Whaler of London, Who with the Second Mate, and Boat's Crew, were inhumanly Massacred by the Spaeth :15., ott the 'lsland of St. Maria, Coast of Chili, on the 24th of February last, under circum stances of the most aggravati barbarity, by which deplorable event his 'Widow and Orphat Children are left entirely des titute of the, means of Subsistence. THIS Melancholy Catastrophe occurred on a , - voyage to the South Sea. Fishery,—Captain HALES sailed from England in the Ship. Offiey, about the month of Oca-Ther 1820, and having d.oabiad.`Ca,pe Horn, after a rough ..,„, IL-33. • 1, 'M earl; . in 1821, he put into :h.:lsland of St. Maria, which is uninhabited, on the Coast of Chili, to re-fit.—On the 24th of February, about 10 A. ea.., several men were seen on the beach, anti Capt. Hales supposing them to be Spaniards, who had come over froM the Main, went bn shore with his Second Mate, Armourer, and four Seamen, armed, for the purpose of procuring fresh provisions. The party was seen to land, and join the Spaniards, who appeared to be very friendly with these ; they shortly afterwards retired from the beach to rither, at/ it was supposed t:tat. Capt. Hales was in treaty with them for provisions, and was gone over to the South Bay, b took at them. Toivards sur.-set, the Captain not having re turn ed, the crew became alarmed and a boat was despatched to sea rch for them, which returned with information, that on their a pp r oach, several strange men were seen on the-beach, and front their raovereents more were supposed to be concealed, • and it hem; near dark, ifs, was deemed most prudent- to return ine ti le ship witho u t ven t ur i ng t o l an d. Th e following " tidings• rli ng no tidings havin g ben received of ' the party on shore, at day-liga the Chief Mate manned and armed two boats, for • the purposa of endeavouring to find them ; on w ila.,..ing near the snore„ they perceived a man naked, sitting Moor,nLe beach, and on landing, .discovered him to be Thomas e ,, she .Armourer, covered with blood, ariel. severely.wound- , `iu- • he was perfectly sensible., and informed them, that on their tirtst landinea the Spaniards appeared to be fnezidly, giving • °• • •-i 'bread b ariti meat, and induced them to accompany them some.distance from the shore, where they were suddenly. sur ralinc-ed by 40 or 50 men armed, on which the Captain re= shlved to return to his boat, which was refus.eci,•except on con. otion of their delivering up their arms—They were compelled co mply with these t erms .—Th e Sp a niards then treacherouSly boundinto th : em, two an d two , an d earne d ah e m about.three miles h..° 41° island, and when - dark, brought them back near to the b ib, among some bushes—stripped them—and cruelly stab 4,,e'd them in co ld bl oo d , himself alone surviving, whom they left - e , a 3r , "d ead, he having received 23 wounds in his body, and two - re cuts, one on each side of the neck. lie was perfectly sensible, and was iniaitdiately taken on board, where the Sur geon examined him/ and found his wounds mortal. The boat 11, Lci no sooner returned, than a number of men were seen corn !11-g towards the beach, and soon afterwards a man presented Ilunsell dressed in the Captain's clothes, waving his hat for a b%t, to come on shore ahe was accompanied by three or four, 11 0 appeared to be Officers in green uniforms, with cocked hats .

