NAVAL' COURT MARTIAL The following * are the • particulars of the Court Martial lately held on board the Ammar. in Sheer ness Harbour, for the trial of Capt. Lord G. STUART. late of his idajesty's ship NEWCASTLE, upon the fol lusving charges exhibited against him by Captain BUTCHER, late of his Majesty's ship ANTELOPE : " i'vr neglect of duty and disobedience - oforders, on or about the bill of July, 1814, by taking the Newcastle into Beerbaven, and thereby abandoning the convoy,—Forthe like conduct on or about the sth, lith, and 20th of August following, in parting convoy, contrary to the written orders issued on or about the 91st a:1 25th of July; and for having, during the aforesaid pe riod, hazardt4 the safety of a crippled brig belonging to the con voy entrusted to his charge, and afterwards quitting her altoge thir to go in chase.—For disobeying the signal of real on or smut the 12th or 17th of August, 1814, and on the last-men tioned day chasing from the fleet.—For having, on the quarter dais of the Antelope, on or about the 17th of Seprauber, 1814, conducted h'itsselt in an outrageous and disrespectful manner to Captain Butcher, his Commanding Officer. For having, from the earliest period of being pieced under Captain Butcher's orders to that of being detached by him, performed his duty In a most careless, negligent, and un.officer-like manner.—For general dis aedienee to the written orders and regulations issued by Captain Btecller for protecting and conducting the convoy." The Court 'acquitted Lord GEORGE STUART of the whole of the charges exhibited against him, and ob served in the sentence, that the public reprimand of his Lordship by Captain &Amen, in his General Order to the ships under his command, dated the 6th of September, 1814, was most harsh and unusual; particularly as it appeared that his Lordship was never, previous to such reprimand, .given to under stand that his conduct was displeasing to his Com manding Officer, or was called upon to account for any part of his proceeding. Monday last, the signal for capital punishment was made at nine p. m. on board the Sr. GEORGE, in lianioaxe ; and the boats of the fleet, manned and armed, assembled round htr, to witness the ex.:.cntion .1 . W. Antra, of hit Majesty's ship TRAAVE, convicted t.t the deliberate murder of the Corporal of Marines of the same ship. Every possible indulgence was, allowed to the unhappy man ; a considerable time •lapsed between the hour of the assembling of the boats and that of execution ; and the extreme cool. td the weather must have made it a severe =- vice to the Officers and men alongside, as it was not till eleven p. m. that the fatal bow-gun was fired, and the culprit launched into eternity. After hang irg the usual time, the body was taken to the Royal Naval Hospital.

Thus disabled, but little of hope would seem to have remained for this unhappy pair ; they, however,-survived, again reached their native land, and were received into the York Hos. pital at Chelsea, where, a few days since, the heroine was delivered of a fine girl, unhurt by the alarms of war.—His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, with that recogniz of the soldier and amenity which always distinguish him, penetrated by the incident, has stood godfather to the infant ; who is, conse quently named Fueuemea M‘Mut.Ltxor WATER- Loo.'

