SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A more interesting, captivating, and even affecting eight will never perhaps be exhibited in this country than on Thursday next, when our young, beautiful, amiable, and accomplished Queen is to pass through the centre of the metropolis of the world, greeted by millions of loyal, happy, and admiring subjects. If she were " Without more train Accompanied, than with her own complete Perfections," it would be enough, and nothing could he more touch ing in its simplicity ; but the people have been taught to expect to witness the " Pomp that waits On Princes, when their rich retinue, low , Of horses led, and grooms besmcar'd with gold, Dazzles the crowd;" and of this, no doubt, there will be abundance ; but still all eyes will be directed for the time but to one object, and gaze will be exhausted with its own eager ness. When Queen Elizabeth had been forty years on the throne of England, a gallant Court poet in a happy line, which secured him the Royal favour, termed her " The lodestone of all hearts and lodestar of all eyes ;" but that which was flattery in Sir John Davies would be truth in us ; and our a fair young mistress of three kingdoms fair" will pass along the whole line, from St. James's to the heart of the City, the sole point of sight—the one mark at which all eyes will aim, and the single object of interest and admiration. Hope will precede her, affection attend her, and good wishes follow her. If the weather be propitious, as we ear nestly trust it will, we shall almost regret that compa ratively modern refinement and invention have afforded facilities of conveyance unknown to the great prototype of our Queen. Elizabeth paid her visits to her faith ful citizens on horseback ; her Great Chamberlain and Lord Steward led her gorgeously-caparisoned palfrey, her Master of the Horte held her golden stirrup, and the highest nobles of the land were proud to bear her embroidered foot-cloth. Our Queen will necessarily be in a close carriage, but, like the enchanted lady in the crystal cabinet of the fairy tale, she will be visible on every side. All that can be done will be accomplished for the gratification of the natural and not unwelcome curiosity of the public. We would fain hope, nay, we are convinced, that political discord will be allowed to slumber on this memorable occasion. Some of our Contempo raries have drawn a comparison between the state of national feeling now, and at the time when it was pro jected that the late King should banquet with the Lord Mayor. That a striking difference, amounting to ab solute contrast, exists, cannot be disputed ; but we shall not think it necessary to dwell upon what is so obvious, and at a moment so uncongenial. Men of all parties will be present on this great occasion, but all party spirit will be absent, and nothing will be allowed to interfere with the contentment and joy of the festive assembly. Let us even hope, that as all political animosity will be carefully shut out for this one day, and hostile opinions merged and drowned in a swelling and universal tide of love and loyalty, the example may operate beneficially for the future, and the rancour of faction be banished from the temperate deliberations of the councils of the nation. Can any opportunity for such a resolution be more favourable than the present ? We have a young Queen just raised to the throne of this united kingdom of England, Scot land, and Ireland, " The triple pillar of the world l" who is naturally anxious for the welfare and happi ness of her subjects as the immoveable foundation of the monarchy over which she presides. She has ap pointed servants and councillors sworn to the mainte nance of that monarchy and our institutions. They wish to purify those institutions in order that their blessings may be permanent, and that every class of her Majesty's subjects may enjoy the full benefit of their establishment. Time-hallowed (to use the cant of the day) they are, but time-corrupted they are also ; and even the Tories do not, in the abstract, deny that those corruptions ought to be removed, and the institu tions rendered as faultless as possible. What, then, are they contending for ? If they are sincere, they will gladly and efficiently aid those who have only the same object in view, and men of every poli tical shade may thus combine their efforts and ac compligh the excellent and universal purpose. If they are not sincere, they will stand aloof: they will pretend to love Reform, because without that pretence they cannot have a chance of gaining what they love much better; and instead of lending their assistance to promote national ame lioration, they will do their