A salute of cannon, and tr• . the National Anthem of God Save the Queen," per formed by a well-regulated band, also welcomed them. sc. The Pier being open to the public throughout the day free o f Ay charge, a vast number of the inhabi tants of the neighbourhood availed themselves of the 841 1K‘ as a p romena d e; and, as suc h , i t cannot f a il t o insure great attraction from the beautiful views of the ri ver, the adjoining grounds of James Harmer, Esq., and the s urround i ng country. _Afterwards a large party of the Shareholders and their friends partook of an excellent dinner, provided at the Admiral Keel Inn, at which the usual loyal toasts were drank. During the evening, some excellent glees and songs were sung by Messrs. Jolly and Fitzwilliam, &c., succeeded by discharges of can line, the performance of several pieces by the band, a nd good . di sp l a y of fireworks at the Pier head.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT LEITH. On Tuesday afternoon the Tolbooth Wynd, Leith was the scene of a dreadful accident, involving the loss of two lives, occasioned by the fall of an old tenement, three stories high, which it is said has for some time been in a rather tottering and dangerous condition. It was rented by an individual, who let it out in the way of temporary lodgings, principally to people belonging to the island of rkney, who generally put up there when they came to Leith; and at the time when it fell (five o'clock afternoon), it is believed there were twelve persons, some say only eleven, within. Six of these had just arrived in the forenoon from America, five of them sailors, and the other a joiner, who had, after an absence of twenty four years in New York, come to spend the remainder of his days in his native island. The sailors and the joiner were sitting together conversing in one of the rooms, and were just noticing that some of the plaster was falling from the roof, when the walls of their room fell in, and the whole house came down with a tremendous crash, burying them in the ruins, along with other two, some say three, who were in a separate apartment. Crowds from all quarters instantly rushed to the spot, and the greatest excitement pre vailed when the cause of the sudden crash was seen. On approaching the, scene, the groans and cries of those buried in the ruins were distinctly heard. Mea sures were immediately and with the greatest promp titude adopted for their relief; and after some time— about three-quarters of an hour—they succeeded in bringing out all those who were known with cer tainty to have been within the tenement at the time of its falling—two of them, we are sorry to say, quite dead, and the others very seriously injured. One of the two killed was the joiner just returned in the fore noon from America. The survivors were ex tern ally much bruised and internally more or less injured. They were all immediately conveyed to the Leith Dispensary,where the most prompt and praiseworthy attention was paid to them by the excellent resident surgeon, Mr. Jack son, and also by Drs. Coldstream and Bruce. Of the twelve who were in the tenement when it fell, three persons, two women and a man, made a very narrow and miraculous escape. They had been sitting for some time in the 'same apartment with the sailors, and had retired to take tea in another room at the other end of the building, just about two or three minutes before the catastrophe happened. Part of the floor of the room to which they had retired was, strange to say, left standing, while the rest fell, and they stood on it, in no small terror, till they were taken down from their perilous position by means of ladders. Great excitement prevails in Leith in consequence of this accident, some, we understand, alleging that the building ought to have been taken down, as unsafe, years ago. It is said by some that there is still an other man in the ruins; others, however, assert that the man referred to left some minutes before. The authorities have given orders thoroughly to search the ruins, in order to extricate him if he be there. The search was going on at one o clock thin morning when we left. --Edinburgh Witness. THE WEATHER.—In the beginning of the last week, the weather was of a most boisterous descrip tion. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, the wind blew tempestuously, veering between N. and N.E., accompanied by a fall of snow, so heavy, that in a short time after its commencement, its depth was about nine inches, on the open fields. The loss of property, in some parts, has been immense ; but we are happy to say, that although numerous vessels have been wrecked, few lives have been lost. The steamers that ply to this port were detained past their usual time, but received no damage—it being principally on the east coast of England that the effect of the storms have been most severely felt. —lnverness Courier of *Wednesday.

