Officers, Cadets, and Writers going to India, and Gen tlemen proceeding to South America, or any other part of the Globe,. will find in this Establishment the whole of their Military Appointments, Swords, Chacos, Sashes, Belts, Pistols, &c, together with a large and well-manu factured stock of Sea Cots, Couches, and Bedding ; Cabin Wash hand Tables, Chairs, and Lamps; Sea Chests, Mule and Bullock Trunks, and every other description of Travelling Equipage.

All the Articles in this Establishment are warranted, and the excellent plan of fifty years standing is still strictly adhered to, of asking one Ready Money Price, but from which no abatement will be made. to throw out that the audit ale of Cambridge is rather superior to any fluid of the same kind in the sister University. Let the men of Isis look to it. Punch also, we shall pass over, but reluctantly, for as the Chaplain, in Jonathan Wild, properly observes, it is a much more orthodox liquor than wine, for there is not a word spoken against it in the Scriptures. We suspect our author of a Use charge in the following : Ignorant servants and waiters sometimes put crxalic acid into punch to give it a flavour; such a practice cannot be too Severely censured. We admit that such a practice, if it exists, is very vile ; but we doubt that any waiter puts boot -top-fluid into any liquor intended to be drunk. We should think the eminent author intended to say "malic ;" but chemistry does not seem to be cultivated in Oxford. Negus, as Lord Byron remarks, is a paltry drink, having neither the pleasure of wine or the propriety of water; and therefore we pass it by to give a receipt for sack posset LITERATURE. • OXFORD NIGHT CAPS. BEING A COLLECTION OF RECEIPTS FOR 'TAKING VARIOUS BEVERAGES USED IN TIE UNIVERSITY. Whatever we may think of the politics of Oxford we much approve of the Night-caps of Old Rhedycina. Through all her vicissitudes of Ministerial or anti-Ministerial party, whether she was Jacobite as of old, or Williamite as at present, she has held her fame for good liquor. Compositions of Oxonians in prose or verse, may perhaps be outrivalled by those of other re (=ions but in the composition of Bishop Pu nc h b or Rumfustian, the " old mother of Chunbiner and Tories" stands without question pre-eminent. And accordingly we see that she has judi ciously chosen her Members of Parliament— one for the promotion of the grand cause of Toryism, the other to distinguish himself by a regulation of ale-houses. Mr Peel represents the heart—Mr. Estcourt the stomach of Oxford. The various pamphlets demonstrating the danger of the Church, are under the patronage of the former—the great work, the name of which we have put at the head of this article, is, we think, directed to the attention of the latter. It is a work in which there is no waste of words—no circumlocution, no spending of useful time ; it goes direct to its business and gives at once the whole history of what it wants to salt' with a brief precision worthy of Thucydides. We imagine ourselves, while reading it, transplanted to the banks of the Isis, and quaffing the Bishop of Baliol or the swig of Oriel. • Some of the uninitiated will enquire " what is Bishop ?" There are ignorant persons, but in the present times, when mutual education is the order of the day, we shall condescend to in struct the ignorant. Bishop then, to use the words of our author— Seems to be one of the oldest winter beverages known, and to this day is preferred to every other, not only by the youthful votary of Bacchus at his evening's revelry, lmt also by the grave Don by way of a night-cap ; and probably de rives its name from the circumstance of ancient dignitaries of the Church, when they honoured the University with a visit, being regaled with spiced wine. It appears from a work published some years since, and entitled, " Oxonians, or Anecdotes of the University of Oxford," that in the Rolls or Accounts of some Colleges of ancient foundation, a sum of money is frequently met with charged "pro specie bus" that is, for spices used in their entertainments ; for in those days as well as the present, spiced wine was a very fashionable beverage. In the Computus of Maxtoke Priory, anno 1447, is the following curious entry; "Item pro vino cretico cum speciebus et confectis datis diversis gene rosis in die Sancti Dionytiii quando Le fole domini Mout fordes erat hic, et faceret jocositates sues in camera Orioli." " Vinurn cretecunz" is supposed to be raisin wine, or wine made of dried grapes; and the meaning of the whole seems to be this : Paid for raisin wine with comfits and spices, when Sir S. Montford's fool was here, and exhibited his merriments in the Orid chamber. RECIPE.