GERMAN RIDING.—As is the general practice on the con-

, well as of their linalSs, undergo the most cruel of
martyrdoms. They tell you that the English are the worst
riders in the world, because in a sharp trot they lean forward
and rise in the stirrups. But knowledge of anatomy and the
common principles of mechanical philosophy might show
them, that to sit perpendicularly, as taey do, converts all the
bones in their bodies into pestles to pound each other to
pieces, and makes their whole weight come bump, bump on
their horses' backs, most painfully and detrimentally to
them; while the Englishman, on the contrary, throwing the
pillar of his bones out of the perpendicular, brings his
muscles and tendons to act as springs; and by that gentle,
and, in a good rider, almost imperceptible rising in the
stirrups, he accords his motion harmoniously to that of his
horse, and both go together at any speed with a delightful
smoothness and elasticity, which give a spur to the animal
spirits, and make rapid riding one of the most genuine luxu-
ries of life.—Howitt's Rural and Domestic Life of Germany.
THE FIRE IN LONDON.—ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.—
It has been ascertained, that no less than nine lives have
)een sacrificed in the fire, besides severe injuries sustained by
)thers. The fire commenced in the first floor front room,
)ccupied by a Dutchman, who, with his wife effected their
!nape. In the back room of the first floor were a Mrs.
floss and two children, who were fortunately saved. On the
econd floor back, lived a man, bis wife, and three children,
lamed Proudfoot ; two of the children were burned, and the
Cher, with its parents, had a miraculous escape. They

m of the same floor lived a Mrs. Thomas who was out at
time the fire commenced. The front attic was occupied
a Mrs. Holland, and four daughters. On the fire reach-

Mr. COCKLE, SURGI3ON, has much pleasure in laying, his friends and the public, Mr. ABERNETHY'S
ESTIMATION of his Antibilious Pills, extracted from a
Letter which that !gentleman addressed to him in the year
1824 :

•
" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derange-
ment of the functions of that important organ, and connected
with a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety."

They are prepared by Mr.JAmEs COCKLE, Surgeon Extra-
ordinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAVINE of
lIESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes, at Is. 14d.' 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.
NOTICE.
Let it he especially observed, that those Pills only are
genuine which have the name " JAMES COCKLE, APOTHE-
CARY," in white letters, engraved on the Government Stamp.
This mark of authenticity will protect the Public against any
dangerous and deleterious imitation.

WILL OF THE LATE LORD ROLLE.—Tbe will and nine
codicils of the late Right Hon. Lord Rolle, late of Shewton,
in the county of Devon, has just been proved in the Preroga-
tive Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in Doctors'
commons, by the executors, the Right Hon. Charles Rolle
liaton, Baron Clinton, Zachary Hammett Drake, Esq., and

BANK OF ENGLAND CHARTER.—The present charter of
the Bank of England dates from the Ist of August, 1834, and
is for twenty-one years, but gives, by the fifth clause, an op-
tion to the government of putting an end to the charter,
upon giving one year's notice within six months after the
expiration of ten years from the above date; and the charter
might, consequently, be reclaimed early in he year 1846. If
that period is passed over the charter will go on to the full
term, expiring in 1855 ; after which, if no new charter is
entered into, the exclusive privileges may be terminated at
any time by giving a year's notice.

On Wednesday morning another sad casualty occurred
upon the railway works, at Margaretting. John Cant, about
forty years of age, employed as watchman upon the line, was
unfortunately knocked down, about four o'clock a.m., by a
train oPearth waggons, seven of which passing over both his
legs, smashed them in a dreadful manner. He was imme-
diately placed upon the engine and conveyed towards the
union-house, to which place he was subsequently carried,
and he was there attended by Mr. Barlow, surgeon. Death,
however, put a period to his sufferings in about two hours,
during the whole of which time he remained perfectly sensi-
ble. Deceased was a single man.—ChelmVord Chronicle.
" DONE FOR."—A wag, a few years since, procured some
eye-wash of a quack oculist in this city, to be applied to a
glass-eye which he wore. The oculist not being very sharp-
sighted. discovered there was some defect in the eye, but
thought it was so trifling that he warranted a cure or no pay.
The wag took the wash and deported. In a week or so after
he returned with the empty phial, and apparently in great
distress. "0, doctor, doctor !" said he, " your stuff has
wholly destroyed my eye !" at the same time opening the lids
of the empty socket with his linger, to the horror of the
gasping oculist. "Is it possible! can it be possible !" ex_
claimed the eye tinker. " I never knew my medicine to
operate so before. Well, my dear Sir, I can do nothing less
than return your money." " But you must do more, Sir.
What is five dollars to be compared with the loss of an eye?"
replied the wag. "If you will give me 200 dollars, I will
sign a pledge never to expose you ; but if you do not, I will
prosecute you forthwith, and you are a ruined man." The
quack forked over a check for the amount, and the covey cut
his stick perhaps for Texas.—New York Sunday Mercury.
INCENDIARISM.—About four o'clock in the morning of
Wednesday se'nnight, Mr. H. Carr of this town, butcher,
groused from his bed by information that one of his
1, on a farm called the Otneys, adjacent to this
town, was on fire. He, with his servants, immediately re-
paired to the spot, when they found the information but too
true, the rick, containing about 26 tons of very superior hay,
being one mass of flames. All hope of saving any portion of
it being utterly hopeless, their efforts were directed io save
from destruction an adjoining one, the thatch of* which had
already caught. Most fortunately Mr. Carr had a quantity
of sheepskins at hand, which he caused to be well saturated
with water and spread over it, and by that ;means, aided by
the most indefatigable exertions of himself and men, as well
as several other persons from the villages of Culham and
Sugton, that rick was preserved. No doubt exists as to its

