in consequence, I hope, and believe, a general moral im provement—that many hours which otherwise would have been passed in folly, perhaps in vice, will be em ployed either in pleasures which not only are harmless, but have a positive tendency to elevate the cha racter. Our own experience leads us to think this. My own observation in various parts of the world, and among various classes of men, leads me to hold this opition strongly. I have, as you may know, had occa sion officially to form some notion of what those causes are which affect the moral and intellectual character of regiments, and I will venture to say there is no that ex perienced and judicious o ffi cer who will not tell y ou the whole character of a body of young offi cers may be. most materially affected for the better by the a valuable merecir cumstance of being placed in the vic library.—(Cheers.) I can myselt gi ni ve t ins o f tances which have fallen within my own knowledge of this fact. I was myself told by a most accomplished man —a man who was an eminent soldier , an em in ent diplomatist, who enjoyed the confidence of the first generals and s tatesmen Europe has produced in our own time—when I asked him to what he owed those accompl ishments, he said this—" When I served as a young man i n I n di a , and when it was the turning point of my life—when it was an even chance that I should be a card playing, hookah-smoking, punch-drinking lounger—l was quar tered for two years in the neighbourhood of an excel lent library which was made accessible to me."— (Cheers.) Some objections which have been urged to the specie s of mental cu lti vat i on w hi c h we t rust t hi s institution will afford have been so happily and satisfac torily disposed of by my esteemed friend the Lord Provost, and my most reverend friend the Archbishop of Dublin, that to these I should think it very super fluous to advert. There is, indeed, a topic which has often, and sometimes by men of eminence, been urged against this and simiar institutions, which I may beg your permission to notice. Their dread is of superficial knowledge. They say, " Knowledge is undoubtedly a great blessing to mankind ; it is closely connected with virtue ; it is an indispensable preparative for freedom, but then it must be profound knowledge. A reading public, a crowd of people who have a little mathematics, a little astronomy, a little chemistry, a little reading of poetry, a little history, is dangerous to states ; such a species of half knowledge is worse than ignorance itself. Drink deep, or taste not ; shallow draughts intoxicate ; drink largely—that will sober you," repeating the well known lines of the poet. I must confess this danger never appeared to me very threatening, and for this reason, chiefly that I never could prevail on any one of those persons who enter tained such apprehensions to let me know what was his standard of profundity.—(Cheers.) The argument pre supposes that there is some line between profound know ledge and superficial knowledge, similar to the one which runs between truth and falsehood. I know of no such line. What is the standard of profundity ? When we say that a man is deep in science, do we mean that he has got to the bottom of it, or near to the &ottom of it ? When we talk of deep and shallow, are we comparing human knowledge with the vast mass of truth which is capable of being known, and which, probably, in the course of ages, human minds actually will attain ? If that be the meaning, then we are all shallow together— (Cheers)—and the greatest men who have ever lived would be the very first to confess their shallowness.— (Cheers.) If we could call up the greatest of all human beings, if we could call up and ask Sir Isaac Newton whether, even in those particular pur suits in which he attained the highest excel lence, he considered himself as profoundly knowing by comparison with the mass of that which is capable of being known, he would have told you that he was a smatterer like yourselves, and that the difference between him and you was nearly vanished when compared with the difference between the mass of science, just as the distance between a person standing on the level of the sea and a person standing on the top of Ben Lomond utterly vanishes when they are making observations on the fixed stars.—(Cheers.) But if this is not the standard, what is the standard? Is it the same, in all ages? Was it ever the same for a genera tion together? Is it the same in any two countries? Is it not notorious that the profundity of one country is the shallowness of another—that the profundity of one gene ration is the shallowness of the next? What would now be the profound chemist of 1746—what the profound geologist of 1746? There is a natural, a necessary pro gress, in every experimental science, of such a nature that in one generation the hind rank occupies the same place which the fore rank occupied in a former genera tion. It is the same with countries. The same know ledge which entitled Ramohun Roy to be called the most profound of the Hindoos, would have made, permit me to say, but a very superficial member of this institution.— (Cheers.) The very knowledge of geography which en titled Strabo to be called a profound geographer, would be considered the shallowest ignerance on the part of a girl from a boarding-school. The truth is, a change takes a place, as in Gulliver's wanderings. The first is shipwrecked in the country of little men, of only six inches high. Immediately he is a colossus among them ; he strides over the walls of the capital ; he stands higher than the temple ; he stretches his legs, and whole armies march in columns between ; he devours for breakfast a whole granary of corn and a whole herd of cattle. Bu' in a little while he finds himself in the country of giants; then he who in Lilliput took the people up in his hand to hear them speak, is himself taken up in the hand by one of his masters ; and now, was Gulliver a tall or a short man?—(A laugh) Why, truly at his own house I be bey° he would have passed for neither one nor the other. At Lilliput he was man-mountain ; but move him to Brobdigtiag and be is Gulliver, the little manikin again.—(Cheers and laughter.) The intellectual giants of one age become the intellectual pigmies of the next; and if those effects which are said to flow from shallow knowledge really flow from it, it must have been one of the very greatest of all evils, that, in the thirteenth century, fir example, there should have been such a thing as a profoundly learned man. It strikes me that you might, without much difficulty, make a parallel be tween the most profoundly learned man of the thirteenth century and one of those who, we hope, will pass their evenings in our library, which would - not be altogether to the advantage of the profound, and might lead us, per haps, to change the names of profundity and shallow ness. Try the parallel in one or two points. Take Hur great learned man of 600 years ago (at th e ti me o f enry 111., or Alexander 111. of Scotland), some one considered first in intellectual attainments, first in science, first in literature in the whole island, and let us see to what his attainments amount. Take him in the two sciences which were then, as ever, studied with care, assiduity, and which were munificently patronised in the middle ages let us take him as an astronomer and a chemist. A firm believer in the Ptolemaic system, one who never heard of the law of gravitation—tell him that the succession of night and day is produced by the revolution of the earth on its axis—tell him that the polar diameter of the earth is shorter than the equatorial, and if he does no:. set you down as an idiot the probability is he will repot you to the bishop to be burnt as a heretic.