EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.

A Court of Directors was held this day at the
East India House, at which the Honourable HUGH
LYNDSAY, the Governor, took the Chair. The
Captains of a few ships in the Company's service
were sworn and their papers given them. It was
then intimated that the new Chief Governor of
India, Lord William Bentinek, would not be sworn
into that high situation until next week, as the
Board are waiting the arrival of expected dispatches
from Lord Amherst.
THE MARKET S.—(l HI S DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The Wheat al3 of this week zre small. There is very little don
in the trade at Monday's prices. Some sales are made of the liberated Barley this morning, at the same terms as last
quoted. Beans and Pease are unaltered. Oats of dry quality
fully support the terms of last market-day. The Flour trade
remains dull.

The only kind of Esh of

There never was a finer season for the crops
than that with which we have been blessed by a kind and
bountiful Providence since the latter end of June. Already
has the greater part of the hay in the County Dublin been
saved, and in the best order. The produce as to quantity
is unparalleled. Early fields of wheat are putting on the
yellow autumnal hue, indicative of their being soon ready
for the sickle. The progress they hare made towards ma-
turity within the last fortnight is surprising. Yesterday
We observed some fields, a few miles from town, in which
the grain was quite full and plump, and beginning to
hoden. A fortnight ago these fields were only in blossom,
aid the grain but just beginning to form in the ear. The
harvest will be a good deal earlier than we expected it
Iv°ulti be in the latter end of last month. Farmers are
beginning to wish for rain, for the potatoes..—,Dublin

OLD BAILEY, JULY 17.

The RECORDER disposed of the few 'cases which
remained on the list, in doing which be was engaged
till four o'clock, though none of them had the least
public interest. He then adjourned to the other
Court to pass the sentences on the prisoners who
had been convicted.

Mr. Sergeant• ARABIN took his seat for a few
tninutes, during which there were between 20 and
30 prisoners called, and discharged by proclamation,
there being no bills found against them.
NEW COURT.

Susan Smith, aged 17, was indicted for stealing a
Leghorn bonnet, the property of Elizabeth Stewart.
The Jury found her Guilty, but recommended her
to mercy ; and
The Deputy RECORDER, considering that the best
mode of placing her out of further danger would be
to give her up to her relation, ordered that she
should be fined Is. and discharged.
She was then given up to her aunt. _ _

Abraham Isaacs, liavid Jacobs, and &marl
Barnct, three young lads, were convicted of picking
the pocket of a young boy in Whitechapel.
The Deputy RECORDER, after observing that it
was the intention of the law authorities to visit the
crime of pocket-picking with the severest punish-
ment, sentenced.the prisoners to 14 years' transport-
ation.

Solomon Jacobs was indicted for stealing one pair
of gilt bracelets and two pair of gilt ear-rings, the
property of BoWers and Son, hardwareinen, of
Thavies-inn, Holborn.

The Jury returned•a verdict of Guilty.
The whole attic cases marked for trial in this
Court .having been gone through, the Court adjourn-
ed at two o'clock till half past four.

to the British Nation that Lord Cochrane and
GeneratChurch are so cramped for want of means,
that even 3,0001. would be acceptable. What
3,0001. might do in Greece we know not, but in
England it. would not convey a single British
regiment to Lisbon. If the war between Turkey
and Greece could be ended, it would, indeed, be
desirable 'as far as humanity is concerned, and
especially if it could be done without weakening
our ally, the Turks, and render them an easy
conquest to the Russians. It is strange, how-
ever, when we come to consider all these things,
that we, a Christian Power, should be indebted
to a Mahonunedan Power for security against the
artacks of other Christian States on the East In-
dia possessions of a Christian Power.—Morn-

CRICKET.

The grand Cricket-match at Brighton,—Sussex against
All England, has at length terminated, after a most severe
and well-contested struggle of three days, in favour of All
England, who have won, however, by 24 runs only. The
anxiety which prevailed as the game approached to a close,
is past description; and it was increased by the fluctuations
which almost to the last moment rendered victory doubtful.
There has been a good deal of money lost and won by this
match. Lieut. Citeslyu, of the '7th Hussars, who played
on the side of Sussex, has, it is said, lost 3001. The
fielding of the men on both 'sides was remarkably fine, so
much so, that 40 balls were, at one time bowled without
scoring a single run. The ground was most numerously
attended, there being from 4,000 to b,OOO persons present
each day. The following is a statement of the game :

SAILING MATCH.

