ETON COLLEGE.

An Eton Paper tilos notices the acts of in-
subordioniLtn which recently took place in that
College

" It i 3 sNith great regret that we perform the
ttopleasant duty of noticing a serions interruption
of the usual ;toad order that distinguishes the first
ponlie selz,ol 'of the country. During part of the
pcesent week many of the scholars t't Eton Cal-
have united to resist the discipline of the
Institution, and to assail the proper objects of
their reverence and esteem with wilful disrespect.
The extent and the publicity of these unhappy oc-
currences preclude the exercise of any desire that
we nay feel to confine the knowledge of them
wilitio the walls of the College. At the same time
it is not necessary that we should attempt the pain.
fu[ task of detailing the imprudent ebtillitinns of
high-spirited youths, rushing upon error with cha-
racteristic impetuosity, and persevering in it front
mistaken notions of honour. We lament to
add, that she regulations prescribed by the pa-
re•ntal prudence of the Ilead Master have not been
maintained without recourse to the extreme and
most serious punishment of public expulsion. Se-
ven, young gentlemen, whose natnes.we forbear to
mention, have suffered this penalty, and two
wheys have been privately removed from the
school. The temperance and firmness of the Head
Ptldster and his fellow-instructors could alone
have succeeded in codling the dangerous spirit
which nianifeSted itself. We sincerely trust that
the tranquillity of this important Institution will
experience no future violation."

DRESDFUL ACCIDENT BY FIRE-WORKS.—The
ntessent:er of au apothecary in Kentish-town, who
was employed to carry medicines about to the se-
_ . _

veraf patients of his master, had, on the sth of
November, purchased a quantity of squibs, two
dozen of which he hail put 'into his breeches
pocket. As he went along, he let one of them off,
but unfortunately some of the sparks thereof com-
ing in contact with the touch-paper of those in
his breeches pocket, almost instantaneously set
times!: in a blaze. The boy was terrified, and did not
put his hand into his pocket for tear of burning
it ; in vain did he call to tie by-standers, for they
were equally terrified with himself: Shortly a
tremendous explosion was heard, and the specta-
tors were shocked with the horrible sight of his
howos:gifshing from his shrimper:. The shrieks
or limy roused the beholders at length to a
5en5.7 of charity, and he was shortly after carried
to St, Thomas's Hospital, where he now lingers
with veq slender hopes of his recovery.
e are concerned to state, that on Tuesday
!might Captain GIBBS, late of the city of Cork Mi-
litia. fell down stairs io his house on the Black-
r,ek-road, lend teceii.ed so violent a contusion on
Lis bead, tha.t, notwithstanding the most prompt
medical assistance, he expired in time course of.a
few hours.—(Cork Mercwitile Chronicle.)

LAW INTELLIGSNCE.

COURT OF CLIANCk:.:Y, Nov.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, AT THE RELATION OF

THE MARQUIS OF' BLANDFORD, V. HIS GRACE THE

DUK.I.: OF MARLBOROUGH.

The SOLLCITOrt-Gt3NERAL said, he was instructed
to move the Court to grant an iniutiction for re-
straining his Grace the Duke of Marlborough from
proceeding to cut down the growing timber in
Blenheim Park„ or in any manner removing the
ornamental and other timber in that district. The
question was one of peculiar importance, as it in-
volved the rights of a tenant entail ; and, under
the present circumstances, he had no doubt the
Court would grant the injunction. The property
in question- was by two Acts of Parliament in the
3d and 4th of Queen Anne given to the then Duke
of Marlborough, in consideration of the very great
services which that illustrious warrior h►ad ren-
dered to the country. By the sth of Queen Anne,
the property in question was more secured to the
Duke for the benefit of himself and successors, and
it was rendered incapable of being ever disposed
of or put away. The Court would see this by
the section of the Act which he was now going
to read.

The LORD CHANCELLOR conceiveu that it
would be better to deter reading any thing till
the whole was fully argued on both sides. The
yurstion involved in this case was one of consi-
derable importance, in every point of view, par-
ticularly as it would lead to a full discussion on
the difference between a tenant entail and a te-
nant for life. He remembered Lord Shrews-
bury's case, which had a striking analogy to the
present one, and he thought it his duty now to
grant the injunction on these terms, that the
party who obtained it would give immediate •no-
tice to the other side that it had been granted, in
order that they might come forward, and have
the 'case fully argued without delay. He wished
it to be perfectly understood, tl►lit this injunc-
tion was issued generally, and included all the
timber, both ornamental and glowing, but lie
gave it without prejudice to any future applica-
tion.—lnjunction wanted.
