(LEFT SPEAKING)

NAVAL STORES.—A new form of bond has been
instituted and approved, to be entered into by parties re-
moving goods and merchandise of various kinds from the
bonding warehouses of the docks to her Majesty's ships of
war, for the use of the officers, as their stores. The form of
bond, after mentioning that a party is bound by a certain
sum, to be speciffed, to her Majesty, her heirs, &c., sets forth
that he is the proprietor of the goods, &c., subsequently
mentioned, and which are lodged and deposited in a ware-
house or warehouses in the port of London, under the regula-
lations of an Act passed in the 3d and 4th years of Wm. IV.,
entitled, " An Act for the Warehousing of Goods," and that
the said party intends to remove and convey the said articles
from the warehouses mentioned, and to put the same on
board a certain ship, being one of her Majesty's ships of
war, for the use of certain of the officers of such ship, sub-
ject to the rules, regulations, and restrictions in that be-
half by law provided, and pronounces the condition of this
bond or obligation to be such, that if the said goods, stores,
and merchandise, and every part thereof, shall be duly deli-
vered, without alteration or diminution, on board her Majo,ty's
ship of war, the name of the ship and the pert at which she is
lying being distinctly stated, and if a certificate, signed by the
proper officer or purser of the ship, shall be produced within
fourteen days from the date thereof to the collector and comp-
troller of customs, certifying that the said goods have been de-
livered into the custody of the proper officers on board the ship,
then the bond or obligation is to be void, otherwise to remain
in full force, vigour, and effect. It is understood that this
form of bond simply applies to contracts for the supply of
stores for the use o' her Majesty's ships of war from the bond-
ing warehouses of the docks, for the use of the officers of such
ships when in commission or otherwise, and not in respect of
goods quarterly contracted for, and supplied to her Majesty's
victualling yard at Deptford, for the general use of the naval
department.
FATAL CHAISE ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr.W.
Payne held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the
body of Wm. Staines, aged 43, a carver and gilder, of Charles-
street, Hoxton. On Monday night last, between nine and ten
o'clock, a gentleman named Coburn was driving a four-wheeled
chaise, drawn by one horse, aceqmpauied by Mr. Pryor, a
surgeon, through Pitfield-street, Hoxton, on their road from
Edmonton, when the horse, which was given to shying, took
fright at something in the road, and before Mr. Coburn could
pull him up, the chaise came in contact with a cab, by which
Mr. Coburn and his friend were thrown out, and the horse,
which had broken away from the chaise, ran against the
deceased, who was passing along the pavement, and threw him
violently to the ground, and fractured several of his ribs. He
was removed to the above hospital, in which he expired the
same night, from injury to the lungs, caused by the accident.
Verdict, " Accidental death," with a deodand of 151. upon the
horse.

CRICKET.—TILE GENTLEMEN OF SURREY V. THE
PLAYERS OF SURREF.—Many years have passed away since
Surrey, as a county in its own district, has been heard of;
indeed, the only occasion when it has been brought into the
field of late was last season at Lord's v. the Marylebone Club.
But then it was not Surrey alone. The present match, there-
fore, has been got up as the first step towards the foundation
of a Surrey club. The gentlemen, yesterday, when they
had assembled on the new ground, Kennington-oval, found that
they were unexpectedly short of two or three members of their
eleven, in consequence of the compulsory absence of Mr. Pon-
soriby and Mr. Randolph. The numbers were consequently
made up by as many members of the Montpelier Club, which
meets at this ground. The match was commenced by the
Gentlemen. The score was as follows when the stumps were
drawn for the day : —The Gentlemen, 127; the Players, 16.
StiooKurso Mußomßs AT VIENNA.—A letter from
the capital of Austria, dated August 9, says :—" Two exe-
crable crimes have, within this last fortnight, been committed
in this city and the environs. Two days ago a couple of
hussars, attracted by the seeming wealth of an old Jew, waylaid
him on the high-road, and strangled him ; but found their
booty to amount only to the paltry sum of 31 florins (about 3/. )
The next morning the booty was found, and suspicion falling
on the two hussars, they were arrested. On the same day a
journeyman watchmaker was taken for the murder of an old
man, a septuagenarian. It seems the old man was in the habit
of wearing some articles of jewellery, of slight value, but suffi-
cient to attract the cupidity of the murderer, who found means
to intro.fuee himself into the room occupied by the old man,
killed him, and, seizing some objects of value, endeavoured to
effect his escape. The cries of the deceased had, however,
been heard by a woman dwelling in the same house, who gave
the alarm, and the police arriving, the murderer was seized
almost on the threshold of the room of his victim."— Condi-
tutionnel.

A cemetery is about to be formed at Dudley, in
Wolverhampton-street, Worcester. The ground, comprising
part of the ields and gardens between there and the Castle
bounds, in extent about ten acres, with a frontage of 100 yards
to the main street, is given by Lord Ward.
EXETER.—Native silver ore, of a very rich qua-
lity, has recently been discovered in the East Coombe Silver
and Lead Mine, in the parish of Stembridge, in this county ;
and the prospects generally are very fiatfering.—Sherborhe
Journal.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER )
JOSEPH P. WILLER.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 121. 10s. 6d.
on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be
the acceptor. The defendant, v, ho resides at Clewer-lane,
Windsor, pleaded that he did not accept the bill, but did not
appear to support his plea.
George Winter Roberts, the drawer of the bill, deposed that
he was present when the defendant signed his acceptance.
The SECONDARY said that their could not be a doubt as to
the fact of the acceptance bring that of the defendant, notwith-
standing the plea. As the law now stood there ham pleas were
rather dangerous.
Mr. BUCHANAN, the plaintiff's solicitor claimed a verdict
for the bill, interest, and noting.
The Learned SECONDARY said that the noting could not be
allowed when a plea was put on the record, though the de-
fendant did not attend ; unless the noting was proved it would
be different on a mere inquiry.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount of the bill and
interest.
This was the only case on the paper.

BANKRUPTC Y.-( THIS DAY.)
( Before Mr. Commissioner KANE. )
Mr. Lucas appeared on behalf of Samuel Walter Weller, of
Bishopsgate-street, &c., fishmonger, to answer a summons ob-
tained under the sth and 6 h of Victoria, by which, if the
defendant admitted the debt and did not pay the amount, he
might be declared bankrupt. The Learned Counsel said that
the defendant had made an affidavit admitting a portion of the
debt, and deposing that he had a pod defence to the action
as to the rest; the question therefore arose whether, under the
14th and 15th section of the Act, any fiat of bankruptcy could
issue ; secondly, whether under the 32d rule of this court the
defendant was not entitled to he dismissed from the summons,
the rule stating distinctly that if he declared that he had a
good defence, he should be discharged from the summons. In
this case he admitted part, which he would pay into court, and
an action was pending on the other.
The COMMISSIONER said that that must be a mistake; and
he would not act upon it unless there were strong precedents.
I:* that interpretation of the rule was to be taken, a person
summoned fore debt of 1,0001. had only to pay 1/. into court,
and deny the 9991 , to get through the Act.
The case was postponed for the opinion of Commissioner
Fonblanque.
