FRANKFORT, NOYAKIIIM 20. _ _ _ By an arrangement made at Carlsruhe, on the 14th of Novem b er , 1826, Baden and Bavaria have agreed to cat an the windings of the Rhine, between the Forest bf HasseWorst, near Scbrackh, and the Canal of Fran kenthal. There will be nine of these cuts in the terri tory of Baden, and seven in that of Bavaria. Each Government is to oarry into execution the works that are undertaken in the territory of the other. The work is already begun in the environs of Spire. This rectifi cation of the river will be completed in 1831. It will 1 1 shorten the course of the Rhine, seven or eight leagues, Eight hundred feet is the breadth fixed upon for the river. Where it is necessary the river will be reduced ito the breadth by dikes, which the two Governments have engaged to keep in good order. In consequence, 0 this operation the bed of the river will acquire more depth, which according to the calculations that have been made, will be at least ten or twelve feet. At pre. sent the navigation of the Upper Rhine is very difficult, as well for want of water in the channel, as of good towing paths, which it is impossible to keep up, on as count of the irregular course of the river: These incon veniences will cease by this rectification of its course, and :ommerce will derive inestimable advantages from it. The Government of Baden has also proposed to that of France, to proceed to the rectification of the Rhine from Schackh to Huningen. We have received the Paris morning papers of Mon day, with the Eteile dated Tuesday. It is said in a paragraph in the latter, that a courier had arrived at Paris on the 2d instant, w►o left iNladrid on the 26th ult. with the intelligence that Spain offers to afford every satisfaction on the late movement of the Por tuguese refugees, and promises to take measures against similar at tempts in future. It is stated in a paragraph from Lisbon. that the Portuguese Minister of War has returned from his Tear in the Algarves. His F.xcellency has had several conferences with Lord Hainwroan, who is going to organize the Portuguese Army, as be did about twelve years ago.

Prince CHARLES BONAPARTE, eldest son of LUCIEN Bowasa are, was to set off from Liverpool in a few days, for Lon don ; and thence proceed to Italy, by the way of Brussels, to join his family. THE FUNERAL OF JOHN NICHOLS, ESQ. F. S. A. took place Tuesday morning at Islington. Besides the members of his family, kis remains were attended by many friends, amongst whom were several Gentkmen well known in the Literary world. ALs.z. Cshicataae, H. Etta, of the Museum, and W. Toot, &qrs. were of the number. A case of assault was tried at the Middlesex S:ssions, at which the Chairman gave an opinion of considerable importance to Licensed Victuallers, and to those who run in their debt without acy intention of paying them. He decided directly against an idea which very generally prevails, that a person who calls fcr victuals or drink. and endeavours to leave the house without paying for the same, cannot be detained. On the contrary, the Victualler is jus tifiable in having him taken into custody. Yesterday the whole of the prisoners in the Borough Compter were regaled with prime joints of roasted beet and plum pudding, washed down with copious libations of bratish Burgundy, at the expense of J. HOLMES, Esq. the worthy High Bailiff of Southwark, whose never failing attention to the unfortunate has frequently in. !used into their bosoms the seeds of joy and gratitude. It is stated in a New York Paper that the revenue of the United States will fall short in the present year, by from I,ooopeo to 2 3 000,000 of dollars of the amount anticipated in the official report at Ale Treasury ikiarunent and Committees of Songreesj pLASGOW; bac. S. Saturday night, little before eleven o'clock, $ Gen tleman was attacked on his way home, on the road to the Tsiwn Mill, by five ruffians, who were drawn up in line on the footpath, and demanded his money telling dim they knew him, and were waiting fir him. Three tiF them had knives, with which they threatened to stab him if he made any resistance; and another of the party carried a large bludgeon, with which he struck him on the head. They succeeded in robbing him of a double cased gold watch, with gold chain and seals, together with IN. in bank notes, and some small articles. About half an hour after the above robbery, another Gen tleman, in company with his son, two daughters, and a servant girl, who carried a lantern, were at tacked by the same gang, in the lane betwixt the High Church new burying-ground and Spring Gar dens. They first broke the lantern, and extinguished the light, and having forced th e b oy up to the wall, they menaced him with instant death with their knives ; they then robbed