TEA MARKET.

The quantity of Tea to be offered for public sale next week
has been increased to 31,000 packages. The market, there-
fore, remains dull. No reduction has been accepted.
TALLOW MARKET.

A few small sales were made in P. Y. C. of firm quality at
48s. on the spot, but generally the market was dull, with a
prospect of lower rates.

WOOL MARKET.

Some large parcels of Colonial Wool are announced for
public sale, consequently the market is quiet, but nevertheless
has a healthy appearance, and it is presumed that the choice
and good qualities will rtalise better prices.

ESSEX, near COLCHESTER.—ELIGIBLE LANDED
IN VESTMENT.

3/1-li. W. W. SIMPSON has received instruc-
tions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in the
month of June, a valuable ESTATE, eligibly situated in the
parishes of Copford Birch and Layer Marney, within six miles
of Colchester and 10 of Maldon, two of the best corn markets
in the county. It comprises an excellent farm-house, two
double cottages, and numerous agricultural buildings, all in ex-
cellent repair, together with 214 ACRES of productive land,
in a very high state of cultivation, of which eight acres are rich
pasture, and the remainder fertile arable land, a large proportion
of which is adapted to the growth of turnips and otter green
crops. The estate is freehold (excepting about 32 acres),
and is let on lease for an unexpired term of five years from
Michaelmas next, at the very low rent of 2651. per annum.
The Property may be viewed by permission, and particu-
lars may be shortly obtained of W. S. Cooper, Esq., Solicitor,
Colchester; of Messrs. 13ignold, Pulley, and Mawe, Solicitors,
Bridge-street, Blaekfriars ; at the Mart ; and of Mr. W. W.
Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury.

but was unsuccessful in that a 150... :He had, therefore, no alter-
' native but to proceed in the manner he had done; the sole
point in contest at the bar was whether he ought not to have
gore in under the Insolvent. Debtors Act instead of instituting
the present trial. It was clear to his Lordship that under the 3tl and
4th Victoria, he could not have proceeded under the Insolvent
Debtors Act, because the assignment to Mr. Hollis was not
valid with respect to that, but it was valid with respect to in-
quiry; and when the certificate under the bankruptcy was ob-
tained, it would become effectual, If Mr. Bryant did not take
steps to supersede the commission, the vesting order was
suspended. On the 'whole, his Lordship was of opinion that
Mr. Hollis could not have done otherwise than he did, that
therefore the proceedings were right, and the order of the
Vice-Chancellor of England, appointing a receiver, must be
affirmed with costs.

BROWNE V. KEATING.
Mr. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of the plaintiff in this
carve to have an account taken against the defendants, who
were the trustees of a settlement executed on the marriage of
the plaintiff, Mrs. Browne, with her husband in November,
1810, to whom a considerable amount of property had
been devised oa trust for the benefit of Mrs. Browne,
during the joint lives of herself and husband, and afterwards for
the benefit of the children of the marriage. It was also sought
to have new trustees appointed in the place of the existing ones,
and to have the costs of the suit paid by the defendants. Mr.
Pemberton entered at considerable length into details which
were void of interest.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

On Friday last, the first of a course of lectures on Chemistry,
in connection with the growth of plants, was delivered by Mr
Edward Solly, jun., F. L. S., &c,, at the Society's Rooms, in
Regent-street, and was attended by many of the leading horti -
culturists, and others devoted to agricultural and scientific
pursuits, amongst whom we noticed Sir J. Sebright. Sir
Charles Lemon, Sir 0. Mosely, Sir James South, Mr. lilabbne,
Dr. Rostock, Sir E. Ryan, Mr. Pepys, and several others. We
copy the following from the Gardener': Chronicle of Saturday
last, on this subject:..--
Yesterday Mr. Solly delivered his first lecture to the Fel-
lows of the Horticultural Society and their friends, upon the
connexion between chemistry and the arts of cultivation. We
cannot speak too highly of the manner in which the very diffi-
cult task of compressing much matter into a small space, and
of selecting those topics only which have a direct con-
nexion with the subject, was executed; nor, indeed, of
the whole management of the discourse. From the attention
with which the lecture was received, it.was evident that those
who were present entertained the same opinion as ourselves.
We confess it gives us great satisfaction to find that the Horti
cultural Society should be the first of the great bodies of Lon-
don to take a decided step towards connecting chemical science
with the practical operations of the gardener, by means of
public lectures, at the present day.

COURT OF cHANCERY, May 2.

The Lord Chancellor did not take his seat in Lincoln's Inn-
hall to•day till nearly half-past 11 o'clock.

JUDGMENT.-lIOLLIS V. BRYANT.

