Wore Nye LORD CnIET JUSTICE and a Special flay.] GALLOWAY V. aositison AND MILL!. This was a Special Jury case, but only three Special Jurors being In attendance. a tales was prayed, and the others of the Jury were made up from the Common Jury list. Ile. Currre opened the pleadings, and stated, this was an action for the price of work done by the plaintiff, for the defendants. Mr. flaritionatz stated. that 'tie. Galloway was an eminent engineer, residing in Smithfield, the defendant, who lived in Bun hill-mw, were manufacturers of sundry fancy articles ; and bad ordered from the plaintiff • steam engine, which they slid they , did riot want for a longer period than twelve months; and they, therefore, revired it on very low terms. An agreement was made f 0 the machine, at 3001. and it was to he ready on the _nth July, .1324. It was a condensing engine of three horse power ; an.l when made, it was as reflect a machine as had ever been made in any manufactory. To say, that Alr. Galloway could not make a steam engine land he understood some such defence was to be set up) wag fis say, that Mr. Harrison could not make a time-piece, or that his Lordship was unable to try a cause. They afterwards added the driving apparatus, at 1301. which was still in use. The defendants, it appeared, were perfectly satisfied with Mr. Galloway, until a Mr. Topham interfered, and pointed out to them that • three-hem power engine was greater than they required. A watchmaker, a neighbour of the defendants, had objected to the use of the-engine, on the ground that it made the part .wall quiver, although a cart passing along the street would produce the same erect. They aubnequently get a two-horse power engine, which certainly did not make the wall vibrate, because the power was to much less. The defendant then wished to avoid paying Mr. Gal loway, and proposed a meeting of two engineers of their choosing with two of his. The plaintiff had no objection to this, but then the notice came from the defendants too late for him to camply with it. It was Impossible for any engineer to say whether or riot the engine wculd work well until it hail been tried.. it might, however, be easily put out of order. If moved the 90th part of a ban, the most perfect engine was the most easily injured. They had afterwards called in other engineers ; but in the mean time they had injured it by their mismanagement.. )1 suggestion was here made by the Lord Chief Justice, that she muse might be settled out of Court. This was refused on the part of the defendants. Mr. 81101104144111 then proceeded to say, that there was no one to °pm:am Mr. Galloway, but • professor, who knew nothing of • practical engines. The engine in question was so perfect, that it made more strokes in • given time than it was calculated to do. They had kept the driving machinery of Sir. Galloway, and he Wald rot understand how they had the face to defend the action. The agreement botween the parties was then put in and reed. Mr. John Galloway, son of the plaintiff, proved the agreement between his father and the defendants, and the nature of the engine required by them. Mr. Galloway, on visiting the premiras, aug. gated the node of putting it up. Mr. Mills afterwards objected' eosins mode, and the engine was put up on his own plan, Mr. Mills thus taking the responsibility on himself. A well and a re servoir were then sunk. The reservoir was for the receptinr: or the candersed steam, and tt was so close to the well, that the warm meter il-aineel into the well, and prevented the cold water from pro.

Ile should prove in evidence that the engine was rot in a state tit to be used immediately alter its being up. He was aware that the objertion as to time had been waved, the defendant' having been dextrous to give air. Galloway every opportunity to perfect his work ; and this was one proof that they had no alai to , get rid of the machine. Ott the fith of July, finding that the en gine would not work, the defendant, sent for Mr. Dunkin and Mr. Lloyd to inspect it; and two more able or more honourable men in their profession it would be impossible to find. They raid it was defective. and pointed out their objections to Mr. Gallowav, who undertook to make the required al•erations. The defendama thus allowed the olatntiff time to remedy all defects. The plaintiff then undertook to complete the work by she 17th of July., and he made over and oven again several alterations in it. Ott the 3d of August the engineers * * ado saw the engine, and declared it to be as !miter. feet as it was before, so touch no that it would not do any work. His clients had tot touched the engine until this period, and con sequently a great loss had been sitatained by them. The defendants had given notice to the plaintif to remove and take back the en gine, but he had refused so to do. Under those circumstances he WAS satisfied that the Jury would return a verdict for his clients, notwithstanding the confidence expressed by his Learned Brother (Mr. Brougham). FOR THE DEFENCE. Mr. Bryan Donkin examined by Mr. SC•RLITT.