LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS COURT.—Nov. 6.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
CROUCH V. HOOPER.
. His Honour gave judgment in this case, which came
before the court previous to tho long vacation on ex-
ceptions to the Master's report. The subject matter in
dispute was a sum of money in court, and another large
sum which had been paid out of court, amounting in the
whole .to 180,0001., the property of a person named
Charles Crouch, who died, while of unsound mind, in
1830. The plaintiff claimed to he one of the next of
kin of the deceased, and the Mester had reported that
she was not one of the next of kin. Charles Crouch,
the intestate, was the son of Charles Crouch, a planter
of Antigua, who sent his son to England about the year
1770, consigning him to the care of Messrs. Bodd. ington,
his correspondents in London. The father died in 1773,
leaving all his property to his son. in 1794 Chas. Crouch
became of unsound mind, and in 1801 a commission de
lunation inquirendo was issued, which declared him to
have been insane since 1794. The usual advertisements
were issued for the next of kin, but none claimed, and
nothing further took place till 1830, when Charles
Crouch died. Some time afterwards, a suit, " Cox v.
Cox," was instituted in this court by persona claiming
to be the next of kin, ex materna, under which a large
sum had been paid out of court to the claimants in that
snit. In 1847 the present plaintiff tiled her bill, claim-
ing as next of kin, ex paterna, alleging that Charles
Crouch, the father, was the son of Thomas and Eliza-
beth Crouch, who resided at Purbright, in Surrey, pre-
vious to 1728. 1 lis Honour then entered into a minute
examination. of the evidence on which the claim was
founded, which ho considered failed to prove that Charles
Ccouch, of Antigua, was a son of Thomas Crouch. A
copy of a letter, which it was alleged had been received
from Antigua, and which had been relied on as proving
the relationship, he considered as not being genuine, and
was in fact a fabricated document. The exceptions
must be therefore overruled, and the petitioners must
pay the costs.

We have received the iari; journals of yesterday,
which owing to the stormy state of the weather were
delayed. They contain no news of importance.
The Prince President of the Republic has addressed
a letter to the Duchess de Gramont, full of the most
affectionate sentiments, in which he says that, in-
formed too late of the time at which the funeral of
Count d'Orsay, her brother, was to take place, he
much regretted that he could not send his household
to attend, as a feeble mark of the grief he felt at the
loss of one of his best friends.

The Mon iteur of this day says—" The Ministerial
crisis, which has lasted for upwards of a fortnight in
Belgium, has prevented the Belgian PlenipotentiarWs

about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion tor operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery. '—John iselPs Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such a .re cases ix., xi., and xviii. No, ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitu.ion,and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, both
in duratio', severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Synae, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1852.

Thank GOD! England is at length rid of the Whig
Government. The blundering audacity of Earl GREY,
the " financial imbecility" of Sir
CHARLES WOOD,
the hankering of Lord JOHN RUSSELL after finality,
the respectable but antiquated abilities of the Mar-
quis of LANSDOWNE, the hesitating and fitful projects
of Sir FRANCIS BARING, the obsolete and nearly
fabulous popularity of Lord BROUGHTON DR GYFFORD,
the shortcomings, the arrogance, and the nepotism_
all the various and most evil characteristics
of the Whig Cabinet have at last terminated,
and the country is no longer cursed by an
inc"aP4ent, andjn twanajiy instances a thoroughly
retrogressive Administration. Anything was pre-
ferable to a continuance of the late Ministry. The
people were sick of it. Whatever confidence it may
have possessed at the outset had long since dwindled
away, if it was not already for the most part utterly
forgotten. During six years we had endured—not
without complaining, however, it must be acknow-
ledged—the miseries consequent upon having states-
men in power who subordinated the considerations of
principle to the consideraiioas of place, and who sacri-
ficed the sacred Cf(119,!: of liberality to the influence of
aristocratic predilections. Insomuch was this the
case, after a little while, that family interest became
the presiding and actuating motive of the First Lord
of the Treasury. The PRIME Ntieistea went lower,
almost imineisureably lower than his celebrated pro-
totype in political (leecdence. After giving up to

the following most satisfactory report of the conduct of
the Royal Marines of the squadron, under his command.
who have recently re-embarked from service with the
army on the Cape frontier:—
" ' Lieutenants Harris and Reed, with the Royal Ma-
rines of the squadron, have been attached to the 73d
Regiment, and in all the patrols and operations against
the Kafirs their gallantry, endurance of fatigue and dis-
cipline have been the praise of the whole army, and I
feel it particularly my duty to represent such conduct to
their Lordships.
„And I have very great pleasure in requesting that
you will be pleased to make this mark of their Lordship's
approbation known in public orders, at the division under
your command.
" I also transmit the copy of an order issued by his

GERMANY.

