rill ivit SUN, LON 1)014 1 Til URSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1344. rnost absurd crotchet that Bier entered the brain of a politician—rsetse even than Repeal, which is a question ' that is at any rate intelligible, however pregnant with mischief it may be. The lion. and Learned Gen tleman did not omit the opportunity of having a hard hit or two at both Whigs and Tories. It is evident that he is passionately enamunred of neither of these decaying parties, but he did the Tories no more than justice when he averred that they were a thou sand times worse than their rivals, and had inflicted a world of mischief on the community by their dogged perseverance in the system of class-legisla tion. in the course of his speech, alluding cursorily to some recent attacks made on him by the French press, Mr. O'CONNELL launched out into a caustic tirade against M. TMIERS and Louts PuturrE, nei ther of whom he appears to regard with more affection than Satan is said to exhibitror holy water. Of the former he remarked :—" THIERg was out of power, and " was not likely to get in again. In his History he gave an account of the massacres of September, when fifteen bishops and archbishops, and nearly three hundred priests were massacred in the streets of Paris ; but he related the e 'ent with all the gentle flippancy of an ordinary occurrence." Mr. O'CossELL does the his torian great injustice :by this remark. So far from showing any " gentle flippancy," when giving the particulars of the massacres in question, M. THIERS speaks of them with a very commendable feeling of disgust and horror, and closes his chapter with an expression of astonishment that such atrocities should have been conceived and executed in the enlightened eighteenth century. As for Mr. O'CONNELL'S dislike of Louts PrisurrE, this may be accounted for without any great difficulty. That astute and sagacious monarch is opposing to the utmost of his power the unwarrantable pretensions of the French clergy in the important question of na tional education. They are anxious, for reasons that may be easily divined, to get the whole matter into their hands, while Louis PHILIPPE, well aware of the extent of public mischief that would ensue were they to succeed in their attempts at monopolising the edu. cation of the people, is determined that they shall ex ercise no more than a just and limited authority on the question. hence Mr. O'CONNELL'S taunt that he is "scheming to give education into the hands of in fidelity"—a sneer as unfounded as it is uncharitable. A Morning Contemporary, in a recent article, has somewhat enlightened the public mind with regard to the judicial economies of one of the most mys ' terious localities in London. But although he gave the genealogical synopsis of the " jimily relations" established there, in high places, with perfect fidelity, he might have gone yet further. He might have de n►onstrated after what manner the existence Of the most extraordinary " family compact " which ever negotiated for, and contrived to retain, through a long succession of years, a snug monopoly of lucra tive or influential offices, in one kindred and lineage, must have been calculated to operate upon one out of every two parties to any cause or proceeding tried or authenticated before them. We propose to supply this omission for the amusement of our readers in particular, and for the general information of the public, who are really interested in the question which the Morning Chronicle has so properly brought under its notice—namely, " Who will be nominated the successor to the office of her Majesty's Proctor in the Courts Spiritual and Maritime ?" vacant by the death of the late ILTID NIcHoLL, Esq., who had filled that appointment (certainly in a most upright and able manner) for a very long period. It appears, from our Contemporary's statement, that the Right Hon. JOHN Nicriorle, M.P., has given in, at the request of Government, a sort of list of qualified candidates for this important post, in order to guide the selection to be made by her Ma. jesty's Ministers. It further appears, that by a "re markable coincidence"—as the police reports have it —all these qualified candidates are cousins, sons, sons-in-law, nephews, or other near relations of the presiding authority in the Spiritual Courts—the Right Hon. and Learned certifies of their merits— her Majesty's Judge Advocate-General, Dr. JOHN NlcUoLL—being, himself, the son of the late, and the nephew of the present Judge of the Arches, and Official Principal to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. Dr. Nienoei. himself, moreover, though standing on a College of twenty-six Doctors of Law—including the Judge of the Admiralty, Arches, Prerogative, and Consistory Courts —only twelfth in point of seniority, reckoned by dates of respective admission, is Vicar-General of the Archbishop, and in virtue of that office the great dispenser of marriage licenses, and the immediate authority under whose instru ments the inductions to benefices, &c., within the diocese of Canterbury are made out. Dr. NICHOLL is one of those truly marvellous men, of whom it is significantly said " that their fathers were born before them," for he succeeded to the immense money fortune, the family patronage, and even the Tory in fluence, it should seem, of the late Right Hon. Sir JOHN NICHOLL, Knt., Judge of the Arches, Pre rogative, and (for some time) of the High Court of Admiralty, too ! The late Sir Joni was reckoned a tolerably sound civilian i but he was a man who, as the contemporary—and the colleague, it may be almost said.—of the great Sir IVILLIAN SCOTT, after wards Lord STowneL, would have been overshadowed and obscured had he possessed ten times the talent or ability which he ever manifested in sustaining the proximity of so overwhelming as rival in the same career of judicial eminence. The late Lord ELLEN BOROUGH was once 25ked his opinion of Sir JO/IN's capacity and " means" for discharging the responsible duties of the tribune, to which he had then baesi lately appointed. " I dare say," replied the petulant but sagacious Chief Justice, " the man has assets." We may have formed the same estimate of the prac tical scope of the Right Hon. Judge Advocate's powers ; but he is Judge Advocate, and he is Vicar General, and he is M.P. fur Cardiff. Before con sidering the list of names to which we are referring, it is necessary to premise, for their information who , _.....,. may not be awar e o f th e f act, t h at from the various .

