(Here, at the request of the Learned Counsel, the Ladies, who were very numerous in their attendance, retired trom Ccpirt. while he detailed the condition of this poor idiot George, with reference to his personal wants.) From the . Lea!ned Gentleman's statement, it Appeared that every thing was done to render his infirmities as in offensive as possible, when, on Wednesday, the 25th of Jantwy last s while therwobrothers and the sister Sarah were engaged. as usual, in cleaning his bed-room, and as Ire had . a very hal night's rest, the stater was much fatigued, baring sat up with him tit% two o'clock in the morning, two Gentlemen were observed to ride up to the count-vard of the house.: one of them, Mr. Eta, was known as an occasional visitor and acquaintance. The change 4 linen for George's bed was at the moment be fore the kitchen fire for airing,and the servant girl having no fire in the parinur, suddenly filing the sheets into it, shoaed the Gen laamen into the kitchen, and went up to tell the' family of the arrival of these two Gentlemen. William immediately ran down stairs to see them, and • .bt ing interrupted in assisting in the cleaning of George's room. - left the idiot upon the chaff bed, the fealter one being, abaut to be changed, which was generally done Once or twice a %seek, and he flung over him an old coat and 4 couple or the chaff bags, merely for the mornent,the • ;vier/notion hasan,a, taken place just as the clean things we, epre,iiiiing. lionn coming down stairs, he found 'Mr. E!d aid another Gontleman,who afterwards proved to he the Rev. Mi. Brought n. The latter inquired ho resided in that house; he was informed of the resi eent members of the family, and also of George. The two Gentlemen instantly desired to see the latter; the family naturally wished for a short delay to set things right, as they had been interrupted in doing so by the new arrival cf s rangers. Miss Sarah Smith came down stairs during the conversation, without her gown, and only dressed in a shawl, which she hastily threw over her shel' 'ers. and morning habiliments, and joined in' the solicitation for a moment's delay, when Mr. Brough ton behaved towards her in a manner which no allow ance for his nritisia, however laudable, could justify. Ifis conduct on the occasion did him no credit, either as a Clergyman, a Magistrate, or a man, for he d—d th s tidy, and assailed her in rude and violent terms of the most unbecoming description. 'I hese Gen tlemen refusing to permit the smallest delay, went up stairs at once, accompanied by a person of the name 4 Pnl'on. They opened the door of George's bed-room, Which was not, nor had ever been, locked, the fastenin eing nothing more than a common staple. They ,n.,doubt, much shocked at what then struck their eyes; for shocking at all times, in the best condi dition, send with the best treatment, was the humiliating spect ele of a fellow-creature bereaved of reason, and well calculated to appal, and make an indelible impres weinn on any reflecting mind. They found the room, of 'iternrse, dark, as it would naturally appear to Gentlemen - iiho had jest entered it from the broad glare of day; they removed some of the bricks from the window to have a better view of the patient, and they took a full view of him. They made no complaints upon this visit —they uttered no reproach to the family ; but they subsequently thought proper to cause the removal of the sufferer from the house of his family to the Stafford Ltitiat;c Asyl,m, where he had since remained. He Weiliti Din met into the motives of these Gentlemen for their interp. &lan, but he would feallessly assert their t' Mutt ocon this occasion to have been indiscreet and improper, for appearances might have deceived them— their conjectarts mig!.t have been mistaken—indeed, as it was, they - had propagated the most exaggerated ac count of what they had teen, and they had done so without making the least explanatory inquiry from the family, against which, nevertheless, they did not hesi ta'e to insinuate charges of harshness and cruelty, for the treatment of a relative to whose care they had di tected for many years the most tender solicitude. The plaintiff, upon hearing these calumnies, brought an action against ti e Rev. Mr. Broughton for having pro. pagated them, upon which the latter caused a prosecu tion to be instituted against the plaintiff and his family fur cruelty to del, brother. Pending this prosecution it was that these libels were published in a Newspaper of , eatensive circulation, called the . Birminghant Journal. :There were two libels published in this Paper, one