Mr. King denial that Dr. Gwyane had said that the 10,00 W. was to be devoted to the poor of the parish ; on the contrary. he under. stood. that the mosey was to he divided as a bonus moat those who were toaceraed is the prolecntion. to induce theta to abandon the farther proceedings against Mr. Merceron. The case for the plaintiff having closed, the SOLICiTOR GENERAL, after a short pause, stated, that it would not be necessary for bias to call any witnesses on the part of the defendant, as the plaintiff had consented to take a verdict of M. to be applied to the purposes of some pone e.hatity. •ith the further condition that Dr. tiwynne should pay all the costs of this action. It was elver that the libel which bad appeared in The Sunday Monitor, could not be justified, and his client bad appa rently acted under erroneous hnpressions. With regard to what had been said in the course of this cause as to the sum of 10,0001., it was due to the . character of Dr. tiwynne to state, that it was not a private transaction, that no concealment was sought by him as to the appli cation of that sum, that in his endeavours to prevent Mr. Merceron from being brought up for judgment, be bad been influenced by the distresses of Mr. Merceron's f►- wily, bet that be bad uniformly insisted upon a corn - Ode compensation being made to the fund which had been defrauded. Mr. Sc►at.lTT observed, that in acceding to this pro position after the case had been gone through, which Le was ready in the first instance to leave acceded to, hie client bad gives the strongest proof of his moderation, and bad shewa that in bringing this action he was ac tuated solely by the desire of vindicating his character.

This was an action by the late Vestry Clerk of the parish of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-;creep, against the de fendant. lately one of the High Sheriffs for the county of Middlesex, a Doctor of Laws, and a Barrister. for publishing an alleged libel of and concerning the plain tiff's character as an attorney, and of and coact/reit% his conduct as late Vestry Clerk of that parish. The defendant pleaded a justification of the libellous matters set forth in the record. Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. HOLT conducted the plaintiff's case; and the Soucevisa-tiontenaL and Mr. MARRIATT the defendants. The circumstances of this case afforded very little of interest to the public. The transaction which was the subject of the present inquiry arose out of the long con tinued disagreements in the parish of St. Matthew's, Bethnal-green. In April, 1t319, there being about to be a contest for the election of a Vestry Clerk of the parish, a warm canvass took place on the part of the friends of Mr. May on the one hand, and a Gentleman named Brown on the other. The interests of the latter Gentle- MO were espoused by Dr. tivrynee, wise joined the Committee nominated to conduct his election. It was alleged against the defendant, that in order to blacken the character of the plaintiff, and injure him in the esti mation of the Vestry at the approaching contest. he bad caused a packed meeting of certain inhabitants of the parish under the influence of himself and a Gentleman named Sayers's, - to bh assembled for the purpose of raising solutions of censure upon the cooduct of Mr. May. as to the appropriation of the parish money to wards the expellers of a prosecution instituted agalast Mr. Ilerceren. These sesolutioss waded to impost se the plaintiff that he load made out fictitious bills of Costs for that prosecution, and that he bad misappropriated the perish money is the expenee of the eating and drinking of a party in the parish called " The Consti , tined Antborittes." It was alleged that the defendant Dad canted these resolutions, with a prefatory address of his owe eonsposieloo, to be inserted in j w. tined"' .411ouiter of Aril 2. 1t419; tha Ira afterwards mused it. to be printei os a hand-bill, sod circulated amongst the. • Parishioners; wad iti l he he'd Ai`Oen -% itett sad 'Pits. ed a pamphlet of aittili more litook;as tendenei, far ; Hoe purpose of bla c kmail; the plaintiff ' s charisctett, ta defeatiag his'electiou.

