LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 6.
HODGES V. DAVY.
Mr. KELLY moved in this case for a rule to show
cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set
aside, and a now trial had, on the ground of misdirec-
tion, and the damages being excessive. It was an ac-
tion for the infringement of the copyright of a work
called the Dub/in Dissector, tried before Lord Denman
at the last Westminster sittings, when a verdict was
had for the plaintiff, damages 2001.
Lord DF.NMAN—I certainly thought the damages
very heavy.
Mr. KELLY—There was no doubt that the plaintiffs
were the proprietors of the copyright, and that the de-
fendant had sold a spurious edition, but the question
was whether the Jury had assessed the damages on a
right principle. No doubt the defendant had been
guilty of very reprehensible conduct in selling these
works, and in writing a very improper letter to the

In this case, which was tried before Mr. baron Rolfe
at the last Liverpool Assizes, Mr. Creswell moved for
a rule to show cause why judgment should not be en-
tered for the defendants, notwithstanding some of the
issues had been found for the Crown.
The Court granted the rule.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 6.
EDW•RDS AND ANOTHER V. SCOTT AND ANOTHER.
(Continued from our Paper of yesterday.)
The COURT was of opinion that the Learned Judge
(the Lord Chief Justice) who presided at the trial was
supposed by the Jury to have put it to them as a point
of law, that a written notice of the assignment of the
policy to the Insurance Company was necessary to the
validity of the transfer ; whereas he ought to have left
it to them to say, whether the notice given by Scott
and Co., verbally, through their clerk, was sufficient.
For this reason, the rule for a new trial was made ab-
solute—the costs of this application to follow the ver-
dict on the second trial.
Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL applied for an order to
compel the defendants to " keep the policy alive," by
continuing the payments of premium, until the issue of
the new trial.
Mr. GREENWOOD said of course the defendants
would pay the premium, to be re-paid if the plaintiffs
again obtained a verdict.
The COURT—Of course that must be the under-
standing.

WINDSOR.--(YESTERDAY.)

Her Majesty took a carriage airing to-c'ay, for the &..t
thee since her union with Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg.
The Queen was driven by his Royal highness, and ap-
peared in great spirits. The Prit,c,-.. looked remarkably
well. Her Majesty, who was accompanied by the distin-
guished viAters who arrived to-day at the Castle, arid at-
tended by a numerous suite, drove through the Long walk,
and returned up the King's-road, turning off through Peas.
cod-street, in which direction they proceeded to the Castle.
I forgot to mention in a previous letter that the Queen
presented the sum of 201. to the Committee who veers ap-
pointed to collect subscriptions to defray the expenses of
meat, bread, &c., presented to the pour of the town on the
day of her Majesty's marriage.
The ball to celebrate her Majesty's nuptials took place
last evening at the Town [lel, which was elegantly fitted
up for the occasion. Adams band was in attendance.
N.qtrly 200 of the rank and fashion of the town and neigh-
bourhood were resat, including some of the officers (and
their ladies) stationed here, and dancing was kept op till
post six o'clock this roerning.
Some an has appended the signature of Jim Crow to
the eongratulat,ry Address to her Majesty upon her mar-
riage, which has caused a good deal of hubbub in th;s
small town, and denur.ciatior.s the most terrible have been
levelled at the unlucky "defacer" of the loyal Address.
It is fully expected that the Court will leave the Castle
for Buckingham Palace on Friday next, contrary to the
general report, upon her Majesty's arrival on Monday. last
that the Royal visit to the Castle would extend over a period
of at least a month.-,lllorniv Herat!.

SOUTH AMERICA.

A letter dated Monte Video, November 28, states, that
the arrivals of British gods, in the hope that the blockade
of Buenos Ayres would be raised, had been most extensive.
It also states that accounts frum Buenos Ayres had been
received, in which mention was made of the revolution at-
tempted in the southern states against Rosas, end in which
a great number of the richest estancieros of that quarter
had been engaged. The attempt had tailed, and the in-
surgents had joined Lavalle in Inter Rios. The Exchange
was looking up ; on the 28th it was 43 I. per dollar.

I'itaiNl) THLATI-tra.

