This was a motion to set aside an order of the Vice- Chancellor, refusing to dismiss a n i n f ormat i on an d bill fil e d to ,procure a better administration of eight acres of charity land in the vicinity of the town of Northampton. The re lator in the information and plaintiff in the bill is a day labourer, haying no direct interest in the lands in question ; and the defendants conceiving, therefore, that they had no security for their costs, went before the Attorney-General in the usual manner, and, after an investigation, obtained an order to stay all proceedings in the name of the Crown, until the plaintiff gave a security for costs to the amount of one hundred pounds. The defendants did not consider this sum to be sufficient, and they applied to the Vice- Chancellor for an order to stay proceedings until the plain tiff gave a suffi c i en t secur i t y f or a ll cos ts, or provided a. competent r e l a t or . Hi s H onour , un d er th e impression that there was an information only, made the order ; but on its being subsequently stated that there was a bill also, he refused to dismiss the matter for want of compliance with the order.

A KEY to the SECOND and THIRD PARTS of ELLIS'S EXERCISES. New Edition, I2mo. price 3s. bound. *„,* The value of the Key to Ellis 's Exercises, as giving the original Latin of Cicero, is not to be estimated only by its imme diate and original purpose, to guide the teacher in correcting the tasks of his pupils. To the student, also, who wishes to acquire a command of Cicero nian Latin, more or less by private application, the assistance it offers has been found very effective, and highly profitable. A still greatef benefit may be derived from its pages, if it be con sidered at once as a complete and copious Syntax's Ciceroniana. Teken in that light, and in aid of the very poor and imperfect rules of Syntax which Grammars contain, it should be made the object of constant reference and study ; wherever a prose Latin style is cultivated, on a consistent model, as preparatory to the Universities. In one school of some distinctions, the experiment, we know, has been tried with decided success. London : Baldwin and Cradock ; Longman and Co. ; J. Richard son ; J. G. and F.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From th© Gardener's Gazelle.) Sow Winter and Spring Onions, and to provide against the worst winter, sow also Welsh onions, which, although they never bulb, are useful in sauces, salads, or when 'all other kinds are killed by frost. Sow also Carrots—Radishes for autumn crops—the sal mon or scarlet kind. Brocoli—Plant out for winter and spring supply. Finish planting Savoys. Transplant Celery for the main crop—earth up all that already require it. Sow Lettuce Seed to supply the table in September. Keep all crops clean by hoeing or hand weeding. Transplant Endive. Sow for succession crop. Gather all sorts of herbs, for drying in bunches for win ter use. Gather all sorts of seeds as they perfect themselves, taking care not to let them remain until the pods split, or the seed escape in any other way. Vines must be cleared of useless shoots, continue to exa mine and shift all plants in pots, when the roots are requiring more room. Transplant all seeding Perennials, and other flowers which stand the winter. Preparations may now be made for shifting Aurieulas— clean now pots are decidedly best for the job. Take away all the decayed leaves, and do not keep them too wet for the next few days before shifting. TURTLE AND SHARKS. We walked down to the turtle ponds, two large en c'osures near the sea, which flowed in and out through a breakwater of large stones. A gallows was erected between the two ponds, where the turtle are slaughtered for ship ping by suspending them by the hind flippers and then cut ting their throats. About three hundred turtle, of four or five hundred pounds each, lay on the sand or swam about in the ponds—a sight to set an alderman mad with delight. In the Lot month of January, February, March, and April the females land at night, and, waddling over the sands in the various bays of the island far above high-water mark—for by a pole in the ponds the tide only rises here two feet—they scrape up by alternate scoops of their flippers a hole deep enough to cover their bodies. Into this they get, sighing heavily, and deposit from one hundred and fifty to two hundred eggs, cover them up, leave them to the sun to hatch, and then waddle again towards the sea. Two stout hands are meanwhile on the look-out, watching the movements of the unfortunate turtle, and, running up to her after the completion of the task, one seizes a fore-flipper, and dexterously shoves it under her belly to serve as a pur chase, whilst the other avoiding a stroke which might lame