—(Cheers ) But if not perfectly informed on the points, there are others in which undoubtedly he has made great profl cleney—he can casta nativity for you.—(A laugh.) He knows perfectly well what is meant by Saturn being in the horse of light ; and what events are portended by M trs being in conjunction with the dragon's tail ; and he can tell by these events which of your children will be fortunate in marriage and which of them will be lost at sea.—(A. laugh.) Now, compare this man with one of your shallow persons, whose exceedingly superficial knowledge is so dangerous to their moral and intellectual character. I doubt not that in our library will be found at least one copy of Sir J. Herschel's beautiful volume on astronomy ; a very few evenings passed in the perusal of th a t vo l ume w i ll not indee d enable our friends to cast th e nat i v i t i es of their children , but will give them, I beli eve , a f ar more correct and a far ' more profound notion of the solar system ; and of the laws that govern the heavenly bodies than the greatest astro nomer of the 14th century possessed.—(Cheers.) Or take chemistry ; our great man—for we will suppose him a great man ; we will suppose him to be a uni versal genius—our great man of the 13th century is a great chemist. Be has perhaps got just so far— the very pillars of Hercules of his chemical know ledge—he has got so far as to know, that if you mix charcoal and saltpetre together in certain propor tions, and rut fire to them, a great explosion will take place. But of the possibility of applying these powers to make a revolution in the art of war, in fortification, to perform any scientific operations, he has no concep tion. There are things with which he busies himself perhaps beyond the reach of modern chemists. He is in full chase after the philosopher's stone.—(Laughter.) He has an array of furna c e s with sa ltp etre an d re d an d white oil burning night and day, and he entertains the firm conviction that by means of these stews he will some morning turn all his pots and pans into gold.— (Laughter.) Now, suppose—l heartily hope it will be the case —suppose th at P ro f essor Faraday comes here and gives at your lect ure - room t h e l ectures I heard him give to the little children during the Christmas holidays at the Royal Institution; I cannot promise you he will teach you to turn your halfpence into sovereigns, but I do promise that you will carry away from those lectures a very much more correct and profound knowledge of chemistry than a chemist who could have been consi dered deserving the patronage of kings could possibly have given with years of study in the 13th century (Cheers.) So it was in science; but when we turn to literature is it not much the same? With respect to li terary knowledge—with respect to knowledge of great masterpieces in composition—compere the position of our supposed learned man of the 13th century and that in which the superficial student in the library of this in stitution will be placed. As to Greek, they are on a par—for neither the one nor the other would possess any; and with respect to the vernacular, no great writer had yet appeared. The only literature of such a man was Latin. He might have had a great many manuscripts. Suppose his library well furnished, with some 40 Latin manuscripts —suppose he has a considerable portion of really the best books in the Latin lan guage, the best specimens of that literature, and I say with perfect confidence that hi s o pp or t un i t i es o f en larging hi s mind, his means of literary enjoyment are not to be named with those you possess in the English language. Such a man cou ld f orm no notion of tragedy _ and no had spere, idea o f comedy as you can from Shak -he no epic poem within reach of " Paradise Lost;" and as for all his dialects, one passage cf the " Novurn Organum" would be w ort h it all.—(Ch eers . ) O ne of the great advantages wh ich those possess who, though they are ignorant of gouthaegretozubes, are well acquainted with the English lan good English library at their command, is this, that t o great extent it is in their power to enjoy, in an imper fect man ner, . but still to enjoy, the great production s o f minds of other great variety of times and other nations. We have t e translationsa translations. It is scarcely possiblae should completely attain to the excellenacte ginal; but it is not th e l ess true, that as to t t i l s ' e e or - 1- m features of every great wor k— the conception of charataca ter, the general plan and outli ne — a very l arge portion may be preserved. Such works will give to the English reader a notion of the great compositions of other times and of other countries; such a notion as a person who has never been able to travel to Italy may have of the Raphaels in the Vatican from a valuable collection of engravings.—(Cheers.) There is no translation so bad as that some part of the genius of Homer, some part of the genius of Cervantes, does not shine through it. Tnus we conceive that a literary person, possessing only the English language, may, through the means of Eng lish versions, enlarge his mind by attaining no small de gree of knowledge of the style, the manner, the views of the great men of other ages and countries.—(Loud cheers.) Let me not be misunderstood as in the smallest degree to deprecate the study of the ancient or modern languages of Europe. Far from it. I would advise no man who lias leisure and opportunity to be ccntent un less he can obtain several of these most valuable sources of knowledge. I would impress on every young man the saying of Charles V., who knew several foreign lan guages, that he "never learned a new language without feeling he had got a new soul."—(Cheers.) But at the same time I may be permitted to felicitate my country men not so fortunate as to have the command of leisure fur this purpose, that through the English language they may obtain means of intellectual wealth more precious than the greatest scholars in the days of Charles V., and greater than Aldus, Erasmus, or Melancthon them selves enjoyed.