The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had to apply to their Lordships for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against Charles Molloy Westmacott and Ann Durham, for publishing a libel in a newspaper called the Age on the 28th of March last. He made the application on the part of William Holmes, li*q., a gentleman who was well known. He was a member of the House of Commons, and Treasurer to his Majesty's Ordnance. He (the Attorney-General) would read to their Lordships the passage in the newspaper be fore he stated the mode in which he brought home the connexion with the Paper to the parties against whom he moved. It purported to be an answer to an article published in the Courier Newspaper, and was in these terms : " About a fortnight ago the Courier put forward, upon the best. authority, a statement that Prince Leopold wa s determined not to guarantee the payment of the Greek Loan; and, on another occasion, that Capo d'lstria was taking measures to embroil matters in Greece. These re ports, particulArly the former, had, of course, great effect 'upon the Greek stock, which tumbled down 7 or 8 per cent. in two or three hours, and they have never entirely recovered since. It is now pretty generally believed that the whole is a lie from beginning to end, got up for stock_ jobbing purposes ; and the Courier, finding itself somewhat in ill odour in consequence, endeavours to brazen it out on Friday night as follows." Then the article purports to quote some passages from the Courier Newspaper thus With respect to the article of the 18th of March, we re peat that the information it contained was derived from a good authority on the spot. We believed the statement at the time, and we continue to believe it now." The writer in the Age then resumes. He says—" No doubt it wAs derived from very good authority on the spot,—that is, on the spot of the Courier office,—a most excell,nt authority, and an old and well-known Greek he is.—(Laughter.)— In plain English, the article was written, actually written, by the illustrious Billy Holmes himself, the identical whip per-in of the House of Commons. That was the eminent authority, the magnificent Billeyholmesios, a Greek of the island of Sligo.—(Great laughter.)—And Willirm, having done this feat, marched off to the Stock Exchange, a n d began doing a bit in Greeks for himself, when he had them at the due point of depression, and will eventually make a good thing of it. This is all very well for Holmes, but it is not quite so well for the Courier. The people about it ought to recollect the scrapes it got into in Mudford's time in this way." This was the libel. He (the Attorney-General) had first of all the affidavit of Mr. Holmes himself, which stated that he knew nothing of the article in the Courier; that he never wrote any such article, nor any thing like it ; and that he never, either di rectly or indirectly, made any communication to.the editor of the Courier respecting, any such transac tion as that to which the article referred. He stated, further, that he had never been the holder of any Greek stock or other foreign stock ; that he had never speculated in foreign stock; that ha was never, to his recollection, in the Stock-Exchange, and certainly never there for any purposes of busi nes. There was, therefore, no pretence for this article as applicable to him. Mr. Holmes also stated, that in his capacity of Treasurer of his Majesty's Ordnance, large sums of money passed through his hands; and he conceived, therefore, that such an attack as the present affected him the more seriously; besides which, it involved a charge, basely false, of corrupt dealing with the public money, and au endeavour to obtain money by unfair means. The other affidavits stated the manner in which the two parties against whom the present application was directed, were connected with the Age newspaper. In the affidavit at the Stamp-office, Ann Durham was stated to be the publisher and sole proprietor, and her name only appeared at the office. The affi davits as to Charles Molloy Westtnacott stated these facts :—A short time before the publication of the libel, Mr, Westmacott having met at Drury-lane Theatre, Mr. Scanlan, of the Courier-office, re ferred to the article which had appeared in the Courier, and said he knew that it was written by Mr. Holmes, and he (Westmacott) meant to publish an attack on him (Mr. Mimes) for it in the Age. Mr. Scanlan assured him that Mr. Holmes knew nothing about the article, and recommended him to be cautious in what he did. Mr. Scanlan the next day mentioned what had passed to Mr. Macintag g art the editor of the Courier, a n d h e b e i ng ac quainted with