Lieutenant J. G. Nops, to the Signal Station on Kingston-hill. 'Mr. James Franklyn, to be Master of the William and Miry, yacht. The following statement, transmitted to us by a fieu d of Lord By ao N, may be reliel upon as authentic: " the 24 hof Wards last, as Lord Byron, with four other Inglish Geniis-gm, followed by a servant, were returning on L.,richack to Pisa, and were within a quarter of a mile of Porta Piqgie, they were overtaken by a man on horseback, in the cress jl a dragoon, riding .t full gallop, who rushed through the ty az speed, to as to endanger their safety. One of the Gentle :tsar horse: was so eaci:ed, that be with difficulty could restrain lost Lis hat. Lord Byres (followed 'y the rest of the the servant) conceiving thi person to have been a Cons eifierr ',he proved to be only a Serjeant-major) pursued ::at at speed, and overtook Lim just at the Porta la Plaggie, svLaie there is a guard. They rode up to the dragoon and asked ;is name and address, Lord Byron at the liaise time offaring to . Lis c:_rd. The reply consisted of the not groat abuse, and tarsus of ?trauma violence accompanied with the act of laying h:i har.. on his sword, as if to *arty his threats into execution.- 1 .s took place in the presence of some of the guard; one of wl; .rn called out to the dragoon to give them in charge to the gun ;on which he Immediately called out to the guard to ar rest the whole party. Lord Byron, en this, put spurs to his horse, and was followed by one of his companions. flit Lord ship rt:ee directly to his house, and sent his Secretary to the Po ' Ice, to itquaint them with :he outrage, and, without dismount ing, returned towards the guard. ()n his way he met thi: dh socr:, who rode up to his Lordship, and asked him, in an in salting manner, it he was nailed? Lord Byron replied be 'ins cot satisfied, end de:cited to know his name. The other stared it to be Serjeant-Majur "AlasL At this moment, a ser lt !u•louging to Lord Byron came up to the dragoon, and La hold of the bridle of his horse, which Lord Byron desired Lim instantly to release. The dragoon put spurs to his horse avid proceeded along the street by the Auno, through a large Lumber of people who were collected near the Casa Lan in.nehl. There, it appears, the dragoon received a wound; hem whom is uncertain. Several have been arrested on suTicion, amongst the rest, one of Lord Byron's servants. — The story of Lord Byron being arrested is not only a pure inven tkn, but it has never been pretended that his Lordship was either present at, or had in any way instigated or countenanced any attack on the dragoon, who is, however, beyond all danger. After his Lordship quitted the gate, it appears that a most brutal attack was made by the dragoons and soldiers, armed with swords, on the persons of the three unarmed English Gentlemen. One was knocked of his horse, another was wounded in the face, and the servant was severely ilt.used. The conduct of the soldiers is at j rest nt referred to the civil tribunals. Lord Byron and the .E:.glish Gentlemen made immediately a report and deposition to Governor of Pisa, and through the medium of Nlr. Dawkins, the English Charge d'Affaires at Florence, have demanded satis faction for the injuries they have received. The Tuscan Govern ment have in the readiest manner intimated, through Mr. Daw kins, that they do not entertain the remotest suspicion that Lord Byron was in any manner cognizant of the attack on the dragoon, although his Lordship is necessarily detained Instil the affair is fully investigated and judgment given."—Obsen cr.

Immediately afterwards, they were seen, at the surface of the water, making xllliossihle exer tions to regain land, but all was ineffectual i they clung to each other: their shrieks were heard by two or three persons, but th e y w e r e h ear d i n vaint At last, exhausted by exertion, in striving to overcome the force of the current (there being what is termed a fresh, the water running very high), they sunk to rise no more. As soon as the melanchOly event was known in the town, it excited the greatest sensation through all classes of society. Boats were soon filled with men, endeavouring, by every possible means, to find the lifeless bodies, three of which were disco• Tered during the course of the afternoon. The other was found on Thursday morning.—ln addition to the above, we copy the following particulars from the Preston Chronicle: Tuesday, on which day his Majesty's birth-day was kept, several of our young townsmen resolved to celebrate the occasion by a water party on the Ribble. A band of music was procured, and though the weather was not favourable, a numerous assem blage of spectators was collected, little anticipating the disastrous event which, on the succeeding day,was to change the harp into mourning, and the music into the voice of them that weep !'— On Wednesday morning, the improved state of the weather in duced a few of the party to renew their amusement. The three first named young Gentlemen, above-mentioned, with Mr. Con nel, articled clerk with J. Bushell, Esq. solicitor, went on board a sail-boat, and proceeded down the river as far as the Custom- House. They returned with the tide to the quay, at the bottom of Fishergate, where Mr. Kay was waiting to join the party.—a The boat being calculated for only four persons, Mr. George Grimshaw was requested to leave, but, after some persuasion, Mr. Connel was at length prevailed upon to give up his place to the new corner, and the party again set sail up the river.-- At this time, Mr. Thomas Troughton, son of Mr. Alderman Troughtcm, was preparing another boat, and Mr. Connel went to join him. When the first boat had arrived about half way between the Great Holm and Penwortham-bridge, a sudden gust overset it. The cries of the young men thus - precipitated into the water, and the shrieks of some young Ladies who were walking by the river side, and who were spectators of the dis tressing sight, gave an immediate alarm. Mr. Cannel and Mr. Troughtnn instantly put off to render assistance, but before they came near the place, three of the party had sunk. One of them, supposed to be Mr. George Grinuhaw, was still struggling in the water, apparently making towards the river side. Mr. Troughton called out to him to return towards the wrecked boat, which he accordingly did, and in all probability his life would have been preserved, but just as be reached the baat, the mast snuck him on the forehead, which, in Ms exhausted state, overpowered him, and he sunk to rise no more ! Mr. Cannel and Mr. Troughton followed the wreck as quickly as their single oar would allow them, in the hope that sonic of their associates might still 