WOOD U. 'TAUNTON . . This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendant from usirtg a patent invention for the manu facture of windlasses, &c. It appeared that the defendant bad constructed a certain description of machinery for the above purpose, for which a patent had been obtained. Some time back plaintiff purchased a moiety of the invention, and both plaintiff and defendant entered into partnership on their common property. However they had now fallen out, and they were desirous of dissolving that partnership, the invention in the meantime not being worked to the satisfaction of either party. Mr. Turner and Mr. Prin appeared for t! ,e plaintiff, and Mo:zsrs. Kinclursley and Daniell fur the defendants. , After sonic discussion, His LORDSIIIP ordered the matter to stand over, with a view to an arrangen,ent between the parties. VIUE•CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. C. WIGRAM.) PENNINGTON v. BUCKET. Mr. RoIkIILLY, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated the case, from which it appeared that the Rev. Abel Collin Launder, of Nottingham, by a will, dated the 31st of Atigi-t. 180 i, after making several devizes, &C., bequeathed to Mr. T: J. Rawson and to Mr. John Exley and others, heirs in trent, all the stock standing in his name in the Three per Cent. Consols, with specific direction to pay the same to Margaret Morton and others, and to pay, or cause to be paid, the interest of other stock to certain unbeneficed curates in Nottingham, whose income and salaries did not exceed 351., donations after the following rate, viz , to unmarried curates 101., to a married curate with a family 201.; and it was the intention of the testator no donation of this kind should be given more than once to the same party; and that in ease of such donations not being claimed, they should be considered as being lapsed, and go to the Rev. H. Thorp and others, afterwards mentioned in his will. Mr. T. J. Rawson died on the 12th of October'', 1843, and appointed by his will the plaintiffs his executors. Mrs. Margaret Norton died in the April of 1843, and some of the defendants claimed the money she left as a part of the personal residuary property of the testator, Abel Collin Launder, whose sole representatives they alleged themselves to be. The Rev. George Wilkins, Archdeacon of Nottingham, claimed ex officil to be entitlsd to 4,4181. 10s. 3d, oivi dends accruing since the death of Mrs. Norton under the will of the testator. _ _ After the arguments had concluded, His HONOUR said he would reserve his judgment till he hat read the will. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DIY.) HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS. Immediately after the Judges had taken their seats this morning, Earl Spencer, Sir George Grey, and the Right Hon. Thomas Babbington Macauley entered the. Court, by the Judges' entrance, and took the oath of allegiance to her Majesty, and the oath declaring that they would not use the influence of their offices to " injure the rights and privileges" of the Church of England, as by law established. They then withdrew. The decision of the Court in the case of Reynell v Lewis was therefore postponed, and the case of ViarLD V. HOP INS was proceeded with. Mr. MARTIN now showed cause against the rule ob tained in this case by Mr. Watson a few days since. The arguments were not concluded at the rising of the Court: COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) LOCHLAW V. JORDEN. Mr. MILLER, in this case, which was an action of er n]. con., applied to have the trial put off, on the ground that the defendant had carried away the plain tiff's witnesses, his own sons, who are under age. This was the second action, but in the first he was non-suited through the absence of witnesses, and the defendant had thrown him into prison for the costs. • The COURT granted the application. BANKRUPTCY,—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner CoULBURN.) IN RE THOMAS DAY. To day was appointed for a dividend meeting, under the estate of this insolvent, who was secretary to the Southwark Commercial Savings' Bank, and clerk to the Commissioners of Sewers. His debts amounted to about 5,7001. In the course of the meeting a point of considerable interest arose, on a claim being put in to prove for the sum of 3001, for money advanced on an annuity granted to a g‘ntleman named Tapon. The question was whe ther the proof could be admitted for its present value, or its value at the time the money was advanced. Sa ve, al cases were quoted, in one of which 8,0001. had bee❑ paid, but the party, whose life was assured, ye as so improved at the time of the bankruptcy that it was estimated at 10 000/., and it was held that the proof should be admitted for the full amount. The Le arced COMMISSIONER, after hearing a long argument, held that the Act 6, Geo. IV., prevented that, and that he was bound to take into consideration the value at the time of proof, having reference to the money paid. He should, therefore, admit the proof, not for the full amount, but take the Government scale of its value at the present age of the bankrupt. It was granted when the bankrupt was fifty, when an annuity, is held worth Ili years' purchase ; he was now sixty four, and it was w orth eight years' purchase. The proof was then admitted for 2141. This will be a second dividend, and will be declared in a few days. former marriage. Her husband has fled, and there is a prospect of more carnage in that wretched country. Elie Nizam's dominions present the usual picture of inextricable confusion, arising from bad financial arrangements. The Government of India has re-opened the Five per Cent. Loan. The notice was published in Bombay on the 14th of October, and within 24 hours all the public securities fell 10 per cent. A sort of panic has seized the holders of the Company's paper. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Henry Kelly, a young man employed by Messrs. FMK ford, the extensive railway carriers, was brought before Mr. Greenwood charged as follows :—lt appeared that the prisoner, about nine o'clock last night, was driving one of the Camden-town station waggons with three horses at a rapid pace along the New-road on the wrong side of the way, when he came in contact with a cab, which he completely turned over, and smashed the two shafts, the springs, and a part of the body, and so vio lent was the shock that the horse was also knocked down and very severely injured. The driver was pitched out over the horse's head and had a most miraculous escape from being killed. When the prisoner haw what he had done, he whipped his horses as hard as he could, and set them a galloping at top speed ; but a large body of the G division of police, who were marching out of the station• house on night duty, having witnessed the occurrence, stopped him, but not without some difficulty and danger. For the defence, a fellow-servant of the prisoner, named Whittlemore, was called, who swore that the prisoner was driving at a very moderate pace, and that he neither whipped the horses, nor, in fact, had any whip with him. Mr. GREENWOOD said he did not believe one word the last witness had stated. He should fine the prisoner 40s. for furious driving, and, in default of payment, one months' imprisonment ; and he should also order him to pay 21., on account of the damage done to the cab. Two notorious females, named Perrin, who are the terror of the publicans in the neighbourhood, were sen tenced to twenty-one days' imprisonment for violently assaulting Mr. Goodwin, a licensed victualler in Bald win's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane, and smashing a number of panes of glass in his shop. There was much anxiety about the new Governor of Bombay, who was expected without much delay. Sir David Pollock, the new Chief Justice, had ar rived, but was not expected to take the oaths until the departure of his predecessor, Sir H.Roper, on the 2d of November. The health of the Superintendent of the Indian Navy was much impaired, and he must follow the example of Sir George Arthur, and soon retire from the heats of India. OVER LAND MAIL (From the Times.) We have received by extraordinary express from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipation of the Overland Mails from both Bombay and Calcutta. The dates are from Calcutta to the Bth, and from Bombay to the 15th of October. The Bombay mails of the 15th of October bring important intelligence. The British troops in the north-western provinces of India are in movement, in consequence of the difficulties in which the new Maharaja, Ghoolab Singh, is placed. In conformity with the provisions of the treaties of last March, he during some months has endeavoured to obtain possession of the Vale of Cashmere ; but he has encountered unexpected opposition from Seikh Emaum-ood-Deen, the son of one of his own old confederates, who has governed that district during Many years. The Seikh has raised the standard of . resistance to Ghoolab; the latter sent a force to reduce him, but the Cashmerian mountaineers beat Ghoolab's forces and slew the commander. Seikh Emaum-ood-Deen has assumed the title of Emir-001-Moomemin, and has attempted - to make it a religious war against the Seikhs, whether under - Ghoolab or under the Lahore Government. The Mahommedan tribes in the neighbourhood appear disposed to support the Emir- 001-Moomemim. Cashmere is known as a most remarkable tract to the north-westward of- the ; Punjaub. It is healthy and fertile,' and the in-habitants have long - been.cele-' brated for their industri. 'riorn its situation, as well as from its being enclosed amongst raty mountains, it may be called the most important military position in that central part of Asia, and it is, like Gibraltar to the Mediterranean, the key to India, for no invasion • can ever jake,place,thropgh the_Purijuub while there is a force in the. Vale ois-,.Casliinere- ready to . cut off the supplies of the assailants. The extent of Cashmere is about 120 miles in length and 70 in breadth. It was annexed to the Dooranee empire by Ahmed Shah in 1752, and in 1819 Runjeet Singh subdued it by intrigues, and governed it by Mahommedans ; after the defeat of the Seikhs in March last it was ordered to form a part of the kingdom which the Governor-Geueral con ferred on Ghoolab Singh. The Vale of Cashmere has seven passes, through which it may be entered ; they are scarcely passable for even horses. The son of the old Governor may seize these passes, and defy G-holab during the winter months, that is, until May next. While thus embarrassed by his new and refractory subjects, Ghoolab applied to the British authorities, and they have sent a force of 6,000 men, under General Wheeler, from the Jullunder Doab to occupy Ghoolab's capital, while he proceeds with all his forces to put the rebellion down. To render the matter more singular, the British, who are not bound by treaty to assist Ghoolab against his internal op ponents, have persuaded the Government of Lahore to aid Ghoolab by dispatching 10,000 to the passes of Cashmere. The-son of the old Seikh Emaum-ood-been, who was long a servant of the Lahora Governmeut, i s supposed to be influenced by intrigues set on foot to inj GovernmentGhoolab,ure of L whonhorishea. hated for his treachery b y the There is no doubt of the double defeat of Ghoolab, and the latest intelligence is that the Emir is making preparations to resist, and that the British are about to move towards Cashmere.

