MORNING SUN TOWER OF LONDON• DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY DESTROYED IN THE GREAT ARMOURY. The following is a correct description of the various pieces of ordnance, &c., on the ground-floor under the Small Armoury. The principal portions were trophies of British valour, many of great antiquity, and the whole forming a splendid and highly interesting collection. The Armoury, said to have been the largest in Europe, was 3 45 feet in length, and was formerly used as a store house for the Artillery , train, until the stores were re moved to Woolwich. 21: considerable number of chests filled with arms were in a portion of. the room, and in the other part a variety of arms arranged in fancifUl de- West of England, County, Custom-house, 12_ Goverly: t meat, and 1 parish. " The fire consumed the whole of tha Round-table Armoury, and contents therein. A quantity of arms and muskets removed out of the Long Armoury; destruc tion of the whole of the building, and great damage done to the roof of the barracks and offices round, in the street at the back of the Long Armoury, and slightly damaged the ahapel;roof adjoining. " No. 1, Parade.—Mr. Arthur. Allen, upper east end of the Armoury, occupied the second ffoors and attics. Furniture insured in the Phcenix ; seriously damaged by removal and water ; the roof and front of the building seriously injured. " Mrs. Elizabeth Lloyd occupied the ground-floors and basement story. Furniture insured in the Sun ; property very much damaged and destroyed by water and removal. " Mr. William Elder, occupied the right wing of No. 1. Furniture not insured ; greatly damaged by removal. " Mr. T. Forman, Member for Bridgewater, counting house, unknown whether insured. Books and papers destroyed and seriously damaged. " No. 2, Terrace.—Mr. W. Kemp, Ordnance Map office, furniture not insured, greatly damaged by removal. " Round Tower, adjoining the Chapel, occupied by Mr. John Cooper. furniture insured in the British, greatly damaged by removal and water. "At the back of the Chapel, occupied by Mr. Pell, furniture not insured, damaged by removal. " The above is the whole of the damage sustained by the persons connected with the Tower. The loss in the aggregate is supposed not to exceed 1,0001. The whole of the arms which are in the ruins are completely destroyed. Fortunately the new percussion muskets were all saved. vices. At the entrance were two brass 24-pounders, elabo rately chased and highly . ornamented, mounted on field carriages cast at Woolwich, from cannon taken at Cher bourg, in 1758. On the left-hand of the entrance was a row of guns, arranged in historical order, showing the various improvements in the manufacture of can- DOD. One piece was of wrought iron, and manufac tured in the time of Henry V., A.D. 1422. An- other of wrought iron in the time of Edward IV., 1461. A brass 36-pounder, 13 feet in length, Henry VII., A.D. 1456. A 12-pounder, brass, 13 feet 4 inches long, formerly belonging to Charles V., Emperor of Germany, A.D. 1509. A large brass 68-pounder, in weight nearly 5 tons and a half, inscribed with the date 1542, 4nd said to be one of the lower-deck guns of the celebrated " Great Harry." A brass 1-1 -pounder, made flat, and a brass 4-pounder of octagon form ; and a brass cannon, having seven bores, all of the time of Henry VIII. A brass 20-pounder, Edward VI., A.D. 1548. A brass 2- pounder, taken from the Dutch in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 1581. A 3-pounder, a brass chamber gun, manufactured in the same reign. A curious brass mortar, bore seven inches and a half, James 1., A.D. 1610. A beautifully-ornamented cannon, manufactured expressly for the son of James I. (Henry Prince of Wales). in 1608 ; and also a handsome brass 22-pounder, of English manufacture, made for Charles Prince of Wales, in 1621. A beautifully-wrought 5-pounder, Charles 11., A.D. 1676. A brasS 5-pounder, having three bores, and taken at the battle of Ramillies, in the reign of Queen Anne. A beautifully-ornamented brass 27 -pounder. taken at Cherbourg in 1753. A light brass 24-pounder, George 1748. A splendid 42-pounder, made of fine brass, in length 16 feet, brought from Java in 1811. There was an inscription on it in the Persian langua! ' se, which was translated by the Earl - of Munster as fol lows :—" The work of the Sultan Ranafa Achmet Medi gem-ed-Deen, of the 'country of Palembang the Sacred, on which be peace 1 1188 of the Hegira" (a.D. 1769). To the right of the entrance was a range of brass and iron guns, mortars, &c. the greater, portion of which had been connected with some of the most eventful periods of British higory. They were of the following de scription : A 32-pounder made of iron, in its original carriage, and a brass 24-pounder, recovered from the wreck of the Royal George, in the year 1834, having been under water 52 years. A 7-pounder brass cannon from Malta, in length 17 feet 4 inches. A singular brass gun of the reign of Charles 11. Two elegant brass 24-pounders; on the breach some lions' skins are very finely carved, and also the effigy of St. Barbara. They were taken from the walls of Vigo by the army under the command of Lord Cobham, in 1704. Two beautiful brass lichornes, 15-pounders, manufactured at St. Petersburgh, and dated respectively 1783 and 1789, taken from a Turkish frigate. Two splendid 1-pounder brass guns, elaborately orna mented and mounted on elegant carriages, presented by the Earl of Leicester to the young Duke of Gloucester, son of Queen Anne, who died in his youth, in 1700. Two brass mortars, each weighing 2,8401b5., taken at Cherbourg in 1758. A brass mortar capable of throwing nine shells at once, from which the balloons were thrown at the celebrated display of fireworks in 1743. And a beautiful specimen of casting, consisting of ten small brass cannon, on carriages. They were presented by the brass-founders of London to Charles 11., when that mo narch was only nine years of age, for the avowed pur pose of aiding his studies in the art of war. (hi a raised platform stood the drum-major's chariot, with the kettle drums fixed. This was used on state oc casions, or when the train was on the march. It was then drawn by six horses. Beneath, placed in a recess, was a grate for heating shot; and also a singular eltecaxcle frise, made at Lyons, and intended for the defence of a narrow pass or breach. One of the wooden guns, called " Policy," which were used as a