The public is so apt to forget, in the easy enjoyment of any novel, but very signal advantage, the price which may have been paid for it through the personal experiences, inces sant fatigues, and inflexible perseverance of some individuals endowed with more than the ordinary average of moral courage, that we are very unwilling to see it relapse into this evil habit—for it is not a question of bad feeling—in re ference to one of the most remarkable persons among our townsmen of this metropolis. We have very recently, and on many precious occasions, seized the opportunity of di recting attention to the extraordinary merits of Lieutenant WAGHORN, R.N., in devising, accomplishing, and organis ing the route for the overland mail between India and Great Britain. It is scarcely possible for any one to doubt the vast importance to be attached to the achievement of this great object, which, by bringing, so to speak, Great Britain and the noblest of her depen dencies th?ee months nearer to each other—(and this is no longer a solecism either in expression or in faot)—has opened a new channel, developed new methods, and created new In terests of communication, of a value and sig,niflcarte pro portioned to the magnitude of the results which are bound up in the intimate and perfect connexion of those two noble regions, so remote from each other in geographical position singularly identified in the evolution of political events, and the collision both of European and of Asiatic interests with one another. If any disparaging estimate could be gravely entertained by any of our countrymen of the high character to be attached to Mr. WAG services to the commerce of the East with thi s empire, we should refer such sceptics to the earnest, yet temperate, discussions on the subject, that from time to time appear in the French newspapers. The topic is ably handled by our Contemporaries on the other side of the Channel ; but all of them, of whatever shades of party or opinion in the political contentions of the day, are una nimous, and unqualified in the praise they award to Mr. WAGHORN ; and in the zeal with which they press the momentous sequences that may ensue on the full esta blishment and working of his lately tested route to Engisunl rid Trieste, on the profoundest deliberation of Louis PHILIPPE and his Ministers. Far from affecting to undervalue the interest of France in retaining the trans mission of the overland mail, they plainly treat it as an inte rest of most extensive relations that must be absolutely sacri ficed, if the Executive do not forthwith so materially im prove their steam service and packet flotilla as to accomplish the distance from Egypt to Malta, and from Malta to Mar seilles, in a period of time abridged to an extent greater even than the difference between the present route rid Mar seilles, and that which has just been so successfully tested by Mr. WAGHORN, Via Trieste. Independently of the incalcu lable advantage realised by his overland mail to our commerce with the East, we must remember that he has achieved a benefit for universal Civilisation and peace, by the influence which he, of all Euro peans, first practically exercised over the powerful mind, but strong will, of the Pacha of EGYPT, in not only convincing that Illustrious Chief of the feasibility of the plan, and the advantages to be derived from its operation to Egypt as well as to England; but in holding the PAcIIA steadily to the same pomtaintil the route was laid out, secured, and worked on the presentosystem. To th e P acha MEREM ET Au, him self, we nitist..,ail concede the distinguished praise of having recognised the paramount claims o f p eace f ul commerce to protection through hi s Own territories, at a time whey ho himself was involved in the issue of the fierce hostilities commenced against him by the great European Powers. The PASHA adhered to all his engagements, with a rare regard for the spirit in which he had made them, instead of falling back on the palpable degree in which his adversaries had broken through the letter, as well as the spirit of their contract, with him, which will ever attach a lustre to his name, shared onlyby the greatest and the rarest, because the most honest and truthful among the Princes of enlightened and moral Christendom. The route lie had conceded, and all the commerce upon it, were sacredly, promptly, uninterruptedly, protected. It is known that Mr. WAGHORN is entitled to the credit of having been permitted to make representations to MEHEMET ALI on this subject, which in no little degree probably contributed to fix the final determination of the PASHA. The deportment of the Prince in this affair may look in vain to be mated with parallels in the history of European treaties and the maintenance of European diplo matic relations. National gives the following abridged accounts of the state of the crops in the Continental States :—" In