It is related by the Rev. C. B. Townsend, in his
highly interesting work on Mesmerism, that Dr. Parr
once magnetised William Pitt with his eye ; and the
Dr. used to boast that his eye saved the nation. Pitt
was going to bring forward some measure which was cal-
culated to produce much harm to the country, and the
Doctor having been informed of the evil intentions of
the great Premier, went to the House of Commons.
" I fixed, Sir," said Parr, "my eye upon Pitt. I gave
him one of my looks (everybody knows my looks), and
he could not utter a word, Sir. Ile rose, stammered,
and sat down again ; and there I kept him off his legs
till For had possession of the ear of the House ; and so
the measure, when brought forward, was nugatory. Yes,
yes, I think I may say that my eye saved the nation."

LAW I 1 TELLIGEN CE.

VICE.;CHANCEEZORS' COUR7', Jan. 12.
(Before the VICE-CkANCELLOR of ENGLAND).
MORRIS V. VIVI.4(';iND•WILLIAMS. •

The further arguments in` this ease were resumed at
the opening of the Court this morning. It was stated,
on behalf of the plaintiff, that his mine was in danger
of being completely inundated by the water drained into
it from the grounds of the defendants. This inconve-
nience had been particularly felt in the month of Q.lto-
ber and November last, when several hundred gallons
of water per hour passed into the mine. It was con=
tended that the 'defendants had no right to expose the
property of the plaintiff to the damage and the danger
thus incurred. It was alleged, on the other side, that
the inconvenience complained of had existed for many
years, and that the water had been allowed to pass into
the mine at so•early a period, as the year 1803. It was
also said that the inconvenience was in ordinary seasons
inconsiderable, and'that the unusual quantity of water
which flowed into the mine during the months of Octo-
ber and November last was owing to the wetness of the
weather.

His HoNona, in giving his judgment said, that he did
not think it right at present to grant the injunction,
because there was a good deal of obscurity with respect
even to the legal rightS of the party. As he understood
the case, the ffect of granting the application ,of the
plaintiff, would be to prevent the defendants from sink-
ing a pit at any depth they might please in their own
grounds. Now he could not understand that because
the mine of the plaintiff was effected by an excavation
opened long since, 'no matter by whom, on his grounds,
the defendants should cease to work their mines, or
that they could not originally have opened them. He
could not make out whether it was contended that
there was anything illegal in the' act of the defendants—
namely, their sinking a pit in their own soil ; or whether
the damage complained es-, rose merely from the imper-
fect construction of a dam 'found: their pit. No alarm
had been taken by the plaintiff until the month of Sep-
tember or October last, when it appeared that an unusual
.quantity of water had found its way into the mine. But
no one who lived in England, and remembered the wet-
ness of the weather in those months could feel surprised
at such a fact. It appeared from the affidavits that
water had flowed into the mine from the grounds
of other parties besides those of the defendants ;
and there was no evidence to show how far the incon-
venience complained of might or might not be owing to
that cause. Before the Court could interfere, he should
have it. clearly established that the plaintiff tad a legal
right to that protection which he claimed ; and he must
say that that right had not yet been clearly proved. All
he could do, therefore, was to let the motion:stand over
for the present ;. but he would allow the plaintiff to bring
an action at law, by which he might establish his right,
and show the amount of damage he had sustained.

an inferior Court. On this point of law a long argumer
took place.
The COURT postponed its decision.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jan. 12.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
IN RE GEORGE DELIANSON CLARKE.

Fieldgate-Street, Whitechapel, both in the county of
Middlesex, newspaper vender, bookseller, manufacturer
of animal charcoal, dealer and chapman.
Several disputed proofs were tendered, and the result
was, that the choice was adjourned until the 28th inst.
The fiat was dated the 24th December, and several pri-
vate examinations were held before Sir C. F. Williams,
Messrs. Ward, of Water-street, Bridewell Precinct,

