~. i LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jim 1. MILLESLILY V. THI DUKE OP ISAVTOIRT. Mr. HORNE said, that in the case of " Wellesley v. the Duke of Beaufort," his Lordship might recollect that in the ciourse of the discussion a Lady of the name of Bligh had been introduced, whose character and con duct bad been strongly commented upon by certain affi davits, particularly by a Gentleman named Bulkeley. The Lady alluded to was the member of a most res pectable family ; and her attention having been parti cularly drawn, by what had passed in this Court, to these affidavits, she conceive] it was a duty which she owed to herself, and (as his Lordship would probably think also, upon perusing her affidavit) to the Court, to make an affidavit in answer to those parts of the affida vits he had referred to, which contained statements to her prejudice. He therefore begged leave to hand up to his Lordship an office copy of her affidavit. The Lean CHANCELLOR informed Mt. Hart that he had got the long affidavit, which he was good enough to hand in the other day on the part of Mr. Welle-ley. He wished ti know it they were aware on the salter side that this affidavit had been made ? Mr. HART replied, that a notice to that effect bad been served upon them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that when Mr. Shad well came into Court, he would be glad it he would in form him whether Mr. Pitman had made any further affidavit, or intended to make any? Mr. HARI. stated that a letter had been sent to him by a distinguished member of the family, with an inti mation that it should be forwarded to his Lordship ; but he (Mr. Hart), in the exercise of his discretion, de: clined presenting it. The LORD CNANCELLOR observed, that if Mr. Shad well would inform him as to whether or not Mr. Pit man would make any further affidavit, he thought be should be able to dispose of this case early in the en suing week. Mr. HART said that the object of the letter which he had mentioned was to make it known that the situation in which Mr. Wellesley stood with respect to the best part of his family was not such as had been represented to his Lordship. The Loao Cualcia.coa told Mr. Hart that he should be glad to have an aildavit to that effect. Mr. Saaai►aic, upon coining into court subsequently, begged to hand in the affidavit of Mr. Pitman. IN THE MATTER 01 SIR GREGORY PAGE TURNER. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he saw no reason to prevent him from complying with the wish of •Sir Gregory Page Turner to have his case retried. He would therefore be glad to see Sir Gregory to-morrow morning, and if a writ of habeas corpus was necessary to enable him to attend him, he wished to be under stood as now marking an order to grant one. His Lordship having to attend the Recorder's report, rose early COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jung 1. THE RING V. GEORGE HARRISON. Mr. CAMPBELL, together with Mr. RUSSELL and Mr. Jaavls, were heard in opposition to a rule Nisi to oe verse the verdict given in favour of the Crown, •and to have a new trial in this case, which was an info. oration in the nature of a Quo Warranto, calling upon the de fendant to shew by what authority he exerci,el the office of Mayor of the City of Chester, it being alleged by the relator that the election of the defendant was not in all respects conformable to the Charter of Henry the Seventh,. which was the governing Charter of the Corporation ; and the validity of the election being in sisted on by the defendant as borne out by imme morial'u,age. Mr. Tauuroti wu proceeding to reply, but the Court deferred the hearing of the further arguments iu the case to a future day. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. JUNII. 'WICKER V. GILLESPIS. This was an action upon a charter patty, to recover the balance of the freight of a cargo of deals from Que bec to London. The charter party stated, that a certain price per hundred for freight was to be paid upon the St. Petersburgh standard admeasurement. The question raised was important to the shipping interest, and was to establish the principle by which the freight of deals and staves was regulated. That question was raised by it being contended, on the one hand, that deals wet e to be measured to every six inches in length ; and, on the other hand, that six inches was not an accustomed measure, but.the custom was, if a deal measured &even feet six inches long, it was called eleven feet ; if eleven feet eight inches, it was called• twelve feet ; and a simi lar custom prevailed as to the thickness and width, and the like as to staves. For the plaintiff it was contended, that, in strictness, he was entitled to every inch ; whereas, for the defend ant, it was contenJed, the St. Peterlburgh Standard consisted of 120 in number, 12 feet long, and l thick, and in estimating the quantity, the measurement was ri:ade according to the custom stated, and the freight pia upon the quantity so estimated. There was she a claim for wharfage and money expended for the use of the defendant. Verdict on the usage for the defendant; and for the whatfaEe fur th• plaintiff, fur the money expended. The Dank of Engi ind gave offi id information yes. te: dap, that the future payments on the New Scrip would be paid for the holders, by allowing that establishment five per cent. per annum for the advance. The inhabitants of the hilly region near Congleton were, on Monday, astonished by the descent of a splen did balloon. There was no one in it, but there were the remains of a bottle u hich had contained wine, and some biscuit. It is evident some one had ascended in it, but how he or ibex got out of it still remains to be seen. Wednesday, soon after nine, as Mr. Curtis, of Dalston, was passing along the Kingsland-road, opposite Shore ditch workhouse, having his umbrella over his head, a fellow endeavoured to take it from him ; a scufß • en sued; another came up, and snatched a valuable s leer hunting watch from his pocket, and a gold seal, with the initials " J. C," on it. They made their escape. Ting WONDERFUL WELL.