designated as the first victims, were all the members of
the In% erial _Family: that they-Were all to be sacrificed
at the same time; and that insurrections should break
out at once at St. Petersburg!), at Moscow, and in 'eve;
dal distonments of the army. The men, enworthy of
the name of Russians, who meditated these designs,
strangely deceived themselves both with respect. to the
extent of their means, which were null, and the po.si-
bility of the revolt which they thought they had pre-
pared. Their attempt_at St. Petersburgh on cite 26th
of December, and that of Muravieff Apostol, near Ki ff,
have pond that they could not rely on assistance from
any class of the nation ; for the few soldiers, an 4 even
-some of the officers, who followed them, were only de-
Ceived, and thought that they we-e combatting foe
their oaths : they have proved that such plots, even it
the corkbination had been less absurd, could not attain
their object in Russia.
We repeat it—the number of conspirators, and espe-
cially that of the great criminals, is not considerable.
All the secret associations which they had established are
known; all the projects which their infatuation or their
villainy formed are revealed ; all the means they were to
employ to execute them are discovered ; and thus,-as
we have already had occasion to state, important die..
tinctiens appear, as it were of themselves, among the
accused whom the Commission of 'lnquiry has to ex-
amillia—Some of the founders ere Chiefs of the secret
societies; others, their accomplices, were initiated into
their frightful mysteries; others were to be the instru-
Mats of instructions, with which they were, in fact,
snactriatinted.
, Lastly, there are some, who, like the misled soldiers,
did not think they took arms against order and their
legitimate Sovereign.
These differences could not but prolong the labours
of the commission of inquiry. Though the chief cri-
minals are already convicted, the exemplary punishment
due to regicides, to promoters of troubles, or to men
taken with arms in their hands, has necessarily been de-
fated, that the commission might confront them with
their accomplices—that it might by means of the whole
of the examinations, and the proofs resulting from them,
Ibe able to deter Mine the different degrees of punish-
mem ; above all,not to exaggerate them, and arrive at
conclusions, the justice of which should be incontestable.
For the rest, the conclusion of its labours is not
far off; and we hasten to add, that it has orders to point
out to the Emperor, without delay, all the individuals
arrested from a fortuitous concurrence of circumstances,
on suspicions which have proved unfounded, and that his
Imperial Majesty immediately had them set at liberty.
DEATH OF THE ELEPHANT AT EXETER
CIIANGE.

This woopeadousanimaa, which bas been for some time
is a teWve state at feet o'clock yesterday afternoon,
'Newt.

was COD owl is arempartment of the grand ba)l, in
which these animals of Mr. Cross's valuable col.
lectiOn ors kept. If, therefore, he bad finally sue.
needed in pectin; loose, the destruction of property
would have been. immense. and from what has subse
gutsily' (umpired. there is every reason to suppose
some bees weeld hue been lost before he could have
been killed At half-past four o'clock, the violrnt ex-
ertions he made to break the huge doot" and bars of
his den, in which he partly succeeded, fully determined
Mr. Cross's mind. He sent to Somerset House for
the assistance of some of the guards stationed there,
who soon arrived, and continued firing at him for one
beur before he fell. Them were one hundred and
eighty musket balls fired at him, during which time
the exasperated animal made furious but unsuccessful
efforts to get at his assailants. The ball, by which be
fell, entered under the ear. One of the keepers then
fastened a sword to the end of a pole, and thrust it se-
veral times up to the hilt in Jiis body. It is the same
elephant that killed its keeper a few months ago. The
Strand, for some hours, was almost impassible from
the number of people collected around the 'Change.—
The number viewing the dead body is immense. In
fact, it is more attractive on account, of the manner of
its death than it ever was while alive ; and the price
of admission is considerably. increased. The animal
stood 15 fees high—the body, as it lies on the floor,
is of the height of six feet. The attack open his late
keeper, which proved fatal, is not the only act of
violence which this animal bad committed. Semeryears
ago he was in the habit of rubbing his head against the
side of his apartment, to allay an itching on his fore.,
head. From his great weight and strength, this op.-
ratirm shook the whole building, and the keeper, with
a view to prevent its-continuance, took an opportunity
of driving some short nails nearly to the beAci, upon
the favourite spot on the side of the cell. Tne event
justified the expectation. The first time the elephant
resumed his amusement his bead was scratched by die
projecting nails, and he soon discontinued the practice.
the unfortunate keeper, however, paid dearly for his
device. Oa his approaching the cell, the elephant,
who knew to whom he was indebted for his scratched
forehead, immediately attacked him, and but for the
immediate interference of the servants of the place
would have killed him on thrspot.

Nearly all the vessels which arrived at Cowes last
week exhibit, from their disabled state, the effects of the
boisterous weather which they have exp:rienced.
At the Surrey Adjourned :sessions, yesterday, Thomas
Weller, a person in the employment of Messrs. Burnett,
distillers, Vauxhall, was convicted of stealing quan-
tities of spirits from the distillery, part of which was
found concealed in bladders in his trowsers, and the
rest in lt,s hat, as he was about to leave the premises.
Ile was sentenced to fourteen Tram' transportation, the
severest sentence.the Court could Inflict, as an example

LAW 'REPORT.

awimigillo.-

COURT OF CHANCERY. MARC' i.
MOTION TO COMMIT TOR MARRYING% WARD Or COURT.
Mr. SPENCE said, the persons against whom this
application was made were Mt. Hayward, a clergyman
of the age of 44, who had mulled Ann Sampson, an
infant of the age of 19, who inherited the property of a
'deceased relative, knowing her to be a ward of Court,
and the father of the infant ward, for having, without
any legal authority, con,ented to *td assisted in such
marriage, upon receiving from Mr. Hayward two sums
of 101. each.

