IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN. Extract of a letter from Mr. W. BATTNIAN, Purser of the Thomas Coutts, East Indiaman, to S. MAJO RIRANKS and Co. dated Madras, the 13th of May, a:companied with a Protest : I am sort y to observe that the same conduct which has es i•:rd with the men of war of this country, for former yeats pant, ' :ill appears to be going on, and that on the day of our arrival,' ;.td before the Thomas Coutts was moored, we were boarded by a boat from his Majesty's ship Glasgow, Capt. Doyle, who beat up for volunteers, and took with them no less than 18 of our hest men, three of which were Quarter-Masters. Capt. Christie and the Officers of the Coutts did everything in their power to r,sist the threats of the Officers of the man of war from carrying off the ship's company in this way, but their remonstrances had no effect, as they sent boats armed with men, and absolutely forced the people out of the ship. We have sent in a strong re pre,tntation to tht Governor in Council, and protested against the e. , tiduct of Doyle and the Officers of the Glasgow, but whether they will interfere so as to get the men back is at present a matter of doubt ; it has thrown the ship into complete distress for want ui men ; there will be great difficulty in getting men." The following is a copy of a letter from Mr. Cuaisrtr., Commander of the Thomas Coutts, to Captain Don.z, of his Majesty's Ship GLASGOW, dated Madras, May IS: Sza—Uudereanditig that your ship is about to proceed to sea with the i 8 men that your boat carried away from this ship, I hereby beg leave to acquaint you, that the ship Thomas Coutts has thereby been rendered unfit for the purpose of her voyage, aid that I bold you responsible to my Owners, Insurers, and all concerned, for all events that may happen in consequence of your having distressed the ship. I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) " ALEX. CHRISTIE" 7'HE KEELMEN OF THE TYNE. Tire keelmen, we regret to state, still continue re fractory. Oil Wedoesday morning, some of the keel men above bridge shewed a disposition to return to work, and actually proceeded with their keels down to Shields. They were, howeater, interrupted in their progress by stones thrown from the sides of the river, by those of their body less peaceably inclined. One keelman was severely wounded, and has since been conveyed to the Infirmary. A reward of 100 guineas was offered by the owners of the Team.colliery for the person who threw the stone, and a further reward of five guineas each for the apprehension of suck as were engaged in the disturbance:. Saturday, they assembled in great numbers on the Windmill Hills, but without effecting any change in their previous d.2:ermination. Yesterday, they met again in a great body in the same place, when it was generally con cei: ei that some amicable adjustment would take place. That expectation, however, has been disap pointed. A deputation from them, we hear, has just waited or, the MAToa, at the Mansion [louse, and de clared their fired resolution to be, not to go to work till the coal-owners consent to restrict the loading rf ships at the spouts to eight keels, to give than two guineas for binding-money, and one guinea for a supper. Such is the prevailing feeling among the proprietors of the collieries, that we are persuaded if the keelmen hold this their determination, their future employment at all is extremely problematical.—Tyne Mercury, Oct. 22. The removal of the London Bridge water-works proceeds rapidly, and the arrangements for the erec tion of the new Bridge pesent a formidable appear ance. The completion of that work will at least occupy six years. - - .. - The following Hand-bill was posted at the entrance of the Royal Exchange this morning : .. so lax GENTLISIKS DEALING IN FOREIGN STOCKS ON TIM ROYAL ZICHANGZ.

