I did make akilication for him, Mt ft was through Colonel Rate; the General was in the country. The paper given me by Mrs. M'lntyre might or might not have Tracheal the defeinffint. The tpplication was through the -idjutaset- General. . 51r.Baororsm then put in the Interrogatories and answers that hod been taken by the Cmuntiodon to he read—but The ATTORNEY-GrxtnAL objected, on the ground that one of the persons who had been examined. Colonel Rate, 'was the de fendant's witness, end who bad been cross-examined by the plain. tiff; whereias it was optional with the defendant whether he would use that gentleman's evidence. The Loan '.'star JreTICT said he was not aware at that mo ment of soy authority on the point, but would reserve the objection ff the Attorney-General wished it. The ATTORNEY-GI:MEDAL said he had no desire to come to Coon aseeond time on this question, and he would therefore waive his objection. The evidence of Colonel Rate was then read, from which It appeared that General Layard had ordered the arrest and impri sonment, and that the reason was to prevent any communication between el'lntyre and Major Trlckey, who were believed to have conspired in the issue of the pork from the stores. Major 'rickey resigned, rather than :and a eourt-martial Tent was the elaintiff's case. The ATTORNEY . ..GENE:IAL addressed the Jury on the port of the dere:Went, rid began by expressing his conviction that they would decide meoeding to the evidence, and net the inflamed and eseggerated statetbents cf Mr. Brougham. The case was defended by those who were law officers under the Crown certainly, because behead Layard, who had served for :el years in Spin and various other planes, was now absent on the public service; but if any one supposed elist, should demages be given, the Treasury woul d pay it, berms greatly mistaken. The plaintiff's cluvacter had been good, and therefore he had been promoted ; but he lent himself probably to the temptations of Major Trickey. It was not because Major 'rrickey eras superior in command, that a fraudulent collu sion could he justified. The plaintiffbad turtle an over-lssue of beef satinet iuthority, and be had also withdrawn beef and substituted unwholesome pork. This vas done in the absence of the officer whose dutv it was to inspect the provisions. They could not sup pose that :INT:tyre did not dative advantage front this fraud. TM mem had become outrageous at this food. The plaintiff was found guilty, and degraded. 11Thee the defendant arrived from Ct ' phalonia, he found the Film still dissatisfied. A Court of Inquiry vas instituted, and the reit& was, a determination to bring Major Triekey to a reart-mertial. Major Trickily was a man of influence. lie was pat under attest, but who, rather, than stand a trial, had resigned all his commissions, to avoid the jurisdiction of a court-martiaL There were strong ap peehensiors that 31'Intyre would be trumpeted with, and in order to prevent that, he was put under confinement. Even iu this country there were some instances of witnesses being thus confined where hampering was apprehended he dial not say whether lawfully or . The plaintiff was treated during his confinement with all the levity consistent with the object. Ile admitted that the verdict bust go for the plairitiff, bat he would show them that the most temperate damages would satisfy the este. The Learned Gentle man then proccemsl to comment on the circumstances, in order to ~bet show the mctives and the character of the whole transaction. He ' had the same rations, and all the allowances the same as if he were in barracks. Khan ill, the surgeon attended him. A pencil note was seized In course of conveyance by Mrs. 31'Intyre, and that was the reason for the vigilance exercised when she saw him. Accord ing to SPlntyre's own statement, he preferred this confinement to being at lar;e in the barracks, where the men would be always down upon him about the stinking pork. Still their verdict would be for him. Let them give such damages as they thought he was entitled to. Those damages would be paid out of the pocket of the defendant, and not from the public puree. The Loan Curer .lusvrcE, in summing up, observed, that one topic had been adverted to by Air. Brou g ham—that this aetlos was defended by the efficient of the crown, and that the money, If any were given to the plaintiff, was to come out of the pockets of the public ; this had been denied, and, as lie thought, very properly so ; but, whether the money was to come from the defendant or not, it ought not to make any difference in their verdict. In cutting the nature of the treatment of the plaintiff while in confinement, and the o otere that had been assigned for putting him under such GOO. &anent, his Lordship remarked that it had been admitted that no motive could justify the act; but, observed his Lordship, there certainly hare occomed cues in this country in which such mea sures have been taken, where the witness has been supposed liable to be tampered with, Wearied to remain at large. Ile would not, however, give an opinion, either way, as to the legality or illegality of inch an act, lest his words should he miacoostrised ; be