A meeting of the operatives was held at Hanley, in
the Potteries, on the 28th of December, at which upwards
of 40 delegates, from various manufacturing towns, attended
to inquire into the merits of the dispute between the opera-
tives and the master potters. The delegates having heard
the statement of the operatives, waited on the masters to pro-
pose a conference between them and their workmen, at
which the delegates should be pr9sent. The masters
agreed and the conference took place, but was not attended
with any satisfactory result. The delegates held a meeting
immediately- after the conference, at which they declared
that their conviction of the justice of the claims of the Staf-
fordshire Potters was confirmed, and pledged themselves to
use every Means in their power to raise funds to support
them until the principles they contend for are established.
The number out of employment amounts to near 20,000.
ROSSEAU'S PERIWINKLE.—Rosseau's anecdote of
this flower is well known. He tells us that he was walking
with Madame de Warens, at Charmettes, when she sud-
denly exclaimed, " there is the periwinkle still in flower."
Rosseau, being short sighted, had never observed this
flower, which always grows near the ground, and stooping
down, he gazed at it with pleasure. He did not see it again
for Thirty years, when, being at Gressier, and climbing a
hill with M. Peyron, he observed something blue among the
bushes, and, stooping down to examine it, he uttered with a
cry of joy, " voila la pervenche " and all the tender emo-
tions of the moment when he first saw it, rushed back upon
his mind. Hence the plant in France is consecrated " Aux
doux souvenirs," and is generally planted near a monumental
urn, or other ornament or building dedicated to the remem-
brance of a friend.

DEATH IN THE SNOW.—During the snow storm
a young woman named Sarah Port perished at Marsh-side.
Verdict—" Died from the severity of the cold." A man
named Edwards also perished in the same parish, on the
same day, and about the same hour. A similar verdict was
returned at an inquest held on the body. Another man,
named Joseph Terry, perished in the same storm between
Sarre and Minster. He was proceeding towards the latter
place with a man named Solly, the snow falling fast at the
time, and the wind blowing a perfect gale. The deceased
became incapable of proceeding, and fell repeatedly. Solly
raised him several times, and attempted to get him to a
stack, where he might have been sheltered, but was unable
to do so. He then went for assistance, and returned with
two farm servants, but. could not find Terry. He was sub-
sequently fouud hanging over a hedge, nearly covered with
snow. The jury who sat on the body returned a verdict of
" Died by the inclemency of the weather."
On Wednesday a labourer, dragging the river for
shingle, opposite the Gros Caillou, drew up the body of a
well-dressed man about 65 years of age, to whose neck a
heavy stone was fastened by a cord. There were no ap-
pearances of violence, and the body had evidently been in
the water some time. It was conveyed to the Morgue,
where it has since been recognized as the corpse of a Mr. C.,
well known on the Stock Exchange as having lately sus-
tained very heavy losses, in consequence of which he had,
no doubt, committed suicide. He has been missing for
about a month,

After some discussion, the LORD CHANCELLOR had not
the slightest doubt that it was the right of the appellant's
Counsel to open the case before him.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the appellants, said that
the original information filed in November, 1825, prayed an
injunction to restrain the Corporation of Liverpool, consist-
ing of a mayor, bailiffs, and burgesses, from mortgaging or
alienating the Corporation property, in order to raise a
fund for the permanent endowment of the Rectors and
Clergymen of the different churches in Liverpool. The
Corporation of Liverpool--that was, the Corporation as it
existed before the passing of the Municipal Corporation Re-
gulation Act—proposed to raise a sum of 105,0001., to be
vested in trustees for the permanent indemnity ofthe borough,
and the object of the injunction was to put a stop to this pro-
ceeding, which appeared to the ratepayers to be an illegal di-
version of the Corporation property. The injunction, with
this view, charged that the ownership of all the Corporation
property was qualified and cut down by the Municipal Cor-
poration Act from the day that it received the Royal Assent,
and that from that day, the 9th of September, 1835, it was
a breach of trust in the old Corporation to raise the sum in
question, because they were, by several sections of the Act,
to hold their property as trustees for the use of their suc-
cessors. An injunction to restrain the Corporation from
raising the money was granted ex parte by the Court, but
this injunction was dissolved by the Rolls, and that decision
was subsequently confirmed by his Lordship as Lord Com-
missioner. The ground of that decision was, that if the
injunction continued until the termination of the official
existence of the old Corporation, on the 26th of December,
1835, the question of the right to raise the fund for the
purpose proposed could never be tried. The old Corpora-
tion, after the dissolution of the injunction, on the assump-
tion that the Clergy were not sufficiently endowed, and
that it was expedient to relieve the inhabitants of Liver-
pool from the payment of the rate, proceeded to mort-
gage two of the Corporation estates for the sum of
65,0001., and to raise the remainder of the sum of
105,000/. out of rates and other property belonging to
the borough of Liverpool. This object was effected by
certain deeds, dated in the 21st of December, 1835, five
days before the new Act came into operation ; and in
these deeds Mr. Aspinal and others were named as trustees
for the benefit of the Clergy. This gave rise to the sup-
plemental bill, in which Mr. Aspinal and the trustees were
made parties. To that bill the defendants put in a general
demurrer, which was allowed in July last by Lord Lang-
dale. His Lordship, in giving judgment on the demurrer,
did not negative the assertion of the relators, that the sum
in question was trust property, and that the Court had full
jurisdiction to deal with it as it thought proper. On the
contrary, his Lordship expressly affirmed both propositions,
but his Lordship was at the same time of opinion that the
Court could not take on itself to say that the money was
not fairly raised, for the benefit of the inhabitants of Liver-
pool, and his Lordship also thought that the case came
within the 97th section of the new Act. Now, according
to the Learned Counsel's opinion, this decision could not be
maintained, if it were allowed, as he conceived it to be al-
lowed on all hands, that the Corporations were clothed with
a trust for the benefit of their successors at the time the
Corporation Regulation Act passed into a law. The mere
question to be decided in the present case was, whether
this power ceased on the passing of the Act, on the 9th of
September, 1835, or on the 26th of December in the same
year, when the Act came into operation ? Now, he main-
tained that the trust commenced at the period of the passing
of the Act, and the sections on which he founded his argu-
ment, and to which he called his Lordship's attention, were
the Ist, the 58th, 68th, 92d, 94th, 97th, and 139th.
Mr. PEMBERTON addressed the Court in support of the I
decree, up to six o'clock, when his Lordship rose.
The arguments are to be continued to-morrow (this day).

