LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1827. CALEDONIAN CANAL. The late official report on the subject of the Ca ledonian Canal is by no means of a pleasant descrip tion. A clear revenue could not have been reason ably expected from that source; but it is certainly calculated to afford great facility and accommodation to ouf.commerce even in time of peace; and in the event of war with the United States, or the North ern Powers, the benefit of it must be very great in deed. It will then offer not only a speedy, safe, and convenient passage, but also complete security ' from the ; enemy's cruisers, over a very extensive range of coast, adapted, above all others to. the pur poses of naval predatOry warfare. In insurance alone, this Canal will then save the country annually double the interest of the money it cost. The first year this navigation was, opened, although t h e dePtla of water was but small, the resort of shipping was very considerable; indeed greater than could, have been expected under all the circumstances, and there was every reasonable prospect of its rapid in-, crease; butunfortunately, and as we thought at the time unwisely, the dues were doubled the year fol lowing. They were raised from a farthing per mile, including the locks, to a halfpenny, and the imme diate consequence was,, that, excepting vessels con nected with the•country through which the Ca , :al passes and its immediate vicinity, the intercourse through it may be• considered to have ceased, and the benefit which the nation should have obtained from the expenditure of • a million •of the public money to have been lbst. The above report proves this ; for the amount of revenue is little, if at all, increased by doubling the dues, and it will most , probably fall below its present mi serable amount. The remedy, is, however, very simple and obvious; and it is indeed strange that a system so perfectly calculated to renderinugatortall the purposes for which this magnificent work was undertaken, should be persisted in. If the object is to favour the Forth and Clyde Canal, why was the Caledonian Canal ever made? .We trust that more need not be said on the subject ; a change is leafy' called for, and we cannot doubt that it will speedily. take place. The American navy will soon be our most formidable rival, and we must bestow more at tention on our western coast than was hitherto necessary. We rejoice to observe, that light-houses :are' now building on the very remarkable group Of rocks called Skervore, off the island of Tyree. That extensive and dangerous range is perhaps one of the most destructive shoals anywhere to be found, and it lies in the direct tract of our commerce between the North of Europe and Ireland, as well as the West of Scotland and of England. The hiss of lives and property on these fatal rock's is immense ; and the largest of them affords a good site for a light-house, being always above water. Barra head also demands attention, and we are happy to understand that the Commis sioners for Northern Lights are of this opinion. The utmost care and consideration is required in placing lights in the most proper situations ; a circumstance which was at one time too little attended to, as the recent shifting and rebuilding of so many light houses on our coasts demonstrate. It is curious to observe, from the names and local situations of ruins on the shores of the Hebrides, that when this coun try was possessed by the Norwegians it was much better lighted than at present.—CakdonianMerculy. MADRID, JULY 16. I have visited almost every village within ten miles round Madrid, and it would hardly be imagined that there are such desolate places in the immediate vicinity Of what is called a fine capital. At Carravandiel, which is not distant , mor4, than three mileS, the inhabitants seem td tally composed of• beggars and . thieves. The po pulation must be . about a thousand ; and the houses or rather.huts, in which they are huddled together, present a picture of filth and desolation : not easily td be - surpassed. In the centre of the place there is what is called an inn, the entrance to which is merely an opening in the bricks ; and the sleeping room appropriated to travellers is on a level with the stable. It is very rare that any provisions are to be had ; and altogether, with out much stretch'of fancy, a person might sup pose himself to be at some remote and uncivi- lised part of the globe. It is true that there is a public- garden just before the entrance to the vil lage, which, in summer time, is fashioniibly at tended ; but nobody ever thinks of entering the village itself, unless obliged to do so. A few nights ago I sought shelter from a storm at a sort of road-side inn, not four miles irom t he city ; and it is a fact that they had no fire, no water nothing but bread to eat ; and if I 'had wanted a bed, I must have slept in a mere dog-hole—to which, no doubt, all the family had access—or have taken up my lodging in the :stable. Even at places to w hick numbers Of persons re sort occasionally. upon parties of pleasure, the accommodation is not much better. At the village where the .Escurial is situated, about thirty Miles from Madrid, for instance, the inn is miserable in the extreme ; and a cit.