The grand military speetacle expeaed yesterday at Sydenham and its vicinity, bei.ig postponed for a reason assigned in another part of this paper, a suh stitute was resorted to, to make up the deficiency ; and, c•insequAntly, the day did not end in a com plete disai.pointment. A sham fight was planned by Lieutenaut-Coil•mel Gaitskill, Lieutenant-Colonel Edwards, and the Officers of other Corps; which, in its movements, evinced much military skill and eifed. At ten o'cloek, the First Surrey, and St. Olave's corps, mustered at their ground at Mont pelier Gard as. This corps, under the command of Lieute taut-Colonel Gaitskill, wis to alt as a battalion of Englts:l.

Soon after eleven, the Englis't party marched from ‘lontnelier Gardens, an l having come up with the enemy', rear in Cam berwell, the Light Infantry and Sharp Shooters commenced ari incessant skirmishing a;ong the pri vate road lea ling to Champion Hill, the Lambeth continued firing their field pieces, while they ad vaaced towards Ihilwich, by the Turnpike road, and their Light Infantry were clo.ed, skirmishing among the trees and adjoining fields The English, having advanced in good order to Dulwich, by the same route which the enemy to )It, a smart firing ensued mar the village, which ensl4 with forcing the Lambeth, Chrischurch, an 1 th. adverse Corps, to retreat tr.

It !•as been very justly observed, that in all the examinations of the conspirators, nothing has trans pined to attach any concern in the imputed plot to his Highness the Duke D'Eworr ism. On the cases of all the other v'Etinis of ambition, explanations and justifi.uniens have been offered to the world; but it would seem as if even Corsican atrocit yodare not insult Franco and Europe with a defence, or even an ex tenuation of " ;slain *Artier."

