WIGRAM.) MARSH V. KINGDOM. This was a suit for the purpose of enforcing the specific performance of a contract to deliver to the plaintiff a lease for 96 years of certain houses in West bourne-terrace. COURT OF QUEENS BEIVCII, Jan. 15. The Court took the special paper to-day. ST. PANCRAS.—SCUDDING V. LORANT. This case occupied the Court the greater part of the day. The point at issue between the parties was, whether a rate, made by the vestry of St. Pancras, for the relief of the poor, on the 12th day of August, 1839, but which was not completed until the subsequent 14th of September, was a legal rate or not within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. The plaintiff, and several other ratepayers, refused to pay the rate, on the ground that it could not be enforced, as some alterations took place in the vestry between these periods, and they were consequently subjected to a dis traint. Believing therate to be invalid,theplantiff brought an action to recover compensation in damages for the injury he had in consequence sustained, but principally with the view of deciding whether the rate was valid or invalid. The jury considered it was valid, and gave a verdict for the parish, thus confirming its legality. A rule calling upon defendants to show cause why a new trial should not be had was subsequently obtained on the ground that the rate was invalid, inasmuch as it was stated to be a rate made on the 12th of August, whereas it was virtually not made until the 14th of September; that it was not signed, in accordance with the Act, by the vestrymen by whom it was made, and was never allowed by the justices. The vestry book alone had been signed, but not until the 14th, the rate being set forth as one made on the 12th of August. Mr. PEACOCK was now heard at great length in sup port of the rule. Mr. WATSON followed on the other side, and con tended that the rate was really made on the 12th of August, although the lists of ratepayers though persons were employed at them from day to day were not completed until the 14th of September, when it was signed. The Act did not mean that at one single meeting all the parties were to come and sign the books and make them perfect at that one meeting. Though some alterations did take place between the periods mentioned, there was a sufficient number re maining of the old vestrymen to make the rate. If the proceeding was confined to one day, the making of a rate at all would often become abortive, because the task could not be performed in a day. Mr. PEACOCK replied. The COURT intimated that it would consider the matter. _ _ The Court will resume the special psper on Tuesday next. BAIL COURT, Jan. 15. SALES OF SHARES AND SCRIP.—LAMOND V. DEVAL. This was an action to recover the sum of 791., the price of certain scrip sold to the defendant. Mr. Ogle appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Bram• well appeared for the defendant. Mr. OGLE stated that the plaintiffs, Messrs. Lamond, were very large share-brokers in the city of London, and they occasionally held large sales of shares In the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street. These shares were not only belonging to different persons wishing to sell them, but some of them belonged to Messrs. Lamond. On the 7th of August last a sale was held, and the de fendant made his appearance and bid for several lots. There were ten East Indian shares at twenty shillings, and two lots of others, making in all 79/. Some ques tion afterwards arose as to the sale, and the only ques tion the jury would have to try was whether the de fendant did or did not purchase the shares. Mr. Kitchen, the clerk to the auctian.or, Elated that he remembered the sale on the 7th of August. The de fendant was there and purchased three lots of shares, which came to 791. The money was not paid, nor was there any offer of payment for some time after. By Mr. BRAM WELL—One of the rules of the place is that all shares bid for ate forfeited if payment is not made on the day following. Neither the deposit nor purchase-money was paid. Is aware that Messrs. Lamond afterwards sold these shares, and they came to the sum of between 61/. and 65/. These shares had risen very much in price before the end of the year. The defendant afterwards came to Messrs. Lamond and said that if the shares were delivered to him, he would pay for them at once. The shares had then been sold. When the defendant bid for them witness wrote down his name. The conditions of sale were read out before the auction began. By Mr. OGLE—The defendant came and offered to take the shares on the same day that they rose in the market. Had no communication with the defendant before entering his name as the highest bidder for the shares. After some further evidence of no material weight, Ir. OGLE said that he had closed his case. Mr. BRAMWELL said that no case had been made out. It had been held that the entry by the auctioneer of the name of the highest bidder in his book was a written agreement, and that agreement had not been produced. He also objected that the present case came within the Statute of Frauds, as the shares were not legal shares, and legally transferable. Mr. Justice EBLE here recalled Mr. Kitchen, who stated that none of these shares were in companies au thorised by Act of Parliament. They were, however, well known in the market. Mr. Justice Er.LE said that they did not then Come under the Statute of Frauds. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected that the property was improperly described as " shares" in the declaration, when it was merely certificates of scrip. Besides any ten East Indian shares would have done for the de fendant; there were no specific shares set apart for him, and therefore until the specific property was described by its numbers, or delivered, it was no sale. Mr. Justice BALE asked Mr. Kitchen whether, in sell ing the ten shares in the East Indian Railway Company, any particular ten were alluded to, or whether the deli very of any ten shares in the company would meet the bargain. The witness replied that any ten would have done. Mr. BRAMWELL then objected, that on their own ad mission the plaintiffs had realised 631. 10s. on the subse quent sale of the shares, and yet they brought their action for the whole sum of 79/. If the action for goods sold and delivered could be maintained, the plaintiffs could recover the whole sum ; and if they got their ver dict the defendant bad no means of recovering the sum of 631. 10s., which they had received for the sale of the shares. They were only entitled by right to 151. 10s. Mr. Justice ERLE said, that on all the points but the last he was against Mr. Bramwell. It was clear that there was no accounts stated before action, and therefore the action could not be maintained. Besides, there was an offer to pay the 79/. on the delivery of the shares. He thought, therefore, that the plaintiffs should b e non suited, giving Mr. Ogle leave to move for a verdict for 791., or 151. 10s., as the Court should deem fit. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 15. LAMB V. LAMBERT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the pro prietor of the Sunday Times newspaper, to recover from inserted in defendant the sum of 27/. for advertisements in the Sunday Times, appertaining to the Jamaica Northern, Southern, and Eastern Connecting Railway, of which the defendant was one of the managing committee. The verdict passed for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. Mr. HUMFREY now moved to set the verdict aside, on the ground that there wa s n o ev id ence th at t h e or d er which was given by Mr. Orlando Aguilar, the secretary of the company, was given on behalf of the company. The COURT thought that there was evidence to go to the jury upon the fact, and refused to grant the rule. LEE V. CAMROUX. In this cause, which was tried at Guildhall during the last sittings before the Lord Chief Baron, a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the sum of 3551., with liberty for the defendant to move to enter a nonsuit, or turn it into a special verdict by consent of the parties, should the Court be of opinion that the contract was valid. From the evidence given upon the trial, it appeared that the plaintiff in the action was the administratrix of Mr. Lee, who, during his lifetime, had purchased two annuities, one immediate, and the other deferred, in the National Loan Fund and Life Assurance Society, of which society the defendant was the secretary. The object of the present action was to recover feom the society the' sum of 355/. paid by the decease& on the ground that at the period of his entering into - the io act he was not o f soun d m i n d . It thatappeareda shortly after th e purchase of the annuities in question, t h e lunatic deceased was confined in several asylum., and that he died in an unsound state of mind. The quest" left for the jury . to decide by the Lord Chief Baron was, whether the plaintiff was, at the time of making the acsnitLict, of a sound mind, and had tlie defendant any the contract such an one as woulcrOefasollne re ; or was be altered into by a sane person, without fraud on a th company. The jury Ind that he was of u e ns p o a u r n t el lf 11j 1 at the time of the contract, that the contract wasmplear fectly fair, and that there was not slightest ground fer attributing fraud to the company. Mr, GIIIINEY now moved, pursuant to leave given 114,t the trial, to enter a nonsuit, on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the deceased was of un sound mind at the time of his entering upon the contract. Mr. Baron PARKE — A departure has recently been made from the old rule, which prevented any person pleading lunacy as the grounds of non-liability ; but it must be set out in the declaration that the plaintiff was known to be of unsound mind. The LORD CHIEF BARON—There is no doubt but that the contract was perfectly fair and honourable, and, for a person in the situation of the purchaser, was highly desirable and advantageous. It was finally arranged that the verdict should be made special in the case by consent of the parties. THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, * JANUARY 16, 1847. gether guiltless, and was ready to make immediate resti tution, it it should be required. Mr. Humphrey, on the part of Mr. Margetson, said that that gentleman considered himself defrauded of 100/., and determined not to submit to the loss without causing an investigation to be made. How he was de prived of his money it was not necessary to state. Cer tainly he considered it to be a duty towards the public to bring the matter before the Lord Mayor, and he had refused to come to any private arrangement without the sanction of his Lordship, and it was for his Lordship to decide whether the case ought or ought not to be pro ceeded with. Mr. Margetson entertained no vindictive feeling towards the defendants, but it would be madness to say that the gentleman would not be rejoiced to get back his money—(A laugh)—and be stood in the Court to abide his Lordship's opinion as to whether the case ought or ought not to be abandoned, and to act accord ingly at that moment. The LORD MAYOR said it was quite impossible for him to have anything personally to do with the business. It appeared to him, from the statements made of the transaction, that a fraud had been committed against the complainant, and he was determined to make every effort in his power, as a magistrate, to do justice in such a case. However, there undoubtedly was, in his belief, difficulties which a jury could not easily overcome, one of the principal of which was the difficulty as to the in sertion of the advertisement, stating that the company bad determined to return 11. 