Tll E LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY .Extracts front the Morning Papers, Aug. 20. [inn: vmrs. There is, we are informed, very little doubt *halo= gentlemen set off in the course of yes , terday from London for the Continent, for the purpose of negotiating with the Spanish Court the loan of a considerable sum of money. Know ing;sas wee do, the character of Ferdinand and his advisers, the-real end of all their policy, and the execrable , uses to which any treasure that may reach their hands will be devoted-- 7 we set out with acknowledging our earnest hope, that the present treaty may, like every other which has had for its object to relieve the necessities of these tyrants, terminate in their utter mortification. It is true that those who now hold the securities of the Spanish Cortes, have not a shadow of chance that one shilling of the principal or interest due to them wilt be paid, except in the completion of another loan, from the proceeds of which they May be indemnified. But if without a loan they have nothing to expect, so neither have they with it. To act honestly is no part of the scheme of Government as at present constituted in Spain, and If it were, no Minister employed by - Ferdk mind and the Priesthood would have power to execute those energetic measures, or to force from his Masters these extensive sacrifices, without which it has become physically impossible that the State can fdlfil any pecuniary engagement, or sa tisfy the demand of a single creditor for " much as one Awelvemonth from the day on which he signs the undertaking. There is no doubt that the first condition pro- Posed 114 a shit: qua turn for a new loan by the contractors, will 1w the recognition of the former loatis which .Ferdinand has. been all this while proclaiming his resolution to disavow. There is Perhaps as little question, that rather than fail in the new bargain he will promise to acknowledge the old ones ; and what then ? Promises we see —oaths upon oathi—cost his Catholic Majesty nothing. There is no depending on his word ; • but what is an equally grave consideration, with . the best intentions in the world, which for argu ment sake we shall'suppose, es absolute King of Spain, Ferdinand has not the means of dischar ging interest or principal, however solemnly he may pledge himself to either. As constitu tional Monarch he was the most solvent crown ed," head in Europe. The Cortes had compell ed the church of Spain to disgorge the fruits of long ages of rapacity—and had applied the .ecclesiastical dOmains as a fund for the discharge of all the national incumbrances.— What is. the case now ? The resumption of the church-lands has made the nation an uncertilicated bankrupt. There is not security for 10,0001. itt, the whole financial system of the country. To keep Ferdinand quiet, the Clergy furnish him with money enough for his immediate personal rants!--but no farthing of debt nor fraction of Interest have they enabled him to pay since his restoration, to friend or fortaigner—to creditors, constitutional or servile. The public interest, of course, in nil its branches, military, maritime, and civil, has been left to take care of itself ; and the most legitimate of all kinedoms has been restored from a state of political society to worse than a state of uature. CBRITISI[ PRESS.] 137 the intelligence received yesterday, via New York, from Mexico, it appears, that a French agent had arrived in that country, pro fessedly to establish with the Mexican Republic relations of amity and commerce. The fact of his arrival had bean Officially announced to the Congress; but it is not stated that passports for the capital had been forwarded to him, The Editor of She • Nrze York Gazette observes truly, dist, in this mission, the 66 French Cabinet are either playing a double game of perfidy, or a troacherous one to Mexico alone." Wu have our. selves several times adverted to the language of the Ministerial Journals of Fcance, as indicat ive of the hostile feeling of the Bourbon Court ; nor shall we he persuaded of the sincerity of their friendship towards the late Spanish Colonies, till, from the. conduct of their dependents, we see clearly that all hopes of a suceo4ful attempt on the independence of the new States are complete ly eresigned. The Mexican Government wits pro. ceedlng tranquilly in the execution of its fungi. Um's. In the private letters, General Bravo's entrance into Gundalaxttra is again reported.