Yesterday the Silver Cup, given by the friends of Mr.
Swsyne, of the Red House, was contested for by the fol-
lowing pleasure yachts :—Lady Louisa, Rob Roy, Don
Giovanni, Fortitude, and Swift. The Sylph and about
four others were entered, but owing to some dispute, only
the above started. The distance was confined to Chelsea
Reach, about 11 miles, and was performed in fine style in
an hour and ten Minutes by the winner, half of which was
against tide. The vessels started at half-past three o'clock,
the Lady Louisa shewing the way ; and after some ad-
mirable sailing the match was thus decided :
Lady Louisa, 18 tons 1 •
Rob Roy, 16 tons
The other vessels did not sail the distance. The Louisa
was well managed, and kept the lead during the whole of
the match. The Scotch dresses of the crew of the Rob
Roy attracted much attention., The Red House was
thronged with respectable company, and the attendance on
the River was very numerous.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Juror 26.
GIBBON 5. TOWNLEY.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a new trial
of the issue in this case, the question iu which was,
as to the plaintiff's title as heir-at-law, ex-pgrte
materna, of one Matthew Gibbon.
The LORD-CHANCELLOR asked what was the
value of the property ?
•Mr. HEALD believed it was about 1301. a year.
The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that a matter
of such small value should have been so much liti-
gated. It had already been tried four times, and he
wondered that any of the property was left, after
the expellees which must have been incurred about it.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, two verdicts had
been given in favour of his clients.
Mr. HEALD was incompetent to argue this case,
not having been present the trial of the issue.
He was.to have had the assistance of Mr. Pollock;
and if gentlemen of the common-law bar could not
attend, he must give up such cases as required their
assistance.
It was then agreed that the Solicitor-General and
the counsel with him should be .heard, and the
further .betiring.of Alta ease was postponed. „ •

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 26.

RESPONSIBILITY OF SHIP-OWNERS-TESL, WOIF AND

OTHERS.

Mr. BICKERSTETH said that he had to apply to his
Honour for an injunction to restrain the defendants
from proceeding in actions at law against the plain-
tiff, and for leave to pay certain monies into Court.
The plaintiff was the sole owner of a vessel called
the Pomona, freighted from Portugal, and having on
board property belonging to the defendants. The
vessel was (Liven, by stress of weather, into Gibral-
tar, where it was found that considerable damage
had been done to the cargo. The defendants then
brought their action against the plaintiff, to recover
the amount of the damage thus sustained, and it. was
for the prevention of their proceeding with the same
that the present injunction was prayed.
The VICE-CUANCELLOR said, that the case was
perfectly clear. He was bound to grant both the
injunction and the prayer for the payment of the
money into Court. He could not help remarking
here, that it was a very odd circumstance that the
people who were most clamorous against the tyranny
and oppression of the Court of Chancery were the
mercantile persons ; and yet those very persons had
for the last few years contrived, by the aid of Par-
liament, to shelter themselves under its powers in a
variety of instances. Upon the present case he
should only observe, that it had called into operation
quite a new jurisdiction of the Court.

ancestors," but while we get rid of the errors of antiquity,
we ought to preserve with the most considerate care what-
ever of excellence it has bequeathed to us. It is a remark-
able and disgraceful fact, that the most redundant and con-
fused laws upon our Statute-book are comparatively of
modern date. It seems as if those who drew up modern
Acts of Parliament, were more desirous to consult for the
benefit of those who receive emolument by the manufac-
ture of Acts, than for the public interests. We hope Mr.
Peel will not rest satisfied until he takes away from us this
reproach. To wrap up laws in a verbiage which makes
them unintelligible, is to make legislation rather a curse
than a benefit to the community. Hence all the litigation
and expensive proceedings which arise on what is called
the construction "of Acts of Parliament. But if our
legislators would imitate the simplicity of language of
Magna Chanta, it might lessen undoubtedly the profits
of the bar, but it would greatly promote the interests
which society have in a clear and distinct understanding
of the laws.—lbid.