1w clinging to it, but on turning the boat up, they had the grief to had this last hope end in disappointment-- I This deplorable calemity hippened about one o'clock, when the spring-tide was nearly at ha height, and the river considerably swollen by an accumulation of fresh water. Drags and nets were brought into use as soon as they could be procured, but it was past four before the body of Mr. Charles Grimshaw was drawn from its watery bed. The cold remains of Mr. Kay and Mr. Hutton were successively found soon after ; but the corpse of Mr. George Grimshaw was not met with until five o'clock the next morning. Mr. H. W. Holton was the oldest of the party, being in his lid year. Mr. Kay and Mr. Charles Grimshaw were nearly of the same age, being each about 20. Mr. George Grfinshaw was in his 11th year. They were all young men of considerable energy of character, and their un timely fate has cast a gloom upon the inhabitants of this place, which it will take come time to dispel. The immediate relatives of the deceaseel young men will naturally feel the bereavement in the most acute manner; but they may derive some consola tion from reflecting, that the sympathy of every sensitive mind in the town and neighbourhood is called forth on their behalf." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 21. TRUMAN AND OTHERS E. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. This was an action of trover, for the recovery of certain chests of Indigo, the property of the plaintiffs, alleged to have beea converted by the defendants to their own use. At the trial, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, at the last Guildhall Sittings, the Jury found for the defendants. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved for a new trial. The case was this :—A Company's ship called the Cerberus, had taken in a cargo at Calcutta for Europe, of which the indigo in question formed a part. On her voyage she was completely wrecked, but a great part of the cargo was saved and carried to the Cape of Good Hope, and sold by the Captain by public auction, after having taken a survey and deliberated about what was best to be done. The plaintiffs purchased the indigo, and it was sent home for their account to England, and lodged in the Ea , t India Company's warehouses. The Company refused to deliver, denying the Captain's authority to bind them in the sale in question. It appeared that theie had been a failure of indigo in Calcutta, and the price of the commodity had, in consequence, greatly increased in value in the British market. The plain tiffs had purchased with a knowledge of the failure, upon speculation, conceiving that the indigo would turn out to their advantage. There was, however, no fraud in the transaction, the purchase having been made at the then market price in England. The question was, whether, under the circumstances, the Captain had authority to sell the indigo, so as to bind his principals? The Court were clearly of opinion, that as there was no necessity to justify the sale, the Captain had neither an express nor an implied authority to part with the property to the plaintiffs, who were cogni zant of the circumstances under which the sale took place, and therefore refused to disturb the verdict. APOTHECARIES COMPANY V. ROBY. Mr. Common Serjeant (M r. Datum's) moved for a new trial in this case, w hich was an action against the defendant for penalties for practising as an apo thecary without license, contrary to the 55th Geo. 111 c. 194. A single penalty had been recovered. The Court thought the defendant's liability, under the statute, was a matter of 'considerable doubt, and, therefore, granted a Rule Nisi. hi?

Mr. Cobtautta answered, that he did not, iseCattsd he was not aware that it was in his power to *set with effect; but that he had a statement which, in consequence of what had been said on the other sidd about bail, he thought the prisoner was entitled to have made; Mr. Cockburn then spoke nearly as fol; lows:—.°r My Lords, there is fibthing which the prig toner more earnestly desires, than that his conduct in this affair should be fully and judicially investigated; It is a grievous disappointment indeed; to him, that the trial has not been proceeded with, as he expected; this day. But your Lordships are aware, that there is no way in which an accused person in Scotland can force on his trial, except by availing himself of the provision of a Statute passed in the year 1701: Accordingly, the prisoner being most anxious, since he was accused, that the merits of the accusation should be discussed as soon as possible, adopted thi proper measure the very first moment that he could; for securing to himself the benefit of that Act ) and the days are now running; at the end of which he must. unavoidably get rid of this charge one way or another: If he were to go out upon bail, he would lose the be nefit of that Statute, and, therefore, L have to inti mate, that he does not intend to avail himself of the offer that has now been made, but has made up his mind to remain in jail for t he full period during which the law has made it possible to detain hiin there, rather than deprive himself of the only power Ire possesses of compelling a discussion: And I ant sure that nothing can more strongly evince his anxiety for a trial, than the fact of his remaining in confine;• ment, rather than submit to go out at large, even upon moderate bail, with the charge hanging over bins ; therefore trust, that, far the sake of justice, if not for the sake of the prisoner, the prosecutor will not fail to bring forward the case again as speedily as possible ; and he may depend upon it, that no ob.: stacle will ever be thrown in the way of a axial by the prisoner, whose only object is to be acquitted, if" he is innocent, while it is the duty of the prosecutor to convict him if he is guilty:" Mr. Hors rose, when Lord Mtanowarittk stated; that the explanation which Mr. Cockburn had made was perfectly proper, but that still there was no ques-' • tioh before the Court, and that therefore there was nd ' occasion for any farther discussion. Mr. Hops stated, that it was rather new law, that t 1 the days did not run in favour of a prisoner who was at large upon bail: ' Lord 11BADOWBANR said, that this was a point which had not been decided. Mr. COCK BURN stated, that r.b person was obliged I to find bail, and that though there might be ways rn which the public prosecutor might deprive a prisoner of the benefit of the Act of 1701, certainly he could not do so by exacting bail from him. Mr. Boxthwick was then recommitted under a ne* warrant. PAnts.-6Vesterday bring rather gloomy, much novelty in dress was not displayed.
