Mr. ROTCH opened the pleadings. The declaration was in trover. Mr. BROUGHAM stated the plaintiff's case. The plain tiff was a very respectable attorney at Liverpool, and the action was brought to recover compensation for the loss of an umbrella which had been detained by the defendants. They would find that about the end of April, or beginning of May last, the plaintiff, who had been all day engaged in professional business, had gone into the house of the de fendants to procure some refreshment. The house was in appearance a respectable tavern, although the jury might have reason to think that it was not of the best character. The plaintiff, however, had been ignorant of its character, and had gone into a room up stairs, and called for a glass of wine, which had been brought to him. A short time after wards two females had entered the same room, and also called for some refreshment. The maid servant of the de fendants brught to these ladies two glasses of liquor, and then applied to the plaintiff for payment. The plaintiff, of course, had objected to paying for any liquor, except the glass brought for himself; and in the end the servant, whose name he believed was Inglis, had carried the three glasses down stairs. The glasses having been removed in the way be had stated, the plabliff followed down stairs, with the intention of leaving the house. Before he got to the door Mrs. Spencer had called some of those men who were always found in such places, to turn the plaintiff out of doors, he was turned out of doors with great violence, and his umbrella wrested from him. It was for the loss of the umbrella that this action was brought. Mr. Witmasts, for the defendants, said, that if the age of astonishment had not entirely gone by, he should have been astonished at the plaintiff bringing such an action as this into court. What could be his motive ? It could not be interest, for even if a verdict were given in his favour, the damages could only be nominal. Was it, then, ambi tion—a thirst after celebrity? Celebrity, indeed, this action would confer, but it would be celebrity of a singular kind. They were told, that fatigued with business here and business there, the plaintiff, although his own house was not far distant, had gone into a tavern for refreshment. There, forsooth, he had not been a very long time, before two ladies—and (shocking to say) two ladies of the town—had presented themselves be fore his astonished eyes. Nothing could equal the plain tiff's surprise at beholding them,—nay, had two Lunarian ladies suddenly dropped down before him, they could not have excited more astonishment.—(A laugh.) Now would not the Jury be more inclined to believe the defendant's case, which would tell them that the plaintiff and the two ladies had entered the house together. It was not sur prising that, fatigued and harassed as the plaintiff had been by the fatigues of one profession, he should feel a desire to solace himself in the association of another. But his per verted ambition had even here displayed itself; for, instead of one lady, which would have been the choice of most people, nothing less than two would satisfy a man thirsting for celebrity.—(Laughter.) He seemed anxious to show the world, that even when oppressed and fatigued with busi ness, still two ladies were not too much for him. There was an old saying, " Non omnia possumus omnes," which had been wittily transcribed, " One man to one woman," (Loud laughter)—but the ambition of the plaintiff could not be satisfied with so limited a proposition. In fact, the plaintiff had entered the house with the two ladies, but at the time he was intoxicated ; had ordered a glass of wine and water for himself, and for his companions what they pleased. The liquor had been partly drank, and then the plaintiff had expressed his intention not to pay for it. The behaviour of the plaintiff to Mrs. Spencer and her servant had been very violent; and, as they had heard, the plain tiff had already had to pay for his violence. Mr. Baron HULLOCE summed up the case to the Jury, who found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2s. 6d. Mr. WILLIAMS applied to the Learned Judge to certify to deprive the plaintiff of costs; but the Learned Judge stated that he would suspend his judgment on that subject until the next cause had been tried. The Tunbridge Wells road has been rather unfortunate this week with regard to accidents. A new coach called the Crusader, has been overturned twice, and a van to carry passengers, which only started on Monday, was, on Thursday thrown over, and ahnost dashed to pieces in descending Madams' Court Hill, near Seven Oaks. ANECDOTE.