I;UUKT OF. KING'S BENCII.-(T HIS --ORNING.) TRR MHO V. HARVRY AND CHAPMAN. • • This-was an ez-olficio information filed kg the A TTOlt lay Gssrartat, against the Defendants, for a libel on His Majesty in the Sunday Times , of the 9th of February last, ' in which it was insinuated, that His Majesty had for some • time laboured under a certain hereditary malady. . The. ATTORNEY GINSRAL addressed the Jury, in enpport of the information, and contended that however grave the terms might be in which the libel was conveyed, they Were but so many hypocritical and sarcastic sneers, in tended to cover the irony that lurked beneath. He con 'eluded by anticipating that the Jury would find no 'difficulty in finding a verdict against the defendants. The usual proofs were then put in, by Mr. SYKES, the SPlicitor for the Stamp Office, and others, that the 'defendants were the proprietor and printer of die paper in 'question. : The COMMON SIIRGRANT, for Mr. Chapman, made an :excellent speech ; in which he dwelt on the unfairness of selecting, for prosectition, one through whose hands the One's.. merely passed as printer, and who might be, and probably was; wholly ignorant of its contents. He might even he a trencbman who understood net a word of the language in which it teas written ; and yet, acrording to this practice, he would be subjected to fine antrimprison. meat equally with the author, who could not be ignorant of the whole scope of the alleged libel. He reminded the Jury that even if they alionld think themselVes obliged to find a verdict against the proprietor, whose case lie should , bevel° the hands of his learned friend, Mr. Brougham, it . . did not follow that they must include his client • Mr. BROUGHAM made a most eloment address to the Jury, • , in behalf of Mr. Harvey. He observed that the Attorney Ge neral had not evinced much judgment in assuming that re spectful langoage could not be used towards his Majesty, but it must be taken for sneering sarcasm and hidden reproach. It Was not Lobe so wondered at that after thetreasonable practises, ' for so he would always call them, that had been adopted. on e ' former occasion, on which the sceptre had been handled by other hands than the only ones that ought to have used it, and on which Divine Pro% idenee alone saved us from a convulsion of the most dreadful nature, that Mr H. was anxious to tell the put l'c all that hail come to his know ledge on a subject in which they were so deeply intereteJ. He then commented on the differed passages in the alleged libel. Could tint, he asked, his Majesty he sincerely said deeply to deplore the did of his agricultural • subjects, when the very same sentiments were ex• .• in the speech from the throne, in the same paper? ~prrtl. s l ia d J ury believed thst his Majesty was incapable of ~t ,1 6 % common (relines of nature, then h i s case was c l osed. 4. y was it ironical to car that his Majesty felt for the zeal% of his Royal Consort? Ile (Mr. littoucusm)asserted •,,that his Majesty did feel under those circumstances as any of his eubjects.ought to feel. lie concluded by calling on the jury to alien. a proper regard for the liberty of the press, a 'lord, the pronunciation of which lie was sorry to say was generally ominous. In one place it usually preceded a call for a heavy punishment for nothing at all, and in • another, it was mostly followed by the enactment of some half•dozen statutes that left us little else but its shadow. . .... The conclusion of his rpeech was received by 7tb• numerous assemblage in Court with marks . • ef applause, that were immediately checked by a call on • the offieers to take the offenders into custody; but a short • pause taking place, they were resumed several times in spite of the repeated cries of " officers, officers!" The ATTORNRY-OR!CRAL replied. The 'Verdict nes not returned when our paper went to press. OLD DAILEY.—(leis filoarnxG.) be to la rs. sa. On re sr. B. ;hir ire me SHOP-LIITINO •.•••.DISTRESSND CASE.—Ams Tufbeg was put to the bar, on an indictment, charging tier with stealing in the shop of Mr. Furnies, Linen-lraper, a piece of printed cotton. This case excited very considerable sympathy in the Court. The unfortunate woman had been apprenticed to a weaver, and up to the time is question, had borne an .unblemished character. Want of employ, however, for a •kngtb of time, had rendered her destitute, and distress .drove her to commit the act. The Jury found her guilty, but begged strongly to recommend her to merry. The RZCORDBR said, the Court from what it had heard was similarly disposed, and alter a short consultation rsqnested Mr. Wontner, to inform the tiovernora of the Refuge for the destitute, that it was the particular desire of the Court, that she should he received into the Asylum, until she could obtain eutploymen•. Mary Weeton, an unfortunate widow of a Piano Forte Maker, was put to the bar on an Indictment charging her with stealing in the house of Barclay, F.q., of Devon shire Place, a shawl, the property of John Perry. This unfortunate woman's case also excited compassion, notwithstanding the impudent manner of the robbery, as it appeared from her situation, and baying s fine young infant in her arms, that sleep distress bad driven her to commit the offence, which took place in Open day, the prisoner baring watched an opportunity of going down the area steps, and again running up with the property. She was found Guilty, and sentenced to two *nth imprisonment in the House of Correction. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. on.

