This was a suit brought by the assignees of the owners of a moiety of the ship Ann, to recover the amount of a bond, passed in April 1826, to secure the return of the vessel to Whitehaven, the port to which she belonged. Dr. JESSE Ai3DAms now moved the Court to declare the bond forfeited, as the vessel had not returned within a reasonable time, which he argued was the true construction of the bond. The facts were, that the master, who was the owner of the other moiety of the vessel, declared, before he took her abroad, that she should never return to England. She sailed from Whitehaven to Gibraltar, laden with coals, from thence to Leg horn, from that port to Halifax, and back to Leghorn, where she was hired to a merchant for an unlimited period at a monthly freight. When these circum stances were added to the declaration of the master that the vessel should never return to this country, his intention was put beyond all doubt. It was no an swer to say that the ship was now on her return home, for the same statement had been made months ago, and without foundation. The terms of the bond, he insisted, implied that the vessel was to re turn after the first voyage, and in default of that re turn the bond was legally forfeited. Dr. LUSHINGTON on behalf of the owner of the other moiety of the vessel, contended that no grounds had been shown for declaring the bond forfeited. The vessel was now on her return from Leghorn to the port of Belfast, and would have re turned to Whitehaven long before now, but for the difficulty of getting a freight from the Mediterranean, which was quite notorious to all persons acquainted with mercantile affairs. Whitehead (the master) denied having declared that he intended to keep the ship abroad for ever, and had exerted himself to the utmost to procure her speedy return. Lord STOWEL said, that as the ship was now stated to be actually on her return from Leghorn, it might be as w e ll t o wa i t f or a f ortnight before declaring the bond forfeited. Dr. JENNEB. said the oily objection was, that the case might be thrown over the long vacation. Lord STowEL—The case shall not be thrown over the vacation. If the vessel does not arrive within a port of Great Britain in one month, I shall declare the bond forfeited. THE SCIENCE. This was a claim for salvage, brought by the crew of a fishing -smack against the owners of the brig Science, which, on her voyage from Sunderland to London, laden with coals, got on the Gunfleet Sands, off the coast of Essex, and made signals of distress. The fishing-smack went to her assistance, and the vessel and cargo, which were valued at i,6001., were saved. The COURT awarded the sum of 701. to the salvors. There were some other salvage cases disposed of, the particulars of which are of no public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. HUOIRES V. CUTTEN. This was an action of trespass, brought by the plaintiff against the assignees of a bankrupt named Larmouth, for having forcibly seized certain goods which the plaintiff claimed to be his. Mr. Sergeant TADDI stated the case. The plaintiff had been the sbopman of Larmouth, and pur chased his business from him some time previously to his bankruptcy ; notwithstanding which, the as signees of Larmouth had thought proper to seize and dispose of all the property found on the premises. Several witnesses were examined on the part of the plaintiff, but their prevarication was so gross, that the Jury, without entering into the merits of the defendant's case, declared that, in their opinion, the alleged transfer was made with a fraudulent in tent. They accordingly found a verdict for the de fendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that in the whole course of his experience he had never witnessed such gross and abominable perjury, and but for the hope that the persons guilty of it would be prose cuted for it and for a conspiracy, he would commit some of them to the Fleet prison for the remainder of the Sittings. REILLY V. GAY. This was an action by the plaintiff, who was the solicitor to the plaintiff in the former cause, against a tradesman residing in Hounslow, for the amount of a bill of costs. It was distinctly proved, that Reilly had agreed to take as a compensation for his trouble half what he should succeed in recovering for the defendant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, under these circum stances, directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. WRILLICS V. OXE, IMSBITT, AND MI MS. This was an action of trespass, brought by Weilles, a schoolmaster, residing at Chelsea, and by his wife, against the defendants Gee, Nesbitt, Cooper, and INl`Beath. Mr. Sergeant WILDE stated the case. The defendants had conspired for an unworthy ob ject, which they had carried into effect by violence ; the plaintiff was an infirm man, living in a small house at Chelsea; he had some transactions with Gee, who produced a no t e of hand from hi m, as well as from Mrs. Weilles.— Upon the day which gave occasion for the present action, three of the defendants proceeded to Chelsea, and after arresting the plaintiffs, forced t h e , t o execute . a wa rrant of att orney, trans ferring all the r property as a security for h the amount of t e two writs. This warrant of attorney w as subsequently cancelled, with costs against Gee, under the dire ct i on of the Court of The Learned Sergeant would prove King's Bench. case by the Sheriff' s officers the facts of the cers, who accompanied the defendants, and then l eave it to the Jury to say what damages the plaintiffs were conduct. Joseph en titled to r ecove r for s Joseph AVarmsleY— lam a sheriff's officer. O n the 29th of February, 1826, I was called on, on the part of Mr. Gee, to execute processes agai nst t h e wife—one f or th e sum of 191. 195., plaintiff and his and the o th er f or 131. 14s. The writs were br oug h t to me by a M r . N es bitt, one of the defend ants. I was d es i re d to atten d on the next day, at the offi ce of Gee, who is an a ttorney, residin g w ent and found in North- street, Red Lion-square. I Nesbitt, Cooper, and M'Beath there. Cooper is a clerk of G ee ' s . At Nesbitt ' s des i re I a cco mpanied 7 hen we them to Marlb oroug h- square, Ch e l sea .

