LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH-GUILDHALL. BEAUMONT V. COOPER. This was an action, brought by a working cabinet maker, against the defendant, who is proprietor cd', a large cabinet warehouse in Bishopsgate-street. In stating the case, the ATTORNEY -GENERAL Ob-; served, that there were many secrets which it wotdd b e highly improper for professional men to 'disclose, whilst others were of a nature which it was well to make known to the public. Of the latter cha racter were what were called secrets of. trade ; it was not, perhaps, generally known that those who kept large furniture warehouses did not always ma nufacture the furniture themselves. The fact was, that the furniture was supplied by the working ca binet manufacturer, whilst the proprietor of the show-room had an enormous profit on the sale. For every hundred pounds' worth of mahogany worked up by the plaintiff, the defendant allowed him 101. per cent., and retained 331. per cent. for his own trouble ; so that for every 1001. worth of mahogany the public paid 144/. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding to state the ease, when he was in terrupted b y M r. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, who proposed an arbitration, which was ultimately agreed to. Several other cases were also disposed of by re ference, and all the causes on the list having been gone through before twelve o'clock, journed. the Court ad- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. LIBEL. ilikawoon v. GREEN . This w as an action of libel, brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover compensation in damages, fora false and malicious libel, published of and concerning him by the defendant. The defendant in the first instance, pleaded the general issue of not guilty ; and secondly, pleaded a justification of all the matters and things con tained M the all ege d libel. Mr. Sergeant TADDY stated the case. The plaintiff was the son of a gentleman who had for many years com manded a merc,hant vessel, and the defendant was a Lieu tenant in the Royal Navy. The plaintiff's father having determined to bring his son up to the profession in which he had spent so many years of his own life, apprenticed him at a v ery ear ly a ge; . he had subsequently passed through the regular gradations of 3d, 2d, and Ist mate, and in the last year was appointed to the command of a vessel, em ployed in the transport service, by the owner Mr. Moates. The vessel was ordered to proceed to Cork, for the pur. pose 'of conveying troops to Jamaica. The defendant, Lieut. Green was, unfortunately for the plaintiff, appointed to embark in the vessel as transport agent, it being usual on inich occasions that a naval officer should be on board, to superintend the arrangements for giving proper accommo dation to the troops. From the moment the defendant placed his foot on board of the Jupiter, he began to interfere in the command, and to give instructions to the master in all, even the most' minute details ; it was therefore but reasonable that he should participate in the responsibility. The Jupiter arrived at Port Royal, in Jamaica, and en the 18th February last the plaintiff re ceived ord ers to procee d t o M on t ego B a y, an d th ence L the Leeward Passage to England. There are, as rs iseeeral:y known, two passages, one on each side of Cuba. On passing the west end of that Island, the most difficult navigation that the master of a vessel ; 48 to encounter... The Gulf abounds in shoals, and : t ° ll l the variation in the currents, it is almost impossible Fthe most experienced seaman to calculate with safety on e hest course which he ought to steer. On the 25th of h ebr nary ths vssel made Cape Antono, and within a ii cl ur the str i uck e on the Colorados, where she continued forn this and a half. The defendant had been on deck before n lig s aceident occurred, and if he perceived any want of skill Judgment on the part of the plaintiff, it was his f b lin( len duty to give all the assistance in his power. :' vessel floated off the reef without g suf tirN any material damage. On the 28th of February vessel came in sight of a light, which had lately erected on the shore of the Tortugas. This „. i ghtehous e had not been marked in any of the charts, nothing could equal the perplexity in which it 4141 ved both the plaintiff and the defendant—they We re utterly ignorant of their situation. Lieutenant G reen thought that they were near the Bahama Bank, "nilst the plaintiff's conjecture, though not quite so erro liel3us, was still not - exactly correct. The Learned Ser geant,''after entering into a variety of details, which, thez 'ugh very interesting to the naval reader, would be C`jeely intelligible to the public, proceeded to read the wet which was as follows. This letter purported to be 411 a ccount of the two accidents, and was addressed to the irman and Committee at Lloyd's. Jupiter Transport, No 97.—Portsmouth, Gentlemen, 19th May, 1827. . 