It was expected that judgment would have been given-on the- lOlii inst. the las! sitting iu Trinity Term; but the Court not being then prepared to deci le, directed, the cause to stand over generaity. so that it cannot now be de- termined earlier than November.

No public event in the memory of the oldest person now living, ever elicited such general curi- osityas that which was shewn on Monday last to a Masonic Procession at Monmouth, in consequence of the consecration of the Royal Augustus Lodge of Free Masons, lately established in that town. It is supposed that, including the inhabitants, there were not less than 10,000 present on this interesting occasion; and the splendid costume of many of the principal gentlemen belonging to the Lodges at a 11 9 distance, and who honoured it with their presence, gave the assemblage an appearance of military character's of the highest rank. The Society of Arts distributed their premiums, on Tuesday se'nnight, when the gold medal was given to Sir Watkin Williams Wyun, Bart, of Wynnstay, for planting 8-15,500 forest trees. So intense was the heat of the sun on Saturday morning last at Taybacb, Glamorganshire, th tt a gate-post, within a short distance-of Mr. I- iiij) Jones's house, was actually set on fire;, and partly conslifjierJ,before it was discovered.
