COMIC MAGAZINE. The wood-cuts—sixteen in number—of this amusing little olio are its chief recommendation. They are after the fashion of Hood's Comic Annual, and are not unworthy the humour cf even this prince of punsters. The " Beauties of Nature" is capital. A miserable-looking emi grant, in search of a picturesque and commo dious settlement in some far-distant land, suddenly finds himself, in the course of one of his rambles, in close company with a crocodile, a boa-constrictor, a lion, and a rhinoceros. The lion is peeping at him open-mouthed from behind a rock, the crocodile open-mouthed from behind some bull-rushes. The rhinoceros, however, bids fair to have the first mouthful, provided, at least, that he can persuade the erected boa to forego his claims. The poor emigrant looks far from satisfied with his condition, which, all things considered, is scarcely to be wondered at. " Drawing it mild" depicts an artist painting the signpost of a raging lion." The animal is clearly of the blandest and most benevolent turn of mind, and wants nothing but wings, to become thefirc simile of a cherub on a country tomb stone. We have seen Colonel Sibthorp look much more ferocious during a hot debate on the Reform Bill. « A heavy Swell" is as good a Pun as it is an engraving. A waterman, whose forlorn expression of countenance might draw tears from the eyes of a Utilitarian, is rowing a fat dandy —who, by the by, bears an extraor dinary resemblance to George the Fourth— across the Thames. It is clearly a ferocious day in July, and the poor waterman anticipates either becoming as crisp as a baked gingerbread-nut or dissolving away in a rivulet of hot water. His only chance, therefore, is in lnirking his fat neighbour, which, if he knows his own interest, he will do without delay. The remaining wood cuts are nearly, if not quite, as good as the two we have honourably mentioned ; but the accom panying prose and verse are but so-so. PRAZER' S MAGAZINE, A clever number, but not without its draw backs. The first paper, which professes to be a review of Croker's Edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson, is a long, dreamy, metaphysical disqui sition, of which we can make neither head nor tail. The very first page has fairly floored our c omprehension. Surely the gentleman who concocted- this mystical treatise must have supped too heartily off fried tripe, and put forth his re marks under the inspiration of a sort of waking night -mare ! What, in the name of common sense is the meaning of all this farrago of words? "'!'he so copious terrestrial dross that welters chaotically as the outer sphere of Bos well's character, does but render for us more remarkable, more touching, the celestial spark of goodness, of light and reverence for wisdom, which dwelt in the interior, and could struggle through such incumbrances (what incumbrances ?) and in some degree illuminate and beautify them." This, we suppose is intended to be fine writing ; but Mr. Burchell, in the " Vicar of Wakefield," has happily characterised such eloquence by the term " Fudge." The " Great Plague in the Four teenth Century" contains some curious particu lars, which, in these days of choleraphobia, cannot fail to be devoured with avidity. " Miss Fanny Kemble and Mr. Sheridan Knowles" is a dis criminating, sagacious analysis of the dramatic capabilities of those two eminent writers. "On Parties" displays much sound thinking without any affectation of style or sentiment. It is the work of a scholar, a gentleman, and a man of the world. The remaining articles, which we cannot find space to particularize, are of the usual calibre. UNITED SERTICE JOURNAL. This Magazine has reached us at so late an hour, that we have merely time to say, that, judging from its table of contents, it bids fair to be an interesting number. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER, OR ORNAMENTAL FLOWER GARDEN AND sfiRUREF.RY, CONTINUED BY PROFESSOR LINDLEY. No. 3, Vol. 5, NEW SERIF 4. Perhaps the most remarkable production that the art of hybridising has effected among herba ceous plants is to be found in the present month's number of this elegant and ably-conducted work. It is Russell's potentilla, and is between p. afro sanguinen and p. napalensis. It is as nearly as possible intermediate between, those two most truly distinct species. Its flowers rival those of the former in size and depth of colour, while their richness is strikingly increased by an infu sion of the purple carmine ground of the petals of the latter; the foliage partakes almost equally of either parent : "'The monster offspring heirs the father's pride, Mark'd in the damask beauties of the bride." It is a perfectly hardy perennial plant, increased with facility by the division of its crown ; and flowering most part of the summer. Tawny Coburgia (so named in compliment to his Ma jesty Leopold 1., King of the Belgians) is a very pretty hardy bulbous plant from South America. The bulbs may be kept dry in the winter, and planted out in the spring, as they will not endure the very severe weather of our winters without protection. Owing to an abundance of offsets they rarely flowe r with us, but perhaps a strong and richly manured loam would remedy this. Eranthemnin* fa'cundum (ever-blowing eran themum) communicated by the Right Hon. R. Gordon. It is readily increased by cuttings, and flowers almost all the year round. What is most remarkable in it is its unusual disposition to forth flower-buds instead of leaf-buds. If any thing occur to check its growth, such as a dry atmosphere, or repotting, or exposure to sudden cold, it is directly thrown so abundantly into a blossoming state, that young plants will often commit a sort of vegetable suicide, killing them selves by their excessive fecundity. If well ma naged, encouraged to form leaf-buds, and main . Literally Love.ttower, • halter 11IVI tea- of the species deserve the title SPORTING MAGAZINE. This periodical, which appeals to the sympa thies of a large class of readers, viz. to all those who have nothing else to do but kill time on the back of a hunter, or with a fishing-rod in their hands, is well got up, both as respects matter and manner. The engravings are exceedingiy well executed, and the directions for spitting a live minnow on a fish-hook, for the purposes of more securely ensnaring a pike or a salmon, are, we doubt not, the results of profound wisdom and experience. " By-gone Scenes, or Days of Hog-hunting in India," are penned in a very easy, lively, graphic manner. LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. This handsome and fashionable Magazine has, we perceive, passed into new hands. Mr. Bull, of Holles-street, is the proprietor, and Mrs. Norton, the Editor. This last is a great point gained for our fair readers. The authoress of that sweet poem, " The Undying One," being la belle herselfboth in mind and person, cannot but make " La Belle AssemblW' worthy of her. It will now, we suppose, become a matter of gallantry, instead of business, to contribute to its pages, and Mrs. Norton may reasonably calculate on enlisting all our most chivalrous young writers in her service. Tales of Love, in prose and verse, Sonnets to the Moon, and impassioned Stanzas on the auburn ringlets of some fair Un known at the Opera, we shall anticipate in abundance, and of the first quality, not writ ten according to order, but from an over powering intensity of sentiment. In a word, we are delighted to find that Mrs. Norton has not thought it beneath her to do her best to encourage the female literature of the country. It is a resolution worthy of a fine mind and a gene rous heart. To build a shrine for oneself in the greatful recollections of the youthful and the in tellectual of the community, is better than being idolized in white kid gloves at Almack's. The embellishments to the present number are of a very superior quality. The very ladies in the fashionable dress of the month, are begin ing to look more intelligent than usual, as if they thought almost as much of their minds as their attire. The literary department is choice and well selected, and the short reviews at the end of the number, display no little critical per spicacity, tempered by true feminine grace and gentleness. REFORM. Exiract of a letter from a gentleman in the country, to a Member of Parliament, dated April 27 : "I am afraid you have still nothing very satisfactory to report about the grand affair. I have been glancing over a series (sent me by a friend at Clifton) of The Sun newspaper, which gives the leading articles of a number of other clever journals ; and I find a perva ding tone of discontent and apprehension. But little of any thing like exultation has been caused among us here, by what has hardly deserved the name of a victory in the Upper House. What is the worth, we are saying, un less we could he better assured that Lord Grey, having got the cause fairly into the field of battle, will there bring a force to