(Sittings in Banco, at Westminster, befure Lord CAMP BELL, and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and WIGIITMAN.) • DE PORQUET V. BERRY. Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court hr this case this morning. He said the question was Whether, under the 9thand 10th Vie., cap. 99, sec. 128, the cause of action arose wholly or in some material part Within the jurisdiction of the Waltham County Court. The Court was of opinion that no part of it arose within the jurisdiction of that court. The facts were these. The defendant, residing at Nasing, within the jurisdic tion of that court, ordered a ploughshare and plough to be sent by the plaintiff to Nasing by the Eastern Coun t!". Railway, be (the defendant) having to pay the car riage. The manufactory of the plaintiff was in Essex, sad the ploughshare and plough were made in 14 manufactory, and delivered according to order at the Stratford Station on the Eastern Coun ties Railway, not within the jurisdiction of the Waltham County Court. They were forwarded by the carrier from Stratford to the defendant, and be received them at Nasing. This action was brought for goods • so ld and delivered, and the plaintiff recovered a verdict for 31. 10a. A suggestion was entered on the roll that ~tbe caus e . of action arose within the jurisdiction of the 'County Court before mentioned. Now, the Court was of opinion that it did not, because the cause of action w as Complete out of the jurisdiction, and therefore no Part of it could have arisen within the jurisdiction. When the goods were delivered at Stratford they were delivered to the defendant, and he was liable to an action for good s sold and delivered. He did not make any objection, and it was to be taken that he could not make any cbjEction that the goods were not delivered accord• Ing , to order, therefore the cause of action was complete at Stratford. The Court was therefore of opinion that the verdict was properly directed to be entered fur the Plaintiff on that issue, and that the rule should not be granted.—Rule refused accordingly. : CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE QUEEN V. CHAPMAN AND ANOTHER, THE PRINTER AND PUBLIAIER OF THE " MORNING HERALD."—DON PACIFICO. Sir FREDERICK THESIGER said during last term a tale nisi bad been obtained on the motion of the Solici tor-General for a criminal information against the printer and publisher of the Morning Herald, for an al leged libel on M. Pacifico. On an affidavit stating that the circumstances out of which this application to the Court arose occurred at Nice, the Solicitor-General con -I,alcd to an enlargement of the rule until the second d ay of this term. Immediately after that application a co mmunication was made with the correspondent of the Slarning Herald at Athens (the alleged libel being con talucd in a former communication of his which ap- Peered in that journal), in order to enable the defend ants to answer the rule. They had received a letter, dated the 17th December, from their correspondent, Who stated that in consequence of the length of time which had elapsed since the circumstances stated in the alleged libel had taken place, there was great difficulty 11 1 obtaining the requisite information in order to enable the defendants to show cause eactually against the rule, and that that information could not be had in less (h, than a mo nt h f rom t h e ti me a t which hi s l etter was dated Under these circumstances he (Sir F. Thesiger) h ad now to apply to the Court to enlarge the rule until next term. Lord CANPNELL—Take a rule to show cause; but it 13 a pity on an application merely to enlarge a rule that there should be a rule to show cause. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice ERLE.) QUEEN V. CORONER OF UPPER GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Mr. COWLING applied to the Court to enlarge a rule nlsi, which was uutaii3ed last term, calling upon Mr. li rewiti, the Coroner for the Upper Division of Glouces tershire, to show cause why an information, in the nature of a quo warranto, should not be filed against him to try by what right he held his office. The rule was granted on the 29th of last November, but it was not 'served till the 10th of December following, and the affi 'davits tiled in support of it slumbered as many as fifty 611e, allegin g , amongst other things, that Mr.Frewin's election was illegal, that he was not chosen by the majority of votes residing in the district of Upper . Won cestershire, and that his election was carried by 450 ... fa ggot votes. Now it was utterly impossible for Mr. J 3 tewin to ascertain the truth or falsehood of these alle itatiens•in time to answer the rule this term. lie im pugned the validity of many of Mr. Musgrove's (his op- Vl:Merit's) votes; but the truth or falsehood of the state rents contained in the fifty-one affidavits was not within ° " 1 1 personal knowledge, and could not be• tested Wit hout Instituting lcng and diligent inquiry. lie, Terefore, w i s h e d to h ave th e r u l e en l arge d to Easter er ta.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) This . morning a respectably-dressed man who gave the -ew e of William Grav!s, aged 63 years, who roused to r e his address or occupation, was charged before Mr. a ;tit with stea li ng two p l a t e d t a bl e s p oons an d one s il ver p" spoon, from the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, I , Property of the proprietor, Mr. Charles Hickin uothaw. The prisoner on Saturday evening last entered the :°llee-roora of the above hotel, and took from a table ;a( 1 w b:lilt leaving ° Plated spoons and one silver salt spoon, and was the room when he was met by the waiter. 71 ath e Prison er as k e d if C a pt a i n Wilki ns on was stayin g e re. The waiter told him he was not, and the pri ()per, after thanking him, quitted the hotel. The waiter missed the property and followed him. He caught him t doors off, and the prisoner said, " 0 my God, 'know h e a t you want. Here are the spoons." He then handed Spoons to the waiter, and was given into custody. The prisoner made no answer to the charge, and r• HALL fully committed him for trial. BI ARLBRO'-STREET.—(THISDAY.)