I was about to bring away Nesbitt pro who were very much annoyed indeed.. Posed that security by them, and should be given . said that if they made over their furniture to . him ( 1 '4449 it should be a discharge to the action.— Mr. and Mrs. Weilles were so much terrified, that they offered to do any thing rather than be taken to prison. The doors of the, holtse was locked by some of the defendants, and the key was handed to me; Nesbitt asked Cooper and Mq3eath, whether they had a stamp, they answered in the negative, but imme diately proceeded to procure one. Nesbitt opened the door for the purpose of letting them out, and again locked the door. They returned in about au hour, with a stamp. The plai.itiff, by the direction of Nesbitt made tea, and also procured some gin, which was drank. The stamp was filled up by Cooper, who explained the nature of it to the parties. They were informed that it was a transfer of their pro perty, and signed it. They appeared to have had no previous intention of making such a transfer, and the proposal was evidently a surprise to them. During the time we were in the heuse, Nesbitt used very indecent conduct to Mrs. Weilles. William Thompson was the assistant of the last witness upon the occasion in question ;—his evi dence did not differ materially from that of Warms ley. Neither of the witnesses had seen the defen dant Gee during the transaction, but it appeared that he had subsequently adopted the conduct of the other defendants. Mr. Sergeant TADDY addressed the jury on the part of Nesbitt and 111 4 13eath, and Mr. Sergeant JONES on behalf of Gee. Verdict for the plaintiffs.—Damages 20/. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. THF. ATTORNEY-GIENERAL V. FISH AND COLLINS. This was an information filed by his Majesty's Attorney-General, against the defendants, respecta ble tobacconists, of St. John's-street, Smithfield, to recover a penalty of 501. for sending out a pound of segars without a certificate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL with whom was Mr. Clark and Mr. Walton, opened the case. He stated that previous to the Ist and 2d Acts of the present King, every trader was obliged to get a permit for sending out any quantity of tobacco above lib. weight. That measure was thought too grievous upon' the traders, and by more recent Acts they were obliged to enter all quantities between 11b. and 101 b. in a book, an 4 send a certificate with it. All quan tities under a pound were to be entered in another book, furnished by the Excise for that purpose. On the 17th of last February, some Excise officers were making a search on the premises of a tobacconist named Roberts, in St. John's -street, Smithfield, within one hundred yards of the defendant's house. They discovered a considerable deficiency in Ro berts's stock, to hide which a fifty-six pound weight was smuggled into the scale with the tobacco; that, however, was discovered, and dur ing the search a servant of the defendant's brought in some tobacco in parcels, and one parcel containing a pound of segars. The tobacco had permits, but the segars had no certificate; the officers of course examined the parcels, and finding no certificate, seized and condemned the segars. The man who brought them instantly left the shop. He (Mr. Scarlett) then call the three excisemen who made the search, and proved the following facts :—No entry had been made at Fish and Col lins' of the pound sent; they were straw segars, and at the time of the condemnation, weighed exactly a pound.with the paper. One of the witnesses stated, that it was an even pound; without the paper would make it a good pound. Mr. THESSIGER for the defendant, attempted by cross-examination to prove, that the pound of segars seized was not a full pound of tobacco, as laid in the information. The Attorney-General produced the condemnation of defendant's book for small entries, and proved that it had not been en tered there. The facts of* the seizure were also proved, and that the duties alleged to have been evaded was 3s. The case having closed for the Crown, Mr. TUESSIGER addressed the Jury for the de- j fendant. Nothing, he observed, could be more cap tivating than the cool smoothness with which this case was opened by the Attorney-General. He had admitted the respectability of the defendants, who had, in fact, been in business earlier than the life of the advocate who was addressing them (Mr. T.), and it would be for them to judge, whether men of such stability could be guilty of defrauding his Majesty's Board of Excise, of the immense sum of three shillings. The Attorney-General had not been able to screw himself up to the belief that the defendants had committed a fraud, and had not even accused them of it, otherwise than by insinuation. The case in itself was really so ridiculous, that he (Mr. T.) could not have addressed them with gravity, if the case had not been harsh and oppres sive towards his clients. There was his Majesty's Attorney-General, assisted by two of the ablest Crown Officers, solemnly pressing for a sum of three shillings; and yet the case seemed of so weighty a nature, that they hardly seemed to be able to bear it amongst them.