carry it victoriously out ? With the House as it is he will be defeated at the very com mencement—schedule A—and there goes off the head of the Bill at a blow. What, will it be enough for him to talk, to make palaver merely, against that execution ? In his concluding speech there were some sadly ill-omened expressions. The sche dules, he said, might be altered, and yet the principle be safe. The principle safe ! What is the principle worth but in the amount of its practical appli cation ? He said, too, that the form the Bill should ulti mately take did not depend on him, but on their Lord ships. Indeed ! It is to be abandoned, then, to the de cision of the very set of men whose unrighteous power and usurpation it is professedly designed to abolish. It will be seen in due time what is really the sort of obliga tion which he deems himself to have contracted to the nation ; but he had need come out soon with a masculine and decisive policy to recover what he has latterly been losing in, I believe, the general feeling of the country. If it be found that he cm sacrifice to that paltry scruple—l do not say the Bill, hut—any material part of it, he will be branded with such opprobrium as no English statesman has suffered for nearly two centuries past. Why have we not a man of Pitt's, or even Castlereagh's, mettle at the head of the concern ? Not affront the Noble House—not touch the dignity of the Peerage, by an addition decisive of the measure ! ! Why, who but the aristocracy itself cares two-pence how many more of them there may be on the benches of that House ? And can Lord Grey dream that the people will have any sympathy with his delicacy about such a matter? But perhaps he is determined to adopt, at the critical moment, the efficacious expedient. If so, one wonder s w h at i s t h e po li cy o f so l ong l ett i ng t h e ene mies of Reform assume so confidently that he will not, and its f r i en d s d ou b t, almost to despondency, whether he will ; and thus l eav i ng the nat i on, month after mont h , ouch!. di , Fouraesnent and al arm , an d th roug h th a t un certainty inflicting a mischievous uncertainty on all man ner of national interests. For this he will never be for given, unless he do soon come omit in splendid demonstra tion. We must wait with as much patience as we can ; but we shall wait charged to the muzzle, with the bit terest execrations ready to be exploded at him if lie should fail. " If this Premier, after having been idolized by a cre dulous people, shall prove slinkard, and let the Bill be re turned to your House docked, mangled, and mutilated, how will your reformers receive it? One wishes one could be sure that in that case they would, in an undimi nished battalion bear them manfully, promptly and indig nantly scout ►he worthless thing, and pledge themselves to the nation, in the strongest form of an uncompromising resolution to insist on the Bill, or a still stronger measure of Reform. Is their spirit up to that mark? I have half wished that the second reading had been lost, pro vided there were truth in the confident assertion in several of the papers, that there would in that case have instantly been a prorogation, and a good stout quantity of new peerage. F.— Times. IRISH PEERS.—A Member of Parliament of considerable influence once applied to Mr. PITT for per mission to enter ene of the royal parks through a parti cular gate, and was told it was impossible. As a substi tute, however, the Minister offered to make him an Irish Peer. TRIAL OF THE CORPORATION.—The report which prevailed of the a b an d onment o f t hi s tr i a l originated in a hoax, played off on an individual i n thi s city, who, being thrown into the c om p any o f a gent l eman who rejoices in the name of M ALLE , an d pract i ses as a solicitor in an adjoining county, and not supposing for a moment that there could, by any possibility, be two soli citors of that name, blessed his stars for the opportunity which an introduction gave him of obtaining a little official i nte lli gen c e . Being rather interested in the matter, he took the liberty of popping the question, and was answered that it was probable the trial would be abandoned. Th e " chiel " did not " prent it," albeit he took " notes" of it, and made it as public, by din t of confiden tial cornumnica: tion, as if he had put it in the Gazette. Among man y others, the Corporation so far credited the hoax as to make inquiries, through their agent in London, at the Crown. office.

