Thatthe General and some of his friends c attle to the house where we had put up, corn tneneed the attack by levelling a pistol at me, when had no weipon drawn, and advancing upon me at q ui ck pace, vithout giving me time to draw one. "3. That, seeing this, my brother fired upon Ge neral Jacksot, when he had got within eight or ten feet of me. " 4 . That four other pistols were fired in quick su ccession—ane by General Jackson at me, two by me at the General, and one by Colonel Coffee at 14 e. In the course of this firing General Jackson was brought to the ground, but I received no hurt. "5. The daggers were then drawn. Colonel Coffe e and Mr. Alexander Donaldson made at me, "d gave me five slight wounds. Capt. Hammond and M r . Stokely Hays engaged my brother, who being still weak, from the effect of a severe wound lie had lately received in a duel, was not able to re ist two men. They got him down, and while Capt. /turmoil(' beat him on the head to make him lay still, Mr. Hays attempted to stab him, and wounded } lnn in both arms as he lay on his back, parrying his thrusts with his naked hands. From this situation generous hearted citizen of Nashville, l\ Summer, relieved him. Before he came to the ground, my brother clapped a pistol to the breast of Mr. Hays, to blow him thaough, but it missed fire. "6. My own and my brother's pistols carried two balls each ; for it was our intention, if driven to ar ms, to have no child's play. The pistols fired at Ole were so near, that the blaze of the muzzle of one of th em b urnt t h e sleeve of my coat, and the other lowed at my head, at a little more than an arm's length. "7. Capt. Carrell was to have taken part in the 44 rity,but was absent by permission of Gen. Jack aon, as he has since proved by the General's certifi eate—s certificate which reflects less honour, I know not whether upon the General or Captain. "8. That this attack was made upon me is the house where the Judge of the district, Mr. Searcy, had his lodgings! So little are the laws and its Ministers respected! Nor has the civil authority yet taken cognizance of this horrible outrage. " THOMAS HART BENTON, " Lieut.-Col. 39th Infantry." PRICES OP STOCKS THIS Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Rod. B7Y, 3 per Cent.

The French Papers of Wednesday, and the Qazette de France of Thursday, have been re ceived, but they contain no news of an authentic character from the seat of war in the East of turope. An article from Odessa says that the Russian army is in full march for the capital of the Otto man Empire, all which we knew before, but we c annot help observing that their progress is unex- Pectedly slow. The Turks, according to this article, are to place their main hope upon t he position of Schumla, towards which they, ar c moving all their disposable forces.— "the Russians, on the other hand, are to act I T" a plan entirely different from any hithert o ° userved in w a rs with the PORTE , so that the Turks must alter their plan of defence if they h ope effectually to resist the invaders. But all t his is mere speculation. NICHOLAS will adopt t he, b est p l ans he can, an d the Turks will no g oat exert themselves to the utmost in making L 4 desperate resistance. The command o f th e ek Sea gives the Russians great and unusual ants es, if they know h ow to avail them- Selvesof such a superiority. It is sa id i n a French J ourna l t h a t the SUL TAN now accepts the mediation o f F r ance and dngland. W e ques tion the f ac t, b ut h ave no 'calk that it must come to this at last. Lisbon Gazettes to the 11th inst. inclusive cave been received this morning ; but, as their contents are dictated by the minions of the U surper MIGUEL, we are spared the trouble of a ying them a ny o th er a tt en tion than merely ho nouring th em w ith a p l ace i n o ur columns, for t , curiosity - of our readers. To reason upon s uch articles would be perfectly idle : opoRTO, JULY 5. We stated yesterday that the faithful inhabitants of the 1 13 , r oinees had taken up arms aga i nst t h e re b e l s , ma king t he most active war upon them, led by their respective o eoerals th e mos t exce ll ent G a b r i el Antonio Gaspar Texeira D'Alvero da Costa, and Agostinha Luiz, and by Colonel Raymundo, Governor of Viana. All these illue trioue persons, and others who took part in their heroic deeds, deserve the higlies4 praise, since by remaining firm in these districts they did great service to his Majesty Don Miguel 1., and to the country in general, by encouraging the people by their presence, and commanding some troops of the line and militia, whom they collected, to put down the revolutionists. We also stated that many soldiers of the rebel army have presented themselves in this city and other places to the faithful army of his Majesty, to enjoy the pardon promised them ; some officers have done the same. The number of men of different corps who have presented themselves amounts to SOO. The division of the Royal army, commanded by Vis count de Peequiera, began to enter this city on the 3d, and continued to arrive on the 4th, amidst the same de monstrations of joy with which the