LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1836.

Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S Bill for the better enforce-
ment of Sunday starvation and fanaticism, has at length
made its appearance—and a precious Bill it is ! Even
Praise-God-Barebones himself would be ashamed
to acknowledge the paternity of such a bantling. It
is impossible it can pass, for it is of the most whole-
sale, inquisitorial character, and at direct variance with
every dictate of religion, and every principle of common'
sense and common feeling. In the first place, it pro-
hibits all travelling by land or water ; secondly, it
shuts up all club-rooms, hotels, taverns, coffee-houses,
and cook-shops ; thirdly, it prevents all vessels from
leaving port ; and fourthly, it entails heavy penalties
on " every person who shall hire, or let out to hire,
any horse, or carriage." Mark the bare-faced par-
tiality of this last clause ! It does not affect the rich
man. He may drive or ride about on his horse or car-
riage,
just as he pleases ; but the poor man who has no
such luxuries at command, and would fain hire them
for a day's, or an hour's healthful recreation—he,
forsooth, must be punished for such presumption ; be-
cause that which is a harmless amusement when the
rich indulge in it, becomes downright sacrilege when
the poor attempt to enjoy it ! Then again, mark
the tyrannical, lunatic character of the clause, which
proposes to shut up all places of public entertainment.
Why, it is tantamount to the enforcement of general
starvation ! The stranger who, visiting London on
pleasure or business, and being ill-provided at his own
lodgings—a case of every day occurrence—should pro-
pose to_ dine at an hotel or tavern, would actually be
compelled to adjourn his dinner till Monday. In vain
would he apply for relief to the confectioner, or even
the baker ; both shops are shut up ; and he would
have nothing left for it, but to return home, and console
himself for the gnawings of the gastric juice—that most
emphatic of special pleaders—by the reflection that
Sunday starvation is acceptable in the eyes of the
Lord. But even this, preposterous as it is, is not
the worst clause in the Bill. No vessel must pre-
sume to set sail on the Sabbath, though it may
have been wind-bound for days, and a favouring breeze
may just happen to spring up on the Lord's Day. To
be sure, in this, as in the other cases •of grievance, the
Bill exempts works of " necessity" front the operation
of its stringent clauses ; but who is to say what is, or
what is not, " necessity ?" That which may appear a
matter of necessity to one man, may appear far other-
wise to another. Offenders and magistrates are apt to
r vitjgly eal this score. It may seem necessary to

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR

APRIL.

When we examine the condition of the growing crop we
see little or rather no cause for apprehension of failure.
The frosts which succeeded the rain of March and the
early part of this month, accompanied almost always by cold
winds, have not deteriorated the wheats to the degree that
might reasonably have been anticipated. On the contrary,
the few warmish days which even now (April 22) have
shown out have restored the colour, and the shoot has
been manifest. The re-action, should it please Providence
to grant us seasonable weather, will, we are persuaded, be
found equal very soon to bring the vegetation to its custo-
mary state ; and, perhaps, when there is stored in the
ground so much of the nourishment of the plant, waiting
only to fulfil its natural purpose—for the warm beams of
May, when the check given to the destructive insects by
this last year, a check not experienced for the preceding
three winters—when these circumstances are taken into
consideration, we see not the smallest reason to calculate
upon any deficiency to be occasioned by the backwardness
of the spring. Whether the coming on of harvest be
or be not protracted belongs much more to the months
which are to come than to those which arc past. One
month of really bright weather, co-operating with the
moisture with which the earth is now saturated, would pro-
bably place the whole growth in a better and more luxu-
riant, and of course a more forward, condition than has ap-
pertained to the previous springs, in which moisture, the
prime agent next to heat, has been wanting.
The barley sowing has been successfully concluded upon
all but the heaviest and wettest soils ; upon the lighter it
was, perhaps, never better got in, and we have seen some
up, and in very vigorous growth. The grass experiences,
and responds to the few warmer days. The turnips,
though now all but exhausted, have held out better than
was expected ; and the grass-lands will soon give their cus-
tomary supply—more, indeed, than for the last two or
three seasons—should the weather shine out brilliantly.

