The chief object of this Company is the assurance of invalid lives e; n a novel and equitable principle, which, while affording to the (Alice and ample pronts, offers to the assured advantages unattainable finder the ordinary system. This will be effected under one of the following plans : : Assurance will be granted to doubtful lives for a fixed sum, he on may bae paid off by such low yearly instalments as may su it enience of the parties. 2 ' The Society to insure invalids at rates fairly and equitably, thei r i o l s ortioned to the idea entertained of the p robable duration of n„ s _ liv as ; and if the assured l i ve be y ond such period (the term in aes to be admitted ou the policy) , t hen the extra p remiums anal: an :: altogether cease, and the premiums p a y able as a healthy assur , of the age when they first entered, alone be continued.

W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions from the Proprietor to offer for SALE by AUCTION, at the New Bell Inn, Spalding, in the month of January, in Lots, The ALBION BREWERY, situate in Double-street, Spaitling, comprising a convenient residence (occupied by Mr. Proctor, who has the management of the concern), a paved yard inclosed from the street by folding gates, in which is the brewhouse, with tun rooms and extensive malt and hop chambers, counting-house. cooper's shop, and cask sheds. Across the lane leading to the river is a spacious store room, large yard approached from Albert ' street by tolding gates, an excellent malthouse with l 6.quarter steep, two working floors, kiln, and screening room, with barley chambers of ample dimensions. waggon and dray shed, coal-house, &c. ; also a well-house, in which is a well affording an abundant supply of excellent water to the brewery and malthouse. These buildings are brick-built and slated, and in a very perfect state of repair; they possess a commanding frontage of nearly 260 feet to the river Welland, which communicates with Stamford, and is navigable to the sea, thus the property must always be exceedingly valuable from their great extent and the facilities afforded by the cheap transit of water carriage, and the brewery buildings and yard at a very moderate outlay might be rendered available for any other mercantile business ; together with twenty-five inns, public and beer houses, &c., situate in Spalding, Pinchbeck, Gosberton, Donington, Thurlby, Weston, Moulton, Whaplode, Holbeach, Fleet,The property will be sold in lots, and particulars may be had in due time, of Messrs.

The highest tide known for the last twent y -five years occurred on Thursday night and yesterday morning, and we are sorry to state that the destruction of property on both sides of the river has been enormous. The wind was N. W. during the whole day, and towards night it increased considerably, and acting upon a spring tide, T „;:ed an immense body of water up the river. Unfor tunatnii ,`:7 the inhabitants of the water-side premises, the tine Thi: commence flowing until night had set in, and as it continues: rising for six hours, some time before it had reached its height, th the river had retired to rest in fancied security, ose living near to conse quently they were wholly unprepalfd to resist the irruption of the water, which poured into the basement floors and cellars of houses not merely contigas . ms to the river, but in many parts the river overflowed its banks to the extent of some hundreds of yards. The scene that presented itself from London-bridge to Hammer smith, when daylight broke, was most disheartening. The publicans in Thames-street, Bankside, and so on to Westminster and Lambeth, had thei r cellars filled with water. In every instance the butts and p u ncheons of beer and spirits were floating about , and in a very many instances they had been staved in by th e violent motion of the water. The Commercial-road, Lambeth, and flit Belvidere-road were all under water, and in the latter roads the cellars were filled. Searle's, the boat-builder's, premises, the Glass-house, and the wharfs between the latter place and Bishop's-walk, were flooded to tl - ea depth of several feet. The road to Lambeth church was impassable. The tide reached under the gates of the Archbishop's Palace, filling the gardens and approaches to the house. In Fore-street, High-street, and Ferry-street, the li censed victuallers and others have sustained great losses, and the landlady of the Duke's Head, in Fore-street, es timates her loss at 200/. Two children who were sleep ing in a kitchen in High-street were all but drowned, and the damage done to the scanty furniture of the poor people living in the district is very great. At Vauxhall, the force of the water threw down the wall facingthe em bankment of Brunswick -gardens, and the goods' premises of the South-Wesaern