M. GUIZOT'S FETE. The political and elegant world crowded, on Friday evening, the drawing-rooms of the Foreign-office. The two sons of the King, now at Paris, the Dukes de Ne mours and deMontpensier, honoured with their presence this splendid fete, given by M. Guizot, and which the Bey of Tunis attended. Among the crowd were the Ministers, a large number of Members of both Cham • bers, the most eminent members of the great Courts of Law, the Council of State, the Administration and Army, and the Ambassadresses and the members of the corps diplomatique. (The Ambassadors were absent, owing, it is said, to a question of precedence founded upon their relations with the Ottoman Porte). About two thousand invitations had been sent out. Many foreigners of distinction had hastened to this reunion d'elite. Among those present were Lord and Lady William Hervey, Lord and Lady Cowley and Miss Wellesley, Countess Rostopchin, Prince Trubetakoi and Madame Oustinoff, nee Trubetskoi, m. Martinez de la Rosa, the Spanish Ambassador ; and, lastly, that host of celebrites in the arts, sciences, politics, and lite rature of whom France is proud, and who are connected by so lively a sympathy with a Minister who is not solely great as a statesman. The Bey of Tunis arrived at nine, accompanied by his Minister of War, his Minister of Finances, Chevalier Buffo, and followed by a brilliant cortege. His Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours arrived at a quarter to ten. The moment he took his seat, the concert, executed by the " Conser vatoire," commenced. The programme, which was worthy of the performers, had been drawn up by M. Auber with the tact and intelligence of a great master. It was, we are assured, at the request of M. Guizot in person, that the chorus of the Muctte de Portici formed part of it, and that brilliant inspiration re tained all its power and éclat by the side of the airs of Weber, the fine chorus of Semiramide, and Beethoven's gigantic symphonies. The concert ended at half-past eleven. His Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier had arrived at about eleven. The Prince had been de tained at Vincennes owing to a banquet he had given to the artillery officers on the occasion of the Sainte Barbe fete. His arrival created considerable sensation. M. Guizot's fête concluded at one, after a rich collation. During more than four hours, an elegant crowd (about 800 persons were present) bad not ceased to circulate through nine great drawing-r-_,-oms, resplendent with light and thronged with flowers. All that our prdens can yield was accumulated in profusion, and the Bey of Tunis must have been astonished at such marvellous Oriental splendour. The utmost order was maintained, both without and within. A curious multitude stood on the Boulevard near the Foreign-office, and despite the immense line of carriages, the circulation was kept free the who'e night. THE SHANNON IRISH STEAM PACRBT.—PLY-. MOUTH, DEC. 6.—Last night, on the fall of the tide, the scuttle holes in the ship's sides were plugged and caulked, and the vessel made sufficiently tight, tinder the direction of Mr. Hill, shipbuilder, to allow of her being hauled off from the beuch. She is not much strained, and now lies on a mud bottom, having a list to starboard, with her bow pointing more eastward than yesterday. It is hoped next tide that she may be placed alongside Mr. Hill's wharf, which is near. Several beams between her engine-room and stern are destroyed, and her saloon presents, by its charred, broken, and desolate appearance, a sad contrast to that which it bore when with its numerous and con tented occupants it left Southampton. The fire seems to have commenced right under the spiral cabin staircase, where two of her crew narrowly escaped destruction when removing the plate and other valuables from the steward's pantry, as the cabin deck in this place, gave way under their feet, and they with difficulty saved their lives. Most of the cabin bertha were occupied. Two young ladies, named Fagan, :rho were going to Ireland, escaped in their eight-dresses. Mrs. Jarrett, an elderly lady, was carried into the hulk alongside. Her husband, a captain in the army, incurred great risk ; being advanced in life, and rather deaf, he lay in his berth, unconscious of his perilous position, and was rescued by the intrepidity of Captain Gennys, R.N.. who rushed through the danger and brought him on deck. The wif e o f t h e ass i stant - surgeon o f h er Majesty's brig Recruit escaped from one danger to encounter another. The only ladder in use, that on the starboard side, was deficient one step in the middle, and this lady in the hurry fell through the aperture, but was speedily taken out of the water and conveyed to Cattle down. Another lady walked right off the gangway at the head of the ladder. Two other ladies are said to have fallen overboard, and these casualtiees have given rise to reports that some lives were lost, which, we are happy to say, is not the case. The stewardess had all her spare clothing, &c., destroyed. A woman named Miner, who expected her confinement in January, became the mother of a buy on board the Shannon prior to the ship's arrival at Southampton—an event for which she was totally unprepared. Her wants were, however, well supplied by other female passengers, and she is now with her friends at Plymouth. Her husband left her, with two other children, before the discovery of the fire on Saturday morning, but fortunately was not far from the ship when the alarm was given, and returning im mediately conveyed them ashore. The origin of the fire remains unknown. Some of the passengers affirm that it first smelt like burning cotton. The contents of the cargo are various, comprising bales and boxes of all de scriptions, cotton, crape, shawls, silks, books, stationery, clothing, hops, spirits, wine, &c. It is surmised that some of the ca'go ignited spontaneously shortly after leaving Southampton on Friday, and continued smeul dering until the ship's arrival at Catwater on Saturday morning. EARLY SHOP-SHUTTING.—We are glad to learn that the most respectable booksellers and publishers in town have agreed to continue the shutting of their places of business on Saturday afternoons at five o'clock throughout the winter months ; thus aftbrding time to those in their employment for self improvement in one season of' the year, as well as fur physical recreation in the other.—Edinburgh Eveniny Post. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL DICKINSON, OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY.—We have this day to record the decease of the oldest surviving general officer con nected with the Royal Artillery—Lieutenant-General Richard Colleton Dickenson, who expired on the sth instant, at his residence near Notting-hill, at the ad vanced age of eighty-four, alter a military service of sixty-five years. He entered the royal regiment as second lieutenant, Juna 29. 1781, his subsequent com missions being thus dated :—First lieutenant, May 17, 1790 ; captain, March 6, 1795 ; major, September 15, 1806 ; regimental lieutenant-colonel, June 4, 1514 ; regimental colonel, July 29, 1820; major-general, May 25, 1827 ; lieutenant-general, June 28, 1828 ; colonel commandant of the second battalion of the Royal Artil lery, April 28, 1836. MURDER OF A CHILD BY HER FATHER.—BRISTOL, TUESDAY.