CHURCH OF SCOTLAND IN BRITISH INDIA. If the General Assembly has in our opinion been legislating to bring down the Church at home, it has made some amends at the close of its labours, by pass ing a measure well calculated to build up the infant church of Scotland in British India. This subject was pressed upon the attention of the assembly by the unwearied diligence and activity of the Rev. Doctor Bryce, of Calcutta, and, we believe, in opposition to the views taken by several influential men in the church. The Reverend Doctor laid before the committee on India Churches a draft of a constitution, erecting the churches in India into a presbytery, with power to secure native converts as religious instructors of their countrymen. This draft was unanimously approved of by the committee ; but on the subject coming under the consideration of the house, an objection was started by Lord Moncrieff that the act of Parliament having placed the chaplains in India under the spiritual and ecclesiastical jurisdic tion of the Presbytery of Edinburgh, it was incompetent in the Assembly to erect them into a separate Presby tery. Dr. Bryce, who had procured the clause in the act of Parliament, and according to whose suggestions it was worded, was heard by the Assembly upon this ob jection, and on the expediency of granting the constitu tion which he craved. The clause, he observed, was confined entirely to chaplains " to be appointed," and was at least intended to limit the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Edinburgh to their ordination and in duction—a process which, of course, could not take place before any Presbytery erected in India, as it was not to be expected that the presentees would travel 15,000 miles on a chance of being rejected. Lord Moncrieff said his doubts were not removed by what had fallen from Dr. Bryce ; and the erection of a Presbytery in India, as proposed by the Doctor, was modified into constituting the ministers of Calcutta, along with the ordained cler gymen of the mission, and two lay elders, to be chosen by the kirk-session of Calcutta, into a body, having power to grant license to native converts, as re ligious instructors of their countrymen, under the au thority of the Church of Scotland—this same body having power summarily to withdraw these licenses when abused. This is a great point gained; for the body without the name had the powers which, as a Presbytery, were sought by Doctor Bryce. It must be highly gratifying to this gentleman to see this union between the Church and mission in India at length ef fected. The attention of the Church of Scotland was first drawn to the establishment of a mission at Calcutta by Doctor Bryce ; the account which he gave on Monday of its success and prospects was highly pleasing ; and we trust the high expectations of the Christian world as to its ultimate prosperity will not be disappointed. It was unfortunate that so im portant and interesting a measure should have been taken up at the very close of proceedings, and among the greatest hurry and bustle of coming to an end. On this account it has met with less attention from the house than it deserved. —Edinburgh Evening Post, June 7. TRIAL OF THE OLDHAM RIOTERS. The trial of the parties charged with participation iri the late outrages at Oldham, came on at the Sal ford Sessions, on Monday last, before Norris, Esq., chairman, and a more than usually full bench of ma gistrates. Joseph Greenwood, Robert Bridge, Thomas Kirk ham, Jos. Clegg, Thomas Jackson, Benjamin Travis, Robert Brierley, Henry Taylor, Richard Walker, Matthew Ainsworth, Robert Buckley, William Rad cliffe, and John Kirkham, were placed at the bar on an indictment which charged them with having, in company with a number of other persons at present unknown, riotously and unlawfully assembled, on the 15th of April, at Oldham, and by violence to the per sons of certain workmen of Mr. Richard Thompson, endeavoured to force them to leave his employ. In a second count, the defendants were charged with a ge neral riot ; and there was a third count, charging them - with riot and assault in pursuance of a conspiracy to raise the rate of wages. The evidence, as affects the several prisoners, was then gone into at great length ; and, after a " summing up" which occupied considerable time, the jury retired 1 1 for three-quarters of an hour, when they returned a verdict of Acquittal, with respect to Clegg, Taylor, `Walker, and Ainsworth ; and a verdict of Guilty against all the rest. The chairman then proceeded to pass the following sentences : Benjamin Travis and Robert Brierley, to be imprisoned eighteen months in Lancaster Castle; Joseph Greenwood, Thomas Jackson, and Thomas Kirkham, to be imprisoned twelve months in Lan caster Castle; and Robert Bridge, Robert Buckley, William Radcliffe, and John Kirkham, to be impri soned six months in Salford House of Correction. The trial occupied the court for thirteen hours, and terminated a few minutes before one o'clock in the morning of Tuesday.—Liverpool Paper. REMARKABLELONGEVITY.—Diedin Cool- carney, near this town, on Wednesday last, Walter Reape, aged 115 years. He was born in the reign of King George the First, in the townland of Carrow reagh, where he ended his existence. His health and memory were remarkably good. He was known to have frequently said that he had a perfect recollection of the commencement and ending of five leases in succession, of twenty-one years each, of the townland whereon he was so long an inhabitant.—Ballina Im partial.

