MILITARY INQUIRY.

Fourth Report of the Commisiostets of Military !ninny, re-
@sieving the Office of the Barrack•Merter.t.3enerals end
Barrack Buildings, with a Supplement to the First and
Third Reports.
This interesting document has been just printed,
and, with the Appendix.. contains 389 folio pages.
We can, therefore, only give a sketch of this
Report.
It begins with dividing the Barrack Accommo-
dations in Great Britain, Jersey, and Juernsey, ex-
cept the budding' in fortified places, which are still
eresited under •the direflion of the Ordnance, into
three kinds. viz.-Ist, Permanent or established ;
2d, Temporary, the property of Government ;
and, Sd, I emporary, hired.
The ereCtion of such buildings (the hired ex-
cepted) it states, has, in all cases, originated with
the Commander in Chief, who has, from time to
time, signified his intentions on that head, to the
Barrack Master General.
But the Order of the Commander in Chief has
not of itself been considered as a sufficient authority
for the Barrack Master General to incur the ex-
pense. It was necessary that each measure should
receive the canaion either of the Lords of His Ma-
jesty's Treasury, or the Secretary at War, and this
may be called the Firveneial Authority.
The R. ut then goes on to cite cases, to chew,
that these Orders ani Authorities were not always
communicated to the Barrack Master General in

the same manner, the last et which cases took place
in 1801, in which year. in pursuance of a letter
dated the 15th May, from Lord Hobart, then one
of the Secretaries of State, to the Barrack Master
G ineral, barracks were ended for 50,003 men, and
10.000 horses.
By His Majesty's regulations of the 7th of Fe-
bi uteri, 1804, however, by which the Barraek Office
has trona that time been, an& now is concluded, the
au:hol hies necessary to he ohtained, previously to the
eiveinn of any barrack, are more expressly and
clearly defined than they were at any antecedent
prod By the Four h Article of those regulations,
it is directed, that wiienever there shall be a neces-
iity for ereflii.g new buildings, or fur making al-
terations or repairs m those already built, where
such alteratiie s or repairs shall erred the sum of
50;a1. the Barrack Master General is, previously
to the execution, to cause a plan to be prepared,
accompanied by as, estimate of the expense, which
plan awl estimate are to be prepared upon oath,
and steunitted to the Cummatider in Chief and to
the Lord, of the Treasury for their approbation ;
which plans and estimates, when so apieroved, are
to be the authority for undertaking such buildings,
repairs, or alterations, &c. and under these new
regulations. barracks have been since built at Canter.

he Dirodions of the s.ommander in Chief, of
which we have already seuktn,in all eases prescribed
to the Barrack Master Genital the g.ineral situation
intended of the barrack or oilier building, as a
measure decide.; upon ; but still the particular site
or position has in many ii.stat.ces been left to the
determination of the fiariack Master General ; and
Linutenam G•ineral De Lancey has stated to us, that
iu this respell he relied entirely, both as to the site
anti the price to be given for it, on his own judg.
mem. enticing ifiquii ies on she spot by himself and
the officers he employed. This duty, he says, he
executed personally for the greater part of his time,
but from the great pressure of business and al health,
he was obliged lam sly to confide it to others ; and
he adds, that the sites in many lease; depended
upon the possibility of procuring the land, and that
very frequently there was no altetuative as to price
or site : he also stated to us, that upon all such oc-
casions, advantage was taken of the exigencies of
Government. Ou our inquiry, whether he could
refer us to any correspondence in the office in sup-
port of this latter opinion ? he referred us to the case
of Bray bourne Lease, in the county of Kent. We
accordingly required all the docunicau in the office
relating to this land, and the history of the trans-
adjoin appears to be this :
Oa the 10th July, 1803, the late Barrack Master
General applied to Sir John Honeywood, as Lord
of the Manor is which Brayboutne Lease (or
Common) was situated, for permission to occupy it
as a military station, proposing to pay a fait rent
er cempensation for any damage which might ac-
crue. On the 4th August fallowing, an agreement
WAS made between Sir John Honey WOOd and Lieu-
tenant General De hammy. whereby, in consider-
ation of 5751. the estimated value of the stock of
rabbits on braybeurne Witten, and of the yearly
rent of 751. Sir Jahn Honey wood agreed to grant
a lease for 21 years to Lieutenant General De Lan.
cey, of so much aid of such part of the said Warren
or Common, as might be wanted fur the purpose of
treeing barracks thereon. On the Ist ot Septem-
ber, the Rev. A. Purshouse, the Vicar of Bray.
bourne, represented to time Barrack Master General,
that he and the other commoners on the land (which
it seems had been then taken possession of) were
very materially injured in their rights ; asking for
compeneation, and stating that Sr John Honey-
wood had no power of inclosiire, or any right to sell
or lease any part of the Common, and that the corn.

