Religious Houses had been left out of parishes, but they had no certain account-bow they were so dealt with. They could only say, that where a place had been extra-parochial from time to tune, it remained so. The Learned Judge adverted to the evidence on both sides, and observed that the evidence of perambulation was of some weight for the defendant, but it was remarkable that the parish bad gained nothing. The perambulation did not enable them to enlince the payment of church and poor-rates. One of the Jurors asked whether they were not bound to infer that Lincoln's Inn must belong to sonic parish ? The JUDGE Said, they were not bound by law to draw that inference. The same Jutor then asked whether the appeal to the Sese sions•respecting . the names returned for the Militia must be considered decisive? The .1t; ma , : said it was decisive. The J dry then found a verdict for the defendant. The verdict appeared to give great satisfaction to those con cerned in the parish ; outside the doors there was a clapping of hands. • . DECEMBER 9, 1824. INUNDATIONS in GERMANY.—The COMMITTEE for the RELIEF of the SUFFERERS by the recent INUNDATIONS , in GERMANY, extending Over the Countries of Baden and Wurtemberg, the Rhenish Provinces of Hesse and Bavaria, and the Kingdom of Hano- Yer, venture to appeal to the British Public in behalf of more than FIFTY THOUSAND unfortunate Fellow-creatures, whose Habitations have been swept away by thi s c alamit y , and Who at this inclement season, are wandering about withou t shelter, without clothing, and without food; The utmost exertions are indeed making by the Benevolent of their own Country for the Relief of the Sufferers ; but so extensive is the misery, and so complete the devastation, that these efforts alone would effect but little towards diminishing the general mass of distress. The Committee therefore trust, that in this txlgeuce the wonted Benevolence of the British Nation, which zwaa neves ysolicited in vain, will be extended to the many thousands of perishing human beings whose cause they here presume to advocate.--The Committee have the pleasure to state, that they have already been enabled to remit 14001. The Committee meet on Mondays and Thursdays, at One o'Clock, at the Baltic Coffee-house, Threadneedle-street. Bridgewater Arms, Manchester, Dec. 1, 182.1. HIGH PEAK STEAM RAILWAY, From the Cromford Canal to the Peak Forest Canal, in the County of Derby. Al a General Meeting of the Committee and Supporters of this Undertaking, held at the time and place above-mentioned, in pursuance of a Requisition for this purpose, THOMAS BATEMAN, ESQ., in the Chair, —The various Resolutions previously entered into , and several Communications and Letters to the Committee having been stated and read, and the Plan and Survey of the projected Line of the Railway, and Mr. Jessep's second Report and Estimate having been also read and submitted to the Meeting ; It was Resolved,—That the Meeting receives with .the greatest satisfaction the communication that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire consents to the Railway being made through his Grace's Estates, arid most liberally without requiring any re muneration for his Land. Resolved,—That from the very clear view taken by Mr. Jessop, of the advantages to be derived from the proposed mea sure, and the satisfactory explanations given in his Report as to the facility and economy of conveyance by Rail wayA, the Meet.: ing Is fully convinced that the proposed Railway will be deci dedly the best mode of communication between the two Canals, and productive of advantages not to be attained by any other means, and therefore strongly recommend the scheme to the support of the public. It appearing from the estimate that the sum of 130,000/. is necessary to complete the Railway, and a further stmt of 20,000/. for Steam Engines, and that about 70,000/. is already subscribed in Shares of 1001. by the Noblemen, Gentlemen and Landowners in the immediate neighbourhood of the. proposed Railway ; Resolved,—That the Subscription be now open to the public in general, and that Subscriptions be received at the Bunking. house of Sir Peter Pole, Bart. and Co., Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., and Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, in London; and at the several Banks in Liverpool, Manchester, firming ham, 'Macclesfield, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Stamford, and Lincoln ; and that the respectable Bankers he requested to receive Subscriptions on the account of Messrs. Arkwrigbt, Toplis, and Co., of Wirksworth, Derbyshire, the Tr e a surers to the Undertaking;' and that Subscribers do at the rime of enter, ing their names, in pursuance of a former Resolution, pay the sum of one pound per cent. on the amount of their 'Sub scriptions. Resolved,—That publicity be given to these Resolutions by insertion in such of the Public .Journals as the Committee may deem necessary; and that Mr. Jessop's second Report be printed for circulation. That this Meeting be adjourned to Thursday the 6th Janu. ary next, at the Old Bath, Matlock , at eleven o'clock in the , forenoon. (Signed) THOS. lIATENIAN, Chairman. The thanks of the Meeting were given to the Chairman,, for his efficient conduct in the Chair. N.B.—That since the Meeting the further sum of 22,0001, has been subscribed by additional Subscribers.

