It LAW 1] -~- COURT OF CHANCERY', EIESOROHOH v. THE 315130! Of LOHHOw. This case, which has been partly argued from tins,. to time, and the facts of which have been already re potted, again occupied the. Court for a considerable time to-day. The suit, it will be recollected, originated in the circumstance of too reverend candidates r the vicarage of S. Stephen's, Coleman-street, baying re ceived an equal number of votes.. escept that a Jew had voted for one of them. The principal questions before tie Court in its present stage, are—first, whether or not an election by ballot, in the way in which that in ques :inn was carried on, is valid: and secondly, who of the' pari hioners have a right to vote at it ? The Loa. CHAXCIWIII adjourned the further argument of the ease to Wtdnesday next. COURT OB KING'S BENCH, APILIL 28. DRAW! O. DROWN AND ANOTIIRR. This was an action of trover for a horse. The plain. tiff was trustee of a married wom4n, whose hu,band, on the marriage, settled the horse in question, and other property, which had previoudy belonged to her, upon her, to her own separate use. The husband was in trade as a leather•dealer,, an :I was the habit of, using tiro horse in the course of his business. A credi tor of his having obtained judgment against him, a writ was delivered to the defendants, Sheriffs of Middlesex, who took the horse in execution; and the question was, whether the horse passe) under the wife's settlement, or was liable for the husband's debts ? -At the trial before the Lnrd Chief Justice at the.l l / 4 1iddlesez Sittings, after last Trinity Term, the plaintiff had a verdict, and in the folloWing Term, i Rule Nisi having been obtained for a new trial, cause was now shewn against the Rule, and Ibe Cosa:, after hearing Counsel on both sides. were clearly of opinion, that the hone passed to the wife,*under the settlement, and therefore discharged the , rule. At one o'clock the Court rose, to attend a inestisig at the twelve Judges, in the E.:charm Chas ter, to amid. of Crown cases, teemed span the late Circuits. . - COURT OF C.O3IIdISSIONIERS OF BANICRUPTI. , 4t y, y, the Creditors of Mears. Joyner and Co . of the Raw ford met for the purpose of proving debts, before the Coin .llll*Viiefisoir na.nhrupt. Mr. Woolope appeared as Counsel for the Creditors. 31r. Rosp was for the Bankrupt. ~I ) lr.Jorpeit, senior, the father of one of the partners in the esta blishment was examined. He appeared to be deeply affected, and sobbed aloud during the examination. 4 appeared that this Gentleman had left the concern some years ago, but not having withdrawn his name, he had been made of course.responsible for the engage mints as one of the firm. He stated that he had de livered up all the title deeds of property to which be had claim, and everything he was possessed of on earth, except about 1001. and his watctr,• which he still had, and which be was now prepared 'to deliver op, if the creditors desired that he should do . so. He was asked whether the firm had embarked in speculations Which turned out injuriously ? He repl:ed that he never knew anything about their having engaged in specula. tions. He had never heard such a thing intimated un til that morning, when he was told it was whispered that something of the kind had taken place. A CREDITOR rose to propose that the 1001. and the watch, which Mr. Joyner was prepared to deliver up, should be prerented to him in testimony of the sense the creditors had of his honourable dealings. It was greatly to be regretted that such a calamity had befallen a Gentleman in the decline of life, who had attained a fine property by industrious and creditable exertions; and it. would be grateful to a man, who hsd nothing to accuse himself of, that a due estimate had been formed of his worth, by those with whom he now came in con tact. He then made the proposition, and expressed bis conviction that there would not be a dissentient voice upon the occasion —(Load applause). A Countryman, whom claim amounted to no more than IL said he did not understand what was meant by giving the bankrupt 1001. and a watch. He wished to have the matter explained. Mr. MONTAGU said, with much emphasis, that he would explain it. The old Gentleman, to whom bene volent allusion had been made, had lost all he was worth to the world. He had been reduced to indigence hom a state of high independence; and it bad been humanely proposed to present him with lOU and his watch. If a proceeding of th's nature was unprecedented, he would take care that the interests i.of his clients should not be interfered with ; but it was in constant practice with creditors who were satisfied of the. integrity of those who were unfortunate. The surviving partners in the house of Marshy Stracey, and Fauntleroy, were ptesented with 6001 or 7001. each, and it would be very estrsicudinary if, upon the present occasion, the usual practice were departed from. Air. Joyner here burst into tears. Mr. Ross also spoke in terms of strong approbation of the pre- , rails Which was then ananinuntslY a gr eed tn. ' 1 0•10erting adjourned to Saturday neat. The amount of the ibratergiven up by bk. Joyner is 52,0001. BOROUGH COURT, Aram 32 '~ WOOD V. JOHNSON.

