Tears of his life, and in which he died; it was a spot which,
being nnencrosched upon, they were most desirous of guarding
from new erections, and eousecrating to the merncry of hint
whose name had rendered it, in their estimation, hallowed
ground. With the assistance, therefore, of the Archcalogical
Aasociation, he wa• well satisfied the property would remain
' undisturbecl.—Sir Wm. &them moved that the association
should use every exertion to carry out the object of the com-
mittee. He could not then say what could be c ffixted by
the society, but it would pledge itself to co operate with the
Shakspenaa Club.—The motion was seconded, and carried
without dissent.—The chairman had been reqinsud to sug.
est to the association the propriety of forming • committee
in London to co-operate with that in Stratfcrd, and gain the
assistance of the Arehwological Institute, the Royal So-
ciety of Literature, the Camden Society, the Percy
Society, and the Shaksperian Society of London
and as he had the honour of being a member of the
council of nearly the whole of them, he would direct at-
cannon to the subject. As the proceedings had come to a con-
clusion, he would read to the meeting a paper by Mr. Hal-
liwell, on the authenticity of traditional anecdotes of Shak-
spere. He made extracts front an early manuscript in the
possession of Lord Brooke, which contained tome curious
notices of the great poet.

ATTEMPT TO DESTROY LITZ AT OCTPONDIR.—The

vernment Polito Garrtle contains the offer guineas
reward for the apprehension of the parties who early on
the morning of the 14th. placed a pound weight of blasting
gunpowder on the sill of the bed-room window of the house
occupied by Mr. J. Robinson, farmer. of Oretwell
Mili-
house, in the parish of Ryton, folded tightly in brown
paper, so as to form a cartridge, with a piece of linen com-
municating with the powder, which bad been set on tire.
Providentially, however, the fire was self-extinguished be-
fore it reached the powder.

THZ ANNULI. MEETIN-07/P7;IIS LINCOLNSHIRE ARCM-

rwitaan SocirrT took place at the county assembly-rooms
on Wednesday last. The Chancellor was called to the chair,
and Sir C. H. J. Anderson read a paper of con.nierable in-
terest on Lincoln Cathedral. Sir Charles lamented that
there was no good history of the building, and that the plates
extant are not such as they should be. It was stated to have
been the custom of the Normans to destroy every remnant
of Saxon and to erect Norman edifices in their stead ; but Sir
Charles said there was little doubt that Stow Church was
partially the remains of a Saxon cathedral, built A.D. 700.
Whether Lincoln Cathedral occupied the site of a Saxon
church was unknown. Bede recorded that Paulinue built a
church in Lincoln, the whole of which remained in his time,
except the roof, which had been destioyed by the Damon
As an instance of the laxity of ecclesiastical rule and manners
in the Roman period, it was stated that a boy of 16 hell the
office of dean, and that complaint wee made that be and his
companion' shot their arrows through the cathedral win-
dows, and that parties were suffered to play at cards and
dice till after midnight in the chantry. The spot in the
cathedral was pointed out where Ann Ayreoghe, who
perished at the stake, went to read the scriptures. In her
book she records that the priests gazed at her as they passed
by ; and this act in going to the cathedral to read was one
of the accusations made against Mr.—A discussion followed,
being introduced by the Rev. G. Atkinson, of Stow, relative
to the clearing away of " the shabby " buildings on the
north side of the cathedral. It appeen that the coat will be
7,0001.; th►t the Dean is favourable, and will contribute,
but that unless almost immediate steps be taken, the new
deanery will be commenced, and the improvement will then
be for years frustrated. It was stated MI probable that the
Arehteological Institute would visit this city next year.

purchased for the National G.J.lery since 6th August, 1846,
with the prices paid for them, Irons this it splicers that
the " Philip the Fourth of Spain hunting the wild boar,"
painted by Vebisques, was bought out of Lord Cowley's

MUSIC.
•
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—Lent evening there
was another performance, at Exeter Hall, of Spohr's sacred
music; under the direction of the composer. The first part
consisted of " The Eightyfourth Psalm" (a new production),
and a sacred cantata, entitled " The Christian's Prayer," a
piece which ham been several times performed in London.
The second part consisted of the oratorio of •' The Last
Judgment." This is the earliest of Spokes works of this
elms, and we hare ellrays regarded it as the best ; an opi-
nion which was confirmed by the effect of last night's per-
formance. As compered with "The Fall of Babylon,' it
was not only much better executed, but evidently made a
much stronger impression on the audience. The supe-
riority of its execution arose from its . greater fa-
cility. It is less minutely elaborated. is compara-
tively free from chromatic intervals, and its plain melodies
and broad masses of harmony are much more easy
to be produced by the performer, and to be understood and
felt by the audience. The principal singers last evening
were Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, Mr. Hobbs, and hlr. Phillips,
who ably sustained the parts allotted to them. Many of the
movements were encored ; and, at the conclusion of the per-
formance, the illustrious compeer, before leaving the
orchestra. was loudly cheered for several minutes. The
I Sacred Harmonic Society are entitled to the gratitude of the
musical public for their exertions this season in promoting
the highest branch of the art, by bringing forward the

HOUSE OF LoEDS. —FRIDAY.

