LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENC/I.=-GUILDHALL. (Before Lord TENTERDEN and a Special Jury.) DEVON AND CORNWALL MINING COMPANY. - LAWLOR V. KERSHAW AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a stationer in the city, to recover .541., the amount of stationery supplied to the defendants, Messrs. Wilks, M.P., Moore, M.P., Kershaw, and others, as Directors of the Devon and Cornwall Mining Company. Mr. GURNEY stated the plaintiff's case, in which he took occasionrto give a history of the Devon and Cornwall Mining Company from its establishment at a meeting at' the Albion Tavern, on the 7th of April, 1824, to its. dissolution. The fact that the articles of stationery for which the plain tiff .now demanded • payment, were actually sup plied for the use of the Company, was undis puted, and- the defence endeavoured to be set up was, that all the defendants had not signed the deed of settlement at the time the goods were or dered. Ile should endeavour to prove, however, that all the defendants had signed the deed of set tlement, with the exception of Sir John Perring, who had not signed the deed, but who was ap pointed a Director, had taken the number of shares to qualify him for that office and had actually paid the requisite deposits. Under these circumstances he expressed his confidence that the jury would find for the plaintiff. In support of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Currey, the Secretary to the Devon and Cornwall Mining Company was called, an d exam i ne d at some l engt h . In the course of his examination, a variety of facts were elicited to prove that the defendants w ere Directors of the' Company, and had act e d i n t h at G cap eneralacity. On his cross-exam i nat i on by the Attorney , the w i tness stated that W. John Wilks, Jae, purchased certain mines in Cornwall, for 15,000 /e which lie afterwards sold to the Company for 120,0004, and that above 5%0004 was- received of the subscriptions, all of which went into the pockets of Mr. Wilks, Who alsO held 2,000 shares in the Company- • Mr. J. Wood, the first sec re t ary of the Com om pany c borated the evidenc e o f the former witness, , —. He produced the minute books of the Company, which proved the attendance of various of the de fendants as Directors. On his cress-examination, he stated, that at the first meeting of the Company, on the 7th April, . only five persons attended, by. Whom the resolutions then put forward, were con cocted. The Witness also swore, that he had never been charged with prevarication ; but upon the re (examination of Mr. Currey, he stated, that the witness J ones) was suspended in consequence of a deficiency of about 2 ,000/. appearing on the Company's books. Jones a lso Stated, th at a ll t h e art i c l es c h arge d for in Vtaintiff's account , we re ordered by him, and used for the bene fi t of the Company. Witness was directed t o provid e t h e articles, - but the Directors afterwards resolved to appoint another house as their stationers. Regg proved, that Sir J. Perring paid 6 e deposit on fifty shares i nto K ay ' s Bank on the th April, 182.1 , r The case for the plaintiff having closed, the AT- I °I(NE GENERAL addressed the Ju r y f or th e de tredants. He said, that in this case Mr.'Wilks was t eal plaintiff, and sought to c over hi mse lf . f rom the debts incurred in a- concern in which lie had hi e , eil f : the only gainer. Mr. Wilks had authorised e.,„; h eod, Jones, to order the books and stationery ; - 1 : 4 ; t . ,he plainti ff , at a period when several of the ( ti e ; ll ,°ants could have incurred no liability, because Had no connection with the Company. Sir J. of e e tri r't,t and Mr. Barber had not signed the deed tLet,dement, nor had any connection whatever with wh - e "evon and Cornwall Mining . Company, hill° the first articles mentioned in plaintiff's th e . h Wer e ordered ; and subsequently when thei u irectors met, they appointed other p ar ti es ()f 4 , 1' , stationers. The law was, that if an y , 'Re def en d ants were - not liable, a verdict m us t ' e , 84 ,, generally f or th e d e f en d an t s; an d M r . B ar b er 11 1 5 ' 1 Sir J. P err i ng cou ld not b e li a bl e b y the i r mere 41ioation as Directors. ' GURNEY having been heard in reply, th a r d TENTERDEN observed, in charging the Jury, Zhe circumstance of the defendants having sub '"ently signed, the deed of settlement afforded tts-4,1 ,evidence that they sanctioned their nomination which took place at a Meeting held on I3 th April. 'There was no evidence to prove I , r ' a t Mr. Barber and Sir John Perring were partners i' a Z i°ll,3 to that period, and therefore they were not I . ;„''''e for the article s ordered antecedently. As had that stated by the Attorney-General, the law was, 4 : t if the Jury believed any of the defendants were fe: d li able, they must find a verdict for all the do tal:1 ' °N- If- all the defendants, h owever , were 'e to any part o f t h e p l a i nt iff' s d eman d , the iJury find for the plaintiff with that amount.

