THE LONDON JOURNALL DAILY E,rtracts from,the Morning Papers, July 23. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] A vessel has arrived at Stang-ate-creek from Gibraltar, which place she sailed from on the 4th instant. A letter received by her, of the above date, advises' that information had that moment arrived there of the French army having :retired from St. Mary's to. Xeres, in consequence of several reverses which General Rourinont had experienced in the neighbourhood of Seville. This account agrees in so many particulars. with 'private intelligence received last week from Paris, that strong hopes are - entertained of its authenticity; for letters from the French Ca pital; dated on Thursday last, and received here on Saturday, stated, that on .the 2d, 3d, and 4th July several affairs occurred betwixt the Con. 'stitutional troops under the orders of Villa. • Cainpa and Lopez Banos, and those of the French conducted by Bourmont, and that the re .''cult had been the abandonment of Seville by the latter. Letters 'received here direct from Xeres, of the 27th ult., also stated that the Spaniards had collected a large force at Chicalana, and that de cisive operations ?were daily expected. It may therefore be reasonably co.ncluded that some-im portant events have occurred in this quarter, and the arrival of the steam-ship is consequently ltioked for with increased anxiety. The Gib- ratter letters farther state that Cadiz was well supplied with provisions, although prices had risen in consequence of the expected siege. The French force in the neighbourhood - did not ex ceed 5,000 men, , was without artillery, and inca pable of investing the smallest fortress in Spain. With the addition of another cypher to the above figures, the French lay before Cadiz during the last inva‘lon for two years, and, us it is well known,'were never able to get possession of it.— It is, therefore, farcicaj to suppose that this strong city can ever be reduced by means so paltry as the French have now assembled in Andalusia. [MORNING POST.] • W received additional Papers last night from Paris to the 'list instant. Their contents possess st 9 importance, An extract from the Journal de Perpignan, of the 19.1 th, asserts that intelligence had just reached that city, announcing the death of Mina ; but the Parisian Editor justly observes, that neither the official...bulletins nor any of the private letters received, though of a later date, had made any mention of that event. The re port is therefore entitled to no credit ; for when we find it doubted by the erench them selves, nho have so many reasons to wish it true, we must suppose OW its want of foundation was too obi, ious to allow them to use it even for the purpose of tempo, ary delusion. Another report was also prevalent in Paris, but considered at least premature, that the Pope had died in conse quence of his late accident. The decease of this aged Ponliff at the present juncture would be chiefly important, becatp.o it would afford a ground of quarrel to' the members of the 110 1 . Y Alliance, each of whom it is expected would support the interest of different candidates. — Austria is welt known to have nn (le to that quarter ; for, with an ,Austrian Prince in the Pupal chair, the whole of-Italy would be as com pletely under the sway of the Emperor Francis as his own, hereditary states.—Together with these Papers private letters, dated on Saturday night, have been. received. They state that the Spanish Cortes had made overtures to the Madrid Regency, and that the following were the propositions submitted for consideration Ist, that in the event of King Ferdinand being given up, the appointment of his Ministers should be at his own discretion ; and, 2dly, that no Act should be passed by the Regency to annul the Loans raised under the Constitutional Go- Vernmetit." N6thing, it is added, was said re specting the personal safety of the members of the Cortes, because they conceived that if the King were at liberty to select his own Ministers, they would be men of constitutionrl principles from whom they would have no persecutions to appre hend. But letters from Madrid of the 19th inst. seem to intimate that another course is to be pur sued, and that the*llegency was determined to " make an example of ail those members who had been the means of protracting the war, when ever it should get them within its power ?" if such a determination be really taken, or a dispo sition to take it exist, negotiating is useless, and war must continue till the people, freed from the influence of self-exposed traitors, rise in ven geance against the inVaders, or till the Cortes nobly perish with the Constitution. [ IRITISH PRESS.] It is some consolation to turn from the dark and. blood-stained scene of national outrage and °pp . ( scion in the west of Europe, to hail the day star of freedom, which is gradually growing brighter in the east. The success of the gallant. Christians in the Peloponnesus and Morea appears to have roused the slumbering