JANUARY 15, ,818 Measures were ye,terchiy adventured upon for the purpose of ensuring a 1‘.3.n1 inv,stigation into the conduct of the Vicar- G,n , -ral of the Archbishop of C ISTEHBURY, in refu:in 4 to accept the objec , ion , #lf certain ecclesiastic: to the appnintment of Dr. HAmrDEN to the epi,copal see of Hereford. It will not have been torgotten that when the oi , ponents o that Right Reverend Pre!ate attempted to stay the ceremony of confirmation, in compliance with the j o v i ta t i oo of the A ppiiritor General, they were perenipti.rily ordered h t - 1)r. HERRARD 13EAUMON1" BURNABY' and his colkagues to withdraw their obstructions, and to behold in complacent si lence the confirmation of the Bishop elect. Dr ADDAMS and several other sacerdotal advocates, learned in ecclesiastical etiquette and theological pre rogatives, maintained, even within the precincts of Bow Church, the al,-quacy of the oljecions raised against the c ontinultice of the cerene.nial ; bur in c'Phosition to those very authoritative opinions, the Vicar-General of the Metropolitan persisted in hi re ( u , als being in terror of exposing himself to the penalties of pre munire. Yesterday the question was brought under toe consideration of the Court of Queens be nc h b y Si r F ITZROY K ELLY , and a rule 7123/ was granted by th e L or d Chief Justice DENMAN, in obedience to w hi c h rule t h e P r i mate an d hi s Vicar- General will have (in the event of the conditional order for the writ of mandamus being made absolute) to hear the arguments of the various dissentients who were silenced on the day of confirmation. prospect co.nseqcuoemnintlye,npereedseiythiteseclofuorftssuocfhlaawn so scrupulous a sifting of the will by . the differedneptlodriasbpluettcinontst,roas. i o n s v at necessitateion being rtellu'has h n i g n g d r a b A u n t arguments employed v, reveal the true merits r i g t su quarrel r f The a ntagonists are now an Z e tveerrms ated. their relative stre ngt h, more closely Itohgeether,tisnolatthinagt a better will present itself for es and the proportionate i nte grity .gbe cif ng tbe n i a r r p ro ri w nc e i d pl r e a e s nd t l h i h ; the spectacle of e circumference of the ~ rena lay multitude may safely anticipate a very vigorous contention between theemria,sttiorne.douolinte. able of the clerical nth/61es. of our g ne f h of the most remarkable of t hese gladiators of the e Church —and certainly one of the most extraordinary logicians of the age—Archbishop WIIATELEY, to wit —has already b uc kl e d on the gauntlets of disc ussion (in re than-DEN) and evinced no very trivial am )unt of intellectual pugnacity. According to the pamphlet of the Archbishop of DUBLIN—a pamphlet entitled s , Statements and Refl , ctions" on the Hampden Con troversy--the Pilate Minister is not only to he de elareti sinless in tn.taing• the selection of the Regius Professor of Divinity, but tiv- Noble Lord is said to have merited for himsrls. the admiration of all orthodox -, by the di•,:nified resoluteness with which he Avanced De. HasirDEN to the -ee of Here ford. in the teeth of the mosr. reckless and virulent dissentients. When a man of such astuteness and ca p wits a.

TEE York, without an extraordinary degree of suspicion. If only on account of their bitterness and obstinacy, there would he ample grounds for douh ing the in tegrity of the principles of which Dean MERE.. WETIIER is the principal 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 of to the divine nominated by her MAJESTY as Defender of the Faith. Here, therefore, it has been decided at the sittings in banco, bef ire the Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, and Justices PATTES !rr, EttLE, and COLF.RIDGE, 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 AIONTAGDE to the see of Chichester. There has been too much discursive ness in the debate of this singular question, which has floatr d loosely about in the columns of the public journal-, and in the ornate declamation of letter writers and pamphleteers. The rigid supervisior of the law pill restrict the disputants to the simplest matters of fact, arid 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 Ais right Bis 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! 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 hi* 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 whore censure was due, and sparAl 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 w 11 and efficiently discharged the duties incidental to their respective stations. He has not attempted to disguise the difficulties that must be encountered, but t.e has shown that those willing to meet them in A manly and straightforward manner will be assisted, should the task prove too onerous for their powers. Triey 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 teed 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 fully applied in discharge of the primary obligation, the fitting maintenance of the pauper inhabitants of the d.strict ; but should they prove to be insufficient to meet the distress, then the Government will interpose itself be tween the helpless peasantry and the famine that 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 CLARENDON is seeking to carry out these views, and be is thing 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 general support that is :o 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 grietes 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 t as obtained by the rigid 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 exis:ing 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 t o unite all into laci r dal co operation—an amicable rivalry as to who sh II 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 ei-einguislied 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 present Government. And 1 state not this in dis paragement of other men holiliug different political views, because it is my conviction that by men of ell psrties and all classes in England the welfare of Ireland is now regarded as an imperial consideration of the first and most momentous importance ; but, knowing as I. do the views and intentions of my Neble Friend at the head of the Government, knowing that the policy I would have to pursue here was not one of party or exclusivenesg, nor aiming at ephemeral popu. 1141 . 4, but essentially an lash policy, haring for its Oasis to du tqual justice to all classes, whether the highest or the km est in the community —to promote - .3r 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 MAJESTY'S service, to assist in affording relief to the destitute, and in order to carry food where it is most wanted to the depats 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 Port clothed and daily fed from the funds subscribed iy the British public, and I have every reason to believe that the number of children so cared for will shortly amou n t to 120,000." This simple fact should silence the complalivls of those who ungratefully deny the vast assistance rendered to our suffering brethren in the season of distress, and revile our Ministers fur not having accomplished impossibilities. His Ex cellency also bor e his testimony to the exertions that have recently been made and are new making in Ireland, and made an appeal to all classes to comliine together for the amelioration of their native land, so that " the social regeneration of !reign(' may -pring from the moral and intellectual improvement In her people—that basis w hi ch has hitherto been wanting, but without which neither progress nor improvement can be relied on pees ineliently or surely." Most sincerely do we hope that this prudent advice may be strictly followed, and then, indeed, Ireland may hope to become what she ought to be—" great, glorious, and free." According to 1. tcers from Turin it appears that tumultuous meetings took place at Genoa on Jan , 3, 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 1" 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 I soon obtained. Signatures were also obtained in the theatre, and the petition was afterwards carried About from house to house. Several citizens of note offered their services to carry to the Kim) this expression 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 Int••rior, 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 tth, 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 SraoNz. 