Mr. !ILA toes intimated to the Lord Chancellor that it was not the tatention of Mr. Wellesley to file any further affidavits. The Loan CHANCELLOR said that he had understood such to be the determination of the parties when the case was last men. twined. The matter had got Into a singular state, both in the Court of Chananylas well as in another Court. lie would, however, give the parties his opinion upon It. Mr. HitietEs hoped his Lordship would give his judgment on an early 'day. The Lban CH/ince:l.ton said, he did not know that he should. 4.14;e part of the case was very remarkable, though he did not know that that circhmstance was of sufficient importance to call upon the Court •to exercise the very strong measure of Interfering with the parental 'authority of a father. But the truth of the fact to which he alluded, and, which would not now be so soot ascertained as had been intended, bore very strongly on the truth of the allegation, in respect tithe circumstances that applied directly between the pa rent and the children. lie would, however, do the best he could with it. !I. LAWCASTVIS O. ATKINSOX. . in this ease the LORD (.:NANCELLOR went throughthe facts ni-ntioned in out paper of yesterday, and directed two issues to be tried, that a Jury might determine, both as regarded the plaintiff' as well as the defendant, in the suit in Chancery, if either, anti which of them, had possessed themselves of any, and what, money belonging to their father, either in his life-time or after his death ? and intimated that, if either of those sistos possessed a grain of vannton sense, they would compromise their differences, and not proc:esl in the suits at law. This being the second seal, the Court was occupied the remain der of lb. day in hearing motions of no interest to the public. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.,--./vLY LsCOIIIIOLD AND DOLMAN, ASSIGNEES Or HEATH. TI`e.DIILICITOR-HEte'RRAL, on the part of the plaintiff, moved la an injunction to retrain the defendants from disposing by sale of certain engravings. The following appeared to be the citcum stanceiou which the motion was founded. The plaintiff. Murray (tee bookseller), had engaged Heath, the artiet, to engrave certain picuinatellustrations of C:abbes Poems, from original designs, executed by Westafi. These engraved illustrations were bound up and pobli•ned under the same cover wi h the poems. Murray had paid to Heath, for the engrovir, a sum not less than 2.000/. its the coarse of two years. Heath s assignees lately notified their intention to dispose by public sale of a certain number of copies of thear.bot eunneeted with the published poem, but as indepen. dent and separate pictures per re.—The Solicitor-Genteel applied to the l'ourt to prevent this intended sale, on the ground that his chart. Murray, having paid Heath tire the engraving, ought to be considered the legal proprietor of all eerie' wreck off from the plate. and that the sale of the cot ie.t in question woad be injurious to the sale of the poetical work.--The Learned Council antici pated an argument of the opposite side, namely, that by the ens. wen of the trade, engravers were justified in striking off, for their own use, a certain number of copies of every plate which they may have engraved; but he contended, on the authority of several cases, eta , such a custom was vague and indefinite, and founded on vet:her law nor equity, and could not be set up against the prayer elf hi. motion. The Vic E-CHANCELLOR asked what wan the custom of the trade en which the defendants intended to justify their proposed sale of d.• copies ? Mr. HEALD, for the defence, Rail, that by the custom of the trade, engravers were justified in reserving to themselves front six to twelve topics of each engraving. The Vice-LHANcet.Lort, having remarked that the uncer tainty of the number of copies reserved was a clear proof of the ille gality of the custom, declared his consent to grant the injunction ; U.S condition that the parties would carry the question of the vali elite of the cu own to be tried before a Jury. After some indifferent conservation between his Honour and the Cantetel concerned, it was agreed that the question should be tried in the Common Pleas during the Sittings after the next lichaelnies Tern..--Motion granted. UC DERENGER v. —..—. Ott the part of the defendant in this case, 31r. PARKER applied to tie tour' to compel the plaintiff; the noted Cherie!, Random De Deeuxer, to amend his bill, pursuant to an order the Court ob tainad.for that purpose.—Ordered accordi-igly. or.Assteroros t•. TUIVAITES ASO ornsas. Ur. PAS►ER mat moved that the plaintitra bill, in this cue, be d:emts.ed, for want of prosecution. RovPLL rose to oppose the motion. The Court (from a late proceeding) must be aware that the plaintiff had not been able to proaecu:e the suit for want of the answer of Ale. Phillips, one of Ina defendants. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said this was an order of count, and that he could hear no arguments egaiitst it. A peremptory order was therefore made to speed the cause. COURT OF ZINO'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, Jtmy 4. Before the LORD Cuter JUST/C1 and a Special Jury.) SANDERSON AND OTHERS L. NESTOR. was an action brought t.y the plaintiffs, who are wine mer chants, to recover from the defendant the SUM of 9341. ha. being IN? amount of three bills of exchange drawn by Mr. Morns, a vrtne'merobant. in Nortlitimbetland-street, Strand, accepted by the tleferdanr, and indorsed by the drawer to the plaintiffs, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. GI7RNET. and Mr. ARRA stasi, were Counsel for the plaintifli ; and Mr. CHITTY for the defendant. The necessary proof having been given of the signatures of the diff:ront parties to the bills, lie. CIIITTY then objected to the validity of the bills for 2241. 