ruse de guerre by Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, at the siege of Boulogne, in 1544, when that nobleman commanded for Henry VIII. The object was to impress the Governor with a belief that the English had plenty of artillery, and the strata gem was eminently successful. In the Small Armoury there were arms for upwards of 150,000 men, all new Hinted and ready for service. There were four square columns formed with pikes, of the time of Charles 11., of the height of 22 feet ; round (FROM A CORRESPONDENT---RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.) The interior of the Armoury is still burning, and three engines are kept constantly playing on the mass of burning materials. Consisting as it does of such com bustible matters—gunstocks, molten barrels, lead, clothing, and burning rafters, amongst which is an im• mense quantity of old Ordnance records—there is no doubt it will be many days before the fire is completely extinguished. It is understood an inquiry of the most searching cha racter will: be entered into by the Board of Ordnance, and a preliminary meeting has been held to-day at the Tower. It is also rumoured that a Police Magistrate will assist in the inquiry. The conduct of some part of the military at the commencement of the fire on Satur day night demands the most rigid inquiry. Many of them, under pretence of assisting the residents in the Tower broke their furniture in the most wanton manner, and actually forced open the desks both in Mr. Forman's office and extracted a 5/. note, as also Mr. Ferrier's desk at the Map Office, from which they took nine sovereigns. They also stote in a cask of rum belonging to Mr. Allen, after which their conduct for a short time was more like men at the sack of a town than that of a force to which the civil residents had to look for assistance and succour, under the awful circumstances in which they were placed. In justice we must say, that when called to their senses by their officers, and under discipline, their exertions were most strenuous, and every thing was done by them to prevent the conflagration extending to the Terrace and Chapel, which, had the flames reached, there can be no doubt but that the whole of the Tower would have been burnt to the ground, and a numher of lives sacrificed. • The Morning Chronicle states, that Captain Davis, of the Scots Fusiliers, saved the Duke of York's sword and sash, from the Grand Armoury. The fact is, that Mr. Thomas Spinks, son of Mr. Spinks, of the Surveyor- General's office, rushed into the Armoury, and being un able to carry the glass case which contained the sword, &c., broke the glass, took out the sword and sash, and, wishing to remain to render any further assistance in his power, gave it up to Captain Davis's servant, with directions to take it immediately to a place of safety, and he gave it to Captain Davis, who, with Adjutant Walker rendered themselves conspicuous for their zeal and. activity during the whole of this melancholy affair. The escape of Mr. Pett's house, which is the Develin Tower, and is contiguous to the Grand Armoury, being separated only by a range of offices now erecting for the Small Arms Department, was miraculous, as the flames at one time were fast approaching it ; but fortu nately the wind veering at the critical moment, and the roof of the Armoury falling in immediately after, caused it to escape without any material injury. Mr. Peit neither moved his furniture, nor was any of it in jured, as he had the • precaution to keep the soldiers from entering it. On the right hand side of the Ar moury, the house occupied by Messrs. Allen and Elder caught three times, but fortunately was got under before much damage was done, or else the whole of the terrace, consisting of the official residences of many of the civil officers of the Ordnance-office at the Tower, would have been destroyed. The troops stationed at the Tower are the Royal Artillery and the Scots Fusilier Guards, many of whom showed themselves most efficient, and acted in a most praiseworthy manner. It is to be hoped that those men who disgraced their comrades by acts of pil lage' will be discovered and severely punished. The loss is computed at 500,000/, independent of the various interesting relics of by-gone "deeds of glory" destroyed. The fire, no doubt, originated in the Bowyer Tower, in a workshop called the Round Table, used by the viewers and others employed in the small-arm de partment, and supposed to have been caused by the flues of the stove getting over-heated. Of course, at present all is conjecture, but this appears the most probable cause of the calamity. which pillars were pistols entwined in a serpentine direction, and upon the ceiling was a beautifully carved and gilt ornament similarly decorated. Under this ceiling King William and Queen Mary once gave a splendid banquet. Round the whole of the room was a cornice formed of drums, pistols, and pieces of armour skilfully and tastefully arranged, besides a great variety of ornaments formed on the walls, with arms of ancient patterns. There were also beautiful stars, formed of- swords and pistols, with carved centres. Placed, in the midst of some beautiful wood carvings was a musket of splendid workmanship, whiff ; for merly belonged to the guard of Tippoo Seib. There was also a great number of the ancient plug bayonets, which had to be removed - from the piece before they could be fired. A variety of . ancient arms in devices, and the swords of Justice and Mercy, used at the coro nation of the Young Pretender in Scotland. Some curious carbines taken from the Highlanders in 1715. The arms taken front Sir William Perkins, Charnock, &c , who were concerned in the assassination plot.in 1696. Some sergeants' halberds, time of William 111. Scotch broad-swords, -time of George 11. Four figures in suits of brass and steel armour, and several banners, which came from Malta. There was also a quantity of musquetoons with brass barrels, so arranged as to repre sent an organ. Indeed, every portion of the walls and ceiling was covered with various tasteful designs of stars, church windows, gates, &c., formed of innumerable pis tols, swords, hangers, bayonets, and other small arms. At the conclusion of this grievous catalogue of de struction, it is pleasing to be enabled to say that a beau tiful piece of work which stood in the centre of the room was saved. It consisted of the celebrated brass gun taken from Malta