EOPE ROOTT—;DEMIIREER, PLEA, MOTION. ICABL TALBOT V. ZIOPB SCOTT-MIA, WITS MOTION. In the first cause this was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendant from receiving the rents and profits of the settled estates of the late Earl of Shrews bury, and for a receiver, pending the establishment of the plaintiff's claim in the House of Lords as heir-at-law to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, and to restrain the de fendant from cutting down the ornamental timber on the estates. The Vice-Chancellor, in delivering j ud g ment this morning, was of o pi n i on th a t as the plaintiff bar! not made oat his cl a i m as h e i r - a t-l a w to the late Earl o f Shrewsbury, eith er i n th e H ouse of Lords or in a court of law, his Honour could not grant the injunction now asked for by the plaintiff. And for the same reason, that the plaintiff had not mace out his title as heir-at-law to the late Earl of Shrewsbury, his Honour said he must allow the defendant's demurrer to the plaintiff's bill, and dismiss th e bill. Th e plaintiff, however , might after wards establi s h hi s title as heir-at-law t o the late Earl of Shrewsbury. As to the defendant's p lea in the second cause, his H o n our th e Vi ce -Ch an cellor said that he would allow the plea o n th e plaintiff undertaki n g to re p l y b y next seal.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wigl2talan, and Mr. Justice Crompton ) NICHOLSON v. ELLIS. This was a special case for the consideration of the Court, under the Common Law Procedure Act, relative to the emoluments of the Clerk of the Peace for West• minster. The plaintiff is the Clerk of the Peace for Westminster, and the defendant is the Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex, and the plaintiff claimed certain emoluments as belonging to his office enjoyed by the defendant, which the latter contended wall given to him under the provisions of the Common Lay Procedure Act. Sir F. Kelly, for the plaintiff, contended that though the act of Parliament had merged the general sessions for Westminster into those of Middlesex, there was nothing in the act that took away from the Clerk of the Peace for Westminster the duties of his office, which continued to Exist, and ought to be paid out of the fees received. Sir F. Thesiger, for the defendant, urged that the act bad entirely abolished the sessions for Westminster, and transferred all the duties to the Middlesex Seasions. The office had ceased to exist, and the learned gentleman referred to this 12th section of the Common Law Pro• csdure Act, which provides compensation for the loss of office under the operations of that act.

The case has been so fre quently reported that it is scarcely necessary to state that he had carried on business as a diamond merchant, in St. Mary Axe, and had been committed for not satis factorily answering questions as to his property, and it was alleged that his mind was affected by his in carceration. His Honour said that he would allow the bankrupt to come up, on depositing the costs of all parties, but be wi.heel it to be under.tood that the bankrupt was not suffering any hardship from the process of this Court, from which be could relieve himself by answering the question put by the assignees, but he was detained on civil snits for want of bail.

The coroner's jury found the Hon guilty of the murder of his father, and on that charge he was com mitted for trial on the coronet's warrant. His mother was permitted to return to her family, and there it was thought the matter would end. It has turned out to be otherwise. The weekly petty sessions for the county were held on Wednesday at Blackburn, and shortly after the magistrates had taken their seats, Inspector M`Denald—we presume on account of some thing that passed between the justices, who issued their warrant—set off in a conveyance to Derwen, and appre. hended Catherine Kershaw in her dwellin g in Qaeen street. Her youngest daughter alone was with her in the house at the time ; but before she was removed some •tber members of the family came in Irons the mills. The inspector conveyed her to the lock-up at Blackburn. Manchester Guardian.

