PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. Aq :"hose are really alanning times, and as many Seditious Presses arc at work to pollute the minds of the lower orders, it is very gratifying to find that 'there are two Loyal Journals in a place where Incendiaries have been at work, and where they have long been incited by a Jacobinical Compe -1 itnr. The Leeds Intelligencer and The Leeds In dependent are chiefly rivals in their zeal to diTuse right principles, and to exhort the people to din- Bence and tranc t nillity.Thetollo«•ing article we take from the latter of these Loyal Papers, and hope, under onr established depArtment of PRovisclat. ioIENALS, to be able to select similar proofs of good sense and patriotism from many other parts , ol i tite Empire :-- fFrom " The lecol., ludcpcn.l•ent,'' July 15.) I' That a crisis (and that a very dangerous one) is rapidly approaching, cannot now f(mr a moment be doubte►l. It is therefore high time for all who with to preserve the Country from blood shed—lrvin ;%narchy or despotism—to form a NA=7 5-totc,tt, tiNtoN, fort he preservation of the Con. stituti,m, from the designs of that projected " Nay ional Union" svnose object is to be its over, throw. " It is our sincere opinion, that the country is in a state of imminent peril. From the Resolntions adopted at Manchester, it will be seen that pikes and other WeapOnsr'hive been prepared; and that divisions of men are in %raining. The Chairman of the Meeting at lim nsley, on Mon. tl..y last, tells us, a little more plainly than most 0: his cotidjUtors, that it will be seen which is the stronger party " in a very few weeks." Manchester, always forward in declaring its sound adherence to the Constitution, has again set an example of loyalty, which, we have no %Inubt, will he speedily adopted by most of the large towns in the kingdom.. The subjoined Re solutions and Declaration are signed by the Ma gistrates, Boroughreeves, Constables, Church wardens, and upwards of twelve hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of Manchester and Salford*: In addition to that of this public do= cement; we haVe private information that the Ma.' gistrates were taking active measures for the swearing in of a Large body of special constables, and adoptinz other precautions for securing the public tranquillity and safety. - " very well, so far as it goes, and is worthy of general imitation. But it will not clip to rely o►n mere Declarations, or even on , Special Constables, when the hour of real danger shall arrive. Even the Printer of The Mercury, in this town, plainly avows his belief, that, if the pre sent proceedings , of the Reformers be persisted in, they " will inevitably lead to one of twO et ils—a Military despotism,L or a revolution." "%When any one ventured to Vold this language, during the former agitation which the schemes of the - Reformers excited, be was designated by Mr. Baines as an alarmist, and as one who endeavour ed to intimidate the people into the surrender of their liberties. We are glad that -he himself, however, at length sees the extremely dangerous tendency of the inflatiimatory language which has been addressed to the multitude; and the frank and explicit manner in which he continues to avow his sentiments, we hope will have an effect as beneficial upon his friends, as it is truly ho pourable to himself. The danger being detected and acknowledg ed, what must be done to avert the evils with which we are threatened ? The existing military force is amply sufficient for the defence of the Government, and for the ultimate security - of the Constitution ; but it is impossible that it can be so situated and employed, as in all cases to prevent local tumult, and occasional blood shed. Any body of men who should dare to 'aP.; pear in arms as an organized insurrectionary army, there, can be no doubt would be speedily dispersed or exterminated ; but it is not so easy toliave the . peaceable inhabitants of any 'particular to'Wti' or distriCt'froin the sudden barbarities' of - IntitulluOtis: bands, who might appearlitit perpetraiehthqir. mischief, and might separate before the military, Tower could be brought against them:' " 'The Nona, therefore, must rely 'nprin TI-lEMSELVES for 'the" protection of dial,' 'lr+. and *pi:Operty. This they' Cadd 'o - in only .0.40 :• ''witYs, by forthing numerous bodies-of Special Con - stables; under the'direCtiOn•of the'L'ocal -Magi - ' traCy',' or