SARDINIAN ATTACK ON TRIPOLI. STATE PAPER. FOR THE SUN MR. EDITOR—It is imposible to, read the 'STATE PAPER, written by the Secretary of State forthe Foreign Department without being struck with the importance of the composition, to say nothing of\the correctness and elegance of the language in which it is conveyed.. Mr. CAN NING on this, as well as on many other occasions has proved himself an accomplished Statesman, and the country may congratulate itself on pos sessing such an enlightened individual, as one of the Directors of the National Counsels. It may fairly be inferred, that though Mr. CANNING, Of course, submitted the document in question to bis colleagues, yet that the composition, was the entire result of his own clear and comprehensive 'mind. Never was an answer more complete in all its bearings, ever given to any State Paper from any country 'to another since the origin of civilized Society in Europe. Other Governments •may boast of their deep artifice and subtile policy, but it does not appear, as far as we may 'presume to decide by their conduct, that they can boast of any Statesman who in all the qua lities of a shrewd, elevated, erudite, and digni fied mind, is cdpable of taking so perspicuous, so just, so expanded, a view of the state of affairs, and the relative interests of nations, as characterizes 'the important Document alluded to. M. ZEA is an swered satisfactorily in all points. The conduct of the British Government is vindicated with truth, spirit, and dignity. The friendly over tures of this country to interpose between Spain and her revolted Colonies, renewed upon every occasion that seemed open for pacific interpo cition, and likely to promote an amicable result, was rejected by the Spanish Government till the independence of the Colonies was established de facto beyond the possibility of their ever again being reduced to submissidn under the Mother Country. History will record the forbearance of 'Great Britain to interfere in the dispute, except to promote a termination of the contest in a man ner satisfactory and honourable to Spain, and the Colonies that had thrown off their allegiance and assumed a national character, which in the end must place them on an equality with any State on this' side of the Atlantic. Happy Britain, to have such a man presiding over its foreign rela tions, and lucky, indeed, in having rescued him from the honourable exile of an Indian Goveht ment, howevs , r splendid, important, ostentatious, and likely to afford princely affluence to the venal desires and vulgar ambition of any ordinary ''Statesman.

(From the Etoile, dated Wednesday, Nov. 9.) PARIS, Nov. B.—Scarcely was the declaration of the companies who offered only 76 for the -Haytian loan known on the 'Change at London, ;when the American 6 per cents. fell to 72 ; and since, the loan contracted for 80 is asked for at 2f per cent. premium. The news which we find to-day in the Quoti dienne, of the formation of two new regiments for -the service of the colonies, is entirely false. A -new regiment of the line (the 51st) has just em ',harked for the Antilles, amidst cries of " rive Rol." The fall which the public funds have expe rienced at Amsterdam, is attributed to a project for a loan of fifty millions of florins, which the Government of the Netherlands is supposed - to 'intend to contract for the service of the colonies. .The speech on the opening of the session seems, in fact, to indicate some measure of this kind. (From the Journal dc Paris.)

A letter from Genoa ) dated the 31st. ult., gives the following translation of an official report of the attack on Tripoli, - published by the Ad miralty at Genoa: — The Royal naval division commanded by Chevalier Sivori, composed of the frigates the . Commerce, Christina, the corvette Triton, (the last was already cruising off Tripoli) and the brig Nereid, after having been detained some days by bad weather at Tunis, appeared before Tripoli on the2sth of September last. Chevalier Sivori sent into the port immediately the corvette Triton, with a flag of truce, bearing dispatches for the British Consul, informing him that the Commander of the division wished to go on shore to speak with the Bashaw Bey, if the Consul of his Britannic Majesty should think it convenient ; who having sent a most obliging answer, stating that he could come on shore, accompanied by two or iree of his officers, as the Bashaw was disposed to treat, anti could rely that himself and his officers would be under the guarantee of the British Go vernment, on the morning of the 26th, Chevalier Sivori landed and was accompanied by Chevalier Warrington to the British Consular-house, where his Highness sent his General, Haggi Mohammed, with authority to treat. During the discussion of the differences, this envoy manifested a great disposition to re. concile matters : and in taking leave of the Commander of the division he assured him that every thing would be settled in the next sitting; but the following day, to his great surprise, Chevalier Sivori saw himself presented with a note (in the pre sence of the British Consul) which was sent by the Bashaw Bey, containing sundry exaggerated and inadmissible proposals, because they tended to destroy entirely the treaty of peace and amity concluded by Lord Exmouth ; and finding by the con tents of this note_that all means of an