Deposit, 21. per share. The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary arrangements connected with the Branch advertised to Chichester, and an active surrey of the line is being prosecuted for carrying into effect the original intention of this Company for constructing the intended Railway between London and Portsmouth by the most direst and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the conviction that any other or more circuitous line must only entail on the passengers and transit of goods between those places addi tional *oat of conveyance, in proportion to the extra length adopted, without any corresponding benefit being derived. The reports from the Surveyors on the line continue to be of the most favourable character, and it is well ascertained that neither tunnel nor any formidable excavations will be necessary, and that the Direct line, via Guildford, Godalming, &c., will to the great advantage of the Shareholders and the Public, be most easily prac ticable. The promoters of, and the Provisional Committee of Manage ment, of this undertaking, abstain from fully publishing the measure until the final result of the surveys will enable them to lay the exact route of the main line itself, and of the respective branches, an de tail, before the public, so that efficient means of investigation may be afforded, which can alone secure public support and the sanction of the Legislature.

FIR,—I think it right to inform you, that I was a short time since afflicted very severely with an acute pain in my leg, thigh, and hip, from which I could get no rest either night or day. Having applied to several medical persons, all of whom differed in their description of the complaint, I resorted to the shop of Mr. Drewry, medicine vender, in Derbv, for a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills; and a ft er taking two doses, 1 found considerable relief, and the third entirely cured me, with the ex ception of leaving a slight numbness in the parts affected. This cure ought to be known for the benefit of those attacked with a similar corn. plaint. " I remain, your obedient servant, W. MARSHMA N." The great efficacy of this medicine has produced a rapidly increasing sale for several years, which has demonstrated to the public generally that it is one of the most extraordinary medicines ever discovered, the safest, pleasant; . st; and only effectual remedy, relieving generally in two hours the most virlent paroxysm of Gout, Rheumatic Gout, or Rheu matism, repelling the attack with the most astonishing ease, frequently in twenty-four hours ; and in eight cases out of ten perfectly restoring the patient in two or three days, thus preventing the dreadful debility so justly complained of after a severe attack of Gout, saying nothing of the sufferings of the patient.

The views on the banks of that river require no other description, than that, in the immediate neighbourhood, they comprehend Tintern Abbey, Piercefield, and Chepstow ; but it may be added, that the new and excellent road, which now connects these objects, is in the whole line one of ' the most picturesque in the kingdom. The property comprises the capital farms of High Meadow and Cherry Orchard Redbrook higher and lower) Grist Mills, and the newly erected lime-kilns at Bell's-grove ; containing, in the whole 393 a. 1 r. 20 p. of fine red loamy soil, in arable, meadow, pasture, and woodland; excel lent farm-houses, and suitable agricultural buildings, all in good re pair.

Yesterday, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock, as a young man, named Cecil, was crossing Symond's Inn, Chancery. lane, he observed a woman pick up a paper, which she looked at, but not being able to read it, said it would do to light her fire. Cecil asked permission to look at it, which was readily granted ; and being a bit of a lawyer, dis covered it to be a French bond for 7001. On the back was endorsed " Stable, solicitor, 18, Lincoln's Inn-fields," where he took it immediately, and delivered it into the bands of one of the clerks, who rewarded his honesty with the sum of 55., although he admitted that an advertisement was drawn out for insertion, offering a large reward for its recovery ! It turns out that the person who lost it is the son of an opulent banker at Paris, and that the bond was his father's property. ADVOWSON OF TIIE RECTORY OF BATH AND VICARAGE OF LYNCOMBE AND WIDCOMBE.-This preferment has been sold for the very large sum of 6,330/. The price forwarded to the Church Commissioners as the lowest which the Council would take was only 4,500/. The purchaser is the Rev. C. Simeon, of Cambridge, who is connected with a society, the object of which is to buy up livings, in order to present to them " Evangelical " preachers. Several per sons well acquainted with this description of property had estimated the utmost value of the Bath advowson at 4,0001._ Bath Chronicle. EJECTMENT.