This little theatre has been opened as a Temple of
Magic by Mr. J. H. Anderson, who styles himself the
Great Wizard of the North, and well does he deserve the
title, as he certainly is entitled to rank as the first of living
professors of the cabalistic art. We paid him a visit last
evening, and were highly delighted with the neatness and
celerity with which all his delusions were performed. The
apparatus with which he performs the greater number of
his experiments is of solid silver, and in appearance
most gorgeous. The most amusing performance
of the evening was that of the Great Egyptian Astrologer.
This Astrologer is a figure about a foot-and-a-half high,
attired in Egyptian costume, worked by mechanism, which
is wound up in a similar manner to a watch. The figure
is then placed on the table, and by signs describes the suit
and number of any card that any of the company may draw
from the pack—and should any of our fair readers be de-
sirous of a peep into futurity, if she will visit the Strand
Theatre any evening, the Egyptian Astrologer will, from
his magic book, inform her of her future fate. The Gun
Trick, which we believe is peculiar to Mr. Anderson, con-
cluded the evening's performances, and is certainly the most
wondeiful feat we ever saw attempted. A gentleman pre-
sent loaded an apparently ordinary gun in the ordinary
manner, with a marked leaden ball. Ha fired it at Mr.
Arderson, who immedia!ely produced the bullet in his
hand. The delusion in this instance is the more extraor-
dinary, because, with the exception of handing the gun to
the gentleman who fi ed previous to his loading it, Mr.
Anderson did not meddle with it from first to last. The
performances commenced at seven and were over shortly
after ten o'clock, with an interval of fifteen minutes between
the two parts into which the performances were divided.
This interval was agreeably occupied-by the performance
of several popular airs by the band. We would recom-
mend our readers to pay a visit to tin NVizard during his
sojourn in the metropolis, and can assure them that they
will find the Temple of Magic an exceedingly agreeable
lounge. The house was welt filled last evening in every
part, and the Wizard, at the conclusion, was greeted with
enthusiastic applause.

fulsome eulogies of the existing representative of loyaltyC\--
as must be absolutely sickening, as well as afflonting, to
the good sense and good taste, of every reasonable person►
—these same sycophants indulge themselves day after day;
in the most ignorant and virulent invective against the,
Church, upon the faithful support of which the right to
reign in this country is by law conditionai."—The
Morning Chronicle thus expresses itself on the subject of
Lord J. Russell's speech on Tuesday night on the Church-
rate Question :—" The Dissenter is willing, like the rest
of the world, to pay for one religion, that one being his own.
Ho asks not for privilege, he claims equality. Lord Jolts
Russell objects to immunity from Church-rate as a bribe ;
does he see no evil in the imposition of Church-rate as al
penalty ? He is afraid of exonerating the unconscientious
..is there nothing to fear in burdening the conscientious?"
The Morning Advertiser, alluding to a recently published
currency pamphlq, remarks as follows : —" It is gr,:tifying
to perceive from t-he number of pamphlets on the cur-
rency question now in course of publication, that the sub-
ject attracts an attention likely to lead to art ameliora-
tion, if tr.t to a thorough reform of the evil; pervading►
our monetary system."

KINGSTON PETT Y SESSIONS.

IMPORTANT ALTERATION OF THE HORS?, POLICE -Since
the extension of the Metropolitan Police Force to a dis-
tance of fifteen miles from London, the Commissioners
have effected an important alteration by removing the
horse patrol entirely from the high roads within that dis-
tance., and have assigned other duties to them.
Sir H. FLETCHER. on seeing Mr. D3wsett, the Inspec-
tor of Police for this district in attendance, inquired of
him the nature of the new arrangements, and w hether the
removal cf the mounted police from the high reads was a
final proceeding, and, if so, what protection was now cf-
forded by the new arrangement.
The Inspector replied that he believed that the re-
meval of the horse police was intended to be folly
carried out so far as the high reads were concerned,
in each district. Policemen on foot, well• armed men, went
over the beats formerly cecupied by the horse patrol, and
the latter, instead of being employed on the high road,
were new eent into the lanes and cross-roads. and the duty
was so managed that in every district the beets of the men
intersected each other, and the mounted police were more
likrly to be of service in dies:, unfrequented places than in
the high road.
Mr. SHARPE inquired wheth-r there was the same num-
ber of mounted poiiee in the district as there was under the
farmer arrangement
The Inspector replied that there had been no diminu-
tion in the number and the conversation then dropped.