by the French in 1798, and sent, with eight banners which hung over the same, to the French Directory by General Bonaparte in La Sensible, from which it was recaptured by the Seahorse, Captain Foote. The ornaments on the gun are of chaste and exquisite workmanship. The design is the head of the grand master in a medallion, supported by genii, the Koran, the turban, and the head of the artist surrounded by foliage, and other ornaments. The carriage is also carved with allegorical figures, and the wheels are carved, like suns. On the gun is a Latin historical description of it. The sword and sash which belonged to the late Duke of York were alsossaved, as has been previously stated, through the intrepidity of Captain Davis, who, however, severely cut his hands, by dashing them through the plate-glass frame, in which the sword and sash were enclosed. PRESENT APPEARANCE OF THE GREAT ARMOURY. The number of windows on this side of the Tower is forty-eight, and through the apertures a very fair view of the whole interior of the Grand Armoury presents itself. Looking upward as far as the eye can reach, it meets with nothing but the tottering remains of the walls on the other side. Towards the centre, however, atar more i n t eres ti ng object meets the view. Oppo site ' the ei grand ent rance i s to be distinguished the re mains" the grand staircase," which was considered one of the most magnificent in Europe. In order tO convey an adequate idea of what this staircase was, and what, alas ! it is, f it . may be well to give the following description, by one of the prin cipal warders Toner :—The staircase con sisted of a splendid trophy, consisting of arms and weapons, ancient rn, comprising nearly, two hundred varieties, and de nearly all differing in form or pattern. In the centre was half column,]lino lsup portingain a marble bust of his late Alaj a esty• IV., executed by Joseph, which c the was presented by his Majesty, and placed there on Quee occaion of his '__se mass, Ma jesty's visit to the Tower with Adelaide, on the .sth August, 1830. rh forminga splendid trophy, w as placed within a recess on the suppor t e d by eight brass six-pounder guns, which served landing, on a platform as pillars, and which were taken at Waterloo. In the centre of the platf orm was an inscription anno . nncino• the the visit of King William and Queen Ad ela i de, and up" tablet placed be tween two guns, the following ,:qhae kettledrums in this trophy were taken at' Blenheim, on the 2d of August, 1704, by the British troops under the command of John, Duke of Marlborough. The guns were taken at 'Waterloo, on the 18th of June, 1815, by the British troops under the command of Arthur, Duke of Wellington." Upon the walls at the sides were two large stars formed of swords, and their brass scabbards, bayonets, and pistols. The' one repre. seating the star of the order of the Knights of the gar ter, and the other of the Bath. Also, two figures in gilt suits of armour on ornamented pedestals. The rails of the stairs and the cornice at the ceiling, were orna mented with architectural figures, curiously formed with arms. Below upon pedestals existed two very striking groups, one representing a knight in gilt armour.prepar ing for action, attended by his squire in the act of buckling on his spurs, and a pikeman with his 18-feet pike. The other group was a knight in a handsome suit of bright ar mour of the time of Elizabeth, in action, having seized a banner of the enemy, waving his followers on. On each side of the entrance-door was a knight in a gilt suit of armour, and over the door was placed the Ord nance arms in white marble, and opposite two beautiful brackets, upon which stood the figures of two other knights in gilt armour. The whole of this superb stair case is, with the exception of the eight brass cannon taken at Waterloo, a mass of rubbish : they, as if in de fiance of the devouring element, still rear th e ir mou ths amidst the ruins, and retain their position on the plat form.

Mr. ERLE moved for a rule nisi to enter a nonsuit in this case, which was tried be fore Mr. Justice Maule at the late Exeter As sizes, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. It' appeared that there had been many claimants to and much litigation respecting a property called " The Four_ Lords' Land," but that in 1815, by means of a Chancery suit,. the husband of the plaintiff was declared the owner of three-fourths of it, and another person got the other portion. The present action was brought to recover rent for the last portion, and the plaintiff relied upon an acknowledgment of title by the defendant in a letter, wherein he said "in consequence of the long and harassing litigation, he prayed for mercy, compassion, pity, and recompence, &c." The Learned Gentleman contended that these words did not amount to an acknowledgment of title. The COURT thought that the point was worthy of further consideration.—Rule nisi granted. ROLLS' COURT, .Nov, 2. His Lordship, the MASTER of the ROLLS, took his seat shortly before two o'clock, and proceeded to hear mo tions, but no case of any interest came before the Court. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov, 2. The court was opened with the usual formalities. The following gentlemen having been appointed Que,en's Counsel, were, at the sitting of the Court, called within the bar :--111essrs. Wakley, Godson, Sut ton Sharpe, Knowles, Baines, Austin, and Stuart Wortley. THE QUEEN 1. , ...J0HN SHEEIIAN AND SIR JOHN MILLEY DOYLE. Mr. THESIGER had been instructed on behalf of Sir Alexander Grant, M.P. for the town of CaMbridge, to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal informa tion should not be filed against Mr. John Sheehan, editor of the Cambridge Press, and Sir John Doyle, for using language calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. It appeared that in May, 1840, Sir A. Grant became a candidate for the town of Cambridge, and on that occa sion Mr. John Sheehan, who was then Editor of the Cambridge Independent Press, inserted several articles which were highly derogatory to the'character of Sir A. Grant, and, as much depended upon the" tone of these articles, he should call the attention of the Court to some of them. The Learned Counsel then read some passages from the articles, in which Sir A. Urapt was called a slave-owner, a slave-driver, and' a slave-trader, and,, as such, a respectable representative of the Tories 'of