Pasaiew--- - prisoner within the pti.o of the King's Bench, would rave induced her to di,c::arre the plaintiff's account, for the sake of ohtaining her liberation? She had now been in close confinement since the llth of October, and had made no prop•sal of the-sort, and from bee having paid no other creditor, it might be doubtful it she ever had had the means of satisfying the plaintiff's demand. The Jury retired for about 20 minutes, and brought in a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £ll9 18s. 4J. PARTRIDGE V. COATS. This was an action under the statute of usury, brought to recover treble the amount of illegal interest taken by the defendant, a cloth-dealer, in St. Martin's-lane, upon his discounting certain bilis of exchange. The declara tion stated the payment in consideration of the bills to h see been made on the 3d July last, but on examining the first witness, it appealed that he had received from the defendant, in consideration of the bill of exchange, a check on a banking-house, which was not paid until •the sth of that month. Mr. DENMAN submitted that this difference was fatal to the action. Nothing was so absolutely essential, in an action for usury, as that the periods of time for which the interest was charged should be correctly stated, and that if the time was not accurately set forth upon the record, no offence had been committed against the Act of Parliament. Mr. PoLLocK, on the same side With Mr. DRNMAN, argued that it was absolutely necessary that the day upon which the money was lent should be stated. The necessity was not to state the day of contract, but the day Of lending \ the money. This constituted the very essence of the crime. Mr. SCARLET? contended, that it was, not necessary to prove the time of lending the money, but only to prove what the declaration set forth, and that the plain tiff had done. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—It must appear on the declaration that the interest taken is mote than five per cent. and unless the precise pei lost be stated, this cannot be ascertained. In this case, the period is not sliewn, unless the period be taken as the third of July, which had been negatived by the witness; if that day were left out, the record amounted only to a simple allega tion, that the interest was taken from the time of lend ing the money.—Plaintiff nonsuited. BLANDER—ADAMS P. KELLY. This action was brought by Mr. Knightly Adams, commonly called Quaker Adams, against Mr. Kelly, of Paddington, to recover damages for slanderous words. The words set out in the declaration were proved by Mr. Edmonds, a Reporter for the Observer, who stated, that happening to be at one of the Police-offices in Oc tober last, he met the defendant there. The defendant asked if he had heard of the unfortunate circumstance at Paddington-green? and said it would make a good case for the newspaper. Mr. Edmonds said no. The defendant then invited him to go to a public-house, and offered to make him acquainted with the circum stance. They went. to a tavern, the Prince of Wales. The defendant then asked, if he knew a man named Knightly Adams? He was well known as a broker and agent for canal shares. Mr. Edmonds said he had , heard the name before. The defendant then said, Mr. Adams had been found that morning suspended on a hewn in his kitchen ; he added, that pecuniary difficul ties was the cause of the rash act, and that he knew a widow Lady who would be a loser by his defalcation to the amount of 13001. Those were the words, and the statement was publi.hed in the Observer, under the head—" Suicide." Mr. Connor, another witness, who was present when Mr. Kelly made the communication, confirmed the scaternert of Mr. Edmonds. Mr. GURNEY, on the part of the defendant, stated that the communication was made by his client, 'with cut any malice. He had heard it the same morning, from several persons at Paddington. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the defendant had invited the Reporter no publish the slander, and the Jury ought to consider what damages the plaintiff ought to receive for the charge made against his clia racte:.—The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 20/. Costs, 40s. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DECEMBER 14. "thdpiii(S .101 in Pagel came up to be heard on his petition to be discharged, and was opposed by Mr. HEATH, on behalf of Messrs. Beans and Company, upholsterers, St. Paul's Church-yard, and Mrs. Blunt, lirren-clraper, Charing-cross. The insolvent is a young man, a dentist, and stated himself to be the natural son of Sir Ed. Paget. Being asked whether he ever called pr signed himself the Hon. A. Paget, he denied it; but a note being shewn him which he had written to a fur niture-broker with whom he had some transactions, for a kari of ten shillings, and addres-ed—" Mr. Fasten, broker to the Honourable A. Pagel," he admitted, with son:e reluctance, that it was his hand. w titing.