LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.)

CLOBERRY V. HERRING.
The further arguments in this past-heard case occu-
pied the Court the whole day.

ROLLS' COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

His LORDSHIP was occupied the whole of the morning
in hearing motions, none of which possessed any features
of general interest.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
Unopposed petitions and short causes occupied his
Honour, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the whole

morning.

(Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.)
OLIVER V. LATHAM.

The Court was engaged the entire day, to the time of
its rising, with the arguments in this case.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN V. THE PROPRIETOR AND PRINTER OF THE
" NORTHERN STAR" NEWSPAPER.
Mr. THESIGER said in this case his Learned Friend
the Attorney-General had obtained a rule for a criminal
information against Mr. Feargus O'Connor, the propri-
etor of the Northern Star newspaper, and Mr. Wright,
the printer and publisher, for an alleged libel. He did
not rise on the present occasion to show cause against
the rule, but he was most anxious that their Lordships
should understand the position in which Mr. O'Connor
was placed with regard to the publication of the article
in question. Mr. F. O'Connor was the proprietor of the
paper, and knew that he was, criminally as well as
civilly responsible for every article that was
published in his paper ; but he had been extremely
desirous since he became the owner of the paper to pre-
vent the insertion of any attack upon private character,
and for the four years during which he had been pro-
prietor of the paper, he (Mr. Thesiger) would venture
to say, on no one occasion had there been any such at-
tack upon private character. At the time of the inser-
tion of the article Mr. O'Connor was absent, and was
not aware of what had been introduced into the paper ;
but when he returned he expressed his disapprobation
in the strongest possible terms, and insisted that an im-
mediate apology should be made. Of course there was
not the slightest desire on Mr. O'Connor's part to defend
in any way the insertion of the article so improperly
published, and which undoubtedly conveyed imputations
of a very unjustifiable nature, and which he had
no desire of making. He was on the contrary desirous
of making the most public as well as the earliest atone-
ment for the insertion of the article. As for the printer,
White, Mr. O'Connor insisted that he likewise should,
throw himself upon the mercy of the person he luid
offended, and make an apology for having permitted such
an article to be inserted. He had much gratification in
making that apology to his Learned Friend, and he
trusted under the circumstances that he would not press
the rule.
Lord DENMAN—The rule was obtained, I believe, in
the other Court.
THESIGER—Yes, my Lord.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it would be necessary
for him to occupy the time of the Court for a few
minutes, in stating the circumstances under which the
attack was made upon the character of Mr. Anstey, who
was master of a school at Rugby.
Lord DENMAN—The matter is entirely in your own
hands. _ - -

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, in order that the
arrangement might be satisfactory, it would be neces-
sary to refer to some of the circumstances of the case,
and to leave it to the Court to say whether the apology
ought to be accepted. Mr. Anstey was the master of a
school at Rugby ; he was the father of a large family ;
had always lived in the utmost harmony with his wife
and children, and had testimonials of the highest descrip-
tion as to his general character. He himself personally,
and his wife, performed various acts of kindness to the wife
of an individual who was left destitute in the town where
they live. These acts of kindness were misrepresented,
and used as the basis of truth for the purpose of casting
upon that gentleman the vilest slanders—he was charged
with having - seduced the woman, and making the pre-
tence of charity the means of gratifying his lawless pas-
sions. It was impossible for Mr. Anstey not to have
brought the matter forward; at the same time Mr. An-
stey had no desire to do anything beyond setting himself
right with the public, and vindicating his character as.
the master of a school and the father of a family. He
had not, therefore, the slightest objection to receive the
public retractation and apology that had been made,
their Lordships being of opinion that that was the pro-
per course for him to take, and his Learned Friend un-
dertaking that the costs should'be paid by the defendant.
Lord DENMAN—Beyond all doubt the prosecutor
should insist upon these terms, lest there should be any
possibility of supposing that his forbearance proceeded
from any improper motives.
Mr. THESIGER, of course, had not the slightest objec-
tion to agree to these terms, and had, in fact, omitted to
state them previously.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL Under these circum-
stances, and with your Lordship's permission, Mr.4nstey
having no wish beyond that of vindicating his character
and placing it before the public as it ought to stand, I
have no objection that the rule should be discharged.
The rule was then discharged.

BAIL COUKT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN V. REV. G. HOBSON.-QUO WA RRANTO.

Mr. COLE moved for a rule for a quo warranto, calling
upon the Rev. George Hobson to, show cause by what
right he exercised the functions of a burgess of the borough
of Lichfield. The affidavits set forth that the Rev.
Gentleman did not possess any one of the quali-
fications necessary under the Municipal Corpora-
tions Act.: He had not occupied any house, ware-
house, or premises within the borough for
two years. He was not an inhabitant householder, he
was not rated to the'poor, and he had not paid any rates.
Under these circumstances he trusted the application
would be grated.—Rule nisi granted.

