This attempt failed. The hussars joined the main body of the ad vanced posts, and were soon reinforced by the Achtyrsk regiment of hussars and two pieces of cannon, on which the enemy was attacked and put to flight. We had four officers wounded, and 70 men killed or wounded. called on anew to make ont his case, he should protest, limine, against such a course. The LORD MAYOR said, it was trul, from the former testimony on oath, he had satisfied himself (the Lord Mayor) and Mr. Alderman Thorp, but the license had not been signed ; and on further consideration among the Magistrates, since that occasion, it did appear some further testimony should be adduced of these premises. being really an hotel within the meaning of the Act. Alderman CHRISTOPHRR SMITH wag of opinion that any two Magistrates might sign the license; and that if so signed, it would be within the meaning of the Act. Mr. Tilson stated, that due notice had been given to Alderman Thompson, the Lord Mayor, and Alderman Thorp, and if the other Magistrates had been near, they would have been applied to. Alderman THOMPSON explained the circumstance s under which he had abstained from attending the Meet -ling. The Court of Aldermen had since determined to' reconsider the matter generally. Mr. Tilson protested against being called on to pro duce further testimony. The LORD MAYOR again called on the applicant to produce his further evidence. The Court of Aldermen, on heating the previous testimony read, had been of opinion that in some degree imposition had been prac tised on them, and it was on that account they decided for a revision.

By Order of the Board, JOHN HALL, Secretary. It!. Katharine Dock Office, Bth of August, 1828. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. r... ILa apt.). BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Auuust 7. ACM r The trial of William Corder, to which public uteri. tion has been so forcibly attracted, for the wilful murder of Maria Marten, at the Red Mint, at Po'stead, in Suf folk, on the 18th day of May, 1827. carne on at a quarter to ten o'clock this morning, before the 1...)rd Chief Baron ALEXANDER, and a Common Jury the inhabitants of the liberty of Bury St. Edmund's. From three o'clock in the morning, the road leading from the Shire-hall to the Gaol was litmally thronged by persons anxious to get a glimpse of the accused ; the Shire-hall was quite besieged, and it was with the greatest difficulty, that, after the delay of nearly a quartet of an hour, and the buffetings, orations, and execrations of the javelin-men, that way was made for the Chief Baran to approach the bench. A m-ng the crowd were a number of females, who, regardless of their bonnets, and in despite of every remonstrance, maintained their positions, and were the foremost in the throng. Though every exertion was made by Mr. Or ridge and his assistants, t ► facilitate the ingress of the Reporters, yet for a time they proved fruitless, and it was only by being actually hauled over the barriers that they reached the place allotted to them in time to take the commencement of the proceedings. When quietness was somewhat restored, the Clerk of the Arraigns or dired William Corder to be placed at t'le bar; this was immediately done, and he stepped with a fi►m step from the cell, in which, prior to tie arrival of the Judge, he had been secured, and stood erect in front of the bench, He appeared in perfect health, and was dressed in a claret-coloured frock, blue pantaloons, black waistcoat, white cravat, well-polished pumps, and white stockings. His manner was easy yet assured, and on being placed in the dock, he bowed respectfully to the Court. The indictment was Isere read at length; an abstract of which appeared in THE STAR of yester day, At its conclusion, the Clerk r.f the Arraigns (Mr. ErgaLL), addressing the prisoner, said, " William Cor der, how say you, are you guilty or not guilty on this indictment?" Corder, in a firm and distinct tone, " Not Guilty, my Lord." The finding of the Coroner's Inquest was then read, and on being again asked whether he was guilty or not guilty ? lie replied in the same firm tone, " N,t Guilty, my Lord." tsl!' ,~ ~. . _ The loss of the enemy, through the vigorous attack of our cavalry, and the good use made