It appeared frodr the idence, that Mr. R. had actually given. checks Jot oqsiklerible amount more than heltaJ effects to meet. If die Tory thopght he had acted fraudulently, then of course the plaintiff would be enVtled to a verdict. The Jury, after ten minutes' consultation, returned a verdict for the pl.iint dr—Damages 7001. S')LARTE AND OTHERS V. ROTHSCHILD. This action was brought by the Plaintiff, who ale assignees of a Spanish merchant named Alcido, who had lately become a bankrupt, to recover from the De fendant a sum of 116 0001. It appeared that a contract had been entered into by Alcido, with Messrs. Rothschild, to purchase a quan tity of French Rentes, which were to be paid for in bullion, dollars, and bar silver. Either party were to be at liberty to cancel the agreement on the delivery of the bullion. The Rentes were accordingly purchased in Pa: and the dividends regularly paid, until the bank rup•cy of Alcido, when Messrs. Rothschild understood that some South American merchants had large claims upon Alcidn's property. The Defendants, acting on tit it knowledge, forbore to transfer the Rentes to him. The assignees, uncle: all the circumstances, sought to recover the property for the benefit of the creditors. A Clerk in the Bank of England proved that Alcido had. in Oc tober, 1823, a quantity of Bullion in the Bank. He had 287,000 oz. of bar silver, and 161,000 oz. in dollars. Mr. Sc It Lam for the Defendant, said, it was not the intention of his client to keep the money. He was only de,irous, in consequence of the unexpected bankruptcy of Alcido, to prevent the money getting improperly into the hands of creditors. He thought it was right for Ebe l Defendant to hold the money over for the Consigners of the dollars and bar silver, who, hearing that the money had not been paid to Alcido, would have made a de mand on the Defendants to pay it over to them. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiffs—Damages 116,0001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 26. • !LOOK O. JONES. - This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as as signee of the estate and effects of Dring, a bankrupt, to recover a sum of 6261. which he alleged the bankrupt bad paid to the defendant in fraudulent preference to the rest of his creditors. The bankrupt had carried on the bu.iness of a brewer at Bristol, and the defendant had become his surety in a bond for the payment of a large sum of money. The bankruptcy and commission being proved, the bankrupt was put into the box; and from his examination, it appeared, that this payment of 6Y61. had nut been made under the force of legal com pulsion; that about the time of making it he had given up some of his premises, and that he had reviewed his accounts, and was not then able to meet all his demands; but he positively denied that he had contemplated bank ruptcy at that moment. The Caw , Justicit kft it to the Jury to say whether a voluntary payment, made under such circumstances, did not in itself chew an intenti,m of a preference that, though nut fratuilulent in morals, was void in law. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, declaring the pay ment to be an illegal preference. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1826. 81. Smolt AND ST. JUDO—HOLIDAY AT THI BAN[.

We are without arrivals this mottfng from the Con tinent, and there is scarcely a report to enliven the void. Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, received at the North and South American Coffee-house, sth August: " Unfortunately, our state of blockade, senders news from this quarter anything but interesting. I refer you to the Newspapers for an account of an action fought by Brown's squadron, (or rather his own ship,) for all the rest of the vessels abandoned him, on the 80th July. I doubt not but several Portuguese would have been captured. We expect the Chih fleet. Brown, it is said, is going overland :to Patagonia to meet them. This force con ists of two frigates and one brig, qu:te enough under Brown, to render the existence of the blockade. more than doubtful. Monteviedo is besieged by the patriots on the land side, and nothing is allowed to enter. Gen. Alveur shortly leaves this to take the command in the Banda Oriental. And, next month, which is our spring, the Patriots expect 10,000 men in that quarter. Arti!- lery and mortars have lately been forwarded from this for active operations." • We have received French Pipers to the 26th instant, and the Etoile of Thqrsday. The latter copies from the :Smyrna Journal the Turkish account of the action , ught on the 20th of August before Athens, which has already appeared five or six times, and has been as often contradicted in many particulars by advices (torn less suspicious quarters. It al pears by an article horn Moscow, that the Emperor NICHOLAS was dissatisfied with his own negotiators at Akermann, for having allowed so long a pet iod as the 7th of October to the roare to accept or to reject his Ultimatum, whereas the first time filed was the 25th of September. The final result, however. must have removed the displeasure of his Russian MAJESTY, if he . really was desirous`that the Degocietione should terminate in piace. There are two arrivals from the East Indies I thii • morning, but of old dates. The Jamaica Mail; so anxiously looked for. has not yet arrived; and great fear is entertained of her being dismasted in the late gales in the West Indies. Extract of a letter from the Agent's at Lloyd's, at Constantinople, dated 6th Oc•ober : " Sir 11. Neale bas circulated a letter * stating, that as five Creek brigs of war have separated from the fleet and become pirates, he cannot be answerable for the safety of any vessel that may sail without the protection of convoy. A convoy is appointed to be at the Dardanelles on the Ist October, to take the vessels thence to Smyrna. The Lively, Ford, arrived at Smyrna from London. " The Tula and Nymph have been with her in Milo, and were proceeding direct for Constantinople.

