This was an assault of a violent nature, com-
mitted by the Defendant, a carpenter, in Little
Brook-street, New-road, on Mrs. Youle, a laun-
dress, his next-door neighbour, the wife of a tailor,
on the 9.1 d t.l• January last.
tar. Serjeant CtaystEs stated that the Plaintiff's
crash-house was built against the wall of the De-
fendant's yard ; that Ise had been areastonsed to
put ►.cards against the wall, the end of which pro-
jeered over the wall, and damaged the linen the

and threw some of the boards off, which enraged
the Defendant to so greet a degree, lie struck the
Plaimiff with one of the boards, which cut her rye
very much, and confined her fur a fortnight.
The statement was fully proved by the two
daughters of the pluiutilt; mid a Mrs. Wood.

REVERSION ABOLITION BILL.

......_....... .....-.
Upon the motion fur the third reading of this
BO
The Earl of LAEDEUDALE said, that be could
not let it pass without expres,ing his sentiments
upon its nature and history. It had been repre-
sented by the Noble Lord (Hunkeshury) to have
oritinated inn Committee of Finaime—but he was
inclined to believe that it had originnted with the
Ministers themselves. The Noble -Lord here went
into a history of this Bill, and after sisewiug how it
%wird from the former Mil, which had been op-
prised by a majority of that House, he thought it
no more than a compromise. in order to appease
those elansotirs which had been raised out or duos,
sifter the failure of the former Bill. The Coin-

mittee, whose inquiries were alluded to in the i.re-
amlile of the Bill, did not inspire into the expen-
diture of the public money in the different depart-
ments, and in one department alone, the naval de.

pertinent, it had been ascertained by the former
Commissioners of Inquiry, that several millions
might be saved annually. From this lie inferred,
that not much good was to be etpected from their
proposed inquiries, concerning sinecure offices and
reversionary pensions. Ile concluded by giving
his assent to the Bill, on this ground, that it would
prevent the granting of offices in reversion for a li-
mited time, when he should again have the oppor-
tunity of stating his opinion in favour of the priti-
ciplei of the former Bill, in case that measure
should again be brought before that /louse.
Lout IlAnnowse and the LORD CNA:I,O'I.I,On
vindicated the conduct of Administration in regard
to the former and present Bill. It could not he
called a compromise ; hut it was not lessened its its
merit, if such a term should he appropriated to the
Ineurittc, for the Constitution was, in all its parts,
carried on by compromise. The former Bill tended

to abolish satin*, tlie reverilon of sinecure offices;
bYt eveu with respect to the principle of ecouoitiy.
it tuivlit be better to confer rewards oa molt in duct
way than any other.

Lord HOLLAND was extremely surprised that"
there should be 30 few Ruble Lords luending
their duty on the other side of the liouse. Ou
former occasion, when the first Bill Lad been dis-
cussed. it was contended that the uiessure then
proposed would, if adopted, completely trench
upon the Royal Prerogative, and suOvert the Con-
stitution; and now, when a similtir Bill, having
only a shade of distinction from the foimer. was
about to pass into u law, it a•.a certainly extiuovili-
nary to see those benches almost desevecd. This
Bill was certainly of impoitance, so far us it pre-
vented the grant of rever►iuns for one year sod six
weeks, and oat that account it should hare his
support.
Lord HAWKESUURY spoke in favour of the Bill,
and justified the conduct of himself and his cal-
1w Bill was than read a third time awl passed.
N isconot SIDUOUTH'S Motion respecting the
Danish prizes was postponed, on uccomit of that
Ntilile Lord's indisposition, until Tuesday next, for

GRAND NARQUZRADIL.