AND MRS. GRAHAM'S ASCENT PROM BATH. PROM TRH ■ATH CHRONICLE In our last Mr. Graham announced his intention if again ascending from this city ; principally in order to disprove the - ii 'stior - hir cond..- - to which the _ unjust imputations on is conduct, partial Idlers of his former ascent bad given rise. To give full effect to this intention, Mr. resolved oti net receiving remuneration from the public on the present occasion. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, crowds of spectators surrounded the spot, (a yard In the Upper Bristol Road) anal covered the adjacent rising ground. About half east two o'clock, Mr. Graham fang his wife took their seats in the car; the balloon then Me majestically, and towered to an amazing height; it remained in view about ten minutes, when it OW lost eight of amidst masses of dark climb. The following particulars have been obligingly come municated to us by Mr. Graham : " The lunation commenced at half-past nine, and from the rapid supply of gas, was completed at twelve. We ascended at 35 minutes past two, amidst a heavy shower a, rain. At about the height of a mile, we found it necessary ' to throw out some ballast; soon after we experienced a heavy fall of snow, the snow was Almon the six. of a pea, and had the appearance of crystal ; this closed the halloo. to descend, but on throwing on• more ballast the mach's, preserved an equilibrium fur nearly half an linur, when it began to descend, and in eight minutes reached the earth.— After rebounding thrice, the balloon was secured by the grappling-iron taking hold of a tivrebarred gate ; and in s few minutes, with the assistance of two men, we were safely landed from the ear, after being in the air exactly 50 minutes. The spot where the balloon descended was en Lord Bolingbroke's estate, between Swindon and Wooten- Basset, being a distance of froon Bsth. We were met by Lord Boling lattice s . accompanied by several Gentlemen ' anal some of his tenants, who, by his Lordship's desire, utak the greatest care of the balloon' and its appendages, while we went to Lydian! House, where we experienced the greatest kindness and hospitality, from Lnrd and Lsolv Bolingbroke and family. We left layiliard Monte at 7 o'clock in a past chaise, end arrived in Bath about half past eleven." We understand that at the instance of Mr. Graham's friends, s discription 11.43 are oroed to indemnify him foe the very considerable expense he must have incurred. ST. JAMES'S Squaen.—Tbe repagement of this square, according to the plan of Mr. M'Artain, appears to meet with many objections. It is said to be of such a nature that no filth, of weich there is alr.sily en abundant quantity, can be removed without much ditlicu.ty ; and there seems little chance of the :coos.* stones being ever ell;etually ground down, as all carriages and carts naturally avoid the sharp psvement, and proceed along the middle to escape the unpleasant roughness of either side. The same observer who communizates these remarks thronth a paper of yesterday, states another objec tion, of a mote Rimming kind, which he describes as "radical in London." We knew not whether he means by this epithet to convey a political ineendo, or reflect upon a particularclass ; hut in his explanation he says that "lie alludes to the tempta tion such a handy mass of convenieut missiles will afford to a populace on all occasions of excitement '•" and adds, that " had St. James's square been unhappily thes furnished a few years since, the consequences would probably hare been of the most rninous description." We wouder that when the apprelien• Mons of this writer were awoke, he did not lift his eyes from the ground, and look around thesqaare, and see every iron rail becoming a pike-head. THI ORKIN PARK.--The high wall on the eastern side of York Honse, contrary to expectation. has been rebuilt ; so that the orals , railing will be that of the recluse.' space on the western side, which is now in a considerable state of forwardness.—A new walk, for puh'ic convenience, bas been made on the outside of this railing, and a suitable opening made to it from St. James's Park. Dux nag, OCT. 23.