TEMPLETON, Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times." W,S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner , Patern oster .row, London ; Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham - street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers. By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices -- " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system of short-hand I could obtain access to—having myself a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and older of your lessons I think a more rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not only of your particular system, but of the principles of the art generally, by your book than by any other I have seen."—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. " The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons are such a• we hare never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be de sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier. " From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct the learner, it is one of the best works en short-band that a student can possibly lay hold of; and, viewing it in comparison with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a corn petitor."—Manchester Times. " We hale looked through this treatise with much satisfac tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten tion of all intending students of the art., as the most complete, sensible, and practicable system ever brought under our notice." —Manchester and Salford Advertiser. " The arrangement of the lessons is at once novel and ex cellent, and the instruct;ons are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous language. We have no hesitation in saying that the learner needs no other instructor than this little work to enable him to acquire the art , and to practise it with success." —Leeds Times. " We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject that has yet been publis' ed."—Post Magazine. " Mr. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system." —Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton's great experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teae:iing of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of Mr. Templeton's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal of his work, we have formed a very high opinion of its merits." —Leeds Intelligencer. " Among the best works on this branch of science is one lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentleman who has been a long time connected with the English press, and who is as skille I in the practice as in the theory of shorthand writing."—Dublin Pilot. " The exercises given only require a little attention to be understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of shorthand to be able to follow the most fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening Packet. ' " - " We have read this little book with great care and attention, end we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever read on the science of short-hand. It is the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down by the author as proper to he done that he has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had come fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. " Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with the Press, will learn the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and per severe with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at once their money and their time—will deal with the advertising quacks who prof, ss to make men accomplished stenocrraphists in a few days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learniuz its alphabet. Mr. Templeton, professes no such thing. He gives six good lessons in short hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sound adjice, that requires only to be followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. " After giving Mr. Templeton's book a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work on the subject we ever happened to meet."—Bolton Free Press. " The student will find this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the arbi traries, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing, while the rul?s and exercises are so plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald. " To those who are about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we would point out this cheap little work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to realize most of the great and important advantages connected with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has had many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his own private purpme and for the benefit of the public in connection with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this country."—Yorkshireman. Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty other periodicals might be quoted, all of which speak equ a lly in favour of the merits of this little work, - - , ,--) ,-- .0 i ..' ....r, --- . 14ir- : -_-..,-,,,; • 4 1 • ("T I- !- I 'Z ' .4 80: , . • . - - .

The following are the annual Premiums required for the as surance of 1001. on a healthy life in either case:— lotion on the subject, as, according to that opinion, any Com missioner signing a warrant might be placed in a situation of considerable difficulty. H e d i d not think the Court, after the legal opinions taken on the subject, more especially the opinion of Sir W. Follett, was open to any animadversion for including every description of property in the rate, according to the pre sentment of the Jury. After the Court had shown so great a desire to act impartially on the subject, by including churches as weil as chapels, he thought that the Court was bound to carry out the law as far as they could, and if, as it appeared according to Dr. Phillimore's opinion, there was a peculiar protection thrown rou n d churches, that was the fault, not of the Court but of the law, and that they were bound to levy on chapels and proprietary churches. After that opinion, he ap prehended no Commissioner would venture to sign a warrant to levy a distress on consecrated property. He therefore moved, that, on consideration of Dr. Phillimore's opinion, the Court resolved that no warrant shall issue against consecrated churches, chapels, and burial-grounds. tunic 111 r. Caacr. seconded the motion. Sir G. FARRANT----I would oppose the motion if it meant to say that warrants were never to issue. It required a higher authority than that of Dr. Phil imore to set such a question at rest. A COIIIIISSIONF.R Supported the resolution; but after hav ing done so, he could not conscientiously sign a warrant for levying distress on Dissenting •plaer of worship. ➢lr. MutuNs thought they ought to ascertain what eccle siastical censures were before they suffered themselves to be frightened by them from carrying out the statute law. Mr. J. WHITE thought the motion was premature. It would be quite time enough to consider it when payment of rates was refused. Parishes get a profit from churchyards, and thus became traders, and how could property employed in trade, and from which a profit was derived, be considered inter res sacras? Churchyards derived great benefit from sewers, and had no right to steal out of paying their just share of the ex pense. If they did, they ought to be refused every benefit of sewage ; and if the parties claimed this exemption, let them plead it. Mr. THISTLETON DYER was certain that the adoption of this motion would tend to disarm a considerable portion of that hostility which was felt by the public against the Court. He hoped the case had been drawn, as all cases ought to be drawn, by the solicitor from the minute-book. He believed they would have had no application for postponement from Mr. Butt to the 7th May had this resolution been passed. That delay was, in fact, settling the question.