MOI VEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, TWELVE o'CLocx. The commercial bills due yesterday, the 4th of the month, were met with promptitude except in one instance, Messrs. Lloyd, Beilby, and Co. being unable to provide for their acceptances. The absence of remittances and the recent altera- tion in the Money Market are the causes as signed for this misfortune, which, however, has occasioned much surprise, as the firm in question was considered wealthy, and were largely engaged as Australian merchants. They were also the financial agents of the New South \Vales Government, and their connexions were numerous and influential. The suspension, however, may be only temporary, and although their liabilities are roughly estimated at £lOO,OOO, payment in full is not considered improbable. In other respects the monthly liquidation of commercial paper passed off in a satisfactory manner, notwithstanding the recent advance in the minimum rate of discount. The tendency of the Money Market, however, is still very unfavourable, and increased stringency is apprehended. The efflux of gold, diminished con fidence, and the pressure for accommodation, all point to the probability of another immediate alteration in the financial regulations of the na tional establishment. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, and prices _exhibited a further decline. The sales amounted to between 4,000 and 5,000 bales. In the Rail way Share Market a moderate business was transacted, but quotations were de pressed. A further sum of about £BB,OOO was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for exporta tion to the Continent. Advices received from New York to the 23d April report continued abundance in the money market. The exchange on London, at 60 days' sight, was firm, at 110 per cent., which admits of profitable shipments of gold to this country. The half-yearly meeting of the Vauxhall Bridge Company was held to-day, when a dividend of 1 ls. per share for the half-year was declared. Two o'CLocK. ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. A further alteration has been been made in the discount regulations of the Bank of England, the directors having announced an advance of One per cent. in the minimum quotation, namely, from 31 to 41 per cent. This important measure appears to have been generally expected, EIS the previous advance—namely, from 21 to 3-1,- per cent.—failed to check the efflux of gold, or the demand for accommodation. A continuance of the same influences will prepare the public for even higher rates, especially as the Continental banks are mostly increasing their terms of interest and discount. In the English Stock Exchange to-day the operations have been extremely limited. The rise Made by the Bank, however, has produced no effect and prices are maintained in consequence of the scarcity of stock and the continued investments of the public. Amounts ranging from £lOO to £l,OOO are being employed in the purchase of Con sols, little attention being paid to Turkish and other securities, which have been even more depressed. At the present moment the market appears buoyant, prices being about per cent. higher than at the close of business yesterday. Consols, Which had been 891 901, are now 90 to 901. Bank Stock continues flat, at 215 to 219. The New Threes and the Reduced at 88 to 891 ; Ex chequer Bills at 15s. to 225. prem. ; India Loan Debentures at 921 ; and the Bonds at 30s. to 20s. discount. The New India Scrip is dull, at 3 discount, being marked 911. A fair amount of business is recorded in Foreign Securities, and in most cases a further decline is apparent in prices. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 58 to 65 ; ditto New, 48 to 52 ; and the 4 per Cents. are steady at 991 ; Venezuelan Deferred at 142 ; Portuguese at 40 ; and Spanish 3 per Cents. at 39 ; but the Deferred receded to 251 ; Russian 42 per Cents. to 913; Sardinian to 672 681 ; Mexican to 16a 17; Buenos Ayres Deferred to 16; and Dutch 41 per Cents, to 92.

