JANUARY 15, ,818 Measures were ye,terday adventured upon for the purpose of ensuring a legal investigation into the conduct of the Vicar- General of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, in refuting to accept the objections of certain ecclesiastics to the appointment of Dr. HAMPDEN to the epincopal see of Hereford. It will not have been forgotten that when the ouponents of that Right Reverend Pre4ite attempted to stay the ceremony of confiro ation, in compliance with the ir.vitation of the Apparitor- General, they were peremptorily ordered by Dr. :7•IIERRARD BEAUMONT BURNABY and his colleagues to withdraw their obstructions, and to behold in complacent si lence the confirmation of the Bishop elect. Dr. ADD. ms and several other sacerdotal advocates, learned in ecclesiastical etiquette and theological pre rogatives, maintained, even within the precincts of Bow Church, the adequacy of the objections raised against the continuance of the ceremonial ; but in opposition to those very authoritative opinions, the Vicar-General of the Metropolitan persisted in his refusal, being in terror of exposing himself to the penalties of premunire. Yesterday the quest ion was brough . t under th e cons id e ration of the Court of Queens Bench by Sir FITZROY KELLY, and a rule nisi was granted by the Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, in obedience to which rule the Primate and his Vica r will have (in the event of the conditional order for the writ of mandamus being made absolute) to hear the arguments of thevoilr a rt rio rn us at d io irtients who we re silenced on the day of e A prospect consequently presents itself of such an investigation being commenced in the courts of law as will necess itate so scrupulous a sifting of the argumen t s employed by the differe n t disputants, as w ill revealhe the trues merits of this depl orable contro versy. T H am n quarrel has a nyt hi ng but terminated. The antagonists are now being drawn nay m ore closely together, so that a better oppoe u • will present itself f or estimating tneirrelativestrength, and the proportiona te integrity of their principles. Th e circumference of the , - ,rena is being narrowed, and the lay multitude may safely anticipate the spectacle of a ve r y vigorous contention between the twist redoubt able of the clerical athletes of our generation. One the most remarkable of these gladiators of the Church—an d certainly one of the most extraordinary logicians of the age—Archbishop WHATELEY, to wit --has already buckled on the gauntlets of discussion (in re llAmPhit:s) and evinced no very trivial amount of intellectual pugnacity. According to the pamphlet of the Archbishop of DunLiN—a pamphlet entitled " S:atements and RA.,ctions" on the H am pd en Con troversy—the Prime, Minister is not only to be de. Glared sinless in making the selection of the Regius ; Professor of Divinity, but the Noble Lo r d i s said to have merited fur himself the admiration of all orthotha t--stands, by the dignii-d resoluteness With which he has advanced Dr. HAMPDEN to the see of Here ford, in the teeth of the most reckless and viruleat Wnen a man of such astuteness and as ~scbbtstl -p WI HATELBY commits himself decidedly Or:Stitch an opinion as this it is impos sible to reerf4„itie party clamour raised against the MMHG? ofPAirins:rz, new tha Archbishop of • THE SUN, LONDON, SATTRDAY _EVENING, ~ e P in consequence of a proclamation of the municipal council, announcing that the new police regulations were in force. Cries of "Down with the Jesuits! The Civic Guard for ever !" were heard, and it was suggested to address to the King a petition on the subject. Tables were forthwith arranged in the streets, and several thousands of signatures were soon obtained. Signatures were also obtained in the theatre, and the petition was afterwards carried about from house to house. Several citizens of aote offered their services to carry to the limo this xpression of the wishes of the people, and a deputa tion, composed of nine members, arrived at Turin on the 7th. This body was not received by the KING it had an interview, however, with the Minister of the Interior, who represented to these delegates that the KING could not receive a deputation which did not possess a legal mandate, which in fact expressed the illegal wishes of an illegal meeting. The Minis ter received the deputation with politeness, but firmly, and recommended them to depart from Turin with as little delay as possible. Their departure took place the day after, the Ith, for Genoa. A demonstration took place at Leghorn on the 6th of January in consequence of the delay which had taken place in arming the civic guard. Upwards of 4,000 persons assembled before the windows of the palace occupied by the Governor of the city, General Sraosu. They summoned him to appear, and when, after some hesitation, he presented himself on the balcony, he was greeted with hisses and hootings, and cries of " Down with SPRONI ! Death to SPRONI ! Hurrah for GUERRAZZI!"