COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE RING V. GRANT AND OTHERS.fir,XELLy wished to make an application on behalf of the !!fendants, who had been convicted of publishing a libel on 'l% Alderman Winchester, and Mr. Briggs, a solicitor, and " n ° received notice to appear to-day to receive judgment. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the case could not be take n to-day. Mr .KELLY hoped for a delay of three or four days, because 'e should be obliged to make a formal application. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it would not be taken either 0 -day or to-morrow. The Court would first get through the fteruptory paper. rH E KING V. THE JUSTICES OF SURREY, ACTING FOR THE EASTERN HALF HUNDRED OF BRIXTON. This was an application for a masdamus, commanding the lefendants to select and choose, from a list furnished them by e Vestry Clerk of the parish of Lambeth, one overseer for 4, * Marsh and Wall liberty within that parish. It was partly qttled on a former day. Mr. D. POLLOCK appeared in support of the application, and he S OLICITOR-GENERAL and Mr. THESSIGER for the Justices. The case arose out of the opposition which has so long pre_ :ail ed between two parties in the parish. At the last Easter tlt rY two sets of candidates for the office of overseer were ,' ut in nomination; on one side it was contended that none : t inhabitant householders who had paid up their rates were itled to vote, while the opposition party contended that all Were rated were entitled to vote, whether they had actu. ill Paid their rates or not; and it was consequently agreed to 'at 'e a double set returned to the justices for their selection. r, n ,. st ead, therefore, of a list of four being so returned, as was ' ° "ided for by the Act of Parliament, a double list of eight ' h a s return e d , t h e fi rst four b e i ng t h ose w h o wer e e l ec t e d by g_'aPaYers and non payers jointly. The justices selected the Caine, and that selection, it was contended, was an erro 'e°4 one. es Af Af ter Mr. TH ESSIGER had addressed the Court against the ter of the mandamus, COURT said they were of opinion that if any one were to I lame it was the Vestry.clerk, in returning a list of eight to i ! Justices instead of four ; for the latter number was the :"oltY" legal one. As to who were rate-payers, and who were , or eJas a question in which the Justices could not interfere, n e ! w ere neither the returning officers nor the scrutineers.

Br BowBINO. 2 VOLS. SVO. LONGMAN AND CO. " No man is a prophet in his own country !" Never was this truth more applicable than to Bentham. Whilst his works, translated into French, Spanish, and German, were in high repute and extensive circulation in France, Bel gium, Spain, and Germany—whilst their learned and amiable author was reverenced by the Libe rals of the European Continent, who applied to him for constitutions, or codes of laws, and even absolute sovereigns corresponded with him for the purpose of obtaining information as to the possibility of reconciling the reforms de manded by the spirit of the age with their own ideas of authority, Bentham was comparatively unknown in his own country. Nor was this from any false modesty on his part ; for he wrote, and, having a good fortune, published al his own expense ; but his books sold slowly, and it never became the fashion with his coun trymen during his life-time to regard him as a sage and a philosopher. The few who knew Bentham thoroughly, respected and loved him ; they admired the profundity of his intellect, and forgot, in the excellence of his heart and the amiableness of his deportment, the eccentricity which, in some degree, kept up an estrangement between him and the world. Among those who knew and admired Bentham was the present Lord Chancellor. That illustrious man passed many evenings with the utilitarian at his house in Queen-square, where after dining to gether in the library, Bentham on one side, and Brougham, with his bottle of Burgundy on the other, one of Bentham's secretaries at the head of the table and another at the foot, if there can be said to be head and foot to a perfect square, the table and the chairs of the persons dining raised on a platform almost above the head of the neatly dressed female — for Bentham had no male servant—who waited, with an organ in one part of the room, on which our friend D—,l3entham's secretary, invariably played an air, ere the party sat down to dinner— where, as we were saying, they discoursed on phi losophy, on law, and on the means of bettering the general condition of man. It can hardly be necessary to say, that Bentham was a great man when we inform the reader that the greatest man of the age now breathing—the Chancellor Brougham—loved and admired him. Lord Brougham saw what a mine of intellectual wealth was before him, and he never left it without adding to his own vast stores. Lord Brougham called the old man father, and was proud to be considered his disciple and son. Need we say more ? Bentham must indeed have been a truly great man. It is pretty well known, we believe, that Ben tham, who lived to be more than an octogena rian without growing feeble in intellect—the productions of his pen until within a few clays of his death being as vigorous as those which he had written twenty years hefore—left a provision in his will for the publication of his works by his valued friend Dr. Bowring, who closed the eyes of the good philosopher, and who is well calculated to superintend and direct the means of keeping alive his fame. The work now before us is the first, or one of the first, of the unpublished works of Bentham which Dr. Bowring has