— There seemed to be no doubt that be would inl• mediately quell the sedition. The conspirators in favour of I turbitle, apprehended on the 9th of May, have been tried and convicted. The twn leaders were sentenced to death, and the others to banishment. The latter, it appears, had been sent off to Acapulco. rhlOrtNlo , POST.' We received last night, by Express, French Papers to the 18th instant. The state of Owlr columns furnishes abundant proofs that the Mi nkiPra do not mean to let the Censorship become in their hands a brulternfidriten. It. is astonishing bow quickly they have reconstructed and set in motion the wheels of that tremendous Engine. The Ordinance by which its revival was decreed Was . piihlished iu the cenrse of Monday, and even before the appointment of Censors had been sig. *tilled, the Papers of Tuc t iday morning came out so clipped and defaced as to show that they had already entered npon the exercise of their office, and had done it with a:degree Or ion, which al most surpasses credit. The great object seems to ltave been to prevent the' press from complain ing of its . being Hence not a word ha ving that tendency , has :•been allowed to appear,' and as the Journals in self.defence leaven blank in the place of etpr'y 'ailicl - e•sillida is marked out by the censors, the public ore enabled to judge 'of the "teffi of th'e iiteratl and lull tical slaughter w hich has been committea. itt this instance the. Ultras have been greater kufferers-thiri. th e Libe rals ; .which corroboNtes-our Itstertinn that the present mealittre' is cilielittlloce - od ae:duit former. The Journid dot Debalvi,"it) 1 , • d,e, t t y organ of a Minister, displays in its intetior- a yawning vacancy of two columns and a half out of four of which it is composed. Here, we have no doubt, Chateaubriand had poured forth one of those effUsions which, two months ago, all the Journals, of the Administration. would have ex- tolled us a model of sound reasoning, loyalty, and eloquence, and which the grave Moniteur itself -would have copied. Now he is not permitted to 'address a word to the public , through the medium of his own Paper, and as the Chambers are closed, and even if they were opened the debates in the Peers are secret, he is disarmed at once of all the influence which reasoning and talent could exercise upon the country. This is indeed muzzling an adversary with a vengeance, but it does not pass wholly unavenged ; for the appearance of so many blanks in the Papers (even the Constilutionnel has lost a column end an half of its contents) cannot fail to raise universal indignation and dis gust, and to injure the Ministers so deeply, as the most profound arguments or pointed sarcasms of their antagonists could have done. They play a desperate game, and they play it with a de gree of desperate boldness which might succeed with the strong, but which must ensure the ruin of the weak. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] We fear it will turn out that another fabrica- tion has been palmed upon the public, as gross as that one to which we alluded on Tuesday, and we lament to say, for equally disgraceful pur poses. On the 13th instant, was copied into some of the Morning Papers a letter, purporting to have been received in London from New York, under date of 17th July, stating that the schooner Eclipse, Captain Marshton, at that in. stint had arrived from Soto la Marina, bringing ad vices " that General Bravo had entered Gun. dalajara on the 13th of June, after a rapid march, where he was received with the most en thusiastic acclamations." The same letter then adds as follows : " The troops Immediately abandoned Quintenar, and joined the brave Mexicans. In the evening the city was illuminated, And public rejoicings of every description took place. De serted by all his followers, Quintenar had fled for safety to the province of Sonora. Thus has tranquillity been restored, and the union consolidated between two of the most populous and interesting provinces in the New World, and schemes discon certed which had extensive ramifications. After remaining in Guadalajara a few days, It was the intention of General Bravo to put himself In communication, or rather to form a second line of operation with General Gant!, who commands a con siderable body of faithful troops in the province of Santander, and closely watches the coast at the same time, in the event of Iturbide daring to make un attempt at landing. Gen . . Garza is a man possessed of immense property, and is the same indi vidual who first opposed the I.'4x-Eutperor when he caused twenty-four Members of the Congress to be arrested. Illy fidelity fora moment cannot be doubted." So (sir the noted letter on Mexican affairs, as ushered to the public in the most unblushing manner ! It no doubt had the effect proposed, for it cannot be expected that every one is pre pared to calculate the distance from Mexico to Guadalajara, or the time it would take to con cert a plan of operations between a Commander in the latter district, situated on the Pacific, and one Doing in the province of Santander, on the Gulf of Mexico, with an immense continent be tween them. How General Bravo was to con cert- a second line of operations with General Gaiza, so as to watch the coast from the Itio del Norte to Vera C:1117, en imme►nse