THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OP JOHN ADOL ESQUIRE, V LORD RANELAGH. Mr. D F. Jotslcs stated, that this was an indict ment, at the instance of John Adolphus, Esq. the barrister, against 'Thomas, Lord Itanclagh, for using defamatory and provc,king language towards the prosecutor, 'cycling to incite him to fight a duel with the defendant. Mr ScAut.P.TT snip!, that the motives of the prosecutoi in ineterring his indictment did not arise from any uersoi, al feeling of resentment to muds the Noble defend,,nt, but front a sense his duty to the profession to which he be lon4,Yed and to the public required it. He said, that the observations which Counsel wete obliged to make on a case, though they might he some times unpleasant to the parties concerned in the canoe, ought not to be considered as personal af fronts ; that they could only have any effect so far as they were borne out by the facts of the case. It was a painful duty for them to perform. Mr. Adoiphns could hate had no feeling of animosity to the Noble Lord, as be was not per sonally known to him. He then stated the cir cumstanc,s Of the case. Mr. Adolphus was then called as a witness.— On his examination by Mr D. F. JoNRs, he swore that on the Ist of December, 1818, he was Counsel for the defendants in a cause in which Lord Ranelagh was prosecutor : that no the fol lowing day he was sitting alone in his chambers, when he heard a knock at his door; he opened it, and Lord Ranelagh entered. He knew his per son, from having seen him in Court the preceding day. Mr Adolphus asked him to mit clown, He did, Lord Itanelagh then said, " Sir, you were at me for about tern hours yesterday. 7 Me. Adolphus re rilWrelilisea,;‘ No mat terwhet her long or not ; I am come here to tell you, that on that occasion you ' showed yourself to be a liar, a coward, and a scoundrel ; your clients's case was all founded on perjury and trick ; and what my servant swore to was ttuth, and you know it." Mr. Adolphus then said, " I cannot go into circumstances of yester day now, but perhaps it may be known to you. that your own solicitor had sent me a brief on your behalf, which I was obliged to return."— Lord Ranelagh replied, be knew that, but did not want to ilk of that matter there.— Mr. Adolphus said, " Your Lordship must recollect you ate now in my chambers, and have no right to control a conversation you choosed to begin: it was lint on account of the re tainer, but the habitual respect I entertain to the higher ranks of society, that I avoid e d; in my opening, giving any offence to your Lord ship ; and I therefore treated the subject with as much lenity as possible." Lord Ranelagh replied, "Just the contrary was the fact, for there was not a person near me who did nor exclaim against you as a blackguard and a ruffian." Mr. Adol• plots to this said, " 1 cannot suppose you can have come here to hold this discourse with me, with any other view than to induce me to challenge you to fight a duel." His Lordship answered, " Certainly not." To this Mr. A: replied, " Whe ther I shall be fool enough to risk toy life on such an occasiou, or whether I shall move the Court for a criminal information, shall depend on the advice of my friends. At present, I think the latter the much more likely course ; but I hope, as we are entirely alone, that your Lordship will not deny the words you have used now." Lord R The l ag ic s answer to this was, " Certainly not, and tha , you may not forgot them, I repeat that you area liar, a coward , and a seminal - el." Mr. Adolphus said, " This conduct at lea3t is entirely new ; I al ways thought that when men of bottom. demanded S - tistaction front each other, it was usual to send a letter, or a friend." Lord Ranelagh said, he bad k nown i t otiq.rwise. Mr. BROUGHAM appeared as Counsel for Lord fianelagh, and cross-examined Mr. Adolphus at considerable length, with a view to elicit such matter as would operate in the Noble Lord's fa vour, should the matter go any farther than the present proceeding. The questions put by the Learned Counsel related to observationa of an i rr itating nature, supposed to have been applied personally to Lord Hanelagh by Mr. Adolphus, in the course of his reply 'o the Jury, at the Mid dlesex Sessions. Mr. Adolphus admitted that he had used much of the language now attributed to him, doubted whether other parts had escaped hint, and denied altogether that some of the ex pressions had fallen from his lips. He avowed, however, that