—I am an en. gineer ; I attended at the defendants' on the 6th July, in company with Mr. Lloyd. Mr. Galloway was there. I found several parts of the engine defective. 1 found the steam cylinder was not parallel, the steer(' escaping at one end and not at the other ; the piston rods worked very touch out ; the steam slides worked badly, and al. lowed steam to pass; the water-way was too small. The engine was not in a state tit for use on the fith July ; but it could have been altered so as to have been made use of ; the steam cylinder must have been taken out and rebored. I inaveyed the engine again on the 3d of the following August ; Mr. Lloyd was then with me; Profeesor Millington was present. The engine WAS not then complee ; the parallel motion was as much out of adjostmeut as when first 1 saw it. The cylinder and the slides appeared not to have been altered ; the rinks are most essential. The stuffing box of the air pump permitted both air and water to pats. Iti con sequerce of the vibration of the frame, I was led to examine the cause of it, and I found a want of parallel between the rotatory shaft and the working beam. We supposed that to be the cause of the vibratory motion of the machine. We came to the same con_ ! elusion as we did before, and in my opinion the engine on the 3d of August was not tit for use. I do not apprehend the engine would have stopped, but it would have worked to great disadvan. age, and not up to the full power. When the engine was subse quently takes down, 1 examined it, and found that some of the parts were not well put together. Cross-examined by Mr. )laouniiiim-1 never, myself, made a compleresteam-engine. Alt. Galloway won rot present on the 13d of /Unmet when I examined the machine. I was once intimate with Mr. Galloway, tat have had very little intercourse with him 'of late. I say the parallel motion was out of adjustment, but that adjustmeet could be easily put out; the loss of a single screw would he sufficient to do this ; or the alteration of any of the keys would do it in • moment. It might be re-adjes:Al almost in as short a time. I obverted t! bolls of the governor in the second in vestigation, they were not oi.t of order. The defer in the piston rod was the consequence of the want of adjustment of the parallel mo tion. That want of paealieliani could be easily caused, and as easily adjusted. The piston rod goes through the stufliog ball and thus works. This ball could be easily and at small 'expense adjusted. so as to make it air and water tight. The gover. or was intended to :newer a particular purpose in the engine, which purpoee,.with such a governor, could not be answered. The expense oh repining it would be twenty shillings. In March last, I measured the cylinder roughly, to ascertain whether or not it wanted parallelism ; one diameter ems nearly the Ifith elan inch larger than the other. It was rusty when I saw its I did rot ascertain the temperature of the well ; Loot. in my opinion, thot temtierature could not have oc casioned a degree of heat su high as 120 degrees. I done: know the nature of the rigitic [since procured by M:.. Wells. I do not know that it cost las than the one he was to have purchased front Alr. Galloway. Mr. Lloyd examined by Mr. COM rat.—l have been for thirty years an engineer. I examined the engine in question with Mr. Donkin on the 6 h July. It appeared to me to be very imperfect, and that imperfection went nearly through the whole of it. The witness then corroborated the testimony of Mr. Dunkin as to the investigation of the engine on the 6th of July, and also on the 3d of August. Cross-examined—l agree with Mr. Donkin in the answets given by him en bin cross.examinmion. Mr. Field, partner in the house of Manseley and Co., engineers, examined by the ATTonxEr-GErtr.nai...--1 am accustomed to examine steam-engines. I examined the engine in question when' it was taken down, and it was very defective. The most glaring' defect war in the slide valve, which in one of the most important parts of the engine. The consequence of this defect war to waste the steam, and to neutralize itr effect on the piston ; by neutralizing I mean destroying. I have been acquainted with steam-engines for nearly twenty years. Therz were other defers in the engine, but this was the greatest. The condneting pipe from the cylinder into the condenser was too small ; this defect would show itself by the condensed water becoming too hot. I should imagine the tempe rature to be therefore 120 degrees. Ily degrees the temperature might reach In the heat of boiling water, and then it could condenre no longer. The ordinary temperature of water in the well is about 60. 