In particular, we have to notice the polite atten tions of Mr. SIMrsON, who on each succeeding evening was most assiduous and successful in his efforts for the accommodation of the visitors. The Proprietors also deserve great credit for the effective police which was constantly in attendance, and by which every attempt at riot or disorder was immediately suppressed. SUMNER ASSIZES. CHESTER, AUGUST 31. ROBINSON V. WOODFIELD. This was an action on two several bonds, brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, his nephew, to re cover the sum of 4501. after a lapse of twentythree years. The defendant denied his liability. From the statement of Mr. Serjeant CROSS, it ap peared that the plaintiff had lent the defendant's father, in his life time, two several sums amounting to the above. The defendant was the heir at law of his father, and had just come into possession of landed property to the amount of £l4O per annum. The widow of the de ceased had taken out letters of administration, and the plaintiff now sought to recover his demand. Mr. WILLI/tars, on the part of the defendant, took an objection to the stamps, and cited the 4.Bth Geo. 111. c. 49, which required an ad valorem duty to the extent of the money borrowed where mortgaged deeds accom panied the bonds. In this instance the stamp on the second bond was only £1 10s. The CHIEF JUSTICE overruled the objection, and the fact went to the Jury,.who, under hit Lordship's direc tion, found for the plaintiff, and assessed the land under the Act of King William to be of the value of 2,0001.

An Inquisition was last night taken at the Griffin, Villiers-street, Strand, on the body of a child, the son of Mr. 'Wm. Shand, artificial leg-maker, of Bucking ham-street, aged seven months, who, as alleged, met his death in consequence of the gross neglect and inat tention of the nurse, a person named Bigg, resident at Ealing Dean, Middlesex. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that on Monday week the child was sent to Ealing Dean, for the purpose of weaning, but in a few days the grand mother of the deceased, who resided in the neighbour hood, found he had become so extremely ill, that she came to her daughter early last M.nday morning, and informed her of it. She instantly took A coach and discovered her child was dangerou.ly ill, and in conse quence brought it honie directly. Dr. Macdorrald was in waiting when she arrived, who, on examining the body, found several very serious sores, in appearance as if produced by burns or scalds, received while in care of the nurse. All the witnesses concurred in stating that the infant was flee from blemish when he was sent to the nurse, who on her part, swore as positively that the mat ks were on the'child when she received it from its mother. This woman, however, swore so contra dictorily, that she was frequer tly warned by the Coroner and the Jut y. The husband of the nurse was• called, but he made the case worse against her, as he swore he bad seen her apply fuller's earth to the infant. I Alter an examination, whith lasted 'until eleven o clock, the Jury unanimousl y agreed' to the following verdict :—" The deceased came by its death in conse quence of the gross neglect aid ill-treatment it had received from its nurse, Mary Biggs." During the Inquest, one of the Jurors rose, and taking his hat in his hand, walked out of the room. This was observed by another Juror, who informed the Coroner of it. The Gentleman, however, had gone home, and a stop was of course put to the inquiry. The beadle was instantly dispatched in pursuit of him, and after some delay, returned. Mr. limos, the Coroner, admo nished him as to the impropriety of his conduct, and observed, however he might be disposed to overlook it, still he must have represented it to the Sessions, had any of his brother Jurors expressed themselves desirous to do so. Juror—Certainly, Sir, I erred In Ignorance of the necessity of my remaining all the time. Several Jurors expressed a hope that it would be overlooked, and the Coroner accordingly acceded to their request. An Aggregate Meeting was lately held at Cork, to vote an Address to M o C _._ONNELL. The proceedings of this Meeting are given at great length in the hash Papers, but posiess very littl6 interest for the English public. A Mr. RONAYNE opposed the proposed honour, and Mr. Raic, one of the Catholic Deputation, sup ported it. The vote was carried with one dissentient. FinEs —This morning, betwe..n one and two o'clock, a fire broke out at a public house in Long Acre, the sign of the Coach Makers Arms, at the corner of Hanover-street, kept by Mr. Hatton. The watchman gave the alarm, and till arrival of the engines being prompt, the dreadful effects of the devouring element was fortunately arrested bet% le much damage was done. —About one o'clock yesterday, the shop of Mr.SrEscatt, oil-man, No. 54, Cromer-street, near the Foundling Hospital, was discovered to be on fire. The alarm spread instantly through the street ; and by the alacrity of the neighbours the fire was got under before it com municated to any other part of the hobse, or before the arrival of any of the fire-engines; although great part of the goods in the shop were destroyed or damaged. We regret to state, that a young man, named Edgely. had his hands and face severely scorched, in his praise. worthy exertions to quench the fire. The house and property were insured. Last night the residence of JOHN HOLMes, Esq. High 'Bailiff of the Borough, was entered by some villains, and a considerable quantity of plate and wearing ap parel carried off, which the thieves packed up by the light of the hall-lamp, which they kindled for the put-. pose. The silver mounting of a drinking-horn was taken off, and the horn left behind. One of those melancholy accidents which . frequently add to the miseries of the poor, occurred a fortnight ago, in the family of Griffiths, ih Hanford-street, Bristol, whose child, a tine boy, about two years Qt Age, drank bulling water out of a t a kettle ; he fits gered in great agonies until the next day, and expired.