PUSEY'S STIPEND. • We have received several day's later intelligence from the leading cities and ports of the United States by the British and North American Royal Mail seam-ship Africa, which passed Holyhead at an early hour this morning, and has just steamed up the Mersey. She brings the usull weekly mails and a large number of passengers. Her date of depar ture from New, York was the Ist instant. There is nothing of importance in the advices from the United States. Mr. Langston, ALP., has written to the Oxford papers, acknowledging his error in having stated at the county meeting that 1001. was annually voted by Parliament to the Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford, Dr. Pusey's solo stipend (401.) being received from Christchurch, as Mr. Langston says he has been informed on competent authority. This information is to be found in the Uni versity Calendar, published annually, in which it is also stated that a canonry of Christchurch is annexed to the Professorship of Hebrew. The Right Rev. Edward Feild, D.D., late Fellow of Queen's College, Bishop of Newfoundland, has been translated to the Bishopric of Nova Scotia. The news from Nicaragua is somewhat alarming. The disputes between the consul, Mr. Chatfield, and the authorities, were hastening a crisis, which, by the latest accounts (the 18th of November), seemed to be inevit a ble. Th e A us t r i an Mi n i s t e r had threat ened to leave. We regret to learn, by this arrival, of the loss of Captain Knight, of the packet-ship Ivanhoe, who was washed overboard on the outward voyage. Captain Knight was much respected by the mercantile and shipping public of New York and this port. The American mail steam-ship Baltic arrived hence at New York on the Ist inst., after a passage of 17-,- 1 , days. She is reported to have run short of fuel. The steam-ship Ohio, on the passage from Havan nab, damaged her anchoring, sprang a leak, and but for the energy of the passengers would have been lost. We have advices from Havannah to the 22d ult. Jenny Lind was expected on the 4th inst. A revised tariff had been published augmenting all articles of foreign importation per cent., and in • creasing the imposts on national imports by 1 7. It likewise augments the export duty on each box of sugar 50c., on each quarter of leaf tobacco exported 29e., and on every thousand chests 25c. I❑ imports this change is to take place on the Ist of February, and continue for two years; in exports from the Ist of January. Vessels from Europe are allowed to the Ist of March. We have advices from Nicaragua to the 18th of November. The ports of Salvador were then block aded by the British, and those of Nicaragua threatened. It is stated that war had been prtpared between Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The coffee crop was good, and prices high. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, DEC. 31. Money Market—The demand for foreign exchange for remittance by the steam-ship Africa, for Liverpool, has thus far been moderate. There has been no material alteration in the rates. We quote on London at 101 to 101 per cent, premium ; Paris, sf. 1 lfc. to sf. 10c., scarce, premium 80 to 83i ; Amsterdam, 41i to 41i ; Hamburgh, 361 to 37. Cotton—My last circular was dated the 24th instant, •since which we have had a fair inquiry for cotton, both from dernestio consumers and exporters. The sales have amounted to 6,500 bales, of which the greatest portion has been for France. Prices have been firmly supported, and on•some grades an advance was obtained up to the close of last week. Yesterday we received news, per telegraph, of the Baltic having put into Pro vineetown, Cape Cod. The reports that the Liverpool market had advanced id. per lb., with sales of 41,000 bales, led to an increase of business on the part of holders, who have obtained an a d va nce of ic., and show little disposition to make sales. The market closed last evening very firmly at the quotations. It will be noticed by the report of the southern market that they declined under the unfavourable accounts per - America, whic h decline had in some degree been re corded upon receipt of the Africa's advices. The ac counts per Baltic will tend to further advance. There was also a material falling off in the exports to Great Britain. It is more than likely from the small number of vessels loading and the general indisposition to ship, the exports will be on a small scale for some time to come. Iron—The market remains firm, full prices being realized. 450. tons English bars afloat and 40 tons in store sold at 40 dolls., and 500 tons of Scotch pig, one ,half to arrive. Tobacco—The market for the various descriptions is firm, but dull; and though prime qualities have not varied, middling to medium leaf Kentucky had receded ie. from the highest point. Flour—A moderate local demand for Western States flour. Prices are unchanged. Nothing doing for exports and the East. Canadian is firm and in moderate demand, at 4 dolls. 87ic. • Grain—The. market for domestic wheat is• quiet. The 'firmness of holders restricted sales. The demand is only for small lots for willing. Canadian is held firmly, but prices are nominally at 1 doll. 6c. to 1 doll. 12ic. in bond. I'ieights were dull, and the engagements were light. For cotton for Liverpool 5-32 d. to 3-18 d. was asked. Flour was steady at le. 6d. Grain was nominal at 4id. to sd. asked. Cheese was taken at 20s. to Glasgow. Tierce beef was taken at 3e. 6d., and St. Domingo logwood at 15s. To California clipper rates were 50c. to 600. NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 29. Cotton bas been very active; the sales on Saturday were 8,000 hies, at full prices, owing to favourable ac counts from New Yurk. We quote middling at 121. BRAZIL. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—By the arrival at this port to-day of the fine clipper ship Empress, Captain Marden, from Pernambuco, we have received advices from Rio Janeiro to the 3d ult., Bahia to the 11th, and Pernambuco to the 17th. The Empress left Pernambuco on the evening of the 17th ult., and has therefore made the passage in the brief space of 24 days. - At Rio Janeiro the apprehension of war with Rosas was contemplated with more calmness, and the prepara tions making by Government were not on a very extravagant scale, and had not yet affected either the money market or the rate of exchange. Frequent thunder-storms and gales—the usual accompaniments of this month, but notably absent in 1849—gave a hope that the yellow fever would not reappear, and the residents at Rio Janeiro anticipated that 1851 would make amends for their past sufferings and trials. It may. be mentioned, as a very unusual cir cumstance for a country that produces the precious metal, that gold was pouring into Brazil from all parts. There was• no news of importance from Buenos Ayres, and many well-informed parties did not seem to contemplate a war as at all certain, but 110$88 was taking active meatures of preparation. The market for dry goods at Rio was dull. Good ' firsts coffee was selling at 3 milreis 650 reis per arroba. Freights-501. to 60s. per ton to the Channel (for orders) were the last rates paid, but up wards of 40 vessels having arrived within a few days, the next engagements were expected to be at a lower rate. Exchange, 30d. At Bahia white sugar was selling at 1 milrei 000 reis to '2 milreis, and brown at 1 milrei 500 reis to 1 milrei 600 reis. Cotton brought 6 milreis 800 reis to 7 milreis, and coffee 3 milreis 600 reis to 3 milreis 800 reis per arroba. Freigts—To Liverpool, 60s. ; to London, 603.; and to the Channel (for orders), 655. to 755. Exchange, 29),-d. to 301 At Pernambuco brown ,ugars were selling at 1 milrei 550 reis to 1 milrei 600 reis, and white 2 mil reis to 2 milreis 200 reis per arroba. Freights to the Channel and Mediterranean, 575. 6d. to 60s. Ex change, 29fd. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, JAN. 11.

