VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
NO ARREARS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.
BROGDEN V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case eanie before his Honour Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce upon exceptions to the report of Master
Dowdeswell, who had found, upon a reference to him by
Vice-Chancellor Wigram, that the portion of the North
Kent line, for which Mr. Brogden was contractor, was
in a state fit for public traffic at twelve o'clock at noon,
on Saturday, the 21st July, 1849. Should the finding
of the laster be sustained, the company will have to
pay Mr. Brogden 5 0001. tor expedition money.
Mr. Malins and Mr. Bailey appeared in support of
the exceptions on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway
Company; the Attorney-General, Mr. Page Wood, and
Mr. Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, in support of the
Master's finding.
In th. course of the opening of the exceptions,
The VicE.CHANCELLOR said—Mr. Attorney-General,
I b-lieve that althuugh this is Friday, and we are taking
exceptions and farther directions, under the new arrange-
ment, yet lam hearing this in due course; and that in
point of fact without that arrangement this case would
now be in hearing.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, Sir.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I see this is an exception to
a report, which report was not made until the 4th of
June in last year. How can there be any arrears? If
this exception to a report made on the 4th of June, 1850,
is coming on now in its dee course, there can be no

arrears.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—They may have arisen
since.
The VICS-CHANCELLOR—They are not arrears. A
numb'r of cises and the exi3tence of arrears is a totally
different thing. At present there is no arrear.
The Arraurtzt-GENERAL—It is rather an apprehen•
sion that there will b...
The VICE •CHANCELLOIt—There is at present cer-
tsinly &mar.
(The arguments were proceeding when our report left.)

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings; in Banco.)
• DOE DEN, BAINBRIDGE V. BAINBRIDGE.
This important wilt case came on for argument. The
issue is dirottql by the Master of the Rolls fur an action
brought to set aside a will made in 1818 by the late
Thomas Bainbrigge, Esq., of Woodseat, Stsffordshire, on
the ground of insanity. The plaintiffs are Major-Ge-
neral Bainbrigge and the other nephews of the testator,
and the detendant is John Arnold Bainbrigge, who
claims under the will. The trial took place at the last
Stafford assizes. and occupied five- days. The verdict
was for the plaintiff. The facts of the case have been
frequently published. Mr. Keating in the course of last
term obtained a rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to
show cause why a new trial should not be granted.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now appeared to show
Cause. . .

The reading of the judge's notes occupied the whole
thy, and the Learned Counsel had not commenced his
argument when the Court rose.

Several jurors highly lauded the gallant old sol-
dier, whose feelings were so overpowered that Mr.
Davis, the summoning officer, had to help him out of the
court.
Mr. Jones, surgeon, was called to visit dece-sed on
Sunday morning, She complained of pains all over her.
He administered stimulants, after taking which she
fainted, anu died in eight minutes. He performed a
post mortem examination. The body wal bloodless and
emaciated. She died of disease of the heart, and not or
poison, as might have been supposed.
CORONZE—The surgeon's evidence settles the ques-
tion. It was my opinion, upon looking at the body, and
after hearing a portion of the evidence, that deceased
died of poison, which opinion was strengthened by
certain reports spread regarding the house in which
deceased died. But lam now satisfied that she died
from natural causes, and that she met with no foul play.
The jury fully concurred with the coroner, and re-
turned a verdict of Natural Death.

RETURN OF THE ATLANTIC STEAMER.
(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
We regret to state that the United States mail
steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, met with an
accident during the heavy gales which she encoun:.
tered on her outward passage, which necessitated
her return to Cork. Most of our readers will
be aware that the Atlantic left Liverpool on the
28th ult., at 4 P.M. She proceeded against unusu-
ally heavy westerly gales until the 6th of January 5
the ship behaving admirably, and the engines appear-
ing to be in fair order. At 630 of the 6th inst.,
the engines were stopped, and it was found that
the centre beam or shaft was broken. This oc-
curred in lat. 46.12, long. ;41.30. Captain West
continued to proceed to the westward against heavy
westerly gales till the 11th January 11 P.M., in-
tending to run for Halifax, but finding the gale in-
creasing, and the ship making but little head-way,
after ascertaining the wishes of the passengers, he
determined to put the ship about, and run for Cork,
which port was made on Wednesday last, at
eight, P.M. The vessel is in good order, and
the steward's department amply supplied. The
news reached Liverpool last night, by the en-
gineer and purser of the vessel, who, with some of the
passengers, crossed from Dublin to Holyhead yes-
terday morning. As no steamer will leave Liver-
pool for America before to-morrow week, the intelli-
gence of the safety of the Atlantic, and all those on
board, will not reach New York until a month after
her expected arrival, when probably all hopes as to
her safety will have disappeared.
We were favoured, by one of the passengers, with
a copy of the following resolutions :
Off Cork, Jan. 22, 1851.
At a meeting of the passengers on board the U. S.
mail steamer Atlantic, James S. Wadsworth, Esq., of
New York, being called to the chair, and J. H. Potten-
ger, of Maryland, appointed secretary, Henry Benja-
min, of New York, C. B. Reece, of Pa., and Law-
rence, of Mass, were appointed a committee to draft
resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, in
view of the circumstancces which have compelled the
vessel to return.
"Resolved—That we feel it due to Captain James
West to acknowledge our gratitude to him for his un-
wearied care and devotion to his duty under circum-
stances of great responsibility (he having been deprived,
in a great measure, of the valuable and efficient services
of his first officer, Mr. Shufeldt, by temporary illness),
in taking the ship into port, as well as fur the great at-
tention and courtesy with which he laboured to promote
the happiness and comfort of those under his charge.
" Resolved—That we feel it likewise due to the pro-
prietors of the ship to bear testimony to the great
strength and power with which she contended for nine
days against an almost uninterrupted westerly gale of
great severity, as well as to the admirable conduct of
the vessel under sails, when suddenly deprived of her
motive power, by the breaking of the main shaft, having
then made 1,800 miles on her western voyage.
" Resolved—That it was the unanimous request of
the passengers that the ship should seek an easterly
port. as it was tound, after a trial of five days, that, en-
cumbered as she was with disabled machinery, abe could
not contend against the westerly winds which then pre-
vailed."

—"Resolved—That it is also due to Mr. Rogers, the
chief engineer, and his intelligent corps of assistants,
that we should bear testimony to the ability and fidelity
with which they discharged their arduous duties, as well
previous to the accident as in their subsequent efforts to
repair the machinery."
These resolutions are signed by the whale of the pas-
sengers.

THE WIFE OF JOHN MITCHELL, THE IRISH
EXILE. —The Condor sailed from the Mersey on Wednesday
last, for Australia. Amongst the first class passengers was
Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of John Mitchell, who was sen-
tenced to transportation in consequence of his connexion
with the political disturbances in Ireland. Mrs. Mitchell
takes with her four children, three boys and a girl. She ar-
rived at this port on Saturday last by steamer from Newry.
The celebrated Father Kenyon accompanied her to Liverpool
to make the neces-ary arrangements for her departure. The
Ragged School children, mentioned in our supplement to-
day, were also passengers in the Condon—Liverpool Mer-
cury.
