iir , ~.._,..,_ FREE' TRAY AND TILE CORN LAWS. • Peens the Cleik.l Mr, li.iskisson'e visit to Paris bat given necasion to ifsene scapulae to make many reproaches to the French Mitsisten. It has ,b.: Supposed that Mr. Iluskinon came to negotiate a commercial ft ,e h' and that the igth Government resisted every proposition of i tit nature. Thlsltupposltion may he erutuitous, but let ua avfinit fir a moment that it is well-founded. In what tespect antis tbo Emrich Administration hare been wrong ? The liberal „velihatle of the two countries will undoubtedly reply. that the r vet misters have beets wrong in nut showing as much liberality .ii the English tioternment ; bet the latter has only done what it wan fined to do. according to the avowal of Mr. Ihaskisaon him .e ;.-tt Only d.revusinhhed the entrance duties, particularly upon si lk g ii iii, to pent fraud. and the President of the Bo ard of Trale ' -. and that highnduties were prejudicial to the revenue of Eng- Lted. aitate they gave a peptic to the smuggler. Now that the .4ntied are diesoakhed, the goods in question may be had throu g h tleelegit.mate thaenele as cheap as they were ptcvioudy obtained 1 :*otkeio am,agglers. Thus, therefore, the English Governmfeit 'Salt - to , .eive to ditties what w.' paid to the smug lea. and will thus , rein 'two ways. v nainely, by the extinction of fraud and the ex. .4?.y* Ad !Patching over it, and by the augmentation of the . codes du t ies. This is the most wabs t a ntiel ar g ument that Mr. "J.::::lntatia coedit have 3/leaflets! in favour of Ids treuures; he .eriture merely chcsulted the exclusive interact of England, and it ',hied be a truly sinvular thing to make a merit of it with t-4her nation. Moreover, the journalists who have treated this . c.iesuon, have beeu far from perceiving one of the great obstacles sat the roman octal relations that it is desired to be establiabiti he tral..u.s.) tee tau countries. Now this obstacle, which a not thought roe 4:t France , exists on the part of t he English Government, and •i!" tiS t ie meowed, would render a commercial treaty much more , yrstuctille ; but the English Government will not yield to this without diSculty. Mr. Iluskisson dared scarcely say is word Stott: it last Session. Su much has been said in France of the in -o=4 of industry, that a persuasion has at length been pot- Anted. that in • cannily devoted to commerce, the persons en. ;peed in istlusttious pursuits ought to be the Governors, and as tsitup as they p i onounce„ every thing ought to give way ; but this is one of the errors of Ilbersllsm. Industry even in England oc. .s..;pies but an inferior place. The landowner are those who itorern, and those alone the Ministers have to dread, since they -coa.pose :he two Chambers. These are they, in fine, who make the law to the Government. Now, the land.owners are desirous osi the trade in which they are not imerested shituld be carried on irilhout restrictions. But it is Dot an with the trade by which .thee Lye, 'tensely, that of corn. The Corn Lows prohibit the ites. yortahen of lore: ' et corn when English corn is below a price fixed by the tariff. By this means, bread is always den in England, and the la.nd.oweers derive a vast revenue from their land. Now it . Is evident that • great nation. the riches of which consist for vie tome pert in the produce of its agriculture, will be bound to .nialte a free trade in corn the basis of a commercial treaty with lin+ a country as England. But do oar liberals imagine that the English land.owrent would easily receive such a proposition ? Would induetry obtain from them what she wishes, by representing to them that her interests are cnnneeted with theirs, and that in - proportion as she is flourishing, their revenues will be augmented ? it t p could she ever persuade them that they would gain more le selling their earn at four shillings a bushel than at ten ? No 't:Ar.ig is so prejudicial to English indust r y as the Corn Laws, *hreh do it more liami than all foreign prohibitions. Yet we tray ltelieee &at !Le territorial aristocracy will pay no Mention to the complaints of the mannfactnring classes, but will continue to main. tr . n them in their full fora. TIIB SIZE iAADiE. [From the Coventry Herald.] In addressing our reatlers, we are compelled to advert to the alarmingly distressed state of the Ribend Trade here, teal we can only express ourselves in language of condo ietice atul sympathy. We are no alarmists—we confess we are not apt to give ready credence to every tale of distrees, or so attach much importance to every prognostic of evil — Sind by our friends we may have been deemed too sanguine in our hopes ; but mow the appalling truth is forced upon us irresistibly, . and we are bound to declare that, from a state of prosperity, the trade has been suddenly reduced tootle or almost unexampled depression. We learn from - trcotrespondent, that it - ,4 recommended to call a public meeting of the inhah:lants of this city and its neighbour .)woi, to oonaider of the hest mesas for obtaining relief. We think every titan should in this case make common Vence with his neighbour ; for, whatever opinion he may 'hare as to the etfect which the actual introduction of fo rt•ign wrought silks may have, still the trade is now in a *We requiring. instant relief.