BADDELZY, the original Canton in the Clandestine Marriage, and Mow in the School for Scandal, was, befor his ap pearance on the stage, cook to Buss Donnutorox (afterwards Lord Macron), and quitted his Lordship's kltcbeu for that of Forme of the Haymarket ; so that whilst the modern Arislophanes was innsllg log the then public taste of the town for dramatic satire, BADDZLET was privately gratifying the epicurean taste of the Manager by his culinary art, and occasionally, during the time so employed, played the characters of Frenchmen, and other parts, with such success, that he was afterwards engaged at Drury.lane, and bade adieu for ever to the making of ragouts, French ewe, and Perigord pies. Ha soon afterwards married Miss Scow, who became the favourite Opkllia, Patty in the Maid ?Me Mill, and other principal parts in Operas. Mrs. BADDILRY'S features were beautiful, her figure genteel, but ha mental energies did not exactly correspond with the attractions of her person. This morning a Wardmote was held at the School House in &. Mary Axe, belonging to the Ward of Lime-street, for the purpose of electing an Alderman for the Ward in the room of Mr. Alderman Bateau who had resigned.

Thanks were then voted to the Loan MAYOR and the meeting separated. Wednesday morning about three o'clock, the print works of Messrs.

Each man appears confident of success, and betting is nearly even: This event, ou which great sums are pending, wiU take place on Thursday next, within twenty miles of Loudon. Mr. Abernethy, the celebrated pedestrian, completed yesterday his match, which exceeded that, which any other nun possibly could accomplish, considering the unfavourable state of the wea• titer, which was much against him. His task was to go from London to the eightieth mile stone on the Bath road, and return in forty-seven hours. The snatch was for 200 sovereigns, and the half part of the road being frilly, the odds were six and seven to four on time. The pedestrian commenced his labours at three o'clock on Wednesday morning, and reached Staines in three hours, where he made a temporary halt, and went on to Blackwater, where he took refreshment by way of lunch, at half-past eight o'clock (30 miles). He next arrived at Overton, (53 miles), and dined and had his table cleared by a quarter past three.— The pedestrian reached the next 14 miles, Weyhill, in three hours, and touched on the e•Jistieth mile stone, after three hours' refresh ment, only at twelve at night, and returned to within a mile of Andover soon after three, leaving himself sixty-four miles to do in twenty hours. lie did his twenty miles in the next Iwo hours, when be became muck distressed, and continued oat to Golden Farm Hill, where he refreshed and remained nearly half an hour. The pedestrian then started somewhat refreshed, to perform the last twenty-seven miles in eight hours. He accomplished. his great feat * ten nuuutes under the time.

LITERARY iNTELLIGENCE. The New Publishing Season just about to commence, promises to be one of unusual bril liance. Mr. Bosoms's Life of our great Tragic Actress, Mrs. &oboes, which is on the eve of its appearance, is to be succeeded by the Autobiography of the Veteran Comic Dramatist, O'Kerves. His Volumes are said to embrace a period of nearly seventy years, and to delineate, with the peculiar humour of the Writer, the State of Society in Ireland at the middle of the last Century. They include, also, Original Anecdotes of celebrated Persons (in that Country and in England), connected with the Drama, the Fine Arts, and High Life. In fiction, the New Novel by the Author of " Brambletye House," takes the lead. The scene we under stand, is laid, in the early part of the Work, in Calais and its neighbourhood, during the time when that part of France was in the possession of the English, and when fierce and romantic eon tests frequently raged between the French and English Borderers. It afterwards changes to the Abbey of Ghstonbury, and subse quently to London, and the Court of Hexer VIII. when Aso Bossrm was beginning to supersede the unfortunate Casugsnon of Maarten; in the affections of the Km.

