THE QUEEN v. WHITTAKER.

Mr. COWLING moved for a certiorari to remove the
judgment against the defendant. This was an indict-
ment for a violation of a local Act of Parliament, the
-11th of Geo. the 4th sec. 39, which required that no
Street should be made in Manchester of less width than
eight yards. It appeared that the defendant in this
case made court of only six yards_in width, and for this

he was indicted, but he stated in his affidavit that it W 5
private property and was not a public thoroughfare. It
also stated that in order to have an impartial trial it
would be necessary to have the case tried before a judge
of assizes.—Rule nisi granted.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied the whole morning with mo:
tions of distringas and others, relating to points 01
practice.

ADMIRALTY-(THIS DAY.)
The Court sat at eleven o'clock this morning, for the
purpose of hearing cases of collision and salvage.

_
THE JANE-SALVAGE.
This was a proceeding instituted by the master and
crew of a brig called the Dolphin, against the owners of
the Jane, which was a Newcastle vessel, bound, with
coals, to the port of London, for services rendered to her
while in distress at the mouth of the Channel.
_ _

It appeared by the affidavits of the salvors that the,'
observed the Jane aground and otherwise very Much
disabled, when they bore down as close to her as they
safely could without injury to their own ship, and then
hoisted out boats, and, by the assistance of the creivt
succeeded in getting the same off. The services rendered
extended over about seven hours, and the salvors con'
tended that if the wind had at all freshened, she must
have gone to pieces ; and they also stated that they
exposed themselves to great personal hardship and dair
igen The sum claimed as salvage was 150/.
For the owners it was contended that the alleged ser'
vices were not required, and that the vessel would hale
floated with the next tide.
Eventually 70/. were awarded as salvage.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gom.Burer.)
There were a few cases put down on the paper for
hearing, but none of them were of any interest.

THE FIST ULA INFIRMARY.

_ -
A numerous and influential meeting of the sub-
scribers to this excellent institution was held at the
London Tavern, for the transaction of special
business. Sir Chapman Marshall was, in the ab-
sence of the Lord Mayor, who had to attend a
meeting of the Common Council, unanimously called
to the chair. The honorary secretary, Mr. S. B.
Merriman, read a letter from Mr. Howell, who
communicated in it his resignation as treasurer
of the charity. Mr. Howell stated he exceed-
ingly regretted that frequent absence from Eng-
land, and a feeling that he could not adequately dis-
charge the duties of his office, induced him to resign.
He, however, though officially retiring from their
valuable institution, should always feel a deep inte-
rest in its welfare, and contribute to its support.
The resignation of Mr. Howell having been ac-
cepted, and a vote of thanks passed to him for the zea-
lous and liberal assistance he had at all times afforded
the institution, it was unanimously resolved, " That
J. Masterman, Esq., M.P., be requested to accept
the office of treasurer." Mr. Masterman, in returning
thanks, raid he had, for many years past, had the
gratification of witnessing the great advantage de-
rived by the poorer classes from the Fistula Infirmary,
and the great kindness and skill of its excellent
founder and honorary surgeon, Mr. Salmon. The
chairman then stated that their esteemed friend, Mr.
Ogden, who had for the last twentyyears acted as their
honorary secretary, was about to retire into the country,
where he would permanently reside amongst his friends.
That gentleman had in consequence resigned his office,
very much to the regret ofevery friend of the institution.
The vacancy had been filled up by the Committee,
and their new honorary secretary, Mr. Merriman,
who was lending his able and active exertions in
promoting the welfare of their charity, was now
present at his post. After a warm tribute of
praise to Mr. Ogden, the cordial thanks of
the meeting were voted to that gentleman, and
it was further resolved that such vote should
be presented to him emblazoned on vellum. In
accordance with a recommendation of the Committee
of the charity, the meeting resolved that a honorary
physician to the Infirmary should be appointed. A
vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, who, in
acknowledging it, spoke in strong terms of the great
value of the Fistula Infirmary, and the great bless-
ings it had conferred upon the poorer and industrious
classes of the metropolis. The meeting then broke
up. We understand that the sum subscribed for the
purpose of presenting the founder and honorary sur-
geon of this valuable charity, Mr. Frederick Salmon,
with a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by
the friends of the Institution, already exceeds 7001.