INTRODUCTION TO THE RACING CAMPAIGN OF 1851. "I'll issue notes, Which may on Fortune's 'Change be barter'd For much money."— FITZWALLTNGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Scarcely two months have elapsed since the racing season of 1850 closed on the Downs of Epsom; and already, by the exigencies of the times in which we live, I am called into the field at this early period of the year to sound the "note of preparation" for the ensuing campaign of 1851, a year destined to form a new and important epoch in the history of the world, of progress, of civilization, and, from present appearances, ap pointed to work great changes for the better on the turf; altogether giving every sign of being a remarkable and most prosperous year in every respect. Had "Prosperity Fred," as a Noble Lord, a member of the Government was called a goodly cycle of years ago—some twenty-six—been preaching the unexampled prosperity of the present time, instead of 1824-5, he could hardly have been wrong in his statements and predictions; but, then, the prosperity of the country was false, a slight crust of ice covering a volcano, which burst with terrific force in 1825-6. For several months of the present year Lon don and the adjacent country will be literally the world's fair; " the village," as the metropolis of the world is facetiously termed, will be over-run by legions of foreigners, or, as we ought to call them in this age of progress, cosmopolites, who no doubt, when they have satiated their eyes with the attractions of the Crystal Palace, and the other lions of the metropolis, will rush in crowds to the celebrated race-meetings of Newmarket, Chester, Epsom, Ascot, and elsewhere, to see and enjoy the great national sport of Old England and the English, now in the 200th year of its establishment. This will lead to a large diffusion of the circulating medium, to a great increase of specu lation, and consequently to a considerable augmentation in business of every kind on and connected with the turf; speculation being the very vitals of the ring, enabling the English, as a nation, to possess the finest breed of horses—not even excepting those of "Araby the blest" —under the sun. If it were not for the speculative system adopted in the ring, termed betting, the turf would not exist a dozen years longer, the studs would dwindle down to next to nothing, and be what they were before Tregonwell Frampton, Godolphin, and others of that class, introduced betting on horse-races, some hundred years ago. With th4resent number, I commence the new year with a new series of Sporting Notes, upon an entirely new and improved principle, that shall, or at least I hope will, meet the necessities of the sporting,world, in all particulars connected with the turf. It is my intention to publish, as early as possible, a careful analysation of the great Spring Handicaps—the Derby, Oaks, Two Thousand and One Thousand Guineas Stakes—and on all other stakes of note throughout the year; to be, at the least, from a fortnight to a month in the field before the race is run, with a diligently constructed digest of the animals' chances engaged therein. In ad dition to the foregoing early appearance of my opinion on the great races of the year, I purpose publishing, as soon as the racing season has fairly set in, that is, from the end of March, thence to the termination of the Houghton week at Newmarket, in October next, the latest intelligence received by post or electric telegraph from the country, together with all the moves on the metropolitan board that may transpire at the club houses, or at any of the priccipal sporting houses in London, up to the time of going to press for the seeond and third editions of The Sun; thus giving country subscribers. as well as town, the benefit of the earliest information that can possibly be procured. Besides the above, the usual note will appear every Monday through out the season, duly noting every particular worth re cording of the preceding week's races; and " Attempting to anticipate The cabinet designs of Fate," by predicting the winners of ttioae in the ensuing week ; the whole worth filing as forming a key to the racing campaign of 1851, compiled from the very best sources, and I flatter myself good enough to enable those who speculate in my notes to barter their contents on For tune's 'Change for much money. Having laid down the principal of (what I hope you will allow to be) the spirited laws of your huonglo servant for the ensuing campaign ; I will now proceed to review the present state of the Betting market, premonishing the sporting community that, as the weights for the Chester Cup and Metropolitan Handicap were not generally known in town until the 11th, Saturday last, but little speculation of a genuine kind has as yet nsued upon these Stakes, but in the course of this day and to-morrow the betting will assume a shape in the minds of the members of that celebrated " republic, club, community, yclept the ring," and those nags' names destined to be the favourites for the re-1 mainder of the winter will he duly indorsed in the rug detail returned of the operations at Tattersall's this afternoon. The stakes that have commanded the most attention since the curtain fell on the racing drama of 1850 are the Derby, Chester Cup, 2,000 Guineas, and the Metropolitan, of Epsom. For the first-named, since this time last year, between forty-five and filly horses have been supported, many of them in a most spirited style, especially Grecian, Lightfoot, Prime Minster, Storm, Lamartine, and Newmtnster, the last four MY DERBY TEAM. selected and pointed out by me in the columns of 7he Sun in 1849, long before their qualities were even guessed at by the public, touts, or prophets, or, in fact, by any one except their owners, and trainers; and in one instance (The Prime Minister) I think I had the start of them likewise. In addition to the above, the Mountain Sylph colt (upon very good grounds) Las received a fair quantum of support; and so have the following at outside prices varying from 20 to 