LONDON UNIVERSITY.

The Earl of DURHAM ht%lged to inquire of the noble
marquis near him (Lansdowne), whether any day had
been fixed for the appuntment of a committee to consider
the claims of the L,indon t nivereit,y to a charter.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in reply to his noble
friend, begged to It ite that those petitions relating to the
subject had been laid before his Majesty in council, and
had by his Majesty been referred to a committee of the
Privy Council, but that no day had as yet been fixed
for the appointment of that committee. He believed
that they were only waiting until some petitions which
were expected, had been re-carried.
The Earl of DURHAM would then take the liberty of
asking whether teat committee of the Privy Council was
to be an open committee?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was not sufficiently
acquainted with the practice of counsel to answer his
noble friend's question, but he believed that it was only on
very rare occasions that a committee of the privy council
was appointed.
Earl GREY presented petitions from the Dissenters of
Bath, Boston, Dover, Holyhead, Bow in Middlesex, and
various other places, praying for relief of their grievances.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon the table
copies of the orders in council relative to the trade of
Canton.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Msatcx 15.—The Chamber of Repre-
sentatives, in the sittings of 12th, 13th, and 14th March,
continued the discussion of the project of law respecting
the iron rail-ro-ad. Several members spoke for and against
the project.
The Senate has commenced the discussion of the pro-
ject of law, giving a rate of credit of 2,800,000 francs to
the Minister of War. The Minister of War said that
General Dumoulin having, in his last letter (that of 28th
February), declared that he would confine himself to the
radius of two leagues, asserting, however, that the legal
radios was four leagues, as laid down in the convention
of 28th May, 1832. between the Prince of Hess Hom-
burg and General Goethels, the Government is nego-
tiating to have the point definitively settled. He has
ordered the radius of four leagues not to be infringed upon
at present; but the continuation of the order will depend
on the conduct of the• garrison.
MARCH 14.—Act. Debt, 2i per Cent., 57i ; Roths-
child's Loan, 5 per Cent., 971 ; Loan of the City, 1833,
5 per Cent., 94.
ODESSA, FEB. 14.—The weather has become more
mild, and the ice in the road begins to melt, but the snow
continues to fall in great abundance. The storms at the
end of December caused a drift of snow, which occa-
sioned the destruction of a great quantity of cattle that
the Tartars about Perecop had driven on to the step of
land between the sea and the Dnieper, and which being
terrified ran to the sea coast and plunged into the wave+.
TLe loss of horses, oxen, and sheep is estimated at the
sure of between four and five millions of rubles.

has arisen since 1830, a loan of forty-two millions is spoken
of, in order to be Itt plied to carry their plans into effect.
The printed answers to the observation of the section of
the second chamber of the Statrs•General, respecting the

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HAT T ON-GARDEN.
Edward, Wright, the register•office keeper, 91, Hat
ton•garden, was finally examined.
James Davis, on Saturday, the Bth instant, called upon
the prisoner to inquire atter a traveller's situation, in con-
sequence of having seen an advertisement in the newspa-
per. He saw Mrs. Wright (the prisoner was then in
custody), who, having obtained 2e. 6d. from him, di-
rected him to Messrs. Talks and Co., Green Arbour.yard,
Newgate-street. On arriving there he was told that no
traveller was wanted, and that about 100 persons had
been sent on the same sleeveless errand.

Mr. Virtue, of the firm of Tallis and Co., said upwards
of 30 young men called at his warehouse on the Bth inst.,
about a traveller's situation. The firm had not adver-
tised for servants of any description.
David Marshall, of Wilatead street, Somerstown, a few
months ago, in consequence of seeing an advertisement,
called on the prisoner, who required a deposit of 301.
from him as security for his conduct in the situation which
be should procure him. He gave the 301., but he neither
obtained the situation nor his money.
Committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

An aged man, named Whitehead, who stated
that he resided at Beverley, in Yorkshire, applied
to J. E. CONANT, Esq., under the following cir-
cumstances :

Applicant stated that upwards of forty years since
he was married to a young woman as near his own
age as possible. She absconded from him thirty-
five years ago, and he had not seen her for fifteen
years. He had heard of the dissolute life she was
carrying on at different times, but still he did not
see her. He found that she had been living with
different men, and had been married to two or three,
who had left her money. He had now discovered
where she was living, and wanted a warrant to ap-
prehend her for bigamy.

Mr. CONANT said that he could not have a war-
rant against his own wife. The other men could
have a warrant. He had better go quietly if he
wanted to see her, but he could not give him any
assistance.
London, England, 1834-01-25

MAR YLEB ONE.