Those elegant rooms were opened, on Monday
night, with one or the most s etwlid and flume-
rously-atteinied masquerades that have Iwen wit-
nessed for many years. The arrangements for the
evening did the highest credit to the managers.
Fancy, taste, aid elegance, were combined iii the
decorations, and the whale had the lured pleasing
effect. Opposite the entrance-parlour was formed
a beautiful bower : in the grand hall was placed
Pitovusr's original Vauxhall Pandemen hand, iu
their full uniform : at the foot of the stair-
case was erected a triumphal arch ; Ensdtaircase
was lighted by variegated lamps, representing the
Puttee's Plume, Motto, and the Star. The colon-
nade leading to the grand ball-room was a blitz,. of
light equal to mid-day. The ball-room had a very
grand effect ; the lofty poplar was planted round
the room, and the branciseswere covered with smell
Chinese lamps. Six large Chine-_e lamps were sus-
pended along the ceiling; the stage was lighted iu
the same initialer; on at eat placed Gow's full
band ; gat lands of flowers, iu true lover's knots,
were taatofulty Axed,--nad the tieen•voeve chalked
in devices. The side moms were filled with tables,
decorated in a very tasteful manner. The lower
apartments were also appropriated for supper, and
the tables aboatsJed with every delicacy of the sea-
son. The wines were e-:cellent, and in great
plenty. At eleven o'clock the couipiuly began to
assemble, and displayed the most diversified and
select m:esqued gronpe ever assembled together ;
there were upwards of seven hundred persons pre-
sent ; and the greatest order ;And regularity prevail-
ed in their gaining admittance, the greatest pre-
eautiou Levine heen taken to prevent confusion
and false tic Lets. At half peat two the company
repaired to the supper-moms ; they did not de-
past until seven o'clock the ensuing morning.
The most beautiful and expensive dresses were
displayed, and every advantage that beauty Could
receive from art was called into action, to make
our fair countrywomen exceed all the deseriptious

GIBRALTAR, Mi.* 10.

Accounts received from Spain, this day, confirm
the intelligence before received, that en insurrec-
tion had taken place at Madrid, on the ed of this
month, which, after much bloodshed, was with
difficulty quelled by the joint efforts of the Regent,
Don Antonio, and the Grand Duke of Berg.
The particulars we have not been able to learn
correctly, from the confused, and, in some re-
spects, contradictory accounts, that have reached
us. We have only been able to ascertain that the
Ilbrinent arose from an apprehension entertained by
the people, that their new King would not be re-
stored to them, but be detained by the French
Emperor. Assurances, calculated to quiet these
fears, were given to the people, both by the Re-
gent and the French Commander—but the precise
terms they made use of we cannot ascertain from
the accounts that have reached us. Some of these
statc;!.that ernin;iiex were riven that Ferdinand
should speedily return---others that the assurances
embraced generally the safety of the whole Royal
F►mily. •
All the letters agree hi stating, that the indigna-
tion of the Spaniards at the invasion of their coun-
try, by the ,French, is general throughout the
kingdom and that it will be difficult to repre,s
the popular indignation from bursting out in acts
which, in the present circumstances, can only
bring destruction upon the pc Nile. In every quar-
ter regrets are expressed at tile ports of Spain not
having been opened to the British, on the first
breaking out of the Ri v dutioo. Some accounts
state, that the Rewra has stated to the Grand
Duke of Berg, tho•. on the first symptom of bad
faith on the part of the French, the sea-ports and
arsenals will he immediately put into the possession
of the British; but this is not credited.

