Davis, which appeared in a Morning Newspaper in the form of a letter to the Editor. In the course of last Term application was made to file an information against the Pt inter and Publisher of the Paper, but in consequence of a discovery that the letter was in the hand-writing of Mr. Henry Grattan, the Court was moved in the Present instance against him. The COIMON &rims NT stated that he had an affida vit proving the hand-writing; also that of Mr. Davis, eenying every part of the libel.—The Court granted a rule to chew cause. COURT Or CONDION PLEAS,.MAY 10. ELLwORTHY V. BIRD. Mr. Serjeant l'Emte moved for a rule to shew cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, which was tried in Somerset, before Mr. Serjeant BoSAN QUET. The ground of action was for an assault by the defendant on his wife, and the question turned upon the discontinuance of several indictments pending against the defendant, who, it appeared, had been already in the three Courts in Westminster. The Lotto CHIEF Jus=E.—Take a rule to shew cause; hut I hope the husband will come to his senses before the day of trial, and let the matter rest. ARCHES COURT, MAY 10. BRUCE V. BRUCE. This was a suit instituted for a nullity of marriage by reason of a former marriage. The husband has been convicted of bigamy, and is now on board the hulks, where he has been served with a citation, but no appearance has been yet made to it. The Proctor there fore prayed that the husband might be pronounced in contempt.—Agreed to. WILKINSON, LATE LAWES V. GORDON. This was an application on the part of Mrs. Wilkin son, late Miss Lawes, for letters of administration of the property of her deceased sister, Elizabeth Lames, who she alleges died intestate, and a spinster. The allegations set forth, that Thomas Gordon, to whom the deceased was married in September, 1818, was previously married to Harriet Cole, and that the said Harriet Cole being alive at the period of the second marriage, it became no legal marriage. It goes on to state that Thomas Gordon had offered bribes to diffe• rent parties who were acquainted with the former mar-1 tinge, to hind them to sect ecy, and that a titre bill had been found ,at the Easter Sessions, 1820, at the Old Bailey, against Thomas Gordon, for bigamy, who was . thereon tried and convicted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. In reply to these allegations it is averred, that the first . wife, Harriet Cole, turned out a most profligate ,woman, t'eserted her husband, and was soqie time aim . admitted into St. Thomas's Hospital, under the name of Mary . White, where she died on the Bth of July, 1815. That 'prior to the indictment being preferred against him for bigamy, placards had been issued °tithing a reward of 301 : for evidence of the existence of the first wife, at the time of the second marriage, and that sub sequent to h's conviction, a memorial had been trans mitted to hi.: Majesty, who had thereon graciously granted hin• his fiee pardon. It is Wither averred that the property of his second wife had been bequeathed to him by well. An exceoinn Was al , o put in to the evi2ence of Emma Baker, who on the trial swore positively to hav:og seen the first wife after the second marriage, On board a vesel off nytnouth, a: which time she was pa•sing by the name of Lady Rodney a luong the sea men on hoard. The exception is groluideJ on an affi davit, which stated that the female alluded to had beet Ei!;ce confronted with Emma Baler, who then acknow ledged herself to be nii•attken, and that the real n::me of the fernabe who had acquired the appella j tio of Lady Rodney was Charlotte Lindsell. Counsel were heard at kneth nn both sides, and judgment deferred till next Thur,day. S-3turd:ty Fen:ligl;Can alatin u?, and fatal accident happened at Patticroft, in Lottolhe, by the but szing of a steam-engine boiler, at the facto y of Messrs. Rooth and Comi.anv, cotton-spinners. The boiler was one of about tinily-horse power, which had been con demned as .unfit for u•e; a new one was put up, and would have been at work a week before the accident occurred, had not the plan 41 - setting up the flues faired. The immediate cause of the accident was the fastening down the junction valve, which connected the boiler with the main pipe. Six men were blown up with the boiler, one killed, and auother dangerously scalded. At the Manchester Theatre, on Monday se'nnight, a large beef bone was thrown with great force from the front of the gallery of the Theatre, into the pit, where it fell upon the head of a female who sat near the or cliestra, and glancing off, struck wiLli great violence against the partition which divides the otchestra from the pit. Search war made in the gallery for the perpe trator of this outrage, and a man named Wm.Jowett, a butcher, was pointed out by several persons as the in dividual who had thrown the bone. Ile was taken into custody, and, with another butcher, named John Smith, who was in his company, was conveyed to the New Bailey. They underwent an examination on Tues day, before the Magistrates, when Juwett was held to • bail for the assault. The following is a literal and genuine copy of a humorous Petition, which came last L under the Consideration of the Lot ds of the Trea4m y, by whom it was remitted to the Commissioners of Stamps, with a favourable recommendation: •• To the Noble Lords and Gentlemen of his Majesty's (Goo bless him) Treasury.

