- - -
The LORD CHIANCRLLOR this day ordered that two'
petitions, which stood in the• Roll for yesterday, and
had been passed oVer, should be returned to the
Paper, upon the costs of the day being paid by the
Solicitors, on account of whose absence the same had.
been scored out. His Lordship observed that 20
out of every 25 were in this state, an.l it was his de.
termination to treat them all in the same manner.—
The Solicitors in general were to blame, and the
Court was reproached for delays which it did not

deserve.
COURT or: KING'S BENCH, NOV. It.
Their Lordiships were this dty employed in
hearing special arguments upon cases reserved ; three
were upon the construction of wills, and one upon a
case sent by the Lniw CrlANceu-ort for argument,
whether certain bankrupts held s-veral shares of
ships as joint tenants, or as tenants in common ? In
consequence of the late indisposition of Mr. SCA KLETT,
time was given to that Gentleman to reply to the very
able argument of Mr. RIOIAItDS•IN.
SITTINGS AT NISI PRIIIS. GUILDHALL) BEFORE
Slit v. (AIMS.
LINWCOD v. DitP4'ol.l%.
This was an action to recover the value of a quan-
tity of sugar, destroyed on hoard the Calvary, in her
passage from Dominica to London. The Plaintiff
insisted that the article had been destroyed by impro-
per stowage of the cargo, and conseqnently that the
Defendants were answerable for the negligence of their
servants. The Defendant denied that any improper
stowage had been made, and ascrib,d the loss to
bad weather. A Survey* r, who examined the cargo
when the ship arrived at the West.lnclia Dock, stated
as a matter of judgment, that the cargo had been
stowed too close. An endeavour had been used to
stow three tiers, when the ship only carried two with
safety. The-witnesses proved for the defendant, that
the cargo had been properly stowed, and that all was
tight, until the ship made water in a heavy gale.—
The water pouring in washed the sugar out of the
casks, and occasioned the injury.—The Jury found a
verdict for the Defendant.
IN soLve N Martins' ent, It T.—The attendance of the dis-
charged Insolvent Debtors' A-sgnees was yesterday required by
Mr. Serjeant RNNNINGTON, in open Court, for the purpose of
their giving in a proper return of the as=sets with which they
were charged at, or subseqaent to, the Insolvents' imprisonment.
A lull attendance of Assignees took place, but none of them
had their accounts made up. Several of them appeared to have
thought nothing of the responsibility they had thereby incurred.
The Court, in consideration of their neglect not being wi•ftd,
consented to refrain from visiting the Assignees with legal pen4l
ties until the first day of Mat February. If satisfactory
statements were not at that time forthcoming, the Court ex-
pressed its firm intend. to proceed to extremities with theparties.
Every individual discharged by the Act for the relief of the In-
solvent Debtors has an assignee appointed to superintend, for the
benefit of his creditors, the insolvent's property. This assignee is
bound to collect and pay into Court the debts .due to the estate,
and to watch over the future property of the person so discharged
They have, however, neglected this duty, and the late Comenis-
stoner, Mr. Serjeant PALM L' a, omitted to enforce it. The present
Commissioner is determined that the assigneeship shall be an et.
fective appointment,

Bow•STRFZT.--•DRVRY-LANE Tunsran.---Sonn
after the conclusion of the Opera of the Siege of Bel-
grade, at Drury-lake Theatre, oa Thursday night, the
audience were thrown into the greatest consternation
and alarm, particularly the female part, for the safety
of a man whose conduct outraged all decorum, who
got from the upper circle of boxes, passed some
iron rails and spikes, which, till then, were considered
impassable, passed from them to the top of the cor-
nice over one of the private boxes over the stage,
where there was not considered foot hold.or sufficient

