This %Iraq tin nction to recover damhges for
slander. The plaintiff and defendant were both
Assignees of the Estate of a Bankrupt, ()I' the
name of Ainwiek; who was a perfnincr, in Bond-
street. There had been a vat it.: y'of (disputes be-
tween them respecting the management Of the
Bankrupt Estate, in which the defembnit had, in
several instances, accust4i plaintiff of mal-
practices. At length, in the beginnitqv of the
year, 1815, when the plaintiff was out of town,
and the defendant knew that ,his letters were
opened by his clerk, he wrote a letter, ad-
dressed to the plaintiff, lull of gross abuSe,
signed " Jack Ketch," in which,:ifinong other
thiugs, he said, he was rtgreat rogue, that he had
defrauded the 'Creditors of the liankriTt, and had
done that which would bring him to the gallows.
This letter, of course, fell- into the hands of the
plaintiff's clerk, of the name of 1)111111. lle then
being called at a Witilefil stated, that in several
contersations. which the defendant had had with
him lie had repeated the same calumnies,
Mr, GulkNEYi for the defendant, ;aid, that this
was not a case for any st...rioow damages; the plain-
tiff had thought proper to lay by from the early
part of 1813, for two years, and theref,re he did
not think that his reputation had suffered much.

ST. DOMINGO.

Mr. SttAttP moved for leave to present a peti-
tion from a Mr. J. Pavia, who had been most
cruelly cleated at Cape Henry. The petitioner
stated himscli to be a Bri,ish subject, who in
lair trading with the island, had come from one
of Petion's ports to that of Christophe, and had
been seized by the Governor of the latter, on a
charge of a treasonable intercourse with Petion;
put in prison, and tortured with 0111mb-screws,
&c. The petition beim; read, entered into a long
0040 of the circumstances, and prayed the House
to take his case into their consideration, and
adopt such steps as their wisdom might deem fit.
Air. Su Aar then presented another petition from
en Gentleman 14 the name of Marston, a merchant
of Sc. 4tow in London, praying the
!louse to take meastnes tor the pi utection of
British subjects boded as merchants at, or trading
to tit. Denningo.—Both petitions were ordered to
lie on the table.

Lord STANLEY made some allusions to the nttm•
b, r of Inspectors General of Taxes, the purport
of which, as we understood, warto know why
three were to be retained, and the other six dis-
m'issed.

EXECUTION.

This morning, at an early hour, every place
within view of the Old Bailey was filled with per-
sons to witness the execution of the under-men-
fioned persons. tis snpposed that these were
more spectators assembled than on any former oc-
casion. The usual hour of execution arriving,
viz. eight o'clock, and then not the least appear-
ance of any part of the awful scene taking place,
great numbers went away, whilst hundreds re-
mained to see the result of the delay, of the cause
of which we are not yet informed. At nine
o'clock, however, the awful ceremony began.—
The first unfortunate creature who appeared on
the scaffold was Elizabeth Flicker ; then her as-
sociate in the crime for which she was condemned
(burglary), William Kelly, was brought forward,
and placed .near her ; after which 'their fellow
sufferers were conducted to the platform—James
Gates, James Baker, for highway robbery ; Tho-
mas Calm, and Andrew and Benjamin Savage
(two brothers), for forgery. They %vere attended
by the Ordinary of Newgate, who remained with
them a short time in prayer, till the moment' of
their execution arrived, when on giving a signal
the drop gave way, and they were instantly
launched into eternity. At ten o'clock their bo-
dies were taken down and given to their friends
for interment.

The Royal Sovereign yacht has been thoroughly
repaired at Deptford, in consequence of the damage
sustained at Calais, during a violent gale, when

Sunday morning the barn and other out-houses

convenience the Yard can afford.

A most alarming and destructive fire took place
between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednesday

till the whole premises were laid in ashes.

Yesterday morning, about four o'clock, the
house of Mr. Wild, library (toys and jewellery),

robbers, were soon afterwards'taken.

11 EVENU E:

We cannot now vouch for the accuracy of the
subjoined article, which we have taken from a
respectable Morning Paper, but We hope to con-
firm it on Monday, by presenting to our Readers
amore ample statement.

" The following is a comparative statement of
the Net Produce of the Revenue of Great Britain
in the Quarters ending on the 10th ►►f October, in
the year 1816, and 1817 respectively : it is a rouni►
sketch, And may possibly have admitted one or
two slight clerical errors, but none Which can in
any but the most inconsiderable degree affect the
genetat results of the comphrison

ekceeds that of last year by no less a sum than
139,254/, which we believe wilt be found, on
comparison, to raise that Fund higher even than
the corresponding quarter of ISla. Nor is this
an accidental circumstance applving only to a

DATTON V. MALLARD.

This was an action brought by tbe plaintiff, a
farmer, in the parish of Barking, Essex, against
the defendant, -a Magistrate in the same county,
to recover -ten guineas, for goods sold and de-
livered, as long ago as January 1811. Mr.
Mallard pleaded, first; that nothing was. due
.from him ; and, secondly; if it was a debt, more
than six years. had expired since the debt accrued.
The subject in dispute was a quantity of potatoeS,
which the defendant alleged he had paid for. The
question was taken out of the statute of Halite.
tious, because the defendant admitted the debt
was contracted, and undertook to sliew it had
been paid. After a' long examination of witnesses,
the Ltry found a verdict for the plaintiff. Dso.

MARY ASHFORD.

