THE COTTAGE ALLOTMENT SYSTEM IMPROVED.—
Two or three years ago Sir Arthur de Capell Brooke, Bart.,
caused to be cleared an extensive tract of forest land in the
neighbourhood of Cottingham, near Rockingham, Northamp-
tonshire. The land was let in small parcels of an acre, or more
or less, to cottagers and labourers in the neighbouring villages.
The first year the labour of clearing the land was considered an
equivalent for rent; afterwards, we believe, 21. per acre was
to be paid for it. Within the past few months a Temperance
Society, on the teetotal principle, has been established in
the village of Cottingham, under the patronage of Sir
rthur. The society embraces upwards of one hundred mem-
LA several of whom were habitual drunkards. So deeply
uers"ed is the above philanthropic Baronet in the promotion
interes, -al and social welfare of the people, that he has caused
of the mo tified that every holder of an acre of land, or
it to be no ve the land rent free for one year, on condition
*-e teetotal pledge, and adhering to it for the

HAMBURGH.

PROPOSITION OF THE. SENATE OF HAM.
BURGH, FOR SUBMISSION TO THE BUR.

G HERSHAFT.

The meeting of the Burghershaft is at length decidedly
appointed for Thursday, the 16th. Of the propositions
that will be then submitted to them by the Senate there
are some which are of immediate, and others which must
prove of ultimate interest to the English mercantile
world. The following summary, drawn up from the
notes I have made from these documents, will be found
to contain every point of any consequence.
The propositions of the Senate are contained in five
several printed parts, and these are supported by detailed
explanations, and a statement of the grounds upon
which their adoption is recommended.
PART I._

By the constitution of this free city, the Senate and
burghers may conjointly appoint a deputation to sit for
any given purpose, or any given time, to adjust any de-
bateable question on which they cannot come to an
agreement, or which it may be conceived desirable by
each of them should be constituted for any special pur-
pose beneficial to the State.
The Senate propose. under this head (I.), that this de-
putation should consist of five of, their own body, and
fourteen of the Burghershaft.
It specifies the functions and extent of the competency
of the deputation.
I. To prepare reports to be presented by them to the
Senate as propositions for the Burghershaft, then to be
submitted to them, if approved of by the Senate.
A. On a plan for the reconstruction of the town,
the raising money, and the simplifying the expro-
priation law for that purpose.
B. For a general police law for architectural, fire
and sanatory regulations, respecting buildings, ware-
, houses, and magazines of combustible articles.
C. For the revision and improvement of the laws
and regulations for the extinction of fires.
.4. Definitive resolutions on the following affairs :-
1 A. The raising money for the payment of the
damage by the fire, by means of one or snore loans.
How to relieve the Mutual House Insurance against
fire associations.
B. Authorisation to the deputation to allow im-
mediately the reconstruction of certain streets,
without prejudice to the projected plan.
C. To make further dispositions, and urgent ad-
Iditional modifications, as may have been omitted in
respect to the building and fire regulations.
D. Deliberation with the Senate in reference to
some principles to be followed by the relief corn-
! committee.
3. They (the Senate) will,
as soon as possible, bring
the propositions of the deputation, if approved of by them,
to 'the College of the One Handre.l and Eighty, and the
Bqrghershaft.

LONDON
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1842.

It appears by Mr. T. DUISCOMBE'S statement, that
the Guardians of the Poor of Norwich, being unable
to procure silver to relieve the paupers, have issued
tickets of Is. 6d. each, promising to pay them on de-
mand, when presented at their office, in amounts
of not less than ten shillings. That is one of the
cons•eqtrences of the conduct of the Government.
Mr. GM:LUC:RN has discredited the gold coin. There
is not siler enough to supply its place, and so persons
are obli3el.i to have recourse to a " small paper cur-
rency." As Mr. DUNCOMBE remarked, if the prac-
tice be permitted, we shall be inundated with such a
currency; at the same time, the necessity which gave
birth to it in this instance is so obvious, that we can-
not for one moment censure those who have . had
recourse to it, or fancy that it ought to be prohibited.
We have, on more than one occasion, directed pub-
lic attention io tho error, not to say folly, of the

Lord Chancellor, took his seat upon the Woolsack
at half-past Three o'Clock.
JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES BILL.

time. The Standing Orders were ordered to be sus-
pended. The Bill was committed, reported, read a
third time, passed, and ordered to be taken down to
the Commons.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

Edward Brineck was charged with violently assaulting po-
lice constable 174 G.