PROSPECTUS OF THE LONDON WINE COMPANY, No. 141,' FLEET-STREET, To Commence on THORSDA Y NEXT, 29th NOVEMBER. irT PON the announcement of an Undertaking, Ille .of no ordinary magnitude,• the Propeietorsfeetit proper to submit to the consideration of the Public the following view of its objects and arrangements : The LONDON WINE COMPANY, after having occu pied the greater part of the present year in building and fitting up appropriate Premises, take leave to announce their, inteetion. of commencing Business on the 29th Instant- These Premises - are situated in the extensive Court, the entrance to which is by the Gateway, 141, FLEET-STREET ; and comprehending the whole of the inner. Court, are formed upon a scale fully ade quate- to the transaction of business of the utmost magnitude.— The Cellets, which are peculiarly dry and spacious, are at pre sent stocked, and will always contain froth 30,000 to 40,000 Dozens of toe choicest Wines, of every class and Country. But although this Company ftelit necessary thus to-conform with the 'usual mode of giving publicity to the nature and ex-. tent of their Establishment, they would rather invite direct and personal examination of its merits, as they ann at no other pre ference than that which they may be really found to deserve ; and having taken the utmost care - to be furnished with none but genuine Wines, - Of the best flavour and quality, they offer that invitation with peculiar confidence. As they cannot, how ever, calculate upon general attention to any invitation or ad dress on mere anonytnous authority, especially after the fre quent delusions to which the Public have been subjected, the Company .think it proper to declare, that with them originated, and by them is at present conducted, the LONDON GE NUINE TEA COMPANY, 23, 'LUDGATE-HILL, with all its extensive ramifications. The success of this Company is confessedly without Parallel in-the 'annals of trade. }or al though it commenced business so late as 1818, it is at preseet, notwithstanding the importance and respectability of its com petitors, at the head of the Tea Trade ;—lts utility is indeed admitted, and its establishment complete. To those, then, who, during the existence of ' that Company, have thought proper to honour it with their patronage, the Pro prietors feel assured that they may refer on this occasion for the superior character of their articles, and the consistent rectitude of their dealings ; and' resolving to make the same system the rule of their conduct in their new Establishment, they cannot doubt of success. Hut having sensibly felt the good effect of that system, 'it would be a dereliction of the duty which they owe to the. Public, as well as of the duty which they owe to themselves, to hazard `their obvioui interest by any departure from its principle, or by any relaxation of its character. Looking, indeed, to permanent. reputation, which is essential to permanent profit, they cannot allow any temporary expedient to interfere with their purpose. Of course, then, they can never descend to obtrude any such promises as daily appear in the imposing placards which are so ostentatiously, exhibited in almost every thoroughfare in town, with regard to " Cheap Wines," those %Vines being offered at a price, for which they could not possibly be sold, were they really of the quality or character which. they purport to possess.— Ifut the solicitude of the London Wine Company shall be, in their new Undertaking, what it has uniformly been in the Tea Trade, namely,—to render their Stock comparatively cheap rather by the superior quality of that - Stock, Wan by disposing of an inferior article at a lotv price, which at any price mast be dear to the consumer. Thus, while the London Wine Company disclaim all affecta tion, their object being to establish an equitable reciprocity by securing a fair article for the Public, with a fair profit for theme selves, the Proprietors hope to reduce that system of imposture, which under the alluring guise of cheapness has been too long prevalent; and thus, to accomplish that with respect to Wines, which they unquestionably effected with respect to Teas. The lamentable practice of adulterating Wines, has, unfor tunately; gone to •a most alarming excess of late years; and to the very considerably augmented importation of what are term ed Cape" Wines, that adulteration is principally to be attributed. The facilities, indeed, which these Wines, both red and white, afford to the adepts in such reprehensible practices, are becoine so very glaring, while the quality of those Wines is so notori- - ous4 bad, that the London Wine Company have determined at the outset that on no consideration shall Cape Wines ever be admitted into their Cellars. The London Wine Company are amply supplied with Ports of the generally esteemed best vintages, among which they have a large Stock that has been from 4 to . 32 years in bottle ; while, to insure a supply of the finest .FRENCH WINES, they have had a special Agent in that country upon whose skill and in dustry they can confidently rely, from the Wines which he has - already forwarded. But since this establishment has been in contemplation ; and especially since preparations have commenced fa: bringing it to maturity, the Company have availed themselves of every op portunity that offered, for selecting the oldest and finest Wines from the cellars of the most eminent merchants in the City. They have happily too met with occasions, .peculiarly favour able to their object, among merchants retiring from business, and private gentlemen about to break up their establishments; find there is scarcely any eminent shipper, for the last thirty years, froth whose importations the Company have net made purchases, under the guidance of the most competent judges of Nines, Vhose advice and aid the Proprietors have engaged in the conduct of their new Establishment. The London Wine Company will allays keep a Stock of Foreign Spirits, which may be depended upon as being of g nuine and superior qualities, and which will be sold at equi table Prices, both wholesale and retail. Such are the grounds upon which the Proprietors of this Company take leave to solicit the patronage of the Public. The character of the London Genuine Tea Company affords, it is presumed, a sufficient guarantee to gentlemen resident in the Country, or to families occasionally visiting Town, for the punctual and faithful execution of any orders with which they may be plbased to favour the London Wine Company. This Company think it proper to state, that they can execute no orders- for less than one dozen of Wine. The following is a Statement of the Company's Wines, with • their Prices : Fine Port (old in the wood) . per dozen 42s Ditto, warranted vintage 1815 (ditto) . . 46s Crusted Bottled Port e ; . 54s to 72s Superior old ditto, 5 to 8 years in bottle . 72s to 84s Ditto, 8 to - .:.`e ditto . 84s to 6 - Guineas Old Port in wood . . • pet pipe X9O to £126 Fine old Sherry • . per dozen 46s Superior old Pale ditto - , .