19s. and 2021. Gs. upon the gratin(' that they bore an im proper stamp, being written on a Ls. instead of a 6s. stamp, as di rected by Act of Parliament. The LORD CHIEF JCSTICE thought the objection good, and that the &Ulna on those bills could not he sustained. Mr. IiCARLETT then stated, that in the year 1619 an agreement was entered into by the defendant tolnurehase of Mr. Morris the of his business of an army agent, in which .Mr. M. was olglided , in C•eil-stteet, Strand, and which was represented as a prnfitable concern- The bill% in inn 'Men were part of the enni ide ee ti n n th e n paid for the business and the premises in which it.win; carried 011. Soon after the purchase hail been made, the tie. trachint discoverer) that the bristliest; chiefly consisted in effecting hates and exchange; of army commissions Above the reguLition peicas, wtaid, being illegal, the defendant was it•.xiotts to abandon his purchase, and he accordingly gave notice to Mr. Morris that he sitoard not considA himself liable to Iteniitr the bills ;then they can.- to maturity. When the bills became due they were returned 1 ., 11 r. Morris dishotoured, alto paid their amount. The plaintifik v—re on; y acting as the agents of that gertletnan, and consequently wet," rtie. en titl.id to recover, the ;r principal having no such right. The Act - calla/It had suffered very severely already from making noel, an improvident bargain, this being no less than the fourth ;whin brought against hint on occasion of thre hills. One of them la , cly tried la Ireland, where the Learned Judge hail advised defendant to withdraw a Juror, upon the understanding that tire pi tioittlis should release him Iran all further claim, which the defendant accoedingly consented to do. The Learned Counsel then ~.4 t iey several witnesses, with a view to establish these facts, bat not being *Ye to do ma satisfactorily, Tee Jury, by Hi Lotdehip*s direction, found a verdict for the plaintitlit, /181. jnohnling principal and noeres.. NOCSELLS v. LUCAS AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff, who is th e owner if the *hip call , d the Ementlii, agamst.llr. Alderman leer , . d Mt. AlderinAß ThompS , the:sheriffs of the ens .JI !Audio, and two a their r ained 4.11 n Davis and Wm. Bull, and also against Messrs. Hepley and Longhorn, met.. (-hams. and Mr. Etkie, an attorney, for breaking open the hatches of the plaintiff's ship, the Emerald, and unlawfully taking away certain goods therefrom. The defendants pleaded, first, the gentrAl issue of not guilty, and secondly, a justification, alleging that the goods on beard the ship were the property of a Mr. Thorn ton, who had given a warrant of attorney to Messrs. Ilepley and Longhorn, upon which they had entered tip judgment, and issued a writ cl fiteras, and that the alleged trespass was com mitted in the due execution of that writ. To this the plaintiff replied, that the goods were not the property of Thornton, and that the in, jury was dour in the defendant's own wrong ; whereupon the issue was issued. Mr. SCtRLETT stated the case on the part of the plaintiff. He dared say, these of the gentlemen of the jury who were in the habit of trading the newspapeta, had read the account of sonic proceedings 'which had taken place in the Court of Chancery lately, and which had caused considerable surprise. They would remember that gentleman of the name of }an Sandau had so connected himself with some of the late Bubble Companies in this city, and had ex. perienced such treatment, as to find it expedient to file a bill in canny against the parties; and being advised by counsel that lie could Poste it against one or two only, he consequently filed it against several. But how was that gentleman treated ? There was only one attorney for those several defendants, and he put in separate answers for every one of them all of which were tothleni ver Iris the same. The result was, that tlr. Van Sandau wai token In, as the coals incurred by this proceeding exceeded the amount of his despond. Now the attorney who appeared for the defendants In that cause had the merit of originating such a course of proceed ing. lint he ('tie. Scarlett) wished to.day to place the saddle upon the right horse, and claim foe the Court of King's Bench that honour which the - Court of Chancery had hitherto been con. aidered exclusively entitled to, for the present action was pending before the bill of Ale. Van Banditti was filed. This action was against seven defendants, and Ale. Eikie, one of them, appeared for all. He had taken out 'Ocren different sum. Marini for particulars of the' plaintiff's dereldnd ; be - had pleaded five justifications, and seven pleas of the general issue , whereas one would have done tar alt. He had afterwards served five separate notices on the plaintiffs, to produce documents on this trial. This was certainly • very expedient mode of multiplying actions and the coats upon them, and he (Mr. Scarlett) thought it was rather hard that the Court of Chancery should bear the stigma of such a roc ' thee, seeing that it was the Court of King's Bench that had ori. ginated it for it was to Ale. Eikie that the invention of this Inge- I nious contrivance belonged, and he was the first who exercised the happy talent of multiplying fees which his (Mr. Scarlett's) client had been obliged to pay. But such a course could be resorted to with no other object than one—that was, to put money into the attorney's pocket. When he should come to state the present ease, the Jury would see whether this cause also had not originated by some very ingenious advice given by . Mr. Eikie. The facts of the case were these :—Allr. ho.nton being indebted to Altars. Hepley and Longham, employed the ship Emerald to take a cargo to New South M ales, and when there, he freighted it back to England, consigning the goods to Hepley and Langhtun, they or he to pay the freight, according as it should be specified by the chatter party. When the cargo arrived, and it appearing by the charter party that the freight wait to be paid by Hepley and Longhorn, it became a matter of-consideration with them whether the cargo would be of sufficient value to make it worth their while to accept it, upon payment of the freight. If they had accepted the goods as con. signers, under the btll of lading, they would have been bound to pay the freight. Under this difficulty, w‘tat were they to do Why they resorted to Alt. Ejkie, 'who no doubt said to them, `t Il hr you have got a warrant of attorney against Thornton, treat die goods as Thornton's goods, enter up judgment upon the warrant of attorney, sue out execution upon it, and let the goodi be taken from the Sheriff, if whom you can purchase them without sustaining any loss." This was