I' ICE-CHANCELLOR' S COURT, April 24:

The Vice-Chancellor of England took unopposed peiitiens, short
causes and petitions to day, none of which possessed any interest.
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRIM.)
WILSON v. STANHGPE—DEISURREN.
This was a bill tiled by the plaintiff, a shareholder, on behalf of
the other shareholders of the London and Manchester Direct Inde-
pendent Railway (Remington's line), against the Directors and
Provisional Committee of that Company, and alleged that the
defendants have generally neglected the interests of the company. and
frustrated the objects of it in favour of the Direct Loudon and Man-
chester Railway (Rastrick's line), to which they handed over the
plans and sections prepared for the rival scheme ; and alleges fur-
ther, that this was done for a personal consideration ; and
that the deposits paid in on the Remington line
were laid out in the purchase of shares in the other company, with
a view to keeping up their price in the market, and adds some
minor details bearing upon these charges.
The cse e was heard on demurrer, on the part of the Hon. Mr.
Stanhope, one of the defendants, on whose behalf the demurrer was
argued en a point of equity, and on the question ,of parties, it was
contended that in case a partnership was to be wound up, it could
not be brought into Court but i■ presence of all parties concerned.
The COURT decided that the point in equity failed, and overruled
the demurrer ou the question of parties, without prejudice to any
question in the cause, and reserved costs.

SALVAGE.-THE CHARLES WILLIAM.

This was a case in which another American ship, valued
at nearly 5,0001., was in distress, and received assistance
from a pilot-boat while passing through Nichol's Gap, when
she was taken into Yarmouth. The salvors were the crew
of the Caroline fishing-smack, which sustained damage in
rendering aid, to the extent of 45/., and lost employment in
her usual avocation. A tender of 75/. had- been made and
refused. The action was entered for 700/. _ _

The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Jenuer, for the salvors,
considered the tender a paltry one, the ship being laden
with iron and steel, and leaky, and urged the Court to
give a more liberal reward to the owners and crew of the
Caroline.
Dr. Addams and Dr. J. Phillimore, for the owners, sub-
mitted that pilotage only had been performed, and conse-
quently the tender of 751. was sufficient for so slight a ser-
vice as had been rendered in this case.
The COURT went over the facts, and decided that the tender
was insufficient, and gave 105/. The Learned Judge held it
to be of the very first importance that every inducement
and encouragement should be given to salvors, who, as in
this case, abandoned their voyage, lucrative or not, as it
might be, to render aid to vessels in distress. The Court, at
the motion of the Queen's Advocate, apportioned the amount
to all parties interested.

gALVAGE.-THE EDWIN.

The value of the property saved in this case was 1,200/.
A tender of 301. was made and refused. The services were
rendered on the Ist of December last, off Harwich.

Dr. Addams appeared for the salvors, and considered the
tender, under all the circumstances, was not sufficient.
Dr. Bayford, for the owners, argued that the tender was
sufficient, and prayed the Court to pronounce accordingly.
The Learned JUDGE went over the facts of the case, and
pronounced in favour of the tender, which was sufficient&
Costs were not given.

THE NEEDLE TRADE, REDDITCH.T-The needle trade,
for which this place is so celebrated, has been, and is now, n
a very distressed state—many of the manufacturers have had
but few orders since Christmas. Worcester Chronicle.
There is no doubt but such is the fact, but it may be as well
to state that this important branch of trade is not removed
from England, as many persons have feared, but, by reason
of the singular advantages possessed by the aikegina "
patent,
nearly the whole of the manufacture of needles has
been tranferred to Deptford, i'n Kent, which place is likely to
become as famous for needle-making as was once that of
Redditch. By returns made by Mr. Kirby, the patentee, of
Newgate-street, it would appear that the quantity of needles
made by this new proccess is upwards of seventy.five thou-
sand per diem, and that this number can, if requisite, bs in-
creased more than tenfold without any enlargement of the
machinery.
PARLIAMENTARY PIIRLOUGITS.—SeveraI Members of
Parliament have availed themselves of the debate on the corn-laws
for the purpose of travelling. One Hon. Gentleman, who has a taste
for military adventures, has gone over to India, having left direc-

JUST V. EAST.

