"You have heard these affidavits ;do Youi now with for time to answer them; and oit *hal grounds?" . • ~ .t I _ l Sirßobert Steele—Assuredly I do , my Lor d ; but do not see bow I can answer them at the present assizes, The pasty who was actually present at the, greater p#4 Of dos proceedings alluded , to in these affidavits,. is 4 military Gentleman, who is at present at Portsmouth; hod he could give a total contradiction to the affidavit saftkh the unfortunate Lady Astley has been induced to Meer. .I havedikevrise I letter, written to me by Mr. Howard (who has made osse of these affidavits), who is Captain Garth's attorney, subsequent to my.return to the country, which I am anxious to put into the handl of the Court. The Counr —Sir Robert, if you can shew, by any affi 'davit, that you know and believe you can put in an answer to the affidavits which have been read against you, and must have further time for preparing it, you shall have that delay. Sir Robert Steele—l am quite ready to do that, My Lord. Mr. Sergeant WUXl—But at least More entitled to expect that he will swear he believes he pin g ive ad answer to them. If he does this, on the pertof Captain Garth sir have no objection to the requisite delay. At the same time, we ought to have the assurance that stab an answer is likely. Sir Robert Steele declared his pet feet readiness to make the strongest affidavit which Captain Garth'p Counsel could dictate; but upon being informed that he must resort to a solicitor of his own for that "purpoie, he retired from Court with that view, and returned'! half an hour, with an affidavit, which set forth, that the affidavits made by Thomas Garth,.Esq. E. J. Howard, and Lady Asiley, were full of erroneous and Moe). lons aspersions upon his (defendant's) character, and that he should prove such to be the fact if allowed time to get the affidavit of Edward Jonathan Steele, who had been continually with him, and Dame GeorgiansAstley, 1 dining Captain Garth's absence in the country. That affidavit, he swore, would be most material for his in-' truer, and calculated to remove the unfavourable ins presSion of his conduct which the other affidavits were calculated to•convey. 'Mr. Sergeant WILDE put in a counter affidavit of Captain Garth, in which the latter deponed,' that Mr. E.:Jonathan Steele had already,, as he was Inforaied 'tad believed, made some affidavit respecting the con 'aikt ,of Lady Astley, before the Mayor of Weyinoutb, • its cog of which cipt . . , Garth hid in vain endeavoured to obtain; but this torFirsisitnee skewed that the de pendant could 'not twie bile taken inpripared, as the perUm whose inforMation he now said he:wanted had already made himself busy in the matter, in the, Was% ritready stilted. Thi 'learned Sergeant complained, is • strong terms, orthe cooiseperiued by the defendant cia the present occasion. He had never given noiicetoibt eiresecutor of his intention to plead guilty, fiat ? ' on the contrary, allowed him to proceed to all the expense of preparation for trial, and had compelled Lady' Miley to attend the Assizes, though she was in a bad state of . health, and though he could have had no occasion whatever for her attendance. Was this like the con duct of a man who felt he had any defence to make,er that he could arrange any claim for indulgence ? Ths Court could not, he (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) was persuade 4 accede to a proposition for postponement of judgment' under such circumstances as these. 'll it were granted, the consequence might be that this course of libel. lous publication would be resumed until the next Assizes—that is, nine months' time would be allowed for the further promulgation of libels, to an individua) who had already liberally availed himself of the oppon. tunity which had occurred since she or i g in of this trans action. Why did not Mr. E. Jonathan Steele corn forward this day with affidavits, as he had done tiefoik the Mayor of Weymouth, and endeavour to perform . the .service for the defendant, at the time he shots . se, which it was nowsaid be was likelytodo at! tato ..' via? ittileed,:sO litfle 'pre . pared-wruirtairi gm r the course taken on the present Ociiiims tiftba' or dent, that he had not had any 'affidavits Prepared i i te m i; ; . and It was only Mlle Utarse'of the moiAlin that, at ting upon a wisiiparlhat . the defeirant Wool - -- - • - ' * thleilistiof i r il L a .v, prosecutor. and said of the expense he had pui the pro.ecutor. - par ; ticulatly the bringing down Lady Astley to Dorset shire, he bad this answer to make—that the advisere of the Lady had given her all thispouble; for when her Solicitor had written to him to say, that unless the money for het; travelling expenses were lodged, she would not attend the suisrana, and when he had not remitted any money f r that purpose. he concluded that she would not have taken the trouble of coming down'. His original object in subpoenaing her, was to obtaid evidence which he thought material for his defence; but when he had abandonecrthe idea of acceding to the deposit required by her Solicitor, he bad no idea she would have been brought down. He had already stated the reasons why he had pleaded guilty; and at to the delly being intended to defeat justice, he had to assure the Coin that he had no idea of producing' new affidavits, until his Lordship informed him that be might do so. Mr. Justice BURROUGH again reiterated his recom mendation to the defendant to abstain from publiihing any vittiperatire.matter connected with this trial until he was brought op for judgment. If he ventured upon it, he would feel the folly of his proceeding in the sp• irisafion of his puniShment. If the prosecutors pub• fished,. then they Would feel the same result to attend their interests when the judgment wai pronounced. It, was then decided that Captain Garth Uflossid have a fortnight from this date to file new affidavits, ii be thought proper; that the defendant dunild be idlovred a month alter that fortnight. to answer them; and that in the case of one pet son Who Wks out of the collar'', tile same time (brie months should be allowed Captain Garth for procuring his affidavit, giving notice of the same to the defendant.

