This was an appeal from the decision of the Lord Ordinary f Scotland, for the purpose of setting aside certain deeds of settlement executed by the late Earl, the brother of the ap pellant, which the.judgment of the Lord Ordinary, in effect, has declared to be valid. The interlocutor of the Lord Or dinary appealed from, among other matters, contains the following propositions : " That the late Earl of Strathmore held the estates (in question) in absolute fee-simple, and bad full power to dispose of them in any manner not prohibited by law ; that, by the deed of entail, dated Dec. 15, 1815, he did, in due and lawful form, dispone the said estates to him self, and the heirs male of his body ; whom failing to the heirs whatsoever of his body ; whom failing, to any heirs to be named by him, by any deed of nomination or other writings ; that, by deed of nomination of date the 15th of December 1815, be declared his will and intention to ex dude entirely from the succession to his estates, the pursuer (the appellant) ; that by certain clauses in the deeds of en tail and nomination, the conveyance and the rights thereby created are declared to be subject to the burden of a trust deed, executed of the same date ; that the said Earl con veyed the whole of the said estates, and also his whole movable funds and effects, in the event of his own death, to James Dundas,and, by a subsequent deed, to Sir John Dean Paul (the respondents), as trustees; that the objects of the trust appear to be clear and distinct—viz. on the one hand, to accumulate the rents of the existing estate, and any residue of the personal funds, after paying the testator's debts and certain legacies provided, during 30 years, to be employed in the purehase of lands, to be add ed to the entailed estates; and, on the other, to continue the trust and the employment of the rents, during the lives of the Hon. Thomas Bowes, and of John Lyon and Charles Lyon, except in the special case of a son of the Hon. T. Bowes, or of John Lyon, having right, by their deaths, re spectively, to the honours and dignities of the family ; in which events, the trustees are directed to convey the estates to such son, to whom they are destined by the deed of en tail." The ancestor of the family of Lyon, now Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorn, settled in Scotland about the year 1098 ; his name was Sir Roger de Leonne, and he obtained from Edgar, King of Scotland, son of Malcolm Canmore, certain large grants of land, which were designated, after him, Glen-Lyon. The lands and ancient thanedom of Glam mis were, by Royal grant, bearing date the 18th of March, 137.2, given by Robert 11. King of Scotland, to Sir John the heir-male and lineal desendant of Sir Roger de Leonne. Shortly afterwards Sir John Lyon married Lady Jane Stewart, the daughter of King Robert. He possessed for dower the lands and thanedout of Tannadice and barony of Kinghorn, and he was created a Peer of Par liament by the territorial dignity and title of Lord of Glammis. On the 10th of July, 1606, King James Vi. of Scotland, granted to the eleventh Lord Glammis, and the heirs male of his body, the title of the Earl of Kinghorn, Lord Lyon and Glannnis; and King Charles the Second, by letters patent under the Great Seal of Scotland, bearing date the let of July, 1677, as a reward for the fidelity and services of the third Earl of Kinghorn, and of the services which his ancestors had conferred, and losses they had sustained, by adhering to their Sovereigns iu the worst of times, and as an incitement to their heirs male and of talzie, to persevere in the same, and, understanding that the greater part of his lands lay in the vale of Strathmore, therefore that Monarch granted him the title of Earl of Strathmore ; John, the late Earl, succeeded his father in 1766. He died in don on the 3d of June, 1820, leaving four deeds relative to his estates in Scotland, the subject of the present action, which have been above alluded to. The arguments of Counsel on both sides were very long and intricate, to which it would be impossible to do justice ithin the limits which must, of necessity, be prescribed on the present occasion. These reasons, inter alia, were submitted to their Lord: ships by the Learned Gentleman who appeared ou behalf of the respondents. The appellant had no legal title, it was alleged, to insist in reduction of the trust deed, seeing !kit the late Lord Strathmore, being proprietor in fee sim ple of his estates, was unquestionably entitled to disinherit the appellant, and exclude him from his succession, in whole or in part, and to leave his estates to persons