YACHT CLUB.

Cowes, mAy 28.—The KING, it Ts understood,
intends resuming his sailing pursuits within and
round the Isle of Wight, about the 20th of next
month, preparatory to the Royal 'excursion to
Dublin. Ills Majesty's favourite yacht, the
RoNal George, whose sailing vies with that of
the fleetest frigate, is under immediate, equipment,
and will, in a few days (as last year), receive
the broad s pendant of Commodore Sir Charles
Paget.—The. King's Pavilion at West Cowes is,
at present, occupied by the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Anglesey and family, his Lordship
having already commenced his cruising for the
season in that superlatively-beautiful yacht, the
Pearl.—The vessels of the Royal Yacht Club
now afloat, besides Lord Anglesey's, are— •
Sir Arthur Paget's Union - - - 45 Tons.
Sir George Thomas's Eliza , - - 34
Colonel Shedden's Lord of the Isles - 45

Mr. HOliday's - Lady of the Lake - ,
Mr. Weld's - - Charlotte - - 66
Mr. James Weld's Julia - - 43
Mr. Wardell's - Elizabeth - - 19
Captain Symond's Admiral Cornwallis 22
Mr. Lindegren's - Dove . - 55
Mr. Swinton's - Louisa - - 24
Mr. Sloper's - Wellington - - 36
The yachts in ordinary here, and fitting out,
are—

Lord Grantham's Mermaid - 41 Tons.
The Hon. C.A. Pelham's Falcon - - - 181
r - Arid - 71
Mr. I'. A. Smith launches next week, at
Hastings, a fine new yacht of SO tons, of improved
construction and model ; and two new cutter-
yachts, of 80 tons each, were a few days since
completed by Air. Grenier, at Southampton, for
Lord Willoughby de Broke, and Mr. Maxee.—
On the 10th April, the Transit yacht, 231 tons,
with her owner, the Ilon. George Vernon, and
family on board, was at Malta, expecting to sail
in a few days for England. This vessel was
built under the direction of Mr. Gore, is
schooner-rigged,with three masts, singular in her
model, and with an even keel. The predictions
at starting were against her sailing ; she has
eclipsed every vessel she has competed with in
the Mediterranean.

THE LATE MR. 'LIAR:um—In consequence of
the termination of the charge against Mrs. Har-
mer, Mr. Bunny, the Overseer of St. Olave's
Parish, waited yesterday on the friends of the
deceased, and gave up possession of the premises,
which he held in the King's name since the fatal
catastrophe. From a variety of circumstances,
it is strongly suspected that Mr. Harmer, for
some months previous to his death, was labour-
ing under the influence of mental derangement,
and even premeditated his own destruction.—
Mrs. Harmer, the unfortunate, though innocent
instrument of her husband's death, still resides
at the house of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dela-
hunt, at Maze Pond. Her health is much im-
paired, and whenever by accident the name of
her departed husband is mentioned in her hear-
ing, she evinces the most poignant distress.
MEL ANCHOLY SUICIDE.-•--- Yesterday evening,
about eight o'clock, the family of Mr. Marshall,
linen-draper of Cranbourne-alley, were thrown
in a state of the greatest alarm, by Mr. Marshall
running down stairs exclaiming, " I have cut my
throat." The clerks in the shop ran to his as,
sistance; he had fallen on the stairs ; on being
lifted up he appeared quite dead, his throat be-
ing cut from ear to ear in a shocking manner.
No cause has as yet been assigned for the com-
mission of the rash act. Mr. Marshall was much
respected throughout the neighbourhood,

LAW INTELLIGENCt.

COURT OP CHANCERY, MAY 29.

THE EAItL 01' WESTIZEATH V. TYE COUNTESS OF WEST.:

MEATH.

JUDGMENT.

