The total of these Redactions in the Cavalry, Foot Guards, and Infantry, amount to more than .13,000 men and officers; theArttilery . not included. It is said that the Earl of LIVERPOOL was desirous of reducing the Army to the 80th Regiment of Foot, but the remonstrances were so strung from Head quarters, that all representations of the intolerable burthen on the country were insufEcin.t, nor could he succeed in procuring the reduction to stop even at the 90th, as the three higher regiments, the 91st, 92d, and 93d, were Scots, with local influence, and under high auspices. The continuance of a separate Staff, as it was termed, having become unnecessary, the counties of which it consisted are now comprised within the Dis trict in which Major Sir Jona Evac has a military command. Those Counties are, Derby, Northamp ton, Nottingham, Leicester, Lincoln, Rutland, Salop, Stafford, and Norwich.' The Major-General's head quarters remain at Pontefract.

Wednesday sennigl;,;l; Second Annual Meeting of these RaCent: CO:111111enCrd, and, on that day, and the following, there was excellent running ; although the weather was very ce l la. vourable, it did not prevent the occurrence of a very numerous meeting. The Friday morniag was peculiarly favourable for the most interestiog chace that ever took place in that country. Fifteen of the most celebrated hunters from different Counties met, and were entered to contest the prize, which was about £lOO, and twelve of the best appeared on the ground about two ;o'clock, mounted by Gentiemen selected for superior horseman ship. They started near Newtown, and ended at Bonmahon, I an d the ground for four miles was so judiciously marked out (ly ing between two roads), that the spectators could witness nearly the entire of this admirable chace. For the first three miles it was di E:ult to discover which horse had the advantage, but on assailing Ott hill commencing the fourth mile, after a desperate struNle, Mr. ittsICAYNt'S famous horse, rode by Mr. Causw, l and Mr. M. Pow:::.'s horse, rode by Mr. Bersoor., took the lead, followed eleely by the rest. Mr. ROICATNi'II horse was the victor, and never was there witnessed so severe and well cow:es:cd a chace, or so numerous and respectable an assemblage. They r..,a the four miles, itArryiug 12 stone, through an enclosed rountry, in fourzcen minutes.

LAW INTELLICENTL COURT OP ElitO'S BENCH, OCTOBER SC This day, the Judges Of the King's Bench, Mr. Justice BAILEY, Mr. Justice ABBOTT, and Mr. Jus. tice HOLROYM sat in Serjeants' Inn, to try several remanent causes. WILSON D. DICKSON AND MINIM This was a case for• special argument, arising out of an award made by Mr. GAZELEE. The award originated from an action on the case, brought against three persons, as joint owners of the ship Hope, on board of which the - plaintiff, Mr. Wilson, a merchant, had shipped goods for Senegal and Goree. The Hope was taken by an American privateer, knd her cargo nearly destroyed. She was re-captured by one of the King's frigates, and carried into Bermuda, where the defendant Dickson sold the remainder of the cargo, without the authority from the shipper of the goods, and the further prosecution of the voyage was lost. The plaintiff brought his action, and a verdict was taken by consent for £20,000, subject to the award of Mr. GAzELEF, who reduced the verdict to the sum of £3,196. Divers points of law arose in the course of the evidence,thich, in this instance, were submit ted to the Court. Mr. RICUARDSOV was heard in support of the award; and Mr. SCARLET contended, that the amount of damages found by Mr. Gazelee ought to be re duced by £lOOO. The Court were decidedly with Mr. Scarlet in his view of the point, and the judgment was, that the plaintiff was entitled 'to the sum awarded b; Mr. Gazelee, deducting Eiboo. Another question, arising out of a policy of in , sutance case, occupied a considerable portion of the day.—Lord ELLEtraoftonokt was not in Court. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. ASSAULT-DOWLING V. HUNT. Yesterday the Middlesex Sessions commenced at Hicks's Hall, before FRANCIS COSIST, Esq. the Chair man, and a full Bench of Magistrates. The first case was the trial of Mr. Hunt, for an assault upon Mr. Vincent George Dowling, on the Bth of September, in St. Clement's Cht.rch-yard. Before the trial came on ) Mr. Hunt, who sat at the Barrister's table, rose and addressed the Court in the following terms :—" Mr. Chairman—l am here to day to stand my trial for an assault, and I have an application to make to the Court for my own protec• tion. A person who sirs opposite me has just made use of the following expression : I see the dema gogue Hunt, is first on the list; I hope he'll be transported.' I therefore apply to the whether such language is to be tolerated, when applied to a man who is here brought before a Jury of his coun try. I understand the person is a Barrister. Ido not ; know whether he is or not.; but I appeal to the Court to know whether I am