On IP, Saturday lal4, the sad inflant, previous to the review and infpeEtion of the Nithfdale Battalion of the Dumfries-flure Volunteer Infantry, now on per manent duty here, the Honourable M . colarraLs MAXWELL, of Nithfdale, in the named lady, pre fented to the battalion an elegant Itandof colours, richly embroidered. Before delivering the colours into the hands of Lieu tenant Colonel WEIGHT, the Commandant of the Battalion, Mr, MAXWELL, irimfelf the Commander of a body of Volunteer Cavalry railed on his eflates in Yorkfltire, in a fhort, well conceived addrefs, re minded the Volunteers of the important and arduous tali they had undertaken, when they voluntarily united in arms to affia in the defence of their coun try againll the threatened attack of an ambitious, un principled, and fuccefsful ufurper, After the colours had bees placed lithe hands of the Enfigus appointed to carry them, the Comman dant briefly called the attention of the Volunteers to the engagements they w-re now under, of affembling, when called on, around the flandards now placed in the min of them : that indelible !ham would fall on the man who fhould either flinch from his colours When awaiting the enemy's attack, or who fhould lag 'behind when advancing to the charge. He pointed out the value of the gift which they, the volunteers pE Nithiliale,- had jolt now received from the Head tof the ancient and itlultrious Houfe of Nithfdale a -tionte ,with whom fo many of thefts are connerlcd, and from whom fo many of them are defeenaed. The Rey. Mr. YORSTOS7II, of Morton, the Chap lain of the Battalion, next addreffed them ; and, in a dircourfe equally eloquent, convincing, and impref five, pointed out the important duties to their King and Country % which it behoved the Volonteers to dil. charge. He concluded by a prayer, in -the highefl degree appropriate. The battalion immediately afterwards proceeded to paf. in review before Mr. hluasev, of Murray thwaite, the Vice Lieutenant of the County ; Colonel Dove:LAS, the Infpeaing Field Officer of the diariet; and Colonel WALLACI, Commanding Officer of the 88th Regi:aent of Foot, tlationed here ; and after wards performed various evolutions and firings. The number of the battalion that appeared under arms on this occafion amounted to about 640 men, betides officers ; a very (mall part only being abfer.t. Before the battalion was marched from the field, the Vice Lieutenant and the Infpe:ling Field Officer expreffed in very pointed terms their entire approba tion of the appearance of the battalion under arms, and the fleadinefs and exadnefs of their movements. Yeaerday, precifely at eleven in the forenoon, the remains of the late ARTHUIL MURPHY, Efq. were removed from hi. late apartments at Knightfbridge, and interred between the hours of one and ►wo, in the fame grave with his beloved Mother, who died many ' , eats fine, and was buried in the Church yard at Harnmerimith. A plume of feathers preceded the hearre, and thret Mounting coaches followed. In the &It were -Mr; fuss Foor. the forgeon, executor to the de- 1 'leafed ; and the twoMeffrs.THOMPSONs of Chefwick, Gentlemen highly elteemed by their departed ftiend. s l the tb , r coaches were Mr. FITEM•UkICE.

The l', 1 •11 Weflinintter St. Anc'.rcw and St. George the Si. Gilt- ,•,d St. George's Martyr Duke of Gloucatcr's Loyal North Beam Clerk et.wcll - Gray's Inn Rifle Corps. • Each battalion man had to rounds of anonnnition, and each flanker zo rounds. They were in the field from two o'clock till near nine in the evening, during which time they were put through all the 18 mancu vres, and performed them with great fp:rit and pre cifi( n. The mullets were in general good. The Loyal Southwark, Colonel A LCOCK, had a grand field day at Kennington on Tuefday, and af terwards moll loyally agreed to volunteer their fer vices to go on permanent duty for 14. days; and to meet on Tuefday next for that purpofe. The Honourable Artillery Company were yeller day infpeded by Colonel MFRCPR,in their own ground, and it is unneceffary to fay more than that they kept up their ufual charader. On Monday morning the left wing of the St. Giles and St. George Blnomfbury Volunteers muttered at their parade in the Mufeum gardens, and marched from thence to Montpellier garden, Walworth, to fire for an elegant mufket ; which was won by Mr. CROW, of the Bth (Capt. Leo it's) company. A handfome breakfaft was provided for the occafion. On Friday hat, at Ayr, Major-General Wsstyss, accompanied by Brigadier-General MACKENZIE, the Lord Lieutenant and Vice Lieutenant of that County, reviewed the Ayrfhire Yeomanry Cavalry, command ed by Lieutenant Colonel OswaLn ; the ill Regiment, commmanded by Colonel Kx Lie, and the Rifle Corps commanded by Major HAMILTON. In the General Orders ilTued by General Wsstess, he mentions his particular approbation of their (late of difcipline, which, he lays, merits every encomium, is honour able to theinfelves and the County to which they belong ; and is tech as enables him to report to the commander of the Forces, as perfedly fit for fervice. On Saturday fe'nnight the Rifle Brigade ended at Ayr, and the companies of the Rifle Regiment matched home; and on Tuefday the B►igade of the 11l Regiment ended, and the Leven companies, from Kilmarnock, Irvine, Saltcoats, Maybole, and Girvan marched to their refpedive towns. Their condo& while at Ayr was highly exemplary, and fo &idly regular, as rarely to be met with where there is in grer.r an affemblage of The fame day, the 2d battalion of the ad regiment, under ColoneliVa Lac s, marched into that town.