distance, with out a ship, when the former had to come from the Pacific to the Atlantic side► of the Continent, re. mains yet to he explained by the writer of the 44 Letter, received in London by the Just New York packet." This letter, at the time, ap peared to us to Contain more inconsistencies and snore impossibilities than we ever before saw huddled -together in the same compass ; but as it appeared in a respectable Evening Paper, was described as having been received in London, and way, in short, ushered to the world as o genuiue piece of information, we waited anxiously the arrival of the next New York packet, and yesterday all our surmises were fully confirmed. We carefully perused' a regular file of New York papers, to the 24th July, yet we found in them no such arrival as the one alluded to from Soto La Marina ;—no such schooner us the Eclipse,—no such Captain as Marsbton ;—no such news as the Guadalajara promenade with Gen. Bravo as the Commander. We did, indeed, find in a New York paper of 23d July, some news, and the latest received in the United States from Mexico, of a very recent date, of which we subjoin the extract, and it by no means confirms the story of the noted letter brought by the former New York packet. We hope and trust there will be an end to these abo. minable fabrications, as disgraceful to their au thors as they are to those who employed them. The public have been over and over again duped by these insidious practices, and it becomes the duty of those papers, which, no doubt, have un consciously lent themselves to their circulation and supportOo let the world know under what circumstances they have been duped. These are investigations which the Stock Exchange are called upon to enter into, and no honest man will refuse his aid to them:— MExico.—We collect from Mexican Papers, to June 16th, that much disorder prevailed in the interior, though We'do not find that the existence of rtnyreallyformidable inwurrection is acknowledged. Thu Governor, CungriNs, and troops of the State of Jalisco were at open war, however, with the Supreme Government. General Nicholas Bravo had been ordered by the latter to occupy with his► division Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco; but the authorities were determined to resist the measure, and a torte had been collected For the pus. pose, at the head of which the Governor Quintanar placed him. self. The latest doeurnents which we find on the subject are two proclamations of Bravo, who was approaching Guadala jara, to his troops, dated Ist and 2d of June, headquarters of La Barcit ; and orders, dated 6th June, of the authorities of JtabiCO, prescribing measures of defence for the capital. Blood • was expected to be soon shell—General Lopez de Santa Anna bad arrived with his division of troops at Campeache, Al Corn. mandant.General of the " Free States of Yucatan." Ills pro clamations, like those of Bravo, breathed the wannest loyalty to the Federal Republic. They disclose at the saute time cir cumstances of dissatisfaction among the people and soldiery, and machinations in favour of Iturbide, which seems to us to bear a very ominous character._ [MORNING) , HERALD.] Tuesday's Paris Papers—the first puhlication,, under the restored regime of the Censorship, were received last night. The police, by w hi(l. the Censorship is exercised, has done severe exo. cotton ttlion two of the Journals —the Constitu tion-mil and ,fournat des Dan's. 1,1„;re are t;c. viral enormous blanks ill l)oth Journals—Ow ar ticles de:tior.d tor ehem being suppressed. No, xplanation is gitieo or "perhaps allowed, nor any necessary. The Quotidienne, a Royalist Journal in opposition to M. de Villele, has crouched to the last, and declares that it can go on as usual—only abstaining from any thing that could touch certain personal sensibilities. It Is to be observed of the restoration of the Censor ship, that it is aimed , at and provoked wholly by the Ultra opposition—that is, the opposi tion of his own party and friends, to M. de Villele. Now a Minister who has found him self obliged to shut the mouths of his own party—who has certainly not concili a t e d th e sup port of any other—who has a majority against him in the Chamber of Peers—and who secured a majority in the Deputies only by the most flag rant abuses in the late election—is it possible that such a Minister can long maintain his seat ? It appears to be reducible to this dilemma—either that the Minister must fall—or that Parliamen tary and public opinion have no weight in France. Another formidable point for M. de Villele is this : the party which he has silenced—or must zled—is too intemperate in its character, and too during in the consciousness of its own Royalism— or Ultraism—and even of its services and sacrifices in the cause of the Bourbons—to rest quiet. The tone of opposition too was in general temperate and even