REDUCTION of the DUTY on TEA. On Tuesday a deputation from the Liverpool Association for the Reduction of the Duty on Tea met, by previous appointment, a number of gentlemen of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the Manchester Commercial Association, at the Royal Hotel. The Liverpool deputation consisted of Messrs. Christopher Rawson and Henry Winch, Deputy Chairmen of the Association; Messrs. William Rathb one, and A. Find lay. The gentlemen representing the Manchester Chamber of Commerce were Mr. Thomas Be zley, Pre sident; Mr. Lewis Williams, and Mr. T. Boothman, Secretary. The gentlemen appointed as a deputation from the Manchester Comme rcial Association, who were present, were Mr. James A. Turner, President; Messrs. James Atherton, Robert Gertner, John Pre i , R. J. Fairbridge, Leopold Reiss, Smith (of the firm of Mac gregor and Co.), and Hugh Fleming, Secretary. Mr. CHRISTOPHER Ra.wsoss having taken the chair, opened the business by stating the obj• et of the visit of the deputation to Manchester, which was to endeavour to enlist the sympathies and co-operation of the commer cial community of . Manchester in efforts making by the Liverpool Association to obtain a redaction of the pre sent high impost on tea. He remarked that it was use less to enter into the subject in any detail, as the Man • chester gentlemen present were, in all probability, as wellinformed on the subject as the deputation them selves. The Liverpool Association was most anxious to enlist the powerful aid of Manchester in the efforts now being made, and the deputation would suggest the for • mation in Manchester of an association like their own, embracing all parties, and having for its object the re duction of the present heavy duties on an article of such general consumption as tea. Mr. BAZLEY, as president of the Chamber of Com merce, stated to the deputation, that the board of di rectors of the Chamber had had a meeting on Monday morning; but its object was simply to appoint a deputa tion to meet that from Liverpool, and they had not come to any final determination with reference to the ques tion, except that they were opposed to the present high duties on tea, and the Chamber had, on more than one occasion, proved themselves to be so. As to forming themselves into an association, he might state that the Chamber of Commerce would act in that capacity only, dealing with this as with any other purely commercial question, and certainly could not form themselves into an association for any one parti cular object. He added that the board had not fully considered the subject at their meeting of the previous day, but they would meet again shortly, when it would receive their further consideration. Mr. JAMES ASPINALL TURNER, president of the Manchester Commercial Association, said that the council of that Association had met on the previous day, on the subjeet of tea duties, and had appointed the par ties then present to represent the association at this meeting. They had also passed a resolution, to the effect that the association having, both by memorial and de putation, expressed its opinion as to the injurious effect of the duties on tea, would still continue to take such further steps as might be necessary ; and with this view they resolved that a further memorial be for warded to Government, to be followed by a deputation to Lon don. As to the formation of an association here similar to that in Liverpool, he entirely concurred in the views already stated by Mr. Baxley, and must assure the de - putation that the Manchester Commercial Association would hold itself aloof from any agitation on the sub ject ; merely taking it up as a commercial association, dealing with a commercial question. Some conversation ensued as to the objects of the Liverpool Association, the evils of the high duties on tea, and the means it was taking to awaken attention to the subject in various mercantile and manufacturing commu nities. It was stated in the course of the conversation, that the Liverpool Association had sent deputations to Leeds and other towns in England, and also to the principal towns of Scotland arid Ireland, with the view of esrablishirr local a'sociations, and obtain ing the co-operalion of these companies in the move ment to be mode for the reduction of the tea duties. The conference, which occupiA about an hour, having terminated, Mr. Robert Gardner was celled to the chair, and The thanks of the Manchester deputations were voted to Mr. Christopher Rawson, for his conduct in presiding, or. tho motion of Mr. T. BAILEY, seconded by Mr. J. A. TURNER. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the deputation from the Liverpool Association, consisting of the gentle- men already named, waited by appointment, on Elkanah Armitage, Esq., the Mayor. They were received by his worship in the Mayor's parlour, the town clerk also being present. The deputation, having been introduced by Mr. Thomas Bazley, president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, after briefly referring to the object of the association, stated that their object in seek ing this interview was to urge the Mayor to give the sanction of his influence and assistance in any movement which might be made for the purpose of carrying out the object which the association had in view. It was also stated to the Mayor, that the deputation had already had interviews with deputations of the Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Association. The MAYOR said he thought they had done quite right in seeking interviews with these commercial bodies ; for it they could move them, so far as Manchester was eon corned, they would accomplish their object. As for himself, he should be most willing to convene a public town's meeting on the subject, whenever a requisition should be presented to him for that purpose by his fellow-townsmen, as he sympathised to the fullest pos sible extent with the objects of the association. The deputation thanked the Mayor for his courtesy, and intimated that, in this movement, as had been the case in previous movements, they should prefer following Manchester to leading it.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—At an early hour yesterday morning another of those mining explosions, which have of late been of such frequent occurrence, and attended with such fatal results, took place at Round's Green New Colliery, situated at Newberry-lane, near Oldbury, about five miles from this town. It appears that between five and six o'clock in the morning in ques tion some of the men at work in the mine descended into the pit ; these were accompanied by the manager and the " doggy," followed by others—in all twenty five men and boys. It was the business of the person employed under tha manager to ascertain the state of the ventilation, but whether he did so or not on this occasion does not appear. A short time after the de scent of the teen, the manager (Mr. Holland) disco• vered that some parts of the mine were filled with sul phur, and he cautioned his son not to proc:wd further in the direction ia which the vs pour rose. The younez man, at that moment, turned into . 