His Honour, tie Vice-Chancellor of England, was occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in this part heard case. (Before Vice-Chancellor Win AA M. ) BOWER V. COOPER. In this case his Honour delivered judgment. The specific performance of an agreement for the purchase of some pro perty was resisted by the defendant, the vendor, on four dis tinct grounds. First, it was alleged that the agreement upon th• face of it was uncertain, not purporting to be a sale of the fie• simple ; and, therefore, that it was uncer tain what interest the vendor meant to sell, and it was also alleged that by the terms of the agreement sufficient pre vision was not made for securing the payment of the considera tion for the sale, which was an annuity of 301. a year. On the first point, his Honour said he had feltno doubt at the time of the argument, that if A agreed to sell land to B, and B agreed to purchase for a gross sum, the import of the agree ment was, that the whole interest passed. He had been confirmed in that opinion by a reference to the authorities. On the second point, he would have no hesitation, if the vendor was ultimately compelled to complete the contract, in inserting a declaration in, the decree that he was entitled to the necessary provisions. The , second ground alleged against the agreement was weakness of mind on the part of the vendor. That point was not sug gestid by the pleadings, and the rule in that case was, that the evidence could not be received. It had indeed been held by Sir Thomas Plummer, that where evidence of that kind came out in the defence, the case might be sent for far ther inquiry ; but in the present case, there being nothing but an opinion as to the man's ii pacify, he could not alloy that as a ground if defence. Another ground which had been set up was intoxication ; but on looking at the evidence he had come to the conclusion that there was nothing at all to show that the vendor was intoxicated at the time of executing the agreement. The fourth ground set up by the defence was. the alleged inadequacy of the consideration. It was con tended for the defendant that the cottages included in the sale were worth eighteen or twenty years' purchase. If he were obliged, then, to decide the question he would say that the inadequacy was not proved ; but he thought as th• question was one of fact, the case might very properly be sent to an inquiry to ascertain what was the actual value. What he proposed, therefore, was to give the vendor a reference as to the value of the property, without prejudice to any queition in the cause. The case was ordered to stand over till Monday next, for the defendant to consider whether he would take the reference. 5 :r r- N . . No. 15,505.

Revolting outrages are of daily occurrence, and are said, by those who understand the causes, to be mainly owing to the system of "extermination," or "depopulation," which has been pursued there for many years--to quarrels between parties about the possession of land, and to the desperate poverty to which a large portion of the peasantry is reduced, as an inevi table consequence. The landlords there generally speaking, being the very worst of that bad class of Irishmen, and having no sympathy for the poorer description of the inhabitants, disturbaLces have already risen to such a pitch, that it is thought that Coercion Acts, proclamations, and arms will scarcely avail in checking the riots. The Catholic clergy are said to use every authority to quiet the people, but even their influence is without effect. The deadly animosity of the occu pier towards the proprietor of the soil renders a remedy almost hopeless.

The projectors of the present undertaking having effected the purcha se o f seven steam-packets, for some time past employed between Southampton and Havre, the Channel Islands, and "me of the ports on the southern c •ast of England, and the goodwill of their trade, on very advantageous terms, invite the Public to join them in the formation of an efficient Company to iherY on the exi s tin g b us i ness , an d to en l arge an d i mprove i t b y „ 4 1 1 iplication of further ca pit a l. tietore the construction of its railway, pier, and docks, South ampton was always a favourite port of passage. Assisted by t hese great adjuncts, there cannot remain a doubt that the trade of Southampton will in all future time be such as to af ford high r"muneration for capital judiciously employed in providing efficient steam-packets to run to and from that port. Several of the London and South-Western Railway Direc tors are or. the Provisional Committee of the projected Com pany. The most friendly disposition towards the intended Packet Company has also been secured at Havre, and with the Paris and Rouen Railway Company, and it is believed that there remains to be created a very large traffic of pas sengers and goods from the ports on the south-western coast of England,vihich, from the inadequacy of any provision hitherto made for it, remains almost wholly undeveloped. Application for the remaining :'hares may be made, until the 10th of May next, to, and prospectuses and further inform ation may be obtained from, Sir. I3ircham, solicitor, 15, Bed• ford-row, London. Among the eottars throughout Tipperary an undisguised enmity is manifesting itself against the payment of the poor rates. In the neighbourhood of Newport the rate-collector there cannot get in one farthing. The defaulters profess an open, an avowed contempt for summonses; they proclaim that they will not pay—that they will not be trade to pay—that no man dare distratn them—that if they be distrained no one eau buy their stock. To such a length has this hostility run, that notices have been posted in that locality, within the pre sent week, threatenin g an y one w i t h d eat h y who will pay the poor-rates.