—Last night a man, named Cann, a butcher, residing in the district of Baptist Mills, murdered his infant daughter, during a quarrel with his wife. Mr. J. Grindon, coroner of Bristol, held an inquest to-day upon the body, and received the following evidence : Police Constable, No. 200, said he was alarmed by a noise on Monday night, and going to the place whence the sound proceeded, he saw John Cann knock his wife down with his fist ; he then kicked with his foot, upon which the wife screamed "murder, the child is dead." Witness ran towards her, and saw the mother lifting the child from the ground. He took the child up, and told Cann the child was dying. The woman said he had kicked it in the head, and before that he had flung it across the street three times. Cann made no answer. Witness then took him into custody. The infant was sent to the hospital. John Mason, house-surgeon of the hospital, said that about half-past two o'clock this morn ing the deceased infant was brought in. It was treated for concussion of the brain, but died soon after five o'clock. Ile bad made a post mortem examination, and found that the death had been occasioned by fracture of the skull and concussion of the brain, produced by some, violent injuries received. The inquest was finally ad journed. MEETING AT OLDBURY FOR THE RELIEF OF Till SUFFERERS BY THE LATE COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—A numerous and highly influential meeting was held at Oldbury on Tues lay, for the purpose of adopting mea sures fur raising funds to relieve the wants of the widows and orphans whose relations perished in the late coal mine accident there. Captain Bennett was in the chair. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the sub scriptions at the close amounted to 640/., including 101. from her Majesty the Queen Dowager, 20/. from the Earl of Dartmouth, and 21. from his lady. It was suggested that a memorial should be addressed to Government, praying for inquii y into the circumstances of the acci dent; but it appeared from an answer from Sir George Grey to a memorial to this effect from Dudley, that Go vernment is already in communication with Mr. Hinch cliff, the coroner, on the subject. An unsuccessful attempt was made at North Shields on Monday, to blow up the wreck of the Lady Fever sham, which has obstructed the navigation of the river Tyne for the last twelve months. Only two out of ten canisters of gunpowder exploded when the galvanic cir cuit was completed, and the effect on the wreck was con sequently very trifling. Another attempt will be made in a few days. THE MEMBERS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—The Liberal candidates for the representation of the City of London at the next general election will, it is now under stood, be Lord John Russell, Mr. Patteson, Sir G. Lar pent, and Mr. Rothschild. In Paris, music is ascending into high places, is in fusing itself into politics, bringing musical harmony (and it is high time) into that sphere where no other sort of harmony at present exists. Every Tuesday Louis Philippe has music executed; thirty poor devils, under the direction of Auber, sing from the scores of Mozart or Meyerbeer. The King in the meanwhile reads the dispatches of the day, makes notes on the margin, with an occasional reverie, with eyes fixed on the ceiling, during which, no doubt, he ponders how he may be avenged upon his old enemy, Palmerston, for mistaking Montemolin for Christina's door, and for snubbing his young Rod-child, Jarnac. The Royal Family, in the meanwhile, remain its the adjacent room; the ladies at their tapestry or their parfitaye ; whilst the Princes, I am sorry to say, too often are seen trying in vain to suppress yawns at their better halves, not excepting by any mean s t h e Duke de Montpcnsier who appears to appeal f rom his sallow little bride to the musicians for assistanc e to his flame, saying, in a very different spirit from Duke Orsino— e If music be the food of love, play on !" ---Post. Lurru.--Err Ell SI V E 111 POR T AT lON . — Foreign pro duce continues to flow into our port; timber, tallow, and grain in great into our During the last four days upwards of 10,000 quarters of grain have entered for landing. A vessel from Dantzig has among other commodities, no fewer than 1,700 kegs of black beer. The advanced period of the season shuts more cargoes arriving from Ports out the hope of many influenced by the frosts. No year has been markt d by such an influx of foreign :tores as the present. Bonded vaults, warehouses, and timber-yards are full to over flow.—Edinburgh Weedy Express. JAVA. (From the Hull Packet.) We have been favoured, by a merchant of this port, with a copy of the Singapore Free Press of the 7th ult , from which we extract the following highly important announcement:— "THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF NETHERLANDS INDIA, &C. Makes known—Wishing to promote the trade and in dustry of the manifold islands and possessions of Nether lands India, by the establishment of a main central point suited for trade by barter, where the different articles of produce from the said islands and possessions can be readily realised, and where, on the other hand, all their wants may be supplied in sufficient quantity and variety. Considering that the capital of Macassar, from its excel lent geographical position, good roadstead, and the com mereial spirit of it s inhabitants, appears destined, in pre ference to any possession in Netherlands India, to become a great central point of trade between those possessions and the neighbouring countries ; and wishing to remove all the obstacles precluding the full enjoyment of the natural advantages which Macassar offers, and by which trade and navigation are impeded and obstructed, has thought fit to decide— " 1. That from and after the Ist of January, 1847, the town of Macassar shall be a free port, where goods of every description whatsoever, and without reference to the flag, may be freely imported and exported without payment of duties, either on the cargo or of tonnage, harbour, or anchorage dues on the ships, and without the traders being subject to any formalities on the score of import or export duties. " 2. That therefore the regulations bearing on the importation, the sale, and possession of fire-arms and gunpowder, fixed by the decree of Bth August, 1828, Ne. 26, for the harbour and town of Macassar, are abrogated, and consequently the free admission and exportation c.f munitions of war at the place is granted by these presents. " 3. That the importation and exportation of opium at Macassar will likewise be free, and subject to no restrictive regulations, with the understanding, however, that the traders in opium will have to conform to- the local regulations in reference to the opium farm. "4. That, of the Chinese junks which are discharged at Macassar, the tax imposed by article 20 of the publi cation of 28th August, 1818, and the resolution of the 4th October, 1839, No. 20, will no longer be claimed, nor that on behalf of the Chinese Hospital prescribed by resolution of sth Marcia, 1832, No. 1. " 5. That, on the remaining places, situated in the go vernment districts of Macassar, no import or export du ties will be levied on goods imported or exported by native craft from or to Macassar, whilst no square rigged vessels will be admitted at those ports. " 6. That the governor of Macassar will be at liberty to admit foreigners, and to allow them to establish them selves temporarily at the said place for the purposes of trade. And that no one should pretend ignorance on this score, the present w:11 be published and pasted up wherever it is customary. " Ordain, &c., &c. " Given at Buitcnzorg, Sept. 9, 1846." This is regarded as one of the most important steps taken by the government of Netherlands India for many years, and with good reason ; for the decision shows what active and energetic measures are being taken by that government to compete with us in that quarter of the globe, and to diminish our commercial operations there. Considering the vest population of the Indian Archipelago and the peninsula of M a l a y a , f orm i ng one of the richest and most extraordinary divisions of Asia, it is a matter of great surprise t