Cambridge. He was also 'charged with having witnessed the flogging of female slaves. The paper was handed to Sir A. Grant when he was about to address the electors on his return for Cambridge, and he made some general remarks upon the charac ter of the paper in which they had appeared. Between that time and the next election Mr. John Sheehan avowed himself the author of these most scandalous • paragraphs. At that election Sir Alexander Grant, smarting under the feelings of irritation and resentment, and extremely anxious, as he was bound in justice to be, to clear himself in the eyes of his constituents, expressed himself in warm and strong language of the conduct of Mr: Sheehan. He said had he known at the time the author of these paragraphs, he might have told the electors something of his history and life with which he was fully ac quainted, but if he told the truth he might say what was libellous, and subject himself to an action for damages. He also said that the taper was a blackguard one, and that he would treat the writer in future with the contempt such a fellow merited. In consequence of Sir Alexander Grant's observations, Mr. Sheehan wrote him a letter, de manding a retractation of these observations, which he deemed prejudicial .to his character ; and in his reply Sir A. Grant declined to hold any communication with the person who had avowed himself the author of these articles. On the Bth of July Sir John Milley Doyle ad dressed a letter from Newry to Sir A. Grant on behalf of Mr. Sheehan, stating that he would wait upon him on his arrival in London, and on the 17th of July Sir John Doyle bad an interview with Lord Granville Somerset, as the friend of Sir Alexander Grant, his Lordship hav ing undertaken that lace solely with a view to an ami cable adjustment of the matter. Sir John Doyle did not attempt to defend the paragraphs, but maintained that they could not be considered personalities. Lord Gran ville Somerset remarked that during the thirteen months that had elapsed, Mr. Sheehan had not made any apology or retractation, and that he could not call upon Sir A. Grant for any explanation until that had been done. A letter was subsequently produced by Sir John Doyle, on the authority of Mr. Sheehan, stating that he had no in tention to reflect upon the personal honour or private character of Sir A. Grant, but Lord Granville Somerset did not think it satisfactory, and it was afterwards de cided to refer the whole affair to. Sir H. Hardinge. Sir H. Hardinge entirely acquiesced in the view of Lord G. Somerset as to the unsatisfactory nature of Mr. Sheehan's explanation, and the impossibility of his requiring any satisfaction from Sir A. Grant until he had retracted these offensive paragraphs. Sir H. Hardinge's letter was transmitted to Sir John Doyle, who returned it, stating that he understood Sir H. Hardinge was to be applied to merely as a friend, and not as a referee, and he wrote another letter at the same time to Sir A. Grant request ing him, as Lord Granville Somerset had refused to act, to name a friend to whom reference could be made for the purpose of obtaining the necessary satisfaction. Sir A. Grant, in reply, stated that he had resolved to abide by the advice of Lord G.. Somerset and Sir H. Hardinge, and tat if any. steps were resorted to to provoke a breach of the peace, he should place the affair in the hands of his legal adviser. Sir John Doyle, on the 27th of July, again wrote to Sir A. Grant, denying that gentleman's right to offer any opinion upon a matter in which he was so far personally concerned, and conchided by observing, " as you seem to mistake both your position and mine also, for I now make the case my own, I must for the last time request that you will, within 24 hours, refer me to some friend on whose judgment and responsibility you can rely for the purpose of obtaining the necessary satis faction." There could be no mistake as to the object of that letter, but the reply of Sir A. Grant was that he had placed the matter in the hands of his legal adviser, and would move for a criminal information the first day of the present Term. Notwithstanding that announcement, there appeared shortly afterwards in the Cambridge Press a long statement containing the correspondence between the parties, and a very inaccurate account of what had taken place at the different interviews, and closing with a letter highly defamatory of Sir A. Grant, charging him with having been ashamed of an apology and afraid of the alternative. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue that he was entitled to the rule prayed for,.Sir A. Grant in his affidavits having denied the several alle gations urged against him by Mr. Sheehan. Lord DENseAN—It does not appear that Sheehan knew anything of Sir John Doyle's letter, or that Sir John Doyle knew anything of the publications in the paper ? Mr. THESIGER—No, my Lord. Lord PENMAN—Then you will have separate rules against each. I think there is foundation enough for them.—Rules granted. QUEEN'S COUNSEL.

ThiS being the first day of Term, the Judges and lead ing Counsel, in conformity with the usual custom, break fasted with the Lord Chancellor at his residence in George-street, Hanover-square. At half-past one o'clock his Lordship, attended by the Vice-Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls, and Mr. Knight Bruce and Mr. Wigram, the newly-appointed Vice-Chancellors, took his seat in the Court of Chancery, which was thronged to excess, the gallery being filled with ladies elegantly dressed. The oaths were then administered to his Lord ship and the two new Vice-Chancellors, and immediately afterwards their Lordships were dismissed by the Lord Chancellor, and retired to their respective Courts. SMITH V. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. This was an appeal from an order of the Vice• Chan.. cellor, made for the production of certain books and papers. The suit arose out of the following circum stances. The plaintiff was Captain of a vessel sent by the East India Company to Madras, on arriving at which place, it was agreed that plaintiff • should carry a certain quantity of cotton on his own account from Madras to Canton, and plaintiff bound himself by bond to the Company for payment of the - • of the cotton, and also of the freight of the r' • twice ship. On the arrival of the vessel in t' - • - I °mPanYs Company claimed payment of the country-, the freight, and having monies of the Captain in their ' in satisfaction of it. Tb - nands, appropriated them the suit, on the plaintiff thereupon commenced bound himself " ground, that though he MIA —tor payment of the freight, ,rtt at the l n nd so there was an agreement with some it _duals in India, representing the Company, by which time - . was arranged that he was not to be called upon for payment. As he could not, on :.ceOunt of the bond, bring his action at common law for recovery of the money detained, he therefore filed a bill . 