LAW INTELLIGENCE.

-.-
It. is. a fact stated by Lord John Russell, in his evidence
before the Select Committee on Official Salaries, but not
generally known in the profession, that, after his appoint-
ment as Chancellor, Lord Cottenham offered Sir Wm.
Follett a puisne judgeship, which that learned gentleman
declined.

LEGAL PROMOTIONS.-Mr. Serjeant Allen, of the
Oxford Circuit, and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, of the Northern
Circuit, have received a patent of precedence. Mr.
Miller, of the Midland Circuit, will receive the coif. The
vacancy occasioned! by the elevation of Mr. Martin, and
the retirement from circuit practice of Mr. Whitehurst,
have led to several applications to the Lord Chancellor
for silk.

In the Common Pleas, on Monday, Mr. Keating ob-
tained a rule to shew cause why there should not be a new
trial in the notorious case of ":Bainbrigge v. Bainbrigge,"
on the ground that the verdict setting aside the will was
against evidence. It will be remembered that the testa-
tor was a very immoral and eccentric man, whose daugh-
ter was as bad, and a granddaughter, to whom the pro-
perty was left, brought up in a state of gross ignorance
and wickedness. On the trial his eccentricities were held
by the jury to be the evidences of insanity, conse-
quently, 9uently, that the testator was incapable of making a
in which case the property would go to old man's
phews, his daughter and granddaughter being illegitimate.ti ne-
phews,

" SAINT PATRICK'S POT."—This ancient relic was dug
for twenty-one years ago, in the bog between Ballymena
and Ballymonap, in the county of Antrim, Ireland, by
the late John M'Veigh. feather-merchant, Belfast, and
found forty feet below the surface. Mr. M'Veigli kept it
very secret. and refused to exhibit it. The owner bought
it from M'lreigh-lane, h's son, namely, John M'Veigh, feather-
purifier, Church-lane,
Belfast. Tradition states that
young Patrick was sold by 117 s master to the Romans for
the money vase. Ho having attempted to boil it in vain,
and hearing flirt Pat had returned to Ireland, an apostle
of Christ, he felt convinced that the devil was in the pot;
it was, therefore, consigned to the moving bog of Antrim,
,whence. it was recovered as stated. The vase is on' view
at Mr. Joseph Mayer's shop, Lord. street, Liverpool,
,where antiquarians and the curious inaj,
haveDn opportu
;nil „of inspecting it .for a few..675*

CHURCH OF ENGLAND INSTITUTION.—Upon reference
to our advertising columns, it will be perceived that the
Rev. Wm. Pollock delivers the second of the series of
lectures in connection with the above institution, at the
Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, on Thursday evening
next. The well known eloquence of the lecturer, and the
great importance of the subject, in connection with the
recent daring assumptions of the Church of Rome, will,
we are certain, maintain the great interest and attract as
large an audience as the first lecture of the course.
A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD.—There has just left
the Mersey a ship called the Hannah, under peculiar cir-.
cumstances. The Hannah is a fine frigate-looking vessel,
of 480 tons burthen, which has been purchased by a Man-
chester gentleman, named Gardner, who has had her
fitted up in a first-rate style for the accommodation of
himself and family, as well as several friends. The be-
tween decks hare also been made exceedingly comfortable
for the reception of a posse of servants. It is said that
Mr. Gardner is a gentleman of fortune, and intends, for
the romance of the adventure, to sail round the world ;
but if this were true, he would hardly take his family with
him, and expose them to all the disagrernens of such a
weary voyage. The probability is, we believe, that he
means to settle in Australia ; and the vessel has, in fact,
cleared out for Van Dieman's Lund. Mr. Gardner
takes out with him, free, fifteen distressed needlewomen
of London.

