4.IIERICAA METHODISTS.

The General Conference of the Methodist Church
met in this city cm the 6th inst. present Its mem-
bers. After trAnsacting a variety of business, they
elected a Bishop to P u pply the vacancy occasioned
by the death of the late pions and much-respected
Mr. Whatcoat, and yesterday morning Mr. M•lien-
tree was ordained, in the presence of one of the
largest congse,„retions that ever was collected in this
city. The Meeting-honse in Light-street ass
tilled nearly two hours previous to the hour of
itivetinn,, and as large a number returned home,
ant be"ing able to cater. as dame who were col-
lected.

Last year the Methodist Society consisted of
144,&40 mamba% The returns of this year are
121,687 whites, and 30,308 coloured, making a to-
tal of 151,995 members, and the, increase during
that period 7405 member.. The number of itinerant
in the Methodist Connection, at present,
amounts t 0542, :ill actively engaged in disseanuat-
gig the knowledge of the Gospel truth.
The General Convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church is also now assembled in Baltimore,
and, it is probable, that between these two bodies,
nearly 200 Ministers or the Gospel are at prteaent
engaged in devising the beat means, according to
their awn view., to diffuse throughout the United
States thut saving information which is the mo.t
powerful a lue to the perform:ince of all that is

This was a ropievin broeght to recover rods
taken under a disticss. It appeared that the
Plaintiff wine* publican, cud the u
brewer, who' 'hod given the Plaintiff a lease of a
public-bowie to 20 years, at it .4113.111 rent, iu con-
sideration that the Plaietiff should take his beer
from him, and in case at any time he ceased to
take it, he was to pay, as a forfeit, the additional
rent of 1001. u-year. It appeared in evidence, that
' the Dem:alma had served the Plaintiff with very
bad beer, oa • which he ceased to take any Imre
from hiin ; the Defendant, according to th.: clause
, in the lease, brought his distress, and levied on the
goods of the Plaintiff, and the present replevin was
for the recovery atheist.
Mr. ATiOR 1 EY-CiCM IRA I, Counsel for the
Plaintiff, coutelided that the chase had become
ouli and void when the Defendant ceased to serve
the Plaintiff with good beer ; the law would never
allow any clause to stand good in a lease or deed
that went to operate against justice ; it would be
itNninan to oblige u poor man, struggling for an
existeuce or living, to take an article that he could
not stAl, and to compel him, if he did not, to pay a
forfeiture of 1001. per annum ; he trusted that the
Jury would see the case in the ,4aine light as he did,
and gins a verdict for the Plaintiff:
Mr. GARROW, Counsel for the DEAnidtat, con-
tende.l that the beer had not been proved to be of
so bad a nature as not to be saleable, and that the
Plaintiff had never complained of it but once he-•
fore he discontinued taking it. He considered it
us a fraud of the publicans against the. brewers.
It was well known that free public-houses were, for
'the greatest part, the capital* of brewers; they let
them to men whom they actually set up in busineiw,
and it would he a great hardship on them, if the
publican, the moment he got comfortably settled,
should take his beer from a brewer that never had
as, him. Besides, the brewers, in these in-
stances, let their houses at a very small rent 14 en-
couragemeut ; in fact, the publican was only the
nominal agent of the brewer; and if he did any
thing to defeat that agency, it was but justice that
he should make a forfeiture. Under these con-
sideratmos, he felt confident the jury would give
a verdict for the Defendant.

Lord ELLBMIOROUGIII observed, that it was ha-
possible any clause could be intrnduced into a
lease, and could he considered valid, which went
to oblige the Plaintiff to take bad beer. He con-
ceived it IV 3,3 not for the p4'ilic interest that the
publican should be so much under the influence or
power of the brewer. The true question for the
Jury to consider was, whether the beer furnished
by the Defendant was bad ? and if they thought
the witnesses had sitbstantiated that fact, the next
question for their consideration wax, whether the
Plaintiff was not, in that case, justified in with-
drawing his custom from the Defendant ? If they
thooAt he was, they would give a verdict for the
Tha Jury, after it few minutes consideration,
retaraed a verdict for the Plaintiff; the amount
left to an arbitrator.
This pace having excited much interest amongst
the brewers and the publicans, the Court was most
iusrnoderately crowded, at an early hour, and the
publicans appeared, by their rejoicaug, to consider
the verdict of the Jury a complete victory gained
over the brewers.

NVIS.4NCE.
THY RUNG e.

Mr. ATIVIIMEY-GLNCRAL stated this case. He
observed it was an indictment against the Defend-
ant for a nuisance. In the latter end of the last
year he had erected a steam-engine, in Leather-
lane, in the neighbourhood of Hatton-garden,
which had become a complete nuisance to the in-
habitants; so much so, that nruiy families were
preparing to leave their houses. By the smoke
their furniture was spoiled, and their gardens
rnierd by the quantity of ashes or small coals
that fell ; besides, there was u continual 19019 e,
similar to that made alien a saw was setting.
The gentlemen who brought this prosecution had
no enmity to the I)efendant; they brought it in their
own defence, and in defence of their property. He
had been instructed to say, that when the Jury
went to look at the steam-engine, on Saturday last,
he could prove, that it did not burn with one-tenth
of the force it generally had done, a,ul that the
smoke was not by one-tenth so great. lie felt,
from the instruction before him, that the Jury,
snider the direction of the Court, must find the
Defendant guilty.
He then proceeded to examine the Witnesses.
Mr. William Berridge, Attorney, No. Chi, Hat-
ton-garden, deposed, that on the 17th of February
last the engine was set to work ; it adjoined the
end of his garden ; the back part of his house had
become quite black with the smoke. If the win-
dui", or doors were left open for a moment the
house would be full of smoke, which left a black
dust on the furniture and %ids.; of the rooms; he
had known • barbel of black coal dust to be
swept at once otf his garden ; since the pretreat
indictment bad been brought, •the nuisance was
not near so great. On Saturday, when the Jury
went to view it, the smoke was not by one-tenth
as much as it used to be; at the commencement

. .
of the working of the engine, it used to be accom-
panied with a strew.; solphitreous smell, and *ad
had such ass effect on the stritoess's mother, that
her health had become much impaired.
On his cross-eha aaa ill ation by Mr. Gnaere, he
said, that when the Jury were viewing the steam-
e.sgioe,. he had made many observations to them,
although he was a Prosecutor, was not ap-
P°
int a %hewer ; that there were two other en-
gines in the neiglihmsrliood, but they were much
h4her.and he 'lever felt any thing disagreeable from
them r that the Defendant's steam-engine was for
the purpose of grinding mrorils, and lime noise was
like two pieces of heavy metal rubbing waist
earls ot7,er. The witne.s had *wilted to have pur-
chased the groissid the en-,ire was built on, for the
purpoic of !sodding an office upon it.