A severe frost and a heavy fall of snow took place in the middle of the last week, in the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire, which have, for the present, put an entire stop to the pursuits of agriculture, and all the sports of the field. General PtimPs is on a visit to his brother, the Earl of MULGRAVE, at his seat in Yorkshire._ _ . On Monday last Lord Vete•ronT, eldest son of the Earl of MOUNT Enwicumile., became of age, when a sumptuous dinner was provided for his Lordship's tenantry at Cremill Passage Inn, Mount Edgecumbe being under repair, prevented-a general invitation of the Nobility and Gentry on the occasion. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND have been at their residence in St. James's Palace, from Kew Green, above a week, and it is understood that their Royal Highnesses will continue there during the winter. Last night the exterior of Carlton Hence was lighted, for the first time. with gas. The reflection in the Court-yard and Pall Mall was extremity bril liant ;it had the effect of an illumination. The Se cretary of State's Office for the Home Department, Whitehall, was also lighted with gas, for the first time, on the outside. In consequence of the decrease in the price of corn; the Rev. Dr. ELLts, of Long Leadenham, Cambridge shire, has reduced his tythes from £llOO. a year to £7OO. Mr. INCLEDON.—This highly.csteemed and interest ing national singer arrived at Monmouth last Monday, and iq the evening gave his populor entertainment. called the ifissurels, in the Town. Hall. This noble room, 30 yards long by 14 wide, was at an early hour crowded with the most respectable families, re siding in Monmouth and its neighbourhood ; and it is but a small tribute of praise due to the talents of Mr. lsicLatiora, to observe, that he was in fine voice, and, with Mr. COLLYat and Master TavLon, gave all the songs with infinite taste, which were received with the most rapturous marks of approbation. The descriptive scene of the Social Party at Tantity Hall, afforded particular mirth ; and the song of 4 , The Twins of Latona," was highly relished by the sons of the chase. But his finale of 46 The Storm," ( which may rather be called a halkt of action than a song) was a,master-piece of its kind—it was listened to with the most profound silence; and, when finished, drew forth from the whole of the audience a most involun tary peal of applause. Nothing could exceed the polite attenticns of the Chief Magistrate, united with those of the Chamberlain, who were among the most active in promoting this truly rational entertainment. natiLlms cot ur OF CHANCERY, N0V.22. tArifilt:Y CASE.--6101 GitrUORY PACIE TURNER. kr.

JUDGmENTS. Tim KING V. TIIONIAS unarms!. The defendeet hid been found guilty, at the lao Winchester Assizes, of a conspiracy with an Ensign of the name of Henry Horton, to defraud -- Kuy vett, Esq. Paymaster-General of the Army Depot in die I,le of Wight. Horton has since been found guilty of another crime, for which he has been sen tenced to transportation. The information contained eight counts, the fitst six of which set forth, that Graham was the principal clerk in the department of the Paymaster-General of the Depot of the Isle of Wight, whose duty it was to check various accounts, and among others those of Ensign Horton, who filled the office of Deputy Quarter. Master ; that, in stead of so doing, he conspired with Horton, and in the year 1807, with intent to defraud, made several alterations in the accounts entitled " Abstracts of al terations of (Jahn" for the 27th and stith regimeats, making a larger sum appear to be due than actually was due, so as improperly to übtein from Mr. Knyvett, the Paymaster-General, coesiderable sums, which he and Horton applied to their own private pureoses. The 'rth and Bth counts charged, that certain altera tions had been made in the general ledger, with the privity and consent of the defendant, by Ensign Horton, by which it was represented that a balance of £3 was owing to the latter, when in truth he had received about £BOO more than he had a right to claim. The whole extent of the fraud discovered, amounted to about £l,lOO. The report of the trial having been read, the de fendant put in no affidavits, and having employed no Counsel; he addressed the Court very shortly, en treating their Lordships' mercy, and requesting to be allowed to read a certificate from the Medical Board, as to his ill state of health, arising from his constant attention to the bueiness of his office, and a letter from Mr. Kny vett to the Secretary at War, recommending him as a deserving and faithful ser vant of the public, to the consideration of Govern ment for a pension, being, in consequence of illness, incapable of further exertion. He had been in that department for about fifteen years. The Court permitted the defendant to read these documents, which were dated as late as December, 1814, and January, 1815; the (lauds of which