RYAN V. LORD HIINTINGTOWER

In this case a rule had been obtained by the defendant
to show cause why the judgment and execution sued out
against him should not be stayed, and a new trial had.
It appeared that an action was brought at the last Bristol
assizes upon two bills of exchange for the sums of 2,630/.
and 1,0691., and a verdict had for the plaintiff, and it was
with regard to these bills that the present application
was made, and the ground was that the verdict and sub-
sequent judgment against him had been obtained by col-
lusion between the attorney for the plaintiff and the at-
torney for the defendant.
Mr. CRESWELL now appeared to show cause against
the rule. The defendant had been taken in execution,
but had been discharged from custody, on undertaking to
pay the money. That was done, and the money had
been raised, and the defendant now sought to have the
money paid into Court, and a new trial had. The affi-
davit of Lord Hnntingtower, on which the application
was grounded, set forth that the first time he heard of
these judgments was on the 22d of October last.
Lord DENmart—Must not this end in a reference to
the Master ?

Mr. CRESSWELL said it probably would, but here were
very grave imputations against the characters of pro-
fessional men, and they were most anxious that they
should bQ publicly investigated and contradicted. The
previous statements of the defendant had somehow found
their way into the public papers, and he had been strenu-
ously urged by these gentlemen to bring the matter before
the Court.

Lord DENMAN-But everybody is aware that these are
ex parte statements, and when the case is investigated
before the Master, he will report upon it ; and I think
where these imputations are made, it is much better for a
fall vindication of character that it should ge where all
the facts will be thoroughly investigated.
Mr. CRESWELL understood that Lord Huntingtower
had left the country, and had sold off his property.
Mr. THESIGER said that could not prejudice his
Learned Friend, for the money was now ready to be
paid into Court.

MORNING SUN

vrt-r;

Cape papers of intermediate dates, and Graham's Town
Journals, to the sth Nov., have arrived to-day. The
prospects of the farmers of the latter colony were very
encouraging. The result of the sales of the last ship=
ment of wool to this country bad been received, and had
prove to be most satisfactory. The cross between the
Leicester rams and the Saxon and Merino ewes had
fetched the highest prices, far above those of the origi-
nal Merino and Saxon breeds. Independent of the value
of the wool grown off this description of sheep, the
quantity has been, at the lowest calculation, double that
of the other, while the weight of the eaticase was in-
creased nearly 50 per cent.; and the animals throve far
better than the old sort, and came earlier- to maturity.
This sort of wool was of a firmer staple, and with more
body than is usually met with in the produce of the Cape,
and by comparison with the prices realised- by the other
farmers, showed that the cross had been advantageous in
every respect.
The value of land was rapidly improving ; a farm,
which two years since had been sold for a sum not quite
equal to 2,0001., had lately been resold for 3,5001., or
about I4s. per acre. This presents a complete contrast
to the land in the districts which are altogether culti-
vated With vines and corn, in the neighbour food of the
old districts, where for some time past it had been diffi-
cult to find for it purchasers, except at rates which were -
merely nominal.
Port Natal was also increasing in importance. The
bar at the. entrance, which kad hitherto been supposed
to be an-obstacle sufficient to render the harbour useless,
had been lately passed by vessels, which, upon sound-
ing, found 18 feet 4 inches upon it. It was also contem-
plated to form a jetty, plenty of materials being easily
procurable ; and it was expected that when this work
was completed, the depth of water on the bar would be
30 feet, a fact most material for the steamers with which
it was likely this port would be visited. The depreda-
tions of the Caffres were increasing, and called for a de-
termined and vigorous opposition.

The principles upon which the business of this office is con-
ducted, is to afford temporary Loans to persons assuring their
lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference
to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the
security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing
the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for
augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in-
creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company
only. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin-
ciples of Assuranee, on account of its capability of being ap-
plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As-
sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease.
Individuals possessing real or personal property. Officers in
the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants,
Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if
assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very
hug from Three Months to any other agreed period, is amounts
of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be
approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies
effected by parties with this Association, according to their
value at the time of the Loan.