The case of tlris beautiful, innocent, and un-
fortunate female, must have raised a strong inte-
resti in the hearts of every friend to humanity and
justice. Our Readers will remember that as the
verdict of the Jury, in favour of the suspected
Mtirderer, ABRAHAM. THORNTON, at the late
Stafford Assizes, excited universal astonish-
ment, we 'earnestly recommended an applica-
tioti for a new Trial, as the only mode for
removing all d6ubts and satisfying the public
mind. We have '-hoW the pleasure of stating from
authority, that-the relations of this lamented young
woman have obtained A WRIT OF APPEAL, upon
which TMORNTON has been again taken into
custody, and safely lodged in Warwick Gaol,
in order that he shall undergo another Trial,
which, by the ancient Law of England, the next
heir of the person murdered is intitled to Insti-
tute. Whatever may be the final issue of the new
trial, the world at large must feel warm interest
in the subject, and anxiously wish that due
punishment may await on guilt of so horrid and
atrocious a description.

FOR RHEUMA'flting, .COLDS, -AND DISORDERS OF
THE STOMACH AND BOWELS.
DR. JAMES'S ANALEPTIC PILLS restored
to their primitive excellence, from the original and
only Recipe, under Dr. James's band, delivered by him to
Mr. Newbery, when be purchased, and had a regular Assign,
went of, half the Property.
The negligent manner in which the Analeptic Pills have
been compounded of late years, is uotoriuus; and numerous
complaints were received from old purchasers, not only of
the inequality of their sizes, and their alteration from a light
to a dark colour, but also of their being less efficacious than
heretofore.
Mr. Newbery frequently remonstrated against such mis-
management ; but in vain. He had no alternative for he
was, bound by covenants not to sell any Analeptic Pills but
those prepared by Dr. James and his family, so long as they
chose to supply his demands. They thought fit, however, to
refuse that supply in January last; and an attempt has been
Made by the Grandson of the Inventor to usurp the whole
business, under the false title of " Sole Proprietor."—Mr.
Newbery is now therefore absolved from Isis engagements,and
cnabled.to render to the public Use Genuine Meicine in its
Most perfect state, which he pledges himself to he identically
the,Analeptic Pills as prepared by Dr. James in his life-time,,
and endued with all those virtues which established their
reputation.
They are sold by F. Newbery and Sons, at the Original
Warehouses for -Dr. James's Powder, No; 45, •St.
Landon; and 29, DanseLstreetOublin ; and by their Agent,
Mr. Sanger, No. 150, Oxford-street, and all respectable
Venders in Tawn apd , Country,: but observe that Mr. New-
bevy's Name is engraved in all the stamps.

would

into so lucrative a profession
, be able to rend
their ‘` Kidderminster stuff" considerably lower
lhan their brother therchants, whose g oods were
of a more excellent gnalfty. Conveyancing is the
most lucrative branch of the profession. Any
Attorney would give up all his 'other business for
a reasonoble share of this. it is not therefore

A

right that those who have paid a large stainp duty,
a high premium, and have undergone a long and
labo'sious education, should have the wheat sifted
out for others, and have the chaff only for them-
selves. Which is the most respectable Body ? At-
tornitsor certificated Conveyancers? Which the most
numerous ? It is btu just, therefore., that their pri-
vilegess honk! be defended. Btu the Legislature have
no right to interfere 1. It is impertinent and op-
pressive in them to dictate to the Public, whom
they ought to employ, and to prevent people front
working at any busine3S they may choose ! For
this position the name of PALEY is introduced : as
men go to the Bible often to sanction their crimes.
Do not Laws restrain men from practising as
Surgeons or Apothecaries withom a previous edu-
cation, and without undergoing an examination ?
Nor can a matt, generally speakitw, be ordained,
illN!ss he has received an university
,etiocation.
Thus evolves are in other professions kept from
breaking into the sheep folds. Men are not pre-
vented front I(.11ti wing any trade, for they re-
quire a capital,. and the havito: this capital is a
sufficient qualification ; a few weeks will teach
the minute and few particulars. As to the Pub-
lic, 1 imagine they will feel very easy finder the
hardship. They are not so particularly bond of
employing improper persons; or if. they slaroild
he, a clause might he inserted, authorizing ev,,y
Gentleman to employ his own -enlet or butler, and
the poorer people flight still go to the parish
clerk. Before, Sir, you again ondertake to dic-
tate to Parliament, let tne recommend you to
seek a little mote extensive knowledge of polities
that' what a mere acquaintance wi h the fiscal
part of onr affaits is likely to afford, and never
suppose that you can lessen e the effects of a too
sudden transition from war to peace, ;and the,
consequent loss of employment to so many, by
eakiog down the bulwarks of two honourable
professions, and by destroying; the know lutl;„,,e
and integrity by which they are so happily cha-
racterized.

'COAL-MtNE ExPLostoN.—Duritam,
Yesterday morning a most dreadful accident oc-'
curred in Jhe Hain-pit At Itaiuton Colliery, by an
explosion of fire damp, by which six men and
twenty-one boys lost their -lives. The explosion.
took place at three o'clock, in the morning, before
the 'hewers had descended the pit, and from this
circumstance about 169 lives have been preserved.
Every exertion was made to render assistance to
those in the mine ; and we regret to add, that
two men fell a sacrifice to their humane endea-
vours, having been suffocated by the impure state
of the air. The viewers and agents were extremely
active; and had nearly shared the same fate.—
Seven of the, bodies have already been brought to
;Ice hank. The pit in which this accident occurred
Is as always considered to be quite tree from ex-
plosive matter ; and in consequence of this sup-
posed security, the safety lamp had never been.
introduced into it, the millers continuing to Wurk
by the light of candles.