A letter from New York, dated the 29th of Sept. Says 5...." The beautiful frigate Hellas, built by Messrs.

Although her size is about 2,200 tons, with 32 long 32-pounders on her first deck, and 32 42-pounders on the other deck, and she is fully cal culated to fight any 74-gun ship, so perfect is her construction in every respect, that at a distance she may be supposed to be a small ordinary frigate." The Grand Jury for the County of Middlesex, yes terday, returned a True Bill against Captain James Deans Mr. Dunaton , Mr. Charles Edward Grindall, and William Hunter, for a conspiracy to imprison J. Adcock Grindall, Esq.; and also a True Bill against the same for an assault. The case will be removed-into the King's Bench. 1 DEATH OF ALDERMAN Maostay.—Yesterday` de parted this life, at his house, East Hill, Wandsworth, Christopher Magnay, Esq. Alderman for the Ward of Vintry, to which he was elected in the year 1810; was elected Sheriff in 1814 ; and served the office of LORD MAYOR in the year 1821, in a manner highly creditable, and for which he received the unanimous thanks of his fellow citizens. His death was hastened by an unfor tunate accident, which occurred about ten days ago, while returning in a gig from Hyde Park, when it was. overturned by another gig which drove against him, in consequence he was precipitated into the road, and was taken, much injured, to St. George's Hospital, where he was bled. He so far recovered as to be enabled soon after to proceed home in a carriage, and was con fined to his room until yesterday, when he expired. The Alderman has left a numerous family to lament his death. At Hadstoe, in Essex, there is to this day, on the north door of the church, the skin of a Dane, which :hews that there had been thereabouts some smart engage-1 ments between the Danes and Saxons, and this was one of the pieces of revenge which the Saxons, on getting the upper hand again, executed upon them. .1 GENERAL AGRICULTURAL MEETING.-•—A meeting or, the General Agricultural Committee, consisting ofiDe-1 puties from the Associations of different Counties, took place at the York Hotel, Bridge-street, on Thursday, to consider of the necessary measures to be taken to oppose the attempts expected to be made in the ensuing Session of Parliament to procure an alteration of the Corn, Laws. The Committee were of opinion, that the pre.l seat prohibitory system afforded a more efficient pro tection to agriculture than either fixed or graduated duties, and a Petition to the Legislature to that effect was prepared. It was also resolved, that a Memorial' should be presented to Isis Majesty's Ministers, urging the injury that the general interests of the kingdom., and more particularly agricultural property, would sustain by the proposed alteration, and the injustice of such a sacrifice to popular clamour. An Address was likewise drawn up to those owners and occupiers of land of the United Kingdom who have nct joined the Association, soliciting their co-operation with the exer tions of die Committee. And it was determined, should the intended measure be persisted in, that a Petition should be presented to Parliament, praying that the agriculturists might be allowed to produce evidence against it.

