1 ~~ ~~ ~~ f - Shen mused from his bed at thc`tlead of night, many of the I inhabitants of Barbados owed their safety, and the colony itself =as than its existence. On the night of that memorable din , his gallant friend, if called upon, could have given the banes* narrative of the insurrection. In fact, the Government paned It elitist unnoticed . they had in their possession the des . patches of that excellent and able man who was Goveroar of that colony, and in which he distinctly traced Ihe causes of thy issue.' section to the operation of the Registry Act But if more proofs of that were necessary, he would appeal to anilon. Friend, who drew up a digest of the cue, which exactly agreed with the opinion of the Governor as to the main cause of the insurrection. But more than all that, there was no contradictory declaration from any of the ne- Krnes nay, they all united in saying that they were without coin- plaint or grievance . • that their comforts were attended to, and ! their wants provided for ; and that they were led into that insorrec lion in consequence of the measures . pursued in this country. What was the consequence of thus allowing statements toga before - the public, the recent events at Demerara would best answer? Ile meant no disrespect to his 31aiesty's !Ministers, nor co any other )lembers of Parliament ; but he must say, on the night to which be alluded the West India Planters were not befriended. Had one word been said when those statements of which be complained were uttered in the House of Commons—had 'one friendly word fallen from even one of his Majesty's Ministers. the calumnies would have been repelled immediately on their being uttered, for that was the only time when they could be so with becoming end /emissary effect. If the despatches of the Governor had been then ramrod to, the facts of the ever would have beat elucidated ; such a conduct would have been kind and generous—aye, and just I may say too ; and it would also have been easily proved, that a continued course of interference was attended with a degree of dan ger which required some speedy cheek. florin the subject of that debate he drew another important deduction ; namely, that the West India Cody were then either too temperate or too supine. No Sent we. th - in made to contend for the principle now stated in our petition, that if our property were violated we hail a right to proper v 4 "vfeni'lithn. It would have now been matter of importance to this meeting, if they could hare looked back to some claim of this na:ure—i f they could look back to statements of their distress be ing then matle—of distress to individuals which they could never retrieve--of the ruin of whole fortunes, of which, perhaps, not a *tech would soon remain. If these statements had been then made, a sort of precedent would have been estatlished in their fa. sour, whether the principle for which they contended were recog nised or denied. The proceedings in this country led to the news at Barbadoes, and there was a most striking coincidence between the causes of that insurrection and those which had recently ope rated in Demerara. In the tragedy enacted at Demerara, the m gr.*, made no complaints of their roosters ; the unhappy sufferers urged no grievance against their employers ; like their figlow4a homers aa Barbadoes, they were quiet and contented; but In fact, the results, in both these places, must flash conviction on all on. Prejudiced 'Weds. that' he atitemena of the negroes . hanishiPs was growl, exaggerated. Ile lITIPSAd that this meeting, as far as they coWld, would co-operate with their friends at Demerara, and assist thetai in the mover y of their looses t—it was our cause as well as thefts. It was not for hint at present to point out how that co operage's was to take place, but if they attended to the advice eaen by the worthy gentleman (31r. Palmer) for the pronto .l.m of union, energy, and perseverance. lie trusted they would succeed in forwarding the plea urged by the planter. at Demerara, more as a pan of the general body than with any minute attention tit particular or isolced views. He meant juat now to glance at the condition of the colonies hetweeen the periods of the insurrections at Barbadoesand Demerara. The impulse of th e insurrection at Barba. does, like as earthquake, vibrated in other places. After some efforts, rtowever, tranquillity was restored, but many persons who spoke of it knew nothing about the facts, or deluded themselves into a be lief which had no foundation. As between the black and the white people there was good feeling on one side, and confidence in the other, content prevailed ; and had it not been for the ebbing 71:t w e i lour financial system here, there was little to be &me m to danger from our colonies. With respect again to the qbestiOn of the moral improvement of the negroes, lie was pre. mu* to state, that, upon waiting a time, it would be found to have dtsa great advances, particularly in the island which he had now tFe pride and the honour to represent. The most groundless as •Wtintls had been put forth to the contrary ; but he could eonfi. deritly declare that the moral improvement of the people was at tended to—not perhaps so generally and so ardently as tome per oidomight wish; but certainly with means, if more slow, not the lige certain of reaching so useful an end. He would not wader take tO give any decided opinion upon the rapid extension of negro education; bat he had some muispvings that the good expected from it would not be realized. He wished to call the attention of the meeting to another topic, and he did so with considerable deli cacy—he wished that the Legislative Authorities of our West bathe Colonies should not be disregarded in this country. However, Whatever wan to be done, must be done in the spirit of conciliation. Out Colonies were formerly in a flourishing and happy condition ; but in consequence of interference from home, their condition was her changed. Insurrection supplied the place of content. and every successive account appals with terror, suspense, Mid dread, for the fate of the Colonies themselves—fur the uncer tainty of the tenure on which property hangs, and fur the diatolu. do n of all useful connexion between the British merchant and the West India planter. One great object