His LORDSHIP came into Court to-day a little before eleven o'clock. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. JAMES was instructed to 1 7 equest his Lord ship's early judgment in this case, as it was highly important to the parties. His LORDSHIP would consider the matter imme diately. MORRIS V. DA VIS. His LORDSHIP, upon the application of Mr. Spence, directed - this case, which is a motion for a new trial, to come on on Thursday next. His Lord- , ship had had the Learned Judge's notes sortie time. voir.rc,e. rAaaoTT. Upon Mr. , 'ritEstovs mentioning this case to the Court, His LORDSHIP thought the proper course to be adopted would be, as the parties did not appear now to press for the committal, that the execution of the order should be suspended, and the parties he at liberty to present a petition to the Court for a refe rence to the Master as to a settlement. Thus the matter rests for the present. EX-PARTE FOULKES. Mr. ROSE said, his Lordship in this case directed that the costs of a motion which had been made some time since should stand -over till the petition was disposed of, and it was his duty now, the Court having dismissed the petition yesterday, to ask for costs of that motion. iii 9 LORDSHIP thought Mr. Rose's client was not entitled to the costs as against the solicitor, but that they must be taken out of the estate. The Court then proceeded with several unim portant motions. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. FOXCROFT V. WOOD AND OTHERS. This was an application for an injunction to re strain the defendants, the assignees of Fennel, a bankrupt, from selling and disposing of, or other wise interfering in, the business or stock of a certain nil 'of vitriol manufactory, situate near Birmingham. The affidavit in support of the application stated, that some time since Messrs. R. anti S. Fennel, of St, Mary A.fe, purchased from a Mr. Loffer his 1n .., tercst in the Islington and Summer-lane Oil of Vi . triol Laboratory, near 'Birmingham, which bad been previously managed by the ... plaintiff, at a - salary -of itsoui 140/. a year. The Messrs. Fenuel timi - ed the plaintiff in their employment at the same salary, but instructed him to carry on the business in his, own name ; he having a p er _ feet relianCe on the solvency of these gentlemen, ac cepted bills on account of the concern, and made himself otherwise liable to a large amount. The affidavits stated that several of these bills, although in the first instance given to persons who had full knowledge of the plaintiff's connexion with the Means. ‘Fennel, had subset ently passed into the bands of bona fide holders without notice, who had therefore a legal claim on the plaintiff 'for the amount. In the course of the last year, Mr. B. Fen nel died, and the other partner Mr. Samuel Fennel, having shortly after become a bankrupt, his assignees under the commission,seized the establishment at Bir - tnitighainovithout taking any steps to indemnify the plaintiff for the liabilitieshe had incurred iu'respectof it. • Utider these circumstances, the presenthill way filed, • -the object of 3 which was, that it ahould be-.daclared that-the -plaintiff had a - lien on the establishment and business for the amount of- these liabilities, .which it was stated exceeded 1,4001. Wr. BICKERSTETII,.III . support .. of the application, stated that this particular establishment - was per fectly solvent, and that the plaintiff had offered to give up his lien, upon being indemnified. Air. PEPYS opposed the motion, and cited a case decided by Lord Eldon, in which it was laid down that no person can claim a lien on any property, on account of monies expended upon it, unless he have an interest in the property. This was the case with respect to partners in a ship, who were considered as tenants in common, and not joint tenants. The VICE-CHANCELL O R granted the injunction. It appeared to him that an actual possession of the concern had been given by the Fennels to the plaintiff, and it appeared they could not have taken it away from him, without having first indemnified hiM against liabilities. His Honour did not think that • the assignees could claim to be placed in a better situation than the bankrupt, and therefore granted the injunction. _ 44 - fyi , r.4 TY, COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

The deceased Was in the service of Mr. ShACKLE, of Hammersmith. On Wednesday, another female servant happened to go into the wash-Louse, and there found the deceased with the gar dener in a peculiar situation. They appeared greatly fur riedi and the servant threatened to inform her mistress of the circumstance. The deceased raid, "If you will t e ll, Yeu most." The gardener bogged her not to tell, and she • then said she would keep it a secret. In the afternoon, when the servants sat down to tea, the deceased could not be found ; and, upon search being made, she was disco vered in a pond at the back of the house. She had often ,titers heard to say, that if she was in the family way she would drown herself. The Jury consulted for some time, • • When it appeared that there was, out of a Jury of fourteen, nine for a verdict of " Temporary Insanity," and five for " Fella de sc."

