Ay came on at the Court-house in this city .of Thomas Morgan, late of the parish of St. charged with killing in a duel John M , Dou- Attorney-at-law, in June last, by giving wound in the hip, of which he languished some lied. It appeared in evidence that the de had been applied to to execute some deeds, in prisoner was to be a party, and that during .tion respecting the business, the deceased expresSions respecting the prisoner's cha- Itich were deemed to exceed his professional is client, and cast by them a severe stigm a iutation. In consequence of this a represen made to the prisoner of the circumstance, to demand an explanation, and wished an which was refused by the deceased, and a was the consequence. The parties met on June, when the deceased was wounded at fire, and languished until the 29th, when he behalf of the prisoner it appeared, from the . _ WEST-INDIES. of the wound being inflicted, he exptessed greatest regret, and that his solicitude was ex urgent for the situation of the deceased ; so that he went to see him, waited on his me- attendant to inquire his &tiger, and seemed to severely that he had been so unfortunate as to him. The prisoner's character was also repre , an honourable light. The Chief Justice cited the law on homicide, reca ' the evidence, and stated to the Jury, that, malice or predisposition to commit murder sheWn against the prisonur, he conceived he to be found guilty of that crime, but of ighter. The Jury retired for a short time, and irned with a verdict of—Not Guilty. /.—Robert Baynes, Samuel Finer, Daniel Benjamin Davies, Elbery King, and Ro- Stevenson, American subjects, who were em ' under General Miranda, in his attempt to re- South America, have been liberated, and the San Joseph, which has arrived from Car- SEPTEMBER 8. attempt has been made to set fire to this . few mintues before ten o'clock on Tuesday Corporal Silolts, of the City Guard, in going • discovered the premises of Monsieur Bat corner of Harbour and W7st-streets, where an extensive resail liquor store, to be on fire I he immediately gave the alarm, and water being for hand it was very soon extinguished.

The prisoner in his defence said, he had bought the things in question three months ago of a travelling Jew, and had had them in his possession ever since. Hi was remanded for another examination. There were two other miscreants charged with si milar offences ; but the above investigations extended to such a late hour, that the Court adjourned the sen tences, and further proceedings, till Tuesday, the 13th of November. WORM P-STREET.--Yesterday, G. E'Verten, I S years of age, in the employ of Mr. Ruffey, of Bishopsgate street, as a laMplighter, and G. Spicer, jun. of Tur ville-street, Bethnal-green, were fully committed, charged by Mr. R. the former with having stolen a quantity of lamps, burners, &c. his property ; and the latter with having received the same, knowing them to be stolen. • MARIMOROMIE-STIIEET.—An important ease be tween the farmers of.toll•gates and the public, Was in vestigated at this office a few days since, and was yesterday resumed. Mr. Coulson, one of the farmers of the gates, was defendant; he was charged with having detained a horse and cart laden with grating for a manufactory, which was afterwards to be applied to the repair of the roads, under the Commissioners of the Roads.-- In conseqntnce of a refusal to pay toll, the prose cutor summoned the defendant, after paying the charge, for taking that which was not due to him.-- Yesterday Mr. Coulson appeared to the summons, and the•. !agistrates convicted him in the fine and costs. The case is, however, to be heard at the Ses sions upon appeal. GUlLDHALL.—Yesterdaz John Chroely was charged by Mr. Eames, of the Angel-Inn, on suspicion of be ing the person who committed the robbery at that inn on Thursday last. The prisciner, it appeared, had gone to the stable-yard of the Belle Salvage Inn,iLud g ate-hill, on Sunday night, and there tolda number of circumstances relative to the robbery, and to the discoveryof the persons who had perpetrated it, in sinuating that Mr. Eames, the master of the Angel- Inn, was himself implicated. The prisoner had been employed about the Angel-Inn yard for ten or twelve days previous to the robbery; he bad till then been extremely poor, in want even of a shilling, but on Sa turday he had been seen with Bank notes in his pos session, and on Sunday, at the Belle Sauvage, he pro duced a silver watch. These circumstances,. joined to this additional one, that every thing he had told at the Belle Sauvage relative to the ctiscovery of the rob bit., at Stoney Stratford, was a fabrication, induced Mr. Eames now to charge the prisoner as being him self the robber, &charge which.he felt himself the More warranted in making, the prisoner having been busied about the yard on the morning the robbery was disco vered an earlier hoar than there was any occasion for his services. The circumstances of the robbery being already under investigation- at Bow-street, the prisoner was - ordered to be carried thither. QUEEN-SQUARE.-A case of considerable interest has within these few days been brought under the cognizance of the Magistrates at this office :—A French emigrant, of the name of Pierre Henry Cheir tand, was lately taken ill at his lodgings in Somers- Town, and soon_ afterwards died. Onthemorning after his decease Mrs. Percy, his executrix, on looking over his papers, was greatly surprised at not finding the property described in his will. She immediately ap ' plied to Lavender and Bly, officers at the above of fice, who commenced a search, in the course of which strong suspicion fell on a Frenchman of the name of Fitzjames, and his wife. The officers procured a search-warrant, and proceeded to the residence of Fitzjames, where they, in drawer, found a purse containing 25 guineas, and one Spanish doubloon, which purse Mrs. Percy recollected that she had seen in the possession. of Monsieur Cheirtand a few Trio. merits before his decease. The officers also found out as old French woman, who, during the illness of .the' deceased, had attended hint as a nurse, and whom Fitzjames and his wife had endeavoured to intimidate, to prevent her givi.ig her testimony. her evidence, however, the whole of the transaction relative to the robbery was discovered, but sh: was not able to give any account of what had b3come of the property. The officers afterwards found nearly the whole of tfle money buried in a field behind the workhouse, at St. ncras. Fitzjames and his wife were yesterday fully committed to Newgate for trial. . • :,• •• aim "~ intRN of WHEAT Ws Ma;kstane, including otov Iran 136.000RISIbertsi tbe likk of October Total ti, •4d : .

