OBSERVATIONS on the APPOINTMENT of the Right Honourable GEORGE CANNING to the FOREIGN DEPARTMENT ; and on its effects on the State of Society in England, and on European Politics : comprehending a Review of the Political State of Europe since the Congres of Vienna in 18 . 15, and offering various important Sugges tions for the Consideration of the approaching Congress at Vienna.—By LEWIS GOLDSMITH. This Pamphlet has just been published, and is deserving of attention. We are glad to see that amongst his other " suggestions," to the Con gress, Mr. GOLDSMITH recommends the erection of an independent Greek Empire. We have al ways thought that the best policy for this coun try was to assist the Greeks in throwing off the Turkish yoke; and we are of course glad at the accession of a public writer possessing so much experience and political knowledge as Mr. GOLDSMITH, to the same good and glorious cause. We subjoin an extract from Mr. GOLDSMITH'S Work, on this part of his subject :=-- " Ifahe Greeks are suffered to remain in their present situ ation, the project will and must be executed sooner or later, - and Russia will have Turkey at last ! If Alexander does not realize the darling project of his Grandmother Catherine, of marching to Constantinople, Constantine assuredly will ; and there is no saying how soon a convenient fit of apoplexy may make way for a successor to the throne of the Czars, who will be willing to indulge his subjects in their longing to possess the fine provinces- of the East of Europe. This being the case, it behoves us well to consider the best means of averting the formidable danger with which the an nexation of Turkey to Russia would inevitably be . attended. If Turkey were able to defend herself, or if the assistance o all Europe were sufficient for her protection against Russia, 1 should say,—Do not disturb that barrier against Russia which already exists. But, with so large a proportion of her sub jects (the Greeks) inveterately disaffected to her—now in insur rection,—and always ready to rise in insurrection,—with the Persians, also the puppets of Russia, now in the field against her, —Turkey must fall a prey to Russia ; because the concur rence of a Greek insurrection with a Russian invading army, would irresistibly produce the instantaneous dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, even before Europe could have time to ex tend a helping hand, supposing that under such circumstances a helping hand could be efficacious. The continuance of the Greeks in their present condition of insurrection, therefore, or in a condition of compulsory and un certain subjection to the Porte, gives no promise of stability to the present order of things in the East,—is not an obstacle to the designs of'Russia,—and does not, even supposing the pre sent insurrection to be subdued, add any thing to the strength of Turkey ! On the contrary, the temporary subjection of the Greeks would really be entailing weakness on the Turks, and insuring the ultimate success of the Russians. Turkey may be really strengthened, on the other hand, by withdrawing the Greeks from her sway - and Russia may be most effectually foiled, by depriving her Of the absolute con- Von' over the minds of the Greeks, for which she is now in debted to the peculiarity of their situation. Let us see how this interesting and important problem is to be worked. It is well known that since the Congress of Vienna, there has been something like a - schism amongst the leading European powers. Russia and Prussia pull together ; England and Aus tria have been on terms of close friendship ; while France may be said- to have been without an Ally ;—though her great weight will give preponderance to any scale into which she may think proper to throw herself. It is time that these schisms on one side, and partial alliances on the other, should cease, or at least that they should not be opposed to the accomplishment of any object really conducive to the general good. The formation of a sincere compact amongst all the Powers, would be attended with this good consquence amongst others, that we should be freed from our particular connection with Austria, and acquire more solid and more valuable relations in their place ; for, though I do not say that Austria should be treated disrespectfully, I must declare my conviction, that her alliance, in the event of a rupture, would be of no use to us, but that on the contrary, her power would fall to pieces, as soon as the first gun should be fired in Europe. I humbly suggest that one of the objects of this new and general Alliance of all the leading Powers, should be the erec tion of an Independent Greek Empire, whose integrity should be solemnly guaranteed by the whole of the Allies ; and that the Greeks should be assisted in the most efficacious manner, in the event of the Turks opposing the execution of the project. Having established the Grees, the next step should be to guarantee that the remaining provinces of Turkey, whether in Europe or in Asia, should be secured to the Porte ; and the new Greek state should be required, as a condition of its inde pendence, to be a party to this treaty. , If any one of the contracting parties should violate this treaty, all the others should be bound to furnish an adequate contingent of troops for securing the stability of the settlement effected by it. There is no Power in Europe to whom the accomplishment