He said he associated with the most respectable men in Cork, and, if report were true, the most respectable men in the city had made their fortunes by smuggling. An officer in the Customs proved the arrest of the defendant in a street near Charing-cross, when he said he was too honourable a man to deny that he had been en ' gaged in this smuggling transaction. There was some in formality in the bail bonds, and defendant offered after wards, upon its being discovered, to renew them. Mr. JERVIS submitted that the case should be stopped, on the ground of a wrong venue being laid. The in formation charged that defendant was concerned in the unshipping of certain contraband goods, which came to his bands and possession. The shipment took place at New castle, in this kingdom.

" In consequence of the proceedings of the last Convention in Michigan, and the views expressed concerning them by the President of the United States in his recent Message, com municating those proceedings to Congress, together with the provisions of the Bill now pending in our house on this ques tion, the department has supposed her situation so far changed since Novembe. as to justify the assignment to her of a share of the public deposits, subject, however, to the future decision of Congress upon the propriety of this step: " The payment of the share assigned to Michigan will, therefore, be postponed till sonic expression of opinion shall be given by Congress, which may sanction its being made to her in the same manner as to the other States, in addition to the sums which have already been apportioned to them.

Many more have been attacked by it during this week, but the greater number are now in a progressive state of convales , cence. That. it is produced by gaseous or miasmatic effluvia suspended in the atmosphere, nut a doubt can be entertained, and a medical gentleman has even suggested that a vessel of the air now encompassing us might be preserved for a future day, for analysis, or for experimenting with on the lungs in a more healthy season. The deadly effect which this epidemic has upon the constitution carries off those seized with it with a rapidity hardly credible, and far exceeding what was expe rienced in the cholera. In respect to its treatment, like that opprobrium medicorum gout, the endeavours of medical men have been latterly directed to palliate rather than to cure, for they now find that, when once established, it will run through its proper course, despite of every attempt to stop it.

On the whole, if the prices abroad of our great staple products do not materially decline there is no reason to apprehend any further interruption to our commercial pros perity." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 4. VERNON V. VERNON. This was an appeal from an order of the Master of the Rolls, allowing a general demurrer to the plaintiff's bill. The hill prayed an injunction to restrain Messrs. Fraser and Alexander,.merchants in London, from receiving a sum granted as compensation for slaves on an estate in the island of St. Vincent, on the ground that these slaves had been fraudulently removed from an estate in the island of Antigua, of which estate the plaintiff alleged himself to be heir in tail on the death of his father, one of the defendants. The charge was that, the estate being let for different terms of years since 1785 to a person named Cassamajor, he, in violation of the terms of the lease, and without the know ledge of the plaintiff or his family, removed forty-nine of the slaves to another estate of his own in the same island, and subsequently sold them to a person named Punnet, who removed them to St, Vincent, and that the Messrs. Fraser, as mortgagees of the estate of Punnet, were now about to receive the money allowed for them under the Slave Com pensation Act. Sir W. HORNE, for the defendant, in opposition to the appeal, contended that the averments in the bill were tho roughly contradictory of each other, and, therefore, fully justified the propriety of the decision of the Master of the Rolls, in allowing a general demurrer. The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the Master of the Rolls was right, that the demand must be allowed, and that the appeal must be dismissed with costs. Mr. WIGRASI applied for leave to amend the bill. , His Lordship gave leave. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FED. 4. PHILLIPS V. PHIPPS. Mr. KNOWLES stated that this was an action on a bill of exchange for the sum of 731. I3s. This bill had been in dorsed by the defendant to the plaintiff, who discounted it for him. The plaintiff was an ironmonger, living in the neighbourhood, and the defendant was an upholsterer. In November, 1835, the defendant purchased a quantity of nails of the plaintiff, the price of which amounted to 3/. 35.; and a few days afterwards the defendant applied to the plaintiff to discount for him the bill in question. The plaintiff consented to do this, upon condition of having the debt of 31. 3s. for nails paid at the same time. The ar rangement was made and the bill discounted. The bill was dishonoured, and . the defendant now pleaded, first, that there had been no notice - of the dishonour of the bill ; and, secondly, that the plaintiff had been guilty of usury in the transaction. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff on both the issues. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEa. 4. BOWMAN V. WILLIS. The action 'in this case was brought to recover the pro ceeds of a borso belonging to the stud of the late Dr. Wil lis, of Greatford, Lincolnshire, which had been sold at Tat tersall's. The plaintiff, who resided at Greatford, was on terms of great intimacy with Dr. Willis and his family. Dr. Willis died suddenly in September, 1835, and the defendant was his nephew. In the'spring of 1834 the Plaintiff had in his possession a bay gelding by Haphazard, and Dr. Willis being pleased with it, and wishing to purchase it, it was sent to his stables. After a trial, however, Dr. Willis said that the gelding was apt to shy and rough in its action, but said that he would turn it out to grass and to it again. rite gelding was accordingly turned' out to grass. and its tail was cut in uniformity with the other horses of Dr. Willis. In the course of the winter the gelding was hunted, and it remained in Dr. Willis's possession up to the period of his death, and was sold at Tattersall's, in the defendant's name, along with the other horses left him by his uncle. The plaintiff now claimed the sum for which the gelding had been sold, together with certain expenses, in the whole amounting to 102/. 16s. Gd. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 102/. 16s. Gd. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FED. 4. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. W. KRNNEFECK. This was an information under the 6th Geo. IV., cap. 68, filed at the suit of the Attorney-General against the defendant, for smugglin g from Newcastle into th e p or t o f Cork 200 b a l es o f tobacco, at 81. 10s. per bale. The penalties- were laid at over 7,0001., being three times the amount of the market price. In 1831 and 183:2 the defendant, in connection with one Dennis Richard Moylan (who is the principal witness for the Crown in these prosecutions), and other parties, planned a contraband traffic in tobacco, which, however, did not take place till the 10th of June, 1833; when, the bales of tobacco in question were shipped on board a collier at Newcastle, and arrived in Cork on or after the 19th of July, 1833, as contended for by the Crown. The principal witness for the Crown, Moylan, who was himself one of the parties implicated, detailed the particulars. Mr. JERVIs, for the defendant, cross-examined him, with a view to impeaCh his credit. He stated that his first smuggling trtingaction took place in 1805 or 160 G, with INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEB. 4. IN RE JOHN 'WHITEHEAD. This matter, which had been before the Court for some time, was now finally determined. The question raised was relative to the distribution of future acquired property. The insolvent, who is in his 72d year, was discharged under the Act in 1820, and, about twelve months since, his bro ther, Robert Whitehead, had died intestate ;- his property had been divided, and the insolvent's share amounted to 380/. The assignees had exerted themselves, and the Court were called upon to apportion that sum. The Learned Commissioners were of opinion that 1751. should be paid to the creditors, leaving the residue for the insolvent. That sum would pay them, after the expenses, about seven shillings in the pound. Mr. COOKE remarked that this man was discharged seventeen years ago, and the case appeared a hopeless one ; but now the creditors would be paid a good dividend. Mr. WOODROFFE was instructed in a case, in which cre ditors under three schedules would be paid in full out of future acquired property, and yet the public were ignorant of the benefits to be derived under the estates of insolvents. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. CHARGE or MURDER.—Jonathan Bailey, aged 47, was indicted for the murder of Ann, his wife. It appeared from the evidence of Ann Cross, who lived at No. 27, Thomas-street, Grosvenor-square, in which the prisoner and his wife resided, and also that of the surgeon, that the prisoner came home intoxicated on the 10th of December (as was usual with him), and quarrelled with his wife. Shortly after a scuffle was heard, and then all was quiet. The next morning the deceased was observed to have a considerable swelling on her forehead, and she complained of much pain. The deceased, however, re sumed her domestic duties until Christmas eve, when she became so ill as to be obliged to keep her bed. On the 4th of January she appeared particularly impressed with the idea that she could not survive, and begged Mr. Berry, a surgeon, not to allow her husband to come into the room, that she might die in peace. She also stated, in answer to questions, that her husband had struck her, and that she had been in pain ever since. She died on the Gth of the month. The Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. Robert and John Stapleton, both aged 19, and Afary Caney, 18, were indicted for unlawfully possessing moulds calculated for the making of counterfeit money. The pri soners were apprehended in a room in St. Giles's by