Tile LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case,
which was argued before the Court a short time since. The
case came before the Court upon appeal frJrn the decision of
his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, appointing a
receiver. The facts of the case, as stated by his Lordship in
giving judgment, are as follow. —As far back as the year 1828 a
Commission of Bankruptcy issued against Mr. Bryant, the de-
fendant. He contested the commission, and at last a compro-
mise was entered into between him and his creditors. Mr.
Bryant paid a certain sum of money, which the creditors ac-
cepted, and the further proceedings under the commission were
stayed by the death of the original assignee. A short
time since the proceedirgs under the commission were
transferred to the Court of Bankruptcy, and one of
the defendants to the present record was appointed
official assignee. Tho plaintiff, Mr. Hollis, was a creditor
of Mr. Bryant's, not under the bankruptcy, but upon transac-
tions that had taken place many years ofterwards. Not being
able to obtain payment, he brought an action, recovered and
obtained judgment. Mr. Bryant had for many years resided
within the rules of the Queen's Bench prison, and in conse-
quence of that a detainer was lodged against him. Upon the
i_ranting of that detainer, the plaintiff, Mr. Hollis, applied to
the Insolvent Debtor's Court, to be appointed assignee. That
appointment was resisted by Mr. Bryant, but the order was
made, anti Mr. Hollis was appointed assignee. Some cunt roversy
had arisen at the bar during the arguments of the case as to
wltctjter a vesting order had been obtained or not. It was clear
to his Lordship that such an order had been made ; it was then
submitted that such a vesting order was not valid. Now, the
fact was that a vesting order had existed for some time, founded
upon a debt due to a Mr. Burt, but ;Ir. Bryant con.ended that
that debt was satisfied, and that the satisfaction of the debt
put an end to the vesting order. The truth was that the
order was never discharged, and therefore when Mr. Hollis was
appointed assignee all the right and interest of Mr. Bryant
had vested in :tlr. Hollis. Mr. Hollis endeavoured to compel
Mr. Bryant to file his schedule, but he was not successful in
that application, in consequence of the Act of Parliament being
detective in that respect, no means being given by it by which
the Commissioners could compel a party to file his schedule.
Mr. Hollis attempted to recover his debt underthe bankruptcy

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c.
&c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material
so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated t hat it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The g enuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be htd at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can 1 ie engraved and made in all the various articles

CO URTOFy UEEIV'S BENCH, May 2.

MORGAN, BART., V. POWELL.
This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, Sir
Charles Morgan, against the defendant, to recover damages for
certain coals improperly taken by the defendant from a vein be-
longing to the plaintiff. It appeared that the properties of the
plaintiff' and defendant joined, and that the defendant, in
carrying on certain mining operations, had taken a quantity of
coals from a vein situated under the property of
the plaintiff. The case had been tried at Mon-
mouth, and the Jury had given as damages a sum
equal to the value of the coals at the pit's mouth. A
rule had beer, obtained to show cause why a new trial should
not be had, on the ground of excessive damages, inasmuch as
the damages given ought to have been the value of the coals
at the time of their severance from the freehold, and not at
the pit's mouth.
Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW and Mr. RICHARDS showed cause
against the rule, and contended that as the plaintiff could not
have obtained possession of the coals until they had been brought
up to the pit's mouth, he was entitled to recover their value up
to that moment.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Talfuurd, and Mr.
Keating, argued in support of the rule, and contended that at
the monieut the coal was severed from the freehold, it became
a chattel, aud that consequently the plaintiff was only entitled
to recover its value at the moment it became a chattel, under
the present form of action.
Tne Co URT took time to consider its judgment.

decided that the actnni could be maintained, and judgment was
berefore delivered for the plaintiff. • • •

UNION HALL.

Thomas Ball, formerly driver of a Brixton stage-coach, at-
tended to put in bail for threatening the life of his wife, a lads'
of fortune, to whom he was married seven months ago.
The case came before the Court on Saturday, when the com-
plainant stated that since her marriage with the defendant she
had given him upwards of 8001. As his conduct was so bad
she was compelled to leave him, and on Thursday last he came
to her house, and because she refused to give him 50/. he took
up the poker and threatened to murder her. the added that
she went in danger of her life.
The defendant denied that he had used the threats, and
with respect to the tioo/. she had given him, he had purchased
horses and a carriage with the money.
he lady was said to have 1,5001. a year, and when the Ma-
gistrat, expressed his surprise that she should have married a
man so much her inferior in every respect, she burst into tears,
and was led out to her carriage, which was waiting at the door,
absorbed in tears.

The defendant having entered intu the required sureties was
Li scharged.

The Gazette of Upper Germany states, from Berlin
April 24, that a Council of State had just been held, at which
the King presided, for the purpose of discussing the intended
law on the censorship, which it was reported would embrace no
other restrictions than those which are absolutely necessary.
The Journal de la Somme informs us of a fire in
the commune of Herissat, in that department, which consumed
fifty-on houses and four barns. The total loss is estimated at
250,000 f.

A letter from Falaise (Normandy) states that a
violent storm broke over the town on the 24th, and lasted
three quarters of an hour. The electric fluid entered the
liviiuse of a lady named Heliier, breaking all the glass of the
window. It then appeared to have gone round the room, re-
ducing to powder the pictures on the walls. After setting
fire to the curtains of a bed, it escaped through the chimney,
from which it threw down several bricks into a neighbouring
garden. Madame Ilellier was reading at the window when
the electric fluid entered, and the book she held was partly
burnt in her hand, without any accident occurring to herself
or to two other ladiessitting near her.