Mr. Holmes, thought it right to ap prise that gentleman of what Mr. Westmaeott had str,ted. Mr. Holmes told Mr. Macintaggart, that if any thing should be published on the subject alluded to, and his name made use of, it would meet with his disapprobation, and desired him to express his intention to prosecute. Mr. Macintaggart accord. ingly mentioned this to Mr. Scanlan; and Mr. West macott having called at the Courier-office again, a conversation took place between him and Mr.,Scan lan, who told him that the statement that Mr. Holmes was the writer of the article to which he had before referred was false, and he had Mr. Holmes's authority to say so; adding, that if, after this, he thought proper to publish any thing re specting Mr. Holmes, he would do so at his peril. Mr. \Vestniacott said he would rather lose 1,0001. than not publish the report he had heard; and that he could depend upon it, as he had had it from an eminent person. He then asked for the Courier, in which the article referred to had appeared, and Mr. Scanlan having refused to let him have the pa per, he said he should go to Peele's coffee-house and copy the article from the tile there. These facts were stated in the affidavit of Mr. Scanlan; but in 'ease they should not be thought sufficient to show that Mr. Westmacott was the author of the libel, he (the Learned Counsel) was provided with three other affidavits. In one of. them the deponent stated that he had been employed to serve Charles Molloy Westmacott and Ann Durham with a sub poena :n a suit in Chancery;—that he . understood they lived together as man and wife, and that Ann Durham, on being served with the process, an swered to the name of " Mrs. Westmacott." The affidavit also stated that Mr. Westmacott, in the answer which he put in to the bill in Chancery, swore that he was conductor and editor of the Age: and there was, besides, the affidavit of a short-hand writer, who had been present at a trial in the Court of Common Pleas, in which Mr. Westmacott was examined as a witness; and it stated, that on that occasion, Westmacott swore that he was the con ductor of the paper in question. These facts, the Learned Counsel submitted, were sufficient to fix Mr. Westmacott with responsibility for the article complained of.—Rule nisi granted. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MAY 5. IMPORTANT DECISION IN FAVOUR OF CREDITORS. A rule was made a few days ago, calling upon the London Dock Company, and a person named Gif ford, who was in 1823 discharged in this Court, to show cause why the sum of 761. 104. should not be paid by the London Dock Company in discharge of the debts of Gifford. The circumstances of the case were these :—ln 1822 a sailor, named Sweeney, lodged at the house of Gifford, who was then a cow-keeper and milkman, in \Yapping-, and being about to go on a voyage, the sailor empowered Gif ford to receive his monthly money during his ab sence, so as to form a fund for him on his return. When he returned to England he found that Gifford had received about 301. for him; but Gifford refused to pay it over to him, and the poor fellow was obliged to bring an action for its recovery, in which he succeeded in getting a verdict. The debt and costs amounted to 76/. 10s. It now appeared that the insolvent Gifford omitted all mention of the lease of his premises in his schedule, and that his premises having been required in the London Dock improvements, a compensation Jury had lately awarded him 2201. for the lease, and 2501. for the good-will. The former was not at present payable, owing to the title not being completed, but the Lon don Dock Company were prepared to pay the 2501. The seaman, upon hearing that Gifford was likely to receive a large sum of money, caused a notice to be served on the London Dock Company not to pay any money to the insolvent, and now made this ap plication, calling on Gifford and on the London Dock Company to show cause why the latter should not pay the amount of debts on Gifford's schedule. Mr. WOODROFFE, on behalf of the seaman, was heard in support of the rule obtained on a former day; Mr. CRESWELL appeared for the London Dock Company; and Mr. COOKE for the insolvent. The COURT, after hearing the arguments of all the Counsel, ordered the sum of 761. 10s. to be paid by the London Dock Company out of the funds in their hands belonging to Gifford, to the assignee, in discharge of Gifford's debts to the sailor, who had himself been appointed assignee by the Court at the hearing in 1823. Thus by means of this Court an insolvent, dis charged so long ago as 1823, has been made to pay 20s. in the pound on all the debts in his schedule out of property subsequently acquired.