. .
moans protes:ed against any payments being made
to him on that pr;nciple. to a subsequent letter, Mr.
Po:anomie, after admitting that Sir J tihn Honeywood
might be entitled to the rabbits on the common,
states, that as Sir John Honeyrrord did not possess
one acre in the parish of Braybourne, he had not re-
served to himself the power of turning out one
angle head cf stock to grate on the Coninsoi. ;
Putshonse asserts, therefore, the invalidity of the in-
strument under which the possession of the soil had
beers LANG by the Barrack Master General. Nc.t.-
sv, I.s tanning these representatton3, it does not np-
?car tLat I f Joim lionevword was called oil

to settle the matter is dispute with the com-
moners, or to make good his title to receive• a
rent for the occupation of the land ; on the con-
trary, we learn that the rent of 751. per annum. for
about eleven acres of common, was regularly paid
to him to the time of his death in March last, and
that the claims of the commoners still remain un- I
satisfied : but in consequence of our inquiries,
which were not made till atter Sir John Honey- '
wood's death, we understand it has been recom-
mended to the Barrack Office. that the above rent
should no longer be paid, as no legal right to the
possession of the land was given by the agreement
with Sir John Honeywood ; and the parties interest-
ed in the Common have been informed, that the
Barrack Office would give such compensation as
should be awarded by a Jury thing under the au-
thority of the Defence raft, The rabbits on this
Common, for which 5751. were paid to Sir John
Honeywood, were not taken and sold for the benefit
of Government ; the pressure of the service (it is
said) admitting of no delay, but were destroyed by
the workmen employed about the barracks.
Such is the transadion with respeft to the land at
Bravbourne Leaze ; and in the course of the exa-
mination of the many papers we have had before us,
respeding the purchase of land for the barrack ser-
vice, we have i■ several other instances observed
the ptices paid by Government to be so large as to
afford clear proof (independently of the general
statement made by General De Lancey to that ef-
fed) that advantage had been taken or the exigency
of the occasion. Amongst others, we noticed parti-
cularly. that a small piece of land, which was
wanted for squaring the barracks at Perth, in addi-
tion to the land granted by the Corporation, was
paid for at the rate of 500 guineas per Scotch
Acre. The vicinity to the town of Perth probably
raised the value of this Lind very considerably ; and
we are aware that a similar circumstance must in
very many leases have been the cause of the high
prices paid by Government, for land wanted for
public purposes ; but in this case, the additional
piece of land does not seem to have been absolutely
necessary fir the occupation of the barracks, and
to have been required more for the sake of unifor-
mity of appearance, than for atay put pose of atria
Utility.
The unwiliirgness of gentlemen to have a bar-
rack in their neighbourhoid, has been also found to
be the cause of exorbitant demands ; and, in order to
remove these impediments in the way of Govern.
ment, it was provided by the Ad of the 43,1 of the
present Reign, usually called the Defence Ad, that
it shall he lawful for His Majesty to authoti,e any
General Officer, &c. to choose the ground ; and
if thi owner refuse the price offered, to summon a
Jury to assess the value. and oblige the party to
accept the price so ascertained, provided the neces-
sity of occupying such ground be certified by the
Lord Lieutenant, or two Deputy Lieutenants el the
county, in which the said land is situate ; or, in the
case of actual invesion of the United Kingdom.
Under this Ad, the sites or positions of Barracks
have of late bean determined upon, but the Report
admits that the Defence Aft does not prevent the
public from still paying very largely, the sites :e-
-lated for Barracks having frequently, from their
proximity to towns, and other circumstances, bean
considered of such great value, as to justify Juries
in awarding very high prices so the owners, as in
the cases of the Dunbar, Haddington, and Mussel.
burgh Barracks, for the sites of which a large emir-
peusation was awarded to the owners, particularly
in the case of Dunbar, and a piece of ground,
near Bellhaven, to the Earl of Lauderdale
Previous also to the passing of the Defence Ad,
when the titles could only be procured in the usual
mariner by voluntary metals with the respedive
owners, the Report state. the public interests were
not sufficiently proteded, as evidence of which, it
states the Barracks of Sunderland, which were built
in 1795, under a lease from the Grassmen of the
Corporation of that town, to Mr. Windham, then
Secretary at War, for 21 years, but without any
covenant ffir renewal of the term ; and the case of
the new Barracks at Lewes, built on land Or proper-
ty of the Duke of Dor.et,the right to the possession
of which by Government would have expired on the
.sth Sept. 1805. But to remedy the inconvenience
attending this invalid mode of conveyance, an Ad
, was passed on the 25th Jane, 1805, vesting all such
buildings in the Barrack Master General for the time
being ; by the operation of which, as by the De-
fence Aa, he is enabled to acquire such further
estate as he may think necessary, in any land
occupied for the barrack service; the public will
ca•ly pay such price for the extension of their in-
terest in the land, as it is really worth, in the judg-
ment of a jury, independent of the budding', &c.
The Report having detailed all the information
which the Committee could coiled with respeft to the
plans and specifications of the buildings, and the na-
ture and mode of the agreement or contra!' for the
same, with the checks and controuls, to prevent
fraudulent charges, proceeds to the head of "
Buildings." The annual sum paid for this sort of
buildings, it states, on the authority of a return.
corrated to duly,lBo6, at 31,7021. Os. 9d.; and in its
observations on this head,it states,"thatnoblame can
be attached to the Barrack Office, for the very high
rents paid in the first instance, for the hired build-
ings in the Isle of 'Wight; but that an earlier reduc-
tion of them might have been effetfted." Among
those of this kind, which it says appeared to have
brought a great and improper expense upon the
public, it notices some premises near Chelmsford,
belonging to Sir H. hliidmay, in right of his wife,
held at a rent of 6001. a year, which it recommends
should be given up at the expiration of the present
lease; and also, the hired barrack in Thomas-street,
Winchester, which, with all others of that class, it
recommends should be given up on the first oppor.
tunity ; and to reduce, by every possible means,
the rents of those which it may be necessary to
retain.