LITERATURE.
JOURNAL:OF A TOUR IN GREECE.
Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1842.
In an introductory notice to these volumes,
Mr. Mure, the author, says that since the revo-
lution, "the whole appearance of Greece and of
its towns and villages, has been changed, but un-
fortunately not for the better. The old Greek
population, on entering on their new career of
independence, have assumed in many respects, a
new and improved. character. Many favourable
traits, which had been. smothered under the
Turkish oppression, have been brought to light ;
and the natural talent of the race, universally
acknowledged to be great, althoughSor the pre-
sent perhaps little little favoured by circum-
stances, will, it is to be hoped, daily obtain a wiler
and more beneficial field far its display ; while
the anomalous features which the sudden transi-
tion from bondage to independence could not fail
to stamp on the character and habits of a lively
people, render the study of both replete with
amusement as well as instruction." The "ano-
malous features" in the characters and habits of
the Greeks, which Mr. Mure here speaks of, are
described by him with great spirit and, appa-
rently, with great fidelity, in these volumes,
which are the result of a short tour through the
country made in the spring of the year 1838; in
the course of which tour he visited successively
Parnassus, Ulysses' celebrated Island of Ithaca,
the far-famed Corinth, Thebes,
Athens, and
Delphi—in fact, every spot dear to the scholar,
the poet, and the historian. With the first sight
of Parnassus our author was specially de-
lighted. He describes it as an insulated moun-
tain, of vast elevation—being upwards of seven
thousand feet high, and possessing an aspect of
calm and majestic sublimity. Here is his sketch
of a summer evening spent in its immediate
vicinity :
"It was a calm beautiful evening. The sun had set
nearly half an hour ; but the western half of the sky still
retained that brilliant mixture of orange, purple, and
gold, peculiar to the twilight of southern latitudes, while
from the opposite horizon, the shades of night had al-
ready begun to overspread the landscape. The last
beams of expiring daylight gradually became fainter
and fainter behind the snow of Parnassus. The few
stragglers of the' flocks that had enlivened the surfaCe
of the ruins were now slowly disappearing in the gloom
of the valley towards the hamlet, when a common abode
for the night awaited themselves and their masters. The
interruption which the tinkling of the bells, the occa-
sional low of an ox, the bleat of a goat, or the wild cry
of the herdsmen, becoming fainter and fainter in the
distance, gave to the stillness of the scene, tended rather
to increase than detract from its effect. Looking up the
plain towards Parnassus, the first object, a little to the
left, was a fountain, round which were still lingering a
few squalid, but not inelegant, female figures. Beyond,
rose the Acropolis, with its broken walls and towers,
looming in irregular 'masses on the brow of the cliff,
below which the position of the theatre was marked by
a blight mass of a yellow-red, or brown colour, on the
face of the rock. Behind, was visible in the distance a
corner of the tufted citadel of Panopea ; and further on,
in the same direction, a round lump at the foot of Par-
nassus, could still be recognized as the Acropolis of
Daulis. At the extremity of the plain, more broadly
projected by the yet vivid rays of the departed sun, the
colossal summits of the sacred mountain itself, bounded
the landscape."
Of course, while voyaging over the lonian sea,
Mr. More did not omit the opportunity of paying
a visit to Ithaca—the kingdom of Ulysses, the
hero of the Odyssey. Of this celebrated island
he tells us, that since the commencement of the
present century, the zeal of English classical re-
search has rescued it from the obscurity in which
fin. ages it had lain ; and it has now become a
chief object of attention with the numerous tra-
vellers who annually visit the Archipelago. Its
chief town, Valtry, extends in one narrow stripe
round the extremity of the horse- shoe port, whence
it derives its name. Its houses are for the most
part whitewashed, and of cleanly exterior, but
small ; a large proportion of them consist of but
a single floor, and the place offers no church or
other public building making the least external
show. Speaking of the population of Greece and
its islands, our author states that the Govern-
ment Returns give 926,000 as the gross amount ;
and that the principal city, Athens, was consi-
dered in 1838 to contain 20,000 souls. The stand-

in.. army on the peace establishment numbers
137326 ; the navy consists of thirty-two vessels,
large and small, the largest a twenty-gun cor-
vette; mid the gross ordinary revenue of the
country for 1836 exceeded 500,0001., and it has
since been on the increase. Those who desire to
make themselves acquainted with Greece, not
as it was, but as it at present exists, will find

much to answer their purpose in this entertaining
and instructive work, which abounds in useful
facts, and descriptions as remarkable for their
graphic excellence as their accuracy.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, JAN. 26

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

The celebration of the Royal Christening was on an
extensive scale here. The shops were closed, business
suspended, the streets decorated with flags and ever-
greens, as were the ships and vessels. The poor were
supplied with coals, beef, &c. The Miss Wards, with
their accustomed liberality, gave a dinner of roast beef
and plum pudding to the children of the National School,
(about 200), besides other charities to the amount of 501.
The guns of the Royal Yacht Squadron and other bat-
teries were discharged. The brass band paraded the
streets ; there were large dinners at the principal inns.
About 60 gentlemen were assembled at the Vine, and
did justice to a most excellent dinner. By the liberality of
Lord Yarborough and Mr. G. H. Ward, the table was
bountifully supplied with game. Mr. Alderman Eames
took the Chair, and we noticed he was supported by
Admiral Betsey, the Rev. J. B. Atkinson, the Collector
of the Customs at this port (Ambrose Foot, Esq.), Dr.
Huffmuster, the Belgian Consul (H. Ross, Esq.),
Capt. Smythe, and the principal inhabitants of the town
and neighbourhood. Mr. Moore filled the Vice-chair.
" The Queen," " Prince Albert," and " the Prince of
Wales," with other appropriate toasts, were drank. The
gentlemen of the Newport Glee Club very handsomely
joined the party, and added much to the harmony of the
evening. We will not say one word of the good feeling
which per►aded the whole room ; on such an occasion
who would dare to introduce a subject, or a word, that
could by possibility mar the general joy.
There was another large and happy assemblage at the
Grapes Inn, and a ball at the George Inn, where they
danced the daylight in, and all were glad and gay.