It appeared that last night, between twelve and one o'clock,
the prisoner vas fighting with a number of females of bad cha-
racter ir, Gray's Inn-lane, when the policeman attempted to
disperse them, upon which the latter seized a large wooden vessel,
and striking him with it on the back of the head, felled him to
the ground, and made a large wound. Other policemen came
up and a violent scuffle ensued, in which the prisoner acted des-
perately.
The MAGISTRATE said, that from the violence which had
been used on both sides, he should postpone his decision until
further evidence could be obtained.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—MANCHESTER, TUESDAY
EVENING.—The various sections have been tolerably well at-
tended, although the communications have not been of a very
interesting character, nor has the meeting been so numerous as
was anticipated. The concluding general meeting of the Asso-
ciation will be held in the Friends' meeting-house to morrow
evening, when the proceedings of the General Committee, and
the grounds of the several grants of money sanctioned by it,
will be explained. Excursions, exhibitions, and soirees, take
place daily, and the business and pleasure of the members will
not terminate until the end of the week.

RUMOURED DEATH OF THE EARL OF LICHFIELD.
—lt was generally reported at the Clubs on Tuesday evening,
and the rumour was general yesterday at the west end, that his
Lordship's death had taken place at Naples, where he was re-
siding with the Countess. Lord Coke, eldest son of the Earl
of Leicester, arrived from Naples, last week, via Gibraltar,
and at the time of his departure, his Noble relative, though
occasionally suffering from gout, was not worse than when he
quitted England ; arid at the date of the last letters received
by the flon. Colonel Anson, a few days since, his Lordship's
indisposition was not adverted to.
MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS OF WATERFORD.
_DUBLIN, jUNE 28.—We are rejoiced in being enabled to
state that all the accounts which have reached town to-day re-
specting the late accident at Curraghmore give a far more favour-
able version of the amount of injury sustained by the lovely
Marchioness of Waterford, and sanguine hopes are entertained
good constitution, her Ladyship will ere long

IRISH CORPORATIONS BILL.

The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the second
reading of this Bill.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not mean to
oppose the second reading of this Bill; on the contrary,
he thought it desirable that it should pass as soon as
possible. He understood, however, that the Bill was
only a retrospective one, and he did think that it ought
to be so modelled as that it should be a prospective as
well as a retrospective measure.
The Bill was then read a second time, and on the
motion that the Standing Orders be supended, in order
that the Bill might be committed,.

Lord CAMPBELL said he did' not object to the sus..
pension of the Standing Orders in this case, but
he did object to it as a principle. In proof of the
evils which arose from the rapid passing of Bills through
the House, he might refer to the Justices Jurisdiction
Bill, which had passed in the course of one day, and had
this day received the Royal assent. That Bill took away
the jurisdiction of Quarter Sessions, which were now sit-
ting all over the kingdom, in a variety of cases. It
abolished their jurisdiction in cases of blasphemy, perjury,
incendiarism, bigamy,' abduction, endeavouring to conceal
the birth of children, bribery, nnlawful combination,
conspiracy, &c. &c. The power of the Justices expired
in these cases at five o'clock to-day ; and Justice seri-
teneinn, a prisoner to transportation, or other punish.
ment for any of those crimes would be liable to an action
from the prisoner. It would be a pioceeding coram non
judice.
Messenters from the Commons brought up:the Public-
houses Bill and the Copy Right Bill.
DEBATE ON THE JURISDICTION BILL

COLONIAL E-MIGRATION.

