BAIL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.)
LORD HO\VDEN V. SIR JOHN SIMPSON AND OTHERS.
Mr. ADDISON moved fin- a rule to show cause why
the defendants should not be at liberty to prosecute a
uric of error before the House of Lords without giving
bail. In this case an action had been brought in the
Court of Queen's Bench by Lord Howden against Sir
John Simpson (then Lord Mayer of York) and others,
to recover 5,0001. on a contract entered into by them as
directors and managers of the York and North Midland
Railway Company. This agreement was made in order
to purchase off his Lordship's opposition to the bill, and
a question arose as to its legality. Pleas were pleaded
to raise the question, and upon demurrer to these pleas
the Court of Queen's Bench decided that the contract
was invalid, and the Court gave judgment for the
defendants. Upon that a writ of error was
brought to the Exchequer Chamber, where
the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench
was reversed. The defendants now wished to
bring the writ of error before the House of
Lords, to have the judgment of the Exchequer Cham-
ber renewed. The application was not made for the
purpose of delay, but bonafide with a view to have the
question tried.

His Lordship granted a rule Nisi, intimating that
must be discussed in the other Court.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, No. 4, Argyll-place,
Regent-street, and No. 28, Ironmonger-lane, Cheapside, may
be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the Morning until Ten at
Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis with that deli-
cacy and secrecy they have hitherto observed. The treatment
they pursue is the result of twenty-two years' extensive and
successful practice in London, and will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Seminal weakness, Gonor-
rhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so prevaleot,
are treated upon those unerring principles which have insured
to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of public patronage,
and which it will be their future exertion to maintain.
N. B.—Letters, post paid, enclosing a fee, will be answered
by return, and country patients corresponded with until re-
covery.

MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA,
LETTER FROM SIR JAMES MURRAY

TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE LONDON

MEDICAL SOCIETY.
Gentlemen, —ln April last your enlightened Society
honoured me by a vote of thanks for my discovery of the pro-
cesses for preparing and concentrating Fluid Magnesia, and
separating from it Gypsum, Lime, Silicia, and other impurities,
which abound in common and Calcined Magnesia.
Although these processes required thirty years' attention, and
immense expense, to reach perfection, yet certain retail drug-
gists, and others, suddenly substituteimitations of their own,
without any experience or knowledge of my recent improve-
ments.

As such substitutions are calculated to bring the name of
Fluid Magnesia into disrepute, I feel it a duty to my profession
and the public to sustain the merits and credit of the genuine
concentrated solution.
I return you thanks, Gentlemen, for assisting my efforts in
establishing this elegant preparation. I request you to name
" Murray's Fluid Magnesia" in your prescriptions, and to
order it from the authorized agents, to avoid the dangerous risk
of adulteration.
I have the honour to be, Gentleman, your obedient servant,

DOYLE V. WRIGHT.

Mr. K. BRUCE, understanding that it was His Ho-
nour's intention not to leave town before Tuesday
se'nnight, had to request he would appoint some day in
the next week, when be might call the attention of the
Court to this case. The subject matter related to a
young gentleman connected with a Noble Roman Ca-
tholic family, and the cause of the necessity for men-
tioning the case to the Court was a difference which
existed between the mother and the uncle of the young
gentleman, who was the heir presumptive to the Earldom
of Shrewsbury.
His HONOUR appointed Wednesday next, at eleven
o'clock to hear the case.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

Last evening Ricci's delightful comic opera of Scaramuccia
was produced at this theatre with the most triumphant success,
Mr. Stansbury taking the part of Scaramuccia, vice Mr. Leffler.
The scene of this opera is laid in Paris during the reign of
Louis XIV., at which period Scaramuccia was the poet
and director of an Italian operatic company in that
city. Elinor (Miss Tyrer), the daughter of Anselmo
( Mr. Bender), a farmer of San Quintino, having eloped from
home, Tomaso (Mr. M. W. Balfe), his servant, goes in search
of her to Paris, where he finds Scaramuccia, whom he
has formerly known, and in whose company Sandrina
(Miss Rainforth), a former village love of Tomaso's, is
prima donna. Tomaso having expended all his money,
enrols himself in the company of Scaramuccia, which is en-
gaged to perform at grand fete at the residence of the Count de
Pontigny (Miss Collett) for the amusement of a lady, who is
resident at his villa, under rather suspicious circumstances.
The performance at the villa consists of an ad-
mirable burlesque on the story of Paris and Helen,
Lelio (Mr. Frazer) one of the actors of the company
representing Paris, Sandrina being Helen, and Tomaso
enacting Menelaus. In this character he is recognised by the
lady who turns out to be Elinor,and jumps from the stage to rescue
het: from the Count ; ultimately Anselmo arrives accompanied
by Count Pontigny's uncle. The Count is united to Elinor
and Tomaso to the coquette Sandrina, and all ends happily.
The music is very light and pretty. A trio in the first act,
" Pray thee, why thus gay attired," delightfully executed by
Balfe, Frazer, and Miss Rainforth, was most deservedly ho-
noured with an encore; as was the song, " They bind
with costly pearls my brow," sung by Miss Rain-
forth, with a harp accompaniment at the commencement of the
second act. This last is a most beautiful melody, which we
expect will become amazingly popular. It is decidedly
the gem of the opera. There were also some admirable
specimens of burlesque singing and acting by Balfe and
Miss Rainforth, which received, as they deserved, thun-
ders of applause. The whole getting up of this opera
reflects the highest credit on all concerned, and it was
announced for repetition without a dissentient voice. At the
conclusion of the Opera, in obedience to the call of the audi-
ence, Miss Rainforth, Mr. Balfe, Miss Tyrer, and Mr. Frazer,
and Miss Collett and Miss G. Stansbury, came forward, and
were rewarded with well-earned applause.
The Hall Porter and Snap Apple Night followed, to the
delight of a crowded audience.