It is true that the Right Ire iourable JOHN te noels, M,P., having a t'incesure of delicate but compact proportions his office of` Vicar General, and a post o/ high distinction and emolument in his charge of Judge Advocate-General to her Majesty's Forces, dues no longer practise in these Courts. But it it surely possible that the mantle of his patronage ,and connexion may have fallen to Dr. HERBERT JENNER, Treasurer to the College, or even on his still nearer kiusman, Dr. H. I. Nlcifous Imagine a suitor's surprise who, having retained iu a cause in the Con sistory Court of London some eminent civilian, say Dr. PHILLIMORE against Dr. NICHOLL, and appealed from the sentence of Sir S. LUBIIINGTON to the Superior Court of Arches, Mere finds Dr. IL I. NICIIOLL associated with Dr. H. JENNER as counsel against him, the opposite Proctor being Mr. E F. JENNER, or one other of the kaleidascopic cousins— (yeu cannot turn the list without throwing fresh combinations of NICHOLL-JRNNERS or JENNEK. NICHOLLS) say Mr. J. NICHOLL, or Mr. J. I. Nicuom i or Mr. F. H. DYKE—and the Judge— their common "Pater Anchises"---Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST ? Perhaps, warned by experience, or, as they say in these Courts, ex abundante eautela , the unhappy litigant flies to a Mr. W. Fox, jun.—he, too, is a son-in-law; or to a Mr. CHARLES DTNELEY? He is a nephew ! By the bye, this gentleman is some thing more. In the courts and offices of Doctors'-com mons, the great principle is a venerable abuse : the end less one of representation by deputy. Thus. The last Archbishop of CANTERBURY was so lucky that, pend ing his lifetime, he procured the reversion, we believe, of the lucrative sinecure of Registrar of the Faculty Court for the Hon. I. H. T. MANNERS SUTTON, one of his grandsons. This gentleman (a son of Viscount CANTERBURY) pockets the fees which remain to him, after paying " two Deputies," P. C. Moon's Esq., and a Mr. J. SHARPE. The predecessor of Arch bishop SUTTON, a luckier Primate still, the late Dr. MOORE, gave the very rich patent sinecure appoint- Ments of Registrars to the Prerogative Court to two of his reverend kinsmen, the Rev. G. Mooen, and the Rev. R. MOORS. They, like your true "fine old English gentlemen, all of the olden time," have consistently abstained from doing any duty as " Registrars," beyond that of drawing a noble income of some thousands a year apiece. The Rev. GEORGE and the Rev. ROBERT appoint three " Deputies," whose offices are at present filled by— (l.) Mr. CHARLES DYNELEY.....(iterUnt Crispine ; (2.) Mr. JOHN IGGULDEN ; (3.) Mr. W. F. GOSLING. ['hey do a considerable amount of work, and are fiery handsomely paid by f ees f or th e i r l a b our ; b ut tiley have again their several " Deputies," under he appellation *f Clerks of the Seats. Each of these clerks has a certain district of country appro priated to him, and prepares and makes out the va eious powers and other instruments to give effect and salidity to probates of wills and letters of administra tion, in respect of personal property within the seve ral dioceses and the province of Canterbury. In their collective capacity, these gentlemen, the Clerks of Seat, really advise, from their greater experience, the Deputy Registrars in all cases of doubt or diffi culty, the principal of those Deputies being little dis tinguished from his two colleagues, except by a 'greater assumption of authority, as we have heard, and a greater fondness for playing " Triton among the minnows" whenever an unfortunate clerk or a lowly-minded Proctor happens to disturb his equa nimity, or to challenge his hauteur. Now let us sup pose the case of a Proctor having a sharp battle with his Deputy Registrar, in his office of registry, on some disputed point of practice—the Proctor relying, perkaps, on the advice of some one among the many Ad and intelligent clerks of practitioners, or in .he public office, the Will-office (and of these there are very many, highly respectable, but miser ably underpaid, as the Registrars and their Deputies are largely overpaid). The Deputy Registrar is ob stinate, and on the Proctor's announcing his intention to carry the matter before the Court for its opinion, is not always very civil. Perhaps the Court itself may have forgotten the practice on the particular case. It then appeals to its Registrar sitting beneath him. Who is he ? Perhaps his nephew. But which ne phew, where there are so many nepotes a-field ? Mr. DYNBLET, himself a Proetor, himself a chief officer of the Court, and in both capacities already nettled, we will imagine, at having had his opinion disputed. What is the antagonist Proctor's chance of carrying the Court with him ? But we have spoken of Depu ties to the Registrar of Faculties, the Registrars of the Prerogative Court, &c. We must not omit Dr. LUSHINGTON'S (Consistory) Court; the Registrar, the Rev. R. WATSON, having for Deputy, JOHN SHEP HARD, Esq. ; nor the Vicar General's office, whose Re gistrar, one (more) Joust MOORE, Esq., bath, for Deputy, F. H. Drill', Esq., who has already ap peared as son-in-law of the Judge, and as a Proctor; and who re-appears as the able managing partner in the great house of " JEISNEst , Been, and Dram." Surely, in these times, the Government will see reason not to appoint to be the new Queen's Proctor any one of these multiplied relations of the Judge ; his two sons-in-law, his nephews, &c. ; nei ther Mr. Haar DYKE, nor Mr. CHARLES DYNE.