LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 11. This was the first day of Hilary term, and according to the arrangements that have been adopted now for some time, of the Lord Chancellor not giving a break• fast to the Judges, Masters in Chancery, and Queen's Counsel, either on the first day of Hilary or Trinity terms, the Lord Chancellor sat to-day shortly after ten o'clock. His Lordship was occupied the whole morning with the appeal motion of " Masterman v. Lewin," which came before his Lordship upon an appeal from the de • cision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, in an inter pleading of no interest whatever except to the parties concerned. ROLLS' COUR7', Jan. 11. FISHER AND CROFTS V. OLIVER AND ATKINS. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants, who were lace manufacturers, from using the patented invention of the plaintiffs for an improve ment in the manufacture of lace. The invention, for which the patent had been obtained in 1838, purported to make ornamental lace at the same time with opaque cloth, by means of additional warp threads, and was also for making a description of lace called honeycomb. The defendants, in their affidavits, contended that the inven • tion, as far as it was practicable, had been in use prior to the obtaining of the patent, and that in the other parts it was too undefined to be ever susceptible of being re duced into practice, against both of which allegations there were several affidavits from lace-machine owners, lace manufacturers, and lace mechanics, &c. The case for the plaintiff had not concluded at the rising of the Court. VICE CHANCERI' COURT , Jan. 11. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor sat to-day in his Court at Westminster. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY U. GAMBLE AND NOTT. Mr. BETUELL renewed his motion to-day in this case on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Electric Telegraph Com pany, for an injunction to restrain the defendants, Messrs. Gamble and Nott, from pirating, as the plaintiffs alleged, a patent belonging to them for the construction of electric telegraphs. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the Court previous to the Christ mas recess, when we gave a short description of the facts. The case will doubtless occupy the Court for a day or two, if his Honour should t eAr the arguments on both sides. Mr. Bethell, Mr. Teed, and Mr. Heathfield are counsel fur the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Stuart and Mr. Crompton appear for the defendants. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) ER ALTS 7. KENSIT. This was a motion on the part of the plaintiffs for an injunction to restrain the dkfend:tnt from proceed ing upon a julgment which he had obtain,d against them. The Lcts were as follow:—The plaintiffs, who were extensive stockbrokers, carrying on business in the City intluced the defendant, a sol:citor of the ccurt, to invest in Cifvernment securities a sum of 28,395/. In 1838 the defendant obtained judgment .in the Court of Exchequer against the plaintiffs for that amount. In February, IS4I, the debt was reduced to 13,351/., and the plaintiffs gave two securities for 10,000/., as well as an assignment to the defendant of debts due to him, the former of which had been paid, and a portion of the latter, which reduced the debt to 2,0951. and for the discharge of which the plaintiffs agreed to pay 35/. a year each during their lifetime, and to make their effects liable for the payment of the same after their death. The defendant, in consequence of this ar rangement, 'agreed not to proceed with the judgment ; but he admitted in his answer that he applied to a com mon law court fir the issue of a scire facias on the judgment he had obtained for the sum originally due to him by the plaintifTh. _ _ Mr. Romms, who appeared in support of the motion, occupied the greater part of the thy in his address, and Ills HONOUR deferred judgrai , nt till he had read the answer. The remainder of the day was occupied in motirms no interest whatever. COURT OF QUERA'S BEACH, Jan. 11. '(Sittings in Banco.) This was the flr.t day in Hilary Term. Nrither the Judges nor the Queen's Counsel appeared, in this Court, in ‘, full bottomed" wins. Before the Judges took their seats on the bench,. the Attorney General, Sir Frederick Thesiger, and other Learned Gentlemt n entitled, by their position, to wear these flowing wigs, appeared in their places with them on ; but on being informed by Mr. Knowles, who appeared in the ordinary wig, that the Judges in the other Courts would not appear in full dress, they precipitately withdrew, and immediately after appeared in their ordinary costume. During the interval much merriment was caused by counsel in flowing wigs taking , their seats, and on receiving the intimation re ferred to, hurrying out, and re=appearing instantly shorn of very much of their " dignity." Till POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS N. Till CITARDI,INS OF THE POOR OF BRISTOL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, on behalf of the Poor-law Commissioners, for a rule, directed to the guardians of the poor of the city of Bristol, calling upon them to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued commanding them to furnish Mr. Alfred Whit taker, an auditor appointed by the Poor•law Commis sioners for the Somersetshire and Wiltshire districts, with an account in writing of all " money matters and things " expended by them for the maintenance of the poor for the half-year ending the 25th