PRECEDENCY OF ESQUIRES. The following ,question relative to the pre cedency of Esquires by Office, is taken literally from the Hadrian MSS. 1433, and is written on the first leaf of the Visitation of Surrey. ,The signatures appear to be original autographs : QUESTION. " Whether an Esquire by qtlee shall take place of another Esquire by office, who . Vitts made Esquire by virtue of the said office six or seven years after, although the latter may be the more ancient Gentleman ?" ANSWER. " Their office being of equal rank and qualitie, he that is first an Esquire by office, shall take place of him that is made Esquire afterwards by virtue of the said office, although the latter may be the more ancient Gentleman.

We have nothing to add to our former report. TERRY is by no means so successful in Justice Woodcock as he is in most of the characters which he performs. Mrs. WA Y.. L ETT, well known in Provincial and the Minor Theatres of the metropolis, was Madge. She is a lively and, agreeable actress, and she gave a na tural air to the part. Mrs. 13cnvoun was again favourably received in Rosetta, and her husband still more so in Hawthorn. I 1 AY MAR K ET.—The Comedy of The Hypocrite, supported by DOWTO N'S admirable Cantwell, LisTon's-Mawreorm, and Miss K MAY'S Char lotte, attracted last night a very numerous audi ence. This Play, we nave no doubt, has been useful in exposing cant, hypocrisy, and fanatical delusion, and its tendency is not only strongly promoted by the exposure of Cantwell, but by the idiot enthusiasm of Mawworm. 141sTos's ludicrous anathema from his skreen pulpit, as usual, was repeated last night.—The Marriage of Figaro followed. Miss G EOR GE, as before, acquitted herself very ably in Susanna, and in troduced the popular song of " Bid me discourse," in which she was deservedly encored. Miss KELLY'S Page was admirable. COURT OP CIIANCEItY.--NATASCH V. TRYING and others, President and Directors of the. Alli ance British and Foreign Life and Fire Assur ance Company.—ln this cause his Lordship granted an injunction to restrain the Presidents and Directors of the Alliance Company from ef fecting Marine Insurances, on the ground that the Directors had no right, as against the plaintiff, to employ the pisetuership funds to carry on that branch of business; but the CUAN CELLOR said there was nothing to prevent those members who chose it from forming a new part nership of Marine Insurance.—We understand that a new Company, for this purpose, is imme diately about to be formed by Mr. ROTUSCHILD and his friends. This being the anniversary of the .Gunpowder Plot, was observed as a collar-day at St. James's ; the royal standard was hoisted on the Tower, and the Park and Tower guns were fired at one o'clock. Lord BEttEsFonn has arrived at Southampton, from Scotland, and taken a house, fur the re covery of his health, by the advice of his Physician. The Dorset County Chronicle has headed its account of the trial of Mr. FAUNTLEROY with a wood-cut profile of the unfortunate man, which no doubt will give an added zest to the curiosity of its Readers, whether or not it bears any simi litude. Died on Saturday evening, after a protracted illness, the Rev. C. It. MAT unix, M.A., Citrate of St. Peter's, Dublin. In him the poor have lost a kind friend ; our religion a firm supporter; and literature one of its brightest ornaments. As a preacher, Mr. Maturin was highly esteemed ; Ids sermons were masterly compositions ; his reasoning incontrovertible and his language the most calculated to subdue the heart, and to demand attention. Ilis six Controversial Sermons, preached during last Lent, have been lately printed, and are now before the public. They 'show the author to he a profound scholar and an acute reasoner; never, since Dean Kirwan's time, were such crowds attracted to the parish c h urc h , as duritur the delivery of ilisse sermons; neither r a i n or storm cou ld subdue. the anxiety of all classes and all persuasions to hear then u; and did he leave no other monuntent whereon to rest his fame, these sermons alone would be sufficient. lint ..11r. Maturin's genius was as expanded as his learning was d v , l) anti various; his Novels and Plays, if they cannot br.ritnked amongst the higher productions of this kind, evince wonderful power of imagination, while the beauty of his language stands unrivalled; indeed, we have seen it observed by some of the Reviewers, that there was no writer of the present day who had a greater range of th oug h t, or greater command of lan guage, than this Reverend Gentleman.