The adaptation of every article to the season, and to th ce e s, has wishes of al purcha, ers, accompanied with extremely low pri clowned the Establishment of E.

Conducted on the Cost-book system. This Company is divided into 10,000/. s' , ares, upon each of which the stun of IL is to be paid upon allotment. These Mines, containing Silver-Lead, Copper, Antimony, and Manganese, are situated in the parish of Endellios, in the county of Cornwall, and are held under leases for 21 years, at one-sixteenth dues COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.

Solicitor—Joha Steavenson, Esq., 25, Gracechurch-street. Chief Inspector of the Mines—Captain William Verret]. Offices of the Company—No. 1, Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, London. The present Company has been formed for working the Old Tre wether Mines, and also those which were known as the Wheal Thomas, situate at Port Isaac, as well as the setts upon the estates of Tresungus, Vennies, and Treore, in the parish of Endellion, in the county of Cornwall, with additional grants connected therewith. The setts of these Mines extend over a surface of about 1,000 acres, as shown in an accompanying map, and contain antimony, copper, and saver-lead in great abundance, and of a very rich description. The principal antimony lode runs nearly north and south through the entire length of the sett ; the Wheal Thomas copper lode runs nearly east and west ; and tine silver-lead lodes at Port Gavern, bein counter lodes, run sonth-east and north-west, intersecting the whole of the other lodes at the depth of 30 fathoms. Five lodes have been already worked upon, and two others partially opened. The principle lode is the great antimony lode, which was worked many years since, and produced anti mony ore to the amount of 72,0001., at a profit of 50,0001., the whole of which was realised in the course of two years. The extent of working on this lode is only 30 fathoms from the surface, and stopped downwards, north and south of the shaft about 50 fathoms in length. At that per'od no steam-engine was on the Mine, and the operati.ms were carried on only in the summer months, by the aid of a horse-whim. During these limited workings, six men, in the course of six months, raised anti mony ore which realised a profit of 6,0001. The adventurers, after incurring considerable expenditure in continuing the deep edit, ex perienced great difficulties, in consequence of failing to make ar rangements with the owners of some intervening grouLd, who tionre quired an exorbitant sum t o p ass through their lands. Applica was afterwards made to the lord of the manor for a renewed lease upon more liberal terms, the due being then one.seventh, but it being refused, and the whole of the works filling with water, owing to an exuaordinary flood, the Mine was then abandoned. About four years since four adventurers took up the sett, and expended upwards of 700/. upon the Mine, but discontinued working in consequence of the death of the principal patty, and the continuance of the difficul ties with the proprietors of the ground above referred to. Satisfactory arrangements have, however, now been made with the various owners of these lands, and the Company can, therefore, now completecan, the old workings as forme rl y proposed. Upwards of 20,0001. have been expended upon the various works on the Mine, which, to a great extent, will be , avallable for the future operations of the Company. All the deep and shallow adits have just been opened, and are now dry, and their entrances secured and fully completed; '7OO fathoms of adits have been driven and are now open, and eight shafts have been sunk, two of which are 30 fathoms each in depth. A lease has been obtained from the Eight Honourable the Earl of Fortescue and Viscount Ebrington, for 21 years, at one-sixteenth dues. A lease has also been rranted by the trustees of the lag estates of Tresungus and Vennus tor 21 years, at the same amount of dues; and like terms have been made with the owners of the adjoining setts. The value of the oro from the Old Trewether lodes has long been acknowledged ; and as a proof of the same the trustees of the British Museum, in the year 1825, purchased, for 1,0001., various specimens of the ilver-lead, antimony, and copper ore, the production of these Mines, s which can be seen in the mineralogical department of that institution. This Company is divided into 10,000 Shares, upon each of which the sum of 1/, Is to be paid upon allotment ; but only 3,500 shares, in addition to those constituting the purchase money, will be issued at present, as it is believed that that amount will be more than ample to complete the present work ings, a nd secure a remunerative return. It has bee n satisfac torily proved by some of the men who were formerly employed, that, at the period of the water breaking into the Mine, about thirty-five tons of antimony ore }compelled to be brought to sur face, but the Workmen were hastily to abandon it, as well as all their tools, which will be found and rendered avail able when the shaft has been cleared, which can be effected within a fortnight after the 20-horse power portable steam-engine has bees set to work. This ore will produce 75 per cent. of the regulus of antimony, which, at the present market price of that metal, will realise about 1,0001. The remaining 2,000 shares will form a reserve fund for working the additional setts which have been obtained, and will be issued at a premium of 2/. upon each share, the full amount of which will be carried to the credit of the Company. Applications for the unallotted shares, accompanied by satisfactory references, may be made, on or before the 29th instant, in the usual form, to the Committee of Management, at the offices of the Com pany, No, 1, Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, London. COMMITTAL OF A CLERGYMAN. — At Mansfield, on Saturday, the Rev. T. Atkins was committed for trial, in default of bail, charged with sending a defamatory letter to the Rev. Dr. Cursham, Vicar of Mansfield, through the post. The defendant was to have been tried for a similar offence at the last assizes, but the trial was postponed, and he was held to bail in 5001., to be of good behaviour to Dr. Cursham. He had now re newed the