SINGULAR APPLICATION.—Yesterday a middle-
aged woman, respectably attired, and carrying a
bundle of papers in her hand, entered the office, and
made the following application to Mr. RAWLINSON,
the sitting Magistrate :
She began by stating that she was a lady of title,
and was once possessed of a very considerable for-
tune, and not long ago kept a splendid establish-
ment in Harley-street, having at the time an income
of 8,0001. a-year ; but she had lately been deprived
of her titles and property by her relations, who
thought her insane and incapable of managing her
own affairs. Not long since she went to the bank-
ing-house of Sir Claude Scott to receive 6001. then
due to her, but it was kept back by that gentle-
man's elde,t son, whom she did not consider to
blame, he having acted under the directions of a
person of greater power.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What is it you wish me to do
for you? Applicant—To issue summonses for the
parties to attend here.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What is the name of the per-
son whom you say is possessed of such great power ?
Applicant (laughing)—l must not tell you. They
will make you an Earl or a Duke to resign your
seat on the Bench and not to interfere in the case.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Then I cannot issue sum-
monses without names. Applicant—You positively
shall, Mr. Rai.vlinson, if not now, at some other
time. Good morning, Sir.

Mr. RAwuNsoN—Good morning, Ma'am.
Applicant then left the office, and Mr. RAWLIN-•
SON immediately after remarked to Mr. Fell, the
Chief Clerk, that she had paid him a visit at his
house the day previously, and he believed her to be,
from her conversation and manners, respectably
connected ; but that, notwithstanding she spoke in
so calm and rational a manner, she was labouring
under insanity, and imagined herself to be very
nearly allied to nobility.

letters from the said Joseph Ady, alias James Laurie,
which is his present cognomen—they are of like import,
and churchwardens will do well to refuse such, or get
their postage money returned. We should not be sur-
prised to find that Master Joseph has claimed a pension
from Government, for adding to the revenue through the
Post-office. We understand that one pariah, for " the

(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)

PRIESTLEY AND PRIESTLEY, JUN.'S BANKRUPTCY,
The bankrupts in this case were very extensive
hop-merchants in Southwark, and a meeting was
held of their creditors to-day for the proof of debts,
&c. The total claims against the estate amount to
not less than 40,1901. 15s. 6d. The assets, as far
as can be ascertained, are as follow :—Good debts
2,9001., and value of property belonging to the
estate 4,6861. There are also doubtful and bad
debts to the amount of 15,6001. The principal
claim upon the estate is that of Messrs. Cunliffe
and Co., which is nearly 16,0001., the greater part
of which the banking firm proved for during the
day. The bankrupts, at the close of the meeting
to-day, passed their final examination.
(Before Mr. Commissioner WILLIAMS.)
FELIX WHITMORE'S BANKRUPTCY.

A meeting of the creditors of Felix Whitmore,
many years an extensive ale-brewer, of the Belve-
dere Brewery, Lambeth, was held to-day, for the
proof of debts. The fiat was issued in December,
1832, and the brewery having been sold, this day
was fixed for the declaratio❑ of a final dividend.
The proofs and claims previously made against the
estate amounted to 10,876/.135. 4d., and the proofs
made during this day were 1,3261. 18s. 4d., making
a total of proofs, &c., of 12,2031. 1 ls. Bd. The

PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS.

Sir. J. SCARLET' moved for a rule to show cause
why a mandamus should not issue commanding the
churchwardens of the parish of St. Pancras, Mid-
dlesex, to summon the parishioners in the four dis-
tricts to assemble, for the purpose of electing a ves-
try pursuant to the provisions of the Select Vestry
Act applicable to the said parish, namely, an Act
passed in the first and second years of his present
Majesty. The parish officers had applied to the
Secretary of State to direct the magistrates to issue
warrants to enforce the payment of rates, and they
had been told they must make the vestry a legal
body, by compliance with the Act of Parliament.
Under these circumstances no rate could be collec-
ted from those who acted in opposition to the ves-
try, and the more wealthy and well-disposed part of
the parish were compelled to pay double.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What do you re-
quire us to do ?

Sir J. SCARLETT-All we want is to be able to
make a legal rate. The churchwardens ought to
collect the parishioners living in four districts, to
assemble the parish for the election of a vestry in
pursuance of the provisions of the Act.

The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE—The mandamus
will not direct them as to what, they are to do.

Sir. J. SCARLETT —No. The churchwardens
are directed to summon the parish together, and
elect a vestry.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.

2...-IN COVENANT AND DEBT.

1. In debt on specialty or covenant, the plea of non
e?t factum shall operate as a denial of the execution of the
deed in point of fact only, and all other defences shall be
specially pleaded, including matters which make the deed
absolutely void, as well as those that make it voidable.
2. The plea of nil debet shall not be allowed in any
action.

