Tbe duel in which Mr. Colclough unfottunately fell, originated with Mr. Alcock. and the cause, sif,- understand, is this. The later had been promise~ by a lady of considerable property in the county every vote she could influence rr , command. Some of Mr. Colclough's friends undertook to CaTlyls , her tenantry in favour of that Gentleman, which having come to the knowledge of Mr. Alcock, he immediately demanded an explanation from Mr. Colelough. The latter, it is stated, denied any knowledge of his friends' proceedings. but Mr Alcock insisted that it was to him alone 01r. Colclough), he should look for satisfaCtion. A challenge ensued. on which Mr. Colelough submit ted himself to the direetion of his Committee. The gentlemen who composed it, were of opinion, that Mr. Colelough should meet his antagonist Mr Beanchani? Colelough was the friend to the latter gentleman. and Mr. Perceval was Mr. Alcock's.— The first fire was fatal to Mr. Colelough, the ball haring lodged in his heart. Mr. Perceval and his principal instantly absconded. the meeting rook place at Alcandridge, near Wexford. They were attended to the field by a vast crowd of vellums.

This also arose irons the un happy differei cos of the Elea'lion. Sir FRASICiS fIURDSTT, we are assured, has sot been yet able to leave his room. A Treasury Jour.ial of last night says, " the late Ministers, in answer to the charges respecting their jobs, pass over the job of entnfing Lori Gees vitt e to hold a large sinecurr wits another the two being incompatible in the urn.- pera.n." We have more than once explained this fransaftiim. which has been repeatedly made the subjeil of un founded calumny and misery esentation—The 14.9 is this. Lord GRamvrLit has held for many years the patent place of Auditor of the Exchequer Thus circumstanced, His MAJISTY called upon him to become First Lord of the Treasury ; a place held during pleasure, with directions to firm a new Ministry. These two places were incompatible At the same time, it was not to be ezpeded that Lord Gminvictz was to strip himself of his pro perty, and put himself in a worse situation, in order to enable hilts to ••btfy His MAJEaTT'd Commands. How tin did he get out of this difEculty ? Why Parliament passed a Bill to enable him to hold the two situatio n ns.--'llere we think his Lordship allied unwisely, as the measure afforded a pretext to his enemies to cry out ff a job," and mislead the ignorant and the credulous. Had his Lordship ailed with leas candour, had he resigned the place of Auditor of the Exchever, in favour of some /fiend, who mi, : ht hold it in trust for him, the necessity of the AA of Parliament, which has been mask the subjea of so much vulgar ribaldry and abuse, against the late Ministers, in the leading hireling Print, would have been dispensed with, and his Lord ship and the public would stand precisely in the same situation in which the Aft of Parliament placed their .

C r n7R/ W KING'S BENC/I, WlSthlt w lutist The Court was occupied a great part of the morn. ing ir. justifying bail, and dio::arging Insolvent Debtors ; amo..g the Lair was a A non of the rim? of Anderson, who *IS broutiltOwp by his creditor, a Mr. Temple. This Insolvent had been*brnool:t up f r the par. pose of prevailing on him to make an assignment of his prop , :aty to his Creditor, pursuant to Aft of Par liament ; and although he was cautioned upon a homer occasion, that by that Aft. transportation ' would be the result ni his refusal, he still persisted inotot assigning 'o this gentirman, who alone of All his creditors was entitled, but offered to Assign to any other creditor except Mr. Temple. The Court remanded him, in order to give him time to consider what he should do. Nothing of any public importance occurred in the motitats of the day. At one o'clot.k. Lord Ect.esssouonois sat at Niri Prim, when the following cases were tried COACH OWNERS. IIIieRSOH and OTHERS O. consent'. This was an aftion brought by Messrs. Ibberson and Co. of the Blue Boar, Holborn, prnprietors of the Birmingham Telegraph stage coach, against their servant, the driver, to recover the amount of such sums of money as they had already been obliged to pay, and were still liable to pay. by rea son of the Defendant's negligence, in overturning the coach above-mentioned, It