LAW INTELLIGENCE. to him. He submitted this was such a case as called for their Lordships' interposition, and that they would grant the rule.—Rule granted. polled to do se by that Court. By the 59th section the Commissioners appointed by this local Act had power to make certain rates. They had not, however, the power to make a Church-rate—that power was confined to the parishioners in vestry assembled. He objected to the rate upon other grounds—it was car ried by plurality of voting under Sturges Bdurne's Act. There was no estimate of the sums required for the rate when it was passed. Thsides, Church-rates were a personal rate. On Saturday the Committee of the whole Court of Comm m Council, appointed to make arrangements for and ca , ry into effect the grand dress and fancy ball at Guild.tall on the 14th inst., assembled. Deputy PEACOCK in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that he felt the highest gratifi cation to be able to state, that although the tickets were but ju,t issued to the members of the Committee he bad already received 501. for those which he had him self d spored of.—(Cheers.) The demand was, in fact, becoming so great that he was convinced the whole number could be disposed of before the Lord Mayor's day. . _ . TO BUILDERS AND U l'HEitS. THE ASPIIALTE of SEYSSEL is not less applicable to Foot Pavements than to the Hoofs of Buildings, Terraces, and Hydraulic purposes, &c. The aving effected by substituting that material for lead on roofs Is more than one-half ; brick-work in damp situations, by the use of Asphalte, is preserved and rendered impervious to wet ; it is also admirably adapted to flooring barns and granaries. The Company, mot wishing to interfere with the business of Builders and others, w:11 execute any work in Asphalte which they may contract to do, and will guarantee the durability of material for years. Builders and others wishing to adopt the Asphalte are parti cularly requested to view the different specimens at the Com pany's Wharf, at Stangate, where they will have the fullest in narteation as to its uses and application.

MOORE 27. ELGEII.---APPEAL. THE QUEEN V. THE STEWARD OF THE MANOR OF Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. RODPELL appeared for the defendant in support of the appeal. Mr. Murray, of 16, Great George-street, Hanover-square, one of the plaintiffs in this suit, obtained an injunction last term against the defendant, restraining him from erecting any building or fence in the garden of his house, No. 23, Hanover-square, which would intercept the light and air of the plaintiff's premises. The defendant wishing to build on the ground in the rear of his house, butt a hoard up to the height of the intended erections at a few feet distance from the wall of the garden of the plaintiff's house, in order to try his right. The plaintiff, complaining of the obstruction of the light and air by the screen then put np, filed a bill against Mr. Eiger ; and, on application to the Vice-Chancellor, obtained in junctions restraining him from continuing the hoard or building on the ground until after his right bad been tried by an action at law, which his Honour ordered the plaintiffs to bring against him. Doctor Ure had made some very ingenious experiments testing the degree of obstruction of the light in the plaintiff's dining-room. The Doctor placed on the side-board of Mr. Murray's house, where the hoard was before it, a piece of paper which had been washed with a solution of the nitrate of silver, and a similar piece of paper was placed in the same situation in an adjoining house, where the light was not intercepted ; this test produced the following result :—The paper placed in Mr. Murray's room was scarcely changed in colour after half an hour's exposure, while that placed in the adjoining hause had been so affected by the light as to assume a mulberry colour. The experiment was several times repeated with similar results. The Learned Counsel contended that these tests were not conclusive of the relative degrees of light in different houses. Against these experiments, affidavits, sworn by Mr. Cubit and Mr. Wing, asserted that the light was but in the most trifling degree les sened by the building. Mr. JAMES RUSSELL, in support of the injunction, relied much upon Dr. Ure's experiments, and upon the fact that the sky could not be seen at a distance of five feet from the windows after the hoard had been built, whilst it was discernible at more than double that dis tance before, and that the rays of the sun at midsummer were excluded two hours earlier with than without the obstruction. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the evidence, con sidering the respectable individuals making the affida vits, was the most painfully conflicting he ever remem bered to have heard. From the defendant's anxiety to dissolve the injunction, there remained no doubt of his interest being deeply involved in the business. His Lordship would refrain from giving a decision on the point at issue, leaving the matter to be decided in a court of law ; he would dissolve the injunction, how ever, leaving the defendant at his own risk to go on with the works, but on the clear understanding that, after the verdict of a jury, this Court would deal with the case upon its own merits. Injunction dissolved on the above terms. . RICHMOND. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had to show cause against a rule calling upon the steward to admit a party to some copyhold property. He would take a preliminary ob jection. This merely called upon the steward, whereas it should have been a mandamus to the lord or lady of the manor. In the present instance the Queen was the lady of the manor, and therefore, as her Majesty could not be served with a mandamus, the remedy was by pe tition of right. Upon this ground, he submitted, the rule must be discharged. Sir W. FOLLETT, in support of the rule, contended that, as the Queen was lady of the manor, no one could admit but the steward. It was a ministerial, not a vo luntary act ; the Crown could not interfere : it was in the power of the steward to exercise a discretion, and the writ therefore, he submitted, was perfectly well di rected.

