DURHAM ASSIZES.-THURSDAY.

TOPHAM AND WIFE V. M`GREGOR AND WIFE.

Mr. Knowles, Mr. Wortley, and Mr. Addison, ap-
peared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, Mr.
Packley, and Mr. Crompton for the defendants.
This was what is called a " great will cause," issuing by
writ out of the Court of Chancery, to try the fact whether
the will of the late Richard Wrightson, Esq., of Cocker-
ton, in the county of Durham, made on the 29th Decem-
ber, 1839, was, or was not, a valid and legal instrument.
The wiil was drawn out by Mr. Francis Mewburn, of
Darlington, solicitor, who was the legal adviser of the
testator. He was under examination for nearly six hours ;
and his account of the transaction was, in substance, that
having gone to Cockerton to examine a large number of
deeds and papers, which had come to the hands of the
testator, as executor, residuary devisee, and residuary
legatee, under the will of the late Mrs. Garth, of Cock-
erton, who died on the Ist of December in the same year,
the testator, after the investigation was concluded, ex-
pressed a wish to make his own will. Mr. Mewburn re-
commended the testator to call at his office, and have the
will made in a careful form ; believing that as Mr.
Wrightson bad lately come into the possession of a large
property, the document would contain numerous limita-
tions, &c. Ttie testator, however, at once said, that
he intended to leave everything to his wife; and
Mt. Mewburn finally agreed to make out a short will to
that effect, which, he said, was signed by Mr. Wrightson,
in the presence of Mrs. Wrightson, himself, and George
Hind, the steward, and Jane Finney, (who subsequently
became Mrs. Hind,) a servant in the house, (both of
whom were in the service of Mrs. Garth, and received,
under her will, legacies of £lOOO each.) Its validity is
disputed in this issue; and, likewise, the competency of
the testator to make it. Mr. Mewburn proved the mak-
ing of the will as above ; declaring, on his oath, that every
thing was done in a legal and regular form. Twelve other
witnesses were examined to shew that the testator was
quite capable of transacting ordinary business before,
about, and after the will was made; and it was further
proved, by the production of numerous letters, that the
defendant was not only corresponding at and near this
time, with. several parties on matters of business, but that
the defendants themselves (of whom the wife is sister to
the testator) were in pretty frequent communciation with
him on certain legal proceedings in Scotland interesting
to all the parties. The proceedings were then adjourned
till the following day, the case for the plaintiffs being
then unclosed.

During the present week inereased firmness has been mani-
fested by holders of English Wheat, and on the few sales made
a trifling advance was obtained. Malting Barley a dull sale,
and secondary qualities rather lower. Oats have barely sus-
tained last week's currency. For Beans some improvement IS
demanded.

THE large and extensive PREMISES running from
Cheapside to Hatton-garden, in Liverpool, the prin-
cipal part now in work as a Brewery by Messrs. E. and
R. E. Harvey.
The Property contains upwards of 3,700 square yards •,
is complete for the purpose of a Brewer, and has an old
and valuable connexion attached to it. Several PUB LIC-
HOUSES may also be purchased at the pleasure of the
buyer of the Brewery.
It is also a most desirable investment as comprising so
large a piece of Freehold Land in the centre of the Town,
suitable for any great works, and which could not now be
obtained except at an enormous cost.
Half of the purchase-money will be allowed to remain
on mortgage at £4 per cent.
For Plans and particulars, and to view the property,
apply to R. E. HARVEY, Esq., on the Premises, between
the hours of 10 and 21 to Mr. STEWART,Lawton-street,

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 24.

Except on Colonial Rye, raised to 2s. per qr., there is no
change in any of the duties this week.
The very large supply of Wheat up to Tuesday's market has
been further increased by subsequent arrivals from the Baltic,
Mediterranean, and Black Sea. beyond which, and 500 qrs.
Barley, havo no Foreign imports to notice, while those Coast-
wise and from Ireland continue to be extreme!), tight.