—Farren stated, that he first saw the insolvent in April last, at which time he called on witness to s ell hi m a p i ano . ii4rte. Witness went to his lodgings to see the instru ment; there was scarcely any tut niture in his lodgings. la the month of July, the insolvent brought witness to his lodgings again ; they were then well furnished with new fumitur e, which he told w itness Lord Stanhope ha] bestowed on him ; but as his uncle, the Marquis of Anglesea, was going to furnish a hiusc for him, he wished to dispose of the furniture then in his lodg ings. Witness purchased some of the furniture from him. He told switness at the time, that he was then suffering under temporary embarrassments; but he would soon have fifteen thousand a year again. —T,.o clerks of Messrs. Beans and Co. stated, that, in the month of May last, the insolvent "purchased furni ture at their LO.Ase, to the amount of 801. for which, he said, he anal pay on the 10th of July, when his divi dends would be paid, which were received for him by the' Drummonds, his hankers. lie toll them that he was the son of Sir Edward Paget, and referred them to Lord 1 11 ,q;et. They did not apply to Lord Paget, because they generally avoid applying to Noblemen: but they made inquiries of shop-keepers in Newport -street, ss here he lodged, and giving credit to his own representations they supplied the goods. When the time of payment came they found it impossible to get the money, 'and beard that the insolvent was selling and pledging the furniture, in consequence of wbich he was arrested—, Mr. Saunders, a cies k in Messrs. Drummond's bank, proved that they did not receive any dividends for the, insolvent, and that he bad no account in their hou.e. The Marquis of Anglesea, Sir E. Paget, and Lord Paget,"hase accounts in their house. A clerk of Mrs. Blunt% proved that the insolvent pur chased upwardvf 501. worth of linen on credit, which as eniiered to him at the Union Hotel, Oxford street. • The insolvent being questioned about the dispiisal of the liven, said it was almost all stolen by his servant, In the course of the examinaticin, it appeared that the insol • ,S.-k • vent had not presented his petition within fourteen days after his arrest as required by The Act, and had in' consequence been obliged to apply to the Court for leave to petition, on which o:casion he was bound to state any disposition he had made of any part of his pro perty after his arrest; and it further appeared that he had sold several articles of furniture, between the time of his arrest and his application to the Court for leave to petition, which he had not stated. His petition was in consequence dismissed, the Court declaring that he could not be heard on a petition which he had not en titled himielf to present. E EVEN ING -STAR LONDON.

We have given an article from them in a preceding column, on the subject of Brazil, in which it is stated that Por tugal will not recognize its independence. The terms proposed are not likely to be accepted by the Brazi lians, nor does the mother country appear to be making any efratt to be in a condition to enforce them, if refused. From the 17th of this month, corps of French troops will daily arrive at Bayonne, from Spain. We are without any later intelligence from St. Pe tersburgh than that given in the STAR of yesterday, but private accounts represent the calamity occasioned by the inundation as most dreadful. So great was the confusion, that it was utterly impossible to ascertain the loss of lives and property. One letter states, that ten thousand persol? perished; another says, that 16,000 others were deprived of all they possessed, and were wandering about the streets in a state of the wildest dis traction, bewailing the loss of their telations and friends. —The EMPEROR, who was an eye-witness of the afflict ' ing scene, personally exerted himself, together with the Nubility, to rescue the people in boats. One of the bridges, which are constructed of wood, was driven with great violence on shore, houses were swept away, and the whole city presented a scene of desolation perhaps unparalleled. Provisions of every description were de stroyed, and the dreid of famine added to the general calamity, as the inhabitants of the neighbouring sib. lages, which had been destroyed, fled to the capital in hopes of shelter and relief. The following is a private letter from the Russian capital, dated 23d November:—" This city was visited on the 7th (19th) inst. by an inundation greater than has I ever been recollected before, the consequences of which are incalculable. For several days previously a consi derable swell had been observed in the river, and as tht water continued to rise, it became evident that the strong westerly winds, which prevail a good deal about this season, must be Caging with great violence in the Gulph. On the evening of the 6th (18th), the water was too much agitated for any boats to attempt the passage. Signal lamps were hoisted at the Admiralty to warn such of the inhabitants as reside in low places of their apparent danger. This, however, occasioned no general alarm, being a circumstance which frequently occurred. During the night, however, the wind becoming more boisterous, and the waters still rising, alarm guns were constantly filing, for the purpose of enforcing the ne cessary precaution. On the morning of the 7th (19th) I went to the counting-house, and with the greatest ;ME. cult) , passed the bridge, the wind raging with such vio lence, that I could scarcely retain my position.