COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-THIS DAY. LAW PROMOTION. This morning, in the Court of King's Bench, MI• CIIALL NOLAN, tsq. King's Counsel, took the oaths of a negiAnce and supremacy to his :Majesty George the Fourth, and was sworn in before their Lordships in open Court, a Welsh Judge. MANSLAUGHTER. Mr. ERSKINE rose and said, that on a former dry he moved for and obtained a rule to spew cause why an individual named Povey, committed to prison under the charge of Manslaughter, should not be admitted to bail. The Learned Counsel said the defendant was committed under that charge by the ve.dict of a Co: o ner's Inquest, for having ejected the deceased person, who was at the time a lodger in his house, while labour ing under that dreadful malady the small-pox. Ou his previous application, Mr. Erskine stated, the Lord Chief Justice desired that the depositions of the respective witnesses examined befoi e the Coroner, should be brought into Court ; they were now ready to be pro duced with the affidavits, which being handed to the bench, and lead by the proper officer of the Court, The LORD enter JUSTICE said, that an order might he taken for the Magistrates to hold the defendant to bail, himself in 1004 and two sureties of 201. or four in 101. each. CONSISTORY COURT, MAY is. GREGG AND GREGG. The Court was occupied for some hours in hearing the argument of Counsel in this case, upon the ques tion of costs; Mrs. Gregg having applied to the Court to direct her costs to be paid, before proceeding to the principal cane, which is brought by Mr. Gregg for a restitution of conjugal rights, and has been pending ever since 1819. Certain acts of cruelty have been pleaded in bar by the wife; and as she professes to ex amine witnesses on the allegation in which those acts are charged, she has prayed the Court to make the order in question as a preliminary step. The application was opposed by the Counsel for Mr. Gregg, on the ground that the L-idy wai in a much better situation to pay the costs of these proceedings than the husband; that his business as a Solicitor in Cork produced Mm not more than 5001. per annum, or thereabouts ; and that he had nine children, seven of whom being still in their minority, he was at the charge of maintaining and educating; that on the other hand, l Mrs. Gren, who had nobody to support but herself, possessed a dein. income of 580/. a-) e.i ; and that there foie her prayer ought not to be complied with. The Learned Counsel admitting the general rule to be, that the expenses of proceedings at law between husband and s' ife were to be paid by the husband, con tended, however, that where the wife bad a separate rope' ty and evate secured to her, the case was diffe rent and they relied, as authority for such exception to the rule, on several cases reported in books of prac tice, viz.—" Wilson v. Wilson," (Consistory Court, 1797); and " Davis and Davis," (Arches, 1789)—the first of them reported at length, the second adverted to in a note in 2 Haggard's Reports, '203 ; also on " Fast v. Fust," (Consistory, 1739); " Holmes v. Holmes," (Arches, 1755) ; and " Lady D'Aguilar v. Baron liAguilar," (Consistory, 1794.) Slr CHRISTOPHER Rohl NSON said he should take time to consult the authorities, and consider of his judgment. Yesterday morning, his MAJESTY, attended by his flou.rhold, heard Divine Service performed at his Palace, in P.lll. mall, by the Rev. Dr. BLOMBERG.

In the STAR of Saturday, we announced the sudden death of Lieutenant-Colonel WESTERN, the second to Mr. BATTIER, and have since received the following letter ft - till that Gentleman, on the subject of his late duel with the Marquis of LoxporatnEnav " S:torday night, 11 o'Clock, May 15, 1824. " SIR-I have only this evening seen, in The Morning Chronick of this day, a letter, with annexed documents, purporting to be a statement of the particulars of a recent correspondence between Sir 11. Ilardinge and Lieutenant-Colonel Western, relative to a subject on which I felt it necessary to require an explanation from the Mar qui• of Londonderry. The sudden death of my gallant friend yes terday has placed me in circumstances of the most unparalleled em barrassment, for which I trust to the sympathy of every brave and liberal mind. The specious representation of Sir H. Hartlinge con tains matter which, though totally at variance with the true cha racter of the transaction, and deficient in most important circum stances, I cannot, on the spur of the moment, as bearing the au thentication of Lieutenant-Colonel Western's signature, deny or refute. But I have no doubt of being enabled to prove that my friend's signature was obtained to a document which he bad nut thoroughly examined, relying oil Sir 11. Ilardinge being incapable of recording the particulars partially or untruly. While I endea vour to rectify the impression intended to be conveyed by the late , ta•ement, I entreat my friends, particularly my military friends, to suspend their judgment. WM. BATTIER. " Thomson', Hotel, Cavendish-square." SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION or TIIE IRISH PEASI ' NY'It•Y. A meeting of the Members of this Society took place on Saturday, in the Horticultural Board Room, Regent street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the last year. At two o'clock a considerable body of the subscribers were in attendance, among whom we noticed Locd Carberry, Lord Dunally, Sir John Doyle, Sir C. Doyle, Sir A. Chichester, Right Honourable M. Fitzgerald, Colonel French, Major Warburton, Mr. Tighe, Mr. It. Wellesley, M.P. Mr. J. Smith, 31.1'. General Hart, Sir M. Tierney, Mr. Owen of Lanark, &c. &c. It was announced by advertisement that hip Royal Highness the Duke of YORK was to take the Chair__ but a: 11;411-past two a letter was received from Sir Her bert Taylor, apologising for hi: absence, and Sir John Doyle presided. Mr. MITCHELL, the Secretary, read the Report, from which the funds of the Society appear ed tc be as follows : Old Four per Cents. (nov. , ) . . . X 5,000 Three per Bents. Consols . . . . 