ft LAW INTELLIGENCE. lAttorney-Generil obtained a rule Nisi for a new trial. In Easter Term 51r. Scarlett showed cause against the rule, and the Attor ney-Genera! was heard in reply. Mr. Nolan was to follow on the same side, but as he intimated to the Court that his arguments would necessarily occupy a great portion of their Lordship's time, he was desired to postpone his address till this term. The case being this day called on, Mr. NOLAN delivered his argument at great length in support of the rule, urging the various points that had already been put, but relying mainly on the circumstance that Lincoln's-inn was origin. all/ a religious foundation, and that according to the proper con struction of it the statute of Elisabeth could not be made applicable to such places. The COUNT said they would give their opinion on the case on a Mare day. KERING, WIDOW AND ADMINIS TS, y. GREENWOOD. This was an action by the widow and administratrix of the late Major Skirting, to recover the sum of 1161. 9s. for money had and received by the defendant for the testator's use. The cease was tried before the Lord Chief Justice at tbeSittings after Laster Tenn. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant was ap pointed by his 51ajesty'sCommiseion to be Paymaster of the Royal Artillery at %Woolwich, of which the testator was, previous to the w:,41:/17. • Captain j and from that time had been a Captain and -Major of the tame corps. lly an order made 28th July, 1797, his Itlajesty ordered that the Royal Regiment of Gunners should be placed on the same footing as the regiments of the Lied, hid that the pay of a Captain, and of a Fast and Second liabeetsesat, not holding any other :,ommission, should be one shilling per day . Another order was made in August, 1806, by which his Majesty gave to the officent' gunners of the Royal mimeos of artillery, the following additional pay, namely, to a Major Is. Ild. per day, to a Captain Is. Id. per day, and 2s. per day more to a Captain who should hold the rank of Brevet Major. There vitas • running account between the defendant end Major Skyring, in which credit was allowed to the latter for sums received en his aecount by the defendant, including the Is. Id. per day. granted by the order of 1806, to Captains, up to January 1817, and the 2s. per day additional from that time to 1021, aa rllowed by the said order for a Brevet-Major ; and upon the account there aopeared, to be a balance of 1161. 9s. due to Major Skyring. For this balance the present action was brought, when the de fendant claimed a setaiff of 1601. bs. bit. as having been given credit for by him, occasiocted by a mistaken construction of the order of INS. In support of this set-offthe defendant proved that in 1017 he received information from the Board of Ordnance that they would not allow the increased allowance of Is. Id. and of 2s. ,because it was contrary to the meaning of the order of 1896,1 and not warranted by the regulation of the Board. It did Dot, however, appear that the defendant made any communication of this to 51asor Skyring until May, 1821. The whole sum for which the defendant had given credit beyond what he was au thorized amounted to 3911. lat. 5d.; but as the Beard of Ordnance had allowed the money to the defendant up to 31st December 1816, the defendant only claimed to set off 1601. ss. sd. The Jury, upon , this evidence, and under the direction of the Learned Judge, gave a verdict for the plaintiff; his Lordship conceiving that as the de. fendast had given croilit for the money with a full knowledge of the circumstances, he was precluded from recovering it back, or mak ing any deduction from the general balance. Mr. Gurney obtained a rule last Term on behalf of the defendant, to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and anew trial had. Mr. SCARLEYT (with whom was Mr. Bingham) this day show. ed cause against the rule. The Learned Counsel contended, that if a party made a payment, with a full knowledge of all the facts, he could not recover themnney back again, because it might have happened that be dial it front an ignorance of the law. But the payment was made by the defendant, not only with a full know ledge of the facts, but with an intimation that the Board of Ord. "mince meant not fo allow it: so that the defendant was entirely con cluded by his own act. But the construction put by the dcfendent upon the order of 1797 and 1806 was the right construction; those orders only precluded persons who held two commissions from being entitled to the increased allowan e ; now Meier Skyring did not hold two comn iisions. His Ilbeing Brevet Major of Brigade was only by an appointment of the commanding offi. Ca, which was revocable at his pleasure, and leas not by com mission from his Majesty. But It appeared that the Board of Ordnance had not required the defendant to refund the money overpaid by them previous to the year 1816, and this upon the grour.d that they had rot given htm notice of their construction of the order till that time. For the very same reason, then, the de fendant ought to recover from the plaintiff, as he did not give the testator Notice until May, 1891. it would be a very great hardship against the officers of the army, If, after these payment,' had been made so long, they were to be liable to have their accounts open , again and deductions made from the sums already paid to him. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. Tindal), in reply, argued that the mistake of the defendant was a mistake in fact, and for which he might have brought his action for money he had re ceived, and not a mistake at law. The defendant had no power beyond that of paying over the money which had been previously entrusted to him. It was not his duty to put a construction upon the order, nor was it, as. the Learned Counsel on the other side seemed to think, for their Lore:Whoa to construe those orders dif. feretaly from what the Board of Ordnance had themselves done. It being then merely a mistake on the part of the defendant, and there being a running account between him and Major Skyring. he certainly had a right to correct that mistake by retaining the money he bad overpaid. The LORD CIIIE? Just ict said ft was not necessary in th'e present case, to decide whether a person, who, having rendered an account in which he had madea mistake, and acquiesced in it for a length of time, was thereby estopped by the account no rendered, because here was a particular fact in this case upon which he • bad formed his opinionat the tiin e of the trial.tand which opinion he still retained. The paymaster it seems received sums in a gensnl way on behalf of the different officers, and afterwards he rendered an account to show how he had paid it to them. Certain ordert hay ing been issued to increase the pay, the defendant conceiving those orders to be applicable to Major Skyring. placed the additional pay to the Majer's credit. In may 1821 the defendant sent the Major an account in which credit is given to him for this increase of pay, and making the balance upon the whole account to amount to 1161. 9s. in favour of the Alajor. At that time Major Skyring might have drawn a bill en the defendant for that sum, and if ac cepted by the defendant he mutt have paid it. Now, if the defen dant afterwards found he had placed the increased pay to the credit V the Major erroneously, he would then have brought his action at law to recover back this sum of 1161. thi. The question would be, could he recover it back? because if he could hot, then neither could he make ia a matter of setoff Wan action for any sums re *tired subiequeful:.^by him for theplain tiff. The principal fact in this case, upon which He had formed his opinion was this, that in 1816 the defendant was informed by the Board of Ordnance that ' they would not allow the increased payments embraced in the order of 1806, and which ha had given credit for to Major Skyring; and yet the defendant notwithstanding this information,continued to give the Major credit for them up to-the year 1821, without making any communication to him of this resolution of the Board of Ordnance. It appeared to him ass hint that it was the duty of the defendant to hare informed Major Skyring of this fact ; but he had forborrip to do so, and continued to give him credit for the increased pay. which made the case very different from that of a party's making a mistake in his account and then seeking to correct it. For by this negligence Major Skyring was suffered to go on for four years under the Idea that his income amounted to a certain sum, which it was not sought to reduce, after the Major had possibly expended the whole of the money. If the defendant was now permitted to recover, the Court would be in fact making Major Skyring of his re presentatives repay that money which the Major had expended in consequence of the neglect of the defendant. Ile therefore consi dered that justice prevented the defendant being allowed to do so, and that the plaintiff must in this action be entitled to a verdict. He hoped this decision would not work that injury to the defendant which it had been intimated by his Coonset_would be the case ; he trusted that the defendant had riot withheld this information from other officers ; but if itishould be so, why then he could only hope that Government would take the case into their consideration. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said, this appeared to him to be a hard case certainly against the defendant ; but unless he was entitled to recover the money back farm the plaintiffs, in case he had paid the whole, be could not set off the money overpaid in this action. The defendant was guilty of great neglect in not making a commu nication of the information he had received from the Board of Ord nance to Major Skyring. If he had done so, the Major might pro bably have caller applied to the Board to put a different construc tion upon the order, or to the Government for' an increased allow. ante ; or he might have reduced his expenditure accordingly. It would work an injustice to the Major or his representatives if he were to be obliged to refund the money, and as it seemed to him the defendant would not have been entitled to recover this money back, supposing it had been all paid ; so neither could helve allowed to set it off against the plaintiff's present demand. For these reasons he thought the verdict for the plaintilfought to stand. Mr. Justice HOLROYD was of the saute opinion. --..... . .• •• . 001Pinr 'op CHANCERY, FRIDAY, JUNE 10. ---- 4 1 i before the Lad Clislitilloreame into Court, - Wm Amuls Its• the efristatleisdhati et die sitting of the kfile.