EDITOII-Chauce lately threw in my way a small Volume, entitktd " A Practical Grammar of the nig lish Language, by the Rev ; •pAviD BLAIR," which I care lessly opened at pages 92 and 93 on the Article " Tautology." It is curious enough to observe, that in the list of improprie ties given by this Author in the pages-before alluded to, bow much he appears to . differ .from Writers who have pfeceded him, and whose works, there can belittle question, bay?. tended gregly to foral the genius and structitre of our Language. It has been asserted, and I believe wit`: great truth,' that our pre sent translation of the Bible is a fine specimen of the genuine English 'tongue, whether • considered in relation to_the struc ture of, thOsentences, or choice of the expressions it contains.-- The general acknowledgment .of .the unrivalled beauty, sim plicity, . and energy of its composiiion' , may be considered as a pretty evident proof of this assertion, and I fancy there 2.. e but fetv.who would wish to set alterat44 . 7is in i:s style Whether or •not the Rev. David Blair be one of that number, I can not say; though it is very clear that many- of what he terms improprieties occur in the sacred volume passim. • It is to be remarked with regard to Tautology, that repeti tions, even of words, when they bring additional energy to the sentence, cannot be classed, properly speaking, wider that, head ; they may be compared to blows, which, when repeated, give to matter, - an additional impetus. Can any one be inseessible to the force of the repetition in the following sentences ? • O earth ! earth ! earth ! hear the voice of the For mine's beyond beyond (comparative impatience)—Shaks. Cymbeline. Te, dulcis conjux, te solo in littore secum, Te, veniente die, te, decedents, canebat.—Virg. Georgica. , I fled and cricd.out death ; Hell trembled a the hideous name, and sighed From all her naves, and back resounded Death.—Milton. Neither can a word, when it adds a more decisive clearness to the sentence, and prevents a question, be termed tautological. Expletives, which are intimately connected in different forms and degrees with the respective genius of every language, as far as I lcnow of, cannot, I conceive, come under the imputa tion of being tautological. In fact all irregularities in language, provided they are sanctioned by custom, must be as regular and proper as regu larities themselves ; custom of course is decided by the autho rities of Authors, whose works are held in repute. Before I copy for you the list of the Rev. D. Blair's excep tionable phrases, 1 will merely say, that the words again, back, np, down, &c., not only in some cases convey to my mind a fresh, an& consequently distinct idea ; but that some times they appear to extend, and amplify the idea given by the verb, with which they are conjoined. The few quotations, Which are inserted in opposition to D. Blair's list, might with facility have been multiplied, had not some regard have been shewn to brevity and the patience of your Readers. But to proceed with Mr. Blair's instances of error, " The verb " tu returi," signifies to " go" or " come back," or " go" or " came again :" yet we sometimes hear and read, " return back" and ." return again," and even return back again." Rev. D. Blair. "igain is not always used as signifying repetition ; for " it serves to mark opposition or contrariety, transition to a new consideration, or to an event in succession." Dr. Johnson. ' Behold yon mountain's hoary height, Made higher with new mounts of snow; digain, behold the winter's weight Oppress the lab'ring woods below. Dryden. Who art thou that answerest again? Rom. 9. 