Lieutenant Hodson rode, and which was killed, shall be indersaniicd fur his loss." PRIVATE LgrrEits. Gla.tgaw, .Ipril6, Quarter-past Eight, Morning. "MI is quiet at this moment.—But the vary ing tale' of report meets you in every shape, end front every quarter. " I was out supping at midnight last evening, and though the bugle sounded twice during the hours from nine to twelve—and you heard no thing save the UN " tneared tread" of foot and hoof—all was tranquil as a summer's sea, when I went to my lodgings again. This, li confess to you, strikes me as one of the worst symptoms of the bad spirit prevailing among the deluded and the deluders. Their aim is broken. But the inextinguishable hate—the unconquerable will remain. " The most admirable preparation, and spirit of vigilance prevail among the Authorities.

Tl.e Lo[in CHIEF JUSTICE sat this day at Guild hall, pur , tint to adjoult.nient, to try several Spe cial July causes. ATWOOD V LONG. This action was brought to recover an alleged loss of 1500/, which the p!aintiff sustained by ne gligence on the part of the Captain of a ship, be longing to the defendant. The plaintiff had entered into the terms of a charter party, by which he hired the defendant's slop Lion, to tiling home to England a cargo of corn, to be shipped by Pacifico and Co., t»er ehtants, at Ancona, in the Adriatic. The plaintiff was to provide mats, and dunnage for the cargo, according to the practice at Ancona, which ap peared to he this :—The merchant, shipper of corn, sends certain peraovs, inhabitants of the place, on board die ship, who are in the constant haliit of placing rhosnage, made of vine branches, and mats, for a cargo of this description. In this case the dunnage and matting was improperly stowed, and the result was, that the ship having sailed a short distance on the voyage home, found her pumps choaked with corn, which got out of the hold to thezbilge water. In that state she was 'under the necessity of returning to Ancona, where the cargo was unshipped and re-stowed, Tie delay which thus occurred detained the ship till the ports in Eitelaod ,iere shut, by the operation of the Corn Bdt, against the importation of fo reign grain, and the plaintiff finding no market, sustained the loss which he sought to recover. It WAS COnteodCd (hit the bad stowage was trees rioned by the neglect of the Captain, who was expected to see the dunnage properly laid; in stead of which, he left !hi. men sent ou board at Ancona, to work without his superintendence. The defroce was, that the Captain, by the ens loin of merchants at Ancona, was not bound to interfere with the stowers, hot to permit them to work according to tlie orders received from the werchantm, their employers. The Jury, under all the circumstances, retired trout cite box one hour, arid, On their return, found a verdict for the plaitoiff—Damages, 65/. LONDON SESSIONS. SEDITIOUS PLACARDS. Yelterday these Sessions commenced before the Lonn M%YoR, the COMMON SEILIVANT, Aldermen Sir IV. DOMVILLIr., 'Sir R. C. GLYN, Black!, LeIGHTON, and MAGNAY. TLIOMAS DAVISON, a publisher of political pam phltts, echo was some time ago convicted before the late Lord I.llAyor (Alderman Aikins), of luir ing printed bills relating to the Address passed at the first Stnithfirid meeting, without being duly lice , .sed, and tined 201. now appealed agdiast the conviction. The appellant, upon being "asked whether he had Cbunsel, said he was a poor man, and could not afford to employ any. The conviction, Which was established upon the 39th of Geo. 111. an Act for the Suppression of 'Societies of a Treasonable and Seditious Charac ter, was then read,' and Mr.sAnanni stated the case - for the respondent. In doing so, he said the Act alluded to, having in contemplation the pre vention of dangerous publications, directed that due notice should be given to the Clerk of the Peace by any person who intended to keep or use printing-presses, and that the penalty should, in the event of non-compliance, amount to the above sum, but lay within the discretion of the Magistrates in point of mitigation. It was neces sary, io order to establish the conviction, that the proceeding should take place upon the informa tion within three months ot the period at which the offence was committed. On the 3d of August the information was laid, and on the 28th of Oc tober the case was heard. He then stated the facts, which were briefly as follows :—On the morning of the 3d of August about two o'clock, an officer saw ts'o men putting up at the corner of St. Martin's-le-Grand bills, of which the fol lowing is a copy:— " GRATIS ! 'f he Address passed at Smithfield, of the People of England to the People of Ireland, May be had gratis yf all Political Booksellers in the United Kingdoni. " E. J. lir,Asrnan, Secretary. " Tt Davison, Printer, 10, Duke-street, Smithfield." These men stated, that Mr. Davison had em ployed them ; and Mr. Davison, upon being ap plied to, did not deity the asser►ion. It was im possible to guess what defence .could be set up, for tilt acknowledgment had been made, and Mr. Davison had not been licensed. The act stated, that if l►e " kept or, used " a pt ess or types, w iih out being duly authorised, he became respon sible. Mr. Davison-1 admit I used the press. Mr. ARABlti—Then the case is merely a matter of law. 111 r. Davison --1 appeal against the general conviction, and agdi-nst the time. '['he evidence was (hen called. 