FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. [This liautte contains a despatch from IBrigrulicr•Genual Sir Archibald Campbell, dated at Rangoon, Jan. 14, stating the parti. entire of an attack on the Fort of Syriam. The following is the mte.:rial portion of Sir A. Campbell's despatch :—" On the morn ing of the I Ith I detached a small force against Syrians Fort, con sisting of 200 men from his Mtsjesty's 47th regiment, with a de tachment of 'rumen and marines from the royal navy and the Eon. Company's flotilla, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel ilbring , m, with orders to scour that part of the country as far as Syriam Pagoda of any enemy to be met with. The Lieut.-Colonel, • ID the cotirse of a few hours, came before that fort, and the bridge Ryer the Nullah, leading to it. Front the landing place haring • , en broken down, much labour and some delay were occasioned in repairing it, during which the enemy from behind the works kept up a smart and well.directed fire on the head of the column, which caused some loan; but no sooner were the troeps able to cross, than they rushed on, and gallantly carried the place by storm. The Lieut.-Colonel afterwards went on to the Syriam Pagoda, also found to be occupied by a small force of the enemy, who fled after the discharge of one volley, and seeing the British troops rush on to the assault." By the return of killed and wounded which fol lows this account, it appears that one officer, Llnsign J. 31. Geddes, was killed, and three officers wounded—Captain Forbes severely. but not dangerously; Captain Backhouse and Ensign Macleod slightly. The loss in men was one killed, 31 wounded. Sir A. Campbell states in his despatch of the I Sth of January (notwith standing the late to:al defeat of the Burmese), that the enemy were collecting another army to attack Rangoon. ] Whitehall, June 9, 1825.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SATU Jusm 11. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. The King's warrant was read, commanding two or more of the Judges of this Court to sit at IVestmioster, from the 26th of June to the sth of July. inclusively, and from the 30th of October tb the sth of November, inclusively, in the ensuing vacation, for the des ' patch of Toren Milanese remaining in sneer. eatanenv r. ARTHUR. This was an action of trespass for f l ue imprisonment, with a count for a common aetetilt. Pleas-1. Nut Guilty; and, 2. A justification. New assignment for excess. Pleas to the new as signment—l. Not Guilty; end, 2, A justificatioe, and issue thereon. At the trial before the Lewd Chief Justice, at the Sittings after last Trinity Term. the case was in subetanoe this:—ln July, 1614, the defendant, being an officer in the Seventh Wert India Regiment, was appointed by General Fuller. Commander-in-Chief of Jamaica, as Superintendent of the Settlement at Ilenduras, a dependency of that Isleed, and continued to hold the appointment in 1820, when the transaction in question took place. The Seventh West India Regiment was disbanded in 1815, when the defendant becime entitled to half-pay; but, in August, 1816, the regiment was again embodied, and SO3l afterwards the defendant changed his situation, and became Lieutenant-Colonel of another regiment, aided the York C hasecu re, but hail not joined Lis regiment. During his appointment of Supeeintendent at Honduras, he exercised the supreme military command of that Settlement. On the 23th of Auguet, the York Chasseurs were elleber.ded. but the de fendant received his toll pay until the 25th of October in that year, after which period he was on half-pay. The.plaintiff, Major Brad ley, was ENO d in command at Honduras, in 1820, and claimed to exercise the supreme command, in consetinerce of an opinion en tertained that the defendant, being only a half-pay officer, his mili tary career had ceased, and therefore he had no authority over the forces. The defendant having issued an order, commanding the plaintiff to emend him at the Government House with the other officers under h's command, the plaintiff refused to comply, and thereupon the defendant placed him first in close arrest, and after ' wards in arrest at large, until the case eras reported to the Cam mander-in-Chief. For this imprisonment the present action was brought, and the question at the trial was, whether the appoint_ ment of the def.ndant as Superintendent of the Settlement, whilst be was only on hell-pay, gave him military supremacy, and set,_ jetted the plaintiff to his compete]. It was admitted that a halt= pay officer is not subject to martial law : but, on the other hand, it was proved by Col. Torrecs, Sir 11. Taylor, and other military officers, that; according to the usage and custom of the army, a half-pay officer is competent to receive a military appointment similar to that in question, and, upon his being appointed, becomes, facto, a military centmander, and atuenable to martial law. It watt also proved that General Fuller bad appointed the defendant to the supreme military command of all the forces, regular or other wise, in the Settlement, ant. that the detendant had been recogaised by the Commander-its-Chief at home as the supreme military com mander. Upon them facts the defendant founded his first plea of justification, anti the Lord glue* Justice being of opinion that the plea was made out, the de dent had a verdict upon that issue.