Monday sennight, the Duke of WELLINGTON was shooting with other Noblemen and Gentlemen at Gunton, when the Duke killed a hare as it was pass ing over a fence. Some of the shot (supposed . to have struck against the thorns) glanced off sideways, and wounded a farmer's boy, who was in the load on.the other side, in the face and thigh. The Duke evinced great anxiety at the event, until Mr. SHARPE, the surgeon, who happened to be a spectator, exa mined the boy, and assured his Grace that the wounds were inflicted by spent shot, and mould be of no 'con sequence. The Duke then te,umed the sports of the field, and afterwards very kindly presented the boy with five pounds.

GALPIV. This case arose out of the well-known traisactloris !of Kinnear, Moseey Nolte, &c. aid the question now I was, whether an action might be tried in respeCt to the validlity.of some bills which wtre htld by a Mr. ! Wingfield, as part of th os e bill s whicb. were .accepted by Galp!n, without the knowledge of his partricr.— An action was lately brought in the Court of King's Bench against Dixon, who held some. of them, ants the Jury, under the direction of the Lord Chief Jus- Lice, found for the plaintiffs, Messrs. Coles, on the ground that such bills were of an usurious nature, and that the defendant,. in accepting them, must have known that they were drawn tip by .Galpin, without the knowledge and consent of his partners, who car ; ried on business in Fleet-Street. A similar issue was I now prayed for: I• The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some remarks on the very dangerous effects which might result from partners in any concern being thus allowed to draw such bilk, stated, that though it did not follow that the Jury would come to the same conclusion in this case as they had in the cas,.c of Dixon, still the case itself was r.f such a nature, that he felt it his duty to send it to a Jury, and theteloie he ordered the issue to be tried forthwith in the Court of King's Bench.— Motion granted. - COURT OF KING'S BEYCII, FEBRUARY 5. This being the day chosen for making the return to the writ of Ilii!)eas Corpus, granted laSt Tuesday on the motion of Ir. Evans, for bringing up the body of John Cam llobhouse, Esq. in order to be discharged front his commitment by the [louse of Commons, Mr. Brown the Governor of Newgate, brought his prisoner into Court at ten o'clock. Mr. Ilobhouse was accompanied by the Hon. Douglas Kinnaird, and several other friends, and, took his seat on the Attorneys' Bench. At an early hour the Court was crowded in every part by spectators anxious to witness the result of the proceediag. This, however, being Crown Paper day, the Court, at its sitting, commenced with the business appointed for the day, and wa; employed in hearing arguments upon Quar ter Sessions cases (none of which were of public in terest) until half-past two o'clock. When the CHIEF JUSTICE announced that the Court would proceed no further in the Crow_n Paper, and asked if Mr. Evans was in Court? Mr. EvAss rose, and answered in the affirmative. • CHIEF Justice—" I understand the person on whose behalf you moved tor a Habeas Corpus the other day, is now in Court." Mr. liobhouse imThediately stood upon the f10!:4.r, and Mi. Brown, the Jailer, delivered in his return to the writ, which was read by Mr. Dealtry, of the Crown Office. It commenced with reciting, that the Governor of Newgate, in obedience to the writ of this Court, most humbly certified that; before the commencing of the said writ, namely, on the lith of December, 1819, John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. was committed to his custody by virtue of a certain war rant, to the tenour .and effect following : A copy of the Speaker's writ was then set forth, on the return, which recited, " that whereas the House of Corn mons had resolved, that a certain Letter, addressed to Thomas Lord Erskine, &c. was a scandalous libel, and calculated to inflame the people of this country to acts of violence towards the Legislature, and more particularly towards the House of Commons, and that it was a high contempt (.f the Privileges -and Constitution of that House; and whereas John Cant HobhOuse, Esq. having acknowledged himself to be the Author of the said Libel; and whereas the said House having this day ordered him, the sli.l John Cam Hobhoule, Esq. to be committed to his Ma jesty's Jail of Ncwgate, these are, therefore, to require you to accept into yaw/. custody the body of the said John Olin Habhouset and him safely keep during the pleasure of the said /louse, for - which this shall be your sufficient authority.