London, April 27, 1882. nit 4.14, *Hit. 4' A ' • LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 1, 1832. It appears by the express from Paris, and also by private accounts received to-day, that the Emperor of Russia has not only ratified the Bel gian treaty, but that the ratification has actually arrived in London. The Monitcur contains an official announcement of the ratification in the following manner from the French ambassa dor at the Court of St. Petersburgh " THE DUKE OF TREVISO TO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " PETERSBURGII, APRIL 16. " The Emperor of RUSSIA has ratified the treaty of the 15th of November. The ratifica tion is to be sent off on the 18th to London." This communication was received by tele graphic despatch from Strasburg ; and our own accounts positively state that the ratification has actually been received in town. What modifications or reservations are in sisted on in the Russian acknowledgement, we have not heard ; but there can be no doubt that the wily Autocrat, after so much hesitation, has clogged his recognition with fitting drawbacks and indemnities. The Moniteur announces the appointment of M. DE MONTALIVET to the Depart ment of the Interior, in the place of M. C. PERIER, who is to retain the Presidency of the Council till his recovery. When that period shall arrive, is the main question, for all parties seem agreed that the President's health has sustained such a severe shock as to render it very problematical if he can long survive—far less recover sufficiently to resume his political character and station. On this interesting topic we cannot do, better than quote the following observations of our able Contemporary the Times, which seems to have done ample justice to the merits of this extraor dinary Minister, rendered still more extraordi nary by the singular conjuncture of affairs during his administration : A greater misfortune could not happen to France or to Europe than the demise or re signation of this able Minister at such a crisis. He has now held the reins of government firmly in his hands for thirteen months, and probably is the only man in France who could have so long mastered the factious at home and preserved peace abroad. His system of ad ministration was personified in himself: it did not belong to his cabinet, it did not depend upon his colleagues. It was cha racterized by great vigour in action, and unflinching firmness of resolution. Whether he had to deal with the tumults of the Chamber, or with the tumults of the streets,—with the rebels of Lyons or with the courtiers of the Tuileries,—he evinced the same decision and displayed the same intrepidity. Probably even the defects of the man, in the extraordinary cir cumstances in which he was placed, became the merits of the minister. That haughty demeanour and irascible temper, which made him art ob ject of dislike or of terror in private life, were better adapted than gentler and more ami able qualities for the storms of political con flict in which he was involved. He could terrify an adversary or overpower a rival, when he could win neither. Even the state of his health was not unimportant to his system of action ; and perhaps it might not be going too far, though it may appear a little ridiculous, to say, that France h as b een b etter governe d f or the last thirteen months, because M. Casimir Perier, in addition to the influence of an immense fortune and the powers of a vigorous understanding, had a disease in the liver which rendered him intract able and impatient of contradiezion." Extracts from the French Papers will be found in another column. The following are extracts from German Papett. received this morning. We have not room for comments VIENNA, Aram 19._Gencral Count Chin Martitietz set out again to-day for Berlin, in order to be present at the conclusion of the negotiations respecting the military affairs of Germany. It is therefore supp , sed that he will soon return; on the other band, it is confi dently asserted that envoys from all the Princes of (icr many will meet at Berlin to deliberate on the situation of Germany and its internal relations, in which the regula tion of the Press will probably be a main point. Jt is thought to be highly important to check the licentious language which unauthorised advocates have lately allowed themselves, in order to excite the people against their Co vernment ; and the Court of Berlin, is said to intend to in • troduce to the Diet of the Confederation, a project of law concerning the Press, which it has caused to be drawn up. 'We have no news of importance from Italy ; the diffe rences about the affairs of Rome are nearly arranged. His Holiness, it is said, waits only for the organization of his new Swiss troops, to call on the French Cabinet to eva cuate Ancona, according to its promise. Large quantities of arms are bespoke for Italy, as it ia said, for the use of the Sardinian and Neapolitan troops. The Sardinian Ambassador at this Court will shortly go to Turin. The last accounts from the Hague give little hope that the King will accept the 24 articles. He there by places the Cabinets of the five Powers in a very em barrassing situation; and when the Reform Bill has once passed in England, it is not unlikely that the English Government, which would be greatly strengthened by this event, would resolve on coercive measures, which it is so desirable to avoid. Our funds are stationary. It is again reported that the Emperor of Russia will visit Warsaw in Zeitung, April 25. I 'BERLIN, APRIL 13.