20: In neither of these cases is repetition implied by " again" Bask •' to the place from whence one came." Dr. Johnson. And he turned himself 'about from them and wept and re turned to them again. Genesis, 42. 24. And sent forth the dove, which returned not again . to him any more.—Gen. viii. 12: They turned back again from pursuing him.-2 Chron. xviii.. 32. It tells him thou returnest again.—Page 141 of a late work, called Rouge. et Noir. Question—Did he return only half-way, or did he return Lath ? To converse means to talk together, and therefore it is wrong to say they were conversing together.—Rev. D.• Blair. Now, as a person may converse either by writing, by an in terpreter, by signs at a distance, or by speaking together, one may surely inquire, " did they, converse together or• by an in terpreter ?" . . • . , • . . To /id/ includes the idea of down, as to rise does that of up: for we cannot say to rise down, or to fall up.' It is improper therefore, because unnecessary, to say fall down or rise up : and for the same reason raise up, 10 up, ascend , up, and sink down, descend 6lown,plunge clown, are wrong.—Rey D. Blair. - But down they All BY thousands.—Milton. Down he . fdl.--Chaucer. • And he fe ll down before him.—'.latthew. xviii.. 26 and 29. • So down he fell, that th' earth him underneath Did groan.=Fairy Queen.

Richard Blacow. i. be defendant having ap peared on the floor of the Court, Mr. Justice Hor.ROvn, before whom the information against the defendant was triad at the late Assizes at Lancaster, pro eceiLd to read his notes of the case ' • from which it appeared, that the defendant , in his vocation of Clergyman, and from the pulpit of St. Mark's Church, Liverpool, in the course of a ser mon which he was - then preaching, delivered the following libel Of and concerning her late Majesty : ••" The term cowardly: - which they have now laid to my charge, I think you will do inc the justice to say z does not be ;tag to me ; that feeling was never an inmate or my bosom I ci It ter whaathe Jacobins raged around us with all their fury ; nor in -the precut day of Radical uproar and delusion. The:, latter, indeed, it mast .be allowed, have one feature aboat thein even more hideolia and disgusting than the .Jacobins themselves., They fell down and worshipped the Goddess of Reason', a most.' respectable and deeent,sort of being, compared with that which the Radicals have . set .up as the idol of their worship. They have elevated the Goddess of Lust on theriedestal of shame, an object of alLothers the most congenial to their taste, the most deserving of their homage, the most worthy of their adoration. , After exhibiting her claims to their favour in two distant quar ters of the globe, after compassing set:and land with her guilty Paramour, to gratry to the full her impure desires, and even polluting the holy sepulchre itself with her presence, to which she was carried •.in mock majesty astride upon an ass, she re turned to this hallowed soil so hardened in sin, so bronzed with infamy, so callous to every feeling of decency or of shame, as to go on Sunday last, clothed in the mantle of adultery, to kneel down at the altar of that God, who is c of purer eyes than to behold iniquity,' when she ought,rather to have stood bare foot in the aisle, covered with a sheet as white as unsunned snow,' doing penance • for her sins ! Till this had been done, I would never have defiled. my hands by plating the sacred sym bols in hers; and this she would have been compelled to do in those good old days when church discipline was in its-pristine vigour and activity." • , The publication of the libel having been proved, the defen dant was found guilty.