1 met some engineers from 31r. Galloway at the inspection of the engine. Cana-exami:-...d-11e did Oot knew that those engineers belonged to Mr. Galloway, but he had reason to believe they did. The con deLsa.ron water ahould not have been 120 degrees ; it is generally 113. I should not think an engine in a gond state when it was so high as 105. I never saw the engine at work. The engine might have been altered so Dr to prevent the circulation of the seam, for 2W. I allude to the defect in the slider. I knew Mr. Galloway formerlr, but do not know him now. Ile once passe] an unfavour able cptnion on a work of mine; it was on a steam-boat, and 31r. Galloway was then Chairman of the Engineer Company. Re-examined—he did rot know what that unfavourable opinion war, and never could find out. Mr. Topham. an engineer. examined—Snw the engine in ques tion in June, 1024. The engine was not at that period capable or being used for a long time together. Cross-examined—Mr. Mills came to witness's manufactory in the month of June, ■nd wanted an engine soon. Mr. Mills then said if he could get an engine limn witness he would return Mr. Galloway's. 'Witness recommended him to send for Mr. Galloway first, enui endeavour to get the engine altered. Mr. Mills said he wanted an engine to go quietly, because the one he had annoyed his neighbour the watchmaker. Alexander Macdonald 11 in the employ of Messrs. Mills and Robinson. On the 14th May the engine would not work, because water enough could not be got Boot the pump• Mr. Galloway then took away the pump, and made another. The engine then some times worked for 20 minutes, and then got so hot that it would not go any longer. Complaints were made to Mr. Galloway, and hit workmen came from time to time to make alterations. la August Mr. Donkin and Mr. Lloyd examined the engine. He had worked the engine before Mr. Donkin came, but could not make any oxen' . it after the workmen of Mr. Galloway had taken away their tools. Mr. Mills snit Mr. Robinson nevcr could use it. Witness had been accustomed to steam-engines all his life. The engine was taken down shoot a month after the second visit of the engineers, :Nears. Donkin and Lloyd. George Serie was examined to prove that he served Mr. Galloway with a notice from Messrs. Mills and Robinson to take back the engine after it had b•-en condemned by the engineers, Messrs. Don. kin and Lloyd. (The notice enclosed a copy of their Report.) Mr. Raoul:fluor, in reply, said that the engine had been ex. rinsed to the a•vereat scrutiny of very efficient persons: one of whom had been formerly a friend of Mr. Galloway, but was so no longer: and anot':er, whose work had been at one time condemned by Mr. Galloway, now came forward in return to condemn his. But, after all this pitiless pelting, the case stood exactly on the same footing as it did when he placed it in the hands of the Jury, and nothing was left for him to do but to remind them of the sort of attempt that had been made to get rid of a fair and just bargain, and of the motives which had led to that attempt. The Jury would recollect how ensy a matter it was for any person, and how much more such a person as Alexander Macdonald, to put out of order any steam.engine. flow the defects arose he could not possibly say, but it was evident that the objections to the engine arose fiom cavilling in order to get rid of the payment for this three-horse. power et give, and to get one of a two-horse-power, which would have answered equally well. . - The Loon evigr Jusrfcr, in summing up the evidence, stated, that the question for the Jury to inquire into was, whether on the 24th July, 1824, when Mr. Galloway took off his workmen from the engine, that engine was in a state tit to be worked and to perform lie duties. If such were the opinion of the Jury, a verdic must be found for the plaintiff: but if they entertained a contrary opinion, they would of course find for the defendants. The JIITv mired to deliberate on their verdict, and, after having been ab.ect for about an hour, returned with a verdict for the plain nif—Damages 3001. in addition to the 1001. already received. A most diabolical murder was committed at Nottingham, on Saturday setinight, about eleven o'clock. A female of the name of klary Austin, a married woman, and who had resided at Leicester with her husband, by whom she had two children, in consequence of some disagreement, left him some time ago, and went to Nottingham, where she took lodging,' on the river Beek side, opposite Snow.hill ; in an adjoining apartment lived one Thomas Dewey. a framework-knitter, together with bin wife. It' RI.:111‘ that a criminal connexion took place betwixt Dewey and Mary Austin; site had one child by him, and wan pregnant of another. Ore of het sons, by her husband, wan apprenticed at Nottingham, but absconding from his master, lie was taken and lodged in the Howe of Correction ; thin eirtnnistance induced' Austin to go in Leicester, in order to prevail with her honhonil to return to Nottingham to effect the lad's liberation, which he did, and they both travelled by the Leicester coach on Saturday evcn lug. '1 he unfortunate woman went nhortly after to her lodgings, where she mer with Dewey, who shook her by the hand, gave her a kiss, and int. • - - - ' • • • POLICE. INTERESTING POVERTY. MaxstoN Ilottax.