he had made very strong observa tions upon the course of the defence adopted ,at the trial, and also upon the unfounded imputa tions cast upon his client, but that those obser vations were not meant personally to Lord Rene lagh. The offensive language attributed to him was entirely of a personal nature between him self and the Learned Counsel to whom he had - been opposed, but that before they left the Court an explanation haul taken place most satisfactory to that Gentleman's feelings, and whO had ex pressed himself to be quite contented with the explanation given. The case having here closed, Mr. littouGHAM intetposed, and said, that be bad telt anxious to put Mr. Adolphus the ques tions which that Gentleman had answered ; be cause if this had been an action for words, the answers given would go considerably in Mitiga tion of damages, if not altogether as an an swer to the action ; and in the present form of proceeding, they would be available in case , it should b e t h oug h t advisable to carry the matter farther. Undoubtedly, the explanation now given by Mr.. Adolphus, rendered it ap parent that Lord Ranelagh• had laboured under some misunderstandin g upon the subject which gave rise to the transaction in porst;oo, waa entirely occasioned from a conviction in his own mind that the Learned Gentleman bad held out to him the language of defiance, which Mr. Adol phus now denied. After matters had, however, been so explained, he (Mr. B ) thought that his Noble Client most feel great regret in having act ed as he did, upon a misunderstanding, which turned out 'o be founded upon a false impression of what had_occurred. Under these circumstances, if his Learned Friend Mr, Scarlett, insisted up on it, there must he a verdict for the prosecutor. The CHIEF JUSTICE then charged the Jury, that after the very proper enneessi on made by the Learned Counsel for the Noble defendant, they were bound to find a vetclict of guilty. His Lord ship hoped, however, that something might be done which would render it unnecessary that the proceedings should go any farther. BnouGuato expressed a hope that whatever was done, might be done in the face of his Lord ship and the Jury. The Cutev JUSTICE said, it was not for hint to preserihe what ought to be done. Mr. SCARLETT said, he had only to observe that this proceeding had not been - adopted from any vindictive feeling on the part of his client, who, having been insulted .in the manner proved, felt. himself bound, in justice to himself and the pro fession, to brig the case before the public. H e had not now an opportnnity of speaking with his Learned Friend Mr. linouonAM id, be had not the honour of personally knowing his client, hitt from the instruc tions he had received, be most say that the teel ings of his Lordship were far from a vindictive nature.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—Yesterday morning in formation was received at Bow -street, that the house of a Gentleman on Dowgate-hill had been broken into, and robbed of plate and linen to an enormous amount ; also about 10001. in Bank notes and gold. The plate was embossed with a Griffin's head, and the notes being principally small ones, renders their recovery very doubtful. QUEEN-SQUARE.--Yesterday a Noble Lord came to this Office, and hid a private interview with Mr. FIELDING and Mr. MAKKLAND, the Ma gistrates. We understand his application was in consequence of some dispute, which it was fear ed would terminate in a duel, and that a warrant was granted against one of the parties concerned, but as it was kept private, we cannot vouch for the truth of that statement. Last week his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, attended by Lieut.-General Sir Harry Cal vert, K. C. B. Adjutant-General to the Forces ; M4jor-General Sir Willoughby G-rdon, K. C. 8., Quavers Master-Gneral ; MAjor-General Sir H. Torrens, I, C. B.; Maj'tr-General 'Sir Herbert Taylor, K.C.O. ; the Earl Camden, and other distinguished persons, had an inspection, at York House, St. J imes's Niece, of the newly-invented Gun of Mr. E H Cowes, slid' which that Gentleman was afterwards confmanded to fire ball, in their presence, in the garden. His Royal Highness, with his wonted accuracy, examined every part of the new arm, and ex pressed his approbation of it, with his usual con descension, in which he was followed by the whole of the General Officers present. The invention, which was fully described by Mr. Collier, seems to supply a