on the II th and the other on the 25th of February. In • the first, the names were suppressed, the circumstances heir.g. according to the Elitor's own account, " under legal investigation." Nevertheless, he dial not hesitate to send forth a statement calculated to poison the minds °Cabe Jury oho were about to inquire into the real facts 'of the case. The Learned Counsel then read the fol lowing articles from the Birmingham Newspapers of the 111th -nd efith of Februat y, commenting urn them a. he proceeded in terms of great severity : FROM THE BIItItIINGIIANI CIittONICLE or FEB. 11. " IfOURTD ATROCITY. "..The Aimed gives the following outline of a ease of untratinal cruelty almost unheard of. Toe names are suppressed, rri tbir-crosop.rrances, are under legal iinteatigation. A brother and .eisrer re:mink:leer ,elle northern binders of this county (Shropshire), svhoise father died about 15 years ago, having seven children, four tons and three dauglsters. One of the sons was unhappily an idiot. The father by his will bequeathed to the brother and sister the slam or 1„500/. in trust. the interest thereof to be applied to the maintenance, in the frost comfortable manner his unfortunate situa tion would'adMit, cif his derange d child. Immediately after the (wadi of his father (as alleged) the poor idiot was locked up in a small dark room in the house, where he was daily fed like a swine, through a small aperture in the wall, f. .r a series of years. About elt yen ytnrs ajn, the brother and sister then spread a report that their 21 •tr e was haunted, in order to deter persons from visiting, it. Howevrr, a servant girl, w lin bad been with them 14 year.. left them a kw days ago, and went into the service of a Magis trate in the neighbourhood, and communicated the above circum stance. Tug Magistrate took immediate steps, and with a eniht able went to the house, and revested admittance. This being relined, he burst open the dour, and found the unfortunate object of their search in a place of tool darkness. They procured a light, and discovered the miserable _victim of atrocious penury crouching in a coiner of the room ; his Lair had grown all ova r hint to the length of three or four inches; he was become quite deformed, arid shrunk to little more than a yard in height. When his father tied, he was in person a well-made and tall young man. Blankets were recuied to place h.nr in, but when the constable went to s , , rap them round him, he sprang at and bit hint in the cheek, n.al.ing a horrible and unintelligilile noise.

Relying upon the veracity of our correspondent, we shall insert his conintunication verbatim, regardless of the threats held out in order to prevent this horrid I transaction from being brought to light ; • . " ' The account of an atrocity discovered on the borders of Shrop shire, as copied in the Birmingham Journal from another paper, is not in all its particulars quite correct. The circumstance is no secret, since it is made the general topic of conversation through. out the neighbourhood. Mucklestone wood is situated about a I quarter of a mile front the Loggerheads public-house, at which the two turnpike roads front Eccleshall to and from Newcastle to Market Drayton cross each other • and the house whic i lt is large, and of respectable appearance, is inhabited by two bachelors and a maiden sister, of the name of Smith, and the lunatic is their elder brother. The communication was first made to a Mr. Rid, brother of the Magistrate of that name, and he, with the Rev. H. D. Broughton, a Magistrate of the neighbourhood, accompanied by a constable of Mucklestone, broke into the garret, where the lunatic was confined. The cry which he uttered on beholding the light was that of horror, but it does not appear that he hit the constable ; indeed, such was the stench that issued from the room, that the parties could not enter for some time, and when they did so, it was by ascending a pile of filth which had accumulated to the height of more than a, foot. His body is not overgrown, as absurdly stated in the Papers, but his beard is about five inches long; his hair bangs about his shoulders, and his nails have grown to a prodigious length, as from a confinement of fifteen years may be reasonably supposed. Prior to the time of his incarceration be was so far rational as to drive the cattle and do errands, and could give a cor rect. answer to any plain question, though he now seems to have lost the powers of speech and of reason; his sense of bearing has been proved to continue, by experiments made since his removal to the county asylum at Stafford. The