after baring praised Marshal Macdonald for having first proposed
the indemnity for the emigrants, he contended that the proposed
measure was for the interests of all parties, and thought that many
proprietors of national property would surrender it and take the
indemnity instead. He finished with crying, " Ylte le Bei !"

" The holidays, I am happy to say, have passed over as
quietly as usual, and the negroes never appeared more
cheerful and contented. It is pleasing also to observe, that
the excitement and restless feeling produced by the ru-
rooursof ameliorations and change% about to be introduced,
and artfully misrepresented by evil-minded persons, have
entirely subsided, and given place to a more willing obe-
dience to, and satisfaction with, the existing order of society.
The weather is still exceedingly dry, and the crops will be
very abort."
Mrs rece—There is a third Publican Mexican Mine
Association formed, under the direction of the most re-

Company is the " Biscaina and Moran Mine Association,"
upon which rich and celebrated veins there are several
mines already secured for this Company, by an English
gentleman, holding a high military rank in the Mexican
service; and as some of them are now free from water,
operations will be immediately comtnenced upon the arrival

MR TING of the CLERGY ORPIIAN CORPORATION.

Yererday the Anniversary Meeting of the Society for Clothing,
Maintaining. and Educating Poor Orphan Children of Clergymen
of the Established Chap+ of Engl end, until of age to be put
apprentice, was holden at the Freemasons' Tavern.
The Right Hon. and Right Rev. President (the Lord Bishop
of London), not having arrived at the pedal fixed for the corn.
mencetnent of the general business, the Right Bev. the Bishop of
Chkheater was voted to the Chair, sad after the objegm of the
Meeting had been stated, the petitions in behalf of the applicants
for admission to the Institution, were read by the Secretary. The
following am the names of thos whom cases had heen under the
consideration of, and which were recommended by, the Com-
mittee
Marshall, George, aged 8 Chrienan, Henry Edmund I 2

During the reading of the petitions the Right Hon. end Right
Rev. Preeident entered, and apologised to the Meeting for the
I.atenevs orris arrival, but had to state that indispensible public
.bueinees elsewhere had been the cause of his detention.
. The petitions having been gone through, it was unanimously
voted, that the whole of the above fourteen applicants be placed
upon the lists of the Corporation. The regulations of the Society
admitting the proposition of sixteen candidates, two additional pe-
titions were now presented ; one of which was rejected on account
of the age of the applicant, end the other referred to the considers.
tion of the Committee.
A let et was then sad by the Secretary, from the Rev. Mr.
Spence, near Kilshy, in Lincolnshire, containing donations to the
amount of 1801. with the list of the donors, and expressing the
interest which wee felt in promoting the views of so excellent an
Institution, wherever its inbeence and views had been made known
In that country; hat regretting at the same time that this know-
ledge was not sailkiently exModed, and streronusly recommending
the appointm,nt of district cesnmittees as the most eligible mode
for the furtherance of its laudable purposes. The statements and
propositions contained in this letter came warmly recommended by
the Archdeacon of Lincoln. ....
The PARSIDINT, who expressed his high pedant*, at the
letter which had just been read, moved the thanks of is vaimilag go
the Archdeacon alk4l Clerge of Lincolnshire, forhaving so aosimaly
and successfully seconded the views of the Society, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Another donation, amounting to NIL was announced by the Se-
cretary, collected in the county of Sarre:; this sulacription, it
was woad/ had been much promoted through the exertions of the
Bishop of Chichester.
The Paast DIENS moved the thanks of the meeting to the Bishop
of Chichester, which was unanimously canted.
Thcßishop of CaICHEITER disclaimed, on his own part, any
merit en the occlusion which entitled him to their thanks ; but they
were duo, in a peculiar degree, to the Rev. Mr. Davidson, to whose
zeal and activity, in co-opmenon with that of other Gentlemen who
had engaged in the good cause, they were indebted for the gratify-
ing result which had been announced to them.
Thanks were then voted to Mr. Davidson. and the other Gentle-
men who had so meritoriously exerted themselves in promoting
the viewslof the Society.
The PRESIDENT congratulated the meeting on the very grati-
fying announcements which had been made, of the successful real
displayed in the country on behalf of the Society. A proposi.
tion had been made, that a statement of the result of the exertions
made in Lincolnshire anti Sussex be communicated to other parts
of the country ; and it had also been suggested that the appoint.
ment of District Committees would be leghly beneficial. In his
opinion, it would be most advisable to refer to the consideration of
the Committee, what line of conduct it would be best to adopt. It
bad been justly stated, that the Society was not sufficiently known ;
it would be most desirable that this should be obviated. It was evi-
dent that in those districts where the nature of the Institution had
been properly communicated, there had been great readiness evinced
to support it ; but for this they had been indebted to the zeal and
ability of some individual of character and !oftener who had taken
a warm interest in the Institution ; and this would kept in view
by the Committee In their ulterior measures.
A Resolution to the following effect was then moved, and car-
ried unanimously :
That the subject of District Committees, for the purpose of
aiding the views of the Society, be referred to the Committee and
that they be empowered to take such steps as they tray think
proper to that effect.
The PRESIDENT announced a donation of 791., being the pro-
ceeds of a work written by the late Peter Waldo, Esq. and remitted
to the Society by his widow, Mrs. Waldo, who had been a most
liberal benefactem,to the Institution; indeed, the names of Mr.
slid Mn'. Waldolliid ever been connected with all that was pious
and charitable; be should therefore move that the special thanks of
the Meeting be given to Mrs. Waldo.—Carried unanimously.
After some further routine matters had been disposed of, the
general business of the day closed, and the party retired to dinner,
which was prepared for them in the Freemasons Tavern.

