Sii-,-.MARY Orr' NEWS AND Vittbitc eptitton. " Who runs may read.' FOREEGN. The King of the French and the Royal family were to take up their winter residence at the Tuile ries on Wednesday: Advices from Algiers to the Ist inst. have been re ceived in Paris, but bring no news of General I3u geaud's expedition, in which the Duke d'Aumale takes a part. It is currently stated that the disgrace of Lelievre, the hero of Mazagran, is certain, and that he had im • posed on the Minister of War by gross exaggerations of the defence of the place. The celebrated Vestris, for many years known throughout Europe as the first dancer at the Academy of Music, died at Paris on Monday, aged 83. During the last month, the amount paid into the Savings' Bank of Paris was 2,771,468 f. by 19,557 persons, of whom 2,513 were new depositors. The amount of reimbursements was 2,216,000 f. The new suspension-bridge which has been substi tuted for that called the Pont Rouge, uniting the Cite with the Isle St. Louis, is so nearly finished that it was submitted two days ago to the customary trial as to strength. The experiment was satisfactory, and the bridge will be almost immediately opened. It is made for foot passengers only. A discharged convict named Lauban was con demned to death on the 26th ult. by the Court of As sizes for the Meurthe, held at Nancy, for two distinct crimes of murder androbbery. At the Court of Assizes for the Eure, held at. Ey reux, on the 3d inst., a man named Dangeul was con demned to death for the murder, on April 19, at Pu teaux, near Paris, of a person named St. Omer, whom he afterwards robbed; and also for an attempt to mur der and rob on May 8, at Miserey, near Evreux, a woman named Deniot. A rich farmer, named Clavier, residing in the com mune of Ruffey (Jura), and who has 200,000 f. in the funds, was found, a few days back, murdered in his dwelling. A convict, named Pascal, condemned to hard la bour for life, lately escaped from the bagne of Brest. The next day a custom-house officer on half-pay, in the commune of Larnbezellac, was found pierced with six wounds given by this desperado. The Leipsic Gazette publishes a rumour that a partition of Turkey is already arranged ; Austria to take Moldavia and Wallachia, the Duke of Leuel lantz Constantinople with Turkey in Europe, and Russia to have Poland to the Bug. This journalist must be at a sad loss for rumours. PUBLIC OPINION. The Post alludes in the following desponding terms to the recent speeches of the Members for Somerset : —" We have again looked through the speeches of the Conservative Members for Somerset, upon which we commented yesterday. The object of our search was to find some avowal of some high principle of duty—some patriotic sentiment—some generous sympathy—some affectionate remark. Our search has been in vain. We find nothing that a heartless Whig might not have spoken. There is really no indication in the speeches of Mr. Acland and Mr. Dickinson, that they have any warmer feeling for the people of the county which they represent than a lecturer on some branch of science may be supposed to have for bis auditory. Mr. Acland said much upon the suhject•of " improvement" mingled with allusions to his own merit in having " come so great a distance" to attend the meeting at Yeovil, but nothing fervent —nothing kind or warm-hearted towards the farm ing people around him—does this gentleman appear to have uttered in any of his speeches. We implore the aristocracy and gentry of this kingdom not to let this be an example to them, but a warning. This substitution of the character of the schoolmaster for that of the kindly protector and friend is one of the vilest vices of Whiggery. The English people will not long endure it, nor is it to be wished that they should." In an article on the subject of parochial and na tional schools, the Chronicle observes :—" Attempts to proselytise are a portion of the religious freedom of this country which, in some degree, all sects enjoy, and to which the Church has incontestibly an equal right. But children, the children of parents of a dif ferent religious body, are not legitimate objects of proselytism. Great differences of opinion exist amongst the clergy as to the right of private judg ment, and a consequent freedom of choice, on matters of religion, even in adults. About children there can be no question. To proselytise them is disingenuous and cruel. The endeavour is a gross abuse of the influence bestowed by station and professional character. In the Church schools called National, so far as they are supported by subscriptions, and by legacies or endowments of which the conditions are restric tive, there is the right of as rigid an exclusiveness as the inspector pleases. The most formal certificate of baptism may, if it seem good to the authorities, be required. With parochial schools, and those sup ported by legacies and endowments, not restric tive, the case is different. To require a certificate of baptism becomes then an act of injustice. It robs the poor child of a right, of the most precious right which that child inherits—the right to instruction. It aims at enforcing a ceremony which is dese crated when only submitted to for the sake of an advantage that would otherwise be unjustly withheld. There is plenty of work for an inspector, in securing efficient instructien for the children, without wandering into these by paths of crookedness and bigotry. His duty is to see that all goes,on well in the national and parochial schools. What business has he with " reclaiming" the children in dissenting schools ? Nor can we deem the questions at all ju dicious, which relate to the training of children pro perly belonging to the Establishment. The public catechising in church during divine service is no very edifying exhibition. It tends to make the children vain of their memories, and bold; and as a test of intellectual comprehension or religious train ing, it is very worthless. Regular habits of attend ' ance en Sundays are, no doubt, desirable ; but why trouble the infants about fasts and festivals ?'" The Times says, with reference to the late prose cutions against one of the St. James's gambling houses :—" If gaining is, as Lord Abinger says, a pernicious vice, degrading in its moral effects, and prejudicial to the honest industry of the country,'—if Parliament has devised extraordinary remedies to put it down—why, then, any connivance on the part of Government at establishments for the practice of this vice must be a flagrant breach of duty. Governments in this country do not connive at it on principle; so much is clear; for, under every Government, we hear of the police using, and being directed to use, their ample power for the purpose of entering the inferior gaming-houses frequented by the lower orders of the people, and seizing and breaking up the tables, imple ments, money, &c.,found in such houses, and taking all persons detected in them before the Magistrates for punishment. Why is this done except upon theprinciple that gaming-houses ought to be suppressed ? But if Government do this on the principle that gaming houses ought to be suppressed, what can be a greater insult to the moral and common sense of the people, than the spectacle which presents itself to every one who walks down St. James's-street? Enter that street from Piccadilly, and the Palace of the Queen in your front is surpassed in magnificence by the pile on your right hand. Do you inquire what it is ? Every man in the metropolis, from the Queen's Prime Minister to the policeman on duty, and from the policeman on duty to the beggar who sweeps the crossing, can tell 'ou that it is, and has for many years been, the principal and most notorious ' hell in London—the place where more noblemen and legislators have been depraved, more ancient and honourable families ruined, more individuals fitted to adorn high stations plunged into irretrievable dis honour and misery, than in any other spot within the four seas. Not to know this, argues yourself un known.' Proceed a little further, and you come to another stately mansion, with a 'pervius usus,' not of any linen ccecceque fores; but of a large and highly decorated doorway, with lamp-posts in the most am bitious style of cast-iron architecture. This is ' hell the second'—the ' Junior St. James's Club House'— the lord-trap of Mr. Bond. Here it is that Lord Cantalupe and Marquis Conyngham, and the other ge ntlemen whose follies have been exposed by Mr. Smith, were victimised. Here, night after night, the hazard-table is spread, and the flies of fashion swarm into the bloodsucker's net." The Advertiser has the following remarks on the atrocious murders lately committed in Tipperary : "The origin of the occurrences, again tracing the annals of Tipperary with a finger of blood, is beyond all doubt in the nature of the relations subsisting be tween landlord and tenant. The horrible murders of Mortimer, Scully, and llaly, are manifestly the result, not of party spirit, not of religious animosity, and not of any interference on the part of the Conserva tive authorities to foment popular hostility to the ex ercise of the governing power; but really and di rectly attributable to the malignant influences of an agrarian system, which places whole bodies of pea santry at the mercy and the caprice of a possessor of certain allotments of the soil—to be dealt with as selfishness may dictate—to be racked for rent, or ruined by ejectment, just as the wants of extrava gant expenditure, or petty dissatisfaction on the part of the landlord, may suggest for actuating motives. To be superadded likewise to this is unquestionably the new Poor-law—a measure literally inciting to the very evils it was instituted under the profession of being calculated to remedy—a measure not only eminently foreign to the temperament of the Irish people, but an odious novelty even to the many evils of the general system already inflicted upon them —in fact, a measure involving a principle which no society aiming at progressively improving appe- tencies would ever adopt, so bad that to retain, where 'it had been in operation for even centuries, were only as an equipoise to other parts of an order of things of which evil were the predominant character. In this country, for instance, we may endure a Poor-law as a balance to the desolating ravages of a Corn-law ; a double evil, it may be urged, but of which the half is not to be got rid, without the whole. But in Ireland the imposition of a poor-law was unquali fied ill, not only radically abominable, but inappli cable and injurious in all its ramifications of conse quence. The swarming population of poor in Ire land could not be thrown upon the next class for relief, without bringing down that class to irreme diable pauperism. The sign, it was also the cause of national distress; and, instead of suffering from one grand fundamental cause—an over-competition for land where there is not so much land as demand for it—not so much soil as there are thousands of human population pressing upon it for more than it can yield of subsistence—a poor-law must be added to the miseries of the