IRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS A.n Evening Contemporary has been misinformed respecting the Irish Mastership of the Rolls. Sir Wjliam McMahon was living--though in a hopeless state—at the hour of post on Saturday ; and Baron O'Loghlen has not arrived in London to look for his place. It is not unlikely that the Right Hon. and Learned Baron will be the new Master of the Rolls ; but at present even delicacy would forbid a canvass for the situation. That delicacy has not been—and we need hardly add it will not be—violated by Baron O'Loghlen.—Morning Chronicle. The proceedings of the General Association of Ireland, at the adjourned meeting on Friday, will amply repay the trouble of an attentive perusal. Mr. O'Connell's speech, on proposing a vote of thanks to Sir William Molesworth, is characterised by good sense and good feeling. It demonstrates the in fatuation of some and the profligacy of others who, professing a hatred of Toryism and a love for Ireland, yet endanger the existence of an Administration which Is prevented from consolidating the liberties of the people only by the selfish feelings, and the ascendancy in one branch of the Legislature, of the Tory party. It is henceforth impossible for any rational Reformer, any sincere frd to Ireland, to persist in a course which, as Mr. O'Connell has clearly shown, tends inevitably to the inundation of the Bench of Jus ice in the sister country with the most reckless parti sans of bigotry, intolerance, and corruption. Upon this part of the proceedings of the Association we shall, however, take a more convenient occasion again to fix the public attention. Another branch of Friday's pro ceedings is also very important ; we allude to the reso lutions by way of amendment upon the Rev. Mr. O'Mallev's motion for the conversion of tithes into a poor-rate, proposed by Mr. O'Connell and adopted unanimously by the Association. The zeal of that admirable body has not hurried them into an indiscre tion in which they and their friends might be swamped. They have resolved to sustain the present Govern ment, as well in its views about the poor-law question, as in its propositions for the adjustment of the tithe question.—Morning Chronicle. Sir Robert Peel, by the manly energy and states manlike wisdom of the course which he has pursued at Glasgow, supplies abundant political excitement to the country, no less than food for Ministerial anxiety and bustle, from this time to the meeting of Parlia ment. If it were nothing more than the raising of a standard or rallying point round which the sound and honest portion of the people of England may unite, what incalculable good has the Conservative leader, by that means alone, effected I Heretofore, it is true, there has been a sort of feeling or tacit understanding throughout the nation, that as the bias of the Whigs, for the sake of office, would be towards a servile sub mission to the Radicals, and an acquiescence in the worst schemes of that outlawed faction for the total ruin of the monarchy, so on the other hand, the bias of the Conservatives would be generally adverse to such at tempts, and in favour of the principle of stability. But such a persuasion, founded on premises rather assumed than definite or demonstrable, was not sufficient for sober minds to rest upon in their addresses to the na tion. We might be certain of some resistance on the part of the Conservatives to the plots of the common enemy, but could not say how much. We might, in full reliance on the individual character of noblemen and gentlemen at the head of the Conservative body, assure ourselves, and state to others, as a probability, that such and such points would never be surrendered by the Duke of Wellington, or by Sir Robert Peel. But still this was no written bond, still it was no formal security, still we had nothing to show for it, nothing wherewith to satisfy the loyal and constitutional spirit of Great Britain, as to what points they were which would be considered vital—what were the concessions which never could or would be made—whether the Church, with the outer walls left standing, might not, nevertheless, be diligently gutted, and the altar over turned and defiled—whether the Peers, while bedecked with coronets, might not be reduced iu their free agency to waxwork figures, and voted out of Parlia ment as a nuisance, though gazed at by children for a show ? These were doubts, which, though not for a moment entertained in the minds of well-informed per sons, it was not easy to answer to the public satis faction, seeing that we had no authorized versioir of the forthcoming Peel and Wellington policy to re fer to—no ostensible pledge, or official compact, as certaining the precise limit beyond which their sense of what was due to the constitutional monarchy would not suffer the legislators of that great party to march. This defect in the archives of Conservatism has been supplied by the bold announcements of the Right Hon. Baronet. He has laid down the fundamental canon of Conservatism, and has, in the same breath, proclaimed it to twenty-five millions of the King of England's subjects. Sir Robert Peel has not merely pronounced iu general terms his attachment to the in stitutions of Church and State, but he says, in distinct and positive language, " I will support the Protestant establishments of the three countries ;"—I will support i:. its full integrity the authority of the House of Lords, as an essential condition of the mixed mo narchy under which we live." These are inestimable words. They cannot be misunderstood by the people