spirit of the in habitants of• Thessaly, particularly those dwelling in the chain of Mount Olympus, who rose and threUte"ned in arms the communications of the Turkish bands. The important rising is stated to have begun in the mountains known by the name of •the Chain of Olympus, and to have spread southwards as far As•Massone. To the south, all the islands had taken arms as far as towards Lake Balla, and to the promontory of St. Georgeoieer the Golf of Vola ; ,and, in the north, little corps of insurgents had posted themselves in the moun tains of Volum', Serria, and Dernenisza, threat ening the road leading from Macedonia to Larisa. Odysseus, the Greek - leader, after for tifying Athens with care, and leaving a sufficient garrison in the Accopolis, had advanced at the head of 8.000 men by Marathon, towards Betio nizza ; other corps of inhabitants, trained to arms, had advanced also to the equally renowned Thermopy la:, under other leaders. iOdysseus intended, it is said, to proceed towards the ,Peneus, and. attack the Turks, whose 'rabble were assembled there ) to the number of twenty thousand. But the Paella of Scutari was stated to be in march, at the head of a corps of Albanians, by loannina, towards the Peneus, and a strong Turkish reinforcement from Adrianople was also said to be moving on the same point. The brave Odysseus would thus be compelled by superior force to act on the, de fensive, and maintain the mountain warfare, which has, hitherto been so destructive to the infidels. The names of Marathon and .',rhemo- pylat recall the most, glorious recollections ; at one, Greece triumphed against the innumer able bands of the proud Persian ; at the other, her warriors, few and determined, baffled a count less host, and at length fell, with the brave Leo . nidas, amid heaps of slain. The cause of Greece is now equally inciting; every thing a nation can value rests on the effort. its people are the same as they were ages since; but centuries of tyranny degraded and unnerved them. They have re deemed their character and shewn themselves worthy of their great ancestors. If this last effort of the Ottoman should fail, as we trust it will, the liberty of Greece islissured, and the greatest results in that fine and interesting portion of Europe may he expected to follow. [N ENV TIMES.] I In il ' the dullness of the dog days, it becomes extremely difficulty for the Opposition Paperi to find topics for the amusement of their readers. — Leaving, therefore, the beaten road of fact, they are obliged to draw on their imagination ; acid the action _on which they seem chiefly to rely at present is a change of Ministers. With singular modesty, herwever, they do not so much as hint that their own friends are to come That long cherished hope is at last abandoned. But the Tories, it seems,- are to quarrel among themselves, and , to throw overboard those two useless and insignificant personages, Lord Liver pool and Mr. Canning !—Very ingenious, to be sure, is' this hint. No doubt lt will be taken. The two eminent personages in question will be' driven into the ranks of the Whigs ; and we shall then see, what we have not s ee n the , 4e . sixteen years, a detent and respectable Opposition.—But how is all this ,to be brought about? Why, the story, is told with some affected prudery, and there is a pretence of not naming individuals; but the gauze is meant to be: seen through, and the characterS are designated in a manner which is certainly not intended for congealment. The Lord Chancellor, indeed, is mentioned by his official title : the Duke of York is called .the Heir Apparent ; the Marquis of Hertford is " a Noble Marquis,"Aind The Courier is called a leading Tory Journal. Well, then, we are told that the Marquis of Hertford has in view the forma tion of a new Administration ; that he is par ticularly .connected with - T he Courier; that he is displeased with the moderation of the Cabinet'; that some other great Borough.. mongers are of the same way of thinking,: that the Duke agrees with them in sentiment— these are the premise S—and from these, by a most singular and ingenious kilid of logic, is de duced the consequence, namely, that the present . First Lind of the Treasury and tlie ;Secretary for Foreign Affairs must be dismissed !—The English have the reputation of being 4 . 4 a thinking people" --What must they think then of such sense less trash as this ? It is really not fit for a student of hic,, hwc, live, and horUns, Marini;. horum.-- The head boy in the petty class pf any school in the metropolis could invent a more plausible piece of nonsense. And upon what .foundation does the wondrous fabric. rest?