Yesterday a very- numerous and highly respectable meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, of the supporters of the Society for ptomoting Religious In struction to - the .. .Seamen of the Port of London. Lord Gambier was in the Chair. His Lordship stated the objects of the meeting, and after an appropriate prayer the Report of the Committee was read, which contained many interesting details of the good effects produced uFon Seamen by the Floating Chapel in the Thames; by the distribution of 3 Books and Tracts among Sailors ; and by other means adopted by the Society. The Report was received with universal approbation. Several Gentlemen addiessed the meeting in animated speeches, and appropriate Resolutions were agreed to. BRITISH IND FOBL•IUN SCHOOL SOCIETI, ES. Yesterday the Annual Meeting was held at the Free masons"l'avern. The system of education is the. Lancal terian. There must have been upwards of 2,00 n F e. sons present, and they were of the most respectable description. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in tire Chair. The report stated, that the Committee had proceeded in multiplying the central schools, and that auxiliary societies had been instituted in the chief manufactu:ing towns. The labours of the Committee were not limited to any sect, persuasion, or religion, but purisosed to ex tend education through the world to ;01 nations and religions. Their general plan was, however, to give a Bible education. The Society's books of instruction had been translated, and printed in the French, Spanish. German, and Russian languages ; and editccion was, through their means, making rapid strides in Ireland, There wet e more than 1,000 schools in conns Lion with the Society, for the education of the poor in that count y. Most of the outrages which had taken place in that un fortunate country were committed in those districts where the poor were worst educated, and the Society considered the call for education most eowerful looking to the calamities of It eland —(Chsyrs). In the Scotch islands education was advancing; but la Fr ance and Spain, strong repugnance appeai ed to I , e w the propagation of the British system. In Rinis, however, there were 5,000 scholars on the system, and it was to be hoped that the establishment formed there and in Spain before the late changes would not be permitted to be extinguished. From Greece, and several of the islands of the Grecian Archipelago, the accmints of the preparations for the generll education on the system were most flattering ; and there was no doubt that, in the event of the success of the Greeks (for which every friend of Christianity and human improvement must pray), Greece would be re i ;enerated, and prove once more conspicuous fur all that was great and good (Loud cheers). In South America the system was gene• rally adopted, and, in fact, it went hand in hand with every effo:t for the improvement of the condition of man. The Report was received with great applause, when Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. BorroN, M.P. and other Gen tlemen, addressed the Meeting at considerable length on the benefits arising front the Institution. Thanks were voted to the ROYAL CilA IRMA N, who rose and said, that he felt himself bound to support every Institution for which his late Father had had a respect, and to which he rendered his support. The company, on separating, entered into a hand some subscription. YORK.SIIIRE WCIET'S: Yesterday the thi:teeuth Anniversary Meeting of thel Yorkshire Society for maintaining, clothing, and edit caring the children of indigent Yorkshilo parents resi-' dent in the metropolis, was held at the London Tavern. The dinner was served up at a quarter beim e seven' o'clock, his Royal Ilighness the Duke of YORK in the Chair, supported on his right by the Earl of Lonsdale and the Right Hon. John Beckett, and on his left by the Earl of Harewood, Sir Henry light Wilson, Mr. leerman B idges, &c. His Majesty's health was drank with four times four. The Earl cf LossnaLE then 'lmposed the health a, their Loyal C;iairman, which was thank with applause. The Duke of roux, in re:urning thanks, hoped that he never had stained the white rose of York, and as sui ed the.n it would be ever his pride to maintain its character—( 4 plqausr). After the otittr usual toasts of the Royal Family were given, the children supported by the It“itution were introduced, and the 'Treasurer read the subscriptions which were given in the room : 10 guineas. w ere given by the Earl of Lonsdale, 10 guineas were sent by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and by some junior branches of the Halewood family, and similar sums from the partners of the York Bank, and other indivi duals of respectability connected with the county of York, amounting in all to about 3001. The subscriptions in the room w ere then recapitulated, and the Dukeof Yot k quitted the chair at eleven o'clock. The remainder of ti:e boys, 500 in number, belong ing, to the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, attended by their Officers and Music, visited the Grand National Menagerie, at Exeter 'Change. Each boy was regaled with a bun and a glass of wine, and the greatest order and harmony prevailed. . . . The Joul;azi des Debats contains a long article which may be called a funeral oration on the late Duchess of Dxvossut it e. Slie is chiefly praised for her liberal pa troliage of rut and literature, *artists and men of letters at Rome, her excavations and her editions. She caused to be reprinted, with the utmost luxury of typographic and graphic art, the translation (into Italian) of Vir gil, by AN:MAL CARO, the Journey to Brundusium of Horace ; and she designed art edition of Dante, in the same style. Friday last, about ten o'clock in the evening, the London mail-coach, on its way to Edinburgh, was overturned about nine miles to the north of York. The coach was full inside, and there were two passengers on the outside, who were thrown into an adjoining field, but none of them received any material injury. Wednesday se'nnight, a plantation of young trees caught fire on part of the Brown Muir, belonging to the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, in the parish of Middlebie. it was not till the Friday morning, that the flames could be extinguished. The trees have been either to tally destroyed, or more or less injured, over an extent of between twenty and thirty acres.