---Dr. J. G. Howe, whose mast has been spoken of by the public prints, has been sent under an escort to France, after some days' detention. The pap e rs found upon him, particularly a letter from General Lafayette, and a recommendation of General Bern, posi tively proved that Dr. Howe had not come to Prussia, as he pretended, to make himself acquainted with the schools for the blind, but that he was commissioned to persuade the Polish refugees in our provinces not to return to Poland (which would be very advantageous for the countries in which they are) and to induce them, by raeans of the large sums with which he was provided, to go to France, contrary to the existing regulations. The depositions of Dr. Howe, which have been taken down, are said to have fur nished interesting information respecting various intrigues. The Government has not thought fit to apply to Dr. Howe the penalty which he bad incurred for having in vited a violation of its orders ; and notwithstanding the resistance which he made at the time of his arrest, the Government has contented itself, after having admonished and forbid bins to return to the Prussian dominions, with having him conducted to the frontiers of France. This is the same Dr. Howe that was President of the Ameri can Polish Committee at Paris, and who delivered a revo lutionary speech on the 29th November last year, being the anniversary of the revolution at Warsaw.—Frankfort Papers, April 24. A Tory Journal, we perceive, lays great stress on the circumstance of their MAJESTIES in tending " to honour his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON with their company at a Ball at Apsley House, on the 28th, being the day appointed for the celebration of his MA JESTY'S Birth-day." Our contemporary seems inclined to think that it is exclusively a matter of political feeling—as if the king of ENGLAND, the father of his people, were not:in that capacity at perfect liberty to honour whomsoever he pleases with his company, without the imputa tion of being biassed by political predilections ! It is the private gentleman, not the public states man that his MAJESTY honours with a visit at Apsley House. The compliment is not paid to the infatuated Anti-Reformer, but to the conqueror of NAPOLEON, the victor of a hun dred battles, whose past services to his country can never be forgotten, and least of all by so patriotic a Monarch as ourWILLIAM the Fourth. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DA V. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The following is posted at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house this tntirning:— " CHILE 'LOAN, " Neither instructions nor information, to the effect of the advertisement inserted in the Times paper of this day, have been received by us. " HULLETT, BROTHERS, and CO. " New Broad-street, May 1." THE FUNDS. This day being the Ist of Any, it is kept as a holyday at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and Foreign Market ; in consequence of which the brokers and jobbers assembled at the housekeeper's-room, in New-court, to transact business, where about 1,7001 Consols have been done at 85i for to-morrow, and 1,0001. for the Account, at the same price. In Foreign Securities nothing doing as yet. Now we are officially informed, that the Russian ratification was signed on the 16th, at St. Petersburgh, to the Dutch treaty, and that it is on its road to this country. We may hourly expect the arrival of it by the Dutch steamer, which is expected in the course of to-morrow ; or perhaps the courier might first proceed to Paris to announce it to the Russian ambassador in that capit 41. This important event has not yet had any effect on the Funds, as the well informed speculators have anticipated the Emperor of Ros si t's signature for some time past. The anxiety now felt by the public is to learn in what manner the King of Holland will act, and the different discus sions in the modifications, will soon come on the tapir. This no doubt will list for some time before they are adjusted to the satisfaction of both parties ; at toe same time it is curious to observe that in the face of a gener pace armies are marching and counter-marching on the Continent, ships of the line getting ready for sea, and secret expeditions preparing, as if the powers were appre hensive that some politic II expedition was going to take place. What all these demonstrations can mean is yet a mystery. By the French mail this morning we perceive that a report prevailed on the Paris 'Change, that an insurrection had broken out at \Vilna, and the insurgents got the upper hand and took possession of the town with sixty pieces of cannon, but the report still requires a confirmation. HALF-PAST ONE. Since we wrote our foregoing article, we understand that the Russian ratification has arrived in town, and that the courier, who was the bearer of it, had express orders to deliver it into the hands of Count Orloff. The private information from Paris, which we have received this morning by the express, is very unfavourable with regard to Perier's health. Great fear is entertained for his life ; at all events, he is declared not likely to he able to transact any duties of his office for three months to come. Should he not recover, his brother will be ap. pointed one of the Ministers, and the same system as pre viously will be pursued in the Cabinet. A number of brokers and jobbers are assembled on the Royal Exchange, but there is no business doing. Consols are 85i to for the account. Dutch Stock 441. THREE 0 CLUCK. Consols for Account 854. On Friday afternoon week, a boat left Port Glasgow, having on board, on a pleasure excursion, JAMES APEWEN, WILLIAM GIBBS, JAMES GLASGOW, and ROBERT FERGUSON. They had not proceeded far when the boat upset, and, melancholy to relate, all on hoard perished. We learn that the unfortunate men had been drinking rather freely before they left the quay. The boat drifted to the Cardross on Hillarduaore shore, and 111.EwEs was found hanging by the stern.— Glasgow Courier. SELECT VESTRY, ST.

