COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(This DAY., R. WAITHIKAN V. WEAVER, SHACKLE, AND ARROWSMITII , This was an action brought by Mr. Alderman - Waithman against the defendants, to obtain a compensation, for an injury sustained in con sequence of the insertion of a libel in the John Bull Sunday newspaper, of which the defendants are the proprietors, imputing to him the being a purchaser of stolen goods ; and also that he had, in his return of income to the Com missioners of Taxes, given a false account, and had afterwards sworn to the same, he well know ing it to be false. ' Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury at consider able length, alleging the case to be such as re quired exemplary damages. The publication of the libel by the defendants was proved by Mr. 'Mattison and Mr: Pressley from the Stamp-office, Somerset-house. Mr. Sergeant Vauon.tx, for the defendants, proposed putting in evidence to shew there were circumstances of strong suspicion attaching to the Plaintiff. The CHIEF-JUSTICE considered he was not jus tified in receiving such evidence, which, after a long desultory conversation, was rejected. The case, after an impartial summing up by the CILIEF JUSTICE, went. to the jury, who retired, and, after being absent an hour, returned a Ver dict for the Plaintiff—Damages, Five Hundred Pounds. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Letters have been received this morning from Calcutta, dated the 4th of December, which bring the pleasing intelligence that the market was extremely favourable for every description of British goods. There was, however, much difficulty in procuring proper remittances. Indigo had been the only article which offered a fair return, and it had consequently ad vanced to the unheard of price of 280 a 300 rupees per maund. This rise must, however, in part be attributed to the arrival of several French vessels with investments of dollars to pay for their purchases. The East India Company had purchased upwards of 4000 chests, and even then could not get home their revenue ; one , and a half millions must be remitted to them in sterling money, and each ship has been ordered to pre pare room for bullion to the extent of 250,0001. Sicca rupees, or rupees of exchange, were so low as Is. 10d. a Is. I Id., and no bills could be purchased even at this low rate.—One Hamburg and one Flanders Mail arrived this morning.—. The letters from Hamburgh are dated on the 12th current.— The exchange on paper at two months was 36. 5., and on short bills was 36. 8. Every description of good paper found buyers. Gold is quoted at 101/, and discount at 2 per cent. Trade generally was exceedingly dull, and coffee was lower. All the accounts received from the different quarters of Europe were of a warlike description, and these accounts obtained implicit be lief. The demand for saltpetre and sulphur had considerably increased, and prices had in an equal ratio advanced. From St. Petersburgh the letters are dated the 14th (26th) March. The Exchange on London was then 9 9-16, and gold was quoted at 390 ; silver 3753 a 376 ; six per cent. paper remained steady at 102 ; six per cent. silver at 92 ' • and five per cent. silver at 78. Tallow had advanced to 128 r. being about 361. a ton, free on board. This advance can only be attributed to the state of the London markets.—The accounts from Mos cow are of a most distressing description. Great failures had taken place amongst their cotton manufacturers and sugar refiners. This affords another proof, if any were Wanted, of the benefits of free trade. Had the inhabitants of Moscow been permitted to buy their consumption of cotton goods and refined sugars where they 'could have got them cheapest, these calamities would not have befallen them. But until England agrees to receive in exchange for her industry, such articles of commerce as foreign nations produce, no real Prosperity can be expected either by the inhabitants of England, °r of the different kingdoms with which she is in the habit of trading. without a fair exchange of commodities, trade must be forced and to force commerce renders its benefits unavailing. On the Royal Exchange this day, there is a great deal of money for Bills on Paris, at the reduced exchange of 25f. 371 c. a 35c.; on Hamburgh at 36f. 11c. ; and on Amsterdam at 12f. ftc.