of March, 1844. The parishes of which the defendants were the guar dians, overseers, &c., were incorporated by an Act of Parliament entitled the 3i of George IV., c. 44, and they were invested with authority over the poor, and empowered to collect rates for their support. Last year the Poor-law Commissioners issued an order to them, amongst others, for the appointment of an auditor to the district. Mr. Whittaker was elected in the month /if October, the guardians and deputy guardians voting for him. In September he gave them notice that he should shortly attend for the purpose of auditing the accounts, but he was met by a resolution which the directors had passed, setting forth that the greatest pains had been taken by them to have the accounts properly audited, and that the intervention of the auditor would be wholly unnecessary. They also objected to increasing the rates by a salary to an auditor ; and finally came to the de termination not to submit their accounts to Mr. Whit taker until their liability to do so was declared by a competent tribunal. They grounded their non-liability on the 7 and 8 Victoria, sec. 32, c. 101, which autho rised the Poor-law Commissioners to combine parishes or unions together, and to form them into districts for the auOiting of their accounts by the proper officer. They contended that their district was not a parish or union within the meaning of that Act. Now he (the Attorney-General) held that the interpretation clause appended to the Act put an end to this objection, inas much as it stated that parishes or unions should be held to mean parishes or unions specified as such under any local Act.—Rule granted. THE QUEEN V. WATSON. This ease was tried in this Court during the last term, before the Lord Chief Justice. The defendant was in dicted for indecently assaulting a child, and for indecently exposing his person in a public place, the public place being Paddington Churchyard. He was found guilty of the indecent expoaure. The case was fully reported in The Son at the time. Sir F. TIIESIGER now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the defendant or in arrest of judgment. There were three counts, but the verdict of guilty, he understood, was only taken in the first, which stated that the defendant in an open and public place Lord DENmas—l understand the defendant is no in Court. Sir F. THESIGER —lle is under recognizances, my Lord. lam merely applying for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the defendant. If your Lordship thinks it would be more convenient to make my motion when the defendant comes up for judg ment, I will defer it until then. LORD DENMAN said that was the invariable rule. Tke matter then dropped. srms AND WIFE V. HENDERSON. This case was tried before Lord Denman at the last sittings after term, when a verdict was found for the plaintiffs for upwards of 10,0001. Mr. MARSTON now applied to have the verdict set aside, and, with the leave of the Learned Judge, to enter a nonsuit, and al-) to have the judgment arrested. The case arose out of certain proceedings in the Su preme Court of Newfoundland, which, it was contended, had exceeded its powers. - T - he COURT tool: time to consider the various objec Lions raised. COKE V. SIR - TOMKIN. This was tried before the Under-Sherriff in July last, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is the proprietor of the Oxford Chronicle, against the defendant, as one of the members of the provisional committee of the Oxford and High Wycombe Junction Railway, to recover the amount of a bill in curred by advertising the prospectus of the company in his newspaper. A rule was subsequently obtained in the Bail Court by Mr. Finn, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside on two grounds— first, that the advertisements must be taken on the credit of the solicitor of the company and not upon his prin ciPala, and secondly, that if they could not be taken Upon his credit, that his principals were the managing committee, and not the provisional committee, and that the defendant was not a member of the managing corn ,. mcamitteeeo,nbtof the provisional committee. The case now Mr. MA.y r :27 l . ra t * that if any evidenpc:e aPPeared for the plaintiff, admitted ihdoadthte-een adduced at the trial that the committee had 8 d had for the advertise ments, or that th e solicitor charged th e comm i ttee for them, or that th e d efendan t , rstooalincT the s o li c i tor, andtor, and th a t th e other me m b er of the committee, wer e li a b le to theo plaintiffs must con sequently look net to the committee, the objection would sessed some force; but it was wholly untenable,have atternptei - • raised at the last moment, wh en t h e plaintiffs to prove the liability of the provisional committee, and, therefore, that the att orne y was m agent, and could not be. h e ld - liable. Ageelv thsar a number of authorities in support of thi s view. qu oted was el ilence that the defendant gave his verbal consent to the placing of his name on the committee, that he attended its meetings, and that the newspapers containing the prospectus were at these , times lying on the table of the committee-room. The case was properly left to the jury by the Under -Sheriff. S. Mr. FINN contended, on the other hand, that there was . • no evidence adduced to show that the solicitor had re ceived orders from the committee. Such orders were .:. not usuglly,given by a solicitor, but by the secretary, ~,iihdkietlieliiinder the directions of,his Committee. He isi t• I. . uaktr, - authority to act in the way he did.

