COURT OF CHANCERY. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN EREINGTON, A LUNATTr Mr. SWADWELL stated, that, in this - matter Lord Sefton applied as one of the personal. representatives .of the lunatic, who the petition stated was now. dead. There were seven next of kin of th e hinatic, leaving ;n Court a sum of 163,0001. Consols, which was to be equally divided among the next of kin. The prayer of the petition was, that, the sums might be ordered to be transferred and divided among the next of kin. They all consented, and were the only persons intere:sted. This was rather a curious lunacy, for the lunatic was permitted to act for him self, and then became a lunatic again. VICE.•CHANCELLOR'S COURT. MR. ARCHBOLD'S BOOKS. ARCHBOLD V. SWFET, &C. This was an appliCation to dissolve an injunction, which had been obtained ex-parte to restrain—the defendants, who are booksellers, from printing or publishing a second edition,of Mr. Archbold's work on the - Bankrupt Laws, and his Summary of Plead ings in Criminal Cases. Mr. SUDDEN in support of the application said, that Mr. Archbold had sold the copyright of these books to the defendants for 400/. each, and at the same time agreed to make, a regular assignment of them whenever he should be called on; that contract had never been rescinded, so that the legal owner ship was clearly in the defendants. Mr. HEALD opposed_ the motion; he admitted that such an agreement had 'been entered into in June, 1825. Nothing material had occurred until the August of the following year, when the defendant Sweet wrote to the plaintiff, and in his letter said that the- value of the copyright was not so great as , the author seemed inclined to think, and at the same tiMe'declared:that he was quite ready to relin quish the agreement for the purchase of them, provided the plaintiff should refiffid - the money . • • - which he had received on account of them, and also return the outstanding hills which were given for the remainder. Mr. Sweet had flied no specific period for the repayment. The consequence of this was, that Mr. Archbold took time to consult his father-in-law, who resided in Yorkshire, on the subject. The defendants did not press the matter, thereby, as the Learned Gentleman conceived, acquiescing in the delay. On the 9th of October, however, Mr. Archbold wrote to defend ants, to say, that he was advised by his father-in law, to accept their proposal. The letter went 'on to declare, that he mentioned this fact to Mr. Sweet's son en the next morning, but that for regularity's sake, he now, made the communication in writing; he at the same time added that his clerk had been directed to repay the money and securities which had been received on account of the books from Mr. Sweet. In answer to this part of the plaintiff's statement Mr. Sweet declared that the money had never been tendered to him by the clerk, and that if it had, he would not have accepted it. The defendant admitted that this letter from the plaintiff had been delivered by the clerk, but the money alluded to in it. never (he said) made its appearance. On the 12th of October the plaintiff had another letter from Mr. Sweet, making a similar o ff er to give up th e copy r i g ht o f t h e b o ok s - with the additional condition that Mr. .Arch bold should not publish any new editions of them until the copies then on hand should be dis. posed of. Mr. Archbold replied, that he would ac cede to this proposal, provided he was allowed suffi cient time for the repayment. The affidavit of the plaintiff went on to say, that the defendant Sweet declared himself satisfied, and thus the matter rested until the defendant had advertised a second edition of the work on the Bankrupt Laws. Under' these circumstances, the Learned Gentleman submitted, that the defendants had agreed to re-convey their interest in the_ books to Mr. Archbold, and that, therefore, the injunction ought to continue. The VICE-CiLiNcm.Lon, - in giving judgment, said . that he had examined minutely the affidavits on both , sides, vith the view of seeing wheth er h e h a d b een warranted in granting the ex-parte injunction. The result of this examination was,_ the conviction that; without departing from the fixed practice of the Court, he could not have refused. The Court ought to be particularly cautious how it was led into granting ex-parte injunctions, as they were frequently the cause of irreparable injury to. the parties, and in many instances affected their reputation in suelt manner that money could not be placed in compe tition with the loss. It was not, however, for him to introduce any new principle, but to apply the rules of the Court as he found them. In the pre sent case it