LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(TIIIS DAY.)

ROLLS COURT.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE GOVERNORS OE

CHRISTS lIOSTITAL.

Thomas Guy, the found, r of Guy's Hospital, in thy
year 1724, by his will left an annuity of 400/. to Christ's
Hospital, on condition thitt they should receive annually
tad educat.., in the same manner as tie other children
of the establishment, four boys or girls, to be nominated
:•early by his executors, or their successors, the Corpo-
ration of Guy's Hospital. The Governors of Christ's
Hospital, in the year 1126, vecepted the gift, and
continued to receive the en as nominated by the
Corporation of Guy's Hospital until the year 1927,
when they determined no longer to receive the 400/. in
consequence of its insufficiency. The clause in the will
of the testator, whereby the annual sum of 4001. was given
to Christ's Hospital, under the conditions therein named,
also provided that in case the Governors of that
establishment should at any time refuse to receive
the children, the executors of the testator were to be at
liberty to apply the annuity in their education as they
tnight think proper. The present information was filed
for the purpose of compelling Christ's Hospital to receive
the amount, on the ground that that establishment having
once accepte 1 it, and applied it as directed by the testator,
were hound to fulfil the condititions of the gift for ever ;
and that the clause in the testator's will giving power to
his executors to apply the fonds in another way, in case
of the refusal of Christ's Hospital, must be only taken as
having effect till Christ's Hospital could be compelled by
legal means to fulfil the conditions of the testator's will.
Air. PEMBERTON and Mr. WilortAxt supported the in-
formation. Mr. BICKERSTETII and Mr. PHILLIMORE
opposed it.

'His Honour the MASTER. of the ROLLS considered the
question to be whether this gift to Christ's Hospital was to
be considered as a gift merely as long as they should con-
tinue to receive the four children, or whether it must be
taken as a gift of this sum for ever, upon the condition
that they should receive the four children. The Court
was of opinion the latter was the true construction of the
words of the testator, and that Christ's Hospital having
once accepted the gift, could never retire from it. The
decree must therefore be in favour of the relatives as prayed.

SONTAG'S PATRICIAN RIGHTS

RECOGNIZED.

BERLIN, JUNE 5.—1 hasten to make amends for
an omission in my last letter, which, under the
peculiar circumstances, partakes of an act of injustice
to the claims of our unrivalled warbler. I need no:
dwell upon what is now a fully-ascertained fact, that
Sontag is bona fide the wife of the Conte Rossi, who
was formerly in the diplomatic service of the Court
of Turin. You arc equally aware, no doubt, that
his family obstinately demur to any recognition of
what they are pleased to term so degrading a " mes
alliance." She has, however, succeeded in pro-
curing the interposition of an illustrious personage,
whose influence ought not to have been needed,
where the obligation conferred is, from the indi-
gence of the other party, indisputably on her side.
The courteous attentions which have been shown
to her by the Prussian court, are the first public
acknowledgment that has occurred of her social claims
as Countess Rossi ; and the manner in which it was
conferred was as characteristic of the truly royal feel-
ing which dictated it, as it was delicate towards the
amiable object on whom it was bestowed
immediately after her arrival here, a concert was
given in the King's apartments, and none of the
performers, excepting Sontag, had a seat assigned
to them among the ladies of the Court. The cir-
cumstance created a degree of embarras and hesita-
tion on the part of her "right honourable" neigh-
bours, which was natural enough where the excep-
tion was so unexpected. It wanted but a gleam of
genial sunshine to dispel the gathering vapour; and
this shone, so soon as two of her illustrious hosts
pointedly singled her out as the object of their con-
descending attention; in another moment she was
caressed on every side, and recognised nemine dis-
sentiente, as a member of the privileged coterie.
From Warsaw it is Sontag's intention to proceed to
Moscow, and-thence to St. Petersburgh. On 'lee-
way back to the South, she purposes paying you a
final visit, and after that will probably rejoin her
husband, and for ever bid adieu to the stage and
the orchestra. He will find a spotless heart, and a
princely fortune, more solacing helpmates than pe-
nury and a barren pedigree.—Court Journal.

SUICIDE OF THOMAS SHELTON, THE EX-
PUGILIST.—Last night the inhabitants of Montague-
court, Bishopsgate-street, were thrown into the greatest
consterriation in consequence of the sudden death of
THOMAS SHELTON, proprietor of the Ship public•house.
Rumours state that late last night he told his wile that he
was ruined, in consequence of being unfortunate at the
Ascot races. She endeavoured to cheer him, by saying
they were both young and able to work. He then de-
sired her to bring him up a glass of gin and water. She
did so, and on her return he was a lifeless corpse, having
swallowed, it is computed, one ounce of prussic acid in
the interval.

