COURT OF CHANCERY, JANUARY 23 IN TEE MATTER OF SMITH• The LORD CHANCELLOR, our Readers. may remember, a few days ago expressed a doubt as to the positive power of the Vice-Chancellor to strike the name of a Solicitor off the list of Solicitors. Mr. HART brought his Lordships attention to the case of the individual Solicitor in whose regard the Vice-Chancellor exer cised this power. The LoaD.CHANcELLOR said it was a most important case, and one that he felt great difficulty in. An apPlication had been made to the Court of 'King's Bench to strike this gentlemanoffthe Roll of that COurt, and uponhearing it an order was made accord ingly. His Lordship.always understood that it was quite a matter of course, when an Attorney was struck off the Roll of one of the Courts of Westminster, that he should immediately be struck off in the other. That having been done in this instance, a petition was presented to the Viee-Chancellor to have him struck off the Roll of this Court, and his Honour did strike him off; but, on a recornideration of the case, he was of opinion. that he had no authority to make such an order; the consequence was, that Mr. Smith presented a petition praying his Lordship to confirm the Vice-Chancellor's order, discharging his former order, that he might immediately go to the King's Bench to tell that Court he had been re-admitted by this. Court. Now in. that Mr. Smith was in s mistake, for the case now stood as it was when it first came before the other branch of this Court. On the whole, his Lordship thought the best thing that. Mr. Smith could do would be, to try to get the Court of King's Bench to reconsider their order; the order was of a nature so serious, that his Lordship thought if the King's Bench had the least idea that any thing had been. misunderstood, they would not hesitate to reconsider it. Mr. HART made a few observations on the part of Mr. Smith, and concluded by saying, he would endeavour to find a precedent to enable this Court to interfere in case it could s2e that Mr. Smith ought to be re-admitted, and to make an order to that effect.

PRACTICE IN DEMUR HERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished to intimate, he had found there were demurrers standing in this Court for 2. 3,4, and 5 years, in which all matters in dispute Were king ago' entirely settled, still they were standing, to the ctloquy of this Court, which he thought exceedingly unjust. SIR GREGOP.Y P. TURN.P.R. Mr. HoTtNE asked_ permission, on the part ofthe Solicitor of Sir G. P. Turner, to present a petition to csliyass the Ending of the Jury in t.:e Commission .of-Lunacy ,appointed to ascertain whether the Hon. Bart. was a lunatic‘or.not. The 140RD' CRAWCELLOR tholli'ht that, the Solicitor laid acquiesced in the finding of the Jury. HORVE submitted, that Sir G. P. Turner dismissed that Solicitor and appointed another, on whose instruction he made the preSent motion. The I.:ono CHANC2L,Lc P. said he had no power to prevent the presentation of a petition t o tire Court, fie would say,-how ever. that the finding . of /he Jury appeared to, hial very satis factoiy. . ENDER v. 'HA riRIS. The SoLicyroß GEbrEaat. called his Lordship's attention to this ease, which stood fez ju:iqinent. It had been argued at 'length already, and it was 'very important that an early decision of his Lordship should be givitn, as tu the manlier in whith it shoUld be disposed of. The LORD CaAiictott. Was' of opinion that an issue should be directed, but had novniade up his mind as to the form which such issue should assume; The So L. ICITO R- . GENE R AL suggested a form whichdid not correspond with that on which th e opposite side was desirous -that the issue sizJuld be directed. The LORD C4ANCELLOR wished that thi, parties Would' Consult Out of Court as to -- 4,e fwm. of _J . = issue he should- di rect, and let the case be mentioned when such an agreenrent had been entered into. DAVID GARRICK v. THE EARL OF CAMDEN Mr. HAttT presented a pettiot , .. en the collateral part of this case. The nominal plaintiff?' in it was the celebrated actor of that name. The_ present petitioner was Mrs. Payne ; and the brayer - of tile petition was, .that 4,700 L, the resi due of the property of David Garrick, ahould be transfer red in the stocks from the name of 'Hugh Bally, in whose name it stood,. to Ole -possession of the petitioner. It appeared, that David Garrick at his death made his -property divisible into three - quantities. One-third of these.quantities . passed into the hands of •EL Baily, whose residuary legatee he ':vas. In last May an order was made that the fund should be trans ferred to Mr. Bally, and in Junefollowing an order for pay_ inert' was made by the - Master of the 'Rolls. The Learned Gentleman complained, that notice had not been gi,aen to 'the petitioner in orderto enable him to resist such order. Mr. PEPYS, on the part of Mr. gaily, opposed the petition. To shew that sufficient notice •had been given, he rmd pas sages, admitting, by the apposite side, that due notice had .been given of the proceedings intendedtO be adopted by Mr. Bally- Baily was - induced to make application on account of .several notices which .had beer. sent to .him for payment, as Mrs. Payne had assigned her part of the divisible quantities to several claimants for debt. 