Mr. Judge was anxious to con vince the Court that he had obtained the etchings by no corrupt or improper means. As to publishing or exhibiting; the engravings, his client did not in tend to do So, and, therefore, he had no objec tion to that, part of the decree. He did not object to being prevented from disposing of the engraving. or etchings. Neither did he object to being prevented from publishing the catalogue in its present form ; that was, that it - was pub lished under authority, but he submitted that he • was _ entitled to retain possession of the etchings, and what he desired was to have the opinion of a jury whether the etchings he had were his pro perty or that of the plaintiffs. He also contended that ho was not bound to deliver up the catalogue he had and that he was not precluded from publishing it if he left out the insignia that he published it by authority. The. Learned Gentlemen then proceeded to read evidence to show that Judge had not improperly or unwarrantably obtained the etchings, that he had bought them from a man named Middleton, in Mr. Brown's employ for 51., as spoiled or dirty copies. The Learned Gentleman had not concluded his argu ments when the Court rose. CONTRACT FOR COALS. ROYAL HOSPITAT, CHELSEA, Met 24, 1849.

As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when tallpli in water, tea, beer, wine, Scz. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder.

Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughoLt, . . the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppress!. n after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi- - eines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property.

I A G E. in One half the world aro desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em 'eltter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eceeprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, an 4 broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happinvs and Foetal content. The dowry should not bo the only marriage set tlement. Honour andjustice demand that health shouldform an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the allicuce. Blighted hopes or aealect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Livx►;rooa, JUNE I.—Our supplies from Ireland and coast wise, since Tuesday, have been again trifling, and from foreign ports we have received only limited quantities of wheat, Indian corn, and flour. With the exception of 11,462 qua►ters of Indian corn and 3,212 barrels of flour, the exports in the same time have been unimportant. Notwithstanding the small ar rivals, Indian corn has not been in so brisk demand, and Fri day's prices were barely supported. In other articles tl crc has been little doing, and no new feature worthy of remark has occurred. The weather has been fine, with occasional showers, and ail accounts agree as to the general satisfactory appear ance of the growing crops. At this day's market the attend ance of the country dealers was unusually small, and, in the few transactions reported in wheat and flour, buyers had slightly the advantage. Oats were quite neglected. Oatmeal, with a slow sale, was 3d to 6d per load lower. In barley, beans, and peas, there was little doing, and no change in value to report. Only a limited inquiry was experienctd for Indian corn, and 37s per quarter must be quoted the top price of prime yellow. NVA BURY, NAY 31 : —The supply of wh ea t to-day i s a fair a.v,Fas , e, . and although ; Ugric:lane is reported as rather improv ed:through the exceedingly depressed state of the flour markets; it had no effect upon our trade, and we have the same lifeless demand as last week; at unaltered rates. Barley but little in offer, with scarcely any demand, at late rates. Beans, oats, anal peas, short supply, and the prices of last week wer4 fully supported.

Exnva, JUNE I.—Cattle—The market to day has been very laa•ge, especially of beasts, of which more have been driven than on any market day for a long period previous. A more gratifying fact is, that there was a large attendance of dealers, many from a distance, by which means a good clear ance was effected at improved prices. Fat beef, especially, went off briskly, the best articles selling freely at 8s 6d and up to Os peri score. Cows and 'calves were rather an exception, the deaiaz d being sluggish ; prices ranged from 6/ to 131. The Guerns'eks mentioned in our 'last were again drive n in, but they did fmot meet with much favour, although a fair lot and well seas aped in calf, the prices were thought too high (101 to 121 each e,, and at a late hour most of them remained unsold. Barrener s, although there Were many in the market, sold at bet'er rates than lately, genie of the best fresh ones making 63 per score, and the quotation ranging from 43 to the lat ter figur ea A few working oxen were sold at from 251 to 281 per pair. Steers were more numerous, and sold at 12! to' 24/ per pair. Several lots of North Devon yearlings were driven in, nearly 'all of Which were sold at 31 lOs to 41 ea eh. The supply of rearing calves from Dorset shire, was again very large, : and sold readily at 35; to 45s each. Butchers calves were 4id to did per lb. There was a good supply of sheep, fat a wethers in their. wool sold at 5d per lb, shorn ditto were worth full 50; ewes in their wool :4 and 50, shorn ditto, 41d; fat lambs, 6d'to 61'3'; store" hog's, 25s to 30s each ; couples, 40s to 425 . each. Corn Exchange—Not much business " has leser. done to day, the7arnillers acting with great—c—saafini,ltnar the growers generally- holding very firm. For warranted samples of Eng lish whr;at, from Gs 3d to 6s 6d has been given, and even this latter pi ice has been refused by the holders in several instances. The for eig-n wheat on offer was principally French ; 433 to 4is per qr w as asked for red, and 48s to 50s for white (601bs to the bushel). 'Barley, 3s 6d to 4s ; oats, 3s 6d to 2s 101 per bushel.