The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was resumed this morning. Mr. Browne was heard for the appellant. This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls The contest is whether a tenancy was created by the mortgage deed in question or a mortgage security only. Mr. Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the respondent. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) CLIVE V. CAREIV.-JUDGMENT. Under three articles of indenture of equal date (July 21, 1855), entered into by the defendants, Mr. and Mrs. Carew, on their marriage, certain jewels, and in particular a pearl necklace of the value of £7OO, and other articles of the value of £l,OOO, were settled on the lady for life, with remainder to her first and only son, and the rest of the articles therein mentioned were settled for her separate use. Then by another indenture of the same date, she had an interest in leasehold property consisting of rents, to be paid to her without the power of anticipation. The circumstances that occurred were these, and such as have not hitherto arisen and may not arise in future. This chattel (pearl necklace) of value, in which the children had an interest, was first pawned and then sold by her. And the question raised is, whether the estate settled to her separate use can be applied so as to make the loss sustaine d by this breach of trust on her part. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor observed that she had a separate estate, for her separate use—that she was, as to these estates, in the situation of a femme sole; her husband had no control over her, and she had the property without the power of anticipation. No matter whether the breach of trust was committed by a male or female, such separate and distinct property was liable to make good the loss. His Honour, on the authority of the decision in "Jackson v. Hibbart," by Lord Eldon, held that the lady's separate estate was liable to pay the value of the pearl necklace sold by her, and directed an inquiry to ascertain the value of the necklace, and what portion of her separate estate required to be sold. Costs up to the hearing to be taxed by plaintiff and defendant, as between solicitor and client, with liberty to apply. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) MOTION FOR DECREE.-BOUSTEAD V. BROMLEY, SMITH V. _ _ BROMLEY, BROMLEY V. SMITH. The further hearing of this part-heard motion was re sumed this morning. _ . _ Mr. Schomberg is now being heard for the defendants, Boustead and others. QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord _Campbell, and Justices Crompton, Coleridge, and Hill.) SCULLY V. INGRAM-TUE SADLZIR, ERAUDS. This morning Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., On the part of the defendant, Mr. Ingram, appeared in court to show cause against the rule obtained by Mr. Boviß a short time ago, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the ver dict given for the plaintiff, with £3OO damages, should not be set aside under a new trial granted. It will be recollected that the action was originally brought by Mr. Vincent Scully, formerly M.P. for the county of Cork, against Mr. Herbert Ingram, P. for Boston, for falsely representing himself as the owner of tloe estate of Castle Hyde, situate in that county. Mr. Scully charged him with doing that falsely and fraudu lently, and with the view of deceiving him, and said he had been injured and prejudiced thereby, and been prevented obtaining the payment of a debt of £9,000 due to him ICom the late John Sadleir. Previous to the commencement of the arguments Lord Campbell proceeded to read his notes of the evidence taken at the trial, which occupied the court up to a late hour in the afternoon. The case is expected to occupy the court the whole of to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A NEW LAW OF EJECTMENT.—WiIIiam Curle, a re spectable-looking middle-aged man, was charged with annoying the neighbourhood of Hand-and-Pen-court, in which place he resides. Prisoner's landlord said that Curie occupied a furnished room in his house. He was the terror of the court, and threatened to set his room on fire. The Lord Mayor bound the prisoner over to keep the peace, and said that if he would leave the apartment to-day no further steps would be taken. The prisoner demurred to this somewhat peremptory notice, but was ultimately induced to agree to the terms. COMMITTAL OP A DARING AND NOTORIOUS SMASHER. —John Coleman, a well-dressed man, aged 40, who re fused his address, was charged with uttering counterfeit coin. John Tany, warehouseman to Mr. Barclay, stationer, of Bucklersbury, said that on the 27th April last, the prisoner came to the shop and purchased 36 receipt stamps, paying for the same with a bad half-crown and a sixpence. The sixpence was good, but witness did not discover that the half-crown was counterfeit until the prisoner had left the shop. Yesterday prisoner again visited the shop and purchased 36 receipt stamps, tendering a second time a counterfeit half-crown and a sixpence. On