—GUERRAZZI, who is an advocate, being the leader of the people. At length the Governor proposed that they should nomi nate a deputation to confer with him on the measures they demanded. At this moment Count LARDEREL, the gonfalonier, arrived, and as cended the balcony. Addressing the crowd, he assured them that the Government had made all rfforts to arm the Civic Guard, adding that lie and the Governor would then proceed to draw up a list of a deputation to act with them on behalf of the people. Presently he re-appeared, and called out the names they had chosen. The first was that of GUERRIZZI, which was received with enthusiastic applause. Three or four other names also obtained the approbation of the people, but the others, ten in number, were hooted. GUERRAZZI then appeared on the balcony, and said that he had been told that the Government had neither money nor arms, but that, as he was a member of the committee which was to meet the next day at the Town-hall, the people might count on him, for he would sustain their rights, and, if necessary, march at their head to Florence, and compel the Government to comply with their wishes. York, without an extraordinary degree of suspicion. It only on account of their bitterness and obstinacy, there would he ample grounds for doubting the in tegrity of the principles of which Dean Melte- WETTIER is the princip tl exponent. However much this may be the case, we should nevertheless, we take it, in that spirit of justice which is alone consonant with our laws, and in that spirit of candour, which is alone com patible with the tendency of our religion, —grant a fair hearing to whomsoever may plead a conscientious objection to the divine nominated b . ) her MAJESTY as Defender of the Faith. Here, therefore, it has been decided at the sittings in banco, bef 're the Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, and Justices PATTESON, ERLF, and COLERIDGE, that preliminary steps may be taken towards the scrutiny of this remarkable case, a case of an altogether un precedented character, if we except that which arose on the appointment of MONTAGUE to the see of Chichester. There has been too much discursive ness in the debate of this singular question, which has floated loosely about in the columns of the public journals, alAd in the ornate declamation of letter writers and pamphleteers. The rigid supervision of the law hill restrict the disputants to the simplest matters of fact, and will disencumber the question of a ridiculous superabundance of verbiage and per sonalities. In obedience to this system of inquiry the controversy will be condensed into a proposition as portable as that one of the elementary debater—lf A is right B is wrong, and, A being right and B being wrong, B is an ass and must stand the consequences. That is the nar row circle within which the magic wand of the law is beginning to confine the various advocates and op ponents of the Lord Bishop of HEREFORD. In what condition the disputants will emerge from that circle we can more than conjecture. Dr. HAMPDEN, like the accused of old, will have to pass through a fiery ordeal, but let him remember, however, for his con solation, how it is that gold is refined ! Viva ending The speech of the Earl of CLARENDON at the in augural banquet of the new Lord Mayor of DUBLIN is well worthy of a dispassionate and attentive perusal. That distinguished Nobleman, since his acceptance of the Viceroyalty of the sister kirgdom, has devoted himself to the discharge of the duties of his exalted station with a degree of zeal, ability, and activity beyond all praise. No subject of importance has been overlooked or disregarded, and while he has temperately, but firmly, censured those to whoa censure was due, and spared no exertions to repress the crimes and outrages that have disgraced certain districts, and to bring the violators of the law to condign punishment he has en couraged and commended those who have wt 11 and efficiently discharged the duties incidental to their respective stations. He has not attempted to disguise the difficulties that must be encountered, but Le has shown that those willing to meet them in Madrid papers of the Bth inst. have arrived. The Gageta publishes an ordinance calling upon all holders of Government Securities, of no matter what kind, with the exception of that which comes under the head of haberes (actives), to present their vouchers within two months to enable the Government to present a project of law to the Cortes for their pay ment. a manly and straightforward manner will be assisted, should the task prove too onerous for their powers. They must enter on the arduous undertaking vigo rously and boldly. They must not relax their exer