ARTISTS, PICTURE DEALERS, and others, are in. formed that a New and Miniature Work is now pub• lishing, containing Drawings of Fifty Picture Frames, ma• nufactured in BIELEFELD'S PAPIER NIACHE, fron some of the finest Carvings of the seventeenth century They are clearly drawn, on a very small scale, upon thir tinted paper, and can be forwarded by post, upon the receipt of six Postoffice Stamps ; the prices and dimensions an attached, and the Frames can be had either in plain Oak any Gold, or Gilt. There is a number to eaBh, by which an order may be sent from any_part of the country. " The Frames of M. Bielefeld present the best charac teristics of fine carving; the course of the chisel, though subdued, is everywhere apparent, and the liberal resort to undercutting, and occasional nearly alto-relief, realize the peculiar finesse and spirit of the best manipnlists among the old carvers in wood, substituting for the dull, prim, and me chanical mediocrity of works in putty composition, an easy, liberal, and artistic dexterity in the execution, which must be appreciated by every lover of the excellent. They may be recommended also on other grounds ; when conveyed from place to place, (to provincial exhibitions, for example,) they are liable to no injury from chipping, as the common Frames are. An essential advantage also is, that these Frames weigh no more than half the weight of the usual Frames of the same size. We strongly urge upon Artists to visit this Esta blishment, and examine for themselves."—Art Union. "The Frames for Pictures and Chimney Glasses are of the most elaborate workmanship ; one that we saw, 7 feet by . 5 feet, was adorned with foliage of the most beautiful desertept; specimen of with cupids in alto-relievo, copied from a fine pe em of old oak carving."—Civil .Engineer and Archilecte Journal.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT..-SATURIM.Y. (Before Sir .1. Wigram.) SUISSE V. LORD LOWTHER His Honour delivered judgment in this case. The late 111ar ycqeuhdeeswt was specially wt the quis of Hertford had made 19 codicils to his will, under eight Theon hc l li classed t t h li e e rn p a s l m a e i re n ,d. t a i ;l f c sn l a theoimf e theodt h legacies d ca orq i i si n six of w she was . which had been a rgued before the court was, wheth er th e legacy of half of the sum of £ 16 ,00 0 , given by the l ast codicil as a provision for the servants, was a legacy in ad dition to the former bequests to the plaintiff, or whether it was in substitute of such preceding legacies. The first co dicil under which the plaintiff claimed contained a gift to the servants generally of two years wages, and to those who had lived with the testator while he was Lord Yarmouth three years' wages. The next of the codicils in question gave the servants who had lived with the testator three years three years' wages and board wages, and one year's wages to those who bad lived with him one year. The presumption would be, that this legacy was additional; but the court was not left to presumption, for the testator had expressly said that all the bequests by this codicill were to be in addition to what had been previously given. The third codicil gave to Nicho las Suisse, the plaintiff, if he was living;pith the testator at the time of his death, £l,OOO over and above any other be quests. On this, therefore, there was no question. In the. fourth codicil, £2,000 is bequeathed to the plaintiff, and this again is expressly stated to be over and above the pre ceding legacies. The next codicil had been a subject of argument, the sum which it purported to bequeath being the same as the amount of the two legacies which had gone before—namely, £3,000. It was said that this must be taken as a mere substitution for them ; but this codicil also con tained this expression, " I give these legacies in addition to what I have in most instances given to the same persons by other codicils." These words applied as well to the legacy to Suisse as to those given to other persons by the same instrument, and the Court must hold the legacy in question to be cumulative. The sixth codicil under which the plaintiff claimed gave him a legacy of £2,600, which also was distinctly stated to be above all other bequests. The seventh codicil again contained the words "independent of, and in addition to, all other legacies to Suisse, £2,000, for continued good services." There was no question that the £2,000 given by that codicil was cumulative. The whole of the sums given by these codicils amounted to about £10,600; and the entire question then was, whether the £BOOO bequeathed to Suisse by the last codicil was intended as a substitution for the £10,600 previously given. It was less beneficial to the lega tee than the gifts in the preceding instruments ; the presump tion, therefore, would be in favour of the legatee, and against the construction which would hold the legacy to be substitu tional. The expressed intention to provide for the servants appearing in the last codicil had