Last night Ann Swaim:to*, the midwife, was brought op on a Beach warrant, in the custody of John Limbrick and Edward Bead, offieers, before the Sitting Magistrate at Hatton-garden Police Office, a trim bill having been found against her at the present Senior's at Clerkenwell, charged by the Overseers of the Upper Liberty of the parish of Saint Andrew, Holborn, with wickedly and maliciously ex posing a male bastard child in the public street, as already appeared before the public. Th. Magistrate informed the Pu•uner that peihaps she was not aware of the perilous situation in which she stood, sod the professional gentleman who attended for the prosecution would require to receive inenty.four hours notice of bail, herself in 100/. and each of her sureties is 1001. to afford the Prosecutors lime to make inquiry into their respectability, until which time she should stand committed. She gave the names of Mr. Lamb, a builder, sod Mr. While, an auctioneer, as her intended bail, but the Solicitor for die prosecution objected to Mr. White. Mrs. Sy mums was then couveyed to prison.

After being thus nobly regaled, the division marched to Stafford, on their route to Man chester, after giving a hearty volley of three rounds of cheers to their brave Colonel. The Officers of the corps, consisting of Captain Lord Sze•roa, Captain INGE. of Thorpe, &c. &c. dined with the Margin* on Sunday, and made a shooting party in the woods on Monday. The second division of the rOfili underwent the same hospitable ceremonial on Tuna' iy. The regiment will sell their old Water loo chargers at Manchester, and have a new mount on young horses. It is now understood that there will be no law. suit between the Comedic Francais and rALMA, their thlrerence being amicably settled.

COURT OF COANCERY, limcouee Mompar, JANUARY The LORD CHANCELLOR, fur the fiat time since his severe indisposition (an attack of the gout), sat in his private room, his Lordship not being suffi ciently recovered to sit in open Court. We were sorry to perceive that his Lordship is quite lame, and that he appeared to sutler excessive pail during the day. The room was much crowded, no account of his Lordship hearing the ►notiAus which, ac cording to the practice of the Court, hr ought to have heard on last Friday, it being the first Seal before Term. CUMMING v. CUMMING. Mr. HART moved ins the pert of the Defendant, that the injunction in this case should be dissolved. It would be in the recollection of his Lordship. that the injuction was granted ott the application of Mrs. Cumming, the Plaintiff, the wife of the Defendant, on the ground that the estatr:a in ques tion were settled on her and her issue, and that the Defendant, her husband, was receiving the rent, of them, and putting them to his own use. The Defendant afterwards applied to the Court that a proper guardian should be appointed to the child ren, the issue of the marriage of the Plaintiff and the Defendant ; and his Lordship made an order, that the Plaintiff should produce the children ; she, however, had avoided the service of that order, by removing herself and children out of the jurisdic tion of the Court. An application was afterwards made to his Lordship, that the service of the order on Mr*. Cumming'• clerk in Court should he deemed sufficient rervice; the Court granted that application, and the order was accordingly served on the clerk in Court; hut no notice had been taken of it by - _ the Plaintiff, and she was now under a contempt of Collo. The consequence of the injunction be ing in force was, that there was no person to receive the rents from the tenants. All be (ihe Learned Counsel) asked on the part of his client was, that he might be allowed to receive the rents, and pay the amount of them into Court, to wait the result of the cause being heard on its merits. Mr. MATTHEWS stated, that Mrs. Cumming be ing in contempt was no reason why the injunction should be dissolved, and there had been no other cause shrove'; therefore, if it was properly granted in the first instance, it ought not to be dissolved. The LORD CHANCRI.I.OR , .