BATTLE OP VITTORIA. " Though no orders had bees issued, the army were aware of the intention of attack.• The officers having refreshed themselves from the fatigues of their march, stood conversing. groups, sagaciously discussing the projects of the advcrse Generals, and discriminating between the chances of failure and the probabilities of suc cess. I remarked, I thought, that the certainty of approaching battle had brought some change of manner and expression in my brother officers. They bore about them the appearance of excite ment, spoke with an unwanted energy of vocal intonation, and performed the most common and perfunctory acts with a vivacious rapacity, for which their general manner was not remarkable. There -were three of us that night,—friends, messmates, companions, fellow-sufferers in diffi culty and privation, partakers of the same pleasures, sharers of the same 'dangers, united together in love and amity by a thousand co incidencea of taste and disposition ; and though differing in much, yet never separated or estranged by accidental collisions of jagnaent and opinion. There were three of us that night, who, after retiring to our tent, partook together of a soldier's simple fare, and with smiling faces, yet with beating hearts, drained the wine cup to the success of our country's arms on the field of deadly struggle on which the morning sun was about to dawn. To two of these three it was 1!:e last meal of which they were ever destined to partake on earth." . • .. Well, our part of the battle, my dear aunt, the tide war rolled on with increasing volume and imsetncsity. So resolute was the attack - of these great-coated gentry, that a part of the bri gade gave way, and retired for a short distance in confusion. At that moment Sir Rowland Hill came up at full speed. The character of Sir It. Hill is to me one of the deepest of human enig mas. No moment could be more trying than that in which he rode up to the height, already red with the work of slaughter. SymptOms of confusion had already shewn themselves in its de fenders. On maintaining the position we occu pied depended in a great measure the whole fate of the battle. Then—just•then it was, that I had an opportunity of examining his counte nance,—l declare to you, that it was" calm as I had ever seen it in times of tranquillity and in. action. In eye, cheek, or brow, no traces of anxiety or apprehension were discernable. HiS round massive countenance had in nothing changed its usual expression of deliberate and tranquil self possession. Neitherhis motions nor the tone of his voice betrayed the smallest symptoms of un usual excitement ; and there was visible, in his outward man, no demonstration of that time and concentration of internal - energies, on the suc cessful exercise of which so much depended." " The portion of the brigade which had been thrown into temporary disorder soon rallied, however, and once more stood brave and undaunted on the heights, ready to repel the at tack, or to carry forward the war into the ranks of the enemy:' . . • • While this was proceeding on the right, the centre of the enemy's line had been made the object of vehement attack by Sir Thomas Pic ton. Let me again pause a moment . in my narrative to draw another pot trait, differing some what from that I have already given you of Sir ft. Hill. Do you observe in a group, at a' short distance on the left, tall upright figure of a man seated on a a strong bald-faced, wall-eyed, chest nut horse? He s ia dressed in plain blue sur tout, rather ancient and thread-bare, and above a countenance which, besides being naturally hard featured, it is abundantly evident has not, on this morning at least, to say nothing of the preced ing, undergone the operation of shaving ; he wears a cocked hat embrowned by the sun, and without a feather. There is a cloak before him, strapped to the saddle bow ; and slung across his shoulder, he has a prospect glass in a leathern case. There is the true military air for you. See how upright he sits on his saddle. Were the (nuzzle of one of the enemy's cannon within a yard of him, that manyou may swear it, would nor stir an inch.—Now, what do you take him for, ran good aunt ? An adjutant of the old school, perhaps ; one, who in obtaining a commis aiol, becomes likewise invested with the brevet yank of gentleman, and who still retains, amid the novel dignities of his recent promotion, the manners of a sergeant ? No, the guess will not do ; nor if you take unit for a brigade major, or a c ommiessary, or a provost marshal, "will you be much nearer the mark. Look at him again, and you will observe an air of dignity about him, an oc. easional attitude of command, which must knock even the possibility of the truth of your conjec tures at once on the head. But I will puzzle you no longer ; the man you observe is no other than Sir Thomas Picton ; and now you know him, I think you will gaze on him with more i n terest than formerly. - The tall thin man, moun ted on a grey horse, to whom he has just b e en speaking, who a moment ago gallopped off, i s Sir Lowry Cole ; and those tw o officers beside )riat are the assistant adjutant -general of his divi ci: his the sion, and one of h is aides-de.