LA IF INTELLIGENCE.-(TIIIS DAY.) SPORTING NOTES. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) THE LIVERPOOL MEETING. APPEAL PETITION-JUDGMENT-IN RE DURAND'S TRUST This is an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls,declaring that Mr. Durand had sufficient notice of the first assignment of the reversion of £lO,OOO, by Mr. Fletcher, in 1821, and the second assignment of a fourth share thereof, in 1824, to Mr. Elliston, and that he was en titled to rank on his estate accordingly. The Lord Chancellor said, without expressing any opi nion as to the validity of notice of an assignment to a solici tor or trustee, I am of opinion that sufficient notice of this assignment was given to Mr. Durand himself. The order of the Master of the Rolls ought, therefore, to be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed with costs. Lord Justice Turner concurred. Lord Justice Knight Bruce dissented. The order of the Master of the Rolls was affirmed and the appeal dismissed with costs. The transit from Hereford to Liverpool will be easily accomplished. A " Special" will leave Here ford to-night, and will convey persevering tmfites, who never miss a meeting, to Liverpool in good time for supper, and they will have ample leisure to drop into the Waterloo, to talk with old Lynn about the coursing meetings and the doings," and to have a quiet chat with Topham about the pro spects of sport. To judge from the programme those prospects are encouraging enough, and their very brightness is calculated to make a November day as long as July. By a judicious arrangement the programme is unusually diversified, for it com prises almost every description of event. This sub• ject is not, however, a matter of surprise, for Mr. Topham has all the tact and all the experience to render his programmes attractive. To-morrow six races will be decided, and they will give ample em ployment to those members of the betting fraternity who may still deem the race-course more attractive than the coursing-field. Mr. 'Merry's nominations are, as usual, very strong, and his stable will be well represented. His patronage of the Liverpool Meeting seems, however, to be well rewarded, for he generally comes in for a fair share of the good things. He seems likely to carry off the Aintree Plate with one of his nominations—perhaps Aneu rin—although Adam Bede may cause him some alarm. For the Welter Cup I shall select Malton Messenger and Whitewall. If there be any truth in public running, either Little Dick or Curlew ought to win the Nursery Stakes. I know very little of Thursday's racing. Longford, I am informed, will win the Steeplechase. For the Autumn Cap, on Friday, I shall select Meg Merri lies. A FRESH MAN. BRITISH. POSSESSIONS.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Channel], and Martin.) SWINFEN V LORD CHELMSFORD-THE GREAT SWINFEN WILL CAUSE. This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the last sittings at Guildhall. The declaration charged the defendant that he, as the leading counsel for the plaintiff in an issue directed by the Court of Chancery to try the right as between her and the heir-at-law of the property of her husband, the late Samuel Swinfen, had wrongfully and fraudulently entered into a compromise prejudicial to the plaintiff's interest with the present Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, then Sir Alexander Cockburn, who was the counsel for the heir•at-law. Another account charged collusion between the noble defendant and Sir Cresswell Cresswell, then one of the justices of the Com mon Pleas, who tried the cause at Stafford. At the trial, in which Mrs. Swinfen appeared as the plaintiff and Lord Chelmsford as the defendant, the jury, after a long trial, found a verdict for the defendant on all the issues. Mr. Kennedy now moved on behalf of tho plaintiff for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, the non-recep tion of evidence, and that the verdict was against evidence. He stated that the second count, which charged collusion with the learned judge, Sir Cresswell Cresswell, would be abandoned. Premising that the general circumstances of the case were so well known as not to require preliminary discussion, the learned counsel proceeded to review the proceedings at the late trial, commencing with the formal proofs as to proceedings in Chancery and the Common Pleas, and the instructions to the defendant when Sir F. Thesiger, as Mrs. Swinfen's counsel, with the view of showing that it was known to him that there had been an offer of a compro mise by the heir-at-law, which had been refused by the plaintiff. For the defendant it was contended that the de fendant was only retained subject to his general right of counsel to conduct a case, and in support of this it was shown that two ladies who had been called for the plaintiff had, in their cross-examination by the Attorney-General, given such evidence as justified the exorcise of that right. The learned gentleman contended that the evidence given by the plaintiff's witnesses at Stafford, inreference to letters written by them as to the testator's state of mind, had been expected ; and although the circumstances were unfavourable, they were capable of explanation, and did not justify the defendant in compromising the case. The learned gentleman was proceeding with his argu ments when we went to press. The decision of the court is not expected before to-mor row afternoon. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Bill, 'White man, and Blackburn.) THE QUEEN V. BREWER. Mr. Bovill this morning moved for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why a criminal infor mation should not be filed against him. From the speech of the learned gentleman it appeared that the defend ant was the coroner for Newport, and the gentleman for whim he (Mr. Bovill) appeared was named Winslow, and the charge he made against Brewer was that he being a coroner held an unnecessary inquest, from ill-feeling, &c., on the body of Mrs. Winslow, about whose death from natural causes there was not the slightest suspicion. Mrs. "Winslow, who had practised in the town as a doctress, and had a considerable practice, at the beginning of April was taken ill, and during her illness she refused to have the assistance of a medical min, as she said she was perfectly cognizant of the malady under which she was labouring was incurable, and that it would cause her death. The lady died on the 12th of April, but the body was accordingly phced in a coffin, and before the funeral Mr. Brewer insisted upon holding an inquest. He was told that death was quite natural, but he prccured the assistance of the police to have the coffin opened. The inquest was held, and the result was a verdict of death had been occasioned by natural causes. The fees for tho inquest were charged to the Quarter Sessions, and the cer tificate justifying the holding the inquest, it was stated had been obtained after the investigation had taken place. The Court granted a rule to show cause. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OP STEALING A MERCHANTS WITCH.— SIVGULAR CASE.—Elizabeth Thatcher, a smart young female, was charged before Mr. Bingham with stealing a gold watch of the value of £l4, the property of M. Casimer Edmond Flydo Millondin, a French merchant, staying at the Sabloniere, Hotel, Leicester-square. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prosecutor; Mr. Albert interpreted the evi dence, and Inspector Webb watched the case on the part of the police. 4. De Millondin said he was a merchant at present staying at the Sabloniere Hotel. On the previous night he met the prisoner, and accompanied here to a house in Arundel-place (formerly No. 8, and the same house in which the female named Heloise Taubin was murdered by Lani, who, it may be remembered, was tried and ezecuted ) On entering the place he put his gold watch produced on the mantelpiece, and afterwards left the house, and en re tiring to his hotel missed his watch of the value of £l4. He went back, but it was gone. Mrs. Rachel Levy, the keeper of thehouse, proved going to a shell-fish shop/and seeing the prisoner there, and on asking her for the watch, she said a man who was with her had got it. Adolphus Picard, of 22, Great Russel-street, employed in a waterproof warehouse, said the prisoner came to him in an ice shop, and asked his advice, saying she had got 6s. 6d. from a gentleman and his watch. He advised her to search for the owner and to ;,ive it to him, and he assisted her for an hour in doing so, and on the last witness asking for the watch gave it up. Mr. Bingham said he thought it very excusable of the accused taking the watch, and ho placed credit on wLat the witness Picard said. The watch must be given up to the owner, and the prisoner be discharged from custody. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Nov. B.—Wind this day at nom, W.; strong breeze, and cloudy.

TAG° AND CoLLls.—Our aquatic readers may remember that John Tagg, jun., of Moulsey, and George Collis, of Hampton, contended, a fortnight since, from Thames Ditton to One-tree Foint at Ham, for £l5. On that occa sion Collis, while rowing level with his opponent, fouled a punt so seriously as to place him hors de combo', and Tagg rowed over far the stakes. Collis's friends were, of course, not satisfied with his defeat, and a second match was made for a like amount over the same course, Tagg to allow his opponent a length at the finish. Many persons repaired to the scene of combat yesterday, but they were considerably disappointed on learning that no match would take place. Collis, it seems, was taken so ill towards the end of last week that it was impossible he could row on the day fixedi and on Saturday night he forfeited the £5 he had staked. It is expected that, should Collis recover soon, he and Tagg may decide who is the best sculler ere the close of the year. PUGILISM. ISAAC BAKER AND DAN SKEYTE FOR £ioo.—The pugilistic encounter between these provincials, who both hail from the Pottery district, took place yesterday in the " home circuit." This is the second time they have con tended with the ropes, their first meeting having taken place on the 17th of May in the present year, when Skeyte won in the easiest manner. Baker being desirous of again tryiag conclusions with his opponent the present'wasmade. Skeyte had the advantage, being fully list. No time was lost in getting things in order, Skeyte, who won the toss for corners, was waited on by George Brown and John Holden, of Walsall, while Jemmy Welsh, with Tass Parker, waited upon Baker. Skeyte's partisans freely offered the odds of 2to 1. Although there were not any of those finished points, belonging to more able and scientific professors of the art exhibited, still the men fought gamely. Tho effects of Skeyte's want of condition became apparent, and the punishment he received had a telling effect. In the whole 19 rounds were fought, in the last of which Baker landed a right hander on the head, which knocked Skeyte down. The sponge was then thrown up in token of defeat, and Baker hailed the winner, the contest having , lasted 45 minutes. TIIIS DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