4 l beg leave to represent to ou the conduct of Robert a rwood, Master of the transport ship Jupiter, on her '°Yage from Jamaica to England. The Jupiter sailed from Port Royal, February 10th, and " the 25th, at 6. SO., 6 A.M., she ran on shore on the Colarado, off the west end of Cuba, where she remained ° Pe hour and a half. I beg leave to state, that as Cape m aster was seen only one h our b e f ore s h e struc k , t h e a,l, , ster insi s t e d on s t eer i ng nor th, or nor th by wes t, had hauled the ship up to north-east, which, by reference to the charts' you will perceive was steering a course directly for the siloals. I beg also to state, that there were no lead liuei ready in the chains, nor any orders given for sounding. On the 28th February, from the Master's ignorance of th e navigation of th e W es t I n di e s, an d parti c ularly the Cult d o f Florid a , the ship was run ashore upon a reef of coral erable rocks ni ?ff th e Dry Tortugas, where she sustained con half an hoePry' and n beat very violently on the rocks for ur, wh e ... ti into deep water, she fl oa t e d off with the rise of the As the Master on, he stating at the rent of the course the ship was Batra Ho n d a , or Mt ti ines that it was Cape Florida, certain where the shif, Ways, eve stood into anchor, to as in ; to th.lac° fathoms, to let go th e anaso,',2 advi se d hi m w h en i n t en considering it a very proper depth to bring up the ship would ride better in he objected, observing that the ship struck. seven fathoms--shortly after The everts day, the Master, instead of ; ; using y ertion in getti ng the ship giving orders and rous situation she was then in, beinn. out of the dange or engaging a pilot, as five pilot boats rwroerunded by reefs, tis,—h e had the presumption to leave th:stiFin close to light, and go on shore, and there rem a i n for six floats. at day six hours I hired a pilot to take the ship to the port of H., • • where we arrived on the 3d of March. When uff r ab' vanu a h we fell in with his Majesty's ship, scylla, Calia- Hobson, who took the Jupiter immediately unde r co y P t • with directions to proceed to Nassau, New Providence° ,7,', ascertain more fully the injury she had sustained at the port on the 11th of March. Thus, Gentlemen, I consider it my duty to inform yo u what has occurred, and also that I consider the Master totally incompetent to take the charge of a ship, from his great want of exPerienee—this being the first ship he ever commanded. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedien servant, GEORGE GREEN, Lieutenant RN., and Agent for Transports, One part of this letter was literally true, namely ' - that there were no lead lines in the chains ; but it would be satisfactorily shown, that the lines were merely removed to the cabin, which was on deck, where they were placing the within reach ; and the plaintiff's motive for the lines in the cabi n was, th at the soldiers were in the habit of using them for hanging up their clothes, and other purposes, whilst they were allowed to remain in the more exposed situation. The Learned Sergeant then com tnented in strong terms on the nature and character of the libel ; it was addressed to the Committee at Lloyd's, and tid e „ t h e J ur y, by their verdict, restored the plaintiff to his f or m e r reputation, it would operate as a bar to his fu tttre employment as a Master in the merchant service. No under-writer would now insure a vessel if he knew that l‘lr. Harwood was to command her ; and all this mischief I vas to be attributed to an ill feeling which subsisted in the 'Mind of Mr. Green towards the plaintiff. There had been various bickering between them during • the voyage; hut surely it would have been the part of an honourable mind, I ;ud still more that of a naval officer, to forget all this when he placed his foot on shore; when in almost every instance ill alignity gave way to kindly feelings. 'qr. Bennett, Secretary to Lloyd's, was then called, and Produced the letter containing the alleged libel. A notice had den e n Posttd up in the p ublic Reading-room, at Lloyd's; t hat such a letter had been rece ived, and mi g ht be seen by t he parties interested. kr. Sergeant WILDE, for thedefendant—Has it been the setice for officers of the navy to mak e communications to Lloyd's, after the loss of vessels? Alr. Sergeant TADDY objected to this question. Me. Sergeant WILDE said, .that the fact of the letter vein sent to persons interested in the subject-matter of it, ' show the quo animo with which the ealluti3uOti9D was made. , The case would he different if it were a gra tuitous communication made to uninterested parties. The Lord Chief Justice BEST had the greatest possihle respect for the Committee of Lloyd's, as most useful servants to the public, but was still of opinion that officers of the navy had no right to communicate with that CoM mittee. If officers' in the navy were employed by the Admiralty, they were bound to communicate with the Admiralty, if by the Navy Board, With the Navy Board, and his Lordship was sure that in either case the communi cations would be forwarded to Lloyd'ii if likely to interest the Commercial public. They would then come before the public in the most useful shape. ➢lr. Serjeant WILDE said that this question was looked on with,great interest at the Adiniralty, and he believed that communications were made with the knowledge of the Lord High Admiral. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the practice furnished no defence, though it might go in mitigation of damages. ' - - Mr. Sergeant TADDY submitted that even in that shape evidence could not be received, as evidence could not he given of former libels to mitigate the damages in this ease. • - —" - - - After a long discussion, Lord Chief Justice BEST ex pressed himself of the same opinion with Mr. Sergeant Taddy, namely, that the evidence of the practice of naval officers could not be received in any shape. If the com munication were privileged the writer need not prove its truth, but the plaintiff was bound to show in the first instance, that the writer had abused his pri vilege by writing false and malicious accusations. I am of opinion, said his Lordship, that this communication is not privileged, and as Lieutenant Green has improperly addressed himself to a body with which he has no connec tion, his letter must stand in the same condition with other libels. Evidence cannot be offered of the practice of naval officers, in mitigation of damages, for that would be nothing less than regulating by the fact that others had suffered from similar communications. Several gentlemen who had commanded vessels in which the plaintiff served were then called, for the purpose of proving his skill and competency. They gave him a high character, and deposed that the navigation in the Gulf of Florida was most dangerous, and from the variation in the currents and other causes, it was impossible to calcu late with precision the course which a vessel ought •to steer. —The plaintiff's brother and a seaman who were both on board of the Jupiter, proved that Lieute nant Green had interfered in the - navigation, and was actually on deck at the time the accident occurred. The former witness said that Lieutenant Green had even caused one of the accidents, by c ountermanding orders which the plaintiff had given. The seaman said that he was in the very act of heaving the lead when the vessel struck.— It was also proved that when the plaintiff went ashore at the time alluded to in the libel, it was for the purpose of procuring the assistance of "wreckers," (a description of pilots, specially appointed to navigate vessels in the Gulf of Florida). The witnesses were cross-examined at great length by Mr. Sergeant WILDE, with a view of showing that the plaintiff ought to have steered farther from Cuba than he had done. A person from the Navy Board produced the written in structions of the defendant, from which it appeared that he had full authority to hire a pilot, or to procure any other assistance which he deemed necessary for the navigation of the vessel. Mr. Sergeant WILDE then addressed the Jury in an animated speech, and expressed his conviction that he would be able to prove every part of the libel. At the conclusion of the Learned Sergeant's speech, thel Jury were allowed to retire. On their return, the severe witnesses were then called for the defence, and the casa had not .concluded when our paper went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL Mr. Alderman ATKINS took his seat at half-past twelve, and made a grievous complaint against a report that ap peared in a morning paper respecting what had passed at the Office yesterday concerning men who had drunken wives. in the report alluded to he was made to appear to have recommended men blessed with such a let, to pass their wives to the parish : this was an entire mistake, as he never dreamt of such a thing, nor could husbands so deal with their wives—they took them for better and worse, and naust keep them as such. ILLEGAL INTZRFERENCE OF OFFICERS. - William Johnson was placed at the bar, under a charge of having gone into a public-house, kept by James Price, and calling for a quart of porter and a quartern of gin ; and referring the landlord to his master for • payment without the master's authority. Mr. Alderman ATKINS asked why the prisoner was taken into custody. Mr. Price said, that before the prisoner called for the drink, he referred him to his master for payment, whom he knew, but who afterwards refused to pay the money, and the prisoner had none to pay with himself. The MAGISTRATE inquired of the officer by whose au thority he took the prisoner into custody. The officer took bins into custody at the request of Mr. Price. The MAGISTRATE discharged the prisoner, and hoped sincerely he would prosecute the officer for falsely impri soning him. An officer (said the Worthy Alderman) has no right to take into custody any of his Majesty's sub jeets, without actually seeing him commit some serious violence, and he (the Magistrate) would himself take care that some of the officers who were guilty of such illegal conduct, should be prosecuted at the expence of the City. As to Mr. Price's conduct, it was most reprehensible. He kept a tippling house, and not being able to get paid he thought proper to come here and occupy the time of the public; ;nstead of meeting with any protection here, l►e might thank his stare that the Magistrate did not fine him in 51. The Duke of CLARENCE came to town yesterday morning, from his seat in Bushy Park. His Royal Highness left the Admiralty about eleven o'clock, attended by Sir GEORGE CocknuaN and Colonel Fax- CLARYNCE-and proceeded to Deptford, to inspect the Heck:, on her returu from the Northern Expedition, where the Royal Duke remained near two hours, and afterwards returned to the Admiralty. THE PRINCESS AUGUSTA.—Considerable interest continues to be excited from the illness of her Royal Highness the Princess -AUGUSTA. The enquiries at the Palace this morning were exceedingly numerous, none of the Royal Family visited her Royal Highness this morning, but sent their servants to make the necessary enquiries after the state of her Royal Highness's health, and the answer was, that her Royal Highness had passed a . very favourable night, and was much better than yesterday.

