THE ROYAL CHRISTENING

NV'sDsoß, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Al-
bert, who take a great interest in everything relating to the
extensive preparations making for the christening of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, have frequently pro-
ceeded over the state and private apartments at the Castle,
inspecting the various alterations, improvements, and em-
be lishmenta, as they are effected under the directions of the
Lord Chamberlain and the superintendence of Mr. Saunders,
of the Lord Chamberlain's department.
It is feared that the late extremely wet and unfavourable
weather, rendering the park in a most unfit state for a mili-
tary display, will cause the grand review, which had been
decided upon, to be postponed. Should, however, there he
a review, it is not expected to be, for the reasons alluded to,
upon anything like so extensive a scale as had been contem-
plated. It is not believed that any troops will be ordered to
Windsor from the neighbourhood of London, Ipswich, and
Hounslow (as it has been rumoured), but that the military
upon that occasion will consist only of the Royal Horse
Guards (Blue) and the 72nd Highlanders.
The Ist regiment of Foot Guards, of which his grace the
Duke of Wellington is colonel. will arrive at Windsor by the
Great Western Railway on the morning of the christening,
to be in attendance on her majesty during the day as a guard
of honour. The regiment will return to town by the same
conveyance in the evening. The lieutenant-colonel was in
attendance at the castle this morning for the purpose of re-
ceiving her majesty's commands upon the subject.
Another rehearsal of the music selected by his royal high-
ness Prince Albert to be performed by the combined bands
of the Royal Horse Guards and the 72d Highlanders, in St.
George's-hall, during the banquet, took place this morning at
the Infantry-barracks in Sheet-street. Lord C. Wellesley,
clerk-marshal and chief equerry to her majesty, the Hon.
Mrs. Arbuthnot, Colonel Bouverie, equerry to Prince Albert,
and several other persons of rank were present.
Wednesday next (the day succeeding the christening) is the
period at present fixed upon for the consecration and pre-
sentation of new colours to the 72d t I iglilanders. The co-
lours will be presented by his Grace the Duke of Wellington
in the Quadrangle, in the presence of her Majesty and
Prince Albert, and the whole of the royal and illustrious
vis!ters at the Castle. _

A large portion of the new stabling connected with the
recently-erected riding-school in the Home-park will be
completed and fit for the occupation of the horses of the vi-
alters to her Majesty. The stabling in two of the courts is
finished.

The temperature in St. George's chapel yesterday evening,
and the whole of to-day, has been at 58 degrees, sufficiently
high, (and higher than it was expected it could be raised,) for
all the purposes intended. The platform in front of the altar
has been completed. It is of sufficiently large dimensions to
admit of at least from 40 to 50 persons.

COURT OF CHANCERY-I—TuzsDAy

CLARKE V. TIPPING.
In this case Simon Clarke, plaintiff, previous to the
year 1831, employed the defendant,th e
John Tipping, of Liver-
pool, as his factor, and made consignments
plaintiff became
to him of goods
to a considerable amount. In 184
em-
barrassed in circumstances, and by deed, dmessrs. Andersonated the 2d of De-
eember, be assigned certain property to
arid WiisOn, as trustees for the creditors, who agreed that each
should have a certain sum, in the proportion his debt should
bear to £7,600. John Tipping
represented to the plaintiff
that his debt amounted to the sum of £2,000, but this was
and
not ascertained, and he consented to the arrangement,
in consideration of the proposal being carried intoeffect, he
executed a release. Both the deeds of arrangement and re-
l. tse had schedules for specifying the debts attached to them,
but the amount of the debt claimed by the defendant was not
mentioned in either. The plaintiff subsequently considere
that he had been deceived by the defendant with respect to
the amount of the tlebt claimed by Mr. Tipping, and not
flub' was the sum of .£2,000 pounds not due to him, but he
had reason to suppose that if the accounts were properly
taken there would be a balance in favour of him, the plain-
t, and accordingly he filed the present bill to have an ac-
Count taken, and to be relieved from the deed of arrange-
ment so far as it related to the sum of X 2,000 the estimated
amount of the debt claimed by John Tipping, but he asked
that the defendant might be confined to that sum if anything
this ouultimately be found due to him on the account. To
_ bill a demurrer was put in for want of equity, and also
for want of parties; the first on the ground
fi • that if the plain-
tiff made no sufficient offer to account or to pay if anything
due from should be found d that the defen-
dant might he held to thern
him, but he asked
it might be set aside in arrangement in one event, and that
,
to the debt claimed upon the so as to confine the defendant
deed, instead of giving him any
larger sum in the event of
its being found due ; arid the se-
cond because it was insiste that the whole of the creditors
parties to the arrangement ought also to be parties to the
suit.

Lord Langdale on the first ground considered that this was
not a case for a general demurrer, on the ground that the
court at the hearing might direct an account to be taken
against the plaintiff. On the second ground, for want of par-
ties, also the demurrer could not be sustained, for, notwith-
standing some slight inferences to the contrarY, the allega-
tions were positive that.no creditor had any interest in the
subject matter of the suit. On these grounds, therefore, he
could not allow the demurrer.

A Fox TRAP.—A correspondent furnishes us with the
following novel mode of catching a fox farmer residiO;
near Newton, Montgomeryshire, was alarmed the °the:
morning by a noise amongst his geese, and upon going do,,„_
to the yard he discovered a fox in the act, of carrying oft. "a
goose. Reynard was so intent upon securing his prey that
he was unaware of the approach of the fiirrner, who took
him by his neck as he was in the act of making off with his
burden, and succeeded in securing him.—Worcester Herald.
