GLASGOW, FEBRUARY 3.

+~+« ~.

•

We are now in the midst of one of the severest
storms whith has been experienced for many years,
and there is every reason to believe that it is general.
Ever Since yesterday forenoon it has snowed without
intermission.
The mail coach from London, due at half-past ten
o'clock last night, was stopped at Douglas Mill (30
milei from Glasgow), and the guard came on with
the Mails. By great exertions he reached the Post
QQice at nine this morning.
. The Edinburgh mail coach, which usually comes
in before four in the morning, did not arrive to-day
until nearly pine o'clock. It isas drawn by six horses,
and•experienced great difficulty in getting through.
Few =coaches hate attempted proceeding to-day.

• WAKEFIELD, FEBRUARY 7.
In this part of the count! y the weather is quite on
.the increase in severity.. An immense quantity of
snow has ,fallen since Friday last; and on Tuesday
evening a strong wind, accompanied by a sharp frost,
set in, which has drifted the snow in such immense
bodies, in particular places, as to tender the toads to
Manchester and Liverpool, both by way of Halifax
and Iludders6eW—to York, Ripon, and Newcastle,
almost impassable. On Wednesday morning, the
guard brought the.bags of the York Mail to Leeds
Ott horseback, the -horses being unable to drag the
';coach through the snow. On Blackstone Edge and
Oioet as Heights, the snow was considtrably above
:the lop of the coach:: and. in; one place a number of
mtn. were en.scloped to cut through a space of neatly
two wiles before the rood was passable. In C 04156.

LAIV INTELLIGENCE.

AFRICAN EXPEDITION,
TOR DISCOVERING THE COURSE OF THE NIGER.

The Mission, consisting of Dr. Ounebrav, Major
DENIIA AI, and Lieutenant CLAPPERTOI4, had, on their
first journey, arrived at Moorzouk, the capital of the
kingdom of Fezzan, in the month of April last, in
the best health mid spirits, having performed the jour-
ney in 42 days, a distance of 600 miles. On arriving
at MoorAptik, the same house was prepared for them
that b 0 been inhabited by Mr. Racine and his,
friends, in the year 1819, and where he fell a victim
to the arduous enterprize he had undertaken. All
those who have read Captain LYON'S interesting nar-
rative of this journey, will recollect the delays and
diffidulties that presented themselves to the further
prosecution of their object, and the privations they
had here to encounter and endure, which paralysed
their ezertioas by exhausting at once their health and
their resources. Major DENHAM, fearing lest his
hopes might be defeated by similar means, and all
his endeavours to advance to Bourno proving ineffec-
tual, decided on the hazardous alternative of return-
ing to Tripoli, and he describes his journey in the
following words:
" la pursuance of my intentions, which you were made ac-
quainted with by my letter from Moorzuuk, I left that place
on the 19th of May, and after twenty-two days of very great
fatigue, arrived here (Tripoli) on the llth bf last month. One
Arab Sheik and two camels composed,' with
.myself, the cara-
van. Our usual time was from 14 to 16 hours In the 24 on the
march; and in passing the Deserts (three and four days in length)
always 18 hours ; the camels I scarcely ever allowed to rest ;
the halt we always made in the middle of the day, to allow the'
camels to come up, was by far the most trying part of the jonr-
trey. Exposed to the burning heat of the mid-day sun, where
nature had not provided shade sufficient for a grasshopper, lying
on a scorching sand, and with nothing to alleviate our parching
thirst but wretched water, which had been for several days in
beastly skies, was a misery I had no conception of before.
" At night we generally got a little kouscacous, with some fat
nod salt, no bad sapper ; hut a cup of tea was luxury supreme, as
it satisfied thirst, and took elf the edge of the putrid taste of the
bed water ; our fire, which was always made by scraping tor:
['.ter the camels' dung which we found, was consequently uncer-
tain, and we sometimes could not find more than was necessary
for boiling a little water. I had a tent with me, but seldom
fitched it, we were all tired, and my Arab thought it quite use-
-I,:ss ' • we slipt oil our horses when nearly sleeping with fatigue
and heat, the nose-bag was put over the poor animal's head, and
a cord round his two fore legs; the loose stones were soon cleared
from a space large enough to receive our carcases, and rolled up
it. a fen-muse, in two minutes all our troubles were forgotten."
arrangz nents having been now made, by winch it is
hoped all the difficulties, except those of climate, may be avoided,
Major Denham has again set forward to rejoin his associates,
and, in a subsequent letter, says, " I shall certainly make the Vt.
tempt at returning home by way of Egypt,"

COURT or CHANCERY, FEBRUARY 7.