IRVING V.MANNING.—INSURANCI OP A SHIp.—RIONT
OP THE OwNi♦aa IN CA/JE or ToTAL Lou TO TIN FULL
AXOUNT or THI VALUI OP FOLICT.—This Case, involv-
ing a question of great importance to the commercial world,
the Lords bad eel down for judgment at one o'clock. Tho
house was then completely crowded, with ladies chiefly,
waiting for the Queen a arrival. The sue was argued be
fore their lordships, assisted by the common law judges, on
the 29th June, and Ist and Bth of the present month ; and
the main facts were then reported in thiajournal. It will be
remembered that the ease came before the house upon a writ
of error against &judgment of the Court of Exchequer Cham-
ber, in an action brought by Mr. Manning on a policy of
insurance effected on the General Kyd with the Marine
Insurance Company, of which Mr. living was the represen-
tative, and the question was whether upon that policy the
assured could recover as for a total loss. It appeared that
the policy was effected in 1843 ; that the ship, which had
originally been in the service of the East India Company,
was valued at 17,500!. The policy was for a voyage at and
from China to Madras, and back to China. Daring the
voyage the vowel was dismasted, and by the wreck of the
masts and rigging falling over her sides, and striking against
her hull, the copper and sheathing were much injured. The
skip was taken into Calcutta, and, being surveyed, it was found
that the repairs required to render her seaworthy would not
amount to lees than 10,600/. If such expenditure had been
incurred, the ship would have been worth, in England or in
Calcutta. not more than 9,0001. When the report to that
effect had been made, the master abandoned the vessel, of
which notice was given to the underwriters ; and the owners
claimed as for a total lon. The question was, whether they
were entitled to do so ? On the one hand, it was contended
that the circumstances amounted to a total loss for that the
assured were not bound to do more than a prudent man who
was uninsured would de ; and it was clear that under such
circumstances be would not spend more money on the ship
than she would sell for after the money had been expended.
Oa the other hand, it was contended that the assured were
bound to repair ; that they could not claim more than indem-
nity under a policy of insurance ; and that they would oh-
Min more than an indemnity if they were allowed to aban-
don, fur they would recover the whole 17,5001. on the valued
policy, while the ship would not be worth much more than
half that sum. The court below, thinking that previous
cases had established the right of the assured to abandon the
ship under circumstances such as existed in this case, and
were stated in a special verdict, pronounced judgment to that
effect.

The Lord Chancellor, at the close of the argument, put
this question to the judge'. " Whether, in the judgment on
the,:spocial verdict, the damages ought to be taken on pro-
perty assessed at 3,0001. or 1,5001 ?"
Theudges having obtained time to consider their an-
swer, lie. Justice Patties°, on their behalf, attended on the
morning of the Bth instant and delivered their unanimous
opinion that the plaintiff below was entitled, upon the
facts found by the special verdict, to recover 10001. It
appeared that the action was on a policy for 3,0001. on a
ship valued at 17,5001., and the verdict found that it was
fairly valued at that SUM. It also found that the vessel daring
the voyage was so damaged as to be incompetent to proceed
without repairs, that the necesesry expenditure in order to
repair and make her seaworthy would have amounted to
10,5001., and that she would have been then worth 9,0001.
only, which was her marketable vale. then and at the time
of the policy ; that a prat:ant owner, uninsured, would not have
repaired the vessel; and that she was duly abandoned to the
underwriters. If this had not been the case of a valued policy
it was clear that on the facts found there was a total loss, for
a vowel is totally lost within the meaning of a policy when
she becomes of no use or value as a ship to the owner ; and
as much so as if the vessel bad gone to the bottom of the sea,
or had been broken to pieem, and the whole or greet part of
the fraents had reached the shore as wreck ; and the
course Wes been, in all eases in modern times, to consider the
lose as total where a prudent owner, uninsured, would not
have repaired. In an open policy, therefore, the assured
would have been entitled to recover for a total loss, the
amount to be ascertained by evidence. What difference,
then, was there from the circumstance that the policy was a
valued policy ? By the terms of it, the ship. &c., " for so
much as concerned the assured, by agreement between the
assured and assurers, were, and should be, rated at
17,5001.." and the question turned upon the meaning of
these words. Did they, as contended for by the plaintiff in
error, amount tom agreemert that fur all purposes connected
with th o voyage, at least for the purpose of ascertaining
whether there was a total loss or not—the ship should be
taken to be of that value, so that when a question arose who.
then it would be worthwhile to repair her, it most be maimed
that the vessel would be worth that sum when repaired? Or
did they mean only, that, for the purpose of ascertaining the
amount of compensation to be paid to the assured, when ea
loss had happened, the value should be taken to be the sem
fixed, in eider to avoid disputes as to the quantum of the
neistued's interest? "All the judgn," his lordship said,
" were of opinionthat the latter was the true meaning, and
this was consistent with the language of the policy, and with
every case that had been Bedded upon rallied policies "
After referring to several caws that were tilted is the argu-
ment, his lordship said, " the principle laid dews the
latter cases was this: that the question of loss, whams
total or not, was to be determined just as if there was as
policy at all, and the established mode of putting the crew
tion, when it was alleged that there had bean what was
perhaps improperly called a ionatructive tebd kite of a ship,
was to consider the policy altogether out of the question,
and to inquire what a pealime antesaved mar would have

