YRSTERDAV a Nleeting was In at tiO
Tavern, of the Subscribets to the I'Tew Establish
merit for Brewing Genuine Malt Lignor, Mr.
HALL', in the Chair: The Chairm'in opencd chit
business in a neat speech, and the Assembly con.
sisted of upwards of three hundred Subscribers..
The Resolutions being read, several verbal alcera.
tions were proposed; after which the Rest):talons
were unanimously agreed to. , The opinions of two
eminent Lawyers were then read, which gave *very,
necessary satisfattion to the Meeting, as being de-
cided and unequivocal in the legality :Ind justice of
the intended Institution, We tvb.ver saw, so large
an assemblage where so much order, decortn, and
propriety prevailed; every Gentlernan oared hi.t.
opinion without interruption, and every article or
the Rules and Regulations were di,,cussed with
temper, and altered or approved according to the
unanimous voice of the Subscribers. It appeared
from the Statements 'made, that the sum of money
subscribed, and the Subscriptions of which notice
his.: been given, exceeds so.oool. Such was the
impression made by the disclosure of the Plan on
MIMI this Establishment is to be carried on, that
the Subscribers took additional Shares to a corn&
derable amount. :Planks were then returned to the
Chairman; Atli! every person present retired, tho..
roughly coOvirio that an Institution Which has
prospered so mueb in the course of abut five weeks,
must be eminently successful in .the •reault. Indeed,
the harmeny that prevailed among the parties-,,
augers, to a certainty, that the Plan cannot fail of
answering the most sanguine, expectations of "tL-.!
Subscribers and the Public, who are also materially
Interested' in the undertaking. •

-ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

LAST Sunday a Chitity Sermon was preached at
St. 'Margaret's Church, Linfibury, by the Rev.
JOHN OWEN, M.A. and a Cofledion made in be.
half of this beneficent and National Institution. The
text was taken froM the to3J Psalm, ver. 4. Who
saweth thy 10 from dettrualion. On this he argued,
that none had a right to throw-away that life, which
none but God, himself could give ; that nature her.
.self proclaimed the truth of this, as many, from hay.
ing lived dissolute and infamous lives, being hurried
away by the recolle6tion of their crimes, and being
about to precipitate themselves into that eternity,
from which there is no redemprion, just as the pre.
aious jewel is about to fall (tons the casket, the soul
itself, recoiling at the dread abyss, has enabled them
to dedicate themselves to that God, whose laws they
were impiously about to break through, and to be.
come good subjects in that society they were about
to quit, and still mute, to diffuse happiness through
that family to which they mote immediately belong.
ed. In another part of his discourse, he observed,
that the advantage to be derived from this Society.
had spread itself from Pole to Pole ; that even
now the tawny Indian beyond the Atlantic,
and the swarthy African, were feeling its in-
fluence, through- the advice and apparatus trans.
mined to them by .the Humane Society ; that on
Tuesday se'nnight no less than thirteen persoes
had been restored to their friends and to the Na.
tion ; 'that in 'the course of thirty years, since the
establishment of this Institution, and in the limited
extent •of population in which it had existence,
near votipersons lead been re.callcd to a second life;
that he could'point out a Gentleman of the Faculty
who was present in church, and who had received
distinguished marks of favour from the Society, for
having brought to life two still-born infants, who
may one day be an ornament to the Nation, and
who now area living comfort to the otherwise
wretched mother. He. closed his discourse with a
pathetic address to his fellow.citizeos,
,to contd.
bute their aid to the support of such a laudable In.
stitution. •

SrGA 41 .