vanguard of the divi sion was received. The trows of the division immediately marched towards Minho, with others who have already advanced, in order to clear the country at once, and remove those of the rebels who are dispersed. On the entrance of the division, General Pesquiera ad dressed an Order of the Day to his troops, commending the strict discipline they had observed hitherto, and re marking that their duty was a continuance of subordina tion and discipline, love to their Prince, and valour in the field—and that the punishment of the wicked belonged to the Magistrates, with the application of the laws. Many Royalist families have returned to this city, with various individuals who went in arms, again to enjoy the pease and tranquillity which they could not find under such extraordinary circumstances and illegal proceedings of self-constituted authorities. The Governor of these provinces, Sen. G. A. T. de Castro, and the Bishop of the diocese, have returned ; and we expect the legitimate authorities, who have retired, as we before stated. LISBON, J ULY 8. If in a country enjoying tranquillity, as Portugal now happily does, some foreigners animated by a revolutionary spirit, and leagued with the irreconcileable enemies of the throne and of the nation in which they reside, fearing to be punished according to the laws of the country whose hospitality they have returned with hdstility, seeing the ill success of their insolent machinations, should require the protection of their Government under captious pretences, and concealing the true reason of their fears, for the laws are clear and may visit them with its just punishment; and if the Commander of a ship of their nation should invite such persons to repair on board it, to carry them to their own country, and save them from the just punishment which they merit; who would judge such invitation to be a declaration, or preliminary to a declaration of war by the Sovereign of those individuals against ,the Sovereign of the country in which such revolutionists en deavoured to assist factious and rebellious subjects ? Nobody. Yet there are a few persons who draw this inference from a notice posted up in the square in the English language, to invite those who, under such circumstances, might wish to make use of an English ship at anchor in this port. Who can reckon the number of fools, since Scripture itself says that it is in finite ? LISBON, JULY 9. The notice which we mentioned yesterday, as having been posted up in the name of the Captain of the Pyramus, English frigate, was taken down in the course of the day, the impropriety of the measure having been perceived. The Captain stated, that the Consul-General bad called a meeting of the British merchants, to consider of the best means, for those who desired it, to leave the country with all their property, either in the ships of his Britannic Ma jesty, or some other manner s announcing that he had orders from his Government to assist the British subjects as much as possible to this end. In fact the English merchants having met, their answer to this invitation was such as was to be expected from the honour and probity by which they all are animated, who do not belong to the small number of the agents of radicalism ; they replied that they had no reason whatever to abandon the country where, every apprehension haring vanished that the civil war excited by the rebels would produce a new explosion, tranquillity prevailed, peaceable foreigners were protected with the usual hospitality, and where nei ther the British merchants nor any others had ever been threatened with danger; it is therefore evident with what impudence false accounts of the state of our nation were sent to England by half a dozen detestable men, among whom is an Esculapius, sent hither by the Jacobin or ra dical club at London; men paid to co-operate in disorder, and to write the most absurd stories of the situation of our country, thus misleading many who, too lightly believing such impostures, have fallen into their snares. The private accounts received from Lisbo by the Echo steamer, after giving details of the disposition of the Oporto Constitutional force, represent them as disbanding, and the superior officers endeavouring to effect their escape into Spain. The former are coming over in num bers to take the oath of allegiance to I)on MiGuEr., who has appointed seven persons each from the Three Estates, who are directed to draw up a Manifesto, addressed to the European Powers, in which he undertakes to vouch for his proving to his people his legitimate right to the throne of Portugal. In the mean time, it is mentioned, he intends to acknowledge the do. mestic as well as foreign debt ; and at the period of the promulgation of the above-mentioned do cument, it is understood he means to make known the measures he has taken for the payments of the interest due thereon, preparations for which he is making, and is in treaty with individuals at the present moment ; it is further added, it is not unlikely lie may be successful in this import ant point. Don MIGUEL has issued, as King of PORTUGAL, a document which may be con