— 'Jut upon the plea of justification to the new aosignment, which alleged that the plaintiff had been detained longer under arrest than was necessary, the Learned Jude deli the case to the Jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 100 L In slichaelmas Term, Mr. Brougham obtained a Rule Nisi for a new trial. on the ground that the defendant's first plea of justification was not made out. • Tile ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. GURNEY, and Mr. PAVES now showed, and contended that the evidence being all one way upon the first plea of justification, it was quite decisive to show that the defendant was entitled to exercise the command which the plaintiff had resisted. Asa half-pay officer merely, the defendant would not be suds jest to martial law, but as he was qualified to re. ceive the appointment of Superintendent of the Colony in question, the moment he obtained his appointment he became entitled to ex ercise the supreme command, and was, to all intents and purposes, a military commerder. il'hilet his half-pay was going on, he might not he entitled to promotion in the army, but that would not Erevent him item receiving military appointment from General Fuller. A mere civilian could not take a supreme military corn. nand —but it could not be said that a half-pay officer was a civilian. His character of Mauer might be consinered as remaining in abey ance for the purpose Of promotion, but by receieing half•pay be did not altogether throw off his military responsibifity. He was liable at all times to be. called out into actual service, and the moment he wan called out he became liable to martial law. The question in this case could only be derided by the usages and customs of the army, and no persons could he better informed upon the subject than the distinguished officers who had been examined on the trial, all of whom gave it as their opinion, that it was competent to the defendant, whilst on half-pay, to hold the appointment in ques. Lion; and upon being appointed, he had the right of supreme command in the colony. It would be said oat the other side— first. that General Fuller had no authority to appoint the defen dant to the supreme command of Honduras ; and second, that he had not, in fact, appointed him. The answers to these pro.. positions were—first, that according to the usage of the army, it was as competent to the General to appoint the defendant to the command of this dependency, as to choose his own aides-de camp, appoint the commander of a fort, or select any officer for a place of trust under a Colonial Government ; and, second, that, in point of fact, the defendant's appointment had been re cognised by the Government at home ; anti the War Office had corresponded with him in the character of Superintendent of the Colony. Air. Baotou...et (with whom was Mn. J. Evans), in support of the rale. contended, first. that the defendant, by reason of his being only on half-pay, was incapable of taking the supreme mili tary command of the settlement ; and second, that he had not been, in fun legally appointed to the command. As to the first point, he insisted that a half-nay officer is to all intents and purposes a mere civilian, and is no more liable to military control than any man who wears a black or a brown coat. That was decided in General Rona' case, in 1786. Half-pay is only a reward fur past, and is not a retainer for future services. It might be true, that half-pay officers are liable to be called out intoactual service, but where was ! the authority to compel them to cane? There was none; the Crown might, indeed, stop their ball-pay, but that was all. They could not be subjected to any military punishment for not coming, any more than the Attorney General himself, who, even t h ough. a Genera?. and liable to be called out, was not bound to come out. (Much laughter.) It was idle, therefore, to say that a half-pay officer was any thing more than a civilian ; and if so. then even, according to the legal opinions pronounce/ by the military officers on the mid, the defendant was not qualified to hold a supreme mi litary command. But secondly, assuming his capacity to hold such a situation, was he legally appointed, in point of fact ? lie would assert broadly, that General Fuller had no authority to give such an appointment. None but the King could delegate to another the su preme command over the lives and fortunes of others. Even until the Statute 13 and 14 Charles IL c. 3. the King himself could not ticiegate supreme military command to another. The East India Company, even, have no power to delegate supreme military com mand over their settlements; nay, even the Lord High Admiral has no power to delegate each authority to Officers of the Navy, ac cording to the 2,1 %Vial:an and Mary, cottlrmed by the 22d Geo. II A maito minus, then, the Commander-in-Chief at Jamaica had no power to delegate supreme command to another in any depend. ency of that Wand. After urging these two propositions at consi derable length, and whit his usaal ingenuity, the Learned