—(Dubli Corresponikist, N ov. 2.) Yesterday the Annual Sermon was preached at the parish church of St. Margaret, Westminster, according to the will of Mrs. Joan Barnett, commonly called the "oat meal woman." Site left to 20 poor widows of that parish 40s. per annum each tbr ever ; 21)s. for a sermon to be preached annually on the 4th of' November; 20s. to the overseers of the parish for a treat, and one of the dishes at the entertainment, in memory of her, is always to be an oatmeal pudding; and half-a-crown to the clerk, and half-a-crown to the sexton. The Gothic front from Palace-yard, 'West minster, begins to slimw the design. The masons have ear. ried it to the first cornice, over the entrance of Westminster. Hall. THAMES TUNNEL—The houses which now cover the intended site of the shaft, near Itotherbithe Church, are taking down, and the ground is clearing, preparatory to the excavation, which is to be commenced from the Surrey side of the R iver. CAUTION. —A young man well-dressed, called at the house of Mrs. Torus, Charlotte-street, Rathbone-place, on Wednesday evening, stating, that he had left Mr. T. (who is at Brighton) that morning, and that he was about to return to Brighton the next day, and had'a message to deliver to Miss Toplis. Miss 'P. was out, no doubt well known to the thief,who asked permission to write a note. He was shown into a parlour, and pen and ink having been provided, the servant left him, in about 5 minutes the fellow rang the bell, and met the ser vant at the door with a note addressed to Miss Toplis, and he was let out, stating that he would call again in the morning.— No suspicion occurred until Miss Toplis returned, when it was ascertained that the lock of an escrutoire had been picked, and a watch, three sovereigns, and some silver, together with various trinkets, had been stolen. He has played the same trick successfully at other places.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 4. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL' EX EEL. ADAMS v.. THE REV. ALEXANDER FLETCHER AND °TITERS. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose to move for an injunction that one of the defendants should be restrained from preaching in a certain chapel at Illoorgate, and that the.otber defendants, trustees in a deed, should be restrained from paying over or in any way disposing of the collections and the pew-rents arising from the same chapel. The application was made on the rela tion of one of the trustees. Mr. HORNE objected to this motion being now made, on the ground that the defendant Fletcher, for whom he appeared, had not had sufficient time to answer the affidavits filed. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the Solicitor-General to proceed, and state the nature of his motion. ____ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then went on. The Rev. A. Fletcher was the preacher in a chapel at Moor-gate, the pro perty of which chapel had been vested by a valid deed in cer tain persons upon the trusts therein mentioned. Mr. Fletcher's Conduct having been made the subject of an investigation by the Presbytery of that religious sect of which he was a member, he had been , sentenced to be suspended from his functions as a minister. The Synod of the same church afterwards confirmed the sentence of the Presbytery. By the provisions of the trust- deed, Mr. Fletcher, as minister of the chapel, was bound to submit, in all things relative to his clerical capacity, to the au thority of the Presbytery and Synod. By these tribunals he had been suspended from his office of minister, and forbidden to preach in the chapel from the last Sunday in September to the 18th of May next. He was, therefore, no longer the minis ter of the chapel for any practical purposes. It was the custom of the Presbyterian Church— Mr. Holism here repeated his objection that the motion j should proceed no further, because he said the Solicitor-General's statement would go forth to the public, and have the effect of creating a prejudice unfavourable to his client, Mr. Fletcher. The LORD CHANCELLOR—You have nothing to fear on that score. I have heard nothing- yet, and I dare say Mr. So licitor-General has nothing to tell me, that I have not already seen in all the newspapers : the matter has been made quite public enough in all its details. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he should state nothing that his instructions and the affidavits of the party did not jus tify. lie then went on to say, that the Synod, in pursuance of their usual practice on such occasions, made out a rota, con taining the names of six or seven persons, who were directed to preach in the chapel during the period of Mr. Fletcher's suspension. Mr. Fletcher had declined to obey the decision of the Synod, and his refusal had been supported by some of the trustees. On one occasion a gentleman mentioned in the rota presented himself for the purpose of doing the duties of the chapel on the day to which he hail been appointed, but he was prevented from doing so by Mr. Fletcher and certain trustees, who refused to permit him to enter the chapel. It was to pre vent a repetition of this circumstance that the Learned Gentle. man was now instructed to press his motion. The ecclesiastical authority of the Presbytery and Synod was a part of the consti tution of England, and was as much within its pale and limits._ as much entitled to its protection, as the Church of England it self. That Presbytery and Synod had declared that Mr. Fletcher was not tit to be a Minister, at least during a cer tain period. The Reverend Gentleman chose to dispute the authority by which he had been suspended, and in the very teeth of the church which had appointed him—in the teeth, too, of the provisions of that trust-deed by which the chapel had been founded, he refused to give up his pulpit; and said openly, that nothing but the interfe r en c e o f t h e civil power should induce him to do so. In pursuance of this reso tion, he had once excluded the minister appointed by the Synod, and the probability was, that he would do the same thing on the ensuing Sunday. Under the circumstances he had now stated, he submitted that he had a right to move for the injunction ex-parte ; and as the notice which had been given to the other side was an extension of courtesy to the de- ' fendants, they hail no right now to come and complain of the shortness of that notice, or of the lateness of the period at which the affidavits were tiled. This was precisely one of those cases in which, to use the technical expression of the Court, " irre parable mischief" mush be done if it did not interfere. Mr. Fletcher had already once refused to let the person duly au thorized enter the chapel, and he would do so again; the mis chief of these refuaals would be wholly irreparable, and the only way to prevent them in future' would be to grunt the present application. The LORD CHANCELLOIL—What is the prayer? Mr. SHADWELL replied, it was that the trusts of the deed should be enforced. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" What are those trusts?" 111 r. SHADWELL—On the part of the trustees they are, that th shall apply all such collections as may be made in the c d ha 1, and all the pew-rents, in the manner directed by the ee . dic, The Loan CitaNcELLon—la any property vested in the trustees by the deed? 111 r. SIIA.DWELL—Yes; the lease of the chapel is conveyed to them. Mr. SoracrTon-GEwEnAL—And they are to enforce the provisions of the deed, one of which is, that the Minister shall obey the decrees of th e P res b ytery an d Synod. The Loan CliAxcui.Lon—This matter seems to be of some importance, and it is quite impossible that it can be de cided before Saturday. MrAlonNE—l am quite aware of that, my Lord, but my objection to its proceeding in the present shape is, that the statement on one side only will be made public. The Loun CIIANCELLOIL—What, harm can be done by its being made public? Every body knows already that this Synod, as they call themselves, have suspended Mr. Fletcher from his office as one of their ministers; and every body knows, too, that Mr. Fletcher does not choose to submit to the sentence they have passed upon him. Mr. II OHNE—The question involves a very important point respecting your Lordship's jurisdiction. We have been unable to prepare the answer which we shall be ready to give to the affidavits }fled on Tuesday last, and we only ask time to do so. Mr. SHADWELL—AII that we are immediately anxious about is, that these trustees shall he restrained from paying over, or make in the c h a p e l on S un d a y n ext, in any way disposing of, the amo un t o f t h e co ll ec t i on which it is intended to m after a sermon to be preach e d by M r. Fl etcher. The Loan CHANCELLOR—I should think that after notice of this application, the trustees will hardly be so rash as to part with any of the money that may come to their hands under the deed. If they d o so , t h ey w ill d o w rong. With respect to tk some of them appear to be of great e other points of the case, nu porton ce. Mr. HORNE.—They are so. And your Lordship should be informed that this Presbytery and Synod is not belonging to the Church of Scotland, but is a secession from that Church. The Loan CIIANCELLOR.—I think it fair that you should have a reasonable time to answer the allegations against you.— In the mean time, as the bill is on the files of the Court, no harm can be done on the other ape.. 31r.

