The Meeting terminated yesterday with the best day's racing of the three, but with a considerably smaller as semblage of fashionahles. His Majesty did not arrive at the usual time (nor till after the match), and fears were entertained that he would not be present ; this apprehen sion was dissipated at two o'clock, when the Royal equi• pages reached the Stand. His Majesty was accompanied in his carriage by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland, and their Graces the Dukes of Leeds and Welling ton; the,rest of the Royal suite was as on the preceding they. His Majesty seemed to take a very lively interest in the races, and did not leave till their conclusion ; both on his arrival and departure Lis Majesty was received with loud cheers. In the Jockey Club Stand we - observed several fashioeables, including Lords Sefton (and family), Atountcharles, Verulam, Most'of the Noblemen stated in our first account were again present. Th e f o ll ow i n g i s a return of the day's running : Match-50 Bove. each. lAA half of the New Mile. SA each. Mr. Wetherall's The Palfrey 1 Sir John Ogilvy's Rainbow There was very little betting on this race, but the little that did take place was in favour of the winner. 13efore starting The Palfrey was restive, plunging violently, and requiring all John Day's coolness and judgment to get him to start ; at last they went off, Rainbow in front, and ED he kept till within fifty yards of ending, when John Day brought up his horse, and in a Ault-at-niggle beat his anta gonist very cleverly by a length. The loser was rude by young Buckle. The winner was formerly the property of General Grosvenor. The match did not create any great interest, and was only a kind of make-wait for the next race, in which all the betting men appeared to be mucl: interested. A Free Plate of One Hundred Pounds, given by the 'Town of Windsor, for horses of all ages (two-year olds ex cepted), handicap.—Two Miles and a Half. Mr. Diekenson's Mr. Pengander, 5 yrs. Bst. 101 b.

Betting-7 to 4 agst. Mr. Pengander, and 4to 1 agst. Dervise. Lord Mountcharles's Constance jumped off at a good pace, Mtecenas and Derviee next her, and the others laid up in good form, well packed together. In this way they ran until nearly the last turn, when Mr. Pengander, Dervise, The Vicar, and Mxcenas all came out together, the rest being pulled off. For a considerable part of the straight ground these four ran very claw!, but when about 100 yards from home, Dervise and Maecenas were beat off by Pengander and Vicar. The rest of the ground was contested by these two with remarkable truth and severity, and it was ultimately won by a neck only. The winner was rode by George Dockery, and The Vicar by Mac donald, both of whom exhibited very superior jockeyship. Dervise was rode by John Day, and all the light weights by lads.

''okay went away at his best pace, and led to the turn, where be gave way to Toni Thumb, Logic, and The Vicar ; a struggle ensued between these three, but was of short duration, for young Buckle soon took little Tommy Thumb from the others, and won very easy by two or three lengths. Logic was rode by D6ckery, Vicar by Macdonald, Tokuy by Iforniby, Wiinper by J. Day, The Palfrey by the owner, and Escape by R. Boyce. We are happy to state that Robinson, the Jockey, is in a fair way of recovery fiom his late accident. RUPTURE.

WoacEsrEit, JUNE our market on Saturday only 37 pockets were weighed, and very little business was done; the prices may be stated at 86s. to lOW. ; none, however, but the finest samaples would fetch the latter price, and heavy lots could not be readily sold. The general opinion is, that in our plantation there has been a great increase of fly during the last week, although the plant looks vigorous, and grows rapidly. The author of A Ramble among the Musi eittns of Germany has an enthusiastic lave of his art, book which must make his peculiarly pleasant to its pro fessors at home, united as cri tical acuteness.