—A young man front Edinburgh, together with his wife and child, was brought before the Loan MAYOR, charged by Mr. Duncan Campbell, the owner of the Kink's (lead public-house, Tower -street, with having obtained lodging, &c. to the amount of 10a. without being able to pay a farthing. The defendant had on a frock coat which was moat fantastically braided in the front, a Highland closk, a pasteboard cap, and he held in his hand a little worst-basket, which he acknowledged eon- rained his own, his wife's, and his child's wardrobe, to the very ut most article. The complainant's atitement was to the following effect :—He I had been frequently cheated by well-dressed persons, who ate, and !drank, and slept in his house, and who went out early in the morn ing on pretence of getting money or a cheek. Ile was therefore on his pied, and resolved, for the benefit of the body of which he was a member. to bring the first defaulter he found before the Lord Mayor. The defendant, on Saturday, accompanied by his wife and child, entered the house, called for some rum and water, and a bed, upon being asked to pay for which, he said rather haughtily he would settle the reckoning next morning. The next morning ar rived without enabling the defendant to pay. He went out without leaving any money with his poor wife, who had the child at her breast, and returned at night with as little ammunition. Theland lady, however, finding that neither wife nor child was supplied with the means of existence, sent up some meat and porter, and insisted that it should be used. Monday morning came, and the defendant, who had ten shillings to pay, was walking nut without settling the account, when the landlord, who apprehended that he was about to be burdened with the wife and child by the desertion' of the father. called to a constable, and had the whole family con- 1 ducted before the Lord Mayer. His Lordship very soon perceived that however strong appear -I totem might be against the poor Scotchman, there was no ground fur supposing that he was experienced in the art of swindling. He had, he said, a small annuity, upon which he and his wife had lived in France, but as that country was now as expensive as any other, he found it necessary to leave it, and came to London with the view of making his way to Scotland, for which purpose he had called upon a brother naval officer to borrow the means, as lie was without a farthing in the world. He was disappointed, his friend being out of town, and was therefore unable to pay his land lord ; but he had lived as economically as nature would permit, and he hoped to be able to borrow the amount of the bill, which he should pay with thank* His grandfather was., he said, Comptrollnr of a very high office in Edinburgh, but the distance prevented im mediate relief.. .He had offered his cloak in payment of the bill ; it wu worth twice as Much, but the landlord refused to take it. 3lr. Campbell WA his object was to ascertain whether lie tea s ;dealing with a swindler t as to the amount of the bill, he thought ' nothing of it ins cite of distress. The Loan Maroa. asked several questions, the answers to which convinced him that the nnfortunate defendant and his family were real objects of charity. His Lordship then inquired of the Scotehman ;rite he wore so fashionable and extreordit ary a coat? Ile replied that every one wore a coat ornamented in that manner in France. Upon turning round, however, to show that if was rot exactly such a one as a man who was able to pay his bill would be likely to wear, lie exhibited a deplorable contrast in the thread bare condition of the hack and skittle. The Loan Matroa—Mr. Duncan Campbell, you see that the defend an! is .4 dis re,seil man. Now lam sure you will have no objection to reduce his bill. Mr. Campbell—Reduce it, my Lord ! I don't want it. I'll not take a farthing of it. Defendant—l ant not able to pay you now, but I think I can borrow the money before I go away, and I'll pay you all as sure as I live. The LORD MAYOR said, the landlord was an ornament to his calling, and that his good feeling should be gratified by excusing his poor lodger one-half. his Lonnsiere insisted that the publican should talc:: from him self five shillings. 'Phu money wis very reluctantly received. His Lordship then handed over to the defendant, nut ails purse, as much money as will defray the whole of the expenses of the family ' to Edinburgh. The poor Scotehman received the money with astonishment. lie uttered not a word, but burst into tears.