A very ingrniotit 'systern 't4 Signals,- the Author
of which we understand to lip: a Gentleman of the
name of GoontOiv, has been tried in the Ttxel
Fleet, by command of the 1..,1%itt Commissioners of
the Admiralty. 'rom the reports of Admiral Rus.
SELL, and the Captains of the Ships to which the ex.
peritnents were tried, it is evident that they are an
important acquisition to the Service. •

It appears that the same number of Flags arc em;
ployed in the new as in the ohi system ; but, where
the old system, with twO Flags, produces no inure
than 99 Signals, the new system produces upwards
of Soo Signals; and where the old system, with
three Flags, produces no more than 999 Signals, the
new system produces upWards of io,ooo Signals.
The arrangement of these Signals is .so ingenious.
ly contrived as to comprise the whole of the esta.
blished code under two. Flags, while the system
admits of a general conversation being kept
.up, on
any subjeet, with the same facility as the concerted
intelligence of the established Code is transmitted
by the Signals now in use. The advantages of this
systeti are the more striking and valuable, as it is
applicable to every purpose where Telegraphs have
hitherto been applied, and as it transmits its intelli.
genet with considerably greater economy, certainty,
and celerity. We have been informed, that the Au.
thor (4, these Signals has a system of night Signals
equally ingenious, simple, and comprehensives.

C'.:ll7al' OF KING's NTIW.-24

THE KING 1./. WM. HAY, RsQ.
The Defendant was Ltrought up to receive judg.
ment upon a Convidiun for an Alsault upon Thomas
Kerr, , •
_ _

The report (Idle Learned Judge who tried the in_
d]4inent stated, that the parties resided at Alnwick;
that, op the day the assault was committed, the Pro.
secutor was riding along the road to Alnwick, ac.
CoMpanied by a Miss itenwick, when he perceived
the Dofendant at a short distance befoie him. Upon
hif corning up with him, the Defendant. drew his
horse.acrosi the road, and stopping the Prosecutor,
told him he had been long watching an opportunity
of seing him. Ho then demanded of the Prosecutor,
whether he was the author of the letters his wife
had written, and at the same time used menacing
language • The Prosecutor` said' he. behaved like a
blackguard ; upon which the Defendant called him,
a cowardly scoundrel, told him he wanted to shel.,
ter himself under his- wife's petticoat, hod struck
him with his 'Walking stick. The Prosecutor en..
deavonred to pull him off his horse, and, in order
to effeft his purpose, threw a stone at the animal's
head. Just then the Prosecutor's passion subsided,
and. he desisted, fearful of hurting the Defendant ;
besides, he refleded that he could get no credit by
beating a man who was upwards of 70. The De.,
fendant rode. after him,calling him blackguard names,
which he retorted. Upon this evidence the Dc.
fendant had,been found gitilty.
•Lortj-EtteNaoßoucts recommended the parties
'to go before the Master.
Mr. RATNE observed, that the Defendant had
offered. to do so-a long time ago ; but as the propo.
sition bad been declined, he begged his Affidavits'
might be read.
The Affidavits on behalf of the Defendant disclosed
a very tedicius'bistory of family disputes between
the parties, the foundation of which seemed to be,
that the Prosecutor, .who was a Solicitor, having
made a very important mistake in. the Marriage
Settlement of the Defendant's eldest daughter, he
declined consultihg him upon the marriage of the
second. This produced irritation on both sides, ,
'which "terminated - in the assault committed by the
Defendant. .

Mr. RAINE addressed the Court on the part of
the Defendant, palliating his conduct by the provo.
cations he had received, and expressing hi, hope
that the Court. would not thiok any atonement due
to the Prosecutor, and that the judgment for the
offence against the public peace would be as leni.
ent as pntsible.
Mr. Serjeant COCKELL considered that the great
age of the Defendant aggravated his condua, as he
had lived long enough to have known better.
Mr. justice GKOIE, after some apprOpriate re.
marks on 'the impropriety of the'Defendant's be.
haviour, sentenced him to pay a fine ortwenty
pounds.
The fine was paid immediately.

market .

Mr. Justice Gears remarked, that the conduA of
the Defendant did not merit that lenity which had
been shown to the other Defendants. He had aggra.
vated his ofrence in having unnecessarily interfered'
in a matter which did 'not concettf him, and there
was but too much reason for believing this was not
the first occasion on which he had so imprnpsrly
conduced himself. The sentence of the Court Was,
that he should pay a fine of tool.
The Defendant paid the fine.

Mr. ERSKLNE stated, that he was raw in posses.
sion of a sufficient affidavit in, the case in which he
bad, on a former day, moved for a criminal info'r.
matron against the Rev. Mr. H. for a libel on Mr.