by becoming VOLUNTEERS; 11p derthe Government. If any:political' tumults be attempted, we may rest assured -that the actors in them will be too- numerous to . be resisted by ariy number of constables who' can be formed to oppoie the i i; and on an armed Mb - niter force only, therefore, that the country can depe4d with the - certainty of safety. We are aware, that • much difficulty• has been found in the- forniation of corps of ioltinteera, frbiri that class of persons who alone / can be safely entrusted with -aims at the present juncture. This, we believe, has prin cipally arisen froth a feeling of repugnance, which the gentlemen of any particular plaCe perhaps ' naturally entertain, at serving under officers who are their neighbourr,•• and in ordinary life their • companions. 'Phis sqtieamishness, however; ought :not longer to be indulged. The timeseems to ' have 'arrived,. when men who have any - thing to defend, !mist • hegin Berionsty , to think of - taking effectual measures fur 'their own preservation. , -- And who is there to defend theni -but-them. selves? Everylhing is at stake. Their propertyr-- thiir fire-sides —their' families their" otkn . liberty anti lives-the altar their relighin, and the graVes of their forefathers—are "equally in danger of being - SubjeCted . to 'the unhallowed devastations of aticluded and maddened multitude. They must ARM, therefore,' not -merely for the viudiCation of their privileges as BritOrts . ,- but for th 7 eprotection of every thing dear to them as men, as hiishrids, and fathers', ' and Christians. " . have had conversations with - some re 6pectable parties in Leeds on this • subject ; !and we believe that a very numerous and respectable. - volunteer force might immediately be raised-- These ilesulutione, Ac. itce. hats beeu twice advarcued i»aTUX SUN. panic - OW yof l'z'oot ~.: OT yeOffiatini cavalry, in the whole of this part of the kingdom, is already perhaps sufficiently numerous. How ever, it is of little consequence whether the ditional bodies be composed of infantry or cavalry, The main point to be kept in view is, that the formation of new corps is absolutely necessary, and that they ought to be in a state of equip.; merit before the conclusion of harvest. To re move any unpleasant feeling as to whether parti , eular gentlemen should act as officers or privates, -why not officer the new corps entirely with Halt pay Officers of the Line. This would at once remove every objectionable feeling of delicacy which may exist, and would besides employ a met itoriout class of men who have gallantly serv ed their country abroad, and whose generous spirits are now rusting in idleness—many of them, alas ! in poverty and idleness combined, The most respectable man in the country need not be ashamed to serve as a private, with his friends and companions,. in a patriolic band; officered by the heroes who have crushed our foreign enemies, and who, no doubt, would be equally ready to shed their' blood in defence of our domestic 1 1 peace. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERX, JULY 11. , A SINGULAR CASE. 3EARJINSON U. SISARJINSOIsh Mr. HART stated, that this was an application on the part of the Rev. Mr. Searjinson, the brother (it the late Colonel Seatjinson, praying that his Lorthhip would suspend the allowance of 3001 . . a year for the maintenance of Miss Searjinson, is minor, the supposed legitimate daughter of the late Colonel Searjinson, on account of her Wet. gitimacy, and that he would direct an issue to try that question. lie, the Learned Counsel, had several affidavits in proof of her illegitimacy ; but he would forbear , to state them, as it would be better the question should go to the Jury unpre 7 judiced. The affidavit of the Rev. Applicant Sex forth, that Col. Searjinson, in the year 1806, will confined for debt in the Sheriff's Prison in the city of Dnblin,• and in the March previous his first wife died without issue ; that during his im prisonment he became acquained with the mother of the infant Anne Crowley, otherwise Atkins , ,,. the widow of a journeyman coach-maker, and in a*short time after his being set at liberty, he mar ried her at St. Faults Church, in the city of Dublin, and the minor was the supposed issue of that marriage. ,That the deponent, in February lay, received a letter from a_person of the name of Eleanor Cummings, dated from 18, Townsend street, Dublin, stating, that she had been a