The verdict of the Jury was for the plaintiff ; but it appeared that the defendant had been served with an informal notice to produce certain accounts ; and on this ground a rule had been obtained, calling on the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted. The COURT, after hearing the arguments on both sides, found that the notice had been insufficient, and the rule was therefore made ab:,olute. NATIONAL CONVENTION.

SECRETARY—Patrick Macintyre, Esq. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834, and the large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place. On the Ist of July, 1&41, the Company, at their General Meeting declared an addition of one-half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropriated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate 21. per Cent, per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the addition to a policy for 1,000/, in force for the previous 5 years, has been 1001., mak ing it in all 1,1001. The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one-half of them, when the Insurance is for life, need be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy ; the other half, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or paid off at convenience. By this arrangement it becomes easy for a person of moderate income to secure a provision for his family ; and the policy May be relinquished on the acquisition of a fortune, within the five years, the Assured having paid only one half the premiums, instead of the whole, according to the usual practice. Thus a person of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 281. 16s. :id. for the first five years, and afterwards of the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d., secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 144/. 13s. 3d., being the amount of premiums un paid. A person requiring a temporary advance of money may also, in terms of this arrangement, should he within five years relinquish the policy of Assurance by means of which he has obtained the advance, give it up on payment merely of one half of the Premiums instead of the whole, according to the usage of most other Offices. The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appears a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an in come, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a provision to his family.

IVICKEL INK ; or JOHNSTONE'S PER MANENT WRITING FLUID, under the patronage of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. W. PEACOCK (by appointment) sole Agent for the above incomparable Fluid, respectfully invites the attention of the commercial public, and the literary and fashionable circles, to some of the paramount properties of the Nickel Ink. It stands unrivalled for its clearness and facility in writing, free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and other commercial transactions, it pieseuts an important gua rantee, as it is indestructible (without injuring the surface of the paper) by any of the chemical agents which destroy the common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Schecles green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids. Sold by W.

I IIYNGER AND THEFT,—On Saturday six men were had up at the Old Bailey, Manchester, for stealing bread, but they were in such a wretched condition that the Magistrate found it necessary to admonish and discharge them. One of them named O'Leary said he had eaten one meal of potatoes on Sunday, and had been fasting Monday, Tuesday, and Wed nesday. On V ednesday kis child asked him for something to eat ; and having nothing to give him, he went to Mrs. Tegg's shop, and said to her, " Mistress, be so kind as to give me a loaf of bread." " No," said she, " I will give a piece." He said a piece was of no use to him and his hungry child, so he took a loaf. The police officer mat him at the door, and seized him. He refused to go with the officer, and, iu trying to get away, he ( O'Leary) fell over a woman, and broke his arm.— ( Aliridged from a Manchester Paper. ) A Committee has been formed, with the Duke de Coigny as President, for the erection of a monument to Cherubini.

Monday was the day fixed for the adjourned final exami nation of the bankrupt at the Court of Bankruptcy, who was formerly the Managing Director of the Marylebone Bank, from which it was admitted he had drawn no less than 17,0001. His accounts being very voluminous, and also very complicated, he was allowed a period of four months from the date of his last hearing to complete them. The case having been called on by the Registrar of the Court (Mr. Parray), it appeared that the bankrupt was not in at tendance, nor the solicitor to the fiat, nor the creditors' assignee. A solicitor, who attended fur the oankrupt, stated that ill he:.lth prevented his being in attendance, and he was unable to leave France, where he had been for some time past residing, in order to recruit it. The official assignee ( Mr. Graham) said that shortly after the last meeting the bankrupt went to France, taking with him, as he (Mr. Graham) believed, a considerable sum cf money. He had a few days since received a letter from Mr. Hannay, dated Treguier, Britanny, April 26, stating that ill health would prevent his attendance in Court, as it had al ready disabled him from preparing his accounts. Mr. Graham added, that the adjournment granted, in order to enable the bankrupt to make up his accounts, was considerably longer than was necessary, but yet up to this day he had rendered no accounts. Sir C. WILLIAms—IfIII r . Hann a y th us k ee p s a l oo f f rom hi s creditors, I shall certainly not sign his certificate. A Creditor—The certificate is of very little use to him, his object being not to furnish his accounts, Ivst a public exposure should await him. Sir C. WILLIAMS—I shall adjourn the hearing for three weeks; but let it be known to Mr. Hannay, that if he do nut appear to give every possible information to his creditors, another course * - if proceeding may bring him to his senses. It is the duty of the Court to protect the interest of the creditors, and I shall take care that in this eats that duty shall be per formed. [ADVERTISEMENT.] IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous ; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, litistol, and Derby ; and . ..hat consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de. mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior, water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is sur re pti t i ous l y palmed upon the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the :plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand fo r t h e i r Soda Water less constant on the continent and in oth er parts of the world. she:nected with the East respective agents ant i Colonies are cont i nua ll y climate s , a n ex re a s n s d r o e f in r g eceiving from gentle is the te s ti mony ta N rn l a e dn r Merchants sn Ines dn orders n i p dr p e eoeruesirvienndugmferneeerm l r o a u l afforded th em by t h e i r that p no other can equally well endure the variations of climate.

Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm.

HENRY COWPER.— June 22,1839.1' The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. A rather warm discussion took place between Mr. O'Connor and Mr. O'Brien, relative to certain charges made in the Northern Star by the former against the latter. Mr. O'BRIEN complained bitterly of the conduct of Mr. O'Connor, in denouncing him (Mr. O'Brien) as a " devil," and a " Whig adulator," classing him amongst those who were said to have attended the Conference in Birmingham for the purpose of partaking of the soup of Mr. Joseph Sturge.— (Loud laughter.) He (Mr. O'Brien) hud never spoken to Mr. Sturge in his life, much less visited his house for the pur pose of tasting his soup. All he (Mr. O'Brien) wished was to have an opportunity of answering the charges made against him in the Northern Star. Mr. O'CONNOR said that he had always taken an opportu nity of praising Mr. O'Brien wherever he went. He could as sure Mr. O'Brien that if there was one man in the world that he felt more love, more affection, and more admiration for than another, that man was Mr. O'Brien. He would therefore promise Mr. O'Brien that the columns of _he Northern Star should in future be open to any communication he might send, and lie (Mr. O'Connor) was ready to give hint (Mr. O'Brien) the right hand of friendship. Mr. O'Connor and Mr. O'Brien then shook hands very warmly across the table amidst loud cheering. Mr. O'BRIEN could assure the Convention that, however much he admired Mr. O'Connor, and admire him he did most highly, he did not feel that affection for him which he (Mr. O'Connor) had expressed for him (Mr. O'Brien. )—(Laugh ter. ) He was glad he should have an opportunity of defending himself in the Northern Star from the calumnies and slanders that had been heaped upon him in it. He hoped Mr. O'Connor would keep his promise, and then perhaps his (Mr. O'Brien's) admiration might ultimately ripen into that affection which he (Mr. O'Connor) had so warmly expressed for hint ( Mr. O'Brien.) Mr. O'Connor had a very smooth way of coming over people, but he hoped he would act just as he said he would, and not give him (Mr. O'Brien) any more of his smoothness; for perhaps he (Mr. O'Connor) didnot know it, but so smoothly had Mr. O'Connor written a letter to the Northern Star re specting Mr. O'Brien, that although it was couched in friendly language, still it would have the effect of causing hint (Mr. O'Brien) to be held up as an enemy to the people. He hoped that Mr. O'Connor would not give him any more of hissinooth ness.—( Laughter. ) After some further discussion, a resolution was passed binding the Convention not to make any charge against any indi vidual, until that individual had received duo notice, in order that he might have an opportunity of defending himself against the charge. Addre'sses were then agreed to, to the Queen and the Secre tary of State, praying far the liberation of all political offenders. The Convention then adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER RACES.

