Its peculiar features and advantages are as follow :—it contains TWO Prizes of £30,000. TWO Prizes of £20,000. and many other Capitals, together with the much-approved plan first introduced by lIAZA RD and Co., of giving .C$ to every Number ; so that there are in fact NO BLANKS ! Two of the Capital Prizes are in 3 'per Cent., but HAZARD and Co. hereby engage to pay the Fortunate Purchasers at their Offices £lOO Money for every £lOO Stock. Another advantage, highly favourable to Purchasers, is the opportunity offered of obtaining all the Capitals drawn on the 16th of DECEMBER, at a trifling Risk, as £lB WILT, BE RETURNED, an ,time before the 26th December, for every Whole Ticket, .and In pmertion for Shares;- therefore no Purchaser can lose more than 41. 19s. by a Whole Ticket, or 9s. 6d. by a Sixteenth, and on the same scale for every other Share, though he may gain Twenty Thousand Pounds, or more, and somebody must pin that sum, at least, on the 16th December, as the Two First Prizes will have Twenty Thousand each, and 1,000 other Prizes will be drawn. Such are the outlines ofthis attractive Scheme, which induce Ilazatty and Co. to anticipate'an unpre cedented demand, as they can with perfect confidence recom mend it as one•of the best Schemes their old-established House ever presented to the Public.

VINC/lIIISTEIt, Nov. 17. This day , HENRY REVEL RE - Yr.:o[3)R, Esq. the • Chief Commissioner, appointed under 5 Ceo. IV. c. 81, held his first sitting in the Crown Court, at the County Ball, for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. Only three persons of this descrip. lion presented themselves, and each of them was opposed. The first ease entered Into was that of Isaac Fountain, a showman, who was opposed by Mr. Missing, sen. on behalf of the assig nees of Joseph Bell. It appeared that Mr. Bell was the mas ter of a vessel trading to the AVest Indies, and had, when abroad, become possessed. of a little girl, a native of Cuba (described as a white negress), and brought her to Guern sey. Be entered into a contract with the insolvent, the terms of which were that he should have the child on certain terms, for the purpose of exhibiting about the country for three years, and then to he returned to Bell, the bankrupt. The insolvent had, at the time of signing the agreement, paid two months in advance, but nothing since, and it was now con tended, that he had fraudulently withheld the profits arising from the exhibition. According to Fountains statement, the speculation was not a very profitable one, and he disclaimed all knowledge of the present situation of the girl, or any direct or indirect participation in the profits of the exhibition. Evi dence was called to prove that the exhibition was well attended, but nothing was elicited as to the actual profits. The Commis sioner strongly questioned the moralty of such a contract—the moral principles of two persons covenanting for the exhibition of an unfortunate fellow creature in the public streets, and at fairs were very questionable, and before an application for de priving an individual of his liberty is acceded to, it was indis pensably necessary that the party tasking it should come into a Court of Justice with clean hands: this was not the case ; the compact was contra Laos mores. Mr. Missing " alluded to the case of the King v. Dunlop, re specting the Hottentot Venus," to 'thew that the contract was tenable; but the Commissioner decided that the cases were not analogous ; and still thinking it a most immoral and indecent exhibition, he should not remand the insolvent ; of this the assignees had no reason to complain, for they could not expect to be placed in a better situation than the principal himself. The insolvent was then directed to certify on oath, under his own hand, that he had no interest or property in any show what, ever, which having been complied with, the Commissioner ed. dressed him as fellows :_" Isaac Fountain,—The peculiar situation in which yon stand before the Court is of such a na ture, that I do not feel myself justified, under the provisions of the Act of Parliament, in remanding you ; but if discharged it will not be on account of your own merit, but by rea son of' the original party in this transaction (Bell) hav ing as much demerit as yourself, and because of a defect of evidence, though there are strop}, suspicions respecting the appropriation of the property over which you exercised a con troul. Recollect, however, that if what you have this day stated shall subsequently turn out to be untrue, you w ill be liable to be indicted for perjury, have your discharge revoked, to be again committed to prison, and further be subject to an indictment for a misdemeanour, and, on conviction, may be imprisoned three years, and kept to hard labour during that period. If at a future time you should be in a situation to par your debts, your creditors can call upon this Court to assist in the recovery of them." The insolvent was then dis charged. The discharge of a debtor, named Boghurst, detained for a debt of 241, due to Mr. ;;hotter, was opposed, on account of having omitted to state in his schedule that he had, in right of his wife, a reversionary interest in some premises and land at ' Buckland. The Commissioner directed that the omission should he supplied, and the