LONDON UNIVERSITY.

Mr. TOOKE, seeing the Hon. Member for Bridport in
his place, wished to ask him, as he was the only Fellow of.
the New London University in that House, whether they
had yet opened their Charter—where they proposed to hold
their meetings, and how soon—and whether they had fixed
upon any course for enabling students to take out a College
degree ?
Mr, WARBUItTON said the London University had
opened its Charter, the Government had given them rooms
in Somerset-house, and they had appointed a Committee
to consider all regulations connected with the taking out of
deg re

POOR LAW UNIONS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice of his in-
tention after the holydays to bring in a Bill for the purpose
of amending the Act relative to the Union of parishes.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer to a ques-
tion from Mr. WASON said, upon the subject referred to
by the Hon. Gentleman, there were two contradictory de-
cisions. At one time the clause was agreed to, and on the
second it was rejected. He would take time to consider
whether he should propose the re-insertion of the words
giving an exemption to Members of Parliament from its
operation, but he certainly should take care that the Hon.
Member should have due notice that he would not be taken
by surprise, as he (the Attorney-General) was on the last
oecasion.

POOR. LAWS (IRELAND).

In answer to a question from Mr. RICHARDS,

Lord J. RUSSELL said h. did not think he would be
able to bring forward the second reading of the Poor-law
Bill for Ireland, and he should now fix it for the 17th of
April.

of which were entirely false. That Gentleman Lad farther.
stated to hitt); that the petition had no signatn2:2,-,-, whatever
mended to it. Under such circtur4ranceac ttoted the
House would delay the strong rctding tO the 11th of
April.

Mt r. i-xx.ToNT thought that twe te.i.iernents which
had :just been Madre by the Hon. Member for Wilts ougiat
to in'duc'e the i!ouse to go even farther than postponing tile
end reading. For his own part, he believed that all the
.ignatures to the deed were genuine We knew several of

the Directors of the COttipaliy, who were men of the highest
character; -some oi whom had told him, that with the excep,
tion of the. fraudulent attempt:noticed by the Hon, Member,
they believed that all the signatures to the deed were ge-
nuine. It was his opinion that the House ought to allow
the secend reading to take place that day ; if they did not,
the motion for the postponemext ought to he agteed to.

Strangers were then Ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place ; the motion for . the postponement being
Agreed to.
The second reading was then postponed to the 11th of
April.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

On Saturday, in the case of George Smith, aged q 4, a
soldier, who was charged upon the Coroner's inquisition
with the wilful murder of James Chaplin, the Jury returned
the following verdict :,---" We acquit the prisoner of mur-
der, but we find him Guilty of Manslaughter, and we beg
most strongly to recornmond him to mercy, on account of
the great pr6vocation he received."
The Court was much crowded during the day and the
case lasted from ten o'clock in the morning, Ti ,
)e prisoner
during the trial was permitted to sit in the dock, owing to
his being in a state of ill-health. He was still clad in his
reginwntal attire.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Justice BosANQUET and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
lVillinni Redshate, a rather ropectable young inan in ap-
pearance, was indicted with robbing Frederick Hazel', a foct-
mats, of a gold pin, a silk handkerchief, and 93. 61. in silver,
on the 18th of Sepumber last.
Mr. Jones stated the case for the prosecution. From the
statements of the prosecutor, it appeared that on tl.e even-,
ing of the .Atli of September, r:hile walLiz,g down Black-
friars road, he was accosted by the prisoner, who said that he
had known the prosecutor some thee, and had often seen him
in Blackfriarg-road. The prosecutor said he did net know
the. prisoner, to which he again replied that he ell The
prisoner then asked the proSecwor to take a glass of
ale with him, which 'he consented to do after several re-
fusals. For this purpose they went into the Prince of WaleS
public-house, where the prisoner called for ?, —pint of ale.

came exceedingly alarmed, and stated to the prisoner that
he had not so much money with him ; to which the pri-
soner said he wanted money, and would have it, add-
ing, give me all the money you have got, your gold
pin and silk handkerchief, which the prosecutor did, fearing
that the prisoner would put,his threat into execution, and fol-
low him home. The prosecutor had seen the prisonn three
times since the transaction, in company with another person ;
and in consequence of what took place at the last interview,
he gave the prisoner in charge to a policeman. He did not
give him in charge on the first occasion, as he was fearful of
the consequences. Thus things rested until the 12th of Oc-
tober, when, as the prosecutor was returning home from Fitz•
roy-square, he was again accosted by the prisoner and another
person, and gave them money. The prosecutor was similarly
accosted by the pr:soner several times.
The prosecutor was cross-examined at great length by Mr.
PAYNE, on behalf of the. prisoner, but nothing was elicited
from him, to shake his evidence.
The Policeman, who took the prisoner into custody, stated
that when he did so, the prisoner was in company with another
man, named Page. When witness charged him with the
offence, he \said that Page was the man he wanted.
Dianna Haines, of Little Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road,
stated that the prisoner lodged in her house in the months of
September and October last. He had, no employment but
that which she occasionally gave him.
The Policeman, on being re-called, stated that when be
took the prisoner into custody, he found upon him a duplicate
of a gold watch, and writing-desk, together with twenty-
eight shillings in silver.
Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET summed up, and the Jury found
the prisoner Guilty.