COURT OF CHANCERY, SATI:IMAY , JAN. 21. The Loan Or A!ICET.I.OII not being sufficiently recoverted to take his setit in Ow Hall, an intimation wa.s given by one of Ins Lordship's officers, that his Lordship would proceed to busineot in private room ; but as that room afforded buLvery lhnited acorn modstion, it was particularly requested that norm but those who had business immediately before his Lordship would present them selves for admission. Ilia hardship bore evident marks of the se verity of his late tittack—his right hand impeated nearly useless, ana his lower extremities still suffering under the influence of gout. Ilia Lol'o3lllp intimated his intention of hearing any special motion. when he nowtl proceed to the cause petition paper. His Lordship mid he should take Barker and (lefty on Tuesday, and that -having read all the lunatic petitions during his indisposi tion, be should devote Wednesday to the disposal of them. A CHRISTMAS BANKRUPTCY. The SOLICiTORMERERAL (with whom was 3lr. 310STATV) applied to his Lordship to suilcrsede a commission of bankrept which bad been taken out against a person resident in the city of Oxford (bat whose name did not appear in the statement or the Learned Counsel) under the following circumstances :—Tios.pe titioning emulator had called for a debt of sixty pounds on an even ? ing immediately after Christmas bay, and was told that his debtor was from home ; be proved that that denial was not founded in fact, and • conuninion issued in consequence. The Learned Counsel stated to his Lordship that athilavitn had been filed by the bankrupt and his wite--the former awrarizet asto his capability to pay all his creditor, twenty stilling, in the pound. and the latter accounting for the denial of her husbeed on the evening in question as follow.:—That the door of their house had bzei; assailed all day by persons requesting " Christmas-boxes ;" that at length she was tired out with the repeated visits of persons so employed in " box ing," and - that she directed the servant, in cage any one else celled, to any her master was from home. In obedience with these direc tions, the servant, mistaking the petitioning creditor for a " mixer," on his inquiring for her master on theeveaing in question, gave the denial which led to this application toltie Lordship. His Loasaseste was pleased to grant the motion. SINGULAR QUESTION OF WA RIYSHIP. Mr. N%rnirstansit applied to the Court on behalf of a gentleman who had married a young lady (the names of the ma.-ties did not transpire) who had been ITIMie a mod of the Court. He (Mr. Whitmarsh) had to ask of his Lordship that the personal appear ance of the gentleman in question before his Lordship might he dispensed with, until after the affidavits of the facts of the case were put in. Mr. KNIGHT mid he was directed to watch this motion. A bill had been tiled, in the name of this young lady, as a single woman, on the same day on which the marriage Ind taken place In Scotland, and the question turned upon the point of time. If the bill was filed after the hour at which the mar riage hod taken place, she conk! not be a ward of the Court. When the affidavits were received, they would show, most satisfactorily, that the bill Rat filed some home after the;niarriane. L His LORDS!!! p said, as the funds were in Court, no injury t would be cone by granting the motion. His Lordship said It was a novel caste, and suggested that the affidavits should be drawn with much exactness. POWELL C. YOUCIIETT. Ilia Lonnsine raid that an application for a commission of re view had been made in this case. He had felt very strongly the necessity of informing himself of all the circuit:storms of the mac, sad he believed he could say that lie could repeat the whole of the evidence, from the beginning to the end, which had been adduced in the cause. His Lordship said it was nn application for a coma minion of review, to be ordered by his Majesty in Council, for the purpose of reconsidering the sentence which had been given by the High Court of Delegates, confirming the jndgment of the Judge of the Court below and the question was under the circumstances whether he (the Lord Chancellor) was to advise the granting or withholding the commission in question His Lordship then went through the tins of the case as adduced in evidence in the Courts below at great length, and which have alrerdy appeared in our paper, proving as he went along front the evidence that the codicils of the 17th May 1813. were in accordance with the tenor of the will of 1607: and that the will of the 18th May 1813 was wholly at variance with it. His Lordship said that previous intention must operate powerfully, and hare great weight in a rase of this de scription. He (the Lord Chancellor) had one case very strongly impressed upon his mind, in which the intention of the testator, as conveyed to a friend at s former period of his life, had most de. cidedly supported a will made under eircumotances which but for this confirmation perhaps could not have been supported. though containing& most rational and praiseworthy disposition of his pro. perty. The name of the case was Coghlan and l'eghlan, In which fielthe Lord Chancellor) had been of Counsel when the case was argued before the High Court of Delegates. The Testator in that case was a respectable vatic:moan at Me west end of the town whose premises were destroyed by tire. The domestic calamity he suffered in consequence reduco. him to a state of insanity, and be became an inmate of a receptncle for derarged.pernons, and in a lucid interval he made his last will and testament. Dialogs former period of his life he had lived on term; of intimacy with It highly respectable gentleman of the name of Wintborpe, nod this gentleman proved that he had frequently held conversa tions with the-deceased