the Bow-street officers, with all the implements usually employed to make base coin in their possession, the process of coin ing being apparently going on. The prisoners were found Guilty. NEW COURT. Thomas Thurling, and John, his brother, were indicted for stealing a chest, containing 831bs. of tea, value 161., and upwards, the property of the Very Reverend the Dean of 'Windsor, to whom it was directed ; and another count charged the property as belonging to Mr. Hill, to whom it was entrusted for the time being. And Mary Ann Bugg, a respectable-looking widow, was indicted for receiving the said tea, well knowing it to have been stolen. Evidence went to implicate the two male prisoners in the theft ; and the Jury found them Guilty, but acquitted the female prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A very sedate-looking undertaker's man, named John Rawlins, who had a patch over his eye, was charged with having violently assaulted Charles Bandock, an Eating house-keeper, in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street. The complainant said the defendant and two other men in the " black job" trade, called at his shop and asked for some soup on the preceding night. As ho was not in the habit of preparing such beverage for night customers, he said he could not accommodate them with anything hot, but they might have cold meat if they pleased, to which they replied that they had had enough to do with " cold meat" all day, and would go to some respectable shop, where they should be able to make a meal without being reminded of what they had been depositing under ground. The com plainant considered this hint a reflection upon a fine piece of cold roast pork which lay on the counter, and told them to leave his house. The defendant, upon' bearing this com mand, turned upon him like a lion, accused him of having raked up some of the ground on which so much profes sional business had been lately done for the accommodation of his customers, and struck him right and left. For this compound offence the complainant lodged the defendant in the watch-house, and appeared against 'him this day. The defendant assured the Lord Mayor that the occur rence was qnite the reverse of that stated by the complainant. A witness stated that on the defendant hinting he could get anything at another house, the complainant said, " Get out of my house, you death-hunting ve-gabonds."—(Laughter.) The Loan MAYOR.—WeII, what followed ?—Witness. —Why, we didn't like such a name after the hardwork of the day, and we looked at the meat as if we had seen it be fore in a very different shape.—(Great laughter.) The LORD Mavoa.—But what. did you say ?—Witness. —I believe some one said that prayers had been said over it the day before.—( Loud laughter.) The LORD MAYOR said he should have nothing to do with the complaint. Defendant.—My Lord, aro we to have no satisfaction for being called death-hunters ?—The LORD MAYOR.—No more than he is to have for being called a death-roaster. — (Laughter.) SPRING ASSIZES, 1837.

The Hercules, 7-1, Captain Berkeley, M.P., sailed on Sunday for Sheerness, to refit ; the Cracker cutter, on Tuesday, and the Emerald tender, on Thursday, for Ply mouth. The Buzzard was at Sierra Leone on the 17th of De cember, having captured within the month the Olympia, Spanish schooner, with 287 slaves, and the Lizza, a small vessel, with only 22 slaves on board, making 3,864 slaves relieved by this vessel since she has been on the station. 'The Wolverine, 16, Honourable Commander Howard, arrived at Gibraltar in eleven days from Plymouth, on the 17th ult. His Majesty's ship Ariadne, under the charge of Mr. Henderson, Master; of the Victory, and manned with part of the crew of the Fairy and Mastiff surveying vessels, and marines from the Britannia, is waiting a wind to proceed to Scotland for coals, and is then to return here and proceed to Alexandria, as a coal depot. The ship Fort William, from Madras, Oct. 18, passed by for the river last night ; Lieutenant-General Sir It. W. O'Callaghan, K C. 8., late Commander-in-Chief at Ma dras, is passenger in her, and landed here, having been re lieved by Lieutenant-General Sir P. Maitland.

On Wednesday the gun-room mess (midshipmen) of the Britannia gave a farewell dinner to their late excellent and respected First Lieutenant, Captain Watkins, whose well merited promotion is the cause of the separation ; when the ward-room Officers, his mess-mates in the Victory and Britannia, were invited to meet him. Few men have been so many years filling such a responsible situation, and given such universal satisfaction to his superiors, as well as to his subordinates, as Captain Watkins. He started for Ply mouth in the Emerald, on the following morning, to join the Cornwallis, to which ship he is appointed ; and, we feel assured, that he has quitted one post in which he was esteemed and looked up to only in a new situation, to add additional value to the creditable estimation in which he is held in the service. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 2.—The Partridge, 10, Lieutenant ' Bisson, sailed on Saturday for Falmouth, and the Nightin gale packet, Lieut. Fortescue, arrived from Falmouth on the same day.

