The peculiar notice with which our Paper has of late been honoured by our Commercial Friends in general s and by the. Shipping Interest in particular, renders us anxious not to overlook any information which may prove beneficial to British Merchants and Ship-owners. We therefore revert with pleasure to a subject mentioned in our Paper of the 22d. Jan. last, the application of science to the improvement of British SaiLcloth. Since that period, we have had ocular: inspection of various specimens of Sails, partially or wholly prepared by his process, and exposed to everypracticattest, together with "unprepared canvas ; and if any'doubt had before remained on Our nunds, it would- have -been impossible for us to resist the conviction arising from the result..of these experiments. Not only have pieces of prepared and of unprepared canvas been tried separately, under circumstances exactly similar ; but, in the same sail, alternate breadths of prepared' and unprepared Canvas have been used—the former without receiving a speck, and the latter being spotted all over with mildew ! When we consider how much the durability of canvas de pends on its being unsusceptible of mildew, and on its flexibili ty, both which qualities are imparted by this process, we must regard the discovery as one which peculiarly demands the at tention of those persons (whether public bodies or individuals) to whose care the directitm of our shipping is entrusted. Two points appear to have been established by incontestible proof— Ist, that sails made of prepared canvas are one-fifth cheaper than the bleached kinds ; and, 2dly, that they will last twice as long. It has been calculated, that at the present prices of coker and prepared improved Scotch canvas,thesa'ving on a complete' et of sails would be as follows : s. d. For a Merchant Ship of 400 tons 31 13 9 - 700 tons - 66 8 4 1200 tons - 95 0 11 For a Man of War of 100 guns - 15,3 7 2 • 50 guns - 105 9 3 36 guns . 107 2 7 Fora Brig of l4 guns - 25 18 9 For a Cutter of l4 guns - 48 2 9 The testimonials to the improved durability of the prepared canvas are so many, so various, and so highly respectable, as to form a body of proof wholly irresistible. They consist of 1. Certificates by officers of the navy, who, by express com mand of the Admiralty and Navy Boards, made comparative observations on the effect of weather, &c. on sails of prepared and unprepared canvas, during long voyages in various climates. 2. Certificates by masters of merchant vessels. 3. Statements of the use of both kinds of canvas for tents and awnings in hot climates, and during the rainy seasons. 4. Opinions of the Committee of British Shipowners and other gentlemen personally conversant and interested in matters of shipping. 5. Judginents of men of science, approving of the philoso phical principles of the invention. - Of the first class are the reports made of sails used in his Majesty's ships Ranier, Crown, Solcbay, Crocodile, Antelope, and Chatham ; in all which instances, without exception, whilst the unprepared canvas was, in the words of the different oflicers, " very much mildewed, " completely mildewed," " consider ably worn," " rotten," and 44 fit for no other use than paper stuff;" the prepared kind was " free from mildew," good and serviceable," " perfectly sound," preserving its colour and strength," and " fit for any purpose." Similar experiments were made, with the same results, on' board the merchant ship Fame, from London to Calcutta 4nd back; 'Marquis of Hastings, from London,. to Bombay and back ; Trafalgar, to and from the Coast of Africa ; brig Eden, for several months to and at Jamaica and the Havannah; Nep tune, in Davis's Strait and the Greenland Fishery; Active and Bacalhao, in the coal trade between Shields and London, &c. &c. The third and fourth classes of testimonials most fully cor roborate the two preceding. The fifth class rest on the high scientific authority of Dr. Marcet, Dr. Babington, Mr. Arthur Aikin, and Sir Humphry Davy. Dr. Babington states, that " so far from the substances used (in Browell's process) being detrimental, they must, in his judgment, tend to preserve the canvas not only from mildew, but from other causes which might be likely to affect it." Dr. Marcet states, that from ex periments made with brown Scotch canvas, and with bleached canvas furnished to Browell and Co. by order of the Navy Board, which had been manufactured according to their in. structions of 1814, it was found that Browell and Co.'s process is a " remarkably powerful prevention against mildew, and that the brown Scotch canvas was more effectually protected by it than either of the kinds furnished from Deptford Dockyard. Mr. Aikin (the ingenious Secretary to the Society of Arts), in ,a letter to Messrs. Browell and Co. relates the results of various experiments made with the same kinds of canvas as were sent to Dr; Marcet, with similar effects. Mr. Aikin is thence led to think, that " the alkaline boiling which the Government canvas undergoes, may so destroy or weaken the natural union between the vegetable fibre and coloring matter, as to render it more liable to spontaneous decomposition ; and concludes, that canvas made as nearly as possible from the raw material, after being submitted to Drowell and Co.'s process, would be the most dur able of any." • Sir Humphry Davy, after examining the experi ments made by the two kst mentioned Gentlemen, says, in a letter to Dr. Babington, that ,he " considers the evidence of those experiments as unquestionableg" Finally, among the tes timonials of this kind, we must not forget to rank that of Rear- Admiral Sir Edward , Codringtoh, who, after examining the pieces of canvas with -which Dr: Marcet had made his experi ments, which fully confirmed those made at sea by direction of the Admiralty, declares " his hope that a discovery of such vital importance may obtain the, just reward of general adoption in hia Majesty's. Navy." DIVIDENDS. June 18, S. Todd, Southampton, merger.