A a ! . LAW REPORT. . . MAY OF KING'S BENCH, MAY AL LINAL.•••••QUARTAILT RLIFITW. HAMILTON DROWNS, NM. O. MIJANATi Mr. Baotiousu opened the pleadings. The declara tion stated this to be a libel, to which the defendant pleaded, first, the general issue; secondly, a justification that the facts in the libel are true, and, therefore, be was entitled to publish them ; to which the plaintiff put in a replication denying the truth of the facts as in the declaration. . On these two issues there was joinder. The COMMONSERJEANT—The libels for which this *WOW is brought were published in the 57th and 58th • NO% of the Quarterly Review. The defendant, as you all know, is one of the most eminent publishers of books who ever lived. The plaintiff, Mr. Hamilton Browne, is a most respectable Gentleman. Having been introduced to Lord Archibald Hamilton, he be came interested in the prosperity of Mr. Browne, and applied to Lord Lauderdale to give him a letter of introduction to Sir 'f.• Maitland, the Governor of the lonian Islands. About the latter end of the year 1817,, Mr. Browne was appointed by S'r T. Maitland, Chief Assistant of the Office of the lonian Senate. On June 7, 1821, Mr. Hume, who had always taken an active interest in the affairs of the lonian },lands, moved for a general inquiry into the conduct of Sir Thomas Mait land. In making this motion, Mr. Hume adverted to certain private documents, .which he had obtained from' a certain Nuble Lord who sat near him. This was, in fact, Lord Carhampton. Sir Frederick Hankey, the Secretary of the lonian Government, on reading the account of this debate, immediately saw th it Mr. Hume's infor ma:ion could only have been derived from Certain documents in the public offices. He suspected that the N •ble Lord to whom he alluded wasLordArctii bald Hamilton, and that Lord Archibald Hamilton had derived his information from Mr. Browner— tlir Hankey immediately went to his office, and asked if they had made in, communicatit as to England ? and they all denied it. Lord Sidney Osborne went to his office, and without imputing anything, said to his assistants, that they ought not to transmit airy England. One of them, M'Caddy, im ' made any such communi ne retiring, Mr. Browne and, with a singular cle at the request of Lord some comnrinications ; to trn -sorry for it—if I had e tried to prevent it."

The Common Stasustv then replied. Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages se2so. BALLOON ASCENT. So numerous oflate have been these serial excursions in the vicinity of the metropolis, that to attempt variety in their narration is a task of difficulty; with very slight exceptions, one description might serve fur seve ral that have recently occurred. Montpelier Gardens was now the chosen spot, well known as a Cockney re- sort, where dinners are dressed on the shortest notice— , once famed for its maze, and during the rage for vo lunteering, sf target-shooting notoriety; here nine casks placed O'ls end in rows of three each ; on each outer row a plank, with others laid on them trans versely, formed the platform, on these were laid the balloon, of yellow and ruby stripes, encircled in the centre horizontally with a green band a little faded by use, and which was slowly aid skilfully infl ited ; the thermometer stood at 61, the wind, which had been northerly, shifted to due east, and the sky, which had been cloudy during the afternoon, appeared serene, when, about half•past six, Mr. Graham, accompanied by Captain Capes, of the Honduras trade, who was di:- appointed on Thursday last at Mile-end, in plonghing a new element, stepped into the car ; and after the pre- Oiniinaries of firing a swivel, and starting a pilot bal• !loon as an avant•courier, were launched into the air, slightly brushing a tree which intercepted their a•cent, waving their fl tgs to the lower orders, of n hoot within the gardens, and without in the surrounding neighbour. hood, there was a numerous a4emblag- ; and, pursuing a westerly direction, fl gated in sight for half art hour, during which time the balloon was visible from the bridges and main streets at the west mil of the metro polis. On the ground were several amateurs, the ve teran professor Sadler, and among the most active in the preparations was Mr. Adams, one of the companions of Mr. Graham in his last trip. DESCENT AND RE-ASCENT. - - The balloon, at Battersea-bridge, was observed to be approaching the earth, and at Chelsea it descended in a field, where it was followed by a number of persons, eager to assist in securing it. The Captain got on terra firma, when Mr. Graham cried, " Let go, my lads, I wish to ascend again." This was done, and the balloon took the direction of Richmond, and in ten minutes was out of sight. An article from Vienna says, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has convoked a Diet in Hungary, for the month of September, when the EMPRESS is to be crowned QUEEN of HUNGARY. The Russian Government, it is stated, intends to employ Greek Missionaries to convert