—(Laughter.)—He aelnitted that it was an unfortunate coincidence, but nothing more; and it was the first time he had ever heard that no distinction was to be made between inadvertency and criminality. The condemnation had been brought forward to put a gag, as it were, in their mouths concerning the weight of the tobacco, but he would yet overcome that objection, for he would prove that the straw of the segars weighed at least half an ounce, and it would thus be for them to decide whether a pound of segars, including straws, were a pound of tobacco. The Learned Gentleman then called a servant of the defendant, who proved that a pound of segars had been borrowed from Roberts by defendants, and that the segars in question were intended as a repayment. The segars weighed a pound, including the straws, which weighed about half an ounce. The Attorney- General however proved, by cross-examination, that a pound of segars bad always been entered both to the excise and the defendants' customers as a pound of tobacco. The Learned Counsel then replied for the Crown, that the defendants had subjected themselves to a penalty of 1001. for not having entered them as being less than a pound, in the excise b oo k. He had made them a pound both with the excise and his customers, and it remained with them to say whether he could now, for the purpose of evading the penalty, contend that they were not a pound. The LORD CHIEF BARON left the question to the jury, remarking, however, that the condemna tion bad always been received as conclusive evidence of the weight or quantity. The Jury retired, and after an hour's deliberation returned the following verdict :—" We find for the defendant, because there was not a pound of to bacco." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL, A person of the name of Wood, and his wife Sophia, were brought to the office under the follow ing circumstances :—John Eellington, a sailor, hay ing just set his, foot on terra firma, got intoxicated on Saturday evening with others who were in com pany with him. The two prisoners constituted part of the circle, and Mr. Jack, on finding himself getting overcome by the effects of the heavy, gave his watch into the custody of the female prisoner, as he thought, for safer custody than had been suffered to remain with himself. Next . morning, on requesting to be favoured with the return of his watch, Mrs. Wood informed him very politely, that soon after she had got it into her possession, there arose a great row in the house, (in Barbican), in which she got drawn of the watch. Search had been made in most of the pawnbroker's in the neigh bourhood, but no trace of it had been yet discovered, and the prisoners were remanded till to-morrow, till further search could be made, unless the parties chose to arrange it. Mary Palmer, a miserable-looking stay-lace seller, and beggar by trade, was brought up, after having been remanded yesterday, on the charge of having stolen a child from Mrs. Hull. It appeared she took the child away from its mother's door on Sunday, for the purpose of soliciting charity at the doors of some places of worship, and having denied the theft yesterday, she was remanded till to-day to know if she could bring forward any person to speak to her character. She produced a letter from her landlord, and after Mr. Alderman Garratt had read it, he said, it not having appeared that she had in tended to keep the child from its mother for any length of time, the mother not wishing for her punishment, and it seeming that the prisoner had suffered a great deal of distress, however repre hensible her conduct had been, he would discharge her. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.) CHARGE OF FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-- William Matthews, proprietor of an eating-house in Soho, and Thomas Mellows, a c onstable, were indict e d f or assaulting and falsely imp risoning William Matthews, a butcher. The complainant went to the shop of Matthews, the defendant, to take his supper, and because he did"not like what was cut for him, ob jected to it; on which the latter collared ail(' struck him several times, and ultimately sent him to St. Ann's watch-house, where Mellows was the night constable, and by whose order the prosecutor was locked up in the strong-room, and for a considerable time bail refused. Under the direction of the Chairman, the Jury acquitted Mellows, but found Matthews guilty, who was sentenced to pay a fine of 5/. to the King. LIES OF THE DAY.

