I I I ; i , I ( ) , DEMERARA. DECEASE OF 31It. JOHN SMITH. (Prom the Afiationky Chcohlek.l Tidings of she affecting conclusion of Mr. Smith's suff.rings lihm just reached England. The Directora have not, as yet, themselves received information of the erect, nee is the intelligence direct from the Colony; but the mcount arrived by way of Bertodoes, is attended with so many mares of Authenticity, and is rendered ro probable by a letter from )lie. Lidos, tilted 11th and lath January, brought by the same conveyance. (quotations front which ue given hereafter). that it cannot be reasonably doubted. The Barkdoes Mt-teary of die 14th of February contains the following statement :—" Demerara, Feb. 6.—Died this morning, K B) minutes past one o'clock, in the Colonial Gaol, where he had Um confined as a state prisoner since the 26th of November last, N the termination of his trial by General Court-martial, on a Morse of high treason`, sentence thereon having been . transmitted to has Slajoety for his fi nal decision, John Smith, miss ionary. Ile hid bets in a poor state of health, and had medical advice for a sonsiderable time peerless: and since he took seriously ill,ahout throe weeks ago, has been attended tegularly by skilful physicians. We are happy to state, by personal inquiry and inspection, that this untnetueute man had the utwust attention and kindness shown to Mtn ley the humane keeper of the prison (Mr. Padmore) all the nos of his cordiument. His apartment was airy and conoled!. gut t and he had always at his command every cannot which his taste farmed, or bin Deeelivinev required. lie has left a widow to deplore his tare and lament his lam" - .the Directors give the extract entire, hoping that the remain. tattoo of the attentions paid to the deceased (the only alleviation to their feelinge which, in a temporal view, the case can supply), is sunsistent with the fut. They understand from 3lr. Eliseo, that ma chatoeter of humanity attributed to dlr. Padmore, the keeper of the prison, in well mental; and for every act of kindness and sympathy shown by him to the deceased, the Directors sincerely and publicly ogee him their warmest acknowledgments. Titus h.., been brought to its present close the tragical rune of persecution, which has been for years preparing in Demerara. against the faithful servants of Christ; and which has at length tbund its victim in one amongst them, who, for fidelity and dili seece, stood in the foremost rank. The finger of truth, guided by the en envious voice of the Christian church, will inscribe on it. meorste the name of John Smith, as one of its martyrs in the crux of spryest - tog the gospel of their common Lord amongst the en slaved /toes of Arms. lint the head of death, in putting a elate Its the tabulation and sufferings of this martyr, has fixed an im. moveable seal (tithe guilt of the act, by which that issue has been produced. The chains of the prisoner here been broken, not by the act of merry eons has gracious earthly Sovereign (though it was extended, as otoo as the need of it was known), but by the antedate of the King of king*, which has separated the accusers and the accused, till the day when both shall stand before his throne of judgetent, to hear the irreversible decision of that supreme court, to which the groanings of the oppressed have car ried the appeal. ‘Vith what shadow of justicethe sentence of hie judges in De merara, which has led to this awful estaxtrophe, was passed, will now, more than vote claim front the highest adniinistiators of law and equity, to all the subjects of them realms, the most serious in sessiganon and decision. The question which, it was hoped, would terminate on the title of Britons to civil rights, must be 1..' adjudged on the laws by which their lives are protected. e ,erceoever residing under their guardian care. It was a point of rearresting import at all times; it has become one of momentous eensequeoce. Let it not be said, that nut rcy Wes ildendta, ("KWh pulite die. tated the tyre/ice The friends of the deceased!, now, as they have ever dune, reject the preonded boon. The last Chrunirk con. tains, though in the mildest form that the expression of proper fading's would allow, the claim, and the only claim which their sense of duty to the deceased pemlitted them to prefer to his Ma, jetty's Government—that °fie:ace, according to the laws, as ad. Ministered in these realms. They did not crave; for they never believed that the criminated and even then condemned missionary *eery needed mercy, on any charge legally affecting liberty or re. e .t.a., much 100 on any accusation that, by the laws, threatened si/). Their convictions, of what the firm and ingenious mind of Mr. &rith himself would dictate on the subject, strengthened their sense of obligation towards him in this respect. They could not, itgleed, but entertain considerable fear, that his keen sense of the taiustice done him would not allow him to avail himself of the odne of personal liberty, upon any conditions, which, however in tended on the part of his Alajesty's Government, would seem to imply, if accepted by hint, an acknowledgment of culpability; especially if it were found that his acceptance would bar his legal appeal against the whole proceedings instituted against him. In addition to the impression of injury created by all the transactions of his trial, he had himself heard the clamorous altercations of his edges, fn coming to their verdict (for he was at that time confined in *room near to that in which they assembled); he had heard the loud shout that arose, when, a* he supposed, the sentence was more to, and the impression lett on his spirit was, and could only be, trotirely opposite to that of acquiescence in the penalty so laid upon him. Ile would be aware, that his enemies in the Colony ware not ashamed openly to declare their disappointment, and re. yet that their victim had been, on any terms whatever, delivered trom their rage. Let not this be said to be calumny ; for if the public press may justly be taken as a vehicle of public scatiment or feeling, it stands recorded on one of their journals. The Editor at one of the Newspapers enures', " We shall not be precluded Dom adverting to the Nei:vela( "ethers qf distrait and dismay it has produced. with reference to its poesible tendency." The Directors feel that the true now so steeply deplored by them does not relax the duty of seeking redress fur the injury done by these proceedings to their deceased missionary, to the cause of miesions, to the violated laws of their country ; nor of endeavour. log to obtain future protection for the lives and liberty of other in dividuals engaged in the same disinterested and benevolent labours. Vie object Is now somewhat charged ; but that justice which can. not be done to the person, must be sought for to the character of the martyred