CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 7.

The Duke and Duchess of St. ALBANS take excursions
daily when the weather permits. On Monday their
Graces, accompanied by Lady BEAUCLERK and family, the
Master of the Ceremonies, and a select party, visited Mr.
and Mrs. IGGuLnEN, at their estate, two miles from town.
The host and hostess conducted the Duke and Duchess
over their grounds, and tw the great natural curiosity, the
Glen Fall, with which the distinguished party appeared
highly delighted, and afterwards partook of a collation.
There was a ball last evening at the Montpellier Ro-
tunda, which was so numerously attended that a quadrille
set was formed in the Promenade room, upwards of four
hundred being present. The side rooms adjoining the
Rotunda were fitted up as conservatories, with Indian.
rubber trees at the entrances, and were illuminated with
large Chinese lamps. The Master of the Ceremonies gave
the signal for dancing soon after 9 o'clock, and the band
struck up a quadrille. Dancing continued with great
spirit till half-past eleven o'clock, when the evening's en-
tertainment concluded by the band playing ' God save the
King.'

MONTHLY MEETING AT CANTERBURY.

THE LATE " OUTRAGEOUS" AFFAIR.

At a meeting of the Migistrates of the city of Canter-
bury, at the Guildhall, on Thursday last, the following
case of assault arising out of his Grace the Archbishop's
late arrival was disposed of.

EDW. BENNETT V. JA9. BUTHOIT, ORTON BEARD, HENRY

BEARD, AND WI.I. FISK.

Mr. DELASAU X, of Canterbury, attended on the part
of the complainant; S. WELLS, Esq. as barrister, (who
was specially retained), and Mr. F. E. Cts ELL, as solicitor,
of Canterbury, and 10, Clement's Inn, London, appeared
for the defenuants.
On the case being called on for hearing, Mr. WELLS. in
a most manly and palhetie speech, appealed to the feelings
of Alderman Giwtan, who wa., then present on the bench,
as to whether he ought not to give up that right (if any
he had), ai the wort, y Alderman had been summoned to
attend the case as a witness, independent of the delicate
situation he was placed in, and any onus that might rest
on the worthy Alderman, as to the origin of the tran-
saction. _ . .

Alterman COWTAN replied, that he intended to take part
in the proceedings as a magistrate, although he had been
summoned as a witness.

Mr. DELASAUX applied to the Court for the case to
stand over, and that the defendants be bound to the Ses-
sions to answer the charge, on the ground that the assault
complained of was of an aggravated nature, and did not
come within the statute of George IV., to enable the Ma-
gistrates to decide; which was strenuously opposed, when,
after a consultation, the Mayor said the case must come
on, to ascertain the nature of the assault complained of.
Edward Bennett said—l am a brewer ;on the 7th of
August I was in the High street; I saw James Duthoit
there about the time the carriage of the Archbishop
stopped ; I heard several persons hiss and hoot ; James
Duthuit did ; I told him that a respectable person like him
ought nut to do it ; I was in the crowd ; I was struck three
times ; the last time I saw Duthoit's hand going back from
my head; I was struck by Horton Beard ; I struck him
again ; this was in High-street.
Cross-examined by Mr. NVEhts—l was in the High-
street, a crowd was pressing on me, I was struck three
times before I saw who struck me, when I saw Duthoit's
hand going from my head ; it was about 7 o'clock ; after I
was assaulted I went home; I will not swear that no one
reminded me of the assault the next morning and wished
me to go on with it; Tyson is one of my witnesses; I
applied for the warrants on the Thursday ; I had consulted
no lawyer at that time ; some one did advise me to
prefer this charge. I had a stick in my hand ; Tyson had
likewise a stick; I might use my stick in self defence.
Duthuit bad ❑o stick. There was a general row. After
the carriage left the Guildhall I was struck by the two
Beards and Fisk ; there was a great crowd; I will not
swear that there was not a general row ; I used my stick at
one time ; I fell underneath the lead horses of his Grace's
carriage while in waiting ; I received no wounds or
bruises; I did not apply for medical advice.
Mr. DELASAUX again addressed the Bench, for the
parties to be bound over, on the evidence of the prose-
cutor, to the Sessions.
Mr. WELne said, the case as it stood was 83 trivial, so
trifling, and the law so clearly giving the Magistrates
the power of hearing and deciding, that the whole of the
case fully came under their jurisdiction.
The Bench directed Mr. Delasaux to proceed if he had
further evidence to adduce.
Staines Tyson was called to corroborate the evidence of
Bennett.