BRAMWELL V. HALCOMB.

This was a motion to dissolve an injunction granted
by the Vice-Chancellor to restrain the defendant, Mr.
Halcomb, from continuing the sale of a work on the sub-
ject of passing private Bills through the Houses of Par-
liament, because it contained a number of passages al-
leged to be pirated from a practical treatise on the manner
of passing Bills through the House of Commons, published
in 1809 by the plaintiff', Mr. Bramwell.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL argued in support of the ap-
plication to discharge the injunction.
The LOUD CHANCELLOR observed that injunctions were
merely preparatory steps to the decision of the rights of
the parties at law, but in the present case there were no
directions with respect to a trial of those rights, nor no
means by which they could be ascertained.
Mr. STUART, for the plaintiff, and in support of the in-
junction, undertook to show that a clear act of piracy had
been committed in thirty-two different passages of the plain-
tiff's book. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to read
these passages, when

His LORDSHIP rose, at two o'clock, intimating his in,
tention to hear the further argument to-morrow.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT.

ROBINSON V. WADDELOW.

In this cause it appeared a testator, after giving some
pecuniary legacies, settled by his will 10,0001. a piece upon
his two daughters and their children, the daughters' life-
interest to be independent of their husbands to whom they
were or might afterwards be married. And he then added
these words—" All the rest and residue of my effects to
be equally divided between my said daughters and their
husbands and families." The object of the bill was to ob-
tain the opinion of the Court upon the effects of this resi-
duary clause.

Mr. KNIGHT appeared for one of the daughters, and
contended the words were but an awkward and circum-
locutory manner of expressing that the testator's daughters
should have the residue between them, which of course he
expected they would apply for the benefit of their families.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the other daughter, sup-
ported the same position.
Mr. DUCKWORTH, on behalf of the children of one of
the daughters, insisted the parties took as tenants in com-
mon in equal portions.
Mr. SUTTON SHARPE suggested, on behalf of the chil-
dren of the other daughter, that the intention of the tes-
tator would be best complied %%ith by giving a life interest
to the daughters and the capital to their children.
111.1 CRAIG appeared for the executors, who stiumitted
the question to the Court.
His HoNouß held that he ought to reject the words
" their husbands and families," as being utterly vague and
indefinite, and that the daughters were entitled to the
general residue absolutely.

EQUITY EXCHEQUER.

LOVELL V. HICKS AND OTHERS.
This was a bill filed by the plaintiff, F. B. Lovell, against
the defendant R. Hicks, 0. H. Smith, W. Todd, and --
Watson, praying that a contract which had been entered
into between the parties on the 3d of March, 1832, might
be rescinded and set aside, op the ground of misrepresenta-
tion and fraud ; that the instrument might be delivered up
to be cancelled ; and the defendants directed to reimburse
and refund to plaintiff a sum of 3,0001. with.interest, and
be restrained by the injunction of the Court from pro-
ceeding at law for the recovery of the balance of 2,0001.,
in the said agreement mentioned. The material facts of
the case will be sufficiently understood from the judgment,
which was this day decided by
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The whole question resolved
itself into this, 'namely, whether the plaintiff had, in point of
fact, made out such a case of misrepresentation and fraud
as entitled him, after an acquiescence upon his part
for some time, to come to a Court of Equity to set
aside the contract, and obtain relief ; and if so, against
whom and to what extent should it be granted? ThJ
' principles which ought to govern the decision in this
case has been very clearly laid down by Lord Lyndhurst,
C. 8., in his able judgment 'in Small v. Attwood.
On the whole, he thought the plaintiff entitled to the re-
lief prayed for. As to the other defendants; they were not
affected either directly or indirectly by the fraud. They
only received their proportions of the money that bad been
received. The defendant Smith had no interest at all.
He was a mere nominal party, and had received no part
of the money ; but, with respect to the defendant Hicks,
the evidence was by no means such as to render it unlikely
that the fraud had been contemplated by him. The pro=
per relief, therefore, to give would be to order the agree-
ment to be cancelled ; that the defendants might be enjoined
from proSecuting any actions against the plaintiff ; that
the master do inquire how much of. the 3,0001. had been
respectively received by Hicks, Todd, and Watson, and
that each of these parties be decreed to repay what each of
them had respectively received ; that as against the defen-
dant Smith the bill be dismissed with costs, and a decree

THAMES- OFFICE.

