The club Dow coosisu of 169 members, and Its Merge amounts to Dearly 600 tom, and receiving annually an ateltaMs et about lit members and several vessels, its importance greatly increase. Having rendezvoused in Hothsay Bay sr y morning, the yachts formed In line astern of the Com maim% and,wood over to Largs. It was unfortunate that the buboes of the weather bad prevented many Irish vessels which bad meant to attend. The same cause spoiled the effect of the boat races t ris ich took place at Large, it having come to blow very fre front the west. However, four gigs staved, and rowed round boat moored off Fakir, through a heavy sea, which ducked the rowers considerably. The first prize was carried off by Mr. batmen's .gig, of Greenock; and the second by a London bat t boat, belonging to Mr. Langtry, of Belfast. In the evening a I took plata, attended by ISO persons; the bell room was astdull rated with evergreens and flowers, and enlivened by the fine mua - -01, Cunningham's band; dancing wits kept up with great spirit till an early hour in the morning, and at tended by all the beauty and fashion of the neighbourhood.— Tuesday was appointed for the race of the vessels of the first class, which were to sail round Larnlasit Island to Haa se,. Eight yachts started with a fine westerly breeze; but It having turned calm, followed by light motherly and variable Winds darkness closed the day ere the race was finished, by Mr. winds, cutter. the Arid, arriving at half-past deem, only one minute and a half before Mr. Smith's Amethyst.— Another ball took place in the evening, at itothsay, attended by all the beauty and fashion of that gay watering-place, and others came for the same occasion from Glasgow. Greenock, Largs, ke. and amongst the number some Military Gentlemen from the former place. The Company amounted to nearly two hundred. Cunningham's delightful music again animated the feet and souls of the dancers. Quadrilles, waltzing, and various country dances, followed each other in rapid succes sioo,, while those who miabt have ceer.plained of a lack of re. freshasents at Large, were here liberally supplied; and in short n rosy fingered" moraine conducted many home, ere the delighted par entirely broke up. Weddeaday the Vessels of the second class sailed round Little Cumbrae to Greenock, passing inside of a boat moored aff near Loris. Five vessels started, Amethyst, J. Smith, Esq. Gipsey, W. Robertson, Iraq. Falcon, W. lrown Ran Elizabeth. J. SPNair, Seq. and Nancy, J. Cantle, Bsq. ar riving at Greenock in the order bete set down, the Amethyst about 9, miles wheed of the Gipsey, at about S o'clock, r. w. The wind was squally and blew fresh from the south, gradually calming as they approached Greenock, till scarce enough was left to conduct the last cutters thither. The morning of Thursday proved gloomy and rather unfavourable for the row boat aces that were to take place. Nevetthekos, crowds thronged the beach and filled the Steam-bows that attended the races, and two very interesting matches were witnessed, besides the first for jolly boats. which was spoiled by mistaking the race course. The neat march was for sip pulled by Gentlemen rowers to Dew Goutock and back again. 'The prise was for a gold medal, and was gained by Mr. Lagtry's London gig, which, however, was not abase fuse boats length a bead of Mr. Robertson's, of Greenock. and performed the distance b 43 minutes. Mr. Sinelair's came in neat with a broken oat, sod Mr. Campbell of Otter's two gig., and one pulled by the Officers of the 49ch. It is bat justice to the last, ' however, to odd, that with such a boat, no rowers could have come in first. CORN EXCHANGR, MARK-LANR, Amor B.

This was an indictment against ten young men for a riot at East Retford, during the election in June, 1826 , The Cosmos SERGEANT declined to press the case against the defendants, as it was so long since the riot had happened. Although they had done much injury by breaking windows, &c. he would be satisfied if they pleaded guilty, and entered into their own recognizance. to appear when called upon. The defendants having assented to this proposal, and complied with the terms of it, they were discharged. FULLER o. HOWICK. This was an action of assault and battery. Mr. CLAUC was Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. COMMON Star/amts. for the defendant. The plaintiff is a com• mercial traveller at Louth, in Lincolnshire, and the de fendant is a respectable