LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN, MATh'ill 24, 1834. COURT OF CHANCERY, M ARCH 22. His LORDSHIP gave judgment at the rising of the Court in the following case : WILSON V. MOORE. His LORDSHIP said that John Cranford had carried on, with his three sons, James, Andrew, and John, a consi derable business at Port Glasgow, in Scotland, in North America, and the West Indies, and that between the houses of John Cranford and Co. and Joseph Marryat and Son, the London agents of the former firm, a close intercourse and a cordial correspondence by way of trade had for a long period subsisted. Mr. John Cranford. the elder, died in 1811. Messrs. Marryat and Son obtained proof of his will for his executors, his three ons and his widow, and he (the Lord Chancellor) entirely agreed with his Honour the Master of the Rolls in considering the fact of the proof as one of the most important circumstances of the case. In January, 1814, the firm of Crauford and Co., having established a new house at Lisbon, drew upon Messrs. Marryat . and Son to a considerable amount, and also sent to the same firm a power of attorney, signed by; the acting executor; to enable Alessi... Marryat and' Son to sell such portions of the Stock as might be necessary to meet the advances made to the , Glasgow' house. Messrs. Cranford and Co. continued to draw on Marryat and Son up to 181 b, When the whole of the Stock became exhausted, and large advances mule by Marryat and Son were remaining unpaid. In 1816 the Glasgow firm stopped payment, and a suit was commenced . ' by the five younger chiidron of the late Mr. J Crau • ford, who were pecuniary or general legatees, and who also took a residuary interest in whatever might be realized of their father's estate, against Marryat and Son, to obtain the replacement of the Stock, which it was contended had been sold in breach of trust, and to which breach of trust the house of Marryat and Son had been parties. The matter had come before his Honour the Master of the Rolls, who had decided in favour of the plaintiffs, and had ordered the Stock to be replaced to the estate of John Crauford, deceased ; but at the same time gave Marryat and San leave to prove against Messrs. Cranford and Co. to the amount of the Stock sold by them in accordance with the executors' directions. His lord ship, upon a full consideration, agreed with his Honour the Master of the Rolls, and should affirm that Learned Judge's decree, with costs. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 22. The house sat to-day for the purpose of receiving seve. ral bills from the Commons, and to forward the bills on the table a stage. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack at a quarter-past four o'clock. The Lambeth Water Works Bill, the Henefield Road Bill, and the Exeter Market Bill, were read a second time and ordered to be committed. Mr. BERNAL, Mr. G. W. WOOD, and other mem• bers of the House of Commons, brought up a copy of the report of the committee on the Liverpool Freemen Dis franchisement Bill, the Pension Duties Bill, the Quali fication Indemnity Bill, the Smuggling Act Amendment Bill, the Consolidated Fund Bill, and the Wigan Branch Railway Bill, which were severally read a first time. The house then adjourned to Monday at half-past twelve o'clock. THE NIGER EXPEDITION. NATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, and C OMMER- CIAL 'UP ORTAN CE. [As farther lights continue tola s thrown upon the course of the Niger, that geographical problem of many hundred rears; and as its importance, in a commercial view, open mg a way into the interior of Africa, becomes more ap preciable, we naturally look with even increased interest fo every circumstance connected with its exploration. Thus, the expeditions of Mungo Pirk excited a strong sensation, and have left a mournful recollection on the public mind ; and thus the equally adventurous and noble, and the more successful, enterprises of the brothers Lander, and espe cially of him, still in the midst of perils and privations, to whom the annexed account relates, have fixed the admira tion of their country. The present feeling is perhaps en hanced, as the prospect of utility is certainly much enlarged by the remarkable coincidence of these gallant efforts with ;the application of the navigating powers of steam. There eight have been generations of Landers, with lives de flitoted to the cause, the sole reward of which would have ;been the discovery of a river's source and termination ; ':but now there is 'combined with that end the cheerine ''hope ; of extending civilization, of strangling the hydra '.slaver2i,..irLi.s cradle, and of diffusing comfort and happir ness over a - ir - jai - quarter of the globe. Assuredly it is a glorious thing to I.e signally and prosperously engaged in hying the foundations for a consummation so devoutly to be wished. In setting before our readers the latest intelligence from the scene of these exertions, we may also mention other matters connected with them, which have reached us from various quarters. A friend in Glasgow informs us, that, stimulated by reports of the xtretne cheapness of those staple articles, ivory and indigo, at R ihba, and other en couraging mercantile news, and also by higher motives, the design of sending out another Niger expedition is contem plated by an association of Glasgow merch :nts. This pa triotic undertaking is, we have reason to believe, actually in