9.6.--Yesterday Coe anniversary
sitting of the French Academy was -held for the
distribution of the annual prizes given for poetical
coknposition. The subject announced last year
for the French muse was the 64 Abolition of the
Slove 'Erade." M. Raynouard, the author of the
ft‘ Templars " and the learnedwork the poetry
on
and literature of the Troubadours, who is l'erpe-
teal Secretary of the Academy, delivered an ap-
Bropriate preliminary discourse, in which he
sketched the history of personal slavery—de-
scribed its state among the ancients—quoted
lii OspiniotlS >of ancient historians and philosb-
phem on the subject—and traced the influence
of Christianity in effectinF its abolition in mo..
tivin iilarope, From tins he passed to the
history of the Negro Slave. Trade, and produced
the opinion of Mottlequiett, and some other
1.-reuch authors, on its cruelty and injustices-T-
-.14, might naturally have been supposed that the
Perpe,tual Secretary of the Academy would have
proceeded in his historical narratives and liberal
praises, and would have placed some of our abo-
litionists awong the worthies whose exertions had
contributed to produce the result at which Mon.
tesquieu and other enlightened ,French had
aimed. But no—his audience was
,not told that
therb was atrclt a hotly in existence as the British
Parliament—that such men eyer lived as Wilber-
force and Clarkson. Ititynouptd's liberality,
justice, and humanity must be very domestic vir-
tues ; for., Recording 4o the words of the play,
‘. they not -only begin at home, but end at
Lorne ;" tiny at It ast do not venture to cross the
,Channel, though they may travel to
Africa. The first prize was adjudged to M.
t?'hunvet, whose poem, containing snipe eiegatit
verses, was read entire by M. Picard, the cele-
brated comic, writer. After this part of the 'nisi-
ilet;s of the day had been concluded, M, Fraysi.
IWO) the Bishop of Bermopolis, who presided at
the sitting, proceeded to a novel kind of business
for,a literary society, namely, the distribution of
Prizes for virtuous actions—piizes lately founded
li v Baron'Mont you. They Were five, one of 1,.600
f.4.ancs., and four, medals of 1,000 francs value
each, adjudged to persons in humble life, who,
during the last year, had pprformed some strik-
ingly virtuous action, or series of, acts. The Bi-
shop, in performing this part-of his duty, corn-
inenced it by a discourse at which tin Academy
must have been ashamed, containing not a single
striking thought, phrase, or expression, but filled
with the dullest common-place and the, most vul-
gar prejudices. The drift of his speculation
Was, that no virtue existed in the common ranks
of society till it was created by the example, and
loctered by the encouragement, of the most vir-
tuous, tnost educated, most religious, and most

taken 'Meant* that the Duicc of ingonierne may ba every
where received in suitable manner. Account; from Baenza,
of the ind July; say,' that 5,000 men or he army ot Ballaste-
rost under the command of General. Calansat, had entered
Todar, where they took all the cattle and horses they could
find, and then marchettpwards Baenza, Where they had given
ordera that 10,000 ratiotiff Would be-pre' red` for them they,
however' did not go there, but proceeded to Jaen, which they
entered on the 20th' and remained till the ".21st, and tlien
marched towards the Garda. It is said that the compaoies of
artillery which werelo beemployed in the siege of SarragOssn,
have received counter orders, and that they are to go to Bur
gos with field pieces : however, at least half of the heavy artil-
lery is already .gone.
Letters from the environs of Barcelona say, that the whole
plan has_ been discovered with which General Sarsfield was con-
nected ; 50 canons have been shot.. It is reported that an Eng-,
lish frigate. has arrived at Cadiz ; immediately after the land
ing of the :.Envoy, who was on, beard, the Cones assembled,
and it was decided that for the future every proposal should be
rejected, If it was not treated in. concert with England. The
line of Custom-houses has been positively established on the
Ebro as it_was before the Revolution : this gives great satisfac-
tion in the three provinces, and also in Navarre: our city, too,
will gain by it. The Etnpecinado is stated, in letters from
Burgos, to, have entered Salamanca : they do not say how he
conducted himself. The Cure Merino has left Estremadura,
and gone with his little band to the province of Placencia.
From the Itinerary of the Dukeal'Angoideme it, appears that
he will travel slowly, his arrival at Seville being fixed for the
19th of August.
A person has just arrived from Santander, where they had
news from Coiunna of the 28th : there was at that time no ap-
pearance of a speedy surrender. Every precaution had been
taken to save the prizes, and the goads anti valuable effects be-
longing to the Constitutional inhabitants.
The Secretary of the English Legation has passed through
here from Cadii, with dispatches ; and also M. le Comte de
Belluno.