accommodation had be , come impossible, the Commander of the division was with re luctance obliged to declare the conferences broken off, and after having begged the British Consul to take under his protection his Majesty's subjects, and having notified that if within four hours he did not receive more reasonable proposals he should commence hostilities, he retired on board. Having waited in vain for an answer, even beyond the given time, the Commander determined to attempt an attack on the port and town. The whole day was spent in making preparations to carry the same into effect, by arming at the same time the boats and launches of the division, which were . to act as concerted in this attack with the frigates ; but as the sea grew rough, it did not allow the large vessels to get within cannon-shot of the city, without exposing them to get stranded. The Commander being unwilling to abandon his main ob ject, which was that of setting fire to the flotilla of the Bashaw, composed of a 12-gun brig and two schooners, mounting six guns each, and to attack the pretended arsenal or dock of the Bashaw, lie reinforced the crews of the boats, arid gave the command of them to Chevalier Mamelli, Lieutenant, to whom he gave such instructions as could best insure the good result of the expedition, and avoid the disasters of h defeat. The boats set off amidst the cries, a thousand dines re peated, of " Live the King," leaving the officers and crews who had not been able to be of the party penetrated with sorrow for not participating in their dangers, as all seemed disposed on the part of the enemy to make a vigorous de fence of the port, as the continued firing of cannon from the batteries and of musketry, which lasted until eleven o'clock P. at., sufficiently indicated ; but such ostentation, made, without doubt, with the intention to frighten, produced a contrary effect, and only tended the more to animate the crews. At one o'clock after midnight the boats having rallied, they advaaced in silence towards the port, escorted by the Nereid brig, in three divisions of three boats each. The first was des tined to attack the brig, the second set fire to the two schooners, and the third had orders to proceed towards the dock-yard, and the sea-gate of the customs, to prevent enemies' boats and troops from coming out to assist their party. At half-past two o'clock a. m. the expedition was already under the point at the entrance of the port, when a sentry discovered them by the moonlight, and cried out, " To arms !" which was the signal of a general firing from all the forts, and of musketry from the vessels in the port, and of the troops and Bedouins encamped on the beach close to the walls ; but, instead of being checked by it, Chezalier Mamelli made the crews row the quicker, and, in spite of the grape shot, after five or six minutes, he was able, daringly, . to attack the brig, followed by the re.. mainderaff his division. A discharge of the fire-arms from his boat - within pistol-shot, and the rapidity with which she wasi3oardea,'tenderecl - him master of that vessel, after having killed the captain, the officers, and a part ofthe crew, the re mainder having jumped into the sea; after which he set her ad fire with the coMbustible materials he had taken with him for the purpose. The other boats, with no less bravery, went each to the post assigned to them, and' had the same good success. At half .past three o'clock a. m. the brig and the two schooners were in flames. The third division destined against the Dock-yard and the Custom-house-gates, intrepidly sustained the vigorous fire from the forts, and from the troops in the ports which they had gone to attack, put a great number of them hors de combat, and dispersed the remainder ; and if the sailors of this division had not been_ thwarted after they had landed, by unforeseen local obstacles, which secured the Dock-yard from a coup de main, the Bashaw world have had to lament much greater losses. After the the order of the Commander of the ivision had been so gloriously fulfilled by Chevalier I%lamelli, he made the signal to rally and to return on board according to orders.— This manceuvre, executed in the midst of the cross fire from the enemy, was a most dangerous one, but, was performed with the greatest sang frog and intrepidity, and crowned by the same success as had been the enterprise itself, which has only left us to deplore the loss of the gallant boatswain Capurro, who, in boarding for the first the brig, received a mortal shot, and had only time to speak theie few words—" I have done my duty; it remains to you to do the rest," and he expired. Not being able to dispense a just tribute of encomium to each of those who distinguished themselves, as it would be necessary to name all those who composed the crews, we shall limit our selves to say only, that Chevalier lliamelli, who commanded the expedition,: the officers commanding the divisions, and those of the boats, the gunners, sailors, and soldiers, behaved with equal bravery and valour, and it may be said they sur passed themselves. At half-past 5 o'clock, a. m. the boats had safely reached their ships; and Chevalier Sivori made dispositions to give a new attack with more efficacious means against the city, and which could not be foreseen by the enemy ; but whilst these preparations were proceeding, a Dutch