of the present petition Wsio to restore tranquillity, which could only be done by retracing wome of those things which were already done. Here he felt that considerable caution should be used, in the expression of what them things should be, and he would therefore restrain himself, being convinced that to do so was the moat prudent policy be rcould adopt. Ile would not attempt to contrast the state of oar Colonial now with what they were before the spicisof intertwines. went abroad. for the doing so hs would consider to be a dereliction or the most sacred duty. He hoped the principle of compensation would be recognised ; but whether it were or not, it should never be lost - sight of, and the sooner it was unequivocally asserted the bet ter.. do opportunity would thereby be given of putting to the test the sincerity of those penons who said that they were friendly to the principles of indemnity, where property was violated. Fa himself, he felt an infinite anxiety in the result of this petition. He hoped it would be received by his 31ajesty with a gracious bias is favour of its prayer ; tranquillizing their friends abroad, both black and white, and have the effect of removing that suspense, Which to him, and, he doubted not, to others, produce a more 'dig -stit ce•ble feeling, than even the apprehension that they would be hound to look to other means of relief. lie hoped, if their ion were made the subject of comment, that the commestaton wbpld follow the example of the worthy gentleman (Mr. Palmer), aid exercise their calling with the sante measure of caution, ma dam, and ability. He thanked the meeting for the patience with which they bad heard him, anti he trusted that no device from any snorter would ever disunite them. ;Mi. MARLS said be felt satisfied that after the eloquence of scats of the gentlemen who preceded him, he was assuming a deli. mit situation in attempting to address the meeting upon this im *ARM subject. lie was encouraged however in this attempt from a .tooviction, whatever might have been, or now might be &c -ull:toted to him elsewhere, that here he would be treated with every Itorality. lie might on other scores claim their consideration, for unlit now he had had no opportunity of submitting these remarks wflioh, as a West India Proprietor, he felt it his duty to do. Con situsg a the custom generally prevailing of calling public meetings matters of private intereat,—considering the custom, in Z;lluections of national importance, to obtain an interchange of oPaiAon through such an agency, he considered it not a little strange that Lamming similar to the present had not been long since con. vyried. la saying this however he meant not to convey censure on ate). party—far otherwise; for he was not one who would i 5 , r • t a morse of gratuitous services like those performed by many ' ' he saw around him, with any other sentiments than t most entire, sincere, and indelible gratitude. la common „with those gentlemen he now approached the consideration of tßesubject with far different feelings from those which actuated Must the meeting held last year. Then he wan as if struck down rag) dismay ; now he rested in confidence and hope. Ho laisMil thee. all who heard him would give him credit for not thealightest idea of interrupting that Imeneony whlohno . := htljrould do all he could to continue it. and juin baud aid WO tct perpetuate concord and to strengthen maim . The seemeonoes of the last week gave him some relief how die prams whisk be filt ajnce the last Session of Parliament. The gracious romm rdwidation from the Throne descended fib dow from Mayas to refresh us. The speeches made an dales. milk of Willi . NW roported in the newspapers, implied Ida with arm list while he felt as if recovering Nat a mark anews- IMang under the benign influence of the King's zocamsasedatiam, haotill begged them not to forget that she onanty., like as emit. s, l never slept nor slumbered. _They had still to deal with the M. Ohough one was lately scotched at Demerara; but let them not, Am oi that, fozget that the old ono Kill exists& In all he sint . h and virulence, and that they should be prepared to meet it:, he speaker having hers made • short pause, a pntlerria• r ward to address the meeting, bat was called to order, and dr t. Mares continued.] He felt he could mit give the same effect to.lblit meeting as the respectable gentleman who had just offered himself to their notice, bet if he were indulged for a little mow time (feeling he had an important duty Ishii Wiwi Indian scan. Hymen to discharge) he wonld beg leave to say, that the occur., repro% of last year as to that body, mat with iss parallel is dre history of this country ; they west condemned unheard. The unfounded calumnies were urged against them from one of this country wrthe other; and it was their particular duty. ;ward against prejudice and partiality. It was a hallowed ales Wt to heat all parties fairly and equally, and subordinate sys. /rt'ireve only entitled to respect as they conformed to that maxim. - raft was ample matter afloat to justify their conduct, and show rot only that their rights were created by the royal authority, and rf ' by the votes of Parliament, but that the amelioration of condition of the negroes Gaoling to their means) was greater n could have been expected. Ile would not charge the Govern. nowt with a dereliction of their duty, or impute to the Parliament the adoption of rash or hasty measures ; and he now came to that irpmitant topic, the insurrection at Barbadoes. It was of the deepest importance to every one connected with the Colonies to ban full information upo n . that subject, and thereby he enabled t o ! dltticitsrd all unworthy =potations which had been, or might now be Ma upon them. It was the duty of all not to be de... term/ from the statement of what they had seen and known, because their motives might either be disputed or comlenined. Ile load no personal vanity to gratify, in stating what he knew or that insurrection ; for, in fact, he almost felt called up= tq notice it, after the allusion which was made to his conduct by the last eloquent speaker who addressed Hein. He could safely sap s upon that transaction, that Mr. Wilberforce and his party entertain ed the most groundless suspicions , and they knew it. The