-.. June 22, J. and C. Bigg, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, common-brewers.-tJuuelB, J. Forbes and D. Gregory, Aldernrianbury, merchants—June 18, J.

STEVENS. - This was an, action brought by the plaintiff. against the de fendant to recover damages for a libel. The damages were laid at one thousand pounds. Mr. Jervis, Mr. Taunton, and Mr. Cross conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. Brougham , Mr. Bailey, and, Mr. Abra hams, for the defendant. Mr. JERVIS stated, that the plaintrif was a gentleman carry ing on the business of an attorney, at Henley, in Staffordshire ; and the defendant was a law-bookseller, in Bell-alley, and well known to the profession. The libel, which was, contained in a pamphlet addressed to the Master of the Court of King's Bench, under the signature of " Paul Wilkinson," was one tending to vilify a most respectable class of gentlemen, the Clerks of that Court, (the Court of Exchequer,) whom it charged with fraudu lent practices, in drawing up declarations without stamps, and charging the duty as if stamps had been used. The libel asserted that they put the proceeds in their own pockets, and thus de feated the revenue. It did not stop at these foul charges, but went oh to vilify even the Learned Judges them Selves in stric tures upon 'a case, where a party to a bail bond having, through some neglect, fixed the bond, separate actions were commenced against himself and his two • bail, and - treble costs incurred, amounting to 211, I7s. upon a debt of ltd. and the Court re fused to relieve the parties until these costs were paid. This, which was a common proceeding, over which the plaintiff could, from the circumstances, have no control, was made the founda tion of -the libel ; which went on to hold up the plaintiff as the attorney who had commenced treble actions for the sake of obtaining treble costs; in the bills of which stamps were charged that had never been used: that he had carried on a " cheap shop" at Stafford, and one at Henley, and employed as his assistant a man named Hammond, who was once a jour neyman tanner; arid that with him he long rioted in practices of a most profitable nature ; but that ultimately they quarrelled and abused each other ; when the plaintiff, having got the start of his assistant, prosecuted and had him transported for inac curacy in his accounts. The libel said, that whilst concord prevailed they were par nubile fratrum but that after they had separated, the lion was without his jackal, and in want ofpro vender, which he sought for by advertising for business. The libel concluded -by accusations against the charactei of the plaintiff, and charging him with carrying on disreputable bu siness. The Learned Counsel said he could find no terms suf ficiently strong to express his feelings as to the malignity and wickedness of the whole, which was only equalled by the con duct adopted in defence of the article, in making the records of, the Court the vehicles of still fouler slanders. He animadvert ed at great length upon the pleas of justification, which asserted that the whole of the libel was true, and that the plaintiff was in the habit of carrying on business upon the principle of " no cure no pay." There were certainly some. facts which were interwoven in the whole, but they were distorted with the worst design; for of themselves they were innocent. In conclusion he called upon the Jury to appreciate professional character, 'and to protect it and compensate the plaintif by most exemplary damages. On behalf of the defendant, a long attempt to ,justify the libel was made by Mr. BROUGHAM, who called evidence /13 speak against the general character of the plaintiff; but the Learned Judge (Baron Wood) over-ruled it as inadmissible. Two wit nesses swore that they considered the plaintiff' and his assistant, who had been transported, as par nobile fratrutn or birds of a feather. A long argument ensued as to the admissibility of cer tain evidence in Justification, and some questions were reserved for the consideration of the Judges. Baron Woon, in his charge, said it was for the Jury to say whether the libel, which he believed to be - a most scandalous one, had been fairly justified.