he had been guilty during a course of seven or eight years, not having been discovered until the April fol lowing. The defendant trusted, that their Lord ships would take into consideration, that he had al ready been imprisoned since April. The ArIWZNE'.:-GENEIt kL called for the severe sen tence of the Court upon the defendant, who had been guilty of a series of the grossest frauds. It was in vain that intention was paid to economy in the depertnenits of government, if these pecule. tions in the lower departments were not repressed by serious examples of their consequences. • In passing the sentence of the Court, Mr. Justice La Beam: adverted to the extensive frauds that were found, by occasional thsclosures, to prevail among the subordinate agents of the government of the country. This case was another instance of the ge neral depravity of morals among perms, who, though adequately paid, :Mowed their expences to spread beyond their honest means, and then resorted to dis graceful expedients to support their extravagancies. Nearly as soon as a mail was initiated into one of these places, he was initiated also in the frauds prac tised in them, however pure he might before have been. The Court was at a loss for means effectually to check these extensive malpractices, but when dis covered it was its duty to fix upon the delinquent some indelible mark of int Amy. The sentence, there fore was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in Winchester gaol for two years, and during the per iud that he should once be placed in the pillory in that City. The defendant, with tears, entreated the Court to withhold the ignominious part of the sentence, in consideration of his wife and two children. Mr. Justice Le Beam observed merely, that the defendants confederate had been transported for a similar offence. THE KING V. CHM GRINDRED. The defendant was brought up for judgment, having been found guilty oi an information charging him with a misdemeanour, in negotiating for grain, with a person named Isaac Sewell, for a place under the Bond of Excise. The defendant was an inn keeper at Brough, in Westmoicland, and Sewell, a schoolmaster ; the sum paid was £3OO. The nego ciatien was carried on through a Collector of the nameof Phillips, since dead, who, according to the allegation of the defendant, received the whole of the money, he possessing the necessary influence. There were some circumstances of mitigation in the case, and among others, that urged by Mr. Sceneerr, counsel for the dtifendant, that it was a much lighter effenee for a man, without patronage, to receive a sum of money in this way, than for an individual, high in rank, and powerful influence, to take a bribe to secure an office for an undeserving individual. In this case it was not pretended, that Sewell was not fit for the post he acquired, though he had subsequently been dismksed, having obtained his office improperly. The sentence of the Court was a fine of 4100, aad imptisonment in Appleby jail for six mouths. TILE ICLN V. JAME.% CREISEII, JOSHUA FELL, ANNE his Wife, and I HOS. WEKAN. The ATTOKNEY.GENERAL moved for the judgment of the Court in this case. This was an information which charged the first three (Lt . endants with assaulting Edward Stark and James Stuckey, in the execution of their duty as Custom-house Officers, and the last-mentioned with neglecting to assist the said officers • in making their search in the house of Fell, for contraband goods, although called upon so to do. From the evidence adduced on the trial, it ap peared that inform atoll having been gives to the Officers or Cdstoms that there were contraband good ; concealed in the house of Fell, they obtained a viva of assiitance, empowering them . to make , search, aid to call up.in the peace officers to give them arsit ance in the performance of that duty. In consequence of this they went to the defendant, I`l4l3ean, who was a beadborough, and called upon him to accompany t:.em to Fell's house. O•) Arriving there they asicei ii Captain Creeser, who lodged in the 11 ,use, xas at home: an answer in the affirmative being given, Stark was ihewn up stairs to Mr. Creeser's re — roii, on the first Boor, and on entering told him h- came to search for contraband knurls, whicli he had 'taken from en board the Mertz% Mrs. Fell, who listened at ddor, on heating this ran up stairs. wl,lch Stark perceiving, he followed, and luttod her in the act of taking an India silk shawl tr..ns a box . , which she attempted to conceal under the be-d. lie pre vented her, however, upon which she seized him by :he collar, and screamed r itt for assistance. Joblma Fcll and Creeser urn) this e-mail up, and lin:Illy threat Stark down stairs. 