Having gone through the several heaJs of
inquiry, the Repnrt states,'tkat the existence at all,
or so long, of many of the abuses and irregu-
larities in this department, is owing to the neglett
of a proper attention to the late Barrack Master
General's accounts ; that if tl.e annual mating-up
and produaion of these accounts, had been pe-
remptorily required, the reprehensible appropriation
of the public money, meaticned in the First Report,
the unauthorised acgmentation of pay and allow-
auce to several offi:ersoui the extravagance in pi ice

of stores, and hire of huilcSoss, would have. beets
checked, or totally prevented.
Had the accounts been examine/. to nuthori•
could have ben poodnced fir the payment of up.
wards of .20001. to the Principal Assistant Barrack
Master General, fer the inspedlion of barracks,
which mast therefore have been disallowed. or re-
ferred to the Treasury for approbation. The allow-
ances paid in lieu of half pay, amounting latterly to
30001. per annum, mitre, before they were admit%ed,
have been brought again under the consideration of
Government. The allowance of a per =tap to
the architects would not have been passed by the
Auditors, unless distinctly sanctioned by the Lords
of the Treasury, who would probably have consi-
dered the emohltnent so disproportionable to their
services, as to have suggested some other Mode of
remuneration. On an examination of these ac-
counts, it would have appeared ton, that the last
addition of 2001. per annum to the accountatits.
had been granted without aothority. Another con-
sequence of the delay in examining these accounts,
has been the appointment of another or Second
Accountant to the office, and the allowance to him,
of course, of the like salary of 8001. per annum.
" Much important matter," it says, " which the
Committee should probably have proposed as a
check on the expenditure, has been anticipated by •
the Regulations dire led by His Majesty's warrant.
soon atter the appointment of the present Barrack
blaster General. These provide for the security of
the money issued en account of the Barrack Master
General, by diretling it to be kept at the Bank ;
and against an unnecessary issue to him, by re-
quiring monthly estimates of the sums waved for
the several services in each ensuing month. to be de-
livered to the Treasury, together with a statement of
the balance inland, and of theout-standing demands
on it ; and by requiring the quarterly books of all sa-
httits, and of the contingenelesof the Barrack Depar-
ment, also to be sent to the Treasury before pay-
ment." These, and the other new regulatious under
His Majesty's warrant, it says, appear well calculated
to prevent such mischief as occurted under the
superintendence of the late Barrack Matter Ge-
neral ; but it observes, that the present Barrack
Master General has felt a difficulty, from want of
definite instructions, respeCting the expenditure of
money for other heads of service than buildings
and repain under the amount of 1001. and suggests
that he should have a discretionary power to the
same amount, which he may specify Under every
other head. Considering then the system
adopted in these regulations for checking the ex-
penditure in this Department, the Report con-
cludes with su;Testing, as imptovements, the ap-
poiutment of three Commissioners in the place of
she Barrack Master General, the Deputy Bar-
rack Master General, and the three principal
Assistant Barrack Masters General, to conduCl
the business of that Department; one of them
