LAW INTELLIG ENCE.

COURT OF CHANCIRV, MMtCH 15.
THE PORTSMOUTH CASE.
A Petition is now pending before the Court, praying for the
appointment of a Committee, ad interim, over the Earl of
Portsmouth; and the Lottn ANCELLOR sent a • maaspige
from his private room, before he mute into Conn this morning,
saying he would hear that Petition on Tuesday morning.

THE MANCHESTER CAUSE.
I:MAGI-CUMIN V. JEPSON.
Mr.- Aomt mentioned this cause again, on the subject of
costs. On the most reasonable calculation he had been able to
make since he last !motioned it, it appeared (though Mr. HART
formerly, in a. sarcastic manner, told him to state his loss at
half amillion of money), that they bad lost no less than 300,0001.
by the tithes of the hay not having been hitherto paid, and
left the country, others were dead, and few who ought former-
ly to have paid now existed in Lancashire.
His LORDSHIP thought it was an object greatly
i to be at-
tended to, that Mr. Agar's clients had succeeded n rtting
.15,000/. a year, which all their predecessors had been content
to go without, and never even thotight of asking for. On the
whole, as the general costs in the cause had been reserved, he
would only order that . Mr. Agar's clients should have both
the deposits returned, but no extra costs. And the decree to
, be dated at the time judgment was pronounced.

Letters from Admiral KRUSENSTERN, which
have reached Paris, state that some. Russian
fishermen, last autumn, saw on the coast of Si-
beria two vessels, which, by. the description they
gave of them, uppear to be those under Captain
PARItY. This news has revived the hope of see-
ing the intrepid English Navigator return hap-
pity from his perilous enterprize.—(French
Paper, March 13.)
As a Committee is appointed by the House of
Commons, to examine and determine the place most worthy to
receive the noble Library of his MAJESTY, generously be-
queathed to the British Nation, we would press upon their con-
sideration to recommend to the House a separate and distinct
building in the neighbourhood of Pall-mall, East, in which
these.invaluable literary stores may be deposited, instead of
consigning them to that tasteless and inconvenient mansion, the
British Museum, where they would necessarily be huddled to-
gether in one confussed mass, without being either useful to the
' literary world, or appearing to proper advantage--( Morning

au Sa.turdny night, as Mr. CHAKLES ELLIS
was returnin' On his carriage from Kent llousd, where he had
dined with the Earl and Countess of Monmen, his coach-
man, on approaching Knightshrige-barracks, perceived a
one-horse cart with' two men in it, driving at a furious rate
towards Mint the coachman, in order to avoid them, pull-
ed close on his right side of the road; but the driver of
the cart not taking the same precaution, came with such
force against the off-side horse- in Mr. Ellis's carriage, as
to run the shaft of the cart a great depth into,the cheat of the
horse, when he instantly fell as if shot. Lord Valletort, who was
of the dinner party, and with Mr. Ellis in the carriage at the
tirne, they both instantly got out and seized the tWo men in the
cart. Lord Kensington, who was likewise one of the dinner
party, but returning to town on foot, came.up at the interval,
and -being made acquainted with the' nature of the accident,
his Lordship immediately hastened on to Knightsbridge in•
search of a Constable, and procured one, with a watchman,
when they returned to the place of accident, where Lord Valle-
tort, Mr. Ellis, and the footman, still retained the two men and
the horse and cart. The two men seemed a little the wrote for
liquor; refused giving their names or address. They were con-
veyed to the watch-house ; and the horse and can were like:.
wise taken possession of. Mr, Ellia's horse bled to death on
the spot where he fell—he was a valuable animal, and, Mr.
Ellis s own property. Mr. Ellis, Lord Valletort„ and Lord
Kensington, after lodging the men in the watch-house, and
giving their charge, walked into tows.
The. subscription which the National Guards
of Paris are making for their comrade Maacieit
is paid into the hands of M. LAFATSTTE, as
Treasurer. _ We may mention that the utmost
punishment which can be inflicted on the serjeant
is five days imprisonment, and a fine of 50 francs