3. In actions of debt on simple contract, other than on
bills of exchange and promissory notes, the defendant may
p'ead that "he never was indebted in manner and form
as in the declaration alleged," and such plea shall have the
same operation as the plea of non-assumpsit, in indebi_
talus assumpsit, and all matters in confession and avoid-
ance shall he pleaded specially, as above directed in actions
of assumpsit.
4. In other actions of debt, in which the plea of nil
(Abet has been hitherto allowed, including those on bills
of exchange end promissory notes, the defendant shall
deny specifically some particular matter of fact alleged in
the declaration, or plead specially in confession and avoid-
ance.

IN RE LORD WARD,

Mr. KMGIIT said that in this matter which stood in his
Lordship's paper by appointment, a communication had been
sent to a gentleman in Ireland, and there must be an answer to
that communication before it could be properly brought in.
Under those circumstances he had to apply that it might stand
to be mentioned finally next Friday morning. Mr. Knight
had the utmost confidence that it would not be necessary fur-
ther to discuss it.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL expressed his gratification at hear-
ing this statement, and did not wish to press it on just now.
The Loan CHANCELLOR directed it to stand over for another
week. He likewise trusted there would be no necessity for
going further into it.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
London, England, 1834-01-25

given upon ti e alleged consideration, but not of the
breach ; and in an action on a policy of insurance, of the
subscription to the alleged policy by the defendant, but
not of the interest, of the commencement of the risk, of
the loss, or of the alleged compliance of warranties.
In actions against carriers and other bailees, for not
delivering or not keeping goods safe, or not returning
them on request, and in actions against agents for not
accounting, the plea will operate as a denial of any ex.
press contract to the effect alleged in the declaration, and
of such bailment or employment as would raise a promise
in law to the effect alleged, but not of the breach.
In an action of indebitatus assumpsit for goods sold
and delivered, the plea of non.assumpsit will operate as a
denial of the sale and delivery in point of fact ; in the
like action for money bad and received, it will operate as
a denial both of the receipt of the money and the existence
of those facts which make such receipt by the defendant a
receipt to the use of the plaintiff.
2. In all actions upon bills of exchange and promissory
notes, the plea of non-assunzpsit shall be inadmissible. In
such actions, therefore, a plea in denial must traverse
some matter of fact—ex. gr., the drawing or making, or
endorsing, or accepting, or presenting, or notice of disho-
nour of the bill or note.

3. In every species of assumpsit, all matters in con-
fession and avoidance, iucluding not only those by way of
discharge, but those which show the transaction to be
either void or voidable in point of lacy, on the ground of
fraud or otherwise, shall be speeially pleaded. Ex. gr.,
infancy, coverture, release, payment, performance, illegality
of consideration either by statute or common law ; draw-
ing, endorsing, accepting, &c., bills or notes by way of
accommodation, set-off, mutual credit, unseaworthimss,
misrepresentation, concealment, deviation, and various
other defences must be pleaded.
4. In actions on policies of assurance, the interest of
the assured may be averred thus—" That A., 8., C , and
D., or some or one of them, were or was interested," &c. ;
and it may also be averred " that the insurance was made
for the use and benefit, and on the account of the person
or persons so interested."

tion was verbally objected to at the time Mr. Bigg made
the claim. Mr. Bigg had paid no other rates than a land
tax of 3/. or 4/. per annum for the seat in the Six Clerks'
Office.

Mr. CHAPMAN said that as the overseers had not given
the proper notice to Mr. Bigg, they had no right to apply
to strike out his name.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, SEPT. 18

John Koops was opposed by Mr. Nicholls (with whom
was Mr. Thomas) on the part of Mr. Brenan, as executor
of a Mr. Murphy. He was supported by Messrs. Cooke
and Woodroffe.

The insolvent had formerly been a tailor. He advanced
Mr. Murphy 8001., and became a kind of partner.
Be-
fore the death of Mr. Murphy, who was a pawnbroker in
St. Mary-Axe, the petitioner had managed his business.
He furnished an account to the executor, in which a sum
of 2001. was disputed. The insolvent would not quit pos-
session of the property, and Mr. Brenan commenced pro-
ceedings in Chancery. At that time he was possessed of
considerable property, and contemplated leaving the coun-
try. A writ of ne e.reat regno was obtained against him
in November, and in default of bail he was committed to
prison. At the time of his arrest lie sold out of the funds
830/., which he said he had since spent, chiefly among
lawyers, and had he had as much more it would have gone.
He had a house worth between 2,000/. and 3,000/. at Pop-
lar. He held it by copyhold, and since his imprisonment
he had made a deed of trust in favour of his wife of the
property. The deed was executed in March last, while in
prison. He said he had now got rid of all his property.
His principal creditor was Mr. Brenan.
The COURT could not give judgment in the present
state of the schedule, and adjourned the case for a new
balance-sheet and further evidence.
The case, which occupied several hours, was adjourned
sine die.
London, England, 1834-09-19

