STOWE T. PERRINGS.  In this case application was made for leave to transfer seven hundred pounds, in the hands of the Deputy Remembraucer, into the possession of the  This application was made under the following circumstances :—The Plaintiff, who was sole heiress to her father and. grandfather's estates, married Geo. Stowe during the period of her minority. Two trustees, one of them named Turner, and the other the present Defendant, were accordingly nominated to manage her estates and protect what monies were transmitted to her by the marriage settlemeut. Turner, one of the guardians, however, happened to go abroad, and all enquiry after him was fruitless. A bill was therefore filed in the Exchequer, praying for an accurate account, of the guardianshily from the Defendant, and leave to no►ainate another trustee. The Court, after having meditated on the case for sometime, transmitted it, with consent of the parties, into the hands of the Deputy Remembrancer, with the monies surrendered, who appointed a gentleman, of the name of Gibson, to be joint trustee with the Defendant, upon which the Court ordered all the monies deposited in the Deputy Remembmncer's hands, to be transferred into the hands of the trustees. During the progress of the transfer, George Stowe died, and, the proceedings were stopped until further instructions were received. The widow, therefore, prayed that under the circumstances of her being without children, and the sole heiress of her husband's estates, free from all legacies, that the Court would please to cause the' Deputy Remembrancer to surrender 7001. into her hands, being the whole that remained untrans— fer red.

A few days since, a numerous and highly reTectable meeting was held at Hornsey, to take iuto•consideration the propriety of enclosing the few acres of uncultivated land, in that parish ; when, after a long debate, the advocates for the enclosure were defeated by a very large majority; to the great satisfaction of the Inhabitants of Hornsey and Highgate. Had the measure been adopted, and the common enclosed, the advantage would only have beyn derived by the few who occupied frontage land. Highgate common and Muswell-hill consent are in the parish of Homey.

The former Gentleman was severely, though not considered dangerously, wounded in the thick part of the arm.  On Wednesday morning, as J. Peters was walking through a shrubbery, near Uxbridge, he perceived a well-dressed man in black suspended from one of the trees.