The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. SIR G. L. SKEFFINGTON V. BUDD AND SONS. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied their Lordships the whole morning. COURT OF CHANCERY, May 3. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. VISCOUNT CANTERBURY. This case came before the Court upon a demurrer put in to the Bill filed by Viscount Canterbury, the late Speaker of the House of Commons, claiming compensation for the loss he had sustained in consequence of the destruction of the Houses of Parliament by fire. The demurrer was filed by the law officers of the Crown, on the ground of want of equity, inasmuch as the Crown was not answerable for any loss or damage occasioned to any of its subjects by the carelessness of any of its ser mnts. The Attorney-General, Mr. H. Twiss, Mr. Waddington, and Mr. Wray appeared for the Crown ; and Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Wakefield, and Mr. Sergeant Man ning were counsel for Viscount Canterbury. The arguments, which had not concluded when we went to press, appear likely to occupy two or three days. We shall reserve a more lengthened report till the Lord Chancellor gives judgment. ROLLS' COURT, May 3. Lord LANGDALE disposed of several consent petitions in th course of the morning. The cause of Agaley v. Hartwell, which has already come so often before this Court, was then called on to be spoke to on the question of costs. His LORDSHIP having heard Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Tin ney on the points raised, decided on not hearing any further ar guments in the present state of the case, as the practice of the Court required that it should come before him on petition. Some other causes of a similar kind were set down in the paper to be spoke to, which were disposed of by his Lordship in like manner. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, May 3. IN RE ROBERT HASWELL. The insolvent, whose adjourned hearings were reported yes terday and several times previously in The Sun, appeared in Court, when Mr. Nictwu.s, who appeared in support of his petition, in formed the Learned Commissioners that an arrangement had been effected with Mr. Duncan, the opposing creditor (on the grounds of a verdict returned against the insolvent in an action for trespass), and that he (Mr. Duncan) had lodged a discharge in Court. The insolvent was then liberated. Several unopposed petitions were heard during the morning, and the applicants ordered to be discharged forthwith. Not the slightest features of general interest was elicited in any of hen►. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. S TREE?. A person was placed at the bar, charged with selling baoks f the German Opera within the railings of Covent-garden heatre. Mr. Schloss stated that he had an engagement with the lessee if the German Opera, crud he was authorised to translate the oeeras, and to sell thorn in the theatre. Several persons, of I whom the prisoner oas one, had procured other translations of the operas, and had intruded themselves within the iron railings, a.ery touch to his detriment. His object was to restrain these persons from selling within the railings. The prisoner, in defence, stat e d th a t tin part of the the a t re Lelonged to Mr. Schloss, and it was not for him, therefore, to charge any one with trospa.sing there. The fact was Mr. :Schloss was a printer and publisher ; he (the prisoner) was in el:e employ of a publisher also, and because he took out his nmpleye r ' s translation instead of that of Mr. Schloss, as he did formerly, the present charge had been made. He presumed that he had a perfect right to stand within the iron railings of the theatre. Mr JAUDINI: said within the railings was not a public tho roughfare. Ile should discharge the prisoner this time, but he would advise him sot to go there again, as it was in the power of the police to thrust him away whenever they found him there. Prisoner was then discharged. CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER. Sarah Thomas, who, it will be remembered, was charged on Monday last, with attempting to cut the throat of a little boy named John Wilks, and was remanded in consequence of the boy's inability to attend, was brought up to-day bcfure Mr. JAILDINE fur re-examination. She was very clean and neatly dressed, and looked much better than on a fermer ex amination. John Wilks examined-1 am twelve years of age, and live with my father and mother, at No. 10, Parker-street, Drury. lane. The prisoner lives in an adjoining room. On Satur day, the 23d of April. about half-past three o'clock, my mother was out, and the prisoner asked me to fetch her half a quartern of gin and a pint of beer, which I did. I soon aftewards went into my mother's room, who shortly after re turned home. The prisoner then called me, and asked me to mind her place for a minute, whilst she went out. I wont into her room for that purpose. She then told me to sit down, which I did; she locked the door and told use to pour out the gin. She was then drunk. I poured it out, arid she said " Drink it." I drank some and she drank some. She then said " Pull your handkerchief off, for fear the gin should choke you." 1 did so. She then gave me a halfpenny to buy some peas-pudding. I bought some peas-pudding, and asked her to have some, but she would not. She then got the bread butter out of the cupboard, and cut some fur me. As I was eating the last mouthful she called me to her. I went towards where she was sitting, when she laid hold of me by the shoulders, and cut me across the cheek with a razor. 