even absolutely strangers to his blood. The appellant was barred by the previous conveyance in trust, and by the deed of entail, which I% ere not revoked by the deed of the Ist ofJuly,lB2o, that deed, on the contrary, proceeding on the supposition that the trust deed and entail were subsisting and effectual ; itwas also contended that the deed of the lstJuly,lB2o, was valid and effectual,since it was executed, not on death bed, but in liege ',Gaelic. The LORD CHANCELLOR pronounced an elaborate judg ment, affirming the judgment of the Court below. The gallant veterans of the Egyptian army and navy ce lebrated, by a grand dinner, at the United Service Club, on Monday, the anniversary of that glorious day on which the • brave Abercromby received his death wound." Lord Beres d nag in the chair, and there were present Lords Howden and Cavan, Sir John Doyle, Bart; Sir William Houston, (;.C.B. Sir Thomas Reynolds; Colonels Duffy, Hare, and lieu% ts, with many other distinguished officers. 73 119 1 1e'"?'"TrS . '.? -: PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. BRIGHTON HERALD, MARCH 19. One of the most numerous meetings we have ever known in Brighton, took place on Monday last, at the Old Ship, for the purpose of con sidering the plan proposed by his Majesty's Ministers, fur a reform of the representation of the people in the Commons' House of Parliament; and to consider the propriety of strength ening the hands of the Govern ment, by presenting an address laMejesty, and a petition to the House of Commons, in support of the intentions of his Majesty's ministers therein. The High Constable, Mr. T. G. Sorel, was unani mously called to the chair. The Brighton address and petition had, up to last night, received about 5000 signatures. In glancing over the list, we observed among the names the following :—the Hon. Gen. St. John, the Hon. Lindsay Roper Curzon, Col. Lloyd. S. F. Milford, Esq, W. Seymour, Esq. T. Attree, Esq. R. Bevan, Esq. G. Baaevi, Esq. N. Graham, Esq. J. H. Boner. Esq R. Newnham, Esq. W. Croskr, Esq. and Dr. Gibney. The Committee, who consist of the High Constable , Mr. R. Wigney, Mr. Hilton, Mr. Good, Mr. and Mr. !..amprell, deserve the thanks of the town, for their indefatigable exertions. Better working men could not easily have been selected. They are animated with the right spirit, and are just calculated to carry a public object, of &t -rate importance, into complete effect. At the meeting, in this town, to bear the appeals of persons claiming exemption from serving in the militia, a countryman presented him self, and, on being asked whether he could swear himself not worth 4100 ? replied, " I can safely swear to that, stir." He was then asked if he had more than one child born in wedlock to which be answered, with considerable gravity, " I have more than one child, eur, but they were born in Brighton and not in wedlock." Two meetings on the subject of Parliamentary reform were held at Horsham, on Thursday. The first was held at the King's Head, at which the bailiffs of the borough presided. There were present about fifty persons, among whom were Mr. Robert Hurst, his son, Mr. R. H. Hurst, and several other gentlemen of respectability. The pro ceedings occupied little more than an hour. The second meeting was held at the Crown Inn ; Mr. William Rick wood, in the chair. Mr. Thornton, of Springfield*, addressed the assembly in eloquent terms, which was followed by addresses from Messrs. A. Beauclerk, G. B. Holmes, T. and J. Hon wood, and W. L. Thomas. Mr. R. H. Hurst was also present, and delivered a speech replete with argument and good sense. Mr. Ro berti Hunt, and several gentlemen, who were at the former meeting, attended this also. The number assembled was about two hundred. Oa the morning succeeding that on which the reform meeting was held in this town, a marquee was erected on the Steyne, in which a table, and pens and ink were placed, with skins of parchment, to receive signatures to the addles, to his Majesty and the petition to the House of Commons. Flags were hoisted at the gates of the enclosure, and the novelty of the scene attracted great numbers of persona, who hastened to affix their names • upwards of five hundred signatures were thus ob tained daily, in addition to which several other places in the town were assigned to a similar purpose. The idea of the marquee on the Stryne, which was an excellent one, originated, we believe, with 'Mr. Savage, of the Pavilion Hotel, who conceived that it bore a strong analogy to the Barons of old contesting for their liberties at Rnnnvmede. It is intended by government forthwith to aboli;h the coast blockade, and substitute in lieu thereof the coast guard. In consequence of this measure a large number of seamen have been drafted on board several of his Majesty's ships of war at Portsmouth. The coast guard will commence their duties next week. Government have it in contemplation to take the whole of the funds and the superintendence of the turnpike roads in England into their own hands. THE Nzwaavxx Mt:lnit.