MEETING OF MIDDLESEX M'A OISTRATES. - - Yesterday a special court of the magistracy of Middlesex was held at the Sessions House, Clerken well, for the purpose of hearing counsel on behalf of the ceroners, Mr. Wakley, for the western division, Mr. Baker for the eastern division, and Mr. Bedford for Westminster, against the dis allowance of fees for holding inquests, which, in the opinion of the Finance Committee, who have to in vesi igate the coroners' account., were unnece-sary. Mr. Pownall, chairman of the county bench, pre sided, and the attendance of justices was rather numerous. It will not be out of place to state, by way of introduction, what fur some time past has been the practice of the court in dealing with the accounts of the coroners. They are referred to the finance committee, who inquire into the grounds upon which each particular inquest has been held, and if it appears to them that the grounds were sufficient to warrant an in quiry as to the cause of death, they recommend the payment of the fee to the coroner, which is li. Gs. Bd. in each case, and it is ordered by the Court as a matter of course ; but in instances wherein they consider there was no necessity for an inquest they either disallow the fee at once or adjourn the mater, requiring in the meantime the coroner to furnish them with any further informa tion he may be capable of affording as to the reasons for which the inquest was taken. The cost of in quests, to the county of Middlesex, amounts to something like 9,0001. a-year, and as the number has of late years been on the increase, the magis trates, as the guardians of the county funds, have thought it their duty to allow the coroner's fee only in such cases where there seemed to be an absolute necessity for an inquiry. It has been erroneously supposed that when the fees have been disallowed, the whole costs of the inquest were included. The only item that is disallowed is the coroner's own fee ; the other charges—witnesses' expenses, and money expended, being paid without dispute. Mr. Bodkin appeared as counsel for the coroners, and in a speech extending over three hours, and exhibiting great research and ability, placed their case before the court. He said the gentlemen for whom he appeared performed an important part in the administration of justice, and it was of the utmost importance that the office which they bad to execute should be entirely free and unhampered. The learned counsel dwelt at length upon the law baring upon the coroner's duties, from the time of Edward I. down to the present reign. Formerly the coroners were unpaid officers, but by the statute of 25th George 11., c. 29, it war enacted that they should be paid certain fees in cases "duly" held. That word "duly" had given rise to all the difficulties by which the whole matter was now surrounded, as well as an endless amount of liti gation. The Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of " The King v. the Justices of Carmar theushire," held that the legal meaning of the word " duly" involved that there must be a "necessity" for the inquest, but he was prepared to contend that if any inquest had been formally, regularly, and properly taken according to law, it must be considered as having been held "duly," within the meaning of the statute. The court ruled that it was a condition precedent to the pay ment of the fee that the inquest was " duly," that was of " necessity," taken, but that applied only to the coroner's GAM remuneration, and did net affect—indeed, nothing at present could affect -payments which the coroner had to make, and charge upon the county. The learned gentleman made some general observations upon the institution of coroner, and the vast importance with respect to the security of human life involved in the office being freely and independently exerdsrel, quoting the opinions of many eminent persons to that effect. He referred to the Reigeley poisonings, where, after medical certific itee hid been given of natural death, through the interference of one person, the coroner's investigation took place, and the result was, as all the world knew, the disclosure of one of the most diabolical systems o - murder ever planned; had it not been for that the grave would have closed quietly over the victims, and the murderer still left to pursue Ifs course of crime. In Stafford shire the rule was that no inquest should be held except in cases where there was suspicion of crime ; the result was that there were no inquiries into the cause of those deaths which afterwards beceme so notorious. He went seriatim through the cases in tee coroners' accounts in which the fee had been refused, in all of which they had been called upon to act, and besought the court to take the whole matter into serious consi deration and do justice to gentlemen filling honour able positiouu, and haying onerous duties to perform as pubis s .rvants. Oa the motion of Mr. P. N. LAURIE, who com plimented Mr. Bodkin upon hi ; clear and lucid argument, seconded by Mr. ARMSTRONG, the jus t;ces present formed themselves into a special com mittee to take the subject into consideration, and the court adjourned.

Even the finest samples moved off heavily, at barely previous rates. We bad a dull inquiry for both barley and malt, at Mon day's quo' ations. The supply of oats was very moderate. On the whole, the oat trade ruled steady, at full prices. No change took place in the value of either beans or peas. Tho flour trade ruled heavy, and country marks were lower to purchase.