The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence
with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this
comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur-
ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of
the Association, but at the same time render the Institution
signally beneficial to the great mss of the community.
Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa-
tion, it is necessary briefly to state,
THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY.
A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu-
lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re-
sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia-
ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled
and approved by Counsel.
The Capital of the Association shall consist bf Five Hundred
Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 251. each.
The Deposit is 21. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will
be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and
Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al-
lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the
Bank of the Association.
The Accounts shall be audited yearly.
The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office
five years; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor
will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any
vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among -the
Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining
Directors.
A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened
by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and
afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the
business of the Company, and an account of such other matters
as the Directors may.deem it proper to submit to thin.

LAMBETH C H URC H-RATES.

This extensive and populous parish has become once
more the scene of angry contention on the irritating sub-
ject of Church-rates. The recent decision of the Court
of Queen's Bench having, by means of Mr. Sturges
Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of voting in respect
of property, vested all parochial offices in the hands of
the Tory party, they have not failed to annoy the Libe-
rals by the most shamefully partial collection of every
description of rates and taxes. At the last Vestry meet
ing, one of the agents employed by the Reform Associa-
tion, proved that by means of a manoeuvre, cunningly
conceived, although clumsily executed, no less than six
hundred of the Liberal voters had been disfranchised
within a few days of the last general election, the collec-
tors having been instructed not to serve the notices
within the time specified by the Act .of Parliament,
especial care being taken that the electors who were
know to be favourable to the Tory candidates should
have ample intimation for payment of the rates. The
stratagem having failed, and Messrs. Hawes and
D'Eyncourt having been returned by a triumphant ma-
jority, the Tories have taken occasion to revenge them-
selves by the exaction of every parochial impost against
the Liberals. Finding it impossible to make a newChurch-
rate, they are pressing for payment of the instalments of
a very large old one, with which the parish was encum-
bered some years back, for building additional churches,
there being still several thousand pounds of
.the debt in
arrear. This year, there having been a surplus of 76031.
accruing from the Pedlar's Acre estate, the -Tories pro-
posed that it should go in aid of the Church-rate. No
new rate having been made, the Liberals objected that
there was no precedent to sanction the approbation of
that fund to such purpose. The vestry divided against
the vote by a large majority, but on a poll of the parish,
the Church party carried their point, Sturges Bourne's
Act, giving them a colourable majority by the operation
of brick and mortar voting. Not content with this vic-
tory, they are now enfOrcing the arrears of the church-
building-rate. Seizures are almost daily made upon the
eK,cts of dissenting clergymen and laymen ; and all who
are known to be opposed to the demands of the church
are singled out us victims. The substantive ground of
complaint is the unequal mode of collection that has been
resorted to, and, with a view to obtain some mitigation
of the burdens, a public meeting is about to be convened,
in order to consider what steps it may be advisable to
adopt under these circumstances.
London, England, 1842-01-20

Local Committees be formed for the purpose of receiving the
contributions of such town or district ; and, wherever prac-
ticable, that such Committee shall agree to furnish a Stall in
the Bazaar, and depute one or more Ladies (who will be hos-
pitably received during their visit by friends in Manchester) to
superintend its arrangements, and the disposal of the various
articles during the days of sale.
3. It need scarcely be stated that every variety of the arti-
cles usually contributed on similar occasions will be highly ac-
ceptable ; but it may be observed that much of the value of
the contribution will necessarily depend on the design, inge-
nuity, and state of the donors.
4. The Committee take leave to suggest the following de-
sirable additions to the ordinary contributions of dress, orna-
ment, and vertu :