direction he had taken the name of Carisbrook, and claimed
to be entitled to certain estates known by the name of the
Eccleston and the Carisbrook estates. The trustees of Mr.
Eccleston were 'Lord Skelmersdale and a Mr. Masters, to
whom, also, Mr. Thomas Carisbrook, in 1815, had executed
a deed of trust, assigning his estates for moneys advanced.
There bad been a question under the will of the original tes-
tator, whether Thomas or his brother, Charles Carisbrook,
were entitled to the estate. By an order ,of the Court of
Chancery of Lancaster Thomas was declared entitled.
Charles Carisbrook had appealed to the Duchy Court of
Lancaster, when the order was reversed in favour of Charles.
It was alleged that there was a sum of £60,000 to which the
testatrix's estate might become entitled if the order of re-
versal was carried by appeal to the House of Lords, which
the plaintiff was advised to do, the present fund being only
sufficient to pay the pecuniary legacies. The petition was
presented on behalf of the residuary legatees.
Mr. Rolt appeared on the same side.
Mr. Roupell and Mr. Mylne appeared for one of the ex-
ecutors, who did not resist the motion, and also for two of
the residuary le-

Mr. Lown'cle; appeared for the defendant, the executor,
and opposed the motion. The present fund was sufficient to
discharge the testatrix's pecuniary legacies in full, but with-
outinterest ; and he objected to the appeal being tried at
the expense of the pecuniary legatees.
Mr. Sharpe, in reply, argued that it was the duty of the
court to get in the whole of the outstanding estate in the first
instance, and the prosecution of the appeal was a necessary
means of doing so, and ought to be assisted by the court in
the manner proposed.
His Honour took time to consider.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURTS, FRIDAY, DEC. 16.
(Before Sir L. SHADwELL.)

WALSH V. GLADSTONE.
This was a petition by Lord Camoys, Elizabeth Tempest,
and Charlotte Stonor, who were the residuary legatees under
the will of the late Mr. Blundell, which has been several
before the Court, and particularly upon a charitable
_..fit of Roman Catholic priests in and

its butler, two sealed packets, with a direction to retain
hem in his possession until after the testator's death, and
,hen to present them to Messrs. Heywood and Co., Mr.
Blundell's bankers, at Liverpool. The packets were re-
tained by Hall until after Mr. Blundell's death, when they
were duly taken by Mr. Gladstone, one of the executors, to
the banking-house, and one packet was found to contain a
check for £5OO, payable on demand to Hall, and the other a
similar check for £3OO, in favour of a female named Harris.
The testator made a will after the date of these instruments,
by which he gave Hall an annuity of £2OO, and Harris an
annuity of £6O, and, without any allusion to the two checks,
made a revocation of all former dispositions, declaring that
to be his last will. The Ecclesiastical Court having granted
probate of the two checks, a fund of £1,200 stock bad been
set aside to meet them, and the question now raised upori the
petition was, whether the two checks were not revoked by
the subsequent will of the testator.

bequest for the b(
near London

Mr. Stuart, with Mr. Fleming, appeared for the peti-
tioners, who claimed the fund; and Mr. Roupell and Mr.
Rolt were counsel for the two legatees.
The Vice-Chancellor said, the Ecclesiastical Court had
taken upon itself the jurisdiction of construing the two
papers merely for the purpose of admitting them to probate ;
but any thing that Court had done on the ground of con-
struction did not bind this Court; and the question still re-
mained, notwithstanding probate, what was the construc-
tion. It appeared from the probate that the two papers were
dated September, 1833, and this Court was bound by the
decision of the Ecclesiastical Court that they, were to be
taken as part of the will of the testator. Then the testator
executed a subsequent instrument, which he stated to be his
last will, by which he gave legacies to the objects
of the bequest in the previous papers, without any
reference to their being before mentioned, and then he made
a residuary bequest, and finally declared that he revoked all
former wills. His Honour thought this was a clear revo-
cation of the two papers, and therefore directed the fund to
be paid to the residuary legatees.
