CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not attend his Court at Westminster today. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FORDYCE V. BRIDGES. His LORDSHIP delivered judgment in this cause this mornings He said, this was a bill filed by Alexander Fordyce, Or the purpose of setting aside a decree that had been obtained by the defendants, Sir J. Denny Brydges, &c.,' in this suit on the 3d of August, 1843. The question in that suit which was raised by the plain tiff was one that could not be adequately discussed before the Master. It appeared that the testator left his property, which consisted of estates in Scotland and England, with directions that those in the former coun try should be sold, and the amount resulting frcm such sale to be invested in the purchase of estates in Eng land, and then left the same to the party under whom the plaintiff claimed as heir. There was no question on these points. The trustees, at their own req uest, had been discharged from the trusteeship, and the plaintiff filed a bill, which raised the question as to whether he was bound by the acts of the trustees, who had invested nearly the whole of the testator's property in the pur chase of estates in Scotland, as well as other dispositions to which he objected. Two questions were before the Court—the first, whether the present Bill was in a proper form, and the other as to the decree. With respect to the former point, he was of opinion that the present bill was quite correct in the mode in which it came before the Court. With reference to the next point, as to the correctness Of the decree, it was necessary to deal with the question more fully. It appeared that the testator had given discretionary powers to his trustees, and au thorised them to appoint trustees; but as this appoint ment was left by the terms of the testator's will entirely in private hands, with that the Court did not interfere, nor institute any inquiry into the manner in which they were to act. But after they had been appointed their acts were to be considered by the Court. Now they had not acted in conformity with the expressed intentions of the testator, and therefore the plaintiff was not bound by the decree of the 3d of August, 1843, which the trus tees bad obtained to invest the property in the manner they had done. He declared that the trustees were er roneously appointed, and directed that it be referred to the Masterto appoint new trustees under, and to inquire as to the amount„ and all the particulars of the money paid to those who held the property of the plaintiff in trust. CARPMEAL V. POWIS. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment to-day in this case, which has been for some time before the Court. The bill was filed by the plaintiff for the purpose of rectifying an agreement into which he had entered with the defendant, Miss Letitia Powis, or to have a deed of the 7th October, 1839, delivered into Court, to be can celled. In August, , 1839, the plaintiff Agreed to pur chase 'acme 'house property - froin• the defendant, for which—he was to pay a sum of 1,8901., but subsequently considering that,. \as the defendant was advanced in life, it would' be more advisable to give her an annuity instead of the purchase-money, he made a proposition to that effect, and to which she acceded. Mr. Yowls suggested that it would be only equitable for a private individual to grant more than Government. Plaintiff acquiesced, and agreed to give 181. per annum more than Government. Then the ques tion came as to what Government would give, and Mr. Powis applied to a geutleman in the Government Annuity Office, named Cuthbert, who stated in writing that the then price of 1,8001. in :the Three per Cents. was 1591. Bs. 6d. to a female of fifty-eight years, the age of the defendant at that time. 0 n the 6th of October, .1839, this was, according to the statement of Mr. Powis, shown to Miss Powis, at the same time all the circumstances being communicated to her. Miss Powis, however, stated that he only told her that the plaintiff had agreed to give her an annuity of 1761. 10s. 6d. On the 7th 'of October, 183 e, this was ' agreed to by all parties, and the deed was executed. Besides the statement of Mr. Fowls, tle !re, was the evidence of Miss Powis's solicitor, as well as: that of a gentleman who was present when the parties met for the purpose of signing the deed, and who stated that the plaintiff pro duced a piece of blank paper, w hich he said was for the purpose of making the calculation according to the rule that had been agreed upon 'between him and her bro ther. The amenity was paid fear a Oct. 1839 to Jan. 1844, when the plaintiff discovered %that he had been erro neously informed as to the dune unt that would be given by Government, under the car cumstances under which he had granted the annuity, bei nginatead of 158/.,98. 6d. only 1361. 6s. 9id., and therof ore that he had been pay ing considerably more than Et: should have done. He then applied to Miss Towle. to be released from his agreement, which she refust xi. The present bill was then filed, praying the Court tc. set aside the agreement. It was contended on behal f of the defendant, that Government payments were so well known, that the plaintiff was not entitled to POly relief. Mr. Powis had certainly offered himself to ob taro the information re quired, but he (the Master of the Rolls) should not in a matter of such importance, liave implicitly relied on the statement of a party so c Llosely related to the defen dant as Mr. Powis, although there was no imputation cast upon that gentle: nun for his conduct in the transaction. Besides, the plaintiff continued to act under the erroneous info, em ation for more than four years. His Lordship though ttl tat the agreement should be declared void, and he wo uld' decree that an account should be taken of the sums th at had been paid by the plaintiff, and that, upon his ',ay ing the balance between such and the purchase-money, the deed of agreement should be cancellsd. The Court rose at half-past one o'clock. VICE-CHANCERIC.--(T MIS DAY.) (Before the VICE -CIIANC "EL: L.OR of ENGLAND.) TERRY V. IV.AC HER.