Bow-svitvvv.—The Pim/roof Covent.gaetien have of late been much infested with pickpockets, particularly about the time the theatres close, and numerous petty robberies have been committed, the perpetrators of which have for the most part eluded pursuit by retreating into the market, among the convenient meanderings of which they are soon lost. One of these gents, of the name of Michael Breyer', was yeeeerday morning brought up on a charge of stealing a silk handkerchief from the person of Mr. Wilson. The prosecutor stated, that about twelve o'clock last night he was pass ing under the Piazzas, In his way to the Tavistock Hotel, where he hint present lodging, when a gentleman cane up to him with the prisoner in his costody, and tol.l him that he bed seen the prisoner take a handkerchief out of his pocket ; witness immediately put his hand to his pocket, and found his handkerchief was missing. Mr. Li...a, of Duke -street, Manchester-square, stated, that he saw the prisoner and another lad following close behind the prosecutor, and, from their suspicious appearance, was induced to watch them, and saw the prisoner pass his bandiinto the prosecutor's pocket, and take Out a handkerchief, which he passed to his companion, who ran off and evened through the market. Witness collared the pri. softer, and after apprising the prosecutor of his loss, lodged hint in the Pe stellhouse. Mr. HALLS sentenced the prisoner, as a reputed thief, to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, and hand labour. Flirts Thomas, a sturdy fellow bclongi tg to one of the coal , wharfs under the Adelphi, was brought up on the following charge of assault:—The complainant, a waterrnan ' stated, that late on Monday evening, as he was passing with his sister along the Strand, the prisoner and two others, &H of whoin were drunk, push. ed up against him, and nearly knocked hint down. He remonatra led, and was answered with a blow, which, however, he admitted he' returned with interest, and a battle royal ensued, which was termi nated by the interference of his sister, whose pacific intentions, how ever, were rewarded by having her bonnet torn to pieces. At this juncture the watchman came up. and the prisoner was marched to the watchhouse. The prisoner had nothing to say in his defence, but as the complainant was only anxious to have compensation for the damaged bonnet, the parties were permitted to retire. Sir R. Bewserg at the time telling him that he had better reduce his habit ual allowance of nine pots of beer per diem to seven, or they would before long be hearing of his exploits again. DESPERATE AFFRAY AT PADDINGTON. MAR Y.T.A-BON WE OFFICE —I eiterday WM. Field, John Preach. and Alexander Dobie, were brought before Wes. Bos uns, Est. charged with being concerned in a dreadful riot in the Junction-held, Paddington. Francis lliadbury, watchhouse-keeper of Paddington, deposed, I that on ,Monday last, between six and seven o'clock in the evening,' Peter Holt, one of the day patrol, came to him and requested that he would procure some assistance to stop a light that was taking place in the Junction fields. He (Holt) told hint that he had, with I t h e assistance of a man named Weeded, broke the ring mice, but being overpowered. were obliged to retreat, after being unmercifully heat. Witness immediately repaired with four assistants to the field, where at least three or four thousand were assembled, and a regular ring formed, which he instantly broke into, and seized the ' prisoner noble, who had his coat off, and a watch in his hand, as if lie were acting as time keeper, and was taking him to the watch. house, when he and the rest of his party were assailed with a vol ley of missiles and cow dung, and every desperate attempt atfiescue was resorted to. The prisoner Dobie made not the least resistance, nor did lie attend to the advice of the mob, though called on to lay down. The fury of the mob increased as they reared the canal, to which they had to pass through a brick-field; and no sooner could they provide themselves with the broken pieces of brick than they commenced a tremendous attack on witness : one of the pieces of brick struck the prisoner Dobie, which felled hint to the ground. Witness lifted him up, and received several blows on the bark and arms ; and Holt, on attempting to keep the I mob back, received two tremendous blows on the head, which laid' hint senseless, and he remains at present with little hopes or recovery. The prisoners Field and French he observed very Retire in exciting the mob forward, and the shouts of " 3lurder them," resounded from ail quarters. The prisoner French mode a desperate toilsome; and struck the witness several times before he could be secured. 31r. HPSIPIIRIES, who attended fur Dobie, asked if witness was certain that Dobie was really acting as time keeper. Witness replied he could not positively swear that ; he saw him with a watch in his hand. Witness further stated that on his en tering the ring a bottle was thrown, which he believes must have come from one of the seconds. Mr. Pitman, Vestry Clerk of Paddington, asked Dobie if be knew the names of the parties actually en gage d ? The prisoner said yea—one of the combatants was named the " Fighting Cobler," and one of the seconds was Ned Stockman. The prisoner Dobie, owing to his sufferings, was 'Mowed to go, on the promise to attend on Friday next, and French and Field were ordered to be detained until the fate of link should be known. The Overseers of Paddington, accompanied by several of the Vestry, attended, and produced a lint of names they had been ena bled to collect, against whom warrants were immediately granted, the parish being determined to punish every person who had taken a part in this most disgraceful outrage. DETENTION OF WORK.

