cestatik Z'OMP4gt..: -f~ . . ithough troika die surplus of British , a por tion of it may often be diverted to foreign objects, and sometime; not the most judiciously, vet a Company form ' e d for British interests, not only has the strongest claini, but is certain to ensure the strongest support. Such is the case with the Canada Company, which, though of a mercantile character, and calculated to be very profitable to the Shareholder ) is important in a political point of view ; as Strengthening and improving most valuable colony, and affording a fair and ample field for British indUstry as well as British capital. We have aheady stated `he object of the Company, and we feel much pleasure in finding Ain our views of it are s ipported by the press generally. The British Press says, The undertaking reflects honour on the enlight• ened spirit of the present Administration, and cannot fail amply to reward the public-spirited individuals by whem it has been so far brought into maturity ;" and the Morning Chronicle contains the following sensible ob servations on the same subject:— " A new Joint Stock Company has been formed, under the de salination of the Canada Company, patronised by the most emi- D eot commercial characters In the City. It appears that for, apwards of thirty years it has been the practice a Canada to re feree for the Crown and Clergy two-sevenths (in lots of WO acres each) of the lands granted by Government; these reserves intersect all-the settled districts, and are in many places already surrounded by cultivation; an intolerable impediment to the natural progress of the Colony, for as such they are described by every traveller mho has visited the country. We, therefore, con sider this Company, not so much with regard to the pecuniary od a/maga which the shareholders may derive (though in that respect dose appear both well founded and of great protnise), as on account of its importance as a measure of Colonial policy. By the Pro spectus, it seems to present three important points, which deserve particular attention : • First, the consolatory circumstance, that for fifteen years the stun of twenty thousand pounds per annum will be applied in aid of the public revenue; or, more properly, to that extent this country w ill be relieved of the burden of expense to which it has hitherto been subjected on account of Upper Canada. During that period it is reasonably to be expected that the Province will become in a condition to provide for itself from its own resources. " The Second point of view in which this important ComPany deserves to be considered, is with regard to the aid which it will hereafter afford to emigrants. By becoming proprietors of heady one-fourth of the settled country of Canada, in lots of SOO acres each, amounting, a we understand, to more than two milliorls of acres, it is enabled to give to persons emigrating with a little capi tal, immediate settlement in the midst of a cultivated country. Government, in stipulating that the Company shall fulfil the con tract in fifteen years, has solar acted wisely ; but we cannot dis cover the wisdom of plating any restriction as to time on the ope. ratiNis.of the Company, for it would be fortunate if the whole system of colonization could be reduced to something like the basis and principles on which the Canada Company appears to have been formed. The most essential service, however, which the Company will render to itself and the Public (and fortunately its interests go Land in hand with those of the Public), is in providing employment fur emigrants who have no capital, either on its own lands or by lending pecuniary assistance to any local scheme that may be pro. posed for the advantage of the Colony, such as in the projected (anal for uniting the navigation of the great Lakes, for which the whole amount of the required capital cannot be raised in the coun try. On such public works the emigrant will find immediate em ployment, and by them the value of property in the country will be greatly augmented. " But it is in the Third point that we consider the institution et the Canada Company as an object of the greatest public interest. It is well known to every Canadian, that during the late war with America, the Crown and Clergy reserves of Upper Canada were promised to the American soldiers, if they conquered the country. Thus these lands hereafter, by ceasing to be public property, aid becoming that of a Trading Company, will be no logger a. bait to stimulate the ambition and cupidity of an invading army. Alto• gnher, the project seems to have been well digested, and has the prospect undoubtedly of yielding a very liberal return upon the capital from time to time, in addition to the interest of Four per Cent. which is to be allowed on the amount invested. Strictly speaking, the scheme of:the Canada Company may be described as a Loan at Fouler Cent. by way of mortgage on the Crown and Clergy reserves of Upper Canada, which mortgage, to the extent of 20,0001. annum, is allowed to be foreclosed every year for a' an increasing value, the increase of valise Company." )NAYS, who had arrived at Ham gone to Carlsbad, but the Countess, with Pais.