—A pamphlet, written by Mr. C. VetraL of Seaford, entitled " The Trial of Captain Harry Winter, " and " with a Letter to Mr. Justice Taunton," has just been published. We have only space for the concluding paragraph :—" I have, I am quite certain, given proofs enough of that malice aforethought which ought to have called for a verdict of murder ; and I have proved that if the object of that inquisition which takes place in our Courts of Jos tice, be the search after truth, there ought to be sonic change made in ithe modes of receiving and admitting evidence."

At a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Northampton, held pursuant to public notice at the Guildhall, in the said town, the 14th day of March, 1831, for considering of the propriety of expressing their hearty concurrence in the measures of re form brought forward by his Majesty's ministers through Lord John Russell, and praying both Houses of Parliament that the same may forthwith pass into a law; H. L. Stockbum Esq. Mayor, in the chair; it was proposed by George Peach, Ea+ seco nded by Samuel Peach, Esq. and resolved unanimously -Ist. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the loss of public con fidence in the House of Commons, as at present constituted, is mainly attributable to the present corrupt mode of the election of a great pro- portion of its members, in direct contradiction to the theory of the Bri tish constitution, the first and great principle of which is the just tepee sentation of the people. 2d. Proposed by Charles Whitworth, R. seconded by Mr. Thomas Sharp, and carried unanimously ;—That this meeting disclaims in the most solemn and unhesitating manner every revolutionary feeling towards the existing institutions of the country. 3d. Proposed by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mr. William Stanton, and resolved unanimously;—That this meeting declares its full concurrence in the comprehensive plan of reform proposed by his Majesty's minis ters, and offers their most hearty thanks for the uncompromising and disinterested manner in which they have fully redeemed the pledges they gave on the great question of reform ; and that this meeting is thoroughly convinced that the success of the great measure proposed is indispensable not only to the restoration of the confidence of the people in the Commons'House of Parliament, but also to the prosperity, peace, and security of the country. The hall was crowded to excess, and an adjournment was loudly called for ; and the mayor being informed that a vast number of people were outside unable to obtain admission, at once adjourned the meeting to:the Market Square, and himself and the speakers took their stations in the balcony in front of the Peacock Inn. On Thursday last, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the householders and other inhabitants of Kettering and its vicinity was held in that town, pursuant to public notice, when petitions to both Houses of Parliament praying for the enactment of Lord John Russell's Reform Bill, were unanimously adopted. Meetings in favour of Lord J. Russell's measure for Reform in Par liament, have been held at Wellingborough, Newport Pagnel, and Leighton Bossard ; at each of which places it has been almost unani mously approved. On the 20th ult, between one and two o'clock in the morning, the house of 51r. Francis Old, of North Crawley, was broken open by a desperate gang of villains, who for a long time have infested the town of Newport Pagnel and its vicinity, and, fortunately for the ends of justice, many of them, through the vigilance of the constables, were, in a few hours afterwards, apprehended, conveyed to Newport, and con tined in safe custody until Saturday the sth instant, when they were brought before the sitting magistrates, the Rev. John Pretyman and T. P. Duncombe, Raq. It appeared, during the investigation, that the inmates consisted of Mr. Old and his aged wife, George Old their son, and a maid-servant. The villains went t o th e bed.side of the aged couple, who had retired to rest, and barbarously beat them with bludgeons—the pillows, &c. were produced before the magistrates, and presented a homd spect acle, being completely covered with their blood.

