DESCRIPTION OF THE CATHEDRAL OF
ARDAGH.—Ardagh Cathedral, which is already in a
state of great forwardness, will be of the purest Grecian
architecture, and entirely built of the very finest cut
stone, joined throughout with sheets of lead. Its front
will exhibit six magnificent lonic columns, enclosing a
spacious portico. The tower (nearly two hundred feet
high) will be partly composed of alternate tiers of Co-
rinthian pillars. The interior will be divided into
three aisles ; will contain sever marble altars ; and the
roof will be supported by twenty-six lofty lonic columns
of polished variegated marble. Its site is the town of
Longford, the very centre of the diocese, and of Ireland.
It will be dedicated in honour of St. Mel, first Bishop of
this ancient see, and nephew of St. Patrick, by whom, at
the very commencement of his apostleship, he was con-
secrated, in the same parish where the Cathedral now
stands. For the last three hundred years, a Catholic
church of this splendour would not have been tolerated
in Ireland ; nor indeed had the Catholics up to the pre-
sent adequate means, nor were they in sufficient numbers
in Ardagh, to accomplish so glorious an undertaking.
When finished, it will be the chastest, most extensive,
and most elegant church of modern times, in any part of
the United Kingdom.—Dublin Evening Post.
ACCIDENT TO A PORTER OF THE HOUSES
OF PARLIAMENT.—On Friday morning, George Trout,
54 years of age, one of the porters employed at the
Houses of Parliament, was received into the Westminster
Hospital, under the following circumstances:—lt appears
that Trout, or " Little Georgy," as he was facetiously
called, has been employed in the above capacity for
nearly thirty years, chiefly in showing the building to
strangers, and is as well known in the locality of the
Houses of Parliament for the eccentricity of his charac-
ter, as for his diminutive stature and appearance, being
not more than three feet in height, but having a tremen-
dously large head. On Friday morning as " Little
Georgy " was wending his way towards his old quarters
through Westminster churchyard, something, somewhat
higher than himself, attracted his peculiar attention,
and whilst gazing upwards his feet slipped from under
him, and, although he had not far to fall, his head com-
ing in collision with the corner of a grave-stone, which
appeared just above the ground, lie sustained so severe an
injury to his skull, that when raised up he was found to
be insensible. He was immediately conveyed to the
above hospital, and it is feared it will be some time ere
he will be enabled to resume his wonted employment.
Poor " Little Georgy " has for a long time past re-
ceived the notice of some of the Members of Parliament,
and it is feared that a sister with whom he resided, and
who received her support from him, is thus left unpro-
vided for.
INCENDIARISI.I.—On the night of Friday last,
an outbuilding on the farm of Mr. Wickham, of Rowde,
was set fire to and entirely consumed. On the same
evening an outbuilding on the farm of Mr. Self, of that
village, was also set on fire. From the situation of these
buildings there can be no doubt but that the fires were
the work of an incendiary.— Wiltshire Independent.
ORGANIC REMAINS.—A rare discovery has re-

SUPPOSED INFENDIARY FIRE AT TORQUAY.
—A tire broke out about ten o'clock on Friday night
last, in a farm house at Upton, about a mile and a half
from Torquay. The house was occupied by a widow,
named Callard, and her four sons and a daughter. All
had retired for the night, with the exception of Mrs.
Callard and her daughter, who were also about to go to
bed when the fire was discovered. In two hours the
whole of the roof fell in, and the interior of the house
was entirely consumed, nothing but the walls re-
maining. Shortly before one o'clock, p.m., on Tues-
day, it was discovered that the barn, which had so