THE L•WCZT, milihnierediately called on when his Lordship took his seat. 16.111otscrroa-GatirEnat rose and said, a bill had been filed tis dines* against Hutchinson Knight and Lacy which pnyed that they might be restrained fr o m pruning or publishing any lee. Ones delivered or to be delivered by the plaintiff, or from reprMting the ems. The bill stated a case which it was unnecessary for him to ewer, for it was already known to the Court. When it came an berate, the main point put was, that of literary property, and tiorpnintifra title, on the grounds of breach of trust, or cantina., was Dot particularly relied on, bet were not then entirely given up ; sip these new, however, his title was expected to be made out. Air: Abernethy was a lecturer arSL Bartholomew's Hospital, and the Ctitn who attend him, pay a fee of admission. Upon the 9th of hut, Mr. Abernethy delivered a lecture which very soon ape Pend in the Lancet, which professed to give it so accurately =deo perfectly tferboline, that the writer stated he thought he was bound to apologise to Mr. Abernethy fur publishing with so much zeal . . racy. After this poblisatian, sevend others appeared on subsequent days. Mr. Abernethy contendell - that such a publieation was an invasion of his rights as lecturer, sr as an individual. Mr. Aber. mall:1411M a person who Sled a place by right or patent, as was the case with Professors in Universities, nor did he deliver his lectures from any appeinneent consmuniaised to him through an Restitution having a corporate character, but he was appointed sur geon to the hospital, and as such, la the theatre of anatomy be longing to the hospital, was in the habit of delivering lectures to bls•papfis. In the Learned Solicitor's opinion, the distinction between private and public lecturer was immaterial. The present eplintioll involved in its principles the rights of the professors of all stir Umsersities, some of whom were appointed by charter, and sone by the Crown. He (the Solicitor-General) would now call theattansion of the Court to what was alleged in the bill, and next to the particular situation in which the defendant was placed. The Wt mated that no person had a right to attend to hear his lectures except those who paid a fee; and it was next said, no license or phiminsion had been given to any one to publish the lectures. Upon this short statement, with respect to Mr. Abernethy's station in the honied, with respect tq the nature of the lectures, and with respect 1 to the class of persons Emitted to hear the lectures, Mr. Solicitor. Gniend•consideree the facts constituted every thing necessary for the purpose. at raising the question, which was hereafter to be dn. gusted in this case. Another circumstance, however, 'was material to be mentioned, because it was supposed, on the former °ea/skill, that this was not sufficiently adverted to, namely, that the gentle men publishing the lectures were not pupils of Mr. Abernethy-- they litre respectable gentlemen, publishing periodical works in the Strand, but entire strangers in Mr. Abernethy's theatre, Month inr • means of paying the fee they got into his room, bee still they could only be considered appearing there as editor and publishers ; they could not constitute the relationship that existed between 'papa and professor, or schoolmaster and scholar. The great question here was, whether the right of pub lishing these lectures without permission or license, could, in law or hi equity, he established to be in the defendants? Now the gonads CM which the Learned Gentleman meant to contend that Air. A. was entitled to the judgment of the Court in his favour, trorethtte...finit, that the lecturer had a literary property in his lecture i•aecondly, that he had a right to restrain publication upon the ground of contract ; and thirdly, that lie had a right to the in. islaCdetta Upon the ground of trust. The result of the Court's judg. ment when the application was made before was, that the point of • title in literary property in such a case as this, had not been sue. dewily decided at law to warrant this Court's interference by in.. junction, and consequently his Lordship thought it would be well (if it Could be done) to have the ease argued on die ground of brach of trust or contract. To prove this, there must be an in_ 'Airy or a wrong proved,•which there would be no diffiailty in doing. In Me present case ; and, for the purpose of illustration, it would ha necessary for him briefly to go back to the principles upon which the Court .acts with respect to literary property ; and upon this point he begged to cite the case of " Miller v. Taylor," to show Mr. A. had a title in his