SPRING ASSIZES. READING, SATURDAY, MARCH 3. SECXERSON V. TRICKEY. Mr. TaLvouan'atated that this was a very aggravated case of assault. The plaintiff is a gentleman residing at Oakingham, and by business a silk shag-manufacturer. He was a man infirm in health, and small in stature. The defendant was a fine tail young man, and therefore in9apable of inflicting considerable in jury on the plaintiff. The parties used often to meet at the Rose Inn, at Oakingham, and on the evening of the 9th of September the two assaults complained of occurred. He would admit that there was language used, that if it were used gravely, might have excited anger, but he should prove that it was done jocularly and in good humour. The defendant said he had a horse called La zarus, which would give the go-by to every horse on the road, though it was covered with sores. The plaintiff, who was smok ing, took his pipe out of his mouth, and said, " h ow can you tell 'nivel, ?" This was not offensively said, but jocularly, as a sort of compliment to the very great romancing powers of the;defendant, who instantly got up, and gave a most violent blow to the plaintiff, which cut open his lip, and such was the vio lence of the blow that the defendant cut his own band with the teeth of the plaintiff. After this, the plaintiff was assisted out of the house, a nd on his return he received a violent kick on the chest from the defendant's foot, which took away his breath, and he was carried home in such a situation as to be kept out of his business for more liveanaf o o t rtnight Alfred Oakingham ; I was with these parties at the Rose Inn, at Oakingham. The defendant said he had bought a horse, named Lazarus, so called, because it was covered with sores, but such was the speed of the horse, that now he was in condition, nothing on the road could pass it. The plaintiff said " what is the use of your sitting there and telling such lies, wLien you know them to be so ?" I think this was said jocularly. Mr. Baron GARROW-This is a sort of jocularity that often ends inn man being knocked down. Examination resumed—The defendant said "Do you mean me ?" " Yes, I do," said the plaintiff, "and you are a —liar." Mr. Baron Giutuow—There is nothing very jocular in this. The witness—The defendant knocked the plaintiff down twice and cut his lip. The plaintiff got the bellows and struck with it, and the handle broke off. Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS—The defendant is a very re spectable man. I have heard that he is considered a great liar. He is my particular friend. The defendant was telling Mr. Churchman about his horse, and was not addressing the plaintiff. The latter did not offer to . bOx for a guinea, but he wanted the defendant to fight him with pistols at four the next morning, and the plaintiff deposited a sovereign by way of stakes.--(Much langhter.) Mr. Thomas Johnson, a gentleninn of very outre appearance, a distinguished member of,the provincial fancy, said, " I called the defendant into a small public-house by the toad side, and as I am come here I must speak the truth—upon my honour it was quite a little public-house my Lord—and 1 said, but 1 dare say your Lordship won't understand us. Tom, says I, this is a bad job of your's, but I think I could settle it for you for a pobble' and a half dozen. A ' pobble,' my Lord, is a leg of mutton—(m uc h laughter.) That's what I said, ipon my honour—(a laugh). Tom he said he would knock off the head of any man who called him a liar. He said he had plenty of money for law, and would not stand no nonsense." Cross-examined by Mr. JERVIS. ---I have stood a good many " pobbles" and half-dozens in my time, but it is very hard to be forced to pay for doing Wrong, and be told of it afterwards. Mr. Johnson baying concluded his evidence, waved his hat gracefully to the Learned Baron, said, " I wish your Lordship a good evening," and retired amidst continued laughter. Mr. JERVIS addressed the Jury for the defendant.--Verdiet for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. . - A NEW SUITOR TO THE LADIES. A few days since a professional gentleman having occasion to stop a few mi nutes at the house of a Reverend Friend of his, in a village not far from Taunton, left his horse 'in the charge of a maid-servant at the door, who, forseme reason best known to herself, held the bridle as she stood behind the half-closed door. The horse feel ing indignant at the unceremonious manner in which he was held in durance, dragged•the reins out of the hand of the woman, and exhibiting symptoms of abandonment she went in pursuit of him. The horse, taking advantage of his master's absence, became in turn the pursuer, and with aspect terrible, and jaws extended, fol lowed his fair, though terrified, enslaver to the door of a neigh hour's house hard by, where she ran for shelter, and, the in mates coming to her immediate assistance prevented any further mischief. The story being told by the above gentleman to a face tious friend of his, a. celebrated son of Galen, the latter replied, "Master's tricks exactly." If master had not been food, of run ning after the maidens, the horse would not have been so ready at the business.