France this year the harvest has been only middling, and even admitting that it is adequate when considered by itself, it is certain that it will not be sufficiently abundant to compensate for the defi ciency which the absence of other produce, such as potatoes, &c., ought to cause. Consequently France will not export. Italy and Spain have been neither favoured nor ill-treated, but their exports are too insignificant to afrord an efficient aid to other nations. The Austrian States, with the excep tion of Hungary, are so poor in corn this year, that the po pulation is menaced with great privations. The quantity of wheat in store at Trieste has never been so reduced as at present. No news has been received from Fiume (west of Hungary). In the lower provinces of the Danube and in Moravia, the harvest is anything but abundant. Going up higher, wheat is found in tolerably great quantities, but there is a complete absence of the means of transport. Western Russia, Poland, and a part of Silesia, usually so rich in corn, are this year in a bad position, and, from having generally an overplus, they must most probably borrow this year from abroad. Consequently, the Prussian ports of the Baltic, which, under ordinary circumstances, export the pro duce of Poland and Western Russia, will not furnish any thing to the rest of Europe. Neither Sweden nor Norway can be looked to for anything. The little kingdom of Den mark alone has this year been extraordinary for its fertility, and although what it will be able to export may appear considerable when compared with the narrow extent of its territory, it will in reality be but a trifle compared with the mass of wants which require to be satisfied. The insuffi ciency of European agriculture is therefore demonstrated, and we must turn our views towards the two Americas, and particularly the United States." Accounts had been re ceived from Algiers to the 9th instant, but they bring no intelligence of interest, and not a word about the Governor-General. It was generally believed at Paris, that Mr. HAY, the British Consul-General in Morocco, had declared to the EMPEROR the wish of England that he should aid France in capturing or expelling Ann-EL-RADER from Morocco. This has given great cause of offence to M. TIIIERS'S journal, which will allow England no influence whatever in a country with which it has been so long on good terms. The article which refers to the sub ject is a curiosity. Nothing will please M. TIIIERS but ab solute and sole dominion. We give a few extracts:— " The active intervention of Mr. Drummond Hay, the repre sentative of England at Morocco, in our difficulties with Abder rhamann, has not been forgotten. Neither has it been forgotten hoiv unfruitful was this intervention, and the interprcta. tions that were put upon it in France and Africa. To a cer. tain degree, it was no doubt sincere. England really wished Abderrhaman to accede to the terms of our ultimatum, which were moderate to excess ; she wished to prevent a war be tween Morocco and France. She could not succeed, but, on the contrary, the intervention of Mr. Drummond Hay pro duced an effect on the minds of the Arabs directly oppesite to that which it was intended to have. They regarded it ra ther as a mark of protection than a menace. They believed, and not without reason, that England would put impassable barriers in the way of our military operations. The declara tions of the British agent, therefore, increased their confidence, instead of putting upon it a wholesome constraint. It Is now announced that Mr. John Drummond Hay has succeeded to the functions of his father in Morocco, and that he has re cently received orders from his Government to go to the Em peror, and recommend him to assist, as far as might be in his power, our expedition against Abd-el-Kader, and declare to him that Great Britain acknowledged our right to pursue our implacable enemy on the territories of his empire. This step has the same character as the first, is. attended with the same inconveniences, and will be followed by the same conse quences. To be better able to judge of this, our real position with regard to the Emperor of Morocco must be taken into consideration. Abderrhaman is bound to us by two solemn treaties—that of Tangiers and that of Lalla Maghrina— by which together he has engaged himself to reduce Abd-el-Kader into a state to do us no injury, either by confining him to the interior of Morocco, or by delivering him into our hands. The Emperor has done nothing, has attempted nothing, towardc carrying his engagements into execution, We have a right to punish this breach of promise, this flagrant violation of the most express stipulations, and a fortiori we have a right to insist upon a tardy concurrence, and to take all such measures as are necessary for the security of our frontier. This is so self-evident that the most unwilling are compelled to ac