hat so little public con sideration has been bestowed in that direction. Until within the last few months, indeed, when the publication of Mr. Brooks's extraordinary adventures in the island of Borneo attracted general attention, the Indian Ar chipelago was seldom alluded to except as the scene of some extraordinary act of piracy ; and our commercial relaiions Tith that quarter of the globe were seldom heard e f. Andy et there can be no doubt that the subject is one of vast itcp , rtance, and entitled to grave consideration. Here is a cluster of about 12,000 islands, with a popula don roughly estimated at 40,000,000, nearly all of whom are addicted to commerce, and are detirous of obtaining, and tlre in a condition to consume and pay for British tnanufacturcs. II re ate w e in England anxious to find markets for our cotton, woollen, and hardware manufac tures. How is it, then, that we do not carry on there a far more extensive trade than now ? Nearly the whole Archipelago is abandoned to us and the Dutch ; and to our shame it must be said that the latter have quietly and unenostentatiously, yet industriously and gradually utstripped us in commercial operaions in that quarter. And their superiority is entirely attributable to ourselves. As we have said, the natives are willing and anxious to accept of our woollens and cottons, and hardware goods, in exchange for their rice, coffee, palm-sugar, antimony, camphor, gold, pearls, diamonds, gums, spices, shells, mother of pearl, and the thousand other useful and beau tiful productions of these highly-favoured islands ; and yet we have taken no pains to cultivate this extensive market, and to avail ourselves of this predilection in our favour. Th 9 Dutch, it is evident, are fast arriving at a true appreciation of the importance of the matter, and the vigorous step which they have just taken to divert the vast traffic carried on by the Boeghiese, or Bugis, as they are usually called in Singapore, is calculated to in flict a vital blow on British commerce in that portion of the globe, unless counteracted by similar determined and enlightened measures on the part of our own country. This step cf the government of Netherlands India is tl.e more to be apprehended from its 'being a total departure from the commercial policy which the Dutch have hitherto observed in that quarter. The footing which they obtained by treachery and violence they have per petuated and confirmed by a system of policy rigorously exclusive. In the hope of enticing the Bugis to their ports they have recently, in some instances, set aside the rules of their exclusive commercial policy, yet it was never thought that they could so speedily throw off the habits of centuries, and ad ipt that wise and liberal policy which has raised Singapore to such great opulence. The establishment of Macassar as a free port shows, ho A ever, that the prejudices in favour of commercial exclusiveness, have not been so firmly rooted as not speedily to give way to a prospect of commercial advantage. Macassar, a fortified town, favourably situated on the south-west of the island of Celebes (the country of the Bugis, whose periodical trading excursions to Singapore constitute the chief wealth and commercial importance of that free port), possessing great natural advantages, watn-ed by t.vo rivers, one of which is so broad as to sl low vessel; to sail up within half-:annon-shot of the town walls, must, ere long become a formidable competitor to Singapore, unless the British Government take vigorous counteractive measures. These measures should be the opening of free commercial ports in various favourable points. That such ports are a source of gain, the exam ple of Singapore fully shows. By a statement of the receipts and disbursements of that flourishing port for the year ending April, 1846—published in the Singapore Free Press—we find the gross receipts are 530,040 rupees ; and the disbursements 497,186 rupees, leaving a nett excess of receipts of 32,854 rupees. By all means, then, let our British trade have due encouragement there. Let us have more Singapores. The Sultan of Borneo has ceded to us recently Labuan, on the north-west coast of Borneo. It is proposed that it should be a naval station ; for this country. Let it also be a free port for our com merce. In ail likelihood the chief houses of Singapore, Hong-Kong, and Manilla would establish branches there ; as also they and others would in other favour. ably selected free ports. By the vigorous, yet judicious pursuance of such a system, the commercial interests of this couutry could not fail to be greatly benefited ; and our goods would no longer he cot.fined to such a limited portion of the vast market open for their reception, as can be supplied by th e a d venturous B ug i s, who come periodically in their prahus to Singapore, and having obtained commodities as they can purchase, carry them in their irregular manner to the very eastern extremity of the Archipelago, where they establish a mart for their sale. With these few remarks we dismiss the subject for the present, trustiag before long to see it taken up in better-informed and much more influential quarters. A new carriage conveyance company is about to be started, called the Economic Brougham, Cabriolet, and Carriage Company. The carriages will be of a uniform colour, and the drivers will wear a respectable livery. The rate of fares will be sixpence a mile. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The Sir William Wallace ' steamer has made a second voyage from Boulogne, with a cargo of live cattle, the production of France, having 35 cows and heifers, and the very large number of 354 sheep and 242 lambs on board, which were brought to Blackwall and landed there with dispatch for immediate delivery to their destination, the vessel taking her de parture without delay for the same French port, having been specially chartered to convey another cargo of cattle from Boulogne to some port on the Sussex coast— Rye, we believe—in addition to the supplies to the metropolis, which, in the space of a fortnight, have com prised nearly 3,000 of the various kinds of live stock. This great influx of cattle from France is, we believe, attributable to the enterprise of a house in Boulogne, whose wishes and interests are seconded and attended to by a London agent, under whose superintendence the management of the affair has been placed. We under stand that these shipments form portions of a parcel of about 5,000 head for horned cattle, and about as many or more sheep and young s t oc k , wh i ch have been pur chased and collected inland, and brought up and herded in the neighbourhood of Boulogne, for the purpose of ( being exported to this country ; and as the speculation, if it may be so termed, or experiment, has b een f ound fully to answer the expectations of the parties, the stock will probably be speedily followed by a further supply from the same quarter. These extensive supplies of cattle from France, in addition to those frequently al luded to and enumerated in our columns, as having taken place from the numereui other continental states already more or less concerned in the traffic, which has not until now been the case, render these details of especial in terest, and give them a character of great importance, both in a commercial and domestic point of view. A principal feature in these supplies is the large number of lambs, especially at this very late period of the season. RAILWAYS V. TURI.I?IKE ROADS.-SALE or TOLL'. —Yesterday, a meeting of the trustees of the New Cross Turnpike Loads, consisting of Messrs. Jackson (chair man), Brandram, Lewen, &c., was held at the Green Man Tavern, Blackheath, for the purpose of disposing of the same by auction. The road extends from Peck ham-lane Gate to Deptford-hill and Bromley-common Gates, and were I, t last year for the sum of 12,5301. above the expanse of their collection.