OLD BAILEY-41111i)11 —gewb..i. Mrs. Illargarsi Salami, for cutting and maiming be husband, was arraigned this morning, and pleaded N o t Gu il ty . Sbe was much affected. Her trial will come on i n the course of the day. Her husband, we under stand, still keeps out of the way. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 6. LONG V. HURST. . Mr. GURNEY stated the plaintiff's case. The action, he said, was brought for the amount of a bill of ex dose for £l5O, and a tavern bill•for £Bl6. The de fendant, who had a considerable fortune, came to the plaintif f s -Masse in March, 1819, and continued to re side there till the month of September in the same year, in which time he incurred this debt. Joseph Long, brother of the plaintiff, stated, that in the year 1819, the defendant came to reside at his bro ther's house, and had all the at ticles in the bill prodaced. The defendant lived in the style of a Gentleman of ra nk and fortune. Witness proved the defendant's ac ceptance of a bill of exchange for £l5O, which he, wit ness, discounted for the drawer, and indorsed to the plaintiff. The defendant left the hotel in September; his bill was furnished to him, and he expressed great satisfaction at the attention lie received, and said the p l a i n tiff would be the fist person he would pay. In alay,lB2o, witness called on defendant for payment, who he repeated his promise to pay, and also pro: wised to pay the bill of exchange. In the year 1821, defendant came to plaintiff's house with Mr. Robins, his Attorney, and proposed to pay 10s. in the pound, and asked time for the remainder. Mr. &samarr observed, that he would prove that the defendant was an Attorney's clerk at the time he lived at Long's. William Bell, a waiter at Long's Hotel, was exa mined fox the plaintiff. He stated, that he heard the defendant say, while at the hotel, he had E7OOO a year. Mr. SCkRLETT, for the defendant, made a most able and laughable defence. ' He stated, that his client was son of a respectable man in moderate ch cumstances, and. had.been.articled to an Attorney. The young man, however, knowing that lie was to come into possession of £l5OO a year on the death of an old Lady, and having probably read the popular Novel of Si.t Weeks et Lou's,' he thought more of educating himself for high life when he should come into possession of his property, than for the legal profession, left his office, and took up his abode at the hotel, with two of his friends, and the consequence was, as might be expected, that in the course of a few months they all three found. themselves in the King's Beneh'prison, and the young man, when he came to his property, was involved and embarrassed beyond redemption. The Learned Counsel went on to state, that at the time the debt was con tracted, the defendant 'was a minor, and had a com fortable home at the house of his parents, and could sot, therefore, require necessaries at Long's. The Learned Counsel adverted to a partnership that sub sisted with the proprietor and waiter at a well-known house att Cambridge, where the inordinate gluttony of the waiter became the theme of general conversation, and many students went to see him drink six bottles of Champagne at a sitting. The students paid for the wine —it was dranit, and the young Gentlemen were struck with amazement how clererly the-waiter swallowed the 'dose, and still remained sober—at last one of them, with a little more sagacity than -the rest, insisted on having one glass with the waiter, when he found that the wine was merely coloured water. A carriage had been set up, a smoking-pipe, or hookah, which cost seventy-fiveguineas, and a snuff-box, for which eighty guineas had been given, and these had been left with the plaintiff to dispose ef, so that he had been more than overpaid any charge that he could reasonably have against the defendant, even if he were liable. The defendant's father, and the Solicitor to whom he, was articled (Mr.• Robins) preyed, the first, that his son was born in 'April, 1799, and had been sent to Mr. Robins in 1816 ; he had quitted him without his pa rent's knowledge, and the tither hearing that he fre quented Longs Hotel, went there, and left word that his son was a minor, and an articled Clerk, sad ought not to be harboured there. Mr. GURNEY, in reply, contended that, it fraudu lent for the defendant to partake of the luxuries of tong's Hotel, and then turn round and plead his a:li sooty for the non-payment of his debt. After an hour's consultation, the Jury found a Ver dict for the defendant. • The Dowager Countess of STAMFORD had a select circle sit fashionable, Saturday evening, at her house in Charles-street, Berkeley-square. A letter from an Officer of his Majesty's ship OWEN GLENDO*ZR dated Cape Coast, September 5, says.:— .1 . 