this occasion witness bent the half-crown in prisoner's presence, and mentioned the circumstance of the first counterfeit. Pri soner gave witness a good half-crown and left the shop. He was, however, soon brought back in custody of police constable, 418. He refused to give a name or address. A witness named Clegg, in the same employment as the first witness, said that the prisoner passed a counterfeit florin at prosecutor's shop on the 30th of April. The prisoner declined to examine any of the witnesses, and the Mint solicitor, who attended on behalf of the autho rities, asked for his committal. The officer said he found all good money on the prisoner. Mr. Martin (chief clerk) said the prisoner would not be committed this time for misdemeanour, but for felony, and the former convictions would be proved against him. The prisoner was then formally committed for trial. A JEWISH WOMAN BEATER.—Edward Levy, who was placed in front of the dock, was charged, on a summons, with assaulting a woman named Page. The defendant, whose youthful appearance astonished the Lord Mayor, was about seven years of age. Plaintiff averred that he was very saucy, and struck her two blows in the eye. Defendant's mother attended and attempted to justify the assault but the Lord Mayor bound her over, on behalf of her son, to keep the peace. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A SOLDIER'S MEDAL.—EIiza Kelly and Hannah Carmichael were charged with stealing a Turkish medal, of the value of 12s. 6d., the property of George Hett, a private in the 3d battalion Grenadier Guards, St. George's Barracks. From the evidence of the soldier it appeared that on the previous night he was in the Round House public-house, Wardour-street, about half-past 11, with some friends, having at the time two medals on his breast—one a Crimean, the other a Turkish one—when he suddenly missed one of them. Benjamin Morrell, of 56, James-street, Oxford-street, upholsterer, deposed that he was in the house with a friend, and particularly noticed the soldier on account of the medals on his breast. The soldier was sitting down and Car michael put her hands round his neck with the view of keeping him from rising, and directly after he observed the medal was gone. The other prisoner was close to them at the time. Frederick Chadwell, of 40, Dean-street, corroborated a portion of the above. Sarah Moggridgv, barmaid at the Round House, said, seeing the soldier had been drinking, she kept a close obser vation of the females who were talking to him, and after Carmichael had left him she saw Kelly throw the ends of her shawl over him, and directly after observed that the medal was gone. She spoke to Mr. Barrett, her employer, and he went after Kelly, who had just left the house, and brought her back, but the medal was not found. Car michael seemed to have been drinking, but did not appear to know the other prisoner. Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said Kelly was only dis• charged the previous day. The evidence not being conclu. sive, in a case of felony, _ _ Mr. Bingham said he should remand Kelly, but discharge certuicheel, ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. MIDDLESEX NOMINATION.

THE RACE. The jockeys drew lots for places, but their relatlive posi tions were immaterial, as the "ranks" were not kept. Queenstown was number one, next the rails, and in the front lot with her were Roo ' vrethorpe, Bankrupt, Olympias, Royal Sovereign, Polestar, Wrestler, Lifeboat, Underhand, Master Begot, Prioress, Raspberry, Roman Candle, The Brewer, Wilton, and Mr. Sykes. After a little delay, caused principally by Cawood, King William, Raspberry, and Wrestler, and the disinclination of Leamington to come near the front, Mr. Hibburd dropped his flag to an admirable start. On settling into their places Raspberry took up the running, with Underhand, Coroner, Master Begot, Herne, Rosabel, Satinstone, Lifeboat, Rogerthorpe, Leamington, and Pensioner clustering wellup. In the rear were Prioress, Olypias, and Thornhill. Raspberry went on with the run ning to the Castle Pole turn, where Leamington came through his horses, cannoned against Lifeboat, whom he nearly upset, but going on at his ease, and, without let or hindrance, won by two lengths. Herne, Botany, and Prioress, who came together on getting into the straight, finished at an interval of a length each; Royal Sovereign was a moderate fifth ; Fisherman, Coroner, and Rosabel headed the next lot. The rear rank comprised Roman Caddie, Harraton, Sam Spode, and Rara Avis. The last, trotting in, was Wrestler. SCRATCHINGS.—OId Robert, Arsenal, Drogheda, Jordan, 1 and Yorkshire Grey were struck out on Tuesday. Defender was scratched at 12 o'clock . this day (Wednesday).

The weather was warm, the racing interesting, and the attend ance larger than on any preceding anniversary of the meet ing. From the above return it will be seen that Leaming ton achieved a triumph beyond parallel. He won the race in 1857, and to carry off the Cup twice has never fallen to the lot of any other racehorse.