insolvent. discharged, observ ing that the circumstance of this being the only claim upon him was strong presumption of the absence of any design of fraud. James Hayter was opposed, in person, by the Rev. Richard Wilbraham Ford, a creditor, on the ground of a fraudulent preference. It appeared that a person named Burton had lent the insolvent 951. at three separate periods for which he had given notes of hand; Hayter subsequently gave a bill of sal e of all his effects to Burton, receiving back the Lilts. It was attempted to be shown that these bills were not given for a bona fide consideration. Burton not being in a situation to lend mo. ney ; of this however no proof was adduced. Another ground of objection was that a sum of' money had been paid on the 21st out of the proceeds of the sale, for rent, which was not due till the 29th of Se ; thereby injuring the other creditors, by depriving them of the increased dividend which a division of the money would have produced. The Commissioner saw no reason for remanding the man, no proof had been given of Burton's inability to lend die money, and the insolvent had sworn positively to the receipt • of the various sums for which the bills were given. Then as to paying the rent a few days before it was due, the insolvent was not privy to that transac tion ; he should therefore order him to be discharged. We observe that it is the practice of this Court not to allow atomics to examine insolvents when barristers are present ; but a creditor may personally exercise that privilege. SUN. MONDAY EVENING,STOVEMBER 22, , 18+24. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY; Nov. 20. IN THE MATTER OP THE PUCKERIDOE CHARTTY. Lady Puckridge, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, had de. wised, under trust, the means of this Charity, which was devot ed to the relief of widows and orphans; hut, by lapse of time, it was apprehended that corruption and abuse had thwarted the design of the founder, and the Court had directed the Master to inspect the accounts, who thereupon reported that the accounts were fair and accurate, from the first ►late down to the present time. Ile was then directed to amend his report, and declare clearly to what widows and orphans the funds were available— namely,' those exclusively of the parish of Hartley, in which the establishment was placed, or other widows and orphans living out of the parish. The aster reported in favour of the larger number ; and the order of the Master of the Rolls issued in pursuance of that report. The present p,:tition was an appeal from the order of the Master of the Rolls. Mr. Balm:Eft took an objection as to the jurisdiction. The 52d George 111., under which the slaster of the Rolls had made his order, empowered either of the Courts of Chancery, or the Chief Baron, or the Master - of the Rolls, to hear these cases of charitable uses and trusts, and togiye orders thereupon in a summary way; and appeal from such orders was-express ly disallowed, unless brought within :two years from the date thereof. The appellants, by, lapse .ast*, were therefore put mat of maim Mr. lion NE warmly objected to this unheard-of objection, brought out of a recent Act of Parliament, to the long-settled jurisdiction of the CoUrt. The Lour Cil A NCELLon did not recollect having heard the objection in any previous case, and must theretbre inspect the Act and the cases again. The power of the several Courts to hear and determine these cases in a summary way could not be doubted ; but in his opinion the suitor would iind it his in terest to proceed by the ordinary way of a bill. His Lordship then rose, having to attend the King upon the Recorder's Re port. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, N0v.20. _ DOLBY AND ANOTHER V. LOWNDES. At the rising of the Court, Mr. AGAR moved for an injunc tion that the defendant should be restrained, by the order of the Court, from publishing and selling a new edition of Row. ley's play of A New Wonder, a Woman nem. Vex!, under the title of the revived version of the same play which is now act ing at Covent-Garden. Mr. Manche, who was a plaintiff in the bill, had altered the old play in various respects; and among other things he had inveuted a new title for it—that of A Il< ot. soon never Veal, or the Widow of Cornlall. llis alteration had been successfully played at Covent-garden, and he had sold the copyright of it to Air. Dolby, the other plaintiff: The latter had published the copy he had so purchased, hut he found that its sale would be materially injured, and his hopes of profit disappointed, owing to the defendant's having pub lished the old play with the altered title. This was unques tionably an infringement on the property of Mr. Dolby, because the title wax that which marked the distinction between the play published by him, and that which had been in the world fornearly two centuries, and become the property of any body. It was, moreover, a fraud upon the public; because Mr. Lowndes edition purported by its title-page to be—what in fact it was not—the play acted at Covent-garden. The N r ien-Citaxee.s.ou asked if 4te defendant had copied any p'trt of the altered comedy. Mr. Ac an said, that besides the title-page he had copied the characters as they are now played. In every other respect, Mr. laowndcs's edition of the comedy was like all those which had been published before. The VicF.