ROMO'rEft BENEFET COMPANY.— To Medical Men.—This Institution aff'ord's an extensive lield-for the exercise of Medical Skill, and of true Philanthropy. It is proposed to appoint medical officers,••for - all parts of London, to attend within certain limits : For instance—a Phy sician, a Surgeon, and an Apothecary, may be appointed for the district, bounded east, by a line with the Royal Exchange, wes t by Temple Bar, north by Fleet-street, and south by the Thames. Professors are requested to state their places of residence, the limit s withi n w hi c h they.propose to attend, and the nature of their qualifications. If of five years practice in the same neigh bourhood, testimonials of skill will not be indispensable, al th( VA highly desirable ; otherwise, the proposals must con tain references to medical professors of repute. Applications to be made by letter, postpaid, addressed to F i te Promoter Company, under cover, to any of - the following bentlemen, who are a - Committee for appoinling Medical Offi !ers, at competent salaries, according to the limits of their at -IPdance :—Alers Hankey, Esq., Penchurch-street ; Thomas `lebardson, Lombard-street; Benjamin Shaw, Esq., Cornhill. • PROMOTER, BENEFIT COMPANY.- , z In the various projections of Public Institutions, a total "regard has been shcwn to a class of persons, whose interests la a commercial country would seem entitled to the first con sideration—the HEADS of DEPARTMENTS, PRINCI PAI, and SUBORDINATE CLERKS in PUBLIC OF "ICES, BANKING and other ESTABLISHMENTS. The advantages held out by Government to its Officers, are the f ru i ts o f an excellent system ; as a progressive annual rise in salary, after a few probationary years, and an honourable superannuation form strong inducemeM.s to good conduct, and a continuance in the same employ. This _plan, however, is found to be too confined in its operation, and would be greatly improved by affording- the means of obtaining a certain inde pendence, after a given period of service. A Public Institution, providing pecuniary compensation and medical attendance, by first-rate professors, during illness, securing definite and progressive allowance in aid of salary,— . and coinpetent superannuation, at given periods ;—annuities for childtert,,and apprentice fees, or outfits for professions or other pursuits requiring considerable disbursements, must be highly beneficial, not only to those who serve, but also to those to whom service is rendered. To the former the idea of de pending solely on priv a t e f r i en d s hi p f or ass i stance, to ava i l ehemselvee of opportunities for settling their children, or on the bounty of employers for support, when incapable of rendering equivalent service, must be painful ;—whilst the true interests and best feelings of the latter must be deeply involved in pro viding respectable subsistence for confidential or deserving, as sistants whilst in active employ, and needful aid in sickness and "nipetent support for them in old tp , e. The system of Life Assurance has been greatly improved, and presented to the public in beneficial institutions. But the toot from width such institutions spring, has been altogether neglected; and, in carefully making proAfions for a man's pos ;etitY, the living man himself, and his family, during his life, have been entirely disregarded. In the ordinary Benefit Societies .consisting of persons in various trades, and generally applicable to the lower classes °MY—no efficient means have been employed to ascertain the t_ontinuance or probable duration of certain disorders inci dent to such trades, nor to fix the contributions proper to be made, to secure a compensation for loss of labour during those periods. Indeed, the difference of mortality in different trades h as never been determined, so as to afford an accurate scale of contribution for each class. To extend and apply the advantages of the Benefit Society !(_) Pereen e in a more elevated station in life,- is the object of the rronioter Benefit Company. Its business will be confined to ~ e , though numerous, class of Persons only, " the Heads of" '(..ePartments, Principal and Subordinate Clerks in Public it liees, Banking, and other Establishments ;" because, by the St eady uniformity of their pursuits and habits, perfect means area fforded for making accurate calculations of the periodical contr ibutions proper to be made by that class, at all ages, with -914 risk from the admission of persons of less healthy occu pations. For this purpose-e -the true law of mortality among that par ticular class of persons has been accurately ascertained : — Scales of th e progressive advance of salary in public offices, with the Usual period s o f superannuat i on, an d t h e pro b a bility o f ad cement by premature deaths, have been formed ; the ave rage numb er of sick persons at all ages, and the average ab sence feotn business, have also been carefully estimated. Tile engagements of the Company will be secured t y a sub !clibed Capital of 60,0001., in 6,000 Shares of 101. each ;—the !hole to be actually paid up at the time of subscribing.— ;3,000 Shares will be reserved. I, e‘ i s the materials for celculation have been procured express ,nr the purposes r this Institution, at great labour and very rlsitierable expence, the remaining 3,000 shares will not J_,lssued under I/. premium, to compensate the Projectors, t'areulators, and others, for such labour, time, and cost. But ~ afford a fair : ecomptition to the Public, a few days will be : t e llewed for biddings the highest bidders will of course be se -I._lsted for any number of Shares they may offer to take, at the fox! ce na med in the tender. In the event of similar bidding the eVal numbers, an equal distribution will be made ; and . ole 3;000 Shares will be disposed of among the bidders,, t any further reserve. For instance, if there should be renders for 500 Shares, each at 151. per Share, and 6 separate beters for only one• Share, at 15/.. Is. each of the latter would 1.2 c () of one Share, and the former , would get 499 each ; and ".) n, with re f erence to any higher or lower bidding, the lowest exceeding 11/e per Share.