YORK, AUGUST 9. • WHITE D. ARNITT AND OTHERS. Mr. PARK opened the pleadings. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants, for a trespass which they had committed in violently entering his house, seizing his goods, and turning himself and his family into the streets, and also for an assault. The defendants pleaded first that they were not guilty, and then several special pleas, justifying the trespass and as sault. This was the issue that the Jury had to try. Mr. Serjeant Cnoss stated the case to the Jury, and called several witnesses. Mr. Scatmarr appeared for the defendant —Verdict for the plaintilf—Damages 3001. • SALISBURY, AUGUST 9. Robert Ford was indicted for burgiariously breaking and entering the cheese house (which was part of the dwelling-house) of William Green, in the parish of Melksham, on the 12th of May, and stealing 16 cwt. of cheese, value 151. his pro'perty.—Gssilty—Death. Sarah Kingston was indicted for stealing in the day time, from the house of James Jones, in the parish of Bradford, on the 16th June, sixty-one guineas, twenty- , four half-sovereign one hundre d e and fifty-one half crowns, and other monies, his property.—TheJury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended her to mercy.. THE DUKE OF SOMERSET V. THE HUNDRED OF MERE. This was an action to recover damages for loss sus tained by the plaintiff in consequence of the malicious setting on fire of two houses alleged to be his property. The fact or the houses being set on fire, at one o'clock, in a calm night, was proved ; but a question arose as to the tight of the Noble Duke to bring his action; it being admitted that he had only a reversionary interest in the houses in question. A verdict for the plaintiff was therefore taken, subject to the opinion of the Court above on the point of law. BROWN V. DALLIMORE A'ND OTHERS. Mr. Serjeant Pau, stated, on the part of the plaintiff, that this action was brought by his client, a man in humble life, to recover compensation in damages for injuries sustained by the negligence of a driver of a van belonging to the defendants, which prevented Browne from following his occupation as a gardener. The Jury would hear from the witnesses, that on the 23c1Decem ber last the plaintiff was proceeding in his cart toward- Lavington, on the Bath road, when he heard a van that belonged to the defendants, and which ran betireen London and Bath, coming behind him. He placed his cart as far from the middle of the road as he could, as he was fearful of some accident; but the driver of the van thought proper to tun down so closely upon the plaintiff's cart, that collision became unavoidable. The consequence was, that the wi-cel of the van struck the off-wheel of the cart, and so violent was the concussion that it was overturned, and the poor man, who was sit ting in it, had his leg broken. The road where the ac cident happened was wide; there was not the least rea son for the driver of the van to come near the cart, and the only excuse that would be made for him, which would not avail him in that Court, was intoxication. After the examination of a number of witnesses, The Jury shortly consulted, and said, they wished to give the plaintiff 1001. above all his expenses. His Loansure desired them to consult again, as their verdict was not sufficiently deficits. The Jury then returned a verdict for plaintiff—Damagee, 2001. Mr. Baron GAILIOW observed, that the formation of societies of coach proprietors for the purpose of resisting, at the common ex pense similar actions to the present, was calculated to do very great mischief to the Public. Whatever threatened to diminish the secu rity of persons who were obliged to trust themselves to the skill and attention of coachmen, was an evil that could not be too strongly de precated. These combinations evidently had that tendency, and therefore ought to be watched with the greatest jealousy. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, AUGUST 9. PREMIER V. SYMONDS. This was an action brought by a broker and carpenter of Newmarket, against the defendant, a barber, of the same place, to recover a difference (in account) of 11. 19,. The case was " Newmarket* all over ! The stake was "feather weight; the witnesses all "sharp as my spurs;" and the very attorney's clerk is the cause sported a white hat, and a crimson neckcloth, and cleared the gate-post by "the eighth of an inch," as he Ave his master's rumble-tumble into town. Mr. H. COOPIIII (for the plaintiff) suggested that Mr. Symonds took rank as a perruquier—for " barber," and even " hair-dresser," were now terms grown obsolete, or out of fashion. He (defendant) lived at Newmarket —a town of jockies, as Duke's-place, in London, was a town of Jews—and had stayed long in the second grade of his calling, operating humbly upon the heads and chins of grooms and post-boys, until success had made him ambitious to practice upon those of their masters. An alley residence being unsuited to ambitious views like these, the defendant had moved from his back street into the face of day ; and dashing out at once to the ut most teaching of his soul, which was to be a top tensor in the High -street, and letting lodgings to M. P.s in the race-time, he had employed the plaintiff to furnish and fit up a house for him suited to such purposes. Now, for fitting up the apartments which were to contain the M.P.'s, and moreover a snug little shaving-shop on the ground-floor (for the defendant could not all at once afford to give up his old friends, the ready-money cus tomers), the plaintiff had charged only £33. 