Mr. Disraeli, though he has taken service under the territorial aristocracy, is, after.nll, a man of the people ; and Lord Stanley, though always taking up, the cause of the people, has been bred in the tradi tions of the governing classes. This important dif ference shows itself, as it could not fail to do, in their treatment of popular education at the Man chester soiree. Mr. Disraeli gives his chief atten tion to the facts of the case; to the spontaneous growth, the rapid increase, and the federal union of the institutions under review ; to the proved fact of late competitors and prize-winners being of the class of mechanics ; and to the sort of law of Eng lish society that everybody made his own position, whatever it might happen to be. This he observed to be illustrated, not only in the House of Com mons, and in every assemblage of men, with a place in the political world, but in the widest scale, in the mutual relations of the most ordinary men. The moral he drew from this fact was that schools and mechanics' institutions, though founded by the people and fostered by the aristocracy, though in creasing and multiplying, though possessing and cir culating large libraries, still are useful only as they are used, and depend on the spirit and energy of the individual members. Nothing can be imagined more helpless than a youth with scarcely a smatter ing of education dropping into a reading•room without object or guidance, and making a faint effort to find in the books and papers around him some thing to fill a void or fix a vagrant imagination. There must be something to do, and this want is 'partially supplied by , papers, examinations, and prizes. Such is the train of thought very naturally pursued by the man who, rising out of the literary class by mere force of mind, has become the acknowledged spokesman and leader of our English country gentlemen. Lord Stanley seems to rest on the shortcomings of the movement. The system, he seems to think, ought to work well, and do what it professes to do. It ought to be more comprehensive ; it ought to embrace more minds under its influence ; it ought to make more and better scholars. They ought to smack less of their origin. This won't be done unless the State takes the matter in hand. The State will never do this unless the people make it. Gontlemen and suc cessful manufacturers will never go out of their way to help the working man to tread on their heels, so they must be compelled to do their duty. The-State, then, is to do the work, and to do it well. It must be a man's own fault if he Las not the very best education that he is capable of re ceiving. This is the American plan. There is no reason why we should not have it, except that the British people don't appear to value education, and therefore don't expect the State to keep an army of schoolmasters, as they do of soldiers, sailors, police men, revenue officers, ind other public servants. Such, more or less expressed, seems to be Lord Stanley's view of the question. Lord Stanley is not content with maintaining that every child should have the cpportunity of education. They who advocate an Established Church, Reformatories, a costly system of secondary punishments, pauper schools, and other modern institutions, would probably go along with him so far. He goes further. The education of which he is speaking is that which mechanics' institutions were founded to give, and that which it was designed to encourage by the examination of several hundred candidates and the distribution of more than a hun dred prizes on this occasion. The only institution that would answer this purpose would be an Ecole Polytechnique, ramifying into every village, every lane, every alley and court in this kingdom. Even what has been done in the course of this century has taken much education out of the hands of a very deserving and very useful class of teachers, and in troduced a State competition strangely at variance with all our notions of free trade. But Lord Stan ley would appear to make education altogether a national affair. The people themselves are to be the instruments of their own disqualification, for they are to force upon their rulers a compulsory system —compulsory as it certainly would be in the teachers, and in the matter of the education. No doubt, in the abstract there is much to be said even for this. It is still the law of the land for every man to frequent his parish church, and listen every Sunday morning and evening to the preacher whom a college, a bishop, a Lord Chancellor, or the Auction Mart may have assigned to him. The ancient law of the land still retains the odours of papacy and feudalism. It supposes a sacred polity and a patriarchal regime,,and only confesses in a whisper that it is unable to carry them out. But it sticks to them all the same, and in theory everything is done for the Englishman, including the salvation of his soul. On this theory there is no reason why we should not lave one great public school, the lower classes to be filled from the cot tage, and the higher to be draughted eventually into the Bench of Bishops, the College of Physi cians, the staff of the army, and so forth. But, as the theory is impracticable, it becomes a question of degree. The degree of education tc be offered to