—( Hear, hear.) Sir G. FA ItILANT, notwithstanding Dr. Phillimore's opi nion, ,could sign a warrant it it would have the effect of raising a question in a Court of Law. Mr. CRACE supported the motion, because it did notexclude proprietary chapels from rateability, from which a profit was denved. _ _ _ Mr. ATECKETT said if they were right in law, the Eccle siastical Court would be told, by a writ of prohibition, that they had no jurisdiction in the case. He should, however, sup port the motion, because he thought they had no right to rate any of this sort of property ; but if they were to exempt the churches the Dissenters would have cause to complain. Mr. GUNTER -would join Sir George Farrant in signing a warrant of distress unawed by any ecclesiastical censures. Mr. LESLIE wished to know whether this was the real caso and opinion, because such had not always been furnished. They had returned a case into Parliament from that Court with an opinion which had never been given upon the case. The opinion of Sir John Campbell was diametrically opposite to the one returned by the Commissioners to Parliament. The Cu Alnsimi said the worthy Commissioner had found a mare's nest.—( A laugh. ) Mr. LESLIE thought they would find it not a very easy mare's nest to make a false return to Parliament ; they might depend they would hear further of it. Several Commissioners rose to order, on the ground that Mr. Leslie's statement had nothing to do with the motion, and that he was disorderly in imputing falsehood and fraud to the Court. The CHAIRMAN said the solicitor was in attendance, and would answer any questions that might be put to him. In the case alluded to Sir W. Horne and Sir J. Campbell had given an opinion, which it was thought by those acquainted with the law of sewers was wrong. A consultation was held with those gentlemen and they revised their opinion, and the revised opinion was the one alluded to. In the present case, how ever, the Clerk had answered that the case and opinion were correctly given. Mr. LESLIE said that the carrying the resolution was sign ing the death-warrant of the Commission. They had made the decrees, and now this resolution went :to rescind a portion of them. The decree had gone out of the Court. It was the final judgment of the Court, and there were others interested in , the decree who would see that they did carry it out. The question ought to be tried by a higher tribunal. He believed they could rate no one but land lord and tenant, yet the Commissioners had been induced by the opinion surreptitiously obtained from Sir W. Horne and Sir John Campbell, that they could levy a distress on any goods on the premises ; but the opinion of Sir John Camp bell positively said that he thought the Commissioners could only levy on the goods of the persons rated. He had always urged the Court to try the question at once. They had gone on with delay after delay. until atlast they would be beaten, because they would have the wrong parties before the Court ; and if the Court decided the late to be illegal they would have to refund every sixpence to the ratepayers. He was the best friend to the stability of th Commission who, when their rights were dis puted, urged the to try it at once. In allusion to his former statement of the 1 rong opinion and the wrong case, he begged to state that a cas was submitted to Sir W. Horne and Sir J. Campbell, who had each given an opinion. A second case was drawn up, and their opinion taken upon that. The second opinion was attached to the first case, and returned to Parlia ment. It occurred in 1833. Mr. WILLOUGHBY rose to order. The case had nothing to do with the question of churches. Mr. LESLIE contended it had, as the opinion had been quoted when it was first proposed to rate churches, and in that opinion they had proceeded to rate the premises instead of the occupier, as they were bound to do according to the opinion of Lord Coke, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Tenterden, and. Lord Denman. Who was the owner of St. Giles's church ? who derived the benefit from it? who was the landlord of it? who was. the tenant of St. Giles' Church ? No one ; and that was the reason their predecessors had never rated it. He had at every stage of the proceedings warned the Court. He believed that the public would not eventually . suffer, but the Commissioners going beyond the authority of the CoThmission would has e to pay the expense themselves ; and he hoped it would be so. Was the mode of their pro ceeding one that ought to be adopted in a Court of Justice? They had originally been misl e d into the adoption of the course. He did not accuse the Court of fraud ; he believed it ad been deceived. They must try the right, and the Boone hey did it the better ; because if the rate should be decided against them they would have the money to refund. Mr. SMITH, the Solicitor, on looking over the case of 1533, said it was evident that Mr. L es li e was right. Mr. LESLIE said it was now admitted by their own solicitor that the Court had returned a wrong case and opinion to the House of Commons ; and on that wrong case and opinion they had been induced to adopt their present course. He could not vote on the present occasion, because he held their whole proceedings to be void ab initio. Mr. T. H. JOHNSON thought the error admitted by their Solicitor was a most serious one, and he believed it was upon that opinion that the traverse Jury had been misled. The law had always appeared to him an extraordinary one. The CHAIRMAN said in the first case, Sir W. Horne and Sir John Campbell differed in opinion : in the second, addi tional arguments were submitted to them, and on those further arguments being given, Sir John Campbell changed his mind, and agreed with Sir W. Horne. Mr. THISTLETON DYER thought it behoved the Court to have the matter cleared up. It was a grave charge, that of havin g made an improper return to the House of Commons. Mr. FULLER said the simple question was whether the judg ment of the Court should be arrested upon the bare opinion of Dr. Pli'llimore ? Could they by law make a distinction be tween a licensed place of worship and a consecrated one ? If they thought the rate bad let it be abandoned ; if they thought itlgood let them support it at all risks. He should not vote on the question. Mr. BEACH c:Aild not support the motion, believing, as he did, that all property was liable to the Sewers-rate. He could not, on the single ipse digit of Dr. Fhillimore, consent to abrogate the decisions of numberless majorities of the Court, and he should vote against the motion. Let them appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench for instructions how to proceed, or failing that, to petition the Legislature to bring in a Bill ex plaining whatever was difficult of understanding in the pre sent law. Captain BAGUE thought that if this motion were carried, it would stultify all their proceedings. He should certainly op pose it. Mr. WILLOUGHBY replied, and the Court divided— For the motion ..