* LEY, nor either of the two Messrs. neuoie, nor Mr. Fox, jun. Among the Proctors there can be no dif ficulty in finding more than three able men, every way fitted, by long practical experience, professional know ledge and sagacity, character, courtesy, and industry, for so high an office. The bar and the profession of Doctors'-commons must be relieved from the into lerable incubus of any further creatures in the Jen nerian-Nichull College. The compact has worked well enough, :surely, for an extensive family ; and the public interest requires that the seals be now broken. The Moostals have had a long hand of registrarship, the NICHOLLS of forensic and judicial patronage. Let the best qualified civilians have a fair field and no favour. The presence of the latter has denied them the former. Let the best qualified practitioner be Queen's Proctor—not the nearest family connexion. and 25 at 60 days; the Five p er Ce n t s . a t 101 1 a t 60 ! days ; the floating debt at 65 at 69 days ; and the debt without interest at 61 at 60 days. The Jcurnol des Debate has another long article on the compa'ati , '"6 nat,srits cf a canal and railroad across the Isthmus of Suez, and adheres to its former opinion in giving a decided preference to the latter, fur a variety of reasons. It infers that a railroad could only benefit the English by expediting their communication with India, and would be of little use to the rest of the world, whereas a canal would unite the two seas, give employment to a vast number of merchantmen, and increase the trade of all nations. With a strange jealousy of this country—not at all commonly displayed by that Government journal—it tells its readers that the great anxiety displayed by English writers for a railway must " conceal other designs." What designs has England to con ceal ? All she wants is a quick and safe passage across the Isthmus, which shall be open to all the world. A canal, even if it could be constructed at a moderate expense, which is impossible, would not serve that purpose, and the mail would to a certainty be as long delayed as it is by the present mode of conveyance. As the arguments adduced are probably those of the French Government, we give them at length, premising at the same time that they have no foundation to rest upon, if we except the opinions of certain French writers, and assumptions respecting the cost of a canal, which are mere moonshine. After some remarks on the opinions expressed by the London press, the writer this proceeds :—" The canal across the desert is so far from being impossible that it has already existed, according to a route which is in part identical with that now recommended. The most undeniable monuments of antiquity prove our asser tion. Without going back to HBRODOTUS, or even to STRABO and PIANY, who themselves beheld this canal, and have given a description of it ; without quoting MARRYSI, and other Arab writers who have related how AsaBON, after having conquered Egypt, had re stored, under the name of the Canal of the Prince of the Believers, the King's Canal of the time of the Pharoahs, and the River Trajan of the time of the Emperor ADRIAN, we do not want in Europe, and even in France, witnesses who proved its existence at the period of the glorious expedition of 1798. The General-in-Chief, BONAFARTE, would not leave to any person the task of examining the remains of the work in question. He went there himself, and had no difficulty in discovering them, for they are very apparent. One of the engineers attached to the ex pedition, M. La PERE, was ordered to survey the ground, and send in a plan of restora tion, fulfilling the double condition of directly uaiting, Suez to Thyneh, and of joining the Nile near Cairo. He performed this duty with zeal, and his paper, drawn up very circumstantially, forms part of the immortal publication due to the In stitute of Egypt. In -the same way was also pub lished the report drawn up by the illustrious FRONT to the Council-General of the Ponta et Chaussees on this paper. It results from both, that the maritime canal from Suez to Thyneh, with a branch to Cairo, is not only practicable, but exceedingly easy of exe cution. From one end to the other the ground is levelled in surprising manner, and the sandy nature of the soil wou ld ren d er th e cu tti n g not at all difficult. There is even reason f o r supposing that the movi ng sands of the Desert would oppose