JO u H n lV ti ' l O w F ith E in A th G e last LAN half f 3 century,vols. /3y th H e en a ra v C an u t r a l g in e g s . derivable from the combination of history and fiction were to a very considerable extent unrecognised. We might almost say that until the commencement of that period they were unrealised. During a con siderable interval, indeed, novels were literally scouted by a large proportion of the community. From an idle and contemptible affectation of wisdom, many individuals were formerly disposed to treat those productions as detestable or frivolous, or even bath sometimes. A remarkable alteration in this particular is now-a-days perceptible. The novelist is admitted to the position to which he is entitled in literature, and that position is by no means contemptible or uninfluential. He is treated with the distinction which his profession deserves. Influencing society more than almost any other class of authors ; inculcating generous sentiments and enobling principles under the most alluring guise ; depicting the superficial, and disclosing the hidden characteristics of society with a faithful pencil ; and elevating the aspirations by acting upon the sus ceptibilities of his readers, he has a peculiar claim upon our attention and consideration, and that claim he has forced us (meaning society) to acknowledge. We are of course alluding to the most eminent class of novelists. Although many distin guished writers had conduced by their compositions to this extraordinary change in popular opinion, it was reserved for Sir Walter' Scott to demonstrate in a remarkable manner the solid benefits which might acrue from the sagacious intermixture of fictitious in cident and actual occurrences. By a succession of inimitable works that Prince of Novelists rendered the real dignity and merits of historical romance ap parent. He showed that by that beautiful species of composition a more vivid idea of past ages and of by gone events was conveyed to the perception of the million than by more sober and more voluminous records. He showed that a clearer conception of the characters of the departed illustrious might be formed from those agreeable delineations than from the por traitures of more didactic scribes. He showed with a singular felicity the mode in which instruc tion might be inextricably mingled with amuse ment, and how in the pages of the historical ro mancist the spirit of departed generations might be revived, for the improvement as well as for the re creation of the living multitude. " Kenilworth" re stored us to the days of Leicester and Elizabeth ; the " Fortunes of Nigel" to those of James I. and jingling Geordie; "Anne of Gierstein" to the mys terious proceedings of the Veremgericht; the " Talis man" to the deeds of Cceur de Lion in Palestine ; " raverley" to the tribulations of the young Pre tender and his upholders; " Quentin Durward" to the reign of Louis XL ;, " Ivanhoe," again, to the first Richard ; and so on through the whole cata logue of those splendid productions. Eminently suc cessful, however, as the great Scotchman was in this style of narrative, he has, in that very eminence of success, shown the difficulty of making any such achievement ; he has proved to all his successors, that if one of the most arduous undertakings in literature is the composition of a good tragedy, one of the next degree of difficulty is the penning of a good historical romance. The author of the present work has been evidently fully aware of the many perils he would have to encounter, of the many pitfalls he would have to overleap, of the many obstacles he would have to annihilate, before he could hope for its fortunate ' completion. The very excellence of the entire story is a testimony that the narrator was conscious of the existence of the obstructions he has vanquished so well. Mr. Curling is already known by his novel entitled " The Soldier of Fortune." The three vo lumes lying under consideration assure us that he may acquire a familiar and distinguished name amongst our novelists, if he only persevere in the course upon which he has adventured. " John of England" is a picturesque and beautiful revival of one amongst the most striking and eventful periods of our national history. As the title indicates, the plot is situated partially in England, partially in France, during the reign ,of the meanest and vilest of our Kings, John, the brother of Richard Cceur de Lion, and Geoffrey Plantagenet. Mr. Curling has admirably discriminated the disposition of this cowardly and treacherous monarch ; but, aware of the disagreeable impressions which are alone con veyed by a contemplation of his actions, he has ren dered the incidents connected with King John subor dinate to those of the fictitious characters introduced. ' And in this we conceive consists the principal success of the romance. The story associated with the heroine, Bertha Daundelyonne, is most felicitously conceived. From the interest excited in her fortunes, from the anxiety aroused by the perils of her capture and imprisonment, and from the yet greater anxiety experienced in her behalf during her withdrawal from the power of her profligate captors, we shall not de tract by giving a cold epitome. There is almost as much art visible in the. construction of the plot as there is nature in its development. In the beautiful and curiously accomplished Bertha, and in her companions in the romance, the hopes and wishes of the reader are aroused and sus tained throughout. The author has thoroughly en tered into the singular character of the age of which King John was what Byron calls " the Thunderer of the scene." His imagination has reverted to that century of misrule, and with an intuitive sagacity his hand has sketched the manners and habits and dispo position of the nation as it then appeared. Aided by the monkish bookmen of that period, he has pour trayed the people with a peculiar and charming vividness ; from the palace to the dungeon, from the cottage to the battlement. We observe that Mr. Curling has introduced, as an episode to the principle tale, the sufferings and mysterious assassination of Prince Arthur Plantagenet. If our memory serves us faithfully, this mournful catastrophe has already been introduced to modern