COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Turs DAY.)

INJUNCTION.
LAWRENCE V. SMITH.

This morning the LORD CHANCELLOR directed
Mr. WETHERALL to proceed with his argument,
in answer to Mr. SHADW ELL, who was heard
on Thursday last in support of the injunction
which had been obtained to restrain the de-
fendant from publishing a series of Lectures on
Physiology Zoology, &c. delivered by the
plaintiff at the Royal College of Surgeons
in Lincoln's Inn-fields, it being contended that
the Copy-right of such work was vested ex-
clusively in the plaintiff; the ground upon
which it was sought to dissolve the injunction
was, that in many parts of the Lectures the
Immortality of the Soul was denied, and that
being contrary to the Christian Religion, and
Law of the Land, did not entitle the plaintiff to the
protection of the Courts of either law or equity
in this country. The LORD CHANCELLOR was
of the same opinion, and stated that until a Court
of Law had shewn the book to be entitled to
their protection, the injunction could not be sus-
tained.—lnjunction dissolved.

It, has been incoreectly stated, that " the Revenue Cruisers
have been again placed under the directions of tile Lords
of the Treasury, instead of the Board of Admiralty." The
Revenue Cruisers in England have been placed under the direc-
tions of the Board of Customs, and the whole of the Preven-
tive Water Guard in England has been transferred from the im-
mediate superintendence of the Treasury to the Commissioners
of Customs. No change has been made in regard to the Reve-
nue Cruisers in Scotland ; there, the Tugged nature of the coast,
and the stormy elements which surround it, compel the smuggler
to carry on his operations in vessels of greater size and force.—
The largest Cruisers are, therefore, required for the protection
of the Revenue, and these remain under the direction of the
Board of Admiralty.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION of the IRISH PEASANTS.

Yesterday a General Meeting was held at the Freemasons'
Tavern, Great Queen-street, for the purpose of taking into
consideration the propriety of forming an Auxiliary Society in
London, in aid of the Society established in Ireland for pro-
moting the education of the Irish peasarits through the medium
of their own language.
At two o'clock the Bishop of Gloucester (one of the Vice-
Patrons of the Parent Society) took the Chair, and opened the
business in an excellent speech.
The Secretary (the Rev. Mr. Serr) then read the Report,
which stated, among a variety of facts, that the labours of the
Society had extended over a great part of the disturbed dis-
tricts, and had distributed 146 translations in Irish of the New
Testament ; and wherever the agents of the Society had made
their appearance, they were received by the peasantry, who
on being addressed in their own language, had often shed tears
at the eloquence of the speakers, and some of them have de-
clared they would follow. the Missionaries to the world's
(Cheers:)—Translations of the Bible had been scattered over
the Isle of NI an, the inhabitants of which place were much im-
proved by them. The Report then proceeded in very powerful
terms to recommend that the Scripture be delivered to the pea-
santry in their own language, and concluded by making an
animated appeal to the meeting for their subscriptions to carry
on the benevolent objects of their assembling.
The Bishop of Nonwicn spoke in approbation of the society;
and concluded by proposing a resolution, That a society called
the London Auxiliary Society for promoting the education of
the native Irish, be established.
Lord LILF ORD seconded the resolution.
Mr. WILBERFORCE took a review of the Societies which
had been established for religious purposes, and expressed his
conviction that disseminating the Scriptures in the Irish lan-
guage, among the peasantry would be attended with the most
beneficial effects.

Lords Calthorpe, Gosford, arid lAlford, Sir Thomas Baring,
the lion. C. Shore, and several other Gentlemen, also addressed
the Meeting; and it was decided that this Society should be
considered as a branch of the Parent Society, and be called
the London Auxiliary Society for promoting religion among
the Irish in their own language, which title it was determined
should be referred to the Committee.

BRIGHTON, MARCH 24.—The KING continues
in the enjoyment of excellent health. His MA-
JESTY attended Divine Service this morning in
his private chapel. In the pew with the Sove-
reign were the Lord Steward and the Hanoverian
Ambassador. His MAJESTY was plainly hahited
in blue, and wore a star.

We have heard from a source of intelligence
On which we can rely, that his MAJESTY is not
to honour Scotland with his presence this sum-
mer.—(Glasgow Paper.)
The Gibraltar Chronicle, of the 4th instant,
says,—" It having been ascertained at Marseilles
that the yellow fever was completely at an end
in Spain, the Board of Health of that City has
withdrawn its order of the 26th of September
last, forbidding the admission of vessels coming
from that kingdom or the Balcarac Islands ; and,
accordingly, they will henceforth be allowed to
perform, quarantine in the Lazaretto of Marseilles
or Toulon."
