COURT OF HEREFORD

In this case a rule had been obtained, calling on the de-
fendant to shout cause why a prohibition should not be is-
sued to him, prohibiting him from further proceeding in a
suit instituted in the Ecclesiastical Court of the Dean of
Hereford agains,•. a clergyman of a parish within that dio-
cese. The suit consisted of several charges made against
the clergyman, alleging him to have been guilty of drunken-
ness, of disorderly conduct, of trading as a layman, of neg-
lect of ecclesiastical duties, of having for hire and reward
permitted pigs to feed in the churchyard, of having as-
saulted a person specifically named, and of having been
guilty of other unclerk-like acts, to the great scandal, &c.
Mr. MAULE showed cause against the rule.—Rule
discharged.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 10.
MELLIN V. TAYLOR.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said in the course of the day,
with reference to the rule nisi that was granted in this well-
known crim. con. case on Saturday last :—" Mr. Creswell,
in that case in which you moved for a rule the other day,
it has since occurred to us, that before we make any order
we ought to hear the opinion of the Learned Judge be-
fore whom the case was tried ; so that, if you please, you
will consider the rule suspended, so far as any further
proceedings are concerned, until we have communicated
with that Learned Judge. We will then let you know our
opinion."

COURT OF REVIEW, Nor. 10.
IN RE WILLIAM CHIFNEY.

This was an application to set the fiat of bankruptcy
issued in this case aside, on the ground that the bankrupt
followed no business that entitled him to become a bank-
rupt. The individual against whom the fiat of bankruptcy
was issued is the celebrated Newmarket horse jockey, who
was described as a horse-dealer. _

Mr. SWANSTON, in support of the application, read affi-
davits showing that the bankrupt had never traded in
horses as a dealer, on his own account.
On the other side, several affidavits were read, showing
that for twenty years and upwards the bankrupt had bought
and sold horses for his own profit.
The COURT ordered that a viva voce examination of the
witnesses should take place, to enable the Court to say whe-
ther the act of trading alleged was sufficient.

ARCHES' COURT, Nor. 10.

THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED BY TAYLOR V. MORLEY.

In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when
we went to press, the Court, after hearing evidence, said, it
would give judgment on a future day.

Mr. O'Connell arrived at his residence in Merrion-
square at a late hour on Saturday night, accompanied by
his son, Mr. Morgan O'Connell, M.P. for Meath. We
are happy to learn that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
is in tolerably good health, though deeply afflicted by his
late bereavement. . We understand that he will receive no
visitors whatever for a few days.—Dublin Paper.
There is no time fixed for their Majesties occupying
Buckingham Palace. At all events it is not likely to take
place before the improvements in Pimlico ale finished, for
which an Act has been passed, but they are not to com-
mence till 1839. It is intended to take down some build-
ings immediately at the rear of the Palace, to make large
sewers through Petty France, where there are none at
present, and afterwards a grand road leading to the back
of the Palace.
On Saturday night a most dreadful fire broke out
-- Shirley, Esq., in the parish
at Pippingford, the seat of
of Maresfield, which reduced the mansion to ashes. Un-
fortunately, the proprietor bad lately expended large sums
of money on improvements.
DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning,
about six o'clock, one of the blue vans belonging to Messrs.
Moore and Co., of Hastings, arrived at the corner of Ar-
thur-street East, near the Monument, when the driver
pulled up to have one of the wheels locked in order to re-
gulate its descent to the market at Billingsgate. Directly
the horses were driven on, the van overturned with a violent
crash, whereby a respectable woman, one of three passen-
gers, had her thigh bone broken and otherwise so dreadfully
fractured, that it was necessary to convey her with all speed
to Guy's Hospital, where she remains in a dreadfully mu-
tilated state. It was only last week that a van, the pro-
perty of the same company, upset near the same spot; and
the repeated accidents are said to arise from the immense
quantity of heavy fish baskets piled on the roof of the ve-
hicle, by which they are rendered top-heavy, and the lives
of the passengers put in extreme jeopardy.
When Sir Harford Jones went Ambassador to Per-
sia,„. the letter which he carried from George 111. to the
Sehah, was, during the journey of the embassy through
Persia, always placed in a takht-e-ravan, or litter, which
was escorted by ten Indian troopers and an officer. When-
rver the train stopped, the letter was taken out with sound
of trumpet, and deposited in the tent of ceremony, under a
cloth of gold ; a sentry with a drawn sword was placed
over it, and no one was permitted to sit with his back to
it.--Mirror.

