The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at half-past ten, and immediately proceeded on the appeal paper. Mr. SUGDEN occupied the greater part of the morning in opening the first on the list, namely, Phipps v. Ennismore. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. HiF:. HONOUR was engaged up to the time of our going to press, in hearing a petition, merely involving a point of practice. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) BRAZIER V. THE 'MARSHAL OF THE RING'S BEXCH. In this case, which was tried at the last West minster Sittings, a verdict was taken against the defendant, with one farthing damages. Mr. GURNEY now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a nonsuit entered. The action was brought for the escape of a prisoner named Bryant, who was committed on an attachment on an award, and the Learned Counsel now contended that the committal was illegal.—Rule granted. ACTION FOR SEDUCTION. MAJOR. V. HOLDSWORTIT. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS moved for a rule to show cause, why the verdict taken for the plain tiff in this case at the last York Assizes should not be set aside and a new trial granted, on the ground of excessive damages. The plaintiff was the widow of a butcher and grazier, residing near Leeds, and the action was brought for the se duction of her daughter. The daughter had a fortune of 3001. in her own right; and was the . third of seven children. No evidence was given of the circumstances of the defendant , but that he kept two hunters. Mr. Justice BAYLEY (before whom the case was tried) begged to set Mr. Williams right. , The witness who was seduced proved that at dif ferent periods the defendant had left sums of 2,000/. and 3,000/. with her to keep, and another witness swore that the defendant was a person -in independent circumstances. Mr. WILLIAMS resumed.—The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with 3001. damages, and it was supposed that this large amount was produced in some degree by a ruse played off by Mr. l3rougham as counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant was sitting in court, listening to the trial, probably under the idea which commonly prevailed, that witnesses were less likely to swear falsely in the presence'of a person who could con tradict them; and Mr. Brougham having been informed of the defendant's presence, went out of his way to show him up to the jury, and stated that he was laughing whilst the woman he had seduced was giving her evidence. He (Mr. Williams) happened to look at the defendant whilst the trial was going on, and conceived that his demeanour was very proper, and that he look ed extremely like a patient.—(A laugh.) There was another circumstance which it was necessary to state, and that was, that the young woman had gone before a Magistrate, and got an order of filiation against the defendant, who - was thus put to an expense of about 61., besides a weekly ! sum for the support of the child. He did not press this circumstance in mitigation of damages, because of the sum thus paid by' the defendant ; but it was,not usual for a parent, whose feelings were greatly yharrassed by the seduction of a daughter, to expose the daughter to the unplea santness•of.going before a magistrate. Another fact came out on the . trial, which occurred, long before the cause of the action arose. It appeared that the defendant came one night to the plain tiff's house in a state of intoxication, and made his way rudely up stairs to a bed-room, in which the plaintiff was lying in one bed, and the young woman who was seduced with her sister in an other bed, on which the defendant threw him self outside the covering, and lay for above half an hour. Yet after this transaction, the visits of the defendant to the house were renewed and tolerated by the mother. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—The eridence was, that the plaintiff quarrelled a little with the de fendant on account of his conduct in the trans action 'referred to, but that the quarrel was made up, and the defendant renewed his visits. Mr. WILLIAMS said, there was another cir cumstance of some weight, which was, that the eldest daughter of the plaintiff had a child sooner than the regular period after her marriage. Lord TENTERDEN after consulting with the other Judges observed, that the question of damages in an action of seduction was so much a question for the Jury, that the Court could not interfere, unless it clearly appeared that the Jury acted under a wrong bias.—Rule refused. ARREST OF A PEER. ASSIGNEES Or COX V. LORD ILAYWARIALN. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, that the bail in this case should be discharged, and the whole proceedings set aside. Lord Haywarden having some dealings with the bankrupt, Charles Cox, received a letter from his assignees, claiming a sum of 431. as due by his L ordshi p to the estate of the bankrupt. Upon receipt of this communication, Lord Haywarden called at the counting-house of - the assignees, and stated that he h e was not indebted to the bankrupt in the sum of 431. which was claimed by the assignees, as held, in fact, a receipt from the bankrupt for a part of th e sum . N otw ith s tanding this repre sentation Lord Haywarden was arrested in the county of Sussex, upon a capias, directed to the Under Sheriff. The capias contained the descrip tion of the Nobl e Peer as Viscount Haywarden, and though his Lordship, and some gentlemen who accompanied him, represented to the Sheriff's officer that he was privileged from arrest, the officer stated, that he had positive directions to make the arrest, and thereupon his Lordship was held to bail. The Learned Counsel observed in conclusion, that Lord Haywarden being a Pee? of Ireland, was privileged filom arrest, and that the motion was a matter of course. Lord TENTERDEN.—We have no doubt that Lord Haywarden is privileged. Take the rule. Motion granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE is not, we are informed, sufficiently recovered to admit of his resuming business. The other Judges sat, and after hearing several motions of course, proceeded to hear motions for new trials. IMPORTANT QUESTION. BATIlEtvs V. GALINI. Mr. Sergeant E. LAW Es, in this case, moved for a new trial. The case was tried last sittings at Guildhall before Lord Chief Justice Best, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff; damages W. It was an action for the amount o f two bills of exchange. The defence was usury, and the Learned Coun sel now moved the Court on the ground that the e idence of a most material witness for the defence A RKET.—Nov. r. Per lb.

