LAW INTFLUGENCE. SWAT OF ICINOB BENCH, THiRSD►T, APRIL 21. In Banco. v. PUTSIC. 101 a wee an action t7recOVertheajorunt of a bill of exchange, e. +thigh was tried before the Lard Chief. ustice, at the Sittings 1, ,onsion, after Hilary Term.—Verdict—for the plaintiff. ftl. P. Po v.i.oex now moved for a rule to show cause. ahy this nnikt should not be set aside, and a consult entered, on the ground !,et the indorsement was in pencil. There was no case exactly in pdne, bat the Leagued Counsel contended, that writing in pencil field not be a legal writing, inasmuch as it would be at the mercy of every p_ersou wine bad a piece of Indian rubber. He read enteral prinages hoot Coke on the requisites of a died, such as that the writing must be ton parchment or paper, and not on wood or linen, than it voila be liable to memo. 'The same reasoning which Te da:red that th:t material of a deed should he of a permanent and atable nature, 'would surely apply to the writing. It was some thing to say that this was the first time this question hail ever been raised in a Court of Law; but he understood from his Learned Friend Mr. Jeremy, that a similar question had recently presented itself to the lecelmiestical Courts, on the codicil to a will. and that it had been there held that writing in pencil was only deliberative, and not final. These was another question which he would submit to their Lordships, was a writing in pencil a Writing according to the custom of merchants? On the whole, he contended that these • was enfiicient ground to render farther discussion necessary. LOAD CAIET ) 03T IC 2—Take II rule. This was an action tried at the last Assizes, before Mr. Justice litilroyd, to recover the sum of 10L, which had been deposited in the hands of the defendant by the plaintiff, on a wager with a third person respecting the issue of a hone race, in which the plaintiff obtained a verdict. Mr. PATTI:I9OH moved for a rule Nisi to set aside the verdict, and enter a nonsuit. lie contended that the bet was illve.J, and that the action ought not therefore to have been tried at all. The plaintiff, at the trial, endeavoured to prove that he had demanded the money back before the race took place. The defender.% how ever. was prepared to show, that the race itself was an illegal race, tut this we were peeverited horn going into Dv the Learned Judge. In the case of Brown v. Easton, 2 Vacksione, and of a case in 2 Campb. 4RO, the Judge refused to try a gelation of this descrip tilt,. on the wound that the wager was illegal, and that the plain tiff had no right of sedan. What he submitted, therefore, was, that if it be proper not to allow the plaintiff to try actions of this kind, it was not a matter of discretion with the Judge that he should or should not do so; but the Judge was bound to refuse to try the question at all. ''The Loan Curer JCSTICE—Befure we grant a rule to show cause for so small a sum, we should wish you jo consult with the tithe parties. Mr. Justice BATLET—Where the Judge thinks tit to try the rinse. if the result be the legal result, I think there is no cause bra motion, on the ground that he has no discretion. But I hope tat the Judge may be allowed to exercise a discretion in these EINA, for if they were not, than on the last Circuit I sinned in two iestaofes; for there I refused to try two causes, because I thought the brts were of too frivolous a nature to occupy the time of the roust. In the present case, I think the Learned Judge had a rig:u to let the cause be tried. Mr. Justice ticit-novn—ln this case the plaintiff founded his right to recover back his money upon the ground that he demanded it be•lre it was lost. Looking into the authorities, it seems to me I'm the wirer was a void wager, and that in that case the plaintiff' was enti.led to recover back again. M. PaTrr VION—I will mention the matter to the Counsel on the wiler side. if your Lordship please, and if he refuses to come to terms I w , !l mention it to the Court ngsin. e Loan CHIEF .IIISTICE—Let it be so. PRO2ENT, EXECUTRIX, &C. V. GEORGE AND OTHERS. This was an action tried before 111 r. Justice Littledate, at the 'aft Slirewsbuay Assizes, in which the plaintif f obtained a verdict ter 10/ Alt. LUDLOW said, the plaintiff was the executrix of Mr. Pro bra. who in his life time entered into a contract with the defend arts. rim were manufacturers of zinc, to exchange a quantity of tai-.era ore, called black jack. which was used in the menufactur. Sag oi one, for a certain number of sheets of zinc, to be delivered to the teatator, as soon as the black jack was used. The defendants not having peeorreed their contract, the action wan brought by the executrix to recover the amount of the black jack. The defendant pleated the general isue, and also that the cause of action did not oceror vitlain six years. The Learned Counsel DON moved for a rule to ~brow cause why the aersitet obtained by the plaintiff should rot be sat aside. and a nonsuit entered. upon the ground that the cause of action did not Paige within six years. The contract and delivery of the black jack wu so fn back as 1812 ; and it was proved