Belgrave Chapel, near Grosvenor-place, Pim lico, was sold yesterday at the Auction Mart. The rental of the pews originally was nearly 2,600/. per annum, but, in consequence of the erection of a new church in the vi cinity, the revenue has been greatly reduced, the present income being only 1,6701. a-year. The salary of the three clergymen amounts annually to 400/. and the chapel fur the last six years had produced a net profit of '7lO/. a-vear, after deductin g all expenoes. The property is held under Earl GROSVENOR for 82 years, at a ground-rent of I.M. per minim. The lot was knocked dawn at 3,000/. ROWING MATCH. A good rowing match took place yesterday, for a sweep stakes of five sovereigns each, three gentlemen scullers, one heat. The match had arisen in consequence of some dis pute concerning the decision of a rowing match on Thurs day week, in which the parties had been in some manner engaged. The candidates Were, Mr. Charles Gwyder, a Mr. H. T. Jone 4, and another gentleman, wboge name we understood to be Hawkins. Earls hail before contended in amateur wagers, and were reckoned good scullers. The distance was, to start from Putney-bridge, through Ham mersmith-bridge, and return down and finish the heat by being first through the centre arch of Battersea-bridge. At starting Mr. Jones took the lead, closely followed by Mr.' Gwyder ; these two went with great speed, and Mr. Haw kins resigned after a short distance. The boats after a contest in which some scientific sculling was displayed, came in thus :—Mr. Charles Gwyder, first Mr. H. T. Jones, second ; and Mr, Hawkins, third. The match was won by two hundred yards or more PEDESTRIANISM. FOOT RACE FON ONE HUNDRED SOVENEIONS.— Yes- I terday afternoon an assemblage of upwards of 1,0,11 per sons congregated on Lord's Cricket Ground, St. doho's Wood, to witness J. Shephard, the celebrated Yorkshire pedestrian, and Monsieur Qrandserre, the French veloci pede, run ten miles against each other, for a wager of fifty tovereigns aside. A circle of ground was staked, round which the pedestrians'were to turn thirty times before the completion of the ten miles. At seven minutes past six o'clock the runners started, Monsieur G. taking the lead. Shephard, however, before the completion of the first round, went a-head, and continued to 1;04; an his opponent in such admirable style th4i; 4; the conclusion of the twen tieth touod ho left• him a .half mile in the real,.. The race, at tlds period, became exceedingly interesting, Shep hard doing as he liked with the Frenchman, occasionally stopping to take some wine and water, which the latter perceiving, he exerted himself to the utmost, And went a-head about 50 yards. The Yorkshireman thee,; ju ase the phrase of Mr. Leech, his hacker, "tool; cr;ght,'' end showed to the i a rit t n a t a e , n l ; ist eas ,,„ sersibla?:e :;;la wontierful strength, by passing his n ith the rapidity of lightning.

Air. Leech, the ha c k e r of th e Y or k a hireman, ohearing the dispute, immediately went to his man and informed I,iaa of the circumstance, which Shephard no Boone' heard, than out of Fed he jumped, ran out of the house, and proceeded round the circle for the thirty-first time, and before his opponent 11:1 completed his twenty-ninth round, thus winning the match in a truly 4nanful manner. The Tlain d tions o f th e immense crowd that greeted Shephard on his entering the house, were beyond deser;ptiom. 14M IrV IMPERIAL PARLY '. 1 r 1 `~ ~ ` ^a i d ~\~Y~ -..-I , :o v ' - ;41. ,-'.!•' __'' HOUSE OF LORDS„Auirli,ll7:7"' The LORD CHANCELLOR, V:ift' LirdStiXtrY and the Earl of SHAFTEsEHRY, met at four o'clock as Commissioners, and gave the Royal Assent to Mr. Canuing's Pension Act Amendment Bill, the Sur plus Ways - and Means Bill, the Staines' Bridge, and several other 'Private .Bills. Their Lordships then adjourned, and the Honse met again at five o'clock. The Land Tax Commissioners Bill-was read a third time, the London Decks a second time, and several others. Lord CLIFDEN presented a . petition, praying their Lordships to compel the Trustees to render Account of certain Charities in Kffitenny, and carry the trusts of the founder into execution. The Charities were 13 in number, founded in 1818, by Joseph Evaus, of Kilkenny, w . ho it his de cease left property to support "thet i n, amounting to 1800/. a year. They were for tbe benefit of very poor persons, and the petitioners 'felt it most im portant to have the as.ministration duly executed. The Trustees were the Dean of Ossory, Mr. Rowe, Mi. Shaw, the Rector of St. Mary, and the Vicar of St. John's. Though the petitions might revert to the Court of Chancery, yet the Noble Lord, with great deference to the Noble Lord on the wool sack, would rather advise any man to thrust his hand into rj. furnace than his head into the Court of Chancery. (Great laughter.) It was an awful thing to enter within the portals of the Court of Chancery. It could not be doubted that the three Rev. Gentlemen to whom he alluded were men of honour and integrity ; yet some men were shy in either bringing their conduct, or allowing it to be brought, before the public. Such persons, however, ►oust understand that there existed such a thing as the Press now a days—the omnipotent Press — (Hear, hear)--and that, when public statements were once made, individuals subsequently found themselves under the necessity of obeying public opi nion. It might be said that this petition had been pre sented from spite, but no such feeling influenced the petitioners. The three highly respectable black coats said they had no person to render an account to.