brig of war which was in the port was seen to appear, and seemed by her manoeuvres to want to speak with the Commander of the division ; and, in fact, having saluted him with 11 guns (which was returned to him) the Captain came on board, and said he was come to present his congratulatory compliments, not less than those of the British Consul's, on the brilliant enterprises which took place on the preceding night. Chevalier Sivori, suspecting the true motive of the Dutch brig's visit, limited himself to thank ing the Captain for his attention, not less than for that of Che valier Warrington, and begged the said Captain to tell him, that meditating, as he was, a more decisive assault againt the city, it would not be long before he should see him again —that it was his intention to treat no more but on board his own ship. The brig made sail, and the division weighed to draw nearer The morning after the Dutch brig got under weigh again, and the captain came on board the commerce with Chevalier Warrington, authorized by the Bashaw Bey to conclude an amicable settlement on such terms as the Sardinian Govern ment could desire, which took place with a clause, however, on the part of the Commander of the division, that if within four hours it was not ratified by the Bashaw Bey, it would be considered as null, and hostilities would recommence, praying the British Consul, in such case, to have the goodness to retire out of the city with the other Consuls, not to be exposed dur ing the attack he intended to carry into effect. The Bashaw having ratified before the prescribed term the adjustment drawn up, which excluded all ill-founded preten sions set forth by the Regency, and which maintained, in all its integrity, the treaty made through the means of his Excel lency Lord Exmouth, his Majesty's flag was hoisted on the Sardinian Consulate-house, and saluted with 29 guns from the Castle, and by 21 guns by the division. Chevalier Sivori was afterwards invited to make his visit to his Highness the Bashaw, accompanied by his staff; and by those of the other ships of the division. This visit took place on the next day with the greatest solemnity ; and the Bashaw, out of excess of kindness, would give a gratuity to the crews of the boats. This circum stance makes one hope there will not remain any rancour on account of the events which have taken place ; moreover, that Chevalier Sivori having been obliged to act in a hostile manner, with an energetic decision, and as an experienced military sea man, has preserved, as far as was possible, the regards which the personal qualities of the Bashaw required ; and his High ness did clearly manifest the esteem he has for our august Sove reign, and his desire of being on good terms with him. Chevalier Sivori, bestows the highest praises on Chevalier Warrington, the British Consul-General, who, particularly after the expedition, has taken the greatest interest for the adjust ment which was concluded, as likewise for the happy result of the naval and military action which decided it. We believe (as the Gazette states) we shall gratify our read ers by noticing a trait, which demonstrates the profound sensa tion which,the intrepidity of our sailors has produced amongst those that were witnesses. When the corpse of the boatswain CaSsurio was landed to be buried, Chevalier Warrington, British Consul, is said to have taken him by the hand, saying, "There was a brave champion, and if thy Sovereign cannot any longer recompense thee, he will not certainly forget thy family." The Bashaw, who is no stranger to generous sentiments, would have the burial ceremony of this brave sub-officer made in a splendid manner at his own expence, at which theForeigneonsuls attended. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY—(Tuts DAY.) BOWES V. LORD STRATHMORE. The LORD CHANCELLOR was this day occupied nearly three hours in giving judgment in this cause, which has undergone so - much litigation.— His Lordship was pleased to confirm the former order, by which the money is ordered to be re stored. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Nov. 10. Mr. HEALD applied to have one of the causes which were Struck out of the paper on Tuesday last for want of attendance no %%restored. The Counsel stated the ground of his applica tion to be, that this cause stood tenth in the list, and that if the others had been regularly disposed of, the Solicitor would have been in attendance. The VICE-CIIANCELLOR said, that although this repre sentation induced him to accede to Air. Heald's request, he did so with great reluctance, lest it should be used as a prece dent to excuse the shameful negligence which was too often practised by the Solicitors of that Court. He would permit this cause to be restored; but he did it, intimating at the same time his positive determination in no future instance to swerve from the rule he had laid down. LANCASTER v. ATKINSON. Mr. HEALD and Mr. FitiLLIDIORE stated the case for the plaintiff in this cause, which now came on to be heard. It ap peared that a Mr. Atkinson, of Whitehaven, died, leaving two daughters, one of whom ,(with her husband) was the plaintif, and the other the defendant in the suit. Some years before his death he told his two daughters, that he intended to divide his property equally between them, and that it consisted of a quan tity of gold, which would be. found in a desk and escritoire, which he pointed out, At the same time he gave to the elder daughter, in. the presence of the younger (the defendant), the keys of those places, and told them that his will was deposited there also. The sisters proceeded to examine, and round in the several places pointed out by their father a sum of 717 guineas and a 7s. piece. This money was then put into a secret drawer, and the elder daughter remained in possession of the keys. About a year and a half before the death of the tes tator the defendant expressed a wish to see that the gold. 