ROGERS'S IMPROVED FLANNEL, Ma nufactured from his Patent Yarn, of Wool only, con tinues to preserve a decided preference over every other species of Flannel, for its peculiar softness and not shrinking in walk- Mg. As a proof of which, the very extensive demand he has for the Article, both for Exportation and Horne Consumption, bears ample testimony. Its peculiar softness affords warmth and comfort to the tenderest habits, when other Flannels are found unpleasant. A saving of at least one-sixth in the quan. thy necessary, on account of not shrinking in washing, is a strong recommendation in point of economy. For Waistcoats, and Ladies' Under Coats, it is particularly recommended. The Proprietor has prepared an extensive Stock for the ap proaching season (in which considerable improvements have been made), so that his friends may be assured they will not be disappointed in the execution of their orders, which he re grets was the case during the last Winter. This Flannel may be obtained from the principal Drapers in Great Britain and Ireland ; and Wholesale, from the Patentee, JOHN S. ROGERS, Chester.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, Oct. 23. ASSAULT.—WARD versus STOLZ/ AXD This was an action brought by the p laintiff, who is a miller at Stratford, to recover from Richard Stokes (the 'proprietor of the Harrow Inn at Stratford), his two sons, and a person named Franc* compensation in damages for an assault committed upon him in the month of January last. Two witnesses having sworn to the auault, and the circum. stances attending it, His LORDSHIP suggested a reference. The Counsel on both sides having consulted together, agrood to a verdict for the plaintiff—Dansages 101. 1110WAUTX AXOTlalia v. JOU/. This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiff's, who are the executrices of Richard Howard, deceased, to recover from the defendant, who is a surgeon in Chancery.lane, the value of certain hooks, the preperty of the deceased. Mr. SCAULZTT (with who was Mr. Wrung) having stated the can, called Mr. George Tennant, a solicitor, who deposed that about a month previous to Mr. Howard's death, which took place in April 1819, lie was sent for to make a codicil to Mr. 11.'6 will. At this time Mr. Jones, who succeeded Mr. H. in his business, was anxious that the books should be left to him as a legacy , and wished Mr. T. to ask Mr. H. to do so. Mr. T. having drawn up the codicil, asked if the testator wished to give any other legacy, and he replied no. Witness communicated this to the defendant, who expressed great regret, and some time after wards told witness that Mr. H. bad givenhim some old medical books which were in the garret, but refused to give him the books (the subject of this action) is Chancery.lane. Witness then told the defendant if the testator should change his mind, be (witness) would at nny time be ready to draw up another codicil to the will, and that such a codicil would be *scenery. He was never afterwards called upon to draw up such a codicil. After the testator's death he went with the plaintiff to the de fendant's house, in order to ascertain the value of the books before probate could be taken out. The defeotlant thee said that the deceased made hies a gift of the books • and as a proof of that assertion be read !rem a periodical publiiiation a biogra. phical account of the deceased, furnished by the defendant. In that publication it was stated, that the deceased had made a gift of his library to the defendant. Its his cross examination be said, that he knew deceased had a short time before his death given away a good deal of his funded property. Such was the claim which the plaintiff con sidered the defendant had upon the testator, that she wished him to leave to Mr. Jones a legacy of 8009 i. which was given in the will to a person then dead. Re-examined.