Several witnesses Were called to prove that the sltins were perfect when sent to the plaintiff, and were spoiled. when returned. Mr. Sergeant TARDY in his reply contended, that 'the tender was only made for the purpose of getting a receipt for the whole 351., by paying 241. I Is., Which could at any time have been proved to be due to the plaintiff, by calling Arrowsmith, the de fendant's foreman.

When, how ever, questioned by his Lordship, he replied that, he thought he would have paid the 24/. I Is. without receiving a receipt for :tin. whole. He had not, however, qualified his answer in that way, till he had seen the object of the question, and it was evi dent therefore, that the tender was conditional.

THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 27.—Yesterday the Lord High Admiral dined with Sir J. Lyon, who bad a large party to meet him. On the King's health being drunk, a royal salute was fired from the . battery, and on the Duke's health being drunk, a royal salute was fired from the - battery, and a Yin-de-joie by the 58th Regiment, who were stationed on the lines.. This morning, at nine o'clock, his Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral embarked at the King's Sallyport in the Admiral's barge, attended - by the Admiral; General, and Staff, and all the Captains in their respective barges, following in procession according to •seniority. Imme diately on entering the barge a royal salute was fired from the saluting battery ; he then went on board the Lightning steamer, when all the ships •in the harbour manned their yards and fired a royal salute, which was also fired at the same time from the King's Bastion. On the steamer reaching Spithead, a salute was fired from the ships there, ancl their yards manned. His Royal Highness then eni;- bat ked on board H.M.S. Undaunted, • CaPtain Clifford, which ship was taken in tow by the Lightning and Comet steamers, for Plymouth. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. Kean junior,—after his recess of a month or more—came forward last night as Frederick, in Mrs. Inchbald's well-known play of Lovers' Vows. We regret, however, to state, decidedly, and emphati-, tally, that he altogether failed—failed in energy— failed in tact—failed in conception of character— failed in short, everywhere but in his presumption. He must serve an apprenticeship—as Garrick did before him—at the provincial theatr:!, e , re he again ventures to step forward as the representative of leading characters on the London boards. His one only tolerable scene was that in which he met his father, in the fourth act, and which the deities:— whom we are sorry to see becorning so despOtic at our large - theatres—abundantly applauded. Jones's Fop, was characterized as usual, by all that master's tact and energy ; Harley too was diverting, and Miss Foote, as she generally is, interesting. Mr. Cooper didWildenheim. Yesterday a deserter from the Grenadier Guards was brought before our Magistrates, after an ab sence of seventeen years from his regiment, during ten of which he has sailed to the Greenland and Davis' Strait; fisheries, under the command of Captain LEE, of the Lee, of this. port. After examination he was committed. Bull Packet. ELOPEMENT. -At late - hour on Monday night, Mr. G. RUSSELL, our chief officer of police, was sent for to the house of Lady --, of this town, t o con sult upon the most efficacious method that could beadopted for the recovery of her daughter, who bad eloped the same evening. It was discovered that a chaise had been hired from - the George Hotel, by a young lady, who took the Gloucester ro a d, an d who,.in the course o f her journey, contrived: to change her female. habiliments for those of the bolder sex. On this intelligence Mr. R. prodeeded to, Gloucester, where he contrived to learn that the fair fugi tive bad taken a chaise for Stroud ; thither, accordingly, Mr. R. repaired, and soon discovered that the object of his anxious search was safely lodged at the Golden Heart. The denottenicnt of the scene was now fast approaching ; Mr. B. commenced his search, but, by an unlucky mistake, entered the chamber of a lady who had arrived in the town for the purpose of meeting her husband. As may be anticipated, this intrusion produced a violent effect on the nerves of the poor lady, who, in the agitation of the moment, uttered sundry exclamationi of alarm, to the great discomfiture of Mr. R. In the midst of the confusion occasioned by this mal-apropos intrusion, the chambermaid hastened up stairs to the scene"of action, to inquire intp the cause of the up roar, when observing, from the manner of the lady, that she could not be the object of Mr: 11:'s inquiry, she im mediately recollected (with the characteristic quick ness of her profession) that a fair and delicate young gentleman had .arrived there that evening, who wore ear-rings,. a • circumstance which she set down as the last new fashion imported from the Conti nent. The truth now flashed upon her mind, and she con ducted Mr. IL to the Chamber of the fair Knight-Errant, who had, in the mean time, deserted her couch and taken refuge l> •neatli it. In the hurry of the moment, however, she had suffered one of her delicate feet to protrude from its hiding place, which immediately attracted the eye of Mr. R. by its whiteness and symmetry, and induced him to request its possessor to favour him with a view of the figure to which it formed so appropriate an appendage : the request was refused rather peremptory at first, but Mr. R.'s manner was so persuasive that the reluctant fair one agreed to a capitulation on the terms of Mr. R,'s retiring from the room, observing, that he would only have a similar task to undertake again, as she was determined to takewith t ut b e e a a fi a r r s e a t b o e p t p te o r r t a u d n a i enterprise.