on the subject of his testamentary inten. tions, and that those intentions were fully confirmed by the will made at a omits& so long subsequent to those conversations, and under the eircurainancea of derangement of mind arising from the causes stated. The High Court of Deletion held that the will mimede confirmed by evidence of pievious intention, was to all in tents and purposes a good and valid will And entitled to probate. On the subj ect of capacity, he (the Lord Chancellor) was clearly df opinion that the deceased (Mr. Litchfield) was of sonnd memory and understanding on the 17th May, 1713, when the codicils were made, but that he was not so on the following day, when the bet paper attempted to be set up as a will was übtained. His Lord step said that the granting of a connnisaion of review rested in the grace and benignity of the Sovereign, and therefore. it was not for him (the Loot Chancellor) to anticipate what the Crown in the eiterche of those attlibutes would determine. There was no doubt, however. that the report mode by_ hint (die Lord Chan cellor) would Mn ie that determination. His Lordship said that a commissiou of review could not be recotnmended. unless aotnellsing erroneous had taken place in the former proceedings. Nothing of the kind had been argued as to the conduct of the .Tudge (l;ir John Nichol!) who first decided the case. As to the proceedings before the High Court of Delegatee, indeed, it had been objected that one of the Common Law Judgestisoled to sit had nut done 4 0 - This circumstance he (the Lord Chancellor) could not con sider as a matter of any moment. In coachicion, his Lordship said that lie had that dry forwarded his report to hitt Majesty, through the Lord President of the Council, humbly advising his Majesty, that no grounds had been made out tut granting the oomittiasion. On the question of costs, as asked by Mr. Popp, his Lordship said he had no jurisdiethol. tNT Tut SUTTEE or NETMEL 110SrITAL. Mr. HEALD,' with wheat was Ale. Rose, said that he appeared in support of a petition filed by the Steward. certain Aldermen. and the 0 4114ifM16 of the Poor of the city of Norwich. to appeal against an order made by.the Viee•Cliancellor upon the Minter's Report ea to the management of the lunatic asylum, called Bethel licopita: in the city of Norwich. It appeared from the statement of the L earned Catineel that the liosplod in question was founded in the year 17141 by the widow of a gentleman of the name of De- I tied, to which die was prompted hy this eircumstarce, as stated in her bequest, of several of her relations having laboured under that dreadful malady. The overseers of the pear of the city of Nor wich contended that they had a prior right to the savontage% of the ildtpital over all other persons, for the maintenance of such poor who wen insane, whether curable or incurable, Red alleged that the okset of the founder was clearly. to support such lunatir,' within the city in preference to all others, and thst none other Were, to be taken into the establiehment while the poor of Nor wich thou hl supply objects for this bounty ; but, should that not be the en.,:. then persons from the neighbourhood might be rat mind etc their friends or guardians paying a. carotin sum towards their "import. The petition fertior alleged that the Trustees of the hoapied had refused admittance to two incurable poor lunatics, one of whom, hoot the cant of that security and attention which the l hospital affrled, and which was net to be found in the poor-house, had committed suiride. and that the Cosonittoe had admitted per sons inhabitants of the county in preference to the poor insane of ode city of Norwich. • His Luttostsie aaked what was the amount of the funds of the charity. Mr. HART mid that his Lordship weedd ace front the will of the %meet, which ha begged to hand him, drasthe original sum lic treade it by her was :SAW and that simee•thlt period various uooatione had born made, making in all the sum of 10.4100 L, air. 1.11..U.D. in cordieuatioth said thot the.petition :ante before the Vice-Chancellor in March. 1A22, and his llonour said that the Crovertion of the Hospital had the pnwee.of 'ejecting Wearable lunatics; the ;Batter's report regulated the adenomas of fanatics, best as to the poor of the cite of- Noverichr then ao to. persour resi deat in the ceutety, and then as to itiliehinata of. the etty. on pay. ing a certain aunt for their maintenaace, Bed giving security for their removal if ordered by the Governors, or in the event of death for the payment of the funeral exposer.. 'Alt. Heald stoncieded by urging the right of his clients to the advantages ot, site asylum ea behalf of the poor; hpothe poor Issl meant ildrdrui , e , wale 4 0 11 1 61.1 ill the eye of the law.—titom wonting sooport from the pari sh being lunatics—whetitee curable. or ;twit:obi,. • Alr. HART was heard ou the 'petition of the love and Tres. tees of the Hospital, who objected to that part of the order of the THE BRITISH -PRE!Sa. Vire-Chancellor which required that they shots ki affit a notice as to 'amities occurring in the Hospital, the feeweett data, at the door of the Town Hell, instead of ten days' notice on ,tbe done of the Hospital, ai before was the practice. Mr. Hart contended that the Governess of the Hospital had ever shown their anxiety to assist the ripe of Norwich, but that they could not take upon themselves Ito maintain the incurable lunatics of that city, which would be in effect only to relieve the poor-rate of certain burdens which it had upon it from the cause in question. In fact, they insisted upon having a vested right in the hinds of this charity. There was no doubt that the funds were to gn to the benefit of certain Individuals, and they had given those individuals the benefit of them so long as there was any expectation