—lle asked deceased if he intended to leave any legacy to the defendant, and he replied " Nor the Jones's have got the business, that's enough for them." The deceased often told witness, that as his collection of books was rare he intended to give it to the British Museum. Mr. Rees, the plaintiff's Attorney, proved the demand made to the defendant fur the books, and his refusal to deliver them up. Mr. Ilaslewood deposed, that the deceased's collection of rare books on hawking, hunting, and angling, was very valuable. He had occasion in 1811 to borrow some rolnmes from the de. ceased ; sours of the volumes were worth from thirty to fifty guineas each. • • The defence set up was, that the deceased had marls a gift of the books to the defendant. Ann Davidson deposed, that she was servant to the deceased at the time of his death, ani for five or six years before. About tea days before his death, she, a Mn. Harris, now dead, and the defendant, were standing at his bedside. The defendant said to Mrs. 11. that the testator had made him a handsome present ; Mr. Howarth said, what's that you say ? to which the defendant replied, 1 was telling Mrs. H. of your kindness in bgiving me your books. The tonna: then gave a nod of appro ation. Mr. SCAILIIITT replied. Ilia Lotman?, in summing up, told the Jury, that if they believed Davidson, and were of opinion that the testator in tended to part with all interest in the library, eves if he should afterwards recover, their verdict must be for the defendant; but if they should be of opinion that he intended the gift to take effect at his death, then their verdict must be for the plaintiffs, as the defendant would then claim under a Nuncupative Will, and in this case the formalities necessary to make such a valid were not observed. The Jury found a verdict for the plabatlffe—Damagee 10001. (the damages laid in the declaration.) TURNS? •ND OTIISIB v. PllOll LXI) ornicas. This was an action of trover brought by the plaintiffs, who are the assignees of a bankrupt named Beaumont, to recover front the defendants, the master and owner of the ship Sir Charles .111`CarthY, the value of goods shipped on boar d that vessel in November last. The bankrupt was an upliolitsr at Maidstone, and on the 30th of October last committed an act of bankruptcy. On the 2d of November he had bills of lading signed for good shipped by him for Sierra Leone, and consigned to S wee p, On the lith of November the Captain w as served milli notice that Beaumont was a bankrupt, and not to deliver the goods at Sierra Leone. Ths Captain delivered the goods at Sierra Leone to Savage, and it was c ontended, that having signed a bill of lading before he got the notice, he was bound- to deliver the goods; but as it appeared from the evidence that the greater portion of the goods shipped belonged to the bankrupt , a vex , diet was found for the plaintiffs.—Damages 3001. TWYNAIbt V. cooly. This was an action for surgical assistance aid medicine. The plaintiff's son deposed, that his father practised in Kings. land-road as a Doctor, and cumi the most dangerous ulcers by the application of herbs, /c.c. The defendant, who is a cork cutter, was his patient for a bad leg, and witness heard hits say he was so well after being ten months ostler his father's care, that he could walk 20 miles without doing himself any harm. Cross.examined by Mr. Otrawtor—My father is by trade a leather breeches' maker, but God gave him the gift of coring sore legs. The Learned Counsel here handed to witness one of the plaintiff's cards, in which he professed to cure " Cancers while swelling; cancers after mortification had taken place; the stone, without cutting; dropsy, without tapping," &c. etc. That is one of my father's cards ; he cures by the " inspiration of Gon." For the defendant was called his son, who deposed that the plaintiff did the ees'endant no service ; on the contrary he was worse after leaving the plaintiff than before he went to him,— The plaintiff blistered the leg, and then applied caustic, which gave his father considerable pain. A respectable looking surgeon deposed, that the treatment deposed to by the last witness mammy im proper. The defend. ant applied for his advise, and he cured bun by the application of bandages • the disease was mime veins in ate lag,— .Verdict for the defendant.

