erf the force and description of the ships that were en • gaged, with their fate, and subsequent appearance, when exam ined by our boarding officers. The Turks had three line of battle ships—one 84. and two 74's, with 850 men each. These ceased firing after three hours and a halt engagement, bet never hauled down their colours until the next morning, when two of them were taken possession of, cut adrift, and then allowed to drive on shore, being completely cut to pieces; the other cnt her cables, ran on shore, and was burnt by the crew. 011 the larboard broadside of the Turkish Admiral's ship, there were only nine or ten guns fit for use. the rest being quite disabled. Tire Turks had also 15 frigates, of 50 and 52 guns each, with 450 men. Of these, one blew up with all the crew, alongside of the Albion, four others shared a precisely similar fate, in other parts of the crescent formed, three were driven on shcre, dismasted, bilged, and, being cut to pieces, were, with the remaining seven, burnt the next morning. Th e Lgyptians had six double banked (like cut-down 74 's) ftrgates, most magnificent looking ships of their class, carrying, two 64, two 60, and two 50 guns, with from 500 to 550 men. These were nearly all totally de stroyed; one (the Legonais!), bearing the Egyptian Admiral's flag, was driven on shore totally dismasted, , and crippled, one blew up alongside of the Asia, early in the action, two blew up towards night; while drifting about, • one was sunk by the Albion, and une by the Breslau. There were twenty-six corvettes, carrying from twenty-six to twenty guns, and two hundred men each—eighteen of these were Turks, and eight Egyptians. Three of them blew up dining the action, several were burnt on shore the next morn ing (one of which bore the Turkish Admiral's flag), and eight were driven on shore, partly dismasted, and bilged or sunk, some of them appeared only by their masts above the water. There were also eleven brigs—four of which were Turks and seven Egyptians—carrying ten guns, and one hundred and fifty to one hundred and thirty men each. Several of these were destroyed daring and after the action. There were also five fire-vessels ; one was sunk by the Philomel, before exploding; three exploded among the squadron, but only injured their own ships, and set fire to the Scipion's jib. On the 22d of October. of this numerous and powerful fleet, there appeared remaining—one double-banked frigate, and 15 cm vettes and brigs, supposed to be Egyptians and Tunisians, which, by permission, had their colours flying. The Tunisian Admiral's flag only was flying in one of the brigs. There were, besides, about 22 sail of un armed brigs and schooners, called transports. It is this miserable wreck of the Turkish and Egyptian ar ma merit that has now left Navarin, to return to Alexandria. NVe understand that it is Lord Cochraoe's opinion, that .a sound drubbing is the only argument for good beha viour of which the Turks are susceptible. This is equally the opinion of their unwilling, and more en lightened auxiliary in the cause, the Pacha of Egypt; and upon this persuasion it was that he founded the be lief he expressed to several of saw Officers, when his division of the force left Alexandria, that they would 4)ever return again. It has not yet bean raced, that there were 125 guns mounted on the batteries of Na varin, 36 of which, with a mortar, bore upon the an. chorage. It is not generally known, that Navarin is a port belonging to the lonian Islands—that it was sur veyed, as such, about two years since, by order of the' - Governor of Malta, as being within his command. Lord Cochrane set off for London on Thursday, hi yacht being on that day released from quarantine. His nephew, Mr. Sutton Cochrane-arrived with him. The Asia, 84, Captain Edward Curzon, C.B. was taken into dock this day to be repaired, and return to Malta for the flag of Sir Edward Codrington, G C B. The Albion. 74, Captain J. A. Otnmanney, C.B. will be paid eff on Tuesday next. The kose, 18, was paid off on Thursday, by Captain Wellesley. The Grasshopper, 18, Captain Ab. Crawford, was paid wages to-day, and will sad to-morrow for t! e West India Station. The Badger, 10. Captain Crowdy, arrived oa Thursday, from the Cork Station.—These are the only ships at Spithead. In the Harbour :—Victory, Asia, Albion, Blonde, Mersey. Challenger, Wasp, Chanticleer. Beaver, Cracker, Sylvia. The Providence, Ford, for Madras, which sailed on Saturday last, put back on Wednesday, having sprung her foremast, to repair. By a recent order from ibe Admiralty Council, in future all the students in the Royal Naval College who are the sons of Commissioned Officers, are to pay 401. a year each, toward the expenses of the establishment ; and the sons of civilians, or persons not connected with the serrice, are to pay 1001. a year each. There are now of the first description 4.0, and of the second de set iption SO, in the establishment. WEYMOUTH ELECTION—Fas. 16. STATS OT TVS TOLL AT THE DITAILTOSE Of TEM POST. DAY'S POLL. TOTAL. B.