country, which, incapable of alleviating earlier oppressians,:,necessarily becomes an oppression itself, the most wantonly cruel and the most direfully calamitous. The %Vhigs take credit to themselves for appeasing the anguish of Irish grievan ces through a system less coercive; and the Tories vaunt themselves upon the merits of their ' strong Government' in suppressing the clamour of com plaint ; but if either had applied themselves to correct the radical evils of her condition, would such facts rise in judgment against them both, as those to which the whole south of Ireland is at this moment furnish ing testimony ? If in any part of the British domi nions, it is undoubtedly in Ireland, where the opera tion of enlightened principles of Government is wanted. It is there where statesmanship should go abroad. It is not so much education of the individuals of her sys tem that is required, as justice; and where not justice, wisdom in the political contingencies which affect the whole masses. There must be something wrong at the central base of her system, when such scenes are enacted upon her stage as these dreadful Tipperary murders." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. From the report of the City of London Association, held yesterday at the London Coffee-house, it ap peared that , the Committee had distributed from December to March amongst the poor inhabitants of the City 27,508 bushels of coals at a charge of 6d. per 841b5., and 385,1121b5. of potatoes, at a charge of 3d. per 141bs. The balancein hand was 3071.155. 6d. The Bank, it appears, is re-issuing at their full value, many of the old sovereigns. A private indi vidual was paid wholly in old gold coin last week, many of the sovereigns being of George 111. ; upon paying this sum into the saving's-bank of St. Cle ments, a deduction of 2s. Bd. s or 10. on each coin, was deducted for twenty out of the number. The Committee of the Polish Ball dined together last Saturday, at the London Tavern, in celebration of thessuccess of their benevolent endeavours. The net proceeds exceed 5001. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Regent's Canal Company took place at the Dock house yesterday. It appeared from the report that the balance of profit for the last half-year was stated to be 10,2041., and the amount of the reserve fund, 6,4001. TIIE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1842. NAVAL AND MILITAILY. The breakwater was towed on Tuesday to Dover, and afterwards secured to its station by four anchors. The conduct of the crews of British ships at foreign islands frequently brings down summary vengeance from the natives. The captain of the Oflley whale ship entertains no doubt that the fifteen men missing have been murdered in revenge for an insult - offered to their chief. The fate of the missionary Williams may be also traced to the conduct of a ship's crew which had previously visited the island. LITERARY aND SCIENTIFIC. Lady Calcott, whose death took place at Kensing ton Gravel-pits, had spent much of her life in travel. She was born in the same year as Lord Byron, 1788, and, before she was twenty-one years of age, was tra velling in India, the wife of Captain Graham. She visited all the remarkable spots of the three Presi dencies in 1809, and published an account of them in 1812. Some years afterwards she sailed for South America, having in the mean time resided in Italy, and published two works on that country in 1820. COURT-FASHIONABLE.

ALLEGED MURDER OF A JEW.—Considerable sen sation has been created in the neighbourhood of the Circus, Blackfriars-road, in consequence of the death of Mr. Nathan, a dealer in curiosities, who expired last night from the dreadful injuries he received from three persons at an auction-room in Great Marlbo rough-street, on the afternoon of Friday last. Three persons are in custody to await the result of a Coro ner's inquest. THE DUTCH IN JAVA.—The Dutch Government is expected to bring forward a project for building a town in the interior of Java, on the border of a river which is to be made navigable, or, if no natural site offered, a canal would be dug. The notion of se curity seems to have prompted this design, as it is thought that Batavia is in such a situation that it might easily. be taken by an enemy, who, finding him self in possession of this seat of the colonial govern ment, could easily reduce the rest of the island. The new city would, therefore, be the capital of Java, and the seat of government. —Bombay Times. Wheat. s. d. to r. d. s.

CONTINENTAL RAILWAYS.—We are i n f orme d that the works of the Paris and Rouen Railroad are so far advanced, as regards the contract of Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey, that it will certainly be ready for circulation by the end of April ; and that the only thing which could prevent its being then opened i to the public would be a delay n the supply of rails, which, however, is not appre hended.

ADULTERATION IN MANUFACTURED TOBACCO.— About three weeks ago a seizure of about four tons of adulterated tobacco was made by the Excise in Hud dersfield, by whom it was brought to this town. We understand that only about one-fourth part of the seizure was tobacco, the rest being rubbish of little snore value than 2d. or 3d. per pound. We are glad that the authorities have succeeded in detecting this wholesale fraud, not only for the sake of protection to the honest trader, but also from the gross robbery of the revenue which it has prevented. Proceedings have been commenced in the Exchequer against the guilty party.—Halifax Guardian.

