COURT BENCH, JUIX 11. • toitt This was an action by Mr. Cort against Mr. Wil-, lan, Who 14 the proprietor of the Bull and M;puth Inn, and very extensively concerned in public conveyances thioughotit the kingdom,..for expressions reflecting on his charieer. the Sntterron-GisinAL stated, that the plaintiff had been for three years, previous to the offensive llitgaige, a clei kin the employ of the defendant,' in iehich situation he had 'conducted hiniself with in iegrity and hohour. He was also SoCreiary to the Committee of London Carriers, and was about to Make a highly advantageous arrangement with Messrs. Brown and Wallington, for the conveyance of specie hum Manclie,ter to London. One *day in November, last year; Mr. Welkin, without provocatiOn, ordOed BIM td quit his *Sit vice, and charged hitn with having embezzled money which he had received for him in §mithfield: "In Consequence of this imputation, Messrs. Brown and Wallington, though convinced of its falsebUnd, felt that they should not be jitstified in • permitting him to exercise a great public trust, and he was compelled to seek' from the verdict of 'a Jury the complete vindication of his griod fame. • Mr. French, a Obi-led Mi. koied that the 'defendant came,•apparently irritated, to the ofgce l bsi the day in question, and charged the plaintif with Ombeisling money'. But it appeared front **O. iiionf of the witness, that *Mr. Willan, now in his seVenty-'seientli year, after a life of very Active exer tion! had suffered that decay in his faculties which might beeipeeted froM his protracted exertions; that those about him knew that he was sometimes afflicted viith niiscOncePtions which it was hard to 'dissipate ;' fad that there was no malice exhibited in hii general, iondUct ea'the plaintiff. On the contr ary, he hid; his influence as Chairman Of the Committee . of Lon don Carriers, procured him the situation of Secretary. The withisi was quite sure there was nothing in the' c )nduct of the plaintiff on which a charge of dis honesty could be grounded. Mr. SoAnLErr, who appeared for the defendant, rase and begged to state that there was not the smallest ground for the charge conveyed in the expres ions, or for imputation on the plaintiff's character. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE suggested the propriety of not proceeding further in a cause, the real end of which was attained by the avowal now made on the part of the defendant. After .some discussion between the Counsel, this suggestion was acceded to, and a Juror withdrawn, on the distinct understanding that there was no sus picion resting on Mt .. .Cott, and on payment (f costs by the defendant, as between attorney and client. OLD DAILEY SESSIONS. Yesterday, James Stephenson and Thomas Harris were convicted of stealing 571bs. of lead, value 7s. the property of the King, from a dwelling-house, in the neighbourhood of Soho. The Sessions having terminated, the RECORDER passed sentence of death on the following unhappy individuals, viz. Mary Seakins, John Kerns, Charles Marsh, and Mary Ann Andrews, for stealing in 'a dwelling-house;' and Eliza Capps lila James Annesley, for highway robbery. Jan Garien, alial Ineekr, who was convicted in the April Sessions; and whose judgment was then stayed on account of pregnancy, was put to the bar, but having no further cause to .hew why her sentence ihould not be executed, she also received sintence of death. • The following were sentenced to be transported fir life, via. John Chambers and William Black. Fe& Foonvarat Yeats—John Williams, Isaac Norris, and George Walker.

John William Henry Ritchingham, for bigamy, was sen tesiced.to one year's imprisonment in the House of Correction, acid William Milian for stealing a considerable quantity of linen drapery, to two years' confinement in the same jail. Several were ordered to be confined for various periods, and no be publicly and privately whipped, and others were dii charged by proclamation. The Sessions was the' adjourned to the 13th of September. it• is highly gratifying to notice the decrease of capital convictions. At the cot responding Sessions last . y e ar, 'l9 were sentenced to death—at the pre sent only xi*, which is the smallest that has occurred for the last eighteen years. None of the cases are Marked se ith circumstances of peculiar aggravation, and it is Confidently hoped that this Sessions will piss over withoitt-'an execution. MIDDLESEX SFASIONS, JULY tienbotti was indicted for publishing cer tain Obscene.' libel's. The indictment contained 12 counts, ten of which contained extracts frOtif a Ma gazine and Novel published by the defendant, and the other two described prints contained in those works. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated the case for the prosecution. He said thiptosecution was instituted by the Society . for the Suppression of Vice against the defendant, not for one, but for a persevering publicatiOn of libels. In the beginning of the present year, the defendant, whn had kept a shop in the Strand, retn.,ved to Cas tle -street, Leicester-squire, - where he commenced the publication . of a periodical work, callVd 4 The Rani bier's Magazine; .. passages front which formed some of the Coistitilit the indictment.