—Make several incisions in the rind of a lemon, stick cloves in the incisions, and roast the lemon by a slow fare. Put small but equal quantities of cinnamon, cloves, mace, and all-spice, and a race of ginger, into a saucepan, with half a pint of water; let it boil until it is reduced one half. Boil one bottle of port wine ; burn a portion of the spirit out of it, by applying a lighted paper to the sauce pan. Put the roasted lemons and spice into the wine ; stir it up well, and let it stand near the fire ten minutes. Rub a few nobs of sugar on the rind of a lemon, put the sugar into a bowl or jug, with the juice of half a lemon, (not roasted,) pour the wine upon it, grate some nutmeg into it, sweeten it to your taste, and serve it up with the lemon and spice floating in it. Oranges, although not used in Bishop at Oxford, are, as will appear by the following lines, written by Swift, some times introduced into that beverage:— Fine oranges, Well roasted, with sugar and wine in a cup, They'll make a sweet bishop when gentlefolks sup. When this is put upon the table there are few, we imagine, who would be found to say, Nolo Episcopari—not even Dr. Percy of Rochester. But what is Swig? The name sounds low —it is vulgar. We admit all this ; but what's in a name ? Brutus will raise a ghost as well as Coesar. All sort of malt liquor is, we know, wrong, but it may be pleasant. We doubt if Mr. Nowell Buxton, (or any other brewer), would differ from us in this opinion. However, be it low or high, here follows the recipe : The Wassail Bowl, or Swig, as it is termed at Jesus College in this University, is of considerable antiquity, and up to this time is a great favourite with the sons of Cambria; so much so, indeed, that a party seldom dines or sups in that College without its forming a part of their entertainment. On the festival of St. David, Cambria's tutelary Saint, an immense silver gilt bowl, containing ten gallons, and which was presented to Jesus College by Sir Watkin W. Wynne in I 752, is filled with Swig, and handed round to those who are invited on that occasion to sit at their festive and hospitable board. The following is the method of manufacturing it at that College : Put into a bowl half a pound of Lisbon sugar ; pour on it one pint of warm beer; grate a nutmeg and some ginger into it ; add four glasses of sherry and five additional pints of beer; stir it well ; sweeten it to your taste : let it stand covered up two or three hours, then put three or four slices of bread cut thin and toasted brown into it, and it is fit for use. Sometimes a couple or three slices of lemon, and a few lumps of loaf sugar rubbed on the peeling of a lemon, are introduced. Bottle this mixture, and in a few days it may be drank in a state of effervescence. The Wassail Bowl, or Wassail Cup, was formerly pre pared in nearly the same way as at present, excepting that roasted apples, or crab apples, were introduced instead of toasted bread. And up to the present period, in some parts of the kingdom, there are persons who keep up the ancient custom of regaling their friends and neighbours on Christmas-eve and Twelfth-eve with a Wassail Bowl, with roasted apples floating in it, and which is generally ushered in with great ceremony. • Shakspeare alludes to the Was sail Bowl when he says, iu his Midsummer Night's Dream, . Sometimes lurk lin a gossip's bowl, In very likeness of a roasted crab, • And when she drinks, against her lips I bob, And on her wither'd dewlap pour the ale. We shall not say anythimg•further on the sub ject 91 hordiaceous drinks. We beg however, POSSET. From fam'd Barbadoes, on the western main, Fetch sugar, ounces four; fetch sack from Spain A pint; and from the Eastern Indian coast Nutmeg, the glory of our northern toast; O'er flaming coals let them together heat, Till the all-conquering sack dissolve the sweet ; O'er such another fire put eggs just ten, New-born from tread of cock and rump of hen ; Stir them with steady hand and conscience pricking, To see th' untimely end of ten fine chicken ; From shining shelf take down the brazen skellet, A quart of milk from gentle cow will fill it ; When boil'd and cold, put milk and sack to eggs, Unite them firmly like the triple league, And on the fire let them together dwell Till miss sing twice—you must not kiss and tell : Each lad and lass take up a silver spoon, And fall on fiercely like a starv'd dragoon. Sir Fleetwood Fletcher's Sack Poseet, With this we conclude. The reader who wants to know the mysteries of Lawn-sleeves or Cardinal, Storative or Rum-booze, Rumfustian or Brown Betty, must consult the work itself. It is written, we understand, by the punch maker in ordinary for the College of Brazenose, and has obtained an imprimatur from the Chap lain of the late Lord Mayor. There are few better books in our time, and we have read some thousand worse. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JULY 21.—Mr. J. G.