Having no symptoms of rain, and the weather being now much
warmer than heretofore, the pastures are sti 1 exceedingly bare,
and the Haygrass and spring Corn upon all dry soils in this
circle of the c ,untry, are evidently sintering from the drought,
a continuance of which can hardly fail to create some advance
in prices ere long between Tuesday last and to-day, however,
no revival in the demand, nor improvement in the value of any
article of the Corn trade appeared to occur, except in Beans, 4 0
qrs. of Egyptian, in bond, having changed hands at 21 s. per
480Ibs. _ _

In the absence of country millers at this day's market, and
our local dealers remaining almo t wholly on the reserve, the
trade of all descriptions of English, Irish and Foreign free
Wheats we• c excessively dull; seeing:no inducement, however,
to press business on lower terms, importers continued to re-
quire the current rates of Tuesday, which in the few limited
sales effected were scarcely sustained. English and Irish Flour,
as well as duty paid States and Canadian, was equally difficult
to move at late prices.
Barley and Pease, upon a limited sa`e, remained unaltered ;
and Malt being in steady demand, retained its former value.
British and European Beans were in tolerable request at an ad-
vance of 6d, and Egyptian free 2s per quarter dearer.
Oats, notwi hstanding the want of rain, were not so readily
disposed of as the occasion appeared to justify, and m(rely sup-
ported our last quotations; whilst Oatmeal in consequence,
commanded somewhat more attention, at an improvement of
fully 3d per 2401 b.
Of States Flour in bond, 1500 ba-rels have been sold at 21s
6d; but of Wheat, either under lock or afloat, no transactions
are reported to day,

AIGBUR'CH-HALL ESTATE.

PUBLIC attention is invited to the Unsold Portions of
the above Estate, which are now offering by PRIVATE
TREATY, on very reasonable terms. This Property lies
on the banks of the River Mersey, four miles south of Li-
verpool, in a neighbourhood long esteemed tor its great
respectability, rich culture, and lovely views, which latter
comprise the broad waters of the Mersey, the woody
shores of. Cheshire, and the mountains of Wales. The
rapid extension of Liverpeol in all directions, but more
particularly in this, and the great increase of Country
Residences within a ride of Town, must soon leave little
choice for those who wish for suburban retirement ; there-
fore Speculators, Builders, &c., would doubtless find it
to their advantage to invest in this Property the Brick
Clay alone of which would realize an ample return, as a
sufficient fall will admit of any reasonable depth of exca-
tion without injuring the Land.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 24.

lExcept on Colonial Rye, raised to 2s. per qr., there is no
change in any of the duties this week.
of Wheat up to Tuesday's market has
been further increased by subsequent arrivani-ero,--
Mediterranean, and Black Sea, beyond which, and soo qrs.
Barley, we have no Foreign imports to notice, while those Coast
wise and from Ireland continue to be extremely light.
Having no symptoms of rain, and the weather being now much
warmer than heretofore, the pastures are sti I exceedingly bare,
and the Haygrass and spring Corn upon all dry soils in this
circle of the c entry, are evidently suffering from the drought.
a continuance of which can hardly fail to create borne P dvance
in prices ere long : between Tuesday last and to-day, however,
no revival in the demand, nor improvement in the value of any
article of the Corn trade appeared to occur, except in Beans, 4 0
qrs. of Egyptian, in bond, having changed hands at 21s. per
4Solbs.
In the absence of country millers at this day's market, and
our local dealers remaining almo t wholly on the reserve, the
trade of all descriptions of English, Irish and Foreign free
Wheats wei c excessively dull; seeing:no inducement, however,
to press business on lower terms, importers continued to re-
quire the current rates of Tuesday, which in the few limited
sales effected were scarcely sustained. English and Irish Flour,
as well as duty paid States and Canadian, was equally difficult
to move at late prices.
Barley and Pease, upon a limited sa'e, remained unaltered;
and Malt. being in steady demand, retained its former value.
British and European Beans were in tolerable request at an ad-
vance of 6d. and Egyptian free 2s per quarter dearer.
Oats, notwi hstanding the want of rain, were not so readily
disposed of as the occasion appeared to justify, and mt.rely sup-
ported our last quotations ; whilst Oatmeal in consequence,
commanded somewhat more attention, at an improvement of
fully 3d p:r 2401 b.
Of States Flour in bond, 1500 ba- rels have been sold at 21s
6d; but of Wheat, either under lock or afloat, no transactions
are reported to day.

