LAMMING. • Thia %%assail application on the part of .the plain tiff on . the record, praying that a sum of money paid into Court, to the-credit of this,eause, might be re turned to the defendant; that the bill might stand. dismissed, and that Mr. Millington, the plaintiff's soli eitor might be ordered to pay the costs, on the :,*rounds that he had commenced and prosecuted the suit lrithout the. authority of the plaintiff. - Affidavits in support of the application were tiled by, the plaintiff and defendant. The latter stated that she met the defendant at -.Spalding, in Lincolnshire,_ and that upon asking him why he. hadi filed a bill in. Chancery. against her, he positively denied any knowledge of such a proceeding. The plaintiff,t in his affidavit, deposed to the same effect, and added, that upon taking the bond, for the recovery of which it appeared that the suit had been•commenced, to Millington, the solicitor, he distinctly told that gentleman- that he would not go to law, or otherwise put himself to any trouble respecting it. The affidavit further stated that the bill had been filed, and the ulterior proceedings adopted, without the knowledge, privity, or consent of the plaintiff. This statement was contradicted by Mr. Millington ; he declared that Beaston had called on him with the bond, and directed him to-recover the amount. In support of Mr: Millington's - ac count, letters written to him by the plain tiff were produced, in which he repeatedly alludes to the suit, and inquires when it was likely to terminate ;—lie was also proved to have asked other persons respecting the proceedings. The plaintiff now accounted for these inquiries, by stating, that he was aware of a bill having been filed, but cot that it was filed in his name. Mr. TRIsLovE, in support of the motion, sub- Mitted that Mr. Milling ton ought to have procured a retainer from the p laintiff before he tiled a bill in his name. The motion was opposed by Mr. RoE. The VICE-CHANcELLOR refused the application. He thought it evident that the plaintiff was aware of the proceedings. . But as Mr. - Millington might have removed ^ll doubt by procuring the retainer, his Honour did not think that the application should-be dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY. TKY ItIN6 V. ATTWOOD. .''This was an indictment against John Attwood for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. GURNEY. stated the plaintiff's ease for the prosecution. Early in the year 1825. a Company was established, called the British Iron Mining Com pany, for the purpose of working mines in England and Wales. In May, 182.5, a negotiation was opened by this Company with Mr. Attwood (the de fendant) for the purchase of certain mines in Cornwall, in which he had an interest, and the sum of 600,0001. was spoken of by defendant as the amount of purchase money which he would require. The proposition ,vas entertained by the Managers of the Company, , and Mr. John Taylor, one of the Directors, was de puted to carry on the megociation, and Mr. Philip Taylor was sent down to Cornwall to inspect the works. Mr. Attwood having givetta most flourish ing account of the property, a favourable report was made to the Company, and on the 10th o f June an agreement was made, under which Mr. Attwood was to receive the sum of VOO,OOO/. subject, however, to his making out a good title-- In furtherance of this agreement the sum of 2.5,000/. in Exchequer Bills was deposited in the banker's hands, but as the title was not satisfactorily esta blished, the treaty was ultimately broken ofi. The negotiation, however, was renewed in October, when . persons were sent down to inspect the mines, who met with great obstructions,- and when they en tered into a calculation of.the expenses of working the mines, Mr. Attwood referred them to two of his clerks, named Edwards and Jones. Those clerks produced certain pap e rs, which they stated contained an account of the receipts and eipences of the mines; and when the Directors 'asked to see the :books, they were told that no books had been kept since the defendant got possession of the mines. The Directors were satisfied with this explanation, and finally completed the pur chase of the Mines for 261,0001. It was afterwards discovered, however, that all the accounts submitted to the Directors, by Attwood, were fabricated.