hosier in Nottingham, and was formerly an officer In the Army. Miss Foote had a benefit at the Theatre in Nottingham on the Bth of Oct. last ; the play was The Honey Moon; the house was crowded. The defe . adant, with some Ladies and Gen tlemen, occupied a box near the stage. The plaintiff came in at half price time, and tried to get into this box. He was told these was no room. He insisted there was at least standing room ; at all events, he would stand in the door, and see what he could. The defendant opposed this, and desired the door to be closed. An altercation t.,ok place. The de fendant strtclt plaintiff with a stick. and inflicted a wound on his forehead an inch and a ha:f in length, and blood flowed copiously. Plaintiff first wiped away the blood, and then brought a constable, and gave the defendant in charge. Several witnesses were examined as to whether.there was room enough for plaintiff in the box? Some swore there was, and others the reverse, and that the plaintiff was tipsy, though not quite drunk. Verdict for the plaintiff—Mmages 501. CROWN SIDI. .. --- William Cation, aged 15, was charged with killing and slaying Wm. Lenton, in the parish of St. Mary, in this town, on the Bth day of April last. A witness named Allen, stated that he had been ap prentice to the deceased. Cotton had also been his ap : prentice. In the moat,' of December last, Cotton and his master had•a quarrel, in consequence of the lad'► work having been lowered. High words took place, and the master struck Cotton. Another dispute took place between them afterwards on the subject of the work, when a scuffle ensued, and they both fell down. The master struck the boy ; but witness did not see the boy strike bis master. When the master got up, he said " Sre what the scoundrel has done to me with the file." His knee was bleeding. There was a puncture in it, about as large as the top of one's little finger. The pri soner had had a file in his hand, with which he had been working. .Hedifd not take it up to strike his master with it. • -.'y There being WWl,' evidence of what took place between the prisoner and the deceased, Lord TENTERDIEN observed that there was no case against the prisoner, who was theselote acquitted. STAFFORD, Amu 4: Before Mr. Jostles Lemma's. LISIL.—CHUW*S versus SMART. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated, that this was an action brought against the defendant, as the proprietor of the froirerhaseptose Chronicle, for a libel. Mr. Jaavis said that this action was brought by the plaintiff, who was a horse jockey, and rode at horse races against the defendant, who was the proprietor of the Wolverhantplon Chronicle, and it must be ad mitted, that as character was of the last importance to a horse jockey, the Jury would know that the case was to him of very serious importance. The plaintiff had been long a jockey, and was in the employ of Mr. Meynell, the High Sheriff of this County; and it would be proved that there had been races at Stour bridge, on which occasion the plaintiff had ridden a mare, named Arachne; and It was a paragraph relat ing to that race which contained the libel complained of. (The Learned Gentleman read the libel.) On this occasion he was in possession of a great deal of proof to shew that the plaintiff had acted honestly in this race; but this he should not be at liberty to adduce, unless there was a question raised on the plaintiff's l character by the defendant; and, in the first instance, he should content himself with 'hewing, that the plain tiff was a jockey who received, for each race, three guineas if he lost, and five if he won; and this. with the additional proof that the defendant was the editor of the paper, would entitle him to a ♦erdict. The defendant had put no justification on the record, and the plaintiff brought this action to defend his charac ter, as without character the plaintiff was deprived of the means of getting his livelihood. Richard Spenser said—l reside at Hadsford. lam a trainer of horses. I know the plaintiff. He was sir or seven years in my employ. He is now a jockey, and rides races, and he is paid for so doing. He is paid three guineas when he is beat, and five when he wins. Crnss-examined by Mr. Cratrant--The plaintiff was in the service of the High Sheriff, but be is now with me again. I have as good an opinion of him u I ever had In my life. He Is about 20 years of age. Joseph Whitehouse said—l am a farmer at Hedgford. The plaintiff is a jockey. I was present at the Stourbridge races, where I saw the plaintiff ride Arachne, in the race against Susan and the Moor. After this, I was at the Replay races, and then Susan and Amebae ran again, and Susan woo the first beat,and Ara c line won the second and t hird beats. She was ridden by Mr. Spring, a celebrated jockey. James Alien ;aid—l am the Bert of the stamp distributor. produce the Wirfeerksisptes areal* containing the alleged libel.