1 very tnb ch regret to say, Qnat our excellent Com modore, Sir llonza'r MENDS, was on Wednesday the 3cl inst. seized with an apoplectic fit, and expired yesterday morning about six o'cloCk s be did not utter more than half a dorgn words after he was seized, and those were about his dear children: he was not ill quite forty-eightk hours. He was buried at Cape Coast this morning at eight o'clock. Nb other Captain being in company, Lieutenant PRINGLE STOKES read his commission as Captain. Captain PESCI GRACE, of the CYRENE, is the senior Commander on the Coast, and consequently will assume the Pat rank cbmmand of this ship, and of the Coast. The BANN is apected to be sent with dis patches to gagland." Anther Extensive Robbery in Lincoln's Inn.—Early en Saturday morning the shop of Mr. DUNCOMBE, Law Stationer, New-square, Lincoln's Inn, was broken into, and property in cash and bills to a large amount, to gether wish some bill and receipt stamps, was taken away. Very fortunately, some valuable ad valorem atastsps were overlooked, or the loss would have been .Inuch more serious. The lock of the iron chest with ihree strong bolts was picked, and also a padlock _which -was attached kir additional-security via" broken to pieces, as the thieves found it impossible to pick it. Two se parate locks also on the outer door were picked. Notice was immediately given to the Police Office, in Hatton.. gardens, and.the officers are on the alert ; but no clue titut might lead to a dim ovary had been obtained at a late hour last evening. Ale Society of Lincoln's But have offered a reward of £5O on' the conviction of the , offender or offenders. MT.DUNsoiles did not leave the shop Rill. ball past 10 o'clock on. Friday night, wine *everything was perfectly secure: -and on the laundress. eing-sit eight o'clock on Saturday siorning, as usual, so light the fires, the loss was , discovered. THE LATE EARL OF HOPETOUN. -,.-- Wednesday last .a numerous meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen took place at three o'clock, in the.large room of the Waterloo Tavern, Edinburgh, for the purpose of adopting such measures as should be most ad visable for transmitting to posterity a - per, nanent record of respect for the distinguished professional talents, as well as the private virtues of the late General, the Earl of Hope• toun. Perhaps a More respectable and splendid com pany never assembled for a similar purpose in Edin burgh. It was attended by upwards of SOO, embracing many of the most distinguished individuals of both political parties ; thus affording a gratifying proof of the exercise of that liberal and enlightened feeling which can appreciate and admire public and private virtues wherever they are seen; a feeling of which the character and conduct of the Noble Earl, deceased,offers a brilliant example, who, in his zealous attachment to his political views, never suffered public opinions, in the slightest degree, to interrupt private .friendships. Among those present, were the Earls of Rosslyn, Lau derdale, Roseberry, Elgin and Kincardine, Lord Justice Clerk, Lords Alloway, .Balgray, Gillies, Herniand, Meadowbank, Pitmilly, and Mackenzie; the Lord Advocate, Sir John Oswald, Sir Henry Moncrieff, Sir Walter Scott, Sir A. Maitland eibson, Sir John Sin clair, Sir Robert Dundas, Sir David Milne, Sir William Arbuthnot, &c. • General Sir David Baird, the friend • and companiori l l in arms of the late Earl, was unanimously called to 1 1 the Chair. The Earl of Rosslyn ' in an eloquent speech, moved, that such a monument should be erected to the memory of the illustrious deceased, as would best trans mit his nairie to posterity, and inspire our future warriors to admire and emulate his virtues. The motion was seconded by Sir John Oswald, of Dunnikier, and catried. by acclamation. The Earl of LAUDEROALI communicated to the meeting, that he had authority from his Royal High ' ness the Duke-of York to subscribe onetundred pounds, and from his Grace the Duke of Wellington to sub scribe the sam: sum. LORD BYRON'S LAST PUBLICATION. CANTOS XII. XIII. AND yr. or DON JUAN. It is with much pleasure we extract the following passage front the number of this work just published, displaying as it does a due and laudable honesty of feeling on the part of his Lordship towards his present Majesty GZORGS IV, • He saw, however, at the dosing Session, • That noble sight, when redly free the nation, - A King in constitutional possession Of such a throne as is the proudest station, Though despots know it not...till the progression Of freedom shall complete their educatlol. 