• Against it Majority against the motion Mr. WILT:OUGHBY said he presumed :the Court would not separate without coming to some decision as to what they would do. A Ir. LESLIE said the question, in fact, was decided by the negativing of Mr. Willoughby's motion. Sir Joint HANSLEft rose for the purpose of explaining the reason of his absence when his motion relating to Special Juries was called on. That motion had been postponed by the Court to a day on which he had to attend a licensing meeting of Magistrates. As soon as his business had been transacted then be came to this Court, and understood that his notice had been passed over, and that he must renew his notice, and when he had been told that he left the Court. The Court then proceeded to hear the reports of the sur veors, and having disposed, of some other o r di nar y b us i n e ss adjourned at half-past five o clock. juries, which shortly afterwards caused his death. He did not see either of the prisoners actually strike the deceased, but they were bosh active in the affray. The surgeon who bad been called in to sttend upon the deceased was then examined, and he. proved that his debar was occasioned by injuries to the brain. These injuries might have been the result of a f4ll on the stones LI- from a blow, but he could not take upon himself to state posi tively which was the most likely to have occasioned them. Mr. ESPINAFSE said, he did not propose to call any more witnessses. The charge of assault, at least, api•eared to he clearly made out. Mr. BODKIN rerated his former statement relative to the regret of the prisoners for the unfortunate occurrence, and he at the sane time admitted that he could not defend them from the charge of assault. The Learned JUDGE having briefly addressed the Jury, they returned a verdict finding the prisoners Guilty of an assault'. Mr. Baron PARRS tben said that taking into considera tion the eircumstabees of the case, and the fact that the prisoners appeared to have already undergone some im prisonment, be thought the justice of the case would be satisfied by the infliction of a fine of one shilling upon each of the defendants, and that they should also be im prisoned for three days. William Pearse, 45, was charged with the manslaughter of Anne Hills. It appeared from tl:c evidence adduced that the prisoner and the deceased had a dispute about some trifling matter, and the deceased threw a tea cup at the prisoner, and he struck her. She then, it appeared, bit him, and in the scuffle she NI to the ground, and injured her head so se verely that she died shortly afterwards. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and Baron Parke, on consideration of his having already been in prison several months, sentenced him to a further impri sonment of one month. CIVIL SIDE. SHOEBRIDGE V. WARD. This inquiry was a prolix one, which related to the tithes in the parish of Tenterden, and the question was whether the clergyman was entitled to tithe in kind, or by way of modes or composition. Alr. THESIGER for the plaintiff, contended that the dis tricts of the different kinds of land had not been defined. Lord DENMAN, who summed up considerable length, took the same view of the case. _ - _ The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant. There was another action against the same Rev. defendant at the suit of Mr. Weld. The Solicitor-General consented to the same verdict as in the last case, upon the same summing up, and a verdict for the defendant was recorded. WITIIOIUT PROFITS.

COURT OF SEWERS, WEST- MINSTER. A Court of Sewers for the City and Liberties of Wcstmin and part of the County of Middlesex, was yesterday held at the office of the Commissioners, in Greek-street, S.sho, Thomas Donaldson, Esq., in the Chair. The minutes of the proceedings of the last Court having been read and con firmed, and the usual routine business having been transacted, a letter was read from Mr. Bicknell, the solicitor to the Chel sea Hospital, stating that the Commissioners of the Hospital had had an application made to them for a Sewers-rate o 85t., which they intended not to pay without taking a judicial decision on the question ; and therefore requesting, in order to raise the question, that a formal distress should be made, when the Commissioners of the Hospital would bring an action against the person so levying the distress, which would have the effect of raising the question. A warrant was ordered to be prepared to be laid before the Court on Friday next, and the clerk was directed to consult the solicitor as to the proper form of drawing up the warrant. Mr. BUTT, the solicitor for the parish of St. George's Bloomsbury, applied for additional time to be afforded to that parish before the issuing of warrants for the Sewers-rate. The opinion of Counsel had been taken by the parish on the sub ject. That opinion had been referred to a Committee, many members of which were absent on circuit, and he, not having received any instruction, could not give an answer. He there :ore prayed for a further delay until the 3d May next. Mr. CANTWELL moved that the application be granted. Mr. BEACH seconded the motion. Mr. LESLIE opposed it on the ground that it was contrary to the bye-law which directed that the collector's book should be cleared in seven months. The Court had no power to grant it, and he should move an amendment to that effect. The CHAIRMAN said that the bye-law was merely for the regulation of the collectors, and that it was by no means imperative on the Court to clear the book in seven months. Mr. A'BECKETT objected to any further indulgence being granted, for after Easter all the parochial officers might .be changed. Mr. J. Fur.r.za thought that delay would only increase the difficulty, and the granting it in this instance would not be fair to other parties. He seconded the a mendment. The CHAIRMAN thought a sufficient case hail been made out to authorise the granting of the application, and could not see how it would affect unfairly any other parties. Tho Court divided on Mr. Leslie's amendment, when there appeared, for it, 4, against it, 14. The original motion wry then put and carried. Several appeals and petitions having been disposed of, The Court proceeded to consider the opinion of Dr. Phillimore as to levying upon Churches, &c., with a view to take such steps therein, and give such instructions in conse quence thereof, as may be considered necessary. [The opinion of Dr. Phillimore has already appeared in The Sun.] The Mr.wcas i e LL an o d ucli ep jayinio,fibeen read by the Clerk, as s havingthe Commissioner who moved the re ference to Dr. Phillimore, felt it his duty to submit some reso- WITII PROFITS.

