Yesterday the New Sunday and National School was opened in Hoxton-square, under the patronage of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and the Presidency of the Bishop of London. The time of performing the ceremony of opening the school was fixed for one o'clock, but it did not take place until half past three o'clock, owing, we understood, to the protracted ab sence of the Duke of York. His Royal Highness entered the School-room (which is a spacious building, and well adapted for the purpOse) accompanied by the Bishop bf London, the Archdeacon of London, the Rector, Vicar, and Curate of the parish, at half past three o'clock, and attended by a large body of the parishioners, including a number of Ladies : amongst the latter was the Lady Mayoress. • The VICAR commenced the ceremony by delivering a prayer for the success of the Institution and its benefactors. The Rev. ROBERT CROSBY (the curate of the parish) re turned thanks to the Royal Patron of the school for the ho nour he had conferred upon the parish by his attendance. The Rev. Gentleman expatiated in a forcible manner on the ad. vantages of the school, as well as the strong necessity which existed for its formation. He said, that this palish according to the return of its population in 1821, contained 52,966 inha bitants, of which number 19,914 were Lnd?..r the age of 15 years ; and, after considerable inquiry, it was believed that the - circumstances of the parents of three-fourths of them precluded the possibility of their obtaining any instruction which was not provided for them free of - expence ; and the only institutions within the parish wherein gratuitous instruction, according to the principles of the Established Church was afforded, were two charity schools for the education of 160 girlS. The Rev. Gen tleman, in conclusion, expressed a. fervent hope that the pro gress of education through the means of the national schools would speedily realize the pions and truly benevolent. wish of his late Majesty, that " the .poorest of his subjects would shortly have the means of reading his Bible." His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, in returning thanks for the kind expressions which bad been applied to him, said, that no man felt more convinced than he did of the vital im portance of disseminating education upon the principles of the -National School. His Royal Highness added, that being con vinced of the indispensable union of the Church and State, and that they must stand or fall together, it gave him the greatest pleasure to attend on any occasion which had for its object the promotion of Church of England education among all classes of the poor. The male and female children were then introduced, and ex amined in their progress in religious ethication, by the Rev. Mr. Crosby : their. proficiency was very apparent, and they were complimented upon it by the Royal Chairman,, and the Bishop of London. The children concluded by repeating prayers and singing a hymn in a distinct and appropriate manner. The Bishop of LoNnorf then bestowed the highest com mendations on the object which they had assembled to promote, and earnestly hoped that both the children and their parents; wou* feel the. invaluable advantages which these schools se cured for them. To the parents he strongly inculcated the ne cessity of setting a good example to their children at home, and securing thereby, in the fullest manner, the general advantages of education now held out to them. The principal part of the company afterwards repaired to the City of London Tavern, and partook of a dinner provided for the occasion. His Royal Highness the Duke of York presided at the dinner, as well as at the ceremony of opening the schools. A liberal subscription was made after dinner, in furtherance t-f the benevolent object of the day. The highest compliments were paid to the Ladies' Committee, for their excellent and well-directed efforts in the establishment of the national schools. of it. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 20. LORD PORTSMOUTH - . Mr. HonNE said that he had been given to understand that his Lordship had communicated with some of the parries on the subject of the coinmission, and that the Commissioners were appointed : he desired to know if the time was fixed for them to commence their duties. The LORD GiraNCELLox thought that he could not well fix the time without first asking the Gentlemen who were to act as Commissioners if they had any particular wishes about the time : :ceitainly, the sooner they should begin the better. • Mr. HORNE 'said, perhaps it would be better for them to communicate with the Commissioners who were appAtifed e and then let his Lordship know. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could not _understand how the Counsel on the other side appeared, after what had taken place. .Mr. HORNE would not aQmit that the withdrawing of the caveat prevented the Counsel from appearing. The-ATTORNEY-GENERAL had understood that the Court would give notice who should attend. Mr. II oirreE asked if it was intended that the. Commissioners should select those - who were to appear ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, certainly not—his Lord ship would select them. The LORD G . DANELLOR did not apprehend that the clients of Mr. Ijorne and 'the other Gentlemen, by withdrawing the caveat, had disabled themselves from appearing or applying to the Court for leave to attend. • Mr. TRESLOVE respectfully suggested to the Court that the ward" mend," with regard to himself and his Learned Friends, was rather ambiguous. The LORD CuaNcELLolt.—By 4'. attending," I mean, to attend to oppose. - Mr. TRESLOVE expressed his satisfaction at his Lordship's explanation. Had it been otherwise expressed, it might have placed them in a situation of gre., difficulty. The LORD CHANCELLOn.—By withdrawing, the caveat, there Was no supposition implied that they thought inquiry should not take place ; but only a desire for the inquiry to be so conducted that all the circumstances should be laid before the Jury, in order to lead them to a just concluSion. Mr. HoRNE said, that what he was , going to urge respected the physicians : he thought that oilier physicians should be al lowed to see Lord Portsmouth. He proposed that Drs. Ainslie, Latham e Monroe and Willis, should be admitted. They were to the:full as respectable professors as any who had been called in by, the other side. They ought-also to'be admitted before the time should be fixed : it would be idle afterwards to talk of their seeing : Min. • \ • The Lori) CHANCELLOR did not think that unreasonalfie. If the gentlemen had the opportunity ofreading thei - n, it would bb a - cisre:Able ,that they should ko over all the medical affidavits which had been 'filed beforehand. Mr. Honriz mentioned the circumstance because he thought that his Lordship might wish to communicate with those gen tlemen. The LORD CHANCE Lreen.—lt may be as well or better for them to read over the affidavits before they attend on me ; be causee'if I haVe to state the 'effect of the affidavits,- and they are to .reid, therm afteriirds, we shall hardly ever get to the end of the case.:lV • relTerririt said, .that he would take care that the gentle men Should be informed of is Lordship's opinion. After they should lifiVe read the., affidavits perhaps his Lordship would then .see them. The AT TORNEY-GENERAL proposed that some of the other medical gentlemen who had'seen Lord Portsmouth should at tend his Lordship at the same time. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—If he called for the attendance of any of. the-Medical gentlemen, he would call for the attend ance of those who had seen Lord Portsmouth at the same time; because he wished those gentlemen to hear'anylhlekhevelfiiiild have to say to. Mr. Horne's physicians. Mr. HEALD understood that his Lordship had given no ex press order who should attend. It might occur to his Lord ship that it would be proper for the four physicians to see and examine Lord Portsmouth separately, as the other physicians had done. . . The LORD CHANCELLOR.—It would be time enough to think of that, after the physicians should have read the tffida sits. He would then see. them altogether, and be directed by , the physicians themselves whether they should see him sepa rately or in a body. With respect to the commission, he wish ed to be informed when the gentlemen would be ready to exe cute -it ? The physicians having read the affidavits, as his Lordship would probably be from town, he would come down and communicate with them altogether. Mr. HORNE suggested that the physicians should consult with the gentlemen of the commission, after which his Lord ship would consult with altogether. Mr. HAAT said, he hoped the Court would recollect that he appeared for Lord Portsmouth under very particular circum. stances. As his Lordship had said he wished to be attended by some Counsel, he (Mr. Hart) wished to know if the counsel for Lord Portsmouth should attend ? The Lonn CHANCELLOR.--You, as Counsel for Lord Portsmouth; must decide that. Mr. HART said, that he had been appointed by persons in sound mind to attend. Lord Portsmouth under very particular circumstances. The IJORD CHANCELLOR.—Then you must be instructed by those persons in sound mind again. I cannot direct you. • Mr. HART said, that it would not be necessary for him to attend if his Lordship would give a special order that the feel ings of Lord Portsmouth should not be hurt. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that some intercourse with Lord Portsmouth would be necessary ; to what degree it should be allowed he could not say, nor would he direct any thing until he was made acquainted with all the circumstances. Mr. HART observed, that let the case take whatever turn it would, Lord Portsniouth was capable Of enjoying a great pro portion of the comforts of society, and therefore it was import- ant that nothing should be done to affect those enjoyments of which he was capable. The Loan CHANCELLOIL—He had already given such di rections as to the intercourse allowed between Lord Ports mouth and some of his connexions as would prevent his feel ings from being hurt. Therefore he (the Lord Chancellor) thought that he might have had credit for doing whatever should be further necessary to be done, in the same manner. Mr. Kane. said that it would be unnecessary for him to at tend; but Mr. Bickerstaff would be in attendance, and he could offer to his Lordship some,valuable sugestions. The LORD CHANCELLOR was ready to receive useful sug gestions : he thought he ought to see Mr.:__Bickerstaff. Mr. HART said that the Counsel for Lord Portsmouth had met the disapprobation of both sides, which indicated that they had done right ; or, at leaet that they had not'done wrong. - The LORD CHANCELLOR was extremely anxious that some of the Gentlemen should attend on each side when he met the physicians, because on any points he might take up with re spect to the physicians, if he should be wrong, they (the Counsel) would be able to set him right; and if he were right, there would be no misunderstanding. EX-PARTE MURRAY. ' Mr. BEAMES applied to have the name of the petitioner put upon the list of attornies of the Court on paying 6s. lid. into Court. Hehad taken out a certificate in 1821, which had not been renewed in time. The practice of the Court of Kipg's Bench was to allow the certificate to be renewed with the usual fee of Os. Bd., provided the party had not practised since the ex piration of his certificate. Probably his Lordship might remem ber the case of Adley, which he had determined upon, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he remembereel it well, on account of 6s. tkl. the proper disposition of which, so as to direct its course into the Exchequer, had given hini no small degree of trouble. Mr. BEAMES said, that the money had rested, he believed, for a considerable time in the pocket of his Lordship's Secre tary.—(A laugh.) The Aonn CHANCELLOR did not know what had become Mr. BEAMES presumed that he might have the order, on si paring the fee Os. Bd. into the Master's office. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the order might be had, on paying such a fee as the Master thought fit to demand. IN THE MATTER OF RYE HARBOUR. Mr. HART said, that an objection had ' been taken to the trial of issues directed by his Lordship in this case. The improvements in the harbour were said to be dangerous to the neighbouring lands. This caused the mercantile and agricnl tural interests to be opposed, and there were doubts if a fair trial could be had in Sussex or Kent; He then read affidavits froin the Commisioneri of the. harbour, merchants,' and other respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood, stating their be lief that an impartial trial could not be had in either of the adjoining counties. ..Mr:SUGDEN followed on the same side. The ATTORNEV-GENERAT.. and Mr. SHADWELL support eitilie original decree. • , The Loon CHANCELLOR directed the trial to take place in the county of Surrey. . The issues embraced two points-- first, the alleged nuisance ; secondly, if, being proved a nui sance, it existed previously to tile construction of the harbour. • NEWTON V. STAINEORTH • AND OTHERS.. Mr. HORNE—In this case, which he was informed an in junction was granted ex parte on Wednesday last, to stay the defendants from receiving the freight of the ship Urania ; he was now instructed to give notice of motion on behalf of Messrs. Stainforth and . Gosling, to dissolve that injunction.• He made this statement, because when the matter was before under con sideration, a - question 'lca& 'ai-istr niaterialTY'affected the property as it did the character of his clients. The circum stance to which be! alluded had found its way into the public papers, of which be did not mean to complain; but he trusted that a contradiction, which would be given to'this statement by the defendants, would also find publicity by the same channel. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 20. THWAITES V. THE _PROPRIETORS OF THE ENGLISH CIIRONICLE. BELT.'said he was instructed to move his Honour for an injunction to restrain the defendants from making use of the types set up and used in tip first place for printing The Afor-n -ing herald newspaper, of which the plaintiff was a part proprie tor, and in the management of which lie took an active share. The defendants, who were exclusive proprietors of The English Chronicle, were also'sharelholders in the property of The Morn ing Herald, the valu eof which had of late greatly increased. The defendantshadlong been in the practice of converting to the pur po;es of their concern the materials of this latter establishment, without however any right to be derived in equity from the con tract subsisting between them and the other proprietors of The Morning Herald. They in this manner evaded the expence of acquiring information, and had sometimes filled their own co lumns with very important and interesting subjects. He hoped, therefore, that in a case of this description the Court would feel no scruple to grant the injunction for which he now prayed. Mr. Acwi appeared for the defendants, and resisted This itpplication on the ground of the nature and circumstances of the existing copartnerships. The practice now complained of, of printing from the types set for the use of The Morniiig Herald, had continued for 13 years, and it was but recently that so strong an objection had, been raised against it. The power 'of that Court was great, but-the unavoidable effect of its exercise in this instance would be to suspend and ruin The English Chronicle. Mr. BAe23Ea, on the same side, remarked, that if the Court were thus suddenly to interpose its restraining authority.; it must be. attended with fatal effects to the defendants' concern. The practice now prevailing had never been concealed: and yet it was now reprobated as if it were just discovered, or as 'though it was perfectly novel ; the fact being, however, that it •had continued from the year 1804, without interruption, to the present time. The Vtcr-CrLorcEttott asked when notice was first served on the defendants, of the present application. Mr. BARBER vswered, that he understood it was on the 18th of last November. • The interval which had since elapsed was t not of sufficient length to enable the founders, to prepare the necessary quantity of types, but he could assure his Honour that not a moment had been lost in preparing for other arrane ments, should the ultimate decision of the Court be against leis clients ; and in the course of a month thbse arrangements would probably be completed. . -The - ,irreE-Cuawer tton said, that lie felt himself consider ably impressed with the weight of that consideration, which related to the probably ruinous effects that .might follow the sudden interference of the Court amongst these parties.. He 'should postpone his judgment, therefore, till the First Seal be fore next Term, but wished, at the same time to be understood as entertaining little or no doubt upon the principal, or indeed only, question before him. A month's delay, however, it ap-' pearcd, from all he had heard, could do no serious injnry or wrong to one side, whilst it might be materially beneficial to the other party. ~... COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 20. Adjourned Sittings after 21fichaelnzas Term, btfore the LORD CHIEF .JUSTICE, and a Special Jiffy. TT.TE RING V. MEAD. This was a prosecution instituted by a person named Law, against the defendant, for perjury alleged to have been com mitted by him on a criminal tnfonnation filed by the Attorney- General against the present presecutor, for smuggling. The Counsel employed for the prosecution were Mr. JERv is, Sir WM. OwEN, Mr. JONES, anti Mr. CHITTY ; and for the defence, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. CLARK. Virhen - the names of the Jury were called, there appeared but, five Gentlemen to serve. Mr. Abbott asked the Solicitor-Ge neral if he prayed a tales. He immediatdy said, no. Mr. JONES then said, he knew he could not obtain a tale: without he had a warrant of the Attorney-General for that pur pose ; but he hoped that the Court would think the case of suf ficient importange to warrant it in interfering and ordering a tales to be summoned: The CHIEF-JUSTICE said he knew of no authority that could warrant him in proceeding in that manner. Ifthe Soli citor• General was unwilling to pray a tale:, he could not be obliged. Eighteen other prosecutions for the.same crime, instituted by the same prosecutor and other persons, against 'the same de fendant and other witnesses, on the same criminal information, were disposed of in the same manner. COMMON JURIES. BERRY v. PICKWOIiTIi. This was an action brought to recover compensation in da mages from the defendant, who is the proprietor of several ca ravans, for the injury the plaintiff had received from the care less conduct of a driver of one of these vehicles. .