Counsel contended that the defendant's plea of justification had not been made out. and therefore there ought to be a new trial. Mr. EVANS was proceeding to follow on the same side, but at the desire of the Court he reserved his argument to a future day. HABEAS CORPUS. . Mr. F. POLLOCK applied to tieCuilitiOr a rule to show cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue for the party, and a cr:;orati be directed to certain 31agiatrates in tho county of Lan caster, to show cause why a female had been committed by two of the said al strafes to hard labour for twelve calendar months, upon the affidavit of a parallel overseer, that die woman had a bastard child which might become locally chargeable. The warrant of the Alagistrates was issued on the 211 April, 1825, and the child was born so far back as November, 1820, wnd had never be come, or was likely to become chargeable, being supported by the reputed father; and yet, by virtue of an Act of Parliament, which they supposed to apply to such arse, had the 51agistrates committed this poor woman to bard labour for twelve months. .51r. Justice BAILEY asked, whether the woman had subse quently been charged with bastardy, after the birth of the child alluded to ? Mr. F. PoLLoce admitted, that she had since had two bastard children. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICZ--." But upon what legal ground do you aPpif here ? Whet facts have we before us, by depositions Or tal.erwise, to enable us to act' You know we cannot cuter into the merits of the case; all we want is to see the legal bearings of the application—What ore they ?" Mr. F. Po•Locx—This poor woman is certainly in the unfor tunate situation of living. with a man, by whom she has had these children ; but we deny they are chargeable upon the parish, for the father hat offered full gecurity against that ; therefore we say, she is not punishable by the summary process of these Magistrates. The LORD Clove' JUSTICE—fIow can we interfere, be she unfortunate or not, without kavirg before us legal grounds? Have you applied for the depositions taken before the Magistrates? Jr. F. Pot.Locx—NVe do not believe that we can get them, except through the medium of an application to this Court. The Lout) CHIEF JUSTICE-1 mit apply for them. Mr. Justice Bat Lt Y—We must see the Act of Parliament,,, well as the depositions: for though the children may not be charge able upon the parish, yet the Act may apply to a certain extent to punish cases ranted bonus more,. The LORD CHIEF Juts TICE—The o,etfller has sworn the pari,h to be liable to the charge; he has demanded a warrant, and the Magistrates have acted upon that warrant. You must show, on the face of the proceedings, where the illegality (if any) has occurred. Mr. F. POLLOCK promised to apply foe a copy of the warrant, and of thedepoaitiona taken before the Magistrates. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Mr. Brio', 0111114 moved w hive the rule enlarged, in the case THE BRITISH PRESS of the Portuguese libel against the Marquis of Palmellft, which he had mentioned a few days sgo,so as to include the name of Rev , mud* Rod, who had avowed himself to be the author, since pro ceedings had been had against the publisher.—Rule granted. The Court rose at half-past four o'clock. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, SATVIIDAT, Jinni 11. The Court was occupied nearly the whole mutt ir.g in hearing a special case, of no public interest. The question was as to the right of presenting to s living, and in the course of the dii:ussion it was stated that a lay person mi4ht be a Prebend, as the King was one of the Prebends of St. Darla's. The CIIIET Jesittee observed, that the King, as bead of the Church, was a spiritual person. lilts Lordship having afterwards observed that a person could be a Cardinal without being installed, Mr. Ser g eant VAIIIMAW—I wish I was a Cardinal, my Lord, I would not be toiling here now. (A laugh.) The CIIIET J t; STICE, observiiig the dress worn by the Sergemits, which was ofpurple cloth, on account tof this being St. Daman/is' day, said—ll hy, brother, you are nearly so, for you are clothed in purple. Mr. Sergeant VAITGnAx, looking at the Court. replied—Your Lordships are much nearer being Cardinals than I am, since you are clothed both in scarlet and purple. Mr. Sergeant VAEGIIAE for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant D'Or LEY for the defendant, haring each argued that the client of the other had no right to present, Mr. Sergeant llosanQUET, who appeared for the Crown, said that he was perfemly satisfied with their joint arguments, as the right then vested in the King, for whom he had the honour to appear. SCOTT v. HECTOR OREIC. Mr. Serjeant WILDE moved for a rule to show cause why the tro lley paid out dentin in this cause should not be paid in again. The plaintiff witsgardenez Whir Thomas Maithind,and the defendant was 'gentleman who held an otli cial situation in one of the lonian Islands. in July last, the defendant being about to leave for England, in consequence of his ill state of health, the plaintiticalled wan him to pay a debt of 14!. due to Sir Thomas Maitland, for fruit, vegetables, &e. supplied out of Sir Thomas' garden.