knowledge it. What signifies then the officious interference of England? What sense can there be In the declaration of Mr. John Drummond Hey? In truth but one alone. That the most formal treaties are obscure in the eyes of the Emperor of Morocco until England has put her interpretation upon them ; that the as sent of England to his moat solemn obligations is indispensable to make him believe that he is bound by them; that the protection of England will, if need be, defend Morocco against the most incon testible rights of France. The step of Mr. Drummond Hay, per fectly useless in the enlightenment of the question, cannot have any other eftbct than to weaken the force of die stipulations, and render still more vain treaties already trampled upon." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool on Sa turday. Sales only 2,000 bags, all to the trade. There was no change in prices. A most valuable document has appeared in our morning Contemporary, the Times, of the railways at present formed and in operation—of those that are in the course of construe tionseLand of the newly-projected lines. To the lines already in operation it is not our intention at the present time to refer, nor to those in the course of construction ; but we shall confine our remarks to the projected companies. Taking the return noticed to be correct, it appears that the amount of deposits actually paid up for fresh railways is within a few pounds of 50 millions sterling. This was more than was anticipated by the most active capitalist who is daily watching the state of the money market. The capital represented as required to carry out all the intended projects is given at almost 800,000,00 01 . The Times makes this statement the handle to claim credit for its warnings to the public since July last, so that people having cash should not further em bark in railway schemes—of course, whether good or bad. Now, if ever there was a feature in the history of this coun try more preeminently indicative of the wealth of Great Britain, it is the fact that, with so large an amount of money locked up deposits for railway projects, the reaction in the value of the public securities should this year have not been more than sto 6 per cent. Our Consols are the highest priced securities in existence, and though very many sales have deposits, and notwitbstand ing t h been e increase ade o to pay of the rate of interest by the Bank of England, and the unwarranted course adopted by the Times in exciting alarm, what has been the result? Consols have fallen from 100% to 95, but they have since rallied at least 1% per cent. But the Times says not a word of the amalgamations that have taken place, nor of those about to take place, by which a vast amount of de posits will be returned into circulation ; nor, fearing to damage its crotchet, does it say one word of the increased employment that will be afforded to the labouring population—the increased wages that will be earned—the increased demand that will arise -from manufactured goods, and the additional value land will realise in the districts where .fresh lines are formed. It is art absurdity to imagine that one-fifth of the projects now in contemplation will be sanctioned by Parliament ; but the more the better, as the country must be bene fited.: The Bank Directors have no fear of an ex tensive demand for specie for exportation. The principal demand of late has been in consequence of the wants of its branches to meet the extra payments for labour. Tons upon4ons may be sent to the shops of coin, throughout the,United Kingdom, to meet the increasing demand, but like the ebb and flow of the tide, it will be used to promote the prosperity of the millions. There is no fear that any aug mentation of the railways in this country will tend to do injury. Quite the reverse. The Funds opened rather higher again this morning, Consols being 96% %, and, both on account of the rather easier state of the money market, and the impression in some quarters that there is more wheat in the country than has been supposed, the improvement seems likely to be maintained. At present Stock for transfer is 96% %, and for Time 96% %. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been firm at 245. and 275. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 97% to 97%, a rise of nearly % per cent. ; and the Three per Cents. 95 1 / 2 to 96%. Bank Stock has fluctuated from 202 to 203%, and India Stock from 263 to 264, both being rather higher. East India Bonds are quoted 385. premium. The Foreign Investments have been very quiet. Portu guese Four per Cents. have receded from 58% to 57, the advices from Lisbon stating that the Treasury was again in a bad plight. Spanish Five per Cents have been firm at 29i, and Mexican have improved to 30i. Brazil Stock is worth 82 to 82%, an advance of 1 to 1% since Saturday. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have brought 60 3 / 4 , and the Four per Cents. 94 to %. Railway Shares are again slightly mending. BRITISH FUNDS TIES DA r AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

