This was an action for compensation in damages Tor an assault and false imprisonment ; to Ivhich the defendant pleaded, first, that he had at the time rea son to believe that the plaintiff had committed a • felony; and secondly, that he had been first assaulted.

The defendant and his wife, however, Stated that they had discovered other losses (such as 4 oes, boots, &c.), and insisted on searching his trunks, unless he paid the week's rent, which was done on the following Monday. This, Mr. Smith declined, and was starting in a hackney-coach when Mrs. Treherne ordered the street-keeper to talce him on a charge of felony. This was done with some trouble, and Mr. Smith taken to the FBch -house, arid from thence to Marlborough-street olice-office, where h e was di sc h arge d .

SM AL L- Pox.— The small-pox has lately been very rife at Fullwood, near this place: there have been few families in which the children have escaped, and several have hail the disease fatally. It is painful to have to attribute the visitations of this terrible pest in this, as in most uther c.:ses, to a culpable neglect of vaccination. The same disease, we lament to state, is at this time mak ing great ravages in Gilesgate, in Durham. In addition to several children, Mr. WILLIAM CORNER, aged 32, Mr. JOHN MEGossoN, aged 23, and Miss DOROTHY DIXON, aged 22, have within little more than a month Ellett victims to this loathsome disease. The circum stances attending the death of -the first named individual demand fiorn us particular observation. Mr. CORNER, who was a respectable farmer, awl who 'id been married scarcely a month, was passing along Gilesgate a few weeks ago, when he observed, standing at the door of a house there, a young man, who exhibited the most appalling features of the distemper. Mr. C. sickened at the sight, and hastened to the house of his father in-law, observing he was sure he had taken the infection, for he felt it in his nostrils. A few clays, alas, proved what he had stated to be too true, and both he and his friend, JOHN MEGGE • SON (who attended hint in his illness) now repose in the silent tomb, the victims of this unwarrantable exhibition. —Sheffield Mercury. LITERATURE. THE MANUAL OF SCIENCE AND LITERATURE, Nos. 1. to VI. This is a well-conecived and well-edited Miscellany combining hi.tory with science—theory with prac tice —notices of she fine arts with treati.: es chanical inventimo: biography with ant.c.kite—and original Literary Criticism with sound moral and statistic disquisitions. These are vast ranges in intel. lect for one and the same miscellany to undertake; and when we assert that they have been undertaken successfully, the merits of the Editor, and his (no doubt numerous) contributors, will.be proportionately enhanced. The work is a weekly production, and by coming out in sixpenny parts, on good lasting paper, and a capital readable type, will doubtless become a favourite with the middle and more es pecially with 'the lower classes, to whose literary wants it ably and chiefly administers. THE MONTHLY REVIEW. The information displayed in the present number of oae of the most respectable and sensibly con ducted periodicals of the day, is marked by great judgment and versatility. The critical opinions ad vanced in the different Reviews are marked by much sagacity; more especially in the article entitled " The Spirit of Philosophy," which is an elaborate analysis of Victor Cousin's " Nouveaux Fragmens PhilosOphiques,",and discusses its comprehensive sub jects with the ease, the fullness, and the conscious power of a master. It is very appropriately placed between a light sketchy criticism on a recent work, " The Flowers of Fancy," and an able notice of Count Segur's " History of Russia and Peter the Great." But indeed the arrangement of the whole number— to say nothing of the literary merit of the different articles—is entitled to very great attention. We regret that our limits will not permit us to do more than generally commend this instructive and entertaining periodical. EDWARDS'S BOTANICAL REGISTER ; or ORNA. MENTAL FLOWER GARDEN and SHRUBBERY. Continued by JOHN LINDLEY, Eq. Professor of Botany to the University of London. —No, HI. of the 2d Vol. Nev; Series. The present number introduces us to a beautiful figure of the splendid gold and silver Honeysuckle of China (Caprifolium longiflorum), so called from the brilliancy of its yellow and white flowers, show ing to peculiar advantage amongst its dark foliage. It is a hardy climbing shrub of easy culture. Through the libe►ality anti munificence of the Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company, and the laborious and successful researches of Dr. \Val lich, the Botanical community, as well as every ad mirer of the beauties of nature, are likely to be sup plied with the knowledge of an almost uninterrupted succession of lovely and fragrant flowering plants and shrubs, through the medium of this justly esteemed work. This number contains no less than three or four, out of the eight subjects figured, derived from this source, all of considerable beauty and interest. Perhaps if preference be given it will be to the Azure-flowered Netseed, (Spermadictyon azureum.) A shrub growing to ten or twelve feet high, well furnished with branches, and the blossom perfuming the air by their delicious fragrance for several months duration. Little inferior are Mr. Sabine's " Rod lia," " Thyrse-flowered, Reevesia," and " Bristly stemmed Gooseberry." MEETING OF WEAVERS.