1 • -- -, 1,411' REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, A 1.11( 25. THE REV. DR. WILSON V. THE CHURCHWARDENS OF ST. rnomas.—WßlT OF PROHIBITION. The LORD Cul FY JUSTICE, at the sitting of the Court this morning, delivered their Lordships' judgment. — This s" a; an application for a prohition, restraining the Eccle-iastical Court from trying a Tiestion Jexist ence or nun existence of a custom. This was a matter of fact, and as such ought to be tried at common law. The Court were decidedly of opinion the Eccle,iastical Court were not competent, and therefore the writ of prohibition must ge.—Rule made absolute. CRIMINAL INFORM A TION.—THE KING V. CARLTON 1 Atrb OTHERS. This was an information filed against the proprietors of the 13ii.ish Press newspaper, for a libel inserted in that paper, reflecting on the character of Mr. Chetwynd, Member of Parl;ament for Stafford. The alleged libel was contained in certain comments made in that paper on the conduct of Mr. Chetwynd, in his character of Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, and whilst presiding as snch on Cie trial of two individuals named Hint. Tt;e ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on an early day in last Term, obtained a Rule to spew cause why a criminal info' oration should not be filed against the defendant Carlton, as printer of the British Mess, and the other defendants, as publisher and proprietor of that paper, for the libel in question. Mr. SCARLETT now strewed cause against the Rule,. and contended, first, that the comments in question con tained nothing which furnished matter for a criminal prosecution ; and secondly, that even if they did, this Rule must be discharged, as the affidavits upon which the Rule was obtained did not support the application to such an extent as to justify making the Rule abso- Tlie Learned Counsel then proceeded to read the long affidavits upon which the Rule was granted, and which were stated in substance at the time the Rule was applied for. Mr. Justice llayt.Fy wished to know whether it was stated in any Fart of the affidavits that the Editor, or Conductor, or Writerb of the alleged libel in the news paper in question, .was acquainted with these facts at the time he wrote the paiagraph now charged as a libel? Mr. SCA R LETT was not prepared to answer. Mr. Justice BAYLEY said his i.bject in asking this question was this; if these facts, as now stated in affi davit, had been communicated to the writer of the pa ragraph, it might be presumed that he wrote under the feeling of irritation and sympathy, which would be excited in the .mind of a man by first hearing such a statement. Mr. Scijeant WYLDE said, the facts, as now set forth, were stated in the report in the country paper, which repot t was copied into the London paper, and on which the comments said to constitute the libel were made. Mr. SCARLETT observed, such being the ease, he trusted the fact would go far to justify the author a the comments. Mr. Scarlett was about to proceed in his argument, but was stopt by the Lord Chief Justice, who said he was obliged•to attend his duties in another place, and his Lea: ned Br otters rather desired that the Luther pr;:ceetlin: 2. s in this case should stand over. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, MAY O. lIASLAM V. JUGGLES. Mr. Serjeant ONsLow moved for a Rule to spew cause why an annuity, granted according to an old Act of Parliament, should not be set a >ide, on the ground of irregularity. The annuity had been paid for 23 years,. during which time GY2I. had been paid ; whereas it was alleged that the interest of only 'OOI. should have been given.—The Count- refused to grant the rule, on the ground of the length of time the annuity continued to be paid.— Rule refused. MICH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, MAY2S. THE ELIZA A NW—IMPORTANT COMM E CIAI. DECISION. This day Lord STowm.r. prefaced his judgment in this case by lamenting the ob)curity that existed in the Statutes on which this question resteJ, and which ob scurity was not only the cause of difficulty to this Court, but also to merchants, who were in consequence fre quently at a loss to know when they were offending against them. The circumstances of the present case were, that a cargo of meal had been conveyed from America by a vessel btionging to that country to St. Jago, in Cuba, and thence shipped on board a British vessel, and convey ed to Jamaica, where it was, together with the vessel, seized, on an alleged violation of the 28th of George 111. according to winch it was con tended that the importation ought to have taken place the entire distance in a British vessel, and that the meal ourlit to have been the property of a British subject. The qaestion then would be, was this an importation flow America or hi= Cuba? Many circumstances led to the conclusion that a fraudulent intention in this ca•e pervaded the n hole transaction, and the Court there foie confirmed the judgment of the Admiralty Court of Jamaica, but, under the circumstances of the case, should no: allow costs. CANAL Ix CHINA.