This Court sat fora few hours; but no business possessing any degree of public interest occurred. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT Et. BUSINESS Orr THE COURT. An application was made this morning, by Mr. Andrews, to restore to his Lordship's paper, a cause, which had been struck out during the present Sittings under the following circumstances :—On the day that the cause was set down for trial, the defendant's Attor ney offered the Plaintiff's attorney a cognovit, and the plaintiff's attorney having accepted the offer, the parties left the Court, but before the execution of the cognovit the cause was called on, and no attorney appearing for the plaintiff, it was struck out, and the defendant then refused to give the cognovit. The Learned Counsel now submitted that the cause ought to be restored, as the absence of the plaintiff's attorney was owing to the defendant's offer. The Loan Cum 'us:ice—When a cause is set down in my paper, it is the duty of the plaintiff's attorney to attend, or to have some person in attendance. If attorneys don't think fit to attend I will sulks the cases out, and I will not listen to applications of this sort. If attorneys would attend, the public dine would not be wasted by applications of this kind. I will not restore the cause. Mr. CostYN made a similar application, upon an affidavit, stating that the plaintiff ' s attorney was out of Co urt, in search of a witness, when the cause was struck out. The Loan Cam Jusrics refused to restore the cause, and again repeated, that it was the duty of attorneys to attend, or to have some person in attendance. CRoSsiIELD D. MASON AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attor ney's clerk, to recover from the defendants the sum of 21. les. paid by him to the defendants, for ten tickets for an excursion to the Note, on board the Hero steam vessel, together with other expenses incurred by the plaintiff, in consequence of the defendants not having performed their contract. Mr. Scaai.wrx conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. GIIIMeIf appeared for the defendants. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, sup. ported by evidence, it appeared, that a few days before the 19th of July last, the defendants published a pls. card, stating that, nn the latter day, " A Coronation Gala and Grand Naval Masquerade" would be given on board " that grand Floating Palace, the Hero steam vessel," which was to leave the Tower Stairs at eight o'clock in the morning, for the Nore, and to return that evening, before dusk, to her moorings at the Tower Stairs ; 41 tickets Ss. 6d. each." "Breakfast, dinner, supper, &c. to be had on board on reasonable terms." The passengers were to have permission to go on shore at Sheerness for one hour and a half, and to view " his Majesty's stupendous ships of war," laying off Sheerness. " Dancing of every description," and " a pandeart band," &c. to be on board. The plaintiff and his party were punctual in their attendance at the Tower Stairs, and having, with about 2.50 other per sons, got on board, the " floating palace" (which had returned that - morning from Calais, her boiler having burst on the passage), they were informed that she could not proceed on the excursion, until some trifling repairs should be c , mpleted. The tepairs having been completed, the company thought them was • no impedi ment to their excursion,, but, to their great disappoint ment, were informed that the stock of coals was ex hausted. About ten o'clock a barge, laden with coals, tame alongside, and the company having enjoyed the pleasure oT witnessing the coals shovelled on board " the floating palace, and the dust arising from the operation, proceeded on her voyage ; but, in conse quence of the boiler not having been sufficiently le paired, she could not proceed farther than Greenwich, r lie:e she remained some time, and on the return of the tidr, carte to B ack wall by three o'clock in the morning, when the passengers (among whom were the plaintiff's wife and children) were obliged to go ashore. The plaintiff, and some of his party, anxious to get home, left the steam-boat off Greenwich, where they arrived about twelve o'clock, and were obliged to take a glass coach to London. 11r. Gummy, on the suggestion of the Lord Chief Justice, sub mitted to a verdict for the plaintiff, damages el. 175. 64. and obaerved;that he should advise his clients, if they should think fit to plan another excursion, to stipulate. that no attorney's clerk should be adidteed on board. (A laugh.