which is of Bath stone, is in front of one side of the
chancel, and on the other is the reading-desk, open en-
tirely in front, and supported on arches and turned
shafts. The church will be lighted by brass gas standards,
of very beautiful design, and the essentials of warming and
ventilation have been duly attended to. The tower is pierced
on three sides for a clock ; and in the grounds near the
tower doorway is a litch-gate, a piece of antiquity which
even is yet found to have its uses.
The builders are Messrs. Arthur and George Holme. Mr.
Arthur Holme is the architect, and the works have been
executed under the superintendence of Mr. Morgan. • The
bishop has granted a license for the performance of divine

A PASSENGEU who was on board the steamer Neptune,
recently wrecked on the voyage from St. Petersburg to

injuries. The defendant was sentenced to six months'
unpzisonment, and held in his own recognizance to keep
the peace for six Months after that period.

April the Marco Polo passed and spoke the ship John

out; on the 20th nit. passed and spoke the ship Eagle,
from Rio Janeiro, bound here ; and a few days after, the
Erasmus, from London, likewise for this port. The Marco
Polo has no cargo on board, but about £200,000 in specie
for the banks, and £50,000 for private hands. We might

Tla. NEW Music HALL, built on the site of the old

forms the shop of Messrs. Bradley Brothers, uphou_
and eiteiAs from Bold-street to the other extremi
the tuning, displaying in Concert-street six
windows of plate glass, about thirteen feet high, with
stone facings running up the side of each window, and
terminating above in large key stones of boldly-sculptured
heads, of ay: allegorical character. The hall, which is of
sufficient sine to seat 750 persons, presents a very striking
and beauti fie appearance. A surbase of some three or
four feet in height, mottled like red Scotch granite,

springs from the front of the orchestra and runs around
the room. whilst it gives to the whole a substantial
effect, from its deep dark colour contrasts well with the
',lighter style of ornamentation everywhere else profusely

risible, arid the prevailing colours of-which are white an'd
gold. The large4Nuare windows on the south side, which
formerly looked ou to the roofs, are being filled in with
stained glass, and each will be illustrated with figures,
emblematical of music, trade, commerce, and industry, 4:c.
The,atling is of most tasteful design. The panels, the
whole of the ornaments in which are left white, are
variously coloured, the prevailing tints being faint blue,
Purple, and buff. The orchestra is spanned by a large
arch, rielny decorated, and having for its key-stone the
head of Apollo, surincanted by elaborate ornaments.
The hail, it is supposed, be completed in a fortnight,
but there wfil be no formal opening till April. The cost
of the re-building has been about £3,200, and the entire
cost, inclusiveof the original. purchase, £lO,OOO.
EGETLTOW EARL BnowvLow.—ln this case, which
has been for years before the courts, the judges attended
in the House of Lords on Friday to give their opinions on
the following questions submitted to them for their con-
sideration Orr the decease ,of Lord Alford, did the
appellant, his eldest son, become entitled to any and what
estate in remainder, or immediately expectant, on the term
of 99 years ? 2. If Le did, was .such estate liable to be
defeated by any and what events, And might it or might it
not be revived ag,ain in any and what events ? 3. On the
decease of Lord Alford, his brother, Charles Henry

i.,gerton, the respondent, become entitled .to any anci7v.cajt
estate in remoinder;or, immediately expectant, on the term
of years ? 4. If he did, was such estate liable to be

-ivea again by any and what means ? 5. Were
all or any of the several provisoes in the will void ? 6.
Were the provisoes or any of them conditions precedent in
the events that had happened ? 7. In the events that lied
happened, had the jointure of Lady Maria Arnie Egerton
charged on the estates ceased ? Mr. Justice Crompton
expressed his opinion that judgment should be in favoni- of
the appelbuit on all the questions submitted to them.—Mr.
Baron Alderson concurred, and thought that the manifest
intention of the testator was to give the estate to Earl
Brownlow on his obtaining the title of the Duke or

Marquess of Bridgewater, after the death of Lord Alford ;
and that condition not having been complied with, the
estates went to the Egerton family.—The Lord Chief
Baron cited many instances to show that the provisions of
the will were void, and gave his decision in favour of the
respondent.—Mr. Justice Coleridge was of the same
opinion as the Chief Rgron.—Mr. Justice Williams and
Mr. Justice Talfourd agreed with Mr. Justice Crompton.—
Mr.
Baron Platt agreed with the Chief Baron.—Mr.
Justice Cresswell, Mr. Baron Parke, and Justices Wight-
man and Erle agreed with the majority of the judges, and
their lordships took time to consider judgment.
