The Plaintiff, a driver of a Stage-coach froth Lon don to Edmonton, brought this aCtion against the Defendant for an assault and battery,. committed upon hip.). by the Defendant, at Edmonton, 'in Ja nuary last. Mr: PARK stated the'case, with some, strong ani-, inadversions upon the conduEt of the Defendant, who was a stock-broker, and a,man of fortune, and one from whom gentlemanly conduel might rather' have been -expeCted than that he should be guilty of a brutal assault. The, witnesses for the Plaintiff proved that Isaacs stopped with his coach at -the Angel Inn, at Edmonton, ,and went to deliver the Evening Paper there ; when the Defendant, who was a Member of a Subseription-rbom for reading the Evening Paper, and was waiting to see the news, , came out and desired to have the Paper. Isaacs re fused to give it him, because he said his instructions were to deliver it always at the bar first. The De fendant then began abusing him, called him liar,and thief, and struck him twice, and afterwards spit in his face ; upon which Isaacs gave hint a slap in the face, .and palled off his great coat hi order to turn to and thrash him. When the 'Defendant had re ceived the slap in the face, he said,. that is all I wanted,' and turning to a,rnan who was sitting upon the box, and now appeared as a witness ter the' Plaintiff, he,asked him his name, to which the wit ness replied, he should not give it him then ; that the coachman had served him pYoperly, and if he had knycked his head off he would have done right: The Mistress:of the.Angel'lnn proved that some words passed between the Plaintiff and Defendant near the bar of the house, when the Defendant came and appealed to her husband, whether be was not to have the paper;, they went out together, and shortly atter the cOachman came in, and said Flower was,a filthy beast, for. he had spit in his face. She observed he had some wet on his face, the appearance of which confirme'd . his assertion. She did not see the blows pass.. A Lady who was in the coach at the time, con firmed the statement of the 'first witness, as to the Defendant striking-the Plaintiff. The Defendant' afterwards preferred a bill of in ditStment against the'Plaintiff for an assault, but did not appear to prosecute it. Mr. GARROW, for the Defendant, addressed the Jury very forciblY up - on the improbability of the story told by the first witness•for the Plaintiff, who represented Mr. Flower as all brute and savage, and the coachthan as a most pet - fed gentleman. 'His conduCt upon being 'spit upon was more like a petit maitre than a coachman.—" Oh the filthy 'brute, he has spit in my face," . was not like the language of such a man ; he would rather have said " the fellow thought he could spit upon me; but rturned wand drubbed him handsomely." He called a Witness who had been a servant of the Defendant, and who said, that upon coming up with a lanthorn to the house, he saw the Plaintiff come out of the Angel Inn, and after some abusive language, he struck his master seven or eight times. He said the coach was a good way frem the Inn: He had been to West minster-hall to give evidence before the Grand Jury. He did not see the beginning of the fray, Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed, that this witness did not in faU contradid what the. ether witnesses had stated, for. it. happened after the time of which they were speaking. The Jury,- after a few moments consultation, re tfirned_a verdiCt for the Plaintiff—Damages 501. • A CIIINESE BED CHAMBER. We understand that a. Spanish mercantile house lately received an order, from the Court of Spain for the complete furniture and decoration of a bed chamber, fitted . up agreeably to the Chinese costume. .Such an article is now in a state of. great rbrward ness. It is, without exception, of the most costly and magnificent arrangement ever witnessed in this country. The bedstead is composed of pillars in rich bur nished gold, at the base of, which are placed green. and - gold dragons ; lizards, and other Chinese in se&s, entwine around the pillars. These pillars again support a most noble canopy, at.the angles of which are placed similar dragons, supporting trans parent janterns,, richly mounted ib or;thotaii, and decorated with variegated cut-glass, in imitation of emeralds, sapphires, &c. The whole of this canopy is divided into compartments ; on the outside, with highly gilt mouldings, and covered with the richest crimson satin. A pheasant, the emblem of Chinese ROyalty, surmounts -the whole. The' curtains and counterpane of this -bed are of the richest foreign crimson silk, fancifully embroidered in colours. The borders are worked in various devices, with real gold. The curtains are made irr a style to correspond, each being finished With the dome, equally grand with the bedstead. The carpet is made entirely of silk, after the manner of the Persiang, with a border of gold. The moveables of this room are painted green ; the or naments of which are of the best or-indulu, made at Paris. There are six .pannels, in this room, namely, from the basement to the, cornice, tilled with plate-glass, on which are painted Cilinese land scapes, after the manner of that country. In the centre of the room is suspended a very handsome transparent lustre, on which appears the moon and stars, in gold ; the ground of the lamp being blue. We mentioned some time since the marriage of the Hon. Miss to a young gardener. The Chester Paper says upon this subje& Our Read ers will recolle& having seen in the London Prints, a few weeks since, an account Of a Nobleman's daughter being smitten .with the person of, and mar ried to, a young - gardener.-He. is. a native - of the neighbourhood of Wrexham, and arrived there with his fair and noble spouse on Monday last, where they intend' residing." The shop of Mr. Sargent, watch-maker, in Jer• myn-street, was beset by three fellows, one 'evening last week, who were. observed lurking about, the shop-1,015d0w. A young man in the shop attempt- . ed to see what they were doing, but the knocker .of the door was fastened to the railing, so as to pre vent its being opened. The thieves Made theit ‘ escape, but pra4tsed the same stratagem in -an hour after, broke the. shop window, and decamped with many valuables, before the door could be opened.— A similar robbery was committed in Swallow-street, on Saturday evening, and another attempt was made on Monday night in Oxford-street.