The engine was sent for, but, we regret to say., it was

DREADFUL CASE OF STABBING
IN RED-CROFT.
(Abridged from the Sheffield Mercury of to-day.)
On Wednesday, tin inquest was held before Thomas
Badger, Esq., at the Town Hall, on view of the body
of William Stringer, aged 25 years, a carter, residing
in Red-croft. It will be seen from the subjoined evi-
dence that on Sunday forenoon, the deceased, and
a woman named Rodgers, were quarrelling: in
Red-croft, both parties using a good deal of abusive
language. After they had been quarrelling for some
time, the woman struck the deceased upon the face, and
he in consequence knocked her down. Henry Rodgers,
a shoemaker, residing also in Red-croft, afterwards came
up to the assistance of his wife with a knife in his hand,
and stabbed the deceased in several places. The de-
ceased died from his wounds on Monday, about noon.
The following evidence was adduced before the Coroner
and Jury:—
George Ashton, of Bailey-field, pen-knife grinder, de-
posed—About ten minutes to twelve o'clock on Sunday,
I heard a noise in Red-croft, and I went out of my house
to see what it was about. I saw Mrs. Rodgers falling
out with William Stringer. They got to very high
words, and I saw her strike him several times with her
hand, and he struck her again with his fist, and knocked
her down. She got up and flew at him again, and wanted
to strike him, but he got away, and her mother
wanted to get her away into the house. She refused to go.
In the meantime Henry Rodgers came up Red-croft in a
very great hurry, and made a stroke at Stringer with his
fist, and knocked him down. I did not see any knife in
Rodgers's hand when he struck him. Stringer was in
the act of getting up when he saw Rodgers strike him
with a knife, which he had in his right, and cut him
through the neck. The wound bled very much. The
knife that Rodgers stabbed Stringer with was a shoe-
maker's knife, tapering from the haft to the point.
By the CORONER-1 heard Mrs. Rodgers call Stringer
an idle skulking thief, and Stringer said she could not
prove him one.
George Jenkinson, of Union-lane, hammer-maker, de-
posed that he was standing with a person named Smith,
at the top of Red-croft, on Sunday morning about eleven
o'clock. After standing a short time, he saw Rodgers
come running up lied-croft. Stringer was also standing
at the top of Red-croft at the time when Rodgers came
up. While witness was standing at the top of Redcroft,
Mrs. Rodgers came across, and heard Stringer call
Mrs. Rodgers by some most abusive terms. She told
him to pull that silver lace off him, and then Mrs.
Rodgers's mother told him to pull his coat off. When
she had said that, Stringer said to Mrs. Rodgers that he
would kick her, and she went up and struck Stringer
over the face several times. Stringer then knocked her
down. Her mother then came up and took her away,
and Mrs. Rodgers went to the window of her house, but
witness did not hear what she said. Immediately, after
this Rodgers came running up. Witness supposed that
Rodgers was going to strike Stringer with his fist. Rod-
gers struck Stringer in the side. Witness distinctly. saw
Rodgers draw the knife out of Stringer's side. Witness
was about a yard from Stringer when he was stabbed by
Rodgers.
Mary Ann, the wife of Wm. Angelo Andrews, of
Red-croft, die-sinker, deposed--I was in my own
house, in Red-croft, on Sunday morning, between eleven
and twelve o'clock, when I heard a noise. I went to
the door, and Henry Rodgers's wife and Wm. Stringer
were quarrelling. I heard them both make use of a
deal of very abusive language. Rodgers opened the
window of his garret, where he was working, and said to
his wife " Never mind what he calls thee, come in." She
said " Nay," and ran back to the top of Red-croftin a hurry,
and said she would be revenged of that bully—meaning
Stringer. Mrs. Rodgers; then ran up to Stringer, and
struck him twice upon the face. 1 saw Rodgers get up