--Why, Sir Charles Long thinks that 'the works of-art should be kept in Great Russell-street ; and Mr. Croker think thelNiews would be a better spot : Mr. HuskisSon entertains one opinioh on the Silk- Weavers' Bill, and the Lord Chancellor en tertaitis another ! We, should like to know how many subjects there are on which any six Members of Opposition agree—:always ex cepting the opinion that this unhappy nation is ruined in consequence of not having. follo . wed Whig Counsels4,—Briefly there is not a syllable, we will not say of truth or probability, hut' not even of plausibility, itt the notion of this splitting of the Cabinet. [THE TIMES 4 . Every post from Ireland brings intelligence of some new calamity, growing out of the Orange demonstrations of the 19. th inst., which took place in the remoter parts of the country, notwithstand ing the injunctions of what these people call their "Grand Lodge" in Dublin.; and in disregard of the promises founded on those injunctions, that no such provocation to a breach of the public peace would be - given. It appeari, that somewhere between Monaghan and Armagh, a party of Orangemen, who had been celebrating the day, Und were returning to Monaghan with their arms, fired upon a body of country-people by the road side, when one man was killed and five wounded ---three, it is affirmed, mortally. The result of the coroner's inquest is not stated, • nor is any authentic evidence brought forward, to prove-which party began the melancholy fray.— Government, it is said,have issued express orders for an immediate prosecution of those who may be accused of the murders, without regard to rank or religion ; to which end, the examina tions of the wounded men have been taken by the Crown Solicitor,—as other - examinations have likewise been sworn by individuals of the Orange party, implicating their wounded adver saries. .tt would seem, however, that crimes like these, susceptible of explanation from the klu'wn state of factions in Ireland, are not the only ones which disgrace that wretched country. Niece men at Cork have been sentenced to death for burning some valuable mills at. Castletown- Roche, and, grievous to say, the offenders are described as belonging to a more decent class of society than that which► has been usually productive of outrages against the laws. The Messrs. Magnify from London, who established paper-rnills in the same county, have had their property destroyed from no conceivable motive but fiendlike wickedness and malice. These gentlemen had embarked a considerable capital in their business, and gave work to many of the neighbouring poor, who are now plundered of their sole means of subsistence by the seine bru tal spirit threngh which their employers have suffered. This it is to tolerate, as We are told' must be done in Ireland, the feuds and violefices of a more than half-barbarous community.— l'here is no more lamentahle'weakness than that of imagining, that -if a loOse be given by the ruling, power to crimes in any specific direction, the criminal propensity will confine its operations within the designated limits. He who tells two bodies of men that if they are satisfied with tor menting and persecuting each other, they need not apprehend molestation from him, forgets that the spiritof injustice, revenge, and - barbarity,is. ever on the lciok•out for fresh sources of excitement, and for new modes of indulgence; and that if the conscience be set free from restraint on one side, it will un• shackle itself on every other. The lower Irish (we do not mean exchisiiely the very lowest) are now, and have long 'been, deplorable inns , trations of this truth. They have seen every thing in their country sacrificed to party vio lence ; they have seen all transgressions of law ,and justice pleading party for their excuse, and that plea acknowledged. The moral principle being ; thus partially undermined, -they have gra dually diversified, at the instigation of their seve ral caprices, the instances in which they chose to exempt themselves from its authority ; and have raised every evil passion .of human nature..intto a tribunal for the sanctification of its OWES objects, and for the redress of its own imagined wrongs. —T o us, indeed, the belief does most power fully suggest itself, that without a more diligent and -efficacious system of moral instruction— and that enforced by a purer practice in those to whom the multitude resort for examples — we may legislate and punish, and pour troops into the island, nay, - deluge it with riches, and yet do no essential good.--We see that Mr. Owen, to whom Ireland stands indebted for a strong manifestation of benevolent wishes, and a series of generous and indefatigable tittemps to serve her unfortunate people, invites a public meeting at the City of London Tavern.on the 29th inst., where we trust he will not be disap pointed of a fUll attendance of the patriotic and humane. [MORNING HERALD.] It must be confessed that the Revolutionists of modern times will cut a pigmy figure, in his. tory, by the side of those who have gone before them. in former revolutionary contests foC dependence or liberty—whether they succeeded or failed--from the war in the Netherland against Philip the Second, down to the carnage of Wat'saw, and the partition of Poland, the instances of treachery were so insignifi cant or so rare as scarcely to