COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Gcrambur., OCT. 27.
The LORD CHIEF JusTicE• arrived in town from
his country seat this morning, and immediately re-
sumed his sittings at Nisi-Pi-las in this Court. His
Lordship, we are happy so say, is looking'extremely
well, and appears to have, in a great measure, re.
covered from his lameness.
CIIURCHLAND V. ARTAUD ANT) OTHERS.

_
Mr. RICHARDS opened the pleadings.
Mr. Serjeant TADDY stated that the object of the
plaintiff in bring this action was to recover a compen-
sation in damages for a malicious arrest. Fhe plain-
tiff was the keeper of the poor-house at Northfleet,
in Kent, .and, as might be imagined, Was not in very
affluent circumstances. He had a relation, however,
at whose death he expected to receive very consider-
able property. The name of that person, who was
a yeoman of the Guard, was Price. The defendants
were undertakers, residing in Queen Anne-street,
Cavendish-square. Price died in October, 1826,
and on the 19th of that month the defendants fur—
nished and performed his funeral. The circumstance
of the death of his relative did not reach the ears
the plaintiff until a month after it had taken place;
but he was no sooner made acquainted with it, than
he hastened up to town in the expectation of receiv-
ing a very handsome legacy, but to his great astonish-
ment, instead of receiving a legacy, he was arrested
at the suit of the defendants for the expences of the
funeral. Previous to the arrest, the plaintiff had
been induced to take out letters of administration, as
indeed he had every right to do; and the question
in the present case would be, whether the defendants
were warranted in arresting an administrator for a
debt contracted- entirely without his knowledge or
consent. He was arrested at ten o'clock in the
morning, and kept in custody until eight the same
evening; it would therefore be for the jury to say
what compensation they thought he ought to re-
ceive for the violence done to his feelings during
that time.

Several witnesses were called who established
the case.

The Jury, however, thought no malice had been
proved, and accordingly returned a- verdict for the
defendants.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 27.

John Bull, George Limeburner,- Thomas Hutton,-
Thomas nomas, Richard Hammond, Robert Worth,
Michael Fairclough, George Sha2v,• Isaac Holded,
Francis Wakeling, and John Wilkinson, were in-
dieted for riotously assembling together on the 23d
of last September, and violently assaulting several
individuals.

John Hunt was a watchman. On the night of
the 23d of September he was eat duty in the City-
road, near the bridge; a vast number of Mr. Pick-
ford's men were standing en the bridge, insulting
every one that passed them. In obedience to the
orders. of, the Magistrates of Worship-street, who
had been informed of the disorderly and improper
conduct that was nightly adapted by persous who
congregated on that spot, he desired them to move
on; but they gave him bad language, and refused
to stir. In about half an hour he heard u scream,
anti on running to the bridge, he saw a young girl,
a servant in the neighbourhood, who was bring-
ing home a dish of oysters ' for her master's
supper, knocked down, and her petticoats dragged
up over her head. He immediately rushed in
to save the young girl from being further
abused, when Thomas Thomas took up a brick,
flung it at him, and the missile coming with terrific
force against his head, his hat was cut in two, and
himself lain prostrate by the blow. While on the
ground, there was a general cry of " Heave him over
the bridge." Thomas kicked him in the side, Worth
struck him with a heavy bludgeon (bludgeon pro-
daced), and Limeburner threw stones at him. Bull
was amongst the party. He could nos identity any
of the other prisoners.
Samuel Eames, who happened to be passing at the
moment, in addition to the outrage just deposed to, he

On Saturday night the town-house of GEo.
Or roc, Esq., in Trinity-square, Tower-hill, was burgh-
riously entered, 'and plundered of some plate mad a quantity
of wearing apparel. Among the plate was some spoons,
with the Griffin's head. The thieves had obtained an ac-
ees4 to the house by surmounting a wall to the rear, and
removing the fastenings of the window by means of a
centre-bit. They would, in all probability, have secured a
large booty, had it not been for a very singular circum-
stance. They were frightened from their work by a noise
they had overheard, which, as it was said, was occasioned
by Mrs. OFFOR'S leaping out of bed while under the in-
fluence of a disturbed dreaM, in which she imagined she
had St 'en the likeness of a deceased friend.