TURNER.--C A ctIMINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL applied to have the rule in this case enlarged, on the g round that the defendant required time to obtain affida n As from France and other places which were necessary f 3r the proper hearing of the case. The Tule was obtained o• a the I lth of June, last term, but it appeared that notice w a a not served upon the de fendant until the 7th of Aug as t. Sir F. THESIGER opposes the application, on the ground that the defendant ha , i had ample time to obtain all the affidavits he might require. He might even have obtained affidavits from :India. The COURT refused the DT rlication. MR. FERRAND, m. r., _ND MR. LEWIS, THE ASSISTANT-POOR - L &W COMMISSIONER. THE QUEEN V. MR. BUSFEILI F ERRAND,. M.P.—CRIMINAL INFORI iii This case" the particulars.. of ..which mast be fresh the recollection of our reacre xi, came on this morning for argument. The rule w s obtained on the first day of term, and called upon tr. Ferrand to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for the publication of two letters in the Times, on the Bth and 10th of August last, which charged Mr. Lewis with having connived, with Sir James Graham, in order to obtain from Mr. Mott, an Assistant-Poor-law Commissioner, a false report with respect to the Keighley Union, for the purpose of injuring his character, and crushing him as a Member of the House of Commons,' Mr. Ferrand being the chairman of the board of guardians of the union. Mr. Ferrand was present, and occupied a seat next his counsel. Mr. MARTIN, Q C., showed cause against the rule. He said in the summer of last year a Committee was appointed by the House of Commons to in vestigate certain charges which had been mad e with respect to the management of the Andover Union. It was during the sittings . of this Committee that the two letters complained of appeared in the Times. Re ports of the evidence adduced before the CoMmittee ap peared from day to day in the newspapers, and thus came under the notice of Mr. Ferrand. A few days be fore the first letter was written a Mr. Parker, who had been on a Government Poor-law Commission, but who had been dismissed on account of some proceedings with respect to the Andover Union, and Mr. Chadwick, who held the office of Secretary to the Commissioners, were examined before this Committee. The first letter was written by Mr. Ferrand on reading a report of the evidence given by these gentlemen. (The Learned Counsel then read the letter, which stated that he (Mr. Ferrand) had been unable to attend his Parlia mentary duties on account of indisposition, but that he had watched the proceedings of the Andover Committee with the most intense interest, and that the feelings ,of every Hon. Member of the House of Commons must revolt at the evidence ad duced before the Committee on the preceding Saturday, as it was distinctly proved that part of tho statement made in the House of Commons by Sir James Graham, reflecting severely on his conduct, was false.. Further disclosures were prevented by the chairman requesting Mr. Parker to confine his answers to the matter before the Committee ; and when further observations with respect to the Keighley union were made, Mr. Manners Sutton ordered the room to be cleared. The letter went on to state that be should prove that Mr. Mott was merely the tool of Mr. Lewis, that the whole business was nothing more than a conspiracy on the part of Sir James Graham and Mr. Lewis, in order to " crush him " (%Ir. Ferrand). The second letter stated that Mr. Lewis had been guilty of the most deliberate falsehood, in order to deceive the House of Commons, and in order to rescue his confidential friend, Sir James Graham, from the infamy that awaited him.) From these letters it appeared that Mr. Lewis was charged with having assisted in getting a report made by Mr. Mott which contained false statements, and that, knowing them to be false, he delivered the' report to Sir. James Graham, to be used by him in his place in the House of Commons, and that the report was so used. . Sir FREDERICK THESIGER said that was not all. His Learned Friend should read the last passage. Mr. MARTIN did so. The letters went on to state that the whole proceeding was a false and infamous conspiracy, on the part of Mr. Lewis and Sir James Graham, to crush him (Mr. Ferrand) in the House of Commons. The second letter further stated that Mr. Lewis, when examined before the Andover Committee, made a false statement with respect to the reports on the condition of the Keighley Union. Mr. Lewis had stated that Mr. Mott was sent down to Keighley in consequence of a notice of motion entered by Mr. Ferrand in the notice book of the House of Commons, for an address to the Crown to rescind an order of the Poor-law Commissioners with respect to the union, which. Mr. Ferrand denied, as his motion was not made until June ' whereas Mr. Mott's report was dated the 23d of April. Mr. Lewis stated that he had no com munication with Sir J. Graham before desiring Mr. Mott to visit the union. Sir J. Walsham sent down to make a similar investigation, in order to test the accuracy of Mr. Mott's report, and a Committee was appointed on the 28th of June to investigate the subject, and made their report on the 15th of July. The affidavit of Mr. Lewis stated that he did not direct Mr. Mott to make a false report, and that he believed it to be strictly true; that he did not carry it to Sir James Graham knowing it to be false, and that he had never conspired with Sir James Graham for the purpose of prejudicing Mr. Fer rand or any other person; and Mr. Mott in his affidavit denied that he received any instructions from Mr. Lewis or any other person, to make a special or colourable re port. When Mr. Lewis was examined before the An dover Committee he stated that Mr. Mott was sent down to Keighley in consequence of the motion of Mr. Ferrand, but on the 11 th of August, after the second letter was published, he went before the Committee, and explained that he meant Si r John Waltham, and not Mr. Mott. What, must he asked, have been the state of a sanguine man's mind, or even the state of mind of a cool-minded man on reading the evidence given by Mr. Lewis ? Why, believing that he had been cruelly injured, that Mr. Mott had been directed to furnish a false report, and that the statement of Mr. Lewis confirmed him in his belief, to take the earliest and most public opportunity of wiping away the imputations which had been cast upon him by Sir James Graham on the strength of these reports. The power placed in the hands of their Lordships, of enabling persons who felt themselves aggrieved to come forward v ial ne proceedings, gdenotbatm itadwea s t s he uonl r c es e which subservient ei cnh - t ors r a t noh a r n e c o d 7i ttultehlrrlriduevfsteis,i feeling le w d gniedjn i a c tug s h a hcr : e a u ' t i v oabul by these edldayribssvAltauieliwdlsreipeau.ssdrsafeyiLis not Lewis, v w eia h s c, .who Courtacteduwaht actuated dst whose that ,aai‘,name y r personal conscientiously.errsrowann was eey towards sseof °euiti ignorant of, until he saw it in the Times of August last; and that he was induced to write the letter in