-camp, Imagine, theref ore, that Sir T. Picton and division are alrea d y on the advance, and that you see them cross the Zadorra by two bridges o roads leading to Mendoza; which by seine unpardonaiile oversight on the part of the French general ve nut been des tro y ed. I hey have , . A - 49 sooner done so, followed by the divisions of General Cole and Lord Dalhousie, and a bri gade of German Legion, ~;, than a fierce and rapid att.. - made on the heights occupied by Ore enemy. These are lined by a numerous ar tillery, s.:iich open a tremendous fire on them as . they advasee. Whole ranks of the column are . , mowed ILwn,—tho fire of Tartarus itself could ; , not be more deadly and destructive. Where Crow is Picton l He is the very leading man of the division—in the foremost post of honour • and of danger." . After giving an account seilch the impetuous attack of those under the comotand of Sir R. Hill and Sir T. Picton pro tltrced, she author proceeds to describe the :epee - o ,Sions of the left, under the command of Sir T. cimb „„,. As he has not given- a sketcts of his person, we shall proceed with his remarks on the sanguinary contest in general Nevei 'did I i t , m y ' said Capt. Moggridge, ufitietgo a day of greater exhauition and, latiguk, Since morstened my morning, not a drop o f water had throat, my whole frame see med arid a w l parched up,—my tongue seemed gl ued- to my palate." On then we went ..pell inch ; l ic h er alceigr, nian and horse, great' guns and small, ligtrt bob and grenadier, t hOi ig h mud and over ditsh, with tired limbs andjungry stomachs, to catch the enemy if we could, and give him a ' dose of British bullets, What the cavalry did I know not, but I know that we, poor infantry, did little or nothing, for the Frenchmen were too fleet for us ; and we got no more than an occa sional distant view of. them in the windings of the road. The results, however, were as brilliant As could be wished." . t‘ We continued our pursuit of the enemy for about two leagues beyond Vittoria, where we bivouacked for the night. We no sooner had taken up our posi tion, than tired, jaded, starved, I cast myself on the ground in a temporary, yet universal para lysis of all powers .and energies. Never did bivouac afford fewer appliances for comfort, — yet these are not wanted by the tired soldier.— Think you, my dear aunt, that his sleep resem bles the light and fragile slumbers which nightly smooth your senses into forget fulness, beneath your tester of pink damask, and down quilt ?—slumbers which the tick ing of a clock, or the softest whisper in your apartment, or the pattering rain on the window-panes, would break and dissipate in a moment ? No, no, believe me, it is nothing like this. The sleep of the worn campaigner is very different from that of an amiable and re spectable maiden lady, whose fatigues during the day have proceeded from an airing in a 'carriage, or a walk in the shrubbery, or perhaps an extra rubber at whist or back-gait - nylon in the evening. It is a sleep, deep, dreamless and imperturbable —a still, calm, unbroken sabbath of all his facul ties and senses_ Fire a pistol at his ear, and he hears it not ;—let the glare of a thousand torches ' be concentrated on his eyelids, and they move not ;—let his stony bed be shaken with the con cussion of an earthquake, and, beyond an occa sional snore, he will sinew no signs of animation. But try ,him with the sound of drum or trumpet, and, with curses on the earliness of parade, mut tered in something like a grunt, lie springs at once on his feet, restored. as by magic, to all the functions, pwwers, and attributes, of a i:entient and living man." THE SILK TRADE. ALERTING OF WEAVERS.—Last Monday night, pursuant to public requisition, a very numerous meeting of the Silk-\i eay.Ks of Spitalfields and its vicnity, tuck place in St. John's-street Chapel, Brick-lane, for the purpose of receiving the Report of a Committee, appointed on the 28th of July last, " to endeavour .to obtain some better protection against the importation of foreign wrought silks," and to take into consideration a copy of a Memorial which would be submitted to them previous to its being presented to the Board of Track. About seven o'clock Mr. KNAGGS was called to the Chair. Mr. WALus said that, as one of the Committee, and before the draft of a Memorial intended to lie laid before the Board of Trade, should be submitted to the meeting, he had one or two prefatory obser vations to make. It would be recollected, 'that on the 21st ult. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, the President of the Board of Trade, se:' :ni'' , :nt ; 27 '0 the Com. mittee of Silk Weavers to attend a retire with him on the following Thursday. The Committee accordingly attended the Board of Trade, and stated the situation of the Silk Track particularly of that part of it which they were capable of judging, with out reference to its spreading brandies into the country ; and after giving the fullest explanation in their rower, as to increase of crime and pauperism, which were engendered by the •low rate of wages, caused by the impot talon of foreign wrought silks, they hoped the Board would thoroughly investigate the subject, with a view to recommend its prompt and serious consideration to his Majesty's Government. Mr. Fitzgerald assured the Committee that without any affectation what ever, he felt much pain on hearing the melancholy situation to which the workmen in the silk trade were 'educed. But he also assured the Committee, that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Go vernment to institute any inquiry into the sense. In the mean time it was his opinion, that at all times and under all circumstances, the Government had a right to attend to any statements that mightbe made to them from any body of his Majesty's subjects ; but more particularly from so large a body us the silk trade, the more so when there were such contradictory statements set forth and circulated, if for no other purpose than to ascertain the truth or falsehood of them. If the Committee would, therefore, lay a statement before them, no doubt his Majesty's Go vernment would give it their particular attention, and the deputation would be granted another interview, and apprised of the result of the in vestigation. The Committee then apprized Mr. Fitzgerald, that as they were the mere repre sentatives of a very numerous class of mechanics, they would feel it a duty to call the trade toge ther, and recommend a respectable memorial to be sent to the Board of Trade, on the part of the silk-weavers of Spitalfields and its vicinity. " such," said Mr. Wallis, " was the result of oar interview with the President of the Board of Trade, and for which purpose the present Meeting was called; and a 3 the Committee had hastily sketched the draft of a memorial, he trusted the Chairman would suffer the Secretary to read it." Mr. Grove, the Secretary, then read the Memo rial, which wits completely consonant with Mr. Wallis's view of their situation; upon which, it was moved and seconded, " That the Memorial then read be adopted as the Memorial of the Silk Weavers of Spitalfields, and that it be presented to the Board of Trade by the Committee."—Curried unanimously. The Meeting then separated. A method Ins lately been discovered of filling scats and cushions, and even beds and mattresses, with air. 70 persons travelling it is found a great convenience, as a soft and dry seat is made by only breathing iuto a cover, which can be folded up and cat ried in the pocket. The present Earl of RADNOR, learning that one of his tenants was in difficulties, owing to his farm being over-tented, immediately reduced the rent 10Q/.' a year, and relinquished all claim to the arrears. • The following letter from Dr. DoYLE ap pears in The Dublin Evening Post, dated Carlow, Oct. 29,1828:-- "My Dear Sir—ln kinkil ' , . over the proceedinge at Maidsto ne , as reporte d i n your Paper of yesterday, I find my name mentioned among those of the persons who at, tended the great Kent Meeting near that town.

BLOXAN WWI 4 PrQtatapt....Sli,go Journal. .. NEWS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. (From the Ilumburgh Reporter.) Early in the morning of the 12th of October, a Te Deem was chaated in the camp of Count Nio-- ronzow, and in presence of the Emperor, in eelehrtt., tion of the fall of Varna. The finest weather favoured this solemnity, at which all the foreign diplomatists and officers were present. On the same morning, the Captain Pachn marched out of the citadel, together with the troops in favour of whein a capitulation had been agreed to. Ou the 13th his Majesty the Emperor attended divine service in the Greek metropolitan church of Varna. On the even ing of the 14th, his Majesty had it in contemplation to embark for Odessa, and thence to continue un interruptedly his journey to St. Petersburgh. The corps diplomatique was to embark for Odessa at the came tune. Omer Vrione retreated immediately after the surrender 'of Varna, and had taken up a position on the opposite side of the Kamtshik. He was being closely pursued by Prince Eugene of Wurtemberg. The Grand Vizier hud already ad vanced as far as the Kamt4lik to support Omer Vrione, but in consequence of recent events had also made a retrograde movement. " Prince Dulgoruki, Count Serge Stroganoff, and Colonel Minder, have been promoted to the rank of Generals; and General Adlerberg to that of Ad jutant-General. Count Diebitsch has obtained the ender of St. Andrew ; General Benkendorf that of St. Vladimir of-tlie first class ; General hmini that of St. Alexander-Newsky ; and Pripet) Trubetzkoi the same order set in brilliants. BOP.SES-HALLE, POUR O'CLOCK. Wits.t.r.