of their being cured when there was no longer any hope they returned them to their friends, or to the parishes which sent them. if the Governors of the charity were to receive the incurable poor lunatic of the city of Norwich, it would go to destroy the beneficent intention of the founder, inasmuch es they would be occupying the places of those poor persons that might otherwise be admitted, and who, under the beneficent hand of Providence, might be restored to the blessings of reason. He (Mr. Hart) contended that the alteration as to the time of notice of admission was wholly unnecessary and uncalled for, and was calculated to make the admission a matter of election, contrary to the intention of the founder of the charity ; that the Governors and Trustees were highly respectable persons, who had estried on the affairs of 1114 charity In succession from the time of . ittfonndatior, in 17111, until Int, without the trait diffnence of opinion between them and the overseers of the poor of the city of Norwich, when those gentlemen, at the latter period, conceiving they had a vested right in the funds in question, determined on trying the matter in Chancery. The Governors of the Charity had ,j paned the possibility that a suit in Chancery might do harm 1 than ail, and m strongly reonetrared against the measure, ' 11 4 1131. r eftientany. In conclusion, he (Mr. Hart) would say, that Governe.s of the Hospital had butt one object in view. that of I darrying into execution the will of the founder, and the donors to I.lbet charity, to the fallen extent of their power and ability. The LORD CuancEt.t.cra said that lie should have had great difficulty in sending it to the Master, the consequence of that being Ito spend a large auto in litigation, which might be so much better [employed. Ile (the Lord Chancellor) had no doubt but that these busters had the power of determining the admission of lunatics into the hospital, and that it must be that of curable rather than that of incurable lunatics ; but they had the power under the will of the founder of taking and disposing of the cases of either. With respect to the word inhabitant, which applied to the city of Norwich. he (the lord Chancellor) could not think it applied to tho . se only who had a legal rtetriement there. As to the third point, the notice of admission, he did not conceive it was a matter of much import, and as the Governors and Trustees of the hospital haul the denelit of the decisions on the other pohns. perhaps they world conic to Court if they found any inconvenience to arise. Mr. HART still objecting— His Loutisittp requested him to be advised upon the point, and to mention it on a future occasion. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, SAT vspAT, JAN. 21. SHARP v. GREENWOOD AND OTHERS. Mr. Sweyiniee applied to his Honour for an injunction to re strain the defendants fmm selling certain copper-plates ared maim io which it was alleged the plaintiff had a beneficial interest. It appeared that in January, 1819, the plaintiff and Mr. Greenwood e.naered into an agreement, whereby they became joint partners in certain maps of' the different counties of England, which they in tended to publish.. In November, MI. the plaintiff, in considera tion of a sum of 4,000/. assigned to Mr. Greenwood and another of die defendants ins interest in the maps intended to be published. In order to secure the payment of this aunt with interest the as. signmeat contained a clause, by which the two assignees undertook to re-assign the "property to the plaintiff by the way of mortgage. Since that time Mon two persons had admitted it third into their partnership, and surveys of six counties had been taken, and the de fendants were now -.bout to sell the maps without reference to the right.ef the plaintiff, whose claim for the 2,000!. and interest was still unsatisfied. To restrain them from effecting this sale was the object of the present application. The Vtee•Cuaarcer.r.on asked why notice of this motion had not been given to the defendants ?' Mr. Set:eaten answered, that on that subject he had the affi davit of the plaintiff; who swore that be believed if he had given notice to the defendants, he should have !suffered the entire loss of the property, as they would hare sold it, and , have appropriated the money. which he could not then recover from them, as they Herein Mimi rent, cimunistalifee. Injunction granted. IN RE TAGCASTER GRAMMAR SCROOL. Mr. PEMRERTOX moved, on behalf of the petitioners, that it should be referred to the Master to approve of a new scheme for the disposal of the funds of this charity. He stated, that as long ago as 1449, a small manor had been devised in trust, to support a grain- Mar school and to distribute alma to certain persons then described. At present the master had no scholars, but he received nearly the whole of the rents arising front the manors ; so that there was a well-paid schoolmaster without scholars. and alms-people without alms. The object of the present application was to remedy this evil by a new disposition of the funds. Mr. 11.tantr,, on the ether side, stated, that by the terms of the deed originally vesting his property, no person could be appointed schoolmaster who had not telsena degree in one of the Universities; and he was not allowed to bold any other Church preferment than the Vicarage of l'adeaater. The rents of the manor now amounted only to about 144.1/. .per annum, and the present schoolmaster had held the situation since 1192.. lle submitted, therefore,, that the schoolmaster °ught not now to be deprived of the salary hihnil "so long enjoyed. The Learned Counsel cited a similar cose, in which his Honenr, after conference with the Lord Chancellor . h ad deter mined that the amount of salary should not, under such circum stances, be lessened during the life of the then schoolmaster. His Ilos.oun said. he could nut deprive this schoolmaster of his present salary. It appeared he had held the office for ft period of thirty-eight years, and he might hare ietained it Instead of ac cepting other preferment. The order, therefore, must be to refer it so the ?floater to approve of a new scheme, not disturbing the life. interest of the present schoolmaster. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. SVIIIRDAY, JAN. 21. The first Session of the Admiralty term commenced on Saturday. Lord STowt: r.r. took his seat at the usual hour, and, we are happy to state, appeared in excellent 'health. LA rr.TITE VICTOIA.E. In this case Dr. J. Annams moved for a monition, upon an affi. davit, stating that on 10111 Jan. the brig La Petite Victoire,l,2 Sage, master, experienced serious injury fruit; the severity of the weather, and was left in such a distressed state that the crew thought proper to desert her. In this condition she was hoarded by the applicants, and with much difficulty brought into IVeynionth harbour. For ; this salvage was claimed, which the agent for the owners at Wey.. mouth seemed disposed not to admit. Under those ciremustancss application was made to the Court, and the Admiralty Messenger at Nrcymouth put a seaman named %I bite on board the vessel, to keep possession until the claim for salvage should be decided upon. White waft ejected from the possession by artifice, and whm the Admiralty Messenger went on board to reinstate him in the pus session he was grossly insulted and impeded in the execution of his dutv. Dr. igsortn said that the afSelavit upon which the motion was made had only been entered yesterday. lilt. llorford, the ship's agent at It'eyntoath, was Immediately written to, but of course no answer could have been received.

The circumstances of the case were fully ratted to our readers when the question came before the Court dining the last term. Sir R. Hall had received his share of prize money as a Post-Captain in the British navy. Tho above-named sum wan deposited in the Hospital as Sicilian prize.money due to Sir It: Hall, as a Brigadier-General in the Sicilian service : and as by an calm of Council the Sicilian Ambassador was authorised to receive all monies deposited as Sicilian prize-money, Count Ludoif, on behalf of the .Sicilian Government, now claimed the sum apportioned to Sir R. Hall. - Go behalf: of Chelsea Hospital it waa contended that the money row claimed had been wrongfully opportimied to Sir it. Hall, he having received his share as a British officer. and thereby di,,en titled himeelf.from receiving as a Sicilian Othecr. The claim of Court Ludolf being entirely depeirdent upon the claim of Sir IL Ball, it was insisted that Sir R. Hall having no claim, the Sicilian tievesionent could have none. The representatives of Sir R. Hall contended that they were entitled to the amount deposited in Chelsea Hospital ; or at least to the difference between the som Sit H. Hall had received as a Post-Captain and that to which he was entitled as a Brigadier ' General. of the Sicilian Government. Lord STowELL sold he would 'consider whet had fallen from the Counsel, and gave notice oft wbat day he should pronounce a decision. • LIVERPOOL AND limecurLiTimii•AlLWAl'.-011 TIMES- day; the Liverpool Board of Surveyors of Highways gave their consent to the formation of the proposed tunnel under the town, frout the King's Dock to the eastern boundary, on certain conilitions a SPCUTIIIF the sewers and streets from damage.--if and:ester Cioardiutt.

France and Ranting, the upholsterere. Mr. Bisofittatcw tented the case. Mews. France and Ranting, the upholsterers, having a house in Charles.toreet. St. James's. maitre. to let, foe it gentlemen of the came of ‘Vateh, were waited upon by the defendant, who gave his Clad. and wished to occupy the house. Before he was allowed to obtain possession, Aleuts. France and Ranting expressed a wish to have some reference for the deletelent's capnbdity to pay thereat, mid he accordingly gave them a reference to Mr. Mitchell, of Bloomsbury-square. A person had been sent to Mr. Mitchell, but he said thst the defendant was not in the good circumstances he had represented, for that he hail been a bankrupt, or had passed through the Is solvent Court. The clerk ran back as quick as he could, but the defendant wax before hint, and had got into the house, where he persisted to remain. He was to occupy the !mime for three months, upon condition that he paid 52 guineas for that term. There was also a proviso that he might occupy the house for sir or nine months. The rent was to be paid weekly. and when about 201. or 3111. wee due, a distress was put into the house for the rent. T he prosecutor was plated in possession, and when he had been there three days, the defendant called him up main, and asked him what business he had In the house ? Why, said the man, " you know why lam placed here." The prosecutor then went down stairs, where he was Overtly afterwards seen by the defendant, who again asked what he wanted on his premises ➢ The prose cutor told him he was placed in possession for the rent that was due, but the defendant said he should not stop there, and called the petrol to take him into custody. 'rhe patrol said, " Why, Sir. 1 cannot, tinder those circumstances. take the man into custody." The defendant, however, pushed the prosecutor into the street, and then the patrol was ford enorigh to take him to the watch house, where he was immediately liberated. Now, said Mr. Brode rick, this is the airriuk ; but if the defendant will pay the rent, and Five up the house, this prosecution shall drop. Ile wished to know if Mr. Geoid would give tip the house 3 Mr. ALLEY, the Counsel for the defendant, said the rent would be paid when due. 3lr.

