A New Comet.—M. Mauvais, of the Royal Observa- 
tory at Paris, has just discovered a telescopic comet, 
within the limits of the constellations Cygnus and Pegasus. 
On Wednesday last, at 15 hours 10 min. 54 sec., mean 
time of Paris (10 min. 54 sec. past three o’clock in the 
morning), its right ascension was 326 deg. 33 min. 44 sec. 
and Boreal declination 29 deg. 34 min, 30 sec. In 24 
hours, its right ascension increased 36 minutes of degree, 
and its declination diminished 1 minute. It had a feeble 
oval-shaped nebulosity, with a sensible condensation of 
light at the centre. Sir James South has published the 
following note on the subject in the Z'imes, dated from 
Kensington Observatory, at 3 a.m. on Thursday. At 
7 hrs. 31 min., sidereal time, of May 10, I got a glimpse 
of the telescopic comet: its right ascension was about 
22 hrs, 2 min. and 29 sec., and its north declination about 
29 deg. 15 min. 30 sec; but it was seen with so much 
difficulty with my five-feet equatorial, that the observa 
tions must be regarded with suspicion.’

Well as Independents of the relator’s own 
judgment. i nour delivered a very 
[rtten judgment, of which it will be sufficient to give an out- 
line. Hi 
Several of the trustees of which, in her lifetime, were N 
formists, and that she died in 1710; that it was very difficult now 
to ascertain to what particular class of orthodox dissenters she 
belonged; and that the ians, an jents, and 
Baptists, differed only on articles of church government, but 
agreed on articles of faith and religious worship among them- 
Selves and the Church of England. it was clear that Uni- 
tarians were not objects of her bounty, although they had, in 
double object, exclusive as regarded 
Slusive as regarded the orthodox Dissenters. The decree, how- 
ever, merely declared who were not fit to partake in the benefits 
of the charity, and it removed all the trustees and sub-trustees, 
oe member of the Church 
Of England, all Unitarians. His Honour had a distinct recol- 
lection, which ;

form, because the present Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who 
Was the leading counsel for the relators, desired it should be 
80. However, it appeared with reasonable clearness what was 
the principle of the decree. It excluded those who were not 
proper objects of the charity, namely, Unitarians and members

an Independent charity, which was not the meaning of the

t 
oo Seven trustees, and of the several sub-trustees, appointed by 
ee Henley, and the objects of the four petitions now before 
the Court. “And his Honour thought that the real question upon 
are four petitions, namely, whether proper persons were

font Was of opinion that Lord Henley’s report was right, and

Which haq youd think, if she were living, upon the questions

though pei iter piety and benevolence, it is probable that 
prtttions RICHER eae she would have approved of the 
Tesh: hurch o} rigidly 
Yterian—had recently made in favour of the Jews, and she 
would have been delighted to ponder upon the details of the inte- 
resting narrative which was lately published by Messrs. Bonner 
and MacCheyne, two of the missionaries from that Church. 
is Honour confirmed the Master’s report, appointing trustees 
Attorney-General, were to have but one set of costs, as directed 
by Lord Cottenham’s order. It was very proper that the ques- 
fon should be fully discussed, but the estate should be protected 
is OMMON PLEAS.—Chesney v. Day.—This was an 
action fora breach of contract under the following circumstances : 
the plaintiff is a Col. in the Artillery, and in the year 1838 under- 
took a survey of the river Euphrates, his return to this 
country he contracted with the defendants, who are lithographic 
printers, to furnish him with certain illustrations o: 
which | he proposed to write, descriptive of his survey. Owing 
to the illness of one of the defendants, the proposed illustrations 
were delayed, and the publication of the work was stopped until 
the defendants furnished the illustrations. Ultimately they were 
delivered, but not in time for the publication, until all interest 
was lost, in consequence of a parliamentary report which had 
been subsequently published, For the plaintiff several witnesses 
Were examined, who all stated that the illustrations of the work 
were necessary to a profitable sale.—Mr, Serjeant Talfourd, for 
the defendants, contended that, did the plaintiff's work possess 
intrinsic interest, it would not have required the fictitious eid of 
lithographic illustration to recommend it to public notice.—- 
His Lordship elaborately summed up the evidence; and 
Jury, after half an hour’s deliberation, found a verdict for the 
plaintiff—Damages, 1002.

MARK LANE, Fripay, May 12.—-We have to report a fair 
supply of Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk; the condition 
‘was good, the demand being on the best White, we were enabied 
to establish an advance of 1s. on the best qualities, but this 
improvement did not apply to Red and secondary. In Foreign 
there was a fair business transacted during last week at anu 
advance of 1s. per quarter, which was maintained to-day, but 
there was less doing. Barley remains at the same price, and 
last week’s currency*was supported for Peas and Beans. The 
Oat-trade is fully as dear as last week.
