ice , 1 PUBLIC MEETING AT coLyrotv. A Public Meeting orrhe owners and occupiers of Land and Houses, in Colyton (Devon), and its vicinity, was held on Friday last, at the Justice Room, at a the Dolphin Inn, in that town; to take into consideration the proposed Ship Canal. The number of persons %slier attended. was at the least a him ired; a great proportion of whom were evi dently persons of the first respectability and consequence n that part of the country. TRYON Snot, of Bovey House, Esq. having been called on to take the Chair said, the only possible re commendation he could have to the honour of presiding at so respectable a Meeting, was that his property would be in no degree, that he was aware of, affected by the measure, to consider of which she Meeting had assem bled. Destitute of any motive to partiality, he had con- . Dented to the proposition, and it would now be for any Gentleman to propose or Yecommend any matter he might think fit to the consideration of the Meeting. JAMES KINGD N, Esq. said—l trust I shall not be considered as obtruding myself in submitting to your consideration a 'Resolution which I hold in my hand. The object for which we are assembled is so well known to you all that it requires little from me in she way of explanation. A measure is in contemplation which deeply affects us, and there can be rio impro priety in our freely discussing its merits. Entertaining as I do a very strong opinion on the subject of that great undertaking which is about to commence in our neighbourhood, it is not surprising that I should take part in the proceedings of the day. My personal cos. venience might be best consulted, if the attempt to make a Ship Canal were to be defeated ; but when II calculate upon the immense public benefits which it promises to my country, and in particular to this part of it—when 1 recollect instances have known of misery and degradation which have been the obvious effects of that illicit traffic carried on by the inhabitants of Bees and Seaton, for the want of some legal and proper means of procuring for themselves and their families a livelihood, and which illicit trade and all its evil conse quences will, in my opinion, be put an end to for eve?, by the formation of a Barbour at Beer,—when to this 1 add the reflection that thousands of brave men have found a watery grave, in consequence of the want of such a Harbour, and such a communication between the two Channels, as that which it is now proposed to firm, I cannot but wish that I might hold up both hands instead of one, in favour of so important and no ble a measure as the one proposed. It is therefore with great confidence that I submit to the Meeting the Re solution I will now read. JOSEPII CARSLAKE, of Montfield-house, Esq. se conded this Resolution. HatirarCoaaae, Esq. said—That Sir,which is chiefly wanting in this part of the country is some means of profitable o:cupation. Smuggling is not matter of choice to these people, but of hard and perilous neces ei y, and when I have asked them why they pursue it? the answer is ready,—sbew us some other, means of getting support. We and our children must live Knowing as I do, then, the great occasion for that very work which is about to be taken in hand, how could I fail to take an interest in such a proceeding ? and since it occurred to us, that our address to the Parliament of our country in favour of this noble undertaking might not be without its use, I have contemplated such a mew sure with delight, and have been anxious to bear a Dart in a proceeding so honourable to the understandings and feelings of the Gentlemen who surround me.' The vety luminous and able reports of Mr. Telford and Captain I Nicholls were sent to me by Sir William Pole, I have read them, as we have all, with the deepest attention. Can there be now, Sir, any difference of opinion on this subject—does not every one of us see prospects most cheering, and benefits most certain in the proposed measure, not only to the poor inhabitants of these parts, but to that great country to which we have the honour and the happiness to belong ? Surely, then, we must be all ready to join in the expression of that opinion which I have endeavoured to express in the resolution I hold in ray hand, and which I will now, Sir, with your per mission, read. This Resolution was seconded by a Gentleman whose name we did not learn. CORDON, Esq. asked if Sir William Pole had ap proved of ti:ts Meeting, or if he had authorized any person to sign a petition on his behalf ? Mr. PAYNS said that he had received a letter from Sir W. Pole, which