- lcumstance occurred there only, a few days since. which shows that it is : not politic to resist any Icharge, however enormous. It may be said gene rally, that in proportion to the want of comforts at a Spanish inn, is the length of the bill increased. Two English gentlemen, who had a very indiffer ent dinner, supper, and bed, resisted the heavy demand made by the landlady the next morning.; but, as she refused to take less, they put down about double the value of the accommodation ; and, as the man who had driven them in a chaise refused to take them back..until the bill Was paid, they took their departure for Madrid on foot.— They had riot, however, proceeded above a mile, when they perceived that the whole town were at their backs —men, women, and children—to the number of about a hundred. Among them were about ten soldiers, or Volunteer Royalists, armed with muskets, and others with sticks, swords, and knives. A more fearful array of half-starved ragamuffins could hardly have been got together, and the attitude assumed by some of them was so menacing, that you would have supposed, as my informant says, that they had been in pursuit either of an assassin, Constitutionalist, or some other desperate character. The landlady, in deed, had given no regular account of the delin quency, but had summoned every soul she could get about her to go in pursuit of two men; and, to use her own expression,' to bring them back again, " dead or alive." Of course the gentle . men, upon hearing a man cry out that, if they did not stop, they would be " fired upon," felt no inclination to proceed, and they were escorted back between four armed men, like felons. One of the gentlemen, I hear, is a British Officer ; but this character di& not prevent their being treated with the utmost indignity, and they were . both locked in the guard - house several hours, while the landlady explained the matter to the Alcade. She at first denied having received any money at all ; but when the prisoners explained the matter, and'ihe bill was produced, she ac knowledged that a sum had been put upon the table by one of the gentlemen before they left the inn. It is only justice to t ac h tn e oiwte Ma gistrate towards im partiality to rarely f s o a r y , , upon exercised lie withS painoking a t h items, he bill was ext ra v agan t, ,h ut ;had visedfl'oerigsanietdrhse - prisoners, as the most politic plan, " to appease both the landlady and the multi tude" by paying the deficiency. This being done, they were set at liberty,. and, quite con trary to their expectation, and the general prac tice, no money was extorted from them, though the soldiers seemed by no means pleased at get ting nothing for their trouble. From the expe rience which I have had of inns in the different parts of Spain, I would strongly recominerid the traveller always to pay the bill without demur, for, iu nine disputes out of ten, the decision of the Alcade will be in favour of the innkeeper, consequences worse than delay will ensue, and costs perhaps exacted to treble the amount of the original bill. Bargaining beforehand is out of the question, though it is the usual practice in France ; and, besides, a man who arrives late at an inn in Spain is glad to get a bed at aq price, for travelling by night is any thing but advisable. The inn keepers area sort of privileged class ; and it is well known that in many places, where a traveller it; almost a rarity; they could not keep up their houses unless they made the few pay for the many., I could dame towns where the duties exacted by the convents, and other imposts le vied, amount to about seventy per cent. ; and thus it is not to be wondered at that exorbitant charges are often made for wretched entertain ment. In the instance in question, you may judge of the accommodation from the fact that, when the chambermaid came to make the beds, she gratuitously told the gentlemen that, as the bedsteads were filled with vermin, they had bet ter sleep upon the ground ; which was followed by the one, and his friend slept upon the table at which they had dined ! People continue to talk a great deal of high . - way robberies here, and two hats were found a day or two ago, upon the road to Alcala, about twenty - miles from Madrid, which are supposed to . have belonged to travellers who had been as sassinated. Mr. Lamb was 'returning in a ca-• briolet, with a friend, a few evenings ago—but I did not hear in what direction— a nd, when at about ten miles from the city, a gate-keeper ad vised them to take an escort, as two persons had been robbed and ill-treated upon the same stop a short time previously.