missionary. The measures of the Directors, since their last report, have more jperticularly been directed to obtain a emission on the part of his ejesty's Government, of the recognizance required of Mr. Smith, not to return to the West India; but the arrival of the news of his death, on the morning on which an appointment was made for presenting a memorial to that effect, has rendered that proceeding snap liable. They had abet submitted a case, embracing the Laibeatings of the whole question, to the opinion of several nut, eminent in different department sof the law, and have required their advice as to the measures proper to be pursued for obtaining the desired redress. Some hindrance in the further pro ceedings must necessarily take place from the change occasioned in the case by the decease of Mr. Smith, but the Members of the So elegy may be assured that no evitable delay shall be incurred. It is no doubt generally known, that some proceedings have taken place in the llouse of Consumes, which will probably lead to a full mvestigetion of the transactions hi Demerara, connected with this subject, to which the public sill look with earnest attention. The Directors had received a letter, dated the 12th of January, eigned and partly written by Mr. Smith probably the last which he ever wrote, a few days prior to the arrival of the report of his decease, which is subsequently given. It affords them an unspeakable satis. tactioe that their own letter to hint reached his bands in time to prevent him from dying in uncertainty as to the opinion they had -formed upon bis case, and without the assurance of their conhdence in his innecenre, and of their sympathy in his sufferings. It seem ed to administer to him the only coneelation of a temporal kind which his mind needed. Mrs. Elliot, in her letter, states that "it domed hint." A iorasal of the trial had long ago rendered unne armory the decheration which his letter contains, in answer to the inquiry which the Directors thought it their duty to make, whether he bad, in any degree, by correspondence with other associations or otherwise, stepped beyond the proper line of his duties to their Society, as marked out in his instructions. The declaration is boomer of importance, as containing the refutation given by a sly. tag man to the assextioni still loudly made in the country—that tracts of the most injurious tendency are copiously circulated, by the means of Alissionaries, amongst the Negroes to the Colonies. The London Missionary Society circulates no tracts whatever ; and its Directors prohibit the booksellers who send out books, ca ts:Mem., and other mastications ordered by them, from putting in tear packages anything not contained in the order. The Directors acknowledge with *inure thankfulness the many testimonies of approbation and assurances of support received from the Associated Members of the Friends of the Society, in various parts of the country, during the past month ; and for the declare- Iron of cordial interest taken in the case of Mr. Smith, by several atatinguielied personage& and other highly respected individuals, who had not previously directed their attention to its proceed ings. Extracts from resolutions and other communications are printed on the following pages of their Chrowkte. These expos itors of public feeling the Directors regard as of high importance, net merely to their own institution, but to all societies formed for the support of Christian Missions to the Heathen, wheresoever car ried on. It s ill he ioreroaible for such Societies to proceed in their benevolent labours v. ith confidence, and to invite, with becoming integrity. individuate to coonnit their lives and liberty to their rare az] dirte.ton, if a due security cannot be assured to them, chile eenduceing themselves blamelessly, in the just administration o f law, especially in the dependeee.es of the British Crown. To this point the attention not only of the friends of Ili:loons, but of the community st large, is now directed with the itio.t unequivocal earnestness ; and the subject cannot be disposed of 011 any terms short of positive security. The live. of Missionaries must be pro tected as effectually as those of other Englishmen, front the cap. ice or jealouxy, or dhoti, of Governors and other inhabitants of the British Colonies. The political constitution under which Brassies live, the generous dispositions which they cherish, the hive of the laws which they cultivate, all require this; and the Sovereign and the Parliament of the United Kingdom are too wise, tun just, mid too patriotic, to wish to withhold it. The Members of theetiociety will feel, in its full extent, the im. penance of the cause in which Divine Providence has called them to engage—not merely in the pruntotion, but in the defence of the Gospel ; and the Directors are rendered confident, by the assurances which the occasion has called forth (though they never had &doubt rem the subject), that they shall receive from them and the public at large, an thl mippOrt and, countenance which the exigency may require. The enemies of Christian missions in all parts of the world, and especially in the Eastern and Western Dependencies of the British Empire, have ahewn the zeal and arcluur with which they are prepared to embrace every occurrence that can throw dis. credit upon, and inspire distrust in, those engaged at home end in arefrie- -- - '•-inely authorised efforts of Christian ted their imagined triumph, gained' misrepresentations of the commo- Ctilonial writes persist in terming .. ... found against Mr. Smith, tuts ab. every legal bearing, has been so ably ' &a. sive. horositos. don in Demerara, and their fake comments upon it, through the whole world. Such triumphs ass only be short. The Members of the London Missionary Society will, from a conviction of what their duty requires, steadfastly prosecute the la ' hours in which they have engaged. They will fcel that, through the sailing% of their Missionary Smith, an honour has been con. (erred on their body. It has been no unusual thing for 3lission aries of all Societies, worn out with labour end the elkets of cli mate, calmly to resign their lives as the hod ph lige of their fidelity : but it has tot till now happened, in recent times, that • missionary has been called to yield his life to the rage of his perse cutors, vented under the (omit of kw. May it be the last which the history of the Christian missions shall have to record ! The Directors beg to repeat their invitation to Ministers who may posses the needful qualifientioPs for such a station, to orce their services, Cif a limited period, in OM interesting part of the world. 31r. Elliot is desirous of resuming his labours, and the Directors would be happy if, on his return, be were aczompanled by one or two fellow-labourers. LENT ASSIZES. SURREY ASSIZES, BIARcu SI.