certainly an ingenious piece of proceeding; but the question was, whether it would be sustained in a Court of Justice? The plaintiff maintained that the whole was merely a colourable levy, suggested by the attorney, in order to obtain the goods which Messrs. Hip. ley and Longhorn had claimed as their own until they found the cargo would probably' not be worth more than the freight. The question therefore for the consideration of the Jury would he, whe. thee the procsedings were not false and void. The execution was • fraud upon the shipowner. The attempt was to get the goods under a colourable title as purchasers, in order that they might say to the shipowner that they dhl not claim as consignees, and were fheref‘re not liable to pay the freight. If such s proceeding were to be tolerated, there would be no security in commercial dealings, as it would only depend upon the state of the market whether per. sons would comply with the mercantile custom of accepting goods as consignees, who were the creditors of the consignor ' or by a contrivance get possession of them under a colourable sale from the Sheriff. In the present case, he submitted that the whole proceed. logs were fraudulent, and that the plaintiff was entitled to recover the full amount of the cargo, and that the freight might be settled thereafter. The bill of lading was then put in. William Nockells stated that he was the plaintiff's son, but that he had no interest in the ship the Emerald. Ile went abroad in the ship. and brought home the goods to England. When the ship got to Gravesend, one of die Mr. Langhams came on board and inquired fur Captain Elliot, and also asked waat quantity of oil was on board. On witness informing him what the goods were, he said lie expected more. After that another Mr. Langham came on board, and w!shed the ship to remain in the river, but witness's father (who is the sole owner of the vessel) said the vessel should go Into the docks. This was after the hatches of the ship had been broken open. • Witness saw the Shariff a' officers, Davis and Bell, on board. Captain Elliot stated that he accompanied the plaintiff to the counting-house of Messrs. flepley and Langhatn, and informed Mr. Langliam that the ship was arrived, and that if they would pay the faight, be would deliver the goods where they pleased, but Mr. Ilepley gave no answer. A clerk from the Custom-house produced the duty warrant and port entry of the ship, and the usual affidavits. -- Grove proved the entries to be In the hand. writing of Mr. Langbam. An affidavit by lAngham that the goods were British property, and had not been sold within twelve months, was put in. James Brown, a person employed on board the vessel, proved that when the Sheriffs' officers came on board, the plaintiff ordered the hatches to be locked down ; anti that the officers ordered them to be broken open. They were broken open by a party of lumpers. The plaintiff made no resistance, and the cargo was taken away, Gilbert Tufnel, an officer of the Customs on board the Emerald, proved that Mr. Eikie came on board, and that the hatches were broken open by his and Mr. laingham's direction. The necessary proof of the writ officrifacias, and of the defend ant., Davis and Bell, being Sheriffs officers having been given, that ended the plaintiff 's case ; it being agreed that the amount of the freight due to the plaintiff should be ascertained out of Court. The ATTon NE Y-GENE HA L. who appeared on behalf of the late Sheriffs, submitted to his Lordship that Mr. Scarlett had not proved sufficient to support his case. There was a bill of lading of certain goods supplied by Thornton and consigned by him to ' Meters. Ilepley and lainghant, lie or they paying the freight. Prima facie the freight was payable by the consignor. The Loan Cut EY JusiiCE said that prima facie the owner of the ship had a lien on the goods on boartlfor his freight. Whatever the amount might be was immaterial to the question whether Messrs. llepley and Linghtun could by their judgment take the cargo away without satisfying the plaintiff's lien. The ATTORNEY-CIES:Cam. then addressed theJary, and said that he had every reason to believe that, when he bad presented the cue to their consideration , they would be of opinion that the de fendant was entitled to a verdict. Ile was there only for the She riffs. The person who instructed him was not Mr. Eikie; he did not feel himself, therefore, celled upon to reply to the observations which had been made to the disadvantage of that gentleman. But it did appear to him a little strange that his Learned Friend should have indulged in such remarks, because, in tact, the plaintiff's attorney had invited this species of defence. The bow CHIEF JUSTICE thought there might havel been three e.purate pleadings. The Sher.ffit might have pleaded by themselves, the officers also by themselves, and the other defend ante might have pleaded jointly. The AT IORNET.GEN ERAL said, that as far as his clients were concerned, they were justified by his Lordship for having pleaded separately. 'they had not relied upon the assistance of the other parties. His Learnt d Friend had said something about fraud in this case. He was quite sure there was no ground to impute fraud. The fact was, the parties were relying upon their legal rights, and the only question was, whether they were justified in point of law in the course they had pursued. What were the facts Thornton owed Ilepley end Langham a debt, and when these goods came to this country they came charged with freight beyond their value. If then Hepley end langharn had taken the goods so paddled, so far front reducing the amount of the balance due to them, they would he increasing it. But they were advised that having a warrant of attorney they might levy execution on the goods without incurring the charge of freight. After all, it resolved itself into a mere question of law whether the plaintiff was or was not entitled to claim a lien on these goods. The Learned Counsel then argued that the nature of the charter party, which stipulated that the Captain was to retain only a part of the vessel, had in effect vested the property of the vessel in Mr. Thornton ; and further, that it also stipulated that the freight should be paid ten days after the delivery of the cargo. He