The {hip in this cafe was condemned, and the cargo diretted to Itandover until the return of the Monition. El Juan Maria, Georges, Mager.—This was a claim for 49 bales of wool, which the Court reamed, fubjeil to the captor's expenses of the further proof. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 25. The AA-Tot/sty GENERAL applied to the Court for a peremptory Rule to bring on the argument re (peeling the cafe of Mr. Jolliet Johnfon to-morrow. He Rated that an indictment had been prefeircd againit the Ju(lice, to which he had entered a fpecial plea to the jut ifdidion, letting forth that the alledged offences cock place in Ireland, mhich Poiret - led laws of its own and a competent jurifdietion to enforce thole laws. To that plea the Crown had demurred and the Defendant kilned in demurrer; it was there fore to hale the argument upon the pleadings let down peremptorily for to-morrow that he had trot'. bled the Court ; as, in cafe of further delay, it would be impollible to cnter the record this term, and the trial, which it was intended thculd be a Trial at Bar, ' in that cafe could not be brought on till after Michaelmas term next. Their Lord(hips would, therefore, fee the propriety of not fuffering a charge In let ions to hang over the head of a Gentleman who filled a fituation In highly important in that part of the Empire alluded to, longer than was abfolutely neccflary ; and he milled the Court, for the reafons he bid aflgned, would concur in granting his motion, as the belt means of facilitatir.g and bringing the matter to an iffue. _ _ The Court ordered the demurrer to be fct down peremptorily for to morrow. A man was brought up from Wales, to plead to The matters of an ind;£tment charging hira with an afrault upon a revenue officer with intent to kill him. pleaded Not Guilty ; and was fent away to Car -1 marthea for trial at the next affizes. JUNE 26. MANDAMUS TO THE Bt!.:HOT OFOXFORD. Mr..Serjeant WILLIAMS applied far a liatalantus to be direCled to the Bifhop el Oxford, in conic quenee of lt:s refufal to licence the Rey. Strangeways Pearfon, who had peen nominated by the inhabitants •of Middleton, to the refident Chaplaincy within the diorefe f that Prelate. When Mr. Pearfoti waited en his Lordship, objeCtions were firfl made to the deficiency in the number of the inhabitants fignini7, his nomination. This difficulty was removed, and the application was repeated with as little fuccefs, for the Bilhop now objeeted to the form in which it was made. He /doled a third time to his Lordibip, with the precif: form required, but he was again dd . - ! appointed, and a young man of the name of Mat thews fubfequently received the licence of his Lord. Chip. In this Bate matters remained, until the Se cretary of the Bifhop thought proper to fay, that the proceedings of the inhabitants were Simoniacal, and that the Right Rev. Dignitry had appointed a per fon capable not only of performing the duties re-j 'qulred, but of fupporting the eeclefiallical rights rf the diucefe. In het, an aflion was br( fight in the name of this inctonlenr, Mr. Mattl.ews, att.! the Plaintiff was rmAtit,td by one of the Judges of this Court (Mr. Juflice LE BLANC ) Lord ELLENBOACIUGN.—" VThat 4tas been the ctifiorn with refpeet to the prefentatior Mr. Scrjrant Wict.tams.—. , They have been by the inhabitants co fromine ; the Vicar has nothing to do with it."