—Dorset Chronicle. In congratulating your Grace on your appointment to the high office of Commander-in-Chief, permit me to Call your attention to (I may safely say) the most deserving, and I may add, rather ne glected rank in the Army, I mean the Captains. Rank and honours were lavished on Field Officers, who were during the late war fortunate to command a battalion in action, when it is a well known fact that many of them would hate found it difficult to manoeuvre their regiments at a field day to the satisfaction of yoUr Lordship, so that it must be admitted, that h was their courage, (and who dare shew a want of it in the field), and not their abilities, which procured them those flattering tes timonials. YoUr LOrdship knows very well, that it is not every man who can manoeuvre a battalion, (although every man is eligible *), and when a deserving Officer so situated, finds himself at exercise, or in the field, he looks for assistance and receives it from the steady conduct of his Captains, who, being the only Officers exposed with the front rankf, see and appreciate the command (and contem plated movement) of their Commanding Officer. It is not for We to point out the various duties of Captain, and the responsibility attached to the rank. If a Gmeral Officer finds fault with_ a Regirnetit, the Commanding Officer rows (as the saving is) the Captains, and if he has reason to find fault himself, he rows them again. It is well known, that our late lamented Commander-in-Chief was thwarted in his desire to do justice to all ranks, by the cries of Mr. Hume and his party, but, my Lord, had he been spared to the Army, he would have carried his point in spite of such ready calculators, and it is left to your Lordship to finish his good in tentions. Every one knows, that it is no uncommon thing to find Cap tains on full (and half-pay), of 20 and 30 years' service, without Brevet rank, whose full pay and allowances do not exceed 2001. per year, a sum, that a merchant in the city would be ashamed to offer a junior clerk after -1 7 years' service. Now, if your Lordship will take the trouble to enquire, you will•find that on the breaking out of the war, after the' peace of Amiens, it was understood, that the Brevet would be extended to Captains, who should be placed on half-pay at the conclusion of peace, as it is at present to the higher ranks ; and notwitbstand• ing too many Brevet Captains interfere with the interior economy and duties of a Regiment, I trust I shall see (through your Lord ship) those duties altered, so as to prevent this inconvenience, and thereby silence all 'objection to extending the Brevet to the half-pay. The honorary title of Brevet, on the Continent of Europe only, is now granting to Field Officers who dispose of their full or half pay, according to the general orders of April, 1825. Now, let me say, my Lord, that it would be worthy the character and high estimation in which you are held by the army, to recommend a similar Brevet , to Captains who have sold out under these regula tions; it will be of no expence to the country, (Which induces me to suppose that.even Mr. Hume will not object to it), it will not interfere with any existing regulations of the army, and it will flatter the 'vanity of a deserving class of Officers, who have up wards of twenty years' service, and in most cases some half-dozen wounds, to boast of. • To this. appeal in favour of half-pay Captains, I beg, in the name of the army at large, to call your Lordship's attention to the subject of medals; it is not only the Officers, but the men, who complain of the extraordinary preference given to what is termed the Waterloo men. If numbers and the result on the destinies of Europe authorise preference, certainly Waterloo justly deserves it; but your Lordship cannot forget the privations and extraordinary valour of our little army of 19,000 men at Talavera, out of which we lost 5,000 ; nor that of Albuera, where our numbers and loss was much on the same scale; soldiers who fought the whole of the Peninsula Campaigns, and were on detaehment or on the sick list (whilst their corps were at Waterloo) are yet to