In answer to a question of Mr. ALDAM,
Lord STANLEY said that emigration to New South
Wales was carried on by means of bounty orders which
were made out to persons in the Colonies. The classes
sent out were principally confined to agricultural labour-
ers, and some for trades, but he did not think that hand-
loom weavers were included.

THE NIGER EXPEDITION.

Captain Walters, of the ship William Canynges, arrived at
Bristol on Monday last, the 27th instant, from ' Cape Coast
Castle (west coast of Africa), which place he left on the 22d
of March, brings some interesting information respecting the
Niger expedition. The following is an extract from Captain
:Walters's Report:—
" The William Canynges sailed from Cape Coast Castle on
the 22d of March. At Cape Coast Castle were her Majesty's
ship Madagascar and the steampacket Wilberforce attached to
the Niger expedition. This vessel (Wilberforce) arrived on
the 20th of March from the island of Ascension, on her way to
Fernando Po, whence she was to proceed, in company with the
Soudan steamer, on a second attempt to ascend the Niger.
With the exception of one case of dysentery, all on board the
Wilberforce w ere in tolerable health.
" The Wilberforce brought accounts from the island of As-
cension es late as March 10. At that time the island was
healthy, and most of the invalids from the Niger expedition
had sufficiently recovered from fever to allow of their being in-
valided to return to England. One death had occurred among
them while in hospital at Ascension.
" The Albert remained at Ascension, undergoing a refit.
" The Gold Coast had been visited lately by a swarm of
locusts, which had done much damage among the corn, &c.
" The Ashantee mission had been established under favour-
able circumstances, and the two princes, Quantamissah and
Ausah, were residing with the Rev. Mr. Brooking, at Coo-
massie.

4, Captain Stanley, late 2d West India Regiment, and Lieut.
Fairholme, invalided from the Soudan, passengers (per the
William Canynges), from Cape Coast."
Captain Walters deserves the thanks of the public for the
above valuable extract from his report.

An instance of spontaneous combustion occurred a
few days ago at Lille. Some coarse cloths, which had been
used in cleaning the iron work of some machinery in a factory,
anti had thereby become saturated with oil, were thrown into a
wooden box on the floor of one of the workshops, and hap-
pened to stand in the sun. Between nine and ten in the even-
ing a faint smell of burning was perceived in this part of the
building, and, search being made, it was found that these
cloths had ignited and were smouldering. Fortunately the dis-
covery was made in time to prevent any disastrous consequences.
London, England, 1842-06-30

THE TARIFF.

Messengers from the Commons brought up certain
Bills, which were respectively read a first time. Among
these was the Customs Duties (Tariff) Bill, which was
ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next.
CANADA.

The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL wished to ask the.
Noble Duke a question relating to a subject of the
greatest importance to Canada. It appeared that up •
wards of 6,000 emigrants, principally paupers, had:ar-
rived in Canada from the United States, principally from
Ohio and Michigan, in addition to immigration from the
United States upwards of 17,000 persons had arrived
from Great Britain. If these persons could not find
employment the greatest distress would be the conse-
quence, and they could only find employment at the
public works. In 1841 the House of Assembly of Canada
had passed an Act authorising the raising of a loan for
the purpose of carrying on public works. Lord Syden-
ham had at that period informed the Assembly
Ghat the Government would assist them. Of course the
present Government was not bound by that pledge.
He did not ask for an advance of money, but he asked
if the Government were prepared to assist the local Go-
vernment at Canada by guaranteeing the loan, for which
ample security was given in Canada, so as to enable the
Canadian Assembly to give employment to their people.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he was not un-
prepared to answer the question of the Noble Lord ; but
the Noble Lord had thought proper to make a speech
without making a motion, and he did not purpose to
answer that speech. In answer to the question of the
Noble Lord, he would say that there was no intention on
the part of the present Government of not performing
the promises made by the late Governor-General of
Canada. Her Majesty's Government was now in com-
munication with the Governor-General in Canada, with
a view to ascertain which would be the best mode of
carrying the engagements into execution for the benefit
of the province of Canada._ _
London, England, 1842-06-30

LAW COURTS (DUBLIN).