tions, hoping that the Government will step in and feed the destitute poor upon their estates, and that thus they may be enabled to husband their local and individual resources for other purposes. No ; th , se resources must be tully applied in discharge of the primary obligation, the fitting maintenance of the pauper inhabitants of the thstrict ; but should they pr.ive to be insufficient to meet the distress, then the Government will interpose itself be- The reception of ESPARTERO in Madrid has been a perfect triumph. He arrived at four o'clock in the morning, and alighted at a house in the Calle de Montera. A large crowd assembled in front of his residence to welcome him. In the course of the day SARTORIUS waited on him, charged with a mission from NARVAEZ. ESPARTERO made a formal applica tion to NARVAEZ for a reception from the QUEEN in the presence of one of the Cabinet Ministers, to NS hich NARVAEZ replied that no witness was necessary, and the Duke of VICTORY would be received by the QUEEN at half•past five o'clock. He endeavoured to avoid recognition, but he was recognised on his way to the Palace, and hailed with the utmost enthusiasm. Numbers of persons threw themselves at his feet, and he himself became so much affected that he declared he would not be able to support a repetition of such scenes. The Siglo newspaper was printed on fine paper, with ornamental borders—on the one side was inscribed " Donna ISABEL 11., Queen of Spain," and on the other " Don BALDOMERO ESPARTERO, Pacificator of Spain." Then were given the names of thirty eight places, scenes of the hero's exploits. The re ception by the QUEEN and KING her husband was most gracious. The best feeling exists between NARVAEZ and ESPARTERO, and from the union of ween the helpless peasantry and the famine hat would otherwise seize on them as its victims, and no human being will be suffered to perish from the want of the common necessaries of life in a civilized country, professing to respect the sublime truths of Christianity. Lord CLARE DON is seeking to carry out these views, and he is doing so with justice and impartiality. He has not allied him self to any party or clique, but is pursuing the even tenor of his way uninfluenced by any but the purest motives and considerations. It is, therefore, by no means surprising that he should have obtained the con fidence of all classes, and have received that genera support that is so essential to the successful result of his labours. He is, probably, the first Lord-Lieutenant who has succeeded in gaining the cordial goodwill, esteem, and respect of men of all grades in society, and of every variety of political and religious opi nions. Heretofore it was sufficient that the Viceroy should be lauded by one party to insure that he should be held up to the odium of the other. An attempt to conciliate one class was regarded as an unpardonable insult and injury by its opponents, and praise or censure was bestowed not for the acts of the person himself, but in order that they might in all things be in direct opposition to their ancient enemies. It was reserved for Lord CLARENDON to unite the suffrages of all in his favour, and this he las obtained by the riAid impartiality of his conduct and his determined resolution to advance the general interests of the country, without any reference to the conflicting opinions of its children. Divide et impera was, unhappily, too well known and too long acted on in Ireland by the authorities for the time being, and hence the existing evils, " many of which have been the growth of ages and the offspring of unrighteous legislation." A wiser policy is now pursued the exertions of the Government are directed to assuage the animosities, to terminate the dissensions that have prevailed, and to unite all into ac, r dial co operation—an amicable rivalry as to who shall labour th, most zealously and efficiently for the welfare of their common country. his Excellency well expressed, not only his own views and those of the Ministry, of which he is so distinguished a member, but of every Englishman. lie said, " I can certainly believe that her MAJESTY never called to her councils men who were more earnestly devoted to the interests of Ireland than her presety Government. And I state not this in dis paragement of other men holding different political views, because it is my conviction that by men of all pt rties and all classes in England the welfare of Ireland is now regarded as an imperial consideration of the first and most momentous importance ; hut, knowing as I do the views and intentions of my Noble Friend at the head of the Government, knowing that the policy I would have to pursue here was not one of party or exclusiveness, nor aiming at ephemeral popu larity, but essentially an Irish policy, having fur its basis to do equal justice to all classes, whether the highest or the