The COURT observed the only question bearing on that point was whether under the local Act authority was given to the assessment being made on the land lords, not on the occupiers. Mr. Pellatt said the Act gave no such power. It was cruel to make him pay the rates. As a Dissenter he objected to Church-rates. He trusted the Court would dismiss him from further litigation. Dr. ADDAMS, for the Churchwardens, said it was not contended that the local Act allowed Church-rates to be compounded for. It was for the benefit of all parties in the parish that the Church and other rates should be compounded for. Mr. Pellatt had agreed to this arrangement. Mr. Pellatt—Not since the new assessment of the parish. I have not compounded since then. Dr. ADDAMS submitted that Mr. Pellatt having under his own hand-writing agreed to compound for the rates, he could not now turn round and plead that the rate now proceeded for was illegally made. The COURT—There has been a new assessment of the parish. Has Mr. Pellatt assented to pay his rates since such re-assessment. GREEN'S DISEASES OF THE SKIN. The COURT took time to consider. THE QUEEN V. CHRISTOPHER ALDERSON. This was a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why an information, in the nature of a quo war ranto, should not be issued, calling upon him to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the office of an alderman of the borough of Carnarvon. After hearing Mr. ERLE against the rule, and Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT in support of it, The COURT made the rule absolute. Second Edition, in 1 vol.

Mr. Pellatt replied in the negative. Dr. Ann Ams considered that Mr. Pellatt was bound by his acts previously, and that he must pay the present rate. The libel therefore was admissible. Sir HERBERT JENNER said the question was one of great importance with reference to the local Act of Par liament. If the Court should be of opinion that the landlord could not be assessed for the occupier, under the local Act, it would be useless to admit the libel.

Early in November will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metrepolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been determined shall be called H E W 0 R L D. 1 Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that w e would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantl e of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bxt his style would have been too spark ling aid light for us; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of M‘Cullech's " Commercial Dietionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We, feared to be vivacious andpointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out f; k. eity, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the corn pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast ; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut Hat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man al one loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never bad the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carrvers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads ; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthe whole concern ~ A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester hie sermo." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilised humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number •f newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port •n• which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious meb ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We sha always be happy, when we can agree with these men who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause o f liberty ; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out -itemises to suffering millions which are never likely to bey eaLied— My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose aPremier, be he Whig , Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the Ballot;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We s hall be ' staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted.