novel readers in Mr. G. P. R. James's "Philip Augustus." It is, however, treated with so much of artistic skill in " John of England," that we are persuaded the majority will be grateful for the revival. In his description of the murder committed upon the unfortunate prince, we observe that Mr. Curling attributes it personally to the base monarch himself. Whether he is justified in so doing we think is extremely questionable. The simple circumstances are, that Prince Arthur was murdered in a dungeon of the Castle of Rouen, April 3, 1202. It does not appear who was his actual de stroyer, and the imputations upon John are attribut able rather to the inuendoes than to the positive assertions of the different historians. One writes that the Prince suddenly disappeared, but in what manner nobody could conjecture, " Subito evanuit, modo fere omnibus ignorato ;" another says, "feria quints ante Pascha propria manu interfecit ;' while a third is more explicit in his insinuations, " Rex suspectus," he writes, " habebatur ab omnibus, quasi ilium mane propria occidisset !" William Brito, indeed, confidently maintains (Phi lipid. VI. 167.) that John stabbed his nephew twice with a dagger, in a boat, and subsequently threw his corpse into the river. But how does he attempt to substantiate this bold assertion ? He merely states it. We cannot but coincide with modern historians in thinking that this assassination by John's own hand is highly improbable, seeing that so many vil lains were in the world who would have snatched at so facile a means of obtaining emolument. Mr. Curling, however, with the allowable license of the romancist, has given implicit credence to Brito. A more interesting fiction has not been issued from the press for a long period than " John of England. It reminds one of the oriental metaphor of Me reflection of a rainbow upon plates of gold. We hear that a movement is about being made to form an asylum in Wales for the education and main tenance of the deaf and dumb children of the poor. , Several gentlemen in London have promised to come forward and subscribe liberally in aid of the above ob ject; and it is hoped that the respectable portion of the community in the Principality will take an interest in so laudable an object. There have been found in more than one instance in south Wales five deaf and dumb children in the same family, and, being destitute of in struction, they are consequently bordering on idiotism. — Welshman. THE LATE TUNNEL ACCIDENT AT PERTH.—We noticed the week before last a serious accident which had taken place on the Tuesday previous, at the tunnel, from the falling in of the roof. The body of the work man then supposed to be entombed among the rubbish was found on Friday, and from appearances his death must have been instantaneous. Ile was an Irishman. On the same day another of the sufferers died in the in firmary. The others injured on the same occasion are convalescent.—Perthshire Courier. SUSPECTED MURDER AT SUTTON.—The inquiry into the case of George Taylor, whose body was dis interred after being in the rave two years, to ascertain the presence of arsenic, which it was suspected had been administered by Elizabeth Smith, his housekeeper, was resumed on Tuesday last. Further evidence having been given to show that the accused parties in recrimi nating eac h other had implicated themselves, the coroner referrd to a report which had been received from Pro fessor Taylor, who stated that he had completed the analysis of the remains transmitted to him, and had been unable to detect the presence of any metallic poison. Mr. Pettinger, the surgeon, gave it as his decided opi nion, after hearing the evidence, and from the symptoms he saw in Taylor, that he had died from the effects of arsenic. Dr. Hugh Morten, of Newark, coincided in that opinion. After the coroner had summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Elizabeth Smith and Sarah Taylor. DARING BURGLARY. --Yesterday information was forwarded to the police that the premises of Mr. Tylery, No. 70, Long-lane, Barbican, had been entered on Friday morning, and the entire stock of watches and jewellery carried off, as well as ninety gold and silver watches, valued at 2001., that had been left for repair. A BLUE Heux.—On Tuesday last, a hare of a singular. colour, which had been seen in Mr. Wood bridge's coverts, at Bigods, for a year or two, and called the " blue hare," was killed by Dr. Barnes. Its fur re sembled that of the grey squirrel, and bad a very singular appearaneeChelmsford Chronicle. MARSHALL V. POWELL AND POWELL. This was an action to recover the amount of a pro missory note for 411. Os. Bd., drawn by the defendants, and delivered to the plaintiff under the following cir cumstances:— The defendants became the tenants of a farm in April last. A valuation was made, and the amount to be paid at the incoming was set down at 94/., 53/. of which was paid at once, and a promissory note given for the re mainder, on the understanding that there should be a revision of the valuation on the subsequent Ist of August, and that the parties should then give or receive, according to the value of the crops at that period. The revision was not made until the 2d of August, and was not completed until the 20th, when the former valuation was confirmed. A dispute thus arose between the par ties, who proceeded to trial. The agreement was pro duced, and was found to be unstamped ; and coupling this with the fact that the revision was not made on the Ist of August, the plaintiff was non-suited. A rule was subsequently obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the non-suit should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The case now came on for argument. Mr. BAINES (with whom was Mr. Bliss) was heard at great length in opposition to the rule. He contended that the agreement ought to have been stamped, in ac cordance with the provisions of the Stamp Act, and cited a number of cases in support of this vii w. He was engaged in a case, which was heard in the Ex chequer a short time ago, in which he had at the trial' sought to give in evidence an un stamped document, Nigmd by the defendant in the cause, setting forth that he had bought 50 railway shares, for which be would pay on a