lowest in the community —to promote ley every practicable means, legislative or administrative, the social progress of Ireland, I felt that I might rely upon the support of every honest Irishman, and I have not been mis taken." What has actually been done, and is now doing, was also stated. His Excellency pointed out the absolute inability of this country, with a deficient reve nue and an increased expenditure, again to perform the herculean task o: feeding the entire people, or, in other words, "to take largely from the distress in England to give to that in Ireland,"—but he also says, " the Government have placed at our disposal some of the best steamers in her AIAZESTY'S service, to assist in affording relief to the destitute, and in order to carry food where it is most wanted to the depots esta blished in the most distressed districts, and I am sure you will learn with pleasure that the most anxious care and attention is now bestowed upon the most suffering, because the most helpless portion of the community—l mean the children of the poor. There are at this moment 70,000 children for the most part clothed and daily fed from the funds subscribed by the British public , and I hare every reason to ' believe that th e number of children so cared for will shortly amount t o 12 0,000. " This simple fact s h ou ld silence the complaints of those who ungratefully deny the vast assistance rendered t o our su ff er i ng brethren in the season of distress, and revile our Ministers for not having accomplished i mposs ib ilities. His Ex cellency also bore his testimony to the exertions that h a ve recently been made and are new making in Ireland, and made an appeal to all classes to combine together for the amelioration of their native land, so that " the social regeneration of Ireland may spring from the moral and intellectual improvement in her people—that basis which h as hith er to been wantii:g, but without which neither progress nor improvement can be relied on per manently or surely." Most sincerely do we ho p e that this prudent - advice may be strictly followed, and then, indeed, Ireland may hope to become what sh e ought. to be—" great, glorious, and free. these two great men we augur most favourably for the future happiness and nationality of Spain. It was thought that the Government would inter- fere to put a stop to the prosecution of SALAMANCA. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. B.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i cash, and 261.5-16 at 50 days ; Five per Cents., 15 cash, 1.5 i to i sellers after the close ; Passive Debt, 6 to 4{ ; Coupons, 101 cash. We have received the Paris papers of Friday. The paragraph in the Address, on the subject of the affairs of Switzerland, was under discussion on Thursday, and the Duc DE BaoamE, in a long and somewhat confused speech, defended the conduct of the Ministry. His speech was little more than a rechauffee of the dispatches which have been already published, and re quires no answer, inasmuch as the Noble Duke, in the latter part of each portion of his argument, invariably answers the positions which he has laid down in the former part of it. For instance, the Duc DE BROGLIE contends that the neutrality of any country is only guaranteed because it is weak, and it is utterly impossible that it can act of its own free will. Switzerland, divided into twenty-two in dependent governments, is in that state ; but 5 itzeriand united under one government would be strong, and therefore the neutrality of Switzerland necessarily presupposes a sate of help lessness—and yet the Duc DE BROGLIE admits in a subsequent part of hii speech, that the 22 cantons, if hey are unanimous, may alter the Federal pact in such a manner as to give increased energy to the central government, and a greater degree of power over the command of the military force, without any violation of the treaties of 1815, and without giving to the other Powers any right to violate the neutrality of the Swiss territory. There is an admirable article in the Constitutionnel (the length of which alone pre vents us from transferring it to our columns) in which all the fallacies and contradictions of the speech of the Due DE BROGLIE are mercilessly exposed. " The orator," says the Constitutionnel, " did not attempt to deny that if Austria had invaded Svvitverland our Mi nistry would have been obliged to intervene on its side, as it had done at Ancona, that is to say, in opposi tion to Austria. This then is the reason why our Government was opposed to all intervention. It dreaded being thwarted in its counter-revolutionary designs being forced from its impious alliance with an absolutist power against liberty. Not being able to take up arms in defence of the Sonderbund, it wished to retain to itself the power of giving a moral and a material support to this counter-revo• lutionary