CLOHE AXD RICHARDS V. SADLER-
-

Mr. WiST opened the pleadir!gs.—Mr. Serjeant PELL stated
the case to the Jury. The plaintiffs were respectable bottle
merchants in Spitalfields, and the defendant the keeper of an
extensive repository in lloswell-street. The action was brought
to recover the sum of 351. being the value of a horse sold by
the defendant, with a warranty of soundness, and the amount
of his keep since the sale. The horse was proved to be unsound.
Serjeant VaUGH_►?i, for the defendant, said he should
defend the action on the ground of no notice of return having
been given within a limited period.
A general notice, put up at the defendant's premises, was
proved, but was held not to he sufficient, and the Jury're-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 50 guineas, being
the amount of the value of the horse and his keep, from Au-
gust last to the present time.

into action, eeery man, when duly employed, is a positive gain
to the State; bet,
_when, deprived of profitable employment,
is a loss to it, on the other hand, of about fifty pounds per
minute ; and consequently that 'the consumption of every
toreignnrticle, (even thouglisuch articles were bestowed upon
us as a donation) provided we can produce the like of the
foreign' article ourselves with otherivke unemployed people,
is dearer to us than if we paid such of our own unemployed
people for its production fifty pounds per annum per man.
That n large taxation can be supported only by a -large in-
come, that neither the quality or cost of things are State ques-
tions, but belong solely to traffickers, producers, and consum-
ers, arid that all that statesmen have to do is to ascertain their
value to the State and protect them
,accordimgly.
The time of meeting will be announced iu a future adver-
tisement.—The Gentlemen who attend it are. requested to be
pi spared to approve or to dispute .the accuracy of the above
propositions. The Editors of Newspapers, and other publi-
cations, are invited to insert arguments in opposition to these
principles, provided they do the same by the answers. Those
who understand the fundamental rules on which the propo-
sitions are grounded, as well as those who do nut, and yet
feel a lively interest in their success, if found to be tree, may

ceased to consider them attractive ; therefore, to have one of

The Court being duly sworn,, and the charges read, the pri-
soner pleaded guilty, threw himself on the mercy of the Court,
and handed the following letter to the President : •
" Clarendon, July 5, 1822.
" Mr. President, and Members of this Honourable Court-
-1 am extremely sorry, sorry beyond expression, for having in
an unguarded moment, *hen liquor was operating in my head,
and overcome by passion, acted rash and inconsistently ; and I
must beg to say, that with respect to my striking Lieutenant
Benger, it is a circumstance entirely out of myrecollection,
Lieut. Benger being a.gentleman I have always had the greatest
respect for, both in his public as well as private capacity : but
if such was the case, 1 humbly entreat his forgiveness. I
thefefore setup no defence, but throw-myself on your mercy
and clemency.
" I remain, Mr. President, and Members of this
" Honourable Court, your very obedient servant,
" FREDLRICK MILLER.
" To the President and Members of the

Court Martial, Chapelton."
The PREAID-ENT, after some consultation, addressed the
prisoner as
" Ftpderick Miller—The Court, after due consideration, and
fully weighing the charges exhibited against you, and in con-
sequence of your having pleaded guilty, and thrown yourself
on the mercy of the Court, do sentence you to pay the mitigated
fine of twenty-six pounds, and to be and stand committed till
such fine he paid."

BILIOUS AND LIVER cQmPLAINTs.

AS a mild and. effectual Remedy .for all those
Disorders which originate is a vitiated action of the
Liver and Biliary Organs, namely, Indigestion, Loss of Appe-
tite, Headache, Heartburn, Flatulencies, Spurns, Costive-
ness,, Affections of the Liver, &c. &c. DIXON'S ANTIBILI-
OUS PILLS have met with more general approval than any
other Medicine whatsoever. They unite every recommenda-
tion of mild operation with successful effect; and require no
restraint or confinement whatever during their use. In tro-
pical climates, where the coniequencei of redundant and
tiated Bile are so prevalent and alarming,.they are an invalu-
able and .etlicient protection. They are likewise peculiarly
calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the
Table—to restore the Tone of the.Stomachand to remove
most Complaints occasioned by Irregularity of the Bowels.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, an in-
quisition was taken before Join; WRIGHT UNWIN, Esq. one
of the Coroners for Middlesex, at the sign of the Rose an'd
Crown, in Goswell-street, on view of George Clifford, aged 13,
who destroyed himself under the following singular circum-
stances :