12s. 6d. per share. He felt, under such circumstances, that the course he was bound to take was to discharge the defendants, He at the same time protested against the inference that such a course was to be used as a means of compromise in an act of fraud. The justice-room should not be a place to which people would resort to obtain restitution for money. At the same time he should be always ready and willing to render any assistance to his fellow-citi zens against the machinations of unprincipled men. The defendants then left the justice-room, and Mr. Margetson having had his 100/. returned to him, retired also. SUICIDE OF AN ACTOR AT MAN. CHESTER. An inquest was held yesterday at the Royal Infir mary, before Mr. J. Roberts, solicitor, the deputy co roner of the borough, on view of the body of Peter Fitzsimon, comedian, aged forty years, a married man, but not residing with his wife. Egerton Berry, of No. 22, Kennedy-street, stated that the deceased lodged at their house, and had done so for some time. On Tues day evening, the sth instant, witness heard a knocking in deceased's room, and on going there with a candle saw deceased sitting on the floor, with his back to the wall, and his throat cut and bleeding. Witness ran down stairs and told his sister, and then ran for a neigh bour, named George Lucas, to come to his assistance, and Lucas ran for Mr. Blackmore, surgeon, who accom panied him to the deceased's room. Deceased was found alive, with an open razor lying by his side, and, at the suggestion of Mr. Blackmore, was at once taken to the infirmary. Mary Anne Berry stated that deceased lodged with her, and that about three months ago he had a fit of drinking. Since then he had been very steady, up to about three weeks ago, when he went to the theatre very tip s y, a nd returned home afterwards and took to his bed, and remained there a fortnight. During that time he only got up at night, and then only to get quite tipsy, but on coming to himself, he wrote a note to Mr. Sloan, his employer, which I took and de livered for him. Mr. Sloan sent word he would have nothing more to do with him, which seemed to trouble him much. After that he went on drinking, and on Tuesday committed the rash act described. Richard Berry, a son of the last witness, gave similar evidence, stating in addition that deceased used to get up and walk about the room all night, as if he could not sleep. De ceased several times conversed with him about suicides, and on the Sunday before his death asked if there had been any suicides committed in town. Witness told him two or three, when he inquired if he would have nerve to cut his own throat, and witness replied no; he asked which he thought the easiest death, shooting or cutting the throat. Deceased had often told him he wished he was dead. Mr. Bowring, house surff "eon at the Infirmary, stated that deceased was admitted, as before stated, and that he died on Sunday last, from the wound in his throat. Although he was sensible, he gave no reason for the rash act, yet admitted that he had done it him self.

EXTRAORDINARY AND EXTEN SIVE ROBBERY IN HARDWICK-PLACE, DUBLIN. On Sunday, a robbery of a very extraordinary nature took place at No. 10, Hardwick-place, Temple-street, in the house of Mrs. Irvine. It appears from what could be collected in the present stage of the proceedings, that at about half past eleven o'clock on Sunday, Mrs Irvine and her family went out to church, leaving a servant man named Patrick Donnelly in the house ; some time after two o'clock the family returned and knocked at the door several times, but received no answer. At last a man was called, who got into the area and so to the kitchen, where he found Donnelly with his legs tied to the table, and his hands by a cord to another portion of the table also. There was a rope roud his cheat which was at tached round the table, and in this position he was found, He was at once liberated, and on being questioned he said shortly after twelve o'clock a very respectable look ing man knocked at the door, and, on his opening it- the man walltod into the hall, and was at once follow• - -two other persons. The "respectable" man, he sh e , pulled out a pistol, levelled it at his breast, and swore if he uttered a word he would blow his brains out. He (Donnelly) then went on to say, that three persons then took him to the kitchen, where they tied him in the po sition he was found, and menaced him with death if he called out. They then went up stairs, he said, and rifled all the house, and that was the only account he could give of the transaction. The police were called in, and the story seeming improbable, Donnelly was taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the rob - bery. On examining the house it was found that desks, drawers, presses, &c., had been forced open by a hammer, which belonged to the house, and which was found on the premises, and the marks fitted exactly. It was dis covered thet bank notes to the folio wing amount were stolen ;—one 501. note, two 201. notes, two 101. notes, four 5/. notes, and five 1 /. notes, and ie following arti cles of plate and other valuables :—twelve silver forks, six table spoons, twelve dessert spoons, a large gravy ladle, a soup ladle, eight egg spoofs, six salt spoons, a fish trowel, eight large silver spoons, two dozen plated forks, six tea spoons, a locket set in gold, a gold coronet, a Mosaic ring, and a quantity of old coins. The plate was all crested, and the whole was valued at 1651. 10s.