LONDON, Nov. 5, 1842. The following average prices of Brown or Musco vado British Sugars, exclusive of duty, were pub lished in the Gazette of last night : East India 3ss. 91-d. per cwt. Mauritius 32 5 West India 33 41 WELLs.—The same is the case with respect to Wells. The total average price of the three descriptions is 355. id. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the Ist inst., accord ing to the returns made .upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in compliance with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con. sisted of 33,660 cwt. West India, 8,431 cwt. East India, and 1,072 cwt. Mauritius. About 1,600 cwt. of very dark unsound Sugar have been sold in the same week at from 225. to 275. per cwt., which having been classed in the returns as .East India, unfairly depresses the average priceof that -kind of Sugars, as well as the total average price. Foreign Sugars, quality for quality, with the ave rage Of West India Sugar, may be bought for 17s. 6d. per cwt., they are consequently 18s. 3d. per cwt. cheaper. The total sales for the week in Mincing lane were 43,163 cwt., taking the sales at the outports to be together the same as the London market ; the consumers bought 86,000 cwt. of Sugar at 355. 9d. per cwt., amounting in round numbers to 152,0001. sterling ; they might have bought the same weight, 86,000 cwt. of foreign Sugar at 17s. 6d. per cwt., amounting to 75,250/. sterling ; they have, therefore, given the monopolists, over and above the real value of their Sugar, 76,7501.—pretty well for one week. On the 9th September last, under the head "Price of Sugar," we stated that by throwing out of sugar cultivation the worn-out soils in the West Indies, the rich and good yielding plantations might be culti vated at a proper rate of wages; and that, in the aggregate, more sugar would be imported into this country from the West Indies by such an arrange ment, than by the system now in practice, of apply ing labour to exhausted soils. Th a t the wages of the blacks would, in consequence of the adoption of the proposed mode, be reduced to such an amount as would compel them to work continuously, in lieu of alternate days ; and that the proprietors, provided they resided on their respective estates and looked after their own affairs, as they ought to do, would be enabled to undersell, at ex-duty price, the sugar produced by their foreign competitors through the means of slavery, in any market in the world, thereby effectually driving slave labour from the field. Great Britain has, therefore, cheap and easy means in her own hands of annihilating the slave trade by rendering it unprofitable to those who carry it on. While this great truth is apparent, she may send fleets . to intercept the traders; she may burn barracoons, and make other violent demonstrations if she please to• submit to the costs of so doing, and of the chance of embroiling herself in a war; she may have one set of Ministers, who stimulate by their in structions the energies of her sailers on the African coast, and another set who counter-order the direc tions of their predecessors, and thereby damp those energies. She may do this, and a great deal more, but she will signally fail to impress either the nations of Europe or the United States with the belief that she seriously intends merely to suppress the traffic ; they will place no more reliance on her declarations than we (the English) do on the assurances of the Go vernments of Cuba and the Brazils that they are in tent on abolishing slavery : We naturally perceive that a few policemen, judiciously stationed in Cuba and the Brazils would, at a small cost, prevent the landing of the slaves from the slave traders' ships, or, at all events , the sale of the un happy victims afterwards. We therefore arrive at the conclusion that these Governments turn a willing ear to their supposed interests, and fling humanity to the winds. So they, the nations of Europe and the United States, have a right fair l y to conclude that Great Britain, possessing as she does the means of exterminating the slave trade at little cost, whenever she chooses, is not honest in her views, or that, if she really,intends to stop the traffic, she has also some ulterior object to attain valuable to her commerce, in proportion to the pains she takes, and the expense she is at, in displaying her opposition. These nations have also remarked that, throughout the contest in this country about slavery, the people invariably took the lead ; the people compelled a powerful interested aristocracy into the grand measure of emancipa tiong o th ; the people loosened th hem slave holders, and drove t fprom f che e rished practices, sanctioned by time and cus tom. To the people, and to them alone, the negroes in the Briti s h possessions are indebted for t th o e p i l r ac freedom ; all the upheGoonyteirinembeon of their liberationnot of the day did wa s as was thought would arrest the realization of the people's wishes—an amount more than the worth of the fee simple of all the West India Islands put toge ther, as they were then, and are now managed. Con trary, however, to expectation, the money was cheer fully paid, and the great and glorious day for general emancipation appointed. Foreign nations witnessed these proceedings; they remarked the unwillingness of certain influential parti es t o come into the measure ; they now behold those very part i es in power ; with them they must treat w h en any g reat question is under consideration. Are they w rong, then, when the subject of slavery i s th e qaestion, in distrusting the sincerity of these men ? Can blame attach to a foreign Minister who refuses to enter into treaties containing conditions which, in operation, would cer tainly detract from the dignity of the nation lie repre sents, and, probably, interrupt her legitimate com merce. Are the Governments of France and the United States wrong in resisting such a humiliating measure, as the proposed right of search—especially, knowing, as they both know, that the degrading pro ceeding is unnecessary to secure the professed object ? That Great Britain holds the cards in her own hands —that she can so play them, if she please, that slavery will be speedily annihil a t e d. S lave produce is bought on account of its cheapness, no t b ec ause it is slave produce. Let Great Brit a i n manage h er W es t India possessions, as common sense d i ctates s h e s h ou ld do, and free-labour produce will b ecome th e cheapest, to the certain exclusion of slave-raised sugar from all the markets in the world.

