Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLA RENCE
and Cameatoot, the Princesses MART and AME-
LIA, and suite, left Weymouth on Friday last, in
their travelling carriages, for Windsor. The
Royal Party slept the first night at Gen. GARTIO'S,
at Pidiletown ; the second at WoooysT's Inn;
the third at Salisbury ; and were to proceed from
thence by short and easy stages. Her Royal High.
n.,s Princess Astet.ta, we are concerned to say,
is still in a very weak state.
The Deputies from the Tyrol pakl a visit yester-
Cay to the Bank and the India House. They
were received with the greatest politeness by the
Chairman and Directors of those two great Cum-
panics. When they entered the .119tunda and
Transfer Otlices of the Bank, the national interest
in the fate of the brave people' they represent
wanted itself by repeated acclamations and
cheering,. Pruner persons were appointed at
both places to skew them the interior of the respec-
tive building., and they returned much gratified by
attentions they received.

Of the Proprietors of this Dew House,

To thee I call, but with no friendly voice,
That I may tell thee how I heir thy groans.,

Warring in vain against the voice unanimous.
Alt wherefore ? you desery'd ni, sack return
From rue, whom you uprais'd front nothing
Into affluence; nor were your tenns, so hard,

Who would not then have yielded to your wish ? •
Yet all your kindness prov'd but ill louse,
And wrought ingratitude. so big!! uplifted

COURT OF CIIANC:ERY.
Tuesday. , Nov. 7.
. the rtilegitis of Lansdowne is possessed, as te.
want in coalman, of the estate of Beau wood, iii
•=tshire; on which there are.most extensive and
noble woods, to tlse es4pkt, gs has been gupeused,
of more than a million of Ord. Suate time ago,
at the.instance of the trustee of the heirs in re-
mainder, who complained that waste. had been
'comoi.ittell by cutting down dies.: woods to the
detriment.of their interests, the Court was pleased
to issue an injunction prohibiting the Marquis to
'cut down iiity,trotis, till the qiiestion reloaded on
the original bill had been set at rest.
Sir A:Ptoorr new applied on behalf of the
Marquis of Lansdowne for the removal of this in.
junction. Ile proilue4 a variety of affidavits from
the Surveyors of Woodlands, the object of which
was to show, that though the Marquis, in the
space of font. yeire,,cut dime timber to the value
of more than 4Q,0001. yet 'so
,extensive were the
plantations, that this. had only thinned them, and
was necessary for the growth of the younger trees.
It was also contended that the urnamentol parts
of these woode in the park, surrounding the man-
siott, had not received attir deterioration, and, that
' nothing had been cut down which could be consi-
dered as urnatneutal to the grounds.
_ Me. ALEXSNDER was heard at some length on
the same side, and the further heariug.was post.

AGA,III) *SD If V. GIBSON Ant) ANoTtiER.
Mr. CLARK said, that this was an action fur the
purpose of recovering the sum of 2361. being the
price, as the Plaintiffs contended, of a quantity
of lee n sold and delivered by them to the Defend-
ants, who contended that the pieces of which it
Hate tompoied, were not of the sir,: which the
Plaintiffs stated them to be, and that the amount
iif the demand was, in reality, no more than 2191.
which sum the Defendants offered to pay, but
which the Plaintiffs refused to take, and imme.
diately arrested the Defendants, and this cause
came on to be tried at Warwick, at the last as.
sines. 'fhere was no question whatever upon the
amount; for now the narties were agreed upon.i
that matter. But he contended that the aetien
was breeght too soon, it being before the time
for whhh tredit was given bad expired, and that
therefore, the Plaintiffs ought to hare been non.
suited; but the learned Judge held that the offer
to pay the sun* of 2191. was a waver of the dine
of credit ; and so a verdict paised for the
Plaintiff. Now this, Mr. Clarke submitted, was a
mis-divection of the learned Judge, and, there.
fore, he moved, that this verdict should be set
aside, and a new trial had, on the ground that'
as the Plapitiff had not. accepted the Defendants"
offer, the parties reverted to their oeiglnal rights,
by which the l)efeudaots were emitted to the
agred upon credit.

BROWN Di WILLZR.
Mr. Serjeant Pecewet.t. moved for a rule to
chew cause why the verdict in this cause should
not be set aside, and a tionsuit entered, or a new
trial granted.
This was an. action for money had and received
by the D.:fend:int for the Plaintiff's tele. The
sum was 100 guineas, being the amount of a stake
whit h had heeti deposited by the Plaintiff in part,
and by a person of the name of Gutridge is part,
that is to say, fifty gulucas each, of which 100
guineas the defendant was the stake-holder, being
the amount of a bet made between Mr. Brown and
Mr. Gutridge, upon the following question—
" Whether or not Gutridge had kept his word
with Mr. Whitbread, in an award made by Mr.
Whitbread upon the subject of an Inclosure Bill
which had been submitted to the House of Com.
moos ?"
It was contended by the Learned Serjeant, that
although Mr. Whitbread bad made his award
with a view to settle all differences between the
contending parties, yet that it was not an award
confined to the subject which was referred to
him as an arbitrator ; that the award was, there-
fore, void; and that the promise to abide by his
nwatd by Gutridge was also void. Mr. Whit.
bread had bruugbt a paper with him, without dis-
closing its contents, when he met these parties,
end had asked them, " will you abide by my
awartV" and they said "yes ;" but hen Gutridge
found that the award related to matters which
were not submitted to the arbitratorn he declined
to obey it, and (he wager was, whether Gutridge
had kept his word or promise with Mr.-Whit-
bread ? The Learned Serjeant contended, that
he was not bound to do so, if the award was ille-
gal, which be maintained this to be; and of this
opinion he alleged Sir James Mansfield, (before
whom the cause was tried) to be also, as would
appear by. his report ;.hut,theJury found fur the
Plaintiff. •
Tb. Court ioolisokkettishak that as Gutridgel

bad promised to ahide by the award, good or bad,
no matter, he had,lost .his wager by not obeying.
flowerer. they would look at tho report of the
Learned Judge, and here the matter ended for the
present.

A very destructive tire broke out in the +►tables
of Major Phelleii, at Hardinge Green, tiorrey,
on Sunday evening, which was occasioned by a
candle falling from a lanthorn, which communi-
cated itself to a truss of straw. Tl►e Major had
just returned home in his curricle, end the stable-
man was gone for a pall of stater, whets the acci-
dent happened. The build►ng, -consisting, of a
stable and oat-house, was destroyed, as here also
two horses, worth 200 pineal. The *welling_
house caught fire, but it was extinguished 'before
the fla►ues spread.
