LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCVLLOR. was prevented by urgent official business from coming to Court this day and giving his promised judgments. His lordship, however, intimated that he would do .so tomorrow. ROLLS COURT. His Honour the MASTEa of the Ror.r.s was this morning occupied in the hearing of the ...cause Jefferies versus Smith. No less than eight Counsel were engaged in it. The question at issue is one of very considerable inte rest as it affects partnership concerns. His Hon our intimated that the case was one of very great importance, and would require time to consider every point before giving judgment.—His Ho -.moult ordered petitions further directions, causes by consent, nod cause petitions, to he set down for hearing to-morrow. ItO VAL ACA DEM Y. Last Wight Mr. GRE - EN, the Professor . of Ana corny, continued his course for the instruction of the students. In his preceding lecture he had described the bones of the Crunk, that part of the body which includes the viscera neces asry to life. lie now proceeded to describe the upper and lower extremities, the proper knowledge of which is so necess a ry to the artist. As wh a t th e l earne d P r ofessor said upon this sub ject was too technical to be interesting to general readers, we shall only notice the principal points. After pointing out the general correspondence between the upper and lower ex tremites, he proceeds to show how the upper, from lightness and the freedom of articulation, is adapted to great mobility, while the lower, from the massiveness of the parts, the firm ness of the joints, and the strength of the muscles and ligatures, is excellently fitted for local motion and the support of the body. In describing the upper extremities, he made an obser vation which cannot he too often impressed on the recollection of. yoing artists—namely, that the longitudinal edge of the scapula is not parallel to the spine, and that as the arm moves upwards, the lower angle of the scapula is removed farther from the vertebral column, and is approximated to it as the arm is lowered. He touched upon the varieties oi*the clavicle and scapula in different animals, and remarked on the precision with which the uses of bones might he inferred from their forms. No one had carried this study so far as the celebrated Cuvier of Paris, who, in examining the fossil remains of the antediluvian world, inferred what the form. of animals must have been merely from an examination of the teeth. In speaking of the hand, Mr. Green observed that an eminent philosopher had regarded the structure of that part of the human body as the cause of the superiority of man over other animals. This opinion was erro neous; the hand he considered as the instrument only. Intel lect directs the hand and gives the superiority. With regard to the lower extremities, we must confine ourselves to one or two observations, which we consider important. In refutation of the strange opinion which some writers have adopted, that man was originally a quadruped, Mr. Green referred to the play of the head of the thigh bone in the acetabulum or socket. He explained how the ball which forms the head of that bone, acquires a position in the socket, when a man is upon all lours, very different from that which takes place in other ani mal ; weight of the human body in that position being thrown on the ridge of the acetabulum, which is not adequate to its due support. In describing the ancle and foot, he pointed out the great advantage derived from the arched formation of the tarsus. That structure, he observed, gave free play to the muscles, and prevented the blood-vessels from being com pressed so as to impede the circulation. As the weight of the body principally rests on the tarsus, the arch is favourable to Its support, and from the springiness of the arch is of great advantage in leaping and vaulting, as well as in common walking. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. I.—We understand that the Attorney- Geneml has already commenced a canvass for the representa tion this University at the ensuing general election. It is Stated in a London Paper, that should Lord Palmerston de cline, Mr. Robinson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, will offer on the Catholic interest. Had the Right Hon. Gent. no higher pretentions to the honour of representing the University than his support of the Roman Catholic question, his chance of success would be very slight indeed, the great majority of the University having :so decidedly declared its opinion of the danger of granting political power to the Papists.— The names of several other candidates are mentioned, but we know not upon what authority.—The select preacher at St. rdary's Church for the present month is the Reverend Dr. Wait, of St. John's College.—J. M. Norman, M.A. of Tri nity College, has been called to the bar by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's Inn.—The Earl ofAlbernarle has been pleased to ap point the Reverend Gooch Fowell, M.A. one of his Lordship's domestic Chaplains, to be perpetual Curate of St. Mary's, in Thetford ; and the Mayor, Burgesses, and Commonalty of the said borough, have appointed the Reverend G. Fowell to he Preacher of the aforementioned Church, and Master of the Free Grammar School and Hospital, in Thetford, according to the last will and testament of Sir Richard Fuluterston, and the Act of Parliament founded thereon. DESPERATE AND FATAL DUEL.—A letter from Ailayence states, that the 16th inst. furnished a duel which offers an extraordinary example of animosity. A Prussian officer and a student were at. a ball at Wisbaden ; the latter trod un intentionally upon the foot of the former; when the ball was over, the officer expressed his anger to the student, who replied that he had already begged his pardon, and now renewed his apology. The officer, not being satisfied, proposed a duel, which was accepted, and pistols were agreed upon. The officer stipulated that the combat shout(' not terminate without a serious wound, or the death of 'one of the combatants; he fired first, and missed ; the student had the same fate. They loaded again ; and four or five times the event was the same. At the fifth discharge, the officer having missed his aim, the student fired', and stretched his adversary on the ground, the ball having passed through both temples.