The high price of the funds naturally causes the
value of all eligible securities for the purpose of invest-
ment to fetch proportionably high sums. This fact was
fully exemplified last week at Mr. George Robins's sale
of ground-rents at Lisson-grove, which, being freehold,
may certainly be deemed the next best security to the
funds, but, when the expenses of transfer and other con-
tingencies be considered, cannot, in our opinion, be pro-
nounced equally eligible; yet Mr. Robins was enabled
to obtain thirty-one years' purchase, thus yielding a pur-
chaser less than 3 per cent.; for, although he becomes
entitled to a reversionary interest, yet, at the remote
period of 76 years, no calculation could at present be
made for this expected advantage. The ground-rents
Amounted to 240/. a year, and sold for 7,5001. A re-
markable fact attends this sale—viz., one of the lots, the
Hope and Anchor public-house, which for 76 years pro-
duced simply a peppercorn, fetched 100 guineas ; this
sum during the period before any rent can be received
will, at compound interest, amount to the enormous
price of 4,6001., and certainly double the value of the
property.—Advertiser.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that her
Grace the Duchess of Buccleuch was safely delivered of
daughter at Dalkeith Palace on Tuesday. This happy
;vent will be the occasion of much rejoicing throughout
the wide-spread domains of the Noble Duke, the young
stranger being the first daughter of the noble pair.—

SUMMARY OF NEWS

4, Who runs may read."

ron.ErGaz.
The French mail brings no news from Paris or Madrid f
the slightest interest.
An outline of the intelligence brought by the Overland
Mail will be found under the proper head.
Boghos Youssouff Bey, Minister of Foreign Affairs and of
Commerce to Mohammed Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, died at
Alexandria, in the afternoon of the 10th instant, at the age
of about 71. He was considered the highest person in Egypt
after Mehemet Ali and his family.
By the Philadelphia packet, which reached Liverpool on
Tuesday evening, accounts have been received from St. Louis
of a most terrible and distressing steam-boat accident, by
which 90 or 100 persons had lost their lives. The vessel
which plied between Cincinnati and St. Louis struck on a
sunken tree in the water, three miles from St. Louis, and al-
most immediately went to pieces.

LAW AND POLICE.
At Guildhall, a man of the name of Davis, a journeyman
baker, was charged with the murder of his wife, by cutting
her throat with a razor, on the 11th of December. An
inquest had been held on the body, when the jury, having no
suspicion to the contrary, gave a verdict that she committed
suicide, being in a state of insanity. The evidence was con-
fined to the testimony given by the relatives of the deceased,
who considered her insane. The sitting Alderman directed
the officer to summon other witnesses, and remanded the
prisoner till Friday.
Damages were assessed in the Secondaries' Court in the
case of Litton v. Rowe. The defendant, under a misconcep-
tion arising out of a transaction about a bill for 181. 1 ls.,
caused the plaintiff to be apprehended on a charge of felony,
through which he was kept in a felon's cell, at the police
station, a whole night. The defendant admitted, by his
counsel, that he had done wrong, and the jury gave 50/.
damages.
At Union-Hall Thomas Sparks, formerly shop-keeper to
Mr. Bvfleld, pawnbroker, Kennington, was fully committed
on a charge of robbing his late employer of 411,
London, England, 1844-02-08

A SINGULAR CHARACTER.

On Wednesday last an inquest was held at the Salu•
tation, Bridge-street, Cambridge, before Mr. Cooper,
Coroner for that borough, on view of the body of
Magnus Klein, who came to the Salutation public-
house on Tuesday evening from Cottenham, and was
found dead in his bed, but warm, next morning.
Upon a post mortem examination, made by Mr. Les-
tourgeon, it appeared that the cause of death was
hemtemesis, and from the state of the liver it seemed
that the deceased had been formerly a hard drinker.
The deceased was a Swede, and was well known to Mr.
Lestourgeon, having been a patient .in the hospital for
several weeks. He was a man of very singular cha-
racter, and from the papers found on his person ap-
peared to be travelling about the country for the pur-
pose of obtaining signatures to a petition to the House
of Commons, respecting the vice of drunkenness and the
allurements of gin palaces and beer houses. On him
were also found a narrative of his life (which appears to
have been passed principally at sea), published by him
in 1837, and a list of persons on whom he intended to
call in Cambridge. A list of subscriptions to enable
him to get to London was also found in his pocket, and
several copies of the following extraordinary card :
" MAGNUS KLEIN has the honour to wait, soliciting the
favour of an interview when convenient, in order to ob-
tain signatures for submitting to Parliament a petition
signed by nearly 20,000 of the clergy, magistrates, and
most respectable inhabitants of different counties through
which he has travelled, in support of his application
(printed by order of the House of Commons), praying
the Legislature to take into serious consideration the
propriety of suppressing, as far as possible, those houses
termed gin palaces, and dram shops, which are destitute
of the requisite accommodation of tap-room and parlour,
as well as the common beer-shops throughout the coun-
try, which give such encouragement to drunkenness and
crime, and thereby materially protecting the responsible
trader.

" Mr. Klein begs leave to mention that, although he
is well known for his personal resemblance to the late
Napoleon, he is not actuated to this undertaking by any
sect or political party. He is a man of peace, and a
free agent, having journeyed through the land under
the greatest hardships, to make himself useful as a phi-
lanthropist and therefore solicits the favour of being en-
couraged and supported by the generous and benevolent
friends who delight in the performance of good works."
The jury returned a verdict of—Died by the visitation
of God.

