The success which has attended the praiseworthy ex ertioni of the Gentlemen who have patronised the esta blishment for introducing Gordon's Portable Gas Lamp in the metropolis, has been very great; at which, as lovers of scientific inventions, we rejoiee.—The beauty and brilliancy of the light making it extremely suitable for illuminating the dining table and drawing room, but also, from their being no oil, grease, or sparks, for moving through the house in common domestic pur poses; its great facility of being managed and regu rated, so that a consumer may at pleasure increase the flame, froai less than the glimmer of a rush-right up to the blaze of many wax-lights, thereby conti outing not only the light hut the expense, have all contributed to oncreme the demand for it, beyond what can be yet supplied, so that in a short time, we have no doubt, it will be in very general use. A few years ago, the French lamp and sinumbra, were- unknown in London. A considerable dine was necessary to overcome preju dices, and teach servants to trim them ; now, however, we see them everywhere. Much more will this be the ease with the Portable Oil Gas Lamp, which is, beyond all comparison, more simple and more easily managed. A fUll conviction of the usefulness of this beautiful application of Gas, and that it was only necessary to' make it known in order that it should be adopted, in duced Mr. Gordon, with the aid of a few repectable Gentlemen, to propose the forming a Joint Stock Com pany, for the purpose of introducing it into every town in the United Kingdom, which might be desirous of having it, but which might be deterred either from want of funds, or the other requisites for accomplishing it. Accordingly a Prospectus was issued, proposing a Capital of One Million, one half of which to be sub scribed for at present, and the other half to be pro gressively added, as establishments were formed in the provincial towns, by allowing the inhabitants to sub scribe for one half ofwhat might be necessary for forming such establishments. The proposal was well received, and in a few days the subscription was full. On Wed nesday last a meeting of the subscribers was held at the George and Vulture Tavern, which was numerously attended. A variety of resolutions, which • were con sidered proper for carrying the objects of the meeting into effect, were read by Mr. Gordon, and after some slight alterations, weie unanimously agreed to, and Directors for managing the concerns of the Com pany appoin; ed. The subscribers were much gratified by an exhibi• tion of a variety of Lamps, from the glimmer of the midnight taper up to what would brilliantly light a church. and also its admirable adaptation to Sir Hum phry Davy's safety-lamp. We heartily wish success to this new undertaking. We foresee very general advantages likely to arise from it, not so much in its application to illuminating our apartments, for which it is confessedly well suited, but we suspect it will be found of infinite value in all our manufactories of very fine goods, where a pure, strong, and steady light is wanted, flee from smoke and dirt. In shops, too, its value will soon be found out, for with all the advantages of other gas-lights, it possesses mire of the disadvantages, and has, besides, much to recommend it peculiar to itself, not the least of which is its safety. -- ENGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS SHIP CANAL AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE held on the 16th day of D:cember, 1524.

The Pilot hariing mistaken his situation, by supposing hi waste the eastward of St. Catherine's Head, steered a course accordingly for Portsmouth, and it being very hazy and dark, he ran on shore on the rocka - in Brook Bay, at the back of the Wight, at abets* half-past seven r.x. on the beginning of the flood tide. The boat drifted nearly a mile and a half in shore after she struck, and after remaining by her neatly two hours, a Lady, passenger (Mrs. Lock) with her child, and a Gentleman, who were in bad health, were sent on shore in the sman boat, with the chance of landing ; they succeeded in 'doing so near a farm house, belonging to a Mr. Howz, in Brook Bay, and on the return of the boat, the remainder of the passengers were landed there also. Mr. Mows rendered every kind assistance in his power, and ad ministered the comforts necessary in their destitute situation, all the party having lost nearly everything belonging to them. Pre vious to the Favourite being quitted, her bottom was in pieces, and the East India CoMpany's dispatches, with the boxes of letters, &c. get afloat ; but, fortunately, the Company's dispatches, with all the letters, excepting one bin from Bombay and the Cape of Good Hope, drifted ashore, and were picked up in the. course of the night, and taken in charge by Mr. CHAIM! REVNELL, the Purser. We have pleasure in thus being able to tatisfy the friends of the different passengers, of their having all landed in safety. Poarmsourn, Dec. 21.—1 t has blown a heavy gale all day from S. W. to W. and continues unabated.—The pilot-boat No. 20, re ported yesterday to be lost, is confirmed to-day ; the passengers, eleven in number, taken out of the Cambridge, frbm Bombay, were all saved by a small boat belonging to the pilot-vessel. The Purser, Captains McKenna" Pussies, and ANTHONY, clung to the mast of the pilot-boat for one hour, till a boat came to their assistance. A guard was sent to look out for the Dispatches, some of which have been saved, but the directions are obliterated: The ttittwari bound remain all well. Passengers left un board the Cambridge, arrived at heat on Monday :—Mrs. Ashburner and Mrs. M' Leal, two Misses Mott and Miss Paddock; Mrs. Hall, landed at the Cape; Mr, Ashburner, ditto; Mr. Warlow ; Lieutenant Taylor, front the Cape ; Lieutenant J.

