TEIE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

1 As we have been destre,i by many of our Mili-
tary Readers to reprint the Article which was
copied from The Morning Chronicle into '!'Ha Su
of the Ist instant, we comply with their wish.—
We are assured that the letters signed Junius
Militaris, to which the subjoined article is an
answer, found their way into The Morning Chro-
nicle during the unavoidable absence of the Editor,
who took the first opportunity to repair the error.
We repeat our hearty concurrence in every tes-
timony of respect and approbation that can be
offered to the COMMANDER -IN-CHIEF, for the ad-
mirable state to which he has brought the British
Army, which has enabled it to take so conspi-
cuous a part in the deliverance of Europe, and
which may proudly stand in competition with any
other;Military Power on earth :
" We are truly concerned that, during the se-
rious indisposition of the Edit'or, a letter made its
appearance in this Paper; reflecting on the con-
duct of the COMMANDER-IN -CHI EF, and of the
principal Officers under his Royal Highnes.s. A
comparison was set up between the system of his
loyal Highness and that of the late Lord AM-
HERST. Now the Editor is old enough to recol-
lect the situation of the Army Office in the time
of the Noble Lord, and he can truly say, that the
Army is highly indebted to the. present COM..
MANDER-IN- CHIEF for correcting the many and
scandalous abuses which prevailed at the time al-
luded to.

• " During the period the late Lord AMHERST
was Commander-in-Chief, he held Military Le-
vees weekly at. his house in St. Jathes's•square ;
Office's went in full dress—were formed in a
circle in the Drawing-rnorn ; and, in incitation of
the Royal Levees, his Lordship passed the click,
allowing each Officer to speak or bow to him, and
he then retired.

" It is obvious, that in the parade of this Le-
vee, an Officer had not a proper opportunity of
makiug such a communication to the .CommAtv-
DER-IN-CHIEF as he might have done, had he been
ushered to him alone, and avoided the restraint of
a public room, where all he said must be heard by,
others. •

" The army, during Lord AMHERST'S Ad►ni-
nistration, was a mere nucleus, upon which was
subsequently formed the immense force that has'
eventually added so greatly to our military fame,'
and to the deserved eulogiums which have bee►l•
pronounced by the country at large, upon his'
Royal Highness the Duke of YORK. How any.
parallel could, in justice, be drawn between the
ditties which- devolved upo►► the late Lord Am-
HRRST HIPI the present 111USItiOlIS COMMANDER.
IN-CHIEF, we know not ; and it would be equal•
ly remote from justice to assimilate the employ-
ment and responsibility of their respective Secre-'
taries, and of the inferior persons serving in the
department.

" It is notorious to every Officer of the Army',
who served in it prior• to the pet iod of the Duke
of YoliK being appointed Commander-in-Chief,'
that nothing could be more netarioos than the
means that were pursued to procute military
rank ;—a set of men, who designated themselv, st
Army Commission Br►►kers, would undertake to
procure any rank up to that of Lieutenant• Col-
onel inclusive, provided there was sufficient money
to Meet- their terms ; the Military Secretary fixed
his premium, and, as his influence with the COM. 4
MANDER-INXHIEI, was adequate to every object
of this nature, do failure or disappointment to the
parties could arise.
" Yet this is the system which Junius Mililaris
holds out to the Public, as one infinitely prefer-
able -to the present Administration of the army—
which secures to every officer his right of purchase
at the regulated price, if lie is the eldest in his
rank in his regiment—and which gives an oppor-
tunity to the youngest Ensign in the army to
have a personal interview with the COMMANDER-
IN-CHIEF, when he may, without any restraint,
and free from observation, lay his case before his
Royal Highness, and from whom he is ,inre to
have a patient bearing, and a gracious and cou-'
descending reception.
" With regard to the distribution of the sums
which pass through the Army Office, the Editor
has before him the account rendered to Patlia-
ment, and nothing can be more satisfactory to the
liberal heart than the use which is made of the
money arising from the sale of commissions. It
-is shewn in that Paper, that where officers die
leaving widows totally unprovided tor, the con►-
mission of the deceased, if originally bought by
himself, is sold for the benefit of the widow—and
a long list is given of the humane provisions thus
made by his Royal Highness for the widows and
orphans of meritorious officers.

