COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chatle4lor.) ELLIS V. ELLIS. This was an appeal from an order of Vice• Chancellor Sir John Stuart, affirming the certificate of his chief clerk in taking acoonnts between the parties in this cause, The Lord Chancellor said that he had already disposed of a great number of the objections taktn to the certificate of the chief clerk in the course of the argu ments in the cause. His lordship, since the hearing, had carefully gone over and ( unlined a great mass of affidavits, in order to see that nothing relevant was over lonked. His lordship said that be could not disturb tie findings in the Vice-Ohancellor's decree either upon the accounts or costs of snit. The first item which the Vice-Chancellor allowed is a sum of 4161. for the maintenance and education of the plaintiff and the other children until he attained the see of 25. His lordship thought it a reasonable and sufficient sum to be allowed at the time it was before him, but his lordship allowed the Chief Clerk to investigate into the circum stances, and he was also of opinion that that was a suitable amount. His lordship would not set aside that finding. With regard to the sum of 681. 5e., it might have been allowed to the widow if hi h e had not remained in the house, but his Lordship was clearly of opinion that it was properly disallowed by the chief clerk. The next item objected to, a sum of 1211., b( ing interest on a mortgage for 6501., hie Lordship was of opinion that it was properly allowed by the Vice- Chancellor. The case to be spoken to as to costs in the cause (after the recess) on the 20th current. IN RE. DODDS. Counsel applied to his Lordship upon affidavits to be filed in the course of the day, for habeas corpus, or an order to discharge Dodds, a debtor prisoner in Jersey jail upon grounds different from those upon which a similar former application was made. His Lordship thought that the application should have been made to a court of law—the Court of Common Pleas. The counsel for the prisoner stated that the eourts of common law had no power to grant a commission to take affidavits in Jersey, and the authorities there would not take the affidavits themselves, nor allow any one else to take them in the island ; that the present affi davits were sworn in London. His Lordship consented to take the affidavits, and dispose of the case to-morrow, at 12 o'clock, at his resi dence, this being the last day of term. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Woo ,1 .) IN RE PINKERTON'S 'RUNTS --PETITION TOR JUDGMENT. g His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, having examined the original will of the testator and compared it with the official copy in reference to the periodical fluctuation, was of opinion that although the intention of the testator was not definitely expressed, and the punctuation was defective ; et it appeared that the intention of the testator was to impose an onerous obligation for the distribution of the re‘idue of his estate, in the respective events happening as they occurred. His Honour was of opinion that the residue of the property must be disposed of partly for the purposes of education, as directed by the will, and that the remainder must stand over to be applied to the other purposes of the trust. Costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolle Sir John Romiliy.) EVANS V. EVANS. Judgment posponed. COURT FOR THE CONSPERA_TION OF CROWN CASES RESERVED. THE EOLTON MURDER. THE QUEEN T. AARON MELLOR -JUDGMENT. In this case Aaron Mellor was tried at the last Liver pool winter assizes, before Mr. Justice Wightnaan, for the murder of his wife Alice Mellor, at Bolton, Lanca shire, found guilty, and left for execution. The day atter the trial it was discovered that by mistake a jury man on the panel, named William Thornley, answered to the name of Joseph Henry Thorn, went into, the box, was sworn, and acted with the others, and it was contended that the trial was void ; and as the prisoner bad been put in peril, he could not be tritil again, and ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice Wightmau resulted the prisoner, and reserved the point for the considera tion of the Court. On Saturday week last the case was argued before Lord Campbell, Lori Chief Justice Cock burn, the Lord Chief Baron, and eleven pui.ne juriges. A point was then raised that the Court had not jurisdic tion, the point reserved by the learned judge being one of fact after the trial, and not of lax on the trial, the Court being oonstitsted alone for the consideration of points of law raised on the trial of a prisoner. The point being an important one, the Court took time to consider their judgment. This morning the 14 learned judges reassembled to deliver their judgment, when a great difference of opinion appeared to prevail. Lord Campbell first delivered his j advisee. He said that after a careful and attentive considerati,m of the act of Parliament, the 11 and 12 Vic., chap. 78, under which the Court was constituted, he considered the Court had jurisdiction. The mistake having been dis covered during the period of the commission, and the prisoner respited by the judge who tried the case, the point relative to the swearing the wrong juryman was a point of law, and might be said to have arisen on the trial. It was necessary that a wide significance should be given to that part of the act, and he considered the case came properly before them on a point of law instead iff being raised on a writ of error. The noble and learned lord then entered into the details of the case, the authorities that had been quoted in the course of the argument, and quoted from "Blackstone" in reference to the constitu tion of juries, and gave it as his opinion that in this case there had been a mis-trial, and that a Venire de tnovo should issue, becase the prisoner had suffered no njury and had not been prejudiced by the first trial. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn concurred in the court having jurisdiction in the matter that there had been a mistrial, and that a venire de novo should issue. No injury had been inflicted in this case by the trial, but it might have happened, and it was essential to a fair and honest trial that a prisoner should have a right of chal lenge, which he was debarred from when a juryman answered to a wrong name. A prisoner or his friends might know by name a jerytnan who was hostile to him, and bad a prejudice against him, whilst they might know him personally, and so do him a great injustice from his being deprived thereby of his right of challenge. For such a case he could see no remedy, and he wished oar criminal procedure was such that the courts could ascer tain on facts brought before them that a prisoner, by such a mistake, had or had not been prejudiced on his trial. Two serious inconveniences arose under the pre sent law—either that a guilty man might escape with impunity or an innocent man be placed at the mercy of the advisers of the Crown. The only remedy that there appeared to him to be in this case was to hold that this was a mis-trial, so that the ends of justice might not be defeated, seeing that the prisoner bad not been preju diced by the trial that had taken place. Lord Chief Baron Pollock said that the Court had no jurisdiction in this case, and that the proceedings should have been by writ of error. The Court had no right to order a new trial, and he very much doubted if they did whether the prisener could not move for a habeas corpus for his discharge, and whether they could ay him again. The Court was constituted to reverse, affirm, or amend points of law decided on the trial of prisoners, and to give to the provisions of this act the construction laid down by the learned judges who bad preceded him was far exceeding their duties, and by so doing they were usurping the duties of legislators, which it was never intended they should do. Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Baron Martin, and Mr. Baron Watson held that there had been a mis-trial, and that a venire de novo ought to issue. _ . Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Byles, and Mr. Baron Channell held that the conviction was good. Eight judges being of opinion that the conviction was right, and six only that there was a wig-trial, the convic tion was affirmed, and the sentence will be directed to be carried into effect. toM The Royal Society has granted a sum of money -r. Robert Mallet, from the Government Grant Fund to enable that gentleman to make researches into the phe nomena of the recent earthquake in Italy. Mr. Mallet, who is provided with lette rs to the Neapolitan govern ment, including some documents of importance from Cardinal Wiseman, left London last Tuesday for the scene of the late disasters. with feeling • f ALARMING ILLNESS OF VIE EARL OF RANFIIRLY We (Newry Telegraph) have learned, the roost sincere regret, that the Earl of R an i 1 `l3 of y is at present suffering under an attack of dang erous ~ i llness, at the family residence, Dungannon- lark. p o 0 from .

The Fehrihry at the central thin morning at the Sessions House, Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayer, Sir G. Carroll, the Recirder, Alderman Wire, Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, the Under Sheriffe, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 70 prisoners for trial, with the exception of five cases of manslaughter and two of murder, they were of the ordinary description. A number of jurymen were fined 101. each for non attendance. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER, in delivering his charge, said that although the calendar was not heavy, he was sorry to say that five of the cases extended to manslaughter, and one to murder; in that case two men, named Jeremiah Calligan and Patrick Murphy, were charged with the wilful murder of Henry Morgan, a po!ice constable, and it now appeared that the occurrence arose out of a drunken row ; a person had given Calligan inter custody for an assault, and a number of persons attempted a rescue when he was in the custody of the deceased, which resulted in his receiving a blow which terminated in hie death. One of the questions will be, whether there is sufficient to identify the prisoner Calligan as having inflicted the blow ; if there was sufficient evidence, no doubt the prisoner was guilty of murder, and those who were identified as having taken part in the rescue were equally liable. There appeared to have been strong evidence of the identity, and if they were of that opinion, it would be their duty to return a true bill. The next case was one in which James O'Neal, a tai'or, was charged with feloniously assaulting John Richardson, with intent to murder him. This case also arose out of a drunken squabble, in which the prisoner seised a pair of tongs, and struck the prosecutor several violent [lows. The next case is a charge against Sarah Bennett, a married woman, for feloniously killing and slaying Mary Bennett. It appeared from the depositions, that the prisoner had been quarreling with her husband, when the deceased seemed to have interfered to protect her mother, and re-ulted in her receiving a violent blow on the head with a hammer, which caused her death. The learned Recorder having briefly adverted to the other cases which would come before the grand jury, in which the master of Newington Workhouse was charged with converting the bodies of paupers under his care for pinata tnical purposes, said that some time since an act was passed for affording facilities to medical students and surgeons for the purposes of scientific anatomical pur poses, but the act required that they should be the bodies of persons who had died, and who either had no friends or were not identified. The