ROLLS' COURT, DEC. 2!.

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. DULWICII COLLEGE.
This was on information filed by the Attorney-Gene-
ral, on the cert;ficAto of the Charity Commissioners,
aoinst th Master and Warden of Dulwich College,
tl.c Arcl,hiihop of Canteibury, the Visitor, and the
Churchwardens of c,rtain parishes, the poor of which.
it was intended by the founder, should benefit by the
charity. The cha:ity !rag founded by. Edward Meyer,
who procured letters patent from the Crown, dated the
21st June, 1619, by which power was given to him to.
:establish a corporation, for the purpose of working out
object. By it deed dated the It3th September, 1619,
E iward Alinin pur,uanee of the lic,;_,nce, founded
; and !v .a
decd of endowment, dated the
24th S•ipteatber, 1620, he granted certain estates tc
die cc;p:-.rat;on. Inc object of the founder it wat
ted by Counsel in support of the information, was—
Intat Circe shouid he twelve poor scholars in the founda-
tion, that the children of Dulwich should be admitted

-rataitously, and that other child ea should. be admit-
;‘) :ILA the number of scholars did not exced

eighty ie number. 'hhe:• were to be taught all these
oietters that were taught at the peblic schools at West-
minster and St. linurs ; and those who wore tit were to
be to the University, with certain exhibitions, and
those who were not were to ha apprenticed to
trades. It was alleged that at present the only
children in the school were twelve poor scholars,
who were taught scarcely anything beyond read-
lee, writing, and arithmetic ; and that for the last
seventy years not a single boy had been sent to the
University, there 'being. as it was said, no candidate,
but in truth the education bestowed upon the scholars
did not qualify them for that distinction. Ia fact, only
18 boys for the year 1626 had been sent to the Uni-
versity. The funds, it was said, -were not ten times
greater than they were at the time of the foundation ;
and the present Mister stated that when he was elected
in the year 1804, he felt the importance of putting the
school upon an efficient footing so strongly, that he ap-
plied to the Archbishop of Canterbury, as visitor, to see
if anything could be done. The Archbishop sail he
had considered the matter a long while, but he felt
there were such obstacles in the way of interfering, that
he thought it would he better to let the matter go on
as it had. But the Clrity Commissioners having re
ported the ease to the Attorney-General, he had
thought it his duty to bring the case before the Court.
The information prayed for a declaration, that the
course at present pursued was not consistent with the
object of the founder, and that the charity ought to be
extended to a greater number of persons ; that such di-
rections might be given with respect to the school, and
to the course of education to be pursued therein, as
might best secure for the scholars the benefit intended
and provided for them at the University and the Col-
lege, and for a reference to the Master to approve of a
scheme.

Mr. KINDERSLET and Mr. BLUNT addressed the
Court in support of the information. Mr. Blunt had
not concluded when the Court rose.

The case will be resumed to-morrow (this day
after the consent petitions and short causes.

BIRLEY V. THE CONSTABLES AND BURGESSES OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF CHORTON-UPON-MEDLOCK.

Mr. PEMBERTON (at the rising of the Court) moved
for an ex parte injunction to restrain the defendants
from committino, trespass or waste upon the plaintiff's
land. Tile def:ndant's were incorporated by Act of
Parliament with certain powers of paving, draining,
lighting, &e. the township of Chorton-upon-Medlock,
near Manchester, so far as portions of the township
should be laid out into streets, lanes, and so on, for the
purposes of building. The plaintiffs
.were the owners
of land within the township, and the defendants were
proceeding to pull down the fences and to level and
dig the land under the allegation that it was laid out
within the terms of the Act as a street or lane, and
subj7et therefore to the :r jurisdiction. Tile plaintiffs
alleged that it was not withi❑ the Act, and that the
Commissioners had no authority to interfere with the
property.

Tile MASTER of the ROLLS granted the injunction
giving leave to the defendants t..; move to dissolve the
injunction at his Lordship's house, in South-street, on
Monday morning next, provided they gxvc notice of their
intention so to do on or Moro Thursday.

COURT OF QUELN'S BENCH, DEC. 21.
(Sittings: at Nisi Nils at Guildhall before Mr. Justice
COLERIDGE and a London Special Jury.)
SILLS V. DROWN.

This was an action brought by the proprietor of a stone
barge against the owner of a brig, to recover damages
for the barge having been run down by the brig off
Greenbithe. The case, which occupied the whole day,
presented no features of public interest.
Shortly after five o'clock the jury found a verdict for
the defendant.

Mr. Thesiger and Mr. 07,1 e appeared for the plain-
tiff,—and Mr. Creswell, Mr. V. Richards, and Mr.
Lines, conducted the delAce.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dsc. 21
(Sittings in London at Nisi Prius.)
DE VEAUX V. HILL.