--RIOTS ! ROCHDALE, APRIL 30.—0 n Tuesday morning, he 28th ult. a meeting of the flannel weavers, ac cording to adjournment, took place upon Cronky shaw, and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather upwards of 1000 persons assembled. The speakers opened the proceedings by stating that some disaffected districts had witheld their quota to the general stock, and that individual weavers bad themselves brought on many of the existing griev. ances by acting in opposition to the Union, and the welfare of the trade. It was resolved (as a means of remedying the evils complained of) that the weekly contributions of the weavers and spinners should be doubled, and that they should proceed forthwith in a body to those districts which had withheld their subscriptions from the general stock. The persons composing the meeting then visited several districts in the township of Butterworth, where they succeeded in the objects of their mis sion. On arriving at Milnrow, they were informed that some loom-holders near that place were act ing in opposition to the Union, and the infor- mation being confirmed, a majority of th e weavers immediately determined to collect the shuttles from all who were acting against the inte rests of the trade. This operation immediat e l y commenced, and th e w h o l e o f W e d nes d ay and to day, the weavers have been employed in collecting shuttles from those who were paying under the " Statement Prices." Opposition indeed appears only to increase the tumult, for Mr. Samuel Lomas, Mr. Wm. Robinson's, and many other shops were yesterday forcibly entered, and the shuttles removed. To-day the only loom-shop from which they anti cipated any opposition was that of Messrs. Chad wick and Sons, which it was thought by many they would not venture to attack. The weaver:, how ever, so early as eleven o'clock this morning, pro ceeded to Messrs. Chadwick's, the door of which they found firmly secured by bales of wool; but an entrance was effected by the windows, and the work of destruction ensued. I am sorry to add, that it is reported the damage done at this shop will amount to several hundred pounds. The town is now in a state of great alarm, and the soldiers are expected every hour. Scarcely anything is talked of but the proceedings of the weavers. When the attack was made on Messrs. Chadwick's, Mr. Wm. Chadwick threw a sticking knife among the crowd, which fell upon a spectator, and wounded him severely. ROCHDALE, MAY I.—About five o'clock yester day afternoon, the weavers returned from their ex pedition, and proceeded in a body to Cronkyshaw, in order to arrange for another meeting before they dispersed to their respective places of abode. A party of foot soldiers had, by this time, arrived ; and the constables seized one of the weavers who was straggling behind the main body, with something concealed under his apron. and conveyed him to the prison. About twenty-two horse soldiers soon after arrived, and they immediately proceeded to Cronky shaw, led by J. Entwistle, Esq., a Magistrate, and the officers who commanded them. On their ap pearance, the weavers dispersed, and the soldiers returned with three prisoners. The military then proceeded to the Coach and Horses Inn, Blackwater-street, and brought away three other prisoners, together with the weavers' Union box, which contained their central fund or money, and conveyed it, along with the men, to prison. Until three o'clock this morning, the constables and sol diers were engaged in collecting the shuttles which the weavers had taken, and in apprehending any one they can find who can be identified as an active per son in the shuttle-gathering. The town is in a state of great commotion : the weavers are walking the streets, not knowing what will be the termination of this unpleasant affair. Wives are lamenting for their husbands, and mothers for their children. — Twenty-three prisoners have just been brought to the Police-office, escorted by a party of dragoons; but there being only one Magistrate present, they rarniandori till this (Inv A J., FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

The Duke and Duchess then intend to take up their permanent residence is this coun try. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE is also expected; but there is a difference between the Ro) al Duke and the Marquis of CIiOLMONDELEY about the taking possession of Cholmon deley House, which his Royal highness has purchased of the Marquis ; the Noble Lord wishing to keep the house over this season, and the Royal Duke wishing to take pos session immediately.