No 'tender will be re ce i ve d a f ter t h e 2d day o f F e b ruary, nor any opened until the 3d of February, at Twelve o'Clock precisely ; when the Committee will attend . to op en the tenders. The suc cessful bidders w ill receive notice to pay in full the amount of their Shares to Sir John Perring, Bart., Shaw, Barber, and Co. by whom the certificates will be issued. biZ even will be . allowed to hold more than 500 Shares, but 'rig for single Shares will rank according to the price offered.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUMAN, JAN. 25 THE ICING, AT TrtE PROSECUTION OF TILE ATTOKtiEy• GENERAL v. CHARLILS BOLTON JOHNSTON AND TI MOTHY HAYDN. TRIAL Al' BAIL.-(SECOND PAY.) This morning at ten.o'clock, the Judges took the r seats on the Bench. The Court was crowded as on the preceding day, but from the excellent arrangerrr,mts made by the Under She riff, the.auditory were in' no material degree inconvenienced.-:- The Chief Justice immediately proceeded to state the judgment of the Court as to whether the communications had between Mr. Rody White and Ehe defendat, (Haydn), were confiden tial communications between attorney and client, which it would be improper to disclose. In the else of Wandsworth v. Hamblin, 2 Brod. and Bing. note p. 5, decided by the present Lord Chief Justice Abbott, Ist March, 1819, it was decided, that no communication was privileged communication, unless on a matter of business ; Est this decision had been overturned in the case of Cormack D. Heathcote, 2 Brod. and Bing. decided on the 29th February, 1024, and also by case of Willkins v. Mundy, (CArringron, '168); and also by the case of BrVirivrell v. Luz.,s, r,:arn. - ar 2. • Car., 748. The COURT were of opinion that, under these dnisions, the communications between Haydn and White Must b consider ed as being in the nature of professional, and, therefore, privi leged communications, and that Mr. White should not be coin- pelled to answer. Witnesses were examined who proved Mr. Haydn to have been connected with the Paella, Evening and S!ar. Mr. Nowrit now rose to address the Jury for the defendant. Johnston, and he thought it right, at the ou , set, to afford a full and frank admission, that if the production which had been given in evidence bore the interpretation p ut u p on it b y h is Majesty's Attorney-General, that Gentleman would be want rig to himself, to the Lord Lieutenant, and to the country,if he did not make it a subject of prosecution. But it was not a libel, Such as the Attorney-General had declared, or, that he came there that day to defend. If the character of the publication were of the description imputed, he should, with an utter hope lessness, have shrunk from the (;!fence of any man, who could have been guilty of giving publicity to a document so foul and false as that described by the Attorney-General. But there were two inquiries necessary, and in the consideration of these he would require, and be entertained no doubt but that he should receive, the aid of the Bench. The two questians carte shortly and simply these. First, did Johnston publish the libel as charged, and secondly, in publishing it, did he trans - tress the fair limits and boundaries of public discussion And in the consideration of this latter queStion there were sortie roles of law, which appeared so perfectly plain, that it was quite impossible to dispute them, before the minds of the Jttry, who were calm and well-judging men, could b' coerced in pro. nouncing • that Johnston had been guilty of f , iving publicity. It . was no crime, by the laws of England, to be the proprietor of a newspaper, In which a seditious libel may have trade its appearance—no man was called on to plead to such a charge, and the Counsel of any person accused, would advise him. to _demur to such a charge. It was no crime to keep a book seller's shop; it was no crime in Mr. Milliken or Mr. Archer to have sold a seditious libel, bit. having given publicity to a particular pamphlet in which there existed libels, it'tlim be came a question whether the bookseller published this pamphlet or not. So in the present case they must first be convinced, that the article declared a.s in the inuictinent was libellaus, before they convicted his client, Mr..iohnston, of the publication. That Johnston published the article, was a fact which tile Crown should have proved by distinct cogent evidence, arid it is a fact not easy of Fool in all cases. No well- Aware were the officers of the Crown of this diflieulty, that the I ezis lature had enacfed an express law to relieve the Crown 1 . 