COURT OF KING's BENCH—(Tins DAY.) Mr. Justice HOLROYD sat at an early hour and heard nptions of course. At half-past ten the Jutlges came into Court, when the SOLICITOR-GENERAL being called upon, moved judgment upon teorge Bere, convicted, at the Sittings after Trinity Term, of libel. This case, however, having been tried before Mr. -Justice BEST, and the Learned Judge not being present, the case of Frederick Jerrarn was called on. This defendant was an Officer of Excise, and in the course of his duty surveyed several skin yards, in the vicinity of Bermondsey. In the way of his business he became acquainted with a parchment dealer ; these persons con trived to have the letters of the Government stamp altered, by which the revenue was de frauded. The defendant put himself on the mercy of the Court. After some consideration, the Court pronounced the following judgment, by Mr. Justice BAILEY, who, after a suitable admoni tion, sentenced him to six months imprisonment in Horsernonger-lane Gaol. SEDITION.-THE KING V. BERE. This case being now called on, the affidavits for want of which the case was postponed until the present day, were put in; they were from the notorious Carlile himself and his wife, - in Dor chester gaol ; the purport of them was to shew,: that he had acted merely as a servant. The de fendant put in an affidavit, corroborating the statement made in that of Carlile and his wife. —The libel wa§ published in the Republican, of the 2d of October, 1820, and tried before Mr. Justice Best, at the Sittings after last Trinity Tenn. Mr. COOPER addressed the Court at length, considering the affidavits that had been read en titled him to the mercy of the Court ; his age, the situation, every thing they heard, were all in his favour, considering that the prosecution ought slot to have any effect. The King was a man and a gentleman, and would not have sanctioned the bringing up the defendant !for judgment. He proceeded to cite various authorities, concluding by deprecating any heavy punishment upon his client, in consequence of his age, his necessities, and character. Mr. SOLICITOR GENERAL spoke at considerable length in. aggravation, considering it a case de serving of exemplary punishment, and that he should have been guilty of a gross dereliction of his duty if he had not called the defendant for Judgment ; and it was the purpose of putting do wn the intolerable nuisance of Carlile's publi cations that 'had guided him in the performance of his duty. TheCo 3 u . wr, after some consideration, pro nounced the following sentence by Mr. Justice 'AILEy, That the defendant be imprisoned in the gaol of 'Winchester for six months, and give security for good behaviour, himself in 500/., and two others in 1001. each, for seven years.

Our former opinion was confirmed on, this occasion. Her manners and general deportment indicate respectable associa tions, and her mode of speaking affords the same inference. her person is pleasing, and her face handsome. She seems to be very well calculated to take a leading part in the theatrical amuse ments of private society, but altogether she is not hardy enough for the vast Patent Theatres, where a considerable portion of the audience are Placed at too great a distance from the stage to be sensible of delicate acting, or the nicer Points of di a l ogue , an d therefore are neces sfily amused with processions, melo-dramas, ' c . &c. &c.

In June last, it was our melancholy task to announce to our Readers the death of the late Dr. HAGUE, who, for two-and-twenty years, h.d held the Professorship of Music in this University. During the whole of that period, his exertions, in the art to which he had been attached from early youth, afforded the public much gratification. On every occasion on which his services were called forth, he dis played his good taste in selection ; his libe rality in engaging the assistance of the most accomplished Performers ; and the power and variety of his own admirable talents. There is, however, reason to believe that these undertak ings were frequently productive of but little advantage to him, in a pecuniary point of view. When, therefore, a Concert was thought of for the benefit of Mrs. HAGUE, and application was made to the most eminent Performers, for their aid ill carrying the plan into effect, we are well informed of the cheerfulness and alacrity with which all those, whose professional engagements would allow them to do so, tendered their ser vices for that purpose ; and when the intention of bringing forward such a Concert was publicly made known, it was pleasing to remark the gene ral expression of feeling which prevailed for its success. The Concert was patronized, with great condescension and liberality, by his Royal High ness the Duke of GLOUCESTER, Chancellor of the University. On the evening of Wednesday last, the per formance took place, in the Town Hall; and we are happy in being able to state, that the friends of the undertaking were not disappointed in the audience which they witnessed on the occasion.— To the Performers, individually and collectively, every praise is justly due. The spirit—the preci sion, and the commanding power of Mr. CRAMER were very striking; and the instrumental pieces were exceedingly effective. Miss GOODALL sang with her accustomed sweetness and taste ; and in the glees was ably supported by the eminent Vocalists who accompanied her. Of the single songs and chorusses we could express our selves An strong terms of approbation ; but it is not our intention— if we had the ability—to dwell upon .particu tars. The Concert was opened with a vocal com position by Mr. HAwrs, of which the words were written, as is believed, by a Gentleman to whom we are indebted for many poetical productions of a highly pleasing character.