'Mr. Baily wished to have the Property secured, in order that it might be ascertained what claims were to be satisfied out of it. He animadverted severely en the conduct of the solicitor, who had matte an incorrect - statementof facts to the Counsel. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated to Mr. Hart, who was about to reply that he world bear further arguments in the cause on Monday. - h T GOURLAY v. DUKE or sozdEns . ET. The LORD CH AN CELLOR intimated his intention of post poning his judgment in this cause from to-morrow to Monday next- 'He was desirous of examining more minutely than he hit he-,-to had had time to do, the affidavits affirznatory of the Plans. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JAN . . Y 3.. Till: XING, oea THE PROSECZTION OF THE ItilHOP ,OF EXETER, " THE REAL JOHN BULL , " • 111 r. SCAuLETT moved for a rule to show cause whya crimi nal information should not be exhibited - against the printer and Proprietor of the The: Reel John. Bull, for a libellous Paragraph reflecting on theßishop of Exeter. It would be Proper that he shotild state. the circumstances out of which the groundleas potations on the. character of the Bishop arose. His shin received application from the parishioners of the p ar i s h of Noith in Devonshire, complaining of the nori_resi • dence of . the incumbent. He accordingly took measures for Prevailing on the Rev. Oen - dem - an to return to his cure, but without success. While these - m easures werepending,, he re -anonymous letter in a female hand t and a ft er ward s a woman ita l i ntroded herself into Ilia presence, and made' certain e r ih° t i d statements l r espect i n g the cond uct o f t h e rector. Th e Bi s h op, in consequen ce o f the information thus obtained, thought it n ecessary to ma k e inquiries ;-.and, in the result, thought it right to institute proceedin gs i n t h e E cc l es i astica l C ourt, to deprive the incumbent of his benefice, which terminated in a sentence of deprivation. At this time the lihel in question appeared under the head "• The Bishop of Exeter." Th e Learned C o u nse l then rea d the libel, which imputed to the Bishop thate - he had been indueed to prosecute by a strump e t, who was seen hanging o o his arm at the last visitation of his JUdgrner ton his came.

TATTERSALL. Mr. GuRNEY moved for a rule to shaiv cause why the ver dict for the plaintiff in this cause shonld not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. This was an action against Messrs. Tat ! terealls, the well-known horse-dealers, for' money had and re ceived to the plaintiff's use. 'The plaintiff' and purchased a horse belonging to Prince Esterhazy at the defendants auction, for seventy-one guineas, without a warranty ; but sought to recover back the money-on the, ground that the contract was vitiated by fraud. The fraud suggested was—first, that the coachman of Prince Esterhazy, who showed the horse on the pre misesof the defendants, represented that he had never been lame. " though the Prince was a than who did not spare his horses whereas the animal appeared lame immediately after delivery; and second, that the plaintiff had been induced to bid by the expectation of being able to. purchase another horse, adapted peculiarly to be &wen with the horse in question, but wnich was never intended for sale. It was proved that before the sale, an advertisement appeared in The Times newspapers, announcing for sale at-Messrs. Tattersall's four horses, the property of a nobleman, and describing two .of them called " Iligliflyer" and • ` Lofty," as an excellent pair of florets for, a carriage, and remarkable for spirit, and• the brilliancy of their action. It did not appear by whom this adver tisement was inserted ; the clerk of the defendant po s itiy e ly• swore that .it • was .not inserted by :them ; but When the • servant asked. at Tatteesall's for the horse advertised, he was shewn the two which appeared to =respond with the de scription. At the sale one of the horses was first put up, and the plaintiff became the purchaser at 71 guineas. The other horse was then put up, and• the plaintiff', anxious to have the pair, bade 176 guineas, but found himself unexpectedly.op posed, and the horse_ was beught in at 2001. It appeared that the money was