CIVIL ENGINEERS.
The first meeting for the season, 1842, was held on
Tuesday evening, at the Institution, in Great George-
street, and was numerously attended. The President,
Mr. Walker, took the chair at eight o'clock, when the
ordinary, business was proceeded , with. The papers
read were, a deription, accompanied by plans and
drawings, of thYUlster Canal, by Mr. Casebourne ;an
account GI the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway,
by Mr. Jackson, graduate; and of the water.pressure
engines at 1113ang, in Bavaria, by Mr. Baker, graduate,
both of the latter being presentation papers, and also
illustrated by drawings. The first gave rise to no re-
marks. The observations on the second had reference
to the burnt clay used as ballast, and stated to be pre-
pared for Is. 9d. [er cubic yard,• and to the incline of
one in thirty-seven in that line on which American en-
gines are worked. Doubts were expressed as to the
permanent advantage of the use of burnt clay ballast,
and the president urged
on a gentleman present con-
nected with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway,
how desirable it would be to have accurate details of
the efficient working of the American engines on the
incline. The last paper was a most interesting and
clever account of the engines at Illsang, whence it ap-
peared the brine from th salt mines was raised, and
forced to a distance of sixty miles by water pressure
only. The engines were of brass, and the pistons
packed with leather.

Previously and subsequent to the business meeting,
much and welbdeseived attention was direetkd and
given to two beautiful water colour drawings by Alr.
Atkinson, of a palace for his Highness Nuwal Nazim,
at Moorshedabad, de signed and built under the super-
intendence of Major-General M'Leod, engineer. The
ralace is about 245 feet long, and 200 Net wide, the
two fronts have porticos with columns (Grecian Doric),
of thirty-six feet high, the one of six, and the other
of eight ; the former approached by a flight of steps
110 feet wide, carried to the height of eighteen feet.
The projections in this front are bold and well-ar-
ranged, and, with the smaller porticos of four columns,
love a great variety of light and shad•. The entabla-
ture is continued all round the building. The palace,
when viewed from either end, forms a splendid mass of
architecture, and a curious contrast with the Mosque
and Eastern buildings and vegetation in the .drawings.
These are, as yet, we understand, Unfinished ; figures,
elephants, &c., are to bo introduced. When complete,
besides their architectural, they will possess consider.
able pictorial merit, and add credit to the name of
the artist.