Lord. ELLIINIVIROCIGEI said, he um not recollea
any case where, after an information had been moved
for, and the subjea fully heard, the party was
allowed to make a second, application, by amending
hitoffidavit, upon an intimation from.the Court. if
such a principle was adopted, every motion that did
nnt, succeed would be brought forward upon an
amended affila v it, He advised the party to go before

Rule would create '.O impression to his disadvantage.

Tat encampment which took place on Th:irs..
day at the Currdgh, in consequence cf the judici-
ous arrangement made by our active, vigilant, awl
judicious Cominander in Chicf, Lord CaracisitT,
was carried into erred with htlCll prompt and simul.
taneous movements as to do him infinite cr“lit,.and
greatly. surprised those who are acquainted with
military exactitude..
•The can consists at present of t 5,000 men, Re-
gulars, Militia, Artillery, and the British it,re
Artillery, together with a vast number of the Corn*
missariat and D; ivers Corps.
The line commences at the boundary of the
Cutragh, at the right of the Stan.' House, and
nearly parallel with it, con,isting of several Regi..
mcnts of Intantry, both of the Line and Militia..
At a short distance on the left, and below the

Stand House, is a very fine Battalion of Infantry.
Further again on • the left is an -encampment of the
Commissariat apartment, stretching to a consider- •
able extent, with abundant stores of hay, straw,
oats, turf, and every supply necessary. to their silt'.
ation ; and on the left of the whole, adjoining Mr.
Bowes DALY'S Lodge, are encamped the following
Cavalry Regiments, under the command of General
DuttNE, viz. The Queen's Bays, theAzth and 17th
Diagoons, also a large Detachment of the Briush
Horse Artillery.
In the disposition of thoe different bodies not
the minutest confusion or dday took place. At the
hour of twelve o'clock precisely the Troops march.
ed into the Curragh in various direttions, in seven
Brigades, each Brigade• headed by its respettive
Brigadier General. J....bout:one o'clock the entire
line, in the above described order, was firmed, and
camp equipage delivered to each regiment, when -
the long.roll.was beat from the centre of the right
and left of the line, after which, in about five
minutes, a camp was erected extending in length
some Miles. .

• The deledable state of the weather, the novelty.
the grandeur, the proud and inspiring nature of the
scene, cluld not prevent a certain ucgree of gloom,
from the genera) and sincere sympathy felf.lcir the
Commander in Chief, • who had received. by express
the affliding intelligence of his eldest.sans, (C:plain
CATUC Ak T, of the Navy) death, who was suddenly,
on the farruica station, carried off by the yellow
fever.

General FLoYD is to command the Camp; Lord
CATHCART will be between Dublin and the Nine.
teen.mik house.

The encampment is so contrived as not to inter.
fere in any manner with the r ground.
With great pleasure we announce, by accounts
from all parts of the surrounding country, the pro.
aped of a most abund,thr harvest. A few days
since, in the vicinity of Limerick, some fine bar.
ley was cut, down, acd in the course of a lottnight
it was expetied new wheat would make its appear.

the.flotir—frvin this situation lie, lio‘Vtver, re-

rived.

Mr. EGAN, for the Defendant, rested his Client's'
defence in roicig•ttion of damages; or rather fora
verdict in hi4lfavour, on the fight and trivial con-.
sideration which the Plaintiff held an alledged:
injury-of this dectiption while soliciting a recurs_
Ciliation with •his wife, after indubitable proofs' of.
her guilt. To prove ibis fact an extraordinary ex-
pedie"nt was resorted to, which was the 'testimony:
of the Lady's father, a respe6table looking man,
the "agiration of whose feelings excited Much sym-,
paths and c He did depose to overtures
of reconciliation made by the Plaintiff to his wife
after her elopement, to which she reftrtied to accede..
On crosS.exarnination by Mr. CuttRAN, it appeared.
that this.Witne:ss was compelled io give testimony,
and was never mote shocked, than at an order io do
. He attribuied his daughter's refusal to cohabit
with her husband again to an infatuated attachment
she had for the Defendant ; before her acquaintance
with him she preserved that estimable reputation in
life 'a:lich might be supposed to qesult front- the
practice of those .principles of virtue and decorum
in which he-had carefully educated her: The offer,
of reaoneifiation Which the Plaintiff had made to
his wife, Witne,s ascribed to hi's unbounded afrec-.
tion for her, and not--to any culpable indiffeience as
to her misconduct. When he -first knew:Of her
elopement, the agony of his mind drove him to a,
state little short of absolute distraCtion.

