CRIMINAL SIDE.

William Ruddick was indicted for having, on Wednesday
last, the 19th of this month, assaulted one Joshua Hen-
derson, and put him in bodily fear, and taking from his
person the sum of 761. in notes and silver. The appear-
ance of the two persons strongly contrasted them with each
other. The prisoner was a short slight young man, while
the prosecutor, who seemed to be nearly six feet high,
was well formed, and very muscular. From the prosecu-
tor's statement, it appeared' that on last Tuesday, he was
returning home from Darlington to a. place in. the vicinity
of Barnard-castle, when .he. engaged the prisoner to be-
come a, servant with him. Ile stayed that night on the
road, and in the course of his journey on the following day
he stayed at several places to take money which was ow-
ing to him, and which he collected 'to nearly the amount
of 801. When he arrived near the place where the robbery
was committed, he said to the prisoner," Go thee back, for I
don't like thy looks;" to which the prisoneranswered," Nay,
master, do let me go with thee, and I will behave myself
well.", They then proceeded a little further, when the

prosecntor again desired him to go back ; upon which pri-
soner took hold of the bridle of his pony. Prosecutor
seeing this, said to him, " Let go the bridle, else I'll fell
thee on which the prisoner did leave the bridle, but
continued running by the side of prosecutor's pony, and
in a short time afterwards took the stick from prosecutor's
hand, and knocked him off the pony ; prosecutor did not
remember any thing from that time till he found himself
raised up in the road by some one, and that he felt his
pocket,' end finding his book gone, he elicit (nit.that he
was robbed; a small' bundle that the prisoner had catrled
was found by the prtuieentor when he was discovered.
The prisoner, in his defence, gave a long history of all
the public-houses at which he and the prosecutor had
stopped to drink during, the two, days of their travelling
together, and said, that on the second day, the prosecutor
had got so intoxicated that he fell off his pony, and pri-
soner put him on it again ; that prosecutor afterwards at-
tempted to pick a quarrel with him, awl did strike him,
and beat the pony without any cause whatever.
The .lury, after about two minutes' consideration, found
the prisoner at/Viz/.
Sentence of death was then, for form's sake, recorded
against the prisoner.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Camakinuit, Jut,y kS.•--The Mite of Esquire Bedell is va-
cant' by the death of George Ware, who succeeded the late
Mr. lola, in the .year 181 4. George Leapingwell, Esq. M.A.
of Corpus Christi College, deputy Esquire, Bedell, is candidate for
the vacant office, the election to which will he determined by the
votes of the Senate.

in On the 21st inst. the Rev. George Powys StoptOrd was in-
stituted, by the Lord Bishop of Peterborough, to the rectory of
Warkton, in the county of Northampton, (vacant by the death
of the Rev. Daniel lAanchope,) on the presentatien of her Grace
the Duchess Dowager of Buceleugh and Queensberry.

hitriself as the executor of a person to whom the,plaintiff was in-
debted to that amount ; the latter knowing thiethere was a just
claim against him, made no defence to the action, and the con-
sequence was, that judgment was obtained against him, and he
wait ordered to pay 900/., with costs, to Ryder; in.default there-
of, he was thrown into prison, where he remained up, to the pre-
sent time, Dimsdale not doubting all along.but that Ryder was
executor as he represented himself, but he subsequently t2is-
covered that the representations of Ryder were false, and
that not he but another person, named Benjamin Ryder,
was the real executor, who threatened him with another action in
the same cause. In this dilemma the plaintiff besea-hed the inter-
ference of this Court : he was too late to have judgment arrested,
a writ of error could not lie ; there was no relief to be found in
any quarter, except in equity. The judgment was evidently
wrong. The only difficulty was, how the Court could remedy it.
It could not make an order to discharge the plaintiffs. Simply the
motion he should make would be, that the Court do order that the
defendant should consent to the discharge of the plaintiff.
The VICE..CHANCILLPR said, that the granting of that mo-
tion would be making a decree in the cause.—Motion refused.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-(Tul S DAY.)