LONG SPEECHES.—The late Lord ELLINBOROUGH, on one occasion, in the House of Lords, when another Noble Lord had just made a dreadfully long speech, got up and said, " My Lords! my Lords !

Elio Cockburn, a rather interesting looking girl, about fifteen years of age, was charged with attempting to set fire to the house of her master, Mr. Ware, milliner, 42, Skinner-street, Snow-hill. About a quarter past eight o'clock on Sunday evening, Mr. Ware's opposite neighbours perceiving an extraordinary light through the attic windows, gave the alarm, when it was discovered that one of two beds that are in the room was in a blaze; but by prompt exer tions the fire was extinguished, not, however, until the bedstead, the hangings, the sacking, and the bed-ticking had been nearly-de stroyed. The prisoner, who has been with Mr. Ware about nine months, and has exhibited a most mischievous disposition, bad been kept to her room, on the floor beneath the attics, for the last week, on account of some misconduct; and this coercion, coupled with the knowledge that Mr. Ware, after trying without success to place her in the Refuge for the Destitute, or the Penitentiary at Poston %rifle, had determined to apply to get her passed to her settlement, the parish of Bermondsey, stimulated her, it is conjectured, to the rash act of revenge of setting fire to her nia,ter's house. The ab sence of all the family except Mr. Ware and a lad, gave her ample opportunity to obtain, unperceived, a light from the kitchen, and apply it under the bed. Suspicion immediately fell on the prisoner, who was fnu td in bed in her own room; she denied her guilt, how. ever, for ve.l:e iirm, but at length confessed it to Mrs. Ware. Tire pz i titer made nu reply when asked by :%Ir. Alderman SC 110 LEY if she had aLything to say; and was remained, that her friends mily lie made acquainted with her situation. She wzis composed, but seemed sensible of the magnitude of her imputed crime, the perspiration glistening on her lace. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Jilin Forster, the landlord of the Prince of Wales public-house, at lhompton, and William Hurne and John Bradley, two officers of the County Celina Requests of Middlesex, in Kings gate-street, were brought before Sir R. limas, by Wootton, one of the patrol, charged with committing a most extraordinary outrage upon the person of \ :iss Sidney Cowell, a lady residing at Brompton. Miss Cowell, who appeared in very delicate health, ana gave her evidence under the influence of strong aeitation, was ordered by the Magistrates to have a chair ; aud having been sworn, she stated, that she reside; with her mother, who is a widow, and keeps the house No. CO, Yothapiaee, Queen's Rims, Brompton. They were in the habit of letiieg lodgings ; and some time ago a halipay officer of the name of lloy sten, boarded and lodged with them. When he had bean there suate our •''', he became embarrassed, and quitted the lodeines were consider ialy in her mother's debt. lie contracted severai o:her dents hi tine neighbourhood, and among them was a were at the Prince of Wales, kept by the defendant Foster, for beer and other liquor;. Waen Foster learned that Mr. Royston was gone, he applied to v. imess's mother for payment of his hill. She, however, toil him that she was herself a great loser, and that she could no: of esierse be answerable for the debts of at:other person. Faster was nat sea isfied, and he repeeted his chits sesa:ral times, behaving in a viaietit and abusive manner to her and her mother. A: Iona.;: he came with two or three other persons, late one evtaa ine, and contacted Itimetlf in such a mentier, that .sirs. Cnwell and witness Marti it necessary for their own s ifety, to request the advice of their neiaidatere, wao urged them to take out a peace-warrant against tile defendent. They did so, and Foster was tahen on a warrant to Queen-square, and held to bail in a recognizance of 501. to keep the peace. in a very few days after this, a summons from the County Caw, directed to." Mary" Cowell (her mother's name), and Cahill g epee ber to appear to answer to a debt, of 11. 19;. 11d. due to dohn Foster, was ft/I:Ild in the area by their servant ; but her mother knowing that she did net owe a fatthing to Foster, resolved to take nu notice of it. Witness had been for some time in a very delicate state of health, at,d was in bid on Fri day eveniug,when a little boy rapped at the front door, and informed the servant wboanewe:ed it, that sonic Geutlemen wanted her mis tress at the garden-gate. 