66 to I, viz :—Teddington, Black Doctor, Midas, Con fessor, Ariosto, 800 (said to be the best three years old in the Goodwdod stable), Runnymede (improving ra pidly), Ipsus, Bonnie Dundee (Lord Eglinton's best), Constellation, Tearaway colt, Brother to Chanticleer (a strong customer), Marlboro' Buck (a first-rate half bred), and Balsamo, a dangerous outsider of the Marlbo rough division. Some few of these have been backed for an immense amount on paper; should Lightfoot win the Derby, somewhat of the impossible in my opinion, it would give " the ring" a heart-breaking quake from which it would not easily re cover ; of Day's horses, Lamartine has had as much invested on him as the favourite Grecian, their respective merits, however, I shall leave alone for the present, until the appearance of my analysis of the Derby. Altogether the Derby market is remarkably firm for the time of year, consequent upon the mildness of the season, and for the most part entire absence of sickness in the great stables; each fancy nag finding is ha.ch of backers who wsert, according to their views of the matter, " in good round set terms" their unqualified opinion that the crack will win, that Lightfoot is a cer tainty, &c., &e , while the greater portion of the north and west country division follow suit with me in favour of The Premier and Newminster. The present prices show the Grecian to be out of favour, the Premier in great request at 7 to 1, the Mountain Sylph colt at 13, Newmiustsr steady at 13 to 14, and Lamartine at 25 to 1. Among the outsiders Balsam° at fifties, and Runnymede at thousands to thirty, are in request. I have animadverted at some length on the Derby prices, as in all probability they will rule steady for some time to come, as will those for the 2,000 Gui neas (for which stake Grecian is marked at 3, Newmin ster 5, Mountain Sylph cult 3 to 4, Storm 10, and Con fessor 12 to 1); but with respect to the Metropolitan Handicap and Chester Cup figures, they will receive an other form from this very day, with perhaps the solitary exception of Rhesus and Cossack for the " Coop;" how ever I will lay before you the names of those horses that have been backed to any extent for the great ingo of Chester during the last three months; they are— Cossack, Rhesus, Damask, Italian, Montague, Russbo rough, l'itsford, Sir Richard, Peep-o'-day-13oy, Miss Ann, Elthiron, Wallflower, Clarissa, Garforth, Me lody, Musician, Wont-you-come-out-to-night, Glauca, Clincher, Raby,Cockerrcouth,Chief Justice, bro. toDough, Langton, Lady Evely►,, 7st alb (worth a heavy invest ment at fifty, if fur no other purpose than hedging), Lady Eden, HariconSnowstorm, the,Swindler, St. Valen tine, Trouncer, Dahcotah Chief, Woolwich, Cyprus, Seaman, ~and Eva. The analysis of the Chester Cup must stand over for the present, but I intend giving in my next Note a few general hints on the principal stakes of the spring, with an artistically executed dissec tion of the keys to the Derby and Oaks, the Two and One Thousand Guinea Stakes. The racing prospects of 1851 are considerably above the average, and in the number of nominations for the most important stakes of the spring, with the exception of a small falling off in the Derby, the Northampton and Newmarket Handicaps; slightly above last year, generally allowed to be a most successful season.

THEBATES —AVIS AND WASH-HOUSES IN GEORGE.' STREET, EUSTONSQUARE.-A summary of the working of this establishment tor the past year presents the following very satisfactory results :—Bathers—males, 75,834; females, 10,763 ; total bathers, 36,597 ' • washers, dryers, ironers, he., 73,013; representing 292,092 individuals.. Apartments in the occupation of the very poor cleansed, limewashed, venti lated, and otherwise purified, 2,941. At the general meeting, on Thursday, it was stated ,that.the sum of 1,8001. was re quired to complete the building and fitting up of the estab lishment, and that every exertion was needed to raise that sum by subscription. With the institution in full and bene ficial working, it is most earnestly to be hoped that its opera tions will not be circumscribed from want of pecuniary means. Baths and wash-houses must recommend themselves to the donations of the wealthy as objects- of necessity, and peen bia=ly free foul liability t 9 abuse OVERLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) We have received a telegraphic dispatch from Trieste in anticipation of the Overland Mail. The steamer Oriental arrived at Suez from Cal cutta on the Ist, carrying sixty-three passengers, and the mails from B•-imbay of the 17th December, Calcutta of the 7th December, Singapore of the COI December, and Hong- Kong of the 24th December. The greatest tranquillity prevailed throughout India. A trifling encounter took place at the Kohat frontier between the British troops, under Mejor Taylor, and the INTuzeer ; the latter were repulsed by the British troops, end only one wounded. On the 31st of November the Governor-General set out from Amar Kullen to proceed to Lemdarmeer. Malignant fever and dysentery are decimating the the troops in the Punjaub. Sir Charles Napier was expected at Bombay on the 31 of January. Sir William Gomm arrived at Calcutta on the 6th of December. The negotiations respecting the Calcutta Railroad have come to a standstill. The directors of the Marat Bank have suspended their secretary, Marir Angd.o, and peremptorily sum moned the Nizam to pay his debt to England on or before the last day of December. . _ Sir William Anderson, the governor, has arrived in Ceylon. Java is tranquil. Piracies are still being perpe- ,rated. Siam is tranquil, but apprehensions existed as to its future state. The King is constructing a fort. Sundry vessels had gone ashore and been wrecked in the S.W. Violent rains had fallen in the interior. The Legislative Council passed a vote against the transport of convicts in the colony. The Donna Maria, Portuguese frigate, exploded at Macao ; 200 persons were killed. Trade Report—Bombay market brisk, with con siderable supplies, and lower prices.