appeared that Mr. Archbold had, in 1826, agreed to sell the copyright of the works in question—of this bargain he afterwards repented, and on complaining to the defendants, was told by them; that if he gave back the money and bills, to the amount of 8001., which they had paid him, he• might then have his copyright. It must, of course not be inferred from this offer, that the plaintiff was to have an unlimited period for the re payment, and as it was not made within a reasonable time, the offer to rescind the contract, could not be much relied on. The defendants, it clearly appeared, had every disposition to accom modate the plaintiff, but no one. for an instant could imagine that they would be contented to do without their money until such . period, however remote, as the plaintiff should take it into • his head to pub lish a new edition. It was very material in this case that the plaintiff's clerk. had not made an affidavit of his having the money and bills for the purpose of handing them over to the -defendants. Such an affidavit would have shewn that the offer had been made bona fide, and that the clerk was not only prepared to pay it, but .to pay it instanter. Upon "a full consideration of the whole of the case, his Honour was decidedly. of opinion that the injunction ought not to lie continued. In coming to this decision he merely declared . that Mr. Archbold had not made out a. -sufficiently strong case to justify the Court in conti numg it. There could be no doubt but that the legal title to the copyright was in the -defend ants. At the same time it would be open to the plaintiff to file a bill in this Court, if be should so think fit, to compel the defendants to the specific performance of their contract, to resell the copyright to him. As to the question of costs, his Honour must be guided by the authority of Lord Eldon, whe had laid it down, that, if on the dissolving of an ex pane injunction, it should appear that, upon the applicatiOn for it, any material facts calculated to enlighten the Court had been withheld, the in junction was in such a case •to •be ' dissolved, with costs: Now his Honour thought that the rule in question ought to apply here, and that the injunction should be accordingly discharged with costs. At the same time, he could not refrain from recommending the parties to call in the assistance of some friend, who should arbitrate between them, instead. of involving themselves in expensive litigation: They had been• for a considerable time connected in a very friendly way, and as it would appear in a manner profitable to both, and this course would, whilst it was more honourable, be also more satisfactory to them in the end. An elephant's tusk was lately discovered, four feet deep, imbedded in a lime quarry, at King's Newnbam, near Coventry. INDIAN DEATII-BLAST.---At Banda Bundelcund (one of the northern provinces of Hindostan), there are numerous rocky bills, which during the hot winds become so thoroughly heated as to retain their warmth from sun-set to sun-rise. The natives, at that sultry season, invariably wear large folds of cloth around their heads and faces, just leaving themselves sufficiently exposed to be able to see and breathe. This precaution is taken in consequence of the terrific blasts which occasion ally rush in narrow streams from between the hills. Per sons crossed by these scorching. winds drop suddenly to the earth as if shot by a musket b:711. When medical assistance, or a supply of cold water is instantaneously procured, a re covery may generally be expected, but if no immediate re medy b e applied, an almost certain death is the result._ 4nclon Weekly Review.

Throughout the counties of Berks a'hi Buck ingham there is every prospect of a most abundant harvest. Nothing can look better than the wheat and barley crops, which in some placs are begun to be harvested. Oats, in some instances, look well, in others they present but a thin appearance. The potatoes want rather more rain ; how ever, if a few genial showers should come between this time and the time of their ripening, this crop will be as good as can be wished.—Morning Paper. The last fortnight of fine weather has greatly advanced the crops. Oats, in early situations, are nearly at their length ; and generally they are coming into ear. Harvest, therefore, may be expected to begin about the end of August. Wherever the ground is in tolerable heart, the produce, both in grain and straw, is likely to be abundant. On cold poor soils the straw will be short. Barley will be a moderate crop. The wheat has improved during the warm weather; but the want of plant s w ill occas i on a great defalcati on i n th e return. Potatoes are beginning to bloom.

