The bankrupt was brought up this morning, in return to , a writ of Habeas Cotpus, from Bristol gaol, upon his applica tion to be discharged felt custody, having been committed by the Commissioners for 'giving unsatisfactory answers to the questions put to him. StroDEN, on behalf of the bankrupt, contended that the warrant of • commitment was had, inasmuch .as it did not show the parts of the examination which were deemed unsatisfactory. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the warrant of commit ment good, and that the bankrupt's answers were unsatisfac tory ; he accordingly refused to discharge him. His Lordship expressed his regret that the bankrupt had not been carried be fore the Judges of Assize, instead of Incurring the expellee of a journey to London. . - IN RE PATETFIORPE, AN INFANT. Mr. AGAH mentioned this case, which was that of a ward of Court, who had eloped and married at Gretna-green. When the matter was mentioned before, his Lordship had recommended that the parties should marry again. He' now inquired whether the second marriage had taken place. Mr. AGAR stated that it was fixed for next Sunday. His LORDSHIP finally directed a reference to the Master to inquire what settlement, under all the circumstances, should be made upon the lady, whose estate consists of freehold property to the amount of 2001. per annum. 1F..11,1,ER CLIFTON. • T R 'EAST INDIA HOUSE, Aeig. 17, 1825 . • 1.1 COURT,.

This was an appeal from the decision of the-Vice-Chancellor, On a petition of the messenger under the Commission issued. against the bankrupts, praying that the solicitor under the com mission might be directed to pay the expences, as the petition ing creditor, Campbell, was, with his cognizance, a pauper when the commission was taken out. _ The matter was fully argued before his Honour, who refused the 14etition. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing the arguments on both sides, which were exceedingly long, was of opinion that the Vice-Chance/lnrs decision was right. His Lordship saw no reason to impute any culpable conduct to Mr. Smith ; and al though suitors had a right to redress from this Court against solicitors, where they had suffered through their improper con duct, yet solicitors themselves must be protected when their conduct, though unwise, did not appear to be blameable. • al the Pipers ordered by the General Court on the 23d 1824, respecting' the Reform in the Administration of ( ' n ernthent of his Excellency thy Nabob Vizier, and the 1 P : "l"ent of British Troops in his Dominions, from the n4r Y 1 903 t o t h e 31st December 1315; a l so re l at i ng to Vi eguci3 tion of t h e several Loans contracte d w i t h th e ,i , betvtzen the mouthy of October 1914 and May 19 15 , )gethet with certain Additions thereto, sine ordered to he the Directorscoo rt of Directors ; will he ready to be deli r".l° the P iuprietors, at this House, on Wednesday, the EX PARTE BAXTER, IN.

Mr. Donziloe's servant •repeatedly• struck the nose of the horse, but for some time without effect. Mr. Donziloe _continued in this dreadful situation nearly a quarter of an hour. Amputation took place below the elbow as Soon as possible, and he is now likely - to do• well. It is remarkable that the horse was in traces at the time.—( Bristol J ottrnal.) The following curious fact occurred this week at the Well-gate. , A person had a favourite hen which was much indisposed, and the poor bird was thought in a dying state. A few days t;nce she picked up a leech, which had accidentally fallen on the floor, and which she swallowed. — She evinced symptoms of great distress while the worm remained in her stomach. In a short time she disgorged it, and is now rid of all ber cone• plaints,' a lusty and thriving heu.—(Dundee Courier.) VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Atra. 17. The VICE-CHANCELLOR delivered several judgments, but the following was the only one - which possessed the slightest interest KILViNGTON V. CRAY. His HONoun said that the, question - In this case was the construction of a will. The testator, after certain limitations of his real estate, directed that his personal estate, consisting of money in the funds, should be expended as soon as possible in the purchase of an estate in the county of York, which would at a fair letting yield three and a half per cent. upon the purchase-money. The money in the funds was to accumulate if an estate could not be purchased under those circumstances. He (the Vice-Chancellor) had entertained great doubts as to the manner.in•Whicii he ought td-clispose of this case. It was obvious thrit the purchase of an estate which should at a fair letting produce three and a half per cent.,' might, owinirso the value of money, never be mark. that case, it must be taken that the testator intended the funded property to accu mulate for ever. He, however, was not disposed to look upon the clause of the will as a condition. but mereley as a direction intended to make the trustees watchful of the interests of the estate. Considering it, therefore; as directory, and not con ditional, he was of opinion that the tenant for life, the peti tioner, was entitled to the, dividends on the funded property from the first year after the testator's death. In conclu sion, his Honour repeated that the case was an extremely doubtful one. ASSIZE IN 'Ef,faIGENCE. BRISTOL, Aua. 16. Mr. Justice LITT LEDALE' arrived here yesterday evening, and having opened thu wtnmission in the usual form, ad journed .the Court till this morning. There are eleven causes (two of them. special juries) on the list. Several of these were referred at the sitting of the Court ; and the whale of the business is expected to be concluded early to-morrow. 