E. H. Soaszascr, K.C.B. Inspecting General of the Cavalry in Great Britain. A squadion of the Royal Dragoons has received orders to march to-morrow from Canterbury Barracks, as follows, elm one troop to Deal, and the other troop to Hythc. They are di rected subsequently to detach to Dover, Saudgate, Ringwood, Romney, Wollner, Dimehurch, and Lydd, in aid of the Riding Officers of the Revenue. The 3d Light Dragoons will be inspected by'Lord EDWARD SODIRRSIM at Chichester, on Satorday next. Thursday, Major-Gen. Sir Joni EtAgr,•l4.C.B. arrived in Dublin, from Caher, where he inspected the 10th Hussars, and continued his route for Ennis, to Inspect the 93d highlanders; after which he will see the 12th Lancers at Gort, and proceed thence on his return to head-quarters at Athlone. Thursday, Major-General Sir Joint LAMIZILT, K.C.B. in spected the 39th Regiment, at Tralee. Friday, General Ecsaroti reviewed the Zilst Regiment, at Armagh. The intended alteration in the change of cantonments of the 6th and 10th Dragoons, is not to take place unless disturbances recur iis the country stations proposed to be allotted for the cavalry. _ . The first division of the 43d Regiment have arrived safe at Gibraltar. The 13th Foot are to replace the 17th, and the 20th the 65th, in India. The 66th Regiment has arrived at Durham, to check the Keelinen, who have turned out. Wednesday sennight the half-yearly inspection of the 65d Regiment, andst detachment of the 4th Dragoon Guards, quar tered in Enniskillen, took place before Major-General E. G . lioritrow. - The steady and soldierlike appearance of the 63d, the internal economy of the Regiment, and the excellent state of discipline of the whole, met the entire approbation of the General ; and was highly creditable to Lieut.-Colonel BUSKE and the other Officers. Tuesday last the troop of Wigan Light Horse Volunteers, commanded by Captain Kea sines-, were reviewed on the Sands; near Seaforth-house, by Colonel Farm. They performed the various evolutions in a manner highly creditatile to themselves, and which received the warm approbation of the Inspecting Officer. The troop have a fine military air, and in dress and ap pointment are fully equal to any of the line. They left Liverpool on Wednesday, having performed their annual period of eight days duty. The Newcastle Volunteer Cavalry, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel BRANT/I.INC, M. P. were on Friday inspected on the Town Flo by Colonel Hoxstas, of the 3d Dragoon Guards. General Lord ImiXDOCH, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Wit.soN, appeared on the ground, and was an attentive observer of their movements. His Lordship repeatedly expres sed, in very gratifying terms, his astonishment at the steadiness and apparent efficiency of the corps, and his unqualified admi ration of the precision and celerity with which their several evo lutions were performed. Colonel Sir A.

AUCIIIWTY, in the Command of the Troops in Ireland, does n.;l assume the commend, as COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF of the Troops in that part of the United Kingdom ;—that office being abolished, on the retirement of Sir DAVID BAIRD, G. CAL and K.C.—but merely as LIEUTENANT•GENERAL, COMMANDING the roeceS. The reduction in the l'ay being, therefore, very considerable, the office of the COMMANDER of the Foacas in Ireland, can con sequently be considered, at the present moment, more as an ho norary than an advantageous appointment. At the Liverpool Sessions, which commenced on Monday last, several prisoners were convicted, and sentenced to seven years transportation. Amcngit them was a female convict, an old offender, who appears to have been prepared fur her sentence, for, as soon as it was pronounced, she threw a atone, which she had secretly brought front Kirkdale, with great violence at the Magistrates, fortunately without doing any injury. She was itn rnediately removed, and will, no doubt, suffer every further pri vation the law will allow to punish such atrocisy. }Livros. CiAßDEN.—Yesterday two Gentlemen of sporting no. toriety, accompanied by Ward, the pugilist, who tonght the pitched battle on the preceding day with Abbot, at Moulsey Hurst, attended before the Sating Magistrate, Mr. Serjeant SELLON, for the purpose of Ward's making an ffidavit, which one of the Gentlemen stated, viz. that he held stakes for a large sum of money depending on the fight of the preceding day, which Ward, then present, lost. That the Gentleman who backed Ward, suspecting that he sold the battle, refused to con sent to his (the applicants) paying the wager, until Ward made oath that he fought as well as he could, and that he lost the bat tle in consequence of a blow he received on the neck. The Magistrate addressed the applicants, and informed them that on their own confession an information might be laid against them for a breach of the peace, and that they would be liable to be sent to work at the mill in the House of Correction. He could not swear such an affidavit, were a man to come volunta rily forward to snake oath of a breach of the public peace. He ordered them to go about their business, and refused to comply with their request. Bow-mum—Yesterday the persons who were on Tuesday detected in a Gaming House in Pall Mall, were again brought up. Mr. Alley was to have attended for them, but was detained at another place. John Clete, foreman to Mr. Green, a printer, proved printing 1000 roulette cards by order of the prisoner Samuel Brown.