THE ARTS.

We feel great pleasure ,in finding •that,
withstanding
.the prejudice in favour of 'Musical
Foreigners, the Fine Arts of this Country are en-
couraged by several distinguished Patrons of the
higher orders. A recent instance- of this patro-
nage has occurred in consequence of the just
and general admiration which has been excited
byMann:es noble picture of Belshazzar-'s Feast.
The ingenious artist has, we understand,- re-
ceived a commission from the Marquess of Buck-
INGHAM to paint a work representing the de--
struction, or rather the entombing, of Pompeii, by
Vesuvius.. It is said that the artist, with the
enthusiasm of real genius, intends to visit the -me-
morable scite, in order to render more ample
justice to the subject.
Our countryman, DAITE, has obtained the
most flattering encouragement. at Petersburgh,
where he now remains, in order to take portraits
of most of the distinguished Personages in that
capital. The number of these portraits will be
considerable. lie has already sent several of
them to this country, to be assigned to our best
Etigvaveres and -they are?-e-xecwted—in -styfi!9 .
which shews that the Artist has much improved
by practice and expel ience.
M. W. Swan', has nearly finished a picture,
which is likely to.attraCt great attention at the
next annual display in the Royal Academy. The
subject is an Author reading his Play .to the
Performers in the Green-room. Er.r.ls•roi,-, as
-
manager, is sitting in judgment on the merits of
the dramatic production, and spirited portraits .
are introduced of all the present Performers of the
Drury Lane Company, and of others who have
belengedlo it. It may be inferred from the atti- •
tude and expression of the supposed Author that
his ,work is a Tragedy, as he exhibits a kind .of
enthusiasm, as if under the immediate inspiratlox
of the Muse. The figure and expression are unaf-
fected. and highly interesting, and the whoi•
composition does honour to the Artist and to the
ENGLISH ScnooL.

Mrs. SIDDONS was in a private box last night
at Covent Garden ',llheatre, and being recognize 4
by the audience, received a very gratifying tri—
bute of respect. The Duke of GLOUCESTEtt also
was.present and received a warm reception.
The lovers,of laughter, who have not .wit.
nessed MATHEWS'S new Adventures, should not
fail to receive that gratification.—We may venture
to•say that they are more whimsical than those
of any preceding season. The
.two acts at, the-
table are full of strong and ludicrous.Characterso,,
and are attributed to the masterly, prolific.
amusing pen of Mr.' JAMES Smurn. • The' last

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

NAYI;E~.

. .