He did not see the blind tin after the clock was thrown on the pavement. He bad since measured the height of the blind, and found it was aft feet four inchei from the pavement. The da mage done to the clock was 555. Mr. Mende', in his defence, stated that the blind was sulticlently high to allow any person to walk under it; and that it waft owing to the negligence of the complainant that the clock was thrown from his bead. Sevetal'Aidernien and City OM:era were in the habit of constantly walking under the blind, and never objected to it. The ALDRIMAN observed, that the Alderman and City Officers were not in the habit of carrying loads on their beads. The Act of Parliament was referred to, wad it was found that " any obstruction of the pavement" was subject to a fine of Si.

UNION-HALL An old veteran, named John Donovan, belonging to the East India Company's service, applied for relief to assist him on his way to Ireland. He stated, that on the 26th ult. he landed at Ports mouth, from Bengal, after nineteen years service in that part of the world. He had twenty sovereigns, Which were paid him by the Paymaster, in his pockets when he landed at i'ortsmouth Point, but he had not been many hours on shore before he was robbed of every farthing; and as Paymaster, Officers, invalids, and all, had taken their departure previously, he bad no other alternative left Rhea to march up to town as well as be could.

The sth of August is genet-10y the day on those highly-esteemed shell-fish are annually ilittnduced to the metropolis. As the sth this year was on eitind4y; the bustle and activity at Billingsgate was postponed to Monday morning. Those Who wish to be well ac quainted with the habits of the people of London, end to obtain a knowledge of the means by which they earn their bread, should walk to Billingsgate at the torn : mencement of the Oyster Season. Tne scene if a very extraordinary one; the avenues to the Dock, sChere the oyster boats arrive, and where the article is told by the bushel, are closely blockaded by lines of carts and car. riages, which generally extend over London Bridge. At the purchasers often, at great risk and personal injury, succeed in getting their oysters lions the Smacks, they bring the article to the carts, and lose no time in con veying it east, west, north, and south of London. In a few hours, millions of oysters are spread in tempting profusion io every street in London and the suburbs. —The oyster season is hailed by .the industrious, as the commencement of their prtifit and prosperity, and thousands of poor are supported by it.. The trade in oysters is of van importance in the view of a Legislator, and all those who study the want s an d interests of the community. Indeper.dently of the comfort and profit it brings to the Metscipotis, oyster dredgers and their midterms. families along tits coast of Kent find their employment. The manner in which these dredgers labour in their calling is worthy ' attention. The oyster dredgers of Feversharn form a Corporation, regulated b f a code of their own laws, A portion of their profits is reserved to purchase spat, or young oysters, from other beds to replenish and is. prove their own. All th* oyster fisheries in the Med. way are regulated by the Statute, and a Court is kept for that purpose annually at Rochester, where a Jeri of Free dredger men make rules and orders, whoa Oysters shall be taken, and what quantity daily, and Other regulations for improving the brood. By the 10M of Geo. U. a dthy of seven-pence per bushel is laid upon oysters ilisported from France. The manner of working the beds afford* the spectator in fine weather pleasant amusement. Some, time before the sea tide swells the river, the vessels or smacks intended let the London market are anchored abreast the oyster grounds. The dredgers in ;heir boats are dispeived over the whole fishery, and the scene becomes one of a ctive industry. The dredgers, with a sort of net snide of leather, and bound with iron, soon fill their boats, and remove the oysters to the anchored smack, which receives them in her hold. When.she is full, up goo her anchor, the sails are trimmed, and having - enure' the Thames, she makes the best of her way to Billings. gate Market. Thus the good folks of London ate supplied from the Medway, and that part of the coast of Kent which the Romans named Rutupia (Ridabo• rough), and from whence they conveyed oysters to Rome. How they were kipt fresh, and in a state to please the palate of the Roman epicure, history does not inform us. Melton is now celebrated for the most de. licious oysters; and the natives, as they arecalled, cows from Colchester. Although the trade begins in the present month, oysters are not considered to have the best flavour before September. Wednesday, Harry Dent Goring. Esq. widest eon d Se C. F. Goring.