was as follows: lITRACT 07 • LETTER FROM AIR WILLIAM TOLE TO WILLIAM PAYNT. " Ilfracombe, near Barnstaple, Jan. 26, 1825. " Dlt MAL Sta—By this time I conclude that you have read the Resolutions passed at Axminster, relative to the Ship Canal, and now the scheme will so.in reach a crisis—to be, or not to be, is now the question. I am decidedly for theCanal,and so is Lord Rolle." A letter was also read to the Meeting from Sir W. Po e, addressed to Mr. Corbyn, requesting that Gentle man to assure the Meeting that he had given his con sent to the proposed measure, and that no circumstance on earth should induce him to join in the oppositioa to it. Mr. KINGDON said—Sir, abundantly satisfactory as are t' e letters a suring us of Sir W. Pole's approval of this object, I have yet to learn that even if Sir William Pole had differed from us in opinion on this subject, that circumstance should have precluded us from peti tioning the Houses of Parliament, or expressing any Resolution on which we could agree. We live, Sir, in a free country, and are, I hope, free men. After some cicarltory conversation as to the reading or publishing tl e letters of Sir W. Pole, in which Mr. King don and Mr. Gordon took part, the first _proposed and the latter seconded the third Resolution. Mr. Corbyn proposed the fourth Resolution, which was seconded by Samuel Sampson, Esq. The Petition which Mr. Payne presented, having been read by the Chairman, W. PAYNE, of Colyton House, Esq.s poke as follows: —lt may be expected, by some Gentlemen present, that I should assign a reason for the part I have taken in the business before us, which, with your permission, I will endeavour to do in a few words. I beg, then, to s4}•, to the Canal, separate ly (by t h e te r m se parately, I mean unconnected with the Harbour at Beer), I am t , o friend, wid for two reasons; first, because it is are invasion as well as the destruction of my own property; aced, sezon dl y, from an apprehension I enterta i n c w at obstacle s ma y wise in the progress of the work will prevent its completion. My apprehension, forever, -1 reaaby acknowledge, may be traced, and perhap s justly, to my entire ignorance in matters of the hke nature ; , but, Sir, for the sake of argument, if you please, I will a d m i t the practicability of the measure to 's promised extent; even then, I will say to the ad venturers En this vast and splendid project (for vast and :Illendid it most assuredly is)-, if you calculate upro drawin g one guinea of remuneration from your capital and labour, you will reckon without your host; that I in n to ,eell gees ,iacie t the 1 in t of two the second generation of your heirs may benefit, an* , largely too, I will not venture to deny ; but, depend. upon it , the p ro fi t t o b e -de r i ve d f rom t h e u ndertaking Is wholly prospective. This opinion, Sir, like the for-I nter, opposed to the arguments and reasoning of men of science, may not beaworth the time yottlikve kindly spat-led *46 listening to it ;. that the erperimiat , szill be made, thA the scheme will be attempted, there is t a question; and it is equally clear sufficient funds ha already been obtained to warrant the application of the projectors to -Parliament for the power to dissect us; aod despairing as Ido of arresting the passage of the BM through the two Houses of Parliament, I think, with all deference to you. we had better, with a good grace submit, subject, of course, to the usual compen sation for the injuries respectively inflicted upon us, as expressed in the petition which will be produced for your sanction and signature; and if, Sir, the example of the humble individual who has now the honour to address you carries any influence, I am read.' to surren der my little property, desirous as I am of retaining it, , and acutely as I shall feel the loss, and I wish, with all' my heart, the woe k. if once began, may be prosecuted and completed to the entire satisfaction of every part) engaged in it, or affected by it; and should it reach that successful issue which its advocates so sanguinely anticipate, I shall not be surprised if those IA ho are now the most virulent opposers of the measure, become it mo,t enthusiastic admirers. Of the merits of a liar- bour at Bere, I am sanguine in the estreme; deeply, however, as 1 feel interested in the matter, I will not presume to say, it is a subject upon which there cannot be two opinions, nor sit ill 1, iglu,' ant as I am of nautical affairs, provoke a discussion which I am incompetent to combat. happily for me, there is present an ho nourable and