DREADFUL FIRE. PROM THE SOUTHAMPTON 11ERALD. S a njay m.►rninF, about half-past four o'clock, the t.,,r•n was thrown into the greatest consternation by an ,: m ming fire, which broke out in the extensive coach mitfactory (built principally of wood) of Mr. Aslatt, h ear the Weigh-bridge. The building, from one end to t he other, appeared one mass of Rime, which was, for a l e ngth of time, confined to the interior ; but, by five iclo.k, the Bones, which had spread to an alarming 1- e * g lit, communicated to the do elling-house adjoining t he manufactory, and to the brewery, coach-house, and s :Able. of F. L. Beckford, Esq. which were soon cove 1, h est. At this time it was thought that the range or: Int Wings to e 'Weigh-bridge, and those fronting the' 10 ,d, "mild fall a prey to the devouring element ; but from the wind afterwards taking a contrary direction, the uttty of another extensive coach-manufactory (Mr. Callao av's), the back of which was adjacent to the pre r.,,es on fire, was considered uncertain. The progress f itlte fire in this direction, was, however, stopped by u u!ling down pan of the house occupied by Mrs. Saw tins. One of the town engines now arrived, and com a enced playing on the buildings: this was succeeded 1,• oat from the Military Asylum, kindly sent by Cdonel Evatt. The other town engine followed, and WAS conveyed through the gateway dtt Mr. Beckford's to t!,e coach-house, aid asisted materially in stopping the limes in the direction of Mr. Callaway's manufactory. At about half-past Eve the fire was at its height, and tie whole of the varnish and turpentine having ignited, the pale blue flame of the spit its presented an awfully tublime sight. Many of the carriages were dragged cut hom the burning building, which by six o'clock ru , ented nothing but a heap of ruins, the roof and flours 1: tying fallen in about a quarter of an hour previously. Re engines were now successfully directed to Mr. lieckford's stables, which were furiously raging, and the fire was prevented from spreading further. The tr.gines continued playing upon the smoking pi'e of itr!:- throughout the day. The alarm at one time was <<) Lea„ that many persons in Marland•place cominen. a d moving their furniture. The fire had been raging ver se au hour and a half before the town engines were brought properly to play, and then for some time they had bet a scanty supply of water, which was conveyed in buckets from pumps in the neighbourhood, an incun valence having been felt in opening the plugs. The en. gines'hose too, wese out of order, and burst repeatedly. The gentry, and inhabitants generally, exerted them ,elves vith much energy on this dreadful occasion, and amp igst the former was Hollingsworth of our theatre, whose exertions were beyond all praise ; and whilst *omen were seen handing buckets for the supply of the rn,;ines, a few sturdy •agabonds resisted all applica tions for assistance, and remained sullen spectators of the dreadful scene. No lives were lo,t. Three horse-stealers were appre.ended and lodged in Gosport Bridewell, on Thursday. .. The LORD MAYOR has teceii;ed several letters, com plaining of the offensive nature of the discussions carried on by the Christian Evidence Society. At a Meeting of the Master Manufacturers held last reek, at the Commercial Inn, Whitehaven, it was re solved unanimously, that no man belonging to any Laioa or combination of any description, whether starer or spinner, &c. shculd be employed by them, unless he renounced such Union, and signed a docu ment to that effect. lesterday, at Union Hall, a decent-looking and very 114a:ions ;hew-woman applied in vain for permission exhibit " real wcnders,' in a calculating pig, and an authentic dolphin of all colours, or right-earnest mer maid, with a head of hair as firm on the /,animal's head a) that on her own.. The Magistrate insinuated some thing about false locks, and the lady made her curtsy. DISNI AY AMONG SMALL DEBTORs.Tht cause of the inunerue number of arrests for debt on the eve of the prevent Term is not generally known, though rather a curious fact. Lord Ellenborough's old bill for prevent ing arre,ts on bills of exchange under 151. expired a natural death at the end of last year. Its expiration was, however, not generally known, and the small deb :firs had a respite. When the Parliament met in February, the Attorney-General lost no time in bring- Ing in a Biil to revive Lord Ellenborough's Act, and partied both Houses of Parliament unanimously ; but, by some unaccountable accident in the bustle of business, it was never presented for the Royal Assent, ,d the discovery was not made till after the proroga tion of Parliament. The thing soon got wind, and the :irrpies of the law laid their talons upon the small 101. utitors, until they filled the King's Bench prison with then this Term. Another reason for the increase of small debts is the repeal of the law stamps, which enables any surly creditor to take out a writ as low as 6d. in Middlesex, and for Is. 10d any where else. A fewllays ago, Mary Anne Hinsley, a respectable young woman, about '2O years of age, on her road home to the Levels at Thorne, with another female acquaint. ance, was, while walking along the Canal side, blown into the water and drowned. Monday afternoon, Mar y Waters, of South Luffenham, Rutlandshire, was stopped upon Barrowden Hay, near the Turnpike-road, by two men, who, after taking from her 13s. a neckerchief, and an apron, ill-treated her, and attempted to cut her throat.

