MS PRESENT MAJESTY. The following anecdote of his present MAJECTY, when Prince of Wales, strews the promptitude which he has always felt to embrace every idea that could promote the essential interests of the nation. It occurred in the veal. 1790, and is re corded by a writer of that period : _ . AN INTERESTING ANECDOTE.-Lord Rodney dining some months ago at Carlson House, con gratulated ttie Prince of Wales on seeing a plate of British cured herrings at table,—" Yonr Royal Higliness," said the Not)le Vetetean, " does intiuite good to the Navy, in encouragint , 11 ;!; eitattipie of English luxury ; eYery table will follow the fashion ; and if the number of fashion able tables in the nation is considered, the result may be in time an addition of 20,000 of the hardiest seamen to our navy—of seamen raised and employed in that branch of fishery which has raised Holland to her maritime force." " My Lord," replied the Prince, " you do my more justice than 1 deserve ; these herrings, I am sorry to say, were not cured by British hands. I understand your reasoning—it is just—it is that of Lord Rodney upon his own element. Hence forward I shall order a plate of British cured her `rings to he purchased at any expence, and appear a srandiug dish at this table—we shall call it a Rodney. Underthat designation, what true pa ti lot not follow my example ?" The above anecdote was related at the last meeting of the Directors, &c. for the British Fisheries, at the London Tavern ; and it was re solved to support an example of such illustrious personage, and such respectable recommendation. From such causes often are sown the first seeds of great events. It is . well known, that when the first herrings' of the season are brought from the North Seas to Holland, it is the etiquette, or even law of that country, to awaken the Prince of 01:Inge, should he be asleep at the time, in order to announce to him the news. The first herrings that are brought to Holland-in the sea son are sold at an enormous price ; they ate sent as presents to the Princes of Germany, in small parcels.; and, even to this day, there are a tew dozen sent, as an imp°, tant donation, from the Dutch to our East India Company. Such is the respect paid, by our wiser neighbouts to this branch of their national wealth. AWFUL OCCUP.RENCE!—Thurdsay morning, a man, apparently enjoying the saute health as usual, suddenly dropped down dead at the feet of his wife, who was at that titne in labour. It is how ever pleasing" to Mid, that in the night of the Shine day she was delivered of a fine boy, and the mother and chid ate likely to do well.—(B r i s t o l Paper) . ids 81 sand , ainS t a fter ;men( lea( dUd 181 ralry. • , ,c tbe 11 I )0 bY ] et! to ed t° 1 or frolo by t the ant Jura , E, ink fa: tni - ba y., ,:• 1 et 014 state reel) ? ;ring peat , eig° •iout, • , IV ; „I 1[ pre- r e , Live 1; 0 1, ••• 114 t j~~t~3y. Mit. SHERIFF' PARKINS. COURT OF REQUESTS, GUILDHALL. On Saturday Mr. She iitr l'AttxtNs attended at this Court to answer the summons of a publican in the neiibbourbood of Newgace-market, who demanded from the Sheriff the sum of 11. 13s. th e balance of a bill of 61. 13s. incurred at an enter tainment given by him to the Carlisle Election Committee on the 13'1) Nlay, 1818. It appeared trotu the statement of the publican that punch, tiegus, brandy, and rnm, had betn served to the Cortimittee at the timo they were at Work to secure the eleetion of the IVorthy ShetifF, two however obtkined but a very titholl number of efficient friends upon the occasion. Five pounds had been paid, but all applications tot. the baldric:. II ad been ineffectnni. The She►iff declared, that he bad given ordrs to the publican nor to !serve up more thin 5/. worth of punch, and 11191 the bill produced had been recently fabricated for the purpose of de franding him. The fiublican said, the Sheriff had placed no limit to the orde►s of die company, and that ►he charge was smaller than it ought to be, broken glasses not having been charged, a nti the waiter having received not a farthing. The Sheriff declared, that if the publican swore to the debt, a prosecution for perjury should be instituted. The publican did not hesitate to swear, And the money was pid. The Sheriff left the Cone', saying, that be would make an example of the plaintiff. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

' On Monday se'nnight, the Doke ot WELLING TON was shooting with other Noblemen and Gentlemen at Gunton, when the Duke killed a hare as it was passing over a lenCe. Some of the shot (supposed to •have struck against the thorns) glanced off sideways, and wounded a farmer's boy, who was in the road on the other side, in the face and thigh. The I);.ke evinced great anxiety at the event, until Afi': Sharpe, the Sur geon, who happened to be a spectator, examined the boy. and assured his Grace that the wouruls were inflicted by spent shot, and be of no consequence.

