LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S. BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lord Cample6ll, Jaatiois Coleridge, Wightman, and Erle.) • MTV; O. MINZIIB. Mr. Montagne Smith, Q.C., moved in this case, pursuant to leave, for a new rule, to show cause why the verdict found for the plaintiff should not be set aside and entered for the defendant, or that a new trial be had. The action, which was tried before Lord Campbell at the sittings after last term, was brought by the plaintiff', the well known patent brandy manufacturer, for the in fringement of a patent obtained by him in 1843 for the use and manufacture of dutch metal., lead and tin, by means of compression into foil, for the purpose of manu facturing capsules, for casing bottles and other vessels. The ground upon which the learned counsel moved the rule was, that the invention of the plaintiff was not new, but essentially the lame as that of one Dobbs, who obtained a patent for the admixture of metal in 1804, and, therefore, no novelty ; and also on the ground of misdirection. At the trial it was shown that the plain tiff had never seen or knew of the invention or patent of Dobbs. The Court granted a rule to show CAW° on the points of law, it being admitted that the verdict as to the in fringement wa■ correct. LE NEVE V. THE VESTRY OE THE HAMLET OF MILE-END OLD TOWN• Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., with Mr. R. P. Collier, M.P., moved for a rule visa, to met aside the ♦erdict found for the plaintiff, and that it be entered for the defendant. The action, which was tried before Mr. Justice Wight. man at the sittings after last term, was brought by tLe plaintiff, the proprietor of the Bail Grey Tavern, Mile. end-road, for trespass and the illegal pulling down of a certain building or shed in front of the plaintiff's pre mises. The defendants justified their right to pull down the building under tke 12011 sec. of the 18th and 19th Vict., cap. 120—the Metropolitan Local Management Act. The Court grantad a rule to show CAUSE. BLACKMORE V. THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, on behalf of herself and children, against the company, under Lord Campbell's Act, for compensation for injuries sus. tained by one John Blackmore, the husband of the plaintiff, by which he was killed, owing to the alleged negligence of the company, through the breaking of a crane provided by the company for the unloading heavy good!. The case was tried at Bristol, when Mr. Justice Coleridge, who tried the case, directed a non-suit to be returned, because deceased volunteered his P erviee 8, and with leave to move to enter a verdict for 2501. Mr. Phino, Q C., accordingly moved to-Jay, en the ground that the company was liable. Rule granted. Mr. Burcham, charged with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mrs. Isabella Gibbs, No. 2, Little Ryder-street, St. James's, and stealing therefrom a quantity of silver plate of the value of 121. Police-constable 111 C stated that about a quarter past five this morniag he was passing along Little Ryder street, and when he had got about ten yards from No. 2, he heard a noise as if some person was trying the lock of the door. He at once turned back, and saw the prisoner let himself out of No. 2, and run away in the direction of Bennet-street. He ran after him, and caught him in Bury-street, and collared him, and said be wanted him to go back with him to Ryder-street. The prisoner refused, and wanted to know what he wanted with him, as he bad only just come from 'Westminster Witness told him what he wanted him for, when he denied even going into any house at all, or coming out of one. He then took him back to No. 2, Ryder-street, and knocked at the door. A woman opened the door, and let him in, and in the passage, behind the door, he found the basket of plate produced. On searching the prisoner a latch-key and a pocket-book was found upon him, and in the area of No. 10, close by where be stopped bim, a roll of wax taper was found. The prisoner was then conveyed to the station-house. The prosecutrix stated that sbe retired to rest at about half-past eleven last night, at which time all was safe. At one o'clock, a gentleman, one of the lodgers came in, and secured the door after bino. At five this morning she was awoke by a man, and on waking up, saw the bask of a man standing near a chest of drawers, on which stood the basket of plate produced. She immediately got up, and the man rushed out of the room, and down stairs, out of the front door into the street. She followed as quickly as she could, and called out " Police." A constable stopped the prisoner and brought him back. She was confident be was the man, as she saw his face by the gas-lamp on the door. The basket contained 22 silver spoons, 2 salt cellars, 2 cream ewers, and other articles of the value of 121. The prisoner, who deaied the charge, was remanded for a week.

