SUDDEN DEATH OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE I TINDAL, It is with feelings of the most unmitigated regret we have to announce the melancholy fact of the sudden de mise of that excellent and universally-esteemed lawyer, Sir Nicholas Conyngham Tindal, Knt., many years Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, which event took place at Folkstone, on Tuesday night, at half-past seven o'clock, in the presence of his son, Captain Tin Pennit,.

In the former year he was eighth wran gler and senior Chancellor's medal-list. In the month of October, 1801, he was elected a fellow of his college, and taking his master's degree, he became a student of Lin coln's-inn, by which society he was eventually called to the bar. His connexion with Lincoln's-inn probably gave rise to the common error that he nad been a Chancery barrister ; but, - on the contrary, his practice was limited to the common law courts. Shortly after his admission to • was among the number of his pupils. There can be no question that a young law student could hardly have cho sen a safer guide, for a man more thoroughly learned than Mr. Tindal even then was, in every department of the law, could scarcely be found within the range of the profession ; and he was especially celebrated for what is called " black letter learning." His high re- early age he thought it safe to go to the bar, and accord ingly we find that he was called Trinity Term, 1809. In the same year he married the youngest daughter of the late Captain Thomas Symonds, R.N., and, of course, re signed his fellowship. A numerous family were the issue of this marriage, but the wife of Sir Nicholas died many years ago. In the Court of King's Bench, and on the Northern Circuit, every year brought Mr:Tindal addi tional reputation as a lawyer, but very little fame as an advocate. He was never at a loss for a case; he could always expound a principle ; he could give the history of any statute, and with great perspicuity set forth its pro visions ; he could argue any point, however apparently hopeless, and impeach the validity of any legal document, however apparently sound ; but a knavish witness could elude his examination, and an apathetic jury were never warmed by his eloquence : yet he had what the profession calls a " capital business ;" and a large income rewarded his learning, his industry, and his high reasoning faculties. The natural process by which lawyers seek advancement in their profession is to get into parliament. Mr. Tindal, however, enjoyed a distinguished opportunity of appearing before one house of parliament long before his election as a member of the other. A bill of pains and penalties was preferred against the Queen and George IV., and in one of the most extraordinary proceedings that our history records Mr. Tindal was called upon to bear his the Queen s a matter not very apparent at that period. That he was capable of giving valuable hints to his more showy brethren, Lords Brougham and Denman, there can be no doubt; but his oratory was not of the order to neutralize the dazzling ingenuity of Copley, or to cope with the wily manoeuvres of a cloud of Italian witnesses. w far his astuteness and knowledge ren.

One would have expected that his talents and learning as a lawyer must have often entitled him to enlighten the House on legal difficulties, yet he had not a popular mode of discussing even questions of law. Nevertheless, a better man for the office of Solicitor-General could not be found amongst the Tory lawyers in the month of September, At that tin Mr. Tindal became Sir Nicholas, but he still remained without any very material increase of profes sional fame, nor was he called upon during the tenure of office to assist in any important prosecution on behalf of the Crown. Sir J.. Copley, who had represented the I_Tniveraity of Cambridge, became Lord Chancellor in the year 1827, during the Canning Administration ; thereupon a vacancy occurred in the representation of that constitu ency, and Sir Nicholas Tindal solicited its suffrages. Mr. sankes, 'ory, wen 479 for Sir Nicholas Tindal, and 378 for Mr. Bankes.

The chief seat in the Common Pleas there- fore became vacant, and a prize within the grasp of the Solicitor-General. Sir Robert Peel represented Oxford, Sir Nicholas Tindal, Cambridge; the one was leading Minister in the lower house, and the other second law officer of the Crown ; the one proposed Catholic emanci pation, the other supported it; the one retained his place in the Cabinet and lost his seat for Oxford ; the member for Cambridge gave up his seat for that university, but obtained a seat upon the bench ; and in the month of June, 1829, became Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, which position he occupied durivg the lone period of 17 years; although, under the 6th of George IV., cap. 83, he have claimed exoneration Is of that high station.