1‘1 , 13?..n was called upn to assist, but refused, and the s .arch WAS not comi•leted till the assistance of three cflicers from the Thames M. lice (ACC WAS Ob!.tilled, when six BandauA hand- kerchiefs and another shAwl were found. The prisoners were all could guilty. • Upon the part el the defendants, font allidayits were put in. The first fr..rn Joshua Fell, stating. teat he had no knowledge of the bwiness u; , on whit!' Stark and his companion came, ti:l ! by the screams of his witi, whom, on running up stairs, ho found tindres.ed, and almost fainting on the bed. Under such circumst.aaces, he was n — atui ally irritated, and, irrhaps, behaved with a &glee of violence which, under other circumstances, iw ;ht n)t be justifiAble. Ills wife, who was tar advanced in pregnan c y, had, in consequence of the fright site received on tl:is oec , sion, tniscarried. The shAwls and h.►ndkerch'cls &nt], he stated, had been pun. chased by hint without any knowledge of their being vuttraband, and had been in wear I)r several years. Au affidavit horn M:s. Fdl, staid, that shy showed Stark into Mr. Creeser's room, and then went up to her room to change her dress; she had partly stripped herself, and was searching in a best foe something to wear, when Stark came behind her, seized her round the waist, and took from her hand a shawl she had been wearing f 4 four years : she was so much alarmed that she screamed violently and threw herself on the Bed, and, in consequence of her fright, shortly afterwards miscarried. The third affidavit was !rem Creeser, denying all knowledge of contraband goods being in the house, and saying, that any part he had taken in the affair was owing to the entreaties of Fell, on finding his wife in so extraordinary a situation. The fourth affidavit was from M , l3ean, stating his ignorance of the nature of a warrant of assistance, and the fact was, that as Fell himself was a constable, he was fearful of committing himself. Mr. GURNEY addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, and submitted, that of all the cases of resistance to officers, in the execution of their duty, which had come before the Cleft, and ef which he had heard, this seemed to be the least offensive. He observed, that it did not appear that Mt. Fell had any knowledge of the object of Stark's visit to Mr. Creeser, until alarmed by the elks of his wife, and the state in which he found her was quite sufficient to warrant something like a feeling of indignation on his Nit. With tespect to Mr. Creeser, be had not offered any resistance till ca'led en by Fell ; and the guilt of ISl , llean was, in great measure palli,itcd, !torn his being ignorant of the nature and object of a w rit of assistance. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL having addressed the Court in support of the prosecution, The male defendants were sentenced to pay a fine of 4'lo each, and Ann Fell to pay a tine of 15s. ed. THE KING V. JOHN I'EEI:LESS AND ROUT. HORNS. These defendants were likewise brought up to re ceive the judgment of the Court, upon an informa tion, charging them with assaulting Wm. Marsh, an Officer of the Customs, in the execution of his duty, at Leinham, in the County of Kent, on the 14th of June last. It appeared that on the day in question, the pri soners were observed in the toad, near the house of a firmer named Payne, with a cart, which Marsh sus , pected contained contraband goods. On his attempt ing to ge towards the cart, the prisoners preceded him, and took two bludgeons from it, with which they threatened " to do for him," if he interrupted them. On his following them, Peerless threw a stone at him, and Norris took a piece of a pole from a hedge, with which he approached him, as if with intent to strike him. Upon this he, having borrowed Mr. Payne the farmer's gun, fired, and Peerless tell. He was, however, able to get up and follow the cart, into which Norris had go!, and was very active in throwing out small kegs of brandy. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendants, addressed the Court, and observed, that although he could offer no thing in extenuation of the defendants' guilt, yet as Peerless had been severely wounded, he trusted the Court, in passing sentence, would take into conii deration the sufferings he had already undergone. Sir S. LE BLANC, in giving judgment, observed, that the Court could make no distinction in the pu nishment of the defendants. It was true, char Peer less had been severely wounded ; but a: he had gone out upon an illegal adventure, he must take all the consequences which followed. The sentence of the Court was, " That the defendants should be impri. son, d in the House of Con ection for the county of Kent, for the space of one year, and ill it thty should be forthwith committed to the custody of the Mar. steal in execution of their sentence." Another forgery has been discovered on the Coot. missioners for victualling, the Navy, which, it Seel2ls, WAS ,ffected near two years since. The perpetrator 1145 hitherto eluded detection. Five hundred persons have gone into the Fleet and King's Bench, since the commencement of the pre. sent Term, in order to take the benefit of the Insol vent Act.