Railway Company were all under water. A girl in the se: nice of Mr. Noyes, the manager of the posting department 01' the South-Western Rail way, who resides in Belmont-plat;:.'; Wandsworth-road, was taken out of the kitchen, in which ;he slept, by her master in an inanimate state, and for some iLree no signs of animation presented themselves. It seas evident to the medical gentlemen who were called in, that it few minutes would have decided her fate, and at the present time she is in a very precarious state. A large wall enclosing the Ranelagh estate adjoining the Royal Hos pital was thrown down, and the tide having free ingress extended many hundred yards inland, and. uniting with the Grosvenor Canal, overflowed a great part of Pimlico. Battersea marshes were one immense sheet of water, a circumstance that has not occurred for the last twenty five years. The village of Battersea was completely flooded, and Mr. Lintell, of the Old Swan, is a sufferer to an alarming extent. On the Chelsea side, the tides covered the grounds of Cremorne House and reached the King's-road. Sir Edward East's beautiful grounds at Battersea were sadly despoiled, and the great portion of the fencing was torn up. At Wandsworth the tide did excessive damage. Mr. Pearce, the landlord of the Wa terman's Arms, is a loser to the extent of probably 100/. The White Horse and the Feathers were likewise flooded, the water positively putting the fires out in the parlours and taproom. At the latter house a man had to row in a boat down lisp yard to the styes, to rescue the pigs. The poor people he:llz at the river side had the water in their houses to theldef,;h of three 'and four feet. In many instances it forced up thO flooring. The churchwardens and overseers, we were glad to observe, did their best to alleviate the sufferings of these poor people by giving them tickets for bread and coal, wiiSeh were most gratefully received. The malt-house of Messrs. Bradley had two feet water in it ; and the Lower Mill, belonging to Messrs. Watney and Wills, was flooded to the depth of eighteen inches, and some hundreds of sacks of flour have been spoilt. About ninety quarters of oats were also wetted. On the Richmond Railway works the timber was driven about in all directions, and the dams, &c., were filled with water. The tide influencing the Wandie, caused the latter to rise to an almost unpre cedented extent. At Putney the tide committed great ravages, and so great was the body of water in the cellar of the Bell Tavern, that Mr. Ayes, the landlord, was obliged to em ploy the parish engine. At Fulham the water rose so high that the Bishop of London's grounds were flooded, and the churchyard was under water. The fires on the ground floor of' the Swan were extinguished, and the water flowed to the King's Arms, a distance of a quarter of a mile. Immense quantities of timber and casks were floated away. Our correspondents at Rochester and Greenwich state that the high tide was as remarkable down the river as it was above the bridge. At the Royal Hospital, Green - wich, the whole of the wharf frontage was two feet under water. Church-street, which leads from the Waterman's Floating Pier to the centre of the town, was, one-half the distance, under water about two feet ; the warehouses along-shore inundated, and much injury done to the property in the lower apartments, and some hundreds of poor families, whose sleeping-rooms are on the ground floor, were alarmed by the rush of water into their rooms. At Deptford-bridge, which is a long way from the river, the lower warehouses of Messrs. Cobbett and Co., extensive floor-cloth manufacturers and dealers in carpeting, were under water, and a considerable quantity of goods injured, so as to become unsaleble. The ex tensive steam flour mills of Messrs. Carpenter, situated on Deptford Creek, suffered greatly. The engine-room, boiler, Esc., being deluged, the fires of course extin guished, and the machinery extensively damaged. At Rochester - after nine o'clock, the waters of the Medway were observed to be rushing upwards with a force never before witnessed there, and the greater part of the High-street, of Strood, was soon under water, and a twenty feet boat with three persons in it, was seen rowing about where the passengers, only a few minutes before, had passed dry shod. The damage has been im mense. In many places the river has burst its bounds, and the marshes are flooded in every direction. The gardens and cultivated grounds in the neighbourhood which hare been flooded by the salt water, will be long before they recover from its injurious effects. Fortu nately it was a moonlight night, and much stock was hastily driven to places of safety. The gas works were under water, and the lighting of the town was suspended. We have received