gallant Officer of his Majesty's Navy, and as scientific as he is gallant, and I need not further illustrate his gallantly when I tell )ou he was one of the Lieutenants on hoard the fl Ig-ship of our immortal Nelson, at the battle of Trafalgar; to this gallant Of ficer, I beg then to refer you foe any information you may require on this point; hot incaphble as I feel my self of proving to your conviction the value of Beer as a port of refuge, or as a rendezvous for vessels frequent ing the Canal, I fearlessly assert an immensity of be• netit cannot fail to result from the hat bout ; and were the advantages confined to the relief it will afford to a race of people as deserving as any of his Ma jesty's subjects, contlahand trade excepted, a trade I have reason to know they would cheerfully abandon, were they not compelled to resort to it for their very existence; for the sake then, Sir, of humanity alone, I consider the Harbour would be worth more than double the amount proposed to be expended upon it; AS the hopes of the unfortunate inhabitants of the Hamlet are now excited, I confidently trust there will not be raised throughout the kingdom one vlitary voice to chill the glowing prospects, or to dispirit the hear is of a brave people heating high with expectation, constituting, I must not omit to remind you, a popula don of 1800 persons, a hom, from their isolated situation, are almost excluded the privileges, the prosperity, and the comforts which the English people so peculiarly enjoy. Before I sit down, Sir, I beg distinctly and un equivocally to declare, I entirely dissent with the writer, who has taken an unwarrantable liberty in 'dragging before the public the name of a most inde• fatigable_ Magistrate, a Magistrate to whose unremitting exertions the eastern part of this county is singularly indebted ; and I must further say, it is the first time I have heard it insinuated—an Englishman has not the right to resist the violation of his freehold ; at the same time, I claim permission to observe, I object to some of the resolutions of the Axminster Meeting, but More es pecially to the manner in which that meeting was con vened ; and I cannot help' thinking the wild and visionary views taken of the scheme by the Gentlemen who formed that meeting, must have originated solely in their being dazzled by its magnificence. Mr. SAMPSON moved the fifth Resolution, which was seconded by Captain WILSON, R.N. Captain Utz, of Brunscombe, said, that he was an old seaman, and had the high honour of enjoying the intimacy and confidence of that great man, Lord Nel- son ; that he had frequently conversed with him on the subject of a Harbour at Beer, as an excellent situation for transports to take in their,supplies of water. Lord Nelson had directed him to get a rough survey made, which he did ; but the death of that brave man pro bably prevented the circumstance from having been at tended to: so far, however, it was obvious that Lord Nel son thought well of the situation of Beer t as a H a' bour. .•-•••-• HEAD, Esq. observed, that to* his knowledge many vessels, with their crews and valuable cargoes would have been saved, if there had been a Harbour at Beer ; he recollected once seeing two transports (every man of whom perished) which would without doubt have been saved if there had been a Harbour at Beer. In answer to a question from the Chaiunan, Captain Urn said, that there was no situation equally advanta geous as Beer for a Harbour, between the Start and Portland, excepting there could boa breakwater across Torbay. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the Meeting dispersed. HUNTING. His Majesty's Stag-hounds meet on Friday, at Two-mile Brook. The Earl of Derby's Starhoundo, to.monow, at Gibbet Green.

Clinker fell when winning, at two hundred yards from home, and Raiuham, the jockey, bad his ' broken. The horse got up unhurt. PEDESTRIANISM. The pedestrian mat c hes over the six bridges of London have now become favourite trials for aspirants and reputed runners. one of whom performed the distance (.omething undefive miles) last %reek in 55 minutes. It was done yesterday morning, for 90 sovereigns, and a bye bet of 50, in less *Mtn than any runner of celebrity has done it, and it was a match of ne ordinary interest. The pedestrian was Mi. Peaky, a respectable tradesman of Holborn, whose friends backed him at Ave anti six to four. Ile performed the task within 52 minutes, and walked home.fresh and well. It is engaged to be done again to-morrow for 100 sovereigns, by a anon not maimed, in half an hour. • THE ARMY..

