Thecase of Yale v. Willett, (2 Eat,t), which turned on a notic-r like the present, was decided in Mr. %V illan'e favoutr ; the Court hay. Ing held that the notice funned a part of the contract, and that it ought to have been stated in the declaration. In Clarke v. Gray, (6 East), ind , wd, the Court came to a con• teary decision on the same point, holding that the carrier's contract us as only to liquidate any damage that might be sustawed. Dlr Willan, who thought it very hard that he should suffer by the alteration of the law within so few years, especially where his own case had established that law, insisted that • Th. Searlett should move to set aside the verdict in the pre sent instance, relying on the former case. The Court said they should introduce still greater uncer tainty, if they were not to abide by " Clarke and Gray," which had been decided after two arguments; and on great deliberation.—itule refused.

HARRIS V. COKE AND ANOTHER. Mr. Serjeaut Leas moved for a rule to show cause why the Don-snit in this case should not be set aside. It was a case of excessive distraint, but he did not mean now to move on the merits. The ground of the tionsuit was that the plaintiff had described himself as living in St. George the Martyr's, Blooms bary, while the parish really was St. George's, Bloomsbury, and St. George the Martyr's was adjoining to St. Andrew's, Holborn ; butt he had now to submit to the Court, that every kit. George's was St. George the Martyr's. ChiefJustice.—Yon must describe places by their known and proper names. Mr. Justice Park.—Your client took particular pains to be wrong. lie lived in Hart-street, which was well known to the foreman of the jury to be in St. George's, Bloomsbury, and at first it had been so expressed ; but your client interlined St. George the Martyr's. 'lust church was unilt in the time of George 1., who was then a Saint, and lance it was called St. George's. I have read so in the history of London. Mr. Serjeant Leus said, that it certainly was called St. George's in common parlance, but as these was no St. George hut St. George the Martyr, St. George the Martyr's was the right legal deviiption. Rule refused. WRIGHT V. HOWkE. This case had been tried at the last Leicester Assizes, before Lord Chief Justice Dallas, and 2001. damages had been re. covered by the plaintiff, on the gi wend of the defendant hav ing dismissed his son, Irk° had been apprenticed to the de fendant. The d efendant is a surgeons the plaiiiiitl's son was apprenticed to him for seven years, the 'plaintiff paying a premium of 301. and the defendant engaging to give the plain tdr's sou board, lodging, and instrnetiou. At the end of two years of the period the &fend:vitt dismissed the appi en lice, and never assigned any reasou, but that the boy had re fused to carry letters to the post...Pffiee, and this was not proved. The plaintiff afire' wards bound his son to another surgeon for five years, without any premium, hot without ob taining board or lodging, winch cost the plaintiff 431. a year. Mr. Serjeant Vaughan pleaded strongly for a t uhe, on the ctound that the damages were ekce.sive, and would be ruin. ous to the defendant. _ Chief Justice.—The only ground urged is, that the damages are wxcessive. In order to obtain a rale on such a gromid the damage must appear veiny excessive. In the present rase the only question with we is , whether the damages should tot he more. ..... Mr. Justice Park.—l thiuk the damages should be more. - - - - 31r. Justice Burrotigh saw no reason to alter the verdict. Chief Justice.—ln Leicester my brother Vaughan is so often in a judicial capacity, that they sometimes fail to dis. tinguish when he is counsel in a cause. 'lliat made me sum up with more derision.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER. REPRESENT.I77ON OF IrE.YTMINSTER. COPY OF A LETTER FROM SIR FRANCIS BURDETT. Kirby park, Nov. 'J. NI& GENTLEMEN.—On my arrival here, 1 found a numerously signed requisition from the city of Westminster, requesting that would take the chair, at a meeting intendedlto be held for the pur pose of considering what, under the distressing circumstances in which a recent misfortune has placed us, is the most advisable to be done. I lose no time in expressing my readiness to accede to the requisi tion, and in assuring the electors of IVestininster. that I consider it is pleasure, its well as a duty. to obey their call whenever they judge me capable of rendering them any service. With respect to the cause, the sad cause, which has created the necessity of a fresh struggle for the independence of Westminster, it would not be proper for me to suy inure at present, titan that I share, with every honest heart, in the common grief; an event b 0 unlooked for and overwhelming brings home at once to our bosoins the poignant anguish of private affliction, and a deep ~ense of public calamity. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and very humble servant, (Signed) FRANCIS BURDETT. OLD BAILEY: TULSDA V, Nov. 10. The whole of the trials having been gone through, at 12 oe.ock sentence of death was passed upon the following 25 prisoners, four of whom have been convicted of uttering forged bank notes :William Digby alias Cripps, John Evans, Gilbert Warren (forgery), William Holt, Patrick Leeson, T.

