CROWN SIDE.

George Fowler was indicted for stealing a boy
gelding, the property of George Palmer, Esq. on
the nth of May last. The Prosecutor, Mr. Pal-
mer, stated, that the Prisoner came to live in his
service as his ca►chnsao, but having reason to be
displeased with him, he had determined to part
from him, and gave him warning. On the morn-
ing of the nth of May, the Prisoner was found to
have left the house before the ether servants had
risen, and one of the coach horses and the best sad-
dle was also missing. The Prosecutor and his
groom traced the Prisoner as far as Stssisted and
Roystoo, and there they lost all traces of him. A
few days afterwards he received intelligence that
his horse was at Waltbarnstow, and he found it at a
small public-house there.
The landlord and the ostler of the Nag's Head,
deposed, that the Prisoner came to that house, on
the morning of the robbery, with the horse in ques-
tion, that he was very Got, and the horse appeared
to have been hard ridden ; he said he came wide of
Walthainetisw, and wished to leave the horse there.
Verdict—Guilty.

SUBDUCTION.
PHILLIP% v. GOLDRING.

This cause, which excited considenthle interest,
came on on Thursday last. The Plaintiff is a far-
mer's widow at Dockentield,
the Defendant a tinther-dealer to a considerable
extent at Row,,Tate, ire Sussex. Front the statement
of Mr. Suasoutti, the Plaintitl's Counsel and the

evidence, it appeared that this was an action brought
by the Plaintiff to recover damages for the seduc-
tion of her daughter, Elizabeth Phillips, by the
Defeudant Gobbing, in consequence of *bids film
became pregnant, and' the Defendant refused to
marry, her, though he had accomplished his disho-
nourable purpose under repeated promises of -mar-
riage.
Elizabeth Phillips, the daughter, whose sedttes
tion was the subject of this action, was the principal
witness produced. Site was an interesting end
beautiful girl, and gave her testimony iu so modest,
simple, and impressive a tone and instiller, as to
greatly affect • very crowded audience, and excite,'
the tenderest feelings of twiny of them. Although
the well-known wit and ingenuity of Mr. JEKYLL.
the Defendant's Counsel, were exerted to the at-
most to take off from the effect of her testimony, it
could not prevail against her plain and candid
narrative, votwitlistauding the embarrassment of
her situation.

The Jury, to the apparent satisfaction of the
whole Court, gave a verdict fur the Plaintiff—
DICUSIVS iO4/1.

• SEAT OF THE WAR IN SPAIN.

From Agreda the road runs easterly, for five
leagues (that is, five hours jouniey, at the step of
the mule) to Tarasona, a town romantically situ-
ated on the summit and slopes of a little hill, over
the river Queues, which, running northerly, falls
into the Ebrn. The country consists generally of
a ruccessiou of small eminences, covcrei with heath
and other Shrubs, but affording pasture to num-
hers of sheep. The environs of 's arazona, how-
ever, are fertile and well cultivated. This is an
ancient town, having been known to the Romans
by the same of Turiasi, and by them was endowed
with the privilege of coining money, as early as in
the times(' Augustus. The town is now much de-
cayed, but fragments of columns. perleatals, &c.
attest its former splendour. Indeed few Roman
remains can well be expected at Tarazoise, as it was
besieged and entirely overthrown by theMners about
the year 73.1. The cathedral, a venerable Gothic
structure, and the Bishop's Palace, are the only
building! worthy o notice.
From Tarm,one4hd road contioues in the same
easterly direction for the other five leagues to
Mallen, iutueteil•Uhout a couple of miles south
froin the Ebro. The first half of the read lies
over an uweven uncultivated tract,like that on the
west side of Taraxotir, and then enters the vast
plan of the Ebro, naturally more productive, but
"'cry thinly inhabited. Mallen is a small place,
with an ancient castle belonging to the Order of
Malta, of which it ia a Cominandery. The castle
forms a quadrangle, with a court in the middle,
and square towers at each corner. It is now used
for the Courts of Justice, mid this prison of the
surrounding district.

that.river near Tudela, and is continued down the
rale below Saragossa, but net nearly couplets to
rejoin the Ebro, before it falls into the blediter-
rartenn, as was originally intended, by a course of,
ahont 100 miles. Titis canal was begun under the
Emperor Charles V. in 1528, but the work nude

use of the water having been for irrigation of the
vast fertile plain between the canal and Ebro. For
tchieneturpo.oe of drawing off the water from the
*twee are coeittructed, at the distance of
about a mile asunder, and the water is conveyed to
the grounds iu stud channels. For the use of this
water toe inhabitants were to pay to the Kite; a
rent equal to the tenth part of that paid to the
proprietors of Cie soil; but from the contrasted
appeal-a tees of the lands below, mud of those above
the canal, the coatribution to Gotl:rotor:it seemed
to bear but a very b sa al I I propottion to the vast
benefits received from the water.
Before entering Maggio the canal crosses the
road, runiii.ig eoutha art' for • mile up the %Vest
batik of the narrow valley of the river Xalon.—
'Ms valley the canal truverses from West to Eirit,
on an elevated aqueduct, the middle of which is a
bridge of three arches for the i,assage of the 'Colon,
flowing briskly under the carnal, from South to
North. After this passage of the valley and rive',
the canal is cartieil along the edge of the high
grounds, burderi.ag the vale of the Eb:o, and is no
wore seen by the traveller to Saragosaa, althotiAh
its beneficial effects ou the plain are easily dis-
cernible.

Frain Alagon to Saragossa is a course of four
leagues over the mine flat vale of the Ebro, now
better peopled and more carefully cultivated than'
the tracts gone over.
The prikinettons are corn, with a large propor-
tion of wine and oil ; and the appearanee of the
inhabitants and their dwellings gradually improves,
on approaching Saragossa, which presents a mag-
nificent prospect of towers and steeples, seared in
the midst of the plait's.
Saragossa, or, as it is written in Spanish, Zara-
gozza, the capital of• the ain.:iloin of Arragon, and
an Archbishop's See, is situated on the South or
right bank of the river Ebro, in a concave part of a
bend of the river, winch there forms the seglnent of
a large circle to the Northward, so that the build- .
ings along the river are but partially seen (ram any
one point. The Ebro is large, but navigable in ge-
neral only for small bouts, oil account of the maiiy
sandbanks in its bed, which frequently change
their position. Over the river is a stone bridge of
six arches, and abont sic hundred feet in length,
communicating with a suburb on the North side ;
and a•little lower down is a wooden bridge for foot ,
passeatfers. The town is about a mile king, by
three quartors of a mile in its greatest breadth. and
the population is calculated at 45,000.
The old town is easily distinguished from the
new, being an oblong of half a mile along the
river, by owe-third el a mile in breadth. It is sur-
roneded by ancient walls, with gates in the middle
of its four sides, in all of which, vestiges of Roman
architecture may be traced. The stone bridge over
the Ebro leads into the middlesif this old town;
and, in this circumstance, it bears some resemblance
to the city of London, with its bridge in the midst
of the present capital. That part of the old wall,
which ran along the river, is either hidden by nits.
dent houses, or entirely removed ; on the outside
of the other parts of the old walls runs a broad
' open street, in the manlier of the Boulevards of
Pans, beyond which the new town spreads in all di-
' rections, but chiefly to the westward, the ground
being confined on the south and east by the little
river Huerva, which falls into the Ebro, at the east
end of the town.
