COURT M A RTIAL -mi.- PORTSMOUTH, JANIMAT 24. A Court•Martrel assembled on board his Majesty's ship Victory, on the 19th, and continued sitting until y a it. ra .? ►our o'clock this afternoon. for the purpose of trying Captain Chapman. of his Majsty's ship A riadne, on nine allegations, set forth by Mr. M•Coy, late Purser of the Espiegle, to the NAVY Board, as reasons for his refusing to sign Captain Chapman's certificate on his leaving the Espiegletojni.i t'te Ar arsine ; also %heist at 'Lineal:int., on the coast of A►tica, he, Ca, tain Chapman, did purchase a fern 41e slave, which slave he kept on board fo► a fortnight, and whilst the Espiegle was laying at Mambas, the said slave unaccountibly dis aopeared. The e Court consisted of Bear Admiral Gage, President; P. Campbell, CB. Sir M. Seymour, G.C.11. Bart. Henry lu ll,• Frederick Warren; Charles Ingle.; C. Carroll, C. B. Lockyer, C. B. F. ilunn, and the Itniourable Saunders Dundee. Moses Greet ham, Judge Advocate. The first day was taken up in the examinalon of Mr. NI.( •, who was cios-questioned by the prisoner (Captain Chapman), assisted by Mr. Niinchin, an Able Counsellor; after that Mr. M'Coy became prosecutor, which was a difficult undertaking; he, however, in• stantly commenced, and got through wi h the exami nAtion of all the witnesses for the nine allegations by Saturday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, when he craved the indulgence of the Court until Monday morning to enter on the important charge (purchase of the ,iatec) it, contequence of indisposition, which time was gratite. l . _ _ _ 'l'tie C urt accordingly assembled at nine o'clock on _Monday, the whole of which day was taken up in the a zarnina i“n of the surgeon, Mr. Hoggan, of the Ariadrie, then in the Espiegle ; Lieutenant Marsh. the First Lieutenant; the Captain's Cosswaio ; and John Kite, the Captain's servant, who fully proving the pur chase of a young gi l for thirty dollars, by Captain Chapman, and brought on board by the Vice-Consul, and an Arab armed with a sword. The psosecution closed yesterday, when Captain Chapman requested to be allowed two days to prepare his d fence, hut the Court considered the length of time the Court had already been taken up, and during those evenings he haJ had considerable time to prepare a part of the defence, declined granting longer than eleven o'clock this mooing, if that would suit the psi oner, who stated he was satisfied, and would endeavour to be ready. At ef-ven o'clock the Court opened, which was in an instant crowded to suffocation, and at the request of Captain Chapman, his professional friend, Mr. M nchin, was allov ed to read his defence, and we must do Mr. Alinchin the justice to say he acquitted himself with the greatest satisfaction. Ile went into all the detail of evidence, and dii not fail to point out every little cit cumstance which fright in any way turn in favour of the prisoner. Captain Chapman declined calling in any witnesses, and threw himself on the mercy of the Court, which, after a most patient investigation and three hours' consultation, came to this opinion and de cision, that five.of the allegations had been proved, but the Captain was justified in consequence of his orders; two not proved, and two found frivolous and vexatious; and that the charge of the purchase of the female slave was fully proved, but the Court felt satisfied she had swam hem the ship at Mombas and made her escape. The Court, thetefore, adjudged the said Captain J. F. Chapman to be dismissed horn his Majesty's service, and he was dismissed accordingly. The Court broke up soon after four o'clock. Captain Carroll, C.B. one cf the Members, spoke highly in favour of the prisoner as a brave, good Offi cer, and many letters from Officers, all went to prove this to have been his general character previous to this sad affair. Wednesday, sailed his Majesty's ship Trims, from Portsmouth, for the West Indies. The Bank of Messrs. GINSINS, EATON, and Co. of the Ilay, Hereford, commenced paying their notes Tuesday.

