THE LATE ACTION OFF ALGIERS. The spirited and gallant contest between his Majesty's brig Caine/ion, of ten 18-pounders and 75 men, and the Algerine corvette Tripoli, of 18 18-pounders, and IG2O men, almost within dun sot of the batteries at Algiers, contributed so highly to support the well-earned-character of our Navy, that a more detailed account of it can not but be gratifying. The following extract from the private log of one of the Officers, will strew the merits of the'respective parties hi this sudden and successful rencontre " At ..inewr.; in Algiers 8ay, , F11.. I " On the List ult. soon arta noon; the PEY gave' his final ul timatum, in the negative; to our demands ; whereupon the 'signal was trade by the Naiad to weigh,-and in standing out Of the bay,-about half-past three, we observed a stranger - in the offing,-Which st . 4 \ instantly made the signal Ifor -coming on, on the opposite tack.. Soon after „when sheltad got on our weather . beam, the Naiad -hoisted her ensign, which was followed by - the corvette hoiatinga large Algerine ensign •and :pendant... The., Naiad then fired a • shot to bring her to, when she instantly returned it. The signal, No. 3, being then made, to • tack-in chase, 'we immediately tacked, and opened our broad side on the chase; and -which we did-not cease living, except - When the Naiad was passing tetween us and the enemy, unti l .we laid. him on board. Sooh after the Naiad passed, she went a-head of the enemy, and tacked and stood out round her. By this time we got neatly yard-artn and yard .arm to the vessel, and by the well-directed fire of round and grape, many of her men were killed and wounded. . Capt.:Bua TON, now perceiiing that the . Naiad had made his signal cif recal, gave directions to load with 'grape and canister, Make ready to board, and whemall warready . to:give the last most destructive *Jou. We kept- away 'in- the •guas to bear : on lulling to again, to board, we had so much way . that we shot a-head; close under the enemy's bow : orders were instantly given to heave all a-back,- in order to bring the -eneirty''s bowsprit over the Carnelian's taffrail ; ..the enemy per ceiving this manceuvre; put. his helm a-weather to run to lee ward, ..viiien orders were given to drop the -peak, -bear round the headyards,.ll.- fill, to at hint wain. In a few minutes the ramelezn.-run her best bower into the enemy's fore chains. and instantly boarded with all•hands. Finding the crew el the corvette had run below, Lieut.llAtietF.L.(wiweendue:cd himself in the most gallant manner). was left on board toteke charge of her, the Captain having returned to take her in tow. In the . T/IfiflVEMe (when in the act of clearing 'the ship). Cant; SPEN CER stood-in, and ordered-the anchor to'be ant away." The Hon. Capt. SPENCER speaks in the highest terms of the gallant and seamanZke manner in-which Capt. BUITTON, his Ccers, and ship's company conducted- themselves during the action ; and which-opinion was seconded by three hearty -cheers lay. the ehip'x cornpanyof the Neiad,when th.?

I,IW ELLJG ENC E. • COURT OF CHANCERY, larterx 6. JONES V. WORMLEIGHTON. The SOLICITOR-OENERAL said that this - ease had: been ordered to stand at the head-of the paper, merely to remind his Lordship what • were the - principal points at issue. The appli cation was, that the Solicitor in the cause might be ordered to deliver the. p a pe r s in his possassien'inte:The Master's-Office. The.object-waS not to destroy the Soliciter"s lien upon the, lured in Court, but to put a speedy terniinatioa to the suit. - There. was a cese in 1 Swanstone; p: 1; whieli bore. immediately upon this point. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed; that in Courts of Law Solicitors could not be dismissed without the have of the; Court. ROUPELL:apprehended that. there was a great differ.• ence between Courts of Law and Equity upon this point. In Courts of Law the Solicitor was the only acknowledged party before the. Court ; but in Courts of itquitfthere was an inter mediate party, viz. the Six Clerks. - There were other cases be sides those cited by the Solicitoi;General, which were impor tant to be considered. Among them were Twart v. 'Derry, 13 Vts. 95,. and.Oeley v. Odey, 1 Sco, and Lef..Zlfi. There was: also another case not reportedewhere Whitton had been directed to deliver up a will. The..LOnD CHANCELLOIL said, that the case of a .will differ ed from the others as a wilt could not be used until the party: was dead, and until ititad be prOved. • 1:1r, Rot:Punt:intimated that that was the ground upon which the Court had decided the case. The Lonna . CTIANCELLOIL would consult with the Vice- Chancellor and the M aster of theltoils 'before he decided this important question. • XIIE ATTORNEY-GENERAL verius THE CORPOB.ATION OF BRISTOL. Mr. HART having been heard in reply on the demurrer, - The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed decided opinion that the demurrer could not stand, and that it ought to be amended, rendering the Guardians elethe Poor, Relators. His Lord-- ship took this opportunity of .observing upon the intricacy of pleadings. He recollected, in form e r times these.plead blies were extretnelf simpte," lint by modern practice they had been rendered most complicated. • •It had been thought set: visabie to assimilate the -pleadings of Scotland, the length ana intricacyof which had been much complained of, to those of England; but it appeared:to him , that the pleadings of this country were now nearly as intricate as:those-of Scotland, and therefore little would be gained •by this assitoiliation. There was scarcely an Act of Parliament now introduced without a clause for a general - issue, 'and this general issue frequently created the greatest complexity. He slid ran confine these 'ob servations to.(ec . nuts of Equity only, but meant them to apply also to Courts of Law. The practice which had been now generally adopted, of making cases instead of taking a special verdict, i had, he conceived, been most mischievous, inasmuch as it de prives the party of the benefit of a - writ of error. With respect to the Act of Parliament -which had been made the subject of tifis.dernurrer, there could be no doubt that-it was .en,lst bene ficial, as it relieved prieoners from - the payment of jail fees ; • but there was as little doubt that it requireti.considerable er relent. His decided opinion was, that the use:4;es belonging to the Corporation were not touched by the Act, but yet the At torney-General was certainly entitled to some discovery. The . 1 demurrer, however, as now freMed, could not be sustained. The high wind on Wednesday tai '.,t was so_ verely felt in Kensington Gardens. Fourteen large trees have - been blown down, and the frag ments of loose branches were scattered in every direction : some of large size. The keepers, in their .daily and nocturnal walks, were often placed in 'great danger from the falling pieces but we have not heard .of any accident happening to them. FOR THE SUN.