Sir H. W. BARRON moved for a return of the num-
ber of judgments entered in the three Law Courts, Dub-
lin, from the Ist day of June, 1841 to the Ist day of
June, 1842, for recovery of debts under 201., and the debt
and costs in each case respectively ; also, a return of
the sums paid as salary to the Judges' Registrars in Ire-
land, from the Ist day of June, 1841. to the Ist
d‘y of June,":lB42 ; also, the number of re-
records issued during the said period, and the amount of
stamp or low fixed dutv received thereon ; also the ex-
pense of engrossing each of the said records ; also a re-
turn of the sums paid by each Sub-sheriff in Ireland
from the Ist day of June, 1841 to the Ist of June, 1842,
to the Judges' criers on circuit ; and under what Act of
Parliament were the same received and paid.--Ordered.
THE GRAND JURY PRESENTMENT (IRE-

LAND) BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
PUBLIC HOUSES BILL.

Captain ROUS moved that the Lords' amendments
to the -Public-houses Bill be agreed to.
Mr. HUME wished to know what the amendments
were, as they had not been printed.
Captain ROUS said the only amendment was that the
operation of the Act should not extend to the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge.—(Laughter.)
MINES AND COLLIERIES BILL.
On the motion for the re-appointment of the dropped
Order for the third reading of this Bill,
Lord ASHLEY trusted that the House would allow
the Bill to be read a third time that day. There was a
strong and very deep feeling in the country on the sub-
ject, and it was desirable that the question should be
disposed off a 3 soon as possible.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD said he should oppose the third
reading of the Bill.
The SPEAKER intimated that if there was to be any
opposition to the third reading, it must.he postponed.
After a few observations from Mr. HUME,.

Lord ASHLEY postponed the third reading till to-
morrow.

COPYRIGHT BILL.

On the motion of Lord MAHON the Lords' Amend-
ments to the Copyright Bill were agreed to.
• The, Stock-in-Trade Bill was reported, and ordered to
be read a third time to-morrow.:

PART IV.

The Senate here inform the Burghershaft that by the
late conflagration they have acquired some experience of
many things, many defects and abuses which spread the
fire. For instance, wooden pipes and gutters, &c. For
correction of these evils, and the regulation of the con-
struction of the new buildings, no less than 12 different
propositions are submitted for adoption, and as a lath
the deputation are invited to further particulars.
PART V.

The Senate proposes that, conjointly with the burgher
deputation, they should be authorised to name two of the
members of the latter to the "relief committee," and that
if circumstances and wants should render it necessary,
they should settle with the Senate about some principles
according to which the money is to be distributed.
London, England, 1842-06-30

FOREIGN STEAM-VESSELS.

We have seen, latterly, frequent references, in the
English Journals, to the conduct pursued by the autho-
rities of Belgium towards the boats of the General
Steam Navigation Company plying to Antwerp and
Ostend. We cannot believe the authorities, however
anxious for the prosperity of Belgian steamers, would
be guilty of such ingratitude, such meanness, or folly,
as to countenance the disgraceful acts complained of.
Winter and summer, for more than twelve years, have
the Company's boats been plying to Ostend ; it is now
two p ears and more that the Company, to give every
facility and access to a thriving and commercial town,
ran a splendid and powerful steamer, the Rainbow,
to Antwerp ; she always performed her voyage in
two hours less time than any other boat on the sta-
tion; her fleetness and beautiful equipment induced many
to pass into Belgium by a long sea,voyage, who would
otherwise have chosen another route ; tens of thousands
have thus passed into Belgium that would never have
trod its soil ; the Government must know, and though
in general they are not very mindful of benefits conferred,
still, we think they should not forget that the Company
has the means of revenge in its own hands, and can af-
ford to punish those who would unjustly, ungratefully,
injure it. Let the Company reduce its fares one-half to
Rotterdam and the Rhine, or to Hamburgh, and charge
two shillings to Ostend and Antwerp, how many passen-
gers will patronise the Government opposition in Bel-
gium, or land there at all ? We love fair play, we de-
light in an opposition where the parties are equal, or think
themselves so; but every generous bosom, every English-
man will rise in wrath against an opposition where a Go-
vernment, forgetful of past benefits, would strive to injure
its benefactor, one, too, that patronised it when no other
would hold out a helping hand to its wants or distress.
Every Englishman, abroad, is under certain obligations
to the General Steam Navigation Company. Their
boats are safe, well manned, and, in general, commanded
by civil and obliging captains; those to this port are
particularly so. Faults are found with the charges; we
ourselves think that were they lower they would ;gain
considerably by it, especially in the summer season; it
would also render any opposition hopeless, for when the
public think an old friend is only charging a remune-
rating price, they will not desert him for any new corner.
At the same time the public arc justified, when they think
their interests injured, to support every Company or
every boat which they think calculated to promote their
object. Universally, however, the General Steam Navi-
gation Company are respected wherever their boats have
appeared, and we have no doubt that the paltry annoy-
ance a few petty officials have thrown in their path in
Belgium will soon disappear, and the fair play they de-
mand be wisely extended to them.—Boulogne Gazette.