The report of the Liverpool Cotton-market yester day, states business had been quiet, and that only 3,000 bales had found buyers, 200 of which were — Surat at 34d. to 4d.; .100 Bahia at 6+d. to bid. ; 150 Maranhain, at 54d. to 6+d. ; and the rest Ameri can at 4d. to 50. per pound. In the Share market there was a good demand for Grand Junc tion, Liverpool and Manchester, and Great Western, at full rates, but no change in the others. Eastern Counties,. New, were 10i • Grand Junction, 185 ; Great Western, Fifths, 91 ; Birmingham, Thirds, 634; Paris and Rouen 25+ ; and South Eastern, New, 18+. The advices from the United States by the sailing packet North America, are to the 19th ult. The market for State Stocks at New York did not seem to be improving, as the discredit into which they have so deservedly fallen in . Europe was much against their value in the eyes of the native capitalists, who speculate largely upon the chances of a profitable sale here or on the Conti nent. At Amsterdam, Louisiana Five per Cents. (Hope's Loan), have fallen 8 per cent , as no interest is expected to be paid next January, and never, per haps, was so sad a spectacle exhibited of a great na tion being sunk into utter degradation. by the growing popularity, of repudiation doctrines. The advices before us state that it is now pretty generally conceded on all hands, that the present crop of cotton will be the largest ever grown in the United States, say 2,200,000 bales, and may range as high as 2,500,000 bales. Financial affairs are now in such a state, that no interposition is made by suspended banks or visionary financiers to " sustain prices," or " hold for better prices." Neither does the absurd notion of financiers appear to operate, to the effect that Bank facilities are necessary to send the crop forward ; on the contrary, the re ceipts at the ports of the Atlantic have, up to this time, been immensely, greater than ever before, and the requisition -of specie in payment does not cheek its export. It flows freely to the market. The state of affairs in the British colonies offers no thing particular for comment, though Sir Charles Bagot's return is not considered at all improbable among parties in the City connected with Canada. A • Coinmunication froin Texas states that one of two things will happen there this winter—a formi dable invasion from Mexico•—or an acknowledgment of its independence. The Funds are still rather flat, with a minor bug ness doing. The purchase for the Savings' Banks has amounted to 5,0001. in the Reduced Th - ree per Cent. Annuities at 941, though 941 was at first asked. Consols have been done for Special Transfer at 95 to 951, with the dividend, and for opening' at 93+. The premium on Exchequer Bills is dull at 47 to 48 ; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 100+ to 101 ; Bank Stock has been more in request at 1721 to 1731. Annuities for Thirty Years are at 121. Being still without news from Barcelona, owing to the interruption by fog of the telegraphic communi cation with Paris, the Spanish Bonds are heavy at 18 for the Fire per Cents., and at 23 for the Three per Cents. Portuguese Converted Stock is worth 321. The Mexican Active Stock is neglected at 301. People are afraid to touch it, and what the Yankees will say now to Mexican good faith we may easily guess. Brazil Stock has been steady at 694 ; .Danish firm at 831 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock at 52+ to 53. The Share Market is very good.