-- From the western part of the city of Saigon, in Cochin China, a river or canal has been recently cut twenty-three English miles long, con sieving with a branch of the Cambodia River, by which a free water communication is opened with Cambodia, which is called by the Onamese Coumaigne. This canal is twelve feet deep throughout, about eighty feet v:ide, and was cut through immense for ests and morasses, in the short space of six weeks. Twenty-six thousand men were employed, night and day, by turn, in this stupendous undertaking, and seven thousand lives sacri ficed by fatigue and consequent disease. The banks of this canal are already planted sc ith the palmaia tree, which is a great favourite with the Onamese. Lit.Chron. A few weeks ago, as the workmen of Meows. Fletcher, brush manufacturers, of Stockport, were cutting up a large sycamore true at their manufactory near Chesterfield, the sawyers in the act of dissecting the bole of the true into plank, beard a piercing shriek proceed front the middle of the tree, and on opening the timber, found in the most central p.'rt of it, an enormous line toad of bean tiful colour and full of file. On examining the timber, it wig found perfectly sound above aid below the secret residence of this inmate. '11:e track it occupied was about 30 inches long, and from three tol our inches wide, and it appeared to have enjoyed the extent of Its cyufines, the part being cased with a dark barky substattee, and in some 04(44 quite 61000th. lhe sawing instrument had penetrated its residency, and put its life iii jeopardy at the time it pleaeied for , niercy. What effect the atmospheric air had upon it was not oh-1 served, for on its liberation it immediately disappeared amongst the rubbish. That part of the tree was of very large dimensions, and no coune'xion wiiatever appeared to exist with either root or l•talialies; a little tliSCOlOUting might be traced, which is taut un common iu this description of timber, but each extremity was per feekairnel and closed.

COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guild hall, for the dispatch of public business. The Gaol Committee presented a report relative to a Bill now before Parliament in respect 01 Gaols, and suggested the expediency of the Court endeavouring to obtain a claim to be inserted therein, authorizing the :11agistrates to commit prisoners from the Borough of Southwark to Newgate and the other City Gaols, in stead of the Borough Compter, which the Court agreed za, and referred it to the Committee, to take the requi ,iie measures for effecting the object. The LORD Mayon communicated to the Court that the ensuing Sessions at Guildhall would be held on Monday next-, and at the Old Bailey on the Thursday following, instead of the days originally appointed. The Couar was occupied a considerable time in hear ing a complaint against James Swaine, a coal under taker, and Counsel were heard both for and against him. After an investigation of the circumstances, he was dis charged from his situation. AEROSTATIC EXCURSION. Mr. Harris, the Gentleman who was the companion of \I r. Graham in his aerial voyage from Berwick-street, Soho, to the neighbourhood of Rochester, Kent, as. cended yesterday, in a balloon of his own propel ty, and Icenstructed under his own immediate direction, from the gardens of the Eagle Tavern, in the City-road. By Lail-past duce the gardens were nearly filled with well-dressed persons, amounting in number to at least 1,000. About an hour before the ascent took place, a strong degiee of interest was excited by an announce ment that a young lady would ascend with Mr. Harris. The young adventuress soon after made her appear ance. She appeared to be about 18 years of age, of rather delicate frame and complexion, and her appear ance altogether was extremely interesting. Her name is Stocks, but the rank or situation in lite of her family was studiously concealed. The intrepid girl mounted the stage with but a slight appearance of fear in her manner, and was instantly greeted with the warmest cheers from the spectators. Mr. Harris gave the wo;d, and the cords being slipped, the immense vehicle ascended swiftly for a short distance, but suddenly stopped, and it was then discovered by the spectators that one of the four cords by which it was fastened to the earth had not been loosened from t:le pole. A general feeling of alarm prevailed for a few mo ments, which was increased by the apparently perilous situation of the aeronauts at that moment, and there was a general cry of " Cut the rope—for Gon's sake cut the rope!" but this was prevented by those who had pre viously received their orders, until a signal was given by Mr. Harris, by the waving of his flag, and the rope was then severed in a moment, and the balloon, freed from all restraint, ascended most majestically, the peo ple below rending the air with their cheerings, and Mr. Harris and his fair and courageous companion waving each a flag from the car. The stoppage of the balloon, when at a certain height, was preconcei ted, and is an invention of Mr. thetas's, we believe entirely new, in order to afford an additional and prolonged gratification to those who might attend to witness his attempt. The balloon bole away in a south-westerly direction, and was in sight about eight minutes. RECORDER'S REPORT. Yesterday the RECORDER nude a Report to the KING in Council of the following prisoners, who were capi tally convicted at the Sessions, Old Bailey, and are under sentence of death in New gate: William Hill, aged 36, for uttering a forged Bank-note for 51.