utmost to pro duce among the unthinking distrust of men and de feat of measures, in order that they may avail them selves of the consequent confusion, and slip into those offices from which they were ignominiously ex truded. This, then, is the period for testing the truth of professions. The Queen is a Reformer, be cause she sees that Reform is fit and necessary ; she does not like change for the sake of change only ; and it becomes all the friends of improvement, whether Whig, Radical, or Tory, to use their best endeavours that safe and wholesome Reforms may be quietly and peaceably introduced. We willingly believe that there are even among the Tories some who are in their hearts favourable to Reform ; but they are timid, and they have been taught by designine, misrepresentations to fear that amendment :nay be only another word for abolition ; they see plainly enough the existing evils and defects of our institutions, and they admit that they ought to be remedied. These men should be supporters of the Queen and of the Queen's Mi nisters. The present advisers of the Crown are desir ous of doing nothing hastily —nothing rashly, but something effectually ; and there can be no folly, no fatuity, no absurdity so great as to imagine that they are more disposed to destroy, or even to en danger, the ancient institutions of the country than those who honestly but mistakenly call themselves Conservatives." In the best sense of the word, Ministers are Conservatives : they would be idiots were they otherwise ; and the good sense of this en lightened nation revolts at the assertion that those who are now put in trust and guard over public af fiirs, and the security of whose families and property de ponds upon the secure and successful conduct of those af fairs, are engaged in a deliberate conspiracy to pro duce that very condition which is to overwhelm all in general and undistinguishing ruin. The great body of the people has long seen the silliness, if not the wickedness, of such an imputation, invented and per severed in for the vilest party purposes; and the time, we think, is not very distant when the conscientious but misguided adherents of Toryism in all parts of the kingdom will discover what tools they have too long been in the hands-of a faction, which only seeks its own selfish advancement at the expense of national happiness and tranquillity.—Morning Chronicle. Every day produces fresh illustrations of the state of the public mind throughout this country, and affords matter for pretty safe conjecture as to the course of action between parties, and as to the progressive change in their relations, provided each party understands the real p os i t i on o f i ts adversary, and can be brouel f ic t o eel its own deficiencies and resources. 'lir. Daniel O'Connell, within the last week, has acme two things .worthy of notic e that is to say, lie has added two more tricks to the catalogue of his p er f ormances in ata the li ne of jugglery. Ist. He has pretended to dis solee his notorious rebel associat,iont only, for the whole framework. and pretended machine are still to be kr- ' capabilities of the immediate use when caller up on , tn a state of readiness for upon. Its committtees, its local agenciee throu' e t the provinces, its busy and turbuleat pacificatorsgeveuriwhere are still to exist, and to do the daily wosk local mischief. The sole Change made in, ?eality is that the association now on the eve of the session of Parliament, will suspend its pubis;,.sittings—a sup er fl uous piece of mummer be- Vase the Agitato r k nows extremely well th at e he is detained in London by the necesssity of bullyi ng Ministers, or i n t r i gu i ng w i t h t h em at head- quarters, the it association" in Ireland would become an un- Meaning farce, or a dead letter—it would, in fact, go 0111 of itself. He puts his bands, therefore, into can tonments, and as the spring opens will find some ex cuse for calling them together, the first moment that their re-assembly can be made instrumental to any evil end. In the meanwhile, should the Ministers here run restiff, should the O'Connel dictates be set at nought (of which with this wretched Government our national endeavours to avert our threatened anni hilation ?