VICE CHANCERY COURT, June 1. (Before Vice Chancellor KNIGHT BaucE•) THE ROYAL ETCHINGS. PRINCE ALBERT V. STRANGE —THE ATTDRNEY GENERAL V. STRANGE. This cause and information stood on the paper to day fox hearing. On their being called on, 'The S O LICITOR-GENERA L said that the ease came before the Court upon a cause and information, which it would be unnecessary for him to open in detail. The Court would doubtless recollect the facts of the case as they were detailed before it upon two motions, in which the Court granted injunctions which were afterwards affirmed by the Lord Chancellor upon appeal. The cause now came on for hearing, and all ho proposed to ask the Court to do was to grant a perpetual injunction against ell the defendants to the effect of the temporary injunction that had already been granted u p on t h e hearing of the motions, and also to ask for the d e li ver y up of the cata logues for the purpose of h av i ng t h e m destro) ed, and also the delivery up of the etchings for a similar purpose by the defendant Judge. The title of the plaintiffs was shown by the admission in the answer of the defendants to the etchings and en gravings, and the fact was also proved that the etchings had been improperly obtained. Ile apprehended that it would not be proper on his part to go into the facts of the case in detail, until he knew what course his Learned Friends, who appeared for the defendant, intended to pursue. With respect to the costs, Mr. Judge had thought fit, since, the hearing of the motion to obtain an order to allow him to defend in forml pauperis, so tb ea wit's respect to him he could only ask for the costs ale to the date of that order. As to Mr. Strange, he was inclined to think Ibe might have been misled by th e representations tha t had been made to him, and he should not th erefore be disposed to ask for a hostile decree with respect to costs against him, though ho felt bound to call the atten tion of the Court to the fact that en the hearing of the motion it was offered that all proceedings should be stayed upon the defendant's giving up the etchings and engravings. Mr. J. RUSSELL stated that he appeared for Mr. Strange, and considering the liberal way in which it was proposed to take the decree against him ho should certainly be inclined to advise him to accept it, but if neither Mr. Strange or his solicitor were present, perhaps the Solicitor-General would allow the matter to stand over till he had consulted with him. He should certainly advise Mr. Strange to take the decree, but he had then no instructions upon the subject. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was Willing to adopt that course, but it must be understood there was no com promise.. SMITH appeared for the defendant Judge, and lir.s to some part of the decree proposed he had great objec tions. He objected to that part with respect to the de livery up of the etchings, and also with respect to the costs. Under these circumstances, he thought it would bo better for the Solicitor-General to read the evidence, and go into the case in the regular way. Mr. Judge, however, did not intend to go on with the exhi bitions, and, therefore, he did not object to that part of the decree. .The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was willing to adopt that course. The Learned G entleman the n went into a this the L b or r d anc C h hancellor. The statement of the facts of the case, the wh ole of which we gave in detail both on t he occasion of the injunction b n ei d n g also of the Court a Learned Gentleman conclu ded b y askin g for the decree app th li e ed before stated. appealfor to t 0 Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was proceeding to read the evidence, when Mr. J. RUSSELL stated tha t Mr. Stran ge's son was now in court, and he bad authori sed hi m to state that his father would consent most w illin g l y t o the decree that the Illustrious Plaintiff sug gested, con s id er i ng t h at t h e offer was a most liberal one. Mr. WARREN, who was also counsel for Mr. Strange, observed that the words used by his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General, with respect to Mr. Strange, that he might have been misled, was extremely handsome and generous on the part of the Crown. