Goldicutt, who had been a party to this axt friend of Mrs. Dunn, had thought retire from the suit. He thought that as judg lbout to be pronounced, the Court should know,that fact. Mr. SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to Mr. Knight making any statement after the whole of the arguments in the case were concluded. Mr. Kxl6 II T thought he had a right, under the circum stances of the ease, to do as he had done. _ _ _ Some discussion ensued between the Counsel, which The LORD CHANCELLOR put an end to, by saying, the statement would not influence his judgment, which would be formed npon the case as it stood, when ar gued at the bar.

PX-PARTE BROCKBAWK, IN RE DILWORTII, BANK RI7PTS. The Court was occupied during the rest of the day in hearing the arguments of Council on this petition. The question in dispute was, whether a transfer of 300 shares in the Lancashire canal, which had been made by the bankrupt to the Company some time before their bank ruptcy, was effectual or not ? It appeared that the act by which the Canal Company was established, required that all transfers of shares should be registered in the books of the Company. In the present instance the sale had been effected, but the registry had not been entered till after Messrs. Dilworth had been declared bankrupts. On the one hand it was contended that the sale was there fore invalid, and that the property was that of the cre ditors ; on the other hand the opposing Counsel argued that the transfer being made bond fide, the registry was immaterial; and again, that being of the nature of real Property, it had not passed by the assignment to the bankrupts' assignees, and that therefore the creditors could have no right to it. The case was not concluded at the rising of the Court. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—MAIDSTONE, Avower it. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. TWISS V. HANCOCK. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Miss Mary Ann Twigs, to recover compensation from the defendant, Mr. Henry Hancock, for having failed to fulfil a promise of marriage which he had made to her. No evidence was called, and Mr. Sergeant Ax DREWS then addressed the Jury, and said he was happy for their sakes; for his own, and for the young lady, his client, that this case would be withdrawn from their fur ther consideration. His Learned Friend, Mr. Gurney, had made an offer to him, on the part of the defendant, which he felt it necessary to accept, in duty to the young lady and her friends. Mr. Gurney would offer a few words by way of explanation. Mr. Go RtiEl* then rose and said, he was instructed by his client to make an offer to the lady and her friends, which they had accepted. He was desired by his client to add, that the reason of his withdrawing from the en gagement he had made arose from a circumstance which did not in any way cast any imputation on the character or conduct of the lady; and he thought the Jury would be easily convinced of the defendant's sincerity, when he stated that he had consented to a verdict against him of. 5001. Mr. Justice PARK then directed the Jury to give a verdict for the plaintiff► Damages, 5001. OXEN DEN V. PALM ER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Sir Henry Oxenden, Bart. to restrain the defendant, Mr. Pal • mer, a surveyor of roads, from taking and carrying away beach and shingle from the coast at Herne Bay, of which Sir H. Oxenden was lord of the manor. The manorial right's of this part of the coast belonged to the Archbishop of Canterbury, by virtue of his see, and he subsequently granted a lease of them to Sir Henry Oxenden. The Archbishop's agents had not been so careful of the property as they ought to have been, and every person who pleased went to the beach and carried away shingle. It was used for various purposes, and consequently the demand for it was considerable. The farmer, mariner, and surveyor, all wanted it, the one for his land, to lighten it, the other for ballast, and the latter to mend his ways. The consequence of this universal abstraction of the beach was very serious. The barrier which it formed against the violence and incursions of the sea was removed, and very considerable injury done to the land. A great quantity of soil had been washed away, and the public highway had actually been removed considerably more inland than it was formerly. Notice was therefore given to discontinue the practice. It was partially diminished. Sir Henry Oxenden, on his taking the manorial rights, found that the defendant still continued to take beach, and he therefore gave him no tice not to do so. The defendant, however, contended that he was legally entitled fo take beach, as surveyor of the roads, to mend the roads with. The plaintiff, how ever, felt that he certainly had no such right, any more than any other individual : and if one were permitted, all would come, and the injury at length become very exten sive, and indeed irreparable. The learned counsel (Mr. GURNEY) said, he should call witnesses to prove the facts he had stated, and also that the effect of taking away the beach had been to lower the whole line of beach for a great extent to the depth of two feet. The land was consequently overflowed by the sea, and the houses near the coast were placed in imminent danger. He trusted the result would be that the defendant would be taught that this practice was illegal, and must be discon tinued. The witnesses 'having been examined, Mr. Sergeant SPAN K I E addressed the Jury for the de fendant, and contended that' lie was entitled to a verdict on the ground of immemorial custom ; that it had been the habit of all mankind, as long and longer than the memory of man, to take beach for any purpose ; and specially that, as surveyor of the roads, he (the defen dant) had a right to take beach for the purpose of re pairs, under the same enactment which allowed refuse stones in quarries and other places to be taken for the same purpose. A number of witnesses were called to prove the long existence of the practice of taking beach. Mr. Justice PARK told the Jury, that if they were of opinion that the defendant and any other persons might take beach without the consent of the Lord of the Manor, they would return a verdict for the !defendant ; but if on the contrary, the plaintiff must have a verdtet, with Is. damages.

