111RIIONY V. LISTER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a plasterer'
and builder, residing in Watling-street, to recover compensation
in damages for an assault committed by the defendant, who is a
Maneliestrir wa-thousernan, at a public-house known by the sign of
the 3lagpie arid Stump, in Fenchurch-atreet, in the month of No.
vember last.
Plaintiff's ease was opened to the Jury by Mr. Sergeant PELL.
who said, that he should prove, beyond all doubt, that an assault
bad been committed, and the only question to winch the Jury
would have their attention drawn, after the assault had been
proved, would be the amount of damages. The plaintiff was sit-
ting in a room full of company on Saturday evening, the 6th of Ne.
vember last, at the Magpie public-house, in Fenchurch-street,
when the defendant, who was a constant guest there, made use of
provoking language towels the plaintiff, without the slightest
cause being given for insulting expressions on his part ; and ulti-
mately the defendant threw a glass of liquor in the plaintiff's face,
in the presence of all the company. This extraordinary course of
proceeding naturally induced the plaintiff to resent so grievous an
insult offered before so respectable a company, and a quarrel en-
sued, in which the plaintiff's hand was cut by the broken tumbler.
This was the nature of the injury complained of, and the Learned
Sergeant was persuaded that the Jury would pronounce a verdict in
the plaintiff's favour, givirg him at the same time the damages to
which they conceived him to be entitled.
Evidence was called to show tip nature of the assault, which ap-
peared to have been merely a pudic-house row.
Mr. Sergeant Vauoisaor was willing to admit that his client had
miscondueted himself at the Magpie and Stump public-house, but
he cautioned the Jury against giving more than nominal damages,
for if they did the Court would be teased with public-house din.
utes innumerable. The Learned Sergeant commented on the evi.
device in his usual style of humour, in trumpery cases of the pre.
sent description ; and he trusted that the Jury would not encourage
by their verdict parties to come into a Court of Justice to recover
cerip.rusation in damages for paltry assaults.
Chief Justice BEST—I have only to tell you, Gentlemen of
the Jury, that an assault has been committed by the defendant.
The question of damages I shall leave in your hands without any
direction. It is merely a pubhc.house squabble.
The Jury immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages, One Shilling.

NEW Nava t. Untrosit.—An alteration has taken place
in the naval uniform, recently ordered to be worn, which it
may be of importance to make known. In the undress of
petty officers the same coat has been assigned to mates and
midshipmen, as that of a lieutenant, but without the epau-
lette; this we understand to be a mistake in the wording,
as it was not intended that this description of officers should
wear other than a single breasted coat, snd the difference
between the full dress and undress coat consists in the
former teing lined with white cloth, and the latter not.—