The last gentleman may be a ac, o i tr con sidered somewhat doubtful on this question, from hav ing been returned mainly through the influence of the Non-Intrusion party, although he is a Dissenter and a Radical. The eleven old Councillors who re tired to make room for the eleven new members, con sisted of four Liberals who were decidedly opposed to the Non-Intrusionists (Messrs. Richardson, Thomson, Black, and Renton), five avowed Non-Intrusionists (Messrs. Lothian, Melville, Tait, R usse ll , an d D r . Macaulay), one who was practicall a tool in their hands, although not profess i nx , their creed (Mr. Doud), and one Tory (Mr. Hunter).

WILD SWANS.—Last Thursday afternoon three of these graceful strangers were seen at the Longman, near Millburn—their snow• white plumage fluttering in the wind, as they rose and fell on the chafed waters of the Moray Frith. A sportsman, who was present, fired a charge at them, which they shook from their wings like dew. The v:cient gales of last week seem to have brought several rare birds to our shores. Another stormy petrel was found near Raigmore, this week, by Mr. Naughten, jeweller, who has sent it to be preserved.—lnucrness Courier. Early last hunting season, the day had been ex: ceedingly wet, the Marquis of Waterford stopped at the Fethard Hotel, to change clothes which had been left there in the morning, and placed at the fire be tween those of two friends of his Lordship's. The proprietor of the hotel met the Marquis with a me lancholy face, and said—" My Lord, a serious acci dent has occurred—your Lordship's clothes have been burned to ashes, and your friends' clothes, that were on each side, were not even scorched." " Well," said the Marquis, " the children have not been burned, nor the house ? " " Ng, my Lord." " Would you charge them to me if they had ? " " No, my Lord." "Well, then, neither will]. charge you for the clothes." —Limerick Paper. PUGILISTIC CONTEST DETIMEN TWO WESTMINSTER SCHOLARS.--Yesterday a fight took place between two of the scholars in the enclosed grass-plot behind the Abbey. One of the combatants was named Brown, a hardy red-haired boy ; the other was styled the Somersetshire hero. In appearance each was about thirteen years of age. During the fourteen or fifteen first rounds they both exhibited extreme fistic skill, covered their frontispieces well, stopping with great precision, and consequently receiving little or no injuries. Brown, badly advised by his seconds, who were the biggest youths in the school, adopted a system of lunging with his right, then wheeling round and getting away. The Somerset shire hero always followed his antagonist, hit at him with his right, as he retreated, but was gene rally short. Brown, about the middle of the fight, struck the first knock-down blow. Brown was then advised to try infighting, and did so, but he had the worst of it. The young second of the Somersetshire boy advised him to try the upper cut, as his opponent rushed in with his head down. The advice was adopted with stinging effect, and the yellow-haired stripling soon showed symptoms of being "groggy." He was always ready for the fray, however, when time was called, but at last, as he was retreating, " weak upon his pins," his spirited rival rushed after him, hit him hard on the side of the face, and knocked him clean down. This blow decided the contest. Poor Brown was deaf to the call of time, and his second gave in for him. PAUPERISM IN SUNDERLAND:7MM is now a greater number of applicants for relief, and a larger amount expended for the Sunderland Union, than at any preceding time. Hundreds of men, but lately in respectable circumstances, are now compelled to break stones, that they may receive a small amount of paro chial relief. Last week no fewer than 4,500 persons were allowed out-door relief in this town.---S'under laid ,era;. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY. Nov. 4. M 4 IIADDEN V. JENKINS.-JUDGMENT.. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morn ing in this case, which was argued some time since. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, upon a motion for an injunction to stay proceedings at law. The facts stated in support of the application were, that the testator in the cause, Thomas Warry, lent a sum of 500/. to the defendant Jenkins to be returned by him in a short time. Sometime afterwards Thomas Warry sent a verbal direction to Jenkins to hold the 5001. in trust for Mrs. Warry ; this Mr. Jenkins did, and the question was, whether under those circumstances the transaction was binding on the estate of Warry, the executors having brought an action against Jenkins for the recovery of the money lent, and it being obvious that the question could not be settled in a Court of Law, the bill was filed in this Court, and the injunction granted. Those points were disposed of by Vice-Chancellor Wigram which were free from doubt, and which were not contested in this, namely, that a declaration by parole was sufficient to create a trust of personal pro perty of the testator. Thomas Warry had in his lifetime declared himself a trustee of the debt for the plaintiff; that, in equity, would perfect the gift to the plaintiff against Thomas \\Tarry and his estate. The distinctions on this subject were refined, but there was no difference between such a case and the present. The testator, by directing Jenkins to hold the money in trust for a certain purpose, impressed a trust upon it which was complete and irrevocable ; the trans action bore no resemblance to an agreement to assign, it was a clear trust, and the aid of the Court was not necessary to complete it. Such being his Lordship's opinion, and corresponding as it did with the opinion of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram, he could not do otherwise than dismiss the appeal. In doing this, he must be understood as not pronouncing any conclusive opinion on the facts of the case ; it would be difficult to say what would be the result on the hearing of the cause, but as the appeal seemed to have been brought at the suggestion of the Court below, it must be dis missed without costs. IN THE MATTER OF SUISSE.