of England. They cannot be receded from by the Conservative Prime Minister. They cannot be mis represented by the public enemy. It is the standard of the Constitution nailed to the mast, and the Conserva tives of Great Britain, one and all, are now sworn to con quer or perish with it. This of itself—this decision of the Right Hon. Baronet—founded partly on a conscious ness of his indispensable duty, partly on a confidence in the irresisti'Jle strength of the myriads who co-operate with hire--.phis of itself is victory. There is not now a single man in the kingdom who can plead in excuse for hiApolitical hesitation or neutrality, a doubt as to wh.at it is that he undertakes, when he accedes to the Conservative party. No man can henceforth assert that he is hoodwinked or deluded by Sir Robert Peel, Ear that in forming an alliance with him ho is left in the dark what principles he embraces, or how far he is to carry the application of them. But there is some thing more in the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet. There is an appeal to those who have not yet called themselves Conservatives, and a reference to facts which throw upon them--we mean that portion of the Liberal party who were the ostensible and prominent framers of the Reform Bill—an appeal to their con stetency and honour, if they abide by their principles, as explained by their solemn professions only four or five years ago, invoking their support of Sir Robert Peel's constitutional policy, if they would not incur the stain of hypocrisy upon their fOrmer declara tions, or of gross apostasy through their present acts. The Right Hon. Baronet, addressing himself to those who were Reformers, par excellence, in the years 1830, 1831, 1832, reminds them that they had as sented to a Reform, and that the Gley Administration had invited the people of England to acquiesce in that reform on the express condition that it; should be one " according to the acknowledged principles of the Constitution"—the Constitution in Church and State. He asks the Reformers of Great Britain "do they ad here to" that principle of reform, advocated, as he proves it was, upon the ground that it should corres pond with, and should not transgress, the acknowledged boundaries of the Constitution ? To satisfy the Re formers of the empire that he is not dealing in empty or untenable generalities, he adduces a state document, nothing less than a King's Speech, the speech of his present Majesty, in recommending to both Houses the measure of Parliamentary Reform. " I have now to recommend the important question of reform to your earliest and most attentive consideration, con fident that in any measures which you may pre pare for its adjustment, you will carefully adhere to the acknowledged principles of the Constitu tion, by which the prerogatives of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, and the rights and liberties of the people, are equally se cured." One prerogative of the Crown is to create Peers. Is that respected by some of those who assume to themselves the title of Reformers, and who clamour for a House of Lords to be elected by ballot ? One authority of the House of Lords is to deliberate on the passing of acts of Parliament. Is that respected by NElysi,, another class of Reformers, who would assign to the nothing more than a suspensive veto upon the - omnipotence of the other House of Parliament ? And are those Conservatives to be refused the name and ....-.., _ THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1837. credit of Reformers who stand at the present hour upon those very principles upon which the Grey Administra tion, through the mouth of his Majesty, introduced the subject of the Reform Bill itself in the year 1831 ? But the King's speech—the speech of his Whig Mi nisters—went further than the above passage ; for, says his Majesty, " In recommending reform to your consideration, it was my object to give additional security to the settled institutions of the State." When the settled institutions of the State are talked of, are the Church of England and the House of Lords ex cluded ? When consistency is talked of, are we to be told that the Whig reform policy of 1830 is nought better than rank Toryism in 1836 ? This ap peal of the Right Hon. Baronet is conclusive.—Times. Having commented at some length yesterday upon the able and eloquent speech of Sir Robert Peel at Glasgow, we return to that subject to-day only for the purpose of impressing upon the minds of the Conser vatives of the empire the immense accession of moral power which is gained to their cause, by connecting it inseparably with the fate of the Protestant Establish ments of the country. We know that the manly, ex plicit, and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert Peel to stand by those Establishments has created bitter disappointment, and an increase of that despondency which has been coming over them of late in the Ministerial quarters. The Whig journals had fondly anticipated that the Right Honourable Baronet would, upon the great and vital questions of ecclesiastical and constitutional policy which are now agitated, have expressed himself at the Glasgow meeting in a tempo rizing and equivocal manner. Had that been so, we know that a division, much more detrimental to the interests of the country—a division more fatal in its consequences than that which took place in the Conservative ranks relative to the Bill of unqualified Roman Catholic Emacipation would have ensued. The Protestant Conservatives—we mean those who are so in truth, and not merely in