only stated that such had talten place under hii observation ; and it was for the Jury to say how much sec a course, known to have been kaput NM - teary; theitaind of she pro - .. called Rent defendant. act for which he Is now Von AP pay daaM6ea. 191 eatrivaidng the damage•, they would allow them to be the reeult of a calm and dispassionate considera tion of all the circumstances that had appeared before therm in evidence. The Jury consulted about five minutes, and returned a verdie for the plaintiff--Dsmaires This was the only defended cause tried to-day.; PREROGATIVE COURT. BELL T. ARIKSTP.OXO. This cause respected a will of Willia m deceased, who died In July, 1818, at a place called Nunnery, where he had lodged and boarded, with a Alr. and Mrs. Saunders, for a year and a half previous to his death. After Mr. Dell's decease, a suit was com mented concerning a codicil, which bad been executed where he lodged ; and this suit terminated in favour of Armstrong, who therefore took probate of the will. The deceased's brother was a farmer, residing a considerable distance from London; deceased had been a tidier, anal in that capacity had amused a fortune of 17,060 i. Armstrong had been employed by him as a stock-broker ; hut it did nut appear there had existed any acquaintance b.rtween them beyond that which of necessity would appertain to a coterie pondenee on busineee. The deceased was between 60 and 70 years of m,te; in 1015 bit spirits became much depressed, mad lie laboured under general debility. About this time a Mr. Good was applied to to draw up a will. One party had stated the deteaaed hart previously made a will in his own hand-writing ; and a copy was introduced, which, it had been alleged, wes taken at deceased's desire, in case! his wife, who was not sane, should get at the original document, and destroy it ; but the original instrument was not forthcoming, nod the copy, which appeared at a late period of the cattle, came to a very suspicious way. Only one of the witnesses to this will was brought forwent, and this was a baker, who said he was called in one morning by deceased to sign something, the precise tenor of which he could not describe. This was the whole evidence as to that document. In 1016 deceased was attended by Mr. D'oodham, an apothecary ; who stated, that about this time deceased had ac quired some eccentricity of manner, which was attributable to illness ; and in the month of March, he was removed into the country. Deceased, in December, appeared deeply impressed with a notion that lie was getting in distreesed circumstances—generally one of the earl est characteristics of a mind breaking down. In January he becalm childish ; would sit with the same paper before him for a month together; he wss dirty ; the saliva ran involun tary from his mouth ; and he exhibited- other symptoms of decay both of body and mind. Mr. ‘Voodhani had then said of him, if-he gat Into she lands of deigning individuals, they would do with him what they chose, and he might be hiders- o.m leave them the whole of hit property. Ikcessed's imbecile state had Leen corroborated by numerous individuals, some of whom had gone to pay him tittle rents, but considering hint in an unfit state to trans. act business, had returned without executing their lin:Mon. On one of these oceasionseleceased had given a receipt, after some delay and strange conduct : and it had hem argued, the deceased might have been occasionally in a sufficiently sound state of mind to execute such an instrument; but in these cases the teems pro'osdi was shifted, and it seated with those who were to benefit by the will to same Inch instrument had been fairly executed. 'Where validity depended upon capacity, there was generally much conflicting testimony. The defendant,. however, in the present cause, had not ventured to plead general capacity, but had produced testimony only to the ikelion of the will itself. Alt Armstrong and Mr. Saunders centrieed to get deceased into the country. On one occasion powers of attorney were prepared in farin' of eperson named Harding, to remit& dividends, when, to the credit of Armstrong, he wrote to deceased's brother, desiring! him to corn! to town, to`protect Mr. Dela preterty, for he col- eidered him in nit unfit state to manage his own concerns. The beothet did' not t ome ; • and Armseronq subbequently wrote in it different wain, to say Mr. Bell's heal th vies materially proving. The deceased was then removed to the house of Ssundcra, where, it had been asserted, a Mr. Good was called In to', execute a document, which left to Mr. Armstrong the bu;k of deceased's property, and made that person residuary IoH gaffe. The wife, unitr this document, being entitled only to an annuity of 200 L; the brother, 5001. ; Harding, 360/.; Saunders, 1,001, fee. I'nrier there circumstances, the Court, be- &re it could deride In favour of Armstrong. must he fully satisfied the deeeuad, when he trawled the document, was in full possession of his faculties, and that something inure than s mere acquiescence had been given. One extraordinary feature was, that the document did not go to Vie whole of Mr. Hell's property, some stock having been entirely , overlooked. Saunders and Armstrong having a dit feigner, the fanner sent for a Mr. Smith, to prepare a codicil, in which these individuals changed places--Awmsttor.g was allotted the I.BOOL, and Saunders became residuary legatee. This codicil was Ltigated by Annstrong, on the ground that c ircumv e ntion h a d been etaploy.et, and the Court decided in his favour. Three ninths after tire fratnieg oftheirill, the codicil was found, and Mr. THE BRITISH PRESS. Geed, the solicitot, spoke as tOthewund capacity of. damned st the time of the will's being framed. Witnmattbowever to a sin gle transaction, must be viewed with caution. Ma God and Mr. Armstrong went down to the deceased's residence t the will was prepared under the direction of the residuary legatee, and there was not the " b test evidence of the deceased having given any interactions.. . Good had acted more discreetly i f head acted did Mr. Smit , who, when ordered to prepare a codicil, went to receive deceased's inetruetions. Under such cucumstasces, the re sults would have been, probably, the same. The deceased was found in an unfit state to give. the necessary instructions, and the codicil was for that time abandoned. Subsequently Smith took it to the deceased, in a mate ready for execution, and it was corn , pitted. This paint fully illustrated the practice of the Court, which held, where capacity was doubtful, proof must be bad of instruc tions. The opinion of the Court was, that the detested had died intestate ; but as considerable time had been lost in bringing this cause to an issue, and it was probable that Mr. Armstrong bad ad ministered under the will supposed to be valid, and that he would incur considerable iota and trouble in endeavouring to recover mo nies already advanced, he was spared the additional burden of costs.

BIRNIE, for carelessly driving the Exeter Defiance coach against the van of Mr. Henry Brooks, of the Strand, and in juring the same. The defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined, under the High way Act, 10s. with the costs. Mr. James Brooks stated the amount of damage done to the van, but Sir it. Biaxir informed him lie had gone to the greatest extent the law authorised him, end that the owner might proceed by action for the damage. Mr. James Brooks then charged the driver, whose name was &Mid Newell, with violently assaulting hint by horsewhippicg hire after he had done the damage before complained of. After de fendant had driven against the van, Al r. Brooks called to him to stop, but to this he turned a deaf ear, when .filr. Brooks ran to the hones' heads, and attempted to atop them. Defendant then horse whipped him, and eventually drove off. The Worthy Magistrate observed, that the conduct of the de fendant bid been highly improper ; coachmen ought to stop the coach when so called upon, and the more en after they bad done previous mischief. He should therefore all upon hint to put In bail to answer the charge. 1101M.STEALIX0.—VesterdaT Charles Batten, a tall, stout, young mast, was brought before Sir It. BIRX IE, charged with stealing a horse, the property of Gilbert Cawley, the proprietor of the Northampton I.ivery.stables, Northampton-square. The prisoner, in his defence, said, he could prove that he was at another place at the time of the robbery. Ile had respectable wit nesses who could prove that fact, and also speak to his character. Sir H. Br kw ix remanded the prisoner for further examination on Thursday. WORSHIP.STREET., Yesterday if ics was brought before Mr. TwYFORD. on a charge of stealing a bag of coffee, the property of Messrs. Travers and Co., wholesale grocers, in St. S John Prior, carman to Messrs. Traver+, stated, that on Saturday he was going through Bunl.ill.row with his cart, containing various parcels of grocery, to be delivered at different houses in the neigh bourhood. In the front of the cart were three bags ofcofFee, weigh ing 28lbs. each. Looking through the bars in front of the cart, he saw the bags moving towards the back of the cart, and going round he saw the prisoner stretch,-.d at full length, pulling with all his might at the bags of coffee. Ile laid hold of the prisoner, who threw himself out of the cart, and after a hard struggle suc ceeded in taking him into a neighbouring shop, and gave him into cus tody. The evidence of the carman was corroborated by the testimony of some respectable persona wLo had assisted in securing the prisoner. Ile declined saying any thing in his defence, and was fully coal mitted. CORONERS' INQUESTS. DESPERATE SUICIDE OF ➢IR. JOHN BROWNE, NATE OF THE WATEIGOO EAST INDIANAN. An inquest was held at the Town-Hall, in Gravesend, before Samuel Mann, Esq. the Mayor of that town, and Coroner, and a respectable Jury, touching the death of John Browne, Esq. the second officer on board the lion. East India Company's ship Wa terloo,lying at Gravesend : It appeared that the deceased, who was only 26 years of age, had been in the Company's service from an early age, and from hie as siduity as an officer, and his demeanor as a gentleman, had gained the esteem of all the efficers and men on board, as well as that of the East India Company, who,. had it in