-THE LATE MARQUIS OP HERTFORD. Mr. SUTTON SHARPE said the Court would recol lect that sometime before the long vacation a motion was made in the matter of Suisse, the valet of the late Marquis of Hertford, and that motion was or dered to stand over until after Suisse had been tried at the Central Criminal Court. That trial had taken place, and he had now to apply to the Court to ap point an early day for renewing the motion. Mr. FOLLETT, who appeared for the executors of the late Marquis of Hertford, was instructed to ask for time to answer an affidavit made by Suisse. The LORD CHANCELLOR—We will take it on Thursday week, as that will be motion day. IN THE MATTER OF SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER, A LUNATIC. The remainder of the day was occupied with hear ing the arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon the petition of Mrs. Friar, the only daughter of the lunatic, praying that she might be allowed the sum of 2001. a year out of the lunatic's estate. From the statement of the Learned Counsel on behalf of the petitioner, it appeared:that there was an annual surplus, after paying the allowance to the lunatic and his lady, of upwards of 3,0001.; that the debts of the lunatic at the present time amounted to 11,000/. ; and that there was upwards of 12,0001., in cash and Consols, in Court, and under such circumstances the petitioner who, previously- to her marriage, had re ceived 2001. a year, but which had been discontinued since, prayed it might be again paid to her. Mr. Teed and Mr. Wilcock, who appeared for the petitioner, addressed the Court at considerable length in her behalf. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Bethell appeared for the com mittee and the creditors, to oppose the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR declined to make any order on the petition until the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Friar was executed. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 4. BARWELL V. BARWELL. This was an application on behalf of Edward Bar well, the plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the de fendant, Mary Barwell, the widow of the plaintiff's brother, from proceeding in an action at law com menced by her against the plaintiff for 2001., the amount of a promissory note passed to her husband by the plaintiff. Mr. TURNER, who appeared for the plaintiff, entered into a detailed statement of various money transac tions between the parties, who were greengrocers ; and on the grounds upon which he rested the applica tion, but they were by no means of an interesting nature. His LORDSFIIE saw no just grounds for the motion, and accordingly refused the order. THE LONDON CAOUTCHOUC COMPANY V. CARPENTER In this cause, which has been frequently before the Court, the present application was on behalf of the plaintiffs for an injunction to restrain the defendant. Samuel Carpenter, of Birmingham, from manufactur ing, using, &c., the plaintiff's invention in India rubber, webb, braces, &c. His LORDSHIP granted the order. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 4. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) The Court was occupied this morning with unop , posed petitions and short causes. • EX PARTE MARE V. THE MANCHESTER AND BIRMIIIG• HAM RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an application on behalf of the plaintiff for an order respecting a sum of 450/., compensation and interest, for the occupation of a piece of land, pur chased by the Company, for the purposes of the rail way. On behalf of the plaintiff it was contended that the Company had entered into possession of the land without the consent of the plaintiff. This possession was taken in December, 1837 ; no purchase-money was actually paid, nor did the Company remain, as to that money, responsible to the owner. The money was in a very unusual and extraordinary manner handed over to the two solicitors of the Company, and by those gentlemen lodged in a bank in their own names. However good the responsibility might be, it was the responsibility of the solicitors only, not of the Company. The Company had been in possession of the land ever since the above date, deriving a benefit from it, and now would neither pay rent nor interest. The Company relied on their own Act of Parliament ; the purchase-money was paid in June, 1840, but the interest was still refused. The money had been shifted from the Company to the solicitors, and from the solicitors back to the Company, and had at last been lodged in the Court of Exchequer. It was paid into the Court in April, 1839. Mr. BACON was heard on the part of the defendants. His HoNoua said the case involved a vast number of points, and he must read over the affidavits leisurely. He should also like to have an affidavit as to the re ceipt of the letter of the 12th of April, 1838, by the solicitors of the plaintiff. He should take time to give his decision. RANGER V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. On the application of the Counsel on both sides, tha hearing of this case and cross case was deferred till the 2d of January next. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 4. (Sitting in Banco.) THE SOLAR LAMP—THE QUEEN V. DINNER. In this case a scire facias had been issued to try the validity of a patent which had been taken out by the defendant for the invention of the solar lamp. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and the Jury found all the issues but one for the Crown, thus finding that the patent was invalid. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now applied for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict, or for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. The Learned Gentleman argued the question at great length, contending that the defendant had made a great improvement on the lamps previously in use ; that his specification was correct, clear, and intelligible; that it disclosed the whole secret of his invention, and that, therefore, the finding of the Jury was against evidence, and the patent actually a v alid one in law. The COURT took time to consider. CANADIAN, THE DERBY, AND THE SUNDAY TIMES. GREVILLE V. CHAPMAN.—LIBEL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman well known upon the turf, a member of the Jockey Club, and the owner of the horse Cana dian, against the defendant, the proprietor of the Sunday Times newspaper,. for the publication of a libel, charging him with dishonourable conduct in relation to the race for the Derby Stakes, at the last Epsom races. The defendant had pleaded the general issue, and had also placed on the record several pleas of justification. The case had come on for trial be fore Lord Abinger at the last Surrey Assizes, and the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. 'the SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved. on behalf of defendant, for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered, or why a new trial should not be granted, on the ground that the libel did not reflect upon the character of the plaintiff at all, or if it did, it reflected upon it only in relation to an illegal trans action, and one which could consequently not be made the subject of an action. The alleged libel had appeared in defendant's newspaper, and without mentioning any names, it went on to charge a certain person with dishonourable conduct in regard to the Derby stakes at Epsom. The declaration had been d r awn up in a peculiar manner : it did not set out I any inuendo, or state of what the plaintiff com plained as having been alleged against him. The declaration, after stating that a race for the Derby stakes had been run at Epsom on a certain day, on which occasion a horse called Attila had come in first,and a horse called Robert de Gorham second, went on to state that a horse named Canadian had been entered to run for the Derby, but had been withdrawn before the race was run ; that the plaintiff had become the purchaser of such horse after the horse had been en tered for the race, and before he had been withdrawn ; that the plaintiff was a member of the Jockey Club. The declaration, after explaining the meaning of a per son betting 1,000 to: 1, or to 3, against a horse, set out the libel which had appeared in defendant's newspaper, r published on th e S un d a y aft e r the races. pie paragraph complained of was headed t‘ the Cana dian Affair." (The Learned Gentleman here read the libel, which stated that the writer trusted the recent doings at Epsom would operate as a caution to to honest b e tt ers , s i nce th ey f oun d th a t a man of high rank would bet thousands against a horse, purchase him, and withdraw him just before the race ; that Canadian had, on some previous occa sion, given Robert de Gorham a lumping weight and beat him, but that, since then, Canadian had been sold ; that a lame excuse was better than none, for withdrawing a horse the day before a race ; and the paragraph concluded with these questions, " Was Canadian lame when he entered the van ? was he lame when he came out of the van at Epsom." The Court would perceive that no name was mentioned through out the libel. At the trial it was proved that Mr. Greville had betted against the horse; that he had afterward purchased the horse ; that the horse had been sent in a van from Winchestor to Epsom, for the purpose of running at the race ; that the horse had fallen lame, and that he had been withdrawn, on account of his lameness. Evidence had been given as to the lameness of the horse. Now the libel imputed to Mr. Greville that he acted dishonourably as regarded the bets on the horse, not that he had acted dishon ourably in merely withdrawing him; there was no thing dishonourable in the mere act of withdrawing the horse ; all that could possibly happen would be that he would lose his chance of winning the stakes. It was proved at the trial that he had a right to withdraw his horse by the rules of the Jockey Club ; and that if he