LAW I NT ELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J.I.V. 27. THE KING V. II:1RWOOD. Mr. BALGUY showed cause against a rule obtained by Sir W. Follett, calling on the defendant to show cause by what: authority he claimed to exercise the office of town counci 1 ur of the LorouL i di of Derby. The Municipal Reform Act gay.! to that borough thirty-six town councillors and twelve aldermen. In November, 1835, the first election of town councillors took place, and the defendant was elected one of the six town councillors fir one of the six wards into which the horough had been divided. He was one of two persons who came in with the lowest number of votes foe that sa: d. When the town councillors had been elected, they proceeded, according to the provisions of the Statute, to elect aldermen for the horough. Ten of the al.lerm•sn were by them chosen from among their own number, and two others from the persons among the burgesses qualified to be aldermen. Ten vacancies, among which were too fur the ward to which the defendant had been elected, were thus created among the town councillors, anti a fresh elec tion of ten persons to till these vacancies took place. The two persons who had been on the first occasion lower-on the poll than the defendant were elected to till op the vacan cies in his ward ; but their election took place on a smaller number of votes than he had received on hi 3 election. All the ten vacancies were filled up, and , the corpora tion became thus for the first time constituted under the now Act. At the end of the year, namely, on the Ist of November. 1836, the time came for one-third of the mem bers of the town council to go out of oflice. -Of course, two were to go out of office for the defendant's ward, and it was insisted that as at the first election the defendant had come in upon the smallest number of votes given at that election for that waid he must be one of the two. The defendant, however, insisted that the election to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the appointment of the aldermen was an ordinary election, and was to be considered in law as taking place at the time at which the first town coun cillors were elected. The Court thought that this was a question which de served to be put in a'courso of inquiry, and so made the rule for a quo warranty absolute. THE KING V. THE I'ORFOIUTION OF BRIDGWATER , The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared on behalf of the members of the corporation of Bridgwater to show cause against a rule for a aaiulanrus to be directed to them, com manding them to prepare and execute a bond for granting to a Mr. Trevor, the town clerk of that borough, an annuity of 101/. 12s. 4d., directed to the Lords of the Treasury, to he paid him as compensation for the,loss of the office of clerk to the justices of that borough. The defendants re fused to execute this bond, because they said that Mr. Trevor had not been dismissed from his office by the new corporation, and that his office was not one which was pro perly the subject of compensation, so that, in fact, the Lords of the Treasury had no jurisdiction to make the order which they had issued, and which the applicant now sought to enforce. Sir W. FOLLETT supported the rule.—ltule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 27. WILKINSON V. HALL. The Court was occupied the greater p.trt of the day in hearing the arguments in this, which is a special case. It was an action of ejectment for double value, and the ques tion was, whether a mortgage containing a particular pro viso for the payment of interest every half year conveyed such a legal estate as amounted to a lease.—Sir F. PoL LOCK argued for the plaintiff, and -Mr. Sergeant Bolt Pas for the defendant.—The reply was deferred to a future day. PREROGATIVE COURT, JAY. 27. CLARKE V. NUNN AND WOOD. This is a suit respecting two testamentary papers, left by Mr. Charles Evans Nunn, late of Ticehurst, in the county of Sussex, who died in July, 1836, possessed of very considerable property, the personal amounting to 60,0001., and the real to upwards of 4,0001. Two allega tions were this day offered, each propounding one of the papers alluded to, one of which materially benefits Mr. Henry William Nunn, the brother and one of the execu tors of the deceased, and the other seriously affecting the interest of Miss Wood, a lady with whom the deceased cohabited. Dr. AnnAustippeared for the other parties in this suit, viz., for Mrs. Clarke, the sister and next of kin of the deceased, Mrs. Harvey, another sister, for three Misses Bovell, the deceased's nieces, and an infant son of deceased's brother, and on their behalf opposed the allegation which he contended was inadmissible in Coto. The KING'S ADVOCATE, on behalf of Mr. Henry Wm. Nunn, supported his allegation. Dr. LusniscToN followed on the same side. Dr. BURNABY, on behalf of the allegation propounding the