—His late Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief remarked to Colonel W., at the mess of the 11th Regiment, that the Colonel was uncommonly bald, and although a younger man than his Royal Ilighnes• he stood more in need of a wig. The Colonel, who had been of very long standing in the service, and whose pro motion had been by no means rapid, informed his Royal Highness that his baldness could be very easily accounted for. "In what manner ?" asked his Royal Highness ra ther eagerly. To which, Colonel W. replied— ,, junior Officers stepping orer my head." The Duke was so pleased with the reply, that the gallant Colonel obtained promotion in a few days afterwards. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—We lament to state, that advice , : were yesterday received at the Navy Office, Somerset-house, of the loss of die transport Amelia, and that all on board—eighty souls—had perished. The intelligence came by express from the Agents to the Navy Board ; and the grief occasioned thereby was of the most painful description, as may be supposed from the melan choly fact of several very young and promising men, the sons of gentlemen connected with the Navy Office, being on board when the vessel was lost. It appears that the Amelia left the River a very short time ago, with passen gers and goods, to call at Gibraltar. She was overtaken by a dreadful hurricane when she arrived off Gibraltar, and notwithstanding all the efforts of the Commander, who is stated to have beon a man of great skill, the vessel was driven upon the rocks, and no assistance could be rendered from the shore, owing to the dreadful gale. We have not been able to get an authentic list of the sufferers, and shall therefore forbear naming those we have beard. We bear that apprehensions are entertained—and we sincerely hope they may prove u nfounded—that other vessels, and particu larly transports, have suffered from the severity of the same tempest. - - KIRKCUDBRIGIIT, MARCII 10.—On Satur day the body of a female child was found floating on the surface of a loch within the farm of Borness, in the parish of Borgne. The spectacle was painful in a high degree. A piece of cord adhered tightly to the neck of the corpse, and it was but too obvious that life had been sacrificed in the vain hope of hiding the parents' sin and shame.— Though the body was greatly decayed and disfigured, from the length of time it had lain in the water, it was inspect ed by two medical gentlemen, in the presence of the Steward-depute and Fiscal, almost as soon as the fact was known. Our readers will recollect, that a child which disappeared in a most mysterious manner, was born at Southpark on the 30th Dec. 1827, and that after the usual examinations, the supposed mother and another in dividual were committed to jail, and will of course be in dicted to stand trial in April next. --Dumfries Courier. CIIILD MURDER.—On Monday week, the body of a female infant child was discovered, tied up with some stones in a sack, in the mill-dam of Messrs. Etus's corn mill, in the township of Manningham, near Brad ford ; and on Wednesday, an inquest was taken before Mr. STOCKS, at the house of Mr. JOHN JARnATT, the Globe Inn, Manningham, when it was stated, that a youth, a bout fifteen years of age, of the name of JOHN C oFLEY, had found the child in the dam, tied up in the sack with stones. Mr. Bcaustorr, surgeon, and Dr. MACTURK had ex amined the child, and their opinion was, from the appear ance, that it had been alive, and had come to its death by violence. No clue had been found by which the unna tural mother could ha discovered, and the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown. Soon after the inquest was held, a surgeo n was sent for by a young wernao in the neighbourhood, who had become alarmingly ill : the cause ot her illness was soon discovered, and an inquiry was made what had become of the child, of which she had been recently de livered. To this question she at first returned evasive answers, but at length she confessed it that she was th e mo ther of the child that had been found in the mill d am .— Her extreme debility rendered improbable that she could have carried the sack, weighted as it was with stones, and a suspicion exists that she must have had an accomplice. Proper measures have accordingly been adopted to inves tigate the circumstances of this horrid transaction still more closely.... Leeds btelliyencor. RUSSIA. DEDICATED BY PERMISSION TO THE KING.