not to be protected from such language as this ?" Mr. ALLEY, who was Counsel for Mr. Dowling, rose and said, that any expression which might have fallen from his Learned Friend, who was a Barrister, could not have been intended for Mr. Hunt's ear. Mr. JESSOP, who was the Gentleman alluded to, and who sat at the table, but was not dressed in his wig and gown, said, that he did not mean to be over heard by Itfr. Hunt in any thing he might have said: whatever had been his conversation, it was not, he as sured the Court, intended for Mr. Hunt's ear. Mr. HtrsT I think you did address your lan guage to me. It certainly was uttered loud enough to be heard by all around here." Mr. ALLEY interposed, and desired that Mr. Hunt should not interrupt the proceedings of the Court by complaints of this kind. Mr. HUNT—" I am addressing the Chairman,"and not yon, Sir : and it is to his instructions, not to your's, that I shall pay deference." The Cu AIRMAN—" Mr. Hunt, you must be aware that nothing can arise in your particular case which could justify the slightest indecorum towards you, standing as you do. The Court is always most an xious to accommodate every defendant, as far as it can be done with propriety; but, on the other hand, it cannot well take notice of private conversations, whatever they may happen to be ; and I am sorry that the seat in which you sit had placed you near enough to overhear any thing which might have been said by the Gentleman opposite to you. It is true, that the Court generally allows a defendant to sit at the table, either for the purpose of being near his Counsel, or any particular friend whose assistance he may want. I think, on reflection, you must be of opinion, that such expressions as those you have al luded to, could not, by possibility have been meant' for the public ear. The Gentleman to whom you ascribe them, could not possibly have publicly ha zarded them on the eve of a defendants trial. I can give you no assistance under the circumstances that you say have occurred." Mr. ALLEY—" Mr. Hunt, as you have thought proper to overhear a private conversation, and then make it the ground of a public complaint, you must slow quit your seat and stand at the bar, as all other defendants usually do." The CHAIRMAN—" lam very sorry that any thing should have occurred to have made Mr. Hunt's ap plication, or yours, Mr. Alley, necessary." Mrs ALLEY —" r. Hunt, you must go to the bar." Mr. Hunt—" I again tell you that I shall attend to the Chairman, and not to you." Mr. ALLEY—" Then if you chuse to be insolent, I must move the Court that you be placed at the bar. The Court will exercise its jurisdiction towards you as it would to any other defendant." Mr. Huoit—" I neither give nor take insolence ; I am addressing the Court. Mr. SKETCHLRY (one of the Magistrates on the Bench)—" I think Mr. Hunt ought to be put to the bar. It is an indulgence to allow a defendant to sit where he does, and after what has just passed, I think he had better change his place." Mr. Hunt—" I shall bow with great submission to the decision of the Chairman; and as Mr. Alley has made this application, I, in nty turn, ask of the Court to be permitted to remain where I am, as an indulgence, and not to be put to the bar, where I could have no convenience of taking notes of the evidence given." • The CHAIRMAN interposed, and directed the Clerk of Arraigns to read over the indictment, and proceed with the trial. The indictment was accordingly read, which charged Mr. hunt with assaulting Mr. Dow- Ii nt on the ad) of September. Ife, Hunt Waded Not Guilty. Mr. ALLEY then rose, And In rot fti repeated his mO4 on, that Mr. Hunt be put to the bar; The CHAIRMAN" Then as the moddrt hds been made, Mr. Hunt must quit his seat, but I dp not (think it right he should be put to the bat-, as he bays he wishes to take notes—let him, therefore, remove to the end of the table." Mr. Hunt bowed to the Cottrta and' tOdk his seat at the end of the table adjoining the Jury-box. Mr. CUAWOOD then opened the pleadings. Mr. ALLEY stated the plaintiff's case to the Jury. In allusion to what had just occurred In Court, he observed that he neve r should have thought of refu sing to Mr. Hunt that courtesy which wal s Metimes extended to defendants, had it not been for the use which was in the present instance made of it. The offence with which the defendant stood charged was for committing an assault of a very aggravated cha racter. The Learned Counsel said, that although he bad a volume of instructions in his brief, shewing the utter falsehood of Mr. Huut's imputations upon Mr. Doviling's character, and explaining very fully, and he thought very satisfactorily, a number of tran sactions not of very recent date, yet he thought it More proper and decorous to abstain altogether from matter which was not directly connected with the time and circumstance of the assault. The Learned Counsel then detailed them, precisely in the manner they have been already. stated to the public. Mr. V. G. Dowling