BE ADON V. RING.
This case was resumed this morning. The suit WW
to set aside a covenant made in June, 1808, by the late
Dr. King, prebendary of Wivelescombe, in Somas*
shire, and afterwards Bishop of Rochester, of a portion„
of the prebendary estates, for the alleged purpose of
applying the proceeds in redemption of the land-tax
but which was, in fact, a sale by Dr. King to his bro-
ther, in trust for himself. Dr. King died in 1827. The
Rev. Mr. Keene, one of the defendunts, was a prebee"
dary from 1827 to 1833 ; and in the latter year the
plaintiff, who is the present prebendary, was appointed.
The defendants are the personal representatives of the
late Dr. King.
Air. Bothell, Mr. Rolf, and Mr. Bazslete appeared for
the plaintiffs; and Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Melina, Mr. Jame.
Barker, and Mr. Heberden for the defendants.
SHERIFFS' COURT,—(THIS DAY.)
The cases during the morning were on hills of ex'
change, undefended, and not of the lightest interest.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. •
(THIS DAY.)
J. Linstead, & journeyman tailor, IV. Lewis, a private
in the Coldstream Guards, and Benjamin Swau,
•
chimney sweeper, were charged with robbing a young
man named Bruce of the sum of 19s. 6d.
It appeared that the prosecutor and a young woman
were drinking at the bar of a public-house in Westmin-
ster, and prosecutor took the silver out of his pocket ts+
pay, when a soldier, who was in company with several
others present, struck him on the arm, and knocked the
stoney out of his hand. The soldier did not stoop to
take up any of the money, but the others round
him
scrambled for it, and ran away from the house. The
prosecutor gave the three prisoners afterwards into
custody.
Lewis, who wore a good-conduct mark, denied that
he was in the house that evening at any time, and hie
sergeant was present to give him a character; where-
upon
The Jul:47;m remarked that this was the first time he
had ever seen in the dock a soldier with that chevran
upon his arm.
Linstead admitted that ho was present at the semi:a-
ble, but took no part in it.
A witness stated that the soldier concerned in the
" lark" had his buttons down the coat front in an un-
broken row, being of the Ist Regiment, whereas the pri-
soner, Lewis, had them in " two's," which was the style
of tho Coldstreams, the Fusiliers having them in
" three's."
Tho jury, without hesitation, Acquitted the prisoners.

CONVERSAZIONE AT THE MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday evening the whole of the State apartments
at the Mansion-house were thrown open to a brilliant
circle of rank, science, beauty, and fashioe. such as is
seldom seen collected under one roof, even in the great
metropolis. The arrivals were incessant from nine till
half-past ten o'clock, by which time every available
corner of the civic palace was crowded to suffocation.
The Egyptian Hall was brilliantly illuminated, and ar-
ranged as a concert room, in which was performed a
concert of English music, and we need hardly add that
it formed the great point of attraction. In the ball-room
were laid out varieus objects of interest contributed by
friends of the Lord Mayor, among which were models
of ships from the Admiralty, electro plate -from
Messrs. Elkington's, the beautiful and novel glass
globes which now figure so frequently at pitblie
entertainments, some fine specimens of enamelled
glass from dr. Bled; and last, though not least
in interest, a rare and curious manuscript chronicle
of French history sent from the City archives by the
City Remembrancer. In other parts were flags frost
the Tower, and salts of *Armour from various quarters;
in short, nothing was warning to give Welt to the wel-
come which our worthy chief magistrate dispensed to
his distinguished foreign and English guests. Between
half-past ten and eleven the scene was gay and attractive
to an extraordinary degree, the number of foreign and
especially of eastern costumes giving quite a pictorial
character to the groups, or rather crowds, .which one
met in every quarter. The distinguished visitors were
severally introduced by Mr. Cattey, the Lord Mayor's
secretaty, who most effectively superintended ' the ge-
neral arrangements, and received by the Lady Mayorefes
with all due graciousness and hospitality. The cone
pany, which numbered altogether nearly 1,500, begs
to depart shortly after the concert, but great numbers
e o clock.
protracted the reception until nearly Well! '

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
The receipts at the Crystal Palace yesterday amounted
to 2,5001. 165., and 184 18s. was taken by the sale of
season tickets, which still continues. By the police re-
turns 55,254 people visited the building during the day,
a considerable proportion of Whom were evidently from
the country.

COLONEL SIBTHOIIP AND THE EXHIBITION.--Ziar
withstanding the antipathy of our Gallant Member to the
importation of foreign goods and foreigners to this country to
the World's Fair, it gives us great pleasure to inform car
readers that the Colonel was observed in the Crystal Palace
on Wednesday last, evidently highly interested in the mag-
nificent display before him. Re paid particular attention to
the American and French departments, and was apparently
astonished at the ingenious production of Colt, the gun-
maker, so justly celebrated for his six-barrelled revolver
pistol. He was also much pleased with the splendid articles;
of vertu displayed in the French department. He spent
nearly the whole of the day in the building, and we do hope
the strong John Bull prejudices with reference to the Exhi-
bition, so often evinced in quaint and humorous speeches, will
have departed from him.—Lincoln Times.
ST. PAUL'S SCHooL.— The Apposition of this ex-
cellent foundation took place yesterday. We are glad to
announce that the Lord Chancellor has signified his-inten
tion of transferring I,oo' 1., the interest of which is to be
applied in awarding a gold medal, of the value of ten
guineas, and a purse of twenty guineas, or books to that
amount, each yearly Apposition, to the author of the hest
English essay—the price to be called " The Chancellor's
Prize." In addition to this munificent donation, Sir Chas.
Mansfield Clarke, Baronet, founds an annual prize, to be
called "The Milton Prize," for a copy of English verses on
a sacred subject. A third, in the character of a memorial
to be called " The Thruston Memorial," is proposed, in
perpetuati,n of the name and virtues of a late student of
the school, for a copy of Latin lyrics, to be given on the 12th
of September, and recited at the winter speeches. The con-
dition is attached to it. that the High Master for the time.
being shall apply a portion of the money to the object of
keeping the gravestones and inscription in a proper state at
Highgate Ceme,ry.

THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH.
—Yesterday an inquest was held at Woolwich on the body of
Mr. William Buck, of ilanover-chambers, Adelphi, who was
killed by the pa-sage of a train on Sunday night on the
North Kent Railway. The jury, having heard the evidence
of several eye witnesses, returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."

THE STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATESHIP AT LIVER-
FOOL.— At a meeting of the Liverpool town council, held
yesterday, it was resolved t• recommend Mr. J. S. Mansfield
formerly of the northern circuit, to Sir George Grey, as the
successor of the late Mr. Rushton, at the salary of 1,0001. a
year. Two courts are to be established under the same roof,
over one of which the mayor and honorary magistrates will
preside. It was proposed that the name of Mr. Blair, a Li-
verpool banister of come standing, should be coupled with
that of Mr. Mansfield is the recommendatioa to the Secretary
of State, but this was overruled by a majority of 40 to 10.
Mr. Rushton, the late stipendiary, enjoyed a salary of 1,600/.,
but be transacted the whole of the business, without the
assistance of a second court.
