STREET ♦ND ANOTII El. 31t. Setitallt V tUGIIAN, for the plaiptif, said this was an anion of libel. The plaintiffs were ship-owners, and the defendants the proprietors of the Courier newspaper. he character of the plaintiffs and their prospects to life were subject to be consulerahly injored by such a publi 'anon as the libel in question. He admitted that the duty Of. an Editor was delicate and difficult ; but if he pubs lisbed a statement calculated to inflict an injury on any individual, and then, instead of retracting or explaining, be came into Court prepared to jus.ify every word he had • written, be must take the consequences of his own con duct. In such a case stood the present defendants;• and the fitly wotild teach them by their verdict that an at tempt to . prove the truth of a libel would, if -it failed, re coil on the bead of those who made the attempt, and be cirlidered_as an aggravation of the miginal injury. The defendants' property its the Paper and the. fact of pebliration were first proved. The libel was then grad. It stated that the plaintiffs had procured a great number of individual. to embark in a ship belonging to them, esPed the Hope,- for the purpose of proceeding to Van Diemen's Land ; that the vessel did not set sail un til above a month after the time specified, by which the passengers were most grievously inconvenienced; that when the vessel did proceed on her voyage, she was not stifficieutly victualled; and finally that she was unsound and•not seaworthy; it then proceeded to state, that the tillipencountered a gale in the Dir.vns ; that she put into Ranisgite Harbour, where she was seited for having more than her proper number of passengers ; and that her un soundness being then clearly ascertained, the voyage was determined, the passengers left to proceed as they cook; that their destitute situation was represented by Sir Ina. Curtis, Mr. Warne, and other gentlemen, to the Government, which most generonsly ordered a vessel to convey them to Van Diensetes Lana free of expense.— This!' statement was headed by the words — " Caution to. Emigrants." Mr. Rich. Harvey was called to prove the soandoets of the Hope; he saw her previously to her voyage, and . conajdered her perfectly seaworthy. Messrs. Mall and. Davison had stippfled the provisions, which were of the best kind. John Forsyth. a ship joiner, had built new cabins and fitted up the decks of the Hope previously to her voyage. His bar amounted to 4131. !WC...Gilbert Mitchell, surveyor to the underwriters at Llo yd', had rated her class E. 1. She Nis perfectly seaworthy ; she was sharp built, and would weather a hea vrieet; lottwas liable to greatet injury than another ship IF itteiatichett the ground ; heeconstruction would not permit her to do so without considerable delouse. fitr. Lenten& a ablpivright, bad been employed to re pair the Hope, after Tier return from Itionsgate. She was a perfsctly sound ship, althopgh she had beets much idjored i n the gale; her tifish?rs were sound, but some of het planks a little - worm-eaten, especially in parts where thetepper had been rubbed - off by her striking on hard ground in Ramsgate harbour..

Lord Chief Justice DALLAS &Awed the Jury. No per son, mild doubt oo this evidence that the plaintiff meant phase a seaworthy vessel; and it was clear that they believed they had done so, or they would out have put themselves and their families on board to proceed on the voyage and share the same fate of the rest of the pas ' sengers. The same observation applied to the provisions, ,of which the plaintiffs and their families partook. As to the accommodation of the passengers on board,one thing was clear —that the vessel had passed Gravesend without seizure, and although seized at aamogate.had afterwards on investigation, been ordered to be restored. The Jury would say whether they thought the defendants had ma liciously publiAhed the libel; and if so, they would then state to what damages the plaintiffs were inti fled. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs—Da mages, 3001. The trial occupied from ten in the Morning until nearly six in the afternoon. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD.—These Assizes commenced on Wednesday, before Lord Chief Jill Wee ABBOTT and Baro% °ARROW. The calendar was one of the heaviest known in that coun ty: 41 prisoners took their trials, of whom eigbt were sentented to Death, viz.—Joseph Milling, for stealing a ,bright bay horse, the property of the Rev. Joseph Gould; Jame Whitbread, for stealing a market cart and mare, the property of William Robinson ; Thomasßell, for stealing a bay mare, the property of*James Kempson, and a halter, the property of John Dear; James Norman and Richard Norman, for stealing one ewe sheep, the property of Samuel Brent; James Tansley and William Roberts, for stealing a brown horse, the property of Ed ward Lancaster, and Tansley, for breaking into the coach-house and stables of John Davis, E.sq. at Woot ton, and stealing a gig harness, two hair nose-bags, three riding saddles, and two pointers ; Joseph Tatham, for stealing a cow, the property of Wm. Bandicoot's. The following received sentence of transpogalion : Robert Hulding,for receiving 3 sacks of red clover seed, stolen from a barn at Rivley ; Levi White, for stealing two shirts, at Riseley; William Mole, for stealing a coat, frock, and waistcoat.