from another reporter the following account of the disasters occasioned by the high tide on each side of the river below London-bridge. At mid night, the sudden rushing of the waters over the embank ments of the Thames, and through the wharfs and al leys leading into the streets, aroused the inhabitants from their slumbers. A great many persons were saved in Wapping, Shadwell, the numerous courts and allel s leading out of Bankside, and other places, by the activity of the police, and those of the Thames division were very assiduous in saving people's lives, and drag ging them through the flood to places of safety. For an hour before the time named in the calendar for high water, the river was several inches above the usual level, and it continued to flow with a velocity which astonished the oldest waterman and lighterman, until five minutes after one o'clock yesterday morning, an hour beyond the time named for high water et London-bridge, when the tide was one inch higher at St. Katherine's Dock gates than it was in November, 1841, when a similar disastrous visitation occurred. The water rushed through the streets with irresistible fury, and the cellars, kitchens, parlours, and shops of the inhabitants were soon filled. The eruption of the tide was so sudden that people were obliged to leave their dwellings in haste, and wade through the water to higher :ground. At Blackwell there was a large space of ground covered with water. The extensive factory of Messrs. Ditch burn and Mard, the iron steamboat manufacturers, on both sides of Bow creek, was overflowed, and the materials used in their business sustained great damage. The firm were obliged to suspend operations and give their men a holiday yes terday, until things were put in order. In the Prince Albert and Orchard House Taverns, near the factory, the water was four feet deep in the principal rooms on the ground floor, and the loss of spirits, ale, and beer in the cellars of each house is estimated at 1501. The High street, Wapping, from the Tunnel to Union-stairs, ap peared like a canal, and boats were plying backwards and forwards, receiving the tradesmen, shopkeepers, and others, or carrying passengers from one end of the street to the other. Those who did not reach home before twelve in this neighbourhood were obliged to remain out all night, or else avail themselves of the boats to reach their dwellings. The casks and barrels in the Watermen's Arms public-house, at Wapping New stairs, were floating about the cellars, and as the water rose they lifted the flooring, broke down the bar, and made a partial wreck of the place. The landlord, Mr. Wasmuth, estimates his l oss at ay. A similar disaster took place at the Ship, Execution Dock, kept by Mr. Vincent, and at sever al other houses of public entertain ment on the banks of the river. Shortly before one o'clock the sc reams of a family living in one of the small tenements in Cross-alley, near Gun-dock, iaduced some of the Thames police to attempt a rescue, and a woman and four children were taken oat of an apart ment into which the water had penetrated. The family had a narrow escape. In R . otherhithe and *Bermondsey there was a great quantity of corn spoiled in the granaries. The deposit of mud and slime, left on the receding of the tide, did more damage to grain, perishable goods on the wharfs, and furniture, than the waters of the Thames. The water was six feet in depth yesterday morning, at half-past twelve o'clock, in Upper Ground-street, and a street leading out of it called Boddy's-bridge, near Messrs. Hawes' soap manufactory. The Commercial-road, Pedlar's-acre, a great portion of the Belvidere-road, and the numerous timber wharfs in the vicinity, were under water ; and when the tide ebbed, large piles and deals were carried out into the steam. Business was sus pended at many of the wharfs during the whole of y.e terday. At daybreak the ravages of the flood were visi ble in all directions, and pumps were in requ i si tion by T the owners of long-shore property to r get rid of the ele ment which did so much damage. he Tower-wharf, Bankside, the Bishop's-walk, L a mbeth, the Battersea meadows, and the low parts of Westminster were a'so ov erflowed. A curious sc ene occurred in the neigh bourhood of Bankside. The tide penetrated the sewers, and dislodged numer ous colonies of rats, which were h un ted by dogs amid st the clamorous vociferations of their owners, which added to the general confusion w hi c h prevailed. The wind abated after this visitation, and fortunately the tide of yesterday afternoon did not rise above the ordinary level, although the moon was at the full in the evening. Additional embankments on both shores are much required to prevent loss of pro perty by extraordinary high tides. FALMOUTH.—An invitat . ;.