COURT OF COMMON PL CHIEr EAS, . 1 .13 (London Adjourned Sittings, 1, 04 re the J USTI CE and a Cowl:,lon Jury, . - THE AEGIS LIFE AND FIRE COMPANY. INSU RANCE .._ It V. LANGSLOW AND 0r ,,,,, ti5. This wa s a n action brought by the Pain tiff to re eorer the amount of three-quarters salary, alleged to be du e t o hi m , as - S ecre t ar y of the Fire Departm ent °f tie /Egis Life and Fire "Insurance Company, whieh is now defunct. The defendants were Directors of the Company. Sergeant ADAMS, for the plaintiff, called two I)!ficers of the Company, the secretary of the Life Department, and one of the surveyors, to prove tae services of Ryde. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, for the defendants, cross- Nmined the witnesses. They stated that the Com fly owed its origin to the prolific brain of Mr. .!Vilks: he it ,was who received all the subscrip 'lons ; a cheque for 4931., , payable to No. 1, an d s igned by Peter Moore, John Was, and Mr. Ver.. , %lie, was drawn out ; the secretary of the life de- Ntm e nt, since dead—(a.laugh)— rece i ve d hi s sa tY out of the amount of the chequ e , an d h a nd e d h e remainder over to the plaintiff. The witnesses Here unable to say whether the plaintiff - continued t ° dis c h ar ge his duties after the Company had been b rolteu u p, and all its furniture and effects were a e i 2ed on the Lord Mayor's Day, 1826. t he The Learned Serge ant then proceeded to add ress t e Jury. The Comp an y in q uestion was one o f ho se ih bubbles which had bee n p uffed into existence fo r. , the Purpo se of entrapping the unwar y; and the ver y p,, lll ent that any person, seduced by the prospectus, gj his head within the office door, to see what was fo,, ih g on, he was fixed on as a Director, and very soon i tu i'd that all the money of the concern made its way 1 ) ,.. ° one cltonel, the formidable No. 1, which had h: Produced in order to show that the plaintiff lk,f t eeeived one quar ter's salary. No one cou l d b e tti enough to say what became of the rest of the 1 ) o,d e l eY, and f or aught the witnesses knew , it mi g ht I'4 r emained in the hands of this very Secretary. a cti on Was however a short and easy answer to the I let i n ' namely, that the plaintiff was himself a part the Company This would be shown from V l l,ents in the - * Plaintiff 's own band-writing.— ti t l qe Gth of June, 1826, there was a Meeting 1 1) kt t Z board of Directors, at which it was reiehied I kt i'le. Secretary should draw up a statemeut of the k qo of the Company. This he accordingly did, NigePared two lists of the several parties having Pets o4 o the Company. One list comprised those 5 who were not partners, the ether list OCX. included only those who were. Among the latter was to be found the plaintiff. This item appeared in - the statement, " Ryde, the Secretary, 12.5/." This clearly put an end to the action; but the Learned Sergeant could go farther, and show that the salaries of the officers were not, according to the original resolutions, to be paid at the rate above stated, " if the profits of the Company were not adequate thereto." There was, however, one ingenious attempt made to get rid of this difficulty, for the parties likely to be affected by it, well knowing the meaning of the word " profits," had erased it and substituted the significant word " funds." Thus, as the Learned Sergeant contended, clearly shewing the character of the entire transaction. _ _ Mr. Sergeant MEURYWEATHER then addressed the Jury for the defendant Mr. Dunster, and drew their attention to a letter written by Mr. Wilks to the plaintiff. Wilks, after expressing the great pleasure which he would have in serving the plaintiff, says, " 'We shall have the funds in our hands, and I will take care, subicribe who may, that you shall be benefited."— The Learned Sergeant, after commenting in very strong terms on the nature of the transactions of the Company, submitted that the whole was a fraud. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, for the plaintiff, argued that the evidence only went to spew that the plaintiff was a partner in June, 1826, and that his prior right could not be defeated by his subsequent connexion with the Company as a partner. The Life Department Secretary was recalled, and stated, that he wrote a letter to the plaintiff; pre viously to his taking his seat as Secretary, and in formed him that he must, before his appointment took place, become a subscriber to the amount of 501. The I:0HD CHIEF JUSTICE was of opiniOn, that the plaintiff must be nonsuited if Mr. Sergeant Wilde-proved, as he expressed his ability to do; that the plaintiff was a partner. The documents alluded to, the Learned Ser geant's speech, were then put in and read, 'Von' which his Lordship directed a 21021n/it. LAW NOTICES. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

