In this case the judgment of the Court was, that a deed may be re ceived in evidence, which secures to several Persons a sum of money, °eh tit- ad valorem stamp may not be sufficient if the sums were • they pep :rattly, because as the specific sum due to each person is not Jr er :weed, they could not sue individually for any part of the aggre. gate sum, and, consequently, they have not separate interests in the security. With respect to the proper stamp not being on the first deed pro. (bleed at the trial, by which it was sought to introduce the second, the objection was fatal; therefore the Court, considering the interests of all parties, ordered that a new trial be granted. the defendant paying the costs of the former and the present application. • • • • Et ler ir p i r - IeCtUST • Olotayermen wo guano of the Lo Mayor ha of King's Bench. for the ('mu COATTILD V. BALL% This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an architect and surveyor, against the defendant, an upholsterer, to recover 1191, the balance of a sum claimed as compensation for preparing and drawing certain plans of a number of new houses erected by the defendant in Hyde.park place. Hyde-park corner. The original contract between the parties ass that the plaintiff was to he paid 4001. for planning and executing the drawings, &c. and to receive '2l guineas a week for super. intending the progress of the work. The plaintiff accordingly executed the drawings, and continued to superintend the work until he was ob liged, by indisposition to go into the country, after which he continued to send up written instructions to town, in accordance with which the work was finished. It was contended, however, on behalf of the defendant that the plaintiff was not entitled to the full remuneration contracted for, in consequence of his having discontinued his personal superinten dence of the work. _ _ _ _ _ _ The jury, however, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount of the balance claimed. POYNTER V. NORRIS. This was an action brought by a suryeyor against a gentleman of i some fortune, residing at Betshanger, near Deal, to recover a sum of eighteen guineas, claimed under these circumstances. The defendant is the proprietor of the advowson of Betehanger, and, conceiving a desire to effect some alterations in the church, he requested the plaintiff, whom he met at a friend's house at Margate, and who had been recommended to him as an architect of great talent and taste, to ride over to Beta. hanger a distance of five miles, and give him his opinion as to the in.. tendeeimprovement. The plaintiff accordingly made two journies to the place, and also made some pencil sketches, and upon his arrival in town, be employed another surveyor to make an estimate of the expense, which the latter calculated at 1,1001. For this ser vice the plaintiff demanded 181. las, 111. of 'which he chimed as per tentage on the estimate, and the balance due for his rides and sketches. The defendant refused to pay him this sum, alleging that 1,1001. would build the whole church from the ground twice over • and the slight pencil sketches, therefore, which he had sent, had been no manner of use. He paid, however, twelve guineas into court. The plaintiff called witnesses, who swore that five guineas a day was a reasonable allow. once, in their opinion, for riding toe distance of five miles, and making sketches, exclusive o f per tentage of one per cent. on the estimate. The Jury, however, thought that the sum paid into court by the de fendant was sufficient remuneration, and returned a verdict accordingly. EDMONTON PETTY SESSIONS, Aler 24. The veteran Johnson appeared before the sitting magistrates, Messrs. Robinson and Morse, at the Angel Inn, Edmonton, to support the informations which he had laid against the proprietors of new beer shops in that neighbourhood, for selling beer on the Sabbath-day during the hours of divine service. The first information was against Joseph Auty, the proprietor of a new beer-shop at Southgate, which he designates by the sign of the Chase Gate. Murray, the informer's witness, stated that he went into the dcfcn. dant's shop on %Hay, the he of May, at twelve o'clock in the fore noon, and was served with a pint of ale, for which he paid three-pence halfpenny • he drank it, and came away. The defendant did not deny the charge, and was fined 40i. and Gs. Gil. There was another information against the same defendant, for a si milar offence on the afternoon of the same day, and the magistrates con victed him in another penalty of 40s. and 6s. 6d. costs. Elizabeth Jones, who keeps a new beer-shop at Edmonton, was charged with serving during the hours of divine service. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of 40s. and 6s. 6d. costs. James Corkett, proprietor of a new beer-shop at Tottenham ' was charged with selling beer during the divine service , and was also con victed in the penalty of 40s. and Os. 6d. costs. The next case was against Alexander Martin, proprietor of a new beer shop at Edmonton, for a similar offence. Johnson said that he had been all round London for some miles, and from his personal observations, he could state that the proprietors of the new beer shops in general conducted their business in a very shameful manner ; in fact, they were not only open during the whole of divine service, but they were open to a late hour at night. He was, however, determined to lay intortnations against all of them so offending, as they did not give the regular licensed victuallers a chance ; for while they were closed during divine service the beer-shops were crammed. The Magistrates said, that the beer-shops had become a most in tolerable nuisarce, and they most sincerely wished that they were all done away with. Johnson said he would use his best endeavours to keep them in or der, but he was afraid it was almost impossible. Johnson now presented nine informations against the proprietors of new beer.shepa, which were instantly signed by the hlagistrates. As soon es Johnson and his witness left the office, the latter was as sailed by Mark Auty, the son of the first defendant, who threatened him. Johnson immediately went back and informed the Magistrates of the circumstance, who ordered the offender to be brought before them ; and after hearing Alurray's statement, the Magistrates directed the defendant to kind bail. On Wednesday, an Eieteddroel, or Meeting of Welsh bards took place in the Freemasons' Tavern. A Concert of Welsh music was given on the occasion, the principal performers bring Messrs. Parry, senior and junior, Mr. and Mrs. Knyrett, Miss Cramer, Mr. Horncastle, and sundry others; in addition to these Mr. Punt played on the French horn, Mr. t r'Da7ies on the pedal harp, and Mr. Prichard on the Welsh harp. A public meeting of the Unitarian Association took place on Wednesday evening, in the Unitarian Chapel, South-plate, Fins. bury. The report of the Treasurer and Secretary were read, and vari ous other business tran-anell. From the treasurer's report it appeared that the society's expenditure had exceeded its intone for the last year by 701. but at the same time it was stated that the society possessed books to the value of 20001, and a onnsidetable augmentation of the sub scriptions was expected. .trnong the company was the celebrated Indian Bramin, Itammohun Roy, who lately arrived in this country,' anti who is reported to hold opinions on religion, confirmable with the Unitarian doctrines. lie was congratulated on his arrival in the chapel by Dr. Bowring, who passed a high compliment upon his ex. ertions in behalf of his fellow-countrymen. Rammohun Roy stated himself to be much flattered at the welcome he had en:eked, but con. fessed his ignorance of what he had done to deserve so much applause. He said that he believed most of the gospels for the sake of his own as'. ration ; but he found that his opinions on the subject were opposed in India both by the natives and the Christians. These, and a few other words to the game effect, were spoken by Rammehun Roy, in the English language, without difficulty or embarrassment ; but the weak. nets of his voice, arising (tom bodily infirmity, must have preveated all brit those immediately around him Min hearing what he said. Rani. nrolmn Roy was dressed in his native costume. His countenance fit very handsome ; but there is an expression of feebleness and suffering about it, which denotes that he is still labouring under the effects of indisposition. After an hour and a half's stay, during which time he had listened to the proceedings with the most perfect gravity, he com plained of exhaustion, and requested permission to retire ; but he was so much overpowered by weakness, that while leaving, he was obliged to stop to recover his strength, two or three times in the space of a few yards. 'NE OODA Lit.s.—A celebrated bassoon player of Drury lane ochestra, named Goodall, was more attached to his bottle, or those probably of other-folks, than to his old and tried friend the bassoon. A very natural consequence arose out of this undue partiality. Goodall was frequently absent from his home and his post without leave. On one occasion. after an absence of eight or nine days, (a junketing lapse rather longer than usual,) lie made his appearance with the utmost .any froi , l towards the close of the piece. The leader looked solemn,—the faces of the musicians in full band testified esionishment ; Goodall was alone cool and composed as if nothing had happened. The performance of the evening, by chance, was one of Fteldings laughable Ballad Farces— Tee Intriguing Chamber maid— it. which there is the part of an old fellow called Goodall, who returns rather unawares froth a journey, attended by his valet, laden with his sae de nub, paraplule, and his cloak. In this scene of the Ballad, a lady, surprised at his sudden appearance, is made to exclaim," What ! can 1 credit my eyesight !—Mr. Goodall !—so quickly returned ?" Pro. eierly at this monies t the thing Goodall thrusts his head into the orchestra, and supposing the speech addressed to himself, replies, with Ml:ruing good• humour, " Dear lady, I'm here frU half-an-hour I" nekham Rye, May 2d. 1831.—F.E. rANC)RAItIA OF THE lIRITiSH EMPIRE.

