It also would have the flied of saving the lives of Many &hided persons whO might become the titterers. of these forged notes at the instance of ouch men as the Prisoner, and those With whom he ifs cantata.. The proi4, as given in evidence, to fix the guilt upon the Prisoner, was to the following cfFed : The Keeper of the Prison at Birmingham, having re.. oeived information • that two men and a woman would go by the Manchester coach, from the Hen and Chickens, at' Birmingham, with a great van. tity of forged Bank Notes, which they were going to ,distribute at, the fOrmer place, and ,round the • country, made application to die High,C7nstable, and they agreed to watch their motions; accordingly the Prison.keeper dressed himself in the habit of a woman, and having communicated the business to one of the Proprietors of the coach, the latter, on the day alluded to, drove the coach himself, arid the Keeper took his seat on the box. When they set off 'there was only the woman named Mary Water. house, the accomplice of ,the Prisoners, Cooper and the other man, M'Neal, on the box the coach stopped at korkley turnpike, about a mile our of Birmingham, when Mary Waterhouse held up leer hand as a signal, and the Prisoners Cooper ard, M'Neal, who were at a shdrt distince, got uponihe. root of the coach, the Prisoner Cooper sitting next - to Waterhouse, and M'Neal on the. Middle of the roof, tl•ere being several other passengers,—The Prison.keeper immediately 'descended from the box, and hiving conferred with-the High Constable, who was in the inside, they agreed it would be beat to seize them : accordingly the Prison.keeper seized hOld of Cooper and the woman ; upon which Cooper put his hand into his breeches pocket, and drew out a bundle, which he attempted to • throw away, but which the Prison-keeper forced out of his h an d. They proved to be forged notes, consisting of 68 One pounds. • The Prisoner , in his defence stated; that hr• had found them upon the road, and that he had t,,ti least knowledge of the other Orion:lets. It was roved, however , that he cohi;bited with IVlaty Waterhouse, as Iti, wife, at a public house in the town;and that M'Neal was constantly with ttiem for Some days before they were apprehended. Titter witnesses gave her a good'charader, and elesctibed her as a fustian mantdaduter Riodon in P Lancitsbite. `The Judge said, the case was so clear, that no &übt could remain of his guilts' knowledge. The , Jury initnediateir found him—Gurhy. 7obu 111'Neal, the accomplice, was then tried on art indiCtneni. fur !pilau/fully having in his posses.

In his de. fence, he denied all knowledge of them, and called ✓veral Persons to his cluiratter. The Jury found They were then both placed at the Bat, and sen. teheed to be transported for 14, years.

At the Durham Assize*, which concluded on Sa. turday last, there was a good deal of business at Nisi frier.--The Gentlemen of the long rube had rather an abundant harvest produced by the late elettioneering contest in that city. The first on the list, which opened the business of the Assizes . . on Wednesday, and took 'up several hours, was an action brought by one Wm. Grievson, a freeman of that city, and in' the interest of Mr. Wharton, nvinst the Rev. William Nesfieldo Justice of the Noce for the County. The action was brought to recover satisfaaion for an assault and imprisnnment under ..his authotity. The Ceiltite was opened by Mr. Ser. Coeitt LL, who made out his case, and ver. diet was found lot the Plaintiff, with a shilling da• magas, and costs. The next was of the same complexion, brougia by one Weel.inds a freeman and a shoemaker, against the same Dtfentlant and Mr. John Wolk, the gaoler of DurhaM, for an assault committed on the body of the .Plaintiff, in the town.hall, at the last elettion, which lasted for about eight hours on Thursday ' • a number of Witneises were examined on each side, • and Counsel heard at great length ; after which. a verdil was lowa fur the Plaintiff, with nominai, damages anti assts.—A third action of the same kind was &so tried at the suit of Smirk, agaimit Rowland Wilsim, both freemen, but in op posite interests. The Defendant had formerly been a friend to Mr. Wharton, and being upbraided with leaving Kr. Wharton'i intereat, the Defendant took otcasion to blacken .his eyes, for which the Plaintiff 'blackened him with this action, which produced a vetdi4t of 51. and costs. • Two other cause were likewise to have. been rid u, which had sprung film the sametause ; the .1.(011) 1 13 4 t Pr'nred by RICHARD HARRIS, (of No. 4, Martiet-court, low.htrect); anci At the So n.QFN t No. 11, Strand ; where didDe Ordt rs 10 EDINBURGH, lmy b.

Seven boats started, two belonging to N-w. haven, and the other five to Fisherrow, and the fi sh. ing .towns tt? the eastward.—None were allowed to compete 'for the Prize (which at the desire of th , .! Fishermen was , converted into money), but such as had volunteered their boats, and .their own per. son;11 service, iii aid of the Flotilla for the defence of the Coast.. . . . At c h9lf past one o'clnck , the seven boats started from the end of the Pier of Leith, and proceeded to sail seund the Red Buoy, on Craig Waugh, a .sunk rock in lisherrow say, nearly abreast of Pres: tenpins. , . . . The. wind being direelly a head, the first stretch they made carried, them close in with Inchkeith ; the following tack they stood well into Fisherrow Bay, and it was not until they had made a pretty long. board to the northward and eastward, and .again tacked with their heads toward the south shore, .that the first boat succeeded in weathering the when she immediately bore, up before the, wind for the boat stationed off the harbour of Leith, which was the winning post. She was followed by the second at less .than a quarter of a mile astern, which distance was con siderably decreased before they came in. All the others were a good way behind, and the boat which won, evidently gained the Prize by her superiority in keeping so well to windward in all the different racks, as the second boat rather gained upon. her . when they came to go at large, and were returning before the wind. The Piike of BUCCLEUGII, Lord DALE!? ITH, Sir JAME; ST. CLAIR Eitsrit &c. were in Adtni. ral VAsuots's barge, accompanied :by the .