—Timcs. _ there is little prospect), or should the ample stream of ratronag-e be ever so little impeded, up goes again the cry of " Jus;ice to Ireland"—the watchword of Re peal—and blaze again the signal fires of our obse quious rebel assceiatien. There is, no doubt, another argument which may have had some weight with this Master of the Irish Bloodhounds," in inducing him to disperse his pack at the present moment. It is impossible that lie should not be aware of the awkward embarrassments into which his whip per-in, poor Lord Morpeth, has been driven by the continued operations •of that rebel society under the nose of the Mulgrave Government, and the frequent transfusion of its active Members into the diseased body of the State itself, the same individual figuring one day on the floor of the rebel Parliament as a sworn foe to Great Britain, and the next day being gazetted as a magistrate or some other civil functionary of the Queen of England's Government. This condi tion of things, it must be recollected, has more than once flung the Listonian visage of a certain Viscount into strange contortions ; and it was doubtless resolved, on consultation, that a make-believe disbanding of that amphibious force would release the Treasury from a sev ere incurnbrance, while the " patronage" might still work as before, in the same direction, and in even a more aggravated measure, by the appoint ment, with complete impunity, of men substantially more objectionable than any former nominees of O'Connell—but of whom it could not be said that they were members of a lawless and treasonable body—" for 10, the Association is now dejitnct— no such thing exists in Ireland." Wait, however, but a little ; let us only see another pinch or crisis. Let us only see O'Connell disappointed of any prize which he sets his heart on ; let us see Downing street falter in its vassalage, or curtail by one dollar its amount of weekly tribute, and the pirate crew, now under hatches, start at once on deck, the black flag is hoisted in an instant, and all quarter refused inexorably to the " base, brutal, and bloody Whigs." What, indeed, means the ostentatious " confidence" of Mr. O'Connell " in the liberality of the Melbourne Government ?" Is not Lord Melbourne ashamed to have such " confidence" reposed in him from such a quarter ? Is it not enough to frighten any honest man, for his reputation, that he should be so freely reckoned on by the dishonest as a promoter of their schemes of political destruction ? 'What means O'Connell's " confidence" in an English Minister ? What does it imply ? Plainly this—a co-operation with him, O'Connell, in the putting down of the Protestant Church, in the crushing of British or Saxon Supremacy throughout Ireland, in the spolia tion of all Protestant or Saxon property, eccle siastical and civil, and its transfer to the uncivilized, ignorant, anti-Protestant and cruel Celts. For these things are avowed by the Romish oligarchy in Ireland, and the expression of their reliance on any English Minister is an assumption that he will take upon him self to execute their projects for them. 2. The second performance of Mr. Daniel O'Connell was forced upon him. It was the postponement of a meeting of Irish 'Peers and Members of Parliament which the Agitator had urged upon Lord Cloncurry, a brother of the craft, but to which the latter contrived to send a somewhat discouraging answer. The impolicy of such a ma noeuvre was apparent most likely to the cool and sly old Brummagem Lord, who had no personal object to promote through it, sooner than to O'Connell himself, whose vanity might have been tempted by the so apt an occasion for dictating to a mock Parliament in Dublin the programme of a series of measures, to be afterwards imposed upon the Impe rial House of Commons. But he forgot that it is of the essence of his.own game to leave the kennel-rolled Ministers ostensibly as much as possible their own masters, that he may be able behind the scenes to worry them with the greater vigour and success, esta blishing as the pivot of their system of barter this alternative :—O'Connell (loquitur).—" Either you, Russell, Morpeth, and Co., must do a great deal for the people of Ireland,' in the shape of anti-Pro testant legislation, or a great deal in another shape for me, in my own person, who represent the people of Ireland." Russell and Co. (in answer).—" But, dear friend and patron Daniel, you know that neither the Parliament nor the people of England will suffer us to comply with the first part of your alternative. Our pro-Popery concessions have almost ruined us al ready." Daniel (in reply).—" Oh, as for that, my fine fellows, the alternative you know has a second part to it. So, if not in malt, you can pay me in meal. If you won't give Popery to ',the people of Ireland,' you can give me patronage, which, in the long run will be all the same." Russel and Co.—" Well, if we must, we must; and let our own poor relations wait." Daniel—" Oh, d—n the whole breed of poor relations ! An't I bothered with them myself ? and 'tis little I do for them, any how. But mind the patronage, and it will answer mighty well." Exeunt owl:es, muttering curses at each other. Russell and 'Co.