poet creature was found in a state which maybe considered ettuivalent to nudity, and was unable to walk erect. His thigh has been broken, and permitted, it is sup posed, to re-unite of its own accord. This circonstaace must have rendered his situation most deplorable, as he cannot have had any means of procuting sustenance, but that of receiving the provision furnished him by meads of a slide inserted in the partition or wall Mr. Broughton, with becoming humanity, has exerted himself to obtain for the lunatic the highest legal advice and protection, and it is generally understood that his conduct is likely to afford matter for the prolific genius of Mr. Charles Flint, the confidential friend of Lord Stafford Cooke. Such are the correct particulars of a case which, to say the least of it, has filled the county of Stafford with Was there, continued Mr. Campbell, ever cnnceived a more atrocious compilation of libels, than these publica. tions disclosed? And how had the charge of inventing and circulating them been met? By apology, by con trition, by qualification, or explanation ? No, but by justification of all the material and prominent parts. Here Mr. Campbell referred, in detail, to the justifica tory averments, which, he repeated, contained a reitera tion of all the worst parts of the calumny, and an ad mission of error in minor and insignificant parts of the statement, which did hot mitigate the general falsehood and baseness of the attack. The question for the Jury, under these circumstances, was, what damages they ought to give by way of compensation for so grie vous an injury ? A charge more merciless, more brutal, or more false could not be well made, to impute to brothers and sisters, moving in a respect able rank of life, such cruelty to a near relative, and for mercenary motives, was a shocking accuse , Lion, and necessarily calculated to- stigmatise the honour of any human being in the tenderest point. This action was therefore brought, not only for the re covery of damages, as a ,reparation for wanton and unprovoked injury, but also for the plaintiff's restora tion, as a man of character into society. He challenged the defendant to prove, by credible evidence, a syllable of his justification, for the whole charge of cruelty was, from beginning to end, the invention of his fancy, the _...ang t._ pt _ having behaved to his brother, from the first moment to the last, as a humane and gopd man would and ought to behave to a relative who bad the misfortune to be deprived of reason and the power of self-control. If his Learned Friend should venture to call evidence, he (Mr. Campbell) would have the privilege of reply; if they did not, then he left the case in the hands of the Jury, to which he knew he could safely entrust it. Idr. J. Abbott, front the Stamp Ogee, merely produced the all davit to show the proprietorship of the paper, and also the particu lar numbers of the lesoisol alluded to. The Associate read from the alleged libels. An ob jection was taken by the defendant's counsel to the I omission of the word "him" in the record, in the line where it is said "his hair had grown all over." The Learned Judge did not think the variance material, but hinted at the informality of another variance suggested to him, where the word " make" was used instead of " making" a horrible noise. This applied to the first count merely. After &great number of witnesses bad been examined, the plain. tiff's cue was closed. It had lasted from a quarter before nine o'clock in the morning until nearly ten o'clock on Saturday night. A long discussion then arose between Counsel and the Court, about an adjournment. It was on ell hands admitted that the trial could not be carried on further at this sitting, and that the Jury should remain at large; but the plaintiff's Counsel wished to proceed in due course on Monday. morning, but this Mr. Justice Bonitos:Km would not permit, as an important special jury cause was already fixed for Monday, to which Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Serjeant Wilde were to be brought special from their respective and distant circuits. It was pressed upon the Court that the cause alluded to would last two days, to which it was answered from the bench that the present cause must then be adjourned till Wed neAlay morning, which was done accordingly. There are upwards of 40 causes on the list unheard, and they are all thrown into confusionfat an immense expence to the respective suitors, by the situation on the list of those long causes, which will last until Thursday next, ac cording to the most probable computation. .

