Saaegymno Ngw.-.There is a stream in Roxburgh shim, of the name of the Liddel (the Americans laugh heartily at our notions of a rises), which after flowing soutliward. forms the boundaty with England for five miles, till it enters the Esk above Loogtown, and which Armstrong has celebrated in the following lines: Liddel till now, except in Doric lays. Tuned to her rnurroors by her love-sick swains, UnknoWn in song, though not a purer stream Rolls to the western man."

The dizzying mill wheel and lying shaft were perfectly sound in their cog. and awes, and at'the sluices were. up, and the dam head entire, the man became more and more astonished, particularly when he learnt that both above and below his domicile the neighbours had water. while be had none. Even the trouts at certain shallow parts might have been caufht with the hand in place of the rod: and were seen lashing the gravel with their tails. and protesting as loudly as fishes can do, against the withdrawal of their native ele ment. The phenomenon, in fact. was fitted to puzzle the wisest brad, and the only solution we have heard of it is, that the bed of the Liddel is composed of limestone, and chat in all probability some fissure bad widened or cavern opened, and thus absorbed its waters, till the voile: was filled. Half a century ago, there was no "Library of Useful Knowledge, and if rivers at that time bad conceived the whim of pausing in their coarse, the merry men of Lisldesdale of another generation, would have surmised that the world was near an end, or that some great judgment-was about to happen. What, perhaps. is snore probable, " the genii of the fell," would have come in for the whole blame, and perhaps some seer might- even have alleged, that a great fi re bad broken out an Fairyland, and that the .4 gide folk," in place of opening a plug at hordes and wearying themselves with working fire-engines, bad poked a bole in the earth under the Liddel. smothering the flames and irrigating their fields, at the same time, by a cataract rivaThos in parspesdic the Ascii! ma wing of the folio of Me s i t a I r t al . cowrie,.

(with whom was Mr. HOLT) stated that this was an action for an assault, brought by the plaintiff against a Sheriff's officer and his assist ant. The plaintiff resided with his father, a very re spectable man, who had a house in the New read. Be , tween six and seven o'clock, in a morning of t' e month of June, 1827, the defendants 'came to the house, and seeing the plaintiff io the garden, they asked whether his father was at home • to which the plaintiff replied that he was not. They ;hen asked whether he had left a message for a Mr. Jones. The plaintiff said he did not know, but he would inquire of his sisters, and en tered the house for that purpose, followed by the men. He went up to the door of the bedroom of his four sisters. and asked the question whether his father had left any messagifor Mr. Jones, and was answered that he had nor. The men thee stated that they had awt .t against Biagg, the faiher, and attempted to enter the sisters room to search for him. The plaintiff put out his hand to prevent them, requesting them to wait for five - minutes, that his sisters might have an oppos y of dressing themselves. The officers, without any other provocation, dragged the plaintiff into another r - om, knocked him down, beat, bruised, and kicked him for half an hour together, till he became insensible. Two of the sisters hearing the cries of the plaintiff, r ame down in their night dress, and begged of the efficeis not to ' mender their brother,_and then one of the defendants gave one of the sisters a blow on the cheek. The sisters sent for a constable, who, on his arrival, found the plaintiff lying ia a state of insensibility on the finrir, bleeding at the mouth, and with his head and face bruised and swoln. The officers, however. thought proper to charge the plaintiff with an assiult, and in attempt to obstruct them in the. execution of their iltry, and gave bim in charge to the constable, wit , as they insisted on it, agreed to take him before a Mag istrate at eleven o'clock, as at that tine lie did not think the plaintiff in a condition to accompany him. It would be for the Jtiry to say, when he should have proved his case,. what damages they ought to give for this nits t wanton and aggravated assault. As he might possibly have an opportunity cf addressing the Jury again on this case, he would merely, in the meantime, make this observation. It was absolutely necessary that all should submit to the authority of the law; because, without this, there was no safety to person or propeity, and those who came armed whir the authority of the law ought to be implicitly obeyed, in as far as they were authorised in their proceedings by the law. But as it was necessary that those charged with the execution of legal process should be aimed with great p .wets, by so much the more was it necessary that they should be confined within the limits of their powers; and for that reason, When officers in the execution of legal process grossly overstepped their due limits, and were guilty of wanton and unriecessaty violence and cruelty. Juries were very properly in the habit of visiting them-ssi h much mire serious dam. es than if the case had heels one of ordinary assault, ari•ing out of a casual and suds den quarrel. L-aving that observation to their consi. deration, he would proceed to call his tigresses. John Window-4o June, 1827, was living in the service of Mr. Bragg, in the New Road; one motnin; in that month and year, as the plaintiff, Mr. Bragg s sin, was in the garden of the premis-s. Levi and N.. than, the defendants, came to him. at About hal' past six o'clock, and asked whether Mr. Birigg, the tattier, was at home? the plaintiff said that he was ni t ; p!aintiff wet born the hinise, and the men followed I im; tie went to his sisters' bed room and asked, -in com pliance with a question by 'he bailiffs, whether any mes sage had been le't for Mr. Jones; one of his sisters opened the deor a bate, sand said then was nut. The bailiff' then insisted on going into the bed mom of plaintiff's sisters, and the plaintiff desired them to wait hot five minutes till the sisters should be dressed. Trey wid they would nor, and who n the plaintiff attempted to prevent their entrance, one cf the bailiffs (N than) knocked him down, and Levi and Nathan dragged him intlianother room, and beat him, jomped upon bun, and kicked him; and one of them (Levi) took a short stick out of his pocket, with which he beat him. The plaintiff cried out. and the sisters came in their night. dress, and requested the men not to murdit their btu. they. The witness went for a constable, and when he returned with one, the otficets ran to the do ir, and charged the plaintiff with an assault and an attempt to obstruct them in the discharge of their duty. He was taken to Hatton-Garden. Cross examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—He was servart to plaintiff's father—a marker at the billiard room; Mr. Bragg kept billiard rennin and baths of all sorts; ke did n t see any of the Misses Bragg strike Levi or Nathan with a cue or mace.