THE KING 11* EDWAEDS AND PASSIWIIIVC This is the fecond appearance of I l.cfc Defendants on the ()cerium of the proceedings in mitigation f punishment. Several affidavits were read i❑ fay( or of the charaUer of the Defendant, Mr. Edwat ; after which Mr. ERSKIN addreffed the Court in behalf of there perfons. He Paid, that with Mr. Pattingham he was perfonally acquainted, and until the time of this con vietion, he had the highett opinion of his charatler. His hillory was molt affeCting : he was the illegiti mate grandfon of a perfon of great diainftion, Wil liams Wynne, Efq. of Merionethfhire, and in con fequence of a recommendation he received to a Noble Lord at the head of the law, lie was piftnitted to enjoy his inheritance. At that period both this gentleman and his brother were eminent examples of benevolence and generofity, and of every quality which could adorn the human mind. The Learned Counfel laid, that he could give no vindication, he could make no apology ter the offence, bur he lett the fate of his client in the hands of their Lord (hips, in the full confidence that in the exercife of ju(Hce they would remember mercy. After Mr. MANLEY had been heard on the fame fide, who profeffed his perform' acquaintance with Mr. Pallngham, and his refpcet for him prior to this conviCtion, The Sol-mg-rot GENERAL and Mr. Gassow ad. dreffed the Court on the part of the Crown. They entered into ftveral particulars of the evidence. and contended, that it was not neceffary to Peek for any, aggravation of the crime ; that the mere pei ufal of the charge, and of the convidion, would thew that the Defendants deferved, and that public jultice re qtiired, that they &mild (offer the heasieit punilh. mint the law was capable of inflating. lithe De fendant Paffingharn pleaded the embariafflient of his affairs, which involved his children in &areas, it teemed to be almoff an unavoidable confequence of his own debauchery and prodigality. Lord EsLassolouon.—" The Court rauft take fume little time to confider what puniihrnent ought to be inflicted for this enormous offence. In the difi• charge of the painful duties Connie' have f-metimes to perform, it is difficult to avoid blending their pri. vate knowledge, and perfonal feelings, with the ter. timony before the Coon ; but I would fuggeti it as the more convenient way, not to admit the generofity of their difpolitions to induce them to deviate from the ordinary pradice. Let the Defendants Rand committed, and be brought up again on Tuefday." CHEAP V. SIR HOME POPHAM. Mr. MaltaaaT; had obtained a Rule to thew mire, why fecurity for the colts in this anion fhould not be given. The SOLICITOR CRNIRAL and Mr. ERSKINE, on the part of the Plaintiff, laid, fatuity haJ been offered, and the application to the Court was merely for the purpofe of gaining time in order to get over the long vacation. The demand was on the bond, which, with the interell accrued, amounted to 13,0001. — They contended the Role ought to be difcharged, or, if not, it fhould be granted on condition that the money be brought into Court. Mr. Mmtaxarr, for the Defendant, contended, that no delay had been occaGoned, and that there was nothing b regular in the proceedings. Lord ELIA/18(1'mm tr.—‘ , The Court has been abufed, and the Rule mutt be difcharged with colts." Mr. Junice Lautsoca—" if there be an algae of the pranice of the Court, no colourable pretence thall enable the party to milcondun themfelves with impunity. The Attorney who is guilty of this abut .

There Defendants ;ere brought up to receive the (entente of the Court, but the Lord Chief Justice being obliged to attend at Guildhall, the proceedings were interrupted, and the Defendants were ordered to appear to morrow (this day) on the fbor of the Court. • .4 POURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JUNE :6. ARMI.TRONG V. SMITH. This allion was brought by the Plaintiff as Admi niaratrix of her hufband, who was Mate on board the tbip Of which the Defendant was mafier, to recover tht balance of wages due to him at the time of his de ceafe. The caufe was Hied the Sittings in this Term, before Sir JAM hs MAN r t so, at Guildhall, when it was clearly:proved that a balance of 541. was due to the Plaintiff, over and above the firm of 91. which had been paid by the Defendant, as the full amount of wages due, into the office at Greenwich, etlablifhed by the 37th of the King, fot the purpofe of receiving the amount of wages due to feamen in the Weft In dia trade who may die on the voyage, and paying it out to their admini(trators, if demanded within 'Mee years. The Jury, by the dire lion of the Court, gave a verdift for the Plaintiff; the patties agreeing that a nonfoit lhould be entered, if, on argument, the Court were of opinion, from the wording of the Aft, that the payment of nine pounds, made into the office at Greenwich, by the Defendant, was a dif. charge of the debt. fierjeants SHIPHCRD and ONsiow were beard at tonfiderable length, on the confirt.dion of the Mt, the former for the Plaintiff. and the lintel for the Defendant. The Court thought it hard to put fuch a conlirue tion on the Aft, though the wording was doubtful, as would tend•to allow matters °fillips to pay into this office whatever lum,rbey pleated, as the amoun of wages due to any feaman whn might die on the voyage, without almoft a poffiaility of difeovery. • The rerdia was therefore confirmed.
