CIVIL COURT-BOYDEI.I. V. JONES

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney, re-
siding in Devonshire-street, Queen-square., London, to re-
cover from the defendant, who was a joint proprietor of a
newspaper published in Greenwich, and styled the Greenwich
Patriot, damage's for the insertion of a libel, reflecting upan
the professional character of the pldiatiff
After hearing evidence, the Jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages 51.

MURRELL V. MARTIN.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman of
some fortune residing at Oxford, and who is also the lay im-
propriator of the tithes of the parish of Hawkhurst, in this
county, to recover from the defendant two stacks of wheat
which had been seized by him, acting as constable of the
parish in question. The action was in replevin.
During the trial several points of law arose upon the vali-
dity of the highway rate, for the non-payment of which the
goods in question were taken, and which were reserved for the
consideration of the Court above, Disputes had before arisen
as to the right of the defendant to enforce the payment of the
rate in question, and much litigation has taken place between
the parties upon the subject. The present result of the case
was that a verdict was found for the plaintiff upon the first
issue, and for the defendant generally upon the others, with
leave to each of the parties to move to enter verdicts generally
in their favour.
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGH.—RIDDELL O. DENNISON.
In this case the plaintiff brought an action against the de-
fendant to recover damages for an alleged breach of promise cf
marriage on his part: The plaintiff and the defendant both
resided at Croydon.' Their respective ages, it appeared, were
38 and 33. The lady (plaintiff) was possessed of property,
and lived with her aunt, and the defendant was a builder. In
the course of the case several letters, written by the defendant
to the plaintiff, were read, which from the strange mixture of
expressions of love and business excited great laughter in the
Court. One of the witnesses also dedosed to bearing the de-
fendant say, " that if ever he married any one, he would unite
himself to the plaintiff, and no other person." On another
occasion it appeared that the defendant had said " that he was
going into the country to look for a house, and that she could
pack up her clothes with his, and that she (Ole plaintiff) need
not make herself uncomfortable about the matter."
Mr. Justice PAT-TYSON addressed the jury, who after a brief
deliberation found a verdict for the plaintiff--damages one
farthing.

ECLECTIC REVIEW. Bull.

The February Number of this Dissenting periodical, a
new series of which was lately commenced, is distinguished
by the variety of its contents, and by the talent with which
the different subjects aro treated. We have sometimes
imagined that the spirit of the Eclectic Review was not
quite so tolerant as, under all circumstances, it ought to
have been ; but we are glad to say that in the Number be-
fore us, we see nothing that can be supposed to.trench on
religious liberty, taken in its most enlarged sense. On the
contrary, the conductors of this work seem to act, in their
editorial capacity, under a conscientious impression of the
great duty of holding inviolate the right of private judg-
ment in matters of religion—a right which multitudes who
acknowledge it in words are in the constant habit of im-
pugning in practice.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

We have here a continuation of the article en the
" French Newspaper Press," which acquaints us with the
character and circulation of all the daily Journals which are
published in Paris. One of the most flourishing of these is,
it seems, the Cortrricr Francais, which is under the controul
of a gentleman named Chatelain ; is honest and independent
in its politics, which are those of the Opposition ; is con•
ducted with skill and ability ; and " advocates, when neces-
sary, the cause of Protestantism against any attacks or
unjust influence on the part of the Romish priests." The
National used to be thu most powerful political organ in
France, and the most prosperous, notwithstanding the fre-
quent and expensive Government prosecutions against it ;
but since the death of Armand Carrell, it has lost much of
its influence, though it still keeps up a large circulation.
" Whitfield's Life and Times" is a just review of a lately
published memoir of this famous evangelical preacher,
whose character is thus tersely pourtrayed :—" 'Whitfield's
soul burned with the love of whatsoever things are pure,
and just, and lovely, and of good report. The enthusiasm
of heaven was in the man's heart. The world above him
had displaced the world beneath him from his soul. He
drank divinity from air, ocean, earth, and heaven. His
very pen was tinctured with the hues of eternity." If we
remember rightly, it is of this celebrated preacher, or per-
haps Huntingdon, that the anecdote is recorded, that he
one night prayed for a new pair of corduroy shorts, and
next morning found them under his pillow ! The " State
of the Stage" is a lengthy disquisition, but like most such
disquisitions, comes to no conclusion. Surely there need
be no more wordy speculations on the cause of the decline
of the drama! The cause lies in a nut-shell. People will
not pay to go and see it. They prefer reading at home,
frequenting clubs, or dancing in drawing-rooms. The
" Fabulists" is a light, rambling essay, chiefly on Gay and
Fontaine. The remaining articles call for no particular
comment.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEE. 6.
BAKER V. WINDER.

