I TOCksa, a bankrupt, was opposed by Mr. BARltew under the Seth clause for_obtaining money under false pretences. The Learned. Counsel stated, that for some time previous to his bankruptcy, the prisonerliad been carrying on a system of accommodation 'Notes to a very great extent ; and that there were at present notes unpaid to the amount of upwards of 4"2:3,0e1 Many of these notes had been drawn and accepted by young men and boys under 21 years of age, therefore at the time of negociating 'them, the prisoner must have been aware he was committing . an act of fraud, as the bills so accepted were in fact worth nothing ; these facts he was instructed to say, he should be able to prov.,: by letters in the prisoner's hand-writing. Several biters addressed to Messrs. Winter s .Gril let and Co. and others, were then produced, and.Mr: Grillet was called to prove the hand-writing of the prisoner. _ Mr. NOLA N on th e p art o f t h e p r i s o ner ' conten d e d tTiat these letters could not be received in evidence, as they related to transactions in which the opposing Creditor hid no share whatever, and that such had been the decision of Mr. Seijcant Onslow an the first. day of the Ses , ions. . . The Learned CHAIRM A N (Mr. Kendrick) however, was of opinion the (1 , 2 t lining creditor might go into any evidence to establish the fraud,. whethei connec ted with his debt or not. • . The letters were then fend. They related to a sys. tem of hill transactions between the prisoner and se veral pertons in London and elsewhere ; and from the letters it appeared clearly that they were accom modation bills: In one of the letters addressed to Mr. Jones, Manchester, the prisoner desires hini to send some stamps, Numbers 2,3,. 4, and 5, some signed by himself, others he was to .accept, and leave the istims of all blank ; he complains of the difficulty of 001 g money for them, and from thence infers the necessity of establishing a bank of their own. In an 'ether letter, addressed to Messrs. Winter and Co. lie says, u I have inclosed you two bills, drawn by Ayers, on Tucker and Co.—one for i6'200 at seventy days, and the other for the same sum, at seventy-five days." This Ayers, the Learned Counsel said, he could prove was no other persou,than the prisoner's footman.— The written instructions from the prisoner to his'clerk were then read, in which he directs him to fill up the blank signatures with various sums, and then let Ed, ward write off the acceptances, he (the Clerk) first doing it with a pencil. This Edward, •the Learned Counsel said, was a child, who could not write his name without its being first pencilled for him- The CHAIRMAN eves of opinion, that this mode of. filling up and negotiating bils was clearly obtaining. 'money under false pretences. Mr. NOLAN said, if such were the opinion of the Bench, he must submit, and consent to the prisoner's being remanded, subject to the opinion of the Court of King's Bench as to the admissibility of the letters which had been read as evidence against him. He was then remanded, subj.'ct to the opinion of the Court of King's Bench, to be taken next term. Objections were made to the discharge of.Mr.Whit nell and Mr. Waddington, on charges of being out of custody on recent occasions, the nee having been seen at Vauxlei!l, and the other at Croydon. No eviderce was adduced however to substantiate the char-e, and on the prisoners deposing on oath the con trary, they were ordered to be enlarged. The enlargement of Joshua' Taylor was opposed under the :34th and 35th clauses of the Act :—First, for obtaining money under false pretences ; and se condly, for receiving money on account of his em ployer, and converting it to his own purposes.—The prisoner was a Serjeant in the division of Marines quartered at Woolwich, and was employed by Capt. Barlow, The Deputy Pay-master of that corps, to re. Iceive money from the house of Rutton and Co. for the i purpose of paying the men ; and in the absence of Mr. Barlow, from intructions given to the banker, he was empowered to draw what money he thought pro-' . per for paying the marines. This authority, however, he abused, and drew £307 more than was necessary for the intended purpose, which he appropriated to his • own use. And on the circumstances being discovered, he'passed his note of hand to Messrs. Rutton and Co. ‘ - . foethat sum, which note he did not take up, and was icopseqnently arrested.