IR h. t• YEETING of MASI, and CO.'. CIiEDITORS. --....-- . • Mr. F,e:ieant BOSANQUET said, that he attended on .4e tart o f two Gentlemen, Captain William Stone, of Ea , t India service, and Mr. Henry Gahagan, to for a sum of 16,0001. These Gentlemen had mo ney in the Navy Five per Cents. 17,0001. and a frac ton o f *hick had been sold out by a booker. Mr. Spur *, for .16,0001. Mr. Si racey attended in - person at tbe uani,of England, and demanded in the usual way to act upon the power of attorney. The money was sold out on the 26th and '2Bth of May, 1819, and paid 'no the hands of Martin and Co. to the account of Negsr , . Marsh, Stracey, and Co. and by them taken f r om Martin and Co. What they did with the money vas of no consequence to him, but he would say, that xt 0,.e farthing of the money had ever been received by Captain Stone or Mr. Gahagan. They had never ':tally authorised the sale of the money ; and he now tilled on - the partners in the house of Marsh, Stracey, and Co. to skew that the money had not been received II them, and applied to the use of their house. If Mr. fiturleruy were now living, he could not deny that it had been applied to the concern. Mr. Marsh could not i eny i t _nar could Mr. Stracey, nor Mr. Graham. lie lid not know that it was necessary to go at length into the case, as it *as probable 'it would have to go to a higher tribunal. Mr. Commissioner LAW observed, that in that case, the shorter the statement pf facts the better. Mr. Monmou wished to go fully into the merits of the case, in order to save the Lord Chancellor as much :iouble as possible. He was surethat his Learned Friend gr. Pollock would be as willing as himself to facilitate trerythingas much ati possible. It appeared that half he bioktiage on the sale of the money was, according ia the usage of bankers and brokers, paid to the broker,• aid the other half to the bankers themselves. Mr. MOtITAGU wished Mr. Spurling to state whether be received. the order to sell• from one or more of the bankers, and from whom? Mr. Splitling said he could not tell from which of the partners he received the order; it was in May, 1819; he entered the order in the general order book of Marsh and Co. he never entered orders otherwise, and could not specify any particular partner from whom he re ceived the order to sell out the stock. Mr. LAW said, that two of the partners, Messrs. Sun- Ley and Graham, had already in their capacity sanc tioned the sale. Mr. Pou.oci thought that was coming to a conchs s:on rather hastily. In answer to a question by Mr. Montagni Mr. Spur ling said, that Stracey generally gave orders for raising the money ; sometimes orders in writing came down in the morning early, by porters or clerks. Mr. Stracey was more frequently in the City than Mr. Fauntleroy. The moiety of the brokerage was paid to the bankrupts ; le paid the money by cheque into the house of Martin and Co. _ The whole money, minus the moiety of the brokerage, was paid into Martin and Co.'s. He believes the order was a verbal one, as he could not find it in writing in his office. He sent a note of sale to the house of Marsh and. Co. Mr. William Cole, clerk to the house of Mar tin and Cu.Lombitr&street : deposed, that the money was paid into their hou%e on account of Marsh and Co. and after wards drawn out by them. • In his cross-ssamination,-be said that the cheques bad been delivered up with the books to the house of Manb and Co. and had not peen returned. Br Mr:•Seijeant BosaNQUET.—None of the 'indivi dual partners ever - drew - on the account of Marsh and Co. in their individual names from Martin and Co. the drafts were always made - in the name of the house of Marsh and . Co., the partners who more frequently at tended on acco . iint of the house, Were Mr. Eruntleroy and Mr. Graham, but most frequently; the money was chiefly brought by the clerks, who conducted the business principallf; he seldom saw the partners oftener than once in three weeks. Mr. MONTAGU said, that every case on the part of the Bank of England:must be decided on its own indi vidual merits; and as the.decision of the preSent case solved matters of:treUt importance and magnitude, It was necessary that they should proceed calmly, and the facts singly... He bad no doubt that they . arrive in the end at a very satisfactory conclu and that all cases could be arranged under par- asses. letting was then adjourned till two o'clock on . . - • took place late on Saturday evening weed, Jw at the back of the Derby Arms, rclesfielk, between an officer in hii Mijesty's ser , an Exciseman, and a gentleman following of a silk tkrowster.