—A Bill is before Parliament for fa cilitating the recovery of possessions of tenements. By this Bill it is proposed that where a tenant or occupier of premises, the rent of which does not exceed 201. per annum, holds over the landlord may go before a Magistrate, who shall issue his warrant, directing the constable to assist in retakirg possession. If the landlord has not lawful right to possess:on, an action will lie ; but where he has lawfui title .3 pc ese=sion, no irre gula.ity will make him a trespasser. The landlord, on getting possession, may remove the goods of the tenant, to whom no tice of the place of removal must be then given. Where pre mises' are held at a higher rate than twenty pounds a-year, the landlord, on bringing an action of ejectment, may apply to a Judge for security for damage and costs. A most desperate attempt to commit an atrocious murder was made at the Bear inn, Wantage, on the night of Monday last. It appears that the servants retired to bed about eleven o'clock, and about a quarter past two one of the men, of the name of Poole, who slept in a room over the stable in the yard, left his bed, came through the yard, and went up to the bed-voom of the ostler, named Lamball ; the latter was asleep, when he was suddenly awoke, and found Poole in the act of stabbing him in the throat. Lamball immediately grap pled with him, and succeeded in wrenchi n g th e wea p on ( a large carving knife) out of Poole's hand. Poole then shut the door of the room, ran down stairs, and made his escape. Lamball was able to leave his bed and go into the passage. The female servants were alarmed by his cries for assistance. Medical aid was immediately procured, when it was found he had received a slight wound in the throat, and a very severe and dangerous one in the pit of the stomach. He is now lying in a precarious state. No tidings have yet been heard of Poole. The cause of the act is supposed to be jealousy, as it seems that Poole had formed an attachment for one of the female servants, which was not encouraged on her part, and he imagined that Lamball was preferred before him.—Read ing Mercury. Mr. Edward Fisher Langshawe is the n ew Master of the Ceremonies at Vauxhall Gardens, and by his urbanity of manners, bit's fair to become as great a favourite with the visitors of the " Royal property" as the late illustrious Simp son, He has, we hear, undertaken the office gratuitously, and is the same Gentleman who was in treaty for the lesseeship of Covent Garden Theatre last season. FEMALE DaulDs.—Sunday evening the interment of a member of this venerable order took place at the Parish Church, Bolton. The ladies comprising this body seem to have caught the mania, and imitated in good style the different orders that wear insignia upon such occasions. They were all dressed in black gowns and sashes, each carrying a piece of evergreen. The four pall-bearers were attired in black silk gowns ; but the ne plus ultra has yet to be announced—one of the females carried a -scroll, and, to our astonishment, read at the grave side a funeral oration As might be supposed, the streets were crowded to witness so singular a scene. —Bolton Free Press. THE SLAVE TRADE IN RIO DE JANEIRO. — Extract of a letter to the Lord Mayor, dated Rio de Janeiro, Aril 16, 1836 :—" Silver and gold have risen very rapidly within the last few days, principally in consequence of the number of vessels about to sail from the coast of Africa, en gaged in that detestable traffic, the slave trade, which con tint!es to be carried on under the Portuguese flag with greater activity than ever." SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Should the clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland ultimately fail in recovering the arrears of tithes and tithe-composition, the fault will not lie at the door of the Irish Court of Exchequer—the righte ous and learned judges of which, from the sombre Foster to the sardonic Joy, seem determined to enforce the payment of the obnoxious impost perfrs out nefas. A decision of that Court, to which we think public attention ought to •be directed, will be found in the report we have copied from the Dublin Morning Register. From the report, it appears that Lord Ponsonby, who is ambassador from this country to the Porte, is landlord of a portion of the parish of Ardagh, in the diocese of Cloyne and county of Cork, and that the Rev. Joshua Jervis is rector. The latter claimed tithe-composition from . the "Noble Lord's agent, who declined compliance with the demand, on the plea of non-liability. The arrears having ac crued for two years, the Rector applied, under, the provisions of Lord Stanley's Temporalities Act, for A receiver over so much of Lord Ponsonby's .e.stat's as is situated within the parish in question. This application was resisted by Lord Ponsonby's counsel, on the ground that the Act under which the application was made to the Court of Exchequer did not apply in this case. The Court of Exchequer, however, supplying the defect of the statute by that sort of law which_ is common to Ireland, viz., j u di c i a l a dictum, granted conditional order ; and having done this, we may be prepared for their making the rule absolute ; for the same argument on which counsel, when showing cause against the conditional rule, must rest their case, has been already put to the Court in the clearest light, and has failed to produce an impres sion upon the judges. Now see the outrageous se verity, the monstrous injustice—it matters not whether accidental or wilful—of this proceeding. Lord Pon sonby's agent does not object to the payment of the tithe composition on any factious plea ; he does not say that the impost is odious, he does not rest his refusal to pay upon the pretext that tithes ought to be abolished in Ireland, but he denies his employer's liability—he says he will not pay, because Lord Ponsonby does not owe a shilling to the Reverend claimant. Having received this reason for the non-payment of the demand, the Rector files his bill of