been dwelt upon with refer ence to the principle of the court, which was against double provisions or double portions: that doctrine, however, did not apply in the case of strangers ; it was applicable only to bequests to persons as to whom a testator stood in loco pa rentis. With regard to strangers, as there was no reason, in a legal point of view, why the testator should give them anything by his will, so there was no reason why the court should raise any presumption to limit the amount of his bounty. Throughout the whole of the codicils, the testator had gone on diminishing the amount of the benefit given to those who had natural claims upon him by increasing the amount of his gifts to other persons, and there was no prin ciple on which the court could bold that these legacies to the plaintiff were not cumulative. The executors having admit ted assets, the decree must be made for payment. rOsop":_ti744 --T --- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS..--SATURDAY (London Sittings at Nisi Pri Specins, before or Ld Chief Justice TINDAL i n s, b Juries.) MOORE, CLERK, v. DRUMMOND, CLERK. This was an action of slander. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and another learned gentleman conducted the piaintiff's case ; Sir T. Wilde and Mr. Creesy appeared for the defendant. The circumstance which gave rise to this action made, at the time they occurred. considerable noise in the world, and were fully published in all the public journals. They were as follows: — The plaintiff is the Rev. William Carter Moore. 8.A., the curate of St. Peter's and St. Mary's, at Boston, in Lincoln shire ; and the defendant is also a clergyman, and the in. cumbent of the Chapel Roya l, Prince's-Place, Brighton. On Saturday, July 30, in last year, the plaintiff, accompanied by his son, a member of St. John's, College, Cambridge, went to Brighton for the recovery of his health ; and on Sunday morning, the 31st, the plaintiff and his son, being then en- tire strangers to the defendant, entered the Chapel Royal, in Prince's-place, just as the Litany was concluded, they having been detained until that time at the baths. At the close of the sermon the defendant said—" My dear friends, I know it is not usual to address you after the sermon, but Ibeg to inform you that there are two notorious pickpockets b in the congregation, and therefore be careful." That announce ment turned the eyes of the congregation to the strangers, who had before attracted some atten tion by coming late into church ; considerable confusion ensued, and the plaintiff and his son were followed from the chapel by a crowd of persons. Upon inquiring the cause of the assemblage, they were in formed that they were the persons against whom the defend ant had cautioned his congregatiop. Sir Thomas Wilde addressed the jury for the defendant, and contended that this action ought n ot to have been brought—inasmuch as the defendant, as soon as be disco vered he had made a mistake in respect of the persons whom he considered the plaintiff and his son to be, wrote a letter to the plaintiff, expressing in the strongest terms his regret that the circumstance had occurred, and stating the manner in which it had happened—viz., that shortly before the plaintiff a d n r d iv h e i n s fsronnmenctehrreisdttchehcuhreuhrc, they church, einy havingformation had been received by the defendant that two notoriou s p ickpockets had been come there in a fly, and that they had afterwards gone to several other chapels in Brighton. That the close arrival of the plaintiff and his son led him to believe they were the parties, and to make the address to his audience, which had given rise to these pro ceedings. The Lord Chief Justice having summed up, the jury re tired, and, after having been absent for some time, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 405. REFUSAL OF PROTECTION TO AN INSOLVENT. —OnThu gr rs day last, Joseph Schofield Shaw , formerly a ocer, drugg aP ist, and porter dealer, at Ashton , but now living at Oldham. plied for protection under the new insolvent debtors' act. It appeared that he had taken the benefit of the insolvent act in July, 1842, when his debts amounted to £5,000 and upwards; having previously compounded with his creditors, when he owed about £1,200; and his present debts amoun ted to £267. It was also discovered that he had secreted some property, and his schedule was very artfully drawn up, with the view of concealing the real state of his affairs. — Mr. Commissioner Jemmett severely reprimanded the in solvent, declared him' not to be entitled to the benefit of the act, and refused to grant the final order for protection.—We understan that thi is the rst case at this court, where the final order d has been refused. fi —M a nchester Guardian. ---........---.----"" RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY, —The thirteenth half yearly d of R o X t h s2 e - meeting of the proprietors of the North Midland RailNaF was held on Friday at the station at Leeds.
