•WRITS Or ERROR.—
Shortly before Mr. Baron
Parke took his seat in the Court of:Exchequer• yesterday,
Lord Denman, Lord Chief-Justice Tindal, the Lord Chief
Baron, Mr. Baron Alderson, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Baron
Gurney, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr.
Justice Cresswell entered the Court, when Lord Denman said,
‘ that the Court was now assembled as a Court of Error,but
from various circumstances the Court was compelled to make
an alteration in the present arrangement for the sittings. Op
the sth and 6th of July the Court would sit to take writs of
error from the Court of Exchequer; but there was much un-
certainty as to whether the Court would be able to hear any
of the cases in error from the Courts of Queen's Bench and
Common Pleas. It might, however, probably, be better that
the usual days should be appointed at all events, if it were
only as a matter of form. The days, then, on which the
Court would sit in error would be the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, fith,
and 6th of July. The eases from the Queen's Bench would
stand for the Ist and 2d of the month, thaw from the Common
Pleas for the 3d and 4th, whilst those from the Court of Ex-
chequer would be for the sth and 6th, the present understand-
ing being that none of the cases would come on excepting
those from the Exchequer. If it should so chance that they
Were able to make a Court so as to take the cases from the
Queen's Bench and the Common Pleas, due notice should hr
given to the officers of the Court. At present, however, it
was anticipated that the attendance of the Judges would be
required in another place."

and topography of England and Wales, and is illus-
trated by a vast number of wood cuts. These gene-
rally represent some remarkable building or natural
curiosity in a particular county or district, and many

there is an excellent cut of the New Royal Exchange;
in that of Devonshire a good likeness of the Devon ox,
and Yorkshire is illustrated by views of the Minster
and the town of Scarborough. It contains the po-
pulation of every town and county, according to the
last census, the number of Members returned by each
to Parliament, besides a great variety of other useful
information, and is sold at a very reasonable price--

BIDEPORD.--111ELANCHOLY AcCIDENT..--011 Mon-
day last, as Oliver Slewman, mason, and another man, named
Greenwood, a well-sinker, were employed in sinking a well
at the Bideford union workhouse, the earth gave way and
an itnmense quantity of stories, earth, and rubbish fell into
the well, completely burying the poor fellows, and it was
expected they were crushed to death. An alarm spread like
lightning through the town, and hundreds of persons rushed
to the spot to render any assistance in removing the earth,
and rescuing them from their perilous situation. Captain
Pollard, belonging to the Bideford culm mines, and several
of his men, rendered great assistance, working very hard,
and skilfully in getting down the well, and succeeded in
getting them out both alive, after being underground nearly
five hours. Slewman was taken up first, having received
very serious injury, being nearly crushed to death, and bleed-
ing from the hea profusely. He was taken home, where
several surgeons were in attendance, and we hear that he is
likely to recover. Greenwood was taken out about an hour
after, very little injured.—Western Luminary.