— Brown ordered him to make out the bill to Mnk. . . Mr. 11.9. axes repeated his former arguments, and urged the Magistrates to hold the defendants to bail far twelve mouths un der the old statute, and not to proceed upon the Vagrant Act. Mr. HALLS refused to do so, and said he should proceed upon the List named wholesome Statute. The prisoner Thomas then stepped forward, and said he had never been in the house before. and that he had been there but three minutes when the officers came. A person who owed him money, promised to meet him there, and 'tieing much distressed he agreed to call, though with much reluctance. Mr. Hwees—How did you get in? Thomas said he went through the passage and up stairs without any interruption. Being asked what he was? he said he was a seller of coals by commission. lie would not mention the name of the person he sold for, but would write it down. Mr. Hates said he thought it was souse such vagabond occu pation ! . Sir RICHARD Rum—Did you ever try your hand at any ether occupation ? as a Reporter to a Newspaper, for instance ? Thomas—No, your Worship—l wish I had talent sufficient for se respectable a profession—l should nor consider that a crime, your Worship. He went on to say he thought it extremely hard he should be consigned to a prison for a mere accidental visit. Sir RICHARD asked if any other of the prisoners had any ac count to give of themselves? No one answered. The officers engaged in the caption all declared that they had no doubt whatever that the prisoners were engaged in playing at an unlawful game. . Mr. Hates—These persons were found at this house under cir cumstances, which, in my judgment, are quite st.fficient to war rant the officers in the conclusion which they upon their oaths declare they have formed upon the subject. It is not necessary, in my opinion, to prove that any person was actually at play. If it is proved that gaming Was going on, I regard all persons present as participators in it. There are undoubtedly different degrees of guilt, which I shall take into consideration In adjudging the punishment. The hopes of the present, and the prospects of the rising generation are, in many instan6es, blasted by these ini quitous practices, and it Is indeed high time that they were put a stop to. There is anther circumstance too, which ren- I ders the thing the more obnoxious—it is an importation from a foreign country brought here for the debasement and ruin of this. Under these circumstances I convict all the prisoners of playing at an unlawful game, and do therefore adjudge them to be rogues and vagabonds within the full intent and meaning of this Act of Parlisment. My judgment upon the defendants is, that Jackson be imprisoned two months in the Ud'use of Correction, there to be kept to hard harbour; that Monk, Samuel Drawn, De Degre, and Mare be imprisoned each for six weeks; and the re mainder of the defendants for one month each. Mr. Ileum immediately advised the defendants to appeal to the Sessions—a course which they determined to adopt, and in the course of the day they put in bail for their appearance at the Sessions to prosecute such appeal.

This was a criminal information filed against the defendant by the ATTORNIFT-GINICRAL, for publi.li ing a prophans and.blasphemout libel against the Christian Religion. As.soon as the cause was called on and the.dury were about to be swore, the defendant, who conducted his own defence, objected that the cause ought to be tried by a Petty,Jury, according to law. • The LORD CUM/ JUSTICE told him there was no such law. The defendant, who came provided with a large box, filled with books and papers, begged leave to read to his Lordship a passage from Blackstone, which he accordingly proceeded to do. The LORD CHIEH JUSTICE told him the cause must be tried by the Special jury ; and if he thought pro per, he might hereafter move for a new trial. The Jury were then sworn. ' The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. GURNEY and Mr. LITTLEDALE), stated, that the de fendant was charged in the information with publish. ing a blasphemous libel, reflecting on the Christian Religion, and the Sacred Writings. in a work called Palmer's Principles of Nature." The passages must, in the Course of the prosecution, be read. He would not therefore insult the ears of the Jury by repeating or by commenting on them now at any length. He conceived that he should best discharge his duty by doing no more than was positively necessary. He would merely state that this was a blasphemous libel on the 46 Old and New `Testaments," and on the cha racter of our SAVIOUR, expressed in terms so coarse as to