at the trial that the black jack had been seen on the remises of the defendants in a state of calcination (which was the brat pro cess to: making zinc) before the dcath of the testator, which happened in 1818, sod more than six yeasts before the action was commented, and that a reasonable time had elapsed in his life time Mr the defendant's using the whole of it, except what was not tit to be used. That reasonable time having thus elapsed in the Lim! of the testator, he submitted that the breach of the contract arcs his hie time—if so, ate statute barred the present plaintiff. Toe defeadatits were not required to supply the zinc to the testator, which was to be made out of the black jack debarred by him. By the COURT—BID is the fact of the black jack being put into a lute of ce:enatioo, • " using" according to the terms of the cootra ct ? Mt. LUDLOW conceived it was. No question arose on that point at the trial ; it was quite understood by all parties, that as soon as the black jack was made into calx, the defendant's were liable to the testator, so that it became the duty of the testator to inform himself wires bin right accrued. Lo ID CHLET Ju ss xcE--Tske a Rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, THURSDAY, APRIL - 9 1. ROWLEY v. DOME. Mr. Sergeant Vauottayr moved for a rule to show cause why a hew trial should not be granted in this use, and the verdict set aside. Tice action was tried befo; e 31r.

POLICE. BOW.STREET. - t Colonel Woodbury appeared on a warn* , charging him with assaulting a porta iu the employ of a shoemaker, in Princes street, Leiceeter.square. The complainant stated, that a few days back he waited on the Colonel at the Prince of Wales Hotel, in Le .Weter-equare, with a pair of boots that be bad ordered. He was shown up to the Colo eel's room, and on tapping for admission, was desired by the Colo. nel to walk in. He, however, had no sooner lo dace , than th e Colonel, without any P roetseasien, tame up to him and struck him down, and then dragged him out of the room. The Colonel, in reply, said, that the fellow entered his room without his desire or bowledige ; olbnded at his intrusion, he ordered him out, and as be showed some reluctance in obeying this mandate, he gave him a posh, and a struggle ensued, in which he wan forced down. The complainant denied that he was desired to withdraw. and said that the Colonel struck him, without any intimation of the why or wherefore. R. Br an tit said, that as the couplet:ant had sworn positively to the assault, and u the Colonel was not prepared with evidence to rebut it, he had no alternative but to call on him to find surety for his appearance to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the Sessions ; his own reeognizancee, however, would be sufficient. Mr. Bunt, the proprietor of the Cannon pabbe-house, in Uungerfoni-street, appeared to a charge of assaulting a wooden. legged pensioner of Chelsea hospital, who stated that on Sunday he went to the house in question, and while sitting in the tap-room, was attacked and cruelly ill-treated by the defe nd ant and two other men, whom he did not know. In reply, the defendant stated, that the complains* wit in. debted to him for three months' lodging, which he had agreed to do him when he received his pension; instead, however, of so doing, he hid ever since been keeping himself in a most glorious state of intoxication. In this condition on Sunday he entered his house, and called fur some beer, but be refused to draw him any, and he then went into the tap-room, where he made free with the beer belonging to 'some coal-beavers who were there sitting, and who resented the liberty by the assault of whieh he was now corn. ! piaining. Defendant interfered and turned him out of the house. Sir R. Buture asked the complainant if it were true that be owed Mr. Hunt for lodging ? ' The complainant said it was. " And so, ' said Sir RICHARD, " you pay the debt with a war rant I" The complainant made no reply, and Sir RICHARD dismissed the complainant. WORSIIIP-STREET. Wilfred Barnett, a Jew of rather prepossessing appearance, seemingly not more than Ili years of age, was brought before Mr. EE, NITT, for final examination, on two charges of robbery. The tinit charge was for stealing . a gold watch and appendages, from the house of Mr. Setigwick, in Ivory-grove, Islington. The next case against the prisoner was for stealing seven silver table spoons, the property of Mr. Cater, of Park-place, Back-road, Islington. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on each of these charges. EXTENSIVE FIRES. Yesterday morning, about two o'clock. an alarming fire cont. menerd at Ale. Norton's, the Flying Horse, Blackman-street, Borough. The whole of the premises, which are very extensive, were completely destroyed. Great fears were entertained for the adjoinirg premises; but there being a plentiful supply of water, and a great number of engines, the destruction was confined to the premixes where it commenced. We have not heard that any acci dent happened. The number of thieves present exceeded all pre. cadent ; but the police and the watchmen were on the alert, and took them by gangs, and conveyed them to the watchhouses and other places of security. While the fire was raging there, another more extensive and alarming commenced near Fetter-lane, Holborn, about half-past two o'clock. It was first discovered at the house of Mr. Davis, perfumer and hair-dresser. Most of the engines being in the Borough, it was a considerable time before the firemen were in at tendance with them, and Mr. Davis's premises, with every thing they contained, were destroyed. The fire had also communicated to the next door, Mr. Harwood's, turner, and to Mr. Speatswill'a clothes-warehouse. The former was wholly destroyed ; the latter partly so. Eastward the flames extended to Mr. Gres 's , seeds. man, and to Mr. Pratt's, trunk-maker , both of which are also destroyed. Between Mr. Gray's and Mr. Pratt's is King's Head court, occupied by working p eop le, most of whom have large fami lies. There was the greatest aLarm, and women and children were seen running in every direction seeking refuge. Fortunately there was but little wind, or in all probability the destruction would have been immense. There are only two houses destroyed, and one in. jured ; but at the back of the houses in Holborn most of the pre. miser are partly burnt. During the fire, a daughter of Mr. Har wood, about twelve years old, was missing, but was afterwards found. We regret to state that one of the firemen, William Mead, who is foreman to the Hope fire-office, is most seriously injured by the falling out of the front of Mr. Days's premises. When taken up it was thought he was dead. He was immediately conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was found that he had several contusions on the head, and his thigh was broken in two places. One or two others received some trifling injuries from the falling of the rubbish, but not of consequence. When the engines arrived there was a good stipple of water; and at about fire o'clock the further progress of the flames was stayed. A tataStltin FlRE.—Yesterday morning; between one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in the top flat of a house six stories high, In Milne's-court, Lawnmarket. The alarm which this occasioned was dreadful. It was an old house, surrounded on all sides with buildings of a similar desc:iption, and, from the narrow and wind ing stair, the inhabitants of the burning tenement were able to save very little of their furniture, and some of them had barely time to clothe themselves before they were forced to escape for their lives. The devastation was checked about seven in the morning, after the thne upper floors were consumed ; but partly from fire and rater, and trim falling floors, the whole tenement is a ruin. The engines continued to play upon the smoultlerinvuins till three o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr. Sheriff' Duff and Dean of Guild Waugh were early on the spot, giving directions ; and we ob served aloe the Earl of Fite, and Sir William Elliot, Bart.— Edinburgh Paper qf Monday. This morning, at two o'clock, a fire broke out in the workshop of Mr. Pinney, 'venetian blind manufacturer , &c., situate in Spt taillelds, in thz.mar of his premises in %V hitechapel. By $ o'clock the whole of the interior of the building was destroyed, and the &tries threatened to extend to the adjoining houses, which are in habited by poor families, who were endeavouring, almost in a state of nudity, to save their scanty furniture. The tire was subdued, after burning fiercely for upwards of an hour before any water could be promred from the public trains in the adjoining streets.— Liverpool Paper of Wednesdly. _ _ . • • On Sunday last the Iphigenia sailod from Liverpool, with upwards of 100 artisans,for Buenos Ayres. The packet-ship Florida, Tinkham, sailed for New York on Sunday last. She had a great number of passen gers on board, among whom, we understand, were the Prussian Ambassador to the American Government, and the British Commissioners for settling the boundary be tween our possessions in North America, and the territory of the United States.—Liverpool Courier of Wednesday. The Canada brig, with forty passengers, for the Rio Plata Association's Settlement, near Buenos Ayres, cleared out of the London Docks yesterday at noon, and went down the river with a fair wind. The party seemed to be ia high spirits, and a number of persons were in waiting with their luggage, to take the chance of a vacancy occur ring. Another vessel, the Pacific, will sail from the Docks on Monday, for the same settlement, which also has her complement of passengers. COMBINATION Laws.—A meeting of delegates from the journeymen of the different trades of London, took place on Wednesday, at the Jacob's Well, Barbican, at which it was resolved to form a General Committee for watching the proceedings of the Select Committee of the House of Com 11101If ; it was also resolved, that each trade should separately petition against the re-enactment of the Combination Laws. RESPITE or Mat. SATART.