A very violent storm broke out at Toulon on the
19111 Sept. Towards noon • ;Went shower of lain fell with
extraordinary violence, accompanied with loud claps of thunder.
A thunderbolt fell and struck the fort of Lanialque, where it
made one victim, sad was scar producing one of the greatest
of misfortanes—efor the explosion took place a few feet from
the powder chest, where was deposited at the time • consider-
able quantity of powder. After a loud deteeation, the ball
fell hi the shape of • great column of tire, OD all unhappy soldier
who wad standing keminel outride the drawbridge of the fort.
This unfortunate soldier retired into the sentry-box to shelter
himself from the rains which fall with extraordinary force in
these countries. The bolt struck the brass claps on his neck
collar—thence it descended on a small pin which the man had
at the button-hole of his coat, and was broken in pieces ; then
after having passed between the coat and the belt, whiell was
quite black above, without either the coat or the buttous suf-
fering the leant injury, it fell into the sea, which was quite
near. The uofortanate man fell quite dead, without exhibiting
the least contusions. His musket remained at his side midis
Curbed. Two other soldiers who came to the fort, sad were
near the sentry box, were knocked down with the same thunder
bolt. Relief was brought, and alter an hour's suffering they
were perfectly well. Two people were killed by The lightning
within seven or eighr !capes of Toulon. On the road from
Toulon to theme an unfortunate coal-dealer is supposed to have
pe. jibed. lies mole, laden with coal, was carried away by the
rain into a torrent, where it was drowned. At Marseilles the
rain was so very berey that it has done considerable mischief
in the town and its vicinity; hailstones of extraordinary mag-
nitude fell with great force, and broke most of the glass in the
windows.

BAYONNE, SEPT. 9.—The attention of our poli-
ticians is excited in an extraordinary degree by the
military preparation■ making here—such as the ar-
rival of a large quantity of ammunition, provisions,
forges, arc. Yet we see hardly any movement of
troop,; for except NO men lately arrived from l'a.
ris, the Cordon has not received the reinforcements
which the Paris Journals have announced. It is
true that preparations are spoken of for funning a
camp of 12,000 men in this country from Bidart to
St. Jean de Li.z, as well as of the speedy arrival of
the troops that are to compose it. Other reports are

LONDOV MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY. SEPT. 43.
The supply of Wheat at market this day is considerable, but
there is no material alteration in price, bales being brisk at our
last quotations. 'rile quantity of Oats in the market continues
very small, and its consequence this article of grain is from Is. to
4s. per qr. dearer, and at that advance sales are brisk. The sup-
ply of Batley being larger than for the last two or three market
days, both New and Old have suffered a reduction of from Is. to
25., and sales are far from being brisk at that reduction. There
is no alteration worth noticing in Beans and P:ass and all other
grain remains as we last quoted.

to the Acts of the 17th and 3sili of Gro. 111. which apply
to all copies of engravings, and not according to
his con-
strncthin, to engravings which were nut exact copies.
The prima in question differed in some respects front
those published by the plaintiff, and therefore ilie action,
which was founded upoir ilia auove staintes, could lint be
sustained.

The Common Sergeant and Mr. Reader were heard on
the same Aide.
Mr. Scat let!, in support of the verdict, said, the altera-
tion so tumuli relied on try his learned friends was only the
removal of a helmet front one combatant to the head of
another. There sten also some slight variation with res-
pect to drapery; but, essentially, the figures were copies
of the plaintiff's plates.
The Court were of opinion, that the slight deviation
from the plaintill's engravings could not take the case out
of the operation of the Acts of Parliament passed for the
protection of this species of property. They theiefote
held that the verdict ought to mood.

SELLS V. HOARE AND CO.

In this case it appeared that the plaintiff was a publican,
renting the Coach and Horses, a public house in St. John-street-
road, from the defendants, who were brewers. They wishing
to get the house into their possession, proposed that the plaintiff
should gist it up, to which the plaintiff consented, provided a
person named Fancy was substituted in his place. An agree-
ment was made between the parties, that the plaintiff should re-
ceive the value of the fixtures and furniture; and also that he
should be allowed the expenses of the repairs which had bees
made on the premises. The sum agreed upon for the above
items was 4201. by a valuation made by a Mr. Powell.; and 471.
17s. for the repairs. A valuation was afterwards made of the
furniture and fixtures, by a man named NVhite, a broker, who
had formerly been employed as a valuator by the defendants.
which amounted to 2521. la consequence the defendants re-
fused to pay any more than the latter sum, as also the expenses
of the repairs. The plaintiff then brought his action for the
differeuec between the two valuation*, ainounting to 1601. and
the repairs, amountinz to 431. 17s. when the Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff for 1021.
!11r. Sergeant Vaughan, in the early part of last Term, ob-
tained a rule to show cause why this verdict should not he set
aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of the verdict beinx
a4.iinst e%idenee and the cause was now shewn by Mr. Ser-
geant Pell, who contended that there could be no grounds for
this application,
_ _

