C ROSUY V. CHU LIDCi 31ENT,

This case was argued last week, when Ins Lordship decided
that the defendants, the executor and residuary legatees of the
will of the testator, ought to have retained 1,0001. Three per Cent.
Consols in trust to pay the dividends to the plaintiff for her separate
use, until her youngest child should attain the age of 21. Hulot._
innately for the defendants, instead of retaining the stock upon
those trusts they transterred it, at an early period after the
testator's death, into the name of the plaintiff, then a married
woman, and she, with her husband, sold and transferred the
principal to a stranger. The plaintiff now called upon the
defendants to replace that stock, and the Master of tne Rods
stated last week that, hard as it was upon the defendants,
she was entitled to that relief. The youngest child had nut
attained 1.1. The other question (upon which judgment was this
day given) was, who was entitled to the dividends during
the minority of the child ? His Lordship thought that in
equity she ought not to be permitted, as against the trustees,
to maintain any claim in respect to the dividends, and on the
fund being transferred into Court, the dividends ought to be paid
to the trustees till further order, with liberty to apply when the
youngest child attained 21.

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.

That most mercurial of actors, Balls, commenced an en-
gagement here last evening, and as might be expected, the
house was crammed before the rising of the curtain. The
first piece was a new melodrama from the pen of Balls
himself, entitled The Guerilla Chief, and a very bustling,
spirit-stirring affair it is. He himself acted the principal cha-
racter, Ronquillo, the Guerilla Chief, a fine high-spirited,
noble-hearted fellow of the Massareni school, and highly
as we have always thought of Balls' talents, we cer-
tainly were not aware until last evening of his powers
in the delineation of serious character. His Roe'
quillo is an excellent piece of melodramatic acting,
and was duly appreciated by the audience. He was well
supported by the other members of the corps dramatique,
and the piece which, as usual, was excellently got up, was
completely successful. The farce of Three and the
Deuce followed. Balls, of course, sustaining the charac-
ters of the Three Singles with all the versatility,'energYs
and effervescence for which he has ever been so celebrated.
He is certainly the most elegant and gentlemanly dancer
on the stage, and many professed dancers would do well
to study him in order to catch that " grace beyond the
reach of art" which is the distinguishing characteristic
of a gentleman. Honner's Humphrey Grizzle was very
good, and our old friend Williams was rich exceedingly le
the Justice. It struck us however that he occeasionally
introduced certain oaths into the part more than were set
down for him ; the force of his acting would-not be to the
least diminished by the omission of these expletives and
we would remind him, in the words of Bob Acres, that,
" D-ns have had their day." Great credit is due to
Honner for securing the services of Balls, and we are glad
to see that his patrons appreciate and reward his judicious
catering. The lovers of genuine comedy residing in the
neighbourhood of Sadler's Wells should not let the op-
portunity now afforded them of seeing one of the first come-
dians of the day. The pantomime, which is worthy of the
days when Grimaldi was the presiding genius here, wound
up the evening's amusements, and sent the audience laugh-
ing to their homes.

English Liberal, the true Reformer—Radical, like my-
self—is as determined to do justice to Ireland as I am—
( Vehement cheering)—and I am as ready, on the other
hand, to make as good battle as I can for England. Mr.
O'Connell then sat down amidst loud cheering,
I. D. Russ, Esq., secretary to the Ulster Constitu-
tional Association, next addressed the meeting.
Mr. Nicirou.s proposed " The union of the middle and
the working classes," which was received with loud cheers.
SHARMAN CRAWFORD, Esq., responded to the toast.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sharmaft Crawford's speech,
Mr. COLLINS alluded with considerable energy to the
subject of the proposed union with the middle and work-
ing classes, and urged that the precise terms of the union
should be perfectly well understood. Let the middle
classes propose any measure cf popular benefit, and it
should receive the support of the Chartists.
JOSHUA BOWER, Esq in a neat speech, alluded to his
political career, as showing he had always been virtually
an advocate for the Charter, and bad advocated the popu-
lar measures they desired.
Colonel THOMPSON afterwards spoke, and some other
peeches were delivered, after which the meeting separated.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

-
The Secretary of the Zoological Society presents his
compliments to the Editor of rise Sun, and begs he wil
do him the favour to contradict the paragraph which
appeared in that journal of Thursday, relative to the
removal of the Society's collection from the Regent's
Park. There is no intention whatever of removing from
the Gardens, nor is there any truth in the alleged differ-
ence between the Society and the Woods and Forests.

