good one. You are not the defendant they refer to.
Applicant—How is that, when they continue to serve

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—WeII, until they do affect you, I
would advise you to treat them with the utmost contempt:—
(Laughter.)
To the jury—Gentlemen, this action is against another
person, who is seen to accept the bill. The witness is
asked if this applicant is the person referred to, and he says
that he is-not.

Applicant—They have served my clerk with a writ, and
have solemnly sworn that I am the person mentioned in
that writ.

A verdict for the plaintiff was returned—Damages, 25L
The applicant tl.en left the Court, consoled in his retreat
by several apparently sincere assurances from some legal
gentlemen that lie would be taken in execution, instead of
the real defendant, if he did not speedily employ legal as-
sistance.

COURSING.
HAMPTON COURT MEETING.
The LoUghborough Stakes (8 dogs) were won by Mr.
Phillips's Victorine, and the Erskine Stakes by Mr. Baker's
Alice.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE MEETING.
The Sweepstakes for 16 dogs were won by Mr. G. Peve-
rell's The Case is Altered; Mr. G. Norton's The Maid of the
Mill ran up.

THE ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.—The original
Ethiopian serenaders, Messrs. Germon, Stanwood, Harring-
ton. Pell and White, have just arrived in London from the
United Stares, and, under the direction of Mr. Dumbolton,
they will give their first public concert, at the Hanover- square
Rooms, on Wednesday evening next. A correspondent, on
whose judgment we can depend, assures us that the forthcom-
ing concert will prove a novel and charming musical enter-
tainment. The Ethiopian Serenaders have travelled several
times throughout the whole United States, and have been
most enthusiastically welcomed at all their concerts.
SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—An organ perform-
ance is announced to take plike on Friday next. Mr.
Adams will exhibit the powers of the instrument on the oc-
casion.

Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., the mover of the
Address in the House of Commons, arrived at his mansion in
Belgrave-square, on Saturday last, from Worsley Hall, Lan-
cashire. Lady Francis Egerton and family are to arrive in
town on Wednesday, for the season.
THE ORDER OF THE GARTER —Since Sir Robert
Peel came into office no less than eight garters have been
placed in his gift, which have been conferred on the Duke
of Buckingham, the Duke of Beaufort, the Marquis of Salis-
bury, Earl Talbot, the Earl of Powis, Earl de Grey, the Mar-
quis of Abercorn, and the Marquis of Hertford.-
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. —Though premature,
nevertheless we can state, on good authority, that the fol-
lowing moves will take place early in the spring :-10th
Hussars, for foreign" service the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon
Guards, from Edinburgh to York ; the 11th Hussars, from
Newbridge to Edinburgh ; the 3d Prince of Wales' Dragoon
Guards, from Ballincollig to Manchester ; the Ist Royal
Dragoons to Ballincollig ; the 10th Light Dragoons, from
Cahir to Dublin. Of course nothing is certain until the
orders are issued from the Hore Guards ; nevertheless these
moves can, to a very great degree, and next to the actual
order itself be relied on. Report says the 6th Caribineers are
to have lances instead of carbines, which will be a great im-
provement. The 6th Inniskillen Dragoons embark in the
spring for Ireland, either for Cahir or Dundalk. We should
give preference to the latter.—From a Corespondent.
The Duchess of Buccleuch and family have arrived
at Montagu House, Whitehall, from Dalkeith Palace, near
Edinburgh, for the season. The Duchess has come to town
earlier than usual, having to attend on her Majesty at the
opening of Parliament, as Mistress of the Robes.
The Right Hon. Sir John Beckett, Bart., is
labouring under severe indisposition.
On Wednesday Lord Polwarth took the oaths,
before the Lord Justice-General, as Lord-Lieutenant of Sel-
kirkshire, in room of the late Lord Montague.—Scotsman.
THE CITY PATRONAGES.—On Wednesday, agree-
ably to a resolution of the Edinburgh Town Council, which
was duly advertised, the patronages of the parishes of Currie
and Wemyss, and the half-patronage of Fala, were offered
for sale by public auction in the Council Chamber. The
two former were put up at 7001. each, and Fala at 250/. ; but
although there were a good number of gentlemen present, no
ens offered the upset prices, and the sale was in consequence
adjourned sine die.—Scotsman.
ARTISTS AMATEUR THEATRICALS.—It has been
decided upon that a body of artists should perform at
St. James's Theatre, on Tuesday week, in aid of the funds of
the " Artists' General Benevolent Institution," a society
formed for the purpose of dispensing aid to the distressed ar-
tists generally.
THE FUNERAL OF MR. ISAAC COHEN.—The
funeral of this gentleman was attended by a great number
of his former friends. It is stated that he has left, by his
will, 15,000/. to the various charities in the metropolis;
3,0001. to the Jewish school, and 3,0001. to the Synagogue to
which he immediately belonged.
The Bishop of Lichfield has consented to ordain
such pious laymen as shall have laboured two years satisfac-
torily in the capacity of district visitor or scripture reader,
under the direction of an incumbent of a parish. The Bishop
of Winchester, it is said, has adopted a similar plan.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.—The annual
ball, appointed to take place on Wednesday next, for the
.benefit of this Institution, will, it is confidently anticipated,
be numerously and brilliantly attended. The Lord Mayor
and the Lady Mayoress, together with the Sheriffs and their
ladies, have had invitations transmitted to them. His
Lordship has honoured the Governor and Committee with an
answer, regretting that a prior engagement will prevent his
attendance and that of the Lady Mayoress. The arrange-
ments being made by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, the pro-
prietors of the London Tavern, for the comfort of the com-
pany, are of the most complete description, and cannot fail
to aford the patrons of the Institution a fitting opportunity
I for the enjoyment of an evening of pleasurable recreation
in aid of the cause of philanthropy.—Advertiser.
F.,•HZEIGN The following notice has been
posted it the lobbies of the Custom-house, in Thames-street,
and at the e:veral dock establishments, and other places of
commercial i",liffic on the banks of the river, and copies fur-
nished to the p,siocipal officers of the revenue at all the out-
ports of the kingNni with directions to cause the same to
be posted in and abo:tt% the Custom-house and other conspi-
cuous places in their re. el ports, for the information
and future government of importers and all parties con-
cerned :—" Custom-house, I. oi:don, January, 1846. Whereas,
a difference prevails at certain ports in the United King-
dom in the mode of admeasuring foreign nuts on importa-
tion, and it has been deemed exp,scilent that one uniform
mode of admeasurement of such nuts elould be established,
the Commissioners of her Majesty's Cusp do hereby give
notice, that from and after the Ist day ;X March next, all
I foreign nuts imported in bulk will be required to be measured
either by the imperial bushel, heaped to a cone, or by A barrel
containing three of such coned bushels only. By order of the
Commissioners. (Signed) "C. SEWELL, Secretary."
SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY.—A man, named Day,
was on Tuesday committed by the magistrates of Worcester,
charged with dangerously assaulting William Mann, one of
Lord Sandy's gamekeepers, at Ombersley. The keeper de-
tected Day and two companions setting snares on the Bth of
November last, and when they saw him watching Them they
commenced an attack with thick sticks, and left Manz; lying
senseless-in the wood, with severe wounds on his head. One
of the men has been since convicted of felony, and is now
undergoing imprisonment, and when his term of punishment
ends lie will also be tried for the muiderous assault.
DISASTROUS FIRE.—One of the finest collections of
historical portraits in France, that of the Marquis de Bien-
court, has just been partly destroyed by a fire, which broke
out in his hotel, Rue de Champs-Elysées. It would appear
to have originated in his study, and to have communicated
to the bed-room and the library. The latter suffered consi-
derably. Some fine autograph letters were saved, but a great
part of the pictures were destroyed. Amongst them was a
portrait of Michael Angelo, painted by himself; one- of
Erasmus, painted by Holbien • several Mig Dards - three fine
Philip de Champaignes ;
LouisLouisXlV. on horseback by Van-
dermeulen ; and portaits of Moliere, Racine, and Boileau,
painted in their own time. There'were also other picturesi of
value :—A Young Girl, by Greuse ; a Holy Family, by
nard ; Two Interiors, by Bourbon ; several pictures by
Brau-
wer,i &c. Fortunately about 200 pictures were saved.
SUPPOSED SUICIDE FROM WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.
—On Saturday morning, as a man named Dadd was passing
along the steam-beat pier at Westminster-bridge, he disco-
vered the body of a man lying in the mud near the second
arch of the bridge. Having obtained assistance, the body
was got ashore, and taken to the vaults of St. John's Church,
Waterloo. road. Upon making an inspection of the body,
Mr. Anderson, the Coroner's officer, found that the throat of
the unfortunate individual had been previously cut,
thereby
leaving little doubt that he had, on some former occasion,
made an attempt upon his life. Nothing whatever was found
upon his person to lead to his identity, unless it was a red
scarf he had round his throat.
EXAMINATION OF ARTICLED CLERKS.--This
exa-
:nination will take place on Thursday, the 22d inst., and the
Master of the Rolls has appointed Wednesday, the 28th inst.,
to swear in and admit the candidates on the roll of solicitors.
By new 0. rrangements the examiners' certificates will be de-
livered on L'ins 24th, consequently there will be several days
fiats, and perfect the common law ad-
to obtain the jiid,gele
missions.
THU GLASS PUTIES.—The Customs authorities,
having bad under aensideration their minute of July last,
directing that flint Ott-glass, flint coloured glass, and fancy
ornamental glass, liable
i.
to the higher rate of duty, should be
passed by the officers of taw
revenue upon importation into
this country, on a partial