Bd. the amount of-a bill fpr goods delivered. The case was undefended, and promised nothing what/vet of interest until the verdict was delivered for the sum sought, and the next case called on, when a kfrom ou r tsg man, who had made one of the twelve, stepped the jury -box, and begged the Court to excuse his master, 114 r.

Neivensber, and from Sierra. Leone to the 8% of February, which furnish us with interesting par ticulars 'of the expedition which left England under Captains Clapperton and Petrie, R.N. to explore the interior of Africa, and of the ,utters of - thesquadron on , that station in their active.and.eatne,t exertions to sup press the hateful and illicit traffic in slaves. It appears that during the last year.. 18 vistelr were captured on the coast, who were thus employed in violation of ex isting Treaties, viz.—eight Spanhh, "five PortugUese, five nominally Dutch, with upwards of 8000 slaves. The following are extracts from the letters: " tatuoity, Nov. lit 1823. 44 The British mission to Central Africa having ex cited a lively interest in the minds of most men, any information, however trifling, respecting its progress, may not be unacceptable to the Public. T shall. there- fore, passing over the proceedings of his Majesty's - ship Brazen (in which the mission left England) come at once to the debarkation, on the '2sth of. November, of one of them, Mr. Dixon, at Wydah, in the Bight of Benin, which place is within the sovereignty of. the King of Dahomy, to whose capital, distant ahem 10C miles, this intrepid traveller proceeds, escorted by a Portuguese merchant of the name of De Sussa, .who rail to possess considerable influence with hosMajesty,f r the purpose of obtaining his permission to pa-s through his kingdom, and to ascertain how far he might I.e en abled to protect the mission in its arduous undertaking. Having thus disposed of Mr. Dixon, the Brazen pro ceeded to Badagry (in alliance with the King of Hio), where the rest of the mission had resolved to land, deeming it prudent, for the present, to abandon their former arrangements for passing through the kingdom of Benin, as this would be the nearest route; and hav ing reason to suppose from Mr. Houston, who possesses much valuable information and acquaintance with the natives, that the King of Hio, who is of a mild cha racter and disposition, and particularly inclined to commerce, would not hesitate to afford them facilities and protection for reaching the territory of the Sultan of Soudan, which is more than 150 miles from his ca. pital. Thus matters stand at the departure of the vessel that carries this to Sierra Leone; and I may Venture to assert, that there never was a mission which started under fairer prospects of :access, or were better calculated to ensure it. The head of the mission, Capt. Clapperton (the intrepid traveller from Tripoli to Sou dan, on a former occasion), is so admirably adapted for the enterprise, that we all feel confident, if PROVIDENOI is pleased to preserve his life, all difficulties and obsta cles he may have to encounter will be surmounted by his energetic and undaunted mind. " Nov. 29.—The mission has this moment landed, with our fervent prayers and hearty good wishes for its success. It has been arranged that it proceeds imme diately. without any palaver here, to Hio, where it has every reason to expect his Majesty will se enabled to guarantee its safety to Nyffe, in the kingdom of Soudan, which is under the Sultan Bello, the tried and firm friend of Capt. Clapperton therefore I think it may be con cluded that the mission proceeds under the most cheer ing and favourable auspices, and that its objects will be fully accomplished. Mr. Houston, the stipulator for these terms, remains here, until the mission reaches Nyffe, unless he can contrive to accompany it as ac credited Agent to the mission. Should Mr. Dixon not succeed in regaining here, it is a matter of specula tion whether he may not penetrate through the king dom of Dithomy, and by that would unite at Nyffe, which *ill be another source of congratulation, and will add additional interest to. the mission." SLAVE TRADE. The BRAZEN, during the short time she was on the coast of Africa, has captured the Spanish schooner Clara, of 1 gun and 20 men, with 36, and the brigantine Ninfa, of 150 tons, 5 guns, and 45 men, with 291 slaves on board, men, womes, and children ; and, in order to show the extent to which this inhuman traffic is carried on, has boarded the under-mentioned vessels, fitted for the slime barbarous trade, from which it may be in ferred, that until more effectual measures are taken by the .S orereigns of those nations to prevent their sub jects embarking in such disgraceful and heart-rending pursuits, little can be done towards extending the po. puTation over Africa's vast regions, giving an impulse to agriculture and commerce, and ultimately arriving at the grand objeit—civil;zation. Names of vessels boarded by his Majesty's ship Blum:— L'Belair, of Nantes, Fleury master, four days from Cape Mount, with 16111 slaves, 134 tow, height between decks Oft. Ilia.