offence by sending to Dr. Cursham a letter, of which the hand-writing was proved to be his, of a most virulent and libellous character. Mr. Atkins ad mitted having written the letter. He had of course no ill will to Dr.Cursham, but had felt it his duty to make charges on what he thought sufficient evidence, which he should rejoice to have disproved. He made some frivolous excuses for having broken his engagement not to annoy Dr. Cursham while the case was pending. The magistrates ordered him to be committed for trial, unless he could find bail. Mr. Atkins appealed to the persons present to bail him, but no one coming forward, he was taken to prison,—SteSield Independent. STOPPAGE OF THE. SULINA CHANNEL OF THE DANUBE. A voluminous correspondence, which has taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Russian Government relative to 'the obstructions of the naviga . tion of the Sulina Channel of the Danube, has just been laid before Parliament. From the printed documents ft would seem that the complaints on this subject are not by any means of a recent date, for the correspondiice, which extends over a period of nearly five years—from the 9th of February, 1849, to the 15th of July, 1853—commences with a communication from Lord Palmerston to Mr. Buchanan, who is directed to draw Count Nesselrode's attention to a dispatch of the British Consul at Varna on the sub ject of the accidents occurring to British shipping at the mouth of the Danube. Mr. Buchanan is also instructed to point out the inconveniences sustained by the com merce of nations at the mouth of the Danube from the want of good pilots, and from the obstruction created by the remains of vessels which have been wrecked or sunk in entering the river. In another dispatch, writ ten at the close of 1849, Lord Bloomfield, her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersburg, was also directed by Lord Palmerston, in explicit' terms,•to point out to the Russian Minister that it was required for the purposes of commerce, not only that the a ccumu l a ti ng s hoals at the mouth of the Danube should be dredged so as to deepen the channel, but also that the remains of vessels which have been there wrecked should be removed, it being stated that some of these wrecks still remained in the water-way, and firmed dangerous obstructions to the navigation. In reply to this , remonstrance, Count Nesselrode assured the Ambassador that orders had been given to the local authorities, which he hoped would prove satisfactory to her Majesty's G overnment, although all that was required culla be executed so speedily as was expected. The correspondence - which follows after this is no thing more than the reiterati:n, of complaints, OP.giese grounds, from the consuls and others orl - the spot, in which the tardiness of the Russian authorities is con tinually remonstrated against. Later on, however, it would appear some little exertion was made on their part to remove the cause of these constant complaints. With respect to the possibility of deepening the chan nel in question, Vice-Consul Cunningham, in a report written from Galatz, in September, 1850, says "There is little doubt that s small steam-boat of 20 or 30 horse power passing and repassing over the bar when the weather permitted, drawing a heavy iron rake after her, would keep the water on the Sulina bar at 16, per haps 18, feet English (at least it appears that while the Sulina was in possession of the Turks, the depth of 16 feet was kept on the bar by causing each sailing vessel as she went out to drag a similar rake after her) ; and it is evi dent this might be done ata very trifling expense, in com parison of the advantage gained. It appears to be quite an unnecessary expense to lave a regular dredging machine to lift up the mud and to Wow it into boats to be carried out to sea. A great deal is said of the necessity, or at least of the great advantage, there would be in contracting the mouth of the river by means of a palisade, which it is pretended would give mot) force to the current, and thus sweep away the bar ; and it is added that it was by such a contraction of the mouth of the river that the Turks kept deep water on the bar. '.to this manner of attempting to keep deep water there are several objections ; it is not cer tain it would succeed. II is true th e Turks had a palisade of the kind, but it does rot appear to be ascertained that it was for the purpose of deepening the water, and at all events they applied further means ; it would cost a great deal of money to make the palisade, and it would require many years to complete it, even were it commenced and carried forward in earnest. In every case, even if it should be decided on to construct a palisade, a steam-boat with a rake, or a regular dredging machine, should be set ' to work as early as possible, and continued steadily at the ' operation. But although it may easily be shown that there is no physical difficulty in removing the obstructions in the Su -lina, the question is, Who is to remove them ? and who is to pay the expense ? It is not intended here to enter at all on the political question of the rights of different powers to the Danube, or to the navigation of the Danube ; it is intended merely to treat it as a commercial question, and one of profit and loss. " There seems to be four ways of undertaking the need ful work for keeping the Sulina free from impediments : " L That the Russian Government undertake to do it. "2. That the Russian Government give it over to con tractors. " 3. That the different nations interested in the naviga tion of the Danube should name commissioners (as seems to be done on the Rhine), and the commission to attend to the duties of clearing the Sulina. " 4. A commission being named, that the commissioners give to contractors the charge of keeping the Sulina clear. " But whoever undertakes the charge of clearing the river of obstructions should be bound in certain penalties to do so, and should have a revenue to cover expenses. " Without entering on political questions, it may be ob served that it is unjust to expect that Russia should re. move obstructions at her own expense when she has no interest in doing so, but, on th() contrary, a direct and very great interest in keeping it closed, as all