The new Lieutenant-Governor, of l'artsmo th, Major-General Sir J. I.suN, is the son of a brave 01hcer,who in the American war fell covered with wounds. In very early life he was selected as a companion for Prince Anoreitus, the present Duke of CAM wunct, and was educated with his Royal Highness at the Uni versity of Gottingen. An affectionate friendship was there con ceived, v:hich has been since maitmitned with unabated ardout between the Royal Duke and the gallant General. flaying en tered on the career of arms, Sir ..OMS Lvo' was much distill. guished in Egypt, where his Regiment, " The queen's Ger mans," on the memorable 21st of March, I ail, recaptured from the French the Incincibk S. , iterfkrd, which had been taken by the ll:zhianders , and had again fallen into the hands of the enemy. Tfe Regiment, aft,;t• the peace of Amiens, was incorporated with the line, and numbered the 97th, and afv.rwards the 96th. Ile commanded it during the war in the Peninsula, in the actions of Vimicra, Taravera, and Busaco, when his Regiment, exhausted, and Laving no second battalion to supply it, was sent home a skil , ton, to tecruit. Upon the rising in the north of Germany, in 1815, Sir Jasirs, whose converse with the German languane is perfect, was sent thither with the rank of Major-General, " on the Continent only," and was given the command of a body of ilanoverians, Atoched to the Cs/11S trarnb'e of Count Want:rums, who at that time reported to the Crown Prince of Swins:v.

The Commission for holding the Assizes for the County of Cumberland was opened in this City yes terday evening; after which the Court immediately adjourned. The Crown Calendar is very small, consisting only of twelve different charges. The Cause List con tains forty-eight entries, among which ate three Special Juries. CROSBY FORSTER, ESQ. Mr. BROUGHAM, in a long and eloquent speech, described this to be an action for false imprisonment, brought by the plaktiff, a joiner, in humble circum stances, with a iar,.tre family in this city, against a Gentleman of opulence, and also a Magistrate of Carlisle. The cause of action arose out of the elec tion di3inttes, in re:urninly, a Member to serve in Par liament ; when, it was alleged that the defendant had indulged his personal pride and ambition on that oc casion, and made his Magisterial authority snhseral vient to the party feeling he espoused. The Learned Counsel then called witnesses to prove the injury which the plaintiff complained of. Charles I lart, a cotton-spinner, proved that he was in the mat ket place on the day of election (the 21th 3lay), between nine and ten o'clock in the morning, and remained there the greater part of the day.— The soldiers made their appearance at the place where the poll was taken, about four in the afternoon; he was stir!): iced to see them, as there did not appear to be any cause for it. It was for the election of a City Member. The s'Aiiiers were marched towards the market-place, and there fot med into a hollow square. About twenty minutes after the soldiers came he saw Crosby step forward near to the place where witness stood, and speak to Dr. Easham ; but did not hear the conversation. Crosby then turned round and was going to leave him, and made motions with his hands fur the mob to keep quiet, but seas forced by the pressure of the populace on Dr.Easham, who immediately turned and seized him by the collar, and directed that he should be taken to prison. Mr. I:ulster and the soldiers were close behind him, and the witness did not know to whom the command was given. Mr. Forster took the plaintiff by the collar, and dragged him a little back towards the soldiers, by whom he was, a few minutes afterwards, marched a prisoner to the Castle. The conduct of the plaintiff had been peaceable, and no attempt at violence had 'seen made on his parr. .11(-:..rani.i;:e.1 31r. SCARLETT.—The plaintiff is a cat penter and joiner. The first time he saw Crosby, he was stepping up to Dr. Easham ; the witness had not known the plaintiff before that time. Joseph Dennison's testimony was to the same effect. William Hall deposed, that before the soldiers came there was nothing particular going forward ; everything was quiet. After the soldiers came, the people cried out they her e going to massacre them as they had done at Manchester. The plaintiff de sired the people to keep themselves quiet, as it was not the soldiers who were to blame, but those who sent for them, and also asked if the Riot Act had been read, and by whom, and when, and where ? Crosby then said to witness and those around him, ‘. Keep yourselves quiet," and then left them. Ile soon after wards saw the plaintiff talking with the Doctor, when the crowd rushing on them, the plain tiff was driven against him, and the plaintiff was in stantly afterwards put into the ranks. He was cross-examined by Mr. COURTNEY, but nothing material was elicited from him. Richard Jackson is the Keeper of the County Jail; he received the prisoner into his custody on the 21th of May, fur an assault, on a warrant for further ela mivation, and who remained with him until the 21th July. On the 2.7 ch of May, the witness received a warrant of commitment of the plaintiff fir trial.