LAW INTELLIGENCE. PREROGATIVE COURT, Jurrx 14. LOCKE V. DENNER. Sir jotiN Nrcirw. delivered his judgment in this case.— The deceased was formerly married to a person named Clinch, who, as a coachmaker, had amassed considerable property, the whole of which, at his death, he bequeathed to her; she resided many years at Farnbam, and was a very illiterate woman ; in the year 1810 she married the Reverend Doctor Locke, who was in embarrassed circumstances, and who seemed both at and after the marriage to have had no other object in view but the possession of her money ; she, how ever, had a marriage settlement executed, by which all her property was placed in the hands of Trustees for her use, except the sum of 3,0001. or 4,000!., which she gave to her husband, thereby reserving the same power of disposing of her property at her death, as if she should die a widow.— Shortly after her marriage she made a will, by which she devised all her property to her poor relations. On the 13th June, 1811, she made another will, giving 5,000/. stock be tween her four brothers and two sisters, and the interest of 6,5001. to her husband, for life ; by a subsequent codicil she revoked the bequest of the interest of 6,5001. to her husband, and gave him, in lieu, a legacy of two thou sand pounds. In May 1816, she executed a will of quite a different character, giving Doctor Locke all her pro perty, and appointing him sole executor; on the 28th of May, 1819, she revoked the former wills and executed another, by which her property went chiefly to her relations, as she did not seem desirous that her property should go towards the support of a young wife, if ever Dr. Locke should marry again. In this will Mr. Denner was appointed executor, and in opposition to it Dr. Locke put in a will, bearing date the 13th of June, 1819, the very day before the death of the deceased, in which he is appointed sole executor, with the whole of the property, except a sew trifling legacies to her relations. Now the question for the Court to decide was, as to the mode of procuring the latter document, which was all written by Dr. Locke, and signed by three of his servants, therefore a greater burden of proof was necessarily thrown upon Dr. Locke, while the other document of May, 1819, was signed by respectable and disinterested persons. The Learned Judge read over a great portion of the voluminous evidence, and commented upon it as he proceeded. He observed, it was clear that Mrs. Locke had been influenced to make some of the wills; and that in one letter, written by her direction (as she was unable to write) to her professional adviser, alluding to the will in favour of her relations, she begged him not to let Dr. Locke know she had executed such a document, for if he knew of it, he would compel her to make one more in his favour. It also appeared that the decased was in a very low state from the 4th of June, 1819, until her death, and that her capacity was too much im paired to execute a testamentary document only the day pre ceding her death. On the whole, the Learned Judge observed that he could not help thinking that Dr. Locke had so con trived the transaction, as to give it every appearance of fraud ; he therefore was bound to decree probate of the will of May 1819 to Mr. Denner, and to condemn Dr. Locke in the costs of the suit.

The Ashantee Army was between Dixcove and Elmina, and the Cape Coast people were going to attack them. Sir C. AFC:ARTILY was dead, and the Officers who accompanied him into the Bush were also supposed to be dead, excepting Mr. WILLIAMS, who was at Elmina. The greatest anxiety is now felt for the arrival of his Majesty's ship Valorous, which is daily, We may say hourly, expected direct from a Mexican port, with the report of the English Agents as to the state of the Mexican territory and Government. That the report from Mexico, at least, will be unfavourable, there can be very little doubt, particularly as it was some time since known there that ITURBIDE was coming out, and that an expedition was about to be employed against the Independents, in th e first instance, at "neatens. But whatever may be the nature of the dispatches expected by Government from the new Transatlantic States, we are well assured that Mr. CANNING. w ill this night announce to Parliament and the Country that it is not at present intended that their independence shall be recognized by this country, because we know, from auth ent i c i n f orma ti o n, that i t is well un derstood th at suc h an ac t by the B r i t i s h G overn . meat, under existing circumstances, will inevi tably lead to a war with the Continent of Eu rope.—Our private advices received this day from Paris state that as soon as M. de VILLELE's admini stration is formed,the first object of the French Go vernment will be to stimulate, if for the recovery o f assist, FERDINAND VII., great effort not openly to to make a his lost Colonies, on the ground or at least t h e pre t ext, of extricating th em horn a state of civil confusio n an d anarchy. The French Ratites on Saturday, after being a 103 f. 20 c. closed at 102. f. 86 c. We have received the Paris Papers of Satur day, and the Etoile of Sunday. With the excep. Lion of the light which they throw upon the di vided state of the Royalist party, by the conti nued bickerings of the Journals respecting the dismissal of Viscount de CIIATEAUBRIAND, their contents are unimportant. The Journal des De buts now attacks M. de CoaniaaE, the Minister of the Interior, as well as M. de VILLELE, whom it characterizes as "a very ordinary individual, who too frequently follows the advice of bad counsellors, even whilst he despises them,"—who, " though very skilful as a man of business, is much less so as a statesman,"—and who, " hav ing spent the greatest part of his life in the Co lonies, knows France but little, and Europe not at all !"