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSIDAy MORNING, DECENI.I3ER lO, 18-ts. THE 31st REGIMENT. On Monday the head-quarters of the gallant 31st Regiment, under the command of Major Staunton, debarked at Gravesend fr om th e s hip Madagascar. This distinguished corps was present at Moodkee, Ferozeshab, Buddewall, Aliwal, and Sobraon, with the divihion of Sir Harry Smith—in all of which battles it was hotly engaged, and suffered very severely. 28 officers and 530 men formed the list of casualties, the whole strength of the regiment before the battle of Diloodkee having been 32 officers and 733 mer. LAW INTELLIGENCE. PRIVY COUNCIL, Dec. 9. be completed, no matter at what cost. Accordingly, some fifty persons were employed, who, armed with sticks, made the survey at night. The expense of employing the additional force formed a considerable item in the ac count of the plaintiff. The LORD CHIEF BARON said it was very clear that the plaintiff could not recover for any charge of that kind. The hiring of a band of ruffians to commit an act of trespass could not be sanctioned in any court of law. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat again to-day, in the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords i❑ attendance were Lord Brougham, Lord Langdale (the Master of the Rolle), Mr. Baton Parke, Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, and the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. THE QUEEN'S PROCTc R V. THE SOLICITOR OF THE DUCHY OF LANCASTER. Four standards captured by the regiment from the Siekhs were landed amid the deafening acclamations of thousands of spectators, w ho lined the bank of the river, cheering with all their might and main the stern heroes of the Sutlej. One of these trophies was taken at Ferozeshab, one at Alma], and two at Sobraon. Among them was an Akahlee flag; and desperate must have been the combat before these devotees left their banner, which they are sworn to lose only with their lives. The colours of the corps, torn to shreds from the storm of grapeshot through which they were victoriously borne, and stained with the blood of the ensigns who were killed carrying them to the muzzles of the Seikh guns which the regiment captured, formed objects of great interest to the assembled spectators. Colonel Spence, C. 8., who commanded the 31st in all these actions, met them at Gravesend, and marched at their head to Chatham, where every one seemed to vie with another in doing all honour to these brave men. The 31st Regiment sailed for India in January, 1825, on board the ill-fated Kent East Indiaman. The only officers now with the regiment who were present at that lamentable catastrophe are Colonel Spence and Quarter master Benison. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL commenced his arguments to day in this appeal, follocing the Queen's Advocate, who was heard yesterday. The arguments of the Learned Gentleman occupied the whole of the morning. Lord Campbell, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster, adhering to his determination of yesterday, sat without the bar among her Majesty's counsel. Mr. MARTIN, on the pal t of the defendant, contended that the sum of 1801. 165., which had been paid to the plaintiff; was ample remuneration for the services ren dered by him. A contract was entered into at the rate of 251. per mile, including all expenses. Witnesses were then called on the part of the defence, who stated that the custom of the profession was, that when a contract war entered into to survey by the mile, it included all expenses whatever. Mr. WHATELEY, in reply, contended that the contract was to pay 251. a mile and all expenses ; and now the work was done, it was most unfair to turn round and saddle the plaintiff with expenses which he incurred at the express direction cf the defendant. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 9. STOCKEN V. DAWbON. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls, were resumed and concluded to. day, Mr. Bo thell, on behalf of the appellants, having concluded his reply this morning. The case, which has alreaely occupied several days, and which has been in this Ccurt for several years, came before the Lord Chancellor on appeal from a judgment of the Master of the Rolls, disallowing ex ceptions to the Master's report. A short state ment of the facts of the case may be thus made : John and William Stocken had carried on the business of brewers at Walham Green. In 1820 John died, having made a will by which he devised his undivided moiety of his interest in the brewery to William Stocken, Thomas Carlton, and Benjamin Dawson, in trust to re ceive the rents, and apply the same towards the support of his son and daughter during their minorities ; and when the youngest of them came of age, he devised the same to them in equal shares. The brewery was, ac cording to the directions in the will, to be valued, and the right to purchase the moiety offered to his brother. If the brother purchased, he was to gi ve sa ti s f ac t or y i security for the payment; f he d ec li ne d to purc h ase, the business was to be carried on as it hal here tofore been, for the maintenance of the testator's wife and family. The valuation w as ma d e , an d William, the brother, remained in p ossess i on as a nominal purchaser, until 1824, when he died, having made a will by which he gave his son, Oliver Stocken, one of the defendants, the whole of his interest in the property, and appointed Oliver Stocken and Benjamin Dawson his executors. That will was proved, and Oliver took possession of the property, and carried on the business, as he believed, for his own benefit. In 1827 the plaintiff, an infant, filed a bill by his next friend, alleging that no proper valuation of the property had been made during the life of William Stocken, that the defendant had not pro perly become the owner of the property, and praying an account and a receiver. The cause was heard in November, 1830, and a decree made, by which it was declared that the interest of John Stocken in the brewery was not affected by the valuation or alleged purchase, and a reference was directed to the Master to take an account of the profits . of the brewery which had accrued since the death of John Stocken, and to make all parties just allowances. The Master having reported, the defendants took several exceptions to that re port ; some of these were allowed but the Master of the Rolls having decided against the claim of the defendant to any allowance for carrying on the business in the character of executor to his deceased partner, and affirmed the claim of the plaintiff to the halt of the profits. The ques tions were now argued on appeal. The Loan CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of Mr. Bethel's reply to-day, postponed giving judgment. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—; 41. 12$. 71. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 9. The London sittings commenced this morning at Guildhall, before the Lard Chief Justice. The Court was occupied all the day with a river collision case of no interest, except to the parties concerned. The cause list is very heavy, and a great proportion are special jury ca es. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Henry Manley Ns as indicted for stealing two stoves and a quantity of iron, the property of Edward Aimes. The prosecutor, who was a builder in Empson-street, had a quantity of old building materials in his yard, among which were several stoves and metal bolts, and on the morning of the 3d inst. the prisoner was observed by a policeman on the top of the wall of the prosecutor's yard, when some person from the inside handed him up a stove, which the prisoner gave to a person outside the wall. Ths constable then came up, and the other two men ran away, but before the prisoner could get down he took him into custody. The stoves and a number of old iron bolts were found on the outside of the wall. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mary Ann Mills was indicted for stealing 4s. from the person of John Wright, with whom she was drinking at the time in a public-house. She was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The records of some former convictions were I roved against her. Eliza Humphries, a strong and forbidding-looking young woman, aged 18 years, was indicted of stealing a shawl and other articles, the property of John Cronan. It appeared that the prisoner had been an inmate in the Wapping workhouse, and went to see the prosecutor, with whom she bad been formerly acquainted, and stole the shawl and some other trifling articles. Upon her return io the workhouse she lodged them with another pauper for safety, by whom they were eventually given up to one of the wardswomen, and the prisoner was taken into custody. When called upon for her defence, the prisoner in a broad Munster accent said, " I have nothing to say, except that you will transport me, for so help me -, if I am only sent to prison, when I come out I will be tried for murder, for I will have that villain's life (point ing to the pauper to whom she gave the shawl) when I come out." The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—I will take care of you for six months, at all . events. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Dec. 9. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) PEACOCK V. KERNOT. Prisoner—Six months or six years is all the same thing to me, for I will hunt her to the world's end, or I will nave my revenge. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE—W e II , we w ill see. The sentence is that you be impriNoned and kept to hard labour for six months, and at the end of that time that you find sureties to keep the peace. Prisoner--Keep the pace, is it ? By J—, I'll make her keep the pace when I come out. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed this morning, and occupied his Honour the whole day. The suit was instituted for the purpose of setting aside a contract for the purchase by the plaintiff of the stock and premises of a toy-shop at West Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, which the defendant (a drupgiat there) had, as it was alleged in the bill, induced the plaintiff to buy from him. The bill represented that the plaint:ft' was a young man of weak intellect, who had been imposed upon by the defendant, and induced to lay out his money upon what might be considered by some persons the trumpery concerns of a toy shop, which the de fendant had been himself carrying on next door to his druggist's shop. On the filing of the bill, an injunction had been applied for and granted, restraining the de fendant from enforcing payment of the purchase-money till the heariag. POLICE I N TELLIC;ENCE. MA NSI ON-HO USE. ROBERIES BY SERVANTS.--Henry Morgan, a young man, employed by Messrs. White and Co., of No. 108, Cheapide, warehousemen, was charged with having robbed the firm. Mr. White, jun., haring been informed by one of the servants of the establishment that a shawl was found, wrapped up in a piece of brown paper in the dust bin, snspicion fell upon the prisoner, who was occupied in the shawl department of the warehouse, and who was placed in the custody of Furnell, City policeman, No. 32, after a short investigation. The prisoner, on his way to the station-house, confessed to the officer that he had secreted the shawl, and said that as it was his first offence, and it was caused by the illness of his wife, and his great poverty, he hoped Mr. White would forgive him. The officer found in the prisoner's pocket 21. Bs., and in his lodgings a piece of satinet worth 31. 10., which had been missing since last May, from Mr. White's warehouse. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial. Thomas Joi4nson, porter to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, carriers, of Ilamboro'-wharf, in Thames-street, was brought up for re-examination. on the charge of having stolen a truss of silk, value 1251., which. with other pro perty, he was intrusted to deliver. The justice-room was crowded during the investigation, a statement having been made drat three thieves had received the truss from the prisoner ii Charterhouse-square, and driven off with it at full spew! in a cart. Mr. Riches, clerk to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, in answer to a question from the prisoner's solicitor, stated that the house had received a very good character of the prisoner frond Messrs. I'ickford and Co., and never before bad had cause. to suspect his integrity. John Fry, a lad in the employment of Messrs. Chap lin and Home, stated that it was his duty to attend the waggon, to watch the goods taken out to be delivered to the various consignees. On the 24th of November he attended the waggon to several places with the prisoner, who kept the book. He saw the truss safe in Bishops gate-street, .but after they left that street he never saw it. They then went to Ratcliffe Highway, and from thence to C harter-house•square, where they were to deliver some property. Upon going into the square the prisoner sale' he had forgotten the book at the last place they vi sited, and he sent the witness for it. The delay was (07 ►siderable, and when witness returned they went to Bun:hill-row, where the prisoner told him to put out the truss, but the truss was nowhere to be found, and the primmer said it must be lost or dropped off. The L0R.:13 MAYOR desired to be informed whether anything ha+ I been said to the prisoner about the value of the truss- Mr. Riches—No; but the mark " Silk " was on the delivery ticks ?t, ar,d he, of course, must have known that it was of con siderable value. In his cross-examination the witness said he had never left th e prisoner except when he went back to the place in s the book had been left, which was at a chemist's shop where they had delivered some hampers. Inspector Woodruffe said it was evident the book had been left at - the chemist's shop in order to give an ex cuse to this prisoner for sending away the bov from Charterhou se-square, as the prisoner must have heard a person from that shop call out to him to return him his book. The priacener was ordered to be brought up for final examination on Friday, when he will be committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William .Ruslibrook was charged with breaking into the house Yo. 14, Great Tichficld-street, and carrying off a writir: g• desk and two coats. J. Jones„ carpenter, 84, Great Titchfield-street, said he had been in his bed room on Tuesday evening about a quarter past: five o'clock, and left the desk and the other articles safe• in the room when he went down stairs to tea. He rem wined below some time, and it might have been half-past seven o'clock when he returned to his bed-room and went to bed. But half an hour after he was roused - by his wife, who stated that a young man had come 1,0 the door, inquiring whether he had lost his desk. Complainant got up, and found that his desk was gone vri zh all that it contained. In the course of their search about the room to ascertain what else was missing, they pulled out two of the drawers, and discovered that a top coat had been taken from one of th emit and a dress coat from another. lie then we ni; to the Russell coffee-house, Great Wind mill-street, iv - here he saw his desk, which had been left there by a 3 o ung man, who said he would call for it iu d e ei u tn t t committingteoldreamn fo r wh otrsi said i l d at the morning..