JEST, This was an action to recJver the value of a leathern trunk and of Mme articles contained in it, which the plaintiff alleged had been left under the care of the defendant for the purpose of being convey ed to Sidcup, in Kent, at which place two of the plaintiff's sons were at school. It appeared that the defendant was the keeper of the Spotted Dog in the Strand, and was in the habit of receiving parcels of every descrintion for the coaches and errand carts which called at his house. The plaintiff's witne%ses 'were, that on Satur day, the 26th of Match last, they delivered the trunk in question at the house of the defendant, for the purpose of being conveyed tei Sidcup, and that they paid two-pence for booking a , . Evidence TIM called for the defendant. to prove that it was always customary to enter and describe the parcels in a book : that this had never been brought to that house, and the book, having been before pro duced at the plaintiff's desire, no such entry or description was found in it. Witnesses were examined in reply, to show that the defendant had admitted receiving the trunk. The CIIIEF JUSTICE left the whole CISe to the Jury, wbo found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Gl. SHERIFFS COURT, RED LioN-sciumtz, JUNE 11. moreirase, BY 1115 NEXT FRIEND DAVIS V. ARMSTRONG. This was an inquiry before the Under-Sheriff, to assess damages for an injury susntioed by the plaintiff', in consequence of the de fendant having wilfully driven his cart over his body. Mr. A/et:mews was Counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Anot- PHUS for the defendant. It appeared, that in December, 1823. the defendant, who is a master baker, residing at Fulham, was driving his cart between Hounslow and Fulham, and drove against the plaintiff, a boy about II years or age, and he was confined to his bed some days in conse quence. It was stated that the near wheel of the cart passed over his body. The clerk of Mr. Platt, the attorney for the plaintiff, stated, that when he went to serve the notice for the Inquiry upon the defen dant, he was exceedingly violent, and threatened to put him in his oven. The surgeon who attended the boy proved that his bill amounted to 21. 35., and that the father of the boy had recovered in an action for the loss of his son's services thesurn of 31. Mr. AnoLeitt:s characterised this as an attorney's action, merely for the sake of the costs. If the defendant had put the at torney s clerk in his oven, and roasted hint, he would have lost his reputation as a baker entirely. for he never could have mad so bad a bit of meat in his oven. (Laughter.) The costs of the former action amounted to about one hundred pounds, and he hoped the Jury would give the smallest coin, and tl.en the defendant would, unfortunately, have to pay the costs on each side.