him, cants the turtle over on her bark, where she lies help less. From 15 to 30 are-thus turned in a night, and six hundred bad been so captured in the season of 1834. In the bays where the surf, or heavy rollers, prevent the boats being beached to take on board the turtle when caught, they are hauled out to them by ropes. No ships' crews were now allowed to turn turtle, which is converted into a Government monopoly, and two pounds ten shillings is the fixed price for each. Strange to say, from the time that the young turtle, the size of a dollar, are observed scuttlin g down to the water they are never seen here again until they arc four or five hundred pounds weight ; and how long they take • to attain this great size, and where they spend the intermediate time, is as yet a mystery. But why are no measures adopted to secure males as well as females for the table ? A female in a snare in each of the bays might effect this object. If six hundred or a thousand females are turned every year the race may become extinct, for young turtles have plenty of enemies in voracious birds and fishes. Sharks also contrive to get hold of the old ones. Thus an enormous shark, 14 feet long, was caught from the taffrail of the Thalia in Cla rence Bay, in which was found the head of a largo turtle, and the feathers of a sea-fowl. With regard to these last, St. Pierre writes, " Sailors have a proverb, • the shark flies from the feather,' for when a dead fowl is thrown into the sea the shark, which devours wood and iron, on hearing the noise comes to the spot, but on discovering it to be a fowl, immediately retires without devouring it. This is wisely or dered by Providence, that sea-fowl, which resort, like the shark, to the shallows to gain a livelihood and cleanse them selves from impurities, may not be destroyed." I believe that the only living things sharks spare are pilot-fish, which lalways keep out of the way of the monster's teeth.-- Captain Alexander's Narrative 91 Western Africa. On Friday morning, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, a fine dog, of the mixed or hound breed, was discovered in a rabid state, in the neighbourhood of Ber mondsey-wall, by a person residing near the paper mills. An alarm was instantly given, which brought, besides the neigh bours, all the workmen out of the mill, whereupon one man, named Brooks, being more courageous than the rest, ap proached very close to the animal, and by a lucky hit, first throw, brought it down ; he immediately destroyed it on the spot, with a piece of wood which he had in his hand. We understand the animal is the property of a gentleman resid ing in the Lower Deptford-road. It is much feared several other dogs are bitten by it. A young woman, who works at . the paper-mills, was proceeding along the ground to her work, when the dog was observed to be making across the ground to her ; she was immediately warned of her danger, and providentially just escaped by runnin,g in at the upper gates, which fortunately happened to be open at the time, and immediately closed them upon the dog. Proprietors of dogs, during this extrem e h o t wea th er , cannot b e too care f u l o f th em , either in keeping them securely fastened at home, or properly muzzled about the metropolis. Yesterday evening as a gentleman mounted on a beautiful bay horse, was proceeding along the Edgeware-road, he was driven against by a man in a chaise cart, who passed him s o c l ose l y as to come in contact with his leg, by which he was nearly knocked off his horse. Highly exasperated at the conduct of the man, who had plenty of room to pass without nearing him so closely, he rode after the cart and demanded to know the reason of such scandalous conduct. The fellow made use of an opprobious expression, when the gentleman instantly struck him several times with his riding stick, upon which he Jumped out of the chaise, and rushing on the gentleman seized him by the leg and attempted to unhorse him. The gentleman dropp e d his stick, and, aiming a blow at the man, knocked him down with such force that he lay for some time insensible. On recovering, he showed no symptoms of renewing the en- Counter, but after a volley of low abuse, jumped into his cart and drove off. OUTRAGE.—In our last we gave the particulars of an assault committed on a cotton-spinner, named John Smith, on the evening of Saturday last. We now regret to add that the unfortunate man died on Tuesday morning. The body has since been inspected by Drs. Pagan and Auchincloss. Two wounds were observed, one between the fourth and fifth dorsal vertebrae, and the other through the right arm. In the former situation the spine was fractured, which occasioned loss both of motion and sensation in all the parts below the seat of in jury.