Thelast time lie went, he'saw the defend tot busily at work ; and was told by him he was employed by another house, and belonged to a Society that would not permit his finishing the complainant's work. The defendant pleaded illness, and that he was never at home when the messages were sent, with the exception of the last time. Alderman .1..1. SMITH said his appearance belied his assertion of illness. and that It rested with Mr. Dawson to enforce the pro visions of the Act or otherwise. Mr. Dstwson, continuing in the conviction of the necessity for pressing the case, the defendant was sentenced to the mitigated pnnishment of 'one week's hard labour at Brixton Gaol, the ektent belt g one month. CAUTION TO PORK EATERS. Uwww-listr..—Yesterday Hall. the chief officer of this esta blishment. informed the sitting Magistrate that a mad dog found his way on Monday afternoon into the back premises of • pork butcher at Wandsworth, where he attacked and bit six pigs and a quantity of ducks. Their owner, too, in attempting to protect the pigs, was bitten by the rabbid animal in the arm and legs. Having had his wounds cauterised, and the dog having been shot by a man in the employ of Mr. Cade. carpenter, whose yard adjoins that of the pork-butcher, the latter found leisure to calculate the profit and loss consequences of his good fortune, when he determined upon making the utmost of his porkers at the expense of the Christian community. The six pigs were therefore killed on Monday night, and sent to a salesman in Leadenliall-market„ and are by this time, in all probability, in the larders of his Majesty's liege subjects. Mr. CHAMBERS-1 don't suppose those who eat this pork will gn mad in consequence. Ilall—Perhaps not, Sir; but I won't eat pork for a month to ! come, at all events. AI r. Cu/outs:as—l have no jurisdiction in the city—perhaps you had !niter apply to the Lord Illayor, at the Mansiamhouse. Hall did not feel called upon to proceed further in the matter. He had mentioned the circumstance, because Gale, the beadle of St. SIIVIOIIeP, had been sent to him by one of the overseers to in. form him of the fact. AI r. CtrAmnrns commended Hall for making the communica tion, and the affair wan allowed to drop. -- --- DEATH BY FIGHTING. CURIOUS DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AMONG JURORS. Yesterday, at two o'clock, an inquest was held before THOMAS ST I It LING, Esq. Coroner, and a most respectable J urv, at the Red Lior.. Finchley, to inquire into the death of John Platt, who was killed in a pitched battle by a man named Thos. Lennard Jordan. 11r. John Edward Stacey deposed, he is a surgeon, and attended the deceased, who he had heard had been fighting a pitched bat tle; he examined him, and found his abdomen much injured and inflamed internally, that caused his death. The inflammation, in witness's opinion. was occasioned by violent blows on the body. 11r. John Thorn, of East End. gardener. deposed. that on ' Saturday evening ;hat, he was in the Five Bells public-house, Finchley ; the deceased and Lennard Jordan were playing at bowls. he latter won the game, and the deceased refused to pay, and became very abusive ; Jordan sat down next his wire ; the deceased came towards him, and used very violent language, and challenged hint to fight. Jordan refused very positively, and the deceased still making use of the foulest expressions, struck him twice, and repeated the challenge, offering to fight for money. Jordan still persevered in his refusal, until the deceased called his wife a w—.. and struck her. Jordan started up on this, and said, " you may abuse, insult, and strike tne, but you shall not abuse or strike my wife, so I will fight thee." The landlord would not allow them to fight there, and they agreed to fight elsewhere. and accordingly met, attended by their seconds and friends in a field in the neighbour hood. The deceased was a much taller, heavier, and stronger man than Jordan, and was a much better tighter. They knight for a considerabletime. and the deceased gave in at length, and com plained of Ilia body. He died some time after. The deceased was sober. Mr. Hall, foreman of the jury, asked the sitness if, under all the circumstances, any person, who had the least claim to manhood, after being repeatedly struck, could have resisted the provocation offered by the deceased ? The jurors answered, they considered not. Mr. Field, another Juror, said. that was not what they were to consider, they were bound by their oath to put down such " effer vescencea" of feeling, and in every case of the kind to send the parties Inc trial. Sir,here is a man sitting quietly down, is he to be struck, and to sit calmly and hear his wife called the vilest names than can be applied to woman ? Mr. Field contended that did not signify a jot, and put it to the jury whether the public were to be subjected to the exhibitions