'" A course of conduct so suitable to your Highness's exalted sti llest, and so well calculated to pro Mote the prosperity of your do tninions, and the happiness of your people, as that which you have wisely and uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour on your character, has imparted to our minds the feelings of unqualified satisfaction and pleasure. The liberality, also, which you have dis played in executing at your own cost various public works of great utility, and which has so justly raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, givos you an additional claim to our approation, respect, and applause. ' Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Directors of the East India Company have unanimously resolved to transmit to you a sword, which will be presented to you through the Government of India, and which, we trust, you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high esteem and regard. "'With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we subscribe ourselves, in the name of the Court, " Your Highness'4 most faithful friends, " W. S. CLARKE, ,Chairman, " J. R. CARNAC, Deputy.' "And whereas, in 1836, Certain enemies of his Highness the Raja of f3attarn did conspire to effect the ruin and dethronement of that Prince, by preferring false charges against him to the Bombay Government ; " And whereas, when these charges, and the evidence In support of them, had been forwarded to the Court of Directors, and had been considered by them, it. was the decided opinion of that body that it was not only a waste of time, but seriously detrimental to the cha racter of the Government, to carry on any further inquiry into the matter; " And whereas this opinion was communicated to the Government of Bombay and, the Government of India, in dispatches from the Court of Direcaors, dated respectively the 13th June, 1838, and the 20th January, 1839 ; " And wh ereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, on his appointment to the office of. Governor of Bombay, received no instructions from the Court of Directors to dethrone, or otherwise to punish, the Raja of Sattarn, but, on the contrary, was empowered to suppress all fur ther inquiry into the charges that had been made against the Raja, and to consign the matter to entire oblivion; " And whereas Sir James Carnac did, in a minute, recorded by hint on the 19th June, 1839, propose that the Resident of Sattara should be instructed to assure his Highness of the desire of the Bri tish Government to maintain the relatioes of amity with him ; and did further declare, That the British Government had notking to fear from the Baja, and could afford to act with generosity;' " And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac did, at a personal inter view with the Raja, on the 23d August, 1839, inform his Highness that three important violations of the Treaty had been proved against him— " Ist. Of the sth Article, in having, during a series of years, held improper communications with the Goa authorities ; " 2d. Of the same Article, in having held a clandestine intercourse with Appa Sahib, the ex-Raja of Nagpoor ; " 3d. Of having tampered with the native officers of the 23d Regi ment Native Infantry ; " And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, did, at a subsequent in terview, on the 27th August, peremptorily require the Raja to sign certain articles, to which the following preamble was affixed, viz.:— " Information having been received by the British Government that your Highness, innled by evil advisers, bad, in breach of the Treaty which placed you on the throne, entered into communications hostile to the British Government, an inquiry into these accusations was considered indispensable. This inquiry has satisfied the British Government that your Highness hasnxposed yourself to the sacrifice of its alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved ay considerations of eensency towards your Highness - and your family, the British Go venment has resolved entirely to overlook what has passed on the following conditions, namely, Sac. Enc.; " And whereas the Raja of Salters did, at these interviews, de i dare his entire and absolute innocence, and earnestly implare per mission to be heard in reply to the charges which Ms enemies had brought against him, and in refutation of the evidence in support of them; and did ano express his willingness to submit to any con ditions which did not require him to abandon his religion, or to ac knowledge, in violation of his conscience, that he had been the enemy of the British Government ; " And whereas, for the sole reason of having refused to sign the articles and preamble submitted to him, he was, on the sth of Sep tember, 1839, and by the authority of Sir James Carnac, forcibly taken a prisoner and dethroned, and a proclamation issued by the Resident, declaring his brother, Appa Sahib (his bitter enemy), the Rajah of Sattara ; " And whereas, by the 3d Geo. 111., chap. 52, sec. 43, it is enacted that ' It shall not be lawful for the Government of Bombay, &c., to make or issue any order for commencing hostilities, or levying war, or to negotiate or conclude any treaty with any Indian prince or state (except in cases of sudden emergency or imminent danger, when it shall appear dangerous to postpone such hostilities or treaty), unless in pursuance of express orders from the Governer- General in Council, or from the Secret Committee, by the au thority of the Board of Control ;' " And whereas it is further enacted, in section 42 of the same Act, that It shall not be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, without the express command and authority of the Court of Di rectors, or of the Secret Committee, by the authority of the Board of Control, in any case (except where hostilities have actually been commenced, or preparations actually made for the commencement of boenlities, against the British nation in India), either to declare war or commence hostilities, or enter into any treaty for making war, Stc.;' Resolved—That the dethronement of his Highness Pertaub Shinau, the ex-Raja of Sattara, under the circumstances now set forth, was a violation of the above statute, and was, therefore, an illegal net.