The Sappho, 16, wit? e launched from this (Lek-yard to-morrow. The Gibraltar Chronicle, of la . .ary 11, contains the following. The late storm seems t. ~.- ye raged in Malaga with n;less, or perhaps even with i7.-: #. ter violence than Gibraltar. Our three men-of-war ItOsthat harb our arc , stated, in a letter o f th e 31st ult., to pave escaped by a miracle. The following are the particulars, as communi cated by the writer : " On Sunday night a severe gale set in, which increased towards the morning to such a degree, that the Tyne tore up the ring on the pier by which she was riding, and surged over to the other side of the harbour, until she was brought up by her own anchors. The Orestes broke from her sheet anchor and drifted into the rollers, which were running in most furiously, and she was only saved by the instantaneous decision of her commander, Newell, who had her masts cut away, without hurt to any one on board. The Jaseur drove up the harbour, having parted a cable. Thus were the vessf...ls situated, when the day broke. Before nine o'clock the Orestes had succeeded in cutting her masts away—the only way to save her. The Jascur had thrown six of her guns overboard (since recovered), and started all her water ; and the Tyne, which had been thumping nearly the whole day, knocked away her rudder ;- no fewer than four vessels had been clashed to shivers within a few yards of her. Under the direction of the Consul (Mr. Mark) and his two sons, who, from day-break till sun set, were up to their knees in water, and very much ex posed, as the tiles of the houses, and all moveable things were blown about by the high wind, every possible exertion was made to render assistance. Cables were got on board the Jaseur, by which she rode. She has since resumed her station at Gibraltar. It was repeatedly at tempted to reach the Tyne with a hawser to bring her cable on shore again ; but the distance was so great, and the weather so tempestuous, that it could not be accom plished till near four in the afternoon. An attempt was also made to remove the crew of the Orestes before night ; but it proved impossible, as the means employed during the clay were literally worn out, and the work, the rain, the cold, and the fear had so jaded the labourers, that had any thing depended on the most trailg exertion, that exertion would have been wanting. Towards night the rain increased and the storm diminished. The Orestes had no remedy but to ride out where she was for the night, and about four o'clock in the morning she knocked her rudder off. On that morning the gale so far abated that nll the ships were warped into safe berths, without having lost a single man. The people were also saved from the vessels which were wrecked. The only loss the Tyne knew of, at first, was that of her rudder ; but in sweeping for the rudder of the Orestes she fished,up forty feet of her own main keel and dead wood abaft. It was not known where she would go to be repaired ; but it is not unlikely she will be cleared out and sold. A woman was taken up in Dublin for a robbery to the amount of 3201. She succeeded in swallowing three of the notes, two fur 100/. each, and one for 201. The remaining note was fortunately, and by fore , , ejected from be.- jaws. On Tuesday last, whilst the carpenters employed in the repairs of the Sarah were making preparations for her launch f;om the patent slip at this port ( Whitehaven) the ves sel suddenly moved off several hours before the time the cere mony was intended to take place, and dashed along at a most tremeJ2us rate to the foot of the ways, breaking to atoms in her career ;he massive iron r ates between the yard and the graving bank. Fortunately it was nearly low water at the time, and no vessels hafpened to be lying in her course, other wise the consequeuces might have been of a serious nature, but with the exception of demolishing the gates no damage whatever was sustained. The cradle was not secured by the chain to the machinery at the head of the yard. and by some -oversight the poles were not down, or, if they were, had not tiken effect, and hence the unlooked-for launch.—Cantber latid Pacquet. HYDRoPnoBIA.—It has now been clearly aseer tained by the ablest veterinary practitioners and plvietans on the Continent, that, out of 100 cases of reputed hydrophobia, scarcely one is a true case, the rest belonging to a alarm whichmalady by . li no means dangerous or contagious. foolis causes people hastily to destroy, instead .of tying the dog in fected up, to ascertain the result, has instead prevented the real nature of the cases from being known. Fear and the in cautious reports in the newspapers have also much contributed to spread the disease, by means of the powerful operation of the mind over the body. In certain States in Germany news papers are forbid to report cases of canine madness, arid other violent diseases, on this account. It is known that in Prussia a false cry of " mad dog . ' is often set up by Magistrates in the game countries, in order to induce the poor to destroy their dogs. Of this abuse they should be aware, in other coun tries besides Prussia. We have the same thing done in Eng land. Terence Blake, one of the last sur;iving sufferers by the late dreadful cNplc;sion of gunpowder, died last week in the Ciiy 1,114111m.y.