lectures, such as could restrain the de fendants frets publishing. Cron the other two points he referred to the cases of " Pope v. Curl," Lord Clarendmi's History of glsarks 11. ; Lord Chesterfield's Letters, and also Al• Lean's case. • ne Learned Counsel would admit that the short-hand writer, as • pupil, night, with a vicious accuracy, he (the Attorney-Gene- nil) would say, take down even the very peculiarities of the let- ha M, as the Editor in the present case stated he really had to apologias to Mr. A. for having done ; but then the Editor would nave to go a great deal. farther ; he, or the short-hand writer Would have to satisfy the Court, that he had a right at law to publish those notes and peculiarities, for the purpose of making a profit. He would also allude to the Drury-lane Theatre ease, re spftting the publication of the farce of Low-a-la-mode. An indi. stidoal might pay a shilling to get into the gallery of one of the theatre*, and have a short-hand writer, who might take down the whole dialogue that passed on the stage, but the individual in the (ciliary would be told by the managers, though he had pail his shil. Log for hearing and seeing the play, and though he might even -hale the short-hand notes transcribed for his own instruction, which he ?eight be anxious to have, particularly if the subject. vas some thgeij a the nature of Loye-a-10-rriode (a laugh), yet that he should AM at liberty to send forth to the world a printed orrbot;m state tof what had been said. If this were not so, the gentlemen on Vroother side would even have to go the length of arguing, that a person going into the gallery of the Royal Academy, who paid a / shilling for doings*, bad a right to make a sketch of the best pia Core he there saw, and afterwards to publish an engraving of it, which, in his (Solicitor-General's) opinion, would be an argument thr too absurd to think of sustaining. Ile would instance another min by way of further illustration, which was, that a medical sou. dent might inform the public how many grains of one sort of medi. rine, and how many grains of anothcr, ought to be mixed up for the purpose of relieving a patient from a certain complaint, bat than the student could never be permitted to publish a table of the entire mole in which Ms professor made up all his medicines. Here a case might be mentioned which could not be thought entirely in apposite, for it regarded the mixing of medicine, and which sup. ported the present argument, it wa : the case of Yenvert v. Wyn yard, reported in Ist Jacob and Walker, p. 324. Mr. Solicitor- General would also allude to the case of Dr. Ilard's sermons, as well as to Blackstone's Commentaries, and many others. It might be said on the other side, that Mr. Abernethy did not delticr his lectures from writing, but that could only be considered a flimsy statement, because there really was no substantial difference between a lecture or sermon, orally or front manuscript, unless it wee, that if it were delivered from manuscript it would be more easily identified, but here there could be no doubt upon the ques tion of identity. And if the doctrine on the other side were to hold, Mr. Irving, the celebrated preacher, had no copy right in his ser mons, because he did not deliver them from writing. Upon the whole, he (the Solicitor-General) felt that great injustice would take place, and great loss, both to literary men and to the public., would he sustained, if the law were now to be decided contrary to What Ale A. contended for. Here, upon the principles of " Miller is. Waylor," there was a literary property; there could be no dies. test:Sion between this case and the case of letters, therefore it would have to be looked upon as a case of trust; and every principal coned. Luting cases of assumpsit and contract would be inundated, if this were not to be called a case of contract in point of law. Here the pupil purchased, by the payment of his fee, the advantage of hear. fog the lectures deliver ed and of taking notes for his own benefit alone; but he never could be supposed as contracting for that whieh the vender never intended to sell--namely, the right of pub. lishiag verbatin the lectures. If this were not so, a man, by pay. tog two or three guiams, might, by employing a short-hand writer, .112 away a copyright worth some thousands of pounds. Looking the consequences of suffering the Lased to take upon itself such a right, the Learned Counsel hoped the Court would not heed. elute to grant the inunction. Mr. Boa XP. , fo llowed the Solicitor-General, and was sucenisil by Mr. Brougham. The case comes on again to-morrow (this day.