' ing through Norwich. The statement before us esti-
mates the population at about three millions and
a half, and the numbers are not overrated. To a
large portion of these a railway will open a new
channel for industry—an inexhaustible fund of
richly remunerating labour. The northern coast
will be improved, manufactures will flourish, and
the fruits of agriculture will be made available to
the wants of the producers, and the necessities of the
consumers. Every step taken to facilitate the inter-
course of a nation with itself, or with foreigners, is a
link struck off from the chain of barbarism in which
mankind have been bound for ages.
If our readers require other arguments, of a nature
'.,1310re in accordance with the modes of reasoning most
in request among mercantile men, we have much plea-
sure in referring them to the speeches delivered at a
meeting of the Committee of the Bath and Bristol
Railway Company, particularly those of Mr. SAUN-
DERS, the able and indefatigable Secretary, of which
an abridged report is given in another part of
The Sun. The gentlemen whose speeches are
there given, are persons of high character, to
whom the most ardent venerator of the wisdom
of antiquity would not deny the right of sug-
gesting improvements, as they possess " stakes in
the community." By the way, we have just received
a PROSPECTUS of a proposal for the establishment
of a Southern Railway, which, in the words of the
writer, " will give facility to the projected Western, the
Midland, and the Great Northern Railways to York,
Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Nottingham, Bury St. Ed-
mond's, and Norwich." This line of • southern com-
munication is intended to connect London, Horsham,
Shoreham, Brighton, Arundel, Chichester, and Ports-
mouth ; but as the subject is important we shall take
au early opportunity of again referring to it. In a
word, we regard all railroads as veins or channels
through which the life-blood of the state will be
conveyed from the heart to the extremities, and re-
turn again with invigorating energy, infusing new
life and vigour into the whole social system. We
know that in the first instance great individual loss will
necessarily be sustained by stage-coach proprietors and
others, whose interest it is to support the existing state
of things. This we know, and lament most sincerely ;
though we will not admit that a nation should suffer to
preserve the privileges of a small number of individuals.
However, we would suggest a remedy for the evil.
Let the stage-coach owners lose no time in taking
shares in. the railroads, and thus future profits will
counterbalance prospective loss. They cannot stem the
current ; the best way, therefore, is to adjust them-
selves to swim with it.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.-THIS DAY,

The CHIEF-COMMISSIONER and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN
were occupied the whole morning with motions and unopposed
cases, which presented no points interesting to the public.
The Commissioners rose before 1 o'clock. The Court will
proceed with the opposed cases to-morrow.
London, England, 1834-09-19

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)
The CHAIRMAN of the CITY LANDS said that it had
been considered necessary by the Committee, in order to
meet the provisions of the new Act of Parliament, which
would cause the trial of numbers of persons from other
counties to take place at the Old Bailey, to make appro-
priate alterations in the Court-house. The men employed
were obliged to work night and day, and the expenses, he
calct►lated, would amount to between 3,000/. and 4,000/.
If this course, which he considered the Court had sanc-
tioned, had not been followed, the Court of Aldermen
would certainly have proceeded to make alterations accord-
ing to their views of the emergency.
Mr. Tic KNEn was not aware of any sanction given by the
Court to an undertaking of such extent.
The CHAIRMAN Of the CITY LANDS said that the Com-
mittee would as soon as possible report upon the subject,
and would act as much in conformity to the standing
orders as possible. He considered the occasion one of para-
mount necessity.

THE QUEEN CAROLINE HOSPITAL WARDS.
The TOWN-CLERK informed the Court that he had re-
ceived the following letter from Joseph Hume, Esq.:--
" London, Bryanstone-square, Aug. 26.
" Sir,—The trustees for the erection of a tionument to the
late Queen Caroline having considered that the establishment
of an hospital would be as proper an one as any column or
statue, have given three wards for the reception of 60 patients,
to be called henceforth Queen Caroline's Wards P and having
made the Common Council of the City of London a party to
the fulfilment of the agreement under certain contingencies, I
have to request that you will receive the copy of the deeds for
carrying into effect the stipulations agreed upon, and the trustees
will be pleased if the Common Council will take charge of the
deeds, and, when requisite, act in the election of dirivtors as
therein prescribed.
" I have the honour to remain your obedient servant,
"JOSEPH HUME.
" And other Trustees of Queen's Caroline's Wards.
" To Sir J. Shaw, Chamberlain of the City of London."
It was then moved and carried that • the Court should
accept of the proposition, and the letter was ordered to be
entered on the journals.
