Sr. KATII A RINE DOCK s.—On Tuesday, at la :1-
past two o'clock, the water was admitted into the eastern
dock, which will be ready in live or six days for the re-

ceeded to inspect the magnificent erections, now ad-
vancing rapidly towards completion, for a Corn-
Exchange, &c. at the head of his Grace's nte.%
market in the Park. We believe the Noble Lord of the
Manor, under whose munificent patronage both the exten-
sive and the splendid works above named have been pro-
jected and finished, as well as the illustrious Earl, ex-
pressed themselves as highly satisfied with the appearane.,
of these great improvements of his Grace's estate.
Yesterday morning, as the groom of Mr. Lambourre,
of No. 9, Foley-place, was exercising three horses iu
Langham-place, Portland-place, they got restive, and be-
came en►.angled, and, plunging for some time, the poor
fellow was at length thrown on the pavement with great
violence, and, frightful to say, two of the horses rol!ed
over him. At this time, Wilson, police-serjeant No. 16,
D. division, ran tohis assistance, as well as two others of
the police. The horses gallopped off, and made for the
stables in Riding-house-lane. On the poor fellow being
lifted up, it was found that his legs and arms were broken.
and was also dreadfully bruised on the body from the
horses rolling over him. The horses are severely injured,
as a quantity of their hair was left strewed on the pave-
ment. He was taken to Middlesex Hospital on a shutter,
without hope of recovery.
The parish church of Penshurst, Kent, was entered
a few days ago, and the thieves contrived to carry off the
communionplate, consisting of two silver flagons, one cup,
and one paten, marked with a porcupine, and the arms
of the Sidney family. They likewise stole four table-
cloths and four napkins, marked " Penshurst Church,'
with a piece of silk embroidered with silver.

PICIEMNG'S CASE.

A CHANCERY SALE IN THE " REBEL"

1.4,1 Friday one of those wholesale sacrifices, of pro-
rty called Chancery Salts, took place in the public sale-room,
Southampton-buildings, before Master J. W. F , Esq acting
by deputy. This sale was made by an order of Chancery in two
suit., both of which were between W. Hilton and Mary his wife
(late Nlary Harland,) plaintiffs, and James Harland and others, in-
cluding a Mrs. Caulfield, and the "rebel' Pickering and his wife,
defendants. The plaintiff's wife, the defendant, James Harland,
the wife of the rebel, Mrs. Canfield, and a Mrs. Bennett, were
brothers and sisters, and the suits arose from a quarrel as to the
fair distribution of property of a deceased brother among their
several children, which property was estimated as fairly worth
from .4112,000 to 5e25,000, hut which from certain " doings" will
not produce a third of these sums.
A little before one o'clock, 15 or 16 persons had assembled in
the sale-room, including some of the solicitors engaged in the two
causes, and James Harland and Mrs. t 2ulheld, who is a pauper.
The defendant Pick-ring, and his wife and children as visitors,
were in the Fleet Prison, where, notwithstanding the commissera-
tion of many professional gentlemen, and the amount of property
involved in the salts, they were nearly starving to death, while
their property was wasted away " according to Equity."
Before the sale commenced James Harland, addressing the Mas-
ter, said he was interested in this suit, and wished to forbid the
sale. In this he was joined by Mrs. Caufield. The Master said
he had no power to stop the sale : it must proceed. James Har-
land then emphatically declared, " You will please to observe, Sir,
that the parties have been dragged into these proceedings, without
knowing what they were doing." One of the solicitors said," Pilo,
pho ; no such thing." James Harland instantly left the room, and
did not worn to be present at the sale. Mrs. Caufield remained.
The Master then proposed—
Lot 1, very desirable Leasehold Premises, situated in Orchard-
place, the corner of Mill-raw, front of Kingsland-road, near
the Canal-bridge, and late in the occupation of Charles Harland,
deceased, 'who carried on a very extensive business therein, as a
machinist and engineer, but are suitable to many other trades ;
they comprise a substantial brick building, in front of the road,
with private entrance-passage to the dwelling-house, which con-
sists of, on the upper floor, three good bed-chambers ; one pair
floor, a neat front sitting-room, a middle room, and a dining•
room. Ground floor, a convenient kitchen ; that part of the pre-
mises capable of being occupied for business, comprises a spacious
showy front shop, with store room behind, two capital workshops,
and ware room over; a smithery, and excellent cellaring in the
basement ; a yard behind, with separate entrance from Mill-row,
and a large brick-built shed. These premises, together with the five
following lots, are held in one lease for a term, of which 47 years,
wanting seven days, were unexpired at Midsummer-day last. at the
clear yearly rent of £45. The sum apportioned to be paid by the
purchaser of this lot is £22 10s. per annum.
This lot had only one bidder, who offered £2O ; the Master
waited a few minutes, but no second bidder appearing, it was
knocked down for £2O, to Joseph King, of Great Saffron-hill.
Lot 2 was a Ground Rent of £8 2s. 6d. per annum, amply
secured on two respectable residences, situate Nos. 5 and 6, Or-
chard-place, in front of Kingsiand-road, let on lease to Mr. Kebble,
fur 42 years from Michaelmas-day 1922; also the reversionary
interest in the premises for four years and three-quarters, wanting
even days, after tenant's lease expires, held for 47 years, wanting
seven days, from Midsummer last, as stated in Lot 1.
The first bidding was £2O, and, after some competition, it was
knocked down for £Bl.

Lot 3 was a Ground Rent of 424 per annum, secured upon 13
brick-built houses, Nos. 15 to 27 inclusive, in Mill-row, and
seven dwellings, with weavers' shops adjoining, let on lease to Mr.
Butler and others, for a term, of which 42 years were unexpired at
Midsummer-day last; also the reversionary interest in the premises
fcr five years, wanting seven days, after the tenant's lease expires,
held for 47 years, wanting seven days, from Midsummer-day last,
as stated in Lot 1.

