Sir Enwaan Contumacy observed, that he was aware of the dif ficult situation in which he was placed by the obligation which he was under from the oath he had taken. He was the reporter of certain charges or allegations, and yet It was incumbent on bins to prove on his oat► that which he had heard only from report. Sir HERR: Bummoo° was of Opinion that it was only requisite for him to state what he knew of his own personal knowledge. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON said there was not the slightest mental reservation, nor could he, such was its obligation, reserve any. The COURT was of opinion that it was not incumbent un Sir Edward to prove any thing except what came within his own sphere of observation. Sir EDWARD Conanscrox—Then have I the authority of the Court to say that which Mr. Croker state,' is a —note?—( We were unable to bear the conclusion of the sentence, but we believe he made use of the word "contradiction.") The Coosa—We have nothing to do, Sir Edward, with Mr. 'Croier. Sir EDWARD Conansoron said, that the letters he had written mere never intended to have been made charges in a Court-mar tial—it w•as not with that view ;if it had been so, he would not .gave written so loosely. The third charge was then read from the log-book of the Genoa. Sir &mum Cesium:on then gave his evidence, and stated that Captain Dickenson was reproved by him for not using springs, and fie could only support the charge by the admission of Captain Dickenson—he admitted such to be the fact, and assigned as a cause, his being enable to get his men away from the guns. To a question from Captain Dices:mon, as to whether he had any conversation with him at Malta, relative to the springs ?—Str Edward said he did not recollect it—possibly be had. The fourth charge was then gone into, which was that the Genoa bad three Ottoman ships on her starboard side, three silty-gun frigates on her larboard side a-head, and a double-bank frigate astern. Sir Enwazo Consunsrow said it was utterly impossible, If the entry in the log meant Ottoman ships. He then went lots a lengthened description of the position of the respective ships, which we cannot give, as the mail was about to start when our capon left. The Court adjourned until to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. THE ARMY. A Detachment belonging to the 73d Regiment of Foot, arrived in London yesterday morning, from Chatham, on route to Cork.

When the Duke de CnAuTazs arrived in Paris from England, his Royal Highness, in answer to the numerous inquiries which were made as to how be liked England—replied, that be had mon much to admire, and learned much to remember. The horses of Van Diemen's Land are remarkable for char faculty of supporting the fatigue of a long journey. Travel iers have frequently rode a distance of thirty or even forty miles without stopping for refreshment, and it is no uncommon thing forfora horse to perform the journey between Hobart Town and Laussataton in two days, a distance of lee miles. In the col istedeg of wild tattle, too, the exertions of the horse are won derful, being frequently in the Held with the rider galloping up and down the steepest and most rugged paases,with litdo intermis sion, from morning till night. This hardiness is in some measure to be attributed to their living so much in the open air, night and day, and not enervated by the warmth of the stable: In Routh America, however, a horse will often perform a distance of 35 leagues in :be space of IS hears. But there the plains are *ROA and Oranehos, and the hones are spoke& CHARGES OF EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDITURE in EATING and DRINKING AGAINST THE CORPORATION. The following account of the expenditure of the money which the Corporation of London have been of late charged with having guttled and guzzled," has been made out, in conse quence, we understand, of the accusations brought, from time to time, by Correspondents of the Moraine Hcral4 newspaper against that body. The Members of the Court of Com mon Council are pledged to keep the accounts to themselves, and they have kept the secret until the public fancied that there was no exaggeration in the charge. The account will ►e read with much interest, at all events, as a historical record, and proves that the charitable disposition of the city of London, as well as its libe ral sense of the exertions of great public servants, and attention to public improvements, has not always been done justice to. Atter having stated the various items of improvement since the year 1780, which amount to the gross sum of £55.5.56 18s. 9d. the accounts give the following details, which have never before met the public eye, in consequence of the absurd principle of conceal ment which the Court bad, in its wisdom, adopted.