THE GA Jr E LAWS.
The Bill brought in by Mr. Stuart Wortley, " to amend the
Laws for the Preservation of Gione," has been printed. The pre.
amble sets fmth that " the laws now in being, prohibiting persona
under a certain degree or rank, and not possessing estates of a
certain annual value, from killing game, and nvking it penal to
buy or sell game, have been found to be impolitic and inconvenient,
and in many cases oppressive and unjust; and it is expedient to
repeal certain pans of the same, and to establish other provisions
in lieu thereof."
The Bill then proceeds to repeal " so much and such parts of
any Acts now in force for the preservation of hares, pheattaits,
partridges, black game, grouse, heath and moor game, es restrain
persons under such degree or rank, and not possessing such estates,
as in the said Acts respectively arc specified, from killing, or
having in their possession, game, and as impose any penalty upon
persons who, not being qualified in such manner as is prescribed by
such Acts or any of then, shall pursue, take or destroy game, or
have game in their pouession, or keep or use any gun, dog, net,
snare, or other engine for the destruction of game; and also so much
and such parts oflany Acts now in force as prohibit the buying or
selling of game, or as impose any penalty upon persons buying or

ease the lords of manors are entitled to the game.

COURT OF CHANCERY, TwoAi. FAA 22.

IFERWITOLT lIIIKET.
The LOAD CNA wc xxLOl stated, that the question in this cause
arose en the condition of s bond given by Daniel Birket to Thomas
Newman and another, that if a marriage, then intended by him,
took effect, and there shculd be issue, the sum of 20001- should
be paid to trustees, upon trust for the family, and if there was no
issue, then 'YOU ; and for the payment of other sums of money
on several contingencies therein get out ; that the question was,
what the widow was entitled to have cut of the prooerty of the hus-
band under the latter provisions of the bond,- and the Chancellor
declared, that he did not consider the payment of 1000!., the
amount of the penalty in the bond, could be taken is satisfaction
of the provision meant to be made by the condition. It was a
question whether certain assignments of property made by the hus-
band in his lifetime, could be taken in satisfaction of the bond, and
whether the papers before the Court could be taken to be testa-
mentary dispositions, and whether they were to stand in the way of
an execution of the condition of the bond ? also, whether the resi-
duary legatee was to bear the whole burthen, or the other legatees
were to contribute their proportion ? Be would only this day de-
termine that the bond was only to be considered as a collateral se-
curity for the performance of the agreement recited in it, and he '
would give final judgment to morrow morning.