-Citaxcer.l.Ell thought that it would be better for the Plaintifrsto amend their bill, and to make the prayer include both the points mentioned by the counsel—by praying that the defendant should be restrained from publishing the old comedy witli the new title. The application might be re. newed on Nlonday. Mr. Arran acquiesced in this suggestion, and said he would move agsin.on Alonday. - RING'S BENCH, Nov. 20. TU C E O K II I I N I G T V. THE MAYO/t of coLcilEsTEn. Mr, JEssor moved for n wian(? , tutas, commanding the Mayor of Cuklzestrr to swear Mr. Hor a tio Perkins as a free burgess of that corporation. Mr. Perkins was expressl y named In the recent charter as a Co mmon -councilman, and upon a motion for a quo warrant() against him for acting as a free bur. gess, the Court were of opinion that be bad a nght so to act. The Mayor, however, refused to administer the oath to him as a burgess, which he claimed in order to enable him to vote' for corporate officers. The Cottwr, however, refused to grant the writ. It was as a Common-councilman that Air. Perkins acquired whatever rights he possessed, and he was only to take the onmon-coun cilman's oath. Ile could not therefore, claim to be sworn as a burgess. At half-past twelve the LORD Csi* JusTice left the Court to attend the Privy Council, and Air. .lustice LITT Lt.:- DALE retired tp sit at Nisi Prim. in London, where nothing occurred of public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 20. HAIIIITSOWy. STONE, OENT., OWE OF Tun. ACC Mr. Seroant VA IT aIIAN moved for a rule to show cause why the defendant, who is an attorney, residing in the neighbour hood of Gloucester, should not pay back to the plaintiffil a cer tain sum of money which he had received from them ; and why he should not render them an account of the proceeds of certain property which he had sold on their behalf. . The Learned Ser geant said that he made this appli cat i on u p on affidavits, which dischased circumstances of a very extraordinary nature. Th e plaintat who carried on business i n the neighbourhood of Glo cester, applied to the defendant for his professional assistance in consequence of their labouring under some apprehensions of being arrested for a debt which they owed to a third party. The defendant told them that before he could undertake their busi nest' it would he necessary for them to advance hi nt 170/. T he plaintiffs endeavoured to rinse that sum for hint; butnotbeing able to procure it, placed 100/. in the defendant's hands, and exe cuted an assignment of all their property to two persons whom he Procured to become bail for them. Of thesepersons one was the defendant's own clerk, and the other a mere man of straw. The debt had since been satisfied,. but the defendant refused to return the money which he had received from the plaboitiii, or to tender them any account of what he bad done with it. Under these circumstances', the . plaintiffs appealed to the smothery power of the Court, and he trusted that-- The COURT here stopped the learned Sergeant, and told him that the matter he had stated was quite sufficient to induce them to grant the rule for which he had moved. SCOTT v. n 1 t;. - - - In this case a debt of fifty-one shillings had been recovered in the Court of Requests; and a writ of false judgment was sued out and made returnable in the Court of Common Pleas, where the matter was urgued at Considerable length. Th e Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, in deliv ering Judgment, ob. in the statute by served, that a Court of common law had no jurisdiction over a th, l e tic d l e t c i i : i w on as s of co t n h s e ti eA tu ) t u e r tl, o w f a i s te c g a t iret tB l , a W C l o li u e r b or Equity. ills Lordship expressed great satisfacti o n that the Court had no such jurisdiction, as otherwise litigious parties wo u ld d e f eat t h e be. nevolent intention of the Legislature in institutin g the Court of Requests, by appealing to Courts of L aw . T rest of the Judges of the Court concurred in this opinion. Besides altering the broad road from Charing.. cross, in front of the Admiralty, Sri., anti on to the Horse Guards, by Macadamising the immetise !pa ce , t h e ” aveme _ n. from Charing-cross to Whitehall, previou s ly of ' Consider : able width, is undergoing extensive alterations anti amend nimbi. Alen are busily engaged in widening it, ad di ng to the width of the pavement in many Places as much as five feet; it is also being raised, to be more on a level with the road, and to give the pavement more unif orm i ty ; w hil e that by the Admiralty, however, on the opposite side 'of the way, is being lowered from the like cause, anti at the same time usefully widened. The road is i n a sad , dirty condition, especially in front of the Government Offices.— In addition to divers hills of broken stones, which, to be sure, will be used in promotion of the Alacadamzing ope rations, there are diverse very unpieturesque mounds of mud, which may not be requited for such works, but which, nevertheless, contribute to suppl y w i t h mu d t h e already surcharged streets, the Strand, &c.