The Court was immensely crowded this.day. under the idea that the Lord Chancell,r would have given Judgment in the above cause. On taking► his seat. the LORD CHANCELLOn ex?eessed a doubt as to whether it would not be necessary that Mr. Harris should he served. Mr. DART said several attempts had been made to serve that Gentleman. but they had all proved abortive. Mr. Maw) said, Mr. Harris might appear wititont being 'served ; but, for soma reason, the other side would nut do so. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—WiII you tell me where he is to be found. Mr. CONST said he had 'seen Mr. Harris . , who had no wish to appear ; hut if he was wanted, he could very easily he found. In fart be bad nut instructed Counsd, nor did he mean to do so. Mr. HaALD.—We do not appear here for Mr. Harris, but for the Lessees; and it is considered that their interest will he affected by his appearance. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—If Mr. Harris is in Court, and will tell me that he dors appear, that will do.

LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. PLAN OF MUTUAL INSTRUCTION. The Secretary pro tenspore of the London Meehonips' Insiitution has announced that a cosine of Lectures is about to he delivered to the Menshers of Me Society ; lint the Committee, not being in a condition to forn't mentor' , Schools, contemplated in Art, Gilt of tliis/Viless and Orders, have, as a preparatory step. adopted the fol lowing plan, in order the more readily to inenlcate the first principles of those sciences which are to be the sub ject of the coasting Lectures. Ten Members have agreed to meet one evening in the week, and earls of these is to receive, for one hour, on some other evening, at hie house, a class of live, or more Members. _ Each Member admitted into a class, agrees to receive at his house, five, or more Members, and thus in succes sion ; tent as every Member may not have an opportunity of receiving a class at his house. or may be as , le to receive only a smaller number, this will nut prevent li;in taking advantage of the plan. Every member on sending his name to the Cotnrnittee, i s d es ired to state particularly what two evenings in the week are most convenient to him to atteied, and to receive a class, and what hunts suit him h.st. The Institntion is confined entirely to Mathematical scirnce beginning with its first principlei. The Committee will arrange the classes on as to fit, as nearly as possible, the convenience of each tit-mber. This is all the notice which the Secretary has given of the pian. the idea, we understand, was suggest.il by W. Frentl,Esq. the:scientific Actuary of the Rock Insurance Office, who, from his desire to countenance and diffuse useful huouledge, bei•aute a member of the Mechanics' Institution, and hail been chosen one of the Committee. On his first suggestion of the plan, it wag eagerly embrac ed by the members present in the Committee. The first meeting was proposed to be held at his house ; and more candidates presented themselves for admission to these cl . tit tn was consistent whit the limit prescribed. be course of in•truction thus commencing with the very able and zealous author of tl‘e plan, has the sure st prosixet of success ; and by Nlr. T'rend's condescension and skill in secotninodating the elements of abstract science to the ca pacities of operative IlleD of intelligence and p.srseverance,a set of teachers, we have no doubt, will be raised up, who will be eminently useful in conveying to others the lights they front time t,: time receive, cud who will render more exact, and make the snore their own, the learning they endeavour to communicate.

An unlucky disappointment occurred at Tideswell, in this county, on Monday list, to a parry of friends and re lations who, with all due respect, Ilan been incited to par ripitate in these erj .ymen.s generally attendant on the union of a loving and deserving couple at the altar of . Hymen. The party, which consisted of about thirty, waited a short time the appearance of the lovely bride, for the purpose of escorting her and the happy man to church, and her non-appearance naturally induced a belief that the delay was only occasioned by her anxiety to render herself on this occasion as bewitching as possible by some extra trouble at the toilet ; but alas ! holy vain the hope, how great the disappointment? for instead of an introduction to the blushing bride in all her gay attire and innocent loveliness, judge, reader, the surprise of the goodly com pany on being presented with a thumping boy, the fruits of their momentary staL, which she had been safely deli vered of Guardian.)

The facts are ri presenter; to he simply these :—The fa mily of the deceased, desirous that prayers should be read at the 'joie of the interment. applied (a few flays previous to the funeral) to the Incumbent of the Parish, as a In utter of courtesy, requesting his attendance ; aloi persuiasion for a Dissenting Clergyut in to perform the service. The Incumbent, two flays previous to the funeral, ac quainted the Bishop ofl/own with this retries!, who stated that it was contrary to the rid:trick, that aoy person, not a Clergyman of the Established Church, shookd read prayers within the precincts of the Church or Church-yirtl.— Therefore he bad not authority to grant the indulgence asked for. It was then immediately determined by the family of the deceased, that the funeral service should be performed in the Dissenting Meeting Howie of Holywood ; after which, the body was deposited in the Vault in the Chnrcli-yard, without further ceremony.
