DELUGE AT MESSINA. The following extract of a private letter gives a few particulars of the late dreadful inandatipa at Messina :--- " MESsurn, Noy. 15.—A deluge of ruin, dur- ing the greater part of last night, has destroyed a great number of the small houses in these suburbs, carrying them and their wretched inhabitants along with it many of them into the sea. To what ex. tent the melancholy effects have reached is not )et ascertained ; but a church not many yards distant from my house already coatains 23 dettd bodies —men, women, and children. The sea is covered with wrecks of buildings, and this dead bodies of the victims who have there found a temporary grave, will soon be floating on the waters, to increase the horrors of the scene. So dreadful a visitation is not remembered by the oldest inhabitants to have taken place here be fore. The greater part of the calamity is owing to the high lands, at the back of the town, having been reduced to cultivation instead of being plant ed as the laws direct, with an annual increase of large trees. The rubbish and loose mould mixing with the waters, became irresistible, and swept away every thing in their progress to the We are all well, anti our house, though near the site of danger, is not exposed to its effects," sea. We are inf o rmed that the Pitt Club of Scot land, at a Aleeting held here yesterday, voted two hund re d guineas from their funds towards the erection of the Monument proposed to he raised to the memory of their late highly rt. spected President the Earl of IfoecTeuN. vidual subscriptions were also made at the same 17 various Members of the Club.---(Edirtburgh ""rant , Dec.2o.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Drc. 22. TURNER V. }IONE. This was an appliCation to dissolve a writ of nc ezeat tegyo which had been granted under improper circumstances.' Mr. Banxiat stated that the defendant was a member of the profession, who had been honoured with the appointment of Grand Master of the Judicial inatitutions in Van Diemen's Land. He was alsO Executor to the Estate a one TyS% 'tinder which the plaintiff was Legate% and the writ had been obtained without any distinct hearing of the merits, in order to restrain the defendant from departing the kingdom until he should render an account of his executory trust. On serving'the writ. Mr. Hone paid the messenger the only balance in his hands, of about 1331.--the property under the will never having been altered from the state and condition in which it stood tit the death of. the 4eceased. In moving for the discharge of the writ, he Was chiefly anxious to have the character of his ellenkreatooks front the suspicion to which this process unjustly sUbjetted him, which was the more necessary - in consideration of the dignified situation to which he had been appointed. The Loup CITANCELLOR, in dismissing the writ, granted the costs, and joined in the admissions made by . the Counsel on all sides, that there was not the l east sus pi c i on or i m p utat i on Which could attach to the defendant as to his professional merits and integrity. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 22. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. ANT) CHELSEA crini,ratt. IN TUE MATTER. OF ABBOT, A BANKRUPT. Mr. SUGHEN stated that there were two petitions filed in ilia cause—one on the. part of Sir C. Long, the treasurer at' :helsea Hospital ; and the other on the part of the treasurer of Greenwich Hospital. For the present he would confine himself to the petition of Sir Charles Long, the object of which was to Obtain a decision at the Court that the . peti tioner or his deputy might be allowed to vote for the choice of assignees under Abbot's commission at' bankruptcy. The peti tion stated, that by the 54th of the late King, it was enacted that all property contained in ships, fortresses, &c., that might be taken by Ins Majesty's naval and land forces conjointly, should be divided amongst the individuals engaged in the cap. tion according to the regulations decided upon by his Majesty in Privy Council.: The same Act also declared, that the pro. perty captured in the manner before mentioned should be trans. nutted to an agent in England,, who was bound to proceed to toile thereof within a month after its receipt ; and within a month after the side he was bound to give public notification in the Gazette, of the names of the persons entitled to share in the prize money, and the amount which each person so entitled had to re. ceive. The Act further provided, that the shares of indivi. duals who might desert from his Majesty's service, as well as those shares which were unclaimed within four months after the notification of the sale had appeared in the Gazelle, should be vested in the treasury ot' Greenwich Hospital, the former abso. lutely for ever for the benefit of the institution, but the latter