To the Author of this meritorious little work, Mr. ABERNETHY addresses himself in these words : " Your suggestions and advice are, in general, judicious ; and would, if acted upon, greatly contribute to the preserva tion of health." This is literally true. If all persons were to conform to the rules laid down in the " Simpli city of Health," small would be the fees of Mr. ABER NETHY, or of any other physician. Towards the con clusion of the volume, the author recapitulates the sug gestions contained in the body of his work ; and as this recapitulation is short and comprehensive, we must confer the obligation on the public of transferring it to our co lumns—premising that all those who wish to enjoy a good state of health, and that includes all mankind.... should make themselves acquainted with the book which we have thus introduced to their notice : Those who may be determined to take Longevity captive, and chain Health to their chariot of life, have the road open to certain victory. Camaro has furnished - the plan of operations, and as it is beyond imprOvement, they have only to follow, implicitly, the in structions of that great master. Bet, as self-conquest is the first preparatory step, we cannot estimate mere than one in a million who would bring aU the necer guy quaHlicadass into the field. Since, therefore, so few can be expected to conduct the campaign like Camaro, we may ven ture to trace a modified scale of march for those who, not being to the severity of his discipline, look only to a compara taidvel;aPeartiel success. It is vain to think of sound health, without making ourselves reasonably hardy, so as to Forrest a liability to catching cold upon ordinary occasions. Repletion, or eating too meek, is the cause of most maladies, and this is particularly Injurious as we advance in life. Occasional fasting will generally correct indisposition, widest medicine, which should he couddered, by all who value Mehl as only a desperate resource. , • The things that we like, only sometimes agree with we, end we should And out what is suited for our constitudons—in other werdr; what the stomach, sot the palate approves. The obeervationi ea bile will elucidate this, and Cortaro further explains it. Early rising, general temperance, exercise, and cleanlinese, hehif the four great sources of health in civilised Ufe, its state w• Mit the proportion as we observe them. We require about a fourth of the twenty.fosr hews tee skip' Bet it. should be good, and that can only be acquired by rept* digestion, nod inhaling pure air while in bed. Where we hive not an opportunity of due exercise, standlellie indispensable, and sitting much is very pernicious. One daily evacuation of food is necessary—if we have more, k most generally denotes that we have eaten or drank ton mu ch at some antecedent meal, and we should take less the next day, to restore the equilibrium. If we do not rise early, sleeping with open windows will be a tolerable substitute for that important aid to health. If we mean .to begin in earnest about repairing an infirm or in jured colatitudes,, we should not defer it longer than forty. The use of physicians is, to correct our sensuality, imprudence, negligence, or ignorance, and medicine must be their acting agent, because we will not wait for a slower, but more effectual cure, by simple means. Mediciie being a kind of force above nature, the less we take the better i • and it is, generally, in our own power to render ale wives independent of it. 'Corner° took none, of any kind, during sixty years. When we indulge very freely erne day, we ought to live low and scanty the next. If sick by over-drinking, we should eat nothing the day after—indeed, if businesa pet mit, it were best to lie in bed until the eseendassening following the debauch. The sendinne should eat less meet or solid food than others, and host WWI ee "kits sparingly. They could not take a better luncheon tflsa e Ibsen( bread, and two or three small glasses of port, and they *odd stand while at study or writing—sitting or walking , edy. eseasionelly, for about five minutes. We should eat less meat in summer than in winter. Complaints for want of appetite are mostly absurd. We ge nitally eat too much, and when we do not, it is almost always found that we exceed in drint. It is a good rule never to eat quite as much at dinner as we might. This will not prove so uncomfort able as may be supposed, for, in a few minutes, our desire will cease, and set shall feel perfectly satisfied. Deprived of so many requisite. for the preservation of health, the poor, especially in large cities, could never attain old age, but for their bumble and scanty fare. This shows the value of tem perance, and demonstrates th e wisdom of Cornaro's great fends. mental Principle for health and longevity. We amid sleep on the right aide, with our heads high ; use N* pillows and hard beds ; avoid restlessness and dreaming, and always have part of our chamber window open all night. - Camaro. assertion, that" no man can be a perfect physician to any one but himself," deserves the most profound consideration. Though few can undertake the duty, we should all bear in mind that It Is a truth. It may make us pay the doctor u cheerfully when he gives simple advice, as when be orders medicine ; and that is something. Mr. Abernethy has frequently dismissed patients, without prescriptions, when be knew that the cure was in their own hands. Changes in the constitution take place at different periods, and they should be observed with a due attention, divested of anxiety or apprehension. What agrees with us at one time may not at another, but we must be cautious of experiments, leg we may be seduced into quackery. A Spanish writer says, " the inconveniences of sickness are more painful than the sweetness of health is pleasant." This is a shrewd observation. We do not estimate the health properly, except in the vicinity of pain. If the raging of a tooth suddenly cease, we feel so delighted, that it seems worth while to be born, only to enjoy such an agreeable sensation-4t appears to be the happiest moment of our life. But this fullness of pleasure is confined to a few minutes. Theproximity of pain, and our transition to a state of ease, are alike soon forgotten. We only appreciate the one, in proportion to our recollectionof the other • and It is by not giving this due consideration, that so malty neglect their health until too late for reparation.