111 r. Davison, who was quire ►►nacquaiuttd with the proceedings of the Court, slid he would spare them the trouble by corking every admission, ex cept those which he had mentioned as the grounds of his defence. The COMMON SERGEANT said, that every al lowance should be made fur him, as he had no Connsel. It will he recollected, from our Mansion-house report, that the' decision upon this case was grounded upon the evidence of some witnesse., who stilted that the bills were wet, and that the. presumption was, that they had been printed at any rate within three days of that on which they were found in the possession of the bill-sticker. The same evidence was now heard. William Cooke was of opinion that they were fresh from the press, most probably not more than a day, for they were damp. Mr. Davison cross-eicamined the witness, with the view of showing that bills night be damp se veral tiAys alter the printing. Tire witness was conviortd of the contra, y. A at chman, named Sullivan, stated that he went to the defendant's house, atter the bill stickers had been apprehended; to tell hint to bail them, and that he askcd the defendant for one of the addresses that hat been passed at SalialficAd as be was an Irishman. The defendant said he would - give the' address, and the witness accord ingly got it. The witness having been asked whe ther hP had the address, Mr. 3 RABIN said, be could not think of calling for such a publication. The witness said, Mr. Davison said be bad used Mr. Mason's press. Mr. Davison—You ought to remember that you are upon oath. Witness-1 am aware of that. The COMMON-SERGEANT - It is silly to remind the wi:ness of that. Davison—Why did he say that I gave him the Address ? Vv itness—l never said so. I got it from a woman in your shop, and she said she would give me fitty addresses, if I'd give them to my coun trymen.. I said I only wanted one for myself, and did not wish to distribute them. Mr. W. T. Raven, of the office of Solicitor to the Treasury, stated that he searched the office of the Clerk of the Peace, and no entry had been made of a printing-press in the name of the de fendant, -up to the period at which the informa tion vras laid. • Mr, Davison—This is no evidence. Why is not the Clerk of the Peace himself examined ? The Commorl SERGEANT—It IS evidence. You may bring evidence to contradict it. Mr_ I. G. Mosely, cletk in the office of Clerk of the Peace, stated that he had also searched the books, and found that no entry had been made before the information wag laid. Mr. Davison, being caned upon for his de fence, said, he had indeed very little to say. " I appeal against the conviction," said he, " becAus,! I am a very poor man, and have a young family to support. I have been some time acquainted with Mr. Mason, who lent me the preen, and I had not an idea it could he tortured to the Meaning, that two men were obliged rt . :take out separate licen ces for one 'press. I hope the Court will take this into consideration. It was in the tower of the Lord Mayor to mitigate the penalty, but he would not." The COMMON SERQBANT----" This is not a legal objection. Your poverty may certainly be plead ed in mi:igation but those bills were stuck up in the 'tight." Mr. Davison—" Not by ,my direction." He then called J. Loatkman, one of 'hose who were" taken in the art of sticking the bills. This wines answered 2 or 3 questions, upon the subject of the day on which the bill-sticking took ph Le, in such a wanner as CO induce the Common-Sergeant to ask , him whether be meant to say, when examined at the Mansion-house, what was true or what was false• To this ques tion be said be supposed lie meant to speak the truth. His memory was, hOwever, completely gone upon the subject now. He was in some respects contradicted by a re spectable person. Mr. Davison said, he had not . given any direc tions:to the man to say any thing. _ The COMMON-SEEGUANT stared, that all the -facts were admitted, and that the defendant was liable to the 'penalty, which it waa, however, in the power of the Court to mitigate. The conviction was then confirmed, and the full penalty demanded. The costs were remitted. Mr. Davison asked for time.—The Act directs that the penalty be paid before the rising of the Court. LONDON ORPHAN ASYLUM.—An excellent din ner was yesterday given to the supporters of-this valuable Institution, at the City of London Ta vern. It was numerously attended. Mr. Taos. WILSON, M. P. presided in the absence of the LORD MAYOR. The non-attendance of the Chief Magistrate was to be attributed wholly to a mis take, it being his full intention to have complied with the wishes of the Managers of this Institu tion, and :to have taken the Chair. The cloth having been removed, the usual toasts were pro posed and drank. On " The Royal Family• being given from the Chair, it was received with• enthusiasm.--[Some few Radicals called out " The Queen," but they were hissed down,]— " The memory of the Duke of Kent, the Patron of the Asylum, was drank in silence, and was succeeded by " The prosperity of the Loudon Orphan Asylum." In proposing this letter toast, Mr. Wilson expressed his high approbation of the Institution. It was but seven short years since its commencement, and he hoped it was now esta blished on a firm foundation. Its object, the support of the, friendless orphan, to give food, clothing, and education to those helpless beings, metited, and he was satisfied would receive, the patronage of every feeling heart. The number of orphans first supported by this Institution was only four, but by the liberality of the public, that number had been now increased to 95. At about nine o'clock the Lord Mayor entered the room, and was received with loud applause. lie shortly and satisfactorily explained the cause of .the mistake, and concluded with proposing a toast which was drank with great enthusiasm—". The liberties of the people, and may they never be crusbcd by despotism, or rent asunder by de mocracy." The subscriptions received in the course , of the evening amounted to almost 10001. At about half•past ten Mr. Wilson lett the chair, and it was filled immediately by the Lord Mayor. After a few more toasts the company retired, well pleased with the hilarity and festivity displayed. The Doncaster Gazette sAys, " We are informed that Mr. HUNT left York without paying the tavern bill of the witnesses. Mr. FLOWER, at whose hone they were, was directed to apply to the Committee in Leeds for the amount, which he did without success, beinglteferred by them to Manchester." On Tuesday Mary Lee, a young woman of no toriously had character, underwent the punish ment and disgrace of being exhibited in the stocks for six hours, in the Orange Grove, tor re peated acts of drunkenness, and dissolute con duct.