progress. Never, indeed, was there a more favourable opportunity than is now offered for penetrating into the unknown regions of Africa, to explore the magnificent Lake Tsliad, and correct the geography of the central parts of this interesting continent—left vague and incorrect by Herodotus, Pliny, Ptolemy, Leo Africanus, and all the Arabian au. lorities. The African indigo is, we are assured by competent judges who have examined specimens of it on the coast, superior to that imported from the East Indies ; and this accounts for the beautiful blue dye and brilliant colour of the native clothing. We are convinced that eminent benefit to the trade of England may speedily result from this alone; but when we add, that its prime cost on the Niger was not three halfpence p r pound, anti that the ivory was less than twopence, we have said enough to awaken the spirit of commercial speculation to a pursuit which promises such returns.—Ed. Lit. Gaz.] Accounts of this interesting expedition, up to the sth of January, have been received. At that date Lanier was on board the Curlew ship of war, on his way to Cape Coast Castle, for the purpose of procuring a particular species of goods for the markets of the interior, of which he bad nut previously taken a sufficient supply. If suc cessful in tbis object, it was his intention to return to the mouth of the Nun ; thence to re-ascend the Niger for the third time, and endeavour to penetrate as far up the river as Boussa. It is highly interesting to know that, pre vious to his last return to the coast, Lander and Lieut. Allen had fortunately reached Rabbah, or Rabba (a large Falatab town), in the iron steam boat ; and, f,r the space of thirteen or fourteen days, had maintained a friendly intercourse, and carried on an advantageous trade, with its inhabitants. The depth of the water at that place was between two and three fathoms, and, as far as could be seen beyond it, the Niger was free from rocks and other obstructions, and assumed a majestic and very encouraging appearance. For the reason already mentioned Lander was obliged to return to vie coast, though it has been intimated to us that he hastily quitted Rabbah on account of some unfavourable tumours which had reached him, to the effect that the people wish,d to inveigle our country men on shore, in order to seize their persons, and de stroy their boat. This is, however, an improbable supposition ; for, as far as we can learn, the general bearing of the inhabit ants towards the English was any thing but hostile. This important town is inhabited by Falatabs and negroes, and realises the expectations that had been formed of it, as regards its extent, its wealth, and its population. A few Tuaricks, from the borders of the desert, and other Arabs, were observed by our coun trymen in the streets of Rabbah. Another important feature of this expedition is, the circumstance that our travellers have ascended the river Tshodda, as high as 150 miles from its junction with the Niger. At that point, and at some distance below and above it, the river was found to be intersected with islanus, and comparatively shallow, alternately becoming brood and narrow, in proportion as its channel was free from, or obstructed by, these islands. No traces of in habitants appeared on the banks of this very interesting river; and Lander and his valuable coadjutor were com pelled to return to the Niger for want of provisions. All the natives in this part of the country agree in the asser tion that the TslosiAa communicates with Lake Tshad, the inland sea of Africa. They do not hazard this as a mere conjecture, but state it with confidence as a well know•n and undisputed fact. This being the case, though it be at variance with the opinion entertained of it bx many of our scientific countrymen, the concurrent testimony of the natives, who, after all, are better acquainted than we ate with the geography of their own country, is entitled to respect. It should also be remembered that the Tshadda has not received its name (any more than its gigantic namesake) from Europeans, hut from the natives themselves, who have never bestowed on it any other appellation. On a small island near Atte, Lander has erected a kind of mud fort, which will also answer the purpose of a depot for British goods. This place has been named English Island,aad it possesses pecu liar facilities for trading purposes in that part of the coun. try. The King of Atta, svho seems to have formed an attachment to Lander, had presented him will four small but very beautiful horses, which he succeeded in convey ing to Fernando Po. Poor old P A°, the black who buried Belzoni, and whose name occurs so frequently in Clapper ton's journal and the narrative of the Landers, is dead. He had joined the present expedition at Cape Coast Castle, and expired up the Niger, after a short illness. Lieut. Allen has rendered an important service to the cause of science by the observations he made while on the Niger and Tsliedda. In fact, they must he invaluable. We beieve this enterprising and intrepid young officer is expected to arrive shortly from the coast of Africa; and it is almost needless to say we shall hail his return to his native country with infinite pleasure. Lander has lost every symptom of his late severe indisposition, and looks as hardy as an Arab. He wears a luxuriant beard which extends to his waist.—. Literary Gazette. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.)

