The contention arises between the vendor and purchaser
of the advowson of the rectory of Haseley, in the county of
Warwick, for £2,800. The purchaser alleges that the
vendor did not inform him before he made the purchase-that
there was a mm tg,age charge of £GOO under the Queen Ana's
Bounty' again:4 the rectory ; that the benefice was incutu-
bored to the extent of £350, and outgoings £lO a year, and,
therefore,- the qauchuser was entitled to convent:Aden to
that extent, as the vender did net disclose these ineumbrances.
The vendor alleged forget fulness on his part and offered to
rescind the bargain, but declined to give compensation. On
12th February, 1858, appellant filed his bill far specific per-
formance of the contract of sale, awl to give an abatement
of the incumbrances-from the purchase money. On 15th
July, 1858,-Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart decreed speci-
fic performance of the agreement on payment of the pur-
chas?, money and five per cant. intercst. On 18th Dec.,
1853, the Lords, Justices of Appeal affirmed the decretal
order of the Vice-Chancellor-with costs. Against this de-
cision the appellant appealed.
Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. Schomberg were heard for
the appellant.

THE NEW NOVEL.
This Day, at all the Libraries, in 2 vols.,

The first of a series of meetings to inaugurate the
recently formed Institution of Naval Architects,
commenced yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the
Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi.
The Right Hon. Sir JOHN PAKTNnTON, G.C.8.,
who presided, observed that he deemed it one of
the highest honours to occupy I.hat position. From
early life he had taken a d.ce-p interest in all goes-
tions relating to uav;.
England gation r.nd the building of
ships,. and it wus ;:lso impossible that. he could have
occupied h
;.gli position in the Royal Navy of

icimalpomretiaince.
practical
be-
fore him he should of course not venture upon very
positive opinions of his own, but he thought it was
a fact that our naval architecture had not kept pace
with our naval superiority. During the long war
with France, a frigate was captured from the enemy
which was considered as a model of shipbuilding ;
and the idea of clipper ships came from the United
States. Many important improvements had been
carried out by British shipbuilders and engineers,
but, notwithstanding, much remained to be done.
In naval matters Russia, the United States, France,
and England appeared to be starting upon one gnat
rate of competition, and the object which this in-
stitution sought to accomplish was that England
should win. Referring to the Royal Navy, Sir
John observed that the Mersey and Orlando were
wonderful l'rigates, and a great experiment would
be carried out by the construction of those two enor-
mous iron-cased vessels which were projected by the
late, and he was glad to say sanctioned by the pre-
sent Government. He deeply lamented/hat he could
not on that occasion meet with Mr. Brunel, but when
he saw Mr. Scott Russell present he could not but
sinepeely hope that. _notwithstanding all adverse
circumstances, that mighty work, the Cireat Eastern,
would still prove the triumph of science. (Cheers.)
Sir John concluded an excellent address by alluding
to the advantages which must result from the for-
mation of the institution.

IHE VOYAGE OF THE LADY.
By the Authew of
" TILE THREE PATHS."
Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

This Company has been formed under the Limited Liability
Act for the purpose of the purchase and enlargement of the
Queen's Hotel at Upper Norwood.
The celebrated and well-earned reputation of the manage-
ment of this Hotel, for many years, together with its admir-
able situation—remarkable alike for the beauty of the scenery
and the- purity of the air—have rendered It the favourite
resort of numerous and distinguished visitors.
The immediate vicinity of the Crystal Palace has added to
its attractions as a residence, while, at the same time, the
bracing character of the Surrey hills, amongst which it is
placed, strongly recommends it to those seeking it for the
Purposes of health ; indeed, the character of the Hotel' is so
*widely known that it is not necessary to enlarge further on
Its advantages as a profitable investment.
The Hotel was orignally projected, and has since been con-
ducted by the present proprietor ; but that gentleman's other
avocations, together with the increasing business of the Hotel,
and the necessity for its enlargement, have now induced him
to relinquish the sole management of the undertaking ; he
still retains, however, a large pecuniary interest as a share-
holder, and the board will have the advantage of his experi-
ence and assistance as a director.
The property, comprising the hotel, which at present con-
tains 140 rooms, with extensive stables (sufficient for 80 horses),'
ample carriage room, and pleasure and kitchen gardens, and
every necessary accommodation, has been carefully surveyed,
and its value ascertained by an experienced valuer ; and it
has been secured to the Company on what the directors be-
lieve to be advantageous terms.
- The capital of £50,000, after providing for the payment of
.the purchase-money, will leave amply sufficient means for
*effecting the improvements and extensions which are con-
templated (estimated at least at 50 additional rooms), and the
-directors are confident that these extensions will very mate-
rially increase the profits—at present considerable.
In conclusion, the directors draw attention to the important
fact that the undertaking possesses this great advantage, that
the shareholders will at once enter into possession of an esta-
blished business, yielding already a handsome return. .
Two auditors will be appointed to audit the accounts, which
will be accessible for the examination of the shareholders.
Forms of application for shares may be had at the offices of
the Company at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Nor-wood, and of
the brokers of the Company, Messrs. Price and Brown, 4,
Change-alley.
A sum of £1 per share must be lodged at the bankers on appli-
cation for the shares, and £llos., making up the first instalment
o€£2lol. per share, must be paid on allotment. The remainhig
£7 10s. will be payable in three equal quarterly instalmentch—,