prepared for the press. It is called "Deontology" for the reasons stated by the author in one of the extracts which we subjoin, and is divided into two parts —the first treating of the theory and the second of the practice of the social princi ples. From the nature of the work it would be difficult to offer an analysis of it in this article, and we trust such a labour is unnecessary, as most persons will be disposed to purchase a work, the object of which is to instruct men in the art of doing good to others, and insuring the peace of their own minds. The style is rather quaint, but not disagreeably so, and there is this advantage in it, that those who knew not Ben tham when living, may learn from his works what he was. He wrote as he spoke, without preparation—without effort, for although every line is a maxim, he aimed not at being a maxim writer. Those who knew Bentham have only to read his works, and they will look up expecting to behold the man. Dr. Bowring, in a beautiful preface to the " Deontology" says : " This work was in the course of preparation for the press when its great Author's earthly labours were sud denly closed. He had, up to the latest period of his exist ence, been accustomed to record the desultory thoughts which occurred to his mind 9n the must important subject of which the volume treats ; and I bad the advantage, in my intimate communion with him, of seeking such quid• ance from him as was necessary for the understanding and arrangement of the mass of undigested fragments which be from time to time placed in my hands. It was a happy and an interesting task to follow him through those inves tigations in which benevolence and wisdom were mutual handmaids,—and emphatic indeed was the ins•ruction which was so beautifully exemplified in every thought, and word, and action of the Instructor. I took up my pen with alacrity—l pursued my task w ith e v e r-n ew d e li g ht—l e nd e d it with feelings of gloom, for which I can find no adequate expression. The charm is gone—the voice is silenced which conducted and gladdened me on my way. These pages as I turn them over seem to have the solemnity of a sepulchral e c h o .

Scoffers him in his progress, but where is the sag e or who having listened has been wanting ° r as scorned, gratitude to the man who first made l egislation ev a er s e e l ' e c n e an ;t l , We shall conclude with a few extracts from e.e the work. " DEONTOLOGY EXPLAINED.— Deontology is derived from the Greek words, '7O OE', (that which is proper) and IVY/La, knowledge—meaning the knowledge of what is ,ight or proper; and it is here specially applied to the subject of morals, or that part of the field of action which is not the object of public legislation. As an art, it is the doing what is fit to be done; as a science, the knowing what is fit to be done on every occasion. " But the inquiry, as applied by the individual to his own rule of conduct, resolves itself into a question as to what he himself approves—what can be made to appear to himself as fit to be approved on the given occasion. And why should he declare his approbation of a particular course of conduct ? Undoubtedly, because the approbation may lead to its adoption. And it will be thus conducive to it. Public opinion is made up of individual opinions ; and public opinion is that which constitutes the popular or moral sanction. A large quantity of recompense to act upon our hopes, and a large quantity of punishment to influence our fears, are in the hands of popular opinion. Of this influential power, every individual in the community forms a part ; and may exercise and apply his portion of eward or punishment,--reward for the acts which merit his approbation—punishment for those of which he disap proves. He has thus a power over motives, and that to the extent in which he can dispose of the matter of pleasure ' and pain. These motives may sometimes be brought into operation by merely indicating their existence; at other times they may be created : and under both circumstances they will influence human conduct ; nor can the effect be always foreseen. The affections and the will are touched by the motives prescribed to them, just as the Eolean harp strings vibrate to the passing wind. By presenting mo tives, we necessitate acts; by awakening expectation of eventual pain or pleasure, we influence character. In proportion to the confidence felt in the opinions and friendly dispoiition of the teacher, will be the deference of the learner ; in proportion to the pain or pleasure excited by the disapprobation, or approbation, which the instructor may be able to attach to different actions, will be the power of the instructor to enforce or to prevent those actions. And the test of the value of the work he enters upon will be its harmony with some recognised principles, by which he consents that his instruction shall be tried." " 'fanismast OF A WORD.—The talisman of arro gance, indolence, and ignorance, is to be found in a single word, an authoritative imposture, which in these pages it will be frequently necessary to unveil. It is the word ought'—' ought or ought not,' as circumstances may be. In deciding You ought to do this—you ought.not to do it,'—is not every question of morals set at rest? " If the use of the word be admissible at all, it ' ought' to be banished front the vocabulary of morals. " There is another word, which has a talismanic virtue too, and which might be wielded to destroy many fatal and fallacious positions. Yon ought'—' you ought not,' says the dogmatist. Why? retorts the inquirer—Why? To say you ought,' is easy in the extreme. To stand the searching penetration of a Why? is not so easy. "Why ought I? Rotause you ought—is the not un frequent reply;—on which the Why? comes back again with the added advantage of having obtained a victory." " PteAsußs AND PAIN.