" As to the persoohlii ies so illiberally poured
forth on the Chief Seel etaries, Officers, and others

connected with the Office, they are so obviously
the effusion of spleen, and- are so totally uusup»
ported by truth, as to deserve no REIS %Ver. At

no time ..was wore gentletniqiy attention shewn
to the service, and more poat.bt impartiality ir►
regard to proinotion ; and this, the Editor can

conscientiously declare, he has head cuiitirrnt4f

generally by officers of all ranks. He feels that

he owes this explanation of the appearance of
Letter in Ills Paper, so contrary to his own per-
sonal knowledge of the conduct of the distill-

guished persons so gros.sly aspersed."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

I'EXTRAORDINARY APPLICATION AGAINST THE
LORD MAYOR.

UUlLDNALL.—Yesterday, nearly about the Close.
.of .the examinations at this Justice Room, Mr.
'Williams, a respectable Solicitor, a Member of
'the Common Council for %Valbrook Ward, and'
•one of the'Attornies of the Lord -Mayor's Court,'
en•ered within the bar, and bowing respectfully'
to Mr Alderman-CHRISTOPEUVR SMITH, the Sitting
Magistraie, said he applied to his Worship for
his protection against the vialent;contlact of the
Lord Mayor' of 'London, and -11;3 six servants,
who had turned him out of thellansion-house,ti
et 'nrmis, three several times. -As the nature of
the application must appear-to his Worship to be
very extraordinary, he would take the liberty to
explain the .whole circumstances of the transae-
ritios. " 1 alnl7,said he, " an Attorney of the
Lord Mayor'.Corirt, and in that cap4c•ty form a
part of his Lordship's household, And have a seat
at the Sword-hearer's ,table ; I have also occa-
sional business to transact in-the Mansion-house,
and have ,a particular drawer ;as,igned.to!my use..
',l is ,sitnat ion l have now held for upwards of 12.
years, ,and: puTchased it
.originally from the Court
of Common,Conticil for more than 2000, guineas.
It is therefore toy freehold for life, and I have
also the right ofedieuation. 'Dts circumstanced,.
I have ,a clear. and indubitable right of egress
and regress to and from the Mansion-house, and
of flinging • the priyileges.uniformly attached to
the office I have purchased,.all,which rights, dur-
ing the long p•eriod of 12 ,years, -and • under the,
Mayoralties ,ot
.1.2 successive Aldermen, your
lVor4sip.among.the number, have never in any
ihstanee been questioned. The present Lord
:Mayor, for what reasons, nr on what.grounds, I
am at a loss to divine, has thoughts proper to '
deny those rights.-to refuse my claim to a seat at
the Sword-bearer's table, and expel me from the,
Mansion4ouse. As I could not tamely submit
to this obstruction of my just. rights, I offered the
best peaceable •resistance in my power, where-
upon,his Lot dship called up his six servants, who,
by his older, be himself aiding and encouraging
them, forcibly turned me out of the Mansion-
house. This violence has been repealed three se-
veral dates. I .t4ink.it proper not to forego the
claim of my right,. and intend, therefore, to pro-
ceed at the usual hour, three o'clock, to the Man-
sion-house, and take my seat ; and I am advised,
and do now apply to your Worship, to grant me
the
,a,sistance of two ofEcets to proceed with me,
for the purpose:of protecting me in the exercise
of that right, as well as to be witness that I com-
mit an breach of 141 e peace. The application may
he novel and extraordinary ; but as my complaint
is against the Chief.Magisirate of the City, your
Worship must,he aware that I have no other tri-
bunal to which I can apply except to the Sitting
Alderman in this Justice-room."

agalti.

Mr. Alderman SMITH.—It is a very unpleasant
thing for one Magistrate to be acting against an-
other,, and it would be still more extraordinary
to employ the Officers of the City against the
Lord Mayor, its Chief Magistrate. •It there be
any dispute between his Lordship and
.yourself re-
specting the rights of tbelituation you.hold, that,
Appears to me 16.1 re a question of law, in which
it would not be proper for me to interfere. flis
Lordship...may consider the-Mansion-house to be
Isis house, and that .you have no •right to enter
there without his peratission. l know there have:
been sonic disputes respecting the privileges of
the Gentlemen of the Lord Mayor's house; and
I remember that the Sheriffs, at the time Mr.,
Kirby was in that office, refused to provide dinner
at the Sessions-house for.bis Lordship's house-
hold, and that the Lord Mayor refused to accom-

Inodate them on those days ; during my Mayor.
ally 1 did not rnter,into any dispute on the sub.

