SWEET V. ARCHBOLD.

The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that with respect to this
application to dissolve the injunction that had been made
yesterday, he bad read the papers and made up his mind
on the various points. As to the piracy from the practice
of the Court of King's Bench into the practice of the
Court of Common Pleas, l►e had formed a very strong
opinion ; as well as with respect to the supposed licence.
These opinions, or the grounds of them, lie was unwilling
to express, unless called on to do so by Mr. Archbold's
Counsel (who had discretion enough not to make the call.)
The Court was of opinion that there must be a trial upon the
subject at law, particularly with respect to the effect of the
licence; but his Lordship was quite sure that before the
parties went into Court ►hey would come much nearer
to a settlement among themselves than the amount would
be of extra costs either party would have to pay ; and con-
sequently, that it would be infinitely more prudent for
them to come to an arrangement than go to trial.
The Council on both sides considered, after this intima-
tion from the Bench, it was probable that an arrangement
would be come to out of Court, and resting here reserve
to themselves the opportunity of mentioning the cause
again to his Lordship, should it become necessary.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
JUDGMENT.-FRY V. LORD SHERBORNE.

His HONOUR (theVice-Chancellor) gave a most elaborate
judgment in this case; the question in which was, whether
under the words of a settlement made upon the marriage of
a gentleman of the name of Estcorrt Creswell with a Miss
Wootton, their only child, a daughter, (under whom the
plaintiff claimed) was entitled previous to her death to have
a sum of 10,000/. raised as her portion under that settle-
ment. The Vice-Chancellor went through the facts of the
case with great minuteness, citing and commenting upon
several cases as authorities upoe which he acted in coming
to the conclusion he did, that Miss Creswell clearly was
entitled before her death to have her portion raised under
the settlement, and that those claiming under her ought to
have the 10,000/. which had been paid into Court by Lord
Shelborne, who, it appeared, had become a purchaser of
part of the Creswell estates. His Honour also directed
that the costs of all parties should be paid by the trustees.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
NEWBOLD V. MASON AND OTHERS.

This was an action to recover damages for an assault
which the plaintiff alleged had been committed upon hina
by the defendant.
After evidence had been adduced to prove the assault,

14r:.Justice J. PARKS left it to the Jury to say whether
they considered that the provocation given by the plaintiff
was sufficient to justify the assault.
The Jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a
verdict for the plantiff—Damages, 51.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY had an
interview this morning with the Duke of WELLINazotr, in
Downing-street.
A correspondent, who gives his name and
address, has sent the following statement :—Two ladies
were yesterday afternoon walking together in the Strand,
and an elderly man, of short stature, with a bundle under
his arm, in appearance much like a Spitalfields weaver,
followed close behind them, for a short distance, and from
his mouth squirted over the silk dresses of both ladies an
acid liquid, that entirely destroyed the colours of both their
silk dresses. Within there few days many ladies dresses,
have, we are told, been entirely spoilt in the same manner.

CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.-
A meeting of the Philosophical Society was held on
Monday evening, the Rev. Dr. TURTON, the President,
being in the Cliair. Mr. ROTHMAN, of Trinity College,
read a notice of an observation of the winter solstice at
Alexandria, which is rewarded in Sifnaun, and which has
hitherto not been understood, from its being spoken of by
the author as an observation of au equinox. Professor
WilEsvEu. continued reading his paper, " On the Causes
and Characters of Pointed Architecture ;" and explained
the influence of the pointed arch upon the other members
of buildings, through which influence the Romanesque
style was at last superseded by the very opposite forms of
the Gothic. It was stated also that the transition from
one of these styles to the other, which took place in Eng-
land by means of the early English style, was made in
Germany by means of a very different one, which may be
termed early German. Of this style the characters were
given in some detail, and it was remarked that, among
these, the invention of the flying buttress was of as much
importance to the development of the Gothic style, as that
of the pointed arch, Observations were also communi-
cated by Mr. MILLAR, of St. John's College, on the
forms and angles of the crystals of boracic acid, indigo,
and borate and bicarbonate of ammonia. After the meet-
ing, Professor SEOGNVICK gave an account of the geolo-
gical structure of the Austrian Alps, illustrated by the
representation of a section traversing their chain, and
passing from the plains of Bavaria to the calf of Venice.