MELANCHOLY LOSS OF THE BARQUE ASIA, OF LONDON. We have been furnished with the following account of the barque Asia, of Lander], Stevenson master, by the friends of one of her crew, who has received a letter, dated Philadelphia, Feb. 10 :—The veesel sailed (from whence it is not stated) on the 24th of November last, bound to London, with a pleasant breeze from the N.W. which continued until they were clear of the Bird Islands, when it was succeeded by a heavy gale from N.W. to N., the sea running mountains high. From the severe frost at the time the exertions of the crew were almost frustrated, one man having lost his fingers, another his legs, and a third a part of his feet. In this distressing condition, however, from the quantity of water in the hold, all those of the crew who were able were forced to work at the pumps night and day, and which they con tinued fer seven days, but at nine a. m. of the 17th of December, the gale increased to such a state of violence that the ship became quite unmanageable. They were then under close-reefed topsails and reefed foresail, with nine feet water in the hold. Orders were eiven by the Captain to cleue up the sails, which was complied with, but the ship was settling so rapidly that they had not time to furl the sails before it was found necessary to secure what provisions they could. These necessaries were, how ever; scarcely secured oh the poop, when the ship turned bottom up, and the Captain, together with Capt. Hamil ton, a cabin passenger, and five of the crew; were washed off the wreck, and sunk to rise no more. Two of the unfortunate crew, named James Maclaman ' and George Swansford, were native• of this town. The remainder of her crew succeeded, after repeated struggles, in getting on the bottom of the vessel, and subsequently succeeded in cutting away the lanyards of the main rigging, when the quantity of water in the sails caused the main andA mizen masts to go by the board, and the vessel im mediately righted. Nothing but the hull and fore mast was now left, the boats and all the gear having been car ried away. The situation of the survivors was here more deplorable than before, left without a morsel of provision or water, with no time for serious thought, the cries of the more timid were most agonizing —wet, weary, arid almost frozen with cold, they remained in the foretop during the first night, and when morning broke they succeeded in getting the fore-top mast stay-sail, which they cut up to shelter themselves from the cold. In this situation teey remained for six days and nights, without food or water, their sufferines from thirst being the most excruciating—without chart or compass it was impossible for them to tell where they were, and their last hope was that Providence would protect them, and to their unspeak able joy, about five P.M. of the 23d December, six clays after their vessel upset, a sail hove in sight, and which eventually proved to be the John Willis, of Philadelphia, from Liverpool, with passengers, bound to the former place. At this time it was blowing a heavy gale from the W.N. W., the shipwrecked crew hailed them as well as from their weakened state they were able, with three cheers, and after four hours' suspense between hope and fear, the gale not having abated until nine Pat., the boats of the John Willis succeeded in taking them off the wreck. Here they were treated with the greatest kind ness, but after they had been on board three days they were obliged to be put on short provisions, until they arrived at Philadelphia, on the Bth of February last. The British here provided them with clothes and provisions, and will send them to England by the first opportunity.— Devonport Telegraph. TRADES' UNION OF JOURNEYMEN CHIM.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF BIGAMY.- A MAN WITH FOUR WIVES.—At the Surrey sessions, on Friday, John Stansfield, otherwise Stansfield Wood , dapper looking little fellow, aged twenty-six , late a wane' at one of the clubhouses at the west end of the town, was indicted for intermarrying with Anne Hattersly, an interesting young female, on the let of December last, his former wile being then living. It was proved that he mar tied the last mentioned wife on the 29th of February, 1833, and that he again led a lair one to the altar on the let of December !arming. He was convicted, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour, at Guild ford- The f•ur wives heard the sentence with great delight, et;d repaired to a public-house, where they had a regular jollification on the occasion.

It is long since (says the Athenceunz) we have had a volume from the pen of Mary Hewitt. In the "Seven Temptations," however, she has chosen a bold subject—none other rhan the strife between good and evil—anti wrought it out by a series of scenes from life— (not the life of this century, or that country, but in its most universal sense)—which she has dashed off with a free and fearless pencil. We have read the volume with sincere pleasure. The delightful authoress of " The Seven Temptations" unites within herself a purity of feeling—an earnest simplicity—solemn, sarcastic, or tender, as th, subject may require—closely resembling the lifelike pathos of Defoe, with such an occasional sublimity of imagination as is shared by few, very few women. On Friday an inquest was held at the London Hospital, before Mr. Baker, on the body of William Cox, aged 17. The deceased was in the employ of Mr. Daniels, perfumer, at 13, Bury-street.