—(Bath Herald.) A machine has been completed at New York for sweeping the streets of that town. It per forms the work of 40 men, and trot only sweeps the sneers, but Collects the dirt into heaps to be carried away. EARTHQUAKE. r CORK, APRIL 6.—A smart shock of An earth' quake was telt at Cove, Spike Island, Middleton► Ballinacurra, and in several other, parts of the Country in that direction, on Wednesday morning: . We have received the following letter from a very respectable Gentleman, giving some particular , ' and have conversed with others who felt ths shock : " It would appear that a smart shock of 811 earthquake was felt in this town, and at Ballyav curra, a mile hence, between the hours of tvi g and three in the morning. It lasted for a fe' l seconds. Though I slept in the town, 1 did no t feel it myself ; I have had it from several respect' able families, and from many of the lower orders also. All agree that it was a sensation thef never felt before. Several told me that the houses and beds were agitated, and some arose quill alarmed. One Lady, of great veracity, informed me, that she distinctly heard two vessels in bet bed-room strike against each other, and t h a t .lbss snuffers chanced its position. Several persons had been awoke from sleep. A violent explosion of gunpowder, if sufficiently near, would, in tor mind, produce exactly the same tremulous se' sation as that above described. From the mills of Ballincolig no scusible effect could, I apprehend• be produced ()eye. If, unfortunately, any accideni of the kind happened at Spike Island, it certain), may he felt here. I am not aware it there be all depot of the kind at Fermoy. I trust that no INV gazine of airy ship at Cove has exploded." In addit)on to the foregoing,. we learn, that a similar shock was experienced, about four o'clock thit morning, at Hattlboline, where several per-. sons were obliged to prostrate themselves on the groend, not being able to preserve an erect pos . ture, from the agitated state of the earth. [A NOTH ea A CCOUNT.]—A beet two o'clock ois Tuesday mornina last, a violent shock of el I Earthquake was felt at Cove, which continue , ' for about a minute. Several persons were vets strongly affected on this occasion, and we baso., heard of one pe r s on being nearly thrown out of his bed. Notwithstanding the durability of the materials composing the Guard House at Hay& bowling, this place was convulsed to the last de" gree —lts effects also extended to the neighbour' hood of Midieton, and other parts of the County. A similar alarm was experienced in this coital in 1755, immedi %rely after ruse fatal Earthqaakis at Lisbon, and before the news of that melte)" choly event was received here.— (Cork ildveriart April 6.) ROBBERY AND MURDER. An Inquisition was held on Friday last, a t Or! house of Mr. Benjamin King, the White Iloilo Tavern, Church -street, Chelsea, before Tnosisis STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mr. Thomas Marks, a respectable Gentleman, wild resided at Battersea. The body of the deceased, was discovered, on last Thursday morning, bc some watermen, floating on the water, going through the bridge ; they took it out, and carried it to the bone•house; near Chelsea Church, fi t the Coroner's Inquest. The deceased was about„ thirty-five years of ag e, an d was not h ear d Or since the, morning of the 21st of last month, unul, found drowned. No evidence being before the Jury how he came in the water, they returned verdict—" Found drowned." On Saturd4 morning, when the undertaker's men came t 9 strip the body in order to put it into the coffin , they discovered a fracture Oil the left side o f the bead, and a stab, as if from bayonet or ilia; under the breast. The friends of the decease' caused the Coroner to issue his warrant, a nd the same Jury were summoned again, and met 44 seven o'clock on Saturday evening. It appeared* on stripping the deceased, that his gold watch was found next his skin, inside his drawers, node, his knee : he bad only 'th r e e p enn y wort h or half pence about him, and his pocket-book wAg found in the skirt pocket of his coat, with sauce letters in it, which led to the discovery of the tie' ceased.—Mr. Keele, of Cheyne-walk, Chelsea* surgeon, examined the body : he probed • tilt wound, which, in his opinion, was the cause os• his death. It appeared that the deceased had rr ceived 1001. in notes, two days before his leavieg home, and whether he was robbed of them or no* could not be ascertai ne d. I t was suppose d, frogs his watch being found concealed as it was, do g the deceased, finding himself attacked by robbers* put the watch in his drawers for safety, and that after he bad been robbed and murdered, his bo(if was thrown into the water, but in what p Wi) ft 1! could not be ascertained. Verdict—“ Murder against sonic person or persons unknown.