— I walked-along the quay facing the river, the waters of which I remarked were particularly high, but I had no apprehension of its overflowing its boundaries.. I had not, however, been long in the counting-house, which is situated by the riser side, wheWit began to iise with an almost inconceivable rapidity,' and at length converted the whole quay, and the adjoining streets and squares, into an entire lake. Rafts, bbats, houses, beds, and in fact every article which we had, were carried along by the torreat, which swept away bridges, quays, and everything which could impede it, with almost supernatural power. Large blocks of granite we, e wrenched from their places like pebbles. —Many of the authorities of the city were in large , barges in the principal streets, endeavouring to save the inhabitants, all persons living on the ground floor being under the nece.,sity of quitting their rooms. During the night the water went down, and disclosed such a spectacle as could hardly be equalled by a city ran sacked by the most merciless enemy. Human bodies, horses, cows, and other beasts, houses, timber, &c. s cattered promiscuously about the streets. Upwards oil ten thousand persons are computed to he lost, and many thousands are without shelter or coveting. The mer chants suffer greatly, and English property will be in- cluded to an immense amount." The German Papers assert positively, that a Treaty of Commerce has been concluded between the Grand Dukes of HESSE and BADEN, which not only enunciates in its preamble principles extremely favourable to the freedom of trade, but in the subsequent articles makes a practical application of those principles to the com mercial relations of the two countries. It is gratifying to us, as Englishmen, to reflect that our own country has in this instance, as in so many others, set the ex ample of an enlightened liberality; but it is still more gratifying to us to find that the clear vievi s and just sen timents width his MAJESTY'S Ministers have declared in the British Parliament, find their way into the Cabi nets of Continental Sovereigns, and are admitted and acted upon by the best informed statesmen in those counts ies. It is stated that the Courts of Baden and Hesse have applied to the King of WURTEMBERG, who has in con sequence opened negociations with the King of BAVA RIA, for the extension of the same principles of free trade. During the last year conferences were held at Darmstadt, wherein this subject was fully handled; and the Ministers of Baden, Hesse, and Nassau main tained the cause of free trade. At that time the Bava rian Government resolutely adhered to the system of real entrep6ts, with heavy duties paid on the frontiers. It is now hoped that Bavaria will relinquish her ad herence to these vexatious regulations, and will adopt the more beneficial system of the Grand Ducal Courts. THE KING. WINDSOR, DECEMBER 14. Yesterday, after his MAJESTY had inspected the nu merous alterations making in the exterior of the Castle, he was conducted by Mr. JEFFREY WYA - TTVILLE to the model of that noble edifice previous to the general im• provements, the south and east parts of which have been for some time completed. His MAJESTY expressed great delight at the workmanship, and gave orders for it to be proceeded with immediately. The KING again stepped into his pony phaeton, and after extending his drive in the Great Park, returned to the Royal Lodge. This day being unfavourable, his MAJESTY has not rode out. Yesterday, Lord F. CONYNOtiAIIe, attended by two of the Park keepers, passed the greater part of the day pheasant shooting, in the preserves, near Flemish Farm. Ilk Lordship killed a couple of woodcocks, and several brace of pheasants. THE CASTLE. The alterations at the Castle still continue with the greatest spirit and activity, and notwithstanding the weather has for some time past been very unfavourable, the progress in the various departments has not been in the least retarded. During the past week extra work men have been employed in covering in the roof of the east side, which is now completed; this will prevent any fall of yain or snow from entering the in terior of the building, and consequently no impediment will arise from the weather. The windows in the drawing and dining-rooms will have a most magnificent appearance, being nearly 90 feet high, and 16 wide, whiCh are in a great state of forwardness. The foun dation of the corridor has risen several feet above the ground, and extends round the east and south sides of the quadrangle. The new entrance, together with " George the Fourth's Tower," have lately made great progress, and already shew the decided improvement made in this majestic and unrivalled Palace. The Cabinet Council, held yesterday at the Foreign- Office, was attended by—The Loan CRIANCELLOS, the Duke of Watxrao.rea, the lark of lavrerooa, Witsessoawia, and B. TMURST, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Mr. Secretary CANNING, the enam el:l.l.oz of the F.:calcium, Mr. HusnssoN, Lord Bann', &c.— The Cabinet Ministers continued in deliberation for upwards of three hours and a half. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of YORK held a Levee, as Cemmander-in-Chief, at his Office, in the Horse Guards, which was attended by—Generals Sir CH ARIAS GRID; and GASCOTNR; Major -Generals Sir WILLIAM HUTCHINSON, Sir RurArris Dwain, Sir H . BOROUGH, and GUARR• Lieutenant- General Marmon, and between thirty and forty o th er Military Officer.—The Lev ee broke up at half-past five o'clock.