Rawlins Satterthwaite, Esq. was brought up and opposed by
Mr. Heath, on behalf of Mr. Webber, and by Mr. Farebrother,
(the Sheriff elect) in person. Mr. Farebrother stated that he wa* a
surveyor, that his opposition arose from no malicious motive, but
merely to know the state of the insolvent's affairs, who, he said,
had dealt very unfairly with him ; for,: after promising to make
over an assignment of some freehold property for 400/. and hav-
ing given orders to that effect to his attorney, witness advanced
the money—and the insolvent then made over the freehold pro-
perty to another person.
The insolvent then underwent a strict examination, respecting
his expenditure; he admitted that while in prison he had a room
entirely to himself, and had kept a girl ; that previously his ex-
penditure amounted to 4.00/. a-year.
Mr. Heath suggested the propriety of referring the ease to Mr.
Dr:ce, the provisional assignee. After some observations by
Mr. Cooke and several creditors, Mr. Heath's suggestion was com-
plies' with, and the 'insolvent was remanded until next week,
when the Master's report will be read.

A BULL FLIGHT IN•HOLBOHNe—Mr. Gardiner,-
who has lately rebuilt the Inn, at a very consideri
able expense, erected the figtue of a bull in front of
°I
,
his house. The bull alarmed the Commissioners
Sewers. Mr. G. had notice to :ake his 'bull tlowni
but he refused to comply with their mandate. • A"
cordingly, they procured ladders, &cc. ice., and 1110.11'
tered upwards of fifty men, for the purpoee,of tekni
him down. Mr. Gardiner being acquainted with
intention, prepared the means of defeat. The' sst.'-•
ants came opposite Mr. G.'s house ; the moment they
began to make preparations, to the astonishment
every one present, the bull moved majesticallyto„the
top of the house. When there, he displayed Oag'
bearing the, inscription, " 1 don't intrude nowr"o

THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE...-(Tats DAY).
The last week's supply of Grain was very moderate, as has
been the ease for several weeks put, and this morning there' Is
very little fresh up, either from the near counties or the more
distant ports. In inferior qualities of Wheat there is nothing
doing, but fine samples readily obtain last Monday's terms. Bar-
ley is held at as good prices as this day seinnight, but the demand
is not so brisk as we then noted. Beans and Pease are less ea.
gerly inquired after, notwithstanding we do not note any alteration
in the price. Oats are in tolerably brisk demand, at full as good
prices as last Monday. Flour remains as last quoted.

was soon` discovered, however, that the establishment
in quektion was by no means one of great rouse-
Auence, and that it closT Iriiness by the payment of
all `debts; one principil reason for which is stated
to be 'tile prospect of the metallic currency system
beinefxtended, to Scotland. We have frequently
pointed. out the benefits resulting from the present
banking system in.scotland, and prophecied the evils
which would arise from an alteration of it. It appears
tlt the very anticipation of an alteration begins to he
'prOductive of serious consequences, and if it should
be attempted to be carried into effect, it will ineviiiab.ly
involve the whole of that portion of the kingdom in
rum.

'the Bank of England appear at length to be about
to commence the establishment of Branch Banks in
different parts‘of the kingdom. The arrangements for
opening the Branch Bank at Gloucester, are said to be
completed, and that it will open in the course of the
present week. Progress has also been made towards
the formation of similar establishMents in Leeds,
Manchester, and Birmingham. We lament that more
expedition had not been used in opening these esta-
blishments, in order that a fair experiment of their
utility might have been made previously to the meet-
ing of Parliament, which will probably take place at a
much earlier period than has been anticipated.

We have received this morning Brussels Papers of
the 15th inst., arid Hamburgh to the 12th Lbut in
consequence of the press of other matter, we can only
find space for the following extracts:—
Letters from Vienna report that despatches have been
sent to Baron Ottenfels, at Constantinople, in consequence.
of the news which has' been received by way of Trieste of
the reported arrival of Lord Cochrane in the Archipelago,
with a squadron to join the Greeks. It seems to be in-
tended to prevent the disagreeable impression which this
news will make on the Ottoman Government, by repre-
senting to it that Lord Cochrane has long since ceased to
hold a commission in the British naval service; and he is
therefore at liberty to enter the service of any foreign
power whatever.
Letters from Odessa of the 2.5 th June have news from
Constantinople to the 21st. The courage and presence of
mind of the Sultan, during the revolt of the Janissaries,
have given the Turks a high opinion of his character.—
Rewards have been lavished on the faithful troops. The
formation of the new troops cannot meet with any further
obstacles, and certain Christian Powers are to furnish
officers to instruct them.