RIETIEW IN THR PagINIX PARK.
Yesterday, at the express desire of her Grace
the Duchess of Ricoleollo, that fine body of men,
the Stet Regiment, lit Argylealsire Highlanders,
wore'reviewed in the Phoenix Pork. tier Grace
came to the ground at half-past eleven o'clock, an
her state carriage,. with her usual attendants; the
Duke of Itieniebtra was ou horseback.
Ou her apPilariPg in front of the Regi-
ment, she was received with a royal salute ; after
which, her Grace passed down the hue, and it wa.,
no doubt, most flattering to her countryniete, to bee
her Grace in the Highland b t and Tartan
plaid; never did her Grace look wore truly ele-
gant than she did in the national dress of her
country.
The various evolutions were performed with that
exactness, which reflects the highest credit on their
Consmauding Officer, Colonel I;_,RAWFURD, and his
01ficers—their movements were universally ap-
plauded, and called forth the highest encoini ttttt s
from that veteran General, FLOYD. The ground
was crowded and most fashionably attended. Many
Officers of rank were present, and seemed to agree,
that this excellent regiment might be equalled, but
not excelled, and having been formerly under Ge-
neral JOHN Hope, there can•be- but nue opinion as
to the system they have been taught. After the
review, the Commanding Officer awl Isis Officers
were sumptuously entertained at the Lodge, with
every kind of refreshment—during the repast, her
" Grace, in the most condescending manner; entered
familiarly into conversation with several of the
Officers, and, previous to their leaving the Ledge,
her Grace expressed a wish that the Officers should
be individually presented by Colonel CaAwruan,
when they took their leave of her Grace, previous
to timir embarkation for foreign service.

Upon the first clause being read—
Earl STAN WWI; said, that although he moth
commended the conduct of his Noble friends who
hail left that !louse because they would not be
present when such a pernicious llill passed
through the Committee, yet he hud staid himself;
for, after the unjustifiable iaanner iii which this Bill
had passed before their Lordships, he had an in-
clination to see what their Lordships would do in
the Committee. lie then submitted several altera-
tions, and iu the ...nurse of the proceeding referred
to the statute in the reign of Clmrles I. and limited
what attention was paid to the liberty of the sub-
ject, and the guarding him from imprisonment.
When this statute was passed, it received the Royal
Assent differently from any other Act of Parlia-
ment. The King said—" Let right he done the
people, as is by Parliament demanded." He then
proposed a particular alteration, and said, My
Lords, I implore your attention to this, as you
value she blessing of God, and the existence of
your country."
The Bill passed through the Committee without
any amendment, and was reported.

B1111:HMN, Dktuatsca 2.

Of the collier brigs beat up on their %earn-ends
by the gale and high tide in the night of Taesdey,
vie. the Mary, John and Jane, Delight, Atlas, and
Hercules, only two will be pierserved, the Atlas and
Hercules, which were got afloat yesterday, and
safely conveyed to the harbour of Newhaven,
there to be repaired. The Mary and Jahn and
Jane were complete wrecks yesterday, the far-
mer having bilged her larboard-side, at this time,
from the gunwale to the keel, the greater part
of her deck, her masts, &c. &c. heiut gone.—.
The latter is nearly reduced to fragments.—
Sanguine hopes were entertained yesterday of sav-
ing the Dehght, but the great swell and high
tide of this morning have entirely annihilated those
expectations. The vessel is now literally going to
pieces; in truth, she•is so much damag. d, that it is
not in the power of art to render her fit for sea
again. It is understood that the shattered hulks
will be sold by auction for fire-wood, &c. at the
water's edge this evening. We pireviously noticed,
that the Mary, excepting about 20 chukka', lost
the a hole of her cargo. Many perilous were yes-
terday dispersed about the strand, picking up such
parts of the said cargo as the tide brought in.
A party of those, iw examining the cavities about
the rocks, between the Crescent and the Steyne,
discovered the body of the unfortunate lad, Mer-
chant, who was drowned by the sinking of the plea-
stare-vessel, the Lord Thurlinv, now about three
weeks age, and which we at that time noticed.--
The body was jammed in between two rocks, and
Was in ■ very mutilated state; the hands being
nearly gone, the traces of the features of the time
only left, and some parts of the breast and back he-
ing bared to the hone. The greater part of the
wearing apparel had also • been washed offs but
enough of that, however, remained to identify the
abject. The remains were put into a shell, and
will be interred in the church-yard with the usual
obsequies, either this day or to-morrow.