A Witness was adduced to prove the poverty of
the Defendant, and his consequent inability to pay.
more ;lan nominal damages. Ti.is principle, Mr.
CURRAN, in speaking to evidence, combated with
success. He laid it d9wn as a principle of law
evinced in a variety of cases, that if a delinquent
of this class cannot pay exemplary damages from his
purse, he Must from his person.

AVONMORB, in summing up,the evidence,
concurred in this principle, inveighing with parti-
cular energy and .elocution against the baseness of
this species of criminality, of Al others. that. in
which the dissoluti: n of the dearest ties of sccitty
stems involved, ,and marked by the 'Deity himself
in the Decalogue with peculiar reprobation. The
Jury retired, and after an hour's conference came
.out with a notice to the Court, that they were not
likely to agree, on which his Lordship adjourned
until eight o'clock, with further intimation, that if
they did not return a verdict at that time, they
must necessarily remain confined until Tuesday next,
asxiVl,,nday would be an holiday. The Court re-.
surned at the hour appointed, when the Jury brought
din
a vettlid for the Plaintiff-20001. damages, with.
6J. ccsts.—Adjourned.

on the borders of the Nizarn's country, in
order to proceed against ScINDIAH himself,
who is encamped with his army.in the Tapley, near
Muzzelponr. The British Army now united amounts
to about 16,0c0 men, Infantry and Cavalry.
We may therefore soon expea: to hear of a gene;
ral engagement between them. Orders have been
sent to our contingent forces with the Guykar, in
the Guzurat,,to proceed against Broach and the Po.
gunnahs, belonging to him in that province ; a can-
siderable force must hatie marched by this time from
the Bengal Provinces into the Rajah of BERAR'S

ters.

great reason to hope,. that ere this our port would

wonted vigour : this, however, is not the case.

should not oppose it. With regard to the sug.
gestion of- his Honourable Friend, of, altering his
Motion, he had no objection whateiref JO it; in:
deed he had at first an intention of bringing it for-
ward in the shape of a syllogism, and to have moved,
ist, That the 23th of the King had enated that no
Petition could he received, in„ which the Petitioners
did not state that they had a right to vote at the
:Eledion ; zdly, That the Petition in question con-
tained no such allegation ; and 3dly, That the order
.for hearing the said Petition should be discharged.
He was very willing to shape his Motion so now,
Mr. ADDINGTON said, across the Table, that
he could not withdraw his present Mb`tibri 'without
leave of the House.
•-• • Mr. Fox said, he was perfedly aware' Of that,
but he thought that Gentlemen would have' wished
to come boldly and manfully to the decision 'oithis
question. He knew very well that many'People
would have no objection to decide upon the conch_
:ion of a syllogism, who would be very glad to
avoid a decision upon its other component parts, and
this was, he believed, called the royal road to a
decision. It had been said, one of the Ptolemies
applied to Euclid, to teach him mathematics by a
very short process and without labour, but Euclid
informed him that their was no royal road to mathe-
matics. Upon all these grounds, he should persist
in his motion.

DUIiLIN, Nor.
i 3.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH P.VJEA. ha, just
taken a very strong, and; we trusti a very efficient
measure to promote tle!.colleaion of the Revenue
in Dublin. Yesterday misfiling almost all the.
Excise Officers of the Dublin Distria, in number
nearly two hundred, were put nut of charge, and
their places immediately supplied by other Excise
Officers previously ordered up from the different
County Distrias of Ireland. So suddenly was
this change effetled, that excepting the Beard of
Commissioners, and one highly confidential Officer
under them, no one had the least idea of such- a
thing being intended. It is supposed. that the close
intimacy of the Dublin Officers with distillers,
monsters, ant other minutanuters of excisable
goods, preventing them from looking too stria& to
the interests of the Revenue, was the cause of this
great change of situations.