Improved Silk flats, equally light, for 12s. and 145.—COVINTON and CO., 132, Cheap side, London, and Dale-street, Liverpool, impressed with gratitude for the liberal patronage afforded them, beg to state they are still manufacturing the same unrivalled Bea ver Hats at 21s. which have given so much satisfaction. The medium of an advertisement is too confined to express their perfections; they are 'Waterproof, short in the nap, of the most beautiful colour, oval shape, light, elastic, and of astonishing durability. Their Improved Silk Hats, jerice 12e., are not made upon common wool bodies, and in some instances brown paper, which deleterious articles have been so long foisted on the Pablic, but are positively made on the same stuff body as a Beaver, consequently they partake of their elasti city and lightness, without the slighest pressure on the head, an improvement which has been long wished for. C. and Co. therefore earnestly entreat Gentlemen, pre vious to paying the present high prices, to call at 132, Cheapside, and look at the Hats now offered for their in spection, as they will hear the minutest examination ; in deed they court it, being quite confident their Hats, and the principle on which they do business, have only to be known to ensure universal approbation. Prime Liveries at 16e. Young Gentlemen's Superfine Hats and Caps in great variety. SPRING. I' VERY Season influences all Constitutions, especially those of Valetudinarians ; Eruptions and Scorbntic discolorations spread themselves in Spring like noxious and epidemic disorders, if shut up by Metallic Lotions, or retained from weakness of the general system ; Consumption, Asthma, Gout, Rheuniatism, Palsy, Apo plexy, or those deplorable, and often incurable, calamities, Cancer, and the Evil, take place according to the nature of the Constitution. In the great and general source of these disorders, a Scorbutic and Scrofulous habit, the VEGETABLE SYRUP of DE VELNOS has been long successful, beyond all just competition and rivalship ; and Mrs. CANHAM is assured that, by those who have honoured her with their patronage and confidence, her motives will not be misconstrued, when she reminds the public of the approach of mild and warm weather, the season for the most effectual use of the Vegetabb Syrup, in all the cases for which it is recommended. The Medicine is prepared and sold by Mrs. Canham, at 52, Berners-street, Oxford-street, at 13s. a bottle; by her appointment it may also be had at Messrs. Butlers, Cheap side, and Princes-street, Edinburgh; Mr. Pegg's, Dame street, Dublin : Mr. Pidding's, Cornbill ; and at most of the respectable Medicine Venders, in Town and Country.

DYON AND HIS SON AGAIN IN CUSTODY, (From the Leeds Intelligelteer of Thursday.) DONCASTER, TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 1828.—1 n consequence of information received in this place, Edmund Beckett Denison, Esq., left here early on Friday morning, for the neighbourhood of Gains borough. On 'his return on Saturday night, two constables were despatched" to the house of Wm. Dyon, to again - take him and his son to Bawtry, where they are in custody at the Crown Inn, eac h attended by a constable in separate rooms. Nothing however is made public respecting this last informa tion. The prisoners will be examined on Wednes day. These proceedings have once more changed the opinion of most persons here, and now strong suspicion falls on the Dyons; as it is not supposed they would be again taken, without sufficient rea son. We cannot imagine•how this can be, as the shoes of the murderers were not imagined to be ca pable of going on to the feet of either of the Dyons. Doncaster, March 12, 1828. Although few particulars have come to our know ledge, respecting the cause of Dyon and his son being again taken into custody, you will shudder with horror at what I have to inform you. William Dyon, after being acquitted in the opinion of his examiners, went last week to Gainsborough, where he got drunk, and said he had humbugged the Ma gistrates, and many similar things which, most likely, with much more information that is not made public yet, was the cause of their being sent for to Bawtry. The deceased, Mr. Dyon, had a farm at Partridge-hill, about a mile from his residence; he had a farmer, who lives in the house at Partridge-, hill, and who was recommend there by William Dyon • he is a native of Lincolnshire. I cannot say whether this man was itspected - oi; not; but lam informed, on Etches, the constable, going to hi; house, he observed great confusion in the man, and immediately put on handcuffs, using such language as was proper to a person who showed =rich symp toms of a guilty knowledge. The man, in conse quence, confessed, that Wm. Dyon and his son had been there the evening of the murder, and had obtained a gun from him, and left it on their return. Bawtry was like a fair yesterday. This day the Magistrates meet to examine the prisoners. There seems to be little doubt but they will pays through here in