—"' 'What a confounded screw this blackguard is." Daniel.—" A mighty soft set of cheats these Whig foreigners now They think to stop my mouth with their small pa tronage---the fools ! but I'll play them off with their own English money when I once get it into Irishmen's hands, and then I'll have both the patronage and the policy too, in spite of them." Alas ! ale; ! ye un fortunate Whig spendthrifts, what a " mess" have you made of your " no patronage" Administration You have sold an empire and your own moral inheri tance for a base and treacherous bribe from the public enemy. You are not an inch nearer your release from thraldom than you were three years ago. The people of England with one accord invoke ruin upon you as deserters from their camp, traitors to their commonwealth, and apostates from their religion. That a m i g h ty an d merciful Providence. may interpos e , an d save us f rom the perils wherewith our beloved country has been and still continues to be encompassed, is the single hope on which our na tional existence rests. The same blessed power bath already stretched out a mighty hand and accom plished our temporal salvation. There was no Pro testant Englishman who could have yesterday attended the House of God, and heard the outpourings of our gratitude as a people for that gracious d e li verance which our f ore f at h ers experienced just 233 years ago from the most remorseless and diabolical perfidy that it ever entered the human imagination to execute, when bold and bloody fanaticism Sevised..'„ e w h o l esa l e destruction of the three estates of tt'is Protestant realtis, and all for the benefit antj anger the inspirations of Popery—no Christ:4n Englishman, we say, could have participated in that holy rite, and repeated the sacred appeal Co the Almighty for his prolonged protecs tion, without connecting in his own mind the darters which England at the above period escapest ) with tgose which at this moment surround her, and which spring from the ssapmireitdeoafdlyßs'oomur,ee—sthe erasping, dark, and The following Catholic vengeance and p m r a a l ) i-g er ni w ty a; fitted not_ beautiful and affecting is appropriat e .." , or - the c' year 1604 exclusively—it Co all time, and especially touches and idrss Against the actual terrors which now impend prov I'ever the civil Government of this kingdom, and threaten the subversion of that pure Church which the will and mercy of the Supreme Being have vouch safed to our ancestors and to us •_" Be thou still our mighty protector, and scatter our enemies that de light in blood. Infatuate and defeat their counsels, abate their pride, assuage their malice, and confound their devices ; strengthen the hands of our gracious Sovereign (Queen Victoria), and all that are put in auth or it y un d er h er , w i t h j u d gment and justice to cut off all such workers of iniquity as turn religion into rebellion and faith into faction, that they may never prevail against us, or triumph in the ruin (y . the Church among us ; but that our gracious Save reign and her realms, being preserved in the true re ligion, and by thy merciful goodness protected in the same, we may all duly serve thee, and give thee thanks in thy holy congregation." Such is the prayer and thanksgiving in one, which the spiritual pastors of our Church, with the full sanction' of the tem poral authorities of England, directed to be offered up in earnest gratitude for his relief from imminent destruction by the gunpowder treason of 1604, and in humble supplication for the continued care and special interference of the Father of All to stave off every future evil from the same terrible source. Who is there that must not feel the home-pressure of the like peril now, and, buckling on the armour of righteous energy and piety, implore the blessing of Heaven on Of all the libels uttered against the present Mi nistry, that of asserting them to moditate a coalition with the Tories is the most infamous and atrocious, and one which, if true, would be most destructive of public confidence. Fortunately, however, the calumny is one which in its absurdity bears its own refutation. In forming coalitions each patty must have something to give and something to gain ; but in this Ministers would have nothing to gain, aril the Tories would have nothing to give. On the contrary, the bare supposi tion of entertaining such a proposition would as de servedly as irretrievably damn the Ministry in public estimation. No persuasion nor allurements could ever induce the country to sanction a coalition based on such a gross betrayal of principle as would be involved in that referred to. The country