had betted against the horse and subsequently withdrew him, he would, according to the rules of the Jockey Club, be entitled to receive those bets. How, then, could it be contended that the paragraph complained of was a libel ? He had a full right not to run his horse if he chose to withdraw him. But it had been said that the withdrawing a horse under such circum stances was a dishonourable act, and on that point he should presently contend that evidence had been received by the Court which was not properly receiv able. Now he (the Solicitor-General) contended that the action was untenable. The whole transaction was an illegal one, and having embarked in an illegal tran saction, by betting at a horse-race, he had no right to come to a court of justice to complain of any imputa tion cast upon him for his conduct in the course of such illegal transaction. By the Act of IS Geo. 11., sec. 11, horse-racing itself was rendered legal, but Acts 16 Car. 11., cap. 2 sec. 3., 9 Anne, cap. 14, sec. 5, and 18 Geo. 11., cap. 34., sec. 8, all decided that bet ting was . illegal. In the case of Shillito and Beale, 7 Bingham, page 405, the Court had held that a horse race was legal, but that to bet on a horse-race was illegal. In this case Mr. Greville betted large sums against the horse ; the gist of the libel was, that it imputed to Mr. Greville dishonourable conduct in withdrawing his horse. Now, there wasnothing disho nourable in withdrawing the horse, and no action would lie for any imputation on him in regard to his conduct, in betting, inasmuch as that was an illegal transaction, and it was the policy of the Court that all persons engaged in illegal transactions should have no locus standi in a Court of Justice, to complain of any mat ters relating to such illegal transactions.—(The Learned Gentleman quoted several cases in support of this position.) With regard to the admission of evi dence as to the withdrawal of a horse, being dis hourable, Lord John Fitzroy, one of the witnesses after stating the rule of the Jockey Club, had been asked by Mr. Thesiger for the plaintiff, whether notwithstanding the rule, he should not consider a person so withdrawing his horse as having acted dishonourably. He (the Solicitor-Ge neral) for the defendant, had objected to the question, but Lord Abinger decided that the question might be put. He (the Solicitor-General) submitted that such evidence ought not have been received. It was for a Jury to form an opinion from the facts deposed to, and witnesses ought only to depose to facts and not to give opinions. The COURT granted a rule to show cause on all the points.—Application granted. SOUTHET V. MARTELL. This was an action brought by a medical practi tioner to recover the amount of his bill. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Williams, at the last as sizes for Cambridge, of which University the defen dant is an under-graduate. At the trial it appeared that the plaintiff was not a licentiate of the Apothe caries' Company. The plaintiff being a :member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and the case being a surgical one, it was contended on his part that the action was maintainable. The bill was for medicines furnished. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 121. Mr. ANDREWES now moved, on behalf of the de fendant, for a rule nisi for a nonsuit or a new trial, on the ground of mis lirection on the part of the Judge, who ought to have left it to the Jury to de cide whether it was a medical or a surgical case, in stead of telling them that it was a surgical case ; and also on the ground that if it were a surgical case, the plaintiff could only recover for work and labour done. That was for his attendances, but he could not recover for any medicines furnished, unless he were an apo thecary. Lora DENMAN—PIease to hand up the bill of particulars. Mr. Andrewes handed up the bill. Lord DENMAN—SureIy these articles, such as in jections and lotions, which I find in this bill, are ex ternal applications, and such as a surgeon has a right to furnish, and for which ke may recover. Mr. Justice Wilmms—The evidence as to the case being a surgical case was that of a medical man named Green, who said "I know plaintiff, he practices here as a surgeon. I have read the bill of particulars; the charges are reasonable ; they are such as would be furnished in a surgical case. I consider venereal cases to be sur gical cases ; they are always considered as surgical cases by the profession. I consider this to have been a surgical case." That was the evidence given as to the case being a surgical case. The COURT refused the rule. STEERS V. REED.