A provisional committeeman .- . rir --- "I ` , ty ~a-„c ~~~ - a THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1847. was simply a patron of a scheme, and not a person who took an active part in the management of its affairs. Although it was shown that the defendant did take his part in the management of the affairs of the company in its early stages, nothing of the kind was shown at the advanced period, when the debt was incurred. Lord DiNmAN said, it appeared that the plaintiff had notice that there was a managing committee, as the names of such a committee appeared on the face of the prospectus sent to him to print; they were struck out in order to save expense, perhaps. The COURT took time to consider the application, as it was possible they might be called upon to pronounce an opinion upon others of a similar nature during the term. The Court then rose. BAIL COURT, Jan. 11. Mr. Justice Erie took his seat in this Court this morn ing, at half-past nine o'clock. The business transacted was of no public importance. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 11. BEILBY V. SHEPHERD. _ In this cause, which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron at the sittings after last Michaelmas term, a ver dict was returned tor the defenda at, with liberty to move to enter the verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of 50/. The defendant was the master of a vessel named the Nisus, and was sailing from Ostend to Gainsborough. The plaintiff was a pilot licensed by the Trinity House at Hull, and ho had offered to pilot the ♦essel in ques tion, which the master, in violation of thepeneral Na vigation Act of the 6th of Geo. IV., chap. 125, had re fused, thereby rendering himself liable to the amount of the penalty named in the Act, to recover which the present action was brought. The point reserved at the trial was, whether the defendant was liable under the `oth section of the Act, which imposed a penalty of 50/., or under the 58th section, which fixed the penalty at a few shillings? The Learned Baron who tried the cause was of opinion that the master of the vessel was not liable under the 70th section of the Act. Mr. MARTIN now contended that the defendant was liable under both sections of the Act.—Judgment post poned. case for six weeks, or until such time as the lad Madden would be able to attend, intimating at the same time that he would take bail in the meantime for the prisoner's appearance. Solvent bail was at once tendered, and the prisoner was liberated. MARKET NE WS.--(Y ESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCIZANGE. The arrivals of English Wheat, up to our market last week, were on a very moderate scale, while those of all other grain of home produce, including Flour, were unusually small. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any corn came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Peas, were trifling ; but those of Oats, Beans, and Flour—the latter exceeding 23,000 barrels, chiefly from America—were moderately good. Fresh up coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, a fair average quantity of Wheat of home produce came to hand from Essex and gent ; but from the other home counties, the receipts of that article were trifling. The stands being scantily filled with samples, and the attendance of both town and country buyers good, the demand for English Wheat was firm, at an advance in the qnotations paid on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. This im provement was realized on Friday, consequently prices were not higher than on that day, and a total clearance was not effected. With free foreign Wheat we were scantily sup plied. All descriptions commanded a ready, but not to say brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from is to 2s per quarter from this day se'nnight. There was a very good demand for inferior foreign Wheats in bond for shipment to Ireland, at Is to 2s per quarter more money. Selected and middling qualities were not dearer, although a gcod business was transacted in them. The show of Barley, both English and foreign, but especially that of the former, was trifling. The malstere being in want of supply, the demand was active, at a further advance in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. Scarcely any Malt was on offer. Those parties in actual want were com pelled to give from is to 2s per quarter more money than last week. Several parcels were disposed of for forward de livery at that amount of improvement. The show of Oats was wholly inadequate to meet the demand, which was, in consequence active, at ls to 2s per quarter above last Mon day's figures. Very few Beans were on offer, owing to which holders refused to sell except at ls to 2s per quarter more money. All kinds of Peas moved off readily, at a rise of from is to 2s per quarter. Flour was in good request at the late advance in value. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt—Chevalier..