There appeared from the evi dence of the medlcvl gentlemen to be very considerable doubt as to the actual cause of death, and it could not be distinctly shown whether it arose from a blow or a fall, and as that was the case he felt it his duty to withdraw from the charge of\manslaughtcr, although he apprehended that the prisoners must be convicted of an assault. Mr. BODKIN said that, on behalf of the prisoners, h e must declare his conviction, that he could not str ugg 1 0 against a conviction fo r assault, and with tt .e consent of the Court, they would at onco plead Guilty to that charge. He, at the same time, was instructed by them to confess their deep regret for the unfortunate occurrence which had taken place. Mr. Baron Palma inemated that it would be better for the facts to be briefly gone into. Lieutenant Solid), of the 54th regiment, wasthen called, and from his evidence it appeared, that in the month of December last, the deceased was walking along with him, when some occurrence took place which led to a dispute and struggle with the prisoners, the deceased and som e others, and he observed one of the prisoners holding the deceased, and, shortly afterwards, he saw him upon the ground, when it was ascertained that _ho had received in. NORFOLK CIRCUIT—HuxriNanoN, MARCH 18. CROWN SIDE.: (Before Mr. Justice BOSAYQUET. ) Charles Cole, a boy of respectable connections, aged 15 years, was indicted for feloniously assaulting Edward H. Ro berts, a boy about ten years of age, and stealing from him a bay pony, a'bridle, saddle, and whip. The young adventurer, wko took so early to the road, met the juvenile prosecutor on a day in the latter end of last Janu ary, riding a pony which his father had given him, on the pub lic road near Marborn. He immediately commanded him to " stand and deliver," producing a pistol at the same time, which he pointed at the boy's head, and who was compelled by him to dismount'and give up the pony with the caparisons. The prisoner told him to go to the other side of the way, and then rode off on the pony, having first told the youngster that "if his father inquired for the animal, he might find him the next thy at York." Soon after the prisoner rode off with the boy's pony, he was met by a servant orthe father of the young gentleman, who was on foot, proceeding towards Marborn, and who at once recognised the pony, and supposing the thief was a friend of his young master touched his hat and wenton. He had not proceeded far, however, when he found his young master on the way, wringing his hands, and lamenting the loss of his pony. He instantly pulled off his coat and waistcoat and gave the stripling robber chase' but he he put the pony to speed, and the servant was compelled to give up the pursuit. He went home and informed his master, who mounted his horse and rode ten miles, when he came up with the thief, with whom he entered into conversation. They rode into Stamford together, and Mr. Roberts having proposed that they should stop to have some refreshment. they alighted, when be collared the thief, and there was found on him a loaded pistol, 11 bullets, with powder and flints. He was convicted, and sentenced to fifteen years' trans portation. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YoRr. MARCH 18. Joseph Wood, Thomas Shaw, and John Shaw, were found guilty of a burglary in the dwelling-house of Charles Haigh, at Lingard, on the 24th February last. John Hamon Sutton, a Canadian, and a person of very re spectable appearance, was indicted for forging a certain coin resembling a dollar of the republic of Mexico. The indictment, was framed under the 37th George 111., chap. 126, sec. 2, which was passed for the purpose of pre venting the counterfeiting of foreign coin. It recited, that the practice of counterfeiting foreign gold and silver coin, and the bringing into the realm, and uttering within the same, false and counterfeit foreign gold and silver coin, and particularly pieces of gold coin commonly called Louis d'ors, and pieces of silver coin commonly called dollars, had of late greatly in creased, and it was expedient that provisions should be made more efectually to prevent the same. It was then enacted that " if any person should, from and after the passing of that Act, make, coin, or counterfeit any kind of coin, notthe proper coin of the realm, nor permitted to be current within the same, but resembling, or made with intent to resemble or look like any gold or silver coin of any foreign Prince, state, or country, or to pass such foreign coin, such person or persons so offending therein shall be guilty of felony, and be transported for seven years." The prisoner had not himself made this coin, but he had employed others to do so under his superintendenee. It appeared, that on the 10th of December last he went to Sheffield, and called on a man of the name of Briggs, a silversmith. He looked at his stock of Ger man sil ver, and asked if he could not make some medals for him of a harder metal. He said he wanted them for traffic among the Indians of North America, in the fur trade. Ultimately, Mr. Briggs agreed to supply him with 2,4001., and he produced a die from which he wished to have them struck. Mr. Briggs required a deposit, as the prisoner was a stranger, and he left 90 sovereigns with him. Some of the medals were then struck off, and tke prisoner said he should require holes to be made in them and some rings and chains. Mr. Briggs told him he would get the latter better at Birmingham. ' The' die, after several of the medals were struck off, began to wear out, and the prisoner employed a person named Brown to stake another. Brown, it seemed, soon entertained a suspicion that the medals were being made to represent coins, and he imparted his suspicions to Briggs, who immediately wrote to the prisoner at Liverpool requesting him to come to Sheffield. He accordingly came, and had an interview with Brown, when he informed him that the act was perfectly ;legal, stated the purpose for which he wanted them, and showed him letters from a die-sinker in London named Withers, who had made the original die, by which it appeared that inquiries had been made at the Bullion-office, as to the le gality of the transaction, which Withers deemed satisfactory. Mr. Briggs, however, declined to go on with the order, and the pri soner agreed to pay him 401. for the trouble and expense he had been put to, and 5/. as compensation for his declining to take a quantity of cutlery, which he had ordered for the American market. He made an appointment to see Briggs on the fol lowing day, but in the meantime he was apprehended on this charge. On his person were found the letter referred to from Mr. Withers, and a letter from a person named Blis., in Ame rica, referring to the prisoner's appointment as Agent for a Fur Company, at a salts , y of 1,200 dollars a year, and speak ing of his purpose in coming to England being to