feeble. There was not a single article which should disturb the equanimity of a Statesman possessing an intelligence of ordinary compass, or having any notion of Constitutional Government end a free discussion. The pretence set forth in the Royal Ordinance, for restoring the Censor ship of the Journals, even, is shallow and absurd in the extreme—it hi, that the Courts of Law had decided that the Journals have an existence de jure, and not merely by the sufferance and breath of the Government. Is it not monstrous to sup pose that a person's property in his time,- his in tellect, and his capital, should exist otherwise than de jure 9 Even a Government purely ab solute will hardly strip a subject of his property without some indemnity, real or pretended, if it acknowl , dges any fixed system of justice or mu nicipal law. [NEW TIMES.] Lord Waithman (as the City Magistrate is designated by John Bull) has received a just re proof from the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. It so happens that among the promoters of this merito rious Charity, one of the Representatives for the j City of London has taken a very active part; and it else happens that Lord Waithman is net at present a Representative for the City. We will not surmise that this trifling circumstance can have had any effect in pointing the sarcasms of his Civic Lordship a gainst the Charity ; but we must say that those sarcasms were, even for a Waithman, peculiarly absurd. Here is an Institution formed for the truly na tional purpose of preserving life in cases of Shipwreck on the coasts of the United Kingdom ; and because a man who was shipwrecked on the coast of France is not relieved out of the funds of the Charity, the Lord Mayor, with a confu sion of intellect which is really surprising in so great a Statesman, declares it to be " ex tremely severe upon an English-born subject!!" —But what process of reasoning the Ex-Dealer in Bandanas discovers that one unfortunate individual is injured because another is re lieved, we do not profess to comprehend. But we must take the liberty of hinting to his saga cious Lordship that he will do himself little credit by endeavouring to depreciate a charity, which enlists in its defence some of the best feelings of the human hea r t. He observes, with a sn ee r, th a t this Institution " has his M a j esty at i ts head " — and a very little research would furnish him with ground for many more such sneers. Be nevolence and the name of George IV. are coupled together too often to render the union in a particular case at all surprising. But under whatever patronage a Public Charity is established, it i s c l early the duty of those who manage it s f un d s " to apply them strictly to the defined objects of the original institution." Some good, however, will probably arise out of the Lord Mayor's blunders. They will serve to call public attention to the fact that the subscrip tions to the Charity in question are not ample enough to meet all the cases of shipwreck even on our own coasts; and in the meanwhile his Lordship, in the plenitude of his private bounty and private fortune, is at full liberty to extend relief to those who suffer a similar misfortune on all other coasts around the globe. It is not perhaps generally known that the house which now constitutes the entrance to Inner Teinple-lane from Fleet-street, and which is at present converted into bil liard rooms, was originally the re,idenco of Prince CHARLEII STUART, son of King JA )IES I. of England. The front eleva tion is nearly in the same state as it was in when it was first built. SINGULAR AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT:4)n Wed nesday afternoon Mr. CHARLES WYBER, of the Borough-road, went into the fleet prison to visit a friend, end joined a party in the Coffee-roorn, who entered into the foolish amusement of tossing up a penny-piece to the top of the roomi!tnd catching the same in the month upon its descent to the floor. Mr. Wy her s was considered a per fect adept at this game ; but the penny-piece at last found its way into the throat, where it re mained for upwards of half an hour. A surgeon tried to force it upwards, but being unable to do so, he contrived t o move it d o wnwards i n t o 'th e stomach. Mr. Wyber was comparatively much relieved by the penny-piece being retnaved out of the throat, and w as enabled, in the evening, to be carried to his house in a hackney-coach. Caconcrry;---Carmarthen fair, on Thursday last, was but thinly attended, owing, we under stand, to a most absurd alarm, founded upon an ancient prophecy of MERLIN, that on that day. the town was to be utterly destroyed by intinda-' tion. Hundreds of persons absolutely retired front the town to the neighbouring villages, to avoid the threatened danger, and, indeed, so great was the terror of some of those poor deittH ded creatures, that they even set off on the pre. cedi4r day for Swanaea, and other towns. In all times false prophecies have abounded, but that in.: ho Rresent age of almost universal itiformation, and intelligence, we • should find 'persons so cre, dulous, excites astonishment.