—One general class of pains there are which must be resolved into all the classes of corresponding pleasures. These are the pains of privation,— the pains arising from the absence of enjoyment. Same of these vibrate, as it were, between the regions of pain and pleasure. 'Desire, for example, may belong to either ; its long continuance, without being satisfied, makes it almost invariably painful. When enjoyment seems so adjacent, or so certain as to create assurance, and the expectation of its arrival suddenly ceases, come the pains of disappoint ment. When an enjoyment is over, and its return cannot be anticipated, come the pains of regret. Pains there are grounded on pleasures, and pleasutes grounded o❑ pains-- as the pleasures of relief, when pain ceases or abates. 0 the whole list of pains and pleasures, two classes only regard others—they are those of benevolence and malevolence. All the rest are self-regarding." " LOCKE ON UNEASINESS.—By an ill-considered ex pression, Locke, a man worth a hundred Maupertuises, has given countenance to a most false, uncomfortable, and pernicious sentiment. He says that every action has its source in uneasiness. If this be true, uneasiness is the necessary accompaniment of action ; and a man, as often as he acts and as long as he acts, must be ill at ease. But what is the feeling which Locke calls uneasiness? It is anything but a painful one. It is the sense, the presentiment, of a capacity for enjoying, at some future time, a pleasure not then present. Pleasure may be springing from a thousand sources, while anticipation is looking to the opening of many more. The present may be bright with enjoyment, while the door of a brighter future is unlocked ; and to the pleasures of possession may be associated the pleasures of hope." " VIRTUE DEFINED.—Effort, undoubtedly, is needful to virtue, and the seat of that effort, in the case of pru dence, is principally i❑ the understanding ; in the case of effective benevolence, mainly in the will and the affections. " I meet an adversary in the road. He aims a blow at me with a stick. I spring aside and escape the stroke. Here is usefulness—sell preservation, but here is nd room for prudence. " I hear that an adversary is laying wait for me at a certain spot. I avoid the path that leads to it, and repair to my place of destination by a more circuitous or expen sive road. Here is usefulness by self-preservation ; but here, too, there has been exercise of the understanding, and room, at least for prudence." " And so, when the seat of the effort be the will. I purchase at the baker's shop a loaf for my own dinner; there is double usefulness—usefulness to myself by the preservation of life; to the baker by his profit on the loaf. "I am accosted by a famished beggar. He has more need of the loaf than I. I give it him, and lose my dinner. Here, too, is usefulness ; but here, also, is virtue : for, to subject myself to pain, as here,—to pain in the shape of hunger,—requires an effort, and that effort I have made." The Duke of Devonshire, at the date of his Grace's list letters, contemplated being in London by the end of March. Lady Ellenborough has again paid her devo tions to the hymeneal altar. She has been led to it by a nobleman attached to the diplomacy at Munich, where her influence over a crowned head was said to be all powerful. The corps diplomatique and the Court have received the new-made wife. Lord Brougham has the reputation among his intimates of being a warm-hearted man ; and the manner in which he received the intelligence of the sudden death of the wife of his great legal and political rival fully satis fied us that friendship was not in his case deceived by appearances. His Lordship was in Court, when one of his officers intimated, in a low tone, that Lady Lyndhurst was dead. " Dead !" exclaimed his Lordship, where is Lord Lyndhurst? Is he gone ?" and the Noble Lord, with much apparent agitation, half rose from his seat as if, under the impulse of the moment, he was about to rush to the chamber of the Chief Baron to offer his sympathy and condolence in affliction.—Morning Paper. A Correspondent assures us that Lord Gren ville acquired the nickname of " Boggy . ' when he was a boy at Eton school, in consequence of his rotundity. When he was Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs during Pitt's administration, George Canning was Under Secre tary, and he frequently complained of the haughty demeanour of his chief. Lord Grenville was not an elder brother or trustee of the British Museum at the time of his deatb. He was four years older than his surviving brother, Mr. Thomas Grenville, who was during many years a warmly attached pet s9nal friend of Charles Fox. DINNER TO MR. HUTT.