MEDICO-BOTANICAL SOCIETY. Tuesday night a Meeting of this Society was held their room in Subtitle -street, the President In the Chair. The Minutes of the last Meeting having been rend, various pre-' seats received by the Society announced. and some other formal business gone through— The Paxson: (Lord Stanhope) said that he felt great pleasure ionaussmanicating to the Society, a letter which he had remixeffi from Mr. Frost duce the last meeting; it was dated January 25, 1530, aid, with their permission, he would read it. His Lord. ship then read as follows : "•29, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, he. IL beg leave to•request the favour of your communicating to the Council of the 31edico.Botankal Society, to-morrow, my intention of delivering up at its meeting at one o'clock (to-morrow, Tuesday, the 26th instant), the Signature Book, Herbaria, Li brary, Official Seal, and all the other property in my possession or power belonging to the Medico-Botanical Society. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble Servant, . (Signed) " JOHN FROST. To Humphrey Gibbs, Esq. F.H.S. Secretary to the Medico-Botanical Society." Conformably with the undertaking contained in that letter, Mr. Frost attended the Council which met that day, and delivered up the signature book, the official seal of the Society, and the chain and medal which the Chairman usually wore at the Meetings 'lle ether articles -which be had undertaken to surrender, bet which were too bulky to be brought with him that day. he pro mised shOuld be put into the possession of the Treasurer sod the Conservator on Friday neat ; the books into the hands of the former officer acting for the Librarian, who unfortunately was still de tainedin the country; and the papers and muniments of the So ciety Into the hands of the latter. This announcement could not but be most gratifying to every member of the Society, and to himself in particular, salt happily rendered unnecessary any further proceedings with referee= to Mr. Frost. Nothing could be more gratifying to the Society at large, and to the Council, and to hint self as an individual, than that those proceedings being unnecessary, should be abandoned. Accordingly, as they were to be given up, he would not advert to recent transactions, feeling assured that the Society would do him the justice to believe, that the part which be took was solely dictatud by a answer the duties belonging to the high end honourable office they had been pleased to confer upon him ; he would not enter into any vindication of his own conduct; and whatever pan other members of that Society had taken in the late differences and disputes, be was sure they would give him credit for perfect sincerity when be expressed his full persuasion of their having been actuated by the best motives. All men were liable to f-em different opinions on the same subjects; and for his own part, be begged to assure tbem,that be felt no ill will towards any member of the Society, nor even coldness; and if any gentle n, on the day of the Anniversary, lost his way in coming to the Meeting, and strayed towards the Crown and Anchor, he (Lord S,) was willing to attribute it to the fog—(A laugh.) They were all aware that, in public life. be bad not pursued the path of :siltation, nor sought for places of profit or honour . ; but be etat• (rued that, while there, he had the ambition of presiding over a united and prosperous Society, pursuing greet and beneficial objects. He expected that those would be the last words which Fe should have to address to them on the painful subject ARM lei and that in future they would be found nuked under the limner ot. science, pursuing great objects lea manner calculated to rise the character of the Society, and to prove a source of honour and re putation to all of them. The ordinary business of the Society was then resumed. and all matters seemed to proceed u if the circumstances of Mr. Frost's conduct had never been brought under consideration. COFFEE-HO USES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Si a—Among all the benefits resulting from the freedom of the press, and the talent and vigilance with which it is conducted, there are none greater than those which arise from exposing oppression, and pointing out abuses from whatever source they may spring ; for infor mation is the surest way to put the public in possession of the means to avert the consequences of innocently falling under the operation of severe restrictions and or dinances, at least of doing so unawares, and if the removal of obnoxious powers cannot be promptly effected, their exposure may lead to their ultimate annihilation, as monsters must first be ousted from dens of darkness be fore they can be pursued to destruction. Our penal statutes, numerous and severe as they are, seem to require some notice from the press ; especially as they are so little known and so variously administered, some good might arise if the lucid influence of your stellar ray were cast a little upon this subject; some of those enactments lie hidden in obscurity, yet like serpents they bite, and like them their bite is often incurable: let the ethereal touch of an enlightening press prick them with its spear and their deformity shall be apparent, their * existence con damned, all their mischief prevented. To justify these remarks, I would refer you to a case reported in your paper of Saturday the 23d instant, which occurred .a.t Marlborough-street, where a very industrious, honest, and respectable householder, was fined five pounds fur haviiig sold a cup of coffee with a cigar before six o'clock in the morning of Friday the 22d ; and to the remon strances of the Solicitor of the accused, Mr. CON ANT TA plied, that he could have fined him in ten pounds ! and this, too, when the individual appeared to prefer a charge against a person who had wantonly destroyed the brass guard of his glass-door light. By reference to the Act, it appears, that a merciful magistrate could have fined ' him in the sum of one pound only ; and, as the party was evidently ignorant of having transgressed any known law,,perhaps the conduct Of the magistrates of Worship street, as exemplified in a case repeated the same day, might have been adopted with as much satibfaction to tho public. I write these remarks with your excellent Journal be fore me, which I, as well as scores of persons beside, seed.overy evening with great pleasure at the Divan, kept by the individual whose case I mention, and spinet aOhola the accusation of a soi-disast respectable neigh bour, will soon be proved false and malignant. I am, Sir, your's, A LOYAL SUBJECT. P. S. In your report you say it should be £5. -- Mr. %TRULY FITZGERALD was rather better yesteulay.