1. I'ecuniary Contribution

half-past one o'clock this morning from Woolwich for
Ostend.
Three troops of the Royal Horse Artillery are ordered
to hold themselves in readiness to march on Friday, the
2lst inst., from Woolwich to Windsor, under the com-
mand of Colonel Dyneley, C. 8., and one of her Majesty's
Aides-de-Camp. Captain Bloomfield, nephew of Lieut.-
General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C.H., will be the
senior troop 'officer, Major Louis and Major Strangways
being both absent on leave. Major Louis's troop will be
commanded by Second Captain Holcombe, and Major
Strangways's troop by Second Captain Gossett. Each
troop will have two field guns attached to it, and their
evolutions will form an interesting addition to the other
military exercises which will be exhibited before the
King of Prussia and the other Royal and distinguished
visitors.

According to present arrangements, it is now certain
the King of Prussia will land at Greenwich, Col. Cleve-
land, commanding the field batteries, having already se-
lected the situation where the Royal Artillery, under
his command, will be stationed in the 'vicinity of Green-
wich Hospital, to fire the Royal salute on the landing of
the King of Prussia and the King of Belgium, as it is
fully anticipated the latter Sovereign will arrive at the
same time, several persons having sailed in the Fire-
brand for the purpose of being attached to his suite.
The selection of a guard of honour to receive the
Royal visitors on their landing at Greenwich, from the
Royal Marines, was resolved upon according to the word-
ing of the order by the express command of her Ma-
jesty, and will be a high distinction to that gallant corps,
and to their esteemed Commander-in-Chief, Major-Ge-
neral the Right Hon. Sir G. Cockburn, G.C.8., Admiral
of the Red.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF-
FICE, 1, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction

to the south-west of Neusiedelersee, and the surrounding plains
are covered with millions of them.

If the earthquake-prediction of the Monk of Dree and the
prophet of 1598 be reckoned by the o'.d style, the 16th of this

third month of 1842 will not arrive before next June.

and appreciated in his own day. it consists of only some dozen

RUMOURS OF THE DAY.

At the request of several Tories of distinction, Sir Robert
Peel has generously consented to postpone his remedial free-
tuk measures till the day of the earthquake.
'ie understand that among other alarms that the prophecy
of the earthquake has occasioned, it has had the effect of
frightening several attornies into fits—of honesty ! But this is
so improbable a rumour that we cannot give credence to it.

COLONIAL PASSENGERS' BILL.

On the motion of Lord STANLEY, the order of the day
for going into Committee on this Bill, for the purpose of
postponing it, was read. The Noble Lord observed,
that his object in so moving was to postpone
the consideration of the Bill to Wednesday next,
in the hope that, by that time, he would be able
to go into Committee, pro forma, for the purpose of
malting various alterations and amendments at the
suggestion of parties interested in the matter. As
emigrants would be materially affected by the
passing of this Bill, it might be convenient for him
to state now that he did not propose to carry the
Bill so as to affect emigration in the present spring. He
meant to insvrt a clause to provide that the =measure
should not come into operation preViona to the Ist of
June next,

,
Mr. H AWES said, if he understood the Noble Lord,
the Secretary fir did Colonies, he Meant to-go. into Com-'
mittee pro' foraira. on Monday. Of course the, Noble-
Lord would give notice at a future day of when he meant
to go really into Committee.
Lord STANLEY said that several parties must neces- '
sarily be consulted with regard to the proposed altera-
tions and amendments in the Bill, and therefore it was that
he meant to go into Committee, pro forma, on Monday.
Of course he would give ample notice of the several
clauses and amendments to be introduced in Committee
on the Bill.

Sir ROBERT PEEL appeared at the bar and presented
papers by her Majesty's command.

Sir CHARLES NAPIER asked the Noble Lord, the.
Secretary for the,. Colonies, when he would proceed

Indies ?