SENTENCE on CONNOLLY and MORAN HERTFORD, .31Auc11 This morning, at half•past nine o'clock, ill r. Justice Bxsz took his seat in the Crown Court, whoa Patrick Connolly and Huzlt Moran, convicted yuterday of manslaughter, were put to the bar. .Mr. Justice BEST then proceeded to deliver the judgment of the Court :—With respect to you, Hugh Moran, there is no doubt but you acted and took a share in this nefarious trans action, from a mistaken sense of the duty you owed to your master ; but I trust the sentence the Court is now about to pronounce on you will be a warning to every person who fills a similar situation, that while they are bound by ri, moral tie to • yield implicit obedience to all lawful commands given by their employers; they are not to obey unreason able and unjust mandatew—and if they do, that circumstance will not shield them •-from the powerful arm of the law.— such obedience as this is inconsistent not only with the laws, but with the rules by which civilized society is guided. One strong circumstance in your favour, Moran, is, that you did not execute the dreadful and savage command which was given you by the prisoner.—With respect to you, - Connolly, there cannot exist a doubt but that at the time you fired at the officer, when that officer came to execute a Magistrate's warrant, you were actuated by the worst feeling which it is possible to pervade human nature ; at the same time charity would hope that you -were-in some degree ignorant of the nature suffered of y ti , i i e r lr in , d an t ti o u b nd erl e iatt hri_ta,lthi irritated d e a to o i a , n supposed urigo,.et n trespass, abie extent.

No Man o fr f o a m ht u n g ia . e i r i i e 'rg dit t :p n osulon, of libernl sentiments, and enlightened mind, would have condu c t e d hi mse lf in t h e manner y o u : h ave done, from the beginning t o t h e an d of thi s transaction.— When the :officer came. to the house, you resisted him in the discharge deity, anti .levelled at him a deadly engine, lodgedand d t of his contents its in his erson. Afteryou had., so done, the victim of Your insatiate revenge cried out that he was p y wounded ;, yet were n either your humanity nor Christian sym pathyyou ahould have stayed your vengeful arm ; - but instead of this natural.

In the course -of my life I nev er knew a man conduct himself more viciously than you did after you fired the gun. We have be held,the murderer with his hands reeking with blood lamenting his folly with remorse after the object of his malignant hatred was destroyed ; but this way not the case with you, for you fired a second and a third ~ gun, and the gun was further loaded when y ou wer e apPredended. Such conduct cleaily proves that yo u are e ntirely unfit to remain in this country; (The prisoner here burSt into tears.) It is a painful-duty, but one which I ow,!:- to the country, to order and adjudge you, Patrick Connolly, to be transported beyond the seas for the term of your natural life; and that You, Hugh Moran, belmnrisoned six calendar months in the 'lous e of •Correction, and kept to hard labour.—The prisolierb were then removed from the bar. OXFORD ASSIZES, TNlAncir 4. [Before Mr, - Baron G r.iliam.l John Carter, .the celebrated pugilist, was indicted for steal ing, on the 213th of June last, a paper parcel from the Banbury mail, containing two 51. notes and three 11. notes of the Ban bury-Brink, the property of John Payne. Mr. John Payne proved the putting the parcel into the mail. Peruberknohe machrsian, proved that he put the parcel into the pocket on the left side of the coach, the only inside passengers being the prisoner and an old Lady (Mrs. Gold), who was set down before the coach ar:iyea at Woodstock. Two Niles beyond the place where he put down -Mis. Gold. he missed the parcel, and when he missed it, h e c h arg e - the prisoner , the only p erson i n the coach, with steali ng it. The prisoner said, So help me G-- I have not got it," and turned his pockets inside out ward. When they - got-to Woodstock the witness insisted that prisoner had got it, which the. prisoner denia The witness desired hiny - 4.c. pull off his-shoes ; he did so, when Witness saw paper, and said—", That's the parcel;" on which prisoner, with a very violent exclamation, gave witness a blow on the aheelt, which knocked out one of his teeth, and put his shoe on ag.in. The nrisoner then appeared to put something into his trowsers, and also to have put something into_his stocking. Witness searched no 'further: . „.,.. Cnss-examined by Mr.-Ctr Rwoos.—Witness did not search further, though there were nine men to assist him, because they were all afraid of the prisoner, for the prisoner we such a noted boxer he would frighten a whole vil!age. They never at any time found either the notes or the envelope. Prisoner said the paper in ifis shoe was to preve - et the wet cooling through a, hole in the tole of the shoe ; When before the Magistrate, the shoe he then wore had no hole in it, but that was -weeks aftcr: ; bat the prisoner admitted them to be the same shoes. The witness would ad mit that the prisoner was an old' friend of his, though he did admit that he carri'cd him gratis at the reqaest of the people of Banbury, Where the fight was. Mrs. Gold proVed that she took away no parcel except her own. Carter, in his defence, said he frequently got out to drink gin with the coachman, and while they were doing so, per sons from time to time went to the coach. The Learned Banox summed up the evidence. Verdict— Guilty. Satiience —Transportation for saven years. EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
