in confusion at Port-au-Prince.— (American

KENT SPRING Assurs.—The Lent Assizes for
this County commenced at Maidstone yesterday,
before the Loan CHIEF BARON on the Civil side,
and the lion. Mr. Baron GNAIIAM ou the Crown
side. We are happy to state that the LORD
CHIEF Baron, though considerably affected by
his late spasmodic attack, is so much recovered
as to be able to resume his judicial duties. The
Assizes are expected to occupy the whole week,
i►► consequence of the pressure of business in
both Courts. On the Civil side there are 34
causes entered for trial, many of which are heavy :
of this number 14 are appointed to be tried by
Special Juries. In the Crown Court the calendar
contains upwards of 90 commitments.

Rouncay OF Sin CHARLES POLE.—On Satur-
day evening, between five and six o'clock, as the
above-mentioned Gentleman was going into his
residence in Harley-street, he was attacked
by two men, one of whom robbed him of his gold
chain and seals. Most fortunately at the time
the servant was at the door, and immediately
ran after the villain who made the attack,
and being joined by a man, seized the robber.
Within a few yards the gold seals were picked
up. The prisoner underwent au examination.
yesterday at the Marylebone Police Office, and
the charge of highway robbery being clearly
proved against him, he was fully committed to
Newgate for trial. He turns out to be a noto-
rious and well known character, named Richard
Griggs. His companion effected his escape.

QUEENSBERRY ESTATES. --- The public are
aware of the different decisions which have set
aside the almost interminable leases, which had,
for certain grassums or fines, been' granted to the
tenants of the late Duke of QUEENSBERRY'S
estates. The cases having been remitted to the
Court of Session to adjust matters on this footing,
that Court have determined that the Duke's
executors are not entitled to violent profits from
the death of his Grace, but only from the year
1819 (the date, we believe, of the first decisions
in their favour). The executors have appealed
against this judgment to the House of Lords.

The Rev. Dr. ROBERT HALDANE, Principal of
St. Mary's College, St. Andrew's, has been unanimously elect-
ed Rector of the University there.

miles in 24 hours, was completed at 20 minutes before 1 o'clock,
yekterday morning. Our report of yesterday left Mr. Abel
Smith at a quarter past eleven o'clock, when be had performed
half the distance in ten hours and a quarter. He baited the
horse or galloway, refreshed himself, and sdirted again at
twelve o'clock, having the other half to perform at the rate of
more than four miles and three quarters an hour. He did
the first of the ten miles in an hour and a half, washed the
mouth of the horse, and performed the next ten miles in rather
less time. The equestrian became fatigued, and he went to
hed for an hour and a half, and started agatn at five o'clock to
do the remaining forty-two miles and a half. He did the 20
miles in three hours, halted an hour, and started at nine o'clock
much fatigued, but the horse was fresh, and performed the
remaining twenty-two miles and a half at forty minutes past
twelve o'clock, winning the match by twenty minutes.