Within the same period a liberal bonus upon policies of three or more years' standing has been dech , red and paid ; and, in addition to the discharge of claims from deaths, of working expenses and collateral chat ges, the general assets of the society have been augmented by be tween fifty and sixty thousand pounds, the bulk of which has been invested in the names of the society's trustees in the Public Funds. Influenced by such evidences of pro sperity, the directors of the 'Gresham' thus prominently draw the attention of the general meeting an 1 the public to the successful results that have been achieved. "In order to transact, however, with the necessary facility, a business so great and so rapidly progressing, it became necessary, as stated in last year's report, either to enlarge the society's present offices, by embracing the option presented to the directors of including the adjoin ing premiers, or to erect a new building. Having decided on the former course, as not involving a removal from the original place of business, and as entailing expense in a less onerous form than the immediate purchase of a new site and erection of a new building might have necessitated the directors have new to report that the enlargement of the premises has been effected, without stopping the current business even for a single day, and procured for the Gre sham, at a comparatively moderate cost, as commanding, and commodious offices for the transaction of business as any Assurance Society can desire. To show the general effect to parties residing at a distance, and how readily the enlargement has been male to tako the appearance of a uniform building, the directors have caused a lithographic sketch to be prepared, which they propose to issue with the present report. "An incidental feature of the year has been the prepa ration of the supplementary notices, now ready, of bonus additions due upon policies upon which less than three an nual payments had been made at the declaration of 13)5, the deed of settlement requiring a defined period to elapse before the actual distribution upon such recent policies could take place. The directors believe that the bonuses upon such policies will be found to have been adjusted with the same care and attention as upon policies of a's earlier date. " The proposals offered during the past year have in cluded, as heretofore, both first-class lives and those only incurable at increased rates, or, as they have been termed, Declined Lives.' The bulk of .the business, however, actually transacted has been with the first-class, the total number of proposals offered exceeding, it will be seen, by no less than 522, the number finally completed. " The accounts of the year have been already printed an 1 circulatel, as required by the deed of settlement, among the shareholders, and having been carefully com pared with the books and vouchers by the auditors, and re ported correct, are now submitted for approval and adop tion. " Tho list of directors recommended by the board for election, are the retiring directors, Messrs. Edward Solly, William Tabor, and William Henry Thornthwaite, who aro re-eligible, and again offer themselves for electi , n. " The auditors, in conformity with the deed of settle ment, retire at the close of the year, but being re-eligible, again offer themselves for election for the onsning year— viz. Messrs. Ladhury and Whitelock, on behalf of the shareholders ; and Messrs. George Lowe, F.R.S., and William Webb Venn, for the policy-holders. "The directors having thus recited the general nature of the business, in connection with which the meeting has been convened, have only to reiterate the resolve of the board, to extend, by every means in their power, the gene ral business of the society, and to justify and invite, by their zeal and earnestness in its affairs, a continuance on the part of the public of that confidence with which the Gresham' has throughout been so largely favoured." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he need detain the meeting but for a very shoat time while be performed so pleasing a duty. Like former reports, the present one showed that prosperity con tinued to crown the efforts of the directors ; and, ai the document entered so fully into the affairs of the com pany, ho felt there was really nothing for him to say He would therefore simply move "that the report juEt read be received and adopted." Mr. LLOYD briefly seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. Mr. TYLER moved the next resolution, viz.—" That the retiring directors, Messrs. Edward Say, William Tabor, and William Henry Thornthwaite, be re-elected. The motion having been seconded, it was put to the meeting by Mr. Beadnell, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on behalf of his brother directors, and assured the meeting that their utmost energy would always be devoted to further the objects of the society. Mr. Devise moved a vote of thanks to the auditors, and that a sum of 50 guineas be added thereto.—Carried unanimously. Mr. TYLER moved the following resolution :—" That G. H. Ladbury and William Whitsiock, E cis , be elected auditors on the part of the shareholders, and that George Lowe, F.R.S., and W;lliam Webb Venn, be elected auditors on the part of the pulley hol d ers." Mr. KING said it afforded him great pluasnra to second the motion of Mr. Tyler. The resolution was agreed to unanimou.3ly. Thanks having been voted to the actuary (E. J. Farren, Esq ), the solicitor (T. H. Devonshire, Esq.), and the other officers of the society, the proceedings, which had throughout been marked by the utmost cor diality, terminated.