of prize fights almost daily; that disgusting and disgraceful practice was again gaining ground, and it behoved the jury to send the MP fur trial, to show that no prosecution could justify such illegal acts. The CORONER said, however reprehensible and illegal pitched battles weve yet he really considered in this case, no other verdict than that oeJustiFable Homicide ought to be returned ; it could not be exrected that people should be so very puritanical, as to sit down quietly and suffer their heads to be knocked about, and their sires abused in the vilest language. If a man was driven by such ruffianly conduct to the necessity of fighting, and his aggressor died, it was very hard, under such circumstances, that be should be punished, and the law, fully aware of such cases, had made a proper distinctity% r Mr. Field still argued they were bound to make an example of the man. Upon this, a very long and warm conversation arose; ,and atter a great deal of clamour, all the Jurors held themselves oppnaed In that gentleman's position ; but agreed generally in the necessity there was for indicting the others for a riot. The seconds were then railed in and received a severe reprimand. and the Jury having viewed the body, returned a vertliet—" That the diveased died of inflammation of the bowels, caused by the blows received in a light, from Thomas Leonard Jordan, while standing in his own defence. CORONER'S INQUEST. An inquisition was held on Monday evening, before JOHN CARTER. Eq.• Coroner for the county of Surrey, at the Ship and Sun, ‘Valworth, St. Mary Newington, on the body of Sydney Walsh. 23 years of age. Edward Smith deposed that he resides at No. 11, East-street, Walwnrth. The deceased had lodged with him nearly two years. On Friday morning, between semi and eight o'clock, he heard a noise, which his wife said was the report of a pistol; he instantly rushed up stairs, followed by his wife. On entering the deceased's apartment he found him lying on his back in bed, and bleeding at his breast. Witness left his wile in care of the deceased, and ran for medical assistance. By the time he returned borne he found Mr. swift, the,surgeon, in attendance. NVitnes.s had observed for the last three weeks a great alteration in his behaviour; he seemed to avoid society, and more particularly so within the last few days, that he communicated his observations to his wife. Previous to that time the deceased possessed a cheerful disposition and a highly cultivated mind. Deceased's brother slept in the same room with him, and had only left it a few minutes before the tircumstance occurred. Wit ness has since understood the alteration in the appearance of the deceased had proceeded front being rejected by a young woman to whom he was paying his addresses. {Witness has no doubt the deceased was of unsound mind fur some days previous to commit ting the dreadful act. Mr. John Swift, of East-street, surgeon, stated, that he was sent for on Friday morning to attend the deceased ' • he went immedi ately ; the deceased was lying on his back in bed. On examining the body he discovered a pistol shot wound in the centre of the chest; he probed the wound. but found it impracticable to extract the ball, which had entered the cavity of the chest. He appeared quite sensible, but in a fainting state. {Witness rerceived a small nfle pistol on a bench under tit,: window, which had been removed (Tom off the bed by Mrs. Smith, the landlady, previous to his ar rival. Witness, after lie had dresse'l the wound, begged of the deceased to disclose to Sim the cause of committing the rash act ; he pointed to his coat, where, in one of the pockets, he found • letter addressed to him from 3liss Lucy Keep ( which was read to the Jury). It stated. that she hail taken an unaccountable dislike to him, and was positively determi n ed to b rea k off all further in tercourse, as she could not accept him for a husband ; that she! had endeavoured to love him but could not ; at the same time re. commending him to look out for another young woman, and not to give himself up to foolish despondency. I.hceased lived 36 hours after the fatal catastrophe in great agony, which he bore with ex traordiaary fortitude. {Witness had since his decease opened the body ; two of the ribs were broken, and the bullet had lodged be tween the ribs and the lungs. On the Wednesday previous de ceased called upon him, complaining of excessive pain in the bead; his health appeared to be generally disordered. On that oc casion witness te‘ok about six ounces of blood from him, and sent him some medicine, intending to call upon him op the day he committed the deed. {Witness is of opinion the deceased was de ranged in his mind. The Jury were perfectly satisfied from the evidence they had heard, and unanimously returned a verdict—" That the deceased shot himself in a state of temporary derangement."