Early and uninterrupted intelligence from a country which is about to become, once more, the theatre of stupendous events, in a renewed struggle between the moral and physical energies of the European and the Asiatic, becomes a necessity of more than ever impera tive exigency with the British public—of more than ever in tense interest to the British Government. At such a time, and with the recent exemplification before them of the spirit and facility he has displayed in organising a new, a shorter, and, in some respects, a preferable overland route, available in the event of the existing one being interrupted, whether from physical accidents or bad faith on the part of foreign functionaries, Lieutenant WAGlious has established new claims to the gratitude of this country, and to distinc tions of a solid as well as honourable nature at the hands of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. We perceive with high gratifica tion the progress of the subscriptions towards the " WAG twits Testimonial ;" but we earnestly hope that some pro motion in his professional rank, and some decoration or in signia of merit of a character as much beyond the ordinary scale of such rewards, as his services to the empire have been beyond the ordinary scale of simply professional ser vices, may be conferred upon him, with the approbation and by the desire of his SOVEREIGN. The great changes which have been effected by steam within only a very few years have turned the attention of other persons besides the Prince DE JOINVILLE and M. TRIERS to the means thus afforded for attacking the shores of England and to the present state of our national defences. The plans formed by BONAPARTE for the invasion of England were complete abortions, and though the ex-Minister may contend that the fate of the country was all but decided, and would to a certainty have been decided in favour of France, had her admirals displayed more courage, and the great man himself left a little more to chance, no doubt can remain, even from M. THIERS'S own showing, that with all his vast preparations he was completely foiled by the spirit, energy, and skill of the British admirals, and that the attempt would have ended in the destruction or capture of the in vading army. BONAPARTE, from experience, had learnt that the flat-bottomed boats and the other small craft, to which he proposed to entrust his veteran troops, could not resist the force which England had collected in the Channel, and he had only the alternative of giving up the scheme, or beating all the British vessels of war which swarmed from Brest to Portsmouth. To cover, his disgrace, he pre tended that he bad been betrayed by his admirals, that they were cowards, and could risk nothing, while he knew, as well as they, that bad they approached the Channel at the only =anent when, according to his own account, he was fully ready for the descent, a defeat would have ensued to which that at Tra falgar was but a mere shadow. Since then, however, cir cumstances are much altered. The French have a large steam navy, and by means of merchant steamers and other craft could convey across the Channel an army of 100,000 men, probably in one-tenth part of the time which would have been requisite in 1805. It is possible, too, that they might succeed—at least, to a certain extent—even in the face of a superior English steam navy, and the consequences to England would be, pro bably, most disastrous. In order to guard against such a possibility, various plans of national defence have been pro posed by different writers, and, among the rest by Lord RA NELAGH, in a pamphlet just published. His Lordship takes a calm and rational view of this important subject; and after admitting the vigilance and bravery of our admirals and seamen, he supposes, however, that the enemy might elude them, and land an invading force of 100,000 men on the coasts of Essex, Kent, and Sussex, and then asks :—" What are our preparations on land for their reception:? Our coast batteries,l such as they are, are without artillerymen, unarmed, and useless. We have no trained militia, and our yeomanry are few, and necessa rily slow in collection. Our population, even if they possessed arms, are ignorant of their use ; and our regular troops, which are scattered at great distances over England and Scotland, would not, were their disposable numbers collected, muster more than 10,000 bayonets. To these we may add the very important and useful body of soldiers which have been enrolled from the pensioners, amounting to 10,000 men. But, while this defensive strength, amounting on the whole to about 20,000 men, is being summoned from all parts:of the country, our arsenals, mizaably deficient in fortifications, in