LITERATURE. MIDSUMMER EVE. 3 Vol.. Saunders and Orley, London, 1842. There is considerable ingenuity evinced in this fiction, whose leading incidents are so contrived as to give the reader a very fair idea of the do mestic manners and prejudices of Londoners during the stormy period of the Reformation. The chef personage —or, at any rate, the, one who will most warmly excite the reader's inte rest—is a poor, blind, fatherless girl, by name Annot Palmer, who is represented at the outset of the story sitting by the way-side near the turnpike at Islington, like the lone figure spoken of in Scripture. Being a regular attendant on Sundays at the church of one. of the reformed preachers, she is discovered and attested by the furious Popish Bishop of London, Dr. Bonner, conveyed to his palace at Fulham, subjected to a rigid cross-examination as to the articles of her faith, in the presence of the Prelate, and several other Church dignitaries, and ultimately put to the torture as, a heretic and infidel. Exhausted with pain, she is next removed to one of the city churches, which is• used as a prison for refractory Lutherans; but the place of her confinement being fortunately discovered by a young man, Harry Markham, who had been the y innocent cause of her arrest, he resolves on obtaining her release, impelled to this determination by his affection for a lady of birth and fortune, Anne Granville, who had long been a kind friend and patroness of the blind' orphan girl. Markham's attempt is successful, Annot is liberated by stratagem from her con-. fine went, and the story concludes with her de-, parture, in company with her liberator, and several other persecuted Lutherans, from Eng, land for the shores of Germany. The characteF of this meek, patient, sweet-natured girl is sus» tained with great feeling and propriety through out; and with a skill, too, and a delicacy that proves the author to be well read in that " mys tery of mysteries," the female heart. Dr. Bonner is a portrait less felicitously executed; vigour it possesses, enough and to spare ; ,but we fear it is coarse to a degree exceeding the truth of history. The scenes in the prison in the first volume, where the high-minded old martyr, Dr. Maynard, administers the sacrament to his fellow-prisoners, are "admirably coloured ; and the description of the business at Stnithficld has an earnestness and reality about it, that might almost induce one to believie that it was an extract from the memoir of some contempo rary chronicler who was an eye-witness of the terrible spectacle. TWO - MEN COMMITTED UPON A CHARGE OF CON. SPIRACY TO MURDER.—TWO men, naitiad John Kavanagh and James Frrrell, of Rahanna, in this county, were arrested on the night of the 20th of November, by Mr. hill, sub-inspector, and a party of the eonstabulary fiom New Ross, after a most harassing march. They were brought before C. 11. Tuckey, R.M., and Major Sweeny, under a warrant from Richard Rathborne, R.M., and John Maher, Esqrs., and committed t o Carlow gaol, on" a charge of conspiracy to Murder Valentine Egan, steward to . Mr. Byrne, of Rosemount, county Wex ford.— Carlow Sentinel. ROBBERY OF THE CASTLECOMER MAIL.—On Wed nesday morning last, as the postpoy:was proceeding from Castlecomer to Ballyragget, with the Durrow and Barryragget mail bags, he was stopped by . two men,_ about two miles from Castlecomer, and deprived of the bags. On the return of the postboy to Castle comer, Sub-Inspector Green, with a party of the constabulary, proceeded to the spot, but could learn nothing that could lead to the discovery of the robbers. The bags were subsequently found on a limekiln near the spot ; one bag was untouched, and the other opened, but the letters sustained no injury. The mail was conveyed so Ballyragget, after the discovery of the bags by a mounted policeman.— Carlow Sentinel.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morn ing in this important case, the question in which arose under the will of Mr. Robert Mitford. The testator, after providing for the payment of his debts and lega cies, proceeded thus—" Ninthly, I will, devise, and be queath the remainder of m y p ro p er ty t o th e Govern ment of Bengal, for the express purpose of that Go vernment applying the amount to charitable, benefi cial, and public works at and in the city of Dacca, the intent being that the amount should be applied exclusively to the benefit of the native inhabitants in the manner that the Government might consider most beneficial." The first and main question was whether this was a valid charitable bequest; the money was to be applied, to charitable, beneficial, and public works. Now the question to be consi dered was, whether those words were to be taken distributively or conjunctively. Upon that point there could be no doubt; it was clear this was not the whole of the bequest, because the testator went on to say, that it was his intent that the money should be applied exclusively for the benefit of the native inha bitants of Bengal. Taking, therefore, the Whole to gether, the meaning and intent was, that the money should be employed upon works, by which his Lordship understood something to be constructed or established for the benefit of the native inhabitants of the city of Dacca, not for any particular class, but for all generally, rich and poor. His Lordship thought, that considering all the autho rities on the subject, this constituted a valid charit able bequest. In the case of Jones v. Weller, before Lord Camden, there was a bequest of 1,0001. for supplying Chepstow with water; there Lord Camden, considering the gift to be one for the benefit of the poor as well as rich, held it to be good, observing that such a gift had always been considered within the statute of Elizabeth as a good bequest. In