GORE'S NEW WORK.—We are assured that there is no foundation for the literary report that the forthcoming novel of " Preferment," from the pro lific pen of Mrs. Gore, forms a sort of pendant to the " Vicar of Wrexhill " Those best informed upon the subject affirm that it is intended on the contrary to set forth in lively colours the evil results of the present sys tem of Church patronage, without reference to sects or persons. MEMOIRS OF CHARLES MATHEWS, CON CLUDING VOLUMES.—The new volumes of these Me moirs form decidedly the most amusing work that has issued from the press during the present year. It abounds with anecdote, the style is sprightly and suited to the narration, and, unlike most works of its class, it does not consist of a rifaccinzento of oft-told tales, but possesses novelty in every page. The variety of cha racters that are brought before us appear as in a wizard's glass," with all the attributes that distin guished them in life, and to give them the highest praise possible, are almost as vividly pourtrayed as when their pecularities were represented by the great comedian, himself. Amongst the personages who figure in these memoirs we find the most distinguished men of the day, from the most illustrious in rank to the most cele brated in letters and arts, to all of whom it ap peared pleasure to record their esteem for the cha racter and admiration of the talents of the unrivalled actor and artist. Thus we have George the Fourth ; Theodore Hook ; the Earl of Egremont ; Poole, author of " Paul Pry ;" Sir Walter Scott ; Sir Thomas Lawrence ; Wilkie ; Chantrey ; Coleridge; Macready ; Horace Smith ; Charles Young ; Leigh Hunt ; Fanny Kemble ; and a host of other distinguished names, all concurring to add interest to the memoirs, whose own merits woud be enough to en sure them popularity,—Morning Herald.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nor. 2. HULKS V. DAY. Mr. CHAPMAN BARBER applied ex-parte in this case, for a rule nisi to show cause why the funds in Court in which the defendant had an interest, should not be charged with the judgment debt of the plaintiff. The Learned Council made the application under the 14th andlBt'l sections of the Act for abolishing arrests in mesne process, the former section giving power to the Judge of ~.ny of the Superior Courts to make the order asked, and the latter empowering a Court of Equity to interfere in certain cases. In the present case it became necessary to apply to the Court, inas much as the fund did not stand in the name of the de fendant, but it was clear that he had an interest in the fund, and the plaintiff had obtained judgment against him in the Court of Exchequer. His HONOUR granted the rule nisi, MACLARRY V. MATTHEWS. _ . A gentleman behind the bar, applied to his Honour ex•parte in this case, for an injunction to restrain the 'lefendant, and the Accountant- General of the Court, from transferring the sum of 9001. stock. The plaintiff, it appeared, was in terested under the will of a person who resided in Do minique, to whom the defendant was executor. The amount in question was derived from the sum allowed by the Compensation Commissioners under the Slavery Abolition Act, for forty-three slaves, which belonged to the testator. The defendant contended that he was en titled to the sum in question on account of the advances he had made, and was now on his way from Domi nique for the purpose of transferring the stock and ob taining the proceeds. The plaintiff, by his bill, which was filed for an account, insisted that the defendant's advances had been satisfied by his receipts, and he there fore now applied for an injunction to restrain the transfer till the accounts should have been taken. His HONOUtt granted the injunction. The Court will proceed with motions on Monday this day), and unopposed petitions on Tuesday. ROLLS' COURT, Nor. 2. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. LEWIS AND OTHERS. Mr. BLUNK moved in this case that an appearance might be entered by one of the Six Clerks for the de fendant Lewis Lewis, pursuant to the statutes of the 11th Geo. IV., and Ist Will. IV., chap. 36, the usual notice having been given, and that he be committed to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet, until he should have purged his contempt. The defendant, Lewis Lewis, who had been taken upon an attachment for want of answer, and who was brought up by Habeas Corpus from Dorchester gaol, upon being asked by his Lordship why he had not put in his answer, stated that he carried the subpcena to his solicitor in the country the day after he received it, and instructed him to do what was ne cessary, but that he had neglected to attend to those instructions. The MASTER of the ROLLS told the defendant that if his Solicitor had not done what was right he had his remedy against him, although it wAs very hard that the defendant should suffer through his neglect. The mo tion was granted. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 2. THE QUEEN V. WATTS. Mr. THESIIER moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Alaric Attila Watts, the editor, printer, and proprietor of the United Service Gazette, for having published a series of libels against Captain Reeve, a commander in the Royal Navy. It appeared from the affidavit, that in 1838 Captain Reeve was on the African station, in com mand of the Lily ship of war; that on the 10th of August it was reported to him by an officer on watch, that, on his entering the cabin of the first lieutenant, he had found in bed with him a boy of about 14 years of age. Captain Reeve immediately ordered the parties to be put under arrest, and reported it the same day to the commanding officer, Admiral Elliott ; and he re ceived directions from the Admiral to detain the par ties under arrest until they could be sent home by the Pelican. Shortly afterwards the Lieutenant, whose name was Inman, was missing from the vessel, which was reported by Captain Reeve to the Admiral. He had afterwards, however, returned, and delivered himself up as a deserter ; and, under the circumstances, Admiral Elliott had thought it necessary to order Captain Reeve to take the Lily home, in order that there might be a Court-martial ; and he ordered that the boy should be kept apart from the lieutenant until it should be determined whether he should be examined as a witness or tried as a prisoner. The Court martial took place at Plymouth, and the re sult was, that though the officers were of opinion that the most serious part of the charge was not established, in consequence of Lieutenant Inman being intoxicated, yet they determined that so much had been proved that he should be dismissed the service. The result of this court-martial was the tsignal of a variety of attacks against Captain Reeve in the United Service Gazette. It became necessary, unfortunately, s h ort l y afterwards, that Captai❑ Reeve should bring to a court , martial two other officers, ono of whom had been ad monished, and the other severely reprimanded ; and on the Bth of June, the article of which Captain R eeve eo-nplained appeared in the United Service Gazette, in which he designated Captain Reeve as an inexorable martinet, having brought paltry and contemptible charges against two officers. It then charged him with harshness and cruelty to the boy in Lieutenant Inman's affair, and it stated that the prevarication of Captain Reeve before the court-martial was so gross, that if it had been before a civil tribunal he would have been ad monished on the spot, instead of being allowed to con tinue in a command which he had disgraced by his conduct. A court-martial appeared to differ from a court of law in one respect, that in the latter every doubt was given in favour of the prisoner, while the members of a eourt-martial thought they ought not to be convened for nothing, and fancied their duty had not been performed satisfactorily if the prisoner were allowed to escape from his vindictive piosecutor. Whether Captain Reeve was to be appointed to the command of another ship remained to be seen, but if he should be, they should know to what he had to attri bute his promotion. He had affidavits to show that no harshness was used to the boy, that lie was allowed two hours a day for exercise, and was permitted to sleep in his berth. With regard to prevarication, he was not a witness for the Crown, but had been culled by Lieu , tenant Inman, and bad given his evidence favourably The case came on for trial before Mr. Baron Manic, at the last assizes held at Liverpool, when the Jury found for the plaintiff for the amount sought. It appeared that the defendants are bankers, carrying on business at Manchester, and that, in the course of 1837, a woman had lodged in their hands a sum of 50/., in the name of Robert Birch, whom she represented as being about the age of twelve years. Some time subse quently to the lodgment of the money in question, the plaintiff, in company with another person, called at the banking house and demanded payment of the money, alleging, as the ground of his right to make such de mand, that the female who had deposited it in their hands was his wife, and therefore that the property necessarily was his. The defendants, however, declined to accede to his request, and refused to give up the money. The present action had, consequently, been brought with a view to its recovery. On the trial, a witness proved that about the period at which the sum was lodged in the banking-house, the husband (the plaintiff) of the female referred to had received 3001., as his proportion, in right of his wife, of the proceeds of the sale of the property of the father of that lady : and it was further stated that the plaintiff had been seen to hand over to his wife a bank-note for 501. On the other hand it was contended, inasmuch as the female in question had been previously married to a person of the name of Birch, by whom she had borne the lad alluded to, that Birch at his death had left property behind him, out of which a sum of 50/. was to be appropriated for the son. It was submitted, therefore, that the 50/. which had been paid into the house of the defendants, in the name of Robert Birch, the issue of such former marriage by the wife of the plaintiff, was the produce of the estate and effects of his father, the first husband. After the case had been gone into, the Learned Judge was of opinion that the facts,' as proved, were sufficiently strong to warrant the presumption, that the money in dispute was the property of the husband. The Jury thereupon, the Counsel for the defendants not having, after the expression of such