— He (the Noble Lord) however, joined with the pe titioners in hoping their Lordships would compel them to render an account, in some shape and by some means or other, in order that the charities might not be lost and the property sink into priVate estates. He moved that the petition should lay upon the table. The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped the Noble Lord would allow the prayer of the petition to he read, which was done accordingly. Lord COLCHESTER called the attention of the House to the nature of this petition. It was, in point of fact, to correct the alleged abuses in charity property, and he had no doubt their Lordships would readily agree ►with him that this was by no means the proper form - fol: bringing forward such a petition, but that thO Court below was the most fit place to' look to for redress. During his experience in Parliament. which he was sorry to say was considerable, he had seen many petitions of this kind brought before it ; but on all occasions, without exception, witc>n the , irregularity was pointed out by any Member, such petitions had been withdrawn; cat• if not with drawn, immediately rejected by the House. The Nobl, Lord therefore hoped that the Noble Vi-.count who had presented this► petition, would see the propriety of withdrawing it ; if mot, he should feel it his dttt;• to press their Lordships to reject it, as wholly ileKr, to be received by that House. Lord CLIFDEN had no doubt that the object of the petitioners would be now accomplished, inas much as he had had the opportunity of making the public statement he had made, and under such cir cumstances, particularly as there seemed to he a doubt respecting the regularity of the petition, he. consented to withdraw it. Lord KING presented a petition from the Catho lics of Ireland, stating that by the existing laws they were deprived of tilling Corporate offices to the number of 2,500, and praying for admission to such offices for the future. The Earl of LIMERICK, in the absence of In-: Noble and Learned Friend, the late Lord Chancel lor for Ireland, moved the second reading of the Bill for protecting purchasers for valuable consi dertnion in Ireland against judgments not revived or redocketed within a certain time. The object of the Bill 'vas to provide that within five years after tiw' passing of this Act, all judgments which had not been received, ar upon which interest had not been paid for the lust 20 years, should be considered satisfied: Lord CLIFDEN supported the Bill. He said that from some cause or other a great. number of judgments affecting property in !reified were still to be found on the rolls of the Court, although they had lon g since been satisfied.

On the motion of Lord 'MELVILLE, the Pi•,- petty in India Bill, was read a second time, and, on the moon of the same Noble Lord the House was, ordered fo be summoned for to-morrow. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition praying that facilities might be afforded for procuring subjects for anatomy; and also a petition from several places in the county of Galway, pray ing for a repeal of the Bill limitinci the number of mall-notes. The Marquis of CLEVELAND presented a pe tition from Stockton anti Launceston, praying for the Abolition of Slavery. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a peti tion from some place in Nottinghamshire, for the repeal of the Bill limiting the circulation of Ti. notes. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the amendments made by the Commons in the Law: of Evidence Bill were agreed to. OFFENCES AGAINST THE PErtsop;. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE move;( the Or der of the j),ay for taking into consideration the amendrueuts made by the Commons in the Bill for consolidating th(laws relative to Offences against the Person. In doing this, the Noble Marquis stated that he meant to call their Lordships' atten tion to the amendineutai of importance which had been introducedi of the verbal amendments, o f which 'the7e were also many, he should say nothing. The first amendment to which he should refer re lated ro the attempt to commit murder. When the Bill was introdneid,. he had proposed to specify and describe sockatteuipts, but at the suggestion of a Noble Lord opposite, a more general form of words had been introduced. The Commons, however, had adverted to the original design, aed had intro duced into the Bill a distinct specification of these attempts. lie saw no objection to the specification, supposing it advisable that one should be made, f ,, l* it seemed as complete as could be made.

