On Friday last there was a meeting of the
Members of the Common Council of the Dublin Corpora-
tion, when it was resolved to disfranchise Mr. Secretary
STANLEY. It was extremely wrong in their Honours
thus to censure a gentleman, who seems better suited for
the office of their "sword-bearer," or "messenger," than
that which the Whigs have assigned him. —Dublin Morn-
ing Register.

STEAM-BOATS.---It appears by a recent de-
cision in the Court of King's Bench, that if the steersman
of a steam-boat, by carelessly coming too near another
vessel. thereby sinks her, owing to the swell of the water,
the proprietors of the former are liable, although there
should he no actual contact.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The transactions
effected in Cotton to-day amount to 2.500 balrs, at last
week's quotations, and comprise 300 Brazils; Bahias, 61d.
to 74-d. ; Maranhams, '7ld. to S I. ; 600 S'urats, 43:(1. ;
and 1,500 in American descriptions, from 60. to 71-d.

GANIE.—We understand that grouse arc
exceedingly abundant in the Perthshire Highlands this
season, and also that black game and partridges are as nu-
merous as ever they were seen. As for hares, complaints
are heard in every place from the fartn,,rs of the destruc-
tion occasioned by them in the corn fields. Should the
grouse escape those diseases that attack theta occasionally
and carry them off in great numbers, sportsmen may cal-
culate on excellent sport. From their having met with
no interruption during the season of incubation, the birds
promise to be in fine condition by the 12th of August.
and to leave fewer cheepers amongst them than has been
the case for some years. It is a remarkable fact that,
notwithstanding this abundance of birds, there has been
more moor burning this season than there has been for a
good number of years back ; a circumstance well deserv-
ing the consideration of both proprietor and tenant, as it
has been more than suspected that plenty of heather will
not always secure plenty of birds; but, on the contrary,
that a regular rotation of moor-burning is as beneficial to
the birds as it is to the sheep.—Perth Courier.

THE LATE STORM.—The tremendous storm
of Thursday se'nnight did much damage in its course over
this county. Several windmills were struck and injured,
particularly those of Mr. LIVING, of Chesterford, and Mr.
WEBB, of Thaxted. At Audley End and Littlebury,
great number of panes of glass were broken; large trees
were blown down, and many acres of corn were laid. In
Norfolk the eff ct was still more serious. In the neigh-
bourhood of Langley Park, a hurricane arose similar to that
which a few months ago ray iged the grounds of Thorn-
don Hall, in this county. Scarcely a tree in Langley
Park escaped uninjured, many of them being broken off
within a few yards of the ground. The neighbouring
village also suffered much. At Diss, a large barn was
blown down ; and the rectory barn and two stacks of hay,
at Palgrave, were fired by the lightning and destroyed.
At North Walsham, a workshop, in the occupation of
Mr. WILLIAM HEWITT, was set on fire. At Framlingham,
nearly 1,400 panes of glass, in Mr. RIGBY'S green-house,
were hr,,lien. At Thurgarton, a sow and nine pigs were
killed by lightning. At Lodden, the top of Mr. BREEZE'S
j
Mill was blown off, and his apprentice and a ourney-
man were killed.—Essex Herald.

Last evening an inquest was held before Mr.
lIIGGs, at the Coach and Horses, in Charles-street, Co-
vent-harden,
upon the body of Mr. WILLIAM PRICE, late
a chief cashier at the banking-house of Messrs COUTTS and
Co., in the Strand. It appeared in evidence that the de-
ceased had been upwards of thirty years in the banking-
house, and was of a very eccentric character. Amongst
the eccentricities related of him it was stated before the
Jury that he was in the habit of giving money prowsely to
women of the town, on his way home at night. He was
of a very plethoric habit, anti on Sunday
evening he went
to bed, but in a few hours called for assistance, and a sur-
geon came, but Mr. PRICE was quite dead. He had been
cupped the same day, and had lost upwards of thirty
ounces of blood. A nurse, who had attended him for some
time, said she saw bins into bed " quite comfortable" on
the night in question, and went into the room several
times, thinking he was merely asleep ; but at length she
discovered he was quite dead. A surgeon deposed that
the deceased (lied of apoplexy, and the Jury returned a
verdict of " Died by the visitation of God.

DISTRESSING CASE—uNswonTit V. WOODCOCK.

A middle aged female of very resretalsle appearance
;rod address, entered within the bar on the Lord Chancel-
lor taking his seat, and craved permission to l‘e heard
fsr one moment. Stie said, that in Unsworth v. Wood-
en k, the Solicitor-General had a few days ago, on behalf
oft or husband, applied to have the cause advanced on the
groand that her husband was dying, and that unl,ss it
c u 1 l be heard within a few days, in all human probe-
boiry he would have expired. His Lordship was so good
on that occasion as to have assented to its being advanced,
but no day had been fixed for the hearing of it, and there
was now ao appearance of its coming on speedily. Her
husband had been kept in the most painful state of litiga-
tion for the last seventeen years, and was now through the
misconduct of solicitors in the cause, just expiring tkrough
a broken heart. She herself had been attending daily for
a very long t'me in Court, in the anxious hope of finding
an opportunity to present her prayer to his Lordship, that
be would be pleased to order the thing to be heard with-
oat further delay.

The LOAD CHANCELLOR observed, that undoubtedly
this lady's case seemed to be a very urgent and disrre•sing
one, and one in which he would feel happy to afford every
ass:stance in his power.
Sir E. SUDDEN (who was the only King's C.unsel
within the Bar at the moment) joined in his expression of
egret that this lady should be a suitor in so hard r rase,
Ind was perfectly satisfied that neither be nor any or his
Learned Friends would impose the least obstacle in the
way of his Lordship's hearing the case, but, on the con-
trary, would facilitate the hearing of it at the earliest
,noment the Court might think proper to name.
The LORD CHANCELLOR requested the lady to be good
euoagh to attend in his private room at one o'clock, whtn,
in all probability, an arrangement would he made (through
his Secretary) for the immediate hearing and disposal of
her cue.