At the outports, about 200 Beasts and 600 Sheep have been landed from Holland, and 20 Oxen front Spain, in moderate condition. To-day we had on offer 20 Beasts and 80 Sheep from Holland and 2 Oxen from Spain, the whole of which found buyers at somewhat im proved currencies. With home-fed Beasts we were, the time of year considered, scantily supplied ; while the general quality of that description of stock was by no means first rate. The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was steady, and in some instances a trifle more money was obtained for the best Scots, Devons, and Herefords. At the clo se o f busi ness a good clearance had been effected. The arrivals from the northern districts comprised about 1,100 short-horns ; from the eastern counties, 300 Herefords, short-horns, and Scots; from the western and midland districts, 700 Here fords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds: the remainder of the supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were small, but of excellent quality. All breeds commanded a steady though not to say brisk de mand at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's prices. With Calves we were moderately supplied, while the Veal trade was steady, and previous rates well supported. There was more inquiry for Pigs, but in prices we have no alteration to report.

The past week's arrivals of the country-killed Meat up to these markets have been considerably on the increase ; while the supplies on offer slaughtered in tha metropolis have been seasonably good. Generally speaking, the demand has been in a very inactive state, and all kinds of bleat have sold on somewhat easier terms.

All other kinds are much neglected, though we cannot call them cheaper : Sussex pockets, 31 12s to 4/ Es; Weald of Kent pockets, 4/ to 418 s; Mid and East Kent pockets, 515 s to 6165. WOOL. On the whole more business has been doing in English Wools since this day se'nnight, and previous rates, owing chiefly to the limited supplies on offer, are well supported.

FIRE IN THE STRAND.—Yestreday, at about half past twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the prf , mises of Mr. Taylor, who carries on an extensive business as a printer, at No. 1, Pickett-place, Strand. Considerable alarm was created when the flames first burst forth, owing to the inflammable nature of the goods on the premises, chiefly consisting of books, papers, &c., and also from the fact of its being almost in con tact with the large printing establishment of Mr. Nex, which extends from the termination of Pickett-place nearly to Clement's-lane. Immediately after, the fire, which apparently commenced in the underground por tion of the buildings, had been discovered, messengers were dispatched to the different fire-engine stations, and several engines were speedily upon the spot. A plenti ful supply of water being obtained, at a quarter to two all danger of further extension was at au end. Consi derable damage, however, appears, we regret to say, to have been done to the furniture and stock in trade, both by removal and water. A large body of the F division of p dice were in attendance, and succeeded in keeping order, and driving back the immense number of persons who thronged round the premises. We read in a letter from Berne of the 4th : " Scarcely had the new Directory been installed in office, when its attention was excited by grave events in the canton of Fribourg. It will be remembered that about a month ago two popular assemblies were held at Murat, and that an address was voted to the Grand Council of Fribourg, demanding that the - Canton should cease to form part of the Ultra-Montane league. In order, however, to strengthen this application, a popular meeting was held soon afterwards at Esta voyer, the chief town of a district bordering on the Lake of Neufchatel, and another took place in the district of Gruyere. At both these m ee ti ngs resolutions were come to similar to those of Morat. The Council of State of Fribourg interfered to prevent further mani festations, and the Prefect of Estavoyer was ordered to arrest the two most influential members of the Li beral Committee, M. Fasel and M. Duruz, These arrests took place on the 31st ultimo, but they were no sooner known than the people rose, the tocsin was sounded, and several hundred men from the villages marched to Estavoyer, singing the Marseillaise. The insurgents demanded the release of the prisoners, and the prefect, taking alarm, set them at liberty. The Council pnrth ae sis s.l soino of n e S wr t hs a t e e th , o w hE h as e vt n ea v informed ne and a d opted f gr th e e a s t e e e v x e me n i t t ee s a , mn s se e n n ot.f t chief i said that tow n th eorfe thew a s Garuleierteingcoyuensttreyr,daayt whichat B u 1 1 i e t , theereois It was resolved to sort the de man d s o f the Liberals of i Estavoyer, and t is added that the Government of the canton de Vaud has given notice to th e G overnment of Fribourg, that if it attempts to send troops to put down the liberal manifestations, they will not be permitted to pass through the Vaud territory, without doing which they cannot get to Estavoyer. The affair is now before the Vorort, but as yet no decision has been come to as to the course to be pursued." COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.--The train which left Manchester on Tues day night last, at twenty minutes to six, ran into a lug gage train about two hundred yards from the Rochdale station, smashing one and damaging several other of the carriages. Several of the pasiengers were injured, and all of them much shaken, but none seriously hurt. The guard suffered the most injury. Mr. J ohn Bright w as one of the passengers in this train, which runs no fur r than Rochdale. It is supposed that the luggage train was too heavily laden to move on.