You have heard the libel read of which the defendant has been convicted—but your , ships have not heard the defence which he made for himself upon his trial, and I will venture to say, - that there never was in this country exhibited a scene so indecorous—so degrading to the character of a man, and more especially to the character Of a Clergyman—a scene distinguished by the utterance of such base and foul calumnies. • Mr. Justice BEST—This is not repeated on the notes which have been read to the Court. - Mr. BRouomix-- , -For that - very reason I wish to inform your Lordships ofwhatdid actually occur, and I appeal to the Learned Judge by whom the case was tried, with great efrett, whether he ever witnessed a more disgraceful exhibition in a Court of Justice ? As to the libel itself, it is sufficient for me, in praying the judgment a the Court, to request your Lord ships' attention to the slanders—the vile , gross, and indecent slanders, of which that libel is composed and which were de- ' livered by a Clergyman of the Church of England from the pul pit, in his vocation of Minister of the Gospel—as well as to the fact that it is not the first time of this man having been convicted of - a similar ofilinee. Mr. Justice BEST—Have you an affidavit to this? . Mr. BitoodnAm—l have, my Lord. The sentence of the Court will be found upon its tiles, and I have an affidavit to prove that the defendant is the person who was convicted and received that sentence. If the Court shall think fit I will put it in.—(An affidavit was handed in.) Mr. Justice BEST—This affidavit shOuld have been read before; in order to afford the defendant an opportunity of reply. • , Mr. BnoupnAAl—l have not the smallest objectiob that the defendant should be permitted to reply. The CHIEF JUSTICE—In point of regularity, this affi davit ought to have been read before the defendant was call ed upon. The'affidavits on both sides should be read in the first instance. Perhaps it is hardly Worth while to read this 1 affidavit \ ..... . . (The affidavit was withdrawn.) linou nsi--3ly Lords, • I feel it quite unnecessary to trouble the Court by going hack to the former ca‘e. Your Lordships see the tenour of the Itbel itself. You know tile cha racter which the party, I cannot say does—but which be ought to support—the occasion upon winch this libel was published, and the person to whom it.applied : that this defendant is one of those individuals who are engaged in a conspiracy, for the purpose of propagating, openly as well as in secret, the vilest slanders which it is possible for - the human imagination to in vent, and to .heap .upon public and private character every abuse Which may appiar calculated to serve their profligate purposes, as well as of those who are determined to listen to and give countenance to such calumnies. The latter are not less charac terized than the formei by malignity or base time-serving, al though•the former May'llaire less prudence in their designs—as I think has been made to appear -from the whole course of this case. The defendant has come forward upon this occasion—not to apologize for the publication with winch he stands charged, hut to aggravate it by an exhibition of additional malignity ; and he now appears,in the last stage of theprOceeding, courting,. as he did on his trial, theignominyattaehed to his t.anchtgt, and bravini= the punishment due to his offence. I now leave him to the jtagment and to the justice of your Lordships, satisfied that you will feel, yourselves Loand, regarding the situation in which he stands,. to pass that sentence weich, under all the cir cumstances, his crime shall appear to deserve:- It would be superfluous to niake'any further remark ; s'euill therefore not add one word more. • The Court, after remaining in deliberation for about twenty minutes, Nit.. Justice BAY LEY proceeded to pass sentence on the de fendant in the following words :—lt is niy painful duty, to be called upon to, pass on you, the Reverend Richard Iliseow, a _Clergynian of the Church of Brigland e the sentence of this Court for a libel; first' uttered by you in your capacity of a Clergyman, in a place set mart fur very different purposes, and afterwards printed and published as part of a sermon preached in die Church of St. Mark. It is 'in itself a very great evil, that a plate so sacred should be perverted to such purposes. It •ougllt. to have been. with very different. feelings that tne minds Of those who attended should have been impressed, nor should - you, - upon so solemn an .occasion, have mingled with Christian instruction any observations upon living characters. We all . have snflicient faults of our own to col.rect, without ceinnienting upon the faults others. It is no smell aggravation of the , case; that there did not exist an Unanimity of -opinion oft the topic that is the subject of this libel. It was, therefore, at the time you litiOntd it, eahefilated to produce different feelings iri different minds; but not-such feelings as might to preVall a house of Christian worship ; ,the nature of_ tne place itself is o l c of the great stings in this case,—that which gives Co it a freithre of peculiaragravation. I must gay, that you have ex ercised e. wise discretion,- in having declintit, to offer. any thing this.dayin enitation.of the;offer.ce of.