19s. which was in fact giving away his goods, and his work after wards, to have them taken. But although £2O had been originally paid without objection, the pertinacious powderer of canons now scrupled the odd £l3. 19s. and refused to pay more than £l2, a sum which the plain tiff's honour forbade hiM to accept. The particulars of the plaintiff's demand were then put in and proved; involving " bed-side carpets,"l painted wash'-hand stands," •' double japanned can- dlesticks," and a great variety of other articles, destined for the benefit of the M. P.'s. The chief dispute arose, however, upon a charge for " partitioning off a little shaving-room," which was to separate the defendant's gentlemen customers from the more profane population of the " training stables." Several witnesses (in trade) were examined on this paper, whose dress, appearance, and demeanour, differed altogether from thole of the more sane, arfi less sporting, divisions . of society. All the people, of whatever calling, looked like ostlers or stable-boys. The carpenters wore eight handkerchiefs a-piece about their necks. Hair-dressers mounted " frock coats, under waistcoats," and blue or yellow " stocks." Not a person would take his oath on any thing short of a pair of top-boots; and one rogue handled the swearing-book as though it had been the Racing Calendar. Mr. &rotes, for the defendant, threw the blame of the action upon the plaintiff, whose joiners' work, he and, was u objection able as his bed-side carpets and mahogany able,. The plaintiff, in Abort, was a man not fit to put up a partition for anybody. Witnesses were then called for Mr. Symonds, who swore that the plaintiff's work and wares were the worst they had ever seen. Others were called for Mr. Prober, who swore that his work and /wares were the heat that they lad ever seen. Mr. ?None., In reply, urged the iate period at which the defend. ant took his objection. 'the plaintiff was concerned in the matter, not on account of his money, but on account of Ids character for, were he to accept the tender, all the work] must, with one voice, cry out--" See that fellow! he charged 131. 19s. for putting up a partition ; and now b'e is forted to take about 81. less than his demand !"—Verdict for the plaintiff—Dsmages 11.45. LIMERICK, AUGUST 7. Pntrick Marone and James Manane (brothers), and John Greene, were indicted for attacking the house of Major Hare, and for the murder of the said Major Hare. Mr. Serjeant GooLD stated the case for the prosecu ben, the Jury were called tO decide on a transaction which took place on the Slst of January, 1822. The deceased, Major Hare, lived at a place called MOunt Slany, within three miles of the town of Rathkeale.— (Here the Learned Serjeant proceeded to detail the facts as they afterwards appeared in evidence, and then pro ceeded). The providence of GOD, it would appear, was exerted on this occasion- - --it was decreed that the mur derers should not escape—the very man produced before yo■ this day, and whoseguilty conscience save him warn ing to escape horn this country, had,what he thought, the good fortune to reach the shores of North America. At that time an officer in his Majesty's service, a Gen tleman who bears the name of Massey, had intimation that that person had been concerned in the murder of Major Hare. They met by accident in Quebec, and Mr. Massey had the good sense to have him arrested. On being arrested, his conscience smote him, and he made those disclosures which would be heard in evidence.— The moment the news of the arrest of Oliver Fitzgerald arrived, the prisoners, who were at home till then, fled. The prisoner Greene fled to the county of Clare, and assumed another name. The -prisoners Patrick and James Manane, after a very diligent search, were found concealed under a bed.—The first witness for the Crown was then examined. Oliver Fitzgerald recollects the night that Major Hare was shot ; saw the prisoners on the day before, at the Rlce-course of Rathkeale; they appointed before that to meet to go to Mr. Copley's to take arms; witness and the prisoners arrived and got arms at Copley's, and then proceeded homewards. On the way home it was pro posed by one of the party to call at Crawley's house to take refreshments. There were three brothers of the Crawleys, who took the party into a barn. They brought out some potatoes and meat. The party laid by their arms. The Crawleys wished to have some. The party desired them to get arms for thems!lves. It was agreed to go to Major Hare's, and they all proceeded there ex cept D. Donovan, who got tired on the way. Two of the Crawleys, and two strange boys joined them, and went with them to Major Hare's. It was night; w a rlit round the house, and found the lower windows in front barred. They went to the rear of the house, and discovered a window which was not barred. They broke that window, and all entered, except the prisoner Greene and the two strange men. They remained out as sentinels. They discovered a room on the right hand as they went in, and found a man in bed there. He bawled out, and said he was a servant-man. They left a man over him, and the rest proceeded up stairs until