CITY BUSINESS. -.rm.- The Lord Mayor held a Court of Common Council yes terday at GuiId11311„ for the dispatch of general business. After I Pctstions for Leases, &c. were presented and referred, A Petition was presented from Robert Brown, staling, that he had hero stone time a prlsoiter in the Whitecross street Prison, for the costs of an action brought against him for not being fi ee of the City • which being read, the Court on being aciptainted with th e ciectimatances, directed the Chamberlain to pay the necessary sure for his release. The Bill for raising a further supply of 2,4431. 10s. for the London Workhouse, was read. third time, sod, after a few observations, finally passed. A Report was presented by the Bridge-house Committee on the nature and duties of the office of Clerk Comptroller of the Bride-house, as referred to them at a late Coml. which was read and agreed to, and the vacancy in that office, by the decease of the late Santee! Newman, Eau was appointed to Ise tilled up at the next Omit. A Report was presented of the proceedings of the Commi ttee appointed in relation to the toll demanded at the east ern, of Lower Thanierstreet, by authority of the Board of Ordnance, is endeavouring to obtain the removal of the same, by which it appeared, that an action was brought, by direction of the Committee, against the party demaading the 101 l ; hot that the Master Geueral of the Ordnance hail subse qmllli \, directed the toll-house, &e to be removed, and the collector withdrawn, by which further proceedings became unnecessary, and the rizlit of the City was satisfactorily maintained. The Report any unanimously agreed to; as also a Vote of Thanks to Mr. Griffiths and the other Members of the Committee fur their • xertions in promoting and se curing so important an advantaze to the City. The Court voted thanks to ilia Rev. Jobn Sampson, Chap lain to the Lord Mayor, foe his 'sermon, pi cached on the first suisilav iu Easter Teem before his Lordship, the Judges, Sheriffs, and City Officers, at St Paul's; and he was re -11.1. gird to print his sermon preached 011 the first Sunday in Trinity Term, and to Fend a copy to every Member of the Court, ace. It war referred to the(' I Purposes Committee to eon. alder and report what alterations, if any, are rrgriaite in the mode of compelling persons to he free of the City. The Court, on a motion, then adjourned. It is stated es a certain fact that a young English Nobleman, Lord Powerscourt, offered Aludame Blanchard, at Tivoli, 4 25 louis to permit him to sr company her in her last ascent. The lady refused it, not having been apprised of it iu sufficient time to allow for an alteration in the bril, and some other preparations that were indispensable.-- (Perris Paper.) nijor Kelly, one of the bravest officers of the English army, well known and highly valued among his countrymen for the amenity of his man se's, (lied on lay, at live o'clock, in conse quence of a duel which took place ou the Thursday preceding between him and another Englishmen.

They are evidently taken from models of Grease (not Greece of the Attire, but Grease of the kitchen). There, where others would have erected formal Corinthian pilaster", we have presented to trn uest slips, bars, and bawls, in the prettiest taste of Pr' making ; round O's and lozenges are agreeably interspersed, and the bulky colunfna of the Taiwan Order, in some of the lower storks, set right-end upwards, are fancifully Con trasted by slender columna of no order, tarred upside down. These pillars, which, it is said, look like fumed table legs Irmo through a magnifying glass, or bed-posts reversed, are curiously surmounted by a neatly indented rim, something like that generally applied to • raspberry tart, presenting a novel specimen elf architecture equally ingenious and de ligh: fu I to behold Then who can look at the pilaster capitals, a little lower down the street, without admiration? Nothing like them was ever seen before. Three leaves of the plant called " Cabbage," two of which, from their puckered form, ap pear to be of the variety called " Savoy," are here made to go as far as half a.ilmen of the " acanthus," and two volutes as far as three! Doubts are entertained among the learn ed as to the source from which the artist has drawn the happy idea of these volutes. Some think it has been mg tested by a plate of crimped skate, others by the fop of a French pie; but the opinion that the huge horn of an old ram has given it, seems to obtain some weight. Be this as it may, the effect is overpowering, and the economy of the parts, and symmetry of the whole, are just what might be expected from the Nashonal (national) architect, 1 was about to notice the cavils of some ill-natured peo- ple, upon what they presumptuously term the inconsisten cies and incongruities of the fine range of buildings (pa laces I had almost said) iu the acw street; hat it is unne cessary. Every body must be convinced, that tire opportu nity this revolution in the buildings of the metropolis has afforded, of producing something delightful to the eye of taste, and creditable to the country, has not been lost ; that the buildings of modern London, as of anciesl Cruel and Rome, will henceforth become the models of admiring foreigners ; that the dispersion of families and expenditure of money to produce this street a►e considerations not to he named is comparison with the great Nashonal (national) benefit effected ; sad that our pride in barium such a street can only be exceeded by that of having a Prince, to whose judgmrlit in the arts we are indebted fur such a skeet and its couscquencec I am, &c. A. B. INVENTIONS FOR PRESERVING LIVES' FROM SMIPWRROIC Yesterday Mr. Trengrouse, from Cornwall, made as ex. periment with his apparatus fur preserving lives from ship wreck, on the Serpentine River, in Hyde Park, before his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, Sir Wa. Young, Vice. Admiral of England, Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, and seve ral other Officers and distingnished characters; among whom we noticed a Russian Prince, and some Gentlemen attached to the embassy of that and other nations. in surveying the nature of shipwreck, and the too usual calamities attending, it evidently appears that vast numbers (perhaps nine-tenths of the whole number who prematurely perish) are lust, through not being able to open a rope com munication with the shore. By the experiment we have just witnessed, we feel pleasure in confidently announcing, tbai this difficulty appears to be completely surmounted. To effect this important work Mr. Trengrouse uses a vim mon sky-rocket, properly prepared, with a line attached to its stick. By this line thus communicated the end of a small Vope is sent, large enough for the common porpoises of haul ing any thing from the wreck. This appears to be the lead. ing principle of the invention, but he has also various articles calculated to convey persons to the shore with all possible wifely and facility, which are conveniently arranged in a small chest, and are intended to become a convenient and valuable part of every vessel's equipment—thus putting the means into the hands of mariners themselves, who will have them ready to apply for their own deliverance, when or where necessity may require. . . . . In making the experiment yesterday, the first rocket which was discharged took out the line very wcll, but when nearly across the river the stick got disengaged femnt the rocket, and with the tnd of the line dropped into the water; the rocket flew 'slave sad exploded. The second rocket was discharged in beautiful style, and brought the lime with it across the river to some considera ble distance in over the land. Hy this line the end of a rope was qaickly pulled over, and by that, the end of a IGO fathom hawser, which was stretched across the river, above the water, by tackles, from two trees. On this hawser were placed two small well.contrived rollers, to the books of which was suspended a tlraible chair, composed of a wood seat and ropes; into this • man got, and was quickly and safely towelled across to the opposite shore. The chair wa■ then hauled back empty. Sooh afterwards another sort of seat was applied to one roller only; this seat lead a gnaw tity of cork to make it buoyant. A man girt on it, and held by the rope to which it was bung through the centre. He was also hauled across the river, but when about halfway over, the slack of hawser let him down into the water, and the buoyancy of the cork (as might naturally be ex pected from being placed under bins) upset him, and if he had far to lie hauled in that state woold have exposed him to much peril, if not certain destruction. With all defeienee to Mr. Trengrousee ingenuity, we dis cover muds in this new seat to object to, and wonder at his absence of dincrintiva •ou, when conceiving there was room for comparison, be OW and his old one, and of bin in trudicltho I all. An e i drag net for taking op the bodies of pe by • Mr. Bruce, which bad the desire 4 eaves; end elskis in such places as the Serpen tine, basing • pretty sumo* IlsWow, and two boats on the water or at command, is a aspat certain method of recover ing a body. The company now retired; hat Mr. Trengroune wishing to try some rockets, sod ter gratify the runehtintn• no the ether side (who by this timii vete nosnerous), projected two or three lines very prettily across the river by small rockets, and drew the attention sad apparent approbittiou slit great number of ladies add gentlemen. There was very etnt►iJerable betting in the sporting ei.. lee yesterday, on Oliver and Dint- Nell', who tight on Wednesday next, at viz to Emir on Donnelly. There are various reports as to the vtate of the condition of the men, for the purpose of betting; but they are well-up, to use a sports mall', phrase. 4 Wilt '• • • . LAW INTELLIVENCR. Cotikr 91.;a2estrtetEtvilerie•-carig. ; 1111,141.- aitc. .sir ARTHUR PinCoreitiked, that Ibis was *a application to his LordeliiP to ti4eite an order of hit Honour the Vice-Chancellor, of the 30th of..fune • last, stiyieg a trial at law, Which was sat down to be tried in the I;nitpuoa Pleats. at tfie ',resent sittings at 1144. Prius, iu Iranian. It sea* (trees airy that this motion should lee heard, as it was it's portant as it 'elated to t!ie jorisrlicriiiii of the Court, and particularly so so the law or this coon try admitted no man to have on °Mei , issued against him without his being heard, for if such a system t ss allowed to be introduced in the practice of •the Court it would create delay, and be a frightful source of endless vexation. The circumstances were. that Mr. Lopez was a merchant, residing at St. Petershurgh, and by the lasiniosiun of the E 11 34 peror of Russia he we. allowed , send a merchant ship to the Brazils. The ship nccorriingly