paper in favour of Miss Wood, will be heard in the next session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Wm. Tucker, solicitor, with a great number of aliasses, was yesterday brought before Messrs. CONANT and CI1A31• BERS, to undergo another examination on numerous charges of forgery and swindling. Mr. Fletcher, of the firm of Fletcher and Co., tailors, No 128, New Bond-street, on the sth Dec. was called into the shop, and shown a list of articles which the priso ner had just given an order for. The prisoner had on a new cloak, value 4/., which belonged to the firm. The pri soner requested that the articles he had ordered might be made up as soon as possible, and sent to Lord Rolle's, with whom he said he was then staying. The prisoner then said he would take the cloak with him, and would give a check for its value. Prosecutor took the check, and allowed the prisoner to leave the shop with the cloak. The check was signed Henry Abney, and drawn on Her ries and Co., St. James's-street. On inquiry at the banker's, the answer was that the drawer never had an account with the house. The cloak was subsequently found in the hands of a pawnbroker. Thomas Seaman, shopman to Mr. Greenwood, draper, No. 33, Shoreditch, said the prisoner came to his master's shop on the 24th of December, and looked out goods which amounted to 26f. He gave a check on Messrs. Jones and Co., Lothbury, in his real name, and desired the goods to be sent to No. 24, Austin4riars. Witness presented the cheek at the banking-house, and was told the drawer never had an account with the house. Witness went to Austin friars, but no person who knew the prisoner lived at the number he had given. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday John Allison was brought up by Crawford, 131 G, charged on suspicion of stealing several valuable tablecloths.—The prisoner was remanded. UNION-BA LL. Yesterday two men, named Brooks and Pearson, in the employ of Messrs. Christie, the hat-manufacturers, of Ber mondsey, were brought before Mr. TRAIL', charged with an extensive robbery on their employers' premises. Both the prisoners were fully committed. The Members of the School of Designs met at the Board of Trade yesterday at two o'clock. The Gertraq Journals arc engaged in a wordy war on the credibility or incredibility of the following ghost story :—ln 1814, a priest named Anton, who lived at Bau renlaustern, in Wirtemborg, having made away with the patrimony of his brethren, was condemned to the flames of purgatory. A widow named Elizabeth Eslingerin, now confined in the prison of Weinsberg for fraud, stated that she had been visited by father Anton. As the apparition made more noise than was consistent with, prison regula tions, an inquiry into the fact was ordered. Several per sons, and among them Dr. Kerner, a Judge, and a Re ferendary of the Superior Tribunal, Professor Papf, Dr. Schierer, the Advocate Faas, M. Megin, a Pastor, and Baron de Hurg,el, slept in the prison, and all aiErm that they had ocular proof of the truth of the widow's asser tions. They state that a white light preceded the appear ance of the ghost, and that the whole building was shaken by a supernatural noise, while at the same time a sound was heard like the falling of drops of water. The Regis trar, M. Ekhard, received a most str*Ong testimony of the existence of the ghost on his shoulders. All these pheno mena are recorded in a narrative written and published by Dr. Kerner ; but sceptics are found to assert their convic tion that the worthy widow is capable of explaining the whole mystery. Tuesday morning Mr. William Harding, aged 75 years, and who has for many years held the situation of head porter at Coopers' Hall, Basinghall-street, expired in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, after a protracted endurance of extreme suffering, from.the injuries he received in being run over by one of the Paddington omnibuses. It appears that on the previous Friday the deceased was about to enter one of the Paddington omnibuses in Moorgate-street, when a contention arose between the conductor and that of another similar conveyance as to which should obtain the deceased for a passenger, ir. the course of which Mr. Hard ing was pushed, or fell, down, and the fore and hind wheels of the second omnibus passed over his legs. He was con veyed in a cab to the hospital, and promptly attended by Mr. Lawrence, the house surgeon. The unfortunate man hal sustained a compound fracture of the right thigh, and an extensive laceration of the left leg, the bone in different places being left quite bare. Some hopes were at first en tertained of his surviving ; but the severity of the shock the whole system had received, coupled with his advanced age, caused him to sink gradually, until death terminated his sufferings. The parties inculpated in this lamentable occurrence are at present unknown ; but a strict investiga