Mr. Hubert, proprietor of the Hyde•park hotel, 'being examined by Mr. ADAM, stated that Mr. and Mrs. Shakerly were in the habit of frequenting his hotel. In 1826 they resided there for six weeks, and occupied three apartments. H. Williams had been for many years acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Shakerly. He called to see them in July, 1826, at the Hyde-park hotel. On enter ing the sitting-room he saw the Marquis de Har rare coming out of another room (which witness described). It appeared from the plan and the ex planation of Mr. Hubert, that the apartment out of which the witness saw the Marquis coming was the betl-room which Mr. and Mrs. Shakerly occupied. Witness saw Mrs. Shakerly coming. out of the same room, immediately after the Marquis, but by a dif ferent door. William Derby had been acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Shakerly since 1817. He had lived with them at Boulogne for three weeks, and as far as lie had an opportunity of judging, the parties h,id lived very happily together. He had seen them at Paris, where they had lived at the house of the Duke D'Arany, the father of Mrs. Shakerly. After some further immaterial evidence, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he thought the case had been sufficiently established. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, tht second reading was fixed for Monday next. A meeting of the county of Edinburgh was held on Frith) , last to consider the Bill now before Par liament for altering the Scotch judicature, when it was unanimously resolved that a committee be appointed to ex amine the contents and probable effect of the Bill, and to report upon it , and any matter connected th erew i t h, to t h e er()LCLE ii, theßCtYnU:'ting in July next ; and that the Duke of BeccLEUQH, LORD LIEUTENANT, and Sir GEORGE CLERK, the member for th e county, b e requeste d to use eve ry means in their power t o preven t th e Bill p ass i ng into a Law this Ses , oon, in order that tints might be given for the full consideration of a measure of so much im portance to the people of Scotland. A short time ago, a small spaniel bitch, be longing to Mr. JOHN COCKETT, of Small Gains, Dengie, in this county, had a litter of puppies, which were soon after consigned to a watery grave. The mother, thus bereaved of the objects of her maternal tenderness, placed her affection on a young duck, about a week old. The hitch devotes the whole of her time and tenderness to her little charge, and flies with great fierceness at other ani mals of the canine species, on their too closely approach sng her protegee. The young duck nestles under her foster mother, evincing great attachment to her, and run ning to her for protection whenever apprehensive of din gen.—Essex Herald. Steam-boats were not in general use in England until the year 1814, although they had been known in the United States of America some years previous as public means of conveyance. The following return will show the gradual in• crease of that wonderful invention in this country:— Years. Vessels. Tons. Men. The gradual increase, therefore, from the year 1811 up to 1830, is 331 vessels, making 30,566 tons, and employing 2,870 men. Of this number, about 170 ply up and down the river Thames, be ween London, Gravesend, Margate, Ramsgate, Newcastle, Leith, Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, Ham burg,and St. Petersburgh; the finest of these vessels belong to the General Steam Navigation Company, on board of which every accommodation is offered to passengers. STEAM VESSELS IN FRANCE. The first steam-vessel known in France %vas in 1819, when the old Leith steam-boat, named the Carron, was purchased by the French Government to run as a mail-packet between Calais and Dover ; it was afterwards thoroughly repaired by Monsieur de Rheims, and named the Henri Quatre. Since which four others have been built by the same en gineer, the machinery being previously obtained from England. At Havre and Rouen there are six, at Bordeaux two, and one at Marseilles, which runs between that port, Leghorn, and Genoa; besides these there .are twelve Government steam-vessels, and four nearly finished, being built at Toulon, which are engaged for the expedition to Algiers. In 1820 an iron steam-boat went from London up the Seine . to Paris, as a Company was then about to be formed to keep up a regular communi cation by water between the two capitals, but in consequence of the tide in the river Seine only running two miles above Rouen, and the shallowness of water, that undertaking was found impracticable, and it was abandoned. '1 here are, however, two small steam-boats that ply between Paris, Rouen, and Havre in the summer season. They are obliged to have their paddles astern, instead of on the larboard and starboard as in the regular steam-vessels, in consequence of the want of a sufficient draught of water, and the rapidity of the current. In Russia there are two—on the Rhine six, and one in Holland. In Spaia there is one, formerly the Royal George, which partly belonged to Sir J. M. Doyle, and left London in 1823, it plys be tween Seville, Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga, two in Italy, four in Greece, and two belonging to the Paella of Egypt. At Calcutta there are two, the Enterprise, which left London three years ago, and the Irrawaddy built at Calcutta of teakwood. In the Uni►ed States of America in 1812 there were 170 steam-vessels generally of very small dimensions, since which, according to the last re turns up to 1829 they have increased to 320, em ploying upwards of 2,000 men.