LEIPSIC, MAY 25.—The number of mer chants who usually come to Leipsic fair to sell their goods is about 40,000; the number of purchasers when the fair is a good one is not smaller. The quantity of goods brought hither for the fair only may be about 400,000 cwt., and of the value of 60,000,000 dollars, exclusive of the sum of 5,000,000 dollars proceeding from the book trade alone. REVENGE OF MAN AND WOMAN.—Re venge, when opportunity permits the full indulgence of its energiezi, in man becomes ferocity, in woman malig nity. The former courage may overcome, patience support, or submission subdue ; but death only can re lieve us from the virulence of the latter. Relieve us, did I say ? No, the breath of that baneful passion settles like a black mist upon the grave of its victim, and blasts the few flowers that may attempt to flourish around it. That person is brave who can conscien tiously say that he fears the resentment of no man, but he is a fool who dares that of a woman. I know only of three cases in which it may be anything short of madness to tempt . a lady's vengeance : when you find yourself in the last stage of a consumption • after you have been condemned to death; or are about to be atriated at your own or your country's expense. — MMtropolitan Magazine. FATAL ACCIDENT,--On Friday Mr. Coup land, jun., joiner, of Louth, went into his father's stable to give a horse a drink, and it is supposed he r neived a kick from the animal on the chest, as he ;vas sound dead a few minutes afterwards. He has lei: a wife and six children. An inquest was held the text Jay, when the following verdict was returned— ." Found dead in a stable, by the side of a horse."— Boston Herald. Su iclDg.--Friday morning, about eight o'clock, the family of Captain John Gage Davis, of Gardiner's-row, Booterstown, was alarmed by the re port of a pistol in the Captain's bedchamber. His sister and servant maid, who hurried to the chamber, were horrified, on entering it, with the dreadful spec • tacle of his body lying prostrate on the floor and his d literally shattered to pieces. The result of their e xamination was the conviction to their minds that the unfortunate deceased had discharged the contents of a pistol, which he still grasped in his hand, into his mouth, and that his death was instantaneously conse quent upon the dreadful act. Captain Davis was a man far advanced in life, being at least sixty years of age. He has been a widower for many years and had no children. The only relative living with him was his sister, and no change bad recently taken place re garding his pecuniary circumstances, which, it is said, were rather affluent. He was a great admirer of pictures and curiosities, and had collected property of this description to a considerable amount. For several weeks back his spirits were very low, and his manner desponding and melancholy, but not to such a degree as to excite any alarm in his family. In the evening the county coroner 'held an inquest on view of his body, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased ter minated his existence in a moment of temporary insa pit7 Freeman's Journal.

Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington-street. Orders received by all respectable Booksellers. Of LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1834. The high character of the Duke of WEL LINGTON as a general, the services he has rendered his country, and the bright lustre which his name has shed on the British army —all entitle him to the highest honours which the University of Oxford, or any other learned body can confer. The honorary degrees con ferred by men of learning, if not prostituted to the worst of purposes, might be regarded as objects of ambition. As is the case, however, in this instance, they may be regarded rather as the slavish badge of a party than as honours. In fact, these degrees are conferred, not for li terary or scientific merit, or merit of any de scription, but for Ultra-Toryism and " stern hate" of Reformers, Catholics, and Dissenters. No matter how ignorant or how deficient in those scientific acquirements, for which the degree was originally granted, if the candidate have the wealth and the Toryism of a Duke of NEWCASTLE, aMarqUiS of BUTE, or an Earl of WINCIIILSEA, he is sure to be preferred to the first genius of the age without them. Had WELLINGTON persevered in the line of policy which he adopted on introducing Catholic Emancipation, he would never have been Chan cellor of Oxford. There appears to have been NGE YESTERDAY.