of our artillery, was much more considerable.' According to the state ment of the prisoners, the enemy's division in this en gagement was 8,000 strong. All the advanced pots of Lieutenant General Rudiger, both cavalry and in ,fantry have received orders to stop at Couzlidjeh, and not to send any troops forward farther than to the vil lage of Jassitepe. To-day the 9th division of infantry left this place, for Couzlidjeh, whither the. Emperor, ' with the head quarters, will go to-morrow, and be 14- lowed by the 7th corps. According to the accounts from General Roth, the 6th corps has passed the Da nube at Hirchova, and is advancing towards Slistria, by way of RUSO•a, which its advanced posts had reached on the 11th of July. The division of our troops, under Lieutenant General Kornilow, which besieges Ghiurgevo, had repulsed, on the 3d of July, a vigorous sally of the enemy, in a perfectly satisfactory manner. The enemy had, on the 2d of July, sent over a con siderable body of cavalry from Roustchuk. On the following day, with 2,000 cavalry, 4,001 infantry, and seven pieces of ordnance, he attacked our outposts at all points, endeavouring to outflank them. By the brave resistance of the battalion of the regiments Eka therinen berg and Tobolsk, and especially by the judicious ope rations of the horse artillery, the enemy was compelled to retreat, and pursued by the Cossacks and a division of dragoons. The enemy left eighty men on the field, besides the wou.ided that he carried off. We had ten wounded, and twenty horses killed or wounded. ST. PETERSSURGH, JULY 21. His Majesty the Emperor was pleased to address a gracious rescript to Field Marshal Count Wittgenstein, expressing his satisfaction at the rapid success of the campaign, and sending him the insignia of Sc. Andrew in diamonds. IRISH BEEF AND PORK. VICTIM LLING.OFFICE.

Agent for the Victualling at Cork, ar to the Collectors of his Majesty's Customs at Limerick, Belfast, Newry, and Waterford, and to the Secretary to the Postmaster- Central at Dublin respectively. Mr. Tilson said, as they insisted on his producing further evidence, he should proceed. His client Mr. Hillary, had, previous to 1828, opened a coffee-house in the Poultry—he would not contend that his client's hotel was one of a large description, such as Mivart's or White's, but it was not the less an hotel because of its being a small one. It might, on the same grounds, be said that those who carried on the tea, or any other business, in a small way, were not tea-dealers, &c. He then proceeded to produce affidavits from several Gen tlemen in Somersetshire, Staffordshire. &c. in which the deponents stated that, in October, 1827. and thence afterwards to tie time of the passing of this Act, they had used Mr. Hillary's house as an hotel —eating, drinking, and sleeping there, as in any other hotel ; and that they considered it as such in all respccti. He then called several witnesses, lOW of whom only attended. Mr. Samuel Burse. of Kennington, appeared and stated, that he knew the house kept by Mr. Hillary upwards of a twelvemonth ; he used it as a tavern and hotel, just as he would any other hotel. Mr. Tilson said he did not contend to show that his client's was a large hotel, but only the commencement of one; the London Coffee-house had commenced in a similar manner. No Tender for a less quantity than shall be equal to Three Hun dred Tierces of Beef, or to Three Hundred Tierces of Pork will be admitted ; and each Telider must specify the price in words at length, and be delivered before One o'Clock on the Day ap.

THR BILIOUS PILLS, PREPARED by F. NEW BERY and 'SONS, are the discovery of a Physician of the first eminence at the pre sent time. In an extensive practice for some years he has em ployed them in the must obstinate Bilious Cases with unvarying success. They operate principally as a deobstruent and purgative; they promote a proper action of the Liver in the secretion of Bile, or correct it when in a vitiated state. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually removed; and by giving tone to the bikary duets and strength to the system, they afford relief to those who suffer from nervoug attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, in& ge.tion. and gouty affection.