BIRCHAM AND OTHERS V. WALKER The facts of this case were placed on the judge's notes at the trial, and the learned judge, Mr. Baron Martin suggested that the judges of this Court should lay down the law, and also draw any infe rences which were to be drawn from the facts. It appeared the plaintiffs, three in number, were members of the firm of Birchams and Parmiter, brewers, at Reepham, in the county of Norfolk. The defendant had petitioned the Insolvent Court, and the question was whether he had given sufficient notice to the plaintiffs, so as to bar their right to recover their debt against him in this action. The notice had been directed io "Messrs. Birchring and Parmiter, brewers, Run ham ;" it thus contained two errors, one in de scribing the "Birchams" as " Birchring," and the other in describing their place of business as at the small village of " Runham," instead of the town of " Reepham, ' which was thirty or forty miles dis tant. It was admitted that the notice never reached the plaintiffs, who knew nothing about the defen dant's insolvency till twelve months afterwards. Mr. Honyman was heard for the plaintiffs. Mr. Pearce was heard for the defendant, and cited a Nisi Prius decision by Mr. Justice Cresswell (5, Bing. N.C., 68), in -which it was held that such a notice was sufficient, if there was a reasonable pro bability that it would reach the party. Lord Campbell said that, as the fact was referred to the Court, it might be a question whether the Court should be unanimous. His lordship then proceeded to say that the proper question of law was put by Mr. Justice Cresswell—viz., whether there was reasonable expectation that the notice would reach the creditors. That was the question which he (Lord Campbell) asked himself ; and, answering it as a juryman, he should say that the notice might reasonably be expected to reach the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs were eminent brewers at Reepham, and probably known by every post master in the county; but there was no brewery at Runham, and the probability was that when the letter reached there itwould be sent on to Reepham. His lordship thought the mistake in the name, " Birchring" for " Bircham," was immaterial. His lordship added that this was a mere question of fact,,and could not be a precedent for any other case; and that he was much influenced in his opinion by the fact that the plaintiffs were emi nent brewers. There was no reason to suppose that the defendant had attempted any fraud, but he had done his best, and what was likely to gain the object the Legislature had in view. Mr. Justice - Erle said that on the question of law the members of the court were all agreed. But they had also to answer the question in the capa city of jurymen. The foreman of the jury (Lord Campbell) was of opinion that the plaintiffs were " eminent brewers ;" but he (Mr. Justice Erle) could not see that they were such brewers that the letter was likely to reach them. He was glad, however, that the defendant was on other grounds entitled to the judgment of the court. Mr. Justice Crompton said the onus of proving that a right description had been given lay on the defendant; and that if a wrong description had been given, so as not to be likely to get to the plaintiffs, it would be insufficient, though there was no fraud. As to the facts, his lordship said he was not without doubt, but still he did not dissent from what had been said by the Lord Chief Justice. Mr. Justice Hill said he thought there was a reasonable probability that the notice would reach the plaintiffs, and that the rule should be made absolute, to enter the verdict for the defendant. Rule absolute accordingly. In the Insolvent Court Mr. Commissioner Murphy, this day, alluded to the above important decision, and informed the gentlemen of the bar that he would henceforward act in accordance there with, The learned Commissioner has always evinced a strong objection to mere technical objec tions, and yesterday overruled three raised by a very eminent barrister. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at, Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Mr. Justice Williams and a Common Jury.) COOPER V. LLOYD-ADULTERY AND CONDONATION. This was an action to recover £l2 for board and lodging supplied to the wife of Captain Lloyd, R.N., who denied his liability. Mr. Laxton and Mr. Patchett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Francis for the defendant. Mr. Laxton in opening the case said that the action had originally been brought in the Lambeth County Court, but had been removed at the instance of the defendant into the superior court, upon the ground that important questions of law were in volved in the case ; and, indeed, the question of adultery and condonation of adultery must arise. Mrs. Lloyd married in 1847, and after a few weeks' residence with her husband in the island of Jersey he went to the East Indies on service, and was away for three years. During his absence disputes took place between some members of his family and Mrs. Lloyd, and she in con sequence left Jersey and went to her brother, at Fort George, Inverness. Whilst there she became acquainted with Mr. Winslow, with whom she committed adultery, and a child was born. When Captain Lloyd returned his wife visited him at Chatham, and having confessed her fault her offence was condoned, not only by Captain Lloyd's forgiveness, but by his sleeping with her after wards. The learned counsel then detailed the facts