Homewood, Poytnn, Wallis, Harris, and others. forming the deputationappointeJ to present to .the Board of Trade the petition agreed to at the meeting held last week of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, had an audience of the Board, which lasted upwards of two hours. The Members of the Board present on this occasion were, Mr. Bowsaw; (Chancellor of the Exchequer), Mr. HUSRIsSON, and Mr. GRANT. The petition, which prayed that " the Honourable Board would devise some means to avert the distress that has overtaken th. numerous persons engaged in the silk-trade," in consequence of the repeal of the prohi bitory system, having been read, the deputation re quested to know what answer they should return to their constituents? Mr. HusittssoN, in reply, stated at some length the reasons by which he felt compelled to adhere to the de termination of throwing the trade open under the pro tecting duty cf 30 per Cent. provided by the late Act ~ f Repeal. He admitted that the existing distress in the silk-tra 'e (wi►ich he sincetely lamented) was, in a considerable measure, owing to the expected importa tion of foreign bi k s ; but thought that it was to be as crihed in a still greater degree to the excessive specula. lions in which the silk manufacturers had recently in du►lged. He felt quite assured, at all events, that the introducti , tn of a free syst.m would ultimately he at• tended with the g►eatest benefit,not only to the country at large, but more particularly to t' e silk-weavers them selves. He was by no means, however, so wedded to his opinions as not to rent tunce them willingly, if they could be proved to be erroneous ; and he could assure the de putation, that it they would only convince him of the :•rt'priety of retracing his steps, no false notion of con sistency shoul I prevent him from being the first to go before Parliament, and move for the continuance t.l the prohibitory system. In the mean time he was sorry to say, that w.th the views he had n the subject, lie could not give the deputation any hope that (i►ve?u ment would in ertere in the matter of the r petition. The distress which the silk weavers experienced was hut a temporary evil, that must be borne. Neither were they the only distre.sed class in the community ; many other classes—the cotton-spinner, in particular—being in a stale of Nearly equal suffering, in consequence 01 the generally depressed condition of manufactures and commerce at the prese t moment. Mr. Hostewoon. Mr. Porrox, and Mr. WALLIS, severally addrebsed the Board in support of their peti tion. /laving urged particularly, the advantage which the foreign silk weaver has over the English one, in consequence of food and everything else being s:► much cheaper, and taxes so much lighter, abroad, Tre CHANCCLLOR of the EACHLHUER remarked, that the deputation, as well as other people, were very much mistaken on these points; for that the French workmen have heavy taxes to pay as well as ours have, and find it nearly as hard a task to live upon their earnings as ours do. The deputation confessed that on all these points they entertained, in common with the public, very different notions ; and that, as regards both the prices of provi sions and house rest in France, they were sure it could be easily demonstrated that the foreign workman had eminently the advantage. The CHANCELLOR Ot the EXCHEQUER and Mr. Hus- IL tssou joined in replying, that they toad given t e whol mattcr the fullest consideration, and viewed the orra tin f the new law in etery possible shape; and that after all they had heard, their opinions were unchanged. Mr. Hostawoon—What answer, then, dyne please, Gentlemen, Mall we take back to our constituents ? Are we to understand that Government can afford us no bop* of relief? Mr. Hosusson—You will please just to report faithfully what has now passed between yourselves and the Board. Monday se'nnight, the Earl and Countess of GALLO swim left Galloway House, in Scotland, for London, with the prayers of the poor, and the wishes of all classes for their speedy return. The Constitmtio mod mentions, that a College of Jesuits is established at Brigg, in the Valais, that it is attended by one hundred French youth, and that the son of M. Counmorstan, the Attorney-General of the Royal Court of Lyons, had lately escaped from the discipline of its Reverend Fathers, and after various adventures had arrived at Geneva in rags. The Alissoloaghi Gaieties, No. 9d to 94, inclusive, have been received. The last number, which is dated the 2.1 December, contains, among other intelligence, the lollowing paragraph Our fleet is sailing be tween the Scropades and Cephalonia, and that oldie enemy between Chiarenza and Zante." On inspection of a map it will be seen that Missolonghi is not block. aded by sea—a proof of which is the very circumstance of our receiving the papers. Letters from Liverpool, dated Tuesday evening, an nounce the stoppage that morning of the banking-house of Mr. Joszpir Hanwem. This event had caused con siderable sensation in the town. A great number of tradesmen were in ihe habit of keeping cash in Mr. HADWEN'II bank, and it is feared that the stoppage will be productive of much embarrassment. A very tavour able statement of the affairs of the bank was exts bited, and strong hopes are entertained, that Mr. HADWLN will be enabled to meet all his engagements with his creditors. The immediate cause of the stoppage is the failure of some houses exclusively engaged in the hide trade, and the apprehension of the failure of others in the same line of business. The Booksellers' Club, which is held at the Albion, and consists of the oldest and most respectable persons in the trade, has never since its first establishment, about twenty years ago, to this day, ever had a single failure out of their whole number. No fact can speak more decisively than this.—Brilish Press. •, LAW iibititt . . • • , . . • int cdictira - • . . .