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY St. THE RING v. NATHAN. Mr. HORACII Tvitss,la stating the case, said this was an information against the defendant, to recover from him the amount of a bond which he had entered into with the Lords of the Admiralty, in the penalty of 5001, for the faithful discharge of his trust as navy agent, and which trust he should be able to shew to the j•it.y had been in two instances basely violated. The ttelenddiA lived at Plymouth, and in the year 1823 re ceived a considerable sum of the Cayenne prize-money, to distribute among such as had established their claims, Among others James Daniel and Lionel Gouk were en titled titled to the sum of 551. each, which stints the defendant had received• from the Admiralty, but never paid to the 'Claimants; the defence, he understood, would be, that goods to that amount had been sold by him to the claimants. If the defendant could establish that to the satisfaction of the jury, it would be a sufficient answer; but if the jury were satisfied that any part of the prize money remained unpaid, they ought to give a ve r rdict for the Crown. Daniel was now dead, se that the evi dence on the part of the Admiralty would not be so strong as if be were alive. Some documents were put in to show the defendant bad received prise-money at the Admiralty for the persons above-mentioned. Henry Nathan (for the defence) deposed, that he was brother to the defendant, who keeps marine stores: he assived in his brother's shop ;recollected giving Lionel Gouk, in 1810, a gold brooch and some other trinkets, and in 1813 he also gave him a watch, chain and key. Witness did not know the value of them. John ltalnh lived at Plymouth in 1811, as navy agent. Knew Daniel, he was corporal in the marines. He re quested of him (witness) to call on defendant for his ac count, which he did accordingly. Witness brought the account to D tniel, it amounted to about 601. Da niel did not object to it, but said he believed it was all right. Lionel Gouk deposed that he applied in 1810 to de fendant to lend him some money ; defendant refused him, but said he might have goods. tie at that time te cei ved a gold brooch. In 1812, he applied again and received from him a silver watch; in 1815 he received a gold chain and key, which in all amounted, with what the defendant had subsequently given him, to 26/. , George Russell had a conversant* with the last witness in 1819. Gouk told him that he had then 401. which he had received from the defendant, and could have 1004 if be chose took for it. Mr. Pot.Locs addressed the jury for the defendant, and said there was sufficient evidence to spew that the defendant had given the claimants even !Lot e than their due: his client in coming to that court was influenced by pure and conscientious motives. Even if a verdict were given for him, he would lose more by the trial than the claimants required of him, as he could not re cover costs against the King; so that his principal ob ject in making a defence was, to clear his character from the imputation cast on it. The only evidence against him was Gouk, who had an interest in the result, being a claimant. Had he not sued through the intervention of the King, his testimony would not be admitted, and as it was in contradiction to that of disinterested and corroborated witnesses, he hoped the jury would not be influenced by it. __ _ Mr. Twin hiving replied, The LORD Cuter BARON, in addressing the jury, said,thdt if they believed the witnesses for the defendant, he was entitled to their verdict; for, if be gave an ade- quate compensation in goods, it was sufficient. They should leave out of their considemion the consequence arising from their verdict, as regarded the costs, and decide solely from the facts adduced in evidence. The Learned Judge reproboted the conduct of ti e defendant in making advances to sailors without any document or proof; it looked very suspicious, particularly at a 'time when it was uncertain whether they were entitled to prize•money or not; there were strong reasons to suspect that the goods advanced were overcharged. It the jury were satisfied that the defendant withheld even one shilling, the Crown was entitled to a verdict. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict fur the Crown. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Capel and Benjamin Pickering, two lads in the employ of Mr. Bestow, a silkman, in Wood -street, were charged under the following circumstances.—On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Bestow's ' brother missed his petty cash box, containing only a few shillings, front the warehouse, and inquiries being made, Cape', among others, ' ' positively denied having seen it. It was observed, however, that a boy who assists him had quitted work earlier than usual, and upon search being made for him, he was found waiting in the neighbour hood, and when questioned he admitted that Capel had given him some silver to take care of, and also two gloves containing some union cord. He also said he saw Cape! deposit the bete, broken up. between the wainscotting and wall of the house, by rendering a panel moveable. Upon this information Capel was given into custody, when he nut only admitted his guilt, bat implicated the other prisoner as participating in plundering their employer for a length of time. The movable panne!, and broken cash box were di covered ; and likewise, secreted under some waste ends of An ton*, several bobbins of silk, and he swore positively that henSw Pickering bide a bobbin of brown silk on Saturday morning in the place where that and the other bobbins were discovered.