THE Army to be fo'rmed into two Divisions ; the first, commanded in person by General Lord GRENVILLE, to occupy- the his; the other, under the orders of Lieutnant-Genn'al WINDHAm, to attack the enemy in leis /orzver Position. The Ground to be taken by. either Division, to be previously marked out by Quarter-Master' Ge ne ral COBB ETT. A Copy to be given to each _Of ficer, to whom the command of a Coluinn may be entrusted ; the Quarter-Master General's Advice to Le taken, and studiously observed in every ope_ ration. The Campaign to be vigorously opened as scmn as - the lrnenty shall he'known to have taken hi, principal position. ,General , Lord GRENVILLE assumes to himself the entire command of the First Divisionbeing secure from any possibility of surprize in his Rear, which is fortified by an immense redoubt, he pro poses to attack) en masse, on Tuesday ) the 4th of May. The Second Division will be divided into Four Columns. The. First, under the orders of Lieutenant.:Ge neral WINDHAM, will consist of the Grenadier Companies; and, under ,the feint of a skirmish, will make a real attack on Monday the 3d of May, by an attempt to penetrate the Enemy's centre. The Second, commanded by, Major-General ELIOT, consisting of the lightest Troops, will on Wednesday the sch, endeavour to turn the dank of the Enemy. The Third, under the'orderS of Major-General Earl TEMpt. E, consisting entireiy of hea . zi armed in fantry, Will, .on Thursday . the 6th, advancie'on the Malta side, as rapidly as it can, ' and undei:positive orders to muffle its Music. This COlumn may, as occasion serves; now and then be made Use of as a diversion. • The Fourth, under the direCtion of that scientific Oitcer Major General DoElor LAwR ENC E) to whom the heavy artillery and the Lumber Troop are exdu . siyely entrusted, will on Monday the zoth, thunder on the Enemy, and has pOitve orders to take every advantage of their being found fast asleep, or absent from their Quarters. Major-General THOMAS GRENVILLE will cotri mand the Reserve, which, though usually en. misted to Officers of the first.--rank, is for special reasons given to' him. He will- be ready to , - do his best in supporting any part of th'e Line that ma y appear to be giving "way ;—and will -be'parti cularly-vigilant in securing the. Rear of the Com mander in Chief, in case of unforeseen accidents, from any insult. • The communications between the two Divisions to be kept up as well as possible. It being generally understood, that the Enemy will reserve himself for a General Aftion pn the I i th, or perhaps the tzth of May, every artifice and stregagem is to be had. recourse to, which may afford a chance of bringing it on on an earlicr day. If he refuses his Centre, his Flanks must, if possible, be turned ; and every effort in the in terval made to gain as much as possible of his position. Against an Enemy so wary and de.. termined, Espionage must be employed to its fullest extent. Our Force being small, every thing must depend . on Concert, 'Unanimity, and Diszipline. Any Officer commanding a Column to be broke, Who shall be convieted of not having the Quarter-, Master General's instrutaions his pocket. (Signed) General Lord GRENVILLg.