be found in the ranks beside young men, who were not six months soldiers, prior to that glorious action, for which they were honoured with a medal, and I believe I am correct when I say, many, who were not within hearing of the thunder of the artillery, were similarly honoured. • I am, my Lord, &c. &c. &c., A CAPTAIN, Of Twenty-five years' Service, on Half-pay. 4 ' I have seen the late Lord Castlereagh, when commanding the Londonderry Militia, in 1798, at a dead stand (as it is termed) in manceuVring the Regiment. t Officers of all ranks in the Continental Service are in rear of the Line. BRITISH SHIPPING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six--I have read with much satisfaction your very excellent observations on the meeting of Shipowners, held at the City of London Tavern, and although I am a Shipowner myself, I cannot agree with the sentiments of many of my brethren, as expressed at that Meeting. That a considerable degree of distress is telt by Shipowners I admit, but I cannot attribute that distress to the recent measures of the Board of Trade. The truth is, that we have had overtrading in Shipbuilding, as well as in every other branch of Trade. In 1824 and 1825, when the Carrying Trade was paying well, an immense addition of Tonnage was added to thet h e Ports B ritish of S L h o i n p d p o in n, g. yar N m o e t o eth n the Ports , ly Hell,\vhit h Whitby, t Ne e w C ea h s a t n le n , el D , e b n u_t dee, Aberdeen, and even those of Canada, exhibited a degree of bustle and activity which had never been witnessed before. The consequence is that the Market is overstocked with Shipping, and a certain time must elapse, before the supply and demand again accommodate themselves to each other. It is quite absurd to hear men, who should be better informed, assert that our Navigation L re a m w a s in l s iay been in full full n set aside. The force, which is,tha fa t m t o h us Act of e.rreduee O e li f v an er Cro any Country can only be imported into England by the Ships of that Country, or by British, Ships. For instance, no American vessel is per mitted to bring us Wines froni France ; no Dutch vessel is permit ted to bring Hemp from Russia ; nor can a Prussian bring Cot ton from the United States. In some of the minor points the Navigation Laws have been altered, but 'in no fundamental part. Our Coasting Wade, which is quite as important as o ur Forei g n Trade, remains exclusively with ourse l ves ; no foreigner ca n t ake an ounce of goods from one Briti s h Port to another. I cannot see what advantage would arise from levying heavier Duties upoi Foreign Ships, than upon our, own, because, Foreigners would lay corresponding charges upon our Shipping when we entered their Ports ; and if we refuse their produce, unless imported in British Ships, they will refuse our Manufactures, and Colonial Produce, and take those of France and Holland. We cannot have a Trade with any Country which is only to be beneficial to our selves, it must be mutually beneficial, and founded upon an equita ble basis, otherwise it cannot be advantageous to either country. The only relief that Government can give to British shipping, is to remove the duty on naval stores, which on oak timber and hemp is extremely heavy, and if this be done, we shall be able to keep our full share of the carrying trade. I sincerely trust, that Government will not listen to the absurd clamours of Agriculturists, Shipowners, Manufacturers, or any set ; of men ; but that they will consider the good of the nation generally, and lop off all re strictions and monopolies which have so long disgraced the Statute Book o f a free people, and leave A tra ßy d ß e olu to Tr lo fl sb o; ies i n n Ht to lspe t r h v o a s n e t, ch anne l s which our own necessities, and the necessities of others, will open I am, Sir, up for it.

SPORTS FOR MARCH. (From the Annals,of Sporting.) • Sharp blows the wind, and rustling gales proclaim That March his reign begins : the bursting bud, The opening flower, the .song of merry bird Acknowledge him, And minister his fame : Warmer and clearer now the bubbling flood Pursues its ceaseless course, whilst oft is heard The leap of hungry. fish; all active for its food : Yea, through the welkin various echoes run, Of the stag-hunter's shout, or wild-fowl shooter's gun. The objects of British field sports may he said to be drawn to gether for the important business of proc r eation; and, in conse quence, diversion is, in a great degree, suspended. On the 2Ath of January, we observed, for the first time this season, parpridgat congregated and in contest, a uniform prelude for pairine , ! - M such occasions, scattered and broken coveys unite, or rather meet, for the purpose of combat and of selecting mates. Nor are par tridges singular in this respect, as animals- of the deer kind, and particularly the red and the fallow deer, contend, with the utmost fury, for the possession of the female. However, these animals are not like the partridge, content with a single mate ; they are very Grand Seignors in their habits and tastes, a plurality of fa vourites must be theirs.