—.Manv large transactions havetaken place in the course of the week, and prices maintain them selves pretty firmly. Many purchases for foreign account have t'tken a large quantity out of the market, but fresh supplies from the Upper Elbe keep up the supply, so that there is still much upon the place for sale. The arrivals from the Lower Elbe have been for the greater part of ready sale, and our own consumers, despairing of any material decline, have begun to purchase, though as yet but sparingly. Rye declined from the last quotation, but prices are firm. The greater part of the new arrivals have been taken by our own consumers. Barley, with trifling arrivals, continues in demand. Oats have declined in consequence of some large arrivals, and are at present of heavy sale. The greater part of these arrivals are, however, of a light quality, and therefore not calculated for exportation. " Peas, if of prime quality, are of ready sale, but inferior sorts extremely heavy. • " Beans are but little in demand. " Rapeseed, if good, of easy sale. " From the 11th to the 20th October, 27 cargoes of corn passed the Sound ; of these, 10 were bound to British, 4 to French, and 5 to Dutch poits ; 1 to Hamburgh, and the rest chiefly to Norwegian and Swedish ports." _ _ _ The same papers afterwards reached us througi the Post-office.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, • NOVEMBER 6, 18i,3 The Ham burgh Reporter . of Friday last furnishes us with news from the . Russian army four days later than our last accounts. It appears that the Emperor of RUSSIA attended Divine Service in the Greek Metropolitan Church of Varna on the 13th Oct., and wasto proceed next day for Odessa, on hi* return to St. Petersburgh, at tended by all the Foreign Ambassadors. The CAPITAN PACIIA marched out of Varna with the troops, in favour of whom a capitulation had been agreed to. Immediately after the surrender of Varna, OMER VRIONE and the GRAND VIZIER, who were pressing to relieve it, retreat ed, and were pursued by the Russians, but without any particular effect—at least nothing is said about the result of the pursuit. The general understanding was, that the Russian army would go into winter quarters, bet no official mention is made of such a probable circumstance. With the possession of Varna and Silistria, when taken, the Russians will no doubt be able to maintain themselves till the spring, when the war will be renewed—but be fore thew, what may not happen to ,alter the march of events ? We understand that the present Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot is to be kept in the most brilliant manner at the seat of a certain Noble Duke ; and that a large party of fashion able Brunswickers, who, in 'imitation of their Divine Master, are endeavouring to inculcate " Peace and . good-will towards man," have been invited to partake of the festivities. The effigy of Guy Faux is to be represented by a likeness of Mr. O'CONNELL, which is pre paring for the occasion. The Right Rev. Dr. PHILPOTTS will have the honour of placing the match to the pile, which, contrary to the usual custom, will, on this occasion, be composed of the best Newcastle coal. The Noble Host himself is expected to take the part of head poker, in which duty he will be assisted by a Noble Peer from each end of the ki►►gdom, one of whom, assisted by a chorus of chimney sweepers decked in orange ribbons, will si►►g the well known anti-papistical anthem com posed for the sth of November. A stron g party of the men of Kent, headed by their worthy representative, will form a ring round the stake ; and a body of Stentors have bce►► hired to keep up the usual cry of " No Popery." A choice display of fireworks have been bespoke for the occasion ; and we under- .NCE YASTEKDAY. Leghorn 483 Genoa VS 44) Venice Malta — Naplt 8 .

Sydney (New South Wales) Gazettes to the 31st May, have been received by the Lion, Captain KENN. The following is an abstract of their, principal contents :—They notice the death of JOHN OXLEY, Esq. the Surveyor- General of the Colony, and his decease is repre sented as a severe loss to the Government of the Colony, both as a gentleman and public officer; the GOVERNOR had on this melancholy occa sion issued an order on the 27th May, an nouncing his decease, and appointed at the same time his successor Major T. L. _MITCHELL. The funeral was attended by all the principal Officers of the Colony, and altogether they seldom witnessed an assembly on a similar occa sion, more remarkable for rank, respectability, and number. The order is highly complimentary to the memory of Mr. OXLRY. Dr. HALLOREN had been appointed Coroner of Sydney and the county, and had entered on the functions of the office. A Trade List has been published, giving the imports and exports at Sydney, and it was considered would prove highly beneficial to the mercantile community. SYDNEY MARKETS.-MAY 30.

