Mr. ScaatATT stated, that this action was brought to recover from the Defendant a consider ohle limn of money which was due by him to Mr. Sinfield, for wages, at the time of his '(Sit-field's) death. Mr. Trongliton was a gentleman of very large fortune, and resided at 'Vauxhall. Previous to the year twig-Li he was possessed of great wealth, hut, at that period, a ;entleman of the name of Kempenfelt died, and his wealth WAS added to the already large fortune of the Defeo-hi:it.— Sinfield had lived with Mr. Kempenfelt, as butler and 'confidential servant, for twenty-five years —during which Ikea he prided hireseiren wearing, .his• Master's fiver". When solicited to leave it off, he always eteenteuely - refused, &elm that so long as his rood master lived, he would continue to wear the badge of his service in so ho nonnible a family.

This recomoiendatiosi hold the desired effect. Mr. 'rrolightois immediately employed Sinfield in the situation of house and land steward—a situation of great trait, and which it was important to every Gentleman to have •properly filled. its this Office he remained till he died—and the present action was brought to recover the wages that had ac.,ruerl Miring the period of hie service. The Learned Counsel regretted that Mr. Troughton had suffered the cause to come into Court, sitter, he was con vinced, no legal defence could be set up. He slionhl read numerous letters front Mr. Treughtost to Sinfield, expression , great satisfaction at his exer tions in the office of House and land steward, and, when lie had done so, he felt confident that the Jury would return a verdict for the PI 'lfs.

A Petition of William Ogden, of Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, printer, was presented and read; set ting forth, that the Petitioner is an old man, 74 years of age, with a large family dependant on him for support, and during his absence his wife solicited the Overseers of Man ielsester for relief, but was rudely refused any, es be the said Petitioner vru an advocate fur Parliamentary Reform, al though be has paid the pour rate in Manchester for 36 years, and by his two wives had 17 children; he was seized, by • war rant from Lurd Sidmouth,on Sunday morning the 911. March. 1817, while is bed, the day before the meeting of the 10th ; his house was rummaged, his property carried away, and all his papers,and though nothing was found but what was per fectly legal, he was committed to prison in solitary modem natal, nor bad he any meat allowed tom from Sunday morn ing till Tuesday at three o'clock in the the afternoon, when, on complaint to Colonel Sylvester, the Magistrate. he was ordered a three-penny pye, which was all the meat allowed • kim at that prison; be also informed the said Magistrate that his shoes ware broke, and not fit for such &journey, on which the illhigistrate said, "Get him a pair, Nadia get him • pair;" bat the eatchpole replied, " Why did you not send fur another pair ?" M Which the Petitioner replied, " 1 have not always Iwo pair, and did not know of marching orders;" but Nadia replied. " lee too late now, and over. ruled the Colonel, as none were given the Petitilnier; hew/. then loaded with • manacle not lees than thirty pounds weight, and treated iu the most brutal manner by the con. stable, and Nadia hits depnty, whom the Petitioner has every reason to conclude was the informant against him ; as be had for six weeks before declared to the Petitioner person ally, that if be did not discontinue his attendance at the public meetings be would apprehend him; enintions of the rectitude of his conduct, the Petitioner disregarded his rude threat ; but before the meeting of the 10th of March com menced, be was apprehended by the said Nadia, and there fore did not attend ; on applicatio n to face say informant, the Petitioner was treated indignantly by the ferocious Nadi'', and immediately posted off; the ponderous irons the Petitioner was loaded with broke his belly, end caused an hernia to ensue about eight o'clock in the evening, when going to bed, and it was impossible to alarm the puler; the Petitioner remained in that dreadful state for more than sixteen boars is the most exeruciatiug torture; on the turnkey appearing in the morning, two surgeons were cent for, who, after using sash means as seemed to them necessary, fond nothing would do but the knife, and appre hended, from the Petitioner's age (seventy-four), he should die under the severe operation; the pain be endured was so great, that he insisted on that means being resorted to; they unwillingly commenced She operation, which coati nued fur one hour and forty Illiatalre and, praised be God, and the skill of the surgeons, the Petitioner survived it, contrary to the surgeons' expectation, hut much debili tated in his constitution, and he is fearful he shall never be able to follow his employ as a printer; Mr. Dixon, the servo's. and bits partner performed the operation in Horsens ouger Gaol, and can witness to the truth of this statement; the wound in the groin of the Petitioner was above seven inches in 'tomtit, and Mr. Dixon had his entrails unt of his belly in Ids Augers, like a link of sausages; Mr. Walters the Governor was also there, and can speak so the fact here recorded ; this. has an old man been turn from his family, and ruined in his business, by the base municipa lity of Alatichester alone, who alone were the rioters, sae of whom was a clergyman, the Reverend Mr, C.

May it therefore please the House to take the above into serious con. *literalism, and ;rant such redress as to them may seem uteri. NORTHERN EXPEDITION. If an open navigation should be discovered across the Pular Basin, the passage over the Pole, or close to it, will be one of the most interesting events to science that ever occurred. It will he the first time that the problem was practically solved, with which the learners of gi-ography are sometimes pissaled—that of going the ►hortest way between two places lying east and west of each other, by taking a di rection of north anti south. The passage i f the Pole will require the undivided attention of the navigator. Ou ap• pntaching this point, from which the northern coasts of Europe, Asia, and America, 01111 every part of them, will hear soufk of him, nothing can possibly assist him in deter mining his course, and keeping on the right meridian of Ilia destined place, but a correct knowledge of the time, and 3et no means of ascertaining that time will be uffordeil him.— The only time be can have, with any degree of certainty, as long se be remains on or near the Pule, must be that of Greenwich, and this he can know only front good chro nometers ; fur from the general hazy state of the atmoishere, ■nd particularly nitwit the horizon, and the sameness in the altitude of the sun, at every hour in the four-and-twenty, lie must not expect to obtain an approximation even of the apparent time, by observation, and he will have Ito stars to assist him. All his ideas respecting the Heavens, and the reckoning of his time, will be reversed, and the change nut emboli, as in proceeding from the rust to the west, or the contrary, but instantaneous. The magnetic needle will point to it■ unknown magnetic Pole, or fly round from the point of the howl from which it is suspended, and that which indicated north will now be south, the east will become the west, and the hone of noun will he that of midniOtt.—(l he Quarterly Perim) NAVAL INTELLIt.tqVCE.

This 'action arose out of a breach of bargain, al. legr'd to hive taken place at the Falkirk Tryst, iti ti-istessiber, 1816. As stated by the opening Counsel. the Prarstiers were persons of great respectability in Dumfriesshire. and were in the habit of adv.& tug all the great rattle fairs in Scotland, fur the ,ntrpose of procuring cattle, which they ufterwaids sold in the English market. In September, 1816. they were present at the Falkirk Tryst, and agreed to purchase forty slots, or steers, from the De fender, Pennycook, whirl, were accordingly tarred with their mark, and delivered to their servairts. Pennycook being, present all the time. Subsequent to this. bow . a person of the name ot• Owler seems also to have taken a fancy to the same drove ; and although he saw the tar niark of Juhrtstru► mod Proudfoat upon the cattle. and was informed, by a person present, that they were already disposed of, yet he imme diatel►• went to Pennycook, and made him, as it appeared from one of the witnesses, a higher offer fur tire cattle. Penn) cook was accordingly prevail ed upon to enter into another bargain with Owler, and, utter couclusling it, immediately left the mar ket, without 114 Vilig any further commircricirti (((( with the Pursuers.