- which yon have been convicted ; and I hope that determination arose from a convic tion, that, on 106.1;;I:g bilCk ten yoUr eonduct,. Yon saw nothing in it. for which yen- could Offer any! defence. Taking all the circumstances of the Or, into ,coiaatier4ti g n, the sentence of the Court on you ie, .that you do pay to'the Ring a fine of Ore ntiared Totrtas l that you be committed to the ettetody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of this Court for the term of Six Qalenclar , Months ;.that. at the expiration of that time you do THE KING V. DAVIE AND ANOTHER. These defendants, David Graves Davie, and Samuel Adam • Snowden, who were before the:Court on the 16th in§t.ant to sre ce.ivc the sentence, for the offence of wilful and corrupt perjury (the particulars of which have been already stated), and the case - having hem then adjourned until this-day, they were now 'brought tip, and after hearing affidavits as to character, in roi-,„ tigattor. of punishment, and Mr. Adolphus on their behalf,_ me COURT adjudged them to be imprisoned in the IVli•fdle- sex House of Correction for oue month, and at the•oepiration.ef that time, to-be severally transported for seven yeas. THE KING V. 11.ICHAIID FOI;ES. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. (X. Marriott) prayed the judgment of the Court on this defendant, who had suffered jutg rueut to go by default, to an indictment preferred against him by the Society for the Suppresoon of Vice, for pirb.ishing , :m obscene punt. The defend,antwas a stationer and print-sekkr Aldgat.e. Mr. DENMAN addressed the CoUrt in mitigation of purdSl . .. merit. The CounT sentenced the defendant to nine months im pritgyninent in Co'dna& Fields Prison, and at the expiration o that time to enter into security for his good behaviour, hitnielf „ std two sureties - in 101. each, fur five year. TIIE KING V. WATSON• The defendant was - trought up for judgment, for a libel pub tithed in 'the - Norfolk Chronicle. The libel complained of arose in the course of a paper war, which was carried on between the defendant and one Nifiling. ton, respecting the merits of a patent horse-shoe, in the course. of which.the -defendant• had incidentally dropt some refie.etio:,s on Mr. Clover, the prosecutor, who had nothing to do with tILe dispute respecting the horse-shoe. The COURT thought that the justice of the case might iwi,a been satisfied at the Quarter Sessions, without: putting 4 - ke ste fendant to the expense of coining to 'London. He was sentenced to pay a fine of 4)1. which he paid accwd - - ingly and was discharged. • THE MANCHESTER MEETING. RADFORD V. BIRLEY AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the defendants, Birley, Whittington, and Meagher, Members of the Manchester V ea manry Corps, for an alleged assault upon the plaintiff, at i,,la-v -e'hester, on the 16th of August; 1819, during the public meet- • ing which had been convened by Advertisement, to consider of the propriety of petitioning Parliament for Reform. The venue had been originally laid by the plaintiff in the County of Mid dlesex, but had been changed on the motion of the defendants to Lancashire, on the usual affidavit, stating that the cause of action, if any, arose in . Lancashire, and not elsewhere. Mr. 111...a.c Klan RN E, for the plaintiff, now moved for a rule to shew cause why the venue should not be brought hack to Mn'..- dlesex, on the ground that a fair and impartial trial could not be had in the County of Lancaster. The Learned Counsel founded his motion on the affidavit of the plaintiff's Solicitor, which stated in substance, that this action was brought to recover a compensation in damages against the defendants for a Violint. assault, made by them on -the plaintiff; on the 16th of August, 11119, at Manchester, when the plaintiff and other persons were,. as deponent was informed and verily believed, peaceably. 