A well-dressed man, about five feet ten inches
in height, dark, hair and visage, called at a house in Prince's-
, street, Lambeth, and desired to he shown over it. The
reque•kt was complied with; and on entering one of the
bed-rooms, he stole a valuable gold ring, set with diamonds
and pearls, which was left on the dressing-table that morn-
ing by the lady of the house. The ring was not missed
until after his departure, and -it was subsequently traced to
the shop of a tradesman in the Westminster-roadi who ac-
counted for the manner in which
it cameinto his poissession
by stating, that he had purchased. it of a man. answering the

On INiondav het Graveeand was the scene of
a curious emeeeding, whisk eannot blot reflect
,great credit upon the vigilance of the authorities
there. On that morning a. sloop, bearing the
title of the Nancy, of Boston, burden about one
hundred tons, and loaded to the water's edge,
was seen making a slow progress up the river,
_ towed by three men in a boat a-head. Although
- her appearance excited no suspicion whatever,
the Revenue insPector at Gravesend went on
heard of her, and meeting the Captain on deck,
the only person' . then on board, he asked him-
where his ship's.papersawere? The Captain re-
plied, that 'they were somewhere below deck,
hut he did neit• exactly know where at that
► slant to put his band- upoik them. The Inspec-
tor said, that it 'wets rather• odd that ri Captain
should not always have his ship's papers it livid,
and he desired the Captain to go below and
fetch them up, that he might look at theme The
. Captain went below, but could- not find the
papers, for the best possible reason, that there
were no papers to be found, end he again cause'
on deck empty handed.
" I tell you what, master Captain," said the
Inspector, " just for your nteetigeases, now,

placed two of hivt'revenue men 'in the vesecl, to
proceed with her to port., and went Intziee:
ashore again in his boat, never euspecieee there
was any thing really' 'wrong in the absetee or the
ship's documents. He had, heyseyee, scatc2lr,
reached shore froth his boat,-when he observed
tthc three men who had hitberto• been towing-the, •
:stoopalong, suddenly.cut the towing rope,and Mr/
oft' iv their boat with. all their 'might leaving the
Nancy, of Boston, and her Captain acetheir fate.
This urtexpeeted manoeuvre at once aroused the.
suspicions of the - Inspector, and he 'onot-snore.
boarded the shinpoihen, on a close examination.
of her cargo:he found that the surface of corn
was a, mere covering to conceal an extensive
cargo of foreign brandy, with which she was •
laden. The Nancy was now, of course, seized,
as was also her Captain ; and on searching the
person of the latter,-there was found on him one
document alone, which ehewed that the Nancy
was the bearer of 2,000 tubs of brandy, for the
London market, without intending to trouble
the Custom-house for permission to land then).
The Captain was now brought on shore, and
deposited m the Gravesend. gaol, which adjoins
the Town-hall, there to remain until he should
be dealt with according to the law of the case.
It happened that on that day the Corporation
people were going on with some of their annual
transactions in the Town-hall; the gaoler's pre--
sence being necesaary to their ,proceedings, that
functionary, was more engaged in the Town-hall
than he was in the gaol; but left as his substi-
tute in the latter place a very decent obliging old
woman, about 70 years of age.
About two o'clock in, the afternoon, three
men, dressed like Country labourers 'in smock-
frocks, presented themselves at the gaol door, and
asked if the old laely would permit them just to
hand in a bit of dinner to the Captain, of tha
Nancy, which they had brought with them in
their hands, and a bottle of wine ? The old
gaoleress very coolly said, by all means, and im-
mediately admitted them to the apartment where.
the Captain was confined. Here the men laid down
their provisions,' and requested the old lady
to oblige them with the loan of a table
cloth for their friend, which she iuunediately
gave them, and assisted them in laving out
the dinner on the table. During this proceed-
ing, one of the men was apparently amusing
himself outside the prison door tossing -up a
halfpenny, but in filet:to watch till the coast was
clear; and this moment havingsarrived, he calla
out a heads," .which no doubt was the signal
agreed upon, when instantly out rushed the Cape
tarsi and 'the other men, leaving the old woman
fo arrange the dinner table alone, and all fotir
ran with the utmost speed along the street, until
they came to a blacksmith's forge, where stood a
beautiful blood horse, harnessed to a light spline,
cart, into which the four men iwediatelv threw
themselves, and one seizing the reins, gave
whistle to the horse, which set off at a rate of
sixteen miles an hour, and paesing- right through
the whole town of Gravesend, were out of sight
almost before the old gaoleress had recovered
from her amazement. It seemed that about two
hours before the escape the three smock-frock
men brought the horse and cart to the ernith's •
forge, and left them to stand there, desiring that
the horse should be shod all round, and every
part of the cart examined and well secured by
their return, at the same time paying in adYanse
for smith's lahaur.