general . . . as there, was violated : lie alluded and taxation should be inseps. -r, was introduced, and many that gentleman, predicted its prophecy, unfortunately, was a colony where it was least was neither mountainous nor ' woody, and had but very few mires, out of ir s .ich the military could 510011distio.lge the rioters, it contained a greeter proportion of whites than any other colony, and had a well appointed garrison— (symptoms of impatience were here manifested). Vi ell, then, suffice it witty, that it exhibited &accrue of happiness and prospe ' rity, and suddenly changed to one of desolation and confusion. At the period of the insurrection, he was • Colonel of the 31ilitia, and being toured front his bed at the dead of night, made every effort in his power to quell it and save the people. Ile did tho best he could towards its suppression, and all he now meant to urge was, thst it was wrong not to have ahem' in the House of Commons that the acts of a particular party, in this country, caused all the I danger which subsequently occurred in the West Indies. He now expressed a hope, that some Member of Parliament would ' move fur the despatches forwarded by the Governor (Sir J. Leith), which would clearly show—(Coughing, and tells of Order! Que.- : tiod!)—that his statement was perfectly correct. He was sorry to have trespassed so long, find in conclusion he would only say, that if they excited too early a hope of freedom in the negro, they would find him extremely impatient to possess it. Mr. HIBBEIT observed, that he could say but little to command the attention of so respectable a meeting; he only rose to explain why he did not go more largely into the general question. After long debating in the Committee, it was judged prudent to confine the topics of our petition. Although individually be had a different opinion, still he felt they were brought to a serious crisis; and, as union was necessary, he submitted to the opinion of the majority. He now, therefore, recommended the petition to their unqualified approbation, and hoped it would be signed by every one present, with as little delay as possible. The petition was to the King ; and though not entering at length into the mediate and immediate causes of our distress, it was still of such a nature as by no means to commit them upon that subject. As agent for Jamaica, he took the opportunity of stating , that neither in the discussions of last year, nor this year, had he advanced any opinion but such as he felt as a merchant and • planter in the West Indies. Here the Wor thy Gentleman entered into an explanatiod relative to tone differ ence ofsminion entertained by . his constituents as to the nature of an interview which he had with Government; but as we did not fully bear it, we deem it better to omit it. The Honourable I /en deman then concluded by expressing a hope, that the gracious re commendation from the Throne would once more revive the droop. ing spirits of the West India planters, and save them from that distress and ruin which must otherwise overtake them. Mr. Gnosszee, M.P. said, that the present alarming condition of the West India Colonies could not fail to excite the deepest re gret in any mind, and proved abundantly and awfully that a period of peculiar difficulty had now arrived. I approve, said Mr. Gros sett, of all that the petition contains, and I shall follow the advice of you, Sir, and your example too, in abstaining from those excit ing topics which have been so wisely excluded from that petition. Upon the caution, moderation, and attention of his Majesty's Mi nisters, much must now depend, and their responsibility is now the very fountiation.stone of the West India Colonies. Upon their responsibility the fate of those Colonies is now depending. I agree too with my honourable friend who first addressed you (Mr. Pal mer), in hailing for the Colonies a more auspicious condition than they now ' enjoy and this hope, with him, I derive from the tone and temper of his Majesty's most gracious Speech, which gives us no slight hope that his paternal ear will willingly attend to the prayer of our petition. I trust too that the tranquillity of present disturbance will speedily follow ; that the negro population may soon learn, that in obedience to the laws and to their lawful mas ters, their happinese mainly consists. Major Dehatac said, that though a small annuitant, he could not sit down with folded arum when a subject so vitally important to the empire was under discussion. Amidst the events that had lately arisen, there was much to agitate the most stoical. •and to alarm the most courageous. The precarious tenure by which our Colonies were held had been attributed tomisplacedand misdirected humanity. He fully agreed with that opinion ;at the same time he ' must be permitted to declare it as his firm conviction, that no mea sure of permanent security could be adopted—no system of ulti mate security could be devised which was not landed in the total abolition of slavery. (Hisses.) It would ill become him to state there in detail the reasons that induced him to form that opinion: he meant to do no such thing; bet as he gave Id every man the right to cliftir from him oo this subject, so did he claim the privi lege of expressing his conscientious opinion. The majority—the great and overwhelming majority of that meeting, thought very differently, and their sentiments, he made no doubt, were the off'- spring of a pure and disinterested conviction. 