9PRING-GUNS.-11IRD.V, MOLDROOX. • Mr. SMITH opened the pleadings. Tie declaration set forth, that on a certain day the defendant put a spring-gun in a certain garden, with certain wires attached to the said spring gun, which.had the effect of discharging it ; and not having given notice that he had placed the spring-gun in his garden, the plaintiff having occasion to go into the said garden, trod on the said wires, which discharged the said'spring-gun, the contents of which were lodged in his leg, whereby he was greatly wounded and injured. There were other counts varying the form of the charge, to all of which the defendant had - pleaded "not guilty." Mr. Sergeant WILLot stated the case. tie said he did not recollect that,- during the course of his professional life, he had ever approached the opening of a case with more anxiety than he did the present. It was connected with every motive and with every feeling that could excite anxiety. He had to ad dress the Jury on a point, most important in its general con sequences, and extremely material in this particular instance, involving considerations requiring much more thought and at tention than he had been able to bestow on them, since last night when he received his brief, on account of other duties connected with these assizes, to which he had to attend—consi derations which, he might add, it was more than probable he would be unequal to do fair justice to at any period, even sup posing the greatest length of time to he alloted to him, and the most ample means of information to be placed within his teach. , They were considerations which did not present them selves to the -minds of a Juryvery frequently ; but they would easily apply the general remarks which lie should make to the opening which they had heard from his Learned Friend, Mr. Smith. The plaintiff / in this case claimed, at the hands of a Jury, remuneration for an injury which he had received by the act of the defendant, who had placed in his garden a spring-gun, of which he had given no notice whatever. At the first view, they would perceive that this was a case of no ordinary de scription. He felt the difficulties which were naturally con nected with this case greatly increased by the recollection that the able, learned, considerate, and, he was equally assured, most humane indges, who presided in our Courts, bad dif-. feral on many points of principle applicable to this case.— Under what circumstances a man should be allowed by law to place an instrument of death in his garden, or in any other place belonging to him, was a question of very grave and se rious interest -=one .upon which they must observe that great difference of opinion existed amongst the Legislators, as well as amongst the most learned Judges of our day. •The latter individuals, anxious on the one side to adhere to the strictest rules - of humanity, and, on the other, to afford due pro tection to property, felt themselves almost unequal to the task of deciding on this question ; and in one case had se parated without coming to a decision at all ; while, in an . other, shrinking from the determination of a most portant princip'e, they had passed their judgment on a single fact which existed in that case, Int which fact had nothing to do with the general question as it appeared at first sight. The Jury were aware that the man who com mitted a trespass was liable, by process of action, to make reparation for that trespass. He would be made to pay so much damages as would allow a fair and just compensation for- the actua pecuniary loss sustained ; or to such an amount as the law would presume the violation of an - admitted right demanded. That amount might be more o r l ess a ccording to the motives or circumstances which accompanied the act: but they were now discussing whether this principle was longer td continue part of the 'law of England ; for if, in this and other cases, a man might punish trespass by the infliction of death, . , , then the ascertai nmen t of d amages .for trespass must sine so low in t n side ra lie scale, tion.i h is a i t Learned r i l e e c d ame F ri a l a o matter ir. s n e a r longer jeant wormy Yell) ably point out to them the necessity, se ring of afrirdieg du e a nd sufficient protection.toproper tY• All that with as s eciety existed, his Learu e d F r i en d cou ld s a y on t hi s w h it - h e would admit the greatest pleasure and satisfacticin ; but when his - Learned Friend had done, he would request of the Jury to recollect that the question was—not whether prooerty shall be duly_ protected, but—whether the infliction of death was a - proper and fit mode to be adopted for the purpose a effecting that objett. This was the case of a garden enclosed 00 one side by a wall of six or seven feet in height, and on. another by a fence ore wall, which presented the same boundary that a liedge did—being no higber.than hedges usually are. The defendant might say, " if I had caught the.lad in my . garden, he would have been only liable to punishment for trespass; if I had taken a pistol, and oposing his entrance, had shot bins, that would have been murder yet I, who would hare been guilty of an illegal act if I had thus proceeded—.