—Almost every town in Alma has its charm or wonder, and Tegerby is not without one. There is a well just outside the castle gates, the water of which, we are told most gravely, 4 ' always rose when a kafila was coming ne tr the town! that the inhabitants always prepared what they had to sell on seeing this water increase in bulk, for it never deceived them! In proof of this assertion they pointed out to me how much higher the water had been previous to our arrival than it was at the moment we were standing on the brink. This I could have explained by the number of camels that had drunk at it ; but I saw it was better policy to believe what every' body allowed to be true : even ,800 Khalodm exclaimed+ 41 Allah God is great, powerful, and.grise! hOw wonder dui ! oh!"

In the Sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, 29th May, the Order of the Day was the discussion of the Budget of the Minkter of the Interior. In the course of the debate, M. Royer Collard took occasion to bring for wara the subject of the Censorship of the Press. Ac cording to Art. 4. of the Law of 17th March, 1822, " If, in the interval of the Sessions, serious cir cum standes (circoastances graves)sbluld render the measure , of guarantee and repression for a moment ineffectual, the Censorship may be immediately re-established by a Royal Ordinance." The Speaker explained at length his view of the meaning of the L.sw, and endeavoured to shew th,tt the serious circumstances intended were great events—great troubles—extraordinary cases, which could not be fore. seen—and not the license or abuse of the Liberty of the Press; and, in fine, the Censorship has nothing at all to do with the state of the Press. The Minister of the Interior and NI. Benjamin Con stant having spoken on the subject, the Minister of the Interior replied to the latter as follows I do not think it necessary to reply to the principles laid down by the last speaker. It is not the Ministry, but the Law, which has established the theory of preventative mea- , sures. What ate serious ci camstances ? they mean troubles—catastrophes? Must they have actually af• rived, or should they be prevented ?" His Excellency thinks it better to check the cause than the eff.ct, and this is the object of the Law. g , As for the assertion of the Speaker, that if the Censorship is restored, it will be for the sake of the Ministers, it • may be asked, what Ministry has ever borne with more importunity the attacks of the Journals ? None. The Ministers have therefore practised what they recom mended when Deputies. If they ask the execution of the laws, it is not for themselves. They have proved that they did not fear the liberty, or even the abuses of the Press. When they are attacked, justly or unjustly, they have also the means of defending themselves.—, But the question is very different. It is the public order which may be endangered. In this case they must not i hesitate till the evil s-accomplished, but use the pre ventive measure which the Law has laid down."— Ad journed till the following day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Batawroc, May 31.—The match between Midhurst, with the two Broadbridges, Saunders given, and the Club of this place, commenced on 'rebind's Royal Ground, on Monday, with the odds much iu favour of the former, who niade play, by taking their first innings, and were all put out alter gaining forty-eight runs. The innings of the Home Club followed, and concluded with thirty-nine runs, leaving nine runs iu favour of their adversaries, and whose second innings, yesterday morning, involving forty-three runs merely, left them in advance fifty two. The . Home Club *then gained lifty-three runs, but with five wickets down, consequently they won the match ' and bad five wickets to spare. The advantage gained is attributed to the superior bowling of Lilliwhite and Lanaway, on the Brighton side. In the first innings, James Broad. bridge was run out, after gaining fourteen runs—he commenced the, second innings, and preserved his wicket to the last; but the excel. lent bowling prevented his doing much. Saunders, in both innings, was bowled out by LiUiwhite, having gained seven runs in the former, and three in the latter. The odds were four to one against Brighton on the second slay. The triumph on the home side has been decisive and complete. Monday a match at this manly and health creating game, was played between the 3latichester Cricket Club and the Officers of the 60th Rifie‘Corps, now quartered there. Lord W. Graham, of the 24 Dragoon Guards, was umpire for the Military Gentlemen, and Mr. Henry Birch for the townamea.