name—are re solved to follow no expediency-leader. They are not man-worshippers, but venerators of principle. On a former occasion, when Sir Robert Peel had resolved to make that experiment which has proved the extent of Popish gratitude and good faith, he responded not to the call of the Protestants of the North. Now he has nobly responded to the call of Protestantism through out the empire ; and having made the explicit decla ration that he has, there is that confidence in his integrity that no man suspects his conduct will ever falsify it. An apprehension, it cannot be denied, was entertained for some time past, by many of those who greatly admire the talents of Sir Robert Peel, that he was too timidly cautious and prudent for a crisis like the present ; for even an excess of that valu able quality called prudence may assist to ruin an empire, where the bold determination of genius, confiding in its cause, like Cmsar in his fortunes, would save it. The Ministerial prints had eagerly seized upon the occasion of Lord Lyndhurst's cele brated speech in the House of Lords, to draw an invidious contrast between glowing and energetic style, and the more quiet, perhaps the colder dic tion of Sir Robert Peel's speeches in the House of Commons. Hence they would have it inferred that the principles of those two great Conservative leaders were not in accordance ; but they might as well infer discrepancy of political sentiment from the difference of their features. Each expressed himself on the same questions with more or less of that characteristic indi viduality of manner which only shows how the consti tutional temperament of one man of genius differs from that of another, even where their moral convictions are the same. When Sir Robert Peel thought that the time had arrived, not only for a most decided but a most energetic declaration of political opinion, upon all that concerns the great interests of our consti tutional Monarchy in Church and State, he did not hesitate to make that declaration which, under Pro vidence, has sounded the death-knell of the no-prin ciple Ministry and their destructive allies. Had he acted on this occasion as the Ministerial Journals led their readers to believe—had he spoken in a manner not calculated to impress the Protestants of the empire with the confidence that he would take his position in front of the altars of the reformed faith, to fight the battles of the Constitution—the Ministers, and their Popish and infidel allies, would have had good reason to rejoice in the consequences. We should be sorry to be lieve, and, indeed, it savours too much of idol-worship to he a Protestant doctrine, that the destinies of this great country depend upon the existence of any one indivi dual. The Protestant people offer no such incense of adulation to Sir Robert Peel, which, indeed, would be sufficient to intoxicate the most masculine understand ing ; but they are glad, as we are, that he consulted well for his own fame, and that, flinging all pets_,, party considerations to the winds, he expressed with a gene rous devotion his fixed resolve to " support the na tional Establishments which connect Protestantism with the State in these three countries." The antici pation which had gone abroad of a much less decided expression of opinion on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet at the Glasgow dinner, was not indicated only in the Ministerial Journals. In a Conservative perio dical, conducted with very considerable talent—we mean Fraser's Magazine," in the Number for the pre sent month, it was thought necessary to allude to that impression, for the purpose of endeavouring to remove it from Conservative minds—for among them there were those who had their misgivings on the subject. The able writer of an article in that Magazine, enti tled " A Point for the Consideration of the Conserva tive Leaders," thus expresses himself on the subject to which we are alluding— " Sir Robert Peel has accepted the invitation of the men of Glasgow, and can it be imagined that one so cautious and so reflecting as the Right Hon. Baronet has raised the hopes of his admirers in the West of Scotland, merely to disappoint them ? He knows full well that he owes the honour of that invitation to the zeal of the men of Glasgow in the cause of Protestantism, and in the cause of their Protestant Church. It is as the recognised champion of Protestantism, and of the Established Churches, that they have called upon him to meet them, and behold their goodly array. To obey their call, and then to deny or question the truth of the principles in behalf of which they are em battled, would be an act of irrationality, and even of suicide, which can be expected of no man, and still less of Sir R. Peel. But Glasgow is only a sample of the empire. What constitutes the impelling principle—the rallying cry of the vast Conservative body throughout the kingdom ? What but a zeal and alacrity in defence of that Protestantism which, in its embodied form, the Church, is now seen to be in danger. Remove this cause of alarm, and the mere question of whether this or that set of men should reside in Downing-street, would not excite one man to interest, where a dozen are now toiling in the Conservative cause." We quite go along with this writer, in believing that the only sure and certain way of safety for England through its present dangers is to rest the Conservative defence of our Constitutional Monarchy upon Pro testant principles. The apprehension that Sir Robert Peel would have taken any other course in the ensuing Session of Parliament has been shown to be ground less by his speech at the Glasgow festival. He has declared that he will stand by the Established Church, the Peerage, and all those ancient and noble institu tions which have stamped England with the glorious character of moral and political pre-eminence among the nations of the earth. The battle is half won which is commenced upon such a vantage-ground of principle, and under a banner emblazoned with such words of inspiration.