r INSEILLJTION of the KNIGHTS of the B 117' IL • _......._ Notwithstanding the unfavoumble state of the weather yesterday morning, so much was the public cariosity excited by the magitilicient display which it Was generally understood would he made during this splendidceremony, that several hundreds of genteelly dressed women, had, at an early hour, occupied all the. places in the vicinity of Westminster Abbey, from which they could obtain a - view of the proces sion as it passed. The windows of the chambers at tached to the House of Lords were crowded with beautc and fashion, as was the roof of the colonade, and the windows cif all the adjoining houses ; and those (of whom them were many) who could not ob.] lain elevated'situations, contented themselves *llk a i partial view from their carriages. ‘ ....0 4, At eight o'clock several troops of Horse Guards i arrived in Parliament-street, from their 'qtaarters, I and were immediately "tenoned in small parties in all the avenues leading to the Abbey. About fifty I took their post opposite Whitehall, and double that number were placed in Great George-street, where i they dismounted, but stood prepared to remount if their services should be required. In the immediate 1 vicinity of the platform there were also strong par- ties, A company of the Pont Guards were stationed on the platform, which was not finished till a late ! hour ow Sunday evening, and which was formed of ' deal boards aboat a yard from the ground, bounded on each side' by strong wooden railing, and sir mounted by *mod of weather boarding. It ettend. ed from the ditor of the House of Lords, 'known by the name of the Prince's door, tWShgt door of the,. Abbey in Poet's Corner, and vat** was laid down from one end to the other. .. ". 7 '-'"c - ' Previous to ten O'clock all the persons who were to take part. in the to Sony had arrived at the house of Lords,. *hetet - hey attired themselves in their respective habits,• and shortly before eleven i o'clock, the neceesary arrangements hating been made, the procession commenced in the followiug or- der : - free Ushers, with wends oraasested with- ribineds.

When the procession. reached the chapel, .the Knights tacks their seats in their respective stalls, and under their banners, the Proxies and Esquires in their proper places. They made profound obei sances to the throne or stall set apart for the Sove reign, and which (the Prince Regent having declined honouring the ceremonial with his presence) was of course vacant. Close to it was the stall of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, who, as Acting Grand Muter, presided on the occasion. The ceremony Cashed, the procassion returned in the same order iu which they had approached the Abbey. The Duchess of York sat in-a temporary box, over the Dean's scat, at the entrance into the chapel, , which, together with the Abbey, was exceedingly crowded with Lidies of distinction.

His Lordship passed the awful judgment of death upon sixteen ; --and, in a most impressive address, ' held out not the smallest hope of mercy. DISARACIPUL OtitßAGl6.—On the 23tt ult. four American ships having regutarlycleared out with pas sengers for various parts of the United States, drop ped down the Derry river about sixteen miles, when they were bearded by his Majesty's schooner, Bar -1 barn, Lieut. Morgan, who proceeded to impress the passengers, as well as many of their friends, who had been on board to bid them farewell. Those un fortunate people were, as we are informed, proceed ing on their voyage, sanctioned by the law, and regularly cleared out by the Order of the Privy Council, after undergoing the necessary inspection by the Mayor of the City, and the Collector of the Port. Many acts of unprovoked cruelty are said to have been committed by the crew of 'the schooner upon thole passengers, as if it were necessary to deepen their regret at leaving so much Law and Liberty behind them as they had experienced from the commander and crew of a British ship of war, should they ever quit their native land. This outra geous transaction has deeply interested the feelings of the merchants and principal inhabitants of Derry, as well as of the neighbouring country ; and a meet ing, we arc informed, has been held in consequence, at which it was resolved to prepare petitions to Go vertsmeet, as well as to the Admiralty, expressive of the public sense of such conduct, which petitions are now on their way. The circumstance deserves minute and satisfactory investigation, and will receive it, it is to be hoped. FRAI/D.—Janes Hookering, servant to a family in Charlotte-street, who had been taken in by a written character from Enplefield Green, was dis charged a fortnight since, iu consequence of being suspected of larceny ; and in a day or two after an other porno, who stated his name to be Griffith:, applied for tike situation, and gave reference for cha. ratter to opatteman of the name•of Crate, on Big. shet-hoth. An answer was returned, which, in the common way, would have been accepted but, on investigating the business, no such gentleman as Crole could be found,end ultimately turned out, by the confession of Griffiths, that this character was issued from the same person who wrote the cha racter for Hookering the former servant, although not in the some hand-writing. Griffiths was taken up, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, in default of paying a line of 201. Roots.GETTING.—AII instance of this dangerous Practice occurred 'a few days ago, near &elegem ; a young man who' had the' temerity to ascend the loftiest boughs of a tree to take from tho 4 sable sovereigns their hatf-fiedged offspring, fell from the summit; and lies 'with little hopes of recovery.