the case of House v. Chapman, Lord Loughborough held that a similar gift to the city of Bath was a good bequest. In another case before Lord Eldon, the Botanical Gardens at Stockwell, by reason of the statement of the testator that he considered-it a public good, Lord Eldon thought it was, a charitable bequest, and void under the statute of mortmain. His Lordship, after referring to several other cases, stated his opinion to be that the bequest was good. It was unnecessary for his Lordship to advert to the statute of mortmain, as that had no application in India. Then with re spect to the objections that had been urged against the bequest; first, it was said it was difficult and uncertain to know what the testator meant by the native inhabitants of Dacca ; His Lordship apprehended that no person, having any knowledge of India, could have any doubt upon the subject—he clearly meant the native inhabitants, in contradistinction to the European inhabitants and the' a . descendants. Then it was said, how could w°"*j. cs b e exclusively for the benefit of the native inh- a bi tants ? In his Lordship's opinion, there rate at be many instances in which they could be SQ exclusively em ployed, such, for instance, as hospitals, baths, and gar dens. Another objection was, that it might be em ployed for idolatrous purposes —such as building tem ples for the worship of idols. Now the answer to ' that was obvious---the gift was for the benefit of the native inhabitants of Dacca, and this Court would not consider such an application for their bene fit, nor would any other Court. Now, as his Lord ship understood the Act of Parliament on which the Supreme Court in Calcutta was founded, that Court exercised an equitable jurisdiction, and doing so it would consider such an application impro per, and would control, regulate, and restrain it. It appeared to his Lordship that the mo ney being directed to be given to the Government of Bengal, it ought to be paid to the Governor, in order that it might be applied to the purposes contained in the will. But then it was said that the Court would not part with the funds, because they might be abused, as the overnor was subject to no control. This was a mistake, the Governor was subject to the control of the Supreme Court, the same as any other person, except where he was act ing as Governor in Council. In the present case he was acting as a private individual ; he was not re ceiving the payment, of this money in his public cha racter, and he Was therefore amenable to the tribunals of the country. Several other objections had been urged, tone of which, in his Lordship's opinion, had any weight. On the whole, therefore, his Lordship Was of opinion that, taking all the matters into consi deration, the gift was a good charitable bequest, free from any valid or legal doubt, and that the Court, therefore, was bound to direct the money to be paid over :to the Governor. The decree, therefore, of the Vice-Chancellor was a proper one, but as it was considered that the mausoleum which the testator had directed to be built for the interment of himself and sister was a charitable bequest, it being built as an ornament to the town near which it was placed, it would be necessary to vary that decree, for the purpose of identifying what the charitable bequest with respect to the native inhabi tants of Dacca was. The case was then ordered to stand for Monday, to be spoke to on further directions. IN RE SUISSE. On this motion being called on, Sir C. WETHERELL, on behalf of the executors of the late Marquis of Hertford, stated that since the case was last before the Court, affidavits had been filed on behalf of Mr. Suisse, which it would be necessary for them to answer unless his Learned Friend, Mr. Sharpe, on behalf of Mr. Suisse, was willing to agree to a proposition he would make, which was, that Mr. Suisse might have the remaining 1,5001. out of Court, provided he would give good security in England to restore it, if, upon a reference to the Master (which was to take place immediately), he should be found bound to do so. Mr. S. SHARPE on behalf of Mr. Suisse, could not consent to the proposal. After a short discussion, it was arranged that the motion should come on peremptorily the day after the next seal. VICE-CHANCERY--(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with motions of no public interest. COMMON PLEAS.—WEDNESDAY. GIBSON V. PHILLIPS. The following case occupied the Court for three days :—The nominal plaintiff is the assignee in the bankruptcy of Mrs. Birch, the widow of the late eminent coach-maker in Great Queen -street. The defendant is a lodging-house keeper residing in Mile end.road, and claimed to be a judgment creditor against the estate of the bankrupt to the amount of 5001. in moneys lent. The present action was brought under a feigned issue, to determine the good faith of the defendant's claim. The inquiry occupied the Lord Chief Justice and a special Jury nearly three days, and was not con cluded until a late hour on Wednesday evening. A great number of witnesses for the plaintiff detailed the facts which led to the bankruptcy of Mrs. Birch, and her transaction with the defendant and a solicitor, Mr. King, who was alleged by the plaintiff to be in con spiracy with the bankrupt and and defendant to de fraud the creditors. It appeared that the deceased husband of the bankrupt was a creditor of the late Duke of Kent, to a large amount, und the debt (5,0001.) was paid to the widow by her pre sent Majesty since her accession to the throne. Mrs. Birch employed her capital in estab lishing a boarding-house of the highest class, in St. James's-place, and subsequently in Bedford-place, Russell-square. In what way her embarrassments arose, did not appear in the evidence upon either