'was safe, and her sister went up stairs with her for this pur pose. The drawer was opened, and the money counted ; after which the defendant requested to see some gold rings, and when the plaintiff turned aside to show them to her, the de fendant seized the keys and locked the scritoire, saying, at the same time, " You have had these keys quite long enough—it is my turn now, and I shall keep them for the future." The plaintiff complained to her father, who desired the defendant to restore the keys ; but she refused then and ever since, until her father's death. During all this time the defendant never parted with the keys, having them fastened round her waist by a riband when she was asleep. After the death of the testator, Mr. Lancaster, an attorney, who had married the elder sister, asked the defendant to join in proving the will, and afterwards to meet for the purpose of dividing the property. She at first refused, but consented to do so on the following day ; when, in the presence of both the plaintiff's, the escritoire was opened, and to their surprise no money whatever was found. The de fendant exclaimed that she was robbed, and accused the plain tif of having taken the money, which the latter not only denied, but had brought this suit to compel her sister to pay ,over the half of that sum, which was deposited in the desk when the defendant assumed the custody of it. The depositions on behalf of the plaintiffs were then read, and were to the effect above stated. Mr. HORNE and Mr. FISHE n, for the defendant, read from her answer a complete denial of the imputations attempted to be cast upon her by the bill. She admitted that she had obtained possession of the keys in, the mannor stated, but denied that she had ever opened the escritoire excepting in the presence of the plaintiffs, or that she had in any way possesses herself of the money"lodged there. She moreover asserted her suspicions that the plaintiff had been in, possession of another key, and that she had by that means obtained the money. The evidence for the defendant stated that the plaintiff'had been possessed of a sum of 2001. lodged in a country bank, which she said she had saved by being her father's housekeeper. A mass of evidence merely circumstantial, and all tending to throw upon the plain tiff that accusation which she had brought against the defendant, was read. The VICE CHANCELLOR asked if it was intended to charge the defendant with having taken the money in the lifetime of the father; because, if so, it would be a capital felony. Mr. HEALD said, that it was charged to be after the testator's death. _ _ The VICE-CitArrcrt.Lon said, this case could not be de cided here, as well from its nature as from the conflicting evi dence. It must be tried in a court of law. The case was at all events one of considerable suspicion ; and he should there fore direct an issue to try whether the defendant possessed her self of any money, the property of the testator, contained in his escritoire; that the plaintiff and defendant should both he examined as witnesses on the trial, and that the Judges should be directed to endorse any special matter on the postea. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 10. KING AND QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. HILL V. STARIt. This was an action by the owners of the vessel in which the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, with their suite, were conveyed to England, against the captain, for filling up the vessel with those royal personages, instead of devoting the whole to the carriage of oil, and consequently neglecting to take divers whales on the homeward voyage. At the trial before the Lord Chief .Justice, at Guildhall, a verdict was found for the plain tiffs—damages, 2001., the value of 5 tons of oil. The AT'T'ORNEY-GENEit te r. now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. It stood quite uncontradicted, that the Captain was a man of excellent character, an able, enterprising, and skilful seaman, who exerted himself to the utmost for the benefit of his owners, from whom he had received no remunera tion for his last voyage. On that voyage he had given nu merous proofs of his courage and skill ; and had succeeded in taking many whales, several of which were killed by his own hand. There was no pretence that he was actuated by any improper or selfish motive in receiving on board the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands ; nor had he, in so doing, acted at all to the prejudice of the owners. It was true that the space devoted to the comfort of those individuals might have been filled with oil, and that some whales were seen after they came on boord ; but they brought with them wine, spirits, and fresh meat, in large quantities, which were necessary