to his window. Ile did not open it, but looked through
it, and then came down stairs, and out of the house, and
walked a few yards. I did not see anything in his
hand at that time. lie went back again into the
house, and came out a second time. I then saw a shoe-
maker's knife in his left hand. I called out " mind—
he has a knife," and upon that Rodgers turned the
blade up his sleeve. I heard him say, " I mean it,
and I'll do it." When he got past my door he began to
run. I saw Stringer in the act of attempting to pick up
a piece of a brick, which was lying on the ground, when
I saw Rodgers run up to him, and stabhim with the knife
in his left thigh.
By the Coroner—l saw Rodgers pull the knife out of
Stringer's neck; blood followed, and the knife smoked
as if it had been used in killing a pig.
Sarah, the wife of John Palmer, of Red-croft, scale
cutter, deposed to the stabbing of Stringer in his right
side by Rodgers.
John Smith, of Red-croft, table-knife cutler, gave
similar evidence to that of the witness Jenkinson, and
stated further, that after Stringer had been stabbed, he
followed Rodgers to get the knife from him, and he said
that if he went near him he would do the same for him
as he had done to Stringer. Rodgers did not appear in
a passion.
James Maxwell, a policeman stated that after seeing
Stringer, whom he found sitting in a chair in a house,
bleeding from the neck, he went to the house of Rodgers.
The door was fastened ; but on witness knocking it
was opened. Witness found Rodgers in the garret. He
told Rodgers that he had made a pretty job of it, as he
had nearly killed a man, on which Rodgers said, "It is
nothing more than he intended to do to me ; as he had a
knife to do so to me last night." Witness asked him
where the knife was that he had done the deed with, and
Rodgers pointed to his seat where his knife was lying,
and told him that was it. Witness took the knife and
Rodgers into his custody.
Mr. Thomas Thorpe, clerk to Mr. Albert Smith, the
magistrates' clerk,deposed—ln consequence:of information
given to me soon after ten o'clock on Sunday night, that
Wm. Stringer was in a dangerous state, I went to his lodg-
ings, and there found Mr. Raynor. He said he did not
think he should recover. Ile then made a statement,
which I took down word for word, and it is signed by
Stringer, and witnessed by myself and Mr. Raynor. It is
in the following words:—"William Stringer, of Red-croft,
Sheffield, carter, says—l am 25 years of age. I used to lodge
with Henry Rodgers, and left his house filthy, about two
months since.. I have lodged here sham. I met Rod-
gers's wife this morning in Red-croft, and we began dif-
fering about it; she came and gave me a shove. I
shoved her down, and then she went to fetch her hus-
band, Henry Rodgers. He was coming up Red-croft
and I was going down; I saw he had a knife in his
hand, and as soon as I saw that, I stooped down to sam
up a stone, and before 1 could sum up the stone he was
upon me with a shoe-knife in his hand ; he stuck me
with it in the thigh, then in the neck on one side, and
then on the other, and then under the groin. He never
spoke nor I either ; that was all ; I bled like a pig ;
some one took him away. I was brought up home,
and a doctor and a policeman were sent for; it was a
little before twelve o'clock at noon. I and Rodgers had
never any quarrel no farther than me telling him about
this filth ; we bad never any quarrel about anything
else; I have never spoken to Rodgers these seven weeks.
This statement is the truth, as I expect shortly to ap-
pear before my Maker."
Mr. George Turton, surgeon, deposed—l was called in
on Sunday last to see the deceased, William Stringer,
about one o'clock. I understand his death took place
just before twelve o'clock on Monday. I saw him alive
the last time about nine o'clock on Sunday evening, and
I did not then think lie Would survive many hours. I

