Yesterday the Eiperime. tal Squadron ' under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Tit , 111 AS HARDY, rre. turned to this port, from their third and la.t cruise—' except the Tyne, which ship could not rejoin the aqua.; droll. The quadron left St. H lee's on he 24. h S !ember, bur returned in the evening ; they weighed again on the 28th, and stood out to sea. On each cc teflon the wind Was moderate. Of the 28's, the Tyne and Sapphire beat the Challenger ; the Columbine was sepetior to the rest of the squadron ; we cannot, how mr, place much importance on these days, as tides may have favoured one ship and not another. We, however, thought it necessary to ment'on them, inas much as these were the oily occasions on which the Tyne was present with the squadron.—Saturday. Sept. so—.At awing the wind was light, but afterwards blew half a gale. The Columbine bore up, through carrying away her iron garnmoning ; plevious to this she beat all the squadron. Acorn weathered the Satellite a quarter of a mile; Challenger and Wolf a mile: Alert five or six miles.—Friday, October 9th—Sailing two points free, under all possible sail. Columbine beat the Sapphire one mile, Satellite mile and a half, Alert and Wolf two miles, Challenger and Acorn two Miles and a quarter.—Saturday, October 6th—Close hauled, a calm, with occasional light winch. Columbine and Challenger. weathered thaWolf, Satellite, and Acorn, one third of a mile, Sapphire two-thirds, f a mile, Alert one mile.— Monday, October Bth—Close hauled, half a g.rle, with a heavy sea. The Acorn and Sapphire, when against the bead sea, beat all the squadron ; but on the other tack, when the wind lightened, 'and changed so as to bring the ships astern more to windward, Columbine weathered the Satellite half a rale, Accrn two-thirds of aside, Sapphire a mile-and a quarter, Challenger mile and three-quarters, Wolf and Alert four nti!es.— Wednesday, Oct. 10th: Close hauled, half a gale, with ahead sea. _The trial unexpectedly terminated, from , the Challenger carrying away her maintop-ma.t in tacking. While it continued, the Sapphire, Challenger, Col mbine, Acorn, and Satellite, were nearly equal ; but the Wolf and Alert were inferior to thertz—Tues day, Oct. 16th : Close hauled, half a gale, with a head sea. During tile trial, the weather became so thick that we cannot speak with certainty as to the result. However, the Satellite made signal that she weathered the Colum bine half a mile, and the Acorn that she weathered the Satellite three quarter of a mile. Before the weather became so thick these ships had beaten the Sapphire considerably ; the Alert and Wolf were hull down to leeward, The Challenger sprung her fore yard, and is, therefore, not included hi the trial. Previous to this a.- cident, she was beaten by the Colwanbine, Sapphire and Satellite. From the behavionr of the ships when stowed for Imeign service, it was evident that among the 28- gun frigates, the Sapphire bad decidedly the advan tage over the Challenger. Among the corvettes the Acorn, Satellite and Columbine, were equally superior to the Wolf and Alert. it is evidently unfair to rap et 'hat the 28's should beat the corvettes, on account of the additional deck and carronades, with their top hamper. We are only surprised that they should have beaten them on any occasion, except sailing free. We all know that fighting, as well as sailing, is an import. ant quality in a man of war ; it is rather singular that this indispensible quality should be generally over looked, when dwelling on the efficiency of ships. But as the ships are nearly useless to 'the country, if they are unable to fight their lee and weather guns in heavy weather, we shall briefly allude to this property of the reswls under consideration. On September 23, the Admiial made signal for the. squadron to fire their guns; it was blowing very fresh, but not pajtico lailY so, as the squadarn were carrying topgallant tails. The Acorn and Satellite fired with comparative eater and might have engaged an enemy if required, even under her heavy press of sail. The Alert, Chal lenger, and Wolf, could not fire with any effect:— The Columbine and Sapphire were not in company at the time ; we cannot therefore, speak from,ea- Petience of their capability of firing• in bad. wea- Ow. Any person, however, at all acquainted with. the subject, must b e aware. t h at t h e S app hi re, f rom ." n ' ti lle‘s, cannot be deficient in this respect; being m but that the Columbine, although very far from. only 3ft: from t h e water, clog crank, f ro the lowness of her ports, which are would, in a high sea, very 'hebly fail in this material quality. On the whole, A it fair to conclude, that the Acorn, Satellite, Sapphire, judging of their general qualities as men are among the finest ships of their respective in the British Navy; that 'the chief exception an the Columbine is the lowness of her guns; and Ina the Challenger, Tyne, and Wolf, deficient in city. - rine, 28, Captain J.