TO , LORD W. BENTINCK. Yesterday evening a sumptuous dinner was given by the East India Company to Lord Vim. Bentinek, previous to his 'departure for India, to take upon himself the highly important office of Governor-General of India, to which situation his Lordship was appointed a short time since. The dinner was to have been given some weehs ago, but the decease of Mr. Canning prevented such intention from being carried into execution. The dinner Olen ye:s terday, at the Old London Tavern, was composed of every delicacy in season, and was served up in a style vying with Eastern magnificence. The preparations for this enter tainment surpaseed, we understand, all that had hitherto .been witnessed in England. It was ordered for 160 per sons, at the enormous sum of twelve guineas and a half a head, exclusive of wines, and the East India Company, not satisfied with the splendid service of plate belonging to the London Tavern, sent its own, which is most abundant and Magnificent. It was fully expected that his Royal High flees the Duke of Clarence would have honoured the ban quc•t with his presence; but at a late hour his Royal High: ness had not arrived. Preparations were made to receive several of the Cabinet' Ministers, but when dinner was served up, the only persona connected with Government present, were Mr. Tierney and Mr. S. Rice, Lord Bexley, &c. Lord Chief Justice Best was present; as well as Lord Tenterden, Lord .1. Bentinck, &e. The Hon. Hugh Lind say took the' Chair shortly before eight o'clock, and the excellence of the dinner gave general satisfaction. The cloth having been remoVed, grace was sung by the Profes sional Gentlemen engaged for the occasion, and the fol lowing toasts were Own :—" The King," four times four, with acclamation. " The Lord High Admiral," the Chairman eologizing . his Royal HighneSS the Duke of Clarence for the solicitude expressed, by him for ameliorat ing the' condition of the East India Company's Navy. " The rest of the Royal Family ;" " The Army and Navy," &c. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of " Lord W. C. Bentinck," who had undertaken the im portant task of superintending the affairs of a large portion of British India. His Lordship's talents were admitted by all who knew him, and he had every reason to hope that his Lordship would return to this country, full of honour, after having rendered his services in promoting the welfare of the population he had to preside over, and of adding to the power and influence of the Government at home. He should conclude by drinking " Success to the Government of Lord Win. C. Bentinck in India."—(Great cheering.) Lord WILLIAM BENTINaK rose and returned thanks in the warmest manner. To many this would have been a happy day, and would have afforded the highest gratifica tion to the individual who had the good fortune to meet so many of his friends on such an occasion ; but his feel ings were those of sorrow. That great Statesman, Mr. Canning, to whom he owed every thing, had, since his promotion, been taken away by death. To the late Pre mier he (Lord W. Bentinck) was indebted for all the en joyments he now possessed, and it was for this reason that he did not on the present occasion feel that happiness which he would have experienced had Mr. Canning been spared to hie country. The late Premier possessed a heart full of friendship, and his splendid talents would be borne in remembrance by him through life. With respect to the important post he had that day been sworn into, he felt all the responsibility and weight of the duties which must necessarily be attached to such an high office. His exertions, however, should not be wanting to fulfil the 'duties he had engaged to perform in a manner which be hoked would give satisfaction to the Government at home. This he might be permitted to say, that he entered upon the duties of the situation with a determination to do his duty ; and he trusted that, at the close of his authority, he should receive the thanks of the East India Company. He would do all in his power to earn the confidence of the Company. He concluded amidst cheers. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of "Lord Goderich, and the rest of his:Majesty's Ministers," In proposing this toast, he (the Chairman) thought it needless to say any thing in praise of the Members of the present Administration. They were well known to be men of great and splendid talents, and devoted to the good of their country.—(Loud Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the toast, which was received with continued cheering. . . . Lord - BEXLEY returned thanks. He was convinced the members of the Administration would do all in their power to earn the confidence of the people. He eulogised the talents of Lord W. Bentinck, and expressed his conviction that his Lordship would use his known talents, to promote the welfare of the East India Company. He propOsed the health of the Chairman.—(Cheers.) " The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and was happy tlntt his conduct gave satisfaction to his colleagues. Several other toasts were drunk, and the company did not separate till a late hour. Several glees and songs were sung in the course of the evening. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS.—(AI ST. JA s. L.s' Lowland Mead.