has great expectations from the presentGovernment—expectation.s which have restrained popular excitement, under circumstances calculated to provoke the most violent exacerbations of feeling ; and should those expectations not only prove de lusive, but precursory to an unnatural and unholy coalition against popular rights, tremendous would be the retribution exacted by a- betrayed people. Then would the power of the masses be evoked to vindicate Reform against its traitorous opponents—then would the people, repudiating all confidence in public men, take the management of their affairs into their own hands—popular indignation would be boundless, nor is it the antagonistic force of a base coalition which could set limits to its action. We shall revert to this subject ; but while the Ministry are capable of exer cising the faculty of reason, leaving principle totally out of consideration, we can never believe they would become parties to an act which would for ever sink them, with their supposed allies, in the depths of public execration.—Morning Advertiser. We have much regret in announcing that Mr. Gruneison, our intelligent correspondent at the head quarters of Don Carlos, has fallen into the hands of a party of Christinos near the Ebro, and by them been conducted to the town of Logrono, where he is now detained, probably until instructions be received from Madrid. We are unwilling to anticipate that any harm will bcfal this gentleman, but we shall take all the steps necessary to procure his release, and we trust we shall be succesiful. Mr. Gruneison had no other busi ness at the head-quarters of Don Carlos than as cor respondent of this journal. He is in every respect a neutral. Our instructions to him were to describe what he saw with truth and impartiality ; and we can refer to the able letters which have appeared in the Morning Post as a proof of the faithful manner in which he fulfilled our wishes. Inde e d hi s can d our led him to state many things more freely than a less scrupulous correspondent might have done ; but he was determined to do his duty, and the British public have received valuable information at his hands on the state of the civil war. Mr. Gruneison,having accompanied the expeditionary army since its arrival in Catalonia, was desirous of returning home to recruit his strength after much fatigue and many privations. For that purpose he had left the main body in Castille, and he was making his way through the Basque pro vinces to Bayonne, in company with Count de Pina, an Italian Nobleman, when he fell in at Munilla, near the Ebro, with a party of Christinos, who took d s whis e are c i o n m f o p r m a n e i ( o b n t o p r L id s o o o n r e o r n s a , an He c i o s n d i u n c t n e c o l h th im em manner compromised as a belligerent ; his mission as our correspondent was avowed and recognised ; and when it is recollected that it was mainly through his influence that Colonel Lacy and other officers lately captured at Alcala were released, because they were British subject not in arms for the Queen, we hope our Government will take care to ensure him similar good treatment from the Christinos. By the time this is in the hands of our readers we shall have addressed the proper authorities on the subject, and we cannot for a moment suppose that they will allow political, or party feelings, to interfere with their exertions for the protection and release of Mr. Gruneison.—Morn ing Post. TIIE COMIC ANNUAL FOR 1838.—The Pub lishers of the above Work have received the following letter from the Editor, and hasten to lay it before the public : " To Messrs. A. H. Bally' and Co., 83, Cornhill, London. Dear Sirs,—Having seen in the newspapers a stamped ru mour that "Fhe Comic' will appear on the Ist of November, I beg you will take prompt measures to contradict the report. To say nothing of courtesy or modesty, it would be the height of impolicy for The Comic' to offer itself to public notice so near the publication of that ' Splendid Annual,' the Lord Mayor of London t particularly when he is coming out, with extraordinary Embellishments, under the especial Patronage of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. If I were capable of the vanity and indelicacy of leading up to such honours, I know enough of cards to know that a Court-Blase sweeps the Board ; and; truly, my poor Ninth Volume would make a very sorry show indeed near such an effulgent Ninth of November! You will be pleased, there fore, to chain up your circulars, muzzle your paragraphs, hoard your puffs, save your chalk, husband your broadsides, restrain your bill-stickers, postpone your placard-men, and all the other immodesties that modest merit is convened to commit in this age of speaking-trumpets and gongs, till after the gorgeous solemnity. Then,at such interval as may seem safe. my humble piece of work may be brought forward, at Cornhill, with some chance of attracting attention : but, pray do not be rash ; keep my pretty pages' at a secure distance from the heels of the City Marshal's charger. I think I told you that I had picked up some little German whims and and oddities during a halt by the Rhine, and a march with a Prussian regiment. They are in a fair way for getting on box-wood, and into paper and print ; and you may, there fore, add them to my list of irons in the fire.