From what we have learned, it apperir.i that Jamieson had been employed with one of the fa 'esters during the day near Kilpatrick, and afterwards proceeded towards Maryhill, where he had fallen in with two poachers, one of whom, in a fray which ensued, d'.se,tiarged his fowling-piece at him with fatal effect. The *keeper was found some hours after- Aards in a sirkiti g state by a young t - Lan who was attracted to the spL tby his groans. We understand he was then so weili as to be able only to articulate with some difficulty that tite "bloody deed was done by two men who had a. whi to dog."

GREAT RIOT IN CUPAR. A riot, accompanied with assault on a magistrate, was raised on the evening of Tuesday last. Mr. Crichton had on that evening assembled a meeting about what he pleased to call county reform. The meeting, during the greater part of the evening, was miserably small. He congratulated the whole of Fife that they yet pos sessed him—that they had yet one magistrate and one gentleman who looked after the public interest. Hitherto there had been nothing worse than words, but now Mr. Crichton, galled by the thinness of the meeting, pro c !eded to handle the delinquencies of the Herald. He, therefore, proceeded to called the editor of that paper an infamous liar, a low drudge, a dirty tool, a filthy calumniator, &c., &c., till Mr. Brown, of the Herald, who was standing in the end of the hall, said he would go up to the fellow, and stepped forward. As he was doing so, some of the ruffians in the meeting endeavoured to hold him, while others were calling out, " Put him out," " Knock him down." On this Bailie Tullis, along with the quiet portion of the meeting, passed in behind Mr. Brown, who got sale up to the platform. The pressure was now so great that some of the stage scenery was overturned ; and Mr. Crichton himself knocked over, and dashed to atoms, the decanter out of which he drank his water. When Mr. Brown, in the heat of the fray, ventured to take a little out of the tumbler, Mr. Crichton turned fiercely upon him, called him " a dirty dog," and ordered him to " let alone my things." Mr. Crichton now began to call Mr. Brown and. Bailie Tullis " dirty dog, filthy blackguard, low scoundrel, infamous liar, dirty drudge, low blackguard, Aberdonian, mean hound, too bad for kicking, too dirty to be touched with a tongs," &c., &c. ; grinding his teeth all the time, and beating B a ili e T u lli s on th e head with a copy of his own Fife Herald. The row now got pretty hot, on which Bailie Tullis, as a magistrate, re quested the town-officers to take Mr. Crichton into cus tody. This they refused to do, and Bailie Tullis took witnesses. The riot now got better and better, but Mr. Crichton was the first and only man that drew blood, which he did from the Bailie's countenance. After Mr. Brown had concluded, Mr. Crichton commenced again, and showered another fresh storm on Mr. Brown, Bailie Tullis, and Mr. shopman, who created a good deal of amusement by popping up his head above the screen behind Mr. Crichton, and quietly warning him to take care what he said about him, as he would perhaps not be inclined to let him off. Ile concluded by making a challenge to all the three, to come forward and reply to what he said. This challenge was readily accepted by Mr. Brown. In the end the deputy-lieutenant and magistrate was led off by the town-officers. At the door I.e gave directions to them where to carry the col lection ; on which a gentleman, who had annoyed him considerably during the evening, remarked that this would not be a but densome task. The rent collected at the door on this occasion, we are told, was 3s. 6d. ; but deduct for broken decanter (exclusive of its contents), say 93.-2 s. 9d. And thus ended the proceedings.— Fife Journal THE SWINDLER WYNDHAM. The truth of Wyndham's death, which was recently published, having been questioned in a letter signed " J. C. Dowsing, late manager," the Glouce..ier Journal, which originated the account of the swindler's exit from the stage of life, gives the following further particulars: —"After reading the above letter, we deemed it abso lutely necessary to make some more minute inquiries as to the truth of our original statement, the result of which has been to satisfy us of the general correctness of the paragraph, with one important exception, namely, an inaccuracy of date. The death of the poison Page, Wyndham, or Wellesley, took place. not on the 20th of June, as previously stated, but on the 29th of August, at an inn on the banks of the Wye, between the towns of Hay and lluilth, and he was buried on the Ist of September. At the time of his death he was, as we stated, acc o mp an i e d by a woman w h o passed as his wife, but who, when her companion was seized with sudden and mortal illness, acknowledged that she had no claim to the title. and had only known Mr. rage a few weeks, having met him in London, and agre:d to accompany him into Wales. On death taking place, a highly re spectaLle gentleman of the legal profession was sent for to examine the deceased's papers and effects, and amongst them found the names of Wyndham and Wel lesley, with bankers' vouchers in both those names. Particulars as to his family and connexions were also obtained, arid communication of his decease made to I them, as we mentioned in our former paragraph. We onght perhaps to state that we have obtained these facts through tl e medium of gentlemen connected with an extensive banking establishment in this city, who have been in correspondence on the subject with the attorney who made the examination of the dead man's papers, and supplied the bank with the particulars. The de ceaFed, we understand, will be remembered in the city of Hereford from his exploits there a few years ago, where, as Captain Page, he created a great sensation in the character of a military man and man of fashion, but left the place very considerably in debt. That the de ceased Mr. Page was identical with Captains Wyndham and Wellesley we think there can be no doubt—the bankers' vouchers alone, accompanied by the names, af fording tolerably circumstantial proof. But though this particular gentleman may have finished his swindling career, he is not the last of his class ; and the suspicions of Mr. Dowsing are not, therefore, at all misplaced. Captain Wyndham's mantle will, no doubt, fall upon some other brother of the trade,' against whose plau sible contrivances for carrying on fraud and imposition the public cannot be too much on their guard." SINGULAR HALLUCINATION.