" LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1827. EDUCATION. R. WALTER PATON, of N 0.2, Devon shire-street, Portland-place, has the honour of in forming the respectable inhabitants of St. Marylebone, that he has formed two classes, of a very select kind, for the fol lowing branches of learning, viz.:— WRITING, ARITHMETIC, GEOGRAPHY AND THE USE OF THE GLOBES, upon the success of which will depend the formation o other Classes for Mathematics, Classics, &c., which he hopes will be found worthy of their support and patronage. Mr. PATON is aware that there are many families in this parish, who (if they but knew of these Classes), would immediately sanction and encourage them, as they combine all the advantages of the most careful Private Lessons, with the moderate expense of Public Tuition, and what is of the highest importance to Education, the spirit of Emulation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JULY 7. In the three following cases (which were infor mations brought for breaches of the Excise Laws) the defendants severally suffered judgment to go by default, namely, " The Attorney-General v. Nor maid," " The Same v. Pearson," " The Same v. Holt." BREWERS AND THEIR ATTORNEYGE, IaRAL V. WELFEAR. This was an information on which penalties were sought to be recovered against the defendant; first, for sending out beer without a certificate; secondly, for having in his possession drugs prohibited by law; and, thirdly, for using in the manufacture of beer unlawful ingredients. The ele:endant who is a farmer and hop planter, residing near Chatham, is also the licensed proprie tor of a beer brewery in that town. By Act of Par liament every brewer is bound to make to the Ex cise a return of the quantity of beer brewed by . bitn, and to keep a boOk, called a certificate book (in the nature of a banking draft book), in which,. on one half of a leaf, when sending out beer, he is bound to enter the quantity, with the name of his customer to whom it is so sent out. This he cuts off, and it is delivered with the beer. A corresponding entry is made in the reaming half of the leaf, for the satis faction of the inspecting excise officer, who is thus enabled t. check the stock of the brewer, and to de tect any frauds that may be practised. From the evidence produced, it appeared that, on the 9th Ja nuary last, certain excise officers repaired to the brewery of the defendant, and inspected the stock and certificate book, from which it appeared that, instead of nineteen barrels of strong beer, and thir teen barrels of table beer, there were remaining only sixteen barrels of " strong," and nine barrels one fir kin of " table," while no entry had been made in the certificate book of any having been sent out. The stock had thus been illegally diminished in the quan tity of three barrels of " strong," and three barrels three firkins of " table" beer. On the 12th January the same parties detected, in the same way, a similar decrease of the defendant's stock, to the amount of two barrels one firkin of table beer. For each of which breaches of the law the defendant became liable to a penalty of 2001. These constituted the first branch of the information. Their suspicions having been excited by these discoveries, and private information of improper practices having reached them, the officers proceeded to the counting-house attached to the brewery, and on a file, in the regu lar order of dates, with other papers, they found bills of parcels, purporting to be from Atkinson and Jeff ries (druggists), and referring to certain quantities of drugs had of them, in this way :-1 lb. Coriander Seeds; 1 lb. C. T. (supposed to mean Coculus In dices); " Sundries ;" Sach. Hisp. (Spanish Liquo rice) ; Hartshorn Shavings ; Tob. (Tobacco); G. P. (supposed Grains of Paradise), &c. On search ing the dwelling-house of Mr. Britton, the son in-law of the defendant, and who had the sole management of the concern, the officers found one pound of Spanish liquorice. These discoveries formed the 2d branch of the information. The 3d was supplied by the evidence of a man who had been in the employment of the defendant, as drayman, who deposed to his having unloaded the dray one evening, and taking from it a small cask, containing between four and five gallons of molasses, which, by the direction of Britton, he carried to the coal-hole for concealment, .and that at each of three or four several times subsequently, by the orders of Oakley, the defendant's brewer, be took from the cask about three quarts of the molasses, which Oakley poured into the copper among the wort, he being then en gaged in the process of brewing. The witness further deposed to his having found in the hop " back," when clearing it out after a brewage, a lump or ball of stuff, part of which he gave to Mr. Birch, the Excise-officer, who handed it, to be an alysed, to the chemist employed by the Excise for that purpose. The remainder he. himself delivered to the analyst, who applied to it the usual test, and pronounced it to be liquorice root. These circum stances constituted the third branch of the informa tion.against the defendant. The total amount of beer alleged to have been sent out by the defendant, without certificates, was 120 barrels of " strong," and 200 barrels of " table." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case, and proceeded to call his witnesses. The excise officers proved the circumstances above stated, but, with reference to the transaction of 12th January, the officer admitted that, having remarked to Britton the irregularity of sending out beer without a certificate, and having proceeded a few yards on his way from the premises, he was called back by Britton, who told him the beer had been entered regularly, anll pointed to the certificate book, where the witness certainly found an entry, but that the ink in which it was written was still wet. To support the third charge, - Chambers was called and examined. Wit ness had been in the employment of the defendant, as drayman. The business was managed solely by Mr. Britton, who was the son-in-law of the defend ant. Oakley was the brewer. " I remember (con tinued the witness) one evening in the month of May or June, 1826, Mr. Britton returning with the dray, which he desired me to unload. There was a small cask, among others, which contained about four gallons and a half." Mr. CLARKE.—Do you know what it contained? Witness—l do co/ossus.—(A roar of laughter.)— The examination proceeded, and the witness was found to have meant molasses. He then stated his having placed the cask in the coal hole (of Britton's dwelling house), and his having, four or five times, brought part of its contents to Oakley, who poured it into the copper. He had also seen Oakley put salt into the brewage. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL.--What stuff the public are compelled to drink ! The LORD CHIEF BARON."-What was the salt for ? In answer to this question, it was intimated that the only reason for using salt was to excite thirst. The LORD CHIEF BARON suggested, that in such a composition salt water would be a much more wholesome and useful ingredient ; and, in reference to a remark respecting the possession of drugs by a brewer, said, the druggist supplying them was liable to a heavy penalty. To a'question whether the witness had ever heard any complaint of the beer, he answered in the affir mative. What was the complaint ? That it made the customers heady. The strong beer of course ? No, the " table" beer.—(A loud laugh.)—The wit ness then proceeded to state that he found in the hop back one day a ball of staff rolled up " like a horse ball," part of which he gave to Birch the officer, and part to Mr. Hubert, the chemist. He remembered some hops having been brought into the brewery which (on account of their bad quality he believed), Oakley told Britton were seizable,and they were accordingly removed to his house (Ow they were subsequently seized by the officers, together with the Spanish liquorice.) Joseph Hubert examined—l am a chemist; a substance was handed to me some time since, by James Birch (the excise officer), and another by the last witness. I submitted both to a chemical analysis, and found both to bg the same—namely, a vegetable substance, fibrous in its part, such as the roots of plants produce, and the decoction from which emitted a flavour precisely similar to that . of liquorice root. The condemnation of the hops and liquorice seized, was here read. Mr. PLATT then proceeded to address the Jury for the defendant, who, he stated, was, not a brewer but a farmer. The defendant's daughter was mar ried to Britton some years since. Britton, who had been an opulent and respectable person, was unfor tunate in business, and had been twice a bankrupt.. The Jury were aware that unless a bankrupt shall pay under the commission in his second bankruptcy, 15 shillings in the pound, his creditors have a right to seize all his subsequently acquired property, until that amount shall have been liquidated. Seeing his daughter and her ,husband in distress, the defendant did that which every father would or ought to do— he endeavoured to place Britton in a situation to support his wife and family, became the licensed and nominal proprietor of the brewery in