5,000 Exchequer Balls 1,000 In the hands of the Treasurer . . . 40 X 11,040 Mr. R. WELLESLEY, as Chairman of the Committee, rose at the conclusion of the Report, and moved that it should be adopted. Lord CARBERRY seconded the motion, which wa, carried nem. con. Colonel FRENCH expressed his sincere admiration of the noble and liberal conduct of the London Committee, whose generosity lie was satisfied would ever live in the recollection of Irishmen. He moved " That the Society hold meetings on the first Tuesday in every month in the City of London."—Carried. The Bishop of LIMERICK was at a loss for words to express his since►ity ; he participated in feelings of gra titude towards the City of London Committee, for the manner in which they had stepped forward to relieve the calamities of his unhappy country. Sir ULYSSES BURGH moved the thanks of the Meet ing to the sixty Charitable Loan Institutions in Ireland, and hoped that their numbers might be increased. Sir JOHN DOYLE moved the thanks to the Duke of Yot k, which was put and carried by acclamation. Doctor SAUNDERS came forward and said, that he had entered the room as a casual visitor, but was so , stt uck with the benevolent object of the Society towards his countrymen, that he requested permission to become a subscriber to its funds—(Hear). Sir CHARLES DOYLE and one or two other Gentlemen requested a similar permission. The Bishop of LIMERICK—" And I, too, Sir John, put in my claim for the sante permission"—( Applause.) Sir J. DOYLE- 46 1 do not know what sort of a Chair. man I make, but I do not think I am a bad recruiting officer —(A laugh). And my Lord Bishop, of all the recruits that I ever obtained in the whole course of my recruiting service, I am sure I never had one who was better calculated to pass the mot sc:upulous muster than yourself"—(Laughter and applause). Mr. R. WELLESLEY then moved the thanks of the Society to Sir John Doyle, for his services in the Chair. Sir J.DOYLE, in returning thank;, reiterated the warm sense he entertained of the value of this compliment. GENERAL PETITION OF THE CATHOLICS.—At the General Meeting of the Catholic Association on Satur day se'nnight, Ali. O'CONNELL reported from the Com mittee which bad beeii appointed on the previous Satur day to wait on the Attorney• General, relative to the ge neral Petition of the Roman Catholics, praying for eman cipation. He said lie had written to Mr. l'numcm on Saturday, and on Sunday received a reply from the Right Honourable Gentleman, saying that he was obliged to proceed immediately to London to attend his duty in Parliament, but he pointed out the way by which the Petition was to be sent after him—through the Secretary's Office at the Castle. It was agreed that application should be made at all the Roman Ca tholic chapels in Dublin, to get signatures to the Petition. The following is an extract ol a letter from Havre, Alay 10:—" You have had an elopement from your sides of the water in tolerable high life, to say the eldest son of a Welsh Earl, with Lady A—. They are living in the vicinity of this town in tolerable good style, of coarse nat visited. His Lordship having studied under Belcher, he thought he might, upon his arrival, exercise his art with impunity upon a Frenchman; however, he had to pay pretty smartly for the attempt." At the Sessions for Flintshire, Mr. T:igg, a man of gentlemanly appearance, was indicted for deserting his wife and family, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of Hawarden. It appeared that Mr. Trigg, who is a person of good education and a surgeon, had formed an adulterous connexion with a publican's wife in the neighbourhood, with whom lie eloped, leaving his own wife, an interesting woman, and four young chiidten, without means for their support. The precarious assist ance of friends was soon expended, and she was neces:i tated to ask relief of the pail, who in consequence took the present measures. The prisoner made a sorry de fence, and was found Guilty. The CHAIR MAN sentenced him to six months' imp! isonment, and to be kept to hard labour. On judgment being pronounced, he faintei. Dr. MASKELY NE was known to be very taciturn. One day, on his return home in the Greenwich stage, a servant girl who travelled with him, and was disposed to be very chatty, received, as usual, nothing but mono syllables. On her leaving the coach, she thus asisitessed the Doctor—" If you're a wise man, you've been a fool for not talking ; but if you are a fool, you've shetvn you: wisdom by nut exposing your Io y by your tongue; surd so I wish you a good rn nning." EFFTCT.S OF THE LATE HEAVY RAINS. The late heavy rains have done considerable damage in vai ions places on the banks of the Thames, and espe cially on the small 'jeers leading into it ; the whole of the low grounds on the Kent side of the aver Are over flowed, and a number of housei situated near Deptf o zd Creek have been desttoyed, with propetty to a consi derable amount, in consequence of the Creek having washed away their foundations, and numerous parties of people, horses, and carts, were employed the whole of yesterday in that neighbourhood, securing what could be collected horn the flood. Saturday last the low grounds near Stratford and Hackney were completely vet flowed, so much so that people were employed can ying passengers through the marshes at Stratford and Lea Bfidge, with carts and horses, at the rate of sixE•ence each. The bridge