Upon a motion to dissolve a common injunction, which was
heard a few days ago, a singular question of copyhold law,
which has lately been before the Court of Queen's Bench, was
agitated. A devisee of copyholds died before admission,
having enjoyed the property during his life, and devised it to
persons, one of whom was, with another person, his coheir.
The heir of the original devisee then brought an ejectment,
and recovered a moiety of the property. The present Bill was
then filed to restrain execution, and to have it declared that
the heir of the original devisor was a trustee merely for the
devisee and his heirs.

His HONOUR this morning would continue the injunction,
because, at any rate, there was a question to be argued,
whether, on the true view of the case, the heir of the devisor
was not a trustee for the devisee.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FEB. G.
sTEEVENS V. ARCHER.

Mr. FILE stated that this was an action of slander. The
plaintiff was an artists' colourman, residing in St. Martin's-
lane, and the defendant was a boot and shoemaker, residing in
the same place. Both of them had been in the habit of meet-
ing at a public-house kept by a Mr. Sydserff. They had for-
merly been on friendly terms with each other, but at last some
dispute, into which it is not necessary to enter, had arisen be-
tween them, and the defendant had thought fit to utter slan-
derous expressions of the plaintiff. These expressions did not
impute to him any immorality, but they tonded to injure him
in his credit and business, and they had, in one instance at
least, produced that effect.
After hearing evidence, the jury returned a verdict for the
defendant.

W OR SHIP- STREET.

Yesterday J. Jones and 7. Riley, the eldest not twenty
years of age, were placed at the bar before Mr. Codd and Mr.
Broughton, charged with robbery. Another young man of
the name of Goldsmith, was charged with being a❑ ac-
complice. Goldsmith was discharged, and the other two pri-
soners were remanded.
London, England, 1838-06-07

TV 01?S111P-STREET.

Yesterday William Pou,ten was placed at the bar before
Messrs. BROUGIITON and GRovE, charged with beating his
child over the head with a stick so as to put her in danger of
her life. The complainant, who is about 14 years of age, had
her neck and arms covered with bleed, which proceeded from
a severe cut on her head.

Sarah Pounten, the complainant, lives with her father and
mother-in-law, in Macclesfield-place, City-road. She was
cleaning a room that morning about eleven o'clock, when her
mother came to her, and stated that she ought not to have
been so long about it. She left, when in a few moments her
father came, and, without saying a word, struck her over the
head with a thick stick till the blood spirted out.
John Truckle, No. 3, Macelcsfield-place, heard the child
scream that morning. He looked through the parlour win-
dows, when he saw her upon the ground and the prisoner was
beating her with the stick with great violence. She has
a younger brother and sister, who are her step-mother's
children. _ _

Mr. GROVE.—Are the other children treated in the same
way ?
Witness.—No, your Worship, they arc not treated like this.
Mr. BROUGIITON.—Have you seen anything wrong in the
girl ?
Witness.—No, S:r ; she is a very inoffensive girl. She is
made to carry the children about of the mother-in-law, and al.
ways appeared to work hard.
The complainant was ordered to be placed under the care of
the parish officers of St. Luke's, and the prisoner was held to
bail, himself in 401. and two sureties of 207. each, to keep the
peace for three months toward the complainant and all her
Majesty's subjects.

ST. JAMES'S-STREET.
FIRST-RATE BUSINESS PREMISES.
EBENHANI and STORR respectfully an-
nounce that they have received instructions from Mr. Lewis,
silversmith and jeweller to the Royal Family, to SELL, at Mr.
Bromley's Picture Gallery, 26, St. James's-street, on 3loNmor
next, June 11, at One, the LEASE of those commanding and
admirably-situated PREMISES, 22, St. James's-street, having a
frontage of nearly 80 feet, and fitted, regardless of expense by the
present spirited proprietor, with unusual eonveniences for domestic
comfort, and display suitable for a first-rate business. The roomy
and splendid shops are entirely glazed with plate glass of large
dimensions and of unusual thickness, in Spanish mahogany frames.
so constructed as, at a trifling expense, that all communication
with the dwelling house may be cut off, and which would then form
a very desirable residence for a bachelor of rank, or a Member of
Parliament, enabling a tenant requiring only the lower part to con-
duct his business entirely rent free. The premises are equally eli-
gible for any other business than that so successfully conducted by
the present proprietor, where respectability of situation, and a
light, commodious, and commanding shop are indispensable.
Further particulars, with conditions of sale, may be obtained
upon the premises ; at the place of sale ; and of the Auctioneers,
King-street, Covent-garden.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a little boy named lVells, was brought before
Mr. JEREMY charged with stealing a ring and some other ar-
ticles of jewellery, and pledging the former article at a pawn-
broker's shop.
Mr. JEREMY said that the pawnbroker had acted very im-
properly, in taking in such a pledge from a boy of that de-
scription, and the Magistrate directed a summons to be issued
against the pawnbroker, to answer the charge.

