THE LONDON JOURNALS• DAUT 'EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. June 6. [MORNING lIERA/,D.] The accounts from France are peculiarly un interesting. The trial for a conspiracy still con tinues. Col. Fabvier, the officer who was Aid de-Camp to Marmont, and accOmpanied him to Lyons on his mission thither during the troubles, has been examined as a witness, after having. been arrest e d as a co n s pi ra t or , b u t di s cha rg ed.' lie refused to disclose the name of a person to whom he referred in his evidence, and was fined 500 francs for it. The conspiracy appears to have been an atrocious mockery, got up by pro fligate wretches and some credulous,- hot-headed party-men, to involve their adversaries in ,ruin. A colonel, named-Berard, who implicated Col. Fabvier, and attempted to-implicate several De puties of the. Liberal" side, is the chief sup port of the prosecution, though a prisoner ; ,but his depositions, in. many instances, have proved iaa',MOß3 fabrications. [MORNING POST.] business was transacted in the House of Commons yesterday. One of the motions which stead on the list of the day was that of Mr. StuertVortley, relative to the late Declaration of eie Allied Sovereigns.- - We confess it gives us ne Inconsiderable degree of pain to see a Gen tleman. of such known good motives disposed to discuss the document in questipn, conceiving, as we do, that his intended motion will meddle too far v. ith the affairs of other nations ; and we are the more disposed to dispute the policy of the interference, because Parliament has been of late so often solicited to take cognizance of the con duct of Foreign Monarchs, that a stranger might -suppose it to be elected the Parliament, not rnerely of- Great Britain, but of the , whole of Europe.. 'Even the party who lately designated as an evil intrornission in the affairs of another country the resistance which we were com pelled to make to France,. now call upon us- . to. become Inspectors-General of Con tinental Politics, at whatever hazard to .our firances, our trade, and our repute for mo deration, or rather for our commendable ab stinence from presumption. Mr. Stuart Wort ley, who has hitherto b een di s ti ngu ish e d, among many other sound-hearted Country G.en tlemen, for an honourable resistance to this party, doubtless so introduce his motion', now that he has a casual coincidence with them, as to show a disdain, rather'than an envy of their pa,. polarity with the worst part of the nation ; bat We mistake if he does hot find that others will avail themselves of hiS hasty - variation from a bitter course, to introduce some of the worst po litics that ever yet excited his abhorrence. Dis arprovitw as we decidedly do of those princi ples in Which despotic Monarchs are brought up, still do -we apprehend that the most plausible part of what . Can be said•against the document • in - 4uestion May be atiswered 'by -a mere refer • once to the imperfection of all human systems, • or- policies, and therefore cannot be usefully, even if it may be safely urged. On the one hand, if it be said that there is no case in which . a nation may by force of arms resist their govern ment, then there is a possibility that a tyrannical government may last as long as that doctrine. On the other hand, if no . Foreign Power may inter fere to controul such resistance, then there is a. possibility that those of ,any nation who happen to ha re arms in their hands, may call a mere re volt, or mutiny, a national effort, and so subju gate the Throne and all their fellow-subjects, without fear of any effectual opposition. Such is 'the vibration of difficulties in which human weakness leaves us. Who can regulate it by any general system applicable to all cases ? We dis dain the quacks who pretend that they can. The question is always one of complexion, and is to be treated upon the separate merits of each case, ont'of which if arises. We ask, then, what is there to deserve the sympathy of the British pcscple in the overthrow of the assassinating Car bienari of Naples, or in the baffled cunning of -the Piedmontese Liberals, who never moved till the) .