The Loan CHANCELLOR, on entering the Court, said, I beg that Registrars will not put cases into the paper for judgment without wy directions. I find there are two put into the paper this morning for judgment, although I made no order to such effect. I said Saturday ,tvi Monday. The consequence of this is, that I see parties are brought here, no doubt inconveniently as well as unnecessarily, because I am not prepared to dispose of those cases. PAGE r. 11100114 This care stood next in the paper to the judgments on exceptions, and they having been passed over, Page v. Broom was called on by the Registrar. Mr Peevs was ready to oppose the exceptions. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WeII, will you go on ? Mr. Pseys.—lt is for the other side to go on, my Lord. The LORD Cuaxcessoa.—But there is no other side here.— ( A pause.)—l must strike it out lam afraid. Mr. ParT9.--If your Lordships deals with it at all, we must take the order, overr uling the exceptions. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—The other side ought to be heard. I cannot sit all day doing nothing. It is very hard on me. Mr. parrs—lt is probable that the two judgments having been put .4t the head of the paper that has been delivered out, may have induced ge:,tletnen to think this case would not be called on so soon as it has been. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Oh, so it may; then we will take the next case. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JAN. 21. DAY AND MARTIN'S BLACKING—INJUNCTION. DAT AND MARTIN V. BILLING. The SOLICIT OR-GgN TAAL. at the sitting of the Court this morn ing, applied for an injunction to restrain the defendant Billing, a printer in Bermondsey, from printing counterfeit or colourable labels, in imita tion of those used by the plaintiffs on their blacking bottles. The bill and affidavits set out the labels of the plaintiffs, which went into a long detail of the excellent qualities of the blacking manufactured by the plaintiff's, and also the labels printed by the defendant, the only dif ference in which was, that the plaintiffs' labels stated the blacking to be manufactured " by" Day and Martin, while those of the defendant stated the blacking to be " equal to" Day and Martin—die words " equal to" being written in such small letters as to be entirely unper ceived by the casual observer. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after the labels bad been handed to his Honour, observed that there was some slight distinction, but, prime facie, he could entertain no doubt that people would take one foe the other. The Soracrroa-Gaxtnet. said that such labels as those which had been printed by the defendant would deceive half the lawyers in the kingdom. The VICE-CHANCELLOR —Aye, and all the shoe-blacks. Take your Injunction, Mr. Solicitor.—lnjunction granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wurignisiss, JAIL 21. At the sitting of the Court, this morning, Lord Tenterden pro. pounced judgment in the following cases : DON DIN. OF THD BISHOP Or ROCHRSTIR V. DIARSNAIL This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron, and the qua. tion to be decided was, whether or not a lease granted by a predecessor of the present Bishop, in the year 1794, to some part of the family of Lord Romney, was or was not a valid lease. The verdict was in favour of the plaintiff; which verdict the Court this morning affirmed. DUKE OF BRIDOEWATER'S CANAL. THE LINO V. TRAFFORD AND OTHERS. The defendants in this case, several in number, had been convicted of a nuisance in having made several erections on the banks of the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal, and thereby causing an obstruction to the navigation. Against this conviction they appealed to this Court. On the hearing of which a great number of legal objections were raised, and the Court took time to consider its judgment. Lord TExTenvitst this morning, after going into a full detail of the objections, said the Court sex of opinion that the conviction was good, for no ordinary course of water could be impeded by one party to the injury of another, judgment must therefore be for the Crown. BOOTH V. stacrant.awa. The plaintiff sought to recover double rent from a tenant for a term after the tenant had given up possession of the premises. It appeared that due notice had been given to the tenant to quit, and not having done so, the landlord claimed double rent for the time he temalned after the expiration of the notice. In addition to this