Exchange on England-ss. °;d. to ss. 2d. Freights, 2/. 2s. CHINA. Cotton in pieces not in usual demand of the season, market choked, and prices going down. Opium was going down ; the stock on hand is small and bad, and prices low. MINE A CCIDENT.—On Wednesday morning., about eight o'clock, the boiler belonging to the fire-whim at Alfred Consols mine burst with such violence as to shatter itself in fragments, and to kill one man--lander at the whim, named Anthony Cock. He was a native of the parish of Gwitham, and has left a widow and a large family to lament his loss. He was found several fathoms from the boiler-house with his clothes blown off from his body, and quite dead, so that his death must have been instantaneous. It appears that he was lighting his pipe at the boiler fire when the sad catas trophe happened. Fortunately the engine-man was not in the house at the time, and so escaped unhurt.. It has not yet been ascertained that any one else has met with any in juries. No blame can be attached to any agents of the mine, as it was almost a new boiler, having only been a few weeks brought on the mine.—Cornwall Gazette. THE REPRESENTATION OF GLAMORGANSHIRE.— General Sir George Tyler has issued his address to the elec tors of the county of Glamorgan. He says—" Permit me to declare my firm and unalterable attachment to the person and throne of our Sovereign, and to our Protestant institu tions both in Church and State, as handed down to us from the period of the glorious Reformation. Permit me, also, to declare my conviction that the safety and well-being of the various interests connected with the native industry and capital of this country, whether they be agricultural, manu facturing, er commercial, imperatively require the adoption by the Legislature of the principle of protection, to secure them against unfair and unequal foreign competition." THE REPRESENTATION OF NORTH NOTTINGHAM-. sr-Ili:E.—We (Notts Reticle) are sorry to learn that the health of T. Houldsworth, Esq., M.P., is rapidly giving way, and that there is no prospect of his resuming the active duties he has so long, and in a party point of view, so con sistently fulfilled. LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. —On Saturday Mr. Harris, solicitor to the official manager of this company, attended before Master Blunt, and made a representation to the effect that a solicitor ( Mr. Field) had possession of all the books and papers of the concern, without which his client could not stir a step in the winding-up of the company. He (Mr. Harris) believed that Mr. Field claimed a lieu of 2,6001. on the documents for costs. Now, there were no funds in hand, and as the books of the corn, pany were beyond his reach, he had no lawful proof of the validity of the claim. Under these circumstances he was at a loss how to proceed. Mr. Field produced an affidavit sub stantiaiing his claim, and said that if a memorandum were placed upon the file, admitting the bill subject to taxation„, and stating that it wou:d be paid out of the first assets that came to hand, he would consent to deliver up the deeth, Scc., relating to the company, to the official manager. This ar rangement was acceded to, subject, however, 1.0• the adjust ment of some minor details between the parties. ITALIAN LECTURES ON TUE PAPACY.—Yesterday, at half-past two o'clock, the Rev. Dr. Alexandre Gavazzi delivered, at the Princess's Concert-room, to a numerous audience, the second of a series of lectures, in Italian, on the subject of the Papacy. The theme chosen by him was the fatal influence exercised by the temporal power Of the Popes on the Christian Church. A large portion of the assemblage drawn together on the occasion consisted of the rev. doctor's countrymen, and the views and opinions to which he gave expression were received by them with immense enthusiasm. He was loudly applauded throughout the course of his lec ture. His manner is particularly picturesque and striking. He has a splendid voice, and this, combined with his fine appearance and graceful gestures, produces even upon those who, from ignorance of the language,ar e unable to follow the current of his thoughts, a strong sense of the depth of those convictions which have induced him in a foreign land to raise his voice against the iniquities and errors of the Papacy. METROPOI.ITAN TYPOGRAPHICAL WIDOW, ORPHAN, OR NOMINEE .SOCIETY.—The first general annual meeting of the members of this society was held on Saturday evening, at the British School-rooms, Neville's-court, Fetter-lane. Mr. Robert Hartwell was called to the chair. The meeting was very numerously attended. The Chairman briefly ad dressed the meeting, and congratulated them upon the results of the operation of the society for the past year, which had exceeded their most sanguine expectations, and were so eminently successful, that he tru s ted it would still further stimulate them to increased exertions in its behalf. Mr. James Longman, the secretary, then read the report of the transactions of the society for the past year. It stated. that. during the year €53 persons had enrolled themselves as members, and that several handsome donations had been re ceived in behalf of its funds. The rules as agreed to on the 4th of December, 1849, at a general meeting, had been sub mitted to Mr. Tidd Pratt, and a graduated scale of payments for age had been furnished by Mr. Nelson, the actuary, when Mr. Pratt approved of the same, and the society was duly enrolled on the 26th of February, 1850. Since that period there had been a progressive increase of numbers. The financial statement showed the total receipts of the year to be 4511. 18s. 6d. ; the expenditure (including 1201. to six widows), 1451. 9s. 6d., leaving a balance invested with Abe treasurer of 3061. 9s. The report having been received and adopted, the late trustees and committee were unanimously re-elected. Some slight alterati , ,ns in. the rules were then proposed and agreed to, and the ordinary routine business transacted, and after the usual compliment to the Chairman, the meeting separated. HAWKING ON EPSOM DOWNS.