an opinion by the Court, addressed them, found a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. -TOMLINSON this day moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had, on the ground that the wife in this matter had acted merely as the agent of her son, and that when she lodged the money in his name in the hands of the defendants, it was precisely the same as though Robert Birch had performed the act himself. The Court granted the rule. There was no other case of public interest brought under the notice of the Court, which rose about four o'clock. ARCHES COURT, Nor. 2. (Before Sir HERBERT JENNER.) THE OFFICE OF JUDGE, PROMOTED BY TUE SUIT OF BURDAR V. SPEARE D CLERK. This was a suit against the defendant, Mr. Speare, who is the Perpetual Curate of the parish of Thames Ditton, promoted by Mr. Burdar, Secretary to the Bishop of Winchester, which now came before the Court upon the admission of articles. The articles imputed to Mr. Speare that he was an habitual drunk ard, and that he was in the habit of frequenting a small inn or public house at Thames Ditton, called the Swan, and that he had been guilty at various times of divers acts in the performance of his spiritual offices at variance with his character as a clergyman ; that he had been guilty of indecent and irreverent conduct in Church, in being intoxicated during the performance of divine service ; that he had been guilty of like irreve rent and improper conduct upon a certain occasion, when one William Carr, a parishioner, had taken his child to be christened by the defendant, and had paid him the regular fee, by holding out the fee, and ex claiming, " Look'e here ; the clergy are charged with robbing the poor ; this does not look like it," be being at the same intoxicated ; that he was in the habit of having a bottle of port wine or some brandy brought to him at the Church from the Swan, and deposited in the vestry on Sundays, and of drinking the same, so that he became intoxicated ; that upon one occasion he became so intoxicated as to be unable to complete the performance of divine service by preaching a sermon ; and that upon the 10th of March, 1839, he had become so intoxicated that he got through the service with difficulty, and not without committing many mistakes, and that even tually, after having delivered his sermon, he sank down in the pulpit, and was totally unable to read the bles sing. These acts were charged to have been committed at divers times specified, since the year 1836, when the defendant first assumed the office of Curate. Dr. HAGGARD and Dr. NietioL appeared in support of the articles. Dr. ADDAMS and Dr. CURTEIS, on the part of the defendant, objected to the admission of the articles, and contended that the allegations were too general to admit of being properly answered ; that the expression attri buted to Mr. Speare was not of a nature which could be taken cognizance of, inasmuch as that it might have been used in a sense very different from that given to it ; that the allegation of the wine and brandy being brought to the church might possibly be explained by the de fendant, and that the circumstance very probably arose from a desire on the part of the defendant to be pre pared, in case any person should be taken ill in the court of the service, which was an occurrence by no means uafrequent, to afford them such relief and assist ance as a vestry could well afford ; and, finally, that the specific acts alleged to have been committed by the de fendant, in his being unable to continue the service, inight have arisen from absolute ill health, and not from th e cause imputed. The articles were then ordered to be admitted, sub ject to their being amended on a minor point. CHURCH-RATES.-HANTS AND VICAT V. APSLEY PELLATT. This is a suit for the subtraction of Church -rates, brought by the churchwardens of Christchurch, Surrey, against Mr. Pellatt (who is a Dissenter), which he re fuses to pay, on the ground that the rate was improperly made, and that it was unequal. Mr. Pellatt appeared in person to defend his opposition to the rate. In the early part of the proceedings Mr. Pellatt appeared under protest, and addressed the Court at great length against being compelled, as a Dissenter, to pay Church rates. That protest was over-ruled, and he was as signed to appear absolutely, The question now was the admissibility of a libel offered on behalf of the churchwardens in support of the rate. Mr. Pellatt begged the indulgence of the Court, as he was unacquainted with the forms of proceeding. while he stated his objections to the libel. Ho stated that the vestry in which the rate was made was most irregular—that the rate was unjust—that he had not, as allegA, compounded for the rate, and was proceed inc.- to other facts not contained in the libel. 