Lord STANLEY said that not being aware of any
other objection to the measure than that stated by the
Gallant Commodore, he would proceed with the Bill ac-
cording to the intention he (the Noble Lord) had al-
ready stated.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR CHINA

The following are the arrangements, we learn, respecting
the China reinforcements
The 6th Regiment Madras Native Infantry, at Ganjam, have
received orders from the supreme Government to proceed to
Calcutta, to be embarked for China. This announcement was
received by the regiment on parade with three cheers ; a better,
selection could not have been made throughout the army. ,
The 2d Native Infantry, and 17th Native Infantry, at Viza-
gapatam, are also ordered to China by the Madras Government,
and two other regiments of Native Infantry are ordered to be.
kept in readiness to proceed if necessary ; the 41st Regiment
will be one of these, and the 14th Native Infantry, now at
Moulmein, is to be the other, if it is found advisable to with-
draw the 31st and 14th Native Infantry from thence ; should
it not be thought right to do so, the 14th are to remain, and
relieve the 31st, whose tour of duty will expire in May.
A troop of Horse Artillery, with thirty horses, and one com-
pany of Foot Artillery are also to go, and the two companies
at present in China ,Ire to be made up to their full comple-
ment. The Sappers and Miners at present in China are to be
co mpleted; and, a reinforcement of 200 men to be sent; 500
gun Lascar, are also ordered. It is supposed the 17th Native
In War),
will be embarked in vessels sent from Calcutta, but
the reinforcements from Madras will follow, amounting to
a pout 3,000 men.
The Calcutta papers mention that Government have taken
up seventeen ships from that port and Madras, for the convey-
ance of troops and stores to China. Major Blundell proceeds
in command of the Foot Artillery reinforcements, now under
orders fer China; Captain Hall, with Lieutenants Kinkaid
and M'lntire, accompany the Horse Artillery. The troop
only take thirty horses, but are provided with spare harness
fq,r what cattle they can catch. Lieutenants Briggs, Macpher.
son, Collingwood, and Waddell, are attached to the company
of Foot. Artillery. Five hundred gun Lascars will be assembled
at the Mount by the end of this month. Two hundred store
Lascars, instead of one hundred, as at first ordered,.are to ac-
company the troops. It has not yet been determined whether
the Artillery take six or three-pounders ; but each gun is to
be provided with 200 rounds of spherical case shot, besides an
abundance of other ammunition. The whole will sail about
the first week in Much.—Bonibay Times.

MAW AND POLICE,

At the Antrim Assizes, on Monday, upwards of ninety
Orangemen were arraigned for walking in procession, &e.
They presented a goodly throng, filling the old dock, the front
dock, the gallery, and every spot where a prisoner could be
placed, and were fined from 21. to 101. each.
The trial of the two prisoners, Calgan and Doherty, for the
attempt to murder Mr. Biddulph, commenced at Tullamore on
Monday, and at a late hour on Tuesday the Jury had not
agreed on their verdict, but an acquittal was anticipated.
At the Lincoln Assizes, on the Bth inst., Ann Johnson,
aged 33, and Amy Johnson Marshall, aged 17 years, were tried
for the murder of Thomas Johnson, a farming bailiff, on the
Bth of November. The elder prisoner was the wife of the de-
ceased, and the younger his illegitimate daughter. Clear evi-
dence was given that the unfortunate man had been poisoned,
but the c:•ime could not be proved against the prisoners, and
the Jury, after retiring for 20 minutes, returned a verdict of
Not Guilty.
Contributions to the amount of 471. have been, within a few
days, transmitted to the sitting Magistrate at Marlborough-
street, for the relief of Mr. Annesley, whose case has excited
so much sympathy. , It appears, that he had been, for years a
regular contributor to Brewster's Encyclopredia.
In:the case, of Dawes v. the. Baron de Feucheres, before the
Prerogative Court, application was made on Thursday for an
order of Court,tck examine a witness at present a nun in the
convent at Hammersmith, as, she had bound herself by a vow
not to leave the convent. Sir. Jenner Fust granted the order.