—On Tuesday last, a hawking party, consisting of about 40) or bOO sportsmen, visited the renowned Epsom Downs for the purpose of wit nessing the powers of Mr. Barr's celebrated falcons. It will be remembered that about a month ago Mr. Bishop, of Bond-street, with a party of gentlemen, witnessed the first display of falconry on the Downs, which has since created so much excitement amongst the elite of the sporting com munity, that it is more than probable this ancient and aris tocratic sport will be soon classed with racing, hunting, and shooting. The falconer that afforded the sport on Tuesday is a tine, Quentin Durward looking Scotch laddie, named Barr, from Arrochar, near Gla-gow, who has devoted much time to falconry, and is a perfect master of the "fleet and deadly hawk." The quarry hunted on Tuesday were twelve fast blue-rock pigeons, four of which were killed in beauti ful style, after a pursuit of tw o or three minutes each. The remaining pigeons made direct for the Grand Stand, about a quarter of a mile from the old starting post, where the birds were ripped, all of which were turned by the hawk before reaching the stand. When a pigeon gets into a tree or place of refuge, whereby terra firma can be reached, the hawk at once ceases to pursue by springing into the air, as if the pigeon were out of sight. Sometimes the hawk will attack his prey when on the ground, but only when he is remarkably hungry. A portion of the sport on Tuesday was therefore destroyed by the pigeons taking shelter as de scribed. Mr. Barr's hawks are so well trained that, as sbon• as unhooded and let loose, they soar into the air, waiting and watching the movements of the falconer. As soon as the prey is struck down, the falcon places one talon on the . shoulder and the other on the bead, cutting in an instant the jugular vein with his beak. During this operation the fal coner hurries towards him, and disengages him from his quarry in a coaxing and careful manner. Their docility and quietude are very remarkable. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.S.--REPORTED Loss OF UPWARDS OF 300 Livs.—During the week several appal ling losses have been reported at Lloyd's, and have excited considerable attention in consequence of the great loss of hie by which they were attended. The most heartrending are these announced in the early part of the Week—the total loss, with all hands, cf two whaling ships in the Arctic Seas,, off liehrine,'s Straits, sod the wreck of two English vessels, with adventurers for the gold mines at California, .off the wont coast of South America. The wrecks of the whalers 1./el3 discovered by a Captain Roy, on the Ist of Septembe r last, off the West Cape ; but the barriers of ice along the laud, and a heavy gale, precluded him approaching nearer than three miles of the spot where they lay. Sub sequently. he ascertained from the natives, Some , 200 miles ;to the southward of the wrecks, that the vessels were lost in the early part of last spring, and that all hands had perished. No information could be gleaned as to where they belonged. The English vessels - lost on the west coast of SOuth America were supposed to be the Julia and Lucifer; the former was a barque, and was on a passage from Panama to San Francisco, with Y5O passengers on board ; the Lucifer, a schooner, had 50 persons on board, and was proceeding from the latter port, for Boston. With the exception of about twenty indi viduals, all met with a watery grave. MAY CATS. —J Wilts, and also in Devon, it is believed that cats born in the month of May will catch no mice nor rats, but will, contrary to the wont of .all other cats, bring in mikes and alow-worms. Such cats are; called " May cats," and are held in contempt.—Notes and queries. LITERATURE AN INDEX TO THE REPORTED CASES not Overruled or Obsolete, and to the Statutes, Rules and Orders relating to the Principles, Pleading, and Practice of the Courts of Equity in England and Ireland, and of the Equitable Jurisdiction of the House of Lords and Privy Council, from the earliest period of time to the year 1850. By John Jagoe, Esq., Barrister. at- Law. London: Butterworth, Fleet street ; Stevens and .Norton, Bell-yard ; Simpkin, Marshall and, Co., Stationers' Hall-court. Dublin: Hodges and Smith, Grafton-street. Mr. Jagoe has already attained a distinguished po sition as a legal writer. In the many able works which hare already emanated from his pen, and to which we have from time to time bad the pleasure of directing the public attention, he has shown himself to be fully possessed of all the qualifications necessary for the important duties he had undertaken. Learned, acute, perspicuous, but, above all, of unceasing in dustry, he showed himself to be fully acquainted with all matters necessary to elucidate any of the varied subjects on which he was engaged. Anticipating the points that might be raised by the ingenuity of counsel, he furnished astute arguments in favour of his exceed ingly clear vie ws, and that briefly and intelligibly, so that they might be comprehended by the non-professional readers. No unnecessary matters were introduced that could by a possibility be regarded as savouring of book-making, or being inserted merely to increase the size and the price of his work. But if there was no surplusage there was no omission; nothing was left out that could cast light upon the topic under die cussion, or compel a party preparing an argument to seek instruction from other authorities. The mate rials were carefully selected by the learned author, who spared no pains to render his works useful to all classes, and worthy of his own labouriously- acquired. and well-merited reputati on . It was w ith such a character and such qualifications that Mr. Jagoe en tered on his magnum opus, the equity index now under notice. It was truly a gigantic undertaking, a task that might have deterred men of even the most untiring industry. To classify and arrange under appropriate heads the cases contained in the mul- tft - udi - nous reports of the proceedings in the courts of equity of England and Ireland, and of the equitable decisions of the House of Lords and Privy Council from the earliest period to the year 1850 was indeed an herculean labour, and this was greatly enhanced by the necessity of omitting the cases that had been overruled or become obsolete. It thus became a matter of greater difficulty to de aide on the cases to be erased than those that should remain; the stylus should be freely resorted to, but it was obviously essential to the value of the work as a book of reference. If cases not now recognized, which could not properly be cited in court, were in serted, it would not only greatly increase the labour of the practitioner in hunting out precedents, but it would not be certain that the cases when discovered would be beneficial to the cause, or available during the discussion. By his indefatigable labour, however, Mr. Jagoe has (while reducing his work within the most moderate compass, and at a proportionately re duced price) diminished the labour of the student or advocate to a small proportion of what it would other wise be, in ascertaining the present state of the law, and en abled him to rely with confidence on every case inserted as an existing and effective au thority, which he may safely depend on when forming his opinion or arranging his line of argument. There was, perhaps, no work so much required by the profession generally as that, the first volume of which has now appeared. Chitty's able Index had long been out of print, and could not be obtained at any price, save by mere accident, and then at a much higher figure than that originally fixed ; and even those who were so fortunate as to possess the rare and valuable volumes had nothing of more recent date to consult, so that they were compelled to examine the various reports that have appeared from the