The plan supposed to be in contemplation, Is the employment of • the bee Mulling Captains on the Recruiting Service, as Subdivision Officers. This measure would in no way add to the public Zxpenditure, and thus would the Subalterns now employed on that duty, become .ffeetive with their Regiments. which is desirable from the limited number of Subalterns attached to the Depot Cumpantee.—Should this arrangement take place, the reward will be commensurate to their service,.

CHAIRMAN—II shall berectified, Sir, immediately— you shall have the use of the Committee Room. Beadle—There is a Committee now sitting, Sir.

Uw - ,~~ 'hi s wits a rrimtnal info, Motion, at the Mr. Charles lienty Hartshorn, against Eitidatd Shai kell, tlYe ptinter, publisher. and vile rtnotiet. hi the .Itrha weekly uewspamfor a lapel sahith appeared in that paper tyt the 14 , 1 of May, IBY6. The ATIVabIEY GastattaL said, the nature or t libel Narsuch, that the defendant must, if found guiltl, l be stibjecteii to the most rigorous and ignominiouc pun;shment ; for it was so at, ocious and malignant that.' the prosecutor would be excluded from all decent so• ciety if he did not clear himself its the fullest find amplest manner from the vile insinuation it conveyed ; and he (the Attorney (:eneial), therefore, felt most anxious to shew to the.Juiy that the prosecutor had lost no time in doing all that was possible to be done to, refute the imputation. In sdnducting the caseit wool& -be hardly possible to avoid al II ling to certain insinua tions which had been, although in all probability most undesetvedly, made against another gentleman, not 'withstanding the reluctance he felt to do so; for he ,should not consider that he had the feelings of a. man if he were to lend himself to the support of those infa mous slanders which the worst part of thepress were so ready to propagate again.; honourable men, who vrerroftenieft without redress. The prosecutor, who was the son of a clergyman, was very young,just enter ing upon life, and would shortly be in holy orders Hi - 1)0 been brought op at &trewsbury, under Dr. Butler. :Whilst at that school, he WAS introduced to the late - Member for the University of Oxford, Mr. Heber, a gentletnan of great literary attainments, whose acquits , . lance wax esteemed an honour by all who enjoin(' it, however high their stations and splendid their ta. lents. Ile (the Attorney Genera') had had the honour of being reckoned among Mr. Heber's friends; wi— lily shculd he conceal it?—he had reckoned it `as one of the hi,liest distinctions of his life.* !The prosecutor etas recomo ended to cultivate Mr. 4 Heber 's acquaintance, and whilst at Dr. Butler's school, ; addressed to him a copy of Latin verses, with which he was so much pleased th:l he invited the young author to his house, where he afterwards became a frequent guest; and was in consequence introduced to the very best society. M. Heber went abroad in the summer - of 1825. T, e prosecutor was not aware of his going, agd in common with his other friends, expected that I.e owould shortly return; but Mr. Heber remained abroad, where he sttil was. Shortly after his departure, various rumours arose respecting the cause of his, absence, and as it was announced that it was not his intention to offer himself again at the approaching general election to the Diversity of Oxford as a candidate for their represent., ration, dark insinuations and whispers were made that there existed very sufficient reasons for his continued' absence. All he (the Attorney General) knew upon the. subject was, that Mr. Heber did go abroad, and had not .returned. some time after his departure, the Earl of. Guildford, who would, had he been now al ye, havel retest his evidence, invited the prosecutor to accompany trim in a tour upon the Continent. The proposal was accepted, and they accordingly went to Naples, Greece,' : Asia Minor, and the lonian Islands. On their way home his L"rdship was obliged, on account of busi— ness, to hurry his return, and he therefore left the . ' prosecutor at Lucca, and it was in this place that ' he received a letter from a friend in