BRITISH CATHOLIC A SSOCI A ?lON Yester d ay, the Annual Meeting of the Subscribers and friends to the above Society was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand; the Duke of Norfolk in the Chair. There were present Lords Clifford and Stafford ; Hons. Mr. Jerningham, Mr. Clifford, Philip Stourt• , n, and Edward Petre ; Sir Edward Blount, William Ge rard, Edward Smythe, Mr. Howard, of Corby, &c. &c. The Chairman addressed the meeting at considerable length ; after which the Report of the Committe was read by the Secretary, Mr. Blount, and approved on , the motion of the Hon. Mr. Pate. Lord Clifford, Dr. Collins, Lord Stafford, and several others, then ad- 1 dressei the meeting, and proposed a variety of reA)lu dons, which %vete severally adopted. Mr. Fiepch, a Ban iver, an the Committee for the ensuing year being named, objected to the name of one Gentleman, and in allusion to a spa.ch he made at a recent meeting at Newcastle, called him a blasphemer. The Gentleman immediately rose, and asked if the observation was meant personaily ? Mr. French attempted to explain, but could not obtain a hearing. A scene of confusion then ensued that bodies description, during which the terms "liar" and "coward" were applied by Mr. French Ito a Gentleman present. The Chairman in vain en deavoured to restore order, and declared repeatedly that . l he would quit the chair if order was not restored. At length something like comparative order was obtained, and the remainder of the busineu was gone through.) RUSSIAN ANTIQUITIES. Some workmen, on diggiitt theough a monad for a . fiendation, in one of the burying pieces situated. be tween the new Lutheran Church of Odessa and the barracks nearest to that church, having dug to the depth of an arsh 'en and a half, remarked a place where the earth, which appeared to have been shaken, exhi bited an ancient opening filled up; they continued digging, and following this indention, at the depth of an al sheen, they discovered three steps cut out in the clay, which terminated in a so►t of mine, or hollow place, in which they found the bones of a human skele ton, near the head of which was placed a domestic vase of potter's earth, in the shape of a mug or milk pot, six vershocks high ; and by the side of this skeleton a sort of sword. broken into a quan:ity of pieces, with some fragments of the handle of it, of tie same metal, the whole entirely rusted, oxydated, and decomposed. The bones found in this tomb were mixed with some ruins of planks of a wood decomposed, cf the colour and specific lightness of a fungus. On digging through a second hill, of the same pro portions as the first, the result of the discovery was two sk letons, near to which were gathered together some little ornaments, in copper or bronze, strongly lazy dated : a gr iin of glass, or vitrified paste. 01 a bluish colour ; with some little ornaments, of a whitish colour, which might have belonged to a necklace, or to an ear ring ; and some fragments of a vitrified substance, offering divers shades of blue. The total absence of any sort of masonry in these two tombs prevented the, , workmen and those who watched these mounds from distinguishing and gathering together the parcels and little fragments confounded with the shaken earth, and falling from these sepultures. In short, although this discovery furnishes a new proof of an ancient estab lishment of the port of OJessa of the pr'esent day, which was supposed to be the anchorage called by the Periple of Arrien, as also by that of the anonymous author of htrianon. Lisnin,* it is very likely that the creek called by this name, instead of offering to the mind the appearance of an opulent city, served only to inform us that it was the place of anchot age for the in habitants of the town of 'suns, on the Danobvi-, as they coasted along the southern shore of the Eusine, and only inhabited by mariners, without cultivation, living on the produce of their fishery, and by the herding 01 their cattle. The vase of which mention is made is depsited in the Museum of Odessa. The blackish specks upon this vase appear to have been the conse quence of the humidity of the soil, where it had been buried during so many ages. The digging continues. • Vide Preface to the Notice on Olbia, which accompaniesihe Catalogue of Medals of Odessa. t The town of Istria was sacked abogt the middle of the last century before the Christian era, previous to the irruption of the Daces, or of the Getes, of which Dion, in his Chris.