they came to the second lobby. There they found a door on the right hand and a door on the left. The rest of the party wore up before witness, and they went into the room on the right hand. They said, as witness came up, that there was nothing in the room but a bed, which ' was empty. As witness turned round, the opposite door was opened; a man came out at the door in his shirt and nig ht - cap, and presented a gun at him. Yoa rebels," said he, and be snapped and missed tire. He then clew back into the room, and witness threw away the gun he had, to try to catch him if he could. Just as he opened his bed-chamber door he made to 'wards witness, struck him with a gun, and cut him in the forehead. Witness caught . the man in his arms. Hare had a gun in his hand, and witness took it from him. Witness found his face covered with blood, and made a punch with the gun at his left side; he caught hold of the gun a second time ; then the prisoner, Pa trick Manane, stepped back, and shot Major Hare. Both the Major and witness at the time bad hold of the gun; witness suffered injury from the shot. Major Hare fell ; as he was falling, the prisoner Patrick Manane struck him with the butt-end of the gun. Some more of the party after that got arms. Witness believes that they got the arms above stairs ; they then went down stairs; witness remained in the lobby. When he went down, the party had a candle lighting. Witness told them that his hat remained above, and that he wanted to go for it. He asked one of them to go with him. James Manane went with him ; they went up where they were before. When they came to the lobby, where Major Hare was stretched dead, Mrs. Hare was in her bed-chamber; she asked, " where her husband was; or was he dead r One of them answered, " that he was not." They then proceeded into the bed-chamber, and de manded ammunition from Mrs. Hare. She thought that it was money they asked for. She said there was very little money in the house. They told her it was not money they wanted, but ammunition. She drew oat the drawer of a table, and handed James Manane a shot-pouch; there was some shot in it. Then they left the room ; there was a good deal of blood on his face at the time. Witness and James Manane then went down stairs. On going down stairs, James Manane said that there was some blood on him. Witness said it was the first blood that was on him. Before witness went down, the first time he put a handkerchief on his head. The party got at Major Hare's a short gun, a gun that they considered a towling-piece, and another . gun with a home-made stock. Witness does not think that Greene came into the house at all ; he saw him outside when they came out ; the whole party then went tack to Crawleys"house. Examined by Mr. Jacesox.—Witness sits there at his ease; was present at the murder; knew that he had committed crimes, but not to hang twenty men ; came from America; would take a naan's life to save his own, if he met him in the night ; meat have been hanged if be had not become an informer ; the met at the bar were acquaintaxees of his; he knew them from his infancy ; he would hang men be knew from his infancy to save his life ; be would not thaw his soul to save his life ; witness was not so calm on the night the transaction as he is now ; he was agitated that night ; his was agitated when the deceased fired at him; witness did not like to see him dead; he was not greatly grieved; the transaction took place upwards of two years and a half ago; witness was charged with other murders; he was charged with two; one of them was the murder of a man at .Shanagolden, and the other was the murder of Gorman. He robbed Mr. Beake of his gee, in May, 1822 ; he went to America ; he came back ; and he feared that some of his accomplices were hanged on his return; he does not think it makes much difference in what way a man is murdered, whether with a gun or a rope; when he saw the man dead he demanded powder from the widow to commit more crimes. Copley, Esq. resided at Ballyclough ; there were five or six' men came into his room on the night of Major Hare's murder ; they demanded arms; they took arms. Here the witness described the quantity of arms that had been taken from bim. They did no* sit down ; they held conversation with witness for twenty minutes; vritnesi.now loaked at the prisoners : be could not swear that any of the prisoners were there. Mrs. Hare, widow of the deceased, examined.—Recollects the night in January, 11125, when her house was attacked ; the atuch was made between eleven and twelve o'clock. She had retired to bed ; she was awakened by a noise Coming from the stairs, the nn:se of feet. She awoke Major Hare by shaking hint. Be ran to the corner where big arms were kept, cocked a gun, and ran on•. Heard him say, " What are you doing tbstre you rascals?" There appeared some persons outside the door, bursting the door ni en. There was a short struggle and a shut was fired. Same -whet- witnesses were examined, when the Yarned ;Judge having charged the Jury they returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoners heard the verdict with awful soLmnity, but with unshaken firmness. ..... The Juramt proceeded to pass sentence—that they should be hanged on Monday, the 9th of August, at the common place of exe cution, "and be hanged by the peck till you are dead; that your bodies be delivered up for dissection; and the I.c.su have ni icy on your souls." The prisoners heard this sentence with the utmost resignation.