JONIS.—This was a case of assault and battery, alleged to have been perpe trated ou the person of a :Mr. Thomas Cottrell, by Charley Jones —one of the light weights of the prize-ring. " May it please your Worship (said Mr. Thomas Cot trell—a fourteen-stone shoemaker, with one eye thumped black and the other green),—as I was walking up Skinner • street, at two o'clock on Sunday morning, this young mau knocked me down. I got up again, and asked him why he did so ; but instead of making me a reasonable answer he ordered me to walk on,—. Walk on, Sir !' said he—just as though he had been the Duke of Wellington him self !—I told hirn.l did not see why I should walk on at his bidding, and again I told hiin I very much wished to know why he had knocked me down. With which, may it please your Worship, he gave me several severe blows on the head, and knocked me down again. So then I thought it was time to call the watch : and I did; but before they could come he gave me his name and address : and so I sent him a summons, and here he might think, perhaps, that he was thumping me by way of lark only ; but I can tell him thet i don't like such blows as those!" .4 Well, Jones," said the ALDERMAN, " you hear he says he does not like such blows—why did you give them to him ?"—" Your Worship," replied Mr. Jones, " I hardly know what to say about such a foolish thing. The young man ran against me, and when I asked him what he did that for, he put himself in a fighting attitude ; and of course I had a good right to stand up to him in my own de fence." " said Mr. Alderman VE- ik, I He was drunk, suppose, NA BLES.-" He was decidedly so, your Worship," replied Mr. Jones. " And tell me, Cottrell, was Jones drunk ?" asked the ALDERMAW..--" He was," replied Mr. Cottrell. " Why, then," said his Worship, " pay five shillings each for having been drunk ; and don't be swaggering about the streets at two o'clock in the morning again." Jones—glad that his profession had not been called in question—posted his crown in an instant, and bolted ; but Cottrell was very sulky about it. However, there was no remedy, and he paid his five shillings ; which, with the two shillings for the summons, left him seven shillings minus by the job, besides the damage done to his eyes. 110 - ST REET. —AeratHENsioN or Two BURG LARS.—Yesterday dames Evans and William Painter, two notorious characters, were brought before Mr. HALLS, charged with being found with housebreaking.tools in their possession. The prisoners have long been known to the police as marked men, and Evans was, only a few days back, in custody, with two other men, upon a similar charge. As Fagan, an officer was going his rounds yesterday morning between one and two, he met the prisoners walking fast, in Church-street, St. Giles's, and stopped them. On search ing them he found two "jemmies," and other housebreak ing instruments. He accordingly secured them, and took them to the watch-house, where they confessed having at tempted to break in to a house in Tottenham-court-road, but had not sufficient tools with them to accomplish their design, and were returning to equip themselves properly when they were apprehended by Fagan, who stated that both the prisoners had been convicted of felonies at the Old Bailey. The prisoners at first stoutly denied every thing stated against them, and declared that the instruments found in their possession were the tools belonging to their respective trades. Mr. HALLS asked what were their trades'—Evans said he was a shoemaker and Palmer a smith. Mr. Hat.Ls asked them to explain in what branch of their respective arts the tools found upon them were-used ? The prisoners twirled their hate, looked queer, but made no reply. They were thereupon committed for two months each to 48 • the House of Correction. STABBING.-Yesterday morning a young man, named Jacob Gerrard, attired in the most miserable manner, and a woman calling herself "let Saunders, were placed et the bar, and charged by an ill-looking fellow, named John Giles, with stabbing him and robbing him of one so vereign. The complaisant was a casual vender of sparrows and other birds, and at one time resided in Church-street, St. Giles's. About a week , ago, after returning from his daily occupation one evening, he went up stairs, and per ceived - another young woman present in the midst of a number of persons, who were beating and kicking her in a manner that seemed would shortly deprive her of life. Commiserating her situation, he immediately rushed among them to rescue her, when he was thrown down, and stabbed with a knife. He did nut recover for a short time, and when he did he found himself deprived of all the Money he had in his pocket, amounting to the sum stated in the charge. To the best of his recollection the two pri soners were the most active in his maltreatment, and were the only individuals who robbed him. After the prosecutor had detailed this statement, a long and desultory conversation passed between the parties, in which it came to the Magistrate's (Mr. JIALLs) know ledge that the prosecutor had not conductod himself ultoge they right. The prisoners were then acquitted of the charge of stab bing, and sentenced only to find bail to keep the peace. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Sane. Dyer, a young man of respectable exterior, was charged with robbing his master, Edward Farnham, Esq. of 13, Stratton-street, Piccadilly, of plate to a considerable amount. It appeared that the prisoner entered Mr. Farnham's service on the 7th instant as under-butler, having previously lived in the family of 11Irs. Siddons but his conduct was so irregular that Mrs. Siddons ga‘ye him 10/. and dis charged him four and twenty hours after he entered on the ditties of his situation. On Thursday evening the prisoner got drunk and stole a bottle of Champagne, for which offence Mr. Farnham discharged him forthwith, and a few hours after he went away Thomas Jones, the head butler, missed three silver table-spoons. On Friday morning the prisoner pledged three table-spoons at Mr. Gofton's, in Gilbert-street, Grosvenor-square, and on Monday after noon he entered Mr. Gofton's shop and offered to pledge three silver forks, but the shopman observing that tha crests on the spoon had been partly effaced, refused to ad vance any money on them, and compelled the prisoner to accompany him to this office, when he said k: was a car penter, and lived in Robert-street. Avis, the officer, made the necessary inquiries, and as certained that the prisoner had not resided in Robert street for nine months ; and he then referred the officer to the Queen, in Oxford-street, where he was informed that the prisoner had lived with a family in Stratton-street up to Thursday last. The butler of Mr. Farnham's was then applied to, and on examining the plate he found that a greet deal was missing, and identified the spoons and forks in Mr. Gofton's possession as Mr. Farnham's property. An elderly man, named Thomas Woodland, was in the prisoner's company when he was taken into custody, who stated that the forks and spoons were the property of the prisoner's' father, and be was authorised to dispose of thew. Circumstances of suspicion arose against Woodland, and he was also apprehended. He told Mr. Roe that he had been a schoGi-master in Newman-street, and that a twelve month ago he lived is Lord Melville's family for five months, and had the care of all his Lordship's plate. Mr. NOE considered that there was no evidence to affect Woodland, and he was therefore discharged. The other prisoner was committed fur trial. UNION-HALL—About ten days ago a young ma" named Robert Augustus Sewell, the son of a gentleman holding a situation in the Custom House, was brought h" - fore the Ma g istrates of this office by th e par i s h o fficers of Lambeth, for having suffered his wife to heroine charge able to that parish. The defendant alleged that the cause of his being unable to support his wife arose from the cir cumstance of Lis father having discarded him in came . pence of his forming an alliance with a family inferior to his own. The Magistrate believing that he had acted ure der the advice of his friends, and that he was about to pro ceed to the Cape of Good Hope, and would take his wife with him, suspended the proceedings for a week, and wt him at liberty. He subsequently left his wife, and went on board of a vessel lying in the River Thames, bound for the Cape, where lie was taken into custody by the beadle of Lambeth, at the moment the vessel was weighing anchor. He was committed to 13,rixton.Claol for one month. On Friday last a living lobster was caught in a casting net, in the river Medway, opposite Maidstone Church. It lived some time after being taken, and the rarity of the occurrence attracted numbers of petsons see the tit & --Maidstone Journal. A PARALLEL TO THE FLIXTON ROAD CASE.-CLERICAL MAGISTRATES. (From the Manchester Gazette.) The public are well acquainted with the efforts which were made by Ralph Wright, t sq., one of our Magistrates, to stop up a footway passing across his park, and of the final success of the appellants against the orders which had been signed by two of his Worshipful brethren . of the Bench. A similar effort has lately been made to deprive the public of their right of road in the neighbourhood of thorns grove, in Worcestershire, and as the success of the opposition to it may in some degree be considered the result of the Flixton case, our readeis will not think that we are taking their attention too far from florae in laying before them a brief statement of :he ease. In the parish of Stoke'Prior, about a mile from Bromsgrove, resides a Dr. Collett, at a place called Oakalls, which is situated between the parallel roads leading out from BromsgTove, the one to Alcester and the - other to Rigby Hall and Stoke-chapel. A road crosses from these two parallel roads passing close to Dr. Collett's house, and by this way the people on the Alcester road used to cross to Rigby Hall, and to the chapel. Dr. Collett, about fourteen years ago, without any magistrates' order, diverted this cross-road to a greater distance from his own house, and formed a paddock on the site of•the old road. Our readers will recollect that our neighbour Mr. Wright, when he had formed a park out of a few small fields, began to think of getting quit alto gether of a footway which he had in like mariner diverted. Dr. Collett looked on his lawn as Mr. Wright looked on his park. lie had driven the public to some distance from him, and he thought he should be more comfortably situated if he could drive them away altogether. Having some good friends amongst his neighbours in the magistracy, he applied to the Right Honourable and Reverend Walter Hutchinson, Lord Aston, and the Reverend Wm. Vernon, Clerks, (we like to give them their full designations), and these Clerical Justices, on the 7th June, 1827, signed an order for stopping up this " useless and unnecessary" cross road, as far as it went through