There was no powder in the touch holes of the pistols, and at last deceased said to the other, " Come, let us have a duel ;" Mr. Hawkes's son replied I don't mind, I am sure that they will not go off." They stood opposite to each other, anti on Mr. Hawkes's son pulling the trigger of the pistol from which they had endeavoured to extract the ball, the piece went off, and the ball lodged in the right temple of the deceased. He died at the Hospital on Tuesday. Verdict.—. Accidental Death. (PRICE 7!).) gg„ iX , SL of_ z 72 'cif PAPERS. (From Galiyn . aore Messenger of Friday.) The Madrid Gazette of the I ith inst. coMains the following decree:—" Being desirous by ail legal moat, of consolidating the national credit, which is the bas's t f the prosperity and glory of the country, I have ordained 1. That for the present all provisions made for Pieta .n -daries, canons, and all other ecclesiastical h=r: fits, eaczpt for those who have the cure of soul-, for the prebends de officio, and the presidents of chapters, shall lie sospel i e o. 2.

You will take this fir granted, and provide for its execution.—S:gned by the band of the Queen at the Palace, this 9th March, 1834 —To Don Nicol.io Maria Gerefly." " This determination," says a letter which communicates the above decree of the government, " shows that it is convinced of the necessity of having recourse to the immense wealth possessed by the Spanish elergy, whose resources may relieve the Treasury, and at the same time diminish the elements of civil war, by taking from the priests the means of influencing the populace in favour of Charles V. The decree at the same time shows that M. Martintz de la Rosa entertains a statesmanlike notion of political economy, by doing every thing in his power to give confidence to the public creditors of Spain, and dissipate the fears excited by the report of 11. Gargolio." The Augsburg Gazette of the 17th inst. contains the following extract of a private letter of the 10th from \lentz :—" The office of Governor of the Fortresses in our city devolving on Prussia in a tuber next, the King's son, Prince Frederick of Prussia, who has property in tale neighbourhood, has been appointed to it. General Muffling is spoken of as Vice-governor.

As soon as spring weather has set in. his Majesty proposes to travel, visiting ,he Tyrol, to inspect the new fortress erecting there, then descending into Lombardy, where he intends to fix his residence, by turns, at Milan and Venice. In July his Majesty will return to the baths at Heilg nellen. Tte young Queen of Hungary has been in a suffering state for sonie time past. The Congress at Vienna proceeds slowly, being obliged to communicate with the Germanic Diet. At first, like a rich young bride, all eyes were turned upon it; now it may be compared to a virtuous housewife, of whom so little is known that nothing can be sail. The Giovane Italia has again proclaimed its existence by an assassination at Farms. Recent events in Savoy prove that it cannot aspire to higher deeds. What is said of the tranquillity of the Turkish empire can only relate to the capital ; in all other parts of these dominions there is the same uncer tainty and insecurity as to the future. Mehemet Ali and his warlike son do not trouble themselves about peace ; they are reinforcing army and fleet, and make no conceal ment of their schemes of conquest. The Frankfort Gazette, of the 17th instant, states that in the night of the sth the old bridge over the S.ale, at Halle, fell in ; the mail is now obliged to take another road, and to cross this liver at Krollwiiz.

In the " Recollections of a Naval Life," by Captain Scott, will be found a series of most amusing de rails connected with engagements at sea in the East and West Indies, America, and the shores of Europe. The gallant writer saw more service than falls to the lot of many of his brethren in the profession, and, perhaps, a more eventful autobiography than his has never been given to the public. DEBTS OF THE DUKE OF YORK.—A peti tion will be presented to Parliament, after the recess, from the creditors of the 1 arke of York, whose claims, notwithstanding the stir that was made some time back, still remain in stalu quo, after a quiet repose in the Court of Chancery of seven years, the creditors being ignorant of what is doing, or is likely to be done for them. M toy of t-ose persons are humble tradesmen, in the deepest distress. It is understood that if the grant of the Nova Scotia mines, including Cape Breton, which was made to the Duke of York in his lifetime, but which has since been disputed, were confirmed by his present Mijesty, there would be sufficient to pay every debt, and leave a large surplus to the Princess Sophia, who is residuary legatee. It is high time something should be done to relieve the memory of the Duke from the stigma ss hizh rests upon it. Observer. A singular fatality is attached to the riches of Ali Pacha, as well as to the persons who were destined by him to enjoy them. At the peri?d when be quarrelled with the Porte, and expecting an attack the issue of which might be fatal to him, he sent . all his treasures to Corfu, directing that in case of his death they should be divided between his two sons, Mouctar and Veli , and in case of their death, among his grandchildren, and finally, on failure of them, between Sir Thomas Mait land and Sir Frederick Adam. Mouctar and Veli have both been killed, all the grandchildren have perished, and Sir Thomas Maitland is no more, leaving Sir Fre derick Adam sole survivor.