TURNER V. HATDON •ND ANOTHER.
This was an action to recover the amount of two bins of cx-
change.
Mr. PAREE stated the case to the Jury.
The plaintiff was a wholesale draper, residing in Cheapside.
The bills in question had been accepted by the defendants, anti
indorsed to the pleintilf. Ones( the bills was drawn for 361. pay-
able 41, the 21st of August, 1824, and the other for 601. 6e. 6d.
pa able on the 31st of the same month. The defence which, he
understood, was intended to be set up to this action was, that the
plaintiff had nett presented the bills to the defendants for payment
when due. The only question, therefore, was, whether the de-
fendants were discharged from their acceptance by the plaintiff
not having presented the bills in proper time ? He apprehended
this question was rather one for his Lordship's judgment than for
the decision of the Jury. 1f the bills had been accepted payable
only at a particular place, then it would certainly have been the
duty of the phtiniff to have preseated them, in order to entitle
him to recover ; but the acceptances were general,: therefore he was
under no such obligation.
Mr. SCARLITT said, that it was his duty to state some facts
which had not been mentioned by his Learned Friend. The fact
was, that the bills were specially accepted by the defendants, and
made payable at the late banking-house of Messrs. etracey and
; that the defendants had funds there to answer the bills ; that
they would have been paid if presented when due, but that the
plaintiff neglected so to present; and, that the banking-house
having failed, in so doing the plaintiff had made the bills his own,
and had no right to call on the defendants for the amount.
The Lout) CHIEF JUSTICE—When did these bills become
due 2

Mr. PAIRE—On the 21st and 3lst of August.
LORD CillEr JUITICR—What is the meaning of these me.
morandums on the bill, the 21st and 31st of September ?
Mr. Penns—These dates were put down by the holders of the
bill, as the time when they became due, and hence arose the
mistake in not presenting the bills.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I thuught it was usual to note
down on a bill the time when due.

Joseph Oolightly was a clerk is the late banking-house of
Messrs. Marsh and Co. Messrs. flaydon and Co. were in the he-
bit of keeping cash with them. Had with them on the 21st of
August 1921. 6s. ; that balance continued till the 31st of August.
Messrs. Marsh and Co. continued to pay till the 13th of Septem-
ber ; had at that time effects of Messrs. Hayden and Co. to the
amount of 1921. 3s. 6d.
The Lotto CutEr JUSTICE—Did this balance of Messrs
Ilaydon and Co. remain in their hands during the intervening
time I—Yes.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What was the lowest sum in their
hands during this time I—Not much less than 1001.
Mr. SCARLETT—If this bill had been presented, would it have
been paid 7—Undoubtedly.
The LORD CII/Zr JUSTICE—The only question here is, whe-
ther the defendants were discharged by the not presenting when the
bills fell due? Will you have a special case, Mr. Parke
Mr. PARER—It will be sufficient to have the point argued on
motion.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE accordingly directed the Jury to
find for the plaintiff furl W. Is. 6d., subject to the judgment of the
Cour:.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.
_ ......___

STEADMAN S. DAYOSS.
Mr. Hilo 1.:13/1A1t stated the case. The defendant was a very re-
spectable and wealthy innkeeper in the city of London, and the
plaintiff had served ham faithfully for a number of years in the ca-
pacity of bar-maid, The parties had arrived at that period of life
that he should not have to call their attention to romantic feeling,
such as false vows of plighted love ; but, nevertheless, the injury
sustained by this poor woman was very extensive. The defendant
was a widower, and had kept the Ours Tavern in Lower Thames-
street, until, for the purpose of improvement, it was necessary that
the house should be taken down, and, on that occasion, the defen.
dant got 10,000 f. as an indemnity for it, under the improvement
Act. This verdict was obtained principally upon the evidence of
the plaintiffherself. The defer.dant was upwards of 50 years, and
the plaintiffmore than 10 years of age ; and a brother of the defen.
dant had previously married a sister of the plaintiff': and upon the
plaintiff leaving the (,lun Tavern, he made proposals of marriage
to the plaintiff, who was a maiden lady. The offer was accepted by
her, the license was obtained, and the ring bought. The defen.
dant, however, from time to time, made excuses for postponing the
marriage, and at length, on being pressed one day upon the sub.
ject, he assured the plaintiff that she had no reason to make herself
the least uneasy upon the subject ; yet it would be proved that on
the very morning he gave this assurance. he had purchased a li.
cense for the purpose of being married to a younger and a richer
lady, which marriage very shortly afterwards took place, by which
the plaintiff was exposed to the scorn and indignation of the world.
She suffered materielly in her health in consequence, and, without
saying any thing to inflame the can; he would prove the facts, and
that would entitle him to their verdict. lie cared not what excuse
the defendant might set up—he had made the plaintiff's promise of
marriage, that promise he had broken, and, for the breach Of it, the
plaintiff was entitled to reparation in damages.
Seeeral witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff;
to prove the facts stated by the Idearnea Counsel in his opening
speech.
In his charge to the Jury, the Loner CIIIEP JUSTICE observed
that if they were satisfied that the promise of marriage had been
given, the plaintiff was entitled to such moderate damages as
would satisfy the justice of the ave.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages tire
hundred pounds.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Tursimr, Fts. 22.