L “ On the 22c10f January arrived the Malta, of Liver pool, and the Iberis, of the Havannab, detained by his Majesty's ship Brazen—the for mer for having dealt in slaves in the river Danger, and the latter with 42$ slaves on board. A Brazilian prize of the Athol's is just arrived, which vessel had been giv:42 up, owing to the length of her passage: every bodr well on board, but the slaves have suffered much Lvr the want of provisions."

The following account of a Shooting Club in Denmark, which much resembles a simitar•inatitution in Scotland, is copied from Mr. Rae Wilson's interesting work, entitled " Travels in Norway, Sweden, Denmark," &c. " Another species of amusement, which is denominated the Pa ping( or painted bird, is a very favourite and popular diversion in Denmark, and of this it may be necessary to give some description. &society is constituted of various members, called the King's Shooting Club, who have a code of laws and regulations drawn up for their observance; and it is under the direction of nine mans . . gers. The entrance money is 6C dollars. Members are admitted by ballot, and on election receive a diploma on parchment, with the seal of the society, of which I have been fziroured with a copy. The meetings are held in a large building in the environs, and members are decorated with an order or badge of distinction, which is the figure of a gilt bird, with outstreched wings, perching on a branch of laurel: This is worn on the left breast, and at tached to a button-bole of the waistcoat by a green silk ribband. On the breast art marked the letters D. C. meaning" Danish Company." On outside of the branch is the date 1542, and on the other 1730. In the month of August, when the amusement com mences, the members meet in their ball, and proceed in formal procession to an adjoining field on the west side of the city.: The bird to be shot at is the size of a parrot, gilded and placed on the top of a high pole. According to a law of the institution, the com petitors fire at this mule with large rise pieties, charged with balls, weighing about ten pounds. Those pieces are rested on a triangu lar stand. Whoever is so fortunate as lose to strike the wing of the bird is entitled to &prize. This is sometimes a pair of candle- Kicks or silver tea pot and tea-spoons. Whoever hits the tail is entitled to another prize, and be who wounds the body, Is compli. merited with the principal one, which weighs at least 45 ounces of silver, and receives the appellation of the " Bird King." These prises are surmounted with the royal cypher and the crown. His Danish Majesty opens this ceremony in person, and is entitled to the first shot, the Queen to the secOnd ; and they are followed by the other branches of the Royal Family in succession. The firing continues until the bird falls. In returning to the hall, the " Bird King," accompanied by the procession, first enters the, room, and has the honour of sitting at the head fAU table, laid out for an entertainment, even in the presence of his Majesty. Oa :his occa sion, he is understood to be invested with peculiar privileges, such as proposing toasts, directing the order of the feast; and his own health is first given by the Judges. The members pay 100 dollars each. The festival is honoured by the presence of the Royal Fa mily, and no person, excepting the members, the foreign Minister. , and other distinguis h ed perms, who lire es pecially invited, can b; 'admitted." EMIGRANTS TO CANADA. Comparative statement of the number of Settlers arrived at the Port of Quebec, from 1818 to 1825: 1819 —12,907 ; 1820-11,239 ; 1821 8.050; 1822 -10,468 ; 1823-10,258; 1884-6,.515 ; 1825-9,097. • The aggregate number of Emigrants arrived at fir pert of Quebec in the last seven years, is 68,534. Probably a third of this number have settled in Lower Canada. Minch the most numerous appear to be tradesmen, journeymen and day-labourers, living in the towns of Quebec and Montreal; others ham taken: up new land, but in Leaver Canada such are not so numerous as might be ima gined. A third, it is probable, have gone to the United States, and the remaining may be settled in Upper Canada. An elopement took place a kw days ago at Bath. A young tradesman paid his addresses to the daughter of a neighbour, but the