—We have been informed, that in consequence of some communication on the subject of this gentleman's case, the Secretary of State on 'Wednes r day night despatched to Bristol a respite during his Ma jesty's pleasure.—lt is said that the ground on which an expectation of mercy has been indulged is, that a hope had been held out to Mr. Savary, previous to the trial, that if he should plead guilty, great exertions would be made, and 'with an expectation of probable success, to obtain a commutation of his punishment. WESLEYAN MISSIONs.—The seventh anniversary of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Branch Society for the Derbyl Circuit was held in Derby, on Monday last. It appeared front the Report which was read at the Meeting, that the number of persons to religious society in the different foreign stations is 22.029, being an increase of t 127 during the year. The number of missionaries employed is 1413, besides 21 who are engaged in presetting the Gospel to the Irish in their native language, making the total number 167.—At the Meeting in the evening a very melancholy circumstance occurred. The Rev. Mr. Tindall, of Ashby-de-IS. Zouch, rose to address the astiesnbly, and as he felt unwell re quested as much silence as possible. After addressing the Meeting for a few minutes, he was seised with a fit of apoplexy, and in s fee hours sactiangtil mortality for life. THE BRITISH PRESS. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Attracted by the great number of Stakes and Matches appointed for the day's amusement, the assemblage was greater than any other during the week, and the most sanguine expectations were more than realised, for finer sport has not been witnessed this sea son. His Royal Highness was on the course till the conclusion of the Races, and afterwards dined with the Duke of Rutland, Sirs J. Shelley and J. Byng, and a few other gentlemen , at Mr. Douglas's. In the evening his Royal llighnesa v isited the Rooms for whist. The Dukes of Rutland, Portland, and Grafton, the Marquis of Exeter, Earls Jersey, Lowther, Orford, horde G. Cavendish, Dun. vial, G. Bentinck, and most of the gentlemen whose names have appeared during the week, were also present- The Marquis of Exeter, who was very fortunate in winning all his three races, left for town, as did the Earls Lowther and Orford. The dinner at the Rooms was attended by the Duke of Portland, Lords Jersey and 0. Bentinck, General Grosvenor, Colonels Udny, Russell, and Aubrey, Messrs. Lamhton, Wortley, Greville, &c. When our express left the course, the 50/. race arid the dead heat were not decided ; we therefore present the running far them, and the other Stakes, which are of more importance, as moat of etem were keenly contested. Match for 100. First half of Ab. M. This was won by Lord Exeter's Athenian in a common canter, by two lengthe-6 to 4 on the winner. Match for 60. First half of Ab. M. 7t04 on Armida. The odds ran so high on her, in consequence of B'ildwood. being a roarer, it was thought he would have no chance; however, he agreeably deceived his friends, by winning his race in a canter by a length. eepstikes of 10 soya. each. T. Y. C. S and 6to 4 on Advance. This was a pretty run race ; when they came within the cords, Mr. Stoneliewer's I. came up and took the lend, and it was thought there that the Advance colt was going out, but from the skilful management of Robinson, who took the whip into his left hand (being on the outside ground), he prevented it by severe lashes, brought hint straight, went up, and won, like an Eclipse, by a length. Match for 200. D. M. 3tol on Spermacetti. This was one of the best contested races we have seen, either at this or the Craven Meeting, and very large sums were sported on it. Heads and tails for the last NO yards who would be the winner, when the palm was triumphantly given to Palais Royal, by half a neck. Sweepstakes of 100 each. D. M. The betting begah at 5 and 6 to 4 on Diviner, and varied to even betting on him apt the field ; then Mr. Goddard's f. came up, and a deal of money was laid between the two. Diviner then went hack to 6to 4 apt him, and even betting the other apt the field—ll to 1 apt Coma f. This was one of the most sporting races ever beheld, and was truly run between them all throughout. It was impossible to soy, during the run, which would Will, as, if they had not been running wide, a sheet would have covered the four; it at last turned out a dead hest between Lord Warwick's colt and Mr. NVortley's (The second heat below.) Sweepstakes of 100. A. F. 2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on Serab. This was an interesting race, as a keen eye was kept on Serab from his having been one of the best horses f.ir the Derby last year. Carrying light weights, Hajji Baba and Silkworm made the running to the Bushes, when Serab came up and took the lead, his stride being superior to the others. In going down hill he began to tell them out, and, having shook them off, went up and won in gallant style by half a length. The seventh race, which was not run, when our account left, was— Fifty Pounds by subscription ; for 3 yrs old, 7st. Sib ; 4 yes. Ost. 11111.; 6 yes. yet. 41b. B.C. Duke of Grafton's ch. f.