THE KIIi.KCALDY BURGHS.
The nomination of candidates for these burghs took
place last Siturday. The proposition of Dr. Bowring's
Committee, either to refer the matter to a general vote
of " the whole adult male population," or to " a vote
of the electors, taken by ballot," has been declined by
that of Colonel Ferguson, and both candidates will
therefore go to the poll, unless a show of hands in fa-
vour of Colonel Ferguson shoald induce Dr. Bowriog lo
retire at the nomination. The Scotsman says—" We
wish Dr. Bowriog had not come forward. When thee
was a Liberal candidate already in the field, whose
principles were unimpeached, and who had been well
received by the electors, it was unwise to divide the
constituency by starting a second candidate on the
same side."

(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.)
THE ROCHDALE CHURCH-RATE MANDAMUS.—THE QUEEN or
THE PROSECUTION OF W. BRIERLY V. THE JUSTICES or
ROCHDALE.
Mr. COWLING applied for a rule calling upon tip Ma-
gistrates of Rochdale to show cause why a mandamtit should
not issue, ordering them to hear the complaint of William
Briefly, one of the churchwardens of Rochdale, against
William'Butterivorth, for the 'non-payment of Church-
rates. It ippeared that a Church-rate had been made for
the parish of Rochdale, to winch Butterworth had been
assessed. Brierly, the Churchwarden, haclsummoned him
under the Act 53 Geo. 111., cap. 129, Wore the Magis-
trates, when Buttervjoh's attorney sock a pre-
!biker,' objectick2Arit the Magistrates could not
proceed to hear the complaint of Brierly; inasmuch
as by the law every application for Church .rates ought to
be made by all the churchwardens. The attorney for
Brierly referred them to the 7th section of the Act in
question, and contended that under that section the
Magistrates were bound to hear the case on the ap-
plication of one churchwarden alone. The Magis-
trates, however, decided *in favour of the objection,
and dismissed the case. Now Rochdale was a large
parish, divided into tendistricts, each of which had a
separate churchwarden, and Brierly was the - church-
warden of the district in which Butterworth tesidcd,
and in which the property, in respect of which he was as-
sessed, was situated. Now, surely, it could never be con-
tended that the ten .churehw'ardens were to demand the
Church-rates of every individual in the parish, and under
the 7th section he contended that the summons of one
churchwarden was quite sufficient.—Rule nisi granted.

NEW MEMBERS.

Mr. CAREW took the oaths and his scat for
the county of Wexford, and Mr. I'IGOT, the
Attorney-General for Ireland, took the oaths and his
scat, upon his re-election for Clonniel.
CARLOW ELECTION.