him of a silver watch, with steel chain and two gold seals. The'father, who carried a cane sword, (though severely struck and bruised by the party) made a thrust at one of them twice, with which he thinks he wounded him, but the spear unfortunately broke. Two of the watchmen on the burying-zround hearing the noise leaped over the wall, but were told they would be murdered if they interfered. In both cases the robbers behaved in the most daring and ferocious manner. An old Gentleman was, on the same evening, robbed on Garngad Hill, of ten shillings in silver, a pair of spectacles, and a silver pencil-case. This robbery, no doubt, was perpetrated by the same villains, as Garn gad Hill is in the near neighbourhood of the above mentioned places. Saturday sennight, John"Ryebura, one of the Stewarton carriers, left Mr. Miller's yard, Glasgow, in good health and spirits, to re turn home. About one o'clock on Sunday morning, he was found lying dead on the road, near the Waterland T,U Bar. He had three cuts en his head, which were thz cause of his death; but how these wounds were inllicted has not yet been ascertained. The cart was found two miles farther on than the body. The head and body of the unfortunate man have been examined by medical men, on the suggestion of solar of the Justices in the neighbourhood, and their report decidedly Is, that the wound must have been inflicted other wise than by a fall. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGIL A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the Society for Promoting Chtistian Knowledge, was yester day held at the Society's house, in Lincoln's Inn-fields —his GI ace the Archbishop of Canterbury in the Chair, at which a considerable potion of a very voluminous correspondence was read, principally relating to the state of the Missions in the South of India, and the great and exemplary efforts made by the late lamented Bishop of Calcutta for their furtherance and extension. The most honourable and affectionate testimonies were throughout the whole of this correspondence borne to the extraordinary zeal and assiduity with which Bishop Heber had laboured to disseminate the blessings of the Christian religion in India—to the success which had attended Lis unwearied exertions—and to the deep and general gief, both on the part of Europeans and natives, which had been felt in consequence of his being so sud denly called from the scene of his earthly labours. It was suggested that the fulfilment of the duties of the Diocesan of Calcutta were infinitely beyond the power of any individual, however great might be his physical strength or mental energy ; and that both Bishop Heber and his predecessor, Bishop Middleton, had fallen sacri fices to Its overwhelming cares. Several Resolutions were then proposed, grounded upon the views held out i■ the correspondence, and in compliance with the propositions made, and anxious wishes expressed, by the late Bishop of Calcutta, viz. that a sum of 2,0001. be granted by the Society for the purpose of repairing and enlarging the places of Chris tian worship in Southern India, and the surplus, if any, to be devoted to the erection of new buildings in those districts where they might be most wanted—that 5001. be voted for the extension of the printing office—and that a foundation be established at Bishop's College, Calcutta, for the education of two Scholars for the Church, such foundation to bear the name of the late Bishop Heber r —that a Memorial should be presented to the First Lord of the Treasury, and another to the Board of Control, proposing the appointment of a Bishop to each of the three Presidencies of Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. Archdeacon Boons and Mr. Tagus spoke in high terms of the distinguished merits of the late Bishop Heber. Thanks having been voted to his Grace the Archbishop of Can terbury, for his general attention to the interests of the Bodstr, and for presiding on this occasion, the Meeting separated. A private letter from a Naval Officer of rank on the coast of Africa, describes in strong language the extent to which the Slave Trade is carded on ley the Spanish and Portuguese vessels in the Sights of Benin and Biafra. Instead of the miserable class of vessels which formerly came for slaves, large brigs and schooners of superior dissensions, well fitted, well manned, and, in every sense of the word, well adapted for fighting, are now employed in this de testable traffic; and the writer of the letter states, that if we are serious about the Slave Trade, more ships of war mist be sent to the African atatiom _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ The Jannis on Tuesday held a long sitting at Set jeanu' Inn Hail, in determining Tax-ofike Cars under the As sessed Taxes.