soldiers, and in artillerymen, invite the enemy's attack; before we can give anything like shape to our preparations he has mamhed upon and destroyed Chatham, Sheer ness, and Woolwich, taken military possession of the Thames, and threatened, or laid, an embargo on London." It would not be the first time that Chatham and Sheerness had been insulted, but under circumstances, it is true, of a much more favourable character for England. The Dutch had no troops to land—they could only bombard our dock yards and forts, and, after doing a great deal of mischief, were of course obliged to retire. But the case would be different with the French, and it cannot be denied that in the present undefended state of the country, and with the vast wealth which it contains, even 40,000 or 50,000 French troops eager for plunder would, before any sufficient check be given, cause an immense loss of property. It is the duty of the Go vernment, therefore, to prepare against such a contingency, and not leave England undefended, while she is within three hours sail of a country that possesses an army of 400,000 men, and a well-trained militia of nearly 1,000,000. Lord RANELAGR recommends five mnsures as indispensable to our native defence. " The first and most important consideration," says he, "is the condi tion of our arsenals. These must be strengthened by syste matic fortifications, garrisoned by adequate troops, and amply manned by practised and able artillerymen. In all these respects they are at present so wretchedly defective as to be totally unable to resist any land attack. To this sad description not one of our arsenals affords an exception." The next is the enrolment of the militia, or an organised force of some kind, whether as militia, or fencibles, or volunteers, ready and able at all times to repel an unexpected attack. A third point for consideration is the artillery service, and to meet our im mediate and direct necessities in this respect he thinks an addition, amounting to one-half of our existing force, would be requisite. The only other means of defence of importance relates to our commercial ports, and on that point he says :—" To defend such, points of attack, and to guard the vast accumulated wealth, so tempting to our friends across, the Channel, nothing can be more effectual than the employment of steam block - ships, forming a floating battery, rqual in strength of artillery, and in rapidity and - precision of motion, to the exigency of any probable aliack. Such defences before the ports of Liverpool, Hun, Bristol, Sunderland, Leith, &c., &c., seem to me not prudent only, but essential to that feeling of security which always adds so much to actual national strength." His Lordship thus concludes a brief sketch of much interest in these words The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers— The Constitutionnel says—" Letters from the frontier of Ro magna, dated the 4th inst., state that in the evenings of the lit and 2d a sanguinary conflict took place at Bologna between the Swiss, on the one part, and the Pontifical dragoons and custom house guards on the other. The troops were subsequently con fined to their barracks. Cardinal Cazoni, legate of the province, wished to bring the volunteers of the country into the town, but the municipal authorities gave him to understand that this would increase the disturbances, as the Bolognese were ever adverse to this corps. In its stead, they proposed to call the citizens to arms in the form of a civic guard ; but as the formation of such a guard is one of the demands comprised in the manifesto of the insurgents of Rimini, the Cardinal became alarmed, and refused the offer, but at the same time relinquished the idea of calling in the volunteers. It is also said that disturbances have occurred at Perugia, towards which town a column of Swiss was on its match. The sentences of the commission at Ravenna, anterior to the late disturbances, have been confirmed at Rome. More than forty persons have been condemned to the galleys for various periods."

We have received Madrid journals of the Bth and 9th inst. The resignation of General CORDOVA had been ac cepted by the Government, and General ORIBE appointed Captain-General of Madrid in his place. The mutiny at Valencia appears to have been a very absurd affair. The ringleader was a sergeant, who had by some means or other contrived to seduce a few of the soldiers to attack the bar. racks, though they were not one to ten. :It was reported at Madrid that he had been captured and shot, that several soldiers have been condemned to death, and that the Com mandant of the Gerona regiment, whed hid his arm ampu tated, in consequence of a wound receivedl from the rioters, expired soon after the operation was, performed. The Hem!do infers, from a letter received from, Valencia, that the scheme had been formed by NOGUERA S and Rutz, now residing at Marseilles.