Doctor Read, his detaining Creditor. Mr. Krwa said there were two grounds of opposition to the discharge of the Insolvent ; the one for putting his Reverend Client to litigious and vexatious costs, and the other for frau duleritly stating in his schedule, that he had no interest in the lands held by him ; the Insolvent held lands in the County of Kildare, which were subject to Tithes to the Rev. Me. Read, who was Rector of Clondalkin, in the County of Dublin ; in consequence of the Insolvent refusing to pay, he was obliged to proceed by process of law for enforcing the same before the Magistrates of the Country, and a decree was obtained against him to the amount of about 131. ; the Insolvent appealed to a second hearing before the Magistrates, and produced an order of Chancery, in order to impede the proceedings; a dis tress, however, was made under the warrant, but, through the litigious disposition of the Insolvent, the Rev. Gentleman was actually obliged to file a Bill in Chancery, which put him to upwards of 100/. costs. Counsel concluded by saying, lie would produce evidence to prove the Insolvent had an iruerest in the lands, and that lie would support the other part of the opposition. James Hamilton, Esq. sworn.—ls Agent to his Grace the Duke of Leinster; the Insolvent holds lands under the Duke ; there has not been as actual surrender ; his Grace had a feel ing towards Insolvent's family, and would have taken a sur render under certain condition, which were not complied with by the Insolvent; there is about 3701. rent now due to the Duke of Leinster ; a distress was made, and a sale took place, the produce of which might have amounted to half what was due; the Insolvent has no interest in the lands. Insolvent examined.—Was summoned by the Rev. Mr. Read, fur tithes amounting to 131.95. ; Insolvent offered the amount, if Mr. Read could prove his title; Insolvent attend ed the summons,. and Mr. Read would not go into it; in his absence, on soother day, the case was gone into, a warrant issued, and hie cattle put into pound, but when Insolvent went to Lord Cloncurry and stated the fact, lie ordered the cattle to be liberated; the Rev. Mr. Sin& told Insolvent he would hays his (the nsolvent's) head knoeking against the walls of a gaol ; Mr. Sands was entitled to a 'moiety of the tithes, if Mr. Read succeeded ; when Insolvent first attended the Magistrates, the case would not be gone into until Lord Cloncurry was present, and Mr. Nesbitt, a Magistrate, told Insolvent he should be apprised of the time Lord Cloncurry would attend, and should be present ; Insolvent, on hearing that Lord Cloncurry had conic home, wrote a letter to Mr. Nesbitt the day the Magistrates met, and sent it into the Ma histrates' room, when Mr. Sand s o p e ned the letter, put it into is pocket, an d had the warrant signed, under which his cattle were taken ; the tide to the tithes was disputed by till the ten.. entry ; Insolvent's father-in-law proved before the Magistrates that he knew the lands for en years,(he was steward for that period to the late Duke, and also to the present ) and that tithe war notpaid during that period, to his knowledge for those lands; has stated in his balance sheet, that the litigation with 3lr. Read was the cause of his insolvency, and he now swears that to be the fact, if he had not been so embarraiised, he might have paid his rent, in which case there would have been no distress made by his landlord. The Codas saw nothing in the defence set up by the In solvent against the payment of the tithes, under the circum stances stated by Counsel fur the opposing Creditor, that he should withhold his discharge, anti Counsel resorted to the testimony of the Insolvent, which testimony has not teen con tradicted, and the Rev. Gentleman who opposes his discharge was a competent witness in this Court, and yet ke has not at tempted to contradict his evidence. The Insolvent conceived the 31agistrates had acted harshly towards him, and the In. solicit bed put in a plea, as he doubted the claim which the Clergyman made of tithes, the consequence of which was, as the Rev. Gentlemen now complains that ha was put to vexa tious costs, the Court did not look upon it in that light, there was no colour to warrant the Court to withhold his discharge, and did forthwith discharge him.

HALIFAX, SEPT.IO.—TIie trade of this place is spoken of by uninformed persons as inconsiderable—trifling, scarcely worthy of notice ; and such opinions, travelling as they frequently do verbally, or in the course of correspondence with individuals in Great Britain and other parts of the world, produce impressions highly injurious, not only to the respectability but to the com mercial and agricultural interests both of the town and pro vioce. Nor is it in the power of language alone, however flowery or elegant, to correct errors thus widely disseminated, and prevent' the mischief which may be expected to flow from them. It is requisite to adduce facts, and indisputable facts, ere we can destroy reports and assertions thus erroneous ; and to such, having been favoured with them from a source of undoubted authenticity, we gladly refer : IMPORT Aim EXPORT TAADT OF VIALIPAX.