—(Carribrian.) PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From the Slsejleld Mercur y , Aug. 14.) - - - It is now some years since the Edi n b urg h Re view contained an article on the establishment of the Church of Ireland, in which the most exaggerated statement was given of its influence and revenue, drawn principally from Mr. Wake field's work on the subject. We believe this article excited a good deal of surprise amongst the readers of that Journal on this side of the Channel, not unmixed with a large share of scepticism : for few could easily swallow the details it af fected to give with such minuteness. From this represen tation, indeed, it would appear that the Irish Church is a perfect ecclesiastical elysium—that the poorest country in Europe had the richest clergy—that their revenues were great and splendid, in a degree surpassing those of any other country—and that for their immense revenue they li terally performed little or no clerical duty I Such are the im portant facts asserted with so much confidence by Mr. Wake field and the Reviewers, and which have continued to be as serted by others, on their authority, up to the present day. We need scarcely say, that there is nut a word of truth in the whole statement. It has been denied and refuted, in a manner the most satisfactory, a hundred times, and all impartial inquirers are now perfectly satisfied, that the whole of Mr. Wakefield's work is made up of gross exaggerations and erroneous calcu lations. Still, however, it continues to afford a handle to others to renew their attacks on the Irish Church ; which they do not scruple to designate as one of the principal causes of the misery and wretchedness in which Ireland is steeped. The immense revenues of the Church, they say, drawn from the labour and industry of the country, tend to drain it of its wealth, and afflict with poverty the great mass of the population. How the circumstances of Churchmen possess ing property to a great amount, in Ireland, should be so de structive to the welfare of the country, we cannot comprehend— or that such an assignment of it, should be worse than if it had been in the hands of a number of Whig proprietors. We should certainly, a priori, have supposed that the former ar rangement would have been found the most useful ; and, upon examination, it will be confessed to be so in filet. Suppose that the whole of the property of the Irish Church was transferred to lay proprietors, what good would the great mass of the la bouring population gain by the transfer ? Would the poor tenants have to pay less rent, or possess kinder and more in. dulgent landlords? Would a proprietor, in the shape of a resi. dent clergyman, be worse than an absentee layman ? Would the knowledge, the morals, the decencies of Irish society be im proved by impoverishing or driving from the country a set of men who, from education and profession, are gentlemen, for die purpose of putting more money into the pockets of rich landlords, who never come near the spot, but who would expend this addi tion to their rent-roll in the way they do all the rest of their pro. perty ? The revenues of the Irish Church are spent in Ireland ; but let the property change hands, and this would be no longer the case. To those, therefore, who inveigh with such bitter. ness against the property of the Protestant Church of Ireland, we would suggest the propriety of their informing us in what better way they would wish it disposed of; for, till they con descend to do so, we must still be allowed to think that no alteration ought to take place. In the mean time, we would recommend them to peruse carefully the following remarks of one of the most eminent Irishmen that ever lived—Mr. Ed. mund Burke :—" Can any philosophic spoiler undertake to de. " monstrate the positive or the comparative evil of having a cer " taro, and that, too, a large portion of landed property, passing " in succession through persons whose title to it is, always in " theory, and often in fact, an eminent degree of piety, morals, " and learning —a property which, by its destination, in their " turn, and on the score of merit, gives to the noblest families, "renovation and support—to the lowest, the means of dignity and elevation ; a property, the tenure of which is the perform " once of some duty (whatever value you may choose to set " on that duty,) and the character of whose proprietors de " mends, at least, an exterior decorum and gravity of manners ; " who are to exercise a generous but temperate hospitality; part "of whose income they are to consider as a trust for charity ; " and who, even when they fail in their trust, when they