—Mornth g Herald. In order rightly to estimate the triumph which Sir Robert Peel has achieved by his transcendant speech at Glasgow, we must consider the variety and the extent of the expectations regarding it which 'the public had formed. We believe we are quite within the bounds of moderation when we say that all these various expec tations have been satisfied and more than satisfied. They who have taken up that spsech with a willing ness to approve for the sake of the speaker have lain it down with sentiments of the strongest admiration— and even they who have commenced its perusal under the influence of political impressions unfa vourable to Sir Robert Peel have finished with a concession—an honest concession—of the understand ing and the heart to the signal merit of a composition so powerful in the advocacy of the political princi ples of the speaker—so void of offence to the poli tical principles of others. We have stated that a great variety of expectations were formed respecting this political address. Some there were who looked for that glowing eloquence of the practised orator which stirs the blood, and seeks to stamp impressions on the mind while warmed with excited passion, or softened by the touch of pathos. Others, of a different tem perament, were anxious to see the arguments—the logical concatenation from indisputable facts to asserted political theories—which such an address, from such a speaker, was likely to furnish. One body of men were eager to behold a defence of institutions which they revered, and political acts which they applauded ; another, going deeper, wished for a vindication of those principles which, as Bmrke says, " bind the moral elements of the world together," and out of which grow those institutions which we maintain to be conducive no less to the well-being of political so ciety, than to the virtue and happiness of the hu man race. Of these various classes of expectants, we venture to affirm that none have been disap pointed. However high, however distinct, however various may have been the standards by which this speech was to be tried before it gave general satis faction, we do not hesitate to say, from all we have been able to trace of its reception by the public, that the trial has redounded to the honour and the praise of the distinguished leader of the Conseryative party. When we contemplate the exhibition of political sen timent, not at the dinner alone (splendid and fitting climax as that was), but in the proceedings of the two or three preceding days, when so many respectable men, of various ranks and classes of society, pressed forward to offer their congratulations to Sir Robert Peel, we shall be excused some feeling of exultation. The political principles of Sir R. Peel are those which we have advocated through good report and through bad report. They were our principles when the popu lar frown was upon them, and when fidelity to the an cient ways of the Constitution was a thing of little profit and less thanks. We recal those days in no spirit of reproach—the popular mind mistook fidelity for bigotry, and resistance to hastily and violently adopted change for resistance to improvement. The progress of events has done justice at length to those who 'bided the pelting of the storm when there was almost no shelter. We shared in Sir Robert Peel's unpopularity—may we not, without presumption, be permitted also to share in that triumphant vindication of the just and honest character of his policy to which we are now adverting ? In what place did the tempest rage, and the torrent roar, more than in the west of Scotland ? Where was the ardour of hostility to everything bearing the name of Conservative more strong ? It is not so now—the disposition of that rich, industrious, and intelligent portion of the United Kingdom towards Conservatives is changed ; not, we believe, because the political principles of the men of the west of Scotland are changed, but because they now do justice to our principles which then they did not. They have found out that our fidelity is not bi gotry—that our resistance to violent change is not re sistance to improvement. But to return to the speech, from which no one who has recently heard or recen:ly read it can long wander : Who can doubt that the appeal to the understanding and the consistency of the people of Scotland made by Sir Robert Peel must be productive of the most important consequences ? Who can doubt that when these reflecting men per ceive, as they must perceive, that the Constitution, as settled by the Reform Bill, has but one source of stability, and that source the support of the party of which Sir Robert Peel is the leader—who, we say, that respects the character of these re- formers will hesitate to admit that they will feel the force of a deep persuasion upon them to join Sir Robert Peel ? Will they not say, in reply to his observation, that " if they adhere to their principles, they ought not to leave to him and to those who think with him the defence of the Reform Bill ;" that they trill adhere to their principles ; and that they will not leave him, in order to assist a