— (Mode.) ROME, Nov. 16.—The celebration of the Jubi lee has brought to light the facts of a frightful crime,.which.perhaps would otherwise never have been discovered. A young lady, of the city of Assir.e, having inherited. a large fortune from her mother, was .sought: after in marriage by several persons,'buther father, knowing that if she were once settled in matrimony, he would lose the usufruct and administration of her property, con ceived the resolution of effecting her disappear ance. Aided, therefore, in his horrible project, by ix muoo,, maid .era suit, he conducted the lady to a lonely house in the country, and shut her up in a room, the door of which he had built up, -leaving only a small aperture, through which the said servant occasionally served her with the coarsest kind of food. In this situation the un fortunate youny„ , woman had been for ten years, -subsisting on the most wretched and scanty al 'lowance. But, on the approach of the Jubilee, the wretched father found himself the victim of -the most excruciating remorse, and, as the best atonement for his wickedness, he made a public declaration of his diabolical proceeding. The .first care on the part of the Authorities of Justice, on hearing the affair, was to send immediate relief Ito the young lady. The first words she uttered, on being released from her dreary confinement, j ,rwere j ".Do not injure my father." BRITISH GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. In consequence of an ad vertieement in the daily papers, calling a me e ti ng o f t h e P ropr i etors of the British Gas Light Company, several gentlemen attended at the Auction Mart, in Bartholomew-lane, yesterday ; the object of the meet ing, as stated in the requisition, was to take into considera tion the answer of the Directors to a resolution passed at a meeting of some gentlemen, whose shares had been declared forfeited, because they had not paid up their deposits on the last call. At the our tppointed (one o'clock precisely) there were about 20 persons in the room, but not one of them seemed to know why they were there, or what was to be done, and some were led to think that it was altogether a hoax, an opinion which received apparent confirmation by a written paper being put over time fire-place, containing these word.:—" The British Gas Light Company met, and adjourned sine die." The trick, in part succeeded, for many went away on the instant ; amongst the number were some reporters for the daily press. However, the placard was soon committed to the flames, and in a few minutes after, Mr. Fenton, of Austin-friars, who, as Solicitor to the complaining parties, caused the advertisement to be published, came into the room, accompanied by ieveral others. Mr. Ilona - te e an original Proprietor, .begged to know from whence the requisition emanated; and what was the object of the meeting ? Mr. FENTON replied that it, came from him, on behalf of such shareholders as the Directors thought proper to say had forfeited their claims' upon the Company. The meeting was intended for such alone, and all other persons might retire. Mr. HORNE contended that, as a subscriber to the British Gas Light Company, lie had a right to be present. A long and rather warm discussion took place on this point, and it was finally agreed that, as no Chairman would be ap pointed, all that pleased might remain. Mr. Vie; e: us then stated that this meeting had been con vened with the view of getting some information on the situa tion of the Company. A Shareholder—Mr. Vigers is not a subscriber, therefore can have no right to demand any investigation. Mr. %TIGERS said he appeared there for his daughter, Miss Vigers, who was a holder of several shares; and, as he believ ed, a parent could not be denied the right of protecting the pro perty of his child. Mr. Ho aNE observed, that the application should have been made before the shares were forfeited ; the deposits not having been paid up on those shares, the lady could no longer be con sidered a proprietor. He was at a loss to think what could be the object of seeking for information under such circumstances. Mr. FENTON replied that the object was simply to enforce the claims of those whose shares were said to have been forfeit. ed, or to get back their money, because they conceived they had been unjustly excluded. Mr. Homtem could not but think it was very natural that when they declined paying up on their shares, that they should have been excluded. Mr. VIGERS was glad to meet Mr. Horne on this occasion, because he recollected that, at a former time, that gentleman had tak en a very act i ve part against hint. The object of those who were hostile to inquiry was quite - manifest; they did all to depreciate the value of the property, until they brought the shares down to 91. discount, and then they bought up all they could get, in order to speculate with the public money. The Directors, at the last general meeting, had made statements without figures—they had produced no accounts or documents to satisfy the Proprietors that their contracts were judiciously made, and a great majority of those who held shares began to be alarmed. Mr. HORNE said, that if the concern was as unpromising as it had been represented, there was the less reason for regret on the part of those who were now complaining of exclusion. Mr. FENTON said that wasno reason wliy they should tamely submit to imposition, when they had the power to enforce their right by an appeal to a court of law. A SHAREHOLDER observed, that all persons who put their names to the deed were hound to pay up the calls, and having declined to do so, they of course had broken their contract, and had no longer any legal