- had calculated that they could stab the Azstrians in the back ? [ THE TI 31.ES.] Sir Jarnes'illackintosh's Bill for mitigating the p'smisnment in various cases-of forgery •was lost, as will have been seen, by one of those unex pected invidents which justify the old English _proverb derived from the Greek—" There. are rna.,u.things between the cup and the lip." ..We would not, however, introduce,an unseasonable . pleasantry on so serious a. subject. .We regret the .event; for, had .been carried, it wo;d still only have been looked on as an expe riment, and that on the side of humanity ;. and v;koever turns over our statute-book, and consi- . ders the rapidity with whiCh capital punishments have been enacted, will not, we presume, be ap prehensive of any tardiness in reverting to them, should more.lenient measures appear to tend. to the multiplication of, offences. The - natural gravitation lfr,islation seems to be to severity.; as the occa tiOnai introcuction of humane laws appears to be a'kind of Projectile . •force, no matter - how gene -rated., but acting 'fora time in oppositio n to a never-ceasink 'principle. Whatever the evils were wider - the eXistinp.; system, of inflicting capi -tai.punighments on forgery; however' averse the -person injured inight be to - Prosecute witnesses, to -prove the offence, or juries to convict the offender; these .-evils,•-it .may be -suspected, will be en hanced by the 'late discussions, inasmuch—aS -the public will have been led yet more and more 'l6 doubt the propriety of those laws, which they ;hare now heard 'so• loudly condeninect . in that ',place from which.-all lawS spring. . {BRITISH PRESS.] - The decision of the Court of King's Bench on -Monday, in the case-, of the King v. Dolby, that 4o person shall be permitted tolserve on the Spe cial Jury in this case who may have subscribed --to the ran " Constitutional Association," gives a severe blow to this Society. If the right of ° serving as .alury rn ati be important to a member of a free State, or if (regarded in the light of a duty) it be of advantage to the public at large, it becomes a matter of serious consideration whe ther an Association, shall be permitted to exist, the immediate effect of which is to neutralize so large a num4er of persons, and incapacitate them from fulfilling one of the most important func-, tions which can fall to them in .relation to the general interests of society. "No man," said Mr. Justice Bayley, " shall,. he on the Spe. vial Jury who will no t sa y th a t h e is not a mem ber of that Association." This is founded osten sibly upon the common principle of justice,, wikich declares that no man khan be at the same time prosecutor and judge ; but. in effect it throws a stigma upon. every member of the Asso ciation. The same principle ought to prevent members of the Association from acting as Grand Jurors, because as such they may have to deter mine upon the validity o f th e i r own i n di c t m e n t s ,' and it chews in a strong light the impropriety of those Peers of. Parliament who have inadvertently become members of this Socicty, and who.may have in their judicial capacity, as members of the Supreme Court, of Justice, "to determine upon points of law or practice arising out of 'the pro secutions they shall themselves have instituted.. rAIORNING CIIRONI CLE.] We call the attention of our readers to the Report of Proceedings which took place yes terday, at the Mansion House, on an application to the Lord Mayor, by Mr. Parkins, the late Sheriff, for the arrest of certain Leading Mem bers of the Constitutional Association. Mr. Parkins came, attended with Mr. Thackray, a Barrister, who quoted the provisions of an Act of Parliament violated by the Society. The Lord Mayor took time to deliberate, and consult the legal authorities before he came to any deci sion on the subject. It certainly seems to us, from an examination of the clauses quoted, that the Members of the Constitutional Asso ciation have subjected themselves to the penal ties of the 39th Geo. 111. cap. 79.—We yester day stated, on the authority of an Evening Paper, that the parties already indicted by the Consti tutional Association had received notice of coun termand. We learn that this is a mistake, and that half-past ten o'clock this day is the hour ap pointed for striking the Juries at the Crown Office, in the case of Messrs. Thelwall and Dolby. [NEW TIMES.] We have more than once had occasion to no . tice the attempt to put down the Constitutional Association by clamour and abuse.. A new effort is now made to. intimidate its Members, and they are very gravely warned that they may all be trans , ported, under" Statute the 39th of the late King, chap. 79, hitituled An Act for the more effectual Suppression of Societies established for Seditious and Treasonable purposes, - and for-better prevent ing Treasonable and Seditious Practices" !! . The Preamble to that Act set fo r th, th a t a traitorous conspiracy had long been carried on in conjunction with the persons from time to time 'exercising the powers of Government in France, to overturn the Laws, Constitution, and Government, and every existing Establishment, Civil and Eeclesias tical.; and that in pursuance of such design, cer tain Societies had been formed, .particularly the London Corresponding Society (of which, we be lieve, Mr. Sheriff W'aithman and• Mr. Common Councilman Galloway can give a better account than we can), and that it was expedient that all such Societies, and all Societies of the like na ture, should be suppressed—and this is the Act under which the Duke of Wellington and the A rchbishop of York, with about a hundred Mem bers of the two Houses of Parliament, are to be sent to Botany Bay.