slide " from their character, and degenerate into a mere , common se " cular nobleman or gentleman,. are in no respect worse than " those who may succeed them in their forfeited possessions ? " Is it better that estates stiould be held by those who have no " duty, than by those whose character and destination point to " virtue—than by those who have no rule and direction in, the " expenditure of their estates but their own will and appetite? " Nor are these estates held together in the character, or with the "evils supposed inherent in mOrtinain; They pass froni hand to hand with a more rapid circulation than any other. Such are• the published sentimentsof Edmund Burke, aman whose autho rity ought to stand high in every thing connected with the phi losophy of politics, and whose views were not contracted by any selfish or factious considerations. Ile clearly saw the advantage that Ireland derived from her clergy holding so large a share of her landed property ; and had he lived to this day,,lic would have had reason to be still more deeply impressed with the great advantage of such an .arrangement. The Irish clergy, indeed, form almost the only resident gentry the country, pos sesses ; almost all others desert ft., and leave the poorer classes who ought to find in them examples and protectors, to shift as . well as they can for themselves. Banish the clergy, (which would certainly be done it' you deprive them of their property.) and you reduce Ireland to a state of irretrievable and hopeless barbarisms. Would . Out liberal Whigs strip the Protestant Clergy of their property, to bestow it, on their Catholic brethren ? Would such a transfer be forwarding the great interests of Ireland ? %%rduld it be at all reconcile.' able to the maxims of prudence, or an enlightened under. standing, to build the interests of the one establishment on the ruins of the other ?

It happened one day that a 'French Nobleman, in taking a few turns in the square of St. Mark, had his pocket picked of a valuable watch. Instantly on ascertaining his loss; he repaired to the Police Department, and expressed with little discretion, and in unmeasured terms, his prise that, 'u n d er i ts so much vaunted regulations, such a circumstance could have occurred in the middle of the day, and in 50 public a place.

" Your character of, foreigner will not , shelter .you, if, you indulge in such invectives- De posit here four zechins, and repair tomorrow morning, at the same hour, to the spot where youlost your watch, with an assurance that it will.be restored to you. • The Frenchman was punctual, and waited three hours without any tidings of his watch. Still more enraged than before, he again presented him self to - the CommisSary, venting the bitterest iniptecationt ' and swearing that he had been most shamefully plundered and dup. ed, having not only lost lira watch, but his zechins, together with his time, which he held to be equally valuable. " Look to your fob," said the Cothinissary, and there, to his utter astonish. went, he found his watch 1 " You. have still to learn som e , thing further of the Venetian Police," added the Commissary, ccfor which pus lose kse here an Officer who will accompany .you."

I& BRADBURY V. PERKINS AND REATH _ The plaintiff had obtained an injunction to restrain the de.r fendants from infringing his right of patent to a process which he had invented for etching engravings with metallic rollers, which invention the defendants had successfully adopted and applied in cotton - printing and other a ff airs, to the lasi and detriment of the plaintiff: Mr. HORNE, Mr. SUDDEN, and Mr. RoupaLL, now argued against the injunction, and the Court was entreated to dissolve it, on the grounds that the invention was well knotinf and commonly used, at the time when the plaintiffobtaladbis patent, not only in this country, by a Mr. Blackatock ofMan cheater, but also in Ireland ; and moreover, that the specifies , tion of the patent was defective, insomuch that it stated the in vention to be a new method of engraving with metallic talk whereas, according to the plaintiff's own case, the iRVCIAIOR) any, was not in the mode of engraving, but in the preparation of the rollers. Mr. SHADWELL and Mr. COE supported the injunction. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing all the arguments and after giving a dose inspection to the terms of the patent and the specification, was of opinion that the injunction must be dissolved. If the plaintiff had any ground of right which was not discoverable by applyi ng t h e principles of this jurisalci tion to the matter in dispute, he was at liberty to try the vallaht of his patent in a Court of Law. Mr. SHADWELL said that the defendants ought to be di' rected to keep an account in the mean time, until the action should be tried. The LORD CHANCELLOR would not give any direction fQI that purpose. _ BARIPIELD v.