certain day. Ile held that the instrument was one which did not require a stamp, but the Court differed with him, and refused his application fur a new trial. In this case it was evident that the document, out of which the dispute arose, was one which required a stamp, in order to make it a valid document. Beside,., its provisions had not been complied with, and the defendants could not be held to be bound by such an instrument. Mr. WATSON followed in support of the rule. Ile held that the docum , nt did not require a stamp, inas much as it was a mere statement in licknovt ledgment of an understanding between the parties, and could not be looked upon in the light of a contract. The real ques- tion at issue was, whether the revision of the crops was tube on their condition at the Ist of August, or at the time it was actually made. lie held that the revision was to be made on the condition of the crops on the Ist, although the valuation might not have been made until a short time after, but when it was made it related to the condition of the crops on the Ist. The COURT considered that the parties were bound by the agreement to have a revaluation made on the Ist of August, and to abide by the result; and that the docu ment, from its peculiar nature, was admissible at the trial. - _ The rule was therefore refused on the first point, but granted on the second, so that a new trial will take place. SPENCER V. MAYNARD, AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff in forma pauperis to recover compensation for an assault and false imprisonment for six months in the Northallerton House of Correction, to which he bad been committed by the defendants, who are magistrates of the Weft Riding of Yorkshire. The case was tried some time ago, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, but the compensation they awarded was the smallest coin in the realm. A rule was subsequently obtained calling upon the defendants to show cause why they should not pay certain costs incurred by the plaintiff in unsuccessfully endeavouring to obtain his liberation by means of an habeas corpus. Mr. KNOWLES, Q.C., showed cause against the rule. He said the defendants committed the plaintiff on an in formation which was laid before them by a person named Dyer, who was the plaintiff's landlord, setting forth that he had fraudulently removed his goods, in order to avoid a distress. After being two months in prison, he obtained a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that the conviction was informal, and was brought up before Mr. Justice Coleridge, who, as the party who originally lodged the information had lodged another free fro m the defects of the old one, sent the plaintiff back to prison. Mr. Jackson, the plaintiff's attorney, had advised him not to attend to the magistrates, but the plaintiff and three others were committed. An appeal was made to the Quarter Sessions, where Jackson said this—" Only quash this indictment against the three. and I'll consent that it shall be confirmed as against Spencer." The plaintiff went back to prison, applied for the habeas corpus, was unsuccessful, and remained there the full term. The Learned Judge who tried the case told the jury that they could not include the expense in their verdict. The plaintiff by his declaration could not recover ex penses, but damages, because they arose out of an act on his own part quite it respective of the object for which he sought compensation.. Mr. BARNES, Q.C., held, on the other hand, that the expenses were incurred by the plaintiff in order to ob tain his liberation, of which he had been deprived by the acts of the defendants, that he was driven to incur them, and that the cost was ono which might have been included in a general verdict. MI: HALL, who was on the same sidz', instanced the expense as the value the plaintiff put upon his liberty, and contended that it re,olved itself into the nature of damages. The COURT discharged the rule, stating that the plain tiff had not sufficiently made out a claim to be compen sated. fl IL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. MOTTRAM. Mr. ll.A.wioNs applied to have the defendant in this ease, who was now lying in Derby gaol, on a charge of manslaughter, admitted to Lail in the country. The charge was for having caused the death of a person by administering improper drugs. He was a poor man, and an itinerant vendor of medicine. •Mr. Justice PATTESON, after reading the affidavits, granted the application—the prisoner to find bail, him self in the sum of 2001., and four sureties in the sum of 50/. each. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.), REYNELL V. LEWIS. The arguments in this case were resumed to-day by the Attorney-General, who, at considerable length, argued that as the contract was originally made with the solicitors to the company, Smith, Parkes, and Co., and that as no orders were received subsequently from the defendant, nor was there any evidence given that the liability was transferred at any time from the original parties who gave the order to the defendant in the pre sent action, or any other person who was connected with the company—under such circumstances he con tended that the verdict should be set 'vide. Mr. COWLING then followed on the same side. The LORD CHIEF BARON—WC think it advisable to take the whole of the cases involving the question of the liability of provisional committeemen, in order to come to some decision upon the subject, and lay down a general principle for guidance in all future cases. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I am informed, my. Lord, that there are some thousands of writs now floating about, and it, is desirable that the Court should give some decision during the present term. The LORD CHIEF BARON—That is the intention of the Court, and we propose to take out of their order all such cases as are now before the Court • they are the eyes of Webb v. Watts ; Wyld v. Hopkins ; Wyld v. Si an ; Rivett and others v. Wood ; Brown 'and an other v. Troup ; Goodwin v. Fisher ; and Smith v. Fisher. Such cases as may not be disposed of to-day we Align pat on a separate paper to be taken on Mondisy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWPORT PAGNEL STEEPLE CHASES. YESTERDAY.