therefore submitted that under there circumstances the plaintiff had no lies) whatever on the cargo, and no right to interfere, and that Allessrs. Ilepley and Langhant had a right to insist on their strict legal claim to go and take possession of the goods without consulting the plaintiff at all. After their being a charter p irty under the seal, the parties must rely entirely upon their obligation under it, and not resort to any other right which they might have had in the absence of any such instrunitnt. These were the facts he should establish, and having done so he should feel entitled to a verdict for his clients. Mr. Common SERGEANT, on the part of 31r. Lille, said that, after the severe and uncalled-for remarks made by Mr. Scarlett, on the conduct of his client, it became him to address one or two ob servation, to the Jury. The charge which had been made against Mr. Eikie he would pronounc.! to be utterly unjust. That gentle. man hat been most improperly made a defendant in this case, when he might have been a very good and necessary witness to have explained the circumstances of this transaction. When the diameter of parties was attacked by unfounded charges, it was of justice to any individual for Counsel to state the facts as they really were. Mr. Eikie had offered to comprise the *tittle of the pleas into one s provided the But would convent to strike his name out of the declaration. But they would not agree to that; aid when the plaintiff afterwards applied to Mr. Justice (now. Lord Chief Jumice) Best, to have the 'lris reduced. on that fact being e x pb.in t d. his bardthip refused to have anv thing to do with it. Ltider.ce was then given of the proceedings in the Court of THE BRITISH PRESS. Equity adopted by the plaintiff, and also of the charter party, by which it was agretd that the height was to be paid ten days ;ilia the delivery of the cargo. This closed the defence. 11r. Se . ..u-Kir addressed the Jury in reply ; and contended that Messrs. liepley and Langham having accepted the cargo, as consignees, were bound to pay the freight, and that the whole ulterior proceedings were merely colourable,. in order to defraud the ' plaintiff of his freight. They had admitted themselves as im porters of the cargo, and had obtained documents from the Custom !louse in that character. They had even certified that the cargo had been imported within twelve months and not sold. and yet the Attorney-General had said that the cargo was sold under the Sherifte sale. It was a mere fiction ; the goods were their own, and it was not competent for them to treat them u those of Mr. Thornton. Under these circumstances he contended that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict to the whole value of the goods, if less than the amount of the freight ; or it more, then for the amnint of the freight only. The LORD CHIEr'JusTICE, in summing up, said the question seemed to him to be, whether the goods were bona Pr taken for a good debt ; if so, a verdict must be found for the delenthints; or was the execution had recourse to merely as a colour to enable Messrs. Ilepley and Langloun, who were the consignees of the goods, to get the property without paying the freight.? If they heel accepted the goods under the charter, they would have been liable to pay the freight; but their object was to get the goods without paying it ; and his Lordship was by no means prepared to say that their character as consignees would not have enabled them to have issued execution upon a judgment obtained by them against the con , signer of the goods consigned to them, in the same manner as any other creditor might have done. Still neither of those points de -1 eldest the question ; that bring whether they did actually take these goods under the execution fairly and truly, or only colour ably? His Lordship then recapitulated the evidei,ce, and left it for the Jury to determine whether the execution was bona fide or not. Mr. POLLOCK, on the part of some of the defendants, hoped his Lordship would permit him to tender a bill of exceptions. The LOUD CHIEF JUSTlCE—Certainly, Mr. Pollock ; then the verdict must be entered for the plaintiff. A verdict was accordingly taken for the plaintiff, subject to a bill of exceptions. The Loan CHIEF JUsTIOE then took a note, at the request of Mr. Pollock, that his Lordship had left the question to the Jnry whether the goods were really and bona file taken under the exe cution, or whether it was done merely colourably, in order to get a title without subjecting themselves to pay the freight ; but that he ought to have told the Jury that then the possessioo of the ship was out of time plainti ff ; by virtue of the charter party, and that, consequently, the Possession of the goads was also out of hint ; and also that he had no lien on the goods; and further, that fraud ought to have been averred in the pleadings. COURT OF COMMON mr.As, GUILDItAt.T....itn.Y 4. MONEYPENNY L. D %%lA./oil) AND OTHERS. This was an action for work and labour due. It appeared that the plaintiff was an engineer and architect, and was employed by the defendants to build a bridge over the Severn, for 'which purpose they had obtained an Act of Parliament. The plaintilfgave in the plan and estimate, and began the work, but was soon dis missed. Various witnesses were called, who apoke to the plaintiff's skill and ingenuity, but admitted that the outlay had greatly ex ceeded the estimates, bum the plaintiff not having contemplated the necessity of piles, without which it was filuncl the work could not be carried on. It was also proved by the defendant's witnesses that he had miscalculated the expense of a road to lead to the bridge, and put the Company to greater expense than they had anticipated. The architect who succeeded the plaintiff made use of the works he hart erected. It further appeared that the plaintiff was a Shareholder in the Company to the amount of 500/. The LORD CruET JUSTICE left it to the Jury to say, whether, under the circumstances, the detendants were warranted in dismiss ing and refusing to pay the plaintiff for his labour. 