The celebrated answer of the Emperor of Austria, to the professors of the Lyceum at Laybach, " Je m'aime prs les unpins," (I do not like the learned) now re-echoed through every part of Europe. Some few persons affected to disbelieve the anecdote, while others could not bring themselves to think that in the beginning of the nineteenth century sentiments so favourable to ignorance could have been uttered by a sovereign at the head of a civilized nation. The Imperial decree, however, by which the Lancaster schools (enseignement mutael) ot Milan have been lately suppressed, and a copy of which has just reached us,remove all doubts respectiog the truth of the r, ported bell mit of the Austrian Emperor.— There were, in Milan, two schools of 500 boys each, established on the principles of Bell and Lan caster, by a number of wealthy and philanthropic individuals, who had obtained the necessary per mission from Government for that purpose. We are assured, that the friends of general education would have been delighted at the progress which the pupils were said Le make under that mode of instruction, and the inhabitants of the capital of Lombardy began to flatter themselves that in a few years more the condition of the lower classes of people, who had hitherto been condemned to the most abject ignorance and superstition, would be gradually improved, to the great benefit of them. selves and.the State. This hope, however, has for the prevent been completely frustrated, by a sweep ing and arbitrary ac. of the Austrian government, dated the 9th February, commanding the immediate close, and total abolition of those schools, with declaration that no app. el or remonstrance will be received from any of the parties interested in the establishments. 'phis net of course was published in the name of his Laperial Majesty. It will snAircely be believed that the only public schools fur the middle and lower rank.; or life now remaining at Milan, are the Scuttle Ouberniali, frequented by about thirty or forty pupils, who are instructed by an Austrin tencaher. Mr. Thomas Flindell, ell't-tr of the {fester/ Lu minary, was, on Monday last, found guilty, at the Exeter A.sizes, of a libel on the queen. The libel is th,; celebrated one which Mr. Wetherell brought under the notice of the !louse of Commons.

G. MILLER, ARIL . . - . This W 33 au indictment against the defendant, for feloniously killing and slaving Mr. Jose •h Hoare, at Chatham, on the 31st of October last. The defendant had never been in custody, but submitted himself volun tarily to take his trial, upon the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Berens stated the case fur the prosecution ; and Mr. Gurney and Mr. Holland conducted the defence. It appealed in evidence, that o.t the day mentioned tot the indictment, the delendant and the deceased, who had neter inet before, had spent the evening with seve ral other per,•onA, at the hotel at Chatham, in the even- Of which, in consequence of solute thrferetice of ()pi lion upon sonic ordinary topics 01 ctinversation, the defendant called the deceased (a man upwards of 70) an old scoundrel. - Upon the 6ui...gsolon of smite of the party the defendant made an apology for this insult, shook hand• with the deceased, and they appeared to be good friends.

He then seized a rumme of brandy and water, which he also threw at him. an I again inisse.d him. He then unfortunately laid hold of a pewter pint ss Melt lie hurled at his head, and the blow took elf..ct upon the left temple of the deceased, and inflicted a sorere wound, which hied profusely.

The only witnesses examined were* Mr. White, who deposed to the Iran:action at the hotel; Mr. Fry. the surgeon, and Dr. Vaughan, the physician. Hotta the latter gentlemen were of opt moll, mat the blow was nit use proximate cause of death. Tile learned Judge put it to the Jury, wit-titer, upon such evidence. they were of opinion tit it the death was occast.uted by the defendant. The Jury inuitediately found the defend .nt not guilty. 'Fite defendant's deportment was most befitting the melancholy occasion, and he appeared deeply affected. both navies were men of property, and MCA in in re spectJble circles.