This was an action on the clue for wrongfully erecting and work. ing a steam-engine on the defendant's own premises, whereby the plaintiff was injured in his trade and annoyed in his dwelling. Mr. Alarryatt, 31r. Gurney, and Mr. Chatty conducted the plain. tiff's case ; and Mr. Adolphus and 3lr. Platt the defendants'. The plaintiff' is a carver and gilder, carrying on busines in Kent-street, in the Borough; and the defendant, are sheet. lead manufacturers, occupying premises adjoining to the plain. tiffs factory. It was all, , ged, that within the last twelve months the defendants had erected a steam.ingine in their mute. factory. for the purpose of rolling lead, which, when working, operated as a nuisance to the plaintiff in three particulars, first, by the shaking and vibration of the ground; which prevented him from carrying on his business of carver and gilder, and looking glass silverer ; seamd, by the smoke emitted from the engine, which made his habitation uncomfortable; and, third, by the DOXIOUS smell arising from the melting and working of laid, which allured his health. _ _ A great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, m to the question, whether :he plaintiff had any just rause of complaint ; and after the consumption of • great deal of time, it was Pgr:cd to refer the cause to the arbitration of Mr. Iklland.

The action was brought to recover compensa tion for an assault committed by the defendant, Mrs. Rent, upon the plaintiff, in July last, by throwing a gins of beer in his face, and striking him three or four titre about his head. It also ap peared that Mrs. Rent threw a small tub of water upon the plain tiff, and struck him repeatedly with the tub about the head. After this Mary Rent, who was the daughter of the other defendants, tame up and seized the plaintiff. Several witnesses were called to prove these facts, who also de posed that the defendant had been with them, to request that they would not go against him, and that if they did go to Bury he hoped they would say it was so long ego that they could not recol lect any thing about it. . . The detendant pleaded that the assault was first committed by the plaintiff: Mr. 11. J. Comma, for the defendants, contended that the story wan altogether improbable. and that the witnesnes all swore in con. ccrt, like soldier* who bad been well drilled, and were therefore unworthy of credit. On behalf of the defendants witnesses were called, attempting to prove that the assault was made by this plaintiff; who threw a glom of beer in the face of the defendant, Mrs. Rent; but 3lr.

The plaintiff in ti;ias.ct --- iirl,;thO; wish 51r. W. Tricker, was Churchwarden of the parish of St. James, in Bury, in the year 1811, sought to recover of the defendant die own of 251. being one twentieth part of the expenses paid by him in the reparation of St. James's Tower in that year. fhe action was brought against the defendant as otte of twenty persons who, on the Bth of July, 1811, authorised the Churchwardens, by their signatures to the vestry book, to do KWh repairs. The defendant pleaded first that he was not liable, and next that he had nut protnised within six sears. It was admitted that the plaintiff had raid the sum of 5051. but had received a moiety thereof of Mr. 1 ricker. Witnesses were then called to take the case out of the statute, by proving that the de fendant had intimated a wish that the business could be settled; and also by his answer to a 11111 in Chancery, but which was taken in the year 181 G. It appeared, however, that 251. was paid to Mr. Armstrong within two years. The Learned Judge advised a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to a case to be stated in the Court above, upon several points of law as to the original liability of the de. fondant, and upon the statute of limitations. We rejoice to learn that on the assembling of the Grand Juries, at our Assizes, a proposition was submitted to them, and unani mously adopted, for the extension to this county of the benevolent plan which originated in Norfolk, and was imitated in the metro polis, for the preservation of the Lives of Shipwrecked Seamen.

WATTS V. ■AIXEI. This cause excited some interest in Court, the parties being the conductors of the two leading political papers In this part of the country. Mr. BROUGHAM opened the pleadings. The declaration stated, that the defendant hadininted and published a certain label, of and concerning the plaintiff. Ples--General issue. Mr. SCARLETT said, that the plaintiff in this case, Mr. Aisne Watts, was the editor and conductor of the Leeds Islet ! Lipner?, and the defendant was the editor of the Leeds Aferesory. In most cases the disputes of rival editor were confined to remarks upon the respective limits of their own publications, and they in general contrived to settle the difference with their own weapons, without resorting to a duel to decide it. If Mr. Baines had, in this case, only done that which he had just stated to be the usual mode of newspaper attack—if he had only resorted to what was the ordinary anal every day practice—then, in all probability, he would have been allowed to continue his course without interru tion ; and the plaintiff and defendant, after having exhausted the battle with their pens, might have dined together, and amicably shaken hands. But when that ordinary course was departed from ; when the attack was not directed against any defect in literary corn- ' position, or error in political argument ; when the topics which were peculiar to newspapers were laid aside, and the attack was directed against moral character, and of ectml private life, then it became necessary to appeal to a jury to give to one party redress for the in jury already alone, and to teach the other such a lesson as might prevent a repetition of the offence. lie would shortly state to Glen the circumstance out of which the libel in question had arisen ; and they would see, in the first place, that the defendant had, in direct terms, adopted and circulated the libel : and, in the second place, that the course taken by the plaintiff had given to the defendant the completest upportt.nity of vindicating himself. Mr. Watts, the plaintiff, was not only known in !seeds as the editor of a news. paper, but he was also will known in the republic of letters, and enjoyed the esteem and good opiiion of many eminent and respec table persons. He had never, before he had the mistirtune of writ. ing fora newspaper, been subject to attacks upon his moral