There has been much heavy play this season at Brighton, sod many pigeons have been so closely plucked, that they. have not a single feather left to waft them from the scene of vice and ruin to their homes, to ruminate on their folly and the destruedon brought upon them by professed friends and villanous associates.—Brightess Guardian.

HARD LODGING.-- Not tong since a Captain of a steamboat of Columbus started his boat down the Chattahoochee river, and having some business in Randolph county, Georgia, gave up rho helm to his mate, and resolved to take a land-passage by way if a tramp, and join in with the boat at some particular place, where he had heel' in the habit of taking in wood. However, by some means, he loot his way, and came to a woltpen, or wolf-fall. He, supposing it to be a bog pea, thought that be would crawl in at the hole underneath the pen, to rest himself the remaining part of the night, and save himself from the attack of panthers and other devouring beasts of the wood. Bet, unfortunate Captain B--- ! what was his surprise, when, in the very act of getting in, the kg or dead.fall fell upon his back, and held him as fast as if be had been pinned to the ground!

IMPOLICY OF CAPITAL PUN ISIIMENTS.--A remark able fact, like which a second Is, perhaps, not to be found in our judicial annal4took place at the Assizes in the Department of the Seine, on Thursday week. A forger of false money was brought before the Court, and the proofs against him were strong. The verdict of the Jury acquitted him of having made the false coin, and convicted him of keying altered it ; but just as the President was going to read it (racially, be perceived that the Foreman had Dot signed . it. The Jury were, therefore, directed to w i t hd raw, and when they returned with heir second verdict it was one of general acquittal.

La me h ad often missed papers when the prisoner had been in the room before, be caused him to be watched, and charged him with laving the paper as be was leaving the room. Upon this the prisoner took off his hat, and the prosecutor found th e p a p er i n It. H e did wish to deal severely with the prisoner, but would be satisfied if a slight fine, to be given to some public charity, could be impo se d on him. Sir Mcrae., Mama said he bad no power to do any suck thing ; it was as much a &May as the westing of any oth er thing. There were cases, and perhaps this was one, in which such a power might be useful. It was a very proper case for prosecotion. The prisoner made no answer to the charge, but requested to he remanded to St. Martin's watch-house for a couple of days. Sir RICAMID Basra said that request could not be compli e d with ; the prisoner must take his chance in Tothfil Fields prison.

