BETTING AT MANCHESTER—FRIDAY. ,
There was not a full meeting to-day, many of the sub.i
scribers having proceeded from Northampton to Crox-
ton-park, and the betting wa3 in a great measure con-
fined to the events decided there tc-clay. For the
Chester Cup the most noticeable feature was the down-
fall of Marc Antony, whose place is usurped by Scythian.,
There has been no change in either the Two Thousand or,
Derby beyond a still further improvement in the fa-
vourite, which is St. Hubert in each case. Latest

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 30.
THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY- COMPANY V. G. OGILVEY) OS •
COVE.—JDDGMENT.
Sir•F. Kelly and Mr. Rolt appeared far-the appel-
tauts„,and the Solicitor-General, -with Mr. Anderson,
represented-the respondents.,, , - ,-• • . ,
was an appear freni interlocutors pronounced hy,
the Court of Session in;Seotland in :in action brought by '
the railway ,company against the -respondent, for. 44.:,.
purpose of reducing and settingf-aside the verdict and - _
subkrfticif jaginent of the Sheriff in a case wherein a'
question of compensation was in issue for the injury
which the company bad done to the respondent's house
ad lands in the construction of their-railway: 'Under
She
authority of the Lauds 'Olanses Consolidation 'Act
the company took a certain portion of the respondent's
land,—and in his claim foicomperßation-the hater urged

so ono ground L.- large compensation the fact that-all
communication leading from his house and lands to the
high road had been cut off by the course of the railway,
except by passing over the railway itself on the " level, '
a mode of passage which, he contended, was attended
with much danger to himself, his family, and his friends.
It was likewise argued 'on his behalf that, there was a
larger amount of risk to be apprehended from the
alarm and fright which would be created on the shores,
which might.have to wait while the train was approach-
ing and passing the level crossing ; and, further, that the
said level crossing would greatly lessen the value of his
estate, in the event of its being put up for sale. The
amount of compensation claimed by the respondent was
2,5001., but the company offered 8001. only, whereupon
he made an appeal to a jury, who awarded him 3601. as •
the value of the land taken, and 5601. for the damage
done to the respondent's property by the level crossing
over the high road. The company thereupon instituted
their action to reduce and set aside this latter ending of
the jury, upon the ground that it was ultra vires of the
jury to find compensation in respect of the level crossing.
The Court of Session, however, pronounced in favour of
the respondent ; hence the present appeal. The case
hating been under argument a considerable part of Tues-
day, the whole of Thursday, and part of to-day. .
The Lord Chancellor, at the conclusion of the reply,
said he was clearly of opinion that the act had never
contemplated giving the power to award compensation
for injury inflicted to property by the cooctruction of
what were termed " level crossings" on a railway. He
would therefore advise and move that their lordships
should reverse the interlocutors of the Court below, and
allow the appeal.
Lord St. Leonards concurred.
Judgment entered accordingly.

REPORT OF THE CHURCH ESTATES COMIIISSION'ERS.—
This report appeared simultaneously with that of the
English Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The commissioners
state that they have directed the preparation of annuity
tables, adapted to carry out the provision in the Episco-
pal and Capitular Estates Acts (which prohibits calcu-
lations on tables less favourable to the expectation of
life than the life tables appended to the 12th annual re- '
port of the Registrar-General of Births, Marriages, and
Deaths), in order to facilitate the progress of enfranchise-
ment. The transactions approved by the Commissioners
since their last report exceeded both in number and
value those of the previous year. They have approved
the terms agreed on in 184 cases of sales ef rever-
sions, and in 34 cases for the purchase of leasehold
interests. The value in fee of the estates so agreed
to to be dealt with exceeds 900,0001. Acting nrider
the provision of the act of the session of 1854,
the commissioners have paid over to the common find
of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England' Std
Wales two sums of 100;000/. each in respect of the cur.
plus proceeds of enfranchisement, and on the final ad.
justment of all their transactions a further sum of con4'
siderable amount will become payable. The.general re-
sult of the proceedings under the act of 1811, from,
August in that year to the Ist of March, 1854, was that
the commissioners had approved the terms agreed in 3011•
cases, involving property of the value in fee o!,
1,400,0001., 1,400,0001., 'and also that the Ecclesiastical 'Commis-
sioners had made, during the same period, 312 stgree-)
ments, involving property of theyalne in fee 0f1,700,00014
so that the value of the church estates dealt with in the.
preceding two years and a half exceeded in the aggre.,-
gate 3,000,0001.

PATENT RECONNOITRING GLASSES.— Messrs. S. and B. Solo-
mous, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. observe
opposite the York Hotel. By her Majesty's Royal
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Rawl
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distanced
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 33/4 inches with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter'smoons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and,an object froml6 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing puwers accordingly ; while their vary.
ing from 4 to 6 inches enable us to discover more than the
aboVe and the Georgian, with his 6 satellites, &c.—The Royal
Exhibition, 1851.—Valuable, newly-invented, very small,
powerful waistcoat-pocket glass,the size of a walnut, by which
a person can be seen and known 1 3/4, miles distant ; they answer
every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses,
country scenery, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.
They arc invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera.
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power.--Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great-
est transparent power. The valuable advantage derived
from this invention is, 'that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened; and very aged persons are
enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu.
patios—can see with these lenses of a much less magnifyi
ing power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-
ness—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extracxrdi:
nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced,
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed; and it affords all the assist.