POLICE. AfA;asto man drespectability, who resides in the City, applied to tits Lord Mayor for a warrant to search St. Bartholomew's Hospital, for the body of his child under the following distressing circumstances : The applicant's child had been for some time afflicted with an uncommon disease, which baffled all medical treat ment, and the sufferer died under the hands of an emi nent medical practitioner, who expressed a great desire to open tire body in order to ascertain the nature and seat of the malady. The father 'did not hesitate to allow the examination, which was performed without the knowledge of the mother, and the body was buried snow afterwards in the burial ground on Fish-street hill. Two days after the sepulture, the neighbours were sho:keJ at seeing a shroud and empty coffiii in the burial-ground: Thelinelligence soon reached the ears of those who had recently burled, relatives or (fiends in the above-named burial-ground, an 4 the utmost alarm and cdnstetuation prevailed. The father of the child was amongst the first who heard the report, and he failed in 'keeping it con. coaled from his one, whose affliction at the loss tit' her child was aggravated by the fear that its grave had Wen violated. The fact was soon ascertained: The father recognised the dead clothes of his child, and having re ceived information that Bartholomew's Hospital had just obtained a fresh supply of Subjects, ran off to the Lord Mayor for a warrant, although the hour (six o'clock in the evening) had elapsed, beyond which search warrants are not available. The Lord Mayor passed by the forms, to which, under other circumstances be would have attended, and granted a search warrant, which the applicant received the assist ance of Mr. Cope, the Marshal, in executing. . Mr. Cope upon going to the Hospit il, attended by two of his Officers, was at first refused admittance by the par ter, who, however, opened the gate on hearing that the Lord Mayor sanctioned the visit. In the dissecting room was (ound the body of the child already in a state of fit nest to be Ihtured upon, the veins being filled with wax, and most of the flesh removed. The father, how ener, knew the hands and feet of his child, and the holy was removed and deposited safely. The sum of 61. 6,. 'bad been given for it by the surgeons of the hospital. 6,ll.l:MALL—Benjamin Pearson, the porter, in 'the employ of Mr. Mittman, bookseller, of Ludgate-hill, and ;Pm. .Robinson, the proprietor of the Star eating-house. in Oiltspur-street, who a few months ago, kept an old iron shop in Fleet - lane , w e r e char g ed yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Alderman Sir James Shaw, the former With robbing his master, and the latter with re ceiving' the property knowing it to be stdlen. The property stolen consisted of copper-plates of considerable value. Further evidence bring requisite in order to establish I I clearly the guilty knowledge of Robinson , both the pri ioners were remanded for another examination. Alithe stolen, plates, have, it seems, been melted down; the porter received at the utmost lei!, than 201. for them, whilst the expense tei . Mr. Alai/man to reinstate them Will 'a mount at the least to 20001. ' Bow.sfassrl—Yesterday Captain William Wallace, of the army, appeared befoTe the Sitting Magistralen to answer the complaint of the ,higlit'Hom Lord Cltiontor ris for assaulting and beating Lord Claiimorris, who Was 'attended by his Solicitor, 'made a reqUest that the case might be beard in private, 'but Captain Wallace having 'been asked if he desired that it might be private; sad replying in the negative, the complaint Was beard In the usual way. Lord.Clatimorris stated that lie was at Offiey's, a place 'is Henrietta-itreet, Covent-garden, the other night, be -twee!) twelve and one o'clock, when Captain Wallace en: 'tered tire-room, and advancing towards him said, " You ,are a coward and a scoundrel ' • 1 have published you as each to 'the world , and am glad to meet you once more that I may tell you so to your face." To this witness replied * '' It is quite impossible that any thing coming ; frioni so itifathous 'a character as you can be noticed by a 4entleinin." Captain Wallace then said, " You scoun drel, you deserve caning, and I will cane you." He laid Iris cane over 'the shouldets of witness, whereurin,he took up candlestick end' threw it at Ca pt . Wallace ; a innteat ensued , which was terthinated by the interference of the waiters. The laCing the cane over his shoulders was the assinit W-hicli witness complained. 