Cato logues of some of the principal circulating libraries, which we presume - contained the novel' in quistibii, were handed to the witness, but he declared he kneW nothing of them. 'He was never sent to Mr. Mur ray's to. buy any book. He had been three years in the employment, and had been thirty years. in the Customs. He did not know why he was discharged; the Lords of the Treatury thought his case 'a hard one, and allowed 'him a pension. The indictment was here read, and the libels charged compared with the passages in the books proved by the witness ; one of the libels was a song. 'the read ing of the libels, which occupied an hour, being ended, - Air. C. PHILLtps addressed the Jury for the de fendant. He began by observing that the defendant hadreceived,a written notice from the 4ecre t aij that his trial would not'irike place till Friday, and at eight o'clock last night he received notice that his trial must come on to-day, which left his advocate Wholly unprepared: Mr. AnoLpHua examined Mr..Pritchard t the Se cretary of the Society, who confirmed Mr . Phillipit's Statement, and on hit CrOss•examination said the So. ciety'llAd not given the defendant any admonition or, notice of their intention before they prosecuted. He , also proved a printed report of 'the procee.iings - Of, the Society produced to blue* -Mr. Phillips. ~ 'Mi. PHILLIPS proceeded.—He said,' his client was' an huMble, unprotected man, persecuted by a So ciety whO had never yet been known; since their first institution, to prosecute a rich man. Their cOnduct was caletdated to justify the remark of Lord flacon, who said, that laws were cobwebs which Catch little, His% and s hich the great ones break through. Under pretence of 'supporting morality and 'religion, the, viee-'seppreasors have dared to publish a lie Under their hands-they have published to the world that 'they only prosecute for libel, when admonition has fieled—their Secretary has proved that they prose cuted the defendaitt without any admonition. Mr. Adelphis hid adMitted that the ,publication of ,the Novel . was of hint standing. It wat'trinslitted into English itt the year 1789, and wassto be had at all the great circulating libraries. Mr. Adolphui had said, he did not trios, :oblate defendant had left his house in the Straticl: he might have known it—it was because Mr. Benbosv was prosecuted by another gang, who proCtiredhiat to be imprisoned ten ninths, and then' turned him Out''Of his dungeon without 'daring to bring 11iin hi s trial, hit last 'shilling gone, 'and handy brought' to rain. These were modern Champions of Christionity By aid of the money 'which they extracted from dupes by. Case pretences, they dragged to the Bar and 'to the dUngeon poor men, who *ustbe ruined by the expense , though ac quitted' of the' Charge; While the *rich 'Woe Suffered to saturate themselves in crime. The song they had heard Was truly ridiculous as a tubiect of prosecution: there were 4 . that moment a . htindred worse on the music-tahlei of the daughtert of the vice-suppressors.' Without a vicious imagination the works were harm less, and with it scarcely any works would be so.— Not a Novel, out of which Willie* . might not be picked by the ilee-suppressors to m ate a libel. 'As' tor the pictures,' there was no one who had visited the,' picture-galleries °rule great, who bad not *en 'man* 1 more exceptionable. They were to be seen at Carl- ton House, at Windsor, at the Marquis Of Staffiira's, and at thoethiSitions at Somerset House, which the most modest Ladies aid lor adinission to see. If the Society had performed their promise** the'Public, end' admonished the defendant before they proceeded to prOSecute hit* they might be entitled to some credit for their motives; but *hire the Christian vo lume says " forgive, b. diey say iiperiecute;" Where CHnisr says, « let him that is without sin amongst you cast the first stone," instead of being abashed, they unite their power to ertish . a peer man. • The CH a taw AN ShOrtiy charged the jut y; that they were the ..

He did not 'presume to say that such was the case, but he entertained that :opinion ; and the moment 'be saw Mr. Jaques Breton enter the 'room he determined in his own mind to put ' it to the proof.— . flirolieit, knowing Mr. Jaques Breton's constitutional irrascibi lity, and unwilling to wound his feelings before the English Gen tiemenpresent; he. addresied hip in .Freaeh, yin.

