ROLLS' COURT, Mall 27.

CLARK V. YONGE.
The arguments in this cause were iesumed this morning,
and were not concluded up to a late hour of the day.

VICE- CHANCELL ORS' Co UR T, May 27.
Short causes and unopposed petitions occupied his Honour
the Vice-Chancellor of England the whole morning.
(Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.)
His HONOUR having gone through the list of causes set
down in the paper for hearing, which came before him chiefly
on technical points, the Court rose shortly after 11.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WidliAat.)
MASSEY V. MOSS.

His Howoua gave judgment in this cause. The sole ques-
tion which the Court had to decide was one of costs, namely,
how the assignees of a bankrupt executor were to get their
costs of being brought into Court. His Honour decided that
they were only entitled to have them out of their own estate.

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND

public eptntott.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

The Univers, a French religious paper, gives the following
results of the operation hitherto of the right of search :—" The
number of negroes liberated from 1828 to 1835 has been 8,312,
taken in 29 slavers, and liberated by the mixed Committee
sitting at Havannah, 3,193, from 10 slavers, and liberated by
the Committee of Rio Janeiro, 27,686, taken in 142 vessels,
and set at liberty by the Committee at Sierra Leone, betides
those who have been liberated by the special tribunals of each
contracting nation. For France alone the numbers are 525 at
Martinique, 702 at Guadaloupe, 800 at Guayana (Diana), and
465 at Bourbon, making in all 41,683 negroes, whom the right
of search, such as it is exercised at present, has set at liberty
in the space of eight years. For ail those, whom the senti-
ment of human dignity has not abandoned, this is undoubtedly
something."
The grand fete given by Lord Cowley, at the British Em-
bassy on Tuesday night, to celebrate her Majesty's birthday,
passed off most brilliantly, and was pronounced to be one of
the most splendid entertainments .ever given in the French
capital.
The Commerce says :—" M. Olozaga will, it is understood,
soon return to his post, as Ambassador at. Paris. It is pro-
bable, therefore, that Count Salvandy will rstkdelay returning
to Madrid, for he still preserves the title of Extraordinary
Ambassador of the King to Spain."
The Sentinelle de Toulon of the 22d instant states, that the
Veloce steamer, which arrived on the preceding day with 18
sick, had left the squadron of Admiral Hugon at the islands of
Hyeres. On the 20th the frigate Medee came in collision with
the Ocean man-of-war, carried away her stern boat, and re-
ceived considerable injury in her rigging. Several persons were
wounded on board the Ocean, and amongst others Admiral
Hugon, who was struck on the head.
A letter from Beyrout, April 28, in the Echo de 1' Orient,
states that the plague was raging at Der-el-Kamar, and that
some cases had occurred at Saint Jean d'Acre, but Beyrout
was, up to that period, free from the disease. The same letter
informs us that Colonel Rose, the British Consul, had narrowly
escaped assassination. Whilst riding on horseback he was at-
tacked by an Albanian, who snapped a pistol at him, but it for-
tunately missed fire, and the Colonel rode off.

Our accounts from Athens are of the 10th inst. They state
that French influence was all powerful in Greece for the pre-
sent, and that Russia on the other hand was actively labouring
to get up, by working on the religious fanaticism of the people,
a powerful opposition to King Otho.
London, England, 1842-05-28

" In this case only two verdicts were possible ; a verdict of
acquittal, or one of unqualified culpability.
" But to allow mitigating circumstances in favour of an act of
parricide committed after fifteen years' infamous meditation is
more than a fault, it is a crime against public morality, against
society, since the protection cif virtue, daily becomes weaker in
proportion to the indulgence so fatally given to crime."—La
Gazette de France.