was called to prove tht assault. He was examined by Mr. CVRWOOD. He stated that on the Bth of Septernher he went to the shop of Mr. Clement, in the Strand, for the purpose of returning a Newspaper, when he saw Mrr. Hunt and several other persons in the place. Mr. Hunt immediately addressed witness, and said, " Well , Mr. Spectacle Spy, are you disposed to finish the horsewhipping you commenced in Covent Garden?" Witness an swered, " I wish to have no altercation with you," and then turned round to leave the shop, when Mr. Hunt repeated his offensive expressions, and asked him if he was disposed to drew himself a man and go out to fight him in the street? Witness replied, that he was unaccustomed to such exhibitions, and cer tainly would not; he also said that he was not de serving the false imputations which Mr. Hunt had applied to him. Mr. Hunt then charged him with publishing some false statements respecting a public transaction in which he had been engaged—witness denied this charge, and Mr. Hunt retorted upon him, that if he had not done it himself he employed some other person to do it. Witness denied this ahr, and was withdrawing from the shop, when Mr. Hunt said, he would•find an opportunity of thrash ing him. Witness said he was there then, but would not settle the matter in the manner pointed out by Mr. Hunt. The latter then followed him out to the door, and struck witness a blow in the face, and said, " Will you resent that ?"—Witness replied, " Certainly not in the way you seem to wish ; for I • should feel myself disgraced by noticing any thing said or done by a man who has disgraced himself as you have Several persons were outside the shop door at the time, 'and Mr. Hunt introduced him to • them as "Dowling, the Government Spy." Witness gave no provocation whatever to Mr. Hunt for this treatment. Ile only received one blow. He had defied Hunt to prove in any degree the imptra • tion he bad cast upon him.—Mr. Hunt then proceeded to cross . -examine Mr. Dowling. Mr. Hunt—" Did I not invite you out to prove your self a man, and when you said you were unaccas corned to this mode of proceeding, did I not observe that that was extraordinary, for you wer e active enough- at Covent Garden when you were surrounded by your constables, and what made you cool then Mr. Dowling—" I recollect your saying something about constables, but what were the precise expres sions I cannot now recollect." I had heard that you and your brother meant to assault me in the street. Mr. Hunt—" Was that the only. reason ; did nut your conscience tell you that you deserved it ?" Mr. Dowling—" Vaen I say I expected to hear from you, I meant that I thought I should hear from you in a different manner. I expected to have been called upon as one Gentleman would call on another?" Mr. Hunt—" How do you mean ?" Mr. Dowling—" Does not your conscience tell yoli ?" Mr. Hunt appealed to the Court whether a direct answer ought not to be given to his question. The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative. Mr. Dowling then said, that after the public insult he offered to Mr. Hunt at Covent Garden, he re,- -tainly expected to have heard from him in the only course that a gentleman ought to have resorted to. Mr. Hunt—" You mean to fight a duel ?" Mr. Dowling--" Most certainly." Mr. Hunt— ,, Then the provocation you gave me at Covent Garden was with the view of getting me to fight a duel ?"--A. " Certainly." Hunt--" Then when I called you out you say, to fight in Mr. Clement's :lop, did you hear me say I wanted to box you ?" Mr. Dowling-1;X inferred so, certainly, for when you invited me out to fight, I could not imagine you meant to fight idueLin the middle of the day, in St. Clement's Church-yard." Mr. Dowling thetradmitted, that he had said he should feel himself disgraced by taking notice 'of a man so degraded as Mr. Hunt, and that the blow he received was a very slight one, which merely knock ed off his spectacles—it did not give him the slight est injury. He did not recollect that Mr. Hunt after he struck him had said, that if he were so abomi. nable a coward as not to resent a blow, it would be cruel to repeat-it —no stach expression was used in his hearing. He repeated his admission, that he went to the hustings to give Mr. Hunt that sort of provo cation which he thought would induce him to resent it by resorting to a duel. Mr. Dowling, in his re-examination, said, that he went to the hustings after receiving gross provocation from Mr. Hunt.—No other witness being called, Mr. HUNT addressed- the Court and Jury to the folloWing-effect " Gentlemen, I stand here before you as an Eng lishman, and one of your fellow-countrymen. I am charged with the commission of a heinous offence, that of wantonly assaulting oneof his Majesty's lit subjects. If I were proved to be guilty of a wan and unprovoked assault, I am sure that I should ceiVe no favour from you,. or from the Court that I should expect - nothing else than strict at your hands.