INQUEST ON THE EDDY OF RICHARD FOSTER. • This Inquest was held Friday evening at the house of Samuel Richardson, the sign of the Locomotive Steam Engine, at Hunsletcarr. 'llamas Caley examined—He said he was a miner, and was employed in Mr. Brandling's pits at Middleton; knew Richard Foster, who lived at Hunslettcarr ; was married and had three children ; the deceased was employed at the Middleton Pits since he was a boy. The misfortune took place on Wednesday night ; wit ness went into the pit at noon on that day, and remained . there-till half-past nine at ; Foster was also there. Witness supposes there might be upwards of forty men And boys working in the pir, aim would have finished their labour by about eleven at night. At about a quarter before seven o'clock he heard a sudden rushing, and then a noise like the loud repart of a cannon, his light went out ; it seemed as if there was a great crush ing; he had one of Sir H. Davy's lamps, which was guarded, and it was not exposed at all on that day. All the .persons e:nployed in the pit had patent safety lamps. On hearing the noise he became alarmed, and ran towards the shaft of the pit ; on his way he ran over a man laid down, it was John Liversedge, who is now in the Infirmary ; he was rolling about ; witness told hinite come forward, but the man never spoke. Witness saw no flame, but when going to the shaft, he overtook William Fox, and James Wood, and the latter told him that all was in a flame below. Witness and J. Butter field went back to search for Liversedge; .they found him in the same place, with his leg broken in pieces, but he was still alive. Twelve escaped with very little injury ; four are at the Infirmary, and two are ill at home; twenty-three have died in .consequence of the accident. Witness was not present when Foster was taken nut, but believes he was alive. He thought, when he heard the report, that it was the explosion of the damp; he felt assured it was fire-damp, for he smelt the sulphur. He supposed the accident occurred in conse quence of carelessness on the part of some person in having the light of their lamps exposed, when the lamps required trimming, they were directed to remove them into a proper situation for the, purpose ; the pit in which this accident happened was, in his opiniop, safer than some others. He had no doubt.that Foster died from the effect of fire-damp. When the lamps have their tops on, he considers them safe ; sometimes the wire-gauze will become red hot, and when that is the case, the workmen should remove elsewhere; they. are never to work in such dangerous places, by order of the bottom stewards ; it is not required of them. The overseers make a point of examining the pits. Joshua Parkin stated, he was a miner at Middleton Pits, and was at work on Wednesday night, when • the fire-damp went off suddenly at a quarter 'before seven . o'clock ; there was no previous alarm'-given ; it was as sudden as the - crack of a gun ; it blew him over ; he ley kill about a quarter of a minute, and it came again; he then got up, wrapped his shirt round his face, and setoff running as fast as possible to the shaft of the pit; when be had proceeded about three hundred yards, he found a smell of fire-damp, or sulphur ; le succeeded in reaching the shaft, and saw no one in his way. The deceased was wor king in the pit at the time of the ex plosion, and was taken out about ten o'clock the same night; he 34ty him, but did not hear' - him speak. Wit ness cannot tell hew the accident happened, nor does he, think any one can. Witness believes the accident mutt have arisen from neglect on.the pert of some man. No other witnesses were examined, and the Coroner (ROBERT BARR, Esq.) proceeded to sum up the evidence to the Jury, , who delivered the following verdict— " That Richard Foster came to his death inconsequence of an explosion of fire-damp." Mr. HENRY HUNT, with a party of Ladies, last night appeared inthe dress circle of Drury-lane 'Theatre, near the stage; and in a private box, in line with the . second tier, sat Mr. KaAN, who, with his friends, re mained during the Opera. Mr. KICAN took that side of the bos•which placed him in full view of the audience during the whole evening. He appeared to be full of spirits, joining,ln the !herd inent of the Opera, and then taking a full view of the company in the house.

" But surely," , ccintinvied. he, 66 when you are with him st Hampton you might firevail'on - hini to come over to Ember Cour, and dine with me; and their, perhaps, as you say he is-a good-natured man, hewould oblige me with a i i .eiimen of one of his characters." The friend undertook the ne-- gociation, and GA Inticic readily acceded. ()MOW was profuse in his acknowledgments,' and after dinner, GARRICK giving him his choice of what he should re cite, the dagger scene in Macbeth was fixed on, and ONSLOW might have been thought gratified had he not, in the middle of it, turned round to his friend, and in a .low tone of voice said, " Were you at the last Turn pike Meeting ?" At the Norwich County Sessions; a true bill was found against the Rev. Jas. Maxwell, Rector of Thorpe nest Norwich, for violently assaulting and ill-treating Charlotte, the wife of Mr. William Browne Chamber lain, a Lieutenant in the Navy, residing in Thorpe, on Saturday, the 30th of October last. The indictment was removed into the Court of King's Bench, by a writ of certiorari, and therefore the trial is• postponed until . • the Assizes. Sir THOMAS PA iIICYNp the possessor of Bunney Hall, in the early part of the last century, was remarkable for his love of wrestling, in which he excelled. A short time before his death, which happened in the year 1741, at the age of 78, he published a treatise upon wrestling, in one part of which, speaking of the excel lence of the art, he says, " I receive no limberlams, no darling sucking-bottles, who must not rise at Midsum mer till eleven of . the clock, till the fire has aired their room and clothes :of their colliquative sweats, raised by high sauces and spicy forced-meats, where the cook does the office of the 9tornach, with the emetic tea-table set out_with bread and butter for breakfast.

