COURT OF CHANCERY, Limcsues-IM a, Ave. 11.

EDUCATION.
THE 'ATTORNRY-GENERA L V. WRITILLT.
This was an application that had been made mane
time back, by the Trustees of the Grammar-school
at Leeds, against the Defendant, the preceptor.
It was twice before the public, on which account
we. will give but a short statement. In the year
1532, it was endowed by Queen Elisabeth for the
education of youth in the learned languages, with
a satiny to the preceptor of 4001. per eansies, with
a house, &c. add soul. per aensurs to his assistant.
The town of Leeds in latter years having become a
great manufacturing town, the Trustees wished the
pupils to be instructed in the commercial branches;
winch the Defendant, the present preceptor, re-
fused, as it was contrary to the intention of the ori-
ginal endowment, and by his refusal the persons
educated had diminished to a very small number.
The Loan CHANCELLOR was to have given his.
judgtnent this day, but he deferred it until next term,
and observed, that this case had been referred twice
to a Master iu Chancery, and be had not been
able to come to a decision, but had sent it hack to
him each time for further iii,truetion. He was
not able to give him better than he had already
done, and the only alternative that was left, was for
Wm to make up his opinion with the assistance of
the Bar. Ile could not say but he was of the same
opinion as the Defendant us to the original inten-
tion of the endowment ; but there was a great hard-
ship incurred by the trustees and the public at large.
lie deprecated the idea of a school, consisting of
oil seven or eight scholars, as not being bene-
ficial to youth in general, and returned thanks
that he had been educated at home (lea-
castle) and scut to a day-school, where there
was only half-a-guinea a quarter paid fur his
education, before he went to a University.—
He had hoped to have been able to have conic
to a determination, and have given judgment in
this cause before the sittings had ended, but his
bad state of health, and the pressure of business,
would not allow him to pay that attention to it,
which the greatness of the object proposed to be
decided required.

LOAN FROM THE BANK.

Mr. TIERNEY communicated to the House
his intention of bringing under its conedenition
the correspondence which luta- lately taken place
between ll* Alajeaty's Goveruntesit and the Di-
rectors of the Bank of England. He was not then
aware of the precise form in which that subject
could be best discussed. Oa a former occasion,
during the Administration of Mr. Pitt, whets the
connexion Lmtween the Bank and the Treasury be-
cause the subject of Parliamentary attention, that
Right llon..Geutleinati, (Mr. Pitt), and another
person, not now iu that House, both 'shifted die
responsibility of that arrangement front eadt mild.
However, iii the course of events, that arntaigement
hes turned out a profitable speculation, awl since
that perioil,the lloootirable tieutlc Irina to wawa be
ha 4 Outlet', arrogated to hine.elf full credit for his
essalPtions in producing such effects ; at present he
had to confine himself to a motion for the produc-
tion of all the correspondence that had taken
place between the first Lord cf the Treesuri *ad
the Ch tneollor of the Exchequer, with the (.ever-
nor and Deputy Governor of the Beak of Eng-
land, with retie et to the ialumgement of the Na-
tional Debt, the application of the unclaimed di-
vidends, and the ben of money to the public, since
the I%t of May, lao7.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, he thought the Howe would plainly perceive
that one of the objects was unnecessary, so far as it
went to ascertain from whence this measure origi-
nated. It was an arrangement in winch the Bunk
. had no particular interest, but where the public
derived all the bandit. He had only to more the
Right Honourable Gentleman, that even were these
documents in the possession of the House, they
would still afford but very partial information,
particularly az some of the coannutlicutious were
verbal.
Mr. THORNTON agreed with what had fallen
front the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and with
respect to this arrangement having originated in a
private communication. Indeed it was impossible
to lay the full correspondence before the House, as
in many instances the communication was verbal.
The Motion was put and carried, and the
papers ordered to be laid an th, table.
Mr. HUSKISSON moved, "'That there be laid'
before that House an advent of the bissice of-.the
unclaimed divide'ds lying in the Bank, up twthe