question, and gave it up to Britton, but never interfered in the business in any manner or particular what ever. Was that man, therefore, to be punished for the acts of another ? Would the Jury hold him responsible for the improper conduct of his son in law ? The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to contend that the defendant ought not to be held accountable for any matters over which he had exer cised no controul. With regard to the liquorice found, he would ask, might it not have been kept for a sick child ? The Learned Gentleman then commented at length, and with much force, upon the improbability of Chambers's evidence—a dis charged servant, actuated, as he had admitted him self to. be, by motives of revenge. Here the Learned Gentleman corrected himself ; he found he was mis taken respecting the liquorice, and should call a far rier to prove that it was intended not for a sick child, but for a sick horse.—(A laugh.)—The evi dence of Chambers he should falsify by the testi mony of Mr. Oakley, the brewer, and having thus cleared his client of the charges brought against him he looked to the Jury with confidence for a verdict for the defendant. _ _ After a few minutes' conversation, the Jury found for the Crown, for the offence respecting the certi ficate (9th January) ; and for the defendant's hav ing had unlawful ingredients in his possession ; and for the defendant on the other charge. The penal ties in these cases amount to 4001. The trial lasted six hours. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V; ATKINSON AND ANOTHER. This was an information against the druggists mentioned in the last case, for having supplied the defendant in that case with unlawful drugs, to be used in the manufacture of beer. The defendants submitted to a penalty without a trial. ARCHES COURT, JULY 7. COATES V. ALWOOD. Dr. JENNER, in this case prayed the Court for a decree for payment of legacy, under the following circumstances. Mr. Alwood, the deceased in the cause had, by his last will and testament, among other bequests, left to his wife the annual interest accruing on 10,000/. Three per Cents., and to Mr. Coates his nephew, (the other party in this suit) a l egac y of 5001.; and of this will he had appointed his brother, Mr. Jonathan Alwood, the defendant, exe cutor. But Mr. Jonathan Alwood had ever since refused to pay Mr. Coates the said legacy, alledging that he had not assets of the deceased's estate ade quate to its satisfacti on . Up on its being represen ted to him that he had, notwithstanding, for very many years (deceased having died in the beginning of 1812) paid the annuity bequeathed to the widow he replied that he had done 30, in truth ; but out of the principal monies,which had come to his hands, t h e whole value of deceased's personal estate not having really exceeded 6,0001. or 7,0001. The L e arned Counsel trusted that there was nothing in this statement to induce the Court to withhold its decree. Dr. LUSIIINGTON hoped the Court would not make any such decree. The executor stated, "that he had no assets,"—as an answer 'to Mr. Coates's demand. Now it was for the other party to have shown that he had assets, if he meant to press his claim Sir JOHN NICHOLL said, that the Court had no present option but to remit the matter to the Court below, for the production there of an inventory and account. PREROGATIVE COURT, JULY 7. HANNAM AND BOOTH V. HURD. This was a question relative to the last testa mentary disposition of Mrs. Frances St. Leger, widow, deceased, and late o f Worksop, i n t h e county of Nottingham, the relict of Colonel Barry St. Leger, who, about the close of the A mer i can war, was the Commander-in - Chief of the British Army in Canada. About 35 or 40 years ago, Mrs. St. Leger, being then a chambermaid at an inn at Worksop, Colonel St. Leger b ecame acqua i nte d , and finally very inti▪ mately connected w ith h er , so that soon after he arrived out in Canada, she followed and joined him there, and returned with him from thence to England. On their return, he built a house at Worksop, where they co n ti nue d to co h a bi t to gether until the peri▪ od of Colonel St. Leger's death, which took place in 1793 . About a twelvemonth before that event, the Colonel being then in a rapidly declining state, and very paralytic, married her. He was obliged to be conveyed, by the aid of his ser vant, out of his carriage and into the church on that occasion. During their connection, and to the day of his decase, he was exceedingly attached to her, and they had in that interval several children, all of whom died in the lifetime. of the Colonel or of Mrs. St. Leger, and