HAMILTON was sworn into the command of the ship Dunira, consigned to Bombay and China. The fog was so dense all day in the metropo lis, that people were under the necessity of using lights. It is a very appropriate precursor of to-morrow, . -so much so, that many persons actually mistake it for Loan AYOR'S Day. STRANGE MISTAKE.—In consequence of the extreme density of the fog this morning, a person meeting Mr. Comurrr in the streets, actually mistook him for a gentleman. ART v. NATURE.—The " Sun" has been produced this day by candle-light. - - LIVERPOOL, Nov. 6.—There has been 2 pretty fair demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales amount to from 1,200 to 1,500 bags at the currency of Saturday's report. On Wednesday last, the coast of this county was visited by an influx of sea, which threatened the most awful consequences. The principal damage appears to have been done at Margate, at which town the bathing machines are kept on the sands, under the new wall, and near the walk designed for the recreation of visitors ; not only was the walk in question destroyed, hut the site of it (a mass of chalk, the natural soil of that part of the shore) deeply indented by the action of the water. Se veral bathing machines were also dashed to pieces, and the fragments scattered in every direction on the sur face of the sea, which flooded the , promenade in front of the beautiful row of houses at this spot. A large collier, coal laden, lying • opposite Wright's Hotel, with 'its bowsprit extending over the walk, knocked down a great part of the parapet wall ; a portion of the lower pier was inundated ; and the steam-vessels prevented making their usual trip. On Thursday morning the tide again was very high. Two steamers from London were obliged to run for Ramsgate harbour in the evening, whither they arrived. At Ramsgate and Broadstairs, the like effects were experienced ; at the former town, scarcely a vestige of the pier was seen from the height of water, which, assisted by a northerly wind, presented the most awful appearance. At Herne Bay, the sea rose to a height of several feet in the marshes, and the greatest 'difficulty was experienced in preventing the vessels in the offing going ashore. At Reculver, the spray dashed over the w,dl, and flooded the Jinni tee a considerable distance.— , .Kentish chronicle, RPORTINC* INTELLIGENCE. THE HOUGHTON HUNT RACES.

On Thursday last there was a fair at Kilnaleek, county Cavan. On this occasion some people en gaged in a fight to decide some grudge existing be tween them, entirely unconnected with religious or party difference. .- An unarmed policeman, who was present, interfered, and took a few sticks from some of the combatants, on Which the latter immediately dispersed. One of these who had been engaged in the fray returned, however, in some time after, and beat the policeman, who on this proceeded to his barracks, situated _a short distance, for his arms, where, on taking out his gun, he was heard to say that for what had been done t o him he would have the life of some one before his return. This threat, he soon put into execution, having scarcely en tered the fair, when meeting a countryman, one, it appeared, who had not taken any .part in the previous affray, nor had any connection what ever with the'parties concerned in it, he, without the sliglest provocation faun this persOn, fired at him, and killed him on the spot. The report of the shot was the signal for a number of the Orangemen, with which that place is thickly popu lated, to sally forth, armed with guns, &e. and com menced discharging their fire-arms, and annoying . the peaceable inhabitants and. unoffending people at tending the fair. One amazon of the party, who had rushed from her house with a drawn sword, Ill ling , up the intervals of the shots from her male comrades in arms, by crying out for " any Popish rebel, and she would soon do his business for him." 'On Saturday an inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate man who had been killed, and which, after continuing its sitting the entire of that day, returned a verdict of manslaughter against the Polickian. The latter, who excused himself for the death of his victim, by merely saying that he had mistaken him for another, was only taken into cus tody on Sunday, and committed to Cavan gaol, a Magistrate of the county offering to go bail for him. --Dublin Morning Post. . , .