ser vant of his brother's, and that she would commu nicate something to him that would put 30 or 40,0001. in his pocket, if he would come over to Dublin. He employed a Mr. Carman, of French street, Dublin, to see her, and on that Gentleman's interview with her, she declared the minor was not the daughter of Colonel Searjinson, or of his wife Anne Crowley, otherwise AtkinS ; that the de ponent in -March last went to Dublin and saw Eleanor Cummings, who declared. to hint that, the minor was the illegitimate daughter of a young woman in a•low station of life ; that the ! deponent bad made inquiries in respect to the truth of her information, and verily believes it .to be trite. He, the Learned Connsel,,thereforeltud/ no doubt but his Lordship would grant, the apyffestien. The LORD CHAtiCeLLOR.-.:" I Hart, as Counsel; you have used a proper discretion iii not going into the evidence. it this young Lady has hitherto been brought up as a child of the family, I cannot, without more information, suspend her allowance or displace her out of the family.." Mr. WINGFIELD said, he was certain that when his Lordship came to examine into the evidence, he would find that the weight of it was in favOur of the minor's legitimacy. The LORD CHANCELLOR-- , " There had better not he any thing more said on the subject no*.. Let the motion stand over, and let me be furnish ed with the affidavits on both sides.'' 'PIAZZA COFFEE-HOUSE. -. SIMSON ANDOmens V. HODGSoN AND OTHERS.; Mr. HartTsaid,.this was a' motion for the COurt :to refer it to the Master to appoint a receiver o f the - profits arising from the, business carried on I n . the Piazza Coffee-house, Covent-garden. 'Te, plaintiffs are the children (A Amos Gam, and tie brothers of William. Gam, who died in 1817.-1—: Amos Gain entered .into a partnership with W. Hodgson, father of the defendant,„bx which 'the; plaintiffs were,to have share and share alike, bni the former havioß died in 1803 without making a his willow took out letters of administration, and carried on the joint concern with the present defendant, his father having died in the interim, and she, 41.1816,, resigned the ,whole to her son,. , William•Garn, who carried it on with Hodgscin lin 'September, 1817, when he died intestate also. The plaintiffs, who are .next of kin, thought.it their d u ty to bring this before the Court, to have an account taken of the profits of the concern,. they being his legal : representatives. Mr.,Honatee opposed, the motion on behalf of the defendants. Ile admitted that the partnership„ had existed between Gam and Ilodgson,,and articles of, partnership had been drawn . up- and agreed to,. by one of which the snrviving,partnter , was to, purchase the whole concern on the death of the other. The defendant. had. repeatedly qt fered to do so, nod had . uniformly shown•the ut 7, most anxi , ty to have the matter settled by arbi 7 tration, there, not being one shilling due which he was not ready to pay.. All that he requir'ed was, .to have his 1401 right granted him, and no: person could deny that he SboOd have it. The LORD CEIANCRLLOR refused the motion, on the ground of gio satisfactory reason being'shosyn to jutisfy him •.in injuring this defendant's prp petty in :Covent-garden, by appointing . a receiver. He strongly.advised theparties to refer the nit. ter in dispute to an arbitrator. PRACTICE*OF -THE COURT. The LORbCHANCELLOR was applied to oy one!o the Counsel to permithim to oppose a motion tvltiOt had unfortunately been he'a'rd during his absence in another Court. His Lordship replied, that he certainly should not; on any pretext whatever, do to he had' been repeatedly obliged to -rise and leave the Court on account, of the absence of towilsel, who irete fount[-ercq rise titan here. In future, he would not permit ibis Court, %villa was the highest in the country, to he treat-. ed in such a manner ; and he now gave notice, that it a motion was to be opposed, and - those who were to oppose it were not 'present, he would grant - the order, with full costs ;. nor would he afterwards'discharge such order, except on a new motion, and on being satisfied that costs were paid. " The Vice-Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls,• and the Court of Exchequer, "• said his Lordship, " will wait for oohody, and why am I to do it ? If Counsel have so much business that • they must attend - every where, then let them di vide that business, for I shall not wait for a single person. ; have known three Counsel engaged to oppose' A. motinn, not one 'of whom have been here. Am' lto be - told they - are speaking at one time before the Vice-Chancellor ? Personally I have no feeling on the subject, - but sitting here as Lord- Chancellor, I am determined I shall not submit any longer to such conduct." COURT OF RING'S lIENCI-t, ;JULY 17% •13ALDOCK V.