This day were holden the Sessions of the Peace for Nliddiesex, at Clerkenwell; and on Thursday the Old Bailey Sessims will commence. The prisoners for trial at the latter, it is said, will amount to nearly 4.00 before the Grand Juries are discharged; which number, tak ing into account the short period which has elapsed since the last gaol delivery, namely, five weeks, far ex ceeds any precedent. During the past week alone, upwards of 90 persons were committed to Newgate on charges of felony. A large proportion of capital offences, it is understood, will be found in the calendar, several of which are of a very serious description. TheGover soe of Newgate makes an annual report of the number of committals to that prison, with the crimes a nd ~ the manner in which the convicted have b e en disposed of. The following statement will shew the numkers which appear, by the returns of the four last years, to have been Committed in 11124 . . . 2,166 1 825 . . . 2,324 1821 • • . 2,931 1229 . . • 3,020 Thin it is seen, that in the two last years crime has in creased in a most lamentable degree. The difference btu/ten 1824 and 1827 is 840, which forms an addi. boa of about 3 Bths of the former number. The state of the country, with reference to the increase of cri mmal.i2ffenders, is truly alarming ; and those who have dneeted their attention to the subject appear to be alike unabl e to account for the evil complained of as to sug• gest a remedy for it. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BRNCH, Wartsuanvita, pat. is. Aliddiesez Sittings, at Nisi Pries. before Lord Tauvaasau and Common Juries. lINRLAND V. FARIBROTDRIR !SQ. AND OTNERS. This was an action against gise late Sheriffs of Mid dlesex, and two of their Officers, to recover compeasa• tion for alleged false imprisonment. It appeared that the plaintiff, a Gentleman residing at Brighton, being arrested for debt at the suit of a cre ditor, tendered as his bail two persons of the name of Morley and Frost; the one being a tailor in the Strand, and the other a jeweller in the vicinity of Soho-square ; and both being fully competent to enter into the neces sary bond. The officers, however, refused to accept them, until inquirie s h a d been made as to their responsi bility. A delay of several days took place in come. quence, during which time the plaintiff was detained in custody. The bail were ultimately accepted ; and the plaintiff, conceiving that the objections to them in the first instants had been made vexatiously, and that be had been unnecessarily detained in prison, brought the present accloi against the Sheriffs and their Officers. On the part of the defendants, it was contended that no unnecessary delay had taken place in making the inquiries as to the bail ; and two witnesses (Sheriffs' officers) were called to prove that the result of the in quiries in the first instance was not satisfactory. One of them stated that the referee of one of the bail ex pressed his doubts as to his sufficiency. Lord TENTERDEN left it to the jury to say, whether the officers had exercised only reasonable and proper caution in making inquiries into the responsibility of the bail, or whether they had been actuated by impro per motives, and had vexatiously detained the plaintiff in custody. If they were of opinion that the officers had acted boxafule, and had not unnecessarily delayed the plaintiff in regaining his liberty, their verdict must be for the defendants; otherwise, they would find for the plaintiff, with such damages as they thought the case called for. The defendants were bound to take care that both the persons tendered as bail were good and sufficient, otherwise they were liable to an action at the suit of the party in whose behalf the arrest was made. The only question therefore was, whether the , officers had acted hone fide, and without any intention of harassing the plaintiff? The Jury immediately found for the defends ntrt. STEWART V. EDMONDS. This was an action of trover, to recover the value of certain articles of silver plate. The plaintiff, Capt. Stewart, was the administrator of the late Major Wood, who was indebted to the de- fendanr, a respectable silversmith, in a sum of 5004 In February, 1826, she in question (which was of the value of about 250 L) was deposited with the de- 1 fendant by the Major, who died shortly after, without leaving assets sufficient for the payment of his debts.- 1 The defendant, claiming to be entitled to retain the plate in part satisfaction of his demand on Major Wood's estate, refused to give it up to the plaintiff, his adminis- trator, who, in consequence, brought the present action to recover its value. The defendant's shopman deposed to a conversation between the plaintiff and tits/ defendant, subsequent to the death of Major Wood, from which it appeared that the former had consented to the defendant's retaining the plate, in part satisfaction of the debt. There how ever appeared to be some doubt whether this consent had been given pi for or subsequent to - the time of the plaintiff's taking out letters of administration to Major Wood's effects. There was no proof that the plate had been originally deposited by the Major as a security for the debt. Lotd TENTERDIN said it was quite clear that the de fendant wac not entitled to retain the plate, unless the plaintiff, after he had invested himself with the character of administrator, had consented to his so doing ; that, tberefote, was the only question for the Jury to comider. The Jury found a verdict for the defendant. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Fzi. 16. Sittings after Hilary Term before Mr. Justice Pram and Common Juries. EDWARbS V. COOPER. This was an action by an attorney, to recover the 'sum of 1001.165. the amount of his bill of costs for professional services. The defendant, who is a coach builder, some time since entered into a contract with a Lady of fashion, residing in this town, Lady Ramsay, to build a landau. The landau was built, but some dispute arising about the payment, it was agreed that. the matter should be referred to the decision of a Gets. thermals of the Bar, the Hon. Mr. Liw, who made an award,which was, however, subsequently set aside by the Court of King's Bench. The plaintiff was the attorney who was employed by the defendant to conduct this reference, and it was for his services performed on that occasion that the present demand was made. The employment of the plaintiff, and delivery of the bill within the time prescribed by the Act of Parlia ment, was admitted, and the rule made by the Court of King's Bench, directing that the award should be set aside, was put in and read. The ground upon which the Court set it aside was, that Lady Ramsay's attornies had hot received sufficient authority from her, she being a married woman. The defence was, that owing to the plaintiff's negli gence the defendant had received no fruits from the award which had been decided in his favour, and it was therefore contended that he could not now come into Court to claim a compensation for that which he had neglected to do, or which bis inadvertence had been the means of causing the defendant to lose, In support of this argument several cases were cited, in which it had been held that where negligence was proved, an attorney could nut recover. The Jury, however, having been informed by the Learned Judge that he did net see the slightest ground or pretence upon which the claim could be resisted, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1004 SHATTLE V. °MULL This was as actios against Lady Gresley by a stable keeper, to recover the amount of his account for hay and corn delivered, and for the hire of horses. Witnesses were called, who failed to prove the delivery of the hay or corn, but fully established the fact of the hiring of the horses for about three months. The Jury, therefore, by the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 841. ADMIRALTY COURT, Fn. 16. This was the fourth Sessions in the present Term. No Court was, howefer, held, the patent for the appoint ment of the 'new Judge not beieg complete, and the authority of the Surrogates to sit in the interim being doubtful: This forenoon an explosion took place in the shop of Mr. FoRrESQUE, gun•maker, Piccadilly, which shattered several panes of glass, and destroyed the entire front of the window, and set several parts of the shop in flames, which, however, were soon subdued by the workmen on the yremises. Tne accident was cAused by some percussion gunpowder suddenly igniting by the blow of a hammer. Fortunately no person was injured, although several persons were in the shop. SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. The Seventh Anniversary Dinner of ill filesitit,On's Hospital Society' took place on Saturday, at the Lon don Tavern. At half past six o'clock, his 'Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE took the Chair. He was supported on the right by Lord MANNERS, and on the left by 'Lord ELLINBORORON, with several other Noblemen and Members of the Committee. The company was very numerous, amounting to nearly three hundred. Several distinguished vocal performers, under the direction of Mr. Broadhurst, were also in attendance. Immediately after the removal of the cloth, the usual Anthem---.lVon nohisdontine situ sung. The ROYAL Doze, in risinig to give the health of his Majesty, said that he was going to propose a toast in which he felt satisfied that all who were present would mike, for he believed that his Royal Brother had gained the good wishes of all his subjects. He felt on this oc casion that it was due from hint to state, that, since the commencement of this Institution, his Majest y had regu larly contributed the annual sum of one hundred pounds; that he bad witnessed, with feelings of the most gratify. ing nature, its continued success, and the great blessings which flowed from it.not to British seamen alone, but to seamen of every nation and clime. He felt satisfied that his Majesty would continue to give the Society his zealous and cordial support. The