But, correct as Mr. Arndt was in hiq prediction of
the revolution in Spain, being a native of Swedish
Pomerania, he is not miliiosised enough to judge
fairly of the ability of Sweden effectually to op-
pose, in addition to the Russian forces, tin artily
composed of men every way as hard• eV the b-ave
warriors of Sinaland. Warne, Warmeland, and
Jemptland. The Norwegians, in particular, are
as little degenerated as the hardy inhaiiitants of
these Swedish provinces They still are, like the
ancient Normans, so handsome, strong, brave,
and loyal race of men. They are not, indeed,
over partial to the Danes, but they are firmly
attached to the Danish Goveraraent, which treats
them more as an independent confederate Power,
than as subjects of a subordinate province, bur-
dening them with no more taxes than the States
of Norway think proper to accord. As it is
not likely that they would be indulged iii the en-
joyment of the same advantage., if reduced un-
der the Swedish sceptre, they may be expected to
co-operate most vigorously with a Danish army,
should a frost enable it to invade Gothlund
agd Scania, whilst Russia pursues her conquests in
Finland ; and it is more than probable that the en-
wing winter will enable the King of Denmark to
execute the plan of Bonaparte, and to indemnify
himself in Sweden for the loss of Hol'tein, which,
probably, w II be soot) followed by the additional
cession of Jutland."

Extract of a letter from Fevershran, dated April
3 :—" A boy, who had been watching crows, on his
return home a few dugs since, left his gun in the
corner of the room. A little fellow, nine year's old,
running into the room, and taking the gun, ex-
claimed, " Joe, 1 will shout yon !" pulled the
trigger, and wounded his yowl friend ja the baud
and thigh. Two gentlemen riding past, alighted.
and gave every assistance in their power. One of
them, shaking the little fellow, said, he would have
him hanged; which had such an effect on him,
that neat morning he was unable to rise. He cried,
and hoped Joe would get better. He was assured
he was getting better, aud.that he might go soo

COURT OF CHANCERY, FAA. 1.

Before LORD ELDON, assisted by Sir SOULDEN
LAWRENCE, and Baron TCOMPSOX•
LORD LEIGH'S WILL
• LZIOM V. Lk:IOIL
This was a demurrer taken by the Defendant
to the Pluiutirs bill. The question was, whether
the Plaintiff came under the devise of Lord Leigh's
will, Of t sir to his estate ?
The circumstances were as follow :—Lord
Leigh did devise his estates, by his will, after his
death, to Ins sister, Mary Leigh, and her chil-
dren; and in. the event of her dying without
*mane, to his other sister,. Anne, and to her male
issue ouly ; and in case they both died
without issue, to the next wale of kin, being of
his blood, and bearing his name. Both sisters
died without issue. The Plaintiff was nest of kin
by the female hue ;• his original name had been
Smith ; in the year 1802, four years before the
death of Mrs. Mary Leigh, he took the name" of
Leigh, by His Majesty's license, and brought his
bill in Chancery to recover the estates under the
will, as beiug nearest ofliu, and bearing the name
of Leigh.
Sir SAMUEL. ROMILLY, and Mr. EAST, argued
with great ability in support of the Demurrer; they
enntenied, that the Plaintiff's assuming the name
did not correspond with the intentions of Lord
Leigh, the testator' who intended that the estate
shouldiro to the male descendants of the family.
Mr. RICHARDS, Mr. LEACH, and Mr. AGAR, ar-
gued for the Plaintiff. They contended dud he
was in the situation described in the will of the tes-
tator, and as such entitled to the estates.

The arguments of the Learned Counsel occu-
pied the entire day, until three o'clock.
Lord ELDoN observed, that he and the learned
Judges who had so kindly given him their assist-
ance, would confer together. The only question
they had to a onsider, was, whether the gentleman
assuming the mime of Leigh by His Alaje►ty's
license in 1802, came under the idea of the testa-
tor, when he expressed in his will, that he should
be the nett of kin, and of the blood and name of
Leigh ? On a future day they would give their
judgment.

S7'o/Z)1 AT COllll.