Yesterday". Thomas iiakney,a seaman on board the Her-
cules, a Sydney trader, was brought before Mr. Ballantine
and Mr. Broderip, on a charge of feloniously cutting and
wounding, with intent to murder, Augustus Coaser, a Por-
tuguese seaman belonging to the same vessel.
The prosecutor, whose head was encased in linen wrap-
pings, on the 27th of March last, the vessel being then near
to Rio, on the coast of Brazil, said he felt a blow on the
back of his head, and fell on the deck. He remembered
no more till he some time afterwards found some of the
crew cutting the hair off his head, and dressing two wounds
which he had received, one in his head, and another on his
left shoulder. The vessel made Rio the next day, and he
was placed in the hospital, where he remained six weeks be-
fore he was pronounced out of danger, when he continued
his voyage bock to Europe. He understood that it was
the prisoner who inflicted the wounds, but he did not re-
member having ever given him any offence. He had lost a
small sum of money some time previous, and about three
days before the transaction took place, the prisoner asked
him if he suspected that he had taken the money, and he re-
plied that he never thought of suspecting him.
John Wood, carpenter on board the Hercules, saw the
prisoner take up his (witness's) axe from the combings of
the after hatchway, and run towards the deceased. Wit-
ness called out, and ran towards the spot ; but before he
could prevent it, the prisoner struck the prosecutor with
the axe in the head and shoulder. The axe was newly
ground and weighed six pounds. Witness did not believe
that the prisoner was in a sound state of mind when he
committed the act. He had not appeared right in his mind
since the vessel had been struck by a sea nine days before.
James Morley, the master of the Hercules, corroborated
the statement of the former witness, and added that the
prisoner was frightened on the 12th of March, when the
vessel was struck by a sea which washed nine men over-
board. The prisoner was not in his senses from that time
till the unfortunate transaction took place.
The prisoner, who appeared to be perfectly sane, had
no doubt that the unfortunate affair had taken place, but
that he had not the slightest remembrance of it.
Mr. BALLANTINE had no discretionary power ; the facts
had been proved, and he must commit the prisoner to take
his trial.
The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate on
the capital ch

large.

TOWN HALL.

Samuel Wheatley and Ann Wheatley, the two persons who
were brought before Sir John Key, yesterday, for assaulting
Ann Burfit, and who were remanded till this morning, were
brought up again to-day.
The policeman, whom the prisoner had charged with being
drunk, was in attendance, and denied in the strongest terms
that he was so, in which statement he was confirmed by se-
veral brother officers, and the Inspector, who stated that he
had been in the force for five years, and was a most efficient
officer.
Sir JOHN KE r inquired of the prisoners if they still per-
sisted in the statement that the house kept by the prosecutrix
was a house of ill fame; and on being answered in the affir-
mative, the worthy Magistrate stated that he had caused strict
enquiry to be made on the subject, and from the result of that
inquiry he was confident the statements of the prisoners were
totally false.
Several witnesses here came forward and stated that the
house kept by the husband of the prosecutor was a house for
lodgers of a poor description, but that it was conducted with
great propriety.
Sir JOHN KEY said that the assault was a most unwarrant-
able one, and that it had been aggravated by the endeavours
of the prisoners to take away the character of the prosccutrix.
He should therefore order them to find bail themselves, each
in 401., and two sureties of 201. each ; and that twenty-four
hours notice should be given of that bail.

BO W-STREET.