NAVARIN, OCT. 22. His Majesty's Brig Phi lontel. -I dare say, before you receive this, you will have heard of the event of which I am going to give you the particulars ; I am sure nothing will astonish you more. On the 20th of October, the combined fleets: went into Navarino harbour, and engaged the Turkish fleet for five or . six hours, till dark ended it. We had been cruizing off Navarin' for some time,. When r in the forenoon of the , 2o6, we observed the Admiral make the signal— Prepare to engage the enenpt." We were all ready in a very short time, and'in we' went with a fair wind, and (as it had been concerted) the English Admiral dropped his anchor alongside Ibrahim,Pacha's ship; the Genoa, Albion, and one or two English frigates, engaged the rest of the centre of the_ enemy; the French engaged the enemy . to the right of their centre—the Russians to the left of their centre; the Brisk, Mosquito, and us (the Phdome/), 10-gun brigs, and Dartmouth frigate, were to take five or six fire-ships the enemy had for the purpose of burning our fleet. We ran up alongside one fire-ship, and dropped, our anchor there with her alongside a Turkish 18-gun brig close on our starboard-bow, and two large corvettes and one frigate (all Turkish) a little way from us on our starboard-beam.. The action began by one of - the fire-ships firing on one of the Dartmouth's boats with small' arms, and she blew up just as two of the Dartnzoutls's boats went alongside, which .killed. and wounded some of their men; then the French Admiral fired one of his . great guns, and the action regularly commenced: Directly we saw the French Admiral fire, we be gan to fire atour fire-ship alongside, and the Turks on board her set fire to her, and tried to leave her in two boats; but our Marines fired upon them with small arras, and killed and wounded most of then. We then fired with our great guns right at the fire ship's water-line; and in less than five minutes had the.pleasure of seeing her go doWn, and I think she blew up as she was going down, for her, main-mast rose right up out of the water, and then sunk again into the water; we then commenced firing upon the brig, and had the pleasure of seeing her strike to us, and then down she went; we cheered as they both went down ; our shot we could see went through both sides of them. After we had sunk the brig, we, with another 'English' brig, commenced firing upon one of the corvettes and the frigates; and the corvette struck, and sunk in a short time:— Just at this moment, two of the Russian frigates came in and anchored between, us and the Turk ish corvettes , and frigates , for there were three or four of than 'firing' away upon us like fury,' and we must have been . sunk if they had not come in. (You 'mint remember that all the fleet did not 'come in together, but some at a time, which accounts for the Russians coming in at the time they did), When we found we could not fire at these frigates any more, we *slipped our cable, and einoved farther shore towards the battery. forgot to tell you that the town of Navarin is very strongly fortified; and the Whole tine we were fir ing at the, ships this battery was firing upon us,. and a' shot from it went through our main-mast, which it very nearly carried away. We then commenced with two French line-of battle ships, and the.Canibrian English frigate, to play upon the battery, which we continued firing at till the action ended. There is an account of 'what his Majesty's ship Philoniel did. Now I will see if I can tell you something about the Asia. At the beginning oiithe action she had two line of-battle ships and three deuble-banked frigates lir ing upori her, which cut . her 'up dreadfully, and she had her mizen-mast shot away ; but I had the plea sure of seeing her return it upon them in such a manner that Ibrahim Pacha's ship blew up ; the other line-of-battle ships, too, and the three frigates, either sunk, blew up, or were taken. I have not, much more time, because Lord In- : • , estrie is going imme overland with despatches, and he will very soon_ be, of. lle said he would take this for me. I will give you an account of the number - of ships and weight of metal we had, and what the TUrks had. We have had some heavy losses in some of our ships • but we (Philoniel) have escaped with ongireast:lcilled and five or six wounded. The Asia, I believe, had ,about seventy men killed and wounded ; her master, Captain of Marines, pilot, boatswain, and two or three midship men, killed; but I do not know much about the killed and wounded of the 'fleet ENGLISH FLEET.'