This, however, proved not to be the fact, as the ser vices of the Deal boats, which had launched, ATM dispensed with, and none allowed to go, alongside. This measure prevented much confusion, and by the exertions of the Officer's crew and troops, the leak was soon got under, and the ship proceeded this morning with a fine breeze at S.W. for the River ; when the :Thomas Coutts struck on the Kneul, is coming for the Downs, the tide had ebbed lower b:. three feet than it had done for a considerable time.

MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The article entitled " Whiggisnf' is spirited and ferocious—no one can possibly slumber over it—and this is saying a great deal for a modern Magazine Paper. We wish, however, it had more generosity and less insidious state. ment ; it would then not be quite so excep tionable as at present. With regard to eloquence and energy, it is altogether a superior concern ; -but unluckily materient - superat opus. Th e criticism on " Swedish Poetry," the hint of which is confessedly taken from a paper on the same subject in one of the earlier numbers of the " Foreign Quarterly Review," affords matter for thought'and enquiry—the specimens of transla tion annexed, are, some of them, eminently happy. " The Battle of Vittoria," gives a lively account (detailed by a young Ensign to his great-aunt by letter) of that decisive con flict ; a spirit of strong reality pervades it throughout ; it is no compilation, but manifestly drawn from personal observation—as such, it is well worth reading. Mr. Hogg's account of " Fairies, Brownies, and Witches"—though cha racteristic, is somewhat prosy, we have plodded through it with difficulty, heightened by the barbarous dialect in which the characters are discussed. The inquiry concerning " Country Banks and the Bank of England" is importantH and full of sopud wholesome observation. We may possibly, in a few days, revert to the sub ject; but at present we must dismiss it with this general but merited praise—that even the most practised Bankers will derive some new hints from its perusal. MONTHLY MAGAZINE. One of the most curious features in the pre sent Number of this demure Quaker-like pe riodical—is a memoir of Mr. Wm. Grenville Graham—a gentleman, some three years since, well known about town, and concerning whom the press has been lately teeming with paragraphs. The present memoir, kindly—but we grieve to say, ungrammatically—takes up the cudgels in his behalf—and discovers that he was a wight of much kindly and geneious feeling. Now all this is mere fudge—or what is worse—cant. Mr. Graham, however dexterous in his commerce with mankind, and accomplished by extensive foreign travel, was a gambler, a determined cold blooded gambler, and this, to our way of thinking, implies the absence of all that adorns or perfects the gentleman. With one strange exception, we never yet heard of a great man who was incurably addicted to this vice. Other crimes may have their apologizers, even their admirers—but this stands by itself : it is a low, pitiful, degrading passion ; tainted all over with the vulgarest commercial spirit.. Mr. Graham was one of this sort—and to hold up such a man to pity, simply because he was good-natured (the not unfrequent conco mitant of extreme selfishness) is the very height of maudlin affectation. The " Review of Field's Memoirs of Dr. Pair" is conceived in a right spirit towards both the divine and his biographer. The former, indeed; - was throughout his life a greatly over-rated man ; latterly, however, he owed his reputation to his wig, an abundant cu riosity, which the " Edinburgh Review" has pickled, as Mr. Brougham would - say, and pre served in a jest. The good Doctor was the Cory phaus of that school of heavy long-winded 'critics who summed up the merits of a classic's fancy on their fingers, and judged of his style by the peculiar collocation of a word. A correct scan sion and systematic use of verb and noun was all that they looked for in Greek or Latin poetry ; they were mere Gerund-grinders, who could neglect the sublimity of lEschylus,—the ` sus tained majesty of Sophocles, or the elevated mind of that first of Latin writers, Lu cretius, in their admiration of their grammatical accuracy. The class, however, is now luckily ex tinct. The remaining articles in the present Number.—more particularly the discriminating criticism on, that fine old drama, " The Re venger's Tragedy,"—are penned with spirit, and will richly repay perusal.' Our limited space prevents extracts. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Sketches from the Irish Bar—" The Farewell of Lord Manners,"—from the lively pen of Mr. Shiell, arc this month unusually amusing and sarcastic ; as a specimen we give the address of Mr. Joy to his Lordship, on quitting the Irish Chancery Court ; it abounds in humour : It would, however, have been a misfortune for the lovers of ridicule, if any man except Mr. Joy had pro nounced the Address, which was delivered to the depart ing Chancellor. He is a great master of mockery, and looks a realisation of Goethe's Mephistophiles. So strong is his addiction to that species of satire which is contained in exaggerated praise, that he scarcely ever resorts to any other species of vituperation. Nature has been singularly favourable to him. His short and upturned nose is ad mirably calculated to toss his sarcasms off—his piercing and peering eyes gleans and flash in the voluptuousness of malice, and exhibit the keen delight with which he revels in ridicule and luxuriates in derision. His chin is pro truded, like that of the Cynic listening to St. Paul, in l i Raphael's Cartoon ; his muscles are full of flexibility, and are capable of adapting themselves to every modification of irony. They have the advantage too of being covered with a skin that dimples into sneers with a plastic facility, and looks like a manuscript of Juvenal found in the ashy libra ries of Herculaneum. In this eminent Advocate such ass assemblage of physiognomical qualifications for irony are united, as I scarcely think the countenance of any orator in the ancient city of Sardos could have presented. His face was an admirable commentary on the enormity of the encomium which he was deputed to offer. The _Evening Mail, indeed, the official organ of the Orange party in Ireland, gives a somewhat different account of this amusing exhibition. " Every sound," says that graphic journalist, " was hushed, while the Attorney-General, with a tremu lous voice, but with a feeling and emphasis which showed that the sentiments expressed cause directly from his heart," and so forth. Then follows the Address. I forbear from setting forth the whole of it, but select a single sentence : " We," said Mr. Joy, " cannot but admire that distin guished ability, that strict impartiality, and that unremit ting assiduity) with which you have discharged the various duties of your office." The delivery of this sentence was a masterpiece of sarcastic recitation ; and, to any person who desired to become a proficient in the art of sneering, of which Mr. Jey is so renowned a professzrr, afforded an invaluable model. Cicero, is his oratorical treatise, has given an analysis of the manner in which certain fine fragments of eloquence have been delivered ; and for thebetsefitto e nter with some min o t eness i nto a of the students of irony, it may not be improper de tail of the varieties of excellence with which Mr. Joy this pronounced view, I shalltlsis flagitious piece of panegyric.—With take each limb of th e sentence apart. —" We cannot but admire :"—ln uttering these words, he gave his head that slight shake, w.-sth which he gene rally announces that he is about to let loose some formida ble sarcasm. He paused at the same time, as if he felt a qualm of conscience at what he was about to speak, and experienced a momentary commisseration for the victim of his cruel commendations. This feeling of compassion, however, only lasted for ass instant, and he assumed the aspect that became the utterance of the vituperative adula tion which he had undertaken to inflict. " We cannot but admire the distinguished ability ;"—At the word "ability" it was easy to perceive, that he could with diffi culty restrain his sense of extravagance from breaking into laughter. However, he did succeed in keeping down the spirit of ridicule within the just boundaries of derision.— At the same time he conveyed to his auditors (the Chan cellor excepted) the whole train of thought that was pas sine in his mind ; and by the magic of his countenance re called a series of amusing recollections. It was impossible to look at him without remembering the exhibitions which for twenty years had made the administration of justice in the Irish Court of Chancery the subject of Lord Redes dale's laughter, and John Lord Eldon's tears. He spoke it with such a force of mockery, that he at once brought to the mind of the spectators . that spirit of ignorant self-suffi ciency, and presumptuous precipitation, with which Lord Manners discharged the business of his court. A hundred cases seemed to rise in his face. • Stackpoole and Stack poole appeared in the curl of his lip ; Blake and Foster qUivered in the movement of his nostrils; Brcssley against the Corporation of Dublin appeared in his twinkling eyes; and "reversal" seemed to be written in large charac ters between his brows. The next sarcasm which this un merciful adulator proceeded to apply, turned on his Lord ship's selection of Magistrates. At the utterance (,' "strict impartiality," the smile of Mr. Joy gleamed with ;• still yellower lustre over his features, and he threw hi countenance into so expressive a grimace, that the who], loyal, but pauper magistracy of Ireland was brought a , once to my view. I beheld a long array of insolvent jos tices with their arms out at the elbows, who had been ho noured, by virtue of. their Protestantism, with his Majesty'- commission of the peace. I did not think it possiW, for the powers of irony to go beyond this last achievement o the Attorney-General, until he came to talk of his Lord ship's unremitting assiduity, It was well known to ever) man at the bar, that Lord Manners abhorred his occupations. He trembled at an enthymem, he sunk under a sorito and was gored by the horns of a dilemma. His initabi • lity in court was the subject of universal complaint. 