to be nomin Chairman, with a salary of
1,2001. a year. and the other two 10001. each.
A Secretary and Accountant to the Office, et a
salary of 8001. a year. A Chief Clerk in each of
•he branches of accounts, stores and buildings. at
4001. a ye-r ; which, with a proportionate number
of inferior Clerks, will be a less expense, by 20001
a year, than that of the present establishment. It
then states, that the expense of a house for the
Barrack Master General ought to be saved, upon
the ground, that official hosses, where constant
atten.tence is not necessary, are liable to abuse ;
that all allowances should be abolished, and filed
salaries substituted. The prudence of this sugges-
tion it illustrates by the CAI* of the architefts, who,
exclusive of their official salaries and allowances.
have received, on the account of 21 pet tentage,
upon the amount of the building expenditure,
neatly 40,0001. It therefore recommends, that
they also, like all the other officers and clerks, shall
have fixed salaries, in lieu of all emoluments what-
soever, the first architeel, 8001. a year, and the se-
cond, 6001. a year, with their reasonable expenses,
when ordered up', detached duty. 1 he Report then
concludes with pointing out the duty of the Assistant
barrack Masters General, whom it recommends to re-
sume sheir otiginaloame of Inspedors of DistriCts,
and that they should receive a fixed salary,not exceed-
ing 4001. a year, in lieu of all charges, travelling
etpenses, kc. whatsoever ; and that in all the offices
in the Barrack Department, conneeted with troops,
officers who heree been in the regular army should
be appointed, as likely to be the fittest persons, and
also as their half-pay will be saved to the public
purse. The report finally concludes witha eompli-
, anent to Lieutenant Geeeral Hewitt, for the regular
' delivery of his accounts. though none of them have
been yet audited, since,his appointment to the office
of Barrack Master General.

We hare given, in our preceding columns, I
sketch of the Fouaru fleecier of the Commissi:m.
ers of Military Inquiry. Annexed to it are Supole-
ments to the First and Third Reports. The for crier
relates to General Da LA amity's balance, which was
stated in the First Report at 97,4131. but whit is the
Commissioners now state at 104,9851. ps. 7d. ; they
baring since discovered, that he had receive 4 from
the Army Pay Office a sum of 75701. 9i. 7d. on ae.
cou,nt of staff pay, as Barrack Master Gen eral, for
which he was not debited in the Barrack Offict
books, in which he took credit for the wl sole of his
pay as Barrack Master General, and also al a General
Office: on the Staff. This SUM of 104,! its. 7,1,
is exclusive of dedullions for poundage, tcc. yt•t to be
niade, amounting to upwards of 20001. inaki: ig the
whole of Gen.Dr LANCtv's balance about 10; ,0001.

neral Ebro, relative tr the supply of coals in the

at Brighton. It states, that Major:tetteral fist',
who had the military command in `that Island,
bought, in the ntonths of August and September,
1801, coals from Mr. A11.424,1°21a Daviitin,
the rate of fifty-seven shillings per'chaldron,.whi&
Mr. D A •150 K, for coals delivered to the bairracia
during the said two months, charged Coiernmentt
at the rate of 7t shillings per chaldion for one lor,
and. from 75 to 81 shillings per chaldron for goodie'
lot. Major-Central Este further states, that
on
the 21 st of Odober, 1799, he paid Mr. Roo's' I. tail!'
725. a chaldron for coals ftrrnithed to him at darer'.

