evening the tit st meetings for the season, of that
learned bodies. were held in succession. T►:e Royal

President, in the Chair. A summary of the papers deT
livered dui ing the last Session was read by the Secre-
tary. One of them' exci:ed the risible faculties of all
present. Its object was t prove, from the subsidence
of the waters of the sea, that there was a nece.sity for a
further supply of water, which could only be et c:ed
by another deluge; and it recommended that the dif.
lerent Governments of the world should establish large
.water•prnof receptacles in the tops of the highest
mountains for the preservation of all the valuable te-
cords now possessed by mankind.

ceeded those of any previous week since barest, tog. titer with the
admission of upwards of 400,000 quarters of Fortign Wheat at a
duty of Is. p.r quarter, and the probability of a similar duty on any
that may arrive for several weeks, have tended further to reduce this
prices of aU free grain. Wheat is 2d. to 3d. and Oats full) hl. pee

the former were a day or two sgo forced at a greater decline. but .
at this morning's market there was rather more confidence, and the
best Irish new Wheats were saleable at that quotation. Fnie heavy
Oats are in fair request, but the inferior qualities as with difficulty
disposed of at the above reduction. Flour is fallf Is. cheaper.—

THE FISHER GIRL -A SEA-SIDE SKETCH.
•
DT
DIRNARD BARTON.
My he.. is on the ocean shore,
My father's cot beside the wave,
Where winds of winter loudest roar, I,
And crested billows hoarsest rave.
• liely brothers, beautiful and brave,
'At Trafalgar, by Nelson's side,
Too early won a watery grave,
And fell in boyhood's pride!
11l could my mother's heart sustain
A blow so sudden and severe;
She died ! and I alone remain
My sire% else childless home to cheer :
!wept ! but he could shed no tear,
Though I might hear his stifled groan,
When slowly from my mother's bier
He turned—to me alone!
tot Poverty, whate'er its 'lief,
Must labour for its daily bread;
Its hour of mourning must be brief,
However dear the humble dead :
And Childhood's tear, though freelfshed,
Is soon forgotten—day by day,
As o'er our lowly roof it sped, •' •
Some sorrow stole away !
And now I Would not change my lot
For that of wealth's most splendid home;
More dear to me our sea-side cot
Than grandeur's proudest, loftiest dome :
The beach, where hour by hour I roam,
Is more than flowery fields to me ;
Its breakers, crested white with foam,.
My playmates frank and free!
The rocky cliffs that lift on high
Their froms to battle with the breeze,
Are lovelier to my partial eye
Than verdant clumps of leafy trees;
The solemn sound of tossing seas,
The fisher's song, the gull's loud ery,•
My childish fancy better please
Than inland melody !
Then think me not of hope forlorn
Or wrigled by toil and sorrow down;
With basket on my arm, each morn
I gaily seek :he market-town :
None greet me with an angry frown,
But all my humble labours aid ;
Pity the King who wears a crown,
But not the Fisher Maid ! (Frees Ike Gem.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. ft.
•
• TRIAL AT BAR—FOURTH DAY.

THZ IXECUTORS OF JOSHUA RitIVE V. BRENTON.

A few minutes after ten o'clock three of the Judges
took their seats on the Bench, when the names of the
July were called over, and the tri4l proceeded. After
the examination of two witnesses respecting the general
opinion of the inhabitants of Cornwell as to what is
generally termed Duchy Land,
The ATTORNEY GENERAL tendered the following
clOcumentiry evidence, taken from the Duchy Office of
Cornwall.