The splendour, brilliancy, and general effect, of th e Grand Dress Ball on St. Pat rick's Eve, exceeded the most sanguine anticipation than even our knowledge of the liberal arrangements that had been made to render the entertainment worthy of the occasion, and of the lively interest it had excited in the fashionable world, led us to en tertain.

Knight, and Coy Money; agaiust—Rev. A. Matthews and Counsellor Powell. The tremendous hisses and yells which followed Col. Money's church panegyric, in reply to Mr. Charlton against clerical magistracy, re- -•-T~- ~- . • minded man y of Milton's picture of the uproar at Satan's disclosure of his plans to the sable host. In the House of Commons, on Thursday evening, J. Martin, Req. M.P. for Tewkesbury, presented the petition of his constituents in fa vour of the royal, ministerial, and popular measure of constitutional reform. The petitioners emphatically desire "The bill—the whole bill—and nothing but the bill,"—and such is the demand of all Eng land. Will it be resisted? Assuredly not. Can Reform be longer denied to the supplicatices of a long suffering, but determined Pe fire broke out on &today evening, the 136 instant, on the pre.. mime of Mr. Bown, farmer, Amney, near Cireencesta.

It is a bombasin, made of wool of the finest possible quality : its appearance is light, and beautiful as to texture, to a degree that cannot be im agined, and falls, when made up, in the most graceful folds. The body is white, and the train pone/eats. HAILWICIL—On Wednesday morning, about three o'clock, a diabo lical attempt was made to set fire to the dwelling house of our worthy and exemplary vicar, which was happily frustrated by the vigilance and providential arrival of Robert Gosnall, one of the inspectors of the watch, who came up at the critical period, when a quantity of combus tible materials in a conk, placed against the street door, ignited,which he speedily extinguished. alar.non.—lt has always been the unhappy fate of this town, — that every measure concerted fur its welfare, should be defeated by the jarring of private interests, or the operation of political jealousy. It was in consequence of these, that a plan was carried into execu tion which has robbed the town of much of the benefit which ought to arise from its import trade. For the same reason it is, that the valuable fisheries in the River Blackwater, are at present under no cottroul—no restraint or impost is laid on the foreign fisherman, who takes away the fish whenever he chooses, while the English fisher man is obliged to be content with what is left. The following is a verbatim copy of a letter received a few days ago by Mr. Russel, keeper of the Huntingdon Gaol, from "Jack Ketch, " who was desirous of having an annual salary from the county, instead of being paid by the job. as heretofore, for carrying the last sentence of the law into effect on condemned criminals : " My best respect to Mr. and tin. Russell, and family, hopping it will find you all in good health, as it leaves me at present, thank GOD for it. I should like to know whether there is any thing to be done at Huntingdon Gaol this time. I should wish to make agreement to do it yearly at both Huntingdon and Cambridge, whether there is a job or not. Please to let Mr. Orridge, of Berry St. Edmond's, know I wish to make the same agreement with him to do the job by the year, and 1 will be your omble servant at any time, there or any where else when you want my services. Send me an answer beck when you think proper. " THOMAS IZZEARS, your omble servant." COLCHISTER MAaaET.—The supply was very abort to-day. Wheat was much the same as last week.

The Cattle Market was well supplied, and prices much the same as last week, except in pigs, which are considerably dearer. MARRIED.—At Bexley, by the Lord Bishop of Rochester, the Rev.