the grain that comes out of the Danube (excllpting• some thirty car goes from Ismail and Reni) enters into direct competition with the grain of Russia in all the Markets of the Mediter ranean and Europe - and to remove the difficulties of the navigation of the Danube is to lkwer charges of bringing Danube grain to market by 3s. Per quarter, and to bring it into competition with Russian Black Sea wheat with this further reduction of cost. And if an assertion may be made, based on the experience of ten years during which the Russians were free, and ten years during which they were bound to Austria by treaty to clear the Sulina, Russia will not open the Danube at her own expense and of her own free will. Neither is it right to say that British ves sels shall not pay a tax, under any circumstance, for navi togatpinayg the ola Danube, a p n o u u b n e d , even s io lighterageo f a few shillings, i n place There fore, if the Russian Government undertakes to deepen the Danube, it ought to be bound to certain conditions, and a fair tax levied on every vessel which has the benefit of a o n f d i fe . ave T t h h e e r m e_ deep water ; the same conditions to be imposed on con tractors in case the undertaking be carried out by contract, and these conditions and taxes on vessels should be some what similar to the inclosed." Britannic Majesty's Government sharing this opinion with I us. We are likewise convinced that, like ourselves, it considers as unfounded the prejudices entertained by the English commerce with reference to the presumed designs of our Government in regard to the commercial relations of the Danubian provinces. "If it is borne in mind that it was Russia who, at the cost of many sacrifices, obtained for those provinces the advantages, the security, and the franchises which they enjoy, it cannot fail to be acknowledged that the calcula tions of a narrow commercial policy did not at all enter into the calculations of our Government. It continues to cherish a benevolent solicitude for the development of the prosperity of the countries bordering on the Danube. Notwithstanding the crisis which they have had to endure under the influence of recent commotions, to which Russia, in concert with the Porte, has happily put an cud, those countries witness the progressive increase of their resources. The natural outlet which the Danube secures to their en terprise is freely accessible to the ships of all nations. We desire no better proof of this than the evidence of the British consul, which proves that the Sulina channel has at the present time a depth of 124 feet. " For our own part we should be happy, if, at the very centre of our commercial activity, our efforts could afford the like depth to the bed of the Neva. If here, as else where, sand-banks oppose to the labou rs o f ar t res i s t ance difficult to be overcome, it must not be therefore inferred that the commerce of Odessa is jealous of that of St. Peters _ " - A truism is connected with these considerations which is so generally admitted as not to require remark : in all countries where cultivation is increasing, the body of water in the great rivers has a tendency to decrease. The Rhine, the Elbe, and with us the Dniester and the Dnieper, have undergone this law. Is it to be wondered at that the Danube does the same ? Twenty years ago it is said this river had 16 feet depth at its mouth ; if it is so, the Turk ish engineers deserved no more credit for it than ours blame now that the depth of water appears to be reduced to 121 feet. The cause of it must be sought in the altera tions which result by degrees from the nature of things. Thus the city of Taganrog resigns itself to seeing its port become by degrees empty in proportion as the sea of Azov retires. "No Government, however good its intentions may be, can repair the irresistible effect - of time. It can only answer for tho good will, the zeal, the perseverance which it exhibits in order to remedy difficulties which nature has created, and which it can only contend against within the limits of possibility. This is what we have done, and will continue•to do, without allowing ourselves to be influenced or discouraged in our efforts by the unjust reproaches which in any quarter might bo made against the intentions of our Government. "It is satisfactory for us to infer from Lord Palmers ton's dispatch that her Britannic Majesty's Government does not share these prejudices. It has considered it right to point them out to us such as they are. For our part we state to it, with the same frankness, in what they appear to be erroneous. From this mutual interchange of ideas, both Cabinets must derive the conviction that they both have equally t ally o a t t h h em boearttthh. the interestyou will hvofathee the c goodness , ommerewh which is commo n M. le Baron, to express this truth to Lord Palmerston in fur nishing him with a copy of this dispatch.— NESSEReceive, &c . ~ (Signed) " LRODE" [Piu.c - E SD. state of the tedious negotiations which have been carried on with reference to the question : " St. Petersburg, July 15, 1853. " In obedience to the orders contained in your lord. ship's dispatch of the sth inst., I have taken the earliest opportunity which presented itself for representing to Count Nesselrode the grievous injury inflicted upon Eng lish navigation, as upon that of other countries, by the neglect of the ordinary precautions necessary for clearing away the obstacles which are allowed to obstruct the Sulina pass. " A few references to the dispatch addressed by Mr. Vice-Consul Lloyd were sufficient to establish the urgency of a remedy for the evil complained of being provided by the Russian Government, and I must say that the state ment appeared to produce considerable effect upon the Chancellor, and his Excellency assured Inc that the matter should be carefully examined. " I have thought it advisable to communicate Mr. Vice- Consul Lloyd's dispatches to Baron Lebzeltern, the Aus trian mission having been repeatedly enjoined to snake re presentations upon the subject, of such deep interest to all countries trading on the Danube." 