PRACTICE OF TILE COURT.—ERFARTE MIME/. ,
The Lotto CHANCELLOR having in the early part
of the day made an older in this cause, which re,,
fated merely to costs,
Mr:AOAlt (whOcame into Court some time after)
wk.hed to say a fair words respecting his Lordshies
decision, as he did not happen to be in Court when
the matter war mentioned: _ _ • _

The LoanCtiANcEtiors—Mr. Agar, that ""as not
my fault. I will not hear another word upon that
subject. The case has been already once disposed 01,
Ltd the time of the Public most not be wasted, and
the-patience of the Court shall not be trifled with, by
your imposing on me the tislt'Of kearing it a second
time, merely because it. inked your convenience to
be in the Vice-Chancellor's Court when the question
was first agitated.
*Mr. c osn vas exceedingly sorry it had so hap-
pened, but he. had not been aware that the matter
would so soon have come on. The observation he
was instructed to make, however, would not occupy
vue moment, if it was consented to.
The LOAD CUANCELLOR—I repeat it, Mr. Agar, I
will-not hear you ; you have really driven me to the
adoption of some measure of this %flit, from the fre-
quent, hay, I may say almost daily occurrence of
this grievance. I not only owe it to my own con-
sistencv, but it is due to the dignity of the Court that
I should no longer allow Counsel, because the Vice-
Chancellor will not suffer himself to be so treated, to
absent themselves in the other Court, and only t
come into this Hall at their convenience, often when
a c.mse has been disposed of, when they take it as al
matter of course that I should bear it over again. It
is not fair, that while the Vice-Chancellor gains the;
credit (and very properly) of not suffering this delay,
that my character should suffer with the Public, be-
cause lam thus imposed upon. In future, it. musti
be distinctly understood, that when it happens that
the opening Counsel is absent, I shall immedi:
ately ;direct the cause to be sttuck out of the paper
a)togeilier, and when the Counsel for the Ofher party
is out of Court, I.shall consider the application, whsit-
ever it may be, as unopposed. As this is not the
first tine that I hare given notice of my intention so
to do, no Gentiethhn at the Bar can plead ignorance,
and therefOre I shall enforce it in the present instance.
1 will not bear another word respecting it ; if my de-
cision has been wrong, the parties know their remedy.
Mr. AGAR bowed to his Lordship ; after which the
Court proceeded to the consideration of various part-
beatki bankrupt petitioni.
Sic&CUANdet.LOR'S COURT, FEBRUARY 7.
1.9411 D MVVIEE v. SIR T. CARR.
In this *ate Mr. WisKeatELD moved that Mr. Lee,
an Attorney, should be ordered to produce some
papers heltinging to Lord Hawke, within a fortnight,
ty- the gitortnei 9f the plairtai. on their undertak
tug to aeliver them up again at the' termination of the
cause for which their production was required.
Ti c
circumstances of the case were these. Some time
since Lord Hawke was in embarrassed circum-
staucec, and_applied to a Mr. Rickworth, a banker
at York, for assistance. The latter promised to aid
his Lordship, provided he would employ Mr. Lee,
who Was then Mr. Rickwortb's attorney. His Lord-
ship placed hisgfairs acchrdingly in the bands of
Mr. Lee. In the course of some transactions, a re-
ceiver was directed to be placed on the estate of his
tordship, and Mr. Rickwarl was appointed as re-
. ceirer. The latter, however, had never accounted
for the produce of these estates, and an account was
directed against him, when Mr. Lee appeared as his-
attorney. It was then that Lord Hawke appointed
Messrs. Jewell as hii aitornies, and it was now moved
that Mr, Lee should be 'obliged to deliver up some
papers to them which he had in his possession be-
longing to his Lordship;-and which papers were ne-
cessary for the purpose of conducting this suit, and.

• I • ••
. " • &

an underiaking would be sivettelb mieliver them
when they were no longer naotssory.
Mr. HART opposed the motion. There was no
case to which there were -fewer exceptions than that
an attorney could only be called upon to deliver up
papers when his costs were paid.
The VICE-CHANOSLLOR suggested that the Rule
did not apply, When the attorney stopped in the mid-
dle of the cause, and appeared in a character hostile