On Saturday evening, as the Liverpool mail was taking its stand in Cornhill, waiting its turn to receive the mail bags, the horses became res tive, broke out of the line, and brought the splinter-bar in contract with one of the gas lamps. The consequence was that the splinter-bar was shattered in pieces, and one of the horses much injured : an aged fruit woman, whose stand was adjoining the lamp-post, had a most fortunate escape. Yesterday evening the same poor creature had another equally lucky escape, as a chaise, driving furiously up from the Poultry, came in contact with the same post without at all injuring the woman. Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, as two young men were bathing in the Regency Canal, at Hackney, they were informed by a steersman of a sand barge, heavily laden, that he had turned up the body of a man with the rudder of his barge, near Hackney-road-bridge. They imme diately proceeded to the spot, and, after search ing the bottom of the canal by walking and div ing for about a quarter of an hour, at last suc ceeded in finding him. He was quite dead, and was so far discoloured as to be of a deep blue colour. The landlord of the Rose and Crown, Hackney-road, refusing to receive the body, a plank was procured, and he was conveyed to the bone-house at H a ck ne y- c h urc h, t o awa i t t h e holding of the coroner's inquest. He is a young ma n about 17 or 18 years of age, was dressed in a blue coat and waistcoat, drab-coloured cloth trousers, white stockings, and quarter shoes.— He had a mark on his right c h ee k, an d was without either hat or neckerchief. The only ar ticle found on his person was a child's pocket handkerchief.

Lord Liverpool, since his removal to Coombe wood, has been slowly gaining strength, and it is perfectly true, as stated the other day in the Court Circular, that he was able to take a short walk in the garden, but we believe it is not ge nerally known• that his Lordship has never re covered the use of his speech since his first attack. The most he could articulate was a Yes," or a No." Very rarely he got out half a sentence, and when he did so, it seldom ex pressed what he wanted ; but of this he was per fectly conscious, and made signs with his hand to signify he had not expressed what he wished. In this state, on Saturday morning last, Mr. Sandford, of Wimbledon, the medical gentleman who for many years has attended his Lordship and family, left Lord Liverpool at Coombe wood. Mr. Sandford has, since his Lordship's removal from London, constantly slept at Coombe, leaving it at about nine in the morn ing, returning once or twice in the course of each day, and every evening at nine o'clock, for the night. Dr. Dreyer generally visited his Lord ship twice a week. At nine o'clock on Saturday, Lord Liverpool was, to all appearance, better than he had been since his removal. The Countess, or the Ho nourable Miss Jenkinson, was at all times with him, and the Honourable Mr. Jenkinson, his Lordship's half-brother, and heir to the title, was never absent for so long a space as an hour. About two o'clock on Saturday last, Lady Liverpool was reading to his Lordship, and feeling a little fatigued, being herself in a very bad state of health, rang the bell that Miss Jen kinson might be desired to come and relieve her. She had just replaced herself in her chair close to his Lordship, when he rose, and walked to a table about a yard from him. He immediately exclaimed, " Cramp, cramp." Lady Liverpool instantly assisted him back to his seat, when she discovered him to be in a strong convulsive fit. As the bell had been rung by her Ladyship, she had assistance in amoment. A man was on horse back in three minutes, and in three minutes and a half more the messenger was at Wimbledon, at Mr. Sandford's house, although the dis tance is full two miles. Mr. Sandford was fortunately at home, and his horse being quite :n readiness, he was at Coombe-wood within 20 minutes after his Lordship was attacked. Lord Liverpool continued in a succession of convul sive fits until five o'clock the same afternoon, when, by bleeding and the application of leeches, they subsided. An express had