Mr. GARRETT moved for an injunction to restrain a captain of a ship from landing goods at a particular wharf, having un dertaken to deliver them at another wharf. The Loan CHANCELLOR objected to granting injunctions ex-parte in general, because of the continual inaccuracies in the affidavits upon which they were asked, and the confusion which had ensued from them was incalculable. In the particular , case before him, he thought that he could have no more right to grant an injunction ex-parte, to force this captain to use a particular wharf. than he would have to restrain a man from buying tea any where else than at Twining's. There really would be no • end to such applications. The parties might it' they chose, at tend on Monday, and argue the case fully before him. 13ItOVINCI.A1, NMWSPAPEIt NERAL ADVERTISING OFFICE, No. 1, SKIN. N I.:R-STREET, SNO Will LI. London, Mr. S.

His HONOUR heard bankrupt petitions, none of which were of the least public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 16. BELL AND ANGTHEn v. Co..)X. .This was an action for a breach of contract. The plaintiffs, who arc the owners of the- ship Copernicus, engaged •in the South Sea whaleAshery, had contracted with the defendant, who is a ship biscuit-baker at • LintehouSe, - for a supply of ship biscuit of the best quality ; but it was alleged that on opening some of the casks in the course of the voyage, the biscuit was found to be a mixed kind, some part appearing to have beeti re-baked, and full of weevil-holes and small remains of cock roaches, which had been destroyed in the' re-beking. To this the defendant replied, that he had delivered very good biscuit, according to order, but that, it' damaged afterwards, it must have been from neglect in the coopering or stowing. ' Upon these peas issue was joined. Mr. CamPuELL opened the pleadings. Mr. - Sergeant VAUC.HAN stated the case to the Jury. It appeared trims the evidence of-Captain 111‘Gregor, the mas ter of the ship, that the defendant had applied to him for au order for the supply of biscuit, and at the same time told him that he' had a quantity of old biscuit, which he would dispose of at a reduced rate. The Captain acquainted the pleuniffs, his owners, with this, but they declined to have any other titan the best bread, and it did not matter about the price. He repeated this to the defendant, and afterwards entered into an agreement with him for a certain quantity-of the bestbread. lie saw some bread in the stores which was very good, and it was for this kind he had agreed. Some of this was delivered in sacks for immediate use, and the rest was coopered up in casks to be used in the course of his voyage. The bread was delivered in October 1821, and what was in the sacks was very good; but in the middle of the•next month some of the casks' were opened, and the bread was found to be mixed. Some part was very bad and old, and the other good. There were weevil• holes in the old bread, and on striking it on the capstan the dead weevils (which had been baked in it) came out. There were, besides, the remains of cock-roaches, which appeared also to have been baked in it. Several casks were opened front time to tithe, and it appeared they were worse in the centre than at the ends; and at last they were obliged to lay it by, and use the bread supplied by another baker, which was very good. Some of defendatid's bread became so very bad, that even the pigs on board would aot eat it, and i was thrown overboard. In con sequence of this, the men win put on a short allowance of five pounds per man a week ; and had they not fallen in .with the Andrumache frigate, and also got a supply at St. Helena, they must have been very much distressed for provisions. • On his cross-examination, the Captain said that he had made no entry in the log-book of the bad state in which the bread was found. lie had not done so, because he did not wish to irritate the crew. • - The mate, steward, and another of the crew corroborated this testimony with respect to the state of the bread. The cook, a black man, also said the bread was bad, but all the bread on board was much the same. This was the plaintiff's case, 111 r. Serjeant 1.1) E, in addressing the Jury for the de femiant, complained or die disadvantage under which he la boured in not having any of the bread produced by which the Jury could judge from its appearance whether or not it had been re-baked. Ile would call witnesses to prove, that all the bread which had been supplied to the Copernicus by defendant was new bread, and of the best quality ; and that if it was de. teriorated in the course of the voyage, ht must have been by the neglect or mismanagement of those on board in the coopering or stowing it. Ile then called the defendant's foreman, who had been in his employ 18 years, and some workmen who had been several years engaged in bAking for hint. They proved that the bread supplied to the Copernicus by their master was till new, and vound, and of the best description. There was no old or re. baked bread whatever mixed with it. On the cross-examination of sonic of those witnesses, they admitted that their master sometimes dealt in old bread. He purchased it sometimes from captains, fur selling it again as food for dogs; but such biscuit was never sold us new to captains or others. One witness said, that his master had lately sold a quantity of old biscuit its dogs' food at the rate of IN. 6d: per cwt. If bread got damage from damp, it would first affect that at the side anti the end of the casks. Mr. Curtis, a gentleman extensively. in the biscuit trade, proved that:the present price of dog-biscuit is from Ms. to Itis. per cwt. That of good and new is about 225. per cwt., with?. discount for cash. This was the defendant's case. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, in reply, contended that the plain tiff's' case was not at all affected by the defence set up. There was no evidence of any improper management of the biscuit after it came on board ; and unless his witnesses were perjured, a verdict must be given for the plaintiff's. The amount lie did not so much care for. The plaintiffs being in extensive busi ness, and having many persons employed under them, wished to rescue their character from even the shadow of an imputa tion that. they would send out a ship's crew with a supply of provisions of a bad quality. They wished to let the odium of that lie upon those who merited it, and who had supplied the inferior article, though peal for it at die price of the best.... The plaintiffs did not wish to press hard upon the defendant ; but if the had chosen, in order to put a little more money in Ma pocket, to deviate from the path of justice anti fair dealing, he must take the consequence. Let the Jury deal with him as they please. The Lown CHIEF JUSTICE SUIGIIICII up to the Jury. It was a question, he said, of fact, and it was their province to decide. Ile would merely observe, that unless they believed the witnesses for the plaintiflis to be perjured (tier which no one pro bable motive could be assigned), they must conclude that the conduct of the defendant was grossly thudulent. The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff' Damages, 8111. 19s. 9th and costC Treasurer, SAMUEL HOAR, Jun. Esq. COMM Ilia Exce'lenity Count Munster Right Hon.