—Leeds Mercury. THE BLACK WALL RAILWAY.--On Saturday, a notice was posted at Guildhall of the intention of the Blackwell Railway and Commercial RailwayCompry, to apply to Parliament to extend the railway into Crutehedfriars, Church-row, and London-street; to form a branch from the junction in Leman-street to the London docks, and alter the levels of the branch railroad t') the junction of the Eastern Counties Railroad at Bow; and ,a toa a l m te e r n t t h ei the present einsentto the gauge notwithstanding any Act oarli CONSERVANCY OF THE EIVER.—On Saturday a intention of was posted at Guildhall announcing the ot the Corporation of the City to apply to Parliament Courtfoleaver o f c to o n b s r e i r n i g a i n n e y a o ß f il th l t e r o i v e e x r, e o n v d e r the RiT w e e; o Thamesof th e s and power Aled so w ug ay ht fforormareSttoaipnuelsl down a a n i t i let dr t C. ehu r i F i e d k The powers bridges, he erect steam-boat and other piers, to cut canals, to deepen the rivers, and to erect or form, or license to be erected or formed, embankments, docks, harbours, jetties, and inflict penalties, to l ev y ren t s , t o ll s , and dutie s , an d to penalties, and do all acts which may tend to improve the navigation of the river; the said: Act to extinguish all efoxrnaistemrgArcigtsh,ts, customs,privile and gesa c n u d art cus ers to . ms, and to repeal all PERIODICAL LITERATURE. A correspondent of the Atheneum communicates some interesting statistics of the press of Italy. " A Turin paper," ho says, "entitled Il Mondo Illustrato, enume rate> the journals published in each state of Italy in the years 1836 and 1845, together with the population ; thus showing the advance which this branch of litera ture has made within the last nine years, and the pro portion of the population for each journal. The table is tie follows : Population 1836. 1815. to each Province of Lombard Journal. y Province of Venice 9 15 138,000 Sardinia Duchy of Modena, Modena, Lucca 11 13 74,000 Grand Duchy of Tuscany .. 14 16 80,000 The Pope's Dominions_ Kingdom of the Two bicilies 171 205 702,000 Taking this table as being some indication of the degree of mental progress in Italy, it will appear that the Pope's states have made a greater advance than any other por tion of the peninsula, whilst the Venetian states have made a retrograde movement—the first part of this state ment being, perhaps, almost contrary to expectation. But then we must not forget that the Pope's states em brace Bologna—almost the mo s t en li g h tene d an d inde pendent spirited portion of Italy. The Lombard pro vinces, though they have ma d e b ut a slight progress within the last nine years, are supplied with j ourna l s better, it seems, in relation to the population, than any other portion Italy ;and, indeed, any one coming from the south, and remaining some littl e ti me at Mil an, w ill perceive that he is amongst a p eop l e w i der awake, and more under the invigorating influences of northern civili sation. The worst supplied are the Sardinian states— then the Venetian—then the Neapolitan. Now, the first and last of these are completely under the dominion of the Jesuits ; and so severe i s th e censure of the press, especially in the kindom of th e T wo Si c i l i es, that it is diffieult to get anything i sanctioned f or pr i nt i ng or publi cation> What wonder s it, then, that a literary famine should be the consequence ? Besides those above men tioned, seventeen journals in th e It a li an l a n guage were published in 1836 in Lugano, Magliaso, Paris, Roveredo, Trieste, and Zara ; whilst, in 1845, ot h ers were pub lished in Malta-Fiume, Constantinople, Corfu, and Mon tevideo. Having thus disposed of Italy, the writer in Il Mondo Illustrato proceeds to give a statement of similar particulars with respect t o th e ot h er states o f E uro p e , and thus silently institutes a comparison between them and the Peninsula. Thus, adopting the same j arrange ment as in the other table, h e gives the number (f* jour nals in the first column, and the relative population for each journal in the second. Journals. Population Austria, including the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom German Confederation, Austrian and Prussian Depencies included 1,836 18,000 France Belgium Great Britain Russia 159 198,000 Numerically considered, then, France, Belgium, and the German provinces fare better supplied than Great Britain with periodicals, whilst Russia and the Austrian provinces are the worst supplied. This is, however, no proof that the periodical literature is less diffused in this country than in the others, with which it is compared above. Some of the foreign journals have but a very limited circulation; for instance, a particular journal at Bolagna has only 500 subscribers—and it is cited as a proof of the encouragement of periodical literature. Yet a political journal in London has its 20,000 pur chasers and upwards, and readers it is impossible to sly how many. The Hon. Miss Lister, sister of Lord Itibblesdale will be married in a few days to Mr. Maurice Drum mond, son of Charles Drummond, Esq , of Stratton street, Piccadilly. Orders were issued on Saturday from the Lord Chamberlain's office, directing all necessary preparations to be made for her Majesty opening the ensuing session of Parliament (on Tuesday, the 19th inst.) in person. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION. — A novel and interesting feature has lately been introduced into Trevethin Churcb, Monmouthshire. under the sanction' of the Bishop of the diocese. A baptistry, measuring efc. by 31t. 6in., and 4ft. deep, has been placed near the south door, wherein it is intended, should any person (and in this district there are many such), having conscientious objections to the sacrament of Eaptism by sprinkling, to perform it by immersion.—Hereford Journal. SHAMEFUL IMPOSTURE.—One day in the week pre • ceding the last, a fellow, whom our informant, a highly respectable citizen, says is a resident of Hereford, went to the house of Exell (the man who was sentenced to transportation on Tuesday last for stealing a sheep, the property of Lady Emily Foley), at Woolhope, and told his unfortunate wife that her husband had escaped from the county prison, and desired him to call upon her for his best suit, of clothes and five shillings.

CEARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A POLICE MAN.—HERTFORD, FRIDAY.— the death of a prisoner, named John Serle, in the county goal near this town, who in being captured received a serious cut from a cut lass used by Thomas Bygrave, one of the county police force, was the subject of a coroner's inquiry on the 6th inst. The evidence showed that the officer had exer cised much unnecessary violence towards the deceased. Earl) on the morning of the 22d ult. the deceased and his two sons were seen walking into the churchyard at Bishop's Stortford. They were carrying a sack, appa rently half filled with flour, and Bygrave and another constable followed them. On seeing the officers, they ran away, but on the policeman coming up to them, they attempted to resist being captured. Bygrave received a serious blow on the arm from a bludgeon, and the three again made off. The deceased, being a bulky man, could not make so hasty a retreat as his sons, and finding the police were upon him, he proceeded to make a more de termined resistance. Bygrave drew a cutlass, and, ac cording to his statement, intended to have struck him on the arm with it ; it however fell on his head, and in flicted a serious wound. He was removed to the county gaol, and died on the 3d inst. Mr. Davis described death to have been caused by erysipelas, which might hare oc curred without the!wound. Capt. Kelly, the superintendent of lh allowed ed police,to informed the coroner t h at t h e o ffi cers were not wear cutlasses ; th ey were ca ll e d i n a b out w emwonths ago. After some cons id era bl e di scuss i on t on the conduct of Bygrave, in the course of which the jury very much deprecated the way he had used the sword to the deceased, they worded their verdict to the effect that the deceased had died from ery s ip e l as , an d although it might be possible that it was induced by the blow inflicted, the medical testimony was not sufficiently strong to lead to the suspicion that th e di sease ent i re l y arose from the blow. If it had been such, it would have been their duty to send the constable for trial on a charge of manslaughter. The jury added that they were of opinion that he had displayed excessive zeal rather than want of duty. RECEPTION OF THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.—Mr. J. K. Walker, the private secretary of the President, ap peared at the entrance of the main aisle, and the door keeper announced " A Mes sage . f rom t h e P res id ent of the United States." Mr. Walker bowed, and when he had resumed bis upright position, said:— Mr. Speaker —I am directed by the President of the United States to deliver to the House a message in writing." Before the long and anxiously-looked-for document was conveyed to the table, and while on its way thither, there were cries of " Let's hear what he his to say about the war." "Go ahead with it." "Now for: the news." The clerk broke the envelope, and, 101 there was the Message. However, he preferred reading from a printed copy; and having previously turned over the pamphlet, to see i ts len g th, he proceeded to gratify the honourable asse mbla g e. A bundle of messages, fresh 'wa s placed en the c orner o f t h e c l er k' s a o b m le, immediately nearly all the members left their f t rt a h n e d press seats, and went in that direction to procure copies. Some of those who remained in their places cried out, " Bring me one ; two, if you choose. The Speaker rapped, and requested gentlemen to preserve order.—(How could they under the circumstances ?) The pages were seen u p some this way, boys," s a id one ; running over the hall w ith co p ies of the Message in their hands :—" Bring "furnish us first," remarked another. All being sup plied, tranquillity was restored, and gentlemen leaned backed in their seats to read the Message, keeping pace with the clerk. In the clause wherein the name of " Jackson" is mentioned as having said the wrongs of Mexico should no longer be endured, the clerk, by mis take, read "Jefferson," Half a-dozen corrected hi m by crying out'" Jackson," "Jackson said that." The clerk proceeded, and when ho came to that part about the permission granted to Santa Anna, by Commodore Con nor, to pass the blockade and go into Vera Cruz, there was suppressed laughter and cry of " Oh !" ' On Saturday ni g ht, at nine o'clock, a meeting of the Broad- s ilk Handloom Weavers Union of Spit a lfi e ld s was held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo Town, Betkeal• green, adjourned from that day three weeks, to consider the propriety of presenting a memorial to the Board of Trade in reference to the state of the silk trade, as dependent upon the various Acts which have been passed by the Legislature for its protection and otherwise, and also to receive a statement of the accounts for the last quarter.