A letter from Naples of May .18th says—The King and the
Queen, with some of the principal officers of the household,
sailed on the 13th for Palermo, where they have already arrived.
It is thought that the absence of their Majesties will not exceed
eight or ten days.
The iron: railway' from Naples to Rome has at length ob-
tained the approval of the Holy See. It is said that an arrange-
ment has been made between the two States, according to
which, Naples will undertake the work and the expense, and
Rome repay its share in annuities.
An iron railway, from Rome to Florence, is spoken of as a
thing quite resolved on.— Semaphorede Marseilles.

THE TARIFF.

In reply to a question from Mr. HUME, with respect
to the time fixed for the third reading of the tariff,
Sir R. PEEL said, he hoped he had sufficiently shown
the sincerity of his intentions to induce the House to
pass the Income-tax, without waiting for the third read-
ing of the tariff.—(Hear, hear.) He appealed to the
House whether he had not, in substance, fulfilled the en-
gagements which he had entered into.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HUME said he hoped that before the Income-tax
was read a third time, he would at least have an oppor-
tunity of stating why it should not pass.
Sir R. PEEL wished the Hon. Member had been in
Parliament at an earlier period of the session.—(A Laugh. )
Mr. LABOUCHERE observed that the Right Hon.
Gentleman had stated that he would, before the IncOme
Tax-Bill was read a third time, state to the House the
nature of the machinery by which that tax was to be
carried into effect. .Perhaps the Right Hon. Gentleman
would state that on Monday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would do the best he could to do so.

TUE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so- that acids do not atiect it; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the -same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's

A letter from Cahorst the chief town of the depart-
ment of the Lot, relates that, in the night of the 28th
ult., four young men scaled the walls of the cemetery,
and, having collected a number of skulls. returned into
the town, dressed only in their shirts, and made a sort
of dance of death, rolling the spoils of mortality they
bad procured before them along the streets. Some of
the inhabitants, who witnessed their profane orgies,
denounced them the next day to the police, and they
will, no doubt, be made to answer for the sacrilege.
Lately a well-dressed wan entered a barber's shop
at Bati„gnolles, and with great tranquillity desired the
owner to shave him. After the operation he complained
that one part had been badly done, which the other
denied. " Since I must convince you of the contrary,"
said he, " lend me the razor." Taking is from the man's
hand, he drew it rapidly across his throat, and expired
instantly.—Boulogne Gazette.
On Sunday last a quarrel arose in one of the streets
of Marseilles, between a young Genoese and the keeper
of a roulette-table, at which the foreigner was playing for
cakes, the Genoese maintaining that he had won, and the
table-keeper insisting he had lost. At length the
Genoese became so enraged that he snatched the index
from the table, and hurled it at the head of the other
disputant. It, however, missed its object, and entered
the eye of a wine-dealer standing by, with such force
that it was extracted by a surgeon with great difficulty.
The organ was totally destroyed, and an inflammation
of the brain, the usual consequence of such injuries, was
apprehended, and to prevent which, says the Semaphore
of Marseilles, which relates the outrage, the surgeon in
attendance has ordered that a
canstant stream of cold

Isle of k, ight, containing about NINE HUNDRED ACRES
of FERTILE LAND, with the White Lion Inn and several

half a century, has in vain been sought for, is at length open
to public competition. Part. of the property is adj scent to Sir
Willoughby Gordon's admired retreat. The orchard and the
land extend westward beyond the Royal Sandrock Hotel to the
Lighthowe, and within the manor is the high and towering St.
Catherine's Downs.

I.IF'E ASSURANCES.

The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for-the last seven years vary trom 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and avera,e 14 per cent„ or two per cent.
tier annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, mere
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary)
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Onni,any are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be-
fete the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
To facilitate loan transactions a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained at the above offices, or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establtahments throughout the kingdom.

to revise the taxation of the costs ; and having re-
solved to prosecute the petition in person, he has
been obliged to attend the Court seven times. The
Judge on Monday last expressed his surprise that
Mr. Palfrey should have so much to pay, but declared
that he could not reverse his judgment, and that he
had no evidence before him that costs had not been
taxed agreeably to the custom of the Court. Mr. P.

such evidence, by the taxed bills having been refused