This morning, about four o'clock, a fire broke out in the flax and rope factory of Mr. W. Parsons, at Melks ham. From the combustible nature of the materials and machinery, the progress of the devouring element was such, that notwithstanding every exertion of the assembled multitude, and the aid of the parish engine, it was impossible to arrest its overpowering ravage‘— At seven o'clock nothing was left but the walls and the damaged iron of the machinery, with the exception of the weaving shop (a small part of the whole), the com munication of which with the store-room had been cut off. By this awful calamity, more than 200 people will be for the present thrown out of employment. We un derstand that Mr. Parsons' insurance covers only 20001. while the damage is estimated at 90001. or 10,0001. — Having been particularly busy, some of the men were at work all night; and two of the men hgve been taken into custody, on suspicion of having wilfully set the premi ses on fire. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DICEMBER 6. mus IfEtVIPA111:1111111 V. 11110 DIE arra OTHIMII. Mr. TALFORD opened the pleadings. The declaration charged the defendants, who were the proprietors of the Times newspaper, with the publication of two seve ral libels, of and concerning the plaintiff, in the Times of the 10th of February, and 3d of March last, im puting various acts of cruelty on the part of the plain. tiff towards a younger brother who was an idiot. The defendants had pleaded that they were not Guilty. Mr. CASMELL—Gentlemen of the Jury—lf my Learned Friend had thought proper to read to you the libels in this case, you would have found that they were' of the most atrocious description—they impute to the plaintiff such misconduct, that, if he were guilty of it, he ought to be excluded from all society, for he would be no longer fit so hold up his head in the world. The plaintiff, however, is happy to know, that, while the charges contained in these libels are foul, they are alto gether false—there is not the slightest foundation for them.—Mr. William Smith, the plaintiff, is a respect able farmer, residing in the county of Stafford. He has been injured in this metropolis, and in this metropo lis he comes to seek redress. He is the son of Mr. Isaac Smith, who was a farmer before him. His father had a numerous family, one of whom (George Smith) it had pleased PROVIDENCI should be an idiot from his birth ; he had never been able to distinguish right from wrong; he was deaf and dumb from his birth, and had been subject to violent fiu, which had reduced him to a state of imbecility both of body and mind. About seventeen years ago, his father removed to a place I called Muccleston Wood, in Staffordshire, to which place the idiot was also removed. His father, who was remarkably fond of him, fitted up a comfortable room for him in this new residence, and did everything for him which an affectionate father could do for an unfor tunate son. About three years after hi. removal, the father died. His last words to his son William (the plaintiff), were to treat the unhappy idiot with kindness, and never to send him to a lunatic asylum. The dying injuction of the father was most rigorously observed.— Everything was done to alleviate the misery of the un happy lunatic. His sister, Miss Smith,was particularly at tentive to him—she washed him by day—she washed him by night, and did everything in her power to render him as comfortable as his unhappy situation would admit of. It so happened, that, on the 15th of January last, a secret communication was made by some enemy of the family, to Mr. Broughton, a Magistrate of the neighbourhood, stating, that George Smith, the lunatic, was ill used, by the plaintiff and his family. On receiving this com munication, Mr. Broughton, with two other persons, went to the plaintiff's house, and asked so be allowed to see the lunatic. The plaintiff was from home at the time, and Miss Smith, and another brother, were em ployed in washing and dressing the lunatic. The moment they were disengaged, they came down to the Magistrates, who, after seeing the lunatic, thought it would be prudent that he should be removed to a , Lunatic Asylum. He was accordingly removed, and the Magistrates, he (Mr. Campbell) believed, were now most heartily sorry for their interference. The plaintiff (continued Mr. Campbell) bad preferred proceedings in this case, by action, in order to give the defendants an opportunity of proving, if they could, the truth of the charges contained in the libels. He, however, dared them to justify the libels. He knew that they could not prove the truth of the charges, and they had not attempted to do it. The Learned Counsel, alter making a few other observations, concluded by calling on the Jury to give such damages to the plaintiff, as a com pensation for the injury he had sustained, by the pub lication of the libels