The first witness, Mr. Bonnel Williams, a surgeon, deposed
to the cause of the boy's death, which he said was evidently oc-
casioned by hanging. All the means of resuscitation were
used for nearly two hours without effect. He had no previous
knowledge of the deceased.
Mrs. Ann Bocock sworn.—l am a housekeeper to Mr. W.
Wase. On Wednesday last between one and two o'clock, I
had occasion to go into the cellar for some water, when I saw
the deceased twisted tight in the jack towel, and in a kneeling,
posture ; 1 was terribly alarmed, and shrieked out for assist-
ance, when my master and one of his men came down stairs.
The deceased was released from the towel by ,my master after
much difficulty. I then went up stairs and tan for medical as-
sistance. 'The deceased was between 13 and 14 years of age.
I have heard he had often before put his head in the towel, and
twisted himself round till he was quite giddy, but I cannot state
this on my own authority.
CORONER.—Have you any reason to suspect that the de-
ceased intended his destruction ?

Witness.—Certainly I have not, I think it was done acci.
dentally. lle must have twisted himself round till he was
senseless, and so lost his life.

Mr. W. Wase sworn.—l am a butcher carrying on business
at No. <149, Goswell-street ; the deceased was my servant, and
had been in my employ about 18 months. On hearing the screams
of the last witness I ran down stairs, and found the deceased in
the cellar with his head in the towel, which was twisted very
tight round his neck. He was lying with his face towards the
ground. He was'quite dead and cold. The deceased was often
in the habit of twisting his head in the towel, and had often
been warned against it.
CORONER.—Had you any reason to believe that he meant to
commit suicide ?—Witness replied in the negative.
John Kinnard, servant to last witness, sworn.—l went into
the cellar with my master, who took the deceased out of the
towel. He was on his knees, with his hands hanging down.
His head was in the towel, which was twisted very, tight round
his neck. My master could not release him without taking the
towel off the-rail. The deceased had been missing about half
an hour. lie was quite. dead when he was found. The de-
ceased had been in the habit of twisting his head in the towel
before in a playful manner, and I had often told him he would
do it once too often. _ .

The CORONER, in addressing the Jury, observed, that it
plainly appeared the deceased was in the habit of trying experi-
ments of this description, and it was quite evident that he did
not contemplate suicide.
The Jury consulted for some time, and returned a verdict—
" That the decteased strangled himself by accident, and not
with the intent to commit suicide.

GREECE.-A FRAGMENT.

As States increas'd, and Governments were form'd,
The :Muse less useful then retied to grots
And shady bow'rs, content-to teach and please.
Under her laurel frequent Bards repos'd ;
Voluble PxNDAR troll'd his rapid song,
And SAPPHO breath'd her spirited complaint.
Hence sprung the tragic rage, the lyric charm,
And HomER s genuine thunder.—Happy Greece !
Bless'd in her offspring ! Seat of-eloquence,
Of arms and reason ; patriot-virtue's seat !
Did the sun thither dart uncommon rays !
Did some presiding genius hover o'er
That animated soil with brooding wings !
The sad reverse might start. a gentle tear.
Go, search for Athens ; her deserted ports
Enter, a noiseless solitary shore,
Where commerce crouded the Piraean strand.
Trace her dark streets, her wall-embarrass'd shrines ;
And pensive wonder, where her glories beaufd.
Where are her orators, her sages, now ?
Shatter'd her mould'ring arcs, her tow'rs in dust,—
But far less ruin'd, than her soul decay'd.
The stone, inscrib'd to SOCRATES, debas'd
To prop a reeling cot.-31mEnvn't dome
Possess'd by those, who never kiss'd her shield.
—Upon the mount where old MuSAEDS sung,
Sits the gruff turban'd captain, and exacts
Harsh tribute !—ln the grove, where PLATO taught
His polish'd strain sublime, a stupid Turk
Is preaching ignorance and IllanomET.
Oh ! then let Virtue, Reason, Nature rise,
With energies combin'd, and rescue Greece.

MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

DEAL, OCT. I.—Wind E.—Sailed last night the whole of
the outward-bound for the River. Came down from the River
and sailed the Circassian, Wasse, for Portsmouth and Cal-
cutta ; Griffin, Garbutt, South Seas. Arrived and sailed for
the River the Burlington, Wilson, from Jamaica.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 30.—Wind E.—Ar;ived the Duke of
Kint Packet, from Lisbon in 9 days ; Neptune, Onung, from
Dram. Arrived off the port the Jane, Bullock, from Oporto
in 14 days.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. I.—Wind E.—Arrived the Acasto,
Cuthbertson, from Messina.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 30.—Wind E.—Arrived the Robert and
Margaret, Gray, from Riga in 17 days. Off the port the Alex-
ander, Miller, from Cadiz to Wyburg in 27 days. Passed by
the onge Adrian, Bonn, from Rotterdam to Batavia ; and
the Graham Moore, Lash, from Lisbon to London.
HARWICH, Oc T. I.—Arrived the Leinster, Hammond, from
Cuxhaven, with mails, &c.