PICTURE AND GLASS FRAME MANUFACTORY,
PAPIER MACHE WAREROOMS,
52, BOLD-STREET. _

ROBERT J. lagi-;spectit;ll3,informs the Public
that he has purchased from Mr. C. F. BIELEFELD
the above Business, with the SOLE RIGHT of SALE
of his Improved PAPIER MACHE for Liverpool and
the whole of Lancashire, from the let instant ; and,
as he purposes Manufacturing on the Premises, is now ex-
tending the STOCK of ENRICHMENTS, &c., so as to
enable him to execute all orders he may be favoured with
IN THE MOST PROMPT AND SUPERIOR MANNER.
The very beautiful, novel, and elaborate designs pro-
duced in Papier Mache surpasses any that have ever been
before manufactured ; its extraordinary toughness, dura-
bility, and lightness render it applicable to works of the
highebt relief, equalling many of the finest productions of
the celebrated carvers in wood of the seventeenth century.
Many Specimens are to be seen, fac-similes of fine old
OAK FRAMES, which, being similar in colour to the
original, cannot be detected by the most experienced eye.
ROBERT J. KEYS invites the attention of all who are
desirous of encouraging the Arts in works of British
manufacture, and begs their attention to the extensive
STOCK of PICTURE, GLASS, and MINIATURE
FRAMES, WINDOW CORNICES, SCREENS, &c.,
now on view at his Warerooms.
The PATENT QUAQUAVERSAL TOILET GLASS
STAND, now so much approved of, may be had in great
variety, either in solid Mahogany or richly ornamented
with Papier Mache.
A miniature illustrated tariff of the PICTURE FRAMES
may be procured on application at the Premises, or will
be forwarded FREE, on the receipt of six Post-office
Stamps.___

_
GENTLEMEN BUILDING, ARCHITECTS,
DECORATORS, &c. &e.,
are respectfully informed that the PAPIER MACHE
WAREROOMS, 52, BOLD-STREET, are now fully
Stocked with every Pattern that has beets produced at the
Works in London. The arrangements on and after the
Ist of May will enable the Proprietor to supply the vari-
ous articles manufactured on the same terms as if ordered
from London, with the advantage of being able to
execute all orders with greater facility.
The superiority of the Papier Machd for architectural
purposes, is now so well known and appreciated, that it
would be superfluous here to dwell on its merits. Thefact that many of the finest buildings in Louder! .nt
throughout the country, have been decorated wan ur
proves that its advantages are acknowledged,

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHAMBERLAIN V. THE CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD
RAILWAY COMPANY.—His Honour, on Wednesday men-
tioned this case, and intimated to the counsel engaged in
it, that unless the parties desired to have the question of
the right of the company to open the proposed railroad to
Monk's Ferry alone tried at law, that their legal position
might be immediately ascertained, and the defendants, for
that purpose. would consent to admit that they had
opened the railroad complained of, the only course the
court could take would be to make no order on the mo-
tion. but to reserve the costs, and finally dispose of the
question at the hearing. Mr. bolt, for the defendants,
said they would consider his honour's suggestion.
GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—AII adjourned meeting
of this company was held in the Cotton Sales-room, in
this town, 00 Tuesday last, for the purpose of creating
new shares. The chair was occupied by John Moss,
Esq., and the meeting was most numerously attended.
I.,he chairman stated that, in consequence of the opposi-
tioli offered by Lord Brougham, the bill, in respect of
which the shares were to be created, had not yet received
the royal assent; but it was expected that in the course
of a short time the assent would be given, and matters
finally arranged. A general adjournment was then ordered
to take place. Mr. Hardman Earle, one of the directors,
entered into a long statement of the disagreements be-
tween the Grand Junction and the London and Birming-
ham Companies, the main ground of difference being,
that, after a pledge from the chairman of the London and
Birmingham Company that they were not taking shares
in the railway from Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton, they
either advertised, or allowed others to advertise for them,
a guarantee to the subscribers in the railway between
Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton of 4 per cent. for their
money. He contended, that this latter would, to all in-
tents and purposes, be a competing line with the Grand
Junction, as it would be carried from Wolverhampton to
Birmingham in the south, and from Shrewsbury to Ches-
ter in the opposite direction ; and, as the Chester and
Birkenhead Line belonged to the London and Birming-
ham Company already, it would give a line of railway to
Liverpool independent of the Grand Junction. After a
long discussion on the subject, a resolution was passed
to the effect that the directors of the London and Bir-
mingham Company should be requested to withdraw from
the projected line; and that, if necessary, the directors of
the Grand Junction Company should publish the corre-
spondence which had taken place between the two com-
panies. Another resolution was also adopted, empower-
ing the directors of the Grand Junction Company, in case
the London and Birmingham directors did not withdraw,
to take such steps as they might deem expedient for the
protection of the interests of the proprietors generally.
The discussion was animated, principally as to whether
the correspondence should be published. The chairman
expressed himself anxious for its publication.