— When this discovery - was - made, the Directors • filed a bill in the Court or Exchequer, charging Mr. Att wegid with having practised a gross fraud on - the Company, calling on him to produce his true ac counts,and praying the Court that the agreement might he set aside. After taking advantage ofall the de lays which the practice of the Court allowed, Mr. Attwood putin his' answer; ow which the present indictment was founded. It was a question with him, whether he should abandon-. the 'contract be had made with the Directors, or swear that h e h a d dealt fairly and honOurablY with the c on 3.. pany, and h e chose the latter. He denied a ll that was imputed to him'. He - denied that his accounts were false: - He denied that he had in structed his clerks to fabricate accounts. He-per sisted that he had no bOoki of the receipts and ex penses of the mines; and. be added, that Mr. P. Taylor was present at an experiment made to ascer tain the cost of producing 500 tons of iron from the mines. 'Now he (Mr. Gurney) proposed to prove by the evidence of those who kept the books, th at bo o ks were regula r l y k ept from accounts seat every fortnight._ lie Would also prove* that the papers shown to the Directors were fabricated, and the jury could judge how gross a fabrication it was, when the aferepee between the stated and the real cost of. Carrying o n the concern was 50,000/. per annum. A s t o the as section that Mr. P. Taylor was present at the experi ment, it was pure invent ion; and it was a most remark able circumstance that Mr. P. Taylor has subsequently received large sums of money, under the name of mans, from .Attwood. This showed the corrupt mo tives.of Attwood, and if it could be proved that he ' W as guilty of one half of what was stated, the Jury c ould have no di ffi culty i n com i ng to t h e co nclusion, ) t hat he was guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury. Wm. Mannin g _ prod uce d a copy o f t h e bill an d a nswer : ill the Court of Exchequer, in ,the case of small and others v. Att w , o4. Min Morris (Clerk to the Chief B a ron), stated,. that the defendant had been sworn to the answer be- tore the Lord Chief Baron at his house in Grosve nor-square. The bill and answer, which filled fourteen skins of parchment, was then read by the oflicer,,and.oc ctipied the Court for several hours. The case is not expected to conclude until a late hour to-night. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. • ' SEAM.; V. EiPINASSE. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, for' the recovery of 281. for, goods sold and delivered to the wife of the defendant, an eminent special pleader. • Mr. Sergeant TADDY opened. for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant ,AVILDE for the defendant. The action was similar to several that have been before brought against the same defendant, and the defence on the present occasion was pretty similar also to the defences set up in the others. The de fendant had taken a house at Twickenham, where he .resided with his wife and three servants, and the goods were supplied 1)y. the plaintiff, who carried, on business in the hosiery and silk line, to the wife of the defendant. The '.delivery of one article was proved at the house, but the remainder had been delivered to Mrs. Espinasse personally. For the defence it was contended that the articles were obtained without,the consent of the husband, and were net necessaries—one item being thirteen pair of silk stockings, at half-a-guinea a pair, and it was proved that her wardrobe was well supplied by her husband, and that she never wore any of the articles finis obtained in the presence of her husband, or of her servants.- _Under these circumstances Mr. ,Espinasse refused to pay the bill, and the present nation was brought. Mr. Justice BURROUGII charged the Jury, that as the articles were not necessaries, and as they were clearly obtained without the consent of the husband, who had alldwed his wife all proper necessaries, he could hardly be held liable ; but there was one i 4tEculty which it might not„ be very easy to get over, which was, that the defendant had paid into Court the sum of 101. which- he seemed to con ;sider as necessaries: The Jury, however, Would ex ercise their judgment upon the whole case as it ap peared in evidence, and give their verdict accordingly. After an - absence of two hours the JUry returned into Court, and the foreman read as follows from a paper After considerable difficulty we feel corn ,pelled to find a. verdict fee: the .plaintiff, with da mageS to the amount of 181. 4s. Gd., besides the 104 paid into Court2' THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY ) IiAY MARKErS.-(Al ST. JA t per Load of 36 Trusses.) MES'S. owland Mead.