-- Lettcrs have been received from Great Yarmouth, communicat ing the important intelligence that Major-General Bn owcEhad been appointed Governor of that fortress. This appointment ought to be considered as a sufficient proof that his Majesty's Ministers expect a general war in Europe, for otherwise they never would have appointed a successor to the late General Richardson after their declared intention-of reducing all useless offices. The Major-General's command will be confined to the fott, north of the haven's mouth, on which are mounted two nix-p ou nders without any garrison, for there is not one . private attached to the mighty charge. For this duty the Maior-Ge neral receives 4001. a.year. This, we am told, is an office cal culated to uphold the dignity of the Grown, and the just influ ence of the Ministers. However this maybe, one thing is cer tain—it never can produce the slightest advantage to the public. In the same town,• there are other offices equally inefficient, but they are at present filled by old and meritorious officers. In case of vacancy, however, it will be for the interest of the public that no further appointments be made to them.—The Public Funds have been extremely steady. They opened at 78/, and remained without any alteration during the day. The final Price was 784. No rumours were circulated ; but there was a visible distrust in the present rates being maintained. The best friends of legitimacy have no confidence in the possibility of Europe remaming in its present distressed state, and they fear the change—The Foreign Securities were French 87 ; Prussian, 4 , 844 ; Russian, al nomin ; do. Metallic, 763 - Neapolitan, 68; Spanish, Old, 66-h ; do. new, 66i, ; Austrian, 74i; Danish, 85; Colombian, old, 1081; do. new, 85.—Some doubt the issue of a new Prussian loan, but think that it is only the conclusion of the old one which has occasioned the pressure of Prussian Stock on the market It is of no consequence to the monied interest whe ther their property be required for an old or a new contract.— In Mark.lane, the supplies of British grain are short, and the Advance on fine wheat since last week is not less than 4s. a quarter. The same improvement is quoted at Great Yarmouth, With scarcely a second sample appearing on sale. Bonded Wheat is also 3s. to ss. dearer, and shipments for Portugal are Continued with a great prospect of other foreign markets being 0 0n opened.—Cotton continues to find buyers at the late prices, both for home consumption and for exportation. What is said resPecting the Russian tariff this evening in The Courier does not receive implicit credit, because letters have been received ft °M a Gentleman at St. Petersburgh, who knows its contents, and who would communicate them to his friends as soon as t hey were published at St. Petersburgh. These letters mention nothing of its contents ; at the same time the failures at Mos cow induce intelligent merchants on the Baltic walk to expect file rates to be extremely unfavourable to British commerce. — ( Morning Chronicle.) Sir ConBET CORBET has resigned the Chair manship of the General Quarter Session of the County of Salop, and THozlits PEMBERTON, Es+ and the Hon. THOMAS XENT ox, were appointed joint Chairmen in the room of the worthy Baronet. The number of passengers that , have passed between Dover, Calais, and Boulogne, for the last week, have been 1,253, with 52 carriages. So early as the present period of the year, this exceeds any former seasons, for travellers go ing to .nd from the Continent. ~i'VroDERN MritAcr.Es.—lt is said in a German pa,,,er, that several families in Brabant have sent messengers at the own expence to Prince HOHENLOHE at Bamberg, re questiag him to cure their friends of their maladies, though at a distance. If the expected miracle was to be a bona fide supernatural operation, as the Prince pretends, there is no reason Why it should not be performed in his absence as well as in his presence. The Prince, it would seem, from his conduct admits the justice of this inference, and accordingly has drawn up regular formulas for miraculous cure, in the I::rench and G erman languages, leaving blanks for the day and your in which the miracle is to be effected. Any person, by obtainin g one of these wonder-working formulas, may fill it up with hi s own name or that of his friend, as easily as blank tax schedule. Yesterday his MAJEs•rY held a Levee at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was the most nume rously and splendidly attended of any that has taken place for many years. Most of the prin cipal and distinguished families in the kingdom were present. The carriages began to arrive at- one o'clock, and continued setting down without intermission till near four, three and four carriages at a time. The line of carriages reached at times from Carlton-house, along Pall Mall, St. James's-street, Piccadilly, to Grafton-street, Bond-street, &c. Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, the Chief Magistrate of the Police, was in early attendance with Townsend and Sayer. The worthy Magistrate made some excellent and judicious arrangements for preserving order, regulating the carriages, &c. by station ing several numerous parties of the Bow-street patrole at each of the gates of the Palace-yard, Waterloo-plice, Pall mall, &c. Tlie King's Guard in white gaiters, preceded by their band in state uniform, marched into the Court-yard soon after one o'clock. The Grenadier Life Guards, accompanied by their nu merous band of sixteen wind instruments, with trumpets, trom bones, kettle drums, in their splendid uniforms, who played al ternately with the band of the Foot Guards during the whole of the afternoon, some very delightful pieces, which considerably heightened the effect of the heart gladdening scene. The Royal Livery Servants appeared in their state dresses, the Porters at the gate with their long staves, the Marshalmen, the Under Porters, the Gentlemen Porters, the Pages, Scr ap peared in their State uniforms. The Grand Hall was lined by the Yeomen Guard. The Hon. Corps of Gentlemen Pen sioners were stationed in the Octagon Hall, headed by Lieu tenant Henderson, the Standard Bearer, the Clerk of the Cheque, and the Gentleman Harbinger. On his Majesty leaving his private apartments, he proceeded to his Royal closet, where Comte de Chateaubriand, the French Ambassador, was introduced to his Majesty by the Marquis of Londonderry, Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and by Sir Robert Chester, the Master of the Ceremonies, when his Excellency delivered his credentials, and was most graci ously received. Count St. Martin d'Aiglie, the Sardinian Minister, and Baron Sternheld, the Swedish Ambassador, had audiences of his Ma jesty. The following were introduced to his Majesty by the French Ambassador :—Viscount De Marcellui, his Excellency's Se cretary, and Lieut.-Col. Chevalier De Ladibat. The King then received the obeisances of the Cabinet Mi nisters, after which he gave audiences to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Peel; his Majesty also received the compliments of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, among whom were the Austrian, Prussian, Ameri can, Neapolitan, Sardinian, Bavarian, Portuguese, Baden, Russian, Hesse Cassel.—There were also present Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Clarence, the Archbishops of York and Dublin, the Bishop's of Chester and Landaft; the Great Officers of State, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Vice- Chancellor, Mr. Justice Best, the King's Advocate, the Soli citor-General, the fiord Mayor of London, the Recorder of London, the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Aldermen Garrett and Venables, Mr. Dawson, the Under Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for Ire land, the Judge Advocate, the Rev.

Lord Crewe entertained a party of his distinguished friends yesterday, at his house in Lower Grosvenor-street. Lady Fitzpatrick had a fashionable party yesterday, at her house in Grosvenor-place. The ensuing concert, for which the Dowager Lady Gresley so liberally opens her rooms, is not,we find, as stated, to be tin der the conduct of Mr. Hammond, but of Mr. Atwood. The former, however, is to exert his vocal talents on the occasion, and the concert is to be supported by the powerful aid of Mrs. Salmon, Miss Carew, Vaughan, Hawes, W. Knyvett, Tar rail, &c. &c. POETRY. The following Letter was written by SHAKESPEARE to Miss ANNE HaTttawAY (afterwards his wife), a short time be fore their marriage. Would ye be taught, ye feather'd throng, With love's sweet notes to grace your song, To melt the heart with thrilling lay— Listen to my Anne Hathaway. She hath a way to sing so dear, Phcebus might wondering stop to hear; To melt the sad, make blythe the gay, So sweet to sing Anne Hathaway. Talk not of gems the orient list, The di'mond, topaz, amethyst, The emerald mild, the ruby gay ; Talk of my gem, Anne Hathaway. She hath a way with her bright eye Their varied lustre to outvie ; The jewel she, and they, frail they, So sweet to look Anne Hathaway. THE MAIDEN'S REPLY. Altho' my Willy promise fayne, Of man's deceits I must bewayne ; Full well I know theyre arts and wyles, And frowns do oft succeed theyre smyles. My maiden name once flung away, No longer Anna llath a way.