—N. B. or Nota Baily, the fire is not only laid, but lighted ; in witness whereof, I send you some of the sticks, that is to say, the blocks.—l am, dear Sirs, yours very truly, " Passages, Oct. 10, 1837." " THOMAS HOOD. THE BENCH AND THE BAR.—This work is at length published, and will, no doubt, create great interest. It is certain that there is no class of men who could have been selected with So much chancy of inter Wing and enter taining the public At the members of the Bench and the Bar. Authors in general arc not so full of materials for the sketcher for many reasons ; medical professors are less interesting to the public at large, because they arc, hay!. dually, less known ; artists are little c:tlt..'ulat e d for effect as sitters to the painter in pen and ink ; and although actors are better subjeete; it is not, i n th e i r case , all gold that glitters : Tne Judges and the Counsel beat them all hollow in points of interest. The names registered in the fiat of contents of these volumes at Once cont lttild the reader of the extent of the ground Item traversed. The author has picked Up many hints about his various subjects that were worth gathering, and he has struck off the features of their serious characters very cleverly. THE CIRCASSIANS —At a time when these brave mountaineers are making suoli heroic exertions to resist Russian despotism, it is natural that the public should wish to know as much as possible respecting this interesting_ people, and we can assure t h em t h at the recent travels of Captain Spencer, which are at this moment sought for with the greatest avidity, arc eminently calculated to satisfy their curiosity in every respect. The Times and the Quarterly Review have testified to the praiseworthy efforts of the author to interest his countrymen in behalf of the noble-s Arited Circassians. Received by them with enthu siasm, Captain Spencer had opportunitie s of seeing the re sources of their country, and of acquiring such a knowledge of their little-known manners and customs, as had never yet been obtained by any European. CHELSEA COLLEGE AND ITS TRADITIONS, BY TilE REV. G. R. GLEIG, AUTHOR OF " TIIE SUBAL TERN," &C.—lt is with infinite satisfaction we welcome another work by the Rev. G. R. Gleig (whose literary pro ductions have already placed him in the first rank of coeval writers), under the title of " Chelsea College and its Tra ditions." Placed as Mr. Gleig is officially in that admirable establishment, esteemed and respected by all its gallant in mates, himself once their companion in arms, and now, by a strange change of circumstances, their spiritual pastor, deli verirg his eloquent appeals from the chapel pulpit, close to which hangs, as a national trophy, ,the flag he himself cap tured in the field, it cannot be wondered at that while at tending the sick beds of the veteran pensioners, and admi nistering to their wants, they should feel that sympathetic: confidence in their minister which induces a genuine out-- pouring o£ the heart, and a faithful detail of their past . lives and services. It is from these among other sources. that this interesting book is mainly derived. We can most. conscientiously recommend this work as affording a rich_ treat to the reader.—John Bull. A paragraph appeared in several of the papers, stat ing that the magistrates of all the police offices of the metropolis were ordered by the Secretary of State to , be in readiness to attend at the police-office in Guildhall ea the day of her Majesty's visit to the city. This paragraph excited a great deal of surprise amongst the aldermen, ho upon inquiry it was found that the writer bad made a slight mistake. The order issued to the police meF.,strates was, that one magistrate should be in attendant' at each office during the day. E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 18,i7.