'The COURT said those details would be best brought forward on the allegation. Mr. Pellatt considered it would be a denial of justice if he were not allowed to proceed. He pro ceeded to comment upon the conduct of parties. The CouRT observed that injustice would be done to parties by the course pursued by Mr. Pellatt, if he were allowed to proceed, when they were not present to de fend themselves. _ _ Mr. Pellatt then contended that the rate had been illegally raised under a local act, which had not one word about Church or Church rates. Sir HERBERT JENNER—I am ready to hear you on that point. Mr. Pellatt said a loci( Act was passed in the 51st George 111., chap. 32, for the better assessing and collecting the poor-rates, and for other purposes, and for permitting parties to com pound for such rates. Now the rate he refused to pay being a church-rate, was raised under this Act, w hi c h h e considered clearly illegal, as the Act did not refer to such rates. It was true that he as well as others had compounded for all these rates, but since the parish was newly assessed he had not compounded for the Church-rate, nor would he pay it unless com- A glance into the ouLtr u‘tit of these courts would furnish a vindication—if- indee I such were possible—o f tine absurdities of " t2etotalism." A large proportion of those who weeely crowd to these places are the wives of labourtag men, and their common object is to implore some unrelenting publican to grant a little fur ther time for the payment of a debt for drink which their sottish husbaixis, so the ruin of their half-clad and fa mished families, have selfishly suffered to accumulate. A publican, in Soho. claimed ..ss. Bd. (an unpaid weekly score) of John Thomas, a jobbing porter. The wife—with an infant in her arms, end two others shivering by her side ; the group presenting a painful picture of squalor and famine,—came forward to speak for her husband. Her story was the miserable history of many a work ing man's home. " How will you pay the amount ?" inquired the Chairman. " God only knows," answered the woman, " all we have in the world wouldn't fetch half the sum."; " Five and eightpence is a great deal to run up in one week," remarked the Chairman. " Pray how much was drunk at home ?" Woman—How much ! Not a drop. It was all drunk away from his family, by my husband, at this man's house. As for beer, neither me nor my children taste a drop from one month's end to the other. COMMISSIONER Number One—Well, well, a labour in man ought to be allowed his pint of beer. Woman—But out of 15s. a week, which is all my husband earns when in work, ought he to spend ss. Bd. in getting drunk in a public-house? COMMISSIONER Number One—ls any of the amount for gin ? Publican—No ; the score is for nothing else than. beer. COMMISSIONER Number One—Oh, only beer ; get ting drunk on beer and getting drunk on gin is two very different things. I can answer for that. Woman—But what matters it whether the man gets drunk on beer or gin, so as he spends in a public-house what his wife and children ought to have ? Yes, night after night have I been to this man's house (the publi can), begging my husband to come home, or to give me even a penny to get his children bread with ; but I've been laughed at, ill-used, and driven out of the house by his drunken companions, and by the landlord. Landlord—My house is a well-conducted house— every body knows that. COMMISSIONER. Number One—Oh, yes ; your house is a respectable house, I'll answer for that. Publican—And I must sell beer, otherwise bow can I pay my rent ? CommissioNEß Number One (the owner of several houses)—Yes, yes ; the first duty of a tenant is to pay nis rent. The COURT male an ,order for the payment of the debt at 6d. weekly. The woman took the paper, and, a; she drove ter children before bet, said fiercely, " It's you, you little unfortunate wrekines,that will have to safer." ADVANTAGES PECULIAR TO THIS SOCIETY.

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAOE BY A CLERGYMAN.— Daniel Tanner and the Rev. John Curtis were indicted for assaulting Samuel Smith, on the 26th day of De cember, 1838. - - - The case has stood on the paper for trial for several sessions. During that time several attempts have been made to settle it by arbitration, but without success. Daniel Tanner not appearing, his recognizances were ordered to be estreated. The Reverend Gentleman, who is considerably ad vanced in years, was placed at the bar. The cirmarn stances of the case are of a very peculiar character. Daniel Tanner is a gentleman farmer, residing at Lower place, in the Harrow-road. The Rev. J. Curtis is Vi car of Willesden. The prosecutor was a tenant of Mr. Tanner, and kept a beer-shop in a small tenement. His landlord put in a distress for rent, which the tenant maintained was not due, and he accordingly resisted the attempt to take possession, and finally ejected the man and his wife, win were put in for that purpose. This led to a series of outrages ; during one of which the Reverend Gentleman and Mr. Tanner went to the house, set upon prosecutor with oilier persons who acted by their suggestion, beat him with sticks, hand cuffed him, and kept him so from Saturday night till Monday morning without fire and light, the Sunday being a bitter cold day, in that most inclement season. The distress was never subsequently enforced, which led to the inference that it was entirely illegal. The Rev. Gentleman, in his defence, said that Mr. Tanner called at his residence. While they were con versing together, the wife of the man who had been put in possession of prosecutor's premises came running into fa ce, from apart men t w ith th e bl oo d stream i ng down her from th e effect of a blow from a brickbat, or something of that kind, and bagged of them to come and try to pacify the prosecutor and his wife.

