• -THE FOB-HUNTERS' 70 THE LADIES
OF NOR?* H AMPTOIy.SIHRE.

. ,
This splendid specimen of the taste ancient times
• was giien at the Royal George Assern§ly Rooms, in
the town' of Northampton, on-Friday evening. 9re front
;of the hail was beautifully Illuminated. The band of the
• County Militilt;inmcasturne, was st.itioned on a tens-
.poraiy alcove at the bottoM of the great'stairs. The ball-
.'room, ninety feet long,'had *every extraordinary eifect,
• from the dispoltiOn of colours, the walls,being covered
with garlands of yellow and scarlet,. intermixed with.
At the bottom of the room was a balcony, or,
more pro..er I y speaking a Chinese Orchestra, wherein a
choice band of musicians. flops London, (a selection
from the three celebrated ones) was 'stationed. At thel
top of the room was a semi-circular table, coliered with
oriental and Italian fruits, confectionary, ices, punch
ato *Romaine. ire. kc. The sorbet, slid Tartae, was.th
constant requisition till the dancing.began.
At nine the visitants began to arrive; the Gentlemen
wearing, scarlet coats and white trowsers to. mark the
insignia of the Fist Club. The Ladies were dressed in
,white and gold, white and silver; many dresses entirely
festooned vi ith pearls, with plumes, of diamonds.
Tbc qputtjlies at the tommeneement were all isla-Nivesist.
The French, the Spanish, and the Hungarian, followed. At one the
:follower's signal was given by Mr. Paul Benfieldcfor throwing
open the banquettinglaft ; and then the Muter of the Ceremonies,
Mr Robert Gunning, pliantly offered his arm to the first Lady
wear blot, and they led the way. to the supper-room. the company
itromenaded two and two,wbile the band played a Highland march.
• THE SUPPltn.—The walls of the room were finely
painted with allegorical devices, at the top • was a
bouquet, and through the leaves were seen the arms of
the town ; in the centre was a beautiful Cupid, and on
the pede,tal was this inscription, in letters of light—
" (alai cm to *Ws voila son 'maitre."—Vourairot.
The table, containing a service of 300 covers, was
elegantly surrounded by. Ladies splendidly Tressed, the
Gentlemen_ standing behind their chairs. Previous to
the supper, Mr. Jailors), (the sole contriver of all this
part of the eotertaininent) presented each Lady with a
'spell gold box sealed, to be,opened 'after the banquet.
The supper consisted of kindi of made.dishes, many of which
Were before wholly unknown lb country. •
When the Ladies had supped, they withdrew to. the
ball-room, to exaMine their prizes; and then the Gen-
tlemen took their places and did honour to the sparkling
ichampaigne. However, they did not sit long,, for in
le.s than half an hour after 2 the clawing recommenced
with increased spirit, and wasicept up till seven o'clock,
and then the company all retired together, the morning
tun just appearing over the neighbouring
The present to the Ladies contained a pew sort of drops, of a
peculiarly agreeable taste ; and they are now called '1 nit .Werth-
leaspen Drys."
Among the numerous company present vine—

Northampton was never known to be solo'', for three
receding days a guinea *knight was aired for a bed.

We have rekcieed Hainburgh Papers te the sth; and
Dutch to the 10th inst. They contain nothing but ac-
counts of the extraordinary tides and storms which
took' lace last week along the northern coast of the.
Continent. Hamburgh was in part inundated, and would
probably have suffered More, bad not some of the dikes
in the neighbourhood given way, by which the city *as
saved, but the inhabitants a the country must have
been deeply injured. At Amsterdam; and in the vi-
cinity, the rise of the sett was also unusual and terrific ;
and bad not the people done tiverything in their poker
to strengthen the dike*, the great naval establishments
of the Helder a ould probably have been dest'oyed.
When it ierecollected that the whole of the Zuyderzee
Was once a bourishing country, and that hunereds of
villages and towns, and several hundred thousand in.
habitants, were swept away at once by the usurping'
waters, an idea may be formed of "the alarm with which
these invasions of toe sea fill that portion of the people
"rho live within the reach of so tremendous an enemy.
The strong interest excited in the cause of the Spanish
Refugees, and the liberal subscriptions going on in
their behalf, is most con olatory to the friends of free-
dom and humanity. It gives us great pleasure to add,.
that the most respectable inhabitants in the several
Cities of the U..rted States, have manirested their re-
solution to do all in their power to assist the adores
%liege out time.

