• •. SIR SAMUEL ROMILLY. With feelings of the deepest sorrow we perform the nichndinly task of announcing the death of Sir SaMUiL ROMILLY. The uncertainty of human life bas been the endless theme of the good and rei,e, who would teeth mankind to walk in the paths or liiiiiiilitv ; but what lesson did the moralist ae ,s offer of such effect to check the waywardness of van ity as the humiliating spectacle of • great mind alienated by the *hock of domestic calamity ? It "mid be but an affectatioii of delicacy to tliiiik of omicerling the add reality that Sir Stoat/ea Ro- State terminated his own existence ; and Irma the uniform tenor of his blameless life—from the • deep impression he ever evinced of the great moral truths dust insure us of • future existence, we cannot choose but infer from this his last act. that reason had ceased to exercise her empire. Nut more than two days have passed since we were called upon to announce the decease of his Lady, to whom Sir SAMUEL had been tenderly attached. Ever since that event, a settled melancholy seemed to brood over his mind ; his feelings. tiro nicely sensitive, slinnik at the touch of misfortune; end his friends. appiehensive of the worst consequences, fetidly hoped that by removing him from the im mediate scene of his suffiings, and restoring him to his wonted habits of business, Ins mind would teatime its tone, and dwell with fess painful inten ally. upon the sense of his calamity. He arrived from the Isle of Wight at his house in Russell square on Sunday night or Mooday morning ; but his house was desolate ; the vacuity that to his eyes must have reigned there, was not Militated , • to dissipate the gloomy ideas he for some day" had cherished, and some time between three acd four o'clock yesterday, he dosed a long and honourable career of public and private virtues. He Imo left. we believe, eight children. The leas of such a man as was Sir &Maim Roe 1 iiii.t.e . , would, under any circumstances, be much lamented ; but at the present mouse's', when the cri-ts of the nation's fate brie not yet passed, we could least of all have spored him. He suited in himself an assemblage of qualities rare and valuable in their separate existence, but in their combined splendour calculated to astonish by their variety, aid. to delight and improve by their harmony and utility. Deeply versed in the laws of his country, and lung engaged in the laborious exercise of their profession, he yet escaped from the techni cal trammels which the practice of the Bar is gene rally (perhaps unjustly) supposed to create. To that practice he brought • mind richly stored with the varied charms of extensive literature—a per suasive t loquence, distinguished by elegance of languege and chastity of ornament—a dignified impressive manner, where the disputant was skewer seen to overcome the accomplished gentleman. lu the House of Commons. he ever appeared as the d rinteretted advocate of universal charity. His political views were generous, maaly, and ex tensive—too consistent to be the mutt of party feel ing, and tun independent not to be cavilled et by the minions of power. But the proud simplicity of his character was such, that even those who were systematically opposed to him, could not withhold from him their esteem sad veneration. The last Stoke, of Parliament was perhaps the most active of Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT'S career; in it, without being specially appointed, the generous confidence , of the OsseosiTsote permitted him to act as their Leader, and thus offered the proudest tribute not only to his oratorical powers, but also to the up tight integrity and uncompromising firmness of his eharactrr. He must have been a most indefatigable lah-orer, and, we believe, there are many who, Lot being iiiflamed by the spark of ambition. would look upon his wealth and honours as dearly pur chased by the sacrifices of health and ordinary ea. :,oyinents which he made •to obtain them. We have in the course of our employment had occasion we unfrequently to mark the public exercise of S.r Sa=6L ROIMILLY'S talents during a day. We have found him in the Conn of Chaucery between 1..1k.: and ten o'clock ; there he has remained until r , tir. We have again seen him at fire o'clock in Iris piece in the House of Cominons; have heard him, tiller a laborious day . * occupation in Chaneery, speak with force and eloquence lotus ettemive ad. miring [louse ; and on interesting questions he al ways waited the division, no matter at what hour it might take place in the morning. Ile was always .ill prepared on every *tilijett, whether in the Com is or the Legislature ; and ellen it is coml. acted that his business far exceeded that of oily -0 er man at the Bar; we may form some faint idea •... the intentoly of his private studies.