It appeared that this woman went in a covered car in the course of Monday, to several places, where herself and her respected husband owed money, and paid all that was due, and Mary Boylan offered a 10/. note in payment of some things which she purchased at a shop in Dorset -street. The shopkeeper at once had her arrested, and handed her over with the note to the police. The whole of the parties were on Monday brought before Dr. Kelly, at Henry -street police office, where the above facts transpired, and his worship remanded them until Thursday, at one o'clock. The police are in search of the stolen property. It is remarkable that the house of Mrs. Irvine is situate quite convenient to George's Church, and the policeman on duty did not ob serve any person enter the house during the time. The beadle of the church was also outside, and he did not see any person knock at the door. A lady who lives oppo site, and was looking through the window almost all the time, said she did not see any person enter the house except a woman, whom it is supposed is Donnelly's wife. The matter stands so at present, but it is supposed that by Thursday some light may be thrown on it.—Dublin Pilot. BURGLARY AT PLYMOUTH.

Th e only articles stolen were a plain silver watch, a small gold chain with seals, and with a silver guard attached to the watch, and a gold Lisbon chain. These articles were of small pecuniary value, but Admiral Phillips feels the loss severe , as they were a kind o f keepsake r recently given to him by his late deceased son.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENT IN THE LACE TRADE.— A very respectable and well attended public meeting of the fancy lace -machine owners, was held on Tuesday, at the News House, St. James's-street. We are informed that they unanimously resolved to commence a spirited subscription for the purpose of protecting themselves against any felonious attempts which may be resorted to for robbing th em o f their own rightful i nvent i ons.

TENBY, SAUNDERS FOOT ,_ AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAY AND PIER. —The first ordinary meeting of this company under their Act was held yesterday, at their offices, in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, when the report of the provisional committee was unanimously adopted. Sir R. R. Phillips was elected chairman of the directors, and Mr. Barlow, jun., secretary of the company. As soon as the season op ens the works w i ll b e commence d , and the dividend to b e p a id on the capital to be fire per cent. subscribed is CROCKFORD V. LORD MAIDSTONE. Mr. JAMES moved in this cause fur a new trial, on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge who tried the case. _ _ _ The action was brought by the executors of Mr. Crockford to recover a considerable sum of money from the defendant, Lord Maidstone, for entrance fees and subscriptions to the club-rooms established by the late Mr. Crockford. The defendant pleaded to a portion of the declaration that the house in question was a common gaming-house. The Lord Chief Baron, who tried the cause, not being of that opinion, so directed the jury, and the jury, in consequence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. It was now contended that there was evidence to show that this was a common gaming-house within the meaning of the Act.—Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 15. NEWTON AND WIFE V. BOODLE AND OTHERS.-ALLEGED TRESPASS AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. In this case, which has arisen out of certain proceed ings in Cheltenham regarding Admiral Rickett's pro perty, a rule was obtained by the plaintiffs last term, to show cause why a verdict of guilty should not be en tered against Mr. Norman, one of the defendants ; and why the judgment entered in last Michaelmas term should not be set aside, a term's notice not having been given. The plaintiff complained that the late Lord Chief Justice had improperly withheld the evidence ad duced against the defendant Norman from going to the jury, and that a bill of'exceptions, taken by the plaintiff, had not been sealed before the death of the Learned Judge. The action was for the alleged false imprison ment of Mrs. Newton, who had been taken on a writ. The defendants are Mr. Wroe, the registered proprietor of the Cheltenham Eaaminer ; Mr. Norman, said to be the editor ; and their law agents, Messrs. Boodle and Lawcott ; and the proceedings arose out of a previous action, "Newton v. Norman," for an alleged libel in the newspaper respecting the claims of Mrs. Newton to Admiral Rickett's property, in which a verdict went for the defendant. A writ for the costs was issued, on which Mrs. Newton was arrested ; hence the present action, which was tried on the 20th of February, 1845. To the declaration not guilty and a justification were pleaded. A verdict of not guilty was given on behalf of Norman, and with regard to the other three, though the trespass was proved, a verdict of justification was returned in their favour. After some other proceedings fof delay on the part of the plaintiff, judgment against him was signed on Nov. 14th last, hence the rule fixed for argument to-day. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD was heard at some length against the rule, contending there was not a tittle of evidence against Mr. Norman, and that with regard to the other point, the regular course of practice had been strictly adhered to. The rule should therefore be discharged. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL followed on the same side. Mr. NEWTON, who conducted his own case, replied in a very long speech. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the rule came before the Court under peculiar circumstances. It appeared on the trial that the Lord Chief Justice had ruled that there was no evidence for the jury against Norman. A bill of exceptions was tendered against the decision of the Judge, and also for the non•produrtion of the writ, or evidence of the writ, on which the alledged trespass had taken place. A note of the exceptions was handed to the Judge, and subsequently the sealing of the bill founded on these notes was de layed, from the original notes having been mislaid, and from some other circumstances that had arisen. Shortly after this the Lord Chief Justice died, but before the bill of exceptions had been closed. This was a matter the present Court had not the power to remedy. On a former occasion a motion on this head had been dis charged, but that substantial justice might be done the rule in the present form was allowed. Having now gone into the points raised by the present application, and having gotie over the notes of the late Lord Chief Justice, he was of opinion that there was no evidence whatever to fix Norman, and he considered the ruling of the late Chief Justice on that head quite correct. On this ground, as well as on the others stated, he considered the rule should be discharged. The rest of their Lordships concurred. Rule accordingly discharged. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, Jan. 15. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) THE DUKE CHARLES OF BRUNSWICK V. VALLANCE. This was an action brought by the Duke of Brunswick against his former solicitor for recovery of a moiety of the costs incurred iu the joint defence of the Duke and his attorney to the action brought against them by Barnard Gregory for the alleged conspiracy to hiss and hoot him from the stage of Covent-garden Theatre in February 1843. ' It appeared that the defendant had obtained an order of Mr. Justice Coleridge for the plaintiff to deliver to the dofendant the partieulara of his ohaitu iu the present action, with dates, &c., and as is usual, restraining the Duke from proceeding with this action until such parti culars were given. A vague statement claiming 6001. as the moiety, was delivered by the Duke, and the declara tion in the action accompanied the statement. Tho present was an application to set aside the decla ration for irregularity, the same having been delivered in defiance of the order of Mr. Justice Coleridge, the statement of alleged claim being insufficient. An order was made by Mr. Justice ERLE to set aside the declaration for irregularity with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE RAILWAY CASE.—Mr. P. Scanlan, Mr. W. Killick, Mr. H. Flight, again appeared before the Lord Mayor for further examination upon the charge of having conspired to defraud Mr. Margetson, of Aldermanbury, of 100 L, by borrowing that sum of him upon the security of Direct Lincoln, East Retford, and Sheffield Junction Railway Shares. Mr. Humphrey appeared upon the part of Mr. Margetson, the complainant; Mr. Duncan, the barrister, upon the part of Mr. Scanlan, and Mr. Ballan tine for Mr. Killick and Mr. Knight. Before the case was proceeded with, Mr. J. B. Shuttle worth, of No. 33, East Cheap, one of the provisional com mittee, who had been summoned, and examined as a wit ness on the preceding examination, appeared before his Lordship to complain, he said, of a false and libellous imputation made upon that occasion. After he had left the justice-room against his character. Mr. Duncan (for Mr. Scanlan) objected to allow any innovation upon the usual course of proceeding, to be made by one person. The LORD MAYOR said he understood that Mr. Shut tleworth's object was to defend himself against a false accusation brought against him in his absence, and which he felt bound, in common justice to himself, to contradict. Mr. Duncan said he considered the application of Mr. Shuttleworth to be heard was entirely against the com mon practice, and submitted that what that gentleman had to say might in some degree prejudice the defen dants. He, therefore, should persevere in opposing the interruption to the case, which after havin° been once called upon, ought to be allowed to proceed without being at all interfered with. The LORD MAYOR said he certainly should take the liberty to exercise his discretion upon such an occasion, and could not see how the natural desire to correct a calumnious misrepresentation could prejudice person s by whom it had not been made. Mr. Shuttleworth thanked the Lord Mayor, and said the gross calumny of which he complained was, that Mr. Bevan, the secretary to the company, had said in the justice-room, that he (Mr. Shuttleworth) had " fraudulently drawn cheques to defraud the committee of the Stock Exchange. " Here Mr. Shuttleworth pro. duced before his Lordship five cheques, which he had signed in conjunction with two other members of the committee, dated in January and February 1846, and solemnly assured his Lordship that ho had never signed any other cheques for, or in connexion with, the company ; that application was not made to the Stock Exchange to fix a settling day until in the month of June following ; that the charge made by Mr. Bevan was entirely false ; and that the false imputation having appeared in the news papers, he felt it absolutely necessary to put himself right with his friends and the public by as publicly giving the most unqualified denial to the statement, con. vinced that however inconsiderate he had been in con necting himself with the company, no imputation could justly be fastened upon his honour or integrity during the period of 32 years in which he had carried on busi ness in the city of London. The LORD MAYOR said he believed at the moment the secretary made the statement that there was no truth whatever in it, and he expressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the secretary in speaking so injuriously of Mr. Shuttleworth after that gentleman had left the Justice-room. His Lordship added that Mr. Shuttle. worth was known to him to be a man of high respecta bility, and he was care that the press would be glad to remove the impression which this false statement