A letter from Chartres states that a trial is about to
take place there of a most revolting character. Mademoi-
selle T--, of the Commune of Sainville, is accused of
having murdered four children whom she had by a carter
employed by her mother. The bones of the children have
been exhumed, and will be produced on the trial. The
wretched female has, it appears, confessed that she was the
mother of two other children, and that she buried them be-
cause they were still-born.
We have just seen printed, on a large sheet of
green paper, in letters of gold, the names of the liberal
and independent electors of the borough of Ripon, who, in
January, 1835, recorded their votes in favour of Mr.
Staveley, the Reform Member. The electors deserve this
compliment.
At Oldham the attempts to make peace between the
masters and the journeymen cotton spinners have failed.
The masters, who on Saturday week had paid their hands
ten per cent. advance, had the money returned, and it was
feared that on Saturday last no fewer than fifteen thousand
persons would be out of work, and the mills wholly at a stand.
A letter of the 20th ult., from Plock, in Poland,
says :—" One of our priests having consecrated a marriage
between a Russian officer and the wife of a Polish refugee,
still living in France, he was suspended by his bishop. Mar-
shal Paskewitsch, however, on being informed of the facts,
reinstated tiat priest, and displaced the bishop, at the same
time confiscating' all his property, so that he is ouliged to
rely upon the charit;' of his flock for a subsistence ! Upon
this occasion, likewise, pn edict was issued, declaring the
divorce de facto of all the wt,-es of Poles who had emigrated.
A Muscovite, who marries a l'u.!. woman,obtains a place
if he has not one already, and if /IC
has is promoted to a
better ; if he be a peasant, a cottage anti
a piece of land is
given to him. Any Polish widow or wife whor marries a
Muscovite is bound to relinquish the religion of her former
husband, and embrace the religion of her new spouse. In
mixed marriages, between Catholics and Protestants, both
parties must enter the Greek church.'—Gailignani's

Died, on Saturday night last, at Lewisham, in Kent,
after a long and painful illness, Mr. James Robins. He.
was many years a bookseller and publisher in Ivy-lane,
Paternoster-row, and was also the Author and Editor of
several works, among which was, " The History of Eng-
land during the reign of George the Third," which he pub-
lished under the assumed name of " Robert Scott," and
which went through two large editions. He was of a kind
and amiable disposition, and much respected by all who
knew him.

FIRE IN THE LOWTHER ARCADE.—Yesterday
morning, at half-past six o'clock, an alarming fire broke out
in the rear of the shops of Messrs. Peistel and Harrison,
perfumers, Lowther Arcade, which originated in the paper-
warehouse of Mr. Straker, a bookseller in the Strand, whose
premises are closely situated at the back of the Arcade
shops. Information was immediately forwarded to the
Bedfordbury fire-station, and in a few minutes three engines
and several firemen reached the spot, and after woring
the engines from a good supply of water near three quar-
ters of an hour, the flames were extinguished, not, however,
till the lower part of the premises belonging to the three
persons above named, together with the stock and furniture,
were consumed. Some of the loss is covered by insurance
in the Sun Fire office. The cause of the fire is at present
unknown.
DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—Yesterday morning a few
minutes after two o'clock, the inhabitants of the village of
Cranford Bridge, on the Bath-road, about twelve miles
distant from London, were thrown into the utmost alarm by
the discovery of a fire having broken out on the extensive
premises of the White Hart Inn and Post-house, belong- •
ing.to Mrs. Bacon, a widow lady, who has been in the occu-
pation of it nearly thirty years. Immediately that the fire
was discovered, expresses were dispatched for the fire-en-
gines from Hounslow barracks, as also those from Brentford.
Messrs. Booths, the extensive rectifiers and distillers, im-
mediately, dispatched their powerful ones to 'the scene of
destruction, which on their arrival was burning furiously-
The flames had gained such an ascendancy at three o'clock,
that it was deemed necessary to send post-horse expresses
to London, for the assistance of the London Fire Brigade,
(which arrived at four o'clock), at King-street, Golden-
square, Wells-street, Oxford-street, and Baker-street fire
stations, all of which immediately proceeded express, each
drawn by four post horses, and arrived soon after five
o'clock, but not in sufficient time to prevent the entire
destruction of the whole range of buildings, consisting of
the spacious Inn, with its valuable stock ofd stabling,
the whole of which arc minced to a heap uins. By
great exertions the valuable horses, consisting of nearly
30, were preserved. The stock and premises are insurecl3