This is much more than has ever been attempted, and the match was 100 guineas to 30 on time. The pedestrian did rather over 23 miles in the first three hours, and appeared fresh and well, having got five miles more than the rate of tl availing off. He pursued a ster4dy course of something less than six miles an hour, and had ac compliihed 37 miles in six hours. He had no time for halting, and it was evident he could not win. He did 54 miles in nine hours and fifty minutes, and resigned the task, having won a bet that he did 50 miles in nine hours, which he did, with minutes to spare.

LOSS OF THE SHIP BLENDON-HALL. Extract of a Letter from Messrs. GOODWIN, CURLING, and Co., Agents to LLOYD'S at Deal and, Ramsgate, dated Deal, April 19. " Ttie Blendon-Hall, Capt. GREIG, from London to Bom bay, was totally lost on Inaccessible Island, one of the group of Triston D'Acunha, in the South Atlantic Ocean, on.. the 23d Jaly last. The Comm a nd er , Offi cers , an d passe ngers,:got safe on shore ; but eight of the crew perished. They remained on the Island, exposed to the cold and rain, until fifth Novem ber, on which day the carpenter and three or four of the crew embarked in a small punt, made out of the wreck with surgi cal instruments which were thrown on shore, and reached Tns- . ton D'Acunha, where they p rocure d two whale boats, and brought those that remained on Inaccessible Island away. On 9th .January a brig from Brazils put into Tristori D'A cun h a for water, and took them all away, and on the 18th January they arrived safe at the Cape. The carpenter and boatswain came home in - the Plecenix. Capt. G. was waiting for one of the Company's ships, hourly expected, when the Plurnix sailed on 2d February.. Dining the time they were on the Island they had no food but penguins and their eggs. Out of some bales of cloth washed on shore they made tents ; an iron bury sawed •in two was their only cooking utensil; they were for four days exposed to heavy rams and intense cold before. they could procure fire. The ladies and passengers suffered severely, nothing being saved but the clothes they wore, the ship going to pieces two hours after she struck. Capt. (1. and son were in perfect health on 2d February." . - DEAL, APRIL 19.—Wind W. by S.—Arrived to-day and sailed for the River the PhCenix, Winton, from Borribay, &c.

PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 19.--Wind S.W.—Arrived the Royal George, from China and Bombay, from do., both landed passengers, and proceeded up the Channel. • - FALMOUTH, APRIL 18.—Wind N.N.W.--Arrived the Blucher packet, from Rio Janeiro : left 17th February.

Last week a deputation from both the Admiralty and Navy Boards visited Sheerness Dock Yard, and we understand that, among other things, a very extensive superannuation is to tak.; place af.nong the artificers. BOXING. The battle made at Epsom Races on Wednesday, for George Lenney t' fight any man Mr. Courtenay could bring under his weight lOst. 61b. and who had never before exhibited in a prize ring, took place yesterday mo rn i ng o n Rid ge Me a d ows, t h ree miles from Virginia Water, after the cavalcade had received notice to quit in the vicinity of the Royal domains contiguous to Winkficld-plain. Lenney first entered the ring with his seconds, .Jones and Gilbert; the new man soon made his appearance, and doj?d his castor into the ring with much confidence with his backer, and W. Tring and Oldfield as his seconds. He was unknown to the fanciers, but he was introduced as Harry Har ris, the Wiltshire butcher. The stakes were for 20 guineas aside, and a purse. In the first round Lenney approached with caution, and made some feint, but the stranger's muscles were in f u ll ac ti o n f or hitting. He at length made the play at his adversary's head, but hit by it, and Lenney met him on the head with the left hand, and closed upon him. In a wrestle Lenney was thrown hea vily, and it was even betting. 