Saturday, the SPEAKER gave his first Parliamentary Dinner, at his official residence, adjoining to the House of Commons. It took pl.4ce at seven o dock, and was attended by those Ministers who are Commoners—Mr. Secretary CANNING, Mr. Secretary PEEL % the CHAN cet.Lon of the EXCHEQUER, together with the leading Ministerial Members, to the number of thirty in all. Yesterday thirty of the most distinguished Opposition Members were invited to the second . Parliamentary Dinner; among.t the invitations were Sir JAMES MACK INTOSH, Sir J. NEWPORT, Sir H. PARNELL, Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr. BROUGHAM, &c. The two next dinners, which will also be given on Saturday and Sunday, will also hue some reference to the 66 side" of the House ; but after that period the invitations will be made to the amount of about thirty for each dinner, for dinners on Saturday and Sunday, till all the Members of the House have been invited. • The present SPEAKER'S Parliamentary Dinners sur pass those of all his predecessors, for profusion, taste, and splendour. The Right ►n. Gentleman has about eight French cooks. The wines, of the choicest kinds, too, do justice to the dinners. These official dinner parties take place in a spacious, curious, and antique chamber, directly under the present House of Com:lions. BOW-STREET. Mrs. Christmas, the Lady whose matrimonial misfortunes have been so often before the public, was brought to this °Mee again on Saturday, to eater into sureties for her appe nce at the Quarter Sessions once more, to answer the complain of Mrs. Chatterley , c ra the actress. Mrs. Christmas had been tat into custody at a late hour on the preceding evcn!ng, on the authority of a Bench warrant, and she complained that it had been executed so unseasonably for the purpose of shutting her up in the watch-house for the night. The Magistrate (Mr. Mixsuutt) told her he was ve% sorry that she had been subjected to a night's imprisonment, but she had been taken on a Bench warrant, with the execution of which he had nothing at all to do, otherwise she might not have had cause to complain.—Mrs. Christmas thanked his Worship, and was proceed ing to reiterate her old matrimonial complaint against Mrs. Chat terley, but the Magistrate declined listening to it. However he might pity her misfortunes, lie said, he had nothing to do in the present instance, but to admit her to bail to appear at the Sessime.• She then tendered her bail ; but as she had only provided herself 1 with MSC surety, she was, at her own request, sent back to the watch - house until she could procure another • which she did in the course of the day, and doe was then discharged from custody. Stars v. Susurrs.—An elderly Gentleman was charged with 1 having inflicted divers blows on the person of a spruce Utile widow, 1 and with pursuing and persecuting the said spruce little widow, from house to house, to her great dread and injury, and against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King, &c. We abstain from giving the names of these parties : let It suffice, that the Gentleman is independent, and the widow dependent; that the Gentleman is about fifty, grey-haired, tall, and taciturn • and the widow about five-and.twenty, anburnshaired, short, fat, a nd Is. quacious ; an& that the Gentleman has long loved the widow, and the widow has long loved the Gentleman; but now she loves him no longer, and thereupon issue was joined. According to the widow's account, she had been housekeeeper to theGentitman,and for some years there /rasa perfect understaading and so much good-will between them, that she had borne hint a pledge of love. Their love and good -will continued undiminished, until about twelve months ago; since which time, the Gentleman presumed so much upon her love as to hat her—not once or twice, l I but every day, and almost all day long ; and when she had borne his beatings till she could bear them no longer, she left hint and went to reside elsewhere. But go where she would, he followed her, claiming her as his own, injuring her character, insulting her friends, and threatening her with personal violence, if she did not go back to his house, and love him as she had been used to do. This she fend to be utterly impossible. and therefore she besought the blagistrate to protect her in her separation. The Gentleman heard all this with a quiet smile upon his coun tenance • and 'when the widow had made an end of speaking, Sc addressed the Magistrate, calmly and quietly, in an elderly-gentle man-like manner. in his defence, thus :—" May it please your Worship, my wife has told many lies— " Your wifer said his Worship, 0 I did net understand that sbe was your wife!" " Neither is she, your Worship," responded the tall eagerly Gentleman ; " but we have been together eleven years or thereabout, and sometimes I call her 'my Mary,' and some times' my unfe—hut generally' my wife; in the hope of making all things smooth; and I therefore trust your Worship will indulge me in the use of that tender title." His Worship assented, and the tall elderly Gentleman re- I wined—" My wife has told you many lies ; for - I never injured her character; I never insulted her friends; I never threatened het with violence ; and I never lieat her. It is true, when she has slighted my remonstrances, I have slapped her—but I always took care to slap her on the shoulders—or some other soft place, so that she could sustain no injury theteby ; and once, I believe, I kicked her—but as tenderly as possible, merely to convince her that my re- monstrance, were not to be slighted with impunity; and I assure your Worship, that I never slapped her that she did not slap me in return, and with good interest too. Yon know, Mary love, we have often slapped each other when we have been alone—nay, yen .have often turned to at me, right and left, like a boxer; and did I ever complain of you to anybody r The widow wept, and " turned to" at him with her tongue so volubly, that the Magistrate bad much ado to prevail upon her to desist.— When she had done, the tall elderly Gentleman begged his Worship to believe that the very head and front of his offending was giving a slap for a slight o that all his slaps had been returned fourfold—tbat be still loved her toe tenderly to do her any harm. The widow, however, persisted in declaring that she would never listen to his love again ; and that she feared he would do her some serious harm ; and therefore his Worship directed that the tali el , deriy Gentleman should find bail. leg It is reported among the hang ton, that Lord HZNAY Catiatmoanster. second son of the Marquis Cuotstonnetar, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar Miss A astrresor,second datifpliter of the Right lion. C. A IIIUTHKOT. Ttie Custom-House.— We understand that a survey and report by an eminent architect has removed all the hire that were entertained respeiting the safety of this Timkn! building; it is now stated to be perfectly secure. It is recommendvd that the Long Room should be divided into three. AO large walls imme diately to be run up to support the interior of the building ; the door of the Long Room, which occasioned the late calamity, is to be entirely removed; it•consisted of large fla; stones, weighing, it is stated, several hundreds of tons. • NAVAL iNTELLWENCK; - rr 'VI Friday sennight, a Committee of Admirals, ease* or It Rotes Moonson, Sir liestSotant Hot.Loviret.L, and Sr Putztazir 111.avomm, together with several Cerritos and Officers of Chatham Dock-yard, assembled on board the Owes GLUON:MEN, to make trial of a plan solvated by Captain Cueurrux for catching the anchors. Captain Cutuseux proposes to take :he catheads awry, and to introduce two guns in the spaces they now occupy on the forecastle, in order that the bows of a pirsuing ship may be equally fortified with the quarters of the ship chased, supposing the latter to be a round sterned ship. The bower-anchot was ler go twice, and cathead in very good time. The opinion of the Committee has not transpired. Commodore Sir JAMS Batssaws, Kat.

PORTAISOUTII, Fan. S.—His Majesty's ship Ammo, Captain Hexer Paascorr, C. B. arrived this day from Rio de Janeiro, which place she left on the 16th December last. She has brought to England an immense freight in specie, it is said amouisting to nearly half audition sterling. She left at Rio the Braemar& Monne, and &Lam. The TWEILD had been ordered to return to Ragland. and was to sail in about three weeks after the Minna*. •The 111110/I was gone round Cape Horn. Lieutenant Kaue, First of the Twerp, had removed into the AURORA. in the room of Lieutenant DAWSON. invalided. Lieutenant CHALICES., Of the AnnOitA, had also invalided, and Mr. James Limn appointed in hie vacancy. I Mr. Grum', Boatswain, of the Manes, is dead, and Mr. J. ANDSR9OII appointed in his room. The Fee is expected home soon. —Co its Martial have been held on some of the Officers of the TWEED, on charges preferred against them by Captain limo; of that ship. _ Mr. Game HANNATORD was reprimanded and admo nished on various charges. The third Lieutenant, Mr. Beale. ac quitted, and came home in the AURORA. The trial of the first Lieutenant, Remy . , occupied nearly four days; he was repri manded on the charge originally preferred against him by the Master, but brought forward under peculiar circumstances by ap plication of Captain Hv'& We understand that the charge was for having caused two men to be started in Captain Humes absence from the ship, which was established, though the punishment was proved to have been remarirably slight. Although the Court deemed it right to pass censure on Lieutenant Ksu.v, it is but justice to that Officer to mention the following - circumstance, as lit conveys a most satisfactory explanation of the nature of the charges, and of the circumstances under which they were brought forward. Captain Putnam., who was Pre4dent suf the Court Martial, offered Lieutenant KELLY, in the most handsome nun ner, the vacancy which then existed in the AOKORA, and by ap plication to the Commandessin-Chief (Sir G. Eves), obtained his appointment to that ship, and he has arrived in her accordingly. The TWIT° may be daily expected, as she was to sail for Engin*, a few days after the AURORA.