deposed to by the witnesses, and he also referred to passages in letters written by Captain Lloyd, to show the captain's knowledge of what had taken place. In one dated December 12, 1852, and ad- dressed to Captain Wragg, Mrs. Lloyd's brother, he said that he had seen Mrs. Lloyd, " and ulti mately succeeded in eliciting from her that she had had a child by Mr. Winslow ;" and he added, " she confessed what she had done, which I have in her own handwriting, and I forgave her." In another letter addressed to his wife the captain said, " What a twofaced blackguard your brother is, to let a sister of his nourish an illegitimate child to my disparagement, morally and pecuniarily speaking ; " and the learned counsel explained that this was an allusion to the fact that Captain Wragg, in order to screen his sister, had said that the child, which was in his house, was his and not hers. Mrs. Sarah Winter, the plaintiff, was examined, and said—l have married my present husband since the commencement of this suit. In February last year I let some apartments, No. 4, Smirk's-road, Old Kent-road, to Mrs. Lloyd, at 7s. 6d. a week. I have boarded and lodged her ever since. My claim up to the commencement of the suit is .£l2. Mrs. Phillis Lloyd—l was married to the gentle man who is now Capt. Lloyd in 1857. I lived with him two months in Jersey, and after that he left for service in India. He had a sister and his mother close by our house in Jersey ; and after he had gone differences arose between me and his family. It was quite the talk of the island. I had a boy by Captain Lloyd, and when that child was about ten months old I left Jersey, and went to Fort George, the residence of my brother, who is in the Artil lery. I saw my husband at Chatham—l thing in December, 1852, or January, 1853. I was invited by him to go to Chatham. He wrote to me to go to the Sun Hotel, and he would meet me. I arrived there, and found he had engaged a room for me. I stayed there that night. I afterwards went to other lodgings in Chatham. He askedme to give him an account of the time I had been absent, and hinted that I had been unfaithful, but he said what hurt him most was my want of confi dence in not confessing to him, and that if I did confess he would forgive me. He did not say the last part, but he hinted it. He took me to Ham mond-hill, Chatham, where his son was, and it was there that I remained a week or more. On the first day he stayed with me at the hotel until even ing, and then went to his ship. I confessed to him in writing that I had been unfaithful to him, but I afterwards contradicted it. I told him I had had a child, but not by Mr. Winslow. He read over the written confession twice. I was seated in an arm chair. He came and knelt down at my feet, and kissed me on the forehead, and said, "Phillis, I forgive you; and will receive you as my own dear wife, the same as if this had never happened." He tore the paper, and said, " I tear this up, that it shall never bear witness against you." After he tore up the paper we had a long conversation toge ther. He said he was afraid of its getting wind in the service, but if, putting our two heads together, we could arrange any plan so that it would not be known, h e should be very glad. We accordingly arranged between us that I should go to Fra n ce time, with the two children, remain there s ome and when I returned say the child wassksoedhild. much you Mr. nge Winslowr than he really was. if was the fatherH of the c I said he was. He said he was a r ich man, and said ought to pay well for his folly; an a out also on half that if he had suf fi cient money to t a g nd I should go a pay he would go on the continsaeind that I had £2OO with him. Hearing that, I with the children. I "in should go to France w a year, and then, as I tell you , he settled that I Winislhoawd alloze a d y m ea e r th al a l t o , w b e u a t m i e t fermi" that Mr. Captain Lloyd offered me money, b w y a s m n r o . t w t n e s low. h . my husband had but I declined to take it.

The following morning he had changed his mind ; he thought I had better not remain at Chatham, but go back to my lodgings in L on d on with the child. I have never seen Mr. Winslow since I confessed to my husband. Cross-examined—I let the house in Jersey for £1 ls. a week. I will swear my husband did not send me £4lO whilst he was in India; £l3O in 1848, I:105 in 1849, and £175 in 1850. I might have received the former sum, but certainly not the latter. Mr. O'Malley—Was it at Inverness that Mr. Winslow became the father of your child ? Witness—l have not said it was Mr. Winslow's child. Mr. O'Malley—But he was the father ? Witness—He was not. I will not tell you who was the father. Mr. Winslow did allow me £4O a year. Mr. O'Malley—What for ? Witness —Because I was poor and in want. He never offered to allow me £lOO a year. There was no bond prepared for that purpose. I asked him if he would allow me more than £4O a year, and he said he could not. Mr. O'Malley —Why did you ask him to allow you more than £4O a year ? Witness—Howcould I exist on that. He allowed it me for friendship. He was a most intimate friend of my brother. Mr. O'Malley you say he is not the f a th er o f the child ? Witness—No, I did not. Mr. O'Malley—Then what do you say ? Witness—l say I refuse to answer the question ? Mr. Justice Williams —You most unquestionably said so. Do you say he is the father of the child ? Witness—Am I bound to answer that question ? Mr. Justice Williams—Yes, why not ? Witness—Well, then, I will tell the truth ; he is. He allowed me the £4O a year for the support of the child. He miy have given me as much as £3OO. I may have had - 0 500, includinc , the money for some railway shares, which Mr. Winslow sold for me. Mr. Winslow had a wife and family living with him. He visited at my brother's house and I visited at his. After I left Inverness Mr. Winslow saw me in London. My second child was born in Dublin. I went to Belgium before I went to Dublin. During this time Captain Lloyd's child was with my aunt in Jersey. I went up the Rhine. I was on the Continent two months, and I was in Dublin five or six months before I was confined. Mr. Winslow paid the expenses of these journeys. He went with me on the Continent, and afterwards to Dub lin. He did not remain till the child was born. Ido not know where he is now. He was in Ger many when I last heard from him. That is more than two months ago. Ido not know whether it is three months. I have not seen him since two months before the birth of my child. Mr. Winslow and I lived together. I cannot recollect where, but I think it was at the Bedford Hotel. It was nine months before the child was born. The child was baptised at Greenwich as Edwin Isidore Lloyd. When Mr. Winslow lived with me I passed as Mrs. Winslow. I was in Paris for three years, and I paid my own expenses. I had money, and I did embroidery. In the latter part of 1856 I lived at Grey's -cottage, Nelson-street, Greenwich, and was confined of my child there. Capt. Lloyd is the father of that, child. I told Captain Lloyd of it on board ship. Mr. O'Malley—On your oath, did Capt. Lloyd ever know of it till this moment ? Witness—Yes. It was a girl. Early in 1856 I came over from Paris to see Capt. Lloyd, and I saw him at Chatham. I brought my second child with me. The third child is dead. On the occasion when my husband forgave the adultery, I told him that I had been surprised in consequence of having been drugged by Mr. Winslow, and that I had never had any intercourse with Mr. Winslow except on that occasion on which he drugged me. I have said that Captain Lloyd remained in my room all night after I had confessed. That was the night of the day on which I had taken poison. Mr. O'Malley—Had you not taken poison be cause he refused to live with you after your avowal ? Witness—For the present he did. That was why I took poison. I tried to poison myself. My husband was out walking when I took the poison. It was laudanum. He gave me emetics. I was very ill all night and the next day. - Mr. O'Malley—Did you ask him as a dying request to spend the night i n y our ro o m ? Witness—l did not. I did ask him, but I did not tell him I was dying. The emetics were given to me immediately. I swear he slept 'with me that night. I have a recollection of what occurred. I do not know the name of the hotel. Ido not know Chatham. I went back to Paris. I saw him in the summer of 1857, after my third child was born. This was on board the Edinburgh. I told him of the third child. My husband invited me to dine at the mess. Captain Halstead, who commanded the vessel, did not turn me out of the ship. I begged to see him, because the moment I began to speak of money my husband changed from being kind, and said he would give me nothing till my brother signed the deed of separation. Captain Halstead spoke very politely, and said ladies were not allowed to remain on board, an d h e cou ld not interfere between man and wife. Re•examined—My husband corresponded with me constantly•whilst I was in Paris. At the conclusion of this witness's evidence the further hearing of the case was adjourned until Thursday.

Principal Lee, which took place within his house, in the college, at an early hour on Monday morning. Principal Leo was one of the few survivors of the old race of Scottish divines and scholars ; and many will miss from our streets and bookstalls his venerable and well-known figure. His life was one of indefatigable industry ; though it is matter of regret that his numerous writings give but an inadequate impression of his great talents and extensive acquirements. In the General Assembly he filled the office of principal clerk, and on abstruse points of our early eccle siastical history he was an authority from whom there was no appeal. In 1844 he was elected to the Moderator's chair ; and many of the pastoral letters that from time to time were addressed to the church were from his pen. The late Principal was born about 1780, in a village on the Gala Water. He was for a time under the celebrated Dr. Leyden, and afterwards passed to the I7niverit3r of Edin burgh, where he took a degree in medicine. Subsequently, however, he entered the church, his first charge being a Scotch church in London. His next preferment was to Peebles, where he resided for four years ; and thus early rising to some degree of eminence, he was in 1812 elected to the chair of Church History in the University of St. Andrews. Dr. Lee, besides other appointments, afterwards successively filled the charges of the Canongate, Lady Yester's, and the Old Church in this city, until, in 1840, he was elected by the Town Council to the high office of Prin cipal of the University. In 1844 he was elected to the chair of Divinity in the University, which he held in _ con junction with the principalship. Principal Lee was one of the deans of the Chapel Royal, and a fellow of the Royal Society.—Edinburgh Courant. TT spec-. LA,DVERTISEMENT.) SIGHT AN .ri D R A Enco.