— Thinking, as we do, that the lines are very beautiful, we venture to present them to our readers. The composition itself seemed to possess great merit. Its expression was easy and pa thetic ; and the introduction, at the close of a well-known and pleasing subject by Dr. HAGUE, gave to the whole a peculiar interest. We are requested to state that Mrs. HAGUE IS anxious to return her most sincere thanks to the Performers who have so kindly rendered their assistance ; and her grateful acknowledgments to her friends and the public for their support. INTRODUCTORY LINES. RECITATIVE. One pause, ere yet a livelier strain we choose, One pause we ask, to wake a mournful muse : For look, alas ; our circling train around, The master hand is thew no longer found, And who shall now that sweetest lyre restore, Which silent sleeps, and must be heard no more. 0 ye, whose generous bosoms bear In all our griefs a willing share, Still'bid your listening fancy hear The well-kn Own strains that once were dear ; Nor let the memory of the lyre, Like its own fleeting sounds, expire. • Oh, be your hearts to genius true Now while it bids its last adieu : No more the master of the strain Can hear your praise—but those remain, Who smile in sorrow to receive The honours, which to him you give. (Cambridge Chronicle, Nov. 22.) POETRY. A SICILIAN SONG. Say mighty LOVE, and teach my song, To whom thy sweetest joys belong, And who the happy pairs Whose yielding hearts, and joining hands, Find blessings twining with their bands, To soften all their cares ? Not the wild herd of nymphs and swains, Who thoughtless fly into the chains, - As custom leads the way; If there be bliss without design, ivies and oaks may groW-and twine, And be as bless'd as they ; Not sordid souls of earthy mould, Who, drawn by kindred charms of gold, To dull embraces move ; So two rica mountains of Peru Night rush to wealthy marriage too, And make a world of love. Not the mad tribe that vice inspires With wanton flames, those raging fires - The purer bliss destroy ; On }Etna's top let furies wed, And sheets of lightning dress the bed To raise the burning joy. Not the dull pairs whose marble forms No tender melting passion warms, Can mingle hearts and hinds ; Logs of green wood, that quench the coals, Are married just like Stoic souls, , With osiers for their bands. • Not minds of melancholy strain, Who silent, and that still complain, Can the dear union bless ; As well may heav'nly concerts spring From untun'd lutes, with scarce a string, Or none beside the bass. Nor can the soft enchantments hold Two jarring souls of angry mould, The rugged and the keen, SAMPSON'S young foxes might as well In bands of cheerful wedlock dwell, With firebrands tied between. Nor Lt the cruel fetters bind A gentle to a savage mind, For love abhors the sight—. Loose the fierce tiger from the deer, For native rage and native fear Rise and forbid delight. Two kindred souls alone must meet, 'Tis friendship makes the union sweet, And feeds their mutual loves ; Then VENUS, on her shining throne, Is drawn by gentlest words alone, And CUPID'S yoke her doves.

PLUNKETT.—On one of Mr. PLUNKETT'S canvasses for M.P. for the College of Dublin, he had not the assistance of Government. A Gen tleman asked, if Mr. REAGII, the Fellow, would support Mr. PLUNKETT CC he will," replied Mr. P., "and if he did not support me he would be a Castle-Reagh." _ _ _ ANECDOTE OF THE KING.—OD his MAJESTY'S return from his late visit to Hanover, he was waited upon at Rothenkirchen by a deputa tion of the Miners of the Hartz. The deputa tion begged permission to present their King with a goblet, out of which, they said, George 11. and also George 111. had drank. The King immediately remembered the latter circumstance, and that, when in his youth, a deputation of the Miners had come to England to wait on the King his father, his Majesty drank out of the goblet ; and three old miners being presented to him as having been among those who brought it to Eng land, he said good humouredly, " Do you still frequently sing the song which you sang at Windsor—' Gestern Abend War Vetter Michael da?" As this song is national in the Hartz, it may easily be imagined how pleased the honest miners were with his Majesty's excellent me mory and pleasantry. RETORT COURTEOUS.—Judge K. who presided in the County Court of an American State, was fond of indulging himself occasionally in a joke at the expence of Counsellor 8., a practising Attorney in the same Court, with whom he was very intimate, and for whom he had a high re gard. On a certain occasion, when pleading a cause 'at "the bar, Mr. B. observed that he would concinde his remarks on the following day, unless theCo6t would consent to set late enough for him to finish them . that evening. " Sit, Sir,". said the Judge, " not set—hens set." " I stand cor rected, Sir," said the Counsellor, bowing. Not long after, while giving an opinion, the Judge re marked, that under such and such circumstances an action would not lay.—" Lie, may it please your honour," said the Counsellor, " not hens lay." ORTHOGRAPHY.