(being . responsible both here and hereafter for my conduct in thus , proceeding)—may place in my garden without guard, con troul, or notice, a deadly instrument, which no, one tan ap proach, however innocently, except at the hazard of his life." Two cases had recently occurred, which related more or less to that now under consideration. The one. we: a case where a dcg had been wounded by a spear placed in a wood. The question there was, whether a gentleman might, for the pre servation of game, .place spears in a wood, tei destroy the dogs of any other person trespassing there. After grave and solemn argument, the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas were di vided on-the - question. Two thought' the act legal, and two thought otherwise. The second case approached more near to thipresent. That was the case of a spring-gun set in a wood, which the plaintiff, who was wounded by the gun, had entered to gather nuts. The Court of Kings4.3ench thought that the plaintiff was not entitled to redress, on the ground that the plaintiff had distinct personal notice that there were spring , guns in the wood. The Court said, "We decline considering the general queetion—we fix ourselves on the fact that the plaintiff had due notice , and therefore had voluntarily incurred the mischief." In both these cases, the minds of the Judges shrank from the decision of the great question, which, he rather thought, and hi hoped, would be decided in this case. He rather thought they must now learn " ay" or " no," without any exception, whether a man might prevent trespass by placing in peril of his life every person whd ventured without leave to enter on his grounds. In the present case, the gentleman who chose to protect his karden in this way, did not think it necessary to give notice—not only did he forbear to give notice, but when it was suggested to him that it was fit and proper to give notice, he refused to do so. 'With regret he found, that in the case in the King's Bench to which he had alluded, the Court did not hear counsel on both sides. They heard the Counsel for the plaintiff, and decided that there was no legal grotind to sustain his case. He wished the learn ed 'Judges had adopted a maxim of the Lord Chancellor, who declared that he was always anxious to hear the arguments of those who agreed with ]rim, because when his own opinions came before him, dressed and decked out by another person, he could then discover his own errors and fallacies more readily than if he merely trusted to his own first impressions. He thought, if the learned Judges of the King's Bench had, in the eiercise of their most excellent discretion, heard the argu ments of the gentlemen who were to support the principle on which the defendant's case mainly rested, it was likely that the paucity of reasoning Which would have been manifest in supporting such a doctrine,—the doctrine that human life might be taken away to prevent a damage of 3s. would probably have induced them to decide against so monstrous a proposition. From various causes he felt the highest respect for individual Judges of the Court of King's Bench ; but yielding to them the respect which was their due, still on a question of this na ture he must exercise his own judgment; and he could not help thinking that the reasoning in support of the principle to which he had so often alluded,, was inconclusive, and founded on fallacious views. It was said that spring-guns were not planted for the purpose of producing death, but in the hope that they would keep off offenders; and it was further ob served, that it would be as improper to prevent a man from - putting glass-bottles on his wall as from setting spring-guns. The two cases bore no resemblance to each other. The glass bottles were used to prevent an entrance; the spring-guns to inflict death when-the individual had entered. His Lordship would tell them what the law of the subject was; and if he felt any difficulty in applying it to the present case, his Lordship would be pleased, he hoped, to put it in such a shape as would procure hereafter a satisfactory decision of the great question. This was a case very fit for bringing . the great question into agitation; for it happened that the plamtiff entered the grounds for a most innocent purpose. The facts were shortly thisea— lt happened that a person of the name of Morgan lest. a Pea- • fowl, which flew over several gardens, and at length alighted in that of the defendant. The owner was anxious to recover the fowl, and the plaintiff volunteered to bring it back. He got on the defendant's wall, and called out whe ther there was any person who would drive back the fowl, ,and render his descent unnecessary. Receiving no answer, he jumped down, and received a wound from the discharge of a spring-gun. which had been the cause of much suffering to him, and which., if Providence had not protected him, might have occasioned his death: The Learned Sergeant then pro. seeded to ohsetie, that the defendant, he believed, was in the habit of cultivating flowers. He did not censure him for seek ing to preserve them ; but the questibn