The preparations for the Grand Fele, on Tuesday
last, which we slightly noticed yesterday, in honour
of the anniversary of His Royal Highnets the Prince
of W A Las's Birth-day. surpassed ev-e; preceding ex-
ertion. Utsward:i of 40;900 additional lamps, with
several hutsdred Supper tables, laid nut with all the
delcacies find lin piries of the season, were provided,
in honour of the Occasion. The heavy rains in the
course of the ev. Ming, cast a temporary damp upon
this superb err brtainment ; but, as the weather
cleared op, the firilliant preparations 'iced thou-
sands from eve, y (patter, to this et - ;Ong spot.
From an earl i hour in the evenin, until long
e'er twelve sr tiight, the company arrived in such
multitudes, th a even the four additional entrances
were scarcely Suffi,:ittit Ibr their admission ; and
before the firs' , aft of the concert was nearly finished,

brilliancy, 0 ad decorated with all appropriate em-

bands of n ;;laic were augmented, and an entire new

...' LAW INTELLIGIiNCI.-• ..
COURT OF CHANCERY, Linvoteit-lan. A1,9E31.111.
---? .
In the Matter of lIERKLILY, a &area.
This WAS an application by some of the creditors
of the Bankrupt, praying his Lordship to order the
Assignee of the Bankrupt's estate, to sell a certain
merchant sh;n, in which the Bankrupt had a share.
It appeared, that one Crowe had a one-sixth share
in the ship in question ; the Bankrupt had a moiety
of full half, and Gunning, the Assignee, had the re-
mainder. Gunning Afterwards purchased Crowe'.
share of one sixth, and then became joint owner with
the B inkrupr, whirwas also indebted to him in a sum
of money, and having becOme a br.hkrnpt, Gunning
now claimed a hen upon the s}r for that sum, and
therefore refused to sell her.
Messrs RICHARDSON and HART, for the Assig-
nee, contended, that, by a written agreement between
these patties, this ship became a co-partn-rship affair
between--them, and it was stipulated that no one
should sell his share without the other's concurrence,
and then the ship was to he sold at Sunderland, and
the balance equally divided. On tl.ese grounds,
they contended the Assignee lad tin power of dis-
posng of the ship in question, and his lien upon her
held good.
The Soiterroa-Genteat., on the other hand,
contended, that no such deed or argument could
stand against the demandrot fair and boos fide cre-
ditors for just debts, and tlat such deed was a fraud
against the Naval Pal-i, and all the principles of the
Bankrupt Laws.
The Loan Cdc•tectstost having taken a retro-
, spelt of the Biakriipt Laws, and adverted to Lord
Liverpool's AEI for the regulation of shipping, ob-
served, that a ship chandler, sr eventl e man who
might have repaired the vessel from a wreck, to be a
complete, staunch, and sea-worthy ship, could not
' have a lien upon her, against a Commission of Bank-
ruptcy. Bet before he would entirely decide the
case, he wished to examine the Deed, and accord-
ingly deferred his judgment for a future day.
fa .the aaa4er of-WM. RYDRII, a Boahrope.
This was an application co supersede the Com;
mission, or permit the Petitioner to claim and prove
hit debt under the Commission. This was grounded
on a charge of fratrd against the party ; first, in
taking out the Commission against the Bankrupt, as
a merchant at Manchester, instead of London ; se-
condly, in appointing one Nightingale, the assignee,
he being no creditor, and.only an Accountant at
' Manchester ; and lastly, for selling the Bankrupt's
I house, situated in London.'at a sale in Manchester.
On the other hand it was contended, that the
Bankrupt war a trader at Manchester, as well as
London, but did not ow. a sitfiwient sum of money
I a the latter place to enable the creditor to sue out a
ofie•-.,;;;;;i1.= LI I.4l*ruptcy there. Mr. Nightingale
was al:editor to some amount, and being an ac-
countat,k, and consequently conversant with those
kind of transaßions, he was chosen by a majority of
the creditors ; and with respe4 to the house, it was
sold in the regular way, with the other pope' ty of
the Bankrupt. • :
The Loan CHANCELLOR could not see any
for superseding the Commission, but die duit
the Petitioner might be at liberty to prove illioilebt
unties, such Commission. ,st.r4 -4 • -.

Yesterday, a smart little boy, than=
nine years of age, was brought before the LORD
MAYOR. by a respettable efierly lady, his God-
mother, with whom the boy lived, for the purpose
of obtaining a seinoces for the appearance of a
Waterman, who had defrauded the child. The
std Lady said, that the boy bad left her house on &a-
turday morning, having fit st taken out of her p ra-
ft her purse, cprrtaining between fourteen and
fifteen pounds. She was much frightened at the
absence of the child, and had several persons in 11
search of him the entire of Saturday, but could not I
beat bf him until very late in the evening. when
she learned that a gentleman who keeps a toy shop
had stepped him, in consequence of his offering a
51. note in payment for some toys. The boy, when
he was brought home, had but one 51. note and
eleven shillings in his possession. and on her ques-
tioning him what he had done with the remainder
of the money, which consisted of another Sl. notes
a 11. note, two guineas, and a seven shillings piece.
he told her he had spent it all, and Mated the par-
ticulars ; one of which was, tha' he had taken a
boot down the River. as far as Blackwall and back
.
again. In payment for this, be gave the ‘‘ merman
a el. note, and received fro-n him in change Its.
The Lady therefore wished to have a summons for
the Waterman, the namber of whose boat the boy
fortunately remembered.
The Loan MA von desired the boy to give an ac-
Venni of the manner he had spent the money i
The child, accordingly, stated. with great per-
spicuity and composure,that when he took the money
out of his mother's pocket, he went to a confec-
tioner's shap, and had some pastry, tor which he was
to pay four-pence. In payment for this he gave a
seven shillings piece, and, he believed, he got the
change right enough. He then went to a toy-shop,
and bought a guinea's worth of toys, for which he
gave in payment a gooses. Next he went to Covent
Garden market, and had a pottle of mulberries, for
which he gave a shilling and two-pence. He then
bott4ht more toys; and more pa-try ; then a pair of
s.!ioes, which cost him six shillings ; and finally. he
went to Hungerford-stairs, and there hired a boat.
The boatman first asked him if he had any money ?
and he sheered him he had plenty, and desired the
boatman to take him to London Bridge and back
again. The man, however, did not mind his direc-
tions, but tnok him to Blackwall, and back again.
In payment, he gave him a 51. note, and rtcetved
in change eleven shillings; the man,

To a question put by the Loch MAYOR, the boy
said, he did not loi.k at the note he had given t 3
the boatman ; and the only reason he had for saying
it was a 51. 'note, was, that having sent the only
11, note Hs mother had in her pricier, that which
he gave Ole man must, of course, have been a five.
The Lout) MAYOR direfted that the man should

to stop the payment r..f the note at the pink, as by
teat meens it might be traced.