was calculated to make. Mr. Ballantine then addressed the Lord Mayor. The Learned Council stated, that he believed the case was about to be closed agreeable to all parties. It would be admitted by Mr. Margetson, that the defendants had shown every willingness to return the money which had been borrowed upon the shares, and that gentleman was, he believed, ready to accept the offer and abandon all further proceedings. Mr. Humphrey, the solicitor to Mr. Margetson, was aware that there were legal difficulties in this case, hich, it there were grounds of charging moral offences against the defendants, would be likely to be insurmountable. If, under these circumstances, the Lord Mayor presented no obstacle, the complainant would not proceed further, and the immediate restitution to which his clients considered Mr. Margetson entitled, should be made. His Lordship had, no doubt, performed his duty in investigating the subject of dispute, and had executed the task in a manner which placed both parties under obligations to him. In all probability it would be considered a failure of justice that all parties should be released from further responsibility of attendance, and that the defendants should be relieved from the charge. Mr. Duncan said he fully agreed with the Learned Counsel in what had been stated as to the performance of the part which the Lord Mayor had found it neces sary to take upon himself, in the course of the painful transactions. All he would say as to Doctor Scanlan, his client, was, that that gentleman felt himself alto. THE LAW OF COPT RIGHT. The trial just brought to an issue by the representa tives of tha late Dugald Stewart and Messrs. A. and 13. Black, in Edinburgh, us involving important legal points, and disclosing some curious literary facts, we think worthy of some special notice. The relative po sition of author and bookseller has been one too fre quently beset with unpleasant suspicion and dissatisfac tion, arising mostly from the utter ignorance of authors of the details of publishing, and of booksellers of the pangs of authorship. We are glad, therefore, when a searching trial like the present discloses nothing but the liberal►ty and honour of the bookseller, showing that a truly liberal sum had been awarded, acknowledging the power of the author, and the estimation of the public for the really excellent. The last Copyright Law settled that the articles con tributed to a periodical belowg to the proprietor of such periodical, but cannot be published separately without the consent of the author. In the present instance it was endeavoured to be maintained by the representa tive of " Dugald Stewart," that the Essay (although 1,600/. was paid for it,) was intended only for the " Sup plement of the Encyclopaedia Britannica," and not for the re-edition of that work, incorporating all the sup plementary and much additional matter. The evidence of Mr. Robert Cadell, and other authoritative witnesses, however, put the matter in so strong a light that the idea was considered preposterous, and an immediate verdict was given for the defendants. During the trial, the magnitude of the expenses of this truly national work, the "Encyclopaedia Britannica," seventh edition, in 21 volumes, quarto, was shown, and it was proved to have been no less a sum than 125,6671. 9s. 3d.—a sum which, when considered as the venture of two private individuals, is truly creditable to our native enterprise and energy. This amount of course includes every item of expendi• ture, among which the following are the most important: Contributions and Editing £22,59 - 2 11 _ . Printing Stereotyping Paper Bookbinding 12,739 12 2 Engraving and Plate Printing 11,777 18 1 For the contribution of the Dissertation in dispute, Dugald Stewart received from the firm of Constable and Co. 1,6001., and for the accompanying Dissertations by Sir James Mackintosh and Sir John Leslie. the present proprietors of the Encyclopaedia paid 1,0301. The cost of Professor Play fair's Dissertation is not precisely stated, but if paid for at the same rate as Sir John Leslie's, it could not fall short of 5001. For editing the volume, the sum of 3301. was paid, bringing up the total expenditure for the literary labouriof this volume alone to 3,4501. Of this outlay only 106,5261. had as yet been returned to the proprietors, but we trust that the sale of the stock, which, as it embraces the works of so many cele brated men must continue for many years, will ultimately reward the spirit and energy of its projectors.—Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper. WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL. (From the Lancet.) OPERATIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ETHER. JAN. 11.—A number of surgeons assembled this day in the operating theatre of the above hospital to witness certain operations, performed by Mr. Hale Thomson, on patients rendered previously insensible to pain by the in halation of ether. The vapour was administered by Mr. Robinson, dentist, of Gower-street, to whom society is much indebted for the invention of an apparatus by which the ether may be employed with security and cer tainty. the first patient was a woman of middle age suffering under condylomatous growths from the labia. After an inhalation of about four minutes, the patient was pronounced in a state fit for the operation. The morbid growths were then dexterously removed by Mr. Thomson, without any expression of pain on the part of the patient, and without any signs of suffering apparent on her countenance. The only indication of the nervous system being awake to the operation was the spasmodic action of the lower limbs, which took place at the ma went of excision; but it was quite obvious that this was an excito-rnotory phenomenon, and had no connexion with sens s,tion. On the completion of the operation, some wine-and water was given to the 'patient, who seemed awakening from a dream, and