be remembered, whilst the records of devoted faith and great capacity abound.. The:truth is, that at the pre sent day there is more of ambitious calculation than of public principle. Or patriotism. Public, virtue is but too generally regarded as synony , 'mous with simplicity and. narrowness of and the man who successfully employs artifice and duplicity for his personal ambition, looks to he called, not knave or traitor,' but' a man of skill and talent-=-a clever fellow. Not. only that severe And dangerous enthusiastri of re:. ligious' and civil duty, which made, the 14.1nglish Commonwealth's-men act and suffer " for con science sake," but the abstract loVe of ,liberty also, ,and the .pure sentiment of pa triotism have passed away like prejudices. The . . . _ French Revolution, with all its frantic enth u . siasm, produced a host of ambitious calculators from Dumourier to Buonaparte. The successive scene-shiftings, from the first to the second fall of Buonaparte, exhibited a host of individuals changing their cockades and their oaths with shameless versatility.-. . The attempted Revolu tions in Italy, particularly that of Naples, were marked by the most contemptible treachery in the Chiefs. In Portugal there appears to have been neither principle, nor steadiness, nor common comprehension of the public cause, among the Chiefs, or the masses of the army' and the people. —Lastly, what a list of prominent . seCeders or renegades in Spain !—The Ameri cans, during the war with the mother country, were reduced to an apparent state of greater desperation than the Constitutional Spaniards Have n y e t .experienced. But there is in the American war only one instance of trea cheryeee worth notice—that of General Arnold.—ln Spain, four leading Generals, of whom two stood in the first rank, have already übandoaed or betrayed their cause, without even trying the fortune of arms.—lt is not meant to impeach the great mass of the Constitutional population and Constitutional armies of Spain. The de fection of these Chiefs affords proof even that the general spirit is purer. It is known that A bisbal could not move a man of his army to follow his treachery and his fortunes.— ' Morillo, according to the French Papers, had joined the French with 3,000 men. It is to be Suspected that the number is exaggerated ; and even that the remnant of his corps which adhered to him was- not to be employed against the Con stitutionalists at all.—General Saarsfield,, who, it was said, had joined IVloncey with his army, turns out to have placed his single and precious Person, under the protection of the French Mar shal, and Villa-Campa appears to hate made no attempt to seduce his troops, though it is most probable ha had an understanding with the French. The state of the Spanish cause is very unfavourable. It is not, - however, per. ha ps, absolutely irretrievable. The defection I of these Chiefs may have more weight in appear ance than in reality. The two first, Abisbal and Morillo, had military reputations, but they were mere speculat ors — an d Saarsfield and Villa-Campa were names of no distinction. As long as the troops remain steady to the Constitution en mass e, Chiefs ca n b e eas ily supplied. It is to be re marked, i n th e M ans f e stoes of IVlorillo and Villa- C, nil can hardly 4111 1 m, that they say opinion has changed in Spain. be tiny thing else than a pretext for their own desertion. It is very likely that the ac tual hardships of an invasion have greatly tended to damp the Constitutional zeal of the people. But it is difficult to discover what act of the Cortes, since their departure from Madrid, could alienate any real and resolute friends of the Constitu ' tion. Between, the translation of the Government to Cadiz and the, probability of falling into the 1 hands of the French there was no. alternative. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. STAFFORD, MONDAY, JULY 21. CRIMINAL COURT.—Before Mr. Baron HULLOCK. Joseph Garrett, a fanner and' butcher at lirestbromwich, in respectable circumstances of life, was indicted for manslaugh ter, in killing Isaac Whitehouse, by forcing kith into the canal. _ _ It appeared from the evidence-of the two principal witnesses for the prosecution, named Lawrence and Horton, that on the 13th of March last, the deceased,' who was an old man of 70, climbed over a rail into a field of the prisoner, to cut off an angle, and so to shorten his journey. The prisoner saw him, pursued him, and overtook him as he had just reached the rail at the opposite side of the inclosure. There he shook him vio lently, and in the struggle forced him over the rail upon a towing path of six or eight feet wide, which lay between the fence and the canal. He then shook him again on the towing path, and at length forced him into the - water. While he was there, Garrett called to Horton, to come and 4l k e the old man out, but Horton refused, saying, " He had business of his own to attend, and as Garrett had put him in,' he must bring him out himself." Lawrence