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 21. The VICE CHANC E LLOR, on being applied to to make an order in a certain cause, declared that he would never make any orders, even of course, with out having read the papers. He had reasons for adopting this plan; but at the same time he beggekl it to be understood, that if papers were handed up to him at night, he would read them before morning, and make the necessary orders in the causes. MILBURN V. CODD. This was a case in which the plaintiff, a share holder in, and solicitor to, the London Carrier Com pany, had filed a bill against the defendant Codd, banker to the Company, and other persons, to com pel them to account for money received from the sale of the stock in trade of the company. The defendant Codd demurred, and the case now eame on upon the demurrer. Mr. LOVAT was heard for the defendant, and in support of the demurrer. The plaintiff Milburn had filed a bill against several shareholders in a Joint Stock Company called the London Carrier Com pany, praying, among . other things, for an account; for an injunction against all the , -,.her members Of the company from receiving any money due to the concern ; and, in any event, that he (Mr. Milburn) might be paid for the professional business which he had done for the company in preparing the deed of settlement and other matters. The bill recited this deed of settlement, but he (Mr.:Lovat) would only trouble the court with one or two of its provisos. One clause declared that the partnership should be carried on for the term of 99 years, or until it was dissolved under certain powers, afterwards expressed. The second clause was, that all debts, liabilities, and en gagements incurred by the company since the 6th of May, 1826, together with the expenses of the deed of settlement, should be defrayed out of the funds of the association. His Honour would recollect that Mr. Milburn had prayed, that whatever became of the matter, he, at all events, might be paid. The deed contained another very particular clause which related to the dissolution of the company : it declared that a dissolution of the company might lawfully take place by consent and approbation of three members of the committee of management, for the time being, together with the votes of three-fourths of the pro prietors : that after such dissolution the affairs of the company should be wound up ; the debts against them satisfied ; all the stock, property, and effects converted into money, and their debts collected; and then, that the remainder of the assets, if any, should be' divided among the proprietors according to the value of their respective share or shares. The bill also stated, that some of the shareholders of the said company, without the consent of the plaintiff, and in direct violation of the deed of partnership, took upon themselves to dissolve the said company, and passed a resolution, that from the 3d of January, 1827, its operations should cease. The plaintiff then sub mitted, that as the company was not dissolved agree ably to the deed of settlement, he was entitled to call for the payment of his shares. The plaintiff charged that he had applied to the different parties, but that they had refused to comply wi th his demands. The VICE-CHANCELLOR--But upon what grounds do you found your demurrer ? Mr. LOVAT said, that they founded the demurrer upon the ground of their agreeing entirely with the plaintiff that the partnership was not dissolved agreeably to the deed of settlement. The i r ICE-CIIANCELLOR—Putting ,in a demurrer is an odd way of agreeing in the equity of a bill. Mr. LovAT Said, the point which he had to sub mit to his Honour was this :=They concurred en tirely with the plaintiff; that the partnership had not been dissolved as the deed of settlement required, and that, consequently, the partnership still existed; but the partnership still existing, the plaintiff had no equity that would entitle him to an account. Upon the plaintiff's own showing, viz.—that the partnership had not been legally dissolved, his equity fell to the ground, and for that reason the defendants had demurred. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the case was too clear for him to allow it to proceed any farther. The defendants admitted by their demurrer all the facts charged in the bill ; and, to put an end to this dilatory mode of proceeding, l►e should dismiss the demurrer with full costs. Mr. LOVAT said, that with respect to full costs, he was obliged to say, that the demurrer was not put in for the purposes of delay, but by the advice of Counsel. Mr. SuODEN said, that no less than seven months' delay had been obtained by this demurrable demurrer. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that he had had as Much business, perhaps, as any Chancery Barrister, and that he did not think that he had ever filed three pleas or demurrers in his life. Mr. LOVAT had never put in a demurrer for the purpose of frustrating the ends of justice. The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave Mr. Lovat full credit for that. He would now declare unequivocally, once for all, that whenever the case was so broad and plain, that it was manifest the demurrer could not hold, he should feel it his duty to dismiss it with full costs. By taking this course, he merely indem nified one side from the mispleading of the other. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 21. DOBSON AGAINST KEELING. This was an action of trover to recover in damages the amount of a bill of exchange for 2001., the pro perty of the plaintiff, a stationer in the Strand, and converted by the defendant to his own use. , —...—.... Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings, and the AT TORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. The plaintiff had the acceptance of Messrs. Roe and Co. to a bill dated the 20th of December last, for 2001., drawn by himself, at three months' date; and being desi rous to get it discounted, he applied on the .th of .January last to a friend of the name of Beswick, who told him it might be done by means of a person named Nash. They went accordingly to Nash, and he took the bill to the office of the defendant, who is an attorney in Lime -street, in partnership with a Mr. Neck. The defendant told Nash he had no objec tion to discount the bill, provided he would put his, name to it. Nash did so, and was then desired to leave the bill and to call again in half an hour for the money. Nash went back to the plaintiff and Beswick, and returned in the half-hour, when, instead of money or the bill, another bill for 150/., which had Nash's name on it, and which had been dishonoured, but whereof no notice had been given, was offered to him, together with a bill of costs and some money, which he sup posed was to make up the 200/. Nash refused to accept this, and insisted upon having back the bill he had left, or the money for it; but as he could get neither, he immediately went back to the plaintiff and Beswick, and acquainted them with what had occurred. They all three instantly went to the plaintiff's office, and were told that he was not at home ; they then desired to see Mr. Neck; his partner : that gentleman sent out for their names, and when he had learnt them, refused to see them. Since then, they have not been able to get a sight of the defendant, who was alike inaccessible to the plaintiff's attorney, for he was obliged to serve at the house the notice demanding the bill. The ob ject of the defendant, who is an attorney, in getting Nash to put his name on the bill, is quite manifest. His conduct, to say the least of it, was irregular; but he .ought to be well prepared to prove that he was the bonlifide holder of the 150/. bill before and at the time of the application to him to discount the not dis ,tit also to that Nash ' to take wrote the bill, defendant would not see him. It would appear, therefore, to the Jury, that the conduct of the defendant has not been so open and fair as to bespeak a very favour able interpretation of his case. John Nash, examined by Mr. GURNEY.—On the 4th of January last I received a bill for 2001. be longing to the plaintiff from Mr. Beswick, in the plaintiff's presence, to get it discounted. I took the bill to the defendant ; he had discounted bills for me before. He looked at the bill, and said he knew the party, and would do it. He desired me to put my name on it. I said it was not my bill, I was merely sent by Dobson. I, however, did put my name to it. He then told me to call in half an hour, and he would either give me the bill or the money. I called again, and saw two clerks; one tendered me some money, and said there was an old bill of mine lying due, and I must either haVe that or none. I would not take it. Ido not know how much the money was that was offered, as I did not stop to count it. I did not know that the defendant was at that time the holder of any bill of mine. I went back to the plaintiff and Beswick directly, and told them. We all went to the defendant's office, bus never saw him since. He is an attorney. We tried to see him: they said he was not at home. Mr. Turner, a paper-hanger, went with the plaintiff on the Ist of February to Keeling and Neck's office, Lime-street. We saw a clerk, who asked our business. The plaintiff said it was. to de mand the bill. The clerk could not tell any thing about it. 'lk went out of L. Sthr...* or three times. We could not get to see the plaintiff. Thomas Middleton Loveland went three or four times to the defendant's house, who was always denied. One of the times the defendant was at home. Witness told his .business .to the clerk, but he could not get to see the defendant, who was then at home: so he served a written demand of the bill upon the clerk. Witness proved that two actions were brought in the Common Pleas upon the bill against Roe, the accepter, and the plaintiff, the drawer, by the brother of the defendant, to whom the bill had been transferred, and that the taxed Costs of the two actions, amounting to 67/. 