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WESTMINSTER, JutrE 10. COMM, ESQ. 1. EANKES. This case, it will be remembered, was for the purpose of trying the question whether that part of Lincoln's Inn, called Stone was or was not liable to pay poor-rates, as being within else parish of St. Andres', Holborn. The parish, considering that the inhabitants residing in Stone-buildings were not exempt from the usual rates, applied, as was the regular course, to Mr. Cooke, a respectable barrister, occupying cham be rs in that part of Lincoln's Inn, for the rate. Mr. Cooke refused to pay it, alleging that Lin coln's Inn maintained its own poor, and was to all intents extra. parochial, although locally situate within the parish of SL Andrew, .Holborn. The overseers, in order that the question might be brought to an issue, directed Mr. Bankes to leer a distress on Mr. "Coae's goods for his quota of the rate. Mr. Cooke then brought the present action against Mr. Bankes for the supposed trespass, Gad the cause was tried before Mr. Justice Littledale, at the Sit tings after last Michaeboas Term. The evidence on the part of the plaintiff went to show that Lincoln's lon was originally a reli gious house of Friars, which. by the law, was exempted atom all control eat the part of the secular aethorities; that it bad a chapel of it t own, kept a priest, and always maintained Itifown.poor. It was therefore submitted, that these facts proved that Lincoln's Inn was extra-parochial; but even should it billiAtsidered as being locally situate within the parish of St. An. drew. Holborn, yet inasmuch as all these peculiar rights were exer cised by it ggevious to the statute of Elizabeth, which established poor rates. it soust be held that that statute could not divest the 1011 of those immunities, and if so, the distress was illegal. and WO plaintiff was entitled to a verdict for the trespass. On the part of the defendant it was proved, that persons who had died at Lin bati from time to time been buried in the burial_ground of St. Andrew's parish, for the usual fees taken from persons who had belonged to the parish ; that marriages and christenings of persons living In the Inn were celebrant in the parish ; that when the boundaries of the parish wire perambulated, that part of the Inn In question was always, embraced, and treated as being situate', villain the parish ; and lastly, that a hook, by a Benches of' the Inn, IA been produced, wherein the original grant of the premises I Seem the Earl of Gineola to the Society of Lincoln's-Jon, was set oat, which described the premises to be situate within the parish of Andrew, Holborn. Upon this evidence the ease was left to the , who found a verdict foe the defendant, thereby establishing aria ' "tp ad the dna to pay the rates, ate, In Hilary Term the Mr. Justice Littledale had left the Clint before the case came on. The rule for a new trial was therefore aiseharged, and the ver dict for the plaintiff confirmed. f :MOD V. COL. lIERKFLEY AND OTHERS. Mr. C. Pu 11.1.1 rs nioesd for a role, calling on the defendants to show cause why the rvuot should not be brought back from Glou cester (to which it had been removed by the defendants,) to Mid. dleaex, or to sonic other county besides that of Gloucester. This was a ease of assault, and one of a very aggravated dram'. coG. witted by Colonel Berkeley and the other defendants on the plain tiff, who was the editor of the Cheltenham newspaper. The chief reason for this application was the influence which Colonel Berke. ley possessed in that county of Gloucester, where he possessed large "mess was a magistrate, Colonel of the militia, president off Pres . !. hunting, and other clubs, so that there was no chance of an impar tial trial in that county. Tha Court granted the rule, but thought there was no chance of its producing any good to the plaintiff: EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, FRIDAY, JUNE 10. .11efore the Barons arid the Judges iLl* the Court of Common Heusi WILLIAMS AND OTMEII3 V. DIATOM AND OTHERS. The plattnitis in this cause are banken in London, and the de fendants are cotton merchants and manufacturers in the country. In the year 1818, John Moon and Sun, also cotton merchants in the country, conjointly with the Alloitini. Barton and Co. the de fendants, agreed to make a speculation in cotton, for which purpose Messrs. Moon and Son instructed Messrs. Hunt and Sharp to put_ else for them cotton to the amount of 20,0001. They did so pur chase, and the warrants fur the delivery of the cotton were made out in the name oldie broker, Hunt. At the time of the purchase of the cotton the brokers were ignorant of Barton and Co. having 3 share In the