DESTRUCTION OP sroapr POWDER MILLS.
From the Edii—lr—irgh Observer.]
A few minutes before eight o'clock on Friday morning, the dry-
ing-house of Stobbs' powder-mills, about four miles south-west of
Dalkeith, blew up with a terrible explosion ; and almost instantly
thereafter the " relief-house," or store-room, also exploded in a
manner still more terrific. Cornwall, a workman, who has been
about thirty years at the works, was in the drying-house removing
a qiiantity of gunpowder. At the door stood a small waggon,
attended by a man named Thomson, who was conveying the
powder in casks, linen the drying-house to the other building,
called the " relief," about thirty feet distant. How the accident
o:ignited, cannot exactly be ascertained. The first explosion
certainly took place in the drying-house, of which scarcely a stone
remains in its miginal position, being scattered in all directions.
At three o'clock yesterday, part of the mangled remains of Corn-
eal' lied been found. The head and part of the body of Thom-
, sui were also found at sonic distance. It is very difficult to say to
which of ,the bodies the fragments that have been discovered be.
lrr.g. Our reporter saw part of the intestines of a man drawn from
a burn that runs near by ; also part of a body picked up in a field
nearly a mile distant. The horse which stood in the waggon was
killed. It was hurled to a distance of forty feet, and the shoes of
the tore arid hinder read' that side which was first the door of the
house, were torn off. A large puncture was visible in the animal's
side, as thnuph totnethinie had pierced through the body. It is
scarcely possible to describe the effects of this awful explonon on
the buildings and sees adjacent. The houses for carrying on the
various branebes of the work stood detached, and at a considerable
distance from each other ; bat, with one exception, all are more or
less injured, either in walls or roofs. Some of the latter are com-
pletely driven in by tits tremendous concussion, but no part of the
machinery seems to be injured. The houses in which the explo-
sions took place are entirely destroyed. Many of the stones tie-
longing to them ere driven into the earth to a considerable depth.
Most of the Om in the windows of Stobbs' village, and at Oore.
bridge. are shattered--many of the casements fenced in--and the
tile roofs partia,ty, and in scene cases completely, destroyed. The
trees in the neighbourhood, many of which are of considerable
size, are shivered as if by lightning. To persons on the spot the
"retie was truly terrific. Several leaped into the water for eakty,
others were beaten to the ground by the concussion, and fur a time
so one had courage to inquire the extent of the devastation. Peo-
pie who were on the high road were completely astounded, and felt
a sudden presaire, of which they could not discover the cause, till
a huge column of black smoke, mixed with large stones, etc. rose
from the valley, like the irruption of a volcano, and completely
darker.ud tip air. The aback was felt at Edinburgh, at Lauder,
and at Hadditigton. At Dalkeith one of the bells tolled, from the

The immensity of the navigation of the United States
of America may be judged of from the fact, that the
American tonnage alone employed in the foreign trade
of the United States, for the year ending 1823, was
1,490,32'2 tons. The foreign tonnage was 118,681 tons
—both 1,609,023 tons. . _

The great demand for the woollen manufactures of Eng-
land, both foe.• foreign and home consumption, which has
been gradually increasing for the last two years, has caused
a rise of 23 to 30 per cent. on the various woollen goods,
the produce of Yorkshire and other manufacturing districts.
Wool, which is a very abundant source of profit to our
graziers, has experienced a rise of .S 0 per cent. For parcels
which brought 16s. Gd. per stone in June last, we hear ges.
have been given by English purchasers within the last few
days. There has been also an advance of forty per cent
on beaver (hatters') wool. As a t.onsequence of the ad-
vance,
blankets, and indeed all goods made from the
coarser kinds of our native fleeces, have already risen fully
ten per cent., while cloths, the produce of combed woof,
experienced an advance of nearly double the amount.—

A PoarAst.r: Ica-Housr.—Take an iron-bound butt
or puncheon and knock out the head, cutting a very small
hole in the bottom, about the size of a wine-cork. Place
inside of it a wooden tub, shaped like a churn, resting it
upon two pieces of wood, which are to raise it from touch-
' ing the bottom. Fill the space round the inner tub with
r pounded charcoal ; and fit to the tub a cover, with a con-
venient handle, having inside one or two small books, on
which are to be hung the bottles, during the operation.
Place on the lid a bag of charcoal, about two feet square;
if the charcoal in this bag is pounded, it will answer
better; and over all, place another cover, which must
cover the head of the outer cask. When the apparatus is
thus prepared, let it be placed in a cold cellar, and buried
in the earth above four-fifths of ita height ; but, though,
cold, the cellar must be dry ; wet ground will not answer,
and a sandy soil is the best. Fill the inner tub, or nearly
to, with pounded ice ; or, if prepared in winter, with snow
well pressed down, and the apparatus will be complete.—
Whenever it is wished to make ices, take oft' the upper
cover, then the sack or bag of pounded charcoal, and sus-
pend thg vessel containing the liquid to be frozen to the
hooks inside of the inner cover : then close up the whole,
at, before, for half an hour, when the operation will be
comp!ete, provided proper tare be taken to exclude exter-
nal air.