Thb lot was knocked down for £lOO, to Charles Wm. Kendall,
ut Great Saffron•bill.

Lot 4 was a Ground Rent at £6 Ss. per annum, secured on
three brick-built houses, Nos. 6,7, 9, on the west-side of Harland.
square, let on lease to Mr. Nevill, for a term, of which 42 years
.ire unexpired ; also the reversionary interest in the premises for
five years, after the tenant's lease expires. Held for 47 year.,
wanting seven days, from Midsummer-day last, as stated in Lot 1.
This lot was knocked down for £10! to the only bidder wbo
offered himself—viz. Joseph King, of No. 4, Great Saffron-hill.
Lot .5 was a valuable Leasehold Estate, consisting of a powerful
smock windmill, with patent sails, most advantageously situate in
Mill-row, about 100 feet from the Regent's Canal, and near to the
bridge in the Kingsland-road. The mill has been erected within
a few years in the best manner, and at a considerable expense ; it
is brick-hulk, two stories high, and contains six floors, fitted up
with two pairs of stones (but is capable of driving six pairs,) sack
tackle, and all necessary gear. From the proximity of this mill to
the metropolis it must always command a considerable share of
business. Also a neat brick-built Dwelling-house adjoining the
mill, being No. 6, Windmill-square ; held as stated in lot 1, for an
unexpired term of 47 years, wanting seven days from Midsummer
last, at £45 per annum. The sum apportioned to be paid by the
purchaser for this lot is .£22 10s.
The Master observed in the course of the biddings, that this very
lot sold, two years ago, for £650. In spite, however, of this fact,
it was knocked down to a person names/ Rowley for £9O.
Lot 6 was an excellent brick-built Premises adjoining the pre-
ceding lot, consisting of a capital iron foundery, an extensive shed,
a cart-house, and 2 stall atablea,with lofts ; also two neat dwellings.
Nos. 4 and 5, Windmill-square. The iron foundery, and one of
the houses, No. 4, Windmill-square, are in the occupation of Mr.
Henley, at £27 per annum ; the other dwelling is let to a tenant,
hut the remainder of the premises are in hand, and possession will
be given on completing the purchase. Held, as stated in lot 1,
for an unexpired term of 47 years, wanting seven days, from Mid-
summer-day last.
This lot was put up at £lO, and though the Master bad re-
minded the bidders that the distressed parties of the suit would be
saddled with half a crown on each bidding, the biddings continued
to be the lowest sum allowed up to £lO5, at which sum the pro-
perty was knocked down to a Mr. Henley.
We understand that the biddings may be re-opened within eight
days after each Chancery sale ; but we have nor beard that bene-
volent individuals who commiserate the situation of the parties ever
attend to save the property that is generally sacrificed in the way we
have described.

As the sun in all its splendour was peeping over the
eastern hills, says a Yankee Paper, a newly-married man exclaimed
•' The glory of the world is rising !" His wife, who happened to
be getting up at that moment, taking the compliment to herself,
simpered out " What would you say, dear, if I bad my silk
gown on ?"
A meeting of the Magistrates and Council of Aber-
deen was held on Tuesday, when a letter, addressed to the Lord
Provost by Sir James Carnegie, Bart. of Southesk, was laid before
them, announcing his intention to the Council, when a dissolution
of Parliament takes place, to come forward as a candidate to re-
present the Aberdeen District of Burghs; when the Council una-
nimously resolved to support him with the vote and interests of
the city, at the next general election, if the same shall take place
during the period they shall remain in office.
Thursday the Provost, Magistrates, and Council of
the City of Edinburgh, conferred the freedom of the city on
DAVID WitAtx, Esq. R.A. when that distinguished Artist was
presented with the act of Council admitting him a burgess and
guild-brother of the City of Edinburgh, " in testimony of their
admiration of the union of exalted genius with high moral worth,
and of the estimation in which they hold the distinguished talents
t.y which he has done so much honour to the country of his birth,
and added another wreath to the glory of Scotland by his triumph-
ant success in the fine arts."

TILE MOOKS.—Most of the stranger sportsmen are
now returning to the plains of merry England, who, in spite of
Hoed and storm, are tolerably satisfied with the results of the cam-
paign. The Strathgarve party have exported about 900 brace of
birth, part of the spoil of a New weeks' exertion, and five or six
guns. Englishmen are famous for their love of field sports, and
one gentleman, a hale, vigorous old clergyman, used regularly to
bwouack under a hedge on the night preceding the 15th of August,
that he might be the tint in the field when day-light dawned.
Something similar must have been the animus of the three English
gentlemen who with their friends annually rusticate at Stiathgarve,
who travel from five to six hundred miles, and who pay about
354:1 per annum for the use of the moors, that would scarcely
yield fifty pounds if applied to the only other use Nature seems to
have intended them for, a pasturage for sheep.
Tuesday morning, about ten o'clock, two human beings
were discovered on a brick-kiln belonging to blr. St..pletun, of
No. 19 Wharf, Paddington (situated near the wooden bridge which
crosses the canal,) completely suffocated by the noxious vapours
arising therefrom. Their bodies presented the most appalling spec-
" • skin, on the least touch, peeling off, as it they hid un-
process of steaming! Their bodies were removed to
•se to await a Coroner's Inquest. What makes the
rcntatbable,'lathe circumstance of one of the ,uf•
brickmaker by trade,and long known about Padding,
:ppellation of " Breezy," and who, in consequence,
well aware of the treacherousness of the bed on
_oht repose; the other was an entire stranger," whose
clothes his poverty best t lee."