party without too great an explosion of public indignation." As to the ridiculous denouement of the proffered mediation, after the fall of the Sonderbund, the Due DE BROGLIE merely remarks that M. GUIZOT had not time to accomplish his designs. " As if," observes the Constitutionnel, " the foreseeing probable events and the making accurate calculations as to time, were not the first duties of an intelligent and skilful Govern. ment." . " After the delivery of this speech," concludes the Con.ytitutionnel, " the Due DR BROGLIE might well have applied to himself the words uttered by M. DE ST. AULAIRE on the previous day, and have said, In truth, Austria is not less liberal than I am.'" The news of the imprisonment of ADD-EL• KADER in a fortress at Toulon is confirmed, and the Sentinelle of Toulon, in allusion to certain reports on the subject, sa y s _ " The confinement of ARD-EL-KADER in Fort La malgue does not appear to us intended to be a merely temporary measure ; we do not imagine that the Ministers designed to prelude a setting of the priso ner at liberty by a provisional detention, we rather believe that they will not ratify the promise made to the ex •Emir by our Generals." The general health of the Kiss has not changed for the worse, although he is still suffering from a slight cough. On Thursday his MAJRSTY transacted business, as usual, with his Ministers.

An accident occurred last night on the above rail way, by which, we regret to add, an engine driver has lost his life, and several passengers have been more or less injured. From inquiries instituted by the reporter we are enabled to give the following particulars : —lt appears that the six o'clock P.M. up-train from Southampton had proceeded as far as a place called Frimley, about a mile and a half on the Southampton side of Woking, when, owing to some disarrangement of the machinery of the engine, it was brought to a standstill. The engine-driver in charge of the train, David Martland, immediately proceeded to repair the defect, and, in order to prevent the possibility of accident, the second guard was sent back with a red light to stay the pro gress of the usual night luggage-train from South ampton. This officer had been gone '2O minutes when the expected train was heard approaching, and, in order to insure safety, another person was sent beck with a red lamp. This person had scarcely cleared the passenger-train, when the luggage-train ran into it with terrific force, carrying destruction on every side. Martland, the engine- driver, who was just put ting the finishing stroke to the repairs of his engine— the first guard holding his lamp to him at the time— was crushed to death beneath it, and the breaksman and the stoker of the luggage-train were very seri ously injured, the former more especially. rho passenger train itself suffered most in the centre, the carriages in this portion of the train being more or less crushed or thrown off the line. Their inmates were of course seriously mutilated and hurt, but, happily, it does not appear that any lives have been lost. The engines of both the trains were so much shaken by the collision as to be quite unable to proceed, and the trains remained stationary until, the arrival of the first being expected at \Yoking, and long over due, pilot engines were sent . ut to seek it. On their arrival at Frindey Bank the unfortunate cause of the delay was ascertained, and the trains having been put toether as well as possible, were brought on to Nine Elms, where they arrived shortly after eleven o'clock, being more than two hours after their usual time. The wounded persons were all brought up to town, and on their arrival at the station they received the kindest attention from Mr. Godson, the superinten dent, and Mr. Beattie, of the carriage department, both of whom were in attendance and displayed the most anxious care in ministering to their distresses. The brealoman of the luggage train, who was must seriously injured, was placed on a stretcher and con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. The wounded pas sengers were chiefly conveyed to the Railway Hotel opposite the station, where medical assistance was in stantly afforded them. One gentleman has his leg broken, and two or three ladies are much hurt. The body of poor Martland, who was one of the best drivers on the line, remains at Frimley. He has left a wife and family. We trust that the statement of some of the passen gers, who aver that, notwithstanding the carriages were full of wounded persons, the train was detained nearly a quarter of an hour at the ticket platform, is capable of explanation. STRAND TUEATRE.