of this object would not be beneficial, except Russia. But, though the real wishes of Russia are well known, it is impossible that even she can set her face against the proposi tion, without openly acknowledging her ambitious views. It is impossible that she can oppose the independence of the Greeks, whose cause she has always professed to favour. It is impossible that she can oppose a-treaty for guaranteeing the remaining territory of the Porte, having always, during the reign of the present Emperor, declared that she does not wish for conquests. If she refused to enter into the arrangement which I have suggested, what would it be but an acknowledgment that -her . professions of tenderness for the Greeks are nothing more tha.l• the tenderness of the wolf to the kid, and that her declarations of moderation as respects Turkey, are only uttered for the purpose of more effectually securing its ultimate conquest and annexation to her vast territorities ? Russia, therefore, cannot oppose the erection of Greece into an independent State ; —Europe desires it, and would find it conducive to the preservation of the balance of power ; the cause of humanity and religion imperatively demands it ; and the interests and the glory of England would go hand in hand in Carrying the design into effect. The independence of Greece appears to me to be the only practicable mode of forming a real barrier against Russia ; be cause Greece would be not only bound by treaty, but it would become her interest, in common with the rest of Europe, to maintain the Porte against Russia. . As to the advantages to be derived to commerce and the arts by the regeneration of Greece, they are so well understood and so obvious, that I shall not enlarge upon them. With Eng land she would of course be willing to enter into the closest re. lotions ; and we should always possess, in our power of destroy ing her marine, the command of the strongest motives for keep ing her steady to her friendship.—That fine country, now aban doned to the dominion of barbarism and ignorance, would soon be capable of assuming a distinguished rank amongst civilized nations ; and would be resorted to by the enterprising and the educated inhabitants of every portion of Europe. The British Minister at Verona should demand the emanci. pation of Greece, by the common consent of the Powers, and under the stipulations which I have suggested. There can be little doubt but that the proposition would be acceded to.—lf not, he should firmly state that England was not to be fettered in her policy ; and that she would assist the Greeks herself,—in which France, no doubt, would join her. It has been objected to this, - that the encouragement of the Greeks is the encouragement of the revolutionary principle. But this is an objection so unfounded and futile as scarcely to deserve notice. The Greeks have never transferred their alle giance to their Ottoman tyrants. The Turks are merely in military occupation of their country ; and all the principles of legitimacy are in favour of their expulsion from a soil, the pos session of which they have usurped by the sword. If, however, in spite of every probability to the contrary, Russia, and consequently Prussia, should oppose the emanci pation of Greece, England and France would be able to effect it. Austria would most likely coalesce with them ; but Austria is not to be relied KO CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. On the Royal Exchange the Foreign Ex changes are declining, and money thiS afternoon remained over on most places. On Paris, at three months, the rate was 25 65, a 25 57k, and for short paper '2 5 30, a . 25 on Amsterdam 12f. 2, a 12f., on Ilamburgh 37-5 a 374, and on St. Peters burgh 95 a 9:1. This depression is supposed to be occasioned by the advanced season, when bills become scarce, and bullion cannot be transmitted with such facility for the payment of the Foreign Loans. In the English Funds not much business has been done this day, and there is a slight depression in.their value, The best informed Gentlemen, however, confidently expect an advance, and act largely on this opinion. Consols for November opened at 823 and closed heavily at 823 The Spanish Bonds are also less inquired after this day, and the New are lower. The Expose of the Finance Minister has had this effect, but the triumph of fiber opinion in the Penin sula will naturally give confidence in the stability of the govern ment; and should a wise, ec,m.PottlicatlYitem be pursued :7 the resources cannot fail to equal the wants of the State. An express received this morning confirms the news of the determination of the Holy Alliance not to interferewith the internal polity of Spain or Portugal, and consequently the rebellious priests and bigots in the former nation will soon be put down.