the lands of Dr. Collett, but left out of their order that part of it which went through the lands of Mr. Ellins, of Rigby Hall, so that m the event of its confirmation, Dr. Collet could have gone along the property of Mr. Ellins, but Mr. Ellins and no one else could have gone far ther than the verge of Dr. Collett's pro perty. This encroachment on public and private rights excited the indignation which every such attempt ought to excite. And appeal was entered for trial at the Worcester Midsummer Sessions, and evidence was prepared to prove that the road had been a bridle way from time immemorial, and that so far from being unnecessary, it was in constant use by numerous persons as a road to the Hall, to the Church, to the Mill, and to other places, and a com munication between the two parallel roads, without which a great number of residents at both ends of the cross road would have had to go round at least 500 yards.. This evidence, however, owing to an infor mality in the notices of appeal, was not allowed to be gone into, and the Worshipful the Magistrates eon. firmed the order which had been made by their Cle rical brethren. Mr. Ellins, one of the appellants, however, was not disposed to let the public rights be violated without any inquiry into the merits of the case, and accordingly, in Michaelmas Term last, a motion was made in the Court of King's Bench, for a rule to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to remove the proceedings into that Court, and this rule was, in the following term, made absolute. These steps were preparatory to a motion far quash ing the order for stopping up the road. About the time of applying for the rule for the certiorari, Mr. Ellins having heard that the orders for stopping up the Flixton footway had been quashed on account of various informalities, opened a correspondence with Mr. Charles Wood, the solicitor employed by the parties who had sought to get those orders quashed. Mr. Ellins came over to Manchester to confer with Mr. Wood, and on that occasion, being struck with the close resemblance which, in many instances, the Flixton caze bore to his own, he paid a • visit to the Flixton foot-way. We are sure our readers will pardon us for mentioning also that Mr. Ellins, when here, spent some time with Mr. Richard Potter, the right arm of the Flixton oppo sition, and that on his return he carried with him our own pamphlet, containing the long trial of that appeal, which to him was tt little treasure. Fortified by the experience which had been ay. quire& in the Flixton appeal, Mr. Ellins and his fellow-appellants became sanguine they should suc ceed. Dr. Collett, on his part, was not idle; for when last Easter Term came, and the application was made for a rule to show cause why the orders should not be quashed, he put in a loug and insi diously drawn-up affidavit, stating that the orders for stopping up the road had been confirmed, leaving It to be Inferred that it had been confirmed, after hearing the appeal ; that such road had been for 11 years regularly in cultivation, of course say ing nothing of the fact that the diverted road was used in its stead, and that he believed Mr. Ellins had no other object in opposing the stopping of the saki road than to annoy him, the said Dr. C'., by travelling over, and procuring others to travel over it, Along with this affidavit of Mr. Ralph Wright, of Stoke Prior, affidavits were presented from the Rcr. Ma gistrates who had signed the order, in which, like Dr. Collett, they stated that the order had been con: firmed by the unanimous vote of the Magistrates in Quarter Session, without saying a word of the fact that the appeal was not heard ; and also stating, that in signing the said order, the said Wm. Vernon, and the said Walter Hutchinson Lord Aston, Clerks, "acted according to their judgment." According to their judgment ! We have ne great opinion of the intellect of our Lancashire Magistracy, but when we see twoßeverend Justices taking the very unusual step of coming- into the Court of King's Beach, and swearing that they acted according to their judg ment, we are forced to acknowledge that in genuine absurdity our southern neighbours bear the bell. On the 20th of May last, the motion for quashing the order came on to be heard, when the rule was made absolute, and the order was quashed, on the ground that the Magit4rates, who signed it, did not state, as the Act requires, that it having upon view been fonnd to be useless, it -should lie stopped up, but " upon view, or as it appeared to them." The fact was, that they could not view the road. The road ordered to be stopped was not the divert( el hut the old road, and to view it they must have broken through a garden wall, and cut through a plantation, which had existed at least fourteen years. At the opening of the road on the 26th of last month, a portion of that wall was razed to the ground, and several of the trees in the plantation were cut down, and, as was the case at Flixton, a procession was formed of a few individuals, who exercised the re stored right, and rejoiced in the triumph of law over the grasping designs of another little tyrant of the fields. The case may still have to be tried on appeal, against other orders that may be signed ; but if we may judge from the depositions of the witnesses, there i eca t e s ,ahahveiug any bench of Magist rates w h o , on hearing regard for their oaths, or respect for their characters, would declare the road to be " useless and unnecessary."
