COURT or CHANCERY, JULY
110/ISON I. CAMEITON.
His LORDSHIP, after a shoz t conversation with Mr.
Lowe, the solicitor, ordered the injunction in this case
to restrain certain proceedings by a creditor at law to
stand. The principle upon which his Lordship pro-
ceeded was, that during the existence of a decree,
directing creditors to go before the Master and prove
their debts, it was not in the power of an individual
creditor to commerce any action at law.

WOEONVPIP CIREIG V. SOMERVILLE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR in this motion, which was
Leard late in the day, yesterday decided that Count
Lieven, in the name of his Imperial .Majesty, the Em-
•zior of all the Itirs,iars, mi•rlit go before the Master,
:tad prove his debt of '41,11.9.1. against the e.aate of the
late Sir Samuel Greig. He, however, thought the
Vite-Chancelior's order ought to be amended, so far as
to elempt the infant from the payment of any more
than his share, in case the proof were made gold and
the debt established. It might be a doubt whtther, in
such a case as this, the more circuitous course of filing
a bill ought not to have been pursued ? Ile thought,
however, that under the circumstances, the proceeding
by petition was sufficient. With this alteration, there-
fore, he confirmed his Honour's judgment.
His Loinsiisi. fixed his judgment In the Elephant and Castle
Charity for Monday.
Ilegre4ter part of the day was occupied with hearing a long
a4l intricate motion relative to a partnership account. The Court
rose at hilt.past two.

The Prince Royal of PRUSSIA, travelling incognito,
under the name of Count as Zoirsse, is arrived at Brus,el4.
In the Insolvent Debtor's Court. yesterday, William
Nail, a blacksmith, living at Lisson Green, was re-
manded for three months within the walls, for vexatious
proceedings against his creditors. Nail was very
abusive, but apologised far it by lamenting that he was
a hat man.—A rat-catcher and coal-merchant, named
Yeutter, shared a similar fate, for making over his
property to his brother, a mole-catcher, before he went
to prison.
Yesterday, at Worship-street Office, T. Gagger's, a
private in the Tower Hamlets Militia, was charged
with stabbing George Di igge in the forehead with his
bayonet. It appeared that the complainant had. with
other persons, frequently anusyed the soldiers when off
and on duty, with insulting epithets, and on Sunday
morning, in return for one of his salutes, was comp-
mente3 with a knock-down blow, when he rushed into
the ranks, and received the wound in the scuffle.
Goggan was not the man who wounded the corn-,
plainant; but the Magistrate seeing nothing in the bu-
siness beyond personal pique,discharged Goggan on bail.
A comet was seen at Brighton, about two o'clock in
the mornings of the earlier days of last week; its po-
sition in the heavens was due north east, and it is de-
scribed as having that appearance which is denomi-
nated 44 bearded.'
Tuesday, the LORD MAYOR was waited upon by
Frenchman, named Keijeux, who presented to his
Lordship a letter f- on) the Amateurs of Pigeons of the
City of Verviers, in the Low Countries, wherein they
requested his Lordship to allow thirty-two pigeons;
which Keijeux had brought with him, to be let fty in
the City on the 26th or 27th instant, between seven
and eight in the morning. Keijeux also informed the
Loan MAYOR, that they had made experiments to
ascertain the utility of pigeons in modes of conveyance
of intelligence from one country to another, all over the
• Continent; and he produced a certificate from the
Mayor cf Calais corroborative of his statement, and
which stated that sixty-four pigeons were, on a certain
day, dispatched from Calais. The LORD MAYOR could
not, after the condescension of the Mayor of Calais,
refuse to give his certificate, which satisfied Keijeux,
who yesterday morning repaired to the top of the
tlansion.house, at a little after eight o'clock, and let
the whole flock of pigeons out of his basket, at precisely
twenty minutes after that hour. One of the flock flew
awry from the right direction, but thirty-one flew off
according to the wish of Keijeux, who said they would
dsubtless reach the Netherlands in five hours and a half,
if he were to judge from their former speed.
Wednesday morning, a disturbance occurred in
Webb-street, St. Olave s, which excited great terror in
that neighbourhood while it lasted. The child of a
skive of Ireland died some days ago, and before the
4r wake" had taken place the body was stolen by some
of the resurrection men. As soon as this circumstance
became known in Tooley-street, an immense number
oldie lower orders of that country assembled together,
and a report having got wind amongst them that the
body of the child was disposed sf at Csrainger's dissect-
iorrooms, in Webb-street; thither the mob repaired,
Ord having taken up their station in front of the theatre
of anatomy, with dreadful menaces and imprecations,
thteatened to pull down the house about the ears of the
inmates if the body was not immediately delivered up.
The anatomist himself made his appearance at one of
the windows, and assured them that such a subject had
not been brought to his house, but all his endeavours
to convince them of this fact proved unavailing, and it
was not until the aid of the police was called in that the
disturbance, which for a length of time had a very
thieatening aspect, subsided.
Shortly after nine o'clock yesterday morning, the in-
habitants of Long's-court, St. Martin's-street, Leicester-
square. were thrown into a state of great alarm, owing•
to the falling In of the floors of the houses, Nos. 3 and
4, in the court. The inmates, consisting of poor people,
had just time to save their lives. At twelve o'clock the
roofs of the houses fell, and for a few minutesthe whole
neighbenrhocsd was enveloped in a complete cloud of
dust fium the ruin's. , The principal part of the persons
ii:ho were thus deprNed of their dwellings are removed
to St. Martin's Workhouse ; others have obtained lodg.
lugs in the neighbourhood. Most of the furniture has
been dug out of the ruins.. The Annoyance Jury con-
demned the whole of the houses in Long's-court, last
Thursday, and gave the inhabitants notice to quit, but
• they had been persuaded to remain, by an assurance that
no immediate danger was to be apprehended.
In the night of Wednesday last, eighty:five ewes rind
lambs, part of the highly-esteemed Se,u hdown flock
belonging to Mr. Joust Bawrneg, of Southminster,
were destroyed by two dogs, a pointer and a terrier.—
The shepherd bad that morning risen somewhat earlier
than usual, and when he reached the spot, sixty of
these inoffensive aninrali were lying dead, and presented,
. e, most shocking spectacles twenty-five others, were so
