COURT OF CHANCERY, Jinx II WARD OF COURT.-111A1t8ACK V..341,13t5.00K. Just before the rising of the Court Mr. liatir applied, on the part of a gentleman who is the elder brother of a young lady of the name of Eleanor Maim& to restrain a gentleman of the name of Brovin from marrying her, if-he had not al ready done so; that he do forthwith deliver her pp to her friends ; and that he . Might be restrained from all intercourse with her, &c. The facts, shortly stated, , are these : —The lady, a ward of the Court, is only It; years. or age, and' is entit led to a large fortune. Mr. Brown was sAid to be 4,1 )iersoo of small fortune: he alleges that the lady his beeorne his wife ; that the marriage took place by the consent of her mother, now at Weymouth ; and that they are living together as husband and wife, &c. Mr. Hain., on the part date hrother/ . desired that if the marriage had taken effect; then that the said Mr. Brown do lay before the Master a drattght of settlement, 144 e., on the lady. The LORD CRANCELLOR, on learning that the facts were verified by affidavit ordered Mr. B rown , marr i e d o r not mar ried, to attend the Court on Thursday next, and the mother to attend with hint : that if not married, he should forthwith 'deliver up the lady, and be restrained from intereourstrwkffilot) Ikt. Mr. Farr was the next witness. He if a Spanish merchant, resident in London, stud has known the plaintiff fifteen years. e now and then' brought bills* to witness' which he discounted for him. IVitnetts had previously entertained a good opinion of the plaintiff; bin having seen the paragraph containing this statement, he began to hayedOubts about him ; and on account of that very paragraph did not like to discount any Inore for him . ; but when he found that the plaintiff* was' going to bring an action against The Morning Chronicle; and saw that he could clear hiS character, he discounted a bill for TOOL tbr hitn.

It was understood that the &licit& to the' Society had been instructed to oppose the diszharge •of the insoivent„for other creditors who had settled with the insolvent,' paid ' the coats, and withdrawn' their opposition, and the Society had talcen up and continued the saute opposition. Mr. Pottocx, for the insolvent, was at a loss to know how Mr. Ciainsford became an opposing creditor , z. as h c• was only in structed to meet the case of other opposing.PurdE!s who had alone entered en opposition z' the case was a tnfl'ing one.

The innocence of Protestants as to the • worship . of this Lady has been vaunted by one of our cotemporaries, but . it would appear from sacred writ that it is a very old sin'; as we find in 'Jere tniah, chap. vii. yeries 17 to 20, inclusive, that it was for this and the like idolatries that the Prophet was commissioned to denounce the vengeance of Almighty God against the Jews thus trespassing; Again, in the 3 , lth chap. of the same book, from the 15th verse to the end c the 'obitinate per. severance of that people in rejecting the proferred counsel is strongly depicted. Indeed, Mr. I Editor, I have never been able to distinguish between much of the idolatry of the Jews of ancient times (I say idolatry, because it is ex , pressly so termed in the and the worship of the Hosts of Heaven, us practised by those of the Romish Communion, (for such it is, however strenuously Papists may deny it) of the present day. If any of your Readers will point out whmlu the difference, not merely the distine.- tioU ) but the real, essential, and unquestionable difference-consists, I shall feet obliged by your favouring us with an account of the line drawn. For my own part, I see them uncover the head, make the sign of the cross, sprinkle themselves with (as they call it, blessed or holy) water ; bow down to, and kneel before the imagei ; burn tapers, and make long prayers in front of the stone, metal, wooden, wax, and even baked clay saints, of every name and_ characte t t r ,almost, if not quite as much, and apparently with the same devotion, as they do to the figure .or our Saviour himself. Now, I would beg to ask, what is this but worship, at least in form ? or, if it be not, in what does worship consist ? Next, what is to be understOod by the term Hosts ? Un , doubredly it was first intended to designate the luminaries of the firmament (see Deuteronomy, chap. iv. ver. 19) ; but, by a figure of speech, I apprehend it to Include those departed spirits which are supposed to inhabit the regions of the blessed; and of whom, therefore, we are com mended not even to make any likeness, as being of Things in Heaven above. I do not by this com munication wish to raise any thing like contro versy, but merely to ascertain wherein the differ ence can' be found between the actions before referred to, and the formi of worship enjoined by the Ritual of the Rotnish Church.