Mr. AI.f.F.T said that all the rent due was paid. and so long as Mr. timid paid the rent, he did not see why he should be pre vented front occttpying the house. The case then proceeded, and witnesses were called, who proved all the facts. The defendant then consented to give up the house at ledy.dtty, and pay the rent, provided the prosecution was dropped. This was agreed to, and the case terminated by a helot bring withdrawn. J. Dahl, who WWI footman tb Colonel florid, was next pieced at the bar, for having committed a very serious assault on Reed, an officer of Alarlbomugh-street police office. Reed was sent with a warrant to apprehend Colonel Goolel, and was about getting in at the window, the door being barricaded, when the defendant struck him with a poker on his legs and body, and shut the window down upon his back. He was very seriously injured. He pleaded guilty, and he was sentenced to be imprisoned one Month in the House of Correction. Wm. Knight was indicted for having overturned the chaise of a Mr. Robinson, whereby he was much hurt. The prosecutor was driving his horse and chaise along the Ring's-road, Chelsea, on the .yid Noventbcr. when the defendant and another person, who were raring on horseback, tine with such violence against the chaise that it was overwind, and the prosecu tor was thrown under the wheel.

SPANIST{ Awn ITALIAN lIEFVOEYS.—Mr. Bowring, Dr. Gil christ, and several other gentlemen of the Committee appointed to manage the subscription raised a short time since for the relief of the above unfortunate persona, attended at the Mansion-house on Saturday, when Mr. Bowing addressed the Lord Mayor, and stated that the Committee had taken the liberty of waiting on his Lordship in consequence of a paragraph that appeared in the pa pers a few days since, stating that an offieet in the Spanish service bad applied at the Justice-room for relief, reptesenting himself u a distinguished officer, nr.d possessed of considerable landed pro perty in Spain, but compelled to leave there in consequence of the disturbances that had so long agitated that unfortunate country. Mr. Bowing said the applicant had certainly made several mis. representations to his Loroship as to his rank, and the estates of which he stated himself to he possessed. He had some time since applied to and been relieved by the Ccieninittee. The refugees were referred to the Committee : their claims were properly inves tigated, and such relief as they required was immediately afforded them ; anti he could assure his Lordship and the public, that as. sistance would at all time be given to them according to their se cest.ities. The LORD MAYOR said that he had on many occasions, when some benevolent individuals had forwarded him ditlerent sums of money as a subscription for the relief of the refugees, declined taking charge of the money, and referred them either to the Com mittee or to the bankers appointed to receive suliscriptioes. Al. though no doubt some exaggerated statements had been made by some of the appicants, yet their actual misery was so apparent, that it could not fail to excite sympathy. Mr. Bowring said the Committee had been imposed on in sonic uses, although every possible inquiry had been made by them. One person who had represented himself as having been an officer in the conatitutional army, had received from the Committee at dif ferent times no less a sum than seven hundred pounds. and had since proved to be an impostor. and was now living in France on the money he had succeeded in obtaining from the Committee. The advertieemens which had lately appeared in the papers re quested benevolent individuals would forward such articles of clothing to the Mansion-house as they might think proper to be distributed itutor; the unfortunate Spaniards, who, at this incle ment season of the year were dreadfully in want of them. The Loan illAyou said he had recently received a quantity of clothing from some benevolent ladies at Lirmiugliani, and which should he forwarded to the Committee. Itr. Gilchrist said that the CORDllittße had received several sums of money to be applied towards the relief of particular individuals, and he wished to take that public opportunity of stating that the sums so received had been appropriated agreeably to the wishes of the donors. Their fonds were, however, at present in a very low suite- but still the Committee multi not refuse assistance to any of the unfortunate refugees, as their situations iu general were most deplorable. Indeed two of them recently bud not sufficient forti tude to enable them to bear up against their misfortunes, and had unfortunately committed suicide. 1)r. Gilchrist then thanked his Lordship for the kind attention. he had paid them, and the deputa tion withdrew. - BOIV.STREET. As soon ss Mr. Mixsit I.: Lt., the sitting Magistrate, had taken his place on the bench on Saturday morning, two gentlemen en. tered the office, ore of whom announced himself as Mr. Hannam, second son of Sir J. Hannam. Ann Nettlefold had sworn that the person who gave her the paper directed her, if she was asked at the bankers from whom she had it, to say from " Sir J. Hannam's second son." Mr. 11. now stated that he was the person, and that in come. (pence he had come from a distance of 120 miles to town, in order to investigate the business. The worthy Magistrate having shown him th e check, Mr. 11. disclaimed all knowledge of the handwriting, as well as of Smitli and Co. On the worths Magistrate inquiring whether he was ac uainted with a Mr. Turnbull, he replied that he knew a Mr. Turnbull, hut could not speak to his residence ; he had, however, every reason to believe that it was the same, but had never given him permission to make use of his name in any transaction whatever. 