EMIGRATION.—A little reluctance is dis played on the part of those of the town of Faringdon, who have received a polite invitation to " seek another and a better world." But the surrounding villages are pouring in their surplus population into the various ports of em barkation. Bampton, six miles from thence, has sent off seventy able-bodied men, women, and children. Hinton, eight miles from thence, is collecting from fifty to sixty, to follow next week. Stanford, almost a similar number.

The Lam , CIIA:,CELLOR said, he observed to his ur prise, that several motion• had been put into the pallet to-day, although yesterday he had most distinctly desirvd that that might not be so, as other matters would Le sure to take the whole of the day. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL did not know how it vi,s that the motions had found their way into the paper, is he certainly had heard his Lordship request that no Jim tions should be put into it. The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped it would not be in:- puted to the Court that the parties had thus been put: to such unnecessary expense, as he had done all he co to prevent it, and he trusted that in future, what he said in this respect would be more attended to by the officers in this department. EX PARTE THE LANCASTER. CANAL COMPANY, IN Tll E MATTER OF DILWORTH. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on rising to address the Court in this matter, stated that it came before his Lord ship in the shape of a rehearing from a decision come to by Lord Lyndhurst, which bad overruled the Vice• Cha ncellor's judgment. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN objected to the Court's rehear ing this matter. It was by no means the general practice to rehear bankruptcies, although it certainly was in the discretion of the Court. Taking it as a point of discretion, if ever there was a matter that ought not to be reheard, that was the matter. In the first place, there had been a decision of the Commissioners in favour of the parties for whom be (Sir Ed ward) appeared, and the opinion of Sir Anthony Hart, when Vice-Chancellor ; the present Vice- Chancellor had decided against them. It was argued be fore Lord Lyndhurst upon an appeal. After the argu ments, and before judgment was pronounced, the other side presented a petition of re-argument. His Lordship re fused to entertain that petition—dismissed it with costs, and reversed his Honour's judgmen►. The SOLICITOR GENERAL begged to remind the Court and his Learned Friends, that in bankruptcy there was no appeal to the House of Lords. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN was quite aware of that, which he thought told rather in his favour than otherwise. The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired why? Sir EDWARD SUDDEN •aid, because . his clients, who were now in possession of Lord Lyndhurst's judgment, would be deprived of every thing if that judgment were now to he reversed. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Perhaps yon would then present a petition to me for a re-hearing. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN—Aye, but should we get the prayer of it granted? The LORD CHANCELLOR—Why, I don't know ;—if I thought on that occasion I had not properly decided, or that any thing had been omitted which ought to have been attended to, I should grant the re-hearing most gladly. Sir E. SUGDES-1 have never known a Judge act on that yet. The LORD CIIANCELLOR—Oh, yes. Sir E. SUGDEN—No indeed, I have not. 1 have beard a great many Judges make such a statement as that, hut I never knew one in any instance act upon it. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Oh, yes, yes; you will see in the books that it has been frequently acted on. Sir E. St:GDEN-1 have never seen it. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Go o❑ Mr. Solicitor-Gene nil, I shall hear this petition. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded to open his case at great length. ROLL'S COURT-(THIS DAY.) IVILLIMOTT V. OGILVY. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Honour, the NlAstea of the Rou,s, the whole morning. The case appears likely to take up several days ; we there fore refrain from entering into the details until his Honour gives judgment. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) INJU'SCTIONTItt.)II*SON I'. HAYTON. Mr. SPENCE applied in this case at the sitting of the Court for an injunction to restrain the defendant f'rom car rying away any of the partnership property, from using the partnership name, or from intermeddling with the part nership debts. It appeared from the affidavit of the plain tiff that he entered into partnership with the defendant, as bar iron and wire manufacturers, in January, 1827. The partnership was to continue for an indefinite period, no articles being drawn up between the parties. Shortly after the formation of the partnership the plaintiff and de fendant entered into an agreement for the lease of iron and wire mills, called Giversylt Woiks, situated in the county of Denbigh ; part of the purchase money was paid by the plaintiff, and part out of the funds of the partner ship. The defendant was to be the acting partner, the plaintiff having to attend to another business, which he carried on at Wigan, in Lancashire. During the con tinuance of the partnership (which was now dissolved) the defendant alone carried on the business, and the plaintiff bad advanced several large sums of money for the purposes of the partnership, amounting to 8,000/. and upwards, and had also supplied large quantities of iron and coal from his own works. At the present moment upwards of 6,0001. was due from the partnership to him. The defendant had never advanced a single shilling, but during the p irtnership had received several large sums of money, which he had applied to his own use. lie had also (limn checks on the bankers of the partnership for the payment of his private debts, and had purchased on his own account a public-house and shop, which had been carried on for his own benefit, with the money of the partnership, although he had stated Li utter inability to pay the large debt due from the partner_ ship to the plaintiff. The business bad been carrie d on by him in a most improvident manner, larg debts and liabilities having been incurred, which th e plaintiff in his affidavit stated he was ignorant of till /sl,i e vember last; and many circumstances which were de' tailed in that affi lavit had not come to It's knowledge til the 24th of April. The VICE CitAtacnr.Loa, observed, that the difficulty he felt was the delay which had taken place in the filing of the bill. It appeared clear the plaintiff knew the main facts on which he now rested for obtaining the injunction, in November last ; he ought, therefore, to have filed his bill long before the present period. Mr. SPENCE observed, that he was not aware of the fact of the defendant's having taken away large quantities of bar iron for his own use till the 24th of April. The VICE-CHANCELLOR did not feel himself justified in granting the injunction to the extent prayed, without notice being given to the other side. He would, however, grant the injunction, as far as it extended to the restrain• ing of the defendant from intermeddling with the partner ship debts. Mr. SPENCE expressed his willingness to take the in junction in that form, and notice was ordered to he given to the defendant of the intention of the plaintiff to move for a more extended injunction. The COURT then proceeded with pleas and demurrers, none of which were of t le slightest interest to the public. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LIBEL. - THE DUEE OF CUMBERLAND v. ?Haulm AS soon as their Lordships had taken their seats, Sir C. WETHERELL said he attended to make a rule ab solute in the case of the King v. Phillips, for a lit,el on the Duke of Cumberland. He did not know whether it was intended to show cause against it. Mr. WAKEFIELD, jun. said that he was instructed to show cause. Lord TINTERDEN s iid the Court could not take the case at present. Mr. POLLOCK, (who was with Sir C. Wetherell,) asked if their Lordships would take it at the close of the day ? Lord TENTERDEN—I9 Dot tomorrow motion day? Mr. POLLOCK—No, my Lord, it is new trial day ; there were no motions made until late yesterday. Lord TENTERDEN then said, that, under those circum stances, it was probable the Court would take it about tour o'clock this day. Sir C. WETHERELL said he would not have mentioned the case, but an idea existed that to-day would nut be inconvenient. It was at length agreed that the case should come on about three or four o'clock to-day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE SATIRIST NEWSPAPER. -DIGBY V. THOMPSON.. In this case proceedings had been commenced against the defendant, who is the registered proprietor of the Saar st, for an alleged libel, and various ineffectual attempts having been made to serve him with the process of the Court, application was made, and a rule obtained, to show cause why a service of the process at the entered office of pub lication, and at the residence of the defendant, should not be deemed a good service. Mr. For.tirr showed cause against this rule. nee was nothing, he observed, shown in the affidavits bes nd the fact that a difficulty was found to get hold of the de fend,int to serve