CONSISTORY COURT.
(Before Dr. Travers Twiss.)
_ _

THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS AT ST. GEORGE'S EAST.
This morning was appointed for Mr. Robert Rosier,
who bas been cited to this court at the instance of the Rev.
Bryan king, the rector, to appear to answer the allegations
in the articles which have been filed against him.
It will be remembered that on Tuesday, the 21st inst.,
Dr. Phillimore, who attended on behalf of Mr. King, ten-
dered certain articles against Mr. Rosier, who appeared in
person, charging hint that, during the Litany service in
August last, when the Rev. W. P. Burn, the officiating
minister, fell down in a fit, he shouted Out, " This is a
judgment of God upon the Puseyites he is dead—down with
Bryan King !" and that upon other occasions he was guilty
of chiding, brawling, and behaving irreverently in church.
The judge would not allow all those articles to be pled, and
they underwent very considerable modifications: In their
amended form Mr. Rosier was called upon to answer them
on Tuesday last, the 28th ult., but owing to a mistake in
the hour he did not make his appearance in court. A
pereinctory order directing him to attend to-day was then
served upon him, and ho put in his appearance accordingly.
Dr. Twiss inquired if he was prepared, to put in his an-
swer to the allegations made against him ?
Mr. Rosier said he had not received a copy of the
amended articles and was not prepared with an answer.
The Proctor, for Mr. King, reminded the learned judge
that the articles were amended on the last court day, when
Mr. Rosier was present.
Dr. Twiss (to the registrar)—What would be the ordi-
nary course of procedure in such a case.
Dr. Shepherd (the registrar)—said he could get a copy
of the articles at the office, and by them amend his own.
Mr. Rosier said he had been fully prepared to put in his
plea to the whole of the articles as they were originally
framed, and which were entirely untrue.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages.
BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the
purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow-
ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun-
tries, as the increasing ratronage of the highest families in
the lend is a sufficient guarantee.
They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic
Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak
stomachs.
A sample case, containing three full-sizAd wine bottles,
will be forwarded to any address on reecipt of P. 0.0. for 68.
sd. or a dozen for 245.
it is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines
are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the
stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure
wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,
strengthening, and bracing the nervous system.
Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in-
valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from
the homes of the weak, and sickly. Its properties are duly
acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the
faculty, both at home and abroad.

Ezekiel Simons, a Russian Pole, said—About nine or

not afford to pay all the expenses of their passage, and
asked me for 10s. It was through another person that he
saw the prisoner. The prisoner, at his house, 19, New-
man -street, Princes street, said he could assist me, and
asked if wanted to go to America—New York. I said
" Yes." He said, "If you want to go you must pay me
a deposit of 105.," which I gave 'him. He then
said "As soon as the ship is ready I will come
and tell you," and he took down our addresses. Ho
said "You nted not get provisions, as you will have a
card to get them on board." I left, and the prisoner
called on me in six weeks, and asked if I was ready.
and gave me to understand that I should have to pay £3
10s. more for myself and wife for the passage. I said I was
not ready but would sell all my things and get the money.
Ire said, " You'll have 10 days to sell them in," and I then
said I would give him the rest of the money when I got on
the vessel, but the prisoner never came again. Lastnight
the prisoner said, " Whatever you charge for your loss I'll
pay you." I should not have parted with my money but
that I believed he was the chief of a society and I should
be sent to America. My things realised £5.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
"Blessed is he," says Swift, "who expecteth nothing,
for he shall not be disappointed." If there had been any
high expectations regarding the Reform Bill, so often pro-
mised and so long delayed, of which Lord John Russell
was known to be the parent—there would, most certainly,
have been grievous disappointment in the public mind,
when the provisions of the measure became known to
the country. The fact, however, that nothing great
or worthy of the people's acceptance was expected, will
prevent any general or deep disappointment. We
were among those whose expectations were the least
enlarged, but assuredly, moderate as they were, they
did exceed what the measure is now known to be.
That the Bill will pass, there can no longer be a doubt.
The Tories, for the sake of appearances, may
offer a sort of opposition to some of its provisions, but in
reality they must be .deligbted with it. Aiything so in-
adequate, anything so complete a mockery of real Reform,
coming from them, would have been received with shouts
of mingled indignation and derision.
One simple fact will show how worthless and delusive
the measure is. It will only add, according to Lord John
Ruisell's own calculation, 194,000 new electors to the exist-
ing constituency. Now, what claim can this addition to
the electoral body have to be regarded as a large and
liberal extension of the franchise, in a country con-
taining a population of somewhere about 18,000,000 ?
The present constituency, accerdinc, to Lord John
Russell, amounts to 440,7 iO, and the addition
now to be made to it will fall short of a third. If
the existing constituency is confessedly altogether inade-
quate to ensure a faithful representation of the national
opinions and wishes, so small an addition as this will ma-
nifestly leave matters much in the way in which this Re-
form Bill found them. To have brought in so poor a mea-
sure as this, is no better than gravely trifling with the
country. It would have been far better not to have brought
in any bill at all, than such au inadequate measure as that
which Lord John Russell last night laid on the table of the
house. It will satisfy no one except the Tories, or such of
the Whigs as are in their liearts opposed to all reform.
The country will feel that it has been deceived, and that
feeling will lead to very unpleasant results. Instead of
the measure quieting the demand for representative reform,
it will only kindle It 3 slumbering embers into a flame.