11 r. H. then bowed and withdrew. I.B01101. 7 (i H -STRE On Saturday. Jornrs gfacmoons. a boy about 14 years of age, was charged with haring connuitted various robberies at Greillion's notel, Albemarle-atreet. Haywood, the street-keeper, stated that on Friday night lie took the prisoner into custody, on suspicion of haring attempted to steal a suit of clothes, the property of Lord William Itentinek. lie was further charged with having actually stolen a silver bower boat. There were also several other charger by hotel-keepers in the vicinity of Ilnittl.street. The cook at Greillon's deposed that, in consequence of the house undergoing some alterations inside, the area gate is left open. for the workmen to have free egress and iogress. On Thursday even ing last he observed the prisoner enter the passage front the area. Thinking, from his appearance, that he belonged to the workmen, wi tn ess Raked hint the question, but though he ga v e no answer, he took no further nonce of him. shortly ailment's, witness brought down stairs a silver butter-boat. which he placed in the pantry ; he left the room for about two minutes, and on his return the hoar was stolen ; the prisoner, who was previously just by the door, was also missing. On Friday night lie saw the prisoner again, and gave him into custody. The servant of Lord Bentinck deposed that he had brought hitt Lordship's clothes down for the purpose of brushing these. On his return to the room, after a short absence, he found them removed to the door, lying on the floor, at a dis tance of la yards from the place where he had loft them. A genilentan belonging to the University Ilatel stated dist ! the prisoner came to that place in the course of last week, under a pretence of looking at the chimney shortly after lie era; gone a silver tea-pot, of the value of 11; guineas, arid dozen of massive' silver spoons were Ilittigeti. Another gentleman, from a third hotel, stated the particulars of another robbery by the prisoner. Haywood said, that um taking him into custody he found on the prlsuner a snuff-box, a gold, moutiteel ring, which he lied upon his finger, two duplicates, and a silk handkerchief. Ile had no doubt that the 'prisoner was a regular-bred thief. The prisoner was dressed in a dark coloured, SUTIOUt, and trousers, and pumps., baring an apron tucked up, with his hair drensed up in a very fa shionable style. In his Mance he detailed a manifestly false and absurd atoll, in which be ascribed his pretence at Greillon's Betel to a mistake, committed in a state of drunkenness. rhe whereto*, however, swore that he was quite sober. Mr. CONANT said it WAS • clear ease of felony as regarded lord W. llentiock's clothes. But lest his Lordship should not be digitised to prosecute, his 117,orship stanwitied the prisoner under the Police Act els • rogue arid vagabond, to the tread-wheel at the House of (*radio. for throe intiatha• altrs. Bill, a lady dressed in the first style of fashion, charged with having MOWheti her husband, Mr. Hill, oilman, of Piccadilly and Albemarle-street. In consequence of the respectability of the parties, Me., 11, 11, when brought to the Office, was taken to the private puleilt, where she remained until Mr. Conant was readree hear the cots . plaint. In the meantime the lady threatened to have the :lin g , strata, removed for causing her to be detained. and wt..?,, yc length ohs was requested to come into the office, she, atter a :A.., hesitation, advanced up to the table, and told Mr. Constr.; tot: if Mr. Dyer or Sir George Farrant had been present, they do her justice : but It was impossible that he could, ae her nia•:,. monal disputes had never been before him. Mr. CONANT observed, in reply, that he would pay e e" 7 , attention to the eerie, end he had no doubt that she would be pe r . fectly satisfied with his decision ; however, the lady objected to the case being heard, as her son was not not present ; and she re. traced her steps into the parlour, where, throwing herself into a chair, she exerted her voice so powerfully as to Call* a Mob is gather round the office. On its being whispered to her that she would be locked up she very prudently beams calm. Sl'hen Mr. DYES came he stated he was ready to hear th e charge, and desired Mrs. Hill to walk into the office. Bhe, is reply, sent a message, that she was ready to receive the Mit t ,. trate. This was trifling too much with the diginity of the Heath end after another summons, Mrs. hill made her appearance. Mr. Hill then stated that he and his wife had been separated for some time, but her son and two daughters were residing with him; it had never been his wish that Mrs. 11. should not see lie children. and he had therefore given orders that she should se admitted whenever she CAMS: but, unfortunately, she would net confine herself to her daughter's room. On Thursday last, til.e, t on a visit to the house, she entered his room, anti threw a salt him, by which lie was struck upon his arm ; it snow/ads struck. a panel, and broke into a thousand pieces. Mrs. Hill, in her defence, which was very lengthy end elo quent, endeavoured to persuade the Magistrate that Mr. 11. was mad, and had been so for five years past. She complained that, after being used to the Komforts of a carriage, sire was now te duced to 7'd. per year. and that Mr. 11. kept possession of her property. She was irritated. she said, by the unpardonable lea. gun;:e used to her by Mr. Hill. She only held up the salt to frighten him, and it accidentally fell out of her hand ; but she de. elated, if she had had tt pistol she would have shot him. She called on her son by a former husband, Mr. Aveling, to prove the truth of her statement; but that gentleman's detail differed. From hers. _ _ _ After consideroble discussion the lady was ordered to find ba.l, which she refused to do, saying, that she had troubled Sir Chat_ Price and other gentlemen before, and would not do so again— neither would she be locked up ; and tip to the timed oar leaving the office the lady's obstinacy triumphed. 