charac ter. Some time ago a person connected with a Mr. Swirea, a road maker, in Yorkshire, had sent an advertisement to the Leeds led 4cm:re, with a request that it should be inserted in five successive numbers. The advertisement had acconlingly been headed—" No tice to road-naakers," and had been inserted in three numbers ; but, between the first and finarth publication, a letter had been inserted at the Imtelligencer office, purporting to be sent by a Mr. Merry weed's r, an agent to the Leeds licrenry, at Skipton, and contain ing an advertisement, which the writer said it was the wish of Mr. Swircs to have inserted in the newspaper five times. This adver tisement also related to roads; Ma 4L\ it was in language totally dif. fertnt firm the advertisement which lad been betnre sent, the editor hal net conceived the last Advertisement to countermand the first, cod had therefore given insertioa to both. Mr. Merryweather huh th o ught lit to make an attack upon :Slr. Watts for doing so, and of that a:tack, be (Mr. Sesrlett) dial nut complain; but Ft , would road to them the observations which he, the plaintiff, had made upon that attack, in the n e xt publication of the I.crds lige:tees ; and they would dins be able to judge whether there was anything in those observations nu intemperate as to justify the att.ick which subsequently followed. The remarks were these— ( :dlr. Scarlett here read an extract from the Leeds Inielligencer, staling, that they had received al angry letter front an agent of the /weds dfeeeeey, fur a mistake which had occurred, not from any default of their own, but from the inadvertence of the individual in question.' This was the only provocation given by the plain ' till; and in the next number of the heeds ilfeecney. the editor bad avaiird himself of another earns to make the following attack upon Mr. Watts. The letter, in chi d e the attack was contained, GAS , addressed to the proprietors of the Leeds latelliincer, and signed er .• John Merrywenth." It was as follows: 3lr. Scailett litre nail the libel. It stated, that the editor of the .rails tuictligerwer could not help lying, even if he tried ; that he had reduced the paper through his own imprudence, impudence, and folly, to the , las: stage of a galloping consumption, and expressed the wonder , of the writer, that the proprietors should entrust their property to , such a person.( litre then was a charge, first, that the. plaintiff was see given to lying that he could not tell the truth ; lies, it aamnetl, i would tenable out even when truth was intended; then the p;ain.., , tiff was called a " wretch, whose imprudence, impudence, and foil. lisd redeeed the paper to a galloping consumption;" and, to complete the whale, it was dimmed to the plaintiffs employers, is order to rceoneile them to his services, a. , d to put them in a good humour with the man . to whom they wire pav rtg wages.— . Mr. Watts had not, in the first instance, suppo.ed that such an I attack could have proceeded from Mr. Baines; he had expected that it would, at least, be considerably softened down; and be bad, therefore, in company with a friend, welted upon Mr. Baines, and demanded the name of the author. Mr. 11.01 had replied, that the letter had been written by the individual whose signature was attached to it. Mr. Watts load then requested the manuscript, as it was clear, that without possession of it nu legal proceedings could be had against Mr. Merryweather. Mr. Baines had refused him before lie gave any answer to this second request. Perhaps he had waited to consult his Dictionary~ of the wiuile duty of an editor, before he decided the point. Upon a second visit which Mr. %Volts had made, in company with the battle friend, the request had been repeated, and Mr. Baines had then refused to give up the manuscript. This action hod therefore been brought against Mr. Haines, and it had been brought in such a way as to give hint a fair chance of justification, for be had now an opportunity of bringing forward his friend, Alr. Altrryweather, to prove the truth of these imputations which had been cast on die moral character of Mr. Watts. If Air. Merry. weather had been the defendant in this action, it would have been very easy to say that the defendant might know a thousand things against the plaintiff, but that lie could not prove them, because he could not be a wfuess in his own came. That excuse was taken out of the mouth of Mr. Baines, for he was now placed in the first situation in which a defendant could be placed, having had an op portunity of justifying, and calling Mr. Merry weather to prove the justilicatiun. isio justification. however, had been attempted. The only point which he had now to speak upon was the point of damages. The object of this action was not to pat money into , the packet of Mr. Watts. The office of editor of a newspaper was au office of great importance ; it was therefore highly necessary that an editor should be a man of honour and education. llc'e, ; then, could a man of education submit to a charge like that which had b.en made in the present tan, and the tendency of which was, entirely to shut him out of society ? Thomas Kay, examined by Mr. Posnocit—Proved that the de. Pendant is the editor of the Leeds Mercury ; that he accompanied i the plaintiff to defendant's house, and bean plaintiff ask for the manuscript ; that defendant pn'titteed a letter containing the al leged libel, signed by Alerryweather ; witness believed that the band-writing was Alerryweather's ; defendant refused to part with the letter, because be said that it was not necessary fur legal par. poses to give it up. Mr. (Vans did not ask for a copy. Cross-examined by Alr. WlLLtams—Witnen had been five yearsattached to the Iraclligracer ; the Irrielligeucrr is the leading paper on the right side, and the Mercury the leading paper on the wrung one (a laugh). Mr. Watts was on the best terms wi.h the proprtetots of the Irsidligexcer. My WILLIAMS—There has been warm work between then since Air. Watts became the editor of the Intrllioncer I—There las been a variance. Ut course .Ur. Baines began the battle, but did not the other hit too ? very naturally. •lr. Watts is an author 7—Yes. lo the poetic line ?