'f heJury withdrew for nearly an hour, and then returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 75a, bottling him liable to pay 50U/. from it for his shares. OXFORD CIRCUIT. ABTNGDON, JrLY 3. The Mabel commenced here this morning for Berkshire, but nothing of interest has transpired. The Assiz:s for this county are held alternately here and at Reading. At present there are but eight causes entered, and only twenty prisoners are for trial in the gaol. 111 r. Baron Gannow eloquently charged the Grand Jury, and congratulated the gentlemen of the county on the diminution of crime. Ile said the calendar presented to him spoke well of the moral feelings imbibed and exhibited by Berkshire. 111 t. Justice BILIRROUG/I presided on the Civil Side, and tried six causes, which were totally devoid of any thing interesting. NORTHAMPTON, JULY 3. This town, which has lately been the scene of so much bustle and political conflict, is row enjoying the must calm repose. The expected arrival of the " Lords Justices" seems not to cause a moment's anxiety, and but for the noise and rattle of the coaches passing through, you might, without any figure of speech, fancy yourself in a desert. The heat of the sun prevents the appearance of the Indies, and yet (two o'clock) none of the Gentlemen of the Long Rohe have matte their appearance. By the way, there is a something touching the etiquette of the Bar on this Circuit which requires a word or two of notice. Every barrister who ventures onahe Midland Circuit must have i clerk (or servant) with hint, and before lie can dine at the bar-mess, lie must be regularly introduced to the Senior of the Circuit. With the lett , perhaps.. there ought to be no cause of complaint ; but that young men must he supposed capable of posting nearly 500 miles, and paying the expenses of a servant, when, in all human probability, they tIo not earn a pound, is an act of signal cruelty and itsjustice. If it is to be contended that none but men of independent fortune should go the Circuits, 'let it he fairly stated su by the aria tomes, of the profession, and then no doubt the public opinion will settle the matter between the parties. But looking with a common-sense view upon many of the regulations respecting the Circuits, I can only say it is high time to see the more obnoxious of them at least abolished. To most men the Bar has proved an up-hill profession, and to those who have reached the top, it is too much that they should throw so many obstacles in the way of others who are endeavouring to attain the same object. For the present, sat verboot. I hope this hint may be followed up by other jour. optima, and 1 have not the slightest doubt but that a peat and speedy improvement will follow. The electioneering squabbles are still partially talked over ; the friends of the Members abusing the Corporation, and the Corpo ration lashing at the Mayor and the Baronet. The Corporation alleges that they are honest stewards of the funds committed to their charge. slid cliallmge any proof of the reverse. They say, however, that they are liable, like others, to " Whose whisper o'er the world's diameter As loud as the cannon to his blank Transports his prison'd shot." Not that they are still "so arm'd in honesty" that they regard it rot. Northampton, though containing, perhaps eighteen thousand in. habitant!, affords no society. The families of the neighbouring country gentlemen associate not with the townspeople, who are au divided and subdivided into classes, that neighbours will not con descend to know each other. The parson, the doctor, and the lawyer, usually meet Ingather; but not so in this dwelling of the " poor anti proud." Each of them seems to think that "noose but himself can be his parallel ;" and upon that does he act, and with. draws from society. The only trade going on here is confined to shoes and lace, the wages of neither affording adetpiate subsistence ; but still there are few murmurs. and no riotous proceedings. The Calendar, although containing 18 prisoners, pressnts no thing which might not be disposed of at the Quarter Sessions, pro. vided the law allowed it. Two men are comniitted since April last fur stealing " two quarts of ale ;" another on " suspicion" of atealins sonic linen; a third (out on bail), for steall g a truss of hay ; a fourth for stealing four iron plough.hammera ; a fifth, com mitted in May, for stealing a pewter plate ; a 1.11011, for stealiag two fowls; a seventh, for stealing an elm board ; an eighth, fur stealing one cotton handkerchief; a ninth, on suspicion In stealing part of a shoulder of mutton, weighing 3lbs.; and .to on. My object in noticing these cases is, to c ill the attention of the R ight Roe. Secretary for the Home Department to the subject, satisfied as I am that he will give it a prompt and careful examination. The contamination of a prison should as much as possible be avoided; for few who once become its inmates ever leave it without the previous corruption of their moral principle!. Of the civil causes set down ler trial, I can give you no account to-day, but trust I shall be able to do so to-morrow. While writing this, a friend tells me that sixteen causes are entered.

POLICE. MAR LBOROUOII-ST EE T Ilatmnund, a desperate fellow, who stated liimself to be a journeyman boot-closer, was yesterday brought from St. George's wuich.house, on the following charges:— John Haehy, servant to Martha Tully, who keeps the Duke of York public-house, in Shepherd-street, Bond -street, stated, that on Monday night the prisoner came into the tap-room for a pot of beer; witness asked for the money before she gave the prisoner the pot, knowing him to be a character who would drink the beer and not pay, or create much confusion about it. The prisoner swore at bun, and said if he did not put down the beer he would rip him open with a knife, at the same time opening a claap.knife, and making a dan at the witness, which he avoided by running out of , the tav-roesu with the beer. The pawner that, went Leto the street, and challenged flub, to fight, which he refused ; but went into the room, and seated himself on a settle. Ile followed the witness into the house, and struck him a blow in the eye, which made it black, and knocked him on the ground. When he got up, witness went for a constable, and what occurred afterwards the next witness would tell. _ . William IlryZ, No. 7, 3lortimer.market, Tottenharn-cmirt road, saw the prisoner strike Hach), to the ground, and remon strated with him on such