111 Equity for relief. The question in the present appeal was whether the documents in question were 'official communications and privileged from production. Ills LORDSHIP, after hearing Mr. Loftus Wigram for the appellants, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Spencer for the respondent.; reserved his judgment. In the course of the morning, Mr. Cockburn, who has been appointed Queen's Counsel, was called within the bar. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 2. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir L. SHADWELL.) His Honour was occupied all the morning in hearing motions of little public interest. NEW COURTS. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) The Committee-rooms of the House of Commons, which have been appropriated for the accommodation of the new Vice-Chancellors appointed under the Act lately passed for the better administration of justice, were crowded from an early hour with persons anxious to witness their Honours taking their seats in their re spective Courts. Indeed so great was the throng of professional gentlemen and others, that it was quite a task to effect an entrance into either Court. Whoever were so fortunate as to gain admittance, might justly say that they never conceived it to be so difficult to " get into Chancery." At a few minutes before two o'clock his Honour Mr. K. BRUCE entered the Court, and proceeded to hear mo tions. OLDFIELD V. COBBETT. Mr. COOPER applied to the Court in this case to have an order discharged which was made by the Lord Chief Baron, in pursuance of which Mr. Cobbett, the son of the late Mr. William Cobbett, was committed to the Fleet p r i son. The grounds of the application were that matters of consequence had subsequently arisen which did not impeach the order pronounced by his Lordship. The case had not been yet heard, although notice had been given two months before the long vacation. Counsel submitted, that by th e 3 1st section of the new Act,:his Honour could give judgment, provided an order was made transferring the case to his H onour ' s j urisdiction. His HONOUR said, that hisimpression was, that the appli cation could be en t erta i ned by him ; but he wished it to be distinctly understood, that with respect to applications to discharge or vary orders pronounced by the Lord Chan cellor or Vice-Chancellor Shathiell, he should prefer that such applications should be mane in the Courts in which those orders had been pronotweed, , rather than before DAINTRY L. HUTCHINSON. Mr. KELLY moved for a new trial in this case, which was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at the late Cambridge Assizes, when a verdict was passed for the defendant. The Learned Gentleman said the action was upon an agreement to run a match with greyhounds for 1001. a-side. The defendant challenged the plaintiff to run a course of three matches with his dog Grasper, against his (the defendant's) dog King Cole. It was accepted, and an agreement entered into, in which it was stipulated that the said match is to be run on the Wednesday during the Newmarket February Meeting in 1841, P.P. ; and it was upon these words the point turned. It was given in evidence, that the usual prac tice was for the Stewards to appoint the day of the February meeting in the previous November, but al ways with a proviso that it was fixed, weather permit ting ; and that , clause was rendered necessary, becauselit was impossible for the dogs to run should frost prevail at the time fixed. The , first Tuesday in February, 1841, had beeu so appointed by the Stewards for the commencement of the meeting, - but some days previous to that time, there being a hard frost on the ground, and no . immediate prospect of a change, the Stewards met and adjourned the day of meeting till the Tuesday fortnight, and both parties to the action were present at the time, but, in order to make all sure, the plaintiff caused a written notice of the fact to be served upon the defendant. The meeting was held upon Tuesday, the 16th of February, and the plaintiff attended with his dog, prepared to run the match on the Wednesday, but the defendant did not appear. The plaintiff took all the steps usual upon such an occasion, and brought his action upon the agreement. At the 'trial the Learned Judge laid it down that:the meeting specified in the agreement was the first 'Tuesday: in Abruary, and the Jury found fcr the. defendant,' according to his directions. He was surprised at the direction, and would contend that the meeting clearly was properly adjourned till the 16th, and that the meeting then held was the meeting contemplated in the agreeinent. The COURT granted a rule nisi. GRAY V. PEARSE. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 3,400/. which was tried before Lord Abinger, at the sittings in London after last Term, when a verdict was found for the defendant. . ..,, Mr. ERLE now moved for a rule nisi to enter the ver dict fur the plaintiff, or, failing in that, for a new trial. He said the plea to the action was "that the defendant made the promissory note to James Augustus Grant for money lost at play to the said J. A. Grant, and that the said bill was endorsed over to the plaintiffs, without consideration. At the trial the Lord Chief Baron allowed it to be proved that in October, 1840, a Mr. Caldwell called at the Albion Hotel, Brighton ) and ordered a dinner for three gentlemen to be ready on the 10th—that on that day the same gentleman, Mr. Pearse the de fendant, and a person, who answered to the name-of Grant, did dine there, and afterwar6 drank very freely of wine and played at cards to a late hour—that on the 15th of the same month the same parties were again at the hotel, and upon that occasion the waiter was called up and requested to sign a "paper as a witness. Ile did so, but did not see its contents. The paper was put into his hands, and identified. It was a memorandum as follows :—" Mr. Pearce