discovery. So far all is right and regular. But while the bill is before the Court of Equity, before judgment is pronounced, and consequently before Lord Ponsonby's liability has been either affirmed or negatived by a decree, the R e ct or a ppli es t o t h e C ourt of Exchequer for a receiver over the Noble Lord's 1 property and that Court, without knowing whether Lord Ponsonbv is indebted in the amount of a farthing to the reverend plantiff, and having judicial knowledge that the noble defendant resists the claim upon the most solid of all pleas—a plea, if founded in truth, that cannot be shaken, over-ruled, or demurred to—. grants a conditional order! This order will be made absolute, if Lord Ponsonby does not show that he is not liable. Thus a defendant will be com pelled by summary process to show that he does not owe money, before the plantiff has even attempted to prove thedebt and the most learned judges of the Court of Exchequer, upon whom Mr. Sergeant Jackson lately pronounced so suspicious a panegyric, will have com pelled Lord Ponsonby to prove a negative I And under what authority do the judges pretend to pro ceed ? Under the 3d Wm. IV., which throws the liability of tithe composition upon the possessor of the first estate of inheritance. Now this statute authorises the appointment of a receiver only in cases of acknow ledged or established liability. In Lord Ponsonby's case this liability is denied by the defendant, and has not vet been established by the plaintiff. Probably, at all events possibly, the Noble Lord's liability cannot be established—for if the tenants have leases, they, and not the landlord, are by Stanley's Act liable for the tithe composition, and the agent avers that the tenantry on the particular estate are, by the condition of their tenure, liable for the Parson's claim. Yet the Court of Exchequer conceive themselves warranted in granting a conditional order for the receiver's being appointed under the circumstances we have stated. We venture to assert that there is not in Europe another court of law or equity which would pronounce such an order. It completely upsets the Bill that has been filed—it gives to the statute a mean ing and a power which even its author, with all his love for the Church revenues, did not contemplate—it requires of a defendant to show that he does not owe money to a plaintiff, before the plaintiff has even at tempted to establish a prima facie claim—it sets all the rules of law and reasoning at defiance, and sets up the prejudices or passions or caprice of judges against justice and common sense. What, let us ask, would be thought in this country of a court of justice which, in a case where a merchant of London claimed a debt of 500/. from a nobleman residing in Middlesex, and the defendant denied that he owed a farthing, would yet, before the question of debt was decided, either by a decree in equity, or by a verdict of a jury, appoint a receiver over the defendant's estate„ and oust the landlord out of his inherent right and authority ?• We do not hesitate to say that there would be an universal call upon the House of Commons, from one extremity to the other of England, either to impeach , such Judges on the ground of corruption, or to address the Crown for their removal, on the ground of incom petency. In what respect such a proceeding would differ from the proceedings that have actually taken place in Ireland, we avow our inability to discover. It may be said, perhaps, that the Irish Judges have merely granted a conditional rule. What of that ? Will they not make the rule absolute if cause be not shown which will alter their present opinion ? .Now the mere necessity of showing cause in this instance, is itself an outrage upon law and reason. Why should any man be compelled to prove his inno cence until a prima facie case of guilt has been estab lished ? or why should a man be held to prove that he does not owe a particular sum of money to a pai,- ticular individual, until the claimant has produced evidence sufficient to establish at all events a prima facie cause of action ? Let us suppose the rule made absolute. The defendant may still answer the bill, and, by satisfying the Equity Gina that he is not liable, obtain a decree against the plaintiff; or, more correctly speaking, get the bill dismissed. The receivership would then fall to the. ground, its existence being de clared repugnant to justice. But Lord Ponsonby would obtain no redress for the past wrong ; and the . outrageous interference with his rights as a landlord would pass away as one more item in the catalogue of errors of judgment—those precious screens, more po tent than bullet-proof blinds, which ward off all the dangerous consequences of wrong doing from my Lords the Judg es . Th e l an dl or d s of Ireland had better look to it in time. They may find, ere long, to their sor row, that while aiding the Tory Lords and the Oranffe parsons in thwarting the King's Ministers, and torturing the I r i s h peasantry, t h ey h a d b een knotting the cat-o'-nine-tails for their own backs.