— Picker ing, without directly denying his guilt, relied on impugning the credit of the latter witness and bis fellow pri,,oner, they being, as he said, both thieves. Capri made no defence. Both committed fur trial. BOW-STREET. Yesterday, William Mier. the old man who stands charged with stabbing Thomas Westerford, a dyer in Hare -street, Bethnal-green, was brought up for final examination before Mr. HALLS. Westerford was able to attend and give evidence, though still weak from the effects of the wound. Ile stated that the prisoner. who is a weaver, lodged in the first floor in his house, and they had been good friends for some years, but latterly, in consequence of a quarrel between Mrs. Westerford and the prisoner's wife and daugh ters, there had been constant bickering., and a great deal of ill•nature 'hewn by the prisoner. On the evening of Saturday week, some angry words took place, and a neighbour named Barton called to witness to come away and take a draught of porter with him. He said he would, and was crossing to Barton's house, when the pri soner, who was just within the door of his (witness's) dwelling, called out ' 4 Westerford, I want to speak to you." The witness retutned to the passage, and the prisoner, without uttering a word, stabbed him with some sharp instrument in the left side. He called out, "Oh! I am murdered ! ' and fell down senseless, and he bad no knowledge of any thing eke that passed until be found himself in bed attended by a surgeon. John White corroborated part of this statement, and added, that when Westerford fell be heard the prisoner say, " I have done for the —; he will never say no more,-4 have killed bim." The prisoner ran down the cellar stairs and into a garden, whither be was followed, but the candle carried by one of the pursuers went out, and be escaped. Other witnesses proved that the prisoner surrendered himself the next day, at this office, making a declaration that he had " mur dered a man. " lie was then drunk, but was sober when he inflicted the wound. The prisoner denied that he had any intention to injure the pro sccutsar. lie was eating some food with a knife, and some words occurring. he struck Westerford, forgetting in the irritation of the moment that he had a weapon of any kind in his hand. This was positively denied by Waterford. Several persons who had known the prisoner taw 20 to 40 years described him as a man of remarkably mild and inoffensive dis position and possessing a very kind heart. These persons were told, however, that their testimony could only serve hint at the Old Bailey, where he must be sent to take his trial• The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 'Mr. newts Berry, who was taken into custody some days ago upon suspicion of having unlawfully disposed of a horse and gig, the property of a Lady named Lacbair, in Piccadilly, which she lent to him for a day's drive, but which he forgot to return, was ad mitted to bail on Thursday last, with a view to some arrangement with the prosecutrix, and yesterday was appointed for a anal hearing of the case. Mr. Berry yesterday appeared accordingly, but there was no person attended as a complainant, and be was discharged. It was understood that Mrs. Lachair had had her horse and gig restored to her. George Platford, a Gentleman's groom, appeared to prefer a complaint against a Gentleman residing in Chenies-street, Bedford Square, for assaulting him the night before in the street. The complainant said, that he was walking quietly along awnless street, about ten o'clock, with both his bands in his breeches pockets, thinking of nobody but himself, when, by some accsdent or another, he happened to swerve a little out of a straight line, and just at that moment the defendant, and a lady walking with bins, came towards him, and, in passing, he believed his elbow might possibly have touched the hem of the lady's garment, upon which the defendant, without further ceremony, turned about and knocked him down. He then called to the watch, and had the defendant takes to the watch-house; but the constable of the Right refused to talus the char Mger.. , Roe asked the defendant, who attended valuta* at the Bice, what he had to say to the chair. The Gentleman said, that the truth was, be and his wife were on their way home from the house of a friend, and jut within a few yards of their own door, the centplainant came staggering towards them, apparently quite intoxicated, but when he tame clos 1 in front of them, he put himself into a moat shameful and indecent attitude, not as he stated—having his hands in his pockets, but in another part of his dress, and at the same time he pushed up against his (defendant's) wife. Indignant at se gross and wanton an