LAW INTELEIGENCE.-e(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. VIDDLER V. VARRATT. A petition was .presented in this matter, praying for an order of reference to the Master to enquire whether the marriage of a ward - was valid, and if it were, to approve of .a proper settlement.—Prayer Fruited. • • IN TUT MATTER OF SIR THOMAS SMITH, A LUNATIC. Mc. :WAKEFIELD_ presented a petition in this lunacy, which prayed the Court to refer the matter to the Master to enquire, whether certain incum• brancea on the lunatic's_ estate should, be paid eff, and whether further securities should be taken in Sii Thomas's name.—Order of reference made. • IN THE MATTER OF FOALREC, A BANKRUPT. A gentleman behind the Bar Stated, that accord ing to the manner in which the minutes of the order of the Court had been drawn up, Mr. Smith, the attorney, Was called upon to pay not only the - eoSts of the supplemental petition on which. the order had been made, but of the original petition long ago dis posed of, which was apprehended to be a mistake. Mr. Rosa considered the gentleman irregular, inasmuch as no notice had been given of this appli- • cation ; but he had no hesitation in saying, that there must be a mistake, if the minutes were as had been represented, as far as went to the costs of the supplemental petition ; but certainly the Court had ordered the costs of the last petition, and of a motion which had been made. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he had distinctly ordered the costs of the supplemental petition to be paid by Mr. Smith personally, and that the costs of the motion should also he given. Mr. Smith's Counsel then applied for leave to present a petition on behalf of Mr. S., praying that he might be relieved from the order calling upon him personally to pay the costs, upon the ground of bringing forward evidence that was not deemed necessary by Counsel to be brought forward on the last occasion, and which it was now supposed would make a material alteration in the Court's view of the case. His LORDSHIP said, Mr. Smith had written a variety of letters to him out of Court, which he ought not to have done, and which, therefore, he I should certainly not read. He might present another petition, but he would have to risk the consequences. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. CONST V. HARRIS. Mr. JAMES was pressed to apply to the Court to appoint a day for giving judgment here. His LORDSHIP had got a report from the Re gistrars respecting the practice on such a point as the case involved, and he had therefore no objection to its being put down for judgment on Monday. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Sittings after Term.) His HONOUR was engaged in a conference with the Lord Chancellor for more than an hour ; on coming into Court, he stated it to be his Lordship's wish that this Court should sit at Westminster Hail on those days on which the Lord Chancellor should he engaged with Appeals in the House of Lords. This arrangement was determined on for the pur pose of accommodating the senior Counsel who might be obliged to attend in th e H ous e o f L or d s; and was proposed that his Honour should bear Bankrupt Petitions and Motions only on these days. It was also stated by his Honour, that the Lord Chan cellor had fixed the first Seal after Term for next. Thursday week. Several objections were urged by Members of the Junior Bar to so nauch of this arrangement as respected his Honour's sitting at Westminster Hall out of Term. It was said that it would be peculiarly inconvenient to draftsmen, on account of the great distance-of Westminster Hall from their Chambers. The VICE-CHANCELkOR admitted that there were ;hconveniences on both sides; but, upon a balance of them, he thought the present arrangement was the more advisable. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The Court was engaged during the morning in hearing arguments for and against the rule granted by the Court, calling on - Hughes, Esq. to show cause by what authority he held the office of Mayor of Stafford. • PREROGATIVE COURT. The Court disposed of soroe..routine.iusinsss of no public interest. ~; TO ALL SURVEYORS AND DEPUTY POSTAIASTEIIS.

DURHAM, TUESDAY, FEB. 6.—The numbers on the gross poll were— For Sir H. Hardinge For Mr. Robertson 76 Majority Sir Henry was therefore declared duly elected, amidst the loud and long-continued cheers of his friends, and the no less tumultous disapprobation of the other party. The return having been signed by the Mayor, Sir Henry was immediately chaired round the city. In the evening he entertained a large party of his friends to dinner, at the Waterloo Inn. The usual scenes of intemperance and tumult were witnessed in the evening; but altogether the election was very flat. Sir Henry Hardinge may thank the bad ma nagement of his opponents more than his own popularity for his success. Had Mr. Robertson sppesrall in p...r,0n, cye a on the second day of the election, it is thought by the best informed persons that the result would have been %% idely different. DOVER. DOVER, FEB. 7.