rot paid over to Prince Esterhazy for three days, before the expiration of which a demand was made, and that he indemnified the defendants. The Lord Chief dostice.then thoughtthat the representations of the coachman on the premises of the defendants bound, them, if they -per mitted him to be thefe ; and that,they were also bound by .the advertisement, as the allusion to it had been recognized by their • servant. He.accordingly left the-July. to say, whether they thotight the sale to be bona fide, or conducted with deceit ; on which direction the Jury found for the plaintiff: "Mr. Gurney now moved. to set asside this verdict, on the ground that - the. advertisement ought not to have) een• received in evidence, and that there was no proof of fraud. The COURT granted a rule, in the alternative for a nonsuit or a new trial. CORONER'S iiiQU EST.—On . Thursday, the 22d instant, an inquest was -.held in the rules of the King's Bench Prison, before PETER LE IPLE, Esq. of the Crown-office, on the, body of Thomas Wood, Esq., who, it.appeared froM the evidence, had for some time been labouring under a dropsy. was attended hy Mr. Cpulthred, of. the Bo rough-road, and. Mr. Phillips,. of Oxford-street, surgeons, who deemed it proper to perform the operation of tapping, which was accordingly dope; but it. was of little service, as:the deceased died a few days after, in the 78th. year of his age. ,:The Jury returned, a verdict" Died a Natural Death." 1. N D I A. sUSPENSrON BP.rDOES. • [From i'.vrxdra.7 Courier, Aug. 26, 1333.1 THE NEW SUSPENSIO:f I.3art)Gi..--1t is pro posed to erect the New Suc.pcnsi,un. 13ridge immediately to the eastward of the present one, without interfering in any ma terial degree with the passsage across the latter, whis4 need not thf.refcre be removed until the former is completed.. Th ., : readways„leading up to the new bridge will be formed partly with earth taken Gut of the Nulls:1, and partly with the earth of the present roadways. The site of the r:sw bridge, being the same as that of the • priginal pticka bridge, the roadways -on each side, and the di rection of the bridge will be nearly in a straight line, and the present awkward winding approach oa the southern side Will be avoided. The distance between tbie points of suspension of the new proposed bridge will he 120 feet ; this admits of a Clear water way 90 feet broad at high water, and 86' feet at low water ; which appears ample for the passage of boats underneath the bridge. The height of the roadway will be the same as that of the present bridge. The depth of water under. the bridge may be increased with out incurring any risk of danger to the foundation of the piers, froth - three feet, the present depth, - to seven feet. The breadth of the roadway will be increased from 19 to 82 feet, which is one foot broader than the Allypoor bridge,; and which it is presumed will be found sufficient, more particularly when the additional bridge now in contemplation at the mouth of the Nullah shall be completed. The roadway of the new bridge will be planked in the same manner as the Bally-ghant bridge ; ever the planking a layer oficoath four inches thick, will be laid on the bridge, may be paved with bricks placed edge-wise in the same manner as in some parts of the Barrackpoor road, which appears fully to an slier. The roadway of the bridge will thus be in all respects the same as any other pucka road. And as a degree of tension Will be given to the chains, sufficient to provide against any undulatory motion.,—there can be no reasonable apprehension that cattle will be alarmed in crossi ng over. It will be observed, that the chains which sustain the bridge fall below the rail-way as they approach the ,centre. The object of this arrangement, which is different from that of the Kally e ghaut Bridge, is to diminiSh the height of the supporting piers, and thus render them more capable of with standing the continued shake o f t h e chains at the point of sus-. pension; High piers or pillars of brickmasonary, except they are made exceedingly massy which would inconveniently con tract the entrance to the bridge, would be liable to injury from this cause. The supporting piers are 12 feet hi g h f r o m th e foot to*the upper chem. - The chains rest upon iron beds, built into the-masonry of the pier. The inner side of the pier is faced with stone, strongly clamped together. The intention of facing the inner side of the piers with stone, is to support mo re firmly the chains, which are brought close to the inner side, in older to give as great aAvidth to the approach as possible. In deed, it would be advisable, to build the piers , entirely of stone. The difference of expence would not exceed 1 ,500 rupees. It is proposed to suspend the roadway from twelve chains, ranged in piers.