DUBLIN, JULY 25.---Within these .few days an affair. has taken place which has caused muck surprise and indignation amongst those Who have heard the particulars. The matter is, how ever, involved in great secrecy, and has not yet found its way into the public prints. • The trans action to which I allude is One unparalleled in this country, and is nothing less than the abduc tion of a nun ! The affair, as I have heard it related, is simply this :—Miss being left, an orphan some years since, with a considerable property, was placed by her guardians in the school of the convent of --, for the purpose of being educated. Her sister, who was older, contracted a marriage with an individual belong ing to the Methodist connection. • When the subject of these remarks had been for some time under the care of the : sisters of --, she ac quirea a relish for a monastic life- that eventually" terminated in her.embracing..4,,, ,She was re ceived," and, in - due' time, With the usual so lemnity, " professed." Her brother-in-law was incensed at this sacrifice of he r lib er ty. A few days since sheiWas told by the convent ser vant that some of her friends waited to see her, and she immediately proceeded to the place where 'they were: After some time spent in conversation, she led them, at their request, into the garden 'of the convent, from whence there was a door leading into a by-road ; when she approached this door,.— pulled a pistol from his bosom,: and pointed it at her head, de claring at ,the same time, that instant death awaited her if she made the least noise or effort to escape ; thus threatened; she was constrained to be silent. A- signal was given, and the, gar den door previously described was flung open.— A carriage was in waiting, into which she was hurried, and placed between- men armed with fire-arms. The blinds were drawn up, and the vehicle was driven off with rapidity. TowardS night the carriage approached a town in a remote county, and drove up to a sequestered house.--' The nun was quickly taken from the carriage, and conducted to a distant room, -where she was closely . confined and watched. For some days she was taunted: with her act in becom ing a nun, and implored to break her vows, return again to the World, and marry.— She calmly resisted these attempts to alter her opinions,• and depended . on chance to effect - her rescue from her keepers. At length the individual who bore ,the prominent part in this transaction introduced to her as her future husband, a Method4st preacher ! I4itherto, comparatively calm, she now lost all endurance, and in a tone.of indignant protestation, declared that she would sooner forfeit her life than yield , to this base outrage on her inclination. Stibdued by the resoluteness of her manner, and terrified by the effect which their conduct had produced on her feelings, these unmanly violators of 'the law retired, and she was once more consigned to the care of those who were placed to wateli her. Accident at length restored her to her liberty: An inmate of her prison was about to set off for Dublin. The stage-coich drove to the door, and the guard sounded his horn. The hall- door was opened, and at this moment extra ordinary strength and energy possessed the fair captive ; she rushed from her keepers, darted with the. rapidity of lightning down the stairs, and sprung into the coach.— She exclaimed in a tone of joy and triumph, that she was free, and implored the protection of a gentleman who was a passenger. A crowd quickly gathered, and it soon became evident that any effort to constrain the inclinations of this injured lady would be dangerous. The coach proceeded to Dublin, and that night saw sister --restored to .her affectionate associates. There the matter stands. Whether this outrage will be punished by the law or not I cannot. say. I have heard that the lady who has been so cruelly used feels a reluctance, from motives which, however ''amiable in the abstract, ought not in such a case to be allowed to operate, to prosecute the actors in this nefarious transaction. It is said that having made a vow of seclusion, no earthly inducement should tempt an inhabit ant of a convent into the world, much less, it is argued, should she leave her abode of peace to invoke the punishment of the law even upon an enemy whose offences religion teaches her to forgive. wwwwzif 1 7 ASIIIO'NAI3LE ANT) MISCELLANEOUS WINDSOR, JULY 27.—Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, the King's new phaeton (the double bodied one) and three single phaetons, together with an open carriage and grand retinue of out-riders, were in readiness at the Royal Lodge, when his MAJESTY, accom paniedby her Royal. Highness tha Duchess of KENT, en tered his phaeton, and was followed in the double-bodied phaeton by her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princesses FIODORE and VICTORIA, and the Baroness DE SPAEDTH. The Duke of LEEDS, Earl of CEANwir..- LIAM, Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, and his MAJESTY'S at tendants, followed in the Other carriages. On leaving the Royal Lodge his MAJESTY proceeded by Sandpit-gate, 2jill-gate, Manor-hill, China-island, Blackness, the dry Arch, Long-ride, passing the Elgin Marbles, and, after making nearly the tour of the Lake, arrived at the Royal Marquee at half-past four o'clock. Shortly after, dinner was served up. At half-past five the rain set in, when the phaetons were sent to Cumberland Lodge, and close carriages ordered in their stead. After dinner the KING and his party returned to the Royal Lodge, as did also his MAJESTY'S Band, where they played during the evening. This day the KING, with the whole of the Royal party, will dine at Virginia Water. His MA JESTY'S private Band have orders to attend. This day the Queen of WURTEMBERG, ac companied by their Royil Highnesses Princess Auousza, DuchessofGLOUcESTER ) PrincesseaFFowaßand Vic-roma, with their respective attendants, visited the Castle. On their way to the Castle they passed through the town of Windsor, and returned by the same route to FrOgulore. After which the DuCtess of GLOUCESTER and the young Princesses joined the Royal party at Virginia Water. Prince LEOPOLD left' his seat at Claremont, yesterday morning, for - The Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, on a visit to the KING. The Duchess of KENT, together with the Princess VICTORIA, Princess FRODORF, and the Princess of LEININGFN, are staying at Cumberland-lodge, Windsor Park, on a visit to his MAJESTY. Mr. CANNING entertained the American Minister and a select party to dinner, on Thursday, at the seat of the Duke of DEVONSUIRE, at Chiswick.