A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys ef the river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the flne mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum bu been recently expended in valuable im provements.

Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper made the following review : " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well.known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'" The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat ters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much perhaps as any man in his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in. vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un impeachable." JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. NATIONAL. BANK OF IRELAND.

The next charge imputed to Mr. Loftus, that, on a day shortly before Christmas, 1843, he and Henry Twiddy accompanied a woman of ill-fame, named Mary Foreman, in Boston, Lincolnshire, to her residence, a common brothel; that they passed that night there, each with a common prostitute ; that Mrs. Foreman, at the express instance of Mr. Loftus, hired or engaged two prostitutes, named Jemima Cross and Sarah Warsop, of Boston, to enter his service in the ostensible capacities of housemaid and cook; that these two women accordingly went to the vicarage house at Fincham, in December, 1843; and that, during the time they remained in his service, Mr. Loftus and Twiddy, with Mr. Loftus's privity, had habitually criminal inter course with them, and committed adultery, or fornica tion. Upon this charge, Mrs. Foreman had been examined, and she proved her meeting with Mr. Loftus and Twiddy in Boston, their visit to her house, their sleeping at it with two womem, the wish expressed to her by Mr. Loftus that she would engage two women for him as cook and housemaid; and that, in accordance with a letter from Twiddy, she sent Cross and Warsop to Fincham. Cross, one of these women, of the age of 19 or 20, had also been examined, and proved that she was hired by Airs. Foreman, that she proceeded to Fincham, and that the evening of their arrival at the vicarage Mr. Loftus came down to the pantry, where they were, and said to Twiddy, "Remember, Henry, I am to have the housemaid (Cross), and you the cook ( Warsop)." She further stated, that for the first month she slept with Mr. Loftus, and after that with Twiddy It had been said that this story was so improbable that it destroyed the credit of the witness; that it was inconceivable that a gentleman in the position of Mr. Loftus, with so high a character, should have been guilty of such an atrocious act; and at first blush it did appear to be most improbable and scarcely to be believed. But this story did not de pend upon the single testimony of the woman Cross, for the other woman, Susan Warsop, had been examined, and she, though actuated by feelings favourable to Mr. Loftus, confirmed the evidence of Mrs. Foreman as to the hiring of these two women, as well as that of Cross as to what took place on their arrival at the vicarage. She admitted that :she had been connected with Twiddy, but she refused to answer the question whether she had had carnal connexion with Mr. Loftus. Upon this point, therefore, she did net affirmatively corroborate the testi mony of Cross, who stated that when she began to sleep with Twiddy there was an interchange of night com panions, and that Warsop slept with Mr. Loftus; but she did not contradict Cross upon this point, and upon other points she confirmed her. Here, therefore, were two girls, one 19 or 20, the other 22 or 23, hired by the keeper of a brothel, admitted into the parsonage house of Mr. Loftus, the incumbent of a parish, with whom he and his butler were cohabiting, his family then consisting only of these women, Twiddy, and Emanuel, a page. For a fort night after the arrival of these two women, Mr. Balls, the curate of Mr. Loftus, resided in the house ; but at the end of a fortnight Mr. Balls quitted the house, for what raason did not appear. Now, it was a most ex traordinary circumstance, that Mr. Balls, the curate of the parish, who had actually resided in the parsonage house whilst these women were there, and was so com petent to give evidence, had not been examined by Mr. Loftus in support of his allegation as to character ; for he would have been a most important witness to show the propriety of the conduct of Mr. Loftus at this time. There was another important circumstance. It appeared that about Christmas, 1843, Twiddy, and the women Cross and Warsop were infected with a loathsome disease, for which they were attended by a medical person, Mr. Gent. Mr. Loftus could not have been ignorant of this fact, and, therefore, it was established, that a person in holy orders, the rector of a parish, allowed these three persons to remain in his service after he knew they were all infected with this dis ease. From the interrogatories, it did not appear that Mr. Loftus himself was infected, and it had been argued that this fact afforded a presumption that Cross's story was altogether untrue. But the interrogatories had been expressly confined to the three persons, Twiddy, Cross, and Warsop, and the medical witness stated that he did not attend Mr. Loftus at this time. Although, there fore, there was no affirmative evidence to show that Mr. Loftus participated in this disease, there was nothing in this absence of proof which contradicted the evidence of Cross. But what happened in March, 1844? Cross was, or considered herself to be pregnant, and she had recourse to some medicine to procure a miscarriage, or an abortion ; and, although he (the Learned Judge) believed that Mr. Loftus was not privy to this act, he knew of the fact after the result had taken place, and yet when, owing to the scandal her case had created Cross was obliged to be discharged from his service, he gave her the following certificate:—" Fincham Rectory, Downham-market, March 21, 1844.