THE elevated and distinguished posit ion of this Country was probably never more visible than at the present period. The commercial prosperity of almost every Town and District in the Kingdom, and the plans now in con templation to facilitate and increase trade and manufactures, must be so apparent to every observer, that to particularise, is unnecessay. Among the most important is, that Grand Improvement, the LOCOMOTIVE STEAM-ENGINE, for the convey ance of Passengers and Merchandige on a Rail-road ;by means of this power, a CoMpany will be enabled to transport the heaviest goods with certainty and security, by day and night, at all times of the year; in periods of frost or of drought, at the rate of at least eight miles an hour, and passengers at the rate of twelve. The Capital required to complete the object in view, and the current charges for the maintenance of a Rall-Road and Loco , motive Power, being much less than that employed by any ex-. isting means for conveyance, will enable a Company to carry goods and passengers at a rate less ' by one third, probably by One Half, than the sum paid at present. These are not specu lative or visionary ssserttons ;—they are founded on facts, col lected by an examination of the system of carriage by Rail. Roads, actually practised in the North of England. From the surveys and estimates of the intended Manchester and Liverpool, and Stroud and Severn Rail-Roads, it appesrs that the cost for a main road Fifteen feet wide, including land, &c. is about 2,0001. per mile ; but as the travelling and traffic from Bristol to Bath is calculated to b e g reater for the same dis tance that any like establishment in the Kingdom, it will he advisable to make the Main• Road Sixty Feet Wide; which, including machines, trams, and every other charge, will come under or about 8,0001. per mile.' It is the opinion of an eminent Surveyor, that the whole line required for the Main Road from Bristol to Bath, will not ex ceed Twelve Miles; the costs whereof, including Collateral Branches to the Principal Colleries, may be taken in round numbers, at about One Hundred Thousand Pounds. The number of Coal Pits in the vicinity, and near the line of the intended Rail-Road, and the facility and celerity of conveying mercantile and agricultural produce to and from each City, (in the space One Hour and Half) the reduced rates, and the unde viating punctuality and security of Rail-Roads upon the im proved system will inevitably insure to itself sufficient traffic, (independent cif the carriages fur conveying passengers) to afford a liberal remunerating profit to those embarked in it; at the same time that it will create a competition highly advantageous to the public, and be to the shipping interest of Bristol of the highest importance, by the eventual extension of the system to the manufacturing and clothing ttistticts contiguous to this - 5 J.

That further Subscriptions be received until they shall amount to 1 ,750,000/., the sum required by the Estimate of Mr. Tel ford for the completion of the undertaking. in such manner as the Committ e e shall deem to be most advisable.

That the Committee be requested to continue their services with the powers already vested in them to cause a 11111 to be llepared with such provisions as they shall deem most ad !l'able and to prosecute the measures necessary to be adop ted In Parliament and until the Act shall be obtained.