been early sent off to Dr. Dreyer in London, who arrived at Coombe-wood soon after five. At this time his Lordship, though in the most precarious state, lay quiet and tolerably composed, and continued so during the whole of Saturday night, during which he had repeated slumbers, and was at dif ferent times of the night in a composed sleep. He continued much in the same state during the whole of yesterday, and up to a late hour last evening. The opinion we understand of the medical men is, that his Lordship may, in a very limited degree, recover from this second attack ; but the hope of his ultimate recovery, which was entertained previously to Saturday last, is nearly, if not quite, given up. KING'S THEATRE. Voltaire's tragedy of " Merope," was last night performed at this Theatre, for the purpose of intro ducing Mademoiselle George, in the character of " Merope." The play does not afford such scope fo - e the display of tragic powers as " Semiramis : ' it but too frequently stands still while the dramatis personae are making long Londonderry speeches at each other; what few opportunities it did af ford, however, were ably made use of by Made moiselle George, who has proved herself no less a spirited and graceful declaimer, than a mistress of the most overwhelming passions. Her account of the death of the despot " Polyphonte," drew down unqualified applause. The tragedy was followed by the Second act of Racine's " Atbalie," in which a boy, named Tour, a fine, round, chubby-faced, little fellow, apparently about nine years of age, and a re lation, it was added, of Mademoiselle George, per formed. He declaimed with much emphasis, and was, if possible, more applauded than his distin guished relative. The house was full, but not crowded. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. That very singular and diabolical non-descript " Presumption, or the Fate of Frankenstein," taken from Shelley's vigorous romance of the same name, was last night revived at this theatre, on which oc casion Mr. 0. Smith, as the Monster, came sliding down upon the stage through a back-stairs window, for the first time this season. Mr. T. P. Cooke, we believe, was the original hobgoblin ; but it is almost impossible to institute any com p ar i son be tween his and Mr. 0. Smith' s p er f ormance , inas much o the prototype is t o b e f oun d ne ith er i n na ture nor art. As far as we can institute parallel, we should say that Mr. T. P. Cooke's grin was the ugliest, but Mr. O. Smith's the broadest; that Mr. T. P. Cooke made the bzst faces, but Mr. 0. Smith had the longest legs ; in p o i n t o f i n tellect b ot h, per haps,were equal; though it is but justice to Mr. T. P. Cooke to add, that where the absence of all in tellect was more •particularly to be expressed, he seemed quite at home, and shone with surpassing brilliancy. Mr. Bennett, as Frankenstein, gave too close an imitation of Macready ; he be came, as if purposely, abstracted in the course of his performance, where the part did not demand i t , which savoured something of affectation. By correcting this absurdity, he will, no doubt, render himself an available and welcome addition to one of onr larger theatres. The last scene (and by far the most impressive) in the piece, was the firing of the S hip, in which Frankenstein is embarked, by the monster; the stage was covered with waves, and the sinking and conflagration of the vessel executed with good effect. We know not what the actors to quit the might have suffered; but the audience seemed lite-, theatre ; dissolution, and ruse .squat rally diss o l ve d w ith heat.

The house, however, notwithstanding the weather, was well attended. GRAND ROWING MATCH. Yesterday the Grand Rowing Match, f or a p urse of sov ere i gn s, given by the Red H ouse Cl u b , was contended for by eight pair of scu ll s, three heats ; the winners of the first and second, to start for the third heat. A man, named Cobb, was t h e success ful candidate; but, considering t h e temperature o f the weather, he might, we think, h ave ensured a heat, without sweltering like a priz e ox, to get i t. All the candidates came in in a high state of perspiration.