—The Hull Ad vertiser gives a report, six columns in length, of a public dinner given to Mr. Hutt by his constituents in that town onWednesday last. Sir W. Ingilhy, who took the chair on the occasion, after the usual toasts, proposed the health of Earl Grey and of the Ministers who cartied the Reform Bill, which was received with loud cheers. The health of the Earl of Durham was next drunk with great enthusiasm, after a highly complimentary speech by the Chairman, who said he believed his Lordship to be "one of the most real, substantial, radical oat•and.out reformers of any nobleman in existence." Mr. Hutt, when his health was proposed, rendered an account of his stewardship, which was received in a tnost flattering manner. He afterwards proposed the health of his colleague, Mr. Hill, which was drunk with loud cheering. Mr. Hutt retired shortly before twelve, and soon afterwards the• worthy baronet left the chair, and the gentlemen crowded round him to shake hands, and wish him prosperity. The lodging-housekeepers and proprietors of residences at Brighton have been wofully disappointed in their expectations of high rents during the present season. Mansions of the first class, which in former winters have been let for twenty guineas a week, this year produced only ten. Houses in the most admired situations, and very capacious, might have been had even for 8 guineas a week. We have authority to state, that Sir Robert Peel has declined to allow himself to be put in' nomination tor the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford.— Morning Paper. AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH.- About eight o'clock on Friday night as Mr. John Day, !milder, residing in Little Ch ester fi e ld. street , M ary l e b one , was sitting at his parlour fire smoking his pipe, the pipe suddenly dropped from his hand, and he fell with his head on the back of the chair. His wife, who was in the room, immediately ran forward to his assistance, and having suc ceeded in placing him on a sofa, in a senseless state, she sent for a surgeon. The poor man, however, was quite dead, DENH A I.L.

CHARING CROSS AND STRAND IstraovEntiarrs. Schedule, No. 15, contains the particulars of 13 free hold houses in and near Downing-street, and 1 freehold house in St. Martin's-lane, which have been purclused at the price of 7,563/. 18s, Bd., under the authority of ~., he Act 7 Geo. IV. c. 77, and complete .the Ust of free hold purchases authori•rd by ti:tit. In Schedule No. 16 are the pti ticulars of 26 leases of houses and buildings, erected in and near the Strand, granted under the provisions of the last-mentioned Act (7 George IV. c. 77), at rents amounting together to 4.0.15/. 12s. 6d. per annum. We live the satisfaction to report that the improve ments, authoriz-d by the Act 7 George IV. c. 77, at Gearing-cross, in the Strand, in Downing-street, and at King-street, St. James's, which, in an estimate laid before Piiliament in March, 1829, were calculated to cost 1,147,318/. 12s. 91 will be completed within that esti mate. The total cost of the improvements to the sth Jinn lry list, as shown in the schedules No. 17, 17 (a), is 1,111,105/. 18s. 11,1., and the only property remaining to be p urc h ase d i s the leasehold i nterests i n n i ne h ouses in Downing street, the fee—simple of which is vested in the Crown. The aggregate amount of rents reserved in the leases already granted under this Act is 5,993/. 7s. per annum, as detailed in the schedules annexed to our last and pre sent report. We have also let plots of ground, the leases of which are in preparation, for rents amounting together to 2,055/ 103., nuking the total rent of property already let 8,048/. r 7 s. A plot of ground on the north side of Trafalgar-square, co the estimated yearly value of 1,3001., has been reserved ae a site for a gallery for the national pictures, and for the use of the Royal Academy, towards the building of hich a sum of 15,0001. (on account of an estimate of 50,0001.) was voted in the last session of Parliament; nd upon an amended estimate, amounting to 62,000/., hid before Parliament in the present session, a further sum ot 10,000/. has been voted ; but it having been found, upon submitting to c tmpetition detailed specifications and working drawings for erecting the proposed buildings ac cording to the plans as ultimately arranged and approved of by the Treasury, the lowest tenders for the execution of the work would make the cost thereof about '76,8001., further proceedings have for the present been susp. , nded. The property in Dawninpstreet and Fludyer_stree', if the prsent old houses shall be taken down, and the ground be let on building Lases, or reserved as sites for public office, as may be deemed most advisable (hut in either cases giving additional width to the street), is ot the estimated yearly value of 800/., so that the several sums before-mentioned, amounting together to 10,148/. 75., may be considered to be the whole amount of the annual return from the improvements under the said Act. We have stated, that in effecting these improvements the cost will not exceed the estimate laid before Parliament in 1829: we beg leave also to state, that the rents pro duced by the new lettings, with the value of the ground reserved for public purposes, have not fallen short of wh,,t was reckoned upon ; and although the pecuniary retut n may be deemed 'very inadequate to the expense incurred, the increased accommodation to the public in passing through tie great thoroughfare of the Strand, by widen ing the principal street, and by forming new and improving old lateral streets, and the general improvement of this part of the metropolis, Wiil, we believe, be found to have fully realized the expectations which Parliament and the public were led to entertain when these measures were first sanctioned. Schedule, No. 18, contains the particulars of 24 leases, at rents amounting in the aggregate to 1,4171. 10s. 9d. per annum, which have been granted under the authority of the Act 53 George 111., c. 121, in lieu of 4 leases of the same premises for coexistent terms and similar rents, which the hssees have surrendered for the conve nience of having separate Crown leases of each house : this schedule also contains the particulars of a lease of the Union Club House in Cockspur-street, which has been granted at a'rent of 3061. per annum, under the authority of the same Act.