BRIGHTON, OCT. 14.--This place has not been so full of fashionable company throughout the season as at present. The Steyne, and the Cliff Parades, for many days past, have exhibited but few promenaders; the rides have been comparatively sterile in equipages, and the fine baud of the '7th Hussars seem to have been wea ther-bound at the Barracks.

Dr. Brown's noisy tragedy of Barbarossa was re produced last night, for the purpose, (we presume) of showing that Mr. Kean, jun., possesses few or no qualifications for a first-rate actor. His mind, in deed, is most singularly undramatic. It has evi dently too much intelligence to win its way by dint of sheer noise and impudence; and too little to give . effect to the more mental parts of character. It reverses, therefore, the old adage of "medis tutissi nzus, 4.c." In his last night's performance of Ach met, Mr. Kean gave moderate—and but moderate, satisfaction. His chief defect was an inability to mark the conflicting emotion by which Achmet is so deeply oppressed. In his scene with his mother, where, though solicitotis to press her to his heart,he is compelled to address her as a stranger, Mr. Kean evinced singular indifference—even frigidity. He spoke to her with as much :aneroid as if he was speaking to a coal heaver on the subject of a chaldron of coals for winter—perfectly business-like and inanimate. In his conversation with his " sweet-heart," Irene, he was "equally methodical. Indeed we have heard of an em i ne nt living Judge, who addressed the daughter of his washer-woman in chambers, with far deeper emotion. In the third act, however, there was here and there a gleam of better spirit, while, in the two last we recollect nothing more impres sive than the words, " dost thou then repent thee of thy crimes?" which were delivered with very com mendable tenderness. Mr. Cooper enacted Othman as usual, with the abundant assistance of his left arm, and Mr. Mude did Barbarossa with an equal abundance of lungs. After the tra gedy a new piece (translated from the French) entitled " The • Gambler's Fate, or, A Lapse of Twenty Years," was produced, in which horror was superadded to horror, with true No vember effect. The plot is something like the following :—Albert (Wallack), a wealthy young man, is seduced by his friend Malcom (Coo per) into the habits of a gambler, And loses a large sum given him by his father to purchase jewels for his intended wife Julia (Mrs. West): His friend, meanwhile, suppli es hi m w i t h f a l se jewels, which are discovered to have been stolen, and for which he is tried and condemned, but escapes. Twenty years after this we are again introduced to him in rags and wretchedness, so much so that he is induced to murder a traveller for the sake of his funds. Just at this crisis Malcour (equally wretched), re appears, and contrives to find out the secret of the murder, which they both go out to bury. Mean- time, Henry(Albert's ) t's son comes to his fath er 's h ou se, who learns from his infant child, that a young s tranger just arrived, has a large sum about him. This is enough for Malcour, who • of course resolves to " do him," when, unfor tunately, just as he is in the act of ", doing him," (i. e. murdering him), the victim's Mother, fol lowed closely by a thunderbolt, enters the house, when Albert learns that he has assisted in the de struction of his own child. Of course at this mo ment the police-officers, who are always at hand in melo-dramas, rush in and seize him ; but his eon science anticipates their business b y di spos i ng o f him in a ver y summar y manner, viz. by a b ro k en h eart . Such is the bare outline of a play, which is made up in its details of every fiendish atrocity: There is notta villain in the piece; they are all demons. From first to last it is a monstrous, exhibition of unadulterated diabolism, and 'as such can only startle or disgust it can never amuse or improve. COVENT GARDEN. Mr. Kean's appearance last night as Shylock, the part in which he first came out—attracted a full and fashionable house. Long before the rising of the curtain, every .place was occupi e d, and considerable impatience testified to witness the improvement or deterioration o f M r. K ean ' s dramatic powers. 