HYMEN.—The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway is now opened throughout, and as it constitutes the route to the far-fenced Gretna, if the electric tele graph should be adopted by the directors on that line, elopements would become almost impracticable. What an enemy science is to romance and love ! And what a shame that young ladies who are kind enough to go a hundred miles out of their way to make a man happy, should, like mere price be thus snared and caught by wires ! To establish the telegraph in the south may be all well enough, but to carry it to Carlisle—the last stage to Gretna —the very vestibule to bliss— is an encroachment which ought never to be permitted. It would be directing the galvanic battery of science against the rarest temple Hymen has—it would destroy the little romance of life which still lingers in a manufacturing age, and would take away all the piquaaey of love's adventure.

In this cause Mr. MARTIN moved for a rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside and a verdict entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 211., or such sum us the Court might think fit. The action was brought to recover from the defendant, a member of the provisional com mittee of the Birmingham and Walsall Junction Railway, the sum of 211. paid by plaintiff as his deposit upon 20 shares in this company which had been allotted to him. Upon the trial the Lord Chief Baron was of opinion that the agreement to allot the shares should have been stamped, and the point was reserved for the considera tion of the Court, and the pluintiff was nonsnited, leave being given to move to enter the verdict according to the terms of the present motion. The Learned Gentleman now contended that this case was precisely similar to that of " Walstab v. Sputtiswoode," and acting upon the decision in that case, he apprehended that the plaintiff was entitled to recover back the money he hail paid, the defendant not having applied it for the purposes for which it was intended when paid by the piaintiff. lle was willing, however, to take a verdict fur the sum sought to be recovered, reduced by the sum of 2s. per share, allowed by the Joint Stock Companies Act to be retained on behalf of preliminary expenses. The Lora) Cluny. I;AnoN said that the diffe.rence be tween the present case and that of " Walstab v. Spottis woode" was this—in the latter case the plaintiff paid die money upon an agreement that scrip was to be received upon the payment of the deposit, and upon signing the deed, but there was no scrip issued by the company,. neither was there any deed prepared for the signature of the plaintiff, who was therefore fully entitled to recover back the amount of the deposit made upon the faith of such an agreement. In the present case the scrip was ready for delivery, but the plaintiff refused to accept it, and also neglected to sign the deed which heti been pre pared by the defendant. It was this that constituted the difforenee between the two cases, and it was this differ ence which led him to direct a nonsuit for the plaintiff as well as the point raised upon the necessity of stamp ing the agreement.—Eule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jsii. 11. DAVIS V. LOWNES. The only matter that came before the Court this morn ing was an application made by Mr. Sergeant Manning, to change the attorney to the defendant in this case, which was tried at bar the last sitting after term. The application was granted. The Court immediately after rose. COURT OF BANK'? UPC Y, Jan. 11. IN RE DONAGHUE. This insolvent, who had carried on business in Vere street, Clare-market, came up for his final order. Mr. DuNcAN opposed, on the gronnd that the insolvent had not properly described himself; and that his debts exceeded 3001 . The Learned Counsel then proceeded to examine the insolvent as to whether he had not taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act in 1339, which the in solvent admitted. He now petitioned in the name of John, but on passing through the Insolvent Court, he gave the name of " Jeremiah." On the present exami nation, he swore that he had never been known by any other name than "John" Donoghue. The Learned COMMIISSIONER said, the debts in the present schedule amoanted to 2461. 