having lost to me 3,4001., has this day given me a promissory note for 1 that sum, I hereby undertake not to call upon him for payment of it until he shall have first given me notice that he is in a condition to pay the same," and that was signed "J. A. Grant." It was further allowed to be proved that some time ago Grant levanted, leaving many debts unpaid ; that he had, about the 17th, offered the bill to a person to whom he was indebted, and that Gray, the plaintiff, was a bankrupt in 1831, "and the keeper of a play-booth on Epsom Downs. To . all of that he (Mr. E.) had ob jected at the time, and he now contended that every part of it was inadmissible. Nothing done or said by Grant, could in any way effect Gray, the plaintiff ; neither was ,the Grant at Brighton at all identified as the Grant who endorsed the bill to the plaintiff. The memorandum was clearly no evidence. Mr. Baron PARKE—You did not prove; consideration; that 'you were called upon to do. Mr. BaLE submitted not, for, strike out the evidence of which he complained, and there was nothing left ,but that seine parties dined at Brighton, drank wine and played"; but'how' was it shown that the two Grants were the same ? The COURT were of opinion that as the whole of the evidence was and could only be circumstantial, none had been improperly admitted.—Rule refused. SHERIFFS' COURT, Nov. 2. UPSTON V BROMWICH. This was an action to recover the sum of 71. Bs. 9d., being the amount of an attorney's bill of costs. Mr. Thomas appeared fur the plaintiff, and Mr. Baines for the defendant. The bill was an ordirary attorney's bill of costs, and the only defence was with respect to the items, which were alleged to have been unnecessarily charged. An other ground of defence was, that the amounts of those items had been paid at various times. A witness was put into the box, .a clerk of the plain tiff, who stated that many of the items were charged for attendance, &c. upon the defendant, which charges were not entered in any book, , but were charged upon the recollection of the witness. Mr. BAINEs addressed the Jury for the defence, and stated that the present action was a vexatious one, as the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant, and, in order to get rid of that claim, the present was brought. The Learned Counsel then called several witnesses, who proved that the plaintiff had called his creditors to gether, and in the list was the name of the defendant. The defendant's claim was for money received by the plaintiff on account of the defendant. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OP BANIGHIPTCY, Oct. 22. b.{ i4E t?2k 4 iii; _ _ raf This Was the day fixed for the final examination of the bank rupt, whose examination in August last was reported in this journal. He was deeply engaged in mining spoon latione in Cornwall a few years ago, and having been comparatively successful in his first attempts, he soon obtained the reputation of being a " fortunate " man, and having embarked la an increased number of a similar rialktre, he obtained a subscriptions " from clergymen in Kent to the amount of 100,0001., and upwards, and from one Member of Parli a ment (Colonel Rushbrooke, M.P.) us less than 75,000/, The mines turned out to be a, must a total l'ailure The Learned COMMISSIONER asked if any solicitor. was in attendance to put any questions to the bankrupt touch ing hie fite Malts, as, if not, he would nut delay his last examination for more than a few days. Mr; Nias j a solicitor, who attended for several credi tors,. said that from a severe inquiry by himself, and also from information which he had derived from the official assignee, he (Mr. Nies) ova s perfectly satisfied with the accuracy' of the bankrupt's accounts, as presented to the Mitt by Mrs Matt, the accountant, at the express de sire of the creditors. Sir C. F. WiLLIAms—I ane obliged. to the official as signee for his very effective s xamination of these volu minOtis counts, forf Mika that my early impressions of the case were very diffetent from thaw, *Thiel) I now entertain; haying given to it in the meantime my most antiolis tonsidetatiolit Mr. Nits—My clients, your Iforldiff; fttilk share in your feeling: Although they are fully satisfied that Oil will riefer tit anything by delaying the bankrupt's final. examination, they still believe did tlatounts to be accurate. Sir C: F: WIELIAMS—I thonght it tamest impossible , until litetient dtt§e; filth atf Y3ttite) In ifbb* so large a sum as 360,0001. had been embarked, shoilid 1104 tattled in producing nothing ; but in justice to the bankrupt, and ne atfordieg somr, satisfaction to the creditors and the public (Who ribuit noi feitsdnebly have been satisfied if the utmost vigilance had fidt been eitereised hi the in vestilvatibn Of the ittinkrdpt'l ettraordinary affairs), I shall plitideed put some few quistioils to filth; in Order that he may have an opportunity of expleining her* it happened that so large a sum should have been expended, and end in producing nothing but " cobwebs." It must really atpbtif I,d lii inbfeditilt lb the wqrld. The bankrupt was theft sworn ; and in eiarhination by, the Learned Commissioner; gave the following eaidenbe Wag ref thank years In the War-. affidd at A good diary etid &tit the year 1829 or 1830 I first commenced my view of en , tering into mining speculations, and had property. to begiti with tti this amount of 12,0001. to 13,0001., partly in cash and partly iti an Utile hithageged to a Mr. M.'Don nel for about 20,0001. I miter put out any flaming pro specttiSea tabs et thittite advertisements to induce any party Whetabeitt to jaiti ,tie, not did I ever ask any one to join me who actually did so, On the contrary, all those who did join me were actually " volunteers." I collected 360;000/. in subscriptions an the course of five or six years, And 'litany persons, ffam whom I now hold letters in my hand, pressed me to allow them to subscribe to the speculation. Several letters were here handed up to the Learned Commissioner, and, after their perusal, he said that he did not feel it right to mention the names of those persons who had flung themselves into so profitless a speculation. Examination continued—l did not know the names of the writers of some of these letters ; and so many pressed to join me, that I told them that I must reduce the inte rest from 10 to 7 per cent. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—Sva delusion, such infatuation would scarcely be credible, if we had it not upon oath before us. The Bankrupt—Only two persons ever made any in quiry as to the produce of the " mines," or the nature of , the accounts, as the mines had a very "h i g h reputation, and I think they are very valuable still. v v e e no such r realised Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—Indeed 1 and they uhe a one shillala for the creditors. We shall delusion hero What was the amount of interest which b ` .14: ; y pY~} :i . ';'''' , r'ic. , ,.-5... you paid upon those subscriptions, and from what funds I did you derive it? Bankrupt—The amount was 60,0001., derived from the subscriptions, and so acknowledged by me. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—I am thus endeavouring to give you an opportunity of setting yourself right with the public, whose impression must have been against you from what transpired at your examination. I also wish to show the public the gross imprudence which the sub scribers to this absurd speculation have committed, while many of them, I fear, have been ruined. The ten per cent. interest was also paid out of the subscribers' own funds ; and yet it was something in favour of the bank rupt that all this delusion was created, not by his decep tion or alluring insinuations, but by the whispers of one to another that the speculation was likely to yield them their ten per cent. What, Mr. Graham, was the produce of the mines ? Mr. Graham (the official assignee)—The mines never yielded any profit from the beginning ; but two of those, in which the bankrupt held some shares, produced 18,0001. By the Learned COMMISSIONER—Did you, Mr: Cave, ever give . any one any particular character of those mines ? The Bankrupt—Never, except the printed ac count of the sale of the different ores ; and to pay the 10 per cent. upon the advances, would have required an annual profit of 36,0001., which I was not allowed suffi cient time to realise. What is meant by the " Cook's Kitchen ?"—lt is the name of a mine which has realised 2,0001 a-year. No one ever asked me for any certificate or voucher as to the quality of the mines, nor did I ever ask any one to give them the slightest recommendation. At your last examination you said that your best mine was sold, and your second best settled upon your wife. Which was that second best ?—The Godolphin ; and such" is the general estimate of its value, that parties have since advanced me from 30,0001. to 40,0001. upon it ; besides which, the money has all been kept in this country. That is your philosophical regection ; but I think the best thing would have been if yeu had saved it for your creditors. Your friend Captain Richards, the manager of the mines, and who knew best about them, never sub scribed a single shilling.—l would not allow him, and though he did not subscribe, his uncle, a most respectable miner, did. I now owe Captain Richards about 22,0001., and he was to have had 6001. a year for his manage ment, as the expenditure was equal to 100,0001. a year. There are only three or four of the mines now at work. I observe that 121,000/. was advanced by a very mode rate number of the clergy—is that so?—it is so; and I ceased paying the 10 per cent. after the end of the year 1838. There was a registry of all the shareholders, which any one who thought proper might have inspected at any time, and there was no concealment of any sort. The only funds in the banker's hands for the use of the creditors were two sums of 51.25. and 11. 10s. The abstract of the balance-sheet, as handed in by Mr. Hutton, shows the following particulars :—To cash 1,7031.35. 5d., besides an estate in the Kent-road, valued at 8,0001. ; also several shares sold in mines in Corn wall, value 326,844/. ss. 4d. ; creditors, 37,2301. 10s. 4d.; liability. 5001.—making a total of 366,2771. 19s. Id. The credits are stated to be—good debts, 1,1651.165. 10d.; bad debts, 6,202/. 17s. 6d. ; balance at banker's, Si. 10s. Bd. ; property, nothing ; profit and loss account for property in the mines by Mr. C., 339,792/. Os. 10d. • house and private expenses from 1833 to 1840, 11,111 /. 13s. 3d. ; liability per (contra, 5001.—making a total of 336,271/. 19s. ld. Sir C.F. WILLIAMS—I think it should be made known to the bankrupt's creditors and the public, that the Court deems his explanations to be satisfactory, but it is at the same time awful to think how so many persons of education, rank, and station in society, could have been deluded, by their own infatuation alone, of the enormous sum of 365,0001. Unless cause be shown to the contrary, I shall pass the bankrupt this day week. INSOLVENT COURT. Nov. 2. IN THE MATTER OF W3I.'RICHES. - . The insolvent applied en his petitiqn to be discharged. It appeared that he had been a ,general agent and canvasser for several mercantile . houses, and induced the opposing creditors to funigh him with a quantity of brandy and liqueurs, which he sold at a reduced price immediately after receipt. He had, accepted accommo dation bills to a great extent for a person named Bowse, all of which were dishonoured.' No property was avail able now to his creditors. Mr. Commissioner LAW, after commenting in 'strong terms upon the case, ordered him to be remanded for 11 months from the date of his vesting order. IN RE' JOHN C. ASHTON. - In this case the insolvent had been a coalmerchant, carrying on very extensive business at Blackwall. His liabilities amounted to between 6,0004 and 7,000/. It appeared by the evidence of a number of witnesses, that he had written to several of the creditors stating that he would require upwards of 10,000 tons of coals, and referred for character and respectability to Mr. Dodd, the solicitor, of Old Broad-street, and that his wharf was worth 10,000/. This latter fact was denied by the insolvent, and Mr. Dodd, in his examination, ad mitted that at the time the creditors applied to him, he had made the insolvent execute a deed of assignment of a portion of his premises for a debt of 3741., as his cir cumstances were so distressed, he required that security for his debt. lie never informed the persons who applied to him of this fact. "• Mr. Commissioner LAW said, that the representations the insolvent made in the letters to the several creditors was inexcusable. He should order the.case to stand over until Tuesday, andin the meantime the special balance sheet should be amended, and other documents produced. POLICE INTELLICJENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. _ A man, named William Higgins, who stated that he was a tailor out of employment, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, charged by a policeman with having attempted to cut his own throat with a razor. Policeman, No. 463, stated, that some nigifts ago a woman called to him to remove a man who was lying in a place called Walbrook-buildings, near the Mansion house. Witness found, upon going to the spot, which was dark, that the defendant was lying there bleeding from the neck, and that a razor was close to him. Although the wounds, which he learned from the defendant, bad been self-inflicted, were not deep, there was a quantity of blood about the place. The defendant was conveyed to the Compter, where he had the immediate assistance of the surgeon, and he soon recovered. Sir P. LAURIE asked the man why he attempted to destroy himself ? He replied that he was in a perishing condition, and could get nothing to do. The policeman said the wounds were not deep. Sir P. LAURlE—Suicides, and attempts, or apparent attempts to commit suicide, very much increase, I regret to say. I know that a morbid humanity exists, and does much mischief, as regards the practice. I shall not en courage attempts of the kind, but shall punish them, and I send you to the tread-mill for a month as a rogue and vagobond. I shall look very narrowly at the cases of persons brought before me on such charges. Committed as a rogue and vagabond. GUILDHALL. George Johnson was charged by policeman Egan with disorderdly conduct, in refusing to "move on" when directed to do so. The policeman stated that he observed the prisoner about half-past two on Monday morn in g conversing with a woman at the entrance of a court. He ordered him to move away, and, on his refnsal to do so, he moved him off at once to the station-house. Sir PETER LAURIE—Is that all ? Policeman—Yes, your Worship. Bir PETER 'LAURIE — Was the prisoner drunk ? The policeman seemed to think not. Sir Pg7Tn LAURIE—And are you in the habit of taking people into custody for merely talking to women in the street, without their having committed any other offence ? Police Li: a n:—..:Nevehr t al i n h l a y v , e y o 3 u ,o r u W t o o rssahyi, Johnson, J ! Sir PETER U LARE to the charge against 'in't' The prisoner answered that he had been drinking late will; a friend, and entered casually into conversation with the Woman as he was re turning home. Sir P. LAURIE—WeII, there is nothing against you but your own concession of having been drinking; for I have no notion of people being taken up by the police for merely speaking to women. You are discharged. T. Swift, Edward Elms,. and James Byer, were also charged, by policeman 298, with disorderly conduct in refusing to more on quietly when directed to do so. Theyoliceman stated that early in the morning he saw the prisoners walking arm-in-arm down Nolliorn-hill, and creating a disturbance. Alderman PARNCOMBE—What sort of a disturbance ? ' Policeman—On, singing your Worship, and making a gad noise. —(Much laughter.) He then proceeded to state that he ordered them " to have done with that 'ere" (air?), ILO on their still continuing it, collared as many pair of hands well could—namely, two, and of them as a the third 'good-naturedly waited till a brother policeman dilate tip, He thei^. moved theta off to the station-house — a mutiar to which i:_ley showed as much reluctance as he conceived attieemted to a "resistance to him in the execution of his duty" Alderman FaaNcomuE- 13 ut on what charge after all did you detain them ? IV-iceman—For singing along the street. AMPttetitil FARECOMBE—Why, by your own account, they were waNing on peaceably enough ; and if you did'nt like their singlq, they would have soon been out of your hearing. Policeman—Then they resisted me, your Worship. Alderman FARNCOMBE—Yes, after you had seized upon them. I think it a great pity that you interfered with them. What have the young men to say ? The , , pfiedliefs replied that they were re turning home to gether and Min-ming a low chaunt, when t ro e ug p h o l lic eman pounced upon them end tr eated then veryuld, chaps, Alderman FA nNcolunt—Well, it wo p have been better if you had refrained from singing i n the streets ; but the policeman has bet n too forward in the matter. You are now discharged. WORSHIP -STREET. Mr. G. Barnet was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged by policeman G 30 with having obstructed Mill in the execution of his duty, and used abusive language towards him. The policeman stated that in the execution of his duty he called last Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, at the White Lion, Brick-lane, to see that the house was duly cleared and closed. A woman, coming out of the house, observed to him, " Well, yeU see, policeman, we are all going home," to which be replied that it was time for them to go home to bed, when Jr. Barnet passed by en I remarked " That's right, policeman ; do your duty," which he (the policeman) considering " highly impro per," ordered him to go on if he did not wish to be locked up. Mr. Barnet accordingly did go on without taking further notice, and he tollowed him to " remonstrate with him on the impropriety. of interfering with a policeman in the execution of his duty," but the lecture, instead of being thankfully received, led to " some words," and, amongst the rest, to the term " vagabond" being applied by Mr. Barnet to the policeman, for which offence the policeman " in- MORNING SUN' stantl3" conveyed Mr. Barnet to the station•house, where he was quickly bailed by his friends. 'Va. Barnet said that he had some mos t respectable witnesses to call as to what passed, but Mr. BuquiLun said it was perfectly unnecessary. ge had heard sufficient, and heard it with regret, not only. on Mr. Barnet's account for the inconvenience he had; suffered, but on the policeman's account, whose previou conduct had been very correct. He had no business to follow Mr. Barnet in the manner he had done. I d r ' Barnet's observation appeared to have been made in.l! proper spirit; but even if it had been made jeerin,ll, therowas nothing in it to be so mightily offended at. The policeman appeared to have lost.his temper, and he. (Mr. Bingham) was very sorry for it, and trusted that would be more cautious for the future. Barnet was then discharged. vamp n AY THE MARKETS.—YESTE R.--- COLONIAL MARKET. flip).