The Academy, on his invitation, appointed a Committee to examine these inventions. They are thus deseribed The Warner is to give the mariner. immediate intelligence when in shoal water, without, the assistance of the lead and line. The Rater is to give the rats of a ship's sailing, which is a substitute for the log, and can be managed with great ease and facility by one person, whereas it always requires nip, and sometimes three persons to throw the log, which is uniformly ngreed by Gentlemen skilled in navigation, to be an imperfect method of deciding the rate of sailing with any degree of precision. The object of the Vatlemier is to obtain soundings without heaving to, or being obliged to retard the pro of the vessel.-,These instruments I have viewed with much pleasure, more than one, and have been very minutely and scientifically explained to me by Dearborn. They discover self-evident testimony favourable to their practical operation ; and .some particulars yet remain to be accomplished which can be obtained onlybY Metiee hence the reason of my recommending that the experiments May be made under the direction of an officer so thoroughly familiarized with nautical subjects, whose decision may be re lied upon with confidence;, and, if favourable on all or either of the instrutnents'here named, very valuable advantages will, accrue to nations from its use." Mr. SCARLETT (with whom was Mr. F. Pot.Locx) ad dressed the Jury for the plaintiff, whom be stated to be a bro ker, of strict probity and honour, who was one of the first engaged in conducting the trade of this country to South Ame rica after the revolution in that quarter of the world. He had brought this action against the defendants, proprietors of The .111orxing Chronicle, to recover a compensation in damages for a libel on his character, which had been published in that Journal. The libel of which he complained appeared in the form . of a paragraph, in the paper of %S ednesday, the dth of Sept. 1822, which was as follows A broker who hit* long residedin London, went out some time since to Alaranham, in a brig, .with liberty to touch at Pernambuco, carrying with him a con aiderable quantity of false and fabricated silver and copper coif, manufactured at Birmingham. On his arrival at Maran ham, be paid this money into the hands of the South American treasurer, who began to distribute it as p a y to t h e troops ._ They went to market, with -what wait issued to them at their pay ; but, the fraud being discovered, the market people re tuned to supply them with provisions, so that it would not pale; The treasurer being arrested, waiesentenced to undergo severe punishment. The brig was detrained, but the broker made his escape. Thole frauds and forgeries having been practised I largely all over the free Governments Of South America, they will now See upon their guard against other numerous frauds practised upon the friendS of freedom in that country." In speaking of the great public advantages of a free press ' he (Mr. Scarlet° should have abstained, during the life of Mr. Perry, the late Proprietor of The Morning Chronicle, from the tribute he was now about tb pay to his memory, because he would -not- be thought to court the favour of the press. Now, however, the worthy individual whom be had named was no more, he had no such feelings to restrain him, and he - Would say that a man' more distinguished for ean'dour find liberality never had, and in all probability never would be found eonddct ing the free press of this country. So tender Wat he in his treatment of private character,' so anxious to prevent the injuri ous operation of retlectiont unjustly cast upon the reputation of any person, that in every instance of complaits being made, he showed the utmost solicitude to afford proMpt relief to the feelings of the Individuals, by the most liberal and gentlemanly apology that could be made. But, NAY different was the conduct -of the present conductors of that Journal ? When the plaintiff in this case went to complain of the libel . in question, accompanied by hit' friend, 'Mr. Lantister, and desired to be informed who vows - dm author, the answer lie re.. evived was not "how shall we remedy the wrong that has been done you ?" but, " we shall not tell." And on repies emotion and that of Ms friend. that the Statemelit which had been made was false, and that they would untlertlike to show that it was so, the only reply they could get was, " than you have your remedy." Thus no resource was left him to rescue his cheractet from total ruin, but by bringing this action. He (Mr. S.) was ready to - admit that the pub. hither might not be actuated by the same malicious motive es the inventor of a malignant slander; but this he would say, that by much the greater mischief was done by the publisher. The freedom. of the press, in the hands of liberal and discreet conductors, was calculated to promote the greatest good, and to produce the most beneficial effects upon the morals, as well AA ale other interests of nations; but if improperly directed, no engine could be invented more calamitously mischievous in its operation, particularly when employed for the purpose of difflising libellous slanders for the destruction of