At Plymotrth, on Tuesday, forty-eight eggs were sOld.for zs. and fresh butter 7d. per pound. .These articles were brought by cartel ships from MoriaiX. At, Reading Fair, on Saturday, there was a very great show of horses ; and t h oug h the best sorts fetched high prices, the generality sold nt reduced rates. There was a ,tolerable show of cattle, which sold well. A fatal accident took place on the illumihation_ night, by the dangerous practice of firing otf pistols, guns, Sec.—FAlward Thumb Wood, a journeyman to Mr. ROBINSON, a Tin-man,. in Long-Acre, was passing along King -street, G o ld en square, when'' a . pistol was fired from the door Of MR trades- , man in _ that street; containing a woodeit rider, about five inches and three quarters length , Surplus which entered his right thigh.' The deceased was taken to St. George's Hospital, where lie died. On Wednesday evening, the parcies'who were the cause of the unfortunaje accident, were examined at Bow street, when it appeared that the ruler hail been used as a ram-rod, and left'in by negligence when fired off by Mr. P.'s son ; yesterday the Coroner's Jury sat on the body, and brought in their verdiCt Accideval Peadu The prisoner was therefore ad_ mitted to bail. YESTERDAY the Calculations on the. subjeEt of the proposed 'Consolidation of the Old and NeW pinking Funds were presented to the flousc , of 2s.ommons. These Calculations are . prefaced with 'the following Observations : The Sinking Fund established by the Atc.l of the 2,6 th of Geo. 111. appropriates , the annual sum 0f r,000,0001. to be issued by quarterly payments, to the 'Commissioners for redeeMing the Public Debt which subsisted preyiously to the year 1786 :—To' these quarterly issues the interests on the debt re .leemed are added', together with the Expired and Uqclaimed Annuities for Lives, or, for terms of years. It is also enaded, by the 341 of, Geo. 111. that the Savings which may arise from the Reduction 'of the 4 or 5 per Cent. Annuities to Funds bearing,i lower interest, shall constitute a part of this Fund. It appears that the Debt, subsisting previous to the year 1786, was about 238,000,ocol: and that the Commissioners under this At had redeemed, to, the first February, 1802, the Capital of 3 and 4. per, Cent. Annifities of 39,885,0001. and 18,ocii,00al. had been transferred to the Commissioners on account of Land Tax redeemed, leaving a Debt remaining to be redeemed by the future operation of this Fund, of about 198,1 is,oool. the Sinking Fund amounting, on the ISt of February, rBoz, to '2,534,1861. — The future progress of this Fund, in extinguishing the remaining, portion of Debt, must eyidently.de pend on the average price at which the Capitals of the Funds may. be purchased in the Market, which areTassumed, in the following Estimates, 4r the se veral prices of tool. 3 per Cent. Stock -at 100- 92 4.-i3tllb---85 5-7ths-80--- 7 and 75 ; giving the rates of interest 3-31,-31---,3i—and 4. per Cent. per ann. JeSpedively.—These several prices are here taken as data, not from supposing that the adual piices Will in future he confined within these limits, but merely to shew what alterations in the times of redemption will be the conseque.lee of tnese assumptions. _ . By the 26th of - Geo. 111. as explained by the . 32d of Geo. 111. it is, enaCted, that this Fund shall be continually augmented by the interests of the .Debt redeemed and the Annuities which fall ,in, until its amount shall have become not, including either the original surplus of t i ooo,oool. per.ann. or such annual or quarterly payments as may be voted bY.Parliament in aid of this Fund, After the Fund has' aitained ,its maximum of amount, 'The interests of the StOck purchased by it are to be eousiderd - as paid off and discharged. Whatever Debt may 'then remain, is to be discharged by instalments of 4.,000,0001. each, with the addi tion of such sums -as may 'be annually voted by Par liament in aid of thIS Fund. The estimates state the several periods of time in which the ,whole of the Debt will be paid off and dis charged by the operation of this Fund. By the 32d of Geo. 111. it is enaded (Clause 3), for more effedually preventing the zcciumilation of Debt hereafter in 'consequence of future Loans, that whenever any sums of money shall 'be raised by Loans for public purposes, an additional annual sum shall 'be issued from the ,Exchequer to the Commissioners for the Redudion of the National, Debt, over and above the interest on the Debt ; which sum shall amount - to - one-hundredth part of the capital stock created by the said Loan.