This case has reference to the will of the late Dr. Sibthorpe, who had bequeathed a sum of money to the fellows and scholars, for certain purposes therein de. scribed. The que•tion was, whether or no these purposes comprised a charitable or pious use? If the latter, by the Statute of MortmAin, tl e bequest to the college was void. But as the legacy might still be capable of legal effect as a charitable trust, the college might claim to hold it as appointee. The COURT was of opinion, that in the latter case the Attorney- Gtneral must be called in to assert the right of the Crown as general guardian of charitable trusts. COURT OF EXCREQUER, Novamiza 21. THE KING V. PETO. Mr. CLARK stated that this was a scire facias, or bond for the performance of certain covenants on the building of the Custom House, which a short time ago had fallen down, in consequence of the way in which it ' ' was erected. The defendant had obtained an order for a further time of a fortnight to rejoin, and the Learned Counsel had now to move that that order should be set aside on the ground of irregularity. The defendant had in the first instance pleaded the per formance of his contract, to which the Crown had re plied on certain branches of it. The replication was given in on the 15th November, and a notice of four days to the defendant to rejoin ; so that if he did not on that day rejoin, the Crown would then he entitled to judgment. The defendant, on Saturday, obtained a rule, for further time to put in a rejoinder, but no notice to' that effect had been given to the Solicitor for the Cus tom House. The Learned Counsel therefore moved that it be set aside on the ground of irregularity. Mr. TINDAL argued against the motion, and con tended that sufficient notice had been given, a clerk of the S-licitor to the Custom House having been present on Saturday when the application for the order was made. 'I An argument then took place as to the sufficiency of the notice given. The Court held the notice to be in sufficient, and therefore directed the Rule to be dis charged; at the same time stating that the defendant's Counsel would succeed if he hereafter moved to have the trial postponed for want of time to arrange the de fence. S ,me arrangements had therefore better be made between the parties to that effect. Dlr. Csa*i stated his wish to accede to any terms recommended by the Court. It was therefore agreed that the case should come on for trial during the Sittings after Hilary Term. The bond on which this wire facia: is brought, is in the penal sum of 3.3,0001. which sum of course depends on the event of the trial. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Novnissa 21. THE KING V. COOKE. Mr. J. S. S. Cooke, who was convicted at the Glou cester Spring Assizes, 18'24, of a conspiracy to molest Sir George Jerningham, since become Lord Stafford, in the enjoyment of his estates, and to defraud his tenants, and on whom no judgment has been yet passed, now appeared in Court. Mr. CAMPBELL moved, on his behalf, for a rule to shew cause why judgment should not be arrested or suspended until atter the ttial of his brother, Richard ztafford Cooke ? The defendant was indicted, with three other persons, Richard Stafford Cooke, John Russell Miles, and Richard Jenkinson, for a conspiracy. Richard Stafford Cooke pleaded in abatement, 'that he was Lord Staffot d, Baron Stafford ; James Stamp Sutton Cooke and Jenkiason pleaded the general issue ; and Miles never pleaded at all. To the plea of Richard Stafford Cooke there was a demutrer, which had been argued and determined for the Crown ; but judgment of respondeas ouster being given, he afterwards pleaded " not guilty." While the demurrer was pending, the issue joined on the pleas of Sutton Cooke and Jenkinson came on to be tried at Gloucester, before Mr. Justice Paik, when the Jury acquitted Jenkinson, and found Cooke guilty of conspiring with his brother, Richard Stafford Cooke. Now, to constitute the offence of con- spiracy, it was necessary that two should be im plicated; and though, if the verdict of the Jury had been general, it might have been sustained in reference to Miles, or to " the persons unknown," with whom all the parties were alleged to have conspired, it could not be sustained when it formed a conspiring with a par ticular individual, who not only was still unconvicted, but still might be tried, and between wh•m and the Crown issue was joined. It was true, that where a party was dead, or outlawed, a verdict of this kind had been held good; but the case was otherwise when it was possible to bring him to trial, and when his inno cence might yet be made to appear. Supposing. here after, Richard Stafford Cooke should be tried and acquitted, the foundation of the verdict obtained against his brother would fail, and yet I , e might have suffered all the consequences attendant upon conviction. The COMIT, after ascertaining that the endorsement on the record was to the effect stated, granted a rule to shew caur. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Novausra 21. TROTH V. BAGWELL. The proceedings in this case were calculated to ex cite considerable interest, no such trial having come before the Courts, we understand, for more than hallo century. It was a trial by the Grand Assize, instituted by a writ of Magna Assisa Ekgeatia, which commands the Sheriff to summon four lawful Knights before the Justices of Assize • there, upon their oaths, to choose twelve Knights and others, of the vicinage, &c. to pass upon the Grand Assize between the parties. From their judgment there is no appeal. The Knights appeared in Easter Term, and were sworn. The Officer of the Court proceeded to WI over the panel. Sir R. Birnie, Knt. and Sir Peter Laurie, Knt. appeared. Sir lieorge Alderson was next called, whose clerk appeared for him. and on being sworn stated, that Sir George was this morning so ill, that be could positively swear he was unable to attend. Sir James Williams was nest called, but did not appear. The Officer of the Sheriff proved the serving of a notice for him to attend, at house in Ketiti-h Town, when he was informed that Sir James was in Derby -shire, and was not expected to return far three months. The CHIEF JUSTICE intimated, that as only two of the four Knights who h.;il been sworn appeared, he thought the cause could not proceed. The Jury must consist of twelve, with the four Knights. Mr. Serjeant BOSANQUET argued that it was not ne cessary that the whole of the four Knights should be present after the panel was completed. That if there were a sufficient number of Esquires present to make the 16, that was enough. The Curse Jussies.—You may, if you please, go on ; the Court leaves it to you ; but let it be distinctly understood that if you do, it will be in error. Mr. Serjeant liosartousrr—After what the Court has said, and having consulted with my brother 'faddy, who is with me for the defendant, it would be presumption in us to proceed. Loon Crime JUSTICZ ordered the panel to be called over, and it appeared that there were only nine E:quirvs answered. He then said that it WAS neces sary that the Jurors should understand that there could not, by this mode of [fist, which was the most solemn in the country, be any talesmen added, and the Court wruld feel compelled to fine those sevemly who were summoned and did not attend. The trial was then adjourned to Trinity Term, according to the old form. MUNN V. GODBOLD. This was an action tried some short time back at Guildhall. The plaintiff and defendant had entered into a speculation for the disposal, in France, of some quack medicines belonging to the defendant. Plaintiff advanced a sum of money, (3601. we believe) on account of the medicines ; but, somehow, the speculation failed, and the medicines not being diSposed of plaintiffclaimed his money. This the defendant refused to refund, and the action was in consequence brought. At the trial, it appeared that a contract, in writing, had been entered into between the parties. Of this each party kept a counterpart, or duplicate, signed by the other. The one which plaintiff had, he got stamped, but he committed it to the care of a friend, by whom it was lost. The part in the hands of the defendant was unstamped. The plaintiff, not being in a condition to produce the dupli cate which had bren given to him, called the auotney by whom the c.ntracts were drawn, who proved the orginal di aught of which each was an exact copy. The delend nt's Counsel objected to this, and contended, that the part in his hands was the only evidence of a contract which could be referred to, and that that being unstampei, it was insufficient to maintain the action, and therefore' that plaintiff should be nowsuited. This objecti.m was overruled by Lord Chief Justice Best, and a verdict was taken for the plaintiff for the money advanced. In the present Term a rule nisi was obtained, to set the verdict aside, and enter a !sunsuit. _ _ _ Mr. Serjeatitme this day 'hewed cause against the rule, and contended that a nonsuir ought to have been entered. r. Serjeant BOSAKNET contended at some length in support of the verdict, and the Onirt were of opinion, that the objection taken at the trial had been properly overruled, and that the verdict for the plaintiff ought to stand.—Rule discharged, COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nirremsta 21. Sr . C. ROBINSON stated that this was an application , to the Court for the distribtition of bounty, in conse quence of the capture of a pirate vessel, according to the terms of the Act of Parliament for encouraging the sup preision of piracy. His Majesty's cutter, the Grecian, being commanded to crtfze about the coast of Cuba, for the purpose of watching and defeating the attempts of the pirates on that coast, was informed by an Eng lish merchant vessel, that a French ship had been at tacked and plundered by pirates somewhere in the neighbourhood of the coast. Having searched for the vessel they at last came up with her, when she proved to be a felucca. Ah engagement took place, a great num ber were killed ; some got into boats, where they were taken, and some also escaped. T went y.t wo out of the persons on board were tried and condemned before one of the Spanish tribunals. There could be no doubt but that they were pirates. They avowed themselves to be such. The Act of Parliament, indeed, was rather de fective in not giving a specific definition of what was to be considered as a piratical vessel, which induced the Learned Counsel to think that it was not brought in by a member of the profession. The application then was that the Court would decree 201. for sixty-one persons who were taken or killed; and SI. for filty-nine persons who remained on board or escaped.