COMMISSION COURT, DUBLIN, FEB. 18 Bartholomew Uniacke was arraigned for having feloniously assumed the name of George Hamilton, with intent to obtain prize money from the Board of Chelsea Hospital, and their agent in Dublin, Edward Bourns, Esq. The Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty ; and .the Court, after alluding in a very feel. ing manner to the enormity of his offence, sentenced him to transportation for life. Elizabeth and Marcus Uniacke were then ar raigned for a conspiracy to defraud the Chelsea Board of the sum of 331. Is. 4d. As the evidence, in this case was nearly similar to the foregoing one, it is unnecessary to enter into a recapitulation of it. The prisoners were found Guilty, after a patient in vestigation, . and were each sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and to find security to, keep the peace in two recogniznoPs of 1001.—Freeman' s Journal. MAILS AND COACHES.---The London mail due en Thursday, at 11 a. m., arrived at about two p. m. The principal obstruction was between Annan and Dum fries, and the lee -way occurred in travelling that distance. The returning guard left Dumfries with the bags on horse back at ten o'clock at night. On Friday, the same coach wa s seven hours later, and came into town drawn by six horses. On Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday, she arrived a good deal earlier, and may now be said to be tolerably regular. On Thursday the Galloway mail stuck fast at Enrick, after losing a great deal of time in contending with the snow between Glenluce and Newtonstewart. From Enrick the gua rd rode on horseback, a n d reac h e d town at nin e a. m. The same order of things obtained on Friday. Since that day the coach has been regularly for warded though several hours beyond time. The Edinburgh mail due on Thursday about half-past three, did not arrive till about the same hour next day. In the course of the evening, a guard on horseback brought the mail of Fri. day. Since that time, the coach has been pretty regular, and beyond the Crook the snow, we understand, is quite iflingAt Edinburgh, t h ere was scarce ly any storm a t all. One of the guards told us last night, that there is more danger in traversing the Dumfries townhead, than occurs during the whole journey-- a remark that may be true, but whisk is not over complimentary. At present, there are only two heavy coaches that run from this town —one to Glasgow every lawful day, and another to Edin burgh three times a week. Neither of these have arrived since Wednesday last. An attempt, however, was made to send a coach to Glasgow, but it is doubtful whether it will succeed.—Dumfries Courier. THE NEW VICEROY. We understand that his Excellency is not ex pected to arrive in this country until the 27th or ?Bth of the present month ; and that we may calcu late, with certainty, on his assuming the reins of Government at that period. The preparations for his reception at the Castle arc of a most magnificent itharacter, and give us every reason to hope that the Irish Court will be restored to that splendour, which was once its peculiar attribute. A great portion of his Excellency's` domestics are at present in Dublin ; nd theremainder, making up the number of sixty, ' , winding, of course, persons in every station belong to a noble household, will be over in a 'few days.

Mr. GELDART, the assessor, then rose.—Gentle men, his Worship the Mayor requests that I will state the great satisfaction he feels at the deference which has been shown- to him throughout the con test., For myself, though. the respect which I may claim cannot compete with that due to his high office, I must say that that respect which I have rP.: ceived from you all, candidates, council, agents, and freeholders, has made an indelible impression upon my mind.—(Applause.)—Such a reception affords me a `Thirteen greater than I could h ave h o p e d for.

Their stay, will not, it is said, exceed two months. To-morrow evening Mr. HENRY promises to delight the audience by a choice selection of amusements at the Adelphi, where we trust his endeavours will meet their full reward. A statement appears in the French Papers of an accident which occurred at No. 3, Rue Neuve de Berri, in Paris, on the 11th instant. The account there given, however, being much exaggerated, we give the following from an authentic source :—lt appears that on the evening of the 11th, Mr. GREEN, an Englishgentleman well known in Paris, gave a grand ball at the house in question, the first floor of which be occupied; and the drawing-room not being of sufficient size to accommodate the party (one hundred and twenty in number), about 30 proceeded to the ante-chamber, where the dance was for some time kept up with the sante spirit as in the large room. Suddenly, however, the floor gave way, and the entire party was pre cipitated into the room below. We regret to add, that of these not less than 20 were much hurt ; one lady received a severe injury in her loins ; a gentleman had his thigh broken, and others had contusions more or less violent.— Some of the party thus injured ware taken into the apart ments occupied by Lord WiYa►our►►, and it is needless to add that every attention which Mr. GREEN could procure was paid to them. None of Mr. GREEN'S family was hurt, as they were all in the drawing-room when the accident happened. On investigating the cause of the accident, it was found that the beam by which the floor was supported had given way, being entirely destroyed by the dry-rot, although 16 inches square. Mr. GREEI'7, .Lord WEY srowxx, Lady Kxerzt, and Mr. EDWARD (the son-in-law of Mr. Gam4), who.. occupied the house, which ,is of considerable siie, have left, deeming it urisafe to remain in it. Among the commercial operations now going on in the City, none excite more surprise that' the con tinued depreciation in the article of coffee, which has fallen, within a period of about two years, from 80s. to 34w, the cwt., in samples of average quality—that of St. Domingo, for example—and is actually at a lower price than that paid for it at the places where it is produced, without allowing any thing for the charges of transporting it to this country. Yet it is ascertained that though the importations of coffee to the Continent of Europe have increased, consumption lias increased in a still greater proportion, and that the stocks on hand at the end of 1827 have not increased in an equal degree with the in.; crease of importation compared with the stocks at the end of 1826. The following statement relating to prin cipal continental ports is collected from official documents : COFFEE.

