LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL 2. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 2. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed pet tions and short causes to-day. SHERIFFS' CO UR T, APRIL 1. FORD V. LOCK. The plaintiff is a widow residing in Crown-street, West. minster, and the defendant the private secretary of the Earl of Tankerville. She sought to recover the sum of 41 6s , due for rent and money lent under the following circum stances: —On the second or third of February, 1840, a lady called at the plaintiff's residence, a lodging •house in Crown street, and reque s t e d t o see certa i n apartments; a f ter look ing at them she said they would very likely suit her, but she could not definitely engage them till her husband saw them. She then went away, but called again in the even ing in company with the defendant, whom she represented as her husband, and Mr. Lock saying that the apartments would suit, a curtain sum was agreed upon as the rent, and the lady, who was understood to be Mrs. Lock, took pos• sessi-m of them that evening. The defendant came shortly sfter, ascl c3ntinued there for some months. with the ex ception of about a fortnight, when he was with the Earl of Tankerville, in the country. He also obtained the loan of small sums of money from time to time from the old lady, a part of which he now refused to pay. The plaintiff had written to defendant a sharp letter, on finding the balance due to her not forthooming, threatening to complain of his conduct to Lord Tankerville, upon which defendant called, and told her that, from her presumption in sending such an epistle, he would not pay her a farthing ; he was not liable, he had not taken the apartments, and the lady was not his wife. Several witnesses were called to substantiate this state ment on the part of the plaintiff, from which it appeared that def2ndant, on being asked for the money, examined his bunk, and said that the amount due was only 31 163. In cross-examination it appeared that the sums spoken to by the witnesses as lent t, the defendant were repaid by him. Emma Webb, alias Mrs. Lock, and other showily at• tire] fema!e2, were called on the part of the defendant, who contradicted almost everything proved by the plain tirs wi:nesses, Emma Webb affirming that she always went by the name of Webb, and that Mr. Lock - had no taing what , .?ver to do with engaging the apartments. Teo Learned UNDER-SHERIFF read over the evilence, and observed that if the Jury thought the defendant had sanc tioned the t ikicg of the apartments by his conduct, they would find for the plaintiff. There waz, however, no evi dence of the lending of money which had not been repaid. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount of rent claimed.— Damages, 31. 163. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT: --KINGSTON, APRIL 2. (Before Lnrd DENMAN and a Common Jury.) ROSS V. NORRIS—LIBEL. This was an action for libel brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, the publisher of the Railway Times, for an account which appeared in that paper on the subject of a Company called the Cornwall Har bour and Victoria Railway Compmy, of which the plaintiff had bean the Secretary. Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Gurney were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. The defendant pleaded a justification and a variety of other pleas. Mr. THESIGER state] the case, aid said that the plaintiff in 1836 had projected the Company in ques tion, which was intended to open a more extended :Leans of communication with the West of England, and the plaintiff was the Secretary ; the affair did turn out a falure, and the plaintiff's circumstances did be come embarrassed, and he was arrested, and subse quently a report in connection with the Company wai published in the Railway Times, in which the most disgraceful conduct was imputed to the plaintiff, and he had no alternative but to bring the present action in vindication of his character. Great difficulty hal, however, been thrown in his way by the Company keeping back his hooks, which would have given im- portant evidence in his behalf, but still he hoped to be able to obtain that satisfaction at the hands of the Jury to which he was entitled. The sale of the paper, coot airiing the alleged libel, at the office in Fleet-street, was then proved; and the libel was read. It charged the plaintiff with peculation of various kinds, and attributed the failure cf the Com pany to his misconduct. As there was no proof of pub lication in the county of Surrey, however, it was admit ted that, upon the general issue, the defendant must have a verdict. Mr. PLATT, on behalf of the riefendant, then addressed the Jury, and said that he should satisfy them that the report was founded in truth, and that the plea of justi fication would be supported by the evidence he should adduce, and the Jury would reel themselves bound to give a verdict for the defendant. Mr. PLATT was then about to call his witnesses, when a suggestio n was made that the matter should be I . 