—llecree granted. TWENTY-TWO PERSONS DROWNED.—We regret to state, that during the dreadful gale of Thursday, the 10th inst. Le Curieur, Captain Videll, was entirely lost, off Renneville, and every person perished. She had 22 individuals on board, 15 of whom were passen gers, and amongst these was an English family of the name of Pousset, residents of Jersey, who had been a few months in France. The family consisted of Mr. Pousset, his wife, three daughters, and a female servant. The wife of Mr. Auley, one of the jurats of Jersey, was also on board. Le Cutieux, in company with several other vessels, was proceeding front Granville to Jersey, and was the only vessel which attempted to proceed while the hurricane was so furiously raging. The others put back, and reached Granville in safety.— They made on the following day for Jersey, where they arrived on Sunday, and communicated the above dreadful intelligenoe. Captain Bazin, to ohm we are indebted for these particulars, informs us that the Ariadne arrived at Jersey at four o'clock in the after noon of Thursday, and just escaped the destructive gate which soon after followed. On the same evening the Greek man of war brig Cy more, was lost off the island of Alderney. The crew, 57 in number, were saved.— Southampton Herald. Friday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, a young man, apparently not more than 18 or 19 years of age, and rather respectably dressed, entered the pas sage of the Falcon Intl, in Micklegate, York, and seized a leg of mutton which was hanging therein, with which he made off. He was soon overtaken and secured.— Upon being questioned as to his motive for such a pro cedure, we understand, he assigned as the reason his wish to be transported! SINGULAR CONVICTION.—A conviction of rather a novel character has taken place before a Bench of Ma gistrates at Gosport. Major-General Sir James LYON, K.C.B, the Lieutenant-Governor of Portsmluth, and Commander-in-Chief of the South-West District, was fined by the Bench of Magistrates named, under the authority of the 90th clause in the Mutiny Act, which levies a penalty 0f 4 205. on" the Commander" of soldiers, any of whom shall be found guilty of an act of poach ing; to which is added, the liability of immediate dis missal from the army of the said " Commander of the troops," should he refuse to pay the Ones levied in 48 hours af:er conviction. Sir JAMES LYON instantly paid two fines of 20s. two soldiers of the Gosport garrison having been detected in this unlawful practice. Thursday morning, some suspicion having been ex cited by the smell proceeding from four tierces which had arrived in Glasgow the preceding day from Liver pool, on thu.ir way to Edinburgh, they were opened, and found to contain a dozen bodies of men, women, and children ; it is supposed that they originally came from Ireland. The Magistrates oidered that the whole should be immedi itely buried in the High Church yard. It WAS a most horrid spectacle. The tierces were ad dressed to respectable persons in Edinburgh, who could not possibly have anything to db with the business. A t ►al of interest hAs taken place in Philadelphia. Don Juan Goalbato de Artego, who had been invested with cei tail' diplom 'tic powers by one of the South American Republics, but had not been recognised by the United States Government, was proceeded against criminally for an assault and battery upon Don Htlario de Rivas y Salmon, Charge des Affaires from his Ca tholic Majesty. Tie defendant had the aid of the most ' , opulent Counsel in Philadelphia, but was found guilty by the Jury. 11. ws. - 4 - z . • ~ U • It SLIGO, NOVEIIIIIIII 18. . The lion.

GREAT TROTTING AND GALLOPING MATCHRS. The race for one thousand sovereigns, in stake and bete, took place on Saturday, over the four mile sweep from Frondlesham to Bagshot-lane end, between the Bertram mare Phcebe and Diadem, considered by their owners, Mr. Vyse and Captain Millais. the best hunters in the kingdom. The start was half an hour's gallop, rode by the owners, and to clear a six feet leap at the end of the third mile. Diadem led and cut out the work at full epees!, the mare keeping close at her haunches. Both cleared the leap without difficulty, and a severe race followed. After 25 minutes the mare got a-head in a neck and neck trial, and she won the match by se. veral lengths, performing 11 miles and a few yards in half an hour. The match made by Mr. Nelson, for 300 sovereigns, for his Lancashire roan horse Humphry to trot in harness thirty six milt it in three hours, took place on Saturday, over six miles on Leddon Down, close upon Northampton Moor, in the presence of a nu merous field of trotting fanciers.

The witnesses proved that Julia Berry, the supposed mother, had become consi derably alterel in her person, and although it was not suspected that she was pregnant, her corpulency excited some little astonishment. On Friday night sLe seemed exceedingly desirous that all the porters and men who were employed by her master{ Mr. Westley, of Lamb's Conduit• street) should leave the house ; on their return, in the morning, they found some strange marks on the floor, and searching the privy. the body WAS found among the soil. It was also proved that a moaning had been heard in Julia Berry's room at night.