sidered as a partial amnesty to his 'opponents, and seems to be desirous to conciliate the opi nions of the people. American Papers to the 25th ult. have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but their contents are of no public importance. In a New York Paper of the 24th June there is evidently a mistake of one month in the date of the departure of the Atlas from Rio Ja neiro, which is said to have taken place on the Ist June. Now, as the vessel was 53 days on her passage, it must have been the Ist May. Besides, what further corroborates this is, that the Protest of the Captain befor e the American Consul is dated the 12th April. We are thus particular, because the Atlas reports not only the cessation of hostilities between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, but says that a Brazilian Mi n i ster had actually proceeded to sign the treaty of peace, or some thing to that effect. Our l as t accounts from Rio come down to the 21 st May, at whi c h ti me me the hope o peace was as distant as ever . f' We again recommend to the perusal of the public one of the newest pamphlets of the day, " Legislation Gone Astray." It is on the subject of the withdrawing of the One Pound Notes from circulation, which the author, in a strain of the happiest irony, contends will produce very little good, but will greatly embarrass the Landed and Commercial Interests of the country. The subject is one upon which:there is so much dif ference of opinion, that it is hardly to be expected the present work will convince the public that it has been " led astray ;" but we venture to say, that whatever people's opinions may be on this controversial subject, it is impossible to read the above pamphlet without being highly delighted with the point, and humour, and irony of the author. His seems to be the only pen that has been wielded in defence of a most insulted class of men—the Country Bankers ; and it has been used with very great success. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last night moved the usual Sessional Addresses.— The House of Commons will on Monday adjourn over to Friday, on which day, or Saturday, Parliament will be prorogued. To those of our readers who may have visited the romantic scenery of the Highlands of Scot land, we particularly request their attention to an Advertisement in our front page, suggesting the propriety of an improvement in the Island Ness. A considerable sum has already been subscribed, and little more is want ing to complete an undertaking which shall com bine ornament with utility in a very eminent de gree. To natives of the North resident in Lon don, we need not appeal, as a recollection of the sweet scenes of' their youth will be the 'best prompter to liberality. Subscriptions for this Laudable. object will be received at the Sun Office, and transmitted to the Local Committee. Any description of the proposed improve ment and the romantic scenery would be super fluous, after the spirited account given in the Inver ness Courier. It is at once eloquent and just. The undertaking entirely merits our approba tion and best wishes for its success. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TwsLys o'CLocr. Business in the English Funds continues limited to-day, and the brokers seem almost solely employed in making up accounts against Tuesday's settlement! The general appearance of the market may be consi dered heavy, and prices have not been sustained since the opening of the house. The first price of Consols for Accaunt was 88,-1, but this remained for a very short time, and they successively receded to 88* b and 881 sellers. At present the latter is the price, and 88* for next account, rather sellers. An ex tensive sale has taken place in 31,per Cent. Re duced, at 954; New 4 per Cents. are likewise heavy. The premium on India Bonds remains 105 6; and, on Exchequer Bills, 72 3. The arrival of a packet from Mexico, which sailed from Vera Cruz the 31st May, has brought nothing that is satisfactory to the Bond-holders, no dollars, nor even preparation for sending any, appears to be taking place. The dividends seem, therefore, to be put off for an indefinite period, and the Bonds in this predicament have fallen to 40i from 40-I, the first price. Buenos Ayres Stock has receded a little to 431 41. Colombian, 231 4. In Portuguese or Brazilian Bonds there is nothing doing. Brazilian Mining Shares are lower, 47 49 prem. Anglo Mexican, 65 2} discount. In the City there are rumours of the ill-health of the first character in the country, and this is the reason given for the sudden return of the Lord High Admiral to town. We would refer our readers to the speeches of Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Peel last night on the subject of the American Tariff. There are some wholesome truths stated, which it might be well for the Legis lators of the United States to take into their serious and early consideration, for when once the stream of our supplies of the coarse materials for our manufac tures is turned into another direction, it may be difficult to bring the trade back—the observations made on the subject are interesting.

