LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1831.

His MAJESTY'S visit to the city is, we find,
post-
poned from the 10th to the 17th of May. This
delay is in order to enable the citizens of the first
metropolis in the world to complete their prepara-
tions, and receive their high.mitided, truly English
MoNAßett in a style Worthy of his exalted claims,
and their well-known hospitality. We scarcely
need suggest—for the gratitude of the people

We understand that SirJAAtEs NiAcKINTosn
and Lord WATERPARK, the late Members for Knvesbo-
rough, and both of whom voted for the Reform Bill, are
to be opposed by Mr. ENTWI,PLE, a Tory, from Rochdale,
who studiously avoids ad mention of his suatiments on this
important measure.

The election for the county of Essex is fixed
for Thursday, the sth of May.
Mr. WM. PEEL'S Committee offer the Cam-
bridge eleetot s " well-aired beds," a proof that they look
upon the lion. Gentleman's supporters to be a sleepy set.

A circular, containing simply these significant
words:— Choose any man possessed of ought to give," has
been sent by way of jeer to many of the Cambridge voters.
At the Surrey Theatre, on Saturday evening,
so great was the enthusiasm in favour of our beloved So-
YEREIGN, for his noble conduct in dissolving Parlia-
ment, that at the end of the first piece " God save the
King" was called for, and, at its conclusion, three cheers
were given. At the end of the entertainments it was
again called for, and it concluded with cheers for the
KING, and sundry groans for the rotten boroughmongers.

LAW INTILLLICIENCE.-(THIS DAY).

ROLLS COURT.
SITTINGS OF THE COURT.

On it being intimated to the Court this morning by the Regis-
trar, that it was the intention of the Lord Chancellor and Vice-
Chancellor not to sit on Tuesday and Wednesday next, in order
to give an opportunity to those gentlemen of the Bar who had
to attend at Cambridge to go there,
His HONOUR inquired of Mr. Bickersteth, Mr. Pemberton,
and Mr. Tinncy, whether they had to attend at Cambridge? and
on the former gentleman stating that he had, and the two lattc r
observing they were not under that necessity, his Honour said
that he should sit on the days in question, keeping out of the
paper all cases in which Mr. Bickersteth held briefs.
Mr. PEMBER'ION feared that, under such circumstances,
the Court would have nothing to proceed with.
His HONOUR wished Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Tinney to see
if they could not so arrange matters as to have something for the
Court to proceed with, if they could not his Honour would not
sit on Tuesday.

LEITH v. IRVINE.

The arguments in this part-heard case, which came before the
Court upon exceptions to the Master's Report, vi ere then re-
sumed, in which there arc upwards of forty exceptions taken,
only twenty of which have as yet been disposed of, though the
case has been under argument four days. The questions involved
in the cause relate to the management of West India property,
and are of no importance except to the parties concerned.

V ICE- CHANCELL OR' S COURT.
Nothing of the slighte t public importance occurred in this
Court up to the period of our Reporter leaving. •

COURT OF COMMON 'PLEAS.
DALGLEISH r. HODSON.

This was a special case ordered by the Court, on a motion for
a new trial. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice,
and the facts were as follows :—The ship George, of Liverpool,
sailed from that port with a cargo for Buenos Ayres, having a
knowledge that that port was then in a state of blockade. When
the ship arrived near to that port, one of the Brazilian blockad-
ing ships coming in sight, the Captain of the George immediately
drop; ad his anchor, in expectation of either being warned off;
or hearing that the blockade had been raised; but as soon as the
Brazilian Captain came on board lie captured the vessel. An
action was brought against the underwriters, and a verdict of
3,0001. was found for the plaintiff.
This morning Mr. Serjeant SPANKIF., on behalf of the plain-
tiff, showed cause against the rule for a new trial, and con-
tended that the Captain had committed no breach of the
blockade—that he did not intend to do so, as was proved by his
dropping his anchor when he could have run away, which it
was proved at the trial he could have done, and also that the
condemnation of the vessel by the Foreign Prize Court was not
good evidence here that he had broken the blockade; and
further that, though the Captain was aware of the blockade
betbre Me left Liverpool, it could not be maintained that that
constituted any breach of the blockade.
On the other side, Mr. Sergeant JONES considered that the
Captain was bound to make inquiries at Monte Video as to the
state in which Buenos Ayres then was, and that he had broken
the blockade, for it was not to be allowed that a ship was to
come within a mile or two of a blockaded part, and then for the
first time to make inquiries ; in the first instance the inquiries
would have been good, but in the latter lie maintained they
were bad in law. Also he contended that the sentence of the
Brazilian Court was sufficient evidence of there having been II
breach of the rules of the blockade, and that the underwriters
ought not to be liable for the Captain's neglect.
The Court thought the question one of great importance,
and would take time to consider their judgment.