2. This round produced some very hard fighting. The novice, a fresh young man of 22, kept at his work manfully, and bothered good fighting, according to the flash term, by readiness and hard hitting. Lenney was obliged to ruffian it with him, and both were often bit to a stand still. They disengaged thrice from closing, as Lenney found he : had the worst of that, and trarris was for the stand up. The round lasted thirteen mi nutes. Lenney was dropped by a lunging right-handed tittler under the lug, which brought, a stream of claret, and spoilt him. 3 and 4. These rounds were rather of a tamer description then the last; and produced out little mischief. n. Harris unmuzzled, and shewed no quarter. He was met twtcs upon the head in advancing, but he shook it, and would not be denied. Severe punishment took place, and in the rally Lenney was minus two front grinders ; lie was dropped again with the right hand. 6. This settled the battle in 23 minutes. Lenney was all abroad, and was hit so senseless that he was deaf to time, which gave victory to Harris. , EXECUTION OF JOHN CONNOR, AT RUTI/IN. John Connor was a native of the county of Wexford, in Ire land, a Roman Catholic, aged 32 years. On Monday morn ing last, the Under Sheriff of the county( of Denbigh (T. Broster, Esq.) went from the Lion Inn, to the Gaol, at tended with the Aldermen of Ruthin, several Gentle. men of the Town, the Sheriff's Javelin Men, the Corpo ration of Ruthin's Javelin Men, the Bailiffs and Constables, about eleven o'clock. The prisoner was then with two Catho lic Priests, (Mr. Wright, of Holywell, and Mr. Bates.) The Under-Sheriff waited for him till a quartei after twelve, when he came out, attended by the two Priests, and ascended the scaffold with a firm step, when Mr. Bates addressed the spec tators, (very numerous) by desire of the prisoner, acknowledg ing the commission of the crime, and expressing his contrition, and warning them by his example. He was a very fine man, about 6 feet 2 inches high, and certainly the mo s t po wer f u l man seen in the neighbourhood for some time ; he was very penitent, and confident in his hopes of salvation. He was , turned off about twenty minutes before one o'clock, and died' in about two minutes and a half. The night before, he was quite reconciled to his fate, and told Mr. Broster he was then prepared to die, and had been so since the day before. He has parents and friends living, but they know nothing of his fate, nor (lid he wish them. He stated most positively that there was but one man with him when he commited the robbery, yet he would not mention his name, but said he had no doubt the prosecutors were mistaken from the alarm they felt. The prosecutors supposed there were four, but knew the pri soner and his companion, who is a man called Will Sair (William Thomas), from the Parish of Gresford, and who has absconded, though he remained in that neighbourhood, and was frequently seen, for several weeks after the robbery, and is a notorious bad character; strange as it may seem, no one ap prehended him. His wife is now in gaol, under a sentence of imprisonment for uttering base coin.—Mr. Kenyon prosecuted Connor, and Mr. Humphreys Jones defended him ; he was supported with money to defend himself. Mr. Sankey, as also the priests, returned the Under Sheriff thanks, for his gentle man like eeling and conduct towards the prisoners.—( Chester Chronicle, April 19.) ATTEMPT OF ARTIFICERS TO LEAVE ENGLAND. —At our Assizes indictments were preferred against Thomas Evans, Wm. Robinson, J. Wid dowson, Jas. Shaw, H. liill, J. Swindells, and W. Cocking, for attempting to leave this country, and carry on their work in a foreign land. Mr. Williams was employed by them as Counsel and Mr. Brown, of London, as their solicitor, and at the suggestion of the Attorney-General, and by the advice of Mr. Williams, they were in duced to plead Guilty to the charge, and gave sureties in 201. each, and, on Saturday next, are to find each two other sureties in 201.n0t to leave England for three years.—(Chester Chronicle, April 19.) Yesterday evening, between the hours of eight and ten o'clock, the counting-house of Mr. STRONG, Wine and Spirit Merchant, Well-street, Cripplegate, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and the desks, &c. forced open ; fortu nately, however, the cash-box had been removed, so that the thieves were oblig ed to content them selves with some papers of halfpence. They next attempted the iron chest, but here, by the inge nious make of the lock, they were again foiled. They then regaled themselves with some wine, to console themselves for so small a booty, and retreated.