all of whom were illegitimate. One of these children, John Lindley St. Leger, married his first cousin, the offspring of which union was a child, now Mrs. Beardsworth, grand-daughter of the deceased testatrix, wife of Mr., Humphrey Beards worth, living at orksop r and now claiming both as only legitimate descendant of her grand-mother, and as the residuary legatee named in instruments now produced, as containing her last will and testament. — After the death of Colonel St. Leger, the conduct of his widow beceme most eccentric and extravagant. The Colonel had left her all his property, which was very considerable, and as the half yearly periods of receiving her dividends (in January and July of eack year) approached, she became restless, violent, and irritable, to a degree bordering upon,and in the decline of her life actually determining in phrenzy and insa nity. Her most constant and favourite visitor was het grand daughter, Miss St. Leger; but this preference was much endangered by Miss St. Leger's going away, with some degree of clandestinity, in a post chaise, and marrying Mr. Beardsworth. Owing tc her extreme improvidence, and the disgraceful cha racter of those with whom 'she - itisociated whenever she had much money to lavish on them, Mrs. St. Leger's estate at last became so much impoverished, and in jeopardy, that at the petition of Mr. Humphrey Beardsworth, and Elizabeth,his wife, the Lord Chan - cellor did, in March 1821, issue a commission " cic• lunatico ;nquirendo ;" and the inquisition held undqr it, returned her, on the 17th April, 1821, after examining her and receiving from her many pertinent and sensible answers, to be a lunatic, but with lucid intervals ;" and the Court of Chancery, on the report of the Master, to whom the matter was re ferred, afterwards appointed Mrs. Beardsworth committee of her person; and Mr. Booth committee of her estate. After the decease of her husband, the testratix used totake great delight in, talkingof the dis tinguished family of her husband ; and even corre sponded with them. '° Herhero," as she called him,was Sir Dudley St. Leger Hill (a nearrelation of the Col.); Mrs. Frederica Hurd, and Gen. Wynyard, were also objects of her regard; and she talked and thought, with whimsical pride and exultation, of being con nected with them by her marriage. She always ex pressed an intention of bountifully remembering at her death these and other members of the St. Leger family, as it was from one of that family she had de rived all her property; and, accordingly, by the in structions for her will of the 20th April, 1821, she devised her freehold property, at Worksop, to Si: Dudley St. Leger Hill, Gen. Wynyard, and T. G. Hurd, Esq..; to her four executors, therein nam ed, Mr. Read (who prepared the will) Sir Dudley Hill, Mr. Proudfoot, and the Rev. Mr. Goodworthy, 2001. each; to Mrs. Frederica Hurd, 2001.; and re sidue to Sir D. Hill, Gen. Wynyard, and Mr. T. G. Hurd. In the will, prepared from those instruc tions, however, two or three of the legatees were struck out, and 1,0001. and the freehold were given to Mrs. Beardsworth. It was to her that she had at all times declared, she would leave the bulk of her property, sometimes saying she would make her a lady, and at others reviling her, because she did not en gage in those household occupations, which she, de ceased, had herself expressly prohibited her from. The deceased died on the 10th April 1825, and no less than 10 wills, or testamentary scripts in the nature of wills, were found after her decease, extending in dates, from 1806 to 1825. The three papers pro pounded, however, were a will, dated in May, 1820 ; another, 20th of April 1821 ; and a third, 7th May, 1823. By the first and last of these three wills, the residuary bequests, and beneficial interest generally, were to Mrs. Beardsworth ; and they were pro pounded by the executors and trustees. The second of the wills gave the chief benefits of deceased's testamentary bounty to the Hurd family. Dr. JENNER and Dr. LUSHINGTON were heard in support of the first and third wills. Dr. PHILLIMORE and Dr. J. ADDAMS in support of the second. The Court deferred its judgment. MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

The infant immediately afterwards began to cry bitterly, and the servant becoming alarmed, took it to a medical gentle man, who, upon the slightest examination, found its arm dislocated, both at the shoulder-joint and socket. It is a very common practice with in considerate females, to pull infants by the arms in this reckless manner, and it is one which at all times deserves to be severely reprobated.—Edin burgh Evening .