POETRY.

'LINES ON MISS:JERNINONAM'S MARRIAGE.
*Aim); AT cosspr..
Oh ! weep for the Pride of the valley ! she's flown
.To glad with her fithileithe far mountains and towers :
Lovely groves 1 her lost beauties, once crowning thine own, •
Now bereave thy sweet wreath of the best of its flowers.
Yet, why should we sully that day with a tear,Which, ,.
for her Whom we Love, dawns with hope and delight ;
Like the soft Summer Mean, through her unclouded sphere
fieth.sbe.pasited—led her part,lik,e the Queen oldie Night.
Sweet Lady!. whenever we think on thy form,
'Twill glide round us now, silent blessings to shed.
In the full pride of maidenly beauty, su warm
Yet so pure, that the snow scarce vsitS marled by thy tread
Oh how should we paint thee a wiftiarld a whither?
Ties, fondest and dearest, that bind us on enth ;• •
No, it only can be the dear bliss of another,
To feel all thy love, and to know all-thy worth.
But should we still remember thee, Bride as thou arf,
Till time shall have silver'd thy now riven hair
If we find not thy bloom, we shall still find thy heart
The same as in youth—uncorrupted and fair.
Then we'll. picture thee thus, and whenever we hear
Thy praises re-echoed from North back to South,
We shall think on thy beauty, and say with a tear
Of regret, yet of pride, here was nuttur'd her youth.
And thou wilt not forget us—thourt think of that spot
Which has shelter'd that age free front every care; .
And when husband and child from thy bosont shall blot
All weaker affections—vie still shall be there.
Then, dear Lady, farewell ! may the land of thy love
Be as blissful for thee as the land of thy birth
May'st thou live all the blessings of Ileav n to prove,
And thy borne be the happiest home upon Earth.

The Paris Journals of Monday arrived last
Light. They contain little intelligence of any
importance, excepting accounts of the continual
movement of French troops towards the Spanish
frontiers. On their side the Spaniards appear to
be making every effort to meet the menaced ag-
gression. 111 I NA, in Catalonia, is repairing,
Provisioning, and garrisoning the forts of
Urgel, to enable them to stand a long siege, and
'to serve as a point from which parties may be
-dispatched to carry on a species of guerilla war-
141'
against the invading army. Besides which,
'the whole country has been laid waste to prevititc,

the French from deriving any ,supplies frorp„it
their advance, and to compel them to draw all
their resources from France, which will afford the
Guerillas a favourable opportunity of cutting off
the enemy's supplies, and of impeding their ope-
rations. In Navarre the Spaniards are equally.
active. T012,11/JOS is fortifying Roncesvalles, so
as to protect Pampeluna, and to defend it against
the first attack of the French army, as •it is
stated that the Duke d'AtioocLExc intends to.
enter Spain in that direction.

A Mail arrived from Lisbon this morning, and
has brought us the following intelligence:—
" tams, FEB. I.—The expedition for Bahia
is still in the river. General Dc REMO is ap-
pointed to the command, and he has applied for an
additional force of 4,000 men. The news from Brazil
mention that Bahia was'closely pressed by 6,000
Brazilians, and that there was a great want of
provisions ; but the inhabitants, especially -the
Europeans, were animated with the greatest
attachment to the Constitution. The Cortes
have chiefly been engaged in financial discussions.
At the Sittings of the 30th of January a proposal
was made, which was read to Sir JOJIN' Do YLE,
as Agent to the-English Company, for the esta-
blishment of Ports in this Kingdom.—There has
been a dreadful storm, accompanied with inces.
sant rain, and, it is feared considerable damage
will be done to the oranges and lemons."

BOARD OF ORDNANCE.