year pre ceding the publication of Chitty's " Equity Index." There were also many important legal reforms intro duced during the interval ; so that, to a certain ex tent, the labours of Chitty were rendered of but little value. There was, indeed, a hiatus valde deflendus, which was painfully felt by the members of the equity branch of that honourable profession, whose toil must be sufficiently onerous even under the most favourable circumstances. This void, we are happy to say, is now supplied, and judging by what we have already seen, and the promise of the speedy appear ance of the remaining volumes, in a manner to leave nothing to be desired on the part of the profession or the public. In order to suit the public convenience, Mr. Jagoe has divided his subject into three parts—an arrange. ment for which he is entitled to the marked thanks of the community, more especially to those of equity practitioners. It might be supposed that the inte rests of the learned writer would have been advanced by delaying the publication until it could appear in a complete form ; but Mr. Jagoe has learned that the true interests of author and reader are one and indi visible, and that what is found to be convenient and beneficial by the latter will inevitably prove advanta geous to the former. Tt'e exigencies of the case re quired a speedy publication, and what was most wanted was a continuation rather than an emendation of Chitty. The changes and alterations in the prac tice and rules of procedure rendered the latter essen tial, but it was not so urgently required as the former. In the present volume we find what may be properly styled a continuation of Chitty to the present time. All the recent cases that have been decided since the publication of his Index are given— all the judgments, in fact, which have appeared during the periods when Lords Cottenham and Lyndhurst held the great seals of England, and Lord Plunkett, Sir Edward Sugden, and the Right Hon. Maziere Brady were Chancellors of Ireland. It is almost unnecessary to say that this arduous duty his been most ably fulfilled. Mr. Jagoe does not perform his undertakings in a slovenly or inefficient manner. A nice discrimination has been evinced in dividing the cases and classifying them under the most appropriate heads ; and a great number of sub-divisions have been resorted to, which will enable the searcher speedily to find the matter he requires. The hand of the master is perceptible in every page. The later decisions are generally placed first in order. This is a great advantage, because frequently the last autho rity will notice and review all those preceding it, so as to render any examination of the more ancient precedents almost unnecessary. The appeal cases to the House of Lords are placed first, followed by those to the Privy Council, and then the decisions of Courts of Chancery in England and Ireland, the Rolls' Court in each country, and the Vice- Chancellors' Courts, ac cording to their respective precedence. So much for what has already been done, by which Mr. Jagoe has crowned his well-established reputation, and achieved for himself a place in the foremost rank of the legal authors of the country. We may now briefly notice what we are told will speedily be produced. The second volume will give the pleading and practice cases, and the rules, orders, and statutes, including those of the last session of Parliament, and the rules founded thereon, together with the table of cases fur both volumes, thus form ing a complete equity practice. This volume has only been postponed in order that it may include the Chancery orders of Michaelmas Term, 1850, and we may look for its publication almost every week. The third and concluding volume will contain all the early decisions relating to the princi ples of equity which have not been over ruled or become obsolete, and it is stated that it will be ready for delivery in Easter Term, when the important work will be completed in every particular. It is, however, no ordinary recommendation that each volume will be complete in itself, so that each person may know in a moment that which he will require to look into, according to the nature of his object. On the whole, we can earnestly commend the work to all practitioners in equity as one that will prove a material assistance in their labours, which will be considerably alleviated by its aid ; indeed no equity library can be perfect unless it has a place therein. It will also be valuable as a book of refer ence to common-law practitioners, and even to th• community in general—to all, in fact, who desire to have some knowledge of the laws and administration of justice in the land they live in. TIME, THE AVENGER..--The moat popular and most instructive of modern novelists, the gifted author of "Emilia Wyndham," "The Wilmingtons," and various other admi rable productions, has just published a new work with the ♦ery suggestive title of " Time, the Avenger," which is already attracting the greatest attention in literary circles on account of its deep pathos and pure feeling; the leading features, self-sacrifice on one side, and disappointed passion on the other, having been drawn with a graphic power that every one must recognise. " Time, the Avenger," gives the author indeed increased claims on the respect and gratitude of the public. In order to deserve a true friend, we must learn first to be one. —Eliza Cook's Journal. MOUE SECESSIONS TO POPERY. —The Rev. J. 11. Woodward, incumbent of the parish of St. James, the largest and most populous parish of the city of Bristol, has tendered his resignation of that living, with the intention, it is understood, of immediately joining the Church of Rome. The Rev. Gentlanau had intimated his intention of preaching his farewell sermon yesterday, and large numbers attended in the expectation of hearing it, but they were doomed to disappointment, the entire service being performed by the curate, and the incumbent not. being present. The ex 1,1- nation given was, that upon consultation with his friends Mr. Woodward had come to the conclusion that it would most conduce 'to peace and -goodwill it' be abstained from preaching, and published his reasons for secedin wheng in a pamphlet. The Reverend Gentleman, a lthough ap ointed to the livin he belonged to that section of the Church which is known as " Evangelical," has more recently been remarkable for the Tractarian mode of celebrating di vine worship, and it will be remembered that a short time ago he, in opposition to the expressed wishes of his diocesan, permitted Dr. Pus*, t o preach two sermons in his church. Mr. Francis Ward, on e of the partners in the eminent' legal firm of Osborn, Ward, an d Co., of Bristol, and son of Mr. Alderman Ward, has likewise, with his lady, joined them selves to' the Rornish. church. One or two other anticipated in high life in that city, - are f ree ly eases of "pervers ion" talked about 'THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. The Rev. L.