The University degrades itself by conferring honours solely for political purposes. If one may judge from the discri mination with which the students bestowed their applause, they seem fully determined to pursue the same course, and imitate their seniors in all that is illiberal, exclusive, and bigotted. An admixture of Dissenters is absolutely neces sary to neutralize this Ultra-Toryism, and let in some of the light of the world to this- abode of learning. From the interruption of public business, and the consequent inconvenience to both Houses of Parliament arising from the present law, which obliges a member to vacate his seat on accepting office, some change is imperiously demanded. After all, the law i of very little use, and can never serve the purpose for which it was originally intended; nay more, one of the effects of it is highly injurious, as it tends to throw the adminstration of affairs into the hands of peers. If a commoner and a peer are equally eligible for an office, it is clear the appointment will be given to the peer, if business is urgent, and any doubt exists as to the return of the commoner. In fact, with the exception of the CHANCELLOR , Of the EXCHEQUER, • all the members of the Cabinet may be peers, and there could be no difficulty in getting him returned for some small borough under any administra tion. So that the law is nearly a dead letter ; it may harass a Ministry occasionally, and obstruct business even when that Ministry is supported by the Commons and the voice of the country ; and any Ministry that has not such a support could not be benefitted, in the smallest degree, by the very few votes which the abolition of the exist ing law would give them. The present session has afforded a striking instance of the evil of the system, owing to the caprice of a few electors at Dudley. The abolition of the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, the Local Courts Bill, and several others for the improvement of the law have been kept back two months, and probably not more than one of them will be passed this ses sion ; and even if the member is returned by the same constituency, an interruption of busi ness for a fortnight at least takes place. All will admit this is a serious evil, and there can be no reason for submitting to it, when it can be remedied without infringing on the rights of constituents. Were the member accepting of fice not required to vacate his seat till the end of the session, there would be no interruption to business, and the exercise of the privilege which electors have of marking their opinion of Government by the choice of candidates would be postponed at most only a few months. In the morning sitting of the Common's yes terday, the House went into Committee on the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, when Mr. SCROPE moved an amendment to the 45th clause, which was lost on a division of 40 to 148. In the evening sitting, a new writ was ordered for Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. ABERCROMBIE, who has accepted the office of Master of the Mint. The House was shortly afterwards counted out. By the Paris papers of Monday we learn that the Senate of Frankfort had consented that their city should be garrisoned by Austrian troops on and from the Ist inst. A private letter from Madrid, dated the 28th ult., stated that Count TORRENO was to be the new Mini ster of Finance, an appointment which it was supposed would give very general satisfaction.

" Impossible," replied the Prince, " when a place is vacant it is already given away." A MAD PlG.—One of the city police, on Thursday, discovered a pig quite in a rabid state in John's-gate, which he instantly shot, and had thrown into the river. In the course of the evening, some brutes, for we cannot call them human beings, at tempted to take it out of the water, in order to expose it for sale.

A lady of the emigration was accusing Louis XVII I. of not being sufficiently royalist ; " and yet," said Talleyrand, " he has been at Gaud, and he is quite ready to return to it again."