side in this trial ; but the case for the defence was that, she had been for a long time in great pecuniary diffi culties, and was upheld mainly by the attorney, King, the defendant, and other compassionate friends. In the beginning of this year, the bankrupt, then residing in Bedford-place, and having good credit with a number of respectable tradesmen, furnished her house in a most expensive style, procuring a costly ser vice of plate from one person, and a hundred dozen of wine from others. In four days after the pur chase of the plate, the silversmith—one of the most extensive at the west-end of the town, was passing through Bedford-place, and as the locality was to him nearly as far east as to a late exquisite Secre tary to the Admiralty, he was inquisitive about the curiosities of the district, and seeing, by certain bills posted upon a wall, that at No. 15 a sale was then ac tually going on under an execution, and that plate and jewels were amongst the goods, he stepped in to see if there were anythi ng i n hi s wa y. The first lot put up, was a chest of plate, which bore upon the wain scot case his own name and mark. At the same time another person of the. same trade, Mr. Symonds, of Southampton-place, looked in at the sale, and also found a quantity of his goods, "going to go." The creditors, by the activity of the latter gentleman, were enabled to fasten upon a great portion of the property, and now a series of actions (of which the present is one) are of necessity brought, to determine whether the executions put in by the attorney King and the defendant Phillips, are not fraudulent, and the result of collusion with the bankrupt, to cheat the tradesmen who had so much confidence in her former respectability. The details of the evidence, although exceedingly provocative of laughter, whilst some of the witnesses were bearing testimony to their own guilt, would occupy more space than it is worth. The whole effect of it was to show, that at the very time when King and Phillips alleged they lent the money to Mrs. Birch, they were themselves in actual poverty. T p lie Jury interrupted th e J u d ge at t h e commence ment of his summing up, and found a verdict for the The wife of General Sale is the daughter of the late vicar of Puddletown, Dorset, the Rev. Mr. Winch. — Salisbury Journal. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) IN RE THOMAS PEER. The insolvent had been a coach proprietor upon the Oxford road, and attributed his insolvency chiefly to the railways. He was opposed by Mr. Dixon, the well-known horse dealer, for the price of two horses, which he bought from him shortly before his arrest.— Discharged. IN RE HARBOUR. The insolvent's petition to be discharged was op posed by Mr. Woodruffe on the grounds of unduepre ferer.ce. He was supported by Mr. Cooke. It appeared that the moment the opposing creditor commenced his action against the insolvent, the latter gave up certain property of which he was possessed, stating that it was in lieu of money borrowed from the person to whom the property was assigned. On a former day the person was examined, when he stated that he held the property only for the benefit of the insolvent. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS censured the insolrent's conduct, and said he should, when passing judgment, remand him for six months. Mr. Cooke said the unfortunate insolvent had met with a serious accident during the last week, having broken several of his ribs, and otherwise severely injured himself by a fall. Under those circumstances the Court deferred judgment until Monday, against which time affidavits might be put in verifying them. IN RE EDWARD NASH. - -CONTEMPT OF C9I/RT. In this case the insolvent had been committed to prison for attempting to strike Mr. Norton, ODt of the attorneys of the Court, while that gentleman was passing the box occupied by the insolvent in common with ther other prisoners, about a month ago. •Phis day he filed a petition in Court, in which he denied the several allegations upon which he was committed for contempt. Mr. Conimissioner HARRIS said it was well for the insolvent that he had not attempted to substantiate the assertions in his petition on oath, or if so, it was very probable that he would have laid himself open to an indictment for perjury. He should order the case to stand over. IN RE JOHN HENRY CAULFIELD. The insolvent was an actor at the Haymarket Theatre, the amount of debts which appeared in his schedule was only about 95/.. of which 454 was stated to be without consideration. It appeared that the insolvent's wif P, was also on the stage, and their joint salaries amor,nted to Si. a week. He had three children, beside", two his wife's family t o sup other members of Krt. In explanation of th e statement in his sehed:,.,ie without Collsideri.4.:ion he , that 451. of his debts was security in stated that he had becom e 1 / 7 :15 sum for a friend, to several loa n societies. 1 1,ut that he (the insolvent) never got a frac tion of the money thus raised. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, there were few things in his mind, which evinced more culpability than the reckless conduct of persons in becoming se curities to loan societies, of which so many instances occurred every week in that Court.. However, as there was no opposition against the insolvent, he should order his discharge forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) FORGERY.