I I a-ioniser the Vice-Catiocat.toa this day attended his Court for the last time previous to his sastansing the- office of Master of the Bolls and 4leliverrel an elaborate judgment in the above. canoe. it was a rase which had heels argued by Mr. Bell, for the Plaisitslf. soul by lir. Blake for the De fendaust. soul had been instituted *o long ago as the year 1793. It was it bill filed loy the creditors of Nott. for an administration of his meta, and to set aside a sale trade by I to his nephew. the Defeo(taut, Joist Nott, of an estate situated at Chichester. The sum given for the estate was 4,000/. but it was valued at the sum of 5.9001. The question in the case was. whether the made gooey of the price • war sufficient to call CHI the Coot to art aside the contract. on the ground of the insatirencv of the grantor at the time of the wale. The VicesCheucellor varied very ini routely into the history of the case. His Ho- nour observed. that the inadequacy of the price. in order to affect a sale made by an insolvent person . to the prejudice of hia creditors, must be so apparent. as at the first view of it to shock the conacience of every one who contemplated it ; it ' must be quite disproportionate to the value ; but in the press-in case, it wits iinpossible. looking at all the evidence, to ascertain whet wit., the p re ei, e value of the rotate in question at so rysnote a period as the 'ear 1793, when the trsioiaction took !dace. He apprehended if he referred the matter to the adass ter toast...rutin by inquiry what was the value at that 'levied, the difficulty and the expenie would be more than commensurate to the object. He took an entitle review of all the cases on this subject at the time of Lord Eldon, and cited his Lordlop's opinion in favour of , a sale made to the prejudice of cre ditors soder circumstances somewhat similar to the present. ILTiron the whole, he did not think it • transaction which at this distance of time lie ought to newsgirl ratid he was of opinion, that the Plain tiff had not made oust a cast sufficiently strong to induce him to set aside the contract, though tirade by an insolvent person ; and, entertaining this opi nion, it was his duty to dismiss the bill. POLICK. PAUPERS. The paupers are increasing is. a most alarming degree, and the necee.mily of distinguishing between those who have ' real claims npon the charity of the metropolis, and impos ters, has induced the town Maven to declare to those brought before him, that in all eases of imposition he will act with the greatest seve►ity the law will allow.

On Tuesday eveseing last, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of Step. aside, within six miles of Dublin, was visited by a thunder storm, which produced effects that sere, happily, rare in this country. The electric flicd struck the house of Christopher Borne, on the la n d * of Ballymaduff; knocked down the chimney and that part of the wall on which it stood, mid having entered the house, shivered to at a settle bed in. which two children lay. Such an agent, so violent in action, might have been expected to produce awful effects on subjects so exposed as these children were. Happily, however, they received no injury that will, it is hoped, be of any consequence—they were both severely stunned ; one of them cositi tttt es, in consesieure, still deaf; the hair of the bead, and of the eyebrows and eyelids., is much singed —on her head, neck, and body are several marks, sa if the skin had been torn by a hot sharp instrument.— Th e s kin of the back of her neck and of the ad joining lout of the back appears as if singed.— The other child was also for some time deaf, and has tonne marks of burniag. In an adjoining cabin, threat cows, tlw poor man's whole stock, were found dead. When the spot was visited on Thurs. day, their hides bad been taken off and their carcasses dismernlwred, so that nothing satisfactory could be seen as to the peculiar effects of the deadly element on the animal body. The blood is said to have been in a fluid state—the bodies emitted an exceedingly putrid odour, although it was may the second day after the accident. In one of them, where the short ribs join the spine, a space ap proved as if 11 severe bruise had been inflicted, and the blood.vessels and adjoining soft parts had been charred. The annuals were found on their knees— the cabin in which they were sustained no injury.