obtain a supply of goods fit for the fur trade. air. BA INES addressed the Jury for the prisoner, contend ing that all the circumstances of the case showed it to be a bona fide . transaction, and that the medals were merely intend ed for the purpose he had stated—viz., traffic with the Ameri can Indians. His LORDSHIP summed up, telling the Jury that he really did not think it could be said that the prisoner intended to pass these medals as coin, which intention he must have in order to bring him within the provisions of the Statute under which the indictment was framed. The Jury entertained the same opinion, and immediately re turned a verdict of Acquittal. Mr. Justice MAULa was occupied the greater part of the day in trying a Special Jury case, " Doe dem. M%rewood v. the Earl of Harewood and others," relative to the right of a large portion of land from which the sea had receded. It was expected to have lasted two days. The details were uninteresting. The Jury found in favour of the defendants. The business has been so heavy here that in order to get through it in time to open the Commission at Lancaster on Saturday next (this day) three Criminal Courts hare been sitting. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BAiVICRUPTCY, Mincir 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF BIDDULPIS, WRIGHT, AND CO., BANKERS. This being the day appointed for the adjourned examination of Mr. Biddulph and Mr. John Wright (the other two part ners, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Jerningham having at the last. hearing passed their final examination), a very numerous body of creditors were in attendance, and several fresh claims were admitted without any opposition. A claim was made for 6,4761. 9s. 4d. upon the part of the executors of a gentleman, named Burton, against the separate estate of Mr. Wright Biddulph, a similar claim having been already admitted against the separate estate of Mr. John Wright. The ground of claim was that the money being de posited in the bank as a trust fund, it was diverted from its legitimate object, and used for the general banking purposes, and being a breach of trust was equally provable against all the partners. Mr. Hamilton objected, as the executors upon whose part this claim was now preferred were perfectly cognizant of the manner in which the sum in question was appropriated by Mr. John Wright, and without the slightest knowledge on the pat of Mr. Biddulph. The trustee now seeking to claim was equally guilty of a breach of trust with his co-trustee, and un til he had first paid the claim, he could not prove against such co-trustee. Mr. Commissioner Hor.noYn said that the trust money should have been invested in the proper funds, but its having been left in the bank an improper time, and the bankruptcy of such bank subsequently taking place, he did not see how any distinction could be properly made between bankers and other individuals. Mr. Hamilton said the question was a new one, and he wished its consideration to be deferred until the next meeting. A discussion of some length ensued, when The Learned COMMISSIONER. directed the claim to stand over until the next hearir.g, as he could not admit a claim for so large an amount upon a mere deposition. Mr. Hamilton said that he would certainly oppose the claim, and also move that the claim formerly admitted for the same sum against the separate estate of John Wri g ht should be expunged.—Claim deferred. A gentleman appeared to claim for an overheld check under the following circumstances. A bond was givenwhichwas Government to each holder of their stock , upon en dorsed that the interest was to be paid at the kap e k e in -1i g lo hsz of Messrs. Wrights , with whom the money he had b for the payment of such interest, which t y had received from the Government of Cuba. A c heck had been given or the payment of this interest (or dividend), but was not pre sented in due time. The Learned CoNtmissioNen thought that the claim, under such circumstances should be admitted. Mr. Hamilton said the assign ees had no objection to the PRICE 51. dmisslon of the proofs, but they wished to have the coupons delivered up, which was done accordingly, and the proof ad mitted. A claim was made by a party for the recovery of a number of shares of this bank, which he had deposited with the Lank rupts as a security for a loan, part of which had been already paid, and the remainder of which the claimant was now ready to hand over to the assignees. Mr. Hamilton said it was a question whether the shares were not to be considered as goods and_chattels in the re puted ownership of the bankrupts, and, as such, it could not be settled without an application to the Court of Review. The Lords Commissioners had decided in the affirmative of the principle for which he contended, in the recent case of ex parte Watkins, although another opinion was held by the Court of Review. He, of course, referre d to the case of shares standing in the name of a bankrupt wi th a secret trust.. The Learned CObIMISSIONER observed that the Lord Chan cellor would direct an assignment of stock or shares in "any public company" to their proper owners, in cases where the parties with whom they were lodged were bankrupts. The claim was deferred for further argument. Mr. George Robins, the celebrated auctioneer of Covent garden, claimed to prove for a sum of 1,7051. 12s. Id. He understood that it would be resisted, and he was told that he would be only permitted to prove for 2471. I Is. Id. The circumstances of the case were these :—A few years ago I was speaking to my banker and friend, Mr. Wright, about the low rate of interest which I obtained for my money, upon which that gentleman asked me if I could lend 17,0001. to Mr. Howard, the nephew of the Duke of Norfolk, at five per cent., to which I immediately an swered most willingly, but upon good security. Mr. Wright then spoke of debentures in the Southampton Company, but I refused, unless the bankers would give use their own security. Ttis was agreed to. I advanced the money ; the shares were deposited in my strong box at the bank, and the interest was regularly credited in the bankers' books to my account. I subsequently drew out 5,000/., when it was proposed by Mr. Wright that Cuba bonds should be substituted for Southampton debentures, and to that I also agreed, but still holding the bankers as my security. The money I had so advanced was handed over to Mr. Howard, but the memorandum for its receipt to me was only signed by Mr John Wright, and now I understand it is to contended that I am only entitled to prove against his separate estate, although the dealing was treated in the said memorandum as for "our" house, and holding " ourselves" liable for any loss which might arise upon the sale of the Cuba bonds. Mr. Howard repaid the money to the bankers, and I now seek to prove for the loss which I have sustained in the sale of the' Cuba