GIBRALTAR, APRIL 19.—There has not
been experienced at Gibraltar so severe a winter as the last
for upwards of thirty years. It was accompanied with
gaits and hurricanes which produced the most alarming;
and serious consequences, by the sudden destruction of
houses, garden-walls, trees torn up by their roots, &c.,
presenting a melancholy and alarming spectacle to the in-
habitants. The shipping also suffered materially, and its
severe effects were seen by innumerable wrencks scattered
over our bay. On the day before Good Friday a pheno-
menon was displayed of the most extraordinary and won-
derful description—a shower of frogs made its appearance
i►► the morning, to the utmost consternation and terror of
the inhabitants, who had never witnessed any thing of the
kind before. Hard times are much complained of here,
and to the laudable exertions of the military stationed in
the garrison are the poor greatly indebted for performing
plays for their benefit, &c.
FISHING EXTRAORDINARY.—BANAGHER,
JUNE 13.—0 n Friday evening last a scene of a truly inte-
resting nature to all lovers of angling took place near the
hridga which crosses the Shat son at Banagher, in
the King's County. An old and experienced fisherman
we:l known in that part of the country by the appellation
of Tugg, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock in
the evening, hooked a salmon of enormous weight and
strength, a little above the bridge ; the fish, after making
a few violent efforts to extricate himself—

Flew through the glassy waves with finny wings,
Whilst Tugg still kept behind.
From eight until past eleven the contest was carried on
with doubtful success, in nearly the centre of the river,
which is here about half a mile wide—during which time
the salmon was played (as anglers term it) up the stream,
as far as Bird's Island, a distance of more than an English
mile frrint the place where the fish was first Looked; still
the salmon was unwearied, and struggled as hard as when
first hooked, notwithstanding the utmost skill of Tugg to
weaken and bring him within reach of the gaff. The
town clock struck twelve at night, and yet victory had
not declared for the indefatigable and experienced Tugg.
Three hours more rolled by, when Tugg, nearly as ex-
hausted as his adversary (after nine hours' display of the
utmost ■kill and perseverance in the Piscal art), had re-
course to a stratagem by which he made himself master of
his finny prey. Connecting the navigable parts of the
Shannon above and below the bridge at Banagher, is a
canal of about half a mile in length; into this canal Tugg,
with his wonted skill, coaxed the fish, and then letting him
down to the lock, at the farther extremity, the upper gate
of which had been opened to receive him, he was allowed
to pass in, and the gate being immediately closed, the water
was let off by the lower one, and thus the finny monster
became an easy prey. The salmon weighed 4311b5., and
was presented by honest Tugg to our worthy and highly-
esteemed Magistrate, THOMAS GEORGE ARMSTRONG,
Esq., of Gavey Castle. The sporting gentry of Banagher
and its vicinity intend raising a sum by subscription to
reward poor Tugg, and in testimony of their approbation
of his unwearied assiduity, skill, and, above all, for the
stratagem by which he became at length master of this
noble fish.— Waterford Chronicle.

. The capacity of the bladder of a sow, killed
by a flesher here last week, was tried, in consequence of
its immense appearance of size. Sixteen imperial gallons
of water were poured into it ; it could have contained
more, but it burst, in consequence of the weight, before it
was full.—Perth courier.

WINDSOR, MONDAY VIRNINO.

There has been no amendment in the state of his MA.
J ESTY'S health since yesterday; and the hope that the
strength of his constitution might once more enable him
to surmount the complicated maladies by which he is af-
flicted becomes hourly less and less confident. Last night
he re Ircely slept at all, in consequence of the violentcougb
by which be has been latterly attacked, and the excessive
and very unpleasant expectoration by which that cough is
attended. It is said this expectoration is caused by the
suppuration of abscesses in the lungs; and that though
the difficulty of breathing has been thereby somewhat re-
lieved, yet the dirchar4e, and the cough it occasions, have
exhausted the strength of the Royal patient most distres-
singly, and have reduced his person so much that it retains
little more than half its ordinary bulk.
Both the physicians remain in constant attendance ; and B
Mr. RODIE is in attendance every night—arriving at
eight in the evening and departing at eight in the morning,
as usual. As to Mr. Nusszr, of whom some of the
papers have said so much, he has been intrusted with
making up the medicines prescribed by theattendant phy-
sicians ever since the commencement of his MAJESTY'S
present il:ness ; and his recent occasional visits at the
Castle have had no other object, I believe, than the being
ready to make them up more promptly as any sudden alte-
ration may require.
The Duke of Doasiv and the venerable Earl CATHCA RT
have made their personal inquiries after the Kinn's health
to-day; but his NIAJ ESTE has received no visiters.