1 7-( 2,,a;t/6 LAW INTELLIGENCE. The Russian authorities, on the other hand, allege that the method of using rakes alone adopted by the Turks was quite ineffectual, and that the channel could only be deepened by a dredging machine, which they had procured from England. The British consuls, on the contrary, condemn the dredging machine, and strongly insist upon a return to the old method of clear ing the passage. A great deal of irritation appears to have prevailed on the part of the Russian Government at this time, and the affair thus remained when Lord Palmerston addressed the following letter to Sir G. 11. Seymour, the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg : " Foreign-office, Oct. 28, 1851. "Sir,—l have received your dispatch of the 17th inst., inclosing a copy of a memorandum given to you by M. de Seniavine respecting the measures to be adopted for clear ing the Sulina channel of the Danube. " I have to remark that the Russian Government ought not to take amiss the urgency of the representations of her Majesty's Government in this respect, seeing that no effec tual measures have been adopted by that Government for clearing this channel, though that mouth of the Danube has been in the possession of Russia three-and -twenty years, and although great injury and inconvenience has been sustained by commerce from the gradual choking up of the bar, and although during th e l as t twelve years tho British Government has made repeated representations, and the Russian Government has made repeated promises, on this subject. " With respect to the memorandum inclosed in your dis patch, I have to instruct you to observe that her Majesty's Government have been informed that the method practised by the Turks for clearing the channel maintained a depth of 16 feet water on the bar, and that method cannot there fore be said to have failed, nor to have been altogether in sufficient for the passage of sea - going ships; whereas the dredging machine which has been sent to Sulina, whether owing to the want of skill or the want of good-Will of the persons locally employed, has produced hitherto no result whatever, and it has now been sent to Sebastopol, so that all attempts to deepen the channel by means of that ma chine appear to be for the present given up. " You will give a copy of this dispatch to Count Nessel rode. " I am, &e., (Signed) " PALMERSTON." The following communication from Count Nesselrode was forwarded to Lord Palmerston by Baron Brunnow on the hubleat of a report from the British Consul at Galatz, which does not, however, appear to have been a very favourable one : (Translation.) " St. Petersburg, Oct, 11-23, 1851. "M. le Baron,—Sir Hamilton Seymour has had the goodness to communicate to me the report of the English consul at Galatz, which gives an account of the operations of the dredging machine recently purchased in England by our authorities in the Black Sea, with the view of im proving and extending the system of clearance at the mouth of the Danube. "This report, which your Excellency has read, marks the daily progress of these works, and shows their results. They have seemed to us satisfactory, so far as they could be so, considering the local difficulties to be contended with, and which it is right in such a work strictly to take into account. "These results, it may be supposed, would have been still more complete and more speedy, if the dredging ma chine, ordered at our expense in England, had not required repair. An accidental interruption of the works, which cannot be attributed to the persons entrusted with them, has from time to time been the consequence. ".We have reason to suppose that the information ob tained on the spot by the English consul, as regards the efficacious manner in which these works are carried on, would have sufficed to satisfy the British Government of the steadiness of the efforts which the Imperial Govern ment has employed for an object of such great interest to commerce. " To our great regret, we perceive that a less favourable impression prevails in the English public. We find an indication of this in the annexed dispatch from Lord Pal merston, which Sir Hamilton Seymour has just communi cated to me. It forms the sequel of a memorandum which had been given me by Mr. Buchanan, on the advantages of the system of clearance established under the Ottoman Government previously to the treaty of Adrianople. " It cannot be our intention, M. le Baron, to depreciate the zeal shown by the Turkish engineers, nor the merit of the mechanical means employed by them, at the time when the charge of maintaining the passage of the Sulina devolved on them. But we have imagined that a dredging machine constructed in England must necessarily, with a view to the same object, inspire us with more confidence, and hold out to us a greater prospect of success. Notwith standing the observations contained in Mr. Buchanan's memorandum in regard to the advantages of the Turkish system, we persist in granting a preference to the improve ments which the mechanical art in England has introduc into this branch of the service. We have no doubt of her From this time the complaints still appeared to have been continued, and remonstrances were addressed to the Russian Government on this point both by Lord Malmesbury and Lord Clarendon. In June last Vice-Consul Lloyd made the following report to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe : " Sulina, Juno 4, 1853. " I have the honour to report to your lordship that dur ing the last year, and up to the present time, the Russian authorities have done nothing effectual towards clearing the bar of Sulina, the mud machine employed for that purpose having been out on the bar but ten times during the last year, working on an average about four hours, and the last time she was out not having even put her buckets down ' • the machine was taken to Nicolaieff in the autumn, and it was said would not return ' • it was, however, brought back here a few days ago, but has not yet commenced working. " The average depth of the water up to the present period is, as it always has been since I have known the bar, about ten feet English, but is subject to great variations for short periods of time. When the wind is from the eastward, from the north and east, or .from the south and east, act ing in a contrary direction to the current and upon its surface, the water cannot go out so freely, and the water in the river and