By the 17th Geo. 11. cap. 5. persons who are so far disordered in their senses, that they may be dangerous to be permitted to go abroad, may be apprehended, and locked up in some secure place, and the charge of their maintenance, if their estate be not sufficient for the support of their families, shall be defrayed by the parish to which they belong. Under this Swine, tl.e Rev. Mr. Hewitson applied yesterday to have his son.in.law, a young man named Geo. Leame, wboselather was a merchant; in Broad.street, taken care of. He had once been in Bethlein Hospital for a year, and latterly his mind had appeared to be in a state of irritation. About a fort night ago he tried to strangle his mother • and on Wednesday night, •finding he was about to be taken into th e country with the test of the family, he attempted to run away, but was stopped. Bere,ford, the Clerk, observed, that since the prisoner had attacked his mother, he had been living quietly with his friends, and therefore some more recent mischievous intention should have been adduced.—The Rev. Gentleman said, his Curacy produced hint but 701. a year, and he could not, out of that, maintain the prisoner in a Private Asylum. Sir,Cits Ruts Fumes dismissed him, swing that he could do nothing with him,-but deliver him to his friends. BOW-STREET. Wednesday evening a person named William Collins, who has lived for some time in good style in the Clapham-Toad, was charged by Colonel Camae, with defrauding him of a sum of 1,7001. Mr. ADOLPIOUS, as Counsel fur Colonel Camac, stated that the defendant, having given out that he had interest mfficient to procure the return of a Gentleman to Parliament, and Colonel Camac being desirous of obtaining a seat in the Honourable House, an introduc tion took place through the medium of Mr. Wells, the Colonel's solicitor. At that interview the defendant stated that a Gentleman of the name of Pitts was the present High &eward (representative) of hlalmesbury, in Wiltshire; but that the Aldermen and Bur gesses were extremely anxious to get rid of him, and return some Gentleman who would be Inclined to enter mote cordially into their views of certain subjects. It happened, however. that Mr. Pitts %ad lent the Corporation 1,700/. for which be held their bonds, and of cour.e had them somewhat in his power. New if any Gentleman could be found who would advance that sum, and release the Corpo ration from their obligation to Mr. Pitt., the majority of that body, whose influence was so great as to be certain of carrying any measure (originating with them, would guarantee the return of the indivi dual who would furnish the beforementioned sum, and who should himself hold the bond as a security for his money. This offer ap peared so very advantageous that Colonel Camac had no hesitation in accepting it; and after several interviews, the nature of which would be detailed in evidence, the Colonel was induced to give a cheque upon his banker for the . 17001. which the defendant received 'at Messrs. Drummond's. Subsequently. however, the Colonel discovered that the defendant had not the interest which he pretended to bare in the Borough of Malmesbury, and that instead of applying the money to the purpose for which it was expressly advanced, he bad appropriated it to his own use and benefit. It would, in convenient time. be proved that the pre tences made use of by the defendant were false in every particular; but, at present, from the distance at which the necessary witnesses resided, he (Mr. Adolpbus) would only be able to make out a prinsafacie case, so as to warrant the Magistrates in committing the defendant for re-examination. Mr. Wells was then sworn. His evidence went to support the representation made by the defendant ofbis influence in the borough of Malmesbury, anci of the payment of 1,7101. by Colonel