The following singular coincidence of remark-
able circumstances actually took place at Munches,
in the Stewsrtry of Kirkcudbright, the hospitable
residence of Mr. and Mrs. MAXWELL, of Ter-
rauglity, on the II th November :—a goose sit-
ting upon nine eggs—a blackbird's nest contain-
ing three eggs--a magpie building her habitation—
and a cherry-tree in full blossom !—(The above
fact was communicated to the Editor of The Car-
lisle Journal, by an eye-witness, a gentleman of
respectability, of whose veracity we cannot enter-
tain the slightest doubt.)

THE NEW THE4TRE.

ft. is not yet, we understand, finally 'decided
k to .be the Arehites.t of the new Theatre
wash is to be erected in t:Ovesit-Garden, but
it is coafidently twill that, Mr. tiMill‘C, inn. is
likely to be the successful c validate. Aecnid-
imf to the reports of all who know this
Geutic-
i„an, he iv folly qualified for such an arduous nu-
d.rtaking, by oriainal genius as well as by a pro-
f., of study of the principles of architecture and
the works of the great masters. ftlr. Snit NA
is thews of that excellent artist whose productions
have deservedly isluad his character into very high
rofesbumal repute. The various • atrictures that
have lweit circulated respecting the form of the
&r.c. arc cobra!y unfonntleil; neither is it
in contemplation to reverse the bite situation of the
stage trout the North to the fioetii ; is winch ease,
the 141iie;104i avenue to the iiiterinr Must have been
is the narrow paesage of floosstreet. • It is believed
that the wardrobe and scenic departments will be
totally detached from the stage sal audience part
of the Theatre, that should a similar accident oc-
cur, a chance may he afforded of saving the pro-
rty. Of the peopo-tal ilitneusions, some idea may
Gformed from the iatenited height of the flat,„ on
each side of the stage, fur the reception of the
scenes, which are to be 21 feet bib ; in the old
Theatre they were Id beet; the altitude of those in
Drury-lane is e 6 feet.--Every possible exertion will
be made to complete the new edifice, consistent
with a due rrord to security, by the time at whirls
the Aca,46.1 usually commencev, next year, and par-
ticular care will be taken to guard against the dan-
ger of the calamity which destroyed the old oar.—
)t is said that a considerable sum is intended to be
raised, by way of Tontine. upon such liberal terms,
as will render the shares highly desirable, and con-
sequently the subscription wig! be soon filled, in
osier to defray the expenses of the net building
as they arise. The friend* of the Patentees have
already come forward with the most zealous offers
of assistance mid t-upport.

-his antago-

Mr. Morris upon a hone. and sent him to Crensill-
passage, from whence he was conveyed to the Royal
Hospital, where he now ties. It appears that they

half by Louts the XV Ulth, the Compte D'Ao-
oouusata, the Duc DE GRAMMONT, tad the

Louts the XVillth was received at the North
entrance of Stowe House by the Marquis of BUCK-
INGHAM, Lord TEMPLE, and Lord GEORGE OREN-
PILLE, the latter quite recovered from his late
illness, at the foot of the steps leading thereto,
in their full yeomanry uniform. The Marquis con-
ducted the Itioa to the North Hall, where he pre-
sented him to the Marchioness, and his daughter,
Lady MARS Gaffey' LLE, and then severally to the
Ladies who were there assembled. The whole com-
pany then proceeded to the magnificent saloon,
where they were received by music, a grand band
of which played God tare the Kirg. After visit-
ing the state rooms to the west of the saloon, His
MAJESTY retired to dress. At a little after eve,
the company re-assembled to dinner, when *bout
fiftsat down.
When the Margins drank after dinner " The ll-
hutrioNs likase of Bourbon," the music gave the
well-known air of "Oh / Richard, OA! Mos fioi,"
acc. the feelings which this occasioned may be con-
ceived, but cannot be espreised. " The Kiev,
and posperity to Great Britain," was _then toasted
by Hi. lan; sad The Ladies at Mitten,"

were aftentards dren':.
In the evening, music and dancing were the pre-
lode to supper. During the whole of the day, His
MAJESTY appeared in the best spirits, and highly
trusible to the attentions of hi. Noble Hosts.