on the bar rise to such an extent some times that the whole of the town of Sulina is flooded. When the wind takes an easterly direction, at first it is pos sible for very light vessels to enter the river (none being able to go out unless the wind is very light indeed), but as there is upon these occasions always a sea upon the bar, it is danger ous for them, as they frequently strike, lose way, or damage their rudders, if they do not immediately spring a leak and fill, and are driven ashore, where they are wrecked. If the wind has continued for two or three days at all strong in the same easterly direction, the water has risen con siderably, as stated, and it would be naturally concluded there would be plenty of water on the bar ; such, however is not the case ; the same cause which prevents the egress of the water prevents the egress of the mud and sand brought down with the current, and these deposit them selves upon the bar, the surface of which also thus rises at the same time that the water rises, and when a depth of 11 or 12 feet might be expected, there is only found 8 feet or feet water; and vessels outward bound, which had lightened to 10 feet water, and had been during the con trary wind accumulating at Sulina, waiting for the first change of wind to go out, have found themselves unable to proceed, all the lighters being engaged. " This has happened to a remarkable extent the last few days, there had been 10 feet water as usual on the bar, but the wind being easterly the vessels accumulated at Sulina, on a change of wind there was found to be but 8 feet water, and the Austrian weekly steamer from Constantinople, with goods and passengers for the Danube, having arrived off tho bar last Thursday, the 2d inst., was unable to enter the river, the passengers having nearly all landed here, un able to proceed, and greatly embarrassed for want of acco modation, the steamer having discharged her cargo into vessels employed as lighters, but still unable to pass the bar. Yesterday, the 3d, the wind shifted to the west, and the bar was tolerably smooth, but there was only 84 English feet upon it ; there is an immense number of vessels here outward bound, indeed the river is crowded with them for a couple of miles, and about five-and-twenty English ves sels in the number, none lightened sufficiently to go out, and many not all, and every lighter in the place, or free vessel engaged as lighter, already taken up. To-day, the 4th, the wind has again shifted to the eastward ; the water has risen a little in consequence, but there is such a sea on the bar it is impossible to sound it accurately, and of course no vessels going out. " I have no deubt but, as on former occasions when the wind shifts to the westward, and continues so for a few days the current having a free egress, the extra sand and mud ac cumulated on the bar will be cleared away, and the usual average depth of ten feet be obtained, but it is probable this will not happen so soon at the present moment, as, from the melting of the snow in the interior of Europe, the river has overflowed its banks in some places to such an extent that it is very difficult for the pilots and masters to know where the channel of the river lays, the whole of the lower part of Toultcha being entirely under water, and the banks on both sides the river, above and below, being entirely covered as far as the eye can see in many places ; and until this extra body of water disappears, an extra quantity of sand and mud will bo constantly brought down and depo sited on the bar ; but eventually, I believe, ten feet, or nearly so, in the course of time will be again found on the bar. In the meantime, however, this obstruction to the navigation and loss of property by shipwreck is daily be coming more serious, owingincreasing to the yearly num ber of vessels that come trade in the Danube ; and it is high time, if the Russian Government are the parties bound to keep the mouth clear, that they should be forced to take effective steps towards doing so, the single mud machine employed by them on the few occasions that it really can be worked (supposing good intentions on their part towards clearing the bar), on account of the vessels coming in and going out, and the sea and swell usually running upon the bar, being worse than useless, as, when at work, the effect produced being nothing at all, it is a serious obstruction in itself to vessels going in and coming out over the bar. " Unfortunately, nb parties here in the Danube have any direct interest in clearing the bar or facilitating the navigation ; or if they have, have no direct influence with the Russian authorities ; the only party directly interested that I am aware of, being the different insurance com panies ; the vessels themselves are insured, and also the cargoes. `• The bar of Sulina furnishes the means of existence to the inhabitants of Sulina, by the employment of lighters, and the expenses incurred by the vessels during their de tention. " At first, vessels would load outside the bar, as at pre sent, with lighters to pass the bar ; but in the course of a very short time, the inhabitants, finding their interest, would soon find the means of clearing the bar ; the only apparent effectual means being the running out of a line of piles to the black buoy to the south ward in the first instance, and another to the red buoy to the north ; and the channel, being thus contracted, would, with little as sistance, keep himself clear, to say nothing of the facilities that would be thus afforded for making lines fast for the vessels to warp in. " Last year no English vessels at all were lost at Sulina, though many foreign and lighters were lost ; the only_ serious accidents to English vessels bei n g the stranding of the Europa, of Shields, bound to the Danube in ballast, in the month of March, and that of the Lourenci of London, also bound up in ballast, in the month of Novemberlast both vessels were got off , t hou g h at considerable ex pense, and proceeded up the river and loaded for Great Britain. " But this spring, among an v im . numbermenesedania ed,oftheoeinglny vessels totally lost, of Arbroath, 1 0 9 n 9 British vessel lost wa a s u t d ho ul S a to u r - m m Q G u l a r i i e s e t n z , tons, being bound in ballast for .