came in a boat to his assistance, ano in three or four minutes he was taken on the shore, but he w then dead. When found, he still grasped a bundle of provi sions which he held in his hand. The • • prisoner,- b • eing called on for his defence, stated that he should have gone into the Water to the assistance of the de ceased, had he not been unable to swim.' Mr. WINTER, _the prisoner's Counsel, called a girl of 13 years of age; named Prudence Cartwright, who was present at the time; and who swore that Garrett never crossed the rail till Whitehouse was in the water, and that the deceased fell in side ways, after staggering from the grasp of the prisoner, so that his death was really accidental. On her cross-examination by Mr. RSCILARDS, the witness denied that she had ever said to Lawrence, or to persons named Baker, Sedggeley, and Squires, " Garret has pushed old Toby into the water ;" or " The old man got over the rail; Garrett caught him and shook him ; he got over the rail after him, and shook him again, and pushed 'inn into .the water. The old man called out, Have mercy, Mr. Garrett, and take me out;' and Garrett said, Now you will remember tres passing."' • To confirm the testimony of thit witness Charles Bebb was called, who agreed with her in asserting that Garrett did not push the deceased into the water, but differed inasmuch as he stated that Garrett did pass the rail, and that there was a struggle 'on the footpath. . To. discredit Prudence Cartwright, Lawrence ' Sedgeley, Baker, and Squires 'were called, who swore that she used the expressions which she had denied on her cross-examination. Two respectable neighbours of the prisoner were called, who gave him an excellent character. Mr. Baron II trLLOcK summed 'up the evidence, and left the 'Jury to decide, on the conflicting testimony, whether the death of Whitehouse arose from' accident or from the act of the prisoner. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned-a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron'llum.ocx addressed the prisoner, in terms of severe admonition, declaring. that the verdict met with his entire coneurrence, and that the offence differed very slightly froth that of murder..' He sentenced him. to be imprisoned in the cotinty jail for nine calendar months, in addition to three months during which he has been in custody. The capital convicts, William Bibb, for highway robbery, and Thomas Poyser apd William Toyser, for horse-stealing, were placed at the bar, and sentence of death recorded against them. As the sentence was not formally passed, it will not, of course, be carried into execution. In the Nisi Prius Court, Mr. Justice PARR was occupied the whole day in trying two special jury causes, one a question of bankruptcy, and the other of boundary, , neither of which bad any public interest. NOTTINGHAM, JULY 19. (Before Mr. Boron GATIROM; and a Special Jury.) HUGHES V. EAMES AND °TIMM b th o e t A w i d r e e e f n e it n i E dEt d s E o ß n . to o : n b e d e n tle w i p h t r r e o y P p:ri in e ad to .l i ts .n , g o r s if sh a T ir c e er h ; e tai a d il e n d cl ;o l l r a h a c a t h i t :ni n b n s y ta n running negligence of their servants, the plaintiff .had received several severe injuries. Mr. CLAT/KE said, the plaintiff, Miss Eliza Hughes, was the daughter of a respectable person of London. The defendants were the proprietors of the Ilighflyer coach, running between London and York, by'which coach the plaintiffivas a passenger on the 30th July, 1822, and she brought this action to re cover. a compensation for the injury she had received by the overturning' of that coach through the negligence of the defend ants' servants. On the day the accident occurred, the young lady was coming down.froin London to take a situation in Miss Taylor's seminary for young ladies at Baal - Ty, which in all pro bability would have been a lasting engagement, had it not been for tins misfortune. Miss Hughes was an outside passenger, there being no room in the inside ; but her f r i en d s h a d provided For her safety, as far as they were able, by placing her under the protection of a clergyman, who was also travelling by the same conveyance. On their arrival at Newark between one and two o'clock in the morning, the coach stopped to change horsci, and the hostler, who attended to that duty, was in all probability drunk, as by his violent vociferations and ac tions the unfortunate circumstance took place which was thecause of this action. Yirhile 4 he was bringing out the fresh horses, the coachman and guard left the coach to go into the house, probably totieliver their parcels; and when the horses were put to, Nailer ' instead of continuing to stand at their heads, placed himself by one of the wheelers, and began play ing tricks. The guard at this moment was assisting a' gentle man into the coach, and before he had seated himself, the horses set off at full speed, and on their reaching a sharp corner in Newark, the coach was overturned with a