KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

Lord DENMAN said, in the case of prohibition mentioned by
the Attorney- General yesterday, which involved the question
of the jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty, the Court
was of opinion that there was no objection to a Doctor of Civil
Law being heard, and the other side might avail themselves of
the same assistance if they thought proper.
The case was subsequently fixed for hearing to-morrow
morning.

THE KING V. BLACK AND ANOTHER, PROPRIETOR/1 OF THE

MORNING CHRONICLE NEWSPAPER.

In this case a rule had been obtained in the course of last
term, by the Attorney-General, calling upon the defendants to
shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed
against them for an alleged libel published in the Morning
Chronicle newspaper, reflecting upon the characters of
Messrs. Kelly and Dundas. The publication arose out
circumstances connected with the Ipswich Election, which
our readers will recollect had been made the subject of
investigation before a Committee of the House of Commons—
a prosecution had been subsequently instituted by order of
that House against John Pilgrim, J. B. Decent, and others,
for bribery at the Ipswich Election. The defendants to
that indictment had pleaded guilty, and on being brought up
for judgment, a great number of affidavits were put in and
read. Of these affidavits, amounting to upwards of sixty,
two were published in the Morning Chronicle, and it was
alleged that this was an ex parte publication, as the two
affidavits in question imputed to Messrs. Kelly and Dundas
a guilty knowledge of the acts of bribery committed by their
agents at the election.
The Court was occupied for several hours yesterday in
hearing Counsel against the rule. Messrs. M. D. Hill,
Palmer, Bingham, and Austen severally addressed the Court,
their arguments being principally directed to show that the
publication in question was a fair report of what had occurred
when the defendants in the prosecution for bribery were brought
up for judgment. A correspondence between the solicitors on
either side was also read, from which it was contended the
proprietors of the Paper had offered Messrs. Kelly and Dun-
das the use of their columns, to correct any erroneous or in-
jurious impression which the publication in question might
have made.

Sir Frederick Pollock, the Attorney_ General. and Sir W.
Follett, were this day heard in support of the rule. After a
lengthened argument, the Court conferred for about half an
hour together, when
Lord DENMAN said they would give their judgment tomor-
row; and,kin the mean time, they, would look carefully into all
the affidavits.

The following was received at Lloyd's yesterday :
" NOTICE.

" ABANDONMENT OF THE LIGHT AT POINT PALMYRAS, WITH
INSTRUCTIONS FOR VESSELS SEEKING A PILOT FOR THE RIVER

HOOMILY.

" The encroachment of the sea on the Island of Mypurrah,
commonly called Point Palmyras, rendering it necessary to
abandon' the light at that place, notice is hereby given that
the light will be forthwith abandoned accordingly ; and that
from the 15th of March to the 15th of September. the period
during which the pilot vessels' cruise off Point Palmyras, until
further notice the senior pilot at the station will burn a blue
light and immediately after fire a rocket every half hour
during the night, commencing at 7 P. M., and ending at 5 n: M.
" 2. The vessel on board of which such senior pilot may
be will be instructed to take up a position, tho Point bearing
W. by N., distant J 8 miles, and in 18 or 20 fathoms water, and
to keep in.. that position during the night as near as possible.
" 3. The simultaneously firing a rocket, with the burning
of a blue light, is ordered to distinguish the pilots' station off
the point from the floating light vessel at the entrance of the
Eastern Channel. .
" 4. The pilot vessels during the above period cruise in the
day off Point Palmyras, and anchoring during the night in a
line E. and W., in latitude 20 deg. 42 mm; to 20 deg. 48
min. N., with the point bearing W. by S. ; but the senior
officer's vessel, showing the blue light, and firing the rocket,
will be stationed as above. If, however, about the beginning
of September, the wind come from the E., or the weather as-
sumes a threatening appearance, the pilot vessels necessarily
haul off to the E., and may be found in a line between the
point and the floating light ♦essel at the entrance of the
Eastern Channel ; and vessels approaching the station about
that period with the wind hanging to the eastward, or the wea-
ther having a threatening appearance, are accordingly recom-
mended on no account to approach the point, but rather to en-
deavour to make for the floating light at the entrance of the
Eastern Channel ; and it is further notified that after the 15th
September no pilot vessel will be found to the westward of the
Western Sea Reef.