It is probable, therefore, that he will return to take a seat in the Cabinet. M. de DAMAS, it is understood, will be removed, to make room for M. de POLIGNAC. The interest of M. de %Timm.' will be strength cued by this change, and the King's wishes satisfied. The town of Gravesend %vas on Thursday last, for the first time, lighted with gas.

CUM' OF KING'S BENCH-THIS WV. THE GAMBLING TRANSACTIONS AT " FISIIMON• GERA' HALL." This morning the Court was'crowded to excess, in the expectation of the trial of the indictments apiinst William Crockford, the alleged manager or proprietor of an establishment for play, in St. James's, known by the title of " Fishmongers Hall." Lord Sefton and some Gentlemen of distinction sat on the Bench. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having disposed of some causes, the King tr. Crockford, was called on., The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose, and observed there was not any prosecution, as there wva no means of proving the case. The LORD CHIEF Aroma, turning to the Jury, in formed them they were discharged, as there was no evidence.—This announcement was received with consi derable disappointment. JOSEPH BROADMANT ORHE V. CROCKIPOED. The same defendant was then called, and a fresh Special Jury being ',sworn, the Officers of the Court informed the Bar, that the case was called on. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, he appeared for the defendant ; but like the last cause, he believed the cast could not be proved, as there were no witnesses. The LORD CHIEF h.:sync—ls there not any Gentle man at the bar engaged for the plaintiff? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL -- I heard, this morning, Mr. Phillips was retained; he was a short time since its the Court. Loan Cuter JUSTICE—Send for him, by all means. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS in a few minutes entered the Court, and addressed !lame observations to his Lordship, the purport of which was, a Wish to have the case with drawn, as he was placed in an extremely awkward pre dicament, having no witnesses to prove his case; the witnesses had been summoned, but he could have affi davits made that they were not present. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, he could not allow the case to be withdrawn, without the consent of all the parties. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, smiling, observed—My Lord, I have no wish on the subject, we will go on. The Clint JUSTICE eventually decided the case must proceed in the usual manner, until the plaintiff became nonsuited. Mr. PATTERSON then stated the indictment to be framed under the statute, against the defendant, for al lowing, at a certain house, known by the name of 44 Fishmongers' Flail," in the parish of St. James's, a certain game of dice, called . 1 hazard," to have been played; and the other counts described sums to have been lost, in the presence of Mr. Orate, to different persons to the amount of 180,0001. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS addressed the Jury, and said they were now in possession of the natore of this case,, and he had the duty of proving that case. A number of witnesses had been summoned, but he rather thought they would not appear. If they did come forward, he was sure they could describe the case in a much abler manner than himself, therefore, he should here close his remarks: The LORD CHIEY JUSTICE—CaII your wgknesses. Mr. PHILLIPS—I will, my Lord, on the subpeenas ; and the Order of Court, in cases of non-attendance, al fixes a penalty. The names of the witnesses being handed in, The Crier commenced, " the Right Honourable Ho ratio Earl Orford, come forward and give evidence."— , ,His Lordship's non-attendance was registered. • Mr. Edward Hughes 13411. was then called, but he did not answer; neither did Mr. Edward More.

Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS—My Lord, this Gentleman'i evidence does not affect the case, he merely proves d""• situation of the house : without the other witnesses I cannot proceed.