dreadful crash ; all the outside passengers were thrown off, and one gentleman was so much injured, that he died the next day: The .plaintiff was pitched with dreadfulvelocity against a post, and her jaw-bone broken, and several teeth knocked out. She was hurled beneath the luggage, which had fallen on her, and when lifted up, she was speechless, and could only make herself known by point. ing to her pocket, where a letter was found by which her con nexions were discovered. In this pitiable state she was carried back to the inn, where she was suffered to lie disregarded by the proprietors, and at length the plaintiff was compelled to take these proceedings against them, by which alone they could be made to compensate her in some measure for the in. jury she had sustained as well in her person as in her future prospects in life. Miss Hughes was a young lady who had been educated at the greatest expense in all the accomplish. menta which wore necessary to qualify her to act as a goVernm in a school. She was also a young lady who, beyond the ad vantages derived from a costly education, was heautiful.and preposiessing in her person, and one who might with much pro. pnety have looked forward to an honourable alliance with some gentleman of rank and property. Her fair prospects were, by this dreadful misfortune, no longer to be cherished; her teeth had been knocked out, and she had not yet recovered the use of her limbs ; her voice also was indistinct, and probably never would'be again so perfect as it formerly, was. Thus the purpose for Well she had been educated she Auld never follow. Prior fo the accident she was perfectly cabable of teaching French and dancing, but her voice was now so im perfect that she could not pronounce the French language with any propriety, and she had suffered so much injury in one of her ancleS, as to be unable to be an instuctress in the art of dancing. From the natural formation of her fingers, she was incapable of applying herself to music, so that in every respect she was unfitted to pursue the course of life she had intended to follow : and here let it be observed, that besides having lost the benefit of her education, she had 'sufferedimmensely from the pain she had endured by being thrown from a coach-top against h post, and bruised with falling luggage, to such an ex, tent as to remain speechless and insensible for a considerable time afterwards. If the Jury were satisfied by the evidence that the accident was occasioned by the gross neglect of the proprietors, they were liable to make the aggrieved party a full and ample compensation for all the loss that had ansen in con sequence of that negligence. It was admitted that the defendants were the proprietors of the Ifig/m/lyer coach, and that the plaintiff was a passenger by it on the day of the accident. The. Rev. Mr. Blackbume and the Rev. Mr. Tyson proved the statement of the Counsel for the plaintiff,. and two surgeons deposed to the tireedful injury she had sustained. Miss Ann Maria Kane stated, that she kept an establishment for young ladies at Montpelier-row, Blackheath ; Miss Iluglies was under her tuition for five years, , for the purpose of being completed as a governess for a school, and during that time had the assistance of the ablest masters in her studies. She left the school perfectly accomplished for the purpose, except ing in music, which, from a natural defect in her hand, she was unable to acquire a knowledge of. She saw the plaintiff on the day before she left town, and was shocked at her emaciated appearance, and her pronunciation was such as to make her unfit to teach either the French or English grammar. She was also very lame : her age is 23, - By the Cot:we—She should think the plainti ff . would never be able to take the situation she was intended for, with the s a me advantages She formerly had. Mr. CLAILKE.—Pray, Ma'am, what was her personal ap pearance ?—lt was very good ; shehad a tine countenance, and her figure was very prepossessing. Mr. Bat.ouY objected to the beauty of the lady being thrown into the scale by way of enhancing the damages. Mr. Baron ()aim ow said it had been 'made part of the ease It was those advantages which was said to be broken in upon by this misfortune. I think the question was a proper one, and you have a right to prove, if you can, that she squints, or that she was not beautiful. Mr. BALGUY.