It was proposed by all the partners, with t h e except i on of the plaintiff, to extend the business of the concern to Marine Insurances.

CORONATION FURNITURE.—FELLOWS v. FACIE. ' Mr. KEANE mid, that this was a bill which had been filed by the Hon. Win. Dorset Fellows against the defendant Mr. Page, to compel • him to pay into Co ur t t h e a m ou nt which he lut received out of the sale of the Coronation fixtures and fur niture used in Westminster hall, during the ceremony of his Majest's coronation. TheVICE CHANCELLOR inquired what answer the defend ant hadziven to this bill. Mr. YEPYA replied, that his answer was, he made no contract with Mr. Fellowes, but with Lord Gwydyr and that Nobleman was no party to the bill. The facts were these :—Mr. Fellowes had sent for Page, the defendant, and informed him that he would put it in his power to make a good bargain in the purchase of the coronation fixtures, which had become the perquisite of Lord Gwydyr, as Cham berlain. They might be had for 1,5001., provided the hall was to be cleared of them before the 10th of January. In conse quence of this recommendation of Mr. Fellowes, and the belief of Mr. Page that the property had not been 'offered to any other person for sale, he agreed to give a note to Mr. Fellow-3 in part payment for 5351. After he had done so, however, he discovera from Mr. Robins that the property had previously been offerod for sale all over the town, and that n o purchaser tould be found —that Mr. Fellowes had, in fact, bought it from Lord Gwydyr, and instead of being now selling it as his Lordship's agent, he was re-sellin it for his own profit. M r . P age i mme di ately sent word to Mr. Fe llowes, that he was ready to restore to him the key of the hall,with all the property therein, on condition of his note for 535/. being restored to him. This was not done: the note was passed into the hands of estranger, and Mr. Page, upon being obliged to pay the amount, proceeded to se ll the fixtures its the hall, which produced OR. beyond the amount of the note, without making any deduction liar Mr. Page's troubl e , th roug h whose activity even the sum mentioned had been obtained from the sale. The whole sum, without any deduction,flMr. Page was now called upon to pay into court, not by Lord Gwydyr, who declined having his name inserted in the bill, but by Mr. Fellowes. Now, Mr. Page contended he had only dealt with Mr. Fellowes as the agent of his Lordship, and was . not bound to pay over the amount called for, except by the direction of Lord Gwydyr. The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired whether Mr. Page dis claimed the contract ; if he did, he must pay the money into Court ; if he did not, he was liable to a decree for the unpaid balance. The Counsel being unable to give the Vice-Chancellor a satisfactory explanation of the terms of the agreement bey tween the parties, his HONo tat desired the bill and declara tion to be left for him to peruse at home. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 4 STRINGER V. MARKHAM. This was an action by the executors of Mrs. Brockerler against the executors of Mr. Covin i on a note for the payment of 500/., within six months from Mr. Covin's decease. The parties lived at Louth, in the county of Lincoln, where the note was given on the 16th of March, 1813. It purported to be given in consideration of natural love and affection anti of ser vices rendered, and thereafter to be render e d, by affection, Brocker. ley. She was connected with him very distantly by marriage, but not related by blood, and had occasionally assisted in his faMily. The note was not given at his house, but at.that of a man named Adam Eve, who attested the note as a witness. At the trial, before Mr. Baron Bullock, the defence set up was, that the testator, an old man of 74, was not of sound and dis , posing mind, and was unduly influenced to make the instru. ment. It was proved that, before this time, he would, when he saw a cow milked, exclaimed, " HoW much milk that horse gives !" and when asked after his health, would a n s w e r, " I died some time ago." Ile had been a Commissioner of the. Court of Conscience in his borough, and used to sit e hear all the arguments, and say nothing, and then say the Judgment must be for the plaintiff instead of the defendant, or vie: versa. A commission of lunacy was afterwards taken out against him, and he was found a lunatic; but the period fixed for the begin ning of his mental alleniation was three years after the note was given. The Learned Judge summed up strongly fbr the de indent, but the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff: ' A rule was obtained for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence, which now came on to be argued.' The COMMON SERGEANT chewed cause against the rule._. The question was purely a question of fact, most fit for the consideration of the Jury, to whom it was certainly presented by the Learned Judge without any leaning in favour of the plaintiff. The instances of mental aberration given were really' futile: when vexed and teased, the old man answered as a humourist ; but though he said he was dead, he did not act on the motion, which was the characteristic of madness. The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE—That is, that he did not give directions for his own funeral.