all, the mode of the offer, and what securities are to be taken for a proper use of the boon are matters for which experience is the best and only rule. When it is considered that, in addition to an immense number of ancient foundations, public institutions, and private establishments, the State is rapidly ap proaching an annual subvention of a million ster ling to the schools for the poor, it is evident that the State recognises Lord Stanley's doctrine up to a certain degree. He is strongly of opinion that it ought to go much further, and that the work before him, now done by voluntary institutions, ought to be done by the State. The examination papers, the judges, the prizes, the whole concern, ought to ba national. The people themselves should insist on the matter being taken out of their incompetent hands. Such a doctrine, we humbly 'conceive, ought not to be advanced without more explanation than has been given in this instance. As Lord Stanley must have been prepared to encounter with indiffe rence the popular jealousy of State interference and central management, it would, perhaps, be vain to insist on it now. But one consideration is simply sufficient to fix very low the standard of instruction that any State can presume to offer. The educa tion that is offered to all must first suffer some in- jury in being thus adapted to all, and then to a large portion of the scholars be offered in vain. Even in a village school it is only one in three or four, if so many, that will really feel and under stand the Gospel history, the manual of religious truth, and the few other simple things that make up its little stock of learning. Even this must be cut and dried, broken into questions, condensed into manuals, divided into heads, and made as formal as a tax paper. There is no help for it, when you have to deal with the simplest and rudest minds, and your instrument is a schoolmaster of the com mon sort, who has simply left one trade for another. But even this simple lore, this elementary disci pline, is too much for most of the children. It en ters at one ear and goes out at the other. It is for gotten, or only remembered to be worked some day into some religious system very different from that with which it was first associated. What, then, would be the result if the State attempted to offer to everybody a high degree of education ? The only result we can imagine would be an unwieldy system, professing much, doing very little, all kinds of instruction impove rished and vulgarised, and, after all, lavished in vain on careless and impenetrable natures. As things now are, if a youth has talent, or that energy which is talent, he is sure to find opportunity. lle teaches himself; he is taught; his own efforts conspire with the aids he finds or procures ; the result is a man not only educated, but able to turn his education to account. He enters the school with the key of knowledge already in his hands. He has the thread that guides him through the labyrinth. The school, or the office, or the kind friend—nay, the mechanics' institute, only adds a superstructure to a basis already existing. He seeks knowledge because ho has it. He brings to India the wealth of the Indies. All this is the ordinary and natural course under a state of society which only abounds in opportunities; and does not grasp at all and attempt every thing. Lord Stanley may only wish to increase opportuni ties, and make the State somewhat more of a school master than it now is. He may wish us to feel our way. If so, he ought to explain; for when he in vokes the aid of the Lancashire people he certainly seems to promise them something very different from anything now in the land. EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.—The election for the office of rector will, it is expected, lie between Mr. Gladstone, M.P., and Lord Neaves, one of the judges of the Court of Session, the other names mentioned having been with drawn. The election will take place on Saturday next, be• tween 11 and 1 o'clock, the voters (matriculated students having class tickets for the present session) being divided into hundreds, and voting in different class-rooms, and the Professors conducting the poll. At 1 o'clock the Professors will assemble in the Senate-ball, and the different lists will be examined, and a certificate, signed by the Principal, will be posted up declaring the result of the election. The con stituency, it is expected, will number from 1,200 to 1,400. On Saturday last the Sonatas Academicus unanimously made choice of Professor Christison to represent them in the University Court. This Court, in which is vested the practical government of the University, will con sist of eight members—viz., the Rector, and an assessor to be appointed bi him, an assessor appointed by the Chancellor, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh (Mr. F. Brown Douglas), the Prin cipal (Sir David Brewster), the Assessor of the General Council (Mr. Maitland), the Assessor of the Senatus (Pro fessor Christison), and the AsSessor of the Edinburgh Town Council (Bailie Grieve). The first three offices have to be filled before the Court is constituted. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The recent boister ous weather has rendered the prosecution of the herring fishery on the eastern coast both difficult and dangerous. The quantity of fish taken has, of course, diminished con • siderably. Prices have remained firm at £l3 to £l5 per last (10,000 fish). BANK RETURNS.