DUBLIN, APRIL 29.—With respect to the slander which was circulated against Lady AGNES ByNo, a ♦ery curious interview has taken place between one of those persons from whom it first originated, and Admiral Sir CHARLES PAGET. By some means or other the family of the Marquis of ANGLESEA learned that the slander had been first circulated by means of a letter written by Mr. G-- G—, of Cork, to a Mr. S— B---, a gen tleman possessed of a large fortune, and having estates in the county of Tipperary.—Admiral PAGET called, a few days since on Mr. S--- B---, and demanded from him the letter that had been written by Mr. G— C—. Mr. B. said that he did not think he could in honour give it up. " Very well, Sir," observed Admiral PAGET; 4 4 if you retain that letter, the members of my family may, if they choose, go to law with you ; but by there is not a public place where I shall meet you that I will not horsewhip you !" This threat had the desired effect, and thus the letter was procured, which will he one of the grounds of prosecution against Mr. Morning Paper. We are happy to learn that Mr. KEAN is rapidly recovering, and is so far improved in health as to be able to resume his professional duties on Monday next.— Dublin Register, April 30. At Pontefract Sessions, on Monday, about noon, the Hon.

The Exhibition is to be opened to the Public this day, and we are gratified in stating that the collec tion this year is by far the most splendid that has ever yet been submitted to inspection. LAWRENCE has eight portraits, all as usual of the highest excellence. The subjects are—the " Duke of Clarencv,"'• Miss Macdonald," the " Duchess of Rich mond," " Lord Durham," " Southey, the Poet," the Marchioness of Salisbury," " Mr. Soane," and " Mrs. Locke." Mr. ETTY exhiirits a splendid picture of " Benaiah slaying two lion-like men of Moab." The same artist has a'so another picture equally excellent, though differ ent in style, of " Hero and Leander." Mr. HILTON presents one picture in every respect worthy of his established reputation—the subject is, " The meeting of Abraham's Servant and Rebecca." Mr. CALLcorr has sent several fine pictures, one of which in particular, "Morning," excited much admira tion on account of its Claude like effect. Near this picture is one by Mr. E. LANDSEER, " An illicit Whisky Still in the Highlands," which is perhaps the best this clever young man has yet produced. The Exhibition is graced by several pictures from the pencil of Mr. COLLINS, which are perfectly true to nature. Mr. TURNER has endeavoured to embody so►se extra ordinary imaginations in the gorgeous colours for which his pencil has for some time been remarkable. The most striking of his works is " Ulysses deriding Polyphemus." The admirers of Mr. Wtr.x.tE will be equally surprised and delighted to hear that he has this season come forward with renewed vigour. He exhibits no less than eight pictures. Of the versatile character of these works some idea may be farmed by the announcement of their titles : their excellence can be appreciated by personal inspection alone. The subjects on which this celebrated Artist ban employed his restored energies are a full-length portrait of the late " Earl of Kellie ;" •' a Spanish Posado ;" " Car dinals, Priests, and Roman Citizens washing the Pilgrims' Feet ;" " the Defence of Saragossa ;" " a Roman Prin cess and her Attendant washing the Female Pilgrims feet ;" " the Confessional ;" " the Guerilla's Departure ;" " Calabrian Shepherds playing their Hymns to the Ma donna."

Mr. CHALON has some good paintings, in addition to some drawir gs executed with his accustomed taste. Mr. HENILY l'AnxE (a young Architect orthe first promise) has a large and beautiful picture--a Design for a Country Seat, decidedly one of the finest and most tssteful things of the kind we have ever beheld. Mn. POPE has a splendid performance of Fruit and Flowers. In addition to these there is a host of small pictures, worthy of observation, by Messrs. HOWARD, LEE, MUL READY, TURNER, WARD, BORE, BRIGGS, CONSTABLE, GILL, KIDD, CLINT, &c.—Morning Paper.