This ancient and far-famed classic mansion and estate having, by reason of the death of the late proprietor, JohnFranceis Gwyn, Eq., been lately transferred, through the medium of George Robins, into the bands of the trustees for George Miles, El., one of the younger sons of th e l a t e wea l t hy Bristol banker and merchant of that name, a public auction, of eight days' duration, has just been concluded of the matchless tapes tries, rare old paintings, and books, antique plate and furniture, with the beautiful orange and lemon trees and plantF, the contents of the conservatory, and other effects, some account of which may not be unacceptable to the public Messrs. English, of Bath, were selected to conduct the sale, which proved one of intense interest and at traction. and a smart competition was the result, several of the most trifling and worn-out articles of furniture, from their long association with the abbey, yielding prices tenfold beyond their intrinsic value. The disposal of the plate, some of which belonged to Francis Gwyn, Secretary-at-War to Queen Anne, cccupicd..almost the whole of the first day; one lot, consisting of a set of three tea canisters, with beautiful figures and architectural and other devices, in high relief, realised 225. an ounce; another, being a richly-embossed and festooned tea kettle, stand, and lamp, fetched about 361.; a silver gilt communion chalice and patina, telonging to Edward Prideaux, Attorney-General to Oliver Cromwell, and used in the chapel, 15/. 15s. The second day was en tirt ly devoted to the sale of the paintings, some of which were very old and curious. We subjoin a list of those which produced most competition :—" The Virgin seated with the Infant Saviour, Saint John, and the Lamb," by Castillo, sold at 201. " Portrait of Cardinal Wolsey," by Holbein, 311. 10s. "Cleopatra with the Asp," by Guercino, 21/. 10s. 6d. "Romantic Landscape, with Peasants and Cattle at a Ford," 291. Its companion, "Landscape with figures on a rocky eminence," by Sal vator Rosa, 251. 14s. 6d. " Portrait of James, Duke of Monmouth, in a Field-Marshal's uniform," by Sir G. Kncller, 281. " Portrait of the Earl of Rochester, in his robes as Knight of the Guter," by ditto, 161. ss. " Classical Ruins, with Banditti playing tric-trac," by Salvator Rosa, 17/. 17s. "Venus, ;Vulcan ' :and Cupid," (School of Titian), 15 1 . " View of Seven Dials, London," (Scott and Hogarth), 421. And last, but not least, the ancient, curious, and much admired painting (on panel 27in. by 40in.), giving a minute and elaborately detailed representation of " The Life and Passion of our Saviour," evidently many centuries old, and (amongst the paintings) not inaptly termed " the gem of the Abbey," which was knocked down, after a spirited competition, at 781., to a Mr. Rainey, from whom it was immediately afterwards purchased by Mrs. Clarke, of Furnham House, Chard, at 1001., and amongst whose choice collection of paintings it will now take its place. We have it on the best authority that, for this picture the late proprietor once refused 1,0001., but, fortunately for the present possessor, this fact was not generally known until after the auction, although she was herself cogni sant of it many years since : bad it got wind amongst the various connoisseurs who competed for the painting, a much larger sum would have been obtained, if we may judge from the subsequent fidgetty and anxious manner of those who wanted it on finding it had got out of their reach. On the third day the five pieces of magnificent Arras tapestry, after the celebrated Cartoons of Raphael, presented by Queen Anne to Francis Gwyn, her Secre• tary-at-War, who hung it in the grand saloon, and for which his patriotic son refused 30,0001., offered by Count Orloff on behalf of the Empress Catherine of Russia, were knocked down for the new proprietor of the abbey at 2,2001. The subjects are-" Our Saviour appearing to his disciples after his resurrection, and delivering his charge to Pet er "-" Th e m i racu l ous draught of Fishes" -" St. Peter and St. John curing the Lame Man at the beautiful gate of the Temple"-" The Men of-Lystra sa crificing to Paul and Barnabas, as Jupiter and Mercuty," and "Ananias and Sapphire."