We have, since our last publication, been furnished with &state ment of ;additional circumstances attending the death of this la mented gentleman, whose character for charity and benevolence was highly estimated in his neighbourhood. An inquest was held on Sa turday, at Ballinacarriga, by J. Cox, Esq. one of the County Coro ners, in presence of a number of magistrates and gentlemen from the vicinity. Amongst the former were John Waller, Esq. of Castletown ; Briton IValles, Esq. of Busby Island ; Edw. Fitz gerald, 'Esq. of Backfield; and Thomas P. Yokes, Esq. Chief Magistrate of Police. A most respectable Jury was impannelled, when, after an anxious and patient investigation, a verdict of Wil ful Murder was returned against P. Kirby, alias fererick, aided by Margaret Dillon, who were both secured by the exertions of chief constable Laurenson of that district, to whose unwearied zeal and activity, in conjunction with Captain Baldwin and Messrs. Hill, of Alount-pleasant, the magistrates are much indebted. The two prisoners were on Sunday . committed to the county gaol, to abide their trial at the ensuing twice. Kirby is a very ill ' looking fellow, and a man of notoriously bad character in the country—but the woman is rather of an engaging person, and handsome features. Her appearance, in fact; is altogether pre. possessing. A mutual attachment was ascertained to have existed between both for some moths previous to this dreadful crime. The actual scene of the murder is represented as truly fright fuL Mr. Hurst was found prostrate on his back, in a thick coppice adjoining the house, his head shockingly mangled, and the bones of the skull literally best ins the grass around him was horribly disfigured, and red again with a profusion of clotted blood and detached parts of the brain His hat, cane, watch, and keys, lay at his side. To this secluded part of the plantation it is now perhaps to) well known, the infatuated victim of female duplicity was Intentionally allured by the arts of the woman, ilargamt Dillon, and there the assassin came upon unawares, and inflicted those deadly blows with a hatchet which produced such effect. Kirby was known to have had this weapon. and it was found in his house the day subsequent to the murder, clean and recently washed; the blunt end of it, on application to the head, fitted the wound exactly. At the Inquest he was brought forward to see and touch the body, to observe whether it would make any impression on him, but not in the slightest degree did it produce the wished-for effect; and he conducted himself on the occasion with the most perfect indifference. Kirby was in custody last Assizes for a rape, but bills were only found for an assault; and he was also charged with stealing two sheep from Mr. Hurst. By a further investigation before the Magistrates on hlonday, it was satisfactorily proved that this diabolical outrage was concerted some months ago, and 1.113 t it emanated from a conspiracy, in which the pyjamas were ascertained to be principals. The shock sustained by the afflicted family and immediate rela tives of Mr. Hurst cannot well be described . ; suffice it to say, that the dreadful catastrophe has inflicted a deep mental wound upon one of thas family. already suffkring under a painful illness.— Limo f'hroaide of Walrirday. POLICE. GUILDHA I.L. On Saturday judgment was given nu the important question be tween the publicans and spirit.deslem on one side., and the venders of British wines on the calve. as to whether the lacer are qualified to retail tliMr gnne.,: in small ouantities. In the course of' last winter ft 11r. Ai rains opened a ;hop bear Newgate-market, for the ssle of Briti , ll wines, in small quantities, and the fame his hot elderberry wire soon acquired, goaded the spirit-dealers in the neighbourhood to make an effort to extinguish this eye-core; aid after a series of defeats, succeeded yesterday in getting a decision in their favour. Mr. Alderman 'fhompso:, said, the whole matter might be compressed into, Ist, whether elderberry wine is at ex. ei•eable liquor. and, 2d l y, whether the del...odant had sold it with out being ;:c...msed according to law. These two points, he was of opinion, me evidence adduced had fully established. 1.71)00 the authority of the " King v. Dowrs," and " v. Drake." It was quite clear that to sell legally, by eetail. any exciseable liquors, it was necessary that the parry should be furnished with a Magistrate's license. This the defendant had not, and he there fore convicted him in the penalty of 101. and 201. costs. This being the first ()Came. the full penalty was not enforced. 31r. Harmer, for Mr. Malin, entered into recognizance' to appeal. Two fellows. named Thomas Bright and John IViMante, were fully committed for stealing a case. containing WI. worth of cotton stockings, one of the passage of 31r. Lignin a. lave-lane, Wood street, about six o'clock on Friday evening. The robbery was im nicliately discuvered, and the pretonns pursued and overtaken. BOW-STREET. SwiNnt.tx<l.—On Saturday Rohe, t Waters, • young min of respectable appearance, was brought up in custody, on a charge of . . . . . . . 