3rttled by a juror being withdrawn, but a difficulty aris ing as to the question of costs, the Evidence was gone into. Sr C. Lemon, M.P., identified n paper produced as the handwriting of tlipe plaintiff. This paper contained a report of a preliminary meeting for the formation of the Company in question, and repr.!sented that he (Sir C. Lemon) bad moved a resolution in approbation of the Company. He was not present at any meeting, and did not move any such resolution. Cross-examined—Had knoivn the plaintiff before, and, in the course of conversation, might have ex pressed his approval of the proposed plan. He, how ever, always said that he did not think it would make a good private speculation, and he forbade the use of his name. Mr. Ponsford deposed that he was one of the Di. rectors of the Company in question. He also stated, that on one occasion he gave the plaintiff a cheque for 23?1. to pay the account of Mr. Barker, the adver tising agent, who never received the money, and brought an action against the Company for the amount, and obtained a ver di c t. He hal also given the plain tiff a cheque for 311. for another tradesman, and this sum was also never accounted for. Cross-examined—Was aware that the prospectus referred to had been circulated. Mr. Cobb, the solicitor to the Company, proved that , he had brought an action against the pl anal for this sum, and recovered it ; and Ross subsequently brought an action against the Company for an alleged balance due to him, and he was not suited, Mr. Barker proved that he never received the cheque for 232/. from the plaintiff ; and a clerk from Lad brook's Bank was examined to prove that the cheque in question, and other of the Company's cheques, had been paid into the Bank to the private account of the plaintiff. The clerk to an engraver, named Sylverton, proved that business had been done for the Company to the amount of 311. Gs., and he never teeeivel a cheque for that sum from the plaintiff. . Sir William Molesworth, whose name had also been mentioned by the plaintiff; in the prospectus referred to, as being connected with the Company, proved that he bad no connection with it, and never authorised his name to be brought forward, neither did he ever move or second any resolution approving of the objects of the proposed Company. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, observe I that no an swer appeared to have:been given to the case made out by the defendant, in reference to the cheques ; and, as to what had been said about keepinc , back the Com pany's books, if the plaintiff thought they were essential to make out his case, nothing could be easier than for him to have given notice to produce them ; but this he bad not done. With regard to the prospectus that had been alluded to, there could be no doubt that it was a great fraud upr the public, by preten di ng to g i ve th e sanction and tfplibrt, icof distinguished persons to a SEELEY V. FISHER.. The Loan CHANCELLOR. gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before the Court on Wednesday last. Ili, Lordship observed that the injunction, which the present motion sought to dissolve restrained the defendants from pub lishing the edition of Scott's Bible, which they had com menced publishing in numbers, with a certain wrapper, con taining- a description of the Book, and also from publishing any advertisement or statement to the effect that the work contained or would contain the whole of the observations of Thomas Scott and the last corrections and im provements made by him which he bequeathed to the world. Now the first observaticn upon that was that there was no such advertisement, for, as his Lordship read it, it could have no such interpretation. It was assumed that the advertisement announced to the world that the edition published by the defendants contained all the last corrections and improvements made by Scott ; in his Lordship's opinion, the advertisement answered anything but that description. So far, therefore, as the advertisement formed part of the injunction, there was no thing to support it. The next subject for consideration was the wrapper. The quesion was not one of piracy, because it was admitted by the plaintiffs that the defendants had not pub lished anything of that in which the firmer claimed a copyright. The defendants hid not published the fifth editie n, and it was admitted that the fuiirth edition was not covered by any copy right, and it was not disputed that the defendants had a tight to reprint all that was in the fourth edition. It was equally clear that the plaintiffs had a copyright in the fifth edi tion, but of what that edition contested was not clearly stated in the affidavit, but there could be no