in trust for the original claimants for 0 years, that is to Say, that if the persons to whom the prize-inoney,was due establishal their claim to it at the office of the Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital within 6 years after the sale of the property, it would b e delivered to them ; but if they did not, it Would then for ever belong to the hospital. In 1909, the island of Saintes was taken by the united forces under the command of Sir Alexander Cochrane and Sir . Thomas Maitland. The property captured wa s tram mitted to Henry Abbot, the agent, whit had been appointed by the forces. Abbot never took any steps to effeet the dia. tribution of the money, by issuing a notification of the sale, until 1819, when a commission of bankruptcy was declared against him, and assignees were appointed. A Gentleman appointed by Sir Charles Long as hi, depitty, proved a debt of 2,6984 tls. yid. against the bankrupt, being the value of the prize-property received by him under the cireumstaoces before mentioned. In consequence of some disagreement occurring between the assignees of the bankrupt, an •applieation was made to the Court of , Chancery for their removal, which was granted. When Sir Charles Long's deputy attempted to vote at the election of the new assignees, the Commission at first demurred, to his right to do so, and finally decided against it. —The creditors of the bankrupt had petitioned the Court that the proolof the debt established by Sir C. Long might be alto. Esther discharged, on the ground that he had no interest what ever in the property. The present application on the part of Sir C. Long was grounded on section 2.1 of the Act above-Men. dotted, which provides that the Trotsorer of Chelsea Hospital shall possess as ample power to enforce, the agent to exhibit his accounts and make a distribution •of the prize -money, as any of the persons to whom the prize.money might be due. Un der this section it appeared evident, , the Learned Counsel con. waded, that the right of the tveasuree of the Hospital to vote for the choice of assignees war clearly established; fur the effect of the clause was to put the Treasurer in the same situation as every individual entitled to a share of the prize -money ; and surely every such person would have 8, right to prove his debt, and to vote for assignees. The Learned Counsel was proceed. ing with his arguinent when The Vfcg-Cit A Net: on said, that he would wish to hear the Counsel on the other side, because at present he did not see how to apply his mind to the .case. Mr. HEALD, who was instructed toenpose die petition, eoitend ed that it would be extremely dangerous to grant the treasurer of the Inmpital the power of voting for the A,signees, because the hospital had an interest opposed to the toilet creditors, and 'had actually histituted an action, the object ofwhiA was to take away a large portion of the Bankrupt's estate, which would otherwise be divided equally amongst all the creditors. Besides ' it was a ge. neral role that a proof of debt could only be received tiy the prin. eipal. It was true that there were some exceptions to that rule, as in the case of lunacy or a person residing abroad, when the agent was allowed to prove. Rut when the proof of d e bt c o u ldb e obtained from the principal, there was no precedent of I ts being ad mitted from the agent, and for livery satisfactory, reason—nato e ly, that though an agent mightbc aware of the contraction ofa debt, it wasnot probable that he could know to acertainty whetherany con sideration had been given for it.' It Might also to bo observed, that in the case before the Court the Treasurer of Chelsea Hospital proved a debt to the amount of the whole cf the prize-money due to the forces under the command of Sir A. Cochrane and Sir Thomas Maitland. Now there were 0,000 men entitled to a share in that money, which amounted only to 2,0984 It was probable, therefore, that there were many of the claims Which, separately, did not amount to 101., mot which, taken, intilVidu. ally, could not be proved under the commission. According to the Act of Parliament, which had been cited by the Learned Counsel on the other side, it was evident that the Hospital 1 ,6, (Nitta no interest in the property until four months after the notificatioit of sale, and diatribution had appeared in the Ga. :teat. In the case before the Cottrt, no such notification had taken place The ViCE-CIiANCELLOrt observed, that it was necessary to consider the object of the Act of Parliament which had been referred to.. The laejslature, contemplating that many of the persons entitled to prize-money might he prevented from asserting their claims by death, to which they were liable front the service in which they were employed, had judiciously , intended to provide that the sums thus unclaimed, inste a d of i remaining n the pockets