7" FRENCH PAPERS.
Own the Gazette de France, dated Oct. 26.)
AM;.OOT. 25.—An extraordinary courier very.
recently arrived from Madrid at the Hotel of the
4%, Spanish Legation, and another was immediately
despatched to the same capital. It appears that this
iietttlitinge of couriers relates entirely to a financial
subject, and that Mr. Uriarte, whose arrival at Paris
from Madrid we lately announced, has been au-
thorized to issue on our Exchange to the arnount of
900,000/. sterling in Rentes Perpetuelle d'Espagne
(about 22,000,000 of francs), in order to pay to the
English creditors what is due to them according to
the treaty lately concluded at London by Count
d'Ofalia.

The Augsburgh Gazette states, that a ship from
the Levant, which has arrived at Trieste, met on
the Ist of October, off the islands of Sapienza, a
transport belonging to the third division of the
French expedition, which had asked the Captain to
point out the course to Calamata. Though this ves-
sel was under French colours, the captain appeared
to him to be a Neapolitan. He stated that he had
been separated from the French convoy by a storm,
on the coast of Sicily, as well as several other trans-
ports, three of which had been afterwards captured
by the Barbary cruisers.
His Majesty the King of Wurtemberg has autho-
rised M. de Turckheini, mayor of Strasburgh, to pay
the sum of 1,000 florins towards rebuilding the par-
sonage house of Souffel Weyrsheim, which was
burnt dawn in 1815, when the troops commanded
by the Prince Royal, now King of Wurtemberg,
were marching against the corps of General Rapp.
Vincent Monti, the greatest Italian poet of this
age, died at Milan on the 13th inst.
(From the Courrier Francais, of Saturday.)

PARIS, OCT. 25.—THR WINTER CAIIPAIGN OP
THE RUSSIANS. -After the remarkable check lately
suffered by the Russians before Varna, anti which
theii'.own avowals attest, the question which natu-
rally arises is, whether they will carry on a winter
campaign ? Every thing shews that the Turks in-
tend to effect their object of penetrating into Walla-
chia, to devastate and ruin that province. If they
succeed, as is very probable, the situation of the
Russians, which is already sufficiently miserable, will
be complicated, by the privation of the greater part
of the resources on which they must rely for the
campaig*.
The winter campaign then is announced, sur-
rounded by great difficulties—and yet the Russians
must proceed with it. If they wait till the next
year, supposing they use all possible celerity in their
movements, they will still have to struggle against a
part of the difficulties with which they have already
contended. Add to this, the circumstance of their
adversaries having gained all the time and spirit
whict• ay will have lost. Add to this, that the
rnanceuvres of diplomacy will then have openly en-
tered the fi.1,1. fs it to be supposed, that in the in-
terval Engi.ial will have done nothing ? Her
squadrons, breaking the blockade of the Dardanelles,
will be in the Black Sea to support the Sultan.
Will the system of resignation and passiveness adopted
now by the English Cabinet be tenable till next

year ?