only a feeble ob stacle to the work being kept constantly in good repair. M. LE PanE estimated the expense at 17 mil lions of francs. All the French writers who have touched on this subject in the journals, or in works of repute, such as that of CLOT BET, and the travels of Marshal MAEMONT, have declared in favour of a canal rather than of a railway, which must go from Cairo to Suez. They agree in saying that the railroad would change the present state of things but little ; would be difficult to keep in working order, because a little sand is sufficient to stop the circulation on a railroad, whereas a large quantity is required to im pede the navigation of a canal ; that a railroad would be easily destroyed by the Arabs, for an iron bar, like a rail, an object likely to tempt them, could be torn off in a second ; that a canal, on the contrary, cannot be easily filled up with the quantity of sand brought by the hand of man, and presents nothing which is worth carrying away ; that the circulation on the railroad would consist of nothing but the mails, and 3,000 or 4,000 passengers, so that the receipts would be exceedingly low ; whereas a canal might hope to have nearly the above number of vessels, of 400 tons, on an average. The canal, in fine, is a work of the greatest importance and interest to all civilisation, which would change the face of the general commerce of the world, provided it be made a neutral passage, accessilsle to all. The public opinion in France has been turned to this point, and will continue to give it all its attention, in virtue of the inclination of the French mind to mix itself up in all matters relating to the general interests of civilisation." The article concludes with the following remarks, which certainly do not give additional force to the arguments : "It is not a miserable feeling of Anglophobia which makes the French press unanimous in favour of a canal direct from Suez to Thyneh, in preference to the railway projected by Mr. Waghorn from Cairo to Suez. Their unanimity on this occasion is the effect of one of the most noble attributes which do honour to the French character. How can it be believed, in fact, that it is ani mosity to Great Britain that makes us give the prefe rence to a communication from which England will de rive the greatest advantages? And if anything could give consistence to the reports, which we believe to be false, but according to which the project of a railway conceals other designs, it would be that the organs of opinion the most accredi te d an d t h e best informed ipbnu Great iic Britain, force themselves, on the subject of the comparison of the canal or railway across the Isth mus of Suez, to give the preference to the railway." The accounts from Spain in these papers are very imperfect respecting the movements of ZURBANO, though it is admitted by parties opposed to the revolt, that it is more important than at first it appeared. CHRISTINA'S journal thus adverts to is : " It appears certain that the revolt of Zurbano is of a more serious character than was at first supposed. All the disposable troops of the Basque provinces and Old Castillo have been sent uselessly in pursuit. The Mili • tary Commandant of the Bastan has directed upon Le camberri a battalion which was at Tolosa. A battalion of Leon has made a similar movement on the side of Alzagua, and a detachment of cavalry and two com panies of infantry are on the roads leading to the valley of the Borunda. The Commandant-General of Logrono, the Captain-General of Burgos, in fact, all the military authorities, aro in motion. Whatever superiority his knowledge of the country may give Zurbano over his ad versaries, it is impossible that so great a display of force and so considerable a number of flying columns, can have no other object than the pursuit and arrest of a band of nine men." The Bayonne correspondent of the National, in a letter dated Nov. 22, says— " What I gave yesterday as doubtful is confirmed to day by several letters that have reached me, The in• surrection looks threatenit l i, in every direction, and I learn that throughout the province of Lerida, as well as in its capital, the movement is ready to burst forth. Two other letters, just arrived, state that the whole of Anda lusia is in a state of fermentation. The last accounts from Galicia also state that tho pronunciamentos of two of its most important towns were hourly expected." The same journal that so long cheered Mr. °VON' NBLL on in the cry for repeal, now turns round upon him as if he had betrayed the liberties of his country . The writer unwittingly has let out the cloven foot. Mr. O'Corennm. is a man of peace—he will not go to war with England to gratify the Radicals of France— he will not shed a drop of Irish blood, and therefor e he is thus sc o ff e d at b y the Nat i ona l " Pursuing the course of his sentimental promenades through Ireland, he arrived on the 20th at Limerick.