3Salli. - bled in pursuance of a public Advertisement, to consider the hest' means of bringing about a reform in Parliament. Deponent fat- . then said, that he had been informed and verily believed, that-. the said meeting was conducted in the most peaceable and _or-• deny manner, until the Manchester Yeomanry commanded . by• ' the defendant, Mr. Birley, and of which Corps all other d efenu ants were members, and were on that occasion present, with outr any provocation, attacked the meeting with .drawnstwol-di, - and severely wounded several persons, and amongst others the sail plaintiff: And deponent further slid, that he had also been thrmed, and Verily believed, that a very great and general pre judice exists throughout the county of Lancaster, amongst tat; persons who are likely to serve upon juries, as to the nature ;41 object of the meeting in question. And deponent further that he had - heard and vuilyhelieved, that several persons wl - : were so' wounded on the said' 16th of August, 1819, prefeTre+'.. bills of indictment at the Assizes for the said county ef Len casstef,Wilhst the p - • nr'srlitrtrme-aer •wounelosl-444u 1 -4.1t thar the Grand Jury, upon being informed that such transentens occurred at the said meeting, ingored the said bills. . -And. de-, ponent lastly said, that he verily believed that an indifferent ee impartial Jury for trying this cause cannot be had within tli said county. of Lancaster. The Learned Counsel said thSre several precedents for this motion, and amongst ethers, he pal,: titularly relied. upon Petit v. Berkley, Cowp. MO, upon the form of affidavit, on which the affidavit in this case was framed. Indeed this ease went farther than that ; for there the affidavit was made by the agent, whereas here it was made bt the tiff 's attorney. CIHEE JUSTICE—Take a rule to, shEs.v cause. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 2G.' STEPUENS, ASSIGNEE or 11IITCHELL, V. /tOTIIIVLL AND PARKINS. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, in the beginning of the present term, had obtained a rule to skew cause why the ve:cliet in this case should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. • . Lord Chief Justice DALLAS read his notes of . the trial, from which it appeared that it was an action on the 29th of Eliz., brought by.the plaintiff as assignee of a bankrupt against the defendants as Sheriffs of London, to recover from them a cer tain sum for extortion in levying on the goods of the bankrupt, under-a levari facial from the Exchequer, for a debt due to the Crown. The bankrupt, had requested the officer to bell the goods in a particular manner, in &great number of small lots, in order that a greater sum might be produced by their'sale. This the officer did, and in consequence having had more than usual trouble, had, it was alleged, taken more than the usual fee. The defendant's*Counsel at the trial had objected, that the ac tion could not be maintained—fristpbecause the facts did not support a charge of extortion ; and, secondly,.beceruse if there were any extortion in the case, the action should have been on the Ist of Geo. 1., by which the fees of officers on ex( catkins in behalf of the King arc regulated, the statute of 'Elizabeth only referring to actions between party and party ; and, thirdly, that if the action were properly brought under the 29th of Elizabeth,' it should have been by the bankrupt himself; who was thb party aggrieved. The COMIT were clearly of opinion, tilat the 0.0011 should have been on the statute of George 1., and therefore, without de: tiding on the other points, made therule absolute fin a nonsuit.. ' COURT OF. EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26. The business in this Court was this day quite devoid of pub lic interest. 'BRIXTON HOUSE OF CORgECTION.-ThiS spa-. cious building is a complete improvement of all other prisons in the Kingdom. The Govektor's house Stands in the centre, and has 'a cothmand ing view of - all the yards, which are well arranged for the prisoners to walk in,' into Nvh!ch the cells open, and each yard is separated by a high iron railing. In order to keep the prisoners at hard labour, there is a large corn-mill which is worked by live Male prisoners at a time, by means of a large wheel, with steps on tho outside, which they walk up. and as they ascend the mill works ; and if any of the piisoners should stand 'still, they are thrown backwards. DISCOVERY OF A COAL MINE.—We understand that the Magistrates are advised that there is ex cellent coal under the public. Green, which can be worked on some neighbouring property with out injuring the Green in the smallest degree, - as neither the pits, coals, hills, nor steam-engines, will be placed within its boundaries.' We also understand that. the Magistrates are about to make the experiment by boring.— (Gksgozz Courier.)