Cross-examined by Mr. WELLS_I am an ironmonger ;
went down with a party of ladies from my house to the
Guildhall previous to the arrival of his Grace; returned
home immediately; bad a stick in my hand when I went
with the ladies; I will not swear how long I remained at
home ; will not swear whether it was a minute or an
hour,—(the witness was strictly cross-examined on this
point, but refused to answer the question,),--I went out
again, I took the stick with me ; I cannot say whether I
struck any one; I do not know Harrison ; I had
no conversation with Harrison about taking a
stick with me ; I did not see Harrison on the after-
noon of the 7th August; I do not know Harrison,—(on
the witness being strictly pressed he said be knew
several Harrisons, but no one particularly,)—be did
not know T heophil us Harrison,—(Mr. Tbeophilus Harri-
son here was called for, when he came forward witness
admitted he knew him),—would not swear that he did
not see Harrison on the afternoon in question ; would
not swear that he did not have any conversation with
him, nor that he was not in Harrison's shop in the af-
ternoon ; I do not know a man named Beale, did not
have any conversation with
.him, did not give him any-
thing to drink on the evening of the 7th. (Beale was
here ordered to stand forward.) On the cross-examina-
tion of witness being strictly continued as to seeing
Beak, having struck Beale in the crowd, drinking with
him, and other questions,eusitehde
tg o answer reatestprtehveargiucaetsitoionnsre
l -pre-
vailed,ative thereto.
taenredhe finally refused
John F. Bennett, brother to the prosecutor, saw Hor-
ton Beard strike his brother; he was struck once on
the side of the head and once on the shoulder.
Cross-examined by Mr. WELLS.—Tyson and the prose-

cutor had sticks ; defendants had none; I will not swear
whether prosecutor or Tyson struck with their sticks ;
prosecutor had no bruises or medical advice.
Henry Warren (son of Ald. Warren) said, on the day
in question I was in front of the Guildhall ; I saw Edward
Bennett trying to keep back the crowd; I saw him struck
by Horton Beard.
Cross-examined—About a month ago a friend of mine
and I had same words with Horton Beard. On the 7th
of August I saw a sailor and a girl coming along the
street ; they were quiet ; I am Aid. Cowtan go up to
him ; heard Mi. Miller say " this man has as much right
in the road as you have ;" he addressed himself to Ald.
Cowtan ; the sailor was proceeding quietly up the street
until he was stopped by Ald. Cowtan ; the crowd was
eery peaceable ; but on the sailor being taken into cus-
tody the crowd hooted Ald. Cowtan.
F.l F. Tittle= (clerk to Mr. Sandys, the solicitor for
the p rosecution in the other cases against individuals for
assauts committed on the occasion)—saw Fisk strike Ben-
nett, and prevented a repetition of the blow ; it appeared
to be a mere spree in the crowd.
Mr. WELLS declined to ask witticss any questions ; his
testimony went to show there was no !jot.
The Learned Gentleman the❑ proceeded to address the

;,Itch. He s;id the evidence produced was of so trifling
a nature, that they were folly justified in coming to a de-
cision ; the questions la! had put to Alderman Cowtan re-
lative to the proceedings of the 7th of August were not
out of any disrespect to the worthy Alderman, but solely
from the love of justice, and the duty he owed his clients.
The Learned Gentleman then adverted to Alderman Cow-
tan sitting on the Bench, when a case was brought for-
ward in which he bore so conpicuous a part. He trusted
that all party feeling would be discharged; and while he
deeply deplored the event that had taken place, and ad-
mitted an assault had been proved, nevertheless it was a
case of common assault, unconnected with any aggravated
circumstances that tended to take it out of the stative,
and, therefore, that the Magistrates were not hound to
send the case to the Ses,ions, but had the power of summa-
rily dismissing it. The Learned Gentleman adverted to
the evidence generally, and remarked that the evidence of
Tyson was of so prevaricating a nature, and his conduct as a
witness so infamous, that he regretted to observe he (Tyson)
must leave that Court with a most serious imputation on

his general testimony, amounting to perjury ; then as to
Warren's evidence—that witness acknowledged the crowd
was peaceable until Mr. Cowtan took the sailor into cus-
tody, and then they began to hiss and hoot him, whence
began the assault complained of. Tarleton acknowledged
it was a spree i❑ the crowd and nothing more. The
Learned Gentleman then concluded a most excellent ad-
dress, declining to call witr.esses, on the ground that the
assault was of so trifling a nature he would not take up
the time of the Court.