ject, but I know that .witl► regard to those dis-
putes there has been no legal decision. Your
remedy, in my:opinion, is by-action, to try the
%question.
.Mr, should be very unwilling to
press your worship to any unpleasant proceed-
ing ; whatever be,your,decision I shall ,bow to it;
it. is enough for me that have made the applica-

lion. With respect to actions, I have already
commenced ten against ,his Lordship and hip ser-

vants ; but am I, Sir, during the tlnll tedious de-
lay of the law, to be kept, forcibly kept, out of
.rights: It is not a compensation for damages
that I apply for from your bands, but a restitution
of my just right. As to the refusal of the She-

riffs to provide dinner for his Lordship's house,
bold at the Sessions, your Worship must see dm
it has no bearing upon the case. I complain tha

1 ant denied egress and regress to and Irvin the
Mansion-house, and forcibly expelled therefrom;
that a breach of the peace has been committed on
my person, and is likely to be repeated, and
apply to you, as the only acting Magistrate of the
City, to protect me, and grant me the assistance

of your officers to prevent the public peace front

bei.ng again broken.
Mr. Paine, the Clerk to the Magistrates, sug-
gested, that the Mansion-house being the house
of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Williams might be com-
mitting a trespass in entering it, in which case

his Lordship had a right, nioiliter manus iinposuit,

to compel him to retire. As there would be d
Court of Aldermen on Tuesday next, he would

advise Mr. Williams not to press for a decision on

this present application from a single Magistrate,

but to state hio complaint to the assembled body
of the Magistracy.
Mr. IVilliams—With great submission to your
'Worship's Legal Adviser, I contend that the Man-

sion-house is the house of the Lord Mayor quoad
hoc. It is the house of the Corporation. The
doors must be open at all hours for many public
purposes; Considerable business is transacted
there regarding the Cockers; Public Justice is to
be administered there ; so that it cannot be con-

sidtred as the private house of the Lord Mayor

only. But, Sir, my right of entry there is, in
fact, acknowledged by the Lord Mayor himself,
who has participated, and is participating in the

znoney taken out of my pocket for the purchase of

&his place. Some time ago, when any of cl►ese

.situations fell in, tile Tees and emolatnen'ts
,from the disposal of the appointments went to
thte Lord Mayor for the time being.; some got
much, some more, till at length the Common
Council determined to sell the situations, them-
•selves, and granted. an additional allowance, some
2;000/. or 3,000/, to the Lord Maynr, in lieu of
all such emoluments.

My application for pecuniary redress must, I
know, be made to the-Court of Common Coun-
cil; with the Court of Aldermen I have nothing
to do. I have already said, lam not desirous of
pressing a decision ; if your Wordlip thinks it

necessary to consult the Court of Aldermen before
you choose to act, I, shall bow to that opinion,
and. retire.

Alttgistrafe—Certainly, Sir, I do not, in such
a case as this, thiuk it right to act solely o❑ my
own opinion, and shall therefore consult the Court
of Aldermen at their Meeting on Tuesday next.
Mr. XVilliams thereupon bowed respectfully to
the Alderman, and left the Office.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.

13ow•.STREET.—Yesterday morning Application
,was
.mane to RICHARD BIHNIR, Eq. from the
Duke•of York's house in St. James's Palace, for.
assistance, in consequence of a man having en-
tered • the house forcibly, and behaved in, a very
outrageous and violent manner. In consequence,
two officers were sent to York House with all,
possible speed, by order of Mr.,thastim, and in a
short time after the man.was brought to the Office,
when it appeared that the prisoner fosinn his way
to York !loose for the purpose of claiming relief
from his Royal Highness, for losses lie hattsusiaio-
ed in trade. Ile represented himself to be a coal
merchant, at Dover, in uhich business be had
turned 7,500/..; but owing to his having got into
an imfortimale 'connexion .with sonic rogues, he
•cle,,red b It 821. by his business ldst year ;
now, in debt in consequence, and he could, not hear
to see his witeand family want.
The Magistrate lamented his misguided and
Improper.
.conduct, and informed him, that in-
stead of his aprlying to such an illustrious per-
lonage,as the Duke of York, lie must apply to an
attorney or a magistrate, according to the nature
of the iranSaction. Ile also censured most se-
verely his conduct at the house of the Duke of
York, where he threatened to murder-all if tint
immediately admitted to the presence of his itoyal
Highness ; and his
.other violent conduct, when
taken into custody, by stripping off his clothes,
and desiring the soldiers to run their bayonets
through him, &c.

The prisoner acknowledged the impropriety of
his conduct, and in a very composed and goiet
manner promised not to be guilty of

-The Magistrate not considering him to he in a
deranged state, but that his conduct had proceed-
ed from a very•weak state of mind, and from
gross ignorance, combined with distraction aris-
ing from distress, did not detain hint in custody,
on his promising to leave London, and return to
Dover, and at the recommendation of Mr. 131 R.
NIE to apply to the Mayor of Dover for redress of
his grievances.
After lie had left the Office he passed York-
House quietly, and went over the Pagoda Bridge
in St. James's, Park to the 'Bell-public house in
York-street, where he lodges.