arrived at Rio Janeiro, where having disposed of her out strard-boulid cargo she took in another, wit! sailed for Ransil ; by stress of weather she was obliged to put iuto , Falmouth, on which she was seized by the Militia' at Equity, Dr Tzeott, a niei client ovoid ing in this country, and wha was eighty-two yeast of age, who. snl.the cargo of the ship. lie (Sir Arthur) coeird i st see whether the Plaintiff hid or had nut a lied On the Orrjeu, how it could hear nu ,!hapreirent question, us nu sfeinssed of his could justify him in conamittinguo illegal rim The De fendant brought his action at law against the Plain tiff in June, IVI6, and well was his stelae, that he did not file his bill in that Court until Julie, 1818. The bill was extremely voluminous, and the whole aim of it was to prove, that the Defendant at Equity, Mr. Lopes, bad two partner., and by which means to non-suit him at law. The action, however, was tried in the Court of Common Pleas. and the Jury returned a verdict for Mr. Lopez. with 37,0001. damage*. Those damages might appear large, but it was not more than one-third of what the Defendant would have received if the ship had been allowed to proceed wills her cargo to St. Petersburg!). An amended bill was afterwards filed by the Plaintiff in that Court for • discovery. An application was also made to the Court of Common Pleas for a new trial, which was granted on the Defendant sit law giving proper security for the payment of the verdict of 37,0001. The Court of Common Pleas alio granted a commission to go to Russia to exit snipe Francisco Lopez, the son of the Plaintiff at law. The Commission issued on the I Ith of Ja nuary, and did Slot return from Russia to this country until the 20th of .June, 1819, and on the last day of that month, an application was made to his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, for en order to stay the trial at law. On what grounds such all lapplication was made, he, the Learned Counsel, war at a loss to know, as the order fur the original trial did not issue from that Court. On the same day a motion was made its the Court of Common Pleas to supremo the depositions which had been taken before the Commissioners at St. Peters. burgh ; the motion was however' refused by the ' Judges of that Court without hesitation. Ass affidavit was sworn on the 29th of June, and filed on the SOth, the very day the application was made to his Honour. It contained circum stances, which, of course, die Defendant could not rebut by a counter affidavit. but which his Counsel declared in Court he was quite ready to rebut if time was given for that purpose. The affidavit, however, was permitted by hie Honour to be read, and the motion granted. He hail now to ask of his Lordship to reverse that order, and he had no doubt but he would do so, as, in the first place, the Court had no jurisdiction in the case, the order fur the original trial being made in a Court of Law ; and, secondly, because it was against the known practice of the Court, which, if Isis Lordship allow. ed to be disturbed, would trod to unnecessary liti gation. Mr. WETHLRELL followed on the same side. The LORD CHANCELLOR.- 11 I am at a lon to know how an affidavit made and filed under such circumstances could be read in any branch of this Court. It will be morally impossible to go on with business if an affidavit filed iu this way is allowed to be read in another place, and cannot be read here ; and while I sit in this Court it can never be read. It is most unpleasant that a general and in• variable rule of practice does not operate in both !daces, for by going on in this way it will be im possible to do justice to the suitors of 'the Court. I must state. further, that it would be difficult, in deed, to convince me that this motion shook! have been granted by the other branch• of the Court, sinless there were other circumstances to support it than the mere reading of an affidavit, which Conn , eel were denied the right of answering. Whateeer others may do, I am determined, while I have the honour of sitting here. to administer justice between parties by the only effectual tneans which it can be administered, that is, by hearing both sides, and that on every paint that can be urged." Mr. HAAT, Counsel for the Plaintiff, said, that lie did not expect that the merits of the case would have been gone so fully into as it had by his Learned Friends, as it was a questiou that only re lated to • point of practice. The first thing to consider was, on what point did the Vice-Chancel lor proceed on when lie made the order complained of. He was ready to admit it *is the imperative duty of his Lordship to see whether a subordinate branch of the Court had or heal not muds ajudi clans order. In the month of May an order was made by his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, direct : ing the Defendant to lodge with the Clerk in Court, all books; papers, and writings, in his possession, conuected with the transactions in dispute, which order the Defeudatit had nut obeyed, and that led to the order of his Honour, which was complained of. The Learned Counsel, at considerable length, contended that his Honour was right in the view of the case he had taken, for it would 'wither be jas tice 11Q: equity to let the Defeudant proceed ris trial With the action, while he kept beak the evidence frimi the Plaintiff that was directed to be left with tlw Clerk in Court.