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, J. 9.
MAItR V. LITTLE WOOD.
Mr. KNIGHT moved for a receiver of the outstanding
estate of a testator named Littlewood. The plaintiff was
his executor, and also a creditor, and had proved his will
The defendant was the widow of Littlewood, and had in-
stituted a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court at York for a
revocation of the probate granted to the plaintiff, insisting
that the will which had been made when Littlewood was
a bachelor was revoked by his subsequent marriage and
the birth of a child ; and pending that suit she gave no-
tice to her late h usband's banker not to pay the plaintiff a
sum of money which stood in his hands.
Mr. JACOB (for the defendant) insisted the evidence was
insufficient to ground the interference of the Court.
His HONOUR must have something to show him the per-
sonal estate was in some danger.
Mr. KNIGHT would procure an affidavit as to the po-
sition of the testator's property.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, 'Lily. 9.
Henrich lacinniann, a native of Prussia, was opposed
by Mr. WOODROFFE, on the part of Henrich Lunge, and
two other creditors, foreign merchants.
He was supported by Mr. COOKE.
The insolvent had been a merchant at Breslau, in Prus-
sia, where he carried on business in partnership with Hen-
rich Lunge. His debts amounted to 2,9491., and his credits
to 2,0271. His creditors were residents in the Kingdom of
Prussia.

Mr. WOODROFFE applied for further time, to get up the
opposition against the insolvent. He was a merchant in an
extensive way, and had run away from his creditors.
The case was ultimately adjourned for a month, and in
the meantime the schedule ordered to be referred to Mr.
Cresswell, the Examiner of the Court, for investigation.
Mr. H. Long, late a Lieutenant in the army, and Capt.
and Major in the service of the Queen of Spain, was op-
posed by Mr. CRESWELL fora creditor residing at Liver-
pool, named Joseph Jones.
The insolvent had received orders from General Evans
to raise troops and supplies for the Queen of Spain, which
were to be guaranteed by Mr. C. M. King, the contractor.
He had raised 1,478 men, for which he was to be paid
2s. Gd. a head. He had, however, obtained no portion of
his claim from the Spanish Government. The debt of the
opposing creditor was 471. for grocery goods supplied at
verpool to the troops. He bill which he drew had not been
accepted by Mr. King, but he would give all the assistance
he could to Mr. Jones to obtain payment of his debt. He
denied that he had any half-pay or pension. Ho had sold
his commission in the army in 1834 for 6001.
Mr. CooKE said the Spanish Government should be in-
serted in the schedule as debtors. It was a contingency,
and rather a doubtful matter.—(A laugh.)
The insolvent was discharged, and Mr. Jones appointed
assignee.

ALLEGED SPANISH INQUISITION IN LONDON.
—Since the promulgation of the inquiry into the above
charge at Bow-street, several Spaniards of rank hate been
usinc, every effort to elucidate the extraordinary tale, but
without success. The result of their investigation leads
them seriously to doubt the whole narrative, which doubt
receives further confirmation from the fact, that the com-
plainant is unknown in the highest ranks of society, or in
the political circles, of either of the contending parties in
their unfortunate country.—Observer.
On Christmas-day the following curious occurrence
took place at the afternoon service in Chester cathedral ; the
gas that lights the cathedral burnt so faintly as scarcely
to give sufficient light to enable the congregation to read.
In the after part of the service, Handers beautiful an-
them, " The people that walked in darkness," commenced,
and just as the concluding passage, " I have seen a great
light," was given in full chorus, the gas burst out with
amazing brillancy, to the astonishment of the congregation.

FLOUR AND OATMEAL.—For the term of twenty-
three years, ending 1831, the total amount of flour exported
from Ireland to Liverpool amounted to 1,408,784 sacks ;
whilst for the term of the last five years, ending the Ist of
October, the flour exported from Ireland to Liverpool
amounts to 1,300,000 sacks and upwards. The total
amount of Irish oatmeal received into Liverpool for the
period of twenty-three years is 665,900 sacks. The amount
received in Liverpool during the second period of five years,
ending October, 1836, 925,000 sacks.

Tile labour of the mail guards still continues to be most
arduous, and their pecuniary loss from the few journeys
they were able to accomplish during the storm, and the
absence of passengers is much felt. Their pay from the
post-office, considering their heavy responsibilities, is very
low, only 12s. per week, out of which Is. 6d. is dedusted
for their clothing. For the remainder of the means of
livelihood they are left dependent on the customary fees
given by travellers. It is said the post-office authorities
intend giving them a gratuity for the desperate labour they
have lately had to undergo.