The Princess SOPHIA. visited the Duchess of GLOUCESTER at Gloucester-house, Park-lane, yesterday morning, to take leave of her Royal sister previous to her leaving town for the season. At three o'clock in the after noon the Royal Duchess left Gloucester-house in her car riage and four for her seat in Bagshot Park. Prince POLIGNAC, the French Ambassador, accompanied by his principal Secretary, was engaged for a considerable time yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office transacting business with Viscount DUDLEY. The Spa nish Minister also transacted business yesterday at the Office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord HOLLAND gave a grand dinner on Sun lay at Holland-house, Kensington, to Mr. CANNING, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, Lord JoHN RUSSELL, and a se lect party. Viscount PALMERSTON will hold his first levee en Thursday at the Horse-Guards as Secretary at War. THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—The Noble Earl, whose health had been in a very satisfactory state for some time past, has experienced another serious attack of iilness.—Since his Lordship had arrived at Coombe-wood his strength had greatly increased. He was in the habit of taking frequent airings in the neighbourhood in his car t iage, and was also allowed to walk in the pleasure-grOunds in the front of the mansion. Dr. DRXVER, who had been in the constant practice of visiting his Noble Patient two or three times a week, left his Lordship on Saturday morning about 11 o'clock, when the Noble Earl was in his usual state of health. About half-past one o'clock, while the Noble Earl was sitting in his library, with the Countess of LxvsarooL, he was seized with cramp in his hands, accompanied by con vulsions. The Countess immediately gave the alarm, and two expresses were sent off, one for Mr. SANDFORD, his Lordship's apothecary, who resides at Wimbledon, and the other for D. DREYER, who had come to town. Mr. SANDFORD arrived in about a quarter of an hour's time at his Lordship s residence, and instantly bled his Lordship, and took about fourteen ounces of blood from him. Dr. DREYER, on his arrival, bled his Lordship a socond time, and afterwards directed Mr. MArtxsoN, the KING'S supper, who had arrived from London, to cup his Lord ship : near sixty ounces of blood were thus taken from the Noble Earl in the course of Saturday. About half-past five o'clock the alarming symptoms were completely reduced. The Bulletin issued by Dr. DREYER yesterday was as favourable as could be expected, viz..— " COOMBE WOOD, JULY 9.—Lord Lrvxaeoor. has had a quiet night, with some refreshing sleep, and without any return of the spasmodic affection. (Signed) " T. D." Mr. CANNING left his residence in Down ing -street about nine o'clock yesterday morning for Coombe Wood, from whence Mr. CANNING proceeded to the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, to report to the KING the state of the Noble Earl. Mr. CANNING did not return to town till past seven o'clock yesterday evening. HANO %TER, JUNE 29.—The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE go next Monday to Pyrmont.

We may, however, be expected to state, that the enamoured adventurer and the fair fugitive were neither of them natives of the city, though both, we believe, were above the middle class of society. The facts, as detailed to us, were briefly these : The lover had heard at his far-distant home, that the object of his most tender affections had been sent to York, with a view of taking up there a LONG residence. He hastened to Old Ebor, and having *engaged lodgings there for a short time, ingeniously contrived to commence a secret cor respondence with the lady, which ultimately ended in an elopement. The star of the morning beamed brightly upon the turrets of the mansion in which the fair one resided, and as the clock struck two, the hero of our story stepped out of a post-chaise, near the outer wall of the residence : he threw a scaling-ladder over it, and the lady, faithful as they always are to their engagements, with trembling steps ascended. All was silent—all was well, till, in her descent, her fears for safety overpowered her judgment, and she uttered a dreadful shriek, which alarmed the house, and might have proved fatal to the enterprise. It was the mo ment of danger—it was the season for determination. Her lover seized her in his arms ; placed her in the carriag e , and, stepping in after her, immediately dosed the door, and they were soon beyond the reach of pursuit. There we shall leave them, for though it is supposed that they are on the Continent, no tidings have since been heard of the loving fugitlyesm. York Herald. TWELFTH JULY. (From the P:.? 7. 