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then proceeded to road the evidence. Mr. S. SMITE objected to the reading of it, on the ground that it was not entitled in the proper suit, The VICE-CHANCELLOR overruled the objection. Mr. Sergeant TALFOORD then continued to read the evidence, and alto the answer cf Judge, which was not filed when the motion for the injunction was made. In that answer Judge admitted that he had obtained the impressions from a workman of Mr. Brown's, who sold them to him as spoiled or dirty impressions. Mr. S. SMITH then proceeded to address the Court on behalf of Judge. His client had no wish to shelter him self under auything except the bare facts of the ease. He was sorry that his Learned Friend the Solicitor- Gmerol had pugged a different course towards his INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT, June 1. (Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.) IN RE HENRY HjIIRCHIER. The insolvent, a Rear-Admiral in the Royal Navy, came up for his discharge. Mr. Nicholls and Mr. Dowse supported, Mr. Cooke and Mr. Hughes opposed. This was the third appearance of the insolvent in this Court. Qn the last occasion, in April, 1846, when his income was 2001. per year, the Court ordered a sum of 401. per year to be set apart for the purpose of liquidat ing his debts. On the present occasion his debts, con tracted since that period, exceed 1,400/. After some investigation, of no public interest, Mr. Cooke applied that the suss of 196/. might be now set Sparc for the l'quidation of these debts. Since 1846 the Admiral had attained to higher rank, and his net income was now 3961. per annum. The Learned COMMISSIOICER asked the insolvent whe ther he was willing to accede to the proposal? The insolvent replied that he would remain in prison all his life first; it wcu!d be impossible for him to live. Ile was willing to give up 251. per year. Mr. NICHOLLS examined the insolvent, rho stated that Mrs. Bourchier was in a state of ill health, that required much medical aid. He was also under a lia bility to support his son until he should obtain a com mi,sion. The Learned Counsel then submitted that - the application of the creditors was not a reasonable one. The station in life of the admiral was such as to require a c ,rresponding income, and the small sum of 2001. per }ear would be wholly inadequate. If it were assented to, the consequence must be, that the Admiral woul I again be under the necessity of coming to this Court at the cost of other creditors. He doubted also whether, if it were assented to, the Admiralty would allow the order to be acted upon. Mr. COOKE submitted that the insolvent's creditors had higher claims upon him than his station. His schedule eholved that he had been living a life of luxury and extravagance at their expense. If they failed to pay for the goods which they had trusted him with, they would be thrown into prison, and be left with no income of 2001: per year for their future support. The insolvent being again appealed to by the Court, said he had no further effer to make, but he was willing to consent to set apart any sum that the Commissioner considered the circumstances of the case required. His Ho:court said that the duty thus imposed upon him was a very unpleasant one; and after commenting upon the circumstances, said he would leave the Court fur five minutes, in order to give the insolvent an oppor tunity to consider the propriety of making a different proposal. On his return the insolvent said ho would set apart GU per year. Mr. COOKE said that had the offer been double that sum, he might have ventured to say that the creditors would have been liberal and considerate, and have ac cepted it. llis Hosona said that the most graceful thing a man of station ur rank could at all times, and tinder all cir circumstances do, was to pay his debts, and, if neces sary practice self deLial. The opinion of the world, whether a man maintained an appearance or not in ac cordance with his rerils,4ae, after all, of but little value in comparison with that; and it it were not so, ho be- - Hew:el that a man should at all times show that be was desirous of doing all that lay in his power to discharge his obligations. In the absence of that offer having been made, he should order the insolvent to be discharged, on enterieg into an undertaking to set apart 1001. per year in liquidation of his debts. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. • MANSION-HOUSE. Catherine Bwmcster, who was stated to be the wife of a respectable man, was brought before Alderman Wil son upon suspicion of having assisted, in robbing Thomas Morten, a poor fellow who had just arrived in London for the purpose of going out in an emigrant ship, of 14 sovereigns. The complainant, it appeared, from the very confused and complicated account given of the affair, had arrived at London-bridge by a steamer from Yarmouth, on Monday morning, and employed a porter, who lived with the prisoner, to take his luggage to the London Docks. from which the emigrant ship in which he was to sail was to receive passengers. The luggage was accord ingly deposited at the appointed place, and the com plainant went, upon the invitation of the porter, to dine at the prisoner's house, whi.re he was gratified with large potations of gin and other liquors, and became so much intoxicated, or stupified, as to be wholly incapable of taking care of his money or himself, and after having cabbed about with the prisoner and two men who were known to her, he finally found himself drenched with rain lying in the street, and stripped of every farthing. Alderman WILSON pursued the investigation with the most scrupulous care, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the complainant had not been drugged into the incapability which he endeavoured to describe, but it was quite evident that the unfortunate fellow had "gone the whole hog" in drink, and had tried the strength of his stomach with brandy and beer, as, well as giu. The prisoner had been in and out of the cab with him more than once while her friends were on the box, and at last she left him altogether ' but how or where he was deprived of his property he could give no account whatever. T ticket-porter stated that he saw the complainant on board the Yarmouth vessel upon her arrival, and asked him ehethcr he wished to have his luggage conveyed to any plixe; to which he replied that he should employ any person he fancied to do that job for him, at the same time rejecting the caution given to him as to the necessity of selecting a responsible porter. Witness then went away, leaving the complainant with the porter whom he engaged to perform the work, and who was a mere jobber about Thames-street, without a licens . e. Many complaints were made by ignorant strangers of the difficulties in which they were placed by hiring men of this description to take care of their pro perty or of themselves. The complainant, in answer to the inquiries of Alder man WiLsesT, said he had a wife and five children in Yarmouth, for whom it was his intention to send when he should have earned as much abroad as would pay for their passage; and he had put together with yea Pains and with the assistance of his friends, the 14 sovereigns of which he had beta robbed, to clear the way, by im mediate emigration, for the support of his family. The prisoner said she had endeavoured, at her house as well as elsewhere, to prevent the complainant from drinking, but he was not to be denied; and he nut only finished a bottle of brandy which he had brought ashore, but he stowed away gin without measure. She ad mitted that she bad got into the cab with him, but then her object was to see him safe to the London Docks, where he was to take ship, and finding that he was not disposed to go there, she quitted him; after which she knew not what became of him. It was unfortunate for her that she had received him into her house at all; for when she met the porter who had been employed by him she was treated with a sound drubbing for having left him, and the consequence was that the man who threshed her was taken into custody by a policeman, conveyed before a magistrate at the other side of the water, and sentenced to imprisonment in Horsemonger lano Gaol, although she expressed her unwillingness to bring any charge. Alderman WILSON asked the complainant whether he had been in London before? and, having learned that he was by no means a stranger to the great metropolis or the tricks practised in it, told him that the party principally to blame was himself, who had intrusted his goods to a person upon whom he knew there was no check, and had indulged in drink at the very time there was most need for the exercise of abstemiousness. It was to he regretted that the power of resorting to the chances thus which emigration held out was defeated ; but all that a magistrate could do in such a case was to advise the unfortunate man to return to Yarmouth, and work until he should raise 141. more; and then try his fortune abroad, benefited by the lesson derived from his present calamity. The Complainant—l have not one farthing in the world. Alderman Wl:um—You shall have the means of re deeming ycur goods from the decks and returning home; and I hope this will operate as a warning to other emi grants to take care what unlicensed porters they employ. The prisoner was then discharged. MARLBOROUGLI-ST .REET.