Ross HORTICULTURAL SoCTETT.—The second meeting of this flourishing institution took place on Wednesday last. The room was not opened till nearly three o'clock, in consequence of the immense overflow of choice specimens sent for exhibition. Upon our admission, the coup d'ail was imposingly grand, the large stand at the upper end of the room presented such a display of rare productions from the hot houses and green houses of numerous contributors, as were never beibre seen congregated together in this part of the kingdom ; the tables in the centre were loaded with a profusion of tulips of the must beautiful de scription. GLOUCESTER HORTICULTURAL SOCIRTT.—The second exhibi tion for the season took place at the National School Room, on Friday, and was extremely well attended. The show of tulips was very splendid. and, considering the unfavourableness of the season this tribe of flowers comprise numbers in a state of very high perfection.— The anemone, were neither so numerous nor so good as we have seen on former occasions, and the same remark will apply to the gera niums.

There was a full attendance of the fashionable' of the neighbourhood, and the Grand Stand exhibited some flue specimens of green.house plants, &c. The show of tulips was splendid ; but the long continuance f east wind was evinced in the out of door flowers. There were some excellent samples of early potatoes and other products of the kitchen garden. On Tuesday last, a serious accident happened at Abercame. Some rejoicing took place, in consequence of the late suceess of Mr. Hall—a cannon burst ' when a man was killed, and another had his band so much injured, that he was obliged to have it amputated. Woof. Tawas.—The wool is still in a state of stagnation, but it eon hardly be said to be low in price; there is little doing in it. Hardly any parcels now remain in the growers' hands, and the dealers who are holders do not seem inclined to give way, and the manufacturers are re. luctaot to keep up to the point of advance which the others wish to maintain. It having appeared, in the coune of the examination into the circum stances attending the late melancholy accident, by which Sir Joseph Yorke and three other individuals lost their lives, that a grievous want of knowledge of the means by which suspended animation may be re stored, io cases of this sort, prevailed among those who took an active part in picking up the bodies of the unfortunate men, by which at least one life was lost, the foll ow i ng o b servat i ons , extracted from a recent lecture by Sir Astley Cooper, will, it is to be hoped, be not deemed altogether unworthy of serious attention :—" When a person is taken out of the water," says Sir Astley, " nothing is so absurd, or so likely to cause death, as to hang the patient up by the heels, under the notion that the water will run out of his lungs. This has been practised, but it is most fatal. What I would recommend as the first things to be done, even at the water's edge. is to lay the patient on his back, his head being a little elevated ' • and then let some one press strongly on the breast-bone, wi t h both hands, as to depress the ribs; and then let them spring up again, so as to induce respiration. After this, the patient should be taken to a moderately warm room, his clothes taken off, and his person wrapt in a blanket. If this cannot be done, let him be laid on a dung heap. It often happens that bleeding is necessary, to relieve the heart from an overload of blood. This should be done by making a small puncture in the jugular vein ; this must, of course, be done by a surgeon, but what I had before rccom. mended may be done by any person, and it requires, no apparatus. After the respir a tion a nd t h e c i rcu l a ti on o f t h e bl oo d ate restored, commence friction, and give brandy. If you cannot succeed in re storing respiration by the mode I have mentioned, tie a handkerchief round the nozzle of a pair of bellows, press the nose of the patient, and put the end of the nozzle of the bellows in his mouth, and thus try to infiate the lungs," MARRIED.—W.