People may talk about ships blowing up, but it is impossible -to form any idea of it, it is so truly grand. I suppose about forty or fifty blew up, and the rest sunk, or were taken. lam afraid I must now end, for there is no more time, and the Captain will soon be gOing. For goodness sake, I beg you will send me out the newspaper; with an account of the action in•it. P.S.• We had a shot through our mast, which very nearly took it away altogether; but we have repaired it ; and we • had a shot in our hull ; but we escaped very well, considering we were in the worst of the action, almost; and it was only owing to the Turks firing so badly that we were not sunk. MIDDL7ESEX"IdUNATIc ASYtUAL—Yeste day the Committee of Magistrates appointed at- the recent general meeting of the' . Magistracy of the county, to su perintend the erection of an Asylum for the reception of Pauper Lunatics, held their first meeting at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell. Mr. CONST, the Chairman of the Sessions, presided on the occasion. The meeting being a private one, we are only enabled to state, that the Commit tee resolved to advertise forthwith for a suitable piece. of ground whereon to erect the building, of not less than 25 1 They : also s , where e i s s a a n, p e l e m n t e it supply apply of f ogro oplans,d acres in extent, and in a healthy situation, near the Metro at.e.eley ations, and an estimate of expellee of buildings for the iaudable purpose. A detailed report of the proceedings of the Com mittee will, we understand, be presented to the Magis trates at the Sessions. We arc sure our readers will-re joice that active measures have commenced for the•purpose of relieving, as far as may be, the sufferings of our fel low-creatures, who may be afflicted by this worst of all hu ,'man maladies. YOUTHFUL IMPOSTOR.--A case of imposture, by 'a boy not eleven years of age, has come to our know ledge, which, as it is by no means the first time a similar trick has been successfully played off, we think it right to lay before the public. A lady in the outskirts of the town met a boy, who accosted her, and told her a most pitiable tale. His parents, he said, had resided at Manchester, but dead, and he was left entirely. friendless and dee. titute.: He had 'begged his way, he stated, from Man chester to Hell, hoping to meet with some employment he had only arrived here • on the preceding day, end had passed' the night in the streets, being, unable to procure sufficient money to pay for a lodging. He complained that he hall bad nothing to eat that day, and was almost starved. The lady doubted his word, .and entered into codyersation with him, when his answers to all the questions she asked were di • ‘' d lam so pertinent , and a pp arentl y ingenuous, that she could no longer questi on t he truth of his narrative, and tecte where she gave him his dinner, and feel turn 'Min' out in destitute condition, allowallowed o re Lis iul7ts to turn remain. till she could make some inquiry respect i ng h i m . The boy conducted himself with so much propriety, that she felt perfect confidence in the truth of his tale, and having provided him with .a suit of clothes, kept him for two or three days. At the end of this time, and e• having bt c ti i o r n cu al n s t o n o c l e a s t le t d h t i o s the discovery that lie had been at the na for, he immediately recoguised th himm aster as a boy who een was i n n the school a s h or t time, and w ho wa s then much given to deceit and . b egg i ng: 'On his parents b e i ng v i s ited, they were found t o b e d ece nt,. mall shop ; respe ctabl e persons, keeping, a and froM them it was learnt that the boy, notwithstanding eVery , endeavour on their part to prevent it, had got such a habit of begging, that they found it impossible to break him from it. His name is JOHN Jolt lox he is a fresh - cO lour e d rou nd-faced boy, be tween , 10! a n d 11 years old. His manners and voice. are • pleasing, and his whole appearance, gives an air of truth to hi 4 imposing falsehoods. -”.gull Packet. • FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. . . . . • • , .