We regret to say we cannot add any information relative to the Belfast steamer. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. IN RE BAXTER. Mr. BARBER applied on behalf of a witness in this matter, committed for not satisfactorily answer ing the Commissioners, for a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring him up to be heard on his discharge. His LORDSHIP ordered the writ to issue for Thursday. BEAUFORT V. DUCHESS OF ST. ALBAN'S. Mr. PEMBERTON applied for leave to have a day appointed for concluding the hearing of this part heard case, before the vacation. His LORDSHIP could make no appointment to day, but would take care that it should be heard be fore the sittings broke up. DOWN V. BURNS. This was a motion to restrain proceedings upon an action at law, which occupied the morning. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The Court was occupied during the day with a bankrupt petition. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BOUCHER. V. KEEtik. This, was an action for an assault and false im prisonment. The plaintiff was an old woman, and sued in forma pauperis. The defendant is a publican, living at Bartholo mew-close, and he stated that the plaintiff having been noisy and riotous in the house, he gave her in charge to a constable, who took her to the Compter. The Constable said that the plaintiff walked to the Compter withoutassistance, and that no violence had been used. Lord TENTERDEN, after hearing so much of the case, recommended that a Juror should be with• drawn, as it was impossible that the Jury could give more than One Shilling damages. .& Juror was accordingly withdrawn. DALQLIESH V. LAWRINCR. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 3471. The bill was accepted by the defendant, and the de fence was, that there was a suit pending in Chan cery relative to the matter for which the bill was drawn. Lord TENTnRDEN thought there was no force in the objection, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY IS. CLARE V. BRENT, &C. Mr. PLATT opened the pleadings. The declara tion stated that on the 12th July, 1826, the de fendants, as directors of the East Kent and Canter bury Economic Fire Assurance Association, effected a policy of insurance upon a house and property be lonoing to the plaintiff; that that assurance was subject to several conditions—among others, that all persons sustaining loss by fire should render to the Association as quickly as possible, as particular an ac count of the value of the property destroyed as the nature of the case would admit. And again, that if any person should render a false account of the property destroyed, with a view to defraud the Association, he should forfeit all claim to any remuneration from it. The plaintiff then alleged that he had per formed these conditions, but that the defendants had not. The defendants, in addition to the plea of the general issue, pleaded several special pleas of justification, the most material of which were—that the plaintiff had not rendered so good an account as the nature of the case admitted, and that the ac count he had given was false and erroneous. Upon these pleas issue was joined. Mr. Sergeant TAnDY, who was also assisted by Mr. Sergeant WILDE, stated, that the plaintiff was a respectable linen-draper, who in 1823 had esta blished himself in business at Sheerness. At that time he insured his property at one of the fire as surance offices in London; but as the company of which defendants were the directors, and which was only recently established, offered terms more fa vourable in point of premium to most others, the plaintiff was induced to transfer his assurance from the London office to that of the defendants.— Some time after he had done so, on the 31st of July, 1827, his house, furniture, and stock, were entirely destroyed by fire, when, in pursuance of the condition contained in his policy of insurance, the plaintiff forwarded to the defendants as quickly as possible, an estimate of his loss, which amounted in the whole to 3,060/. In order to ascertain the cor rectness or incorrectness of this claim, the commis sioners appointed by the East Kent, &c. Association, subjected the plaintiff to several examinations of great length, and also had possession of all his books which had been preserved from the fire, which they had every opportunity of investigating. From these they must have been satisfied that the plaintiff's claim was a correct one; but when applied to by him to remunerate him for his loss, they refused to do so upon the ground that he had tendered a frau dulent account, and that he claimed for the value of more property than had been actually destroyed ; and that, upon the strength of the condition con tained in the policy, they insisted, was sufficient to exempt them from making any remuneration what e ver. The conditions of the policy were then read, and several witnesses were called, who stated that from what they had seen of the stock and household fur niture in the plaintiff's house immediately before the fire, they should conceive that it could not be worth less than 3,0001. After evidence had been given of these facts, and Mr. S. Cross had been heard in de fence, the Court was adjourned till to-morrow. t he vesiet THREE Om CL 0 CX. Consols for Account FOUR O'CLOCK..

So rapid is the substitution, that there are already in Strathaven 300 silk looms. The wages are nearly double what can be earned at cotton goods. It is flattering for the enterprise of our manufacturers that they haue so soon got a firm hold of this trade.-- Glasgow Chronicle. DREADFUL ,ACCIDENT.—This day at half past one o'clock, an accident of a most serious nature oc curred in the Waterloo-road, nearly opposite Ann-street. It appears that a gentleman was proceeding over Waterloo bridge on a spirited horse, the animal suddenly took fright at a report caused by the firing the Park guns, in honour of the anniversary of his 31AJzsrv's Coronation. It bolted with great fury over the bridge, and when near Ann-street, knocked down a labourer and nearly killed him. A FIRST-RATE ON THE STOCKS.--The ribs of a great ship, of 120 guns, without the planking, are, in my mind, more striking than the perfect vessel. There are no details to fritter away the feeling of awe; and the huge elaborate mass of timber lies before you, in all the beauty of its swelling and unbroken lines, yet solid and vast as the skeleto n o f a wor ld , t h e b one an d strengt h , as Wd well might b e li eve , of a magnificent and irresistible being. per Load of 36 Trusses.)