3 new " gate read," apert from the infected atmo-phere. In less than three minutes he was startled by the report of an exple.ion, which, according to his own words, de prived him of his hearing. The candle he held in his hind was extinguished, and he a as left in total dark ness, and with difficulty preserved himself from suffoca tion. After the lapie of a few minutes he succeeded in groping his way to the shaft of the pit. Assi: tance was also rendered from the surface as speedily as possible, and on exaieining the mine the scene which presented itself was appalling. Bodies blackened acd burn. were scattered in all directions. Sixteen were immediately removed up the shaft dead ; three died within an hour afterwards, and another is not expected to survive. The consternation which this sad accident has created in the neighbourhood it is needless to de,eribe. Parents are left childless, and children rendered orphans. An inquest on the bodies of four of 'he unfortunate seen was held this day, before George Henchliffe, E-q., coroner, at the Talbot Inn, Oldbury. A deep interest was excited by the proceedings. At the commencement of the inquiry the CORONER observed, that with a view to public convenience, he would classify the cases to be brought befere the jury that morning. The same evidence would apply to each case ; those reserved after that day's investigation would require evidence only as to personal identity. The cases he then intended to take were those of Joseph Troth, Jacob Boden, John Windmill, and Samuel Boden. The jury proceeded to view the bodies of the - four unfortunate men above named. The cottages in which they resided were extremely clean, but the bodies were scorched and dreadfully disfigured. Harriette Latimer was the first witness examined; she said—l am a married woman, and live in Oldbury. I knew Joseph Troth. He was a miner, and worked in Parker's pit. I saw him brought home yesterday morning. His body was dreadfully burnt. The witness gave the same evidence with regard to the identity and injuries of the two Bodens and Windmill. Thomas Rovle—l lire at Brown's-green, and am a banksman at Mr. Parker's coal-pit, at Newberry-lane, Oldbury. I was there when the men went down into the pit yesterday morning. The first men went down about half-past five o'clock. I saw Troth, Windmill, and the two Bodens go down about six o'clock. I saw Holland, the " butty," go down the pit, but whether it was before or after the four men named went down I don't know. He generally went down with them. Joseph Smith wan the " doggy" of the pit, and managed under Holland. He generally went down before Holland in the morning, and he went down before him about half an hour yesterday morning. Five-and -twenty men went down the pit yesterday morning. Mr. Thomas Hales was the ground bailiff of the works. I t was not his business to attend regularly and go down t he pit. A little be fore seven o'clock I heard a great noise, as if gunpowder had gone off, and the fire showed itself at the top of the pit. In consequence of seeing the flames I made an alarm immediately, and several men came from a stone pit adjoining. When they came we got the ropes on as soon as we could and some men went down; and amongst others I recollect the four persons respecting whom this inquiry is instituted being brought up. Some of the men who went down to assist the sufr_rers were brought up insensible. Sixteen men wer brought up dead out of the pit. Five others were seriously injured, and four escaped unhurt. Three out of the five seriously injured have died since. I can't ra y whether or not the " deggy" took down the safety lamp yesterday morning. Some times he did and sometimes he did not. There are usually safety lamps in the pit, but sometimes they are brought up to be cleaned Alter seine further evidence hed been gone into, upToohetwCooaortr id . he und, r,t .od that the inquest had been adjourned, and other inques e ts bo bt, " at'pointed to be held the same sfternoon at various distances, o he should adjourn the present inquiry until to-morrwThe bodies of the unfortunate sufferers lie in thr ee Coun ties, so that there will b e three separate inquests.

Wednesday Mr. Mills, Deputy Coroner, resumed and concluded an inquest at the Hoop and Toy Tavern, Old Brompton-road, on the body of James Cosey, aged forty three years, brickla3 er's labourer, in the employ of Messrs. Emmens, builders, of Rawstone-street, Brompton, whose death was occasioned by the fall of several houses in course of erection in Alfred-place West, Thurlow square, Old Brompton, on Thursday lest. The particu lars of the first inquiry were fully reported in this journal ' on Monday last. The principal witnesses examined yesterday were John Collins, a labourer, who was at work on the scaffolding when the building gave way, and Mr. Blore, the sur veyor to the freehold of the ground. The former witness seemed very re luctant to state that the materials were nut of the best kind, but it was extract' d from him that in making the mortar, four bushels of sand were mixed with one of lime, aid that he i hought a larger propor tion of lime would have been better. He would not tell by whose orders that proportion of materials had been used. Mr. Blore agreed with the witness pre viously examined, in attributing the cause of the accident to the haste with which the walls had been run up, not having allowed the mortar, during the wet weather, to set; and he thought that the vibrations of the ladder, by the men ascending and descending, had tended also to weaken the building and to accelerate its fall. The jury after deliberating fir nearly two hours, re turned the following special verdict :—" That the de ceased man was killed by the falling of certain houses in Alfred-place West, Old Brompton, and that the houses so tell because they were not securely built. And in returning this verdict the jury express their considera tion (founded upon the evidence . produced before them) that the said houses were built more rapidly than they ought to have been, considering the dampness of the weather, the height of the houses, and the directions of the Act of Parliament which compelled the builder to construct the party wall without bond timbers. At the same time the jury hope that next year the erection of party walls, with and without bond timbers, will be made a subject for Legislative investigation through the evidence of practical working builders, carpenters, and bricklayers, with a view to ensure safer modes of erect ing places constructed chiefly of bricks. The jury, m oreover, cannot separate without stating their convic tion that the more effectual revision of the work in all its divisions was not exercised by the persons having authority over it all the time when the houses in ques tion were being built." The inquiry, which lasted several hours, excited the greatest attention from the densely crowded court. Mrs. Lover, wife of Mr. Samuel Lover, died on Tuesday morning, in Baker-street, after a short illness, leaving two daughters to lament her loss. Mr. Lover is in America giving his Irish Evenings with great success ; and a public dinner was recently given to him at Boston by the literati of that city.