-- The prisoner Patrick Maxims, just as the Judge concluded, drew back a few paces from the front of the dock, with extended ..rms, and in a tone and manner the most impressive th . at we have ever witnessed, replied to the prayer of the Jugge, hi. eyes at the samr. time turned towards Heaven—" Amen, Amen, me Lord; perhaps it is all well. I hope it may be for the better, that we are wring place of misery, and going to a place of happiness. I forgive my prosecutor—the Jury I freely forgive, as Ido all mankind. We go to meet death like Christian men. • May GOD of Heaven bless you all." The prisoners were conducted to the jail under a heavy escort of the 3tl Light Dragoons; they passed through the principal streets of Limerick, surrounded by some hunuic..i. of weeping relatives and friends—a scene more truly distressing could not well be imagined. The unfortunate prisoners walked with their bats off, and preserved the same decorous and manly conduct that characterized them.. throughout their trial, and at the awful moment of their couviction. HAYMARKET THEATRA A comic Opera was last night produced at this Theatre, entitled The Alceid ; or, the Secrets of Q9icc.—The business of this Opera arises out of the irregularities which occur in the family of Don Christopher, the aflcaid, a very self-sufficient personage, who believes that nothing can escape his observation, and who considers his wife, his son, his niece, and himself, to furnish " a constellation of virtue not to be equalled in all Spain." But the wife, who can only find pleasure in obedience, desires to go to a masquerade, which the Amid wishes her not to visit. She and her niece are enabled to go by the connivance of a faithful Secretary, who is as great a paragon in his way, as the other individuals, who are so rnanp ingredients in the Don's cup of bliss. Some embarrassment arises out of the masquerading, as the Lady loses the key of her chamber, and cannot regain her apartment withbut being seen.— The Don's suspicion is roused by seeing the wife and niece in their evening finery at an early hour in the morning ; but the Secretary Perms°, who lies for the whole dramatis persona, gets them out of the scrape by pretending they had resolved on celebrating the Alcairs birth-day a month before it arrives. The same story accounts for the sudden appearance of the son, whO was supposed re be studying at Salamanca, but who has beets detained by a love-affair at no great distance from the residence of his father. Both eon and niece give their hearts where it was not the intention of the A/cuid to see them bestowed ; but after a good deal of confusion, concealment, and dis covery, he is reconciled to the choice which they make for them selves, and two additions are supplied by marriage to this exemplary family, with a fair prospect of a further increase. This Opera is understood to be furnished by Mr. KUNST; and, we believe, taken from the French. The music by Norman is uniformly prettp.4 The Overture was very much , applauded. Two songs by Madame VESTRIS and Miss PATON were encored, as was a duet between them, and a comic song by Haatty. The former Lady acted the part of the Sets with all her wonted playfulness. Mrs. Gunrsa and Mrs. Gum contri buted much to the general effect of the representation. The part sustained by Mrs. Gateau: was intended for Miss Love, who, we understand, has been lately indisposed. The readiness with which Mrs. GARRICK came forward to undertake it, and the manner in .which she acquitted herself upon a short notice, were highly to bee credit. PASTAN gave an amusing picture of short-sighted sagacity, in the Alcoa. Lissun, in a lying Secretary, played the rogue with iufinite humour; and Matey, as a jealous husband, furnished a' whimsical burlesque on some of the evils of matrimony. The Opera was announced fur repetition with applause. THE. MARKETS. (FROM TIM LONDON PRICR CURRENT, AUGUST 10.)

Is the Weald of Kent they are turning yellow. The duty is estimated at £141,000, and should the fine weather last, we may anticipate that the quality will be very good, in consequence of the blues being so free from vermin. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, AUGUST it. The arrival of Wheat since Monday bu been my ineousider able, and the trade is in a very dull state, thoogh without alteration in price. Barley, Beans, and Peas sell on much the same temp, and in Oats there is but little business, though the supply Dow at market Is very limited ; we do not, however, eonsider them cheaper. In other articles there is little variation.—Ar rivals : English Wheat, 2,400; Barley, 160; Oats, GAO; Irish Oats, 5,900 tirs ; Flour, 2,100 sacks. The recent discoveries of Professor GIWITHAMIN, the Moonich Astronomer, have been but imperfectly detailed in the Daily Papers. . The Learned Professor finds that the moonites are by no means ignorant of horticulture : the crops of vegetables are good, but, he says, do not exhibit many varieties of each kind: thus, among peas, they have no Prussian blues; nor have. they any Windsor beans. The inhabitints do not, ►t seems, make the most of their gardens, for the Professor ascertained that the onions are running to seed, and that the French beans have got.too large even for pickling.