Mr. Bas Mas and Mr. Sxtunow, far Mr. Hayward
and Sampson, the father, submitted that this was not a
case in which the Court would exercise. its power, as in
the case of a contumacious contempt of Court. They
*hewed from the evidence, that ?Ir. Hayward was a
curate, and en usher in a respectable seminary, and that
his income amounted to 2001. per annum, while the
property of the ward was 1001. per annum only; that
Mr. Hayward had repeatedly applied to Mr. Doe, the
guardian and trustee of the ward's property, at whose
house he was in the habit of visiting, for his consent ;
that'Doe had slightly objected so the marriage at first,
or rather had merely said, that he would have nothing
to do with the matter, and that it would be time enough,'
for her to think of marrying ten years hence, she being'
then nineteen. It certainly proved that the trustee was
not an advocate for early marriAges ; but he had ulti-
mately withdrawn his opposition, and referred him to
her father. Mrs. Doe also, the widow of the testator,
had *hewn herself a decided friend to the marriage ;
and so strongly were the young Lady's affections en.
gaged, and so little did her opinions, with respect to
early ma rri ages, concur with those of the worthy trustee,
that her father, on seeing her auction at the delay of
her wishes, had exclaimed, 64 Ann, I see plainly that it
will be the death of you if I do not consent."
Lvov Caalienton.—Th• paid" says that Sampsoa, the father,
was a assa le Wisest eiramtardow, and that Insomniac was par-
chased by iso pounds paid dowse aad a promise of ten pounds
stew dos marriage.
Mr. SlCtitioW admitted that the father received these
two sums t but he bad given his consent under the ins-
pulksion that he had a-lessi right ,o to ao, So cautious
nsdeed was Mr. Hayward not to transgress the law of
the Court in this business, that, on the first intimation
that the Lady was a ward of Chancery, he had submit.
ted a case and copy of the testator's will to counsel,
who had infotmed-hies "that it did not necessarily f-
low from that will that she was a ward of Chancet"
—lt did not not require much legal acumen to return
such an answer as that, and he (Mr. Bkirrow) thought
that had he been the counsel conselted,whicb he assured
his Lordship he was nut, he could have given the parties
!pme safer advice. It did not appear that the bill, by the
filing of which the Infant had been made a ward of the
Court, had ever bees suentioned to the Gentleman who

gave that sapient opinion,or that it had once bees thought
of by Mr. Hayward, who, feeling himself secure by the
answer he bad recalled, had concluded the marriage.
There appeared to have been great neglect on the part
of the trubtee and guardian in not interfering decidedly,
in not preventing the marriage. He had :hewn no ob.
jections whatevet to the person; his only objection
seemed to be the Lady's ever marrying at all.

Tois was an inquiry before a Special iurY, to uses
reasonable compensation for the damages which ini'ght
be sustained by the plaintiffs, in con-sequence of the tor:
feiture of premises, occupied by them as copperimit.4s
in Fleet•market, lot certain ei.y improvenents.
The plaintiffs alleged that :he ,urre,sder of their ma-
nufactory in Fleet-markct would inevitably lead to thd
dest.uction of ,their business as warehowlemen,and would
also deprive them of the use and value of topper mills
at Merton, and a foundry at Siadriell; which they car:
ried on in ccnnection.with the works in Fleet-astrkel ;
and the evidence produced went to make out an e,ti-
mate of the loss which they would sustain by the aboli-
tion of these various branches of their trade, for whiCh
they demanded a specific compensation.
The ATroaristassum., on the part of therity re-
sisted the claim of the plaintiffs, on the plea of its being
exorbitant, inasmuch as the surrender of the premises in
Fleet•rnarket, at a just valuation, such as that set upon
them by the City, would not be attended with the ex-
traordinary disadvantage represented by the plaintiffs.
:since they would be enabled to procure another 064-
don for their works; and on the other band; thee ate
copper mills and foundery bieng distinct branches of
trade, would not be affected by the temporary incon-
venince chat might be felt by the transfer of the works
from Fleet-mat ket.

After a very protracted investiption. and a considerabletime oc.
eupied hi their deliberation upon the evidence, the Jury returned
the following verdict in favour of the plaintilh—Valve ut premises
1'11.127 104. 6d. fixtures SB6 10s. 6d. good.wiliolanaages, and
compensation X 111,242 15s. Ild.

The Glamorgansh:re Canal cause came on this nursl-
ing for the third time. The defendant's case finished
at a late boui last night, and this morning the Itird
Chief Justice summed up, and read over the evidence.
which occupied upwards of too hours. He was of
opinion that, in point of law, the plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict, but the Jury would say, after considering •
the evidence, whether the proposed improvements con-
templated by the defendants would so tar damage or
injure the plaintaff's mills as to entitle him to weeoiact,
and if not, to give a verdict for the defendant,'... fl
The Jul' retired to consider their verdict, smd.Mlsie
being absent for three quavers of nit hour, tettrietrit
verdict, saying, that what has been already. done in
widening and deepening the canal, has not, end will
not injure the plaintiff, but that, if the further improve-
ments contemplated be carried into effect, they will in-
jure him. The result of the verdict therefore is, a ver-
dict for the plaintiff on the second issue, and for the de.
Indent on the fisst.