The. Lord Chief Justice Dallas declined giving ■ny opinion
with regard to the case, as lie had tried it.
Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Justice Richardson, stated it to be
their opinion, that a new trial should be granted ; not upon the
merits of the case ; but as there had been some imputation
thrown on the defendants of improper conduct, it was proper
they should have an opportunity of clearing theinsely es.
Mr. Justice Harrougli was of opinion that r new trial should
not he granted.
Rale made absolute, with coats.

seduction of her daughter. The plaintiff had been left a widow
with three children, two daughters and one son, and in order to
maintain them had established a small publio house at Meldreth,

havin; purchased them fur 2821. be represented that lie could not
obtain them for less titan 3n21., by which he defrauded the
plaintiff of 1001. There were other counts, not imputing fraud,
hut negligence io the discharge of the duty of agent, and not
buying at the lowest price which would have been taken.
The Jury found a verdict fur the plaintitf—damages 1001.
The Lord Chief Justice said, that the defendant might be
ignorant of the fraud, but be ought to have protected the in-
terests of his principal with greater diligence.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 22.
nooT v. DUNCAN AND EADON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover da-
mages fur an assault, alleged to have been committed by the
defendants.
Sergeant Vaughan conducted the case for the plaintiff; and,
from his statement, it appeared that the whole of the parties are
persons of a respectable station in life, and reside in the hamlet
of Mile-end hew Town. The plaintiff is a gentleman retired
from business. The defendant, Mr. Duncan, had been a captain
in the navy, and is a retired ship-holder, and Mr. Eadon, the
other defendant, is a ship builder. The two defendants had
been concerned in • suit at law, in which, from the temper
subsequently manifested, it did not appear that they were suc-
cessful. On that trial Mr. Boot, the plaintiff, was subporeaed
■s a witness, but not examined; and this appeared to have ex-
cited great ill-will towards Lim in the mind of Capt. Duncan,
and that his friend, Mr. Eadon, strongly participated in this
feeling, which both maintained until the oppormnity arrived on
which they committed the assault complained of, and which
was afterwards detailed by die witnesses in evidence.
Mr. George Bowyer, a wine-merchant, of Stepney, was
the first witness called. He stated that he was acquainted
with the parties, and saw them all at a parish meeting
held for the purpose of electing trustees, tad Mr. Eadon
was one of the candidates, and strongly supported by Capt.
Duncan. The plaintiff came up to the table, whether in sup-
port of the other candidate or not the witness did not know, but
he recollected that Mr. Eadon accosted him with " you false-
swearing scoundrel, or villain, you forswore yourself," which
he repeated, and tapped on the shoulder of Mr. Duncan, who
also assailed the plaintiff, and the witness saw him spit in the
face of the latter before the whole assembly, and • cry of shame
was raised, when some persons interposed, and the parties
were separated. Mr. Duncan was a very tall and stout man,
but the plaintiff shirt and diminutive.
Mr. Pettit, and two other witnesses, corroborated the state-
ment of Mr. Bowyer.
Witnesses were called on behalf of the defendant, but they
failed in altering the complexion of the facts of the case proved
against die defendant.
The Jury deliberated for a minute, and returned a verdict for
the plaintiff.—Dtmages 1501.