MR. HOBHOt SE. This being the day chosen tor making the re thin to the writ of Habeas Corpus, granted last Tuesday on the motion of Mr. Joshua Evans, for bringing up the body of John Cam Itobhouse, Esq. in order to be disehlrged from his commit ment by the House of Commons, Mr. bum n, the Governor of Newg,Hie, brought his prisoner into Court at 10 o'clock. Mr. ~ Uoblrou,e was ac componied by the lion. Kinnaird, and several other friends, and took his seat on the Attoiney's Bench. At an catty hour the Court was crowded in every part by spectators anxious to t , iiness the result of the proceeding. This, however, being cro.vn paper day, the Court, at its sitting, commenced with the business appoint.. ed for the day, and was employed in hearing ar guments upon Qnarter 6essions cases (none of %%Ankh were of public interest) until half-past two o'clock, When tine Chief Justice announced that the Court would proceed no further in the crown paper, and asked if Mr. Evans was in Court i Mr. Evans then ruse, and answered in the r ffirmative. Chief Justice—l understand the person on whose behalf you moved for a habeas Corpus the other day is now in Court. Mr. Hobhouse immediately stood upon the floor, and Mr. Brown, the gaoler, delivered his return to the writ, which was forthwith read by Mr. Dealtry, of the Crown-office. It com menced with reciting, that the Governor of New gate. in obedience to the writ of this'Court, most humbly certified that, before the commencing of the said writ, namely, on 13th Dec. 1819, John Cam floblionse, Esq. was committed to his cus tody by virtue of a certain warrant, to the tenor and effect following :—A copy of the Speaker's writ was then set forth on the return, which re cited, " that whereas the House of Commons haul resolved, that a certain letter, addressed to Thos. Lord Erskine, &c. was a scandalous libel and calculated to inflame the people °I this country to acts o f violence towards the Legklatnre, an,: more particularly towards the House of Com mons, and that•it was a high contempt of the pii ,,vileges and constitution of that House ; anti whereas John Cain Hobliort4, 14;sq. having ac• knowledged himself to be the author of the said libel ; and whereas the said House having this day .ordered blur, the said John Cain Hobhouse, Esq., 'to be committed to his Majesty's Goal of Newgate, these are, therefore, to rt•quire you so accept into your custody the body of the said John C.Aus Elobltouse, and him safety keep during the pleasure of the said Howe, for which this shall be your snfficient ,authority.—lLited 13th December 1819, and signed " Charles Manners Sutton." The return concluded, that the gaoler here by complied with the writ to him, directed by the Honourable Court, by bringing up the body of the prisoner. Mr. Hot house was then about to address the Court, when The Chief Justice said—" Then Mr. Evans does not appear for this gentleman." Mr. Hobhouse—No, my Lord, it k my pur pose to argue this case myself ; but as it is now a very late time of day, and as I labour under in disposition, which will not enable me to go through my case, I humbly move• and reqiiest that your Lordship will now allow the return to be filled, and to order that this case may be argu ed on Monday, or any other day that your Lord• ships may please to appoint. The Chief Justice—What are the points that you propose to argue. Mr. 11°1)1)005e—I intend to spew by the return which has been made, that the authority under which I have been committed, was incompetent for that purpose. I shall dispute the competency of the tribunal in question to commit au En glishman to prison. I shall attempt to spew that the return itself, even supposing the tribunal to which I allude, has sufficient authority to commit, contains certain improprieties which renders if impossible that I can any longer be detained in prison, or be subject , any longer to that re=tric tion mlti- which I have been so improperly placed. I can, however, go on if your Lordships' wi-ih The Chief Justice—Wait a moment, and we will consult what is the best course to adopt.— (The Judges remained in consultation a few mi nutes, when the Chief Justice resumed:)--It is important that we -should know what points of objection vowmean to urge to tire return. Mr. Ho-Wm-use—lt is Alike imp ossitile liar should enter into any detail at present if I am to come 'op again. The Chief Justice—We shall probably be in duced to give you the time, and not subject you to the fatigue of arguing the case now, if you tin& it inconvenient to yourself. But, before we do that, we wish to know what are the points of on ,j cction you mean, to urge to the warrant, as set forth in the return to us. Robbouse—My Lord, I intend, if I can, to show in the first place, that the House ot Com mons is not a Court of competent jurisdiction to commit The Chief Jetstice—That is not a pBint of ob jection relating - . to the terms of the return made to •ttS. _ Mr. Hobhouse—There is an adjudication -set forth in the return, -and unless .tbe House of Commons can adjudge upon the case, in question, that cannot make their warrant sufficient. 1 shall e ndeavour to sheiv , that the House of Comtpionsici not a C•mrt of Judicature. The Cl,refJustice—fs that your only ohjeation,A an d if: no t, be so good as state what other ottlee4' tion you have to urge. : Hohhouse—My other objection tbat-.4se li onse Commons, even assuming. it to lfka Court of Judicature, has taken under its cognie once what osnnot lie considered as a conterpp, hut as an offence at common law, and not in-*, why cog nitahle by that House,occordiug to thela- .
