We understand that the fAtuily or Mr. BATHURST . save ascertained that he was murdered, not from any political motive, but by brigands, who happened to he present at an inn, when he drew out hts watch, which was a very valuable one. They way-laid and murdered him, and two persons have been appre ilended upon suspicion, who have confessed that they )(Low the tnurderers, but deny that they bad any :-,han: in the crime. A singular report was in circulation yesterday, fc..indeci on recent letters from Holland. It Was stated that, should the present King ca►ry his formal intimation into execution, and vacate the Throne, the Duke of OLDENBURG/I, would be named as his suc cessor. T:ie theatrical disturbance still continues at Liver pcol, but it is rather dying away. A compromise is talked of, but the parties engaged in the negociatien cannot agree upon. terms. A man of gentleinanly appearance, but of short stature and initnuating titidreas, has committed seve ral frauds in London, since about the 20th May, and particularly on silversmiths. He has passed himself under different respectable names. He had apartments t an hotel in Jermyn-street, and contrived to insinuate Simself into the company of some very respectable families, which enabled him to pursue his career without suspicion, until Saturday, when, in conse-1 quence of a ruik interruption in the street, by a fur nisher of apparel, he absconded. He was traced to Ifackney on Sunday, where he had been in contract for a house, and was taken into euitody. He tvas yesterday sent to Yorkshire, to answer chargei, of passing forged bills.

No. 86 Reck') g the Mill WAris.. This is an agi.eeatily painted little pi c t ure , so m e thi n g' in the stile of the late Mr. Wheatley. It is not la, boured up in the manner in which it his been thkt ambition of some artists of Modem growth to do these things, but the drawing is correct, the effect natural, and the colouring chaste. 397. The Environs of an ancient P. CLINDi. —This is the design of a fanciful Ar'cUitect, who ha s crowded together a vast assemblage of massy build ings, and which he no d ou b t cons id ers at models of classical taste, but which appear to us-to rank with Solomon's Temple, the Tower of Babel, and 'the Pyramids of Egypt, as accurately delineated hi some of our oldest Story -books extant. It is evid&nt; how ever, that the Artist knows how to draw, understands the laws of perspective, and manifests an enthusiastic attachment to works of antiquity. 436. A Girl with an Ague.—J. DOWNNIAN t A.— Mr. Downman has a very pretty manrer of rubbing in chalk portraits, but when he attempts any thing which may be called a subject, it generally is such as will serve for more than one. We have here the proile of a young lady sitting by the fire ; that she has a fit of the ague, we however learn from the fol lowing very elegant lines in the catalogue ! if you want a thing to plague you, You had better have the ague. There is nothing in the execution of this drawing that deserves any notice distinct from that which we usually bestow on this Gentleman's productions; it has a pleasing parlour effect, but that of Nature he never studies. 452. Cupid's Venture on the Illave.SAME ARTIST. —This is a bolder venture than the preceding, but with little bettersuccess. Cup;Ll is here represented as learning to swim, not with two bladders, but by aid of two Swans. We are, however, told, in some more pretty lines, that the God, finiing himself out of hi: element, soon flew away. We would advise Mr. D. to follow his example, and return to his friends in the parlour, such as we rind in the portraits num bered 446, which a re admirable likenesses, and drawn with delicacy and taste. 29. Southampton : Sea Pvt by Moon-light.—A. PE- TlMR.—This is one of those quiet scenes, in the re presentation of which Mr. P. is peculiarly successful. With the majoi ity of moon-light painters, however, he falls into the error of giving too blue an aspect to his pictures ;in that heb•re us, s-me of the more re mote objects are too distinctly made out, but a sweet sobriety of tints prevails over the whole. • 158. Petworth, the seat of the Earl of Aversion, — Dewy Morning. -J. M. W. TURN ER, R. A.—The chief excellence in this picture is the execution of the water, and the dew) vapour that floats through the vallies ; the Litter effect is most happily expressed ;* and, apparently, by a very simple process, that of a kind of light scumsling and glazing ; but we think some of the more prominent objects in the foreground want force, and a richer variety of tint. 163.. Portrait of Cedi Alli.