The Middlesex Magistrates and several of the Surrey Justices had a grand dinner on Wednesday, at the Star and Garter Tavern, Richmond. s tkii . _A* t, and coneeivdit to be weakly constructed, and donee- , , quently inefficient. Reference was here made to Mr. Green, who stated•that n og , ;s4. the weight of the parachute excecdei 400 lbs. witieut the, . , : wicker basket. et •• ssas n W. Carpenter, the tackle man of Vauxhall, helped to make the parachute by the crrectioe of Mr. Cocking- He did not know at whose expense the easachute was made. The value of the cordage was considerable, but he could not say exactly. The kind of cordage was pe culiar, and v ar i e d accor di n g to quality. The lines , might have cost 101. or 1.51. He had orders from the proprie tors_ of Vauxhall that they should be of the best manu facture—that no expense should be spared. He had cut the line in question, and attached it to the trigger and the parachute. He thought it capable of s ustaining a much greater weight than it had to hear. Mr. Cocking himself gave all the orders, and professel his, sat'sfactain to . eim (witness) for his having done all that wae nee-ea:ore. At the bottom of the basket was an air cushion, to keep him from sustaining too great a shock ; it was about lao inches in diameter, and ten deep ; this cushion toms made of bladder partially inflated, and placed in a linen bag. 'flie object of only partially inflating the bladders was, that they might be the more elastic, they would have Lurst had they been filled. A bag of ballast, about eight or nine - hundred weight had been prepared, but from the calmness of the day it was dispensed with, not being deemed necessary. - Mr. Cocking had nothing with him to eat to his know ledge. He saw the parachute on its descant, and found that the three parts which had given way in the garden, and been mended previously to the ascent, had not giyen eay i n th e d escent . Th e b a ll ast tu b e o f t h e b a ll oon h a d given way at the tim of ascent, and part of it had lodged on the parachute. This he supposed was what had been seen flying out of the parachute at Kennington Comaioe. Professor G. B. Airey, the Astronomer Royal of Grcea wicla saw the balloon shortly after its starting ; it was then travelling with the wind from the west. It next was caught by a northerly current,. and then by a north-west one. It shortly afterwards altered its course. The para chute he saw, and was struck with its appearance. Ile saw it through a common telescope of a twelve times magnifying power. He was sitting with some ladies of his family at the drawing-room window, looking at the balloon. Suddenly he heard a loud shout of persons in the Park, and he knew that the parachute had got away. It ,had been stated that the parachute kept its shape for forty or fifty seconds, but he was quite sure that it did not retain its shape for more than tour or five seconds, for he put his eye instantly to the glass and found it in a collapsed shape. He was convinced there had been no turning over. Had it been turned over the basket would have been displaced. He observed the sides of the parachute flapping •and flickering backwards and forwards.—(Here Mr. Airey illustrated very clearly the flapping and appearance of the collapsed parachute by his umbrella swinging three fourths closed.) He at last lost sight of it behind some- trees, when it bad apparently completed three-fourths of its de scent, and exclaimed at once, " The man must be dead !" His opinion as to the principle of the construction was that it was very imperfect in one respect, being liable not only to suffer from accidental disturbances, and nut containing in itself any restorative power to counteract the evil. One of these unavoidable disturbances was the tendiescy of the air to force it in at the sides, which pressure would, in case of • its getting out of shape, only aggravate the evil, and so the instrument must fail. This must, therefore, be considered as at. construction totally erroneous, and he should have thought that a person with common sagacity might have been aware of this. With regard also to the tin tube of which the circular ring was formed, it was hollow through out and without stops, which would have strengthened it ; and, consequently, as bad a thing as could have been used to distend the parachute. Had stops been introduced it would have saved it from a great deal of the tremor to which the pressure of the atmosphere exposed it. Stops were very judiciously used in the improved tubing for astronomical instruments ; to prevent the tremor which would otherwise occur in such slight work, but though such a construction served very well for astronomical purposes (where lightness rather than strength