In the sitt;Gg of the first Chamber, at Berlin, on
the 17th, a motion was brought forward, declaring
that the preservation of the Provincial Diets was
contrary to law ; this motion gave rise to a debate, in
the course of which the President of the Council
used the following language :
"It has been said that the Ministry ought to resign.
For my part, Gentlemen, I should be most happy to do
so, for is is no pleasure to sit on this bench. But, I
declare to you, I do not sit here in virtue of the resolu-
tion of a party or of even a majority. I em in this
poition, because I am placed in it by hi 3 Majesty's
commands; and I shall maintain it as long as the King
orders me."
The discussion was then adjourned to the next day.

occasioned by Drury-lane Theatre will he 91d. in the

on which the dividend will be declared, and of which the

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETLI.—.
XX. Mr. HO WARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has in-
troduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly resemble the natural teeth, as,not to be distinguished from the
originals by the closest observer ; they will never ehange colour or'
decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used;
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and
is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication,

ADELPHI

THEATRE.

Mira . the most comprehensive, unaffected,
and charming of our actresses, made her re-appearance
last
evening, after her late indisposition, as Phoebe, in
'au/ Pry, and was received with the enthusiasm due to
r deservedly uniiersal and fascinating a favourite.
The burlesque of Little Red Riding flood continues to
maintain its hold on public favour. We would, toge-
ther with the talented critic' in the Morning Chronicle,
"Call attention to Mr. Honey's admirable performance
of Grimbold— a morcsau which, in its way, 'we have
never seen equalled." Strong as this establishment is in
the comic line, Mr. Honey is decidedly its soundest male
t'tedian, and the management will yet find him to
u° its Ring, as Miss Woolgar is its Queen. of Trumps.
The origin of Poole's comedy of Yazd Pry is not per-
bslzt generally known. Its construction was suggested
'the author in the following manner:—
„
An old lady, living in a narrow street, had passed so
mach of hes time in watching the affairs of her neigh-
i
rittrs, that she acquired the power of distinguishing the
• rund of every krocker within hearing. She fell ill, and
• !Its confined to her bed. Unable to observe in person
'nu was going on without, she stationed hei maid at
the window, as a substitute, for the performance of that
duty,
"Betty, what are you thinking about? Don't you
bear a double knock at No. 9? Who is it?

. _
" ' The first floor lodger, ma'am. , .
"'Betty, Betty! I declare I must gime you warning.
why don't you tell me what that knock is at No. 54?'
1" Why, Lord! ma'am, it is only the baker with,pies:
'Pies, Betty, what cm they want with pies at 54?
467 had pies yesterday.' "
Wright's Paul Pry is allowed to be the best since Lis-
t°ll'B. It is reported that this popular performer is
' Ilbont to transfer his services to Oxford-street.

Accounts from Madrid of the 18th inst. state that
accompanied by the KING, has paid her
intended N
enCtEdEviisit to the Church of Atoche, and that her
MAJESTY 'was received with enthusiasm by the
People. Sbe left the palace at halt-past two amidst
salutes of artillery ; she was preceeded by 20 young
females dressed in white, with garlands of flowers
and a band of music. After them were the grandees
of Spain in their carriages, followed by 12 other car-
riages
with four horses each, containing the officers
of the QUEEN'S household. Next came the carriage
of the INFANTE DON FRANCISCO DE PAULO, the
father of the KING, with an escort of cavalry. Their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess DE MONT-
PENSIER followed, in a carriage, which was much re-
marked for ita elegance, and immediately after this
was a carriage of the QUEEN, containing her MA.
JUICY, the KING, the Princess Royal, and her nurse.
The QUEEN held the Princess in her arms. On the
whole line of the procession the houses were deco-
rated, and the balconies filled with elegantly dressed
persons. When the QUEEN'S carriage appeared,
there was a perfect shower of flowers thrown from
the balconies.
No Bourse on the 18th.

On the preceding day the Clamor Public°, the
Constitutionnel, the Nacionol, the Novidades, the