The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. The Viscount Keith's Estate Bill was read a second time. The Hale (Cornwall) Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Hammersmith Parochial Bill was read a third time, and passed. Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Arundel, praying for the abolition of church rates. Mr. MILE S presented several petitions from East Somerset, against the admission of Dissenters into the University and their claims. Mr. SHE PP ERD supported the prayer of the pe titions. Mr. CLAY alluded to the reported address made by his Majesty to the Bishops, and said it was a thou sand pities that the responsible advisers of that address were not known, because it seemed to indicate that there was nothing in the church requiring reform. As a member of the established church, he was sure that nothing could insure the safety of the church but a proper reform initself, and liberal policy towards others. Lord ACHE SON presented a petition from the Presbyterian congregation of Clare, in the county of Armagh, for the tntal abolition of tithes, or their ap propriation in a different manner ; a petition from the Presbyterian congregation of Tassagh, in the county 'of Armagh, for an inquiry into the causes and extent•of drunkenness • a petition from the sur geons of the City of Armagh, and another from the physicians and surgeons of the county of Armagh, praying for an inquiry into the laws affecting the me dical profession in Ireland. Mr. HA LL IBURTON presented petitions from the hand-loom weavers of Cupar, complaining of dis tress, and others from Fifeshire against drunkenness. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented a petition from John Flood, complaining of the improper conduct of certain magistrates in the county of Clare, and pray ing to be heard at the bar of the house by counsel, having already made complaints to the proper authorities without avail. ( Hear, hear.) He had been thrown into prison and deprived of his property by the connivance and injustice of the said magistracy, only for electioneering purposes. The hon. member supported the prayer of the petition, and said he him self had witnessed similar misconduct on the part of the Irish magistracy. Mr. CLAY presented a petition from parishes in the Tower Hamlets, against a clause in the Beer Act, which laid beershop-keepers open to the extortion of informers ; from other beershop-keepers in White chapel, for an amendment of the Beer Laws ; from the parish of Christchurch, in Middlesex, to the same effect; from Lawrence Stephen Curtis stating, that after having kept the Gun public house, Old Artillery Ground, for twenty-seven years, he was ejected by the proprietor, a brewer, because he would not agree to confine himself to deal for porter with the same brewer. He took another house, and made two applications to the licensing magistrates of the district, recommended by 200 respectable inhabi tants, but it was refused. The petitioner, therefore, prayed for an amendment of the licensing laws. Mr. LLOYD supported the prayer of the latter petition. Mr. PL U MT R E presented petitions from Ashbourn, Derby, and other places and parties, praying that Protestant officers and soldiers in the British army in our Roman Catholic colonies might no longer be com pelled to engage in and acknowledge the idolatrous ceremonies of Popish worship. Mr. LAL OR denied that Protestant officers and soldiers were ever compelled to join in the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic against their will, and com plained of the nse of the words " idolatrous cere monies." Mr. FINN said those terms had no effect upon him, and that he as a Catholie would never support any coercion of the conscience of any man. Mr. ROBERT GRANT said there was an inquiry instituted, and a motion coming onto-morrow, in re lation to the subject, which would have the effect of setting the question at rest, though he could not un dertake to say whether the result would be favourable or unfavourable to the petitioners. The result of the inquiry would be known in a few days. Mr. SCOTT presented a petition from Acton against the claims of the Dissenters. Mr. COLLIER presented a petition from the Dis senters of Devonport against the Bill for the Commu tation of church rates. Lord DALMEN E Y presented a petition from the county of Forfar, in support of the Established Church. Lord MIL TON presented a petition from Rowel, in the county of Northampton, in support of the established church ; and another in favour of the Lord's Day Bill. Mr.- SHAW presented a petition from Carrickfer gus in support of the established church. Mr. SHE PPERD presented a petition from Frome in Somerset, against the separation of church and state, and in support of the established church. Lord KERRY presented a petition from Burnled, Wilts, in support of the established church. ESTABLISHED CHURCH... Sir RALPH LOPES presented a petition from eleven congregations of Protestant Dissenters of the parish of Westbury, Wilts, against church rates and against the Marriage Bill. Sir R. PE EL presented a petition from some place in Staffordshire, against certain parts of the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, and particularly against that part relating to the union of parishes. Also a petition from the Presbytery of Perth, against any alteration being made in the law