question whilst in a frame of mind which would have induced not only a sanguine, but a cool-minded man, who believed the statement of Mr. Lewis to be true, to act in a similar manner. If he should satisfy their Lordships that the letters were written under these circumstances, he appre hended they would consider that Mr. Lewis had a fear op portuuity of vindicating his character by the proceedings he had already ialsen, and that they would, discharge the rule. He had no wish to , speak of Mr Lewis with any harshness, but he thought he could point out that in this matter he had not acted with that fairness which the public had a right to expect from a per son filling the situation he did. This would be more evident when he stated that Mr. Lewis put into Sir James Graham's hands the statements which were undoubtedly false, and that he kept other statements back, which would have shown the report of Mr. Mott to be false, and that when Sir James Graham and Mr. Lewis were in possession of Sir John Wal sham's and of previous reports with respect to the union, that Mr. Mott's report was alone used. Mr. Lewis could scarcely be considered to have acted fairly by putting forward the statement of Mr. Mott alone, when others were in his possession,. which, to say the least of them, were contrary to that report. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read the affidavit of Mr. Ferrand. It stated that he was elected a Member of Parliament in 1841, and that he had formed a very strong opinion as to the impolicy of the New Poor-law, as he or any other man had a perfect right to do; and that he was returned to Parliament on the express statement made by him that he would use the influence of his position to obtainthe abolition of that law. Early that session he received a communication from Sir James Graham, stating that he wished to see him. On waiting on him, Sir James Graham stated, on the . part of the Government, that they were Anxious that he should abstain from opposing the New Poor-law. He replied that he could not do so, as his conscientious andue madethat h a e m h et a i d en pl t e e dg r e e d aei b e i d s Commissioners of tho 30 th of ocaopniiiff ordersitoitnuse n w e t f e s r t e t h o e opposeagainsti a i tw. it, f June he made a s p eech in opption Bill April, 18 42 , but afterwards abandoned it. to Oa n the e l e 7 e th - I i o nected with some alteration of the Poor-law ;_and it was on that occasion that Sir James Graham producer his report of Mr. Mott. Sir John Walsham had Mr. Ferrand, imputing to him the mostdishonourable chairman oft he report on the 9th, and made a most conduct, stating that in his capacity of Idl lk eu o n union, create bus and i n a e s a f o m r a t g h i e s a attorneys,teh e h anddone t al h l e h e h a c d o u m aid o e certain regulations for the purpose of creating new ex penses. He stated that there was not the slightest truth in any of these charges—that they were most cruel and unjust, and that he rose immediately after Sir James Graham and stated so. Th is debate took place on the 17th of m June eah , ave whenbothbeeein SpeirsseJeasmieenseGfGrahamehanndw balir.. L sham's report. The grea t complaints of Mr. Ferrand up to the present time was, that although they were in possession of many other reports at the time, Mr.liotts, which cast upon him the grossest possible imputations, was used. The affidavit concluded by stating that the report of Mr. Mott was untrue, and that the committee had so decided. He then read the affidavit of Mr. Patratmrekninedrge,dthste th e that the statement of Mr. F errand was correct; of M r . M ac d ona ld, the Times reporter, w ho evidence vi committee , ro.n Parker,tti e and Andover t ft y r n c i o on m , in c e o n n t- - con firming on the material facts, he conc l u ded by calling upon the Court, under the circumstances, to discharge the rule. Mr. Boovux followed on the same ,side. He dwelt upon the fact that when Mr. Ferrand took the matter up it had appeared in the Times, and although the appear ance of such a statement in a newspaper would be no justification for a libel, it showed that Mr. Ferrand had taken it up on public grounds, and that it had become a public question, that no copy had been kept of the in structions given to Sir John Walsharn in opposition to the Poor-law Act ; that on the 17th of June, when Mr. Mott's report . was produc ed, that Mr. Lewis had been the cause of alt the injury which Mr. Ferrand had sustained, and tro fisted the Court would not make the rule absolute. Sir F. THESIGER then addressed the Cc )urt in support of the rule. He said he had listened with regret to the speeches of his learned friends, because ti hroughout the whole of their addresses, they had dome all in their power to maintain the charges Mr. Nerrand had made ; but he deeply and sincercely - regretted that Mr. Ferrand had not found some one calm enough to advise him to adopt a different course) - than the one he had adopted—not to add to the venom of the sting he had inflicted, but to make some atonerner for the injury he had done to the character of Mr. :Lewis. Now, it appeared that Mr. Mott was not directed to visit the union until the middle of March, 1842, at which time F,-rraml had ' not eon= eneed. hie) duties as chairman until the 30th of Mare b; and when he did visit it, -he did so in pursuance of an order from Mr. Lewis, who was informed that many- irregularities pre- Tailed in the union. The practice and the act in. itself was perfectlyt legitimate, and the. report, Mr. Ferrand's common sense must tell him, was not of Mr. Lewis, but for the Poor Law Commissioners to act upon, and they did act upon it, and issued the order which Mr. Ferrand had sought to rescind, and when the matter was before Sir James Graham he did that which at onc e showed that there was nothing at all to induce the belief that he had embarked in a conspiracy to obtain a fabri cated repor, and that he had acted as an honourable man occupying .a high position in the Administration of the affairs of the country, he suggested the propriety of of sending Sir John Walshans to Keighley, who was in its neighbourhood. Surely Mr. Ferrand must see that this conduct on the part of Sir James Graham was entirely opposed to anything like a conspiracy. Mr. Ferrand had stated in his affi davit that the committee on Mr. Mott's report was not an impartial one, and that those who voted in the majority were supporters of the:Government. This was a matter of which the Court could take no cognisance, and he only mentioned it to show how sweeping and indiscriminate werc the assertions of Mr. Ferrand. Then he stated that Mr. Mott's report " was a false report, and that it was backed by another folk report" (Sir John Walsham's), which would seem to infer that Sir John Walsham had been also directed to furnish a fabricated report, but the Committee held that the reports con firmed each other in all their material allegations, except that some of the statem en t s i n Si r J o h n Walsham's report were too general, and required qualification. Why this alone was sufficient to convince any half.reasoned man that there was no con spiracy, for if there had been the reports would no