he insisted upon double rent for a long period after the tenant quitted, on the ground that he had received no notice of the tenant's intention to give up pos session after the double rent commenced. The point having been reserved for the consideration of the Court, Air. Pollock this day contended that the defendant continued in the character of tenant after the commencement of double rent. and that he was bound to give notice of his intention to quit as in the firstinatance; in short, that he had renewed his tenancy at • double rent. Lord TENTERDBM said, the words of the Act of Parliament de clared that the tenant should pay double rent whilst he remained in possession of the premises after the expiration of the notice to quit. The Act did not extend to any period beyond the possession. Mr. POLLOCK mid, in a legal sense, the defendant might be taken to be in possession whilst he remained on the premises, and be was to be considered a tenant until he gave a regular notice to quit. The Court held that double rent could not be claimed for any time after the defendant gave up possession of the premises. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAw. 21. (Sittings in Banco.) DOB V. LUDLOW. Sir. Sergeant WILDE, on the part of the plaintiff, stated that this was a special argument, arising out of • point which had been reserved at the trial. The fact was as follows:—A testator had devised a part of his copyhold estate to a female relative for her life, and after her death to go to the plaintiff, with the rest of his real and personal estate. The question for the consideration of the Court was, whether, as the testator had specially mentioned in his will only a pan of his copyhold property, the words " the residue of the whole of my real and personal estate," were sufficient, in that general construction of them, to give the plaintiff a claim on the whole of the copyhold lands and tenements, which had been possessed by the testator. The Learned Counsel argued that they were quite sufficient to show the intention of the devisor. Mr. Sergeant Scatwzw, on the contrary, held, that as only part of the copyhold had been mentioned in the will, and the other omitted, the plaintiff could not claim the whole of the estate, particularly as no sur render had been made. The opinion of the Court was, that the surrender to the uses of the will was not necessary, since the passing of the 55th of Geo. 111. and the general terms of the will were sufficient to give the plaintiff a right to the whole residue of the property. COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Jew. 21. (Before Sir C. Rostwsox, assisted by two Masters of the Trinity. House.) SALVAGE. THE CITY OF EDINBURGH STEAMER. This was a case of salvage. The suit was at the instance of some fisher men of the port of Blakeney, against the owners of the above vessel, said, with her cargo, to be worth 33,0001. to recover, by a decree of this Court, such salvage as the Court might consider them entitled to receive. The case of the salvors was, that on 13th Jan. last the vessel above-mentionsd was seen approaching the port of Blakeney in great distress, and vary rough weather. She had on board about 180 passengers, had lost bee best bower anchor and cable, and both her machines disabled. She was coming in shore and in such • course that she must inevitably have been wrecked hail it not been for Baynes, one of the salvors, who by waving his jacket, warned her off She then stood out to sea, and was for some time lost sight of in a shower of snow. At night she was seen, however, at anchor with blue lights and other signals of dis tress hung out. That on the next morning the vessel was so strained that she might be seen through in the machine-room, as the weather still continued so violent that the salvors were prevented from rem . ing the vessel, by certain destruction being inevitable. The wind, however, abating on the 15th, the salvors put off, and reached the ves sel just as Captain Fraser, the master, was preparing to run her on shore. They further alleged, that on their bearding, the Captain told them that if they would get the vessel into the harbour he would re. ward them handsomely, as she contained the value of 33,0001. They sounded the bar of the harbour, and at length got the vessel in. The owners contended that the signals which the salvors thought signals of distress were merely for a pilot, being those usually made for that pur pose; but that although the weather was not so bad as to prevent mari ners