— Between the 24th and 27th of May, the plaintiff was never cut of his custody, or examined before a Magistrate. Mr. SCARLETT objected to this evidence, as irrele vant to the subject matter in dispute. The COURT overruled the objection. Examihation resumed.—An application was made to the witness to admit the plaintiff to bail. The wit ness had acted under three warrants : the first was dated the 'Alit of May, for an assault ; the second was a charge on the oath cf Dr. Easham, of the plain tiff having riotously and tumultuously assembled on the '27th of May, with others, to disturb the peace; and the this d was received on the 24th of July, au thorising the witness to liberate the plaintiff from his custody. After he was liberated, Mr. Steel, the Un der Sheriff, applied to him, and requested him again to return into custody. Rev. Edward Stanley was at Carlisle Election with Mr. Ellis, a Gentleman of property, on the morning of the '2.3111 of May, when they met Mr. Forster, and Mr. Ellis said he had been wishing to see Mr. Forster, to tender him his bail for Crosby. Mr. Forster had a very large bludgeon in his hand, and said he would knock Ml. Ellis down if he interrupted him. Mr. Forster turned about, and Mr. Ellis said he had been long acquainted with Mr. Forster, and would not be bullied by hint. They went to the prison to offer bail, but finding he was committed for further exa mination, they deemed it improper then to interfere, but promised to return to the plaintiff in two or three days. Mr. Forster is a lientleman of landed property, a Banker, and a Magistrate. SCARLETT, for the defendant, submitted to the Court, as a short way of disposing of the cause, that Dr. Easham had been assaulted, as proved by their own evidence, and that therefore the Magistrate was justified in committing the defendant on his own view of the transaction. The CouRT was of a contrary opinion. Mr. SCA anc rr then addressed himself to the merits of the case. He at considerable length justified the i:onduct of the defendant, and said that this was no thing but a question of party feeling and party poli tics, and improper to be brought into a Court of Justice. By the Constitution of our Government it would be impossible to do without party. He thought it ran in some cases to an excess, but genet-ally it served to keep the Constitution in vigour. This feel ing, he said, was not detrimental to the great political machine of the G&ernment, and he thought when it had operated at an election, it ought there to subside, and not to bt heard of by a Judge and Jury. The plaintiff was no freeman, and therefore could not have a vote. A Magistrate having a vote, had the same feeling as another man, with respect to party, and which was the right was not for him to deter mine. Every man thought his own judgment correct. He protested against heating anything about the mi litary in this case; there had been a bustle and con fusion in the city, and the Riot Act had been read twice, when it was thought necessary to call in the military as a precaution ; but whether that was pm per or improper was not for this Tribunal to decide. The Learned Counsel then charged the plaintiff with conduct highly improper, exciting, by his vio lence, others to a breach of the peace, such as chal lenging them to fire upon the crowd, and using other taunting expressions, and when he was ordered to the Castle, the crowd pel:ed the soldiers with stones. Dr. Easham examined.—lle was at the Market place on the day of the election. A person caught him by the waist of the coat, and pulled him back wards towards the crowd. Ihe defendant was there at the time, and saw it was Crosby. The Riot Act had been read tss ice. He laid an information against the plaintiff for a 'jot on the 27th of May, and should have done it sooner, had he not been engaged from home on professional busicess. It was ag reed on the `26th of May, between the witness; Mr. S alt, and the defendant, that an information should be laid against him. The assault on him was not more than five or ten minutes after the Riot Act had been mad a second time, and he did not know that the plaintiff was pre sent when it was first read. Ile had preferred no bill of indictment against him. Cross examincd.—lle read the Riot Act himself the first time. Thomas Young is a pensioner. Ile was on duty at the Castle. Ile saw Crosby conic forward from among the crowd, and behave in a contemptuous sort of way. He saw him lay hold of Dr. Easham by the waist of the coat, and pull him back towards the crowd. He had heard Dr. Ea4iam read the Riot Act, and the people had conducted themselves very irregularly. Dr. Easham turned round and seized the plaintiff by the collar, and a Military Officer came up, when he attempted to get the sword out of his hand. The Officer separated him from the Doctor. The witness saw stones thrown at the soldiers. Cross eramined.