Tise plaintiff, a London merchant, is the correspond•
cot of Durin and Co., of Bordsiaux, in whose behalf
he effected, in 1836, a policy of insurance, of which
the defendant was under-writer at Lloyd's, upon the
ship Beogalee, French E ist Indiaman, on her %oy age
from Bordeaux to the Mauritius and back. The voy-
age, on the pl:,iintifrs showing, was most unprosperous,
and the ship, on her return to make her way to Bar-
deiJlx, up the Gironde, put in to La Rochelle,
at the mouth of that river, only forty miles
distant from Bourdeaux. She was then seized
for certain debts incurred upon her repair, &c., and
was by the authorized suneyors condemned and broken
up. The defendant denies the allegation of injury at
sea, and several important and curious questions of
fact and of commercial law arise upon the record.
The reading of documentary evidence for the plaintiff
(from which, as they were read by the clerk, we
could with the utmost attention collect no satisfactory
account of the ease) occupied the whole day, and the
trial was adjourned to-morrow (this day). The So-
licitor-General, Mr. Serjeant Halcomb, and Mr. B
sten. appeared for the plaintiff,—the Attorney-General,
Mr. Serjeant Shea, and Mr. Busby, for the defendant.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEc. 21.
OPERATION OF THE POLICE ACT ON PUBLIC
HOUSES.—A number of licensed victuallers have for
some time past appeared before the Court in the cha-
racter of insolvents, and there are many others about
to pass the ordeal. Scarcely a day passes but one is
beard, and to-day two appeared. They have represented
the b iciness of trade as the cause of their appearance,
and the Police Act has been mentioned as the source
of the depreciation in their houses. To-day an i sot-
vent declared that the. Police Act had, by compelling
him to close on S turday nights, and not to open on
Sunday mornings, completely ruined him.
William Young was opposed by Mr. Nichols on the
part of Messrs. Broadwood, the brewers, and was de-
fended by Mr. Cooke, with whom was Mr. Woodrofle.
The insolvent had kept a public-house, and stated
that the Police Act had, by making him close on S.,tur-
day night, and not allowing him to open on Sunday
trio:nines, completely ruined him in his business.
It appeared, in the course of a lengthened exami-
nation, that the insolvent had borrowed money of a
Mr. Frederick Milburn, and had given him a bill of
sale, auil tbo creditor had allowed the insolvent's family
to carry on business. Tire opposing creditors had sued
the insolvent, and obtained judgment. _

The principal question in the CA:',C was the disposi-
tion of the insolvent's brother io. Mr. Milburn.

Tae case was eventually adjourned for further infor-

!nation.

The Hon. Fox Maule is staying at Edinburgh
on his way to Perthshire.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGY-
MAN __On Saturday evening ad inquest was held at the
Rose and Crown Tavern, Bromley. Middlesex, before Mr.
Baker, on the body of the Rev. Joseph Bradley, Rector of
St. Leonard's, Bromley. From the evidence it appeared
that on the preceding night the deceased gentleman had
been sent for to his residence in Tredegar-square, to bap_
tise an infant. He commenced the cremony in a firm,
audible voice; but, on getting about half through it, his
voice slightly faltered, he instantly dropped to the floor,
and expired, apparently without a struggle. The deceased
died of apoplexy.
WALSALL ELECTION.—We are glad to an-
nounce that the vacant seat for the borough of Walsall,
consequent on the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds
by Mr. Francis Finch, will be contested by the Hon.
Spencer Lyttleton, a nephew of Lord Spencer. Mr.
Lyttelton commenced his canvass of the Walsall Liberals
yesterday, with a fair prospect of success, notwithstanding

it is satisfactory to find flint there are still some who
nave no cause of complaint, and who, by their own ac-
knowledgment, never made sugar more rapidly sac:
cheaply than they have done this year. Experience has
I), too, that frt.e, labour, provided it could be had

a c;)-annand, wiil raise the staples at less expense than
,iave I:1hour. Tno Governor has been often roundly
,0.1 directly accus:Al cf repre:,:enting the tifrairs of the
Cohiny 1213 re prosperou3 and iburishing than they
f,•aily are. But will our readers be surprised when we
Aoral them that, on t 1) subject of the decline of
the Colony, there is a differ, nee of opinion even
,ruong goet!ernen connected with the landed interest.

some of these bell. e that our con lition was never
yet so odd as it was sai3 to 121? Two man residing in
tiw same district, and both concerned in estates, have
.:ften given an'6wers respecting the state of the country
I:i•ectly oponsite the ono to the otitcr. Ask one hew
4ze Cie labourers working ? arc yon making sugar
quicidy ? can you comnrlnd a sufryliecoy of lahoui ?
t't ad answer uciii he, " The labourers are not doing
tall* work ; they area lazy set of vagaboods ; they sit
down 11-1,1 nio:it of the in their houses ; we won't

make half a crop this year." To similar questions,
o her will rr.•t:;:❑ directly contrary answers ; ne
v,,,!1 tell that his estate was never doing better—
that the people are working well—that they are
making three or four hogsheads of sugar CI cry
.11y—and that he has never any difficulty in procur- '
ing as much labour as he requires. Now, it is
quite possible, and very probable, that both these
statements may be true, because every roan will speak
of things as Le finds them. But how is it that out
the same materials one man gets himself better served
than another? The man who complains of the want
of labour, has the same peasantry to select from that
he who can command it at will has. It is not to be
supposed that the labourers, who faithfully perform
their task on one man's property, will refuse to do the
same when employed upon another's, without some rea-
son for their neglect ; neither can we think that their
preference of one employer to another arises from innate
caprice or whim, but that it must spring from some