—That pleasing young actress, Miss Jane Coleman, has announced, for Tuesday next, the 18th instant, her first benefit at this attractive little theatre. The fair beneficiaire will be strongly supported by Miss E. Terry, aliss Love, Mr. Oxberry, Mr. 11. St. C. Percy, the American actor, and many celebrated London favourites. The bill of fare is an exceed ingly attractive one, and we trust she will meet with that support she so richly deserves. TILE BENEVOLENCE OF COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. —We have much pleasure in stating that a Mr. Buren, of Birmingham, who is connected with the management of a Sunday school belonging to St. George's Church in that town, did. on his journeys as a commercial traveller, solicit contributions of ls. each from his fellow-travellers, and, in about sight months, received 281. 7s. 641, which he paid over on the 31st December last, as a donation from the commercial body, for the use of these schools It is understood Mr. B. intends proceeding with this subscription until he has received 501. Much to the credit of the commercial travellers, the refusals have not been more than one in a hundred. THE HAMBURGM MAlLS.—Notice was issued yes terday at the General Post-office that the Hamburgh mails of the evening of the 11th instant were conveyed to Holland by the Rainbow steamer on the morning of the 12th instant, the approach to Cuxhaven being im practicable in consequence of the ice. The mails to Hamburgh will for the present be sent through Hol land, and conveyed by a special messenger. Her Ma jesty's steamer Acheron, which has been detained, will sail from Devonport on the 26th or 27th instant with the mails for Madeira, the Cape, Australia, and New Zealand. APOTHECARIES'-HALL. The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certi ficates to practise, on Thursday, the 13th inst.:—Thomas Carr Jackson, Clitheroe, Lancashire ; William Henry Ackland, Bideford, Devon ; Robert Rayner, Birstal, Yorkshire. INDISPOSITION OF THE KING OF DENNIARN..—We are informed by a Copenhagen letter of the 6th, that in the afternoon of that day the King of Denmark, on returning from a carriage drive, suddenly found himself so unwell that his physicians considered it necessary to bleed him immediately. INDISPOSITION OP THE KING or SARDINIA.—The last accounts from Turin state that the King of Sardinia has become somewhat seriously indisposed. The Duchess of Savoy, hereditary Princess, was in such an alarming state that it has been considered necessary to offer up special public prayers on her behalf. DEATH IN THE QUEEN'S PRlSON.—Yesterday an inquest was held in the Queen's Prison on the body of Mr. Samuel Lyle. aged GO, described as a mining agent. Mr. Charles Colville, clerk to the governor, said that he had received instructions from Captain Hudson to make an offer to the plaintiff, at whose suit for costs deceased was confined, in order to procure his liberation. Wit ness was deputed to offer the sum of 101., but that was not accepted. Sarah Williams, of 44, Bridge-road, said deceased had been confined is prison six years. Mr. Thomas Moran, surgeon to the prison, said that he had attended deceased ever since the year 1844. His com plaint was cancer of the stomach, of which he died. In answer to a question from the Coroner, witness stwed that the disease might have been brought on by old age. A gentleman present said he bad known deceased for some time past. He was a very high-spirited man, and he believed that ho fretted inwardly from being slighted by his wife and friends. Verdict, " Natural death from cancer in the stomach." RUMOURED ACCIDEPIT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—A rumour prevailed last night, owing to the non-arrival of the express train, that an accident had oc curred on this line. The train is due at Shoreditch at 10h. 35min., but it did not arrive till 12h. 25min., thus being nearly two hours behind time. The delay arose from a coke waggon getting off the rails, and blocking up the line between Waterbeach and Ely. No casualty occurred beyond the delay caused whilst removing the waggon from off the up line of rails.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat to• day in his Court at Westminster, at eleven o'clock. MAITLAND v. BACKHOUSE.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the arguments were concluded yesterday. The case came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from the judgment of the Vice.. Chancellor of England granting an injunction re straining the defendants, who are bankers at Bishop Auckland, from suing the plaintiff in a court of law for 5,0001. The facts of the case may be thus shortly stated :—The bill was filed by Miss E. J. Maitland, to restrain Messrs. Backhou.