England (Dr. Dibdin) which he must have read with amaze ment and bourn. The clOctor enclosed to him the John Buil newspaper, containing the libel,. which con veyed so abominable an insinuation against- his moral character, that had there been the slightest foundation , for it he would have deserved to have-been an outcast , from all society. With every proper and manly feeling he immediately set out for England, travelling night and day until he arrived in Loncion,.where he lost no time in laying the matter before his friends, and he has since acted under their advice. He wrote a letter to Mr Heber, inquiring the cause of his absence from this country ? That correspondence was not connecte,l with the prosecution, but it was due to Mr. Heber to state, that in his answer to the prosecutor that gentleman treated with disdain tine insinuations made against him. There was reason to believe that the defendant, altho' he appeared to be the sole proprietor of the newspaper, was but the tool of other people. However that might be, he was the person legally ans.. erable, and he (the Attorney General) would now call the attention of the Jury. to the publications. The first appeared in the John Bull of the 7th day of May, 1826. It was this: —" Mr. Heber will not return to England for some time, as the backwardness of the season in this country, tenders the climate on the continent more congenial to some constitutions."—ln the nest pa- per, of the 14th of May, appeared the libel upon the prosectftor. It was generally known that the ptosecu tor had been introduced to Mr. Heber. The libel ran thus: 4 4 Mr. Heber's complaint, for which he is recom mended to travel, is said to have been pioduced by an over-addiction to ' has tihorn." The last word was printed, in capitals, so- as to show that a proper name . was meant. Thus this young man, just rising into life, was tohave his character destroyed by the stroke of a pea, to gratify the wantonness of a newspaper writer, l is m der to please those who seek to feed their depraved and pampered appetites upon gross and licentious abuse. He (the Attotney.Get.eia.) wiphed he could say - that Done of the members cf . the Church read this newspap. r ; 'but lie feared the fact was tar otherwise, for he believed it was ray generally read at both the Universities He 'kutd never ilattered.the press, and be never 'woulffilatter it; but he was aware of its power : it was like a great giant—it could amuse itself with anat. - inning the body took in hand - -it could destroy life itself as well as reputation ;- its pnwer . -rnight bt exercised with the ma lice and wanton caieles-ness of a malignant demon; it might take awry character by a single exptession htit- Itea as a mere matter of wit and merriment.. Its re isponsibili.y ought to beheld with' a tight hand by both. rJedge and Jiry ; theie was no occasion forany 'other; controul over it ; but; unless it• wese so held, the - time Would come when it would destroy ieself—when man kind wou!d rise in their owe defence, and shake off its. tyEanny. It was not to be endured that feelings should be.torusred and characters smiled awarviith impunity;, The wantonly wicked insinuation had produced a ft 1. ing amongst seme.ciiihe prosecutor's triendsith it there was still something resting about the character of .tblis young man which vropld .not make .him . a desirable companim. This,effect had been produced by the in a newspaper eitiulated at both of our •Uoiver%ities, upon the character ofe young Hentleman about to take holy orders; it had lx-io produced for tbe amusement ! it Mr. &icket', or ofthe person, whoever. he might be, who was the author of the lbel. No judgment could be top ievere if the July found, the defendant guilty. Tlie proof that the defendant was the printer, rib lisher .and proptistor of the John: Bitli new ! paper, was regtitily made, and the two papers of the 7(4 ,aniPic.b. of May, IBt6, were produced, and the libels read.... ; • JJtin examined by Mr. BARMISIALL, sa id, that he lived in the service of Mr. Heber, at Hartnett- ~' ,-~` . • ,-, ' ~- :; .. • 0 le , :: •: ~ .It-- . _ . .'• . . .`". • : • 4.
