seats on the bench became vacant, any of which he might have
had; but he declined the promotion, on the ground that he
wanted the necessary qualifications.—Scotsman.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-Yesterday a Court of Di-
rectors of the East India Company was held at the India
House, which was attended by nearly the whole of the Direc-
tors, for the purpose of considering the appointment of a pro-
per person to fill the high office of Governor-General of India,
in the place of Lord William Bentiuck. The Court sat in
deliberation for a much longer period than usual, the Directors
not separating until nearly half-past five o'clock. The Noble
Lord named by the Government to the Court of Direcors for
the office of Governor-General was Lord Heytesbu .y, and af-
ter much deliberation the Court of Directors, unanimously, as
is u,Lierstood, agreed to appoint that Noble Lord to Lie high
office.
.1";:e appointment will be forwarded to the Board of
Control, and air
."r that necessary duty has been perforn.ed, the
Noble Lord will be s"7,:z.srn in at the India House. It has been
currently stated that a spieiclid entertainment would lipvc been
given last evening by the East Company on the occasion
of the appointment of his Lordship. The statement Ni as at
least premature, as the entertainments ZPillally given by the
Court of Directors on any high appointments 'n Indi t do not
take until the parties destined to fill them are swot..." h.

• The abundance of unemployed capital seems, 114.
:Any-
thing, to be on the increase from day to day, some of the leaa-
ing brokers, who were accommodated with loans at the rate of
per cent., having difficulty in placing the money well at such
a rate above that as would compensate for the trouble of ma-
nagement. This state of things give a support to ail public
securities, which almost makes their value, for the time, inde-
pendent of political events, at least of the common incidents of
the day, which under other circumstances would not fail to make
some impression.

Ma. BULWER'S PELHAM.—The embellishments
of the second and concluding volume of the cheap and beauti-
fully illustrated edition of " Pelham," (forming a portion of
the new and revised collection of " Colburn's Modern No-
velists,") to be ready with the Magazines on the Ist February,
will represent two of the most striking passages in the work,
viz. the discovery of the murdered body of the gambler Tyrrell,
and the death-bed revelation which Gertrude makes to Glan-
ville of the cause of her madness.

THE GREAT SNORING COMMITTEE.—It is usual
to designate Parliamentary Committees by the names of the
Bills which they sit to consider. A few years ago a Bill was
introduced into the House of Lords for enclosing lanes in the
parish of Great Snoring, in the county of Norfolk, arid was in
regular course committed to a Select Committee. It is some-
times a practice 'to move that on a Select Committee all the
Lords who attend it shall have voices ' • and Lord Eldon then
Lord Chancellor, one day rose with the greatest gravity and
said, " I request your Lordships' attention to the motion lam
about to put ; it is, that all the Lords who attend the Great
Snoring Committee shall have voices."
M. Armand Marrast, the editor of the Tribune, at

BRISTOL.—Our z cpresentative, P. J. Miles, Esq.,
has been suffering under indisposition during some days of the
past week ; but he is now nearly recovered. We mention this
to allay any apprehension that his illness might prevent him
from taking his seat at the commencement of the session.—
Bristol Paper.

From the report of the proceedings of the institute
of France, we learn that fifty-seven memoirs forwarded by the
competitors for the Monthyon Legacy, the commission had
decided that that of B. Phillips, Esq., of Wimpole-street,
was entitled to the first place. The subject of his essay was
" A mode of curing aneurismal tumours without ligature or
the knife," by passing through the sac one, two, or more
threads of silk. Supported as this invention is by the sanction
of the Institute, we hope soon to be enabled to record its
successful adoption in practice.—Medical Gazette.
THE ASSIZES.—We regret to find that the re-
moval of the Assizes from Lancaster to Liverpool, which has
been so confidently expected to take place at the Spring Cir-
cuit, will not be carried into effect till the Summer Assizes.
This delay, we understand, is occasioned by the change in the
Ministry, owing to which some preliminary measure-, which
were necessary have not been ordered.—Liverpool Times.

CHANCERY COURT--(THI

RAVENsHAW V. HOLLIER.
The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the wl
with arguments on the appeal which had not cm

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS D.

TREVELETAN V. CHARTER.
The arguments in this part heard case were resumed to-
day, and appear likely to occupy the Court till its rising.

KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.)

FOX V. KEELT AND ANOTHER.

This was an action to recover penalties for usury. The de-
claration stated that a bill at two months' date, for a sum of
401., had been drawn and endorsed by William Newton.
When the bill became due, the plaintiff paid the defendants,
who were the holders of the bill, a sum of 51., and gave them
a renewal bill for 35/. (the balance), payable in two months.
For this forbearance, the defendants demanded and were paid
by the plaintiff a sum of 21. Is. 6d. The Jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff, and a rule had been subsequently obtained by
Mr. Hutcheson, to spew cause why the verdict should not be
set aside.

Mr. BAasTow now appeared to shew cause against the rule.
He contended the verdict had been fully borne out by the evi-
dence, although the precise day on which the usurious arrange-
ment or bargain was made had not been proved. It was only
necessary to prove that more than fivo per cent. had been
taken, and giving the opposite party the full scope of the four
months, it was evident that more than the legal interest had
been demanded and paid.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was heard in support of the rule.
This was a penal statute, and its provisions should be strictly
construed. It required that " the parties shall allege in their
declaration the time for which the forbearance has been given,
and the day on which the usurious agreement had been made,
and that this must be proved." lii the present case this had
not been done, and he therefore submitted that the verdict
could not stand.

The COURT observed that although from the whole of the
evidence it was clearly demonstrable that usury had been com-
mitted, it was equally clear that no particular day had been
proved, as was required by the Act. None of the counts had
therefore been proved, and there must be judgment for the
defendants.