The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with at rticles on the late amalgamation of railway companies, and' the prospects of the poor fur the winter. According to:some ( the journals, there is every probability that the price of trtk ad will ad vance considerably more, as there is a deficit mc y of grain in nearly all the States of the Continent. Bre,sd at Paris is higher than usual, but a rise is anticipated, as a soi . t of panic had manifested itself in some of the provincial to Os. The Semaphore of Marseilles, of the 11th inst., says There is a perfect panic in this city, not merely among tls 3 poorer classes, but even among some of the tradesmen. People there are laying in a provision of bread, as if tilt y were menaced with a siege, and saw no prospect of ikei sh sup plies. The:bakers' shops are beset with customers, an d such HEALTH OF EARL VERULAM.—In answer to the is the eagerness to obtain it, that increased prices are paid, the latestsame inquiries, it was stared that this Nobleman remains in in order to be able to carry off a large quantity at once as a o his s ri r g o r v ou er s v state, there not being any hope enter store for the future."

The past week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce for our market were on a very moderate scale, but those of most other kinds of Grain, except Malt, were somewhat on the increase, and of full average quality. Of foreign Grain and Flour the receipts were by no means large. Fresh up several parcels of English Wheat came to hand, coastwise, as well as by land carriage, yet the supply on offer was by no means large. It being now pretty well ascertained that no immediate change will be made in the import du ties on foreign Wheat, the demand for the finest parcels of both Red and White was steady, at, in some instances, a trifling advance in the currencies ob tained on this day se'nnight. As the improvement was by no means general, we cannot alter our quotations. The middling and inferior kinds of English Wheat—which formed the bulk of the supply—were somewhat inactive, yet the quo tati,ns ruled about stationary; still a clearance was not effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. For the finest parcels we had a fair inquiry; but, in other kinds, next to nothing was doing. In Corn under lock, owing to the firmness on the part of the importers, vet) , little was transacted at late rates. The supply of English Barley being considerably more than ade quate to meet the wants of the dealers, the trade with all descriptions was exceedingly dull, at a decline of fully Is per quarter in the quotations, and a large quantity remained unsold at the market's close. Notwithstanding the quantity of Malt on ofler was small, the Malt trade ruled dull, yet prices were about stationary. Since the returns were made up on Friday, about 20,000 quarters of Irish, and 30,000 quarters of foreign Oats, have come to hand. This large addition had a depressing influence upon thetrade, and 'the quotations suffered a decline of quite Is per quarter. In Beans, only a moderate amount of business was transacted,' yet, prices were supported. White Peas were Is lower; but other kinds were quite as dear. In Flour, next to nothing was doing. The Seed market was steady, at full prices.

The past week's importations of live stock into London have consisted of 269 Beasts and 333 Sheep, from Rotterdam and Harlingen, together with 26 Oxen from Hamburgh, in, for the most part, middling condition. At the outports about 200 Beasts and Sheep have been received from the continent. We bad an offer, 150 foreign Beasts and 130 Sheep, the whole of which found buyers, at fully previous quotations, The following statement, derived from official sources, shows the total imports during the last three years, ending on the 10th of October 1843 1844 - 1845 Oxen and Bulls Cows Calves Sheep 706 _ _ 6,918 Lambs 112 Swine and Hogs Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of Beasts were, even the time of year considered, very limited, and of poor quality, owing to which the Beef trade was brisk, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of quite 4d per Blbs., and at which a good clearance was ef fected. From the northern counties about 1,400 short horns came fresh to hand, while from the eastern districts we re ceived 150 Scots and short horns; from the western and Midland Counties, 400 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 90 Scots; and from Ireland, 150 Beasts. The num ber of Sheep being small, the Mutton trade was somewhat active, and full prices were obtained in every instance. The Veal trade was somewhat active, at Friday's improved cur rencies. In Pigs a full average amount of business was doing, at late rates. Per Sibs. to s] s. d. s. d.I Inferior Beasts •• • . 