—Ha! Ha ! Ha! Ha Well, but if the spirit of the Act be not very clearly against the Constitutional Association,. may not the letter of it he so ? Can we not by dint of great ingenuity pick out half a sentence,_ which shall eddy round against the main current of the Statute? Let us try. - In section the second, somewhere about the - middle, it is provided, for the better effecting the purposes stated in the title and preamble, that Societies in which the names of the Members or any of them are kept secret froin the' SOciefy at - large shall be deemed unlawful. Now on examining the list of sub scribers to the fund of the Constitutional Asso ciation we find A Band X Y, of whom we know nothing more than that the one contributes 2/. and the other 5/. ; ergo this is one of the Socie ties intended -by the aforesaid Act of Parliament to be more effectually suppressed. Q. E. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [Prom the" Sheffield Mercury," June 2.] SPANISH REVOLUTION. .. With whatever feelings cif satisfaction we were .disposed- to view the Revolution in Spain at • first, we confess that subsequent events have considerably modified our senti ments on the subject. To get, rid of antippressive government, and to acquire a free one, are two operations ola different cha racter, and by no means follow each other as cause and effect. AZ history is full ofinstances of a peopleaccomplishing the one without achieving the other; and the Spaniards, we are afraid, are destined to afford another example of the same sort. This arises in a great ir,..asure from the tendency there is in. mankind to run into extremes. No sooner are a people freed.-from. the load that fOrmerly oppressed th em , th an th ey rush into an un controlled freedom :.and the• resilition from slavery leads them to licentiousness. There seems, therefore, no experiment in politics more dangerous than a revolution,• and this perhaps is the reason .we find it so seldom succeed. Its success .requires a concurrence of circumstances that we seldom find to exist, and its failure may be caused by a thousand contingencies which can neither be foreseen nor prevented. The danger of the attempt will generally be in a ratio with the suddenness, with which it is achieved, and the.greatness ofAhechange. which it effects. A people suddenly: loosened from the restraints of arbitrary rule will be. apt to enjoy their new found freedom . with a viva city, and .even . greediness (if -one - may use the expres sion), that will not brook the rest mints which. 'their' own interests render necessary... A. fatal, r eac ti on is.. apt to -he en gendered, : and a state of -anarchy.. induced, by the collision •of the various interests, anerthii,,,abullition of the various pAs si-ozls, that are set afloat during. the Riniplution and it is al. ways.a.long time before such.a .nation, even under the most fa vourableFircunastances, can:enjoy that settled state of tranquil lity and security so necessary to its happiness. This considera tion wilLalways be found to check Ihe hopes, and abstract from the pleasure, with which 'vole Should iiiherwise.•view a nation sUcceed in freeing itself froxi'r the slitales of an arbitrary arid des potic governmen,t. Those 'Filo remember the commencement of the French Revolution, and.thebopes it at first raised but soon afterwards falsified, Will easily perceive the reason achy weilis trust the promises the It:evolution .in Spain at first • held 0ut.... : Already ,do ,we perceiy,e the Spanish people be,gin ning 'to perpetrate the same crimes that so fatally marked the progress of anarchy in France. , The " aofertign people." in Madrid appear to have usurped the power of the Qovern. meat, and have proceeded to exercise their supreme attthoritr very much in the style in which mob's generally do, by the per petration of murder, by the assassination of a defenceless pri... sour who was obnoxious to them. In a,similar way the Peri= sian rabble were.wont to visit their prisons, and immolate their unhappy victims con fi ne d t h ere. Th e person and family of the Sovereign are threatened, and nothing seems