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday the Sessions commenced at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before W. MAINWARING, Esq. and a Bench of Magistrates, when . — Johnßrown, Charles Stodart, Christopher Burnt, and Samuel Slader, were indicted for an assault upon a person named Smith, at the Nelson's Head public house, Somers' Town. It appeared from the evidence that the defendants are persons in the employ of the East-India .Com pany ; and on the day on which the assault took place, they, and others of their fellow-workmen, had dined together at the Nelson's Head. Towards even ing the prosecutor went to the house, and it appear ed, insisted on going into the room where the defen dants and their friends were, when a dispute arose between them, and the assault complained of was committed. A surgeon proved that the prosecutor was confined with the bruises he received for near a fortnight, dur ing which time he attended him. The Jury found the defendants guilty, and the Court sentenced them to pay a fine of se4 each. George Powell was put to the Isar, charged with a misdemeanour, in attempting to commit a detestable crime, in a field at the top of Gower -street, Fitzroy square. It will be recollected that the prisoner was tried at the last Old Bailey sessions for a capital of. fence and acquitted, but detained to answer the charge of a misdemeanour. Ihe only evidence in support of the charge was that of a man named Mason, who stated, that he had discovered the pris•iner, in the place mentioned in the indictment, in a very disgusting and improper situa tion. Two other witnesses were named on the back of the bill, but neither of them were called ; the evi dence of Mason, therefore, pod by itself, unsupported by any other. To rebut this evidence Mr. GURNEY, Mr. Counsel for, the prisoner, called Mr. Adolphus, Const, and Mr. Arabin • the first and second of whom had been Counsel on behalf of and against Mason in au action in which he was plaintiff, for the recovery of a debt ; the cause was ultimately referred to Mr. Arabin, as arbitrator; and these Gentlemen stated, that in the course of that cause the conduct of Mason was such, that they felt bound to state that they could not now his testimony. Mr. Tomkins, the artist, with whom the prisoner served his time, and several other persons of respecta bility, gave him an excellent character. Upon this evidence the Jury, without hesitation, acquitted the prisoner. .ASSAULTING A G. M. Blucihart and S. Jaa.ren were indicted for assaulting a press-gang, and rescuing a man whom they had taken. From the evidence it appeared, that on the 14th of September Lieutenant Donnadieu being on shore in the impress service, and passing by-the house of the defendant Bluckbart (the Queen', Head, Gravel lane) in the evening, his ears were saluted by the welcome sound of a pipe and tabor, and discovered that the guests within were tripping it away , f on the light fantastic toe :" thinking it probable that some 1 persons of the, description of those whom he was seeking might be found there, he ordered a Mitiship man and two of the gang to enter the house and re connoitre. This was accordingly done, and to the question of the Officer as to who and what the were, the dancers answered they were men of war' s men, absent on leave; the reply to which was, that they were such as were wanted, and that those who could not produce their certificates of leave, he should beg leaveto tonduceon boaid the tender. To this unwel come answer, those who lad not the highly c necessary document to produce (two in number) demurred, and the argumeispuu Lemodiauas succeeded. The Midship man and his assistants, however, prevailed, and se cured the two men, and were conveying them nut of -the house, vihen the defendant, Bluckhart, followed them to the door, and. giving the signal to the mob collected there, eselattned,=“ Go it, boys ;" upon this encouraging cheer-up being given, the battle was 'again renewed, and, in the scutfie., one of the men escaped. The Jury acquitted Jansen, but found Blnckhart, the landlord of the house, Guilty ; and the Count sentenced him to be imprisoned six months. Saturday se'nnight, at Fareham, the ease besween l Mr. Charles Stares and the. Trustees of the 'ritchfield I 'Turnpike-road, was decided by a Jury. Mr. Stares claimed a compensation for the injury done to his estate by this road, which passes through the centre of it, destroying several acres of land. Mr. Sc-arlett, was Counsel for Mr. Stares ; and Mr. Missing, fur the Trustees. After a hearing of 14 hours, the Jury gave a verdiCt of N9OO, being £4OO more than had been tendered. Stephen Gazelee, Esq. sat as As. succor upon the occasion, and decided in favour of the individual, upon the question of the right. On Monday se'nnight, three French prisoners ef fected their escape from th e S a n Yskiro prison ship; at Plymouth. One of them, after swimming to the shore, give himself up to a fariner ; the other tab have not been mak -a. An attempt was likewise . made by the prisoners on board the'El Firme, but it-was discovered in time to be presented; and on the even ing of Friday- se'nnight those confined in Mill Prison likewise endeavoured to • eak out, but were prevent ed by the vigilance of thu military on duty. ~./
