without calling upon the counsel for the defendant in error. Their
Lordships ordered the judgment of the Court below to be affirmed

DiRLEY V. TILE QUEEN.
The arguments in this case occupied their Lordships the

eery-lane to-day, and heard unopposed petitions and short causes.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DA x .

(Before the Vice:Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
EXPARTE MOORE IN RE WESTROPP.—JUDGMENT.

His HONOUR gave jugment in this bankrupt petition to-day, the
object of which was to allow the proctor in the suit in the Eccle-
siastical Court to prove his costs as a debt under the Commission.
The Court allowed the proof.

(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
LAUDER V. INGERSOLL.— JUDGMENT.

His HONOUR gave judgment in this case to-day, the arguments
in which were concluded yesterday. Tl,e case came before the
Court upon motion, the object of which was, on behalf of the in-
fant plaintiff, to remove the next friend, and for the ap.
pointment of a new one. His Honour said there was
no ground for imputing delay to the next friend, or for the Court's
acting upon that supposition without an inquiry. The ground of
the application was that the solicitor in the suit, and of the next
friend whom he had appointed, ought not to have been the solicitor
in the suit. Now the question in his Honour's mind was, whether,
if he made the order asked, it would be for the benefit of the infant.
The Court thought the application a proper one, so far as it would
withdraw the control of the suit from Mr. Elworthy, the solicitor
of the next friend. On the whole, his Honour thought that the
best course he could adopt would be to refer it to the Master, to
appoint a new next friend, who was to give security for the costs
already incurred, and to pay Mr. Elworthy's costs as between
solicitor and client, Mr. Elworthy to pay the costs of the present
application, and the costs of appointing the next friend, the Court
reserving the question by whom ultimately the whole of the costs
were to be borne, and all further proceedings to be stayed till after
the Master had made his report.
FRANCIS V. GROVER.—JUDGMENT.

His HONOUR stated that his opinion in this case was, that the
annuity was not barred altogether. As to the revocation of the
legacy, the Court thought there ought to be an issue to try whether
the words in the will of the testator written in pencil formed part
of his will.

Mr. WALKER said it would be impossible to try the issue at the
next assizes at Monmouth, as they would take place very shortly.
He would suggest that the issue should be tried at Bristol.

Mr. ROMILLY could see no objection to the proposition, but re-
quested that the case might stand over till Thursday, in order that
he might communicate with his clients.

The case was accordingly ordered to stand ever till that day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuaeneLL.)
BARROW V. JUPP.

This was an action to recover the sum of 19/, 14s. 9d., for coals
supplied to defendant.

Mr. CROUCH said, the plaintiff is a coal and iron owner at Rugby,
and the defendant is a coal.merchant at Paddington. In April
last the master of a barge belonging to defendant called and asked
for a boat-load of coals on credit for defendant, until delivered at
Paddington. This was agreed to, and plaintiff's agent also con-
sented to pay the tonnage, and add it to the account. The coals
were subsequently delivered, but defendant refused to pay until an
action was commenced, when defendant called on plaintiff and ten-
dered the amount of the demand, but without costs. The plain-
tiff's agent refused to take it on the ground that it was to be paid
in London.

