The French Consul, resident is this city, heing apprised that some foreigners, sailors, mid other% calling themselves Frenchmen (and it is worthy of notice must of them are not), and pretending to bare bees shipwrecked, or telling other falsehoods, are, from time to time, strolling tl gh the streets, with a design to excite the feeliugs of the charitably disposed; thinks it incumbent os hies to make knowe that those individuals w h o tan prove themselves to he French subjects, belongiug to the army or navy, either by proper documents or in soy other 'credible manner, or emu give testimonies of their enisfortsues, need out have re. course to deception. The Consul, both from a sense of duty and of inclination, has always here, and will constantly be ready to retiree the necessities of such; and that with the emotion mid regard due to the enfortueate. He ge nerally discharges the expellees of their board nail lodging during their stay in this city, provides them with wearing apparel when it is absolutely necessary, and defrays the charges of their passage to the residence of the summit French agent on their way to their native country. The French Consul desiring, as far se in him lies, to pre. vent au abuse injurious to the Fresech character, and really pr. judicial to the poor of this country, declares hr is folly determined on pointing out to the notice of his Government sod the Magistrates of Dublin, in order that they may pu nish, securdiug to law, ally French subjects who, after hair. lug received from hint assistance, and the amount of their expenses, to enable them to returu to France, should, in . stead of so doing, persist in their imposture within the mils of his district.

On Thursday evening last, one of those accidents which too frequently occur thru•igh the furious (hiving and mis conduct of stage-coachmen, took place in the Neer-road, under the following circumstances: — Two stage coaches, the one belonging to Messrs. Mor rison, and the other to Salmon and Bull, of the New Road, were observed running along at a must furious rate, racing against each other on their return home to London ; on their arrival near a turning, the ejects belonging to Salmon and Bull gut rather a head of the other, and the coachman in an attempt to prevent him turning round first, drove his horse against the others. A brewer's dray was passing by at the time, and the wheels of the stage coach came in contact with the wheels of the dray with snch violence, that the dray was completely orertmeied, so that the shaft-horse lay some time 00 his back ; the stage coach was overturned with great violence, and the whole of the passengers were precipi tated from the top of the coach, who with those inside, were dangerously injured, and were taken home in a shuck ing condition. The coachman, and a lad who was sitting on the box, were thrown off, the latter was thrown 1 yards with much violence, and injured also. One of the horses be. lunging to Mr. James Morrison, which was attached to the coach with others, in the turning over of the coach, came against the dray, and was thrown on the ground with the most tremendous violence and killed upon the spot, and the roach was much datnaged. Several persona narrowly escaped with their lives. I Yesterday morning Mr. Martin, Member of Parliament for the county of Galway, in Ireland, who, together with his groom, narrowly escaped with their lives through a si milar occurrence, attended both at Halloo Garden Police office and Marlborough•street, to know what mode he could pursue in punishing the partiss who drove in the above MM. nrr, as he was determined, if possible, to make public ex amples of them. He stated, that he was riding along the New Road, uu a very spirited Persian pony, which the Prince Regent had made a present to him, and be was followed by his groom. Two stage coaches drove along at a must fa nous rate against each other, which startled his pony, amid they still kept on their pace. On their arrival near him he was caught between both coaches, and iu fact be and his groom were nearly killed. He wished to home bow they might be brought to justice, for the public safety. Mr. Dyer, the Magistrate, told bin, that the Act of Par liament was inefficient to punish the coachmen who drove the roaches. and the parties connected with them generally acted with such conning as to evade the rude of justice, un less the coach and coaehinaa were well known. Mr. Martin saul, it MSS a shameful thing that such nui sances should be suff.red. He thought there should he a Solicitor to each office to keep them in order, and he would certainly make it his business to speak to Lord &Juana's on the subject. Mr. Dyer said, that it certainly was a subject worthy of attention, and he was happy to understand that the parish of Mary.le-bone were lasing every exertion, and had employ ell certain officers to repress such dangerous circumstances, which lie himself had the pain 44 witnessing every day, to the oiniiiiiimit 'lmager of the public. Mr. Mai tin quitted the Lava with the same determium Lion as he cisme.' it. DARING ROBBERY. Yesterday morning, between the boars of two and three o'clock, t h e hotter of Mr. Whittisighaut, grocer, opposite St James's Chinch, nits broken open and robbed of pro perty to ag. eat amount.