—H. HOWARD, R. A. —This we resume is a good likeness of a native Prince of Hindustan, who visited England about five years since. It is richly painted in regard to costume, and a dignified figure. 167. Fingal defending Me Princes, Fainasolir.---S. DRUM MOND, A.---Mr. Drummond is shamefully wasting his time, and abusing the talents Nature has given him, in trying experiments in colouring, which will. turn out altogether unprofitable.— He appears stud as fast in his abominable compost of gum elas tic, as a poor deluded fly in a pot of treacle ?—The . use of such materials robs him of all freedom of hand, and contaminates all purity of tint. 168. Pandora reeeiting the Gift: of the Gods and God deJses.—J. F. RIGAUD, R. A.—lt is difficult, looking at the admirable picture which is now seen to advan tage, in the Council Chamber of the Academy, of " Sampson bursting his Bonds," to believe, that the artist who painted it was also the doer of this weak composition. Not only the grouping, but the drawing, of these Celestials is bad ; however, as the picture, to which we have referred the spectator, is chiefly to be admired for its colouring,• we were par- ticularly led to expect something of the kind to set off the defects of the subject before us—but, alas, we were altogether disappointed even here: there is little taste displayed in the distribution of the diffe fent tints, and no brilliancy preserved iu the execu tion ; we are, however, willing to admit, there is some display of character in the taces of the different figures. 171. Portrait of Lord riecount LAW REXCE, R. A.—This is one of the most correct like nesses alid chastely painted portraits in the exhibition. There is a tine even tone of colour diffused over the ‘Thich shames the glare and glitter of many of the surrounding subjects of a similar description. 27- A Flew of China, Es'c.—W. DANIEL, A.—This is a very laborious work, exhibiting in one view the whole process of cultivating the tea-plant, and pre paring the leaves for exportation, through ten stages of operation, the whole of which being performed at nearly the same time of the year, admits of its being thus brought into one picture. There is much beauty in the landscape, though the artist is considerably restrained by the nature of his subject—the dif ferent groupes of figures are admirably disposed and contrasted, and the colouring (in the peculiar style of the painter) is rich and glaring. 95. A high finished Landscape.—P. REINAGLE, A. ---/s•luch as we admire the chaste productions of this Artist in general, and in this particular picture, there is a great deal to commend ; yet we really should not, but for the imperious language of the Catalogue, have pronounced it a highiniehed Landecate ; it may have cost Mr. Reinagle some laborious hours, but we fear he has worked away the effect which he originally intended to produce ; that which remains is cold. 263. Portrait of a 1 ady.—A. W. Devis.—The portraits by Mr. Devis have long been distinguished for firmness of touch and characteristic accuracy of likeness, but his colouring has hetetofore been rather of a 'sombre hue, ill suited to the delicacy of the fe male complexion ; the picture before us, however, is not surpassed, perhaps not equalled, by any one in the Academy; for airiness of design, happy distribu tion of light arid shade, and brilliancy of tint. The drapery is particularly flowing and elegant, and the background has a pleasingly corresponding lightness. We feel pleasure In congratulating M r . D. on this Change of style. LAW INTR.LIGENO COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, NNE 7. • • MARSH V. THORPE. Mr. Serjeant BEST stated this to be an action for an assault, tinder . the following circumstances, The plaintiff is a green-grocey in Fleet-market, and the defendant 4 farmer, at EalingCorner, near Hounslow. In April last the plaintiff went down, to that part of the country, where the defendant resides and they went together to the Coach and Horses public-house, where they.drank some wine. After drinking for some time the defendant went. out of the room, and was followed by the plaintiff, who put his hand on his sboulder, and requested him to ,return and pay.his share.of the reckoning. On this the defendant turned round, and with an earthenware quart-pot, which he held in his