The advanced posts of Lieutenant-General Ruttiger o t Bziircijik on the 3d July, and proceeded on the' !cad to Couzlidjeh, as far as the little river Uszenlia. 9r, that day they perceived a corps of the enemy's cavalry. 6,UDO strong, which on the Ist was before liazaidjik, and on the approach of the Cossacks had vet sated to Couzlidjeh. On the 11 tbJuly our advances proceeded to Couzlidjeh, and occupied that town. The ei 'erny.rcried, partly towards Schurnla, and part by Pravadi. Our advanced posts. consisting of two squa• thous of hussars of the Regiment Alexander, and a of the Regixnent Prince of Orange (the latter was just going to relieve the two squadrons), met, on the 12th July. with the . enemy ' s cutpusts, drove them back, and pursued them to the village of lissitepe, tea Mr.WILIIRAHAM, on behalf of the proprietors of the Bristol Packet, moved for an injunction to retrain the plaintiff. from proceeding in an action at law. Some time since, as the Moderator was on her passage in the Avon, she was run against by the Bri.tel Packet, owing to the alleged misconduct of the Cadtain of that ves ,el, whereby she sustained consideruoie damage, for which an action was brought to recover compensation. He made this application (which he believed was rather a novel one) under the provisions of an Act c.f Parlia ment, passed in the 53d year of the late King, which enacts, that in all cases where an action is brought to recover the amount of damage sustained by one vessel being run against by another whilst at sea, by the de fendants paying into the Court of Chancery the value of the vessel damaged, with tie amount to which she would be entitled for freight, the Court wa. empowered to grant an injunction to restrain all proceedings at law, and to direct other means of ascertaining the amount of loss sustained. In this case the value of the vessel was estimated at 3201. and the freight 251. which the Idefendants were ready to pay into Dour t; and the only question effiether or not they were er titled to an injunc tion was, that this accident did not happen on the sea, but on the river Avon. Mr. TIERNEY, who appeared hr the plaintiffs, would not object to the motion, if they would take it without prejudice to any question that might hereafter arise; but he did not think the Act apflied to navigable rivers. It being agreed to take the injunction without pre judice. IbeVICS-CHANCELLOR ordered it to issue accordingly. LONDON SESSIONS, AVG. 7. ' LICENSING HOTELS IN THE CITY. A Special Sessions of the City of London was sum moned this day, to take into consideration the applica tions for licensing different hotels in the City, under the new Act of Parliament. The first applicant was Mr. Hillary, of the Poultry, whose case bad been on a former occasion partly gone into, and was adjourned till this day. When the case was called on, Mr. 7 - Ilion, his Solicitor, said he was quite taken by b u r pi i se, as he conceived he had, on the former occa sion, satisfied the two Magistrates ; and if he was now Mr. Lawson gave similar testimony. Several letters to Mr. Hillary, from his customers in different parts of the country, certifying, on the part of the writers, that they had used his premises iv the Poultry, in November and December last, and declaring that they would use the house again, were read. The recommendation from the Rector, Churchwar dens, Overseers, &c. of St. Mildred, in the Poultry, were here read, certifying the good character Of Mr. Hillary and of his house. The list c f names appended contained those of the most respectable persons in the parish. There was a farther recommendation to the Court of Aldermen, of the strongest nature, signed •by upwards of 150 of the first-rate houses in London. Mr. Atsotrovs appeared in support - of a Pet tion from a number of individuals in the ward against the license. He read the preamble of the late Act, and read the definition in Todd's Johnson of an hotel, and said the question was, whether, horn the testimony of the witnesses examined, this house could be considered as an hotel, that is, " a place for the residence of Gen try ?" Was it enough that the word " hotel" should be written over these houses to entitle them to claim under this Act? If so, every coffee and chop-house in the country would have recourse to this simple device. The counter-certificate was then read. It stated that the former one was signed under the opinion that Mr. Hiliary only intended to renew his application for a wine license. The Magistrates decided against the license. Mr. Balm appeared in support of the application for a license on the part c•f the European Hotel, in Mansion House-street. The deci s ion in the last case was on the ground that the applicant had not proved that his house was an hotel previous to the Ist ofJanu ary. But he contended that it was not required by the Act that such proof should be obtained. Mr. Barry then read the Act, which laid the words in the disjunctive,. " eh° shall have kept such houses before the Ist of January or the passing