The CORONER afterwards proceeded to sum up the evi-
dence. In his own opinion, if they thought that

with a deadly intent, then the

The Coroner, in the course of one or two observations,
regretted the frequent occurrence of cases of stabbing
in this neighbourhood.
The room having been cleared, the Jury consulted to-
gether for a few minutes, and then returned a Oerdict
of Manslaughter. whereon the Coroner issued his war-
rant for the conveyance of Rodgers to York, to take
his trial at the ensuing Assizes,

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Continued from our Afternoon Editton.)
(Before Vice-C:tancelior KNIGH B T .RUCE.)
CLARK e. WILMOT AND OTHERS.
The object of the bill filed in this cause was to have
a foreclosure of a mortgage, which had been created in
favouriof a person represented by the plaintiff on a house
in Clerkenwell, in the county of Middlesex. The mort-
gage was created for a term of 1,000 years, and for. the
purpose of securing a sum of 3001.
The defendants claimed an interest in the premises
in the nature of an equitable lien, and prayed an in-
quiry into their claim.
His HoNourt referred it to the Master to inquire
whether the whole or part of the 5001. consideration
for the plaintiff's mortgage was ever paid, and when and
how, and whether any part of the consideration money
was kept back, and under what circumstances; also whe-
ther William Wright, one of the defendants, had in any
mode an equitable lien upon the estate, and if so, when
and how acquired ; with liberty to the Master to state
special circumstances.
Against the other defendants the bill was dismissed ;
his Honour reserving the question as to by whom the
costs should be ultimately borne.
The Court rose at a few minutes before four o'clock.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—It is not often that the Tories are ac-
cused of refusing to pay the price of political services,
and, indeed, they have rather been considered in the
light of unscrupulous dealers, who are ready to
purchase, without asking questions, anything that
seems likely to be of the smallest use to them. The
Conservative party has always kept a species of "fence,"
where people who are not over particular may dispose
of wornrout consciences, and coats that have been
once or twice turned ; where, in fact, not merely the
greater lights of politics, but the very candle-ends and
rusblight pieces are eagerly received, and the "highest
prices given," for the purpose of securing them. It,
however, very often happens that those who take their
commodities to the Tory market are surprised at finding,
that on coming to weigh them, in order to ascertain the
mount to be received, they are much lighter in the
scales of the purchaser than the vender could possibly
have supposed ; for the Conservative traders, like the
ordinary dealers in marine stores, have a distinct
set of weights and measures by which they esti-
mate whatever they are going to buy, and which are
considerably above the ordinary standard. A party
tool, therefore, which is offered for the value of the
brass it contains, seldom weighs nearly so much in the
buyer's as it does in the seller's scale, and the latter
has often cause to grumble at the insufficiency of the
price that is tendered him. It was to be supposed,
that after a long suspension of business on the part of
Peel and Company, the re-opening of the concern
for the purchase of miscellaneous articles would
crea'e a considerable rush of persons who have
long been waiting the opportunity to dispose of their
commodities. The result is, that after so long an ac-
cumulation of unsold rubbish, there is now a perfect
glut of it ; and lumps of brass, bits of lead, habits so
long discarded that they never can be resumed, with
Tory tag-rag of every description, come pouring in
upon Sir Robei t Peel with so much rapidity, that it is
impossible he can take in all the trash that is eagerly
brought to him. Some must necessarily be dismissed
with their ware?, and these will naturally go away growl-
ing at the unfairness of a selection which has excluded
them from a share in its benefits.
STANDARD.—Mr. Warren is admitted on all
sides to hold rank amongst the most distinguished law-
yers at the Irish bar ; indeed, taking the test of Sala-
mis, we should say that he must hold the very highest
place, for every one places him second to some par-
ticular favourite of his own. He is a gentleman
of decided principles in religion and politics, one
who has taken an active and laborious part in
the Christian education of the Irish peasantry, and,
to put the seal upon his claims, he is denounced as
a Protestant bigot by Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It is
impossible that any Protestant Conservative can sur-
mise an objecticn to such a man. But though Mr.
Warren may not be " loved less," others it ap-
pears " are loved more." Mr. West's or Mr. Lit-
ton's Parliamentary claims ought, in the opinion
of some, to be preferred before the claims of Mr.
Warren, which are merely personal and profes-
sional. Would this be fair to the individual? Would
it be just to the public ? Assuming the profes-
sional claims of the three gentlemen to be equal—and
no superiority is claimed for either of the others
over Mr. Warren, that gentleman has one, and what
in this country would be considered a decisive advan-
tage over them—we see, by the Jrish law-list, that Mr.
Warren was called to the bar in Michaelmas Term,
1806 ; Mr. Litton (Easter), 1811 ; Mr. West
(Michaelmas), 1815. Long standing at the bar, as in
any other profession, if uuattended by eminence, proves
the reverse of merit ; but when a man has long occu-
pied the first rank in his profession, it is notjust to
him, not just to others, that his claim to
promotion from length of standing should be disre-
garded upon slight grounds. It is a wrong committed
upon the bar when such claims aro postponed to any
other. Mr. Warren, it is said, has not served his
enuatry in Parliament ; what then ?—he has served
his country not less effectually. 'The late Attorney-
General Ssurio, in his after lite the object of the un-
qualified admiration of the Irish Conservatives, never
sat in the Imperial Parliament ; and it would not be
lees for the honour of his memory if he had never sat
in the Irish Parliament, as Mr. O'Connell has preyed
by quotiens from his anti union speeches. Wt,y 5
not Mr. Warren as effectually serve his country "
outm may
Parliament as Mr. Sautin did ?