—Early on Sunday morning our jail was broken open, and Ferguson, Scott, Shaw, and (lard nrr, with three women, viz. Robertson, Thompson. and Bruce, got out. Ferguson, since turning King's evidence, bad been confined in a cell in company with Gardner until Saturday evening last, when, in consequence, of their throwing missiles at persons in the street, and on suspi cion that they laud some intentions of at'acking the jailor, they were pot in irons about six o'clock. During the ..veiling they continued making a very great noise, and theJailor, before shutting the jail fur the night, in conjunc. 800 with the advice ant assistance of one of the officers, separated them ; and Ferguson was put into a room, sepa rated from that in which were confined Thompson and Robertson by only a partition. through which he, early in the morning, made his•way. There bring fire in the women's room, he, with their assistanee, burned the wood of the locks, and got into the plate where the inner key. lay. He now got off his irons, and opened the cells of Bordner, Scott, and Shaw; they then all entered the cell of Bruce, in which (she hosing been permitted to spin) was a spindle of yarn, which thry employed as a rope in letting themselves down by.? bark window on which were 1110 iron gratings. Robertson, who was the last to make her descen', had not descended above thr..e yards, when, losing her bold, she fell lo the ground ; anal the fill has in. jored Inr spine so much, that her recovery is very doulitfill. All new fled except Thompson, who humanely remained beside her unfortunate compatriot. and when assistance came they acre both again taken to jail. In the afternoon liardner and Scott were lousy! at 'Feeling, and brought hack to jail; but Ferguson, Shaw, anal Bruce, have as yet eluded pursuit; t senty guineas reward has since been offered for the apprehension of Ferguson. On the evening of Tuesday week Charles Campbell, a porter in Dundee, fell into the new graving-dock there, and his head was so dreadfully shattered as to cause instant death. Some persons, who were alarmed by the noise of l his 1011, hurried to his assistance, but the nnfortunate man was qnite lifeless. A mistake of a very painful nature occurred in conveying home the corpse. The face was so much disfigured as to render it impossible to recognise him bat by his dress, and as he was thus mistaken fur another man, his holly was carried to the wrong house, and laid out in the habiliments of tire grave. This error was not dis covered till the other man came home, when the corpse was removed to the abode of the disconsolate widow. A chapel of that sect known in the provinces as the Ranters, was opened last Sunday, in the Broadway, Westminster; the only instance of the kind in London. though by no means un common in the north of England. These people receive their designation from utteringthe most piercing shrieks and screams in their devotions, similar to the Neapolitans at the exposure of the blood of St. Januarlus, when, upon a certain day an nually, it changes from a solid to a liquid state. A great num ber of people had assembled the Suoday previous, but were disappointed in the opening, on account of the license not hav ing been procured. The preacher stood upon a tub turned up side down, and rested his hands upon the back of a chair,which contained the necessary volume. He delivered a discourse of some merit, and afterwards stated that the characteristics of their sect was an endeavour at the most scrupulous conformity with the manners and practices of the earliest Christians ; for that purpose they had before assembled in the open sir, but his arrest and imprisonment prevented a repetition of this, and caused the opening of this chapel. Tim present Meeting pass ed of with decorum. A lady preached in the afternoon. HACCNIST COACII OPPICL-041 Friday, upwards of 30 summonses were heard by the .Commissiuners, for ex actioni, abuse, and other misbehaviour. Several were fined- to the 'penalties of•10s.; 155., and 20s.

