It was rei)lied that certainly it must, and also the expense of composing; besides that, a space would be taken up which might otherwise be occupied by an advertisement or valuable matter. The Commissioners asked whether it was not often found necessary to make alterations in the style of such productions? The Gentleman who appeared for the defendant re p'•ied, certainly it was often found by the printer abso lutely necessary to make use of his common sense, and make alterations for the benefit of the advertiser and credit of the country, as such execrable stuff was constantly sent that few would read, and fewer still undertatid, if it were inserted in its original form. 'file COURT were clearly of opinion that a News paper Proprietor could not be called upon either to rc•inxrt or return the money fig an advertisement, on the ground of inaccuracy, when that inaccuracy arose from an accidental error that did not materially aiect the sense. It appeared here to have been an ac ,:idental error of that nature: therefore they dismissed the plaintiff's case. after the acceptor of the bill, but could not hear of any such person ; he kept the bill till it was nearly due, and then gave it to his son-in-law to get payment. The prisoner was apprehended about two months after the bill fell due. By Mr. ADOLPIIUS —The bill might have been a week at his son's, and a night at his solicitor's. Had been at Mark-lane and other places. After the bill fell due he called on the prisoner every week, and was always assured that the acceptor would come i forward and pay. Mr. Palmer, son-in-law to Mr. Walker, presented the bill when it became due, at No. 2, Pope's-head alley. It was in the lower part of the house, and there were names or signs in the staircase. These be examined ; Mead was not one of the, names. - By Mr. ADOLPHUS—He went to Pope's-head-alley with the bill when it became due. A clerk to Mr. Guillandean, attorney, in No. 2, Pope's-head-alley, stated that no person of the name of Mead lived there. Remembers Mr. Palmer calling and making inquiries after Mead, and no such per son could be found. He made this inquiry with a view to noting the bill for protest. . By Mr. ADOLPHUS—The apartments above stairs are let by a housekeeper, she furnishing Mr. Guinan dean with the names of those who take Chambers.— No lent had been received from a person of the name of Mead, but he was not sure but such a person might have come there and done business. Mrs. Walker swore to the receipt of the letter. Several witnesses were called by Messrs. ADOLPHUS 'and PLATT, and gave the prisoner a very excellent chat acter. One said he had offered to rent a mill at £6OO, and give Corney the management of it; others ,spoke to the extent of their transactions with him, I and the regularity of his payments. William Moore lives in Bishopsgate-street; he keeps a stationer's shop, and wrote the body of the bill. He ' had drawn several bills for Corney, and this among others. He has seen bills accepted at the time they were drawn, but whether that was the case with the bill in question he could not say. Mr. Justice I3Ay LEY charged the Jury, and directed them, that if the forgery was committed either in Essex or in the City of London, as such it could not come before a Middlesex Jury. The uttering had certainly taken place in Middlesex. If the bill was drawn upon an ideal person, it would, since it purported to be for value received, involve a capital charge. It was evidently a fraud, as it appeared to give two securities, while it only gave one. The Jury retired for three-quarters; of au hour, and on their return found the prisoner—Not Guilty. Tuesday three informations were laid before the Magistrates of Newport, INlonmouthshite, against a printer named Etheridge, for having published a Paper, called the Newport Reeler.