from reaching the vessel, the salvors prevented some sailors doing so who had volunteered to go in the life boat ; that the salvors had said it was not worth their while to go as pilots except to signals of distress, and that the owners had &heady offered the salvors more than the usual pay for pilots. Dr. ADDAMS having been heard in favour of the salvors, and the Kiwo's ADVOCATE and Dr. Put Lsiseoas in favour of the owners, Sit C. Ronixsow gave judgment. The case turned upon these two questions :—Was it possible, on the 13th and 14th, for the salvors to go tato the vessel ? Was any danger incurred by them on the 15th, so as to entitle them to any high remuneration ? It was upon these two points thE he should be glad to have the opinion of the two gentlemen who assisted him. (Here the two Masters gave it as their opinionythat, although there would have been difficulty and danger on the thirteenth and fourteenth in going out to the vessel, there had been on the part of the salvors a want of exertioh, and not the fair trial which, at► pilots, it was incumbent upon them to make : there had been no daqger what ever encountered on the 15th, and all the service they rendered, was as pilots.) Sir C. Robinson said be concurred in this opinion. He was against any remuneration further than for pilotage, and (without taking into consideration the charge of misconduct on the part of the boatmen, which• the owners should have brought forward mote distinctly) he should pronounce for the boatmen receiving the sum tendered to them by. the captain, without their being obliged, as they were poor men, to pay any CMGS. 7Wc! PRIMP" , ~~~ PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH ' EMPIRE. The following arrangement will henceforward be con- tinned in the STA a, and it will combine the interests of the unitedikingdom in one focus. Public attention is invited in this manner, and ase to arrangement adopted, in the confidence that so useful a feature will recommend this Journal to preference in every place where a daily evening taper is read. In all the colonies, and in all countries where Englishmen reside, this NEWS FROM HONE will confer peculiar interest on the STAR. The circle of every six days' STAR will present a complete onne of the kin m. As an integral part of this P anorama of the mpire, the Conductors of the STAR earnestly invite original communica tions of facts, authenticated to the Conductors, by the names of the writers. At this interesting crisis, they especially invite information relative to the real state of the country— and the actual remuneration of the productive classes, both in agriculture and manufactures—and they will be happy to record instances of the lowering of rents—of modifica tions of tythes, and increase of pay ; specifying the rates and amounts--and in particular, they desire to be apprized of all cases in which parochial allowances, and the comforts of poor-houses and parish cottages have been increased. They wish to see the Press instrumental at once in making real grievances known, and in doing justice to all acts of concession and liberality. For means of doing their duty, the Conductors of the STAR appeal, therefore, to the public spirit of their Readers in every part of the empire. Editors of papers, desirous of being quoted in the STAR, are requested to transmit them ; and, in our daily references, the strictest impartiality shall be observed between conflict ing interests. 4111.11111. CARLISLE JOURNAL, JAN. B. It is a wretched fallacy to say that a repeal of the Union would be injurious to England ; we believe, on the contrary, it would be a great benefit to this country. Ireland has never paid the expense of its owe government, and it has inundated England with Its wretched pauper inhabitants —not through any fault of their own, but through our mis pvernment—and a repeal of the Union would take from us these bar. thins, and secure to Ireland a cheep government, and a happy people.

Rammuorsomns.— Os Friday night last some diabolical villains entered the church-yard, at Over Darwen, near this town, and ex humed the body of the late Mr. James Aspinall, which they succeeded in earrying off.

Their engines were to have been delivered to the railway company some months ago; but after repeated trials, being found incapable of per forming the work contracted for, very extensive alterations were made in them at Liverpool. These alterations having been completed, the engine called William the Fourth, was yesterday again brought out foe trial.