strength to support the weight of a man ; he then be.
came the object of attention of the whole audience ;
he sat down by the side. Great numbers vociferated
" Turn him out 1" &c. every one in the Theat:e ex.
petting every moment to see him precipitated to the
bottom, and from, that tremendous height he must
have been dashed to atoms. He changed his position
from sitting by the s'cle, and sat with his legs banging
over the front, kicking his heels and singing 66 Turn
him out !" The Managers mustered the police offi-
cers, aed directed them to remove him, but at the
same time to use all due prudence to prevent him
from falling. On the officers getting to the spot,
they very civilly requested him to remove, but he re-
fused. He was then standing up • one of the officers
reashel round the spikes and seized the fellow by the
collar, and with some difficulty got him away, the
officer being in very imminent danger of being pulled
over. When be was got into the boxes he resisted
most violently, and was actually obliged to be carried
out by the officers and the door-keepers. He was
conveyed to St. Clement's watch.hous?, where he re-
mained during the night, and yesterday he was
brought to this Office by John Baker and William
Clements, the constables who apprehended him ;
when he said his name was Edward Umgreville ;
that he was a Nasal Orricer, and had been drinking
freely, which MIS the cause of his violent and impro-
per conduct.--Mr. NARKS, the Sitting Magistrate, or-
dered him to find bail for assaulting the officers in the
execution of their duty.
COUNTERFEIT TOKENS.—Dickons, belonging to this
Office, and Johnson, a City officer, having learnt that
John Smith, a well known character, had arrived in
London am Wednesday, from Birmingham, they
strongly suspected he had brought counterfeit money
with him, and in consequence they went early yester-
day morning to his house, in Baldwin's Gardens.—
They told Smith and his wife what their suspicions
were, and these were confirmed by finding Anne
Dickons, Thomas Sp: talian, and Philip Riley, well.
known as, what is called, smashers, in Smith's house,
for the purpose of making purchases of counterfeit
money to utter in the course of the day. The officers
were not satisfied with Smith's denial, but secured all
the parties in one room, Johnson securing the door,
and Dickons found in a drawer no less than nineteen
dozen of well executed cre..ntelleit Bank of England
tokens for three shialings ; bank notes to the amount
of 463 were also found. The parties were all brought
to this Office and underwent an examination, and
were comniittect for a further investigation.
A few days ago Messrs. Atkinson and Jones, emi-
nent wine-merchants, in Mark-.:>e, received an
anonymous letter, informing them that :t cart, with
their names on it, very frequently stopped in the
neighbouttood of Plicenix.street and Cow pton-street.
Thus induced Messrs. Atkinson and Jones to employ
some persons to watch the motions of William Shar.
ret, their porter, when he went out with the cart,

A CHALLENGE.
MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons. late in
his Majesty's Service, challenge the whole World to
prove a single instance where their medicine and method of cure
have failed of the desired effect. The practice of many years in
this particular branch of their pro'ession, has not given tip to
one unsuccessful case.

They coots:toe to direct their studies to the treatment and
cure of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the sys-
tem which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful
effects of a habit loos and must unhappily pursued by the youth
ut both sexes. ha the one it will be Mond to be the unfailing
source of barrenness; the other have its ravages fatally developed
to them by a distressing state of debility, which, if not timely re-
medical, terminates to impotence. These are its remote and
ultimate effects, whit:- constme.tion, loss of muscular power, and
various nervous somplaints, usually characterise the earliest stages
of dile solitary vice. Of persons languishing under the disorders
incident to such a LIM, their treatment is simple, and has never
proved unsuccessful in the course-taf a long, laborious, and mach-
extended practice.
In the most obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infec-
tion, such as obstructions in the urethra, spungy excrescences,
rd rumours, callous til c era, eruptions, seminal weakness, givers,
as also Strictures, whether recent or of long duration, anti
which have bathed the skill of other Practitioners, ate by
their present improved plan of treatment effectually and perma
neatly cured, without the patient smattering the excruciating pa t:
said alarming Hemorrhage which frequently follows the applica-
tion of the lunar caustic. In the course of their extensive practice
in this metropolis, numerous cases of SIAICTURES have hour
and are daily under their care, the total eradication of which tat el.
tented by a sate, certain, and expedh sous mode of cure suite: tot
to any ether yet 'dole ed. The weakness, relaxation, and debi-
lity, proceeding from this complaint are speedily removed, and
the Patient restored ts sound and viorous health. But where
the debility ha. for yrats existed, a proper perseverance in their
restorative remedies is indispensably requisite, to revivethe slum•
berin:,t sparks of life, and to reanimate the constitution.
Patients in the Cr umry art• requested to state the particular
of their case, age, and genitral habit of living, &c. enclosing a re-
mittance for advice anti Medi:ants, whet. the same will be giver
or sent to stay p art of the irtegthen.
To enstre that secrecy which Is so essential to their order-
' tithing, the postage of le errs may be added to the aczuunt for
medicines.—pith June, 151,9-107, liattouvrafen.