FIRE-PROOF COMPOSITION

Yesterday the efficacy of this curious composition was sub-
jected to the test of a very severe experiment, and the experi-
ment was quite successful.
The object of the invention is to rmder wood or other sub-
stances proof against ignition, and thus to confine a fire to the
apartment in which it may have originated. For the purposes
of yesterday's experiment a small house, of pis rooms, in Dor-
set-street, Clapham-read, was selected. The House was un-
finished, but the uprights in the walls, and tee timber-works
generally, were covered with the compositiotr. One room
alone was furnished with a bed-stead, chairs, and f able. Com-
bustibles were then fired in each apartment in succe:iion, but
the great object of curiosity, naturally enough, was Oke fur-
nished one. Tire furniture, of course, was destroyed,
perhaps, we are quite safe in saying, that so intense a ht at
could not have been applied in the same space, under the cir-
cumstances of any ordinary conflagration. Still the fire did
not spread, and the remainder of the room was not injured.
The same was the case with the other rooms, and when this
successful experiment was concluded the wordwork was found
totally unharmed.
At one moment, indeed, it was imagined that a failure had,
occurred. The lintel of one of the windows took fire And was
consumed, in consequence of the accidental omission Df the
protecting composition, but the moment the flames came in
contact with the prepared timber they went no farther.
Of the ingredients of the composition we are quite igno-
rant. It is of a gi•cy colour, and appears to have about the
consistency of mortar, for which substance we were told it has
been successfully used as 0 substitute. It dries hard, so hard,
indeed, as to admit of consid,-vable
A great many respectable pe:sona were, present, and took
much interest in the proceedings. After the experiment, some
30 or 40 gentlemen adjourned to a marque put up in a pad-
dock close by, and partook of an elegant rellation provided by
the hospitality of the Provisional Directors, rhos" politeness
and attention in this, as in the former part cf the a.,:ty, could
not have been exceeded.

IMPROVED PATENT WATER CLOSETS.
J. ODY begs to inform Architects, Surveyors, Builders, and
Gentk'men repairing their houses, that he has received his Majesty's
Royal Letters Patent for an improved construction of Water Closets,
which has tw very important advantages over all others, v z.. simplicity
and economy. The whole apparatus only occupies a space of two feet
square, is perfeetly free from any offensive effluvim, has an ample supply
of Water always standing in the Basin, and is not liable to be out of order.
Urinary closets on the same principle, admirably Adapted for Public
Buildings, Hotels, &c. The following apparatus in the usual Valve
Closet have been dispensed with, the service box and valve, the spring
lever and pipe to conduct the wire, the air or ()trap, the cranks and wire
to open the valve in the service box—all of which are liable to be cut of
order.

THE EQUITABLE TRUSS SOCIETY.
Capital 50,0001., in Shares of Si. each.
Deposit 1/. per Share.
This Society has been formed for the purpose of supplying public
institutions, the medical profession (to whom peculiar advantages
will be offered) and the public at large, with Trusses of a superior
construction and manufacture. When it is considered how many
persons are afflicted with hernia, together with the exorbitant
charges at present made by individual artists for instruments
adapted to the cure or relief of the complaint, the introduction of a
more economical remedy will, no doubt, meet with general support,
and this Society will, from their superior advantages in the manu-
facture of the articles, be enabled not only materially to reduce the
pricy of the same to the Public, but to pay to Shareholders a large
dividend on the invested capital.
No Shareholder will be liable beyond his paid up capital, and no
calls will exceed 1/. at any one time, nor at intervals of less than
three months.

Detailed prospectuses may be obtained on application to the Se-
cratary, at No. 90, Leadenhall-street, to whom all applications for
Shares must be made.