CANTERBURY, OcT.lB.—Abont five o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last the inhabitants in the immedi-, ate vicinity of the Old Palace, as it is commonly called or more properly of St. Augustine's Monastery, adjoining to this city, were alarmed by a tremendous crash, in a degree assimilating it self to that of the shock of an earthquake, which, upon the dawn of day, was found to have been caused by the falling of the south ern and western sides of that beautiful remnant of gothic archi tecture, known as Ethelbert's Tower, which, from the devouring hand of dine, aided by the elements, had been precipitated into the adjacent grounds, principally on the western side, so low down to its base, as to what may be presumed to have been, from the corbels, the floor or roof over the great gothic arches, that are apparent both externally and internally on either side of the tower, about thirty feet from the ground; and leaving the eastern side (the whole north side hay ing long since been lost), still standing to its summit, " like an eagle's nest in the clouds," and' to which, in deed the southern angle of the tower had for a long period merely abutted. This remnant is now so awful in its aspect; that fears are ,entertained that it will speedily follow the fate of its late adjunct, and endeavours are in consequence using to pull it down, but as its base is yet firm, and as it has sustained but little injury, notwithstanding the concussion occasioned by the fall of its corresponding angles, it is to be hoped it will resist every effort, and still re main a monument of its pristine grandure. The site of Ethel bert's Tower is immediately adjacent to the grounds of the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, to that part of the old Abbey now used as a Fives Court, and to a garden occupied by Mrs. Hill, into which latter the largest portion of the ruins has fallen, consisting of several hundred cart loads of flints and mortar, and many fragments of Caen stone, used for the ashlar and the columns and capitals of the pillars which adorned the external part of the building :—to whom they may appertain, or what compensation is to be made for the injury sustained by the falling of the rubbish, are questions yet to be determined. It is gratifying however to observe that; although the appear ance of the tower to near observers had for some months past indicated its fate, yet the downfall, took place, providentially, at a moment when no one was near it— while two persons had been employed during the two preceding days in removing a quantity of manure and rubbish, which had been collected in the grounds of the adjacent Hospital. Thus has "passed away," leaving but -" a wreck behind," the most magnificent part of the structure, which 44 notwith standing (according to Masted) soon after the suppression of this Monastery, many of the buildings of it had been demolished, there was sufficient 1 ft to accommodate King Henry VIII. as a palace for his own use," as also Queen Elizabeth, in one of her royal progresses in 1575, and King Charles I. on the consummation of his marriage, with Hen rietta of France, in 1625, and King 'Charles 11. on his pas sage through Canterbury from Kingsgate, At his restoration. Somner, the more ancient historian of Canterbury, supposes Ethelbert's Tower to have been built about the year 1047, and quoting the words of Speed in the close of his discourses touch. ing this Abbey, thus speaks of it:— '° Only Ethelbert's Tower, said' he, " in memory and ho. nour of the man, as yet hath escaped the verdict and sentence of destruction, whose beauty, though much defaced and over run, will witness, to succeeding ages, the magnificence of the whole, when all stood complete in their glory together."— , (Kentish Gavtte. ) By the death of Mrs. GARRICK, the library of the British Museum will be further enriched by the addition of her husband's valuable col lection of old English plays, besides which, the celebrated statue of SIIAKSPEAKE, by ItovaiwAc (of which the one over the fire-place in the ro tunda of Drury-Lane Theate is a cast) will grace the hall of that national Establishment. The Chair, too, made from Shakspeare's mulberry tree, will also, it is supposed, be there deposited. It is richly carved, and would, if it was put up to auction, fetch an enor mous price ; as would doubtless many other articles of vertu, as having once bolonged to the " best living commentator" on• the works of the Bard of Avon. Among these must not be for gotten four originals by HocAnnt, of the Elec tion. The fate of these species of saleable property, which were bequeathed to Mrs. GAR RICK during her life, will shortly be decided by the hammer. The children of Mrs. GARRICK, of the Haymarket Theatre, will also, it is said, come iH for considerable legacies, in consequence of the decease, COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FRIDAY, OCT. M. FAGG V. DAY. This was an action to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, for negligence in his professional duties. Mr. ScantE - ri• stated the case.-11e said the defendant,• who was an attorney, was employed by the plaintiff in a case Fagg v. Sherwin and another, the executors of Jackson, de ceased, the circumstances of which are these : — The p laintiff purchased a freehold property in St. James's, Clerkenwell, on the title of which he consulted the defendant. After the purchase he found it necessary to bring an action against the lessee in possession (Mr. Jackson, deceased). The case was brought to trial by the defendant. On the trial, he (Mr. Scarlett) was Counsel for the defendant, and seeing the hope lessness of his case, was willing to offer any terms to Mr. M'arryatt, who was Counsel for the plaintiff in that action. —The plaintiff would listen to no terms, and the trial con sequently proceeded till they came to prove the will of a person named Walton, under which the plaintiff claimed his title. It then appeared there were two wills made by Wal ton ; one in 1776, and the other