ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

IN RE ABERDEEN.
This was a petition on the part of the Dean of York,
praying for the taxation of a bill of costs of his solicitor,
Mr. Aberdeen.

It appeared that Mr. Aberdeen had for a series of
years acted in the capacity of agent to the Dean of York,
collecting his rents in Devonshire, with which he was to
liquidate certain debts, and any surplus that might remain
be appropriated to the payment of his (Mr. A.'s) costs.
In the account which Mr. Aberdeen had furnished
it was alleged that he had charged compound interest.
His LORDSHIP said he thought there could be no doubt
in this matter. The Master could only take an account
having reference to the bill of costs, and nothing else.
The present application was special, but he could not see
the necessity for a departure from the usual rule of the
court, which was by a petition, of course. The party
who took this unusual course should bear the costs of the
application.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
COSTOBADIE V. COSTOBADIE.
The arguments in this cause having been concluded,
His HONOUR, after recapitulating the facts of the case,
which have alrtady appeared in this journal, granted an
inquiry as to whether Mrs. Costobadie had committed
any breach of trust, a formal inquiry as regarded the
children; also an inquiry as to the incumbrances and as
to the residuum of the testator's estate. He would,
when these inquiries had been instituted, give his judg-
ment on the whole of the case.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner Ho'tom)
AMBLER V. GRANVILLE.
The plaintiff is a boot-maker, and the defendant a
clerk to the Board of Trade, residing with his parents
in Piccadilly. The original debt was 3/. 35., and the
costs, up to the time of judgment being obtained, 41. 19s.
The defendant had had the usual credit, but on being
applied to for payment, said it was not convenient. A
writ was then enclosed to defendant, who returned an
answer that he could not " entertain it as he was a
minor." The defendant's attorney now accused the
plaintiff's attorney of " sharp practice."
Mr. ENGLEITART, the plaintiff's attorney, said he had
given a month's notice that he should take proceedings
under the judgment.

His Hotiou"n said that it was a great pity that a young
man who had a salary of 871. per year, living with his
ft iends and not having to pay rent, should be so foolish
as to allow legal proceedings to be taken for so small a
sum, i,he costs being almost double. The defendant
must pay it out of his next quarter's salary, due the
sth of April.

The defendant's attorney said it was impossible, as
defendant had "prior claims" on it.
His HoNoua said that it must be paid ; he could not
take into consideration any arrangement as to other
iebts. When a jndgment debt was claimed under this
Act he was bound to enforce payment.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Zachariah Longman, who was cut about the head and
face by George Walker, a toll•collector, of the City.
road, a few days since, an account of which appeared
at the time in The Sun, was not enabled to leave the
hospital to-t ay for the purpose, as was intended, of his
being present at the further hearing of the case. The
re-examination was therefore unavoidably postponed till
a future day.
Walker, the toll-collector, is still under medical treat-
ment at the Bridewell House of Correction, and he is
said to have been visited, since his incarceration, with
several attacks of insanity.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 29.—Commander Potbury,
of the Avenger, is appointed to command the Growler steam
sloop, at Deptford, fitted to make the experiment of es-
tablishing free settlers from the coast of Africa in the Go-
vernment islands of Trinidad and Grenada. The Growler
has been fitted with a poop, and has ample arrangement for
the accommodation of 300 negrous and their wives and chil-
dren. She is to proceed to Sierra Leone to embark them,
and some commissioners will go out to arrange in what man-
ner it is to be done. accompany them to the West Indies, and
locate them as settlers. Her Majesty's steamer Salamander
went this morning to Wvolwich to be paid off.
PROVISIONS FOR IRELAND.—PORTSMOUTH, MARCH
29.—Her Majesty's, ship Portland sailed this morning for
Kilrush, with 3,420 bags of biscuit and biscuit meal, to place
them in charge of the relief committee, located in the neigh-
bourhood. The London and South-Western Railway Com-
pany having most handsomely offered to place at the disposal
of Government a number of extra luggage trucks for the con-
veyance of supplies of seed and corn, and meal to the
Clarence-yard, a large quantity has arrived this day, and by
to-morrow 1,500 sacks will be shipped in her Majesty's
steamer Dragon, and Captain Ramsay will put to sea early
tomorrow morning. About 3,000 more sacks of seed, of
various sorts, will be here on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
immediately shipped i❑ the Odin and Avenger, and they
will follow the Dragon to Ireland. The Government are
anxious to get this seed over in the course of the present
week. The Talbot will be an available ship in a few days.
THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT BRITAIN.—The break-
water to the Great Britain. respecting which we gave some
particulars in a recent number of our paper, still continues
to attract attention. An eye-witness informs us that several
engineers and officers of the navy visited the ship on Mon-
day and Tuesday, some of whom, on the spot, stated their
opinion that after such a gale as that of Sunday, Monday,
and Tuesday, when the wind was in the worst possible quar-
ter, and the sea terrifically high, they fully expected to find
her destroyed. The contrary, however, has been the case ;
and if we except a large spar, which was broken in two, the
whole has stood well, and the seamen assured us the break-
water has admirably protected the ship. Two artists were
sketching the ship at high water, where she affords a striking
object to those who are desirous of seeing what, in most cases,
would be a dreadful ease of shipwreck. The sea rolls along
her deck in awful grandeur, occasionally breaking as high as
her masts. The noise of the seas rebounding and meeting
could be distinctly heard amid the roar of the,wind and noise
of the breakers on the beach, The tides, with the wind at
the south, are expected to be the highest of the year, and we
understand Captain Claxton has given orders that the crew
should not remain on board during the night tides of the re-
mainder of the week, not because of any fear for their safety,
but solely on account of their health and comfort.—Down-
patrick Recorder.
MONTAGU HOUSE.—We understand the Duke of
Buccleuch contemplates pulling down the family mansion at
Whitehall, and erecting on its site a residence of noble pro-
portions, and of considerable architectural magnificence. It
is said that the works will be commenced early in the autumn
of this year.
We understand that it is the intention of their
Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at
the close of the summer, to go to Germany, to visit their
illustrious relatives, when the Royal Duke and Duchess will
be accompanied by the Princess Mary.
_

Sir William- Gossett, Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House of Commons, whose illness was announced some time
since, has again lately been seriously indisposed. We have
much pleasure in stating that within the last few days he
has considerably improved, and that it is expected he will
be able to resume his official duties before the close of the
session. He is staying at St. Leonards-on-the-Sea. Colonel
Perceval, Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Lords, is absent
in Ireland.

DONATION FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.---In
the published statement of the proceeds of the sale of ladies'
work in Dundee last week, the following entry occurs :—" His
Grace the Duke of Wellington, per a lady, 51." The explana-
tion of this is, that a young lady of that town -wrote to his
Grace, explaining the object of the sale, and soliciting a few
autographs, which, she said, would doubtless find ready and
liberal purchasers. His Grace politely declined the request,
but enclosed a money subscription instead.
MAILS FOR CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES.---
The royal mail ship Cambria sails hence fore alifax and Bos-
ton with the usual mails, on Sunday t. The Sarah
Sands screw steam-ship, leaves for New York on the follow-
ing Tuesday. —Liverpool Albion.
CORNWALL RA1LWAY.....4.4115t week, Mr. Peto, ac-
companied by his principal manager, Mr. Beatty, and Mr.
Glennie, chief engineer under Mr. Brunel, made a personal
inspection of the Cornwall line; and on Tuesday last, at a
meeting of the Board, it was resolved to let the contract for
the completion of the whole line to the above eminent con-
tractor. Two and a half years are at present assigned for the
completion of the w 004.— Wait Briton.