Mr. lIMIE *aid, he lied no doubt the"sobject ha was about
to introduce to the notice of the House .would be fonnd to be one
deserving of the most serious attention. He had, in the outset
to observe, that the Commission of 141ilitary Inquiry, the'Re.
ports'of which were before the House, had been uppointed,in
,consequence of the 45th of Geo. 111. cap. 27,.f or inquiring into
and correcting abuses of the Military Department of the public
service. Thw being a Board of Inquiry appointed by. Ilerlia.
Mont, he conceived that it was entitled to greater attention than
anymthersubsequent 130ard, not so appointed; should that be
mentioned in the course of the present dittussion. `lllO Boerd
wet well formed ; it was composed of the late Oen. Oakes, Gen.
Drinkwater' Mr. ()lies Teropleman, and other respectrible per.,
sons in eiviland military offices. It had made avieral Reports,
particularly with regard to the Ordnance, to whielthe for the
present intended to confine himself. The Board of Ordnance
was originally constituted in the reign of Charles Xl, awl the
Comminioners in question had made seven Reports upon a Sys.
tern of mismanagement growing out of this appointatent. That
system had now been put,an end tie; bui!the Report to which
he now begged. the attention of alto Hous.e was the 13th.... The
Commissioners; in the commencement of their .Report,,stated
as an apology for its delay, that they had been anxious to col.
lect every information, and to make .the most minute inqtiirics
touching the.aubject upon which it treated; so ate the House
might be satisfied that this Report had been 'prepared with
every possible attention, and with as complete knowledge by
its authors of all the necessary facts. They first stated the
formation of the Board of Onlnance, which consisted of a
Muster.Genexal, ,idiuteriant-Odntral, Surveyor.Ucneral, a
Clerk, a Storekeeper, and a Clerk of Deliveries, in ail six per.
sons... To these different offices various duties were attach-
ed, and certain salaries were annexed to the performance
of therm, (if the duties he should speak afterwards ; but as
to the salaries, they had been considered by the t:knuiniesioners
to have been too mach increased. That of illaster.Cieneral
bad been increased front 1,6001. to 3,2351., that of Lieutenant.
General from 1,1001. to 1,5911., that. of Surveyor.OtnetalTrom

liveries, from 4(001: to 1,045/. The and, bad pro.
eeeded toetoirD'tne several individuals as to the duties :insets/
to these offices,. Some, it iipeartil, were no longer pertOrrned,
and it was a lactation with the Co' no whether this
ought to be suffered. The question applied particularly to
'the Surveyor and Storekeeper s °dices; indeed the latter Was
onsidered altogether as sinecure. „Then, as to the Clerk o.f.

-SOIEiIINIZATION OF MARRIA(U.
Thei3i,liop of CtlESTEß':adverted to a notice given last
Session of Parliament, to bring irr a Bill to amend the Act of
-George the Second, respecting the Soleinnization of Marriage..
The subject would,- probably, occupy the attention of the Com-
mittee sitting upon the Marriage Laws, .and in that case the
measure proposed by the Right Rev. Prelate would be unne-
cessary. The Bill it was his intention to introduce would
not interfere with the forms of Marriage, but make a re.
gelation- with respect to places where Marriage is to be so.
lemnlzed. • There were places of worship where marriage
could not be solemnized, and the object was to give facility
and publicity to ,marriage by permitting the solemnization in
Chapels of Lase. If the Cominittee to twitch the Right Rev.
Prelate .alluded considered the subject so as to make his nits.
sure unnecessary, it would aftbrd him satisfaction. In case it
did not accept. their attention -he should bring in the Bill.

precaution which ought to have been given to Surrogates, tta
that they granted licenses, in some cases, contrary to.the pio.
visions of the Act. Persons contracted marriage; ignorant.
of the irregularity, and this Bill was to legalize such mar.

LAW INTELLIG ENCE.

• COURT OF KING'S BENCH, rt.%
IiORSI .BREAXI)7O.--LIODAKD yenta at'XiEl..
Mr. UITRNEY stated, that this wits an action brought by a
horse-dealer against a Captain in the Army, for breaking in A
horse, for which he charged AL Ss.
*lames Saunders is foreman to the plaintiff, who carries on
business in Maryiebone-lane. Captain M‘Niel came to the
plaintiff's yard to ask him if he was in the habit of breaking
in horses. He asked hint to break in a charger, stating that
they could do nothing with him in the troop, lie was so shy and
stupid. He said he wanted him to be broke into harness ;
nessla master said he had no doubt he could, and his charge
would be five guineas. The Captain said he did pot mind the
money, and the horse was sent next morning; he was.put into
double harness on that day, and drove for a week, after that put
into single harness, and drove from November to February.
Liddanl, the younger son of the plaintiff, proved that his
father always charged-five guineas.
William Ryley, a horse-dealer, thought five guineas a fair
compensation.
Mr. ScAnr.r.vr, for defendant, said the plaintiff might
have called witnesses to prove that ten guineas was a Fair
compensation, but he should call witnesses to prove that two
guineas, which was tendered, was the usual charge. Ile should
moreover call witnesses to prove that this horse htut never been
properly brokertin.
A number or witnesses being called for the defendant.. by
the style and title of Captains and. Esquires, but none of
answering.
Mr.. SCARLETT observed, I tun sorry to find, my Mord,
that defendant's witnesses are not sufficiently broke
(A laugh.)
The LORD CHIEF JUST ICE directed a verdict for the pk..in.
titf—:.Damages 31. 3s. over and above the tentler.—Costs 40&