GOVERNMENT WORKS IN GUERNSEY.—The slight and parenthetical manner in which the intention of her Majesty's Government to construct extensive works in Guernsey was announced at the last meeting of the States, caused the value of that fact to be less perfectly appreciated than it would have been had it been more emphatically exposed to the public. The importance of this fact can scarcely be over-estimated. The works upon which Government have determined, will, we believe, be of the most extensive nature, involving an outlay in this island of at least 500,0004 The plan, we believe. em- LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 19. The Lord Chancellor took appeal motions and appeals ,o-day. CHUCK V. CREMER. This case came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, refusing to dissolve an injunction he had pre viously granted, restraining the defendant Cremer from proceeding upon a judgment which he had obtained at law. The facts, as stated by counsel upon which the case came before the Court, were as follows :—The plaintiff Chuck was a malster and carrier, carrying on business in the county of Surrey, and the defendant Cremer was the executor of a gentleman named Bell, a farmer of some repute in the same county. During the lifetime of Mr. Bell, considerable transactions took place between him and the plaintiff Chuck, and at Bell's death, according to his books, Chuck was indebted to him to the amvunt of 2,000/. Upon Creiner, the defendant, the executor of Bell, applying to Chuck for the payment of that amount; he denied that he owed Bell more than 9301. for malt, wl.ich he was ready to pay. Cremer then brought an actio►► against Chuck for 2,0001., and upon its coming on to be tried at the Surrey assia.-s, it was agreed to refer the matter to the arbitration of Mr. Sergeant Dowling; that Learned Gentleman made his award in favour of Cremer to the extent of 5941., and judgment was signed against Chuck upon that award. Chuck applied to the Court of Ex chequer to stay proceedings under that judgment, and upon tbat application being refused, he filed the present bill, alleging that the arbitrator having miscarried in his award, by excluding evidence which he ought to have admitted, he was enti tled to the interference of a court of equity to stay the proceedings under the judgment that had been issued upon that award. Upon the case coming on be fore the Vice-Chancellor he granted the injunction, and refused to dissolve it upon a motion for that purpose, and from that judgment the present appeal motion was brought. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Daniels were in support of the appeal. Mr. Bethell and Mr. Bolt were in favour of the tudgment below. At the suggestion of the Lord Chancellor the case was ordered to stand over till the first seal after term (December 2), to give an opportunity to counsel to pro duce authorities for the interference of a court of equity in the case of a judgment at law. THE DUKE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST. Mr. BETHELL replied to-day in this case, the facts of which we have already shortly given, and The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment to-morrow. braces the construction of Stupendous breakwaters so as to form a naval harbour between Fermain Bay and the Terres Point, with magazines and other requisite buildings, together with barracks, in the vicinity of Fort George,. for the accommodation of several thou sand men, whilst defensive works will also be esta blished at the Vale, and at Jethou or Brehon. These works, while in course of construction, will occasion as immense expenditure in labour alone, and the wages of this labour will, of course, be chiefly ex pended amongst the tradesmen and farmers of the island, so that our commerce and agriculture will receive an infusion of new life, and be restored to that healthful SALKELD V. JOHNSON. In this case, which came before the Court upon a point of equity reserved, a case, by the consent of all parties, was directed for the opinion of the Court o Exchequer. to forfeiture by the second section of the Act ; but the 4th section enacted that nothing in the Act contained, should extend so far as to render any vessel liable to forfeiture, if it were bound from one foreign port to another. The warrant, on the face of it, should have discovsrol, but it did not do so, and therefore was not sufficient to sustain the conviction. Mr. Justice PATresosr— The Act states that no com mitment shall be held bad in consequence of any defect in the warrant, provided it shall appear that the con viction shall have taken place upon good and valid grounds. Therefore, the Court has power to inquire into the facts, and amend any defect that may happen. Mr. LUSH contended that there was another point, viz. that no person could be detained under the Act, except by the officer of the customs, army, or navy ; and that the justices could only detain the accused for such time as could affikrd leisure for communication with the Custom-house in London. In this case the justices had ordered the man to be detained fort n days, and then brought befcre them. On the tenth day he vk as brk‘ught before them, but the magistrates, in cons quence of one of their body being pressed for time, refused to hear the case until the day following, when under their own commitment the party was out of their jurisdiction. The application was granted. THE MASTERS AND SERVANTS ACT.—IN RE JAMES LORD. Mr. II unnixsToNE moved for a writ of certiorari to bring up the conviction of James Lord, and to admit him to bail. In this case the magistrates of Salfikrd com mitted the prisoner Lord fur a breach of contract, under the Masters and Servants Act, for three months. The case could not be discussed this term, and therefore the sentence of the three months' imprisonment would ex pire before the case could be heard. Mr. COWLING said that the magistrates of the county of Lancashire were very anxious that the case should be fully argued, as the case was one of very considerable importance, and might be a precedent to many others. Mr. Justice PATTESON said that the case would be placed on the Crown paper, to be argued in the full Court. In the meantime, bail might be accepted in the country for two sureties of 404 and the prisoner himself in 801. PRENDERGAST V. LUSH/NGTON. The arguments in this application from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigrarn, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. The only question in the case was whether a lady was entitled to a permanent annuity of 1,500/. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 19. The LORD CITIES BARON gave notice, at the sitting of tie Court, that the Court would take the cases on the special paper in the order as set down, commencing with the one part heard, on Monday next, Nov. 23. The cases disposed of to-day presented no feature of public importance. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 19. HAYNES V. TAYLOR. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the Western Gas Light Company from proc, eding with the erection of their works on the south side of the Grand Junction Canal at Kensal-green. Mr. KINDERSLEY, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated that his client had been for the last twelve years possessor of a piece of freehold ground at Kensal- green, part of which was in the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, and part in Kensington; and he also purchased a piece of ground adjoining his freehold. lie had erected a house on this property, which was situated on the Surrey side of the Grand Junction Canal, a site peculiarly favourable in point of salubrity, as well as on those other points which are usually regarded in a residence. Upon this mansion and its appurtenances Mr. Haynes had laid out 15.000/., but since its erection Mr. Jenkins, a large proprietor in the neighbourhood, had granted leases of certain lands under him, upon which a number of small houses had been erected, a circumstance which, it would be seen, was pertinent to the present case, and which had been called Kensal New Town. However, hitherto the neighbourhood was exempted from any nuisance. At a short distance from the residence of Mr. Haynes was a small piece of ground which had been purchased in 1844 by the proprietors of the proposed gas company. Mr. Taylor was thechairman of thecommittee of the company. A prospectus was issued by the committee of that com pany, which after stating the amount of shares, &c., set forth ; that the directors had secured a most excel lent piece of freehold ground, describing the same so as to leave no doubt that it referred to a piece of ground distant about 88 yards from the house of the plaintat A search had been made in the registry office, and it was found that the only property purchased by the com pany, were some premises near Vauxhall-bridge, while from their deed it appeared that they were not limited to the use of any material in the manufacture of their gas, so that it might be made from tar or the most disagree able and noxious bodies suited to the purpose. Oa the 3d of August, 1846, the defendants proceeded to lay out the ground at Kensal-green for the erection of their manu factory, and workmen were now digging the foundation. On the sth of August, 1846, a meeting was held of the inhabitants of Vauxhall, and resolutions were carried, to the effect that the establishment of this manufactory was very dangerous to the salubrity of the neighbourhood. In consequence of the expression of this feel ing, the Company discontinued their works at Vauxhall. But near Mr. Haynes's there were none but the poorer classes resident, and these had been induced to came forward and express themselves favourable to the erec tion of the proposed manufactory, saying that it would lead to an expenditure of money in the neighbourhood, and would consequently be most beneficial to those resi dent there. The Learned Gentleman cited the opinions of Mr. Cooper, Dr. Dew, &c., to show that decomposition of coal by heat must necessarily produce most disagreeable effluvia, and be productive of certain diseases, arising from impurity of atmosphere. Messrs. Turner and Roupell followed on the same side. The case for the defendants was not entered into, and the Court rose shortly after three o'clock. vigour to which - they have so long been strangers; and houses and lands may again acquire something like their former value. Nor will the completion of the works bring a termination to this state of things. On the con trary, it will make it permanent. With an extensive naval harbour, and barracks for a large military force, these will be the crews of ships, and troops, whose ex penditure will fertilize the island, giving activity to all branches of industry, and adding sensibly to the local revenue. Moreover, the completion of the works in question, and the formation of the establishments which must be connected with them, will give Guernsey an importance which it has never hitherto possessed, and perhaps invest it with those attractions to visitors in which it at present is wanting. Another immense ad vantage will be, that in case of war persons would feel perfectly secure in remaining in the island, as the de fences which it will possess would effectually guarantee it against a coup de main, the only danger to which it could at any time be exposed, and consequently it would not be depopulate d, as it now would be, if hostilities were to take place.—Guernsey Star. CURE FOR RABBITS..—I was once informed that rabbits have a dislike to treading upon a newly turned-up soil---(says a correspondent of the Gardener's Chronicle) —I thought I would give the thing a trial. Five rows of young cauliflower plants were put in where rabbits were known to be; the plants were allowed to remain undis turbed for the first two nights after they were planted; on the third morning a few plants were destroyed, on the evening of that day the ground was disturbed with a Dutch hoc; the next morning when they were examined, all the plants were safe; the hoeing was continued for some time, until the plants were well taken with the ground, and when that is the case they are seldom eaten by rabbits, unless they are very numerous and provisions short. The hoeing may be done in a few moments in the evening, and, besides keeping off the rabbits, is a benefit to the plants. AMERICAN SODA BISCUITS.—A new article of im port has recently been brought into this country from America, called soda biscuits. Several shipments have been made, but as yet the demand exceeds the supply. The biscuits are made very light—about twenty to the pound, are of excellent quality, eating as fresh as if they had just left the oven. They are retailed in Liverpool at 6d. per lb. ; but as the supply has hitherto been chiefly from one baker, a higher price has been obtained than they could be supplied at were there competition. We are informed thaa the maker of them has found the specu lation so profitable that he has resolved to build six large ovens to extend his trade. So far he has been able to keep the business in his own hands ; but we learn that several English bakers have resolved to try the experi ment ; aid when it is stated that one barrel of flour will make three barrels of biscuits, and that the freight of a barrel of biscuits and a barrel of flour are the same, there seems to he every reason to think that they will success- Idly compete with the American maker ; and when it is known in the States that their biscuits are a profit able ›hiptitent, there will be more general supplies, and ens Tient reduction in price.—Liverpool Conner. CITY INSPECTORS OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.— VICE- CHA NCERY COURT, Nom 19. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of,ENGLAND.) His Honour took motions to-day, but no case calling 'or a special report came before the Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov 19. ADIE V. HILL.—REGISTRATION APPEALS. On the assembling of the Court this morning, Mr. COCKBURN applied in the above case for their Lordships to postpone it till next term, in order that a fresh notice might be given by the appellant, the ten clear days required between the serving of the notice and the day fixed for hearing the appeal having been omitted, from a misunderstanding of the provisions of the Act. Unless the Court extended its indulgence, a great number of the appeals lodged would be quashed from the decision the Court had come to on Monday last. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after consulting with the rest of their Lordships, said, the Legislature, under the present Registration Act, had delegated powers to this Court of a most important nature, and which it behoved them to exercise in a careful and scrupulous manner. The law stated, that in all matters relating to the revi sion of votes for the election of Members of Parliament the decision of the revising barrister was conclusive, except the reservation, under certain conditions, of an appeal to the present Court. In making such an appeal it was required that the appellant should give his notice of appeal, so that ten clear days should be allowed be tween the day it was lodged and the day on which the appeal was to be heard. The law on this had left no discretion to the Court. It emphatically declared ten days at least. Where, therefore, the Legislature for the first time delegated such important powers to a court of law, as to decide conclusively on the elective franchise, such court was bound strictly to confine itself to the Act of Parliament. If the law was found too stringent, it should be left to the Legislature to relax its provisions, but it would be introducing a greater evil than any that might exist from the operations of the statute, if the Court assumed judicial power, and allowed the in dulgence sought by an extension of time, in a matter in which the Act was so distinct and pre cise. He did not see that if the hearing . was postponed till next term, the appellant would be in any better position than now. The time had gone past for allowing the ten days required, and however hard it may be considered on those who were desirous of securing electoral advantages, the Court was bound to refuse the application. The rest of their Lordships concurred, and the appeal was dismissed. GALE V. THE TOWN-CLERK OF MALMESBURY. Mr. COCKBURN applied on behalf of the appellant in this case. The appeal was against the retention of the names of certain freemen on the burgess roll, it being alleged that they bad not acquired their right by mar riage or birth. After Mr. Cockburn had addressed the Court for a few minutes in explanation of the objection, The COURT, without hearing the other site, decided that the objection was bad, and ordered the dismissal of the appeal, with costs. JONES V. NICHOLLS.—THE BOROUGH OF BEWDLEY. In this case the respondent did not appear, and as it appeared the notice was only served on the 2d Novem ber, the case was dismissed. BOUCHER V. THOMPSON.—THE COUNTY OF WEIIITMORE• LAND. This was an appeal against the decision of the Re. vising Barrister for the county of Westmoreland, and the point raised was the nature of the tenure of appel lant. Mr. Cockburn appeared on behalf of the appellant, and Mr. Arnold for the respondents. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the sole question to be considered in the present case was, whether the party claiming to vote had a freehold tenure. It ap peared the rent of the property was sufficient to consti tute a freehold, but not sufficient to give a qualification under any other qualification. The property, it seemed, was held by a burgage tenure, under which the appellant paid a rent to a certain individual, but the amount was not stated. There was, however, no manor or superior lord. Now, the party being in possession of the pro perty, and there being no superior lord, the presumption was, that the freehold was in him, and they had now to consider whether there were any circumstances to cut down that presumption. On inquiry, the Court found that the party was not only in possession of the pro perty without a superior claimant, but also that he had voted in respect of the property at several elections. The only objection that had in reality been urged against the validity of his tenure was, that the mode of conveyance was not a freehold admitting of conveyance in common l aw , and that t he he (the Lord Chief Justice) would t s in the present case, the entire absence freehold must, in co nse q uence, re st in some super ior lord. answer, T t h o e r e that, was of all baseness; there were no manorial rights or copy of roll, none of the ordinary evidence of copyhold. Under such circumstances, though the mode of conveyance might not be in consonance with common law, the property bad been coveyed by a local custom in operation from time immemorial ; he considered the Court was bound to give effect to the freehold, and to hold that the proper legal inference was, that the property was siesed and in possession of the appellant. lie considered, there fore, the decision of the Revising Barrister was errone ous, and ought to be revised, a d n that the name of the appellant should be placed on the regi-ter. The rest of their Lordships concurred, each assigning at considerable length their reasons for so deciding. Decision accordingly reversed. NIX V. FIELD. —THE BOROUGH OF WARWICK. This was an appeal against a decision of the Revising Barrister, for the borough of Warwiek. The case is a consolidated one, and the point raised was, whether a scot and lot voter having once allowed himself to be dis qualified by the nonpayment of the rates for one parti cular year, could, under the provisions of the Reform Act, on the payment of rates during any subsequent year claim to have his name placed on the register. The respondent in the present instance had failed last year to pay his rates, on or before the 31st of July, and had had his name struck from the register. This year be paid up his rates and made his claim, which the Revising Barrister allowed ; beace the appeal. Mr. Hayes having been heard in support of the appeal, and Mr. Mellor for the respondent, The COURT gave judgment. It would be a very hard construction of the Act if it was held that the man who had received parish relief should be considered qualified to vote, while he who contributed to support others, but failed for one year from poverty to pay his rates, should be permanently disfranchised for life. From a careful construction of the Act, their Lordships were clearly of opinion that the failure of the payment of rates in 1845 by ' the respondent only disqualified him for one year, and that he was perfectly at liberty to place himself on the register the following year by pay ing up his arrears. The present party had not been off the register for two years, and did not come under the disfranchising provisions of the statute. The decision of the Revising Barrister must, therefore, be sustained, and the appeal be dismissed. a COURT OF QUEEN'S BEN CH, Nov. 19. THE BISHOP OF NORWICH V. THE REV. MR. BLUCK.. NONRESIDENCE OF A CLERGYMAN. This was a criminal proceeding under the Church Discipline Act of the Ist and 2d Victoria, at the instance of the Bishop of Norwich, against the Rev. Mr. Bluck, minister of the parish of Walsoken, in Norfolk, for the " reformation of the manners" of the Rev. Gentleman, and to recover certain penalties for "non-residence." The proceeding was instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court, and the Rev. Mr. Bluck was declared guilty of the offence of " non-residence." He appealed to the Arches Court against the decision, who confirmed it; he then appealed to the Privy Council, where it was again confrmed ; and he now came to this Court with a similar view. His appeal was based on the ground that the proceeding ought not to have been a criminal but a civil proceeding. A rule had been obtained from this Court calling upon the Bishop of Norwich to show cause why the iudgment of the Court below should not be quashed. The case now came on for argument. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL maintained that under the Ist and 2d Victoria, a proceeding for " reformation of manners " in the Ecclesiastical Court, could not be otherwise than criminal, but admitted that the penalty which the bishop of a diocese was empowered to sue for under the Act, was a civil proceeding, and that pro ceedings might be instituted for its recovery in any of the Temporal Courts at Westminster. The proceeding was criminal as regarded the " reformation of manners," and civil as regarded the penalty, and proceedings might be taken in both Ecclesiastical and Temporal Courts for the one or the other. He referred at considerable length, to the ancient and modern law on the subject, and held that the rule must be discharged. Mr. CoucH followed on the same side, and reiterated the arguments adduced by the Attorney-General. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER and Mr. BRAMWELL fol lowed in support of the rule being made absolute. The Court deferred its decision. THE QUEEN V. RITCHANAN. This was an indictment against the defendant, Mr. George Buchanan, of Chatham, for having acted as a solicitor without being duly qualified, in the year 1844. Sir F. THESIGER prayed for the judgment of the Court upon the defendant, who appeared on the floor of the Court. He said he had looked into the affidavits, and found that the offence which the defendant bad com mitted was not of a serious nature, and would therefore be met by a nominal fine. The only circumstance in the case to which he would advert was that the defendant had aggravated his offence by having continued to act as a solicitor since the year 1844. Mr. HoRNE said the defendant had not been furnished with any notice stating that he was acting contrary to the Act of Parliament previous to the indictment. Lord DENMAN asked if he had continued to act as solicitor since he bad been found guilty? Mr. HORNE said he had not. He was clerk to the guardians of the poor of Canterbury. Sir F. THESIGER said the guardians had put the pro secution to great expense in this case. Lord DENMAN inquired if he had since taken out a cert . ficate ? The defendant said he had not. Mr. Justice COLERWGE fined the defendant 205., and intimated that he must not again act in opposition to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. The defendant at once paid the fine and retired. The Court shortly after rose. The lab , urs of these very u,eful functionaries are alto gi•ther suspended for the present, in consequence o f a defect in their appointment. arising from a singular over sight of ihe Corporation law officer; and all their pro ceedings since they began to exercise their official duties are rendered, in all probability, null and void; and the Corporation authorities are in no small trepidation lest the numerous persons who, on the prosecution of these inspectors, hive paid fines and costs. should claim a restoration of the money of which they have been mulcted without the requisitions of the law being duly complied with, and which, as part of the corporation funds, have been so creditably and usefully employed in trips to Ireland," visits to Oxford, Lord Mayor's show, and other civic recreations. Connected with the duties of these inspectors, it is, however, a rematkable fact, and greatly to the credit of the London Corporation, -com posed as it is for the most part of retail tradesmen, that not one of the aldermen or common cpuncilmen has 13.- en charged with an infraction of the minor morality of giving just weight and measure since the inspectors (ap pointed by the Corporation) began their office in the City.

Taking the whole commercial community at this moment, including the railway world, we believe there has been less speculation during the last six months than for a long time, and that the business done has been more of a bona fide description for immediate con sumption. A strong evidence of this has been the readi ness with which buyers, in most branches of business, have discounted their purchases, instead of giving ac ceptances, as usual, and which has been one of the best ascertained causes for the recent scarcity of bills. AIARINE MONSTER.—An exceedingly large and fine specimen of "sea-devil" was taken lately at Tran mere. A working man on the beach observed it first, and, on approaching it with several others as it lay half immersed in the receding tide, it made towards him in a savage manner, but was disabled by the blow of a boat hook. One of the men put his spade into its open mouth, which it seized, and h e ld w ith suc h tenacity as to admit of its being drawn ashore by the shaft of the im plement. Its head is about three feet four inches in . breadth, and four feet eight i nc h as i n l engt h. Its mo nth is of a semicircular shape, about a f oo t i n l eng th, an d i s armed with triple rows of sharp teeth. The cavity of the mouth Is large enough to contain, at least, two gallons o f water. On the top of the head was a row of horns, and the eyes, which were of a very luminous nature, projected an inch and a half. It bad two pairs of powerful fins, two at the side and two underneath. Its body was about two feet six inches in length, and only about six inches in breadth. A more hideous looking monster it is scarcely posible to conceive.—Liverpool BAIL COURT, .Nov. 19. EXPARTE TAN DOYEN. Mr. LUSH moved for a writ f habeas corpus to bring up the body of James Van Boven, now in the custody of the Keeper of the House of Correction of the borough of Great Grimsby, for an alleged offence against the Act Bth and 9th Victoria, framed for the protection of the revenue. The grounds upon which he moved were, that the warrant of committal was bad and erroneous on the face of it, as it set forth no jurisdiction on the part of the justices ; secondly, it :lowed no offence committed ; and, thirdly, that there was no jurisdiction on the part of the magistrates. By the 50th section of the Act it was enacted that every person not being a subject of her Majesty, who should be discovered on board of any boat having tobacco, spirits, or snuff on board within one league of the coast of England, should be liable, on con viction, to six months' imprisonment. The 95th section enacted also, that any offence committed under this Act on the high seas should be deemed to have been com mitted at the place at which the party in custody should first land. The person in the present case was a foreigner, and was found on board a vessel, which had en board goods which rendered it liable Albion,. A curious exhibition of eccentricity was made on Sunday under the portico of the church of St Eustache towards the Hanes. Between eleven and twelve o'clock, during the performance of high mass, an old woman arrived from the country with an enormous bundle of clothes and r h'r arm, and, pacing herself in an obscure corner, open. d it, and dressed herself in white with a tinsel coroi.et on her head. Remarks being made to her as r:3 the strange place she had chosen for her dressing room, she replied that it was in performance of a vow she had made to the Blessed Virgin. When she had corn plett d her toilet, she made another bundle of the clothes that she came in, deposited it at the post of the Muni cipal Guards, at the Pointe St. Eustache, and then went to fulfil her vow.— Galignanis Messenger. not,iwetoAhr ie an y la OUNG GIANT.