Sir T. FREMANTLE stated that there was an-
other Hon. Member (Col. Bruen) who was waiting to
take the oaths and his scat for the Borough of Carlow,
but there was an error in the date of the return. '
lie
election took place on the 30th of November, and a
return was made on the sth of December, but by some
accident or mistake it was dated the sth of November.
He (Sir Thomas Freemantic) apprehended that it was
merely a clerical error, and that it did not affect the merits
or validity of the election ; but if any doubts were en-
tertained upon the subject, he was prepared to point
out a similar case which occurred in the year 1790.
The Honourable Baronet then referred to the
Journals, from which it appeared an entry had
been made, to the effect that the House be-
ing informed there was a mistake in the
last return of a Knight of the Shire for the county of
Huntingdon, the return being dated April 15, instead of
May 15, it was ordered that the Clerk of the Crown
do attend and produce the return. That having been
done, and a Member having informed the House that he
was present at the return, and that it was made on the
15th of May, it was ordered that the return ehould be
amended by inserting May instead of April. The Hon.
Baronet concluded by moving that the Clerk of the
Crown do attend the House forthwith and produce the
return.—Agreed to.
The Clerk of the Crown immediately attended and
produced the return.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The doors of the Gallery were opened shortly before
two o'clock, and on our admittance the general ap-
pearance of the House struck us as much lighter than
last Session. The interior has been repainted of a light
cream colour. The bude lights occupy the same places
they did at the close of the Session ; they have, how-
ever, been ornamented in such a manner as to give
them a much more elegant appearance than formerly.
The attendance of Members was scarcely so nume-
rous as it usually is at the commencement of a Session ;
the only occupants of the Treasury Bench at two
o'clock were Sir Henry Parnell and the Attor-
ney-General, while the front bench of the Opposi-
tion was at that hour quite unoccupied. Mr. Ewart,
who entered the House shortly after two o'clock, seated
himself for a while on the front opposition bench in the
place usually occupied by Sir Robert Peel, but he soon
crossed over to his old place, and joined Mr. Hawes on
the second bench on the Ministerial side. The only
Conservative Member of any importance, who was
present at this time, was Sir Frederick Pol.
lock. Shortly after two o'clock, however, the House
began to fill rapidly. At twenty minutes after two Sir
Augustus Clifford, the Gentleman Usher of the Black
Rod, announced to the Speaker and the House that her
Majesty required their immediate attendance at the bar
of the House of Peers, and in obedience to this an-
nouncement the Speaker, accompanied by the
greater number of Members then present, and pre-
ceded by the Sergeant at Arms, bearing the Mace,
left the House. The Speaker returned after an ab-
sence of about ten minutes, and the House adjourned
during pleasure.

The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at Half-past Three
o'clock, and informed the House that during the recess
he had issued new writs for the election of Members to
serve in Parliament for the borough of Carlow, in the
room of Mr. Vigors, deceased ; for the county of Mayo,
in the room of Sir W. Brabazon, deceased ; and for
the Kirkcaldy burghs, in the room of Robert Ferguson,
deceased.

MEETING IN ULSTER.
BELFAST, THURSDAY, JAN. 21.
;ha grand demonstration of Protestant feeling in Ulster
took place to-day, in Belfast, in the Circus. The assem.
biage was immense, composed of some of the most d' tin.
vished and influential men of Uluer. Upon the platform
r observed the Marquis of Downs re, Lard Hillsborough,
Lord Viscount Newry and Morne, Mr. Emerson Tennent,
Ty! P., Sir Robert Bateson, M.P., Lord Loftus, eldestson
of the Marquis of Ely, Dr. Cooke, and several other dis-
tlnguished laymen and divines.
The Marquis of Downshire was called to the chair.
GEORGE ROBERT DAwsoN, Esq., proposed an address of
congratulation to her Majesty and Prince Albert upon the
birth of the Princess Royal. He illuded to the recent
(events which occurred in Belfast. He said he could not
express one-twentieth part of the indignation he felt at that
" ruffian" O'Connell coming down to Belfast on his buca.
beering crusade, to oblige country gentlemen to come from
their peaceful homes in order to prevent, by a counter-de-
monstration, the impression going abroad that Belfast was
deceived by the impostor.—(Cheers.) Mr. Steele, his
satellite, had sworn, in an information before a Magistrate,
that he was afraid an Orange mob would molest him. All
Ragland would resound with plaudits of the bravery of the
men who turned O'Connell out of Ulster.—(Cheers.)