doubt that Mr. Scott, the author of the former editions, did subs-quen , to the publication of the fourth edi!ion employ him self in making- alterations and additions to that edition, and therefore there did exist at. the time of his death that which formed the Subject of copyright, to which the plaintiff was en titled. Now the com, laint against the defendants was, that they had announced to the world that they were publishing something more than was contained in the fourth edition ; and the question to be considered was, looking at the advertise men t an d th e wra pp er , w h e th er suc h was th fact. if the defendants had announced that thelr work contained that which was in the fifth edition, then they would be publishing that to which the plaintiff was entitled ; and it would come within the terms of the injunction. But if it appeared from the advertisement and the wrapper that what they meant to convey to the public was that the fourth edition contained all that was the work of Mr. Scott, and that any further works professing to be his were not tru , , that might be the subject of complaint on the part of the plaintiffs, but it was not matter for an injunction. Now, looking at the terms of the advertisement and wrapper, his Lordship could not but think that that which was in tended by the defendants was to hold up to the world that nothing after the fourth edition was the work of Scott. On both these documents, therefore, it was clear to his Lordship's mind that it was not held out by the defendants that they intended to publish that in which the plaintiffs had a copyright, and until a Jury had toll him that he was wrong in that conclusion, he felt bound to dissolve the injunction.—lnjunction dissolved. The Court then proceeded to hear lunatic petitions and appeals. scheme with which they were not in any way con nected. The libel in question certainly cast very strong imputations upon the plaintiff, and which, if not true, ought not to have been published ; but this was a question for the Jury. If they thought the statement had been justified, they would find for the defendant ; but if not, they would then return a verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as they considered the jus tice of the case required. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict for the defendant upon all the issues. DRUMMOND V. THE EARL OF ONSLOW. This was an action of trespass, brought by the plain tiff, the Lord of the Manor of Aldbury, against the defendant. The case commenced before a Special Jury on Thursday, and was not concluded until nearly twelve o'clock at night. The action was brought to establish the boundaries of tho two manors adjoining each other, of which the plaintiff and the noble defendant were the lords. A number of witnesses, chiefly very aged men, were exa mined, who deposed to various acts of ownership that had been exerc;sei by the plaintiff and preceding lards over the land in question ; and the Jury alternately found for the plaintiff, with 50/. damazes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSIOgHOUSE.. George Bass, the driver of omnibus 4,871, was sum moned to answer the complaint of an old man named Jam( s Manby, whose life was paced in imminent dan ger by the racing propensities of the defendant. The complainant stated that be came into town on Thursday in his cart, and was in Bishopsgate-street at a little after five o'clock, when he saw the defendant driving an omnibus down the street. Complainant en deavoured to get out of the way as speedily as he could by driving up Sun-street, and called out to the driver, but the omnibus dashed against the cart, and turned it over, and it was a miracle that he was not killed. He had grasped a lamp-post in endeavouring to save him self, and he was picked up and examined by a surgeon, who found that no bones had been broken. The cart was injured to the amount of 11. 19s. 6d. The LORD MAYOR—Are you sure that the driver must have seen you ? Complainant—Certainly, He saw me long before he turned me over. Mr. Baoker, one of the parochial officers of Bishops gate, said that he happened to witness the transac tion, in which the driver was wholly to blame. It was the practice of omnibus drivers, notwithstanding all that had been said and done about racing, to endanger the lives of people constantly in Bishopsgate-street, by contests of this kind. Two omnibuses generally started at the same moment from the Flower Pot Inn, and off they galloped, apparently careless of the mischief they might do. In the present case, the driver of the om nibus must have seen the complainant before he ap proached within twenty yards of him ; and the old man would probably have been killed, if he had not seized the lamp post. Witness held up his hand to the driver, as the omnibus bore down upon the cart. Another person, who witnessed the occurrence, gave similar evidence, and said