--If old Frederick of Prussia could but visit thi, terrestrial globe, he would, we doubt and end eavour v hs o el u a r d t slateo whose kci t d m n r a nr p iaem a s certainname iiss jonolhyny fifteeno Harrison,u th i n ye i a i i r and nboydf whoalgree yet he weighs thirte a6 ei er stae a , r zn a d n. stands six feet two Inches high l—Lanc COURT OF BANKRUPTCY; Nov. 19. (Before M r . C om missioner FONDL AN Q UE. ) IN RE THE FORTH MARINE INSURANCE SOCIETY. To-day was appointed for an audit under this estate, and proof of debts. The business generally was im portant. A question, however, was raised on insurance of a vessel, which had been lost, and on a claim being made on the directors and not being settled, an action was brought. The directors had paid into Court two thirds of the amount agreed on by their agent as the loss, and it was contended that they were entitled to re tain one-third if the ship was not a British built vessel and more than 18 months old, as the owners got new for old materials. The vessel was built at New Brunswick. Claimants had not, however, proceeded to get the assess ment of a jury, and it was contended that they could not now prove for the full amount - . Mr. ELLIS, on behalf of the shareholders, said the question was one of importance, as there were many other cases of a similar kind, and it would not be fair to call on him to state the nature of defence. The Attorney for the claimants said that they were willing to forego the action, and prove for the amount, as adjusted by the agent of the company. Mr. ELLis objected that the shareholders were entitled to have a proper assessment, as they might have to pay on the case going to Chancery for a distribution and as sessment of the amounts to be paid by them. It was then suggested that a special case should be prepared for the Learned Commissioner's judgment, which was to be binding. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that would be of little use, unless a case could be so drawn as to embrace the whole. To ask him to decide now whether the proof was admissible or not, was asking him to do without pleadings before him, what would occupy a length of time of a judge at nisi prius, a special jury, And the bar. It was true that THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 20, 1846. sometimes this Court did something like make an assessment, but in this case no decision satisfactory to the whole body could be well come to with( n 4 he inter vention of a jury. Ile thought that a claim should be admitted for the amount, so that on the return to the Court of Chancery it might be taken into consideration in calculating the assessment on the shareholders. It was ultimately arranged that the claim should stand for six months, in order that the case might be tried at law. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 19. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) There was an unusually great number of cases in the list this morning, but the majority were on bills of ex change and tor goe ds sold, and were undefended. called in, and after considerable resistance the prisoner was taken into custody. A policeman of the M division stated that when he took the prisoner into custody he had the seal and key in his hand, but denied his intention of stealing them. Several of his companions were present, and one of them assaulted him in endeavouring to rescue the pri soner from custody. The prisoner in his defence said he was first assaulted by some persons in complainant's house, and while he was remonstrating with the party Mr. Goss came a:.l turned him out. He denied any intention of stealing the gold key and seal, which must have come into his possession while struggling with him. Mr. SECKER said publicans must he protectel in their bu.iness from such ruffians as ;he prisoner. He should, under all the circumstances, fire him 20s. for the assault, or fourteen days' imprisonment.. and order him to find bail for his future good behaviour ; that he might con sider himself lucky he was not committed for trial. Henry Bryant, one of the prisoner's companions, was charged with attempting to rescue him from the custody of an officer. The prisoner had on several occasions figurrd before the bench at Union Hall, and at one time made his escape from the cells at the rear in a very in genious manner, and was not discovered for several months. On the present occasion he was very violent, and endeavoured to rescue Flinn, but other constables coming up at the time secured him. He was fined 205., or fourteen days' imprisonment.

Of the fact there is, we apprehend, no doubt; but it has been followed up by consequences little ap prehended at the time. Informations, it would seem, have been lodged against the Duchess for !hootinc , with out a license.

The plaintiff in this action is a tailor, and the de fendant Mr. C. Mathews, the well knov,ii pertUrtner. The claim was for 401. on a dishonoured promissor) note, and 111. en an I 0 U, with 2/. for goods sold. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default. Witnesses were called, who proved the handwriting of the defendant, and the delivery of the goods. The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the amount claimed. JITI.I.IEN AND ANOIIIER V. BULKLEY. The plaintiff in this action is the well-known conductor of the musical promenade concerts, and the defendant is a captain in the army. The action was brought to re cover the sum of 111. 2s. 6d. for the hire of boxes at her Mijesty's Theatre and at Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. James Bennett was called, and proved that the defendant went to the plaintiff's shop and engaged a box at the Opera, for which he agreed to pay 91. 95., and a box at Covent•gaiden Theatre at IL Ils. 6d., with a book, 25., amounting together to the sum claimed. The UNDER SHERIFF said if the defendant agreed to the amount of charges, no question could arise. The jury accordingly gave a verdict for the plaintiff. WEST V. SWEENEY. This was an action to recover the sum of 51. under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the defend ant was tenant of premises in Portman-street Barrack yard, and he agreed to give up the same to the plaintiff if the landlord would grktnt a lease. A deposit of 51. was paid down, and an agreement entered into, the de fendant undertaking to return the 51. if the landlord would not accept the plaintiff as tenant, and grant a lease. The landlord was applied to, but it appeared he could not grant an unconditional lease, as, in anticipa tion of the removal of the barracks for improvements in the original lease, although it extended over thirteen years, there was a condition that if it should be required, possession was to be given up without compensation. No satisfactory lease being to be obtained, the present action was brought to recover back the deposit. The defendant did not plead to the action, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 51. In a case of no interest, Mr. Thomas, for the defendant, called for the plaintiff's books, and the attorney was looking over it, when the Under-Sheriff interfered and said that, although the counsel was privileged to do so, no other person was. The counsel could only have jus tice in view, but it was just possible that others might have other objects. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. On Wednesday Robert Randall, the driver of a cart, was brought up on a warrant, charged with assaulting Elijah West, a city tollman, at Moorgate. West stated that the defendant drove up to Moorgate, on Saturday, with a cart laden with egg chests. Witness demanded 2d. The prisoner said he had never paid toll on such goods before, and began to swear. Witness told him if he took wrong toll he was answerable to the law, and therefore the best way was to pay the money and inquire afterwards. The defendant said he should go back. Witness would not allow him to turn the horse, and said he would prevent that, for be might recover his toll three way s : either by distraining at the mo ment, by obstructing the passage, or by bringing an action at law for the money. The defendant then told witness to let go the horse's head, and he would pay him, but instead of paying the money he attempted to dash en. Witness again seized the bridle, and the defendant struck him with the butt end of the whip, with such violence as to dislocate his thumb. A friend, however, who came up, suddenly pulled the joint into its place while he was conversing with him. The defendant said the cart had only " empties," which had been brought back by the railway for nothing, and he had paid toll when they went into the country tull. There were 22 fowl coops and nine crates for shipping fowls as sea stock. He struck the collector for taking hold of his horse, which was a very high-spirited animal, and it was a wonder he had tot bitten the col lector and kicked the cart to pieces. He never shrank . from paying what he believed to be due. He was sorry immediately afterwards. West stated that as the defendant was a poor man he did not wish to be severe. Mr. Alderman MusonovE adjudged the defendant to pay ss. and the costs, which he managed to do in the course of two hours. THAMES. Mr. Peter Mellish, the vestry-clerk of the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, accompanied by the churchwardens, overseers, and other functionaries, came before Mr. Broderip to obtain summonses against various persons who endangered the public health by carrying oa nui sances in the parish. The complaint originated out of a public vestry meeting, held a few weeks ago, to consider the best means of abating the nuisances in the parish, and which followed the exposure of the carcases of dead cattle, removed in a putrid state from a screw steam-ship from Holland to the premises of Mr. Cowan, a bone mer chant and tallow-melter in New Gravel-lane, adjoining the London Dock. . _ Mr. Mellish said, the parochial officers were anxious to carry out the 9th and 10th of Victoria, cap. 96, for abating nuisances, and he held in his hand the certifi cates of two medical gentlemen, that they had examined the premises of Mr. Swinott, a dust contractor, Mr. Cowan, bone boiler, Mr. Parsons, the proprietor of a laystall, and Mr. Rumsey, a tripe dresser, and that they carried on nuisances prejudicial to the public health. Mr. BRODERIP said he would grant the summons. This was a step in the right direction, and he hoped it would be followed up by others, for the improvement of the district and the comfort and health of the people. Yesterday Thomas Hen field, a coal-dealer and green grocer in the Commercial-road East, was charged before Mr. Broderip with assaulting a lad named James Brown, a toll-collector, in the Commercial-road East. The complainant, a boy about fourteen years of age, said the defendant drove his horse and cart up Jamaica street, which is at right angles with the road, and crossed the road to the opposite side of the way, where he took up a chest in his cart. On being asked for the toll, sixpence, or the ticket of the day, the defendant said he would not pay any toll, and attempted to drive on. Witness held his horse, and the prisoner then struck him a violent blow on the mouth, cut his lips, and caused him to bleed profusely ; threw him down, and after falling upon him, forced his knees into his breast, and put him in great pain. He tried to rise, but the de fendant would not let him, and seized hold of his necker chief, and twisted it until he could scarcely breathe. The defendant also put his foot on the top of his throat, and cut him across the hand with his whip. He was very seriously injured, and he really believed he should have been ridden over and killed but for the interference of the bystanders. His statement was cor roborated by two of them. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said the lad was holding on by the horse's reins, and that when he put his foot upon his neck it was to prevent the horse treading upon him. He called a witness. named Greenwood, who said the boy was not struck intentionally. The defen dant added that an important question was involved, whether he was liable to pay the toll, which he contended was illegally demanded. Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, said the defendant hal no right to assault the boy. If he considered the toll illegal, he might have paid it and summoned the boy, and in that way have tried the question. The defendant observed, that the tolls on the road were most exorbitant, and he considered he had a right to resist the demand of 6d. He only crossed the road from Jamaica-street, neither swerving to the right or left. Be was always given to understand that on every trust in the metropolis he might drive his horse and cart 100 yards without being subject to toll; but the boy ran from a side bar, where there was no turnpike-gate or table of tolls, and demanded 6d. of him. Dempsy, a police-constable, No. 247 K, believed the distance was not more than 60 or 65 yards. Mr. Symons thought, in that case, the defendant would not be liable to the toll. Mr. BRODERIP said that, prima facie, the case of as sault was made out, and it was a must violent one. He would give the defendant an opportunity of raising the question at the sessions. He held him to bail, :himself in 331., and two sureties in 151. each. ESTMINSTER. Anne Thomas, a dirty, dissipated-looking woman, was finally examined, charged with stabbing Esther M`Cave with a table-knife. Prosecutrix stated that she entered the Castle public house, Great Ct:apel•street, Westminster, on Sunday evening, and was advancing to the counter to get some refreshment, when the prisoner, without any provoca tion, struck her a violent blow in the lace. She inquired what she did that for ? when prisoner suddenly raised her hand and stabbed her with a table -knife in the left cheek. Prosecutrix and prisoner both fell on the ground, when the latter made several other thrusts at her with the knife, and wounded her slightly in the arm. Pri soner was secured by those around, and prosecutrix con veyed to the Westminster Hospital. Prisoner was heard to say, a short time before prosecutrix entered the public hcuse, that she would stick the first person who came in. A witness proved that the prisoner took the knife from her bosom and inflicted the wounds as described. Prisoner, who had been drinking very freely, endea voured to escape. Mr. F. Wildbore, house surgeon, Westminster Hos pital, proved that there was a superficial incised wound, an inch and a half long, on the left cheek, near the ear, which he dressed. There was also a slight wound on the arm. Prisoner implcred forgiveness, and the prosecutrix oined in the entreaty. Mr. BURRELL observed that it was a very serious offence, and it was his duty to send it for trial at the Central Criminal Court. SOUTHWARK. A tall, powerful-looking man, named John Flynn, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with creating a disturbance in the Feathers public-house. Stoney-street, Borouuh, and stealing a gold seal and key from Mr. Henry Goss, the landlord. It appeared from the evidence of the latter, that the prisoner entered his house the previous evening in a state suppliedof intoxication, and demanded to be w ith li quor. He was refused, and requested to leave the house, when he became very turbulent, and used disgust ing language. The complainant then endeavoured to get him from the house, when the prisoner snatched the seal and key from his watch-guard. The police were then