WARR INGTON MAY-DAY REGATTA.- Yesterday being May-day, the annual Regatta, which was commenced last year, took place at Warrington. The weather was peculiarly auspicious, and as, on the former occasion, there was an immense assemblage on the hanks of the river, to witness the sports of the day.—Man cheater Advertiser. SALISBURY, MAY 2 .---DESTR UCTIVE FIRE AT WELL3.-On Tuesday morning, at twelve o'clock, a very alarming and serious fire broke out in tha western part of this city ; several houses have already fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element, and at this moment (three o'clock) the fire is still raging. A number of poor families are already rendered entirely destitute, and us the wind is blowing strong from the north-west, much further damage is expected.—Hants Advertiser. JONATHAN MARTIN.—This celebrated Per sonage, on hearing of the attempt made to fire Westmin ster Abbey, appeared to take it much to heart; he seemed to consider his merits neglected, as an old servant; and said that " GOD had called in another person to do his work."—Doncaster Gazette. The ardent anti-cathedralist, JONATHAN MARTIN, passed through Stamford on Monday night, on his way from York Castle to St. Luke's Hospital, London. In the course of his transit he said he was merely going to town to have an audience with the KING, and after wards to burn down St. Paul's.—Stanford News. FI RE ! T. —Lately, while a farmer was o►t his way home with a load of lime, he observed smoke ascend ing from his cart (caused by a previous shower), a pheno menon the philosophical husbandman could only account for by the presence of fire; and to quench the devouring element he immediately commenced throwing water among the lime; on which his companion observed, he would set his cart on fire; John replied, " Gin water pit it in, I kenna what would pit it out !"—Berwick Advertiser. TRUE ENGLISH FEELING.—A butcher in the vicinity of the Commercial-road, a few days ago killed an ox, and sent pact of the beef and a quantity of the suet to his son-in-law, a weaver in Bethnal-green, who hung it up so near to the window, that some one in the night broke a pane of glass and carried off the suet. Saturday morning the weaver, missing his suet, went to a public house in the neighbourhood, where he posted up the fol lowing notice, which still remains an evidence of the right John Bull generosity and spirit :—" Whereas last night a quantity of beef suet was taken away from the house of JAMES HENRY WOODYORD--thiS is to give notice, that if the person who took it away will appear, and prove that he was forced to do so by distress, the said .JAMES HENRY WOODFORfI will give him half a dozen pounds of flour to make the suet into dumplings ; but if he cannot prove that he was in distress when he stole it, the said JAMES WOODFORD will Arrhe 1.! CONCERT AT GUILDHALL. • 1 On Saturday morning a grand concert took place he :c a ilso, t errri G iseei ni t rt i e l a d s l Guildhall, composeds fsoi thebral benefit t t eo h tt e hrioaet•aroell eqiovu ee ols o fti f l t ti Bt d :a i ii s ere t o r sgn e sri s ca ; al e :to d . rp) rolestga‘is:..'e,ei. progress , at Spitalfields and Bethnal-green. The performance of th • performed, as we believe it now invariably is, with the addition of Mozart's accompaniments, which ten, of Vienna, with the view of bringing the work in instrumental music. The numerous orchestra at Guildhall rendered the beauty of Mozart's decora tions strikingly manifest. The performers, both vocal and instrumental, contributed their exertions gratuitously. The orchestra, which was led by Mr. F. Cramer, and conducted by Sir G. Smart, boasted the powerful talents of Messrs. Lindlev, Dragonetti, Nicholson, Willman, and other eminent instrumentalists ; while the vocal department pre sented the elite of our English singers, viz. Paton, Mrs. W. Knyvett, Messrs. Braham, E. Tay lor, Phillips, &e. The chores was as complete as could be desired. Braham, of course, opened the Oratorio, for as long as he lives, or at least as long as he sings, " Comfort ye," and " Every valley," must continue his exclusive domain. His closing cadence, however, was not exactly in good taste. Miss Paton's " Rejoice greatly" yeas very brilliant; and in " There were shepherds," I s i l c i a e c m y. anag m e r t the s l .iv .sot .K io v o ce nyi,et passages esb beautiful great t i lvoi(e de and chaste style of execution were perfectly appropriate to the songs allotted to her ; and the bass parts of the Oratorio were admirably sung by Messrs. E. Taylor and Phillips. To no inconsiderable portion of the audience the bonne bouche of the whole performance was a song from Mademoiselle Sontag, introduced between the first and second parts of the oratorio. This treat was the more gratifying, inasmuch as it was in some measure unexpected. The accomplished Byre!! arrived in London only last Tuesday, and on being informed of the intended concert and its benevolent object, she immediately tendered the aid of her , powerful talent. She sang Guglielmi's Gratia. - agimus in a style which afforded convincing proof that her excellence is not merely confined to florid execution. Her voice has lost none of its delicious silvery sweetness; and with regard to power (which after all, is a secondary consideration