This was an interpleader action to try the validity of certain household goods, &a. The plaintiff is a t iilor and stationer, rewiding at Strat ford, Essex, and the defendant is a milkman. In Maroh, 1855, a butcher, named French, residing in Whiteoross street, brother-in-law of the plaintiff owed 701. for rent. On the 26th of October a distress was put in, and the gouda were condemned in 791. 2e. 6 , 1. On the 6th of November the plaintiff purchased the goods, leaving them in French's possession for the use of himself and family. After that French was in want of money, and plaintiff permitted him to sell a portion of the goods and apply the proceeds to his own use. In August last the defendant issued an ex lcution against French, who owed him money, which was met by the plaintiff's claim. Mr. Saxton, for the defendant, submitted that under the recent Bill of Sales Act, the sada was a transfer of property requiring registration within 21dar, in default of which it was veil or against the execution creditor. The learned Judge, atter consulting the otber judges, stated his opinion that the registration of such sales was not required under the act. The defence was that the whole was a colourable trans• action between the parties to defeat the defendant's exe- catior. The jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ;Sittings in Banco—Before the Lord Chief Baron, Barone Bramwell, Watson, and Chymell ) VASS V. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. H. Hill, Q.C., moved for a rule to set aside the verdict found for the plaintiff in this case, on the ground that the company had is•ued defective rules to their servants. The action was tried before Mr. Baron Watson at the last assizes at Liverpool. The deceased was in the service of the company, and at the time of his death was employed in repairng► the buffer of an engine. At the station at which he was employed there was a junction of the East Lancashire Railway, and also a siding for goods trains, and on their arrival certain signals, by the ringing of a bell, were to be given to the pointsman. While the deceased was at work, between the carriage and engine he was repair. log, a train arrived and the signals were given, but could not be heard by the deceased, and the consequence was that the train ran into the siding, over threw the carriage which had not been cleared away, and killed the deceased. Rule granted on the point of defective rules. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY' DT A SERVANT.

ANNUAL MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The ninth annual general meeting of the Gresham Life Assurance Society was held this afternoon, at the offices, 37, Old Jewry, for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors on the results of the financial year just closed, in conformity with the deed of settle. ment of the society. The chair was occupied by William Tabor, E3q. The routine business having been transacted, The CHAIRMAN called upon the S.cretary to read the report, wbich was as follows -- "The following statement is submitted by the directors as their report to the general meeting of the results of the ninth financial year, ending July 31st, 1557, in confor mity with the rules and regulations of the deed of settle ment. " The new policies effected, exclusive of annuities, have been 1,465 in number, assuring 761,0321., en 1 yielding 2 1,748/. 183. 9d. as the amount of new premiums for the year. The proposals offered amounted to 1,987 in number. The policies, on the books generally, at the end of the year were, 4,192; and the income from premiums, 68,032/. 17s. 3d. The claims in respect of deaths paid during the year amounted to 21,151/. 1 's. 7d. The chief elements of the society's progress during the last nine years are offurod for comparison in the following list : THE MILITIA. The South Devon Militia will be embodied at Plymouth on the 10th init., undeithe command of Lient.-Cul. Sir John Yarde Buller. This regiment, which is to proceed to Waterford immediately, was employed on garrison duty dnrirg the who!e period of the last war. The prevent strength is 840 of all ranks. The Shropshire Regiment of Militia, under the command of Colonel Hill, were embodied for per manent service on Monday, 2d November, at Shrewsbury. Notwithstanding the numbers en titled to their discharge after having been for five years enrolled, the present strength of the regiment is upwards of 700, and of these nearly 551.1 answered to their names on the day of embodiment. Recruit ing to complete the quota for the county is proceod ing rapidly ; within the last few mouths upwards et 350 recruits were rased-20 were attested on Mi•nday, and 14 on Tuesday, so that the ranks will soon be full. The men joined with evident alacrity, and presented a steady and creditable appearance. The regiment is destined for service in fridand. THE LEVIATHAN STEAM-SHIP. A very general impression seemed to prevail among the visitors to the attempted launch of Tuesday that the efforts to get the vessel off would be renewed with success in the course of yesterday. Notwi hstanding the rain, therefore, which fell with unmitigated severity throughout the day, a number of persons proceeded