8ET . 11 . -ST R EE T. A Mr. John Sotidt, a sanctified and demure-looking gentleman, who has been in the habit of " eglightening" tile sojourners about Cannon-place, 31ilenuil-road, wns charged with committing an aggravated assault on an aged and infirm woman, named llary Nt - alker. She stated that about three weeks since she, with her husband and family, the latter consisting of seven children, were suddenly obliged to leave their former lodgings in consequence of a distress heing levied on them hit rent. They applied to the defendant for leave to put their goods into an empty house of which he was in charge, and which had formerly been used as a limn-house for the reception of paupers. Re consented to permit the family to remain thete a few days until they could obtain lodgings. Unfortunately her husband had been taken extremely unwell, and was at that very moment, she feared, at the point of death. Owing to this ealamitj, even if she bad been able to obtain lodgings, it would have been impossible for her to have removed without accelerating his thee. lotion. On that morning the defendant entered the room in which they resided, and without any kind of previous explanation, began throwing the furniture into the street. Ott her remonstrating, he struck bee several times with his clenched fi st, and repeatedly knocked her down. DI r. Smith, in a very subdued tone, accused the complainant of the basest ingratitude. Front mere motives of chanty he had permitted the family to mine on the premises, but instead of te. nusining the few days to which this stay was limited, they refused to leave at all. Under these circumstances he thought he was fully justified in adopting the summary mode of expulsion. A respectable-looking man here stepped forward, and said he had simessed the entire occurrence, and never in his life had he sem any , thing more brutal than the conduct of 51r. Smith towards the old woman. - - - Mr. WYATT said the assault bad been clearly proved, aril therefore the defendant must find bail for his appearance at we Sessions. f'terult, one of the parties who. it ratty be remembered, was in custody at this face for the supposed kidnapping of a child. pre sented himself before the Magistrates. and complained of the n. port which had appearted in the BritiA Pres:, and othtr Aloming Papers, of the former proceedings. He said that in consequence of it he had lost his business in two houses where he used to be em ployed, and could scarce pass along the street+ without being hooted at, and called a kidnapper. lie hoped their Worships would in. terfere with the reporters. and base a counter statement put in. The Magistrates said that he had only himself, and the number Of falsehoods which he had told , to blame for the injury, if any, he had sustained ; they never interfered with the reporters, nor would they on the present occesici.. rencli then left the office, apparently much chagrined at the failure of his application. The Brailsford merchant-ship, of Plymouth, commanded by Lieut. David Wilson, was boarded on the 12th instant, bound from New Brunswick to Plymouth, out fifty-four days, ia lat. 49. 47, N. long. 8,4, W. by the Duke of Matitmeough'packet, having been waterlogged tweney-nice days, and destitute of every species of provisions, and almost starving. Lieutenant Portellso supplied her with provisiors, water, enact necessaries. The crew were then well ; but he suites that the next day it rime on to blow a heavy gale from the southward, and he thinks the people must have been washed overboard, as they were living on a temporary cabin built on deck. Lieutenant IV ilson would not abandon the vessel, although Lieutenant Donellan advised him to do an, and offered to take them on hoard the Marlborough. The Brailsferd was again spoken ott the 17th instant. in lat. 51. long. 8,, by the Trident. Coffin, and was expected to get Into Cork the nest day. If Fortune had not been blind, is it likely she would have bestowed on Mr. H—. M.P. a Twenty Thousand Pound Prize; and on the Noble Lord C—, last month, the Half of a Thirty Thousand, when those very Nobles and Honourables have signed her death warrant, in abolishing Lotteries for ever? As there will be but Two more Drawings, everybody should now have a Spoke in the 11 - heel of Fortune, to partake of her parting favours in the Six Prises of Twenty Thousand, which must all be decided on Wednesday, Ist of Mardi. The fastest two miles runner in England of the present day is Metcalf, who won the two great matches with Capt. Peters. Sams, a runner from Burslem, who accompanied the champion of runners to London last week, engaged on Saturday, over the fair two miles between Hounslow and Staines, to run 10 miles in 38 minutes, for 100 so v e reigns.