SEPT. 30.—The continuation of the easterly wind has added
much to life and bustle of the town ; during the last week,
upwards of wo sail of vessels bound to the North, remain
wind bound in our harbour. On Wednesday, the Superb,
Leith and Edinburgh packet, put in with her mainmast
sprung, which was refitted, and she sailed with the rest of the
fleet on Friday, the wind having come round to the north ; in
the course of the day, however, it blew hard from the east, and
all again put back. The Superb, which had reached as far as
Winterton, was found to have sprung a leak, which required
much exertion to keep under. The Delf, a fine Dutch 64 gun
ship, one of the vessels which surrendered at the Texel, has
been sent by Government as a breakwater for the protection of
the north side of the town : she was towed from Chatham by
the Comet steam vessel, the same which performed that ser.
vice to the Royal George with his Majesty to the North.

•
DISTRESSING SHIPWRECK.— On Wednesday
night, the Selina, of Barmouth, bound from Newport to Liver-
pool, and laden with bar and sheet iron, and tin, was driven on
the Arklow Bank, where she soon became a complete wreck.
Part of the crew got into the long boat, and the remainder into
the jolly boat. Those in the latter (the Mate and two small
boys) were saved ; but with painful feelings we have to state,
that those in the long boat, consisting of the Captain, his wife,
and three sailors, unfortunately perished. The vessel is under
water. Her stern and sides were driven in ; but her masts, we
believe, are still standing.—( Wexford Herald.)

CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 2.
On Monday last Flour fell ss. per sack. 'We have had no
arrivals of consequence since that day, and the Market was very
heavy this morning; an abatement took place in the price of
Wheat ; the New Barley was heavy sale, at 2s. per quarter
lower than last market-day ; Oats are somewhat in demand; in
Beans and Peas, and all other articles, there is no alteration.

HUMBUG EXTRAORDINARY.

The venerable CORBETT lately favoured the
public with a statement of the various talents,
qualities, and knowledge, in which he excels Mr.
CANNIN9, who is too well known for want of
wit, eloquence, and learning, for barrenness of
imagination, and general deficiency of mental
powers, to require such a comparison in favour of
the former Seer, grey, not green, in experience.
But the venerable COBBETT did 'tot do himself

justice, as lie omitted one essential merit in his
character and conduct, viz. his impartiality,—for
has he not written for and against every question
and every subject that has come under his discus-
sion, and with an heroic fortitude that has braved
the universal contempt of mankind ! Mr. CAN-
NING, OR the contrary, with consistency that only
marks an ordinary mind, has uniformly maintained
the political opinions with which he commenced
his public career. He was a PITTITE from the
beginning, and he is a Prurrre still. He is so
narrow-minded as to prefer the old Constitution
'of this country, notwitt4standing all the lights
which the French Revolution could throw
upon The &prescriptible Rights of Man.—
Some apology, however, may be offered in
palliation of Mr. CANNING'S inferiority, com-
pared with the mind of Mr. Couum, enlighten-
ed as it is by practical experience and repeated
opportunities. Mr. CANNING never wrote with
such freedom in America as obliged him to
leave that country, return to this, and then to
indulge in such freedom here, as to compel him
to return to America.—Mr. CANNING has never,
like Mr. COBBETT, had the opportunity of re-
tirement in Newgate, an admirable school for im-
proving in knowledge of mankind. Mr. CAN-
NING never tould'.exercise his genius in writing
against England while in America, and against
America while in England.—Besides, Mr. CAN-
NING, from early life, was confined to the higher
ranks of society, and wanted the advantage of
various intercourse with human nature, it being
generally understood that the t►igher orders enter-
tain prejudices in favour of what they stile dig-
nity, and consequently Mr. CANNING must, of
course, be affected by their prejudices. Mr.
COBBETT, on the 'other hand, must have learned
much of AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE while he was a
plough-boy, and of MILITARY MATTERS while a
common soldier.—Facilities in literary composition
he must have acquired from the multiplicity of
his writings pro and con, and the noble firmness
with which he has been the advocate and the
opposer of whatever was touched by his impar-
tial pen. If, therefore, there is any Humbug in
the "case, it must attach to Mr. CANNING, who re-
mains silent under his comparative inferiority, so
strikingly stated by Mr. COBBETT, and yet pre-
sumes to hold an important rank in the National
Councils, to the exclusion of Mr. COBBETT, who,
in his own opinion (and who can know Mr.
COBBETT better than Mr. COBBETT knows him-
self) has such superior pretensions to the office.—