Three or four thousand peasants having assembled under the windows of the hotel at which he stopped, the great agitator hastened to address to them one of those incom mensurably anodyne harangues of which he is so prodigal, taking care, as usual, to speak a great deal about him self.

The heir to the throne, who is called Sultan MURAD, has just entered his fifth year. SIEEKI R EFFENDI had been appointed Foreign Minister. The accounts from Alexandria of the 6th merely state that MEHEMET ALI was in. perfect health, and that Mr. TODD, acting-consul of the ~linited States, has been confirmed by hie Government in the post of consul. Mr. BOCRNE is still at Alexandria, but had made no progress in A ffeeting n post-office treaty with the PACHA.

On t 7 oe previons day, being the Qua N's fete, deputation? from the two Chambers waited on her MAJESTY', tand presented their con gratulations.

According to him, the liberty of Ireland is not worth the shedding of a single drop of blood. In the meantirile oppression continues to entail misery on the Irish, and hung cr the English market decimates their ranks. All this, however, little moves the pacific agitator. O'Connell is certainly a great philanthropist, and although a Roman Catholic and the pupil of the Jesuits of St. Omer, the English Methodist Societies ought to look upon him favourably." The COMMON-SEAGZINT said it was most essential in this case, in which was displayed so much depravity, that a severe example should be made of the offeider, for the protection of the public and the general cause of mo rality. In the eyes of the Court, independent of the robbery, nothing could be more deserving of the severest punishment than to entice a child of tender age from the protection of its parent ; and the sentence of the Court, therefore, was, that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for seven years. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Sarah Williams and -Emma Weiss, well-dressed young women, were charged as follows Police-constable 36 of the A division stated that, be tween seven and eight o'clock last evening, as he was on duty in Hyde Park, he saw the prisoners accost, and forcibly detain, several gentlemen. Mr. HA.R.DIVICX—Do you know the prisoners ? Con stable—Yes, they are common women. Nearly a hun dred women of their description infest the parks nightly, ostensibly to beg, or for other purposes. They are generally accompanial by men, who wait at a distance off, and, when a robbery is effected, they either convey away the stolen property, or brutally mal treat the party. Several robberies have been committed during the last week, and they have a regular organised plan of committing them—boys, mere children, being posted at certain distances off, to warn them of the approach of the police. Mr. Ila.enwirk.—l understand that persons are ac tually afraid to pass through the Park after night-fall. I am therefore determined to put a stop to its being the resort of the lowest grade of prostitutes and thieves. especially order that the police use the utmost vigilance in apprehending such characters. I commit the pri soners for one month each to Westminster Bridewell, to hard labour. The convictions shall be returned to the Sessions, and ever after it shall be three months. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY). OLD OFFENDERS. —Margaret Haggerty and M.ry Healy were charged with begging in Cavendish-square, and with attempting to pick a gentleman's pocket. A policeman in private clothes said he saw the defend ants begging of ladies and gentlemen in Portman-square. Knowing them to be old offenders, he felt it his duty to watch them. They left Portman square and went into Oxford-street, where he lost sight of them. Aftqrwards, about ten o'cloek, he met them in Mortimer-street, fol lowing a gentleman. After Haggerty had followed him some distance the drew back a few paces, and he dis tinctly saw her lift up his coat tail and put her hand into his pocket several times. He took them into custody. Haggerty had been convicted five times of begging. Healy had also been convicted. The defendants denied that they were begging, or that they intended to rob the gentleman, and they were com mitted for a month. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA- GISTRATES.-(THIS DAY.) This being what is termed "county day," or the day appointed for the transaction of the financial and other business of the county of Middlesex, a most numerous meeting of the magistrates was held, at twelve o'clock, in the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green, Devon, Esq., in the chair. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace having read the mi nutes of the last meeting, the Court proceeded with the consideration of the appointment of nine district sur veyors, according to the provisions of the new Metro politan Buildings Act, and by which it was provided that no person at all acting as a builder, land. agent, or other person connected with the building department in any manner whatsoever should be appointed. Capt. Bague and Mr. Orme were unanimously elected as scrutineers in the election of district surveyors. lIA.NWELL LUNATIC ASYLUM. On the motion of IL PowNALL, Esq., the Committee of this Asylum, appointed in August last, were empowered to purchase 24 acres 2 roods of land, immediately adjoin ing Hanwell Lunatic 'Asylum, for the purpose of en larging the building, and thus abolishing the necessity of farming out the pauper lunatics, as the various pa rishes were now obliged to do, and, in consequence of which the unfortunate patients were often ill-treated. The sum which the Committee were empowered to pay for this land v. - As 6,000/. The Court then I ;_roeeeded to review the reports of the Visiting Justices of IL e several metropolitan prisons, from which it appeared that all the prisoners were healthy, and that the utmost order and subordination prevailed.

EXTSIAORDINARY SUDDEN DEATHS OF THE EDITORS OF THE " NORFOLK CHRONICLE" AND " Nott wick MERCURY."----In the obituary of the last week's papers ltt Norwich the death of Mr. David Irwin was announced. This gentleman had for upwards of forty years filled a confidential situation in the office of the Conservative newspaper, the Norfolk Chronicle. His death was peculiarly sudden, and, from his high cha racter, was the theme of general conversation for several days. On Sunday last, only five days after his death, great was the astonishment, and deep was the regret, at the announcement of the equally sudden death of Jonathan Matchett, Esq., the senior partner and editor of the same paper, which capacity that gentleman had filled upwards of half a century. On Wednesday morning still greater was the astordshment, and deeper the regret, at another awful visitation in the nearly as sudden death of R. M. Bacon, Esq., the senior partner and editor of the Liberal paper the Norwich Mercury, who had been un well for the last few weeks, but not to such an extent as to cause any alarm to his family. These sad and mournful events have cast a melancholy gloom over all the parties in the town ; for in truth may it be said that no three gentlemen could be found who lived more universally respected, or died more deservedly lamented. Norwich will never look upon their like again, for in their res pective capacities, as editors, none shone more than them, nor in private life were none more esteemed.— From a Correspondent.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.`, (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Common Jury.) GARDNER V. MAJOR. _ - The plaintiff in this case is a butcher, carrying on business in Portland-market, and the defendant is pro prietor of the market. The plaintiff rented a shed as stable of defendant, at a weekly rent of 35., and on the 6th of January, this year, a portion of the shed was pulled down, and the demolition of it was completed on Wednesday, the 9th, the defendant's term not ex piring until the Saturday fbllowing. To recover damages for this trespass the present action had been brought, to which defendant pleaded not guilty. The whole ques tion, therefore, for the jury to decide was, had the demo lition taken place in consequence of the defendant's orders. There was a great deal of conflicting testimony, and the jury ultimately found for the plaintiff--damages, One Farthing. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) CADERIX V. LITTLE. The plaintiffis the occupier of a house in the Hackney road, of which he holds the benficial lease, The houses in the road, of which his forms a part, have gardens in front of them. But the defendant, who is a timber mer chant, having taken the premises adjoining the plaintiff's, converted the front garden into a timber-yard,;and so piled up the timber, as to shut out altogether from the plaintiff's windows the lateral view, in one direction, which was before enjoyed from them. This action was brought to recover damages for the deterioration of the property by this interruption of the view, and for the obstruction of light and air. The defence was that there bad bees no injury to the property, and no obstruction of light and air. The evidence was lengthened and extraordi nary, the plaintiff's witnesses maintaining that the pro perty was materially injured, and the defendant's as positively averring the contrary. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Pries. before the LORD CUM' BARON, and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY - GENERAL V.

