We have reason to believe that Sir Henry Har-
dinge will be nominated to the office of Governor-
General of India, and that this appointment will take
place with the cordial approbation of the Crown and
the Court of Directors, and in consequence of friendly
concert between the authorities immediately re-
sponsible for the selection of a Governor-General.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.—On Thursday Mr•
Fitzgibbon addressed the Court, and the Lord Chief
Justice, observing that he spoke on one leg, kindly
intimated that he might speak sitting. Mr. Fitz-
gibbon at once availed himself of this favour, and
there he sat all the day long (we quote from a Tory
journal) talking at, and scolding the Learned Lord
Chief Justice for his charge to the jury, just as if
half-a-dozen speechei on the same topic had not been
delivered within the past few days. At four o'clock
Mr. Fitzgibbon was analysing the early portions of
the charge ; and from the industry he has displayed
in picking out words and sentences supposed to have
been prejudical to the traversers, it is not. likely he
will come to a close for at least another day.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY).
The Loan CIIANCELLOR took appeals to-day, none of
which possessed any points of interest, except to the parties
concerned.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY).
(Before Vice- Chancellor Sir JAMES IVlGn.t3t.)
His Honour, having disposed of the unopposed petitions
and short causes set down in the paper, proceeded to hear a
cause of Little v. Greville, a case which has often been before
the Court, and which now came before it on further directions
and costs.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY).
(Sittings in Banco.)
PARTRIDGE V. THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The plaintiff, Partridge, had given to a broker named
Wakefield, a power of attorney to receive his dividends;
according to the custom of the Blink they delivered to 'Wake-
field on the 6th April certain dividend warrants for the re-
ceipt of Partridge's dividends. These warrants became pay-
able on the Bth according to custom. On. the 7th, Wake-
field lodged these dividend warrants with Ladbrokes, the
bankers, as a security. Wakefield failed on the 7th, and
Ladbroke claimed a lien upon these dividend warrants, and
refused to deliver them to Partridge, who brought his action
against the Bank of England. The case was tried at Guild-
hall, before Lord Ilenman, and the Jury found for plaintiff.
A motion was made for a new trial, and the point for the
decision of the Court was, whether dividend warrants deli-
vered under these circumstances could be considered as nego-
tiable instruments. The case came on this morning, and the
arguments which were entirely of a technical character had
not concluded when we went to press.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY).
-(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Tilt QUEEN V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF BANGOR.
On a former occasion Mr. Jervis, Q.C., had applied to this
Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not
issue, directed to the churchwardens au d overseers of the parish
of Bangor, requiring them to pay a sum of 200/. and upwards,
the cost of a survey of the parish made by a Mr. Philips of
Coventry, by direction of the guardians of the poor, acting
under the authority of the Poor-law Commissioners. The
application was Made under the 6th and 7th William IV.,
c. 96, s. 3, which empowers the Commissioners of the poor-
law to direct the parochial officers to make a rate, or other
provision, for the purposes of paying the costs, or any portion
of the costs, of any survey they may have directed to be
made. Mr. Jervis mentioned the subject again to-day, and
argtfed it at some length ; but the discussion was of a v‘ holly
technical character. Ultimately Mr. Justice Coleridge di-
rected that a mandamus should issue.
THE LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
Mr. ANDERSON moved for a rule to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue directed to the Lord Mayor
and Corporation of the City of London requiring them to
admit Mr. D. W. Wire, an attorney, in the Lord Mayer's
Court, he being already admitted an attorney of a superior
Court. The application was exactly similar to the one made
yesterday on behalf of Mr. W. H. Ashurst, and his Lord-
ship immediately granted the application.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
No case of the least interest came before this Court this
morning. The arguments in the case of Davis v. Lowndes
were resumed, but they were altogether of a dry legal
description.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY.

(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court took the special paper to-dad•.
camEttwoop V. CASLON.