The evidence, however, went to show that defendant said he
had given the money to Marlow, the captain, and if plaintiff did
not like to take it he might go on with his action, for Marlow was
the person to be looked to. The coals were charged at I ls. 6d.
per ton, with 2s. 10 %d. per ton for lock dues,4s.,a ton for freight-
age, and Is. Id. City dues.
For the defendant it was contended that the dealing was between
Marlow and plaintiff, but that nevertheless the amount had been
tendered to plaintiff's attorney, who refused to take it unless ss.
was paid for a letter demanding payment.
The jury gave a ♦erdict for the defendant.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—The Imperial
ukase relative to the dress of the Jews is stated in an account from
the Russian frontiers to have already produced some deplorable
effects. These were, indeed, not intended by the Emperor, but
were almost the inevitable consequence of a measure which so sud.
denly and violently interferes with the roost cherished habits of a
people. In Bordiezew, a considerable commercial town in
Nolhynia, where, as in many towns of southern Russia, the Jews
form the majority of the inhabitants, some young Jews appeared in
the synagogue without long locks of hair; the Chassidim, almost
fanatical religious sect, prevailing chiefly in Russia and Poland, re.
sembling in some respects the Shakers of North America, incensed
at this violation of a sacred custom, fell furiously on the blasphe-
mous, as they called them, threatening to tear them to pieces.
All their representations, that they had only obeyed
the commands of the Emperor, were unavailing. The
Chassidim exclaimed that the Emperor could not command
them in a religious manner ; that he might be the
god of the Jawanim (so the Jews call the Russians, as properly
the Greeks), but he was not theirs ; that they should rather suffer
themselves to be stayed alive than to submit to such wicked or-
ders. A dreadful tumult occurred, and two of the young men are
said to have expired under the ill treatment of the Chassidim. A
strict investigation is set on foot by the Governor, and we are as-
sured that fifteen of the Chassidim have already been sent to Sibe-
ria. What has grieved these unhappy fanatics worse than all the
rest is, that before setting out on their melancholy journey, they
had to change their national dress for that usually worn by the
exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long
ocks being, of course, the first sacrifice.
The following distinguished company have visited
the Lyceum Theatre during the last few days :—His Royal

INGENIOUS TOBACCO SMUGGLlNG.—Yesterday a
seizure of casks, which contained 2001bs. of cigars and cheroots,
was made on board a vessel at Brewer's.quay, Lower Thames_
street, by an officer named Kirgman. The vessel had just ar-
rived from Holland with a cargo of butter, cheese, and other
goods, and seven beer casks, which were directed to "Brewer's
wharf—to be left till called for, and were about to be landed as
empty casks in the usual manner when the revenue officer, Kirg-
man, having a suspicion of something wrong, took off the head of
one of the casks, and it appeared at the first glance to be quite
empty, but on a closer inspection he found the barrel was lined
with a tin case of the same shape, and between that and the barrel
itself the cigars and cheroots were concealed. He then opened the
other barrels, and found them lined with tin in the same manner,
and a similar quantity of cigars and cheroots in each. He imme-
diately seized the casks and their contents, and rolled them to the
Queen's Warehouse, at the same time giving information to the
Board of Customs, who ordered the vessel to be put under seizure
also for the present. Each barrel contained about 301bs. of cigars
and cheroots. They ate of the best quality, and the duty upon
them alone is 901.

CUBA SUGAR.-A small impartation of sugar from
the island of Cuba was offered for sale in Liverpool on Monday at
a broker's auction. The lot consisted of a hundred tierces, of three
different qualities, and the importation took place, we believe,
without any reference to the question of its admission, upon the
most favourable terms which the Spanish Government have claimed
fur the colony. Before the sale the broker agreed to allow the
buyer 14 per cent, tare. The offers for the first 10 tierces
commenced at 18s. per cwt., in bond, and for some time
no other bid was made. The broker urged that the price of
Cuba sugar of the same quality in the London market was 245. 6d.,
and intimated that the importer would close, if the offers ran be-
tween 21e. and 245. No higher sum, however, than 18s. 3d. was
bid, and, consequently, the whole was withdrawn. It is stated in
well.informed circles in Liverpool, that the indisposition to buy
was caused by the law officers of the Crown not having yet given
their opinion whether the slave- grown sugars of Ceiba and Porto
Rico are to be admitted on the same terms as those of Venezuela
and Louisiana.
WEST SUFFOLK.-BURY ST. EDMUND'S, SATUR-
DAY.—The writ for the election of a Member for the western divi-
sion of this county, in the room of the late Col. ftushbrooke, came
down yesterday, and the High Sheriff has appointed the 6th of
July for the nomination of candidates. Should there be a contest
(of which there seems to be little doubt), the election will com.
mence on Thursday, the 10th, the Reform Act giving an interval
of two clear days in county elections, and the poll, if persisted in,
must be kept open until four o'clock on Friday evening. In that
case the official declaration would not be made till the Monday
following.

