COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEc. 1. our contemporary for furnishing - us with this im portant argument against the grant of Emancipa tion !—lllorning Post. STUBBS V. ciunr. Mr. J. WILLIAMS stated that this was an action for an assault. The plaintiff, who was new an at torney, was, in October last year, residing with his father in the country, and being duly qualified to shoot, he, on the 20th of October, went out accom panied by his servant to kill some birds. Having come upon some furze land, in the occupation of a Mr. Shawcross, he was accosted by the defendant, who was gamekeeper, or under-gamekeeper, of Mr. Read, the lord of the manor of Girshalton. After desiring the plaintiff to " walk off," and using very coarse and improper language, the defendant, who had a stick in his hand, seiled the plaintiff by the collar, and telling him that he (the defendant) was acting under the directions of his master, Mr. Read, compelled the plaintiff, by force, to quit the land of Mr. Shawcross, and go to an adjoining close. For this assault the present action was brought against the gamekeeper, Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, had no hesita tion in acknowledging, on the part of Mr. Read, that the gamekeeper was not authorised by him, either to use improper language or =o act harshly towards the plaintiff, and that if he had conducted himself in the manner stated, he (Mr. Read) was sorry for it. Mr. \VILUAMS accepted this acknowledgement ; defendant agreeing to pay the costs; and a verdict was then entered for the plaintiff with nominal gam4P9. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Stewardess of a benefit society was sum moned before the Lonp MAyolt and Alderman LUCAS, in consequence of having refused to pay to a senior stewardess, who had just abdicated, the sum of Is. a-head for examining personally 12 fe males, who were the candidates for admission into the society. It is the practice, as was stated, in the society in question, for the senior stewardess, upon the appli cation of females to become memlaers, to institute an examination kinto the condition of the body as well as the character of each candidate; and the fee allowed for such examination is said to be Is. a head. This fee, the senior stewardess, by virtue of her otlice, appropriates to her own purposes, The Secretary to the society attended to dispute the claim. The complainant deposed, that she had regularly put the bodies and reputation of 12 candidates to the test, and made the proper return ; and she in formed the Magistrates that the money was not very easily eamcgl, duties of stewardess included still further examination. Alderman LUCAS desired to know the full extent of the services performed for the amount demanded. The complainant rather reluctantly made a dis closure of her additional work—" Why," said she, " yoUr Worshir, you must know that we must be . very cautious as pct what persons we let amongst us, and ttlat their Otatf . ofTl4ltl; is good.

A General Court-martial has been sitting at the I barracks of this c ity s i nce M on d a y l ast , on t h e tr i a l I of the schoolmaster, serjeant, and drum-major of the 32d regiment, for conspiring to prevent the Hon. John Maitland, the Lieutenant-Colonel of the corps, then absent in ill health, from rejoining the regiment, by the fabrication of charges of an infamous nature, transmitted under a fictitious signature to the Right Hon. the Earl of Lauderdale,_ the Gallant Colonel's father. We cannot of course enter into the par ticulars in this stage of the affair, farther than to state that the authorship, hand-writing, and transmission -of the letter to the Noble Earl were clearly brought home to the wretched prisoners ; and that the exist ence of motives sufficiently cogent to influence malig nant minds•were fully established by the evidence for the prosecution. The trial will probably close to-morrow, but the result will not be made public until' his Majesty's pleasure shall be taken aP to the decision a n d fi n di ng o f t h e C ourt, w hi c h is corn. posed of distinguished officers. When Lord Lauderdale received the letter con tain the infamous charges again.t his son, he instantly sent it from Dunbar-house to the Colonel, who was then under the care of two medical gentlemen in Edinburgh; and who, though by them prohibited from leaving his chamber, at once set off for Glas gow, and thence by Portpatrick, Donaghadee, and Dublin, to Kilkenny, where he arrived unexpectedly, ordered the barrack -gates to be closed, and sent two file of men from the gate-guard to arrest the prisoners anti place them in confinement. Before the adjournment of the Court on 'Wednes day, the unfortunate wretches fully acknowledged their guilt, as having conspired to drive Colonel Maitland from the regiment, in which he is much beloved. From the first moment of the trial, no rational person could entertain a doubt of their criminality--Leinster Journal. - - - THE CASTLE OF MOREA. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) The following is an extract of a letter : " His Majesty's ship Blonde, before the Castle of Morea, Oct. 30. " The English union-jack is now flying alongside the lily of France, upon the lately supposed impreg liable walls of the Chateau de Morea ; and I have now to inform you, that we had no sooner recognized the flag of truce, than the Aga or Governor of the fortress came out, attended by two of his chiefs, to demand an audience of General Maison, the Com mander-in-Chief of the French military forces in the More; who was present in the trenches. The Go vernor commenced his harangue by saying, that as the Christian Powers were pleased to offer him terms of capitulation at various periods during the siege, he was now willing to accept of them, and so put an end to future bloodshed. To this the conquering General thus replied in an angry tone, " You have treated my proffered terms with contempt, and therefore I will hear nothing but an unconditional sur render." The Aga turned as pale as death. " Ge neral," said he, " you will, I hope, allow my people to march out with the honours of war; you will not, I trust, strip them of their arms." At tl►is the Ge- neral said that he would not only strip them of their arms, but even to their very shirts; that as they forced him to extremities, they must now abide the consequences. On saying this he ordered the gre nadiers to .the charge, when these brave fellows, with their black nodding plumes, rushed to the gates of the fortress. Resistance was vain, tke Turks gave way, and instantly laid down . their arms. They were then mustered, when it appeared that there were only 050 fighting men iq the garrison. We cannot ascertain the amount of their loss ; but I fancy it must have been immense, for report says that there were upwards of eighteen hundred in the Chateau at the commencement of the siege. There were no sailors either English or French, admitted into the breach, ing batteries, except the Blonds';, and a division from Admiral de. Rigny's flag-ship. Ours was the central battery, and the most adjacent to the Turkish .walls; Lieutenant Luckraft held the chief command, and next to him came Lieutenant Dacre4. They behaved with so much bravery, and so wily main tained the unshaken character of British seamen, as to merit the puhlic npprob,ation of the French Com rnawler,in- Chief. The French, I understand, ate to hold temporary possession of the fortresses, until the Creeks are re-established in their ancient posses sions; but this will take some time, for there are no houses in which they can take shelter, because the • army of Ibrahim Pacha ravaged the whole country. However, the Greeks are now beginning to mine down from the mountains, and ropy of them are • . now at work, throwingp tvmporary huts, or places of residence,. in the neighbourhood of Patras. Not one of the Greeks came down to the trenches to assist our people in carrying on the arduous work of the siege. An officer of the Freoch artillery went out snipe -shooting a few days back, and, hoirihle to relate, 'be was basely butchered by the people - that Ire came to assist. The Greeks murdered him, for the sake of his arms and clothing, and left his naked body on the hills, where it was discovered the day before yesterday by some of our officers, who went out also snipe-shooting. The exertions of Captain Lyons have qehlo4k been equalled, certainly not excelied, by any British officer :• he was constantly in the trenches, and ex posed to a tremendous fire of great guns an d muske try. Lieutenants huckraft and Dacres were twelve days and nights constantly in the trenches, the three last of which they worked their battering gtip with such effect as to expend upwards of 1,000 18-pound shot, and 0,P : 0 lb. weight of powder; never were four guns worked with greater dexterity than those of the Blonde's, which were placed on . George the Fourth's battery. (All the batteries had dio;:rent names, and properly nurphgecli eo a 5 to W1 (11( 4".) Too Much rannot be said 141 favour of the exertions Of Captain Lyons, and the officers and crew of the Blonde. The .zEtna fired well yesterday ; she threw in 128 shells, thirteens and tens, and kept up a well directed fire front a long gun : she expended up viards of (300 lb, of powder ; her shells contributed much to the destruction of thp Chateau de Mores. Adtniral de Itigny ought to, have commanded the naval part of the expedition, but this he waved in favour of Captain Lyons.