with those who prefer music to noise), we are inclined .to be lieve it has increased rather than diminished since we heard her during the last opera season, Her sing ing on Saturday certainly exhibited no trace of the feebleness of which hypercritics have sometimes thought proper to complain, and we are at a loss to conceive a better test of a s'nger's power of voice than an effective performance in such a place as Guildhall. She sang Gratin agimus with exqui site brilliancy and spirit ; and the extraordinary facility and accuracy with which she excuted the eatcna di tt illi must have astonished those who have not witnessed the facility with which she can per form feats of far greater difficulty. Willman's ob ligato accompaniment on the clarionet was delicious, and the performance excited a rapturous and uni versal encore. The bills enumerated a long list of royal and nob►e patrons and patronesses, and, judging from the multitude of persons who filled the hall, it may be presumed that a considerable sum has been raisel for the charitable purpose for which the profits of the concert are destined. DRUIDICAL REMAINS IN GLENSHEE, (From the Perth Courier.) There are few places in the Highlands of Perth shire Where a greater number of vestiges of antiquity are to be found than in Glenalmornr and Glenshee, two of the wildest passes into ►he Grampians and the very centre of Ossianic ground. We have fre quently had to notice the discovery of ancient tombs in that district, which were brought to light on re moving some of the cairns which are there so numerous. Two of these heaps were lately opened or, the farm of Carrylea, on the estate of Captain Robertson of Tullybelton,* in which some interest ing monuments were found, which are thus described to us by a correspondent :—The cairns were about 160 yards distant from each other. In the first there were three large upright stones, four feet high, and neatly jointed together; the space within them being laid with smooth stones. In the centre of the same cairn (but whether surrounding or aside from the three stones previously described our in formant does not say) there was a circle formed of upright stories, three feet eight inches high, the stones being distant from each other about five feet. Within the circle so formed, was a belt of slate flags about three feet wide, and the ground thus inclosed contained an immense quantity of burnt ashes of wood and turf. " Near the outside of this cairn," our correspondent says, " there was another place the same as described but of a smaller size;" but whether this refers to the circle or to the three up right stones does not appear. In the other cairn stood a large stone, seven feet in length, four in breadth, and three feet thick, on which was cut a representation of the sun, moon, and stars. In various places of the cairn there were found vast quantities of human bones and ashes; and in the centre a place of about 70 square feet inclosed by stones three feet ten inches in height joined closely together. The ground within this inclosure was full of burnt human bones apparently run together into masses by the action of fire. Near the outside of this cairn were found four graves or pits, sur rounded with smooth stones and covered with flags, also containing human bones and ashes; and about 300 yards from the first cairn there was removed a few years since a hillock 36 feet in circumference composed entirely of burnt bones and ashes. Such is the account sent us by a person who was at the trouble of going several times to the places and taking down his observations with every possible care. There can be little doubt that the ground where these monuments stand had been consecrated to Druidical Rites, and that a more complete investigation of the relics would well repay the enquiry of the anti quary. if the description of the engraving on the stone be correct, that discovery may be considered one of the most interesting that has yet been made in Druidical antiquities from its connection with the well ascertained object of the superstitions of the Celts. There are indeed many circumstances which contribute to give no common interest to these dis coveries. The multitude of human bones—affecting the question respecting Druidical human sacrifices : the contiguity in some instances of the burnt heaps —illustrating the practice of passing between the fires, a custom which at Beltein is in some places of the country even yet practically kept up, and is pre served in the proverb of a person in straits being between Bel's two fires; the form and method of the pavement—which many have hitl:crto thought peculiar to Roman Monuments: the situation of the larger stones—whether indicative of being altars or bow-stones—these and many other circumstances will call for the examination of the Antiquary, and probably serve to illustrate some of the many knotty points connected with Druidical remains. * e. the Hill of Bel's Fire.

ACCIDENT AT THE DRAWING ROOM.— On Saturday an Inquest was held at the Turf Tap, Hyde Park-corner, on the body of FRANCES EMBLETON, a fine little gir!, about five year of age, who was accidentally run over, in Park-lane, on Thursday, by the Duchess of GLOUCESTEN'S carriage, when h er R o y a l Hi g h ness w ., s proceeding to th e Drawing-room.
