VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, 3lnitem 20.
mArric V. TEMPLER.-8.11.111E V. SA K.

At the sitting of tke Court this morning, the Vice—
Chancellor gave judgment in these cases at very great
length ; they came before the Court on Exceptions to the
Master's Report, and although of very great intereet to the
parties concerned, were totally uninteresting to the public,
involving a legal question as to the construction of certain
words is an old will. His Honour overruled the objections,
and confirmed the Report, and directed the costs to be paid
out of the estate.

There is now every probability that the in—
tended Canal from Tunbridge Town to Penshurst will be
effected, the projectors baying expressed their determina-
tion that no expense shall stop them. When completed,
it will prove of the utmost importance to that part of the
country, in the saving of land carriage for coals and all
kinds of heavy goods, which are now obliged to he
fetched from the town of Tunbridge.—Brighton Gazette:.

It is said that a military gentleman; who
well known and much respected here, having " forsworn
the clang of martial arms," and taken up the burkioe►l
profession; is engaged by Mr. Brunton to playa few
nights, and•will soon make his appearance. A pied-clic'
tion for the stage, and the approval which; as an antatettr;-:
his performances met when <he little thought: .of turtling.
them to pecuniary account, it is said, urge him now to%
draw upon the bank of Shakespeare and Company,. to
him in suppOrting a numerous family; and we .trust
his draft will be duly honoured. His qualifications are,
we understand, of the first urder.,—Plyrnouth Journal.• •

A few days ago the following ludicrous ei:r-
eumstance occurred in this town. A young female, whose
perverse temper •and obstinate wickness had occasioned
much trouble to her friends and relatives, took pet at some
trivial grievanceolnd declared she would go drown herself.
In this temper she quitted bee parents' house, and meeting,
a youth of her acquaintance, informed him of her intention,
adding some dying requests and messages to her hien&
The young man knew her temper, and laughed at the idea
of suicide; in order, however, .to cure her silly whim, he
appeared to favour her ideas, u'nd • accompanied her to the
water•edge, where she lingered for,sonte minute', until he
jocularly reproached her, and said he: would not wait any
longer to see the sight, requesting ber,ro.shake hands with.
him at parting. She complied, and he,';took the opportu
nity of seizing her, and dipped her twa or three times
over bead In the river; he then brought ,her•intb nigh;
street, where he left her heartily sick 6r.slrowning, and
determined never to be so foolish again. 'The.yotingms"
has since spoken of the joke, and the girl note 4;108'4i Yer
own folly. It has cured her of suicide.-- Rostor Ga2ettt...

WiiALE.—We understand that a., 'whale,
measuring 57 feet in length, has hem taken in the neigti
bourhood of Oban by the united exertions of
a number of small fishing-boats. The fish hail bees Or
served for several weeks moving along the coatL and, 1:
consequeuee of the fishing-boats at times getting very etas-
to her, preparations were made for a regular harpooneer-
ing attack. On Thursday last, the l*th- instant, sevetat
boats started from Oban and the neighbourhood, equip
auwith harpoons, tackles, lances, &e., and after a attack °I
eight hours; succeeded in_ towing her to the. bay at Vas'
staffnage Castle. It is hoped the expectations of the fishers
will not be frustrated in regard to the profit of their prise,
to which they are certainly entitled in justice, although, /Il
UM. unrepealed "black act," the property of 1„„
fishes" may still be vested in the crown, andy "
transferred to another, who may be mean enough to sr"
rogate 19 himself the property of the fishers....GlasOg