private character: Tile Jury, therefore, would see the neemitY of, curbing its licentiousness, by h o ldi ng a severe hand, and exercising a strong and vigilant controlsl over so dangerous an, engine. The first witness called was 3lr. Daniel Ellis, from the Stamp Office, who produced the certificate signed by Mr. David Robertson, as printer, and James Perry, Esq• as Pr° , prietor of The Morning Chroni e l e _lt was then admitted that Mr. Bentley was the present proprietor, and Mr. Robertson printer and publisher of the paper. Captain John Strange wee then sworn—lle sailed on the voyage in question in command of the brig Britannia, to South America. The pleinktiph e a prosil y un board the tress sel on the voyage in qttestion, amounting to front three to four thoueand pounds. There was no fourniation whatever in fact for the-libel. t t o he th w e i d tn e m liv a c . ry of the Cross-examined by the Solicitor-GetieraL — The vessel was two dawyisthatthAelslaitiapl"sharZie°t:tainhgy detained i rs ne , ll. There was tio troth in the statement of the plaintiff having taken out false coin. Mr. Bennet, Secretary to Lloyd's, deposed that he knetr the plaintiff, and the connection of the latter with the Manna hum trade, and that the libel applied to no other person. Mr. Norton Lancaster, one of the Cormnittee at Lloyd's, deposed that he was present when the tlitilagiaPh containing the libel was read to the Committee. Witness said, imri l e.;. diately, he knew that it applied to the plaintiff, but that he WAS confident there was no truth in it. lie Went to Th e m orn . I, e chronic* Office .several times with the plaintiff and and saw Me. Black, the Editor, who said he had it a re mercantile house in the city, and asked Mr. Whi te if i t was not true that he had sonic bad money in the bug,, that he took out with hint ? The plaintiff answered that he land not seen the contents, but they were inspected by the proper Officers of the Customs. The Plaintiff denied the truth ot the states inent, and represented to Mr. Black the serious injury which such an imputation at this libel.con ythied would do him, as he had at that time a vessel going out to South .America with a To this , cargo and o rg t u h f o t u h s evalu r e ftr t three hottad pot m tahn°u"na Puunds, tou t l ou t b es id es three inits ore of property there which lie was about to bring home . Mt. Bl ac k t h en askeilif it was not true that there was some donur abo ut t h e copper , if not about the silver? edthat they sheuld ca ll t h e next Mr. Black to let hint see the manuscript, which he said he could not do as of as it l the pleintiff a ne W ered—not that he had ever heard. The plaititf then asked t w ig. init ti v, ie ,as ha t t i t i tl en -wr a i gre tlPg t)ia pereon belongin g to the day. The did call accordingly , and Air. Black then told them lie could not give up the author, without the express authority of the respectable merchant front whom the information was derived, as it was gratuitously communi cated • and to give up the party witlioet snelt au t h or i ty, would have-ate e ff ect of Closing that channel of infiki nei i on altogether The plaintiff then became angry',, and shelved some resentment The negodition terminated in bola "T'cts l thet Mr. Black should meet the plaintifi'on the Loyal "ge ange, when thepaias graph should be reed o ver to the Most respectable Merchants there, who would deny the truth of the contge imputed to the pleintiff. Mr. Black then asked if the vessel had not been Sein.(l ? to which the plaintiff replied with saute warmth, " No, Sir." It wits then observed by witness that the word " Bir mingham" was the very pith of the libel, to which Mr. Black answered, that whetltur manufn cthred a t Birmingham or New Zealand was quite immaterial, so long as ball had been found in the bags taken out by the plaintiff. Cross4xamined by Mr. Oat Pim Lt.--. Witness said that e t t h e first interview with hlr. Black, he did not recollect any thing belny iv ssid about the :view a the brig, It apP ear ed w i tness unit tr. track bad - fi na lly stated that this information had been brought to them by sonic person reguarly employed, and Thii closed the case for the plaintiff: The'Soetcyreut.GENE nat. then addicesetl the Jury in de: fence, contending that no malicious or libellous intention on the limit of the defendants had been shesen, nor could any such intention for a mom ent b e suppose d to have existed in the mind of either of them ;. the one, Mr. Bentley; being merely a trustee for the benefit of the family of Mr. Perry,, and the other de e lentlant, Mr. Robertson,heing merely the printer of the paper. Neither of them could n0:4151y know any thing of the trutli or falsehood of the contents of this paragraph, nor could they be Whiten* by any sinister or improper motivaor its inf l ection. It had come to them in the regular course of daily cohnnuni-* cation; aril the hurry in which every body:knew, especially since the introduetion of Some modern improvements, the newspapers were sent to press-, the number of persons 'of necessity promiscuously employed in the extraordinary ex,, ;Widen that was used, rendered it next to impossible tha t the nominal (he admitted they were legally