at present to stand between. them and : destruction but the ;fidelity of the Royal Guard.' The authorities dare not or will not interfere, „arta thus the rabble, 'probably instigated by persons more des rate than themselves, are tempted to the Commission of crimes :by the impunity with which they- can commit them. The same spirit has extended to the provinces, and has shetvn itself by acts equally revolutionary and illegal . %re h a ve .a curious in stance of this in what recently occurred at Algesiras. The people in that town took it into their heads that certain of the most respectable characters in the place were hostile to the new order of things, and accordingly demanded that they - should be banished. It is not stated that they .had committed- any act that rendered .- them amenable to the laws, but they had . ncurred the suspicion of the people, and that was enough to cause their banishment from their native ccAntry, with all.the losses such a punishment implies. The public authorities made a faint `r•ez sistance at first, but soon found . it convenient to yield to the popalar clamour ; atid thus, by tliis modern ostracism, these men, accused and convicted of no crime,_ were ' punished a s traitors ! Ferdinand hi mse lf, in the plenitude of his despotic power, never committed a greater act •of tyranny than this.— We are aware that some allowance ought to be made-for.a peo ple jealous of their newly acquired rights—occas)onal excesses are perhaps unavoidable at such a period ; but it appears to us evident that the Spanish Constitution contains the germs of li- 1 centiorisness, and we therefore expect nothing from it but a con- I tinuance . of anarchy, and all the evils of a crippled and feeble Government. The Executive possesses too little power and in_ fiuence to uphold its auth or it y , an d t h e democratic spirit. with all the evils that accompany it, may be, apected to keep up that state of confusion and anarchy which we find it has already produced in that country. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CONSISTORY'COURT, JuNt 5. LORD AND LADY ERSKINE. (FURTHER PARTICULAR _S.)—*AS soon as. the Court met this morning, Lord Erskine,in pursuance of the public notifi cation which he gave in his letter in the Newspapers some days ago; appeared in Court, and took his seat on the Bench next Sir William Scott, the presiding Jude. As soon as the Proctor had read the names of the distinguished parties in the suit, Dr. SWABEY rose and said, that he was Counsel in this.suit for Lord Eiskine, and he was instructed to inform the Court, that the Noble Lord being, since the institution of 'these pro ceedings, perfectly . .satisfied.of- the innocence of Lady Erskine, had determined, in justice to her Ladyship, and his own.feel ings, .to withdraw his suit for a divorce. Certain proceedings were now pending between the parties, which, the Learned Doctor said, he hoped would terminate the matter at issue, by a deed of separation which was then drawn up. The Court was aware that Lady Erskine had also applied for alimony, and a separation, and her suit was still pending. Lord Erskine was, however, anxious to state / that he meant altogether to withdraw his application, even if her Ladyship were advised to continue her suit against his Lordship, should the adjustment now going onout of Court, not terminate in a deed ofseparation between the parties ; so that notwithstanding this abandonment of his Lord ship's suit, Lady ErSkine might, if so advised_ by her . Counsel, still pursue her application to the Court, if the proceedings now carrying on between the parties did not end in a deed of sepa ration. He therefore prayed that the assignation granted by the Court should be allowed to stand over until the next Court day. . Dr. ADAMS said, that as Counsel for Lady Erskine, he could of course have no objection to the application made on the part of Lord Erskine, that the assignation decreed by the Court should stand over until a futu re day. Upon the other matters referred to by Dr. Swabey, he (Dr. Adams) should perhaps better consult his duty by saying nothing on the present occa sion. Sir W. SCOTT ordered that the assi g n a ti on s h ou ld s t an d over till the next Court day. Lord EnssiNE .then rose, and, with evident emotion, 'ob served, that he attended this morning in Court for .the purpose of declaring his concurrence in what had fallen from his Coun sel. He was the more anxious to do' so, and he made the de claration loudly and openly,. because ere was no person in this land in whose good opinion he was more anxious to stand well, than in that of the Learned - Person who presided in that Court. The Noble Lord then bowed to the Court, iind re •surned his scat. . . Sir W. SCOTT s a id, th a t as th e matter now stood; betrusted the Learned Counsel who advised Lady Erskine would concur as far as they could, according to their sense of the justice of the case, in recommending such a-course as would spare the Court the painful necessity of deciding upon this case. He (Sir Win. Scott) had an ancient regard and friendship for Lord Erskine, and must always feel a deep interest in whatever concerned Lord Erskine or the peace of his family. The Court- was crowded to excess, and Lady Erskine was present, accompanied by a female friend. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 5. DAVIS 7'. SHAW. This was an action brought for slander by the plaintiff, who was. Captain's Steward, in The ship• Mangles, during a voyage fr ern IVladras to London, in 1819, against the defendant, an Officer of Dragoons. . Captain Foster, of the 14th Light 'Dragoons stated, that he was passenger in the year 1819, on board the ship Mangles, from .Madras to London ; that the-passengers (twelve or fifteen in number,) had, in consequence of the civility of the plaintiff during the voyage, agreed to 'subscribe for him 11. each ; but were prevented from doing so by the defendant, who said, " I shall not subscribe any thing for Davis because he is a thief ; he has stolen my gun." Captain Kerr immediately corroborated this statement, and the Jury immediately found a -verdict for the plaintiff-- Damages £lOO. JACOBS V. JONES. This was an action •of assault. The- plaintiff was a glass dealer, in Charles-street, Soho ; the defendant a wharfinger's clerk. Thelatter had called upon the former for a settlement of account. Some words arose as to the amount of the money due; the plaintiff gave the defendant the lie, and the latter immediately knocked him down and otherwise beat him. Mr. GURNEY was for the plaintiff, Ad Mr. PLATT for the defendant.—Neldict for the plaintiff—Daniages, 30s. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THE JUNO AT THE PROSECUTION OF JAMES BROWNE, ESQ. M. P. AGAINST ROBERT BINGHAM, ESQ. This - was a prosecution for .endeavouring to light a duel. — The Prosecutor is one of the Representatives in Parliament for the County •of Mayo, of which the Defendant is the present High Sheriff. • • Mr. _PitiLnins, the Irish Barrister, who has been lately called to the Bar in this country, stated the case for the prose-- cution in a brilliant speech. The facts, as stated by the Learned Gentleman, arid proved in evidence, were simply as•follow :—Some time in the mouth •of February last, the prosecutor being at the time on a Visit at the house of his father Lin-law, in Kent, the defendant called on hiin; and stated that he had come over from Ireland, for the purpose of Complaining to him of the conduct of the Post master of 'Ennis, near which town 'in Ireland the defendant resides, and who, he said, wits insufferably uncivil to him and his family. He proceeded to say, that - he understood the Postmaster had been appointed through the influence of the prOseetitOr's father (the Right Honourable Dennis Browne), and therefore he applied to the prosecutor to pro cure him redress, by the removal 'of the Postmaster from his situation. The prosecutor assured the d. fenda It that he would acquaint his father with the coniplaint the defendant had made. ,The Prosecutor aceordingly,loat no time 'in making his father acquainted with the defendant's complaint of . the Post master,' 'in consequence of, which his father gaVe him a written paper, stating that it was not through his interest the Post master had •been.appointed.— In • short time after the defend ant called. again on the _prosecutor, who laid atis paper on the table, and was about to leave the room without giving any further explanation, when the defendant, calling him back, said he had other• busine ss , w ith hi m , f or ,• sa id h e, - ". Your father has made my uncle promises which must be enforced, and I have brought a' friend. from Ireland for that purpose, and I expect a meeting froth you." • The Prose cutor rerlied, he had nothing more to say, and was leaving tile room; but the defenda4 called him again, and insisted on a saying; at the same time, " `lre can't"( ght in this, :countay . ..,. I am: going to Mayo, an d I k n o w you will be there soon." . Some time after this the defendant wrote a letter to the piosecutbr, which 'clearly manifested his determination to force the prosecutor to fight aduel. 