On the motion of Sir C. NAPIER the following Mem-
bers were appointed as the Select Committee on the

PART 111.

The Senate proposes that the great deputation be
authorised to settle a plan, already laid down, and to
ascertain what its execution would cost, as well as to
warrant the State in proceeding to a partial or entire ex-
propriation.
That the re-construction of the parts of the town
burnt down be not allowed before a previous authorisa-
don of the deputation. That the deputation may allow
the restoration of such streets where they find it will not
be inconsistent with the general plan, but even this per-
mission to be accompanied by the requiring the widen
lug and straightening the streets.
That those proprietors who are allowed to rebuild their
houses, must undergo the obligation to subject themselves
to the expropriation law, in case they should be required,
on account of the modification or alteration of the plan, to
cede their property.
London, England, 1842-06-30

IN RE JOHN WADDINGTON.

This insolvent likewise applied to be liberated on bail.
In his schedule he was described by his attorney as being
" by profession " a brush-maker and carpenter.
Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it was most ridiculous
for persons to adopt such terms, descriptive of their occupation
in life. He always understood the proper designation in cases
like the present would be a trade, and he was sure that the in-
solvent ,4 ould be recognised much more easily by his numerous
creditors if he were described as a tradesman than as a profes-
sional man.—Bail accepted.

Twenty-seven bail cases appeared on the paper, the greater
number of which were disposed of without involving any point
of interest.

POLICE IN TELLItiENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Thomas Curling, an elderly shabbily-dressed man, was
charged with making use of insulting and abusive lan-
guage towards Weston Jolliffe, Esq , of No. 62, Pall Mall,
M.P., for Surrey, tending to promote a breach of the peace.
Mr. Jolliffe stated that about half-past seven o'clock last
evening, as he was proceeding through Church-passage, Pic-
cadilly, he met the prisoner, who accosted him by saying in a
loud and threatening tone, " Well, have you got nothing to
give me yet?" Complainant endeavoured to avoid him and
pass on, but he followed close at his heels, and called out,
" You're a hard, b-y villain." In consequence com-
plainant gave him in charge to the police.
Mr. MALTBY asked if this was the first time the defendant
had behaved in this manner ?
Mr. Jolliffe said he had been annoyed by him continu-
ally during the last twenty years, and the defendant had been
frequently imprisoned for his misconduct.
Mr. MALTBY asked what was the prisoner's motive?
Mr. Jolliffe said that the defendant imagined that he had a
right to an estate now in the possession of him (complainant)
and Sir Francis Shelley, left by the late Marquis of Camden.
The case was tried before Lord Mansfield, and the defendant's
claim negatived.
The defendant begged to be set at liberty, and he would so-
lemnly promise not to annoy Mr. Jolliffe any more.
Mr. Jolliffe said the defendant had so often broken his word,
that no dependence could be placed on his. promises.
He was then fined 405., or one month's imprisonment.
Yesterday Caroline Guest, a perfect virago, who passed
at least eleven months out of the twelve in prison, was
charged with breaking two large panes of plate glass, at
the Army and Navy Club-house, St Jamel's-square.
George Williams, one of the night porters, stated that
about twenty minutes to two o'clock yesterday morning
the priso:•:er deliberately walked up the steps of the hall
entrance, and, with her fist, broke, one after the other,
the large panes of glass in the swing folding doors, and in
doing so cut her arm in a most dreadful manner.