contemplation, after the completion of his next voispse, to give him the tram. nand of one of their vessels. Abell! five years ago he formed an acquaintance frith a young lady of rather humble origin, but considerable personal attractions, which continued up to the committal of the foal deed. By this correspondence he had In curred the displeasure of his friends, WIND ender/wet by in their powerto diestede him insta l 6e conneautts::: tfforta proved teelicetwej.' About fir* weeks linos the Waterloo arrived at Northfleet, and immediately after the deceased proceeded in a post-chaise to London. to the residence of the object of his affections, and remained with her till Sunday se'nnight, when it was well known that the Captain would on the Monday join the rowel to proceed on the outward-voyage, and it was necessary that all the ship's company should be mustered in his presence, and a report thereof forwarded to the India House. About mid-day on Sunday the deceased arrived in a post-chaise and four, with the lady above alluded to and her sister, from London, at the East India Arms, Northfleet. In.the course of the journey thither the ' , deceased fired a pistol ball through theathaise window, which was demolished, and threw the ladies into the greatest alarm, yet they did not attribute this act to any aberration of mind, as be told then, at the time not to alarm themselves. The deceased and the ladies remained at the Inn that night, and about tea o'clock on the following morning, he took his leave of the females, who . proceeded back to London by post. The parting was very affecting, and the deceased shed tears. lie then jumped into a boat belonging to a waterman named Jones, and desired him to row him to the Waterloo, that had dropped down the day before to Gravesend. On reaching the vessel within 100 yards, the waterman asked him whether he would like to go up the starboard side; the deceased answered he should ; and at the moment the sculler turned his bead, he placed a pocket pistol to his head, and the ball entered just above hisright temple, and lodged in the cavity of th e brain; in a moment he was a life less corpse. Mr. Holliday, surgeon of the Waterloo, instantly attended him, as also did Dr. Park, of Gravesend, but of course coula render no as siatance, andahe was removed to Mr. Johnson, the undertaker's. The deceased attempted his life twice before; once by shooting himself, and the other by taking a quantity of laudanum. The l Jury immediately returned a verdict of Insanity.—The body of the , deceased was interred on Saturday in Milton church-yard. It was followed by his brother, who is an East India merchant, and four midshipmen belonging to the Scaleby Castle. Stu:scam* CANT or Boast ato.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before T. Sit ELT ON, Esq., on the body of Ellen Carroll. Elizabeth Gill ody deposed, that she resides in George-court, Old-stbeet-road. The deceased lodged at her house for the last two months. Last Tuesday week the de- ceased, who goes out sharing for her livelihood, went to a house in, Brunswick-square, and returned about six o'clock in the evening.

Verdict-- " Found Drowned." On Saturday last an inqnest was held before the Right Hon. Lord Carbery, sod Thomaw Hungerford, Esq. of Callirmore, two Magistrates of the county, in the absence of the Corona, on the body of John Shanahan, who has killed at Curralieen, on the night of Friday, the 14th. After a patiertt investigation of the facts, and examination of the body, whidh it was necessary to disinter, a ver dict of wilful murder was found against John Scully, Cornelius Catiogan, and John Lohort. The unfortunate deceased bad been out stealing potatoes, and these men having charge of sonic which were under distress for rent, and which had been plundered, fol lowed him and his brother to their haute, when they struck and beat him in such a violent manner, with the handles of spades, that he survived only a few hours, anti died on the night of Satur day, the 15th. As soon as the 3lngistrates were apprised of the fact the following day, a messenger was despatched to Cork for a Coroner ; and after waiting to the last day of the week, no Comer arriving, the Magistrates very properly held an inquest, lest the body 'hook! have got into such a state that the cause of death might he have been ascertained. We are happy to add, that some of the parties are in custody.—Cork S. Reporter. :11aNsmirt.n, .!AN. 26.--On 3lcmday a Coroner's Inquisition was taken at the Black Bull Inn, on the body of a mendicamt, who was found the preceding morning lying dead, near the Foundry_ row, on the Nottingham turnpike-road. It appeared that the de emed had sought a livelihood by playing on the fife, and for about a week pass has been relieved and hail medical attendance at the instance of the parish cfficen t but on Saturday last, finding him self better, he resolved to perms his way towards Nottingham. It is supposed that feeling Himself exhausted on the road, he endea waned again to r ea ch Mansfield for further nourishment and sup port. and about one otock on Sunday morning. having got td the Foundry !louses, which arc nearly a mile from the town, he craved leave to be takes] In; but we are sorry to say that humanity had so fat lest l.or stet, that he met a den;aL Vetlict.