IN THE MATTER OF GUY.—NISCONDUCT OF AN
ATTORNEY.
Mr. MARTIN applied for a rule, calling upon an at- Apr
torney whose name, he stated, was Guy, to show cause
why he should not pay to a Mr. Boustead, or his attor-
ney, the sum of 461. 10., The applicant was the exe-
cutor of his brother, who died in July last. He applied
to the attorney to take out probate, and paid to him, at
his request, the above-named sum, in order to
enable him to (O so. It was originally inten-
ded to have taken out probate in the Court of the
Bishop of Carlisle, but he stated that by taking it out

assented. Owing to the great delay that took place the
suspicions of Mr. Boustead were aroused, and it was
found, on inquiry, that no steps whatever had been taken
in the matter. Many letters had passed between the
parties, in which the person complained of had sought
further time.
The COURT acceded fo the application.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT-OARED CUTTER
MATCH.—The great aquatic struggle between two
crews selected from the cutter cubs of the universitieso
of Oxford and Cambridge, and which invariably ex-
cites great speculative interest among the sons otAlma
Mater and the amateur Waterman of the Thames, will
not take place this year. Various reasons are as
signed for the match not coming off, but it is expected
that the rival crews will contend either at the Thames
or Henley regatta.
BALLOON ASCENT..-- On Tuesday afternoon, be-
tween four and five o'clock, a balloon was observed
wending its way, at au immense altitude, towards this
town. and travelling in an easterly direction; the re-
flection of the sun upon the silk giving it the appearance
of a stupendous golden ball suspended in mid-air, and
producing a nitif,nificent effect. The voyagers, it ap-
pears, started from London, and the ascent was a private
and experimental one, the inflation of the balloon, called
the " :sylph," having taken place at the Independent
Gas-works, at Haggerston. The aeronaut whose name
is associated with this enterprise, and who conductedit,
we hear, in a most scientific and masterly manner, is
Mr.
Henry Coxwell, a well-known traverser of the skies, and
the editor of the Aerostatic Magazine, his sole companion
on the occasion being Mr. George Sharp, a gentleman
who has made several ascents, and who is particularly
enthusiastic in the science of arostation. They describe
their journey as one of the grandest and most inter-
esting they ever made. Mr. Coxwell, finding that
the wind would limit their distance to the county
of Essex, determined to ascend to as great a
height as possible, and enjoy a view of the clear sky,
with the clouds rolling far below the aerial chariot.
He accordingly made three successive ascents and
descents, the last of which was characterised by an alti-
tude of upwards of three miles. Here the aeronauts
became exceedingly cold, and lost all view of the earth,
whilst a perfect ocean of clouds seemed to float about
two miles beneath them. Approaching Maldon, after
the Sylph had lowered some six thousand feet, the ap-
pearance of the Blackwater river suggested the propriety
of a termination of the trip; Mr. Coxwell, therefore,
fell in with the lower current of air, and floated on till
a favourable place of descent presented itself at Messing,
where the Sylph gently alighted on a lawn in front of a
gentleman's residence. Mr. Coxwell there made, to the
extreme gratification of the excited country people,
several partial ascents, and having finally emptied the
balloon, proceeded to Kelvedon. We hear that Mr.
Coxwell contemplates an ascent from Chelmsford or
Colchester.—Chelnisford Chronicle.
REMOVAL or ALIENS BlLL.—Considerable misap-
prehension has, we believe, arisen in the minds of
foreigners residing in this country, as to the intended
operation of the " Removal of Aliens Bill," introduced
into the House of Lords on Monday last by the Marquis
of Lansdowne. The object of the proposed measure is
simply to give to the Secretary of State and the Lord
Lieutenant the power to remove from the United King-
dom, by warrant under their hands respectively, aliens
of disreputable character, whose presence and conduct
may be deemed dangerous to the peace and social order
of these realms. Under the sixth clause of this Bill it
is provided that foreigners who have been domiciled and
settled in this country for the last seven years cannot in
any way he affected by the Act.
NEW BOAT FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES.—His
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is about to be
initiated in the fine manly and truly healthful exercise
of rowing, and a new and beautiful single sculling boat
is now being constructed for his Royal Highness on the
latest and most improved principles, by the Messrs.
