EXPART6 1110055 IN HE WESTROPP.—JUDGMENT.

(Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
LAUDER V. INGERSOLL,--JUDGMENT.
His Hormca gave judgment in this case to-day, the arguments
in which were concluded yesterday. The 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.
pointrnent 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. Elwci thy to pay the costs of the present
application, and the costs of appointing the next friend, the Court
reserving the question by whem 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.
Ms 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. ltomiLLY 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.

sHERIFF.-. CO URT.—(TH DA
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Bunco ELI..)
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
fur 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, %hen 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 M.Arlow, the captain, and if plaintiff did
not like to take it lie might go on with his action, for Alarlow was
the person to be looked to. The coals were charged at I le. 6d.
per ton, with Q.s. 10 IA d. per ton for lock dues,4v. 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.
2 I was paid for a Jetta* demanding payment.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—The Imperial
ukase relative to the dress of the Jeyvs 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 cud.
denly and violently interferes with the rnost cherished habits of a
people. In Bordiezew, a considerable commercial town in
Noltiynia, 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, a most
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 cornmard
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 slayed 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 fur that usually worn by the
exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long
ocks being, of course, the first sacrifice.

the Lyceum Theatre during the last few days :—His Royal

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 Kirginan. '[he vessel had just ar-
rived train Holland with a cargo of butter, cheese, and other
goods, and seven beer casks, which were directed to "Brevet's
wharf—to be left till called for," and were about to be landed as
empty casks in the usual manner whet: the revenue officer, Kirg_
man, having a suspicion of something wrong, took off the head of
one of the casks, and it apoeureo 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 3nlbs. of cigars
and cheroots. They are of the best quality, and the duty upon
them alone is 90/.

CORK T R EAT TIE.
MADAME CELESTE AND MR. WEBSTER.

The interest created by the superior acting of the inimitable
Celeste, and that most excellent comedian, Mr. Webster, nightly
increases. By the way in which Webster sustained the arduous
character of the Baron Raventurgh, 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 lung familiar, proved himself to be as
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 Stranger, taken from the
French piece Satan ou Le Diable a Parrs. The character of
the Mysterious Stranger, who, until the denouement, is sup-
posed to be the " Prince of Darkness," was sustained by
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 bad to assume in her efforts to save
the Count de Beausoliel from the danger which surrounded him,
and the successful stratagems which she employed for the purpose
of exposing to him the hollowness of his friends, and the infidelity
of his mistress—particularly the scene with Mademoiselle de Nan-
telle in the house of Beausoliel, where she persuades De Nantelle,
that the reported arrest of Beausoliel's banker was unfounded, and
induces the inconstant fair one to take a new and more wealthy
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 Beau-
solidi, contributed greatly to the success of the piece. The
struggle between his fears of the Mysterious Stranger when en.
tering into the contract, and the anxiety he evinces to possess his
little Madeline, twelve thousand francs a year, the cow and the
pig, were moat 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 on
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 I he early part of the peice, the easy and dignified man-
ner in which she glided through the Minuet de la Cour with Webster,
and the intense 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 Burnby,
a fop of the time of Louis Le Grand:was as unbending in his car-
riage and self-conceited as any exquisite of that period could well
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.
Thy other members of the company sustained their parts respectably,
and the Mysterious Stranger was again announced for representa-
tion this evening amid much applause.—Cork Southern Reporter.

ROYAL GENERAL. PENSION Socirry.—Yesterday
afternoon a meeting of the subscribers to the above Association

RAILWAY SPECULATION.—It may be mentioned
as illustrative of the great amount of business done in railway
shares in Wakefield, that there are no less than nine sharebrokers
in that town, exclusive of others who occasionally came from Leeds.
There ate two expresses daily to and from Leeds, one of them
employed solely by one broker, the other by an association. These
expresses go to Leeds twice a day and return immediately after the
conclusion of the business at the Stock Exchange in that town,
with a statement of the prices, &c., performing the distance

THE COMET.—At Medina del Campos, on the 12th
of June, at 9 hours 45 minutes P M , observed a comet at about
10 &grecs above the horizon, and five degrees north of magnetic
north ; nucleus of considerable magnitude, perhaps three times
the apparent it: se of Jupiter, tail broad, and two or three degrees
in length, Its brightness was sufficient to catch the eye with readi-
ness. The night was clear, the moon shining brightly. Being
only provided with a small field. glass, and having no theodolite or
similar instrument with us, we could not take any accurate obser-
vation of its position, &c.