in 1784. The former was the will which established the title of the plaintiff in his purchase, and yet the latter was the one produced on the Which had no reference at all to the property in ques tion; in consequence of which the plaintiff was nonsuited, —thereby incurring all the expencos of that suit, which. was entirely the result of the defendant's negligence, who should have known and taken proper means to produce the documents upon which his case rested. The expences (continued the Learned Counsel) incurred on that trial was not only the in convenience which might be the consequence of the defendant's negligence, as it was' possible his client might not yet be dis possessed f the estate itself, for which he had given a large sum of money, by the heir at law, if the will of 1776, on which his title rested, could not be found. The lowest amount of damages which the plaintiff could claim now, were the costs of that day, and the expences incurred in the former suit, to'ether b with the expence of getting the cause again p laced on the roll for trial. The CHIEF JU STICE here said, that the defendant should have taken care to have the proper will produced on the trial, and therefore recommended an accommodation. .Mr. SCARLETT said he would consent to take the expences incurred on the former trial and the present. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the defendant des cribed the proper will in the subpoena served on the officer of Doctors' Commons, but from some cause or other a different will was sent to his client. The CHIEF JUSTICE said he should have done more—he should have seen that the proper will wax sent to him, and should have produced it on the trial. It was clear the plain tiff's loss was - sustained in consequence of the defendant's ne glect. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then consented to take a ver dict for MM. to cover the expense of the former suit and the present. LIBEL.—PRICE, GENT. V. PRICE, GENT. This was an action brought to recover damages for a libel.— The plaintiff was a solicitor living at Abergaveny, in Wales ; the defendant was also a solicitor, residing at the same place, but was also a surveyor and inspector of assessed taxes. The plaintiff had been assigned attorney for a person of the name of Meyer, who sued in .firma pauperis, in an action for false im prisonment against tile defendant. The plaintiff had occasion to subpoena a clergyman of the name of Powell, at which the defendant took offence, and directed his clerk to write the libel in question, which he signed, and sent to the plaintiff. The libel was put in and read; it insinuated that the plain-, tiff had subpcened witnesses, to enhance costs, and 'that he or, his clerk must speak more than the truth, if he succeeded against the defendant. By the oral.evidence, and indeed by, the admission of the de fendant's Counsel, it appeared that no one had seen the con tents, before Mr. C. Price, the plaintiff, or after the signature of the defendant, although the letter was sent folded up, with out seal or wafer. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE intimated his opinion, that there was not sufficient evidence of publication to support the action ; on an indictment no doubt it would do, but to support . an action on the case, there must be a publication of the libel after it is written. Mr. SCARLETT contended, first, that the defendant having put his name to the paper, was prima facie evidence that he had originally composed it, and then directed his clerk to copy it, after which he had signed it; secondly, that the conveyance of it in an open state was good evidence of publication. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he thought the parties should consent to withdraw a juror. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said his client had certainly written it in a moment of irritation, and he could not defend his conduct.—lt was agreed to withdraw a juror. TILE KING V. TIIOIIOWGOOD. Mr. 110 I.T stated, that this was an indictment which charged the defendant with an assault, committed on the person of the prosecutor, Thomas Feather, who had formerly been the land lord of the Guildhall Coffee-house, but had since failed. The defendant was a Sheriff's officer, a person who had been in the habit of betting at horse races, at pugilistic combats and cock fights. In the month of February last, a prize fight took place a few miles from London, upon the event of which, the prose cutor betted against Thorowgood. The result was favourable to Mr. nether, and he demanded payment of the bet of Tho rowgood, who refused to pay it. It happened that on the 22d of March, while Feather was sitting in a coffee-house, the de fendant entered, and the application was renewed; Thoro.v. good refusing to comply with the demand, Feather called him by, , very opprobrious epithets undoubtedly, upon which blows were returned for words : Mr. Feather received a violent blow on the nose, which produced a copious torrent of blood ; he was also struck upon the forehead, which produced a swelling of so serious a nature, that the prosecutor was prevented from wearing his hat for some days. Mr. Thomas Feather, the prosecutor, was called, who proved the assault in the manner described. He was asked by defendant's Counsel if he had not said that Thorowgood was a pickpocket, a receiver of stolen goods, and a person whom he had traced from the cradle to conviction ?