She is but fifteen years and 4x months old, although she has the appearance of being consider ably older. 'Horatio Reevelis about 25 years of age. On their elOpeMent front Litter being discovered; every possible czar port was made in pursuit of them. They weir traced to Bris tol, and to have left that place by the Regulator coach for LAO• don, where they arrived on Monday the Ist instant, when all trace of them ceased; but every Possible exertion was made by the agents in Loudon to the parties interested, to prevent their being married, deicribing their persons, and cautioning clergy loan against marrying them. No trace could be made tiU Wed iseaday night, when Bishop the Bow-street oficer discovered Item at a lodging at Ilexton. It was just - about dusk in the evening whets Bishop alighted at a short distance from the house in which he believed the lovers were cOncealtd; he left his coach in waiting, and walked in silence towards the house. Not the slightest sound was heard from within; biit he had nu sooner lifted the knocker than the door was opeued by a young Lady, fully equipped for travelling : it was the fair fugitive, Prusilla herself ! She was surrounded by trunke, and band.boxes, and Mandl's; and, as it afterwards apit , id, sbe wai at that vet y moment waiting the return of her biUseal-idratio, who was gone to call a coach to convey them to some tither place of refuge; " your name, I believe, Miss, is Drusilla Street—and you are lately arrived from Exeter ?" said Bishop. " 0 dear, no; Sir !" exclaimed the Lady, " I ant Miss • the daughter of the Mistress of this houir. Bishop remarked, that he bad no doubt she was telling and desired her to introduce hint to her mother. No, she could not do this, as she was just going out; but if he would walk into the parlour, her mother would come to him presently. Bishop Was-not - to be had in this ivay, and so, taking the Lady by the hand, he led het into the parlour, mid haiing rang the bell, the Idistreis of the house shortly appeared, who disclaimed all rela tionship to her, and declared she knew no mote of her than that she was " the strange young Lady" who came to her house with a young Gentleman, a day or two ago, and hired her apartments fora week. Bishop now told Miss Drusilla his business, and she wept for at leak a minute and a-its/J . —but she no longer de nied that she was the identical Drusilla whO ran away from Rioter with IlOratio Reeves; and wiping away her tears, she Puiler handkerchief into her reticule, and declared she was glad rho was caught, and Should be very happy to return to her friends if she was but sure the Lord Chancellor would do nothing to her! Bishop told her he had no doubt she would be very kindly received ; and 'bring her his hand, she tripped lightly to the coach he had in'tralting for her. The luggage was then put into the coach, and it was just about to drive off whenSmither coach drove up, and out jumped Mr. Horatio Reevet—" Oh ! Sir," exclaimed the landlady, who was still 'standing at the door— " Oh! Sir, theyliave taken away the Lady !" " Who has taken her?" dedianded the astonished lover. " Why I have," ;Wiest Bishop, and ordered the coachman to drive oncrack went the whip,and away went the horses— " But Who can pain*Heratio as be stood, • Speechless, and tix'd in all the death of woe." He did net stand sti many seconds, however, but ran after the coach like a greyliound, jumped up behind, and peepitig in at the wiudow'talled mournfully upon Drusilla—" Drusilhony angel, where are you going ?" Ills angel sat snugly in the corner of the carriage and made no reply ; but Bishop, looking out of the op 7 posh. window, said, " Come, come, young chap, don't be rude, or I shall be under the necessity of taking you somewhere--g et down from the Coach in stant l y , or I' ll take you intO'cuitody.' Horatio took the hint, and jumped down ; but, like itrue Knight, he continued to follow, even on foot, panting and puffing, till the coach stopped in Bow-street; and then, his Drusida haVlng been deposited in a place of safety, without seeing him—for he could not, with all his fervour ' keep up with the coach—be attempted altparley with Bishop. But all he could make of it, and, indeed, all he seemed to care about, was his Aare of the luggage Carried oil with the" young Lady. Bishop told him if he 'Would call at the Police Mee, in Bow-street, next morning, he should have what belonged 'to him ; and with this promise he departed, apparently pretty comfortable. Bishop is a shrewd sort of a subject—his main object, no doubt, its letting hint to *all at the office was to give the Chan cery Solicitors an opportunity of serving him with a copy of the injunction; And, if so, he completely, succeeded, for Horatio was punctual in calling for " his share of the luggage." Ile was 'hewn into a private room, where, neither the copy of the in junction nor " his share of the luggage" being ready, he amused himself with a' volume o f " C oke " upon Lytdetoe"—lnstead of pacing the room with " distraction . in aslieet,"• and his arms folded adross his breast to keep his heart dohs. In short, it was very evident that he was still more costresiiiiiii thir lid was at Ws parting on the prec e di ng n i g h t .