to Christia• ity the savage hordes of the Caucasus, especially the pfun dering Tschetchenzes. Two oxen, destined for the table of the French King, on occasion of theColonation,are said to weigh 6,690 lbs. M. GAMBARD, a.stron,nener at Marseilles, discovered a new comet on the 19th ult. It was not till the night of the 27th that the state of the atmosphere allowed it to be seen by the astronomers at Paris. It is near the star Gamma, or Cassiopeia, invisible to the naked eye, without tail or apparent nucleus, having the form of a aebula, which is easily distinguished, notwithstanding the light of the moon. • A shower of stone lilts grains of a brown colour lately fell at Sterlitamask, in the Government of Orenburg. ' Mrs. Morris, wife of a journeyman saddler, at Billinghurst, was on Friday se'nnight safely delivered of four girls. They all died the following day, but the mother is doing well. A Petition his been presented to the House of Lords, on the subject of the De Lisle Peerage . ; and the claim ant's request, submitted to their Lordships' on Thurs• day, that the Committee of Privileges should meet June 2, to consider she claim, has been granted. _ CoMBIN A TION IN A MERICA.—BOSTON (U.S.), MARCH 25.—Yesterday a large assemblage of men proceeded along our docks, and took by force all the riggers and stevedores from their employment, being de termined that no one should work until the merchants signed an agreement to pay 12 shillings a day to the former, and 10 shillings to the latter. The common labourers have also turned. out for 10 shillings a day.' The stone-cutters have effected their demand, and now get two dollars a day for their services. 1 The late Colonel CAMPBELL, of 'Glenlyon, was grand son of the Laird of Gienlyon, who commanded the mi litary at the massacre of Glenco, and who lived in the Laird of Glenco's house, where he and his men were 'hospitably received as friends, and entertained a fort night before the execution of his orders. He was playing at cards with the family when the first shot was fired,, and the murderous scene commenced. Col. CAMPBELL, entertained the belief, then universal in the Highland!, that punishment of the cruelty, oppression, or miscon duct of an 'individual, descended as a curse on his chil dren to the third and fourth generation. In 1771,te] was ordered to superintend the execution of the seatence, of a Court-martial on a soldier condemned to be shot. Al reprieve was sent, but the whole ceremony.Cd the mai- I Lion was to proceed until the criminal was upon his knees, with a cap over his eyes, prepared to veceive the volley. It was then that he was to be informed of his pardon. kTo person was to be told previously, and Colenel Came szw, was directed not to inform even the firing patty, who were warned that the signal to fire would be the waving of a white handkerchief by the commanding Officer. When all was prepared, and the Clergyman had left the prisoner on his knees in momentary expcc tation of his fate, and the firing party were looking with intense attention for the signal, Colonel Casirsou.r, put his hand in his pocket for the tepvieve, and in pulling out the packet, the white handkerchief accom panied it, and catching , the eyes of the party, they fired, and the unfortunate prisoner was shot dead. The paper dropped through Colonel CAMPBELL'S fingers, and, clapping his bands to his forehead, he exclaimed, tg The curse of and of Glenco is here; I am an unfortu nate mined man." He de,ired the soldiers to be seat to the barracks, instantly quitted the parade, and soon afterwuds retired from the service. SPOIITING INTELLIGENCE. —sow — ASCOT HEATH RACES. TUESDAY, MAY 31.—FIRST DAY. ,- Ascot Heath had this day to boast of as splendid an assemblagf of beauty, rank, and fashion, as we have witnessed at these annual sports for many years. During the whole of Sunday and Monday the roads leading to Staines, Egham, Englefield Green, Windsor, Sunning-Mil, and surrounding villages, were crowded with persons who had secured houses and lodgings for tie: week, many of which were only obtained at enormous prices. It is said that Windsor was never so full, and the charges for accommodation were propor tionably high ; beds mere commonly a guinea a night, and where a sitting room was added, this sum was doubled ; stable.roont .vac equally in demand, ant many horses of necessity bivouacked in the open air. In London, the demand far horns was immense, and we have heard of the enormous sum of five-and-twenty guineas having been obtained fir four horses and a bajouche for the day. As early as six o'clock in the morning, the bustle of .departure was visible at Hyde Park Corner, and as the day advanced the thing increased— equipages of all sorts covered the road, and the diversity of character which was presented to the spectators who lined the footpaths, ex cited the most pleasing sensations. By ten o'clock, numerous groupes began to arrive on the Heath, and to take up their stations on the aide of the Course. Under the direction