1 own that I see no difficulty in the abolition of the slave system; but I am per suaded that moral principles must be engendered to mere the way for universal emancipation. (Loud yelling.) Gentlemen, continued Major Dalbiac, may hiss and yell when they cannot answer. I have always imagined it to be the chief end of a nubile meeting to correct the erroneous, and to inform and expose the ignorant (cries of "Question !"); and though I am a very unimportant person, yet we all know that the smallest star in its separate orbit may prove es serviceable as the great luminary itself (a laugh, and shouts of" Enough 1") I deprecate all appeals to the paamons; but I assert that these slaves have rights of which they ought not to be deprived. (Cries of " He's a Saint.") lam not a Saint—l am • sinner; but lam an ardent lover of liberty, and I detest oppression. Without meaning to censure the petition, I shall submit to you, Si, a few resolution, the first of which I shall proceed to read to this meeting:— " 1. It is the opinion of this meting that rational and defined liberty is • blessing to which the whole race of mankind have an original tide." (A voice from the crowd, " Not the anther of ' The Voice from Jamaica.' He's an agent of Wilberforce's.") Me. Fut tEit rose, and reprobated such a resolution, as alto gather incompatible with the harmony of the meeting. Major DALBIAC proceeded with his second resolution, which, , from thkgrearellsbe meeting, he was scarcely permitted to read: "t That, asoardance with this principle, and being fully aware that a state of slavery is incompatible with these moral ties, those social feelings of gratitude, which in free countries bind the servant to the master, this meeting anxiously looks forward to that desirable period when the black population of the West Indian Colonies shall be deemed by the Legislature of the Mother Country to be so far exhumed in moral attainments as to be worthy of being admitted to the condition of free labourers and nimble of properly appreciating the blessings of rational free:lom." The CILMIMAX rose, amidst the yells of the meeting, and order was lasteody restored. He said, I beg leave to ask whether the cause of du West India Colonies requires such assistance ? Is it a cause that shrinks from fair argument and if not, what objec tion en you have to baring a gentleman whose sentiments do not precisely forrespond with yours? (Cheers.) Is it not more be coreirtg—as it not common courtesy to suffer the gentleman to pro ceed with his observations, subject, as they must be, to the ani madversions of any gentleman who may think proper to reply to them ? (Hear). This address quieted the wrath of the audience, which WSJ some what formidable when the Chairman rose. Major DALBLec proceeded to read, uninterruptedly, the re maining resolutions:— " 3. Fearlessly as this Meeting proclaims to the world the feel ings by which they are actuated in common with their fellow-men ; anxious as they . ever will be to give those feelin g s e ff ec t by a cordial cooperat i on with the British Parliament ; they still feel it a duty incumbent opus don to declare, that all unworthy or base appeals to the posslome of the yet ealiseated newels.* can only retard Instead WI psamilai ie beaelleent views of the Legh. lature, anti that it le aseeneary diet the_aeopeas should be taught How very shentelleal IS art Wier whit* 'awes bunted along by the kneeholes of eontaredee, a l.Yi. latbrarie itself upon moral ruin.' " 4. That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the owners and occupiers of the soil of the Bring Wss Indian Colonies are as much entitled to Legislative precaution as the downers and occupiers of the soil of Oreat Britain. " fa. That this lleating relied upon the justice of Parliament. trusting that in every manure which may hereafter be brought forward in furtherance of ultimate emancipation, • due regard will be had to vaned and acknowledged rights ; and • con viction of Majesties and at the necessity of equitable indemni fication." In conclusion, Major Waite mid tint he was wry M have ex. cited, in the dis charge of a conselansiase deb, IM tispinsure of so resprstablea tweeting; but he writhe OPOIMISerf kirelna inability further to trespass °lethal, attends& The CHAIRMAN inquired if the resolutions were seconded. If they were it would bet Ms daty Si take the sense of the meeting ups* them:- No Gentleman having peassatad himself for the purr= of se conding the resolutions, The Cows sew said that he could not, in the strict diethsrge of his duty, submit them to the insetiog. Mr. TAYLOR observed that the property of the West India Planters had been fully recognised and ratified by every monarch on the iltitiskthrone. Ow late venerable Sovereign, whose humanity was beyond all controversy, hid, as he subsequently acknowledged, adopted with too great precipitancy, measures interfering with the planters' exclusive rights to their slaves. Is their unanimity and peaceable deportment, they had nothing to fear front the most vio lent alba opponents. Mr. S. DI sox proposed to the Chairman to substitute the word " Beitish" fee " English" possessions, which appeared in the Re port. He remarked that the Irish had, perhaps, many of them, possessions in those colonies. The amendment was adopted. The CuAea MAN thee ruse to put the question on the petition. Mr, DUNCAN CAMPBELL said—f do not rise to tippose the adoption of this petition. Indeed, I think it is contained in such temperate and calm language that no possible objection can justly be raised against it ; but I must be permitted to say, that in much of what has fallen from the Hon. Gentleman on my right (Major Dalbise) I entirely agrees. I agree with him that in proportion to the diffusion of knowledge must be the decay of slavery ; but I qualify that SMEMMO by stating, that slavery had been etnpt of its Gums and its oppressions long before violence towards the pro prietor., personally, and danger to their poatessions, began to mani rest their alarming approach in these colonies (bear); and I believe too that had it not been for the intemperate seal of injudicious par tisanship and false humanity of universal philanthropists, slavery's Progress must ere this have been stayed, and a slave would not live in our West India Colonies. (Hear.) The condition of the negro slave furnished a glorious topic for pathetic declamation; but the' condition was fancied, to suit the necessities of the speaker. I will venture to assert, and Mr. Buxton, who was my active co-operator in the Society estsWislied foe the relief of the Houseless Poor, will hardly deny it, that there is in this country move distress and suffering than have ever been felt in our colonies. (Cheering.) Get the negro slave be produced at the bar of the House of Cone. mons. Let him there speak of his treatment, and his account will fully confirm my statement. (Cheers.) The Gentleman non. chided by expressing his gratitude to the meeting for the attention with which they had received him. The petition being then read and proposer for the adoption of the meeting, it