—The Court overruled the ob jection, on the ground of the prisoner having been employed, not as the servant of Captain. Barlow, but !in Many instances during the absence of Mr. Barlow acted as actual Paymaster, being in the constant ha : tiit i of paying the Men. He was therefore discharged. ! 4 " : ' axon Joseph Paratiani, a foreie,n Nobleman, was !ifb ci ied by Charles Thoroughgood, a Sheriff's Officer, vdio had lent him upwards 'of 4EIOO whilst he had him in custody, from a belief that lie was entitled to con siderable sums of money. It did not appear, however, that the prisoner had stated any falsehood to the Of ficer, and he was discharged. . 1 Mr. BOWES, notwithstanding the length of his con finement, has, as. yet declined availing himself of the : berlific of this Act. SUSSEX ASSIZES.-I,I.WFq, AUGUST 7. WOODHAMS V. KING. This was an action of trespass for sporting on the plaintiff's land, after notice, and has arisen out of a contest which has embroiled part of this county for , a considerable time. The real plaintiff was Mr. littrisch, who resides at Corsica-hall, and the &fen : dims farmers of respectability. I : difir.iSerjeant Sil EPHERD, for the plaintiff, described . the-trespass as one the most aggravated, stating that thefilefendants, in company with several others, rode over the plaintiff's grounds, not merely with a view of spotting, but with a design totally to extirpate the gaTe. 4 For this purpose they not only had grey hounds and lurchets, but also were accompanied by no Jess than 12 or 14 beagles. How they could have conducted themselves in a manner more destructive. to the game, he was at a loss to know, unless they* had hired half a dozen fellows with guns to shoot all they would otherwise miss. The plaintiff, WOodham, he said, was tenant to Mr. Harben, and that Gen . tleman being out on the 2fith of February last, saw the whole of the cavalcade on his grounds. He re monstrated with them upon it, but was treated with , most. gross and vulgar abuse, instead of redress. He should shew that Mr. Harben merely desired to know .`"tlieii - names, when he was called ‘‘ scoundrel, vil e lain," and the most opprobrious names that scurrili. At the late York Assizes, a youth of the name of Hainsworth, who had been deprived of his left hand through the carelessness of the driver of a cart in Leeds, obtained a verdict for 5001. damages against Mr. Morkill, jun. of Halton, the owner of the cart, for the injury he had sustained. Tuesday se'nnight barley harvest was begun at Hai dgate-burn, in the neighbourhor,d of Aberdeen. ,CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUGU ST 9.—The Market to-day has tolerable supplies of Wheat, which exceeds the demand, and sales are heavily n ade, at lower prices—Barley again in very talon sup, ly— Malt hardly at last prices—White Peas, th;s week, full 10s. per quarter cheaper—Beans, of the twci kinds, are lower—there are considerable suppiies ce Oats, mostly foreign, but few samples of first quality, and those rather dearer.—Flour inclines lower — tine American 48s. to 51s. per barrel. • Barley Oats Barley Oats :. tt &hitt hiTett. He .trusted , hoWeter, the tary, by their verdict, would put at end to this serf r 4 ii. tem. perate conduct of the defendant and his Mends. Henry Reeds, a servant to Harben, said, h e served notice on the defendant not io sport on the land.. of the plaintiff, on the 19th of Febi nary last ; he wat not surethat it wet addressed to the defendant by the plaintiff. The rest of the notice, except the aduress,, was in Mr. Harben's hair(' writing. It was proved that a party was out sporting on the '2Bth of February last, and that the defendaet was on a piece of rape-wed belonging to the plaintiff, whither he went after his brother, who was quarrell ing with Mr. Harben. IVIr. MARRYATT, for the defendant, told the Jury, that se tar from the defendant having committed an aggravated - trespass, that this was one •:f the most . unfounded actions ever brought into a Court of Jus tice. ..The real plaintiff was Mr. Harben, who, it was true, had received some hard names from the defendant ; but as the Jury probably knew him, they could best tell whether he deserved them or not.