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday an In quest was held at the Green Man and Still, Oxford-street, on the body of Daniel Richer, who was for many years employed as postman in the General Post Office, and who hanged himself in the water-closet of that Inn, o n, wed-, nesday evening last. From all the testimony adduced, it appeared that the mind of the de ceased was afflicted with melancholy arising out of private calamities, and the verdict returned by the Jury was in accordance, as they pronounced him insane at the time he committed the rash act. THE MORNING CLASS, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from Nine to Eleven o'Clock, is composed of young Ladies from six years old and upwards, who are taught all or any of the above branches, according to agreement. THE EVENING CLASS, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from Six to Eight o'Clock, is composed of young Gentlemen, and is regulated nearly in the same manner as the Morning Class. Mr. PATON has been, from the age of Seven, constantly employed in Teaching, not only numerous Classes of both Sexes, but also in the highest ranks of Society ; and par ticularly during the last ten years, in London, (nearly the whole of which time he has resided in Devonshire•-street) ; his practice in Schools and Families has been and continues to be of the most extensive and first rate order,—he there fore earnestly solicits Parents to believe, that the Esta blishment of these and other Classes upon a permanent foundation, results from no other cause, (as may be evident from its present engagements) , than a firm conviction of their importance, in a neighbourhood so highly respectable, and although they may be termed in some measure Public Classes, they will be found ultimately to give Parents the highest satisfaction, and Pupils the greatest advantage that can possibly arise from the study of these branches, upon the moderate Terms of Public Tuition as before stated. The Names of Pupils will be required some days pre vious to their entering either of the above Classes.—Terms known on application.—Schools and Families attended as usual. ~...r... MEMOIR or .

Scotland with arms and ac coutrements, and embodied the regiment in Edinburgh on the 19th March, 1689, under the name of the Edinburgh-Regiment. So popular was this enterprise among the inhabitants, that the specific establishment of 800 men was filled up in four hours ; and the corps instantly took possession of the Parliament-house, which it continued to occupy till the supremacy of William and Mary. Was generally acknowledged, on the 11th of April following. The Duke of Gordon held the Castle for King James till the 13th June, when he surrendered it unconditionally, on his own part, 'but obtained favourable terms for the garrison. Soon after this event the Edinburg h Regi ment moved northward, tinder General M'Kay, and was engaged at the famous battle of Killie crankie, on which occasion its bravery in the action, and orderly conduct during the retrograde movement that followed, was specially noticed in the London Gazette. ‘ The Magistrates of Edinburgh thought so highly of the valour which their townsmen had displayed in this affair, that they conferred upon the regiment the exclusive privilege of beating up, at all times, within the city, without requesting permission thereafter from the civic authorities for the time being. In 1691, Leven's regiment was sent to rein force the army opposed - in Ireland to the adhe tents of King James, and. was present •;.t the ieige of Athlone, the battle of Augrim, the siege of Galway, and the memorable siege of Limerick, t which it sustained considerable loss. Imme diately after the surrender of Limerick, all the disposeable troops, including Leven's regiment, passed over to England. Next year it embarked, With about thirty thousand other troops, and oined the confederates in Flanders. In the subsequent campaigns, Leven's was present at ;he two sieges of Namur, the battle of Steenkirk, 4-1 which it suffered severely, the battle of Landen, and many other actions of less note. At the second siege of Namur 20 officers and 600 men were blown up by the spring of a mine. If the fictitious narrative may be allowed to confer ad ditional interest on an authentic one,• we would here remind the reader, that .Uncle Toby, and Corporal Trim, the two most prominent charac here in Tristram