The last letter of the correspondence, from Sir George Seymour to Lord Clarendon, thus describes the present HOUSE OF LORDS.—AUG• 19. (Appeals.—Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, Lord Truro, Lord St. Leonards, &e.) EGERTON V. BROWNLOW.—THE EARL OF BRIDGEWATER'S ESTATES. Their Lordships to-day gave final judgment in this case, which has been for some time before the house. It will be remembered that the case relates to the singular will of the late Earl of Bridgewater, by which certain estates, said to produce between 50,0001. and 70,0001. a year, and which were bequeathed to the late Lord Al ford, on condition that during his lifetime he attained to the dignity of Marquis or Duke of Bridgewater. The case was argued at great length before their lordships, assisted by the learned judges of th e common law courts. The. appellant-is. John William Spencer Brownlow Eger ton (formerly John William Spencer Brownlow Horne Cust, he having assumed the name and arms of Eger ton), commonly called Lord Alford (eldest son of the late Lord Afford), an infant, who appears by his next friend, the Hon. Peregrine Francis Cust ; and the re spondents are John Earl Brownlow and the Earl of Powis (trustees under the will of the Earl of Bridge water), Lady Marianne Margaret Egerton (formerly Alford), widow of the late L or d Alf or d, w h ose j o i nture is charged on the estates in question, the Hon. Charles Henry Egerton, second son of Earl Brownlow, who is the party interested, being next in remainder to Lord Alford on the failure of the provisions under which he was to inherit ; Wilbraham Egerton the elder, William Talton Egerton, and Wilbraham Egerton the younger, who were parties in contingent remainder uner the will. The late Lord Alford, in whom the estates were vested, having died without attaining the dignity of Duke or Marquis of Bridgewater, the re spondent, Charles Henry Egerton, the next in remainder, claimed the estates, and the present appellant, the son and heir of Lord Alford, heir-at-law of the testator, filed a bill in Chancery, praying that it might be declared that he was under the will equitable tenant in tail male of the estate other than leasehold for years, and abso lutely !entitled to the estates held upon lease, on the ground that the condition in the will, the non-fulfilment of which it was alleged determined the right of the late Lord Alford and his heirs, was void, on the ground of public policy. The cause was heard before Lord Cran worth, when Lord Justice, who decided that the provi sion of the will not having been complied with by Lord Alford, no estate vested in his heirs, but that Charles Henry Egerton, the respondent, was entitled to the estates. The present appeal was then brought. On Friday last the learned Judges gave their opinions on the questions submitted to them, which went in sub stance to the decision of the appellant's right to succeed to the estates. A majority of their lordships were of opinion that the appellant did not take any estate after the death of his father, the late Lord Alford, but that they passed to the next in remainder, the respondent, Charles Henry Egerton. The Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Platt gave an opinion in favour of the right of the appellant, the present Lord Alford. Lord Lyndhurst rose to move the judgment of the house. He said that he had heard the opinions of the learned judges, and he had since well considered those opinions, and he felt bound to declare that, with all due respect for the learned judges, he had been compelled to arrive at a different conclusion from that which had been expressed by the majority of that body. He thought that it was greatly to be lamented that those opinions had been prepared during the heavy pressure of business which the assizes, of necessity, threw upon the judges, and consequently without a sufficient oppor tunity for those learned persons to consult authorities having reference to the subject involved in their answers to the questions which had been submitted to them by that house. In this case there were two questions, namely, whether the condition in this proviso was a condition precedent or a condition subsequent ; and then, whether it was to be considered as being a valid condition, or a condition against public policy, and therefore void. As to the first of those questions, it could not be disputed that this will bad been drawn by a gentleman who was well aware of all the terms, science and art of his profession, and that in the application of them lie had exercised the greatest skill. If the house would look at the particular clause in the will, which constituted the real ground of dispute, they find that in that, as in other parts of that instru ment, that on the non-occurrence of certain events, the estate which was first given was to cease and determine. The application of these words convinced him that the condition was a condition subsequent, and not a condi tion precedent. Looking at the whole of the will, he had no doubt that that had been the intention of the testator. Well, then, the question was, whether this condition subsequent was such a condition as the law would carry into effect, or whether it was one which the law would declare to be null and void, upon the ground that it was opposed to public policy ? If it was to be regarded as a condition against public policy, then the effect would be—the condition being a condition subse quent--the same as though there had been no condi tion or no proviso in the will ; but if the condition had been a condition precedent, then it would be otherwise. This was a rule of construction which, although it might appear to be simply technical, yet was not so in truth. What was the effect of this proviso. It was an estab lished rule that no condition against public policy should be good, but should be regarded and treated as illegal and void. This was laid down in Shepherd's Touch stone, as well as in Coke, and many other works, all of the highest authority. In the more recent times Lord Hardwick had acted upon this opinion, and in a case quoted, Chief Justice Bacon had announced that grounds of public policy, when they arose, ought to have great weight ; and, although there might be no doles males, still, if in the result, the well-being or interest of the public in general was to be affected, the Court must be governed by considerations of public interest , and then he had afterwards stated that as these grounds of public interest weighed heavily with him, it was not necessary for him to cite authorities to establish this well known rule of law. Whatever cases fell within the rule must be governed as they arose, and each must depend upon its own peculiar circumstances. Hence, when the case of cestui que trust originally came to be considered, and the