70: 1 1 that embarrassment, and making it imperativie on the publishers and proprietors of newspapers to make an affidavit of their bring the only persiOns exercising their respective duties is each newspaper establishment, and .obliging them also to poait a-nttm her .44.crch,of *sir pnbli:ations,,Avhir.ll , iNigimvettelt _ times be evidence of the contents of the paper. These were the statutable proof's which the Crown was enabled to make, of articles published in each paper- Accordingly, the Crolep re sorted to the provisions of this statute in the present ease, and an attempt was made to prove that Johnston was the registered Proprietor, and had made the 'affidavit of his responsibility at the stamp-office. -To prove this fact, several witnesses were ex ' sunned, the anion:lt of whose evidence was, that it appeared the name of Charleallolton Johnston was subscribed to an affidavit made in the stamp-office, but' an intpartant link was yet want- - ing—that is to say, the ideetity of Johnston, which was not at all established be any evidence given during the trial. The CroWn not only neglected to examine the„ottiaer before whom the affidavit was sworn, but also neglected to rend the affidavit • itself, and Johnston was not di...Terre proved to be the statult-; ble proprietor. The'case, therefore , stood as against him, upon the old provisions of the old law of the land, and he (Mr. North) thanked trod, they did again breath under its constitutional and protecting influence. . The So Lit: ITO tt-GE RAL here rose and requested permis sion to read the document, which form had been accidentao omitted ; but as it was already in proof, it cc s uld not be consi dered in the nature of new evidence, and therefore not to be ob ject; d to. • . . . . Mr. Nowt."' and Mr. O'CONNELL both strenuously object ed to thc reading of the affidavit, after the case had cloSed on the part of the Crown. The COURT were of opinion, that as it Was a document which had been already in proof, the Crown was privileged to read it. The affidavit was then about being read, when Mr. Norms, in a very energetic and animated tone, said, he would concede to the Solicitor-General that the Crown had— had what ?—a scintilla of evidence that there was an affidavit sworn, but there was one position which no Solicitor-Ceneral would dispute ; namely, that if the Jury were not satifi- d, that the Johnston who swore that affidavit, was the same Johnston against whom the information was tiled, he did not come with in the meaning of the statute. There was a rule of evidence Which he would denominate the Magaa Charte of legal rights. It was an impenetrable armour, shielding their pro perty and lives, and through which, neither the authority of power nor the finesse of legal ingenuity could penetrate. It was that rule of reason and law, that a party is bound to produce the best evidence the nature of the case would 'admit of. Scintilla was a Latin word, the English of which was, a spark—just something that could he discerned---same feeble glinim?ring, . or " Will o' the Wisp"—not that steady, clear. refulgent light, which, in the way of evidence, they should have thrown on any fact they required to prove. The practice of relying upon a scintilla itf evidence, and requiring juries to find their ver dicts on such prook, was of the most dangerous tendency ; it was calculated to bring the law of evidence into a state of fright ful laxity, in which no man's life or property would be safe. — But he would tell them what would have been superior evidence —the production of a witness acquainted wtth the handwriting of Johnson, or a witness who knew his person, and saw him make and sign the affidavit, would have been superior. But there was no evidence given to any such effect. Ile would now proceed to wrestle with the phantom of evidence that had been exhibited, until he. succeeded in chasing it to its grave. In cases of murder, circumstantial evidence was received, because, from the very nature of the crime, and the circumstances of r privacy which usually accompany its commission, repulsed sececy and the possibility of giving better evidence ; lost what was the nature of the circunistantial evidence required in such cases ? ' NVlsy, a smiting of facts that could leave no doubt of the guilt' of the party. The Learned Gentleman then proecedecl to com ment on the evidexce given to prove Johnston's having signed the affidavit. Ile then drew the distinction between his being the registered proprietor, or merely a proprieto:, under the controul of the ordinary law of the land. In the latter charac ter, which he contended properly belonged to Johnston, it would be for them to say, whether the evidence given was suf dolriewhaasd the authority of the Attor ney-General to afford a satisfactory conviction to any • reasonable cognizant pf, the publica '::lniti statement of his, the recollection of the prosecution—that he was considered f l god proprietor. And what, he would a'k, mt o ni f e°iYnn w :l h 6o, eae i r n ta: s itl i l '4b e P s kel l nl i e,e 7i n their memories, that Johnston was normal proprietor? A fictitious n aws o a t st I t e l l i t e nmd o cer t r s es j t e ,n) c ( t 7 racter,.-a person giving himself out for what he really is not, and assuming privileges he does not possess. If the Crown had not admitted that tact, he could not use the argument with , the same effect; but how did. it stand, - upon the admission of the Attorney-General ?