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 !"—GUERRAZEI, 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 • fforts to arm the Civic Guard, adding that he 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 GuEultAzzr, 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. Week end iug Madrid papers of the Bth inst. have arrived. The Gaceta 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. The reception of ESPARTERO in Madrid has been :1 perfect triumph. He arrived at four o'clock in the morning, and alighted at a house in the Calle de Montero. A large crowd assembled in front of his residence to welcome him. In the course of the day .->ARTORIUS 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 %S hich NARVAEE 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 IsasEL 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 KIN° her husband was most gracious/ The best feeling exists between NARTAEZ and ESPARTERO, and from the union of 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 261 cash, and 26 1,5-16 at 40 days ; Five per Cents., 15 cash, 151 to i f sellers after the close ; Passive Debt, . 6 to 41; 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 D BROGLIE, in a long and somewhat confused speech, defended the conduct of the Ministry. His speech was little more than a rot/taupe 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, di'lided into twenty-two in dependent governments, is in that state ; but SA itzeriand united under one government would be strong, and therefore the neutrality of Switzerland necessarily presupposes a state of help lessness—and yet the Due sE BROGLIE admits in a subsequent part of his 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 goverment, and a greater degree of power over the command of the military force, without any violation of the treaties of 181.5, and v:ithout giving to the other Powers any right to violate the neutrality of the Swiss territory. There is an admirable article in the Con.stitutionnel (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 Switzerland 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 Duo 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 Constitutionnel, " the Duc DE 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 ABD-EL KADER in a fortress at Toulon is confirmed, and the Sentinelle of Toulon, in allusion to certain reports on the subject, says— The confinement of ABD-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 KING has not changed for the worse, although he is still suffering from a slight cough. On Thursday his MAJESTY 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 Alartland, 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 20 minutes when the expected train was heard approaching, and, in order to insure safety, another person was sent bock 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. [ha 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 Woking, and long over due, pilot engines were sent tut to seek it. On their arrival at Fritoley Bank the unfor, unate cause of the delay was ascertained, and the trains having been put together 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 break sman of the luggage train, who was most 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 ati hour at the ticket platform, is capable of explanation. STRAND THEATRIL—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 beneficiuire 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 sbe so richly deserves. THE BENEVOLENCE OF COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS. —We have much pleasure in stating that a Mr. Bown, of Birmingham, who is connected wit h 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 Is. each from his fellow-travellers. and, in about eight months. received 281. 7s. id., 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 50/. Much to the credit of the commercial travellers, the refusals have not been more than one in a hundred. THE HAMBURG'S MAlL;.—Notice was issued yes terday at the General Post-oflice that the Humburgh mails of the evening of the 11th instant were conveyed to flatland by the Rainbow steamer on the morning of the 12th instant, the approach to Cuxhaven being irn 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. Iler Mu 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. AroTuacAßtzs i -naLL. 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 Tris KING OF DENMARK. — We are informed by a Copenhagen letter of the 6 th, that in the afternoon of that day the King of Denmark, on returning front a carriage drive, suddenly found himself so unwell that his physicians considered it necessary to bleed him immediately. INDISPOSITION OF THE KING OF 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 60. 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 Mortin, 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 stated that the disease might have been brought on by old age. A gentleman present said he had known deceased for some time past. He was a very high •spirited man, and he believed that he fretted inwardly front being slighted by his wife and friends. Verdict, " Natural death from cancer in the stomach." RUMOURED ACCIDENT 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.

The Loan CUANCELLOR gave judgment to:day in his 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. Backhouse and Co., bankers o± Bishop Auckland, in the county of Durham, from suing her in respect of a promissory note for 5,0001., which she had endorsed. Miss Maitland had been $ 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, sbe under his directions, opened an account with the London and Westminster Bank, after being put in possession of a sum of 83,0001. 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 negotiated. The bill further alleged that Miss Maitland, on the 9th of March, 1846, was induced to endorse a note for 5,0001., under the influence of Maclean, and knowing he NA as 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 fot 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. :Ir. CAIRN 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. ror The Court then proceeded to hear cause petitions. ,aky, 32% 11SN 52 52% QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE CABE OF MIL WILLIAM COBBETT. 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 11:3 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 DENMAN said, the application to the Court in this cs'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 defi►►e the nature of the imprisonment, and it was admitted that he was in lawful custody, and if he wire in lawful custody the Court could only remand him if he were brought up. Under these circumstances they could not grant the application.• Application refused. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) IN RE SNOWBALL. 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 the 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 F la r _.