17s. 21, and unless those in the first schedule had been discharged, they must be added. The insolvent said, he had paid most of the money to his former creditors. The COMMISSIONER—Has the insolvent no solicitor here to advise him, he does not appear to know how he is answering. A solicitor said he appeared for the insolvent, and it was true most of the creditors had been paid, and re- ceipts had been taken, but were in possession of a party who was too ill to attend. The COMMISSIONER —Admitting that he has it, gives rise to the question, whether he can pay such creditors as he thinks fit. You may not know the effect of the Insolvent Act, but after he had signed the warrant o f attorney on' his discharge, all his property belonged to the official assignee, and if satisfaction was not entered up on the payments, they cannot be here admitted. Such payments are a fraud to other creditors. The insolvent declared he had not been sworn— although Mr. Duncan and the usher said he had. The Learned CommissioNßa—lf you were not s worn, you have told a simple falsehood to deceive me, at all events. I dismiss the petition. I ahall mark on it the reason that you petitioned in two different names. The insolvent's demeanour became insolent, and the Learned Commissioner told the usher to hand him out of Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Mr. Searle, landlord of the Salisbury Arms, Durham street, Strand, was summoned on Saturday for having refused to receive into his house two recruits who had been billeted on him. The complaint was made by a recruiting sergeant of a dragoon regiment, and Mrs. Searle attended, instead of her husband, and pleaded Guilty. Mrs. Searle said that neither her husband nor herself ever objected to admit soldiers with billets into their house, but rather than admit such persons as were sent to her in the present instance, she would pay a penalty of 201. Her house was usually frequented by very re• spectable persons, in addition to which she had to com plain that her neighbours in the same business were not subject to similar annoyances, for the landlord of the Cock and Bottle, she knew, had not had a billet for a considerable period. Inspector Stephens said the landlord of that house was a free vintner, and as such was entitled to ex emption. Mr. HENRY said he must inflict a penalty of 40s. Mrs. Searle paid the penalty, and left the court de claring that she would always refuse to admit such dirty, ragged objects as the recruits into her house. Sewall Bowden was charged before Mr. Hall with being disguised in men's clothes, and being drunk and disorderly, in the Strand, at a late hour on Sunday night. The prisoner, who wore a coarse heavy great coat, corderoy trousers, and checked shirt, all of which were much too big for her, seemed much confused, and heartily ashamed of herself. Her hair, which was fas tened in a knot at the back of her head, and dressed plainly in front, formed an odd contrast to the male attire, and her whole appearance as, overwhelmed with embarsassment she leaned on the rail of the dock, holding her hand, and looking at it as if she could not tell what to do with it, was at the same time pitiable and ludicrous. Policeman F3O said that he saw the prisoner in the Strand on Sunday night with two men and some women. She was drunk, screaming, shouting, and laughing. He told her to be quiet and she would not, and as he knew at once that she was a woman, he took her in custody. The prisoner said she was very sorry. The clothes were her brother's, and she " only put them on last night." Her brother was a blacksmith. Mr. HALL—And I dare say a respectable man. How will he like this, do you suppose? It is not at all the conduct of a decent woman. I hope, however, that it will not occur again. You may go now. The prisoner made a compromise between a bow and a curtsey, and left the doJk. CLERKENWELL. A very respectable-looking man,: whose name and address appeared on the police-sheet as Abraham Matthews, of N. 1, Park lane, was placed at the bar before Mr. Greenwood, charged with being drunk, and having driven a horse and gig so furiously and reck lessly along Gray's Inn-road, as to inflict serious injuries upon a boy about nine years of age, named Thomas Madden. It appeared, from the evidence of the injured child's brother and mother, as well as that of the police, that the prisoner was observed coming at a rapid pace from the direction of King's cross on Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, and the mother of the boy, who, accord ing to her own admission, at the time was partly intoxi cated, was leading him and his brother by the hand across the street nearly opposite to the Royal Free near y : th u e t Hospital, when the prisoner approached. Seeing the wards danger, Thomas Madden attempted to get out of the but, before he could do so, the wheel caught him shoulder,rolled ethrew him,! m whereby h e forwards, waese d r e a a n d d . to St. Bartholom ew's after had proceeded uew fully injured as to r en der necessary his immediate re moval's Hospital.