irons, on their way to York. This is likely to prove the most cruel, as well as unnatural murder, ever com mitted, I may say, in this nation. It was none at a time when it was hoped others would have borne the blame, and seems to have been long intended, from the precautions used. It appears that many observations were made at the funeral. Some who had heard the brother named as likely to be the per son, marked his conduct, and in their own minds acquitted him. Others were of a different opinion; so that it appears his manner did not wear the ap pearance of innocence through the day, but only put it on to those he thought proper. It was also thought strange that the brother did not come to Mr. Dyon's till the -time of the funeral, though he was sent for on Sunday morning ; as he should have been one of the first to assist in discovering the murderer of his brother. COMMITMENT OF DYON AND HIS SON. (From the Doncaster Gazette of Friday.) The examination was resumed yesterday morning, and about five o'clock in the afternoon the whole of the witnesses were examined. William Dyon and his son were, upon strong and connected evidence, committed to York Castle, to take their trials at the Assizes, for the murder of their unfortunate relative. We expect that the prisoners will pass through Don caster in the course of this forenoon. THE WATER COMMISSION. The labours of the Commissioners appointed by his Majesty to inquire into the state of the supply of water to the metropolis are, we understand, draw ing to a close. The Commissioners are Dr. Roget, the Secretary to the Royal Society, an able phy sician ; Mr. Telford, an eminent engineer ; and Mr. Brande, the distinguished professor of chymistry. The Commission was issued in July last. From sundry unexpected causes, and especially from the illness of one of those gentlemen, it did not com mence its sittings till December; but since that, time they have devoted themselves to the inquiry, like men impressed with the conviction that the health of the metropolis was, in a measure, com mitted to their charge, and involved in their decision. The subject is one which grows in importance as it proceeds. .1 he copious extracts which e, -e thought it our duty to make from the Memoir ad dressed by Mr. Wright to the Commissioners, have, by eliciting much useful information, added, we be lieve, in no inconsiderable degree to their labours. It is gratifying to see the promptness with which several of our distinguished physicians have s:-epped forward to throw their shield over a non-professional individual whose attention has accidentally been turned to the necessity as well as the possibility of procuring a more wholesome supply of an element of life to the largest city on the face of the globe. In the last edition of his valuable Dictionary of Chynnstry, Dr. Ure, of Glasgow, has devoted seve ral pages to the subject "It cannot," he says, " but be an interesting object to ascertain the com ponent parts and qualities of the water daily con sumed by the inhabitants of large cities. A very minute portion of unwholesome matter daily taken, may constitute the principal cause of the differences in salubrity which are observable in different places." And Dr. Paris, in the new edition .of his Treatise cm Diet, published yesterday, has this striking passage : " Water, in the neighbourhood of a city, holds dis solved, as well as suspended, a considerable por tion of animal and vegetable matter. This is unquestionably the case in the water supplied from the Thames by the Grand J-..inetion Com pany. The discovery of the polluted source from whence this water flows into our houses has lately filled the inhabitants with just alarm. I have already publicly stated my opinion upon the subject, and I shall here only repeat, that unless the authorities of the land interpose to crush the monopoly,the ravages of some fatal epidemic may be fairly anticipated.— The author of the pamphlet entitled The Dolphin, proving that 7,000 families, in 'Westminster and its suburbs, are supplied with water i n a st a te offensiv e to the sight, disgusting to the imagination, and de structive to health, has displayed his case in forcible language ; but I will do him t he Justice to assert, that there is no exaggeration in the statement." 3 a I: t er i s ie a ar r l e y said nie.f t o o ur b th e c o . f o i t i h s e t a i t i o t ta l y l average paper circ ulation of the Bank of England. holders Th e of Countryti,e millions, 1 On Sunday evenin g la st , at Cleethorps, about three miles fr om Grimsb y , whi le the principal part of the inhabitant s were attendin g divine worship, the throat of a m are,in foal, the property of JOHN 06BORNE, Esq. was cut, w ith such determin e d f eroc i ty , t h a t t h e p oor an i tna l' s head was nearly separated from her body !

PETER, the oldest son, had obtained, by some means, a quantity of g un p owder from a co ll i ery the child in the neighbourhood, kept the re b y the miners fo r th e purpose of blasting the work s.