7 Patriot.) It is within these few clays officially announced by an organ of the party, that " the gallant Orangemen will celebrate the ensuing 12th July in true glorious memory style !" This leader of the party further adds that though " he has ever deprecated these processions," yet that " under present circumstances, with Mr. Can ning Prime Minister," (aye, there's the rub), he leaves such minor considerations to their (the Orangemen's) own discretion, but that when cver they do walk in procession, which they are determined to do, they are, on no account, for sooth, to offend a Roman Catholic ! The per son who writes this, and whom we forbear to name, from respect to his family, this very per son was one who, during the administration of Lord Liverpool, declaimed against these very processions, which he now thus openly foments, because Mr. Canning is Prime Minister ! But let us not ascribe to the working of an individual, what is only part of a deep-laid and extensive plot, which the individual has divulged. The object of the leaders of the faction, in in stigating Orange processions on the 12th July is obvious—" we have failed in all the efforts to displace a liberal and substitute a coercive admi itistration during the Sessions—we have frustrated the Corn Bill; it is true, but our success rendered ourselves more odious, and the Minister more popular—our blandishments to induce the Catho lics at one period to press their question, and our insults at another, in order to provoke them, have equally failed, and we have concluded a Parliamentary campaign, in which we thought to dictate to the Throne and trample upon the people, in discomfiture and disgrace.. But something may be done in the recess—the 12th of July approaches ; we can instigate the blind and ignorant Orangemen to rise on that day. They may provoke reaction—riot may take place blood may be shed, and the Canning admi nistration be placed in the predicament of either permitting violation of the law, when we would call them weak, or of punishing it— when we would call them papistical." This is the plain intention, on the very face of the projected processions, divulged, officially divulged, by one of the least artful, and therefore most un guarded of the desperate party of the malcon tents. For this, the same acts which were morally wrong when Lord Liverpool was Prime Minister, are now morally right, because Mr. Canning is Prime Minister !—This, is called loyalty !—this religion ! !--this upholding our glorious Constitution in Church and State ! ! ! ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—We have received communications from Armagh, Newtonlimavady, and other quarters, stating that preparations are already in progress for those mischievous displays of party spirit, Orange precessions, on the twelfth. of July next.—Northern Whig. A FEW REQUISITES FOR A_ NEWSPAPER EDITOR.—Most people are tof opinion that it is a very easy matter to conduct a daily morning paper. We thought so ourselves, till experience taught us how egregiously we were in error. An Editor of a daily paper should be acquainted with types and poetry, and business and philoso phy ; he should be conversant with the arts and sciences ; he should know every body, and be familiar with all sublunary things ; he should have the wisdom of Solon, and the honesty of Aristides, the courage of Achilles, and the power of Ajax ; he should be correct and zealous, and untiring and vigilant ; and as equably tempered as, Socrates, and as patient as Job. He should be found Lt his post, at the still hour of midnight, and at the earliest dawn of morning ; when be sleeps, he should sleep with one eye unclosed, and when awake he should be indeed awake.— New York Courier. STAG-HUNT AT KILLARNEL—The mor ning was a little unfavourable, but the day cleared up just at the moment the assembled multitude waited to see the stag descend from the moun tains—a view with which all were speedily gra tified, the hounds dashing down after Aim in full speed, followed by numerous bands of men employed to force him from his retreat ; he then ran, or rather flew, to Muckrus, and returning, took to the water, when, after swimming for about 20 minutes, he was seized upon by a boat's crew, and brought asnore, to the delight of .housands who crowded around him. He was then brought down to the lower lake, and, after 60 or 70 boats were regularly arranged, thrown into the water, where he swam for some time, and then took to his native mountains in fine style, amid the cheers of the multitude. The different parties then rowed for the island of In nisfallen, where they dined, sung, and danced to a late hour, when they all returned to Killar ney highly delighted with the day's sport.— During the race, and about half a mile from the course, at a place called Aghadoe, a meeting took place between Henry Morrogh, of Cork, and Francis Bland, of this town—the former ac companied by Owen O'Sullivan, and the latter by Hyde, both of Kerry, where, after an exchange of shots, the friends interfered, and the parties shook hands and thus the affair happily terminated. The cause of quarrel was some misunderstanding on the parties returning from the stag-hunt.—lrish7nan. by t his day friends,s a s g e ser vice, An affecting, and, at the same time, a ludi crous circumstance, was exhibited a few days since. A seaman who had been absent from hi s cou ntry fora supposed manyeatto bne aboutde to years ad on el t foreign vicv eandlas unexpectedly ear ne to town and his pockets pretty well filled with the fruits of his hard-earned services. Immediately on his arrival he hastened to the spot where he had left his wife and child ; but she had left her place of residence some years back, and was gone, nobody knew where. Still, however, he was determin:4 to find her if alive, and wandered w hither I , ,is fancy directed, in hopes of finding her, when h e chanced to pass the h ea d o f King-street, he heard a woman crying " fine calls/ . hades ; th e r cognised soundarr t e h st e ed vo h ic is e of his attention,fome hre helpmate.tlogut he For e a moment be doubted his senses, scarcely be lieving his wife could have experienced su c h a re , verse of fortune; but on coming near er , h is d oubts former removed.