THE STAGE, (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) _The Haymarket Theatre closed on Monday. night for the season, and considering that the proprietors have not had the powerful attraction of LisroN,—and his attraction has ever proved so to their Treasury, the four months have ,been tolerably productive. We understand that several Articles, as they are techni cally termed, expired with the season ;—some have been renewed, and some will make room for other performers for the ensuing campaign, which will commence in June next. Th e partizans of KEAN, we think, go a little out of their way to condemn and, indeed, to crush the improvement of the. son. Instances have been known (and in the writer's recollection) of many first appearances which have afforded less promise than that of the young gentleman alluded to, and that time,: aided by practice and perseverance, has ripened study into first-rate ability. It would be unfair, just as the father is " breaking new ground" to enter into the motives which induced the son to reject the liberal offer of Mr. CALCRAFT (the presen tation of a cadetship), and, perhaps, the public, Strictly speaking, have nothing to do with them ; yet it is a gratifying circumstance to those who wish success may attend every laudable effort, to know that they do honour to the youth's feelings. PRICE has proved himself to be a judicious caterer for the public, having, notwithstanding, as we have been informed, been saddled with many heavy and almost superfluous salaries last season, as a sine qua non apPendage to the property, cleared better than four thousand pounds! He is also the best friend the profession ever had 'id the shape of Manager, commencing the season with the determination of performing every evening, instead of abiding by the usual practice, playing every other night, at least for the first five weeks. This arrangement has given the actor the full, instead of the half salary. ELLISTON, and it gives us pleasure while we re cord it, is doing wonders at the Surrey. Little BURKE seems as much talked of as he anticipated, in one of the many characters he represents in the March of Intellect, &c., he should be, and draws great houses; in addition, the operatic company 4 strong, anti the performances altogether are highly creditable to the good arrangement and acknowledged judg ment of our old and deserving friend ROBERT WILLIAM. A 'ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER !—A Manager, who has recently taken the principal Theatre in the sister Kingdom, and who is remarkable for every thing but his Vid . ence; a few days ago wrote to the parent of a great little actor, on the other side of our water, wishing to engage him for . a limited number of nights, and addressed his letter " Dr. B —'e, father of the Boy, &c." Mr. 8., whom we .understand had pro fessionally studied surgery, of course was not entitled to the M. D., zind though honorary distinction is highly gratifying to those who merit it, when it is bestowed as in this 'case it creates a feeling diame trically opposite, and from that circumstance and the rude style of application from the writer, Mr. 8., replied " that he certainly had the honour of being Father of the Boy, and many other Boys, without the assistance of any matt, Bre.," and addressed the Letter to " Mr. B---nn, husband of Mrs. B—nn ! ! BUNN, who was ELLISTON'S acting Manager the last season but two he held Drury-lane Theatre, has taken of HARRY HARRIS the Dublin concerr.—Poor ABBOT tried it, and soon reduced his " Noble to Ninepenee." s The state of Ireland we fear is ill suited to reward at this time any adventurer in the histrionic art. DAVIDGE, the spirited arid indefatigable manager of the Ceburg Theatre, has engaged Mr. MELROSE and Mr. FYNE, late of the Haymarket Theatre, and Miss FORDE, who recently made so successful a debut on the Drury-lane boards. They are shortly to appear in the most popular Operas. We under stand these favorites will commence their engage-, meats on Monday next, in Burgoyne's Opera of the " Lord of the Manor," the cast of which promises to be a great treat. DAVIDGE will sustain the cha racter of Sir John Contrast; Moll Flaggon will be performed by that child of furs SLOMAN ; and Young Contrast could not have been committed to better hands than those of LEWIS. In addition to these novelties, Young SMITH, the American Roscius ' of whom report speaks volumes, will shortly make his appearance. Comm, who made so successful an introduction to a London public at Vauxhall last summer, has fitted up a piece of ground behind the building in Blackfriars-road, which formerly contained the Mu seum arranged by Sir ASHTON LEVER, was after wards occupied by the Surrey Institution, and is at this time called The Rotunda. The plan of the pro prietor is to give entertainments similar to those pro duced at ASTLEY'S, and the accounts we have heard of Mr. C.'s provincial fame afford us good reason to believe that such a species of arrangement, under his able management, cannot but prove highly deserving the encouragement of that