Government which op poses itself to that religious system which they revere, and those constitutional principles which it was the design of the Reform Bill to establish ? We cannot doubt that this must be to a very great extent the effect of Sir Robert Peel's address in Glasgow. His speech will not be a voice, and nothing more. It will produce practical effects of an important nature. It must do so. We could not believe the contrary without believing that of the people of Scotland which all they have been doing shows that we ought not to believe. We do not refer to any mere courtesy of good will, or even enthusiasm of hospitality ; but to the sound serious principle of the Scottish nation, which must look for some foun dation of political conduct other than that which the present Government can pretend to. When they con sider the principles laid down by Sir Robert Peel, and the arguments by which he justifies his adherence to those principles, and when they compare these with the loathsome O'Connell alliance, and the abandon ment of all principle which is the bond and condition of that alliance, we deem it to be all but impossible that the men of the west of Scotland should fail to vin dicate their own character, by continuing in that politi cal temper which they have just now so splendidly commemorated.—Morning Post. TIIE EARL OF DURHAM.—A paragraph is going the round of "the newspapers, stating that Lord Durham's Mission to St. Petersburg!' is drawing to a close, and that his Lordship will shortly return to this country. We know not what authority the Tyne Mercury, in which the state ment originally appeared, had for makinc , it ; but we find, upon inquiry, that no expectation of such an event is en tertained in those quarters where the most correct informa tion of his Lordship's movements is likely to be obtained. It would gratify us, however, in common with the public at large, to see the Noble Earl once more on the shores of his native land, fighting with his countrymen, on British soil, for those rights which have no more faithful or more in trepid champion than himself.—Durkam Chronicle. A letter of the 7th inst., from Toulon, gives the following :—" Last night a fire broke out on board the steam-boat the Mentor, built here on account of the Minis ter of the Finances. During the day the engines had been tried, and it appears that the coals used had not been pro perly extinguished. Some plates of sheet-iron on which they had been placed in that state had become red hot, and had ignited the hull of the vessel, which was obliged to be sunk in order to extinguish the fire. The damage has not been very considerable. Carpenters have been sent from Paris by the Minister of the Finances to assist in the fitting-out of the steamers being constructed in the different ports. It is in contemplation to arm some vessels cn flute, for trans porting troops to Bona. A division from Lisbon, consist ing of three ships, is expected. When they arrive we shall have seven ships of the line, one first-rate frigate, five trans ports, four store-ships, and several brigs. This fleet will be able in two voyages to convey 21,000 men and an immense quantity of stores to Africa. The store-ship Emulation, which has returned from the coast of Spain, will sail to morrow with the letters, 20,000 rations, and some detach ments of soldiers, who are going to join their regiments. It is said that General B ugeau d w ill comman d a divi sion of our troops in the new expedition against Con stantine. The 59th Regiment is on its return to France, after four years' service at Bona. One battalion has arrived by the Caravane ; the rest will follow by some other vessels. The 59th has much distinguished itself, and has, during the above period, lost upwards of 1,000 men. Marshal Clausel, on returning to Algiers, issued an order of the day, thanking the brave sailors who concurred in the arrangements which preceded and followed the movement of the troops against Constantine, for their active and efficient eo-operation. The Marshal is endeavouring to bring Abd-el-Kader to a treaty, and has sent to him the brother of the Jew Durand, who exercised such pernicious influence in the time of Count d'Erlon. According to the accounts of prisoners who have been long detained by the Emir, the latter is in the utmost want of money, which frequently renders it impossible for him to act as he wishes, and will probably induce him to sue for peace. Marshal Clausal was still at Algiers on the 3d, and was not expected to embark till the sth, by the Pepin, steamboat. When the last accounts came away, the state of the colony was as satisfactory as possible after the check of Constantine ; that is to say, the Arabs had not taken any advantage of that event to assume a more hostile attitude • on the contrary, some of the tribes had offered their sumission." _ _ I--- Amongst the numerous curiosities deposited in our most interesting exhibition, we noticed one of that extra ordinary species of animals called the " Ornithoryncus Pa radoxus," brought from New South Wales, and sent to the Museum by Captain Pipon. Naturalists have been much puzzled how to class this singular animal, combining as it does the bird and quadruped together in its outward form, laying eggs, and hatching them like the one, and rearing and suckling its young after the manner of the other ! It is covered with a double coat of fur, like aqua tic mammalia in general. The head, instead of terminat ing in a snout, is continued in a beak, resembling that of a duck, being broad, compressed, and rounded at the tips.