Whatever may be the imperfections of this novel, it may certainly lay cleuseto the merit of origi- • nali y. The great point, the chief feature in the story, is the deafness of its hero. At first sight such an affliction appears peculiarly unromantic ; but, through the skilful management of the au thoress, it becomes the cause of numerous and im portantsuicide. events,The hero,including three rer lovee is introducedaffai s and tos Manley F possessing the e c t o inhar monious hi s us possessing all the favours of for ' tune, and within.. a shot period of his marriag e h e s h i n e devoted attachment , a lady g name of Barbara Girdlestone. When suddenly seized with deafness he writes to her in despair, offering to relinquish the engagement, and she, influenced by her friends, does not refuse to do so. Deeply grieved at this conduct be prepares to leave England, but first pays a visit to the family of his father's steward. This is a vulgar and unprincipled family of the name of Divot, who take advantage of his deafness, and, for the sake of his wealth, flatter and attend to bim, and by a series of successful ma nceuvres bring about an engagement between him and the youngest daughter of the family, Pbebe Divot. In the meantime we base been in troduced to Colonel Hussey and his intended bride, the former, a kind-hearted, honourable, but some what tedious, individual, and the latter a very singular and unattractive person. She has ac cepted Colonel Hussey as a matter of prudence, and prides herself on her strength of mind and general indifference to things and people. Having no house of her own, she passes some time with the Divets, on wbom she looks down with ineffable scorn and disgust, being in acts, if net in senti ments, very little better herself. She becomes strongly attached to the deaf hero, and after many agitations and disappointments, her ill-regulated mind and undisciplined feelings, drive her to com mit suicide. Maria Palliser, for such is her name, occupies a large portion of the book, her struggles and sufferings are laid bare to the reader with care and minuteness, yet jail to excite much sympathy for one so self-confident, yet so reckless, possessing more skill in outward self-command than inward delicacy of feeling. Barbara Girdlestone has long repented of her conduct, and made various'attempts to meet her former lover, all of whiell .are foiled by the expert Divots. The results of the hero's sudden recovery we leave to the reader to- learn for himself ; but the I..ct might have been turned to greater a ivautage, for effect, by the autborets. Thus tee affliction of the hero, which appeared at first to shut him out from all prospect of matri monial happiness, ends in his having, ashu remarks, "Three chances." The relative value of the three is easily decided. The family of the Divets is a very large one, and is irredeemably odious. Their extreme vulgarity makes them appear overdrawn. Thera are many other characters in the story iu addition to those men' ioned—Richard Cranston, afr end of Frere's, being prominent. But there are very few in whom the reader can feel an interest ; and the presence of so many vulgar and Io e-minded scheme's, renders parts of the book somewhat tedious. A few more incidents would have relieved it. Howeve the main idea is novel and striking and not unnatural. The authoress, though she sets herself, iu conclusion, to plead the cause of deafness and its numerous mitigations and compensations, has proved the opposite side of the quetion. It was eetirely owing to his infirmity that, Fr,-re was involved in the meshes of the Divets ; that be was deceived by his friends, and imposed upon by his enemies ; that he became unconsciously the cause of Maria Pallisei's self-destruction ; and that he narrowly escaped life-long misery. The style is somewhat verbose and weighty, but the book dis plays considerable _talent, and the plot is so novel and striking that it will most probably become a favourite with the public. Buchan,. By the Re;- : J. B. Pratt, M.A, Black- wood and Sons. A pleasant and well written volume on the dis trict of Buchan in Aberdeenshire. The antiquities and archrcological curiosities of the neighbourhood, the natural wonders, the towns, their population, monuments manufactures, k,c. The historical and geographical information belonging to it, and last, nit least, the of l ballads and traditions that it lays claim to, are mingled in very attractive variety. It has lately becJrne the fashion to devote a volume to a thorough examination of the history and natu ral peculiarities of some particular district, and it seems to be a sensible and successful method. While