Yesterday (§undav; 46th inst.) abosit hilf past poe o'clock, the Lord Maier anal Sheriff Petrie entered a public house in North 'King Street, where they surprised upwards of one hundred and twenty men, about seventy of whom made their escape; 6ftrone were found secreted various parts or the house and seven on the root:— Brest resistance was made before they could be steered, which was not effected , until the military guard stationed F at Nevigate cause to his Lordship'. assistance. It is not yet ascertained what the object of so nunserons an U. b embiage .covilti have been to one house; the persons cow , witted are principally from the neighbourhood of Maine yin, Finglsashridge, and Margaret's.—(Deb/in Joann.) The Dublix Morning . ost of Tuesday, received this morning, states the case in a less alarming manner, in the following terms : Between the boars of one and two o'clock on Sunday, the Lord hlayot visited the house of a publican, named Griffin, in North King-street, where a considerable number of into were then drinking. The greater number effected their escape, but many were taken iuto.costody and lodged' in Newgate after maltiog great resistance.. Information for an assault have been lodged at the Held Office of Police against the owner of the house, his two waiters, named John Dooley, and William Elliott, and also a man named Michael Dunn, by two parole Constables, named Thema Wady and Matthew Murray, wbo were io attendance on his Lordship. IRELAND. -01.1.- LIMERICK. OCT. 25.—Tux LATE Ray. WILLIAM D. Ifositti.—This good man and most exemplary Divine left his house, at Litford, near this city, on Thursday morning. for the purpose of proceeding to Shanagolden, on clerical business; he travelled in a gig, and was not unfortunately, attended by a perv:int. About three or four miles from town, some accident happened. which frightened the horse, and in his rapid course the vehicle was upset and broken, in which Mr. lioare was found entangled. Careful dispatch was instantly used in conveying him to his residence, and, on the injury he had sustained being made known, all tbo faculty. with the most lendable anxiety for his safety. repaired to his hottle, in order to administer every aid that ; professional science could supply for his relief avid' recover•. From the time he was discovered on the road after the accident he never spoke. When his me— dical friends reached him he was quite insensible.— No fracture, not even an external mark appeared ou his person ; but a copious discharge of blood issued from hie ears, and a concussion of the brain. with the rupture of a blood vessel. were apprehended to have been the sad coo. sequences of the calamitous casualty. During the whole of Thursday night, Surgeons Thwaites and Gibson remained iu attendance ; and in the morning of yea:erdsy the pullet of their lamented friend and patient having become slower and more r •gular, afforded some faint hopes to console the numerous sorrowing inquiries who surrounded the house and crowded the avenne. In the course of the day, how ever, these slight symptoms vanished ; and although Surgeons Thwaites, tiibson, Wilkinson, and Franklin, Doctors Harding, Campion, arid Lyons, and we might say almost every physician in our city, were incessant in their assiduities, yet all were unavailing, as he languished until 7 o'clock this morning, when his valuable life ceased, and his pure spirit took its flight to those celestial realms prepared as the blessed reward for the piety and vinare which adorned and distinguished his earthly career. The n umber of persons daily seen in oar streets, in a state of intoxication, since the reduction, is the duty on whiskey, excite Is any description.—(Liineriek Chronicle.) (cot NTY OP wex PoRD.) We have received the following communication through a very respectable channel:— Wuirsnorism.—.' On Tuesday night last, the 21st, a large party of men assembled on that part of the lands of Booby Hill, in the pariah of Fethard, Barony of She,- bourne, held by Patrick Cullen, who dug up and.earried off about 20 barrels of potatoes that were under distress for rent. Cullen having abandoned his farm, and taken off his corn, these potatoes were seized for rent and arrears. Cullen's father, having come near these oightly legislators, was compelled to retire.—Ctesar Cul:dough, EN. being ap prised of the facts, iimnediatelv ordered nut a division of Police, but their search prdved fluitless."—(Werford Herald) WExvoCD, Oct. 22.—Seldom have the uncertainty and instability of human affaits been more strikingly exem plified than by an event which occurred here on Saturday night. A number of joyous folks were assembled at the house of a Mrs. Deriesy, in the Main Street, in order to celebrate a wedding, and were freely indulged in all the hintionv and conviviality of the occasion, but, •• such is the stuff that life is made of," before supper-time one of the guests was a corpse the father of the bride! The de. ceased's name was Robert Murphy. TlTllr CoMPOStTION.--11.ECI AI.