Lord HOLLAND entertained the Duke of BEDFORD and a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at Holland House, Kensington. • A few months sinc e a N o bl e M arquis bespoke a play at a country theatre, the representation of which Mr. CA tiNtwo,.Prime Minister, honoured with his pre sence. The boxes and other parts of the house were crammed, with the exception of the pit, which looked beggarly ; on which an actor observed to a brother of the sock, " We've no .pit to-night."—_" No Pitt !" rejoined the other, " and none we want while we have a Canning!" NAPOLEON cannot with justice be accused of wanting courage at the battle of Waterloo. The writer of this review himself beheld him traversing the field of battle and confronting every peril; he saw him on the following morning at Charleroi, and drew near to his person ; he was on foot, surrounded by his generale, and contemplating with sorrow the remains of his Shattered army, whirls was re treating in disorder. The real fault'of Napoleon, and the one with which Sir WALTER does not reproach him, was his not rallying the noble remains of his Waterloo forces under the walls of Laon, where they might have been joined by the rest of the army, and thus have defended Paris from the coalesced powers.—Litrrary' Chronicle. The meeting last Monday for a subscription to Mr. tlaydon has restored that artist to his family and pursuits.

Some of the ablest pens of the day are at work upon it ; and, as the conception of the Review is good, viz, to give us a clear insight into the state of Con tinental Literature, we have no doubt that it will be propor tionately successful. The first article is of a most promising Character---" Arahs and Moors in Spain." It is, we under stand, from the pen of Southey ; and there is no man living who, if he will but cut out till his trite and prosing mo rality, can do the subject such justice ; it is full of ro mance, for the Moorish annals are the most chivalrous in the worlds The second article is devoted to German Lite rature ; it is by Scott. We shall speak more at length in a day or two. QUICK VOYAGE FROM LONDON TO LEITH. —The Soho steam vessel started from London at 15 mi nutes past 11 P.M. on the 18th of July; arrived at Graves-. end at 15m. past 1 A. m. on the 19th ; at the Nore at 3 ; off Gunfleet Beacon at 6; Orfordness at 9; Yarmouth at 25m. past 12 P.M. ; Cromer at 35m. past 3 ; passed the Myer about 9 miles to the northward of Cromer, with a fine breeze from W.S.W. at 35m. past 4 ; Flatnborough Head at 30m. past 12 A. M. on the 20th ; stopped ofl Scarborough at 45m. past 2 for 435 minks, and as no boat came off, landed the passengers in a fishing boat ; passed Tynemouth at 45m. past 10 ; Fern Islands at 45m. past 2 P.M. ; St. Abb's Head at 50m. past 5 ; the Ba.s:, at 20m. past 8 ; and came to anchor in Leith Roads at 0411, past 10—performing the passage in 47 hours. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The rumours of retrenchment are more fre quent and stronger. We hope retrenchment . does not come, as penitence is sometimes said to affect. its objects, too late. However, even with respect to penitence, it were better that it should come late than not at all; for though it may not ' produce reformation, it shows the disposition ; and something analogous to this may be said of tardy retrenchment. The horses in each troop of cavalry are, it is said, to be reduced in num ber. Mr. Canning acts wisely to begin with the horses; they cannot murmur or cabal. He will have more trouble with -the other brutes, particu larly with those who have Parliamentary interest, and moreparticularly still with those who have recently quitted office, as several of their ad herents remain, who can baffle and perplex re trenchment in the detail, as they can even thwart the policy of Government in its foreign and com mercial relations. Why is Sir Henry Wellesley suffered to remain .at a Court whose counsels and conduct must have so powerful an influence at this moment, either for good or ill, upon the affairs of Portugal? And the same might be said of certain other during appointments. Buonaparte thought it necessary to murder a Bourbon, in order to show his ad herents that be was in earnest, and that he had no mind to-restore the old race, and serve under them. We doti't recommend mortal slaughter to IN/Ir. Canning, certainly-; but in something like the same manner, and without the guilt' of Buonaparte, he might sacrifice the stiviving place men, to prove that he does not cast an eye of political reconciliation towards those who have so grievously insulted him and- his Royal Master, Neither, .however, do we, mean to say that the Prime Minister has, been deficient in courage; or that he has shown any fear of his enemies. But let him go on. He is confident of the sup port of his Royal Master, and, being -sthus personally favoured by him, he must feel more strongly the unwbrthy treatment to which his Ma jesty has been subjected ;—and subjected by whom ? Not by Jacobins and levellers, to whom all sovereignty is odious, but by men loaded with Royal favour--by men who have pretended that the Royal will ought not to be disputed, and who have selected the present Sovereign on whom to make the first essay of their spleen ; and have declared, in his detriment, that he was not competent- to choose his own Minister. For, be it observed, that they are not angry with Mr. Canning for accepting of .the place which was offered to him : they knew that lie could not re fuse it without openly deserting his Sovereign. Any one may refuse to act under Mr. Canning without disloyalty ; but how could Mr. Canning refuse to obey the call of the King ? It is against the King, therefore, in the exercise of his regal functions, that their indignation and hostility are directed.