* and Monmouthshire Register, on paper not duly stamped. The defend ant was summoned, and attended before the Magis trates, accompanied by his attorney. It appeared in evidence, that the defendant had published several Numbers of the Paper in question at irregular in tervals, whict he did to evade the duties imposed by the Ist of George IV. on periodical publication. The present informations were laid under 38 Geo. III : tap. 78, which imposes a penalty of 201. on the printer rpoblisher of any paper, containing public news or intelligence, to which the proper stamp has not been affize& The defendant produced a paper printed in London, which, he said, was of a similar description to his own, and was circulated without being stamped. In answer to this observation, the defendant was told, that the commission of similar offences by other individuals suuld nut justify that with which he stood charged. After some consideration, the Magistrates informed the defendant they were clearly of opinion his publi cation was within the intent and meaning of 33 Geo 111. cap. 78.; that, in the prospectus, contained in the first Number of his work, he stated it to be his intention to issue, as often as might be found necessary, a register of events which could in any way materially affect the interests of the Public at large ; and that he had subsequently carried that intention into effect, by inserting in his work occurrences of a public and losail noose. They therefore convicted him in three p~llalties of £2O each, which the Act gave them no power of mitigating, and issued warrants of distress for their recovery, under which the defendant's press and types were taken, DRURY-LA NE.—Last night the Opera of Guy Man ;tering was performed to a crowded audience. After the Opera, a Farce, entitled Old and Young, •was pre sented for the first time. Its chief merit, indeed its sole object, consists in affording. an opportunity for displaying the versatility of that surprising girl, " little CLA an FISHER." The plot, if so it may be called, is this :—Mr. Wilton, a gouty, infirm, precise old bache lor, and admirably personated by Mr. TERRY, having been early in life crossed in love, enjoys a life of single blessedness in the delightful regions of Richmond.— Ilk next of kin is a beautiful niece, who has, con trary to his consent, married an Officer of the name of Mowbray, who resides at Lisbon. According to the established and long-cherished custom of such wayward old gentlemen, he considers disobedience to his will a crime of too great enormity ever to be forgiven, and for a considerable number of years he holds no communication with her or her husband.— However, as he descends the vale of years, and his infirmities press upon him, he makes some inquiries after his niece; and by some strange mishap he is in formed that she is the mother of ten beautiful children, ' and in great distress. The old Gentleman's heart re lents, and he resolves to have.the whole family home to live with him, and accordingly writes for them; but it turns out that instead of ten, his niece brings home only one child,.a daughter. In order to deceive the uncle, whose heart is fixed upon the ten children, and to humour his whim, little Matilda (Miss Planar') personates the characters of several little boys, her supposed brothers, and plays such tricks and creates such disorder in the house, that when the old Gentle man is ultimately undeceived, and finds in reality that instead of, nine noisy boys, there is only one quiet and interesting child, nothing can exceed his satisfaction. In order to effect this consummation so desirable, Miss FISIIER appears in a variety of characters anti dresses, after the manner of Mr. MATHEWS, and comes off with eclat in all. It affords a wider range for her juvenile talents than Little Pickle, but the character does not contain so many effective points. However, her successful performance in an entirely new cha racter, at least proves this, that the extraordinary im p' essions site creates are not the result of forced in struction, but of high natural endowments. COVENT-GA RUB/J.—The new Opera of Maid Marian was repeated last night, and the performers having become more perfectly familiarised with their respec tive parts, it went off with the utmost eclat. On the conclusion of the Opera, Mr. ABBOTT apologised for tile inab i l ity of Mrs. —HATTERLEY, through sudden indisposition, to appear in the Afterpiece, The Two Pages of Frcderick the Great, and craved the indul gence of the audience for Miss 13cautaorr, who per formed the part with good effect. Cormac.—The . favourite neiv Pieces at this Theatre meet with much success. Last night, notwieastand ing the inclemency of the weather, the House was respectably filled. Stumm—Mr. H. KrAIBLE's forcible acting, in the well-written Pieces of the Sea Devil, and the Invui, werabls, nightly receive the approbation of admiring audiences. The Tread-Mill also furnishes a high treat for the curious iu prison discfpline.