Shandy, served in Leven's- Corporal James Butler, the prototype of Trim, was wounded at Landen, and it was at the second siege of Namur that honest Toby received leis memorable wound in the groin. I During this war, the handle of the bayonet being solid, was screwed into the muzzle of the musket, so that when fixed, ti.e piece could not be discharged. But the French improved upon this mode so far, as to have the handle made hollow, to slip over the muzzle of the piece, in the fashion still in use. The superiority of this i , _vention was first experienced by Leven's regi ent. A French battalion, with bayonets fixed n the new manner, advanced against it iii action, t a r hen Colonel Maxwell, who commanded Leven's magining the enemy were about to charge, or dered his men to " screw bayonets." The French, however, *hen they came to a proper distance; . o_uddenly halted, and threw in a heavy-fire, which, for a moment, staggered their opponents ; but the Colonel promptly giving the word to charge, was as promptly obeyed, and the enemy were kallantiy driven out of the line. in 1697, the army returned to Britain, and the skeleton of the Edinburgh regiment was marched to Scotland, for the purpose of recruiting its ranks. , The massacre of Glencoe—that indelible stain Lit King William's memory—liming occasioned a partial insurrection. in the Highlands, it was thonght.requisite to reinforce the military posts in that quarter ; and the Edinburgh Regiment .(now Maitland's) was employed on this duty.— It would appear, from certain data, that the : regiment afterwards served in the Low Countries under the famous Marlborough, and in the West Indies, but of this we have obtained no authentic 'record. Be it as it may, we again find the Edin burgh Regiment in Scotland, engaged at the battle of Sheriff Muir, in 1715. In 1719, the regiment (now Shannon's) then stationed in Ire land, was embarked for England; and ultimately joined the expedition sent to Spain, that year, !under lord Cobham. A few unimportant .movements terminated that .bloodless campaign; and the regiment returned to Ireland in 1720. In 1726 .it was sent to ,Gibraltar, where it re mained, for ten years ; in . the course of which period that fortress was unsuccessfully invested for four months by twenty thousand men, under the Count de las Torres. _ _ itlftlttelaTi auxiliaries. e ..._ _,........ ..._ ...,.......... In 1743, the Edinburgh Regiment (Rothes') left England for. Flanders and joined the confe derated armies, shortly after the battle of Dettingen. It shared with credit in all the subsequent opera tions of the allied forces, and was present at the , memorable battle of Fontenoy, in which it had one officer, two sergeants, and fifty-two rank and file killed, and eight officers, four sergeants, and l , havinglriitehesrgoiumgehi itthe en r om e l t vi r s e c a so t e e nm d d lul f ic r iti o , s i o i ) i f seventy-two rank and file wounded. d i a a i i i n . i i:t b e e a s u i . t g l Ah that position along with some place was ultimately forced to sur render, but the Edinburgh Regiment obtained very honourable terms, and was allowed to march out with the honours of war. Soon afterwards the regiment was ordered home, to assist in sup pressing the rebellion which had broken out m :Scotland, in favour of the Stuart dynasty. It formed a part of the army that obstructed the advance, and harrassed the retreat o f the Pre tender from Derby to Scotland, and arrived in Edinburgh, by a somewhat circuitous rout, on the day the hostile armies met at Falkirk. The Duke of. Cumberland having assumed the command. in Scotland, th e Royal' army, i n _ cludin , the Edinburgh Regiment, advanced northward, and ultimately encountered the rebels at Culloden. In this decisive engagement it ma terially contributed to secure the victory to the King's troops, by the timely support which 4 t gave to t h e first line when it was outflanked by , the enem y. Lord Balmerinoch, who perished on the scaffold for his share in this rebellion, . had formerly served as a Captain in the Edin burgh Regiment, but had withdrawn from it immediately subsequent to the battle of Sheriff Muir in 1715, for the avowed purpose of join ing the Chevalier St. George. This formidable insurrection having been sup pressed, the Edinburgh Regiment and several other corps were embarked at Burnt-island, and returned to the Low Courtries, where they 1.