—(Cheers.) This brings me back to the toast I have to propose—to British literature—(Cheers) —to that literature, the proudest, the purest, the most durable of all the glories of our country—to that lite rature rich in all the treasures of truth and of fiction — to that literature which boasts of the prince of all poets, and the prince of philosophers—to that literature which has exercised on mankind a mightier influence even than that of our commerce and our arms—to that literature which has taught France the principles of liberty, and which has furnished Germany with models of art—to that literature which constitutes a tie even nearer than blood between us and the great commonwealths in the valley of the Mississippi—to that literature before the light of which impious and cruel superstition is fast taking flight on the banks of the Ganges—to that lite rature which will, in future ages, instruct and delight millions, who will then have covered with cities and with gardens the Australasian and Caifrarian de serts—to " the Literature of Britain"—and, wherever British literature spreads, may it be attended by British virtue and by British freedom. — (Great cheering.) The Rev. Mr. GUTHRIE proposed " The University of Edinburgh." Professor Thomson, M.D., "The Lord Provost, Magis trates and Council, Patrons of the University." The LORD PROVOST, " The Archbishop of Dublin," who briefly acknowledged the compliment. Dr. S. BROWN, " The Progress of Science." Mr. D. M. MOIR proposed the next toast. He said, the Vast I am about to propose is one which I am sure will be received with enthusiasm, not from anything I can say regarding it, but simply for its own sake. I repeat this with confidence, when I announce that my toast is the health of the Right Hon. Thomas B. Macaulay.—(Prolonged cheering.) When we consider the characteristic peculiarities of the Scottish people, perhaps the highest honour which Scotland could confer on any one would be the selection of that individual, on account of his genius, his talents, and his high character, to be the representative of its metropolis in the great council of the nation. For such a person did Edinburgh seek, and such a person did Edinburgh find in the dis tinguished man I have just named. In him she found combined the legislator, the orator, the historian, the critic, the philosopher, and the poet ; in him she found a man who "Had multiplied himself among mankind, The Proteus of their talents." —(Cheers.) In Mr. Macaulay's presence I dare do RO more than allude to his vast and varied attainments, to his brilliant talents, to his unwearied business habits, and to his having secured for himself a high place among the great classics of England.—(Cheers.) I shall in conclusion simply allude to one topic as being that by which Mr. Macaulay has associated himself with this institution — I mean the great cause of national education. When we consider the position of the British Isles on the map, we must be at once aware that by intellect has the su premacy of Britain among the nations been won, and by intellect alone can that supremacy be maintained. By education men have ceased to be mere " sons of the soil," mere hewers of wood and drawers of water ; by education men have felt themselves to be rational and responsible beings—creatures into whose nostrils God has breathed the breath of an immortal spirit ; by edu cation men have become jealous of their civil and their sacred rights, they have walked with features more erect, and when they trod the ground their feet hare "brought from the soil the source of liberty." It is absurd, there fore, to say that the mind can be ever over-educated, or that man can have too much light, either regarding him self—so fearfully and so wonderfully made—or of the world in which - he is placed, where, whether he examine the wild flower beneath his feet with the microscope of Loewenhoek, or the planet that sparkles in the blue canopy above him with the telescope of Lord Rosse, he can only be thereby the more convinced of his own in significance, and of the wisdom, the power, and the beneficence of Him who created all things.—(Much cheering.) Need we ask a better or stronger illustration of Mr. Macaulay's devotion to this great cause of national education than the fact of his having travelled 400 miles to be present at the opening of this institution ? I beg to propose " the Health of Mr. Macaulay." (The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.) Mr. MACAULAY, in reply, said— It would be unpar donable in me to detain you with more than a single word; and in truth the best expression of the feelings which I entertain is the briefest and the simplest. lam sure you will not dcubt the gratitude with which I have seen the manner in which the last toast so proposed has b; en received by you. I can claim no praise on the ground of having performed a journey of 400 miles for the purpose of appearing before you.—(Cheers.) I am more than repaid by the pleasure I feel in addressing an assemblage of the citizens of Edinburgh, not upon sub jects which divide wise and good men, and about which even wise and good men can seldom differ without some bitterness of feeling. Most of the occasions on which I have appeared before great assemblages of the citizens of Edinburgh have been of such a kind, and I feel to night very much more than repaid for any exertions I have made in order to be present by having the oppor• tunity of seeing so many of you actuated by one spirit, and in retiring from among you thinking that we can all congratulate each other on one commo❑ victory.

" Palace of the Government, Mexico, Sept. 19, 1846.', EXTENSIVE FIRE AT DEPTFORD.—Friday evening shortly after 7 o'clock, a very fearful fire, nearly at tended with fatal consequences to several persona, broke out in the private residence belonging to Mr. H. F. Wooster, situate opposite the Jolly Caulkers, is the Lower Deptford-road. The flames originated in the lower part of the building, at the time Mrs. Wooster was engaged putting her children to bed in one of the upper rooms. It appears, from inquiries made during the pro gress o f t h e fire, that the first intimation the in. mates received was by perceiving a dense mass of smoke entering the rooms in which they were. Upon getting upon the landing they were met by huge masses of flame rolling up the staircase, which completely cut off all means of escape by the regular way. What to do the poor creatures scarcely knew, for the house stood in the middle of a large garden, and far away from the public road. Mrs. Wooster, who was within a few weeks of her accouchement, took herthree children, and, after con siderable trouble, succeeded in jumping out of one of the windows. By that period the destructive element had travelled through nearly a dozen rooms, and in the space of five or ten minutes after the roof became ignited- The firemen, upon their arrival, found that the residence of Mr. Wooster was doomed to destruc tion, and they very judiciously directed their efforts towards saving the adjoining seed warehouse belonging to Mr. S. Brandon. In the latter they were nearly suc c,,sJul, but unfortunately the flames could not be en tirely extinguished until half-past 9 o'clock, and not be fore the house was burned down, the valuable furniture consumed, and even the wearing apparel of the residents d-stroyed ; and to add to the misfortune, Mr. Wooster as Rot insured for a single penny, and the premises were only insured for 3001. A meeting was held on Friday of the creditors of Messrs. Mackey, Holt, and Co., whose failure took place on the 4th of July last. The debts of the house were stated to be ab ou t 30,0001, and an offer was made to the meeting of a composition of ss. in the pound. This offer was declined under the belief that a sum of 9,0001. paid away by the firm shortly before their suspension, and alleged by them to have been trust property, should in reality, h ave appeared among the assets. Messrs. Mackey and Co., of Calcutta, the correspondents of the English firm, whose failure also was announced about a week ago, are understood to offer a composition of 10a. in the pound. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 7. nEmING V. SWINERTON. The arguments in this case, which were part-heard yesterday, were resumed and conciuded to-day. Tile case came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, overruling a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's bill. The facts of the case may be thus shortly stated:— The plaintiff, Mr. Dempster Fleming, being - os- , -,ssed of a mill situate in the county of Warwick, K. Aal,h, 1838, entered into an agreement with the defendant to let the mill to him for a term of seven, fourteen, or twenty-one years, at the yearly rent of 801.; and it was covenanted that in the event of the plaintiff cancelling the lease at the end of the term of seven years, the defendant was to be paid 400 L. and to be entitled to an allowance for any extraordinary disbursement on the premises during the term. The mill, it seems, had been used for carding. The defendant, however, conceiving that a more profit able return might be obtained from it, converted it into a flour mill, and erected a steam-engine as a more effi cient agent than the water power, by which it had there tofore been worked. It appears that, notwithstatniing the agreement for a lease, no lease was in point of fact executed by Mr. flaming in favour of the defendant, and in February, 1845, the defendant was compelled to file a bill to enforce a specific performance of the agree ment to grant a lease. The suit was set down for hearing before Vice-Chancellor Wigram, but on the 18th of February, 1845, the parties came to an arrange ment that the suit should be stayed, and that the mat ters in difference between the parties should be referred to a gentleman of the Chancery bar, and that tie award should be made a rule of Court. In March the award was made, by which Mr. Heming was difected to pay to the defendant 17331., on the ground of outlay, and a farther sum of 4001. for the determination of the term ; and he was also ordered to pay the costs of the suit and interest, at the rate of four-and-a-half per cent. on the 1733 L until the final settlement. Before the de fendant could make the award a rule of court, Mr. Hom ing filed this present bill, and obtained the common in junction to stay all proceedings under the award. The defendant subsequently demurred to the bill on the ground of want of equity, as the whole matter had been taken out of the cognisance of the Court by the award under the provisions of the 9th and 10th of Wm. 111. The demurrer was argued before the Vice-Chancellor of England, who considering the objection of want of juris diction as of no force, overruled the demurrer on the ground of its wanting mutuality and finality, as no pro vision was contained in the award for delivering up pos session to Heming after he had done what was ordered by the arbitrator. Mr. J. Parker and Mr. Daniels were counsel for the appellants, and Mr. Bolt and Mr. Wright supported the udgtnent of the Court below. His LORDSHIP, at the conclusion of the arguments to day, said he would give judgment on Monday. CAR3IICHAEL V. CARMICHAEL. This case came before the Court upon an appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Bruce, allowing certain exceptions to the Master's report, and also on a re-hearing of the original decree pronounced in the cause so long ago as the year 1834. The principal ques tion in the case was, whether a person who had consti tuted himself an executor de son tart, could discharge himself from his liabilities by accounting to the admi nistratrix of the testator. The facts out of which the questio❑ arose appeared to be these :—The late General Carmichael, the Governor of Demerara, made his will, by which he made certain bequests to his lady, and con stituted his son and daughter residuary legatees. He died in the year 1813, and his son having been appointed his father's aide-de-camp, set out on the 13th of June in that year for Demerara, He arrived there a few days after his father's death. The usual course adopted in that island was then pur sued, the authorities there took possession of the whole of the property of the deceased, sold it, paid his debts, and handed over the surplus to his son, the defendant in the suit, together with some articles in specie, among which was a specimen of gold dust. This property, together with the original testamentary papers, were brought to this country by the defendant; in the interim, however, copies of those papers having been sent to this country, the testator's widow, the mother of the plaintiff and defendant, took out letters of administration to his effects, her son, the defendant, finding this to be the case, gave up to his mother all the property he had brought to this country, and ac counted to her for every thing. After that ac count between the mother and son, it was settled that the residue of the testator's property was 20611., half of which the defendent kept for himself, and the other half, amounting to 10301., was given to the mother for her daughter. In the year 1815, the daughter at tained her age of 21, and in 1832 the present bill was sled by her against her brother, stating that he had pos sessed himself of a large quantity of property belonging to her father, and among the rest a considerable quantity of gold dust of great value, and praying for an account. The cause came on for hearing, and a decree referring it to the Master to take an account was made in the year 1834. The case remained in the Masters'- office till 1843, when the Master made his report that the account had been taken between the mother and son, and settled by them. Exceptions were taken to that report, which were allowed by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, on the ground that there was nothing in the decree with respect to a settled account, and that, therefore, the Master had miscarried in his report. From this judgment the present appeal was brought, and it was also asked by the petition of rehearing, that the Court would insert in the decree a reference to to the Master to inquire whether any account was set tled between the defendant and his mt•ther, and if there was, that It might be established. Mr WoDd appeared in support of the petition of ap peal and reheating, and Mr. Bacon supported the judg ment below. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course of the arget ments, observed that the proceedings in this case bore out the statements that had been so frequently made, of the delay that took place in the Court of Chancery. Here was a case that had been no less than nine years in the Master's office. Ile wished to know how that delay had taken place. Added to this, the decree had been pronounced 13 years ago, and no information could be given to the Court of what took place when that decree was made. Mr. BACON admitted that great delay had taken place, but he could not say how that bad occurred. The solicitors were dead, as well as some of the counsel. One circumstance that might have caused delay was, that evidence bad to be got from the West Indies. The LORD CHANCELLOR at the conclusion of the arguments, said he though it was a strange thing, after an acquiescence in a decree from 1834 to 1846, to ask bim to alter that decree. He thought he should be doing great injustice, both to the suitors and the prac tice of the Court, if he adopted such a course ; but as he was anxious to know what had taken place when the decree was procounced, and as probably the Registrar's book would afford some information on that subject, he would let the case stand over till Monday, to see if the Registrar could procure him that information. WRIGHTSON V. MACAULAY. The arguments on this appeal from th 3 judgment of the Vice-Chanc;-11or Wigram, occupied the Court the remainder of the day. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 7. RAYNALL V. RAYNALL. This was a case in which the plaintiffs, who were legatees, sought to have the property of the testator divided. It appeared there were no less than nineteen legatees, some of whom were out of the country, and that owing to the latter circumstance the rents arising out of the property had been accumulating for a considerable period. The arguments turned chiefly on the terms of the will, and were very lengthy. Lord LANGDALE said that it was a very difficult mat ter to decide in the present case, because the intentions of the testator were very ambiguously expressed. There were parts of this will which were, even to all appear ance, not capable of being reduced to any consistent meaning. A very ingenious question had been raised respecting the executary devise, as well as on other points ; but he had come to the conclusion, looking at the circumstances, that the children of the testator had become absolutely entitled to the estate in question. He would therefore run the risk he must incur i❑ dis posing of the property in the absence of some of the parties, and grant the decree, the costs to be paid out of the funds. The Court rose at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Nov. 7. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England heard demurrers, re-hearings, and further directions to-day. BINGHAM V. LEE. In this case the COURT, at the conclusion of the argu ments, ordered the demurrer to be allowed. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) FRASER V. JONES. The arguments in this part-heard cause were resumed this morning. His HONoun took time to consider his judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nos. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) LYNDHUSS V. CRAFTS.-DISPOSING OF FURNITURE BY BILLS OF SALE. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS, Q.C., applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict, found in this case for the plaintiff, should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The action was tried before Mr. Justice Coltman, at Guildford, and came before the Court by an issue framed under the " Interpleader Act." He grounded his appli cation on misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge who tried the case, and because the verdict was against the evidence adduced at the trial. The question at issue was whether. on the 30th of May last, certain goods and chattels at No. 20, Golden-terrace, Islington, belonged to Henry Lyndhuss, or any or all of them? Lyndhuss, it appeared, claimed the goods under a bill of sale, dated the 6th of August, 1845, whilst the defendant claimed them under another bill of sale, dated the 7th of February, this year. It appeared from the plaintiff's case that the goods were all( ged to have belonged to one Sarah Benton, and be called an appraiser named Effers field, his own son, and another witness, whose evide,nce ' was immaterial, for the purpose of establishing his claim. Efferslield to stifled that on or about 6th of August he was emi loyed to place an execution on the goods of Mrs. Benton, who then resided in Thomas place, Gravesend, where the Furniture then was ; that a coinmunication was made to. the plaintiff, who was a bill discounter, but occasionally acting as an attorney, who came to the house, and that in his presence some money passed be tween him and Mrs. Benton. The rent was paid, and he consequer tly left the house; but he distinctly stated that no bill of sale was executed in his presence. Then the plaintiff 's son stated that he went to the house whilst his father si 'as there; that he drew up a bill of sale, and that he was 3 the attesting witness ; he also spoke to the taking pm easion under the instrument. He added that st shoat thn, s after this transaction his father went down to Gravesend with two or three of his children, and re mained at the house two or three weeks, it being occu pied at the time by Mrs. Benton and ber son, when he left a person, named Campbell, who was put in posses sion, and the goods were subs( quently removed to the house in Golden-terrace, which was occupied by Mrs. Benton and her son, and never by his father. The case made out for the defendant was this :—He lived in Gravesend, and on the 7th of February this year he advanced 351. to liberate Mr. John Benton from prison, where he was confined for debt, and as security he re ceived a bill of sale—or what was equivalent to a bill of sale—namely, an agreement to make a bill of sale en the goods, but containing words which mortgaged the goods to him. The document stated that Mrs. Benton, and her son, John Benton, agreed, within seven days of its date, to make a bill of sale in the usual form, trans ferring the whole of the furniture of the house in Thomas-place, Gravesend, to the defendant, and that the instrument should be taken and considered as equi valent to a bill of sale. This was handed to him on the 7th of February, but, to his surprise, he found that shortly after the furniture had been removed to the house in Islington. He was unable to obtain access to the house under this bill of sale, and he therefore brought an action against Messrs. Benton, and obtained access under an execution, when he levied a distraint upon the furniture as the property of Mrs. Benton. It was on this part of the case that he apprehended Mr. Justice Coltman had misled the jury. Upon his taking posses siod the plaintiff set up his claim obtained under a bill of sale of the month of August, 1845, and so the contest arose. The Learned Judge, in:directin, the jury, said, "as no possession was taken under the document, it was void against the plaintiff if his was a bonci fide security." In fact, he summed up as if it was a question of fraud on the part of Crafts, whereas there was no imputation of the kind. There was evidence which showed that the plaintiff first said that he purchased the goods from the son, and afterwards that he purchased them from the mother, and that he had the bill of sale from Mrs. Benton alone, which could not be valid, inasmuch as the son was a joint owner cf them, which was shown by the defendant's bill of sale, which was given in the name of both. There was, however, a division to show the goods belonging to the son and those belonging to the mother. _ Lord DENMAN deferred the decision of the Court in order that he might consult Mr. Justice Coltman. PHILLIPS V. COLLINS.--LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL _____ COMM ITTEEMEN. ---- Mr. Sergeant SHEA applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict returned for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection, and on account of the verdict being against the evidence adduced at the trial which took place at the last sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Wightman. The defendant was a member of the provisional committee of a Geneva railway, and the plaintiff is a cabinet-maker, and the action was brought against Collins and a person named Greville, (who had suffered judgment to go by default), for 160/. 10s. for goods delivered on their credit, for the use of the pro visional committee of the railway. The only question in the case was, whether Collins was liable ? The jury considered that he was, but he (Mr. Sergeant Shea) would remind the Court that the case was tried at a time when, on account of t..e deeisions of the Court of Exchequer, it was unhesitatingly considered that the mere fact of being a member of a provisional committee rendered a man liable for whatever expenses were in curred by the company with which he was so connected. The case was tried upon this principle. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN differed with the Learned Sergeant. The case was left perfectly free to the consideration of the jury. He sub mitted the fi , llowir , questions to them :—Did Mr. Collins hold himself out to the plaintiff and to the world as one of the directors of the railway, or suffered others to so hold him out, at the time the plaintiff sup plied the goods ? Did the plaintiffs execute the order on the credit of Collins and Greville being directors of the company, and were the goods such as the company required in its then state ? To all of these questions the jury replied in the affirmative, and accordingly gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant SHEA said they did, forming their deci sion on the principle, that because the defendant was a provisional committeeman, he was liable. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN repeated that he carefully left the question to the jury. and held that if the defendant suffered himself to be held out as one of the directors of the company, and that if the goods were supplied on the strength of the office he held then, that they ought to find for the plaintiff. Lord DENMAN-It will perhaps be assnmed now that being a provisional committeeman is an exemption ! (ict. laugh.) Mr. Sergeant SHE• said he did not contend that, but he contended that the evidence was as slight as possible to show that be was a provisional committeeman, much less that he sanctioned or gave the orders, Two persons named Gilbrante and Greville were the promoters of the line, and various meetings were held at the George and Vulture, Cornhill. There the busi ness of the company also, which was very trifling indeed, was transacted, but afterwards it was deemed expedient to take apartments at 73, Basinghall-street, and Gil brante ordered the furniture from the plaintiff. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN referred to his notes. From them it appeared that Gilbrante stated, at the trial, that he was to get directors, and that, if it was carried out, he was to be assistant -secretary, at a salary of 31. 3s. a week, and to have 300 shares in common with the directors. He told Grcville that he wanted two more directors, when he mentioned the names of some friends who were members of the Reform Club, and promised to get that number before the offices were opened. Ile afterwards stated that he had got Collins to join the company. Collins, it appeared, came to the office two or three times, but his name was in the prospectus as a director, and on going into the board-room on one occa sion he said " You are doing it up very nicely." Mr. Sergeant SHEA said he called a number of wit nesses on behalf of the debt. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—You did ; but I thought they strengthened the plaintiff 's case —Rule refused. BILLS FRAUDULENTLY OBTAINED.—WOOD V. MITTEN. Mr. Sergeant SHEA also moved for a new trial in this case, and for power to arrest judgment. The verdict was found for the plaintiff. The action arose out of a promissory note drawn by the defendant for 6001., en dorsed by him to a person named Clarkson to the plaintiff. The quastion at issue was whether the plaintiff knew that the bill had been fraudulently ob tained from the defendants. The defendant, who ;vas a gay man of fortune, was defrauded of three bills in the month of March, 1845, by a person named Barker ; two of them came into the hands of a person named Hearn, who brought actions against the defendant for their amounts, but he bad been in each case defeated. lie now produced the affidavit of a person named Rickard, setting forth that with respect to this bill the plaintiff was well aware that it had been fraudulently obtained, he having been unable to do so at the trial. There could be no doubt of the fact, as various proceedings had been taken in the law courts and at Marlborough -street Police-court, which were fully reported in the news papers. He moved for an arrest of judgment o:s the strength of the statute of Anne, which rendered the note not negotiable. The Court of Common Pleas had granted a rule for a new trial in a similar case, and the question was now before the Court of Exchequer on demurrer. The Court acceded to the motion for an arrest of judgmt nt. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) HOWDEN v. HOLMES. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL moved in ihis case for a rule nisi and a new trial, on the ground (,f misdirection. The trial took place at Maidstone, before Mr. Baron Parke. The plaintiff who was employed as the Par liamentary agent of the Hull and Birmingham, and Swansea Junction Railway, sought to recover the sum of 25L from the defendant, as a member of the provi sional committee. It appeared that in the latter part of the year 1845, the managing committee called a special meeting at the offices of the company, for the purpose of obtaining the accounts of the different persons who had been em ployed in the service of the company, and also for the purpose of devising some plan for the liquidation of the outstanding claims. The result of the meeting was that a resolution was agreed upon, to the effect that each provisional committee man should subscribe the sum of 25/.. in order to raise a sufficient sum to clear off the liabilities of the company. A letter enclosing a copy of the resolution was forwarded to each member of the com mittee, including the defendant, who was then residing at Hull. On the 25th of March following —the date of the first application being the 14th of March—another application was made by the secretary for the payment of the sum in question. On the 29th of April the de fendant, together with other gentlemen, also members of the committee, residing at Hull, signed a certain docu ment, in which they acknowledged the receipt of the former applications, and requested that a general meet ing of the committee should be held in London, for the purpose of considering the various claims made upon the compa n y, and to pay such as were proved to be valid and proper. The Learned Baron who tried the cause considered this document as containing a promise to pay on the part of the defendant, and a verdict was accord ingly returned for the plaintiff. Mr. Baron ALDERSON thought the defendant a very honest man for sending the document referred to, and thought that he should not be prevented from paying. Rule refused. WYLD v. HOPKINS. This was an action in which the plaintiff Mr. Wyld, of Charing-cross, sought to recover the sum of 761/. 