of this Act." Ile did not deny that the Magistrates had the right to refuse these licenses; there were certain cases—for example, wine shades—in which such refusals might be made; but this was not the case in the present instance. Mr. Francis, one of the proprietors of tha hrtuse, stated, that he had taken the house expressly for the purpose of an hotel; he had fitted up lour beds for the accom modation of the customers, and had applied to the owners of the next house to purchase their apartments for bedrooms. la answer to a question from Mr. ADOLPHUS, the witness stated that the house was not opened until May. Mr. ADOLPHUS then read a section from the Act, which enacted that the house, on account of which such license shall be applied for, shall be continuously used as such from the Ist of January. The Court decided at once unanimously against the application. Mr. Oakes, the proprietor of the Portugal Hotel, in Fleet -street, was examined in support of a similar ap plication. This house had been fitted up as an' hotel for four years past. They had thitty beds, and several private rooms. The house had not undergone any change within the last few months. The chambermaid of the house was examined to prove that the house was an orderly and regular hotel. Some of the customers of the house proved having frequented the house as an hotel. Mfr ADOLPHUS did not deny that the house had been for years an hotel, but the Common Council had refused to make the regular recommendation in favour ct the house, on the ground that a new house was not wanted ; it was therefore for the Magistrate to determine if a new licenced house were wanted. Alderman WOOD said proof sufficient existed in the evidence adduced this day. The LORD MAYOR declared that the Court were una nimously of opinion that this was one of the cases con templated bytheAct,and granted the license accordingly. A similar application on behalf of the Colonial Coffee House came on next lot consideration. Application refused. 4 $ It is, Gentlemen of the Jury (said the Learned Gen tleman), my most painful duty, as • Counsel for the Crown, to lay before you the facts and circumstances connected with the case, upon which hereafter you wi;l be called upon to decide on the guilt or Innocence of the prisoner at the bar. It has always appeared to me to be the duty of Counsel, v. here so grave a charge,and one attended with such fetal results, occurs, neither to enlarge upon or aggravate it by appealing to the pas sions, or calling in the ,aid of fictitious elcqtiente.— Acting upon this principle, in a case of so notch im portance, I shall content myself with laying before you a plain narrative, and a distinct detail of the fact., such as, 1 am instructed, will be proved in evidence, and thus supply you with a general slew of the ca:e, which you will be enabled to judge of the importance of the investigation upon which you are about to enter. The prisoner, William Corder, was t e son r f respect able parents, living in the parish of Polsread, in this county ; his f4thtr has been some time dead ; while he was living he carried on the business of a farmer; horn the time of his death his mother conducted the agricul tural affairs, with the asskance of his elder br‘ther— when he died the prisoner aided her, and continued doing so until the latter end of September, 1827. Ma ria Marten, the young woman with whose murder the prisoner stands charged, was the daughter of parents its an humbler state of life; the prisoner and Maria Mar ten were formerly known to each other, a circumstance naturally accounted for, as they lived in the same vil lage; they did not, however, become intimate until shortly previous to the month rf May, 1826 ; they then had an intercourse, and an illegitimate child was the fruit of their illicit commerce; Maria Marten was not delivered at her father's house, but at some distance from her house, and at nearly six weeks before the May of 1827: she then returned home to her father's with an infant, and the prisoner Corder acknowledged it to be his ; some weeks alter her return the child suddenly expired, but during the time of its arrival and its de cease, the prisoner Corder, Upon more than one occa sion, had been heard to say, that he had been told that the parish officers were about to tak e th e . d ecease d , Maria Marten, up, for having born bastard children, gad to this feature in the case I would wish, Gentle men, particularly to direct your attention; but besides this, the mother and others have frequently heard them quarrelling, particularly as to a five pound note, and if 1 am instructed ri ghtly, that in one of th e i r quarre l s on that subject, Maria Martin, in reference to a transac tion connected with the five pounds, of which you shall hear more in the course of this investigation, said to him, li Well, Corder, if I go to gaol you shall also go with rte." During this time, I mean up to the period I have to speak of, Corder told her, perhaps for the pus- poses of pacification, that he would make her his wife; a