that the defendant was in fault Henry Jordan, of Temple•street, Hackney-road, li censed victualler, stated that he was a passenger on the outside of the omnibus, and plainly saw the occurrence. The old man's cart was, as the omnibus was passing along at the rate of no more than five miles an hour, going into Sun-street in a very careless sort of way, and nn effort seemed to be made to get out of the way at all. Witness thought the man who drove the cart was either half asleep or half drank. The driver of the omnibus endeavoured to pull up, and was not at all to blame. William Wood, city policeman, No. 667, stated that he saw what occurred from the corner of Sun-street, and described the matter as the witnesses for the prose cution had described it. He was sure that if the old man had fallen against the curb stone death would have ensued. Witness had frequently given notice to the drivers about the manner in which they drove, but it was useless. The Lord MAYOR said that the case was an exces sively gross one, and that he entertained not the slightest doubt of the truth of the whole of the evidence for the prosecution. Defendant—My Lord, I have been driving these 18 years, and tbere never before was a complaint against me. - The Lord MAYOR—You must pay the whole of the damages, and compensate this poor man, or I shall in fct a heavy penalty upon you. The defendant at once adopted the suggestion of the Lord Mayor, who directed•the p ,lice to keep a parti cular watch upon the racers of Bi3hopsgate-street. GUILDHALL. On Thursday Joseph Sheers, the Secretary to the I Shoemakers' Trades Union, was brought up in custody, charged with having, by intimidation, forced a shoemaker in the employ of Messrs. Homan and Herne, No. 26, Skin ner-street, shoe-manufacturers, to desert from his hiring. Mr. Homan stated that, for several days past, his pre mises had been beset by a doz-n men, who were paid .td. per hour out of a tra , le fund, to watch his premises con tinually, and deter men from doing any work for them. Sometimes they used persuasion only, sometimes intimi dation and violence. One day last week a party rushed into his lobby, and tore up the benches placed for the ac commodation of persons bringing in or taking out work, vrry much alarming several females who were waiting. Otte of them fainted. The object of the journeymen was not to advance wages, hut to control the firm in the mode of conducting their business. The men sought to prevent then from making a certain descrip tion of goods they had not been in the habit of making. They were large exporters, and employed a great many hands in making best women's shoes at IR. 4d. and Is. per pair, but they purchased ready-made and inferior descrip tions to the extent of ten times the quantity. They lately determined to make for themselves a portion of this inferior description, giving 10d. a pair, with the view chiefly of forming a sort of probation class, from which the hands for best work should be selected. The men met, discussed the mater, and brought to the firm a written resolution, that they would not take such inferior work, except the materials were of a certain quality therein defined. The firm replied that they must be left to determine wha' sort of materials they would have made up, but were willing that in one of the materials there should be a visible dif ference from the superior goods. The men, however, would have nothing but their own terms, and immediately struck. The prisoner said he had conversed civilly with the :omplainant without using any intimidation whatever. The MAGISTRATES having consulted were of opinion the intimidation had been made out, and they adjudged the prisoner to hard labour on the tread-mill for three month.. The full penalty of the law would be inflicted in all such cases of molestation and intimiiati-,n of workmen. The prisoner said he should like to have legal advice. Mr. Alderman LaiNsoe replied be could not yield to that now the case had been concluded. The prisoner was committed. MR. PLUMER WARD'S NEW NOVEL.—The unusual interest excited by the announcement of Mr. Ware's " De Cliff,rd, or the Constant Man," is at length gratified, and the work proves, like all the previous produc tions of its writer, full of the highest species of interest that can belong to fictions of this nature, the interest of which apt iugs from the actual life of the scenes and the action represented. Through the medium of an intensely exciting plat, this accomplished writer places before us a series of pictures so siffeulsrly true to nature, and so indi vilualized as to have all the air of portraits, and to create the impression that they must have been drawn from ac tual observation ; and as several of the leading ones among them occupy prominent ald precise positions in public life at the commencenneat of the present century, it is al most impossible to avoid tracing in them, or