Among the MSS. was a " Book of Welch Genealogy, commencing with Adam," which yielded 49/. • and the second MS. volume of "Prince's Worthies of Devon, 1716," -was knocked down to Sir Thomas Phillips, the celebrated antiquarian, for 461.

The two last days were for the sale of the conservatory plants and miscellaneous articles of furniture, stock, and imple ments of husbandry, and household requisites, all of which sold remarkably well. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.N. SIA,—As it appears that considerable difficulty has been experinced in the selection of an eligible site for the Wellington Statue in the metropolis, where one of a similar character already exists, permit me to propose an appropriate position for that noble production of art, in his Grace's native land, where the only monument hitherto raised to his glory, though finished even to the pedestal, continues at yet incomplete, owing to the want of a colossal equestrian statue. I allude to the " Testi monial " in the Phcenix Park, Dublin. Doubtless the splendid trophy would be gratefully received by the people of Ireland, and the suitable gift remain a perpe tual record of the liberality and judgment of the citizens of London. Nov. 17, 1846. lIIBERNICUS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The Ripon, steam-ship, with the East India mail and 90 passengers, for Alexandria, was to have left this afternoon, but in consequence of the rough unsettled weather, she will not weigh anchor until it clears up. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk yesterday, in the pleasure grounds of Osborne ouse. The unfavourable state of the weather during the Forenoon prevented the Royal Family from taking their accustomed airings yesterday on the sea beach. There was t rio addition to the Royal dinner circle at Osborne House, on Thursday evening - . Her Royal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse, attended by Baroness Scheel, Baron Meysenbuch, and Mr. Bedford, arrived at the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway Company yes terday morning, from Casbiobusy Park, Herts, the resi dence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Earl of Denbigh received the Princess on her arrival in town, and attended her Royal Highness to the Model Prison at Pentonville, which the Princess in- spected. At five o'clock in the afternoon her Royal Highness and suite left the Easton-square terminus for Watford, on her return to Cashiobury Park. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz returned to Kew on Thursday evening, from paying a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and her tioyal Highness the Princess Caroline of Hesse, at Cashiobury Park, Herts. A deputation, respecting the Health of Towns, headed by Lord Ashley, had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home-office. The Rev. W. Elliott bad an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Mr. Bagshaw had an interview with the Right Hon ourable the Vice President of the Board of Trade, on Thursday, in Whitehall. Mr. Jan Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an in terview with the Chancellor of the Exchcquer, on Thurs lay, at Ms official residence, in Downing -street. THE WEST INDIA. MAIL. The Royal Mail packet Tweed, G. Parsons, R.N. Commander, arrived at Southampton yester day, at four P.M., bringing the usual mails, a small number of dollars on merchants' accounts, 24 tierces and 8 barrels of cof fee, some ginger, 13 cases and 122 kegs succades, 87 bales of tobacco, 4 cases of cigars, and 32 passengers. Her dates are—Demerara, October 20 ; Trinidad, 21 ; Grenada, 26 ; St. Thomas's, 30 ; Jamaica, 24. Mr. Robert Rawle, a passenger, from Trinidad, died at sea on the 16th of November. The Tweed expe rienced fine weather home, but during the last two days fell in with the bad weather we have had on the coast. The only vessel she spoke was the Bellhaven barque. On her departure from the various islands much rain had fallen, and the weather was highly favourable for the crops. Cuba bad not suffered so severely from the gale, which was so terrific at Havannah, as had been reared. By the Tweed's arrival we have scarcely any news. We learn that the company's ship Cl} de was at Grenada; Forth, at Ilavannah ; Tay, in the Gulf of Mexico; Trent, on the Spanish Main ; Eagle, at St. Thomas's ; and Reindeer, at Demerara. Public meetings continue to be held in respect to the Sugar Duties, to which the colonists seem little likely to be reconciled. _ „ The Ripon remains at the mouth of the river, with :ndian mails, weather-bound. THE PROPOSED EXPEDITION - - UNDER GENERAL FLORES. On Thursday evening last Mr. Forsayth, the principal searcher of the Customs, accompanied by other officers, boarded the ship Glenelg, lying off Gravesend, and, after inspection, seized her for a contemplated breach of the Foreign Enlistment and Equipment Act; and yesterday morning he, also, upon the same grounds, seized the Monarch and Neptune steam-vessels, lying in the East India Docks, Blackwall. It is understood that all the three vessels form part of an expedition which is being secretly fitted out in this country with the intention, by hostile means, to effect a revolution of Government in a state of South America with which we are on terms of peace and friendship. When the Glenelg was seized there had just been re ceived on board 350 men, under pretence of their being emigrants, but who, it is understood, are intended to serve as soldiers or marines. The Glenelg is a fine ship of 1,200 tons, and was heretofore employed in the East India trade; and the Monarch and Neptune are steamers of a large class, par. titularly the