55., for goods sold and work done on behalf of the Pets r - borough and Nottingham Junction Railway, in which the defendant was a member of the railway committee. A verdict was given for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. WATsoN now moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground that the de fendant had never attended a meeting of the committee, that lie had never been summoned to do so, and that he took no part whatever in the management of the com pany's affairs, they being wholly conducted by a com mittee of management, of which the defendant was not a member, and further, that the orders given to the plain tiff, Lind been given by the solicitor, who had the getting up of the company. The LORD CHIEF BARON seid, that in his opinion, that this was one of the most naked cases, with reference to the subject of provisional committeemen that had come under his notice. The solitary fact shown in evidence was that the name of the defendant appeared in the printed prospectus of the company.—Rule granted. IN THE CASE OF RANKS v. STILL. The grounds of this case were similar to the case of Banks v. Good, reported in The Sun of yesterday, and in which a verdict was also returned for the defendant. On the part of the plaintiff the Court refused an application by Mr. Watson for a rule for a new trial. HAYNES V. BUTTERWORT H. This action, which was tried at Liverpool beforo Mr. Justice Cresswell, was brought for the purpose of recovering a sum of money atleged to be lost to the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendant not accepting fifty shares in the Grand Union Railway, according to an alleged contract. The verdict was for the plaintiff. Mr. BAINES now moved, by leave of the judge, fOr a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered, as it appeared that, among other evidence given at the trial, it was proved that Haynes, the plaintiff, wai in partnership with a person of the name of 'rudall, and that, therefore, the action should have been brought in their joint names ; also, that the shares which the defendant contracted to purchase were the shares of a Mr. Ainsworth ; those shares were not, however, sent to the defendant, but to a person residing at Nottingham, and other shares were handed over to the deft ndant ; and further, that the agreement for the purchase of the shares was not stamped.—Rule granted upon the whole of the grounds. HUNT P. PUCHAN. This was an action arising out of the non-accept ances of a number of shares in the Manchester and Southampton Railway Company. Mr. Hunt was a -provisional committeeman of this line, and as such, was entitled to receive 100 shares. A short Vme after he applied to the secretary for a further allotment of shares over and above the 100. Mr. Hunt was residing at Southampton, as also Mr. Puckan, the defendant, who on the Ist of October went up to London, and while there sent down instructions by means of the electric telegraph to Mr. Clarke, a share broker of Southampton, in these words, "Buy me Man• chester and Southampton shares at 4 . 4 or 4:1 premium, and allotments at 41. Is. 3d. premium." Mr. Clark ac cordingly proceeded to purchase a number of shares and allotments, including an allotment of 250 shares, for which Hunt and the plaintiff had written to the com pany, and in writing to the defendant, then in London, enumerating the purchases he had made, he mentioned the 250 shares applied for by Hunt (the plaintiff), which he had purchased at 51. premium. The company re fused, however, to allot to the plaintiff the 250 shares ho had api)lied for, and in consequence of his not having received the shares, defendant said that he would let him off his contract. On the 28th of October he received a letter from the secretary of the company stating that one hundred shares were allotted t•) him as a member of the provisional committee. The plaintiff paid the necessary deposits. Some delay, however, took place in his receiving the scrip, during which time its value was considerably reduced. Plain tiff then called upon the defendant, and requested him to take the scrip according to the terms of the contract, which the defendant refused, and the present action was brought to compel defendant to make good the loss by his refusal. A verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr:MONTAGUE CHAMBERS now moved for a new trial upon the ground that there was no authority for the defendant to make the contract, the instructions being to buy shares, and not allotments of shares; secondly, that an unreasonable time had elapsed before the scrip was delivered to the defendant. The COURT refused the rule. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) WYNCH AND OTHERS V. HAMILTON AND OTHERS.- BREACH OF CONTRACT. Mr. MARTIN moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside and a new trial granted, or why judgment should not be arrested. The action, which was one of considerable importance, was tried at last Liverpool Assizes, before Mr. Justice Cresswell, and a verdict given for the defendants— datyages. 790 t. 14s. 3d. The plaintiffs were owners of a ship, and the defendants had chartered for a ♦essel, the Mary Wynch, to go out to the coast of West Africa, for a cargo of guano ; and, in the failure of obtaining that, to sail, under certain instructions, to Rio and Bahia, for a cargo. The action was brought to recover the amount of freight, which was refused, on the ground of non-ful filment of the terms of the contract. The defence was that the captain had opened the sealed instructions given him in the wrong latitude ; that he did not make proper inquiry, according to the instructions, for guano ; and that he sailed to Bahia, and from thence to Europe, in a manner and time not warranted by the charter-party. This was denied, the plaintiffs affirming that any failure of the expedition arose from the inability to obtain guano, and the imperfect nature of the instructions. The Learned Gentleman went on to show that the defendants had done all that was required of them by the charter, and that the failure had been occasioned by the captain of the vessel neglecting the express instructions given