Commissioners see no reason to stuped Vine of
collusion with Mr. DAVISON. They think that
4, Mr. lIARG AVE% infehtiatiott justifies them ia
the reit:inks, that owing to the false representation
of the terms under which Mr. Davison was pro.
viding the barrack coals, the Public has paid mucis
higher for them thee would have been the case, had
the real terms been koown I and that in anothei
view of the subjed, the barrack coals might have
been provided by Mr. Davison oa commissio*
without such large contingent expenses as in hit
letter to the late Barrack Master General, of flit
March, 1795, he stated would be necessary ; and
that thereby the public would have saved coital
dteably in Car pace paid for the coals supplied tt
the barracks."

The Supplement concludes wick recothmend4
with the advice of Mr. HANSIAVIS, that con:
trigs fur supply of coals should be for each*.
spedive barrack. and not as is the present prearm
for tage distrids, including generally many kr;
racks.

The Treasury Papers assert that Anthill It et:
paled to declare war against France. Anticialat:
ing this event, they, With their usual Modeith
ascribe it to the confidence which the present Ad.
ministration inspires upon the Continent, and one
of them indeed, yesterday, says 'I it is certain thit
the recent happy change in our Councils hat had
the happ.y 'flea of inducing Box AAAAA Z to mode&
rate his claims upon the Allied Sovereigns, whose
cause, he knows, will now derive front Britain eVert
praEticable, and, we trust, effeaual support)'
They also add, with equal sagacity and lose 4
truth, that the late Ministers were viewed by el
European Governments, with distrust and suspicion..
Unicsi we are grossly misinformed, the imptession
made oh the Continent, and at Vienna in pesticidal-,
by the late changes, was precisely the reverse of
that which these writers insinuate, and which, heti
their utter ignorance of the public opinion on the
Continent, they may very possibly believe, as the
Court of Vienna received the news of the chang4
with consternation, and the recall of Mr. Arica
will very much increase their apprehension and re:
gret. for though the kinsman of the Dukes of R:ca,

recommend him to Mr. *Goo. Ca sltan, the
House of Austria has not shown the disdain of
his humble ori•gin, which was foretold and lattienV.
ed by the Edi,tor of The Courier, nor have we ant
h2sitation to say, that it would be impossible t
choose a ottccestor, whose nomination could be
more agrfgoable to that Court, than the continuance
'of Mr. Anna. With respeft to St. Petersburght
the opinion entertained there of Mr. Foe, and the
devotion of that Court to his system of FOrigi
Polities, are well known throughout all Europe.
Indeed, the testimonies of praise bestowed upon lii
niconery, even from the highest quarters id that
vcuotry, while they afforded the most heartfelt sant,
gaftion to his friends, might perhaps suggest a doubt
how far any British Administration, which was not
guided by his maxims, and governed by his Oa
could insure that union and concert, cemenol
during the last Administration, and now happitY
subsisting between the two Courts.

Captain STOPPOttI, with the transports and troops.
These Dispatches were brought by the Pauline, and
wlsee she left the Cape, the whole expedition was
preparing to sail. The troops, we are happy to state,
were all in high health and spirits. When this ex- 1,
peclition sailed from Falmouth, conjefture, with m-
oped to its destination, was divided between the
Mauritius and South America. Ttie former now
appears to be the more probable of the two.
About a month befote the Pauline sailed, the
Harrier had arrivessi at the Cape from India. She
bad parted from the Bl4n4eing, bearing Sir TKossas
Tammetasit's flag, and the Jana frigate, in a
burricatv, to the Eastward of the Island of Mada-
pscar. It was supposed that these vessels had run
tot that Island, as neither of them had reached the
Cape when the Paulina came away.
A Mail from Tonningea arrived yesterday,
with letters and papers from Hamburgh and Al-
tana to the 21st. They contain intelligence from
Berlin to the 14th, which states, that Rona.
item ass at Kitting on the oh, viewing
the esitions of his troops in that quarter.—The
Emperor of RUSSIA, the King of Bautista, and
Lord llexcursisow, were on the 4th at Bartens:ein.
The siege of Dantzic will in all probabiliry bring
on a general a4ion, but we have here eositive in-
telligence that it had not taken place up to the
9th. Tne Turkish fleet had sailed to attack the
Russian, and an account of an engagement was
expefted at Constantinople on the 11th of April.
The coraluet of the King of Sweatm, if truly stated,
strengthens the suspicion of an eeistusg negoeiati a
for a General Peace. So far from Missing to ratify
the armistice, he is said to have honoured General
VON Esse'', who concluded it, with the most dis.
tinguished marks pf approhation.
We have also received Dutch Papers to the 24th
instant. which farther shew that there was no
foundation for the report of a general battle in Po-
land, in the beginning of the month. Ihe pacific
rumours, which we noticed last week, continue to
prevail upon the Continent. An article in one of
the Dutch Papers, expressly states. o that no doubt
is entertained of the mediation of Austria having
peen accepted."