SPIRIT MARKET.

Rum continues in good demand, and prices are firm, but not higher.
The chief business is in Leelvards. Not much passing in Brandy, Corn
Spirits, or Geneva, and prices unaltered.

HAY MARKET.

The supplies to-day were larger, and the demand continuing good,
prices were firm. Meadow Hay, t;Os. to 108 s. ; Clover ditto, 100 s. to
115 s. ; Straw, 38s. to 423. per load.

TA LLO W MARKET.
P. Y. C. to-day 463. both ways, and not receiving much busineLs,
- COLONIAL MARKET.

To-day we had public sales of 609 bags Ceylon Coff,e, 201 cks. and
130 bags 8.P., and 222 bags Brazil. The Coffee market did rr_t show
so much spirit to-day as yesterday ; but we do not call prices lower. Bice
—9OO bags Bengal were put up to sal; and realized rather higher prices
than yesterday. Pepper, 920 bags Black were put up and bought in at
former prices. Cassia Lignea 320 chests sold at rather more money.
British Plantation Sugar sold steadily at yesterday's prices ; 5,000 bags
Mauritius Sugar were put up, and went at about former prices—if
any alteration we should say rather easier, but not lower. Indeed the
whole of the Colonial Market may be regarded as not showing so much
spirit to-day as it did yesterday; and this we attribute to the quantity of
goods that have been announced for next week, in consequence of the
firmness of the market yesterday.
For to.morrow we have public sales advertized of 2,153 bags 'Bengal
Sugar—duty paid ; 107 hhds. Trinidad ; 1,123 bags Mauritius ; 150
hhds. new Barbadoes. Small parcels of British Plantation, Ceylon,
East India, and Mocha Coffee, and 200 bags Grenada Cocoa. The im-
ports to-day very light.'

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 6.
A gcod demand was experienced for Cotton both front speculators
and dealers, the former having taken 500 American. Our last quota-

We regret to learn that the Marquis of Sligo has
been much indisposed the whole of the last week, and is still ccnfined

Mr. Blake of Penrith, has now in his possession

from the Earl of Carlisle's pit on Tindall Fell.
LORD BANDON.—We have heard most extraordi-

In SOlllO districts the loss in sheep stock is very con-

,On Saturday night about twelve o'clock, Captain
Wylie, of the brig Enterprize, lying in Falmouth harbour, accompanied
by his carpenter, David Frazer, and an apprentice called David Forbes,
left the pier in a sailing boat to go on board his vL:sscl ; but on the pas-
sage the boat upset, and the whole party was drowned. The bodies have
since beer discovered; and on Wednesday an int,aest was held, when the
Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned."—Falmouth ,Express.
London, England, 1838-06-07

Lord J. RUSSELL begged to state, that ia voting, as he
should do, against the second reading of this Bill, he did not
intend to vote against the principle that some alteration should
be made in the present system. He thought that in a matter
involving the expenditure of so much money, there should be
some more appropriate and, he must say, some more popular
mode of administration.
The House then divided—
For the Bil1..
Against it
Majority against the Bill 6B
EXPENSES AT ELECTIONS BILL.

The Home then went into Committee on the Expenses at
Elections Bill.

The question that the preamble be postponed was agreed to.
On the question that the Bill be considered paragraph by
paragraph,
Colonel SIBTHO RP said that he intended to have
opposed the Speaker's leaving the chair, and he must say
that he was astonished at the celerity which the Right Hon.
Gentleman left his place.—( A laugh.) He should therefore
now move as an amendment that the Chairman report pro-
gress, and ask leave to sit again.
Mr. EIUME contended that they should consider the Bill
in order to remedy any defects it might present.
After a conversation, in which Mr. Hume, Sir E. Knatch-
bull, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Darby, Mr. S. O'Brien, and Lord
Worsley took part,
Mr. HUME, in reply, said that those who were sent to
that House to perform a public duty, ought to be returned
free of expense. But it would be unfair to reject the Bill
because lion. Members objected to some parts of it. If the
House was averse to throw on the counties and boroughs any
of the expenses, they might alter the clauses, and let the
burden still remain on the candidates, but they need not
throw out the Bill, and prevent the carrying out of the other
provisions. _ _

The House divided, and the numbers were—
For reporting progress
Against it 43
Majority —2B
The House ace,,rdinnly resumed, and the Chairman re-
ported progress.