—Morning Chronicle. The speech of Mr. Goulburn on the proposed re duction of the Stamp Duties on Newspapers, and the Tax on Soap, was one of the most triumphant answers ever given to the financial statements of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, struggling for party purposes to make the " worse appear the. better reason." It was, indeed, a complete demolition of the Finance Minis ter's whole fabric of reasoning. Though successful on the division, Mr. Spring Rice must have been tho roughly conscious of defeat in argument. That he should have committed himself as a Statesman and a Financier on this question, we ascribe entirely to the difficulties of his position L-difficulties which are inse parable from the very circumstances under which the Cabinet, of w►rich he is, after all, one of the most efficient Members, was constructed. A Cabinet whose tenure of office depends on its subserviency to dema gogues and sordid traders of agitation, must shape their measures, not according to any conscientious opinions of their own, or in conformity with the will of an enlightened public —no, they must, although they loathe it, do the work of the tyrant faction, to whom they have bound themselves in the slavery of the " compact-alliance," and disobe dience to whom would be political death. One of the main arguments of Mr. Spring Rice for reducing the Stamp Duty on Newspapers was, that at the present rate it is a continually decreasing duty. To prove the facts from which he drew his conclusion the Right Hon. Gentleman instanced the amount of the duty in the year 1831, and in subsequent years, down to 1835 inclusive—the amount in the first of those years being 483,0001., and in the last 455,0001. From this he would have had the House infer that the high stamp was the occasion of a falling off in the revenue, and that to make the tax more productive it must be reduced. That might be so, provided he were correct in the data of his reasoning, and yet it might be alto gether fallacious that so large a reduction as from 4d. to ld. was required by the public, or would be bene ficial to the revenue. But Mr. Goulburn showed that the data which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had adopted were wholly incorrect, aria, of course, the inference drawn from them erroneous and deceptive. The Chancellor of the Exchequer having with more craftiness than candour, commenced his calcu lations with the year 1831, the year of the reform ex citement, Mr. Goulburn reminded the House that the political . circumstances of that year naturally led to a great increase in the circulation of Newspapers, which increase, like every result occasioned by a violent and short-lived stimulus, could only be temporary, and it was so. In the year 1832 the stimulus was less than in the former year, though the excitement was even in that year considerable, and the amount of stamp duty fell, but still was greater than in any year since, be cause the excitement has become gradually leSs and less. In the present year, indeed, a desperate attempt has been made to excite the public mind against the House of Lords, but it preserves that mortifying apathy which is not calculated either to promote the ob jects of the Government, or increase the circulation of Newspapers. It is a fact, however, rather unfortunate for Mr. Spring Rice's argument of a continually de clining circulation, that the amount of Newspaper stamp duty rose last year above that ,of 1834, from 441,000/. to 455,0001. This shows, in our opinion, that the decrease from the great reform excitement of 1831 had reached its lowest point, and that, in spite of the connivance of the Government at the violation of the law by the unstamped Press, an increase in the,eircula tion of stamped Newspapers had begun. Mr. GOOlburn, however, adopted a fairer mode of calculating the increase or decrease in the circulation of stamped Newspapers than Mr. Spring Rice. He took periods of five years, which cover a sufficiently large space of time to prevent erroneous conclusions being drawn from the accidental influence of temporary excitement. Now, adopting this more reasonable basis of calculation, which we have generally adopted in our statistical tables relative to the operation of the criminal laws, he showed that there has been on the whole a❑ in crease rather than a decrease in the amount of News paper stamp.duties—the average of the five years end ing in 1830 being 413,0001, while the average of the five years ending in 1835 was 464,0001. Mr. Goul burn, to prove that the great increase in the circulation of Newspapers in the year 1831 was owing to the extra dinary excitement caused by the Reform Bill, instanced another very extraordinary rise which had taken place in the year 1813,- when Bonaparte's Russian cam paign raised the pliblic curiosity-and excitement to the highest pitch. He stated that in that year the Stamp Duty rose to 394,0001., which was greater than it had ever been before, and fell in the succeeding year down to 363,000/.—a reduction nearly equivalent to that which took place between 1831 and 1831, and greater than that which occurred between 1831 and 1835. These statements, to use a legal phrase, put the Chan cellor of the Exchequer out of Court. They left him without a leg to stand upon, as far as his proposed re duction of the Newspaper Stamp Duty was founded upon an alleged continued decrease in the amount of that branch of the revenue. There are other impor tant topics embraced in Mr. Goulburn's speech, which we shall advert to on resuming this important subject to-morrow.