appeared, that, on the morning of the 3d of June, 1806, about four o'clock, the Birmingham coach was setting out from the Angel Inn, Oxford, on its way to Inocion, and had to make three or four turns before it came into the high road. The Defendant, who was the driver, having had some dispute with the horsekeeper, mounted the box in a passion, and drove off at a lotions rate, whipping his horses most immoderately, all along. The guard and passengers being aware, and alarmed et their danger, called out to him to desist, but to no purpose ; until turning out of Coach and Horse lane, (a narrow passage) into the High -street, the car riage upset, and no less than eight of the passen hers. besides the guard, were severe l y i n j ured. One ad his collar-bone broke, another a leg, another an arm, sod almost the whole of them were injured, more or less ; in consequence of which, the Plaintiffs nad been obliged to make reparation to three of them, and were still liable for the injury sustained by the others. They had paid to on. Gentleman 10 guineas, to another 50, and to the third I°o guineas The defence attempted to be art up was, first, that thePlointlffs had harnessed a young restive horse, lel r BOINes, as a leader, by way of experiment, and the Defendant being as excellent driver, they thought he would be able to break him in. The nes. defence was, that, by the negligence of the guard, the drag-chain was not fixed up in its prcp.r place. and getting entangled in the sway-bar, was •he cause of the coach upsetting. One witness for the Defendant endeavoured to chew, that the coach itself was badly construeled, and was at all times dangerous ; yet it appeared that this man had driven the same mach. several months. without any accident occurring. The owi deem. hnwevet, fell very short of the statement. Lard E LLLLL neouan, in summing up the evi dence observed, that the Plaintiffs in this case were imtiled to a tribute of praise for bringing this seems, and for the manner in which they con (allied it. Alter paying a proper compensation to the pawns injured, they then name to the Court for 'dress, instead of doing that which was too fte• vently praßised, defending an adlion against them the means of perjury, which was generally the ..ase, where the party gave a release to the coachman, in order to make him a competent ; when the coach-drivers were once taught to feel that they were responsible fur oleo conduß, many of accidents of this( kind o ell be prevented. The Plaintiffs, therefore, mere clearly entitled to such sums as they had proved they had paid to the passengers, who had -ustained injury. l'he only sums provod, however, v. re Ike twenty gnineas, and fifty guineas ; but the Jury would ALSO considet what furi!ier damage they had sustained, in the repairs of the coach itself, the oiring afloat r coachman for the journey, kc. The Jury, after a short consultation, found a verdia of lOU guineas for the Pla.ntifa. Mr. Patens, for the Piaintaff., then declared, that the money was no 0hj..0 to his clients ; they only wished to succeed for the sake of public example. ASSAULT. DICAS, V. LLOYD. This was an atli.:n of assault, brought by one Attorney against another. The parties raided at Stapford, in Cheshire, and the Plaintiff had taken out Summonses on behalf of a number of Journey. men Cotton Spinners, againrt their Master. The investigation being to take place before the Rev. Charles Prescott, a Magistrate of that county, the Plaintiff, with his Witnesses, attended in the morn. tog, at the office of the Defendant, who was Clerk to the Justice, and at whose office the magisterial business was trasisaSed. Aker waiting some time, the Defendant at last made his appearance, and without any previous ceremony or provocation, struck the Plaintiff on the face and breast, turned him into the street, and then repeated his blows, accompanying them with gross and abusive 1.40. guage. Mr. Tome*, for the Defendant, admitted the assault had been committed, but urged the improper conduit! of the Plaintiff, in availing himself of his privilege as an Attorney, in bringing this *akin to be trie.l in Leatiou, at so enormous an expense, in bringing up so many Witii.sses from Cheshire, when the question might have bei.n tried at the Session:. or at the last Assizes.

