On Wednesday seventeen Midshipmen passed exa mination at the Royal N.val College, Portsmouth, as candidates for the rook of Lieutenant. Three were turned back for six months for copying from each other's papers. We lament to state that a vessel bound from Liver pool, to Norfolk in America, was lost off the latter coast, and it is reported that all on board perished. Early on Tuesday morning, a well-looking young woman was found dead on the stone steps of a house in Townsend street, Dublin. She held fast in her arms, a laving child, four or five months old. Cold ar.4 want must have caused the death of this poor suf fering fellow-creature. Monday se'nnight, about nine at night, as Lieute nant BARON, R. N. was returning bonus from Ports mouth, along the Spur Bridge, to his residence in Ma rine View, Southsea Common, he was accosted, when just about the first bridge, by a woman, and knocked down by a man, in company with two others. While down they rifled his pockets of a gold watch, chairs, sod seals, and a purse containing /9 in notes, 17.. in river, together with some keys, and other trifling ar titles. Frosts the severe blows, and the darkness of the night, Lieutenant 13. was unable to pursue or teace the robbers. On the folhsoing morning he ap plied to Cole, a constable, who, on the same days succeeded in appreliendin l s a woman of bad charac ter, on whom was found several of the articles proved to belong to Lieutenant 13.

The Depot of the 48th Regiment is removed from Chichebrer to Sheerness. The detachment of the 14th Light Dragodns, here tofore stationed at Cokraine, has received a route to Londonderry. The detachment belonging to the 20th Regiment of Foot, stationed at Ballaghadereen, have received orders on the arrival of a similar detachment of the 84th Regiment on march for the purpose of relieving them, to proceed to their regimental headinarters at Boyle. A company of the 41st Regiment of Foot has been ordered to proceed from the head-quarters of the re-1 giment at Naas to &skittles*.

The detachment of the 84th Regiment of Foot, (2d battalion) .t present stationed at Castierra and /diltown, have received orders to be in readiness to repair to headquarters at Athlone, on the arrival of the several parties which have been ordered to re place them. It is conjectured that the calling in of the detached parties of this battalion is preparatory to its being disbanded, which will take place on the arrival ut the Ist battalion in England, at present on its rt. turn from the East Indies. Orders have been received at the head-quarters of the 96th Regiment of Foot, stationed at Castlebar to send from thence a party to Ballagnadereen, where they are to relieve a detachment of the 110th Regi ment, at present stationed there. Similar orders have also been received, directing the march of a company (complete) of this regiment from Castlebar to Fox. lord, and a further detachment under the comment, of a Subaltern to Castlerea, in order to their relieving a like detachment belonging to the 24 battalion of the 84th Regiment, which is under orders to join the head.quarters of that regiment at Athlone.

BRI'T'ISH OFFICERS AND SPANISH PA I RIOTS. PROH A PHILADELPHIA PAPER. We have taken some pains to ascertain the precise state of the cif. cumstAnces in the case of the let, &Huth Officers on Friday committed for trial, by the Judges ot Circuit Court now in Session ; and offer the following outline as one which we believe may be relied co,, a, tar as it goes—Colonel NUOHAM, Cdpi4llt J.

WE>iarsa, SUEXEOII &AKRE 1' ay, Savant Major BENJAMIN PLUMS:IL and FRIDIIIICIL BRIX, said to be a Cossaquc Nobleman, are the lit rsons implicated in the alledged inisdenit tutors. The substance of the charge was that they made arrangements last sum mer in Brussels to combine and create a Regiment ot Cavalry, with which to join the Patriots in South America. With this design they embarked at Ant werp on board the American ship PIIII4IS • and ar rived at New Lund , in 4 few weeks Aga. From there they came to Pniiadelphia, and took their passages on board the brig Ellen, of this port, whica vessel cleared oot last week lOr Surinam. Tney were cc conydnieJ by JOHN WILLIAMS and _Pam& HOGAN, Ab u were to have served sit stie capacity ur Seijefaii s, or Commissaries, and by whose itilariumuon to tha Spanish Consul, the intended expedition was 4.1bC0• vered and interrupted. It appeared that each man was fully provided with Cavalry equipments, and no doubt their intention was to take part with the rApiots in carrying on hoodlums. Th..y were regularty dr.ited every morning at the Culanel'A quarters in Phtla delphia, until arrested, and most, it not all at tinoin, it was understood had been in the British set vice.— One.of them wore the Waterloo badge, in his button hole. Atter a very full examination of many an• news on both sides, the Covet remanded them all to prison, where they are to remain till April (the• time of their trial) unless they give bail, each one in the sum of three thousand drinars. Adverting to the ostensiote mate of things in Eu ripe. it is remarkable that British officers should have been associated in the capital of the Netherlands tog waging war against Spain. Either the authority ut the disposition of the English and the Dutch govern ments, for repressing hostilities against that of Spain, would seem to be somewhat questionable. Since the above has been printed we learn that a special Court will be held in December, for the trial of the above named gentlerneu. The Dinner about to be' given by the Gentleuten of Dublin to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is to be very splendid. Above three hundred tickets us already issued, at two guineas each.