. . ,
The Lout,. CTIKNCEL-LOR, on coniing-into Court this day,
proceeded to give judgment in this cause, which has already
fully appeared on the respective applications made to the Court.
His Lordship commenced by reading over the allegations con-
tained in the Bill, and such parts of the =ewer as bore more
immediately on the': major points to be decided. The bill in
nuestion lie observed was filed by the Noble Plaintiff against
tile Countess of- Westaireath and. several other defendants,
among whom were the trustees of the Countess, and it prayed
that two certain indentures might be ordered to be delivered
up ; the one bearing date the 18th December, 1817, and the
other the 13th of May, 1818, or that they might be set . aside ;
but, in the event of the Court being of opinion that they ought
not to be delivered up, the bill prayed that the Court would
decide on what sum was to be paid to the Countess of West-
meath, and the other parties earned in the pleadings. The pre-
sent question did not come before his Lordship on the hearing
of the case, but on a motion for an injunction, end, as he had
before stated, referred principally .to the delivering up of
the deeds in question. On the part nI the plaintiff' it
was contended, that if the deeds were not delivered up,
they ought to be cancelled, as they had been obtained by
undue means, while, on the other side, the contrary was
as strongly maintained. - What he had, therefbre, now to
observe must be confined • to the nature of -the deeds them-
selves. His Lordships then noticed the respective covenants of
the deeds in question—nanielyn the provision or 3CP9I. per an-
num to the Countess of 'Westmeath, in the case of her surviving.
the Earl ; that relative to the disputes that had taken place be-
tween the noble parties—the agreement
.to live apart—the pro-
vision to be'nlatle. for the children, in the event of an amicable
subsequently taking place, and any consequent in-
crease beyond the daughter then living ;- as also the covenant re-
lative to Mr. Sheldon, and that respecting the Countess, finding it
inconvenient to live with her husband, which gave Mr.- Sheldon
the power of raising such sums, as should be agreed on, for her,
maintenance, by rent charges. Another covenant entered into
was, that the child then existing, or any that might be born
after. should, in the event of a separation, reside with their
mother, and that she should haVe the .whole and sole command
of their education, &c.; anti that Mr. Sheldon should.have.the
like powers to raise a sufficient sum on the rent charges to de-
fray the expellee of their- maintenance. The deed thuS, ob-
served his Lordship,- contemplated a separation ; but the
question was, whether or not,. in the event of the pardes
again coining together, the deeds were to be void ; or, • whe-
ther they were only to be suspended during the time they
lived together, and in the event of another separation, to be.
again in force ? The separation, however, it. was also 'cove-
nanted, was to take place only in the: event of gross abuse or
ill-usage on the part or the Noble Plaintiff towards his
After some further observalions on the law and equity of the
case, his Lordship said this was not a bill filed by the Countess
pfWestmeath, to carry the deeds into execution, but on the
port of the Earl to have them delivered'up ; and looking- at all
the cases, some of which he.quoted, that had preceded the pre-
sent, his -Lordship could . not express any other opinion
than that the law of the country precluded a husband and
wife from entering into any binding agreement that would ab-
solve them from their duty as parents. His Lordship then again
adverted to various cases which bore on the present question,
and observed, that it was very difficult to settle documents such
as the present. Though it might be the policy of the law to.
hold that they were void, yet what was there in, the present case
to say that their were void in equity, without their validity being
'tried --in one of the Courts below ? In this view of the case his
Lordship saw no reason why the present question ought not to
be, decided by an issue. His Lordship, after taking a lumin-,
ous view of the whole case, decided that sthe parties should try
the question at law, with liberty afterwards to apply teithe court.
A,conversation then took place relative to the suit ,noly pend-
ing in the Ecclesiastical Court, for the restoration of chnjugar
rights, in the ccurse of which Mr. Blake observed, that the
Countess of Westmeath intended to meet the suit there..

The LORD CIIAIICELLOR said, if the-deeds in question were.
good for any thing they would enjoin a suit in that Court. His
.Lordship in answer to the observations of the respective Coun-
sel, said he would snake no order as to the Injpnction, but the
parties, if they thouOt fit, mighty after the issue, had been tried;
again apply to the Court. .