itself, at the latter place, was covered with water to a con,i derahle de}•th. The Green \lan, near Stratford, was surrounded by the flood, and the occupants, as well as those of several adjoining houses, were taken out of the first floor windows. The ancient water-cnu•se named Turnmill-brook, communicating with the Thames from the vicinity of Highgate and II unpstead, in that part between St. Pancras and Ow Moose of Correction, overflowed the banks, inundated the gardens, and did considerable in jury to the inhabitant) and their dwellings. he Edinburgh and Boston Mails did not arrive in town until past twelve o'clock yesterday. The Fakenham and Cambridge Mail, and York Wellington Coach, were also detained by the fl sods. The first delay caused to the Edinburgh and Yin k coaches was at Caton, in Huntingdonshire, by the waters being out to a vast ex • teat. On the arrival of the four at Wades Mill, the whole place was inundated to a dreadful degree, and three-fourths of the bridge was washed away. From that place to Ware the water presented a devastating appearance, and the houses were in some instances three and four feet under water. At Ware, between the two bridges, the railing or a timber yar d had given way, and the whole street was blocked up with many floating pieces of the paling, and large masses of timber; the delay caused at this place was four hour s. On their artival at Waltham Cross. it was ascertained that the bt idge at Enfield Wash was carried away by the cur rent, and the waters so deep that a passage Was impos. Bible; consequently the coachman proceeded by Enfield Town, and came into the main road at Tottenham. During last night the Fakenham coach teas over turned, but no damage was caused by the accident. Near to Edmonton, two carmen were drowned, and four cart horses; and in many places carts and wag gons lay overturned in the ditches. Thursday the neighly,urhood of Chelmsford wal visited by a violent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, which at some places came down in such for renzs, as to wash many fields so as to leave the grain lately sown uncovered. At Cold Norton, upon the farm oc cupied by Mr. George Abrey, a short distance from Danbury, a large oak tree was shivered to atumc, the bark forced off, and scatteted, with the branches of the tree, to a considerable distance. The rain, on Saturday last, caused a greater flood on the river Cohn, near ltickmansworth, than has been witnessed for the last twenty-nine years. The waters rose on Sunday morning so rapidly as to undermine and .blow up the Highway-btidge over the river, near tie Church, and to endanger the premises and lives of the inhabitants residing in the neighbourhood. SUFFERERS AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE• GLASGOW, MAY 13. Wednesday, in pursuance of a requisition numerously signed, and addressed to the LOPD PnovosT, a Public Meeting was held in the Town Hall here, for the pur pose of opening a subsctiption to aid in relieving the bitter distress and misery with which so many of our fellow-countrymen and subjects are at present surrounded in Southern Africa. The LORD PROVOST was called to the Chair, and having shortly stated the object of the Meeting, a series of Resolutions were, after a very short conversation, unanimously adopted, and a handsome ,subscription immediately entered into by the Gentlemen who were present, and which, we have no doubt, will be followed up in a manner that will do credit to this great and opulent commercial city. We would earnestly call the attention of our fellow. citizens to this work of charity and benevolence. Their mites were never bestowed in a more necessary aod merciful cause. The charity solicited is not solicited to be bestowed upon Spaniards callous to their own and their country's liberty, glory, and honour. It is not so licited to be scattered over and into distant corners of the world amidst savages, barbarians—New Zealanders, Ashantees, or other descendants of Ham—but to relieve the unprecedented misery and starlings—poverty, wretchedness, and despair, of our own flesh and blood —Britons—men and Women, white and civilized—our children, ft iends, and relations—fellow-subjects and fel low Christians—surrounded with, and subjected to wants and dangers amidst the bare, wild, and inhospi table regions of Southern Africa, there exposed to the ferocity of the wild beasts of the desert ; and to men as brutal and ferocious as they. No words we can use can adequately describe the distress of those whom we are now called upon to relieve. Thousands who never knew want, feel in Southern Africa its bitterest pangs. Hundreds who moved in a superior sphere of life, ate there most destitute and most wretched. The sufferers who perished amidst the flames of the Abeona were fortunate compared to those who linger oat a misetable existence in Southern Africa. At the Cage of Good Hope, we asset t, English women are starving ; English women ate naked ; lingli.li women, once young ; lovely, and born to grace society, are com pelled to sacrifice their virtue to obtain from the rough sailor a miserable pittance, to prolong, and perhaps but for a moment, a miserable existence. This is misery which cannot plead in vain to the Ladies of Glasgow ; this is misery, to relieve which we :,hould like to see their exertions and their colloctions applied. It is more worthy their support and their attention than the phi lanthropy which lately loused them to action. It it labour and charity which outlive the wreck of worlds, and meet the highest approbation 4)1 the 111GDEST ; the unerring JUDGE: " I was hungry :tad ye gave me meat, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye clothed me, sick and in prison and ye admiKisteied unto me."