piatchase. Barton and Co. paid their share of the F orename immediately after to Meats Moon and Son. Suhao. THE BRITISH PR : quently the brokers wrote to Mesa and Son, that a ceetain offer was made them for the purchase of the cotton, when Messrs. Barton and Co. addressed a letter to them, wherein they stated that John Moon and Son. and themselves (Barton and Co.) were not disposed to take the price, and they though t the property had better be di vided, and left the division to t he brokers, requesting they would separate the warrants to the best of their judgments. The brokers bad received instructions front Moon and bon, to obtain for them a loan on the 'cotton warrants. This they did to the amount of 20.0001. Bills to that amount were drawn upon Hunt and Sharp, and discounted by the plaintiff% in the present case, and for their security the warrants were deposited with them. The first of these bills became due in the February following, and the last on the sth of March. On the 2d Of March, Sharp,'one of the brokers, applied to the bankers for the warrants, that he 'right divide them agree. ably to the instructions he had received. He had them delivered for that purpose, but he kept Moon's warrants, and returned the warrants belonging to 11l essrs. Barton and Co. to the bankers, and obtained a fuether discount of fodr new bills, to the amount of 10,0001. Barton and Co. brought, an action of trover against the bankers, and recovered a special verdict, finding the plaintiffs en. titled to the wammota The cotton was sold for 7301. Mr. TINDAL, for the plaintiffs in error, to-day, contended that as action in trover was not maintainable, the plaintiffs being tenant+ in common with Messrs. Barton and Company, but if he should be wrong in his judgment upon that point, still he should con. tend that they had an undivided right in the moiety. Moon and Co. gave instructions to purchase for them, and the Jury at the trial below so found. Previously to the discounting of the new bills they were in possession of the whole, and the discounting of these bills was in effect a renewal of the old. The Learned Counsel in support of his argument cited a number of cases. Mr. F. PoLvoce, on the part of the defendants in error, con tended that the fact found by the Jury, was, that the purchase was made on the joist account, and that the brokers were trustees for Moon and Co. and Barton and Co. That Barton and Co. having actually paid for their share, gave them a right equal to a delivery. That when a division of the warrants took place they were the brokers for both parties respectively, and that having no instructions from Barton and Co., they had no right to deposit their warrants upon a transaction which he contended was a new one, part of the Bills first given being actually paid before the warrant, were withdrawn, and the whole being paid before the discounting . of the new bills. He altogether denied that they were tenants in common ; they had a lien and nothing more; a lien gave no right to property, it only gave a right to hold. Cutest JCSTICE BEST—It will come to this a , last--did they then give up the whole, and upon a new contract take back a part ? Mr. Pott.oc•—The original agreement was a joint contract to purchase'ending in a division, pending which the brokers pledged the whole of the warrants with Williams and Co. But after the division the warrants became separate property, and he would ask if the property of any person could be pledged without his con sent ? The hankers, no doubt, reposed confidence in the brokers, and believed they would not pledge property improperly. To them the plaintiffs roust look, and he felt that he should be entitled to the judgment of their Lordships. Mr. Throat. shortly replied, when Counsel were requested to withdraw. _ _ _ The Judges consulted together for a abort time, and affirmed the verdict of the Court below. POLICE. bfARY.LA.BONNE OFFICE. AN AVFNCTING 6.8 N.--A bout threee o'clock yesterday morn ing one of the watchmen or park-keepers of the Regent's-park, whose station is contiguous to the basin of the canal, observed a lady and gentleman of very elegant appearance, standing aii. gently in earnest conversation. Shortly after he first i:nicest them they walked away, and soon were out of his view. On patroling his station again in the next hour, he observed the same female walking among the shrubberies, crying bitterly, and evidently under the weight of the neutral mental agony. The man listened to her asseverations, which were loud and frequent, and in which he thought he heard the name of a Noble laird mentioned; and being apprehensive the lady contemplated self-destruction, he was