11, seemed to labour under an incapacity of fixing his atten tion for any continuity of time to any given matter of me ditation ; and by his wriggling in his seat during the admi rable arguments of Mr. Pennefather, and his averted eye. and the puffing of his cheeks, exhibited his strong distast for reasoning, and the horror which he entertained for al! inductive thought. It was in a frosty weather that his ex. citability and fretfulness of. temperament were particularl conspicuous. Hewes fond of shooting-, and if he was detaine,: by a long argument beyond the usual period which he al lowed to the hearing of causes, about Christmas, he brol« out into fits and starts of ludicrous irritation. Mr. Plun kett used to sav, that whenever Lord Manners heard tlo name of Mr. Hitchcock (a gentleman of the Irish Bar o considerable talents), his Lordship used to start, as if 'it were Hish ! Cock," that struck his ear. The memory of the Attorney-General, in complimenting him on his " unremitting assiduity," was, I am sure, carried back to those scenes of judicial impatience, in which, when the mercury stood at the freezing point, his Lordship's intole rance of all argument was exemplified. The look with which Mr. Joy executed the recitation of this portion of his address, was, if possible, a higher feat. It was chef•d'ceuvre of mockery, and a master-piece of derision." " Letters from the East" contain as usual in formation conveyed in a pleasing and intelligent manner. There is, however, too much sameness about this series of papers, both with regard to style and matter. When you have read one, you have read very nearly all. The " Main Chance" is a metaphysical dissertation ; rambling, unconnected, but vigorous ; it looks like Haz litt's. A " Swiss Tour" possesses not the slightest claim to novelty—we are tired of Geneva, it is as stale a subject as Colonel Arthur and Major Bradley. " A Military Ad venture in the Desert" might be fairly taken for a chapter belonging to a new forthcoming edition of " Anastasius. ' Its details of the Arabs and their Sheikh deserve more attention than our very contracted limits this month (owing to the heavy press of Parliamentary matters) can afford to bestow on them. The " Dancing and Howl ing Dervishes" is -a lively, but scarcely novel, description of these fantastical nondescripts.— Mr. Hope has already done ample justice to the subject. " Points of the Compass" is a light pertinent paper, hitting .off a city character in the pleasant sketchy manlier of the Smiths. " Notes of the Month" are an imitation of the same de sultory series of papers in the " Monthly Maga zine.' They are, however, worth reading. LONDON MAGAZINE. There is more matter—certainly more spirit-- than usual in the present Number of this Maga. zinc. It is of a more practical character than any of its rival publications, and bespeaks the superintendence rather of a man of the world than one of literary intelligence, The " Diary of the Month," therefore, a shrewd sarcastic commentary on passing events, is peculiarly adapt ed to such a Magazine. The chief Review in the Number ( Reviews still disproportionately pre ponderate), is that of Mr. Leigh Hunt's Lord Byron ; it is panegyrical of course ; but will never do away with the idea that the author has un warrantably injured the Noble Poet's fame.— Mr. Hunt and Lord Byron were evidently un qualified for each other ; the egotistical but good-humoured bon hommie of the one, must have seemed ridiculous to the shrewder, more practised, and sarcastic intellect of the other ; but is that a reason why the most comprehensive, daring, sublime, and impassioned poet of modern times should be handed down to posterity as a poor, drivelling, diminutive creature ? Because Mr. Hunt disliked Lord Byron, is his Lordship to be branded with infamy ? Because he did not altogether relish Spencer (who certainly affects a language and dialect foreign to his age) is his taste not merely to be questioned, but to be altogether denied ? The fact is, Mr. Hunt throughout has set himself up as a standard of perfection, whereby the merits of other men are to be estimated. All who agree with him in taste, politics, or metaphysics, arc idols: he is a sort