—Yes. The alleged 116.1 waa then put in and read by 31r. Capes, the usuciate. Mr. Wt LLEs us—Gentlemen of the Jury,—ln this ease I have the honour to appear fur the detendant, who is, undoubtedly, oil his own admission, the proprietor and editor of the deal: Mercury, a newspaper of very considerable and respectable standing; and, as the CollOf of that paper, although on the wrong side of those politi cal questions which are agitated in public papers, he has uniftemly COOdUCted himself in such a manner, that, for a period of 23 years, he has been exempted front a single prosecution against hini, and loss never had occasion to resort to any fur himself ; he therefore finds himself now standing in a flotation perfectly novel. In truth, Gentlemen, 3lr. Balms, in undertaking the duty of an editor of a newspaper felt and saw that it was a situation of considerable importance. lie knew that it did not behoves mot who aunitipted to regulate public opinion, to expect to be as tree from the oleserva- buns of rival editors as if he had always abstained front public ob servation himself. He did imagine that, inasmuch as tne opinion of newspapers respecting public men and public measures must ne- • cessarily dither, this collision of those opinions would now and then give rise to espressiona of angry resentment. (In that round, therefont, he has always allowst such expressions to pass un heeded; and he has never placed the present plaintiff in the situation of a defe..dant, because he knew that any difference between them might be much better settled in • quarter to which reference has been al ready made,-1 mean in the numbers of the Imielligencer and the Mercury. (lentlemen, singular things do happen now and then : it must be true that the profession to which I belong gives rise to very singular connexions; for it, in any day or any night the image of my Learatd Friend opposite t3lr. Brougham) had ap. peared tunic identified in any one interest with the Leeds grater, I should have required to have dreamt the dream ten times over every morning before I attached to it the slightest credit. (A laugh.) It is a compliment to the profession (and lam glad to be able w compliment it, since l have, of late, been supposed to be wanting on that head), that private wrong can be forgotten—every sort of censure and animadversion forgotten—all be lost or suf. pended in the exercise of a public duty. Now, (lentlemen, as to the letter in question, die first observation that I will make upon it is, that it appeared in an advertisement ; my next observation will be, upon the subject of the letter. Mr. Baines had no more to do with that than you or I. A connexion, it seems, existed between a Mr. swirea, a superintendent of the roads, and, for aught that ap ars, a must respectable MIN and Mr. Merryweather. But Mr. Baines had no more to do with that connexion, or with the roads, than you have with the editorship of his newspaper. The letter found its way into his paper as an advertisement, with the contents •of a hich he bath nothing to do. But is that all ? It has been half insinuated that another name was assumed by the defendant, in or der to cover his insidious attack upon the editor of the batelliaen err. But it appears in evidence, that Mr. Merryweather, the auc tioneer, has been five or six years well known at the office of the hueffigeNees • his hand-writing was well known ; and the menu script of the letter, the very day it was published, was shewn to Mr. Ray and Mr. Watts ; and, although Mr. Baines did not think it necessary, for legal purposes, to give that letter up, he ne ver did refuse to be forthcoming to promote the ends of justice ; and if he had been asked for a copy, what evidence is there to thew that he would have refused it? Mr. Baines might very naturally suppose, that the possession of the manuscript was necessary to pro- ! tect hinmlf. Mr. Merryweather was to be found and was forthcom ing, but that would not do foe Mr. Watts. No! The newspaper rivalry was to be gratified ; a blow was to be aimed at those cus. ' tomtits who had been converted from the luminous tatelfigeueer by die mysterious, trifling, absurd, inconsistent reasoning of Mr. Baines. Can you doubt that the rancour of the poet was at work ? The plaintiff has told you that the libel tended to injure hint in the estimation of the !proprietors of the paper. But what is the evi dence ? Why that lie is on the best possible terns with theta.' Mr. Baines, Gentlemen, has maintained an increasing reputation, by abiding by his own opinion ; by shewing no change, but by • honestly and manfully expressing what he thought. Such • line of conduct will rends any person respectable : right or wrung, per severance will gain respect ; those opinions alone excite our con tempt which are adopted for the sake of some interested rise, or which shift with erery gale. But Mr. Watts, it stems, is a great literary character. lou will be pleased to be ar in mind that he is a poet, and as fiction is at all times the soul of poetry, he ought not to complain of the exercise of that talent for which the poets of all ages have had a licence. (A high.) It is not, Gentlemen, for the sake of justice this action is brought, but it is to gratify, by your verdict, a petty triumph; it is to gratify that spleen and resent ment of which the bosom of this Editor is so great a repository. Why did he not resort to the columns of his own newspaper ? Why did he not avail himself of that abuse in which he had before dealt so largely ? Why did he not retort upon Mr. Haines with all that exalted literature which he has to-day avowed ? Why did he not content himself with standing on the right side, by remaining afar off and exclaiming, 0 I ant thankful that I am not a Relnniier, not a Radical, not even as this Editor." (A laugh.) The object of the action is evident ; it is to enable hint, when beaten in argu ment, to turn round and say, " Oh, but look at the verdict at York." I trust, Gentlemen, that you will disappoint hint in that object, and that vou will join with me in opinion, that if he wanted damages he should have gone to the real author, whose !MOW was readily given up to him. lilt. Justice BATLEY summed up, and told the Jury that the plaintiff must haves verdict, but that the question of damages sou entirely for their consideration. The Jury consulted a few moments, and returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages Is. POLICE. MARY-LA-130NNE OFFICE.

(Witness, from the appear. once of the individual, suspected all was not right, and therctiwe he was lob to be circumspect in the business.) IVitness went out for the purpose, leaving the prisoner in the shop, when he met one of the city officers, to whom he communicated his suspicions, and desirol him to keep watch on the prisoner.