Detachments of Recruits embarked on Sunday, at the Glasgow Wharf, for Scotland, to join the 95th Regiment of Foot at Pais ley, and the 99th at Glasgow. Detachments of Recruits marched on Wednesday, from the Re cruiting Department, in Westminster, for Chichester, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight.

About two o'clock Sir litraey and nearly one hundred Ladi.:s and Officers, sat down to etjeuat a la faurchelle, given by the Officers of Royal Artillery and Engineers, at their Mess Rooni,which was tastefully decorated for the orcaiion. The entertainment was upon an extensive scale, aml reflects considerable credit on Mr. WRIGHT, of the Crown Inn, Rochester, under whose cuperinterdance every arrangement was made, and who produced from his excellent stuck of foreign wines eleven different sot ts.

[For " Military Promotions," see first page.] SPORTING IN'I ELLIGENCE. BEN BURNS AND SAMPSON. A fight took place between these redoubted heroes on Saturday evening, in Golden-square, and it arose on,: of the broils of the late disappointment of the fight between Josh Hudson and Sampson, and it at least afforded a proof of what Sampson, full of training, could have done with Josh, after this fight with a man in no condi tim. Soma angry expressions first passed, when Ben doubted whether Sampson could beat Martin, and the latter gave him a punch on the head, and both went to work, and well punished each other. Five rounds were fought, when the friends of each stopped the Chancery suit, for a trial for some bussel. In the first round there was a rapid exchange of blows, and Ben drew first blood from the head, and in closing both went down. 7be claret streamed from Sampson's pimple merrily, and he waited a bit to pull off his toggery for the next round. 2. Burn was hit heavy with the left hand, which queered the right ogle, but he returned, and parried Sampson's right hand in a mas terly manner. The round finished by both being down. 3. Burn placed a left-banded hit on the head, and avoided Samp son's blow. Burn sheaved want of condition at the end of the round. 4. Both hit away inclined to do mischief. Ben's ogle was lumping, and Sampson's claret was kept flowing, and both again scent down. .5. The waist of a ring was here manifest, and after two or three rallying hits, pressed by the people, a Mr. Sergeant got between the Men and promoted a cessation of hostilities for the present. Each had enough for the time and went off content. Burn offers to match hilnself for any suns. A new match was made for Sampson on Thursday last, at Ran. dall's, with Jem Ward, for one hundred a-side. A second match is stated to have been made for him with Jack Martin, 2001. to 100/. by some of his admirers in Leadenhall Mar ket. A deposit has been made in both cases, but which is to take place first has not been arranged. Tun LATE DISAPEOINTMENT.—Both Sampson and Hudson have been acquitted of any share in the late disappointment of the Fancy in Cambridgeshire. The author of the mischief is stated to have been a person who would have lost heavily if Hudson had won. Hudson tights Cannon, the Windsor bargeman, on the 23d June. 1 W 1 1 1 I 1 WALKING BACKWARDS. Lloyd, the pedestrian, completed his match on Saturday, of walking forty miles backwards each day for ten successive days. CORN-EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MAY 17. The quantities of Corn that came in last week were tolerably fair for this season of the year. This morning there are only sma fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Peas, Irons Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, with very little Corn from more distant ports. Our Millers still content themselves with purchasing those samples of Wheat which are in the best condition, and such have fully maintained the terms of this day sennight ; but all other qualities find sale with extreme difficulty, unless offers d at lhwer prices.— From the state of the averages, the bonded Barley is expected to he liberated next week: this keeps the Barley trade very dull, and although offered on lowered terms, our buyers will rut make pur chases. Beans fully maintain the prices last quoted, on account of the late wet weather occasioning more demand for them. There is nothing doing in Peas of either kind. Good Oats find buyers at much the same rates as last quoted, but the trade cannot be reported brisk. flout is still very dull. PRICP3 OW BOA RD SHIT. Wheat, Red (new), 60s. 645.