Pdpurned Sittings, before the exisr JUSTICE and a Common
POLDER V. HARPER.
This wan an action to recover the sum of 141. lent by the plain-
tiff to the defendant, on the security of a check on the house of
Chambers and Co. It appeared that when it wag presented for pay-
ment a few days after, it was dishonoured, oa account of tin date
having been omitted. Shortly after this the house of Chambers
and Co. became bankrupt. It 'also eppeared that the defendant
had, after the dishonour of the ehec;k, promised payment of the
loan, but having failed therein, the plaintiff now brought his ac-
tion.
His Lordship, under the anthorisy of a cue in 6 Xfoorit's Re-
ports, directed the Jury to ficd •verdict for the plaintiff; on the
ground that the defendant had freaked payment after payment of
the cheek had Men refined-
Verdict for the plain,iff--Damages 1111.

OILMAN v. azatirsog.
This was an action to recover the value of a quantity of goods
supplied on the order of a person aho had generally acted as the
defendant's agent. Evidence was produced to that effect.
The defence was, that the defendant had not received the whole
of the goods, and that he had not given any specific orders concerns
log them to his agent.
The CHIEF JUSTICE hekl that the defendant was here bound
by the action of his agent; but it was finally egreed that a special
verdict should be taken, subject to an argument before the Court.
Two other cases only were heard in the course of the day, and
those of no public intt-est.
When about to break up; on account of the length of the suc-
ceeding causes, the Clams. JuSTICE asked whether the Court of
King's Bench usually left %Ming at three o'clock
To which Mr. Sergeant Vauct Beg replied, that it wu haff-past
three, and that the Court of King's Bench had nearly a hundred
causes to go through.
The Curler JUSTICE—It is of no consequence to me at what
hour we break up ; but pealuips the occasion of there being so few
causes here is. that gentlemen get through so few in the day.
The Court then broke up at three-and-twvay minutes past

Mr. HALLS, at one period of the examination, expressed his
deterrd!nation to adopt the milder course of committing the pri-
soner for the fraud, although, he observed, the circumstances
I would justify him in committing for the (constructive) felony in
stealing the goods. After some conversation however with the
Solicitor for the prosecution, the Magistrate altered his &tenni-
nation and committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial for the
felony.
A gentleman, who stated himself to be second son to the late
Sir George Dunbar, stepped forward before the prisoner was re-
moved from the bar, and begged that the Magistrates would allow
him to state publicly that the prisoner was no relation whatever
to his family. She was quite unknown to them. He had seen a
statement in the public papers in which she was described as tho
daughter of Sir George Dunbar, and he hoped that hie unqualified
contradiction of that assertion would find its way to the public
through the same channel.

Yesterday Daniel Totter, a fireman in the Hope Insurance
Company, and Samuel South, a pewterer and beer engine maker,
in Bride's-lane, Illackfrian, were brought up for final examination
before Mr. BEXITT and Mr. Osaortur, the Magistrates; Mr.

house which had been burned in North-street, City-road, on the
evening of the 6th inst. a quantity of afire', and South was charged
with receiving the same, well knowing it to be stolen.
Evidence was given to show that South, immediately on his
arrest, gave* full acconnt of hie possession of the metal, and his
I employer offered hail for his appearance. After some conversation
' between the parties he was put in the witness-box, and Trotta
was finally ecunuitted for trial, and the parties bound over to pro.