The jewel alluded to is his honour, but the squire gives his consent to the match under ..n idea that it is a jewel of a very dif ferent kind. The story, it is obvious, is very trifling.

COURT Or COMMON PLEAS, DEC. S. HILL v. FoNEVA.N AND THOStsON • This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendants for an info notente it of a patent ob. tamed by him in 1814, tor improvements in the smel. tine and making of iron trout cinders of iron. This pleadings and cilderic • •iccupied the wooly of yester day, Nod this day till seve , i o'clock in the evening. Serjeant Bear opened the case for the plaintiff, and called several witnesses in support of his case. In the process of iron making,'the blast furnace, the re• fining furnace, the puddling turnace, the reheating furnace and the process of rolling. are the several stages. During these operations a considerable quan tity lit cinder or refuse arises, which caution a much larger proportion of iron than the corn:non at , in store. thihoretuse is known by the term slags. Sags used to be piled up. o a r thrown into holes as mere rubbish. Iron could not be usefully extracted from it for two reasons,; the operation injured the furnace, and the result was too brittle, which is termed ci.l.lshorr.-. l'he plaintiff, by the mixture of a certain provrtiort of mine rubbish with slugs, rendered it fit for the se veral_processes of itonmaking, And the vplic4l:otl of lime, is the refining and puddling tuinaces, cured the disease of coidsiton, that is, produced good tough bar iron. By.t..us great improvement a seeing oh nearly 4.) per cent. is effected upon the whole quantity of iron made. Fir this he ohtained a patent in 1814, an I for the infringement of it he now sought redresi. S rjoint LENS ie., the defence, and called a number of witnesses to prove that slags had more than 8U years ago been made into iron, and that the use of lion to prevent c lishorthad helm known long beOre 1814. Dr. Alicia s Dictionary, publish ei ill ISO 7, was cited to shew that it e improvement pee• tetidtd io have bre!, di c •veresi in 1811 had been know!' at lest seven y ars beoire. The withcsei produe:ed several specimens of materials, a 'nesting lark said to h ye bee made of iron extracted irons igs, puck, clunch, and poi Robin, which ff.'rded much matter of d scuoiou y as cited that mkt rubbish had always been used in making iron, to P. ix it or make it /tent. cy alai' stated that I.me had always been applied in cute coldshort. Serjeant Bits? replied—tie contended that the evi. deuce of Mr. Foreman, son of one of the defendants, sully establislied the fact of infringement. The wit ness had, indeed, confounded him at Bost, by stating the proportion of lime made use of w AP about a one hun.:redth and twentieth part. while in the speciSco. non of the patent it was only one 60th part ; but this turned out to be really the same, ftri he had spoken of the proportion of 7-Elths of moat stone and 1 Bth of slog, while the patent to k 3 4- its of iron stone and 1-Ith rf slag. This they would find to be exactly the so was 190 to IA i s i ty h m e e proportion, knew a o yth f i n o a o s f S C o w c a k s e r t at 4 , so the evidence of Mr. Muschett, a man of scie.ice and of practical skill, he appealed confidently to prove both the nuve,ty and the utility of the improvement. H e was ii i h n tthelle hands of a jury who -ct, and most happy n tr a e l: e p yw ell a ti c n ci d o t ; l i l io is te c d as w e 01.0 any errors he might have committed would be rem reeled by a Judge eminently skilled in this subjeer. Mr. Justice Dooloss summed up with great clear. ncts and eloquence. He disclaimed the complim-nt cr:ii, brother Best. Of chemistry he was quite igno rant ; and it he di,! amuse himself with such inquiristo he should deprecate any reliance on a superficial ac quaino:nce.with a science. when a question of grave impertary-e to society and individuals was to be d.. coded. He would never be led by ignorance to trsool on unknown gown] ; bite the Jury understood the subject, and the) wo u ld decide impartially. The plaintiff made :oat o clear, consistent, and a powerful Cate. It Was fur tt•A. , logy to say whether this case was weakened or destroyed by the witnesses for the detvnlEnt. _ The Jury retired for a quarter of an hoer. The Judge had left the Court before they returned. Vet diet for the plaintiff. It is said the present VICE CUANCTILOR 'NM be t h e new blAsmit of the ROLLS, and that Mr. LEActi W4ll succeed Sit T.
