LYONS r. GOLDING.

This was an action of trover, brought by the plaintiff,
who carries on business in Reading as a green grocer, to
recover compensation in damages for the unlawful seizure
and detention of the plaintiff's goods. After a long but
uninteresting trial, the Jury found a verdict for the de-
fendant.

Another Cabinet Council was unexpectedly
summoned at an hour's notice yesterday ; the Ministets
met at half-past one o'clock. The whole of the Members
of the Cabinet were present, with the exception of the
Duke of Wellington, who arrived in town at a quarter
past three o'clock, and immediately joined his colleagues :
the Council continued in deliberation till a quarter before
five o'clock.

The sudden departure of the Lord Chancel-
lor from the Cabinet Council on Sunday afternoon soon
after its assembling, was caused by his Lordship's having
received the King's commands to attend him at Windsor.

The balloting for new Members is going on
with great zeal at most of the fashionable clubs. At the
Athenaeum it the place of the Monday evening
convert atione.

We stated yesterday by mistake that the
Duke of Wellington went to attend the King, whereas
his Grace went to his seat, Strathfieldsaye, Hampshire,
to entertain the Judges, Sheriffs, &c. engaged on that
circuit.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has paid to
the credit of the Consolidated Fund, the sum of 150/.
remitted to him by a person unknown, for conscience sake.

The Masquerade at the Argyll rooms was
last night unusually brilliant, and kept up to a late hoar
with surprising spirit. The rooms weue splendidly and
tastefully illuminated, and the company, for the most part,
of a high order. Supper was served up at about one
o'clock. The wines were excellent.

MINOR TIIEATRES.-At the Surrey Sessions
this day, a deed of enrolment was lodged in the Court for
the purpose of authorising a Minor Theatre Theatrical
Fund ; when, after the usual forms had been gone through,
and the customary attestations made, the deed was received
and confirmed.

STRAND IMPROVEMENTS.—The alterations
in the Strand are proceeding rapidly, and will, when
finished, be a great public convenience; the influx of visi-
tors at Exeter 'Change, to see the Wild Beasts, is asto-
nishing, it is a crowd from morning till night. We are
glad to hear that so noble a collection has a chance of being
preserved to the public.

Government has purchased a quantity of land,
about SO or 90 acres, for the purpose of raising a line of
fortification on the outside of Mile Town, Sheerness, and
a ditch is now completed the whole extent of the line,
from the beach towards the Nore, to a fleet that run
to the sea wall towards the Medway ; this ditch is the line
of demarkation, and iv to be the outer edge of a moat that
will surround the works.—Essex Herald.

MONDAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCK.-At

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-('IMS DAV.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
IN THE MATTER OF MITCHELL, A LUNATIC.

The arguments in this matter, which have taken
up so great a portion of the time of the Court in
private, were concluded to-day at.'-one o'clock, but
in consequence, we understand, of the Lord Chan-
cellor's Mini-telid engagementß requiring his at-
tendance elsewhere, his Lordship did not take his
.seat in open Court.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

INJUNCTION-ROWLAND STEPHENSON'S PICTURES.

WELCH V. STRACHAN AND OTHERS.

Mr. Hoamt said he was instructed to move for
an injunction to restrain the defendants, assignees
of Rowland Stephenson, a bankrupt, from proceed-
ing to sell some very valuable pictures ; but as his
Learned Friend, Mr. Sugden, who was Counsel for
the defendants, was not in Court, he would not
make the motion at present, but merely ask his
Honour for an interim order against the party, it;
whose piissession the pictures were, to prevent any
thing being done with them.
Mr. KNIGHT—I appear for the gentleman who
has the custody of the pictures ; he has no interest
in them, but he has instructed me to say, that he
will not give up possession until the motion is heard;
they are of great value, particularly at the present
time, as the subject of several relates to the Catho-
lics.--(A laugh.)
Mr. HoaNE—Then, with your Honour's permis-
sion, I will merely take the usual order against Mr.
Knight's client, and postpone the motion until the
next Seal.
