C HANCERY-COURT.-(THIS DAY

The Lord Chancellor did not sit to-day, in consequence, as
we understood, of the dangerous illness of one of his Lord-
ship's sons.

VICE CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

BANNATTNE V. LEADER.

The Vicz-CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this ease,
which was argued before the Court sometime age. The Bill
was filed by the plaintiffs against Mr. Leader, the Member for
Westminster, and other persons, for the purpose of having the
declaration of the Court that they were entitled to a moiety of
the linen business carried on in Scotland by Mr. Maberley and
the defendants, and which was assigned over to the defendants
by Mr. Alaberley. The ground on which the Bill prayed the
interference of the Court was, that Mr. Maberley executed the
assignment in contemplation of bankruptcy. His Honour
was clearly of opinion that the execution did not take place
under any such circumstances, and ordered the Bill to be dis-
missed with costs.

ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.
(TIIIS DAY.)
A Common Hall was held this day for the election of She-
riffs for London, and other City officers. Shortly after one
o'clock the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Aldermen Wood
(who was loudly cheered), Lainson, and Gibbs, opened the hall.
The COMMON SERGEANT then came forward and said the
hall was called so that the citizens of London should exercise a
right, the most ancient and important of any they poqessed.
It was one they had enjoyed since the Conquest, and held in
fee since the time of Henry the First. So important did
their ancestors think the privilege, that they never permitted
the election to go on in the presencc of their King, the Lord
Mayor. When he had retired, it would be his duty to read
the names of those gentlemen who stood on the list for the va-
rious offices. _ _ .

The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and the pre-
sent Sheriffs presided.
The COMMON SERGEANT read over the lists of those in no-
mination for the office of Sheriffs. The Common Sergeant
said the Sheriffs were of opinion that the election had fallen
upon !Mr. Alderman Magnay and Alexander Rogers. Esq.
The other candidate was Mr. Alderman Hooper, but he de-
clined the honour for the present year, as it was inconvenient
for two Aldermen to serve at the same time.
Sir James Shaw was then re-elected as Chamberlain amidst
applause.
The other officers were then re-elected.
The Lord Mayor having returned, the COMMON-SERGEANT
reported that the elections had been confirmed.
Mr. Deputy STEVENS appeared on the part of Mr. Rogers,
to return thanks, and declare hit acceptance of the office. He
was much gratified at the result of the election, because he
knew Mr. Rogers to be a highly respectable and honourable
man, and one who would perform his duty in such a manner
as would command their thank.; at the end of the year.
The Hall was then dissolved.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.—We have receiveL
a letter from Mr. Portwine, who is secretary to one of the dis-
trict Committees in the interest of Hall and Napier, in which
he states that he is prepared to make an affidavit that Mr. Cab-
bell made use of the expressions attributed to him by Mr.
Cross, and contradicted by Mr. Chambers, the Chairman. It
is certainly singular, if such improper expressions were used,
that they should have escaped his attention. Will Mr. Cab-
bell come forward at a public meeting and deny them ?
SPAIN.—MADRID BOURSE, JUNE 15.--The
transactions in the Five per Cents., 29 in number, amounted
to 18,200,000 reals, and were done at 26 1-16 to, cash, and
at 261 to iat 60 days. The titles of the converted
touforeign
debt sold for 20 for cash, and 20i at 60 days ; the eoens
be capitalised at 22 21-32 at 60 days, and the debt bearing no
interest for 7 7-32 at 60 days.
SECONDARY'S OFFICE.—We rejoice in having
it in our power to announce that Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, Filacer
to the Court of Exchequer, has been appointed to the Sevon-
dary's-offico in that Court, vacant by the death of the late Mr.
Carthrew. The appointment was offered to Mr. Fitzsimon,
but that gentleman, in the handsomest manner, waived his pre-
tensions in favour of Mr. O'Dwyer. The first act of Ir.
O'Dw% er was the appointment of Mr. Carthrew's son to an
office in the department.—Dublin Evening Post.
THE LORD LIEUTENANT.—HiS Excellency
took his departure this afternoon, for Ilfracombe; in order to be
present at his father's funeral, on Thursday next, the 24th in-
stant. His Excellency, who was accompanied by Mr. Matthew
Fortescue, jun., sailed on board the Sprightly steamer. His
Excellency returns to Dublin on Saturday.—Dublin Evening
Post, Tuesday.
EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday
afternoon, when the Strand was in its most crowded
state, thronged with persons on their return from wit-
nessing the royal procession, and vehicles of all kinds
rapidly passing, a child, five years of age, the son of la-
bouring parents, was knocked down and run over by an
omnibus while attempting to run across from Hunger-
ford-street. The poor little fellow was instantly picked
up. and carried to the Charing-cross Hospital, and exa-
mined by the surgeons, who found the mark of a wheel
(the hind wheel) which had passed over from the hip
across the abdomen, but apparently without inflicting
any injury at all ikely to prove fatal or even of serious
consequence. Ihe omnibus had twelve persons in it,
and was, of course, of immense weight, and the provi-
dential escape of the child with comparatively little in-
jury can only be accounted for by the elasticity arising
from the tender age of the lad.