—The following is a literal Copy. of a Notice on a Gate between Gloucester and, Cheltenham " Hear his no Publick Rood r. : whosover trespass on be pruccuted to the hutmast Regla" • MRS. OLIVIA_ SERRES. [From TILE TimEs.l This amusing personage has two strings to her bow. When the public are tired with her re monstrances about her rejected claims to the dig nity of the Royal Family of Epgiand, she changes her note and becomes in a twinkling a Princess of Poland. The following is one:of her proclama tions in the latter character : " The Princess of Cumberland, anxious to satisfy the pub lic as to the justice of her claims, gives the underwritten copy of one of her grandfather's letters, which she pledges her honour has only been seen by four or five individuals. Having experienced a severe illness, she trusts that the British nation will not desert her in her present persecuted state:— [Memoranda.—" With other sacred papers, to Lard War wick's Care, for Olive, my grand-daughter, when I am no more. Not to be acted upon till the King's demise.—J. W."l "My dear Olive—As the undoubted heir of Augustus, King of Poland, your rights will find aid of the Sovereign that you are allied to by blood, should the family of your father act un justly ; but may the great Disposer of all things direct other wise. The Princess of Poland, your grand-mother, I made my lawful wife ; and I do solemnly attest that you are the last of that illuitrious blood. May the Almighty guide you to all your distinctions of birth. Mine has been a life of trial, but not of crime." " Jan. 1791. " J. WILMOT." CHALLENGING A JURY.—An Irish Colonel of Dragoons, previous to a trial in which he was defendant, was informed by the Counsel, that if he had any personal objections, he might legally challenge them. " Faith, and so I will," replied the son of Mars : " if they do not bring me off handsomely, I will challenge every man of them." TREATMENT OF DEBTORS IN CEYLON.—The mode of treating debtors in this island is particu larly singular and severe. The first step taken is to strip the debtor of his clothes, and a guard is set to watch him. If after a little time he does not pay, a large stone is put upon his back, and he must carry it about until his creditor is satis fied. Sometimes they put several very heavy stones upon his balk, and he is obliged to carry them about until the debt is extinct.—Another severity often practised by the creditor, is putting thorns between the naked legs of his debtor, and obliging him to walk about with them. Fre quently the creditor will go to the person in debted to him, and say he will poison himself, unless he pays him directly. Instances have oc curred of such threats being put into execution, and the debtor, who is considered as the cause of his creditor's death, also forfeits his life. The custom of the exhibitors of the curiosities in Westminster Abbey presenting General MONK'S cap for a compliment has been abolished. L.kVINIA FENTON (afterwards Duchess of BOLTON) was tempted by Rim from the Hay market to Lincoln's Inn-fields, in the year 1728, by a salary of fifteen shillings per week : on the success of The Beggar's Opera, to secure this valuable actress, he raised it to thirty shillings ! and such was the rage of the town respecting her, that she was obliged to be guarded home every night by a considerable party of her confi dential friends, to prevent her being run away with. Extract of a letter from Tiverton (Devon) dated Nov. 19, 1821 ;—" We had one of the heaviest falls of rain last night, ever recollected in the memory of man. Many well-informed people here say, such a rain was never known in this country, but that it was similar to what is experienced in the West Indies ; it extended about three miles in circumference, and this town might be taken as the centre ; it continued from nine till ,half-past ten last night, and again from two to three this morning. About ten o'clock last night the elements to the north-east appeared to be one large tire, and continued in that state for many minutes. Perhaps you recollect a bridge which crosses the Lowman, in the meadows op posite Blundell's school ; this was washed away during the night, though a very firm bridge, and not of many years standing. Several stone walls have been washed down, and, in many parts round the town, the water came down with such violence, that nothing could resist it ; the iron gates at the school lodge, although locked and barred, were forced open about two o'clock with a tremendous crash." An Irish Paper says—" Mr. while water ing his horse at the canal near Ballybough-bridge, was . suddenly plunged into the water, in conse quence of the horse having lost a firm footing on the bank. The horse fairly swam across, but the animal and the gentleman found extreme difficulty in ascending the canal sides, and the rider threw himself from the saddle ; the Gentleman was .no swimmer, and went down of course. Two Ladies who had been walking on the hank, witnessed the occurrence with great alarm ; but, with singular presence of mind, united their scarfs, and placing a stone in the end, threw it to him, by means of which he was fortunately rescued from his dangerous predicament." A gentleman's servant in the neighbourhood of Newmarket, having received his wages, gave a part of them in two bank notes to his wife, who, in the hurry of business, one morning put her pocket into the wash tub without thinking to take them out of it, and was surprised when she