SINGULAR 2FFAIR. • . The ehrilersation of the fashionable coteries at Brighton for the ls , t few days has been entirely engrossed by the affair between the Earl of and, a Mr. 'l s w—sn—N, the latter Gentleman having unceremoniously 'posted his Lordship, at Lucombe's Li brary, and other public places. The following particulars we have gathered from report: The Gentlemen abovementioned agreed (as it is asserted by Mr. T.) some years back, that .€2oco should he paid to the other by the individual who should first succeed to his expected estates. His Lordship having obtained possession of great property by a recent death, the sum as stated was demanded by Mr. T. His Lord ship. however, denied ever having entered into the contract alleged, :aid consequently refused paying the money ; on which Mr. T. is said to have offered to produce a third gentleman, who was present 'at the time of the agreement being made, and who doubtless could :speak to the fact. It is stated by the friends of his Lordship, and we have nut beard it contradicted, that this Gentleman on 'being called on, had no remembrance of the alleged contract. — Mr. T. however insisted, and again reiterated his demand ; and on his Lordship again refusing payment, sent a challenge by a friend, a Mr. li—sts—a, which his Lordship refused to accept. The con sequence of which was, the determination of Mr. T. to post his lAtsiship, wh!ch he immediately did.. Deposition on oath having 'been made by Mr. A —a, before Sir IS Sears, that a challenge had been sent, and that certain valuable lives were thereby endange red, 'warrants were instantly issued for the apprehension of all the parties. —His Lordship was taken at the York lintel, late on Friday even ing, and entered into heavy recognisances to preserve the peace. Every effort to discover the opposite parties has hitherto proved in effectual; it is reported they have left Brighton. We further learn that his Lordship has submitted the case to Counsel, who have ad vised ulterior proceedings, which, we are further informed, are in active progress.—We st Susses Advertiser. CHESTER, SEPTEMBER is. JACICKON V. WILKINSON. In this case. which was a question of title to a strip of ground, the whole value of which was only S. a year, Samuel Mean was called as a witness to prove the trespass, and his master had drilled him to recollect the day, which he had told him was the lit of April, and cautioned him that no one made a fool of him : saying, he must recollect the day, or they would make a foul of him. Mr. Jonas questioned him as to the numi er of days iu Septem ber, in April, in March. and in January, to all of which he re plied, " I do not know," in a long drawling sound, which he never altered. At last 3lr. Justice Juana asked him what month fol lowed?--" I do not know." The Catty Joavice wished to ask one question, which was," What day comes after the 31st of March ?"—" Why, the .12d, tube sure." (A laugh).— Mr. &mice, at last, wishing to redeem him, thought he would put a question that he could not fail to answer correctly ; this was—" Is April fool day at the beginning of April, or the lat ter e nd?"-.." Why, the latter end, to be sure!" . The Earl of C LARIENDON is seriously indisposed at Rath. The Earl of HARRINGTON, who has been much indis posed since his arrival in town, is getting better. rd GirroaD's house at the Rolls, including the, Court itself, is undergoing an extensive repair.