—Jemima Cross has lived with me about five months, and is honest and un derstands the duties of housemaid; she left from the situation being too much for her strength.—Arthur Loftus." Was this proper conduct on the part of a person like Mr. Loftus, who could not be ignorant of the real facts? But this was not all. When Cross was discharged, another girl, Maria Ward, was hired to replace her, by the intervention of the same Mrs. Foreman, the keeper of the brothel at Boston. Unless Mr. Loftus was a per fect idiot he could not have suffered himself to be so blinded as to the real character of these persons. It had been suggested that all these charges were the result of a conspiracy, in which the wife of Mr. Loftus and other parties had engaged, in order to procure a sentence of divorce against him by reason of his adultery. But where was the proof of anything like conspiracy ? Some parts of the case were in themselves extremely impro bable, but when considered with reference to other parts, and the whole res gest(' proved beyond all doubt, the improbability yaaished. The occurrences at Mr. Loftus's own house took away the improbability of the transac tions elsewhere, which the Court could not treat as mere inventions. But what took place in September, 1844 ? The Bishop of the diocese, being informed of the conduct of Mr. Loftus, sent for him, and, according to Mr. Loftus's own acknowledgment to Mr. Arthey, he expressed to the Bishop his hope that he would be lenient towards him, and allow him 2001. a year out of his living. Mr. Loftus, moreover, applied to Mr. Arthey for the certificate he had promised to give him, to the effect that the criminal indulgence he bad been charged with was requisite in his state of health. It was unfor tunate that Mr. Loftus had carried this suggestion, given, as Mr. Arthey says, half in joke, to an extent which that gentleman had never intended. It had been urged in behalf of Mr. Loftus, that a good character, such as he had received, should weigh in a doubtful case ; but this was not to his (the Learned Judge's) mind a doubtful case ; there was no doubt in his mind that the facts had completely established most profligate conduct on the part of Mr. Loftus ; that the articles had been most fully and substantially proved ; and it had been admitted that, if proved, nothing short of a sentence of deprivation would be adequate to meet the justice of the case. lie (the Learned Judge) had, therefore no hesitation in pronouncing that Mr. Loftus had incurred the penalty of deprivation of whatever preferment he possessed, either in the diocese of Norwich or elsewhere in the province of Canterbury, and he condemned him in the costs of the proceedings. He directed the sentence to be announced in the usual manner on Sunday week, the 21st December. The Proctor for Mr. Loftus prayed that the sentence might not issue till after 14 days, in order that he might appeal. It was afterwards decided, in conformity with the case of Dr. Free, that the sentence should be signed (which was done), and ordered to be transmitted to the regis trar of the diocese, but not to issue till 15 days ; and that it be not published till Sunday, the 28th December.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec.l2. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in London, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.) CHANCELLOR V SAMBROOK. This was an action on the case for injuries done to a valuable horse, to which the defendant had pleaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Humfray and Mr. Woolrych for the de fendant. The plaintiff was the well-known proprietor of the omnibuses running between Brompton and the City, and the defendant a coal merchant, carrying on business at the Arundel Wharf, Arundel-street. The transaction which gave rise to the present action occurred on the 24th of April last. About two o'clock on that day one of the plaintiff's omnibuses was travelling from the City towards the West-end, and met with no interruption or accident till it came to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, when the driver, observing that a waggon was coming up Arundel-street, and intending to proceed in a contrary direction, drew up close to the pavement immediately opposite the Crown and Anchor in the Strand, to give the waggon ample room to pass. The waggon, how ever, which was afterwards found to be the property of the defendant, turned so sharply round the come; of Arundel-street and the Strand, that the wheels grazed the lamp-post, then ran against the pole of the omnibus, and finally passed over the hoof of the off horse draw ing the omnibus, inflicting injuries that ultimately re sulted in the death of the animal. It was to recover damages for the loss the plaintiff had sustained by this accident that the present action was brought. Evidence having been adduced to prove these facts, Mr. HIIIIFRIT addressed the jury for the defendant, and afterwards called a number of witnesses to prove that the accident would not have happened bad the driver of the omnibus exercised due and ordinary caution in the conduct of his vehicle and horses. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the occurrence was an unavoidable accident. ARCHES' COURT, Dec. 12. %wag OFFICE OP THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY CLARKE AGAINST HEATHCOTE. This was a proceeding against a clergyman named Heathcote, who had been convicted of an attempt to commit a certain offence, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. He had given an affirmative issue to the articles exhibited against him in this Court (that is, he had pleaded guilty), and the sentence stood over, in order to ascertain whether this Court had power to degrade, the counsel for the promoter pressing for a sentence to that extent. Dr. PIIILLIMORE (with whom was Dr. R. Phillimore) —who had argued that the Judge of this Court, as offi cial Principal or Dean of the Arches, could inflict de gradation—now admitted that he could find no prece dent, and suggested that it was a fit case for the Court, under the 122 d canon, to invoke the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, to pronounce the sentence. The form of the sentence porrected in this case was founded upon the only instance that could be found in this Court or the Consistory Court—namely, Johnson's case, in 1692, when three bishops had pronounced the sentence, in the absence of the then Bishop of London, who was under suspension at the time. In that case the party was deprived of his orders, and reduced to a layman. Sir H. JENNER FUST—Under the ancient canon law, six bishops were required to deprive a clerk of his offi cium. If this is to be a case of degradation from orders, it is a very different thing from depriving of office. I am not prepared to say that, if the Court should be of opinion that it is a case for degradation, there should not be a certain number of bishops present. I am, however, of opinion that in this case justice will be satisfied by deposing this gentleman from the ministry, and the Court would be entitled to pro nounce that sentence of itself. If you correct a sentence to that extent—namely, deposing him from the ministry —that is depriving him of authority to officiate—l will sign it. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY KITSON AGAINST LOFTUS. Sir 11. JENNER FUST gave his sentence in this case, in which the office of the judge had been promoted by the registrar of the diocese of Norwich against the Rev. Arthur Loftus, vicar of the united vicarage of Fincham St. Marton, and rectory of Fincham St. Michael, and also vicar of the vicarage and parish church of Holehton, otherwise llelhoug,hton, with the vicarage of Rainham St. Martin annexed, all in the county of Norfolk. The case came before this Court by letters of request from the Bishop of Norwich, and the articles (which the Learned Judge read in detail) in substance charged Mr. Loftus with frequenting houses of ill-fame ; having intercourse with prostitutes ; hiring women of that description as domestic servants, and, whilst retaining them in his service, having carnal inter course with them. In his defensive allegation ho had denied these charges altogether. It could not be doubted, the Learned Judge observed, that the offences imputed to Mr. Loftus were exceedingly grave, and, if proved by credible testimony, it had been admitted on all hands, that nothing short of deprivation would be a sufficient censure to be inflicted upon him. It unfortunately hap pened in these cases, that the witnesses produced in sup port of the charges were mostly persons of bad character, upon whom the Court could not place implicit reliance, coming as they did to confess their own infamy ; but they were competent witnesses by law, and the Court was not at liberty to reject their testimony, though it must look carefully to see how far their testimony was credible per se, and how far it was confirmed by the evidence of other witnesses, or by the general circumstances of the case. It had been argued, that in a case like this, the unblemished character which Mr. Loftus had enjoyed up to the spring of 1844, according to the testi mony of eleven or twelve gentlemen, including clergy men, magistrates, and Members of Parliament, ought to have great weight; and undoubtedly tkose gentlemen had deposed that they never had a suspicion or surmise unfavourable to his moral character, and that he was a Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re• person least likely, in their estimation, to be guilty of the gistered Paletot to suit the ever-varied nature of our climate, acts acts with which he was charged.