Yesterday a very well dressed man named John Hervey
Mitcham, and two others, named David Evans and James
Jones, were charged on suspicion of having robbed the
house of Mr. Tessier, the landlord of the Craven Head,
in Drury-lane, of a 5/. note, 201. in gold, and 101. in silver,
and two bills of exchange for the, sums of 10/. and 81.
Mr. Tessier deposed that about nine o'clock on Tuesday
evening, during his absence from home, his bedroom was
broken into, and the monies and securities above named
stolen therefrom.

Mary Teevan, the daughter of a respectable tradesman,
living at 85, Drury-lane, at nine o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing was standing at her father's door, which is very nearly
opposite to the Craven Hend, when she saw the prisoner
Mitcham and two men, whom she believed to be the other
prisoners, standing in Feathers-court, which adjoins her
father's house, and heard the former say to his companions,
at the same time pointing towards Mr. Tessier's house,
" Go straight up stairs, and no one will say anything to
you." The two men upon this went into the Craven Head,
Mitcham standing outside. She saw no more of them.
Mitcham asked if he might put a few questions to the
witness?

Mr. MiNsHuLL—Certainly.
Mitcham—Pray, Miss Teevan, are you certain that I
was one of the persons whom you saw in Feathers-court ?
Miss Teevan—Quite certain.
Mitcham—Are you sure the gaslight was sufficiently
strong to enable you to distinguish the features of any one
so as to swear to identity ? Witness—Quite so.
Mitcham then asked Mr. Tessier if he did not meet him
as nearly as possible at nine o'clock on Tuesday evening,
near Fitzroy-square, and whether it was not impossible that
he could have been opposite to the Craven Head at nine ?
Mr. Tessier said it was half-past eight, and there was
plenty of time to reach the Craven Head by nine. He had
dealt with the prisoner for tobacco and cigars.
111 r. Bailey, of the Blue Anchor, opposite the Craven
Head, deposed to seeing Mitcham lurking about the court
at nine o'clock, and that when he saw that he was observed
be walked away.
Johnson, a policeman, No. 50 F, apprehended the pri-
soners at the Cock and Magpie public-house, where he
found them in familiar conversation. They, however,
denied all knowledge of each other. On Mitcham he
found 4/. 18s. 11d. ; on Evans 2s. Pd. ; and upon Jones,
twopence-halfpenny.
The prisoners still denied all knowledge of each other,
and were remanded, they saying they knew nothing of the
robbery.

BOW STREET.

Samuel French was charged with embezzling various sums
of money belonging to his master, William Stewart, a baker
in Brydges-street.
The prisoner was sent out with bread and the weekly bills ;
of many of them he had received payment, and had not ac-
counted for the money to his master.
Mrs. King and Mr. Delaux proved the payment of the
bills, which were produced, and were discharged by the priso-
ner. He bad admitted the felony to the policeman, and said
he had been led to do so from being taken into bad company,
and ho hoped his master would be lenient with him.—Com-
mitted. . .

(prisoner) said, he supposed he was safe till the 15th.

THE EARL OF CARNARVON'S SEAT,

is proverbial.
The estate is divided into several lots, still reserving in their
original state some excellent Farms, including
STARGROVE HOUSE,
. . _

which, in the olden tunes, was the abode of the Proprietor, and
from its commanding position, will pres?nt irresistible claims to be
a little renovated, and thus restored to its ancient consequence.
The Church farm is equally eligible, and approaches the rural vil-
lage of East Woodhay, it was, in earlier times,
THE EPISCOPAL PARK
OP THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER.

The Land throughout the Estate is most excellent, and tic
tenants highly respectable. It is not only in the neighbourhood of
the best Markets in England, but possesses the additional charm of
field-sports e? every description. The soil is very congenial to
the growth of barley, and a considerable portion adapted to sheep
and turnip-farms—indeed. the land throughout is convertible.
There is an abundance of lime, so that the land is always secure in
having the best possible dressing. The Leaseholds under the
Bishop of Winchester will be Sold in the Lots stated in the parti-
culars of Sale. The Purchasers will have the privilege of taking
separate Leases of the Lets, and are to undertake to apply for and
accept such separate leases accordingly. The tenants will be so
good as show the different farms. ,

Particulars may be had, at the Star, Andover ; George, Speen-
hamlftnd ; the Jack of Newbury ; White Hart, Salisbury ; of Mr.
Bennett, White Oak, High Clcre ; of Mr. Baker, Newbury ; of
Mr. R. Bicknell, solicitor, Bloomsbury-square ; and at Mr. George
Robins's Offices, London.