'Either, in the case of a great genius, will suffice to fill a house; for quite as many people love to spy out a defect, as to discover a beauty, in an old favourite. Be this as it may, we do not hesitate to assert that Mr. Kean's energies appear considerably improved : the languor of last season, though it still a t t i mes ad heres to him, is not so strikingly prominent as be fore; nor does his voice faulter so terribly., His Shylock of last ni g ht was a str iki ng an d v i gorous piece of acting; somewhat subdued, perhaps, with less of clap-trap about it than usual,—but _for that very reason more iinposing. Mr. Charles Kemble's Bassaaio was almost faultless; indeed it almost divided applause with Shylock. Miss Coward, as Nerisst, exhibited powers of no mean order; and Miss Jarman gave to the Portia an ;im pressiveness of which we before thought it inca pable. After the play, the audience clamoured for Mr. Kean : an apology was, however, made for non appearance, on the plea that he had left the theatre, with which the Gods expressed themselves satisfied.

ADELPUL A new piece was produced at this house last night, founded on the same story as that brought out at Drury-lane, and entitled " Thirty Years, or a Gambler's Fate." The characters are the same under different names; we need not therefore repeat it.— The piece was, in its developement, far more na tural than at the other . house, and was received with unsparing applause. It promises to have a very successful, and, making allowance for some extravagance both in the character and conception of the plot, a very deserved run. Mrs. lope, from the Theatre Royal, Drury.'lane, made her first appearance on these boards in the character of Amelia, the heroine of the piece, which she performed with a passionate tenderness that frequently drew tears from a crowded audience. Her acting was altoge ther consonant to nature in the trying vicissitudes of her afflicting situation. Perhaps the crowd of horrors which pressed upon one feeling heart, Ares too much to be strictly probable--possibility is a dangerous limit to be natural. The life of a gambler, though exposed to all the temptations which degrade human nature, should not be drawn in such appalling colours, as to destroy the effect of that morality, which it aims at inculcating. In the present piece, the incidents of demoniacal horror are too much crowded. They might all occur, in the course of a century, but hardly in one indivi dual life. The gambler begins with deceit—pro ceeds to forgery—perpetrates murder on the person of a stranger, who had relieved his wants, and ends by compassing the life of his own son at the moment when filial affection had hastened to relieve him from misery. and shame. The lurking feeling of the gambler's heart was strongly depicted by a single instance : when all other attempts at reconciliation had failed, his partner in crime and disgrace drew out a pack of cards, and, by their " well-known music," instantly won a passage to the heart of the depraved and infatuated gamester. Mr. Terry, as the disguised friend, but secret villain, performed the character very effectually. Mr.' Yates had little to do, but that lie did well. Mr. T. P. Cooke personated the Hero with great spirit. We never beheld a more deplorable contrast than he represented in his lucky days, and after his misery and banishment. It was too painful to contemplate, but the moral may be edifying. The piece was an nounced for repetition till further notice, amid un bounded applause. HAYMARKET. The Haymarket Theatre closed last night for the season. The following was the speech matte by Mr. W. Farren on the occasion " Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is not merely in compliance with custom that I come fOrward on the present occasion ; but to express the feelings of the Proprietors and Per formers of this Theatre, and to testify their grateful sense of the patronage with which you have honoured their eir cutnwribed season. Oo the .part -of the "Proprietere, I trust I may be permitted to observe, that they have endea voured to merit the * approbation and encouragement of the public, by their constant exertion to indUce some of the most popular authors to produce for your amusement their dramatic novelties at this theatre—most of which have been honoured by the sanction of your applause. It will be their earnest endeavour to manifest their desire for the continu ance of public patronage, by equal zeal for the interest of the Drama, and equal solicitude to deserve your support on every future occasion. On the part of the Performers, per mit me to add, that they are proud of the approbation with which they have been honoured—this they deem their best reward, and this will stimulate their future efforts. I now, Ladies and Gentlemen, in the name of the Proprietors and Performers, most respectfully take my leave, sincerely hoping to have the pleasure of seeing you here next season, in health and happiness; When, animated with the