The Jury almost instantly returned a verdict of Guilty. Th e Chairman said he bad, never heard of a more o utrageous proceeding, and sorry be was that a clergy man should be placed in such a predicament. He should be bound over in his former recognizances to appear in that court for judgment at their next sitting. The prosecutor and his wife stood indicted by 'Fan ner, and he again by the wile, for assaults respectively A MEMBER asked whether it would not be possible to raise the prise of the tickets as the preparations would amount to considerably greater expense then was at first contemplated, on account of the additional flags and decorations, and display of gas, &c. The CHAIRMAN said the price having been once fixed it would be impossible to make aey alteration, but it would be of course optional with those who purchased to pay whatever their liberality prompted above the set tled sum. He recollected perfectly that upon the lase occasion the sum of five guineas was offered far a gen tleman's and lady's ticket, and that a more splendid as semblage was never witnessed ; at that time pounds and pounds were paid over and above the regulated eharge ; but it was observed that the late applicants were the largest contributors, f or w h en t h e difficulty of promering admissions presented itself, the appetite for the sem ment increased in proportion, and the charity was abundantly subscribed to, the very eclat of the enter tainment mixing itself up with the motives of compassion and sympathy.—(Cheers.) Mr. CARR, of Bishopsgate Ward (the Secretary to the Committee) stated that amongst the names of the Patrons and Patronesses who had pre sented themselves in the zealous hope of witnessing a very profitable and magnificent entertainment, were those of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Hamilton, the Duke of Sutherland, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Northampton, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl of Compton, Count D'Orsay, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Dudley Coutts Stewart, Lord Wharncliffc, Lord Gardner, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lord Cranstoun, Lord Panmure, the Hon. John Wortley, the Hon. Col. Leicester Stanhope, the Hon. Charles Wortley, Sir Francis Burdett, Bart„ Sir James Macgregor, Earl Jermyn, Admiral Sir George Norton, G.O B. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Hamilton, the Duchess of Su therland, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Lady Mayoress, Lady Emme ine Wortley, Lady Marianne Compton, Lady Charles Fitzroy, Lady Gardner, Lady Wharncliffe, the Hon. Mr.. Leicester Stanhope, Lady Macgregor, &c. &c. &c..--(Loud cheers.) Several of the members gave in accounts of the num ber of tickets they had already sold, and stated that they found it quite unnecessary to use the language of solici tation on the subject, for the Polish Ball was scarcely noticed in the press when they received applications. The delnand was, in fact, becoming quite greedy. Some notice was taken by the members of the letter of a correspondent of the Times, who signed himself " Britannicus," and asked whether there were not other charities nearer home that called more imperatively for the aid of our benevolence than the sufferings of a set of foreigners entailed on themselves by their own con duct, and who had no connection with or claim upon the country ? To this question they replied, that they knew of no claim upon the sympathies of Englishmen higher than that of men whose sufferings were the result of a gallant defence of their freedom and their country, and they declared that although this country contributed a few thousands a year to the relief of as gallant a band as ever endured exile in a holy cause, yet small as the sum was, the shabby mode of distribution was such as to make it as far as possible a source of vexation and heart-burning rather than of effectual aid to those it was intended to relieve. They considered it necessary to impress upon the public the fact that whilst Russian tyranny was every day driving forth additional sons of misery to seek a refuge where they could, the new corners were not entitled to a farthing from the funds allotted to the Poles, whilst the approach of winter might well induce the coldest charity to make a trifling addition to , the magnificent stipend of ninepence u-day given to the solders of the most gallant European dation by the richest people in the world. SIR RALPH HOWARD. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) In the address published on Saturday fast, Sir Ralph Howard asserts, as the ground of withdrawing hilt con fidence from the Ministry, their appointment of Mr. Shiel, who had avowed opinions favourable to the ap propriation of the property of the Irish Church to secular objects. On turning to the files of the Dublin Evening Post we fi❑d an address from Mr. Ralph Howard to the electors of the county of 'Wicklow, dated January 4, 1885, from which we extract the following : The appointment, Gentlemen, of Mr. Goulburn, under the present Government, mars the line of policy about to be pursued, and would prevent me from giving it any support. 1 mention him more particularly, be cause he is the representative of the Univers,ity of Cambridge, one of the most Tory constituencies in the kingdom, and is, from his office, vested administrator of the affairs of Ireland. " The principal question, with reference to our part of the United Kingdom, which will be agitated in the ap proaching Parliament, and I trust brought to a final adjustment, is that of tithes. My conduct on that question will be in accordance with the votes I have already given. Firstly, for the 147th clause of the Church Temporalities Bill, which maintains the right of future appropriation by Parliament. Secondly, on the Irish Tithe Bill, when I deemed it my duty to vote with Mr. O'Connell on the mode of realising Church property. Any one who does not embrace in his views these two points, and more particularly the first, is not a real Reformer, but professes Reform as an electioneer ing manoeuvre." - Yes, as an electioneering manoeuvre. Mr. Ralph, in 1835, was "a real Reformer"—a supporter of Mr. O'Connell on the Tithe question—like Mr. Sheil, an uncompromising advocate of the appropriation of Church property, and any candinate who did not embrace these views was an unprincipled trickster. It was Mr. Ralph Howard who avowed those de cided opinions —it is Sir Ralph Howard, Baronet, who designates them dangerous and revolutionary. But, Sir Ralph, after his conduct last Session, could never again face the Reformers of Wicklow, and at the twelfth hour he avows the recreancy which be had meanly practised since he became a Baronet. That was to be the reward of his " electioneering manoeuvre"—he ob tained it, and having nothing more to expect, the poli cal wasp stings his patrons, and renders his public life and his professions a long political lie. Alas, for " the blood of tho Howards !" FIRST CABINET iS Said that the first Cabinet Council will be held on Monday, the 18th inst., and that all the Ministers wilt be assembled in town on that day. FLOGGING BY WHOLESALE AT ETON COL LEGE.—A flogging match, upon a most, extensive scale, took place at Eton College, on Piiday, the day after the first day's fair at Windsor. It appears that at Windsor fair, last year, the 'most frightful rows were got up by the Etonians, ',rho proceeded to Windsor, five hundred strong, drag ge d down the stalls, aeriousiv maltreated the fair fe r ias, and violently assaulted the police, Thi s year, however, orders were issued by the Provost, that not boy was to show himself at the fair. On the evening preceding, it having reached the ears of some of the, masters that something serious was its can in their d templatioa ' on t h e part of the boys, and certain suspicions having be en created in their minds, a search wa s wa d e (after de , t t l - o , rei es boys and hadsc school-rooms, ooh r retiredoomtso, where rest forsetvheeranlig thick clubs, as w e are informed, were found, heavily loaded at one end with lead. The next day, two of the masters stationed themselves at Windsor, in the immediate vici nity of the fair, to watch for the straggling out-of bounds' Etonians. A large party of the boys, in de fiance of the mandate of the Provost, visited the pro scribed locality—th e names of twenty-six of whom were carefully noted down by the lynx-eyed masters, who were on the watch. The next morning their names were called over, and every nue of the offenders, big and little, underwent the awful ceremony of a public flogging in the school. The rods (for the custem is, " every boy his own rod") were about three feet long, and manufactured, in the most orthodox style, of black birch. Each of the young 'scapegraces were removed, downwards, one form, as an additional punishment for disobeying the injunctions of the Provost.---Sunday Times. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.