populous and wealthy neighbourhood. BLANCHARD, the son of our old favourite of that name, and who gave rapid circulation to the song of " A flaxen-headed Plough-boy," &c., some five and-thirty years ago, has changed his quarters, and is engaged by the. Covent-garden Proprietors for the Christmas Pantomime. PRICE offered this excel lent pantomimic actor rather liberal terms, but limit ed the engagement during the run of the pantomime, which having been communicated to FARLEY, indu ced him immediately to op en a t rea ty, an d the con sequence was an engagement with the best Panta loon on die stage was closed for three years. It is really sickening to witness the feelings of actors and hear their almost comtnon observation when speaking of each other : envy too often ac companies their remarks, and the all-inspiring word talent is continually misapplied by those whose luck have not been equal to their brethren, and who are doomed to seek asylums in provincial barns. It is a rare case when a member of the sock and buskin so situated allows a London favourite the claim of being so : " such a one has no talent, &c.!" we would ask these jealous parts of the community by what criterion actors are to be judged ? Certainly, whoever pleases most, so situated, has most talent!!! All else is " leather and pruneila." CHARLES KEMBLE pleased the Parisian audience so greatly during his sojourn in Paris, that we un derstand he is about applying to the proper powers for a grant to take another English Company over. How far he will succeed is very doubtful, as the present Proprietor of the Company now performing there, had some strong claims on the French Go vernment, which have been met by the boon he so licited o f p erm i ss i on to open an English_and which h as b een granted for three years. Theatre, ts; SERIOUS ACClDENT. — Y esterda y morning, animal ton arriving i 1 as an o ld gent l eman , named Batt, and a young lady, named S av ill, res iding in the vicinity of Chelmsford, were coming , gig, drawn by a spirited horse , the in th e Mil e E n d- roa d, took fright, and set off at full s p ee d. o pposite to the Fountain public - house, The old gentleman, being extremely nervous, soon lost all power over the horse ; lie dropp ed the reins and a ppeared perfectly unc onscious of his and hi s com p a n i on's impend ing danger. The animal, finding himself thus freed from all restraint, continued its speed, and in a few minutes Mr. Batt was thrown out of the vehicle, while the lady, with great fortitude, . kept her seat, continuing to procoed at the most frightful rate. Several attempts were made to impede the horse's progr ess , b u t unfortu nately without effect, and on arriving opposite to the Coach an d Horses public - house , the gig came in contact with a n em pty waggon,when the concuss i on was so great as to eject the lady into the centre of the road, from which she was taken up in a state of insensibility, and to all appearance lifeless. On being removed into the Coach and Horses, however, life was found not t o b e qu it e extinct. She was instantly put to bed, and Mr. S e lf, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, sent for, and, o n exam i n i ng h er , f oun d h er right arm broken, the left wrist di s l oca t e d, an d th e head severely contused, but not fractured. Mr. Self at once bled her, and administered the necessary remedies, notwith standing which considerable fears are entertained of her recovery as a concussion of the brain is apprehended. The old gentleman escaped comparatively uninjured, having received only a slight dislocation of one of his s houlders. The gig was shattered to pieces, b u t t h e h orse , which was stopped 4 f e w minutes after the accid ent , rece i v ed uo injury. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

We insert an article from the Oriental Spec tator, entitled a " Letter from Smyrna" of the 25th of August. Whether written, or only transcribed at Smyrna, or sent from sonic high quarter to the Oriental Spectator, to he made public through its columns, the letter is a curious one ; nor do we entirely disagree with those who pretend to discover in it something not altogether downright. In speaking of thse treaty, hearing date the 6th of July, it would have been natural, one might imagine, for an honest 'commentator to take the whole of its contents and incidents, as a clue to the intentions of the. parties who signed it : but this is quite opposite to the present pro ceeding, which goes to establish as the only fair reading of the treaty, that its " predominant pur pose, and real object," was the protection of commerce. The letter, or article, then expatiates at much length on the nature of the risks to which commerce was exposed, all arising from the extent and activity of the piracy carried on under the Greek flag, and predicts that the com merce of the Levant will be much cheered by the assurance held out under this treaty, that 44 one of the first and most serious occupations of the forces destined for the pacification of Greece, will be the extirpation