TICILES. • This was an salon brought by Mr. Bayley aglinst a Me Tucker, as attoniev. the ernioniis - an affirm aoairst a Mr Parsons, for whom Mr., William Batley, the present Plaintiff, becan ,t. Besides which, there were several oiler which this Parsons had been led, and in some of which, this Mr. Bayley bad, along with others, also been bail for him. The bail becoming aountis for their own safety and security, a meeting r oo k place between Parsons, Bayley, ar.d a Mr. John one of the other at the chambers of Mr. ker, , who was Parsons's attorney. Upoll she ellif• j ,, 51'0f renderi.;g Parsons in discharge of his bail. 1 tid k -r said, he would not stir a peg until he was paid 251. Upon this, 201. were paid by Parsons himself, anJ 41. 10s. was paid by the bail, Mr. 'Pucker having agreed to accept of these sums, am to 241 10s. as the total charges in ren dering P.rs ins in five diffent Acton§ ; At the Saida time assuring the bail that they were perfolly se cure, and might go home and sleep quier4r, It afterwards turned out, however. that Mr Tockei only surrendered Parsons in four of the aaiana which depended in the Court of Kings' Bench, Faring the fifth one, which depended in this Court, in which he did not surrender him, on account of a writ of error heing men pending.— Mr. Hill, the Attorney and wiginal Plaintiff against Parsons. some time afterwards sued out a writ of sue facial, and an etecutien kJ , lowed. Upon this happening, Stiffer went - lha Tucker, anA acquainted him or the event, cones?. ing that he had employed him as his attorney I end that it was, therefore, his duty to free him from a*y further trouble or expense. Mr. Tucker told Misr to go to a h.r. Morgan, his former attor ney, and desire him to ant!), to the Sheriff, and to have the money put into his head', and upon the matter being determined, the money would be re. stored. Bayley, honever, instead of doing this, went to Hill, the other attorney, who told him that Tucker was the man who ought to have paid hien the money. Hi!! persuaded Bayley to employ him and to put the money into his hands, and he would engage to recover it from tucker, and consequently the present aaton was brought under the drreaion of this Mr. Hill, in the name of Mr. Bayley, agaitee the present Defendant. This anion was lately tried by a Jury, and a vet die was given for the Plaintiff for 211. Tb. two principal questions on the merits were, whether Mr. Tucker was employed by Bayley, as hie attorney, so as to ntske him responsible and tun, whether the condua of Bayley, in not going to Mr. Morgan, or *Cling according to the diredsoos given loos, de prived him (Baylry) of his right of &aim atom Tu:ker ? Mr. Seijeant Env argued that there wars two grounds far a nonsuit, it being stated in the decla ratton that the Plaintiff bag employed. the Defend a ;t, had paid him 231. for inch renJering, and had faithfully pi omised to pay him inch other reasonable demands as might be made; while the second count was at vasiance with such a statement. The next ground was, that 'I ucker never was employed by the bail, and therefore Tucker was not guilty of any aegligence. The Learned Juno ma severally pre their opinions at considerable length, which we regret our li mits will not permit us to detail. It seamed to be the sense of the Conn. that the promise to sumo. der, in doe time, as contained in the contras, was the surrendering at a time, when, by not dotog so, the bail would be liable. In the ptetent inseam*, there was a writ of error, which suspended all pro. ceedingi, and therefore there ought not to have been any execution against the bail, unless it ap peared that the writ had been brought merely for the purpose of delay. Instea 1 of the bail bringing an anion against fucker for an irregularity, he ought to have brought one against Hill, the attorn 7, for his miscondua. and fucker had a right to com plain against Bayley, for not having followed his advice. The contra& was one between Parsons and Tucker, and not betwixt that attorney and the bail. This anion seemed to be one which failed in its foundatioa ; and from the whole circumstances of the case, there appeared to be grounds for a non suit, the breach of contraCt, on the part of Tecker, not having been sufficiently proved.-.Planitif rag. seised. ;~, • '1 The I 3th Light Dragoons, now on the coast duty at Deal, Sandwich, and Isle of Thanet, are ordered on tbe Kt no's duty At Weymouth, and will probably march in a few days. On the 3d instant, betivren ten and eleven o'Lluzk, as Mr. MACA RTY (priest of Ltican), and Mr. LYNCH, junior, were returning from Dublin. they were attacked by six robbers, near Curtiss Stream, who shot Mr. Msearry dead, and beat Mr. LYscm very much, and robbed both of their watches, and whatever cash they had abant them.

Patrons areireneeforward to take pier, between Lucian and Palrnerstown. Since writrig the above, the driver of a jaunting-car has given such information to Justice Wits.oces, as, it is hoped, will lead to a discovery of the whole gang; he is now in waive pursuit of them.—(Dotlise Parr.) Yesterday morning. while the Guards were on the Parade, to St. Jatari's Park, a party ot the Horse Guards passing at the time, the trumpeter's horse became restive, plunged, and rolled over him, be which accident he was very much Limited, t!'uti;;h it could not be asHtrtained that any banes were broken. His Royal Highness the Dike of Car. IRMO', being present, direaed that he should be sent to the Hospital, and every care taken of him, to render his situation as comfortable as possible. A few days back, a rtiosatkable circumstance occurred near Dover, in which th e h an d of 1-.-ovia deuce seemed partic ularly to have interpesed.