father objected to the match. In consequence, it was settled by the lovers, that the' young lady should set out privately for LOadon, accom panied by her maid, and that the lover should follow afer and marry her. The lady did so; but when her father found that his daughter, was gone, he went to her intended husband, and threatenes,l him with von. geance if he did not confess whither she had fl d. The ardent lover found himself somewhat cooled by this peremptory order, and confessed where the object of his choice was sojourning, viz. at the Swangwith-two- Necks. The enraged father instactly procured a 'post chaise and set out for town, where, on his arrival, he found that his daughter had taken a private lodging. After considerable difficulty, however, he discovered her, brought her back to Bath, and it is new his inten tion to place her without the reach of her constant swain. Tile Baltimore Patriot of the 18,11 ult. contains the following distressing statement :—" Colonel Braemar Kass and his brother Wisman Kase, were drown* in the Canodoguinet Creek, shout nine miles froth Carlisle, Pa, on Wednesday the Bth inst.— Colonel Kees owned a mill and dieaillrry near the above creek, and sot being near a market fur his produce, he attempted tenavi. gate the creek in a skiff; when, in passing a dam, the skiff, In which was %LUAU Kama (t he Colonel Wag OD short; was drawn into a whirlpool and filled y the water flowing over the dam.

Mr. Bleaden said, he regretted that Mr. Florence, iha Solicitor to the Company, was unable to attend, having an inspoespott engage ment at Guildhall. Mr. Brooks having repeated his Amplaint, Mr. !Deaden made the following statement ; that Mr. Hodgson, the person ftonenlions the complainant had purchased his Shares, was not a Mrectot at the time, as stated by him ; that the capital intended to be raised by the ompany was 50,0001. by 1,200 Share, of SSI. each, on which a deposit of 21. 10s. was to be paid; that the Walesa the Company were bept in abeyance merely by the present state of the times, and that the Directors were ready and waling to give an account of the appropriation of the money received ; they were now in the poems. 91011 of a valuable estate; and if the affairs of the Company were carried on, he bad no doubut the Prop' ietors would realise a profit of So/. per cent. The Directors had made personal inquiries, id order to sscertain how the project could be best carried into cation ; and the result was that the scheme, in their opinion ' was it (eatable one, and would be profitable to the Proprietors, and advise tageous to the public at large. They had paid 11,100/. for the lease of the mine*. The Complainant persisted in his statement that the Direetofi had divided the money among themselves, and said that if the Lord Mayor refused to interfere he wuuld indict them at the Srssions. where he should be able to prove the charges he had brought against them. Another Shareholder said, he had bought 115 Shares when they were at a premium; and at the time the CoMpany was first esta blished, an advertisement appeared in The Times, statin; that the Prospectus would be ready in a few days, but that it had nut yet been published. He had repeatedly applied to the Directors upon the subject, but could obtain no information from them. lle re quested they would convene a public meeting of the Shareholders, which, however, they refused to do. After a long conversation between the parties, the Lord Mayor adjourned, the further hearing until TreAlay. GUILDHALL. George Bird, a horse-dealer, apieated before Mr. Alderman Kim to answer the complaint of Mr. awes/cliff, of the Regent Circus, who stated, that on the 14th law. he purchased of the defendant, in Smithfield market, a black mare, with a warranty that it weeper fectly sound. The price be gave was, however, only sete. The hone was led home to a livery stable, at the west end of the town, by an assistant • and repeatedly on the way, he was banter e d by passing horse dealers on having bought a bargain. Two dsys atter it had been housed in the stable, he received an intimation that the horse was slandered, and that the infection had been communicated to Lord Bolton's valuable stud. which happened to be at the same place, for all the injury to which, he would be