—lntelligence. SIR M. HALE. The character of Sir Matthew Hale as a Judge was splendidly pre-eminent. His learning was profound ; his patience unconquerable ; his integrity stainless. In the words of one who wrote with no friendly feeling toward s hi m , « hi s voice was oracular, and his person little less than adored." The temper of mind with which he entered upon the duties of the Bench is best exemplified in the following resolutions, which appear to have been composed on his being raised to the dignity of Chief Baron at the re storation : " Things necessary to be continually had in rernern bratuT : " P. That in the administration of justice lam in trusted for God, the King, and country ; and therefore, " 2. That it be done, 1. uprightly ; 2. deliberately; 3. resolutely. " 3. That I rest not upon my own understanding or strength, hat implore and rest upon the direction and strength of God. "4. That in the execution of justice I carefully lay aside my own passions, and not give way to them, however pro voked. " 5. That I be wholly intent upon the business I am about, remitting all other cares and thoughts as unseason able and interruptions. " 6. That I suffer not myself to be prepossered with any judgment at all, till the whole businesi and both par ties be heard. " 7. That I never engage myself in the beginning of any cause, but reserve myself unprejudiced till the whole be heard. " 8. That in business capital, though my nature prompt me to pity, yet to consider there is a pity also due to the country. " 9. That I ba not too rigid in matters purely con scientious, where all the harm is diversity of judgment. " 10. That I be not biassed with compassion to the poor, or fa our to the rich, in point of justice. " 11. That popular or court applau,e or distaste have ro influence in any thing I do, in point of distribution of justice. " 12. Not to he so solicitous what men will say or think, so long as I keep mys , lf exactly according to the rule of justice. " 13. If in criminals it be a measuring east, to incline :a ureic). and acquittal. " 14. In criminßis that consist merely in words, where no more harm ensues, morietatinn is no injustice. " 15. In ciinninals of blood, if the fact be evident, seve rity is justice. To abhor all private solicitations, of what kind soever, and by whomsoever, in matters depending. " 17. To charge my servants, 1. Not to interpose in any matter whatsoever ; 2. Not to take more than their known fees ; 3. Not to give any undue precedence to causes ; 4. Not to recommend counsel. " 18. To be short and sparing at meals, that I may be the fitter for business." Under the influence of resolutions like these, the conduct of Hale on the bench appears to have been almost irreproachable.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopredia, Vol. VI.

He died in ignorance of the real grandeur of his discovery ! Until his last breath, he en teriained the idea that he had merely opened a new way to the old resorts of opulent commerce, and had discovered some of the wild regions of the east. Ile supposed Hispaniola to be the ancient Ophir, which had been visited by the ships of King Solomon, and that Cuba and Terra Firma were but remote parts of Asia. What visions of glory would have broken upon his mind, could he have known that he had in deed discovered a new continent equal to the old world in magnitude, and separated by two vast oceans from all the earth hitherto known by civilized man ! and how would his magnanimous spirit have been consoled, amidst the afflictions of age, and the cares of penury. the neglect of a fickle public, - and the injustice of an ungrateful king, could he have anticipated the splendid empires which would arise in the beautiful world he had discovered; and the nations and tongues and languages which were to fill its lands with his renown, and to revere and bless his name to the latest posterity!"—Family Library, No. XL—Columbus. GILDING OF EMBROIDERY. EXTREME DIVISIBILITY OF MATTER.