ACCELERATION OF THE MAILS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sax,—l wish, through the medium of your ably con-
ducted Journal, to call the attention of the parties inte-
rested to the Northern Road Bill. The professed object
of the authors of this Bill is the earlier arrival of the Lon-
don mail in Edinburgh, and its'earlittleintriure fro thong
for the north ; whether the laWejobject-ts re:4r- ainfte I' at .
by all the promoters of the Bill Ilpaye the London Press, It
the north of Scotland, to decide. 4.The Caledonian Mer-
cury of yesterday announces its -inteiltion*of reliving the
London Journals in future from the tcouble-of communi-
cating the London news to the inhalttants of Scotland
north of Edinburgh. The question, Slerefore, for the
consideration of the inhabitants of the ninth is, whether
the London news will acquire, during its
.detention in
modern Athens, for the purpose of hargAransferred to the
columns of the .Mercury, a enffisiepcy of attic witlo,som-
, 7 ,
peasate for the delay. _
Another more serious consideration for the inhabitants!'
of the North is whether the acceleration of tlseir Liverpool, '44V
Manchester, West of England, and American letters, is of
the slightest importance to them—if so, the earlier arrival •
of these letters by the Carlisle mail would grievously inter-
fere with the lucubrations of the Mercury; if the Carlisle
mail arrived in Edinburgh, as it ought to do, were the
proper means adopted, as soon as the Wooler mail, it would
render unnecessary the exertions of the Mercury on behalf
of the inhabitants of the North, by forwarding to them a.
once tlae whole of their correspondence with the South.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Edinburgh, June 18, 1830. Z.
For the truth of what I state as to the early arrival
of the Carlisle mail, I refer you to Mr. Telford's report,
where he states that two hours may be saved between 4
Edinburgh and Carlisle.

SPLENDID PORTRAIT OF GEO. IV.--A
beautiful STEEL ENGRAVING, from the last Likeness taken
of his MAJESTY, will be presented GRATIS to every purchaser
of the Weekly Dispatch, of SUNDAY, the 27th June inst.
A single glance at this exquisite Engraving, which may be
seen at the principal News Agents, will convince every
person that such a Portrait cannot be purchased elsewhere
for less than half-a-guinea. It will now be given, toge-
ther with the best Sunday Paper in England, for
To secure early impressions of the Portrait immediate
orders should be given. Such orders will he received by
all Postmasters and News Agents.—Dispatch Office, 139,
Fleet-street.

ALGIERS.--A Second Edition of the very
interesting Narrative of the Captivity and subsequent Ad-
ventures in Algiers of M. PAWANTI, with Notes by
Captain BLAQUIERE, is just published, and will be read at
this moment with extraordinary interest. This volume,
it has been justly observed, " will be found to be an object
of particular curiosity, from the minute and lively manner
in which it lays open the interior of the Court of the Dey
of Awaits. It contains the only complete and authentic
account, by an eye-witness, which has hitherto appeared
of the manners and conduct of this Despot and his Minis-
ters, and details such scenes and events as will scarcely
seem credible in the eyes of an European,"

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Mr.ICEAN made
his appearance here hat night as Othello. The boas* was
full, but not crowded, and the play went off with its usual
eclat. Mr. KEAN was in tolerable spirits.

COBURG THEATRE.--A new historical
melo-drame, under the title of Darnley, or the Fiend of
the Cloth of Gold, was last night brought out at this
theatre. It is really a very splendid, imposing, and, above
all, a well acted piece, full of incident and ♦ariety. The
house was crowded in all parts, atd the audience went
away highly delighted with the evening's entertainments.

- - - -
It is whispered that a fair syren and her
would be husband, encouraged by the reception they Lave
met with since a late occurrence, intend to take a trip
across the Atlantic, where they expect " a pretty cot si-
derable " degree of patronage as the reward of their un.
exceptionable conduct.—Morning Paper.
DUBLIN, JUNE 19.—The arrival of Miss
PATON and Mr. WOOD, and their expected appearance this
evening at the theatre, are the all-engrossing subjects of
conversation through town. Miss PATON arrived on
Thursday, and took up her temporary abode at GREsuam's
Hotel. Mr. Woon came to town last night, and stays in
private lodgings near the theatre. This was a very judi-
cious arrangement; if they came together, and by residing
in the same house proved the accuracy of the statements
in same of the London Journals, they would have expe-
rienced a very disagreeable reception. As it is, their re-
fraining from contradicting those statements has xcited a
strong teeling against them, and it is supposed there will
ba " a row" at the theatre to-night Every plate is secured.