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET COURSING MEETING. - - NEWMARKET, WEDNESDAY M0a.:441NG.--Till within a day or two of the time at which the Meeting was fixed to commence, great fears 'were 'entertained that the frost would require its adjournment ; indeed, unless horses, dogs, and hares, could have gone on skates, coursing wbuld have been quite out of the question. Fortunately a change took place in the Weather on Sunday, and a gentle thaw since then has made the ground in very fair erder, and en-. abled the Meeting to begin at• the usual tinae.., The Mem hers of the Club assembled here on Monday included the follow in%; well-known Sporting Gentlemen :---Lord Strad - broke, Mr. De Burgh, Mr. Scott Stouehewer, Mr. Thorp, Mr. Rust, Mr. Alston, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Gent, MC. Edwards, Mr. Golding, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Redhead, Mr. Tower, Mr. Barker, Mr. Buckwortli, Mr. Allington, Mr. Proctor, Mr. Hoskins, and. most of the leading Gen tlemen of the County. Being the first Meeting in the kingdom, it is almost su perfluous to state that a vast number of the best-bred dogs are here ; their running yesterday was good, but we shall lefer any detail till the number of competitors for the Gold Cup be reduce!:',. Aerely observing that the courses yester day were good, hares stood well before the dogs, and, in most instance defeated them. The matches were, on the whole, well a .oested. The Club,DiLuer at the Rutland Arms, last night, was very numerously attended by the Members, and was served up iii the most satisfactory manner. In the evening the matches,' &c. for this day were fixed. The first day's coursing was in the First Chippenham Field, and came off thus : • FOR. THE COLD CUP. Ist Course—Mr. Scott Stonehewer's.

A chace of a novel description took place here on Sa turday : a.hare having been put up in a close belonging to the Hon. C. Wyndham, where several jockey boys were kicking up their heels, the pack of pedestrians gave poor puss a severe run; and it was not till after several whiffles that she contrived to escape from them into the premises of Mr. Edwards, the trainer, where she jumped down a six-foot well, upon the head of a man who was at work there. Although considerably alarmed at first, the man secured his assailant alive. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, TIMM O'CLOCK.

This fight, which has eicited a good deal of interest among the Fancy .of Birmingham and Liverpool, took place ou Tuesday—commencing on the race-course, near Newcastle-under-Line,'in Staffordshire, and terminating by moonlight, in a field behind the Horse and Jockey, at Wore, in Shropshire, close to the borders of Cheshire. Samp son is well known in the London Ring as a scientific, slashing fighter—having fought Josh Hudson twice, Jem Burn, Jena Ward, and Ned O'Neal ; by all of whom, with Ale exception of Jem Burn, he was beaten. He beat Bir mingham Hall and Others ; and, in fact; stood high in. the Fistic . School. Spencer is a Hibernian, known by the cog nomen'of the "'Mud Island Devil." He is a novice in the Ring, having only beaten Manning, of Manchester; but was considered a game and powerful opponent to any ' mart of his weight and inches. His weight is about 13 st. 1 lb. ; and in that respect, as well as in length, he had the advantage of Sampson. The article:s . stipulated that the men should fight half-way between Birmingham and Li verpool ; and Newcastle-under-Line was fixed as the place .Of rendezvous. Thither both proceeded on Sunday, ac companied by their'friends. -All looked well for business, and on Tuesday morning an excellent ring was formed on the race-course, about twh miles from the-town, by Tom Oliver, Ned T -.