was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Max/it:co —ln order to give the most effectual character to the petition, I shall propose that it be presented to his Majesty in person, by the Chairman of the meeting, accompanied by such 'Members of both Houses of Parliament as are interesteti in the Colonies, and able to attend, and accompanied also by the Colo nial Agents. At the suggestion of Mr. finsw'r, this resolution was recorded, so as to give the Chairman a discretionary power of presenting the petition either to his Majesty at the Levee, or to the Secretary of State. . On the motion of Mr. MANNING, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the Chairman, for his proper and dignified conduct in the chair. Mr. Ei.r.rs retnrnsd thanks; he felt that he had hut inadequately discharged his duty; and had he ,erformed it with the highest ability, their gratitude would be more than an adequate return fur it. TlMmeetitig then separated. Mr. Er.Lis, when the meeting wan separating. stated, that there were different copies of the petition in the room lying for signatures. Several gentlemen signed upon leaving the room. EAST INDIA SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

FATAL. ACCIDiNT.—SIInday morning, between four and five o'clock, the house of Mr. Abraham. a respectable chandler end oilman, No. 26, Iloundsdltch, was entered by three men,! through an alley at the rear of the house, who proceeded to the third floor, where the servant girl slept, and rapping at her door they peremptorily desired her to open it, and to remain quiet, or they would blow out her brains. The unfortunate girl just awoke from het sleep, and under the impression of such threats, ran to the window and lifted it, when, melancholy to relate, she precipi tated herself, into the street, by which fall her brains were literally dashed out. The watchmen in the front of the street kept throw ing missiles at the windows to alarm Me. Abraham, and the noise in the street, it is thought, intimidated the burglars, and they com menced a quick retreat down stairs ; on their descent, a young man about seventeen years of age, the shopman of Mr. Abraham, ilit.charged a pistol at them, the ball of which paved through the hat of one of the burglars, knocked it oft; and it was left be hind LAW INTT'LLWENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Tutsn*T, Fra.lo. The Loan CHIEF Jorricz eat this morning at Nisi Fritts, with a Common Jury. COCKS r. BAKER. This was an undefended action for goods sold and delivered. to the :smotint of 1771. The evidence was, the insertion of the plain tiff's came, and the debt now claimed, in a list of defezdant's debts to the Commissioners of Bankrupt. N'erdiot for the plaintiff. 1771. Several other undefended actions for debt were disposed of; after which his Lordship retired, and 31r. Justice BEST came into Court, and went through the bar. All the Judges came into Court at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear demurrers on declarations and pleas in the common paper ; but at the r:tquest of the Attorney-General, and for the accommodation of Mr. Sergeant Pell, they took the following case from the Crown paper : THE KING v. DROOKs. The defendant, a common brewer, had been convicted by two Magistrates in the penalty of twenty pounds, under the Act of 35 14eo. 111., for selling ale by retail, without being licensed as to the Act. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had obtained a rule to show cause why the conviction should not be quashed. Mr. Sergeant Pa:t.t. showe-1 cause, and argued upon the Act in Rapport of the conviction. The plea put forth for the defendant was, that being a common brewer, and holding a licence from the Excise, a licence from the Magistrates was not necessary. He, on the contrary, contended, that the Act distinctly required a licence from the Nlagistrites for every retailer of beer, and he referred to the 211th of Georg.. 11. to show that the defendant came within the description of retailers of beer. The Loan CHIEF Jusr ict asked for a reference to the Acts relied upon on both sides, and finding 12 Acts referred to, stopt the case, and said it would be impossible to hear it to-day. The Acts ought to have been marked in the margin, that their Lord ships might be prepared. This was necessary, for the sake of example, as well as for the sake of doing justice to this parti cular case. The cue was ordered to stand in its proper place, and to be heard in its regular course. CARD C. DOPE. This ease had been repeatedly t;riiied at great length. It had been an action upon a covenant. The plaintiffs had been owners of nine-sixteenths of the Indianian, Herefordshire, and had sold tivc-sixteenths to the defendant for t 2,00111.; the defendant to be master of the ship, and the plaintiffs husbands and agents. The LOAD Crime JUSTICE delivered the judgment of the Court at considerable length, They were of opinion that the con. tract was illegal, because the appointment of a master to a ship so valuable, in such Important and difficult navigation, ought to be free and impartial, and not to be given from interested considera tions or for money given in the form of payment for shares in the ship, or in any other way. In this judgment the Court regarded the East India Company only as charterers of the ship. Judgment for the defendant. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. THE RING e. THE BRITISH AND INDIAN OBSERVER. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved fora rule to show cause, why a criminal information should not issue against William AVhite, printer and publisher of a certain Sunday news papa, called The British and Indian Observer, for a libel on Sir William Rumbold, contained in the publication of Sunday last, and also in placards pasted on boards, which were carried by men about the metropolis. The latter stated that Sir W. Rumbold was turned out of India by Mr. Adam, during the interregnum between the departure of the Marquis of Hastings and the arrival of Lord Amherst, for defrauding Government of 350,0001. The former, after some introductory observations about Sir W. R. having brought home several boxes fall of specie, was couched in the following terms :—" The Nizam, who is the Prince at Hydrabad, wished to borrow from the house of Palmer and Co. in which Sir W. Rum. bold was a partner, fifty lacks of rupees, or 700,0001. at the very moderate interest of 25 per cent. As Messrs. Palmer and Co. were not worth so much, they thought it prudent to borrow as much money as they could from the natives, at 121, per cent., and by the force of English bayonets commanded by English officers, levy their interest of 25 per cent. for all the sums which they had ad vanced to the Nizam. This excellent speculation went on for some time ; in the mean time the East India Company had engaged to pay the Niram's debts, under the condition that he should place his estate under the protection of the English government. and al low the Company to administer them as trustees, till all his debts were paid, receiving in the interim a yearly sum for him for his maintenance. When the several creditors were called upon to wove their debts, the House of Palmer and Co. produced an ac knowledgment signed by his Highness for the amount of 700,0001. which was thesum stipulated at first to be lent ; on inquiry, how ever, it turned out thatef this sum only 360.0001. had been paid ; and that the remainining 3641,0001. was merely a fraudulent trick to be played against the government, who, without this inquiry In stituted by 31r. Adam, would have been obliged to pay to Messrs. Palmer and Co. nothing less than 330,0001. more, as a just debt contracted by the Nizard with their house." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed, that this was a most atrocious libel on a gentleman who had recently arrived in England, after a residence of upwards of 12 yews in India :.he would, there fore, read the affidavit of Sir W. Rumbold, to chew that the whole of the statements were utterly untrue and calumnious. He then read the affidavit, which distinctly denied every statement that had been published in the above paper. The LORD Cuing J vr cE.—I will thank yos, Mr. Attorney- General, to rearkahat partrir ale affidavit which denies taking hem the Nizam a security of 700,0001., when be received only 350,0001. ; or that denies taking a higher security than the money advanced by the house of Palmer and Co. The part alluded to was read by the Attorney-General, when, after a short consultation, the chieJustice asked for the affidavit and paper to be handfd to the Court, and allowed the subject to be again brought before the Court to-morrow. RENSINGTON TOLLS. Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a criminal information against Mr. Sketchier, treasurer, and one of the trustee, of the Kensington Trust Turnpike-roads. This application was made on the affidavit of Mr. Cobbett, which detailed at length the circumstances which have already appeared, when he preferred an information against Mr. Levy, the lessee of the trust, at Bow-street, for taking mote tolls than allowed by law. The ground for moving the informa tion against Mr.Sketchley was, that he. being treasurer and trustee, had not caused a board, with a correct list of tolls, to be placed up at the toll-gate, as was reignited by the Act of Parliament. The Cn lEF J USTICE thought, that as this omission might have arisen from inadvertency, it was not enough to warrant a criminal information. Leave was given to mention the mattes t 0.41101701/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, WESTMINSTER, TUESDAY, FEB. 10. 'THUITELL T. BEAUMONT. Mr. Justice Pasta ;e;tl his notes of this trialyestadar. It will be recollected that it was an action brought by Al r. Thanes Thur. tell against Mr. Barber Beaumont, as Managing Director of the County Fire Office, upon a policy of insurance, to recover the amount of certain goods alleged to have been destroyed by fire in Watling - street , in the month of January, 1823. The principal witness upon that occasion was John Thurtell. who afterwards as such unfortunate notoriety, and upon his evidence and that of other witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintifE— Damages 1,900 L (the full sum claimed). On the 10th of Novem ber last, Alr. Sergeant Teddy moved for a rule to chew cause why the verdict should not lie set aside and a new trial granted, on three grounds ; first, a misdirection to the Jury by the Learned Judge; and secondly, that a bill for a conspiracy to defraud the County Fire Office had been found by the Wand Jury of Middlesex against the two Thurtells, and two of the other witnesses in this case. The Court refused the motion on both these grounds ; but granted it on a third ground ; namely, that it appeared by the a ffi davit of James Wrigglesworth, that a quantity of the goods stated to have been in the warehouse at the time of the fire, had been sold at various times on and subsequently to the 2.2 d of December, 1822, by John Thur tell and J. B. Snowden to Messrs. !Hargraves, of H ood-street, at a price twenty per cent. less than their first cost ; and by an affi davit of Joseph Hunt, that in a conversation with John Thurtell, the latter stated in substance that the premises had been wilfully I set on fire. Previously to the arguments of Counsel for and against the rule. the affidavits on both sides were ordered to be read by the officer of the Court. Of those for the defendant the most material were the affidavits above alluded to, together with that of a person named Robinson, wholived opposite to the premises, and swore that he could see the plaistiff 'a roams whe,n the premises were on fire, and that they were quite empty. These were met on the part of the plaintiff by numerous affidavits the most important of which were M;H those of Messrs. ;Hargraves and some of their servants, and of .1. 