It is the opinion of several officers, engineers, and others, who have passed over the bridge where it now stands, that it is quite equal to the weight of a field-piece with its car riage, &c. _ We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter from an experienced officer, from which we are permitted to quote the following very interesting passages:— " I reached the Berai Nullah about 11 A.M . ., 19th July, when the torrent was rushing down with great violen ce , so an to preclude the possibility of crossing it by boats, or rafts of any description. It of course obtained a secure paisage across this dangerous stream over the Rope Bridge. " The appearance of the bridge is very beautiful, being sur rounded with trees and jungle, and I was surprised to find that notwithstanding so many thousand people and cattle having crossed it, that the centre of the bridge is still higher than the approach at either side; and the treadway appears to form a segment of an eclipse. " The bridge appears very strong and solid, and there is little motion perceivable when crossing it; it is raised very consider ably, above the surface of the water, which is a judicious ar rangement as was evident to me; for when standing- on the centre of the bridge looking at the torrent rolling beneath me, a large tree which appeared to have been torn from its roots was seen floating down the stream and rolled very majestically be neath the bridge. " The Bridge appears in every way most perfectly to answer the purpose for which it was intended, and by being adopted would be a source of the greatest convenience, safety and com fort. to every traveller whose destination might lead him across the numerous hill torrents on the road to Benares, as well as on many other routes throughout India." An official report of the Ist instant, which we have seen from the Gentleman in charge of the Bridge, says— " Since my last report regarding the Bridge, we have had. the Berai Nullah full for days together, and much higher than usual;, still nothing has happened to injure the Bridge. Trees of enormous size, with all their branches, have, been brought down by the torrent, which have passed under the h.x. id ge with .out the slightest accident ;—in a word, expectatian must now be fully realized, as. we shall not have the Nullah higher than it has been ; but if we had, 1 should not in the least be afraid of any accident whatever."_ To - the foregoing s•Atisractory encomiums on the practical stability and simplicity of this very ingenious bridge, we have to add that it was transported to its present position on a few common hackeries, and set up at once with case and dispatch by the native carpenter who had constructed the wood-work, accompanied by a few Callassies, and the model. It has neither pier -head nor abutment, and the general sec tion of the Nullah has been taken : The span of the arch is 160 feet clear, by 9) wide—which' dimensions it is said exceed those of the Kelly Obaut iroa chain-bridge,,by 20 feet in length and one in width. The main transom rollers, cr points of. sus pensions • which connect with the" setting-up power, are only raised 6 feet from the ground. The four lightpiles connect.d with them .rise about 20 feet; to these friction sheaves are morticed outside for. the radiating guys springing.from each grade'of the rope-strands, Whereby the roadway is; ept in equilibrio. The whole weight in suspension is somewhere about 6,000 lbs. GY E E C, E. TO TIM Klijyo7l. OF THE L.TVEAPOOL, Sri .• • hiving beee suggested to rn e e, -roe, of the leading public melt of this town, npoe • whom I did Myself the honour of 'waiting scion after my arrival here, that those gentlemen syhe were most likely to sympathize with the suffer iir Greeks, ilitive!rpool, would require some previous information as to the actual state or Greece, the twitory occupied by the armed pe pulation, and the means they possess of retainien what has beet: achieved, - 1 feel great pleasure in availing myself of thtabove suggestion ; and at/preheat iffita it captiot be done more effectual ly than through the medium of your colinnas.— According to ttie lateSt accounts from the seat Gr war, the Greeks were in possession of the Morrni, Livadia, Salocka,Messolunghi, and Agraphe, te gether with ileveral other military posts in Epi7ll , :: also of the•mountaiuma districts of Tricala ac,! Valos, in• Thessaly. To the foregoing Rosser:- siotis on the continent may be added the follow ing islands of the .Archipelago SernoE, •Serpho, Nicaria, Skyro, Ipsara, Hydra, Spezzia, Milo, Nexia, Zea, 'lino, MycoaoS, And'ro, Patmos, and several other of smaller note. As have already had ocation to observe, there are only a few isolated points held by the Turks, such as Patras, Coron, and MOdon, in the Morea, (the Acro,Corinthos having lately ca pitulated ;) the Castle of Carysto, in Negro pont ; and of Canea and Retymo, in Candid. The number of Turkish troops shut up in these places are estimated at at..out 11,000 men.— The recent defeat of a large division of tl - ,e Turkish fleet, in the Gulph of Volos, is known to your readers; but they are'cot, perhaps aware, that a Greek squadron, on board of which Prime. Mavrocordato was lately proceeding to the relief of Messolunghi, encountered the Algerine fleet in the wat ers o f Patras, ands arter a' sever e ac tie r , succeeded in capturing and destroying- ten sail o'' their best s hip s . It i s confidently rep orte d t h at there was a frigate among the former. N O , ,„ 01 „ did the news of this defeat reach O uier who was preparing to attack Messoltinghi with !, large force, collected near that place subee quent to the heroic strut m a d e by Mar;co..faotzaris ao6 his brave folloWers, then he fled in rat precipi tation; leaving the Greeks - masters of the exten sive and fertile plains of Acarnania and Etol;d. The presence of Mavraceordato being thus ren dered unnecessary, he was enabled to turn aP his attention to Patras, which is invested on the land side by the General-in-Chief Colocotroni, with a body of ten thousand men. And, non that there is no probability of the enemy be ing able to make another naval or militai v effort for somemonths, the friends of Greece may indulge a reasonable hope, that this 'highly important place will soon be reduted. two other celebrated chiefs of the confederation, Nikitas and Odyseus, are-at the head of large divisions, in Livadia. The first named is occu. pied in watching the, remnants of several enemy's corps; which, after having escaped with their lives, took refuge in Larissa,' while Odyseus. iS 'prepar ing to march into Negropont, for the purpose of investing Carysto. Such is the present state of the struggling Greeks. It is, of course, needles , : to add, that their means of'retaining advantage!, gained under difficulties and dangers, which have persuaded so many that there is a special pros - dence working forthem, must-, of course, depend on the success of these appeals made in their be half to the Christian world.
