LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. Thefollowing notice was posted this morning, on the doorof Lincoln's-inn Hall :—The Lord Chancellor has desired it tobeintimatedthat the motions which were intended to be made before him this day (Tuesday) are to be taken before the Master of the Rolls, and if 1) ! should not s i t , b e f ore t h e Vi ce -Ch ance ll or. Th e VICE-CHANCELLOR was the only Equity Judge, who sat this day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR held his first seal before ter m to_ihty. INJUNCTION. Mr. 101 DREW V. CROFTS. • - HILLIIHORE moved that the common in- Jun • ct inn, which h a d b een grante d t o restrain the def endant from proceeding in a certain action at law a gainst th e p l a i nt i ff might be dissolved. Mr. KNIGHT appeared in support of the injunc tilm• Th e bill stated that the plaintiff was one of the executors, dec conjointly with his step-mother, of his eased father, and was entitled upon her death to a moiety of 840/. in the new four per cents.; the P lai ntiff had been upon very bad terms with his step mother, and had such little intercourse with her, as not even to know the state of her health—he was the habit of frequenting a tavern kept by the defe n d ant, and the bill stated, that after a 182gt6h,enteed assign negociation, ig he was induced in April to the defendant the rever !!°ll of the moiety for 250/., part of this considera '!" money was retained to defray the expense of the conveyance; the plaintiff was at this time in very embarrassed circumstances. In less than three months after this, his step-mother died, and since that he has ascertained that for a considerable time before her death, her life had been despaired of. She was, moreover, sixty-nine years of age. The bill charged that the defendant before the tran asetion was completed, made the necessary in quiries, and ascertained all the facts, without having c ommunicated them to the plaintiff. The plaintiff being, as executor of his father, entitled to the tt,ock, caused it to be transfer re d t o hi s own name . The defendant, on this, brought an action at law on the title covenants in the deed, by which the rever !lnn Was assigned to him, and the present injunc l'on was obtained to restrain any further proceed ngs in that action. The defendant, in his answer, admitted all the material facts, except so far as it W as imputed t o hi m t h at h e k new th e s t a t e o f health I the plaintiff's step-mother. The VICE-CHANCELLOR enquired what the price of the new 4 per cents. was at the time of the bar gain• Unless there was a direct proof of under value, he did not see how the injunction could be anstai ne d . , L • KNIGHT said that Mr. Morgan, a gentleman as his Honour must be aware, was conversant ' Wi th transactions of this nature, gave it as his ° P in ion that the reversion was worth at least 100/. More than had been given for it.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BOLLAND AND OTHERS V. MARSH. 11 )4 was an issue directed by the Vice-Chancei °r to this C ourt, to try w h e th er th e defendant was °I th 1 , 141 1 e to p a y to t h e p l a i nt iff s , w h o are the assignees nf e late b an ki ng -h ouse o f M ars h an d Co., the sum 70 ,000/. i j!le facts o f t h e case were shortly these :—ln t a, the d e f en d ant ' s f at h er was i n co mpany with X Bl5 , Mr. Creed, as Navy Agents, but Mr. Creed hav ing retired from the concern, in 1816, Mr. Marsh umed his son (the defendant), as a partner in a ls r P l ace. By the , contract of partnership tile he'clidant was not to have an equal share of the ll i rn fits till his father should be enabled to purchase d a ie t Zukri of 44,0001. in the , three per Cent. Consoli nnuities, and the meantime the defendant \ pp's to b e allowed 800/. a-year out o f t h e p ro fits. The e lder Mr. Marsh was all this time the leading g par tner of the bankin-house of Marsh and Co., in arners-street, anti alit was with them he dealt, in his P of navy agent, he, after his son became the is Parner, h:.d the account for the navy agency with bankngouse entered in the defendant's name. (Natters continued' in this state rf om 1817 till 1820, 11 balance i n f avour of the ban ki ng -h ouse increasing ill 4i°ll g), wh en thz elder Mr. Marsh having fallen he th oug h t it proper to intimate i n wr i ting to allother partners in the banking-house that, as was along understoodn, the account entered in his son's (th e d efendant's) n a s solely for his behoof ; and that, Wish e d this in fact, h is son was no par t ner a t a ll. He to be k ept i n view, that no dispute g arise i n case of his death. Mr. Marsh reco vered, and business continued, as before, till 1824, when the banki favour on lig-ho use f a il e d , and a balancein its the account kept in ' name of the defend ant, to th e amount of 70,000/. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the plaintiff, contended that as the defendant and his father were held out to all the w or ld as partners, under the firm of Marsh and Son, the latter was undoubtedly liable for the debts of the company ; and that the banking-house of Marsh and Co. had nothing to do with the pri vate arrangements between the father and the son. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the defendant, entered into a long detail of the transactions be tween the parties, arid contended that it was well knowm, not only from the said letter, but otherwise f roill their intimate connection by the ot h er part ners, that as the defendant did not participate in the Profits equally with his fathe r, he ought not t o b e liable for the present debt. e CHIEF J USTI CE charged the Jury, that i n hi s °-4n ' the defendant and his father were part rrs to all intents and purposes from the date s°. th e contract in 1817, and that it was mis representation, whether intentional or not let w° • uld er 1. .onot say, by the fath er t o sa y in his in 20 that they were not pa rtners. It was clear i n hi s , • • , Lordsrup -, s judgment that the other part ners were not acquainted with all the a rran g ements betwe en the father and son, and therefore that they ra ti th h not to s u ff er b y a m i sre p re sentation of the er.

[BY EXPRESS.] FIGHT BETWEEN WHITEHEADED 808 AND JEIII BURNS, FOR £2OO A SIDE. This fight, which had excited much interest among the lovers of the Ring, was fixed to take place at No Man's Land. The Commissary-General arrived last night in due form, with the Stakes, at Jem Davis's, near Barnet, where Jem Burns has been some time, and finding himself cosily tucked up by a good fire, and his prad in a warm stable, put himself upon his good manners, and wait ed for the night. The same night Bob arrived at the Red Lion, St. Albans, where he took up his quarters with " his Uncle," Tom Cribb, and Harry Holt, who were to second him. Spring was to second him, but the anxiety of auld Tom to assist his darling protege, we understand, made the former r?sign. Bob betted Fishwick a sovereign that he would win in thirty minutes, and great chaffing took place between " Uncle Ben" and Ned O'Neal, who stood 40 sovereigns on Bob. _ THE FIGHT. ROUND 1.-All the preliminaries being arranged; the men came up to the scratch in good style. Bob stripped well, and looked in better condition than the other ; every eye was on the stretch for the first advantage, and the men seemed equally cautious, and sparred for a very short time ; Burns hit Bob two facers, and floored him clean, right and left.—(Cheers for Burns.) 2.—80 b cool.—Burns anxious to go in, put right and left and missed. Two blows—Burns hit Bob clean down by right and left, the same as before. " Uncle Ben out of his wind." 10 to son Burns. 3.—First blood from Bob, the latter getting warm. Burns hit him again, and showed great improvement ; long sparring ; Burns put in a left handed facer ; Bob gave a straight scratch, and was floored like a shot by Burns.— " Jem, you'll win," with odds. 4.—Bobs eye closed, and again floored by a clever right handed hit ; great uproar; any odds. 5.--Bob reclined with one eye; Burns without a scratch. A scrambling round, in which Bob had all the worst— covered with blood ; and after a sharp rally, went down. 6.—Burns at him again, and gave Bob a dreadful hit on the ear. Bob went in and gave two hard facers. Hit Burns ran away frotn;and followed him up ; was jobbed severely. A hard round, Burn under, with some hits. 7.—Burns fresh. Bob, anxious to begin, followed Burns all over the ring, and floored him. Burn getting weak. B.—Burns tried to bit, but received a whacking job in return—(go in Bob)—Burns kept hitting him away severely as he tried to go in. Burns missed his mark, and received two or three facers ; Burns much distressed. Bob kept going in, hit hip several very hard facers. Burn very shy, and, - in a struggle, went down very easily. 9.—80 b more cool ; Burns in a little bit of a fret— (Keep to him Bob.) Burns retreated, but at last gave Bob a facer, and Bob went in and drove him round the ring. A hard rally—when at the ropes Bob hit him clean down. Burns very weak.—(Bob for ever.) 10.—Bob came up with great spirit ; Burns getting confused, Bob went in and gave him some severe right-handed blows, but fell from weakness ; well done Bob. 11.