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J•trvaT COLEMAN V. snaMoNDS. Mr. BIOVOHAM moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict obtained for the defendant should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The cause was tried at the Sittings after last Term, and was an action to recover on a bill of exchange. The defence made out was usury, and it appeared that a foreigner named De Lisle was concerned in this transaction, together with taylor named Meago, who had endorsed the bill, and one Coates, a draper and mercer in St. Martin's-lane. The Learned Counsel now read an affidavit on the part of the plaintiff, stating that Coates had declared there was no usury in the transaction, and that he (the plain tiff) had given a valuable consideration for the bill, and knew nothing whatever of any illegality with respect to it, as it had come into his bands in the ordi nary course of business. lite Coons. refused the rule. and said that if the plaintiff bail given a valuable consideration for the bill, he had his action against Meago, the person by whom it was endorsed to !Auk refused. WOOD V. WOOLER. This was an action against Mr. T. J. Wooler, whose name has often been before the public, for the amount of a bill for printing . a work called Th e Me c h an i cs ' Chronicle. At the tr ial before the Lord Chief Justice. in Middlesex, the defence relied on was, that the plaintiff was in partnership with a person named Keen. In , support of thii, evidence was given of payments made by checks, in the name of Keen and Wood, and of tiansactions in which both acted ; but Mr. Keen denied a general partnership, or a partnership in the subject nutter of the cause. The Lord Chief Justice left the case to the Jury on the question of partnership, and they returned a verdict for the defendant. Mr. KELLY moved for a new trial, on the ground that the Chief Just.ce should have informed the Jury that the plaintiff might be in partnership with Mr. Keen, in particular works, and yet not his general partner ; or that Mr. Keen might be a dorthant partner, in either of which cases Mr. Wood might sue alone. The Coeur thought the evidence fully supported the verdict, and refused to disturb it. Tilt KING W. LISTER. This was a proceeding by scire facia', at the snit of the Crown, calling upon the defendant to chew cause why a patent granted to him for the improvement of the manufacture of wool by means of machinery should not be repealed. Tne cause was tried last week before Mr. Justice BAYLEY, and a verdict found for the Crown. Mr. GURNEY, for the defendant, now moved to set aside this verdict, on the ground that the Learned Judge laboured under a misapprehension, on the trial, of the facts of the case. The Lesrned Counsel observed, that another patent, something similar to the one in question, had been previ .usly granted to a Mr. Hadden, but had only been used by Lim in Glasgow; and althou 4 h the patent in question was found.fd on that of Mr. Mad den, still there were certain alterations and improve ments which in fact made it a new invention. The LORD CHIRP JUSTICR wits of opinion, that the specifications of the two patents were so similar, that they could only be looked upon as one and the same invention. The view which the Learned Judge took of the case at the trial, was therefore right, and the verdict ought not to be disturbed.—Rule refused. THE ICING U. JOHN STAMP SUTTON COMM Mr. TAUNTON appeared to shew cause against a rule for teipi!ing judgment tint the verdict of guilty, ob tained in this case against the above defendant, who to-d.sy appeared on the floor of the Court. The objection to the conviction was, that the defendant had been found guilty by the Jury, of consp ring together with Richard &Afford Cooke, and which latter defendant had plea ed in abatement, but had never been tiled. Mr. Canvases was heard at considerable length in support of the rule to arrest Judgment. The Comm atter ►earing the point of law argued, were of opinion the rule fur arresting the Judgment most be discharged. blr. Tautrunt thee muted the Judgment of the Court on the defendant. The LoaD Cum" Jurrict—Do you desire to suspend the Judgment some time longer? Mr. CAmeam.i. said, he was not instructed to make an applica tion having that object. The Loan CrissJusescs—lt is a matter fur your consider. ation, and we will give you time to consider what you will do. Let the defendant be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marsha'sea. The defendant was tbeu taken out of Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JANUARY SS. PULPING AT SALES ST •UCTION.—CROWDER V. AUSTIbi. This was An action brought by the plaintiff, an emi sent solicitor, against the defendant, a horse-dealer, to recover the price of a horse sold to him at Aldridge's Repository, for 201. The cause waii tried before the Chief Justice daring the last Term, at Guildhall. At the trial, it appeared' in evidence, that the groom of the plaintiff attended the sale in the character of a puffer; with exception of the defendant, the highest bidding, bona fide, was 221. Undir the dilation of the Learned Judge, the plaintiff WAS nonsuited, on the ground of fraud, as the conditions of ale stated, that .. the highest bidder should be the' purchaser;" and it also appeared, that the groom had told the defendant that the horse was sound, except a crack in the heel. Mr. Serjearit WILDS moved the Court to set aside the nonsuit, arguing that in point of law there was no fraud, and that in fact a Court of Equity would comrel the completion of the purchase, but, unfortunately, equity was a commodity too dear fur the occasion._ The oractice of puffing, he held, was notorious, and if to puff was to c.,rninit a fraud, it would reduce every sort of public sale to a" Dutch Auction," which began at a high piece, and gradually reduced till a purchaser was found. The Learned Counsel quoted the case of Howard and Castle, 6 Term Reports, 642, and also the very elaborate opin oa of Lord Rosslyn, who had put the case of the property of infants, bein4 valued by Trustees, and afterwards sold by auction; if such pro perty could not be protected by being bid for by the seller, the property might be sacrificed ; and also al luded to the 17th Geo.lll. c. 50, s. 10. which gave the bonus of the duty where property was bought in; from ;Ara if UI faii to ;titer tilt the re . tistaiiiie gothied - bidtl;ngrb7ifirielki.. l :::7-z • Tlin COVET, under all the Elreamit anees , gianted *kiln impressed ther opinion that the point had been cineill settled . bf Lurd Mansfield and Lord Kenyon. sHaiturrs COURT,.