The Court opened this morning :pro _forma, at the usual hour, but owing to the severe indisposition of Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, who was unable to attend, it was in consequence ordered to stand adjourned till the next Court day. CRIMINAL COTTRT,-(THIS DAY.) OLD CO (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &C.) Timothy Conner, a labourer, aged 29, was inciic:: 4l for a rape on Ann Bolen. The offence was prayed, and the prisoner sentenced to transportation for life. The prisoner struck the front of the dock, and ex claimed with great vehemence----" All I can say agin it is, that I'm as innocent as that board." NE W COURT G itogs bEPRAV/tr /At A SERVAST. —Ann AP CormicA: aged 23, was indicted upon two separate indictments, the first changing her with s t e ali n g one sovere i gn, the pro - Party Lean Aarons, and the second with unlawfully, frs,tticl- enticing away Julia Silva, aged about ten, and under eleven years, with intent to deprive the parents of the 14%4111 care of such child, The case disclosed as disgusting anti gross a case of villany tin the pin of the prisoner as could well be ima gined, there being no doubt that the poor child was taken away for the most horrible purposes. It appeared by the eVidenee, which has already ap peared at great length in our police reports, that the pri. I goner was In the service of the child's father, Mr. Silva, and Leah Aarons was her fellow-servant, in whose box Was placed a sovereign and some silver, the former of which the prisoner stole by breaking the lock. No doubt could be entertained but the object she had in view in taking the money was to promote, more suc cess f u lly, h er tbomioable designs upon the child Julia Silva, whom she induceil the next day to go out for a walk, when, after buying her some cakes and other trifling things, she placed her in a cab and and caused her to be driven to Charles -court, in the Strand, a locality well known as the resort of the most profligate and infamous characters. The poor child re mained there some time in one of the common brothels in that court, when she found an opportunity of writing privately- to inform her sister, who at once came, and for tunately took her away before she was subjected to any ill-usage. Evidence was gone into at great length to establish the preceding facts, after which the Learned Common Sergeant summed up; and the jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of puutv.

PRIVY COUNCIL..-(THIS DAY) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to day, according to previous arrangement, for the pur pose of hearing colonial and other appeals. The Lords present were—The Master of the Rolls, Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Parke, the Judge of the Admiralty Court, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, Sir H. East, Sir E. Ryan, and Sir E. Johnson. The first case that came before their Lordships was the petition of George Barnett, of Jamaica, praying to be allowed to appeal. Mr. Decent appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Wells opposed the application on the part of the appellant. Their LORD4HIPS granted the prayer of the petition. JUVEER-BRIEF AND OTHERS V. VIIRIM BIIAEE AND OTHERS. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decree of the Court of Sudder Dewanny Adawlut, in Bombay. The parties to the appeal are the members of a joint, undivided Hindu° family, the subject in dispute being the right of the respon dents on a partition of the jointly-acquired pro perty of three brothers, the sons of the common ancestor of the appellants and respondents, to five shares of certain property valued at 12,006 rupees, and to two shares of one-sixth of other property estimated at 7,486 rupees. Certain proceedings took place in the Courts of Bombay, bcth parties adduced evidence oral and documentary, and on the 16th of November, 1827, Mr. E. Grant, the Judge of the Zilla Court of Kaira, referred the suit to a native court of arbitration. Shortly after the reference Mr. Grant was transferred to the Zilla Court of Ahmedabad, and was succeeded by a Mr. Bell. The arbitrators made their I award. Further proceedings then took place, and the final decree was pronounced, from which the present appeal was brought—on the ground principally that Mr.. Grant, the Zillah Judge of Ahmodabil . ,d,ho dealt with th e cause i n a manner so culpablyluirtial, - and so contrary to good faith, that no weight was due to his decree, or the proceedings on which it was founded, and also because the decree of the Sudder Adawlut was pronounced upon a record of proceedings which Mr. Grant, the Zillah Judge, had de signedly rendered imperfect and inaccurate, and was founded on the weight supposed to be due to the prior proceedings, which were not entitled to credit. Mr. Loftus Wigram and Mr. C. R. M. Jackson ap peared as Counsel for the appellants ; and Mr. Burge, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Moore were in support of the judg ment of the Court below. Mr. Loftus Wigram this morning opened the case on the part of the appellants, and the cas e a pp ears lik e l y to occupy their Lordships the whole of to-day, and the greater part of to-morrow. Their Lordships will sit to-morrow and Saturday, and on the 4th, sth, 6th. 9th, 11th, 13th, and 14th of Decem ber. The Master of the Rolls will preside on all these occasions.