was, whether they should be preserved and protected to this extent—whether the defendant, for that purpose, should be allowed to set a spring gun in a garden not connected with his dwelling-house, but, on the contrary, at a considerable distance from it? Surely it was not the law of England to prevent every petty injury by placing perions in peril of their lives ? If that were indeed our system, then it must soon become a system of blood. if the laws were not sufficiently severe for the preservation of property, there was a Parliament annually sitting which was competent to the alteration of the law, and the making it more effective; but lie could not agree that every man shoUld have a right to form a law for himself, and to take steps which were likely to create injuries infinitely outweighing any mischief that he could ap prehend from a trespass. Mr. Justice LITT LEDALE inquired whether the Learned Counsel on the other side was prepared to take a verdict, and to allow the facts to be formed into a case, for ultimate decision in the Courts above? Mr. Sergeant DELL answered, that he was ready to agree to certain facts, and to allow a verdict to be taken for, and subject to the decision of a special case. This was ufidoubtedly a question of very great importance. There was not any case that he was aware of f which went. directly to the points now under consideration, therefore it was desirable that it should assume the shape of a case. He could assure his Lordship and the Gentlemen of the Jury, that the defendant felt nothing. but the deepest regret on this occasion ; and if he were found liable in. point of law, he would most cheerfully bow to the decision. Evidence were then called to the following facts:— Mary Collins proved, that Bird, the plaintiff, got into the defendant's garden to secure a fowl belonging to her master, Mr. Chargan. Thomas Llewellyn proved that -the' defendant told him he had a spring-gun in his garden. Witness advised him to give notice of the fact, which defendant declined. John Gill also proved that he advised the defendant to'put up a notice, without, however, stating , his opinion as a lawyer, on his right to use a spring-gun. Defendant did not put up a notice. Defendant told him to say nothing about the spring-gun. . • Mr. Sergeant WILnE stated, that the boy's injuries occasion ed him to be confined for six weeks. Croker proved, that he saw the plaintiff on defendant's wall, and heard him call out before he descended. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages :M., subject to a special case, with liberty to, enter a verdict for the defendant, should the decision on the case be against the plaintiff. The-facts agreed to, and on which the case is founded, are -Ist, that the plaintiff entered the garden innocently ' • 2d, that the defendant had 'a spring-gun there; 3d, that the defendant gave no notice of having the gun there; 4th, that he endea voured to conceal it; and tith, that the plaintiff was wounded. LANCASTER, MONDAY, AUG. 15. fir. JrIStICC BAYLEY and Mr. Baron HuLtocit arrived at this place this evening, and immediately opened the commission with the usual formalities.

The affairs - of the Greeks and: the general hopes of mankind, that they will be able to eitia“ ci pate themselves from the tyranny of the Tut ksi render every publication 'that relates to their glorious cause and their country highly interesting Co the civilized world. .This memoir is addressed to his Excellency Lieut.-General Sir FREDiRICIC ADAM, G. C. 8., Lord High Commissioner of the, lonian Island. Cephalonia is So large, and might be rendered so • important an Island, that ties tract is peculiarly acceptable at the present - period. Co!. NAPIER has evidently, bestowed great 'attention •on the subject of this valuable little Work.. He points out the vast advantages that would, result:front •the introduction of con "venient roads throughout the Island, in, order; to promote a connexion among the inhabitants %clic) occupy its more distant parts, and to diffilse knowledge among the: whole: For this pur pose he has been indefatigable .in his researches, and he speaks highly of Lieutenant KENI4EDY i who accompanied him .in many oppressive 'jour neys over • the mountains. • He refers to the market-place of Lixori,"• and other public works,. to prove the Lieutenant's talents as 'an En4l - The Work 'is divided into fifteen sec lions, all of which are of ititpottanee to the im-; provement of the Island ; and the Author has been laudably attentive to the health of the troops who may - be employed on that station, ' There are some Lithographic Prints; representing the Fortress of Asso, Sketch of the Island. of Ce phalonia, Views of the Harbour, &c. &c. Ex= tracts from Livy add Polybius Are properly troduced, relative to the invasions of Cephalonia by Fulvius and .Philip of Macedon. A. copious Appendix contains tile State of the thermometer at Argostoti, fro.n April, 1822, to March, 1824; and Statistical Tables of Cephalonia, comprising an account of the arts; trades, &c. &c. of the Island. The improvemehta suggested by the Author will doubtless be carried into active Operation when the great cause of the Greeks shall, as we hope it will, terminate in their inde pendence, and will then raise the Island high lit the scale of commercial, if not of political, itri portance. PEACE