St. George's Church, in this town, in which there are 1332 free sit tings for the use of the poor, was opened for public worship on Sunday last. Two very excellent and appropriate sermons were preached on the occasion by the Rev. H. Pountney, A.M. and the Rev. G. B. Clare, A.M. the appointed 111inister. The congregations were large and highly respectable. It was with peculiar gratification we observed the free seats well filled, and we are glad to find that most of the pews are taken. The deficiency of church accommodation here has been long a source of regret. At the Birmingham Theatre, on Friday evening, the Rev. Dr. Booker's newly published drama, " The Champion of Cyrus," was produced upon the stage for the first time, and met with a most fa. vourable reception from a highly respectable audience. The drama is, we understand, about to be performed at one of the principal London theatres. The Rev. Mr. Wolff baying been requested, by the London Jews' Society, to return to England, has declined complying with the request, and has determined to proceed through the Interior of Africa to the Cape of Good Hope; and has, therefore, relinquished all further con nexion with the Society.

On Tuesday last, the Hight Hun. Robert Grosvenor, one of the re• presentativcs:for this city, and Comptroller of his Majesty's Household, exchanged his state of single blessedness for that of matrimony, by en tering into its holy bands with the Hon. Charlotte Arbuthnot Wel lesley, the amiable and accomplished daughter of Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador at the Court of Viennu. The nuptial ceremony was performed in London, by the Hon. and Rey. A. C Talbot, at St. Gtorge's Church, Hanover-square, in the presence of several members of the Grosvenor and %I' ellesley family, amongst whom were Earl Grosvenor, the Countess of Mornington, Earl Wilt o n, E ar l T a lb ot , Lady Cec il Talbot, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, Hon. Gerald Wellesley, Lord Marcus Hill, &c- The lovely bride was given away by her uncle the Duke of Wellington, and the happy couple, on the conclusion of the ' ceremony, set off for the scat of his Grace, at Strathfieldsaye, where' they intend to pus the honey-moon. The Hon. Miss Wellesley, is the only daughter of the Marchioness of Anglesey by her first marriage with Lind Cowley, which was dia. solved in the year 1810. Lord Cowley remarried in 1816, with Lady Georgians Charlotte Cecil, sister to the Marquis of Salisbury and the ' Marchioness of Westmeath, by which noble lady he hu one daughter. The fair and accomplished bride is in her 24th year, Mr. Grosvenor Is in his 310, and the venerable Countess of Mornington, thegrandegothet of the bride, who was present at the ceremony, is now in bet/ 88th year... This happy event was celebrated in the city of ('heater with every demonstration of joy and respect, and in a manner which must be highly gratifying to the feelings of the house of Eaton. The bells rang mertily throughout the day, and as pains had been taken to distribute among many of the working orders, the necessary requi sites to ease their souls of sorrow and care, the day was generally spent in festivity. About two hundred and fifty gentlemen and trades men dined together, by invitation, at the Royal Hotel ; and this assembly exhibited, for the first time these fifty years, in this hitherto divided city, the novel scene of the partizans of all parties Wended most harmoniously together—thereby illustratin¢ the good effects of the Reform Bill even before it has passed—for to the agitation of the reform question we may truly asaibe that universal goad feeling which now exists among all classes of our citizens.

Pzwzawcz.—The joy diffused amongst all classes in this neigh bourhood, in consequence of the termination of the county election in favour of Sir C. Lemon and Mr. Pendarves, it would be useless to attempt to describe. On Monday morning, a party of about 140 free holders (reformers) of Sc. Just and Land's-end, entered this town in procession, on their return from Lostwithiel, and paraded through the different streets amid the cheers of the inhabitants. FALMOUTIC—The termination of the county election, was known here on Saturday evening, a quarter before seven. the intelligence hav ing been brought by the Pigeon, whose arrival was anxiously awaited by upwards of a thousand persons assembled in the Moor, to 'earn the state of the poll. A bulletin announcing the event was immediately exhibited, and called forth the most enthusiastic cheers. LISZE•IIII. On Saturday evening, at seven o'clock, the news was brought here that Sir R. Vyvyan and Lord Valletort bad declined pro ceeding any longer in contesting the county. Within ten minutes the news had spread far and wide. The people collected outside the can mittec-roums, and from that time until twelve o'clock. the town was in a tumult of joy. The Liakeard amateur band, accompanied by a vast multitude, went out on the western road, until they met Mr. B. Lyne, Mr. Reach, Am. whom they drew into the town. Verissinio, who is noticed in the Lisbon Papers as having been dis missed by don Miguel, is one of the creatures of the tyrant, and bad absolute authority in arresting any individual without cause or charge.