"5. From the 15th September to the 15th March, the pilot
vessels cruise during the day between Saugur Sand and the
Western Sea Reef, anchoring in the night E. and W. of each
other, in lat. 21 to 21 10 N. .

" 6. Vessels approaching the station on seeing the pilot
vessels are requested in the day to make for that vessel on board
of which they will see a large red flag flying at the main,
whenever they can do so, without great inconvenience or
delay. In the night the vessel having the next turn pilot on
board is ordered, between the 15th of March and the 15th of
September, while the vessels cruize of Point Palmyras, to
burn a maroon every half-hour during the night, or one quarter
of an hour after the burning of the blue light and firing off the
rocket ; and between the 15th of September and the 15th of
March, at the Floating Light Station, at the entrance of the
Eastern Channel, every hour, and in thick weather every half-
hour ; and vessels are requested, in like manner, to seek their
pilot in the night from that vessel, it being understood, howe-
ver, that any pilot vessel which may be first seen is bound im-
mediately to use every exertion to put a pilot on board, night
or day, without referring to any turns or rotations, and that this
latter is only allowed when no delay is occasioned thereby.
" By order of the Marine Board,
"C. B. GREENLAW, Sec.
" Fort William, Calcutta, Jan. 21, 1836."

reported having passed a barque with female emigarnts from
London, going up the river Derwent on the 29th January,
supposed to be the Boadicea, which left the Downs on the 4th
October ; she was expected to have reached Hobart Town on
the following day, the 30th January.

M. DE BERIOT'S CONCERT.—M. de Beriot's
morning concert took took place yesterday at the Great Room,
King's Theatre. The crowded audience sufficiently proved
the superior attractions of M. de Beriot's programme. This
distinguished artist performed a new concerto, composed ex-
pressly for the occasion ; and whether we regard him as a com-
poser or violinist, it would be difficult to find his equal. The
concerto abounds in original passages ; and reprobating that
absurd criterion of the present day which estimates excellence
by mere difficulty of execution, we congratulate M. de Beriot
on the flowing melodies so beautifully contrasting the more
abstruse parts of this fine composition. Madame Malibran de
Beriot surpassed herself. In the simple ballad, the duetto
buffo, and the aria grandiosa, she alike enchanted amateur and
professor. Grisi also gave " The Polacca " with her accus-
tomed excellence; and the other vocalists displayed their
wonted powers. Miss E. Bisset performed a brilliant fantasia
on the harp, of her own composition, well calculated to deve-
lope the powers of the instrument, and in which she cleverly
introduced a difficult pianoforte studio of the celebrated J. B.
Cramer.

MR. LISTER'S " GRANBY."—This highly ima-
ginative novel is now, we perceive, in course of publication in
weekly numbers, at one shilling each, to be completed in five
numbers (the 2nd of which will be published to-morrow), with
a Portrait of the Author, in the new weekly Issue of Mr.
Colburn's admirable series of " Modern Novelists." A more
striking instance of cheap literature is hardly to be found
than in the progress and execution of this collection of ap-
proved works, which already contains Mr. Bulwer's " Pelham."
" Devereux," and " The Disowned ;" Capt. Marryat's
" Frank Mildmay," Lady Morgan's " O'Donnel," Mr. Ho-
race Smith's " Brambletye House," &c. Of their merits it is
unnecessary, at this time, to speak our object is merely to call
the attention of the reading public to the extremely low price
(one-fifth of the original cost), at which these standard fictions
are now attainable. One great and novel attraction of this
series is the finely executed portraits of the various authors
whose works it contains.