Came by a draft on Drummond's bank, which sum the defendant said he had paid over to the Burgesses. After some discussion, the further bearing of the case was deferred to an early day in the nett week. Two bucks, fashionably dressed, were charged with having rudely intruded themselves into the house of Mr. Baldey, of Russell-street, Covent-Garden, saying," We hope we don't intrude—just dropped in to inquire after the Ladies." They behaved in the most outrageous manner, not only toward the people of the house, hut to the Police °Meer who was sent for on the occasion. At length they were secured, and sent to the watch-house and on being brought before the Magistrate yesterday, w e re orde red to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. They gave their names as Henry Steven ion and Henry Isaacs. The former described himself as a merchant, the latter as noihing. M A R LBO RO UG lI.StREET. A Mr. raters, father of the proprietor of the One Tun Tavern, In Jermyn-street, appeared on a peace warrant, before F. A. Roe, Riq. yesterday, at the instance of Mr. Roster, a Gentleman said to b e wail known in the rage wise* circles. Mr. Rosier deposed, that he was walking down .Grosvenor place on a certain day, when he became aware of the defendant coming towards him in a gig. Ile took no notice of the defendant, either by word or deed, but the defendant thought proper to alight from his gig, and inform this deponent of the had opinion he, the said defendant, entertained of 'him, in. very unpolite and no very measured terms ; and he c onc l u d e d his observations by holding up his fist in a menacing attitude, and telling this deponent he would knock his head off his iihnlalders ; and under these circumstances, Mr. Regier hoped the Magistrates would prevtin such art unplea sant threat from being carried into execution, by making Mr. Waters And bail to keep OA peace towards him. to reply to this, Mr. Waters attempted to justify, on the gros•,4 that Mr. Rogier pertinaciously /*ridged to pestering Mitt wits letters, although he had been repeatedly told he was throwing hit labour away—and it was on condition, that if be still persisted in so doing, hat his head was to be knocked of The subject of these letters, and the cause of this afair, was not asked, and therefore did not appear. Young :dr. Waters; of the One Tun Tavern, then became surety for Mr. itogier's bead, and the parties withdrew. WOILSIIIP-STRICET. Charles Wilson, the young man who was tried at the late Old Bailey Sessions for a burglary and robbery, of which his companions, Savage and Scofield, were convicted, was brought before Mr. Ties C Jan, yesterday, and committed for trial on a charge of felony. Since Wilson'i acquittal at the Sessions, he has been in custody no a charge of robbing his father, who eferntined on prosecuting him, hoping, that by so doing, his son might, for a time at least, be with. drawn from his vicious associates, and a stop put to his career of crime ; but the old totes resolution had subsequently yielded to • parental feelings, and young Wilson was once more let loose u r :i society, on Tuesday last. The crime for which he is now to he put on his trial is for stealing a quantity of linen, the property of :U,• William Walden, stable-keeper, of Islington. It had been left ii 4 the stable yesterday morning, in order to its being washed, bu!, about one o'clock, the prisoner entered the stable, packed the linen into a bundle, and was making off with it, when be was observed and pursued. In his flight he threw down the bundle, and con cealed himself among the weeds, by the side of the New River, but was discovered, and dragged from his concealment by the per son vibe had pursued him. He was fully committed to Newgate. MARY-LA-BONNE. R. Dion, who is stated to have been Managing Clerk to to Attorney, was remanded, charged with forging an acceptance fo r bill for lit drawn on Mr. Culverwell, a tailor, in Great Mary-k. bonne.street. Wednesday ntght a man presented a letter at the house of Dr. Watson, In Conduft.street, addressed to the Doctor's mother-in law, which, he said, required an answer; and while waiting for that purpose, contrived