the residents or natives of the locality must, of course, regard such a work with especial interest, thei e ate many readers who are ni,t connected with it, who may be glad to gain some information about it w hich is not likely to be found in guide bo , )ks or 1 histories. This is more esptci illy the case if any craarkshle event has occurred diere, or any nota bility clsims it as his birthplace. We mu,t not omit to mention the illustrations, which are nume rous and of a superior character. Some of the engravings represent very pretty views. Many will find something to intsrest and entertain them in this little volume. The Banker's Wife. By Mrs. Gore. New Edition. Knight and Sun. This is one of Mrs. Gore's well-known and Popu larnoveli, and forms one of Knight and Co.'m cheap serves of novels. Its chief feature is the alteration of its dedication. It will be remembered that it was inscriLed to Sir Jobn Dean Paul on i a first appearance, "when," says the authoress, "I was far from foreseeing that my own fortune would be come partially involved in a catastrophe similar to the one described in its pages," and though she gracefully remarks that to advert to the conduct of her former banker and trustee would now be un generous, she very naturally withdraws the eulo gistic dedication that would now appear a mockery. The book, like its predecessors, is printed in excel lent type, and hsudsom ly bound. THE DEFENCE OF LUCKNOW. (From the homeward Mail from India and China ) The following short, but interesting narrative is extracted from a letter received from Captain B. P. Andatson, - Assistant Commissioner at Lucknow, who commanded the outpost during the whole siege, and of %Them Oolonel Inglis writes : "At Captain Anderson's post, they also came boldly forward with scaling-laddtrs, which they planted agaiiia the wall ; but here, as elsewhere, they were met with the most indomitable reso lution ; and, the leaderi ,being slain, the rest fled, leaving the ladders, and retreated to their batteries and loop-holed defences, from whence they kept up for the r:.st of the day au unusually heavy cannonade and musketry fire." CAWNPORE, Nov. 30, 1857.—We were very glad, 1 astire you, to see the first relieving force under Havelock and Outran). They saved us, as we were getting very weak in numbers; but their force was small ; and alter fighting its way into Lucknow, it could not get out with us, as we bad so many ladies, children, and treasure in cash. The chief, however, made ample arrangements, and we left Lucknow on the 22d November, at midnight, in solemn silence. I lost all I had of value ; the lamps were burning as I left my house. I commanded an outpost during the whole siege. I had 10 men of the 32d Foot and 10 volunteers, in cluding 1 subalternofficer. My house (which was an. outpost, facing the road leading in fi om Cawnpore, blockaded), th e l atte was r building, com p and to the flout of th e residenc y , command ing a road, a branch of which oo w n o cl u e l d d e, le w ac a l to l a e n te d lybattered wilieb'l to bits.

I could not get in any further up the gallery,as therein had caused it to fill in; but it was c ut muc h f urt h er; so the distance was very li ttl e front my house ; and had they succeeded, we could have all been blown into eternity at any moment. I had to wash my own clothe., cook, & e. , • in fact, t o d o every wor k l i k e a coo li e, an d t o k ee p. .. nay house proof from shot. On one occasion a shell came through the wall where I was firing from and knocked all the bricks about my head. I saw the fuse, and ran to get into the next room ; but it exploded as I was just opposite it, and threw me on my face ; but, strange to say, I was not iu the least hurt. Another shell burst, and a bit struck me on the boot ; but I was not hurt for more than a day or so ; it did not cut the skin even. 1 went out to charge a bat tery in a garden ; and after getting right under a gun, which was mounted upon a high ridge, I was firing away as fast as I could at the enemy, when a shower of !nicks and stones were hurled at us down below ; and one hit me on the fore head, and brought me on the flat of my face to the ground. My nose was a little cut, and I felt faint, and fancied Iliad been hit by a round shot, but I got some water, and was able to hold out all daywith the troops. It was a dangerous affair. Outram sent 500 men to take the garden and guns. and said he would give 10,000 rupees if this was done. I got up first, and Napier said we could r o t t get further • so we held the p lace, but did no e. _ q a . $ to we was shot Clean the guns till next day. I was here very nea• rl Y too, by an arrow.