held respons.bleo- He now wished at defendant to be held to bail, as he was deter mined to prosecute him, and two others, for conspiring to defraud him of the price he had given for the animal. Overtures had beep suede to him to come to a compromise with the parties ; but he did not we for the money, and he should certainly persist in invoking the severest penalty of the law upon the offenders. The defendant denied that be was aware of the unsoundness of the mare; he bought it at Aylesbury only a few days before, under a warranty of soundness, Pia respectable man. Ile was ready to make all things right ; and if the Gentleman was not willing, he could spend £5OO in defending his conduct. Mr. Alderman Her commended Mr. /3arrowelirsdeterrnination, and said, he was sure be would be doing a service t' the public.— He, however, declined, bolding the ptisoner to ball, in the first in stance; but that would not prevent Mr. Ilatroweliff from prefer ring his indictment. . . MARLBOROUGH-STRERT. An old Lady, whose profession g future events to the astonished minds of children and kitchen-mmds, and easing them of whatever loose cash or wearing apparel they may have about them, was on Saturday brought to this office on a charge of vagrancy. It appeared b y the statement of a constable who appr•bended her, that she was standing at the area railing of a house, as ire con sidered, endeavouring to decoy to her one of the girl, in the kitchen, but when she observed the constable approach, The pretended to be asking for a bit of bread, preferring the consequence of a charge for begging, to those likely to follow onefor fortuoe-telling., On her person were found concealed four handsome shawls, a piece of Irish linen, a silk gown, and handkerchief, a watch, several rings, and trinkets. It was stated that she has only been a very short time liberated from the House of Correction, where abe had been three months studying practleally.the use and effect of the tread-mill, on the frame of an old prophetess. The Magistrate ordered her to be brought up again on Ttlesday next, when it is expected that some more rightful owner may be found for these articles than their present-pessessor. • . LAMBETH-STREET. • Tea Rorat.rr TRIATILL—Menus. Booth, Farrell. and Noddle. "late perfo'rmers at the above Theatre, came before the Magistrates, and E: r esented a Memorial, praying them to grant a license for Theatre in the neighbourhood of Wellctuse•quare, until the Royalty Theatre should be rebuilt. The Gentlemen who made the applicaden said, that at this season of the year, performers were engaged for all the Metropolitan and provincial Theatres, and it was, therefore, Impossible for them to procure any engagement. The situation of the persons who were employed in the Theatre deserved the compassion of tbe public, inasmuch as they had been plunged from a state of comparative comfort into absolute poverty and distress. Sir Mutat. Wu.uasts regretted that it was not is his power to comply with the request of the memorialists, as the Act of Parlia ment prohibited Magistrates frost granting any licenses, except at the Michaelmas Sessions. Mr Damac also stated, that the license which was granted to the Royalty Theatre could not be transferred. nor had the Lord Chamberlain any poirer to issue a tern?orary license. If they (the Magistrates, ever gave them permission to perform in any other building, they would be liable to very heavy penalties. Mr. Wray; however, suggested the erection of a tem porary building on the old site, which would have the benefit of the existing license. The applicants thanked the Magistrates, and then withdrew. QUEENSQUARE. William Wards was charged with stealing from a child, six years old, a bundle of linen, the property of .Mr. llathiate. Jane Jedkins, nursery maid to the prosecutor, stated that she. with two of hck master's children, had gene out with the bundle to take to bey aunt's; and in HoHymn-street, Westminster, she gave the bundle to the eldest child to carry, who bad not proceeded many paces before the prisoner came up, snatched the bundle, and ran away. 'The cries of the children. however, caused several persons to pursue him with the alarm of " Stop thief ;" and he threw it away, ►ut was soon after taken and conveyed to the watchhouse.