31r. Till, a woollen-draper, stated, that in the heginninfi of April the prisoner came to him and said he had recently com menced business as a tailor, and wished to purchase cloth on the rascal credit, adding. that he bad served his time to a person of the name of Hunter, at Lynn; that his father was a termer near Lynn ; thset he had lately married a tin oehter of Alr. Springfield, a fanner, at Yarmouth, and had received two hundred pounds as part of her portion, and was soon to receive oil hundred pounds more: and also referred Mr. Till to two persons. rained Hawes and Eddington, for the truth of his statement. Mr. Till inquired of both then persons, and received the most satisfactory account of his new customer= to whom, in consequence, he gave emi tat different times to the amount of leof. In consequence of a person in Mr. Till's employment :laving seen the prisoner coming out of a shop kept by a person notorinnsly connected with thieves, move strict inquiries' were made, and it was ascertained that the primmer had not served his time to Hunter, that his father did not reeide where he said, nor war he married to the person's daughter he mentioned; nor bad he any appearance of carryirg on any tininess. The prienner, in his defence, raid, ho had bought the goods on credit, and they should be peed for when ire credit was expired. lie was remanded. WOILSII I P-STREET. STAGE-COACH IXTOIMATIONS. — On Saturday, - Tho roughgrod, driver of a stage-coach to Ongar, in Enna, attended before Mr. Teener oan, the Magistrate, on an information lodged against him by Johnson, the informer, for having, nn the 29th ult. at Staple Torncy, one passenger more than allowed by Act of Par liament. The case had been partly heard last week, when John Byers, the infermer's witness , swore that there were eleven outside pease:igen besides the coachman and a child. The coachman admitted that there were eleven pentane outside, inclttdieg a child at the mother's brevet. which was not chargeaiele. He then begfed for an adjourn ment of the case, pledging himself re bring torward evidence to rebut that of the informer's witness. His request was granted, and on Saturday he again appeared, acconurenied by several persons who were psasenpers by his coach ea fen day mentioned, and ernfrealonnlly attended by Mr. Church. The case having been called on, Johnson requested that all the wimenes mightavithdraw, except the one under examination. This was assented to, and Abe Twviord observed, that the in former's case had been fully heard on the former occasion ; and he had departed front the usual mode of proceeding in such cases by adjourning it after the informer's case had been made out, which he was induced to do, in order to afford every possible opportunity for investigating the merits of the case, which had been positively sworn to on one side, and as positively contradicted by the de fendant. Mr. Church said lila client bad, at a considerable expense, brought forward such evidence as sou rarely xenon sock occasions. Mr. John Wood, a respectable solicitor residing in Southampton. street, Strand, was then sworn, and stated, that on the 25th May he was en outside passenger by the coach driven by the defendant. He took his seat on the box with the coachman :nth:, Bull, Aldgate, about three o clock in the aftenuvin, and quitted the coach at On gar, about six in the evening. He perfectly recollected there were but three persons on the front of the coach when they started from London. Ile occasionally catered into conversation with them on the road, and he did not know, nor did he believe, that it) the contec of the journey any other person got np_On his cross-examination by Johnson, the witness positively denied that any boy gave a par cel to the coachman on tire road. To a question from the 31agis. trate, be said he could not positively swear that no more than three pennons were on that part of the coach at Staple Tenney, but his belief was so strong as almost to amount to a certainty. Mr. Church trusted that he had now satisfactorily disposed of tr.: passengers on the front of the coach. Mr. TWTFORD replied, that he did not think so, for there was positive swearing on one side, and only belief on the other. Johnson observed, that the variance in the evidence was solely as to the passengers on the front, as his witness swore positively there were four. Thomas Smith Darnell, Esq. was then sworn, and stated, that he also was a passenger by the coach, at the time mentioned. He was with the coach when he passed through Staple Torney, having mounted at Chigwell. He eat at the back part of the coach with hie hack to the horses. 'f here were but three persons on the trout, and his attention was called to the circumstance, because those persons kept pushing the luggage against his back, which caused him to turn round and speak to them every two or three minutes. To a question from Johnson, he swore positively that not a boy come out of the Talbot with a parcel or letter to the coachman, nor did the coach stop at the Talbot at all that day. The 31AGISTILATE thee immediately dismissed the informs. tion. Mr. Harwell then complained that it was a great hardship for gentlemen to be dragged a distance of 26 miles Crum home to give their evidence, when in t h e neighbourhood, where the offence was alleged to have been committed, there were several Magistrates competent to decide the question. Mr. TwYFORD admitted the justice of Mr. Barwell's ob. serrations, hut the reason stated by the infenner was, that it was nearest to the booking-office. Mr. Church hoped, that as the informer's case had been so com pletely contradicted, the Magietratewoule allow the defendant costs and expenses for his witnesses. The Fare loss of coach hire in bringing the witnesses to town was, he said, 21. Mr. TAYFORD, after vomiting the Act of Parliament and Bum's Justice, said, he did not think he could allow the defendant more than his awn personal expenses and costs. Mr. Church war about to argue the question, when Mr. TI/Y -FORD Interrupted him, by asking if lie could produce am autho rity for the demand. Mr. Church was not at present prepared. but would take time for that purpose. The parties then left the office.