The Court was then cleared of persons, but in a short
time they were re admitted ; when the Mayor (John
Brent, Esq.) addressed the defendants, stating that himself
and Alderman Henry Cooper had considered the case, and
fined the defendants 5/. jointly.
The Court was crowded by most of the respectable citi-
zens, and upon the decision being announced universal sa-
tisfaction was expressed by loud and continued plaudits.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

HORRIBLE CASE OF SEDUCTION BY A FEMA LE•
A delicate and handsome young girl, about 15, wad
brought up by a policeman under the following distressing
circumstances:—

The policeman said he saw her running away, in great
distress, from an old woman, nutlet' Eliza Cocks, then in
custody. Cocks was swearing vengeance against her, and
he stopped them both, when the young female told a most
piti able tale, which he would leave her to narrate. The
poor thing, whose simplicity of manners attracted much
attention, said that her parents resided at Norwich, which
place she left a few weeks since, on a visit to her aunt, at
Hackney. On Monday last she left home with her cousin,
and they went to an exhibition at the Rotunda, in Black-
friars-road. On leaving that place they were accosted by
a woman, named Davis, who had with her a young girl
very elegantly dressed, and Mrs. Davis asked her where
she was going ? She said she was going home to Hank-
ney, upon which the well-dressed girl with Mrs. Davis
called her aside, and said, " dont go home to Hackney ;

it ie a long way--this lady (Mrs. Davis) is a most motherly
woman, and keeps a respectable establishment. She
keeps several young girls, and clothes and feeds them well
without any hard work." Mrs. Davis herself then
joined in the conversation, and said to her "if you
will leave your companion, I will promise you an
excellent apartment, plenty of fine clothes, and a
capital situation." Upon these promises she was in-
duced to give her cousin " the slip," and accompany
Mrs. Davis to a house, which she subsequently found to
be a brothel, in Eagle-court. On the same night a man,
who had the appearance of a journeyman butcher, was
introduced to her bed-room, and violence was perpetrated
upon her, but she should not know the man again if she
saw him. After remaining there for four nights, during
which time several "gentlemen" were shown to her bed-
room
by Mrs. Davis, from which she herself was not suf.
fered to depart for a single moment, she became so dis-
gusted with her situation that she ran down stairs almost
naked into the street, pursued by the old woman before
his Worship, and who now charged her with stealing a
half-crown. In the pursuit the old woman struck her,
and she claimed the protection of the police.
The MAGISTRATE, upon this statement, sent for Mrs.
Davis, who, with the most perfect effrontery, admitted all
the facts above stated, and said she presumed the Magis-
trate had no jurisdiction in the case.
The MAGISTRATE admitted that he had not, but said
that a more infamous woman never lived, and he only
lamented that he had no immediate power to punish
her. He would take care, however, that her house
should be indicted, and meanwhile he should fine the old
harridan, Elizabeth Cock., forty shillings.
Mrs. Cocks had not forty shillings, and was in default
committed fur two months to the House of Correction.—
The girl was in the mean time ordered to remain in the
custody of Silmon, the officer, until she can be sent
down to her friends at Norwich.

Mr. GODWIN, a gentleman connected with the
Morning Chronicle as a reporter, returned home on
Friday afternoon to his lodgings in perfect health; he was
shortly after seized with violent spasms and cramp, medical
assistance was instantly called in, and every means resorted
to, but without effect. At seven on Saturday morning he
expired. Mr. Gonwns; was the son of the author of
Caleb Williams, and the brother of Mrs. SHELLEY, and
possessed, as a writer, much of the literary power of his
family. His Essays on the Periodicals, to which he con-
tributed, were marked by more than ordinary liveliness
and good tact, and showed at the same time an extent of
observation much beyond what could have been expected
from his years and experience. As a son he was tenderly
attentive and respectful to his distinguished parent; and
as a companion he must he long regretted by a large
circle of acquaintance, to whom his invariable candour and
command of temper, united with much general informa-
tion, rendered his society peculiarly acceptable. Mr.
Gonwtx was in his 29th year, of robust constitution,
and the most regular habits. Adhering, by choice, to
that rational temperance which has been pronouced an
infallible preservative from the epidemic, he offers a melan-
choly exception to the rule, as he could call to mind no
exceen which would have predisposed him to the disease.

LISBON AND GERMAN PAPERS.

(RECEIVED THIS MORNING),

LISBON.