of self-elected church establishment, from which all who dissent are damned. This is strong language, but it is not far from the truth. With regard to his Lordship, the silliest thing he ever aid, was in giving Mr. Hunt the oppor tunity of putting his malignant metaphysics in action against him. But this is the invariable reward of a frank, candid, and lofty nature. The analysis of the " Serf," is well executed and well in tended, and does the justice to that tragedy which the newspapers have hitherto denied it. There is no other article of particular interest in the present " London," unless we except the Irish Tale ; this, though long, will repay attention, and we recommend it accordingly. ORIENTAL HERALD. Mr. Buckingi:am has put forth this Number with all his usual spirit. There is much variety about it. and one or two of the leading articles are laboured with no slight effect. The Doctrine of Summary Commitment, taker► with regard to the character of its style and information, deserves particular attention. The same may be said of t h e appeal to England against the new Indian Stamp Act. MONTHLY REVIEW. This Review has made its appearance at so ver y late au hour in the day, that we arc wholly u nable to do more than acknowledge the receipt of it. Judging from its table of contents, we should conceive it must be both amusing and in structive ; at any rate its reviews are numerous a nd well selected.

BROWN, master, bound from Seville to Liver pool, was wrecked at Annaghlong, on the County Down shore, about three miles north east of Kilkeel. Three men were found dead in the cabin, and from their being undressed, it is supposed they were drowned during the night ; but how or when the melancholy event happened, is uneeryin. Two men, who, by the chip's papers, appear to have made up the crew, arc missing. The vessel was loaded with fruit, and that part of the cargo, composed of oranges, will be saved. In a pocket of the clothes, supposed to have been the Captain's, was found a letter, written, as if from the Captain to his wife.-.—Wa terford Paper. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On Monday, the Worcestershire Hounds met at Upton Snodsbury, with a large field, but did not find, Mr. Parker therefore met yesterday at Goesehill, which he drew blank, likewise Broughton Wood ; he then proceeded to the Trenches, where he had been the preceding day, and found about half-past two. Reynard broke immediately for Goose hill; the hounds going a most tremendous pace, back through the Trenches, Brick-kiln•, Crowle, Tibberton Village, to Coneyberry Wood ; he then sunk the hill for Warndon, and through all the Spetchley Plantations to Churchill Wood, and down to the Brook under Bow Wood, and thence to the left by the Thrift to the Brick-kilns, and Trenches, which be went through without the slightest check, and find ing he could not throw off his staunch pursuers, broke in the direction of Droitwich, through Oddingley, across the Canal, where the gallant Master of the Hounds leaped his chez nu t horse into the middle, and got across with a good soaking; here Reynard was obliged to turn to his old ground, and leaving Coneyberry on his left, skirted Toiler. dine, through the farm-yard at Leopard, within two fields of the Nunnery Wood, and as a last resource, again tried the Spetchley plantations, and it being now quite dark, Mr. Parker whipped off, Re) nerd being viewed about E. field before them. Throughout the whole of this brilliant tun, which lasted two hours and thirty-five minutes, the hounds were going their best pace, and the horsemen were frequently three or four fields behind ; and amongst those which went to the end, about twenty, there were deficient eleven shoes. Although Mr. Parker has shown the county a succession of very excellent sport, the run of yesterda2, is said to be far superior to any of his former ones.— Wor cester Journal. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The discussion in the Counnons last night s 'on bringing up the report on the Address, was. as interesting as could be expected, the absen of the greater part of the Ministers being consi dered. Fair play was promised to the Catholic question on the part of Ministers, by Lord tnerston, without which big Lordship said that he would not continue a member of the'Admi nistration ; indeed, whatever other objections mal be raised- to the Duke of 'Wellington as chief of a Ministry, we cannot help thinking -that the hopes of the Catholics must be improved, not b 7 the transfer of pre-eminence from - Mr. Canning to the Duke, but—leaving out the intermediate premiers—by the transition from Lord Liverpool to his Grace. The Catholics, will not find — from the habits of military men in regard to te li&ious subjects, and from the peculiar connexions of the military man of whom we are speaking, ! they cannot find—so fierce