A motion was made to te:tr•aiu the delverdant from ilikiag out I.\ eruition against the plaintiff for :0001. It was stated, that the late Mr. N,rman. of Upper Harley street, had given the defendant a bond for sonni. revertin4, as a consideration of the affection owl regard for hint, as hi: cousin and relative. The existence of sorb a bond a: not mentioned daring Mr. Norman's life-time, hut on hi: (truth it was claimed of the pre• sent plaintiff, oho entertaining doubts of its authenticity, re fused to pny it. The defendant brought an ;seri against him in the Court oh King's Bench, %%Welt was Itie•d !wrote Lord 11. lenhormigh, and the plmittiff, in the action. was non-suited. lie then brought an action in the Common Pleas, in which he obtained a verdict. Measures were taking to set aide that verdict, but the plaintiff at Icw, who is only a poor %forking coachmaker, threatened in the mete time to take out MI rse•eu Lion. It was apprehended that it the money was paid to him, there would be danger of its never being recovered again, in ease it should ultimately appear lee• w as not entitled to It was therefore prayed that he might he restrained from taking r stilt his execution till the further order of the Court upon the ! subject. The Loin Cita NCF.LLOR immediately assented to the motion, and granted the injunction. Two fine whole-length portraits of the Dukes 4 Sussex and Kent, painted for the Grand Lodge of Free masons, were placed on Monday in their Hall, at the Freemasons' Tavern; that of the loyal Grand Master appears in the costume of an Highland Chief, as Earl of Invenwss. Both these pictures are highly creditable to the pencil of Sir W. Beechey. J. Mackenzie, tenant in limaklach, in 'he parish of Loch broom, vvas deprived of sight about 12 years ago, and cantinned quite blind till ahout titter weeks since; when, at the advanced age of 8.1, he of a sudden completely recovered his sight, while sitting at dinner. Tuesday morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire was discovered to have broken out hi a bed-room of the Coffee hon-e that has for many wars carried an a great trade over the Old Stock-Exchange, which is situated at the corner of said,- in..-alley, close to the north-east corner of the Royal Exclia,:ge. The tire raged with great fury, and scum communicated to every part of this very extensive building ; in which at the bottom is an Auction Mart and a large Wine Company, and above stalls the Coffeehouse and several counting houses, all of which are entirely consumed. The fre then took a direction towards Grigsby's eotteeihouse, and consumed the house that Frond between it and the old Stock-Lzehange ; but Grigsby's was saved by the exertions of tile firemen. The roofs of two houses In Swithin's-alley are also burnt entirely of; but the lower part, wind , are shops, are eared 'the property lost is supposed to be very considerable. We arc sorry to add, that one fireman lost his life, and a second was takeu to the hospital dangerously hurt.