same ardent ambition to deserve your support, we shall again hope for the cheering encouragement of your applause." CONCISE AND POETIC. In this here grave lies poor Jack Slim, Who was drown'd in the sea, because he could not swim, And that is all that is known of him. Virtue would never go far if Vanity did not keep her company. The Weather has been very stormy during the past week. It has rained for several days almost incessantly, and the mountain streams are in consequence much swollen. The river Nairn is by the country people alleged to be higher than it has been for the last 60 years ; it has carried away several wooden bridges erected over it. —.lnverness Journal. Repentance proceeds less from a regret for the evil we have done than from a fear of that which it may occasion to ourselves. The Duchess of the great Duke of Marl borough was pressing him to take some medicine, and said to him to him--" I will be hanged if it do not prove ser viceable." Dr. Garth being present, said—." Do take it then, since it must be serviceable one way or the other." " Why; are you so . melancholy," said the Duke of Marlborough to a soldier after the battle of Blenheim. " I am thinking," replied the man, " how much human blood I have this day shed for sixpence !"

A p oor man, of the nam e o f Finn, who was l a bouring 'd rea df u l ly under to h thatsyioc gentleman,homlriacism fo h r ea t r h i e ng puorf Mr. Gall a h er , asked his pose of bei ng cured.

Tie therefore recommended Finn to apply to this celebrated v entriloquist. Upon calling on Mr. Gallaher, Finn said that he used to be afflicted by Fairies, who were constantly going 'into his mouth, and after capering through his stomach, would then snake their exit through his ears. "Oh ! I see they area great annoyance to you, my poor man," said Gallaher, 6, but I shall soon make them quit you." Gallaher then threw his voice successively into the man's mouth and ears, and at length brought it down to his stomach, and made it ap pear as if several people were making their escape out o e f ;v the knees of Finn's breeches. Finn fell down on his knees to bless the ventriloquist, and declares that they have never since troubled him—that be can now read his prayer-book in peace and quietness—a thing the fairies never before permit!eJ him to dommTipperary Free Pre:s. SPIRIT Off' THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The public will learn, and we believe with approbation, the existence of a design to raise by subscription a monument to Mr. Canning's memory. It is natural that such a proposition should come, in the first instance, from those who during the life-time of that distinguished gentleman were among his more immediate inti mates and friends ; because, perhaps, it might be difficult to find a number of individuals, not bound to him by personal ties and affections, who would accept the supplementary part of the undertaking—namely, the trouble of a minut e attention to those details of management in the collection and application of the money which are always necessary towards ensuring a success ful and satisfactory result. It is, however, a cre-! Bitable circumstance to many noblemen and gen tlemen, connected no otherwise with Mr. Can ning than by a community of opinions on great national interests and questions, that they have added their honourable names to the list of the late Minister'S private friends, as parties to the 'notice of a future public meeting, to consist of subscribers to this consolatory though melancholy purpose. The complete attainment of such an object has our hearty good wishes. We feel that the people generally will consider it not merely a tribute of regret and admiration to Mr. Can ning's memory, but in some, and in no small degree, as• an implicit pledge of the national sympathy with that great cause, of which Mr. Canning was, no less by spirit and talent than by political position and opportunity, the most conspicuous, efficacious, and acknowledged champion. rt is not alone, we repeat, that Mr. Canning was an eloquent expounder and advo atanh d e b y e h x wi h si i exhibited aspira tions realized. Th e p er i o d at w hi ch the deceased i e s r l empire p everyire to p in rinciples oariorsit honour oiocgoiwupifirnitesl pasloaleiiwtirdsneworolipelil prosperity, t c toroh y es ebpbwyeerliti very itoecynh ra i sefi xe t d h e B le v er instrumentfboruethat his England, was o rn f o E re n conductor was not more o A f li t n h i e st f e o r re b i e gn eam p e ol t ie h y e fortunate for his own fame than it was cri tical for the redemption of his country - . He ' was placed, by the happy accident which brought his predecessor's system to an end, as the