to the sustenance of the crew ; and, as to the delay, it would have been absolutely necessary to stop at some port for a supply of water. But this was not all. The King and Queen did not come to this country empty handed ; they brought with them a sum of 2,0001. in dollars, which was lodged in a banking-house to their credit; and he had now an affidavit of a person who had been directed by Government to attend on them, and show them such things as might be worthy their attention, that an application was made on behalf of the owners to Pokee, the di rector of their household for remuneration, for this very voyage. Now, if this was correct, it was quite clear that the owners could not sustain this action; for they could not adopt the acts of the captain for their own benefit, and yet sue him for those acts as breaches of duty. Indeed the captain, who had an in terest in the quantity of oil realized, as he had a right to a 12th of its net proceeds, had acted with unwearied zeal for his em ployers, and this action was his reward. Mr. Justice BAYLEY asked if there was any reason to sup pose that the captain took for himself any remuneration from the King ? . The AT;rditNEY-GENERAL replied none whatever. The Couaw granted a rule to show cause. COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. PRINCE AND ANOTHER •. LEWIS. This was an action by the lessees of Covent-garden market against Mr. Lewis, a potato-salesman, in James-street, for selling goods from his waggon at his door, and thus evading the tolls. At the trial, it appeared that a portion of the market was occupied by china-shops and stalls, not devoted to its legitimate purposes; upon which the Lord Chief Justice directed :Ilion suit, on the ground that the grantees of a market must show that its whole space was devoted to the public accommodation before they could complain of any one for selling out of its boundaries. • Mr. GURNEY now moved to set aside the nonsuit, on the ground that there was space enough left for the defendant had he chosen to send his waggon, and, that he had made no demand of any spot appropriated to other purposes.—The Courtgranted a rule to show cause. HOWELL V. YOUNG. This was an action on the case tried at the last Gloucester Assizes, before Mr. Justice Burrough, against an attorney, for lending the money of the plaintiff on security which proved inadequate. Most of the counts charged the attorney with negligence only, but in one count he was charged with fraud. The transaction took place more than six years before the corn mencement of the action ; and, besides the general issue, the statute of limitations was pleaded. At the trial, the Learned Judge expressed a decided opinion that the charge of mere negligence was barred by the statute; but as it might be questioned whether the same principle applied to a case of fraud, he left the question of fraud to the jury, with a strong expression of opinion that there was not the slightest pretence for the charge. Under this direction the Jury found for the defendant. 111 r. Cultwoon now moved for a new trial, on the ground that where fraud was imputed the statute did not apply, and that the Learned Judge left the question of fraud to the Jury, with an absolute expression of his opinion, and seemed asto nished at their hesitating as to their verdict.—The COURT granted a rule to shew cause. COURT OF CO3IIIION PLEAS, Nov: 10. The Court sat in Banco till half-past 12, but no case of any interest occurred. Soon after the sitting of the Court, a prisoner, who had been confined for debt in tiFleet, was brought up on his petition, and discharged undefthe Insolvent Act. At one o'clock the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE held sittings at Nisi Prius at the Guildhall, London. There were several cases tried, most of them undefended, and none of them of any interest. GRIIViSTEAD 77. SHAW. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE, in reference to this ,case, (which went off at the sittings before them, from the non-at tendance of the special jury,) said, that on the next sitting flay (Thursday next) some arrangement should be made for bring ing it on. By the delay which occurred the other day, the patties in the cause had been put to upwards of 1,000 guineas expence, which he wished those who caused it might have to pay. On this day week the day for the trial would be fixed. ARCHES COURT, NOVEMBER 10. HANNAM V. HANNAH. Dr. LUSRINGTON stated in this case that several exhibits had been given in support of it, being a suit instituted by Mrs. Harriet Hannam, of Putney, in Surrey, against her husband, for a divorce, by reason of cruelty; various acts of which were shewn in the libel to have been committed. Dr. ARNOLD objected, on the part of Mr. Hannam, to the admission of various pleas contained in the libel, on the ground that they were of an extremely light and frivolous nature. The libel pleaded that she had brought her husband nearly 4,0001. per year ; to which he submitted that there was a plain answer, that one thousand pounds of that sum had been settled on her for pin-money. It was also pleaded that the husband had endeavoured to get possession of the pin-money, and a small unsettled estate. That he was in. the constant habit of behaving harshly, of using language of the worst descrip tion, and acting with such violence and cruelty as to