-kman, and other ingenious caterers for the milling profes -. • By twelve -Inck an immense crowd had assembled— the Potteries, ' course,• furnishing their, quota, and at one, the men enten - d the ring ; Sampson attended by Tom Oliver and Young Gas ; and Spencer, by Donovan and Avery. Hostilities soon commenced, Sampson, in the first round, taking the lead in hitting; but Spencer finish ing by giving bins a severe cross-buttock. Three more rounds were fought rather to the advantage of Sampson, w ho showed decided scientific superiority, both as to hit ting and g eneralship, when a " Beak" entered the arena, and put his " veto" upon further proceedings. He was ‘ a l v a ir c ig kn i o iee w i l l e( a lg p e p ( l l ie t d be to " h P y ° a - ICtiliee'anrtgeesyds;:avonifilihoilfsna'N.ielceee'sPvictiar's:-;;:lpe;e,cbtih; t e a nii was forced, " reluctantly," 'he said, - to perform his duty. A " move" then took place back to Newcastle ; front whence, as the articles specified that the battle was to he fought ant on the day, it was agreed that the belligerents should proceed to the adjoining county of Salop, and thither, at three o'clock, the cavalcade set out, consisting of carriages, postchaises, and horse men, in very many instances two and three mounting one horse. It was half-past four, and quite dusk, when the men en tered the ring Sampson all confidence, and Spencer bear ing prominent Marks of the punishment he had already re ceived. The moon gave her aid in the absence of. better light, and the sport again commenced in right earnest.— Both men sheaved determined courage; but Sampson dis played' most judgment and 'temper. He met the wild rushes of 'Spencer With' caolness and preciSion, and as he came in, hit him desperately on the nob, right and left; and, after' fighting thirteen rounds, by arepetition of that ,ort of discipline, brought him to astand still. He was, in fact,. " deaf to time';" and in this second edition of the mill, Sampson was declared the winner in fifteen minutes, his receipts being comparatively light when compared with those of Spencer, whose head gave evidence of the tre mendous force of his opponent's ambidexter powers. First ..nd last—the fight lasted twenty-three minutes. The met, returned to Newcastle the same night—SampSon enjoying the society of his' friends, while poor Spencer retired to bed, and had ample occupation in endeavouring to reduce his contusions. - Saropson can now be backed against Big Brown, o Bridgenortk, fin• two hundred, and seems fully to have re *tined confidence of his Birmimrbarn friends. Tie ha, also declared himself a willing vistonier for Wbiteheadec Bob. The weather, upon _the whole, although cold, was fa-, ' vourable ; but the catalogu e o f v ich.situdes among tht "long . trotters7 was numerou s , of the Pottery trampers were " thrown ont" by the move' into Shropshire. .

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The opinions of men are, by this time, pretty generally settled, as .to the -serious nature of the blow which has. been struck at the Ministry of Charles X., by the remarkable, and we may fair ly add, the unexpected issue..of the recent eleetions. It would.at the aawg time be ab sur d t o sa y, th a t the public cAtriosity, or rather anxiety, has not been carried to the most painful pitch, by tha uncertainty in which the whole world is plunged, with regard to the policy to be adopted by the French Ministers,—Whether they are to resign' , and tranquillize the national spirit, or face the storm, and become partakers in a rum of which no living creature can foretell what may be tilt, consequences, or who the, victims. One senti ment, however, may and ought to be indulged, without waiting for any needless counsel from futurity—namely, the most sincere a dmiration for that noble body - of Frenchmen by whom a prospect so full of hope for the friends of good and upright government in all countries of the earth has been created. When we consider the various means of the French Ministers, whether of direct force, intimidation; or corruption, by which they . were enabled to act, and have,- in truth, most diligently and daringly operated, upon those of their countrymen whom, frinn the po's session of any rights or privileges under the con stitution, they have thought it worth their while to influence, and when we also recollect the rapid and apparently successful series of encroach ments by which the existing Government has from year to year, nay, with far shorter and more frequent intervalS, beta heaping up still further accumulations of power, either elementary or complete and convertible, in its own hands, turn ing every thing to the immediate and marketable service of the Crown and priesthood,—we are astonished at the moral resources of that nation which has been able, under such trying circum stances, and at a notice even fraudulent, for its alternate vrsp insults op indecorous riroatriec a and brevity,idrtturieisi triumphant pi in to an at getp. resistance e n o p p l the materials oa l . : uo a d t r i e I r o i o a rif l s s t r o o e f % u i a s l and terrible tepieeso produced herself. rcrsdeedi a ly: f li o le .e e s Ns . e ffroate : hee - : : c nigw h thing aibeiG: itbouhvatea coincidence Government, odious, abruptlyl half contemptible, the eye eyes system, 1 violence, I,iri cedool half u cae l oeln d ff, and of shallow deceit, to the spirit and . the understanding of the coun try, could have raised in every quarter of France so keen a sense of provocation. On the other hand, how could any thing short of the most ge nerous indignation, combined with almost unex ampled resolution, integrity, zeal, steadiness, harmony, and. wisdom, have enabled the electoi's of France, 100,000 individuals, scattered over an immense territory, separated, not by physical barriers alone, but by local interests, and an assi duous interception by the agents of the Crown of their endeavours to communicate with each other—how could properties less effectual and admirable than these have brought about a prac tical co-operation so perfect as that which has been proved to exist among the French electors, that is, among all the men . of all denominations of property in France, sympathizing with the lower classes, and virtually representing diem, by a return of an . absolute majority of legislators, in opposition to the Minister who had spent whole years in preparation to' defeat them irre coverably ? This is for France a glorious tri umph, and powerful guarantee of their deareSt rights hi. future generations of Frenchmen. If, however, a contrast, unfavourable to the general character of English electors, be suggested to any man by the,grave and dignified exterior, no less than by.the . manly and determined substance of the , present victory achieved by the elective power' of France, we may remark, in the first place, that the comparison is instituted, not quite fairly, as we think, between the gentlemen of one country, and the mob of another. All Englishmen, the lowest, whether voters or not voters, bear an active part in every election : in France,' the privilege of voting is confined to 1 the upper classes, and to the more•respectable of the middle. In England the election is a public spectacle open to the whole world, where every man proclaims aloud the object of his - choice, and frequently the reasons for it ; whereas in France the ceremony is of the most quiet and sober descrip tion. There are no questions put to candidates, no explanations of their conduct demanded by their former c onstituents, face to face,—no ap ' peals to popularsentiment,—nO struggle of nerve, nor display of talent ;—the vote is written on a slip of paper—the mystery and security of a ballot attend the whole transaction ; there is no room for excitement—no provocation to violence—no offeroiolflfgpEeeti temptation to excess. Besides all this, re have not seen for a long course of years the question put so broadly in England, as it now is to the bosom of every Frenchman—" Will you . live in absohne slavery, or be at once "a free people f" have not had the same imperious necessity for defiance.l(C3-‘;a'uetori duty ‘ho; 'elae : r , vai . ng i el t.ll:.l3:bei t'solbStitoleh,:oeyequally same noble energy First acting as one man for their existence. prin ciples have not, for more than a century, been at neighbours motive h a t v o e t:i i i i a l n t i i i i i i i s i t greaty aga it; r s i t sis the o ß f British i b ia e l e ly n b i i .o n r c e l e in d g twonhtliat theirby which issue amongst us, as they have been . ever since the set own at restoration of the Bourbons in France.

The whole of Mr. Peel's co nduct to the memberswas framed on this mistaken suppos ition, and h e ne g lected consequently those- opportnnitiea of which other men similarly circumstance d would 'have availed themselves, for cult iv ating their g oqd-will. This was particularly remarked at the last annual . visit of examination to the Oh. servatory in Greenwich-park, which lq r :P oe l attended, to the general surprise of the mem bers, who then knew nothing of the honour which he intended to confer on the Society. —His *Mean-our on that occas'on was far from being cordial or conciliatory : on the con trary, he teaintained'a haughty riserre of manner, and kept hiniself very much alOof from the m em bars, dui* the examination. - Nothing denoted that he saw in those present, man whom h e con