—lle has been in the Police for the last seven months, and is a weaver. He was twenty or twentyfive yards distant. John Barnes, a constable, and William Pearce, spoke to the improper conduct of Crosby. Mr. BROUGHAM feplied. He complained that the plaintiff was committed on the 24th of May for a common assault, for further examination, upon which warrant he had never been examined, and the Ma gistrate had refused to take bail for his appearance. On the 27th he is committed for riotously assembling on the 24th of May, and no further notice is taken of the first warrant, but it is framed in such an ambi guous way, that it was generally supposed that the plaintiff was detained as a capital felon, arid was ac tually published in the Calendar of malefactors for trial at the last Assizes, and the Under Sheriff had attempted to prevail on him to return, thinking he was improperly discharged. At the expiration of two months, when the Assizes were about to com mence, he is discharged without being indicted for any offence. The Learned Counsel concluded a long and able speech, by recommending the Jury to com pensate the plaintiff, and teach the defendant justice. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 1:10 10s. costs 40. LAMB V. DLIFTLIN. Mr. BROUGHAM said, the plaintiff was a most re spectable yeoman, at Emar-bridge, and, besides cul tivating his own ground, he was a butcher at Pen rith. 'I he defendant was a wealthy yeoman also. The charge was most malicious and groundless, for no justification was entered on the record. John Lamb.—l am the son of the plaintiff. I saw the defendant at market on the 20th of February. He is a salesman. He came and asked my father, " Have you got two sheep of mine in your field:" My fa ther said, they were not in yesterday. Dufton said he had had them for a long time, and set his mark upon them. Ile told my father he would take them ass ay. My father said he would bring an action against him if he took them away without my father seeing whether they were his or not : if he would come next morning, he might have them if they were his ; he wanted nothing but his own. The field was a mile from Penrith. I told him next morning they were not ours. He said, " You have gone too far : now I am in the prosecution bond, and you must take the consequence." I told him we did not mark the sheep. He said, 44 D—n you, 1 must have you in another country." Damn came again to my fa ther's stall, and said, 64 What are you going to do about them sheep ?" I said they weie not ours, and we had nothing to do with them. Ile said, " You are a set of sheep-stealers." My father said, 4 4 Do you call me a sheep-thief?" He said, " Yes; it is not the first time." As he was going out of the sham bles be said, " You are a set of sheep-stealers." Ile said he would acquaint Mr. Pearson with it. Mr. Pearson is clerk to the Association for Prosecuting Felons. They were black-faced sheep. They had not been in the field on the 18th. My father is seventy. He has land of his own, and he farms some land.— They came into the field again. Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT.—He was a very great blackguard, and I pushed him away; and then my father came, and he called him a sheep-thief.— He (Dutton) had a sere lip, and it began bleeding. A deal of people believed it, that my father was a sheep-thief. I have not been to measure Mr. I)uf ton's estate. I do not know that my father sent to value it. It was the second time he came that the lip bled. Joseph Bellas was at Penrith market, and advised them to get right if they got wrong. Dillon called them sheep-stealers, and said they got other people's sheep and marked them for their own, and said he would prosecute them. Witness went away ; he thought it was mere nonsense for him to stay and hear thran quarrelling for two sjieep. Ile never knew btu what was deter of tcmtny taint); he Was a hard dealing man. Christopher Fellowfee.ing, a butcher in Penrithi gave bimilar testimony. Mr. Scaut.m.—Weil, Gentlemen, mint damages will you give? In Cumberland such actions are generally valued from one farthing to a dUlling. .Verdict for the plaintifF—Damages One Shilling. ANECDOTES FROM LADY MOIiGAN'S " ITAL Y "—(tuni INNOVATION. Her Nlajesty the Queen of Sardinia i s so hostile td everything that looks like innovation upon that social order established by the House of Hapsburg, that even vaccination has not, it is said, escaped her Royal censure. On hearing that the Governor's balls were over at two in the morning, she expressed her surprise at hours so revolutionarily early; and observed, that it was the efFect of vaccination, which left the young, people feeble, and unable to bear fatigue! THE MAID AND TDB MAGPIE A noble Lady of Florence, who resided in a house which still stands opposite the lofty Doric column which was laiseJ to commemorate the defeat of Piet:o Strozzi, and the taking of Sienna, by the g ranitic coaqueror of both, Cosmo the First, lost a valuable pearl necklace, and one of her waiting women (a very young girl) was accused of the thefts Having solemnly denied the fact, she was put to tor ture, which was then given a plaisir at Florence.