EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT LITERPOOL, DATED AUG. 12. We have io atrivals this day from the United States, end only one yesterday, the Drynde, PLUYMER i from Alexandria, with flour, in 24 days. Arrived this evening' the Integrity, from Mirainiclii, in 23 days—cargo, timber.

The Liverpool Packet will sail on Tuesday or lirednesday next, for Boston.---Our Corn Mai ket ibis day was exceedingly dull ; American Flour 495. per barrel. It is plain that the Morning Chronicle, with all its eagerness, and all its industry, to discover good cause for accusations against Government, have nothing that they can distort into a reasonable ground of complaint, and, therefore, like a cer tain Being, whom we will not mention " to ears polite," is ready " to play at a small game rather than stand out." For this purpose it bKs to-day returned to the hackneyed subject of the trial. of APKINLEY, at Edinburgh, and is very angry because a compliment was paid to the LORD ADVOCATE, who put an end to the uir.l, when he found th;.t the chief witness was a wretch wholly unworthy of confi dence. But the Chronicle is also angry because persons of a respectable character in life did not think it necessary to come forward to contradict the statement of this infamous witness. They were not called on to do so by the Court ; and it would have been strange, indeed, if they had ob truded into notice on charges from such a pollut ed source. The following is the wind-up of the Cizronicle's speculations on this exhausted sub- ject :-- " Whether it was that the facts of the case were too subborn to be moulded and fitted to the law which was attempted to be fastened upon them, or that the legal knowledge of the LORD ADVO* cArg was too slender to make all the use which could be made of the means which the law gave him ; whether justice was toiled by the clumsi ness °Lille Law Officer, or the subject aggrieved by the unfounded and harassing proceedings to which he was oppressively subjected, there is but one feeling on the,subject, vii. that such a case may not again occur even in Scotland " We shall say nothing of the gross insult implied in the first part of the alternative, but we believe our Readers will agree with us in deeply lament ing that the Loup Anvocarri does not possess the wonderful faculties, and profound legal knowledge of the Morning Chronicle ! ! ! • There are people, we understand, so excessifey stupid or so dead to every libet•al sentiment, as to suppose that we support the political character of Sir Eamicts BURDETT, because we defend his con duct on grounds of justice, honour and humanity, for not deserting a friend oho was in a situation involving his reputation and his life. The opi nions of such people ought to be treated will) silent contempt. Our opinion of the political principles of the Baronet are the same as they. always were and always will be, unless his poli- tical character shall undergo ktetal change but we shall never suffer politics to blind us to an act of private condUct, in any individual, that may deserve respect and commendation.

The following is given as a statement of the affair :—As the Noble Lord was driving its an open carriage into Holborn from Fleet -street, the crowd of carriages which at that tune was passing along Holborn bridge occasioned a temporary stoppage of the vehicles that were proceeding through Fleet market. Among those was one Of the descrip tion called a tax-cart, driven by a man said to he a baker, who had been in the rear, and who en deavoured to break out of the line, arid push for ward immediately before his Lordship. Lord ERSKINE stretching out his whip before the cart horse's head, and with no more force, it appeared, than was proper to intimate a wish to restrain the intended irregularity, was instantly assaulted by the driver with a violence and ferocity which the feel ings of a man cannot bear to recite, or reprobate in terms of adequate indignation and abhorrence. The ruffian respected neither sex, nor rank, nor age but repeated his attacks upon the Lady and his Lordship, till the instrument of his outrage became broken iu his hands. The demeanour of his Lordship during the whole of the affair was ita all respects becoming his distinguished rank and character. He received the addresses of such Gentlemen as rushed forward in his defence, who were ‘vitnesses of the assault, to enable him to have recourse to the only power to which it was befitting him to appeal—THE LAW.
