EDINBURGH, JA x. 20.

This city and its neighbourhood wn on Tuesday morn-
ing visited by a tremendous storm of rain and whist, accom-
panied by flashes of lightning. The Sir William Wallace
steam packet, belonging to the Ferry Trustees, when lying
at anchor outside the bar of Burntisland, became, we regret
to say, a victim to its violerf:. The crew, observing her
to pitch at a fearful rate, stied to bring her off the bar, by
putting the paddies in motion, and other exertions, bet
when the effect of these exertions was about to be felt, the
vessel wheeled round with extraordinary rapidity, and was
dashed to pieces on the rocks. The crew was saved. The
passengers had been conveyed ashore in boats the previous
evening. Among the accidents which happened in Edin-
burgh, the following have come to our knowledge:—A
watchman in Staford-street was actually lifted off his feet
by the wind, and blown over an iron railing into a sunk
area, and hail his head and ribs dreadfully shattered.
A woman was blown over in the Iligh-street with such
force as to cause a depression in her forehead. Many
masons' sheds were blown down.

Murray, who stands committed on charge of the robbery
of the Stirling mail, ran his letters on Saturday last, which
is a compulsory profess, at his intimation, on the Lord
Advocate and Procurator-Fiscal, to bring him to trial in
sixty days, or liberate him. He has appointed Mr. Haw-
thorn, S.S.C. his agent for conducting his defence, and
has retained Mr. Jeffrey and Mr. J. A. Murray, as his
Counsel.
The first division of the 99th regiment embarked on
Tuesday morning on board the Zephyr transport, in Leith
Roads for Portsmouth. Two other transports are daily ex-
pected, on board of which the retnaiader will embark.

HILARY TERM.
This being the first day of Term, the Courts were opened

HAZER V. clityr).
The defendant wns the widow of a eentleretaa of rank and family,
in the county of Salop. The plaintiff; the executor of her husband,
had obtained an or-parte injunction against her, to restrain the pol-
lination oflove-letters, poems, and treatise., upon various eubjecrx,
which were in her possession, and were addressid to her by at:
deceased, and which, from the reputed genius of the writer, were
like.), to be of considerable valuta.
The Soi.torroa-GENERAL and Mr. flonreE, for the defends
' ant, argued, that the injunction could no; stand ; the productions
in question were the voluntary grant of the deceased to the de-
fendant, both before and after marriage; they were the free offer..
logs of his affection, and as such, the defendant had an unqualified
property in them. They should be considered as pin.ntoney, sad
held in the light of paraphernalia. The lady stated in her affidavit
that they were written to her without the least objection to their
publication. There were also reflections thrown out, which these
letters would have_the effect of completely removing • the topics
they embraced were numerous, and comprehended eater subjects
besides love, which were calculated to improve slid instruct the
public. The defendant and her husband lived separate ; she was
allowed a maintenance, and, during the period of separation,
many of these letters were written ; the sale efthem would increase
her property.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was decidedly of opinion. thein lune-
tion should stand. %V hen letters ware written to a party, it should
be presumed there was no right of publication, and this presump-
tion should be acted upon, until an absolute permission by the
writer were showed in writing; with this exception of publication,
the property was absolute in thr receiver of the letters.