When William Hill, John Easterby,and John Hill Wag slfdf, were ordered for execution on TueiJay next, the Ist of June; all the other prisoners were res2ited during his MAJESTY'S plea,ure. The Merchants of the City trading to the Bay of Campeachy, have been alarmed by the report that all the English settlers have left the place, on account of an invasion by Spanish Republicans. Extract of a letter from Campeachy, dated March The disturbed state of the country is such that all business is at a stand ; almost all the men of any property have left Campeachy, as they are threatened with invasion from the Governor of Merida, and another from the interior, both Republican parties. I have nut been able to lee my consignee for the last fortnight, ard do nut expect to get away before the 6th of next month, as wood conies off very slowly." SPANISH REFUGEES.—Yesterday Colonel Ilairnond Monfra and Captain Maton, lately belonging to the Constitutional Army of Spain, and just arrived in this ct,untry in a state of great distress, appeared at the Mansion House, and gave a heart-rending statement of the hardships and cruelties they had endoted since they had fallen into the hands of their oppressors. Mr. Nobler, in the absence of the Lo RD NI Avon, caused them to be conducted to the Spanish Committee, lioal whom they will doubtless experience attention and relief. A requisition is now in course of signature in Liver- Pool, requesting the MAYOR to convene a Meeting of the Merchants and I n h a bi tants , for the purpose o f taking into consideration the propriety of presenting a Memorial to his MAJESTY'S Government, calling upon them to recognise such of the new States of South Ame rica as have declared their Independence. I lie master of one of the post-houses in France, hav ing lately misconducted himself towards two English ladies travel. Itng iii that country, has been ordered to Paris by the Director. General of the Posts, to be there severely reprimanded; the French Government being particularly anxious that all foreigners travelling inFrance should everywhere meet with that hospitable reception to which they are entitled. THE FIGHTS, AT SHEPPERTON RANGE. The Fancy.were again sadly alarmed yesterday, when, on arrival at the old spot of Moulsey, they were informed that a Magistrite had determined to stop the fight, not only there in person, but had instructed a constable to attend for the same purpose at Shepperton —the nearest military position. Colnbrook was thought of in the dilemma, and a few set off for a ten-mile chace, to get good ptices; hut, on further consideration, some hints %%re thrown nu!, by which the constable might be rendered inoptr.niee, and on the en gagement of an old soldier to enlist Dogberry for the morning, the chief body proceeded with full pomp to the said Shepperton Range, about twenty miles from town, where the ring was prepared, and the men soon in readiness. The situation was particularly pic turesque, on a fine level, within five hundred yards of the banks of the Thames. Doubts, however, having been entertained in town that these might be some little difficulties to encounter, the muster was by no means numerous. There were, nevertheless, several Corinthians present, and the Commarst/er.itt•C'hici at his post—as his presence generally indicates " fair play"—as well as acme, more regularity :than is generally observed in his ahsenca. A few who went to Coluhrocke on the first alarm, had a long and tiresome re trograde to make before they could participate in the sports, and then they lost the first fight. At one o'clock, O'Neale and Gayner, threw up their hats, us the parties far the firs: battle. O'Neale better ltta.wn as the Streatham Youth, is a good bustling lighter, and Gaynor, the Bath unman, had great fame in the country, but untried in town. The odds were two and three to one on O'Neale ; and on stripping, his fine condition justified the backers. Gaynor looked queer and out of order, and was below the Youth in every point. Hudson and Holt were with O'Neale, and Ben Burn and Collis assists d Gaynor to the scratch. THE marl% _ _ Round I. Town and Country began cautious, and seemed both determined not to give away a chance. The Itnetic was afr.iid of the Citizen, and O'Neale evidently :aught by rule. Several minutes were spent in idle sparring. O'Neale sheaved his simple head, by losing his side, and getting the sun in his eyes. Gaynor let fly at the head and then at the body—both stopped clean. O'Neale hit short with the left, and made his right heavy on the ear of the 'ful mar,. A close and a struggle, and bald fibbing at Gaynor', head, who was thrown heavily, first taking a rattling punch on the kidnies. 