SOCIETIES. (From The A fr%d, an Exeter Payer.) A Society was established i■ Exeter on the 21st ult., as an auxiliary of the 44 London Peace Society." The national advantages which result from the preservation of peace are so incalculably great, that we are pleased to observe any rational endeavours which are made to promote it ; and we therefore present our readers with the followin4 Address of the Vommittee:--- " This Society, in announcing its establishmtfit as an Aux iliary of the London " Society for the Promotion' of.Pernia nent and Universal Peace," solicits the attention of the public to the great objects of that institution. They are simply these : to call the attention of Christians to the real nature of war ; to• diffuse information respecting its horrors and its enormities I to illustrate its inexpediency • and above all, to prove its total inconsistency with the Christian s religion. It is not, per. haps, generally known in this neighbourhood, that such a Society has existed in the Metropolis since the year IBl6—that, about the time of its formation, a similar Society was establish ed in the United States of America, (each, however, b e i ng then unkovin to the other), gild that both -have progressively extended their influence, and been assisted by numerous Auxiliaries. " In the prosecution of its objects, the London Pear! So ciety prints and circulates tracts, and keeps up a correspond ence with its branches and Foreign ,Societies. It also circulates a qUarterly pUblication, entitled The Herald of Peace, which is the general medium for communicating information re specting the progress of the pacific cause. "A number of persons in this city and neighbourhood, feel ing desirous of promoting this great and Christian work, nave associated themselves as an autiliary of the Parent Society ; and they beg leave, in this manner, to invite the attention , of the public to the cause in which they are engaged. The Peace Society is in no way connected' with religious creeds.or with political parties': it stands upon the broad ground of Christian philanthropy: it espouses the cause of humanity against inhu manity—of gentleness and forbearance against outrage and 3/faience—of religion against a system which IS its reproach and its shame. ' That this cause will et.enttially be successful, there Can be no , reasonable doubt. The reiterated declarations >of Scripture sufficiently assure us, that the time will come when nations will learn of war no more. But there is'another ground' of hope and confidence, jri the progress which pacific princi ples are actually making in the world. It is little more than nine years since the London Peace Society was established ; and since dint period, nearly fifty auxilial and corresponding societies have sprung up in various parts of the kingdom. it is not, however, individuals and benevolent associations only, but nations also, who have, in a degree, enlisted themselves in the cause of peace. The recourse which has recently been had . by our country to arbitration .rather than to the sword, in the settlement of a dispule with America, and the endeavour which has been .made by America to abolish, in the event'd future contest, the praCtice of maritime war on . private Pro• perty, open prospects, of no ordinary kind. The confidente, therefore, of the advocates of peace is founded, not only upon the testimony of Scripture, but upon the 'evidence of fact;' and they are fully assured that the indications which they row see of the approach-(however distant) of universal peace will not be illusive, but that they will progressively increase until that day when violence shall be no more heard in the. earth, nor wasting nor destruction within its borders. " Such are the objects, and such the hopes, of the Exeter Peace Society. In this city and neighbOurhood, as in 'many other places, the number is evidently increasing of thoie who perceive the incompatibility of war with our religion, and who are desirous of lending their assistance towards its total ex tinction. For the exercise of this Christian benevolence, the Exeter Peace Societroffers an efficient meant. A subsaipiron of 10s. 6d., or even of ss. per annum, will entitle the contributor to a supply of the Parent Society's publications ; and it is con fidently believed that' this opportunity will not 'be offered in vain when it is considered that each, of these publications may produce a conviction of the unlawfulness of war, and ti PIS be pre= paring the way for the eventual triumph of the Prince of Peace." AMERICAN' POST OFNICES.—Since the 15t .. .0r January last (says the New York National Journal) no less than 276 new post-offices have been established. Indepen dently of this addition, one of the great western mails, fortnerly transported but three times a Auk, has been made a daily mail ; and other arrangements, •equally valuable, have' been made to • facilieate the arrivals and departures :of the thailiti other sections of the. Union. Yet, notwithstanding these ad ditions,to the annual expendittires, the revenue of the post office department; .which has for some years past been inade quate to the expenditures, will this.year, we understand, in consequence of the new mode of business, introduced by the present Post-master-General, be fully equal to the expenses, and will probably somewhat exceed therp.