years, or on
marriage ; but it all of. his s‘adchildr_ene
should'die without attaining a vested interest therein,the
sameh
covenanted to pay 3001. more to the trustees upon
„lii
trusts. I'vlrs. Betts died, and her husband married al..,ialind;atteid
had a family by his second marriage, and by his
inn September,, called
the Greyhound Inn, and other benefits to his tour
chil-
dren, by the second marriage, and appointed Mr. Bowen
his executor, and a question arose between the trustees
of the settlement for the children of his first marriage,
and the executor and tkvisces under his will as to the
right of the trustees under the settlement to have
the benefit of the assignment made to them.
It app‘'are.3 from the evidence, that among the bonds and
securities ot the settlement, there was a promissory note
to Mr. Betts for loot signed by two persons named
French, and a bond feoni a person named Baynim, for
securing lOU to Mr. Betts with interest. Some time
after the settlement Mr. Morgan, one of the trustees,
who at that time held the securities, delivered to Betts
this note and bond, who received the money due thereon,
and laid it out on the purchase of the Greyhound Inn,
with other monies of his own. On the completion of t'Ae
purchase, the trustees applied to Betts to make good to
them the monies he had received on the securities, when
Betts proposed to give them a mortgage on the Greyhound
Inn, for the whole sum of 6001•althouoil the remainder of
that sum had been lost by
en
insolvency
of the parties,
and a solicitor was accAilingly directed to prepare the
draft of iiie intended mortgage, which he did, but it was

afterwards, at the request of Betts, agreed, in order to ,
save expense, that the solicitors of the trustees should
hold the ivu.,;trty for the:-.1, by way of
equitable de.ds accordingly rem-tined
with Messrs. James and Collins, the solicitors of the
trustees, until a dissolution of partnership took place be-
tween those gentlemen, when Betts came to their office,
and Mr. Collins, in his presence and at his request,
handed them over to Mr. Morgan, for the purpose of con-
tinuing the equitable mortgage. They remained in the
hands of Mr. Morgan until his death, when his
widow delivered them to Mr. Collins, to hold them
for such persons as might be entitled to them.
It appeared also that, when Mr. Morgan delivered the
two securities to Mr. Betts, the latter gave him an
acknowledgment in writing that the amount thereof had
been received by him, and that he had laid it out on the
purchase of the Greyhound Inn. The Learned Gentle-
man contended that under these circumstances the trus-
tees were,constituted equitable mortgagees on the pro-
perty for the sum of 600 L, and had a right to be made
legal mortgagees, or to have a sale of the property for
payment of the mortgage debt.
Mr. ADDIS, for the children by the second marriage,
contended that this was a voluntary compact, and ought
not to b 3 enforced against his clients.
Lord LANGDALE, after reciting the facts, said that
Betts, having actually received the sum of 2001. due on
the secureties, and signed an acknowledgment of haring
received it, he owned it appeared to him to affect Betts
with the trust which he himself created with respect to
this sum. It was in his hands, with full knowledge of
the trust created, and he could not, therefore, under the
circumstances, free the sums in his hands from the trust
se created, though voluntarily. What he did was to lay
them out in the purchase of the inn subject to the equit-
able mortgage ; but he did not think that would extend
further than to this sum. He thought, therefore, the
plaintiff was entitled to a mortgage for 200 L, and no
more, with consequent relief upon it. It was, no doubt,
very hard upon the parties ; but he could not take that
into consideration.
THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. CHRIST'S HOSPITAL,
A BINGDON.
Mr. PEmtenToN, with whom was Mr. BLUNT, stated
that this was an information against the Governors of
Christ's hospital, Abingdon, for leasing estates held by
them for the church, contrary to the statutes. It ap-
peared that from time to time various statutes had been
made for the regulation of the property, and that the
mode in which leases should be granted was prescribed
by the 3d James I. (1604). The Governors, however,
at some period unknown, had departed from this method,
and the estates had been for a long period granted upon
leases for 21 years at the old rent, and surrendered at
the expiration of 14 years, and a new lease granted for
21 years mere on payment of a fine.
Mr. KINDERSLEY stated that his clients, the Governors
of the Hospital, were only anxious to do the best they
could for the benefit of the charity, and were not awaro
of the statutes that had been cited. He would, there-
fore, request that the case might stand over, in order to
afford. them an opportunity of inquiry, whether these
statutes were revoked or affected by any subsequent ones.
Lord LANGDALE made a decree that the letting was
inconsistent with the statute of 1604, and ought to be
discontinued ; but said it might stand over for a week,
to sea if there were any ordinances made subsequently
that were inconsistent with it.