2. Gaynor tried hard, but, from want of judgment, all his blows fell short. O'Neal ran at him, and missed a heavy right-banded round hit. Ile got the best of the fall—Two to one current. 3. O'Neal stopped uncommonly well, but seemed shy of return ing—never once tried a counter hit, or stood to fight. Gaynor hit short, and was sadly abroad. O'Neale placed a heavy chatteret on the head, but was obliged to take a mouthful in return. Both Po tions, no Mains about them. Gaynor was closed with, after a vain attempt at the wind, and got his head into the cage, where it paid dearly for lodging.—Gaynor down again. Twenty-five minutes were taken up with this mockery of a fight. O'Neale had the best of it in every point, and was blamed for not going in to his work, and also his want of clean strait hitting. 4. This was also a long stupid round. O'Neale kept his guard al ways ready, and Gaynor might as well have hit at St. Paul's. A great trial for ►trength and struggle for the fall. O'Neale, nearly down, recovered his feet, and jobbed the Tinman unmercifully en the mouth. Gaynor fought it out like a good one, and drew great applause by throwing his man cleverly. r. O'Neale, more alive, went to work with his heavy rounded bits, and then using his legs well, tripped the yokel from his centre. 6. Gaynor, unwilling to go in, was spoke-to by Ikat Bums— " Fight away, Gaynor; are you asleep?" Ile fought away ; but O'Neale get away, and all his blows were short. O'Neale let fly with the left, straight and well meant. Gaynor ducked and saved his head. The Tinnum went down like a sack. 7. A long struggle for the fall, which ended in Gaynor's favour. 8. This was the only real fighting round in the battle. Both men set to work and fought to the ropes, and strange enough, passed through them, and a determined rally took place out of the ring, while the whips of the keepers were at work to get space in the crowd. Several good counter-hits took place. O'Neale got a share, but dealt out severe punishment to the countryman, and brought him down like a gond marksman. 9. Gaynor, dropped his head, and went away to save his calfskin. 10. Gaynor made a clean hit on the head, but received left and right chattering facers in a rally. lie was hit away, and felt for the ground in a bustle. 11. Gaynor went down to avoid punishment. 12. O'Neale stopt Gayaor's left hand, and planted a body blow and a facer, to some purpose. The l'iuman was hit on the ropes, but recovering his legs, made a good struggle for the fall, and threw the Youth heavily.—(" Bravo, Gaynor-!" at all sides.) 5. O'Neale touched the Tinman's wind, and unsettled his chin with a teazer. Gaynor losing blood and much distressed. (A second fight, between Stockman and White-headed Bob, was kept up *out side the ropes during this round. It was soon quelled; and the order of the ring restored.) 14. O'Neale got the Tinman's head under his arm, and played the devil's tattoo till he tired. Gaynor going fast. The Demon of Fighting seemed let loose; Belasco and Western picked a quarrel, and fought during the last round until parted, for a more convenient place. From the ISth to the 18th round, O'Neale led and Gayner fought like a brave man, but all hopes oT winning had left him. In the next three rounds Gaynor received slaughtering knock down blows; and after the 21st round, though unwilling himself to give in, Ms backers, with becoming humanity, took him away—after an hour and five minutes fighting. Biala es.—Gaynor had no chance from starting, but O'Ntale has done himself no credit by the conquest. Ile ought to have won in fifteen minutes, and not wasted more than an hour to get the best of a countrynian less in weight, skill, and experience. Ile has put a hundred pounds in his pocket by the fight, and the man who wins may be allowed to win his own way. The proposed match between him and White-headed Bob (Baldwin) will be a good trial for both. SECOND FI G NETWEEN DICK CURTIS ANL, AYRES. This was one of the adjourned matches trom the late stop at Moulsey. Curtis is the Pride of the Light Weights and the Pet of the Finley. Ayres was ,trongly backed acainst hint, as a deter mined, resolute man, lint to be denied, and certain to shake him in throwing. The stake was one hundred sovereigns. Ayres came into the ring with Crawley and Shelton; and Curtis attended by Tom Owen and Josh Hudson. THE FIGHT. Ayres appeared at the scratch