" Miss Smithson has surpassed in her representa tion of Jane Shore the expectations which her bril liant debut had excited. In Juliet, in Ophelia, and in Desdemona, she exhibited in the highest degree all the qualities which constitute a great actress. But in that terrible scene of the fifth ;tat of Jane Shore, in which she appears exhausted by hunger and misery —her repentance, her grief, her resigna tion, were expressed in her weakened voice, her sup pliant looks, in a manner the most affecting. It was not till the fall of the curtain that we ventured to applaud. Miss Smithson's triumph has been com plete." It will be a lucky trip to Paris for Miss Smithson, if, after her great success there, she will, by the en couragement she has met with from our generous neighbours, be enabled to take that eminent place in the theatre of her own country which, since the ab dication of our great tragic actress, and her successor, the tender and interesting O'Neil, has been vacant.

TIIE SILK TRADE.—This important branch of our trade has, within the last fortnight, been gradually becoming less brisk, and, from a state of activity, has re lapsed into a a g ree of langour, which, it is feared, will last for some time. Those opposed to the new measures of Government respecting the trade, are again loud in their complaints respecting the import of French manufactures on the present low duties, and anticipate a recurrence of the distrgs experienced by the trade twelve months since. The most influential individuals, however, think differently, and feel assured that the present inactivity will he only temporary. It is certainly true that since the late im provement in the trade, much manufactures have poured in ; but it is likewise true that the preference for English manufactures, by our countrywomen, is on the increase, the novelty of procuring French silks having been lost by their, ready introd uc ti on . The weavers in Sp italfields are not at were a month p ag re o s , en a t ru n i e i a n r a l r y ry s o o f r t n b i e iche employed reduced consi derably derably th e i r h an d s . Those weavers employed have been reduced f rom one p en ny to two pence per yard in several Yed ma nufacturers as instances. This, however, is always a dull season of the year, and the shopkeepers drawing already in stock, it is not expected by the most sanguine that a revival will occur before Christmas.

SUICIDE.--On Monday Mr. Timm A S SUTTON, a respectable fishmonger, in Duke-street, Grosve nor-square, put a period to his existence by hanging him :elf in his back premises. On being observed, an alarm was given, and the body of the unfortunate man was cut down ; medical aid was sent for, but life Wag extinct_ The deceased has left a, wife and four children, ladbeen improperly rejected. It was a question of law of the last importance, as it regarded the rules of evidence being " whether a witness who appears to have been the kept mistress of the person who calls her. is to be considered a mar ried woman, for the purpose of rejecting her tes timony. On the trial of this case the witness had been examined, and in her cross-examination admitted that she had been improperly living with the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice, continued the learned counsel, in summing up, observed to the jury, " that if they believed the witness to be the kept mistress of the defendant, he should advise them to dismiss her testimony." He also said to them, "Do you doubt the testimony of the witness Orchard," (the attorney for the de fendant, who was called by the plaintiff to prove the concubinage) that she was living in prostitution with this man ? If so, her evidence is not to be received." The Learned Sergeant then contended that her evi deuce ought to have been received, as it would have completely made out the defence. He then adverted to a case cited at the time by his Lordship, and which he contended was most analogous. The COURT expressed their clnubts as to the reasons of the Learned Judge for rejecting it, being wholly out of their knowledge, and ordered the rule to be suspended, in order to have the opportunity of consulting his Lordship.On the trial his . Lordship, in summing up, gave as a reason for rejecting this wit ness, that a man improperly living with a woman ought not to be placed, on that account, in a better situation than, another man who *as living with MS wife, as the latter's evidence could not he received. During this and some other cases, the Court was lighted - with candles so early as half-past one o'clock. PUBLIC SALES.-(THIS DAY.) BY MIL MITSGROVE, AT THE MART.