'hoe servant saw two carts standing at the gate, in one of which was a woman, and the defendants Hurne and Bradley were near the door. There were two other men with them. She asked them to give their names, but they refused, and rushed into the house. The witness, hearing the noise, had left her room, and was at the top of the stairs in her night-dress only, and w itheut shoes. Dorne and Bradley seeing her, ran up stairs, and seizing her by the arms, informed her that they bad a warrant in execu tion from the Comity Court, and she must go with their. to prisou, Iler mother was at that moment alas= on a visit to the medical Gentleman who had attended witness, and she informed them of that fact, at the same time assuring them that she (witness) was not the person against whom the warrant was directed. Horne said he knew that, but it was exactly what he wanted; adding," I'll serve you out for taking my client to Queen-square. I'll teach you to be fan(' of Queen square." She, in an agony of mind not to be de ' scribed, implored them to wait untie her mother returned, and offered to pay them any slim of money if they would quit the house; but the reply was, that it was not money they wanted; they would not take a hundred pounda ; all they wished fur was her body. She then requested permission to return to her room and dress herself, but that was refused, and with oaths and language such as had never before met her ears, and which sae hoped it was nut necessary she should repeat, they dragged her down stairs. One of the men in the interim latched Foster front his house, and in his presence the same theausthig language was repeated; amain spite of her tears and entreaties, she was dragged to one of the carts and placed in it. The men pulled up her clothes, and behaved in the most indecent manner to her.—(here the witness burst into tears, and was un able to pr.ceed.l—!Turing the petpetratiou of the outrage, they said, among other things, that the house was a house of ill-(ante; aud one of them boasted that lie had slept in it with the witness', sister, and said that she (winless) was drunk at that moment. She was finally driven to Whitecross-street Prison, where she was found on Saturday by her mother in a deplorable state. Mary Kelly, the servant, coiroberr.ed the foregoing statement, and detailed the particulars or the language used by the defendants. She ran to call in assistance, but was too late. Mrs. Mary Cowell, the mother, was also heard in corroboration, as far as her kn!iwlialge went. A Solicitor, will attended for Foster, stated in behalf of his client, that he had w,-;ea the complainants with beer, .64. c. for a long titre, and that Sidney Cowell always paid the bibs, and appeared to be the mistress of the tmise; and I‘lr. Foster therefore considered himself right iu serving her with the process. Sir It. Blame—But do you call the throwing a summons down the area a service? Solicitor—The complainants have admitted reerieing the sum mons, and whether it was Mrs. Cowell's debt or cut, she ought to have appeared and defended it. Borne, in his defence, denied that he had used the violence pined to him, and produced his warrant, alleging that hr had only acted in the performance of his duty in taking Miss Cowell's person. Sir it. lhamt asked for the warrant, and on behig strewn a copy, said—"'Phis is directed against s Mary' Cowell, and yolk appre hended S;diley ' Cowell. It is clearly a false arrest upon your own showing, and you may rely upon it I shall look very closely to this case. I will not allow the liberty of the subject thus to be trifled with, and especially whets it is done under the colour of authority." Brataley said he went merely to assist Horne, and denied the vio lence. He and Horne said the witnesses would swear anything. Miss Cowell and her mother said they had lived for years in re spectability in the neoabourhoud, and could adduce ample proof of their integrity. Sir 11Utu think this is the grossest instance of the viola tion of the liberty so, the sul•ject th it ever came under my cogni- ZMICe. /find over the parties to prosecute, Mr. Richmond (the clerk), and I will write to Mr. Heath, the Judge of the County Court, to acquaint him with the conduct of his officers. The witnesses were bound over, and the three defendants were held to bail is 501. and two sureties in 251. each. Last week, Catherine Glin, aged sixty, was safely de livered of a daughter in the Limerick Lying-in-Hospital. C'HUNTHIAN.—The origin of this slang appellation, which has l:een lately applied to the Tom and Jerry tribe of rioters, is not generally understood, but is to he found in the First Part of Henry IV. The paisage is as fol lows :—Prince Henry says, speaking of the familiarity of the Drawers at the Boar's Head Tavern," They take it upon their salvation, that though I be but Prince of Wales, yet I am the king of Courtesy ; and tell me flatly I am no proud Jack, like Faiste; but a Corinthian, a lad of mettle, a good boy—by the lord, so they call me; and when I am King of England I shall command all the good lads in East Cheap. Dr. JOHNSON'S ex planation of Corinthian is "A wenchei." Mr. STEEVENS says, " This cant expression ircommon in old plays." So Randolph, in The Jealous Lovers, 1632, ---" Let him wench, • " Buy me all Corinth for him." " Non euivus homini-comingit adire Coringium." The word Corinthian is only once mentior.ed by SHAM' SPEAREi in the .passage above noticed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING-EOOll4, TATTERSALL'S, MAY 10.