PRIZE CHRONOMETERS.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with!
a view of affording the utmost possible aid, to naviga-•
tion, and encouragement to the mechanic arts, have
instituted two annual prizes, for the two best chrono-
meters that could be produced, viz. 3001. for the best,•
providing the error of • its mean . daily rate, when
doubled, added to the mean of its extreme variation,
shall not exceed six seconds ; and 2001. for the second
best, providing its errors, on the same principle., shall
not exceed ten seconds, after twelve months trial at
.the Royal Observatory, Greenwich ; each competitor
being allowed to put in two ; and from the Monthly
Reports, it appears that forty-eight were admitted on'.
trial on the Ist of May, 1825. By the following
official documents from the Royal Observatory, it ap-
pears that the two prizes .have been awarded to Mr.
J. M. French *, Royal Exchange, his chronometers
haring far exceeded in accuracy any thing on record.

The variation of No. -, entitled to the first prize,

3912
having been only six tenths of a second in the twelve
months on its mean daily rate ; three tenths,during
the last ,nine months.; and under . one tenth of a
second during the last four months of the trial ; and
No. 975, entitled to the second prize, varied less than
a second during the twelve months.
This is a triumph alike honourable to the mechanic
arts and to the Government that appreciates it.

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.

Dr. Paris delivered his fourth Lecture yesterday
afternoon, at the. Royal College of Physicians. The
subject vas the Prussic Acid, and the-Liquefaction of
the different Gases. He entered into an historical ac-
count of the successive discoverieS, by which the
nature of Prussie, or Hydrocyanic acid, has been
Ilnally developed ; and-he xhibited its compound in-
'flamnalebasis in a gaseous form. The diagrams which
were displayed on this occasion were beautifidly illustra-
tive of the changes which those compounds -undergo that
are active in producing, this body. He then pro-
.ceeded to explain the operation by which bodies, long
considered as permanently elastic gases, may be re-'
duced into a liquid state. He .showed sulphurous
acid, carbonic acid, 'miriade acid, and ammonia, -in
such states ; and, exhibited a table descriptive of the
pressure which was, required in.each:case to effect the
liquefaction. He stated that the carbonic acid was
under a pressure of 46,.::end nitrous 'oxide gas under
that of .56 atmospheresi An explosion must have;
levelled some of the most distinguished members of
the profession in the dust ; and we should have been.
terrified at the exhibition, had not our confidence in
the prudence of the lecturer fortifiettour nerves.
In, speaking of the discovery of the liquefaction of,
those gases, Dr. Paris offered some remarks, the sub-:
stance of which we are inclined to introduce. He
said that he was present during the first experiments,
land was 'therefore induced to observe, that those state-
ments in the different journals, which would seem to
divide the honour of -the discovery, were incorrect.,
In short, the Doctor was not anxious to secure for
I.Mr. Faraday the undivided honour of the research,
and we think he succeeded in his object. •

that the heroes should have had such " bad luck.
Friday morning a nieeeng took place near Gahvay, hetweets
A. Martin, Esq., of Dangan, and• Thomas Blake, of Menlo ; by
the.judicious interference of friends, the matter was amicably
arranged on the ground, when the parties shook hands in perfect
cordiality.
A•meeting took place this morning, at an early hour, at the
Botanic Gardena; between Luke T. Dillon, Esq., Mount Dillon,.
County Itoacommon, attended by Oliver Irwin, Esq., Bushy

ment took place. .

An affair of honour took place on Saturday morning last, at
Dallinakill, County Galway, between Robert Lynch, Esq., .of
Mount Elvin, and Denis R. O'Connor, Esq., of Wishnick ; the
former accompanied by Lord A-n r-y, the hitter by Joseph Mae
D-n-1, Esq. After an exchange of two shots each, without
effect, the matter was accommodated to ,the satisfaction of all
parties.

by Mr. Richard W. Morris, and a medical gentleman; .and Mr. P.
Barron, accompanied by Mr. F. Wyse, and a professional attend-

change of four shots each, without effect, Mr. Wyse on the part
of Mr. B. declared himself satisfied, and the parties left the
ground.
On Monday last, a meeting 'took place near .-Charleville, be-

HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNISDAY, lUki 24.
WEST INDIA SLAVERY,