Hull immediately gave himself up and confessed the crime. The victim lies in a hopeless state. . AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.—MT. William Mansfield, of Bainton, Bucks, farmer, died on Saturday week, in the 82d year of h worth at the time of his death froM £40,000 to £50,000, but the whole of his personal expenses have not exceeded £5O per year. In accordance with his wish, he was taken to the grave in one of his own waggons. In consequence of an impostor who is going about Ross-shire predicting a horrible storm, with a dreadful loss of life, which, he says, will take place at Wick, fishermen can be induced, " for love or money," to proceed towards Wick, and they are all consequently going southward. _ . . . AN OPPORTUNE REQUEST.—During the discussion at the Monmouthshire Sessions on the proposed new Luna tic Asylum, eighteen gentlemen were speaking at one time, and Mr. W, A. Williams at the same period politely intimated to the reporters "the necessity of taking a cor rect account of the proceedings, and hoped they would do so." _ _ A Portuguese slave dealer, named Gil Thomas Dos autos, on the occasion of a mutiny of slaves on board his nd then closed the plan of quieting savages, tingly termed it, had the desired effect, though it was attended with the loss of a few slaves.

Mr. B. C. being told that the Duke of Norfolk was made Master of the Horse, in the new ministry, observed at once, Ido not know whether his grace knows much of horses, but he will, at all events, understand how to curry them." _ _ _ AFFECTING A CCIDENT.—On Sunday week John white labourer, aged 15, was looking down a new pit sinking in the neighbourhood of Armby Moor Side, near Leeds, about 20 yards deep, and whilst thus engaged his hat flaw off. In stretching forward to catch it his foot slipped, and he fell into the pit. A man named Stevenson, who saw' the accident, having got assistance, descended the pit, which being unfortunately filled at the time with " black damp," he was suffocated. CLAIMING A HUSBAND. - At Brighton, the other day, a young woman named Denning claimed Captain Mercer, a half-pay naval officer, sixty years of age, for her hus band. She asserted that be had married her on the Ist of October, and annoying him by her intrusions, the case was brought before the magistrates, when the captain was able satisfactorily to prove an alibi, and the counsel for the girl admitted that she must have been mistaken as to his identity. _ We direct the attention of our readers to an advertise ment in another column, announcing the publication of the fourth volume of Messrs.

Out of office, the Duke would be unable to complete the admirable aeries of letters, of which so many are now its the hands of autograph hunters, stating that "the Duke of Wellington is Commander-in-Chief of the A rm y.

The most diligent inquiries are being made into the affair. She was alive when found, but unable to speak, and died the same afternoon. The inquest terminated on Saturday with a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or LON GUVITY EXTRAORDINARY.--There is now residing in the parish of Beguildy, adjoining to the borough of Knucklas, Radnorshire, a person of the name of William Matthews, whose lengthened age seldom finds a parallel. He is now in his 118th year, and retains the full power of his natural faculties, being competent to recount, with the most scrupulous exactness, transactions which otherwise the long space of a century would have buried in oblivion. Ells bodily strength, considering his many years, is almost incredible. Hevalks at the rate of three miles an hour, and commonly performs journies of 20 miles in the day. He is strongly tinctured with the enthusiasm and folly of the times of the junior days—a etrong, and prejudiced belief in wizardism and witchcraft.—Hereford Journal. PILENCH OPINION OF ENGLISH ARTISTS.—LC Obcer valeur Francais says ;—" The death of Robert Haydon is naturally drawing attention to the precarious position of artists in England. Isolated, for the most part, one from the other, neglected by a public, who, in general, can but little judge of or appreciate their efforts, aban- doned to themselves by a government which does not pro tect or encourage the ornamental arts, the English artists have no other exercise for their talent than the patronage which almost always, aces injury to the art which it re duels to its own level. Those who, like Robert Ilaydon, despise to bend their pencil to the caprices of fashion, and aspire to the more sublime flights of fancy, may termi nate, as he did, their hard career in misery, despair, and sometimes even by suicide." A CHINESE WITNESS.—In a dkorce case in the House of Lords on Friday, a female Chinese, whose name is Kowhan, was called in, and Lord Brougham desired the saucer,) " if she does not "speak the truth, _ will punish her."