The dinner was provided by Mr. Miller, of the Exchange, and its variety, and the elegant style in which the whole was served up, has been rarely if ever surpassed in this town, and reflects the highest credit upon him ; the wines were allowed on all hands to be superior.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall for general purposes, yvhielt was fully attended. After the Minutes of the last Court had been read, a motion was made for permitting George Byron 'Whittaker, Zsq. and Peter Laurie, E:sq. Sheriffs, to take their seats in the Court on the Bench with the Aldermen, although not Members ; which was agreed to unanimously, and those Gentleman were then in troduced and teak their seats accordingly : Sir Jauts Sisaw presented a petition from the Marine School Society, praying a grant in a id of their funds. The Governors attended at the Bar; and ova of them, in a neat speech, addressed the Court, representing the claims which the Society had on the liberality of the Corporation. The Society had since its establishment educated 73,000 boys for the sea service, and during the last year no less a number than f. 46 buys were on the establishment at once. The boys which the Society educated were those of an age and description most dangerous to the Metropolis.—( Hear, hear!)--The society, in fact, converted probable felons into profitable seamen. The demand for the boys and the claims for admission were of late so great, that the funds of the Society bed been mash impove rished. They prayed the aid of the Corporation. sir JAMES SHAW ably supported the petition, which was referred to a Committee. Mr. Rios presented a petition from Mr. Williams, the patentee of the Sub-Roads, praying an adoption of his plan by the Corporation. Mr. William*, from the Bar of the Court, addressed them at great length, expatiating on the immense benefits by the &dup. tion of sub-roads; the nature of which has been so often and so fully detailed to the public, that it would he unnecessary to re peat the explanations. Mr. Mexs and Mr. FATELL thought the plan worthy of consideration, and it was unanimously referred to a Committee.

ZANTE, SIEPT. 16.—1 n the battle which took place at Agraplia between the Turks and the Greeks, and in which Bozzaris lost his life, this warrior chose 250 of his best troops, and towards midnight, when the Turks were buried in the most profuend sleep, he penetrated into the middle of their camp, having killed the sentinels of the advanced posts. When he reached the tents of Kioja Bey, and and of Ishmael Bascha Pilaus, two Chiefs, he made them both prison ens. Then giving the signal agreed on to the Greeks, they fell on the Turks on all sides.— carnage lasted more than two hours, and was terrible. In the darkness, several corps of Turks and Albanians engaged one another with out being sensible 'of their erro r . The defeat was complete, and the loss of the Turks estitstat ed at more than sipau men. The Greeks remelt ed masters of the enemy's camp, in which they found all the artillery, the military chest, end considerable quantities of provisions and am munition, of arms, and' wealth, the fruit of pil lage antLof Asiatic luxury, 'besides several thou sand horses, and 7,000 head of cattle. Ins or Conts,Auci. 111.—(From a private. later.)!--The 25th May we landed with •sr division in the bay of Kisarnos. This division was commanded by Emmanuel Tarnbazia, on: of the principals of Hydra, appointed by the Greek Governmeut Governor-General of the Isle, under the the tide of Harmost of Crete. The great extent of Candle., and some private consi derations, bad induced the Government to supersede the limit ed power of the ft.parks, established in the other islands of the Archipelago by that of the Harmoites, whole powers ar: more extensive. The day after our arrival, the Governor land ed the troops, ten piecei of cannon, and other arms, and order ed this division to sail for the ports where the blockade should be straitened: Be then proposed to the Turks of Kisamos to capitulate, to avoid useless waste of blood. The Turks first accepted the proposition, but on the news spread by some rich Turkish proprietors, of the arrival of the Turkish fleet, they broke tke capitulation. Warmly attacked by two batteries erected immediately after their refusal, they thought themselves very happy to he allowed to capitulate; and two days after, were embarked, to the number of 3,000, the sad relict of a pa pulation of 7,00, for Canes. Four Beys only were