PHIPPS V. ACKERT.

The Judges gave their judgment this morning in this case,
on the questions submitted to them by the House, when the
writ of error was heard. The question was whether the es-
tates, the subject of the cause, were vested or not. I heir
Lordships stated their opinions that the estates were not vested.
The House reserved its final judgment.

ROE V. LORI) TitIMLESTONE.

The arguments in this part-heard writ of error were resumed
to-day, but had not concluded when our Evening Edition went
to press.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM. )
CHENNELL V. MARTIN.

His Horton, gave judgment in this case. The case, as it
originally came before the Court, referred to the purchase of an
estate by a trustee, in 1765, for the sum of 550/. On the sth
of May, 1831, a decree was made by which the purchase was
declared to be void. NJ appeal was made from that decree.
The case now came before the Court on exceptions to the
Master's report, the defendant contending that he had a right
to have allowances made for the improved value of the timber.
Atter going through all the circumstances of the case his
Honour directed an inquiry whether the purchaser was entitled
to any, and what just allowances for timber.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at the Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN
and a London Common Jury.)
LITLLE V. OLDAKE.

This was an action brought by a physician to recover the
amount of his bill. It appeared the plaintiff also acted as a
surgeon, and it was contended that he attended defendant in his
capacity of surgeon, and was therefore entitled to recover. For
the defendant it was contended that, as plaintiff was a physician,
he had no right whatever to sue defendant for the amount of
his bill.

The Jury found for the plaintiff--Damages 15 Guineas.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY)

IN RE WM. SCOTT.

The insolvent in this case was a linen-draper's shopman. The
names of a great number of creditors appeared in his schedule,
and the debts in the aggregate were about 350/.
It appeared in his examination by the Court that he borrowed
the money from his creditors at various times during a period
of six years, and boarded and lodged with a widow, from whom
he also borrowed various sums of money, in payment for which
he gave a bill of exchange. Having been sued upon this bill
he defended the action, and in consequence a large amount of
costs was unnecessarily imposed upon the plaintiff.
The COURT said the conduct of the insolvent was such as
to call for the exelcise of the discretionary clause. The judg-
ment, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned at the suit of one
or more of his creditors, for four months from the date of his
vesting order.

NORTH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

In this Number there is an intelligent essay on the
" Origin and Progress of Aristocratic Taxation,"
which—observes the writer—" is to be traced to the
feudal' system, a system commonly supposed extinct,
but really living; and active in every part of English
polity—in a landed legislature, in laws of primogeni-
ture and practical entail, and in all the aristocratic
habits, forms, thoughts, and feelings of public and
private life." In the article headed " Characteristics
of Manchester" occur some spirited descriptions of the
scenery in the immediate neighbourhood of this
wealthy metropolis of the cotton trade.

would not be affected by an act done subsequently to it;

The—Committee decided that the vote of George Mace
was a bad one.

The result of the day's proceedings leaves the sitting
Members in a minority of three, all three of the objec-
tions by the petitioners haying been sustained.