Notice of a motion had been given for varying the directions as to the Lord Chancellor's order. Mr. HEALD now complained to the Court, in conseq uence of that notice, and com mente d w i t h some severity on the liberties which were taken in modern practice in regard to modelling the orders of the Court. He would not, on this last day of the Po' traded Sittings, detain the Court with arguments upon a mus h more serious motion which he had instructions to twak e- ; namely, a motion to comm i t t h e defendants , for a wanton an d flagitious breach of th e or d er o f t h e Court; but he did hope OD ' see some correction a ppli e d to t hi s evil, which produced Inc" 11 culable inconvenience and vexation. When he first apps se in this Court, the practice was, that the order being once Pro' nounced and set down in writing, neither party could :stool' to vary that order; but since the election of the other Coact l the practice of varying the directions had grown up with it, tin° so successfully had it thriven, that in nine cases out GO ttgli shit order had actually been varied, and very frequently without any reason being shewn to the Court for thus tampering with its power and jurisdiction. . The Loun CHANCELLOR agreed with Mr. Heakl, is wl'lst i he had stated, a s t o t h e f orm e r pract i ce, and reprehended n terms of some warmth, the custom of varying th e cedes of the Court afte r being solemnly pronounced. So perfectly was " e convinced of the mischievous consequences of this practice, that from henceforth he was determined, that if a Solicitor 'should be brought before him who Lad been found so dealing With his order, though he were the most respectable man in the pro" fession. he would make him pay all the costs of the applicatiow out of his own pocket. Mr. HEALD approved of his Lordship's resolution, end hoped that he would make a memorable example of this case. fhe SOLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. WAKEFIKLD jUll* fled the motion for the defendants, because, in fact,- the eitst in the Registrar's book was an actual deviation from the CIS pronounced by the Court. Not only had the Court nett°' strained Mr. Kelly from publishing the Practical Builder,'*' cording to the terms of the order as there entered ; but tiPaw being asked what was to be done with quantities of letter-tre4 and copper-plates which were then prepared, the Court bactega. pressly stated, that the defendant had only to blot out the of Nicholson ; meaning, of course, that that being done, pit Kelly could publi s h an d se ll his book without further ranee ; whereas the order restrained him altogether from ing or publishing any of the letter-press or engravings Sn' sw had been prepared since the filing of the bill. The Loftin CHANCELLOR said, that the object of Ile junction was to retrain the use of Mr. Nicholson's name in t h e publication, b ecause t h at went in breach of his previous 'coy ll, , a ant with the pl a i nt iff: I t was with that view that the Cogs pronounced its order; and in doing so, had refused to role an account of the profits before the filing of the bill, besti rs Mr; Kelly could not h ave k nown of the former covenant ,"'" 4 he entered into an agreement with Mr. Nicholson. tif His Lordship said, that he thought that he had suillo qualified the last part of the order by the words "L ll ' s o manner," which stood before in the place of the word auvo o w the other words expressed in Italics, which words d e r . added with the consent of all parties to make the order LORD BYRON'S LETTERS. 1 10BHOUSE AND HANSON v.

The Lonn CHANCELLOR directed the affidavits t 0 b ° handed up to him, and observed, that although he could no t i o , after to-day in open Court, yet in this, and another to respecting th e Olamorganshire canal, he had no objek tl 1 1 %, give up a morning or two in t h e course o f t h e ten n ext calory to hear o ne counsel on each side, but he could not hear or, than qne counsel.