desideratum in file arms. It is .romary musKet, composed of seven barrels, one of the common length, and in the same position ; around it, at the breech, are the six others of about , three inches only. The whole being charged, and the priming for the whole placed in the magazine hammer, which preserves it quite dry, and yields just sufficient, and no more, to each charge; the simple act of cocking places each of the short barrels successively in corn. plete connexion with the lung one, and that of shutting the pan primes it ; so that seven 'discharges may be effec.ed in thirty seconds, and if the long barrel be rifi-d, produces the effect of a rifle-guts, without the labour or deformity of the ball produced by the ordinary mode of loading. Mr. Collier exemplified this speed by his first four or five discharges, put.. ring the bails in a cluster about the mark, when the Duke was pleased to examine, with great acuteness, the process, which appeared to corn. pletely satisfy his Royal Highness's acute judg. went. Mr. Collier minutely explained the whole, with due candour, avowing all the improvements that bad been made in attempts toward the same end, • but, at the same time, defying the world to pro duct its completion before ; or any thing of the same construction with his invention or approach. ing to a similar degree of safety, accuracy, and celerity; every part being sb guarded, as to pre vent the possibility of danger, error, or impedi ment ; with great simplicity, and in the most (furible form. It appeared that the invention is equally appli cable to _great gab, must corm a etence ot the mo t t rktble kind. In the hands of Coruchcelics ait tnuat alto he a terrific weapon. 'this is the same arm which was exhibited a few weeks since at Chatham, when the Duke of Clarence was present, and received the ap probation of the Admiral of the Fleet, Admiral Sir John Gore, Major-General D'Arcey, Colonel Chris►ie, Curnnwitlant, and tither officers or dis- tinction, who till »greed in the superiority of its constincticn for the service of Light Cavalry, Riflemen, itlnrines on sl►it►.f)oard in tops, or in boats, and travellers in general. It certainly must operate powerfully iu corps d'elite of every description ; and be, the , efore, well worthy of the attention ot Government. Nothing can be more gratifying than the an. xiety evinced by his Royal Highness time Corn, mander in Chief, for the ascertainment of any itn- Irrovement of real merit, under his pArtienlar de- p rtment, and though arts of destruction are not the most pleasing to sensibility, yet, while the invention of gunpowder is tulerattd, every im provement in its use must be appreciated as an advancement in science anti as employed for private safety, the present most be both an unob. jectionable a - nd desirable object. BRIGHTON, DEc. 22.—A howse in Bedford square fell with a tremendous crash, on Saturday evening, and was reduced to a heap of ruins. It was a new building, the interior in an unfinished state. The workmen had left it but a few mi nutes before the building fell. The horse ad joining was considerably injured by the shock, and dreadful was the surprise to those Happily no person was hurt. 130XING DISAPPOINTNIRNT,, &c.—The great fight bet ween Oliver and Shelton, who are consi dered the two hest men of the thy, was to have taken place at Copt horne yesterday, more than 30 miles front London ; but it did not. The fight had been formerly stopped at ByAeld, seven miles nearer to L on d on than Copt borne, but the Magis trates would not permit it. Copthorne having been named, Shelton lied gone there ; and Oliver being at liyefield, the loaner was sent for, but his backers, sticking to their articles, re fused that removal which should cause any fatigue to their man. Thus situated, the ama teurs determined upon a fight, and the half starved black, Kendrick, who had formerly fought Oliver at Epsom races last year, was pitted against Sutton, another black, the best man of the day. Sutton hit him to death, to use the technicality, in a few minutes, without givi; ig hi m h a lf a chance. and any other comment is unnecessary, excepting that poor Kendrick was so much pitied that the ing turned round. The Amateurs returned-full of disappointment and blue ruin, with floored prods and sulky driving. Letters from Manchester, dated Tuesday last, state, that large orders had been received there, and had given employment to many bands who have lately had little or nothing to do.
