The plates in this work are double the size of those in the largest
of the Annuals, and have been carefully engraved by the first artists,
under the direction of William and Edward linden. As it is
splendidly bound in morocco, richly and appropriately embellished
after a design by Corbould, it forms decidedly the most magnificent
and attractive Annual ever published.
" An Annual of the same class to which the ' Flowers of Love-
liness,' and Gems of Beauty' belong, and it is superior to both in
its plan and execution. "—Spectator.
"Every one of the engravings is worth the notice of the collector,
and the whole form a charming portfolio : the binding is so rich
and tasteful as to merit a distinct notice."—Atlas.
" This addition to the list of Annuals is a pearl richer than all
its tribe."—Court Journal.
" The cheapest among all the Annuals, since every one ef the
plates is capable and worthy of being used as a separate object of
ornamental art. The artists and the engravers have vied with each
other in their efforts to make this work what, in fact, its rivals
themselves allow it to be—namely, the most richly illustrated pro-
duction of the present day."—Court Magazine.

From Edinburgh it appears that the high price of
coals, which is now vory severely felt, is the subject of
general complaint. It is asked, have the mines failed, or
has the working of them become more expensive than,
formerly ? Both these questions arc answered in the nega-
tive, and the increased charge is ascribed solely to a com-
bination of proprietors. The workmen on the line of the
canal, and in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, struck early in
the summer, and the masters conceded to them all they
required. A. small advance in the price of coals to cover,
this they admit would have been allowable, but since the
strike the owners have continued raising the price from
time to time till, generally speaking, it has reached 100 per
cent. more than it ought to be. This presses severely on
the -poor, not merely because it diminishes the cottager's
comfort in the article of fuel at home, but from the heavy
hand with which it bears on the great manufacturers anti
on the sources of beneficial employment. In Glasgow the
coal annually consumed costs no less than 300,0001.. This
expense seems likely to be doubled in the present year,
from the present high prices, In that city a company has
been formed, to open new mines, and in Edinburgh strong
feeling is shown to follow the example,
According to the last accounts from Alexandria, the
inundation of the Nile this year has completely satisfied
the wishes of the inhabitants, and promises an aininbilt
harvest in Egypt.

This was an appeal motion, its object being to discharge
an order of the Vice-Chancellor, made the week before
last, by which the Marquis of Chandos was restrained from
taking out of the hands of the trustees a sum of 130,0001.,
to which he had been declared -entitled under a decree of
the Court of Session in Scotland, as ligitiin, in right of his
wife, the daughter of the late Marquis of Breadalbane. The
bill had been dated in May last, in order to -amend the
marriage contract of the Marquis and Marchioness of
Chandos, by inserting a clause bearing the right to legi-
tim, which the plaintiff insisted should have been one of
the usual and necessary clauses expressly provided in the
proposals agreed to as the foundation of the contract. The
Marquis and Marchioness, in the answer, denied that they
knew anything of the claim to legitim at the time of the
marriage, -or that they were parties to any contract which
would bar their right. The Vice-Chancellor granted the
injunction, on the ground that the question of the construc-
tion of the articles was a purely English question, indepen-
dent of the law of Scotland, or the decisions of this Court,
and against that decision the defendant appealed.
Mr. TINNEY, in support of the appeal, reminded his
Lordship that the House of Lords, on an appeal
.from a de-
cision of the Court of Session in Scotland, had already
declared 'that the Marchioness of Chandos was not
barred by her marriage contract or other Wise from her
claim on the personal state of her father. It appeared,
however, that on consulting his legal advisers in Eng-
land, certain papers had been discovered in the pos-
session of Mr. Vizard, the former solicitor of the late
Marquis of Breadalbane, which led his Lordship to be-
lieve that the Marquis and Marchioness of Chandos had,
through their agents, at the time of the marriage, entered
into a contract which would bar their claim. This belief
was founded on a paper called a proposal for the contract,
which paper was in the handwriting of Mr. Hodgson, an
experienced English conveyancer, who afterwards drew up
the contract itself. This paper, however, on which so much
reliance had been placed, was not the first. The sole ques-
tion now to be determined by the Court was, whether such
a contract could bar the rights of Lord and Lady Chandos
to /egitini, although there was no express clause barring that
right, or renouncing their claim on the personal property of
Lord Breadalbane.

.....
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill prayed that the
marriage -settlement might be amended, according to the
declared intention of the parties, as expressed by an English
conveyancer in a contract executed in England. So far,
therefore, there was a purely English question before the
Court. With respect to the amendment of the settlement,
there was a very recent precedent, that of the Duke of
Bedford v. the Marquis of Abercorn, a case which esta-
blished the right of the Court to make such amendment, if
it could be proved to have been the intention of the parties
contracting. _ _ _

Mr. STUART having closed the case for the appeal by a
few observations on the part of the proceedings,
His LORDSHIP rose at five o'clock, observing that he
would hear the other side to-morrow.

ROLLS COURT, DEC. 6.
HUTCHINSON V. TOWNSHEND.

The testator in the cause, by his will, deviSed his pro-
perty in such a manner that a Miss Hutchinson became
entitled to two sums of 12,9001. and 9,120/., which, in the
event of that lady dying without issue, were to go to the
surviving brothers of the children or the issue of such as
were dead. This fund was now claimed by. four parties,
and the defendant, Mr. Townshend, was the trustee. The
claim of the parties was not disputed, but in this suit, which
was for the distribution of the one-fourth, it was contended
that thu parties entitled to the other three-fourths ought
to be brought before the Court. A bill had been filed by
the parties entitled to the remaining fourths, and an appli-
cation had been made to the present Lard chancellor, wl►en
Master of the Rolls, for the transfer of the plaintiff's fund
into Court, and upon that occasion an order was made,
transferring it to the credit of the present suit.
Mr. GIRDLESTONE, on behalf of Mr. Townsbnd, the
trustee, submitted that the Court could. trot: deal with an
undivided fourth of the fund in question,
His Lordship, the MASTER of the ROLLS, should at
once overrule the objection of defendant, and merely
direct the inquiry prayed el' to who the parties entitled
were.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 6.

COURTENIY, TIIF. ELDER, V. RAPHAEL AND ANOTHER.

This was an action by the plaintiff against the Sheriff of
Middlesex for entering his house, taking his property, and
disturbing his family. The defendants pleaded not guilty ;
secondly that the house was not the house of the plaintiff ;
thirdly, that the goods were not the goods of the plaintiff ;
fourthly, as to the entering the house, that they entered the
house in question under the authority of a warrant to levy
on the goods of Charles Baron Courtenay, the younger, and
that the goods seized by them were the goods of the son
of the plaintiff, and not of the plaintiff hiMself. The plain-
tiff replied that the house was his house, that the goods
were his goods, and alleged that the defendants had been.
guilty of excess in staying in the house, and there selling
the goods on which the execution had been levied. The
niain question in this case was, whether the house and the
goods, or any part of them, belonged to the son or to the
father. Another question was, whether the sheriff had not
exceeded his authority in selling on the premises the goods
he had thus seized.

LORD DENMAN left the Jury to decide on the facts of the
case. As to the law, he expressed himself satisfied that the
sheriff had no riv,ht of his own accord to sell the goods on
the premises.—Verdict for the defendant. •