of army or navy agents, should accrue to Institutiona which were founded for the general bent:. fit of both services. The Act provided that the agent ap pointed should possess himself of the subject of any capture made by the troops by whom he was appointed ; and that within a month after having so possessed I:inself of the pro. perty, ice shoold proceed to a sale thereof. Within a month after the sale he wax bound to notify in the Gralettei and other public Papers, not only the names of' the individuals who were entitled to Share in the produce of the sale, but also the amount of ears individual's claim. If the sums to which the persons named in the agent's notification were nut claimed by the persons to whom they were due within four months after the publication of . the notification, the were to be paid to the treasurer of Chelsea Hospital, not for the immediate benefit of that insitution, but that the persons' who were entitled to the money, and who, from the nature of the services in which were employed, in:ght IA absent from the country at the time of the notification by the agent took place, and uninformed of that circumstance for two or three years, might have the security of that institution in their favotu'. If the trust monies thus Vested in the Hospital were not claimed until within six yeari, the Legislature, contemplating that the parties to whom they were due must have died, decreed that they should be applied to the benefit of tine Hospital. The first thing that occurred to him upon looking at the_act was, that no parsons to whom the agent had notified money to be due, were ~rh., , PRICE SEVENPENCZ, - -eeee entitleitto claim the money after the expiration of four months from tire thee of such notification. If that were the right construe fion of the Act, did not reason require- that throe,' persons in whom the claitn upon the property wasthen vested, should ha, e elleb e powers and rem( dies for the recovery of the property which; beftee , the expiratitin of the four monche, were posee s e e e by the persons who were originally entitled to it ? The !attire - wouhl,-beve failed in its ebject, Wit had not given those .rights.and remedies to the Treasurer of the 11 ospital, . It tvau nece a ire that the words (tithe Aet in the timq extenrive set , e which the nature of the eubject required, otherwise great in_ justice would he done male captors. fie would, however, elate the diffi, rulty witich oveurred to his mind in eoneidering the use. * -The act of Parliament enacted, that the claim to the prize.quiney ehould not be %Fated in the Ilospital until four months lifter the notification of the dietribution by the veer. Hut if, as iii the present clue, no notificetion ever took plc-:, were the captors to stiffer for that which they could not pre vent ? Ile doubted whether, as no netifitiation had taleen p,1847,, the chain to the prizeeutoney were not still vested in the captors, and if that were the cast:, how could the claim.of the petitioner be sustained 111 r.

'rhe Vrce-CiteweEreeoe, after halving perused die Act 4)1" Parliament, said, that after due deliberation, he'was of opin hie that the cage which he had lately assumed and pointed out eo the attention of the bar could not he borne out by the feir construction of the Act of the Legislature. lie had before ob terved,•thet it appeared reasonable to him that when the right of claim cermed in the captors, those in whom it was veetel should be .clothed with all the powers which would have been possessed by the capon's, euppoeing the right of claim to have remained with theme But the object of to Legislature might have been much more ex teneive- The right of claim, as captors, was vested in persons who, from the mature of the service which they were called upon to perform, were not likely to be in the kingdom at all times to enforce their dente/ids ; and the Le gislature might have had it in contemplation to clothe the tree surer of the Hospital at ell times with the Same powers which were possessed by the raptors themselves. lit order to discover the intention of the Legislature, it was necessary to examine *irefully the 26th clause of the Act which had been referred to. It' it should appear that it gave to the Tretteurer of the Iloepital all the powers enjoyed by the captors at any time, it must be inferred that it was the intention of ti n t Legisleture to constitute that officer a general Trustee for the eapeire. The cleuse, was to the following effect :—" lie it enacted, that all the powers and remedies Yoked by this Act, or by the existing laWs, in any captor or captors, for compelling :In agent to exhibit hi e ac. counts, or to proceed to a distribution of the money in his pos session, shall be enjoyed by the treasurer of Chelsea for the time being, as fatly and amply as by any captor or cap tors." In his opinion, that clause intended