--" Who do you up. pear fo►, Mr. Matthews ?" Mr. MATTHEWS" I believe for Mrs. Cumming; although she is not to be found, I am instructed as her Couu•el." The LORD CHANCRI.L/R—" Then I will not hear you, although I should he always happy to do so where the prerogatives of the Court have not been abused. Can this lady, or those who advise her, think that I will listen to her after she has treated the orders of the Court contemptuously? There fore let the husband receive the rents, and pay them into Court. When the wife produces the children before me, I will pay every attention to her interest and theirs, but I am resolved that the dignity of the Court shall not be insulted." Motion granted in part. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S IN' A Suitor begged leave to ark his Lord hip. on what day he would give a certain judgment ? The LORD CH•NCELLOR—" I have been so ill I have not been able to pay attention to any thing. . . I will answer the question you have put to me on Wednesday ; this is an indulgence I ask for my self, which has been caused by indisposition. There are some bankrupt petitions for judgment which I might have written, but I did not think I would be justified in doing so, without giving my reasons for my judgment, although my predecessors have done so. lam of opinion that a Judge ought to give his reasons for his judgment, so as he may be judged himself." SUITORS WRITING TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR. The cii GORDON V. GORDON. of this case are already before the public. It will be recollected that the question ■t issue was, whether Harry Gordon, the Plaiutiff, was legitimate or illegitimate, and that on the re presentation of his younger brother, James, that he was illegitimate, he gave up his right to the real estates for an annuity. It tint came on to he heard before the late Master of the Rolls, who directed an issue to try the validity of the marriage of the parents of the Plaintiff and Defendsnt, and that the declaration of the mother might be received by the Jury as evidence. An appeal from that judg ment was made to the Lord Chancellor, and his Lordship confirmed it. The issue was tried, and the Jury gave a verdict, declaring that the Plaintiff was legitimate; after which it came on before his Lordship for further direction. The LORD CuaNcew.oa—' , When this cue was last before me I thought what I am now con vinced of, that that great Judge, Sir %Via. Grant, was of opinion, that if the Jury decided for the illegitimacy, there was an end of the case, but not so if they found for the legitimacy. I have had a conference with that once great !misery of the Bench, and he has informed me I was right in my conjecture as to his opinion. I SID happy to see Mr. Wingfield come into Court, for the position he took up, when this case was last before me, was most proper, and natural that the verdict of the Jury decided the cruse, and that it wus only neces. 'dry that au account should be taken between the parties. This, at first view, would strike every man of legal understanding to be the sense of the case, and as such Mr. Wingfield most ably argued it. But there is another view of the case to be taken. which is, whether the Defendant. James, was igno rant of the legitimacy of the Plasutiff, Harry ; 'flee was, this Court would not visit him with the same consequences as if lie purposely imposed on his brother. This point I wish to hear argued. fur which reason I will hear a Counsel on each side any day that suits their convenience. I have ooe observation now to make. which is, that during my indisposition I have received letters both from the Plaintiff and Defendant—l merely menthol this for the opportunity of saying, that whenever I re ceive a letter, and see by its signature that it is from a suitor of the. Court, I never read it." Further discus• postponed. Mr. BELL requested that his Lordship would fix a day to hear a certain cause.