'JaMes.Browne, Esq the prosecutor, proved the facts,. and stated, that he never had any quarrel - or dispqte with .the de fendant, nor had he ever given Turn the slightest provocation. Mr. ALLEY addressed the Jury on behalfof the defendant. The CnAiumAN. charged the Jury, that if theybelieved the defendant intended to provoke the prosecutor to fight a duel, they must find a verdict of guilty. .The Jury, without any -heaitation, -found 'the - defendant Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to pay a fine of 601. and find security for keeping the peace, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 1001:- each fdr two - years. The Defendant paid the fine in COSyiti and was allowed to depart, BOXING. MARTIN ; AND TURNER.—III order to keep a ring as select as possible, Crawley Common, 32 miles from London, ivasappointed for the fight, and there was a strong muster of all sorts at 12 o'clock, when the Commander-in- Chiefmarshalled the forces, but the heat of the day knocked up horses, which were seen . at a stand-still every mile on the road, and some fell to the lot of ;he knacker. Before one, o'clock the_ battle corn- Menced i and average betting was 15 to 8 on Turner. ROUNDS. L Both weie full of gaiety, and too fast to last. Many blows were bit away and some parried, but,Martin placed one on his adversary's body Which sent him away a foot , or two, and in a close both fell, and Martin was undek. 2. Turner made some • sicentific parries of • Martin's right hand, which was bent upon mischief.. Martin's rusb wits met by a counter hit, and he threw Turner, bUt went down with him. 3. The.men closed without doing any mischief, and, at. the WEAV TING system, Martin's strength gave him best. 4. Martin placed a heavy right-handed body blow, Which sent Turn er off his balance. 5. Turnerliad rather the best of this round by hitting his adversary heavily on the'neck, which seemed • to gratify. him. He also placed another hit on the head, but he was thrown from . the close, 6. Martin's neck was well marked. He threw some well in tended blows away, and he received a smart hit oh the mouth. He was undermost in the fall. Turner 7. This was about the best round of the fight. Turner plac ed a flush hit upon his adirersary's left eye-hd, which produced streams of claret, but he was returned upon, and thrown after a touragf.-ous rallyy._ • 8. A-gallantly , contested round in- favour of Martin, who placed his favourite right:handed hit upon - the body, in return for which he knapped upon the head. A-hard rally followed,.at the end of-which both went down. . . . 9. Martin seemed . distressedmore than his adversary, blit bOth had worked hard hi a hot sun, and Martin's superior straight gaveltirn an advantage ; he placed the awkward right.. handed blow upon the body again, and threw Turner. Betting to 4 on Turner. 10. Martin placed the heavy body hit again, and Turner went down ' • Martin became a renter favourite. 11. Both inen distressed, they had a scrambling round, and . Randal bet' Martin 7to 4 ; - the former offered it publicly - 1 and Martin-took it when in attitude. 12:Nothing but the Well-known gi3Odness of Turner could ha'veijratailed upon his backers to fancy him now, as Martin placed the heavy right-handed hit several times.; Turner could not stop it or return, and he was thrown. Martin's.eye'was nearly closed, but" his steadiness 'and Con. dition gave him an advantage, and •he bored his adversary down in _ most of the subsequent rounds,, as the fight did not afford a clean knock down. At this 'Stage of the fight the hitting was comparatively feeble. Turner was hit several times upon-the body in the Llth round, after drawing more claret from Martin's leff eye, and relieving the swelling. Although 59 round's were fought in one hour and 28 -minutes, details wonldbetedious to the reader., In nearly every round Martin was successful in planting, his telling body blow,; a nd a ltho ug h Turner, in return, occasionally' pinched the head, ieWas of - no use,. as . he went down from weakness in. everTround'at the/at ter pasta -the battle, but the odds were never more than two to one against him ; at last Nature turned' him up, and he could not come to time.

