MR. CHAMBERS THE BANKER.----in the Rolls
Court last evening, Mr. Chambers, the banker, petitioned that
Mr. Law, who had acted as solicitor for parties having adverse in-
terests in the cause in which he was engaged, might be removed

crificed their interest to that of ether parties. His Honour, the
Master of the Rolls, having, however, carefully considered all the
facts of the case, said he was of opinion, that Mr. Law had evinced
great carefulness of the property of the infants, and therefore dis-
missed the petition,

Morton's School for Grown Children is the most
successful Comedy that has been brought out at either of the Win-

dented in the history of the modern drama. The receipts increase

of the author of Speed the Plough, who, at different periods of
his life, has contributed so much to the amusement of Town and
Country.

In the Library of the Collegiate Church at Con-

downward. Among other curious particulars it is stated that
Eve, at the birth of her first-bo►n, had the assistance of a couple
of midwives.—Morning Paper.
Frost is a sufficient evil to the inhabitants of Lon-
don and to the passengers in the streets, without its being en-
hanced by the dangerous and reprehensible practice of allowing

vestrymen ?—Morning Paper.

Water is generally deemed perfectly level, if still ;
but it is certain, from the rotundity of the earth, that a canal, a
mile long, having one continuate surface, has oue of its ends eight
inches below the level of the other.—Dublin Morning Register.

Fox HUNT EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday.
the 13th inst, the Kildare hounds drew the wood cover of Nar-
raghmore, where a good fox would have shown sport, had
he not taken to the great bog of Narraghmore, which was a
great nonplus to a field of sportsmen, at least eighty in number.
As soon as the hounds could be packed, they drew the famous
cover of Spratstown, from which a sporting fox broke in good
style, directing his course through the beautiful demesne of Bal-
'inure, thence over the hills to the demesne of Rathsallagh, keels
ing his way
.towards Tournant. Here he was headed, and
wheeled to the left, running down the wind through Rathsallagh,
crossing the river Griss (in which many a determined sportsman
was treated to a cold bath) to Usk, and on to llatfield Goss.—
Here, scorning cover, he legged it by Halverstown onto Grange-
beg, and thence to Moon Hill, close to the demesne of Mr.
Latouche, of Harristown, where he was rwn to earth at a mo-
ment when he had but half a field odds of the hounds, after a
run of at least 18 miles in one hour and 3g minutes. It is remar-
kable that reynard had scorned three capital covers in the run, at
the termination of which, of the eighty gentlemen who started as
i b
he broke, and who were composed from the three adjoining hunts,
namely, Kildare, Tullow, and Kiikenny, only eleven rode through;
the foremost of whom, when reynard took the earth, was Mr.

LAW TNTELI.TOXNCE. _

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(TaiI DAY.)
ATTORNICY-QS?.ZZAL v. lAil. OF ♦71.8.2(.

Mr. ATTORNTY-GINERAL stated, that this petisisa had been
put into the paper of to-day per order. The petitioa was Mad by
the Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Oxford; it stated that
certain property had been left by a gentleman of the nuns
of Bolter, to found a charity in the neighbourhood of
Oxford, for the support of six poor men, and to be
called, " Cutler's Bolter Charity," and the object of
it was, to have a reference 'to the Master to enquire
whether it would be for the interest of the Charity, that it
should be exchanged for a farm in the possession of Mr. Blackall,
a gentleman of landed property in the same neighbourhood. The
Attorney-General did not think it his duty to oppose the reference
should the Court think proper to direct it, it being understood
that if the Master should report in favour of the exchange, the
expense should be borne by Mr. Blackall. In the absence of other
gentlemen instructed to appear, he had stated thus much, and
hating done so, be left it in the hands of the Court.

His LORASHIP ordered the reference.

time to look into this case, so as to give judgment oa the motion,

into Court.

The Loan CHANCELLOR really had not; ke hoped to be able
to prepare himself by the early part of next week; but Mr. Hart
must have known that his attention had been pretty much alsaised
down from attending the Theatre.