insult, lie did certainly turn round and knock the complainant down, which perhaps he was wrung in doing, by taking the law into his own hands. There were no witnesses to the transaction produced, except the' watchman, who saw very little of it, but he acknowledged that the complainant was three parts drunk. As, however, the assault was positively sworn to, and indeed admitted, Mr. Hoc seemed rather inclined to hold the defendant to bail, when, in order to clinch the matter, as he thought, the complainant, in a significant manner intimated to the Magistrate that he had once lived in the service of an wick of Mr. Rue's, naming the Gentleman. Mr. Roc, per ' fectly understanding the object of this intimation, said, "did you, indeed?" and immediately told the Gentleman that he was dis charged ; and informed the complainant that be was at liberty to indict at the Sessions, if he thought he could get any good by it.— The complainant, thunderstruck at this decision, in an agony of despair exclaimed, "'!'hat's pretty justice, indeed !" Mr. Hoz said, that he had not intended to notice the circumstance of the complainant being drunk, but he should certainly de so now. The night constable was then sworn, and said, that when the , complainant came to the watch house, he was so drunk that he' could not understand him, and he refused to take his charge. Mr. Roe now fined the complainant . ss. for being drunk, and ordered him to be locked up until he paid it; and not having the money with him, he was locked up accordingly in the strung dark room, where he had Ome to reflect on the uncertainty of all human speculations. The fine was, however, paid in the course of the day, and he was liberated. The Magistrate also told him, that bad the Lady appeared he would have held him to bail for pushing against her. WORSHIP STREET. Sanguel Szallard, a greengrocer, residing in Dorset Crescent, 1101: ton Town, was brought before the Magistrate yesterday, charged with bigamy. It appeared that the prisoner was married to his first wife in 1807, but in 1811 they separated, and his wife signed a written engagement not to interrupt or molest her husband on any future occasion. In 1324 the prisoner became acquainted with Elizabeth Lock, the second wife. She was then is a good situation in Bedford-row. and had saved about 1001. In money. She was married to the prisoner in June of that year. but about three months ago she found the first wife's written undertaking. and she also discovered that that woman was living. Being at the time iU treated by the prisoner, she left him on the 21st of March, upon an agreement that he should allow her ss. per week. The first wife, however, returned to the prisoner's house, and be did not keep his promise in paying the money.—The prisoner was remanded for a further examination. UNION-HALL. Yesterday, William Jilriel, a seaman belonging to an Indianan recently arrived from China, was brought before the sitting Magis trate, R. J. Omura% Esq. on a charge of having caused a dis turbance, while in a state of intraication, at the entrance into St. George's Church, Southwark. The defendant, who it appeared is an American, excited no small degree of astonishment in the office by the answers which he gave to the questions of the Magistrate. Wanbey, the street-keeper, stated that on Sunday afternoon the defendant, who was drunk at the time, endeavoured to make way into St. George's Church during divine service. He tried hard to accomplish this, and the disturbance that ensued interrupted the service. After a most vigorous resistance be was at length taken to the watchhouse. The Magistrate desired the defendant to account for such be. haviour? Jones said, that he bad just come ashore from the Yansittart East !Tllman and having had rather a rough, tempestuous, and long passage ante from China, he thought he might indulge in a bit of a spree when be landed. Mr. Clausen—But you should have kept away from the church when you were drunk, and not interrupted the service. Defendant-1 hope your Honour will excuse me this time.—l have fought hard for your King and Country as well as for my own Country. Mr. Cuanaras--What country do you belong to ; are you net an Englishman? Defendant.—" No, your Honour, I am a Yankee; I was bred and born in Charleston, but I have served in the British Navy as well as the American." Mr. Cnaaiseas expressed his surprise at this extraordinary de claration, and asked the defendant whether he had been in any en gagement while in the British service during the American war? The defendant, in reply, " I have, Sir, in many a one, and Insight as hard against my own country when I was in the English service, as ever 1 did against England when I was serving ander the Ame rican flag." Mr. CUAMIIIRS observed, that he must have very litde love for either his country or countrymen. The defendant, with the most perfect sang (raid. said, that he did not care one straw for what country be fought. The country that