tion, which will no doubt lead to their discovery, will be gone into on the holding of the customary inquisition by the Coroner. THE BOURBON FAMILY. Since the demise of Charles X. much uncertainty has pre vailed among the Royalists of France as to,the intentions of his son the Dauphin, nr Duke d'Angouleine. Whether his Royal Highness adhered to the Rambouillet abdication, al though the conditions upon which it was subscribed have not been fulfilled ; whether he resumed his right to the throne, or consented to the Duke de Bourdeaux being acknowledged as King Henry V. by the friends of his house, has excited the solicitude of a numerous party, who, under the denomina tion of " Legitimates," include a large proportion of the wealthiest inhabitants of France, and her oldest families, and who, as regards honourable feeling and poliCeel con sistency, are far more respectable than any other existing in that country. Their scruples have just been _re moved. Within the last few days an authentic decla ration of the Dauphin's intentions has reached Paris. It ' is surprising that it should not have been received there earlier, for it is dated the Bth of November, three days only ,after the death of Charles X. We have not the document before us, but its substance - is pretty nearly as follows : As long as the late King lived his son abstained from ex pressing his opinion upon a political situation, the direction of Which belonged to his Majesty alone ; but since it has pleased Divine Providence to remove him from this world, the Dauphin deems it his duty to declare that his intention is, that the Rambouillet abdication be construed in favour of the Duke de Bourdeaux. Nevertheless, in t'.c painful circumstances of the Royal Family, the Dauphin further declares that ite razume., the title of King, but solely to re tain over the children of his late beether, the 'juke de Berry, an authority which it is necessary that a person of experience should be invested with. His Royal Highness mists that he will make every effort towards the re-esta blishment of the lawful authority in Prance t that as soon as it shall please Divine Providence to restore the legitimate branch to the throne it is the Duke de Bordeaux who shall be acknowledged as King, by the name of henry V. ; that lie (the Dauphin), content with having fulfilled his task, shall cease to exercise an authority which his nephew will henceforth be able to exercise for the glory of his country and the welfare of his subjects. As we have already observed, we have not the document before us, but copies of it circulate in the higher circles of the French capital ; and we could name the illustrious per sonage into whose bands the Dauphin has delivered the original declaration. We may ad J that the despatch which enclosed it was accompanied with a letter from the Duke de Bluts, a circumstance the more remarkable as that Noble man was believed to he opposed to such a step, and even stated to have advised the Dauphin formally to revoke the Rambouillet abdication, on the ground of its having been made with the stipulation that Henry V. should be imme diately proclaimed by the Lieutenant-General of the King dom, the Duke d'Orleans. Though the document circulates at Paris, the Journals of that capital venture not to publish it. The laws lately enacted against the Press do not allow the most authentic facts to be published, when they may remind the public of the claims of the banished family. Thus, should any newspaper venture the insertion of the document, even with a censure of it, it would be liable to a prosecution for attacking the rights which Louis Philip is fictitiously declared by law to derive from the election of the French nation. These details may be deemed very unimportant just now, that the elder branch of the Bourbons are writhing under the increasing rieeurs of unmerited adversity ; but should one of those catastrophe; so frequent in the annals of France shake the insecure throne of the Duke d'Orleans, and threaten the country with another convulsion, we may be hold a strong manifestation in favour of the return of Henry V. The Duke d'Angouleme would not, perhaps, under such circumstances, excite the same hopes and wishes, and the partisans of his illustrious house must, we should think, consider that he has acted wisely, both in his interest and that of his youthful nephew, in resigning his own rights to the throne of France, We shall conclude this article with the transcript of a letter written by the young Duke de Bordeaux to one of the most eminent members of the Royalist party. We have every reason to believe that the lines were spontaneously written by the young Prince, without the assistance of any person :—" M—, you will say in France that my thoughts are ever turned towards the glory and happiness of my coun try ; that neither time nor absence can ever diminish the lively interest that I take therein ; and that my compatriots may always depend upon my constancy and affection. It is a heritage which the King, my grandfather, whose loss I so deeply deplore, has left me with the souvenir of all his vir tues. It is a feeling which I find also warms the breast of the King my uncle, and of my august aunt. I should then be a stranger to ray own family if I did not participate in it. Whom can I ask better than you, dear Sir, to impart my feelings to our faithful friends ? Assure them, .assure every Frenchman, that if it should please God to restore me to my country. I shall know in what way to prove to them that my only ambition is to render them as dear as those Princes of my race whose memory they preserve with so much love and pride, happy in being strengthened in this desire by the virtues which present themselves to my eyes, and by the noble example set me by the King my uncle. " Goritz, Nov. 15, 1836, " HENRI" NAPOLEON'S CHARACTEit.—Napolcon's habits held out a powerful attraction for the mind of a poet, Re mote, stern, and solitary, lie suffered nothing of his gran deur to be diminished by the common-place intercourse of mankind. Hidden from public view in a circle of states men and soldiers of high fame, be was almost wholly invisible to the popular eye, except on some great and chosen occa sion, when he emerged from this living cloud, prepared to dazzle and perplex all minor curiosity by his full splendours. His private life was shrouded in mystery, His public life consisted of those overwhelming bursts and profound ob scurations which heightened each other's effect, and lie bewildered the general mind. One great purpose of his conduct was evidently to make the feeling universal that he was not a man like other men—that he was gifted with other and loftier faculties and made to accomplish bolder and more extended designs—that he was less a statesman than a governing mind—less a general than a genius of war. less a man than a destiny. His idea of a Napoleon " star," even if it originated in charlatanism, rosy have grown upon such a mind, and shaped such a destiny. Thor° is no sti mulant of human powers so vivid as the belief that some high achievement is yet to be wrought by those powers. The mind which thinks itself made only to creep on the ground, will never start upon its feet. All men of capacious intellects instinctively love to think that those intellects are given for more than the common career of life. They de light to believe themselves urged on by some resistless hand to the labours and triumphs of greatness ; to rank them selves, in some sense, with those high agencies which, invi sible in their nature, palpably mould and urge the course of human things ; to have some associate nature and kindred impulse with those resistless beings who " ride on the whirl wind and direct the storm." Napoleon's mind was less European than Oriental. His singular subtlety, his re morseless vindictiveness, his disregard of human life, were as Oriental as his passion for pomp, his haughty abstraction, and his rage of absolute power. He always had the va=st ness of Oriental conquest before his eye. '['he triumphs of European war were trivial to him ; his genius of battles was a colossus, with one foot on Europe and one on Asia ; Ta merlane and Genghis Khan, sweeping half the world with their tempest of cavalry, were his models ; and, at the first moment in which he found himself at the head..of an inde pendent army, in the invasion of Egypt, lie sketched a plan of conquest, stretching from Africa over Asia Minor on the one hand, and Hindostan on the other ; his banner was to concentrate the horsemen of the South and the North ; and then, with his trumpet sounding at once to the Nubian and the Tartar chivalry, he was to march his unnumbered co lumns on Europe, and unite Paris with Calcutta and Pekin. —Foreign Quarterly Review. A DEAR LOBSTER.—The late Duke of Norfolk was fond of the luxuries of the table, and, although appa rently as joyous and blithesome as any one, he could be as morose and ill-tempered as any person breathing. Those who knew him could pretty well anticipate when a breeze was likely to spring up, as an ebullition of temper was al ways preceded by a convulsive heaving of his ponderous shoulders, as exemplified by the following trait :—A select party, about twelve in number, had assembled in St. James'-square, and were partaking of a sumptuous dinner, when on a sudden the Earl-Marshal's shoulders began to undulate, and the following_ short colioquy between a then favoured servant and his Grace took place. " I do not see a lobster on the table, Dobson. " No, your Grace." " I think I ordered one, Sir " roared the Duke. " Yes, replied Dobson, " you did; your Grace, and I bid as far as 41. 16s. for one ; but there being but one in the market, I could not get it ; the same lobster being divided between the Lords Anglcsea and Sefton, who were resolved to have it !"