This was an ejelment to recover the possession of premises, in the manor of Earlcourt Kensington. By an AB of Pirliament of Geo I all copybold tenernii:s were lia!ble to a fine of two years un proved rent, tyon a lcn;ssic cn and appointment of a new tenant, and, in default of such appointment, the premises became the property of the Lord of the Manor, until such time as the fine should be paid. In this ease the fine Arti.4l dcd to If.oool. and, iron the value of the fine, and t:10 novelty of the question, Mr. E skins: stated the cause to be one of great importance. Th Aalo.l nit brought against the tenant in pos session, who derived under Mrs. !Mansell, the daugh ter of the late Mt. Brown, who derived under the late Lord Kensington, the Lord of the Manor. Three srveral proclamations had been made in the usual form, for the new tenant to come in ; hut she refused, mil the Lord, cind..r that ejeament, sought to take possession until he should be paid the fine. It having appeared, however, that the title of Mrs. Mansell was not corretly stated on the pleadings, the Plaintiff was nonsuited. PA K ICI r. NM IV. This was an sßi.)n upon a bond for the recovery of 5.0001. M r , Esick I pit, on the part of the Plaintiff, stated. 'hat on Sunday, in to mom h of July List, the Plain tiff was rettithinn: from Divine service to Smeth wick, near Birmingham ; passing through a .ane, 'bout half way home, he saw two persons ing him, and having been robbed hut a short tiftl•• be fore, h., was terrified, and turned out of the brie into a field till they should pass; he heard one of them immediately say, D—n him, he's here," and then swore, •• ther'd tat: him and strip him naked " They immediately seised and dragged him to a pub lic house, and charged him with an intent to rob them in tfisguisei then they proceeded to turn oat all the people who tad assembled in the room, in seder to strip him; but Mrs. Whitacre, the mother n-law of the owner of the house, would not leave the room; said she knew the Plaintiff, who was a man of 74 years of age, and it was not possible he could do the like ; t ese two persons turned out to 'se one Sadler, and William Parks, a nephew of the Defendaat's, The Plaintiff was determined to seek redress for this violence which was offered to him, sod declared his intention so to do Some days after, the nefen.lant 14tvebyeasse to him, and pressed him to make up the matter; but, upon the Plaintiff's refu i ie le o :tea, if he did not make it up he would take ea e these men should make a charge of an unnatu !al crime against him, similar to that for which a ,lerson had been conviiied and executed at the last mixes; but he despised the threat, declaring he w.iuld stay in the country for no other purpose than to dear his charaffer from such an imputation. These th-eats were again repeated ; and, on the first of Atignst, the Plaintiff was arrested by a Rimmr, and hrown into a dungeon. While in confinement,he eceived several visits from the Defer. {ant, and his ttphew Parks, who advised hint to run away, and ihred him money if he would kave the cotentt y. -le was, after three days, carried blot, a Magi .trate ; when Sadler swore he saw him in the aft of ..ommittimi a crime of the most alsominabie nature ; stid that his wife saw him also : upon which die ilaintiff WAS re-committed, till Mrs. Sadler could be examined. It happened, fortunately, that a it. speaable Clergyman was present, who had been a witness to the fo mer transaSion, relative to the charge of robbery; and remiad.d the Magistrate that it was the same person who now swore against the Plaintiff Upon the wile's appeararce, she con tradidied her husband's evidence, and the Plaintiff was discharged. He then conceived he WAS entitled to extraordinary re Ir. is for this at most ter. ..us in jury, in which his charter was so deep.; c Deem ed, and determined to have it, if possible. The parties, aware of his hostile intention towards them, proposed terms of accommodation, and offered any e impensation he might require; in consequence of which, the bond in question was executed by the Defendant—and, at the same time, an advertisement was signed by him and his Nephew, to be inserted in The Birmingham Gautte, nearly as follows : ar Where's we, the undersigned, William Perks and Tho mas Newby, rill, in conjunction with another pets ns, make s fsls•e charg.• sg Misr Samuel Parks, of a crane against nature, n tt fit to b? named, by which he was immersed ; do make this public acknowledgment of our error in se doing, and ex press our extreme sorrow for the same." The Learned Counsel then expatiated largely upon the enormity of the Defendant's conduit. ob serving, &at if the Plaintiff had brought him and his accomplices before a Jury. instead of taking the bond in qarstion, they would lave given him im measurable damages. Mr. Thomas Fellows, Clerk to an Attorney in iirmingham. deposed, that he was a witness to the bond. and prepared it ; he distin4tly read it over to the Defendant. previous to its execution. and ap prised him of its nature, and the consequences which might follow the non-payment of it ; he ob served, it was rather too great a sum, and advised ,:im to make it less. but the Plaintiff would nut con sent. The sum for which the bond was given was settled over night, and the parties m the next evening to execute. The Defendant was perfiltly sober. and expressed no awonisioment or surpo ow whatsoever at the time. The Defendant was 4; , p4- ready an old, de:tepid mar., dreadfully afilided by the palsy, and appeared almost double ; was alto gether a most grotesque figure. The witness swore he thoiirot his . ability was all a pretence ; that the shaking was all assumed ; and that, a few days ago, ts was as firm and as strong as any man in Court.— Upon his crosewxaminatton. by Mr. Glass, he said, he never was an Attorney, that he was Clerk to Mr. Beverly, of Birmingham—that he applied to be ad mitted an Attorney on use Court of Common Pleas, some years ar—but was opposed by Mr. Sp urr i er , to whom he ad served his apprenticeship. No At torney attended for the Defendant at the time of ex ecuting the Bond. He had beard the Defendant was a very wealthy man. Some people said, he uas worth 30 or 40,0001. Miss Fallow% the sister to the late Witness, Was present at the execution of the bond, and corrobo rated some parts of her brother's es The Rev. Mr. Paris proved the transaction, which took place before the Magistrate at Birmingham. Mr Gusts made a very able speech in defence of his client. His chief observations were direCted to the charader and evidence of Fallows : he insisted, that he was as wicked a man as any who ever lived in society ; that he kept a client trap, at his house, in Birmingham, and that he was the jackall who statithe the business, and brolight it to the den, where it was devoured by the principal. He then cal eJ Mainwaring, who proved that the Defendant's property altogether did not amount to 3,001. Several Witnesses were also called, who swore they bad had various transactions wi h Fallow, and had good reason to ci.nclude that he was not to be believed on his oath. In answer to this, two clergymen, a barrister, and a physician, swore they had known Failow lOr many years, and believed him to be an honest man, and to be trusted on his Li:A. Mr. E situ ex spoke at some leryvtls to evidence. Lord El Les annuer:ta observed, that this was not an otien,e of his own ; that the unfortunate old man had signed the bond ; it was an over anxiety tor the safety of his nephew, he was weak enough to put his hand to a bond for 5,0001. when he was not worth half that sum; and having made some animadver sions on Mr. Fallow, the Jury found a Verdid for the Defendant.