• The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501. The case lasted until half-past ten o'clock at night OLE) BAILEY. Yesterday John Newmhier and Thomas Crawley were in dicted capitally for assaulting Edward Bowerbank, on the King's highway, and taking from his person a metal watch, value 81. The Jury found both the prisoners—Guilty. The prosecutor begged to recommend the prisoners to mercy on account , of. there youth and the good character they had received. The Jury wished also to join in this recom mendation. The two prisoners, who were both extremely young, the one being only seventeen and the other eighteen, were not dis missed from the dock without a suitable, admonition from► the RECORDER. At the conclusion of the Sessions, sentence of death' would be inevitably passed upon them, and he feared that there was little hope that in such a case as this the royal mercy would be extended. It was, indeed, high time that a stop should be put to these frequent street robberies, and that others should be deterred by the punishment of those who were detected. The prosecutor and the jury had humanely recom mended the prisoners to mercy, and it should be communi cated to the proper quarter ; but he strongly advised the young - men to prepare seriously for death: SUN. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE.-EXAMINATIOX OF THE RIOTERS IN WESTMINSTER ON MONDAY NlGHT.—Yesterday, thirty .Irish labourers were brought from the watch-house, and ex amined before Mr. RAYNSFOUD, Mr. WHITE, and Mr. MARKLAND (Sir R. B iotiE, of Bo w-strea,was on the Bench), charged with creating a desperate riot on Monday nisbt in Westminster, and obstructing the ..Police in the execution of, their duty. Robert Walsh, Thomas Walsh, Peter fife Manus, Lake) Mc Donough, David Halligan_, and Martin Gallighan, were first placed at the bar; wh en Mr. Richard Hudson, landlord of the Duke's Head, Great Peter-street, stated that on the pre ceding night, about nine o'clock, he was in the cellar, when he was informed two men were fighting in the bar ; he came up and separated them, and turned them out ; but at a quarter past nine o'clock a Gentleman brought one Johnson to the back door for protection, they having ill-treated him : the door was no sooner opened, than they all rushed in, broke the win dows, and he was obliged to send for the Police Officers. Penrose Whittle, shipwright, 21, Peter-street, said stones and brickbats were flying in all directions, and the inhabitants were obliged to shut up their shops ; his wife was with him, and they could not get shelter in any place till he came to this Office to give information. A pistol was fired off in Peter street, bltt witness had not seen it. Every person in the street ' was in imminent danger. No less than 200 were altogether engaged, and each party throwing stones. Gilmore, Cooper, and Handly, on their arrival, produced their staves and pistols, and ineffectually endeavoured to re store peace. At last the mob separated, on finding the inha , - bitants took part with the officers. The prisoners took shelter in the houses, where they were afterwaids found concealed, and taken into custody. Several persons whose windows had been broken were ex= amined to that effect, as well as the parish constables and others, who proved the prisoners' identity. This party being taken from the bar, Thomas Walsh, Moir. tin Walsh, Thomas APC6rmiek, Augustine .11FManus, John Brannon, &c. were put in their place. William Johnson described the outrage committed upon him, and identified Thomas M`Cormiek and to be the ringleaders. Several of the Police identified the other prisoners to have been active in the riot. Dennis Glyn, J. Walsh, J. Rieby, Dennis .31' Carty, James Carty, and T. Murphy, were next examined, and their identity was also proved. Nixon, conductor of the Police, who, it will be recollected, acted. under Sir R. BIRNIE, on the occasion of the r.•w-street conspiracy, knew Carty. White identified Dennis Glyn. lie had a large knife when taken into custody, and others of the gang were armed with pokers, &c. Mr. Whittle said Glyn had the knife concealed, and would not give it up till he was compelled, but he said at the watch house, he was eating his supper when the officers came into his lodging, and one.of the prisoners were concealed under the bed, and some in the closets. The Magistrate ordered Hughes to be detained, and give 24 hours notice of bail. Martin Walsh, Thomas Jennings, Edward Jones, John Do.: nougue, John Macquin, 'Martin - Durkir, Cornelius Efferson, Anthony Langdon, and others, were now brought in, and ex amined ; but therg were only two of this party identified to have been concerned in the affray, therefore they were dis.. charged for want of proof. A boy, about 14 years of age, proved that Devany fired a pistol out of the window of his lodging, N 0.2, St. Ann's-lane ; but it turned out he had been taken in a closet, at No. 3. The Magistrate inquired the state of the wounded man. It was. said he had been fighting with a stick, when he received a ball in the groin, but he was able to go into his lodging afterwards, and lie upon his bed, and from thence was carried to the Hop. pital, where upon examination the wound was found to be only of, a slight nature. There was po proof who had fired the pis tol., and no pistol had been found upon any of the prisoners. The Magistrate ordered Devany to be detained, until the fate of the wounded man is known, and the rest, who had been iden tified, to find bail. ' _ _ Mary Donoughe was then charged with furnishing stones and brickbats for the men to throw upon their opponents, and Ellen Conway was charged with throwing stones out of her room window upon the officers, &c. The former woman being well known at the Office as a troublesome person, was ordered to find bail, and Mrs. Conway was discharged. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday a poor woman applied to the sit ting Magistrate, Mr.HAL Ls, for assistance to enable her to make her way back to Preston, in Lancashire, and in support of her claim she told the following rather singular story :—She and an other woman, both natives of Preston, had formerly lived servants with the late Crouch, the celebrated singer ; and when she died she bequeathed to her fellow-servant an annuity of 101. per annum, to be paid by a Mr. Kelly, her executor. When she was on her death-she also gave her a ring, desiring her if she should eve'r be in distress to present it, or cause it to be pre sented, to his present Majesty, and inform him that it was the dying request of Mrs. Crouch, that he would relieve her faith ful servant if ever she should require it. Within the last year, Mr. Kelly, the executor, had, from some cause or other, reduced the annuity from 101. to 51. Before this the applicant and her fellow-servant had lived together at Preston, and sub sisted very comfortably upon their earnings and the annuity, but the reduction of it distressed them very, much, and it was ar ranged between them that the applicant should come to London and try the effect of a personal application to Mr. Kelly ; and if that failed, she was to make the experiment recommended by their deceased mistress with the ring. She came about a fortnight ago, and waited upon Mr. Kelly, but could not prevail upon him to raise the annuity to its former amount. She next turned her thoughts to the subject of the ring, which was to have such an alchyrnic effect; and having made inquiries as to the best mode of approaching the Royal presence, she was advised by some person to go first of all to the Home-office. She did so, and related her story to Mr. Hobhouse, the under Secretary of State, and he advised her to make application at the King's Palace. To the Palace she went, and there she repeated her tale to Mr. Watson, one of the Royal household, but he ap peared to treat it as an idle story, and told her she could not see the King. Having thus failed in all quarters, and having spent all her moneything and parted with every she had, she was anxious to obtain such relief as would enable her to go home. Mr. HALLS told her he thought ;the was a very silly woman to come all the way to London and lose her time and money upon the faith of such a wild and improbable story. She must, however, be taken care of, awl he . would adopt the proper mea sures to send her• home, where he hoped she would remain for the rest of her life. - • The parish officers of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, were then applied to, and they undertook to have her sent home.—(Morn. ing Paper.) PRICE SEVENPENCE. CHINA. We yesterday insetted a letter from Wey mouth; relative to the' unfortunate occurrence which has suspended for the present our com mercial intercourse with China. Our intelli gence, as we stated, came from the Farquharson East Indiaman, which left China on the first of April, and reached Weymouth on the c27th inst. The following are the particulars of this unlucky transaction, as related in another letter from "Weymouth, and the subjoined accounts are de rived from other channels " This morning, George Adams, Esq. Purser of tife Hon. East India Company's ship Farquharson, landed b'ere froth China, after a passage of 117 days, charged wish officia l despatches to the Directors of the . Hon. East India-,Company, stating, that his Majesty's ship Topaze, Capt. Richardsen, was anchored off Lintin, and had sent a party of men on shore to procure water; they quarrelled with the inhabitants, who had assembled to the number of nearly 300. Capt. R, being absent, from the ship, and the First Lieutenant perceiving the danger the party were in, gave orders to Are from theship, to cover their retreat, by which one native was killed and five wounded, one of them since dead; fourteen of the crew a the Topaz , : are wounded, and inconsequence of Captain It. refusing to give up his men (who killed the Chinese) to their Government, an Edict, dated December 31, 1821, has been issued; prohibiting all - trade with England. Commercial people. concerned. with the English, and all resident agents, are ordered to quit the country immediately, only allowing the ships six months' pro. visions. One ship only, which had completed her cargo, and the passport signed, was allowed . to proceed; all others to de part *'ithout their cargoes~" We subjoin here an accuratc account of the events which follovfed. It was on the .mod of December that the trade was first stopped by the Viceroy of Canton. On the 4th of January all the Hon. Company's treasure was shipped at Canton in the boats of the fleet, and put onboard the Waterloo; and on the Bth, all British subjects were realm mended to quit Canton and Macao, and the Hon:Company's ships Windsor and Farquharson were despatched to 31acoa- to afford shelter and protection to those who chose to embark ; with one exception, all the British in 'Macao embarked on the 10th ; and on that day the President of the Factory hauled down the British Union, and, carrying it with him, accom panied by the