11. Snowden, which contradicted the allegations contained in Wrig glesworth's affidavit. They were also denied in the affidavit of the late John Thurtell ; as were also the facts stated by Hunt. The affidavit of Thomas Thurtell alleged, that when he taxed Hunt in his brother's presence, at Hertford, with having made that state ment, hp (Hunt) burst into tears, begged to be forgiven, and said them he had only done it to try to save himself. Mr. SergeantVanants• this morning chewed cause why the rule for a new trial in this case shoyld not be discharged. This was a case that was connected with parties and circumstances which had excited a degree of interest never surpissed. The evidence of John Theisen and .Joseph Hunt might not be believed, and he asked their Lordships to consider the ease upon distinct accounts. This case could not be restored to its former state, on account of the prejudices that had gone forth, for it did not follow that be cause a man had been guilty of one crime he was guilty also of an other, which is the Teases of the resistance of this claim. Ile would put it thus, because. there was a suspicion (for he would el 00 higher) that the house in Watling-street had been wilfully AO oil fire, and that if there were any goods on the premises, they were re moved before the fire. Assuming that John Thurtell was the most worthless man on the face of the earth, he did not think it was in human nature to commit the crimes imputed to hint of arson and perjury. But striking his evidence mkt of the question, the bears. eel Counsel continued, he would contend that this claim ought not to be resisted. It had been proved on the trial, that goods to the ainentnt of 1,700/. and upwards had been purchased by T. Thurtell, besides the furniture, with the view of his entering into business, as soon as he could get released from his engagement at the Cock. This had been proved by unimpeachable witnesses. Ile addressed himself to men of knowledge, independently of that of their profes. sion ; and he asked whether it was ever heard of, that a man would purchase goods and pay for them with ready mousey, in order to put them into a house and then set it on fire ? The testimony of An. Berson swore positively that the goods so supplied were deposited on the premises, and were, as be firmly believed, on them on the 'night of the fire. There was proof of the delivery of goods at Wr yest four in the afterhoou before the ere. g pro ghto o : ftb o ireak.tro l he Y :: orteuh.t h e id sat e Hunt l adw a r: th iht e ,e; Mr. Justin./ PAIL— Voce have a Lon evidence of heath. Mr. Sergeant VAEGIIAN thanked his Lordship. But it aces said what evidence have we that John Thurtell was not on the i ss : He answered that the evidence of Lnyor went to prove that fne. But independently of this, it was a snowy night, and if h e 1 1 ,,g been on the premises be might have been traced.

Loin Cum , licarter —Yon have a right to assume that the Jury were satisfied the fire was not occasioned wilfully, sad d ui verdict is not to be disturbed, except on fresh affidavits. Mr. Sergeant l'arcllAN would therefore be short. Ile then alluded to the affidavits of Mr. Heaument and Wriggleswonk Wrigglesworth stated, that about the middle of Iteeerliber Joh n Tburtell and Snowdon went to Margraves', and offered goods, par. chased of Todd and 31orrisem, 20 per cent. under prime cost, n e the introduction of M'rigglysworth. Was his evidence true? is he? A discarded servant of Meaux Margraves. Something had been insinuated by Mr. Beaumont against the Mewl. 3hr. graves; but the Learned Counsel contended that they were roma high and unimpeachable character, and incapable, he believed, sC any dishonourable action. But Wrigglesworth would have it be. tiered that they had actually bought the goods of Tburtell * per cent. under their value, and that the original invoices were lint d e . posited with them, and afterwards changed, and that the m eta l, had been demanded by John Thurteil. If the 3lesers. 3largnuts Acre the tainted characters that Wtigglesworth had describes. they would not have done their work in so bungling a mantle ; but they positively deny that they ever knew or saw John Thar. tell, as well as the circumstances relating to the invoices. Ever, part of Wriggleswinth's affidavit had been contradicted by Snowdon. LORD Cuter JeflTlCE—Then is one part of Snowdeo's en. dence to which I will advert. Snowdon states that he acted as x i agent, but it is not said to whom he was agent. If he sold nu goods as an agent, why did he not swear for whom he said th ee , He does not negative that they were Thurtell's. But, be n d ie , Vaughan, don't think I am giving N i any opinion in the present tage. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHA admitted t would have been bet ter if this part of the subject had been gone mum fully into. Mr. Justice Patti—Whether this fact is of sufficient importer(' to warrant a new trial he would not say, but it was as observitik• fit to be made. Mr. Sergeant VILI•GRAW--The invoices were produced oa tlt trial. On the subject of the payment of the proceeds, it was pm. tively sworn by Mr. Hargrave, that he never paid any money I John Thurtell on acc o u nt o f arry sale whatever. The Leaned Counsel continued to comment at considerable length on the alleg e d transaction with the Mears. Marpavea. He then adverted to do origin of the fire, and observed, that it might have been caused by the negligence of Wilkinson, who occupied the lower pan elf tot house, where the plaintiff's witnesses swore they lest saw the de e , and " well in." He contended, that after what had passed in lint. fordahire, this case could not be restored to lb former Patel ad that upon this ground a new trial slidekl not, therefor, be poise The defendant had gone to Hertford to make inquiries of Hunt, at a moment when he was preparing fur a most awful le& non ; this rendered it necessary for the other side to go * I Hertford to make inquiries of John ThurtelL If the decimals of such a miscreant were worthy of the least credit, he would Ob. frost Joseph Hunt with Joseph Hunt. If there was any mom whim his wards might be believed, it must have been immedinly aher W conviction, when he went to John Thurteff's cell, bone Wm tam and acknowledged that be had done him wrong. WA these observations he left the ease. Mr. Sergeant PEL L followed on the same side. Mr. Barber Beaumont said be wished to address the Court. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE could not hear him. "If you wish to be your own Counsel, you may apply ; but we cannot hear loth yourself and your Counsel." Mr. Beaumont still wished to address the Court, but at law sat down. ,i - /1-e- • No. I NEFF 7 ' P HIS EVE - 1 - _ PAILA The principal l Temr, Holey, 1 Saliba/IN and AI To co Polanders--Pri Mon Baron Lo sass bodoiska, 31 j Tatars—Rena Khar, Mr. G. 8m To-morrow, A Child; and Giori On Saturday, A minimums. 711847'A THIS EVE: Or, THI The Principal ( Cooper, Dgrueet, lamp azIFI M.