Oa Wednesday, whilst Mr. Johnson was pouring some
naptha into a lamp, in the Roman Catholic School-room,
at Seacombe, behind the Abbottsford Hotel, the inflam-
mable liquid ran over, and coming in contact with a
lighted candle, held by a boy ten years of age, named
Crassie, it ignited, and an instantaneous report, like that
of a cannon, took place, followed by a tremendous crash,
occasioned by the falling of tho partition wall, about 12
feet long and 9 feet high, which was forced with such
violence against the opposite side of the lobby that several
deep indentations were made in the plaster work. Seve-
ral persons who were in the reading-room above, rushed
to the window and made their exit, when they discovered
the boy, Crassie, enveloped in flames, which they suc-
ceeded in extinguishing, though the poor little fellow died
next day. Mr. Johnson, and several others, were also
found to be seriously burnt; one of the boys so much so,
that his recovery is doubtful. The chairs and tables in the
school-room were found to be in flames, but by the ex-
ertions of the parties who thus opportunely came to Mr.
Johnson's assistance, they were extinguished.
THE WIZARD OF THE NORTH—PROFESSOR ANDER-
SON—AT THE THEATRE-ROYAL.—This unrivalled pro-
fessor of an art which, in any other than the nineteenth
century, would have been termed " magic," has been
giving every evening during the week his Royal Balmoral
entertainment, as presented at Balmoral Castle to the
Queen and the Royal party. The house has been lite-
rally crammed every evening by delighted and wondering
audiences. On Saturday there was a day performance ;
and it is announced that so judicious a course will be
pursued on other occasions, in order to enable young
people and schools to attend. The tricks of Professor
Anderson are very cleverly performed, leaving most of
those of his competitors in the art at a great distance
behind. To not one of them could any portion of the
audience discover the clue. The whole were clean and
artistic, and the assistance of confederates could not be
detected by the closest observer, however incredible and
indeed impossible their execution appeared without such
aid. The " inexhaustible bottle" trick—the "potpourri
of handkerchiefs"—and the " electric phenomenon," in
which six watches, placed in a box upon a man's head,
are made, at the firing of a pistol, to pass through him,
and, by some incomprehensible means, are hung on a
rail of the chair on which he sits—drew down immense
applause.
DR. FISHER'S LECTURES AT THE WINDSOR SCHOOLS.
—On Friday last Dr. Fisher, the talented principal of
Great George-street Academy, delivered a popular lecture
on astronomy, at the request of the Rev. F. Parry, for
the benefit of St. Clement's Schools. This learned and
eloquent gentleman never fails to give the utmost satis-
faction. The room was filled with a highly-respectable
audience. There were present several families from
Aighurth, Wavertree, Cheshire, and other parts of the
neighbourhood. During the whole of the lecture a deep
interest was manifested by all present. Dr. Fisher de-
serves the best thanks of the public, not merely for the
interesting and invaluable instruction conveyed in his
admirable lectures, but for his timely aid, so frequently
and cheerfully bestowed in behalf of various religious and
charitable institutions. At the close of the exhibition,
the Rev. F. Parry returned his sincere thanks to the
company present; also to the Rev. H. Hampton, for the
free use of the room ; and then more especially to Dr.
Fisher for his great kindness in acceding a second time
to come forward to their assistance. They had all enjoyed,
he said, a most delightful treat, and it would be impos-
sible for him ever to forget or repay Dr. Fisher for his
benevolent exertions on the present, as well as on a for-
mer, occasion. The lecturer was heartily cheered.