unmanly cmduct. Prisoner challenged witness to fight, who also refused, and after ninth coarse language, the prisoner went away, but returned in about ten minutes with seven or eight other men, some with sticks in their hands one had a poker. The instant the prisoner entered, he knocked down the witness, and while on the floor the others fell on him with their sticks, and cut his head open, white the prisoner held him. Wit ness contrived to get away from them, bleeding as he was, and went to an apothecary, who cut away the hair, and bound up his head. The rest got away. William Bullard, the officer, was passing along Shepherd -street, when the first witness called for his iss'stance for the first ass/my. Witness did not .see the affray, but heard that the conduct of the prisoner was most violent, throwing about the pots, &c. Witness searched him, and took from him she clasp knife produced. The prisoner was ordered to find bail, and, in delltalt, to be com mitted till the Westminster Scissions. Jahn Conndly and Stephen Kt were were fully committed fur vial for robbing 3lr. Lord, 25, Ely-place, surgeon, of his pocket hardlierchief, value bs. on Tuesd ty the 27th ult. The prisoners have been kept in custody, to Afford time for the produc tion of the witnesses. Jesse Phillips, itssloant to his father, who keeps the china-shop, f, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was standing in the shop, about four o'clock in ,he afternoon, talking to his father, when be saw the two prisoners following 3lr. Lord. Suspecting byy . the closeness of thei r f o ll ow i ng t h ey me d itate d a robbery, himself' and his tither followed Omni, and just under the archway leading into Lincoln's inn.fidds, Keefe drew out the handkerchief, and, gave it to Conitelly, who thrust it into the breast of his coat. They both turned round, and were returning the way they had cume, when witness snatched the handkerchief out of the breast of Con nelly, and seized him, calling to 31r. Lord at the same time. Witness then caught hold of Keefe, and with the help of his father kept them both. Mr. Loni identified the handkerchief to be his. Ile turned round at the instant. and saw it in the hand of Mr. Phillips. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute. GoogePtoorridge, a idung rasa, but lately taken into the em. ploy of Mr. Isaacs, jeweller, of the Quadrant and Craven-street, Strand, was on Monday evening sent to Tothill.fields prison, on a charge of robbing his master of an enamel casket, containing 13 very valuable large cameo rings. Mr. Isaacs stated that lie put two quantities of rings into two mounted boxes, ttintilar to the one produced ; and the 13 rings he put into an agate bowl ; the whole of which, with other things, he edelosed in a large box, and gave to the prisoner to take up stairs. On Monday morning, when the box was brought down, the rings were mis.sit;g; he searched everywhere himself, and desired the prisoner to do so also ; but neither could find the rings. Nobody else had been in the shop, and he felt assured the prisoner must have taken them. The prisoner protested his innocence ; but as the case seemed so clear, no other person haring had them in possession, he was sent to TothillAields prison. In the afternoon of 51/41day 31f. Isaacs discovered his mistake; sent word to the prisoner, and yesterday applied for 11!s liberation. The prisoner was brrt:tht . up yesierilly, and Mr. Isaacs ex. pressed his sorrow for the steps he had taken. lie said on going to the window, the fiat thinglic happened to take up was the ena.. melled casket that contained the rings. Ilow they came into it he could not say ; he had pot them into the agate howl. Sir GEORGE FARRANT to the young man—Your character is no way affected by the mistakes; your master exonerates you from any implication, and your reputation is as spotless as previous to the charge. You tan return to your masttr with a clear character. The friends of the young man at tiro hesitated t his return ; but on the recomMendation of Sir George, and a statement from Mr. Isaacs that he should fed greater confidence in his service, Plumridge consented. STEALING DEAD BODIES. This offence has of late become so prevalent in several parishes of the metropolis, that the Overseers Lave been induced to adopt the most rigid precautionary measures, so as to preserve the.dif. ferent burial grounds from violation. The resurrection-men, how ever, tempted by the extravagant prices which young practitioners are compelled to give fur subjects, frequently run every hazard of detection, and scarcely a night passes that some stfch attempt is not made, even under the eye of watchmen specially appointed for the protection of the grave-yards, many of whom, it is affirmed, act ill conjunction with these sacrilegious plunderers. Tinting the whole of Monday and yesterday, the neighbourhood of Clcrkenwell and St. John-street was kept in a state of painful excitement (particularly those families in which deaths had recently taken place), in consequence of the body of a female having been detected its transit's, at the top of St. John-street, no doubt in. tended for the anatomical knife. 'The watchman at the corner of Middelton-street perceived a single-horse cart driving rapidly along, in which was a sack tied closely up at the month, and the driver having refused to stop, lie was interrupted by another watch man, when the package was taken out, and on examination it was found to contain the body of a female, which appeared to have been same time entombed, as it was approaching to a state of decompo. sition. The whole was then taken to Bt. John's watch-house, and , inquiries were made at the different burial grounds in the neigh. bourhood, but without discovering from whence the body had been stolen. At eleven o'clock the mita:mer was brought before Allan S. Laing, Esq. the sitting Magistrate at Hauon-garden Police Office, before whom the depositions of the watchmen were taken down ; and the prisoner, in defence, said that his name was John Mar shall, that he was a costermonger by trade, and hail been nut with his cart at a very early hour on Monday morning, intending to go to a distant market; and that when passing through St. John-street road, near Islington, he was stopped by two men, carrying a bundle, which