to purloin same plate from the pantry. Yester day, the Doctor having a dinner party, required an extra waiter, and instantly, on a person entering the house for that purpose, the Doctor's servant positively stated, that he was the thief. He was accordingly brouiht to this othce ; but on establishing a clear alik, was discharged. _ _ UNION-HALL Wag yesterday crowded with Licensed Victuallers,who had suffered from th• depredations of a young man, who stated his name to be Aka Mutlda. The only case at present gone into against the prisoner, was this— On the night of the 24th of May, having obtained a bed at Mrs. Haynes's, who keeps a public house in the Commercial Read, he retired to rest; and, the following morning, the sheets on which he had slept being missed, he was pursurd, and taken into custody. On searching him, the property was found, tied up in a handkerchief. The parties were bound over to give evidence against him. TOW N. H A L L. Yesterday a Lady of fashionable appearance, residing in King_ street, St. George's-fields, whose husband is under confinement in the King's Bench prison, attended at this office with a sightly young girl of 12 years of age, her servant, of the name of llarriett Sputgin, for the purpose of lodging information of the following circumstance, which occurred on Tuesday last in the King's Bench prison. The girl was sent on a message to her master, and was returning, when she was asked to go of an errand for one of the prisoners ; she consented, and was shown to a room at the back part of the prison, in which were three men, two of whom left upon her enter ing, when a third, James Townsend, locked the door, threw her down, and attempted the violation of her person, but was prevented effecting his brutal purpose by the interference of several persons, drawn to the spot by her shrieks. She was afterwards taken to Dr. Coultberd, in the Southwark-road, and found to have been treated with much violeuce. The depositions having been signed, and the oath administered, a warrant was granted against Townsend, and intrusted to Reeves, the marshalmau, to lodge at the prison. As Mr. John Trott, a respectable tradesman (a school-slate =a. nufacturer) was pursuing his avocations in his one.horse chaise cart along the Borough, on Wednesday, his progress was suddenly arrested by two itiformen, of the names of Gear and Chley,and taken by them before the sitting Alderman, Sir J. J. Siam at the Town Hall; for not having his name, place of abode, and number. on the outside of his vehicle. Upon examination, dr. Trott stated that he paid duty for his property as a two-wheeled carriage, and that he was exempt from any penalty as regards omissions with re spect to taxed carts, his being none. The worthy Alderman postponed the full hearing of the case,glving Mr. T. an opportunity of producing his tax receipt, till yesterday, when he attended, with Mr. Putley, cutler, of the Borough High -street, the Collector of the Assessed Taxes, who prayed Mr. T. having paid his two. wheeled carriage duty, and the proper receipt was, in confirmation, produced by Mr. T. In addition. Mr. Putley produced the Act of 4 Geo.

The two Churchwardens, Mr. HALL and Mr. DEXTER, took the Chair, and gave several general and parochial toasts, which were re ceived with unmixed satisfaction by the guests over whom they presided. A shocking occurrence took place at Brighton, on Tuesday night last. A party, chiefly composed of musicians, who had been brought hither to enliven the approaching election, were dining at the Old Tree, when some dispute arose between Humphrey White and John Williams, in relation to some family affairs, in which Williams used some expressions which irritated White, who swore if the exp:essions were repeated, he would stob Williams to the heart. Williams again re peated the words, on which White struck him 4 furious blow on the left breast with a large case knife. The unfortunate man instantly fell into the arms of the per sons near him, who called in surgical aid, and conveyed him to bed, where he lies in a dangerous state. It is said the parties were both intoxicated at the time.— White was conveyed to gaol.