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a Petition from
Planters of the Islands of Dominica and St. Vincent, resident in
Greet Britain. It prayed that there might be no further inter-
ference respecting West India Slavery, until after en inquiry into
the difference between free and slave labour ; that the privileges
of the colonial legislatures might be preserved; and that com-
pensation besecured to the proprietors for any losses that they might
sustain by the measures adopted with regard to the slaVes. In
proof that direct encouragement had been given by this country
to negro slavery, the Petitioners stated, that the greater part of
the lands held by tha.proprietors of the island of Dominica had
been purchased fir the Crown, on the express condition of be-
ing cultivated 14y slaves ; and also, that when some of the legisla-
tures wished to limit "the importation of slaves, they had been
prevented by the Government of this country.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented Petitions, praying
for the abolition'of. negro slavery, from various parishes in the
Counties. of Southampton, Northampton, Nottingham, Kent,
and
METROPOLITAN TRUST BILL.
_ _

On the order of the day, for the third reading of the MetrO-

it be read a third time this day three months.
A long conver►ation took place on this motion, after which the
House divided—

The Bill was then read a third time, and passed.
MANUFACTURING DISTRESS.

Earl FITZWILLIAM, in a very low tone of voice, asked a
quest-inn, 'tibial we understood to be,' whether it was intended
to propose any grant of public money fur the relief of the exist-
ing distress. -
The Earl of LIVERPOOL could only give the same answer
to the Noble Earl's question which he had formerly given to the
same question, when put by other Noble Lords. A very special
case must be made out to induce him to consent to give relief out
of the public kiurse. The proper source, as he bad already stated,
appeared to bun to be the poor-rates;, and whatever farther aid
might be necessary, would be better supplied by private benevo-
lence than by public money. lie did not Say that in no case an
advance on public money ought to be made for the relief of local
distress; but, to do so, would be to establish the first precedent of
the kind in England. lie could assure the Noble Earl that he
had aittiously considered the subject, and that the more he eon-
sidered it, the more he was confirmed in tbe opinion he had given.
Lord TEYNUAM presented a petition from the owners and
occupiers of land in the neighbourhood of Rochester, praying that
no alteration might be made in the Corn Laws.

THE GREEKS.

The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from a person
in the comity of Essex in faVour of the Greeks. This wag the
first petition which had been published on a subject of very uni-
versal interest. He did not knoW what were th'e intentions of his
Majesty's Ministers respecting the
.Greek cause, and did not mean
to inquire.; but it would be a mistake to suppose'that the people
of this country did not feel a deep interest in it. -1f the public
bad hitherto abstained from petitioning on this subject, it was
probably for the same reason which had induced him and °there to
leave the question entirely in the hands of the Members of his Ma-
jesty's Government, whose sincerity and zeal there was no reason
to doubt.

BRIGHTON.

(From the Brighton Gazette.)
His Majesty, it is expected, will leave town for the
Royal Lodge early in June.
A ridiculous story appeared in the Morning Chro-
nick; a few days ago, that in consequence of the King
having, by the advice of his physicians, finally deter-
mined upon not returning to Brightim, the Pavilion,
after being stripped of such internal and external orna-
ments as may be found of use in the decoration of the
new palace of Buckingham House, will be sold in lots
to those builders who may be disposed to purchase.
This story is only in keeping with the numerous, but
futile attempts to depreciate Brighton, which have
proceeded from certain quarters ; in the present in-
stance, however, the thing is so absurd as to defeat
itself: and it should also be recollected that this is
not the first time reports, equally wonderful and
equally veracious, have appeared in the same paper.

A HINT TO SWINDLERS.—A society has recently
been formed in this town, by many respectable trades-
men, with the view of protecting themselves against
swindlers and others, by whom they have frequently
suffered, in consequence of their being unable to de-
tect such characters before they had trusted them with
their goods.
• The grand match of Cricket between Brighton and
Midhurst, for 50 sovereigns a side, takes place in
Ireland's grounds on Monday next, and excites an
unusual degree of interest among the amateurs of this
manly game.
We regret to say, that some busy, thoughtless,
headstrong booby, has had the hardihood to inocu-
late several persons residing in some of the back streets
of Brighton, with the small-pox, and that the lives of
several persons are despaired of, and others have died
of this dreadful malady. We understand the District
Society intend taking the matter up, and to prosecute
the offender with the utmost rigour of the law. Poor
and ignorant persona require protection from the effects
of Caudle sometimes.