THE DANK or ENCIAND. . • This was an action of Trover, brought against the Rank of England, to recover the value of three Bank of England notes of 1001. and tried before Lord Ellenborough, at the Sittings at Guildhall, when the Plaintiff obtained a verdict, subject to the question" at law, whether an action of trover could be maintained against a corporate body. It al,. peered that a Mr. Sidney, an attorney, of leurnival's Inn, was the actual Defendant in this case, and the Bank of England merely nominal. Mr. Sidney, it will be recollected, had his pocket picked in Fleet. market, of his pocket-book, containing (with others) the notes in question, which were afterwards passed into the banking-house of the Plaintiffs, by them transmitted to London ) and payment stopped by the Bank of England. Mr. BOSANQUET, on a former day, obtained a Rule Nisi, for the Defendants, to set aside the ver dict, and for leave to eater a noasuit, upon the grounds, that an action of trover and conversion could not be maintained against a corporate body. On Saturday,' Mr. TADDY, for the Plaintiff, showed cause against the Rule, contending, that as this was a question upon the right of property, the action or trover was maintainable as against the Bank of England in their corporate capacity, and cited se. veral authorities, when it was held that trover sup. posed a mis-feazance l for which a corporation might be indicted, as in the case of not repairing a bridge, or .ommitting a nuisance ; so in questions concern ing right of property they were equally liable by ac tion of trover. Mr. G4RROW and Mr. BossNour,r on the other hand contended, that detinue which imp!ied no wrong, might, perhaps, be maintained against a cor. porate body, who were not liable to actions, on the ! case of nen.defearance, but not of toil for lois. defeazance. A Corporation could not be guilty of a miS.feazance, so as to be liable to an action. The tort mast be committed by the servants of the Cor. 1 poration, for the Corporation itself had no body, and if the act was done without their express autho rity, it would not be within the scope of their office, and the Corporation not bound by it. If done witisl their authority under seal, they, not being incorpo. rated to commit a wrong, the act would be voik; and not binding upon the absent Members ; and some cases were cited in order to, show, that in acts I of this nature, the Bank of England could not be sued in its corporate capacity. After some further arguments, to which Mr. Totorre replied, „__, Lord ELLEN2OUOUGH observed , that his orig inal ; inclination was against the objection, but conceiring it as a question of importance, the Court would look into the cases, and give judgment on a future day. At the sitting of the Court this morning, his Lordship, after adverting to the several cases cited on both sides, declared it to be the unanimous opinion of the Court, that an action of Trove; was main tainable against the Bank of England, as a corpo rate body in this case, and therefore the Rule to set aside the verdict was discharged. No ether cause of any Interest took place this day. COURT QF COMMON FLEA Zwitl. MAGID V. HOLD. In this case a Rule tad been obtained on the part of the Plaintiff, to show cause why the award of the arbitrators should notbe set aside, under the follow ing circumstances. The affidavit set forth, that a total debt of 2161. was owing to him by the Defen dant, 971. of which had been acknowledged and paid into,Court, and the remaioder, by mutual consent, was referred to be awarded! by arbitrators. Accord ing to the accounts which he had delivered to the ar bitrators, he was entitled to a small surplus of 21. 10s. dropping, pursuant to the award, the snm which, added with the others, made the total. lu stful of this, however, it appeared that they consi dered him liable to pay 221. above the money which he had paid into Court ; 131. of that sum was the ex. pences of the arbitration, so that on the whole he was charged with upwards of 71. beyond the authen tic documents by which the award was made. lie believed the error to have arisen from a misconcep tion on the part of the arbitrators, they having de ducted the sum from 2061. instead of 2 WI. . Against this Rule r. Sekjeant LENA showed cause, maintaining, that the Plaintiff had put in one soli tary affidavit, without the concurrence or assistance of any of the arbitrators, who were men most ready to acknowledge themselves misguided, if it had ap peared to them. Upon one affidavit, therefore, ho was conscious the Court would not interfere with the award.' Mr. Serjeont SaerllEan, iu support of the Rale, maintained, that the solitary af4darit coital*, n faierepresentatien, inasmuch as itiat one of the ar bitrators had put in an affidavit to question its Vera city. Mr. Justice Glass (late Attorney-Oeneral) per ceived no complaint made against the justice' of the arbitrators, therefore there was no reason shown to the Court for breaking in upon the award; he would venture to recommend the arbitrators to re-consider the whole, and report their opinion accordingly. With this opinion the Counsellors agreed. • • The Court then went into Sittinp at Nisi Prins.