was wanted), and which, in feet, suf fered less from vibrations than if executed of solid mate rials—it was quite inapplicable to the purposes of a para chute, to which the tremour signified nothing, while strength was of the greatest consequence. That •essential quality appeared to have been altogether overlooked in the con struction of Mr. Cocking's parachute. Had the outer rim been made of whalebone, for instance, the impressions or dents which it might have received in its rush through the air would have been of no consequence. He considered the old (umbrella) shape far superior in this respect, as it . possessed the power of recovering front external shocks, and reforming itself by the inevitable and constant pres sure of the air on its interior and concave surface. Had the weight of Mr. Cocking's parachute been a little greater in the top it would probably have come down sideways, and turned upside down. It was very inferior in many respects to parachutes of the old construction. A juror said it had been considered that if it resisted the force of the atmosphere in ascending, it would be perfectly safe to come down with it. He wished to know what was the Professor's opinion on this point ? Professor Airey said his opinion was quite the reverse. During the ascent, the air, by pressing upon the canvass above, would keep the ring of . tin-tubing, to which lie had alluded, expanded ; but the force of the air during the descent outside, would have the effect of bending it, and thus cause the parachute to collapse. Mr. Green agreed in Professor Air-y's views of its de fects, and stateSthat, if he were obliged to descend in a parachute, he would prefer the old form, Garnerin's. He had told Mr. Cocking that the tin ring had been broken ; but Mr. Cocking replied, " Yes, but now it is mended, and stronger there than any where else." Mr. The nag Steele, of the county Clare, civil engineer, and a member of the London Institution, was present in the Vauxhall Gardens when a conversation arose about the detaching of the parachute. Mr. Green was asked whe ther he should detach the cord ? and he said no, he would not take the responsibility, Mr. Cocking must de tach it himself. He (Mr. Steele) said he should have been delighted to go up, but he should be sorry to come down in it. He expiessed his apprehensions to Mr. Gye, Mr. Green, and other gentlemen. Nothing could exceed the anxiety and solicitude shown by Mr. Gye, which was greatly to his honour. Some persons were speaking of disaster and danger, and lie (Mr. Steele) said that lie thought it was savage cruelty, or desperate im prudence, to talk in that manner now, as he (witness) thought it would be almost better for a person so circum stanced to die than to recede at that moment. He spoke to Mr. Cocking about his intended excursion merely to cheer him under the inevitable and serious venture which he was about to undergo, and that gentleman responded with firmness, even gaiety, yet it was evident that lie was not altogether free of anxiety, and there was an involun tary approach to solemnity in his manner as he replied to his inquiries. He (witness) asked him if he would take a sandwich and a gless of wine, hut he said he had taken a sandwich already, and he would rather not take any wine, as be wished to keep himself particularly cool. If he came, down safe, lie added, laughing, he would take a bottle. Mr. F. Gve resided at Vauxhall Gardens, of which he was the manager. He acted on all occasions for the pro prietors, Messrs. Gyc and Hughes. So far back as Sep tember, 1835, he had received a letter front Mr. Cocking on the subject, and offering his parachute. Mr. Cocking, who lived near the gardens, had several times called und applied, but lie (witness) told hint that, not understanding the merits of his invention, they did not like to undertake Yesterday, at nine O'clock, n.m., the Coroner's inquest brin gi ng forward theexperiment.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing the other side, was of opinion that the Viec-Chancellor, had taken the right view of the case. His Lordship had heard no reason why the withdrawal of one plaintiff was to put an end to the prosecution of the suit of another plaintiff. SIEVEKING V. BEHRENS. This is a bill of interpicader with respect to the disproval of a sum of 8771. the produce of some goods remaining in the hands of Sieveking at the time of the bankruptcy of a firm in Lubeck. Three parties presented their claims in the Lord Mayor's Court, and the plaintiff being garnesbee filed his bill for protection against an action commenced against him by the assignees of the bankrupt. The matter has been frequently of late before the Court. Mr. JACOB now stated that a person named Von