health of his Majesty was then drank with the usual honours. " Goa save the King" immediately followed. Lord ELLassostovois said, that io rising to propose i the health of the Illustriotia Personage who had done them the honour of presiding on the occasion, he did not do so simply of one who filled the most elevatid situation in the British dominions, with all the zeal and ability which were necessary for so important a trust, but of one who bad ever blended the character of an English seaman with the accomplishments of an English Gentleman—of one who had ever shewa himself the friend of the distressed, and the supporter of every In stitution having for its object the relief of suffering humanity. The Noble Lord concluded by proposing the health of the Lord High Admiral of England, which was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The ROYAL DUKE said, that be felt sincerely grateful at the manner in which his name had been received— the British navy had been ever dear to him; and if any part of the Noble Lord's speech had gratified him more than another, it was that wherein he had honoured him with the title of the British seaman, and the no less de sirable character of the English Gentleman. He could I look back with feelings of pleasure to the time when, a boy of fourteen, he had heal placed by his father in the Navy, there to seek his own fortune, and to look for that fame to which every British seaman should aspire; and he must ever look back with gratitude on that father who had thus given him an opportunity of obtaining an insight into the character of those to whom England owed much of her glory. And if, in the course of his education among English seamen, be had attained the h;gh distinct'on of being accounted one of them, it was an honour at which he had ever aimed with zealous emulation—if, in addition to this, be had established the character of an English Gentleman, this too was a source of the highest gratification. His Royal Highness, after a few more observations, proposed " The health of the Royal Family," which was drank with three times three, and a Song—" Now the bright morning star." The next toast was—" The Army and Nary"—three times three. Song—"Jtule Britannia." the Illustrious C HAIRMAN, in proposing to di ink— " Success to the I list itution," dwelt at considerable length on its nature and the great objects which it contem plated. Seven years, he said, bad now elapsed since the establishment of a " Seamen's Hospital Society" in Lon• don. It continued to have for its great object, as at its commencement, the restoration to health and to the ter. vice of their country, seamen of all nations, who were dis. a►led by sickness or disease from continuing to promote her prosperity. It was stated in Coe Repos t, that in the year 1821, when the Society was first established, in con sequence of the low state of their funds they were pre vented from giving admission to mote than 413 pa tients. Succeeding years had added much to the num ber, and the Committee, during the past year, were enabled, through the liberal subscription, of its benefac tors, to extend medical aid and relief to 2,736 seamen of all nations. He hoped, therefore, it would be seen that this institution was worthy of the support of those who could commiserate the afflicted and dis tressed, when suffering humanity called forth every charitable feeling which belonged to man, and be felt confident that that support which for many years they had experienced, would be still extended with increasing liberality. There was no class of men on the earth so subject to the vicissitudes of life as seamen, who while seeking for the honour and advancement of their country, had forsaken their homes and all that rendered life agreeable. Ther fore, when sickness prevented them from using those faculties for the prosperity cf their country, it became those especially who bad derived benefit firm their labours to come forward in the sup port fso important, so noble an institution ; and here he would call upon the British merchants, whose duty and interest it was to unite their zealous endeavours in striving to promote its future and more extended benefit. " Seems to dm Seamen's Hospital" was then drank with throe times three, with loud acclamations. Sorg, by Mr. flawsuasv, " The anchor's weighed." The Bova& Duca then proposed, " Lord Viscount Melville, President of the lustitution," three times ans. Song, by Mr. Tavecia, " New Inventions." On the healths of the Elder Brethren of the Trinity House being drat k, Capt. Woommoaa returned thanks. Lord Toastuorow, after pronouncing a warm eulo. gium on the distinguished character of the Duchess of Clarence, proposed her Royal Highness's health, *hid was drank with acclamation. The ROYAL CHAIRMAN returned his sincere thanks for the honour conferred upon his wife, and entreated the Meeting to believe that his Royal Highness felt deeply interested in the welfare of the Society—(Applause). On the healths of the Committee of Management being drunk, Captain Barna:4 