in question, as they thought the justice of the case required. The Proprietorship of The Tines being vested in the defendants, and the publication of the alleged libels, were admitted. The libels were read, and evidence was gisen to chew that the statements con tained lb them applied to the plaintiff. Mr. SCARIATT, for the defendants, cross-examined the witness, who was called for this purpose, at great length. He stated that the plaintiff never told him that he (the plaintiff) had recovered damages- in actions which had been tried at Gloucester, against the Bir mingham and Salopian Journals—and that he had got 40W. against one, and INN. against the other. Witness lived nine Miles from the plaintiff's house, and was in the habit of visiting the plaintiff and his family. Saw The limes paper, in which the libels appeared, yester day. Never bad any particular conversation with the plaintiff on the subject of the libels, or of the two actions tried at Gloucester. Mr. SCARLITT addressed the Jury for the defend ant, though he should admit that his Learned Friend, Mr. Campbell, was as competent as any other in the profession to manage this case, yet he looked on his elaborate statement and evidence taken together to be like the fable of the Mountain and the Mouse, much ado about nothing. From his Learned Friend's state ment be expected that a dozen witnesses at least should be examined to prove the facts therein mentioned; but to his great surprise be brought only a single witness, who proved nothing. His Learned Friend had stated that the publication complained of contained a picture so extravagant as outraged probability, and that if represented in the form of a melo-drame on the stage, it abounded with such absurdity, that it would be classed among the same species as the 11 Fairy Tales." Yet, notwithstanding its inconsistency with probability, notwithstanding that it was of such a cha racter. that no person could believe it, his Learned Friend had stated that his client's character bad been ruined by it; but with respect to the real merits of the case, he admitted, with his Learned Friend, that when a publication was likely to excite prejudice, or to inflame the passions, the particular details of a case ought not ittbe published in a Paper which circulated in the neigh bonrhoed, from wh&h the Jury was Wise taken to a cause relating to the subject of that publication; bit he would net go so far as to say that Editors of News papers should refrain from all- remarks on subjects, however atrocious, that were likely to come before ti Jury. If bis Learned Friend's doctrine were true, an Editor of a Newspaper would be liable to be indicted by any thief or robber in the Old Bailey for noticing his committal, if his trial were to take place at any time after such notice. It would be very dangerous to lay it down as a rule that the Press should refrain from ex parte statements in all cases, though he (Mr. Scarlett) would admit, that in several cases such statements would prove injurious. He agreed with his Learned Friend, that libels which affected the honour and character of individuals, whereby they in• awed damages, were fit subjects €•+r actions, though the libellers did not know the individuals, and come• quently could not be influenced by malice; he admit. ted this to the fullest extent, providing damages resulted from such publication ; but no such thing ap peared in this case; the, e was not a tittle of evidence to chew that the plaintiff had sustained any damage by this publication. The plaintiff had brought actions aqd recovered dameges from two newspapers, which cir culated in his own neighbourhood,where he was known, and was likely to sustain an injury from the circular don of such a report; with that he ought to be satisfied. as this was no more than a repetition of the same libels. He (Mr. Scarlett) could not subscribe to the doctrine laid down by his Learned Friend, that, by law. a person might indict another for a libel on a man that was dead. As long as he (Mr. Scarlett) breathed, he would opposo such a doctrine. If any man were to quote a paragraph out of Hume's History of England, reflecting on the character of any df the ancestors of the Jury, according to the principles laid down by his Learned Friend, the man quoting such a paragraph, would be liable to be indicted by any of the posterity of such ancestors as a libeller; the doctrine was too absurd to be entertained for one moment. The Curer BARON, in charging the Jury, observed there could be no doubt the publications in question were libels, and libels of a most atrocious description, calculated to injure the reputation of the plaintiff, for which The Times, though a highly respectable Journal, must be answerable. This, however, was only the opinion of the Learned Judge, because the Jury were not only to decide upon the question of damages, but on the question of libel also. The Jury retired at one o'clock. The Jury having been called into Court at five o'clock, by order of the Judge, his /Lordship asked if they were likely to agree as to their verdict? The Foreman said that they had already agreed as to their verdict, but not as to the amount of damages ; ten of the Jurymen were for giving only onej farthing damages, and two of them. for giving 101. Mr. PLAT% as Counsel for the defendants, consented to divide the el., and to relieve the Court and Jury from further inconvenience, by letting a verdict go for the plaintiff for £5. After some hesita tion the plaintiff's solicitor consented, and a verdict was re. turned accordingly. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sia,—From observing that you have, in every instance, given fair and impartial accounts of the general news from Colombia, I beg the favour of your inserting the following remarks in your estimable Paper. The friends of the Republic of Colombia have seen, with much surprise, and with equal regret, the continual erroneous statements, and comments upon the same, which have been laid before the public, respecting the actual state of that country. Statements of this nature, unfounded in themselves, but borrowing a semblance of truth from the authority of the presto, cannot but prove highly in jurious to the credit of Colombia, and must at the same time tend sensibly to undermine and weaken the good understanding which tt present exists between ourselves and that Republic. To those who are at all acquainted, either with the public or private character of the individual, whose mighty mind has achieved the independence of this growing empire, there can be no doubt bat that his first effort, on resuming the reins of Government, will be to redeem the sacred pledge which has been given to this country and which, in supplying Colombia with "the sinews of way, 4 possesses such strong and lasting claims upon her gratitude.... " Judi atrium parkas" is one of the soundest maxims of the law; and it is but justice, therefore, to Colombia, that the British public should suspend their judgment until ollicial accounts (which may be daily expected) shall arrive, and not suffer themselves to be led away in the interim by reports, fabricated in London, for which there can only be one motive—the aiding and supporting a regular system of Stock-jobbing Imam, Dee. c, ism. --.41110 TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Era--Observing in the Morning Papers the arrival in the Downs of the Haytlan schooner La Union, from St. Domingo, with the remark that this is thefirst vessel under the Haytian flag that has arrived in Great Britain. I beg to notice, that in the Autumn of 1914, a brig under Haytian colours owned at Cape Henry (as it was called then), and commanded by a black man, named Barrett, a Lieutenant in Christophe's Navy, arrived at Plymouth, on her way to London, with a cargo of mem and sugar ; but having received much damage by storms in crossing the Atlan. tic, she ultimately discharged her cargo at Plymouth. The Haytlan *at had long f before that period been seen lying on board the brig Young Roacius and the Alp Lady Esther Stanhope, in Plymouth Sound. W. Saturday, the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND passed through Newcastle trent Laden, for Ainwick Castle. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India Howse° when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their r ve ships ; viz.—Captain Ramses GLAM. POOLS, ; and Captain DAVIS Ras NEWALIS &Well Castle, for Bengal and China. The maltsters an the County of Hereford are about to petition Parliament, to allow them to sprinkle or water barley making into malt, after taken from the cistern, at the expiration of eight days instead of twelve. Accounts have been received from Monte Video, of the 27th of September. The Chilian Beet had arrived on the Eastern Coast of America, and had been spoken with, within two degrees of the River Plate. It is stated, it is the intention of Admiral /how* (who had left Buenos Ayres to join the squadron) immediately to proceed to the coast of Brazil, and declare the whole coast of that country, extending to so many degrees of latitude, under blockade. If this is carried into effect; in addition to the half million of English property seized by the Brazil fleet, and no doubt condemned, we shall probably have three or four times the amount seized by the Republicans cm the coast of Brazil. The Neapolitan war schooner, the Aristides, has arrived at Marseilles from Naples. This vessel had specie on beard to the extent of 100,0004 and on Satur day last Mr. ROTHSCHILD offered a premium of ten guineas per cent. on her, for sea and enemies' risk; both at Lloyd's and at the Alliance Marine Insurance Office. but no insurance could be effected on her. Her safe arrival. therefore, saves 10,000 guineas to this eminent Capitalist.