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ftn. 19.
(MM. sto u It v. TI111).
This was an action to recover compensation in damages for
Criminal eetwersation with the plaintirs wife.
Mr.. Serjeant VAUGHAN stated the case for the plaintiff,
which he called witnesses to support; , but one of them, the
brother of 3lrs. Seymour, having proved that the *huff co-
habited with his wife after he had ascertained the criminal
connection, his Lordship thought it a ease in which tLe
plaintiff could not, sae for damages, and ho Was accorilinely
nonsuited.- The eviderwe heard was, therefore, entirely
party, and we have nut thought proper to give it publicity.

The Duke of CLARENCE Came to town ye °r-
clay morning from Bushy, Park, his itoyhi
Highness returned in the evening.
Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with
the. Duke of WELLINGTON.

At the Old Bailey Sessioni this rooming Ben-
jamin Moore, a young man, was put to the l3i4r,
and indicted for violently assaulting Gen. Thomas
William Kerr, on the 7th instant, in King.street,
St. James's Square, about nine o'clock in the
evening. After the evidence had heen taken,
Mr. BARON GRAHAM summed up, and the Jury
found the prisoner Not GuittN,
London, England, 1823-06-27

covered that the castle was completely deserted, and 400 to
sOO prisoners of all descriptions were breaking out, anti would
in a quarter of an hour have effected their escape. The greater
part of a regiment of volunteers immediately ran thither; and
after some small resistance, secured every thing. The public
prison in the city, filled with upwards of 1,000 ruffians and ban-
ditti, was nearly in the same danger, but a timely reinforce-
ment secured that also.

" Yesterday it was found all the regular troops had followed
their companions, excepting one regiment, the 111th ; and only
militia and volunteers, and this single corps, left to preserve the
peace. In the evening however, this same regiment, on returning
from a field a little out of town, where they had been stationed
all day, struck offto the palace of Bembosta. in the suburbs, and
where the King was, drew up opposite the windows, and called
out, Viva El lieu Absolute. The King appeared, asked what
they wanted, and was answered by the same exclamation, as
did one of the Princesses, who spoke a few words, and met the
'Jame reception. She was immediately followed by the Mar.
quis tie Tancos, who gave the same viva, in which the King
and his two daughters joined, and having thus declared
themselves, withdrew. In a few minutes they retired to the
back of the Palace, entered their several carriages, which
were in readiness, and were joined by as many of the No-
bility as were at hand, and drove off for Villa Franca, and
were immediately followed by the regiment, We have just
now learnt that the Queen started from her Palace of Re-
walla°, in the neighbourhood of Cintra, much about the same
time, and quickly joined the Royal party. The Cortes still
assemble, but what are their proceedings we do not know, nor
is it of much importance, for until the return of the King and
his overpoweringparty, nothing whatever can be settled. We
may look for this, we presume, in the course of three or
four days, and in the mean while we apprehend no serious dis.
turbance. Of course no business is doing, and very few shops
are open, almost every man being on some sort of duty,
either as Militiaman, Volunteer, or National Guard ; and to-
day, by way of further security, the Custom House and India
House, and every Public Office are shut; but there appears no
disposition whatever to riot or plunder, and property we con-
sider perfectly safe. So far as we can judge, the result will be
some modification of the Constitution, granting a more free
representation, and greater weight to the Nobility and Clergy
in the Councils of the Nation, from which they have been al-
most entirely excluded, and the veto to the King, who hitherto
has been a mere passive instrument in the hands of the leaders
of the Cortes."