14s. Bd.. had, with the bill, been paid. Mr. CAMPBELL said, the defendant was a man of large fortune and unblemished reputation, was re lated to a gentleman of the highest respectability (Sir Astley Cooper), and until this scandalous trans action had been imputed to him, until Nash had ventured to tell the story he had told to-day, no one had ever dared to insinuate any thing against his character. The whole of the plaintiff's case rested upon the testimony. of Nash; if he was dis believed, his client was entitled to the verdict, and would retain his reputation ; for all the other evi dence, however correct it might be, did not weigh one feather in the scale. The fact really was, that Nash had been paid the whole of the bill, deducting the discount; he had put the money in his pocket, and instead of delivering it to the plaintiff, he pur loined it, and set it apart for the payment of his own debts. He should prove, that 197/. 14s.,which was the amount of the bill deducting discount, was paid to Nash by John Neck, in the presence of Ro bert Neck, of Drysdale, their clerk, and of Mr. Sky ring, a carpenter, who happened to be in the office. These four witnesses would prove the payment. tthh which ty choe t u h l dew proveeon t t he a r wt haayt witnesses msaot John Neck would prove the preci se sum 1971. 14 5 ., was sllelf paid nott "gentlemeno proveN ash ; dis countingbills are afterwards to have actions of trover brought against them for the bills, who would ever discount ? John Neck, examined by Mr. CLAIRKXON—I am book-keeper to Keeling and Neck. Nash called about four o'clock at their office with the bill. The defendant, Robert Neck, the clerk, Drysdale, and myself, were present. He was told to call in half an hour, and he might then have the money. When he called again, I gave him the amount of the bill— less the discount-197/. 14s. I paid him in bank notes and sovereigns. He reeeired the money, and went away. Cross-examined by the ATTORNIM.GENBR AL.— I have been clerk to Keeling and Neck six months. I lived before at Walworth, on my own property, doing nothing. My brother has been partner with the defendant four or five years. They are attorneys. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL--DO they discount bills to a great extent ? The witness was silent. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL—Why do you not answer the question ? Witness—Because it has nothing to do with the business. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—Answer the ques tion, sir. Witness.—Not to what I call a great ex tent. Not to several thousands a day. They do to several hundreds. Som e d a y s , no t others. I have the care of the cash. They discounted only one bill for Nash before. It was 150/.; that bill was dis honoured. Actions were brought upon it against. the drawer and accepter. I have the bill, it hai not been paid. We never did business for Nash as an attorney. We did not renew the bill. Nash had notice of its non-payment. I did not give the no tice. The defendant and my brother have one room for an office. I keep the cash in the clerk's office. The strong box is there. When Nash first came, he was told to come back in half an hour. I don't know whether the defendant went out in the mean time. Bills that fell due that day were paid in the mean time, and I had the money to pay Nash. I don't keep the numbers of the bank notes, or enter them in any book. I 'can't tell how much I paid Nash in notes, or how much in sovereigns.— Not one word was said to Nash about the 150/. bill, either on the first or second time of his coming. t don't live - at the office. I left that day at five. The next day I learnt from the female servant that some persons had come in the evening to the office about a bill, but I did not hear of any clamour. Aly bro ther and his wife live in the house. It never 1 7 ,r as suggested to give Nash his 150/. bill. It had been discounted about twelve months before. Lord TENTERDEN.--I thought you se.id you had been their clerk only six months ! Witness.—l had lived there before as a coal-merchant. I was ad dressed there for orders. 1 happened to be there when Nash brought the bill to be discounted. We discount bills some times at 5/. per cent. The AT TORNEY -. GENERAL.—SOMetiMeS 12 ? Witness.—l don't choose to answer. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Why don't you choose to answer the question ? Witness.—Becanse it does not bear upon the case. Lord TENTERDEN.—Mr. Attorney, if you desire that he should answer the question, I will make him. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Do they not take 12 per cent:? Witness (after a pause.)- 11 °. , I have not. That is not th e genera l ra te. They do not take more than 51. per cen t. I never knew them take more than 5/. per cent• take no commission. For the actual di scount I never knew more than a discou nt: per cent. taken. I have they known do moneyne. discounted desk but for clients. for business that had been They never took more than five per cent. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—You hav e answere d the question at last.