doubt have tallied to the letter. Then, again, he stated that he was prevented from examining Mr. Mott when he was before the Committee. Very great credulity was necessary to induce any one to give credence to such a statement, because Mr. Mott was called before the Committee, for the purpose of being examined, and it was Mr. Ferrard's duty, as one of the Committee, to take a part i n th a t investigation. His Learned Friend talked of Mr. Ferrard's violent pas sions, but was it to be said, that because a man had a violent temper that he was to be allowed to run his head against any one he chose? At a meeting at Leeds he made the statements with respect to the report, and added that Sir James Graham had broken his tool, hut the House of Commons subsequently voted the charge " calumnious and false." (The case was proceeding when our report left.) BAIL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. HEALEY. Mr. HUDDLESTONE moved to enlarge a rule which had been obtained by Mr. Bramwell for a criminal informa tion, on the part of Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., against the editor of a paper called the Medical Times, for a libel. The affidavits stated that there were likely to arise from the proceedings many facts, which it would be necessary to bring under the notice of the Court, and which, owing to the lateness of the term, it would be impossible to get up in sufficient time. Mr. BRAMWELL could offer no objection, if his Lord ship thought the grounds for the enlargement sufficiently strong.—Application granted. THE QUEEN V. Mr. MOODY moved for a writ of certiorari- directed to the magistrates of the county of Cornwall to remove an indictment which was to be preferred at the quarter sessions for that county against the defendant for steal ing oysters from an oyster bed. Ilia Lordship was aware that a prosecution of this nature would be at tended with peculiar difficulties as the property was taken from an arm of the sea, and it would be necessary to prove the title of the prosecutor to the oy s t er gr ounds and his power of defeating . the general right of any sub ject to take fish between high and low water mark. The magistrates before whom the case eatue before were aware of the difficulty of this so rt of case, and they en tertained it with the view of having i t removed by writ of certiorari.—Rule nisi granted. THE QUEEN v. EDWARD LUTDIAN. Mr. PHINN moved for a rule for a quo warranto call ing on Edward Lutman to show cause why and by what authority he exercised the office of town councilor of Bath. The affidavits stated that there being two vacancies in the town council, three candidates presented themselves, Messrs. Lutman, Archer, and Crutwell; the votes polled were, Archer, 212; Lutman, 212; and Crutwell, 210. After the election it was found that a very exten sive system of personation had taken place, and under the Act a number of votes given for Archer and Lutman were invalid, and therefore that Mr. Crutwell was at the head of the poll.—Application granted. larcen, Mr. DUNCAN said that his Honour would clearly per ceive, that supposing an action was brought in Scotland for the same debt, no plea in bar could be raised on the discharge under this Act. The rejection of this debt would seduce the amount. The point of liability being reserved, the insolvent was questioned as to the amount of the debt, and said that he could not deny the correctness of the invoice. The Learned COMMISSIOIIER said that the invoice could not be received in evidence at all. The insolvent had sworn to the best of his belief as to the amount of his debt, and to make it greater, or to prove the invoice, witnesses must prove the delivery of the goods. Mr. BUCHANAN then produced the beer and spirit licenses granted to the insolvent by the name of John B. Walker, and contended this was a holding out to the world a fictitious name, which must be taken as fraud, and would prevent the Court from exercising a power of granting an order. The insolvent said that he had not given the name for the purposes of fraud or concealment, but being known by both names he had, in answer to the Excise officers, given the name. Mr. DUNCAN argued that no deceit could be inferred in this case, where a man was so well knoe n to the world. If, however, the Scotch creditors had complaint against " John, or Johnny Walker," they had no right to complain in England of the conduct of John Badman. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the insolvent ap peared to have been well known in both names, there fore he could not allow the objection. Interim order granted. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The Recorder, Mr. Alderman Challis, and Mr. Alder man Wilson sat in this Court. The Court was occupied the whole morning with cases of petty larceny. NEW COURT. Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Alderthan Sir W. MAGNAY.) All the cases tried in this Court today were of the most trivial character, being cases chiefly of petty MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. _ (THIS DAY_) The November adjourned sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, when the calendar presented the names of seventy-one persons, sixty-two of whom were charged with felony. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, said it was with regret that he felt compelled again to allude to a subject which bad long occupied his attention, and which, he feared, must almost now be more than familiar with the gentlemen of the grand jury, he meant the more than n3ual number of juvenile criminals appearing in the calendar, in propor tion to the adults. Out of 71 cases to be brought before the grand jury, no less than 24 were of children be tween the ages of nine and fourteen, and one or two between that and seventeen. • It was truly painful to witness these cases ; arid he sincerely hoped that next session of Parliament would not be suffered to pass away, without the attention of the Legislature being directed to a subject of such deep import to the moral welfare of society, as well as in a social point of view, because it must be evident to every man of ordinary elo- servation, that the alternate routine of thieving and im - prisonment, compelled by the present state of the law, was neither a protection to property, an example to the depraved, nor a means of reforming the criminal. John James Underwood, a miserable-looking man, about sixty years of age, pleaded guilty to a n indict ft with h stealing a directors leather o f the poorsling, of value st. g r o b i) i e m r t y w o i 2 m e e . n 6 t d c . h , a therg pn Pancras parish. The prisoner, in extenuation of his offence, urged that before he took the sling he had made several applica tions to the relieving officer for assistance, but without effect, although he told him that he was actually famish ing through hunger. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said, under the cir cumstances, he should only sentence the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment. Thomas Cosgrave was found Guilty of stealing a quan tity of iron, the property of his employer, William Taylor, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Ann Clarke was indicted for stealing a gold watch, the property of Thomas Littler. The prosecutor, who seemed far advanced in years, and described himself as a merchant-tailor, said he met the prisoner, on the morning of the 17th instant, about two o'clock, and after talking to him for a short time in a hall,into which ho said she forced him, he missed his watch, which was subsequently found upon the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said as it appeared that the prisoner bad been convicted of s similar offence about eight months ago, he should now senteage her to be transported for ten years. MARLBRAY-STREET.—(THIS DAY. . George Smith and F. S. Breewood were charged with riot and assault in the coffee-house, 265, Oxford-street. James Stewart, the proprietor of the coffee-house, said the two prisoners and some others came into his house about half-past three o'clock, and ordered coffee and bread and butter and cheroots for Silt.. Complainant, on their receiving these articles, asked for payment. Sinith, the defendant, said " that's the payment I'll give you," and threw the contents of a cup of coffee into his (complainant's) face. Complainant struck him a back stroke in the face, got up on the seat and collared Smith, and Breewood then dealt him several severe blows about the head. Complainant went out and called the police, and when he returned he found the defendants in con flict with his waiter. The prisoner Breewood struck witness in the chest. They were given into custody, and in the struggle several articles of crockery-ware:and the glass in the door were smashed to pieces, to the amount of 10/. in value. Several witnesses were called, who corroborated his evidence. The prisoners denied the charge, and called a witness, who, on the testimony of the police, was more violent than any present, and would have been taken into cus tody had there been force enough. Mr. LONG said they must pay 40s. each for the assault or go one month to the House of Correction. Michael Connor, Mary Slater, and Pat Hannan, were charged with assault in the Victoria public-house, Castle street, Oxford-street. John Williams, being sworn, said, the three prisoners and some others came into his father's house, the Victoria, last night about half-past eleven o'clock, and called for a pint of rum. Ills father refused to serve them. They told him if he would serve them they would go out quietly, otherwise they would not go out of the house. He then drew a pint of rum, and, holding it in his hand, asked for the payment. Connor snatched the measure out of his hand and drank off half the con tents; the female then had it, and drank the rest. His father again asked for payment. Connor then struck the landlord on the breast with the measure, and parties went out and gave Connor into custody of a policeman. The female at this time seized a pewter measure off the bar and threw it at witness's mother, whom it struck in the chest; she threw a two-quart jug and a quart pewter pot at her. This done, she smashed two gas glasses and set the taps running. She then went up and assaulted the barmaid, scratching her face, and tearing off her hair by handfuls. Elizabeth Jones, the barmaid, said she had been eleven years in the same house, and on the night in question tale prisoners came in and acted as had been stated. She !then took off her bonnet by desire of the Court, and ex hibited the one side of her head almost as bare as the palm of the hand, contrasting strangely with the other dde, which was well covered with hair. Police-constable E 118 said he took Connor into cus tody, and the other male prisoner, with the female, came out and rescued him, and took him into the public-house e gain. The constable followed, and was struck by the defendant Hannan when proceeding to take Connor , a gain into custody. Mr. LONG said, Connor, for the assault on Mr. Wil lianas, must pay 405., or go one month to the House of Correction ; Hannan, for assaulting the policeman, 405., or .one month's imprisonment ; but the female, for this b.ru tal and horrible assault on the barmaid, must pay 51., or „go two months to the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY.) Catherine Watson was charged, with another female (notincustody)with stealing 461. 125., from the person of Mr. Thomas Davies, a salesman of Leadenhall-market. - Prosecutor, who lives at Dockhead, said that about two o'clock that morning, he was proceeding along Tooley-street to Leadenhall-market with 461. 12s. in his trowsers pocket. When near King's Head-yard, he was suddenly pounced upon by the prisoner and another female, one of whom pinioned his arms, while the other put her hand in his pocket , and rifled it of its contents. Ile, however, disengaged her arms, and secured the pri soner, but her companion made her escape with all his money. lie could distinctly swear to the other should abe be apprehended. Mr. SECKER asked whether the oney was loose in his pockets, and the reply being in th m e affirmative, he said that it was really alarming the extent to which robbery of the person by females was careied . on in the locality of this court, and tha t it was quite time such a gang should be broken up and sent out of the country. • The Magistrate then remanded the prisoner, to give an opportunity for apprehending the other woman con cerned in the robbery. TUE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT ISLINGTON.--At Clerkenwell Police-court, yesterday, George Wilmot, dins George Smith, was brought before Mr. Green ly ood for further examination, charged with having at teinpted to murder Mrs. Susannah Haines, the wife of Mr. James Haines, plumber and glazier, of Paradise terr ac", Liverpool-road, Islington. Mr. Greenwoo d in quired as to the present state of Mrs. Haines, or whether the of.'fier had brought a surgeon's certificate ? Ser geant Lioward, 22 N, produced a certificate from B thir. Haines, surg eon, of the Liverpool-road, purporting at the injured woman was still confined to her bed in a bad state, a nd it would be uns afe for her to attend at the Court ' in less than a week. Mr. Greenwood, addressing the prisoner, said it was not necessary for him to require the attenda nce of Mrs. Haines, as they had already taken down her deposition ; but if she should die, the charge will br a very serious one. Ile should, therefore, remand the pisoner for another week. A new WAY' OF HEARING T:FLE NEWS.—A fellow climbed one of the poles of the ek ctric telegraph, in West Kent, the other day, and applieti his ear to the wires, in order to hear the news.