defendant, had, it would, he believed turn oat, made use of his office as master of the workhouse, and used the bodies of persons who bad relatives, and a sort of mock funeral took place, which as followed by the relatives ; there was he believed, no fxpross statue ; the ordinary cases in the books were those where bodies had been disinterred, which was an offence at common law. The principal evidence was that of a person who was in the nature of an accompice ; and if they thought the defendant had used the bodies for gain and reward he would advise the jury to return a true bill, and then the case would be considered in that court. He did not think there were any other cases requiring observation. The jury then retired. The trial of Mr. Glover, the isVe member for Beverley. for making an alleged false declaration as to his qualifi cation to sit in the House of Commons, is post} ()Jed til, the next Feseions, with the consent of the Crown. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) BOW STREET. A respectable-looking young man named Alfred Weaver, was charged by his employers, Messrs. Holder and Co., of Great Queen-street, coach ironmongers, with having embezz!ed various sums of money. Mr. Holder stated that the prisoner was their shop wan ate salary of 24, a-week. It was hie duty t', sell goods and enter the monies in a day-book ; also to pay various small sums and to account weekly for all that he had received. Until lately he (the prosecutor) had no suspicion that the prisoner was in the habit of sang goods and omitting to enter them, but keeping back the price. On Friday, the 22d inst., this suspicion was aroused by a person bringing back to exchange a lamp which he said he had purchased for Si. a few weeks before. It was a very unusual circumstance for a carriage lamp to be soid singly, and he was unable to recollect such an entry, which he must have noticed if it bad appeared in the book. To make sure, he examined the book, and finding no such entry, spoke to the pri• antler, who said he remembered the wale, but could not account for the fact that the entry was omitted—he thought he bad entered it. Oa further iuquiry ho found that the fellow-lamp had been purchased by the Caine person, iu Dec., for Ss. Gd., and had not been entered. lie mentioned this to the prisoner, who made the same reply—that he thought he had entered it. Oa this he gave him into custody. The case was aijourned for inquiry into other alleged defalcations. TERRIBLE OONPLAGRATION AND ENORMOUS LOSS OF PROPERTY. The most extensive conflagration that has occurred during the present year, at the north-east end of London, took place on Saturday night at a few minutes before nine o'clock, on the premises belonging to Mr. G.Atli , ll, the extensive timber merchant and veneer dealer, Eliza beth-street, Hackney-road, near the Victoria gate. The premises were of considerable magnitude, and comprised sundry buildings, amongst which were the veneer rooms, containing some thousands of pounds' worth of finely cut rosewood and mahogany, whilst the open yard contained many hundred piles of deals and other woods, each of which towered between 50 and 60 feet into the air. Barton, the conductor of the Royal Society, imme diately got his engine to work, and numerous °then of the London Brigade and of the West of England office arrived one after each other in rapid succession, and a good supply of the east London Company's water having been procured, the whole of the e"gines were called into operation ; but in spite of which the Raines continued spread, and many piles of timber in a thorough state of ignition kept toppling over, seizing hold of the houses in the same street to the number of five, at the same time the fire was rushing through the side windows of the parsinage hou°e in St. Peter-street. The Fcene at this time became fearful in the extreme, for men, women, and children were to be seen runuing about, the latter in their night clothes, an I the former in a state - approximating to madness, but as mauyas thought proper to possess themselves of the privilege were kindly housed by Mr. Stearns, the proprietor of the Cock and Castle, in the same street. . . The firemen, upon finding so many other houses on fire, first dir3cted the full farce of water to fall upon those buildings, and after considerable labour they .uc needed in getting tha flames subdued in the private houses in Elizabeth-street, bat the timber in Mr. Athill's yard continued to send up such tremendous sheets of flame, and the wind being nearly south, drove the fire through the side windows of the parsonage house in St. Peter-street, the residence of the Rev. J. C. Packer. The firemen, by mounting the roofs, cutting away, and resorting to other expedients, managed by four o'clock in the morning to get the fire extinguished, but not till property of several thousands pounds in value was destroyed. CORN ZXCHANGE. Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday mese but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only s limited business was transacted, on rather lower terms. All spring corn moved off slowly, at about previous rates, The value of both wheat and flour has a downward ten dency in the French markets, which continue to be well supplied with all kinds of produce. The export trade in the United States continues heavy. About average supplies of home grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,564 quarters of wheat, 7,840 barley, 8,454 oats, 655 beans ; about 22,000 of various sorts, 1,470 sacks and 700 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, from Essex and Bent, was very moderate, and the receipts from the various other counties were small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples, both red and white, was limited, the demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, and prices were 2s. to 3s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. At that amount of depression millers purchased cautiously. There was a full average show of good and useful, as well as saleable, foreign wheats. Even the finest samples met a very dull inquiry, and the quotations generally gave way is to 2s per quarter. In floating cargoes of grain very little was doing. Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but other kinds were dull, on rather lower terms—viz., is to 2s per quarter. In malt very little was doing, on rather lower terms. There was an unusual supply of oats in the market. Sound parcels sold at full prices, but damp qualities were 6d cheaper. Beans ruled heavy at le per quarter less money. Peas ruled heavy at barely late rates. Flour sold slowly, and country marks were rather cheaper. r CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was again very limited, and its general quality was rather inferior. Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from oar own grazing districts were very moderate. The gene ral weight and condition of most breeds, however, were tolerably good. Although the attendance of butchers was rather on the increase, the beef trade was not very brisk; nevertheless prices were 2d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nniglit, and at which a fair clearance was effected. The best Scots sold at 4s per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshite amounted to 1,560 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England 950 of various breeds ; from Scot land 550 Scots ; and from Ireland 252 oxen. With s h e ep we were again very scantily supplied. The salesmen almost generally, demanded higher quotations, in consequence of the shortness of the supply. In some few instances a slight advance was obtained for good and prime sheep; but we have no actual change to notice in the quotations realised on Monday last. The primest Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. The few calves in the market were disposed of at full prices, viz., 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs.

Two cargoes of elephants from Burma h have been landed at Calcutta since the last mail left. One arrived in the ship Tubal Cain, consisting of 20 elephants ; the other in the Belgravia, and numbered 50 elephant.. The process of hoisting these most gigantic of existin g qu adrupedS from their berths on board ship, and getting th.zri on shore, was a novel and curious sight. Th e arrival of the elephants was mentioned in the newspapers, and many persons were attracted to witness their disembarkation. The Governor-General and Lady Cnning were among the visitors, and many of the and others, at t ended while Governme n t officials, gress. It took p l ace at the tre ce la rs nc o li f n t g he vi g a a s r i r n is p o r n o , Government dockyard, about half amile below Fort William. Strange to say, there is no wharf at this dockyard alongside of which the vessels could be brought, so that they had to be moored about 50 yards off from the shore. They were, however brought near a jetty, at the extremity of which is a large crane, and by means of this crane, and the tackle on board ship, all the elephants wet , afely landed. The first patty in the Tubal Cain were landed in a somewhat different manner from the other in the Belgravia. When the animal were hoisted up from between decks, the hoisting tackle was connected with the crane chains, and the crane being then turned slowly round, each ele phant in succession was I, weed and deposited on 'the bank of the river. This plan gave too much liberty to the elephants after reaching terra firma; for, as some of them chose to indulge in a roll and bath in the shallow water after their voyage, time was lost before the drivers could mansge to lead them away. It was therefore found more conve went and expeditious to lower each elephant into a barge alongside the ship, and to land him afterwards by drawing the boat the short distance to theNhore. The fifty elephants in the Belgravia were all brought between decks, part on the main deck, and the remainder in the orlop deck below. Not many ve,sels would have the necessary height be tween decks—from eight to ten feet ; and there was only+ just space enough in the Belgravia for the larger animals to stand upright without touching the timbers of the deck above. The elephants were ranged on each side of the ship, strong beams being placed so as to confine them from rolling towards the centre while the ship was in motion. Every thing was left as open as possible for purposes of ventilation, but yet the congregation of so many large animals caused the atmosphere to be very hot and oppressive. Some of the more mischievous were tethered by a chain attached to one or two of their legs, to prevent them from annoying their neighbours. When about to be removed from the ship, each animal was brought under the main hatch way, the opening of which had of course been lengthened and widened so as to admit of their descent when they were embarked at Moulmein. Each elephant on board had a mahout, or driver, and a coolie, or servant, for feeding and cleaning him. To these men they had b ecome accustomed, ' and were greatly subjected to their influence. The elephant's mahout, assisted by the sailors, arranged a strong canvas sling, or girth, edged with strong tope, round the animal's carcase, and, the tackle being adjusted, the huge fellow was slowly raised off his feet, and the ascent was commenced. One of the largest was said to weigh 3 tons 2i cwt. There was no opposition to the process of hoisting on the part of the animals, with one or two ex ceptions ; indeed, for the most part they appeared anxic us e-ich to have his turn as soon as possible, for they had sagacity enough to understand it was the means of quitting the ship, as it had been the means of bringing them into it. There was great excite ment among the crowd on