the principles on which it is founded, that if the public will
but second Mr. L.'s endeavours, by a continuance of their pre-
sent liberal patronage, scarcely a bad hand shall, in a few years,

EVENING EDITION_

idle fellow called himself a " gentleman," and those
with professions should describe themselves properly.
It was contended that an attorney was a gentleman,
and a case was cited in which the Court had passed a
similar description.
Mr. Commissioner LAW would not discharge the in-
solvent unless the other Commissioners held that he
was wrong. He disapproved of the title " gentleman;"
it was much abused. Servants out of place and ruined
tradesmen styled themselves " gentlemen."—(A laugh.)
The bail was accepted, subject to the opiaion of the
other Commissioners.
Nearly all the bail cases were granted ; there were
5G responsible persons in attendance ; the Court was,
perhaps, never so respectable since its establishment.
It was anything but an " Insolvent Court."

COWES-, IS-CE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
A Silver Cup, valued at 501., was sailed for on Wed-
nesday by six yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron, all
under 50 tons. Unfortunately, at starting (J a. m.),
there was scarcely a breath of wind; a slight breeze sprung
up before they reached Yarmouth. Having rounded the
vessel they ran up for the Nab in fine style. Passing
Cowes they were altogether. The race was an excellent
one, for in beating back the winning vessel was very uncer-
tain till the last minute. They came in as follows:

11. At. S.
Phoebe 33 t0n5...6 24 20
Will o' the Wisp 45 625 40
Matilda 44 6 27 30
Aurora 4O 6 29 40
Cynthia 40 6 33 22
The Phoebe was sailed by W. Hollis, Master of Earl de
Grey's yacht, the oldest Master it the Royal Yacht Squa-
dron, in the smallest yacht in the match, beating vessels so
much larger, is no trifling matter, the Will o' the Wisp
being backed at great odds against the field.
The Royal Yacht Squadron Ball was well attended, the
Countess of Durham, Lady Corry, the Countess of Cado-
gan, Lady Cooper, and upwards of 200 other fashionables
being present.
At the Annual Royal Yacht Squadron Dinner we
noticed the Earl of Yarborough, the Earl of Durham,
Lord Cantelupe, the Earl of Wilton, Earl Dclawarr, Ad-
miral the Hon. C. C. Fleming, George Sir H. Packing-
ton, Ado-dud the Hon. D. P. Bouverie, and about seventy
other N,,blemen and Gentlemen. The tickets were a
guinea and a half each.
The fireworks on Wednesday evening were very excel-
cent. About 501. was subscribed at the Royal Yacht
Squadron House towards the expense.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge visited the Undercliff on Wednesday, and
dined at Sandrock.

TOURMAY V. WHITE.

The appellant appeared in person in this appeal to
conduct his own case. In the first instance, he had to
state to their Lordships tVat he was a most oppressed
and injured man, that his wife was on her death-bed,
which had been caused by the proceedings that had been
taken against him, and he trusted, therefore, that any
strong observations he might make, would be attributed
by their Lordships to his excited feelings, and not to any
disrespect to their Lordships on his part. He had also
to request that their Lordships would allow a friend to
read the papers to which he intended to refer.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the rule of the
House was, that no papers should be read that were not
printed.
The Appellant said he had no means of getting them
printed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR—Are the originals here?
The Appellant—They are lodged with the House,
my Lord.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as that was the
case, he would read the originals as the appellant re-
ferred to them.

The Appellant—l am extremely obliged to your
Lordship.

No Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents,
The Appellant proceeded to state his case to their
Lordships. From that statement as well as we could
collect, it appeared that the case came before their
Lordships upon appeal from the decision of Lord Chan-
cellor Plunkett refusing to re hear the case which had
been previously heard, and decided against the appellant
by Sir E. Sugden, when Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
The Bill was filed by the respondents for the purpose of
obtaining possession for themselves and other creditors
and trustees, under a deed entered into between them
and the appellant to liquidate his debts, of an hotel in
Sackville-street, Dublin, of which the appellant had a
lease for upwards of 30 years, many of which were at
the present moment unexpired. Upon the case coming
on before Sir E. Sugden he decided against the ap-
pellant. Lord Plunket refused to re-hear that deci-
sion land from that judgment the appellant appealed.
At the conclusion of the appellant's arguments,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judg-
ment before the termination of the Session.

THE SPOR7',SMAN.

The article " Wild Fowl and Snipe Shooting in
France" holds out strong encouragement for the
amigration of sportsmen to the little town of St.
Valery, the spot being reckoned the depot for
ducks, widgeon, and teal for the Paris market.
The bay literally swarms with wild fowl of every
description, and many of the inhabitants obtain a
good livelihood for half the year by killing them
for sale. The Turf Calendar is ample, and so ►s
the poetry. The doggrel verses " Anent Sunday
Angling" must have been written by a coal mono-
polist.

THE MONTHLY LAW MAGAZINE.
Non-professional readers will find an excellent
article in this number on " The schools of Ger-
man Jurists," and another still more curious, " On
the Influence of Civilisation on the Development of
Insanity," both of which will well repay the trouble
of an attentive perusal. These, however, are the
only articles in the Law Magazine for November
from which any person but a red hot Tory, or an
Old Bailey practitioner need expect to derive any
.
pleasure or profit. It is to be regretted that any but

at the excessive tameness of several of the articles
which encumber its pages.

HOP MARKET.

Halde.rs asked higher prices than buyers were disposed to
give, consequently there was but little passing, and prices un-
certain. The duty was stated at 225,000/.

SEED MARKET.
Nothing done in this department worthy of notice, except
in Linseed, prices of which were looking up.
COLONIAL MARKET.
British Plantation Sugar sold steadily at the prices last
quoted. A small parcel of Foreign Sugar may be quoted at
20s. to 255. in part for Brazil. A large parcel of white Ha-
vannah fetched about 30s. No Coffee, Rice, Cocoa, or Spices
in the Market ; 200 bales Surat Cotton fetched 41/x.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 30.—The Pique,36, Capt. Boxer,
is daily looked for at Spithead, from Quebec, with Sir
John Colborne. The Inconstant, 36, Capt. Print, is
also ordered home from Halifax, to be paid off and re-
commissioned.
The Persian, a new 16-gun brig, is ordered to be
conveyed to Sheerness, for immediate commission. She
is now at Plymouth.
The Hercules, 72, Capt. Barnard, has returned from
the Lisbon station, and proceeded to Sheerness to be
paid off. The officers report that she is to be re-com-
missioned for the Mediterranean. She left the Tagus
on the 9th inst., when the Donegal, 78, flag-ship, and
Blenheim, 72,,were lying there, and daily expecting the
Revenge, 78, from Plymouth.
K
The Apollo troop-ship, Mr. arley, master, is on her
way to Cork,: to embark the 7thFusiiers for Gibraltar.
She will tly nee go to the several West India islands,
with detachments of the 81st and 82d Regiments. The
troopship Athol, Mr. Bellamy, master, was at Cork on
the 22d instant, under orders for Gibraltar. The Rat-
tlesnake troop-ship, Mr. Brodie, master, sailed from the
Downs on the 24th instant, for the Cape of Good Hope,
Mauritius, and Ceylon, with the 90th and 95th Regi-
ments on board.
The Sapphire troop-ship, Mr. G. Nembhard, master,
pro tempore, although only commissioned here a few
days, is nearly ready for service. She is under orders
for Gibraltar, to convey to that garrison the Ist Regi-
ment of infantry.
The Rodney, 92, Captain Hyde Parker, and Tala-
vera, 72, Captain Mends, are shortly expected from the
Mediterranean to be paid off.
The Lords of the Admiralty have it in contemplation
to appoint Mates of the Navy to the situation of Chief-
officers in the Coast. Guard Service, with the daily pay of
95., and the chance of seizures. There is at present a
great scarcity of Mates in sea-going ships, for instance in
the Revenge, 78, fitted out here ; and the present re-
gulation will increase the difficulty.
The corvette Scout, 18, Commander Craigie, has
proceeded to the River to be paid off, from the West
African station, having been four years in commission.
She brings no news. Her place on the station is to be
supplied by the Lily, 18, now on her way out. When
she left the Cape of Good Hope (25th August), Rear-
Admiral Elliott, was there, all well, with his flag flying
in the Melville, 78.
AT SPITHEAD—NO ship of war.
IN HARBOUR—Britannia, Victory, Excellent, Royal
George, yacht ; Sapphire, Pantaloon, and Messenger
steamer.—Brighton Gazelle.