line which separated light from darkness. He was the bridge between that state in which despotism thrives by perpetuating wrongs, and that more natural and moral condit?bn in which nations prosper by redressing them. We do not say that all this was to be ascribed as positive praise to Mr. Canning: our honest persuasion is, that he was flung by the fate of battle into the breach, and that his sole choice was between glory and degradation. But being what he was, ordered by supreme power to lead the van, we owe it to his courage that he went on boldly, and if he did not live long enough to win the fight, that at least he showed the way to victory. It is from this public view of the station which Ar. Canning filled—of the objects for which it was as much his fate as his pride to contend— of the noble cause for which, so pitched upon by Providence, he struggled—and of the memo rable and affecting circumstances under which he prematurely perished, that we earnestly second the call made upon our countrymen by the sub joined list of Noblemen and 'Gentlemen, to honour Mr. Canning's name, and still more— far more—to record their attachment to his prin. ciples and policy, on which hangs the welfare of many generations, by coming forward in the manner and with the alacrity recommended to them, and subscribing generally, if not largely, for the erection of a national monument. The creatures of the old humbled faction will sneer, and rave, and curse at the authors of this salu tary project : so much the more manifest will be its wisdom and its use—so much more impas sable and immeasurable will they render the gulf which divides them from their country—so much more confident may be the people of Eng land in the justice of their own political feelings, and the more decided and tenacious in uphold ing them.— Times. We have already more than once observed, with respect to the , Emigration Report, that however Inadequate Emigration may prove as a remedy for the disease under which we are now suffering, one great advantage would be derived from the body of evidence obtained by the Com mittee, that the attention of the country gene rally would be directed to the most important of all subjects ! namely, the manner in which the social system of a country can be preserved in a healthy state. The people of this country are,. take them all in all, the best informed in Europe ; but this does not say very much for them, — They have enjoyed peculiar advantages from their situation—their freedom from external attack, the facility with which communication can be carried on between this country and the rest of the world, and one part of the country and another, the • mildness of the temperature, the productiveness of the soil in all that minis ters to health, and supplies the materials for in dustry, for the produce of which foreign luxuries are received in exchange. Under these favour.. able circumstances, it would have been sin gu l ar if England had not taken the lead in civilization, and if she had not distinguished herself in many branches of knowledge. England is the native country of mechanical invention, and the impor tant sciences of politics and political economy have owed more to Englishmen than, to the na tives of any other country. But yet, when one considers the peculiar advantages possessed by the people of this country, and th e distinguished individuals who have , from • time to time, thrown i h li t? at on the most mportant of the moral sciences in England, since the time of the civil wars downwards, the fir st f e e l i n g is th a t of wonder that the people should not be more ad-, vanced. The mass of prejudices in circulation throughout all ranks is, indeed, enormous. On the subject to which the E m igration Report re lates, for instance, how numerous are the people on their we every where mee t, w ith good coats _ _ _ backs, who will rave to you against the Malthu ,ian System, and the horrible blasphemy against God and nature (this is the sort of cant used), g on the supposition of any powers Navin been Riven to man in vain, and so forth. You will meet Ivith Religionists who will quote to you th e divine command to increase and multiply ; and who will tell you coolly, that obedience to that command alone would never produce evil in the world, were it not for misgovernment and op pression. You hear men referring complacently to the immense spaces on the surface of the globe yet underpeopled ; and maintaining that it is time enough to restrain the ungo vernablemost of Ell our propensiti es when the earth is fully peopled, as if when ou r country was overpeopled the surplus could be conveyed with the utmost ease to a distant part ofthe globe.
