COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 17.
THE PRINCESS OF WALES V. Tail SARI. OF LIVER-1
"POLAND COUNT 41.Nsi'ER.
The LORD CHAIKELLOE--GgIIL,VIDED, I have read
minutely the affidavit of Count liinster, in the atiair
of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales against
the two Executors of the late Duke of Brunswick. I
felt it my duty to take home that affidavit on
Saturday, and read it, that I might thereby be the
better ehabled to judge whether the delay asked for
by Sir Samuel Romilly could be granted. It is un-
necessary for me to say more than express my opi-
nion that it lays sufficient grounds for the answer not
being put in by the Defendants, till the second in-
strument be produced. With respect to the request
for further time, you make take what time you please,
with this understanding, that the second instrument
must be produced before the Defendants are called
to answer the Bill. I think the affidavit slums the
necessity of that deed being produced.
The SOLICITOR-GENSRAL—Then the Motion is
granted ?
Sit S. RouiLLY—By no means ; for the terms of
the motion are, that the defendants should be allowed
a fortnight to put in their answer after the instrument
was produced, and that the said deed was to be pro-
duced forthwith. I don't imagine this was what, his
Lordship intended.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—NO; What I meant was,
that a fortnight should be allowed to the defendants
to give them an opportunity of answering after the
instrument was produced, but I did not specify any
particular time for its production.
Sir A. Picoart—That amounts to the same thing.

Sir S. RoNtui.y—Certainly not. There is a great
dist:action.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—NO answer can be called
for till the instrument is seen by the defendants.

SUSSEX LENT ASSIZES.
CIVIL EIDE.---NVILLIABIS V. BEST.

This was an action of goods sold and delivered to
recover the price of a quantity of slates called Coign-
trues, which the defendant had purchased for the
purpose of roofing a charity school, at Coclfield. It
appealed that some of the cargo, of which the slates
in question formed a part, had been used in building
the new wings to the Prince Regent's Pavilion, at
Brighton.
The defendant paid 201. into Court, and the sum
in dispute was 12/. 13s.
It was contended on the part of the defendant,
that the plaintiff had not performed his contract, in-
amuch as he had sent Ladies instead of Countesses.
Several witnesses were examined on both sides.
The whole case went to the Jury, and a verdict
was found for the plaintiff, 121.78.

By the death of the venerable GEORGE Dniester', I
the 1 oronrable office of Secretary to the Order of the
Thistle becomes vacant. There is a salary attached
to the appointment of 300/. a-year, which he applied
to the purpose of private benevolence.
The Countess of MANSFIELD and family, have
ar-
rived in Seymour-place, Curzon-street.
We copied from another paper an account of the
Statue of Venus, at Lansdown House, and we find
the report was totally wrong. It is a modern statue,
considered as one of the finest works of CANOVA,
and belonged to LUCIEN BONAPARTE, from whom it
was purchased by Lord LANSDOWN. The statue of
which this is a duplicate, is one of the most celebrated
in Italy ; and, as such, was placed on the pedestal of
the Venus de Medicis, in the Great Gallery of Ho-
ranee, during the time the latter statue was at Path.
It is now placed in the apartment of the GRAND
DUKE'S Palace, the Palazzo Pith. Lot d ssno N'S
statue is considered as fully equal, if not superior, to
the original.
THE ROMAN VILLA IN OXFORDSHIRE.—ExtraeI if
a Letter A few days ago, I made an interesting
excursion to the Roman Villa discovered near Stones-
field, eleven miles from Oxford. It was first pointed
out in 1816, by the Rev. Mr. BROWN, the Vicar of
that parish. By the assistance of that Gentleman
and et the Duke of MAftersonouctr.on whose estate
the Villa stands, extensive discoveries have been made.
The building incloses about three acres of land ; the
peristyle, on every side of the quadrangle, is very
evident, as are the divisions of forty-seven rooms.
The pavements are tesselated, and in good condition.
One of them in a large room is perfect. The tessera
are so exactly laid together, so beautifully varied,
and the pattern so correct and elegant, that the best
floor-cloth is not painted with more accuracy or
beauty. The pattern is one which frequently appears
on our modern floor cloths. The baths are com-
pletely excavated, and the hypocausts and Hues, by
which they warmed the rooms, in the manner we
have adopted for hot-houses, are very apparent.—
The largest rooms seem to be about 30 by 25—one is
exactly 28 by 24 ; a proportion, in which the length'
exceeds the width much less than in modern rooms.
Nothing has yet been found to fix the precise date of
the villa ; the coins collected are those of C0:481.4%31-
litre the Guyer, who was CAISA it in 306, and Au.l
GUSTUS from 308 to 337. The Duke of MARLS°.
ROLGH chews a due regard to these valuable remains
of antiquity. At present, the remains of pillars and
the tesselated pavements are covered with mould, to
protect them from frosts, whicn are particularly in-
jurious to the latter by loosening the tessera."
According to the latest accounts from Greenland,
a severe shock of an earthquake was felt there fir the
night of the 22d of November, 1817, which however
caused no damage. Hekla was at the time quiet.
Within these few days the following accidents have
happened in the neighbourhood of Glasgow :—A
woman and her son were found dead near Strath-
bungo, on the Pcllokshaws road—another woman on
the Kirkintilloch road—and a carter near the Cow-
caddens. These deaths, no dcubt, have been occa-
sioned by the inclemency of the weather, which has
been uncommonly severe of late.
CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH 18.—Our
supply of Wheat this morning was very small, not
having any arrivals since Monday, and prices remain
the same as on that day. Tine Barley, being small,
fully maintained Monday's prices ; but the ordinary
qualities go off slowly, and are rather cheaper. Oats
are is. per quarter lower, having a large arrival of
that Grain, and the consumers are holding off, in ex-
pectation of a supply from abroad, as soon as the
I wind becomes favourable.