A petition in favour of the emigration project is in course of signa ture in this city r but we are sure that many of those persons whose names we have beard are attached to it—whom we know to be influ. enced by the best motives—cannot be aware of the injustice which would be consequent on such a measure. They can hardly be aware that one clause of the intended act is, that the poor who by emigrating, shall lose their parish settlements in this country, shall never again be enabled to regain them. So that a person once starved into a compliance with the emigration advocates, no sooner acknowledges the same, than he pro nounces his own doom to perpetual banishment. Dorset Assizes commenced on Monday, at Dorchester. Edward Wilson was found guilty of robbing, in April last, the Devonport mall of a parcel containing 2,8111. in notes, Etc. and sentenced to seven years' transportation. On Thursday last, the next presentation to the Rectory of Frampton Cottrell, in this county, was brought to the hammer at the Auction Mart, London, and produced 3,500 guineas. The parish contains 2,140 acres of land, (with the hamlet of Wiekwick); the annual in come of 7181. 18s. The present incumbent is aged 72. In consequence of the extension of the elective franchise to Frome, the honour of representing that town, it is said, is likely to be severely contested ; two, if not three, very respectable individuals, having already commen ced canvassing among their respective con nexions. CLIFTON Suarez/610x Bazooe.—Mr. Brunel, jun. has been unanimously appointed Civil Engineer, for the erection of this bridge. Tuesday, the wife of a poor labourer, named Enock Porch of Brad ford, was safely delivered of three fine male children. Our informant states that this increase of the poor people's family is likely to increase their afflictions, which are of no small amount. The father ' by trade a weaver, has long been out of regular employment. A little straw only forms the poor woman's bed. John Hawksey Acherley, Esq. proposes, in Bath, a Grand General Meeting, to lay a basis, in an Address to the King, and in the resolu tions to be entered into for presentation to his Majesty's Ministers, leading to the incorporation of the out part of the parish of Walcot ; and of the parish of Bath wick; and that of Lyncombe and Widcombe, with the city of Bath ; so that all these may be represented by the members to be elected for the city of Bath. Tuesday, Thomas Bodman, who, though only ten years of age, is an old and consummate thief, was committed by the mayor for trial at the assizes, on the charge of stealing a breast of mutton from the shop of Mr. Nowell, butcher, of Walcot-street. The prisoner has been re peatedly in custody and whipped for felony. Yesterday morning, David Williams, a plumber, whilst fixing a pump in the yard of the White Hart Inn, the arch on which he was standing gave way, and he was in an instant coveted under an immense mass of stone and rubbish. Fifteen men were soon engaged to remove it and ascertain his fate. After fourteen hours incessant toil, they rescued him alive and little hurt!

A plea sent little MW, as the patrons of pugilism would thee on Tuesday at Whetstone, on the Bernet road, between lliCarthy sad Smith, the East-end Sailor Boy, for a stake die.

Upon coming to the scratch, MT -artily was waited upon by Net Crawley and Shme ; and Smith by Harry Holt and Nal Stockman. In the very first round the Sailor Boy bore down upon his opponent, with a determination to do mischief; and dealt him such a tremendous right-handed hit on the ribs, that two of them gave way, and wet* fractured. This !Royce a fortunate commencement ; and for th e 1 3 rounds which foliowed, the Sailor kept th e " weather gauge"—always hat! the advantage. and fought with such rapidity, head and fists, t h at poor Mar had not a chance. In twenty-two minutes he was incapable of continuing the combat, while the Sailor Boy had not a mark. lac was taken from the ring with the consolation of three broken ribs, while the Sailor.boy was "all salve and kicking"—justifying the confidence of his friends, who had backed him at six to four on entering the lists. There was a second fight between two outsides, named Mike Cokely and Paddy Nowlin. The latter a perfect skeleton, and " pigged," as the saintoscenti said, "from a bone yard." They fought seventeen minutes bone giving way to flesh, and Paddy's grinders leaving off candidates for a sinecure in his breeches pocket, for they were as loose as the vane of a weathercock. The sports of the day went off "most agreeably," and good hum our prevailed throughout. LENT ASSIZES. EXETER, TUESDAY, MARCH 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice TAUNTON.) MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN DT THEIR OWN