Let it be remembered too, that whether Mr. Grey was the author of the pamph let of " Anglicanus " or not, he has himself confessed he was its publisher—that he corrected the proofs— re-wrote sentences, and was alone in communication with the printer.

DOUVILLE, PROFUG4OR OF THE FRENCR LANGIaGi, No. I, Eoho-square, near the Bazaar; and 2, Lawrenco-k►ne, Cheapside, London, 1827. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--In presenting the public with this new pro duction, my grand object has been to render the speak ing of French as easy and familiar to English pet — sons, as if they studied in Paris. To accomplish t . nis great desideratum, I have composed the essays on the rules of passages and sentences used in ordinary discourse. By construing them into French, the pupil will not only store his mind with useful expressions, but he will likewise insensibly imbibe just notions of the Grammatical technicalities of the language. This is of the utmost importance for speaking French ; for, unless the learner is properly trained up in the piac tical part, he will never be able to hold the least dis course with a native of France, although he may be a proficient in the theory of the language. The na ture of the French Verbs is, also, exhibited in quite a new and clear manner, and the remarks on pro nunciation are collected from the present practice of the fashionable circles in Paris. The work is con ' eluded by a Grammatical Analysis, and a Treatise on French Prosody and Versification; besides a classified vocabulary, a compendium of familiar phrases, and numerous models of notes, letters of compliment and business. In the execution of the whole, in short, the speaking of the language has a prominent feature ; and I flatter myself this Gram mar will be found peculiarly adapted to the capacity of the generality of learners, being divided into sixty easy lessons and essays, which will prove no less instructive than agreeable. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Jan. 28, 1828. .1. V. DOUVILLE. P.S. A Key to the Essays is just published. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS FOR.

PROVIDENT 1 LIFE OFFICE.--A General Meeting of the Members of this Institution was held yesterday at their house in Regent-street, Sir GaosaF DucxErr, Dart. in the chair. The object of the Meeting was finally t o con fi rm a septenn i a l b onus of 35/. per cent. lately voted, being the third septennial division with the taken place. The members were highly plto ed flourishing state of the concern ; but some disappointment was expressed by a few Shareholder?, that so la l g e . a portion persons insured as of the profits were appropriated to the only took fourteen parts in fifteen, while the Shareholders at the deed had .iettlez'A a fifteenth part.