PROPOSED PACK OF STAG HOUNDS AT CHELTENHAIL—A project is at present in agitation in our sporting circles, for the es tablishment of regular stag hounds, to be supported by a town sub scription. A preliminary meeting took place on Wednesday, at which Lord Segrave and other gentlemen of the hunt attended. His Lordship promised, in the event of the project being carried into effect, not only to subscribe liberally, but to furnish the deer. The harriers, it is suggested, shall be given up, and the stag hounds substituted to hunt alternate months with the Segrave fox hounds, and also once a week when the latter are in Cheltenham. The establishment of an efficient pack could not fail proving a great additional attraction to the town, particularly in the winter season, when so me ra ll y i ng po i n t s are wan ti ng .

MIDSHIPMAN EASY.—We are not surprised to hear that this very entertaining work, by the amusing author of " Peter Simple," " Jacob Faithful," &c. &c. has already reached a second edition. Public approbation seems to act as powerfully upon Captain Marryat's mind as the sun upon creation, in developing the exhaustless beauty and richness of its resources. He has here introduced us to a young and most eccentric hero, whose extraordinary adventures and endless scrapes in working out his favourite theory of universal equality, are detailed with a vividness of description so near of kin to reality, as to lull us insensibly, into the imagination that we are perusing the events of ac tual life. "Mr. Midshipman Easy," though last in the race for popular renown, bids fair to supersede all his admired predecessors in general estimation. We heartily commend him to the lovers of exquisite wit and humour. TENBURY. t has not been our painful duty since we commenced this journal to record a more melancholy train of circumstances than occurred to the family of Mr. Goode, of Knighton, near Tenbury last week. On Friday Mr. Goode's son, a little boy about eight years of age, was sent on an errand for his mother. The little fellow promptly obeyed, and was proceeding on his donky to exe cute his mission, when, passing a cottage, a ferocious dog rushed at him, which so terrified him that be returned home speechless, and in a few hours was a corpse. A servant was despatched to inform Mr. Goode of the event, he be- i ing sporting on the neighbouring hills. Shocked at the intelligence, he hastened borne with more than usual speed, and on his arrival was so stunned with the sight that pre. sented Itself, that he was obliged to take to his bed, from which he rose no more. On the Sunday, with the interval of one short day, he breathed his last. On Tuesday an express was sent to Dr. Hastings, of Worcester, to attend Mrs. Goode, who was in a dangerous state, in consequence of the afflicting events ; and when our correspondent wrote little hopes were entertained of her recovery.—Ten Towns' Messenger. Mr. Philip Thompson, a distinguished lawyer and politican, was murdered at the Yellow Banks, Kentucky, by an Irishman, armed with a " Bowie knife." The unfor tunate man fell dead on the spot. The cause of the act is not given.--. Yew York paper. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JAN. 16. IN THE MATTER OF THARP. A LUNATIC. This was a petition on the part of Messrs. Miles and Rib ber:, the consignees of the West India estates of the luna tic praying that the interest of a sum deposited in the hands of the Accountant-General, as compensation for slaves, be from time paid over to them in liquidation of their claims on the estates. The petition was opened on Friday by Sir W. Horne and Mr. Turner. MI:. WAKEFIELD Dow appeared in support of another petition from Mr. John Tharp, the grandson of the lunatic, and the committee of an estate in England. This petition prayed that he and other claimants on the estate of the lunatic be preferred to the consignees. Mr. ROMILLY appeared for Lady Hannah Tharp, the wife of the lunatic, and Mr. RUSSELL for a person who claimed to have a lien on one of the West India estates. The LORD CHANCELLOR at the conclusion of the ar guments, observed that all the advances of the consignees appeared to him to have been made, sanctioned by the order of the Court, and as there was no allegation in the petitions that these orders were wrong or defective, the consignees must be held entitled to receive the interest and dividends they claimed out of the compensation money in question. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN. 16. BROWN V. THORNTON. This was a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a verdict found for him for the sum of 9681. should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. This was an action for freight upon a charter-party upon the ship Poland. The verdict was taken for the plaintiff, subject to the mo tion for a nonsuit. A rule having accordingly been obtained, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now showed cause against the rule. The COURT made the rule for entering the nonsuit ab solute. BAIL COURT, JAN. 16. THE KING V. CUNNINGHAM AND OTHERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a writ of certiorari to remove an indictment for an assault front the Surrey Sessions to this Court. The facts of the case arose out of a dispute as to the students of Guy's Hospital having a right to enter the area of the theatre of St. Thomas's Hos pital during surgical operations. This had been disputed, and the matter ended in a riot and assault. The parties appeared on cross-warrant at Union-Hall, when the parties were held to bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. Rule to show cause granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAM 16. BETTERLEY V. MACLEOD. This was an action brought against the defendant to re cover damages which the plaintiff alleged himself to have sustained, in consequence of his not appearing upon a sub poena with which he had been served. At the trial of the cause the plaintiff's case rested upon the testimony of one witness, a person of the name of Robson, who had been the plaintiff's attorney in the action : and the Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff. The case now came on upon a rule for a new trial, obtained by Mr. PLATT last Term. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD showed cause against the rule. Rule discharged. COURT OF - EXCHEQUER, JAN. 16. PRIESTLEY V. FOWLER. This was an action in the case to recover compensation in damages for certain injuries sustained by the plaintiff. At the trial of the cause before Mr. Justice Park, at the last Summer Assizes for the county of Lincoln, it appeared that the defendant, who was a butcher, had directed plain tiff, then his servant, to take some goods to London in a van. Plaintiff went in the van, which, after being heard to crack in Peterborough, subsequently broke down on the way, when plaintiff was thrown out, his collar bone was broken, and other injuries sustained. He then brought his action. The Jury found for the plaintiff, with damages. Mr. Sergeant Adams last term obtained a rule to arrest the judgment or for a new trial. Mr. Sergeant GOULBURN showed cause against the rule. The COURT would take time to look into the case, as it was a nice one, and involved some important consequences. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, a young man named William Inners, of re spectable appearance, was charged by Mr. Francis William Crisp, with attempting- to shoot him. The prisoner pleaded intoxication, and was remanded until to-morrow. MARYLEB ONE. Mr. William Kelley, an Irish gentleman of fortune, re siding at No. 4, Upper Baker-street, Portman-square, was placed at the bar before Mr. RAWLINSON, the sitting Ma gistrate, charged with being drunk, and attempting to shoot police constable Richard Burke, D 70, while in the exe cution of his duty. The prisoner, a very fine young man, very fashionably attired, was attended by his brother and a number of friends, all apparently deeply concerned at the serious offence with which he was charged. Police constable Burke having been sworn, stated that about half-past one o'clock that morning he was on duty in George-street, Portman-square, one door from Baker street, when he saw the prisoner leaning with his elbow on the railings fronting the shop of Mr. Hopewell, chemist. He went up to him, and, fearing he was ill, asked him what was the matter ? The prisoner looked very earnestly at him, and said, " Why so." He replied that the morning was very cold, and he should advise him to go home ; adding. for I assure you the weather is very bad, you'll get your death of cold." The prisoner then immediately said, " Are you not an Irishman ?" Witness told him that was no mat ter, if he gave him good advice ; upon which the prisoner said, " Wait a moment, I'll give you a smeller ;" and im mediately drew from under his cloak a pistol, and pre sented it at his head. Witness put up his arm to ward off the aim, and at that moment the pistol was discharged, in a slanting direction, before his face ; he thereby avoiding any injury, although the contents were so near him that the smoke went into his mouth. The prisoner, at the time the pistol was discharged, said, " There's for you, and I'll serve any of you so who leave your country." At that mo ment a woman who was at the corner of the street cried out police, and called out to him to know if he was shot. He said no, but had been shot at. and wrenched the pistol from the prisoner's