from the charge which hadbeen published. In his conclusion
the Learned Judge said, " Until these Associations are put
I down in the North of Ireland, and the anus taken from
their hands, it will be in vain to look for peace." He did not
consider that part of the charge at all reprehensible, more espe-
cially as Judge Fletcher was speaking of the North of Ireland,
where disturbances prevailed on the subject of illicit dis-
tillation. lie adverted to the letter of Mr. &Lunn, said to
have been found by a Catholic Priest Could the House of
Commons discuss such a document ? Ile regretted that any
Catholic Priest could have been guilty of so much dishonour
as not to return that letter to the owner. The use made of it
could only tend to produce a breach between Protestant and
Catholic. Mr. Saurin for fifteen years filled the office of
Attorney-General, and at the end of that time refused the
offer of a Peerage, and the rank of Lord Chief Justice. It
was not, however, his intention to enter into discussion on the
subject, as he could never properly become a party in con-
troversy on such a transaction. lie came to another charge
against Lord Norbury. The charge was a joke on the part
of that Learned Judge; and certainly it was not fair to
make a Judge suffer for a joke more than another man. Ad-
verting to observations made on the decisions made in Appeals
by Lord Manners, it was said his reversals were one in five.—
The fact was, out of 2,313 decrees, there had been 11 reversals.
He concluded by asking the House whether they could give
currency to these charges, which were intended to bring into
contempt the Protestant population of Ireland. Believing it
was to promote party purposes, he never would consent to
refer the Petition to a Committee on Courts of Justice.

Mr. BROUGHAM replied at considerable length. The ar-
guments against the petition hid not altered the impression
made on his mind by the petitioners. An Hon. Friend, speak-
ing of the Judges of Ireland, had described them as being ge-
nerally pure. The phrase generally pure was no eulogium. The
Bench of Judges should be perfect. Ile defended the peti-
tioners as the representatives of the Catholics whose cause
they zealously advocated. He asked the House to satisfy the
minds of six millions of the Irish population by going into in-
quiry whether justice had been fairly administered. Ile asked
that boon because it would produce a respite of danger, and
tranquilize the people at least until the next Session.
Mr. HUTCH INSON explained.

the office of Minister or War, who had all refused. His Ma-
jesty was desirous that the Cortes would permit three of their
Members to fill the offices :

Senhor J. M. Pinto F. Rangel to be Minister of War :—.Sen-
hoz Antonio .Marciano de Azevedo, of the Interior; and Senhor
F. tie Oliveira, Foreign Afiliirs. (He was interrupted by loud
acclamations.) The Minister then mentioned the corps that
had deserted, amounting to 2,760 men, and the treason of Ge-
neral Sepulveda, &c.
The Minister, having retired, the question was put, whether
the Cortes approved of the appointment of the three Members
to be Ministers, which was carried by acclamation.
The sittings were declared permanent.
A Deputation was sent to inform his Majesty, that the
Cortes had judged it necessary, in the present crisis, to decree
that deserters from the army should be punished in die same
manner as if the country were at war. The deputation,
on its return, stated, that, on its way to the Palace the public
had accompanied it with the loudest acclamations; that
the President of the Deputation having explained the urgent
reasons for passing this law, his Majesty replied he would
use, with respect to sanctioning the law, the power which
the Constitution gave him; that he was profoundly afflicted
at the desertion of the troops ; that he had given full proof of
his fidelity to theoath which he took on the memorable Ist of
October, and had the greatest confidence in the Cortes.
On returning from the Palace, the enthusiasm of the 10th
Regiment was so ardent that the Deputy S. Correa de Laccrda,
was induced to step forward, with the Constitution in his hand,
and to harangue the troops, after which lie delivered the Con-
stitution to the Colonel, saying he was confident that regiment
would defend it at all hazards.

SONNET.—TO Tint CUCKOO.
Lone Bird, I hear thy melancholy voice,
Amid the woods and thickets wandering;
For it delighted' thee when coming Spring
Puts forth the green leaf, and the flowers rejoice,
To herald forth the beauties of the year.
I know not why the monotones appear
Wild and unearthly; and the hollow sound
As it glows floating on the air around,
Seems horn and destined for another sphere :
But so it is ; and though to some thou'rt drear,
To me there is a measure in the tone
Of thy simplicity, which strikes my ear.
With solitary sweetness, never known
To them who wander not 'mid forests wild—alone !

[BRITISII PRESS.]