I t h a nks were unanimously voted, and the lge , ,..tial wa• THE SPIRIT OF THF, PUBLIC JOURNALS. The respectful silence and unbroken attention wirh which Mr. Brougham's speech on the state of the law was received on Thursday evening,—a speech too, which occupied six hours in the delivery, —are more powerful r ecommendations of it than any which we can pronounce. It is to be remarked also, that the interest which it excited did not spring from the causes by which Parliamentary. eloquence is known fix the minds of its h earers—such as strong airiy personalities, and inflammatory p arty topics. In any other oldi hands than those into which it fell, the subject of Mr. Brou g h am ' s speec h wou ld h ave been dry and repulsive. In hi s , i t came f ort h an an i mated treatise rather than a political effusion, was listened to with unabating pleasure, and imparted, as it proceeded, rc continual stream of information. After Mr. Brougham had divested his proposition of all that , matter to which it was not meant to relate, such as the courts of equity, the commercial code, and many parts of the criminal law, already discussed and ar ranged by Sir Samuel Romillv, and Sir James Macintosh, and by Mr. Peel's Bill, the careless wonli scarcely have thought that so much remained requir ing moderate change and rational improvement. To what length reformation may go, it is not now pos sible to state; but on this, the first opening of the business, the propriety of several alterations was at once acknowledged by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Other points will be dis cussed and even contested hereafter,—som e gained to the side of reform, and others, no doubt, reclaimed and suffered to fall back into their ancient course. It is difficult to do more here, than to refer to the speech itself for the various sub jects which it comprises We will in this plaea„ however, notice some errors which crept into our report. Mr. Peel is made, in his speech, to deactibe Mr. Brougham as having said that Lord Tenterden " had not maintained a character so brilliant since a judge as during the period of his advocacy." On the contrary, the learned and eloquent gentleman said, and was described by the Right Ron, Secre tary as having said, something to thia effect—" that his Lordship was a very great I.aidge,—one of the very best we ever had,—thons comparatively littl e known as an advocate." Iwo typographical errors also deform M r . B rou was received svith. such distinguish e d an d mer i te d marks of adm;:s at i on b y the House. " The shield ;;;liain's fine peroration, which of the in solvent" he is made to say, instead of " the shield of innocence;" and " absorbed" ap ri;ears in print instead of " a two-edged sword." To our own opinion of this elaborate and able speech, we shall, in conclusion, add what Mr. Peel spoke of it :—" From the speech of the Hon. and Learned Member he had derived tiodissembled satisfaction, which he shared only in common with the entire House. The laborious range of his research was ac creditable to his acknowledged legal reputation, as the nature of his measure was calculated to reflect on him honour as a Senator."—Times. The public will sea with pleasure that Mr. Peel has given notice for Tuesday next, the 12th inst., of a motion for a select committee on the state of the revenue arid expenditure of the country. The word " select" is of high importance. It is indeed the very word which we like best to see employed on such an occasion,—for a different reason, how ever, from that which was suggested by Lord Pal merston a few days ago, when his Lordship, with less respect for the sagacity of the nation than reli ance on their simplicity, put on a grave face and talked about the committee being chosen by the " wisdom of Parliament !" as if the wisdom of Parliament ever went farther in the con struction of a select committee, than to make‘ itself maste r o f t h e l i st of names recommended by his Majesty's Mi n i sters, and to rote the committee accordingly. N OW , we lik e t h e word " se. ) ,ect," not because it is calculated to blindfold or mystify people but because it fairly tells the world that :Ministers are to take the " selection" on themselves, and are therefore satisfied to be responsible for selecting a good one. Ibis is the first trial of the new Go vernment—this will decide their real character with the country. The conduct of the Duke of 'Welling ton and Mr. Peel with regard to this finance corn inittee,—this vital pledge of Mr. Canning's bottom., and source of hope and consolation to the people,— their honesty or duplicity on this single preliminary point will raise or sink them in the eyes of the ; whole empire, Mr. Peel, if we may judge by his tone on Thursday evening, has no desire to evade the fulfilment of the sacred obligation of redeeming Mr. Canning's pledge. Indeed, telly should he? What could he,- or any man with a shadow of discernment, propose to himself by inflicting such a disappointment on his countrymen ? The public will beige a sound Finance Committee, with a Chair man above seduction or suspicion. Let Ministers took well to this.—lbid. Mr. Hume, last night, drew attention to the lasi the country had sustained from Saving Banks, amounting to nearly half a million. The worst or allowing are advantage to the depositors over other lenders is., that it tempts the rich to avail themselves the th ee e xi t ,e c n c e o e m o m f o t d h a e ti p on u , bl w ic h . o larnefateht,usit ibseittienfidtetieldto3adt that the deposits, as far as amount is concerned, chiefly belong to people in easy circumstances. lint could not the poor be afforded a facility for laying by their sayings without the public being injured rich depositors ?—illorning Chronicle. Mr. Brougham has stepped forward as a Reformer of the Law at a most auspicious period; for we be lieve we may confidently say, that in all ranks and classes of the community the conviction is general, that extensive changes in the law, the systems of judicial procedure, and the organization of the tri bunals, are imperiously called for. What was wanted was a man sufficiently experienced in the advantages and disadvantages of the existing state of things, to be able to direct attention to real and out imaginary defects, and to suggest the means of remedying them most efficaciously —sufficiently high in the lists of his profession to command the esteem of the experienced and to deprive interested illiberality of a handle of attack-- and sufficiently disinterested to prefer the well being of the present and future generations, to the share which might- accrue to himself of the Jucte .e mere outline, and at the from abuses pregnant with suffering to those most entitled to the protection .. oz the haw, The deep attention with .winch he Was listened to bye crowded House, throughout a speech that the soil is prepared for the r o seed. bi gl of; we believe, unexampled lengths" alone a proof e tasl: of delivering to a popular as 9 Yi view of the dr a? extensive whole of the extensive field of a ,:w) avoiding the deta Q il PP aarn executed the osite evil of run ning g n e e i s tni s tmo i inseparable ts p ep a er r ro t i i pn b og l e r tei f le r en o a: m 3tfrec a fs, is One to which undertook with extraordi nary tact, few y hesitation to admit.

The inclination of Mr. Peel's mind was evidently in favour of such a measure; and his doubts with, respect to particular points, such as the insur ing despatt.h in d ec i s i on b y t h e payment o f f ees to the ' Jud ges, go merely to points which would be most advantageously elucidated in a Committee.