Nathan Abrahams said—About nine or ten months ago
I went to 19, Princes-street, with another person, who is
now in America. I asked if Napoleon was at home, and
prisoner said he was Napoleon. The prisoner said he sent
poor people to Ametica, and asked if I was a single man. I
told him I had three children, and he said he wanted £7 of
roe, and he would himself send sue. I said I could not pay
£7, and he then reduced the amount to £5. Prisoner said
he was master over a society, and asked at once for £l. I
had 10s. with me, and he took that as a-deposit of the £5,
and to insure me being sent. He said he would call and
tell me when to go. A month after the prisoner called at
my house, and told me to be ready in a few days for the
voyage, and asked for some money. I said, when the
vessel was to sail I had £1 to receive from
a Jewish charitable fund, and that the money would be
paid for me. The prisoner did not call again after that. I
have been to his house frequently, but could not see him,
and have not till last night at the police station. •
Sergeant Rogers, who took the prisoner into custody,
having deposed to that. fact, said, in answer to Mr. Lewis,

that he knew Mr. Sands, who was formerly an in-
spector of police, and was employed to send refugees from
this country by the French and English Governments ; but
they were not persons in distress, but political refugees,
not Russians and Poles only, but French, Italians, and
ethers.

Mr. Lewis having cross-examined the witnesses, the pri-
soner was remanded for a week, bail being taken for his re-

appearance.

FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning,
about six, a fire broke out in the private residence of Mr.W.
Featherstone, No. 5, Pleasant-place, Bankside, Southwark,
and, we regret to say was attended with fatal consequences.
In a very short time from the discovery of the fire the
escape attended,followed by the brigade engines from South-
wark - bridge-road ,Tooley- street, and Waterloo-road stations.
By then the whole of the top part of the house was en-
veloped in flatues, and unfortunately Mr. Featherstone was
in the midst of the fire which was raging so fiercely that
no one was able to enter the place. The neighbours and fire-
men eventually succeeded in getting the flames extinguished
but not until the top portion of the house was burned out
and the remainder considerably damaged. Upon the fire-
men entering the ruins as soon as the flames were extin-
tinguished, they found the unfurtutate man burned over
the whole of his body in a frightful manner and quite dead.
The deceased was 60 years of age. There is no doubt but the
poor fellow was burnt to death before the escape was called,
or even the existence of the fire became known.

THAMES.
ROGUES IN A BAKEROUsE.—John Smith, aged 18, and
Henry Cole, 39, journeyman bakers, in the employ of Mr.
Henry Brown, of No. 126, Royal Mint-street, alias Ruse -
ary-lane, and Benjamin Barnes, a grocer and general
dealer, of 93, in the same street, were brought before Mr.
Selfe, charged with stealing a large quantity of bread, the
property of Mr. Brown.
It appeared froni the evidence that yesterday morning at
the early hour of six o'clock, a police constable of the C di-
vision, named Hugh Andrews, saw Cole and Smith leave
their master's bakehouse, in which they were employed,
with a basket cf bread, which they conveyed to the shop of
the receiver, Barnes. Andrews thought the transaction a
very strange one, but did not take either of the parties

Barnes, who is a bread seller, might be one of the
prosecutor's customers. In the course of the day,
however, Andrews communicated what he had seen to Mr.
Brown, aid in consequence of what he said he was again

seven o'clock saw the prisoners, Cole and Smith, again
leave their master's bake-house with a basket, which they
conveyed, as before, to the shop of the prisoner Barnes who