The first division of the 7th Regiment (Hus-
sars), the Marquis of Apglesey Colonel, arrived
in this City on Saturday last ; and on Monday
marched to the Seat of their noble and distin-
guished Commander, at l3eandesert, where they
were treated with an elegant Dejeune, consist-
ing of a profusion of Viands, from prime beef,
to the choicest game of every description ;
with strong old ale, &c. the Marquis join-
ing them in the Hall of his Mansion. Atter be-
ing thus nobly regaled, the division marched to
Stafford, on their route to Manchester,•after giving
a.hearty volley of three rounds of cheers to their
brave Colonel. The Officers of the Corps, con-
sisting of Captain Lord Sefton, Captain Inge (of
Thorpe,) .etc. &c. dined with the Marquis on
Sunday, and made a shooting party in the woods
on Monday. The,second division of the corps
underwent the same hospitable ceremonial on
Tuesday. The Regiment will sell their old Water-
loo chargers at Manchester ; and have a new
mount on Young Horses.—(Lichfield Mercury,
Jan. 15.)

KIDDING.—The following robbery, which is
technically called kidding, was committed yester-
day, and information was given immediately after
at 'Union Hall Police-office. A boy, named
E. Evans, aged eleven years, was lent by his
mother, a laundress, residing at No. 7, Sala-
manca-place, Lambeth, with a bundle of linen
articles of wearing apparel of considerable va-
lue, to the ,house of a Mrs. Gregory, who re-
sides in the Borough. As. the boy was passing
the back of the King's Bench Prison be was
accosted by a tall man in black, who asked hint
if he had a parcel of shirts, &c. belonging to Mrs.
Gregory ?—The boy answered in the affirmative ;
and the fellow gave him sixpence, and told hint
to go to his mother and tell her to send the re-
mainder of the linen. When the boy arrived at
home be informed his mother, who suspected that
he had been robbed, and went to Mrs. Gregory
immediately, and there her suspicions were proved
to be too well founded.

CAUTION.-The public should be upon their
guard against a description of thieves shingly
termed Petermen, who have made a plentiful liar-
vest during the last few days, by cutting away
trunks and other luggage from carriages coming
into London.—There was a committal from Marl-
borough-street Office for this offence on Tuesday,
and on Thursday a trunk was cut from behind the
carriage of a Nobleman, between Highgate and
London, containing much very valuable linen and
other articles, which was unobserved until the
carriage arrived in London.

Sorcing.On Thursday afternoon last, a man
named John Hill, who resided in Ratcliffe, put an
end to his existence by cutting his throat from
ear to ear with a razor. His landlord instantly
made an alarm, and had the deceased taken to
the London Hospital; but on his arrival he was
quite acad.

LAW INITIAAGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, J. 15.

The bearing of causes before Hilary 'Term
commenced this morning.

ILLEGITIMACY.-RNIOHT V. KNIGHT.

This case arose from a demurrer taken by time
defendants, to a bill filed by the defendants, for
the purpose of perpetuating some testimony re-
lative to the birth 'of one of the defendants, the
so►a of Mrs. Knight, born at a time ►when it was
supposed that her husband could not be consi-
dered as having bad communication with her. It

was stated, that a commission for the purpose of
investigathig the fact had been already. ordered,
but which commission closed without having suc-
ceeded in the investigation, in conseqnence of
the wilful absence of a sister of Mrs.• Knight,
who having been in -attendance during the ac-
conchement of Mts. Knight, could give testimony
respecting the birth of the child, which took
.place about five years ego. The child was bap-
tised in Mary-le-Bone Clitoch, and his baptism
registered as --- Knight. It was contended,
that this child not being the legitimate son of
•Mr. Knight, for his real father-was well known*
would hereafter be entitled -to property, which
the husband of his mother, or his lawful heirs,
could not depriyetim; of, if the testimony of these
individuals, respecting his birth, could not be
preserved. Some very 'severe observations re-
specting the conduct •of Mrs, Knight were made
by the Counsel,-which.we fOrhear•to mention.
The Vica-CHANCELLOR observed, that :severe
expressions, such as had been used, although
they were contained in the instructions of Conn,
sel, conicl not tend much to illuminate the.case.
What the result might •be, which would follow
from the present bill's being overruled, was not
the question at present under consideration, but
whether the objection faked to the bill was suf-
ficient to invalidate it. 'After cleatly explaining
the legal faults. of the bill,!bis Honour was of,.oisi-.
nion, that it was too general, and that it there-.
fore could not be supported.---(New Times.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jars. is.