John Callop was finally examined, and fully committed to
take his tri.,l, on a charge of being concerned with the two
Wickers, who had been previously convicted, and one of
whom escaped from New•gate, in stealing three valuable
horses, the property of Mr. Robertson, a farmer at Horn-
don-on-the-hill, Essex.

The prisoner, it appears, had, but a few years ,ego, kept
a handsome establishment, with tilburv, and carried on
an extensive and lucrative business as a veterinary surgeon.

IMPORTANT TO NAVIGATORS.

The following official communications have been received
at Lloyd's:—
Elsinore, Oct. 17, 1837.

Sir—l beg to transmit to you, for the information of the Un-
der-writers at Lloyd's, the inclosed notice, issued by the General
Board of Customs and Trade of Copenhagen, under date of
the 10th inst., from which you will observe that a Light and
Noe Vessel will be stationed, towards the end of this month,
off Dragoe, at the entrance of the Sound, from the Baltic,
where she will remain till the 21st December, and resume her
station on the Ist March each year, unless prevented by the
ice ; and I have to request that all possible publicity may be
given to the said notice.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your
'most obedient, humble Servant,
FRANCIS C. MACGREGOR.
W. Dobson, Esq., &c., London.
LIGHT VESSEL OFF DRAGOE.

The following notice for the information of Shipowners
trading to the Baltic, has been issued by the General Board of
Customs and Trade at Copenhagen, under the date of the 10th
October, this year :
For the greater security of the navigation through that in-
tricate passage called the " Grounds," between the islands of
Amago and Saltholm, on entering the same from the Baltic,
a light and pilot vessel will be statioded at the end of this
month off Dragoe. This vessel (which has two masts,
schooner rigged, and is painted with red sides and a white
cross), will be moored to S. W., about 400 fathoms from the
Quarters ground, in a depth of 45 fathoms, and to the
S. E. (magnetic bearings) strice, eight Danish miles from
Dragoe haven, and to the E. S. E. three-sixteenth miles from
the Sand-reef buoy. The fire apparatus consists of nine lamps,
with reverberators, placed round the after-mast, at an eleva-
tion of 25 Danish feet above the level of the sea. The lamps
will be lighted at the same periods as the other lights on the
Danish coast, viz. in the season from Michaelmas to Easter
half an hour, and in the summer season from Easter to
Michaelmas one hour, after sun-set, to be kept burning till
sunrise. In hazy and foggy weather the_ ship's bell will be
rung, continuing for ten minutes, after an interval of five
minutes. A red flag will be displayed in the daytime, and
in stormy weather a red jack hoisted on the vessel's foretop.
Drape pilots will be stationed on board of the light vessel,
fur the purpose of piloting such ships through the " Grounds"
as may make the usual signals. A list of the ships which
have employed pilots will be published weekly, for the infor-
mation of underwriters end shipowners.
The light and pilot vessel will remain at her moorings
until the 21st December, and she will return to her station
on the Ist of March of every year, unless prevented by the
ice. The crew are not allowed any intercourse with vessels
passing the Sound (beyond putting pilots on board) except in
cases of distress, or immediate assistance being required, when
such will if possible be rendered.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The state of trade at Manchester continues very dull, both
in goods and yarns, which, it is feared, ail! continue to tire
end of the year. •
By the Dutch mail we have accounts that the treaty of com-
merce arranged with the Dutch Government has been received
by the British Ambassador at the Hague, which is advan-
tageous to both parties.
It was generally expected this morning that we should have
had numerous arrivals from all parts of North and South Ame-
rica, as well as from Lisbon ; but the New York packet of the
Bth inst. has not arrived, nor the steamer from Lisbon. These
arrivals are anxiously looked for by the merchants. ,

THE QUEEN U. MURPHY.

-------. - .
This was an indictment fora conspiracy, preferred by the church
Trustees of the parish of St. Pancras, under a local Act, against

Mr. THESSIGER, Sir W. FOLLETT, and Mr. CLARKSON, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS and Mr.

The case is likely to occupy the Court the entire day, the wit-
nesses in the other case for trial being discharged from attendance
till Monday.