This Bridge was opened to the public on Satur day, the 14th ult. It being known that the Duchess of Clarence would pass it on that day, a number of carriages and equestrians, with a crowd of pedes trians, assembled at a very early hour to meet her Royal Highness, and witness her passage over the Bridge. At half-past six the Duchess appeared in an open carriage, attended by Colonel Cooper, &c. Loud and repeated cheers saluted her Royal High pegs, and after receiving the compliinents of the Earl and Countess of Morley (who were also in waiting to receive her Royal Highness), she passed with her suite over the Bridge, followed by the multitude. The Bridge has 6s arches of the following di mensions :—The centre arch is 100 feet i span, and rises 14 feet •6 inches; the arches on each side the centre are 95 feet each, and rise 13 feet 3 inches ; and the extreme arches are 81 feet, and rise 10 feet, which gives the roadway a gentle curve of five feet between the abutments. The roadway over' the Bridge is 25 feet wide, With a foot path on each side three feet six inches wide, formed of coarse quarry block paving. At the abutments the road way widens to 40. feet. Opposite the Toll House ' which is a Grecian Doric, in black marble , on a fine granite block, we observe the following inscription : 'chine Pcntem Senatus Auctoritate uscepttnn Novas et CoMmodas vial recludentem, JOHANNES COMES DE MORLEY, Stria Sumptibus Struenduni Cur. vit Opus inchoatum A.D. 1824, Absolutum, A.D. 1827. I. M. PENDEL, Architecto. We must conclude by offering our tribute of praise to the liberal views of the Earl of Morley, who has added this very useful and most beautiful structure to the many which previously adorned our vicinity.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.-EXETER, AuG. 7. Lord Chief Justice BEST and Mr. Justice BUR ROUGH entered this city yesterday evening, and opened the commission. At eleven o'clock this morning they commenced the regular business of the Assize, the Chief Justice at the Civil side, and Mr. Justice BURROUGH at the Crown side. The business is generally unimportant; that of the Crown Court this day was . quite devoid of interest, the calendar containing no crimes beyond the ordinary, chiracter. There are 31 civil causes. CHARGE OF COMPOUNDING A FELONY. HUNTER, V. GREEN. This was an action brought for the recovery of a sum of 3i. 95., paid by the plaintiff to the defendant under the following circumstances. The plaintiff was in the habit of travelling at stated periods through this county to sell tea. In September last lie arrived at Axminster, to meet his customers in that neighbourhood, where he had a room at the Bell Inii. Upon his arrival there, he enquired for his old apartment, and was told that it had been lent to Mr. Green, for his cloth, who was also a traveller in that line. The key was, however, given to Hunter, who, with the assistance of a person named Allen, deposited his tea in this apartment. On the next morning, however, Green suid that he observed some of his cloth and kerseytnere had been cut, and it must have been done by the plaintiff or his assist ant, against whom he took out a warrant for felony, and had them, brought before a Magistrate, who said that they had better settle it, or else they must be committed, as the defendant swore positively to the loss of his cloth. The plaintiff being-anxious, how ever innocent, to avoid this extremity, yielded to the suggestion of the Magistrate, and paid the .money, which he now sought to recover back, it having been illegally extorted from him. The constable who apprehended Hunter and Allen and brought them before Mr. Tucker, the Magistrate, said, that Green swore nobody had been in the cloth-room besides these two. His account of the cloth he lost was very vague, for he could not specify the exact quantity, and only conjectured the theft from the cut Of the end piece. Green said nobody would steal less than the measure of a coat or breeches, and he therefore presumed he had lost so much. There was no cloth produced before the justice, or found anywhere, yet his Worship said the case was proved, and the parties had better settle the matter quietly, or else he must commit them - . In this state, they retired, and Hunter paid Green 3/. 