hand, struck the plaintiff so severely in the face, that the pot was broke, and the cheek of the plaintiff much cut. .W. Holmes, Overseer of the parish, proved, that he was in the Coach and Horses, at Ealing Corner, when the de!.:ndant came out of the parlour into the tap-room, followed by the plaintiff, who asked him to come back and pay his share of the reckoning, and which the other refused, and struck the plaintiff a se vete blow, as before stated, which occasioned a very great effusion of blood. He heard, or observed, no provocation given by the plaintiff to the defendant. Green, a blacksmith, deposed to the same effect. R. Whittins,. a baker, saw Thorpe come out of the parlour into , the tap-room at the Coach and Horses; Thorpe took up a quart-pot and began to drink, when Marsh desired him to pay his share of the reckoning, which the defendant refused, saying he had taken him from his work to treat him. Marsh then snatched at the pot to take it ftom Thorpe, in doing which the pot was broke, and Thorpe struck Marsh on the face with that part of it which remained in his hand.— Marsh's face was ibuch cut ; and Thorpe's hand re ceived a goodith jab also, from the broken edge of part of the pot. They appeared both to be in liquor. Verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages £5. COCKPIT. Before the Moit Noble and right Hon. the Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,DUIILIN, JUNE 8. LESSEE OF HUSSEY v. LORD SIDNEY GODOLPIIIN OSBORNE. This cause which is an issue out of Chancery, has been on trial here for the last two days, and, it is sup posed, will not be finished before to-morrow night.— fltough only a trial at Niri Fritts, yet, from its im portance (the matter in contest being the whole of the Irish Es::ttes of the late Earl Beaulieu, which at present produce more than 07000 a-year) the Court i is full, and all the Judges preside. These estates are claimed by Mr. Hussey, as heir at-law, and by Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, the third son of the Doke of Leeds, as devisee of Earl Beaulieu, who died in 1802. Earl Beaulieu's family were Catholics. In 1760, the Nobleman whose will is now contested conformed to the established religion. In 1797 he made that will, devising all his estates to Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, subject only to the payment of £6OO yearly to his brother, R. Hussey, for life, and £20,000 to a natural daughter. In 1802 Ihe died, when Richard, his brother, entered into pos. session of his Irish estates ; upon whose death the title of the lessee accrued. The ground on which lEarl Beaulieu's will is disputed is this—that he was l at the time of his death a relapsed Papist, and of course rendered incapable, under an Act of Parlia ment in force in Ireland, of devising his property.— The evidence given in support of this fact is as fol lows : that from 1760, when Earl Beaulieu conform ed, until 1796, he sat in the House ; that from 1796, the poind at which it is supposed he relapsed, until his death, he discontinued doing so, in order to av&d, as it is supposed, taking the Oaths of Supremacy and Abjuration. That about that time be became very intimate with Dr. Hussey, Titular Bishop of NVater ford ; that Dr. Hussey went down to the Earl's country scat, 20 miles from London, where he cele brated mass in an outer room, where there was no other person but himself and his clerk, whilst the Earl was in the inner room, with the door of ctnmii. nication -between both rooms open : that upon another occasion the Earl was seen kneeling, whilst the Doc i for stood over him, with his hands spread upon his head giving him his benediction ; that the Earl's daughter was educated in the Romish Religion, tin der the immediate direction of the Doctor, and that the Earl expressed his warm sense of the liberal edu cation he had bestowed on her ; and, finally, that the Earl had admitted to Hussey that he had been recon ciled to the Catholic Church. Lord S. G. Osborne's case has not yet been gone into, but it is imagined that his Counsel will endea rour to spew that the Earl was insane at the time of • fls making the admission, and doing the several . nets alluded to. 1- Lord 6. G. ottorne, a fine youth of 17, Mr. Hos. Bey, and a great number of witnesses from England, poth male and female, are in Court, which is 6 :eatly crowded. Mr. Hussey, i the.bcir-atfiw il s a very poor .