(From the Gazeta de Lisboa, from 20 to 25 Aug.)
LISBON, AUGUST 20.—The official part contains seve-
ral lists of persons in different parts of the kingdom, who
have given contributions in corn for the use of the army.
The non-official part contains extracts from letters from
different places :
ST. PALO )10I.LEDO, JULY 28.—Now that the
post from Lisbon has arrived, by which all know that the
communication is open, I do not lose a momeilt in in-
forming you that the whole of the province of Minho is
unanimous in declaring its fidelity and enthusiastic attach-
ment to the sacred person of our adored monarch D
Miguel 1., and that all have, with the greatest zeal, offered
their personal services, provisions, &c. to put down that
band of robbers and criminals who are masters only of
the spot of ground which they occupy in great force.
Every thing valuab!e on the coasts of this part of the
country has been removed out of the reach of those pirates
The most distinguished and wealthy families of the
banks of the Rio Minho and Lima have retired into the
interior. Great praise is due to the Governor of the for-
tress of Insoa for his care in securing the mouth of the

......
COIMBRA, AUG. 13.—Besides the 38 deserters from
the rebels who passed through this place last week, there
arrived yesterday and to-day 248 with six prisoners.
Among them is a Captain of the 12th Regiment of Caca-
dores and a law student (a native of Beja), well known
here for his bad conduct.
OLIVEIRA DE AZEMEIS, AUG. 12.—1 t is known for
certain, that in the action of the 7th at Sonto Redonda,
Schuback, Commander of the Cacadores, was wounded,
and that above 30 carts with wounded entered Oporto,
which greatly discouraged the rebels.
AUG. 14.—The day before yesterday there arrived
here some Cacadores, and yesterday the Royalist volun-
teers of Castro Dairo, and the infantry 7th and 13th, and
to-day 37 waggons with powder and ball. A courier has
just passed through here with the news that the rebels
have issued proclamations, by which all persons who de-
sire to leave the city are to do so by noon this day, the
city being declared in a state of siege.
COIMBRA, AUG 15.—The rebels are reduced to the
greatest extremities ; they are confined to the city, and
our advanced posts on that side are at Agua Ardiente,
which is a quarter (Bairn)) of the city. The rebels have
consequently declared themselves besieged. Perfect tran.
quillity and the greatest enthusiasm continue in ars city.
PENA rm., AUG. 11.—Ten soldiers and a sergeant, with
all their arms and accoutrements, have come over to-
day from the rebels. Our advanced posts have reached
Opor to.
GUIMARAES, AUG. 14.—This district remains tran-
quil, and the inhabitants entirely devoted to the cause of his
M .jesty Don Miguel I. News having been received at
half-past ten at night that General Povoas had defeated
the rebels, the inhabitants immediately illuminated their
houses, and crowds of both sexes repaired to the doors of
the churches to thank Heaven for this triumph.
BEMEoSTA., AUG. 14 —The battalion of Cicadores,
No. 8, passed through on the 12th, and yesterday the rest of
the brigade, excellent troops, and full of enthusiasm in his
Majesty's cause. We learn by accounts from Oporto,
which are worthy of credit, that the rebels have imposed
on that city a contribution of three millons, to be paid
within three days, and that this measure highly displeased
the rebels of Oporto.
Letters from Algarve of the 14th state that perfect
tranquillity prevailed in that kingdom, and that the inha-
bitants were enthusiastic in the cause of the King our so-
vereign.
Ana. 21.—A despatch from General Santa Martha,
dated head quarters, Baltar, Aug. 16, addressed to the
Conde de Barbacetia, states that nothing worth relating
had occurred since his preceding communication ; that he
learned from Oporto that the rebel troops had latterly been
confined to their quarters in the city, the duty of the ad-
vanced posts and patrols being done, till the evening before,
by the volunteers of Oporto, and since by the English and
French, the other corps not being employed in this service
for fear of desertion. The General adds that several wag-
gons, with corn and flour intended for Oporto, had been
captured, and applied to the use of his Majesty's army.
Auc. 22d, 231, and 24th. —The official part of the

Gazette of these dates, contains no communications from
the army, only notice of contributions of corn, offers of
st.rvice, &c.
LisaoN, Auc. 23.—8 y the last posts we have received
the following communications :
" Yesterday, when the courier came for the letters of
the 24 division, the head-quarters were at Grijo; and to-
day we learn, by the servant of a certain family who have
fled hither from that city, that the head-quarters are at Car-
valhos, and that the rebels, who were at Villa Nova, had
retreated to the city ; that the people were busy pulling

down an entrenchment which they had erected in Santo
Avidioc Monte Grande, and that it was known in the city
that the advanced guard of the 4th division was at Aguar-
diente and Catvalhido."