of 501. to the general purposes of the Society was an-
nounced from Mr. Alexander, a merchant in the city. A
long list of defaulters to the Society, w.. I,
had ceased to
become members, was next read by the President. A
communication was read from Mr. Schwafe, the Society's
corresponding member at Geneva, giving en interesting
account of the recent topographical labours in Switzer-
land, an extensive map of which is in progress. A let-
ter was read from Mr. Kippert, of Berlin, addressed to
Colonel Leake, giving an account of a new expedition of
discovery which has just left Prussia, to follow up the
discoveries recently made by Mr. Fellowes in Asia Minor.
It consists of two Professors of the College of Posen,
with a naturalist, antiquarian, end complete staff of
scientific men. A communication was next read from Dr.
Becke, Aukober, in southern Abyssinia, 24th August,
1841, which announced the arrival in that city of the ex-
pedition under Captain Harris, from the Government of
Bombay, which was making great progress with the King.
Some interesting accounts were also giVen of the condition
of the slaves in that country. The last paper read was
a critical analysis by Captain Becher, of the Royal Hy-
drographic-office, of the three voyages of Martin Fro-
bisher in the middle of the sixteenth century.
A file-maker, named Chopin, was arrested on
Saturday under a warrant from the Chancellor, and con-
ducted to the prison at the Luxembourg. Besides mal-
let, who, as we have stated, had been brought from
Douellens, and immediately interrogated by
.the Chun-.
'cellor, Just-Brazier and Colombier were also interrogated
by Baron Pasquier on Saturday.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DIY.
POST.-.-The Government broker resumed his ope-
rations in Consols in the course of the day. He again
made sales, expressly for bank notes, to the extent of
200,000/., more or less, the effect of which would hav,e
been somewhat sensibly felt, had it not been for the
counter operations entered into for time ; the bargain•
ing for the new Account (February 24th), being pretty
considerable.
Tne sales, however, cannot be said any longer to at-
tract the same attention of capitalists and others that
they did in the first instance. The present healthy Ap-
pearance of the Continental exchanges renders the pos-
sibiny of the sales referred to being for account of the
Bank of England quite out of the question ; so it is
considered at least in the best-informed monetary cir-
cles. Were they, it is argued, on behalf of that esta-
blishment, the effect would have been a palpable strin-
gency in the money market out of doors, notwithstand-
ing the payment of the dividends now in progress.,
There seems to be no longer the least doubt that the
daily sales making by the Government broker are strictly
on Government account, whether it be in connection
with the Savings' Banks (for this is still deemed likely)
or otherwise, the effect of which on the circulation will
be of no importance, and hence the growing indifference
that is felt upon the subject.
Considerable interest has been excited in this part
of the metropolis, as may be presumed to have been
the case in others, and, in fact, throughout the king-
dom, by the information received during the ,last two
days from Paris, relative to a nest of forgers found to
be carrying on their depredations on the Continent,
and which appeared, in the first instance, exclusively in
the Morning Post. Opinion is generally in favour of
the supposition that the individuals who have been
arrested by the French police are not the principal
actors, but the mere subordinate agents in this new
and extraordinary drama. It is, of course, considered
highly desirable that the delinquents in chief'sheuld be
hunted out, inasmuch as the crime of forgery is, in a
commercial nation, the most formidable, perhaps, that
could be named ; but, on the other hand, it is hoped
that, if this cannot be accomplished, a sufficient know-
ledge of their proceedings has been obtained to put an
effectual stop to the mischief.
TIMES.—The Madrid letters dated on the 3d inst.
are much occupied with the affair of the non-accept-
ance of certain bills taken by the Government, and
transmitted to London far the payment of the British
Legion and other claims in the course of the last month
and which became due on the 3d of March. It is stated
that there were in all nine bills, amounting to. about
20,000/., which were given by a mercantile house in Ma-
drid to the Spanish Government, and which they appro-
priated at once to various claimants as so much, money
certain to be paid when due. It is probable, however, as
time, enough yet remains to make some other ;irrange-
ments, that the bills will still be honoured when sit matu-
rity: The refusal to accept by the house of Gower and Co.,
upon whom they were drawn, is said to have arisen
merely from the party in Madrid having exceilded his
credit with them, without previously announcing his in-
tention to do so ; and further, it is stated, that ;had a
smaller sum been drawn for, this difficulty woutild not
have arisen. Hence noimportance in a financial point of
view is to be attached to the subject, and it does notinany
way affect the credit of the Spanish Government though
it is said that the Finance Minister, Surra y Rue!, has
expressed much annoyance at it. Every precaution
seems to have been taken by the London house 'to pre.
vent this awkward occurrence, as they had an a, gent in
Madrid who expressly gave warning to the merchant
who drew the bills not to exceed his credit upon them,
which he nevertheless disregarded. The sensitiveness
of the Spanish Minister on the subject is not a bad
omen for the British creditors generally, for ver!, little
concern was manifested in former times abou t such
matters. It must be still a long time before 'Spanish
credit is quite restored, but the present Go vet aliment
are at least much more punctilious about the fulfilment
of engagements than any of their predecessors., •
SUN.—In the public securities business has b een again
inclining towards the selling side, and the core ,nence
is, that the public are indisposed to operate, as id the
market exhibited a decline. Money has been it i some
request, and the continuation to the next accour it was
I per cent. Consols, for immediate transfer, were r larked
884 to 88k, and for the Account 884 to 89. Exc. 'leper
Bills were rather lower, viz., 17s. to 19s. premiun r ; but
India Bonds advanced to I Is. premium. Bank Stock
realised 167, and India Stock 2464. Reduced Three-
and-a-Half per Cents. ranged from 981,- to 99i.
Neither in Spanish or South American Boni is was
there much business transacted to-day. Attive. )5, panish
Bonds realised 25, to is; and Portuguese Three iris Cents.
194, with scarcely anything doing; Mexican Ernk Is were
flat at a decline to 28i ; Chilian Stock was not `, higher
than 69 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. we. re t ,t 51.
In the Share Market the quotations were
steady, at about the following rates :—Great esteru
were 22 ; Birmingham, 79k, the New 26k, ar a York
and North Midland .42 premium ; Brighton w Zxe 12R_;
Croydon 2 ; Midland Counties 14 ; North Mk Julza 28,
and South Eastern and Dover 21 discount ; Colonial
Bank Shares were 4 premium, ex dividend.