This was an action on a prilill of insrarance efl Gov! oil the ship ProvitlesCC. at and Rout Faro to the port ..1 . London. The Vessel was lost by the peril of the Pea* Mr SCAMS:VT. in stating the case. declared that he was utterly at a liwi to conceive what species of defence was meant to he set up against the Plain tiff's claim—but, as it was re;i4teil, lie felt it rte. y to enter into a shout history of the vessel. She was foreign bath, and was captured from the enemy, in the lute war. The Plaintiff purchased her, as a prize, and had her properly sore...yea, and thoroughly repaired. He souk the cot ttttt and of her himself. and she went a voyage to Hoorn. with corti in bulk. In her way she toothed on a sand-bank, and, in consequence, the Piton tiff, on her return home, had her again sur veyed, when it was found that she hati not sus tained any injury. This was in May, iBt 7, when she appeared to be about four years old. and was perfectly sea-worthy. The vessel was then in sured out to Faro, where she arrived iii safety, and took in a cargo of fruit. The Obey in tiuebtiuu was then underwritten by the Defendant, inswing the vessel home to the amount of 500?. Soon after she quitted Faro, about eighty miles front land, she started a plank. and, notbithstantling terry effort to free the ship front water. it increased PO fast, that the crew were obligsd to take to the host, to save their lives. The vessel was entirely lost. The cargo was insured, and the under writers had paid the loss—but the Defeto• sot resisted payment of the sum due under his policy. first, on the ground of utistaworthiness, and next, because the vessel w..s not worth the money for which she was insured. Now the fact was, she was insured for 5001. and cost 5501. and, when she sailed for Faro, she was perfectly sea-worthy. The Learned Counsel then called wittiessei to chew the repairs that she had undergone—the stints paid by the Plaintiff cm account of the vessel—and to prove, that, whets she left Faro, she was perfectly sea worthy. Mr. GAZELEE, for the Defendant, observed, that the question here was not whether the Provi dence. when she left this country, was see-worthy— but whether. when she departed from Fart, she was in that situation ? He was in a comfit' to prove that she was not. This hue ship, said to be only four years old, in 1817, he would shew had 'welt condemned as prize, five years before. He would also adduce evidence to prove, that she did not, on her passage home, meet with weather of so violent a nature as to et:changer her safety, if she had been in a sea-worthy state. The Learned Gentleman put in the log-book ; but it appeared from this document, that the weather, on the home `ward passage, had been exceedingly unfavourable —and the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict fur the Plaintiff, for the full sum claimed i ! by him.

The Loan CHIEF JUSTICES of the Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas, Mr. Justice RICHARDSON, and Mr. Justice BEST. MAGISTERIAL APPOINTHENTL—Yesterday J. RAWLINSON, Esq. of Hampshire, presided as sit. ling Magistrate at Lambeth-street Police Office, for the first time since his appointment, in the room of Room's, who has succeeded the late Mr. LEACH, at I lettonsgarden. The following Address of the Grand Jury of Middlesex was preseuted to the Court on Saturday., January 16th, 1819, at the Sessions-House, Clerk eiiwell :-- " The Grand Jury of the County of Middlesex cannot se parate without stating to the Court, that the painful duty devolving on them has been rendered more acute by the hills brought before them, on the pert of the Batik of Eng land, against individuals ;barged with posseseing or uttering forged notes, purporting to be the notes of that establish meet. " The Grand Jury are aware that a strong prejudice is abroad against the Bank on this subject, and it is not their wish to increase it; it is, however, well known, that the notes of the Bank of Rowland are much too easily imitated, and they cannot forbear expressing their decided opinion that such easy imitation might be prevented, and the frequency of the crime be consequently diminished. " The Grand Jury beg also to express their hope that a revision of the Criminal Code is in contemplation, and more particularly the law respecting forgery of Bank Notes; nod, if they may with propriety, they would suggest some other mode of punishment than that at present adopted, such as perpetual hard labour and solitary imprisonment, which would be more dreadful in the eye of the offender than the chance of escaping capital punishment by the commutation of death for trasisportation. " &geed on behalf of the Grassi Jury by their Foremast, " CHARLES BERRICK." A considerable degree of alarm was excited throughout the port of Plymouth about half-pest ten o'clock on Thursday night, by the firing of signal-guns, and the ringing of the bell in the Dock-yard, which soon collected together malty thousand persons. A report was circulated that the Royal Sovereiga had taken fire, but, on inquiry, it proved that she had drifted from her moorings. in consequence of seine part of the chain having given way. Before any ii,ii-tariee could reach the ship. the warrant officers bud let No anchor go, and etfeetually brought her up without any damage. A gentleman of the name of nougats had his pocket-book cut from his pocket yesterday after noon, in Bond -street, which contained 471. in Bank of England notes, several bills of exchange, sod other papers.