to the building yaid ; but it is almost needless to say that, beyond seeing the gigantic vessel, which, high in the air, loomed like a dark cloud in the thick mist, nothing was doing to repay the toil of a visit to Millwall. Ex cept where some of the unfinished saloons have been converted into joiners' shops for the purpose of proceeding more rapidly with the internal fittings of the cabins, no work was going forward on the vessel. All around her was still and silent, and gave a most desolate aspect to a scene formerly always so resonant with the noise and bustle occa sioned by the toil of nearly 2,000 men. After it was determined to cease all further efforts to effect the launch on Tuesday the workmen were employed throughout the night in taking pro per precautions to secure the vessel in the position in which she at present rests. For this purpose powerful timber shores were fixed under her stem and stern bayou d where the cradles support her, and the massive check tackle which secures her on the side towards the land bas also been hauled taut, so that, as far as human ingenuity can foresee, there is no mechanical possibility of her now slipping and launching herself without notice. As might have been antie'patesl, the most vague and contradictory rumours are afloat as to the cause which led to Tdesday's failure. Only two of these are sufficiently probable to demand notice. The first states that, in consequence of the immense pressure and friction, the iron transverse bars which cross the bottom of the cradles have cut into the railway metals, and so fixed the whole tha t t it will be immovable unless the entire vessel can be raised up from the launching ways and started afresh. For this report we are glad to say the re sult of a close inspection of the bars leaves 'no foundation. In fact, the friction, considering the amount of pressure on the cradles and bars, seems to have been marvellously slight. The second report avers most positively that the launch ing ways themselves have settled down under the weight of the ship's stern, and fixed it as it were in a hole. This also is incorrect, for the ways remain as firm and rigid as on the first day of their construc tion, and up to the present they have received no cause to be otherwise, since the vessel is still in its original foundations. But the ways have been so constructed as to allow for a sinking. Each " way" of 120 feet wide is formed by three spans of 40 feet each—the spans resting each upon rows of piles, and rising in the centre 1/ iu., so that a considerable depression is provided against. The real cause of the failure on Tuesday was the accident which took place at the windlass, and which made the whole mass of workmen so timid and suspicious that it was actually unsafe to intrust them with the execution of details which pre-eminently demanded coolness and judgment. From the same timidity also, and from prudential motives, it was considered better after the accident to remove the men from the barges which wore moored in the river, and worked the hauling tackle upon the muiships of the vessel. These four barges were capable of ap plying a downward strain on the Leviathan of 250 tons, which strain was chiefly depended upon to move her in the case of the hitch which did take place. When the second attempt was made with out the aid of these barges an undue strain came upon the chains which, fastened at the bow and stern, pulled towards the river, and a t l as t the former broke. This, coupled with the accident to the pin of the hydraulic press, stopped the launch. e The Leviathan at present rests exactly six inches lower than formerly, and, taking the mean of her progress fora and aft, about four feet down the launching ways. Acco r di ng to the incline of these ways, the actual lowering of the vessel since she moved is only fo ur inches, but when the cr a dl es were fixed Tinder her and,th e last supports removed she settled down two inches mthe cradles themselves. .From the level s t a k en i t appears that the deflection in the whole length of the ship since she was left to support herself in the two cradles is so slight as to be almost imperceptible. From the forward cradle to the bows th e d e fl ect i on i s some fract i ona l par t of aninch ; between the two cradles amidships none whatever is perceptible ; and from the aftermost cradle to the sternpost, where more than 200 feet of I the heaviest parts of the vessel hang entirely with out support from the ground, the deflection t. half an inch. From the deck the nearly 700 feet, e is n ol e lit stem t t o h s a t t e t r h n e , deflection . arrangements for finail la7uninnchh flvroembes jog the colossal structure on the 2d Dec , y differ in any essential particular from th wi ll neth i3 o o d b pursued on Tuesday last, but we can speak more positively as to this in the course o f another day , During yesterday Mr. Brunel and the great ship' s . great captain, the most indefatigable and zealous of all commanders (Captain Harrison), were down at Millwall, inspecting the ship, and ascertained that she was neither strained nor twisted even to the extent of the moat fractional portion of an inch. The men injured by the accident at the