of Lord blaryborough, who superintended the general arrangements, persons were appointed to prevent confusion, and, thus the utmost regularity was preserved. Each cart iage as it ar rived occupied the most convenient position, and by twelve o'clock the assemblage of vehicles of every description exceeded calcula tion. The pedestrians were also extremely numerous, and we were happy to observe that those ruffians with cups and balk, garters, and other swindling devices, by whom Epsom Downs was in fested, were altogether excluded fronuthe Course. This desirable object was effected by the exertions of eight of the principal Bow street officers, and twenty-four of •the dismounted patrol, who were in attendance, under the direction of Sir It. p atrol, By the vigilance of these men, other depredators were likewise kept at a distance. It was announced early in the day that his AIAJESTr, and a party of his distinguished visitors, would honour the Races with their prssence, and shortly before one their approach was observed as they emerged from anteing the trees in the Park. In a short time they reached the entrance to the Royal Stand. Ilk Majesty was preceded by several yeomen-prickers in their scarlet jackets, and came in his plain travelling-carriage, draon by four horse.. Three carriages followed with the members of his Majesty's suite. His Majesty, on alighting, was received by Isis 11.11. the Duke of - Yeas who had previously arrived, and we are happy to observe , looked extremely well. lie walked to the Stand with great firmness, and appeared to he completely relieved from his late attack of the gout. On reaching the apartment devoted to his Majesty's accommodation, be instantly advanced to the window, and, on throwing up the sash, was received with the customary demonstrations of loyalty and affection. He seemed highly delighted by the brilliant and numerous assembler which was presented to his view. Among others who accompanied his Majesty, we noticed the Duke of Dorset, the Marquis and Marchioness of Conyogham, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Lord and Lady Scarborough. Lord Clarendon, Sir A. Barnard, , and Lord and Lady Mountcharks. Several of the Nobility also paid their respects to his Majesty during the day. Among the witnesses to the sports we observed the Duke of Richmond and the Ladles Paget, Lord Rolle, Lord Egrcturrnt, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, bud Tankerville, Lord Jersey, Lord Warwick, Lord Darlington, Lord Huborough, Lord Exeter, Mr. Lambton, Mr. Mayne, and a long list of others too numerous to detail ; indeed,we believe all the principal stars in the beau sass* were present. At one o'clock precisely Lord Maryborough desired the ben for the first race to be rung, and at the sante moment the Yammer Tr:titers and Constables under his Lordship's direction, with graft propriety forced every person to retire outside of the ropes and railings, thereby enabling his Majesty, and those is elevated situa done, to command an uninterrupted view of the running. The re gulations adopted in this respect were most judicious, and were strictly adhered to throughout the day. The sports were as follow: His Majesty's Plate of 100,guineas, for horses of all ages, four miles. For the Plane six horses were entered, but four were subsequently drawn. Two only ran. Mr. lleobald's Cydnui, 4yn old . . . • . Lord Darlington's Serab, 4 yrs old At starting Serab .was so decidedly the favourite, that he was backed at ten to one.

At the conclusion of this race, his Majesty, who seemed highly pleased by the sports of the day, took his departure, and was fol luwed by the members of his suite. The remainder of the company soon followed the Royal ezanipie. The weather throughout the day was most propitious, and we did :sot bear of a single accident to mar the pleasures of the scene.

In coming to the scratch, the position of Jubb was mastery, but it was all position, for the moment Reid commenced operations, he caught him with a hush hit on the nose, and drew his ear*, amidst loud shouts front the metropolitams. • A 1 busy rally followed, and Jubb bit repeatedly with hi, right, hut he was scientifically stopped by Reid, who countered heavily. In the end, the men clo.ed, and both went down, Jubb undermost. Eleven other rounds were fought, all in favour of Reid, although Jubb tame up very manfully, and did his best.

Prosperity to the Society ' was then proposed, and several other toasts followed, :accom panied by appeals on behalf of the Society. A liberal subscription was read by the Secretary. DEATH BY WHISTLING.—A painter, of the name of Willoughby, was killed in a wrestling match with one Norton, for 101. on - Saturday, at Melston Common, three miles from Colebrook, 'in his third fell. Both were reputed adepts in the art. The deceased ,eras taken up lifeless. A very sensible decrease has lately been observed iif the number of London pickpockets, and a consequent decrease of business at the receiving-houses And she police-offices.