[From the London New Priec Current, July 12.] _____ COTTON.-There has been a complete stagnation in the Cotton market ; no purchases are reported during the last week. The let ters from Liverpool, dated late on Saturday night, say, 3,000 bales of Cotton were sold on that day ; the prices id. to ft!. per lb. higher than on the opening of the market in the morning. By accounts from Illancliceter the market opened yesterday with animation. These accounts have little effect here ; no purchases whatever are ' reported either last night or this forenoon. COFFEE.-The public sales last week were rather extensive ; Foreign and the ordinary descriptions of British Plantation Coffee were a aliada lower, all other qualities were unvaried, but the market was uncommonly heavy c St. Domingo, in large parcels, taken in at 61s. and 625. Cl., good Cherilion sold at Gds. and 65e. There were no public sales of Coffee this forenoon, and the only purchase by private contract reported is a considerable parcel of fair quality St. Domingo taken on speculation at file. ; the quotation for Si. Domingo is now els. a 625. all the other descriptions of Coffee are unvaried ; the tatirket is heavy, but the holders generally do not appear inclined to force sales at any reduction. SUGAR -The new Sugars which hove appeared at market here !sold freely at very full prices : towards the close of last week the show became very limited, and, as the easterly winds have lately prevailed, it was ani.cipated the supply for the next two wean I would not be adequate to the immediate wants of the trade : under these circumstances, the few sales reported were at prices 6d. a Is. higher than at the commencement of the week, and the tuirket closed with the appearance of great firmness; low brown Jamaica* 645., St. Lucia and other browns 625. to 635. The show of Sugats to-day is again inconsiderable: the purchases are not on an eaten sive scale, and there is no alteration in the currency since Friday the market mny be stated Cal. to le. per cwt. higher than on this day week. By public sale this forenoon, 172 finds. Barbadoes off et Sugar went t full prices, 665. Gd. a 725. At the conclusion of the market cur Mummies this day, we think the prices are again a shade higher than last week ; one house sold above 400 hhds , but the sales are not general er brick. In the Refined market there was no briskness last week ; low Lumps could, in some Instances, be purchased a shade under 87s. ; fine goods were in request for the home consumption of the country : Molasses were brisk at 27a. Sid. The Relined market is rather heavy to-day ; there have been sales of low Lumps about 86s. and 86s. Gd., and for money even below these prices; fine goods are still in demand by the wholesale grocers: Molasses are again higher, buyers at 28s. By public sale last week, 1361 chests Havannah Sugars were brought forward ; an uncommon tine parcel, but a small proportion sold; brown was taken in at 37c.

RICE.-Ily public sale on Friday, 862 bags East India Rice, common Bengal, 16s. 6d. and 175.; fine Patna 234. FRUIT.-There is very little business doing, the demand for the home trade being very limited at this period of the year, at:d the few orders for export remaining; unexecuted. HOPS.-All idea of a Hop crop this season appears now to he abandoned; the duty has fallen to 10,0001.; the accounts from the II op districts are most deplorable; a few sttong shoots still continue to grow, but the great proportion have now turned black, and the leaves dropping off. The prices advance with great rapidity, and the market in a very unsettled state; 141., 161., and up to till. paid for good parcels, and many of the holders will not sell at the present prices. OILS.-There is no alterarion in Fish Oil, except in Sperm, which is 20s. a 365. per ton higher, on account of the few arrivals.- Olive Oils are dull, and have fallen nearly the whole of the reduc tion of duty. Seed Oils unveiled. II E M P, FLAX, and TA L LOW.-Tallow is without variation, 355. 6tl. a 365.-Ilemp is quoted at the new ditty, which is 41. 10s. per ton lower than the former; the price is now 121/. to 4W. rather brisk.-In Flax there is no material alteration.-Tallow for deli_! very, shipment .l my and August, 11125, 35e. 6d. a 36a. ; for the last three months delivery 365. a 365. 6d. ; free on board 295.-Hemp, in bond. 311. 10s. a 32/. INDIGO-Tile quotations are entirely nominal on account of the India house sale this morning. The( day's sale went off Is. lid, a 2s. per lb. lower titan the last sale (in April) ; the preprie tors have bought in about half of this day's sale ; as to appearance, they will ellow nn Indigo to go below the reduction we have stated, about 2s. per lb. lower than in April. TOBACCO.-The prices of Tobrcco have again advanced about id. per lb. since this day week, and there is still a diapesition to do business, but very few parcels offer, and the most ordinary Virginia,' cannot he purchased under 4id. and we should think only small lots at that rate. We have see,, a very correct estimate of the quantity changing hands within the last ten days, and the prices; within that time 2,500 hhds. have changed hands, at the advance of id. a Id. per lb.; since Friday, however, there has not been much business doing, owing to the few parcels which are on sale. Rir3l, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.—The Rum market it very firm, but the sales reported are not exten.ive; the bit} ers Y purchaairg for their immediate wants, and the Rectifiers being little at market, on account of the very tine weather, and the pro spect of an abundant harvest, which will now regulate the Rum market more than at any former period; the proof Geewards are 10t1.;tinder proofs Is. 3cl. ; fine Jamaicas are still inquired after for home consumption, and for some parcels of fine 3s. 3d. has been paid, and for 30 over 34.