claim on the company. Mr. FENTON protested against this construction of the thing. The Directors were the first to break faith. It was set forth in the prospectus, that 20,000 shares would be issued at 50/. each, whereas only 8,000 had been given to the public. This reservation was evidently for stock-jobbing speculations, as had been said by the first legal authority in the country, amounted to a fraud in law. Mr. HORNE said, that if there was any thing that required investigation, those who felt dissatisfied had only to go about and get the names of six proprietors holding 200 shares, and they could then call a general meeting of the subscribers; if they could not get six names it was proof that the Directors still possessed the confidence of the public, and he for one had as yet seen - nothing in their conduct to warrant hint in with drawing it. Mr. FENTON then begged leave to put the matter fairly be fore the Meeting, by reading the requisition, together with the Directors' answer, as follows . " At a Meeting of the Proprietors of the British Gas Light Company, held at the office of Mr. F. T, Fenton, Austinfriars, on Nov. 16, it was resolved— " That an application be made by Mr. Fenton, on behalf of this meeting, to the Directors of the British Gas Light Com pany, requesting them to call an early general meeting of proprietors, and to come to the same prepared with lists of the original shareholders, distinguishing the number of shares taken by each ; and also a full statement of the receipts and dis bursements of time Company, with ,the several times when, and the names of 'the persons by whom, the deposits were made ; and also a full statement of the several contracts entered into by the directors, together with a general statement of theatritirs of the Company." Mr. FENTON observed, that the demands here made were nothing hut what the proprietors had a right to expect. How far the Directors performed their duty, would be seen by the following letter received in reply 4 British Gas Light Company's Office, George-yard, Lombard -street, 18th November. " Sra—ln reply to your letter of the 14th inst. covering a resolution entered into at your office on the same day, 1 haven) acquaint you, that the Directors have no wish to withhold from any part of the proprietors of the British Gas Light Company such information as they may demand, at the same time con sistent with the interests of the whole ; but they do not feel at liberty to act upon the unauthenticated document which you have been pleased to transmit. I have - the honour to be, Sir, " " Your very obedi ent h um bl e servant, To F. T. Fenton, Esq. " CHAS. T. Mu., &c. &c. Secretary to the Company." Mr. FENTON said . that it was perfectly clear this was a mere evasion. A SHAREHOLDER said, that notwithstanding all the objec tions that had been started, lie could see no very strong ground for apprehension ; he knew that Alderman Thompson had purchased shares when they were at a considerable discount, and it was fair to infer that a man of his penetration would not have connected himself with the Company, if he had any doubts as to the propriety of its management, and the honour of the managers. „ It was suggested that the Alderman was in the iron trade, and therefore that he might have speculated on that account. Several gentlemen observed that . this could not be, as Alder.. man Thompson was above any such mercenary feeling, and, in the next place, that he had nothing to do witk the description of iron used by the Company. Mr. FENTON said, that it was a waste of time and words to argue a matter at the Auction Mart, which could be better dis cussed in a Court of Law ; his clients had the power, and did not want the will to try the question of right, and he would venture to say that every one who had been so expelled would get back their money if they pleased.—After some further con versation the meeting broke up.

SOLER QUI.I DICERS FALSUM 4UgaMIT LONDON, FRIDAY RYEA r ING, DECEMBER 2. 1825. The Paris Papers of Wednesday have arrived this morning, but their contents are not worthy of much notice. The subjoined extract from a let ter from Rio de Janeiro will be read with some interest as supplying the deficiency in the Treaty lately entered into between the Two Emperors of BRAZIL, relative to the succession to the throne of Portugal. By this secret article it seems that kingdom goes over to the present King's second son. The Funds have improved, and were, at three o'clock on Wednesday as follows : the 3 per Cents. 62f. 80c., and the Fives 95. " RIO DE JANdlito, OCT. 5. _ You were without doubt astonished to find in the treaty of the 29th of August, any clause relative to the succession of the King Don Juan, I know that a secret article exists, by which his Majesty Don Juan, renounces for himself and his successors, all claim that his birth conferred on him over Portugal. This secret clause will be published at the approaching meeting of theeharn. hers, and is of the highest importance in as much 1111 it calls the Infant Don MIGUEL to the throne. It is said that our Ambassador at Rome will be , charged to solicit the erection of the Bishopric of Reo into an Archbishopric, and the Cardinal's hat for the Abbe BEIRET. The Chambers will be opened on the Ist December. By the constitu tion, every Brazilian is an Elector, except slaves and priests. This second restriction has been very wisely introduced, to check the republican teu dency of the Clergy, so totally opposed to those of the Spanish Americas, who are altogether monarchical. " The Congress of Panama occupies all minds. The best informed journals, viz. L'Estresta Bra xileina and the Diario Fluminense, deride the whole, and compare it to the Towej of Babel. However, be assured there will be much warm discussion at Panama, but our Government does not appear very anxious to be concerned in the affair. MuNicir, Nov. 24. "The King has resolved that the censorship, to which all writings not political had been sub ject since 1823, shall be abolished. " Pea's, Nov. 30.