him. This was the point left to the jury, and if the instructions were read, and the evidence consulted, it would be found that he had.failed to carry them out in many essential particulars. Rule granted, with instructions that it be made a special case. OSBORNE V. PRITCHARD. Mr. Sergeant BYLES moved for a new trial, in this case, on the ground of surprise. This case was tried before Mr. Justice Erle, at the last London sittings, and a verdict was given for the defendant. It was an action brought by a railway surveyor, who was engaged by the defendant in that capacity. The engagement was, that the plaintiff should be employed on a certain railway survey, at 3 guineas a day and expenses. This was in November, 1845, and after being employed for a short period, he was discharged ; it was alledged from incom petence. He then brought an action to recover for the unfulfilled period of the engagement, the whole extend ing from the 22d of October to the 30th of November. Rule refused. DATTUO AND OTHERS V. THE COUNT BATHTHANY. LIVERPOOL AND DERBY DIRECT RAILWAY. Mr. WIIITEHURST moved for a rule to set aside the verdict on the ground of misdirection and its being against evidence. lie would also move that the da mages be reduced. The action was tried at Derby before Mr. Justice Patteson, and a verdict given to the plaintiff for 351. Bs. The plaintiffs were lithographers, who sought to recover for printing the prospectuses, &c., of the Liverpool and Derby Direct Railway, of which the defendant was a provisional director. The defence was, that defendant though he was named on the provisional committee, had never attended any of the meetings or had any personal communication with Battho and Co. The Learned Gentleman submitted that in the precedent of Lambert v. Blaskitt, which was heard the other day, and a rule granted, the same should be done now.—Rule granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ( SAT UR DAY.) CLERKENWELL. James Kelly was placed at the bar charged with rob bing his employers, Messrs. Pratt and Sewell, the exten sive stonemasons and paviours, of Gray's Inn-lane, to a large amount. Mr. Sewell, the junior partner in the firm, said the prisoner was foreman over their wharf, at the Regent's canal, and on Tuesday last he was observed by one of the workmen to bring a cart into the wharf yard, which he ordered one of the labourers to load with five-feet slabs, and it shortly afterwards left, without any person taking notice of the name upon it, the colour of the horse, or anything further than that a tall, respectably dressed man accompanied it as it left the yard, end turned down towards Maiden-lane. The prisoner had made no return to the book-keeper of having sent out any goods. On a previous occasion fifq flags more than those mentioned had been sent out. Mr. GREENWOOD observed that it was evident there was a system of plunder going on, but he thought at the present moment a party equally guilty with the prisoner—he meant the receiver, or prime instigator— was not yet amenable, and he should therefore remand the case to next Thursday, when the police would try and trace the party who took the goods away. MARLBOROUGH-SRTEET. John Maynard and Thomas Fuller were put to the bar, charged with stealing bricks. Police constable 192 C said, while on duty that morn. ing, about two o'clock, he found a pile of new bricks, about thirty in number, in a court. After passing round his beat he again walked up the court, and found that the pile had been increased five more bricks in his ab sence. He stood awhile, in company with police constable F 158, by the pile, and the defendant Fuller came down the court with a basket in his hand, which contained six bricks more. Police-constable C 45 took the defendant Maynard into custody with five bricks under his arm, proceeding to the pile in the court. Police-constable 158 corroborated the' other evi dence, and said the bricks were all of one mark, and could be traced to a heap in New Oxford -street, which the prisoners could only have reached by passing over a fence six feet high. They had not yet had time to find out the owner of the bricks. Mr. LONG said there could be little doubt about the way in which they bad come by the bricks, and he would, therefore, remand them till Tuesday. RAILWAY RETURNS. ------ - - -- .

On Friday eight, at seven o'clock, an investigation took place before Mr. H. Bedford, at the Canteen of St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross, as to the death of Colour-Sergeant Richard Gardener, aged 38, of the first battalion of Coldstream Guards, who committed suicide by .hooting himself with his musket. The body presented a frightful spectacle, the right side was nearly shot away from the head, and the brains were strewed about. He appeared to have put the muzzle of the rifle under his chin, and the ball had pa,sed upwards through the ceilog. The deceased was a remarkably tine young titan, and highly respected. John Webster, pay and colour sergeant of the Ist bqtalion of the Coldstx,iina Guards, said he often saw the th ceased, and lie always appeared cheerful. At a quarter past eleven_ yesterday morning witness saw him off duty. He appeared as usual. At twenty minutes to one witness was going up to his room, which was immediately over the deceased's, when his wile called to him, and sail a gun had gone off it, the de-. ceased's room, and smoke was coming ut of the key hole. The door was locked, and the key had been taken out. The door was broken, and the dec: , ased was found sitting on the bed with his bank against the wall, and his fusee between his legs The right side of tne bed was shot away. To the CORONER—Th 'fusee ought never to be loaded, but ammunition is kept in his room. He could not want his discharge. tor he could have discharged himself, as he had served 18 years. Sergeant-Major Huth, of the same company, said that that morning the deceased was taken before the com manding officer for taking a sum of 181. from private Smales, to pay for his (Smales') discharge, which is eon trary to the standing orders of the army. He was de sired by the commanding officer to produce the mottey, when the deceased said it was at a friend's. The officer told Lim to write a letter to his friend. The deceased wrote an order for 181. on Mr. Dukins, of the W hite Hart, Tottenham-court-road. Mr. Dukins sent an answer—" I have no money of Sergeant Gardener's, nor ever had." While the sergeant was gone with the letter the deceased committed the act. Sergeant E. Belcher, who had been on guard with the deceased, also said he had seen no difference in his manner. He mentioned about the 181. to him, and the deceased smiled, and said it was all right. He was a very high-spirited man, and was far above his station. The money had been given by civilians for Smales's dia • charge, and he believed they hsd written to the Com mander-in-Chief to know why he had not obtained it The money in his box was only sufficient to pay his company. The CORONER summed np the evidence, and the jury returned the following verdict—" That the deceased shot himself while in a state of tetepprary insanity, produced by pecuniary embarrassm, nt."