GOMPERTZ V. ANSDELL. In this case, which was argued before the vacation, a demurrer had been put in to the plaintiff's bill on the , ground that any bequest to him by the testator, Benjaniin Isaacs, was void through remoteness. The property, which originally amounted to nearly 50,000/,, has been the sub ject of much contest both at, law and equity, in cony!- quence of the son of the testator having concealed the fact of the illegitimacy of the grandson of the testator, who was intended to inherit. The allegation on the rut of ti 0,, Ansdells wits, that the words of the will were too vague to carry the property over to the son of the nephew. The LORD CHANCELLOR now gave judgment, and was clearly of opinion that the I.Kquc'st could not be consi dered void on the ground stated by the defendants. Under the circumstances of the case his Lordship, although he overruled the demurrer, would say nothing as to costs. STOCKS V. DODSLEY. This was a motion made yesterday to refer a report of the Master to be reviewed, although confirmed in the usual manner by the Master of the Rolls. The ground of the applicatio❑ was that the debt of 1,3001. referred to in that report bad already been adjudicated upon by an award. His Lord-hip, after an examination of the affidavits, affirmed the order of the Master of the Rolls with costs. VICE-CHANCELLOR'SCO URT. —Nor. 4. BEALE V. HUME. Mr. JACOB applied to dissolve the injunction obtained in this case by the defendant. The defendant had carried on the business of a chemist and druggist, and vendor of pa tent medicines, in Long-acre for many years, and some time back sold the business to the plaintiff, a surgeon. When the transfer was first made the name over the door was " Late Hume and C 0.," and the same was painted on the shop windows, and stamped on the labels for medicine bottles and boxes, and shop bills. The injunction was ap plied for in order to prevent the plaintiff from using the name of the defendant in any way in connection with it in business ; but the Learned Counsel contended that there was no ground for continuing it, inasmuch as the name was used only to indicate that the business had formerly been carried on by the defendant. Mr. KNIGHT, on the part of tine defendant, contended that the injunction ought not to be dissolved. His HoNouß, in giving judgment, could see no ground for assenting to the motion for dissolving the injunction. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 4. WARMAN V. HINE. Mr. HILL moved for a rule to show cause why the ver dict given for the plaintiff, with W. damages, should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the defendant o❑ one of the issues. This was an action for a libel contained in a letter written by the defendant to the Poor Law Com missioners. There was a plea of not guilty, and also a justification, which, however, did not justify the whole statement, but which took the sting out of it by justifying the most serious part of it.--Rule refused. BAIL COURT. HORSE-RACING.-DAVIS V. WILKINSON. Mr. TIIESSIGER said that this was an action brought to recover 4951. on a promissory note given by the defendant to the plaintiff for money lent. His client was a gentle man of high respectability, and formerly an extensive farmer, and, being a judge of horses, had for years been in the habit of frequenting the race-courses of Newmarket, Epsom, and Ascot. The defendant was an extensive tradesman in the city of London, and also an admirer of the turf, and from that circumstance the plaintiff and defendant became inti mate. In 1831 they met at Tattersall's, and, the defen dant, being short of money, borrowed of the plaintiff the sum of 500/. Having the highest confidence in the honour of the defendant, no acceptance of I 0 U was given for the money, and they met and parted as usual. No notice of the debt was taken until 1833, when they met at Ascot, and the defendant then gave the promissory note for the repayment of this sum, and for which the present action was brought. After hearing evidence at great length, The Jury retired, and, after an absence of one hour and a half, found a verdict for the plaintiff for 400/. The Court was crowded to excess by sporting men, gam ing-house keepers, &c., who appeared to take great in terest in the proceedings. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 4. KEMP V. BOWLES. Mr. RAWLINSON moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should net be set aside and a non suit entered, or a new trial had. This was an action tried by the Under Sheriff of Middlesex, and brought to recover the sum of 191. for the board and lodging of a child, and for goods sold, between January, 1834, and April, 1836. A verdict was found for the plaintiff for 13/. 7s.