1 shoved her towards the fire-place, in order to get away from her, and screamed out " Murder!" She again cut me across the throat. when some people burst into the room, and I was taken to a doctor's, and afterwards to King's College Hospital, where I have been till now. Sophia Wilks examined—l am the wife of John Wilks, who is a labouring man ; the last witness is my son, and we reside at No. 10, Parker-street. About half-past three o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d of April, I went home, after having been out nearly all day, and I found my child sit ting by the lire quite intoxicated. The prisoner, who was stupid with drink, came into the room, and asked me to let hini fetch her a pint of beer. I told her he should not go. I then lost sight of him, and about twenty minutes afterwards I beard him screaming in the prisoner's room. I ran up stairs, :and called to him to open the door; the door was opened, and when I got in, the prisoner had her left arm round his waist, and was flourishing a razor in her right hand. The child was bleeding very much. I fetched two docters imm e di a t e l y , one i of whom sewed up the wounds n his neck. I then took him in a cab to King's College Hospital. Charlotte Repuke examined—l am a single woman, and lodge with the last witness. About four o'clock on the 23d of last month, I heard the child call out, and I ran up with Mr. Wilks to the prisoner's room, where, when we arrived, I saw the prisoner with one arm round the child's waist, and hold ing a raver at his throat. Blood was pouring rapidly from his neck and throat. Prisoner did not say anything at the time. She appeared to have beets drinking. Mark Todd examined—l am a medical student and dresser at King's College Hospital. On Saturday, 23d April, Jahn N'ilks was brought to the Hospital, and I examined him. He bad a superficial wound two inches in length upon his throat, andia similar wound upon his cheek. Neither of them were of a dangerous character ; they appeared to have been effected by a sharp instrument. Police-constable It 43 produced the razor. He said that the priscr oy er . stated that she intended to murder some one, but not e This was all the evidence at present. Mr. Burnaby said that there was &pan present at the pre vious examination who heard the prisoner say that she would cut the little boy's throat ; but that man was not in the Court ROW. 111 r. JARDINE thought it necessary that this man should be present, and he accordingly remanded the prisoner till Friday next, for his attendance. I VORSHIP-STREET. The Magistrate was engaged the greater part of the morn ing in disposing of charges against begging vagrants, a shoal of whom were brought before him in the custody of Horaford and Rennie, the Mendicity officers. The major part of them were proved to he old offenders, and were committed for various terms to the House of Correction. UNION HALL. A mart named Wills, with his mouth cut, applied for a war rant aga'aist a person 'who assaulted him ma the preceding day. The applicant stated that he went, like many others, to wit ness tho Chartist procession on the previous day. As he stood in the 'Waterloo-road, viewing the people who were to form the procession, he ventured to make a remark that he thought they had better dispense with the " Cap of Liberty," which was carried by a man on a long pole. The moment he uttered the expression he was struck a violent blow on the mouth which loosened acme of his front teeth and filled his mouth with blood. The Magistrate said that it would have been much more prudent if the applicant had not interfered in the arrangements of the process ion. lie might take out a warrant. ELECTION COMMITTEES. PENRYN AL D FALIIIOuTIf. - CLOSE OF THE INQUIRY. The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. C. WOOD in he Chair. The AIRMAN called the attention of Counsel for th e peti tion to the deci s ion of the Ipswich Committee, that before the offer of a bribe could be proved the agency of the offence must be first proved. Mr. TALBOT said that he thought the point should be fur ther disc•assed, and begged to consult with Sergeant Wraghasu who was engaged elsewhere. , Mr. TALBOT, after some time e n t ere d t h e C omm i ttee-room, and said, after the intimation of the Committ ee an d t h e con sultation he had with Sergeant Wrangham, his Learned Friend and himself came to the resolution of advising the petitioner to withdraw. The room was then cleared, and the Committee came to the resolution that Captain Plumridge was duly elected for the Borough of Penryn and Falmouth. SOUTHAMPTON. The Cr Xmtnittee met at the usual hour, Mr. REnrsc.rox in the Chair. Several witnesses had been examined, but nothing of im portance was elicited. THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS WESTWARD. —There are many splendid squares and crescents being erected opposite Lord Holland's Pat k, on the Uxbridge-road. Shep herd's Bush will soon be joined to London. Kensington New Town, which is being built on the Earl of Harrington's pro perty, extending from Kensington to Old Brompton, came into the Harrington family through the late Countess, who was daughter and sole heiress of Sir John Flemming, of Brompton Park. Sir John left a rent-charge on this estate for the support of the almshouses which he founded in Cromwell-lane. There are several widows of life-guardsmen inmates of this charity. tiv - , , PISP , 2r :CE ed of he ~- ~~