Searle, her Mujesty's boat-builders, of Stangate-street,
near Westminster- bridge. The skirt is a complete model
of the boats used by gentlemen on the Thames, and as a
specimen of workmanship is perhaps unequalled. It is
twenty feet in length, of proportionate breadth, and is
built of the finest bird's•eye maple, with mahogany
linings, sax-boards, and thwarts. The spaces between
the timbers are filled with a peculiar lining, not of cork,
but of a material said to be considerably more buoyant,
the inve_ntion of Captain Light, for the purpose of ren-
dering it more secure, in fact a perfect life- boat in
miniature. The cushion on which his Royal Highness
will sit to pull his sculls is also stuffed with this mate-
rial, and which it is affirmed will prevent the utter porsi-
bility of the little craft sinking. The minor appoint-
ments are most ingeniously designed, and of the most
tasteful and elegant description, and in perfect keeping
with the general appearance of the boat, which has been
inspected at Messrs. Searle's upper premies near Lam-
beth Palace, by most of the members of the Oxford
and Cambridge, and other crack aquatic clubs, who have
expressed their admiration of its perfect build and
equipments. It is understood that it is intended as a
present to his Royal Highness from the Institution of
Civil Engineers, Great George-street, Westminster, or
one of the members of that society.
THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE REV. MR.
SILORE.—A public meeting of the friends of religious
liberty was held last night, in Exeter Hall, to hear from
the Rev. J. Shore, of Berry Pomeroy, a narrative of the
proceedings taken against him by his diocesan, the
Bishop of Exeter. The spacious hall was densely
crowded in every part. On the platform were the Hon.
Arthur Kinnaird, the Revs. Thomas Mortimer, T.
Evans, Dr. Jenkyn, lir. Massie, Rev. J. Bakewell, J.
Thomson, Watson, J. Smith, and about two hundred
Binney, Ebenezer Davis, Dr. Morison, Dr. A. Thomson,
Anslie, James Sharman, Dr. Henderson, Dr. Cook
other ministers and gentlemen. The Hon. A. Kinnaird
occupied the chair; and the meeting was addressed at
considerable length by Mr. Shore, and by several other
Reverend Gentlemen. The circumstance of the case,
between the Bishop of Exeter and the Rev. Mr. Shore,
which occupied exclusively the attention of the meeting,
are already familiar to our readers. Several resolutions
were adopted; and also a petition to Parliament,
praying for such alterations of the law as would pre-
' vent any recurrence of such a course as that followed by
the Bishop on this occasion.
EXECUTION OF DAVIES FOR THE MURDER OF
urs W Ml.—Yesterday (Friday) being the day appointed
for the execution of Mathew Davies, convicted at the
last assizes, of having murdered his wife, Mary Davies,
at Birmingham, on the 13th of October last, the town at
an early hour began to present a bustling appearance,
caused by the arrival of numerous parties from the towns
and villages in the neighbourhood. As the hour fixed
for the execution approached, the front and precincts of
the gaol became crowded to excess. About five minutes
before twelve, the bell commenced tolling, and a few
minutes after that hour struck by the clock of St. Mary's,
the melancholy procession made its appearance, attended
by Mr. Whately, the Under Sheriff; the Rev. Mr. Lang-
harne, chaplain of the gaol; Mr. Henry Adkins, the
Governor, and other officials. The unhappy man was
placed underneath the beam, when the halter was adjusted
round his neck, without his displaying the slightest
emotion. The cap was then drawn over his face, and
in two minutes after his coming on tho platform, the bolt
was withdrawn, and the culprit was plunged into eternity.
After hanging the usual time, the body was taken down
and removed into the gaol, within the precincts of which
it was interred the same evening.
TUE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM- SHlP.—Thursday
the general stores and furniture of the ill-fated Great
Britain steamer were brought to the hammer at Liver-
pool. The sale appeared to excite considerable interest,
the room, from the commencement of the sale, being
much crowded with purchasers and others. It may be
of some inters st to give the particulars of the stores for
this celebrated ship. We therefore notice a few of them.
The furniture of the cabins and berths included 228 hair
mattresses, 406 feather pillows, 580 blankets, 970 linen
sheets, 344 counterpanes, 1,556 towols, 513 bed curtains,
791 pillow cases, 801 dusters and glass cloths, 15 a table
cloths, 23 sofa cushions, 85 painted chests of drawers,
116 dressing glasses, 88 painted boxes, besides several
ranges of oak dining-tables, forms, carpeting, matting,
and chamber services. The china, glass, and culinary
articles consisted of an immense quantity of decanters
and glasses of various descriptions, table, breakfast, and
tea services, a huge lot of large copper steam-cooking
apparatus, besides a countless number of other miscel-
laneous articles. Notwithstanding the great number of
articles offered, they did not form the whole of the
stores, but only that portion which was secured after the
noble ship met with her unfortunate disaster inDfuonrd ruin
