CaLcuzrA, DEC. 26.—We understand that the two
steam-vessels for which the machinery was Rent out from
England in the lleginning of the year, are very nearly
completed, and that one of them will be launched on
Monday the let January, .at three in the afternoon; the
other will be launched probably in a fortnight after-
wards ; they are named the Ituwadi and the Ganges, and
are to carry eight guns each ; each is provided with two 40
horse power engines, constructed by Maudsley, originally
we understood for the Government at home, but transported
to the India Government upon the application of the Court
of Directors. These vessels will be eminently useful in
maintaining a prompt iatercourse with the Settlements on
either side of the bay.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
A WARD.

Mr. AGAR. stated, that before Lord Eldon went out of
office there was a case before him respecting a proposed
marriage of a Ward. Though the young man was the son
of a private family of large influence, yet he had no fortune ;
but the lady had a very large one, and therefore his Lordship
considered that some settlement ought to he made by the
family of the youth, intimating, that if they would execute a
deed as an escroe, he would look at it. Such a deed had now
been executed by which the young man's family had proposed
to settle 500/. a year on the young couple, and the Learned
Counsel wished to know what was to be done with that deed.
It was probable, if the Seals had been continued to have
been held by Lord Eldon, that he would have sent the
deed into the Master's office, to have ascertained whether
it was a fit and proper settlement. This was a matter
that had been mentioned to his Lordship in his private
room, it having been a family matter, and the public hav-
ing had no concern with it. So said Mr. Agar.
Lord LYNDHURST desired to be furnished with the
deed, which he said he would read, and then intimated
what he might think ought to be further done.