The superior tribunal of Liege passed sentence on the 16th of this month on the appeal of the Prince de Rohan, against the decision of July 24, by which the property of the estates depending on the former Duchy of Bouillon, and the indemnity due for the loss of the revenues of the Sovereignty, had been adjudged to the Prince de Bourbon, the Duke and Prince de la Trimouille, and the Princess de Poix. The Court rejected the appeal, condemned the appellant to the payment of the indem nity, of an equal sum by way of damages, and the costs. Thus this celebrated cause is finally decided. - - Nov. 26.—The Journal; have spoken of two apoplectic fits with which his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affairs was said to have been attacked.

What may he the object of his Majesty's visit to the shores of the Black Sea does not appear, to us, it seems every way calculated to excite some distrust in the Divan, and cause his conduct to be regarded at Constantinople with no small suspicion. 0 Per Share. . 62i 65 13i 15i lfi ST. PETERSBUJIGH, Nor. 12. Private letters from Tagarroy of 30th ult. informs us that the Emperor had paid a visit to New Tscherkasi.z, the Capital of the Don Cossacks. His Majesty intended to make from thence an excursion of fourteen days into the Crimea, and then return to Tagarroy ; so that some weeks will pass before we can have the pleasure of seeing his Majesty in the Capital. Her Majesty the Empress Maria is still at Galschina. It is reported that the Senate is at present engaged in arranging various changes relative to the civil offices. A chief object is supposed to be the suppression of illegal perquisites. The Custom-house station of Polangen is to be incorporated with that of Kowno, and the latter to be called that of Jurburg. From the coasts of the Baltic to Jurburg there is to be a new cordon of troops of the line behind the line of cossacks already established to prevent smuggling. The navigation for thix year WAS closed at Archangel on the 23d ult. Commerce in general has been very brisk there. Among the exports are— Flax Tallow Iron Linseed 155,333 pods. 114,309 ditto. 44,197 ditto. 73,053 ditto. In most of the southern provinces of the empire the harvest has been extremely abundant this year, and corn is in conse. quence very cheap.

We subjcin a few extracts : DAGUZ, Nov. 29. Letters from Batavia, of Aug. 3, say—There is an insurrec tion in the residence of Djocjocarta, at the head of which is Diho Negro, one of the guardians of the Sultan. On the 27th July he was attacked by a detachment of our troops, without any decisive result : the insurgents fled at first sight of the troops. On the 20th the Governor of Samarang went to Soura carta, to take measures to put down the insurrection. He found every thing tranquil, and according to the last accounts order was restored at Djocjocarta, though troops daily proceeded from Semarang to the scene of the rebellion. We have also learnt that the Sultan of Soloo has declared war against the Government, and his troops are 20 miles from Semarang, and it is feared that the Emperor of Jug.Jug_Jurta will join him. General de Kok has proceeded to join the troops. In Macassar the lluggerje were in insurrection. The Chinese and inhabi tants of Pontiauna and Bangennassni are also in a state of in surrection, and it is said they have murdered the Resident._ EXCHANGES ON LONDON. flamnußarr, Nov. 25.-35. 7i. ; 2 Us., 35. 4e.

The alarm occasioned by the late fall in the price of the Funds having in some degree sub sided, we think it now a good opportunity to revert to the subject of Country Banking Esta blishments. That such establishments have their advantages, and produce benefits to the country, cannot be denied ; but we think these ad vantages and benefits have been greatly over rated, and at all events are certainly coun terbalanced by the evils inflicted on the coun- . try in case of bankruptcy and insolvency, b e extremely difficult to It would, h owever , point out any specific advantages that Country Banking Establishments produce beyond their general utility in facilitating the diffusion of the y ► circulating medium through the Country, and in promoting trade and commerce. On the (Ober ewits Llicy produce are notorious in the misery caused by their failure to the poorer classes, the ease with which cash may be furnished for any speculations, however ill calculated for success, and the depreciation of the currency by the circulation of their own small notes. In order to avoid these evils, it is clear a limit must be placed upon their utility, and as that limit is measured not by the de gree of credit they obtain, by the degree of credit they are worthy of, it follows that any issue of local notes by any establishment, be yond their power to discharge at a very short no ace, is a positive evil impending over the coun- De K. try, and ready to fall, unless averted, not by th e policy and conduct of tile Bank, but by than viz. that th e y s h a ll no t be called u p on t° pay th em at once.