Mr. SCAR MITT MrWell Wr a rule to iliGer cause why A. writ of
quo seurranto should not issue against a Krems by the name of
Fisher, calling on hint :is show by wFat.autherity he held the office
of town-clerk of the borough a Dpnetaster.. it appeared that the
situation of town-clerk for that borough was in the appointment of
the burgesses and freemen, nott a rata/key having occurred by the
death of Mr. Bright, the person liter ): holding t t office, an elec-
tion was appointed ferehe purpose of shwa% a person so succeed
that gentleman. The candidates on that occasion were a#lr. Maori
anti al r. Fisher. On the .16th Sept-last, when the awes* staaeithled
for the election, it was proposed that the two candidates should re•
tire, and that persona shotdd be appointed to scrutinize the votes.
This having been dene,, the election commenced, but after four
votes had been taken,,,,,, a clergyman of the Borough, the Rev. Mr.
Fenton, got up to ashlress the Mayor, and proposed that both of
the candidate' should be asked whether they.bul bad the sacra-
ment administered to them withili twelve months from that day.
The Mayor accordingly. directed Mr...Maeon to be first celled in,
and on the question being put to him, that person answered in the
affirmative, sold stated the church in which he had received it. Mr.
Fisher was then called In, and a similar question was put to him.
but he .hesitated fur some time without making any reply ; and tan
the Mayor repealing the question, his It:lends sried out, " don't
answer the queseort," "don't unsafe the question," and he then
refused to give any &hewer., Upon thin, hlr. Mason's frierds c•iell
out, " this proves what we liaee all glom/ known to be the fact, that
he has never taken the sacrament at all ;'' and added, " that a'A
the votes that should be given to h;m would be thrown away." The
friends of Mr. Fisher, however, called cot `.! ptaceed with the elec.
lion." A few votes were then taken, after which Mr. Mason's
friends went away, under the impression that the election would of
necessity tall on their favourite candidate, as there was no person to
be opposed to him. •
The Lonu Curtis JUSTICE.—Then Mr. Mason did ha+.
some votes given to him ?
Mr. SCARLET T—Yes, my, Lord, tliiite were eleven votes fir
Mr. Mason, and eighteen for Mr. Fisher. The Mayor was then
called on to dechre Fisher duly elected, but he could not, Inas•
much as the qualification of having taken the sacrament did not
appear to have been complied with by that gentleman. Mr. Fisher
was again asked whether he had received the sacrament, but be
still declined to answer, and the consequence was, that the MayS •
declared Mr. Mason to hare been duly elected. Mr. Fisher, upon.
this, said that if any of his friends would ask him the question, be
would answer. liv was accordingly piked it by one of them, but
his reply was deemed by the Mayor to be so unsatisfactory, thin
he refused to alter the decision he had already made in favour bf
Mr. Mason.
The LOUD Curer Jfselcki-Then how was it, Mr. Scarlet..
that Fisher got into possession o the Office ?
Mr. Semi etre—Why, my Lord, the Mayor having protteeded
to certify to the King that Mason was duly elected, agreeible to
the charter. Fisher took tip a book and put to himself the neeessaty
oath el office, proctect the certificate required. and them la the
assistance ()flume of his friends, he got the Curporstion Seal affixed
to it. Thin Was remitted to the Secretary of State's Office, alit
the *anction of the Crown was by these means obtained, by virtu*
of which he took posse/aim of the office, and which he row held,
and executed. lie (Mr. Searlett) had affidavits of the overseen.
and churchwardens, that it was their belief that Fisher never hail
received the sacrament ; and that search had been made in the
bouks of the parish where he was said to have been born, but that
no entry of Lis name appeared, nor was there any evidence that he
had ever been christened.
LORD Cn ter JUSTICE—Take • role to show cause.
MAYHEM AND ANOTHER V. EAMES AND co.
This was an action tried before the Lord Chief Justice, at the late-
Sittings at Guildhall. The plaintiff* are Manchiaittr wsrehousee
nom, living at No. 5. Foster-lane, Cheapside. The defendants
keep the NI bite Horse Coach Eetablishment in Fetter-bre, and art
the proprietors of the Lynn Coach. The action Was temight
against the de'endants as common metiers, to recover the value of
a parcel containing country bank notes, to the amount of 75t• whisk
was lost by die negligence of their servants. The defence set up vs
the trial was, that a notice had been given to the plaintiffs by the