CRICKET.—THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND V. TIIS
GENTLEMEN OP KENT.—This match was commenced yesterday at

world, either as patrons of or participators in the game. When
the wickets were struck for the day England had lost six men
for 93, thus having 23 runs to get to tie with four wickets to go
down. The score stood as follows :—Kent, 116 ; England, 93.
The match was resumed this morning at eleven o'clock.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR DOVER.—On Monday
night as an engine and tender were proceeding up the line toward"
Westenhanger, at between twelve and one o'clock, they came is
contact with the down mail train, which was about to enter the
station, and was crossing from the down to the up line, in conse-
quence of the alterations on the down line not being completed.
Both engines were much injured, and some of the metals torn tiP.
Fortunately the passengers escaped with a few bruises, scratchees
and disfigured garments. Assistance was immediately on the spa,
and the mail train engine, not being so much injured as the others
took the train on to Dover. In order to prevent the recurrence
of such a disaster, the down trains will, in future, discharge their
freight at the proper platform instead of crossing the line. —Doer
Telegraph.

IN EW RAILWAY SCHEMES.—The week's enumera-
tion of new schemes embraces no fewer than 14. Amongst the°

EASTERN COUNTIES' RAILWAY OPENING TO NOR.
wren.—The opening of the Eastern Counties' and Norwich and
Branson lines, which was fixed for the sth, is put off until the 9th•
ACCIDFINT ix HYDE PARK.—A man named Charles
Giles, residing at Endell-street, Long.acre, met with a severe
accident yesterday in Hyde Park, by falling off a temporary scaffold
that he had erected for persons to stand on to see the review. He
fell on the leg of an inverted chair, which penetrated his bodP,
and inflicted such serious injury that little hope is entertained
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 reach,' the top of the quay, and after remaining se
f.r a short time, began to fail, and continued descending until it
reached the very foundation of the wall. The larger vessels being
firmly moored escaped injury, Lut a number of boats were forced
away, and some of them stove in. A violent storm arose imme-
diately after, and a heavy fall of rain, accompanied with loud claps
of thunder, took place about five in the morning. It is supposed
that the entrance of the sun on the summer solstice, conjointly
with the full moon, may have caused this phenomenon.—Galignanj•
A l'ATtli It COMMITTED FOR THE MANSLAUGHTES
oe ins Sox.—Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, resumed an ad-
journed inquest at the Royal Free Hospital,on the body of George
Chalk, aged 13. The deceased, his father, and grandfather, were
engaged in the brickfields of Mr. Bassett, Camden.town, and on
the 6th instant decca ed's father was displeased with him for not
having done some work which he desired him to perform. The
lather, enraged at being disobeyed by his son, knocked him down,
ki••ked him in the side, and then jumped on him. Mr. Mullons,
who was in the first instance called upon to attend him, and bfr
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 from
a violent inflammation in the lower part of his abdomen, caused 10
external violence, which terminated fatally on the 22d instant.
Upon a post mortem exatnination 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, Wee
concluded at the Red House, Battersea, before Mr. Carter, relative
to the recent steamboat 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..
Meting 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 [louse, when in making for the new 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 shores
apparently fur the purpose of clearing the pier before the steamer
came 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 engine,
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 beat apps'
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 PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver-
sary festival of this Society was held last night at the London
Tavern. Mr. B. B. Cabbell presided over a respectable, although
not numerous assembly, including the Rev. Dr. Spranger, Mr, F.
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
only 261. per annum, but he was happy to say that, during this
(the third) year, the subscriptions had amounted to 1201., and he
hoped would progress in a similar ratio in future years. A list of
subscriptions was read, including Messrs. Cabbell, (chairman),
10/. 10s., Masterman, M.P., Si. 55., Olive, 51. 55., Richardson,
61. Os., Mr. T. Baring, M.P., Si., and others, making a grand total
of 1141. The dinner was prepared in the usual excellent style of
Messrs. Bathe and Breach, and was done ample justice to by the
whole company. After enjoying some excellent singing from the
proiessionals present, the meeting separated.