an enemy in the Duke of Wellington - as they encountered in the Earl of Liverpool. The praise of Sir Edward Codrington was pressed by Mr. Hobliouse ; and the approbation of the battle eluded by Lord Palmerston with the address usual on such cc easirens There is no precedent of thank jug a Commander for winning a battle where there has Lim, no •- declaration of war," said his Lordship. ThiSis erroneous," re. plies the Member for Westminster : " Sir Arthur Wellesley was thanked for his victory at Copenhagen, when no declaratior of war had been issued, and if Ministers will not thank the brave Admiral, I will my self move the House for a vote of thanks." The motion will probably only produce fresh evasion. There is no doubt that Sir Edward Codritigtcn acted as a British hero ought to act. His coun try admires him for his conduct, and will inscribe his name in the same list on which she has in scribed these of her Nelson, and St. Vinent, and other illustrious warriors : and it is therefore hardly worth thinking of, if the petty cavils of Ministers deprive him of the cold formality of a vote of thanks by the House of Commons. The last news from Constantinople does not show that the battle has had any " untoward" consequences. Times. We foam that while strangers %vac exeludea last night on a division, Lord Clii s cieji asked the Duke of Wellington, as head of the aovetn• meat, whether the report was correct that A bill was to be introduced this session, under the sane:- tion or by the authority of Government, to ranovo certain political disabilities of the Catholics of Ireland. His Grace replied in the negative. Thu!, therefore, has vanished the expectation that the new Government would concede to the Catholies all they wanted, with the exception of seats in Parliament ! for such was the tenour of that ru mour to which Lord Clifden alludes, Shak speare speaks of " a bastard hope " as applied to one of the Jewish nation. May not the friends of a liberal policy indulge a kind of negative hope, that if Government will not itself introduce the measure in question, it will not oppose it if introduced by others The account contained in our City article of the concerns of the Turks, and the proceedings at Constantinople, is not without interest. It should appear that the first and constant reason ings of this journal, on the probability of Turkey commencing a war against the Allied Powers, have been, up to the present time, fully con , firmed. Turkey remains peaceful and tranquil, and is adopting every possible measure to pro tect the persons of Christians resident within her domain ; neither have the Russians yet swdlow., ed up Moldavia and Walachia. • The chief dif ficulty in the present state ofaffzirs•is this,—that there are now no diplomati s t s at - Conttantincple to press the conclusion, .and arrange the terms of a treaty with the Greeks. e should say, that the Admirals might offer their cervices for that purpose, had we not had too recent an example be fore our eves of the risk of such negotiators, with their retinues, entering a friendly port, Theirap pearance, if it were not considered as the commence ment of a war by the Turks themselves, would be bruited as such throughout Europe : and the: funds of all nations would suffer in consequence.. How, then, supposing both the arties willing, eanapaeifi pacific Turks arrangement ?This subject madebc deserves betweeii the Greeks andthe immediate attention of the mediating Powers. The - Ambassadors have very properly received orders to rally at Corfu ; but we almost hope that the Grand Seignor himself will meanwhile add to his forbearance the more active qualities which his situation requires, and contrive come means of making conciliatory propositions to hi& enemies, which, if they be reasonable, the latter must be compelled to accept. That it may be known what propositions are esteemed reason able, and what not, in the eyes of Europe, we take this occasion of again making public that article of the treaty of London, signed last July. which chiefly relate to that subject .—" Art. IL The arrangement to be proposed to the Ottoman Porte shall rest on the following basis :—The Greeks shall hold of the Sultan as of a superior Lord (suzerain), and in consequence of this superiority, they shall pay to the Ottoman errn . pirc an annual tribute (relief), the amount of which shall be fixed once for all by a common agreement : they shall be governed by the ath thoritics whom they shall themselves c hoose, but in the nomination of which the Porte shall have a determinate voice."—Bid, upon, produced in _ if we exce pt the admirable train wh i c h fell from The speech of the Lords Conninioners, an d eba H te o s u c s o e uscquent there of parallel and irony Lord Hol. remarkable, or which had l the an d neither d_ a n y year s ars duringit a dvanced in the public Joli-.