—which he denied. The LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE recommended that the defend ant should submit to a verdict of Guilty, and the Court would hereafter determine the quantum of punishment, if the,prose cutur should think it worth his _while to move for judgment. A verdict of Guilty . was recorded by consent. The prosecutor being called on to pay . the Jury their fees l stated he had been very unfortunate, having become a bank rupt, and professed his inability to settle with the Jury. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE animadverted in strong terms upon the prosecutor's imprudence in having been engaged in gambling speculations, to which, he said, no doubt his mis fortunes might be attributed. COOKE V. HENRY NUGENT. BELL. This was an action to recover 1501. had and received by the defendant under curious circumstances. Mr. SCAIMETT stated the case.—The plaintiff was an en graver, living in St. Martin's-lane, and the defendant appeared, according to his own description, to be a barrister, residing at No. 1, Royal Terrace, Adelphi. The defendant had acquired the reputation of being a genealogist. He had displayed consder. able industry in tracing out pedigrees and heirs to dormant titles. The plaintiff; who was the nephew of a Mr. Cooke, who died in 1792, possessed of large property, considered himself en titled to inherit the same as heir-at-law. He thought he could not apply to a better person than Mr. Bell to make out his title. He accordingly wrote to him at his chambers at the Adelphi, and detailed his claim, which the defendant (Mr. Bell) said, he had no doubt of being able to establish. He thought he could give him a title not only to the estates, but a Peerage. Mr. Cooke, some time after his application, received a letter dated Dec. 21i 11121, in substance as follows : "Sr it—l have reflected on the statement made by your re lating to the estates of your deceased uncle, and as Barristers can not legally bring actions for fees, I have suffered consider ably from my inability to tarry on such actions with effect, and as it will be necessary to make out a pedigree to show your affinity to-your deceased uncle according to the law of the gene alogy of descent, I could not for any sum less than 50/. cdm pile a pedigree, and gave such other advices as I could impart consistently with my professional duties. " H. N. BELL." The Lora) CHIEF .TesTrcE.—l take it for 'granted this Gentleman is not a Barrister. Mr ScauLt TT continued his statement.—His clienthaving received the letter, thought the defendant had been employed examining all the records and charters enrolled since the Con !west.' The plaintiff was also impressed with the high-sound ing words " according to the law of genealogy and descent; and not having so . much money, repaired to his friend, Mr. Woodburn, who accompanied him to the defendant's Cham. hers, where the defendant again repeated his assurance that the plaintiff was the heir of - his uncle's property. Mr. W. then gave him a draft for 501., which,waspaid. On the 4th of December following the plaintiff received a letter from the de fendant to the following effect:— " Sia—l enclose you the pedigree of Sir Anthony Cooke, and the demise under which the family estate came to your uncle's fainily f ind as far down as they are upon record. I have devoted the whole of my time since the 21st of October' to your business, and as my time is valuable,you are my debtor. There are Counsel's fees to be paid, and as want more money to carry on the war with vigour you must procure another 1001." The defendant at the same time furnished an account of the way in which some of the money had been expended, and in the account were the following items : " Attendance on pita friends in the City and various other places, at least thirty times. " Attendance at Doctors' Commons to read various and making extracts from the same, and on Sir G. Nayler, at the College of Arms. " Conversing with him relative to your claim, and procuring and emblazoning coats of arms, &c.' Mr. Cooke consulted with his friend, Mr. Woodburn, who gave him another draft for 1001., which was also paid over to the defendant, who wrote a letter to Mr. W. to acknowledge the receipt of the money. He stated at the same time that he should do all in his power to enable Mr. Cooke to repay him. He had no doubt the whole freehold estates - of -the deceased Mr. Cooke would be recovered .by the plaintiff: A few days after the plaintiff and his friend, Mr. W. called again on the defendant to ascertain what progress he had made, when, to their great astonishment,' a porter of imposing aspect, who stood at the door , told them the defendant was in Ireland, and was not expected back before March. 'On the defendant's re turn the plaintiff and .Mr. W: again waited on him, and asked what progrFss he had made, to which the defendant replied ; I have examined many records, and the prosecution of . this claim will cost me more money than I thought. The issue is doubt ful, and I think it better to go no further. The plaintiff said, then give me back my money. This the defendant refused to do, and in a few days after he furnished the plaintiff with an account. Mr. Scarlett said, he had heard of curious items in an apothecaries bill, but the items in the defendant's account beat all the doctors and apothecaries' charges he had ever seen. One was—Attending Sir G. Nayler, this day at the College of Arms, where he shewed me the pedigree of Sir A. Cooke, but not finding any affinity between him and your uncle, I went to Doctors' Commons and examined the original will of your uncle, ordered an exact copy, took a fac-simile of his hand , writing, waited on Mr. M'Cloud, read the Gentleman's Maga zine, and being much fatigued with this day's labour, I took a coach home-.