BRIGHTON, JULY B.—Two young gentle-
men, Lord R. and Mr. N., were brought before the sit-
ting Magistrate yesterday, for a youthful but at the same
time inconsiderate frolic, that of mounting the dickeys of
two of the hackney fly-carriages, and starting for a race on
tae public road, to the alarm and danger of many of his
Majesty's liege subjects. Lord R. smiled, at the novelty
of his situation perhaps, for which he received a rebuke.
His Lordship professed respect for the Bench, but could
discover nothing wrong in his laugh. He was again re-
buked ; " Well, I shall not press the matter," was his
Lordship's final reply. The complaint preferred having
been proved, his Lordship and friend were fined 5/. each
and costs.

ANCIENT AND HONOURABLE LUMBER
'TROOP.-The Members of the Troop held their annual
festival on Tuesday at White Conduit House, Peni:onville.
About two hundred sat down to dinner. Mr. R. TAYLOR
(their Colonel) in the Chair, supported by the respective
officers of the Troop. After several toasts—the health of
Mr. HENRY HuN'r was drunk, ant! that Gentleman in re-
turning thanks said he would not deceive them, but tell
them openly and candidly, why he attended on the occa-
sion—it was to secure their votes at the ensuing election
for Common Councilmen for the Ward of Farringdon
Without—(Load laughter.) The company sepa►ated
highly gratified with the entertainments of the day.

Di. ANDREW DUNCAN, sen., Professor of
Theory of Medicine in the University of Edinburgh, and
first Physician to his MAJcsnr for Scotland, terminated a
long life of indefatigable and useful exertion, on the morn-
ing of Saturday the sth inst., at the advanced age of 83
years--Edinburv.i. Observer.

A boat, on the principle of the steam-vessels,
plies between Lewes and Newhaven regularly, being pro-
pelled by paddles, with the assistance of two dogs in a
tread-wheel, and a man at a winch. On Sunday last no-
tice was given that in the afternoon an excursion would be,
made up the river ; numbers immediately booked their
places, and at the appointed time the boat left the bridge.
A considerable number of persons were on the banks to
witness this novelty. We understand several boats are
about to be made on the sam e principle. —Brighton Gazette.

circumstances adduced, the Jury returned a ver-
dict of murder against her husband NICHOLAS BAKER,
aged 71 years, who was committed to Fisherton gaol for
trial.—Bath Chronicle.

AWFUL THUNDER STORM.--Castlebar and
its vicinity was visited by a dreadful thunder storm on
Monday last, which, for violence, was seldom, if ever,
equalled. Hailstones and large flakes of ice, with heavy
rain, came showering
down in torrents, and swelled the
mountain floods to such an extent as to carry off cattle of
every description in its overwhelming course. A woman
and her son were struck by the lightning at Breafy—the
former was killed on the instant—the latter, though dread-
fully scorched, is recovering ; and what is not a little
singular, they were in separate houses at the time of the
Wegerri huminarY•

COURT OF CHANCERY.
BROWN V. DE TASTET.
Mr. lIORNE wished to recal his Lordship's atten-
tion to the decision he had delivered in this case,

he
.had
the
d 0 18,000.
His reversing Lord Eldon's order, directing the defend-

i‘alilasttheer
Steele had reported a very large sum to be due from
the defendants; that report
was excepted to on the
principle of it. The Court directed the report to be re-
viewed by Master Courtenay, and lie found about half
the sum to be due. This report was also excepted to
'upon the principle, and yet Lord Eldon had ordered
into Court 18,000/. under this report, which. his
Lordship could by ao means understand. After all
he had heard and been able to collect from the most
careful perusal of the papers, he had not been able
to satisfy his mind that any particular sum Would be,
ultimately due from Mr. De Tastet, and, therefore,
he was obliged to discharge the order.
IN THE MATTER OF ASHBY-DE-LA-ZOUCH SCHOOL.
His LORDSHIP had looked into the affidavits.—
Mr. Curtis, the master of the school, came here
making a complaint and throwing imputations on
the trustees of the charity. Those imputations
were by no means substantiated. The conduct of
the trustees seemed to have been perfectly correct,
and, consequently, the Court felt bound to dismiss
the application with costs, against Mr. Curtis.

IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOUTH.

Mr. PEPYS stated, that in consequence of the
order made by the Ecclesiastical Court, it was ne-
cessary to have the opinion of this Court upon a
payment that was ordered to be made to Lady
Portsmouth before the judgment of the Ecclesiasti-
cal Court was pronounced, but which had not been
made, and his present application was to have an
early day appointed for that purpose.
His LORDSHIP named Saturday.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
INJUNCTION.
FRADELLF. V. WELLER.