TOWN* the clam of the tragedy of Richard the Third; a well-dressed man fell from his peat in the pit. At first it was imagined that he was intoxicated—hut, on raising him, he appeared to have suffered from a sudden fit. Several medic.,) gentlemen, who were iii the boxes, hastened down to his relief—but, ere they arrived, the spirit had fled its fragile mansion. On searching his pockets. several. bonds were found, and his address. " Mr. /decoriv, Bull Inn, Bi skopsgale." The hody was removed to the Rose and Crown public-house, preparatory to the sitting o f the Cisf()OWN inquest. Some German Journals having invented the new word Czarai to designate the kingdom of Poland, the Warsaw Gazelles have protested against this innovation. The Emperor of-Russia, as King of Poland, takes, hi the Polish language, the title of Krol, which is sytionirnous with King. If in the Acts iii the Russian language it is translated Czar, it is because this word, which is equivalent to that of Sovereign, is the most suitable term which the language affords. There is a report, which we hope will prove cor rect, that NI. BELZONI, the celebrated traveller s is living. The report of his death is supposed to have originated in a mistake, confounding him with the late N. BUCK HARDT. . . STRAYING FLOCIEL—A Clergyman being com plained of by another for drawing away his pa rishioners on a Saudi, made this reply, 1 , I have preached them here: let him preach them back again."

The ar►embher at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, this sea•on, have commenced with the greatest splendour; the three that have already taken place have been very numerously ■nd most fashionably attended, particularly on Wednesday last, under the patronage of Lady HARDY,. The Archduke MAXIMILIAN of Austria, cousin to the &mirror of AUSIRIA, and brother to the Duke of Motstos A Anil to the Queen of SARDINIA, arrived in Preston nit Tuesday lasi, at twelve o'clock. During the few hours he renowned in the Ipso, lie was accompanied by the Rev. J.

Bring much pressed for time at this late season of the year, his Highness declined view. big any other objects of curiosity which the town affords, lout requested that h►s thanks might be presented to the Mayor and the (other iudivtdnals ho had tendered their services and intimated a wish to 'hew hint attention. About three o'clock his H.gliness set nut to visit the College of Stony hunt, winch had toren commended to his notice by Ins Excellrnev the Duke of SAN CARGOS. We are authisri, , ed to announce, that it is in con templution to afford an additional relief to the dis tressed Scilly islander, from the town of Penzance, through a contribution of the inhabitents among themselves, commenced lust week by the Vicar, and that u considerable sum is expected from that place and London, by such menus.—(Cornsooll Gosette.) Robert Wyatt, Williams Phillips, Thomas Tor pie, Nicholas A.ricurehm, and Nicholas Gill, part of a gatiLT of eleven poachers. iii the vicinity of Yealnipton, were tried at the Devonshire Sessions, on Monday st'aiiiight, they having been discovered at night, armed with bludgeons, and destroying pose. The trial, which excited considerable tote rest, lasted seven hours. The charge appeared to be fully established by evidence, but the Jury, to the sistoilisliment the whole Court, returned their verdict—Not Guilty. An outrage of a singular nature took place last Meek at Shelley Fair, a place three miles beyond Penny Stratford. One SIKTHORPF, ti farmer, be ing hi a state of intrixicatiort, proposed a game at pitch and tots with COOK, the ostler of the inn— the conditions to be, that the winner should cut the other's throat. Chance deciding in favotir of SIIITHORPE. he forthwith tripped up the other's heels, and with a knife cut port of the skin from his throat, which bled profusely for a length of time. and reduced the man to a very weak state. Fortunately no very serious consequences are likely to ensue. .. About atom uu FrisLiy. his Imperial Ilighness the Archduke NiAXISIILIAN, with his suite, arrived ut Noir!, in York.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUNSTANCE.—OR Friday a partridge alighted on the balcony of the house of Colonel LYDON, is St. James's-square, which being observed by some persons, they com municated the circumstance to the servant's, on which Mrs. Coatroa, the cook, opened one of the windows and it Hew into the room, it is now alive at the Colonel's 'wear, and from its readily taking food it is expected to live. What is more re markable is that about a month ago, a covey of partridges slighted in the square, where they remained near twenty minutes, but took wing on some persous attruipting to approach them. We are requested to state, that the account giveu in the Police Report from Queen-square, in our Paper of Tuesday laat, of the death of the in tuit of a Centime', residing at 48, Marshatn street, IVtst ter, was incorrect ; the mother hav ing been for a considerable time in a consumption, is since dead, and the alarming state to which she was reduced was the initnetitate cause of the death of the child.