His apartments at the Penitentiary were afterwards searched, and a great number of Newspapers found, but none that could be identified, and he stands committed es the brat charge. Two prisoners were charged by a watchman in Spring Gardens with wantonly ringing Mr. Apr Rllia's door bell, between Is and one o'clock yesterday morning. One was dressed like a serest maid, in mesa attire; the other appeared to be a youth, dressed in a shabby light-coloured great coat, which covered all the rest of his attire, with a black beaver hat in his hand. Forde, the gaoler, asked them what their names were? The former replied, Elisabeth Shepherd; the latter said, Ann Thorogood. Sir ItICJIMPAD Beaune—What! Ann Thoregood? Forde—lt is a girl in boy's clothing, Sir Richard. Sir Rtcnam•—:What is the meaning of all this—why is this dis guise put on? The boy-girl prisoner hung down her head, and said nothing; the other said they were fellow -servants, and wanted to go to see the fire-works on Wednesday eight, but being afraid to go with out a male protector, the other one put on the clothes of a young gentleman In the house. Sir 'bemoan—Why you should have put them on yourself; you are the tallest and biggest—(A laugh). Let us see what sort of wider garments you have got—(turning aside the girl's great coat,. Ob, very good, a waistcoat and trousers ; but why did you ring the bell ? The girl began to cry, bet made no answer. Sir Rura,u the. admonished them on the folly and danger of their conduct, for it might kad to a serious charge to be found so disguised in the streets, but said he should send them about their business this time. The girl-boy made a low curtsey, and thanked Sir Richard, at which there was a loud laugh in the office. Sir iticuaan—Why, yes should have made a bow. and not curtsey its that dress.

Yesterday Gentioser, one of those miserable beings who pace Whitechapel, was committed fur trial for stealing, in that sink of iniquity, George.yard, Whitechapel, 29.. SIA R LBOROU 0 H-STREET. William Lacy was yesterday placed at the bar for re-examina tion, charged with obtaining upwards of fifty yards of cloth, value 451. under false pretences.

The pawnbrokers produced some of the articles, which were MOM to. The prisoner said nothing in defence. and was fully comnihted. UNION—HALL. Alm Margin, who described himself as a seaman, belonging to the Sir William Jail& steam-packet, lately arrived from Ham. burgh, was charged with having in his possession a pleader of tea and tobacco. on which duty had not been paid. The prisoner, on leaving the vessel, It was discovered, had something in Ms hat, which almost prevented its remaining on his head, and, on a con stable examining it, a pound of cigars was foetid inside. The man's unwieldly size nest excited attention, and on his jacket being ex amined, a canvas covering was found inside. which contained up wards of eight pounds of tea. On this discovery he begged hard to be released, saying he had a wife and five children dependent on him Inc support. The Magistrate convicted the defendant, and he was awarded to serve fur five years in the navy. Shaw, the water man who conveyed the last-named defendant in his wherry, was fined 1001. and ordered to be imprisoned until the fine was paid. A poor woman named Stubbs yesterday presented herself before Mr. CHAMIXIS, for the purpose of claiming protection tram the plunder to which she was subjected by an abandoned daughter, whose course of life rendered her parents much misery. The young girl, only about 15 years of age, when placed at the bar, manifested an indifference to her mo.her's fectings seldom witnessed. Whilst the parent was relating, with tears oteaming down her cheeks, the profligate conduct et her child, the latter laughed and derided her grief. It appears that the girl had formed an acqu.intaisce with some wretched females, who persuade her so steal any thing which she can place her hands on, and then the property is pledged and squandered in dissipation.. On Monday i.ijht she contrived to carry away some articles of dress. She did net return hense that night, but the following evening she was taken Into custody at her mother's desire, in the New Cut, surrounded by her wicked eons. panions.