BURIN—At the adjourned Sessions, came on the trial of Joseph fia vill.who was indicted foe distributing two letters in Suadishall, Suffolk, of which the following are copies:— " Will you Farmers and Parson pay us better for our labour ? If you wont, we will put you in bodily " SWING." " 0 ye Church of Knglind Parsons, who strain at a Host and Swat low a Camel. Woe—Woe—Woe be to you! Ye shall one day have your reward.') [Not signed.] Mr. &tote stated the case to the Court and Jury ; and contended that the defendant was indictable at common law for distributing the above letters, which tended to disturb the peace, and called the following witnesses ; Elisabeth Ray—l live at Sandishall. On the 16th December last I saw the defendant, who was riding in a gig. I perceived he had • paper in his band. I cannot say whether he saw me ; but he might have done, as I was in the garden close by him. It was about ten o'clock in the morning. I saw him throws piece of paper on the road. I picked It up, and found two pieces of paper. [Here witness produced the above letters, which she stated were the papers she picked up.] I gave the papers to my husband. I know the defendant. hir. Ray (husband of last witness) also swore to the letters. Mr. Brown stated that he, with the assistance of the constables, took the defendant into custody, and found pieces of torn paper upon him. Mr. Gunning addressed the Court. and contended that the case ought not to go to the Jury, as it was clearly not within any of the statutes for sending threatening letters, inasmuch as the letters were directed to no one, and contained no threatening to burn, to injure, or to extort money. He also contended, that the defendant was not in. actable at the common law, and cited a variety of authorities in sup port •f his arguments Mr. Amon, who was also counsel for the defendant, in a most able i, and eloquent manner addressed the Court, In a speech upwards of an hour's length, and contended that there was no case for the Jury ; lst, On the ground that there was no actual offence, and no attempt to commit an offence cognisable at law ;--that there was no calling orie l the labourers;—no exhortation to riot ;—and no excitement to crime : nor was there that vicious intention, without which the act was not' criminal; and he went fully into the law of misdemeamur, and ex amined all the authorities respecting it. 2nd. He contended that even if it was an offence, the indictment was bad in the statement of the inducement, and in its inuendos, 3rd. That the papers were set forth incorrectly in the indictment. The Court over-ruled the objections, and left the defendant to bring the flatten of law before the King's Bench, If he thought proper. Mr Gummi then addressed the Jury, and went into a full state ment of the circumstances, and explanation of the letters, together with the meaning of the term Swing," and said there was no evi dence of a malicious intention, nor did the defendant intend any mis chief, however mistake. he might have acted. Several witnesses were called to speak to the defendant's character, some of whom had known him for upwards of thirty years. The Court summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty—but, front the respectabili y of his character, recommended him to mercy. The Court sentenced the defendant to twelve months' imprisonment, and a Sue of 501. Mr. SaviU is, it appears, a religious enthusiast, anti when taken up. the Newspapers converted a goose into a swan, and denominated him the identical Mr. Swum. The Beetles muter Sessions commenced on Mond, before Sir Thpmas Gooch, who said, in his address to the Grand Jury, that he felt assured that all men who loved their country as be did would act at the present crisis with' firmness, in suppressing tumult and disorder whenever they show themselves ; for although be was anxious to see the poor made contented, and raised above want by their industry, be hoped that nAhing would ever be conceded to force ; and he declared ' he would rathei forfeit his life than give an atom through intimidation. The worthy Baronet said be was led to make these remarks front the case of the lye persons who stood chased with a riot at Kessingland. But the rioters alluded to by the Chairman were all acquitted.

Morris, Attorney, of No. 43,Lin orha's Inn Fields, waa brought before the sitting Magiatrate, Mr. IfitnenuLt., for an assault en the person of his dark, a respectable *king youth of 17. The young man stated that between the hours of twelve and one on Thursday, his employer, Morels, for no other provocation than a mere verbal error, struck him twice in the face, that once before he had struck him, but not so violently, and that he constantly insulted him with the most brutal language. The witnesses called on corroborated the youth's statement. A brother of the complainant's, an Irishman, being taunted by Mor ris whilst giving testimony, with the generous exclamation, " yo ur Worship, that's Irish evidence," the worthy Magistrate rahtad him, telling him that " Irish evidence was as good as English or any other evidence." Morris, having called his only witness, a mere lad, and having, in his defence, aggravated rather than extenuated the complaint, the ex. cellent Magistrate, after a severe and eloquent animadversion against those private tyrants who take punishment into their own hands, after, in the most fatherly manner, telling the youthful complainant that he was convinced of the honesty, fairness, and forbearance aids conduct, ordered Morris to find bail, to answer for the insult at the next Sessitios. MAlLlolaaall•tratitS.