WIGAN.
The Committee met at the usual hour this morning,
and proceeded with the scrutiny of voters.
Edward Wisw&tl was struck off the petitioners' poll,
and Rober Dickenson and Rymane off that of the
sitting Member.
The vote of Edw. Aquaroy-d was then objected to by
Counsel for the sitting Members, on the ground of non-
residence within seven miles of the borough, and evi-
dence was ailduced in support of the objection.
The arguments Of Counsel for and against the vote of
Edward Ackroyd engaged the Committee to the time of
its rising, shortly after five o'clock. The objection was
nut then disposed of.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 1.
r.E THE REV. mosEL uum,En.
In this case the insolvent had been already before the
Court fir hearing two or three times, and the facts re-
ported in The Sun, when it was adjourned for the pur-
pose of causing him to amend his schedule.
Mr. CookE, who appeared in opposition to the.insol-
vent's petition to be discharged, on behalf of Metsrs.
Scott and Jackson, of Golden-square, said the, Court
was aware that the insolvent was a Senior Fellow of
King's College, Cambridge, and that it transpired at the
former hearing that he was entitled to a certain sum of
money from the College. The official assignee had,
since the last examination, written to the parties bound
to pay that sum to the insolvent, and had been answered
that he (the insolvent) had ordered no person to receive
the money save himself, as if such were the case he
should compel its second payment to himself.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said that upon looking
over the schedule he found the insolvent had not amended
it according to the order of the Court, nor made the
slightest allusion to the money to which he was entitled
from King's College, Cambridge.
Mr. WOODRUFFE, who appeared in support of the in-
solvent's petition, said there were certain amendments
which ought to have been made in the schedule, and
which could be done in a very short time.
Mr. CooKE (to the insolvent)—Did you write, for-
bidding the payment of this money to the official assig-
nee ? Insolvent—No.

Mr. Cooki-LW;;ill call that person into Court, who
will prove the fact.
Insolvent—l wrote to say that I was the only person
to whom it should be paid.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—Don't swear by the card.
You have acted in such a manner as to totally disentitle
you to any relief under the Act. I think from the in-
solvent's conduct the case should begin de novo ; and I
shall, therefore, adjourn it generally.
The further hearing of the case was then adjourned
generally, with an order for 10 days' notice to creditors.
A number of unopposed petitions, of no general in-
terest, were disposed of during the morning, and the ap-
plicants ordered to be discharged forthwith.

MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

There are several entertaining articles, in verse as
well as prose, in the present number of this veteran
periodical—now, we believe, an octogenarian in years ;
and among them, we may mention, Miss Emily
Spicer's poem entitled " The Old Nurse's Tale," and
a sensible prose essay on the subject of Lord Francis
Egerton's late speech in the House of Commons on
the Law of Marriage.

THE METROPOLITAN.

The "Irish Barrister" resumes his legal sketches
this month, with a memoir and character of Judge
Foster, so well known in the house of CommonS,
some fourteen or fifteen years since, for his dull, pro-
lix speeches against Catholic Emancipation—a mea-
sure which he ultimately saw cause to concede. The
writer describes him as being a passable Judge, " but
without exception one of the kindest and most consi-
derate landlords in Ireland. His property is compa-
ratively mall, and though he might render his
rent-roll more productive by at least one-third,
as we heard from a competent authority, yet he hesi-
tates not to sacrafice so much to make his tenantry
respectable' and happy. He is one of those humane
men who forego an advantage to themselves to in-
crease the comforts of others." This is high praise,
and we wish it could be oftener applied with sincerity
to Irish landlords. The "Equivocation" is a pleasing
talc, which has the additional recommendation of
pointing a useful moral. The remaining articles, in
prose and verse, are of the usual calibre.

LONDON UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

The chief article in this number is a criticism on
" Childe Harold and the Excursion," wherein we are
assured that " Childe Harold labours to exalt nature
above man, by a series of contrasts, as Use as they
are degrading. The Excursion exalts both, but nature
in due subserviency to man, whom it recognizes as
lord of the creation, not less by superiority of endow-
ment than by divine appointment. While we sub-
scribe in part to this opinion, we must protest acrainst
the undue severity of the strictures on Childe 'Tarok].
which has already taken its place amongst the finest
poems that modern times have produced. Let 'Words-
worth have all the praise, that is his due—and no man
descr4s higher praise—but let him not be exalted at
the expense of Byron. There is abundant room for
both in the temple of Fame, and one need not jostle
the other The remarks on " Sir Philip Sidney:' are
in good taste. Be was indeed one of those rare indi-
viduals who, to quote the critic's words, " scaled the
difficult heights of excellence, and. came near to their
unattainable. summit."