—Jockey of Norfolk said no more. Yesterday morning the workmen engaged on the line of works of the London and Birmingham rail-road near Primrose-hill, Hampstead, completed the tunnel, which, about two years since, was commenced near Chalk Farm Tavern, Camden-Town. The tunnel extends a distance of 1,500 yards. The following is a correct statement of the dimensions :—Height from the basement to the crown of the arch 25 feet ; width from side-wall to side-wall 24 feet. The interior of the tunnel will be thickly lighted with gas. THE WEATHER .-No sooner do there occur a few hours' intimation of finer weather, than the rain returns with fresh violence. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights it rained in torrents. It is now full five months since there may be said to have been an uninterrupted continuance of one week's dry weather. The rapid improvement in the trade of Glasgow is evinced by the progressive increase of the Customs' revenue, which for the year just ended, amounts to 390,0001., while the previous year produced 315,000/., and the one preced ing 270,0001.--Glasgow Paper.

RUINS OF POMPEII.—The Hesse Cassel Gazette has published several interesting details relative to the exca vations which are still being carried on with success at Pompeii. These particulars are from the pen of Professor Lahn, who is making a scientific journey in the kingdom of Naples. After confirming the account which has been al ready given of the discovery of 64 silver vases, and other articles, he says, that in the " Strada della Fortuna," about five feet below the pavement, ho had found three skeletons, probably that of a man, his wife, and daughter, who had thrown themselves from the upper windows of the house when the lower passages bad been closed by the lava. Near the skeleton of the girl was found a p air of ear-rings orna mented with pearls, and beautifully ca rved. In a house in the " Strada di Mercurio," opposite that in which the pieces of plate were found, two paintings had been discovered in a good state of preservation, one representing the fate and dress of an hermaphrodite, the other Venus and Adonis ; the figures in the last are about 36 inches in length. Adonis is wounded, and the companions of the goddess are engaged in washing and dressing his wouuds. This Veture, of which M. Latin speaks highly, appears to be from the same school, if not from the same master, as those of Hercules and Te lephon, which were discovered at Herculaneum. The ex cavations in this latter city arc also proceeding with very sa tisfactory.results. The Professor announces, that he has had permission-Ao take models of a number of figures in bronze, of candelabra, vases, and utensils of all sorts, which will throw a new light on the manner in which the ancients fur nished and ornamented the interior of their houses. SUlClDE.—Between the hours of one and two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon much alarm and conster nation was caused in the Kennington-road by the following desperate attempt at self-destruction being made by Mr. Thomas Skirrett, residing opposite to the Orphan Asylum there. It appears that the unfortunate man was seen by some of the neighbours to rush out of his own house flou rishing a razor, and after proceeding about half way across the road, he deliberately pulled down his cravat with hi s left hand, so as to bare his throat, while with his right he in flicted a severe and frightful wound, extending nearly from ear to ear, ari completely dividing the flesh to the wind pipe ; the blood gushed out in streams down his person, and in a few seconds he staggered, and fell backwards to the ground, having fainted from loss of blood. He was directly carrhal to the nearest surgery, where the wound was dewed up ; but on his being restored to a state of con sciousness he made violent efforts to tear it open again, and expressed his regret that he had not accomplished his in tention. From the state be was in, it was deemed ne cessary to remove him to the New Westminster Hospital, where he was placed under necessary restraint, and although he survived until Thursday afternoon, no hope can be en tertained of his ultimate recovery. He is between 40 and 45 years of age, and within the last few years carried on an extensive business as a florist, and was living . in a styl e of great respectability. Latterly be had experienced a sad reverse of fortune, which preyed heavily upon his mind, and in a paroxysm of despair lie made the rash attempt upon his life. He is a married man, but has no family. The Nticlrel of Geneva of the: 20th inst., gives the following The number of passports vise at Geneva from the Ist December, 1835, to the :30th November, 1836, amounted to 20,023, being 42 more than in the former year ; the increase would have been still greater, but for the temporary interruption to the communications with France.