FRACAS vs IIIGH LTFE.—A, Nobleman has been grossly insulted in one of the squares at the west-end of the town, by one of the parties connected with the fracas at the Chester Race tall, on the 4th :Jay last. On that occasion, a Mr. Fitzgerald and a Mr. Rawlins had incurred the displeasure of the company, and were ex pelled by the Noblemen and Gentlemen present, among whom was the Earl of Wilton, the second son of Earl Grosvenor. Mr. Fitz gerald and Mr. Rawlins have since spared no pains, by letters in a Morning Paper, as well as by other means, to provoke some of the parties, by whom they had been expelled, to a duel; and, among the rest, the Earl of Wilton: the Committee and the principal Gentlemen who were at the ball, however, una nimously decided that the conduct of Mr. Fitzgerald and Mr. i Rawlins did not entitle them to call on any single indivi dual for satisfaction, when their expulsion was unanimous. Din , appointed in their endeavours to procure that satisfaction which illr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Rawlins demanded, Mr. Fitzgerald, on Thursday, proccaleo on horseback to Grosvenor-square, and, it is reported, shook a horse wnip in front of the window of No. 12, where the Earl of Wilton lives • he is also said to have thrown cards on the pavement, bearing a d rawing of a horsewhip, And inscribed " For the Earl of AVilton." The Earl of Wilton and his elder brother, Lord Belgrsve, were invited to dine nut on Thursday evening, and at half-past seven o'clock the carri ag e of the Earl of Wilton drew up to No. 14, the residence of lewd Belgrave, who had no sooner entered the carriage, than Mr. Fitzgerald, mistaking him, it is supposed, for the Earl of Wilton, came up, and struck at his Lordship violently through the window, which was open at the time ; Lord Belgrave immediately leaped out of the carriage to resent so gross an outrage by a petson he had never o ff ended, and followed Mr. Fitzgerald on foot, but he did not wait for his Lord ship. but galloped oft at fell speed, and made his escape.

It About a month ago a respectable unmarried female, named Twynam, who keeps a small shop in Middlesex -street, Somers Town, lost 2131., a little fortune which a aurae of Indus try and frugality during many years had enabled her to scrape toge ther, under the following circumstances :—She had recently sold out of the funds stock to that amount, but at the time of her loss. having the money still unemployed, and a considerable reduction in the prices of stock having in the mean time taken place she re lieved on taking advantage of the favourable opportunity of making a handsome profit by purchasing in again, and arc•odingly, put. ting her money in her pocket , left home for that purpose ; but the intervention of some obstacle or other prevented her carrying her purpose into effect that day, and she turned back again, and on her return home she incautiously placed her pocket-book in a situation tinder the window within view of any person entering the shop. Shortly afterwards a travelling glazier entered to solicit the job of repairing, a broken square in the window. Permission was granted • the job quickly executed, the glacier left the shop, and almost ; immediately afterwards Mrs. Twynam missed the pocket-hook, containing ten 101. Sins, and several other". amounting altogether tertheystins above seated. She gave whim of her loss at the bank, together with the numbers of the 101. notes, and several of the latter have since been paid in there, but without giving any trace to the robber. A fen days hack, however, she recovered one of the notes under rather singular circumstances. Two men made some purchases at the shop of Mr. Smith, a linen. draper in Holborn, in payment for which they tendered a IW. note; Mr. Smith suspecting it to be a bad one, sent his shopman into the neighbourhood to ascertain it. It, however, proved to be a good note. but a difficulty arising as to changing it. the shoptnan again went out, and during his absence the two men left the shop. to which they beret again returned. Mr. Smith, on application at the bank, found the note to be one of those stolen from Mrs. Twynam, and it was ultimately restored to her.