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Lnicoves.txv. FaIDAY. limy So. ROE V. ALDIRNAN MATTHEW WOOD AND OTHERS. Mr. HBALD moved to set aside en attachment which► had been issued against the Defendant*, for contempt of Court. in not answering the Planitiff's bill. The property in dispute between the parties are certain mitten in Cornwall. The cireun►staoces that made the present lion necessary lies in a very narrow emitters'. although the ergomrt►ts of Counsel occupied the Court the better part of tan days. When the Plaintiff filed hi• original bill against the Defendants. they immediately prepared their answer. At this period an aeti was brought in a Court of Law, by a third person. against the Plaintiff. relative to this property, on which a cosi. ference took place brtwert► him and the Defeo &tat, Alderman %Visor!, who had also an interest in the result of the action at law, awl they agreed to make it a coin cause against the Plain tiff at law. and Alderman %VOW, sugge►ted tha►, if Isis and the other Defendant's answer to the Plai n tiff's bill was put iii, the Plaintiff at law might get a copy of it, and become poasersell of facts which would be of essential use to him in try ing the action►, on which it was agreed that the De resident.' allover should be lodged in the Master's Office. instead of being put on the records of the Court. They afterwards, its the year ISIS. agreed to stay all proceedings in the suit at equity, mud the ease rested there until the yth of the present nsonth, when the Plaintiff served the Defendants with no lice to put their answer in forthwith, and if they failed to do so, that an attachnieut should issue against them fair a contempt of Court. Ott the Defendant, Alderman Wood, receiving this notice, he answered that neither he nor the other De. frndants would put in their answers, as they con sidered the suit abated, us they had by agreement stayed the proceedings, ou winch the Plaintiff issued the attachment against the Defendants. The Learned Counsel contended that the Court ought to overrule the attachment, as by the deed of agree ment between the pettier, the suit woe abated ; hut if his Lord-hip was of * different opinion. it was but fair that the Defendants should have further time to answer; for in► the course of three years, which► had elapsed since the answer which was lodged in the Master's Office had been sworn, their belief might have altered ; besides the Defendant Ilenjamiu Wood, who was its the possession of the facts of the original transaction with the Plaintiff. resided in Cornwall, and it would be necessary For the other Defendants to have a communication with hill before they put their answer in. Mr. Stheisorrost followed ou the seine side. The ATTORNEY.GINBRAL. Counsel for the Plaionff, contended at considerable length, that his client was induced to enter into the agreetuent to stay the proceedings without knowing the effect it would have, as it never was his inteution to abate the suit, which was proved by the bill nut being dis missed. He was convinced that the Defendants did not believe that the suit was abated, for if they had, they would have had the bill dismissed, and as the suit was pending the Defendants were liable to be called on ■t any time to put in their answer. He could not see what claim tl►e Defendants had on the indulgence of the Court. so as to induce his Lordship to set aside the attacluneut. In his opinion the answer which the Defendant, Alder• man Wood, returned, when he was called on to put its his answer. was as great a contempt of the Court as a man could be guilty of. Mr. MONTAGU and Mr. SHADWELL followed on the rime side. Mr. HEALD replied. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed. he would give his judgment on comi n g into Court mousing. INJUNCTION. NESTOR V. NAEGoUGAN. Mr. WETNERELL Waled, an ex parr( motion for an injunction to restrain the Defendant from issuing and accepting bills of exchange in the names of the firm of the Plaintiff. The Defend ant had been the clerk of the Plaintiff, who is an army agent, and afterwards the Plaintiff gage him r share of the profits of the concern. The Defend ant's circumstances became involved, and hr was ROW a Prisoner for debt in the Fleet Prison, and he had threatened to issue bills of exchange on the partnersh►p account. Under those circumstances, he had nu doubt but his Lordship would grant the motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR- 4 ' You may take the injunction, un condition that you forthwith serve the Defendant with notice of it." Motion vented. His Lordship ruse at half-past two o'clock to atteud a Cabinet Council. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. lancoLm's-ligx, FRIDAY, JULY 30. DUNE OF SOMERSET V. TURTON. Mr. MERRYWEI.T. stated, that he appeared on behalf of the Plairdiff, who had filed a bill, the object of which was. that a reference might be made to the Master to deter what comprnsa -11011 was due to him by the Defendant for the non perforatiat.ce of a contract entered into between the vat, tiew and also to restrain the Defendant from taking any further proceedings, in consequence of a v e rdict attained in a suit at law to recover a sum of 8551, which had bran deposited by Defendant in the hands of Plaintiff's agents on the conclusion of the agrermeipt. The Learned Counsel then 'pro ceeded to read the facts of the case as follows : In D e cember, 1814, large estates belonging to the Plaintiff were void by auction by Mr. Christie ; and of them &tyro or eight lots to the Defesidard, for the sum of 8,5501. The conditions of the ark were—that the purchase money slsoold be paid into the hands of blesses. Alexander and Beser.solicitora, of Newcastle, wo o. to the Plaintiff; before the lush of August of the following year. and that the timber and underworal were also to be taken on • lair valuation, after which the purchaser was to be put in t otatiessittii.