I proprietors, that they would not be liable for the value of airy psi.
cel entrusted to them beyond the aunt of U. unless specially agreed
I upon between them, and the party by whom the parcel was sent. Tao
Learned Judge ruled that, as it had been proved that this ticitioe
was known to the plaintiffs, it operated to protect the defendant.
and he therefore directed a nonsuit, but with leave to the plaintiffs
to move this Court to set aside the nonsuit, and eider a verdict qir
the value of the parcel that was lost.
Mr. COMMON SERGEANT this day moved, that the Tenfleir
should be set aside, and a verdict be entered for the plaintiffs fbr
871. The circumstances moved at the trial were these. That
Thomas Hughes, a traveller in the employ of the plaintiffe, whiles
nave:ling in the county of Norfolk, had ocessinn to remit scene cash
to his employers. He made up a parcel and inclined 7!. in corn-
try bank notes. This parcel he booked at the Castle Inn, kept by
Mr. IVright, at Downham, in that county, to he forwarded by the
Lyon coach • endorsing on the parcel the word " ' his
reason fur doing' which was, that it contained an order for acme
mourning. It was also proved by the hostler of the Castle Inn,
Hownhani, that in February last parcels were booked at that house
fur the defendants' coach called the Nelson, which put up then.
and that on the 10th of that month he was called by the wsitet of
the Inn, to witness the putting in of a money parcel into that coach,
directed to the plaintiff's in London. The way-bill was also put in
at the trial by which it appeared, that a parcel marked "mourning'.
was entered, but marked at the London Coach Office as missing.
The motion which he (Mr. Common Sergeant) now made was upon
three grounds—lst. lleit there was no evidence that the notice ass
that of the defendants : it being one from the coach office in London,
as to all the coaches that ran from the White Horse, Fetter late.
Mr. Justice Darer Y.-IVas there no evidence t hat Mr. Eames.
was the proprietor of this coach, by his name appearing on it ?
(.oat wow SERGEANT said he did not krow ; but even if
there hail been, his second ground was. that there was no proof that
the plaintiff* had tidy knowledge of the notice. It wail too much
to say that the party should in all mots have the benefit of such
vague testimony as that of a ticket, of the description put in in evi-
dence by the dee nitwits, haring been left at the house of the per •
son sending pericts by anis easehre, without their showing that frt.
toittruir ur this ticket had actually come to the knowledge of that
person. lie bad always understood that it was necessary, in eases
of this kind, that the proof should go to this extent.
The Lopu Cuter J creme—Four own traveller said, in his
crool-examination, that the plaintiff, had been in the habit of re-
ceiving parcels by tide conch, and that notices hail often been left
wi:h thesis, but that !redid not remember having a notice gives to
him on his booking the mired in question.
Mr. C 011140,4 SI:IttIEANT-.-Bitt even supposing that the
knowledge of the novice had been breueht home to the
plaintiff., there was still this question to be answered—
' Could the notice from one principal to ano•her in Lohifon
be considered as incorporated in the contract made between
the two agents in the country ? The notice was from the comb-
office in London to the plaintiff/ in Cheapsitle. Whereas the par-
cel was delivered by the agent of the plaintiffs. in the country, to
rfte agent of the defendants, neither of whom knew anything about
the notice. If much a notice was to be considered as torinirg part
of the contract of the agents, then it would be competent tar hlr.
, Eanies to protect all proprietors of coaches which should in future
start from the White Horse, Fetter-lane, from their common law
liability, by merely giving a general notice.
The Lout) JUSTICE-1 think it was sufficiently.brought
home to the knowledge of the plaintiffs, that the proprietors would
not hold themselves liable for any parcel above N.. unless toped-
ally agreed upon. And I also consider that this notice to the prtut.
eipals was binding on the agents, and that therefore the rule must
be refused.
Mr. Justice BAYLET—In order to give the proprietors of coaches
the benefit of these notices, it is necessave that they should show
that the notice was known by the party claiming a compensation of
them. It has long been settled that notice to the principal is notice
to the agent. Now here is evidence that the notice was known tie
the principal, and that this notice cinatio,fiaieoniearned, awmhoungsthteoythheardtht,i,npagsr,