bonds at 651., I having taken them at 80/. when the then market price was 86/. This is my " round unvarnished tale," which I thus publicly state, lest it should be supposed that I made so large an advance without adequate security. Mr. Hamilton said that, if he had known of the memoran dum before, no objection would have been offered ; and, after some further conversation, the proof was admitted. Mr. Robins then said he thought that he should have had a share in the sale of the bankrupt's (-state. He was not beg ging employment, but he thought that it was justly due to him. Mr. Hamilton said the assignees had employed those gen tlemen who had large deposits, and were considerable suf- ferers. Mr. Commissioner HOLIROYD said the matter was entirely at the discretion of the assignees, and the further hearing was adjourned for a month. • ADMIRALTY COURT, M.inem 19. THE MARRIOTT—COLLISION. The Learned JUDGE was assisted in this and the following ease by Captain Robert Welbank and Captain Alexander Weynton, two of the elder brethren of the Trinity House, the points in dispute involving questions of nautical skill. In the case of the Harriott, the principal question in dispute was, whether this vessel or the Woodpark was in fault, the latter having received much damage by coming in collision with the Harriott on the Ist of October last, off the coast of Suffolk. The Harriott was at the time on a voyage from Lon don to the north, and the Woodpark was proceeding to the Thames with a cargo of coals. The night was dark, and the Harriott starboarded her helm to avoid the collision, while the Woodpark, having the wind free, kept on her course, as she was bound to do according to the rules of navigation. After hearing counsel on either side, the TRINITY MAS TERS said they had no doubt that the Woodpark was close hauled, and that the Harriott ought to have given way. The Harriott was in error. Dr. LUSHINGTON entirely concurred with the decision of the Trinity Masters, and pronounced against the Harriott for the amount of the damage and costs. THE BRITISH DOMINION. This is a claim for compensation made by the owners of the steamer Sunbeam against the owners of another steamer, the British Dominion, for damage suffered by the former vessel from a collision between them. The facts, as appeared from the evidence, were simply these :—The two vessels, of the same size and characters, were steam-tugs, and they together, started from Hartlepool, on the 26th November last, to tow the Tees dale, a brig, then lying at the mouth of the Tees, up the river. In the darkness of the night they parted company, and did not see each other till one of them, having passed the starboard, and the other the larboard side of the brig, they ran into each other, and the Sunbeam went down. This was the collision which caused the present proceedings, and the question for the decision of the Trinity Masters, who assisted the Court also in this case, was which vessel was to blame. The TRINITY MASTERS at once decided that " the accident was entirely caused by the British Dominion having approached with too great speed, and without that judgment which the position of the vessels required." The Cott wr—l of course pronounce for the damage. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man named Richard Winton was brought be foro Sir Peter Laurie charged with having stolen a dozen pair of stockings from the shop of a haberdasher in the Poultry. The prisoner was seen to walk into the shop, take the bundle of stockings openly, and walk out deliberately, without attempting to avoid observation or to hasten away with his plunder. The policeman into whose custody he was given stated that the unfortunate lei evidently comruittei the robbery for the purpose of being prosecuted. Gooch, the turnkey of the Giltspur-street Compter, one of those good inclined fellows who sometimes are to be found in situations of the kind, said that he greatly pitied the poor lad, who, he believed, had not a friend in world, and, having lost his character, could obtain no sort of employment. The turnkey added that nobody could have behaved better in confinement than the prisoner, who acknowledged that his necessities were so groat that ho wished to be saved from perishing by transportation. There was no sort of deception or humbug about the poor fellow at all. _ _ . Sir PETER LAURIE—I perceive that be has been a pi goner before. _ _ Gooch—He has been in the Compter before. It was there I bad the opportunity of judging of him, and I have the greatest compassion for him. iii Sir PETER LAURIE—What were you in prison for, pri soner ? Prisoner—For housebreaking, Sir. Sir PETER LAURIE—Were you tried ? Prisoner — I war, and convicted, and sentenced to 12 months' im prisonment. Sir PETER LAURIE—You were guilty? Prisoner—l was ; I deserved what I received. Mr. Hobler—What sort of housebreaking was it, for there are several sorts ? Prisoner—lt was housebreaking at night in a house in Moorfields. There was no excuse for it. Sir PETER, LAURIE—Were you in want at the time ? Prisoner—By no means.' Sir PETER LAURIE—You bad accomplices, I suppose ? Prisoner—l had, but I was the only one punished. Sir PET ER LAURIE—They escaped, and I dare say per- Riedel you to join in the affair ? Prisoner—They escaped. I would rather say no more on that subject. I have suf fered the penalty of the law, and I came out on the Ist of March, and ha , e been walking about ever since, for no body will employ me. Sir P. LAURIE—Poor boy ! I believe there are thou sands in the same condition. What is an unfortunate fel low who repents the first act of detected dishonesty to do? Every one is afraid to employ him, and he cannot lie down and starve. I believe the evidenca given by the Chaplain to Coldbbth-fields prison, who said before a Par liamentar y Committee, that he never lost sight of a prisoner after the first introduction to prison until death or transportation in terfered. Prisoner—l am desirous of going out of the country, my Lord, and I know of no other way of getting out, and I trust that you will kindly assist me. Sir P. LAURIE—I shall commit you for trial, and repre sent your case, and I hope that you may be treated merci fully. Gooch—His conduct in prison has been quite a pattern to others. Sir P. LAURIE—He is committed for trial. Let him be treated kindly. KENSINGTON POLICE COURT Yesterday Mr. Charles Egan, barrister-at-law and return ing officer at the last election of guardians for the Kensington Union, appeared before Mr. G. CLIVE, the sitting magistrate at the Kensington Police Court, to answer a summons under the statute of sbth of George 111., cap. 69, sec. 6, which set forth "that he had possession of certain parish books and writings belonging to the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, and re fused to give them up for the use of the parish, thereby in curring a penalty, not exceeding 501., or not less than 40s.

