We stated briefly, on Tuesday, the stfbstance of
the Judgment pronounced by the House of-Lords,
!in these important Appeals. The following is a
more particular statement of the Findings, in as far
as regards the general point of law at issue :---elt
Find* that the late Duke of Queensberry had not
power, under the. Entail of the Family Estates, to
let Tacks (Leases) partly for Rent reserved and
partly for sums of money (called grassums) paid to
himself; and that Tacks granted upon the resigna-
tion of former Tacks, which were granted partly
for Rent reserved and partly for sums paid to the
Duke himself, are to he considered as Tacks •madi•
partly for Rent reserved and partly for sums paid to
the Duke himself ; and that the Tacks in question,
having been granted partly for Rent reserved and
partly for a sam, or price, paid to the Duke for for-
mer Tacks renounced, for which sums or pi ices bad
been paid besides the Rents reserved, the same
' are to be considered as Tacks partly for Rent and
partly for a sum or price paid to himself, and ought
not to be considered in a question with the Teinants
claiming under the said Tacks, as let without evi-
dent diNlinution of the Rental. With this Finding
the Causes arc remitted to the court of Session to do
as it shall deem just, consistent with this Finding.

Elements of the Comet, situated in the constellation
of the Lynx, communicated by M. Boy WARD, Mem-
ber of the French Academy of Sciences, and Astro-
nomer to the Bureau of Longitude :
Passage to the Perihelion, ‘.•..1 August, at Twelve, mid-day.
Periliclial distance.. C. 51744
The distance of the Earth from the Sun being taken as unity.
Longitude of the perihelion
Longitude of the node 277 14
Inclination of the orbit 44 57
Heleocentric movement, direct
These elements are as yet but approximations.
This Comet does not resemble any which have been
hitherto observed.

M. BLANPAIN, Director of the Royal Observant y
of Marseillei, has read, at a sitting of the Academy
of that City, a Notice on the Comet discovered by
M. Pons, previous to that which now attracts such
attention. It appears from this Notice, that the for-
mer has, since the 12th June, the day of its discovery,
daily encreased in apparent size and lipailliancy, but
by almost insensible degrees, for it is still very small,
and quite invisible to the naked eye. Its nucleus is
besides indistinctly marked, and its beams very
faint ; it is still without any appearance of a tail.—

The Archdeacon of LINCOLN met with a severe ac-
cident a few days ago at Louth, whilst mounting
his horse to proceed on his visitation. The animal
plunged violently, and fell 'with him on the pave-
ment, in consequence of which the Archdeacon re-
ceived several severe contusions on the head, and,
sprained both his wrists.
By the Ann whaler, from VanDieman's Land, we,
have received a letter from Hobart's Town ; of which
the following is an extract Considering the cir-
cumstances of this Cclony, provisions are moderate,
arising mostly from our intercourse with India.—
Owing to the climate, our harvest does not commence
till December in New South Wales, and January in
Van Dieman's Land ; of the two settlements the latter
is considered the most healthy. A bushel of cur wheat
generally weighs 651bs. This settlement has been ma-
terially improved within these few years ; cultivation
is rapidly increasing ; and many of the prisoners, still
under the sentence of the law, have lands and cattle;
and a great many have houses, in Hobart Town. Se-
veral accomplished pickpockets, who made a conspi-
cuous figure in London, may be daily seen driving
of cattle, making bricks, and other laborious em-
ployments."
The following is an Extract from a Letter, dated
Monte-Video, 21st March, 1819:—" 1 hasten to in-
form you of the liberation of M. BARROW, who had
been atrested at Buenos-Ayres, where lie was the
Agent of the. General-in-Chief of the Po, tugue e
troops who occupy Monte-Video. This event was
communicated to the General-in-Chief by the _Presi-
dent Puvaitzooo, in a very polite and friendly letter,
in which he declared that the Govern:petit of Buenos-
Ayres had been cob pelled to act as it'had done, by
reasons of a direct personal nature connected With
M. BARROW : that the same reasons rotted the 6o-
veirnment to send him from Buenos-Ayrel, but that,
it was ready to receive any othir person whom the
General-in-Chief might think proper to send to re-
place M. BARROZO in the office with which he had
been intrusted.—AnxioAs has been beaten by Gene-
ral URA DO, with a loss of 150 prisoners; and we
are waiting for the result (which "cannot be doubtful)
of a combined attack which the troops of Monte-
'Video, and those of Rio-Grande, are about to make
on this said Chief'AßTioAs:'