-. linable to support its terrible infliction, she acknow ledged that " she was guilty," and without further trial was hung. Shortly after Florence was visited by a tremendous storm; a thunderbolt fell on the figure of Justice, and split the scales, one of which fell to the earth, and with it tell the ruins of a mag pie's nest, containing the pearl necklace ! These scales are still the haunt of birds, and I never saw them hovering round them, without thinking of those good old times," when innocent women could be first tortured, and then hung on suspicion. AN ITALIAN CONNOISSEUR. At the period of the French invasion, there stood at the head of the Gallery and the Arts in Florence 44 Dirretore della Galleries," one whose enthusiastic love of both still makes the subject of many a plea sant anecdote in the Florentine circles—the Cavaliers Puccini. Of this arduous Director of the Museum and zealous guardian of the Venus de Medicis, the Ilespei ian dragon 44 was but a type ;" one object only had ever divided his passion for the Fine Arts, and that was his taste for the gastronomic ones.— , Torn by contending inclinations towards the cabinet and the kitchen, he is said to have habitually cons founded the phraseology of both—to have talked of the Venus as a " cosa do tnangiare," and of " wouton a la braise," as being of the true French School.—:. Pointing out the best pictures of the Gallery, one day, to a Roman Gentleman, in his usual stain of culinary criticism, he observed of one, 44 Come questo quadra butiroso!" (How buttery this picture is !)—of ano• Cher, 4 4 Come Z. midolloso !" (How full of marrow this is!) 44 If you say another word," interrupted the virtuoso, licking his lips, 44 I shall eat them !"—• " Slate ; sc no, lo manic!" GEORGE lII.—At the unhappy period of the late KING'S illness, when every word was weighed, when every look was scanned, several of the attendants at Windsor were more than once thrown into astonish , ment at the remarks of the Illustrious Sufferer. One afternoon, Colonel G— was desired to play a game of draughts with the Sovereign, by way of passing away the time. His MAJESTY, as at other intervals, uncommonly lucid, kept his adversary's skill on the watch for an advantageous move. At length the opportunity arrived, when the Colonel exultingly said, " Now, Sir, I shall beat you ; for I am going to make a King." —" Then," said the Monarch, look ing significantly, " you cannot make a more unhappy thing !"—Percy Anecdotes. ANECDOTE OF LORD DE DUNSTANVILLE.HIS Lordship, whose wealth and benevolence are ex tensively known, was one day walking in the planta. Lions of evergreen which surround his fine mansion at Tehidy, in Cornwall, and finding a woman there gathering sticks, and plucking the withered branches of the shrubs; he told her she had no business there, but was committing a trespass, and ordered her to be gone. The poor woman, like the woman of Sama ria, did not know who it was that spoke to her, and answered very abruptly, " Who's to mind such a cross old creature as you are; I am sure my Lord himself would say nothing if he was here, for he is a oreat friend to the poor." His Lordship turned away, but sent a servant to inquire who she was? and find- ing she was a widow with a large family in distress, he kindly gave her a pension of £lO per annum. A contract was entered into on Friday last, by the Guardians of the Poor of Canterbury, to supply the Workhouse with bread for the ensuing three months, at 4id. per peck loaf, under the assize price. liors.—The picking is expected generally to com mence this day week. The duty is estimated at from £190,000 to £195,000. A Gentleman, who has been travelling through So mersetshire and Devonshire, wrote to a friend last week as follows:—Notwithstanding all the predictions, all the apprehensions, of the farmers, the wheat harvest is generally a productive one : it is true there are some exceptions, but they are only exceptions arising from exposures to different winds and aspects, and other unaccountable causes. The greater part of the wheat appears to be cut, as far as I was enabled to judge from the neighbourhood of the road. The barley, which appears to be universally a great crop, is begun upon about Taunton, and the continuance of the happy weather will soon terminate the labours of the agriculturist." The corn, both cut and standing, must have been greatly benefited by the sun and wind of the last four days, and if the weather proves the same through out the present week, much wheat will, no doubt, be carried. CORN EICHANCF, MARE.R.ATIF, Srrr. s.—The advance in the price of Flour on Monday induced the millers to increase their stocks of Wheat, and large 5..1e4 were made, which nearly cleared the whole of the supply from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk ; but we had a few fresh arrivals from the latter County, which met heavy sale at Monday's prices, owing to the appearance of a favourable change in the weather. The Oat trade was also dull at Monday's prices. In Barley, Peas, and Brant, there it 1.(1 ah‘l::tioat