PNTTE23ON AND COMPANY V. EVANS.

This was au action for money laid out and ex-
pended for the defendant. The plaintiffs, who
are merchants at Quebec, bad received a letter
from the defendant, who is owner of a ship called
the William and Mary, authorising them to fur-
nish the Captain of the ship with any assistance
Ire might require. When the ship arrived at Que-
bec; the plaintiffs advanced money to pay for re-
pairs which she required, and took the Captain's
bill for the amount. The.bill was dishonoured.;
and the defendant having refused to pay the plain-
tiffs, the- present action was bronght. The de-
fence was, that the plaintiffs had their remedy
against the Captain ; but.the Court held that the

defendant was liable by his own letter, and the
Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs.— Da-

THE HIGH-STREET GANG.

We yesterday mentioned the conviction of
these execrable monsters in human shape ; the
leading facts were so disgustingly abhorrent, that
we abstain from entering into them.
immediately after receiving their sentence, they
were taken from the bar to the strong-room, in the
lower part of the Sessions-house—the officers and
constables had the greAtest difficulty in saving.them
from the enraged multitude. ~The business of the

Court was for several minutes at.a complete stand
from the general burst of indignation that broke
forth from every description of,persons in Court ; as
the wretches were conducted .from the bar, they
were hissed, hooted, struck at, and "various sorts
of filth thrown in their faces. All respect which
was due to the place was at an end until they
were brought into the strong. room. It being then
known that they were to be taken to Newgate, the
crowd, which was immense, began to take their
stations in the line of their passage., which :was
along Turnmill-street, Cow-CrOss, and Smith-
field. As the crowd began to increase, the shop-
keepers, seeing the danger, took the necessary
precaution of putting tip their window-shinters.
In tl►e mean tune, the populace were not less ac-
tive in preparing for attack ; the streets were.
ankle deep with mud, and there were both men
and women employed with brooms to collect it in
heaps ; from the end of Mutton-hill to Cow-cross,
there was not a man or woman to be seen without
an apron full of the most offensive offal, mud, cleat),
cats, dogs, rats, &c. No skew or public proces-
sion dould collect a greater concoufse of people;
the windows were crowded, the lamp-irons were
loaded with spectators, and every other place that
could command a view, but no person was seen
without something to throw at the culprits as
they passed.
During this time the criminals were preparing
themselves for the ordeal they were to undergo.
'They were all respectably dressed ; some of them
changed their clothet for worse, pulled their hats
over their faces, and covered the lower part with
handkerchiefs, and buttoned up their coats ; when
thus prepared, they were hand-cuffed two and two,
and a strong iron chain connecting the entire.—

In about half an hour attcrwards; a large Cart.
drawn by two horses, drove up to the back-door
of the Sessions-house, to receive the prisoners.—
Here Alr.Smart, the high constable, was stationed
to superintend the business ; he had a large posse
of constables under his command. There was
some straw in the cart to accommodate the pri-
soners, but this was all soon pulled out by the
people, one of whom tied up a broomstick at the
head of the cart, from which was suspended a
dead cat taken out of the 'kennel. Mr. Smart,
who is well known and respected, went round
and particularly requested they would desist from
throwing any thing until all the criminals were in
the cart., This they promised faithfully. At half
past two the door was opened, and they ascended
into the cart chained together. The constables
were drawn up on each side.
Before the wretches were well in the cart, the

public indignation burst out, and in au instant,
s if on a given signal, the attack commenced.—
The filth of the-street, which was very deep, was
thrown in their faces. The attack from all sides

was so general, that tbey'were almost instanter
nously covered with mud; the officers, to prvethe'itie
lUD
door, run into the Sessions•house, and shot )
door, but not so speedily as to escape berg
rit
splashed all over ; the constables deserted the ea 4
and left the miserable wretchel to theirinsigi
merited doom. They all stood up in a Cil;C
stooping their heads towards each other. roll:
cart moved on along 'Fornmill-street, amidst ,
immen,e concourse of people; they were pelted
with every sort of mud apt to filth.
When the cart drew np the felons' do°r'fol
Newgate, the constables formed all round it, aall
backed off the mob', until the wretches were
palled out, but so exhausted dot they were tiller
able to stand ; they lay like deal bodies one 51. a
another on the pavement, and were dragged
apparently lifeless.