—(A laugh.) The COMMON SERGEANT—And if he sat as Judge, and merely named the party who ought to succeed, what did he do more than the celebrated Judge who decided by , the cast of the die? The Lorin CHIEF-JUSTICE—And of whom it is said by Rabelais, who tells the story, that fewer of his decisions were reversed on appeal than those of any Judge on record.—(A laugh.) The COMMON SERGEANT proceeded to contend that the Court could not disturb the verdict without infringing on the province of the Jury, who saw the demeanour of the witnesses, and who were as much the constitutional tribunal to decide, as the Court were to determine points of law. "Ad questionens filen non respondeant judices" was a well-known maxim ; and. what was this but a question of fact? He therefore submitted that the rule should be discharged. Mr. CLARKE proceeding to support the rule was stopped by The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE, who said—" We think, in this case there ought to be a new trial on payment of costs. The practice of granting new trials, which has been found highly be.' neficial to the interests of justice, arose in the room of the oia law of attaint, which was far less favourable to the trial by jury.. It is impossible to look at the history of our law, without perceiving that in ancient times the verdicts of Juries were regarded with far greater jealousy than they are by us. I believe the improve. ments in manners and in morals have removed in a great de gree the occasion for that jealousy; but I feel that the interpo sition of the Court, not to bring them under review, is still of great service. When we direct a new trial, we do not say that the verdict is wrong, but that the case ought to undergo another, inquiry. That is all we say now ; and that we may not preju, dice the case, we will give no opinion on its merits. The rule must be absolute, on payment of costs by the defendant." HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov. 4. Dr. HENRY V. SALISBURY, LL.D., introduced by Dr. Arnold, having taken the usual oaths at the bar, was admitted by Lord Stowell among the number of the advocates practisin4 in this Court. THE APOLLO. In this case two gentlemen, who reside at Belfast, were the owners of five-eighths of the Apollo, and a Mr. Tarbutt was the owner of the remaining three-eighths. In August, 1821, when the ship was about to proceed for the West Indies, Mr. Tarbutt, being dissatisfied with the alterations and improve. ments that had been made, and which, he said, was cored. derably to her disadvantage, caused her to be arrested. The remaining shareholders were obliged' to give security to meet any loss that might occur ;—but still Mr. Tarbutt was dissatisfied with the arrangements in the vessel, and insti. tilted proceedings in Chancery fbr her detention. These were set aside, and in August 11121 the ship sailed. On her return from the East Indies she went on shore at the Cape of Good Hope, and fell to pieces. Mr. T., therefore, applied to the se, minty that was given for his three-eighths to recover 30001. the value. His co-proprietors, however, asserted that he had occa sioned a loss to them of 5088/. in consequence of his unfounded representations of her being unseaworthy, and the injury that inregftenrilertlt and o I t .k h a e l 'n Registrar and was occasioned to the voyage by her detention w i t h the I,:nd foree applied Chancellor's t i h n a j t u n ae cltiocnase s . ll ho rs u . ld Lu b s and merchants. Dr. '3ENNEtt anti Dr. JESSE ADAMS, on the part of Mr: Tarbutt, opposed the application. They argued that the case could not come within the jurisdiction of the Court, on account of the previous proceedings in th e C our t o f Ch ancery . Th ey denied that Mr. Tarbutt had acted with any malicious motives and declared that he had only for his own security resorted to legal proceedings when he arrested the ship. A vast quantity of . evidence was read, In which the parties equally reproached each other for the loss of the ship, and the further argument was postponed. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANOE, Nor. 5.