—A respectable-look ing man, past the middle age, was placed at the bar of the Court house, on Saturday last, charged by Edward Smith, with having committed an assault upon him. The defendant, whose name is William Horne, and his residence at Holbeck, appears, by the statement of Mr. Naylor, solicitor, and the complainant, to have imbibed the extraordinary notion that a lady residing near him has defrauded him out of considerable property ; and he takes every opportunity of annoying her, by shouting after and assaulting her servants and work-people, and other species of annoyance. Early last week the com plainant was employed to repair some railings for the lady in question, when defendant rushed from the house, armed with a poker, claimed the rails as his property, and dared the complainant to repair them, and by way of enforcing his commands, he " helped" Smith to a " crack" with the weapon. Mr. Horne, in defence, still persisted that tue property had belonged to himself, and unjustly taken from him, and for the truth of his aver ment appealed to a gentleman in court, who protested that it was an idle chimera. The consequence was, that Mr. Horne was hound over, in his own recognisance of 201., and two sureties in 10/. each, to answer any charge preferred against him at the sessions. But the matter (lid not end here; Mr. Horne had scarcely reached home, when he renewed his attack upon poor Smith, who has especially fallen under his displeasure ; and on Monday morning he again made his bow to the bench, this time in the character of a prisoner. Mr. Sanderson, solidi. tor, defended him, and the bench bound him over in two sure ies of 251., and himself in 501, to keep the peace.— Leeds Times. _ HIGHWAY ATTACK.—On Saturday night last, about nine o'clock, a man came to the Gloucester police-station with his head tied up, and much bruied and bleeding, from a very savage attack which had been made upon him about three miles from this city on the Bristol-road. He appeared to be an itinerant stationer, and had a bundle of paper with him. His statement was, that he was joined on the road by a young man apparently' not more than fifteen or sixteen years of age, who en tered into conver sa ti on w ith hi m , an d wa lk e d in his company for some distance. The man remarked, he wanted to hasten to Gloucester to buy him a pair of shoes, for he was almost barefoot. His com panion inquired what sort of shoes he intended to buy, or how much he intended to give for them. The man replied he could not afford to give much for them as he had not much money. Soon afterwards the young fellow, who was armed with a stout stick, dropped a little behind, and struck the man three tremendous blows on the head, and one on the left hand, as the poor fellow held it up to defend his head. Although almost stunned by the blows, he closed upon his assailant, and in the course of a desperate struggle, he bit off the fellow's nose, with the loss of which important feature the juvenile highwayman made off in an opposite direction to Gloucester. The man's story was somen hat extraordinary certainly, but his badly- wounded head and hand plainly showed that he had been engaged in au encounter of extreme violence. Nothing more, however, has been he ard of the robber, although the loss of his nose will be very well calculated to make a marked man of him for life, if it does not lead to his detection at present. If any youth in the neigh bourhood should be found without this necessary as well as ornamental appendage to " the human face divine," it would be right he should be called upon to give a good account of the missing member.—Gloucester Journal. The long projected marriage between the Earl of Waldegravo and Mrs. Milward, of Hastings, was cele brated on Tuesday morning at All Souls Church, Lang ham-place. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chi chester officiated. The whole proceedings were of a most private nature, only the more immediate members of the respective families being present.

WILLIAM HERBERT (THE MOUSE), AND JAMES ED WARDS (OF CHELTENHAM), FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—This match, as those who interest themselves in matters pugi listic are already aware, was a trial of skill between a well-known London sparrer, Herbert, who has twice won laurels in the prize-ring, and Edwards, a provineial star, whcse rising in the metropolitan horizon may be dated only from this 7th of December. Nevertheless, in his own country he is accounted a luminary of the first magnitude, and has thrown sundry minor bodies into total eclipse. The betting at the Barrington Arms, Shrivenham, "ruled," as the commercial men say, " at par," and the notes we saw transferred to the stakeholder were laid at even with sovereigns or other convertible medium. At twelve the belligerents were on the ground, an elastic piece of turf, about two miles from the town, and a trifle less from the rail way station which marks 72 miles from London per iron ribband. Sears (of Cheltenham) and Harry Broome seconded Edwards, while Barnash and Jem Turner, esquired Herbert. To describe the rounds of a fight unexampled in the whole range of pugilistic re cord, and to recapitulate the 167 rounds of which it consisted, and the chances and changes which four hours and thirty-one minutes gave rise to, at the close of which, darkness put an end to the contest, would be " stale, flat, and unprofitable," even did we not thereby exclude matter of more " pith and moment." We will, hoe ever, attempt at outline of the contest. Herbert, a miniature t Hercules in shoulder, breast, and biceps, compact at, n 1 , close-knit, seemed calculated for lengthened wear and tear, added to which his bear was evidently intohveorkiginhgt place; Edwards was his contrast in all but cot rage_ th greyhoundish, long reached , and h atchet - faced, stand ing right toot foremost, and shifting with most pr activity and coolness. He exhibited the sharpest, specimen of a slice of " Single Gloucester" that Chel tenham ever produced. _His style of milli ng was, for cut he first 20 rounds, effective, and Herbert's frontispiece was curiously illuminated in colour, his left eye exhibiting his nam, sake—a "mouse"—and his r i g h t following ft. Subsequently, from the 25th to the both his o thr s o h u o n r d t , ar te s rb a e n r d t had gamely to force the fighting, but tubby build gave the shifty Edwards a pull in his favour —he fought en the retreat and got down delivering an ugly smack with the rieht, i o n ee t a h s e ien st e j l ' i le of the late Young Dutch Sam, though not with the might be, the forl 120th a mo effect, or hand.

