MIDDLESEX.

Messrs. COVENTRY and KEEN held their Court yester-
day, at the Court-house, Marylebone.
(Before Mr. COVENTRY.)
The lists for the parishes of Marylebone and St. Pancras
came on for revision. In the former list, Mr. Hovenden
and 41 other gentlemen claimed to be registered in the fol-
lowing words :—" Freehold, as Vestrymen of St. Maryle-
hone, freehold land and buildings in St. John's Wood burial
ground ; freehold land and buildings called the Court-house
and Station-house, in Marylebone-lane, all in the parish of
Marylebone."
Mr. Adey took a preliminary objection.
Decision deferred.
The lists of this district having been closed,
Mr. COVENTRY proceeded to give judgment in the case
of the Masters and Six Clerks in Chancery, which had
come before him in the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn.
The names of the Masters were erased.
The case of claims of the Six Clerks in Chancery was
then called on.
Mr. COVENTRY said the Six Clerks claimed to be in-
serted as voters for the county in respect of certain cellars
under their offices, and other premises. The Middlesex
Committee had decided that each individual Six Clerk was
not entitled to a vote, and to that decision he'should adhere.
He should therefore expunge the names.
(Before Mr. KEEN.)
The lists of the parishes of St. James and St.. Ann, West-
minster ; St. George, Hanover-square ; and Paddington,
were revised. No new point of interest arose, but, in the
course of the day,
Mr. KEEN pronounced his decision on the case reserved
from Limehouse, of the 16 Directors of the Plate Glass
Company. Mr. Keen having stated the facts of the case,
pronounced judgment against the claims.

On Monday, the 7th instant, a General Assembly
of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of
Arts in Somerset House, when Mr. John P. Knight was
elected an Associate, and Mr. Robert Graves an Associate
Engraver, of that Institution.
This morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a
shocking and melancholy accident occurred to Henry Way-
land, Esq., a gentleman residing in Park-street, Grosvenor-
square. It appears from the statement of his groom that
his master was engaged purchasing a valuable horse of a
dealer. Mr. W. desired his groom to run the animal up
and down the mews for the purpose of seeing his action,
which was done and approved of. Previous to his being
led away, the unfortunate gentleman advanced too near his
hind legs, for the purpose of looking at his quarters, when
the animal suddenly kicked out, and struck him with such
tremendous violence in the mouth as to dash nearly every
tooth from out of it, besides fracturing his jaws in a frightful
manner. He was immediately carried home quite insensible.
Our obituary contains a notice of the death of John
Marshall, jun., Esq., at his residence in London on Monday
last. The late Mr. Marshall was one of the first Members
returned for this borough under the Parliamentary Reform
Act. The decided part which he and his family had taken
as advocates of Parliamentary Reform in this country, and
his own extensive knowledge, commercial and political, in-
duced his fellow-townsmen to place him at the head of the
poll on that. memorable occasion. His ardent and perse-
vering devotion to his Parliamentary duties, combined with
the pernicious system of legislation by which the whole le-
gislative business of the country is centralised in the metro-
polis, and necessarily transacted within A few months in
each year, proved so oppressive to his constitu:ion, as to have
brought him to the grave in the vigour of maDhood. By
those who were acquainted with Mr. Marshall in private
life his loss will be, most deeply felt, and his enlightened en-
deavours to promote education and extend knowledge will
much enhance the regret of his fellow-townsmen at his me-
lancholy and premature decease.—Leeds Times.
In the neighbourhood of Worcester the anomaly of
snow on the ground and applei on the trees was witnessed
on Saturday last.— Worcester Journal.
According to a work published on insanity, by order
of the Government, it appears that, on an average, there are
285 mad tailors in every 1,000. Many medical men have
attributed this great proportion to the sedentary position
adopted by this class of men.—French Paper.
INCENDIARISM.—We were hoping that this diabo-
lical indisposition was buried ; but we are sorry to have to
state, that four large wheat stacks and a rick of oats were
set on fire between 10 and 11 o'clock on Saturday night
last, in an enclosed field between Triplow and Foulmire,
Cambridgeshire, the property of Mr. Joseph Ellis, of Trip-
low. The perpetrators were very dexterous at their busi-
ness, as all the stacks, &c. began to burn at the same time.
The property was insured in the Phoenix Fire-office.--
Courtly Chronicle.
BLACKHEATH.—There is a tradition which has
been handed down for ages from father to son, but which
has never, that we know of, been traced to any authentic
source, that this place derives its name from the fact of its
covering a large field of coal, but which, though so con-
tiguous to the metropolis, has never been opened, lest such
a supply should interfere with the valuable nursery for sea-
men which the coal trade to the port of London furnishes.
The rumour that there are coals under Blackheath is, we
see, again revived, but probably with no better foundation
or prospect of being realised than heretofore.
The house of Joseph Brotherton, 'Esq., M.P.,
King-street, Salford, was, early on the morning of Tuesday,
entered by the grid of the coal-cellar. The thieves took out
of the house a quantity of plate, three dozen knives and
forks, a silk dress, and various other articles. Before quit-
ting the scene of their depredations, judging from appear-
ances, it would seem that they had regaled themselves with
whatever they could find in the house to cat. The family
had not retired to rest until nearly one o'clock that morning,
so that the probability is that the thieves had been on the
watch all night. The robbery was discovered about half-
past six in the morning.—Manchester Guardian.