The Royal Duke immediately came on shore, and left Portsmouth about eleven o'clock, attend ed by Captain SPENCER, for London, where his Royal Highness arrived about half-past six o'clock. The Duke of WELLINGTON, on learning the arrival of the Lord High Admiral, despatched a messenger to His MAJESTY at the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park. Early yesterday morn. ing the Duke of WELLINGTON came to the Admiralty, and had a conference, which lasted upwards of an hour, with the Royal Duke.

ANNIVERSARY OF HIS MAJESTY'S CORO NATION.—This being the Anniversary of his MAJESTY'S Coronation; the morning was ushered in by a merry peal from most of the bells in the metropolitan churches. Flags were hoisted from many of the steeples, and also on the shot manufactories, near Waterloo Bridge. The Union Jack was hoisted on the mast head of nearly all the vessels in the river below London. Bridge, and presented a gay appearance. In the Parks the guard mounted in the court dress. At one o'clock the usual discharges of cannon were given from the Tower and Park guns. ST. PAUL'S C ATHEDRAL.—This morning a good deal of curiosity was excited in the neighbourhood of the Cathedral, by the appearance of a volume of smoke, apparently issuing from the top of the dome, and many of the passengers imagined that a fire existed. It however turned out that the smoke arose from a fire grate, used by plumbers, who are now engaged in repairing the dome. It has been found that in many places the lead which covers the dome has been fused, by the action of the sun, and in order to preserve the wood work it become abso lutely necessary to have the lead replaced. For this pur pose a curious expedient has been resorted to ; a wicker basket has been made, to the bottom of which is attached four wheels. The plumber having seated himself in the basket, is gradually let down on the outside of the dome by a strong rope attached to the basket, and made secure to the iron railings, which run round the visitora' place of observation on the top of the dome. Near him is also lowered a machine, havin g fire in it, with the m e lt e d l ea d in a pot on the tire, ready for use. With this he remedies those defects which have arisen in the leaden covering to the dome. The situation of the workman appears a most perilous one. The other parts of the dome are also under going the process of being cleaned. We hear the most lamentable accounts from our surrounding neighbourhood, of the damage done by the late heavy rains ; in Marshland especially the crops have suffered moat severely, being not merely laid iu the com mon acceptation of the term, but absolutely broken down. Most of those districts subject to inundation are cntnpletely under water, and as there is still a good deal of hay abroad, such will be of very little value, A friend has informed as that he has seen several pieces of wheat completely flat, thrnugh which the weeds are already making their apPear ance.

IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE CRI- MINAL LAW. (THE POLLOWINC IS A MORE ENLARGED ABSTRACT THAN PREVIOUSLY APPEARED IN OUR PAPER.) By an • Act of Parliament which received the Royal Assent on the 27th of June, and which came into operation on the Ist inst., most important alte rations have been made in that part of the Criminal Law which relates to offences against the person. The Ist clause or preamble, after stating that it is ne cessary to amend and consolidate the law respecting offences against the person, goes on to repeal wholly, or in part, nearly 60 Acts of Parliament; such repeal to take place on the Ist of July, when the present Act conies in force. The 2d clause annuls the old distinction between petit treason and murder. The 3d renders accessories to murder, before the fact ; equally guilty with the principals; and, by the 4th, this ancient custom of hanging murderers on the next day bur one after sentence is directed to be retained, anti the bodies either hung in chains, or given for dissection. If in Mid dlesex, the sth clause directs the bodies shalt be given to the Surgeons' Company. The 6th directs that persons convicted of murder shall be kept apart and fed on bread . and water only, except in cases of sickness, and that no pereon shall have access tn, them; except the gaoler and his servants, and the chaplain and surgeon of the prison, without the permission in writing of the Court, or Judge before whom the convict was tried, or of the Sheriff or his Deputy In. ease ot' respite, the Judge has the power also of relaxing these re gulations. The 7th enacts, that British subjects guilty of murder abroad, whether in the King's dominions, or not, shall be liable to be tried in this country by a special commission to.be appeintiod.for the purpose. If a peer of the realm, the accused to be tried by his peers as heretofore. " 'The Bth 'clause directs that where persons shall die 11l this country of hurts or poison given to them on the seas, the offender shall be tried in the county where such party died. The 9th and 10th clauses continue