The *eather being remarkably fine on Monday, a deer was turned out in a large field to the right of Slough, fur the day's di version. A larger held of sportsmen assembled to partici,tate in the day's diversion than bas been known this season. Spectators of all ranks were present to witness the turn out. Lord ‘larybst. rough attended in his full costume, as Master of the Kin g ' s S tag Hounds. The deer set off with great speed across the held• to the right of Slough, and the left of Stoke towards P.krnhato Common, taking to the left of Taplow, *here he crossed the Thames this side of Maidenhead-bridge. The sportsmen went along Maidenhead bridge and renewed the dace; the deer took across the urtry towards Broad Common, with great swiftness, taking to theright towards White Walham, where he was taken, after a tine run. • The Gentlemen of Sir John Cope's Hunt had a glorious run on Monday se'nnight. Behind Brown's Coppice, near Farley Hill, they found an old fox, who, for three years, had treated them with some excellent sport. Iteynard made for Moore's Coppice Ar borfield, when leading back in nearly the same line, he made for Mr. St. John's, West Court; from thence over the Ridges to Finchampstead, and along the Bagskot Hills, where he was run down in gallant style, and killed at the Royal ilitary College. Mr. King's Hounds meet on Saturday, at Moor's Head. The Hon. Newton Fellowes's hounds meet, on Saturday, at Stone Mill Bridge. • York and Ainsty fox-hounds on Saturday, at Hag Bridge. Sir Sykes's fox-bounds to-morrow; at Burton Agnes. ESTABLISHMENT OF FOXES. The most curious part of the establishment of Mr. Templar, of Stover House, near Chudleigh, is his method of keeping his foxes. He has nearly thirty brace of cubs and old ones, many of the latter of which he has bad for some time; and strange to say, there is one called" the Bold Dragoon," which has been hunted six and thirty times—often affording some excellent runt What is althea extra ordinary, when he comes home at night, after the sport of the day, be never goes into the kennel without taking his supper with him, which always awaits his arrival.—lt consists of half a rabbit mid some kennel meat, without flesh; or in default of the rabbit, a small portion of flesh. The Bold Dragoon is a strong dark coloured fox, •f the greyhound kind, and does not appear to have lon any of his natural character. Mr. Templar's old foxes are kept in two large yards, in which their kennels—the same as we use for pointer.—are placed; and they are confined by collars and chains—the latter is six feet long. The chains of some of them are affixed to swivels, fastened on the tops of the kennels • so that by dmrihing.a circle of about eighteen feet, they keep themselves in tolerable wind. He has one fox at his kennel so tame, that he wags hie brush as a spaniel wags his tail when any one he knows approaches hint ; aid he has one jackall in his possession, *kith of course he does not hunt.

TROTTING MATCH. 1 Saturday morning last a pony, aged three years and a half, carry ing 10st. 101 b. the property of Mr. W. Qoick, jun. of the Valiant Soldier Inn, Exeter, was backed to go from the above inn to the Country Hotel, on the Honiton.road, a distance of eight miles and a half, in forty minutes; which he performed as follows t —first four miles lad a quarter in twenty-two minutes trotting; and the remainder of the distance in sixteen minutes and a half, performing the whole one minute and a half within the given time. s PEDESTRIAN ISM. The great match for Captain Swan to do twenty miles ',lowa Was and ten minutes, took plate yesterday du the Watford road. twenties. It was for a hundred sovereigns, and the Captain was backed at seven to four to win. This is the same Pedestrian who beat the eclebraled Ralph Abernethy sixty-miles in April last. He is considered one of the best of the day. He did his several two oldies as follow : Mtn.

'total, 1 Lou, 58 minutes, a seconds. BroWn, the Wiltshire pedestrian, started at five minutes after - four o'clock, on Wednesday se i nnight; to go sixty-two miles in twelve successive hours, the ground being accurately measured into half miles, on the Whiteparish road. He did the first twenty miles in three hours, then stopt at the White Hart half an hour, and breakfasted; and completed the undertaking, after stopping one hour and a half, with fifteen minutes to spare. Friday, Hugh Rusvell, the celebrated pedestrian, accomplished the novel and extraordinary feat of walking 102 miles in 24 hours, en the Canal Bank, at Limerick. He is not above 20 years of age, and finished the task within half an hOur of the time, amidst the cheers of a large assemblage whose curiosity was highly excited, and who marked their approbation by a handsome collection. Utditto It appears by letters lately received from Valencia, that the Spanish Government has granted to an English commercial house in that city (Messrs. O'Sit EA and Co.) the privilege of laying down mooring -chains in the bay, which will be a great security to vessels in that port. Thirteen hundred and ninety-seven Justices of the Peace, were appointed by the Legislature of Vet mont, in the United States, at the last Session. • The last accounts from Spain state a fact, which tends to show that the Government of that country has made some approach towards common sense and bus Inanity. The late Minister, CRUZ, about whom so much has been said, is set at liberty. The history Of his imprisonment is infamous enough for the Inquisis tion.