an account of the proceedings yesterday, and in which it
will be found that Mr. O'Connell took a very prominent
part. Mr. O'Connell did not arrive ur.til about twelve
o'clock ; and he has, it µ•11l be seen, explained the reason
is by he %v as not able to attend at the great ineeCng of the
preceding day. From what has since occurred, I have rea-
son to believe that, had he been at M•irshall's mill on
Thursday, he would have Lei:n heard, and this notwith-
standing ill the effirts of Mr. F, O'C.mnor and h s fol-
lowers to excite a prejudice against him. As far as I
could observe, there was not only the greatest anxiety to
see him, but, when he was recognized, to applaud him.
I have often been present when lie addressed public meet-
ings in Ireland, and I can say that I never witn-ssed a
more enthusiastic reception than ttat which he obtained
yesterday evening, nor did I ever before hear hi; opi-
nions more attentively listened to, nor more warmly re
spcnded to.
OPENING OF ST. ANN'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

This handsome building was opened for the purpses of
education by a public breakfast, which took pli.ce at eleven
o'clock in the School Room. A considerable number of
highly respectable ladies and gentlemen were present.
Mr. O'CONNELL entered the Sohool-ro-am at half-past
twelve o'clock, and was received with the most k-nihusiastic
plaudits. lie was led to the table at the top of the room,
and on coming beside the Chairman he said : —Before he
took his scat he should make an apology to the ladies and
gentlemen present for not baying arrived as soon as he had
promised ; but the delay was inevitable, and could not be
attributable to any fault of his. He left Belfast for Port
Patrick at an early hour on Wednesday morning-, so as to
arrive at Carlisle that night; but owing to a blunder or.
that side of the channel, he was delayed upwards of five
hours. The harbours of Port Patrick cost the public
about 25 0001., and yet such was the want of proper ar-
rangement there, that he was delayed for the period stated,
before he could get his carriage landed. Then another
casualty that befel him was one of the post-horses he bad
engaged falling dead on the road, and by that means he
was again delayed for some hours ; but such was his
anxiety to reach Leeds in time for the present occasion,
that he travelled all night, and appeared beore tbein in
such a trim as he would be ashamed of under any other
circumstances.

Sir Edward Vavasour, Mr. Walmsley, Mr. O'Connell,
and Mr. Roebuck, severally addressed the meeting, but
we regret that we have not space for a report of their
speeches.

CALAMITOUS l4LOO➢) AT B ITII.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Owing to the sudden change in the weather,
from the extremest cold to the warmth of a summer's day,
there was a general thaw here the latter part of the past
week. The consequence has been very calamitous to the
poor people living on the banks of the Avon, especially as
to those living in the Dolemeads, Bath. So sudden did
the flood come upon them early on Sunday morning last,
That the kitchens were full of water before they could re-
move their furniture. Some who were sleeping in their
kitchens were rot aware of the flood till it reached them
in their beds, which are consequently very much damaged.
Some have lost their pigs ; others, valuable articles of
furniture. Those losses might have been avoided had the
police given timely warning of the approach of the flood.
The pigs gave the first alarm to the inhabitants of
Queen's Terrace, Pulteney-road. At four o'clock, a.m.,
all was bustle and confusion ; the darkness of the marr-
ing rendered it impossible for any one to ascertain the
extent of the flood. At break of day the flood had so far
advanced as to render the Pultcney.road impassable. All
the woodwork, erected at great cost, for the purpose of
building a bridge across the Avon for the Great Western
railway, was entirely swept away by the flood. The crash
was tremendous ; the noise it occasioned was heard nearly
all over the city. Great must be the loss to the Railroad
Company ; in consequence of this calamitous occurrence
the opening of the railroad Will not take place so soon as
the Company expected. The loss experienced by the poor
people of the Dolemeads is frightful ; some have lost all
they had in store for their winter's provision. It is re-
ported that a child and a woman have bete drown?cl. One
man has lost all his pigs ; another has bat a cow. In the
parish of Walcot the flood has done great mischief. It is
really heartrending to hear the tales of diitress, aid to
witness this morning (Monday) the condition of the inha-
bitants of the Dolemeads. Here is a case in which the
humane of our city may exercise their charity ; here is a
case calling loudly for some individuals to come forward to
relieve the distresses of those who have been so much in-
jured by this disastrous flood. Let a Committee be ap-
pointed and a subscription opened for that purpose. The
scene in the Dolemeads is truly miserable : the flood has
left behind immense quantities of mud, to clear away which
it will require much time and expense. In conclusion, I
trust that a Committee will be appointed to receive sub.
scriptions for the purpose of affarding some relief to
to thole injured by the flood. HUMANITAS.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-FRIDAY.