The astonishing powers of this eele b ated Vocalist elicited narked and universal approbation. In the ballad of Home, sweet Some, she was very fines and, by desire of the audience, it was repeated. Preparations for the Irish survey are actively going on. Detachments of Officers are now in various parts of Eng land, for instruction, and the Director, with one subaltern, have recently arrived in Dublin, to decide on the part to commence, which beginning will be in the spring.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS-THIS DAY. These Sessions commenced this morning at the Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey, before Mr. Justice Lirrtroatx, Mr. Justice Out ten, the Loan Marisa RECoanza, Aldermen, &c.—There are in all 350 prisoners for trial. Datil Morgan, alias lifasut, and James Seniors:, alias Sisson, were put to the bar on an Indictment, charging them with stealing in the dwelling-house of Edward Vizier, of Bond-street a valuable watch, his property. There were two other distinct Charges against the prisoners, preferred by Charles M'Phail, and Isaac Leplastrier. The circumstances of this case were as follow: On the 7th of June, the prisoners, as alleged, went into the shop of the prose cutor, and pretended to want a wrch. They were accordingly *hewn one, and after some conversation as to the price, they left the shop, and the watch in question was missed. The prisoners of course did not return, but were subsequently recognised at Lam beth-street Polieti-ollice, where they were in custody on one of the other charges. In the course of the examination of the witnesses for the pro secution, it turned out that the watch was not complete, as it wanted the dial plate, hands, and part of the interior of the works. Mr. Law, who defended the prisoners ' accordingly objected to the case proceeding, as the indictment ch arged them with stealing a watch, while this was merely , an incomplete article. The Juoces allowed the objection—the prisoners were acquitted. RaBBERY BY A SERVANT. .Letitia Bickers ' was indicted for stealing, on the 1&h of August, in the parish of Chelsea, a variety of articles, the property of her master and mistress, Mr. and Mrs. Balks, of Sloane-street. The prisoner had lived for a short time in the family of the prosecutor, and, on the day in question, sbscondcd early in the morning, taking with her the property in question. She was subsequently met by the prosecutor's wife, and thence taken to Bow-street. The Jury found the prisoner Gviity. NEW COURT. (Before the Recoloaa).

CHAitoli OP DISTRIBUIGUNG THEM AMONGST THE SOLDIERS AT WOOLWICH. Monday, Mr. G. Hale, of Lambeth, formerly.a re spectable tradesman in the Strand, was charged before Sir J. W EBB and the Rev. J. Miasma, at the Police office, Woolwich, with distributing to the soldiers in those barracks, a number of seditious publications, tend ing to excite them to mutiny and discontent. The pri soner does not appear to be more than SO. and his dress resembled that worn by the Quakers. He was appre hended on Saturday, in the Guard Room of the Bit-- racks. A number of privates and non-commissioned officers appeared to support the charge against the-pri soner, who, it st as stated, had for the last seven months been busily engaged in writing and distributing pam phlets amongst the soldiers and sailors, at all the bar racks and docks within 100 milet of London. Mr. XlEssivErt told the accused that the charge against him was of a serious nature, as he had been actively en gaged in endeavouring to induce the soldiery to throw off their allegiance to their Sovereign, and to rebel against their superiors. Mr. Hale denied that he hid any such intention. About eighteen pamphlets were produced, and seve ral bundles of similar publications unopened, whic'h had been taken from the accused on his apprehension. 'Me l bundles were marked " Chatham," " Maidstcnte," " Can terbury," •' Sandgate," " Dover," and " Mr. MessivEß told the accused, that he was fearful he was the tool or agent of a society of persons in Lon don ; and asked him if it was not his intention to have distributed the contents of the several parcels to the soldiery at the different places written on each enve lope? Mr. Mae replied, that there was nothing secret about his conduct, and he did not hesitate to admit that such was his intention. Mr. Mossirsa—These publications. though they pretend to be reiisious works, are of the most mischiaous tendency. What is your object? Mr. Ihle—My object is to put an end to war and bloodshed, and' . . - the slaughter of my fellow-anen; and I advise the soldiers to obey the word of Gon, rather than the orders of men. Sir J. Wicra—l should like to know who you are? Mr. Hale—l reside at No. 3, Thomas-place, Lambeth; and have till lately kept a shpe and boot-warehouse us the Strand, and in New-street, Covent-garden. A drummer-boy at the Woolwich Barracks war sworn; and stated that the accused, on Saturday morn ing last, gave him five pamphlets to distribute to his. fellow. soldiers. He produced them : they were en titled The Two Opinions. A corporal proved that the accused came to the gate of the barracks on Saturday afternoon, and asked him if. he might go into the barrack-rooms and distribute pam phlets ? He replied, that he had better ask the serjeant of the guard. The accused then went into the guard room, and asked the serjeant if he might distribute some pamphlets among the privates ? 