—Ru'e refused. PREROGATIVE COURT, Nor. 4. WOOD AND OTHERS V. GOODLAKE, HELPS, AND OTHERS This is a suit respecting the validity of a testamentary paper propounded as a codicil to the will of the late James Wood, Esq., the banker, of Gloucester. An application was made to the Court on the last session to extend the term of the Commission, which had been instituted for the examination of witnesses to prove the facts pleaded in an allegation brought forward by the'propounders of the paper, which the Learned Judge granted, extending the term for the closing of the Commission till the third session of this term. The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE and Dr. LUSHINGTON ap peared this day on behalf of the parties named in the will, and prayed the Court to rescind the above-mentioned or der, which they contended had been obtained upon exparte statements. • Sir HERBERT JENNER extended the perioi for the re turn of the Commission till the third session, by which time he should expect that the examination of the witnesses would be concluded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Saturday the well-known Joseph Ady, formerly of the Minories, was charged with defrauding Mr. Benj unin Am bler, of Bdes-pond, a bay salesman in Smithfield Market, of 10s. Mr. Ambler stated that the prisoner came to him in Smithfield, and said if he would give him 10s. he would tell him where he could obtain 3/. 10s. Bd. that belonged to him. He asked him where it was to be received ? The prisoner refused to tell him. He then gave him the 10s., and the prisoner gave him a memorandum that the amount was due to him, and was lying unclaimed as a dividend on a bank rupt's estate. Now, as he should have obtained this money without any information from Mr. Ady, and as he refused to i - :, , !arn the money, complainant gave him into custody for the fraud. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTEit said that it was a device, but the matter being true it was not a fraud. It was like the ease of the man who went to a publican, and, as if he were about to impart a valuable secret, said if he would give him a guinea be would tell him how he might sell more beer. The publican gave him the cash, and the man then told him to fill his pots.—( A laugh.) Ady had paid six shillings to obtain the information, and surely lie was entitled to be paid by those who were to reap the benefit. Alderman WINCHESTER thought be ought candidly to state the plain fact, and leave the reward . to the generosity of the parties. Ady promised to consider that hint, and was discharged. RLB 0 R 0 UGH-STREET. Information having on Saturday been conveyed to the Magistrates that the man who bad been stabbed in Mount Row, on Friday, by Wm. Fisher, was lying in St. George's Hospital in a hopeless state, Mr. Dyer, the sitting Ma gistrate, accompanied by Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, proceeded to the Hospital 63r the purpose of taking the dying man's deposition. On arriving at the Hospital Mr. Dyer ascertained from the surgeon that not the slightest expectation was enter tamed that the man would survive the occurrence, the wound being of a nature to preclude all hope that surgical skill could do more than prolong life to a very limited period. Mr. Dyer accordingly went to the room where the man was lying, and proceeded to make the necessary inquiries. The man appeared to be perfectly aware that his life was nearly at its close. He gave a statement of the cause which had led to consequences so fatal to himself. Owing to the early meeting of Parliament, the London season will commence full three months earlier than it has done for some years. ELOPEMENT.—A young lady, residing with her mother, not one hundred miles from Llandilo, was last week carried away by a young man brought up to the law. The young couple set off about three o'clock in the morn ing in a postchaisc and four. Having arrived at Lampeter they partook of a cup of coffee at the Lion Hotel, and in a few minutes they were again on the road to Aberystwith ; when within two miles of the latter place they alighted from the chaise, and, after paying the driver his fare, he returned. The lovers, as it afterwards appeared, procured some clothes at a farmhouse, in order to travel in a disguise ; they again proceeded on their way, but were thunderstruck at a post chaise stopping suddenly opposite them, and a man from within demanding of the strangers, as he thought, if they had seen persons answering to the description of them selves. The young man answered in the negative. The well•known voice made the inquirer look at the strangers, and they were immediately recognised. The young woman was taken into the chaise and conveyed home, and the young man was left to bewail his unfortunate situation. — Bath Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury.)