This case, which stood over for argument from the last
special.paper day, was resumed, at the sitting of the Court.
It was an actioh for criminal conversation, which had been
tried before Lord Abinger in Hilary Term, 1842, when a
verdict was had for the plaintiff. The lady is the daughter
of Mr. Abbott, the English consul at Bey-rout, in
Syria, and was married to the plaintiff at that place,
in, the presence of her father and several friends, by an
American missionary.. The defendant iis the son of the
well-known type-founder, and became acquainted with the
plaintiff's wife at the house of the plaintiff's mother. An
intimacy sprung up between the parties, which led to the
subject of the action at law. A question as to the legality
of the plaintiff's marriage with the lady had been raised, inas-
much as it had been alleged on the part of the defendant,
that the American missionary who had celebrated the mar-
riage was not in holy orders. The point was reserved for
argument, and
Mr. BARSTOW was now heard on • the part of the plaintiff.
The Learned Gentleman admitted for the purpose of his argu-
ment, that the missionary was not in holy orders, and then
contended that the marriage might not be held to be valid as
against a claimant in right, yet it was so as against a wrong
doer.
Mr. OGLE was heard on the other side.

The Court took time to consider the case.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.
(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
PRICE V LUND.
This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for certain injuries sustained by a phaeton, belonging to the
plaintiff, who is a clergyman, which he contended was caused
by a cart, driven carelesslyand negligently on the 6th of May,
1843, by the defendant, who was a baker, but is now confined
in Whitecross-street Prisi,n. The accident occurred on the

MARYLEBONE.—_(THIS DAY.)
THE MUTDEREIt DALMAL—Augustus Dabnas, the sup-
posed murderer of Sarah M‘Farlane, surrendered himself
to Sergeant Cummings at the Marylebone police station,
about 1 o'clock this morning. He was, however, for the
convenience of the numerous witnesses in the case, sent to
the 'Wandsworth station, to be examined before the magis-
trate there, without having at all appeared before Mr. Long
at this Court. It is supposed that an understanding had been
entered into to this effect, for at half-past six, A.m., Mr.
Bicknell, the superintendent of the V division, called, and in
consequence of the arrangements above alluded to, Mr.
Hughes, superintendent of the D's, sent the prisoner off in a
cab, at about five minutes before ten, safely secured by being
handcuffed to Sergeant Cummings. A constable, 203 D, also
went in the cab. A very considerable crowd had collected to
witness the departure of Dalmas. He appeared very pale
and haggard, and had evidently been unshaved for many
days. His dress, a bad suit of black, was wretchedly dirty,
as if the unfortunate man had not taken them off his person
since the period of the murder. His mental faculties ap-
peared completely blunted, and, excepting for the occasional
flashing of his eyes, a circumstance so apparent that many
of those present exclaimed, " God bless us how wild he
looks," he might be supposed to be dead to all that .was
passing 4mund him.

•
UNION HALL,(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Wise was charged before Mr. Cottingham with
furiously driving and endangering the lives of two persons,
one of whom, a boy, is now confined in the hospital, owing
to the serious nature of the injury he received.
It appeared that on the preceding evening the defendant,
with three other persons, in a gig, were observed driving
along Wellington-place at a very quick rate. When the de-
fendant, who was driving, arrived near the Waterloo-bridge,
he whipped the horse with the intention of evading the toll, and
when the • gig passed through the gate it came into
violent collision with an omnibus and was shattered to pieces,
throwing the defendant and the three other persons with
violence into the road. Two of the persons, a woman and a
boy, were most seriously injured, particularly the latter, who
was taken up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to the
hospital, where he remain's in a very precarious condition.
The woman, whose name is Ellis, was enabled to attend the
examination,' although dreadfully cut about the face and
hands, and in giving her evidence, she said that shortly
before they came up to the bridge, she implored
the defendant not to drive so fast, but he disregarded her
entreaties and continued his speed, until they came in con-
tact with the omnibus, and were all thrown out.
The defendant said that the horse took fright just before
he came to the toll-house, but this assertion was contradicted
by the toll collector, who said the defendant whipped the
horse to evade paying the toll.
Mr. CorrixGßAm said that the certificate from the hospi-
tal described the dangerous condition of the boy, and that if
death ensued the defendant would be answerable for it. The
Magistrate then said that he should remand the -defendant
until Wednesday, and as bail was offered 1:e would accept of
two sureties of 1001. each for his appearance on that day.
The prisoner's father, a wealthy cow-keeper at Chelsea,
having given the required sureties, the defendant was dis-
charged.