2 8 2 10 Second quality ditto. 3 0 3 4 [ilk the offal. a. d. to s.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) His Lordship sat at half-past ten o'clock. STOCKEN V. DAWSON. KINDERSLEY replied to the arguments of the counsel on the opposite bide. Mr. Gordon followed on the same side. The case occupied the whole of the day, and was postponed till to-morrow. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour took motions, causes, exceptions, and further directions to-day. WHITEHEAD V. BENNETT. This case came before the Court upon motion on behalf of the plaintiff for a receiver of the estates of the testator in the cause, a gentleman of the name of Barker, who died in the year 1834, leaving several daughters, and poesessed of real property to the extent of 4,000 1 . a year, and lear:::hold to the amount of 500/. a year. The property of the testator was situate near Manchester, and by his will he appointed the defendant, Mr. Robert Sennett, a solicitor of that town, And three other persons, his executors. The defendant Mr. Ben nett, who married one of the daughters of the testator, ak ne proved the will and acted. The plaintiff, who had married another of the daughters of the testator, not feeling satisfied at the course adopted by the defendant, filed his bill for the administration of the testator's estate, and a decree was obtained for that purpose. The plaintiff still feeling dissatisfied with the course pursued by Mr. Ben nett, made the present application for a receiver. At the suggestion of Counsel the case was ordered to stand over till to-morrow, for the purpose of seeing whether the parties could not come to some satisfactory arrangement among themselves. SMITH •. WARDE. This case came before the Court upon further directions and costs. The bill was filed by two of the infant daughters of the late Sir Lionel Smith, Governor of the Mauritius, against Mrs. Warde, a married daughter of the late Sir Lionel Smith, the present Sir Lionel Smith, his son, and two relatives of the family, named Pottinger, who were appointed guardians of the children, and also Sir Henry Pottinger. By the statements in the bill it appeared that Sir Lionel Smith died in the Mau ritius in 1842, and his lady expired three days after him. Mrs. Warde, one of the defendants, married a clergyri:,an belonging to the Government at the Mauritius, and under the care of Mrs. Warde and her husband the other children of Sir Lionel were brought to this country. Sir Lionel, after giving to his wife and children certain sums, directed the residue to be divided among theni equally. Under these circumstances the principal question for the judgment of the Court was what were the rights of the infant plaintiffs in respect of the investment of 12,0001. 3 1 4 per Cent.—whether Sir Lionel took that amount absolute, or whether it formed part of the residuary estate of the testator. The case appears likely to occupy some days, the principal gentlemen of the bar being engaged in it. (Before Vice-Chancellor %VIGIMaI.) RAWLINGS V. MOSS. The defendant again dame into Court on exceptions to the Master's report. All now in dispute was certain professional charges made by Mr. Moss, who was also a trustee on the es tate. The arguments on this subject occupied the attention of the Court throughout,the day, but are entirely void of any general interest. His HONOUtt said, as to allowing the professional charges incurred by the piaiuiit yz , tbre Mr. Moss became trustee he had little reason to he' ate, but take other items of costs and claims, though the ...vere in such a state of confusion that he could hardly ho to arrive at a conclusion 911 them, he would again give his tneideration, •..:- , , .

Counsel conten as there was a waiver of the covenant by Cox, ina sm a ad that the premises had been converted into a shaP' •'$ Sa used for fifteen years, and therefore he could not bra' ejectment against the under tenant.—Rule refused. ~ DOE V. ANGEL. This was a case which was involved in a good de a 2 e f cle : scurity ; and the whole question was as to w hether Ange l ' fendant was the lineal descendant of a man na me a will, who died nearly two hundred years ago , leaving It worded in most curious and rather amusing languag`Afigel contained provision! to the effect that " nobody but st,': o ;ie should inherit the estate, to the end of time ; that if tli v ot bet issue of the last male inheritor should fail, then did Angel should inherit; that a female in the course of D o the inherit, but that she was an Angel, i nas much aaut‘ that will commanOed that, no matter how names in n marriages might be altered, still the parties c ould e 'did E .° herit by changing and becoming Angels; that alheritor4 change accordingly, and therefore all the 'l. s the; were Angels," ice., &c.