How far the - present low' prices may affect the growth, remains to be proved. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS The Duke of CLARENCE held a levee as Lord High Admiral, yesterday, at the Admiralty.

Our, town was crowded with strangers on Wed nesday, and it was lucky the second and heaviest snow-storm did not come on till Thursday. Had the snow fallen a day earlier, many intending visi. tors must have kept away, while those who did venture to town, would have found considerable dif ficulty in returning home, The drapers, we under stand, did a fair share of business, and, the lads and lasses seemed as Blythe and caiity as ever sve saw them in the best of times. in the end of the week, very little business was done, and many, we presume, postponed making purchases from Ito other cause I Ilan the inclemency of the weather. Hoßss M.titkFr , --The horse market was well ttended by dealers , from Ediiibtirgli ; Glasgow, Ayr, &c., but the show of cattle was on the Whole in itTior. Good horses were particularly scarce, and lrought higher prices than usual. Breeding in this department has been conducted injudiciously of late' years, and though the farmers 11011 t clearly sce their error, a cotrAderable period must yet ,lapse before the supply is adjusted tv the .demand, Our . resident dealers sold every horse in titeii. pos :,rssiodiria,uagnidlt,onNevhoifeitihebmr6 u e g x l h it ibi t t h ed'a cbth e fi o t f tit. This, however, was the top : price of the market. The advance since last year on this particular descrip tion of cattle, is as near as may be &5 per cent. Of roadsters, coachers, bunters, cobs, and ponies, t !te show was poor, though we might quote many individual exceptions. The sales of these were on the whole dull ; for d late years, too, Many coacher -6, &c., have been reared, while ie breeding of t fraught horses has been comparatively:neglected. The best-hunter shown, sold for 7.5/. Roadsters may be quoted from 18/. to 35/.; coachers from 30/. to 45/. ; ;end draught animals from 2.51, to 40/. • HARE-SKINS.—The Dumfries Candlemas Fair, the greatest market of hare-skins in Britain, tuna Unties to be attended by furriers from various part's of the country, such as Sheffield, Preston, Sunder land, Berwick, Wigton, and Greenock. The sup ply, however, this year, was under, an average one, owing to the great openness of the winter, up to a very recent period, Altogether about 1,60 dozen kius were turned out, and as the mawkins, during such weather as, the present, may be caught even by a colly dog, it is confidently expected that an equal, if not a greater .number, will yet reach the Dumfries dealers, and be transported by them to the market of the South. Prices, we understand, rated from twelve to fourteen shillings,and we learn from authority, that thirteen shillings is as correct an average as can possibly be struck. The Dm• fries dealers expected to realize better prices; but the furriers were firm, and " would' not budge from - their first bodes." One reason assigned for this is, that considerable importations have arrived at both Liverpool and London of what the trade call Neidie.; skins, a species of South American monkey, the fir of which is held to be superior to that of the"best British hates. Most commodities, whether natural or artificial, are divided into finer and coarser kinds ; but hare-skins, when sorted, are all classed under one head, and sell at the same rate per bundle. Ihres, however, like other animals, are found of all sorts and sizes, and very frequently 30 inferior skins go for one entire dozen. When first counted, they are divided into wholes, halves; and what are called rubbish, and when we speak of 1,600 dOzen of skins, we must be understood as meaning so many parcels, each worth 13s. Reckoning by indi vidual skins, the total number shown here could not, we are told, be under 38,400—certainly a very goodly number for one small section of the kingdoni of Scotland. The - fur of hares, killed in summer, is both scanty, and of :inferior quality, and 30 full grown skins of this character, are only rated as equal to a single dozen of good ones. From October to January, the fur is thickest, and of consequence best; ind after the present month it begins to get dete riorated both - as to quantity• and quality. The buyers, it appears, set little value on inferior fur, and, as will. be, seen from a notice in another part of our paper, intend in 'future to reckon decimally, by making . ten bad skins equal to one gitod one. Of Rabbit skins there were IWO dozens from Ayrshire, and several small parcels from other quar ters. These were all purchased by one house, and ,though We did not learn the exact price, we believe it was about 4s. 6d. per dozen. The Ayrshire rab ' bits are reckoned superick to those of Wigtownshire, a fact it is very difficult to account for, considering the nature of the 'soil and herbage common to every warren in the country. Foumart skins were unusually scarce this year, a proof that these vermin are falling off in numbers, and a fact every old wife will be glad to hear who values the integrity of her hen-roost.