—Dated kith December, 1819, and signed Charles Manners Sutton.". The return concluded, that the Jailer had hereby complied with the writ to him, directed by the' Hon. Court, by bringing up the body of the prisoner. Mr. Hobhouse was then about to address the Court, when The CHIEF JUSTICE said—" Then Mr. Evans does not appear for this Gentleman ?" Mr. Hobhouse—L" No, my Lord, it is my purpose to argue this case myself; but as it is now a very late time of day, and as I labour under indisposition, which will not enable me to go through my case, I humbly move and request that your Lordships will now allow the return to be filed, and to order that this case may be argued on Monday,. or any other day that your *Lordships may please to appoint." • , CHIEF JUSTICE—" What are the points thir °ILL propose to argue?" Mr. Hobhouse—" I intend to spew, by the titsltti which has been made, that the authority ander I:Q7 - fhave been committed, was incompetent for •t, purpose. I shall dispute the competency of the tri bunal in question to commit an E n giishmau to prison. I shall attempt to shew that the•rettirn itself, even supposing the tribunal to which I allude has suCcient authority to commit, contains Certain im proprieties which renders it impossible that I can any ionger be detained in prisOn, or be subject any longer to L!.at restriction under Which I have '1)&11 so im.; properly placed. I can, llWever, go on if your Lerdihips wish it." Cur.x JesTicc—" Wait a Moment, and we will consult what is the best course to adopt.

The very :,..;reat length of tiine which ha 3 elapsed since the pertorMance of this ceremony, has rendered it ex tremely didicult to ascertain the regular mode of conducting it. In the present instance, recourse was had to the recollections of an old inhabitant, Mr. MICHAEL MINTER, who acted in the capacity or . Town Drummer at the A cce:,sio:i of our late lamented Sover:ien. Sunday, the•loyalty of the inhabitants of the town of Sheerness induced them, very generally, to put on mourning for the Duke of KL.vr. On :he news of the death of our late revered K I NG t eaching that place on Monday, every shop was clocd, and the town pre sented a sombre appearance. Tire official intelligence of the melancholy event having arrived cn board the NOIMIUMBEItLA ND guard-ship, lying off S:leerness, the colours were hoisted half-matt high, and minute guns were fired for three hours, producing a most affecting impres , ,ion. Tuesday, a Royal Salute was fired from the NORTHUMBERLAND, in honour of the 'Accession of his Majesty Kfvc GEORGE IV. Letters were last week received in town froth Mar seilles, by 1' house of the first respectability, stating, that a British merchantman had sailed from the latter place for Leghorn, in order to convey the QUEEN to this country, she declining a journey across the Contir:ient. The LORD CfrAMBERLAI!4 left Windsor on Wed nesday, after leaving the remains of the late . KING in the charge of proper persons. The preparations for the Royal Funerals about to take place in the Royal Vault or Mausoleum, are upon a more extensive scale, since his late Majesty, King G Erma: 111. determined on preparing it for the reception of the Royal remains, and the funeral of his late MAJESTY being determined on to be a walk ing procession, it has been ascertained, that it will require a platform and a covered way, from the grand entrance of the Palace to St. 61:orge's Chapel, a dis-* tance of about 1,200 feet. The Surveyortiencr-al, with Mr. Mows and Mr. HIORT, Officers of the Board of Works, have been attending for several days past to give the necessary directions for the several arrangements, and for opening and - closing the Royal Mausoleum. Owing to the lateness of the orders fcr the funeral of the late lamented Duke of KENT, the ornaments and decorations for the State coffin and urn, which are of the bes: and peculiar sorts, being most of them manufactured for the occasion, although every pos sible exertion was made by Messrs. BAILEY and SAusumns, were not finished and put on, wail late on Thursday right last, and, in consequence, post horses were obliged to Le resorted to for the hearse to convey them to Sidmouth, and with which they started early on Friday morning.