Melle, for whom he appeared, had exhibited his claim in the Mayor's Court, and nothing remained to be acceded but the claim of the assignees, which was before his Lordship. Von Melle had, however, according to the practice, gone to an inquisition before a jury with respect to the value of tl:e goods on the bonds of the plaintiff, and that jury had found them on appraisement to be worih 1621. more than hs stated as the produce of the sale. The ohj,-!et of the present ar bitration was to have this sum paid into Court. The Loin CHANCELLOR could not make such an order on the case as it at present stood. There must be a refe rence to the Master to ascertain the value of the goods, making all just allowances to Sieveking. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 28. • LEATHLEY V. REYNOLDS. Mr. KNIGHT moved ex parte fir an injunction to re strain the negotiation of bills of exchange, accepted for a gambling debt. The plaintiff, whose residence was in Bed ford-place, Rusiell-square, but who was now a prisoner in the Queen's Bench, accepted an invitation from a person named Irwin to dine, on the 10th of May last, with a party at Fricour's, in St. Martin's lane. He went, and was there introduced to three persons, named Samuel Bamford Hamer, Edward Reynolds, and George William Reynolds, who completed the party. During the dinner, and after it, at the solicitation of his . companions, the plaintiff drank a large quantity of wine. Cards were then introduced, when he sat down, and played ecarte till early next morning. Ha mer kept the reckoning ; and, at the conclusion, the plain tiff found himself a loser of 5201. 155., for which, haying no money with him, he was obliged to accept the bills in question. Three of these were dated the 17th of May, payable in one, two, and three months, the first for 117/. 15s , and the remaining two fir 1171. 18s. 6d. each. These were drawn by Hamer. Two others were dated the 27th of May, payable at three and six months, for 851. each, and these were drawn by Edward Reynolds. Hamer in dorsed the first of his bills to a person who was at the time a waiter at Fricour's, and was now in fact his own servant ; and at the suit of that person, who was merely a nominal holder, the plaintiff was at this moment a prisoner. Under these circumstances, the bill was filed against all the parties concerned in the transaction, and the injunction was applied for. His HONOUR granted the injunction, restraining the de fendants from parting with the bills. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. SAVAGE laisi OUTRAGE.—Yesterday Tip lathy and Dennis Donovan (brothers), Jo.!eph Crawley, James Car ney, Thomas Fogel:, and Dennis .Iturphy, a precious sam ple of the "finest pisantry in all the world," were brought up in custody of the police, charged with having half-mur dered their countrymen Edward Doyle, for no other earthly reason but because he happened to belong to a different country. The complainant, whose face and head were a mass- of blood and bruises, had recently landed at Liverpool from Ireland, and, like the rest of his countrymen, he set off on foot towards London in search of employment. On arriving near Hendon on the previous evening he met the prisoners on the road, who began to jeer and hoot, telling him to " walk asier." He replied that he had had walking enough, and desired them to mind their own business ; whereupon Timothy Donovan ran up to him and felled him to the ground with a large stick (here produced). This was the signal of a general attack,: and the rest of the party fell upon him, and beat, kicked, and jumped on his body, till life was nearly estinet, and they would have finished him upon the spot had not another Irishman from the same coenty as himself gone up and pulled them away for which he was severely beaten. On hearing the cr y o f " Mur der !" the police came running up, when the prisoners toek to their heels, but were secured after a chece of two miles. Anthony Arles, the Irishman alluded to, bore ample tes timony to the barbarity of the prisoners. Mr. Hosims (to complainant)--Why did the prisoners use you in this manner ? Complainant—l don't know, your Honour. They were all strangers to me. For no other cause, but because 1 came from Connaught and they are Munster men ; there can be no other reason, as I had never spoken to them be fore in my life. The most deadly animosity prevails be tween the two counties, and when the adverse party ►net they fought with the moat determined fury with sticks, stones, or any other weapons they could get hold of. Mr. HOSKINS fined them 50s. each, and, in default, they were committed for six weeks. THE PARACHUTE EXPERIMENT. This d, price dr. eld., a Now Edition of T HE OA]LEIGH SHOOTING CODE.