of piracy." Now we must beg leave to remark, that if the only or chief desideratum of the Allies had been to put dawn piracy, with no further object, a formal treaty was absolutely superfluous. The English squadrons, and French squadrons, in the Levant, had, years ago, received positive orders to pursue and punish pirates wherever they could find them ; and this, by virtue of the separate rights of sovereignty appertaining to these great Powers, and under the sanction of the unzversal:law, of nations navigating th e sea s. If the squadrons thus instructed according to law were found to be of force insufficient for the purpose, their respec tive Governments could, without resorting to the troublesome and ' embarrassing machinery of a treaty, have sent, them the requisite re inforcements. Again, if the " pacification "hadbeeinnstorifirnie'on t at further in be import ance to the allied ,G o v e rn men t s th an a s it m of ig G ht ree ls c e e rendered sup pression of piracy, it is obviOus that the shortest and easiest way of pacifying Greece would have been, instead of offering to mediate between her and Turkey, a direct coalition. with Turkey for the re-subjugation of Greece. It is true that the suppression of piracy has been one serious object 'with the Allied Powers ; likewise that the pacification of Greece, ha: been a be ilea very anxiously desired ; but it is not true that the pacification of . Greece, on any terms, was their wish, nor that it was so on views which regarded commerce exclusively. Had either of the suppositions contained in the article been well founded, France and England might not only have acted, each with. their separate means for such a purpose, but .conjointly they _need not have found themselves interested in procuring the accession olitussia to their enterprise. No ; the prompter, or employer of the Sinyma corres pondent, is neither deceived hiMself as to the policy of the Allied Powers, nor can lie succeed in passing such silly delusions upon the minds of others. The allies wish to put down piracy —they wish to stop the effusion of blood—they are eager to check the devastations and miseries to which the inhabitants of the Mores, of Attica, and of some of the Islands, have been subjected ; but their policy is to attain these ends, by esta blishing the independence of the Greek nation upon Turkey ; that is the expedient through which they have chosen to effectuate the security. of commerce, the tranquillity of the Levant, and the ultimate: good of its inhabitants, So long as the Greeks shall continue to be trampled on by the infidels; to be kicked and crushed into the cultivation of fraud, as their natural screen from contemptuous and brutal violence ; they never can respect the rights or property of others, because they will have no recognised rights or possessions of their own. To leave men in a condition of abject slavery, is to rivet upon them the collateral chains of gross corruption and de pravity. The bondsman can incur no obligation —can act upon no moral principle,—can keep no plighted faith,—that is, he never can be honest. We find that great pains arc taken in the letter, to represent the . whole population of Greece as engaged in the pursuits of piracy, and the afflu ent individuals of the nation as having enriched themselves by it alone. If the a intent of such a calumny be to prove.the people unworthy of pro tection or redemption, and therefore fit subjects to be abandoned everlastingly to the Turks, the writer, whether a resident of Smyrna or. Vienna, will we hope be disappointed of his lircject.— Times. . We are glad to see the commencement of a better spirit in the Surrey Magistracy, with re spect to the amusements of the people. Yes terday was licensing day, and our readers are aware that the licensing of Vauxhall Gardens has always experienced strenuous opposition from two descriptions of Magistrates —one the fanatical, but well-meaning, who deem them selves bound to protect the people, in spit e o f themselves, from all recreations, under the idea 'that whatever recreates is sinful, and. tempts to improper indulgences ; the other the canting i t s ho a s d a mi i r t a io b l l z y tte p rs ou o rt f ray p e o d pul b a y r th ap a ., worldlings, who imagine that the self-deniai which is imposed on others will be receivedb, e th m e in w el o it rl D d iv a i s ne a , pp:7: Campbell p t b h e e l i l r :_ ow , n , v o irt ne ue o it f .l that they will be rewarded accordingly. first engines that il commonly and successfully Thi c se la t s a s t o w f or m k e b n y plause, is to be very liberal in praising gent selves. The multitude is everywhere credulous , they rarely fail to be the . dupes of the most shameless pretenders ; they seem to proceed .on a very simple, and one would think a very ho" I nest principle, that nobody should know a per son's character so well as he does himself, and that therefore what they h a ve from his own mouth, on this topic, they ha ve from the best authority imaginable ; h enc e the success of quacks and mountebanks of every denomination.