former, until recently . they were the pro perty of the General Steam Navigation Company. The Monarch was in the Leith trade, and the Neptune plied between London and Hamburgh. It is said that Mr. Forsayth is in possession of infor mation concerning them that leaves no doubt of all three vessels being ultimately condemned as forfeited to the Crown. JOSEPH ADY AGAIN. On Friday, Joseph Ady was brought up in custody of police constable 57 H, and placed before Mr. Ballan tine at the Thames Police•court, on a charge of obtain ing 20s. by a false pretence, from Mr. Henry Bourne, Vice-President of the inland department of the General Post-office. Mr. Bourne stated, that on the 27th ult., he received one of Joieph Ady's circulars, which represented that the writer could inform him of something to his advan tage, value 1001. and upwards, on receipt of 20s. for his costs and trouble. He replied by letter to this commu nication, that he bad no otjcctic nto pay the lee de manded, provided Ady engaged to reuvrn the money if iie did not derive the advantages held out, or some ad- vantrge equivalent to the sum paid. In consequence of Ilat I-, ply, a person waited upon him with a letter, con taining several lithographed pap , rs, lists`of next of kin, 4 X tracts of Acts of Parliament, and other mattet s, with various refirnces to Sir Peter Laurie and the Lord Mayor, and said he was deputed by Ady to ask fur 205., and when that sum was paid, Mr. Ady would give the rtquirtd informatien. Witness declined to pay the money then, hut subsequently waited upon Ady at his own house, and was accompanied by his son. He asked Ady for the information, and paici him a sovereign, for which Ady filled up a litho graphic ?orm of receipt, with a view of the Bank of England on the top of it. The receipt, which the witness put in, was read by Mr. Ballantine as follows : Received of H. Bourne, this 16th day of November, 1840, the sum of 205., as a consideration for my costs and trouble in obtaining the information, which fee I engage to return, on its being satisfac hown that no benefit results amounting to 1,0 . and upwards."— (Laughter.) After Ady had given the receipt, he asked him for the information. Ady replied, "No, I never give it verbally, friend." He inquired why he objected to do so, to which he replied, that he always sent his infor mation by post, and that he could not tell whether pro secutor was the person he represented himself to be; and if he gave him the information he might obtain pro perty to which be was not entitled. On the following day a letter, containing an enclosure, was left at his re sidence by a private band. The enclosure was a litho graphic statement that a certain assurance society was an illegal one, because clerks in orders were connected with it, and advised him to get rid of his interest in it as soon as possible.—(Laughter.) Mr. Ballantine—Are you a clerk in holy orders? Mr. Bourne—No, Sir. Mr. Ballantine—Did you ever derive any benefit from the society in question? Mr. Bourne said he held several life policies in the society, which was a flourishing one, and published its accounts annually. There were clerical directors and clerical membets, of high respectability, connected with the society. In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the prosecutor said he derived no benefit at all from the informatior. He admitted that the condition on which he paid the money was, that it was to be returned if the information was not advantageous. Mr. Pelham was proceeding to put some further ques tions, when Mr. Bourne said he did not expect such a mode of examination would be adopted, and that he had come forward on public grounds. Mr. Ballantine was satisfied the prosecutor's motites were good, and said the solicitor had a right to ask the question he had done. Mr. Pelham said he would not act with discourtesy to the prosecutor, but as he had put the prisoner in the dock as a criminal, he must prove him to be one if ho could. He asked Mr. Bourne if any time was specified for the return of the money if the information was use less. Mr. Bourne said there was not. He demanded the return of the money by letter, and that failing, he went to Ady's residence that day, and made a personal de mand of 205., and not being able to obtain it, he gave Ady into costody. He was promised information worth 1,0001. and upwards. The information he got was worth nothing. Mr. Ballantine found that Ady quoted several Acts of Parliament relating to clerical gentlemen holding shares in joint-stock companies, and finding the prosecutor belonged to a society, advised him to sell out. The case was in a nutshell was there a false pretence or not ? Mr. Pelham submitted there was no false pretence. The question was whether the information already given was worth 20s. or not ; it was known to all the world that 20s. was Ady's free or giving information. Ady had already furnished the gentleman with information, and more was to be decided in future. There was no particular time e a , g r b e e e fo d r upo n it might e b n e at a de w d eek, aff o4r prd a the informa ti o n which was to be a d vantageous to the prosecutor. Mr. Ballantine said this was not a case of false pre tence. Mr. Bourne said he had a charge of assault to prefer against Ady, who forced him out of his room when he demanded ills money, and Mr. Ballantine said he might have a summons ; but he was subsequently advised by Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, to defer his application. Mr. Ballantine said the prosecutor could summon Ady to the Court of Requests for the money.—Ady was then discharged. MARYLEBONE SAVINGS' BANK, 16, WELBECK-STREET.—Established July 5, 1830.