The accounts also comprise the receipt and expenditure i several of the Royal gardens, which were, for the first time, placed under the care of our department in the course of the last year. Under the authority of an Act of 2 William IV., c. 52, we advanced towards promoting the improvement of an extetisiVe district Of mountain land belonging to the Crown, in the 'counties of Limerick, Cork, and Kerry, the ',um of 2,500/. The whole estimated cost of the works and improve ments contemplated by that Act is 24,000/., of which 17,0001. is authorized to be provided out of the land re venue of the Crown, on a condition, which has been Italled, that the grand juries for_ the counties of Cork and Kerry grant presentments towards the same objects, the former of 4,7001., and the latter of 2,3001. The other beads of receipt and expenditure are such as hive been usual in fortner,acconnts. We have made a further repayment upon the loans of 400,000/. from the Exchequer-bill commissioners, tank ing, with former repaynrfents, 45,250/. ; and towards' providing for the repayment of the first instalment of 90,000/. in part of another loin of 300,000/. borrowed from the Equitable Assurance Company, we have made a further investment in Exchequer bills of 25,000/., making, with 40,0001. previously invested in the like security, 65,000/. applicable to the payment of that instalment. In our last report we stated that there remained due from our funds to those for the liquidation of claims upon the French Government, 100,000/. out of 250 0001, which had at different times been advanced to this depart. meat. Of that remaining 100,000/. a sum of 75,0001. was repaid during the last year, and at the close of that year the several debts then chargeable against the land re venue of the Crown were as follows : To the Exchequer Bill Loan Commissioner? £351 750 To the Equitable Assurance Company 300,000 To the Funds for the liquidation of French claims exclusive of interest £679,750 DUNCANNON. W. D. ADAMS. B. C. STEPHENSON. Commissioners of his Maiesty's Woods, Forests, Land Revenues, Works, and Buildings. Office of Woods, &c., Aug. 28. Henry was mounted on a stately white courser, most gorgeously caparisoned; the trappings, breast-plrte, head-stalls, reins, and stirrups, being covered with wrought gold and highly embossed. On his head was a black velvet cap with a white plume, and studded with rubies, eme ralds, and other precious stones. He wore a damask garment of cloth-of_gold, thickly ribbed with silver, over a jacket of rose coloured velvet; from his shoulders hung a beautiful large collar, composed of rubies and branches of pearl set alternately ; and on his breast was a rich jewel of St. George suspended by a riband of the order. His boots were of yellow leather, and he held a small whip in his hand. Abreast of the King, mounted on a bay horse, rode Cardinal Wolsey. He was hahited in the full robes of a Cardinal, and the magnificence of his dress surpassed even that of his master; while innumerable multitudes crowded around him, some waving their caps, and some prostrate on their knees, craving his blessing. In his right hand he held a small ivory crucifix, which he pressed t ) his bosom, while his left was outstretched, as if dis pensing his benedic:ion to the populace. He had tortured his features into an expression of excessive mildness and humility ; but, master as be was of the art of dissimula tion, he had nut been able to tame the fiery eye, or to curb the wr:th e d lip, w hi c h t o o pl a inly indicated his haughty and imperious temper. Francis was less gor geously apparelled than his brother Monarch, and indeed his whole appearance, as well as that of the gallant steed on which he rode, evinced a less eager love of pomp and magnificence, hut at the same time indicated a finer taste cod greater simplicity of feeling. His train was numerous aid composed of persons of as high rank and distinction as that of his brother . Monartib.—Neele's Ronvince of History.