'Tis not mere splendour makes the shew august To eye or heart—it ii the people's trust ! There too he saw (whateer be may be now,) A Printe, the Prince of princes, at the time Withlascitiation In his very-bow, And full of promise, as the spring of prime. Though royalty was written on his brow, He bad the grace, too rare in every dime; Of being, without alloy of fop or bean, A finished Gentleman from top to toe! -... . • t• EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTIMENT AND FORTUNATE ESCAPE. -~_ . . About twelve o'clock on Saturday night last, as the. family of Mr. Elsegood, Apothecary, of Park -street, Grosvenor-square, were preparing to retire to rest, Mrs. Elsegood hearing a noise in the street, desired Mi. Else good to look out and see where the fire was, which she was sure was in the immediate neighbourhood, as a fire engine had stopped almost at their own door. Mr. Else. good looked from the window, and found that a chariot which had stopped at the hpose next his own had - caused Mrs. Elsegood's alarm. The family then retired. About half-past two o'clock yesterday morning Mr: F.hegbod was awakened by a strong sensation of suffocation, nod was immediately convinced that his room was full'6o smoke. He jumped out of bed, opened the door of hit chamber, but closed it immediately upow perceiving the staircase in flames. Mrs. Elsegood war by_tbis time iit? strong hysterics. Witli a heavy :chair • Mr. Elsegood broke through a nailed up door, which , communicated. with the aoining room in. Which slept four of hi, 'children an ds maid sereant. To escape was the next :point to be considered, when he fortunately recollected that three years before he had from presentiment prO , vided a rope with a noose, as a mode by which to save himself in case of file. The want did bat forerun his 'need. Faitelling this round the waist of the servant; he lowered her first from the roof of the house into the street, and in succession three children and 7 Mrs. Else good. Fastening the end of the rope., to a rafter, he next prepared to descend himself, and had gone down some feet, when recollecting that he had left a tin boa, containing deeds, papers, and cash, on the parapet, he re-ascended,secured it, and reached the ground in safety: Then finding that one of his children was missing, he., dew to his shop, found the door opened, and the child standing inside, having run down the burning staircase without any other injury than the burning of its cap and the singing of its hair. A servant who slept in the kitchen was next extricated. By prompt exertions the{ fire was almost immediately got under, bate very find lad who slept in the shop is missing. He must have' been fully dressed with the exception of bis hat, and the, shop door having been opened from the inside, leaves room to hope that he has escaped but the cause of the fire and of his disappearanceremains a mystery. We are sorry to add that Mrs. Elsegood remains alarmteisly ill EDINBURGH, Dec. S.—December has set in with the characteristic storms of winter. Since Saturday evening we have had heavy falls of raid, with high winds. Sun day there were some hail showers, and in the afternoon of that day several loud peals of thunder to the east. ward. During the whole of Wednesday night it blew a hurricane from the westward, with heavy rain-and sleet. The neighbouring and distant hills are covered with snow.—Wednesday morning, during a strong gale, a sloop, laden with barley, in attempting to make. Leith harbour, was driven against the pier, and knocked to pieces, by the violence of -the storm. There were four men and a boy ma board at the time. The men were saved, but the boy foil from the rigging intathe water, and was unfortunately drowned. The Court of Cassoion at Pais hat rejected Ces Tu ao's Appeal. Mr. MORT CAUSING having presented- the Royal l Letters . Patent appointing him British Consul"Gentili( at Harnbargh, has been recognised by the &nate id that quality. NA PAL INT ELLIGEN'CL . ). LOSS OF SHIPPING Di Tat LATE GALES. The loigantine Betsey, Herren Master, '390 tons burden, cair.e on shore off Seaford Beach on Sunday morning, the '3uth ultimo, about four o'clock. She struck at sane considerable distance front the shore, at low water, lad for mate than-two hours the crew, consisting of thirteen (one pf whom" was a woman, the Captain's wife) remained on hoard in the most appalling state of danger. The accident was speedily known in the town, the inhabitants of which Rocked immediately to the shore, but stood for a long time inactive spectators of the distressing scene, being utterly incapable of V afford- Al a a 7 . ;effectual assistance. A mortar was fired' with Captain s apparatus, but, owing to the extreme darkness and confu-• deo, the rope thrown could not be distinguished by the poor fel lows from their own cordage. By this attempt, however, and by Hite blue lights which were shewn from the shore, their spirits were dwered with the hope of assistance and subsequent safety. About albs o'clock the vessel parted, and the crew were compelled to trust themselves to the mercy of the waves ; and by their own eitertions,. 