-rin t and was lately a cl e rk in the earth-nipcy ice, at £lOO a-year salary. OLD B4llLir: . - • •. The well known and long celebrated lifatthrei Pori; was yesterday put to the, bar, charged with picking the pocket of. John Oiiver ' Esq. and from th ence taking a silk handkerchief of the value of sip• peared that the Owner being seen in St. JAM'S s creet on the King's Birth day by the Police officers, he was accordingly watched, AO about three o'clo c k was observed to the prosecutor, and was seized in the very act of taking the handkerchief out of his pocket. On sea rc hing him, the officers found a piece of strong iron wire, with a hook at one end, and a sharp headed nail at the Oier ; the use of which is to cut away the putty from the panes of gKss in shop windows, and then to hook out whatever articles may come within reach. He was found guilty, and the Deputy Recorder instantly sentenced him to be trans. ported for life I John lidding was iadicted for hurglariously break ing and entering the dwelling house of Joseph Smith, at Kensington, in the night of the 28th of May. and stealing therein a crpper,pot, a quantity of lead, a tin coffee-pot, and other articles. The prosecutor stated, that' his house was broke open on the night mentioned in the indictment, be tween eleven and twelve o'clock, and on i ising in the morning he discovered the depredations that had t t .km place. `From information he receives], he traced part of his property to the prisoner, who was a vrehended, and from circumstances which turned cut in the course of inquiry, it. was clearly ascertained that he had corn rn'tterl tl.e robbery. The prisoner denied the committal of the offence, and offered to bet a pint he had as good a character as e'er a man in the county. The facts woe, how ever, clearly pmved, and he was conviczeiL flan Smith was convicted of unlawfully uttering a piece of false counterfeit coin, resembling a shilling, to James .leffieys, a shoemaker in the City, on the 30th of May last. It appeared that the prisoner west three different times to the shop of the prosecutor, each time purchasing a pair of shoe-strings, and give ing in payment three shillings, which proved to be base and counterfeit. J. Dalton, alias William:, was indicted for uttering a counterfeit 7s. piece to Mary Dennis, ald another to Anne Thompson. Mary Dennis deposed, that on the 4th of February last the prisoner and another man had something to drink at her house, to the value of 2s. in payment of which Dalton tendered a 7s. piece, which she weighed and found to be good. His com panion, however, said, " I will pay for it," and laid down a crown piece ; Dalton, therefore, took back efe 7s. piece ; hut his con spanion again said " I won't pay for it ; pay it yourself, Jack ;" and Dal ton laid down a 7s. piece, which she did not exa mine, but threw in the till, gave him change, and they departed. They had not been gone above a minute or two, when, on looking at the 7s. piece, she found it was bad. Some days after he came again, and had a g 11 of wine, for which le: paid her with a good sixpence, and she told him she had re ceived a bad 75. piece when he was there betore. On which he said, if that was the case, he wr.nid change it, if she would trust him, he not having so much about him. He went away, and she never saw hint after, till before t!.e LoaD MAYon. Anne Thomson deposed, that her mother keeps a pork-shop in the neighboorl!ood of Grub-street ; dna in the evening of the 12th of February the prisoner purchased a German sausage, which carne to 17d. for which he tendered ag' ucl 7s. piece. Ile then said, he believed he could pay for it without change, and produced 15d.—but, as that was not sufficient, he tendered her a 7s. piece, which she found to be light, and handed to her mother, who took it into the kitchen, to examine. From the kitchen witness's mother exclaimed, that the piece was bad ; on which he ran in, and attempted to force it out of her hand, but did not succeed, and made his escape. Both piece's were sworn, by the Assistant Solicitor of the Mint, to be counterfeit, and done with the same die. Verdict—G uilty. He was again indicted with H. William:, for a si milar crime, in the shop of Mary Bennett, a chand. ler, in East Smithfield ; and in that of Louisa Taberer, a confectioner, in Foie-sue:et, and found Guilty on both charges. Fourteen were convicted of felony, viz. G. Wright, for stealing three raw•. Esther Silver, for stealing a s! awl. W. I-Ltrrick and W. Seaton, for stealing two mould frames.