—Why, that Johnston's , was not that . guilty mind, which lent its powers to the compo s ition of that which the Crown considered necessary to prosecute as a libel, but that his name was merely made use of by another. Couplc that admission with the evidence or Kean, who stated, that when he met Haydn, that gentleman became agitated on being informed of the-ex qfficio„ and that he introdoced to the wit ness (Kearn) Mr. Johnston as proprietor. That was evider ce they were not permitted to object to, -.but it was not condasitc evidence, and was calculated to have the effect of misleading. And if Johniton was put forward asilie proprietor, though the nominal one, and that. Haydn stated in his presence that he was proprietor, surely if Johnston consented to play the pro prietor, it was not to be expected that he would deny his being such, but rather that lie would give an appearance of acquies cence to the character -in which lie had consented to be repre sented ; but the matter went further, for Haydn, Johnston, and Kearn, having gone into a tavern,. what does it appear was the conduct of Johnston ? Why, he'was careless and in different, and did not share the anxiety of Haydn, who, how ever, afteratards became somewhat pot-valiant, and said, " No matter, here's the health of the Attorney-General, who is about to crown the Star." Johnston's conduct was just what would have been. expected front one not having any interest in the crowning . of the Star. But suppose he should go a little further, and having satisfied the Jury that .Johnston was not the registered proprietor, but was . something more ; that he was, in fact, the real. and bona fide proprietor, yet he sub mitted that, allowing Johnston to stand in the latter / character. tt 7re sees votesvidence NA conviot him 4 bting guilty of pub lishing the article for which he is prosecuted., For let him not • be told.that his being the proprietor of any paper, ist which a . iibellous paragraph shall be published, will convict him of being the publisher, because, under the ordiOary law, you must lay your hand upon the manusctip!, and bring the publication home to the publisher. Let them suppose. the case of two proprietors, one living in France and the other in Dublin. The . one in France_ is ignorant of his partner in Dublin having pub lished a libel, but he is equally , liable to the s•atutable respon sibility with the guilty partner,. if they should be the registered proprietors. But otherwise, he would be only subject to that responsibility thrown upon hint by the law which existed ante cedent to the statute. A man may be answerable for debts contracted by his partner, but he is not morally or legally liable for his crimes. As well might it be said, that the partners of the unhappy Mr. Fauntleroy should have suffered the penalty of death for his crimes. Men may. be partners in trade, yet the law does not go the length of making them joint sufferers in sharing the penalty of the laws for the criminal offences of each other. Though one man may be made. civilly responsible for the acts of another, yet it . is not because he is his coadjtia tor, but because he acts under his directions; as in the case of a bookseller, who is answerable for a libellous work sold in his shop by his shopkeeper, because the servant acted fur the mas ter. But, under the ordinary law, it never was said that per sons, having a co-ordinate authority in • the management of a newspaper, were each equally liable for 'the offence of the other. If such were the case, it would noehave. been necessary to enact the stamte.under which the present prosecution was sought to he supported. - Having, he hoped, established a conviction in their minis, that there was no evidence of Johnston being either a registered proprietor, or the publisher of the article, he would proceed to another topic; hut before he did so, he would observe, with reference to what fell from the Attorney- • Genetal, as to the rumour having' gone abroad, that he had beets guilty of nmereikss persecution towards the .defendant. Persecution' is 4 harsh • and offensive tern, and he had • ever thought that exaggerated tennis produce no advantage, and manifest b.llti taste. . Ile ails not instructed to charge the Atturncy.44entral with persecution, and his own feel ing and opinion would. pionipt hini not to do so. He was scury the Attorney-General had taken the trouble to con tradict what was not imputed to hint. but, however, the facts of this cese were.:that threihinformations had beets filed against the defendant—perhaps, &rile- intervening'periods discoveries .. had been made that eonvinccii the Crown that Johnston was . but the nominal proprietor, and that they would be enabled to • ' bring home the publication to the real publisher. lie was very far indeed, front insinuating any charge of harshtetss against the prosecutors ; - but as the Metter stood, there was certainly a great hardship on the defendant being several times duped by the prospect el thie prosecution being übandoneal, and alternate ly relievod 'and reloaded with the misery of mind, consequeht itiqiest3l4.l.--GrettYleie.,inforittation. . fletnaulelt not wedattederstariti ... . t e ....- -, way it was necessary to alter the counts ie each intOrmation, '. • ,and from a multitude of counts reduce them to two, and then encrease them and again reduce theme. lie understood it was . by repeated touches that sculptors produced perfection, and perhaps Me.