Mr. HARRISIN read a 'ewe granted in the reign of
William the Third, dated 1692, granting to Henry Vin.
cent and Francis Stowell the :jet to mine for copper,
reserving to the Crown royal mines and mines of tin.
The second was the registry ref a lease granted in the
reign of Georgette First by the then Duke o' Cornwall,
dated the Sd of, arch, 1761, giving a similar grant to
the widow of Francis Scovrll.
Mr. BROUGHAM objected to this document being re-
cfived in evidence, it being only the registry of a geed,
sir t produced nor probably in existence st ch a docu-
ment as the one now tendered might be admi sib'',
where the deed was from the King, but whatever the
exalted rank of the then Duke of Cornwall might have
been, he was but a subject, and the evidence now ten-
dered was a copy of the enrolment in the Duchy office,
in place of the original lease,which was not accounted for.
The ATTORNEY Gatraam. replied at considerable
length, contending that the evidence was admissible,
which opinion was s.rpported by Mr. Ilmintsox.
Lord TENTRRDIN was r•f opinion that the enrolment
should be taken in evidence: for alerough these might
not be a Duke of Cornwall in exi.tener, there was in
the Duchy an Auditor and other Officers who con-
ducted the affairs of the Duchy, of- %hid' the Crown
always las an interest. The other Judges having de-.
livered their sentiments in favour of his Loid.hip's
opinion, the document was given in evidence.
The third was a lease, granted in the reign of George
11. to William Lemon, for a similar purpose, dated

July 3, 1741.
The fourth, dated June 13. 1762, in the reign of
George 111. by his present Maje►ty, to the trustees of
William Lemon. for which they paid into the hands of
the Treasurer of the Duchy Office 6001. The Cou►t
adjourned at the usual hour.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. WI
LAWRENCE V. HOOKER.

This was an action to recover 171. 10s. the value of
a horse and harness seized under a distress f rent. The
case was one not wholly devoid of interest to landlord
and tenant.
Mr. Sergeant WILD; for the plaintiff, said that the
defendant, Mr. Hooker, wiesifie landlord of a house in
White's-ground, Bermondsey, which he had let to a'
person named Gee. The latter was in arrear for the
rent, and finally became insolvent. Before he neat to
prison Gee sold a horse and harness for 171. 10s. to the
plaintiff Lawrence, who not being prepared with a st '-
Isle for it, obtained leave from Gee is let it remain in
bis stable for a few days, but before he could nice i:
away the defendant put in a distress, and the horse was
sold, to the defendant, being taken in part satisfaction oil
his demand. These were the princip.l facis of the case
It appeared from the evidence, that when the defendant
and his broker went on the premises they made an in-
rientory, though tln horse and stable were locked up;
and the defsndant's Counsel (Me. Sergeant 'CADDY)
assumed that was sufficient to coostitue a legal seizure,
though the horse was not actually touched for two days
after. The Cuts, .IE/nine held a contrary opinion, and
the Jury under his Lordship's
.directions, found their
verdict for the plaintiff—damages 171. 10s.

PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 1111.
NOICZ3 V. NUKES.
Dr. ADDAMS said, in this case the testatrix, whn at
the time of her death was a widow, left behind her, in
her own handwriting, a most singularly worded docu-
ment. which she styled her last will and testament. It
atis worded in that pa,ticular manner, that the Learned
Counsel thought it must be referred to a Court of Coa-
sts uction, as it was net alleged that the testatrix was i f
insane mind. See ds sired, that in ca e she died before
Ms Plies', the money that that Lady might leave her
14tould be divided amongst her tousins; when the fact
was, there was no probability of her mrseili UT any from
that source. She also directed 1401. to be paid to her
nephew, Robert Nokes, on his arriving at the aze of
fl; but particularly request-A her executors (.Ithough
none were seamed) not to ingest it in the Saving Banks,
as she did.pothie that establishment, but to put it into
the Stooks. In fact, the document was one of such an
extraordinary ch rater, that hi did not think the Court
tumid even treat it as a aill.
Sir J. %1/cam. thought the proper mode is such a'
ease would be tosrant administration 'Opt brother of

the deceased, as the cnly next of kin, witli this paper
annexed. Then, if necesbary, it might be again brought
under the consideration of the Conn, by the parties in•
wrested.