—Dover Tekgraph. We are enabled to , 1 - 1 that our exoeil l ept P. W. S. Miles, Esq., lout to hYmenmi • altar ono of the lovely and accomplished daktgbters of Major-General Sir W. F. B. Napier, IA ti,teuP t " Governor of Guernsey,--Bristol Mirror, EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) MEREDITH V. HOLMAN. In this case Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered for the plain tiff, or a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection. The cause was tried a few days since before Mr. Baron Platt, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff for two se parate sums, of 325. and 101. It appeared that the defendant had delivered forty sacks of coals to plaintiff, thirty-two of which were defi cient in weight. The plaintiff brought this action to recover the penalties, which were assessed by the jury at the rate of ls. per sack. The second count of the declaration charged the defendant with sending out the coals in question without a ticket properly signed with the name of the seller of the coals. Upon this count a penalty of 101. was imposed by the jury. Mr. M. CHAMBERS now moved, pursuant to leave re served at the trial, to enter a nonsuit, upon the ground that the coals were not weighed in the mode prescribed by . Act of Parliament, the mode in which they were weighed baying been by placing upon one side of the scale the weights and an empty sack, and upon the other the coals and the full sack, the Act expressly stating that the coals in the sacks should be first weighed, and afterwards the empty sacks. Upon the second count the Court ruled, that as the pe nalty imposed by the Act did not exceed 201. the Court had no jurisdiction. The Court granted a rule for a nonsuit upon the first count, on the ground that the coals were not weighed according to Act of Parliament. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships gave judgment this morning in the following cases ;.--. GIBBS AND ANOTHER V. FLIGHT AND ANOTHER. Mr. Justice COLTMAN delivered the judgment of the Court in this well-known case. This was an action in trover brought against the defendants for the detention of certain books alleged to belong to the plaintiffs as the churchwardens of the parish of Walbrook. The de fendants were two of the rate-payers of the said parish, who disputed the legality o f th e election of the plaintiffs. The principal point raise& by the case, which now came before the Court in the shape of demurrer, which had been argued in a previous term, was, whether the plaintiffs were the churchwardens of the said parish on the 12th of April, 1844, or in other terms, w h e ther the re-election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs on that day was valid or not, he having been junior churchwarden the year before. By the custom of the parish, there were two church wardens elected every year from the body of the parish ioners, and the select vestry was made up of the p ast and present churchwardens so elected. It was stated in the records of the parish that from the year 1648 to 1734 one churchwarden was elected every year, in the manner before described, and such churchwarden was junior churChwarden for that year, and became senior churchwarden for the next. This was so during the above period, with the exception of from 1660 to 1672, which was immaterial to the case, and this was the period of the great fire of London. From 1734 to 1775, and from thence to 1824, the order of proceed ings was the same, with but four exceptions. The mode of election named must, therefore, be pronounced to be the custom of the parish. The succession of junior churchwarden to the office of senior churchwarden would, therefore, be stopped, if that office was allowed to remain in the possession of one person for many years ; and the number of the select vestry would also be reduced so as to be ineffectual for useful purposes. The decision of the Court, therefore, was, that the re-election of Mr. Alderman Gibbs to the office of senior churchwarden, on the day in question was not valid, and that a nonsuit must be entered. In giving this judgment, his Lordship said his brethren, Mr. Justice Maule, Mr. Justice Cresswell, and Mr. Justice Erie, concurred. - Mr. COWEN applied to have a special verdict entered, instead of a nonsuit. The parties could agree as to the facts to be entered. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD objected. Ho considered it would be unreasonable to enter a sptcial verdict. Mr. COWEN said it was reserved to either party to enter a special verdict. Mr. Justice COLTMAN—That must depend on the facts found. There must be a nonsuit. NOnsuit entered accord ingly. WOOLEY V.

She is now putting forward strong and undeniable claims to be considered the Queen of the Dance also. Carlotta Grisi and Cerito by birth, Taglioni by descent, are numbered among her daughters ; and to these must now be added Sophie Fuoco, the beautiful, elegant, fas cinating Milanese, who bids fair at no distant period to surpass all her rivals. She repeated the character of Betty, in the ballet of The Wags of Wapping, and the more we see of her the more do we feel convinced that the day is not very far distant when Sophie Fuoco will be hailed as "pas excellence," the Deeise de la Dance. She at once takes her place among choerographit artistes, as a genius, the originator.of a school and of a style. It is true, that in speaking of her characteresties, we must comiare her to the originators of other schools, and say that she approaches nearer to the school of Ellsler and Carlotte Grisi, than she does to any other, but then the style of Mademoiselle Fuoco differs to a much greater extent from that of either of those two great artistes, than they differ from (me another, and yet no one would think of classing Carlotta Grisi as of the school of any of her predecessors. She has formed a school of her own, so has Mademoiselle Fuoco, and ere long her disciples will be far more numerous than even those of Carlotta Grisi. Ease, grace and elegance, are, the great characteristics of Sophie Fuoco, and she pos sesses a muscular power which is astonishing in one so light, so lovely, and so sylphlike. For instance, what can surpass in grace and elegance that wonderful art which she performs entirely on the points of her toes,. it is grace and elegance personified, and it is not until that pas is finished that the spectator, on reflection, be comes aware of the immense muscular power that must have been put in action during the performance of this unique and unrivalled feat of choerographic art. Her acting too is beautiful. There is an cspicgle simpli-, city—a naive coquetry about her impersonation of the character of Copp's niece, that is perfectly bewitching, and to add to her fa cinations, she possesses those two powerful magnets of attractions, youth and beauty. No wonder then that she has created a furore in France and Italy, and still less wonder that the furore is surpassed by the entht.Wam which she excites every, night of her appearance at Drury Lane. The engan•c-, ment of Sophie Fuoco is decidedly the greatest hit Mr. Bunn has yet made. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—FRENCH PLAYS. M. Perlet was to have made his debut here last even ing but in consequence of the continu ed indis p osition of the first of artists, his debut was unavoidably postponed. En Revanche we had Mademoiselle Brohan in three pieces—in Le Roman dune keure, and in Les Bivaux d'eux mamas, and in Le Bonhomme Richard. The last piece, which was produced for the first time on Friday, is one of the best of modern French vaudevilles. It was only produced in Paris during the last few days of Sep:‘ tember, and the fact of it being produced at St. James's, so early in the season, is a proof of the enterprise of Mr. Mitchell in catering for the amusement of his patrons. Le Bonhomme, Richard (admirably acted by Cartigny) is a cotton manufacturer in the provinces of France, a true Utilitarian, who swears by Franklin, and is constantly quoting " Poor Richard" as the modern Solomon. Re has a nephew, a certain Mons. Ovide, who has been domiciled in Paris to learn the mercantile usages of the capital. But M. Ovide has a taste. He forms a liason with an slave du conservatoire, whose friend Fanfinette (Mademoiselle 13rohan) is the most espiegle, and at the same time the most open-hearted of soubrettes. Le Bonhomme Richard receives from his Parisian correspondent most awful accounts of the doings of Ovide. He frequents the society of Lions, and incon testibly the good country relations imagine that he must be either a Van Amburgh or a sacrifice to the carnivor ous propensities of the wild beasts of the desert, but when the letter goes on to state that he frequents divans, his uncle concludes that he must be turned Turk, and determines to proceed at once to Paris, to reclaim him. The uncle arrives, and finds Ovide in all his glory. Ovide shams sick, but the uncle soon finds out the sham. Ilia serious lectures are, however, inter rupted by the espeigle Fanfinette (Mdlle. Brohan), who invites him to supper, coaxes him into accepting the invitation, and by her fascinations, aided by sundry glasses of champagne, completely gets round Bonhomme Richard, who discovers that there are other things in the world worth living for besides getting money. The acting of Mademoiselle Brohan throughout this scene was the ne plus ultra of artistical excellence. She coaxed, she wheedled the old man with the most fascinating air in the world. It was impossible to resist her frequent invitations to take wine, and then her laugh was unapproachable. We have many good laughers on the stage—one lady excels in the simper, another in the sneer, another in the conventional hysteric spasm of the respiratory organs, which gives what the Americans would call "a pretty considerable good imitation of a laugh," but none approach to Mademoiselle Brohan ; hers is the honest, jocund, ab solutely infectious " Raw ! haw haw 1" which, with a silvery ring, resounds through the house, and sets all who hear her laughing for very sympathy. Cartigny in this scene was admirable. Ile is fascinated with the charming Fanfinette in spite of himself, and at last dis covers that there is something more worth living for than is tiught by the theories of mere utilitarians. The moral of this piece, which is elicited by contrasts, is ex cellent. It teaches us that neither mere utilitarianism nor mere gaits de ccsur is sufficient for human happiness, but that for the judicious admixture of all the qualities of the human mind, sentimentalism, utilitarianism, and love of enjoyment, results common sense, that great — that transcendant quality most praised, yet seldom ap preciated, but which when reached is the perfection alike of genius, of success, and of happiness. The house was well and fashionably attended. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. There was a very fair attendance yesterday afternoon, and several horses were in demand for the Derby. The three leading favourites, bowever, were not of the number, and we may pass at once to the Sister to Cob web colt, Allertonian, Glentilt, Lunedale, and Old Port, who were in good favour with several parties. Glentilt and Lunedale at 30 to 1 and 1,000 to 30, and the others at the odds quoted. The outlay on the Sister to Cob web colt "must have exceeded 600/., a large , sum to invest at this period, and, we may add, a large sum to invest without malting any impres sion on the market, for the layers were numerous, and, as it appeared to us, not quite exhausted. 1,000 to 25 each were laid three or four times against Tantivy, the Marpessa Colt, and Conyngham; 1,000 to 20 each against. Red Hart, Projectile, and Christopher; and a few other bets of small amount, at the prices re turned. One very liber al bet was laid against West India Planter, but the market laying price may be fair3y taken at 1,000 to 15. The Military Steeple Chase to come off at Leamington was not mentioned in the room, but we were informed that 8 to 1 was taken outside about Peter Simple, 20 to 1 about the Red Lancer, and 2 to 1 offered against the Switcher.

Several months ago, a gentleman of very captivating manners took up, as many of our readers will very well remember, his temporary abode at the King's Head Hotel, in this city, under the name and title of the Hon. Captain Wyndham. It will also be remembered that he made a somewhat precipitate retreat, after having honoured some of our banks with a. kind of patronage not altogether profitable or agreeable. He was subse- WyOham, and at quently heard of at Slough, at Windsor, and various other places, sometimes as Capta other times as Captain Wellesley ; but for Name molar past his names and deeds have not been before the pu - lie. This is now accounted for—he died—a'sit has transpired, on the 20th of June last. . We are intOrmed that when inquiries were rather urgent a s . to his whseEe hwandenicne, somewhen measure abouts, he shrouded hfirtself in the great inetropoe'ls) e c fame e his.tled, banker's cheques, &c., he departed into Wales, and took with him a young female. The character he assumed Lvvas that of a lover of the picturesqu e , an d h e an d hi s c ompanion started on the romantic tour of the Wy e , to gether for some distance, wh en the g-entleman, while fishing in the ab ove b eau tif u l r i ver , - e ‘ fL ught a violent cold, and was compelled to take to bed fh: an inn. medical man was sent for, who at once int.lrmea the supposed wife that her husband's condition was ,!iopeless, and that he was in fact on the very point of death. The female thereupon acknowledged that she was not a wife, and that her male companion was an entire stranger ,to her till they encountered each other a few weeks pre viously in London, and that she did not know who he was or who were his relatives. The fears of the physi cian were soon realized—the stranger tourist died almost immediately, and on examining his luggage, in order to ascertain who his friends were, that the mournful event of his demise might be communicated to theia, there were found the engraved copperplates of two address cards, in the well-known names of Wyndluu.‘ and Wellesley, together with an itinerary of the various towns and places which he bad visited, with the names of the different banks, &c., which had honoured his fraudulent cheques. We believe the search also afforded information as to his real name and connexions; and we deeply regret that our tale should have to include the very melancholy incident that on his death being communicated to his sister, the effect was most seriously injurious to her feelings, and she also died within a fortnight. We are also given to understand that the real name of the deceased swindler was Page ; that he was of very respecttlble connexions in tille neigh bouring county of Hereford, where he has a brother living in affluent circumstances, and of high repuotion; and that the deceased was formerly in the army, which accounts for his assuming so well the military cla,v. raeter, and for the knowledge : of military persons' and mil) tary incidents which he turned to so good account in his late dishonourable adventurous career. He was married, and has ft s. wife and two children in desti tute circumstances; heir misfortunes, we are happy to hear, have excite the sympathy of a female relative of the deceased, and she has undertaken to provide for them. Thus ends, so far as we are able to disclose it, the " strange and eventful history " of the Non. Captain Wyndham, alias ',Captain Wellesley, alias Mr. Page, whose career affords another illustration ofy wardness of human nature, and the misdirecti s.an of the wa in genuity and talent to purposes of fraud and dislli..