grasp ; and, while he held it with one hand, with the other was feeling for his rattle, when the prisoner ran off. Witness pursued him as far as Glouces ter-place, where he was stopped by two of his brother con stables, who heard the report of the pistol. On being taken into custody, the prisoner said he would shoot every - Irish coward. Police-constable John Whip, D 86, was on duty in Bryanston-square, when he heard the report of a pistol, and after a'woman calling " Police." He ran towards the spot from whence the sounds proceeded, when he saw the prisoner, who was coming up George-street, stopped by Lee Shaw, another constable. At that moment Burke came up, who said, " He's shot at me ; take hold of him." Wit ness then took hold of the prisoner, who began to plunge about. He said, " Be quiet ; you have shot the man ;,, to which the prisoner made answer, " He says he's an Irishman ; I hate those vagabonds—those cowardly vil lains—they'll take advantage of any one. I like English men, they won't take any advantage." They then walked towards the station-house, on their way to which place h e said, I think I've lost one of my fingers." Witness looked at his left hand, and saw it was bleeding. At the station-house he saw that the tops of the third and fourth fingers were off, and the prisoner there said, " I know I have done wrong, and I am sorry for it." On searching him, he found a gold watch and guard-chain, a cigar- ease and a purse, but n o money. Witness considered the pri soner to be drunk. Lee Shaw, D 114, s tated that at the station-hou se the prisoner, addressing him , said, " I had these teeth (taki ng two out of his mouth) , knoc ked out one night at the bSa loon, in Piccadilly, and I've ever since carried a pistol for safety, although I mean no harm to any one." The pd_ soner spoke remarkably rational, although he had the ap pearance of being under the influence of liquor. The prisoner, w ho said nothing, was committ e d, and shortly after conveyed to Newgate in a hackney-coach, ac companied by the g aoler and his brother, who offered to procure bail to any amoun t , which was of course refusad. Lord Brougham has withdrawn his name from the New University, a fact strongly indicative of his opinion as to the chance of its success.

Yesterday afternoon an Inquest, which lasted four hours, was held in the board-room of St. James's workhouse, Poland-street, Oxford-street, on the body of William Wren, aged 14, who was killed by being run over by the carriage of Dr. Phillips, in the Regent Circus, on Friday evening last. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death from the incautious driving of George Bennet, with a deo dand of 501. on the chariot and horses." On Saturday night a lengthened investigation took place at the Green Man Inn, East Bedfont, Middlesex, be fore Mr. Stirling and a respectable Jury of the inhabitants, on the body of James Strickland, aged 16, a fine youth, the son of a farmer, who was shot by a lad named Edward Groves.—Verdict, " Accidental death."

AN APROPOS INTnoDucT toN.—On looking over the introduction book at the Independent News• room in this town, on Saturday last, we found the follow• ing—Mr. Stocking introduced by Mr. Leg.—Tipperary Constitution. B ATl l S.—Marshal Marmont, in his recent travels in Asia Minor, states that at Brussa, where the temperature of the mineral baths of Kukurli is 183 degrees, and that of Yeni-Kaplidja 147 degrees, he saw a Turk remain a long time in a bath at the temperature of 172 degrees. Dr. Carrere says that a healthy man could only remain three minutes in the warm baths at Rousillon, at the temperature of 120 degrees. Lemonnier could stay in the baths at Bareges at 100 degrees, without difficulty, but when in creased to 118 degrees he could only remain eight minutes; his face was covered with sweat, and his whole body was much swollen, and he was obliged to leave the bath in consequence of approaching insensibility. Dr. Berger states that he endured a maximum temperature of a bath of pure water at 107 degrees without inconvenience. This temperature, according to Newton, can be borne by the hand when it, is moved about in water, or it can endure a temperature of 122 degrees when it is kept steady. For dyce, Banks, Solander, Blagdlen, Dundas, Home, Nooth, Seaforth, and Phipps, who in 1774 remained in a room for eight minutes heated up to the temperature of 262 degrees, found by a mean of severe trials that the hand can endure a temperature in mercury of 116 degrees, in water 122 degrees, in oil 129 degrees, and in alcohol 130 degrees. Taking these facts into consideration, it is impossible to come to any other conclusion than that Marmont must have been mistaken.—Poggendoyf's Annalen. PATENT LEVER WATCHES.
