EXPORTATION OF SPECIE.

The exportations•of gold and silver to the Conti-
nent are beginning to attract some notice, on ac-
eount of the necessary connection they have with
the state of the circulation, but they are much
smaller in value than the recent decline in the ex-

changes, would have led most people to expect. The
following are the entries made last week :
" December 14.—T0 liamburgb, 130,000 ounces of
foreign silver coin.
'• December 17.—T0 Calais, 170,500 ounces of gold
and silver coin and bars.

" To Rotterdam, 1,000 ounces of gold and biker coin."

It is to be observed, respecting these entries, that
it by no means follows the whole was exported,—
the usual practice of the exporters being to make
the entry for as much as they imagine they can have
to send under any circumstances, and the real ex-
portation falling, therefore, in most cases, much be-
low the entry. Silver is;further, an article of com-
merce, which must be supplied for the most part
from this country. If these facts are in future borne
in mind, they will much tend, as they ought to do
in this case, to prevent any groundless alarm on the
subject of our exportations of bullion to the Conti-
nent.--Times.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT, DECEMER. 19.

IN RE LIVERSNDUR'S CHARITY,'

A petition was presented in. this case by Sir
Robert Wilmot, Bart., 'and several other persons,
trustees of the charity estate, praying a reference to
the Master to approve of a proper scheme for the
future regulation of the charity affairs. The charity,
which is of considerable magnitude, was, it appears,
founded in the 21st year of Henry VIII. by a Mr.
Robert Liverscdge, for the benefit of certain poor
persons of Derby; and under a variety of regula-
tions subsequently made, a large annual revenue was
distributed among the poor of Derby. Some devia-
tions from the original design of the charity, and
some irregularities in the management of the charity
funds, having taken place, the present petition was
presented, under the Act of the 52d of George 111.,
which empowers the 'Court to afford summary relief
in cases of abuses of charitable gifts.
The MASTER of the ROLLS, as all the trustees were
not before the Court, feared no order could be made
on the present petition. As it was, his Honour was
of opinion that an information by the. Attorney-
General must be filed.

ants, and ascertain his legal right in that made.

able appearance, ivas opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be-
half of Mr. Coates, a livery-stable-keeper, in Brown-
low-street, Bond-street.

(Mr. Coates) refused. During his absence from
town, however, the insolvent left a bill with his
,foreman, and sever brought the horse back.
ri The insolvent offered to pay Mr. Coates by in-
,
;stalments. He' had been 'eleven months imprisoned
;already.

vent to further confinement for 1.5 calendar months,

WINTER ASSIZES.

110141 E CIRCUIT.--LEWES, DEC. 19.

Mary Shirt and Thomas Stunt, her husband,
were indicted, the former for stealing from the person
of Frederick Morgan, at Brighton, in August last,
a purse, containing Bank of England notes amount-
ing to 301., two 51. notes, four sovereigns, and 'one
half-sovereign, and other monies ; the latter for re-
ceiving the notes, knowing the same to have been
stolen.

The Jury found the prisoners Guilty, and the
Court sentenced the woman to be transported for
life, and the 'male prisoner for 14 years.
ffenry. White, aged 16, a labourer, was charged.
with stealing a silver watch, chain, and key, from
the dwelling-house of Mr. Robert Stammer, of
Steyning, on the 21st of July last.
The evidence in the most distinct manner brought
home the charge to the prisoner, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Guilty"—Death recorded.
George Merton, a labourer, aged 17, was capitally
indicted for stealing a gelding, the property of Mr.
George Stevenson, of Fletching, in this county.
The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty"—Death
recorded.

The Learned JUDGE, on passing sentence,observed,
that if it were not for the extreme youth of the pri-
soner, he should most likely have left him to undergo
the full penalty of the law ; but not hearing that he
was known as an experienced offender, he should
recommend to his Majesty to spare his life; but most
certainly he would be sent Out of the country for the
term of his natural life.

,HULL NEW DocKs.—The following parti-
culars respecting the Junction Dock will be acceptable at
the present period. Its shape will be an oblong square,
700 feet iii length and 400 in breadth, with the exception
of a part which is taken off at the north-west corner;
where St. John's church. is-situated. In superficial mea-

surement it will cover upwards of six acres ; and on the
usualm o da tn averageto
which the other docks arc destitute—that of retaining,
almost uniformly, the same depth of water-ras it will not
be influenced by the changes of tide. This is accomplish-
ed by the locks, at either extremity, having double gates
at the point of communication. The dimensions bf the
locks will lee as fellows : —That next the Humber dock,
180 feet long, 861. feet wide ; length of chamber, 120 feet ;
that adjoining the old dock, 200 feet long, 361 feet wide,
length of chamber, 120 feet. Each Will be capable of ad-
mitting a ship of 800 tons; and both, as well as the dock,
will he faced with stone to the depth of 12 feet. A hood-
some iron drawbridge will be thrown over each lock, at the
bottom of Whitefriargate and Mytongate:respectively; of
sufficient width to allow two carriages to pass, with a foot-
path on each side. The town will be supplied with water
from the works by a cast-iron pipe passing in a groove
under the lock adjoining the old dock.—Hull .Packet.

. CONGENITAL ABSENCE OF THE GAS-
TIIOCNEMEIMUSCLF.9,—AL PALVETA, in his Exercita.
antics Pathologicee, gives three instances of congenital ab-
sence of the gastrocnernei muscles, one of which is as
follows. A little girl, seven years of age, had a continual
lameness of the left leg, and often felt as if this limb could
not support her weight. M. PALETTA, who was called to
examine her, found the bone of the leg quite entire ; the
left heel was more rounded and prominent than the other,
the limb very slender, particularly near the ankle, where
there war a cavity without fat. At its middle and upper
part, it presented a flat surface, evidently resulting from
the absence of the gastrocnemei and their tendon. Some
tendinous fibres could be felt under the skin adhering to
the bone, but which could not act as a substitute for the
tendo achilles; and accordingly, when the foot was extend-
ed, by pressing the heel from below upwards, the gem
muscles not being sufficiently counterbalanced, it was
,quickly brought back into the state of flexion. This con-
Aition, which had beets regarded as the result of weakness
lof the limb, or of convulsions, was thus found to depend
.upon the malformation Above described... London Medi-
efil Gazette.