—" Died from aantioc." FIELD SPORT'S FOR FEBRI [Fro:n the Annals of Sporting.] tinder this head we have little to offer on the present oc casion. Since writing our last obsetvations the weather has been, for the most part, very unfavourable to the pursuits of the sportsman. As far as relates to the fowling-piece, field-sports may be regarded as at an end, if we except a few straggling woodcocks ; snipes, too, may still be met with. Coursing and hare-hunting will continue during the present month, but ought not to be protracted one day longer, particularly in the present remarkably open season, as many of the doe hares will be in a far advanced state of gestation. Fox-hunting may be considered as at its zenith. It will, no doubt, have been remarked by sportsmen, that field-fares, and all those annual feathered wanderers, I which visit us on the approach of winter, and continue here till spring, are much fewer in number than usual. It must also have been noticed, that very few wild-fowl have made their appearance in the interior of the country. FISHINO.—If the weather be mild for the season, and the rivers free from ice, the angler should, at the latter end of this month, go forth fully prepared to commence bottom-fishing; for if the weather, water, fire. be favour able, jack, pike, chub, and roach, will take a bait freely. Perch and carp now begin to move from their haunts and harbours, and will not refuse a well-chosen bait, if pre sented to them adroitly, and attacLla to fine tackle ; we mean in friers and running -waters, for in ponds they will not stir till spring is somewhat advanced. Eels are also now on the move from holes in the banks of rivers, and the smaller ones, that have buried themselves in the sandy mud at the bottom, begin to recover from their torpid state, and uncoil themselves to go in search of food : some few may be taken this month, during the day, with a li floated line, but the larger are only to be caught by night lines ; and if judiciously laid and properly baited, some good eels may be expected to gorge. Flounders will now bestir themselves, but more particularly in tide-rivers; and they will eagerly take a well-scoured lug or sand-worm, and seldom refuse either a brandling or red worm on a fins day, or during an ebb-tide. With the fly-fishermen we intend ere long to discourse "right pleasantly" about murmuring brooks and pebbly streams, the spotted trout, the grayling, and umbra swift, which escapes the quickest eye; also, on the subject of patinas, the red and black, and those "with gold wrapt round ;" spinners, red, dub, and hackle flies, brown, dun coloured, &c. ; but, at present, we can only recommend our friends to examine their tackle—perchance the rod may want a ring, or the whipping a little oil-copal varnish—if so, let it be done forthwith ; and, further, let them re member that hope and patience sppport the fisherman !

The task has often been attempted lately, and Wantley being a ten-mile-an-hour runner, the distance can be ascertained to be about five miles. From the Surrey-side of Vast. hall Bridge, the pedestrian next crossed IVestmiester Bridge, up the. steps, and over Waterloo Bridge, down Finn-street and over Buick. friars, down the Surrey side and over Southwark Bridge, down. Thames-strect and then over London Bridge. The match was, done in 34 minutes and 20 seconds, but with much difficulty. The': steps up the bridges is the greatest task. LOWOEVITY.—IVaiII these last eight years, there have died In the village of Cogsnawaga, ten Indians, each of them past a hundred years of age. Some days ago the curate buried a woman aged 106. There is now living a Squaw, who has her descendants to the fifth generation ; in other words, the child has now living, her mother, grand mother, grandmother's mother, and grandmother's grand mother. It may he worthy of _remarking, that the life of these people is made up of a singular mixture of idleness and hardship, and upwards of ninety meals in a hundred consist of Indian corn (maize) cooked in a way peculiar to the Indians.—Amerisint Parr, SMITHFIELD, Alsiagr, hoc.

The supply of all descriptions of Grain, as also of Flour, las been extensive since this clay week. The Wheat trade was cu' dull to-day, yet no material reduction can be stated in prices of fine descriptions from last Monday. Middling and inferior sorts must he considered nearly unsaleable. The state of uncertainty la which the maltstsrs are, as to the ports opening next month for Barley, causes the latter article to be very dull at lower prices than this day week ; but the general opinion is, th a t th e p orts w ill cot.- thine closed, as it is expected the average prices from the country districts will cense very low for the fifth and sixth weeks. Me have not to note eery variation in prices of Oats, but this tra4e also partakes of the dullness which pervades Wheat and Barley. New Beans rather cheaper, but old ones fully supported their lee currency. Peas of both sorts were rather lower in price than last Monday. Linseed heavy sale and looking down in price.