THE DERlll.—Very little was done ; but one alteration
requires to be pointed out. Palwmon has gained so much
on the Rosalie colt as to make it doubtful which has the
call. Marshal Soult is losing ground, and two or three
points more than were offered at Tattersall's on Thursday
could no doubt have been obtained without difficulty.

These facts afford the best refutation of the assumption
that the 111!tropolitan University is a failure. So far from
its proving, a failure, its success is, perhaps, unequalled in
the history of similar institutions, and this, too, although
it had to contend with difficulties of no ordinary kind at
almost every step of its progress. In the
department of
medicine the success of the institution has been most tri-
umphant, m o'e especially when it is considered that the
candidaterequired to give proof of a liberal preliminary
a ut,
is rc
education, and that the examinations in medicine are upon
a more extended scale, and, we believe, much more
searching than those of any other institution in the coun-
try, and that the degree grants no license to practise.
We shall now examine the force of the strictures of the
Reviewer on the course of instruction required by the Uni-
versity. After pointing, out some of the faults of the
medical corporations, the writer, referring to the Univer-
sity of London, observes :
In this new institution (the Metropolitan University),
the faults of its predecessors seem to have been'rather ex-
aggerated than otherwise. As far es we can perceive, it
is restionsible only to itself; acid it will be remarkable if,
eventually, It does no: luuk to Its own interests more than
[to chase of the community. The degree of Bachelor of
Medicine is said to be iutended for the class of general

CERTIORARI

Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT applied to have the proceedings
held before the Coroner, on an Inquest on the bodies of
two persons named Simpson and Dawson, removed into
this Court by certiorari, on the ground of informality. The
persons in question had been killed in consequence of an
accident on the Birmingham and London Railway, and
the Coroner's Jury had returned a verdict of wilful murder
in the case of one of these persons, and of fclo de se in the
other ; they had also given a deodand to an immense
amount, on the locomotive engine, and this would
give_ rise to a very grave question respecting the
law of deodands, which would give rise to considerable
discussion. Anciently a deodand could only be levied on
some living thing having the power of moving towards
the death of the individual, and grave doubts might be en-
tertained whether a deodand could be levied upon a loco-
motive engine at all. The law of deodands had once un-
dergone discussion before the Court, but the case had
gone off, and the Court bad given no decision. There
were various other informalities, and he trusted he had
stated sufficient to entitle him to a rule nisi to remove the
depositions into this Court by certiorari.
Rule nisi granted.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JAN. 18.
NORRIS v. e TAMP.

This is a special case, arising out of a commission of
bankruptcy. The Court was occupied the whole day in
the reading of document ry evidence, consisting of letters
and extracts from books of accounts, from which nothing
interesting to the public, or explanatory of the case, could
be gleaned. It is expected to occupy more than another
day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, J.div. 18.
The Court was occupied the whole of the day with
demurrers to pleas in cases in the special paper. The ar-
guments related purely to matters of pleading, and were
too technical for the general reader.

by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene-
fited, is the size et a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible
than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest
whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness: And
defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-
invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are
placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day er
candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the
most minute particle is seen Kith great distinctness ; by the use
of which both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con-
nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am-
ber spectacles ; the pernicious use, of amber spectacles
being now well luviwn to the public, and tke vendor being
aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out
the worst " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles."
Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority:
From the " Dictiona7 of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew -Ure,

M.D., F. R. S., &c., &c.
" Amber is an indurated vegetakle juice, and not produced
by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same cfillics which
influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often
found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical
by friction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling
such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
flame."
The above Dr. lire's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Herns, on Lhe-
mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta-
cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable
Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Solomon:' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are
not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe-
rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect
vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and
very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are -nly to be
had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the
York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.