—., The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. SCAR-LETT and Mr. CAMPBELL and the defendant's by the SOLICITOR GENERAL and Mr. MARRY.ATT. It appeared that the plaintiff', who is an officer's widow, sup porting herself by teaching the harp, went in company with a gentleman named Tyler, in a gig, towards Vauxhall, on the 26th of August. Mr. Tyler having occasion to call at afriend's house on the road, he drew up his gig at the door, dismounted, and rang the bell. While his back was turned for that purpose, he heard a scream—his attention being thus attracted, he looked .round to the gig, and immediately perceived it turn over, and Mrs. Berry fall out. The accident was evidently caused by the defendant's caravan, which, in attenr.rt ing to pass the carriage, ran against the wheel ; he immediately ran to the lady's assist ance, and found that her arm was broken, and her wrist strained. On the part of the defendant, the dr'ver of the caravan was called, who proved that he had passed the gig without touching it, and never knew of the accident till he was at some dis tance. A person in the caravan with him corroborated his tes timony. The Jury, after retiring about an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 123/., costs, 40s. EDWARDS V. PLANK ANT) OTHERS.. This was an action to recover compensation in damages from the defendants, who were Police-officers, for their improper con duct in searching the plaintiff's house. The case for the plaintiff was conducted by Mr. SCAuLETT and Mr. CAMPBELL, and for the defendant by Mr. A D I.Pu irs. _lt appeared that a person, living in Park.lane, having lost some property, sent the defendants, on the 3(1 of November, to the house of the plaintiff, a dealer in marine stores in Shep herd's Market, .for the purpose of searching it. In the course of the search, they found a box containing two or three stave reigns, and a quantity of fire-works. This they determined to remove, and.in the attempt to do so, they struck the plaintiff several times; and abused her very grossly. They afterwards took her to Marlborough-street Police Office, and kept in con finement for two days. The search for the stolen property was; however, unsuccessful in the house of the plaintiff. Mr. DOLPHUS, for the defendants, had proceeded at some length in examining witnesses to prove that the conduct of the Police officers was rendered necessary by the resistance of the plaintiff; when • The CRIEF4IISTICE interrupted him ' by saying, it was clear that an assault had been committed by the officers on the plaintiff. It was therefore his Opinion, that the ends of justice would be best answered by the Jury finding a verdict for such nominal damages as would carry costs. .The . Jury immediately found a verdict for the ,plaintiff Damages 405., costs 40s. COURT OF CO3LVION PLEAS, DEC. 20. Sittings in London, before Mr. Justice PARK and a Cthn • • • - mon - Jury. lIARRINOTON V. PRY. ' This was an action to recover 1231. the value of certain articles . of rigging furnished to the brig Elizabeth, of which the d; fendant was part owner. The livery of the articles in quest tion was proved. It was also proved that the defendant had given orders respecting the ship, and in other respects acted . as owner. For the defendant it • was contended by Mr. Serjeant that there was not sufficient proof of his being part owner, and therefore that he ought not to be called upon to pay. The ship's register was put in, in which it did not appear that the defend ant's name was entered. Mr. Justice PARK held that there was sufficient evidence of ownership, notwithstanding that the defendant's name was net in the ship's registry. The Jury thought so too, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. WAKEMAN' V. ROBINSON. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated this case to the Juik It was an action to recover the value of a horse, which had been killed by the defendant's negligence in driving his gig With violence, by which the animal received a violent hurt in the shoulder, of which he afterwards died. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that on a day during the last Epsom races, the defendant, accompanied by a friend, was driving in his gig by Newington in the dime tion towards Epsom. .A waggon drawn by four horses waS coming in the contrary direction. Both were at first at their proper sides of the road. Defendant was driving at the rate of eight or ten miles an hour. A Greenwich coach was coming along, and in order to get by the waggon, it went on the other side. Defendant drove between the two; in doing which he pulled his off instead of the near rein, in consequence of which . , he struck against one of the waggon horses, and the shaft of his gig entered the animal's shoulder. Defendant and his friZnd were thrown out. All the witnesses for the plaintiff who, saw the accident concurred in saying/that it was occasioned by the defendant's want of skill in driving; The horse was proved to have been worth2ol. Besides this - sum, 11: 106. was paid to.a. farrier, who attended the horse after the wound. • Mr, Serjeant PELL, for thedefence, admitted that the death of the horse was caused by the defendant's gig 2• but that it was driven against it: hy a butcher's cart, which came suddenly from a lane which the'• defendant was pas Sing. It would be proved that it did not arise from the defendant's negligence, or want of skill. _ _ Mr. NV maker, the gentleman who was in company with tha defendant at the time the accident occurred, was called. He stated that as the - defendant passed the waggon, a butcher's horse came against the gig ; the horse (defendant's) plun . ggd. and endeavoured to turn back. The defendant exerted himself to pull him round, and in the act the shaft came against the hose and entered its shoulder. The accident was not caused by the defendant's want of skill. ,He had driven witness in his gig be fore, and drove very well. Mr. Justice Rau: said, that adMitting this evidence to be true, it would be no defence to,an action of trespass. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages al. l ls. LONDON SESSIONS. Yesterday these adjourned Sessions were held before the RI:OP.DER and a tench of Aldermen. A man named llztggct was indicted for an assault upon •an officer named illackY. It appeared that the officer, accompanied by another, heard loud screams and cries of 44 murder," in a house near Billings gate-market. Upon going to the house, the door of which they found open, they saw the prisoner beating his wife in a dreadful manner. The rage of the fellow, however, increased upon find ing new objects to vent it upon. The moment the officers en tered, they were attacked by the prisoner ; who seized a poker, and aimed a blow at the prosecutor's head. Very luckily the aim was a bad one, but the officers received in their attempts to prevent any mischief several knocks of a serious nature, and with the utmost difficulty prevented their assailant from doing fatal mischief. _ . _ The prisoner was defended by Mr. AND ftzws, who said that the evidence was of such a nature as not to be shaken by any thing that could be stated on the part of his client. The fact, he added, was, the unfortunate man considered, that he ought to exercise the most unbounded controul over his wife, and that his house was his castle, into which no man had a right to enter on any pretence whatever. The Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said it was well for the prisoner that the blow he had aimed at the officer's head had - not taken effect, otherwise he would have had to answer, Pro bably in a most awful manner. The sentence upon the pri soner for the abova stated assault, and for another assault on the other officer, was, that the should be imprisoned for 12 months-6 months for each offence, _ The prisoner's wife, notwithstanding his cruelty to her, which was well known to be of frequent occurrence, screamedat hear. ing his sentence, and hung round his neck with the most vio lent affection. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Common Council was holden yes terday at one o'clock for the dispatch of business. LONDON BRI DGE. Mr. OLDHAM gave notice, that if he should be re-elected to that Court, he should feel it his duty to submit certain resell dons respecting London-bridge. • He thought it highly neces sary that the Court should take measures to relieve the Corpora tion from the burden of defraying the expence of rebuilding the bridge: if that were not done, he anticipated the ruin of the city finances. He had seen the estimates of the probable ex pence of the undertaking ; and in the lowest of these it was rated at 660,0001., and in others it was calculated as high as 990,000/. He should perhaps feel it necessary to propose, that the Corporation should not interfere with the building of the bridge at all, except so far as they were obliged in their character of trustees of the bridge house estates, unless Parliament fur nished funds for the purpose. Mr. FAVELL said that nobody would be more willing than he to co-operate with the worthy Member to prevent the disas trous consequences which he thought were likely to ensue; but he was of opinion that the Court would not be in a situation to judge of the subject until they had received the report,of the Bridge-house Committee. THE ORPHANS' FUND. Mr. JUPP presented the Report of the Committee for ge neral Purposes, detailing the measures which they had taken to oppose the Bill for regulating the management of the Orphans' Fund in its progress through Parliatrent. After making some observations, which we regret to say were quite inaudible below the bar, the worthy Member moved that the Report be printed:—Ordered. . THE TOWER STAIRS. Another report was brought up from the before-named Com mittee, complaining of a nuisance which exists at the Tower stairs. The report stated, that two gates which had been erect ed at the top of these stairs at the time when the Dupe of Rich mond was Master of the Ordnance, and had always been left open, had recently been closed in such a manner as to permit only one intlividual to pass at a time. The citizens of Lon. don had from time immemorial enjoyed the privilege of landing their coals at the Tower stairs ; but now they could -do so only by permission of the Deputy Governor of therower. Some further matters of no public interest occurred, after which the Court broke up.
