The Loan UnancaLcon observed, that be bad con-
silted with the Vice-Chancellor relative to the as-
signee in this commission of bankruptcy hiving acted
as accountant, and as sseh bating made a charge
against the bankrupt" estate. He was led to ender.
stand It was a usual custom not only at Liverpool but
in London. He much doubted, however, whether the
practice ought to be tolerated by the Court, as there
was danger to be apprehended from it. Where an ac-.1
countant was employed by the joint assignees, ant
saw that he did his duty; bat where one of the as-
signees was the accountant, his co-usienee might be
kept in the dark. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor,
had promised to take the subject into Isis considera-
tion, and communicate the festal' of his deliberation to
him (the Lord Chancellor); and when he had done
so, his Lordship wenW dispose of the petition.

more awful in its appearance than any that bad been
known there for soma, time. It comatenced abaut 3
o'clock, with loud peals of tliunder, and lightning the

mospbace.exhibited one elementary blase. The coach-
men on the roads in that neighbourhood declare, that
though long accustomed to the employ, they hever ex-
perienced such a night. The horses were abeam un-
manageable; and at the Lea, after ehanglag, they
set off at foil speed ; hat the heavy hill they bad to
ascend took them off their wind; and thus .preseetted
any further fear from them. We hare not heard,
however, of any damage having been done in this
neighbourhood.—(ldcat.)
Daring a very heavy thunderstorm. on Wednesday,
11th ult., at Longworth on the Moors. Ganeashiee. a
youth was killed upon the spot. near his father's
house; the lightning entered a loam-house, knocked
down a child and a man, but without injuring them,
anti then went through the wall. The bail-stuns'
measured three inches in circumference. It is re-
markable that, about three years since, a landlord and
his waiter were struck dead by lightning near the
same place.—(ldem.)
STuam ar PAESTON.—On Wednesday last this
town, but more particularly the neighbourhood, was
visited by a tremendous thunder storm. In the morn-
inc the son shone resplendently. and the air felt en-
seasonably warm. But about noon the clouds began
to gather, and at two o'clock they poured fiords their
contents in torrent., and continued the discharge in
the midst of thunder and lightning fur about three
hours The fall of rain above Itilichester was so sad-
den and repions, that we are informed the arches
of the brid.e there were insufficient fur the swelling
streau; ; we fear. therefore, that much damage might
have been Atroainol by the neighbouring lands. The
river Bia-kwater, which passes through Blackburn
nits never known to be so high. Many houses on
the banks were a yard deep in water, and persons
we:e obliged to pips along some of the streets in carts
or on horseback. Being fair time, a great number of
w; 11-dressed country people had artived in the town ;
but tiae sn Iden stunts put an abrupt end to their anti-
cipated pleasures The lightning passed through one
of the hitildials of Messrs. Turner, at Eaood, near

This was an action against the defendant for in-
vading a Patent ohtained by the plaintiff fur making
chain mooring cables, and an improved method of
making ships' anchors. At the sittings in Westminster,
after last Trinity Term, before the Lord Chief Jestire
ands Special Jury, the plaintiff had a verdict. In
Michaelmas Term a rate Niti was granted for setting
aside the verdict and obtaining a new trial. Cause
was shown ag anst the rule last week, when the Court
after tench discussion, seemed to be of opiniou that
the plaintiff was entitled to the merit of investing the
chain cable—hut that, as to the anchor, it was a mat-
ter of doubt. 'f be case, however, was ordered to stand
over for further Argument, this day, upon two guys- •
tions : 1. Whether the Patent wee good as to the an-
chor as well es to the chain cable ; and if ant—

Lordships came to this conclusion, upon the authority
of the case of Hill r. Thompson in the Court of Com-

to such a decision. It would be open, however, to the
plaintiff, to take the opinion of a Court of Error up. n

a new trial, should it be thought advisable upon con.

Bow-aver r.T.—.l DIESPER•DO.--A "'tont middle-
sired man. named Edward M00r..., was brought before
the Magistrate charged with creating a riet at the
house of one of the overseers of the parish of St. Mary-
le-Strand. When placed at the bar he presented a
shocking spectacle ; for his fate was swollen and
livid : he appeared to have " twenty trenched gashes
on his head," from which the blood flowed profusely
down his person ; his hair was dotted with gore : . he '
had neither coat nor cravat ; and his hands, covered '
with blood, were manacled together.
It appeared by the evidence of three or four officers,
all of whom were more or less wounded, that the over-
seer above-mentioned sent for one of tkem on Sunday
afternoon to take the prisoner into custody on a charge 1
of making a disturb .nce and raising a mob about his'
house. The officer did as he was desired, and lodged
the prisoner safely, as he thought, in the little watch-
house adjoining the church. In the morttiog when
he went to bring him before the Ilagistrate, he fjund
the door of the watchhouse bad been forced open, and
he bad made his es ape ; but nut before he bad broken
all the furniture to pieces with the poker. AIM some
inquiry it was discovered that he was concealed at the
Snit and Apple-tree pithlic.hoose, in White Hart-yard,
and thither the officers proceeded to take him. The
moment he perceived them, however, be sprang np 'Ts
them with a knife in each hand, and attempted to stab
those in front; but missing his first thrust, th,ungh
his own itnprtnosity, one of them closed upon him, and
the nthers striking over his head with their heavy brass
staves, he was knocked down, and, at tc r a long straggle
1 on the ground, the handcuffs were placed on his wrist,
and be was brought to the office.
He seemed perfectly indifferent to his situation, and
'when called upon for his defence, be replied, looking
down upon his handcuff., " A pretty pair of taffies
these are f 'r a fellow who has served his Stag ant
country under live different Admirals:—All I want is
to serve my Kin and country again, and not to be
iader the orders of any inf—l overseer." •