`aestY) which ingenuity , and talent, properly applied, n: fight have made their possessor an ornament to and a value:lle member of society; and the wretched termination of his career, " in the worst inn's worst room," an outcast from honourable society, and without relative or friend to soothe and cheer his last moments, suggests a moral. which we hope will not be entirely lost on others who are pursuing a similar career of duplicity and crime. 7-- Gloucester Journal IMMENSE LOSS OF PROPERTY ON BOARD THE AJAX STEAMER. This noble ship returned to port this morning, sifter experiencing the effects of the gale on Thursday night, and suffering much from its severity. Indeed were it not for the great strength and superior qualities of the vessel, and the prompt and judicious exertions of her commander, Captain Mowle, it is most likely that very disastrous results would have followed. The Ajax left the quays at four o'clock on Thursday for London with a very large cargo, principally consist ing of live stock and provisions. Until she had welt cleared the harbour there were no indications of its coming on to blow hard, but about eleven o'clock at night, when she was forty miles from the land, the storm rose with tremendous fury, and heavy seas struck the vessel with such force as to tear away the bowsprit and smash in the forecastle deck. The stairs on the paddle boxes were at once carried away, and the flooring of the deck under the mate's berth also stove in. The vessel, having a. very heavy deck load of cattle, &c., it was found necessary' that she should be lightened as much as possible, and accordingly out of 120 sheep on deck, all but nine were thrown over board—the pigs were next thrown over to the number of ninety, and then as many as could be of the bullocks and cattle ; but from the terror and con fusion of the deck passengers, of whom there was an im mense number, sufficient assistance could not be had to throw them overboard, and the poor animals were killed or smothered. Out of ninety-three head of cattle on board only twenty were this morning landed alive. The fury of the gale continued till day-break, the ship be having nobly all through, when the captain put back and, laying to pif the harbour all night, in consequence of the number of ships in Cove and the river, he arrived at the quays this morning, with all on board in a miserable " plight. The poor passengers suffered the greatest hard ships, and their appearance when landing was most heart rending, many of them being bruised, their clothes torn and their limbs swollen from being crushed together during the greater part of the time. The deck re sembled one vast slaughter-house, animals of every kind lying dead and bleeding all about. The violence of the storm and the force with which the seas struck the ves sel may be judged of from the fact that one of the chain boxes, weighing six tons, was carried off the rail it is usually moved upon from one side of the deck to another, and thrown on two pigs, who were literally crushed to atoms under its weight. Men are all day employed nn loading the dead cattle, and removing them. They MN re principally shipped, we understand, by Mr. Jas. Adams, though not all on his own account, and by Mr. P. Murphy and son, whose loss no doubt will be considor able. A great number of the cattle and sheep also be longed to Mr. Connolly, an extensive grazier and cattle dealer, near Kilmallock. Fortunately, no loss of human life occurred, and the injuries which the ship sustained are of a nature that will admit of being speedily re paired.--Cork Southern Reporter of Saturday. Archdeacon Shirley has been appointed to the Bishopric of Sodor and - Man. WISBEACIL—STRINGE FATALITY.--During the last few weeks Mrs. Rowell, of Town-end, has lost her whole family by typhus fever. The death of her husband was just published in our obituary, and now we have the melancholy task of stating that her two daughters, from ten to twelve years of age, and her last-born son, three years old, have each fallen (a few days apart from the other) victims to this messenger of death, while the mournful widow is in an advanced state of pregnancy. It is a singular circumstance that Mr. Howell was in a profuse perspiration,.in the act of catching a runaway horst, when he took cold, and was heard to say that he I should die the death of his father, which was brought on in a similar manner, by running after a horse which had escaped from his owner—both cases terminating in death by fever.—Cambridge Independent Press. A few days back, a billiard-table, that had been carried away by the late inundation of the Loire, was found in a field near Blois. It belonged to a caii in a little commune near Orleans, 15 or 20 leagues from the spot where it was found.—Galignani. ELGIN BURGHS. — Sir A.

DANGER OF LUCIFER MATCHES. —Yesterday after noon, about four o'clock, an accident, which was nearly attended with fatal consequences, occurred to a little girl about ten years of age, named Sarah Griffiths, residing in Park-street, Kennington. Her mother had gone to take her husband his tea, and during her ab sence her daughter reached some lucifer matches from a shelf in the room, and was playing with them, when some of them ignited, and set fire to her pinafore. A woman living next door, on bearing her screams, ran to her assistance, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The child was so severely burnt about the arms and legs that it was thought necessary to convey her to a surgeon's close by, who dressed her wounds. It is ex pected she will recover. THE EXPLOSION AT OLDDURY.—An inquest on the bodies of the two sufferers by the explosion in Mr. Par ker's pit, at Oldbury, was held yesterday at Dadle3r.

He proceeded to consider the state of music generally, and the state of the theatrical pro fessioh, at the commencement of the reign of George the Third. At the period alluded to, glee writing under that name . commenced, stimulated by the Catch Club, which was established some time previously. At first it was confined to bacchanalian purposes, but gradually, as these compositions improved in character, they were introduced into the most polished circles, and formed a prominent feature in the best concerts. Attention was then drawn to several operas, which were, at the period more immediately under consideration, the princip al favourites with the public, and Artaxer xes was chosen for the purpose of illustration.
