Colonel Jones Parry attended his Majesty to-day

Guelphic Hanoverian Order.

There is an advertisement in another part of our
Paper to which we invite the earnest attention of our
readers. A subscription has been set on foot for the
families of the eleven unfortunate men who perished
by the upsetting of the life-boat at Scarborough, dur-
ing the awful storm with which that place was lately
visited. Such a loss of life, with all its distressing con-
sequences to the survivors, would, under any circum-
stances, have called forth public sympathy ; but when it is
remembered that these intrepid mariners lost their lives,
not in the pursuit of their ordinary calling, but in a gene-
rous and desperate attempt to save the lives of others, the
claim of their destitute widows and:orphans, to the consi-
deration of the compassionate and the humane, becomes
next to irresistible. Nor let it be forgotten that this me-
lancholy event has diminished that confidence in the secu-
rity of a life-boat, which has hitherto prevailed among
seafaring men. If our seamen, hardy and adventurous as
they are, find that not only are their lives exposed to im-
minent peril, in rescuing from destruction the crews of
ships in distress, but that, if they perish in the attempt,
those dearest to them on earth will be left to starve, or
beg their bread, can it be expected that they will rush into
such danger without counting the cost ? Policy, there-
fore, as well as humanity, dictates that the appeal which
has been made in favour of the widows and orphans of the
Scarborough seamen should not be made in vain. These
unfortunate persons do not require much, but they must
be placed above want.

There is a rumour in circulation, that the illness of
a lady of rank first arose from an unfortunate discovery—.
namely, that her husband's legitimacy is abcut to be disputed
la a Court of Law.

A FRUITFUL VINE.—On Sunday night last, the
wife of a boatman named North, at Horncastle, was delivered
of three children, all of whom died soon after their birth. The
mother has twice before been delivered of twirls.

- We are sorry to say that the Marchioness Wellesley
continues exceedingly indisposed, suffering almost constantly
from a pain in the side. Her Ladyship's mother is at present
in England, having come from America in order to have an
operation performed on one of her eyes, which has been done
with the greatest skill and success by Mr. Alexander.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

SLANEY V. WADE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this
case, which our readers will recollect was an appeal motion
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor refusing to grant a
new trial. His Honour upon hearing the cause directed an
issue to try whether the plaintiff's father was in November,
1828, the heir-at-law of a testator named Morton. On the
trial the Jury found in the affirmative. The defendant ap-
plied for a new trial, which his Honour the Vice-Chancellor
refused. The Lord Chancellor, after going through the facts
of the case, stated his opinion to be that the Jury had come
to a right conclusion ; the motion therefore must be dismissed,
but without costs.

PRACTICE IN TIIE MASTER'S OFFICE.-ATTORNEY-GENERAL V.

LUBBOCK.

Mr. COOPER applied, by consent of all parties, for the
opinion of the Court under some of the new orders, as to whe-
ther the Master was entitled to charge 2s. for drawing sche-
dules to the report, the same way as he was entitled to 2s. a
folio for drawing the report itself? or whether he ought only
to charge for the copying ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired how the matter came be-
fore him?

Mr. COOPER said at the request of all the parties.
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—It must come before me in some
proper shape, the Master must form his judgment upon the
matter, and then the parties must except to his report.
Mr. COOPER observed that the Master had suspended his de-
cision until the opinion of the Court was known.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that any thing he might do as
the case now came before him, would be not only irregular but
inoperative.
Mr. COOPER would instruct his clients to present a petition.