-e and Co., bankers of Bishop Auckland, in the eounty of Durham, from suing her in respect of a promissory note for 5,000/, which she had endorsed. Miss Maitland had been a ward of the court, and entitled to a large fortune. In November, 1844, she came of age, and being then in the house of Mr. Donald Maclean, the late Member for Oxford, who had married her aunt, she under his directions, opened an account with the London and Westminster Bank, after bring put in possession of a sum of 83,000/. Maclean was at that time residing near Bishop Auckland, and kept an account with the defendant. The bill alleged that Maclean had transactions with Messrs. Bolekow and Vaughan, ironmasters in the neighbourhood, and that he made an arrangement with them to pro cure Miss Maitland's endorsement on a promissory note for 5,0001., and to deliver it to be negociated. The bill further alleged that Miss Maitland, on the 9th of March, 1846, was induced to endorse a note for 5,000/., under the influence of Maclean, and knowing he was already largely indebted to her. In the course of their business Bolekow and Vaughan paid this note into the bank of Messrs. Backhouse. In June, 1846, Maclean became bankrupt, and Messrs. Back house then commenced an action on the note. The bill charged that the defendants • were acting for Bolekow and Vaughan, that they had not in reality discounted the note or given credit for it in their books. The defendants by their answer affirmed that they had discounted the note, charging 861. for interest. They produced their books to prove it, and denied that they had any knowledge of the influence Maclean exercised over the plaintiff, being merely informed that she was a lady of fortune. The Vice- Chancellor thought the facts of the case raised sus picion, and that there ought to be further inquiry, and he therefore granted the injunction. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment to day, went at some considerable length into the facts of the case, and, in conclusion, stated his opinion to be that the Vice-Chancellor of England had come to a right decision, and ordered his judgment to be affirmed, at the same time directing the costs of the application to be costs in the cause. fr. CAIIN wished to remind his Lordship of the statement in the answer of the defendants, that the plaintiff was residing out of the judgment of the Court, and that the greater portion of her property had been lost to her in consequence of the acts of her uncle-in-law, Mr. Maclean. The Court then proceeded to hear cause petitions. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE CASE OF MR. WILLIAM CODBSTT• It will be recollected that the indefatigable Mrs. Cobbett made an application to this Court a day or two ago for a habeas corpus to bring up her husband; in order that he might be discharged, on the ground that his further incarceration in the Queen's Prison is unlawful. The Court having promised to give judgment this morning, Mrs. Cobbett appeared on the floor of the court, and after the first motion had been disposed of, Lord DENBIAN said, the application to the Court in this ca.e was to the effect, that according to the terms of the Act of the 2d Victoria, c. 17, the further detention of Mr. Cobbett was unlawful. He had been confined as a prisoner of the first class, and it was contended that he ought to have been confined in the prison only as a debtor, and not subjected to the restraint placed upon fraudulent debtors. Now, whether his imprisonment was according to the provisions of the Act or not the Court did not think it right to give an opinion, or to make any inquiry into the matter, because it had only power to commit or discharge, and not to define the nature of the imprisonment, and it was admitted that he was in lawful custody, and if he were in lawful custody the Court could only remand hitn if he were brought up. Under these circumstances they could not grunt the application.... Application refused. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) IN RE SNOWBALL. _ _ 1••• Mr. CROMPTON moved for a writ of certiorari to remove certain proceedings into this court. He made the motion under the following circumstances : —Mr. Snowball formerly held an office in one of the Liverpool sewage boards, but by a recent Act of Parliament, passed for the general improvement of the town of Liverpool, the powers vested in these sanitary boards were transferred to the corporation of the borough, and of course the situation which Mr. Snowball held was abolished. The Act, however, provided that all parties who sustained loss by th• annulation of their offices should be entitled to compensation either in the shape of an annuity, or a vote of a sum of money, the option resting with the party sustaining the loss. Under this prevision, Mr. Snowball elected to take an annuity, but upon his case coming before the Recorder of the borough, whom the Act appointed to assess the compensation, it was decided that instead of an annuity, Mr. Snowball should be awarded 3,4001. in full satisfaction for his loss of office. The writ of certiorari now moved for was to have the proceedings which had been instituted before the Recorder, in this as well as five other • ~..... 13/