they asked him to take in the cart as far as Smith. field, promising to overtake him there, and reward him for his troll:de. He protested he was wholly ignorant of the contents of the sack ; and if he had formed any supposition on the subject, he should have supposed that the men who employed him were country butchers, who were bringing fat to town for sale. Mr. Let N NO, however, expressed some doubts as to the truth of this and committed Marshall to the New Prison, under 411 hours notice of bail, and recommended the parish officers of' Clerkenwell to be very particular in ascertaining the responsibility of whatever per. sons might appear as sureties. In the course of the day, as the circumstance obtained publicity, several persona made application to the sextons of different parishes in the neighbourhood; amongst the number was Mr. Ward, of Wamer-street, t oldlath-square, whose wife was interned in the middle burial ground of St. James's parish, Clerkenwell, on Thursday eveniog ; the nurse who attended Mrs. Ward, during her illness, went to sec the body which was found in the cart, and con. ceiving it to be that of Mrs. Ward, the husband was induced to examine the remains, which were then 'tit to be owned at the watch-house, in Hosoman-street. Mr. 11 - ard was so much affected on the face being discloser', that he swooned away ; but from the livid hue it had assumed, he could not speak to it with any cer. tainty, and resolved to have the grave opened to satisfy his doubts respecting the disinterment ; the earth was taken off the same even ing. and at the depth of nine feet the coffin of Mrs. Ward wan found undisturbed. No owner appearing during the day, who could idea. tify the body, It was re-interred on Monday evening, by order of the parish officer*, in the poor's burial ground, of Clerkenwell. Some persons have since come forward, who suspecting that their deceased relatives have been disturbed, are naturally anxious to get the body disinterred for their inspection ; but considering the state of the body and the warmth of the weather, such an attempt might be attended with fatal consequences. FIRE ON TIIE TIIAME.6.—At eight o'clock last night, a fire broke out in one of the barges lying in Waterloo Dock, on the south side of the river, which, fitr some time, threatened de struction not only to the m i ter craft alongside, but also to the ex tensive timber and coal yards by which it was surrounded. The fire is supposed to have originated from an adjacent vessel, which was in process of caulking and pitching ; and there being a quan tit, of hay and straw on board, the flames proceeded with great velocity, and soon seized on the riggings in a few minutes after the mast fell, anti we regret to say that two men, who were assist ing, were knocked down. One of them received but trivial injury, but the other is not expected to recover, the exterior part of the skull having received a compound fracture. Both were inunetli idely taken to St. Bartholomew's hotpital. Several engines came off, but the approach to the clock being rather difficult, and the river being nearly at low water-mark, it was found that they could be of little service; however, one of the land drains was dammed up, and a well being thus formed, a line of bucket-men was placed from thence to the barge, by which means the flames were speedily subdued ; but rot before the vessel and greater part of her cargo, consiqing solely of hay and straw, were consumed or damaged. The barge belonged, we understand, to 31 r. Pattcy, of Lea Bridge, an extensive barge-owner. The scene of conflagration was within a very few yards of the shot-mill near Waterloo-bridge, which was destroyed by fire some months since. SINGULAR ALARM.—Yesterday, a short time before the commencement of the sermon, a man was seen in the gallery of St. Andrew's Church, and who, from his eccentric dress and actions, was evidently deranged. As the attention of - the congregation was attracted towards the individual, the sexton went to remove Min from the church, which he did vety quietly. When the unfortu nate maniac reached the stairs, he ran down very quickly, and the noise which he made excited some alarm among the female part of the congregation. Just ut this moment, either the unfortunate man, or some person m the church, cried out " Fire !" Panic now seized the male as well the female part of the congregation, and a general rush towards the door took place. The clergyman exerted himself to calm the ridiculous fears of his flock, and to restore tranquillity and order. He ultimately succeeded, but not until a considerable number of persons had made their escape out of the church. Several kmales were hurt in the rush, but nor, we are happy to state, seriously, and Divine service was resumed. We have received the letter of Otte °law Congregation. in which the writer animadverts, with seventy, on the conduct a persons who were so senseless as to imagine that there could be nny foundation for an alarm of fire, in a attach, at such a period of the year as the prevent. His censure of their conduct is well merited ; but people have not their wits always abeut them.--Liv:Tvtl A/tion of.Voitdoj. NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION'. A I.WICK, SUNDAY, SIX O'CLOCK. Colonel flrey, of 31orrick, has just arrived. Ile was the second of Mr. liambton. Ile brings the intelligence that the parties exchanged ohms, _and separated without injury to eith er. It was previously arranged that if they should meet with interrup. tion on the Moor they would proceed to Belford, and if any MI. culty should be thrown in the way there, they were to proceed to Bamborough Sands, on the northern part of this county, towards the coast. Having met with interruption at the two formerplaces, they niet at Itamborough Sands. Mr. Beaumont, with his second, C. fain Plunkett, and a third gentleman, 3lr. Somers, were waiting in a field oft' the strintl, when Mr. leanitnon and Colonel Grey soar, after arrived. Having expenenced some difficulty In getting out of Belford, the populace boring crowded round them, and ex. claimul they would not allow them to go and shoot Beautnont. Magistrate Interfered, arid they at length were able to proceed, When the parties met, not a word was exchanged. Tsehe paces were measured and tires were exchanget/. The seconds then interfered at the same tunment, and said enough had free r done to sstisfy a hasty expression. The parries being satisfied, the seconds took their friends off the ground without any inter. change or explanation. It is admitted by all that Mr. Beaumont I and 31r. Lambkin behaved with the greatest coolness and intrept. dirt'. It is said, even if the parties were disposed to fire again, heavy shower would hare prevented it. It took place at three. Ueneral fiery. who was the second of Mr. Lamhton yesterday, was Aso on the protind. Mr. feamblon proceeded to Howick. 