rights of the attorney and client, as well as the egality of policies on seamen's wages, each of those cases, although subjected to the operation of the same common principle, had that principle applied to it in reference to its own particular and peculiar circumstances, as to each case, the inquiry must be in respect of the ten dency of the act to interfere with the public interest. The rule was clear. Whether the particular facts of the case brought it within the scope of the rule it was the province of the courts to decide, and in determining the question the courts would act with due caution. The present was a case where there was a device to Lord Alford, who would take an estate which he must afterwards hold under a certain condition. The appellant might at any time become a peer. The duties of a peer were of a grave and important character. Ile had duties in the Legislature, as well as those of a judicial character, to accomplish. Moreover, a peer had a right to demand an audience of the Sovereign, to offer his advice upon the subject of public affairs. These were high and important functions, both as to power and to duty. In those, as well as in political matters, a peer was bound to act free from any improper motive—least of all ought there to be any motive of a pecuniary cha racter to influence his movements in the discharge of the duties attached to his position and station. This was the position, and these were the obligations and duties of a peer. It followed, then, that any disposition of property which in any way tended to interfere with the discharge of those duties was at variance with the public good. It was very true that the creation of peer ages emanates from the Crown, and that respect for the sovereign would not permit the belief or supposition that the Crown would act in any o th er way than upon the best and purest motives. All, however, knew that prac tically the power of creating peers was called into action by the advice of the Ministers of the Crown, and the honours were not granted exceptlon their suggestion and recommendation, and in most instances were not con ceded by the Crown unless in cases of distinguished pub lic services. What, then, was the practical operation of this state of things in reference to the proviso in this will ? Why it was this. This estate was made to depend upon an emotion in the peerage. Was it reasonable to conceive that such a state of things would not have a tendency to ope rate on the person thus interested in a manner calculated to induce him to do whatever would secure the permanence of the estate to his descendants. Was it not reasonable to conceive that the operation would be to lead him to support those measures which the minister of the day might bring forward, and to uphold them without that degree of scru pulous regard to their necessity by which he ought to be governed, and without that freedom of agency by which his conduct ought to be regulated. That there might be honourable exceptions to such a state of things, it was impossible to doubt ; but then there might be other per sons who from the apprehension of being opposite. This was in itself an evil to be g au d a b e l i .d p a t s e s d t e h a e ga di j r n e s c t t adoption of one particular course, would . Looking at mankind in general, they must conclusion that such a state of things ha d a Powerful arrive at theten dency to cripple the free agency of the person and to affect his discharge the importannuties of his posi tion as a member of the peerage. Hence it followed that the conditions of this proviso must be at variance with the public good. Every case must be taken and decided • upon its own circumstances, as applicable to the established rule of law, according to Lord Hardwicke, in relation to political considerations of public policy in the most extends and widest sense of the term. It was true, that otherlotives acted upon men than that of the mere lore 0 4 money. The love of power, and the thirst for office,- would, more or less, Influence the conduct of some persons in the performance of the important duties to which he had made reference. Such motives, how ever, were beyond the reach of law, and for that very reason they offered no inference why others should be added to them. The question here was, whether this proviso was to be regarded as having a tendency to lead to the evils he had pointed out. In his opinion it had that tendency, and consequently, he considered, that it was against public good, and, therefore, illegal and void. Upon these grounds it was that he gave his opinion, al though with some degree of hesitation, seeing that it was at variance with those of the majority of the judges, that the decree of the court below should be reversed, as that decree had held that the proviso was a condition precedent. He was clearly of opinion that it was a con dition subsequent, and therefore it was illegal and void, and could not affect the estate which had vested in Lord Alford. Lord Brougham (who read his judgment in a very low tone of voice) said he concurred in the opinion which had been expressed by Lord Lyndhurst. If the condition was a good condition, it would have its due effect. If it was a condition precedent, it would prevent the estate vesting, but if it was a condition subsequent, it would annihilate the estate which had vested. The noble and learned lord then read the several clauses of the will, with the view of showing what was the intention of the testa tor, and said that, in his view, the proviso was a con dition subsequent. The proviso was, that if Lord Alford did not acquire in his lifetime the title of Marquis or Duke of Bridgewater, the estate should pass from the heirs male of his body, and go over. The elevation of Earl Brownlow to either of these dignities was to vest the estates in him and his heirs male ; and in the course of the argument it had been supposed that had the expres sion been "created," and not "acquired," the same con siderations would not apply. The house had to regard the expressions, not as they ought or might have been, but as they were found to be in the will itself. The noble and learned lord, after a very elaborate inquiry into • the circumstances of the case, again directed the atten tion of the house to the various clauses of the will, and concluded by offering it as his decided 4:Binion that the - - proviso was a condition subsequent 'and noia can n. ditio— re f o o f r e, opinion that it t that t s t i h ll e egzl or a e n e d nf void th e ; court below ought to be re v e rsed . Lord Truro next proceeded to rea d his judgment ; the he precedent,was consequentl y and, and learned lord entirely concurred with the opi nions and reasons which had been advanced by his noble and learned friends who bad preceded him . This condi tion was a condition subsequent