APPEAL BY A PUBLICAN.—At the Kirkdale Sessions,
an appeal was heard against a conviction of Mr. Rushton
for permitting drunkenness. The appellant was Mr.
David Shaw, a licensed victualler in Park-lane. Messrs.
Monk and Pollock, instructed by Mr. Kent, solicitor,
appeared for the appellant; and Mr. Blair, instructed by
Mr. Wybergh, clerk to the magistrates, appeared for the
respondents. It appeared that, on the night of the 16th
of September last, two police officers, of the name of
Heaton and 'Williams, hearing a noise in Mr. Shaw's
house, and seeing a crowd assembled round the door,
went into the house, and found a number of men there,
several of them drunk, and two men stripped and fighting.
Upon seeing the officers, the men ceased fighting, and
order was restored, upon which the policemen went away.
In about a quarter of an hour afterwards the fight was
renewed ; the officers again went into the house, and laid
an information against the landlord, who was not in the
house at the time, for permitting drunkenness, against
the tenor of his license. This was the respondent's case.
Mr. Monk then commented upon the evidence, and
pointed out some slight discrepancies in the officers' evi-
dence, and then proceeded to call a great number of wit-
nesses for the appellant, all of whom concurred in stating
that the disturbance had been occasioned by a drunken
man coming into the house and challenging another of
the company to fight; that he had been refused drink,
and that, as soon as he became disorderly, the police had
been sent for ; that none of the other persons were drunk,
or, if there were any, they had not had drink at Mr.
Shaw's. Mr. Blair replied ; and the magistrates, after
some deliberation, decided that the balance of testimony
was in favour of the aprellant, and that the conviction
must be quashed. The case occupied the whole of the
day.
CELEBRATION OF THE RETURN OF MR. SAMUEL
HOLME AND MR. MATTHEW GREGSON FOR THE 'FOX"
TETH WAnns.—On Wednesday evening. Mr. Samuel
Holme and Mr. Gregson, the new Councillors for the
North and South Toxteth Wards, entertained their friends
and more immediate supporters at a splendid dinner in
the Great George-street Assembly-rooms. About ninety
gentlemen sat down, and a more influential assemblage of
the kind has seldom been witnessed in Liverpool. The
repast was served up, with great taste and elegance, by
Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, and the wines, too,
which were abundant, were of the rarest vintages. The
room was gaily decorated with the British ensign and
other flags, and the pleasures of the evening were consi-
derably enhanced by the vocal efforts of a chosen choir of
glee singers, under the direction of Mr. George Holden.
Each toast was thus accompanied with appropriate musical
honours, and the company yielded a most effective
chorus. Samuel Holme, Esq., occupied the chair, sup-
ported on his right by Matthew Gregson, Esq., the mem-
ber for North Toxteth, and on his right by R. L. Jones.
The following gentlemen officiated as vice-chairmen :
Messrs. T. Robinson, C. Batten, 11. Steele, and H. Hal-
head ; and amongst the other gentlemen present we
observed,—Mr. James Holme, Aldermen T. Dover, J.
Cooper, and J. Parker, Messrs. W. Fisher, Jun., W. J.
Horsfall, T. Lloyd, T. Wagstaff, J. B. Lloyd, W. 11.
Anthony, E. W. Ewing, A. Holme, T. Smith, James
M‘Murdo, Thomas Vernon, John Vernon, T. Robinson,
J. W. M'Cormick, Robert Clarke, H. Jordan, Alpass,
Thomas Harrison, J. Harrison, &c. The usual loyal
toasts were given from the chair, and responded to with
cordial enthusiasm. Mr. Steele then proposed the health
of the May or and Corporation, coupling with the toast
the names of Aldermen Cooper, Dover, and Parker; and
Mr. J. B. Lloyd. In doing so he trusted that in future
there would be greater harmony betwee.i the corporate
and dock estates, which were, so far as the public interest
was concerned, Siamese twins (applause). Alderman
Cooper, in replying, expressed gratitude to the electors of
North and South Toxteth Wards for sending two such
men into the Council (loud applause). He hoped the
day was not distant when one of their members would
take the civic chair (uprorious applause, and a cry of "On
Saturday next"). Mr. J. B. Lloyd and Mr. Alderman
Parker also replied. The latter gentleman expressed a
high opinion of Mr. Holme. It was true, he said, that
on public matters he had sometimes differed with him ;
he would not give a farthing for a friend with whom he
could not occasionally differ (laughter and loud applause).
Mr. Parker, in the course of his address, mentioned the
names of Mr.[Gregson and Mr. Holme, and this was the
signal for a boisterous outburst of cheers. Mr. Holme,
Mr. Batten, and several other gentlemen addressed the
intelligent guests at great length.