— The libel was read : ' 4 The Gold Cup of 109 'nos. by subscription of 101. each. " Mt. Beattie named b. m. Susan " Mr. Grasebrooke named b. m. Arachne . Major Coven's br. e. the Moor . " One account says this race gave universal dissatisfaction. The ride of Arachne is suipected of having acted dishonestly,by having laid out of his_ground at least so yards, and made his ruining each time rosad thl hill, which is very heavy ; if he had rode her in any otter way, she could not possibly have lost. Attother mutat says, that Arachne, who was the favourite, was beat by the severe rustling made throughout the race." Mr. CAMPSILL, for the defendant, sari that the no minal plaintiff was Mr. John. Cheswas, but he did sup pose that Mr. Chet was cared no more for the alleged libel than it it had been a playbill, or the history ct a .how exhibited at the Stourbridge races; and he should prove out of his own mouth, that the plaintiff was quite indifferent to the publication in question. He (the L•arned Counsel) had no doubt that the plaintiff was a most clever rider and able j .ckey ; but, for all that, there could be no doubt that it the Jury were bound to find a verd.ct fur the plaintiff, he Mat% quite sure that they eould DOI exceed a farthing in the amount of the damages t• ey should give. It was said that a player ud the stage—an otat.or in the senate—..d divine in the ulpit—sand a lawyer at the bar, weie all twit to criti. z j i ,ol; and *by shoe d tr:t hur:r joclitts be cipta4 open Ito animadveision. for they were public characters as much as the parties mentioned ; and so expert were some of them, that be had no doubt the names. of Buckle and Chiffney would go down to posterity with the names of Pitt and Fox. As the plaintiff was not hurt, he might ask for a verdict with only nominal damages even as the case stood ; but he should call wimesses, as he hoped, that the learned Judge would grant his certificate to deprive, not Mr. Chess as, but the real Winger of the action, of his costs. He had brought actions against the Stlffordshire Advertiser, the Birmingham Journal, the Birmingham Chronicle, the Birmingham Gazette, the,Spian Journal, and the Worcester Herald, for - this same libel.— It was generally known that the newspapers must copy from one another ; and be would admit, that al though it was no defence in point of law that the parties had copied from another paper, still there was a great difference beta een strict law and the real right between man and man. It was mate unfair to bring actions against those who might not know any thing of the plaintiff; and it would be shewn the defendant was not the originator of the paragraph, and that he knew nothing of the plaintiff, and had in fact merely coped this from another pa per. namely, the Worcester Journal, of the 2d of September, the defendant's publication being on the 6th; and when he (the Learned Counsel) came to analyze the article, he should shew it to be ad article fit to be copied from one paper into another.-:-. It gave two distinct accounts; and as the horse was expected to win, and did not, there were accurst two opinions--one imputing unfair riding to Arachne, the other putting her defeat upon the rain Or other causes Now, both these two accounts were publisherrtogebee in the Worcester Journal, and copied word fr.r word into the Wolverhampton Chronick. If the defendant had only copied t is from the Worcestet Journal, theme seemed no reason for an action against the defendant. But the attorney knew that a week after, the defendant; unasked and unsolicited, bad published an ample eon. tradiction of the supposed libel;`and that did shew that this actio m was one of the most infamous ever commenced. It was also right to observe, that throughout the article the name of Cheswas never appea ed; and he could also tell them what had become of the cther actions brought on this libel t he would shew that they had been settled. and that the attntney had been paid costs in all of theta; and he