•14/tr,

Inge. ..Aid, he Lad that grossly sad wantonly shamed. The
defendant attended the family, whose peace and hap mimes he
had thus overturned, as their medical adviser, and this siteation
not only gave him a freedom of intercourse, possessed by no
other individual, but occasion that intercourse to be watched
with less suspicion than would have been the case with any
other person. Taking advantage of this circumstance he Lad
seduced the daughter, and had effected his purpose too at the
very time when she was just recovering from all illness which
had afforded Lim the means of frequently visiting her. The
defendant was then about 30; and the offspring of his artifices
about 1(1 years of she. When this was first discovered by the
mother, he had expressed his sincerest regret, and had stated
that his intentions to her had always been honourable, sod as
soon as possible he would fulfil them, He had since however
destroyed his power of faltilling them by marrying another wo-
man, and the plaintiff being thus disgraced and injured was ob-
liged la have recourse to the tribun 's of her country for that
justice which ibis individual bad denied her. The learned Ser-
gest]. called the brother of the plaintiff and the daughter herself,
who proved the case.
Alr. Sergeant Vaughan addressed the Jury for the defendant,
and stated that lie should edditee evidence to shew that ibis
daughter bad not only permitted, but had actually solicitekl, cri•
mivalint:rcourse with other person•.
Witnesses having been examined for this purpose,
Mr. Sergeant Len, replied, and observed on the improbability
of the cireumstnimes detailed by the witnesses,
Lord Chief Justice Dallas left it to the Jury to decide whe-
ther they could believe, on the evidence of the witnesses for
the defendant, that this girl was guilty of the profligate and
gross conduct with which they had Barged tier. If they
thought that the tale told by those witnesses was false, then the
wickedness of the defence heightened the :twat sting circum-
stanees of the crime.

The Jary asked what were the circumstances of the defend-
ant, when they were told that no evidence of his possessing any
property had been given, and he bad only been an assistant to
• surgeon at the time of the seduction. They then gave a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—Damages 1501.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
MONDAY, MAY 20.
THE JOHN BULL NEWSPAPER.

THE SING V. WLAVEK, t4DACKEI.L. AND ARROWMITH.
Ass as the Judges had taken their seats, these de-
fendants appeared on the fluor of the Court to receive
judgment. Mr. Justice Bayley addressed them in nearly
the following terms:—
„ Yoe have been found guilty of publishing in a news.
paper called the Johw Bull, during the months of February,
March', April, and May, 1821, tise libels on her late Ma-
jesty. When you were last before the Court, those libels
were statediutliciently for the purposes of justice, and
they must be too fresh in the recollection of all to need
repetition at present. No one can doubt that in point of
law they are each and every one of them a hard, as they
greatly exceed the tilting bounds of newspaper discussion.
A newspaper is the 'Holier vehicle for intelligence ; its
pages may also be open to sober, calm, unimpassioned
disquisitiou, but it must never be the medium of titivate
or mil political calumny. At the time ashen you were last
before the Court, you said nothing to aggravate your of-
fence. The Conn observe that you are now in custody
for another libel, not unconnected with the subject of lime
peseta charge, but that none of these passages were pub-
lished sluice the former sentence was pronounced on you.
Had you, after the warning you then received, offended
in the same way, in defiance of the Court, it would have
been a high aggravation of your present ctime. One of
you,Thomas Arm owsmitli, has made an affidavit, confirmed
by a medical gentleman, stating that lie labours under an 11

this defendant, in consideration of his infirmity, I trust
that it will have its due influence on his mind, mud induce
haul to make a suitable return for the mercy shown him,
by refraining from s' 'tar publications in future. The
Conti, taking all time circumstances of the case into its

Al VOW smith do pay a fine of 2001. to the King; amid that
you Robert Thomas I%'eaver, and yon William Sliackell,

three mouths, and do each of you pay to the King a tine ut
Ittel.; and that you do all give security fur your good
behaviour for live yenta, yourselves in MAC aud two sure-
ties in 2501. each, and that you be imprisoned till such
fines be paid, and such seem ities given."
The defendants bowed, and left the Conrt iu custody.

THE. FUNDS,YESTERDAV, ONE o'etoce..—Some
sales have been made this morning, particularly
among the Jew party, which has caused a heavy
market. Consols, up to this hour, are 80ii; Re-
duced SO; and for August, 811. The Ibreign
market is exceedingly heavy,owing to the informa-
tion from Spain. Letters from Barcelona of the
27th ult. state, that the insurgents have stopped the
mails with the letters, took them from the courier,
and burnt them; amongst which were letters from
London to the 14th of June. It is the general opi-
nion on 'Change, that the insurrection of the troops
at Madrid will not be of long duration, that they
will be obliged to surrender, and submit to the
Constitution.—Every manoeuvre is made use of to
raise the price of the new Prussian Bonds, but with-
out effect. Spanish Bonds have not recovered from
their depression of one per cent., and little is doing
in them. The whole of the Securities look heavy,
with little business doing.
Charleston papers to the 16th ult. announce the
arrest of William Borth wick, for whose apprehension
a large reward was offered by the proprietors of the
East Lothian Bank, of which he was cashier. lie
was taken into custody on the 7th ult. at Savannah,
where he arrived in the Juno, from Liverpool. A.
portion only of the money with which he is charged
to have absconded has been recovered. It is said
that he had deposited the principal part in Europe,
payable to order.