FATAL AFFRAY AT CllEUlRA.—Tuesday evening an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hos pital, on the body of William Woodhans, aged 31 years, lately residing at No. 9, Ellis-street, Sloane-street, Chelsea. The deceased was a painter. On Tuesday night, the 24th ult., he and several companions were drinking at the Hans Town Tap, Lower George-street, when the deceased had some words with a man named George Mitchell, respecting the pa) ment of a pint of beer, and they ultimately commenced fighting in the street. They both fell heavily to the ground, the deceased being underneath. They got up and resumed the fight, and the deceased was thrown a second time, but was unable to get up again. The police came and assisted the deceased, when they found he had received a contused wound at the back of the head, from which the blood was issuing profusely. The deceased was subse quently taken to Mr. Boswood's surgery, wher e th e wound was dressed, and he somewhat rallied. The police afterwards removed him to the above hospital. Mr. C. Hyde, the house surgeon, said the deceased was admitted with a scalp wound at the base of the skull. The deceased remained until ten o'clock on the following day, when he left the institution, although witness begged of him to remain. He returned, and was readmitted and warded, hen erysipelus in the head supervened, fol lowed by infilmmation of the whole scalp, neck, and face, from the wound, which caused his death on Friday last. The jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death.'' MDLLE. RACHEL.—The Siecle of Monday says that it has received a letter from Mdlle. Rachel, contradicting its assertion of licr having forsaken Judaism, and be come a convert to the Catholic faith. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Lauder, her Ma jesty's Consul at the Dardanelles, died on the 14th ult., of typhus fever. COURT OF REVIEW, Dec. 9. POLLARD V. TAYLOR. This was the petition of the plaintiff, who was the representative of the Bra Cord Banking Company, and prayed that a fiat of bankruptcy which had been ob tained might be superseded. It appeared from the statement of Mr. SWANSTON, who appeared in support of the petition, that the liabi lities of the defendant exceeded 1,5001., of which his elient's debt amounted to more than half, and the de fendant had made a deed of settlement prior to his obtaining the fiat in bankruptcy, in last September, which, it was contended, precluded him from receiving the benefit of the act of the Court. O.i the part of the defendant., it was alleged that the trustees to the settlement had not discharged their duties, and that some of his creditors refused to accede to that deed of settlement, so that he had no means of protect ing himself from utter ruin but by adopting the course he had taken. At the conclusion of the arguments, Sir J. li. BRUCE said he would not state what course he should have deemed it his duty to pursue in this case had he been satisfied that the fiat was issued wholly for improper purposes. He was satisfied, however, that the fiat had not been issued for the benefit of the creditors, nor yet with a view to the bankrupt's own legitimate interest. Whatever might be expected to be the suc cess of such a measnre as that of the bankrupt's, it was clearly established by the evidence that the effect of it had been either effectually to prevent or materially ob struct the execution of the trusts. It was of no im portance whatever whether or not th e trustees had in all cases executed their duty diligently, as far as related to the case in its present stage. It was certainly competent for the bankrupt, if there were such mis management as would justify the course, to make an application to the Court to be protected from th e e ff ects of such. In his whole experience he was never aware or a case, to the best of his recollection, where it was more the duty of the Court to nullify a fiat, which he would accordingly do, with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 9. PLINISIER V. ANDERSON. Mr. Sergeant Jones and Mr. Udale were for the plain tiff; and Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Wordsworth for the defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. John Piimmer, the proprietor of the Anchor Brewery, Chel sea, to recover 40/. 13s. 7d. from the defendant, Mr. J. T. Anderson, • who occupies a beer-shop called the " Royal Oak," in Dervill-street, Bethnal•green, of which the plaintiff is the tenant. The defendant entered into the premises in question in the month of March, 843, he agreeing to pay a rent of 221. er annum, and that the plaintiff should supply him with beer and ale. Various payments were made on account of the commodities supplied, but on balanc ing the accounts in May last, the sum for which the action was brought was found due, and which the de ft.ndvnt refused to pay, pleading that he never was it - debtud. Evidence was adduced to show the delivery of va rious quantities of ale and beer; that th e runn i ng ac count between the parties, on being balanced in May, showed the above-mentioned balance in favour of the plaintiff, who allowed the defendant 51. per cent, discount on all sums paid by him. The defence was that the plaintiff was really indebted to the defendant for money expended, and for time and trouble in endeavouring to obtain a spirit license for ano ther house belonging to the plaintiff; for which he claimed upwards of 501.; that he was simply placed in the house in question to sell beer and ale for the plaintiff, at a commission of 10s. per barrel, and Si. per cent. discount; and that he paid the rent to the owner of the house for the plaintiff. Evidence was adduced on the part of the defendant to show that such an arrangement had been made. The plaintiff's son, however, was called, and proved that the defendant was allowed 101. for his expenses; that no arrangement was made to pay 10s. per barrel; that lie was his father's tenant, and that if he obtained the spirit license, which he did not, he was either to give the plaintiff a promissory- note for 1,200/, the value of the other house, the Victoria, or to have 100/. for his trouble. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, WOODS AND FIELD V. THOMS AND ANOTHER. This was on a bill of exchange for 272/ Is. incurred for hops supplied to the defendants by the plaintiffs, who are hop merchants in Mark -lane. The defendants are brewers at HungeriEbrd, in Wiltshire. Mr. Joseph Rayner, th e plaintiff ' s traveller, proved the hand writing of Matthews, one of the defendants. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. COLT- _RTGIOLLF V E . X LO C Rb IIE c y R U zO E N R . , Dec. 9. The LORD CHIEF BARON intimated, that in consequence of the order obtained during the progress of the action, from Lord Langdale, by the application of the defendant for the purpcse of taxing the bill of costs of the plaintiff in the present action, he was not quite certain but that the wit , ,le of the proceedings which bad alread3 been taken in this court should have been dis pensed with. It was his opinion that the interpretation to be given to the order of Lord Langdale was that the question of liability s iould first be tried, and if decided against the defendant, then the amount of the verdict to be regulated according to the taxation. After a short disci's:4ton, it was arranged that the matter should be reforred to Mr. Willis, with power to call to his assistance thin services of one of the officers of the taxing master. GREACIITY V. BARNARD. This was an action -- 4) recover a balance alleged to be due from the defendairt for professional, travelling, and hotel charge:, connect ed with a survey of three miles and tLree-quarters of the Sb uth Midlands an d South ampton Junction Ilai!rivay, of w hi ch de f en d an t wa s en gineer. It appeared that the. :plaintiff had been engaged to com plete the survey at the; rate of 25/. per mile, but that when surveying some la nd, the property of the Duke of Buckingham they were ordered WI by his Grace. They, however, were convic'zef . of trespass, and placed in " du rance vile" by some of 6 cers of the law. A representa tion of these circumstar .ces was made by the plaintiff to the defendant, who 4)4 rmed him that the survey must BIRTHS, On the sth inst., at John-street, Bedford-row , t ilt Richard Edward Van Heythuysen, Esq., of a son. usoy O.