'Captain Wallace said, it Was perhaps unnecessary to state4eartgin Of the quarrel, but he felt himself bound toorititiou some cleeuMit'ances in explanation of his comae. LordClanoriorris and he had once been on a footing of-Intimacy, but'his Lordship hail chosen, some time ago, to brand hint with the e p ithets of " scoun drel, • "man of infamous Character, ' &c., behind his hack.; altdAving been informed of it, he sent a Mend, .Cairot t Edwards, 91,, the Navy, to demand from his Lord ship an eMariation. He (Captain W.) had no with to ftght, although teadyto do so. but his military friends thought am explanation imperatively called for. The Milynnilwer Captain *Edward! eOuld-obt ;10 was a•rtlfar ence to Lord Clammorlan attorney. He (Cara* V) stATl*as N 414 of Course, not satisfied with this'inairer, He was' bet, perhaps, equal la rank to Lord Claitmorris, but be was of quite as good a famq; is an officer, he believed,' he might say be was nitortithitiognished in the, Service; and as a gentleman he certainly was the eqiial of the no ble Baron, and he therefore eald not siiidmit tamely M such treatment. He saw his Lordship, on the flight in question, and again demanded an expliinkition: upon` itti bring refused, lie certainly did lipid, the term's that had been mentioned, and told his Lordship that he might consider himself caned, hot he did not strike him. Lord Claninorris threw a candlestick, which broke the back of his hand, so that he was obliged to Wear it in a sling; and indeed his friends told him be ought to have i'aiten out a warrant against Lord C., but it was not a mode to which gentlemen usually resorted; and he should not have troubled the Magistrates, if the Nolale Baron had not. Mr. Airmail:Lt.—Then you deny the assault? Csptaio Wallace-said he did. The deposition of Lieutenant it. Wright, ,of the 9th' Lancers, was read; it went to prove that Captain Wel. lace shook his cane over the shoulders of Lord Clatituor ris. This deposition had been taken on Saturday, when the warrant was granted, Lieut. Wright being obliged to join his regiment. Captain Wallace called Captain Mansell, K. N. who stated that he went with the former to Wiley's, and was present at thefracas. He gave the same account of the gentile, and denied that Captain Wallace strlick Lord Clantnorri.. His Lordship offered to tight witness if be' was a gentleman. and witness, referred him to the Navy' Club, to satisfy his scruples upon that head. Sir K. WON( E ad‘ised the witness to stop there, or he might compel the Magistrates to call upon him for sureties. Captain Wallace said, Lord'Claimorris was particu larly scrupulous in his choice of gentlemen to fight frith; and offered to call Captain Edwards in proof of that as serion, but the Magistrates said they could not listen to extraneous matter. Sir K. U m: gm—Pray where did this affair happen? Capt. Wallace—At Otiley's in Henriettadstreet. Sir iLliltaste—Aye; the Burton ole-shop—well Mr. 511 NOHVLt said lie had heard quite enough to de. termine him as to the c^urse lie should adopt. lie should call both upon the complainant and defendant to find sureties, each himself in 2001. and two responsible per sons in 1001. each, for their appearance at the Sessions, and for their good behaviour in the interim. Capt. Wallace said lie was prepared with bail, and tendered ('apt. Edwards and another gentleman. • Mr. MINSHULL asked Lord Clanmorris if he had any objection to make to the bail, and was simmered in the negative. Sir R. BIRNIE—Pray is Lord Clammorries bail here, becluse Capt. Wallace has a r h rht to be present, and io object if he thinks proper? Cap'. Wallace is of quite' as' good a family as Lord t.'lanmorris. ran be, and even handed justice requires that he should have the same ad vantages. Mr. Missnuht.—" 0: certainly." Nn objection, however, mas made, and Vs Lordship was bailed by his Solicitor and Mr. Egling, landlord of' the Shakespeare Tavern io Covent-Barden. HATTON GARDEN.—Yesterday, J. Twickfield, a corn chandler, living at No. 3, Brewer-street, Somers'-.own, was charged with . riding• over a woman, by which her life was in danger. From the evidenced three or four gentlemen who witnessed the.accident, it appeared, that about one o'clock the preceding day as the people were coming out of St. Pancras New Church, ti e prisoner was riding most furiously along the road, aadnev'er at tempted to curb his horse. 