MILLIS.% LAST DAY'S TASK.—IIe started yesterday morning from the Pigeons to accomplish his toil of four successive days, undertaking to walk 54 miles each day in 1.1 hours, precisely at five o'clock, and did the first 148 milts 28 m. before 9 ; 26 miles more by 10 m. past 9.; 2 by 25 to 10 ; 2 by 10 ; 2, by 26 past 10; 2. by 8 m. to 1r ; 2, by 19 m. past II; 2, by 10 us. to 12; and 5 by B m. to I.—Here he stopped for the first time in the day, and took dinner, making a delay of only 16 m. he then proceeded, and did 8 miles by dace o'clock; 8, by 5; and the last 8, by 51 m. before seven o'clock, to the Crown and Barley Mow, Gray's Inn-lane—thus accomplishing his arduous under , taking.—Miller started in good spirits, the• air was frosty, and everything s?erned favourable to him ; he kept on well until din ner time, when he was obliged to change his shoes, being ex tremely wet and uncomfortable. Ile had not proceeded far on the road, before he found they did not sit easy on his feet, and he was b 0 unfortunately situated as not to be enabled to change them: they caused him great pain, and nothing but his extreme intrepidity enabled him to complete the task. The rain com menced when within the last six miles of his journey, wi i:h, with the torture he endured almost every step he took, from the shoes, had nearly lost bins the match. When he arrived in Gray's lan-lane he seemed greatly fatigued. l'tliller is as reso lute a walker as we ever saw; but tie cried out repeatedly on the road, and at last got quite cross-sick, observing" this was the hardest day's work he le.d ever done. Ile had freque..tly done wonders both in running and walking for one day, but he pledged himself never to undertake a walk of four days any more." Wright may be justly called a Game Chickcn, for he started off from Gray's Inn-lane yesterday morning at- three o'clock, and got to within six miles of Str.ltford, and then walked the ground with Miller for amusement, and came back quite fresh. GAIIE. Tuesday last, 142 pheasantsri7svoodcocks, 3 snipe, 32 hares, 19 rabbits, and 8 partridges, in the whule 22i head sf game, were killed at Halston, by Mr. MI-TM': and Mr. Girrosn. The preservation of game is always an object of much solici tude with true sportsmen, though attention is more frequently paid to the repressing of poachers, an evil comparat:vely than to the destruction of their natural and more numerous ene mies. A game-keeper en an estate in the neighbourhood of Cc.. par has, in the course of the season, killed as inliows: A badger. six polecats, 20. weasels, 52 cats, sic hawks, es carrion crows, and five owls. If gamekeeper:: were in general game killers, and equally diligent in the destrt Cion of such nliFi:hit vous ver min, game would soon be much more abundant than it is now. Tuesday, a burons widow of 84, who had been in that lonely state upwards of three months, and her active swain, betwe n 60 and 70, attended at the Town-llall, Liverpool, to make the affidavit required by the New Marriage Act, that they were re spectively of the age of twenty-one and upwards ! Sunday week dice was not a single christening, mareaje, or burial, at St. Nicholls church, Liverpool—a circurni a ice so uncommon at that church on a Sunday, has not occtrrel for upwards of twenty-four years. Monday, as sewn' drovers were hurrying some oxen through Whitecbapel, one of them darted from the herd, and upset se veral persons, particularly a poor old woman, who was sitting before a little stand of apples ; she was shockingly Bared, auct left apparently dead. In a few moments af:er the =Alai at tacked a man with a load on his shoulders, who was also much hurt, and a poor little chimney-sweeper had one of his arms la cerated. They were all carried to the London Hospital. Wednesday, as Mr. James Williams, a respectable farrier, in the East-India-road, Poplar, was forcing medicine Jown a horse's throat, which had been hit by a dog supposed to be mad, the animal closed his jaws on his arm, and broke it. Eiday, the 15th ult. a melancholy accident oc curred at the passage-boat, Coalport. The boatman's wife being out, he had just pone into the house for the purpose of putting a few coals on the fire ; and in the mean time a woman came to the ‘vaterside, and was waiting to get over ; when a strange man, seeing her in that situation, and it raining very fast, got in:o the boat with the intention of bringing her over ; but he had scarcely got /en yards from the shore, be fore the boatman, who was coming out of a back place where he had been to fetch the coals, saw him through the window, and immediately ran out and desired the man to coarse back, but to r,o purpole.-- In vain did the boatman remind him of the very great danger of his attempt during so high a water. —His obstinacy carried him over in safety; but on returning he gave the'boat too much helm, the consequence of which was, that the boat's side was brought to a right angle with the current of the river, the force of which overturned the boat, and precipi tated both into the water. The unfortunate loung woman was never seen afterwards, her body not hav ing yet been found ;—she was an interesting young woman, had been married about nine months, and expected in about a fortnight to present her husband with a tender pledge of their mntnal attachment.— The man with great difficulty le:idled the shore.