And all my kind acquaintance burn
To smother me with riches!

In civic lanes or alleys,
Niche; are hawk's!, while rivals rush
To pour into mine ear a gush
Of mcney-making sallies !
Haste instantly and buy, cries one,
Real Del Monte Shares, far none
Will yield a richer profit ;
Another cries—No Mining plan
Like our's—the Anglo- Mexican ;
As for Del Monte, scoff it'.

There's nothing like Colombian Shares,

With images of gladness;
Nor place my heart in Mammon's fangs,
To.wrack it with the pains and pangs
Of Avarice's madness!
Oh ! when, my peaceful cottage, when,
Shall I exchange this strife of men,
Tis clamorous confusion,
For song of birds, the bum of bees,
The music of the brooks and trees,
And all the soothing harmonies
Of Nature and seclusion !

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 12.
PEARSON V. la.nownaa.
This was an action oa the statute 12 Anne, c. 16, to
recover penalties for usury. The venue was laid in
Middlesex, where the usurious contract was made; but
the usurious interest was received in London, and the
question was, whether the action should not have been
brought in the county where the offence was consum-
mated, by receivingthe unlawful- interest ? The Court
took time to consider the point when it was argued on
a former day, and now .
The CHIEF JUSTICE deliveied the opinion of the
Court to he, that the action ought to have been brought
in London, because the offence was not complete until
the interest,was received. The rule of Nisi for entering
a aonsuit was therefore made absolute.

ROLLS COURT, FEBRUARY io.
MARIE V. CAMAC.
This case, which has been for some time in Chancery,
and which has attracted more than ordinary interest
from the station of the parties in society, came on before
the Master of the Rolls for judgment this evening. It
appeared, in the progress of the cause, that the plaintiff,
Mr. Marie, and the defendant, Colonel Camac (late of,
the Guards,) married two sisters, daughters to the late'
Mr. Winifere, • and sisters to Mr. George Winifere, of
Bottenham-park, in Suffolk, also deceased. Mr. Marie
married several years before his death, and continued to
te,itie with his wife, at her brother's house, up to that
'period. Mr. George Winifere died in Octobbr, 1814,
and bequeathed, by a will, dated February, 1809, his
large estates, conjointly, to both his sisters, with the pro-
viso, that either dying unmarried, or without children,
the whole property should go to the survivor. This
will was attested by three witnesses, but there was no
attestation in the ordinary form to it, and a case was
submitted to Sir S. Shepherd, then Solicitor-Geoeral,
to ascertain its validity; and in consequence of that
opinion, the will was proved in the Ecclesiastical Court,
and administration granted Mrs. Marie and the present
Mrs. Carnac, then Miss Henrietta Winifere. A deed
was entered into the following year between the sisters,
by' which*they agreed to convey the whole of the estates
to trustees, after paying the incumbrances, to secure to
Mrs. Marie a moiety of the residue. This deed was
executed in November, 1815, and the object of the pre.
sent suit was to compel a performance of its covenants
ein the part of Mrs. Canrac. The objections raised by
that Lady, and her husband on her behalf, to the per-
formance, were—that Mr. Marie acquired an undue in-
fluence over her brother, in inducing him to make the
v.oll above alluded to; secondly, that a suspicion' WAS
entertained that the will was forged, and that even if
it were nct, there was reason to suppose that some other
will of a later date, altering the effect of these disposi-
tions, had been made, and suppressed by Mr. and Mrs.
Marie; and lastly, that Miss Henrietta Winifere exe-
cuted that deed without due consideration, and without
theassistance of proper and sufficient legal advice.—
ietta Winifere married Colonel Camac iu
their marriage settlement was founded on the
agreement between her and Mr. and Mrs.
Soon after Colonel Camac's marriage, he re.