refused payment by the bankers of the establishment.
One of the parties concerned has recently become
notorious by applications made to the Court of King's
Bench, to compel him to pay over monies to a
great amount, which he had received on account of
those, wbo being foolish enough to rely upon his
honour, had empowered hint to act as their agent—
another party is, and long has been, notorious for
more than we could with safety specify while truth
is held legally to be a libel. Young Wilding, in The
Citizen, exclaims—" the King het not in his gift so
valuable a thing as a commission of bankruptcy,"
but at the time that sentence was written the funds
of " the Constitutional Association" were not in ex-
istence, or probably the lie direct might have been
given upon experience of both those benefits by a
certain " Honorary" who at present finds it prudent
to keep his deineure a profound secret—the treasurer
we hear is an honest man, in spite of his having
been entrapped into a connection with the indivi-
duals above alluded to, and he certainly owes it to
his own character, as a tradesman of respectability,
instantly to call a general meeting, and by a fair and
candid exhibition of his accounts remove from hintselt
the odium of embezzlement, which we feel gonvinced
cannot with propriety be attached to

SE! T. 19.—The opinion of the committee pro-
posing a decree in seven articles relative to Brazil
(which has already been printed), declaring the acts
of the government of Rio null, recalling the Pi ince
Royal, &e. was discussed, and gave rise to a very
long and animated debate, the continuation of which
was adjourned to the next sitting.
The Cortes having approved of the opinion of the
committee of the constitution, on the applicat i,ri of
some deputies of Brazil, who desired that their
tUnctioes should be considered as terminated, be-
cause the province that sent them did not agree,
winch opinion was founded on the circumstance
that this disagreement (dissidemia) was not certain,
and therefore they should retain their functions till
these provinces should name other deputies to the
Cortes convoked at Rio. The deputies proposed to
defer signing the constitution fur the present.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER.

Harvest was finished in the southern and forward districts
during the course of the last mon Is; in the northern and less
favoured, during the present. A tolerably accurate general
estimate may now be foinital. Oa all the best lands, wherever
situated, the wheat crop is considerably above an average, the
quality uncommonly weighty and tine; and the straw, although
not so bulky as in some years, substantial and extremely valua-
ble. The oat straw, as fodder, will almost equal the hay of some
years. The spring crops, it is now confirmed, are generally
detective, but the quality is generally good ; upon moist and
productive light lands, however, sonic of these crops have reached
an average; and, with respect to barley, it is remarked in the
barley counties, that the old stock on hand equals in quantity
the new growth. Hays and gras-es rather of fine condition than
very great plenty, with exceptions of heavy crops and constant
plenty green Mod. particularly aftermath on various parts.
)n potatoes and turnips nothing new, the former a universally
productive growth, the quantity greatly enhanced by superior
quality, the latter defective in both ; as to Swedes, scarcely any
quotable crop. The eagerness of the farmers, and the two
growths, occasioned part of the wheat almost every where to be
carted and stacked prematurely; whence heating and a necessity
of preventive measures. A great Imp and fruit year, even to
pears, in some part,. The greatest grape season of the last 4n.
Ihe cider manufactory has commenced. The live stock and
flesh markets, as well as that of corn, have of !.ite made some
stand and sonic advance of price ; but autumn, the season of
plenty and of overflow, is at hand. The (allows are backward
for want of rain, and very little wheat has yet been pat into the
earth. The state of the farming interest is truly deplorable, in
which the poor labourer must necessarily share. Sir Henry
Bunbury has taken the lead in recommending, by a circular to
his Suffolk tenantry, the discontinuance fur the present of the
WC of the threshing machine.

Extract of a letter from Bahia, dated July SO:—
" During the last month the European troops have
been impressing every slave they could find to work
gratis, and thus ruining numbers of poor families, in
digging ditches and throwing up entrenchments, as
a protection against an attack they have been hourly
looking for from the native troops, assembled in dif-
ferent parts of the interior, and expecting to be as-
sisted by a squadron and forces from Rio, which, up
to the present moment, have not made their appear-
ance. Vessels have been armed in this port, and
hastily sent on the track to endeavour, if possible, to
intercept them. No sales of any description but in
provisions can be efLeted, and tew or no payments
respected, even for bills. Houses, in consequence,
which have immense sums outstanding, have not
weekly receipts of 501. Every family, in the ex-
pectation of active war in the city, is laying in se-
veral months' provisions."