—Burns jobbed Bob with his left hand, but received a heavy body blow ; Bob went down at the ropes.—Bob favorite. 12.—80 b went in again ; Burns went on again, and had the best of out-fighting; but bad some punishment in a rally. Both men so weak that they stood and looked at each other. Bob the strongest, and as game as a bantam. 13.—80 b showing great punishment followed Burns all round the ring, and was jobbed severely, Bob hitting and Burn recovering ; Bob then got so severely jobbed and pu nished, it seemed all over—(Take him away.) IL—Poor Bob had it again, and took it with all the loving tenderness of a brother, but Jeni was fresh again, and hit where he liked, his hand , was like a turbulent -dun, always a rapping Bob, and at length floored him under the ropes. 15.—The ring broken in here. Bob determined to make an effort, and went in, after some hits, when Burns went down, very weak. 16.—80 b hit a sharp body blow, and followed him again, and hit Burns terribly ; and on they went disputing inch by inch, for one would not retreat, nor the other flinch ; both down outside the ropes ; great uproar. 17.—Poor Bob went down like a child, and seemed almost knocked up. IS.—Burns quite strong, Bob went after him twice to the ropes, gave him great punishment, and received more, till both fell in the rencontre. _ 19.—80 b went in, but was jobbed severely. He bored Jem to the ropes and threw him very heavily. He seemed the gamest of the game.—( Great cheers). 20.—80 b received so much punishment, that he could not come again to the scratch, when Jem Burns was de clared the victor, amid the loudest huzzas. The fight lasted three quarters of an hour. THE COLLEGE. One of our contemporaries has published a list of signatures to the Anti-Catholic petition of the Protestants of Dublin, in which appears a very imposing array of names with the re spectable addition of T.C.D. Another even ing contemporary would have you believe the University of Dublin is decidedly opposed to the claims of their Catholic countrymen, and per fas et ncfirs, labours hard to establish this point. `'ire believe we are at least as intimately acquainted with the College as any of our con'- temporaries, and we therefore solicit the atten tion of our readers to the following short and simple statement of idets. The Corporation of the College, that is the electors, consists of 95 individuals, exclusive of the Provost. This number it is necessary to classify as follows : Seven Senior Fellows, who, with the Pro vost, constitute the government of the Col lege ; . eighteen junior Fellows, and seventy Scholars ; in all ninety-five. Of this aggre gate we observe signed to the petition the names of one Senior Fellow, three Junior Fellows, and eighteen Scholars ; in all 22. But let us con sider this point further. Of the governing body, to whom we are bound to give credit for ma turity of judgment, we find but one-eighth of the body signing this petition ; of the class next in importance, viz., the Junior Fellows, one-sixth, and of the Scholars, nearly one-fourth. fie look among the signatures in vain for a Kyle, a Lloyd, a Sadlier, au Elrington, or even a Singer. Are our ultra contemporaries prepared to say that these dis tinguished and talented individuals are not true to the welfare and integrity of our religious esta blishment? Such an assertion, dare not be hazarded. Of the other students who have +tigned this petition we have further to observe, that they are by no means the distinguished or studious part of the College, it being a fact that by far the majority of them are in the Junior Freshmen Class, or in other words, are those who have been transferred from the nursery to the care of their College Tutors. It was a half dozen of youths of this description, who chose a corner of the Park for burning the Member for the Col -1 le g e in effigy, at a late hour of the night—a cir cumstance trumpeted forth by the Mail, ct hoc genus omne, as indicative of the feelings of the College towards Mr. Plunket. The truth is, that the Establishment of this country by no means interferes with the claims of the Roman Catholics. Let us be understood. We repeat it, as the distinguished and highly gifted representative of the College has demon strated, the Protestant Establishment and the Catholic Claims are not necessarily opposed to , each other. A mistaken view of their interests. as a body, may have induced many members of the Establishment to array themselves against the civil privileges of the Catholics, but can this excuse be pleaded for the war, hitherto carried on by the selfish and narrow portion of the Press, against the tranquillity, the happiness of Ire land ?