The vessel reached Rio Janeiro, unloaded, took in a eareo of sugar and coffee, and sailed for Hamburgh. On the UM Oct. they were within soundings, when a heavy gale of Mad overtook them, and drove the vessel on the coast of Brittany, where she me stranded on the Ist Nov., and the whdle of the cargo was lost Nor the special point to be raised co behalf of Captain Clark, tie muter, was this—that because no part of the cargo was sod, the seamen had forfeited their wages He (Dr. Adam) iPPrt• hended that the facts of the seamen having acted under the map mend of the Captain and officers of the vessel until the eth day November. and assisting to save the materials, its., on Wish le, it appeared, they were regularly discharged, were sufficient@ tea. .bliele a claim kw wage% more particularly as some masts, me, ails, anchors, cables, &c. were saved, and sold by public maim for more Money than the wages amounted to.

KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, Fits. 7. THE LINO - ii : TH - E - 14 - 01 - ECI/TION Or MICHAEL LUCE C. LORD TARWIIAD. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL TOW for the defendant, to IP cause why a criminal information should not be granted. Heed the a ffi davit on the part of the plaintiff (the preminent which appeared in a former number of this Journal, and fresh in the recollection of our readers.) He said that the dale was a most heavy and serious ase (if true), and felt it rather el• traordinary that the premolars, having stated that amen' PIM were present at the infliction committed upon him, did not air vow to bring some of them forward to substantiate his inept. The fact was, his Lordship had wholly abstained from into In the matter, but had desired his wood ranger (Wilson) to • boy before Mr. Graham, a nese Magistrate. It was a imputation upon Lord Farnham to say, that, in his capacity, he had from the Bench, without any trial ot directed punishment to be inflicted upon the prosecutor. Lordship, in conjunction with the Rev. Mr. Robinson, one presiding Magistrates at the Petty Sessions, and Wilson, the ranger, had come forward by affidavit to rebut the false a of the prosecutor. He (the Solicitor-feeneral) would not] lengthened affidavits, but would state, in substance, their Lord Farnham had had, from time to time, many acts dation committed upon his demesne ; the prosecutor, ho' caught in the fact by the wood-ranger, and by him be' his lordship, who directed that he should be taken se Magistrate. Lord Farnham, however, as was usual with all such occasions, attended the Petty Scotism on the 3d tember last; the Rev. Mr. Robinson, and another Magi' also in attendance. When the case of the prosecutor - his Lordship said " I am concerned, and will retire,— cordingly did so. Here the Learned Solicitor grounded argument on the observation used by Lord Farnham as • of his being a party to any subsequent acts. The I. deprecated the rancorous spirit which had dictated u. anti lamented that their Lordships could not overtake which had spread far and near, and concluded by saying, order could not, in truth or justice, be granted. AIL WALLACE, for the prosecution, rose, and made a Lion to the defendant's Counsel, that if they would cow the facts of the case go before a Jury, he (Mr. W.) • they abstain from making any further observations to conditional order ought to be made absolute. TheSotterrom-GENERAL, after stew o Mr. WALLACE mourned. He felt that, however Lordship might have acted in his Magisterial capacity, at e Sessions, belied, in his allegations, in which he unfurled of party feeling, as being the excitation of the present - been much more indisaeet ; in mating such, he ins nounced his being at die head °fa partly. Such • topic w judicious and dangerous one. In the King's Bench. partly feeling could there find its war. Did the Noble be r., by introducing such a topic, he could disparage or I:1 a• the merits of the complaint Hid he think he could thane) the imputation ? He (Mr.W.) would say, that the very m tion of party feeling avino crept into the present proc ,, rigid justice should strip party influence of its mischicia.:: st . by dealing rigorously with it. He would ask, was the party question ? Party feeling partook of an insidious, • artful character: but he thought it needless to my that. King's Bench, party fading never could nestle; parts could not find a protector in the laws. Such a charge sat opinion quite idle. Mr. Wallace next observed, with and emphasis, that there was no period in which there be found, amongst the profession, those who would come fearlessly, in a Court of Justice, to advocate the cause of r ble and the oppressed against the proud sod the greet for his part, he would rather submit to have the gown from off his back, than drag it throegh the mire of pii . rt! , then, forcibly and eloquently, went over the various pow prosecutor's case. Mr. Hot sits, on the same side, contended that If had, in this instance, outraged his magi-terial duties, - the law. He supported his proposition by quoting the Act, and contended, that if the facts stated by the r established, Lord Farnham had rende:ed himself wl any longer to hold the Commission of the peace. 31r..1 °Helios+ for the defendant, argued at grea t contended, that the conditional order could not be made The Loan CHIEF JVATICE announced, that the the Court was, that the proceedirgs in this case ORg lit i ` ,Iquired into, and, as such, that the conditional order x absolute.