CIVIL. SIDE. THE MSG P. T. WARNE, ESQ. This was du itsdacta.cuL di,issust the delettilaist fur a nuisance. in obstructing a public foot-path in the parish of St. Lawrence, leading from Ramsgate by the cliffs on the sea shore to Pe_well Rte. AI r. Rolland with whom Was Al r. Chitty) led the case or the prosecution. He stated it to be a case of very considerable importance to the public, and more espe. clans, to the visitors of Ramsgate, as a watering place, %lime pleasure and comfort would be materially cur tailed if the prosecution failed. It also involved a very important cptestion of law, which, if the learned judge now presiding would not take upon himself to decide. might be the subject of mature deliberation in another place. For a period of time beyond the memory of man, there had been a public foot-path leading from Ramsgate to Pcgwell, by the edge of the cliff, which had been mused by the inhabitants of the former place without interruption by the owners of the land over which it went. About 35 years since a gentleman, named Rpose, built a marine villa on the sea shore, and Inclosed a lawn and shrubbery, leaving a space between the outward fence and the sea shore of about 3u yards. That villa was subsequently occupied by Earl Darnley, and afterwards came into the possession of the defendant. During the period above-mentioned, the cliffs had re. peatedly caved in to a very great extent, in consequence of the violence of the sea, and the rain and frost during the winter months. As these inroads were progressively made, the foot-path was destroyed, but the persons who had been in the habit of rising it made a fresh path far. titer in land upon the adjoining soil, and even went O'er crowing corn, in the exercise of the right of footway...— No complaint W 35 ever made by the owners of the sod, in cousequence of this encroachment. It must b e ad mitted. however, that the farmers were in the habit of ploughing the land to the edge of the cliff, or as as near in it as sanely to toe cattle and ploughs would permit.... In progress of time the cliff was washed away to the very edge of the defendant's fence, and in the result there was no around left for the foot-path. The question now in area was, whether the inhabitants and the public had or had not a right to carry the path which they had here. toforeenjoyed through the de:endant's enclosure, which was now impracticable by means of the fence. which he had ever since continued from the time he came into possession, and which was the gist of the present in dictment. No less than ten very old men proved that the path had existed in the manner above mentioned fur upwards of sixty years The Lord Chief Baron, in his charge to the jury, left to them the question of fact, whether the allegation in the indictment that this was a public foot way had been wide out. As to the question of law, that would de. pend upon their verdict as to the question of fact. The Jury deliberated a few minutes, and found a verdict of Not Guilty, thereby negativing the claim of ootpath. CIVIL SIDE. MARCH 21.—Bowyer v. ti'aikalane.—This was an action fur words imputing that the plaintiff had feloni. ously stolen a sheep It appeared in evidence that the plaintiff, a butcher, carrying on business at Fritisbury, near Rochester, had purchased and paid for six sheep. Oti taking them home one of them heta'ne ili on the road, and he left it at a public-house whilst he drove the remainder to his premises. Ott his returning to the public-house, finding die sheep was past recovery, he cut its throat, and took i: home in a cart at four o'clock iii the morning.— Tim defendant, who was a bailiff to a gentleman farmer. happened to witness this part of the transaction, and suspecting that the sheep was stolen, followed the plaintiff to Fritisbury, knocked up some of his neigh bours, an I called upon them to assist in apprehending the plaintiff, charain2 him at the same time with having stolen a sheep. Tile matter was afterwards satisfactorily explained; but the defendant having a:rain repeated the slander, and haviii2 taken no notice of two applicatio . r made to hi in to 1111,1 J ke apolnay, the present action was brought to vindicate the plaintiff's character, which had been materially injured in the neighbourhood in conse quence of the accusation. Alf. Rolland addressed the Jury in mitigation or da !nages, and contended that, as mere was evidently no niihcious ittotsve totrutitt,le to the defendant, mere no. initial idima.tes would satisfy the justice of the case. The Jury, under the learned Judge's directions, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages CHOWN SIDE. Stephen Green was indicted fur hurglarionsly breaking and viiirt ilie dwelling house of the Afar us of Gala den, in the parish of Seale, in the county of Kent, in the night of the 9th of Notewber last, and stealing a large of household and other linen to the amount ,if 411.