EARL Or TALNIOUTIf V. PENROSE AND OTHERS. This.was an action founded on the presumptive right to toll, the toll being the second best fish, and the worst fish, caught in each boat fishing in Sinnon cove, within the manor of Penro e, of which the Earl of Falmouth is the Lord. The tight in dispute referred of course principally to the second best fish. The plaintiff contended that the toll was payable for the leave given to fish in the cove. This the defendants denied, contending that it was merely a compensation, by long :Rage, for the use of a rope which the proprie tor of the cove had toimerly kept across the mouth of the cove; for the accommodation of the fisherm,n, who were accustomed to fasten their boats to it. The rope had 'wen for some time discontinued ; and upon this the defendants jusefied their discontinuance n'•t, as. they said, of the toll, but of the voluntary compensation far tf:e use of the rope. _ . The evidence wasaltngether that of living persons ; and was offered upon the cpiestion whether the toll was "r was nct payable by immemorial custom for the right to fish. This consumed the whole of the day, and in the result was f.tvOimMe to tte claim for toe ; the Jury returning a verdict fur be plaintiff'. MAIDSTONE, Are. S. STOKES V. OZENDEN AN. OTHERS. This was an action against Henry Chudleigh Oxen den, El. George OienJen, Esq. S r John Fagg, But. High Sheriff of the county, and John Oliver, Esq. for violently assaulting the plaintiff. The defendants pleaded the general issue—not guilty. This was a'case of great excitement and interest, from the wealth and rank of the defendants, and the alleged circumstances of cruelty and barbarity under which the assault was committed. The plaintiff, a very poor man, sued in farina pauperis ; the defendants separated in their defences. A rule for a special jury had been ob. tained at the instance of the defendants. Eleven special jurors now attended, and the panel was made up by a talesman. Mr. BRODERICK, in stating the case, said that he ap peared as the advocate of a poor man, in the most humble station of lite, seeking impartial justice for a grievous injury inflicted by persons of rank, fortune and influence. Impressed with the conviction that fair and impartial justice would not be denied him, he did not fear to submit his case to the judgment of a Jury, chosen from the same sphere of lite in which the defendants moved. The plaintiff, a poor labourer, suing as a pauper, sought a reparation iu damages from persons having on their side all the advantages which birth and fortune were naturally calculated to induce. It would be demonstrated that per sons of this cond tion had con ' ducted themselves towards an humble fellow-creature in a manner which the laws of this country did not sanction, and which could only be accounted for by an utter disregard of the lives of those who happened to interfere, eitheir with their idle sports or selfish amuse ' ments. In truth, it would turn out that this was little more than an inquisition of damages; for that an assault had been committed, and that under circumstances of the most outrageous violence, was a fact capable of the clearest demonstration. After some further obset va tions, the Learned Counsel detailed the facts which were proved in evidence. Luke Evans, a journeyman paper-maker, Thomas Maytum, labourer, working in the factory of Messrs. Phipps, at River, near Dover; Thomas Bayley, a 14- bourer, living at Ewell, near Dover ; William Patterson, a carrier at Dover ; and James Martin, a labourer of Lidden, were then called to prove the plaintiff's case. From their evidence it appeared that on Sunday, the ditch of March, Evans, Maytum, and Brockman, the son of a publican, at River, went to look for a fox for sale, at Fisher's burrow fox-earth, and in doing so, two dogs which they had with them, belonging to a man named Witnell, who went by the name of Billy the Devil, got earthed, and could not be taken out. Next day Evans and Maytum, in company with the plaintiff Stokes, a blacksmith, went to the fox-earth, each • having a dog with a net and a mattock, and other im plemets. The fox-earth is situated en a farm called Wick ham Bushes, the property of Mr. Noakes, of Mungam. The men began to dig for their dogs, when Mr. Graves, the steward, came up and inquired what they were about. They told him, and asked leave to proceed.— Mr. Graves gave them permission, provided they filled up the holes again. Whilst they were digging, Mr. H. C. Ozendon came up on horseback, and demanded what they were doing there P He was informed, and that they had permission from the steward. This he denied. He then went in pursuit of the steward,' who Came back; and, in the presence of Mr. Oxenden, stated, that it was true he had given permission to the men to dig for their dogs, after they had begun. Mr. Oxenden then said to Mr. Graves, " I know your mas ter, and he will do anything to oblige me, so I charge you to warn these men off the land . ' The steward ace:, cordingly warned them off, and they went away imme diately, taking their tools and dogs with them. A party of Gentlemen, in hunting-dresses, then came round the corner of the wood, and Mr. Oxenden gave them what is called the se view holloa." As soon as they came up, Mr. Oxenden said, " Now, in the first place, we will kill all their