-31. 3s. Attending Mr. Cook, when he stated to me that a Mr. John son had a brother in the War-Office, who drew your uncle's will, and who intimated that he would, for a low faun, state the contents. Went to the War. Office, could not see Johnson ; then went to Holborn, and advised Mr. Woodburn to be cau tious how he parted with his money to Johnson, 21. 2s. • The Learned Counsel said he hall read enough to shew the Jury the nature of this transaction, and, should conclude by making this observation : the plaintiff would have been much better off had he given the defendant two guineas for this ad vice !—Be cautious how you advance your fnoney tome, • Mr. Samuel Woodburn examined by Mr. S CA RLETT, - proved the statement. I The CHIEF JUSTICE.—What object had you in giving this money to the defendant ?—A. The recovery of Mr. Cooke's estates. Q. Did the defendant promise to (To any thing more ? A. :No. Mr. SCAELETT.—In the course of your interviews with the defendant, was any thing said about a Peerage ?—A. Yes ; he said, there being a Peerage in the family, he should not wonder if the plaintiff was entitled to it. Mr. SCARLETT then said, as no Gentleman at the Bar ap peared for the defence, and as the tutus lay on the defendant to shew how the money was expended,, he considered himself en titled to a verdict for the whole sum. CHIEF JUSTICE.—Did you see the defendant on his return from Ireland ?—.A. Yea, in company with Mr. M'Cloud, who keeps a Register of Bankruptiecs, and advertises for heirs, are„ in Lombard-street. .; The CHIEF JUSTICE..—It seems to me a professional man would, upon hearing the plaintiff's case say, that the time which had elapsed presented so . may difficulties, that it was useless to expend money, For my own part, I have no doubt respecting the transaction, and if the Jury think the defendant meant to cajole the plaintiff, and that he took no steps in the business, their verdict must be for the whole sum. 'Mr. SCARLETT said, to save his client from the chance of having an action brought against him by the defendant for any services which be might have performed„ he sould consent to take a verdict for 1001. • The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plainta-- Damages 1004 Costs 40s. OREEN . FIELD V. BREEDS AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover of the defendant, a carrier, belonging to the firm of Horn and Co., of the Golden Cross, Charing-cross 501., the value of a portmanteau committed to their care, and lost on its passage down to Hastings by one o f tlreir coaches. It appeared that %Ir. Greenfield, intending to pass two other months at Hastings, with his family, packed up a quantity of clothes among other things, and sent the trunk by his servant over night to the Golden Cross Inn, with his name on it, as well as on other packages. Next morning, on taking his nut, this trunk was at first lashed to the roof of the coach, but the coachman thinking it insecure, had it removed into the boot. On the coach's arrival at Hastings, the trunk was disco vered to be lost. Mr. Gu RNEY said this was the plaintiff's case, and he sought to recover the value of the portmanteau's contents—namely, 501. %Ir. ScArti.E,TT relied, on behalf of the. defendant, on one of the printed tickets, usually delivered with parcels from the coach offices, and in which they decline responsibility fir the loss of any parcel above the value of 51., unless specifically de • sq,mated as of superior value, and paid for accordingly. Ilrooksbank proved the packing of the goods, and the, delivery of the trunk. He was of opinion that the clothes were worth 501. Soon after the loss was discovered, he waited on Mr. Greenfield's behalf on the defendant ; and he promised to make every exertion to find the property. The LORD CHIEF 'JUSTICE was clearly of opinion, that here the carrier was liable, especially by reason of his Orsonal appearance in the matter. As to the receipt which had been put in,, containing the sort of notice it did, the very fact of his appearing in Court put him out of t h e benefit of all p rovisions of the kind. He had voluntarily surrendered the law of that contract, if it was law, and submitted to the award of the law of the land, which would decidedly hold him responsible. With regard to the value of the goods, that must be a questioq , for the Jury, who would find a verdict for the plaintiff subject to such consideration. . Verdict for the plaintiff-251., and 40s. costs. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. You THFUL DlVRA,VlTY—Yesterday James Thatcher, aged 16, and Chas. Moore, aged only 14, the latter of whom was tried at the last Old Bailey Sesssions, convicted, and sentenced to be imprisoned one month and well whipped, were indicted for stealing from the shop of Mr. Thos.

The prisoners were seen to take the work from the window and followed, when the pro.' perty was found on the elder prisoner. They were both well known to the Police Officers, and the Jury found them Guilty.