—Dr. Bailey was again brought up this morning before Mr. Hall and Lord De Montford, having been remanded from last Thursday on a charge of forging an I 0 U in the name of a Mr. Smith, the miser of St. Giles's, deceased, for 2,0001. Mr. Flower, and two other gentlemen, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. C. Jones for Dr. Bailey. Mr. Robert Tolcher was the first witness called, who stated he was a short-hand writer. He attended the trial of Bailey v. Smith in July last, in the Court of Common Pleas. He was retained to take notes on that trial. That action was brought on a promissory note for 2,8751., dated the 9th of September, 1841. In that action the prisoner was examined a►.. a wit ness. He produced the note. An I 0 U was also handed to the prisoner, then in the witness box. The prisoner swore that the signature to the promissory note was Smith. Mr. HALL here inquired if the several advocates wished the case to go to the next sessions, or to have another remand, in order that it might be tried at the January sessions. Mr. Jones, on the part of the prisoner, said that there would not be time to prepare Dr. Bailey's de fence for the next session. Mr. Flower, on the part of the prosecutor, said he did not wish to offer any objection. Mr. James Smith was then called, who stated that he lived in Jeffrey's-terrace, Camden-town ; was the brother, and administrator of the deceased, Robert Smith. The I 0 U produced was not the signature of the deceased. The promissory note produced was not in the deceased's writing. It was for 2,8751. The deceased lived in Great St. Andrew's -street, Seven Dials. The note was dated 9th September, 1841. The promisury note was a much better resemblance to the deceased's writing than the I OU, which was for 2,8751. The date of the lOU was Aug. 12, 1841. Several other witnesses were called to swear to the hand-writing of the prisoner. Mr. John Bealby was called to prove that to the best of his judgment the signatures to the promissory note and the I 0 U were tracings. After um° further evidence the prisoner was again remanded. The Court was very full during the whole examination. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Mary M'Donald, about 50 years of age, of squalid and extremely wretched appearance, was charged with having been found at eleven o'clock last night, lying insensibly drunk in the carriage-way of Silver-street, Golden- square. Police-constable 135, of the C division, vao took the prisoner into custody, stated that for several days and nights past the wretched woman had been wan dering about the neighbourhood in a continual state of intoxication. Mr. llAnDwicK inquired if she was known ?—The police constable said she was a married woman, and the mother of a numerous family ; but her intem perate habits had separated her from her husband. About three years ago, on the death of her mother, she came into possession of a very hand some p roper t y , co nsisting of 12 houses in Peter-street, Soho, in one of which the was now residing. The income she de rived from this estate she nearly wholly expended amongst a set of low drunkards ; and although she had a comfortable home (kept so by her children) to go to, she would for weeks together wander day and night about the streets. Within the last three months she had made three attempts to commit self-destruction. The first time she threw herself from off Blackfriar's bridge and narrowly escaped drowning. In the two other instances witness was called off his beat to the house where she lodged, she having thrown herself, head foremost, into the water-butt. On each occasion life was nearly extinct. Mr. HARDWICK said he knew not what to do with the miserable object before him ; it was useless to send her to prison, or to endeavour to reclaim her from the pernicious courses she had fallen into. The police constable had better take her home to her family. She was accordingly discharged. CLERKEN WELL.—(T 11 IS DAY.) Benjamin Bayley was charged with robbing the house of Mrs. Brandon, No. 29, Gower-street, of pro perty to the amount of 1501. It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Brandon is a widow lady residing in the a bove-mentioned place. In Spring last, she went to Paris, leaving the prisoner in charge of her house. On her return in May she found that her house, which had been splen didly furnished and fitted out at her departure, was .almost gutted of its contents. The bedding, carpets, hearth-rugs, and time-pieces had been all pawned at the pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood. The hair was taken out of the sofa cushions, which were stuffed with straw instead. The chairs were sold, and all the glass, china, in short, every portable article. On inquiry it was ascertained that the prisoner had been engaged in one continuous scene of riot and de bauchery with the lowest characters, from the time o f his mistress's departure until within a fortnight of ' her arrival, when he absconded ; and although three e i s n ta a b p li p s r h e m he en nd t in in g t i r d ac m in n g nt o il ut las tl t ie ni tr h is t oi w ie h r, en the h y e w as arrested in Tottenh am . of the detective police were constantly employed since failedtheir e, 7 The prisoner was remanded until Thursday, when Mr. COMBE said he would commit him for trial. BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES.—This morning, after the fog had somewhat cleared off, the body of a young man, apparently of the an of 20, was disco vered floating on the surface of the water, near Shad well Dock. The Thames police were apprised of the circumstance, and the deceased was conveyed ashore, and the pockets examined; in one of them was found 3s. 9d. in silver and halfpence, and also a silver-mounted tobacco pipe. The deceased appeared about 6 feet in height, dressed in ablue striped shirt, blue jacket, double-breasted waistcoat, worsted drawers, and shoes. Notice has been sent to the Coroner, Mr. Baker, for an inquest. NAVAL I NTELLIGENCE.—GIBRALTAR, Nov. 24. Tier Majesty's ships Cambridge, 78, Captain E. Bar nard, and Warspite, 50, Captain Lord J.
