The Times, 1824-12-11T00:00:00

A case of some interest came before the LoRD (CHAN. CEtLOR yesterday. A periodical work on medical subjects, entitled The Lancet, had been accustomed to publish Sir ASTLEY Coorsa's Lectures as they were delivered, and vas proceeding in the same eiourse with respect to the Lectures of Mr. AbERXwTRn-the hig-hly-talented Mr. ABERNETHY, as the no doubt equally-highly-talented So- LICITOR-GENERAL styled lim. We believe that SirASTLEY COorER was not entirely content with the practice of the Editor of The La7wet: however, as there might appear to be as much sveet as bitter in it, he swallowed both. Mr. ABERNETHY 'Vill swallow neither: he is not content that his fame should be diffused by the violation of his exclu- sive right to his own literary property; and at the risk, also, of fathering whatever errors ani unauthorized reporter may commi:. He therefore applied to'tbe Court of Chan- cery yesterday, for an "t injunction" to stay the editors of he-Lanecet from publishing his Lectures. The matter ended in a temporary compromise, by which the number actually ia the press might be allowed to appear, anti the future publicatieTl be suspenidetl till th1e cause should be argued. It was easy, however, to see that the LonD (JwANCELLOU's opinion was decidedly hostile to the publication. The case,as acutely stated byhis Lordship, 1atotally differentfrom those in which the reports of courts of justice or police-offices are concerned.The proceedings of the latter arc pubdicijuris; the officers presiding are the public servants, and they mu3t speak and m-.st act openly; and the public, without the payment of any admission fee,. have a right to know ho-w they speak and aci; or otherwise British subjects would, fall into alshost a totat5prance of the practice of the law as die great mass of Roman Ti-Cholics are of the contenits of the Bible, being excluded fror the perusal or knowledge of it by -theit Inflllible Chlrclh The 4ase before the- Court yesterday was thus stated-by.l his LorJeiip ;-? i i40 b~ther.party attendiDg -Ietug "in any branch of philosophy or learning, for bis own in- X "formation, is at liberty to publish the kcctures for bis. own advantage 9 It is evident, if this be an accurate statement of the case, that the mental improvement derived by hearing is all that is paid for: the Professor has not conveyed away his right to the profit to be derived from publication.

The Times, 1824-07-14T00:00:00

The foUlowing is the answer of Governor Woodford to the peti- tion of some oftheinhabitants of Trinidad, praying the Governor to suspend the Order in Council:_ " The petition of the persons styling themselves the ' Free inha. bitantsof the Colony' has beeu laid before the Goovernor2 and his ExcEllency feels himnself called upon to express, in the first instance, hisconcern that the Assembly at which it has been adopted should hare taken place, notwithstanding the disapprobation which his Ex. cele-% h, in the first instance, expressed of a meeting being call. el for the arpose for which it was understood to be convened. "' The iovernor however, observes witl satisfaction, the admis. sion on the part of the petitioners of that obedience which all in. habitants of the colony owe to the orders of the King in Coundl. "His Excellency is happy to learn the determinadon which the pedtioners have adopted, of improving the condition of aheir slaves. " We cannot concur in the view which the petition takes of the Order of Council, ef which a draught has beeri pablished in the co. l0ny. Te pa-nts which it comprises were recommended to his Msa jesty's Government, by the whole body of West India Planters and merchants in London, as fit concessions on the part of the slave propietor3. ItAl.ny of the provisions have long been in practice in the colony, ond others have been partially adopted, under tue recommendations t=ansrnitted by his itajesty's Government last year. " The Governor is not awareof anylaws, now in force, thatwould warrunt his suspending the promulgation of any order of his Ala. jerty In Council, and more especially one that has received the un- quazified approbation of both Houses of Parliament, and that of the cunr.y tim general. " Tge Gvernor, therefore, while he feels it to be his duty dis- tinctly to decline the solicitation of the petitioners, cannot but ex- press his regret at being unable to 4fford a more favourable reply to the prayer of the Vetition. " His Excelency iaments that he should have felt himself pre- celded from receiving the deputation of the petitioners, which his rirovous disapproval of the meeting compelled him to decline.