The Ctiter JUsTicß charged the Jury, that by law a - carrier is liable for the whole amount of the loss of goods entrusted to his care, unless he gives special notice of restricted liability. Such notice was negatived in the present case by the man who delivered the parcel, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to recorer.---Verdict for the plain,- tiff.—Damages, 241.-Costs, 40s. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS,.JULY 17. CONSPIRACY TO SEDUCE WORKMEN. OUNTER V. ASTOR, Thla *as an action brought by the plaintiff, a respectable pian'o4otte nianntactUrer, against Elizabeth Astor and 'Sons, of Cornhill, who deal extensively in the same trade; for a conspiracy, in taking from the plaintiff fourteen of his woik• men, during the existence of:their regulatfengage ment with him. There were several other counts in the declaration, which charged the defendants with a breach of contract, &c. Several of the workmen were examined in sup port of the plaintiff's case. From their testi mony it appeared,- :that early in January last they were induced by the Messrs'. 'Astor to assemble to gether for the ptirpose of receiving.an offer ro quit their master's employ, and .go over to the• defen dants; they were entertained with plenty of bread, beer, ale, gin, and .rum, •and , regaled themselvCs heartily, so that they did nut return to 'do ratty other business on that day. Many of them re jected the solicitation to quit the plaintiff's, but others yielded, and signets a paper, consenting to go to work with the defendants the moment they h a d finished the piece•work on which they were then.,engaged at the Tlaintiff's. Fourteen agreed to do this, aud each received for so doing one pound. It also appeared in evidence, that a contract. had subsisted for some time bet . ween the plain tiff's house and the defendants, in which the latter had stipulated to take a certain' notnber o f pianos weekly from the plaintiC • at a sti pnlated ptice, and that • the defendants had, on 'more than one occasion, regretted the existence of this agreement, and intimated - a de• sire to keep in their own pockets the money they paid the plaintiff for manufacturing pianos for t h e m. When some of the!, workmen, dutiog their 'negotiation- with- the,defendaUts, alluded to the 'force of. this contract, one of the Messrs. Astor was stated to have,said, that they would soon -render the plaintiff unable to fulfil his .pat t of in the result, was the tact, owing to the removal of so many of his men.. The contraCt was ,said to be worth from 8001. to 1,0001 a-year, and was for seven years, subject to a clause of separation 'at three. years. For the defendants, two witnesses were called; who proved that when complaints were made re specting some of the pianos to the plaintiff, he spoke in an angry tone, and expressed a desire to get rid of thecontracci , which he offered .to burn ; that afterwards some . negotiation was carried on for the purchase of , the plaintiff's stock, which did not terminate loan} , agreement. ' The CHIEF JOSTICH held that the seduction of the men WO clearly made out, and lett the amount, 'of damages to'be ascertained by the Jury. , The 'Jury, offer five minutes' consideration', turned a •verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, t)c , teen Hundred Pounds. , - P,OXIID OF EXCISE, CAUTION TO ARTISTS. Mr. Bull, a painter, was charged with painting transparencies, not being duly licensed for the lle was also charged with baying painted a transparency upon cloth fur which the duty had 'no . ' been paid. .1. R. Robinson, an exciseman, staled, that lie was passing by the corner of Curzon -street, May fair, when he saw a:young man painting a large n.ansparency., I-le.asked him if_ was:lieetlSY4 ? ToAthich•he replied in the negative, and asserted • that- he had never heard before that any such thing was requisite. Perceiving that the cloth iipOn .which it Was painted and no stamp upon it, the witness seized it. • The transparency was condemned, but the. Court remitted the penalties.