Sir SAIIIREL ROAtILLT moved this &Ora an in-
junition to prevent the Defer:d2nt, Mr. Murray,
books-tier, in Londne, from sellieg the periodical
publication, culled The LilinGlTh 'Review. He only
applied for an injunction against this single Defend-
ant, nts the others lived in Scotland, and conse-
quently out of the jurisdittion of the Court. The
feels, as stated by the Learned Counsel, were shortly
these i —Mr. Archibald Constable carried on the
bu:iness of a boukuelter, in Edinburgh, in the year
Igf.)2, upon his own account, but has since entered
into partnership with Mr. Alexander Citizen Hun-
ter. The Plaintiffs are well-known ant retpett-
able booksellers in London. On the lit of OCto-
ben 1832, Mr. Constable commenced printing Tee
Edieirsieek Reran', a work which was to be publish-
, ed quarterly ; the first !slumber was published in
Dloher, 1:102, by Mr. Constable, in Edinburgh,
' And by Me. Mawmen, a beokselleo, in London.— '
About that time Messrs. Longman and Co. receiv-
ed a letter from Mr. Constable, stating, that he had
been desired by the Editors of The Ediniatret Review
to offer them that work, provided they agreed to
pay half o: the paper, printing, Ste. arc. and to sop- '
ply all new 'publications which 'the'Editors might '
have occasiou for, in calming on said work. It
stated alsn, that the first Number had been com-
pletely published, and 1260 copies of the setoed
I Number, of the expense of which, they (Longman
1 and Co.) most needs bear a *pare. ' The Learned ,
r Counsel observed, that the Defendants meant to
allege that 'he Plaintiffs were not proprietors, but
whet he was to show %els, that they were joint pro-
prier:ors Aro g with Mr. Constable ; the Reviewers
and Editors being to be paid certain stated sums,
wattle all the emoluments of it were, by the
Agreement which had t.keu place. in cense-
qeence of the offer 'made- by Mr. C.lnrtaiil2,
to belong to Mr. Constable, ar.d also to 'Messrs.
Longman and Co. In answer to the above letter,
Messrs Longmen and Co. wrote to Mrs Constable,
expressing themselves flattered with the communie
cation he Mid made, and string that they had On-
fei red -.with Mr. l' roman up n the inbjell, but had
not y.e finally determined upon it. Mr. Constable
Again wrote in reply, strine, that the Plaintiffs were
stiff at liberty to take. te...fetre i.s the wart, if they
pleased ; referred them again to Mr. Mewm in, and
wished them to inforni him as soon as they had
made up their minds. On this the Plaintiff: applied
to .4r. Maieman, who agreed to ere inp 'All his in-
terest in the writ k, upon their paying all the expenses
he had incurred. In conseceience of this, Messrs
Ldngman and Co: informed Mr. Constable that
they had 'n3 oieetion to take a share in the work as
a stock borik, that is, to share eau illy with the pro-
prietors, whether the sale MIS' grecer in London
than in Edinburghl• Mr. Constable 'accot'dingly
agreed to thii proposal' of making it it stock book,
wished them to advertise it, and when they publish- '
ed a new won k, to send a copy of• it to him ler the
use df the proprietors and editor,. Undel such
agreemere, the work has since been published rep-
lady, and the Plaintiffs have regularly borne half
the eapenses of the work, and furnished knots to
the Reviewers, down to the preseut time. The 19th
Number ought to have appeared on the 15th of
April last. It, del notelewever. artive, and Mows.
Longman and Co. wrote to Mr. Constable, inquir-
ing why it was net sent ? and were informed that he
would not continue to send it in future. It has
since been printed by Mr. Constable, in Edinburgh,
and sent to Mr. Murray, in. Londm. By the agree-
ment they had entered into, it was understood that
Mr. Jeffreys was to receive 2001 as Editor, and the
RevieWers were to be paid so much a sheet fir what
they supplied, so that the work belonged to the •
publishers, and to no other person. This work has' .
turned out extremely profitAhle, elthorgh at the
1 time Messrs leeng.men ens ged in it, it was very .
I doubtful whetter it would °be successful or not. It
t was, therefore, a hazardous concern, and wnetever
I hits might have atisen, would have been the-lois of
Messrs. Longman, as weal as of Mr. Consteble. l'he
kteintitls had to pay Mr.Mewman the loss he suited
hay.ng incurred while it :Ras in his hands. Kinder
these circumstances, the Learned Counsel atgued,
that there was a partnership between Mr. consta-
bk ems the t'laintiffs, in regard to the work in ques-
tion. which he was not entitled 'ire do away, by trees-
(erring it to pay other person.
Leap Cii•ncaeLoll—•" Was there an agreement
to do this for any given time r'
Cocitset.--es Y:s. my Lord, it was to be done
quarterly, so that the pub:leant:A ores to kroz4ed as
petiodtcally as Any newspaper."
LORD CHANCELLOR...." DGEII the new concern
take the title of the old one?"
Covsiset.—" Yes, my Lord, it is exAillly the
same publication, and the title-page of the 19:h
Number only iliffers from former Numbers by hav-
ing tho Number 19, and the name of Murray. in-
stead of Longitoan and Co."
LOhD CHANCELLOR—" I think this case fells
within the principles of the case of Kirby .. Hogg,
where A work was veld as a continuation of au Ori-
ginal concern. If I were right i 1 granting an in-
jtimllion io that ease, I shall be equally rie,4t in do-
ing so in this one."