This case, which was one chiefly of accounts came on this
morning for judgment and further directions. -Tjae Master's
report found a large amount due for capitarandlnteresufrom
the executor to the estate of the plaintiff, whoychttained
his majority in 1832. The Court proceeded through, bite de-
tails,
remarking on them at great length, and in
the main confirming the finding of the 'Master, but
disallowed the claim: for interest on the balance' calculated
from 1826, one year after the death of the testator, holding
the executor liable to be charged with interest only since
the time of the heir attaining his majority. There
were three items of 4001., 1,1501. and 1,0001., which
particularly engaged the attention of the Court
in delivering judgment. They all appearLd against
the executor in the Master's report Abut fur the 4001. a
promissory note had been put interthElhands.of the plaintiff
on his attaining the age of 21, in 1832; and, since then, up
to 1842, he had used no effort to realise the proceeds. The
Court, under these circumstances. could not holdahetexecu-
tor liable unless it were proved that the note could never
have been liquidated. On the 1,150/. no interest could
be allowed, for it was the debt of the deceased co-executor. The
defendant always believed the 1,0001. secur, d by a mortgage,
but whether a mortgage existed at all did not appear in evi-
dence, he was, therefore, chargeable with that sumlsnd the
Court ordered a reference to the Master, to inquiminto that
debt, with liberty the defendant to take proceedings to get
in this sum of 1,0001. due to flee plaintiff's estate.
PARR V. GYLBY.

Mr. LEE said the case was between a husband, the plain-
,whc, sued in forma' pauperis, and his wife, who was pos-
essed of considerable property. The details that would have
to be disclosed were of the most painful character, and on
that account he made a proposal before at the bar with a
view to closing the suit, on which he had been consulted
'nit very lately, but he was met with defiance. After
vain considering the character of the disclosures that would
have to be made, and the little hope there was of obtaining
e decree favourable to his client, be had unwillingly deter-
mined to decline opening the case in consideration of the
parties concerned on the other side, and in this his coadjutor
in the cause agreed with hitn.--The Bill therefore was dis-
missed.

HOSPITAL.

The Lord Mayor laid before the Court a corre-
spondence upon the subject, of the dispute between the
Lord Mayor and the Governors of Christ's Hospital,
from which it appeared that the latter have made ample
concessions on the point of the Spital sermons at Christ's
Hospital. His Lordship had determined, in consequence
of the refusal of the Governors of Christ's Hospital to
recognise his authority in the appointment of a preacher
of the Spital sermons on Easter Monday and Easter
Tuesday, at that institution, to cause the Spital sermons
to be preached at the parish church of St. Bride's, and
had issued summonses accordingly. Such a proceeding
upon the part of the chief magistrate, who manifested
throughout the whole affair a disposition not to abate
one jot of the privileges or dignity of the mayoralty, had,
it would appear, a very considerable effect upon the
Governors of Christ's Hospital, for it was announced in
the Court that, in all probability, all differences of
opinion between the corporation acd Christ's Hospital
were at an end.

A letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury was read.
It expressed much regret that any opposition of senti-
ments should exist between the Corporation and the in-
stitution of Christ's Hospital, and very plainly indicated
the venerable Prelate's opinion that the course pursued
by the Lord Mayor was sanctioned by custom.
The Court ultimately came to the resolution of making
the following arrangement, in consequence of the com-
munications received since the last day of meeting from
the ordinary authorities of Christ's Hospital, viz. :
that the first Spital sermon should be preached on
Easter Monday at St. Bride's Church, and that the second
Spital sermon should be preached on Tuesday at Christ
Church,

Thus the extraordinary scene which was anticipated
of a decided authority as to the preaching of the sermons
has been avoided.

The Bishop of St. David's is to preach the morning
sermons in the two churches, and the Rev. Charles Fare •
brother, the chaplain to the Lord Mayor, is to preach
the evening sermons. It is necessary to state that a
respectful form in the hospital's report, which was
meant to hare been omitted when the dispute was at its
height, is to be introduced, and appear in its accustomed
terms.

The Court expressed much gratification at the very
firm and resolute manner in which his lordship asserted
the privileges of his fellow-citizens, and the Court ad-
journed.

recollected that, according to the provisions of the new
Good Conduct IVarrant, i:•;ticti to all the regimen's in

men acting as servants to offic, rs were in a great degree
excluded from the benefits arising therefrom, 1. e. •a.
longer pericd of service (two years) was required of
them. The injustice of the regulation was represented
to tile military sorb°, who have since most con-

the objectionable clauses ; and makes other desirable
alterations !

style of Ed4ard M., with representations of the Roman
soldiers asleep, and other appropriate imagery.
The Good Friday ceremonies we have described were
neglected in the Church of England after the Reforma-
tion. As late, however, as the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
the rcllowing charge occurs in the churchwarden's "Ac-
compts of the parish of St. Abingdon:—"Paid
to the bcllman for meat, drink, and coals, watchng
the sepulchre•, 19d." The anniversary of the erucifrxion
is now observed in this country, in most places, by the
suspension of all husinese, the closing of *hops, and a
solemn service in the churches. many of which are hung'
with black, and every ornatrent is removed from their
altars. Some members of the English church abstain,
on this sacred fast, from any kind of animal food, even
from cream to tea ; such: we are informed by Boswell
was the custom of Dr. Johnson, Divine service is well
attended, and it is consi6red prOper to appear at church
in " sad-coloured" clothes.