—PuiVries Courier. ABDUCTION.—We understand that on Mon day night a young woman named KENNEDY, was forcibly carried off from her father's house near Kilinaganny, county Kilkenny, by a party of about thirty fellows. A number of women and several men chased the party, and having released her, placed her in a public-how,e, from whence she %vas afterwards removed to the residence of the Rev. Mr. HALLY, P. P. of Commonsfield, for better security. The principal party concerned in the offence has been committed to the jail of Clonmel.--Dublin Morning Register. ANECDOTE OF MADAME PASTA..—We must relate an anecdote of Madame PASTA. Some gentle-' Men who knew her well, informed a friend of ours when be was in Paris, that she would come home from the opera, and sit in a passion of tears at the recollection :of what she had been acting. They told him that nothing could be more unaffected, and that she would say she knew it to be idle, but that she "could nut get the thing out of her head." This is just what imaginative people would expect her to say. She never pretended that she had taken herself for the character she . represented ; but she had sym pathized with it 'so strongly, that it became the next thing to reality; and if our hearts can be touched, and our colour changed, by the mere perusal of a tragedy, bow much more may not a woman's nature be moved that has been almost identified with the calamities iu it ; that by force of imagination has brought the soul of another to inhabit her own warm being ; and has entertained it there as the very guest of humanity, giving it her own heart to agitate, and taking upon herbal the burden of its infirmities !—Leigh Hunt's Companion. DEATH OF DELPINT.—Died, on Wednes day morning list, at an obscure lodging in Lancaster-court, St. Martin's Church-yard, CHARLES ANTHONY DELPINI, the author of several dramatic works, and many years ago the best clown of his day at both the principal theatres ; besides which he was stage-manager of the Opera-house. He was not only a caterer for the public amusements, but likewise for the diversions of his present MAJESTY, when young, having got up, for the Prince of Wriars's enter tainment, that grand festival, or rather masquerade, at the Pantheon, called La Fiera di Venezia,—tlie most `superb thing of the kind ever exhibited in this coun try, the 'tickets of which were sold" as high as three guineas each. This grand and magnificent fete was in tended in celebration of the Prince's attaining the age of majority. DELenit, however, was considerably out of pocket on the winding up of the expellees incurred by this demonstration of loyalty. Such were the volatility and eccentricity of Dnelza's character, that he never once thought of the future, by either providing for his old age, or even subscribing to the Theatrical Fund, or any such provident institution ; so that he was laid ou a bed of sickness for some years, and afflicted with a complica tion of disorders, without any resource but the occa sional' relief derivable from a few friends, amongst whom Must riot be forgotten the great kindness of his old patron, the Prince—his present MAJEsiv—who, about six years ago, was graciously pleased to send biro, through the medium of the writer of this, the sum of 2001. ; recollect was nactly ing, perhaps, the zeal with which DELPINI had served hire both in London and at Brighton. The decline of pow Dzulm'e life was solaced by the unremitting attentions of his widow, who attended his bed of sickness, misery, a r n I suffering, with the most praiseworthy affection and ca wholl disregarding her own privation who is now left in a state of entire and frightfulsingular presenti- destitu tion. DiLettrf had a ver tro g and very strong " Merit that he should not die till the year Eight," as he a nd fatigues, and often declared to the writer of this, which realized, for he died in the year 1828, at the age of 88. He was born in the parish of St. Martin, at Rome, and drew his last breath in the parish of St. Martin nay, in St. Martin's church-yard, Leaden. As his life was con nected with many of the most distinguished characters during the late and present reign, it is intended to publish his memoirs, for the benefit of his destitute widow, SPIRIT OF Tilt PUBLIC JOVRNALS . .