—CRIM. CON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover damages from the defendant for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The case was tried before Mr. Justice Cresswell at the last Summer Assizes, and the Jury found for the plaintiff with 1001. damages. Mr. COCKBURN applied to the Court for a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the improperadmission of evidence by the Learned Judge. It was proved at the trial simply that some person other than her husband had on the occasion laid in the action, slept with the plaintiff's wife ; but there was no evidence to prove that the defendant was that person ; but in order to show that the defendant was that person, evidence was tendered to show that at a period sub sequent to the bringing the action, criminal intercourse had taken place between defendant and plaintiff's wife. That evidence was objected to and Mr. Justice Cresswell had expressed some doubt as to its admissibility. Ultimately, however, it had been admitted ; but even that evidence did not quite amount to a proof of criminal intercourse. There was no other proof of the identity of the defendant but that evidence. Under these circumstances he moved for a rule for a new trial. Lord DENMAN asked if there was any evidence to go to the Jury without that. Mr. COCKBURN—I do not mean to contend, my Lord, that there was no evidence to go to the Jury without that. Lord DENMAN—If there had been no evidence to go to the Jury without that, then, perhaps, it ought not to have been admitted ; but clearly if there was other evidence, then that evidence might be admitted with other evidence to go to the Jury. Under the circumstances the evidence was rightly admitted. Application refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 4. TIBBS V. BARON. This was an action for work and labour done, the plaintiff claiming of the defendant the sum of 150/., being for ten months' service, at. 101 per month ; but the general sum of ten pounds, or one month's salary, being only set out in the declaration as the damages claimed. The case was tried in London, at the sit tings after last term, and the Jury found for m the p l a i n tiff; 1501.; but he could not ente r up judgent for a greater sum than was laid in the declaration, without a special rule of Court. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD now applied for a rule to amend the declaration, so as to give the plaintiff the benefit of his verdict, which the Court at once granted. BAIL COURT, Nov. 4. BULL V. PARKER. Mr. BTUs applied to the Court for an extension of time to move in this case ; the motion was for a new trial, and was to be Lade this morning, but the brief in the case, and some others, were stolen, with his outside coat, from his house that morning, and he would not be prepared to move before Monday. Mr. Justice PATTISON—You may be din u ged under the circumstances.—(Laughter.) QUO WARRANTO.—THE QUEEN V. „Talus. Mr. BUTT applied to the Court on behalf of several of the Magistrates of the county of Glamorgan for a quo warranto against Evan Jones, Portreeve of the borough of Neath, for assuming to give a license for an inn and ale-house, called the Cross Keys, to a per son called David Thomas. Th e borough being too small to be included in the provisions of the Munici pal Act, was governed by a Portreeve and Alderman, and burgesses. Thomas applied seven or eight years ago for a license to the Magistrates of the count y, which they refused, an d a similar application, w hic h was made to them on the 2d of September, was also refused, on the g round that the house not wanted, an d was not of such a descrip tion as to ca l on them to gran t A ose-a s ßeens e, The next day they went to Evans, the Portreeve, and to Williams, the Alderman, who were working men, and obtained the license from them. They did not state that the Cross Keys was part of the borough, but only that it was within the parish of Neath. Mr. Justice PATTESON—it would appear that the license is altogether void, for they acted as Magistrates of the county. Mr. BUTT—They assumed that the Cross Keys was within their jurisdiction. Mr. Justice PATTESON—I think the proper course to take would be to apply for a criminal application, properly so called, but you may take . a rule in the first instance. BAILEY V. MEALY. The plaintiff in this case was a chemist residing in Broad-street, Bloomsbury, and the action was brought to recover from the defendant, who is a barrister, the sum of 451. 14s. 4d. It appeared the defendant pur chased the copyright of the Medical Times for 151. from the defendant, on the 6th of October, 1841, and agreed to pay Lid. a number for the back stock, which amounted to the sum claimed. Numbers to the amount of 7 over 7,000 were stated to have been de livered by the plaintiff, but it was denied, on the part of the defendant, that so many were delivered, and that a bill of exchange to the amount of 141., given by the defendant to the plaintiff, together with some other payments, was a sufficient set-off. A wit ness was produced who proved that he took numbers to the amount of several thousands to the defendant, and tickets of their receipt were given in evidence , signed by Mr. Mcltitchie, the p u bli s h er o f t h e M edical Times ; but it was contended on the part of the de fendant that there was collusion between Mr. chic and the plaintiff. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff damages to the amount of 28/. 12s. 3fd. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 4. TINDAL AND ANOTHER V. DELL AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs for injuries done to a vessel of theirs by a collision in the British Channel with a vessel the property of the defendants. The case had been tried before Mr. Jus tice Wightman at the last assizes at Bristol, and a verdict was found for the plaintiffs in the sum of 2551. for the damage they had sustained. Mr. Sergeant liompas now applied for a rule to show cause why this verdict should not be increased by a further sum of 1241. It appeared that after the colli sion theraptain of the plaintiffs' vessel found it necessary to employ a steam-tug to tow her up to Bristol. For this service the master of the tug claimed salvage of 150/. :co this claim the plaintiffs objected as unrea sonable, but of 201., which was more than the usual amount of hiring. The case was brought before the Court of Admiralty, who awarded the proprietor of the steam-tug a salvage of 45/. The legal expenses incurred by the plaintiffs in taking the case before the Admiralty amounted to 124/. ; and this was the sum which the Learned Sergeant sought to have added to that previously awarded by the Jury. The expense thus incurred, he contended, was fairly chargeable on the defendants, as the exorbitant claim of the proprie tor of the steam-tug had been resisted for their bene fit, inasmuch as they would have been chargeable with the amount. The COURT immediately granted the rule. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Nov. 4. IN RE FREDERICK JOSEPH HARRISON. The bankrupt in this case had carried on business as a ship broker in Thames-street. The aggregate amount of debts in his schedule was upwards of 25,0001., and the available assets at present realised by the assignees were about 4,0001. in ready money. Several coupon and other French securities, along with some American debts, comprising chiefly promis sory notes from the house of Sealy and Co., of New York, who had become bankrupt about two years ago, would likewise be made so far available to the estate as to ensure a dividend upon the whole of 10s. in the pound to the creditors. This day being appointed for the bankrupt passing his final examination, he stated that he became pos sessed of the American securities in lieu of goods which were consigned to Mr. Hemlin at New York, who sent back letters of credit upon Messrs. Sealy's consignees in London. Shortly after Sealy's bank ruptcy a dividend was declared, and it was calculated that about 10,000 dollars would be available in a few months. He had proved for the full amount of his debt against that estate. Having answered the usual interrogatories, and sworn to the truth of his accounts, he was declared entitled to pass his final examination. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE LONDON CAOUTCIIOUC COMPANT.—Yesterday Mr. James Morley, of the firm of J. and R. Morley, of No. 18, Wood- street, Cheapside, accompanied by Mr. Bevan, of the Old Jewry, solicitor, and about fifty of the most respectable hosiers from the City and West End, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, to com plain against the London Caoutchouc_ Company. The scene was one of the most extraordinary description. Mr. Morley stated that lie had to complain of the conduct of certain parties, representing themselves to be the " London Caoutchouc Company," and profess ing to sell articles made of India rubber, the interest in three-fourths of which Company he believed to be vested in Mr. William Leaf, of the Old 'Change, in having filed 55 bills in Chancery against the retail hosiers in the metropolis for an alleged infringement of their patent. The articles alleged to be pirated were those into which strips of India-rubber were in troduced, surrounded by thread, and so covered over that it was impossible for any one to discover whether they were or were not similar to the articles manufac tured by the Company. Sir PETER LAURIE said he had acquainted himself with the nature of the article, and inquired whether any one was present in behalf of the factors ? Mr. Warne, the secretary of the Company, and Mr. Wight, of Percy-street, Bedford-street, then pre sented themselves upon the part of the Company. Mr. Leaf, to whom it was stated notice had been sent, was not in attendance. Mr. Morley continued.—The first intimation given to the parties was the service of the writs, in some instances in a very offensive manner, requiring them to appear and answer a bill in Chancery filed by Mr. at l i N o ' n h , en the t y he m, p ,e a r r e tie t s ol a d pp t l i i i e e d y M.

M r . pa asked much larger sums than he eventually consented to take, his principle being apparently to get as much as he could.—(Laughter.) In one in stance he asked 45/. of a respectable tradesman, de claring that less would not pay him, but he was at last satisfied with 15/.—(Laughter.)The great op pression and cruelty in those proceedings on the part of the Company was in selecting as victims the retail dealers, who were struggling for an honest sub sistence, difficult in such times to be obtained, in stead of boldly attacking the manufacturers of the article complained of, who, if any were really liable, must be the parties to answer , an d who could afford to spend 1,000/. if need b e, lad to stop Chancery . proceedings, at the sacrifice of thein contesting . the right. glad to wonder that some of th ese parties should be of such proceedings better acquainted with the nature in' the same manner. sums set forth in the list, when many who were would probably have acted read compromised upon being threatened of the parties who had _ a threatened with Chancery proceedings by Mr. Wight, Sir P.

P.

Warne— Whatever the solicitor to the Com pany gets by these proceedings, not one farthing goes to the Company. Sir P. LAURlE—Certainly, if we may judge from the profits of the solicitor employed to p ro tect the in terests of the Co m p an y, th e Company it se lf must be an admirable one.