DINNER TO Ain. HUSKISSON. Thursday the Worshipful the Nlayur gave a slimier at the Ti.svr. Hall to a party of gentkmen who were invited to meet Mr. kisson. The evening passed ..ff with great eclat. Beattie% Mr. Huskisson, there were tour chi r Members of Parliament viz.—Messrs. Stauley, lieneage, Tenuyson, end Ewari. speeches delivered on this occ.sion were numerous, interest ill; impu tint. Mr. Heartssos, ou his health being drunk, returned thanks 1.. 1 speech of considerable kerb. He had, he said, had the pleast re of visiting the magnificent docks of the pot t ; and although he be lieved few, if any. persons were making great profits, he did 'nit perceive any very striking outward signs of the distress under which the merchants and ship-owners were suffering at the preset.: period. The industrious classes seemed to be fully employed. The dock duties were higher in A 111 0 ,4111 than they had ever been at Var same period in any former year. The receipts at the Custun. house were also greater now than they had been at any pr. ceding period. The poor's rates were lower than they had been in past years of prosperity, and they afforded some criterion of the state of the population. He would fain hope, therefore, that things wee , - not so bad in this great commercial town as the representation. the despondent would lead strangers to believe. Thr Right lint . Gentleman stated, that having new more lei.nre than he had :dal - merly bad, be should have it in his power to devote more of hi. attention to the local interests of his constituents, whose weliar, t , . should ever be his study to promote. Mr. MiNTSON, M. P. in returning thanks for the hon'iur which the company had conferred on bins by drinking his health, ob served, that he was the unfortunate author of the measure which had led to Mr. Huskieson's retirement front the Ministry of the Duke of Wellington.—(The proposition to transfer the right of civilian from East Rettoed to iiirminghans.)—But he had vot the least hesitation in saying that Mr. Huskiuon h.d acted, tau that painful occasion, in the most patriotic and considerate manlier.— Indeed, he could bear his testimony to the fact, that the Right Hon. Gent. had always exerted his great talents to the utmost to promote the interests of Liverpool. Mr. Swam', M.P. spoke on three different occasions ; first, when his grandfather, the Earl of Derby's health was drunk ; .e -condly, when his father, Lord Stanley's health was given ; and, thirdly, when his own health, as Member for l'reston, was drunk. In the course of his last speech, he hinted that the highest object sit his ambition was to represent his native county in Parliament ; an object which it was his intention to seek on the first fitting oc casion that offered itself. Mr. Ewase, M. P. and Mr. Hinsmor, M.P. also addressed the meeting on their healths being drunk. Mr. Gummi& spoke at great length, and with considerable ability, in returning thanks for the honour so distinguished a cons. /any had done him in drinking his health. He delensleii Mr. Hus kisson's measures. If any of the evils which were said to baye resulted from those measures had actually resulted from them, he thought, connected as hr was with commerce and s►ipping, that he must have been aware of theit existence. But be was satisfies, that the distress under which the country now laboured had not sprung from his Right Hon. Friend's measures. On the contrary, he believed that it mainly arose from over-production and over trading Experience, indeed, as well as reflection, had convinced him, that Mr. Huskisson's measures were not only wise, but, under all the circumatinces of that period, highly politic. He had thought it his duty to make this declaration, because be had, at one period. been led to take an erroneous view of the measures of which their distinguished representative was the author. "The Corporation of bhepton " having been drunk, The Ranosinas mse,and returned thanks, in a humorous speech, on behalf of that body. The borough of Skepton, unlike the sill er borough, was not troubled wah banks, except such as would pre. vent even a steam-boat from approaching it. The Corporation of Sbepton were more liberal than the Corporation of which the worthy Chairman was the head; they neither charged dock nor town dues on the merchandise brought into their jurisdiction. If the Right Hon. Gentleman had paid the Corporation of which be had the honour of being the Recorder, a visit, be could assure him, that they would have exercised towards bins the usual hospitali.y of that body. Mr. Husicuson, in the course of a speech which be had occasion to make, regretted that he could not do himself the honour of m ing a visit to the munificent and enlightened Corporation ut Shep ton. He was convinced, if he ever should have the pleasure of being their guest, that they would present him with more good things than he could well carry away—(A laugh). So numerous and interesting were the speeches delivered ea th:s occasion, the Mayor and his distinguished guests did not quit the room until nearly half-past II o'clock. Some gentlemen remained in the room a short time longer. HA R V EST.—The weather, since our last publication, has, with the exception of two days only, continued sn wet and tempestuous as materially to interfere with the operations of the harvest, and we greatly fear fur those crops which were unboused at the commencement of this dreary weather, which gives the season more the aspect of winter than of autumn. The accounts of the harvest are gloomy from many parts of the country, and we fear we may anticipate a period of extreme distress for the poor in the coming winter.—Plystosias Pbpe►. The Comet London coach was ups2t on Monday last. near Epsom, and a lady who was on the outside had some ribs broken ; the other passengers being precipttated into a ditch, escaped with a good ducking only. The coachman had alighted to take in a passenger, and the horses turning suddenly round. . occasioned the accident. COHN—EXCHANGE. MARK—LAVE. Avo. 28.