fancying we trace, likenesses of some of the celebrated men of that pe riod. Who can read, for instince, the admirable sketches of Lord Castleton, the Marquis of Rochfort, Lord Felix, Lord Albany, &c., without feeling that tney are not " of imagination all compact." In this punt of view, as well as to its interest as a lire story, "De Cliff ird" is likely to rival its celebrated predecessors from the same pen. THE LIFE OF PETRA RCM, BY THOMAS CAMPBELL. —We may assert with confidence, that there are very few even among well-informed persons, who know anything more of Petrarch than as a poet and as the adore r o f L aura. They are not aware that this poet of love for all times and all nations, was also a statesman who lived and corresponded with the greatest men of his amissions; who w th a a s t liter r tune ow e e h s i o o r fi t a:J o o diplomatic s for the pains which he took to preserve the andeut classic writers, and to ene esrage a taste for the study of their works. Those who would wish to make themselves ac quainted with Petrarch's history and merits, will learn with interest that the celebrated author of " The Pleasures of Hopo" has just completed a Life of him, in which, with the feeling of a genuine poet he will doubtless do full justice to the character of that eminent man in all its bearings.

ODE ON THE BURIAL OF SIR J. MOORE. (From the Edinburgh Advertiser.) The celebrated ode on the bud it of Sir John Moore, which found so many claimants a namher of years ago. and had been ascribed successively to most of our einiceat living poets, has at length found its true author. This beaut.ful piece of eleeiac composition, unrivalled for pathos and simplicity by any similar producti n in an cient or modern times, after enjoi g on anonymous fame for twenty-five years—after being appropriated to Byron and Campbell—after being claimed by a host of minor rhymsters, from the Apollos of Grub street, to the nameless verse-makers in newspaper cornera, was at length attributed, upon what seemed good evid. nee, to the Reverend Mr. C. Wolf , an Irish curate, and a man of talent far beyond his humble situation. From the time whet Mr. Wolfe's memoirs were published till now, he has enjoyed the undisturbed honour of having written that inimitable ode. It appears, however, that Mr. Wolfe's claim was not well founded, and that the writer of his memoirs had planted on the grave of his hero a laurel which ought in justice to have adorned the brow of another, who still hype, and whom we are proud to call a Scotsman. For the vouchers of this discovery, we appeal to the following documents, furnished by a corres pondent, the Rev. W. Muir, assistant-minister at Temple, of which parish the author of the Ode on the Burial of Sir Jahn Moore, Mr. A. Macintosh, still holds, and has held for the last twenty-two years, the obscure and ill requited office of schoolmaster. Though the time that has elapsed since it was written has necessarily increased the dif f iculties of producing evidence of the authorship, yet, after perusing Mr. Macintosh's very modest letter, and weighing the reasons why he did not sooner assert his claims to a production which had made its unassisted way to universal admiration, we think no candid mind can en tertain a doubt that he wrote the verses wich now, at the end of a quarter of a century, circumstances have induced him to avow. For the honour of a countryman, we trust that our Contemporaries, if they cannot make room for the whole documents, will, at least, give publicity to the inte resting fact which they disclose. (Then follows the correspondence. room for Mr. Macintosh's letter.) `• Rev. and Dear Sea—The circumstances attending the wri.ing of the lines on the buri .1 of Sir John Moore, so far as I can recall them at this distance of time, are simple and easily told. I had been long familiar with the details of the disastrous retreat to Corunna, and felt deeply inte rested in the fate of the gallant but ill-supported Sir John Moore. " In the year 1816, while a student at the Colieee of Edinburg!', I happened to lodge with a Mrs. Henry, whose husband nevi been a , eaferng vets oe, and, if I r Anr.mber well, lost his life at Col-mina while employed in the trans port service, at the embarkati-to of the British Loops, Mrs. Henry had a number of letters, which she sometiin. a took a melancholy plea ure in hearing me read to her, written by friends who had served under Sir J Moore during the whole of the campaige. One of these, written by an eyewitness, depicted in f ectale though homely colours Vac hurried interment of the devoted chief. It was on p , rusing thin last that. I formed the idea of attempt ing a pre.ic al desc , iption of that event. I had been ac customed from my childhood to feel singularly affected when witncssiog the ceremony of a soldier's burial ; and I have no doubt that an occasional sight of this kind from the window