appeared for some minutes uncertain of her own identity, and of the reality of the new world which was opening gradually to her senses. Her man ner was thnt of a delirious person communing with her self, and exhibited a strong manifestation of Dr. Wigan's theory of the duality of the mind. After sundry eja culations of wonder and surprise, she turned her head on her pillow, and recognised one of the physicians as a " real ina,u," and discovered, to her infinite delight, that she was still a denizen'of earth, although her next ex clamation, that she thought herself in a " beautiful heaven," exhibited little gratitude for her temporary transition to a celestial abode. Upon being told that she was to su , ,unit to an operation, she said she knew it, and was ready ; and when informed that the operation was over, seemed unable to believe it. A little hysterical crying, the combined result of apprehension, wonder, and delight, followed, and she was taken back to her bed. Before we left the hospital we learnt that she was fast asleep. 'The second patient, a young man, was operated on for phymosis. He was ready in about four minutes from the comment,ement of inhalation, and the operation pro duced no evidence of the presence of sensation. Indeed, in his case. there was an absence of the excito-motory movements •exhibited by the female patient. Some little time claps ee before the ligatures were completed, and the last was passed after he had to all appearance recovered from the stupor caused by the operation. He evinced the return of sensation by an ejaculation of pain, but relapsed imr.nediately into a forgetfulness of the opera tion, being more intent upon the " delightful dream" which he 'arid just experienced than upon the dull realities around hire.. On being asked if he had suffered pain, he said that h e had felt nothing ; and upon being further interrogal,:e d as to his sensations, replied that he would answer th e question to-morrow. Like the female patient, u're was a little hysterical sobbing after the operation,, apparently occasioned by the recollection of previous ;I) ness and suffering ; so that, in point of fact, a surgical op eration has now come to be a source of regret, as an enj oyment too quickly passed away. The imp ression made by these operations on the minds of the gentlemen present, among whom we noticed, Mr. White, /[r.. Guthrie, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Erasmus Wil son, and Mr. Fisher, appeared to be one of perfect satis faction, and Mr. Robinson was deservedly congratulated on the sup !ess of his mechanical contrivance for the administrati on of the vapour. GOVERNMENT AND THE DRAIN .AGE ACT IN SCOTLAND. At a county meeting held here last week, some im portant intOrrnation was communicated by our Sheriff depute, W. Fraser Tytler, Esq , with respect to the Drainage Act, and the views of Government. The former reso kitions of the county had been transmitted to Sir George Grey, and on the proposed extension of the Drainage Aet the greatest readiness and liberality had been evinced by the Home Secretary. So early as Oc tober last, AD:. Tytler had been in correspondence on this subject, :and the following is a passage from a letter of Sir Geor Grey:— " I shoulur 'recommend that any parties who wish to have the qu !&tion decided, should state in their applica• tion to the In closure Commissioners the exact nature of the work wliic h they propose to effect, and in respect of which the aRv ante is sought; and there, probably, would be little diffil.:r .Ity in determining whether the application is one which c :aa be complied with under the provisions of the Act." On this sun ~ , estion, Mr. Tytler said, he at once for warded an api ilication to the Commissioners, embracing such an exte ii ion of the Act as he had advocated in his correspondeiso )—namely, for the improvement by drain age and trent hing 400 acres, of which about 150 were arable and 2 0 waste land, of a highly improveable na ture. He to a k care to follow, as implicitly as possible, the course prf scribed by the Act. His application was immediately . acknowledged by Mr. Blamire, one of the Commissioner s, who stated, that " as all the particulars required by le 14th section of the Act had been set forth in the < <1 iplication, they would have no difficulty in issuing the iv quisite notices prescribed by section 18." No more sat is factory proof of the favourable disposition of Governm(;) it with regard to this important measure could be give ; and Mr. Tytler added, that to the ear nest zeal, ab; Ility, and intelligence with which Mr. Blamire disch La rged his duties as a commissioner under the Act, the 1 anded interest of Scotland was under the greatest obligE lion. The scheme of an amended Act being now co n Imitted to him, gentlemen had only to look to the si ,irit of Mr. Blamire's letter of the 24th October (inser ti ..d in all the newspapers), and to his re marks on the x eport of the Highland Society, both of which have bee ;a printed by order of Government, to be satisfied that t a interests of this part of the kingdom could not have la 3en placed in better hands. This opinion of Mr. Fraser Tytler's is, we believe, general throng's , nit the north, and we trust Mr. Blamire will be able to e xtend the Drainage Act into a general Land Improve cent Act (including draining, trenching, fencing, and o tl ,er requisites of rural cultivation) which will be a gre a t benefit to the landed interest, besides being of inestii r.able advantages to the labouring classes. That this will accomplished is now generally believed, and, according la r, applications pour in to the Inclosure Commissioners from Scottish proprietors. Inverness Courier. FATHER E , rsTACE BY MRS. TROLLOPE.—In the supposition th. the Jesuits have establishments in Eng land to carry 4 zi intrigues in private families, and that they have subt k agents who can assume every variety of character, Mrs. .