Tea PITMEN Or THE TYNE AND THE WEAL...-In our last we expressed a hope that before this paper was published the strike would be entirely abandoned. While we are sorry to observe that this has not been the Cast, we must declare our gratikstion that the pitmen will speedily be again universally in employment. The Jarrow and Hebs burn pitmen willingly came forward, and agreed to bind; and 'though some slight attempts were made in the course of the past week to carry on the opposition to the terms of the coal owners, the feeling in favour of returning to work is gradually increasing. JESMOND COLLIZZY.—We understand that the above colliery has been opened again without military protection, on the generals/some* of the pitmen of their peaceable intentions toward all those who choose to go to work there under the present arrangements. We trust they will not in any way disparage this act of confidence to their general cha racter, by offering any interruption to the workmen.

He was answered in the affirmative, ;and assured that every one, from the landlord to the scullion, were la favour of the measure which now engrosses public attention.

What an indefatigable labourer for the good of Ireland ! On Sunday, some miscreants in Limerick broke O'Gorman Mahon's 'carriage, and one even struck him. Mr. Steele, who happened to be near at the time, rushed into the crowd, struck the ruffian, and handed him over to the custody of the Mayes, who arrived at the moment, ac companied by some of the soldier/ LIVERPOOL TILECIRAPII.—Tbe statement of the poll at Dublin, up to Monday evening, was received by telegraph yesterday (Tye day) afternoon.

Massion-Housz.—Evecures AND EASE. —A weaver, nan et! Heath, and a chimney sweeper namedChandler,were brough t b e f ore tht LORD Mayes, charged with having driven in a curricle furiou s l y through the town, and with having horsewhipped a police-offictr, N. ! requesting that they would not run over the people. The officer stated that his attention was arrested in the street by the confusion of persons who were getting u fast as they could out of IN way of a curricle which the weaver sou driving, sometimes on the pave. meat, and sometime in the middle of the street. The horses *e h smoking, and appeared to have travelled very hard, and the driver. sat' the chimney sweeper, who sat by his side, seemed to be drunk. Wit.. ness ran up, showed them his slat, and called aloud to them to dela, less rapidly ; but the weaver did not like to be checked, and gave him some desperate 'dashes across the shoulders and loins. At length, ski t the assistance 01 Allen, the streetkeeper, and some of the passersby, the two defendants were shoved out of their seats, and lodged in ti,, watchhouse. Several persons who witnessed the dangerous and eccentric 'staidi. tion, said that none but madmen could have driven in such a manner. A geutleman who resides in the neighbourhood of the place vibe% the defendants were stopped, stated that, when he saw such a pair i n the cuticle, he at once concluded that they bad stolen it. The sweep, who wore a nightcap, and looked jt.st m it' he came out of a chimney, sat coolly smoking x short pipe, and looking back while his companion drove; and the weaver was without coat or waistcoat, and wore a high four -cornered paper cap. They bad driven round Smithfield, and from thence with the greatest rapidity through the streets over Blackfriars Bridge, dashed along the road till they reached Camberwell-green, gallopped round Peckham, and, after three hours drive, returned to the City, where they were checked. An elderly gentleman, the owner of the curricle, stated, that he knew the driver, and had requested that he and a little boy would drive 1' home to Islington. It appeared, however that the chimn e y- sw eeper had given the boy a halfp e n n y f or his place,i and that the driver, in. stead of doing as he was ordered, put the lives of the public in jeopardy all over the town. The Lord hlayor—Did the chimney-sweeper encourage the weaver to drive rapidly, or to assault the officer ? A Witness--1 can't say he did. He sat smoking his pipe all th.. time. Although every one laughed, there was no change in him. The LORD MATOR,....Did he say nothing at all ? ‘Vitutst--Yet, he took out his pipe to spit, and said with a shake of the head, it was all d—d nonsense; and so be continued to smoke until he was dragged out of the curricle.