We regret to learn that Lieut.• Colonel Brunton,
of the 13th Light Dragoons, has been obliged to retire from his
regiment, on account of ill health.—lpswich Expreis.

CORK THEA'FRE.
MADAME CELESTE AND MR. WEBSTER.
The interest created by the superior acting of the inimitable
Celeste, and that most excellent comedian, Mr. Webster, night I
increases. By the way in which Webster sustained the arduous
character of the Baron Raveriburgh, in the Woman Hater, and the
scapegrace Phillipot, in the Trumpeter's Daughter, in the early part
of the week, he, with whose talent as a manager of the most popular
London theatres we have been long familiar, proved himself to be a$
successful and popular before, as behind the curtain. Last evening,
notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there
was a large attendance, and a fashionable audience to witness
the production of The Mysterious Stronger, taken from the
French piece &Ilan ou Le Diable a Parrs. The character of
the Mysterious Stranger, who, until the denouement, is OP"
posed to be the " Prince of Darkness," was sustained hi
Celeste in a style which drew from every part of the house the
most enthusiastic plaudits. The admirable manner in which she
supported the various parts she had to assume in her efforts to sal?
the Count de Beausoliel from the danger which surrounded hite'
and the successful stratagems which she employed for the purpose
of exposing to him the hollowness of his friends, and the infideldi
of his mistress—particularly the scene with Mademoiselle de Nan'
trite in the house of Beausoliel, where she persuades De Nantelle,
that the reported arrest of Bcausoliel's banker was unfounded, and
induces the inconstant fair one to take a new and more wealthl
lover, was performed in a manner which could hardly be equalled
by any other actress at present on the stage.
Webster, in the character of Crequet, the servant of 13eaW
soliel, contributed greatly to the success of the piece. TV.
struggle between his fears of the Mysterious Stranger when en,
tering into the contract, and the anxiety he evinces to possess ht{
little Madeline, twelve thousand francs a year, the cow and the
pig, were most naturally and effectively represented by him, the
house being throughout the scene convulsed with laughter
by his ludicrous and lugubrious appearance. On the fall of the
curtain Celeste and Webster were loudly called for, and 0e
their appearance were saluted in the most complimentary manner,
A new petite comedy followed, entitled Susanna, or Marriage and
Minuets. The expressive and graceful pantomime of Celeste as the
Dumb Girl in the early part of the peice, the easy and dignified MO'
ner in which she glided through the Minuet de la Cour with Webster,
and the interim mental affliction betrayed by her acting in the scene
which led to the restoration of her speech, could only be given in the
style that they were by Celeste. Mr. Webster as Brinsley Burn*
a fop of the time of Louis Le Grand,:was as unbending in his can
riage and self-conceited as any exquisite of that period could we!
be. Although we cannot say of him as well as of Celeste that
" Grace was in all his steps," his dancing in the minuet and the
Polka would do credit to many who are high in that department,
The other members of the company sustained their parts respectabli,
and the Mysterious Stranger was again announced for represents'
tion this evening amid much applause.—Cork Southern Reporter.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR DOVER.-012
night as an engine and tender were proceeding up the line towards
Westenbanger, at between twelve and one o'clock, they calor,
contact with the down mail train, which was about to enter the
station, and was crossing from the down to the up line, in copse'
quence of the alterations on the down line not being complet''
Both engines were much injured, and some of the metals torn uP
Fortunately the passengers escaped with a few bruises, scratches'
and disfigured garments. Assistance was immediately on the spot'
and the mail train engine, not being so much injured as the other'
took the train on to Dover. In order to prevent the recurrence
of such a disaster, the down trains will, in future, discharge thel;
freight at the proper platf.rm instead of crossing the line.-1)04

