A few days ago, a singular case took place be-
tween Mr. Angrave, of Rushby Fields, near Woodhouse,
and Mr. Joseph Ward, gardener, of Loughborough. Mr.
Ward having some manure to sell, Mr. Angrave went to
him about it, when Ward told him if he could draw away
nine tons he should have it for nothing, but if he could
not, he was to pay Ward doubly for it. To the astonish-
ment of Ward, Angrave took in one waggon alone, nine
tons, three cwt., nearly four miles.—Nottinyhum Review.

A short, but interesting debate took place in
the House of Commons on Wednesday even-
ing, in reference to the conduct of Government
in undertaking the new office of examiner of
signatures to petitions. It appears that a peti-
tion, signed by no less than 2,058 persons, was
sent from Tarnworth, to be presented to her Ma-
jesty against the prorogation of Parliament.
Mr. VILLIERS, to whom it was sent, placed it in
the hands cf Sir J. GRAHAM, to be laid before
her MAJESTY. Such a petition was extremely
displeasing to Sit It. PEEL.
His policy was
repudiated by a large portion of his own con-
stituency and, at his instigation, we presume,
Sir J. GRAHAM sent the petition down to Tam-
worth, to have an investigation, on the spot, into

bourers are to be seen employed on the works, from the
Crescent of Clontarf towards Swords. The Dublin
Cockneys calculate that in a short time they will be able
to set off for Drogheda, a distance of twenty-three miles,
after dinner, and be back in time for:tea. In a few years
the Directors hope to have the line completed to Armagh,
sixty-two miles north of Dublin.

EXCHEQUER BILL CASE.

In the course of the morning the Grand Jury returned
four true bills against Edward Beaumont Smith for fe-
lony. The bills charged him with forging and uttering.
Mr. ADOLPHUS applied to the Court to fix a day for
the trial of Smith.

Lord DENMAN said that it had been understood in
Westminster Hall that to-morrow would be the most
convenient day for the trial to take place, and that it had
better be fixed for that day, iDlothing further should be
said about it.

Afterwards, Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that he had been in
communication with the Attorney and Solicitor-General,
and with Sir Thomas Wilde, on the subject of the pro-
secution of Smith, and he, in consequence, applied to the
Court to take that case on Saturday.
Lord DENMAN thought it would be extremely incon-
venient to take it on Saturday, as it might last two days.
He would, however, say that it should not be taken to-
morrow, and the Learned Counsel could make applica-
tion to-morrow to the Judges who would preside here
on the subject.
It was fixed late in the evening that the trial should
come on before Lord Chief. Justice Denman on Saturday
(to-morrow) morning, at ten o'clock.

NEW COURT.

The Court wars occupied the principal part of the morn-
ing in trying trifling cases of uttering base coin, none of
which possessed any features of general interest.
Matilda Bruce, twenty-one, was indicted for embez-
zling and stealing the sums of 41. 10s., 31.65., and 11. 10s.,
the property of John Aveny, her master.
The prisoner, in the early part of the morning, pleaded
not guilty to the indictment, but on being placed at the
bar to take her trial, she requested leave to retract her
plea for that of guilty.
Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared for the prosecution,
said that he had been instructed to state that the prose-
cutor entertained no ill feeling towards the prisoner.
From what he had heard of her character and family, he
believed that this was her first offence, and that she had
been induced in a moment of temptation to the commis-
sion of it.

Mr. Pima.'Ps appeared for the prisoner, and called
witnesses to her character, all of whom spoke to her for-
mer honesty and previous good conduct.
The Learned JUDGE then addressed the prisoner,
and said it was painful to pass a severe santenco on a
person so young, and upon one who had hitherto borne
so good a character. In the early part of the Session,
he had sentenced a young man to eighteen months' im-
prisonment ; but her sentence would not be so heavy,
although she had been guilty of a great breach of trust.
The case was not so bad, perhaps, as the one to which
he had alluded. The prisoner was then sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour.
The prisoner, who appeared a very respectable young
woman, wept bitterly during the whole of the proceed-
ings, and buried her face in her handkerchief. We un-
derstood that she had been engaged as shopwoman to the
prosecutor.

GROSS SUPERSTITION.—On Saturday se'n•
night, one of those remedies, founded on the grossest
superstition, which the intelligence of the present
age has not been able entirely to explode, was tried by
an old woman residing near this town, on a girl trou-
bled with fits. The means she adopted to effect the cure
was causing the patient to descend into a grave dug
for a corpse about to be buried. Since the remedy has
been tried, the girl's fits have been quite as frequent and
violent as before, but no doubt the cause of failure will
be attributed by many to any but the true one, as the
fools will not believe it impossible for such absurdities
to have influence over physical causes. Worcester

FREDERICK THE GREAT AND HIS TIMES.—
The new work, under the above title,.edited by Thomas
Campbell, Esq , is at length befOre the public ; and
rarely have we seen a more important or interesting his-
torical production. The volumes are full of characteristic
details concerning all the most eminent men forming the.
habitual society of Frederick". Here we have sketches
not only of persons belonging tolls own fhtnily, but
likewise of .his intimate friends, his literary associates,

picture de of life, his habits, tastes,
and pursuits, is not less attractive than full of instruc•

volumes by their containing many original letters of that

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 2.
This being the first Seal after Michaelmas Term, the
Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day.