—(Laughter.) It appeased that they had dined together, for upon the seat wire found half a quartern loaf, a piece of a German sausage, and part of a head of a summer cabbage in a baron. The weaver denied that be bad gone the distance described. The boy had, be said, jumped out and left him, and the only person he could prevail upon to help him to drive was the chimney-sweep:r, whom he obliged by driving a little way to see a friend. As for the danger, he did ail he could to prevent the horses from running on the pave ment, but they insisted upon it, and it was in the endeavour to prevent them with the whip, that he accidentally whipped the officer. The chimney sweeper said he never moved. for he thought it much safer to sit quiet than to kick up a dust. He had had two or three calls to make in the City, and if he had been tumbled out, he would not have been fit to be seen, so he thought he might as well smoke his PiPe• The Lord Mayor ordered the weaver to find bail for tke insult, and to pay ss. for being drunk. The chimney sweeper, who left his mark behind him in the curriele, was discharged. AFFECTING CASE.—A Coroner's inquest was held on Monday last, at the Haberdasher's Arms, Homan, on the body of Thomas Davis, aged 61, a horse-dealer, residing in Great Chart-street, East-road, City-road, who came by his death in the following manner: —Rasing some business to transact in litopemaker-street, Finsbury. he met by chance with an old acquaintance named Jerry Aish, landlord of the Jack of Newbury, in Dunhill-row, and they went to Owen's, the Crown, in Chiswcll-street, to have a glass of gr.ig, where they m e t a man named Wilson, of the George, in Aldenuanbury, to whom Davis was indebted a few shillings. Some words arose between them ; when Wilson, taking Davis by the collar, observed that be was not a fit man to be in their company, and endeavoured to thrust him out of the house. In the struggle, Davis fell and broke four of his ribs, and groaned, and on being assisted up by two men, to whom he was known, Harry Macdonald and Joe 51aa thester, observed, " This Is ...gal to me, this blow has done for me.". His ftierd Aish immediately seised Wilson by the collar, and shook him. for ill.using tbc old mon in that manner, observing to him, " that's not the way to get your money." He expi redi in eighteen days. The evidence on the inquest was so contradictory on the part of chase aho professed to have seen the transaction, that the Foreman of the Jury expressed his suspicion that some of the witnesses bad been tampered with. The friends of the deceased banded to the Comm a.id Jury tin, dying man's statement taken eight days after eke trans:lc:ion happened, toil which was also handed to dlr. Braegiles, the Mnxi%teite of Worsbip-street, on the hiveseigation tzhich tout ease the day 'Mei, died, and which the worthy Magistrate observed, " If this statement is true, Macdonald , you are a perjured man, then addressing ll'ilson, who was in cuatudy, " Had 1 witnessed this paper or any other Alcgistrate, i should have committed you without bail or main prise for an a„.erravated case of manslaughter. I now hold yo u to ball yourself in 1001. and two sureties in 401. each, in the event of the Coroner's inquest. It came out in evidence that Mae. donald procured the deceased some spruce for the pain the de ceased complained of in his right skle, and placed him on a chair by the side of the fire. Two witnesses swore Aish never touched Wilson, and the jury, for the want of positive evidence that he came by his death by the rail, very reluctantly gave the following iertlict--" That the de. cessi.d died In consequence of breaking' four ribs, but bow or in what way they had not evidence before them to prove. Sonic of the Jury kindly presented two sovereigns to the a idow, who is 65 years of age, an invalid, much afflicted with rheuma t ic fever, and is led to tally destitute.