—Morning Herald. The stories which have been current during the last few days, respecting a progation and dissolution of Parliament, are wholly without foundation. For a dis solution, with not only a majority in the Commons, but an increasing majority, there is searcely the shadow of a reason ; while, with regard to a prorogation, wha would be the use of it ? There are many important, questions before the House upon which the public ought not to be left in suspense ; and though the Session will, in all probability, be cut short of its lately most unconscionable lengths, it would be to too much to the discredit of the Government to dream for a moment that it would allow the Legislature to separate without recording its opinions upon them. :The reduction of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers is a settled affair ; and so, also, we believe, it the Eng lish Tithe Bill, as now amended. As to the Irish Corporation and the Irish Church Bills—there is no hope for them. The Lords, with the greatest anxiety for the welfare of Ireland, have determined not to ap propriate them.—Morning Advertiser. We trust that the debate and division of Monday night in the House of Commons will show the pow erful opposition in that House how much may be gained by active and strenuous interference upon mat- ers of practical detail. Two or three more such victories as that of Ministers on Monday night, and they would be left to that leisure from official cares which we trust would be as beneficial to their health as we are sure it would - • - - be to the health of the State. They were conspicuously beaten in a plain practical argument, wherein they were supporters of a reduction of the duty on News papers, while their opponents contended in preference for a reduction of the duty on soap. In such a ques tion the political prejudices of the people out of deOrs are less apt to lead them astray than upon some other questions which have been made the subject of trials of strength in the House of Commons. We therefore expect a more impartial judgment than usual upon the debate of Monday night, and a consequent conviction that in the argument the Ministers had by much the worst of it. As to the division, they who are most familiar with Par liamentary matters can best tell how very like a dffeat a majority of only thirty-three must be considered upon a question of this sort, and in a House of 450 Mem bers present. We are very well satisfied that Minis ters contemplated the division with equal surprise and mortification. We have no doubt that when Mr. S. Rice observed the number of the minority, he changed the tone of his former exclamation, and with do lorous expiration, repeated to himself, " So much for soap ! The Right Honourable Gentleman evidently exerted himself to make a good speech uoim the occasion, and to tell the honest truth, he did not make a bad one. It was a subject level to his capa city, and though we are not quite sure that, as far as soap was concerned, he took a very lively personal interest in thAnatter, yet, as an eager and not unintel ligent promoter of the " diffusion of knowledge" cant, he probably felt himself upon his mettle, and exerted himself to the utmost. But how short-lived was his. triumph, and how shabby the means of obtaining it ! Mr. Goulburn's reply showed up such a tissue of dis ingenuousness as even an opponent cannot, without some degree of shame, remember to have been dis played by a man in the high office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. One by one were the Right Honourable Gentleman's statements examined, and overthrown, by showing that he had either suppressed something of which he could not but have been aware, or added something not fairly connected with the matter in hand, which made his representation the opposite of ' • which should be relied upon. He had made it appear that his case rested upon a variety of separate arguments, and then he had taken up a triumphant tone, expressing his joy that he had an opportunity of showirg how well-rounded was his proposition, and how ill-founded the opposition to it. He had talked himself into a strange elevation of confidence, " Composed of many ingredient valours. Just like the manhood of nine tailors." But we may well judge how it oozed away, as Mr. Goulburn plucked the feathers from his oration, and exhibited it in all the ugly bareness of mere misrepre sentation. Why did not Mr. Rice say that his theory respecting the ill effects, or the absence of good effect, to be expected from the reduction of tl uty on Soap was directly at variance with the opinion o the Com missioners of Revenue Inquiry ? Why did he plead the temptation to breach of the law occasioned by the high duty on Newspapers, and wholly omit to notice the palpable operation of that very principle exhibited in the non-diminished illicit manufacture of Soap ? Why did he not notice that where the falling off in the consumption of Soap appeared to have taken place it was particularly evident that it could not have really taken place, and that the smuggler must have been increasing his supply, in consequence of the still-existing temptation to illicit manufacture ? Why did he not allow that though a slight increase upon the consumption of legally-manufactured soap had taken place, yet that in those localities where the smuggler was most likely to be at work, namely, in the large towns, it had (apparently, and so far as the re venue or consumption was concerned) decreased ? Well might Mr. Goulburn use the expression " un fairness" with reference to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's assertion that the duty on Newspapers was a decreasing one—a statement upon which he principally founded the argument for its reduction. It had manifestly, he