the old law as to manslaughter and justifiable homicide. The 11th and 12th declare all attempts to murder, whether by poisoning, drowning, suffocating, stranglirw, or pulling a . trigger with intent to shoot, to be capital fe lonies. The 13th makes the administering poison or other noxious thing to a pregnant woman, if quick with child, a capital felony; and if not quick, a crime punishable with 14 years' transportation. The 14th 'makes it a misdemeanour for a woman to se crete the dead body of her child, for the purpose of con cealing of its birth. The 15th and 16th re-enact the 41 law. The 17th makes the carnal knowledge of a girl under the age Of ten years, even with consent, a capital felony. IC the girl be above the age of ten, and under twelve, it is c misdemeanour. The 18th makes a most important alteration as to the proof required in cases of rape, and of a more revolting crime. The painful indelicate test before required to be sworn to by the female is abolished, and the fact of in ternal injury done to her person to be received as a suffi cient proof. The 19th and 20th relate to abduction.—lf forcible and against the woman's will, and for the purpose by marriage. of getting possession of her fortune, it is a felony punish-. able with transportation for life. If not forcible, but against the consent of parents or guardians, and the girl be under sixteen years of age, it is a niisdemeanour, pu nishable with fine or imprisonment, at the discretion of the Court. The 21st makes child stealing a felony, punishable with seven years' transportation. The 22d relates to bigamy, and continues use old law, but excepts from its operation any person marrying a second time whose husband or wife shall have been conti finally absent from such person for seven !;ears, and shall not have been known by such person tr.. be living withi❑ that 'time. The 23d makes the arresting a cle•egyman on civil process during Divine Service a misdenwmour. The 24th makes the assaulting officers employed in as sisting a vessel in distress, or ;.o the protection of stranded goods, a crime punishable With transportation for seven years. _ _ The 25th and 26th declare that persons guilty of as saults on peace officers, or to prevent the apprehension of offenders, or with intent to commit a felony, or in pur suance of a conspiracy Jo raise wages, shall be liable to hard labour in addition to imprisonment on conviction. fhe 27th clause completely alters the law as to common assaults, by giving a discretionary power to any two Ma gistrates of adjudicating. It declares that whereas it is expedient that a summary power of punishing persons f or commont :d, that assaults where n shall any other p erson , it s h a ll b e l aw f u l f or two J us tices of the determine such offence, and the o ff ender, upon convictive; before them, sh a ll p ay suc h fi ne as to them shall sii•en4 m'eet Peace, upon compl a i n t o f t h e party aggr i e ved, ro ‘ided , unlawfully be it therefore beatto o hear rea osr e sa n a a : c it cost s,a-lith if order e d, 5/ . which overseers of th e pa - not fine exceeding, d b i e ng iaid tog to et o h n e e r of v the rish where the o ff ence was' com mitted, for th e use of tl. general onunty rate. In default of payment immediately after the conviction, o r within such period as the Justices shall appoint, it shall be lawful for them to commit the offender to the common gaol or house of correction for any term not receding two calendar months, unless such fine he sooner paid. But it the Justices shall deem the offence not to be proved, or to have been justified, or so titling as 403 to went laany punissliment, a n d s h a ll accord i ngly ~i . .,.; „ is s the pint, they shall f ort h w i th make out a cer tificate under their hands, stating the fact of such dis missal, and shall deliver such certificat e to the party against i o oni the complaint was preferred. Th e 2Stlt clause declares,that where the t plained of eith er suffers the hmeut inap p o ar y , c o o r m i: dischargedpunishment by certificate, he uis shall be released from all cause, proceeding s , e i ther civil or criminal, for the same cuiTnnikit2fsell directsoiny,orbethiant theif t o l p le in as ic s n an o l f t th b e e Il w in ith ist i r n a t t e e n a t fi t( t ) case for prosecution by indictment, it shall be remitted to the Sessions. The Magistrates are further prohibited from determin ing any case of assault in which any question as to the title to any lands, &c. shall arise, or as to any bank ruptcy, or any execution under the process of any Court of Justice. The 30th makes it a misdemeanour for the master of a vessel to force a seaman on shore at a foreign part, or to refuse to bring him home. The rernahl'ing clauses set forth a form of summary con viction, and limit the time for proceeding upon the sum mary conviction clause to three months after the commi,, >ion of the offence. No conviction to he quashed for want of form, or moved by certiorat i into the superior Courts of Record. The Act not to extend to Scotland or Ireland.