In this case an injunction was granted to restrain
the defendant, a printseller, from publishing or ex-
posing to sale engraved copies of the following
pictures :--" Belinda at her Toilette," " Leicester's
visit to Amy Robsart," and " Chatillon singing to
Mary, Queen of Scots."
Mr. KEENE, in support of the application, stated
that the three pictures in question were painted by
Mr. Fradelle, the artist, who, in his affidavit de-
clared, that he never conveyed his property in the
pictures to the defendant, or authorized him to pub-
lish engraved copies of them.

THE TRUSTEES OF THE IRITISII MUSEUM V. WHITE.

The remainder of the clay was occupied in hear-
ing arguments upon an application for a new trial in
this case. The question at issue is the validity of a
will conveying certain real property to the Trustees
of the British Museum. The Jury in the Court
below found for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Bosanquet
and Mr. Parker applied to-day for a new trial on the
part of the defendants.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL appeared to oppose
the motion.

HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES.
THE ACORN.

This was a question of collision between two ships
at sea, brought before the Delegates, on appeal from
the Court of Admiralty. The facts were, that the
ship Acorn, bound for the port of Sunderland, sailed
from Shoreham, in October, 1824; and as she was
proceeding on her voyage, came, on the 24th of that
month, within sight of the ship Killingbeck, sailing
in an opposite direction. In consequence of an un-
fortunate mismanagement in steering the Killing-
beck, she struck the Acorn on her middleships, and
sunk her. The crew, however, by seizing hold of the
other vessel with great difficulty escaped. A suit was
instituted by the owners of the Acorn against the
owner of the Killingbeck, to recover the damages
sustained through this occurrence, and the case
having come before Lord Stowell, he pronounced
against the owner of the Killingbeck, and condemned
him in damages and the costs of the pro•;-:edingi.
Against this judgment the present appeal was taken,
and came on to-day for argument before Mr. Justice
Ilolroyd, Mr. Justice Burroughs, and the other
Commissioners of the Court of Delegates. The
King's Advocate and Mr. Campbell were Coun-
sel for the appellants, and Mr. Pollock and Doctor
Lushington for the respondents.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

POWER V. EDWARD 3.

This was an action for an assault. The defendant
is a publican, residing in Brick-lauc, Whitechapel.
On the 23d of November last the plaintiff went into
the defendant's house, and placed a boa constrictor
and a rabbit, which he took out of a box, on a
table in the tap-room for the amusement of the com-
pany. The defendant was not pleased with this ex-
hibition, and after rudely warning the unfortunate
naturalist to begone, he seized him by the collar,
dragged him out of the bar, and gave him several blows
some of which were so violent that one of the plain-
tiff's ribs was broken, and he was obliged to re-
main under the care of a surgeon for three weeks.
The surgeon proved that one of the plaintiff's
ribs was broken and two injured.
The defence set up was that the plaintiff was
noisy and turbulent, and that when he refused to
leave the room the defendant called in a watchman
and had him removed with as little violence as pos-
sible. The broken rib was said to have been the
consequence of a fall in the street, as it was alleged
that the plaintiff was in a state of intoxication.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501.

LONDON UNIVERSITY.--It is tOlderSiOod
that Mr. HUMPHREYS, the authur of a distinguished work
upon the law of real property, which has recently attracted
much of the public attention, has promised to give a few
occasional lectures on subjects connected with his writings to
the class of English law, at the particular request of Mr.
AMOS, the professor of that branch. We collect from the
statement lately published by the Council, that to attend
any of the classes, it is not necessary to become a member
of the University, or to participate in the examinations,—.-
a regulation which will open the doors of the lecture-rooms
to many who, although desirous to obtain the information
conveyed in the lectures, would not choose to submit to the
System to be followed by those who arc " in statu pu-
pillari."

Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India
House for the determination of the following question,
viz. :—" That the Court of Proprietors fully approve of
the measures adopted by the Court of Directors in bring-
ing the case of an abuse of patronage before a legal tribu-
nal ; and although Captain PRESCOTT appears to have acted
incautiously and imprudently, yet having been acquitted
by the verdict of a Jury of the charge preferred against
him, and the Proprietors being al-4) satisfied that he was
not actuated by any corrupt motive, they are not disposed
to withdraw their confidence from him as a member of the
executive body." At six o'clock the glasses were closed
and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the question
to be decided in the affirmative.

WATCH-HousE.—Last night, about 11 o'clock,
ANOTHER DREADFUL DEATH IN -A
a young
man, apparently about 22 years of age, very respectably
attired, was taken to the watch-house of St. Clement
Danes, in Portugal-street, Clare Market, charged by three
boys with assaulting them under atrocious circumstances.
The charge was taken by WILLIAMS, the night constable,
ge a
and the fellow was put in a cell by himself. The door of
,in
a m
the lock-up was not opened till this morning, when it was
discovered that the prisoner was suspended by a silk hand-
kerchief from the top of the deor. He was cut down, but
life was extinct, he was quite cold. We have been in-
formed that the deceased was most respectably connected.
This is the second case of the same nature that has occurred
this week. The body has been removed to the workhouse
for a Coroner's Inquest.