* Pheasants approach each other at the same period as the par tridge ; but their mode of proceeding on these occasions is not so much subjected to human observation. We know, however, that their manners and habits differ from those of the paitridge. The cock pheasant, like the stag and the buck, is an absolute plu ralist; and, like them, too, he gives himself no trouble about his offspring, but leaves the care of the rising progeny entirely to the female. Sometimes pheasants appear to pair ; the younger birds, for instance, will stray from the presence and - breed, and as, the male remains, apparently t in company with the female and family during the summer, pairing would seem to be implied by such an association. Grouse pair at an earlier period than the partridge, though the precise time is regulated by the weather ; thus, when the winter happens to be very severe at the close, the young birds are later in making their appearance. The winter, though we have had severe weather occasionally, has not been propitious to the fowler, or he who pursues ducks, geese, widgeon, teal, and those birds which come under the de scription of wild fowl. Such, it is true, are generally to be found upon many parts of the coast in, winter, but we have reason to believe they have appeared less numerously than usual during the present, or, rather, perhaps, we should say, the late season. Upon the lakes, the marshes, and in the interior of the country, they have been very scarce. On the 28th of January more of these web-footed birds fell under the writer's observation than at any other •period of the winter. The frost had continued for many days ; and it was some hours after the commencement of the thaw that we saw them : at such a time they are easily shot ; they fly lower, move slowly, and are more careless of human con tact. Hunger, at such periods, induces them to visit the margins of lakes, &c. for the purpose of picking up worms, or any other food which may present itself. Woodcocks have been very scarce; stragglers may yet be picked up. Hare-hunting will be eagerly followed during the early part of the month, and better runs will ensue than at any other period. The Jack hare, for instance, will ramble miles from home in search of the doe, and, when pursued by hounds, will make the best of his way back. Under such circumstances the chase resembles the pursuit of the for ; it is straight forward, and consequently affords the best possible diversion. _ Coursing, of the proper duration of which we have frequently spoken, will continue the first, and, perhaps, the second week of March ; and only, we hope, till then. By many, and correctly, February and March are supposed to be the season which affords the best runs with fox-hounds. A similar remark will here ap ply to that which we made respecting the hare. The dog fox rambles to considerable aistances in search of the bitch, and on this account is concluded to be in the best wind. As far as our own personal observations will bear us ont, we are inclined to agree with the notion just expressed, having witnessed many ex. cellent runs during the months in question. • As we are not aware that any naturalist has correctly de scribed the manners and nature of deer, during the season of love, we will, in this place, supply th e om i ss i on . Red and fallow deer assemble, and desperate battles ensue between the males, till, ulti mately, one remains victorious over the rest of his fellows, when he congregates the females, and will not suffer one of them to re move beyond the distance which his capricious jealousy prescribes ; should a female attempt to transgress, or ramble away, he attacks her with the utmost violence, and it sometimes happens that her death alone will appease his fury. However, he is not suffered to enjoy his pre-eminence in undisturbed security; he becomes weak from incessant enjoyment (as during this period he takes little, if any, food), and it is not long before he is attacked and overcome by one of those males which was vanquished in the first onset. The conqueror takes possession and maintains it for a short space in the same Way ; and, like his predecessor, is doomed to experi ence a similar humiliation.