She has been able to acquire a more correct is , ea of Jesuitism, both in its system of morals and its ; p; ►nners, than is to be found in the pages of Eugene Sue., Her narrative is in good keeping ; con cede that the ae suits are busily at work in society, and the whole story • will have almost a matter-of-fact air, so admirable is ti , ,e • tact with which Mrs. Trollope gives a colour of reali try to all she describes. Her skill is unrivalled, in bilending together mental emotions and physical enjoy rnents. No other writer could so well . connect the da tic designs of the General of the Jesuits at Rome with dr awing-room coquetry ; monkish intrigues with the gaie ties of a waltzing party. Mrs. Trollope shows that sh a can sound the depths of society, as well as skim over i t-3 surface, and can select its gems for illus tration as el( ,rly as she can cast a scornful glance upon its weeds.— -p, ritannia.

Mimi] Anson, Bart., K.C.8., a Peninsular officer, and Colonel of the 47th (the Lan cashire) Regiment of Foot, died near Weedon, on Wed nesday last, in the 75th year of his age. Sir William was 58 years in the service, having entered the army as ensign, June 13, 1789. He skipped over the rank of lieutenar.t, and obtained that of captain, April 25, 1793. He never held the rank of Major, and was made a lieutenant-colonel, Sept. 28, 1797 ; colonel, Oct, 30 ; major-general, June 4, 1811 ; lieutenant-general, Aug. 12, 1819 ; and general, Jan. 10, 1837. Sir William Anson went to Holland with a brigade of Guards in 1793, and was present at the battle of Famars, and the commencement of the siege of Valenciennes ; served also during the whole of the severe winter campaign of 1794 and 1795, and retreat of the army ; and in all the previous operations on the French frontier. Served also in Sicily in 1806 and 1807 ; the campaign in Spain, in 1808.9, in command of Ist battalion Grenadier Guards, including the battle of Corunna ; subsequently on the expedition to the Scheldt. Placed on the staff in the Peninsula, in 181 1 , and appointed to the command of a brigade in the 4th division ; present at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. For the above-mentioned battles Sir William received a cross and three clasps. He held the colonelcy of the 47th from March 25, 1835. Sir William was grand-nephew of the celebrated Admiral Lord Anson, son of the late Viscount Anson, and uncle of the present Earl of Lichfield, and brother to General Sir George Anson, G.C,8., Colonel 4th Dragoon Guards, and Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospitll ; only two senior on the list of generals. Sir William Anson was created a baronet in 1831, two months after the death of his wife. Three sons and three daughters survive him, the eldest, now Sir John William Hamilton, of the Royal Horse Guards, born in 1816. DEATH OF MAJOR GRENVILLE.—This distinguished officer, whose name has of late years been familiar in military circles, owing to his connexion as partner with the eminent firm of Sir John Kirkland and Co., expired on Wednesday last at his residence in Pimlico, from the effects of a bodily complaint. He entered the army in 1809 as ensign in the 69th Foot ; was promoted to a lieutenancy in 1811 ; to a captaincy in 1819 ; and to a majority by brevet in 1837. During the latter years of his active service he was connected with the 2d Foot, from which, in 1840, he retired with the full pay of a captain. For several years the deceased served on the staff as aide-de-camp to the Commander-in-Chief in the Bombay Presidency. Field-Marshal Sir George Nugent has caused new clothing appointments to be made to the non commis sioned officers of his regiment, the 6th Foot, in conse- quenee of his recent promotion from the rank of general. The gallant officer is in the 90th year of his age. Lieut.-General Alderson and Major-General Fan shawe are appointed assistants to Sir John F. Burgoyne, Inspector-General of Fortifications. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 15.—Captain Sir William Sy monds, R.N., surveyor of the navy, visited this dock yard to-day, to see how the late steam frigate Retribu tion got on in her equipment as a meal and biscuit depot. The Crocodile receiving ship, Lieutenant Commander Prothero, left the basin this morning, and was warped into Blockhouse hole to complete fitting. The Kestrel brigantine, and Sparrow, cutter, were aftewards hauled into the basin, to be prepared for service. The Emerald and Mercury tenders, and the Lively navy lighter, have each shipped a cargo of provisions to-day, and sailed for Cork. The tenders will bring back supernumeraries. The lively is to be employed in carrying coals from Cork to the Shannon after she has discharged her provisions. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, hauled off from the jetty this morning, and will be ready for service to morrow evening, when it is expected she will proceed to Ireland with biscuit and meal. The Adventure naval transport, which has on board a small quantity of stores for Ireland, will, as soon as she has discharged her freight here, fill up with provisions for Ireland.