--.. In the manufacture of embroidery it is necessary to obtain very fine gilt silver threads. To ac complish this, a cylindrical bar of silver, weigh ing 360 ounces, is covered with about two ounces of gold. This gilt bar is then wire -drawn, as in the first example, until it is reduced to a thread so fine that 3,400 feet of it weigh less than an ounce. The wire is then flattened by passing it between rollers under a severe pressure, a pro cess which increases its length, so that about 400 feet shall weigh one ounce. Hence, one foot will weigh the 400th part of an ounce. The proportion of the gold to the silver in the original bar was that of two to 360, or one to 180. Since the same proportion is preserved after the bar has been wire -drawn, it follows that the quantity of gold which covers one foot of the fine wire is the 180th part of the 4000th of an ounce ; that is, the 720,000 th part of an ounce. The quantity of gold which covers one inch of this wire will be twelve times less than that which covers one foot. Hence, this quantity will be the 8,640,000 th part of an ounce. if this inch be again divided divided into 100 equal parts, every part will be distinctly visible without the aid of microscopes. The gold which covers this small but visible portion is the 864,000,000:h part of an ounce. But we may proceed even further ; this por tion of the wire may be viewed by a microscope which magnifies 500 times, so that the 500th part of it will thus become visible. In this manner, therefore, an ounce of gold may be di vided into 432,000,000,000 parts. Each of these parts will possess all the characters and qualities which are found in the largest masses of the metal. It retains its solidity, texture, and colour ; it resists the same agents, and enters into combination with the same substances. If the gilt wire be dipped in nitric acid, the silver within the coating will be dissolved, but the hol low tube of gold which surrounded it will still cohere and remain suspended.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. THE AUTHOR OF " LACON." It is melancholy to reflect that men of the greatest genius are frequently the victims of their own waywardness, vices, or indiscretion:. The most brilliant talents too often eclipsed and ren dered useless to society by errors of conduct..— . There is, perhaps, no human being now living who affords a more striking example of the truth of these remarks than the Rev. C. C. Colton, Lae rector of Kew, and author of one of the most valuable works in the English language, exclusively of many other scattered and fugitive productions. This gentleman, it may be remem bered, disappeared under very mysterious cir cumstances about the time when the murder of \Veare by Thurtell and his associates caused such an extraordinary sensation in the public mind. It was well known that the Rev. Mr. Colton was in the habit of carrying large sums of money about his person, and that he was not unaccustomed to visit those dens of iniquity commonly called " Hells," in some of which he had met with John Thurtell. These circum stances, and the reports which obtained circula tion of that criminal's murderous plans, induced a very general suspicion that the Rev. Gentleman had been inveigled and destroyed by Thurtell and his companions. Thurtell, however, on beiog questioned a short time prior to his execution, on the subject of Mr. Colton': remarkable ab sence, denied all knowledge of what had became of him, a denial that turned out to be perfectly true. Mr. Colton, by gambling and other ex travagancies, had become involved in debt to a very large amount, principally for jewellery, and, unable to meet the demands of his cre ditors, he embarked with the utmost secrecy for the United States. He continued in America for a considerable time, and afterwards returned to Europe, but not to England. He took up his abode at Paris, and there became well known to the frequenters of No. 9, and the othergaming saloons of the Palais Royal. So successful was he in his speculations, that in the course of a year or two he acquired as much as five and twenty thousand pounds sterling, and happy would it have been for him if he had then forsworn gambling for ever, and invested his money, as he often talked cf doing, in the American funds. He collected a considerable number of valuable paintings, and his lodgings in the Valais Royal, though the interior sufficiently marked the eccentric character of the owner, afforded a great treat to the admirers of the fine arts. But inveterate attachment to the gaining table rendered him some time since a beggar. He became the vic tim of a conspiracy, and the fancied security with which he conducted his operations was the fatality by which he was ruined. Outlawed in England, he made a vain attempt to prevent the deprivation of his living at Kew : he lost it by a decree of the Ecclesiastical Court. He is now living at Paris in the most pitiable circum stances—a melancholy example of the vice of gaming. With a m►nd eminently endowed by nature, with the stores of inexhaustible learning, with powers of conversation of the highest order, with talents and acquirement fitted to adorn any rank or station, he now prowls for a subsistence in the vilest haunts of the French metropolis, and among the most infamous wretches that in fest the Palais Royal.—Northern John Bull.