(From a Correspondent.) A Mileeti,g of the Comnmon Councilmen of the ward of Farringdon Without was held yesterday morning, at the new Inquest House, in St. Andiew's Churchvard, Holborn, for the purpose of instituting an inquiry as to the alloged want ofa prompt and sufficienit-upplyof wat,r at the late conflagrations that have occurred in that ward, viz. in Fleet-street, and at Messrs. Wilkinson's, on Ludgate.hill. &otice of the intended meeting and its object had been given to the Directors of the different Fire Insurance 0 fices, as also to the New River Company5 and sevdral gentlemen, together with some of the firemen, ana the parochlial and city officers,weie in attendance. As this inquiry was one of great public importance, and of such a nature that it would be scarcely possible to suggest cven a plausible reason for its being conducted with secrecy, some of the Common Coancil were of opinion that the attendance of a gentleman connected with the public press would be highly desirable * and a reporter, who has been personally knows to the Alderman and every Com- mon-Councilman of that ward, for years, was accordingly spoken to upori the subject, afid in consequence attended in the ante-room, ex- pecting to be called in as soon as the meeting was formed, havidg noutfied to the deputy, who was to take the chair, that he was in at- tendance. 'Whether some of these wiseacres thought that the presence of a reportet would be derogatory to the dignitv of a meeting of sixteen tradesmen, dubbed Common Councilmeni, or, whick is more pro- bable, were fearful of exposing to a person of any capacity the saga- cious manner in which Coimmen Councilmen conduct inquiries of importance, a question arose as to the propriety of admitting the gentleman ; and after solemn deliberation, it was at length decided by a hmajerity on the show of hands. that the mecting was private, and that the reporter should not be admitted. As Mir. Alderman Waitlima, the Alderman of the ward, was expected, and did subsequently attend trhe meeting, it is pro pr to notice, that the resolution for excluding the reporter took place before he arrived. - SVARCITY OF WVATER AT THE LATE PIRES.

Sailing Match.
The Times, 1824-06-21T00:00:00

On saturday a rrand sailing match took place, below-bridge, by gentlemen's pleasu.-e vessels, for asilver cup and cover, given by the Trhames Yacht Cllb. At 10 minutesi before 10 o'clock, a signal being given, the following boats started from their moorings off Blackwall : Don Giovani . Captain Davey . . .. 11 tons St. George . Captain Codd . . . . 9 tons Venus . Captain Groves . . . . 13 tons Fortitude . . . . Captain Mlartin . . . 7 tens Friendship . . . . Captain Wrilliams . . . 7 tons Deception . . . . Captain White . . . . 18 tons. The vessels were to sail round to the southward of a boat moored off the round tree at Gravesend, and back round to the northward inside a boat moored offtheArtichokeatBlackwalL The Fortitude got away in capital style, and for some distance took the lead; but she was soon passed by the Venus and Deception, and, from the superior sailing of the two latter boats, it became anparent that the match would 'be decided bv one of them. The Vennus, however, was a-bead, and, in spite of all the skilful msanuvres nf tbe Decep- tion, maintained her advantage the whole way. She reached Gravesend, and made a very close and neat turn round the boat stationed there at 16 minutes before one o'clock. The De- ception got round at four minutes before one. The Venter came in at Blackwall at three o'clock, and was declared to have won the prize, which will be delivered to her Captain at Carnberland-gar- dens on the first Thursday in Julv. The Deception arrived at Blackwall at a quarter after three. - The Giovanni and Friendship have both woIn matches above bridge, but the wind was too strong to permit them tocompete vith such large vessels as the Venns and the Deception. The Giovanni in returning had her mast and sails car- ried awar. The Pavonurite steam-packet, which was ehgamed for the accommodation or the members of the Thames Yacht Club and their friends, accompanied the vessels, and afforded a good view of the match.