CHANCELLOR'S COURT, tilcorirs.lwir, MONDAY, NOIII3IIIHR t. —*— SARAH ANDRIiWS and crrimitit r. WM. ELMS, HORACP: Lf.I.IS, and OTHERS. Mr. WtNGFIE ILO Moved for au i.juortion to fr. struiii the Delesidesuis from selling or disposing of 1,100/. Four per Cent. Batik Annuities, and that the Batik of Eitglaird should be restrained from transferring them, under the following circum stances testator devised leis real estates tulips to the paymetit of Ins debts, if his personal estate was not sufficient for that purpose, The Plaintiffs, the creditors of the testator, lied their bill against his executors, Wm. and Horace Ellis—one of whom, by his answer, admitted assets,, on which a deeree was taken, and it wits sent to the spinster, to report what sums were due to the Plaisitiffs, mud lie reported that considerable sums were due to them. The defendant, Wm. Ells, who had ad mitted Assets in his hands, had %nice taken the be nefit of the Insolvent Act ; but before that he had told part of the testator's real estate to Mr. and Mrs. Drailesey Stedman, the purchase money for which was secured in the funds. Mrs. Stedman was nine of the testator's residuary legatees, and was entitled to the interest. There was no notice of this transaction when the original cause was heard, 11 not being necessary, us one of the executors ad mUted assets. But the circumstances of the case were completely altered alter the Defendaist. who admitted them, had bec iiistilvent. Under these considerations, he (the Learned Counsel) had no doubt but his honour would grant the injunction. Mr. TRESI:OVE followed on the some side. Mr. RAE said, lie was Counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Stedman. The latter of his clients was the (laugh - - ter of the troutur, who died in the year 10001 Wil liam and !Inouye Ellis were his executors. The further proved the will, sifter which Mr. Stedman supplied to lain on the part of his wife, when lie in formed him that there would he 4,0001. for the re siduary legatee., after the paytneut of the testator's debts, and offered Mr.. Stedman 1,0001. as 1:1§1 fourth share, on condition that if the estate would pay more, he, Mr. Siedinaii, would not cull for ft. This Mr. Stedman agreed to, and the 1,000/. was lodged in the Bank, for the oar of Mrs. Stedman and her children, in the year 180 Q, and the first hill in the cause was nut filed wail 1814, against the executors, mid they admitted assets, and • decree *as takes. out against them. If Wm. Ellis was in solvent, why did not they follow up the other De fendant. Horace Ellis Mr. TacsLove—.4 The defendant, Horace El lily in his answer to the supplementary bill, denies that he ever admitted assets in Ins first answer, al though it is set forth in the decree that he did." His tionour the VICR-CHANCELLOII--" The decree says they both admitted 'meets, and I must take it to be the fact as long as the decree stands. The practice of this Court will not allow me to go further hack than the decree." Mr. Rau, in continuation, said, a similar motion to the present was made before the Lord Chancel lor after the original bill was filed, and dismissed by Ins Lordship on the ground of its being irregular, 11111 no decree bad been mottle. The Plaintiffs had now filed a supplementary bill, stud for the a sort reason as his Lord-hip ‘listnissed the former Motion, he trnstrd his Honour would dismiss the present. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—" Did the Plaintiff,' state in their original bill that William Ellis was in solvent ?" Mr. RAE—" They did not." The Vice-Cmstscsr.Lett—" Have they stated it in their aupplementary bill ?" Mr. WINGFIELP—" They have." Mr. RAE—" But they have not alleged that Ho race Ellis is insolvent; why do they not proceed against him ?" Sir Aamma l'ibnoTT said, he appeared fbr the Governor sod Directors of the Bank of England, and they were ready to animist to whatever order his h ... Ur might think proper to make. Mr. WINGFIELD rrplied. The Vics-Cti•NcELLux—'• This is a bill filed by creditors seeking debts from executors out of real itiul.persoual estate. It was not necessary in the first instance, where executors admitted assets, to enter into the •object of the teal estate; for in stance. suppose William Ellis, the insolvent, was the only executor, the Plaintiffs could have raised a question with the residuary legatees ; sod if lie was the sole executor, I would restrain this sum from being paid, or the dividends but here we have Horace Ellis, who is not insolvent, and has admit. ted assets. The creditors must call on hie before they can come on the real 'stale. A ttinporaiy injunction to restrain the transfer of the stock can do no harm ; iu thr'inean time Mrs. Stedman may deal with the dividends as she pleases. I cannot agree with Mr. Rae, that it is the same mot' that was made before the Lord Chuurllur. Let the Batik have their costs fur appearing." Motion granted in part. The Court was occupied the remainder of the day iu hearing motions of course. R r tit tSE OT THE VI , 7IIELE FROM THE MEDI..