'and the prompt assistance that was afforded them by many of the spectators, who rushed into the sea for the benevolent purpose, twelve of the crew were happily preserved, and without their re ceiving any considerable injury. The second mate, Timm As I IA ants, (who, with two others, attempted to reach the shore on the mast), was the uuly one who perished. The Captain's wife, a pleasing young woman, was saved by the exertions and presence of mind ot her husband, who, before they leaped from the ship, bad fastened a rope round bet body, with which, having gained the sore himself, he calmed her to be dragged front the devouring elente.n. The poor woman was humediately conveyed to bed in a state of great ex haustion, from which it was some time before she ree Jeered. The body of the mate, in a very mutilated state, was pieced up next morning. The vessel, and t he g r ea t es t p a r t of the cre.v, belong to South Shields. She was laden willt.timber, and bound to Hull, from Richebucto, in the province of New Brunswick. 'lite Cap tain, it appears, mistook the lights at Newhaven Ilarb tar for those of Dungeness. In less than an hour after the crew had left her, the vemel•was literally dashed to pieces, so that not two planks re mained together. NID`UA SEN. Dreams& 5.--Yesterday morning Mr. Honcsoas of Birling, the eget!! to the Deputy Vice-Admiral for Sussex received information that a number or pieces of timber had float 'd op shore between Crowlink and Birlieg.gap, supposed to be part of the Betsey, wrecked at Seaford, on the 30th ult. On Mr. HODGSON approaching the shore, and examining the timbers, he was satisfied that the timbers did not belong to the Haney. On proceeding further westward be found, near Crowlink-gap, the anchors, cables, sails, masts, rigging, acc. of a vessel, supposed to be a foreign brig; the hull was so complete a wreck that there was no clue to ascertain what her name was, or from whence she came. Every person on board, it is supposed, bas perished. From there being no appear ance of cargo, it is supposed the vessel must have been in ballast. A boy was this morning picked up at Birling-gap, supposed to be one of the crew of this vessel. The anchors, cables, &c. and mangled rigging, have been drawn to Birling-gap, the gap at Crow. link being too bad for waggons to get up. It is feared Reuther ves sel has been lost on this coast, as two large spars have been picked up amongst the Betaey's storey that do not belong to that vessel. A brig passed this phrt on Wednesday afternoon, in distress ; it is sup posed the vessel lost at Crowlink is the same. - The Grand Turk, bound to New York; and the Erin, ......, bound to Wexford, were on shore near Liverpool on Friday night, the latter full of water. . _ Captain Ettiorre C.B. is appointed to command the Limy, of 48 guns, fitting at Chatham for foreign service.

He advanced towards me with a cheerful step and smiling counte• nance. Mr. Wilson, the Gove.rnor, was present. I *lever saw Thuttell look better; in fact, his personal appear ance was much improved.

E.—No, upon my word, I have not written a Single line at pre• seat about you to the Pub:ie. T.—Well, I feel obliged to you. But what a piece of work this affair has made, an't it ?—(feeling fur his snuff-box, and looking down at bis fetters.)

Do ,I appear dejected ?—(laughisq. ) Those who know me well, know that 1 have done nothing to be dejected about. E.—You have seen the newspapers then? T.—Yes, lam now reading the whole of them. It Is too bad; the paragraphs are all false. I never committed any senses crime in my life. My friends know it full well.

I, indeed, kill Weare, and take his money I It is well known that I have been more duped than engaging to dupe others) and when I first entered the sporting world, no, person behaved more honourably than I did, 'or spent his blunt more freely. There was bet one individual who stood to he shot at like myself, and that was the late unfortunate Elliot. Did not I make a fight at • Norfolk for one hundred pounds aside, when I could only collect seven pounds, although I was sur rounded by all the swells in the metropolis, and 55,000 persons were present?—('llse recollection of this circumstance seemed to give him great pleasure, as he smiled and was quite aohnated.)

But I shall not be tried now.

Aye, he wished me to appear some time since on the stage, as Hi hard the 77tird. o:ay.—(til:col lecting himself, .and rasing from his seat. with the greatest iodig. nation.) Could anything be more cruel, unmanly, or diaboli cal, than to publish In a playbill at the Surrey Theatre, that the Shake and horse should be eshibited in which it is said I committed the murder? It is a moat infamous falsehood; and the Frees has dealt with. me most unfairly. Mr. Wilson.—Mr. Tburtell, I wish to call your attention-to a let ter I have received from Barber Beaumont. He wished me to reedit . to you. He wisbes you to answer whether you set your house en fire? T.--(With great indignation)What do.you think of such a fellow, to send such a letter to m—to divert my attention ism: this period? An answer, indeed ! To acknowledge setting fire to spy house.