—Dublin Patriot. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-APRIL 23. This has been one of the busiest and most crowded days for some months past, and a great deal of business has been dune. A great many Gentlemen were present, from Manchester, Yorkshire, Cheshire, &c., agreeable to annual custom, and the betting, after the settlement of the bets on last week's races was concluded, was, in consequence, of a very general description. The odds on the Derby are changing about, but Glenartney, of whom very opposite opinions are entertained, keeps firm at the head of the Est ; and his companion Mameluke is also rising in the odds. Espagnolle, Defence, and Tatler, preserve their re lative situations with each other. The alterations in this Stakes are on those horses who have hitherto been midway between the principal favourite and the outsiders. Elias• Teazle, who ran second to Chrysalis last week, has been brought up astonishingly, and is a better favourite than Chrysalis, at nearly 2to 1. The field for the Oaks is considerably narrowed by the results of last week's run ning ; and most of those fillies which have hitherto ap peared as top favourites, are now completely hors de com bat. Don , i-. Clara is steady at 4to 1 ; Lord Verulam's filly, Brocard, was backed to some amount, and will very probably come very close upon Donna Clara ; the Duke of Richmond's filly was also backed, but not very freely. The Catterick Races have thrown the three favourites, OliVera, Jupiter, and Emma, into their original insignificance ; but the odds on this and the other Stakes will be best col lected from the following statement : DERBY, 20 to 1 agst Roderick 23 to 1 agst Gaberlunzie 30 to I agst Chrysalis 30 to 1 agst Cressida 30 to 1 agst Trumpeter 40 to 1 agst Turcoman 40 to 1 agst Maresfield 50 to 1 agst Othello Ir.

At seven o'clock, all the arrangements having been completed, Mr. Brunel, junior, and Mr. Gravat entered the machine, and were lowered amidst the anxious anticipations of the surrounding visitors. The usual signals were given, and promptly answered ; and after remaining about twenty minutes under the water, and completing the object of their visit, the subaqueous adven turers returned, and were received with high tes timonies of approbation and good feeling by the surrounding - group. It was stated, on very good authority, that the result of this descent, on which occasion additional borings took place, was so satisfactory, that no reasonable apprehen sion of final success could possibly exist. Throughout the whole of Sunday, these borings were continued, and at one period of the day Messrs. Brunel and Gravat were under the water upwards of three hours. COST OF SLAVERY.-lt 'having been as serted by the advocates of the abolition of slavery, that the West Indies occasion an expense to the country of 1,600,0001., the supporters of the West India interest, relying on the want of dis tinct official document as to the disposal of our military and naval forces, have ventured to deny that the expense is so great. To meet this de nial, a statement has been made with great care and labour, and it results, that instead of 1,600,0001:a year, the sum which may be fairly considered as expended for the support of the slave colonies is no less than 2,066,2321. ! Such an expense, says the author of the state ment, would be unnecessary for the support of colonies of free men in the West Indies, and may therefore be added to the almost incalculable sa crifices we are called upon to make for the sup port of slavery. The statement is too long for insertion in our paper, but it is pasted up in our office, and may be seen by any one who is de sirous of examining the items which compose this enormous expenditure.—Manchester Gaz. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the Duke of Devonshire went to Mr. Canning, at his house in Downing-street, having returned from the Marquis of Lansdown, at his seat at Richmond. His Grace remained with Mr. Canning till half-past one. Soon after the de parture of his Grace, Mr. Canning went to the King, and remained with his Majesty an hour and a half, and then returned to Downing-street, when the Minister had another interview with the Duke of Devonshire, accompanied by the Earl of Carlisle. His Grace and his Lordship continued with Mr. Canning in deliberation for an hour and a half. Mr. Canning afterwards re ceived visits from the Marquis of Anglesea, Vis count Granville, Earl