—MADAlll 74111.—A young an was brought in custody to this office a few days ago, charged with stealing and disposing of, on his own account, sod for his own use, the casts of several figures in plaster of Paris, and other compositions, the property of Mr. Papers, the celebrated Italian modeller, In whose service the prisoner lived as a pmreeyman ; and the offence charged being clearly supported by evidence, the young man was fully commit. ted to Ncwgate, to take his trial for the felony. Yesterday, Mr. Papers applied again to the sitting magistrate, for advice bow to act in a case in which he had to charge the young man In prison with an offence of a much more enormous nature than that for which he had been committed to take his trial. Since the investigatiou of the former use, Mr. Papers said, he had discovered that several of " Madame Vestris's legs ' were exhibited for sale in the shop windows of various artists about town, and on an inspection of these legs, he immediately recognized them as his pro. perty, and that they must have been stolen from his premises by the prisoner, sod sold by him. The magistrate inquired what sort of legs they were? Mr. Papera said, that they were caned Madame Vestries leg to a little above the knee, and including the foot. The magistrate asked if such casts could not have been made by other artists, so as to render It difficult fur Mr. Papers to identify them as belonging to trim? Mr. Papers said, that it was impossible these eases could have ben made by any other artist, because be was the only person to wham Madame Vestris bad ever "stood" to have a east taken of her kg, and from that cast he bad made one mould or model, and only one, and that was always kept with the greatest care under lock and key, except when required to be used in his model-roam, so that no person could possibly obtain access to it except some one in his employ ; and as for any attempt at imitation, that was impossible to do with suc cess, for so beautiful and perfect was the symmetry of the original. that it was treat it alone the various natural niceties of the complete whole could be acquired, sad to perfectioo feinted. The Magistrate asked Mr. Papers if he kept these legs ready made in his establishment, and if in that state they were steles by the prisoner ? Mr. Papers said no, they were too rare and valuable an article to be kept ready made in the ordinary way of common shop-legs, and were only made "to order"—that ie, when especially ordered by ar tists or amateurs ; and the only way in which the primmer could have got hold of them was in private—that is, by taking an opportunity in secret of making a pair for birnseirfrom the mould, and carrying them off ekndestinely. T he re could be no doubt, Mr. Papers said, that the wee the person who had caused the distukbeti actteres r: l sM ar be exposed in this Ameba manlier; because the persons who had purchased them described the young man who bad sold them the legs, and that description exactly answered the prisoner. The Magistrate asked if the legs bad been sold muds under their value ? Mr. Papers said no, they had oft, for this ream, that such a leg was always certain to fetch a high price In the market; and bead.., the legs of this lady were in very gnat demand. for a vast cumber of gen tlemen (and these were chiefly the purchasers) not wishing to separate the right the from the left, generally purchased the per, Do that both legs usually went together to the same customer. The Magistrate said, that as the prisoner was already committed to take his trial for the first offence, the present charge, however heinous, could not now be proceeded in, but Mr. Papers might, if he pleased. put 1 ' Madame Vestries legs" in the indictment under a fresh meet. and then probably the prisoner would not be suffered to walk off with out some pimishment ea this charge as well as the other. Mr. Papers thanked the Magistrate he his advice, and said that he should adept the suggestion, by Introducing the legs at the foot of the indictment ; but be requested to know if it would be neomeary to pro duce the legs before the gentlemen of the Grand Jury. The Magistrate said that it eartaisly would , and before the Judge at the trial also, as be, Mr. Papers. would be required to identify them. Mr. P ape rs said that be could very easily identify the mind so could several other witnesses • but bow was be tort the legs foto Court? The Magistrate said:that it would only be mammary to subparts the proem panelist of the lege to produce them at the trial, and then any one who hem theta might identify them. Mr. Papers said be should pursue this course with the legs, and thee stepped out of the office. Limon gala..—Yestaday, a tradesman, accompanied by • Sole boy, came to the Office in the course of the day, ea said that, as the latter was pasting High-street that day, he picked up a 101. note, and took it into the applicant's shop, and inquired if It belonged to any of the family, having found it opposite the house. The note had evi deatly been dropped by some stranger in pawing along, and applicant, unwilling to restore it to the boy, considered it the most proper mode to bring it to this Office, in the event of the owner making application tor it. The magistrate advised the applicant to advertise the note, and if no owner came forward to claim it, then the boy who found it in the street was entitled to have it restored to him. The applicant said that he should follow the magistrate's ativ:ce, merely deducting the charge of the advertimment hoe the note.