This action was tried ■ few days since at Guildhall, before Lord Tasrmaeas. It was brought to recover the sum of £3OOO, which the plaintiff had lent as a respondentla hood, and the Jury then re. turned a verdict for the plaintiff; thereby finding that the reopen demi& bond was a valid security for the money. Mr. Baouonut now applied for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted and the verdict set aside. He moved on two grounds; the first was, that the transaction under which the respondetnia bond was given was not of the nature Ti. golfed by the Act of Parliament, which gave peculiar direction. u to the granting of bonds of this description; therefore the bond was illegal, as it did not coincide with those directions; and the second was, that the Learned Judge, in summing up the evidence, misdi rected the Jury. The Cocas was of opinion that the case had been properly db. posed of. To the first objection it was decided that the Court were the proper judges of the nature of the transaction ; and to the se cond objection it was thought that the Learned Judge who tried the cause bad properly left the case to the Jury ; they therefore saw no reason to disturb the verdiet.--Rele refused. ITAIICILUIT •TT AMU= V. VUITTON. Mr. Joust WILLIAMS moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict obtained in this ease should not be set aside. It was an action tried before Lord Termites at Guildhan, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff, damages to be settled oat of Conn. The action arose under the following circumstances:—ln 11124, the plaintiff• were in partnership, and about the end of that year they bad a distress put into their premises for rent. The person exe cuting the warrant of distr.:se, having exceeded his duty, they em ployed the defeadant, who is • solicitor, to bring so action against him for an excessive distress, in which action they obtained a verdict, with MOO damages. Four yens after this trial the plain tiffs commenced an action against the defendant, in which they charge him with withho'ding part of the money received in the former action • and the Jury, under, as he )dr. Williams) sub adtted, the misdirection of the Le ar ned Judge, found a ver dict in their favour. Now nothing could be so important to a person in the defendant's situation of life, as to clear his character from such a charge; sod be therefore trusted the Court would give him an opportunity of so doing by venting • new trial. He was prepared with proof, that for tour years after the fast action was brought, am a word had ever been uttered about the defendant keeping part of the damages and costs, and also that the plaintiffs had during that time been in the greatest distress, and frequently solicited a shilling at a time from the defendant's clerk.; and Lord Tenratusen—You have stated enough Wean* you to a role.—Wk granted. Alter the Almoner Gammas bad moved in a nee of no public interest, the Leaned Conner' asked the favour of the Court to make another motion immediately. Lord Timmons—We cannot, I think, depart from the usual cottons, Mr. Attorney. The Aerially: Gasomax—lt win be very inconvenient for me to wait instil the bar has been gone through. Lord Tarries:3l—i am sorry for that, but unless public business calls you away, I think your request cannot be complied with.— His Lordship then called ou Mr. Campbell to move, and the Attorney General sat down. COURT OF COMMON PLICAB, Jan g 7. TAM ATIYA MUM. OSOMPANIN V. 1110014 Mr. Segeant Wu.na applied to the Court to have the verdict in this case increased from £1,045 to £1,1115. Tin Learned Sergeant stated, that the plaintiff had been engaged in this COam try, by the Directon of the above Company, to proceed to Banos Ayres for three yiers, at • salary of £6OO foe the brat year, with an increase of Shy pounds fur every year afterwards, and his expenses were alto to be paid out and back ; and it was don .agreed, that if the undertaking did not succeed, the plaintiff was to have twelve months' Notice. or one year's salary, which was to be paid to hint in South America, in Spanish dollars • or, should the plaintiff think St. a panel the salary would be paid.

Mr. Rata Neonates, a coal merchant, of Bedfordplace, Com mercial-road Saw, was charged by two coal.wkippers, under the statute of the 14th of Geo. 111. with not having complied with it. provisions, M not paying the informants in due time, by which h.! bad subjected Mundt to a penalty of 201. It appeared that, on the 26th of Dec. the complainants were employed by the defendant iu clearing a cargo of Welch coal from the Pedestrian. This work they performed, and applied foe payment, but were not paid in due time, before seven o'clock in the evening, as stipulated by the Act. MG &LIMNS said a conviction must follow • if, however, there was any doubt as to the correctness of his decision, he trusted that an appeal would be made against it. There was an option in the Magistrates to mitigate the penalty, and, under all the eluvial stances, he should reduce it to £lO. Mr. - Stephenson then said be trusted that two other informations would not be proceeded im the more especially if be undertook that so appeal should be made. It was ultimately agreed that, in addition to the gag penalty upon the first information, 4:5 should be paid upon the two infor mations withdrawn. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. It is our painful task to record a most melancholy and awfid accident, attended with the loss of three lives. On Friday last, about the boor of ten at nigbt, cries for help were beard on the beach at Stamens, whlcb, after cautioning a short time. ceased ; all was again still, and no further notice taken of the circumstance. On the following morning abort nine o'clock, something wearing a strange appearance, was observed full a half mile from the shore; Immediately boats were procured and pet off for the purpose of ascertaining what it could be; so their arrival they found a chaise and two bones swamp:. The people immediately set to work to extricate the chaise, sod on opening the blinds (all of which were shut.) tthey were borroswartsck on finding it contain the bodies of two wall dressed men !