— Times. Mr. Long Wellesley has added a postscript to the second edition of his letters to the late Chancellor, which we insert. It is impossible to deny to the author of these productions the praise of pertinacity and considerable talent in f N w ro a o y rn E i the prosecution of his purpose. It is the object of Mr. Wellesley, in these letters, to clear his t n , h i g e t L e . h o ' I rd o C u shea gentleman, n o ce f 11 1' 7 o c r' r e s decree w l is r w e o t to s b d e . appealchh o a o r s d e . that his children should„lose their . caste bred d al l called p d , a , n a d n fa i l n l re in ri t o o r what style P of hil ..n os u o u p , e b n y G b o e o in d g wil b i Sectarians , and it would, above all, be abso lutely horrible for them .to come in contact with that-shocking Saint of- Beaufort-buildings, with whom their aunts correspond.. But from whence does this evil, if it may not be avoided, spring ? It is dreadful, in a worldly sense, that-the chil dren should have lost such a palace as Wanstead house: Mrs. Scott and the Sectarians were hot the cause of; this. There is one inconsistency, also, in the letters, which is worth noticing, and there are many others, if we had time to notice them. Mr. Wellesley .says in this postscript, and elsewhere, that the.imposing upon. him the necessity pf separating himself from Mrs. Bligh would make a scoundrel of him ; but he forgets that he had before asserted that he had separated himself from her, and that it wasthe Lord Chan-- cellor and the suit in his court, which, by obli ging him to consult Mrs. 131igh upon dates and other circumstances, brought about the renewal of the intercourse.—lbid. Our readers will have seen, from the letters we inserted the other day from our Correspondent at Lisbon, that things are by no means settled there, and that the Constitution is not such a fa vourite with the people of Portugal, as Mr. Can ning would fain have made his hearers in the House of Commons believe, when, at the coma mericement of the last Session of Parliament, he let off his famous and furious speech--a speech. which was cheered so vociferously ; and afterwards praised so much by almost the whole 9f the Press of the United Kingdom. We, however, did not exactly yield implicit faith to that fulminatin g oration, and very shortly after it was pronotinced, we sent out a gentleman to. Portugal with in, structions to let us know the truth, if he possibly could get at it, with respect to Mr. Canning s first essay of Constitution-manufacturing. The letters and accounts we received from that 'gen, tleman were not; in the first instance, believed'; they were looked upon as 'apocryphal, and were accused by almost all our . brethren of the quill of being inimical to what they were pleased to call the Portuguese Constitutional cause.---. The letters, however, which we received &obi. that quarter, and published from time to time, opened the eyes, in the first instance, of the peo-' ple at large ; and, secondly, we have every reason to believe, that even Mr. Canning and . the Mi nisters themselves found that th e y had been im posed upon ; for, to the best of our recollection, during the whole season of the last' Session of Parliament, from the delivery of the famous ftiri. ous speech of Mr. Canning (of which he was 9:0 much enamoured, as to hire a young gentle man to write it out for him, and get it printed in the shape of a pamphlet—which pamphlet was corrected by . Mr. Canning himself in what is technically called the proof sheets, before it made its appearance) —even Mr. Canning never once ventured to open his lips again on the subject of Por tugal, to the very end of the Session ; a silenc e which indicates that the Right Honourable Gen tleman had found out his mistake, and that, in spite of so pompous and high-flown an intro, duction, he dared not resume a subject from the bare mention of which his genius shrunk. It would seem, from the last letter of our Corres pondent's, that Don Miguel was expected to proceed to that country to supercede the Princess Regent in her high functions, but if he did,' we should think that the Constitution would not long survive his return, but be set aside in some easy, statesman-like manner ; and that our troops would be got rid of, except a certain number, for a limited time only.