THE FATAL DUEL AT WINSTER. • It is with mingled feelings ov - surprise and honor that we have now'to record one of the most -diabolical transactions 'that ever disgraced the reeorda'Of an attack upon a young man, whose name was Cuddle, a sur geon at Winster, an admirer, or rather lover, of a Miss Brittle bank, of the same place. This young lady had encouraged the addresses of Mr. Cuddie, not only without, but against, the ap probation of her . father and her brothers, and they had, it ap pears, forbidden him the house; It is but justiee to add, that Mr. Caddie was a,young man of Anirreproachable character, and in high estimation amongst the inhabitants. On Sunday se'nnight, she sent to ask'him .to take a walk with her, which he accordingly did, and - who, it might be asked, would not have .done the same? They were met by one of her brothers, who upbraided her, and althest shook "her, so as to hurt her arm. This was followed.next day by a challenge from Mr. William Brittlebank, to which the surgeon returned no answer, con-, eluding that Mr. B. kneiv Perfectly well how adverse' his prin.., chiles were to. the practice of duelling. Inconsequence of this, a friend was calico in, a Mr. *Spencer, of Ilkikewell, another less successful admirer, it is said, of Miss Bnttlebank's, who, by desire, calledon dr. Cuddle, and, being in . the afternoon, he found him sitting with his glass of ale, and smoking-his' pipe. Not in the style.or •spirit of duelling, to be sure. Mr. Spencer was invited to partake with him in the jug of ale that ' was before them, which lie did, and then he :delivered - his mes sage from Mr. William Brittlebank, the purport of , whichlvas, that he, Mr. William Brittlebank, expected - Mr. Cuddle would give him satisfaction on account of the insolent language he'al leged-had - been used by him ' or make an apolOgy. To this Mr. Cuddle replied, he had done nothing to ask pardon for. He was then pressed to go immediately into his own garden, where the three brothers of the young lady were. The eldest of them said, " For Cod's sake, Cuddle, ask my brother's . pardon !" e replied, he could not. Then Mr. Spencer said he had a brace of pistols ready charged, one of which he gave to A: r. Ciuldje,antl the other to Mr. W. Brittlebank. Mr. Caddie was obliged,in his own defence, to comply, and they both fired at the same in s t an t. . Mr. Cuddie was wounded .hy his antagonist's ball, paSsing through the lower Part of his body; He immediately exclaimed, ": lam a dead man !" . He, notwithstanding, .walked into the house, attended by three of the misguided. young men. . Mr. Cuddle was quite sensible, though in great pain, and was put to bed. Soon after, he made his will, which,-wonderful to re late, was done by the eldest Brittlebank. In the mean time, the ill-fated and ill-principled young man, who had brought, all this grieVous calamity upon them, went to ameighbouring Magistrate to relate his story,and then disappeared. A surgeon was procured from Wirksworth, who recommended sending for a Gentleman in the office of the peace, - from Hopton, and the deposition of the - unfortunate man was then taken. He .died. the next: day; about two-o'clock. From' several corrobo rating circumstances. a deliberate purpose might-beinferreci on the part of. the assailants, (whether justly or not it is -not for us to decide) particularly from letter, found in the possession of Mr. Cuddle, Evidently in the hand-writing of Miss Brittlebank, though without her signature, begging Mi. Caddie to: be on his guard, as she had - ever-heard--some .convemation that had alarmed her for his safety. A very Tespes.tta'ble Coronees Jury was summoned, and they gave a verdict „of "Wilful Murder against. all the four." They were immediately (with the ex ception of Mr. W. Brittlebank, who had absconded), taken into custody, and nest morning they were sent to Derby jail, and immediately secured with heavy irons. It is.not easy to con ceise. any thing more shocking to humanity, than the whole of thiS dreadful catastrophe.-- Miss Brittlebank, accompanied by a friend, went to see-the dead body of her murdered lover (for so he must-be deemed according to the verdict of the Coroner) ; but froni the extreme agitation of her mind, and deeply wound ed feelings, operating upon a. body already enfeebled by. sick nesS, it is feared-she cannot long survive ! She has given orders for the deepest mourning, and surely none had ever more cause to do so ; since this fatal calamity has involved the whole .family in -- ruin the most complete and : mextrica.ble.—(Maceles .lleld Courier.)

A ludicrous circumstance ccctirred at the Bir mingham Theatre last week, when a Mr. WAY LETT had the temerity to make his first appear ance in the character of Richard. The audience marked their sense of this attempt in the cus tomary way, by groans and hisses, until their anger was somewhat appeased by the Manager, who promised, if they would suffer the play to proceed, that he would bow to their decision, whatever it might be. At the end of the play, therefore, when the audience had killed poor Richard never to rise again, Mr. BuNN came for ward, and desired to know their verdict ; upon which a wag 'in the shilling gallery roared dUt--- g Justifiable homicide."