MOST DARING OUTRAGE.
On Monday night, softie villains, who infest St.
Giles's, attempted to :oh a waggon as it was passing
through fitoad.street, and in endeavouring to sips
Prebend them, a watchman and two respeetabo
young men were wounded, so that their liver are
despaired of. Mr. Flint, one of the Churchwardens
of St. Giles's, attended yesterday marling at Bow-
,-street (Ace, and gave information to Mr. RIAD
of the circumstance. who sent a Clerk to take the
'wounded men's testimony, in case of their death.
Tire following are the particulars :
John Watkinson, of i7o. 164, Heborn, said, that
on Monday night, about' halt past elevela o'clock. as
he was returning home, he saw a waggon standing
in Holborn, and• found the waggoner near it, iteM
his face bleeding eery much, and a great effusion
of blOod from his month. He asked eh waggoner
what was the matter with him ? He said a man had
been behind his waggon, and attempted to rob it,
in preventing which, smile person had struck him ;
while he spike, two men were standing by, aad the
waggoner said he could swear that one of silena was
the man that knocked him down. Mr. ketile, who
was standsag by, advised the waggoner to chaise
Use eratch with him ; when tboavatchman came up.
and was about to take the man the waggoner
charged with knocking him down, the man's com-
panton pushed him iound, and he made off. Mr.
Watkinson followed him, and overtook him a short
distance off. and had go: him against the nutters
of a clothet.shop in Holborn, when the man's com-
panion came up, and without saying any thing.
stabbed Mr. Watkinson near the backbone, just
above his kidneys. Edward Watkins. of No.
183, Holborn: said he was standing a few dome
from the house where he lodges, about halt-
past eleven o'clock on Di/onday night, in con-
veiration with a friend, and learning that Mr.
Watkinson was securing a man, who had attempted
to rob a waggon, he went to assist, when a man
came behind him and cut him in the lower part of
his belly, near four niches in length ; the conse-
queoce was, his bowels came out. He was taken to
the Middlesex Hospital, where every care was taken
of his wound by the surgeons. We are sorry to
say, his bowels came out twice in the course et
y esterday morning.
Michael Coleman, a watchman, belonging to St.
Giles's, was en 'duty, at the time, near the spot,
whin he heard the any of " st.Oo thief !" and ob-
seived a man running towards him ; he stopped
bim, but the man soon liberated himself from him.
by rutting him with a sharp instrument, in the
lower part of his belly. The watchman, liowever,
very cotiragemttly knoc,jced him down with his waif,
as he was naming off; the villain got up again.
stabbed him in hit lett cheek near 116 ear, in Mean%
and gave him a severe cut on his breast, and then
ran off. The watchrmiti, although having received
so many wouhds, pursued him to the corner of
Bow-street, Bloomsbury, when his bowels coming
out, lie was obliged to give up th• pursuit. and he
fell. He was conveyed to the Middatses Ho<oitel.
where he aad Mr. Watkinson lie, WitilNit 042 T
hopes of recovery.