—These are singularly unexpected asper sions upon a Minister whom this very Journal des D(sbats eulogized only the other day to the skies! But the spite of the Journal des DZ•bats even carries it so far as to say that M. de VII.- LELE " has given way too far to the impulse of wounded self-love and of impotent anger!" This is• really whimsically ludicrous. M. de VI.LLELR has just struck down a powerful and dangerous rival, by a blow that has at once hurled him from the favour of his Sovereign and from a most distinguished post in the Ministry ; and yet the literary advocates of the fallen and disgraced statesman affect to call the anger of that man impotent, who has made their patron so sensibly feel the energy of his resentment and the weight of his power.—The Constitutionnel states that the Portuguese Infant Don AltauEr, will not be received at the French Court, but has been ordered to take up his residence at the Castle of Compeign. The Queen of PORTUGAL (his mo ther), is ordered, it is said, to depart forthwith for Austria. Letters received from Madrid, dated the 2d of June, mention that wheat had risen in an extra ordinary manner, and was at the above date sell ing at 64 rialc the fanega, and it was thought that the price would soon be 70. Barley was selling at 30 and 32 rials. In the time of the constitution wheat was worth from 25 to 30 rials, and barley from 10 to 12. This shews what the Spaniards have gained by their late change. The public clamour was great, the poor loading the French with execrations as the immediate cause of the existing scarcity. The people do not forget the famine of Madrid in 1809, when the French were there, on which occasion upwards of 30,000 persons died of hunger in two months. This public calamity was, by order of the municipality, represented in a large painting, preserved in the Academy of Paintings. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH did not, last night in the House of Commons, present the Petition from the Merchants of London praying for the recog nition of South American Independence, in con sequence of an intimation from Mr. CANNING that the bringing it forward then would be pro ductive of inconvenience. It is to be presented to-night. On the second reading of the Bill for renewing the Irish Insurrection Act, Mr. ROBERT SON collected and urged all the objections which may be made to such a measure, and which would be made justly if it were proposed to render it permanent. Ile then moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. Secre tary PEEL and Mr. GourasuaN defended the measure as having been introduced at the recom mendation of the Committee for inquiring into the State of, Ireland, and as only intended to secure the peace of that country, until more efficacious remedies could be provided. Co lonel DAVIES and Mr. Seam" RI CE also sup ported it, much to their credit on similar grounds, and on a division the amendment was thrown out by an overpowering majority of 112 to 23.—The new Churches Bill was read a third time and passed, after two divisions ; as was also the Ma-1 rine Insurance Bill. The Bills for restoring four Scotch Peers to the honours of their attainted ancestors, and that for reversing the Stafford attainder, were passed yesterday in the Lords, and brought to the Com mons, where they received a first and second reading, went through Committees, and were or dered to be reported this day. DOTER, JUNE 14.—Arrived from Calais, on Saturday, his Majesty's packet Arrow, having on board ALEX. BAKING, Esq. M. P. and his fa mily.—The Sovereign steam-boat arrived yes terday from Boulogne with Mrs. SARTORIS and her family.—The Medusa steam-boat is arrived this day from Boulogne, with Mr. HAMILTON, the British Consul at that port. He was charged with dispatches for Mr. CANNING, and set off with them immediately for London.—His Excel lency Count liattvum is arrived here with the Countess and his son, who embark to-morrow morning for Calais, on their way to St. Peters- . burgh. BRISTOL AND BRITISH CHANNELS' GRAND SHIP CANAL.—According to Parliamentary docu ments, the number of ships an d t on nage passing and repassing th e L an d' s E n d i n C or nwall, both the number o f s hip s an d t onnage has multiplied between 1811 (when this grand project originated at Chard, in Somerset, by Mr. PYRE) and 1823, which proves the excellency of it, more particu larly as so many valuable lives will be saved an nually, and above one thousand pounds worth of property weekly. In short, it is impossible to describe the vast benefits derivable by the pro prietors, and the nation at large, from the execu tion of this noble plan, but the projectors will certainly be entitled to the everlasting gratitude of posterity.—The canal is to lead from Bridge- water, and enter the British Channel at Seaton' Bay, eastward of the St ar t P o i nt . A comm odious h ar bour will be f orme d i n Seaton Bay where, at high water, fri ga t es may f i nd a safe re f uge fro m shipwreck in th e W est B ay, wh i c h i s a lways a terror to ma r i ners, as t h e bay exten ds from Port land to the Start, where many valuable merchant men are frequently lost. NENV CHURCHES. On our re-admission, we found Mr. HUM E addressing the House against the present ad vancement of the New Churches Bill, the reading of which, a third time, he moved should take place to-morrow. Mr. DEN MAN supported the postponement, and the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed it. Mr. BROUGHAM spoke in favour of the postponement. Mr. 13. COOPER and Mr. Secretary CANNING opposed the postponement. The House then divided, when there appeared — For the postponement - - 20 Against it - 95 `Majority - —75 The Bill was then read a third time. On the motion that the Bill should pass. r - . DENMAN opposed it. He considered the grant as unnecesary and