The Vice-Chancellor of England took causes to-day,
bat no case involving any point of public interest came
before his Honour. The Court will rise, for the Christ-
mas vacation, on Saturday.
(Before Sir J. K. Baum)
URC}I V. WALKER.

In this case a demurrer was put in by a witness
against being examined. The objections made by him
were stated at greater length than the Court considered
necessary, and his Honour now ordered an affidavit to be
prepared,: stating specifically what those objections were;
the affidavit to be produced in court on Friday next.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in London.)

MANONALL V. N `ALPIN.

The Court was again occupied the whole morning
with this ease; and a great number of witnesses from
Bolton, Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns, were
examined for the plaintiff, to establish that, until Brid-
son's invention (the plaintiff's patent), the diagonal or
elastic finish was given to muslin goods by hand only.
The plaintiff's case had not concluded when we went to
press.
The special jury in the next cause, Gibbs (the Lord
Mayor) v. Flight, were directed to attend to-morrow
morning.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman Woon.)
James Johnson, who had been remanded from last
session on a charge of burglary, was placed at the bar.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. lorry.
The case was fully Proved, and he was sentenced to
transportation for ten years.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
The second December session for the county of Mid-
dlesex commenced this morning at the Court-house,
Clerkenwell-green.
The calendar contained the names of 49 prisoners, of
which 46 were charged with felony, the remaining three
being misdemeanants. None of the offences charged to
the several prisoners presented any features beyond the
ordinary run of cases.
THE Cass or MRS. TYRWHITT.—After the grand
jury had retired to their room, during a conversation
which passed between the bench and the bar, several of
the Learned Counsel commented in rather forcible terms
upon certain strictures which bad appeared in some of
the daily newspapers, with respect to the charge of the
Learned Judge to the jury in summing up the evidence
adduced in the case of Mrs. Tyrwhitt, who, it will be
in the recollection of our readers, was tried for an al-
leged robbery at the Soho Bazaar, in Oxford-street, and
acquitted of the charge.
Mr. PAYNE, in allusion to a series of letters which ap-
peared in one of the morning journals, said that nothing
in his opinion could be more self-evident than that every
one of those letters, although with apparently different
signatures, were one and all emanations from the same
person.
The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said he felt quite in-
different as to any remarks which might be made upon
him elsewhere.

FORTUNE-TELLING.--A repulsive-looking woman,
named Keziah Marten, aged 33 years, was indicted for
stealing a shawl, the property of Sarah White.
This case presented the usual features of gullibility on
the one side, and of artful and cunning deception upon
the other. The prosecutrix, a remarkable pretty and
interesting-looking girl, about 17 years of age, was in
the service of a gentleman named Moore, who resided in
the neighbourhood of Old Brentford, and on the 2d of
the present month the prisoner went to Mr. Moore's
house, anti was brought by the prosecutrix into the
kitchen. The prisoner, after going through the usual
cant and legerdemain with cards, which is one of the
principal items of the stock in trade of such imposters,
demanded some money. The pour simple girl replied
that she bad only 2d. about her, which she gave to the
prisoner, who then said if the prosecutrix would have
half-a-crown for her in five days she would come back at
the end of that time and ensure her a most respectable
and " likely" young man as a husband, with a large pro-
perty. At this time the shawl was lying upon a chair
in the kitchen, and was missed almost immediately after
the departure of the prisoner.
Mr. O'BRIEN began a very lengthened address for the
defence, by stating his belief that his humble client
would havo as much justice dune to her as the aristocrat
who was decked with diamonds, and he hoped this prin-
ciple would ever pervade British Courts of justice.
Two verry respectable-looking persons gave the pri-
soneran xcellent character fur honesty and good conduct.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
The LEARNED JUDGE said he feared the prisoner was
one of those artful and thieving imposters who roamed
the country, living upon the creduli.y of young and
foolish females. He should respite judgment until the
police made further inquiries as to her means of getting
a livelihood, and if his first surmise were right, he should
most assuredly inflict a severe punishment upon her.

DEPARTURE OF THE REIGNING DUKE AND
DUCHESS OF SASE COBURG AND GOTHA.—WINDSOR,
MONDAY EVENING.—To• morrow has been appointed for
the departure, for the Continent, of her Majesty's royal
and illustrious visitors the Duke and Duchess of Saxe
Coburg, and the Duke Ernest of Wurtemberg, with their
respective suites. The Duchess of Saxe Coburg and
Gotha was suffering severely during the whole of yester-
day from the effects of a violent cold, which was caught
by her Royal Highness during the royal visit to the
Smithfield Club Cattle Show, on Saturday. Her Royal
Highness to.-day is somewhat better. The departure of
her Majesty's distinguished guests to-morrow will de-
pend in a great measure upon the state of her Royal

on Saturday afternoon from visiting the Queen at
Windsor Castle. In the evening the Right Hon. Baronet
received the Bishop of Lichfield and a party of the local
clergy at dinner. Yesterday (Sunday) the Right Rev.
l'relate preached at Tamworth Church to a crowded con-
gregation, Sir Robert and Lady Peel and family, the
Right Hon. W. Yates and Lady Jane Peel and family,
and most of the neighbouring gentry attending the ser-
vice. Dr. Buckland has arrived at the manor on a visit
to Sir Robert Peel.
LIE NEW RorAL EXCHANGE. Yesterday the
boarding which was at the east end of the New Royal
Exchange, and which obstructed the communication be-
tween Cornhill and Threadneedle street, was removed,
and the thoroughfare opened for the public. As soon
as it was generally known vast numbers of persons
passed to and fro, thus avoiding Finch-lane. Great pro-
gress has been made with the erection of the houses
facing the east end, and in a few works there will be a
free passage. The opening will take place to-morrow
(Wednesday) forenoon, the interior of the merchants'
area being completed. Lloyd's rooms are not yet com-
pleted, workmen being still busily engaged in fitting up
the usual tipartments.
If report may be credited, and we hope, in this
case, it will be found correct, the two daughters-iu7law
of a Noble Duke, whose name England most wishes to
preserve' are in a state which bids fair to gratify this
desire. Thiseintelligence will, we are sure, give universal