„ in the neigh bourhood; and in front of the Admiralty there is a Capa cious lake of some depth of water. which May be ornamental to and emblematio of the Naval department, but which is not very commodious or sightly to the public. Surely these things might be ordered better. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER. CORONER'S INQUEST.--Satutday, at half-past eleven, an Inquest was held at the Horse and Groom, -West-street, \Ve letas, on the body of Caroline Dcwhurst, a child two years old, who was murdered by her father on Thursday morning. The Jury went to No. 16, Brenti-place, the residence of th e prisoner. The body of the child was lying in the room in which it was murdered. It was covered with bruin is, and the face and head presented a most horrible. -spectacle, being one mass of bruises. In various parts of the room were marks of blood. The Jury, while viewing the body, betrayed horror at the shocking scene. Mrs. Adams (the first witness) deposed, that on Wednesday evening last, about five o'clock, Mrs. Dcwhurst came to her house, and begged that she would accompany her to bar house, as her husband was in a passion. - Witness went with her, and knocked at the door, which was opened by Mr. Dewhurst ; he was then without his hat, and his hair stood apparently on end; his looks were those of a crazy person. Mrs. Dewhurst asked him for her bonnet, but he refused to give it her, and he then attempted to kick her, and struck her a blow on the breast. Witness then observed him enter the coons below stairs where the child was lying, take it up in his arms and walk up stairs with it. Mrs. Dewlmrst desired witness to watch him. At this time the street door was shut against them, and she observed Mr. Dewhurst came down stairs without the child. Witness stood at sonic distance from the house wstcbing him, and oh ' served bins come out of the house; on p a ssing witnesshehieked at her stedhstly, and walked up . to the top of Ltronti-place.— Witness then went in search oflum, in company with his wife : and after having visited all the public houses in the neighbour hood, could neither see nor hear any tidings of him. At length Mrs. Dewhurst, with her eldest boy, found her husband,. who was then at a public house in East-lane. AfterwardS Mrs. D. went to witness's house, and from thence to her own house . In -a little time slrs. D. returned, saying, " Oh Mrs. Adams ! God's sake come with me, my husband is beating one of the children." She at this time had one ()flier daughters with her. Shortly after a watchman came and mentioned that he saw no light in the front room, and that he believed, ?,Ir. Dewhurst was not in die house. The witness and Mrs. Dcwhurst again proceeded to Ilronti-place, and having previously heard the cries of a child, as if in pain, she went for Mr. Swift, the sur geon, and they all went up stairs, and in the front room they were horrified upon seeing the infant lying in a corner of the room completely covered with blood. It was quite naked, and the face and head appeared as if dashed against the wall. Mr. Dewhurst was, at this time, standing in the middle of the room without his coat on, and the sleeves of his shirt tucked up. He, in answer to their questions as to the shocking state in which the child was, replied, " that it had fallen down stairs, and that he had done the hest he could for it." In answer to a question from a Juror, witness said that she observed no marks of blood on the stairs. Witness continued.—Dr. Swift then expressed a wish to exa. mine the child, in which, however, he met with considerable opposition from the father, who insisted that he should quit the house. Witness got hot water, with which the infant was bathed, and the blood cleansed from the body. She remained sitting up the whole night, and left the house about 4 o'clock ; she then went home, and returned about 11 o'clock, when she saw the unfortunate infant expire. Here she became so dread fully agitated that she was unable to proceed for some time; at length she went on to depose that when she expres se d h er horror at the sight, Mr. D. calmly replied —" That do you mean by such a sight ?" A t this time there were several watch men in the house; and Mr. D. observed, on seeing the street. door open-" Shut the door, I don't wish the neighbours to be disturbed." The witness said that she knew Mr. D. about 3or 4 months since; she had had a child of his to nurse. _ In answer to questions from the Jury, witness said that Mrs. D. had come to her house before upon being alarmed by her husband's threats. The witness also said, that during the time she had Mr. newborn% child to nurse, frequently, when that Lady went to visit it, she chewed marks of violence to witness, which, she said, she had received from her husband, who, she also said, had often mentioned to her that he (Dewhurst) had an antipathy to the deceased child. Mary Ann Adams, daughter to last witness, deposed that she Went by desire aiher mother to Mr. Dewhurt's house, sad was there from e i g ht t o e l even o ' c l oc k. S aw the deceased in a back room lyi ng on t h e fl oor , covere d w i t h .x piece of blanket.— Mrs. Dewhurst came up stairs and said, don't touch the child, she will cry. Witness afterwards left the house. Other witnesses corroborated the above evidence in most par. ticulars. Mr. John Swift, surgeon, of Newington, sworn.