windlass are all progressing slowly, though still no hope exists of the recovery of Donovan, and Stacey re mains in a precarious state, Some idea of the fright ful violence with which these men were struck may be formed from the fact that one of the massive handles of the windlass, of solid iron 1 3 / 4 inches in diameter, which struck the men, is bent and twisted as if it was formed of lead. DEATB OF MR. MACKAY THE "BAILIE NIOOI .lARVIE" OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. The public will learn with regret the death of Mr. Mackay, the only great Scottish actor, which took place about noon on Monday, at his residence in Edinburgh. Mr. Mackay was in his 71st year, hav ing been born in the High-street of E iinburgh, in October, 1787. He left that city for Glasgow when only nine years of age; but long afterwards, when a claim was set up for him as a genuine son of St. Mungo, he hastened to refute the calumny, making affidavit before a justice of the peace that he was "a real Edinburgh gutter bluid." He finally returned to his native city about the end of 1818, and took the leading Scotch parts in the series of playa from the Waverley Novels, on which his fame chiefly rests. Some years ago, when fulfilling an engage.. ment at the Adelphi Theatre, he had a shock of paralysis, and from that time till his lamented de cease, though still. able to go about, he could not trust himself again upon the stage. It was in the impersonation of the characters of Sir Walter Scott that Mr. Mackay chiefly excelled, and the opitaionef Sir Walter of him in thess is, per haps, the greatest tribute that could be paid to his talent. Speaking of his performance of Bailie Nicol Jarvie, in " Rob Roy," be said—" One would think the part wade for him, and him for the part." Some two or three years afterwards, on Mr. Mac kay's visit to London, we find the author of Wa verley writing to Mrs. Joanna Baillie, regarding his appearance in "Rub Roy." "He is completely the personage of the drama— the purse-proud conse quential magistrate, humane and irritable in the same moment, and the true Scotsman in every turn of thought and action. In short, I never saw a part batter sustained." "The English," he also wrote to Lord Montagu, " will not enjoy it, for it is not broad enough or sufficieutly carica tured for their apprehensions, but to a Scotsman it is inimitable." And again, as to his friend Terry, Scott wrote—" The man who played the Bailie made a piece of acting equal to whatever has been seta in the profession. For my own part, I was actually electrified by the truth, spirit, and humour he threw into the part ; it was the living Nieol Jarvie; conceited, pragmatical, cautious, generous, proud of his connection with Rob Roy, frightened for him at the same time, and yet extremely desir ous to interfere with him as an adviser. The tone in which he seemed to give him up for a lost man, after having provoked him into some burst of High land violence, Ah ! Rab ! Rala !' was quite inimi table. I do assure you I never saw a thing better played," The opinion of Sir Walter, however, was net confined merely to private life. On the night of Feb. 23, 1827, Sir Walter avowed the authorship of the Waverloy Novels. Toe occasion was the festi val of the Edinburgh Dramatic Fund; and after the memorable admission he craved a bumper in the following terms : " I would fain dedicate a bumper to the health of one who has represented several of those cha racrers of which I bad endeavoured to give the skeleton with a truth and liveliness for which I may well be grateful ; I beg leave to propose the health of my friend Bailie Nicol Jarvis; and I am sure that when the author of Waverley and Rob Roy drinks to Nicol Jarvie, it will be received with the just applause to which that gentleman has always been accustomed—nay, that you will take care that on the present occasion it shall be PRO-DI-GI-OUS." " Mr. Mackay—' My conscience My worthy father the deacon could never have telieved that his sou would bat sic a compliment paid to him by the Great Unknown 1" " Sir Walter Scott — Mr. Baili3.'" ,‘ The Small Known now, Amidst the affliction and distress of his after years Sir W. Scott, says his biographer, derived pleasure from his own cre ttions as reflected in the acting of Mr. Mackay. "He dwelt with extreme delight," writes a visitor to Abbotsford at that time, " up in Mackay's performance of the Bail;e and Dominie Sampson, and appeared to taste them with all the fresh and disinterested enjoyment of a common spectator." In private life Mr. Mackay was highly esteemed by a numerous circle. Ho had a fund of, queer stories, which he used to narrate with such humour is made him a treasured guest. In his death Scotland has lost her greatest, if not our only national actor, for on no one of his succes sors in the samo parts has his mantle fallen. His acting was the true and living expression of Scottish life and character, blending its dry, caustic humour and heart-moving pathos with the skill of a master. He was rich in the homely phrase of native dialect, which in its Doric purity hadquite a charm as it fell from his lips. Mr. Mackay has left two sons, one of whom has adopted his fatter's profession.