COURT OF COMPENSATION, 3 -Ail/AST U. Yesterday, a Court of Compensation was held at the Town Hall, Southwark, for the purpose of deciding Oa the claims of those whlse premises have .b-en polled 'dowu for the erection of the new London Bridge.' The housesl'or•-which compensation was claimed, were Nos, 314 anl - 315, in High street, in the Borough, and two tenements in the rear, situated in Pepper•alley. The City had offered 2 5001. for the interest of the whole property, and it was stated that more substantial pre. mises could be purcuased for less money. Three stnr veyers said, t'ley It.td been over the premises, aod va• lued them at 2,3501. Bat on the part of the claimants, tour Surveyors were called, and they proved that the lowest v4lue of the premises was 3,3001. ind they varied from that sum to 3,7001. The Jury, however, returned with a verdict of 2,6001. for the claimants. EAST INDIA HOUSE. An adjourned General Court of Proprietors of East India Stith was held yesterday, at the Company's Home, in Leadenhall-street. LORD AIIHRRST. In answer to a questioo from the Hon. Locums Scainsers, The CSIAIILKAII stated. that no proposition for the recall of Lopl Amherst, and the appointment of the Marquis of Hastings, or the Marquis Wellesley, to the situation of Governor-General of India, bad been made to, or entertained by, the Court of Directors. RUDE PAPERS. A letter from Sir John Doyle to the Court of Directors, request ing that they would postpone, to a future day, the consideration of the Dude papers, as he was, from illness, unable to attend for the purpose of bringing forward his promised motion, was read. Mr. Home moved that the discussion be postponed to this day fortnight —The motion was agreed to. INSTRUCTION IN HINDOOSTANBIL Mr. HUMS, in a speech of great length, dweribed the ignorance of the Hindoostanee language which al. most universally prevails amongst European officers is India. He described the evil consequence which that ignorance must of necessity produce, and pointed oat the inonence advantage which would result from mak ing it a sine quo non, that all cadets going out to India, should undeige an examination, and prove that they were instructed, to a certain extent in that language, before their appointment was made out. No less than 217,0001. had been expended on Hailebury College, and these was, on an average, 53,000/. per annum et pended in India, on the education Of their civil servants. Now it was equally important that their military ser vants should also be educated ; and he would wader. take, fur 5001. to instruct all the Cadets, who were an nually sent out to India, in the Hindoostanee language. In conclusion, the Hon. Proprietor moved a resolution, recommending to the Cosa of Directors to take the subject of imparting a knowledge of Hindoostanee to the Company's Cadets, into their most amities con sideration. Dr. OmenMs: seconded the motion. • Sir J. &weld. stated his conviction, that the Direetnrs4ifoald of their own free will, do everything that was necessary. Mr. RANDLI JACKSON, Mr. S. DIZON, and Mr. Wins 44 a few words in opposition to the motion. Captain 3laxwitt.t. and Sir C. FORM supported the motion. the De f uty Chairman (Sir G. ROBINSON), had lit. tened very attentively to all that had fallen in the course of the debate, and would conk ss, that it ap peared to him that the advantages proposed to be derived from such a measure were greatly overbalanced by the disadvantages. He gave credit to the Honour able Mover for the best mo ives: but it certainly appeared strange, that all his speech seem d to be for the purpo.e of tecomm r.ding one individual to the notice of the Court. After a short desultory conversation, the motion was pot and negatived by a considerable majority. Mr. Hums then made a series of motions for paper., Stu all tending to the sante point, but they wire all uniformly rejected by the Court. We have received pipers and letters from Buenos Apes, to the 10th of November. A decree pissed the Congress of the Rio de la Plata federation on .the-.27:b of October, authorising the national Goveinment to negotiate 4 loan of from nine to ten millions of dollars, about 2,000,0001. sterling, the Government- being re quired at the same time to submit to the approbation of Congress the basis of the proposed negotiation, These papers communic.ite no new events front the seat of war in the Bauchi Oiiental.