(From " The New Monthly Mago:ine") (Concluded from our Paper of Saturday For two years he was the constant and able champion of the °wield prerogatives of the King, Nobles, and Clergy in the Constituent Assembly. Whenever an innovation or merely an unprove• tnent was proposed, Maury stepped forth to de mand its rejection. It was enough that any of the revolutionary party hail submitted a project, tl in duce him to oppose it. He accordingly lutnclted his anathemas against whatever proceeded from the left side—lor lie was himself, of course, at the head of the right, and caused the rejection of "tally mischievous projects. but also of many beneficial plans, merely because they were recommended by his antagonists. By this course lie gave no check to the progress of the Revolution, but merely still more imbittered the enemies of the throne and the former order of things. Undaunted 'es; any threats, lie was never to he shaken, mid never lost his pre sence of mind. If his enemies cried out against him. lie overpowered them with his thundering voice, and defied them with iron front. The bare list of.all the speeches delivered by him in 1790 and 1791. fills several quarto pages in the index to the ltioniieur. Some of these speeches manifest the most splendid oratorical talents, and will sustain u comparison with the most celebrated harangues of 13iitish Senators. To these belong inure particularly those on the be. ditious visit of the peissardes and others of the too palace to Versailles; against the sale of the eccle siastical possessions ; on the regency ; and a re markable address against the union of the Papal territory of Avignon with France. Here he rivalled the great orators of antiquity : and those who heard him speak on this occasion, assert that he produced the most powerful effect— though not icdred upon the furious partisans of the Revolution. The ill soccer, of all his eloquence and zeal proves at least that he had no influence over the public opinion, and it is even doubtful whether Maury, with all his ardour for the interest of the throne, and with all his talents, was not of more detriment than benefit to the Royal Family. He at !coati, perceived the inutility of his efforts, and retired from the stage of politics. Several firm mowers of. Nlaury's to the people, who were excited against him and pursued him with menaces, are well known. On the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly he quitted France and went first to Germany, and afterwards to Italy, where Pope Pius VI. elevated him to the highest dignities of the Church, by nomi nating him Bishop in parlihof N _us _woes, and 1.0011 after Cardinal. On the advance of the French re publican army, be found it necessary to leave Rome, as Berliner had issued order' for his apprehension, anal reached Venice, as the Monitenr asserts, in the disguise of a carman. In the sequel he returned to Rome, and continued to profess. himself a warm adherent of the Ilonse or Bourbon, to whom Isis at tachment was considered the re lionourssble, as the Royal Family had since its exile been deserted by many of its former supporters. So much the greater was the astonishment of the French nation, when, in 1807, an humble letter, addressed by Maury to Bonaparte, appeared in the Nonitenr, with the addition that he was about to return to France. His submission robbed him of the high respect which he theis enjoyed, and all his subse quent proceedings only drew upon hint the public contempt. In 1810 he accepted from Bonaparte the appointment to the Archiepiscopal See of Paris, affected to be ignorant of the Pope's brief agaitst this nomination, was avaricious and servile, "stole pastoral addresses, alter Ilmaiparte's victories, in the style of the notorious bulletins ; and he, who was fro airily roomed as one of the Most witty and agree able companions, now became dull and wearisome in society. Tiff downfall of Bonaparte in 1814, threw him into great embarrassment. The newspapers imme diately printed the Pope's brief against him. and expressed theiropintau that it was high time far him to quit the archiepiscopal palace. Maury had much dillicalty W come to this resolution : but it was im possible fur him to remain at Paris, where he was made the butt of pamphleteers and caricaturists.— lie repaired to Italy, where hr was Archbishop and Bishop of Monte Fiascone and Corneto. At Rome he was put under confinement for his disobedietice to the pausal chair, but was released the year follow iug, and had recovered the favour of thy Routish Government when death carried Wm off after a short illness on the 10th May, 1817. Soon after his departure from Paris he printed a vindication of himself, which was an unimportant piece, and produced no great effect. He must have left a large fortune. as lie was extremely avari cious in his old age. Osi his elevation to the Arch bishopric of Paris., lie wrote to an old friend, who held a Vicariate in a provincial tows,, desiristr• hire to come and reside with him and share his good for tulle. His friend accordingly hastened to Paris, repaired to the new Archbishop's, and soon learned that good fortune was to consist iu taking care that the housekeeper, the cook, and the other ser vants did not waste the wood, candles, butter, tfcc. The good Vicar was filled with art • hinent at this con 'ssion, packed up his portmanteau the fol lowing morning, and returned-to his Vicariate. A friend of the writer of this biographical account having some business at Mechlin, applied to Maury for a letter of recommendation to M. de Prank, who had then been just exiled by Bonaparte to his See. Maury made a variety of objections ; but when these were easily answered, lie at last con fessed, that he could not possibly write to a person who was in disgrace. Hie nephew, M. Maury, has employed Canova, the celebrated sculptor. to erect a t for his uncle in the church of Santa Maria Nuo%a, where he is interred. We understand that a vessel lately arrived from St. Thomas's, with dates to the hrgiunirlt of No vember, briogs accounts that General Bot.tV AR had obtained two signal victories over the Spaniards, who, in consequence of their lo.►es, were flying in every direction.