In a former Paper we shortly noticed the Dell
given by the Nelson Club, at the Esobange
li.ooms, in compliment to the 114arquie and Mar-
chioness of 1./omega% on their return to Belfast.
We may justly
.observe, that it was one of the most
splendid ever orituessed in that town ; and although
upwards of 200 tickets were issued, the Company
was most select, and comprised every person ot die-
unction in the neighlpourbood.
The Rooms began to till about nine o'clock, end
at half-past ten were crowded, when the dancing
commenced.—The Ball was opened with the Fairy
Dance, by the Marchioness of Donegan arid Mr.
Verner, one of the Stewards, followed by about 30
couple, and. continued till one o'clock, when the
company retired to Supper; after which the dancing
was revived by Miss Montgomery, of Greyabby,
and Mr. Edward Mar, the other Steward, who led
of the favourite air of Tekeii, the fascinations of
which dance were so nuiverselly felt, that the set-
still shone forth with undiminished splendour, sad
was kept up with the greatest spirit until five
o'clock, when the company begun to disperse,
highly delighted with their eveaittg's entertainment,
and gratified with the attention shewu them by the
Gentleinen of this most respectable Club. The
Exchange Rooms, on this occasion, exhibited a most,
brilliant spectark.—The Ball Room was lighted up
in time roost superb manner. Besides other decora-
tions, the bust of Lnrd Nelson, surrounded by lau-
rels, and ornamented with variegated lasu poo, readied
to the minds of the company the glorious aehievts•
menet of that TV*, etnumemoratien of whom
the Club was formed. The two Supper Rooms, in
each of which one of the Stewards presided, equally
exhibited proofs of their tote.
The tables were ornamented with the oast mag-
nificent and appropriate truuspareneies, and boasted
every delicuey of the present season—lamb, chick-
ens, ducklings, green peas, pine apples, &c. with
aim ntl al ice. of C hampague. Madeira, and other w Ines.
Among the company were the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Donegal'. Lady Harriet :MCI Miss

SUSSEX ELECTION.

On the Order•oliKe laitTfOire;uming the ed-
jourued debate on the 111otion for exchanging lists
relative to this Election.
Sir ARTHUR Ptouore contended that it we. com-
petent to the Petititifier to demand the exchange
of lists for the furtherance of justice.
Mr. ABERCROMBIE thought the Committee ap-
pointed to try the merits of this question, would
be deprived of important evidence, by not admit-
ting this exchange of lists.
The Arrosser*GEXlllAL contended, as the
lists were not exchanged during the time ap-
pointed, it was not now competent to them to do so.
Mr. Wts.t.uus Wy ass thought it the bounden
Alley d thriftless to interihre) awl enter the huts

was best calculated in his mind to attain that.
When the Report.af the Commissioners appeared,
stating the abuses iu this prison, it excited, ai it
naturally mutt, universal tudignation. and yet no
reprebensioii even of Aris was made.—tio far from

it, that t6X:rewo; • poor man, he understood, no*

the damages against him were so great. that perpe-

would not fartheti take up the time of the House,
but would conclude by moving, " That the Peti-
tion be referred to a Select Committee to examine
into the abuses complained of, and to report
thereon."
The OU/10:L1.0R of the Earneenea objected
to a Committee, and said, that as Government had
taken every pains, and 'hewed every disposition to
inquire into those abuses, it appeared to liun there
was no necessity for this procedure.
Mr. WiliTflaltA CO contended, Parliamentary in-
terference was the only means of obtaining justice,
and removing the ;bases complained of, and there-
fore hoped ties Hon. Gentlemen on the other side
would not object to the appointment of a Com-
' mittee. The Commissioners had certainly not an-
swered the expectations we hod of them. The
abuses still exist as grossly as before their appoint-
ment. It appeared, .that Aria. pleaded guilty to
the charg,es against him, and he could sot help