endanger the life of Mrs. H. These pleas, Dr. A. submitted, were not sufficiently specified to enable the husband to contradict them. One plea was, that on going into a garden to order some ivy to be removed, the husband followed and abused the lacy ; an other was, that he went, in 1824, the - year after they were mar. ried, to an estate of hers at Mount Clare to shoot, and that he would not allow this lady to acompany him; another, that he forced her to get up in the night to procure some Seidlitz'e powders, on which occasion she caught an extreme cold. These were pleas which he (Dr. A.) apprehended could not be seri ously maintained as matters of legal cruelty ; and though on one ofthese occasions the husband had committed one act of personal violence, it stood alone. The ninth and following articles pleaded, that he frequently ordered his wife to fetch things, to dine alone, and that he re fused to permit her to have any intercourse with her sister when in a dangerous illness, thought he subsequently brought her into the room where her sister had expired, without previously ap prising her of the fact, which had been known to him. The Learned Advocate comniented on other articles of a similar description, and said he did not think they should Le gone Into, on account of their frivolous nature, and trusted the Court would reject the petition altogether. Dr. PHILLISIORE followed on the same side. Dr. LUSHINOTON, in reply, admitted that many of the acts in the libel were, in themselves, of a trifling nature ; but in the case of Evans v. Evans, Lord Stowell admitted more minute acts, to prove the habitual conduct with which the husband conducted himself. It was expressly stated, that on one occa sion, after using insulting language, the husband rudely pushed the lady into a room, and with so much violence, she fell down, and was obliged to have her arm in a sling for a considerable time. This was followed up by many minuter acts, which in duced this lady to claim the protection of the Court. Sir J. NicHoLe said he would admit the libel to proof, as it appeared to him the acts complained of had taken place within a year after the marriage, in which the lady brought her husband a handsome fortune, and he committed those acts with a view to force her to part with a portion of her property that had been settled on herself. The minute acts shelved the animus by which the husband was actuated ; and as the situa tion of the parties did not make the expence an object, he would admit them all, with the exception of those parts in which the marriage settlement was pleaded. But it might he allowed to lie in the hands of the Register, for the benefit of both parties. The substance would no doubt be admitted- by the husband. The libel admitted. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CUTTING AND STABBING A HUSBAND.-I ester day Alice Carter, a respectable looking woman, was charged, at Queen-square Office, with stabbing her husband, a chandler and coal-dealer, in Rochester-row, Tothill-fields. The wit nesses examined stated, that, after some quarrelling between the prisoner and her husband, the former was pushed out of doors by her husband, and told that she should not remain in the house. She, however, got in again, and inflicted a severe wound with a large knife in his abdomen, from which his bowels protruded, and he now lies in the hospital in a hopeless state. On securing the prisoner, she expressed a hope that she had wounded him "to perfection." In her defence, she ad mitted she suspected that he wished to have another woman in her place, and seeing him come home from an opposite direc tion to that he stated lie was going in, she noticed the circum stance to him. He then began to push her about, and swore she should not remain in the house any longer. He tried to throttle her, and pushed her down into the street. When she got up, in her wrath she inflicted the injury. She was re manded until the result of this unfortunate business is known. (Farther Particulars.)—This mottling the unfortunate man's bowels were replaced, and the incision sewed up, but his death is expected every moment. Mr. VirfuTE, the Magistrate of Queen-square, is taking the poor fellow's deposition before his death ; and ie unhappy woman, who is in Tothill-fields pri son, appears quite resigned to meet any punishment that may be inflicted on her. Two young Gentlemen behaved in so dis orderly a manner at Corsham chapel on Sunday evening, that the Minister was obliged to close the service : they were par doned on acknowledging their fault. The penalty for this offence is 501., or 12 months imprisonment.—( Bath chronicle.) ACCIDENT.—On Thursday last, Mr. ROBERTS, Solicitor, of Bedford-row, alighted from his cha riot to enter the shop of Mr. DUNCOMBE, book— seller, Little Queen-street, Lincoln's-itm-fields. He desired his coachman to wait for him at the opposite corner. The carriage had not long taken the desired station, when the horses draw ing an artillery waggon took fright, and proceed ed at the top of their speed dowtavard, when they came in contact with the chariot, overturned it, broke one of the horse's legs, and dreadfully injured the other. Fortunately, the coachman jumped off, and received no other injury than the fright attending so shocking an occurrence. WO' EB.RAT u)I.—IA the Anecdote yesterday resrecting 311. O.