THE LUDLOW CHARITIES.
The Lord CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this
case, which stood in the paper for decision last Saturday, but owing
to the request of Mr. Leshmere Charlton, his Lordship postponed
judgment till to-day, in order to enable the parties to arrange
matters if they could. The case came before the Court upon Pe-
tition, praying that the Master might be ordered to review the
Reports he had made with respect to various Charities in Ludlow.

VICE- CHAIY CELL u S COURT, DEC. 1.
FORSYTH V. BAILEY.
A WARD-COMMITTAL OF THE HUSBAND.

A very serious case of a person having married a Ward of
the Court of Chancery was brought before his Honour the
VICE. CHANCELLOR to-day, which on the application of Mr.
Knight Bruce, his Honour left the Bench to bear and adjudi-
cate upon in his private room. A short time after his Honour
had returned to his seat on the Bench, he announced (address-
ing Mr. K. Bruce) that he made the Order for the immediate
committal to the Fleet Prison of the person who bad married
the Ward.

Mr. K. BRUCE—Sir, I wish to speak with all respect for the
clergyman who married thesendsipaerrtiels,obuugthitt itsoa
bvreinry, singular
circumstance, circumstance, which I co
Honour's knowledge, that he married these pa6rties (the
Ward evidently such a child) in the parish of the man,
and out of the parish of the girl, as was apparent on the facen
of the registry before him at the moment.
Mr. KOE—You keep calling the Ward such a child--why,
she is fifteen years old 1—( An evident manifestation of sur-
prise throughout the Court. )
Mr. K. BRUCE—I think it right to bring this conduct on the
part of the Clergyman before the Court, though I have not
asked that he should appear before your Honour.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—But I should like to have him
here. His iiame is Hodson, is it not ?
Mr. K. BRUCE—Yes, Sir; the Rev. Mr. Hodson. As
your Honour has expressed your wish that he should come
before you, I have no doubt he will immediately do so ; and
it is certainly most important that the public should know how
clergymen act, or may act, on such occasions.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Let Mr. Hodson attend me.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 1.
(Sittings at .Nisi Prius before the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Com-
mon Jury.)
METERS V. JAIME.
The Court was occupied the whole day with this often-tried
cause, which presented no feature of novelty and public in-
terest up to the time of our reporter leaving.
Mr. KELLY, who appeared for the defendant, having taken
a legal objection to some point in evidence, and which objec-
tion the Court did not admit, said that he would content him-
self with protesting against the course which his Learned
Friend (Mr. Sergeant Bompas) was taking on the other side ;
and he would not again interrupt the proceedings. He hoped
his friend would imitate the example.
Mr. Sergeant BOIIPAi—If I were to imitate the example of
my friend, I should be interrupting the Court every minute jri
the day.—(Much laughter in the Court•)
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Let us have silence in the Court.
This is not a theatre.
After hearing evidence, the jury found a verdict for the
Flaintiff—Damages, 3,3401.

It is stated that there were three females and a boy in
Mr. Harris's house, who made their escape over the top of

much injured, and at the back several have received serious

BUNTING.

The Devon and Somerset Stag-hounds had a good day's
sport on Friday last, killing their stag, after a five hour's Chace,
in the lawn of J. Worth, Esq., near Tiverton. The deer was
roused first above Baron's-down, the seat of Mr. Lucas,
and immediately crossed the park for the woods under that
mansion, and from thence crossed the old Minehead turnpike
into Swinescleave, and through Birchcleave into Haddon ;
beating these extensive covers for some time, he left them by
Wind-corner, and came to water in the Haddon, first above
Bury ♦illage, then over Haddon farm to Chapple and Frog-
well, in the parish of Skilgate ; he here crossed the Watchet-
turnpike for Morebath, and passed close by the seat of Mon-
tague Bere, Esq., and went down the valley to Dummel-
moors, thence over the hill for the Batherun, which stream he
kept to Bampton, going under the bridge in that town, leaping
the high flood-gates, for the meadows, below which he kept to
the limekiln, and then crossed over for the river Exe, which
be took just above Stuckeridge bridge, and went down the
water : breaking from it some distance above Covelridge, he
ran the covers, and by Highwood betook himself for Stoodley,
but was so bard pressed as to be again obliged to retarn to the
Exe, about a mile below Cove. After beating the water for
some time, he tried to escape his pursuers by leaving it for the
covers above Washfield, but backed it once more for the river
by Stanterton Combe, and after swimming through the Weir
ut Bollam, went down the water to his resting-place at Worth.
When it is considered that this pack have been got together
since the Ist of June, it is no small credit to them to kill their
game over almost the worst country they have, and with the
rivers swollen to their banks by the late rains.