The Journal des Defeats of Sunday affects to
conclude the accounts of the insurrection in Lis-
bon, communicated on the Bourse of Paris on a
former day, by stating, under the head of ac-
counts from Lisbon to the 31st May, that the
Infant Don Michel had put himself in motion at
nine o'clock in the morning, with 30 horsemen
and 360 soldiers, and proclaimed, in the place
called 6i De Villa Franca," the abolition of the
Constitution, and had afterwards, this account
says, quitted the town, on the road of Santarem.
The royal rebel then wrote to his father, the
Constitutional King, the letter which will be
found in our columns. Villa Franca, it adds,
was illuminated on the evening of the 27th, and
several detachments, this account goes on to say,
deserted their posts. Now, there is no such
place or square in Lisbon as that of " De Villa
Franca." The town of this name, in Portuguese
Estremadura, lies on the north bank of the Tagus,
fifteen miles north-east of Lisbon; it is on the
road to Santarem, a town also of, the
same province, containing about eight thou-
sand inhabitants, near the river Tago, forty-five

'miles north-east of London. This same account
then proceeds with the information that General
Sepulveda, the author of the revolution of
Oporto, was charged with the defence of the
capital, but that, on the 29th, after publishing a
proclamation, in which he called on the people to
repose confidence in a man who never consulted
any thing but the good of his country ; Sepul-
veda, the first of the Portuguese patriots, quitted
the city, with all the troops he could lead with
him, and joined Don Michel. The whole of
this report in the French Ministerial Paper
we look on as destitute of any thing like authen-
ticity. Don Michel may have turned traitor to
the Constitution, but nothing is more unlikely
than that Sepulveda, distinguished by his early
patriotism and attachment to Portuguese liberty,
Would have seduced his troops from their alle.
giaece, and joined him. No conclusion to the
attempt is yet stated, and the great probability is
it ended like that of. the 7th July last in Madrid,
and failed. The French Papers contain nothing
beside whatever of any interest.
London, England, 1823-06-18

[NEW TI M ES.]

Private letters from Paris of Sunday night state
that the Ambassadors from the Courts of Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, had left Paris that morning
with their credentials, addressed to the Regency
at Madrid. These letters also communicate a
circumstance which may throw some light upon
the cause of the holders of Spanish Bonds
being so desirous of ridding themselves of
these securities, even at a reduction of four
or five per cent. It is affirmed, that a Loan
has been, or is about to be immediately con-
tracted, for the service of the Regency, the
French Government sanctioning the terms of the
Loan, if 'not guarantying the repayment of the
amount. The arrival of the Lisbon Mail, now
daily expected, is awaited with much anxiety ;
I and although little doubt is entertained as to the
events communicated by telegraphic dispatch to
Paris proving correct, yet the details of so im.
portant an occurrence must necessarily create in-
tense interest. It was reported yesterday on
'Change, that accounts had been received con=
firming the previous statements to the fullest ex-
tent; but we were unable to trace them to an
authentic source, nor do we believe any arrival
took place which could throw any light upon the
subject.

TIIE ARMY.

Yesterday morning, soon after five, the Royal Horse Guards,
Blue, left Knightsbridge. Barracks (which place they occupied
upwards of two years), and marched to lirindsor, in order
to relieve the Ist regiment of the Horse Guards. The lat-
ter arrived at the above Barracks soon after ten, from Windsor.
The Ist Royal Dragoons, commanded by Col. Clifton, were
yesterday, previous to their departure from Canterbury to Man-
chester, inspected by Lord Edward Somerset, who was pleased
to express great satisfaction at the discipline and general ap-
pearance of the troops. His Lordship afterwards dined with
the Officers of that Regiment.—The Isis and Hussar are or-
dered to be hastened out of port without any delay ; they
will therefore shortly go to Longreacit.—(Kentisli Gazette,
June 17.)

SHOCKING CASE OF MURDERe..—A man named
Carmichael, living at a house occupied by a man
named Hussey, in New-street, Cloth-fair, was
attacked by him on Monday morning, whilst in
bed, with a large smith's hammer, with which in-
strument he beat him over the skull till it was
frightfully wounded ; and not content with this,
he dragged him out of bed do-wn stairs into the
street, and was about to repeat his violence, when
the neighbours, who heard the unfortunate man's
cries, came to his assistance, and wrested the
hammer from the grasp of the murderer, who in-
stantly absconded. The poor fellow was taken
to the hospital, and died in the course of the
night of his wounds. What makes the deed
more revolting, the murderer and his victim were
cousins. Revenge is said to have been the cause
of the horrid deed.

The following, Gen tlemen were yesterday called
to the degree of Barrister-at-law, by the Honourable Society of
Lincoln's Inn : —Thomas Guy Prendergast, Esq., Gee. Sim-
ian), Esq., Edward Vaughan Williams, Esq. Ralph Doughty,