paid hint the best should have his services ; that was always his motto, he said, and if be got better wages from the Turks, the Greeks; or even the Burmese, he would quit the English, and vs over to the one that rewarded his services the best. Mr. CHAMIITSS then said. that he should fine the defendant five shillings to the King for being drunk, besides half a crown to the co:suable for bis trouble in taking bins to the watch-house. The defendant did not relish the idea of paying 'stoney for his spree, declaring that he had not a stiver about him, having spent all since he kft the ship. It was ascertained, however, that the vessel in which he arrived not having yet gone into dock, be was not entitled to his wages, therefore he was committed in default of payment of his fines. The populous town of Great Koroch, in litlOgary, has been nearly destroyed by fire. The Marquis of SALISBURY and Lord BIRRUORD, as Directors of the Fancy Ball at Covent-garden Theatre, have paid 50001. to the Committee for the relief of the Spitalfields Weavers. ST. Bainz's STRUM—The building forming the " St. Bride's Avenue," which affords a fine view of the above elegant structure (the work of the celebrated ar chitect, Sir CH RISTOPHIR Want), being at length com pleted, the passage was opened for the Ent time on Sun day, on which occasion a sermon was preached before the Loan MAYOR, Sheriffs, &c. for the benefit of the Charity Schools of the parish. Saturday, the Tenth Anniversary of the Medical Be nevolent Society, founded for the relief of the distressed memb rs of the profession, was celebrated at the Albion, Aldersgate-s . reet. His Royal Highness the Duke of Susses, Patron of the Society, in the Chair, supported by some of the most eminent Practitioners in Medicine and Surgery in the metropolis. In the course of the evening several liberal donations were announced, and Dew members proposed, and a very swisiactory report was made of the Society's funds. D')ctors LATHAM, MArow, CLUTTIHRUCK, BARINOToN, Messrs. TEGART, Fact), and other Gentlemen, addressed the Meeting on the best mode of promoting the benevolent object of the Society. It is the practice, it seems, for the salesmen of hay / in Whitechapel hay-market, to give a bonus to any one who brings a good round order, which bonus is very modestly added to the purchaser's bill. On Thursday, a knowing dog took advantage of this practice, to trick a number of salesmen out of a crown a piece. It is unnecessary to say, that the disappointment and chagrin of the carmen and their masters were not small, on driving home the hay, agreeably to direction, to find that no Monsieur Tonson lodged there. The same trick, with similar success, was played off on Friday, at the Borough hay-market. During the last week, a French General Officer, who had served under Buonaparte, visited Lancaster Castle, and previous to leaving it, he inquired of the turnkey if he could point out any one of the debtors who was realty unfortunate and deserving of assi.tance. The turnkey did so, upon which he inquired the amount of his debt, which was about 291. This paid into the bands of the gaoler • and the individual who received this marked act of benevolence succeeded In compro. rinsing the affair with his creditors for 6s. Bd. in the pound, leaving himself a handsome balance on his quitting the gaol. PUBLIC SALES. MAT 19.

The Grand Cordon of the Order of the Holy Ghost has been conferred, within these few days, by the King of FRANCE, on the Pi ince de POLIGN AC, his Ambassador to this,Court, as a reward of meritorious services and ,long-tried fidelity. HARAII or Tura Mootn..—As the climate obliges the ladies of the haram to wear only •ery light dresses, there are some manufactured of silk, of so fine a texture, that the whole dress does not weigh more than an ounce. They repose in these dresses, which they change in the morning, casting aside tie former as of no further use. Every day they assume a dress of a different c3lour. They are adorned besides with an immense quantity of jewels: the collar of their robe is bordered with two bands of diamonds, enchased its the centre of two rows of pearls, crossing upon the stomach. Their ear-rings and bracelets are of surprising beauty. Their fingers, and also their toes, which are bare (the feet being covered with sandals only), are ornamented equally with the most beautiful rings. All the wives of the Mogul, and all the Princesses his daughters, carry on the thumb of the right hand,•in the form of a ring, a small looking glass bordered with pearls. They cast their eyes incessantly upon this mirror ; it is with them the occupation of every moment. Their most becoming ornament is a golden girdle of the breadth of two fingers, enriched with jewels. Mantles of the same metal are suspended to it, sewn with diamonds, whose points are terminated by knots of pearls. What is very surprising is, that each of these ladies has a change of six or eight sets of these pearls. BIRTHS.