THE HISTORY of IRELAND.
By THOMAS MOORE, Esq.
" Mr. Moore fortunately brings to his labours not only extensive
learning in the rarely trodden paths of Irish history, strict im-
partiality, rendered still more clear and uncompromising by an en-
nobling love of liberty. Every page of his work contains evidence of
research, and innumerable passages might be cited in proof of the
Independent and truth-seeking spirit of the author."—Athenteum.

COURT--FASHIONABLE.

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland left Stafford House

'orkshire, in consequence of the Noble Earl, her Grace's
father, having experienced a relapse, and become alarmingly
indisposed. The christening of the infant son of the late
Duke and Duchess, to whom Prince Albert is to stand spon-
sor, is postponed sine die, in consequence of the Duke of Saxe
Coburg's death, and Lord Carlisle's illness.
Viscount Melbourne, who has been indisposed with a cold,
at his residence in South-street, is convalescent. His Lord-
ship dined on Monday evening with the Earl of Auckland
and the Hon. Misses Eden, at Eden Lodge, Kensington-gore ;

KISSING EXTRAORDINARY.

Mr. Horson, of Dorchester, brings an action against
Miss Lydia Withington, to recover 600 dollars, the
amount of a promissory-note signed by her and payable
to his order ; and, singular as it may seem, the validity
of the note depended in part on the fact, whether
Major Samuel Withington had kissed Mrs. Horson or
not. The defendant asked exemption from payment of the
note on three grounds, to wit—l. That there was no con-
sideration given for the mite. 2. That, if there was a
consideration it was illegal. 3. That it was obtained by
fraudulent and false representations. It appeared in
evidence that there was a consideration, which was
nothing more nor less than a kiss bestowed upon plain-
tiff's wife by defendant's brother. Major Withington
described this kiss as being one of pure friend-
ship, docile in its nature, and perfectly harm-
less. It seems that the Major, who is about 65, was
in a state of peculiar anxiety in regard to the
health of a friend, and as the most feasible way of re-
lieving this anxiety he called on Mrs. Horson, an entire
stranger, of about 25, whom he I,und so interesting and
sociable as to induce him to go in and take a seat, and
pass the compliments of the season. On a further
acquaintance with her his first impressions were so
much strengthened, that on parting he ven-
tured to kiss her bewitching lips, which he said
she received with great apparent satisfaction. Coun-
sellor Clark of Roxbury', who appeared for the defence,
and who is a married man, contended that such a kiss
might be given and received in a natural way, and
without damage to either party—that it neither
hurt the person nor reputation of Mrs. Horson,
nor rendered the Major liable to be sent to the
state prison. But Mrs. Horson described the kiss as
being rough and uncivil, uncalled for by the circum-
stances of the case, unwarranted by the usages of society.
and a wanton and aggravated insult and indignity ; and
Cour. senor Wilkinson, who is a bachelor, pronounced it
an abominable outrage. Mr. Horson, on finding how
matters stood, went to Withington for satisfaction, which
he obtained in the shape of a 600 dollar note, signed by
the Major's sister, and payable in six months, which
she rehised to pay, as stated above. The jury returned
a verdict for the defendant.—Dcdham (Massachusetts)
American.

TREATMENT OF PAUPERS.

Yesterday morning a sickly-looking poor woman
came before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Ccmbe, and
handed him a letter complaining of ill treatment in the
Clerkenwell-workhouse, in which establishment she was
a pauper. - - -

COMBE instantly sent for the master of the
workhouse, Mr. Harnet. And on his arrival the woman,
in a state of exitemont bordering on frenzy, stated that
a straight-waistcoat had been put upon her in the
Clerkenwell-workhouse—that the master had used her
cruelly, and that she had been refused permission to see
her child.

Mr. Harnet denied the charge of cruelty, and stated
that the applicant had permission to see her child as
often as she pleased, and that she was continually Mi-
ning in and out of the workhouse.
The woman Did you not put a strait-waistcoat
upon me ?
Mr. Hemet admitted that a strait-waistcoat had been
put upon her, but alleged that she was so violent at the
time that he could not control her by any other means.
The woman—Did I not run away out of your work-
house because you imprisoned me there ?
Mr. Harnet said she certainly had run away, but she
would have been allowed to depart whenever she pleased
`►y merely asking leave.
Duke, the usher of the Court, said he thought from

the woman's manner and language in the waiting-room,
that she was not right in her mind.
Mr. COMBE said he was of a similar opinion ; the
worthy Magistrate, however, recommended her to be
taken back to the workhouse, and to be allowed to see
her child.

CURIOUS MANORIAL RIGHT.—At Ripley Castle,
in Yorkshire, the seat of Sir William Ingilhy, there is in the
great staircase an elegant Venetian window, in the divisions
of which, on stained glass, are a series of escutcheons, dis-
playing the principal quarterings and intermarriages of
the Ingilby family since their settling at Riplev, during
a course of 430 years. In one of the chambers of ihe tower
is the following sentence,.'carved on the frie-re of the wainscot
" In the veire of owre lA. AMIN, ivas this howse budded.