Mr. Egan pleaded " Not guilty " toohe c harge, but said he had certain books and papers in his p se:•sion, which he be lieved to be the prOperty of the Board of Guardians of the Kensington Union. Mr. L o veland said, that the circumstances relating to the case were shortly these :—The derendant, Mr. Charles Egan, was appointed relievine•-officer at the last electionppointmen of G t uardians for the Kensington 'Union, under which a Mr. Egan called upon the c hurchwardens and overseers of St. Luke's, Chelsea, to produce certain books and parsers, which, for the purposes of the election ] were left in Mr. Egan's care, on his promise to return them. Mr. Egan had them in use for nearly three months, but after the election was over, when he was asked to return them, he declined doing so, on the ground that he wanted them for the purpose of substantiating an acti on l he had commenced a g ainst the Board of Guardians for V e amoun t of his bill. Th at action had since been tried in the Court of Queen's B ench, and a verdict given against Mr. Egan, notwithstanding,- which Mr. Egan still detained the booksan i papers, although it was well known to every one he could h ave no her. upon said o a n them' A r , he was going to move for a new tr i al, and great moment and ina theArrerf.orceLwivarrA seadidthtehme . ease was One of After lengthened arguments on both lid p d o e r fe t r ane h e is to d e e Nz is r i y m p i a u ri n sl t t il th h r e ou i g ia h (t ou l t n t a h t e m k .e i lny points.lie parties then withd rew , gdoni and he should considered all the and as Mr. Egan left the Court he was served by Pummel, the K ens i ng t on beadle, with a Ro tire to return similar books, which he also detains. &c., belonging to that parish, ///, EV ENING EDITION LETTER Fawn JOSEPH STURGE, ESQ. ( From the Anti-Cars-law Circular.) It is with no ordinary feelings of pleasure that we present the following letter to our readers. For the information of those who know Mr. Sturge only as an active member of the Anti- Corn-law League, it may be as well to state that ho was one of the foremost of that baud of philanthropists who struck the fetters from th e ens l ave d negro. Hi s grea t es t achievement in she cause of injured humanity was, however, subsequently to the pussiesth a ta n i o n f t the e rm edi at Emancipation estagco A f Act. preOnttiircreeashdiper,,s.aiSsiloi one e rri o ern f b th er e provisions of that Act ; two years of which had not elapsed be fore rumours reached this country respecting the gross oppress slows under which the coloured labourers were suffering. Nr. Sturge did not wait for the tardy co n fi rma ti on o f those re:- ports. He stept on board the first ship destined for the West Indies, and visited those islands in detail, penetrating to the interior of Jamaica, putting himself in personal communica tion with the negro in his hut, and seek!ng out the victims of oppression even in their dungeons. After satisfying himsclf of the truth of the reports, at no little risk to himself, an the then exasperated state of the planters' minds, he returned to England to undertake a task which woull have dismayed any man less insensible to fesr or doubt, when embarked in a just cause, than Joseph Sturge. The old anti-slavery party, which for the third of a century had been in active operat.ion,was dissolved at the passing of the Emancipation Act. It was now necessary to reorganise this body, to bring its forces once more into the field, and to bid them fight the battle of emancipation me r again. Our unwearied philanthropist traversed the country night and day, roused the prostrate energies of his old associates, who concentrated all their moral influence, through the electors of the kingdom, upon the House of Commons and Government, and the result was, as all will remember, the abandonement of the apprenticeship system. Lord Brougham has been heard to declare that this second abolition of slavery was the work of one man, and that that man was Joseph Sturge. To find that our conduct and principles have secured the approbation of such a man, is a satisfactory proof that the object we aim at is just, and that the means by which we pursue it are justifiable ; and to find him co-operating with us is a cheering proof that our labours will not be in vain : ' "TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CIRCULAR. " As circumstances are likely to precluie my paying any personal attention, for the prese nt, to the great object for which the Anti-Corn-law League is established, the immediate and entire abr-,lition of the tax upon the food of the people, I have concluded to doub!i my contribution to their funds for the present year, provided there is no compromise of the high and impregnable ground the League ha s taken, and that they will neither relax from their efforts nor swerve from their pur pose until they have obtained the complete removal of this disgraceful and cruel impost. " The An'i-Corn-law League has already acquired suffi cient influence to make the political partisan very anxious to make it subservient to his narrow and selfish views and pur poses ; and, perhaps, there never was a time in which it was in greater danger of splitting upon the rock upon which so many institutions, having noble objects in view, have made shipwreck : I mean an increase of supporters, who a e with out any steady principle, but who join it because they see it is becoming popular, and who may be so numerous as to out-vow those who have borne the burden and heat of the day, and who hare long laboured at the oar, with only the good of their country at heart, uninfluenced by any selfish or party motives, I have, however, not only so much confidence in the high prin ciple of the leaders of the League, but of the numerical force of their honest supporters, that I fully believe any attempt, such as the one to which I have alluded, by their enesnies us disguise, would be instantly met, and indignantly repudiated. " I am, very respectfully, " JOSEPH STURGE. " Birmingham, 3d month, 6th, 1841." Mr. Sturge's year's subscription was 1001. which he has thus munificently advanced to 2001. He is about to leave England, we believe, for a contemplated absence of a few months. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Chronicle of this day, alluding to Mr. Walt.- ley's speech in the House of Commons last night, says :-- " The Hon. Member for Finsbury would invest overseers of the poor and guardians with discretionary powers, with which no set of men ought to be trusted, and which would erect an inquisition in every parish. The object of a Poor-law is not to reward merit, but to relieve. The law says, all who are in destitution shal receive food, and shelter, and clothing ; were it to endeavour to do more, it would fail, and only add to the distress it sought to prevent." The Times , reverting again to the Poor-law question, observes :—" Lord J. Russell and his allies will understand by this time what prospect they have of silencing the opposition of the country to their favourite mea sure. Even if they carry through the present Bill, and re ceive from the hands of Sir R. Peel a five years' renewal of their lease of power, they can hard)) flatter themselves that they will be left in calm and peaceful possession for that period. On this point they shall have no peace." The Morn ing Post remarks, in allusion to M‘Leod's case :—" We ven ture to say that the sense and honour of our country are, with out doubt or hesitation, opposed to America in this matter, and resolved to enforce what is right. Since the United States have become a nation, nothing has occurred so produc tive in this country of contempt for her Government, as the proceedings towards Mr. Mq.eod." The Morning Herald thus comments on Mr. Wakley's attack last night in the House of Commons on the Reformed Parliament :—" By a strange identity of fortune, the New Poor-law, and the Reform Bill, the longer they are permitted to exist, the more thoroughly they are known, are the more decidedly scouted, distrusted, and dishonoured." BELGIUM. (From Galignuni's Illessengcr. MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN BEM: IU Nl.—The Senate at Brus sels has been debating for some days on the budget, and on the general policy of the actual Belgian . Cabinet. A long and important sitting took place on Monday, at which Count H. do Merode and two other Members opposed the policy of the Cabinet, and declared themselves in favour of a Ministerial modification. The Senate adjourned that day without coming to an . , decision. On Tuesday the debate was resumeJ, and a personal discussion ensued between M. de Pelichy and the Ministers. Afterwards an address to the King was read, praying his Majesty to modify the composition of the Cabinet- The following is the text of the proposed address:— "Sire—The nationality of Belgium was founded on the union of divergent opinions, combining for one common object. The maintenance of this union can alone admit of the develop ment of the numerous elements of prosperity possessed by the kingdom, and gurantee its political existence. The deplorable divi• b h o i e s o h n a o N f • e t h b e e e n n a t n i t o a n n a i fe r e A p e r d e s d e u n r t i a n t g i the n ar e a present new p S r e o s o - f sion s i n t s h o w of the inability of the legislative assemblies to occupy them selves with the real wants of the nation, when parties become more and more estranged from each other instead of being re conciled. Such a stags of things, Sire, fetters the regular pro gress of Government, and injures the dearest interests of Bel gium. It is on this point that the Senate has particularly found it necessary to occupy itself. Being an essentially mediating power, its efforts will constantly be directed to reconcile contending opinions, and to promote gene ral interests. The Senate considers it to be its duty to call the attention of your Majesty to a position whence, real dangers may arise. It places full confidence in that high wisdom, that impartiality, to which men of all opinions take pleasure in rendering just homage. It has a full ccconviction.that whatever may be the means you r Majesty. may think fit to employ in putting a stop to these disastrous divisions, all wise and moderate men will rally round you, and thus render to the monarchy, which is elevated above all party-feeling, support necessary to enable it to fulfil the mission assigned to it. Your Majesty may rely upon the unalterable devotedness of the Senate and its loyal concurrence in your enlightened views, Sire, for the union and prosperity of the country." This proposition was signed by Baron Dubois de Nevele, the Baron de Peuthy, M. Van Sachegem, Count Vanderstraeten tie Ponthos, M. DI-loop, the Count de Brieg, Baron Della faille, the Baron de l'elichy Van Huerne, M. de Rouille, the Baron de Stockhem, and the Baron de Mooreghem. lONIAN ISLANDS.