retained, conformably to the capitula tion, to serve as guarantees for tlit: stipulation, under which the Alussulmans of the last named place were to give up to the Greeks all the Christian inhabitants who had survived the mas sacres which the former had exercised against them. Tar from satisfying this condition, the commander of Canea got posses• lion of two of our transports, and said, that as for the four Beys who had surrendered a place they should have defended, the Governor might, if he chose, roast them, or eat them raw. After the surrender of Kitarnos, the Governor marched on the canton of Selipon. Already repulsed from all the positions in this canton, the Turk. had shut themselves up in &Upon, the chief town. Besides its fortifications, this city is surround• ed by very thick ibrests of olives and planes, which mane it of very difficult access. The Governor proposed theism, ca• pitulation he had granted to Kisamos. On their refitted he erected two batteries, on an eminence which overhangs OlitAlUt, and attacked the town. Seeing resistance impossible, the Turks fled towards Canes in the night. Many were overtaken and perished. The Governor Tornbesi , then reduced in fourteen days two fortresses, very important from their position. lie then turned his attention to the maritime operations, which he directed against a division of the Turkish fleet, which app eared early is June on the shores of Candia, and against the Egyptian aqu a . dron, which succeeded the fi rst. The following remarkable occurrences took place in relation to these operations : The division of the Turkish fleet surprised in the port of Ca nes a Hydriot brig, commanded by the intrepid ISlax?ornure„— A few days before, this Captain had battered and sunk a fine galliot, which the Pacha of Canes had sent with "lOU of the most determined Janizaries, and provisionsand ammunition to the relief of liisemos. This time surprised at the bottom of a gulph, this Captain was summoned by the Commander of the Ottoman division. On his refusal, a corvette and a brig were sent against him, and placed him between two fires. After an action of more than an hour, Captain Altacrornure shot away two of the brig's masts, and thus cleared himself on one side; he then forced his way through the enemy's division, and med. himself. Pursued and surprised next morning in a bay, where he had anchored at night, he landed a part of his artillery, ,at. tacked the enemy by sea and land, and drove him off. Another Greek brig, surprised also in Suda, saved itself by the same expedient. The extreme contempt of the Greek sail. ors for the 'f arks has been every where justified by events.— With equal forces the former have always crushed their ene mies, while the latter, with a marked superiority, have never been able to take, or even to injure, the smallest tamed vessel of the Archipelago. The Seraskier of Candia, Nassau Pach*, as active and able Albanian, died of the plague. The Peetutof Ketymen, who has succeeded to the chief corrimand, is very ih (trim. to him. The Turkish troops, who were 2b,000 at tip beginning of the war, are now, in spite of the reinfbrcements rece i ve d, reduced to 10,000. Our's, who at the beginnmg of the revolution were only 7,000, are tripled. ,Acetordinwto the last reports presented to the Governor from ditterent parrs of the Isle, the Greeks in arms in ditferent parts of Canditsare more than 30,000. A great number of Greeks flanti Attie Minor, and other places, where the excesses of the Turks have been most felt, come to settle in this tine island, the population of which they daily augment. The crop of this year is most**. pitious ; that of olives, the principal article of produce, is so abundant that the inhabitants cannot gather it all in. The beauties of this magnificent isle, justly called the Earthly Pant. dire, are beyond the descriptions you read in travels. This is one of the reasons why the Turks, who were settled, in Candia, endeavour to bold it with so marked an obstirmay.—("Conati tationnsi. Tux Barrism Musrum.—The new building for the reception of the Library presented by hit Majesty is proceeding with great rapidity ; the foundations, which are of immense thickness, are now laid. The edifice will be 300 feet in length and 70 feet high. There will be only one story above the basement, and the rooms are to be 30 feet height. When completed, it part of the old Museum will be taken down, and as the new repositories are finished the whole of the old building will be removed.
