Mr.
Thomas Hope, who sought to recoVer, the value of li'
vessel called the Two Brother% of a bill of exChange
for CM) had of several quantities of barley, oxti,
and beans, which they contended had &len delivete I
to the defendant for the par Pose or 044 a fraud&
lent preference over other Cretlitoeio ..
It was proved that the ieeeral quatititiel of grain
were purchased by Mr. Thomas Hope, and Amnia
immediately delivered over to the defet. Want,. who set
them off against the sums be was compelled to pro-
vide fbr the acceptances then unpaid. Oa the bill of
exchange, however, -he actually advanced CTO, and
placed the residue to th 4 account between them. Ile
bought the Vessel nominally for £l2OO, of which he
advanced t 100; and it appeared that the vessel, even
as between owners, was not worth more than f.. 4,50;
but the terms of the Registry Act had not been ob-
served so as to legalize the transfer. Whin asked in
the Corn-market respecting his brother's failure, he
lifted up his hands, and said—,, It came upon him
.4 like a thunderbolt; he ad had no transactions with
him for years, as he wa lwit)l a morose man i 4
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE Charged the Jury that,
in this case, if the defendant had fraudently received
ithe property, he would be liable to the assigue::t, al-
though the venders of the grain might, like Mr.
Payn in the last action, have disaffirmed the cOntracts,
and sought themselves to recover. lie diitingiiished
the transfers of the ship and the bill from tho•C Of
the grain, and said that the. sale of the former would
have been valid, but for the omission to comply with
the Act respecting registries in reasonable time. As
to the rest of the case) he left the question of fraud
to the Jury.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, with
C 833 damagesiwhich included the value of the vessel.

Mr. Coerameav, a farmer, undertook, on Tuesday, to start
to Coventry fkom Mile-End Sew TOwn, near Bow, and return
in three days. The distance is 188 mites from the place of start-
ing, and time was backed at two to one. He started at two
o'clock in the morning, and was it Dunstable at twelve o'clock,
Stoney Stratford at four, passed throligh Towcester at duskvand
took two Sours rest, after accomplishing V) miles, at twelve
o'clock ; he touched on Coventry at live b'clock on Wednesday
morning, and did 30 miles on his return, at two o'clock; he
then halted four hours, and was lame Upon starting again, which
increased, and be reached Dimstable at three o'clock on Thurs-
day, and rested until six. Ile had eight hours left to do 36
miles, and be rtssgncd the task.

Yesterday morning, while the servants were ,en-
gaged at their work, a thief entered the house of
Lord 13zawicK, in Grosvenor-square, and succeeded
in carrying away nine handsomely chased silver.
wine ladles. Information was immediately given at
Marlborough-street Police Office, with a desbriptioa
of the property, in order that the officers may make
proper inquiry.
Extract of a Letter from a Farmer in Suffolk
" About ten days since, a farmer at &nape, Who re-
sided within twelve miles of me, had a barn, bullock-
shed, pig-sties, stack of wheat, stover stack, corn in
barn, buildings almost new, and all his straw, burned
to a cinder. Scarcely a night passes, but we see at a
distance, or near, a blaze in the air, occasioned by
some incendiary. I am obliged to Watch my pre-
mises every night. This affair is going on very much
on the borders of Norfblk, attended with threshing-
mach hie. breaking."
Monday night a haulm stack was set fire to upon
the premises of Mr. GEORGE MAYREIV, of Middle..
wood-Green, Stonhain t it did not however burn ra-
pidly, owing, it is supposed, to the moisture left upon
it by the late rains, and by the prompt assistance of
the neighbours it was soon got under. The fore-
goinq is the only fire we have heard of in this neigh-
bourhood during the past week, but the terror created
by the recent fires we fear will not be speedily alle-
viated. Thursday last the most intense interest was
excited by reports of a fire in the neighbourhood of
Sproughton : the blaze which caused the alarm, was,
however, occasioned by the setting fire to a quantity
of weeds and rubbish about six o'clock in the even-
ing, upon a farm at Bur,t4ll.—fpnvith Journal.
Monday, :is the Chester mail-coach was passing
along Bird-street, Litchfield, one of the leading horses
was attacked by a bull-dog, and literally pinned to
the ground by.the savage brute. The horse plunged
considerably, and it was with difficulty that the dog
could be forced to leave his hold. The poor horse
being at length extricated from his painful situation,
the coach proceeded, but had not got many yards
before the dog, having obtained his liberty, again
pursued the object of his ferocity, but was very for-
tunately stopped in his career by some persons in the
street. Had.the attack been made, on one of 'the
wheel-horses, in all probability the coach would have
been upset: no donne however occifired, excepting
to the horse, which was slightly. .injured about the
mouth. This is not a singular instance of the kind,
and in a similar. occurrence, -in order to defackthe
dOg from the animal he has fastened on, it has been re-
commended to throw a quantity of snuff in hirface,
shish will cause him to sneeze, and he will thed in -
oluntarily leave his hold.—l ikkfleld Mercury. .