Last Friday se xis about fire o'clock in the
mordin i. was cxperiencsd one of • the most s.-were
gales of wind ever remembered in the city of Cork.
It cam: rid from the N.N.W., rad witn so
touch
violence, that it true up one of the largest trues In
St. F hurry's church-yard.
The chimneys of Colonel Young's house, near
the Artillery Barracks, were blown down, and, fall-
ing 011. the roof. drove it in, and carried down the
floors of the back part of the house. Fortunately,
noise of the family occupied that part of the build-
ings otherwire they must have been destroyed. It
lwsiu an liti-rhore wind, the ships at Cove rode out
the storin.
His Majesty's sloop Arles, Captain Stewart,
ilrit,gtml her anchors on the night of the 17th inst.,
AMC notwitiutauding the prompt exertions of her
(*seers, got on shore under Cork Beg, at top of
high water, where she. lay until four o'clock on the
ltrth, when, we me happy to say, she was got off,
nod is now riding in Nal'ety in the Roads. The
.cause of her getting on shore was attrilasteil to the
wind hiving shifted from blowing hard at S.W. to
N.W. from which point it it an instaist blew as se-
vere u gale as we have fur many years remembered
in this harbour.
The Worm gun-boat, from Youghal, was also en
shore near the Victualling-OfficF Quay, but will
got off without material iniory. Many ves•
got 'foul of each other during the gale oa the 17th,
the harbour being very crowded ;
however, have received such damage as to &able
thew from proceeding to sea.

TRENCH DECREE.

LordHOLLAN 11 rose, in pursuanceof his notice,
to move for the praline:ion of the papers relating
to the corrrsrontlenee that hall taken place between
His Majesty's Ministers, and the Government of
the Untied States of America. His intention in
moving for these papers, he observed, was to obtain
the explanation of the real intention of the Decree
of the French Government respeitiug America,
This would necessarily discover to us, whether in
the adoption of the sygtem we had recourse to. the
interest. of this country had been consulted,and her
character among nations preserved. For his part, he
bad every reason to believe, that we had far exceed-
ed the French in the race of violence anti iiijnstice,
and finally bad compelled America to reset to
those measure., which have so justly excited alarm.
Whatever had been the coodoct pursued. he Ivan
satisfied the best exculpation of it, if criminal, or
defence, if just, wonl-1 consist in apprising the
country of the act:v.lso,es of Administration, and
pmdueing to the public all the pepsin relating to
that transaction.

to ascertain where the land lies. It would be ha.

HACKNEY rOACii FARES.

The Act regulating the Hackney Coach Fares,
which passed on the 23d or June last, will be se-
verely felt by the public, and lead to endless dis-
putes. It will be seen by the following abstract
and table of fares, that k person hiring a coach for
1.1 hours will have to pay it. 7s. instead of I.Br. the
old charge ; and if riken after five o'clock in the
winter, to go four miles (off the stones). the party
will have to pay the triding sum of nine shillings.
In short, the rate of cliaNes bears no just propor-
tion in the scale, and persons may travel cheaper
is a postehaise than in a hackney coach. Our
readers, consulting the subjoined stale of tires,
will see they should never hire a couch for a greater
distance than two miles; as in that way. by chang-
ing their cam!. they may go le miles for 12s. but
if they hire one to go 11 miles outright they roust
pay Is.. If off the stones a-guinea. A post-chaise
would oaly be 15s.

have been used by Mrs. Jones to three differcut maims, which
torus the ground-work (with other corroborating evidetwe) of
the injury Mrs. Curiae believes she bas sustained (rout Mrs.
Jones.

The questions which I apprehend will be sufficient for our
consideration, as referees, are two ; namely, tint, whether
soy expressions hare been sued or repurteset on foot be Mrs.
Joues to the injury of Mrs. Corbet's character ? and neemadly,
whether such expressions or reports can be justified ?
lam requested by Mrs. Corbet, in rrturn for the papers I

of (Arent in the Linen Board of Ireland, from the

Some conversation ensued upon this subject, and
Mr. Rose proposed to leave out the specification