ACCIDENT iN HYDE PA RK.—A man named Charles
Giles, residing at Endell-street, Long-acre, met with a Wel
accident yesterday in Hyde Park, by falling off a temporary rcatla
that he had erected for persons to stand on to see the review. sy.
fell on the leg of an inverted chair, which penetrated his badfi
and inflicted such serious injury that little hope is entertainei
his recovery.
In the night of the 21st ult., towards twelve o'clock
an unusual swell of water, resembling a high tide, took place et
Cette, and continued rising until two in the morning. It had at
that period reached the top of the quay, and after remaining
for a short time, began to fall, and continued descending until It
reached the very foundation of the wall. The larger vessels be/01
firmly moored escaped injury, but a number of boats were force.
away, and some of them stove in. A violent storm arose bran*
diately after, and a heavy fall of rain, accompanied with loud cite
of thunder, took place about five in the morning. It is supposed
that the entrance. of the sun on the summer solstice, conjointi!
with the full moon, may have caused this phenomenon.—Galignens'
A FATHER COMMITTED FOR THE MAINSLAUGHYBS
or its SON. —Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, M,P., resumed an ad-
journed inquest at the Royal Free Hospital,on the body of Geor3e
Chalk, aged 13. The deceased, his father, and grandfather, were
engaged in the brickfields of Mr. Bassett, Cainden-town, and:on
the 6th instant decea•ed's father was displeased with him for not
having done sonic work which he desired him to perform. The
father, enraged at being disobeyed by his son, knocked him down'
kicked him in the side, and then jumped on him. Mr. Mulleins,
who was in the first instance called upon to attend him, and 10'
Cook, house-surgeon of the Free Hospital, who ultimately had care
of him, deposed that the deceased informed them that he had been
ill.treated as stated, and that they found that he was suffering front
a violent inflammation in the lower part of his abdomen, caused bl
external violence, which terminated fatally on the 2.2 el instant.
Upon a post mortern examination an extensive abscess was found
on the right side, between the liver and diaphragm, and from the
latter a perforation into his lungs ensued which caused death, The
jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against
the unfortunate father, who was committed to Newgate on the
coroner's warrant.

FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BATTERSEA.—Yesterday
morning an inquiry, which stood adjourned from last week, was
concluded at the Red House, Battersea, before Mr. Carter, relative
to the recent stcam.boat collision off that place, by which Mr'
Joseph Cooper, a fine young man, and member of the Nautilus
Club, lost his life. From the evidence, which was of a very con-
flicting nature, as many as fourteen or fifteen witnesses being ex-
amined, it appeared that on Monday last, about half.past six
o'clock in the evening, the Matrimony iron steam-boat was pro-
ceeding towards Chelsea, on the Surrey side of the river, near the
lied House, when in snaking for the now pier, off the British Flag
Tavern, a light wager.boat, containing the deceased and another
gentleman belonging to the same club, shot out from the shore,
apparently fur the purpose of clearing the pier before the steamer
carne up. The captain had noticed the boat previously, but lost
sight of it for a few minutes behind a dredging machine, when it
again shot out right in the way of the steamer. The engines
were promptly stopped, and the wheels reversed, and everything
adopted in order to check her progress, but unfortunately she
came in fearful collision with the boat. The friend of the deceased
perceiving the danger, jumped overboard, and was saved by some
watermen ; but the deceased, who had got up in the boat appa-
rently with the intention of warding off the blow, went down
with the craft, which was shivered to pieces by the force of the
collision. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of Accidental Death.

LONDON 1311ILANTIIROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver-
sary festival of this Society was held last night at the London

Salmon, &c. &c. The chairman, in addressing the company
upon the "grand toast" of the evening, observed that, during the
first two years of the existence of the Society, the funds averaged

at Lcytonstone, on Friday, the 20th ultimo, a match for 501. a
side took place between E. Underwood, Esq., and Bright, Esq.,

Mr. Underwood continued the sport by killing in succession 9.1
birds more, the last six being double shots, making a total of 02
out of 33.—Essex Herald.