Of his talent s as a Statesman we have no proof, for even that ac` of his political life which has pined him the greatest ciedit, viz. the support of Spain, was not so far exclusively his own, as to secure for him the praise it deserves; for it was net Mr. Perceval wee EA saw the necessity of aiding the Spanish Patriots is their efforts to obtain a good Government ; he and his servile &Whereas thought of nothing more thau restoring the ancient despotism with all its abuses; but lthe Marquis Wellesley, during his short residence as Ambassador in Spain, saw (and whether he re. ',rived to see it or not 1 cannot tell); but he saw that the cause of despotism was gone for ever, and, therefore, he returned to Englaud, fully impressed with the necessity of culling together the Cortes auf aiding the people in their efforts to gain internal liberty, as well as eaten:el independence. In at tempting to impress this idea on the Cabinet Coun. cil, he was thwarted ausi opposed by Mr. Percent and his miuions, and for many weeks he stood sin. gle in this opinion; Mit by dint of perseverance, and the force of Ms eloquence, he finally, prevailed in obtaining the support of the. British Cabinet to the SPrniWkslt Cortea;• het it was only in semblance NIA not in reality, for Air. , Percevat was noted for ever after to be (*Glad its his seal for the Spriish cause; and when Lord Vrelfiltsgton lately demand ed a reinforcement, after thei - sile of liadajoi, he was coldly answered, that there was tree nothing to fear for Spoil'.

From these, and various other considerations, I have no hesitation its saying, that, as a politician, he was weak and pitiful and, as au orator, it is , easy to form a correct idea-of his talents by a reference •to his speeches. In these there will be found no glow of eloquence—no ardour of et. Pression—sno " thoughts that breathe, and words that burn ;" there was nothing to be found but cap tions argument, legal subtleties, and personal recri mination; he well knew how to irritate his ad. 1 versary, but not how to oppress or how to con. yea him ; he had neither the majestic energy of Pitt, nor the argumentative force of Lord Holland; its ideas and in language he was cold•and tame. his only warmth was to be found in his temper, not in his el politics: for arts and literature he bed no esteem ; he wither wereoqu e mi nc u e aliy hi a s ;t v n ie a w rr s o o w f a r l l , ie is on ge a n n e d ra i l isternal policy courted nor fostered them, and if they flourished un der h hi Lwts.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AT Arte.r.Tos.---Mr. Bur rows is doing well, and is considered out of clanger, but Bowler is not vet apprehended. The statement of some slugs having been extracted from the neck of the wounded man, does not turn out to be quite correct; for although Mr. B. was wounded there, the charge had not lodged. One slug, hnuever, as before waled, has lodged in the back, about the bladebone, which is not considered dangerous. lie is in good spirits, and has but little fever. An ex traordinary circumstance occurred on Sunday .-- About two o'clock a man brought the horse home which Bowler rode off with, and on enquiry it ea , 'found to be the Beadle at Harrow. It appered that Bowler had given a man a one-pound note to :take the horse to a schoolmaster, at Harrow, with a fetter; but after the delivery of the horse, he lost 'lto time in making his departure, so that that circum stance gave no clue te- Bowler's retreat. Great hopes are entertained of his speedy apprehension, .at an officer was within half an hour of hint on bait day, in the neighbourhood of Aylesbury.