EXTENSIVE FORGERY.

New York papers to the 10th inst. have been received,
which give the particulars of the most extensive forgery
ever known, as• it is said, in the United States. The
house of Benjamin Rathbun, of Buffalo, stopped payment
on the 3d inst. for 2,800,000 dollars, when it was disco-
vered that bills to the amount of 1,800,000 dollars had
been forged and circulated under his name, chiefly in New
York. Of these bills 70,000 dollars had been cashed by
the Bank of Ohio, Mr. Benjamin Rat'
Cher bad both been•arrested. Mr. Ra

tensivc builder, and had only laid the
Buffalo Exchange just previous to t.b•

other buildings were going on in 13uffai
tion. Upwards of 1,500 workmen, ar!
employ by_this. event.
_The_ gxeb.ange„,
proceeded with.
The following extracts of tt" letter wil,
of the very large scale of his operations :

" Mr. Rathbun's business was enormnut
addition to large operations in real est..
was constantly engaged, he was a contra

ing the greA hotel, and many other

this line he had shops and establishments ~,s own
for making bricks and furnishing and working all sorts of
materials for building. He had no less than four stores kept
in his own name, three of which were 150 feet deep, filled
with valuable merchandize. He owned the line of stages
from Buffalo to Batavia, and, in fact, almost all the lines
running out of that city, and for this and. other purposes
owned 600 horses. He employed 28 clerks and 2,000 other
persons in the various departments of operations. His
skill and enterprise, sustained by a large number of well-
known fortunate speculations, gave him a reputation for
talents and wealth, by which, until now, he has been able
to carry on these diversified and almost litniti.ess operations.
But he has failed at last. From statements ,vbich are as
good as can he had in such a case, we are led to }lope that
the consequences will not he ruin on so broad a scale as
had been anticipated, if indeed there is any ruin at all.
Mr. Rathbun, we understood, represented the whole
amount of his debts at 1,500,000 dollars, and on more that:
1,000,000 of his paper he acknowledged that he bad forged
the names of his rich neighbours. On a particular occasion
he procured L. F. Allen and eleven others to endorse three
of his notes for 5,0i0 dollars each. This was generally
known in Buffalo. I hese notes with the endorsements he
multiplied at his pleasure, and the forgeries passed unsus-
pected, as whenever a forged note was mentioned, it was taken
for one of the well-known and genuine ones. To pay the
1,500,000 dollars of responsibilities, Mr. Rathbun exhi-
bits a list of property.which he has conveyed to assiinaces,
valued at 2,500,000 dollars."

GUILDHALL.

Yesterday William Wilson, the driver of Hyron's omni-
bus from Islington to the Elephant and Castle, attended
before Mr. Alderman Birch, to answer the complaint of
Mr. Edwin Alderman, of Barbican, for driving furiously,
so as to endanger the lives of the passengers on Sunday
evening._

The- defendant went at the rate of only six miles an
hour, but was sorry he had given offence, and would not do
so again.
Mr. Alderman BIRCH adjudged him to pay a fine of 51.
and ss. costs, or in default to be imprisoned two months.
Ths prisoner was committed.
A merchant applied for the Magistrate's assistance to
recover a bill of exchange for 521. 175., which had been
wrongfully obtained and put into circulation. About two
months ago, a friend who came into his counting-house, and
saw the bill lying on his desk, asked him if he wanted to
have that discounted, as he could get it done immediately
if it were desirable. He replied he did not want cash just
then, but still if his friend could get it done without any di-
ficulty, he would have it. His friend took it to a third
person, who proved to be a man of straw, but who ad-
vanced Si. en the bill, and then got it discounted, and kept
the proceeds.
The clerk asked whether the applicant or his friend had,
on parting with the bill, given a written instruction to get
the bill discounted, and bring the proceeds to him, or if not
discounted to return it ?