The Doke afterwards wrote a letter to his solicitors, corm& , * g that Sir T. Turbos did nut costae Mr. Doggie,* to come to a decisive award, and at the same tinie exprestord a desire that the ease should be referred immediately to Messrs. Ruoprli and Sh a derell, the respective Coutoael of himself and Defendrist. The propositi ssss being acceded to, these Grsitlioneit came together, not In the manner that arbitrators usually do, but relying on their own knowledge of the trinsraction, rod without any of the 11041TUOICO111 or documents relating to it. They awarded that the Duke should restore the whole of the deposit, e xcept 1501. by way of compensation fur the breach of the contract, and pay 5 per cent. interest on the wisole deposit from the time of its being made, assuming that the deposit had been employe I to the use and interest of the Duke of Simonet, which was not so in point of fact. The Duke took exceptions to this award. from the cir cunestancer undo r which it bad been come to, and becaasr lie had no opportunity gismo him of produc ing evidence to 'hew the extent of the loss lie had suffered, which he computed at 5.000/. The bill further charged, that the Defendant's refusal to agree to the first award was a fraud against the Plaintiff; that Defendant haul iso ground to recede from the original contract, us the Duke of Somerset both could and did make out hi. title. It alleged that Sir T. Turtois had, some time after the purchase, made llu• that his unwillingness to complete it arose from inability to raise the purchase-money, mid prayed as above stated. A demurrer was taken to the bill by the De fendant, in support of which Mr. AGAR appeared. Ile argued, that the Plaintiff was entitled to no relief; that there 'listed no ground to prevent the Defendant following up the remedy granted to hum in the Court of Law, for the recovery of the damages awarded hint by the decision of Messrs. Roswell awl Shrdwell, viz. the amount of the m 111 l ry deposited, except 1501. with interest on the former. as it in ode no difference (he contended) ii law, *tooth r the deposit was paid to the Duke of Somerset Il i 11l self, or his agents expressly appoint ed four that purpose, by the conditions of the sale. The VICK-CHANCELLOR said, the case resolved itself into the question, whether the Duke of Sometime was entitled to any relief from the de cisi 111 l prostouticeil by Messrs. Roupell and Shad well. lii selecting these two gentlemen as arbitrators, he had 51wpm/A that they were perfectly apprised of all the facto which should be taken into consi derations before an award should be pronounced; but on the allegations of the bill, which for the prevent he was bound to look upon as true, they were both must c pletely ignorant and mistaken as to one important fact, which, if known, would necessarily. in their own opinion, resider their deter misiatioss partial and unjust. Their award had proceeded on the supposition, either that the de posit had been handed over to the Duke of Somer set, or rpplied by his agents to his use and inte rest; both which circumstances were denied in the bill. It was not possible for the Defendant to get over that mistake; end could any Court permit such an award so stand without relief ? The bill prayed a great deal snore than perhaps the Duke was emitted to ; but if he could ley a just claim to one scintilla of ussirtatice, the demurrer. by al leging lie was entitled to none, covered too much. and usual be over-ruled.