In the year t 803 a numerous body of ArabianS of the seed of the Wahabees, under their leader, the invincible, and, as they think, divine, Abdul (the BONAPARTE of Arabia), twice sacked the city of Mecca, destroyed the Tomb of the Great Prophet Mahomet, and committed dreadful ravages on the unfortunate inhabitants of all that, 'country. After this he subdiled Medina, another city sacred in the eyes of all good • Mussulmen, and conquered nearly all the country Situated above - MOCha on the Eastern side of the Red Sea, introducing a new'religiba en tirely subversive of the Mahometan faith. Somili of the followers of Abdul betOok thethselves to A new employment, that of plunderingand destroyHi the Vessels of every nation that sailed on the Rea -Sea. Among the rest, Mahomed Ikle distinguished himself, having purchased the Island Carnorin of the Sheriff, or -Prince of Loheya, whicla is made his head-onirters, and froth 'Whencehe has spread more terror than did the lincbane6rS for merly against. the Spaniards. He sail's:in a sta'onz, well armed Vessel, with a numerous crew,- made tip of fanatics like himself, and-enemies to every na— tion excepting their own, 'the'l.Valtribees. Unfor tunately this Pirate was, with- his Ship, at Mucha,,,, when the ill-fated Captain ORNE - arrii..ed in thap Essex, off' Salem, with (50,000 dollars, to pur=chase cargo of coffee. CtitK..e was -tint to be had at mar ket, and Capt. ORNE Was altogether at a loss, how to proceed. An ErL;li,h Merchant - ('whose name we have not learned) understanding- the embarrassed 'situation of Capt. OlitiE, informed him, that if he would pro ceed GO Miles thrther up to a town called Hadido, he would there prsocure coffee lower _ than usmilly asked for it at M.,cha, and oiFered himself to go itt the Essex, and ei,eente the whole business for-thy, trifling commission of 'su per cent. Captain OR NE listened to this advice, and finally agreed to it. The Pirate Mahomed by some means ciine to the knowledge of all these circumstances, and had the address to pq,suade Captain OitNE to re ceive on board'about thirty of his crew to hap to navigate the Vessel, and pilot her to Had;do. Tit* Essex sailed in company -with the 'Pirate's Ship ; night approached, but, alas ! not one pf the una,rat nate crew were ( fated to behold their country ap";:in, or the light of another day. At a given signal, the pirates on board feli,upon the crew with their kni es, the Corsair ranged alongside, and in a few minutes not an Arnerican was left to tell the sad tale of their destruction.. Theheadless body of the Captain, and mutilated carcase of the Englishman, floated on shore ; and, being recognized, ,received the rites of burial in a far distant land. The Essex was pluudercd and burnt. On Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, the body of a man, unknown, apparently about 55 yt , :its of age, and 5 feet 8 inches high,. dr e ss e d i n a lig!:t drab great coat, a pepper and salt coloured under coat, buff cloth waistcoat, with the regimental but ton of the R. H. G. bucktin breeches, tan loather gaiters, very good shirt and shoes, and a good ha% was discovered, with his throat eut, in a tied be longing to Mr. Douglas, near the- Holt House, a little on this side Wokiugharn, Berkshire;. a few halfpence were found ip his pocket, and a clap knife; under him there was laying a raz or , (n.edlia a wooden handle, so as nOt to be shut.--A Coo- .per's Inquest, was taken, when the Jury, halind fully considered the case, returned a spceial verdia, according to the circumstances.

POLITIC,IL CRO4KIIVG. THE gross inconsistency between the allegations urged against Government, and an acknowledgment of the.ctitical posture of National Affaiii, has induced a Political Wag to digest theni both into the follow ing. MaxiMs : • 1. It Will require many years to repair the errors and misfortunes of past times ; ,therejbre the Mi nistry are to blaMe for not having done it in six months. 2. An increased annual Revenue may be neces sary ; and Hier fore every addition to the Revenue ought to be opposed. . 3. It is almost impossible to devise new Taxes ; and therefore it is highly improper to continue the old. 4., The security,of persons and property is a-bless ing for which the people ought to be very grateful ; and thertiliire they ought to be taught that it is not worth paying for. 5. Unanimity was never more necessary. titan at the present crisis ; and therefore the revival of an cient and almost forgotten animosities is highly de sirable. 6. The• people look up with confidence to an union of talents and integrity in administration ; and thertfore every person so ()notified, who composes a part of administration, must be c a scoundrel. 7. We have the misfortune to contend with an enemy whom no treaties can bind ; therefore we ought to repose with confidence on any terms he is pleased to propose. 8. A brave man, whose wounds in his country's cause are yet bleeding, is an objet of the highest. interest and admiration; and therefore he is to be held tip to.public scorn, as a man unworthy of the people's affection. 9. The most splendid talents are necessary for men in high situations ; and theqfore men of that description ought to be excluded from them. 10. A man tells another, Opt in certain eirenm stancs he is sure he would AO like a scoundrel ; and therefore cannot be supposed to mean any thing personal. Mr. N. who .was wounded' in a duel Withcm Irish Gentleman on Wednesday se'nnight, at Wal tham Grove, died on Thursday„last. A Coroner's, Jury sat on the body, and f t. a the testimony ad duced, it appeared that the deceased had sent three challenges to his antagonist, - the last of which gave him the choice of a meeting or a horse-whipping. The altercation originated in consequence of the surviving man having caused the niece of the de ceased to elope with him, whom he afterwards mar- ried.