more deeply-rooted c.iuse ; and if there be proprietors,
attorneys, or managers, who are conscious of even an
ungracious manner towards the humbler classes, the
sconer they endeavour to get rid of it the better, be-
cause there are few peasantries on which the suaviter
in mode would produce more salutary effects than upon
ours. Those who have tried it have found it. to suc-
ceed well ; and it might be worth inquiring how lar
the practice of persuasive conciliation may have been

instrumental in inducing that plentiful and continuous
labour which some can have, and bow an opposite line
of conduct may have affected those who complain of a
deficiency.
It was current among some of our most respectable
in.rcintile houses io this town, for some time previous
to the official- publication of the produce return for the
third quarter of the present year, that it had fallen far
short of that of the corresponding quarter of 1839.
This tale, like a snow-ball, gathered as it went, until
on Monday last it was confidently stated that the sugar
of the quarter, ending 30th September last, was less by
1,500 hogsheads thin that produced in the third quarter
of last year. The Governor, sensible that such un-
founded falsehoods were eminently calculated to seri-
ously injure the colony, 1)3, preventing immigrants, both
with and without capital, from coming hither, and ever
anxious to prevent anything that might obstruct our
prosperity, ordered the publication of the produce re-
turn that appeared on Tuesday last, as an overpower-
ing refutation of the evil report. This return shows
dist the excess of sugar produced in July, August, and
September, of 1840. above that of the same months of
1839 is 1,642 hhds. and 184 tierces, and of coffee,
181,650 lbs. The only produce that has decreased is
cotton. But when we take into account the price of
sugar and coffee, which is at the enormous height of
35/. per bbd., and 60 shillings per bag, we cin scarcely
see the c..usc of complaint.

It is stated that under the terns Metropolis are com-
prised the 32 districts herein mentioned, which include the
City of London within and without the walls, the City and
Liberties of Westminster, the out parishes within the
bills of mortality—an I the parishes of St. Marylebone ;
St. Pancras ; Kensington; Fulham ; Hammersmith
(Chapelry) ; St. Luke, Chelsea; Paddington; St. Mary,
Stoke Newington ; St. Leonard, Bromley ; St. Mary-le-
how ; Camberwell ; Greenwich ; St. Nicholas and St.
Paul, Deptford; and Woolwich. The population as enu-
merated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for
1833 was obtained by dividing the deaths registered in that
year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in
1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in-
creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the
popul .lion had been the same in 1E32 as in 1840, the deaths
would have been 1-27th part more numerous.

RESOURCES AND PRODUCTS OF HUNGARY.
—That the internal resources of the country are immense
must be at once conceded by all who are conversant with
the subject; and when it is remembered that Hungary
equals in extent the whole of the remaining German em-
pire, the possible amount of her productions, were she
urged to put forth all her energy, cannot to-day be com-
puted. It must be borne in mind that the paucity of her
population and the want of exterior &mai], have para-
lysed her great proprietors; and that consequently her
present products cannot by any means bs taken as a cri-
ttrion of her acluaal capabilities. Nature has done every-
-1.11;•,g for her ; .her mountains are rich in ore, and her soil
in grain—hcr forests are almost exhaastless—and the
Danube provides her with a great highway to every part of
Europe. Her climate admits of every species of produce,
and her hill sides are clothed with vineyards. Even now,
when she may truly be said without metaphor to be eating
away her own heart, and feeding upon herself (for her
foreign commercial relatit,ns, compared with her internal
resources, are almost too insignificant to merit mention)
and fettered and trammelled by heavy and vexatious ho-
posts on her frontiers, her supply is so great that the very
peasant leaves his grapes uncut, and his corn ungarnered,
for want of room to house then' ; and suffers halt his land
to run to waste because he cannot dispose of the crop that
it 'aotild hear.—Miss Pardoe's City of the Magyar.

THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—It iS
not so generally known as it ought to be, that this instruc-
tive place of amusement is open for evening exhibition as
well as in the morning, the object being to afford those
who have no other opportunity the means of increasing
their stock of knowledge, in combination with the enjoy-
ment of an evening's rational entertainment. Notwith-
standing the late inclement weather many hundreds have
teken advantage of this new arrangement during the last
few evenings. The institution is brilliantly illuminated,
and admirably warmed and ventilated. The exhibition of
the microscope, and . some of the lectures on chemistry
arid experimental philosophy derive advantage rather
than otherwise from their taking place in the evening, (2E-
peeially those in which complete darkness is desirable.
The many hundred new oh;,ects of attraction which have
been introduced since the recent close of the institution
appear to give general satisfaction to the visitors, among
%Illovn we constane.y observe many distinguished persons.