THOMAS V. SHIRLEY.
.MT: TENNANT said he was instructed to make an ap-
plication to the Court in this case, which had been ren-
dered necessary by the last new orders. Previous to
the issuing of those orders, all causes in Chancery were
distinguished under two heads—they were either Rolls'
causes, and marked accordingly, or they were Lord
Chancellor's senses ; and in that state things remained,
in the interval between 1837 and November last.
In that month there was an application made to the Vice-
Chancellor of England in the cause of Thomas and
Ferrers, and on the 11th of November, the day on which
the last new orders were issued, his Honour pronounced
an order in the cause for a Sergeant-at-Arms. The
propriety of that order it was now desired to dispute, on
the ground that in pursuance of the new callers the cause
of Thomas and Shirty had been appropriated to be
heard before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. By
the Act creating the two new Vice-Chancellors
the jurisdiction of each was defined, and
neither of them had any jurisdiction whatever to
interfere in any way with orders made by any of the
other Vice-Chancellors. In this state of circumstances,
an order having been pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor
of England in a cause which was set down before Vice-
Chancellor Knight Bruce, he (Mr. Tennant) had to
ask leave to give a notice of motion for next Thurs-
day, to discharge that order.
The LORD CHANCELLOR at once gave the leave
required,

OLDPIELD V. COBBETT.

Mr. Cobbett, the son of the celebrated Member for
Oldham, was again brought up before the Court, upon
habeas, having been committed to the fleet for con-
tempt, in not paying certain costs, for the purpose of
making a motion of an appeal from the order thad had
been pronounced against him.
Mr. V. PARKER submitted that Mr. Cobbett could not
be heard until he had cleared his contempt by paying the
costs he had been ordered to pay.
The LORD CHANCELLOR held that Mr. Parker's ob-
jection was fatal to Mr. Cobbett's application, and re-
fused to hear his motion until he had cleared his con-
tempt.
BLUNDELL V. GLADSTONE—BLUNDELL V. STONER—
BLUNDELL V. BLUNDELL.

The arguments in this part-heard case were then re,
Mr. HODGSON proceeding to address the Court on be•
half of the plaintiff, following Mr. Tinney.
The arguments had not concluded when the Court rose,

By the Dutch mail, received last night, we
learn that on the 23d of November the Supreme
Court at Copenhagen sentenced a number of
Baptists to various fines and costs for holding
illegal religious meetings, and administering the
Sacrament. The following is from the St.Peters-
burgh Journnl of the 20th of November:—

" On the 14th there was no communication between Cron-
stadt and Oranienbaum. Tow arils the evening three barks
arrived from the latter place, and one left Cronstadt,
although the channel was covered with ice. On the 15th,
the ships which attempted to put to sea were at first hin-
dered, but a fresh wind springing up cleared the chan-
nel, and they were able to depart. Up to the 15th,
1,360 ships had arrived at Cronstadt."

should say, that altogether he was a healthy subject. He
was rather short-necked. There was an adherence of
the dura mater to the skull bone; that must have been
owing to long-continued previous inflammation. Apo-
plexy may be produced by overloading the stomach with
solid food, particularly where stimulating liquors have been
taken. In this case it may have been produced by solid food,
stimulating liquors, and exercise. Solid food, if taken
to excess by a person not accustomed to it, produces very
sudden effects. In this case the stomach was not gorged;
its contents did not exceed a pint.
Mr. CHAMBERS—Are dinner parties, and drinking
after them, likely to lead to death ? Witness—Where
there is great eating, decidedly yes.—(A laugh.)
Mr. CHAMBERS—Are corporation feasts likely to lead
to death ? Witness—l have never had the honour of
being at one ; but I am sure, generally speaking, more
persons are starved to death by over-eating than by under-
eating.—(A laugh.)
Mr. CHAMBERS—Stared by over-eating. Witness—
Yes, logically speaking, although it may seem a contra-
diction.—(Laugh ter.)
By Mr. C. JONES—I am afraid I cannot attribute the
death in the present instance to the water in the ven-
tricles. If I had found the body perfectly healthy, and
with no other appearances than the water in the ven-
tricles, I might have attributed death to that cause.
Mr. B. Brooks, surgeon, attended the post mortem
examination with last witness, and attributed the death
of deceased to his having been given spirituous liquors
to excess, and afterwards driven about in a cab.
This was the case for the prosecution.

The French Journals state that the Ministry is

M. de Lamartine, the poet, is a candidate for the
Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. Ilis wife is an

The Governments of France and England are said to
have come to an entire understanding relative to the dif-
ferences between Turkey and Greece. King Otho will be
called upon to answer the charges of Turkey, and if his
answer be not satisfactory, the Great Powers have re-
solved to compel him to respect the integrity of the Ot-
toman Empire.
The Gazette de France has the following ;—" It has
been decided in a Council of Ministers, that a grant of
40 million francs, payable in five years, shall be demanded
of the Chambers as an indemnity to the beet-root sugar
manufacturers, on the suppression, at the end of next
year, of this branch of national cultivation and industry."
Purchases of wheat are now effecting throughout
Spain for the British markets, and it will be shipped from
Oporto, Bilbao, and Santander; the Salamanca grainmay
be put on board at the first-named port for about 345.

from the two others, will cost 365. to 38s. per quarter.
Freight, charges in England, and commission may be
reckoned under 10s., and it is well known that most of
the grain is of the very finest quality.