31r. Beaumont has just come into town, and was received with great enthusiasm. Ile went to the house o4ilbit principal went, where a great crowd coll e ct e d, an d remain for some limier , . Mr. Beaumont then came to the window and said—" Gentlemen, I thank you for this expression of your good wishes; but this is not the opportunity on which I would desire you to shew it. There circumstances are always unpleasant and painful, and the less said of them the better. I beg of you to retire, and wish Ina all a good night." [FROM A CORRESPOYDEXT.I ALNWIer, SUNDAY. The affair of honour between Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Lambtott was terminated yesterday without bloodshed. The parties tnet at four o'clock in the afternoon, on the Sands of Bamborough. Twelve paces were measured off as the distance, when the principals took the ground, and fired elmost at the same moment. Captain P. was proceeding to re.load Mr. Beaumont's pistol, when General G. stepped up to him, and said that enough bad been done for the Lc. nour of the parties, and that Mr. Lambton had never thought die. (militia an apology. Captain P. replied, that his friend was there for the purpose of giving satisfaction : but that if General G. thought proper to withdraw Mr. L., he (Cipt. P.) must nem...nail' , withdraw Mr. Braumont. Mr. Lambton was then withdrawn. and here the matter terminated ; to the satisfaction, we believe, of all present, though not a word passed between the two principals. The following is the official statement, aired by Gent:n.l6. and Capt. P. : " In consequence of some language which occurred on the hunt. ings, at Alnwick; yesterday. a meeting took place this atternjon, st Bamboutiqh, between John George Lambton, Esq. M.P., and Thomas V. entworth Beaumont. Esq. when, a'ter an exchange of shots, the ailkir terminated to the satisfaction of the seconds. " lot July, 18211" MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current, of Tuesday, July 41 COTTON—There was a moderate demand for Cotton last week ; the sales amounting to 1000 bales, viz.—in bond, 650 Surats 4ad. a 54d.; (10 Bengali sd. a nd ; 20 3ladras figtl. for very fine; 70 Bowels 7d. a 71d.; 20 Battles Old.; and duty paid, 17J) Egyptians 7id. ; 40 Ilerbice Old. The Cotton Market continues affected by the very unfavourable accounts from the manufacturing districts ; there were no sales yesterday or this forenoon. SUGAR.—The market for Alusenvades continued heavy lait week, on account of the continued determination of the importer; to sell the volute immediately on its landing ; the inferior descTip. Rona of Muscovades were rather lower; theother qualities won without variation. The new demand for itluscovades continued last week ; the chief purchases were 50s. a 535. The deliveries from the warehouses are more limited than last year; the stock is 3000 casks more; the market this morning opened with rather heavy appearance. The purchase of 3luscovadea to-day were limiter: to about 600 casks ; the market still exceedingly heavy, and the whoireale grocers deterred front purchasing for the country trade, on account of the low prices of Sugar at Liverpool, Glasgow, &c. &c.; the Refiners have been purchasing very small parcels lately. The prices of the purchases by private contract repor ed this day are 6d. to Is. per cwt. lower. By public sale this forenoon, 2567 bags Mauritius Sugars sold heavily, Ids. to 5.4., being a shade lower than last week. The public sales of St. Lucia Sugars and Manritius on Friday went off at a reduction of Is. per cwt. The bustle in Refined goads for export continued up till nearly the dm of last week, and prices abont la. per cwt. higher were realized for parcels that could be got ready for shipment previously to the 5111 instant, when the reduction of the bounty takes place ; the while site grocers purchared the fine goods suitable for the home con. aumpton rather more freely, but there was no alteration in the cur. retie) , ; Molasses were 955. fid. This morning the briskness in the Refined trade has ceased, as all goods for export moat he put on board to-day ; but, as nearly the whole suitable for shipping is cleared off, we cannot state any alteration in the currency ; the wholesale grocers are not purchasing this morning for the home consumptii n; they anticipate lower prices; the neaten 'win of 3lolasses is 255. At the close of the market to-day the Refiners were rather desponding ; they say, if the manufacturers OIT the Con. tinent can sell the refuse, the Molassea and Bastards, on good terms, the competition of the English goods cannot be maintained, they will be undersold, thus the trade. which a few years ago employed four hundred manufactories in London only, will be lad to de country. Ltimps were offered at a considerable reduction, late in the day. In Havannah or Brazil Sugars no purchases were re ported after Tuesday. last week. COFFEE.—The public sales pressed upon the market last r eek were rather extensive, the consequence was a further refit ction in the prices of Foreign ; ordinary St. Domingo, in casks, 44c ; gond ordinary coloury 47i. ; good ordinary Havannah 475. a 48s. ; goof ordinary Brazil 475.

RUM, BRANDY, and HOLIA NHS.— rhe Rum marketle little varied ; the deliveries last week from the warehouses were ra ther extensive ; the purchases since our last reports are confined to small parcels of .5 and 10 puncheons to the trade ; the prices the without the slightest variation. Brandy is nontir.al, but we think the holders are not quite so meth inclined to press sales. Genera is unvaried. HEMP, FLAY, and TA L LOW.—T he Tallow market centi nues very heavy; the nearest price to-day is 325. Hemp 39!. lei. Flax at nominal quotations.