of patronage ; also a petition from the same place, in favour of the Lords' Day bill. The right hon. baronet then said he had to present several petitions from various places, most numerously and respectably signed, against the claims of the dissenters. The right honourable baronet referred to the resolutions adopted by the united committee of the dissenters, to show that their object was the spoliation of the established church, and contended, that after that declaration, which was made so lately as Monday last, all hon. members who were desirous of preserving the church, ought to come forward and manfully and openly de clare their sentiments. The right hon. baronet then presented petitions from Langtree, Exeter, Swaffham, Norfolk, Kelson, Somerset, Beaumaris, Augbuy, Barnstaple,Devon,Bishop's Stotord,Daintry, Hereford, Kendal, Wearness, Pendring, Rudgley, Kingsnorton, Woodstock, Plimpton, and from Tamworth ; to the respectability of the names attached to which he could himself bear testimony. (Hear, hear.) He considered that, in the present state of this question, it was the duty of the government to state distinctly and unequivocally what their intentions were. (Cheers.) Mr. B AIN E S said that the Dissenters were in capable of concealing their opinions upon this subject ; and, in his opinion, the fact of being a Dissenter was a proof that the individual was desirous of the separation of Church and State. That was the foundation of dissent. (" Hear, hear,,' and cries of " No. - ) He begged to state that he was as well acquainted as any hon. member with the principles of the Dissenters (hear, hear), and he, Mr. Baines, was of opinion that this was the case. He and other Dissenters did not deny the right of others to uphold and cultivate the union of Church and State ; but as a Dissenter, if he were consistent, he must be opposed to this union. ( Hear. ) With respect to the appropriation of church property, the right hon. baronet had denied that there was any merit due to the dissenters, for their disinterested con duct with reference to this question. Sir R. PE E L said that all he meant was, that the dissenters disclaimed any right to interfere with the internal discipline of the church, and that the Established Church might retain their bishops and their system of diseipline, and that it would be un reasonable in the dissenters to take credit for this, since the Established Church left to the dissenters the right of regulating the internal affairs and disci pline of their own church. Mr. BAIN E S understood the right hon. baronet to have stated what he had just repeated, but also under stood him to have said that the Dissenters could claim no merit for declining to participate in the church re venues. There was nothing selfish in the conduct of the Dissenters, they did not want to participate in the revenues of the church, though as the revenues of the church were derived from one common ancestry of one denomination, it would not be unreasonable in the dissenters if they claimed as much right in those revenues as any other denomination of Christians. ( Hear, hear.) But the dissenters did not ask for this, they merely demanded a redress of practical grievances, they sought to be put on the same footing with their fellow-subjects of the established church, an d as their claims were founded on truth and justice, h e was confident that they wou ld soon be granted. ( Hear, hear.) Iy beins three o'clock, the Speaker left the chair.] COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE EVELYN.-ABSENCE OF COUNSEL, Sir W. HORNE stated, when this matter was called on, that it had stood over that the other side might have an opportunity of stating any objection to the order as prayed that might occur to them, and as no gentleman appeared, hepprehended the Court would grant the prayer. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Take the order. Sir Wm. Horne then left the court, and in a few minutes afterwards, Mr. K. PARKER appeared at the bar, and asked per mission to interrupt the counsel then addressing his lord ship in another case that he might state. He appeared to oppose the order which Sir Wm. Horne had obtained. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Very well ; but it's over. Mr. K. PARKEa—It stood over for to-day on my application. The Loan CHANCELLOR—ExactIy so; and you were not here when it was called on. The learned counsel who was here took the order, and he is gone. Mr. K. PARKER—My Lord, I was before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor— The LORD CHANCELLOR—But when are we to begin business here (now a quarter past ten) ? If lam to have no counsel here, nor anything to go on with when I come into Court, I may as well sit all day in the adjoining room. Mr. K. PARKER—I was here at ten o'clock—your lordship was not—and finding that your lordship was not here, stepped into the other Court, and happened to be before his Honour when you did sit, at which moment the learned counsel on the other side appeared before your lordship, and took the order ! The LORD CHANCELLOR—HOW am I to know that? How am I to know whether you are before the Vice- Chancellor ? I can't look through the wall and see that you are there. Why was your solicitor not here—pray why was he not here ? Mr. K. PARKER—I did not know, my Lord, that he was not here—l am not to answer for him. The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, but it was his duty to be here ; I can't walk out into the hall and look after solicitors, who ought to be here attending to their business. You may speak to Sir William Horne about it, and men tion it to the Court to-morrow morning. Mr. K. PA RKER—If your Lordship pleases. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY). His Honour, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, took short causes and motions to-day. LE BLANC V. THE GOVERNOR AND DIRECTORS OF THE HOSPITAL FOR POOR FRENCH PROTESTANTS. The bill in this case was filed by the personal represen tatives of a testatrix, who bequeathed a sum of 481. per annum, Long Annuities, to her son, a native of Switzer land, for life, and at his death to any lawful child or children of his who should be living at his death, and who had attained 21 years of age,and in default of there being any children, then she bequeathed the amount in question to three charities for the benefit of French Protestants. The son of the testatrix went abroad, and died, but it had not been ascertained whether he had been married, or left any children behind him. The object of the present suit there fore was for a reference to the Master, to inquire into those facts. Mr. KNIGHT, who appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, was anxious that the inquiry before the Master should be as extensive as possible, the governors and directors of the charity having put in a claim to the property, and the learned counsel considering a serious question might be raised under the words of the will, whether any child of the son of the testator, attaining 21, after the father's death, would not take a vested interest. His HONOUR directed the reference to be made suffi ciently extensive to embrace that contingency. BAKER V. BRAMAN. This case came before the court upon demurrer. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, and two other gentlemen as the Directors of the South London Gas Light and Coke company, against the defendants for the purpose of ob taining a discovery of the consideration given by them for a bill of Exchange for 500/. accepted by a person of the name of Evan Roberts, and also for an injunction to restrain the proceedings of an action commenced by the defendants against the plaintiffs for the recovery of the amount of the bill in question. It appeared from the statements in the bill that on the institution of the company in question in the year 1833, a reso lution was come to that all orders for the payment of money should be signed by three directors; notwith standing this, Evan Roberts, together with persons of the name of Clare and Mereditt, took upon themselves to draw and accept bills in the name of the committee ; one of the bills so drawn for 500/. was discounted by the defendant, who upon payment being refused by the plaintiffs brought his action for the recovery of the amount. To the bill which the plaintiff had filed the defendant put in a de murrer in the first place for want of parties, and secondly, that the bill was one for relief and not discovery. Mr. WIGRAM supported the demurrer, which was op posed by Mr. Richards. The court overruled the demurrer. In the course of the morning his Honour intimated, that after the last day of Term (to-morrow) he should not sit till the first seal, having to attend the Privy Council. The court rose shortly after twelve o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-THIS DAY. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL applied to their lordships for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against a printer, for having printed and stuck up in his shop window a libellous placard, charging the deponent, an attorney, with malignity in circulating a report that he (the author of the libel) had been the abetter of an outrage recently committed upon the deponent ; it also charged him with having driven his wife away, and taken another woman under his protection, and that he had five or six little sprouts to maintain. The COURT inquired if the placard had been sent pri vately to the deponent or any other person ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—NO, my lord, but it was stuck up in the shop-window. The Court, after consulting for a few moments, said, that it did not appear to be quite a case for their inter ference. —Rule refused. LIABILITY OF LANDLORDS.—THE KING V. MILLS. This was an indictment for a nuisance tried before Chief Justice Denman, at the Bedford Assizes. The de fendant was the proprietor of a piece of ground in the neighbourhood of Bedford, upon which he had built seve ral small houses, and let them to tenants. There being no drain or sewer from the premises, a public nuisance was the consequence. The jury found the defendant guilty. A rule to show cause why the verdict for the pro secutor should not be set aside, and a verdict entered for the defendant, was afterwards obtained by Mr. Kelly. Mr. Sergeant STORKES and Mr. AUSTIN now applied to show cause against the rule. The single point was as to the liability of the defendant, and it was maintained that the defendant had rendered himself liable by being the pro prietor of the land, and having been the originator of the nuisance, from the mode in which the houses had been erected. Mr. KELLY, in support of the rule, contended that the landlord could not be liable for a nuisance committed by his tenant; and as the houses had been let for a period of six years, and no complaint of nuisance made until within the last two years, it was evidently the fault of the tenant that a nuisance now existed. Besides, the landlord could not make a drain from the premises to the common sewer, without trespassing upon the property of his neighbours. The COURT was of opinion that the defendant having become the owner of property, and built houses upon it for his own profit, the natural consequence of the position of which was, that a nuisance would take place, had ren dered himself liable and was guilty of the nuisance.