The applicant said no precaution of this kind was thought
necessary.

The clerk said that as the direction of the statute it
this respect had not been observed, the applicant could not

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

The portrait, in this month's " Literary Gallery,"
is one of James Sheridan Knowles, but no more like
him, than "we to Hercules." In the first place,
honest James, one of the frankest and most cordial of
living beings, has nothing of sourness or primness in
his phiz ; secondly, he is not lean, or wiry like a Py-
renean wolf, but jolly, and " more fat than bard be-
seems"—his periphery bearing, in this respect, no
slight resemblance to that of the author of the " Sea-
sons." The memoir prefixed is smartly written, as
Fraser's Memoirs always are, but bestows very penu-
rious, and, we half suspect, reluctant, praise on our
best living dramatist. The writer too, we see, twits
James with being a Liberal. Of course he is—how
else could he have written " William Tell ?" How else
have left so many staunch friends behind him in Ame-
rica, and been feasted publicly throughout the length
and breadth of •the United States ? It is to Knowles's
honour that he is a Liberal, and to Oliver Yorke's
shame, that, with all his talent, he is just the reverse.
" Bacchanalia Memorabilia" is by " Nimrod," alias
Mr. Apperton, incomparably the best sporting writer
of his age. It is full of lively anecdote, and saga-
cious observation. One of the former we subjoin, 'for
it is far too good to be lost : _

" I once witnessed a rich scene with a drunken man some
years ago in the suburbs of Dublin. He was lying on his
face by the road side, apparently in a state of physical uncon-
sciousness. He is dead,' said a countryman of his, who was
looking at him. ' and !' replied another, who bad turned
him up with his face uppermost; by the Powers, I wish I
had just half his disase.' In other words, a moiety of the
whiskey he had drank." _ _

The " Possums of A ristophancs" is an ingenious
political satire. The " Jew of York" is a well-told
narrative, but the horrors are too elaborately laid on.
It is very inconvenient to be called upon to shudder
through twelve pages. " A letter from Athens to
Oliver Yorke" is a lively, desultory notice of Mr.
Wordsworth's late volumes of Travels in Greece.
Whoever wrote it is a scholar, and an enthusiastic one.
We say ditto to the " Prout Papers," which arc
learned, and sprightly in their learning. But why is
the good Father always so fond of attacking Moore ?
It will be long ere he acquires, with all his aptitude,
half the various knowledge, or half the genuine fancy,
of the author of " Lalla Rookh." " Ireland and the
Conciliatory System" is dreary drivel, and the " Gene-
ral Results of the past Session" not much better.
This last, indeed, is unleavened humbug throughout.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

(THIS DAY.)

GUILD fIALL,

A boy of about 11 or 12 years of age was brought before
Mr. Alderman BIRCH by the desire of his mother, a poor widow,
under the following circumstances :
The mother stated that in consequence of the propensity
of her boy to theivino, and other bad habits, she wished to get
him into the Philanthropic, but the rules of that institution
required the child should have been before a Magistrate.
Last week be had been sent upon an errand with 4s. 3d.,
which he had made use of for his own purposes. The police-
man in whose custody the boy was stated that he found 2s. on
him, and that he had told him he spent ls. 9d. in oysters and
apples ; the remainder he bad bought a cap with.
The ALDERMAN told the mother she might now go to the
officers of the institution, and state to them her son had been
at thezoffice, and he had no doubt she would gain her object.
The poor woman thanked the Alderman, and left the office
with an infant in her arms. The boy was ordered to be
brought up again to-morrow.
Elizabeth Fitzgerald and Charles White were sent to Bride-
well for 21 days, for stealing last night, from the door of a
pawnbroker in Farringdon-street, a pair of trowscrs, value 3s.