STANZAS. Happy moments, fly ! Since Fate has set me free, And Pleasure's ever•laughing eye Has yet a beam for me! Happy moments, Sy i Ye have no care for me, — Farewell the anxious boding sigh, The heart's lone minstrelsy ! - Happy moments, fly! But bring again that bliss— The sweet reward of constancy, Life's honey-drop—a kiss. Yet happy moments, stay ! Methinks ye are too fleet, When Joy attunes the roundelay, What music half so sweet ! Happy moments, stay ! Love's bliss, as swift as thee, Is but a moment's age; yet, aye, That moment give to me ! Then happy moments, Ay ! Nor rob me of my bliss— For Truth has seal'd Love's victory, And sanctifies the kiss! September 10, 1826. Y. NOVEL AFFAIR. Wednesday, Mr. Hunt, as Lord of the Manor of Glastonbury, assembled about 200 persons at the White Hart Inn, at that place, to give notice of the revival of the Court Baron, as established by Alfred the Great, to determine juries, trespasses, debts and other actions, that are under 40s. Mr. Hunt made a speech, and contrived to keep his audience in good humour whilst he declat ed his hostility to the sharks (lawyers), and to put the Cor poration, Recorder, &c. in the sticks, should they op pose his judicial reformations. Some of the farmers complained of low prices; which, of course, Mr. Hunt bad predicted. Mr. Hunt then gave the following snatch Alas the country ! How shall tongue or pen Bewail her now uncountry Gentlemen ! The last to bid the cry of warfare cease, The Arst to make a malady of peace? For what were all those country Patriots born To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn ; But corn, Uke every mortal thing, must fall, .itssgs, corsprerors, and snorkels most f all.—(Loud laughter.) The Juries then returned the names of some of the most creditable men in the Manor to serve in the dif ferent offices. The elected persons complained heavily of being called to fill such situations, and pleaded seve ral things in excuse of their services; but Mr. Hunt over-ruled them all, declaring that he rejoiced that the Juries had taken so much care of the public as to elect' men who were qualified to serve them so effectually. The several Officers, according to custom, pulled out the fees which the elected are usually called upon to pay, but the Lord of the Manor said, he was determined to support the dignity of the personage whom he repre sented by rejecting all fees. He dissolved, after having received the various presentments, the proceedings of the Court from two till near six o'clock, when Mr. Hunt gave a dinner to several of his friends and tenants. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THE KING V. HURST. The defendant in this case, who Is the master of a trading vessel between London and I lamburgh, wu convicted before the Nlagi► trates of the Thames Police Office, in the penalty of 4"20, for pilot ing his own vessel out of the port of London, having refused to take a pilot, regularly appointed by the Trinity liouse, on board for that purpose. He appealed from the conviction, and that appeal came en now to be argued.. Messrs. Bottlsloind LAW, who appeared to support the convic tion, having stated the circumstances under which it had taken place, and which have already appeared. The CHAIRMAN observed, that whatever might be the policy or impolicy of the law upon tie question, he was bound to decide strictly according to its provisions. His present impression was, that the conviction was right ; but as the case was a most important one, he would adopt Mr. Adolphus's suggestion, and defer giving judgment upon it, until he should carefully look over the different Acts of Parliament upon the subject, together with:the Trinity • house Charter of lames 11. Several stage coach proprietors having been convicted, upon the evidence of Martin, the informer, of not having the names of the plates to and from which they ply, written " on the outer pannel of each of the coach doors," as required by Act of Parliament, ap pealed from their convictions, which, however, after some argument at the bar, were confirmed by the Court. The Gazette of last night contains di,patchec front Sir HARRY NEALE, announcing the captive Ur destruc tion of seven piratical vessels in the Archipelago. It also offers His MAJESTY'S pardon, and a re.st and of 1004 to any person concerned in the wounding of Joys CANN, on 10th instant, on the beach betwe,n Ural and Dover, by a musket shot, (except the man who actually fired,) who shall make known his accomplices, and bring them to conviction. Baron Larrey, the celebrated Surgeon-General of the French Armies, and confidant of Napoleon, did not leave England without paying a visit to the General Military Hospital, at Chatham. Ile was accompanied by the Director-General of the Army Medical Department, and was received by Col. Sir Archibald Christie, and by the Officers of the Medical Staff, with that respect and attention which was due to a man no less distinguished by his eminent and conspicuous talents, than by his private worth. The Baron in spected the General Hospital, the Medical Museum, and Library, the Artillery Models, Dock-yard, Ste. with all which he was hi g hly pleased. He afterwards partook of an elegant dinni r;at o hick were present most of the Officers in garrison at Chatham, the Com manding Officers of Artillery, Corps of Royal Engineers, lloyal Marines, ace. _ . We are informed that the method recently said to be a diicov introduced by en American dentis:, for the cure of toptli-ach... arising from carious teeth, viz. cutting off the crown of the di:tea:L:l tooth, and leaving the root behind, has been practised fur yeirs by some dentists in Loudon. Toe difference in the operation Whig simply this : The London dentist files off the di,e.s d part manly through before he breaks it off : the Amerie. o u.cs.iyoweriti ,:harp nippets, and pinches it off at once. Expel fence alone will deci.te which is the better expedient, and whether the of a fine s W niiiht not materially add to the nicety of the operation.