responsible) con ductors of a daily paper could be morally responsible for_ the meth or falsehood of every article of miscellaneous inteiligenee which, in many cases, through accident, found its wey into their columns. lie requested the Jury to bear in mind, that M. Black was not identified With the defendants in the neglect which the plaintiff complained of having experienced in his interview with that gentleman. If the plaintiff had denied the insertion of any thing in the shape of contradiction to. the article complained of, by way of repelling what he consi. dered an unfounded imputation on his character, and the de. fentlants had refused insertion, to such a qualification of the libel, the case would indeed have worn a very different com plexion. Did the plaintiff seek, by bringing this action, to make money of his character, while he claimed the distiognish , ed place in society of a British merchant or broker of high ree spectability P Such could not for a moment be supposed his -object, for it was incompatible with the honour of, the 'cum; mercial character. All that he could, as a man of honour, de sire, was the vindication of his character, which would be satii ` tactorily attained by a verdict for nominal damages ; and this not being of that species of wanton and malevolent attack upon_ private character which his Learned Friend had spoken of, such, he trusted, would bo the verdict which the Jury would give. He should call no witnesses, but leaie the case with them as it stood. The LOrirlettlEr RIT IC LI, addressing the jury, obServed, that, among the topics introduced to them by the Solicitor-oe , betel, one which he seemed particularly desirous of urging was, that Mr. Bentley was not to be considered a proprietor of The, Morning' Chronicle, his name being entered es such solely be cause he was a trustee for the family of the lite Mr. Perry.

Casein, of the Flora, for a monition under the folloiv. ing circumstances. The ship Flora, on her voyage to the port of Lima, with a valuable cargo, including a considerable Ono tity of quicksilver, was captured by bard Cochraine's squadron, and curried into Valparaiso. Subsequently to her capture, however, the captain managed to get possession of the quick silver, and to transship it into a vessel bound for England. • For this action he was imprisoned in Lima for about three months, and at the end of that time liberated. The quicksilver being at present on the high seas, and hourly expected to arrive, Capt. Casern prayed the judgment Of the Court to grant its monition aga irt t the vessel and her master, in order to Save hit salvage claim hereafter.--Monition granted. TUE FLORA. . _. The case of this vessel; which having been rini'oved put of the jurlidietion of the Sheriff of Dent was retaken under his authority within the boundaYies of the county of 'Middlesex, and in which action, it will bejernerobered, the owner (a , Air. field) was admitted to sue " in forma pouperii,' was to day, upon the application of Dr. JESINEiI i postponed to the next Court. THt 30IttEE NTCOLAUS pm,:inn: Lord STOWELL pronounced hid judgment in this cause, finding that the Act of Parliament, 53 Geo. 111., which au. thorizes the sale of so much of the cargo, free of ditties, as shsll be sufficient to deftay the expences of salvage, is not to be eon. strued to extend to the whole of the cargo, but is to be talten strictly within the limitation. Ara) TUE JANE Ala) tIATILD.X. The Coue's. then proceeded to give judgment noon the claim of Elisabeth Ste for wages doe to her in the capacity of cook and steward on board this vessel. His Lordship was of opinion that Stephens had clearly been hired by Chandler, the toaster and part owner of the Jane and Matilda. Singular and somewhat novel as this claim Might at first seem:coming from A female, it did appear from the evidence that she had performed; during a considerable time, the duties, not only of cdok and steward, but of a seaman and ship-keeper also. His Lordship intimated that the Court, however, would be unwilling, upon general principles, and indeed strongly disinclined, to encou rage claitns of this description, from their very obvious tendency to encourage licentiousness and imnuitality on board merchant vessels. lie then referred tau variety of cues, and among others, alluded to the china recently agitated between Lord Douglas and the Duke of Hamilton, as to the right of carrying the regalia of Scotland at the Comnadon of a Scottish ping ; in which it had been shown, on the authority of ancient traditions and public records, that great and heroic actions in the army and navy, highly serviceable to the public cause, had been per formed by females.. Women also had held, and discharged in person, high and dignified shires. A Duchess of 'Dorset had executed the duties of High Sheriff of the County of' Westmor land ; in which capacity she sat on the bench utuong, the Judges, and.absolutely assisted at the execution of criminals. Upon the whole of this case, his Lordship was otopininn, that the parties resisting the demand had had the full benefit of the woman's services, and Were therefore bound to pay for them. The Canal' finally pronounced for the sung of 601.; the amount of wages claimed.