WINDSOR, MAY 21.

Yesterday his Majesty, accompanied by the Lord
Steward, in his travelling carriage, with his usual re-
tinue
of outriders, arrived at the Royal Lodge. On
his Majesty's arrival lie inspected the improvements
making agreeable .to his order, at the Royal Lodge,
which are nearly completed, and which will add much
to the improvement of the comfortable accommoda-'
tions of that delightful retreat.. After inspecting the
Royal Lodge, his Mdesty, with the Lord; Steward,
entered his phaeton, which was in waiting, and drove
through the Long walk direct to the Castle ; on en-
tering which his Majesty's attention was attracted to
the foundation of the new portico, which is to be
erected in front of the grand entrance, and which is
designed to embellish that magjestic entrance,• as
well as in bad weather to afford protection to the
Royal attendants and visiters, under which they can
alight from their carriages, and walk along the arcade
to their different apartments. His Majesty, on en-
tering the Castle square, was•met by Mr. Wyatville,
and after taking a view Of the square front, his Ma-
jesty descended from his phaeton, and inspected the
whole of the interior, with which his Majesty seemed
highly pleased. His Majesty entered the Castle at
three o'clock, and left at four, when he returned by the
same route to the Royal Lodge, and from thence pro-
ceeded to inspect the improvements carrying on at
Virginia Water. Alter which his Majesty returned to
Cumberland Lodge, and, with the Lord Steward, en-
tered hia travelling carriage, which, with his retinue,
was there in readiness ; when. his Majesty left for
Carlton Palace.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF LORDS, .(Tiffs Div.)
COMMITTEE or PRIViI.EGIIS.
It was resolved, that the Earl of Howth and the Marquis of
Waterford, had made out their claims to vote for Representative
Peers for Ireland.
The claillM of 'Lords Verulam. and Bloomfield, were adjourie..l
till Thursday next. Lord Redesdalu iu alluding to the Dr. Lila
claim of Peerage, said that under all the cireurtia,nces,
was of opinion that the claim ought not to be allowed, as it did
not appear that a writ, and consequent sitting, created a Peerage
in iee, in the reign of Richard the Second.—Further r..onsidera-
tion. was adjourned to Thurs:lay.
. THE AUNANDALR PEIRA,Gr.
Lord Reuxsum.x took a brief view of the circurn.t3Pcr4
nected with this claim, and said that behpre their Lordships should
coma ta.a decision, they coght to have evidence before them, that
the des,,lendants of those whos! title was superior to that of the
present claimant were extinct ; and for that purpose, he moved
an adjournment of the case to Thursday.
The Lon!) CirAseP.I.I.OR gave judgment in the case of Ogilvie

in the case ofDarey v. Kelly, affirming the Decree of the Court of

THE FUNDS.

There has been a great heaviness in the Money Market during
the last week, in consequence of several sales of Money Stock,
but the prices have not materially declined, 77a being the lowest
price, and '77k was the closing price of Saturday's transactions.
There seems to be a disposition on OA part of the, public to sell
Consols, and exchange them for the new 4 per Cent. Stuck, and
which appears from a calculation' which this paper has exclusively
given to the public, is attended with considerable profit. Many
sirs of Money Stock have also taken place, in consequence of the
near approach of the shutting of the Conaols, the holders not wish-
ing t~ their money out of their reach, in case any scarcity
should arise; and which persons, who attentively watch the symp-
toms, and &reconsidered wise in their generation, seem to antici-
pate: The approaching general election has also produced a few
sales of Stock, and looking at the number of populous places ex-
pected to be contested, we think a large sum of money is about. to
leave London on its travels.

The altered auto of the Money Market might, therefore, raa7
aonably account even for a greater depression in the price of
Stocks, without allusion to any of the principal reports with which
many of our cotemporaries amuse the public.
In the Foreign Market the fluctuations have not been extensive.
The currency given to the reports as to an immediate war betweer,
Russia and Turkey affected the price of Russian Bonds, which
fell from 76 to 741, and the other Northern 'Securities also be-
came depressed. In Colombian and Mexican Securities there has
been hasdly any business doing. No house has, as yet, come for-
ward to pay the dividend due in July on the Colombian Bonds.