proceeding in the direction likely to lead him towards her, during which be lost sight of her for a minute or two; and on searching the enclosure he perceived her descend the batik to the basin, and in a hurried and agitated manner strip off some of her dress ; and io the act of raising her arms towards the heavens, she exclaimed, "Oh God, have mercy I" and rushed towards the water. He jumped down and seized her just in time to prevent _the rash act. She screamed on his catching hold of her, and was so overcome by her agitation and struggles that she fainted. However, the park-keeper procured the assistance of another watchman, and very soon succeeded in restoring her senses. lie assisted her towards the New-road, and finding, from the inc.°. herency of her language, and the evident distress of her mind, that if left alone she would again repeat the attempt at self. destruction, he conducted her, with a great deal of difficulty, to the residence of Gibbs, one of the police-offiixirs, and left her in his care. That officer, on the opening of the business at this office, conducted lice thither. The following is a sketch of her affecting history ; The lady's name is Mary Ann Dunstanville, and she is a member of a highly respectable family. Some years since her father was distinguished for his mercantile knowledge, and as was customary with his family, entertainments were given, at which honourable, distinguished, mad noble persons appeared as guests. lie, great personal attractions excited much admiration, and unfortunately her too ardent imagination led her too easily to believe the alluring promises of an accomplished and noble seducer, to whom she fell a victim. His premises, she soon found, were mere professions, and heabandoned her. She returned to her family, and by a strange reverse of circumstances, her father's fortune, owing to commercial failures, were ruined, acrd she became so desti tute as for a period to pursue a round of gaiety, front the proceeds of which she supported an elegant establish ment, and soon obtained such celebrity that her fashion ale.e sphere was extended to the first circles. This did not last long : she too experienced the reverses of her situation, and from AnAbhurrenre of the courses of the lower orders of the unfortunate females of the town, she preferred adopting the dreadful alternative of self-destruction, and concealed herself the whole of the night in the Park, with a view of accomplishing that object. The person to whom she was speaking was -a casual stranger, who coldly ad vised her to return home, without the slightest offer of assistance, and the scenes of happiness of her early life recurring to her imagi nation, she in a moment of desperation rushed into the water as above stated. On being brought before the Magistrate she appeared much de pressed. She WAS elegantly dressed, and her manners were ex tamely good. The Magistrate having pointed out the extreme folly and wicked ness of self-destruction, he directed her to be conducted to her home. The unfortunate female seemed thankful for the kindness ex tended towards her, and ou becoming more composed was con ducted to her residence. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a young man, named J. Ringer, living in the service of Mr. Winter, of St. James's-xtreet, was brought before Mr. Ro E l the Marnstrate. Mr. 1. oxhall, a gentleman residing in Raker-street, stated that on Monday night last he had a party of friends at his house, amongst whom was Alt. Winter, the master of tile prisoner. In the course of the evening the prisoner came to attend upon his master, and as the servants of the house had a good deal to do, he offered his services to assist them, which was permitted. Several hats were missed at night, and in the morning various articles of plate were foundlo have been stolen, which were traced to the prisoner. The prisoner said that he knee/ nothing to urge in his defence, and was fully committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. T.

Coy rms.—The fashionable parties have been rendered equally attractive by the beautiful weather, but nothing could exeeed the magnificence and splendour of his Majestys Drawing-room on Thursday ; never was there such a display of female beauty ; the ladies appeared in all their charms supremely great, assisted by the enchanting influence of Rowland's Italydor, which communicates a celestial bloom to the female complexions, I The ladies' heads of hair were arranged in the most fascinating 1 and tasteful style of elegance, assisted by the co-operative aid of Rowland's 3lacassar Oil, demonstrating the superior excellence of those inestimable Productions.