It is said that Lord Tavistock will stand for Cam-
bridgeshire on the Liberal interest, in conjunction with
Mr. G. Townley, cihenever there is a general election.

THE CATHOLIC MAGAZINE.

This is by far the best Number of the Catholic
Magazine that has fallen under our notice. The
article on " Religious Persecution in Poland" con—
tains a curious account of the Russian mode of
converting whole parishes at once to the Grt ek
form of religious worship. We especially recom—
mend it to the study of the Protestant Association,
as offering the most convenient model of a plan
yet exhibited for converting by wholesale the stiff-
necked Papists of Ireland.

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE.
(Old Seriec.)
A great proportion of the November Number of
this work is filled up with accounts of the numer-
ous agricultural meetings which have taken place
during the last month, and which have been given
at greater length in most of the newspapers. It
contains two good plates—a long woolled Ram of
the Oxfordshire breed, that obtained a prize of
thirty sovereigns at the July Oxford exhibition ;
and " A Scene in Windsor Forest," which is an
exact copy (description as well as plate). of " Fal-
low-deer, Windsor Forest," in the " Sportsman"
of last September. It has a useful list of the prices
of grain in Britain for the last forty-seven years,
pointing out the nature of the seasons and the
abundance or deficiency of the crops.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The Court sat on Wednesday to hear appeal cases.
HAMPTON COURT PALACE--EDWARD LEIGH PEMBER,
TON, ESQ., ON BEHALF OF THE INHABITANTS OF
HAMPTON COURT PALACE, V. THE POOR RATE OP

HAMPTON.
This case, which has stood for hearing for severa
months past, was postponed to the next Court day.
LORD DENMAN AND THE OTHER JUDGES V. THE POOR
RATE OF THE LIBERTY or THE ROLLS.
In this case Mr. BODKIN appeared for the respon-
dents, and Mr. CLARKSoN for the appellants.
Mr. BODKIN said this was an appeal by the fifteen
Judges of the superior Courts at Westminster, against
the rating of their chambers in Rolls-garden to the
Poor-rate. There was, he believed, no qnest on that
Sergeants' Inn, in which the chambers of the Learned
Judges were situate, was extra parochial, and therefore
not liable to the ordinary parisdrates, although, as the
Court was aware, there been a considerable
struggle as to that point. There was no doubt that the
premises in question were built on property that formed
part of the liberty of the Rolls, or that all the buildings
within that liberty were liable to the Poor-rate, provided
they were occupied in the manner that would render
them so liable.
The Chairman (interrupting the Learned Counsel)
said the Learned Judges were all of them members of
Sergeants' Inn. Indeed every Judge must be a ser-
geant before he could be promoted to the Bench. The
sergeants were all entitled to chambers as members of
that Inn, and they were beneficially occupied by them,
with liberty to let them if they thought proper. The
whole of Sergeants' Inn had been rated in the mass un-
der the 3d an 4th of William IV., in pursuance of an
arrangement the parties concerned had entered into, and
the Judges were assessed to their quota.
After some conversation between the Counsel on both
sides it was arranged that the appeal should be allowed,
subject to the production of the leases in question.
After all the appeal cases had been disposed of,
John Newman, who was convicted last sessions of
obtaining 401. under false pretences from Mr. Hutchin.
son, th;barrister, relative to the sale of a horse, was
placed at the bar to receive the judgment of the Court,
when
The CHAIRMAN said that, after the verdict had been
given, a question was raised as to the legality of the pri-
soner's conviction, upon which he had since taken the
opinion of the Learned Judges, and they agreed with
him that the evidence adduced did not sustain the alle-
gation in the indictment, which averred that the prisoner
had obtained the 40/. from the prosecutor, when the fact
was that the money was given to his confederate,
Clarke. Under these circumstances, the Court or-
dered that the prisoner be fined one shilling and dis-
:barged.

ECLECTIC REVIEW.

The most generally entertaining article in this
staid old periodical, is the critical essay on " Frois-
sart's Chronicles," which, as the Reviewer truly ob-
serves, are distinguished by minuteness and sipe-
ciality in the facts related, and by the most graphic
liveliness in the modes of narrating them. The ex-
tracts which be subjoins from the old panegyrical
historian of chivalry ate amongst the most diverting
in his " Chronicles."