9s. It was the Magistrate who suggested the settlement of the bainess, and they retired to a üblic-house, drank together, shook hands, and parted. A tailor named Squire, who scald he had seen the cloth on the day before, and also on the morning when the charge of felony was brought, declared that for a month there had not been, according to his judgment, any cut off the brown or the Oxford brown; but, certainly, for the blue, there did ap pear to be tt pattern fresh cut in an awkward mariner. It was also proved that Green said, when he went home, he would compare the measure of his cloths and send an account of the supposed deficiency, which, however, had never been done. The totitT held that there was clearly no felony committed, therefore the defendant must repay. the money he had improperly received. If a felony bad been co mmitted , then the money could not be re covered.—Verdict for the plaintiff, Damages 3/. 9s. ASSAULTNOTT V. QUICK. Mr. COLERipa; stated the case. This was an action to recover damages for an assault. Nott was a lady's servant ; Quick was a barber. In June last, the plaintiff was - walking in the streets of South Molton, when he was attracted by a crowd, on ap proachilig which, he saw two dogs fighting; having a regard for one of them, he stooped down to se parate the combatants, when the barber dragged him away, assaulted him for interfering to spoil the sport, and offered, in a boxing attitude, to get up a fight with the defendant," if he stopped the fun of the dogs. Heavy 'damages were not sought in this cause : a small and reasonably compensation would meet the ends of justice. George Seile resided at South Dlolton, and knew both the parties. He remembered the dog-fight in the street on the 7th of June : several persons were on the spot ; witness and Nott were walking by, and Nott went into the crowd to separate the dogs, heard the verse that— " Those who in quarrels interpose, " Must sometimes wipe a bloody nom" which now it seemed was to be applied to dogofights.. Give whatever damages you think such a-case' ought to have—in regulating the amount I cannot assist you.—Verdict for the plaintiff, Damages Ono penny. PENDKLLT V. BROWNS AND SLAYS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the.defendants for an assault and false imprisonment. Browne pleaded " not guilty," but Sltme suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. WILLIAMS stated the case. The plaintiff was, he said, a person in very humble life, a drainer, and had cohabited with a woman, to whom he had since been married. He now complained of an assault and imprisonment, which was committed by the defendants, under a pretence of making Pen gelly marry the woman he was living with. But the fact, according to the Learned Counsel, was, that the offence was committed through spite to the in- , dividudl, and not to force him to marry—a process, by the way,very unlikely to attain its legitimate ends, when imposed by force and violence upon any man. He did not ask for large damages ; but lie did seek protection for a poor man against the illegal exercise of power by a parish officer—an appeal which he thought an English Jury would alway sanction. Robert Hill, a servant of Humphrey Slane, one of the defendants, remembered seeing the plaintiff brought by Browne as a prisoner to Shine's house, where Browne said, " I have got the old chap at last. I would not fail of having him for 501." They went into .Slane's where they' called each other rogues and liars, and both appeared to have strenu ously attempted to prove their case. When Pen gelly asked, " Why he, was taken, where was the warrant ?" " Mr. Coham 's word is warrant enough to take up such an old thief as thou," said Browne. It was then agreed that he should be taken before a Magistrate, who discharged him. On his c ross-examination, he said, that Pengelly's woman was receiving parish relief. Several other witnesses deposed to the same facts. Mr. Coham, a magistrate, said, that Pengelly and this woman had been before him, and Browne like wise, to make this matter up, when the plaintiff expressed his willingness to do so; but declared that his attorney would not let him, as Browne had cash, and he must have some out of him. The Lord Clad Justice BEST, in charging the Jury, observed, that the class of attorneys, like every other, had its various elements. One set of attorneys were, he knew, men of the highest respec tability, and of the greatest benefit to the commu nity, while there was another, which really was the greatest curse that could afflict any community, because they went about stirring up litigation, for the purpose of squeezing costs out of the pockets of those who had any money to give. In this case, undoubtedly, the plaintiff must have a verdict, be cause it was the high constitutional doctrine of this country that no man, whatever were his character, could be detained in custody without lawful cause, and here there was not sufficient legal ground of detention. But in giving such a verdict they were called upon to estimate the real amount of injury which the plaintiff had sustained, and how many farthings they could count for that purpose, for one at least they were bound to give. It was the great est curse of the poor laws, that they allowed profli gate fellows like this plaintiff to cohabit with infa mous women, and then quarter themselves and their progeny upon the industry of a parish for support. It was for the Jury to say whether they would en courage attornies to distribute themselves all over the country, in seeking actions of this kind. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da mages one farthing. The Chief Justice BEST said he would certify, that this-was not a case to carry costs. So far at least he would stop the craving for proceedings of this kind. It would be, however, a. question, how far this certification would affect' the defeindant who had suffered judgment to go by default: NORTHERN CIRCUIT..—CORK, Ave. 7. William Baynes, who had been convicted before Mr. Justice Bayley of stealing books from the shop of Mr. 'BarelaY, a bookseller of this city, and rgainst whom several other bills of indictment, charging him with similar offences, had been found, was brought up to receive the sentence of the Court. The sentence was, that he be imprisoned in the city gaol for one year. The criminal business both for the city and county having been disposed of, Mr. Baron Hullock assisted Mr. Justice 'Bayley, by trying some of the .Nisi Prius causes in the civil conrt. THE ASSIGNEES OF WILLIAM TUTE AGAINST JAMES AND JOHN TOTE. This was an action of trover, in which the as signees sought to recover 6021., the admitted value of seven dyeing vats, which they claimed as being the property of the bankrupt, who was a dyer and d prove cloth-dresser at Leeds, or as being at the time o f t h e bankruptcy in his reputed ownership. Mr. BkoUGHAM Mr..fatigasoN conducted the plaintiff's case. It was that the com mission, which was duly enrolled, was issued on the ith of October, 1826, and that, the assignment to the plaintiffs was executed shortly' afterwards : the act of bankruptcy, and the debt of the petitioning creditor, Mr, Morson, were also proved. Mr. J. WILLIAMS, on behalf of the defendants, who were the brothers of the bankrupt, said, that in 1822, long before the bankrupt was insolvent, he had been desirous of opening an account with Messrs. Perfect and Co., bankers, but those gentle men had refused to accommodate him to the amount he wanted, or indeed to any amount, without they had good security, upon which the defendants exe cuted their joint bond to the Messrs. Perfect its 4,0001. conditioned to indemnify them for all ad vance they might make to the bankrupt; and the defendants took from the bankrupt; in September, 1822, an assignment of a portion of his property, including the vats in question ; in which assignment it was provided that the defendants should suffer the bankrupt to retain possession until they paid, or were called upon to pay, any sums on account of the security they' bad given to the bankers. After' this arrangement the bankrupt dealt with Messrs. Per fect and Co. for four years, until those gentleminp in June, 1826, became clamorous for the balance then due to them; and threatened to sue the de fendants upon their bond if they did not liquidate it. The defendants, in consequence, accepted a •bill, dated the 24th of June, 1826, for the balance, and consulted with their attorney, who, tinder the as signment from the bankrupt, put a sheriff's officer into his premises, and this 'officer left his niece in possession of ,the vats. The greater part been of the bill, which was fdr upwards f 6001., had paid, and the defendants were li a ble to the bankers for the remainder of it.' These 'facts, Mr. Williams contended, were sufficient to make out the defend- a nts' title to the vat s, which had not been removed from the premis es, merely because they were prin cipally valuabl e as attached to them. 'sh e jur delivered6o2. a a 1 verdictsthe for the plaintiff, a n d were about damages, when the C ou nsel on each si de arran g ed that the damages s h o uld be nom inal, as the vats had not b een re moved. y t ogi ' PATTISON V. CRAVEN. This was an action of assault and battery, in which the defendant pleaded not'guilty. Mr. BROUGHAM said that the plaintiff and defend ant both attended a manor court at Gunnishorough, on the 11th of May last ; the plaintiff acted, as the by-law man, and the defendant es the-bciliff :of the Court. The defendant, a sheriff!' officer, was pos sessed of very great strength and weight, and me - by no means unused to the exercise of the powers with which nature . had provided him; he was not apt to bear his faculties , too ineckly.
