The Lord Bishop of Gloucester and family left

weeks. The place. notwithstanding the season of
the year, is full of genteel company. and several
of the houses on the Esplanade are engaged by
Comities fbr all the winter.
It is a circumstance peculiarly gratifying to the
inhabitants, to witness the excellent health which
Mr. Parish has enjoyed from the saline breezes
during the whole of his visij this summer. Oa
Friday last he gave leis farewell dinner at his resi-

A private lettec from General MALCOLM'S camp
states, that Bongs Row did not resign his high
station without a great deal of struggling, and that
to the last ; his Arabs. 2,000 in number, were very
unwilling to part with him, so much so, that when
be took his lino, departure fur Bewares, they wished
to detain him, under pretence of 70,000 rupees
doe to them as arrears of pay ; oar troops were in
consequence drown out, and they permitted him to,
proceed. As the negociotion went on, it is said he
regained his good hassour, and eventually went off
pretty well pleased.
The accommoAstion afforded by the Allied
Powers to Messrs. BARING and the ether contractors
for the loan. appears from private letters front
Paris to he of a very liberal nature ; the term is
slot only enlarged to eighteen months. but as the
instalments severally become due, permission is
granted to pay half in money. and half in hills on
(Merritt cities on the Continent. a plan which is
supposed to afford greet advantages to the con-
tractors, without creating any materiel inconve-
nience to the party who is to receive the instalment.

'COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wenslorral,
SATURDAY, Newtlista 21.
HABEAS CORPUS ANDBAIL.
The kriussar-n_seissAL appeared in hie place
at the sitting of the Court. On being called on
to more, he said he had no motion to make, bat
appeared in consequence of a Gentleman being
brought up on a writ of Habeas Corpws to he
bailed on a charge of maullaughter, committed on
the high seas. He understood there were long
affidavits, lust as he had a preliminary objection so
make. he considered it right to apprise the Court
of it. and to save them the trouble of hearing the
depositions, till that preliminary objection was dis-
posed of. Four names had been handed to him
as the proposed bail. all of them he believed highly
respectable, but all resident in Ireland, and he
doubted much whether in this case, each bail was
eligible.
The COURT also-expressed its doubts oil the sob-
ject. In the case of an offence bring committed
in either England or Ireland. and the parts fleeing
to the other country. bail might be taken in either
place, a provision to this effect being made by
Act of Parliament ; but inn the prese,it case it was
different. the offence was committed on the high
seas. The Defendant must be remanded, not
finally, but to afford au opportunity for the Court
to consider the point.
The Arrossav-GssasAL said, he had no wish

to nppose the boil offered, if the Cou►t should
consider bail resident in Ireland as sufficient to
secure the Defendant's attendance to take his trial.

Mr. Justice litairLuir said. the Defendant being
now brought up on Habeas Corpus, could nut he
brought up again without a new writ ; It it should
ultimately he determined that the 1•:rrl was el:gible.
an arrangement might be made (or raking it at the
Sessions in the couutry, and the exverise or a new
writ be thus rendered unneee4,ary.

of the Court should be stiewl.ll rv.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Mr. CLARK applied for a c imitial information
against Mr. Adley, a dealer in skims at Birming-
ham, for sending a gross and scandalous libel to
--- Spooner. El. a Magistrate fur the county
of Warwick. The Court would recollect that he,
on Saturday last, applied for a crini nal informa-
tion against the same person for a libel on another
Magistrate, Mr. Bedford. He then stated that
Mr. Aldey had been summoned on an information
preferred against him by the inspector of hides
and skins. Mr. Spooner and Mr. Bedford were the
Magistrates who attended when the informations
were heard, and Mr. Aldey was convicted in penalties
which, when mitigated to the utmost by the Magis-
trates, amounted to 371. 104. Some time after, Mr.
Spooner, at whose instance he made the present ap-
plication, was surprised at receiving a letter from
Mr. Aldey, in which he was charged with having con-
victed him, without investigation, on information,
in the sum of 371. 10s. and in a manner that was
shameful ; and further imputed to him that he was
induced to do so from the corrupt motive of par-
taking of a share of the penalty, and thus obtain-
ing, in conjunction with Mr. Bedford, 18!. 135.-7
The Letter contained other charges of corrupt prat'.
tices against Mr. Spooner, and concluded by de-
siring an answer—and threatening, unless one was
sent, to publish the whole transaction iu the public
Pipers.
Mr. Justice BATLEY asked if it would not have
been possible to include both cases in one rule?
Mr. CLARK said, Mr. Spooner could not come
in time.

The COURT granted the rule, but desired it
might be so drawn up, that cause might be *hewn
against both rules at the some time.

The Commission of Bankrupt sued out spinet
Messrs. Matento, Canes, and KIILLY, the
Bankers at Portsmouth, was on Saturday opened at
Guildhall., and the form of proving debts was en-
tered upou. Several creditors produced notes is-
sued by the firm, and had them stamped to ve-
rify their proof under the Commission. Nothing
further was done iu the course of the day.—
There did not appear to be more than fifteen or
twenty creditors present, and the business of the day
was merely confined to the opening of the Commis-
slots and the proof of their respective debts. We
understood thee the principal creditors mean to ap-
pear on the second day of the Commission. The
debts consist of the notes of the firm, of various
amounts.

It is understood that seven extents have been is
against the firm of the Portsmouth Batik of
GoDWIN and Co. by the Crown. The debt due
to the estate or the late JOHN GoDWIN, Esq. is
stated at 46,0001. The issue of notes out is