--LThe per Cent. issued to the Commissioners .Since the year 1792, in pursuance of this Ad, added to the interests of the redeemed Debt, constitutes the New Sinking Fund, and has redeemed to the rst of Fe bruary 1802, the capital of 3 per Cencs. amounting to 19,703,5961. and bearing interest at 3 per Cent. , - per ann.'of 591,1071. To infer from these datas the periods of time in which the, several Loans will be redeemed by the Sinking Funds, provided it will be requisite to state the different modes in which y the Sinking Fu n d mays be applied to extinguish the Debt, particularly re speding that part of it, consisting of Annuities for terms of years certain, which cease and determine of when the time for which they were granted shall have expired. If the Annuities of this • description be not taken ieto the Account. of the Debt redeemable by the Sinking Fund, it will be necessary to consider only the Capital of . Perpetual Annuities,' bearing interest at 3,4, and 5 per Cent. The r per Cent. issued on account , of Debt-created in each year since 1792, including Long Annui ties, has been employed in .pnrchasing , 3 per Cent. Stock. Any of the Long Annuities granted during this period will effedually be laid °Wand discharged,, according to the diredion of the' Ad, whenever the Capital. Stock purchased, in resped of an Annuity, and cony( rted into money, shall have amounted to a stun which shall be sufficienr to redeem that part of 'the .Annuity which shall remainafter4s years from its commencement ; but if it should be deemed expedi ent to apply the Sinking Fund only to the Perpetual Annuities, leaving the Annuities for terms of years to' expire of themselves, this will afford another ground of caleulatiOn. Different results will:also be the. consequence, if the 4 and 5 per Cent.' An. nuities should be' reduced to a 3 per Cent. Stock, and thus form a part of the Debt bearing interest at .3 per Cent. per annum ; or if these capitals should be considered as redeemable, bearing their present rates 'oF•interest, or as being paid off at par t what ever may be the price 'of the 3 per Cent. Funds. The Calculations conclude with this summary : REDEMPTION op THE,CONSOLI DATED DEBT, or: Tr APRIL, iSoz.

It wa's an anion for penaltici Upon the statute of 'the 37th ilk' present .Majesty, c. go, sec. 30; commonly called the ,Attornie:,' Licence Att. It was-tried at the Sittings after the last Tel m, before Mr. justice LE BLAac and a S ) ..reci:ll Jury, in Gdildhall, London. The two Defendants, Messrs; Gomlings, ~were PrOtiors, and this was an . attiori for penalties against them for having titled withoi":it a certificate in procuring probates of wills : by mere inadvertency they ;md omitted to take out their certificate in time, 'and therefore a verditt was. given for, the Plaintiff upou the third, the twelfth, and the fifteenth counts of the declaration. The ' third count stated, that the Defendants had, as Protiors, extracted probate of a certain will and codicil of John• Kinder, deceased, with6ut hiving obtained and entered any such certificate, - as re- Ziuired by the said statute. The' twelfth and the fifteenth counts were. like the th.r..l, only relating-- to 'other probates of ads done by the Defendants a 4 Prot.lors ' To .this there were several objections •ipcfn 'which he was to contend that j4,:gincti ought to be tested., LI the first place, the Court would observe, that in each of these counts there was included two distind causes of aCti„n, for it stated< the 'ae.'ts to been done by the Pefendants without having " obtained and entered " any, such certificate: Now it was a distinct offence to do this act, without hav ing obtained the certificate. It was another tint offence ,to extract such a pri.•bate, without hal , . ing lentered such' certificate ; this declaration, he ; contended,„ was therefore bad, and no judginent could be,given on it. The second 'objeCtion was, That this was an ac tiOn against two I.,ersons jointly, against Nathaniek and George Gosslings for one act, and that ad of 'a criminal nature, w hich e ver y thing to which a penalty is attached, must be taken to be ; this was contrary to the:. rule of law,- which provided,. that one person •shill' not be criminally responsible for the •aa. of another ; each should have been charged for his• Own aft only.. The declaration on this ac. count also was.bad, and therefore no' judgment could be pronounced ()nit. These objections, he said, were sbfficienr to dis. 'pose of this case, but there was another, which he would state... That this, PtitiOff could not,recover in this action, because this statute did, not give this right of action to a• common inforaierule to - shew. cause granted ; at the same time, the Court direded that copies should be (kik erctl to the Judges,.of the mate,"tral parrs ctf the declaration, as tky hall a bearing upon the :points to be' iw,isted uplan,' but not the whole of the Meclaration, -be cause that would be putting the parties to an uonc- • sessary :e> pence. - COURT OF_COMMON P LEAS, MAY 6.