excite disgust even in the minds of those per sons (for such there were) who were irreligious. This libel had before been the subject of prosecution in that Court, and several attempts had been made to pre vent the circulation of it. Carlile had been found guilty for publishing it, and successive informations were afterwards filed against those persons who suc ceeded him in Fleet -street, and at last it was hoped an end was put to it, as the whole of the stock of Carlile was seized in execution. Some time after, the defendant established a shop at No. 200 k, in the Strand, for the sale of pamphlets. The Learned Counsel then detailed the facts, which he sliduld prove in evidence, in order to fix the defendant with the publication ; and it would then be fur the defend ant to say what answer he could give to them. John Purton was then called, and examined by Mr. GURNEY.—I am an officer of the police at Bow street. I know a shop in the Strand, No. 201 ; it is one shop divided into two; it is a shop for the sale of pamphlets. In the month of April and May last the name of S. Waddington was over the door in large letters. I have seen the defendant in that shop fre quently. There were several written placards in the shop window. I made copies of two of them—{The notice to defendant to produce the original placards was here given. The defendant declined producing them, and the copies were then read. The first was, " Paine's Age of Reason and Palmer's Principles of Nature are now selling behind the curtain, price ss. No .connexion with Waddington, the fanatic.' The other paper was, gi To the Forces of the Essex and Bridge-street Gang. S. Waddington having seen them roaming about his shop, like roaring lions seeking whom they may devour, gives them notice, that S. Waddington sells nothing seditious or blasphemous, but he has strong suspicion that somebody under the roof does:"J—l observed the shop for four or five days, and the placards were always there. I made copies on the 2d of May, and I observed them on the 4th of May, the day Waddington was apprehended, still in the window. As I was watching the shop, 1 . _ observed the manner in which the business was con ducted. There was a spout connected with the floor above, and I have seen the customers putting money into the bag, and the bag was then drawn up. I saw , the person in the first floor drawing it up. After the bag was drawn up, a book came down the spout from the first floor. Sometimes the defendant and one or two youths were in the shop, serving in the ordinary way. There was a trumpet to communi cate with the first floor. Against the back of the shop there were titles of several books, with a hook attached. There was also a rope and a ring, and by putting the ring on the hook it was drawn up to the room above, and it indicated to the person above the book which was wanted. Palmer's Principles of Na ture, and Paine's Age of Reason, were among the titles of the books. Great numbers were attracted round the shop window. The other half of the shop was occupied by Poole, a tobacconist, and there were separate entrances to the street. On the 4th May, I, in company with Smith and Duke, went to Mr. Poole's; from the stairs we could look through the keyhole into the first floor, occupied by Waddington. The spout was directly opposite that keyhole. Duke was stationed on the stairs. We were there for seve ral days. In consequence of information we received, Smith and I came out of Poole's front door and went into the street; and Smith went into the defendant's 'Shop, and I looked through the shop-windtr, and saw Smith receive a book, which came down the spout. Smith ss)as there six or seven minutes. The defendant was not\there at first, but in two or three minutes he came into the shop, from a door which led to the staircase on which we had been standing. There is only one staircase for the whole of the house. Poole and Waddington had both access to the stair case. I went with Smith to Bow-street and obtained a warrant ; I came back to the house and apprehended the defendant in the shop, I had purchased several ' little things of Waddington, in the shop, on the even ing previous to this. Cross-examined by th e defendant.—l believe it was your Letter to the Editor of no Traveller that I purchased. lam sure that, at one time, 1 bought that work of a bcy in the shop. I do recollect that I purchased some work of you. You told me to take tt, and took the money. Defendant.—l shalibe able to contradict that. The cross-examination proceeded—l was at Guild hall : I had a summons to appear at the Mansion house, and did appear to it: The defendant here proceeded to examine the wit- DM as to what took place there. . .1 Mr. GURNEY objected to this as irrelevant. The defendant, with great vehemence, iusisted OH, his right to pursue that course. _ shaistierit tinsis alleasPiej la W._ 'plain to him; hilt the defendant continuitik his Anil mated obseriatirlits. his Lcid at last deiltid Lk% to attend, if he had the fapacii)( e ' • . • Waddington.—l believe I hive k a cttf for this Court.