shore when the boat swain's whistle was heard directing the sailors at the capstan to hoist away, and as the falls or hoist ing ropes, which were connected with the main and wizen maws of the ship, became strained and tight ened, presently the rougb, inert-looking mass of the animal's spine and back was seen above the deck ; then part of the head, with which the animal from _ _ time io time prevented himself from being struck against the sides of the hatchway as he swung round on either side ; the small sluggish eye, which seemed to be calmly surveying the surrounding scene ; the active probos cis, forming by its constant (movements a remarkable contrast with the rest of the passive frame ; and, finally, after the crane tackle had been connected, the whole creature came into view, dangling in the air, and suspended by a couple of ropes which seemed like mere threads compared with the size of the animal which de pended from them. He was then swung over the bulwarks, and lowered into the barge alongside. It was amusing to observe the quiet way iu which the animal avoided the blow when his feet or legs were likely to strike against the side of the ship, and the way in which he assisted in taking off the strain of the ropes and raising himself when being passed over the bulwarks to make his descent into the lighter. One is hardly led to anticipate much adroit ness from such a bulky creature, not merely on ac count of its size, but also because its dull-looking loose hide conceals, in a great degree, that evidence (f life and passion which, in the horse, and most other animals, is so strongly marked by starting veins and the rapid muscular movements of its whole body. As soon as the elephant was in the lighter, the mahout, who had got down before him, at once jumped on his neck, and the animal immediately yielded himself to the direction of his accustomed. master. Sometimes he would appear a little ner vous, putting his trunk into the water to try its depth, with a view, perhaps, to ascertaining if it were possible to walk ashore ; but generally he began turning over some of the fresh grass placed in the bottom of the boat to divert attention, and remained quiet until the boat was brought as near the ground of the dock yard as possible. Then, at a signal from the mahout, after again leaning over and carefully testing the depth of water with his proboscis, he slowly raised one huge foot over the boat's side, then the other, and in a few miutes he was on his way to the place where the rest of his companions were picketed. No accident occurred during the disembarkation, but two elephants wore drowned at Moulmein in embarking them. The animals first landed were not picketed, and for want of this precaution one of them made off in the course of the evening for a stroll. Search was made for him during the night, but he was not discovered until the next morning. The police then notified that he was in a garden about seven miles from the dockyard whence he started. A couple of his companions and some drivers were despatched to bring him back, but they were not permitted to proceed, it being contrary to law for elephants to appear in the streets of Cal cutta, or within a space of 5 miles round the city, on account of the danger from frightening horses. A party of 10 men, armed with spears, were sent to bring back the truant. The only mischief he had done during the night consisted in having entered several compounds, and helped himself to sundry cabbages and other succulent vegetables, All the eleplonts were of large size, and landed in excellent condition. It is expected that they will all sutler somewhat from fever after the confine ment and close atmosphere they were subjected to during the voyage, but a little medicine will • soon remove this. While on board ship they were fed on rations of rice, with an allow ance of green fodder, a large proportion of which consisted of the stems and leaves of an immense species of pineapple found wild at Burmah. After landing, the flies in • the dockyard annoyed them greatly. Looking at their tough hides, it was not easy to understand how such a surface c ould be so sen,itive. The plan they adopted to rid themselves of the annoyance consisted in ga thering up in the hollow extremity of the proboscis a quantity of dust and small gravel, which was either thrown over the head so as to fall in a shower along the back, or projected with force between the fore legs so as to sweep away the intruders from the skin beneath. The captain of the Belgravia brought a young elephant, between four and five years old, and about the size of a Pony, as a private speculation. It lived on the upper deck, near the captain's cabin, and was re markably tame. Four hundred rupees, or forty pounds sterling, was the price of this animal. The government elephants were marched up to Barrackpore at night, leaving Calcutta at 10 p.m., after the traffic of the day was over. It is strange that not only is the horse afraid of the elephant, a fear which is easily comprehended, but the elephant is equally timid with regard to the horse, and con siderable training is required to get rid of this mutual distrust and alarm when the animals have been unaccustomed to each other's society. The use for which the elephants just landed are especially wanted is carrying commissariat stores. They can carry an enormous weight, and can go in places whers a cart cannot move. One elephant take with ease on his back two large soldiers' tents complete, each made of double cloth, and capable of accommodating 16 men, and can march at the rate of four miles an hour with his load. The driver, sitting on his neck, guides and urges him on by means of aa. _ abort iron instrument, painted at the end, with whic h he pricks him about the head and .iy‘viPg."' d all sickle-like projection at the side, which is into the pendulous flap of the j e i a re ry q uires.