EXETER, DEC. 20.—The festival which took place last week in this town, was crowned with the greatest success : Madame CATALANI was in fine voice during the whole five per- formances; and to her great attraction is owing the unprecedented success of a festival given in the winter, and in a concert-room, which, although extremely large, and the season so very unfavour able, was crowded at each performance; and never before was such a concourse of equipages witnessed in Exeter. Yesterday, Mrs. YOUNG, the mother of Mrs. FAWNT LLROY, died at her house in Arundel -street, aged 71.

Mr. SCARLET! said, this was an indictment against the defendant, Mr. Joseph Wilfred Pat kins, for per jury. if there was one crime in civil society which requited to be put down more than another, it was perji;ry The object of civil government was to pro tect men in the peaceful enjoyment of their rights. The crime of perjury aimed at the foundation of civil and criminal laws. This was one of the most serious' offences that ever came berme a Court of Justice. Some time, ago a man named Byrne was invited to England, and a subscription was raised for him. The defendant was charged with not accounting for the subset iption received on Byrne's account. Pat kins was obliged to meet the charge, and in the view of excul pation, took several papers to Mr. Thwaites, pro prietor of the Morning Herald, for publication.— Mr. Thwaites was of opinion they ought not to be, published. Mr. Parkins then called upon Mr. Thwaites,' accompanied by a Mr. Swift, who had been an attorney's clerk. Mr. Thwaites was then in a weak state of health, and by no means a match for Parkins. Mr. Thwaites informed him the papers were not then in his pnssession: he had left them at home. Mr. Par kins sat down, and refused to quit the Office until be received them. Mr. Swift also came in, and conducted himself in the same way. Mr. Thwaites, thus menaced by these two ruffians, rung the bell, and called several men from the composing room. In their presence,Pat kins and Stir ift n ere requested to quit the chamber. They refused, and were turned out. In the endeavour of Parkin to return, he was seized by a man, whoM Parkins, a strong man, threw down smite. The scuffles extended to the street, and Mr. Parkins was taken to the watch-house. PArkins, who was particular Alma his money, did not bring an ac tion, but Swift was made plaintiff in an action against Mr. Thwaites, and two others, for an assault. The defendants put a justification on the record, namely that the plaintiffs refused to leave the office, and were therefore turned out. Mr. Parkins was examined at the trial. His examination turned on the question whether Mr. Thwaites did not desire or request Swift and Parkins to leave the room ? He said certainly not. He was then asked, whether he was not told if he did not leave the room he should be turned out ? He said certainly not; that" he never knocked a man down stairs, and that he did not endeavour to return to the room. " This fellow," said Mr. Scat lett, had the audacity, on his oath, to deny all this ; the result was, that several witnesses were called for the defendant, which induced the Jury to find for the defendant.— What did this man do ? Witnesses were called whose testimony bore on several parts of the case, and he and. Swift went to the Sessions, and indicted every one of the adverse witnesses trJr perjury. That indictment had been removed to this Court, and was then pending. It had been said the defendant was not right in his mind: he wished Mr. Parkins would go to issue on that point, because the cunning and adroitness of Mr. Parkins would never be found in a man that was mad. The man Swiß was nothing more than an agent of Parkins. He would never answer the ques tion who was his employer, before Parkins. This was the nature of the case. If this defendant had a mali cious motive in bringing the action in the name of another man, there certainly could not be a case in which a prosecution for perjury, would be more sa lutary. The prosecution was instituted on public grounds only. Mr. SCARLETT now called the following witnesses: Mr. Thomas Nilson, clerk in the office of Mr. Har mer, produced the record of the trial of Svr ift v.Thwaites. —The record being read, stated that the plaintiff was Charles Swift, and the defendant Mr. Thwaites. John Cooke, short-hand writer, took a note in short hand of the proceedings in the case of Swift v. Thwaites. Tile witness read his notes, and particularly Parkin's evidence, which was to the effect stated by the Learned Counsel. Mr. Henry Thwaites examined—He was one of the proprietors of the Morning Herald, in April last. He remembered Mr. Parkins coming to the office. In the first instance, he came himself. He came about twelve at night. The witness was then engaged in the business of the office. Parkins sat down in a chair and asked for some papers. Swift came in three or tour minutes after. The witness did not know Swift. He frequently de sired them to quit the room. He rang the bell. He had previously requested them to leave the room. Ile rang in consequence of the insolent manner of Mr. Parkins and Swift. The bell was rung before any hand was raised against them. They were repeatedly re quested by several persons to quit the office. The wit ness gave directions to have them turned out of the room. Nothing was said by himself, but others said, if you do not go quietly, you must take the conse quence. He did not recollect anything Swift said, be fore he was turned out. The witness told Parkins he had not the papers there.' He was not aware of Par kins's intention to come that evening. The witness was defendant in the action brought by Swift. Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS said, Mr. Parkins had desired him to ask the Court whether Mr. Parkins could put questions as well as his Counsel ? The LORD CHILI JUSTICE said, he had never ,known an instance of a person who had employed Counsel being at liberty it put questions, gilt he irtrobi allow it in this instance. Air. PARKINS then took his seat by his Comet, and cross•esamined Mr. Thwaites. The witness had beori proprietor of Me Herald since 1818. Before that he transacted business for his father, at Manchester. H e was then asked, who assisted him in getting up the Morning Herald IP—The witness said, a Gentlema n named Ratcliffe was editor. He knew Mr. Wallace, who at one time was eJitor of the paper. The Lotto CRISP JIJSTICI said, the questions Were a waste of the public time. The witness resumed. He generally attended the Morning Herald to do business about ten at night. It was about ten or eleven when he went to the office on the night Parkins called. Parkins had sent articles to him.. He told Mr. Parkins if he sent him only cop'cs of articles he sent to all the papers they mere of ,•() value to him. He never wade a proposition to wit , ress, to write down Cobbelt. When he came into the rot th, Mr. Pal kips asked him for the papers, and there was a warmth in his manner that witness bad never seen before. —There were three chairs in the room. Parkins came into the room, asked for papers, and on his saying he had them not there, Parkins said impudently that witness had them therein the drawers. Swift did net come in with Parkins, His belief was, that it was the intention of Parkins and Swift to insult him, as Barry O'Meara did the brother Of the Editor of the Tones He was struck by the audacious behaviour of Parkins, and his insolent va gabond attitude. Mr. Robeson or Mr. Dwyer came into the room when he rang the bell. P.trkins had refused to go, and was turned out. Mr. Parkins never corrected the writings of the witness. --Ile did not see any one strike Parkins. They laid hold of him. Witness told the Magistrate, at the Police Office,:that Parkins had brought some prize-fighter, seme blackguard. Mr. PARKINS—A prize-fighter is not a blackguard ; did you not swear I brought a prize-fighter. ? Answer. I do not recollect swear ing anything of the kind. Re-examined by Mr. &Austere—lie said Swift was above his own size. Mr. Ricummen, Clerk to the Magistrates at Bow street, pro duced a book, by which[ it appeared that Parkins was brought frogs the Watch-house on the 18th of April. That was the ordinary mode of entering charges front the watch house. Mr. Robert Bell examined.—He was a Reporter to the Herald in April, 182.3. Ile was writing in the front room, looking into Catherine-street. ?Ir. Thwaites generally sat in the Editor's room. On the night he was there, he heard Mr. Thwaites, in a loud tone of voice, desire some one to gait his room ; the desire was uttered more than once; he heard no answer given. Before the bell ring, be went in to see what was the matter; he saw Mr. Parkins, anti another whom he did not know; lie did not see the mart's face. Ile just opened the door, and, when he saw_ it was Parkins, retired. When the bell rang, persons came down, and the witness sa remove Parkins, who made great resistance against those who el,- deavoured to remove him ; agreat straggle took place on the stairs. Cross-examined by Mr. PARICINS.—The witness is Editor and part proprietor of the Dispeta (a Paper produced by Mr. Parkins). 'The witness was asked whether an article in that Paper, which was in the Dispatch, had been inserted by him ? The witness said it was pirt in by his order. Mr. Harmer was a proprietor of the Dispatch. The witness ma not then employed upon theHerrekl. In 1816, he was appointed Reporter of the Herald, and continued on it antis the end of thelast Session of Parliament. On the night Parkies was turned out, several Gentlemen were writing in the front room. Par kins made a violent resistance, and was taken down st.:irs by seven or eight:persons. The witness had no hostility against the de fendant. lie had never placarded him about the streets of London. He was not the friend of Parkins. The trial was still proceeding *hen oar Paper went to press. The Court is excessively crowded. If the trial is concluded in time, we shall stop the press to give the verdict.