Morley, Lord Seaford, Mr. Huskisson, Sir John Copley had an audience of the King yesterday at his Palace in St. James's. Letters have been received in town from Ber lin, dated the 9th inst., at which period the Duke of Cumberland had completely recovered the fa- culty of sight in his right eye. His Royal High ness was also in the enjoyment of good health. Earl Harrowby, the Marquis of Sligo, and the Marquis de Palmella, the Portuguese Minister, transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. On Sunday Sir Alexander Grant gave a grand dinner, at his residence in Privy-gardens, at which were present, Mr. Canning, the Earl of Limerick, Viscount Granville, Viscount Dudley, Lord Seaford, Lcrd. Bingham, Lord Mount charles, Lord Louvaine, Lord Howard de 'Wal den, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Wilmot. Horton, Mr. Littleton, and Mr. Planta. Mr. Croker left town on Saturday night, in order, as it is understood, to offer himself as a candidate for the vacancy in the representation of Dublin University, occasioned by the appoint ment of Mr. Plunkett to be Master of the Rolls. It is expected that Mr. Saurin will oppose Mr. Croker. _ . We are glad to hear that Mr. Huskisson's health is completely restored. The Right Hon. Gentleman had a long interview with the Mar quis of Hertford, on Sunday, at his house in Piccadilly ; to which he walked, in his usual quick manner, from Mr. Canning's office in Downing-street. Mr. Baron Garrow, whose recovery has been retarded by the afflicting loss of his son, is, by the advice of his physicians, gone to his cottage near Ramsgate. Mr. Planta will commence his official duties at the Treasury Board to-morrow, and will be succeeded"' as Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs by Mr. Backhouse. Notwithstanding Lord Bexley's temporary re turn to the duties of the Duchy of Lancaster, it is said that the office is destined not long hence to reward the services of a fortunate son of Escu lapius.—Morning Paper. The title which is talked of for Sir J. Copley is Lord Lyndhurst. This title, it is said, was once thought of for the late Mr. G. Rose. Mr. Robinson will take, we believe, the title of Lord Gooderich, and Sir C. Abbott that of Lord Ten terden. If the Lord Chief Justice is raised to a peerage, it will, we have reason to think, be in redemption of a promise made by Lord Eldon. If professionahmerit'were to - • decide questions of this kind, Sir C. Abbott would have been a peer long ago. He is universally admitted to be the ablest and most learned lawyer that has presided in the Court of King's Bench since the days of Lord Chief Justice Holt. Mr. J. S. Cooke, brother to the claimant of the still disputed Barony of Stafford, has gone to Stafford for the purpose of serving the present possessor of Stafford Castle, Sir George Jer ningham, with a writ of ejectment. The Marquis of Bristol entertained the Mar quis and Marchioness of Clanricarde, and a dis tinguished party to dinner on Sunday, at their villa, Putney Heath. The Earl of Morley entertained a large party to dinner yesterday at Kent House, Knights bridge. Mrs. Beilby Thompson entertained a large ?.rty of the haut ton, yesterday evening, at her house in Berkeley-square. The Rev. J. 'F. James, D.D., Rector of Fl: ton-cum-Silsoe, preached his farewell sermon on Sunday last, being appointed Bishop of Calcutta. He left Flitton on Tuesday last.—Northampton Mercury. We are sorry to hear that the Rev. Mr. Ben son continues too much indisposed to afford any prospect of his resuming his powerful appeals from the pulpit for the present. The Inconstant will be acted on Saturday night, at Covent-garden Theatre, on which oc casion Miss Jarman will make her first appear ance as Oriana. She will be supported by Mr. C. Kemble, in Young Mirabel. Mademoiselle Delphine Schauroth, whose talents have so much delighted the lovers of the piano-forte, is again returned to London. SPARRING.—After some remarks made lin Lord L—d—rd—le, in which his Lordship in dulged the Upper House with a taste of his ad mirable principles and speculations, Lord K—ng engaged him m a little private conversation, which led to the following pleasant termination : Lord K.: Indeed, my Lord, I cannot com prehend you.--Lord L.: That's your affair. I can't find you in comprehension.