with confidence and spirit, but every eye was directed wiih admiration to thu active, firm, and cle sant attitude of Curtis. Ills person is in perfect proportion, slen der, but full of atrength and muscle. With him fighting appears divested of all its ferocity, and he stands on his ground a model of grace, cambia:jog the mo s t determined courage with the easiest and ' most composed mannar-•-9 to 1 uil Ciblii. On setting-to Curtis began on his usual system of prudence— breaking ground and backing nearly to the ropes, drawing his num after him, but alwacs ready to hit. Ayres foltim-ed him xviilt some caution, to Ming him to work. On making bini:elf up for a phAllge, Curtis I,t 11 ; w:;!, car kit on the mouth; :tyres shook his head, hut caught it again I.ke lightning. Curtis inancutred his man about the raft, tempting him within distance, and then meeting him Nv.th a succession of jobbing hits on the head,so that the blood followed las band in tot rents. Ayres ked his best to get in to fight, b.:: Curtis':; legs and foods timed hint so well, that lie could do no good, atid was hit away repeatedly. The round ended with a alautt struggle. and Ayres under hi a roll. 9..lbis was a long round, but all through Curtis had the bee.-- Ayres stopped kis left hand over and over, but it would nut be de nied. Curtis stood so safe to hit or get away, and sprung from the right foot with all the force of Ins body on the left hand as it went out, that his execution was tremendous. lie cut his man unda the eye, scored his nose raw, and made his face one mass of blond and bruises. The blood flowed in one broad stream, covering the neck, ca.,:, and body with gore. Ayres stood up with great manliness, but could not plant a hit of any value. After some attempts to counter with the lett, and a scientific bit off the stop with the a clus.: took place, and Ayres rolled under. J. Ayres c.ane up a piteous The blood could not be cleaned in the halt minute, and it still flowed front the open wounds. Curtis bore the bloody marks of roiling over Win at the end of the last round. Curtis the left-handed game again, but finding Ayres stop hint better, played at the body for a little to bring diiwn Ayres game'. Ayres mate his right hard tell heavy on Curtis's ribs, but, was pinked instanter oil the head for the favour. Ayres tied t.• change his mode of fighting, but Curtis, ell coolness, maintained his part and style of work. Ayres stood manly for several sainutes,, trying all ways for an operirg, but every step forward was met by a straight plunge front Curtis with the left. The blood followed to such quantities, that nature began to sink, and after a frequent re. petition of similar punishment, the poor brave fellow could no longer stand, and fell quite exhausted into the arms of his second, and was taken away in a very bad state indeed. li A Ili:S.-141f Cc such rounds in twenty-five minutes were never seen before. Curtis is beyond praise, and beyond comparison. Ile is the best fighter that ever stripped, and the whole ring may learn from him. It is quite uneqUalled in the initials of flg,lnflig to beat with one hand (the left may) a man of equal strength, and one mu deficient in science. His blow has the bilaCpilCSS of the 'chisel, driven with the force of a sledge-hammer. lle it never fur an in stant at fault or unprepared and after this fight he must rank far above all men of Ins weight, and indeed above aU fighting men in precision, erecut:on, and science. It would be wird% th • entk e o r au eminent sculptor to take this youth as a model for a statue ~f an English pugilist. There is a statue in the Louvre of a y flu ,. l victor itt the public games with the cestut, hut it is fir inferior slisplay of muscular power arid eKgres.ion to Curtis,in hii conquering attkusle. The Roman artist never had so gaol 4 THE. T.HRD FIGHT Was between Western and Helase°, for a parse nr att.! !ts get rid of ill blood at both sides. Westcrn made tol frt.: w.,k one Lusting/on, and lost his senses, and g ave in after three mitt,,,. . lielattess took the cash, and said " Thank ye." There were several ether volunteers, hut the liberality of the Ita : , tears had been exhausted, and the sports were thus hrotteht s:.t'sfr.cory eone:usion. Spring was upon the ground, and looked extremely well. PEDESTRIANISM. Rainer, the pedestrian, undertook to run from the M.:rket.7 Ilastings, to the Market-house, Rye, a distance of .„:, hours and thtee-quarters, and on Monday laA conum.re...! • &locos urdettaleng, in the presence of several !twain 4 sperio.o.