to his client.
Mr. HART said, in this case Mr. Lee was ready to
deliver up the whole of the pa €s belonging to Lord
Hawke, on his Lordship's paying the costs. On his
Lordship's application for them a bill of costs was
presented to him, and he had it taxed, and finding it
more easy to have the bill taxed than to pay it, he now
took this course to get the papers out of the hands
of Mr. Lee. It appeared from answers given to his
Honour by the Counsel, that thi papers which it was
named that Mr. Lee should deliver up, or allow the
inspection dt were not relating to the matters in ques-
tion, between Lord Hawke and Mr. Rickworth.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he could never make
such an order as that moved for. The motion was
allowed to stand over, with respect to the costs of the
application only, until some further proceedings in
the cause, when his Honour said he would see whe-
ther he should not fix Lord Hawke with the costs.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEBRUARY 7.
SMUGGLING.
On a former day, Mr. PLATT obtained writs oi
habeas corpora to bring up the bodies of twenty-two
persons, who were detained on board his Majesty's
ship Severn, without warrant or other lawful cause.
In a day or two afterwards the Solicitor-General
obtained a wilt of certiorari to return the_proceedings
before a Coronet's Inquest, touching the death of a
Custom-house Officer, named William Cullum, of the
Revenue cutter, called the Badger, and Also the pro-
ceedings before an Inquest, touching the death of
three persons unknown, who were killed in a conflict
between the Badger and a Dutch smuggler, name
unknown, off the coast of France, on the 13th of
January last, In obedience to these several writs,
the twenty-two individuals above-mentioned were,'
this morning, brought into Court handcuffed, to-.
gether with the several proceedings mentioned in the
certiorari. • TA, return to thews its of habeas.corpora;
made by' Captain' McCulloch, of the Severn, stated*:
that the prisoners pow returned had .beeosiblittered"
into custody _by Lieutenant- Henry Nagle, of 'the
113idger, on the 13th of January, as persons who were.
taken onboard a Dutch smuggler, laden with half
,ankets of 'foreign Spirits on the rims; of France, the
same morning, and charged with the wilful murder.
'of Cullunt,-who.was killed by a gun-shot
Mound, qtr ittie.tagensent tetween 'the Badger and
the DutelOtutigglet, and that the said prisoners ha&,
'beep, ever siatt.l4i% -detained until a convenient op-
portunity could be found' for transmitting them to
London, to be dealt with' according to law.. The
proceedings returned is Obedience to the certiorari,
parpOr,tad trR, .4.014aia the depositions taken on two
leveral Inquest: held
.at Dover..one_concerning the
death of 'William ,Cullu in, the verdict being wilful
murder against some person or-persons to the Jurors
anknowo; and *the other ',concerning the. death of
_three persons, names unknown, found_dead on board
the Dutch smuggler, names unknown, -the verdict
being justifiable hon.:icicle. The depoii ions se4rally
purported to state the circumstances of the conflict,
in which his Majesty .6
revenue cutter Badger was en-
gaged with a Dutch armed smuggler. crew 25 men.
commanded by a Dottlifnan, on the nth of January,
in which.Mr..Cuilorn was deliberately murdered after
the sMugglerhed crie-d for quarter; and three of the
crew of the smuggler were killed in the. course of the
previous engagement. • The Wafts corpora had been
moved for on the 12.7thsiif 'January, and now,
Mr. Ilaocurt AM arid 31r. PLATT appeared-Tor the
prisoners, and insisted that they- were entitled. to be
discharged on three grounds : first, that the return to
the Habeas Corpora presented na reasert- for thedeten-
Lion of the prisoners, inasmuch as there sieve s,ite*ir-
cumstances alleged justifying any suspicion against
them ; secondly, that supposing there were sincum-
Aances of suspicion, still that an unreasonable length
of time had elapsed, namely, from the 13th to the
27th of January, befbre any steps were taken to in-
vestigate the case beliore Justlces of the Peace; and
thirdly, that as no such steps had been taken, the
Judges Of this Court would not be warranted in or-
altring the farther detention of the prisoners, by reason
of the objection appearing on the face of the return.
The Colour, without hearing the Counsel for the
Crown, wet e clearly of opinion that, supposing the
return to the writs of Habeas Corpus to-be informal,
still, as it appeared Eon) the return to the Certiorari
that a murder had been in fact committed in the
course of a transaction in which all the prisoners
were engaged, there was sufficient to justify them in
their discretion in ordering that the prisoners should
be detained until the circumstances of the carte should
be investigated before Justices of the Peace; for
which purpose their Lordships ordered that the pri-
soners should be committed to the custody of the
Marshal of the Marshalsea; but their Lordships
urged the.propi iety of a speedy investigation into the
case by the proper Authorities. Their Lordships
thought, Considering the circumstances under which
the prisoners had been apprehended, that no unreason-
able delay had taken place in causing an investigation
before Magistrates, so as to justify their discharge.
The prisoners, many of whom were wounded, were
committed according to the directions of the Court.
CRIMINAL INIFOR4TION.
Mr. Scantarr moved for a criminal information
against two Magistrates of the county of Suffolk, for,
omitting to set forth the evidence upon the record of
a conviction of a respectable carrier, named Marsh,
of Norwich. -for unlawfully carrying in one of his
waggons twenty-two live pheasants, and twenty-two
partridges, for which supposed offence_ he had been
adjudged to pay penalties to the amount of 2251.
cohtrety to evidence, demonstrating his' utter ig-
norance of the offence imputed. It was alleged that
the object of the Magistrates in omitting-to set forth
the evtdeace,was to prevent the defendant from avail-
ing himself of the advantage of a certiorari, to remove
the proceedings, in order to quash the conviction.
At the suggestion of the Court, Mr. SCARLITT was
content to take a rule for a tnentkants to compel the
Justices to draw up afresh conviction, setting forth
the evidence, and a certioreri•to retnowesuch couvicr;
uoa when prepared, in ordot that the jesticelf the
case might be attained.