INQUEST ON COUNT SCIIULENBOURG. Yesterday afternoon, at half.past two o'clock, a most respect able Jury amembled at the One Tun Inn, Chandos.atreet, Covent garden, before T. If :cos, Esq. Deputy Coroner, to inquire into the ca3se a the death of the a bove-named distinguished Hanove rian. On the Jury being sworn they repaired to the Count's apart ments to view the btdy. On that return the following trice was entered into : . . Mr..lantes IVilres, wine-merchant, of Bishopsgate.street With out, stated, that he, about three weeks Pint*, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, was passing through Char.dos-street, when he perceived a flentkihan's carriage coining in the direction from St. 31a-tia's.lsne, and nearly at the same moment the deceased at. tempt, d, and indeed was crossing the road, and was knocked down by stthcr the pole or horses, which went over I • ,as did the lint wheel's. Wiutess called out, and the coachman immediately pulled up ; there were some lailies in the coach ; on the witness see tug him down, the hind wheels were very near his head ; he was instantly rele.sed, and was found to be insensible ; he was carried into the shop of Dr. Morris • the witness is of opinion not the slightest blame is attached to ;he coachman. Juror—Did you desire him to drive on ? Witness-31=1y to release the body ; the man seemed inclined ai to rem in ; he appeared shocked at the accident ; on giving his 1 =aces addnss he was suffered to proceed. Mr. R. Pilkington, of Chandra-street, pork-butcher, d.-posed,' , ' ' that at the same time and date described by the last witness he per cetved a gentkman's carriage driving along Chanclos-street, and at the same time the coachman's head was turned round to the right, and lie was making souse remarks to the footman ; the witness noticed this at the tittle, judging it most improper conduct ; within a very short space of time afterwards, hearing an outcry in the street, he ran out, and saw the carriage was stopped, and the de. ceased lying on the ground senseless ; he was instantly re moved. Juror—Pray. did you hear the obsenation the coachman made ? Witnera--I did not, Sir. Coroner—How far might the carriage have gone bcfore the acci dent. from the time of your first noticing it ? Witness—An extremely abort distance. I may say only five .- - Coroner—Did the deceased recover in your presenTe so as to make any observation Witness—No, Sir. On his being taken into Dr. Morris's, the Doctor was notch affected, and said. `• Dear me, the Count! he has only left my het .c five minutes." I had often observed the deceased, but . never knew his name before . . . . A Juror thought that all evidence of what he was and what was said was unnecessary, as they were only assembled to inquire into Neut. The Coroner said, that such questions generally led to material facts, and from such circumstances being inquired into the most important facts were frequently elicited. A ticatleman said, that it might be necessary for him to explain the cause, as lie had learned, of the coachman's turning round. He was driving to an eminent jeweller's, AI r.Ralter (uho had removed front his house near Charing-cross to the torner of the Adclphi), and on his turning into Chandosntreet, the footman called out to say he was going wrung, not knowing of the removal, wb:n he turned his head to say he was going in the right direction. Mr. Richard Kepi) deecribcd the accident in the same terms as the other witnesses, declaring not the slightest blame could be at. tached to the coachman. He thought the Count must have been knocked down by the near hone. John Field, Esq. of 49, Devonshire-street, Queen-square, saw the accident, and also declared no blame was at all imputable to the coachman. Evidence was here adduced as to the owner of the coach and horses, it appearing to belong to a Gentleman named Garrand. Mr. Thomas Alorris, surgeon, of Chandossstreet, said he had known the deceased Count for some years; he war above 30 years of age, and enjoyed very good health for his time of life ; on IGth March he was brought to the witness's house, covered with mud ; he, on examination, was found to have been wounded on the right temple; he was cleansed, arid the wound dressed; other surgeons were summoned ; he lingered until Tuesday, at twelve o'clock in the day, when he expired ; he had never recovered his senses, having t einained in a kind of stupor since the accident ; the wit ness attended him must unceasingly, and every possible attention was paid him; his death was causal by the accident, which pro duced a concussion on the brain. Leigh Thomas, Esq. surgeon, of Leicenterssquare, was then called, and Raid his opinion differed somewhat trim that of Mr. Morris, as the Count had been labouring under deafness, and had a seton in his neck, and several times had been cupped for a determis ation of blood to the head : these might have produced death ; and indeed this accitlent, accelerated by these circumstances, would have hastened his death, when in other cases a recovery might he possible. Mr. Sfelton, a juror, said, that this he thought was nct for the considtration of the jury ; it certainly almost daily appears that it takes more to kill some men than others ; the only qutatio u for them to consider was, whether the accident caused his death or not. Mr. TI am is.." Unquestionably, Sir, the accident caused his death ; but th me are cases, when speaking speculatively, in which the same a-rident might not have produced the same elf ect." A Juror now asked if the coachman was in attendance. The Coroner observed, that he other thought he could not be exaniii,cd in the present stage of the proceedings. The Juror then asked for the footman. The gentleman who had previously spoken said he had directed him to beta attendance. On inquiry, however, this turned out not to be the case, and some rumours were stated imputing the Count's death to un fairness. Mr. Salter, the jeweller, said, from what he had heard and seen, he was convinced the Count had unfortunately been accidentally killed ; every attention had been paid the Count that humanity and gentlemanly feeling could dictate, and money was directed to be drawn from the Bankers for his use; but it was unnecessary, as the Count's finances were those of a gentleman of fortune. The first surgical advice was summoned. Sir Astley Cooper, and other eminent surgeotis, were in attendance ; but he hoped the Jury, for the satisiacUon of themselves, would make the fullest inquiry, as it was desired by all parties. A Juror thought it very strange that the footman had not made his appearance. The Gentleman again said he had ordered him to attend, and to remove every impression that it might be supposed he had pre vented him, he should take care that the man should appear when, and as often as the Jury pleased. The Jurors generally expressed their conviction that this was the fact, and were about cooling to a derision, when Mr. Skelton said he should like to have the Coroner's opinion on the