LlvEarooL, THURSDAY Ev-LNIsG.--This morning, about
nine o'clock, as a vessel bound from Montreal to this port,
called the General Gaseniine, was ikbout entering the river:
she struck on a bank called the Middle Patch, and begat'
to fill rapidly with water. At the time, she was without
pilot. It happened fortunately that a steamer hove ill
sight, and her Captain evinced the most praiseworthy
crtions to save the crew and passengers of the shipwrecked
vessel, in which he was partially successful. In a
quence of the wind blowing extremely fresh " t cons
the steamer was compelled to make several and tunes
only enabled to take off the sufferers from the ginking "r
sel by degrees. One elderly female was drowned, I°, '2l-;

who had only been confined the previous day, was rescu';

along with her infant. Before all the persons on boa
r.a

rigging was compelled to throw herself into the water' in
t
order to preserve her life. It is gratifying to state 1113.
she was safely dragged to the steamer by the bOat•b00"

The vessel was laden principally with ashes and starers;

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday, Messrs. Moseley and Inkpen, stage-coach
proprietors residing at Croydon, were summoned before
Mr. GaEGORIE and Mr. WHITE, by Carter, the informer,
to answer an information under the Hackney Carriage
Act, which charged the driver of their stage-coach, num-
bered 1,107, with having gone out of the line of road
to take up a passenger,• and thereby rendering his em-
ployers liable to a very heavy penalty.
Carter stated his case.

The book-keeper at the Ship, Charing-cross, deposed
that Mr. Hodson, the gentleman taken up, had sent his
servant to the booking-office in order that a place might be
reserved for him ; but the coach was to take him up in
Dean's-yard, as he had met with an accident and was un-
able to walk.

Mr. GREGORIE-It is quite evident that if the coach
had not driven there a hackney-coachman would have been
hired for the occasion, and this is a question which mate-
rially affects hackney-coachmen.
Mr. Moseley said that if a conviction were levied, it
would also greatly affect stage-coach proprietors.
The MAGISTRATES said that it was a case which re-
quired a great deal of consideration, and ordered it to be
adjourned for their adjudication.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 4
HUNT AND OTHERS V. MOORE.

The plaintiffs carrit,cl on an extensive business as cardmalters
in London, and the defendant had been one of the lirm of
Tullow, Moore, and Co., Auctioneers, in Calcutta. The ac-
tion was brought for money had and received to the plaintiff's
use, nod the defendant pleaded non assumpsit, except as to a
sum of 159/. Os. 5d , and that for that amount he had
given a bill of exchange. The plaintiffs bad for a series
of years been in the practice of consigning goods to the
defendant, fer the purpose of having them sold by auction
at Calcutta, and in the course of their dealings became
considerably indebted to the plaintiffs, who consented to
a composition of 10,4. in the pound, except as regarded
the sum of 159/. OF. sd. ; and for that sum a bill of ex-
change, dated November 22, 1832, drawn by Messrs.
Alexander and Co., barkers and agents, of Calcutta, on
Messrs. Fletcher, Alexander, and Co., in London, was re-
mitted to them. Shortly after that date, in December, 1832,
the bankers failed ; and in 1836 Mr. Moore, having dissolved
partnership, came to London. Against him, accordingly, the
present action was brought ; and the question was, whether
the auctioneers were bound to make good the money—without
receiving a commission of 21 per cent, upon the gurrantee of
the bill—independently of the 8 per cent. commission on the
sale.—'l he Jury found a verdict for the defendant.

SLAVERY.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition agreed to at a
public meeting, held at Exeter Hall, on Thursday, the 23d
of November last. The petition was unfortunately only signed
by the Chairman, the Honourable and highly respectable
IlL:mber for Warwickshire; and although he (ford B.) had
no doubt that it expressed the sentiments of the whole
who were assembled there, yet according to the forms of the
House it could only be received as the petition of the
Chairman himself. It complained of the inadequate
manner in which the provisions of the Emancipation
Colonial Slavery Act had been carried into execution,
and of the manner in which the slaves were now tr4a.'ed in
great towns, notwithstanding the enormous sum of money
which had been most liberally though justly awarded
for their emancipation ; and it prayed for the total ar,d
unconditional abolition of the apprenticeship system on
of before the Ist of August next. The petition had his most
cordial support, and he considered it right to express his en-
tire concurrence in one part of it which adverted to
the admirable conduct of our negro fellow-subjects in
the Colonies, who, under all the pressure they had
sustained had never allowed themselves to become in the
slightest degree ruffled, nor to show by their conduct the least
inclination to insubordination, which lie considered entitled
them more and more to the favourable consideration of the
Legislature.—Adjourned.