BOTHER. Mary Revel stood indicted for having, on the 18th of October last, feloniously and wilfully murdered John Fowel and William Fowel, by strangling and suffocation. The unhappy prisoner, on being placed at the bar, exhibited the clearest symptoms of insanity. Her mental aberration was entirely of a religious character, and during the whole of the trial she continued muttering detached sentences, to the effect that her children were happy, that she had killed them in obedience to the commands of her Saviour, who had appeared to her, and given her directions upon the point, and that she should be glad to ace them again; with other expressions of a similar character, all denoting the highest degree of fanaticism. Mary Wilcox deposed that she lived in the same house with the prisoner and her husband in Plymouth. The husband worked in the Mck-yard. They had two sons, one of them about six years and a half old, and the other younger. Witness saw them both alive, and in good health, on the 29th of October last. On the following morning she saw them lying dead in one bed. The prisoner said that they had died at four in the morning, and that the room was surrounded by angels at the time of their death. The prisoner has always been in the habit of talking • great deal to herself during the time that witness knew her, which was more than three years. Witness never thought the prisoner right in her mind. William Honeycomb deposed, that on the 30th of October, the prisoner came to her husband in the Dock-yard at Plymouth with his breakfast. She told her husband that the children were dead. The husband answered that if they were, she murdered them. She replied, that no woman ever killed children. She;said that they had died n ear the morning. She then asked w itn ess to p ersua d e her husband not to come home, and inquired where the sexton lived that she might fetch him to measure the children for their coffins, and she also requested witness to come and help to bury them, as she wanted to get them out of the way as soon as possible. Her husband had been on watch in the dock-yard that night, all night. She had previously often told witness that her husband was insane. Ambrose Nosworthy deposed, that he saw the prisoner sitting on the 30th of October, in the morning, by the side of the bed where her two children lay dead ; her hands were clasped and in her lap, and she looked wild, and turned her eyes away from the bed. The children had marks of finger nails on their necks and other parts of the body, and the hands of one of them were firmly clinched, and he seemed to have died very hard.* She said that they died a natural death, and had a happy release; her husband asked her to tell him how it hap. pened. She said to the husband, " You are mad, not I." Her eyes were very wild; she asked witness to bring her a Bible when he took her to gaol ; witness thought her decidedly insane. (One of the preceding witnesses deposed, that on the evening in which the children had been murdered the witness was engaged in reading the Bible.) James Day deposed, that he had known the prisoner for a long time, and that she was subject to a pain in the head, which affected her mind. In July last she told the witness that she had been a long time in bondage. but that she was become • free woman, for that her Lord Jesus Christ had at length appeared to her. Thomas Crossing, &surgeon, deposed, that he examined the bodies of the children after death. There were marks of human nails upon their necks, and he had no doubt whatever of their death having been pro. diced by strangulation and suffocation. Witness considered the pri soner as most decidedly insane. The Jury, under the direction of the learned Judge, returned a ver. diet of Not Guilty, upon the ground of the prisoner' s having been Mame when she committed the act. The learned Judge directed that she should be detained in custedy until his Majesty's pleasure should be k nown as to t h e met h o d i n which she was to be disposed of. His Lordship stated, at the same time, that there existed no ground for imputing any negligence to her husband, as he had long before the destruction of the children, requested the parish officers to place the woman in a Lunatic Asylum, which they refused to do. POLICE REPORTS. Bovv-a T .—Yesterday a man named Starling was charged with the following robbery :—lt appeared from the statement of a toor half witted Irish lad, named Cunningham, that on the night of the 10th Mat. on hie return home with his Irish bagpipes, he was net by the prisoner, who entered Into conversation with him.

MsaLsonouns; STREET.---Yesterday, a young female, named Elizabeth Fuleher, was charged with stealing several articles of jewellery, &c., the property of a lady named Verdun, residing in Port. land Place.