—Lord K.: No. That I verily believe. Your's is not an exportingcielt for i home consumption. l lead.ltisterril:lyput to it, to raise sffi Sir N. C. Tindal has, as we anticipated , de clared him se lf a ca ndidate for the representation of the University of Cambridge in Parliament. Sir Nich o l as arr ived at Trinity Lodge on Satur day, when he immediately proceeded on his can vass, and met, we understand, with great success. Sir Ni c h o l as t oo k his degree in the year 1799, when he gained the first academical honours. He was shortly afterwards elected a Fellow of Trinity College. On leaving the University, he applied himself with unremitting industry to the study of the law, and now enjoys the highest reputation in that learned profession. He was a few years since brought into Parliament by Lord Liverpool, and has invariably followed the poli tics of that Minister. A most amusing caricature was published yes terday relative to the late changes in the Cabinet. It is entitled " The Game Cock and the Dung hills." Mr. C g, as the game cock, is represented standing on a dunghill, crowing and driving seven dunghill cocks from him. The foremost to retire is IV n, and after him the L—d C r, muttering " resignation." John Bull is represented as a countryman with a pitchfork in his hand, applauding the courage of the game cock, and rejoices that the dung hills, who had so long eaten his corn, were driven from the Treasury. His Majesty is supposed to be looking frOm St. James's Palace, - and asking John Bull's opinion as to the merits of the game cock.—Morning Paper. ST. L: THE KING'S BIRTH-DAY. Yesterday, the Anniversary of his Majesty's Birth-day was observed in the metropolis with every demonstration of joy and respect. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, at noon the Park and Tower guns were fired, and in the evening the town was most brilliantly illuminated ; in fact, more so than we remember to have seen on any similar former occasion. The Royal Standard was displayed on some of the Church 'Steeples, and also at some of the public buildings. The day was observed as a holiday at most of the public offices. The Marshalmen in attendance at the King's Palace, St. James's, appeared in new uniform. Some of this corps are in constant attendance at the Palace during the stay of the King in town. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester gave a dinner in honour of the day at Gloucester House, Park-lane, to a select party of Nobility and Gentry. Mr. Canning gave a grand dinner on the oc casion, at his residence in Downing-street, to the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and other diplomatic characters. The Lord Steward of his Majesty's House hold gave a dinner to the Noblemen and Gentle men in his Department. His Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentle men Pensioners dined together at the Freema sons' Tavern, to celebrate the day. At three o'clock, Mr. Parrett, the mail-coach manufacturer, gave a Dinner to the Mail-Coach Contractors, at his house in Millbank-row.— After dinner, Mr. J. Smith and Mr. Phillips sung " God save the King," which was enthu riastically chorused by the whole company. A little before five o'clock the Coachmen and Guards, in their new uniform, assembled in the Yard of the Manufactory, and being uncovered, drunk the King's health in Port Wine ; after which, " Success to the Wheels" was given. New Harness for the new Mails were sported on this occasion. The Horses generally were of a very superior description; the pie-balds that drew the Gloucester, excited general admiration. The Portsmouth was drawn by very beautiful bays ; the Norwich Mail was drawn by very su perior and high bred cattle ; in fact, we should think it hardly possible that a finer collection of horses of the hind, could be brought forward on any occasion. At five o'clock they moved for ward in the following order Bristol.—From Messrs. Waterhouse and Low's, Swar with Two Necks, Lad-lane.—A Horseman. Bath.—Ditto. Exeter.—Ditto.

GILES ' S CHURCH. - _ Among the novelties ot the night, the dial-plate of St. Giles's Church was illuminated, so that the hours could be distinguished at a considerable distance. The light em ployed for this purpose is, we understand, gas; and it is so contrived, that by the motion of the clock itself, the gas is turned on and kindled rt a certain hour in the evening, and turned off and extinguished in the morning. We congratulate the Metropolis, upon this addition to their comforts, and we hepe that none of the clocks of the Metropolis will be left without this improvement. The tradesmen and shopkeepers east of Temple-bar were anxious to evince their loyal attachment to their Sovereign on his natal day, and the illuminations were very general. Mr. Webb, robe-maker to his Majesty, corner of Chan cery-lane, had a very tastetul G.R. and Crown in front of his house. Messrs.

