The Madrid Journals received are of the 26th
ult., and from the Gaulle of that date we have copied
some interesting official papers, which will be found
elsewhere. Among these is a manifesto from the
Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, claiming
the guardianship of the young Queen ISABELLA
and the Infanta, her sister. What answer the
Regency will make to this assumption of right we
know not, but we do not think that Don FRAN-
CISCO DE PAULA, is exactly the person to entrust
with the education of his illustrious niece. As
Princely understandings go among the BoUIIBOI S,
the Infant DE PAULO may pass muster, but his.
Royal Highness is by no means a Solon. The
Spanish people cannot afford to trifle with the
education of their youthful Sovereign, if they will
only remember that her MAJESTY had a knave for
her father, a fool for her grandfather, and that her
mother's " swan-like" nea7l6-'her courtiers called
it, was accompanied with a swan-like understand-
standing. A Constitutional QUEEN has duties to
perform which cannot be performed without com-
mon sense.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR tcok appeals to-day.
SHUTTLEWORTH V HAWORTH. _

---
This case came before the Ginn upon appeal from the
decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The only
question in this case was whether certain individuals who
had not been made parties to the suit were entitled to the
costs of making out their claims in the same manner as
they would have been if they had been made parties. The
testator in the cause left a certain sum to be distributed
among the descendants of his uncle and aunts to the fifth
generation. No less than 487 persons made out their
claims as coming under that denomination before
the Master, but only a few of that number
were made parties to the suit for the administration of the
testator's estate. Upon the case coming before the Vice-
Chancellor, his Honour decided that those parties only
were entitled to their costs who had been made parties,
and, from this decision, the present appeal was brought.
Mr. Wigram and Mr. Geldart appeared for the appel-
lants, and Mr. Spence, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Cockerel',
for the respondents.

The Lunn CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the par-
ties were entitled to those costs which would have been
given to them if they had been made defendants to the
suit. As to the costs the parties had been put to hefrwe
the Master in making out their pedigree, his Lordship gave
no opinion.

on the 15th March, and the receipt was sent down to Mr.
Greenwood; the money was not paid until the 12,h of
April, but in the mean time Mr. Greenwood had been
debited with the amount, and allowed it, Mr. Simpson
being well known to him, and he having dealings with hire.
On the 12th April the money was paid, and Mr. Simpson
died ; the office then refused payment of the policy, and
upon the trial they pleaded that the new contract set
up by the receipt of the money on the 12th April
had been obtained by flatlet and covin, Mr.
Simpson having in the meantime contracted a disease
which would tend to slorten his life, was liable
to fits, and of drunken and intemperate habits. They of-
fered no evidence upon that plea, and the Jury were dis-
charged
upon it. The Learned Gentleman contended
that the Court having debited Mr. Greenwood with the
amount of the premium, which he consented to, and it
being afterwards adopted by Mr. Simpson, must be con-
sidered as a payment of the premium upon the day. The
Court were of opinion that Greenwood was not in any
way the agent of Simpson for the payment of the premium,
and that therefore there was no evidence of any new con-
-1 tract' and therefore the verdict ought not to be disturbed.
Rule refused.