It war: universally apprehended, and 'indeed proudly boasted, that a slave, however purchased or ob tained, who had in any way reached the British island, who had once breathed British air, was thenceforth for ever free. Lord Stowell's judg ment has taken from the friends of humanity thtz pleasing error : it has shown Them that an un manumitted slave of Antigua, or any other West India island, visiting England, and returning to the place from whence he started, was a slave that a lady, the wife of a planter, bringing a again, and the property of his old master. So black nursery maid to this country, places her in a state of freedom among us : from that -state there are no legal means of removing her ; but should the maid consent to return, or be en trapped on board a ship and carried back, she is, when in the island from whence she was con veyed, a slave again. This doctrine, which there is no doubt is also the law at present, leads how. ever to that Particular consequence which is de scribed as " impossible" by the maxims of Brie fish jurisprudence ; for it entails upon an acknow ledged body of his Majesty's subjects, tnalurn absque remedio. If.. a West Indian planter has lost 'ec slave, and knows him to be in Eng land, the law does not suffer him to take one • step for the recovery of that which we, with pain, are forced to call his property. But the judg ment is remarkable for betraying inc identally some of Lord Stowell's opinions on the slave trade. Towards the conclusion of the decree, he' says—" To such a system (the slave trade), whilst it is so supported, I feel it to he too strong to apply the maxim mains usus est abo. lendus. The time may come when this institu tion may fall in the colonies, as 'other institutions bave„done in other flourishing countries'; but I am of opinion that it can only be effected at the. joint expense of both countries : for it is in a peculiar measure the a ime of this country (England) ; and I rather feel it to be an objet emancipation, that it is in tended to be a very cheap measure here, byl tion to this species of throwing the whole expense upon the colonies I This is very just—very true. The mother country has encouraged the slave trade: it was under the sanction of the mother country that her subjects invested property in it. Surely, then, the loss incurred by the abolition of the trade ought, at least to be in part . borne Iby the mother country. But---and it is a woful << but"—where is the money to come from ? Let not the planters be deceived by pretences : those who talk to them of indem nification for the loss of this traffic, be they sinners or be they saints, mean' to humbug them. The noble Judge of the Court of Admiralty sees through the matter clearly enough. The following extract from the speech points out cacy of all the efforts hitherto made by the Abo painftilly, but, we fear, but two truly, the ineffs;., litionists to' produce the effect they seek ;-•••." It has been said that the law of England diecoutia ges slavery ; and so it certainly does, withir s - t h e Inuits':of these Islands; but it uses very different language, and exerts a . very different force, when it looks to its coloniee,- for to this trade in those_ colonies it. gives an almost unbound,Cd.protec- Hon . ; and it is in the habit of doing so at the present time in many exercises of public autho. rity ; and even since slavery has become odious, in England, it has been fully supported by the authority of many statutes, for the purpose of carrying it into full effect in the colonies. All ! the efforts of the persons who have contended for its abolition in the colonies, and who have robtained many acts of Parliament, for the regu lation of it therein, have IN NO DXGREIS, weak ened the force of these English statutes, of the mother - country, which so powerfully support it." Thst which follows is almost equally stroller and more specific : we cannot quote the whole!: But what say the Abolitionists to al!this ? Have their various and unremitting efforts then ended in nothing ? or at least have - they hitherto oh. tanned no beneficial result ? Lord Stowell, in a few short sentences, not only dashes the laurels from their brows, but even knocks their beetle into the dust. But perhaps, stung by these re proaches, they may rise and gird themselves afresh for the contest. 'We ourselves do not think that they have done - so - little as his Lord ship imagines. If slavery still exists under legal forms, it is not their fault : and it must at least be allowed that its rigours are practically sof, tened.—Times. The decision of Lord Stowell, which we this day give at length, is well deserving of at tention. His Lordship would seem to question the justice of the decision of Lord Mansfield, at not th e destroy ,4i.b a which put an end to " the personal traffic in slaves resident in England," which " had been nogwlannedr, when afforded e t di) the slave a i v ra r n e s , as public and authorised in London as in any bgulatnc: of our 'West India Islands," but he contends that the decision only went the length of ingcleclat t he r th i : h t t tl o w iti l l a e w ,fo o r f m e E r enforced. At eff A e t Ct th to e F s l l o a se ve , ry l; turned to a country where that right could be litionists. " How this country perform the act of justice in f • per ormin g the act of charity, men o f great wisdom and integrity have not been able to discover:—Mornsng Chronicle. At length it seems at t tha t I Magistrates of Middlesex are about to decide the long-pro= treeted question of the propriety of erecting a County Lunati c A sy l um . We cell it a ques tion ; though how, after the facts which have been disclosed, it can be really a question in the eves of any rational being, we are at a loss to imagine. As the same persons have at length, too, been shamed out - of the privacy of their pro. ceedings, this matter is, we hear, to be discussed in open Court, and the public therefore, both present and absent will stand a chance of know. ing somewhat, at least, of what passes on a sub ject so interesting to them all. That an irre sponsible body, composed by no means of the elite of the land, should have so long contrived_ to carry on a heavy system of taxation wi t h closed doors, does no great credit to them, or to the spirit of the age ; nor does it augur touch in favour of their past acts that they ha v e YO sel. dom been allowed to see the light. Even among Middlesex Justices, however, the zra of dark ness has at length passed away, and with it, it is to be hoped, the age of jobbing, for which their Predecessors have from time immemorial been so remarkable. We shall be cu • • nous to see whe ther any and what arguments can be used a gainst the slow measure of rustic® by which an average