dogs." At this time Maytum and Stokes were going off towards a wood, with their dogs under their arms. Several gentlemen then pursued them, striking at their dogs. Mr. H. C. Oxenden then cried out, Ride over them." Mr. G. Ozeoden. who was riding a gray horse, rode over the plaintiff, and knocked him down. The plaintiff received a wound on the left side of his head from the horse's hoof, and was kickeJ in one of the hips. He was immediately covered with blood. The gentleman then rode after Bayley into the wood. The plaintiff escaped with his dog—one of the eyes of the animal being struck out, and hanging on its cheek. The plaintiff had a handkerchief tied round his bead for two or three days, and did not appear to have been very materially hurt. In about an hour and a half afterwards the two dogs were taken out of the fox earth and shot by Mr. Oliver. None of the witnesses could identify any of the defendants except Messrs. Ox enden as being present when the plaintiff was ridden over. The last witness said he thought Sir John Fagg looked like one of the gentlemen, and he believed he was present. Mr. Manarar submitted, that there was no case to go to at Jury against Mr. Oliver. Mr. &mans also contended that there was nothing to affect Sir John Fagg. Baron GRAHAME thought the whole cue ought to go to the Jury. Mr. Guaarr then adduseei the Jury for Messrs. Oxenden ; and argued, that the injury which the plaintiff bad sustained was quite accidental, and that the object of the defendants was to destroy the dogs, for which separate actions had been brought, and now re mained for trial. Mr. Mammal declined addressing the Jury for Mr. Oliver. Mr. BOLLAMID contended, on behalf of Sir John Fagg, that there was not a tittle of evidence to show that that Gentleman was pre sent, or knew any thing of the transaction until it had happened. Mr. Baron Guanine summed up the case. The Jury retired, and in about ball an hour found Mr. Oliver and Sir John Fagg, Net Guilty; but Messrs. Oxenden Damages 1001. Morris Murphy, aged 27, was indicted for violating the person of Jane Barton, a girl 12 years old, at Strood, on the cad of Jon, last. This cue excited considerable interest, and the trial occupied the greater portion of the day. The prisoner was Acquitted. Private letters have been received at Manchester from New York, stating that a public meeting had been held there, to consider of the propriety of aiding in the relief of our distressed manufacturers, when it was re solved to freight a ship of tlte largest tonnage with Hour, to be delivered at Liverpool, for distribution.

The French Papers of Friday contain little Intelligence of any importance. In an article from Madrid, it is said that the Ctiaacal of Castile is employed in drawing up a consulta for an amnesty, anal for the convocation of the Cortes. It is also stated, that in come. quence of alpirit of disaffection manifested by some Spanish QLScers, the Minister of Justice has addressed circulars to the Re;ents of Chancelleries and Audiences, recommending to them increased vigilance; and the Superintendant of Police has also add:hued a circular to the Intendants of Provinces, to employ their authocin is extending among the Agents of Police and the 'Volunteer .I.to7Xlists the strictest union and confraternity, in supporting the rights of the King in their fullest plenitude and sovereignty—in putting down any attempts at insubordination, and to maintain order, peace; and tranquillity throughout the kingdom. Letters from Lisbon, dated July I.lth, announce that a COnfti tetional Ministry is about to be formed, which engages the infanta's matmest consideration. It is also stated that several excesslichave ben committed by detachments of troops on the Spanish frontiers-, d that they are instigating the native troops to desertion, and that the factious are endeavouring to disturb the tranquillity of the capital. The Government will doubtless adopt measures to repress these machinations before they produce pernicious results. By accounts of, St. Petersburgh, of July *4, it appe.rs that the expected fate of the accomplices in the late conspiracy creates a great sensation ; but it is said that only five or six will suffer death, and that the Emperor will commute the sentence of the rest into some other punishment. Accordingly General Orlors life has been spared, and he is merely condemned to lose his military rank, to keep at a distance from the capital and other large towns, and to re. main a prisoner on his own estates.

Consols, which were in the earlier part of the morning at 73t0 for the Account, have receded to 731, and may be quoted the same for Money ; th. cause of this trivial decline is owing to a report from India, by a Letter from Vellore, dated the lOth March, in which is. added a Postscript, stating that our Army under Sit AacuaaLD tasirsitz. had been entirely defeated. There is no doubt of the above Letter having been received, but there is not the least truth in the Postscript, as several letters have been re edited from Madras, dated the 14th and 15th March, which do not mention one word about this rumour. On the contrary, ono lener of the 15th March states, that Sir Aactintano Csatsses.x. was pro circling on towards the Burmese capital; and it was expeaNd be fore he arrived there the Burmese would offer to make pease.