Another letter of the highest authenticity from Villa

Feint, of the 19th instant, says At 2 o'clock this
morning the brigade, consisting of the 13th and 7th regi-
ments of infintry, and the Rcyalist volunteers of Cistru
Dairo, marched from the Monte do Gistello of this city ;

and the brigade which was at Sonto Redondo is at Grijo.
This morning three deserters from the rebels arrived, who
say that their companions in Oporto were in the greatest
confusion and disorder, as well as the inhabitants of that
city."

AUG. 25.—(Official.)—On the 20th the troops of the
King, our Sovereign, made a reconnoissance in force to-
wards Oporto, and the rebels did not venture to come out
of the city to oppose them.
By the mails of this week, on the 20th, 22d, and 24th,
the local authorities of all the cities, towns, and divisions
of the kingdom announce, that in the districts of their
province the inhabitants continue to be animated with the
most loyal sentiments and attachment to the King and the
independence of the nation. Uninterrupted tranquillity
everywhere prevails.
Accounts received to-day from Golega announce that
415 soldiers, deserters from the rebels, had arrived there.

Directions hive been given to the Cardinal Patriarch,
by his Majesty's command, to cause public prayers to be
cffered up in all the parish churches of his patriarchate,
and in the monasteries under his jurisdiction, to deprecate
the wrath of heaven in consequence of the scandalous ex-
cesses and profanations committed by the rebels in the
churches of Oporto, and other places in the vicinity.
LISBON, AuG. 24.—A letter from Bemposta, of the

17th, says " we learn from persons worthy of credit, that
the rebels are in the greatest distress, and at variance
among themselves ; we hope that we shall soon have to an-
nounce their complete destruction."
A letter from Penafiel, of the 18th August, says
" General Viscount do Pezo da Regoa arrived the day be-
fore yesterday at I3altar, and went to-day to Ricarein,
joining the Serra de Valongo, and there fixed his head-
quarters. General Santa Martha advanced last night to
Ponte Ferreira, and the whole division moved in ad-
vance upon Oporto. The whole artillery is doing the same,
and many powder waggons are passing."
Remarking on the statemenrs of some of the London
Journals, the Lisbon Gazette says--" It is a remarkable
coincidence that the very day that the notice of the blockade
of Lisbon and Setubal was published at Lloyd's—on the day
in which the Courier and Herald inserted in their column•
the formal expressions of the invincible Admiral,--' that it
would be the happiest day of his life when the Don John
VI. came cut of the Tagus to attack the Congress, because,
notwithstanding the disparity between the two vessels, he
would give a good account of the Don John VI., and
capture it after an hour's combat, or else run under the
stern, and sink it'—on that same day (August 3), the
Don John did sail out of the Tagus, and the valiant
Sartoritis had the goodness to retreat in such a hurry,
that he lost a good anchor and above 50 fathoms of chain
cable ; the other ships of the rebels leaving similar prizes,
which are now to be seen in the Royal Marine Arsenal."—

CoNsTANTINorLE, Aun. 10.—Yesterday, the 9th, the
English Ambassador left this city. At his last audience
of the Sultan he received a gold snuff-box, set in dia-
monds, with the Sultan's portrait. This is the first time
that the Sultan has made a present of his portrait.
From Syria there is no news favourable to the Porte.

sistence, partly from their conviction of b •
aving been mis-

who have fled to France

are said to be now inclined to return to their country, and
enter the service; at least this is asserted by persons wor-
thy of credit. It seems that the melancholy situation in
which they found themselves in foreign countries, is calcu-
lated to excite this wish in them. It is believed that all
those emigrants who were not too deeply implicated in the
revolution, and who have not committed any of those
,ffences which by the Imperial manifesto exclude them
from all amnesty, will, on manifesting their repentance for
what is past, be pardoned at St. Petersburg'', and may
expect to be etnployed on acceptable conditions. In the
Russian army all is still ; scarcely a regiment is collected

Rig Pultney Malciihn, viz.—Donegal, Vernon, Stag,
Castor, Snake, and Nimrod, has proceeded to Cork, and
after a short crt.Cze will separate, when the Donegal,
Vernon, and Castor, will come to SpitLeid. In a trial

main at Hallifax until the Ist of November, and then
to proceed to Bermuda, where she was to be stationed
until relieved. She was very healthy.

This
last named gun revolves on a circle of iron let into the
deck, and carries a hollow shot 10 inches in diameter and
821bs. weight. We believe the idea of employing hok
low shot was invented by M. Paixhans, a French engineer?
and from the experiments made in France, it was found
that these shot, from their immense diameter, produced
tremendous effects. Experiments of the same nature were
afterwards made at Woolwich, and we cannot but regret
that the results have not been published for the informa-
tion of naval and military officers. The Dee has been
sent here to undergo some improvement in the carriage
and slides of her guns.