evi dence. The Cononea said it certainly did not impute any felonious act to the coachman ; it only, at the utmost, attached carelessness to him ; therefore he was ef opinion they could only make the case one of acc , tlent ; hut as the death of a human being was caused by a coach and horses, they became forfeited to the King : and he really thought, as the affair was an unfortunate casualty, they could not justly forfeit the property of a private individual, but might place such a deodand upon them as would meet the case fairly. tlr. Skelton said, all he wished was to check, if possible, such careless driving; and he could not give his opinion as a man un less he had the footman in attendance, fur examination. Ills an. sence looked very disrespectful to the Jury, and he really thought they could not discharge their duty fairly to the public and the friends of the lientictuan deceased, by deciding at present, with out further inquiry. Atter scone further conversation, the Inquest was adjourned until this afternoon, at three o'clock. CORONER'S INQUEST. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. On Tuesday niilttWrariieatwaa .-. WWlVtlie Lion and Lamb public-house, Lewisham, before J. C Esq. Comfier for Kent, on view of the bodies of Henry and Thomas Large (two brother.), who were burnt while confined in the cage at Lewisham on Tuesday morning. The Jury proceeded to view the bodies, which lay in the stables of the lion and Lamb, and presented the most horrid spectacle that can be possibly imagined; scarcely an inch of flesh was on the bones but was scorched in a cinder. A shilling, sixpence, half penny, and farthing, which had been found in the cage, were also exhibited, which, while in the pockets of one of the deceased, were burnt quite black. Various reports had been spread relative to the cage being set on fire, which created a great sensation in the neigh bourhood. The jury -room was crowded with pawns of respect ' ability. - - Mr. Can'tran observed to the Jury, that one of the deceased had been commrted by Mr. Constable, the Magistrate, to the cage, for throwing vitriol on two gowns, the property of his fellow-ter rant, Vary l.onghurst, but not on the person. James Pople, conductor of the Bow-street patrol in the Syden ham district, deposed, that by virtue of a warrant signed by Mr. Constable, he apprehended Henry Large on Friday evening. He was charged with throwing vitriol over two gowns belonging to Mary Longhurst, who, as well as self, was in the service of Hiss Brookes, who keeps an academy at Sydenham. Witness (pave him into the custody of Lund, a patrol, to be lodged in the cage at Lewisham. 'This witness went to view the bodies, but they wire in such a dreadful state that he could not identity Henry Large. William Lund, a patrol, stated, that Henry Large was given into his custody by the last witness, on Saturday. Ile took him l on that day before Mr. Constable, by whom he was remanded back to the cage until Tuesday, when he was to be taken before the Bench, at Omens ich, and it was expected he would have been dis charged. Thomas Burchepp, hostler to the Lion and Lamb, deposed, that from the contiguity of the inn to the cage, the keys were kept there for convenience ; he locked theduceaseti Henry up. when the last I witness brought hint in custody on Saturday, and since then witness I supplied hint with the county allowance, and a truss of straw to lie upon. On Monday he complained of being nearly starved with cold, and begged witness to l e nd hint some money to buy coals ; he in consequence supplied him with some ; and of that night his bro. thtr 'Thomas was admitted to him, to keep him company all night. About two o'clock in the mornin g whoess heard cries of " 3lur der !" proceeding front the cage ; and having dressed himself, and obtained the assistance of the watchman, they found the rage en veloped in names. The cage door was then opened, and Thomas was lying at the door, burned to death. Ile and sonic others went in and brought out Henry, also dead, and lying under the seat. Witne.s did not take any pipes, tobacco, or candle into the cage. j Ile did not conceive there seas any four.dstion for the rumour that they Mot intentionally set tire to the straw. John Abbott, a watchman. stated, that about two o'clock on 'Tuesday morning, lie heard the try of " Fire !" and on going to the cage, he saw it in Harms. l'hoinss Large was at the window, I crying must pitifully, " Ott, Lord ! save me ! nave the :" Wit. nes, requested him to keep his bead. to the window unt il h e coul• obtain the keys: having got them, he atteerpted to enter, but H limes prevented him ; but in a short time lhoulas wax got ow ,he then ran for a doctor, not knowing that any other perm was ;!. the cage, and when he gut back, Henry had been b roug h t out. they were both dead. James low* (*pact!, that when the dear was opened th, watchman went in first, and he followA, Isyi:g hold of coat; in the way they grupcd about until chey r eac h e d T L. males hand, which was in an extended position. It w..s tam. minutes before Ilenry was gut out, not knowing that two sons were there. _ _ The Jury returned a verdict, " That the dcetased person s di re by auffucation produced by the ignition of the straw." The Jury expressed their decided opinion that th e li ves o f Ilk two unfortunate persons had been uacri liced to the watt of a mem awry building in which prisoners might be kept. THE ENGLISH SPY. (Sherwood and Jones, Paternoster.rnw.) A lively and attractive work, in numbers, c.llcd The Est,lie,l Spy, has just been put into our hands. it is illustraied by severs! admirably-colour Al designs by the inimitable Cruilcshank, with numerous wood engravings. The scenes drawn from real lde an represented by striking portraits of ees cntric and well-km -e n victuals in high life, or otherwise distir.guished, and weli known in this great metropolis. The work has some pointed 'axles. sad contains anecdotes and striking notices of a number of living du. ratters of leading notoriety. The writer is evidently well acquainted with the habits of Eton, Oxford, and-Cambridge, and his details are enlivened, as he proceeds, with haPpit' t 01 " , d some excel. lent anecdotes. The work is beautifully t ees, arid pit out o f hands in the first style. Some of the ustratione are excel. lent : the one at Oxford representing the unexpected descent of a fair visitor from one of the college windows, to the dismay a! the fallen rector, pis moat laughable. The Eton scene is Ali' a very good; it represents the school yard at Eton, at the time Ent absence is called, and just when the head muter is reviewing the upper school; a most laughable view of the green-mom at the Sing% Thome is also given ; it is however somewhat too much of th: "extravaganza," but sketched with infinite spirit; *trend eleg ant vignettes also distinguish this work ; the entire execution of trot h is admirable ; hut the literary part wants the point and abihiy , bat distinguishes The El em.