It seems to be a matter of common consent, that nothing so unsightly—nothing so ignoble—no thing so senseless—:vas ever attempted in the - way of architecture, as the new palace ere while build ng for the town residence of the King of England, nd now partly on the point of demolition. About .1 twelvemonth ago, this mass of unmeaning prcrli cality was denounced in a leading article of the Times, and we then did nut flinch from pretty broadly describing the fate which ought one day to nefall it. The " patchwork"—tlus "carbuncles"-- the misshapen " egg-cup" on the top•—have sittc'e been carrying on with unabated obstinacy, find with barbarous profusion, until at last, in the maturn,7 01 their hideousness, it appears they are, One and alt, to be Oiled down, and a substitute administered, mich as may be found among the examples of so briety, common sense, and Civilization. It has been long since affirmed, that Mr. Nash is not to bhimu . for any part of these melancholy, because wasteful,. absurdities. Mr. Nash has, it is known, deipre eated and abjured the abominations of Bucking; ham Palace. It is but an act of common justice to acquit this gentleman—to whom London owea Amething—of a crime in ornamental architecture, which Nvoula have cancelled a thousand times th obligation. It is not Mr. Nash's Palace. Whose. then, is it'? - It is for his Majesty, no doubt; but. who is the attist ? That is a point on which the people have a right to be satisfied; and, whoeier the culprit may be, Parliament—that is, the Houae. of Conn:lions—the guardian of the much-perverted national purse, must have him. Whether it be the hardihood of childish ignorance, or the pertinacity of capricious dotage, whoever has so misemployed, the public money, and so marred a public object, bungler may never again have the mean s of renewin g must be dragged forward, that such a . meddler anti his folly. The nation has no reason to boast of its public architecture. It gained nothing by the Chinese palace at Brighton. it lost rather lesk in money, though not in credit, by that gloomy chaos of s tone and mortar which so long disfigured tire banks of the Thames at Kew, and puzzled every traveller on the western road through Brentford. Least of all does it. benefit a heavily taxed people, to have brat the erection, and next the prostration, of t:.le Buckingham-house anomalies to pay for. If-- what seems incredible—any British subject' has taken the commands of an irresponsible per sonage, not countersigned or sanctioned by an authority known to the ConstitUtion, and has acted *upon such orders, instead .of a regular application to the public Treasury for money, the Duke of Wellington will, we suppose, refuse inex. orably the means of discharging debts incurred by such unwarrantable proceedings, and will leave the issuer and executor of illegal commands to settle the account between them. If committees of taste, and other courtly flatterers, recommend to a tradesman b s e ub 4 s o er o n i t . the execution of commands not sanctio r n l e a d us b w y b o i x of the King's Ministers,- let the courtiers and the t t au h ir a jdl t 's t oo l: L e tt oe uk e of Wei tradesmen once be compelled to take the euize quence, and we can answer for it that matters. vvill always go right hereafter. - The House of Com mons must stop, this into so let f • a a r ble to p i r goes an inch further.