It was provettaat on that occasion One of the principal insti pteetet the prosecution was Dr. Owyene, in conjunc 'with the Rev. Mr. King, Rector of the parish, and few other respectable inhabitants. Before the con *don took place, it was alleged that the Doctor, for ems reason not assigned, had begun to repent that be bad taken any part in the proceeding, and actually paid Messrs. Knight and Freeman, the solicitors employed to conduct the Piltsecution, a sum of 1251., to reimburse them the expense they had already incurred; and on his part abandoned all further proceedings in the business, and then became a partial, of Mr. Merceroo. It was further alleged, that after the conviction took place, the Doctor became extremely anxious to defeat the ends of justice, and prevent Mr. ilereeron from being brought up for judgment. Upon this and other points the Rev. Joshua King was examined, and he swore that after the conviction tank place, Dr. fiwynne waited upon him at his house; and laid, that in coussquesee of the affliction of Mts. Metter** at the misfortune'. of her husband, Ind urged by thi intiesties of friends, lie called upon him to.ehaeavoic to induce bite and the other gentle. ma who bad btOught forward the prosecution, to iferlbear Wight, Me. bieiteron up for jnflement. Mr. King intpresied his concern for Mrs. Simi.' rotes sufferiugs. ..r.hieta he seriously deplored, but said ha wield Min had himself to defeat public justice. t'pon which Dr. thrynne ;aid, 4‘ De' was -duly authorised to offer 10)1001. to 'save Sir.

WAITHMAN ANTI WILLIAMS. This was as action against the late Sheriffs of London, to recover a compensation in Damages for a loss sus tained by the taking of goods under an execution. issued by a person named Williams, by whom the defendants were identified. The question bad reference to a house and goods in New (mood Street, which had been con veyed to the plaintiff by deed of sale, a consideration for the property having Lem advanced to a person named Wilton, the owner. The Sheriffs took the goods illegally, and having sold the same, the plaintiff sought to recover the loss. A verdict was found for the plaintiff for 2,0001. subject to reference. Ten KING V.

I This was a prosecution- against the Mayor of the 1 Borough of Cambridge for refusing to comply with a Mesdames, directing him to admit a person of the name of Nash to the freedom of that city. Mr. SCARLETt stated, that the -question was one of great importance to the Corporation of Cambridge and the public.

In about a fortnight after wards the stock was sarveyed, when 31 gallops were found, although none bad been brought is or sent out by permit. The whole of it was seized by direction of the Board. The defendant admitted, withont hesi tation. that the increase was occasioned by hie bavieg mixed a quantity of Cape white wise with the sherry, witholt being aware that be wai doing wrong.

STITINTICK EQUIPMENTe••-•1111 a former paper we stated that this EqUipment bad been inirestigited a t WoOlerich by a Committee of Officers, by direction of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, previenis to its being submitted to the Board of Ordnance. The fol lowing is a description of the apparatus it is a simple mechanical equipment. consisting of s thin plate of iron front the top of the right shmtli/er down the back, nearest tit:. right side, and is fastened with three straps. On the back of this plate, about four inches below the shoulder, is hinged an iron fnicrom. half an inch in diameter, which rises ahove the head. On the top of it is a roller and chain, the trio ends of which fasten to a musket, or carbine ; the angles formed by the chain, draw the hat of the musket to the @boulder, and are not only of infinite assistance while is the act of loading or discharging, bat, under every circumstance, ease the soldier of bis musket, by bringing its weight centrally upon his body. Near the muzzle of the gun is a ring, fixed to a certain 'di mension to convey the sight to the object, and to which the chain is fined. Tim axis formed by the right and left hands in bolding a gun In a horizontal position, is now dispensed with, the body is moved gra/Nati; instead, keeping the gun to its angle, and firm to the shoulder. In giving the soldier 'petite; nical power. his force in a charge is rendered safer and more certain; the weight of his musket resting' upon his body instead of bis hands, keeps him poised, and, consequently, more alert. When the pro-. 1 jectile issues from the muzzle of the caliber, the lean' vibration of the pan will throw the hall olf thenitn at • a distance; therefore the stronger the abutment from whew, it issues the steadier• the aim, and, of course, less vibration. The belts used in fastening the shoul der plate afford every convenience fur the knapsack, cartoucb box. Sic. the circumference of the soldier re maining the same. The whole weight of this new ap paratus need not exceed Vbs. and will have an ample offset in the.discostieuance of the bayonet, eartouch.. and musket belts; the butt end of the musket stock may be. reduced, m it will always be slung to the fulcrum.