cf my bed-room, which looked out upon the Grey f Tars' churchyard, contributed, in the present iritance, to draw my thoughts in that dir.ction. " About this time a young man of the name of Menzies, who had formerly been my schoelfdlow, came to Edin ! burgh to atend the classes at the University, and, owing to our previous intimacy, was frequently in my company. Mr. M. was an enthusiast in every thing relatine to the military profession, and would have esteemed it the snmmit of human ambition to be appoint d to a commieeon in the British army. On seeing the ode in the unfinished st in which it then lay among some other fugitive piece, he professed himself highly pleased with it, but at the same time suggested some ameadments which might he made on it, one or two of which I sub , eq Catty adopted. As Mr. M. took a copy of it oftener than once, I have always been of the opinion that it was through les me ins it after wardswould have toren an easy matter for an y p erson w h o h a d found its way into the public prints; although it access to my lodgings to transcribe it without my know ledge. Whether this was the ease or not, unfortunately I cannot positively say. I was soon afterwards separated from Mr. Menzies, who died about 1820. " In the year 1817, I was a member of a small debating society, which met in Catheriae street, when, on one oc casion, I read the ode along with two or three other short pieces, in place of the essay which it was customary fur each of the members to read in rotation, before opening the debate; but, although I received some general praise, I do not remember that the ode drew any particular notice. " During my residence in Edinburgh, I had, in common with many other young men attending the University, .7 he with t the int e nti on of going t o ca ll cn hi m, ex perienced much kindness from the late Pr o f essor Ch r i st i son. l O h n a e d pu t evening, the a d 'o e o u int rn this y t p i o m e e k , e sub mitting it to bis remark a but during our interview I had not the courage to present it. I have frequently regretted my diffidence on that occasi on, as I have no doubt that Mr. Uhristison's exquisite taste would have at once appreciated those merits which the public were ater.vards pleased to ascribe to it, and thus brought it into notice at a time when the author could not be disputed. We can only make "In 1818 I left Edinburgh for my pre - ent situation. It was a year or two afterwards wiren I first observed the ode in print. It was in one of the Edi.iburgli periodicals, with a commendatory note subjoined, sta•ing that it had recently appeared in one of the newspapers. " About this time the late C , pta'n Clapperton, the African traveller, told me that a friend of his was getting up for publication a selection fr.im the fleeting literature of the day, in which he wished to insert The Burial of Sir John Moore,' and as he bad been told that I was the author of that piece, wished to hare my name adhibit ed to it, to which I consented. C iptal C. shortly after left this place, and I never learned whether the work was published or not. _ " I never 43W Wolfe's Remains' till you put the volume into my hands about two months Ic w a g, I think, Li 18:16 thAt I learned tl,.t the aulior of the memoir of the Rev. C. Wolfe had claimed the ode for that gentleman. I felt somiswhat indignant at th•s; and, with a view to place the matter in i‘s proper 1 eht , wrote to the father of Ar. Menzie, who lived in a distant part of the country, requesting him to search among it his son's papers for the mmiuseript of the line?, but to tit letter no answer was returned. " I then saw that I had allowed the proper time for as serting my claim to pass away ; and being apprehensive lest the public might be unwilling to believe that a piece which had by this time made some little noise in the world. was the production of an obscure individual like myself, I judged it more prudent to forego rry claim than to expose myself to any obloquy on its account. " I am, reverend and dear Sir, yours very truly. A. :MACINTOSH. " Temple, January 1841. " To the Rev. W. Muir." Mr. Macintosh is a native of Athol. After attending the schools in Perth, he completed the usual course of education for the E4tablished Church at the University of Edinburgh. In 1818 he accepted of the parish school of Temple, wivre, for twenty-two years, like many of his laborious and ill-requit e d brotherhood, with attain ments .mmeasurwily superior to their duties and emolu ments, 111 has patiently arid cmaent Ally discharged the irksome duties of his useful offi e. --- SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—On Wed nesday the twentieth anniversary - of the foundation of thin Seaman's Hospital (the well-known Dreadnought, moored i.ff Greenwich) was celebrated at the London Tavern, BiThopstgat,•-strret, by a capital dinner, to which about 150 gentlemen sat down.