The Lord Chancellor, referring to this opinion of the
judges, said it was the opinion of twelve of them in this
home, and the other Mies ef the imemmen law mute had
expressed the like spinal in the Iteshoram Chamber, se
that this was the eghdea of all the Wood judges, end he

FOROZOT OF • POIMOIFFICII Ot/Dift.—Fells Quin was
, charged with forging the name of one John lose toe Post-
offloe order for the sum of 4s. Bd., with intent to defraud her
I Majesty's Pcsitmaster.General. In the month of May last
the prosecutor lodged in the prisoner's house at Lane-end,
in this county, and having a small sum of money owing to
him by one George Knight, and being unable to write,
sought the assistance of the prisoner to dun his debtor for
the money. The prisoner wrote as requested, and on the
llth day of the month George Knight obtained from the
postmistress of Nuneaton en order for 4s. 6d. payable
at the Lane-end poet-offioe in favour of John Ire.
This order, together with a letter accompanying it,
was transmitted through the pat-office in the hand-
writing of one Benjamin Thomas—the sender being, like
the prosecutor, no scholar—eddremed "John Isac, to be
left at Felix Inn, Lane-end." This in doe course arrived at
its destination, and was handed to the letter-carrieg to be
delivered to its address. The Felix Inn,: however, Gould not
be found, and finally it was given up to the prisoner, Felix
Quin, in consequence of certain representations made by
him. He then proceeded to draw the money upon the order,
telling the postmistress that it was payable to him for lodg-
ings due from the prosecutor. Upon this he was informed
that before the order could be cashed the party in whose
favour it was drawn must sign it. After some demur, on the
' score of lese's being very ill in the " Spitale," he left for the
purpase, and returned in five hours with the order signed,
as he stated, by the prosecutor. This, however, was a false-
hood, as Inc expressly denied ever having signed it or
authorised the prisoner to sign it for hint. In favour of the
prisoner, it appeared that a small sum for lodging was
actually due from prosecutor ; that immediately a question
arose about the matter the prisoner returned the money
through the poet-effice to Inc ; and further, that on one
occasion a letter, containing a cheque for 201. 12a. fol., was
by mistake delivered to the prisoner, and that he of his own
accord gave it up at the post-glice.—The prisoner was found
Gaiky.—Mr. Justice Erle, in paining sentence, observed that
the court found it necessary to punish with great severity
offences of this description. In this particular case he should
look at all the circumstances, and take them into considera-
tion. The prisoner was then adjudged to be imprisoned for
six calendar months with hard labour.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.7-Noavnca, JULY 22.

The business of the assizes for this oounty and for the
county of the city commenced this morning. The cause list
contains five entries, of which one is marked for a special
jury. The number of prisoners is forty ; seventeen of them
can neither read nor write; twelve can read and write im-
perfectly; three can only read imperfectly; five can read
and write well; and of the amount of instruction received
by the other two nothing is known. The calendar is com-
paratively light: there being three cams of burglary ; one of
manslaughter; one of cutting and stabbing; one of rape;
one of child-murder ; and one of arson. William Parker,
the person charged with arson, was remanded at the summer
assizes of last year, it having been then found by inquisition
that he stood mute by the providence of God, and not
of malice ; and again at the last assizes, it then
appearing to the court that he we sot in a fit state to take
his trial. Another prisoner, Elisabeth Pratt, stands charged
with the offence—one of a class seldom made the subject of
judicial investigation—of having omitted to provide suffi-
cient food for, and having beaten and ill-treated, Martha
Pratt, an infant of tender years. left in her are.

Tits Minnexti Mottneas.—Mr. Slim, soon after the
opening of the court this morning, rammed his application
to his lordship that the trial of Patrick Reid, upon the indict-
ments charging him with the murders of Ann Wraith and
Caroline Ellis, might be postponed until the next swim.—
Mr. Serjeint Wilkins resisted the application as a most un-
usual one. Trials were sometimes postponed in fermr of
the accused, but seldom at the instance of the prosecution.
Besides, in effect though not to deed, Patrick Reid had ac-
tually been tried for this offence, as there could be no doubt
that the party who was present at the murder of Wraith was
also present at the murder of the other two.—Mr. Bliss
having replied, Mr. Justice Wightmen said that the question
altogether was of so much importance, both u regards the