Learned Friend's faceethat he was tot impressed with a consciousness • of beholding all that is venerable in the law, and sound in opi nion, and when he had learned that the last information was Complete, he was reminded of Lord Cube's celebrated apho rism, " blessed be the mending hand."

Wharton, and Woodstock, t l'oodstock. His Learned Friend'S practice in this instance, reminded him of that of some of the commentators who threw - . a blaze of light upon subjects that were evident to the plainest understandings ; but when a difficult solution came in • '.t. 'their way, they preserved a judicious silence. Now he would . ~. tell them the use and purpose of an inuendo—articles and para., -,•- graphs might be so written, that at the first blush they would. : strike the readeras libels, and required not the explanation of a lawyer to convince a man- they were such. But there were other cases where what was said with apparently . one view • really had an opposite mconing • and in provinghhat such a pa- • • ragraph was libellous, it would be necessary -to lhtplein what '• , r was the meaning intended to be conveyed; because, although. ' the Jury might very well understand its application, yet with-• • e Out an inuendo stated there could be no permanent record upon which a defendant's innocence or guilt could appear. There . would be no distinct issue upon which the jury were to decide whether time person named in the information was the person alluded to In the - paragraph,• And as no description wee so ca pable of conveying one's meaning, he would illustrate his posi tion by. :an example. The learned Gentleman therm cited the , case of ale, ite.beficio against Paine, for the Rights of Man, in which ninny passages were - complained of, one of which was, " That the time was not - far distant when England would re gret .. having sent to Hanover, at the expence of some thousands of pounds, for men who neither understood her laws, language, • . nor customs, and were not fit :to fill the office of parish con- - d,::patprnociobearlt Stables." In the infcrrtiatiors it was inuendoed, that William • the Third was meant by the word men and that consequently • • the glorious revolution of 1688 was libelled, and the illustrious . Howe of Hanover was brought into contempt. There it . was necessary - to insert upon the record and to state the inuendo. The moment the inuendo was stated, an. issue e whs raised, and upon that issue the jury • decided, and by it the defendant was to . abide. If they took upon them to . consider of an ambiguous phrase set before them, applied without an inuendo, by what authority or ground.woulti they have for deciding upon the innocence or guilt of the , accuser', or what permanent . record would the Court .. have, to which to affix his guilt, or, its he trusted would be in the present case, what permanent record would they have for -.- •'• which to refer for his innocence, or what punishment could be ,-• awarded. to the convicted in- th absence of any recorded offence ? . • If the Attorney-General is not content to take a paragraph •in . its obvious sense, but must put • his own construction upon it, - he is upon the record, and not for the first time acquaint a defendant with it'at the bar of justice. He .did not know a e• more happy illustration of what he meant to convey, than by supposing a splendid house, most perfect in the architectural ar rangements of its interior, but wanting -no indispensable - a por tion as the stairs, how were they to climb up to the rooins, or view its beauties ? If they had said Lord NVilarton, thereby 'meaning Lord Wellesley, there would have been n fair oe r g e u n e : ; tion.to try. It was ever an opinion of his, that lawyers the best - judges of political libels.