Rowland and Son, perfumers to the Royal Family, Hat • ton-garden, G.IL, &c. The Courier cuts a very ridiculcua figure. We really pity its Editor. Ingenious as he is in most things, and keenly as he watches the signs of the times, he seemed at first sadly puzzled whether to praise or condemn the adventurous Premier. He amused the public with a story that Mr. Peel's resignation was at once a mere per sonal consideration and a matter of conscience ! At length he speaks out. Mr. Canning is net only the best of Ministers, before he is tried ; he is also the only one that could be found ; he is an exemplification of the wisdom of the Monarch in choosing him, and all his Majesty's subjects clap their hands in extacy.—Carlisle Patriot. Mr. Canning was horn at Paddington, near London, in 1771. His paternal ancestors were originally seated at Foxcote, in Warwickshire, where a branch of the family, we believe, still re mains. Queen Elizabeth conferred the manor of Garvagh, in the county of Derry, in Ireland, on a younger son of the Foxcote family, who there upon removed into the sister island, and, up to the father of the Premier, his descendants conti nued to reside there. Stratford Canning, Esq., of Garvagh, the grandfather, had two sons, Geo. and Paul, the elder of whom displeasing his fa ther by marrying a dowerless beauty, was exiled from the paternal roof, with an allowance of 150/. a-year. Under these circumstances he came with his lady to London, and, determining to study the law, entered himself of the Middle Temple. He died poor, on the 11th April 1771, a few days after the birth of his son George, and was interred in the new burial ground of St. Marylebone, where his tomb, with the following inscription, was placed by his widow : Thy virtue and my wo no words can tell, Therefore, a little while, my George, farewell; For faith and love like our's Heziven has in etere Its last best gift—to meet and part no more. His infant son, the subject of this memoir, was placed with a maternal uncle, a respectable wine-merchant in the City, who discovering strong marks of genius, at a very early age, sent him to Eton, where he speedily distinguished himself, and in 1756 became one of the senior scholars. In 1788, on his removal from Eton, Mr. Canning was entered of Christ Church, Ox ford, where he graduated. He there formed a social connection with several young men of rank, among whom was Mr. Jenkinson, now Lord g o f r e t e b , o ll; i l i e d f d t l t e he Te Uzv e ers w it i y th , a intent d ten en t t t e o red stu himself Liverpool. Having obtained hi s b ac h e l or ' s de , law. At the same time he obtained admission to a debating society which met in Bond-street, and by his practice there acquired that ease and facility in public speaking which he now so emi nently possesses. Mr. Canning has several chil dren. One of his daughters was lately married to the Marquis of Clanricarde.—London Free Press. SHOCKING BIGOTRY.---11 1 the neighbour hood of Riverstown, county of Sligo, a school master, named Luke Conner, manifested, a short time since, a disposition to conform to the Pro testant faith. He mentioned this inclination of his mind to several of his relatives and friends, and stated that it was the result of deliberate conviction. They used every influence on him to prevent him taking this step, first employing entreaties, and finally menaces, but seemingly to no effect, as he declared his determination was fixed to pursue the course which his conscience dictated. In a night or two after the poor man was inveigled from his home by near relatives of his own to one of their houses, and he was dis covered hanging by the neck in a waste house convenient, after life became extinct. From the elevated position in which the body was found, it was ascertained that he could not have committed suicide, and from several circumstances, a strong presumption exists, and the feeling is pretty ge neral in the neighbourhood, that this unfortunate man had been murdered, by some of his own near relatives. An Inquest was held by Abra ham Fenton, Esq. one of the Coroners of the county of Sligo, in the church-yard of Bonilla kill, in that county, upon the body. The Jury, returned a verdict of wilful murder against sonic persons unknown. Three individuals have been committed to Sligo gaol, on suspicion of being concerned in the above murder. It is unneces sary to offer-a single obsqrvation, in order to ex pose the shocking bigotry which such an act dis closes.—Dublin Correspondent.