*, a work of infinite merit, bit mer e unFr.ttendingly brought out than this &union e publication, which even in this day of t ittended competition, bids high, from in lE. tractions, for a decisive superiority. TIIE PIMLICO BRITISH A VD SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIETY. Oo Tuesday evening, a numerous meeting of Ladies and Gentle men, connected with the above Society, was held at the school. house, adjoining Iluckingluun Chapel, Palace-street, Pimlico. Tie Rev. Dr. Collyer in the Chair, who was supported by several gm d . amn and reverend divines. After the Chairmen had (rated tie object of the meeting, the Secretary read aloud a long report d the last year's proceedings, from which it appeased that the contn. butions had greatly increased from the preceding one. Ile children also were increasing in number, and they amounted on the Present occasion to no less than five hundred, who were daily instruced in their education and morals of religion gratm toady i it was acted that numbers had left in consequence of removals by their parents to a distance, tut that deficiency had been supplied by other applications, and many ware now wait. ing to be admitted. The Report enumerated a considerable ex. pense the Society had incurred in the distribution and gift s , as re. wards : yet, independent of all, the funds were increasing ; and the Report further stated, that during the last year two subscrip. Lions, one of 1(11. arid another of hi had been added to the lid. (Applause.) The Secretary then concluded by calling over the names of the ladies and gentlemen who had tendered their services gratuitously in the education of those children, and who, it ap. peered, tit a pleasure in so doing. Several Gentlemen then addressed the meeting, among whom was the Her. Ingram Colville, the Rev. John Morrison, the Her. Mr. Miller, and Mr. Elton, in very appropriate speeches, on this h4lily praiseworthy occasion. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Chairman, Se cretary, &c. &c. '1 he meeting then dissolved. A liberal subscription was collected at the door. ST. DUNSTANS IN THE WEST. POOR RATES. A very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St. Dunstan's in the West assembled on Tuesday, at the Inquest-room, Clifford'. Inn passage , for the pu r po s e o f taking into consideration the Punt Hates, and the accounts in relation thereto. Mr. ‘Vst. 11 uuti Es was called, virtu& DAM (senior church. warden', to the chair. A warm discussion took place as to the prudence of admitting our reporter to the inquest-room. Messrs. FAR Low and Bnowxx strongly inculcated the necessity of withholding nom the public the state of parties in St. Dun. stan's pariah. 'l'hey uiodestly disclaimed all literary merits, and the public, they humbly conceived, could find nothing peculiarly delightful in the perusal of so uninteresting a diwussson as they anticipated. The CHAIRMAN observed, that " it was fOf those who loved darkness rather than light" to shrink from public observation. On the score of literary attainments no one had aecusrd the gentlemen. The disclaimer was therefore unnecessary. The public, however, narrowly watched their proceedings, and the detection and exposure of jobbing in one parish had not unfrequently the effect of pre venting it in another. (Hear.) lie was of opinion that the subject betbre them was important to the parish, and he saw no ream f. r thinking that it should be withheld from the pitblic. (Hear} Mr. Itastsitsw then addressed the Chair, contending that the large demand made on the parish of St. Dunstan's teethe relief of the poor required consideration. He wished to know why the ex penses of the parish woe greater than those of the pariah of St Clements, which was much larger, and supported more poor. 1 he gentleman, after sonic other observations on the necessity of inquiry, suggested that all books, papers, &c. connected with the parish expenditure fur the last 20 years, should be strictly ' examined. ------- MILES was then requested to read the balance-sheet, which he did. Mr. BROWN then rose, and rather loudly declared that Mr. Mills wan guilty of piracy, for that he had copird that paper (the balance.aheet) worn a similar one he had at his house. A great confusion then arose, which lasted fur a considerable time, during which period Mr. Brown's voice was pre-eminent. Mr. Baow w proceeded, and said he would prove that no man ever supported the poor of this parish cheaper or more to their as. tistaction and comfort, than he did while he was overseer (a laugh); he supported them for less than half the sum Mr. Warwick had obtained, who was one of his predecessors. A gentleman here exclaimed—" Yes, we know you ; you're a charitable churchwarden, you killed a ram at Christmas, and gars the horns to the poor." (Laughing.) Mr. Baow )I—Am Ito be interrupted—ant I to be laughed at' Have I left my shop to be made sport of by every discontented parishioner ? Is Mr. liantshaw to be permitted to make charges, and shall I not be heard in reply ? (( rtes of "Go on.") Mr. Kamilla, had said that the demands of the parish were enormous. I will tell him why they are enormous. The parish was involved in debt by our late predecessors. Mr. Brown continued in the same strain for some time, and concluded by lauding his conduct and that of his colleagues. Mr. l'ionsTox pointed out the alarming deficiencies in the col lection of the rates, and contended, that without a satisfactory es planstion of the parish accounts for sever 4 years, it would bs impossible to come to any other conclusion than that there had been serious frauds committed in the application of the funds. Ths speaker, in a manly and forcible strain, called for inquiry ; and concluded with moving fur the appointment of a committee to examine into the expenditure of the parish for the last 20 years. This motion was seconded; but, after some noisy speaking, Mr. BENSLEY proposed, as an amendment, that the thanks of the Meeting should be given to the overseers, who, for the last two years, had so well discharged their duty. Mr. 1 - 02670 W wished to reply, but he was not permitted to do so, and the amendment was carried by a large majority, and the motion for inquiry consequently lost. CORN EXCHANGE, ltitiacx 31. We have had but few fresh arrivals of any grain this morning. Superfine Whtat was scarce, and full as dear as on Monday, but for the interior qualities it is impossible to find buyers. FiDs malting Barley was in request, and the turn dearer than on Alan day. Last clay's prices were readily obtained for Oats, and, in some instances, a trifle more. Beans and Peas sold on much the same terms. /, rya - TI earii JA biota Or Bloc dale St him the d aatlO Ti, Nom shop T' 1,7q0 viz. ii kosix Foe halls HOC on an — Cit at hi Tom ]o►en give o, A' iT) Th names - iii; for H JOHI 1, Ed, P' tiTzims rotabi rufact No. 2 addra fmitu W. troaee TM% Stem N. 13 ilog their a Ala No. 2, Old FA per 'th have, twine 1 who m with tl and at Nal Sup (}CI3I P' prime other 1!