and not a condition. precedent ; it was against public policy, and was conse quently illegal and void. Lord St. Leonardo stated very elaborately the grounds upon which he entertained the same opinion as his three noble and learned friends. The property which, if this proviso were a condition precedent would pass over, was of the value of two millions. He lamented that the learned judges should have been pressed to give majority of thetheir opi n i ons during the circuits, and he felt equa l re gret that th e conclusion he had arrived at, after most careful examination of th l e ea c r as ne e d , was opposed sed Hewas tothose of the of The e e L i d o e r d d o C p h i n a o c n e e l o w r h s i e a h i d ha h e d fe h l e t e g l i; e 4 a i t v e h n e s h i y t a t f o i o u n r , opinion, th ere f ore, that the decree of the court below ought to be r everse d . noble and learned members o f th at h ouse adverse to his own, thed in rising to say that, notwithstanding all the arguments which had been submitted at the bar of the house, and notwithstanding the opinio ns w hi c h t h e house had that day heard expressed by the four noble and learned lords, • he still entertained the same opinion as that which he had pronounced when delivering the decree now appealed from in the court below, and for the same reasons, too, which in the printed case the house had had an oppor tunity of perusing. If the arguments of counsel, or the grounds put forth by his noble and learned friends, had operated upon his mind so as to prove to him that the view he had taken was erroneous, he would have de clared upon the present occasion that he had been mistaken in the degree he had pronounced ; but, as he had already stated to the house, his previous conviction had not been disturbed. His opinion on the former occasion was, that the proviso was a condition precedent, and not a condition subsequent, and that opinion he still en tertained. He did not consider it necessary to place his reasons again before the house on that occasion, but he would add, that he had not in the court below arrived at his conclusions without mature consideration. He regretted that he differed from his four learned friends, and if one circumstance could console him for being at variance in opinion with those noble and learned lords, he should find it in the fact, that the majority of the learned judges concurred in the view he had taken of this case. The decree of the court below was ordered to be re versed, and the costs of all the parties to the suit were ordered to be paid out of the estate. The effect of this decision is that the present Lord Alford becomes the possessor of the vast property in dispute. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—YESTERDA.T. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) N RE WILLIAM LIONEL FELIX TOLEMACRE, COMISIONLT CALLED LORD HUNTINGTOWER. To-clay was fixed for the last examination meeting in the matter of this bankrupt, described as of Grosvenor square, horse dealer, the proceedings in whose case, under a former bankruptcy in 1842, and again in 1844, when his lordship applied for relief as an insolvent debtor, have before been reported. The petition under which the bankrupt now applied was dated July 6th of the present year, and was at the instance of Mr. Cart tar, solicitor, Greenwich. It may be remembered that after the previous failures his lordship had taken upon himself the renewal of certain debts, and it was said that the present bankruptcy was to relieve himself of those renewals. The balance sheet, consisting of 40 folios, and extending from January, 1849, to July, 1853, was prepared by Mr. J. D. Fowell, of Basinghall-street ; and contains the names of upwards of 100 creditors (the debts contracted since the former failures), and showed the following results : Debtor—To creditors, 3,086/. ; ditto on debts under former bankruptcy renewed, 8,766/. ; ditto under insol vency, 2,513/. ; liabilities under former bankruptcy re newed, 42,260/. ; ditto under insolvency, 4,650/. ; cash from relations, 3,394/. Creditor—By deficiency January 1849, 13,006/. ; doubtful debtor, 150/. ; property given up to assignees, 120/. ; losses, 140/. ; law costs, 960/. ; trade expenses, 7281. ; house expenses, 3,367/. ; liabilities as per contra, 46,910/. The official assignee, Mr. Stansfeld, reported that the bankrupt had kept no books, but the accounts filed were in his (Mr. Stansfeld's) opinion the best that could be rendered, and they were in the proper form. His Honour—ls there any opposition to the bankrupt's passing ? Mr. Lucas—l appear for the assignees, who are quite satisfied with the bankrupt's accounts. His Honour—l observe that the greater portion of the bankrupt's debts arise from the renewal of old debts—a most mischievous practice. lam glad that this cannot occur again. The last statute puts an end to those re newals. The attention of the assignees must be particu larly called to these renewed debts, particularly to the bond of 20,0001. Mr. Lucas—The case is now in respectable hands, and the assignees will do all that is right. The bankrupt then passed his examination. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-Aug. 19. THIRD COURT. (Before Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C.) Charles Wingrove, a very respectable-looking, man, surrendered to take his trial, for wilful and corrupt per jury, committed by him before the judge of the Uxbridge County Court, in an action to which he was defendant, and Thomas Dodd Grove, the plaintiff. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Itebton prosecuted, and Mr. Serjeant Thomas, with whom was Mr. Carter, were for the defence.

It would appear that some quarrel had taken place between them, arising out of the purchase of a cow by prosecutor. On the 10th of June, the prosecutor was at the Bull, at Gerrard's-cross, and was slightly the worse for liquor, but not very bad. After leaving the Bull, he proceeded on the road in the direction of the prisoner's house, near to which stood a public-house called the French Horn. Upon passing the French Horn, between that and the pri soner's house, he saw a cask lying on the road, belong ing to a brewer whom he knew. This he picked up and ew took back to the French Horn, where ho stayed for a few minutes and had a small quantity of beer, and he then went sn on his road and had to pass the prisoner's _ll ontnionegcoofmt to thesaegCrain. l 1 e , ed him down, and violent blow on the nose, which knock s tra n n er th h e ad p l ri ie so g n o o t r up in t m o p th ed e woavlelzur=igihitmveagamrdoeant h up theere wound was crawl back to the French Horn, w the prisoner's shop ,rtweotbelhdnurttehtabio:rought an action in the bdrooikteatghaeinbrifodrgheimof. it.ProThseeenptorirsogneetrsaidantdhmatahneagweodutldo dressed.