R.N. Chairman of the Committee, addressed the company to the following effect :—I am requested by the Committee of Management to return our best thanks to your Royal Highness and the Gentle. men present, for the honour we Wave received; and it is with very great pleasure that on tbitseventh Anniversary of the Institution we can again assure those who have so benevolently supported it, that our most sanguine ex pectations of the misery it would relieve have been inure than realized. The Report which I hold in my hand will shew, that instead of SOO (which was the greatest number originally calculated on) ao less than 11,736 seamen have, during the last year, been cured and re stored to :heir country; and I think I do not overstate the case when I say that at least a fourth of these would either have perished, or, at all events, have become unfit for further service at lea, if this Institution for their relief had not existed. We have to repeat our warmest thanks for the continued assistance we have received from the depatintent over which our illustrious Vice Patron presides, vitro bas done us the honour to take the chair here this day:—an assistance without which the funds of the Hospital would have been inadequate to its support, ndtwithstanding the care and economy with which they have been administered by mar Superinten% dant, Lieut. MlCrery, and our Surgeon, Mr. Arnot, to whose merits, as w e l l as those of ourChaplaits, Mr..lonet, and our Visiting Ph y sicians, lirs.Mackinnon and Roberts, we are happy to have an opportunity of bearing this pub- lic testin eny. The Rep tt to which I have Ailedy re' ferred will shell the present state of the foe& of the Charity: It will be sbeh how much good ha's been accomplished at a very small expense. The liberal do. nations collected at . the last Anniv e r sa ry Di nne r ; 2 (amobnting to above ,00014 have enabled us to defray the espenses of the past year without breaking in on our little capital, and we confidently hope that the success whikh has hithetto attended oar efforts; will encourage Out friend to continue and increase their support —a support which has beets most gratefully received by the odor sufferers to whom it has been extended, and which cannot fail to produce the best effect: on their minds; by attaching than snore firmly and faithfully to the Ouvernrisent and the country; which thus relieves their distresses—(Much cheering).

[worth, on Saturday sennight, and immediately found a fox, which aimed the vale to Water Eaton, then doubled back to Hanningtoo, Berrytown, and shining Staunton, wade direct for Senningtos I being here bud pressed, lie crossed tie water for Stain 'a Wick Cover. But here he was not allowed to rest ; fur five couple of staunch hounds stuck close to his brook leaving the remainder at the brook. He then made right ahead for 1/6ngton wood, where he arrived ha safety, the earths bring open. The chase lasted awe hours and 20 minutes, without a check, over a heavy country of 10 milts. Lord Kiltoun rode three horses, and oat of ISO horsemen only ten were up with the leading hounds when Reynard arrived home. One extraordinary circumstance occurred. Richard Strange, Esq. rode *is favourite hunter at the brook ; the horse when on the bank/found it impossible to clear it; and, unable to recede, was under he necessity of going in. Mr. Strange had the presence of mind take hold of the branches of a willow tree over his bead, and sli ing from his stirrups, arrived on terra firma in safety. Mama took same of the most daring leaps ever re collected bf the most experienced sportsmen. Wednesday, the 6th instant, the Duke of Rutland's hounds started a fox in the lordship of ranby, in the vale of Belvoir, and after a severe run of more than an hour, Rryuard (on his return home, being hard presaed,) entered the village of Barnston. near Bin g ham, where, mounting some cora ricks, he gained summit of a pretty high farm house, and descended a chimney, into a parlour, through the window of which he was seen viewing his pursuers Upon the inmates of the house endeavouring to eject him from the , apartment of which he had so unteremomiously taken possession, he set their efforts for that purpose at defiance, and of his own choice partly ascended the sable passage down w hich he had so recently made his Ingress into the dwelling, and finding a loolLement therein, be bellied all the arts which could be devised to dispbce him from kis new station, and some straw was set on fire at the bottom of the shaft, when he, poor fellow, who seemed proof against soot and dust, acknowledged that he was not proof against smoke, as he reluct antly came down from his hold, and being seized by the huntsman, he was carried into the yard, and thrown amongst the hounds, amidst a very large assemblage of equestrians and pedestrians, noble and ignoble. The death halloo of the huntsmen, the barking of the hounds ' and the shouts, the screams, and the groans of the mixed multitu de, were distinctly heard at Wharton, a distance of nearly three miles.