A Jury of Matins was sworn in to ascertain whether Mary Hall, upon whom sentence of death had been passed, was or was not with child. The jury retired, and on their return, reported that she was with child. The judgment upon Mary Hall was therefore respited. Sentence of transportation for life was passed npon the following prisoners :—Marsli Brown, Henry Hawkins, Wm. Clarke, Hugh Corrie, John Carter, John Ray, James Edwards; Thomas Little, William Bingley, Jahn Teske, George Brooks, Edward Farren,and Mary Brown. The following were sentenced to 14 years transportation : Joseph Davis, John Combe, William Brown, Thomas Curry, John Lecore, and Catharine Bryan. John Daley, tried for the murder of Learwood, the tailor, in the Fleet, and convicted of manslanghter, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment in Newgate. No fewer than 76 prisoners were sentenced to seven years' transportation. Several other prisoners were sentenced to lighter punishments. The sessions then adjourned until Wednesday tlic 2d of December next. It appears by a retnrn presented to the llome of Commons (and which was ordered to he printed on the sth of June Iola), that the her of ei iinival offenders committed fur trial in England and in Wales, during the la4t thirteen years, has increased in the last year to inure than triple the number of the former year ; that the number sentenced to death was Heady in the like proportion ; hut Oat the number of execu tions was not one-half in proportion to the number so Sea tsuced.—The hers wets as follow : In the years MS and tali.

The messenger of an apothecary in Kentish Town, who was employed to carry medicines about to the several pa tients of his master, had, on the sth of Nos ember, purchased a quantity of squibs, two dozen of which he had put into his breeches pocket. As lie went along, lie !et one of them off, but unfortunately some of the sparks thereof coming in con tact with the touch paper of those in his breeches pocket, almomst instantaneously set them in a blaze. The boy was terrified, did not put his hand into his pocket for fear of burn ing it ; in vain did lie call to the bystanders, for they were equally terrifies' with himself. Shortly, a tremendous ex plosion was heard, and the spectators were shucked by the horrissle sight of his bowels gustiing from his abdomen. The shrieks of the boy roused tile beholders at length to a Sense of charity, and lie Was shortly atter carried to St. Thul ium'''.

Fr.stALE COURAGE.—On Thursday evening n man who had been absened lurking about Newington tin several hour-, got over the fence of a garden belonging to Mr. Webb, Prospect Row, where wt. rioua article! , of linen were banging out to cry. Catherine. the daughter of Mr. Webb, about 19 years dirge, peireiving him in the act of taking the property from the lines. went into the garden ; the thief upon her approach attempted to escape over the wall, but was foilel ao the endeavour by the courage of Miss Webb. who seized hon by the collar, and held him fast till her father arrived to her assistance. The name of the robber is Wm. Sherwood. Upon being taken before a Magistrate, he was committed for trial. Tun Goon N Elan non n.---The following droll circumstance lately occurred in the north of the metropolis lady, probably very ignorant of what was passing in her own Imo e, as she thought, and had reason to think, from hes unwearied vigilance, perfectly aermaiuted w tth all the domestic economy of her ncigAwirs.

To be convinced of error, and to lose no time in correcting it, is the grace of virtue. A letter, charged with thew suspicion*, was immediately dispatched to the 4 mint, who wrote her a very politic answer, stating how much he was obliged to her Mr the lively interest sh•e took in the morality of his tanoly, that he would forthwith institute an inquiry into the matter, and paw speedy end to any impropriety he might discovtr; but he begged leave to ob serve, that he had lotto:Ito understood it to be die custom of this country for a wan and wik to sleep togeducr. _ _ • .‘cetris:s•cm rn t.

The whole was completed in a workmanlike manlier ; and it is particus lady worthy of notice, that the first twenty acres were ploughed in one hour.