---On Wed. nesday morning I was called by Mrs. Dewhurst and Mrs. Adams, who requested I would come to Mr. Dewhurst's house immediately. She said she thought her husband was tipsy, and had lam upon the child anti suffocated it, and she was afraid it was dead.. I went with her to the house, and en. tered a back room up stairs, and saw Mr. Dewhurst standing in the middle of the room, in a violent alteication With two watchmen. Mr. Dewhurst asked me what I wanted there ? I told him I came to see his child. lie said he would be cursed if I should see it. 1 told him, if he did not treat me with civi lity, 1 should quit his house. On looking about the room I saw the child ; it was then ;dire, anti covered over with a rug. I took it off; and, on seeing the child's condition, 1 told Mr. Dewhurst, that if he did not sit down an d conductlimself pro. perly while 1 examined it, I should give him in charge. Ile swore he would not, and 1 gave him in charge, and he was taken down stairs. I then examined the child, and found considerable violence had been used upon the thighs, Je f fs, arms, and particularly alon g th e s pi na l co l umn an d b u ttock. '1 le whole ex ternal part of the head and l ac e wer e amass of violence, which was of recent infliction. On looking round the room, I saw seve_ vend large patches of blood on the floor, and some of them had the appearance of' being just wiped up with a piece of flannel petticoat, w hi c h lay on die ground, quite bloody. There was a quantity rn of u b t l h oo e d iloo on r, tl w ie ia s i k s ir o t m in e g. l l l i tn tliaalatln, chair,ainlad hair I a n ta t t l as i kc e ieli wall to , t l i. i: o u wl t a yard went down stairs, and ordered a warm bath to be prepared, and seeing Mr. Dewhurst sitting on it had happened. He said he had done nothing to the child, and that the bruises on the face were caused by its falling down stairs some days before. 1 asked him fur a candle, and he said he knew nothing about housekeeping or candles, and he could do very well if he had not a rogue of a wife. lie s a id h e knew that he had done something that would hang him. Mrs. Dewhurst said that her husband had had two candles, and in his fury she supposed he had destroyed them. Th e little candle I had at first, having burnt out, I was kept an hour with ou t a light or tire. 'When I procured a li g h t and hot water, I put the child into a bath, and it tuts then in a dying state. The pupil s of the eye were dilated, an d i t appeared-to labour under compression on the brain. It was affected with rattling 'in the throat, and continued in that state till eleven o'clock, when it died. This evening I opened the head, in company with an.' oth rtw v e i twelve ounces oncit;s thef belxotoderriannl the er bra t in e , a i nand l c rn or a r n e . spo l n b i n u g n dnt marks e of violence surface of the skull. The pressure of the blood on the brain caused death. There was sufficient external violence to cause death. I found in the middle of the room a leather strap, about a foot and a half long, and 'an inch and a half wide, and a quatter of an inch thick, upon which there were marks of blood. The Connwrat addressed the Jury, he said, that the child had died from the most extraordinary violence committed on her person, was a fad beyond dispute, and it Only remained for the Jury to say who was the person or perions who comf mined it. The Jury retired for a few minutes, and, on our re-admission, the Foreman read from a paper the following verdict We Are of opinion that the Child was killed by the violence o f i ts father, llewhurst." • The CORONER bound over the witnesses to give evidence on the trial at Kingston, and issued his warrant against the accused. The following very singular circumstance oc. curred recently on the farm of Mr. Chatfield, at Horton, near Steyning. His men engaged in the pursuit of the plough, while taking their lunch in the field, placed their horses under a hedge to graze, but where they had. not long been, before it was observed that the tongue of one of the horses exhibit ed an unusual extension from ity mouth, and it was so much swelled that it could not be returned to its -natural position, suppose►l to have been caused by the bite of a viper, whose venom was so active and powerful in its operation, that it baffled the veterinary aid that was called in, and the animal (a Valuable one) soon died from its effects, apparently in great pain, and with its bead swollen to nearly three times its natural size.—( Kent Herald.)

I think that if ltts is mistaken, some Canihridge man should step forward to shield PALLY from this severe attack, for • it certainly deserves some further notice. Either the Law of Honour, as stated by PALEY, can be defended or it cannot ;--in either case, it becomes that University in which PALEY'i book is so • Murk read and studied, to measure the ground on which this charge has been These are not the times when false principles of morality should be inculcated at our public Seminaries ; and. if 44 the Law of Honour," us stated by PALEY, is but another name for Fashionable Vice, let it. not any longer be dis guised under the forms of scientific dignity ; at any rate, it is proper that the question should be fairly debated, and at no time can this be done with greater prosperity than when so many are suffering from what the world still calls " honour. able men.".
