LANCASTER LINT ASSIZES. ASSAULT IN A CHAPEL.—CAUNCE L MONK. Mr. SCARLET, Counsel for the Plaintiff, desceihed the nature of this assault. It was one which was *ggravated, not by the violence with which it was attended, but by the place in which it was commit ted. Many of the trials for assaults, which had oc curred in the course of the Assizes, had originated in pehlie-house quarrels, and, therefore, the Jury had justly marked their reprehension of them, by limiting the damages to the lowest denomination of the cur rent coin. In the present instance, he trusted the Jury, though the personal injury was trifling, would mark their disapprobation of the Defendant's con duct, by giving exemplary damages. The place in which the assault in question occurred, was one sa cred, by its being consecrated to public divine wor ship ; it was a Chapel, called Douglas Chapel, in the township of Pabolt, in the county of Lancaster ; the plaintiff, an inhabitant of the township, had been for upwards of 30 years in the constant habit of at tending Douglas Chapel, and occupying a particular pew; on the Sunday, when the assault in question took place, he had gone there as usual; skortly after the defendant entered the Chapel, and came towards the same pew ; the plaintiff civilly and courteously opened the ddor to admit him, when the defendant insisted on dragging him out, and, in execution of his purpose, violently assailed him, and, in the act of pulling him out of the pew, fractured his shins ; the officiating clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Johnson, was just coming up the aisle, and, of course, he inquired into the caese of the tumult ; upon being informed, he reprimanded the defendant, who not only justified what he had done, but, in the coarsest language, ex pressed his determination to repeat it. The first Witness called gave but an indistinct ac count of the transaction ; and, on his cross-examina tion, he said, the plaintiff had acknowledged to him,' that the action was carried on without his consent. Mr. Johnson, the respectable clergyman of the Chapel, stated, that on the Sunday the assault took place,• he was advancing up the middle aisle, when he observed the congregation all standing up, and soon noticed Mr. Monk in the act of forcing the Plaintiff out of the pew ; he sent for Mr. Monk into the ves try, and represented to him the probable consequences of his violent and illegal conduct; the Defendant re- plied, that he was indemnified by 'Squire Jones, that he would turn the Plaintiff out of the pew on every subsequent Sunday, and kick his b—ks—e. The Witness remonstrated with him, but the Defendant said, that Mr: Jones would keep him harmless. Mr. PARK maintained, • that this was an action as frivolous as any that had been tried. He pronounced a just panegyric upon his own tolerant principles in matters of religion, and expressed even his veneration for those who deviated from the faith to which he was attached, but, in the present case, he considered that the Minister of Douglas Chapel had not acted as the apostle of peace, but had fomented a dispute, which, without his interference, would never have been brought into Court. The Learned Counsel was, in the course of his address, extremely severe in his remarks upon Dr. Johnson, the preacher at Douglas Chapel. Dr. Johnson interrupted him, and expressed great indignation at the manner in which. the Learned Counsel had observed upon his conduct. He said, that the sacred character he held was not to be trifled LONDON MARKETS. RETURN of WHEAT in Mark-lane, including only from the 16th of April to the 21st of April. Total 53,843 quarters.

F4PTHER PARTICULARS QF JEFFERT. The following is an extract of an affidavit sworn before Joni; CLARKE, Esq. Mayor of Liverpool, by GEORGE HASSILL, mariner, who arrived at Liverpool on the 14th ultimo, in the ship Fame, belonging to the h lase of Neilson and Heathcote, of that town : " The deponent states, that in the month of March, 1809, he left the towns of Marblehead and Beverley, in the States of Mas sachuset, for Batton ; that about two or three days bef'►re depo nent's leaving Beverley, be saw a person of tke name of Jeffery, who, he understood, was by trade a blacksmith, with whom be had some conversation, and who told him, that he (Jeffery) was born in the West of England, and had been put on shore in the island of Sombrero, from an English sloop of war, by eider of the Captain, having been conveyed in the boat by a master's mate and four men ; and that the offence for which he was sent on shore was, for having taken some spruce beer belonging to the Officers--that he remained on the island for three or f Air days, and subsisted by eating crab-fish that happened to be washed on shore, and getting water to drink from the crevices of tke rocks after it had rained": that he bad been taken up from the island by the schooner Betsey, Captain Francis, of Marblehead, on her voyage from Martinique to Marblehead. That at the time Jef fery came to Marblehead in the said schooner Betsey, he worked with a butcher there, and afterwards left Marblehead for Borer ley, a distance of about six miles, and where deponent saw him last in the month of March, 1809, working with a blacksmi h, and from whom, as deponent understood, he received wages at the rate of 18 dollars per month. And this deponent further saith, that the said Jeffery was well known in the neighbourhood of Marblehead and Beverley, previous to deponent's leaving, and was generally called by the name of -the " Governor of Som brero," it being io notoriously known there that he had been put on shore by the order of an English sloop of war; that Jeffery appeared to deponent to be about 22 or 23 years of age, and about five feet foar or five inches in height, with a lig h t complexion, and rather slender made." The prisoners of war at the depot at Portsmouth amount to about 12,000. Portchester Castle is fit ting up to receive between 6 and 7000 ; and Forten Prison holds about three thousand. The prison ships in that harbour, which at present contain those which are to be removed to Portchester, will be paid off. It will prove necessary to keep four or five ships in com mission, to hold those which the above prisons will not, and for the immediate reception of others who maY become captives. We are sincerely glad to hear, that, considering their number, there are but very few sick amongst them. A servant of Mrs. Guest, in Red Lion -street, Cler kenwell, having, some time since, accidentally swal lowed a needle, was, a few days ago, seized with ex cruciating pain in the small of her back ; and, on a neighbouring Doctor being sent for, and examining her, he discovered the point of the needle making its way through the skin. He immediately extracted it, and she is now recovering. One day last week, at Spalding, during the funeral procession of a poor mani_a cow, which had been over-driven, attacked the bearers, goring one of them severely, and tearing the cloaths of some others, compelled them to drop the corpse and fly for shelter.