the notice on him, and this was insufficient to justify the present appliratiun, The defendant wqq still tarrying oil buliaeas iu the .sty uS Lessios, sal if they had been unsuccessful in Liherto finding bits, they must pursue their efforts till they were more fortunate. The Learned Counsel cited a variety of cases to show that tho C .urt had never dispensed with p-rsonal service on any grounds co light as those now urged. Mr. WHITEMAN, per contra, urged, that the very up• pearance of his Learned Friend, to show cause, was virtual proof that the process had reached the defendant, who, it was evident, was endeavouring all he could to ob. struct the legal proceedings commenced against Lim. Mr. Justice TAUNTON said he was afv aid he must dis charge the rule, for if a contrary course were adopted, it would have the effect of throwing open s, door through. which all might pass, and in a short time personal process would cease altogether. It was dear the defendant was endeavouring to evade the service of the process; and is discharging the rule, he should therefore do so without costs. COURT OF EXCHEQUER...-(THIS DAY.) DUNES V. MART. A rule nisi for a new trial was obtained in this case s few days ago, on the application of the defsndan• e in per son, on which occasion we reported the case pretty ful y. The plaintiff is an attorney, and had brought his actin a for the balance of a hill of costs, on which occasion it was allowed to go to trial as an undefended cause, in conse quence of some neglect upon the part of the defendant's attorney, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, damages 871. 2% 6d. This morning Mr. THISSIGER showed cause agaiLsr the rule. The COURT suggested that it was a Lt case for gainE before the Master. To this Mr. Trritssioxa was willing to agree, but Nit - , HART objected, on the ground that no one could kn , where the shoe pinched but those who felt it, and he was anxious that a Jury should decide on the question. Mr. HART was then about to go into the merits of the case but was stopped by the Court, who were of opinions. that he (the defendant) should Lace an opportunity of, going before another Jury.—Rule absolute. ADMIRALTY COURT,-(THIS DAY.) THE ♦3ITHYTEITE. This was a question relative t;;iieinanti for seam wages, under rather peculiar circumstances. Dr. ADDAMS stated, that James Forsyth bad entered a ra board the abo►e ship to proceed to Rio Janeiro and back, as a seaman ; that, about the 26th of September, 1 8 9 7, Forsyth, with other seamen, declared that they refused to act, on the ground that the I read was not fit to eat, being full of maggots ; that Forsyth, on the 26th, left this chant ship and proceeded on board hie Majesty's ship Beagle, and entered the King's service. lie contended. therefore, that the seaman was entitled to his wages. The Ktaro's ADVOCATE, for the master of the vessel, contended that an act of desertion had been committed by Forsyth ; that he had been guilty of insubordination, in refusing to perform his duty, and that the Act o amens clearly laid down the law, that the leaving of a merchant vessel was a desertion, unless the seaman do so expressly for the purpose of entering the King's service. It appeared that there was some mistake in the King's books, as in them, the seaman was declared to have entered on the 19th of September. Dr. ADDAMS said the entry in the King's book show e 4 that the seama❑ bad been placed on them a week earlier th in he entered, in order that be might secure a week's, wages by way of bounty. Sir C. ROBINSON said this was an important case, as it involved two principles the protection of the pia-- perry of the shipowners, and the principle of protecting mariners on their entering into the King's service. After going over the facts of the case the Learned Judge decided that the seaman was not entitled to any protection, as it did not appear that the man had left his service bona fide to enter a K ng's sh'p,, though he did enter within twenty four hours after I e left his vessel.

TATTERSALL'S The alterations are neither numerous nor important ; for the running at Newmarket leaves us as much as ever in the dark re. specting the Derby nags, although Scuffle's winning so easy makes I3eiram's chance as good as ever. If St Giles had not been disqualified, we should have called attention to him—he won in a canter, giving things of his own years 171 b. ; he is the best three-year-old that has shown ; his price, we have heard, 800 sows., but we cannot think that Mr. Ridsdale would sell bins for that sum, many a worse has fetched Isoo—he is a lucky man that has a better ; we say this because he made his own running when he beat the Lioness, and had won all the way.