profligate, and as pressing most unjustly upon Dissenters. Mr. HUME repeated his former opposition to the Bill, on the same grounds upon which he had relied before. Mr. W. SMITII opposed the Bill, and Mr. RODERTSON supported it. Mr. MONCK said that he believed the Church of England was hated by the people. It was not Churches that were wanted, but congregations ; not cages, but better decoys. And 'lt so . happened, that whenever the English Church met with a rival it always yielded. He must, however, say, that he thanked Ministers for asking only half a million, because he saw the House would give a million if it were asked. Mr. T. WILSON supported the Bill. The House then divided, and there appeared— For the Bill - - - - 85 Against it - - - - 15 Majority . . -—7 O And the Bill was then passed. TREATY WITH THE NETHERLANDS. On our re-admission, we found Mr. CANNING moving for the second reading of the East India Possession Bill, though he said he would not press the motion at that late hour, if it were opposed. Mr. HUME opposed the motion, and the second reading was then fixed for this day. MARINE INSURANCE BILL. llir• BUXTON moved the third reading of the Marine In surance Mr. Alderman THOMPSON opposed the motion, as the hour was too late to discuss the question. Mr. HUSKISSON supported the motion, as the bill had al ready been fully discussed. Mr. P. (;RENFELL denied that the bill had been fully de bated. It was of the utmost importance not to pass it hastily and without due consideration. ' Mr. JOHN SMITH supported the Bill. The House then divided, when there appeared, For the Bill 55 Against it - 15 Majority -—4 O The Bill was then passed. HORSE SLAUGHTERING., -- On the motion of Mr. MARTim, for the second reading of the Horse Slaughtering Bill, Sir M. W. RIDLEY opposed the Bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. Mr. MARTIN supported the Bill, but said he did not in tend to press it this session. Sir M. W. RIDLEY withdrew his amendment, and the Bill was then committed, and the House went into the Committee. Report received, and ordered for consideration that day six months. The other Orders of the day were disposd of, and at HALF. PAOT Two the House adjourned. COLOMBIA. (OFFICIAL.) Speech addressed by Colonel HAMILTON, First Commissioner from His BRITANNIC MAJESTY, to his Excellency the Vice-President of the Republic, on the occasion of his being presented to him by the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the ath of March, at half-past 11 o'clock, together with Colonel CAMPBELL, and Mr. CADE, Secretary to the Commission. Sir,—lt is my ardent wish that the commission which the King of England has dispatched to the Republic of Colombia, should be means of establishing a firm and solid alliance be tween the countries. The mutual interests of both countries require this compact, and I confess that I do not perceive any obstacle to the accomplishment of this most desirable object. I cannot but acknowledge, that England possesses at present but little information on South America, a region towards which - nature has been so liberal—l may say so prodigal, of her most precious gifts, where all the productions peculiar to tropical climates; and the greater part of those of the temperate climates of Europe, are to be met with in abundance ; but your Excel_ lency will permit me to assure you, that the British nation is not ignorant of the sacrifices that have been made by the people of Colombia, nor of tile valour and determination which has been manifested by the army of Colombia during the sanguinary and arduous conflict it has been engaged in to free itself from an oppressive state of slavery. 1 can confidently affirm, that the British people feel the most lively interest in the welfare and prosperity of Colombia ; and your Excellency will permit me to declare, that I participate in those generous feelings to the fullest extent. It is said, Sir, that France wishes to assist Spain to re-con quer these countries ; let not the people of Colombia entertain any apprehension of such an invasion, for in Great Britain it will find a firm and constant friend. I have the honour to pre sent a snuff-box to your Excellency, on the part of His Bri tannic Majesty, in testimony of his esteem. BOW-STREET--(Tuts DAY).

Yesterday Captain O'Callaghan was tried for an assault on the Rev. Mr. Saurin, son of the Bishop of Dromore. He was found guilty, and sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 201. The gallant officer is not, nor has he been, in the British service. It appeared on the trial that he lately had an engagement at one of the minor theatres. Preparations are going forward to enable his MAJESTY to prorogue the Parliament in person. The promising state of his MAJESTY'S health enables us to hope that he will carry into effect his intention of going in state to the House Q f Lords on the day of the Prorogation. Yesterday the Duchess of K r NT, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and the Princess l'couotty visited the Duke and Duchess of CLARENcE. HAYMA tuELT ThEATRL—We yesterday gave a list of the scenic Corps enlisted in the service of this Theatre, and several of the chiefs were last night called into action. The first piece was of light summer texture, called Come if You Can, of which we can only say that it evinced the zeal of the Manager. to treat the public with novelty. It was not very well re ceived. This dramatic Ephemera was fol-. lowed by the Opera of The Lord of the Ma nor, altogether well supported, and in which LlsToN's Moll Flaggon was conspicuously ludi crous. The last piece was the popular Farce of Fith out of Water, which, with the change - of WILLIAMS in the Ambassador, instead of Pott&, who was on service at Drury-Lane Theatre, went off with the applause of a very numerous audience, the type, probably, of a successful season.