said, gone beyond the legi timate amount, for its produce was decreasing ; and the way he took to prove this was by going back to -1831, a time, as everybody may remember, of extraordinary excitement ; when political aitation, by the press or by public speaking, was the only thing which flourished and did well—he goes back to that year for a standard of comparison, wholly omitting to say that upon the average the duty was increasing, and that last year the duty was considerably better than the year before. Mr. Goulburn showed that by going back fifteen years from the present time, and taking the average of three periods of five years each, there had been in each period a progressive and considerable increase. Such criticism as this might be extended much further ; but we have said enough to show that the argument against preferring a reduction of the duty on Soap, in which Mr. S. Rice seems to have thought himself so very successful, was wholly fallacious, and that not from any mistake in the reasoning, bu: from a mis-statement of the facts upon which the argument wasbuilt—a mis-statement which it requires a very redundant charity to believe could have been either the result of misinformation or mis- understanding. As to the argument founded on the impos,sibility of preventing the manufacture and sale of illicit Newspapers, as the law stands, it is difficult for any observation to answer it better than the. ar- gument answers itself. It is admitted that the manu factuiers and vendors of that contraband trash— which is not less pernicious in itself than daringly unlawful in its defiance of the Stamp-Office, are by no means disposed to submit to the reduced duty. Now every word which Mr. Rice said, in urging the impossibility of checking the illicit trade, as the law stands, will with equal force apply when the law is changed, provided these daring delinquents, whom, it seems, the Government of Great Britain is unable to conquer, continue to prefer a contraband to a lawful trade. They say, or at least Live every reason to be lieve (and we have no fear of their falling in this respect), that they will equally defy a penny duty, as they have hitherto defied the present duty. If the whole of. Mr. Rice's statement, then, about the impos sibility of putting them down be not a delusion—a picture coloured up for the occasion—the new law will not abate one atom of the nuisance complained of under the present law.

CONSERVATIVE DINNER.—On Saturday evening the annual Conservative Din ner on th e ann i versar y o f the - Battle of Waterloo was held in the Hopetoun Rooms, Edin burgh. There were about 300 gentlemen present. Professor Wilson was in the chair. After several speeches and toasts, " The Land of Cakes" was finally given from the chair. The meeting then, at about 11 o'clock, broke up. The speeches, dinner, and wines, gave great satisfaction to the company assembled on the occasion. A detachment of the London swell mob attended the Commemoration at Oxford last week ; their depredations at the concert on Wednesday in the Town-ball were pretty considerable. A correspondent of the Cork Herald (himself pro bably an Irishman) describes " the London tradesmen, and individuals who call themselves merchants, as a rery low-lived rate of people ; men who would ask you to dine with them at one o'clock, and give you gin to drink after." _ - --- - A shocking accident happened at Ore, near Hast ings, on Friday last. As a man with his son was going to Battle, in a cart, the boy fell out, and the father, endeavour ing to save him, also fell, and the cart passing over both, killed the youth, and severely injured the father. THE MEMBER'S SNUFF-BOX. —A case was de cided in the Sheriff Small Debt Court, Paisley, on Thursday. hich may prove of some use to snuff-box presentationists. The case is this :—ln January last a very handsome snuff-box of cooper work, composed of 326 pieces of variegated orna mental wood, was presented to our late Member, by Mr. John 'relfer, a handy and ingenious cooper in town. In presenting it he was accompanied by a gentleman of liberal principles, who had suggested the presentation. The unexpected results of the presentation were " No returns," two very annoying words to manufacturers of any description of articles. The gentleman applied to two of the leading men of his party to head a remunerating subscription, but the Member had somehow or other lost favour with them, and the consequence was a direct rebuff. The workman said, " Pay me for my box; " the suggestor of the presenta tion said "No ;" and an appeal to the Sheriff Court followed. The object of the pursuer was to show, by affidavit and evidence, that he had all along been given to expect pay ment by subscription or otherwise: while the defender, on his part, declared that his only object in recommending the pre sentation was to benefit the maker, by assisting to bring his ingenuity into public notice. When the maker of the box de murred to the incurring of the expense of an inscription, he said that sooner than see the box want one, Le would see that expense paid, but more than that he had never promised. The case was before the Court on Thursday week, and adjourned until Thursday last, when the Sheriff, after weighing the es i dence adduced, and taking the oath of the pursuer, as to his expectations, decerned the defender to pay 21. as the price of the box, with expenses. The defender immediately paid the money in Court. —Paisley Advertiser.