An advertisement has been issued by the Admiralty for tenders for a monthly mail steam service between Siega -1 pore and Sydney, Australia. After the discussion which has taken place on the superior advantages of the two other routes—viz., Panama and the Cape of Good Hope—this ap parent intention to close the matter by a sudden selection of the line which has certainly thus far been. loast favoured by public Opinion will excite considerable surprise. The tendeis are to be sent in on the 13th February, but as Parliament meet on the 4th there will fortunately be time to prevent the plan being carried through without sufficient explanations. In the face of what has just been developed respecting the ten years' Brazil contract the public will have no excuse for want of vigilance.— Times. THE SHOP-lILIND NUISANCE.--A correspondent, " 'Write," says the Builder, recas attention to this great street nuisance, of which we have taken repeated occasion to com plain. If there be in the police force any " proper men," as strapping six-feet fellows were wont to be called, they must have had their attention forcibly called to the fact that the awnings and tackle complained of are a nuisance—of a high order, we were on the point of saying ; but the point is pre• c ely b th e hoisted e high h 7.'e h enrethoe police to comp e l th em , one and all,ugh to be clear, not only of what " Write" calls the " domes of thought," but of the tiles and chimney-pots with which it is usual to , cap these lofty " domes," we should care title about the other improvements in them §pggerated by our correspondent. CASE OF MARY ANN RICHAII WS: TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. have read the remarks you haven lade in your impression of this evening on the case of the young girl, Mary Ann I.ichards, and the dis( !harge of a monster called Adolphe Werdenski, the mixed feelings of sympathy and horror—of sympathy at the sad condition of the child, who is nov► . left without any protection of the law, of horror, that the deficiency of the law of this country, (r the culpable negligence of those who are eppoin ted to watch over its administration, should have screened from bringing to justice so great a criminal :is the said Werdinski appears to be. It is really diffi milt to conceive who is to be blamed most, either the rapa cious clerk, who was waiting for his fee before he un dertook to attend to his business, or the Assi stant- Judge, Mr. Adams, whose perfect nonchalance 'in this matter surpasses every belief. That the judge should have suffered \Verdinski to go at large, without at least exacting a bail from him for any future appear ance to answer the atrocious charge brought against him, shows the utter neglect of that magistrate of the most sacred interests of humanity. The poor orphan girl, who has thus been doomed to a state of misery, will, no doubt, remember the justice she met with at the hands of Mr. Adams, and let the misery to which she is now reduced be laid at the door of those who so ungenerously refused her their legal support. I trust that the benevolent public will not overlook the claim of the poor orphan girl to their sympathy, and in offering you my grateful acknowledgments, s o which you are so eminently entitled, for taking up the case, I enclose ten shillings towards the fund which may be raised for the unfortunate creature, and I remain _ _ _ YOUR CONSTANT READER.

The lease of the Victoria Theatre, with all the paraphernalia, he has bequeathed to Miss Vincent, who is also left sole executrix and residuary legateo. To Mrs. Osbaldiston and her two daughters, he has bequeathed a policy of assurance for 1,000/. and about 1601. in money.

The fur niture, plate, carriage, &c., at his villa, in West Brixton, he has left to Miss Vincent, with whom resides her daughter, Miss Beatrice Osbaldiston. THE VICEROYALTY IN IRELAND.—We are assured, and have no reason to doubt the accuracy of our information, that Ministers have determined on making a most vigorous effort in the approaching session, to abolish the Viceroyalty in Ireland. We are further assured, that with a view of being in a better position to carry out their purpose, their journals in the sister country, as well as their organs here, will re ceive instruct one, it they have not got them already, to assail the Lord-Lieutenancy in the strongest possible terms, and to hold up the " Castle" to the condemnation of all true patriots, as one of the most prolific sources of Ireland's evils. We have been further informed, that the " Liberal" press of the sister country, will riot have to labour gratuitously in the work of writing down the Viceroyalty. There will, we are told, be something more than a mere verbal recognition of the principle, that the labourer is worthy of his hire. 'What is much better, he will receive it too. It is even said, that one of the great objects for which an embryo journal is to be ushered into existence, is to " reconcile the public mind" to the abolition of representative royalty in the sister country, and that with this view the substantial patronage of .Government will be extended to our forthcoming con temporary.—. 4 dvertiser. THE EARL OF STRATHMORE V. THE GREAT Wasmnx RAILWAY ComrAfir.—At the Marylebone County Court, oh Saturday, the Earl of Strathmore brought an action against the above-named company, to recover com pensation for injuries sustained by a favourite racehorse named the Queen of Trumps, which it was alleged had been injured through the negligence of their servants. The case was not entered into, having been removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench, and which could only have been done under a clause introduced in the last session of Parlia ment in the County Courts Act. The damages were laid at the full extent of 50/., and as the case involves several points of great public interest, especially to sporting men, the fol lowing are the details :—lt appears that a short time since i the above-named racehorse was placed n a box on one of the side stations of the Great Western Railway, for the pur pose of being brought to London en route for Warwick, at which races she was engaged to run. On reaching the Pad dington terminus the horse-box came in collision with a train by which collision the horse and boy to mind it, and who was located in the box with it, were seriously injured, the former having four of i s teeth knocked out, and being obliged to be taken to Mr. Field's, veterinary surgeon, Oxford-street, where it was kept some time, and lost ail its engagements. On instituting proceedings in this court, the solicitors of the railway took out a summons to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to transfer the case to the Court of Queen's Bench, which application was granted, and thus the matter stands at present. IRON -MA STEER' QUARTERLY MEETING.—DUDLEY, SATURDAY.—The concluding meeting of the quarter was held in this town to-day, and the assembly at the hotel this evening was numerous and influential. The improved pros pects of the trade were generally admitted, and the prices of last quarter may now be considered as finally fixed by the principal houses of the district. As was anticipated at the preliminary meeting held at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, owing to the lowness of stocks and increased demand, au advance has been realized upon pigs. Altogether there is cause for congratulation in the improved position of the iron trade, but at the same time much reason for caution in avoiding unsafe and merely speculative transactions. NEW RAILWAY STATION AT OXFORD.--On Thurs day the Buckinghamshire Railway Co l Illney contracted with Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., who are erecting the Crystal Palace, in Hyde - park, to erect a new station at Rewley, Oxford, which is to be constructed on the same principle as the building for the Great Exhibition, and it is to be completed in three months. We understand that it is definitely settled that this line to London is to be opened on the Ist of May next.

The flames were first seen issui n g from m paper - room a third story from the ground , and in which room there is no doubt the fire originated. The engines were, imme diately sent for, but bait an hour having elapsed before they were effectually brought to play, the fire made considerable progress, penetrating into the rooms above and below, and broke in some measure through the roof. At length, how ever, the devastating element was arr ested, and by about one o'clock the fire was extinguished. What the amount of damage is there has not been time at present to ascertain, but it must be considerable. Mr. Burton, however, is the agent in Leicester for the Manchester Fire Insurance Company, and was insured, we understand, to en amount that will fully cover the loss.— Notts Journal o f Friday.