—Rule discharged. DOE V. BARNES. This was an action of ejectment, and the point at issue was to try the validity of a will, involving the title to very extensive property in Dorsetshire. An application had been made on a previous occasion by Sir James Scarlett for a rule to change the venue of the trial from the county of Kent, on the ground that a pre judice existed against the defendant from the influence of the plaintiffs, and the great disparity in tke rank of the parties. The application was refused, and a second appli cation was now made by the same learned counsel, founded on upwards of sixty affidavits. Mr. TOLLETT and Mr. MAULE were heard against the rule. The application was a direct reflection upon the character of the county of Dorset and its jurors, and most of the affidavits upon which it rested had been made by persons in humble life, who could have no means of ascer taining what the feeling of the jurors was. Sir JAMES SCARLETT replied. Their Loansuirs were of opinion that no new grounds had been laid before them for altering their formerdecision. Rule refused. " The Bourbons have disgraced me," said Talleyrand in a prophetic mood ; " the example of the Directory, and of Napoleon, has not prove d a lesson to them. Well, they too will meet their downfall. There is something in me which is sure to prove fatal to those who neglect me." Under the Villele administration, observing M. Ferrand enter the Chamber of Peers supported by two footmen, Talleyrand said to his neighbour, " Look at Ferrand, he is a type of the government, he fancies he is walking while he is carried." PROTESTANT EMIGRATION.—Our valu able Baltinglass correspondent mentions that a great number of the protestants of that neighbourhood are emigrating—the tenants of Lord Wicklow in the Glen of Imeal are all going, and many of the protestant tenants of Major Acton are abandoning their different holdings. It is reported in the county that the Irish protestants will be replaced by English settlers. — .Dublin Register. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Barons BOLLA ND, ALDERSON, and GURNEY. ) HENNING v. BOYLE. This was an action for false imprisonment, which was tried before Mr. Baron Gurney, when the plaintiff was nonsuited. aga A in r s u t rule h h i ad ch b e en obtained N fo s r o N set a t p in p g ear t e h d at to no s n h s ot t c a a s us id e e . , It appeared that the defendant was a schoolmaster ; the plaintiff, a widow, whose son was placed with the defendant in June, 1833, at twenty guineas per annum. On the 24th of December she went to the de fendant's school at Stockwell, and asked to have her son home for a few days, when he would be sent back, and the quarter's wages paid. Defendant refused to let him go unless the money was paid ; that was done on the 30th, when plaintiff, not being pleased with her treatment, then wished to take the child away altogether, but defendant said he had then entered upon another quarter, and that must also be paid before he would part with the boy. She went again with a Mr. Boone, and demanded him, and met with another refusal, which was given in very unbecoming language, and then defendant turned plaintiff out of the house, telling her that if she wanted law he would give her plenty of it, for she would not get the child without a habeas. A habeas was served upon him on the 10th January, on which day he was sent home. Mr. HUTCHINSON contended that the action could not be sustained, because there had been no detention of the child against his will. He had never been told that his mother called and he was treated the same as usual ; besides there had been no assault, which was always a necessary ingredient in such actions. Mr. Cummiria, for the plaintiff, asked whether, if some persons were to lock all the doors of the Court upon their Lordships and detain them there, they chould not all main tain an action for it, though in that case there would be no assault ? (Laughter.) The defendant had stated that he would detain the boy till a habeas was obtained, and he acted upon that declaration ; so that the natural inference was that the boy was detained against his will, the more especially as the holydays had commenced, and he had never known an instance of a boy refusing even one when offered. The COURT were of opinion that the action had been brought in an improper form. They could not justify the conduct of the master, which had been both improper and illegal ; but they were of opinion there was no evidence to go to the jury as to the detention against the boy's will. However, as Lord Lyndhurst and Mr. Baron Parke were present when the rule was moved for, they would consult them before finally deciding. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY)- (FROM LLOYD'S.)