7he serjeant re plied that he had better not ; and at that moment the privates put out their hands, and the accused gave them some of the works, which the witnesses produced. The Magistrates now called on Mr. Hale to find bail ; but he said he should not find bail, for he had corn. mitted no offence, either legal or moral. Sir J. WEBB told him it was not for him, an ignorant person, to expound the laws. lie had violated a statute by omitting the printer's name on the pamphlets; by which he had subjected himself to penalties •mounting to several hundred pounds. Mr. Hale gave the name of a printer in Shoe-lane; and said he knew they were afraid of meeting him upon the merits of his works, and if Government prosecuted him for the unintentional omission pointed out, it was an act most cruel and cowardly. Sir J. Walla told him Government was inclined to act tpvi ands him with lenity, and the only object was to stop him in so illegal and dangerous a course. He wished him (Mr. Hale) to say, whether he would desist from publishing these pamphlets if he were set at libel ty ? Mr. Hate—" If I were set at liberty now, I would distribute them again, and am ready to answer fur what I have done before any tribunal. Answer me by arguments, and not by threats." The Magistrate agreed to transmit to the Secretary .for the Home Department, the documents taken from the prisoner, to have the opinion of Government how to 'proceed ; and the accused was remanded. The Magis trates informed him that they should not send him to a prison, but he should remain in custody of a constable at a taster p, as it was far from their wish to place a man of respectable appearance amongst the wretched crea tures in the cage. Yesterday Mr. Hale . was again brought up on the ap plication of a friend of the accused, to obtain the precise charge against him. The Magistrates first refused to say what he would be ultimately charged with, whether for sedition or for the omission of the printer's name; that it would depend on instructions from London. Sir J. Wass said the Magistrates were responsible if they acted illegally, and asked if he was a professional man ? He replied that he was not : but be should bring one on behalf of the prisoner on the re-examination. It was stated that Mr. Hale had expended in a few months £2OO in bilk, placards, and pamphlets, addressed to the Army and Navy. 'the Magisuates told him that if he would find sureties to answer the charge, and for his good behaviour in future, they would set him at liberty. He refused to trouble any friend to bail him, and was remanded for final examination this day. It was stated that the accused had thrown hand-bills with his books over the barrack walls at Kensington, Regent's Park, &c. The bill was. this—" Soldiers! Listen to the voice of trutb, the voice or Goo, ere it be too late. War is contrary to GOD'S word and the Christian religion." The front of the new Ts easui y, io nuliament-street, is to by adorned with •oluted pillars. The following letter, dated from Callao, April 20, is curious, as shewing that the troops who delivered up , that fortress to the Spaniards were deceived into that act of treachery, and that there was little prospect of their remaining long attached to their new masters : " Of course you have heard of the unfortunate business of the sth of February last. This the Spaniards w ish to attribute to the love of Ferdinand ; but the fact is, that the soldiers forming the detachment of the arm) of the Andes, disgusted with the conduct of.their Chiefs, to whom they attributed the state of misery and poverty to which they were reduced, demanded in the first in stance the payment of their arrears, without having ail idea whatever of joining with the Spaniard. Unfortu nately, their own officers having been placed in confine. meat, and the men therefore being left without their usual advisers, some of the Spintish prisoners took ad vantage of this, and persuaded them, that after their in• subordinate conduct towards the Patriot authorities, all hope of reconciliation must be at an end ; and that, hatever might be the promises made as the pi ice of their ' submission, they never would be fulfilled when the Pa; triots had the power in their own haods ; at the same time pointing out the advantages which would attend a union with the Spaniards. On this persuasion the troops yielded, and gave up the fortress; but the garrison are nut, and cop never be, Cordial blends w ith the Spaniards."

The betting was nearly even; hut Raines, the Staffordshire man, for choice, against his Yorkshire opponent.

THE 'BATH TINMAN, ♦no Bisuor Ha artts.—These men, who are no strangers to courage and the prize-ring, fought their third battle yesterday, on Bitford Common, six miles from Saw htidgeworth, and four from Hockerell, in a 24-feet squire. Moss had won the first battle, and Harris the second, after a very manly struggle. This match was for a stake of 80 sovereigns, and it was truly one of the " Greek meet Greek" sort. Phillips seconded the Titnan,*and Ben Ford picked up Harris. Capt. Smith was umpire for both. After a well-contested combat of 14 rounds, in 37 mi nutes, Moss was declared the victor.