—I do it with extreme reluctance, but I am now compelled to put a question, which otherwise I should cau tiously have refrained from doing, with the view of showing that this young lady was in some measure deformed. Miss Kane was then asked if Miss Hughes was not deformed in one hand, and from what cause that deformity arose ? She has an infirmity in one hand, with which she was born ; but, notwithstanding that circumstance, she was well qualified for her proposed undertaking, although she could not perfonn on any musical instrument. The other hand was afflicted in a smaller degree. Before Mr. Balguy's question was answered, Mr. Baron GARROW said, he had not the slightest objection to it, but it had before been admitted by the Counsel for the plaintiff, and proved in evidence. Mr. BALGUY then proposed a question which The JUDGE directed not to be answered. The Court could have no obj ection to anTexamination on external appear ances; but it wou ld not admit a-rigid investigation of the delicate re cesses of female health. Mr. Hughes, the father of the plaintiff, spoke of the existing ill health of his daughter. Sir Astley Cooper, and his relative Mr. Rowe, bad both been consulted respecting her ancle, which still occasioned her to walk very lame. Ber pronunciation Was so much impaired, that she could not distinctly mention any word in which were the letters th. Cross-examined—Ele is .a coach-iron-furnisher. He had never heard that the coach proprietors had made direct offers of a compensation. Letters had passed between them on that subject, but no offer was ever made. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant "%TAU (MAN addressed the Jury on the part of the defendants. The Jury must be satisfied that there was a culpable negligence on the part of the proprietors, before they gave the plaintiff a verdict ; and if they determined that ordk nary care had not been used in driving, the fixing negligence on the servants was making the proprietors answerable for their misconduct. He would not ask them to weigh the matter in golden scales, nor say that greater care and attention might not have been used ; he did not put that as a matter of doubt, because the defendants had offered to make a compensation aetording to the circumstances of the case; but he would ask. them if the pockets of the proprietors were to be opened to the public, that men might dip in ; and whether, if an attempt were made to make a traffic of them, they (the Jury) would not resist such injustice? It had been complained of, that the man who bad the care of the horses left the leaders to go to the wheelers, and he begged to say he thought that was his proper situation • for by checking the wheelers he could controul the leaders. 'Defenaants were conscious of sufficient negligence to lay a foundation for the action, and, as honourable men, they wished not to shrink froln m king such a fair compensation as the Jury should think proper to give. Mr. Baron GARROW, in addressing the Jury, said, " You ought not to give damages on the supposition that the defend ant% have conducted themselves with inhumanity, nor ought you to make traffic of these actions by giving wild and extra. , vagant damages; but *bile I tell you what you ought not to do, I should also tell you that you ought to give a fair aud liberal compensation for the • injuries the plaintiff has sustained by being withdrawn from that situation and those advantages in life, which her friends, by giving her a liberal education, had prepared her to look forward to. This young lady, it ap peared, had been spending five long years of her life to quality herself for taking . a leading part in a snilinary , and possibly might have conic into the venerable situation o being the prin cipal of such an establishment. It had pleased nature to afflict her with a deformity in her hands, by which she was prevented from acquiring a proficiency in music, and she would conse quently feel the misfortunes which had fallen upon her with greater force, as she could not compensate for the loss of lier other qualifications by giving her abilities to the study of music: Placed as she is in tins situation, I am of opinion you are bound to give her ample damages. I am also bound to tell you , for the, benefit of the .public„ that my opinion, as to th e situation opt the man who has the care of the horses, is directly contrary to that which has been stated ; and I should be sorry if it went out to the public, that if the coachtnim and guard of a coach chose to retire from their duty, arid placed a man to take care of the horses who is drunk and vociferous, as he appeared to be in this case, that that was not a negligence thr which the pro prietors were liable. They are bound to use all due diligence , and to have competent men who will take care that no accident happens through negligence, by which the prospects in life 0 1 the passemgers can be affected. The Jury, after being- absent from the box several hours, gave a verdict. for the plaintiff—Daniages 5751. Multi)Ettd—Wenesday last, Mr. Wm. Wood, of Eyam, Derbyshire, was discovered miirdered by the road side, between Disley and Whaley-bridge. Tits attrbeious mur der, there is reason to suppose, was comm tted by tihree men in sailors' clothes, who followed him through Disley, both parties having p r eviously met by accident at a p ublic -house in Hon lane. Mr. Wood (being on foot) left the house, and . wag: foi lowed in about ten minute's by the three men who came up . with him within a short. distance of Whaley, where he was Ibund, his pockets turned inside out, and his head beaten in the roost dreadful manner poisible.