In reply she said, through the interpreter, that the chef T gods was - Buddha —Lord Brougham : tell her that Buddha will punish her most severely if she does not speak the truth ; and that she will also be punished in this world if she does not speak tha truth.

Every bird bore on one of its wings its own pecu liar mark. They arrived here, on Thursday, in four hampers, and all appeared in excellent condition. They rose simultaneously and almost 'perpendicularly into the air, and immediately took a course south-eastward. They were expected to reach Antwerp, distant 200 miles, at half-past two o'clock that afternoon. If so, they would travel, under a blazing hot sun, at the rate of about 33 miles an hour. The steamer left this port for Antwerp in the evening. —Hull Herald. MURDER IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—On Saturday night week, a carrier, named Robinson, was murdered on the road be:ween Nottingham and Mansfield. He was ac companied by a man named Shepherd, whom he rer ,uested to drive his waggon for a short time while he stopped at a public-house. Shepherd did so; but arrived at Mans field without having been overtaken by Robinson, and immediately communicated the fact to the latter's family, when a search was instituted, and deceased's body was found at a short distance from the road with several wounds upon the ftead and trunk. Some money was found in his pockets, but it is supposed that he must have been possestied of a larger sum when murdered. No clue has been found by which the murderers can be traced ; though at the inquest, spots of blood had been found on Shepherd's jacket and smockfrock, a circum stance for which he account ed by saying that he had fought a fellow-servant on Thursday. He entered into recogni zances to appeal when called upon, and the inquiry was then adjourned. A REAL DUEL.—A contemporary thus describes what he calls " an affair of honour," and which he states came place between two gentlemen at Plymouth, on ;Monday, the 15th of June.

A gentleman (Mr. O'G,) who styled himself " B.A. M.D." was en gaged by the managers to deliver two lectures on the " Use and Study of History." lie delivered the first of these lectures on Wednesday the 24th ult., and as many of the members discovered "a marvellous coincidence" between that and the introductory lectures of Mr. Me Cullagh on the same subject, two of the committee, with t d h o e wn sec i‘ r i e r t . ar i‘ y of the lecuiiag hs institution ork la st were ev inducedeninz,to ascertaint o bring the correctness of their surmises. They then found that the lecture he was delivering was a literal transcript front one contained in the work before mentioned.

Todgers, who kept a lodging and eating house, and had a table where many of the stud lents use d to dine cookery, which at first was tolerably good, by degrees be gan to degenerate, and at last grew so intolerable, that al though her dinners were the cheapest in the city, her cus leserted her, and at length she was tamers, c formally put under the ban by the chore who used to fre quent her establishment. But the Frau Heximar fortu nately possessed a strapping son, who happened to be a remarkably good swordsman, and he very significantly gave several members of the chore to understand, that unless they returned to his mother's banquets, he would be under the disagreeable necessity of taking compulsory measures. This threat had the desired effect; for a few of the junior members who had not had time to become very cunning of fence, grew frightened—they returned. The cook, anxious to retrieve her credit, put ford► all her skill; a favourable report was brought back to the kneipe, and Madame Heximar's table was as much crowded as ever.—Dublin University Magazine. as to impress the lathe with the marks of the constant ap plication of the arm to one particular part of it.

IGNITION BY THE HEAT OF THE SUN.—On Sunday morning last, about 10 or 11 o'clock, a tarpauline was lying spread abroad in a meadow at Willsley, in the occupation of Mr. John Wtston, in readiness for covering a bay-rick should it be wanted, when it was observed to have caught fire, from the heat of the sun, in several places. Incredible as this may appear, it's a fact. The tarpauline is rendered utterly useless, being burnt. nearly' all Over. It was thrown into a pond, and the lire thus put out. It is supposed the ignition was caused by something in the oil with which the tarpauline had been dressed.—Maidstone Jew nal.