to vest the powers therein described in the treasurer of the llesPital as well before as after the expiration of the •1 months subset] een t to the notifica tion of (Monet don by theagent. The Court wan bound to give such a construction . to the Act as would advance the interests of the captors. lie was of' opinion, that it was the intention or th e Legislature to enable the 'treasurer of Chelsea lloepital at all times, when the interests of the, captors required, to 111t0 for them all the powers and remedies which they themselves were capable of' using to enfoilv their claims ; lie was therefore of opinion, that the treasurer was entitled to prove the debt o f the captors, and to vot e is o t h e c h o i ce of assignees under the commission Of bankruptcy isieted ageinst the defendant. lie dismiesed the petition, which preyed filet the proof of the cep_ tors` debt, as established by th e plaintiff; , might be removed with costs. EARL OF STAIR V. 3611411.A . V. Mr. HART applied in this cue loran injunction to stay pro. ceedings at law upon two bills for 1,0001. each. Thole bills were draws} by the Earl of Stair, payable to Col. Morlion. A bill had formerly been filed on this subject, and an injunction obtained, which, however,. was subsequently di ss ol ve d, Th e facts of the case are few,—The Earl or Stair was so tintbrtu nate as to etigagc . at play while in Paris wi t h Si r Alexander Dodd, Colonel Morgan, and u French Marquis. li e w a s un. suceessful, and the trifling loss 03,000 guineas was the aise. (ponce of his evening's recreation. lie paul six hundred pounds, and gave his bills for the remainder. Ile paid the two thousand pounds to Colonel Morgan, to meet the bills held by the Marquis ; and lest tiny accident should occur as to the re payment, he gave the Colonel, by an unusual confidence, two bills for the Sallie sum. The money th u s trans f erre d to cover the amount of the bills had not been applied .to that purpose ;, an action had been brought, and the amount recovered from the Noble Earl. It appear,d that, the Money h ai l h e m tr a n s f erre d to the hands of the premig dersqlchillt, withwhom the Colonel had certain money dealings. ohject of the Present app li. cation was to stay proceedings upon die second hills, until the nature of the transactions between Colonel Moron (since dead) anti :donnas was fully explained. The motion rested ahoge thee upon the allegation that PP value had passed from Murray to Colonel Morgan. The VICEXIIANCELIAR Said that he could not grant the injunction upon such loose allegations, If the Earl of Stair thought that any relief could arse from admini ster i ng to Co lonel Morgan, he had his remedy in that way ; but though the Court always felt disposed to relieve suitor plaeed in- the tuition in which the Earl of Stair stood—wh e r e mon e y f ee t been lost under such circumstances; yet they could not; with the justice extolled by the poet, obtain " a great right bydoing a little wrong," even in a oatrt or Equity.

Thil was an fiction by the ownera of the ship Sea ArOnph, against one of the underwriters to the policy effected nn that vessel, to recover a loss. of 75 per: cent, on the amours or hie subscription. The other underwriters hod paid their quotas without objection, but the dofercizint insisted that he ought may to pay Itl per cent. as an average lots for the destruction of the cable and anchor. He therefore -resisted the ,action and paid that sum into Court. On the part of the plaintiff, Mr. Jacobs, a Lieutenant in his Majesty's navy, who was supercargo on board thii vessel, was called. Ile stated that eite received so much damage by stress of weather, off Prince's Island, on the coast of A face, that she could not proceed on her voyage to England without enbtooms tial repair. In his judgment there wer e not the means at at Prince's Island o f repairing the Veseel, even sufficiently to enable the Captain to take Iter in safety to Sierra Leone wh ere , poseibly, new notsts and sails might have be en supplied. The bid!) and stores were. aceordingly sold, and the owuers claitee;d, atel, except in this instance, received as for total lose, deducting, 2.5 per cent. salvage. On the part of the defendant, the examination.of Mr. Laing; who surveyed the vetsel, wait read, stating hie decided opinion that the slop might have been eefely carried to Sierrit leeme, and there put into good repair for the homeward voyage, ('apt. A rideesen. was also called, win) said lie saw the ship after the injury in the Canuitoon river, 2.00 miles from Prince's with new toasts of green wood, and a cargo of sieves. The Loun Li lEts Jvlrrier, directed the Jury, it' thev thought the vessel could have been repaired at Prince's or taken to Sierra Leone, with a reasonable prospetit of laileg repaired there, to find for the defendant ; they thought others wise, for the plaintiff.