The demand fi,r the ROY AL WEDDING
SUN on Mondaywas beyond all precedent. The
Printing Machine, which is one of the best in
. London, was at work from the hour of publica-
tion till the departure of the Mail, throwing
off 7,000 per hour ; and even this vast number
was not equal to the demand. We may say it
without vanity, because it is truth, that in all
the history of the Newspaper Press there never
was such a quantity of Newspapers published
within the same time.
The arrangements we had to make were of the
most complicated description, yet, with one ex-
ception, all have succeeded. Our readers will
perceive that the Paper is 9f a smaller size than
usual. We had ordered weeks ago a large
supply of the full sized paper. It was sent e
by the manufacturer, but owing to the breaking
up of the roads in consequence of the floods, it
has not yet arrived. Luckily we had made
preparation for such a contingency, and had
reserved a sufficient quantity to answer the tem-
porary demand. Our readers in a few days
will see what an elegant Marriage Present we
would have presented to them but for the envi-
ous floods.
Those of our Country Readers who may not have received
THE SUN according to order, will bear the dis-
appointment patiently. The demand for the Paper
was such, that tkongh there were ten persons em-
ployed in opening letters and writing covers, and
twice as many in packing up the pape; s, we have not
been able to get through all our Country Correspon-
deuce yet.

Elta,—l observed in The Sun of the other day a para-
graph, stating as notable that two gentlemen bad (if I mis-
take not), in two days, killed with the fly about tea dozen
trouts at a lake in Wales. Perhaps it may be still more
notable that the last day I was fishing with the fly was in
blast Water, Cumberland, where I killed upwards of
eleven dozen, and that without considering it at all a novelty.

pears to be, that whilst 2,329 patients have been admitted
into the Cork, since the opening, in March, 1826, to the Ist
of March, 1840, only 201 have been admitted into the Clon-
mel Asylum during the same time. The total number of

TO TILE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.
Leeds, April 10, 1840.
Sir,—ln opening my Sun of Tuesday last I was ex-
ti;r,cmely grieved to find a paragraph, which I must take the
werty of requesting you to contradict. Its purport was,
that last Sunday his Reverence the Vicar of Leeds .‘ had
requested and exhorted his congregation to offer up prayers
for the souls of those departed."
You, S.r, cannot for a moment entertain a belief that
14101 was really tho case, for that practice, being one of
the most dangerous of all Popish errors, is particularly re-
Ptidiated by Dr. Hook, whose faith necessitates him to
teach um! __,y-
Catholic doctr-- cs, and consequently to abjure
all Roman Catholic ones.
If you want any further evidence of the truth of what I
assert, I can only say that I was present at the time the
soreon alluded to was preached, and can therefore
ilmnly a,,sure you that not the slightest word issued
from the Doctor's lips to give one shade of truth to such a
Calumny.
I sincerely hope and believe, Sir, my request will be
complied with, for since what you inserted will undoubt-
edly, if uncontradicted, do injury to Christ's Holy Church,
You cannot, either as a Christian or a gentleman, but be
glad to have it in your power to make that contradiction.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
A LEEDS CHURCHMAN.
, [We readily insert the above: the paragraph com-
Pwned of was copied from a provincial Paper, the Yorir-
shiremam.—En. Sun.]

BOILER EXPLOSION.—On Wednesday las., a
melancholy accident happened at St. Anthony's Oil Mill. near
Newcastle, by which two young men lost their lives. It np.
pears that they were both employed at the works, and had that
morning come a little before five o'clock, but previous to com-
mencing they sat clown tl7e boiler-shed, as was suppescd to
warm themselves, but while there, the engine (which had not
that morning been working) was set to work, when, unfortu-
nately, no sooner was this done than one of the boilers burst,
carrying away the door and part of the shed-front with the two
poor fellows into the river, a distance of fourteen yards.—

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

In answer to Lord HOTHAM,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he proposed on
Monday to bring on the amendment of the Printed
Papers Bill, and as far as he understood those amend-
ments he thought he should move that they be
agreed to. He should next take Lord Seaton's An-
nuity Bill, and then the Admiralty Courts' Bill.
London, England, 1840-04-11

the Printed Papers Bill with amendments, to which the
concurrence of the House was desired.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the Bill, with the
amendments, be printed, and taken into consideration
on Monday next.

Mr. HOPE complained of some returns, relative to
Epping Forest, which] had been moved for, and which
were calculated to throw imputations upon the character
of a noble relative of his, Lord Douglas.
After a few words from Mr. Wallace and the Lord-
Advocate, the subject was dropped.
The Report upon Lord Seaton's Annuity Bill was
postponed till Monday next.