T HE COTTON IMPORTING and MANI:F.IC • Trill NG COMPANY. Capital 2,000:t0i01. in . ll' l ,ooio Shares of 2001. each. When human ingenuity has been daily exercised in forming plans for public attention, it 111 , been matter of surprise that the great staple article of Cotton Wool should have been overlooked, the weekly consumption of which is estimated at 12,000 hags, equal to about 200.000/. sterling. Large and extended as this quantity is, yet the merchants and manufacturers in the trade are decidedly of opinion that, prospec tively viewed, it is merely in its infancy. These points, combined with the overwhelming riches which have rolled in the treasuries of those occupied in this branch of commerce, are substantial grounds for inviting the attention of capi fal ist s. a:11111i tan &c. to participate in an Establishment, which, from every calculation, must yield a most anisfactory pxfit. The distinguished patronage with which many of the great landed proprietors of Ireland. and the solicitude his Majesty's Govern- ment have shown to encourage the improvement of that country, have fixed the attention of the promoters of this Company. The result of their inquiries has satisfied them that the cheapness of fuel, the low price of laud, provisions, and the reduced price of labour, must create a saving of great magnitude, as compared with Glasgow and Manchester. Every one is acrainted with the fact that the very celebrated Establishment of sew Lanark had its origin in the high rate of provisions and wages in Lancashire ; that it was fomted by a Com pany, and that it has flourished in a degree even beyond the most sanguine expectations of its projectors. Ireland presents greater advantages, inasmuch as she possesses good ports and a redundant population, whereas New Lanark was most expensively colonized. On these grounds Ireland has been selected, and the operations I of the Company will be carried on in a part of it ascertained to I be the most favourable in both a manufacturing and commercial point of view. A List of the Directors will shortly appear, comprising a portion of respectable names connected with the Sister Kingdom.

Sikes, Snaith, and Co. The late severe losses sustained by the Shipping Interest of this Kingdom, and the immense field opened to Great Britain for an extended and increasing Commerce, by the enlightened policy of our Government, have caused a corresponding and extraordinary rise in the price of Ship-building. Such, indeed, is now the demand for Vessels of an descriptions, that many Persons, desirous of employing their Capital in Ship ping, cannot be supplied by the Builders with the tonnage they require, except at very high prices, or under circumstances of delay, often defeating the more immediate purpose of their speculations. Is is therefore proposed to establish a Company, for the purpose of building Vessels in British North America, on Contract and for Sale, but it is intended, for the present, to confine the operations of the Company to Canada only. Immediate sales will be the object of the Company, but the Directors shall be empowered to employ their shipping until dis posed of, and, in case of need, to purchase wood cargoes for the purpose of loading their vessels. The various advantages to be derived by a Company, established fur the purpose of Ship-building in Canada, will not admit of detail within the limits of a Prospectus ; but it may briefly be observed, that. from practical experience, the following results may confi dently be anticipated. Ist. The employment of a numerous anti useful class of persons in the Settlement ; and by a beneficial diffusion of Capital and Labour, an increase in the national importance of the Colony. 2dly. An ample remnueration to the Proprietors—who inde. pendent of the local advantages which will attend their unilertak mg, may reasonably look to the favourable Rates of Exchange, and the Freight in their Ships consigned to this country for Sale, as sources of considerable and immediate Profit. It remains only to add, that it is intended to construct Vessels adapted for all trades and purposes, under the particular inspection of the Company's Agents, by practised Shipwrights, and with such due attention to the selection and seasoning 'of the Timber, as, it is hoped, will materially improve the character of Vessels built in Canada. The Capital of the Company is son,opoi., raised in 10,000 Shares, of 501. eacb, a portion of which will be reserved for Persons in Canada desirous of becoming Share-holders. The AtTairs of the Company to be conducted by the Board of Directors, who shall have the power of insuring their propert I and of making all necessary Regulations for the management of the Company. The property of the Company to be vested in the names of Trustees. A Deed of Settlement will be prepared tinder the ablest legal advice. and the Sharebolders will be required to sign the same. No Share shall be sold cr transferred until after the payment of all calls previously made ; and then only with the consent of two or more of the Directors. An lost:dolma of rd. per Share, o baid into the hands of the Bankers to the Company forthwith t , to e p the account of the Directors.