— The defendant, who was a very large farmer, had, in company with his neighbours and friends, pile out sporting on the '2Bth of February last ; they held amongst them between 2 and 8000 acres of land, and had no intention whatever of trespassing on any land belonging to Mr. Harben ; in fact, they had never gone into any of his land, when he . thought proper to come no to them, and .attaCit them in a very on. warrantable manner. This induced an altercation with Mr. T,. King, notthe defendant, but his bri.ther, and by degrees as they went on, they went tiff the. bounds of the defendant's land into the land ef l s.he plaintiff. When they got dicie r the defendank,lL - King, got off his horse and went into die field to prevent any contention between his brother and. liar- ben. The moment he got into the field, Harben ez , claimed, 4 4 Ah, ha, old Dickey, I've got you at last ; you have now committed a trespass, and yeti -• shall p'iy for it."—He should alSo call witnessei, who would prove that the defendant was the nephew of the nominal plaintiff ; that they lived in the best pos- . sible terms of friendship ; and that when Woodhams was remonstrated with upon his conduct in warning his nepheW - off his land, he declared he was totally ignorant of its being dime. He said, at the restest of Harben, he had signed some blank notieee; but, so far from intending to warn the defendant off the ground, he was perfectly welcome to sport and shoot there as much as he liked. Two witnesses, of the name of Hichins and Hard wicke, proved, that they were sporting on their own • and the defendant's grounds, and that they had no intention of tresp'assing on any person's; that they were followed and annoyed by Harben, in conse. quence of which an altercation took place,' in which . angry language passed on both sides ; that Harben fode past `them repeatedly, and looked in their faces; one of them told him he would see no face worse than his own, &c. At last Thomas King and Um- ben went into a clover field belongingeo.the plaintifF, and Richard King, the defendant, followed; upon which Harben said, " What, Dickey, 1 have caught yod in a trespass at last." The defendant's brother also proved that the plaintiff declared that he never meant to warn them off his land, and the notice had been given by Harben without his knowledge. - - • The Lotto Clime Barton held, that a' - notice..so • glven was no notice at all, and observed, if they be bested the Defiindant's witnesses, although a trespass ; • had been committed, yet the smallest damages would satisfy the justice of the case.

We have received a letter from a friend in Bostoll,. New England, dated the 19th June, from which iot make the following extract : " I met with rather an odd circumstance yester day. Being from Britain, I was asked if I had been acquainted with T. F. l'ALmeit, Who was transports 43 to Botany Bay for sedition. The result of the cc*t versation was briefly this : • " PALMER, having served out the term of fs sen tence, bought a vessel and quitted the colony. • He was afterwards cast away on one of thd Mariama Islands, where he died from fatigues and was buried on the beach. 44 An American Captain being there in May 1804, by permission from the Governor, took up the body ! and his bones are now in possession of a Gentleman in this place, who will deliver them, free of any ea pences, to any of Mr. PALrecn's relations or friends who may apply for them. The American Captain, along with Mr. PALmna's remains, brought a certifi cate from the Governor, of which the following is a translation : Don Vincent Blanco, Captain in the Royal Regiment of the City of Manilla, Governor and Chief Justice for his Catholk Mari jesty of these ariam Islands, eertihes,—That the bones taken, from hence by Mr. Samuel W.

Windsor is full of fashionable folks. On Sunday a grand display was expected on the Promenade, but, in consequence of the badness of the weather (to use the language . of Windsor)• there was no terrace. The Royal Family did not walk ; the Staffordshire Band, however; played a short time, but they were soon compelled, with the few who ventured to shew them selves, to make a quick return to their` homes, driven by a very heavy shower of rain. Edward Wright, alias My Hearty, a notorious cha racter, dled on Monday, in the House of Correction, in the 80th year of his age. He had been upwards of fifty years a thief, and had been 75 times arraigned at the Old Bailey and Quarter Sessions, and as often punished. At the Assizes for one of the Midland counties, a woman was tried for the murder of her bastard child ; and after the Judge had taken great pains in explaining the provisions of Lord ELLENsoaouctes Act, the Jury acquitted her of the murder, and found her guilty of concealing :he birth of the child.