We are sorry to learn from New Brunswick that much sickness pre vails there at present, partly amongst the children. The distemper has been' observed to commence generally with dysentery, and to end fatally in the croup. The Hon. Judge CHAPMAN, of St. John's, N. 8., had arrived at Halifax with his lady. This intelligent gentleman is on his way to England, whence he proceeds to the Netherlands to submit the claims of Great Britain to the disputed territory, near Mada waska. Sir 11. DOUGLAS is to leave the Go vernment of New Brunswick in January or February next, to join Judge CHAPMAN on his mission; they proceed in the Chichester packet. The Acadian of the 10th of October, mentions that the KING of the Netherlands has been ap pointed the Arbitrator of the settlement of time Boundary Line Question, not the EMPEROR of Russia, as was generally supposed. We direct attention to an article from the Dublin Freeman's Journal touching that pre (ions band of intolerance, the Dublin/Corpora don. It is now said that they mean to add to the hot-bed of Bribery and Corruption, uo less than twelve hundred members,/ Mercy on us, the Lords of Ascendancy must be iu a sad way for recruits, if they resort to such a desperate expedient as this. The Free men of Dublin are indeed in danger, if their privileges must be supported by an army of reserve of such a character. Then as to the Freemen elect, where are they to be found in such abundance ? If they had a right of election before, many of them must have been scurvily used by the 'Worshipful Corporation—and if they had no right, why, then the present Members of the Corporation must be so far robbed of their privileges by having them made so dog cheap. Take it either way, the remedy is no less ominous than despe rate. Twelve hundred freemen at one fell swoop ! Alas for the Dublin Corporation and po©r Protestant Ascendancy---your glory is indeed fallen upon evil times !—Another stretch and your days are numbered. --- The Duke and Duchess of CLARr%NCE, and the Duke and Duelams of GLouctisTaa, came front their spec tve resid ences at B us h y an d B ags h o t-parks on Mon day morning,t ° congrat u late the Princess Simms. on the recurrence of h er nata l d ay .

On that day be trans acted business in his closet, and in the evening dined with the usual corage of the Court, but retired to his chamber at a very redly hour. Tho gout in his MaJesTv's wrist and urn) still continues 'to .tease and inconvenience him. On the day the KING last took an airing he caught a little cold, from the effects of which he has neatly recovered; but it has been deemed prudent not to remove from the Cottage to the Castle for the present, although the Royal apartments are quite finished. The 4th of November had %wen fixed upon. It is now said'that the 12th will be the day when his 111.4. nm-will take leave of the Cottage for the winter, should his health and strtngth permit.

It did not appear upon evid ePe r , that any application had been made to Mr. Rir;: f but the messenger immediately applied_ to the Ceur t c - , Common Pleas, for an order to compel the a3sigf e e to enrol the proceedings. That Court dismissed th e application, considering it irregular. Afterwards :h parties applied to the Court upon motion, vit a e was also dismissed, upon the ground that see""AH application could not be made to the Court int o ." a form, but that it must be done upon petit - c o That petition had been presented, and the Lea Counsel trusted the Court would find no diffic,' in aceeeding to its prayer. The epithet of " 111L 0 - t senger" would be most justly applied, if this P ° a man was to be driven froM Court to Court, ass place to place, as he had, been in this case. It • ya as extraordinary an attempt on the part of assignee to shelter himself, as he had ever witnoac. Mr. MONTAGU opposed ,the application. The LORD CUANCRLLOR ordered the proce-e d ill he to be enrolled, observing that, as. he conceived k to assignee was bound to give over the:proceeding ic t o be enrolled at once, he must pay the costa of t o r present petition. Each party must pay the cost ° the other application. MILER V. FAILII.Zit.. Pd th Le bolkt Mr. Ross statek As was a petition of some old though the question was a very short one. „ 0 application was for the superseding of a CounnOio. which was issued against Ferrer at the instance . er ; person of the name of Nudgell. The principalohl il tion was, that the bankrupt, being a partner %Od , person of the name of Holt, who was dcsiroos, dissolving the partnership, had by the 1 ma chil' e of this commission endeavoured to effect it, ' 11 . 9 that the debt of Nudgell arose out of a transictio" which Hoh had a joint interest with him. t l j e When we left, Mr. Ross was going through evidence at some length. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the course 0 - morning, intimated that it was his intention t o %,f point several days after the Term for the pure° hearing bankrupt petitions. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. HOOD WILSON. Mr. KNlcter applied that the exceptions t° t et Master's report in this cause, whiCh had beep be dowu in his 12o:tour's paper for two years, alight p advanced. The exception involved a questa*, o, asury, the debt amounted to 4,000/., and the credi t r : interested in the question was over eighty YO e d of age. Under these circumstances it was I ' ° : y , that his Honour would advance the Wer t .") ► t otherwise the creditor, in due course of nature, depart this life before the decision of the Court 14 had upon his cause. The VICE CHANCELLOR promised to look t he paler of exceptions, and do all in his power to OLP' Bite the hearing of the exception in question. . His HONOUR then proceeded with cause pet iti ri hut in consequence of the absence of Mr. Rog r . several important ones were directed to stand ove TANNER V. ILADNOIi• The petitioner — Cs the incumbent of a living 1 :.7 0 ,.; by the testator, named in the cause , during his time; and the petition prayed a reference to O h Master to take an accouut of the dilapidations \O I L had taken place in the rectory whilst it was in possession of the former incumbent. Mr. BEAMES, in support of the p e tition, stated thiir, his client owed the testator at the time of bid de l; a bond debt to the amount of 6001., and he was sirous of setting off against that debt the d ew. ; which be had against the representatives of h is P r decessor for the dilapidations in question. Mr. RussELL opposed the petition, which he fillir did mitted was perfectly unnecessary, inasmuch as o f petitioner 111119 already at liberty, under a derre e ,,, the Master of the Rolls, to go in before the Mine and prove his claim. A specialty creditor l o f testator having filed a bill for the adruinistrati oa h e his effects, a decree was made referring it ce, t Master to take an account of all debts due if° the estate. t tli° The VICE-CHANCELLOR—D o you think tbs j petitioner is a credito r w i t hi n th e m ea ning of thr:h words ? Is a claim for dilapidatiOns, a debt vi!, ll „ t s , can be proved under such a reference to the 1"." ter ? I think not. Ade Mr. RussELL—lt is an unascettained deman d at the death of the testator, and for which an ac t i ° can be brought against his representatives. „pt'oo The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the could not be an action of debt. Under all the c he ctunstances•he thought that he ought to grout p e r petition, upon the understanding that the petit io" was to pay all the expences of the reference. V. YTNEtt. This was a petition for TO leave to file a bill Of f e e . ' view, on the ground that additional facts had se' ceetly been discovered, which, if they were kOOO,, during the pendency of the former suit would led the Court to a different conclusion. Mr. 'Finney, Mr. Knight, and Mr. Wright I f , ported the petition, and Mr. Bickersteth an d ' Pemberton appeared to oppose. _ r id The Vicn-CHANcELLoa in giving judgment that the question for his consideration was, whet a 1 the petition contained sufficient facts on the fac e be it to warrant him in allowing a bill of review t° filed. His Honour then read over the material P 81:, of the petition, and stated that the testator, Mein r`le r ' N man, after his second paralytic attack, was utte ,ce incapable of making or understanding the 114t ;r of the will which had been produced in the for—tie. cause, but that previously to his becoming of sound intellect, he had made another will, th e istence of which was net known to the petitioner:o, sufficient time to offer it in evidence upon th e V o l e ing of the cruise. His Honour observed thti t tio t only evidence of the existence of the alleged w at will was that Richard Newman, the testator , sworn to have pointe4 out to the witness f e%t: dr sheets of paper, which he said comprised his "to but there was not a particle of evidence the contents of that supposed will. It `f °- t v in his Honour's opinion, be most 1161 4 ,, overthrow the former decree upon such veg ti i e; legations as were contained in the present petl'lg rind he could not but condemn the mode of swellt:-.t adopted by nearly all the witne*ses in support e l namely, they swore that they were " believed," without erer attempting to state 'hy whence their information proceeded, or upon vi ground their belief rested. The petition was dismissed with costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. HAWKINS V. THE ASSIGNEES OF HOWARD AND Gl ° ;l # This was an issue directed by the Lord Chao j i for to be tried in this Court.