The parishioners having assembled in Special Vestry in Trory Church on the Gth instant. in conformity with the provisions of the Act. F.dward Archtlall, Esq . the laudlonl of all the lands tithe-free in the parish, was called to the Chair. After some irregular discussion, the gees.' tion was put whether a composition for tithes should take place in bee parish, when almost every individual, with the exception of the worthy Chairman, gave his vote, un der the predominant feelings working in the human mind —what was most for their advantage ; consequently there ranged in favour of the Bill all the small Farmers, who cant their bread by tilling their grounds, and against it all the occupiers or owners of large tracts, under grass, most ofivliotn are non-residents in the parish. 'the former,with the assistance of two votes of their disinterested landlord, who was the only one entitled to two on their side, had the m tjority : the latter had th:ee entitled to two votes each. — This principal question being carried, Mr. Archdall was appointed Commissioner on the part of the parish, and Mr. Irwin, of tiara, on the part of the Rector, the Reverend Mr. Young. In a very short time they were satisfied, from their inspection of the tithe .payments, sod from the information they received on the spot what the average value was ; and accordingly, with the majority at Vestry approving of the came, fixed at once on the sum to he paid for the nest '2l years, as a composition of all the tithes in the parish. 'file other necessary proceedings have been gone through, and the Bill now takes effect from the first of November next—a circumstance on which we congratulate the parish.and which, we have no doubt, will give mutual satisfaction to all the parties conierned.— (Erne Packet) KILKLNNT, OCTOBILR 25.—CONDUCT OP TMI On Thursday forenoon, two ladies, sisters-in-law, 'both of delicate and nervous frames, with their infants and Duress, took a drive of a mile or two into the country. On their return home, on passing down High Street, a party of the new Constabulary, who have no ardliority whatever is the city, stopped the car, and regardless of the feelings or terrors of the ladies, dragged the driver from his seat. A crowd naturally-collected, and some of the neighboorlog shopkeepers expostulated with the officers of the police on the daring and unmanly conduct of their men. After having been thus kept prisoners for some time, by armed • men.-ie the'inftlet - of i crowd, on the High•creet of Kil• ilennfrthe driver was condeseendingirpertnitted to resume his seat. sod the car was suffered to proceed with the ladies dml ehildreh, but' under an escort of pblice, whiCh acccitn . panied.4lounrto 'the door of their astonished haebandi jai the Coal,Market,, have replied the storg.hintleehly,:ffir we cannot give utkrance to oar feelings on this grasp atteek on the 'liberty of the ittbj-tt, in the persons of delicate fr. r::s nMlesind iurslifg itifatits, by aimed men, at the noon day. The pretence, see understand, was that they bad a warrant against the driver for an assault long since alleged to have been committed by bim on she person of the leader Of 'the party. But even if they bad had jurisdiction in the city, and a warrant in their packet, such conduct was perfectly tnexediable, as the drwei could have been as easily arrested when the ladies had arrived at their own homes, as in the middle of ;fish Street. On the very same day on which the above outrage was committed, •scone of them shot two quiet but valuable watcb dogs in the liberties of this city, also within the jurisdiction of Sir Wheeler Cuffe. Denis Bolger, a respectable farmer, ivlio resides on this side of Tennv Park,was carting hoMe corn on that day. His dogs were in the field. Some passing police took aim and killed one of them.