other Gentlemen and Commanders of the fore Company's ships, proceeded td Wharnpoa, (where the ships had made previous arrangements for sailing, having completed their water and provisions), and the following day sailed for Second tan Pilots were forbidden all the Company's ships. During the stay of tht fleet at Second Bat, the Select Corn. mittee had several communications with the Chinese Govern. merit, through the medium of the Hong merchants, but all to no purpose. The Committee were placed in a very delicate and embarrassing situation; but, as on former occasions, dis played steadiness and firmness. - On the 18th of January, whilst his Majesty's frigate Topaze, Hon. Company's ships Windsor and Farquharson, and several country ships, were lying at Lintin, dispatches were received from the Select Committee, and in half an hour after all the ships had weighed under orders of the frigate, and stood to wards the Forts of Bocca Tigris ; it was then understood the fleet was to pats through. When the frigate hove in sight of the forts, they fired a few shots, as did the war junks, which were collected in great num bers; but they were soon silenced by a shot from the bow guns of the Topaze, and all the junks weighed and sailed in dif ferent directions. On the 2f)th of January, the fleets passed the forts Bocca Tigris in line of battle, and anchored at Chuenpee, where they were joined by his Majesty's frigate Topaze, Hon. Company's ship Farquharson, and several country ships. The Hong merchants came to Chuinke on the •2)th of Ja nuary, and left the following day to return as soon as possible with the result of an interview they anticipated. the Viceroy Would give them. Matters had assumed a most serious ap. pearance, and it was the opinion of those immediately charged with the management of the negociations, that no amicable adjustment would take place. The boats of the fleet were employed in discharging to the several ships, in portions, the cargo of the country ship Sus a n . (which was freighted by the Bengal Government to China with cotton), and also in foading the Hon. Company's ship Kent with teas from the other ships that hail received some part of their cargoes on board before the rupthre took place. The Repulse (whose cargo is completed) anti the' Kent will be the only two ships\ to follow, but are likely to be detained some time to carry home despatches.. On the day the Farquharsoleft China, it was said a 'copy of an Edict; received from the Chinese by the Portuguese Governor of Macao, had been transmitted to Chuenpee, requiring the im mediate departure from Macao of all British subjects, which caused much apprehension for their safety. The Edicts or Letters of the Viceroy of Canton are full of re petitions of the argument that the English Richardson's ship of war (as the Topaze is styled), hating been employed to con voy the trade, ought to be altogether on the same footing as the Company's ships, and that 'therefore' the affair should not he regarded as between the two Governments, but should be left to the management of the Hong merchants. ,An offer is made to collect the Chinese present at the affray, and give the English an opportunity of selecting those by whom any of them were wounded; and, on the other hand, it is required that one of the British crew shall be given up to be tried and pu nished, on the ground that it is a general rule in and out of , China that "he who kills a man shall forfeit his life." This was the general substance of the answers to the applications of " the English Chief and his colleagues." The last of. these Edicts, dated the ltith of January, concludes thus : - " I now hereby order the 1-long merchants to enjoin my or ders on the said Chief and his colleagyes, and say, since the foreigners in the said ship of war of the said Nation, within our territory, caused the death of natives, the murderer or mur derers who killed the people is or arc in the said ship of war, and, according to the Laws of the Celestial Empire, it is. in cumbent to bring forward the parties, try, judge; and penis:: them at the place where the crimes were , committed.— Since the said Naval. Officer knows this is an afiliir of importance, he ought, forthwith, to take the murderers and de . - liver them up, nor can he succeed in making preteitts of return-. ing home and departing to the said country. Let the Hong merchants immediately communicate my orders to the Chia and the others, saying that their minds may ,be perfectly quiet, and they may, in the first place,, return to the Foreign Factories, and, at same time, address themselves to . the Naval OfF e cer of the said country, telling and command. inghim to deliv!: up the foreign murderers, for he is not again permitted with empty words to annoy by statements. As for the rest, obey former Edicts, and manage according to the tenor thereof. A SPECIAL EDICT. . ‘rl'aott 'Luang, Ist year, 12th Moot, and 30th diiy." It is believed that the Chinese hpve been influenced in some measure in this affair by their suecessiri their demand upon the Americans in Octobei last, • when, it will -be recollected, a fo reign sailor under that flag was given up foi an alleged murder bf a woman, and after a mock trial at Canton was crualy tor tured and put to death. flout 9}d. ,ois 4 5i 22i cwi• 361 r qt• cwtv