Witness continued.—l do not know whether *4 read it or not. I did not read that pamphlet, nor did any person read it to me. I never was in your room on the first floor after you quitted it. I saw you go into that room. I never purchased anything of you; to my knowledge, that was libellous or blasphemous ? I asked you at Carlile's shop for The Republican, and had it; you took the money. You never refused ml any book to my knowledge. The CHIEF JUSTICE suggested to the Counsel for the prosecution a doubt, from the defendant's con= duct, whether he was perfectly sane. Mr. GURNEY assured his Lordship there Was no suspicion of the kind. The witness went on.—On one occasion I did tell you I would be a friend to you. I did not strike you in your own place, and say I would find you a log. ing. I remember you called me a number of names. The copy of the notice is Duke's writing, not mine. In the course of the cross-examination, the de.: fendant turned and addressed the Jury, expressing his opinion, that as Sodom and Gomorrah would have been saved by one righteous person, so if •there was one righteous person on the Jury he should be spared. The Cour . JUSTICE again expressed his doubts of the defendant's . sanity. . The witness - proceeded.--.I never said I. had no baud .in this.pro.secution ' • (never asked you to drink with me. ; I did ati.to.shake bands with you, as I owed. you no animosity ; buti did •net, to my know ledge, say .

Bow -street, and went with Duke and the last witness to Mr. Poole's on the 4th of May. Duke was on the staircase; and in the afternoon I, Murton, and M r . Poole. being in the back , parlour, Poole's chiughter came down into the name In consequence of what she said, I and. Purton went out of the house, and Duke went up stajrs. I went into the shop ; the defendant was not there at the time. There were titles of books against the wall with hooks attached : there was a rope with a ring hanging from the first floor. I attached to the ring the title of Palmer's Pripciples of Nature, and through the speaking-trumpet 1 asked, , g Have you got that?' I sent up the money in a bag ; the bag was drawn up, and in a short time after the defendant came in. I had not got the book when he came in ; he came from within, and offered me a chair to sit down.— Shortly after a book came down the spout and fell on the floor, and I took it up and went out of the shop and rejoined Parton. I shewed it to Purton, and mat ked it before it went out of my hand. Cross•examined by the defendant.—l asked no questions of you re.pecring the book ; I have asked you for books, and never asked you for any that you did not serve me with. The defendant again desired to have the particu— lars of an examination at Bow -street, and was again informed by the Chief Justice, that that which was in writing he could not examine to. The defendant wished to see the Statute for that, or to know whether he must take his Lordship's opi nion for law? C II 1 EF JUSTICE.—. On this subject it must be so taken. The witness went on.— A t Bow-street I pointed out passages to the Magistrate, The book wasopened; I do not recollect v, twitter you desired it to be shut. The defendant.—" Nor, ,ni ricordo again !" The witness continual.—l had the money from Purton to purcha , e the book. • After some other unimportant questions, the cross examination finished. Itobett Duke examined by Mr. GURNEY.—This witness corroborated the testimony of the two former witnesses so far as the message received from Poole's daughter. lie then went on the stairs and peeped into the loom on the first floor, and saw a little boy and the defendant. There was a candle burning near a hole in the floor. Witness heard Smith's voice from the shop say- 4, have you got that ?" He staid till he saw the defendant. come out of the room. When he came out witness went about six steps higher.— Defendant went down stairs, and witness heard the money chinking in his hand. Shortly after witness went down through Poole's shop into the .street, and went to Bow-street with Purton and Smith. Cross-examined by defendant.—l believe there were two rooms on that floor, one leading into the other. John Ewers Poole examined by Mr. LITTLEDALE. —I am a.tobacconist, at 2QI, Strand ; I occupied the shop, parlour, the whole of the second floor, attics, and the kitchen. When I went to the premises one Clarke had part of the shop, the first floor, the third floor, and one of the attics. Clarke was a bookseller; he left about Lady•day, and Waddington succeeded him, and occupied the. same part of the premises which Clarke had clone. I saw the defendant every day till he went to prison on the 4th May. Cross-examined by defendant—The officers came for the express purpose of taking you ; there were other persons selling books there besides • Defendant—Have you seen Gentlemen Witness —I have seen persons go up from their appearance, I should doubt i Gentlemen I Defendant. —Well, you have seen men Lord," "Gentlemen," ate but nicknames, ship on the Bench is but. a man.