'Abe horse ran against the woman and knocked iter down ; the concussion was so great that the horse fell over her. The woman was dreadfully bruised, and is not as yet declared out of 'dan- . ' ger. The prisoneeiv‘as ordered to find bail, himself in lOU and two sureties in 30'. each. STATE OF CRIME iN ENGLAND AND Wat.ge.—A dom. ment has appeared from the Horde Department, stating' the another of criminals committed to the several goals , in England and Wales for trial in the last seem years.. Upon looking through these statements, we find that there was a decrease in the number committed for trial in the last year, compared with the umber, &c. in the preceding year of 574. Also, that a less number were committed, &c. in the last year, than in any of the five preceding years. The decrease appears to have been io most of the manufacturing counties, which may perhaps ' be attributed, in some measure, to the increase of em ployment, to the cheapness of provisions, and also I.er haps to the effect of the " Tread Mills" lately intro duced. A small increase in the number committed, &c. appears, however, in the county of Middlesex during the last year. The crimes of " iorgery and uttering, Sze." and " having in possession:, &c. forged Bank-notes," ap pear to have most remarkably decreased, only one be ing committed for the latter offence in the last year, and in the years precedinte—l I, 2SO, &c. ling.—Saturday night, between eight eight and nine o'clock, a tire broke out in the house of Mr. Parish,eorn chandler, Dockhead, Benuond,ey, which, notwithstand• ing the immediate attendance of several engines, mas in the course of an Lour consumed to the bare walls. For tunately the fire was prevented from communicating to the adjoining houses. MYSTERIOUS AND MELANCHOLY DEATH. —Mary Kent, late servant to Mr. John (finders, of Kingsley, in this county, died frosts the effects of Poi•am on the 26th of February last, and an incrust' was held on her body at the Castle. Hoek in lane-end, on the 3d and 4th inst. It appeared in evidence, that on Monday, the 24th ult., her master discovered that ao intimacy subsisted between her and John Woodward, a fellow-servant, of which lie disapproved, and in consequence of which he dismissed Woodward on the following day, and the unfortunate girl almost imMediately after left her m a ster's seryke without giving him any notice. She sat up with the young man during the night of Tuesday, at a cottager's in the neighbourhood, and visited her father on Wednes day, but where she passed that night did not appear. On Thereby night she slept at a house at Bretley Rork., where she remained, apparently in good health, until noon on Friday, when she proceeded towards Lane-end , and between four and five o 'clock was diseovered lying by the road side near Fox Hearths, by James Picked', of Newcastle, who was driving a one horse cart. The man humanely assisted her into the cart, and conveyed her to Lane-end. On the road she complained of being excedingly ill, and charged the young man (meaning, as it 'is supposed, her sa eetheart), with baring adminis tered poison to her in'some rum and water at the Plough, at Wetley Rocks; but it was fully proved that she and Woodward had nut, nor had either of them, been at that bonne. The hapless woman having been taken into the habitation of a labouring man at Lane-end, languished gbout three hours, when she expired, much convulsed. A•post inortem examination of the body showed the stomach and small intestines, to have been in a highly indented state ; and the contents of the stomach afforded indubitable proof, by chymical tests, that arsenic had been taken. As a further proof that poison was the 'cause of death, a portion of the suspected matter was a dministered to a rabbit, which proved fatal in the course of a few bones. The verdict of the Jury was, that Mary Kent had died from the effects of poison, hitt by whom adlninistered, 'or where purchased, did cot appear-- (SP:Tort/shire Adv.) l'here was an'abundant Show of cattle at Launceston Fair, on Thursday, bat the demand was not great, and towards the close of the day, many bead of cattle were sold at a rate below what was obtained fir like &scrip eons last asositb. itglwroL 1. 1 11 .