DISTRESSING CAGE OF SUICIDE.—CORONER'S IN QUEST—Yesterday an Inquisition was held at the Anchorand Hope tavern, Jamaica -street, Commercial. road, before Mr. Unwin, the Coroner, upon the body of Mrs. Salmon, who came to her death under the following distressing circumstances:—lt appeared that about two months since the husband of the deceased, through u , . foreseen misfit: tunes, became embarrassed in his cireon - stances. and was arrested for a debt of 181. arising out of a bill which he indorsed 10 acammodate a friend. and he was sent to Whitteross-strres pitman, where he still remains. During his confinement the de. missed endeavoured to support herself and family by following her husband's business, but the expenses attending her busband's in. prisonment, together with that of her family, so much exceeded h , income, t tat she bxame in arrears of rent with her tat dlord, ate pot a Cistress on her goods, and they were taken in exezut o . Thus situated, she was obliged to go into a miserable la' •g, and still con tinued her business on a small scale, but the tloosar of not being •'•l• to relea e her hasband from incarceration acted s I much ca her mind that she be ame dreadfully depressed and melancholy, and on Wednesday morning she was found In the gur,wn behind the housg, susistuu.:d from an iron hook in the wall by a clothes-line. The Jury, sitar hearing the testimony of the witnesses, returned a a verdict, " Tbat the deceased committed suicide while labouring under temporary derangement." The four children of the deceased are left quite unprovided for by the death of the mother and the pnprisonment of the father. HORRID MURDER OF • CHILD.—On Thursday the 2d inst. a man, who appeared dumb, passed through Laiton, near Wansford, Northamptonshire, selling needles and buttons t his behaviour to those who would not buy of him, was very menacing, and he spit in one woman's face. At the end of the village he found three children at play, and in an haunt stabbed one in the neck, with • knife: her life is, in consequence, in great doubt. The villain was traced to Chile, and there lost. He wore a dark Wellington coat, with grey fustian trowsers, and carried before him a small dark green or blue box containing his wares. The fox hung by straps front his shoulders • and the words, " Whitechaptl, bondont" were on the strap be hind his neck. It is hoped that, from ihis account, the monster may be apprehended, and taken to lAkton to be identified.—Since wilting the above, we understand that the wounded child is de/O.—Mao/ford Mercury. - 10 - 12 HOPS. A letter )from Canterbury, dated June 8:--The warm weather has brought the bine to its colour; the strong grounds look well, but the weakly are still in a very feeble state, and make but little start. There is more fly on the plant this day than has been' seen before, and the leaves completely black ; the plant does not yet feel the effect of the vermin. Duty 50,4001. Extract of a letter from East Retford, dated June B.—The hop plantations in this neighbourhood, and throughout the North Clays. in • general. way, are in a growing and thriving condition ; the late cold weather, however, Las been against their making much progress. The flies, which are the cause of so much complaint in the South; have made their appearance here, but as yet they have not caused flinch damage, and from the general signs we are led to anticipate a fair crop.

Id. In Geneva no sales are reported. SPICES.—The request for Pepper has rather subsided; all other East India Spica are dull, and nearly at nominal quotations. CORN. EXCHANGE, Fa MAY, Juxz 10. Our supplies this week consist of 5,200 sacks of Flour ; 3,500 quarters of Wheat, 220 quartets of Barley, and 19,700 quartets of W Oats. Beal fine heat being scarce and wanted, needy buyers were compelled to submit to an advance on Monday's currency, but we had not any demand beyond that for immediate consump tion ; the trade continues in much suspense, in consequence of the Parliament delaying from time to time coming to a decision on the measures now before them. Barley, Beans, and Pease may all be stated rather dearer than on Monday. The extensive supply of Oats has checked the demand ; the trade, in consequence was dull to-day, sod rather lower than on Monday. La BR 1 DGE. COrn Inspector's Return, JUNE 9.