EDINBURGH, MAY 20.—The Dalmahoy troop of yeomanry
cavalry assembled on Selem Moor, on Friday the 18th inst,
and afterwards marched to head-quarters. At a dinner given
there, and after the cloth was removed, they presented JOHN
Esq. of Redhall, their 'Captain,lwith a punch-bowl,
having a suitable inscription.. .On this occasion Serjeant BAU-
CHOP addressed the Captain in these terms
" Captain Inglis—Tne task which has devolved upon me
of putting into }oar hands this bowl, presented by the non-
commissioned officers and privates of the Dalmahoy troop, in
testimony of their esteem for you'as an officer and a gentleman,
is very gratifying to my feelings. Sir, from having been in
this troop for the period of twenty-two years, during which I
have maintained an intimate acquaintance with all its members,
I am able to affirm, that there is not one man in the corps who
does not see and admire your independence, ID standing forth to
maintain the.character of our party ; and your personal charac-
ter has so endeared you to them, that they all, join in
the fond wish and hope that length of days may be granted
you, and rendered happy by that blessing which is obtained
only by those who regard the nation's peace and safety
as much as their own.—To you, Sir, it may occasion some sur-
prise that you are presented with a bowl instead of a sword.;
but the glitz of the country -will explain it : For swords, it-is
hoped, we shall have no employment in, this country for a long
period, but, on .the contrary, our wish is, that they may all be-
come rusty as old nails, and blunt as plough-shares.—
The • spiiit of radicalism, we are glad to think, which-
some time hovered over the country, is now dispelled ;
and even when it existed, one of us only, as far as
I know, had to whct his blade for the day of ministe-
rial vengeance. INISy the wild republican spirit of France re-
main at rest for ever ; and may the radicals of our own country
see the folly of their absurd schemes.—But to conclude,_ Sir,
may you long enjoy that respect • which we, and all who know
you, ent,:rtain for yOu ; and should the time ever arise when
our country shall requ!re-our active services, we shall gladly
follow the leader who commands our affeCtions, either to con-
quer or die." _ _ _ _ _

This address was received in the most handsome and grate-
ful manner by the Captain, who made a full and suitable reply.

The Duke of Itoxnue,an has lately purchased
the Berry Moss, for the purpose of forming it
into a race course. As far as we have been in-
formed of the Duke's intentions, he means to
erect an elegant racing-stand upon the ground,
with a tavern underneath, and in all respects to
make the course and its accompaniments as com-
pete as possible.—( S'coich Paper.)
PEnriTRIAN LAwy E113.-The sporting world
in the City are all alive to the great match made
by two Solicitors, who have engaged for a bet of
200 guineas to go between them 100 miles in 24
hours, in ail June next. They are both remark-
ably healthy men, but past their climacterick.
The betting at present is six to four on time.

MARVELLOUS SPO RT ING ANECDOTE.—A few
days since as a gentleman of Newton Abbott was
f►shing in the River Teign, he hooked a salmon
wliich could not have weighed less than 2.51b5. ;
after playing with the fish for nearly an hour and
a quarter, another salmon about the same size
seized the other fly, and both together broke the
line. They sw am with great velocity down the
stream, and the line got entangled in a stake in
the river. The gentleman plunged into the
water, which nearly reached his chin, and suc-
ceeded in securing both the fish. What is more
extraordinary, the latter fish had followed the
other closely from the time it was hooked.

Pins were brought from France in 1543, and
were first used in England by K Ho-
WARD Queen of ITENay VIII. Before that in-
vention both sexes used ribbons, loop-holes, laces
with points and tags, clasps, hooks and eyes, and
skewers of brass, silver, and gold.

Accounts have been received of the arrival of
the following convict ships at New South Wales
'and Van Diemen's Land, with the number of
convicts against their names, expressed, without
the loss of a single life :—Lord Wellington, with
123 female convicts; Morley, with 118 female
convicts ; ' Caledonia, with 150 male convicts;
and the Guildford, with 190 male convicts, in-
cluding the Cato-street conspirators.