should also prove that the plaintiff had said he had sustained no injury by the paragraph in question. The parties who were sued in the other actions had "set about compromising them, and paid the plaintiff's at torney sums for which he would shew his rece•rs. Of the Staffordshire Advertiser he had received SOL ft* damages, and 101. for costs; of the .Faloplax Journeir 301. and from each of the three Birminesin Pap rs 361. ISs. 4d. This was not all, for he should prove, from the plaintiff's own mouth, that he had sustained no loss, and he was therefoie a puppet in the hands of another. Had not the j •ckey (if he had r' ceived the sums, amounting to about 1501.) received quiteenough, if the money had really found its way into the pocket of Mr. Cheswas? Would Juries countenance such pro. ceedings? Any damages would carry costs, unless the Judge aboald, in his direction, think fit to grant a cer tificate to deprive the plaintiff's attorney of his costs of the action. If such actions were encouraged, they would find anomie% going to Peele's Coffee-house to search for libels against horselockies, stage.coachaten, , chimney-sweepers, and other persons of the lowest classes of society, merely to bring actions against the' newspapers, for the sake of getting costs froth the pockets of their proprietors. He did hope that the Jury would mark their sense of the transaction by fighting a verdict of one farthing damages, regretting that they were obliged to give so much. Witnesses for she defence were examined, and Mr. Jaav is replied. Mr. Justice LITTLIDALs said, that it was admitted that the publication was a libel, and it then became a question of damages. The first ground of mitigation was, that the libel was copied from another paper, and that, no doubt, took away all idea of malice, though it was no defence in law ; and as a rider was a man who depended a good deal upon his character, and this was a libel calculated to do injury to a man of that class, he could see no objection to a man in that station in life bringing an action, if his character was improperly at tacked. The next ground of mitigation was the wend paragraph : now that, though a contradiction, was, it should be observed, not an apology. It was also said, that these and many other actons were brought to be nefit the attorney ; and it was a matter proper to consi der, that the plaintiff had already received damages from other parties. Seven actions were a great r umber, no doubt; but still, as a rider of races went about the country a good deal, be, perhaps, ought to be allowed, without blame, to bring more than one action, in de fence of his reputation. • It was also said, that Cheswas had nothing to do with the actions; however, it .ap peered that he was inquiring about who was the author, which chewed that he was not quiescent on the subject. It was for the Jury to say what damages they would give, as the case was entirely in their hands. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Farthing. Mr. CAMPBELL-1 hope your Lordship will certify, to deprive the plaintiff's attorney of the costs. Mr. Justice LITTLIIDALI—I will consider of it. Joseph Martin was indicted for feinniceisly adminis. tering a quantity of gin to Joseph Sweet, an infant four years old, and thereby causing his death. Flom the evidence for the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner, in company with a man named Blower, on the 9th of April last, went into the Ring of-Bells public-house, at Wolverhampton, kept by the father of the deceased, anti having callei f..r two quar terns of gin, the deceased Joseph Sweet and his twin brother Henry Sweet went into the kitchen wheme the prisoner and Blower were siting. Blower called Henry to him, and gave him a drop of gin out of the glass. The prisoner did the same to the deceased, who, instead of stopping when he had tasted it, put his hand to the bottom of the glass, and nearly drank the whole; this was at eight o'clock in the marring before the children had breakfasted. Shortly after the child was taken ill, and in a mew hours died. Mr. Baton VAUGHAN having suggested that there was not sufficient evidence to e,tablish the charge against the prisoner, the Jury returned a verdict of I`. - ot GuillyP The prisoner, after a suitable reprimand to be more careful in future, was then discharged, YORK, Aucturr 6.—CROWN Mr. Baron HULLOCK came into CM this morning, arid passed ten ence suners who had been convicted tf va.