saw two or three large letters floating on the top of a stocking ; but she immediately recollected the notes, and after straining the suds, went to the lady of the house in the greatest alarm, with eight or nine and thirty little wet morsels of paper, closely pressed together. The lady en deavoured to comfort her by saying, she would see what she could do—and after several hours patient and close attention, she succeeded in separating and arranging all the essential parts, on the covers of two books, such as the numbers, date, names of the London bankers, clerk's entry, &c. (what made it more difficult was, the notes not only being of different value, but of different country banks ;) the lady afterwards pasted the fragments on plain paper, and when the man presented the muti lated notes at their proper Banks, both the houses honourably and readily exchanged them for new ones. THE ARMYS Colonel Sir N.C. COLTHURST, Bart. M. P. has been pleased to appoint PHILIP BASS, Esq. (Capt. H. P. 27th Regiment) Adjutant of the City of Cork Militia. The 86th regiment, which embarked in four vessels on Thursday se'nnight, from Bristol, ar rived at Waterford, after a fine passage of thirty hou rs. We are not a little gratified, and we are sure we speak the sentiments of the whole town, at the return of the detachment of the 2nd or Queen's, from Chatham. The gentlemanly con duct of the officers of this regiment, and the peaceable and orderly conduct of the men, have endeared them to the inhabitants. While there is so much to commend in the conduct of a regi ment, we can wish for no change, and we have merely to repeat the pleasure we feel at the re turn of that part of this regiment which had left us, and which, it was reported, were to be re placed by some other.—(Brighton Paper.)

NUMERAL SIGNALS.—We understand that an outline of a' plan has been submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty, by Lieutenant Alfred Burton, of the Chatham Division of Royal Marines, for the establishment of a code of NUMERAL SIG NALS, by which comunication may take place between ships of war or commercial vessels, of the same or different nations, in a kind of UNIVERSAL NAVAL LANGUAGE. The plan we be lieve to be something of the following kind, and by its sim plicity, it reminds us of the story of Columbus and his egg. The signal flags made use of may, according to their position, represent certain NUMBERS, and these numbers may represent those SENTENCES by which the usual communication is generally carried on between ships at sea. Those numberS, therefore, which signify any sentence in the English, will also signify its MEANING in every other language : and thus a limit ed communication may take place between vessels totally ig norant of the language of each other. By means of four flags, 64 numbers may be expressed, and, consequently,.64 sentences; five flags are capable of expressing 3Z numbers, and six flags 1956. The adoption of this plan cannot but be attended wits► great convenience and advantage to the maritime world, and we are only astonished that it was never thought of before.-- (Liverpool Courier, Nov. 21.) On Saturday afternoon, about half-past fotir o'clock, a woman leaped from a four pair of stairs window in the. New Wynd, Glasgow, and was killed on the spot. She has been married for 35 years, has left a well-doing husband and fa mily, in whose absence, in a fit of intoxication, she laun:hed herself into- eternity. DANG EROUS DRIVING.-Yesterday the driver of a Bishop Sortford stage-coach was convicted in the penalty of Si. and 10s. costs, at Lambeth street Office, for coach-racing last Friday, so as to endanger the safety of his masters' passengers. UNION HALL..--AN aAr. ClllLD.—Yesterd4. Henry Angel, a boy about 16 years of age, was brought up, charged with having beaten and kicked his mother in a most desperate manner. . . . _ Alrs. Chapman, sister to the boy, stated, that he had been a long time in the habit of beating and otherwise almsing his mother, so often, and so violently, that the whole neigh bourhood in which they lived attributed every noise they heard to the filial attentions of the prisoner. The witness was absent from home four or five days ago, and had left her mother and brother in care of it. Upon her return, she found her mother in a deplorable state, the poor old woman having been beaten and kicked from head to foot by this inhuman :'tl - Notwithstandingthis treatment, the mother would never have appeared to complain, had not the neighbours joined with the witness to prevail upon her to attend. The boy spoke not a word, but smiled during the examina tion, and appeared quite indifferent to every thing, until roused by the decision of the Magistrates, who said, when the mother was sworn to the fact that her son had beaten her - that verv morning, " Lock up this scoundrel in a solitary cell in the House of Correction at Brixton, t'or three months, and let him. be well flogged." The prisoner then changed countenance, and the unfortunate mother supplicated in tears to have the " flogging" remitted. In this entreaty she was joined by the daughter. The Magistrate (Mr. CHAMBERS) strongly censured both mother and sister for snaking so absurd a request ; and ob served, that if the unfeeling son had received such punishment as he was about to undergo some years ago, there would' pro bably have been no necessity now for making any complaint.-- The boy was then taken to prison.