Sir 'FL WtesoN briefly stated the object of the
motion he had given notice of for this day. In a
letter which he had good reason to know passed
between Sir Wm—A:Court and the Neapolitan
34iniSter for ForeiTsn Affairs, relative to the in-
strueLions given to the Commander of a squadron
in the Neapolitan seas, he, conceived that prin-
ciplee were laid down incompatible with the law
of nations, and he therefore thought it his duty
to tiring it under the attention of that House.—
The paragraph in' Sir Win. A'Court's letter to
vihicli he particularly wished to direct the atten-
tion of the House' was, where, after stating the
iseterttion of the. British Government to maintain
a strict neutrality, Le went on to say, " it will
interfere in no way with the affairs of this coun-
try, except in such way as interference may be
reedered necessary by personal insults or injury
Leine; offered to the Kine or the Royal Family."
The letter added--" the undersigned flatters
hisuSelf that nothing- will occur_ to interrupt the
yeeceful dispositions of the two countries."—This
reservation; the House would remark, came very
well, Whilst we had a squadron to guard the sea
line; whilst the Austrians attacked the land line,
that being the very time when the Royal Family,
tseukt be most likely to meet with insult, if they
did not conduct themselves properly. The Hon.
Member mentioned the circumstance of a Con-
vention- having ensued between two of the -per-
sonages assisting, at- the late conferences at
Troppau, one of- whom was the first Minister
of one of the leading persecuting Powers,
in seh:ch the possibility of a change of Minis-
try taking place in this country was discussed.
On that occasion. he would pledge himself to be
able to prove, that one of the parties said, that
should any thing of the kind take place, it was
resolved by the Allied Powers to treat England
in the same way as Naples. Upon its being re-
marked that, that would be found difficult, since
Napoleon had in vain attempted it, it was replied
that the course would be to treat it as a pestife-
rous nations by restraining the intercourse of all
other nations with her. The Noble'Lord oppo-
site seemed to think this impossible, but many
things' had happened in these days which were
thought impossible. Leaving this topic, he must
observe that this kind of menacing neutrality was
more calculated to exasperate the nation against
the Royal Family than otherwise, as they ap-
peared to be the' property of a foreign nation
rasher than belonging to their own country. The
conduct of Mr:-Pitt in 1792, an authority for
which the Noble Lord might be supposed, to have
some respect, was widely different towards the.
French nation from that pursued by the present
Government towards the people of Naples. He,
while anxious to interfere in behalf of the King,
was careful to avoid every thing that might give
offence to the French Government, and 'anxious
to the last to leave an opening for communicating
with. the French convention. How, indeed, could
lie act otherwise; he who Was the representative of a
people, who, before a regular tribunal, had ad-
judged one Sovereign to die (he believed few
now denied the justice of that sentence, if they-
lamented that the execution had taken place,),
arid had expelled another Monarch ffom the
Throne, in consequence of Ivhich the House of
Brunswick had reigned in England ! He did not
see that the people of Naples ought, to be viewed
as hostile to the King. For he would not be-
lieve the Allied-Monarchs, when they represent-
ed him to have declared against that Constitution
at Laybach, which he had _sworn to support
while at Naples. The documents called for
ought to he produced, that it might be known
what- was the real character of our neutrality.
This country ought to have expressed strong
abhorrence at the principles laid down by
the Allies. This became more necessary, when
it. was remembered • what was the whole
charge against the people of Naples :When-
it was objected to them that:they- had adopted
the Spanish Constitution; he would ask the Noble
Lord if the King of Spain
.had not pre-
,viously subscribed to- the Spanish Constitution,
in order to secure the succession to the Crown
of Spain. lie begged to ask what %'as the curse
-of- the Spanish Constitution ? Had it not been
v~orktug in Spain for eighteen months without
producing any consequences dangerous to other
States, and. had it produced any evil effects since
it had been in operation in Naples? He vindi-
cated the principles of the Carbonari at consi-
derahle dength, and though far from defending
-the assassinations that had taken place, lie could
not view them but as the natural results of a
despetie system. He commented- on the ambi-
tion of Austria, and maintained that the perma-
nent military, occupation of Naples as a tete de
pont evas her object, trod had been .so -for years,
and he was confident that she would' not easily
relinquish the hope of- obtaining ran establiehMent
in the' Southern part of Italy.. He described
Austria to have extorted the sum-ef five millions.
yently from Naples, and declared It to be his
°pi:sloe that - the Noble Lord ought to have
intesfered- as soon- as ha -had' teatrthe An-
etrian Declaration, and declared that nothing
should induce him to.suffer the military. occppa-
tion,of Naples to take place. .He exulted in the
situation in' which the Austrian army- was placed
by the advance of the PiedreiOntese 'troops, and
calculating on its probable destruction, consi-
dered the knell of despotism to have sounded.
For this country;Shough he felt for its embar-
rassments, yet-he should• be ashamed of his coun-
trymen if 'he felt- not assured that they would
submit to make any sacrifice in such a cause, to '
mitigate the misfortunes of, others who were suf-
fering ia the cause of liberty. lie eulogised the
conduct of the Prince Regent of Naples, and
finished by moving an, address to his Majesty,
praying that he would be graciously pleased to
give- directions that there,should he laid before
the House:a Copy of a Letters dated Ft-b.- 11,
18 1, from Sir W. A'Court to the -Neapelitan
Minister for Foreign Affairs e together 'with the
/leper of -any'lnstructiens sent- out be- Govern-
ment, on- which the same-was founded.

Lord CASTLEP.F.AGH Said,that hi rishig to ad-

dress himself to the speech of the Hon. and Gal=
lint Officer whb had just sat down, he should feel
it his duty in the. first instance to make a few
remarks on those affairs that came within the
scepe and hearing of the Circular. There were
many things. in that speech Oct which he should
not feel it stece&sary to occupy the time of the
House. It was not his intention again to serve
up that rich repast of private conversation with
which they had been regaled, much less to dwell
on those prophetic visions of the Gallant Officer,
which, like most of the divinations that -came
froTn that side of the House, were not to be con-
sidered exactly in the light of gospel. He ap-

rchended that in order to induce the House to
vote for the production of such a document, it
would be necessary to substantiate some grounds
of a practical nature. If the object of the Gal-
lant Officer was. merely information, he could
assure the House that the letters.publisned were
faithful copies. If the principles of that docu-
ment were objectionable, then there might be
some grounds, for calling for it, or even if the
application of these principles were objection-
able. But here he must beg leave to pro-
test against the Mode of argument adopted
by the Honourable:,Tand Gallant Officer,
that violence against the Royal Family was
meant in a political sense. With respect to
the general principles Which the Hon. and Gal-
lant General introduced, in his endeavours to
entangle the'are-°useents in the opinions of Mr.
Pitt, he should only say, that the esviadona of
those opinions, he could easily conceive, applied
to such a country 'as France. But so far from
interference being discountenanced at that day,
that not even on the opposite side of the House
was it discountenanced, for there Was no man
would have more sincerely wished than Mr. FOK
to avert that horrid deed that had stained the
aunals of France, and set her, both in a moral
and religious point of view, in .a state of hostility
‘ivith all the other nations of .Europe.—(Hear,
hear.)—And when he heard talk of the Garbo-
nari, whose virtues he was ready to uphold, and
of _assassinations, it occurred to him that Eng-
land had 'been quite exempt, at least from at-
tempts of this natures--(Hear,.:heai, hear,)—
arid. that assassinations hod grown out of
secret ;political associations. If the calami-
tous circumstance should ever -occur, and
this country should make an interference, the
Ministers would Undoubtedly be exposed to the
animadversions of that House if they carried the
principle too far. No persons on the face of the
earth were more interested than the Neapolitans
themselves in preVenting the stain and odium
which would have been affixed to their cause if
any personal violence had' been effered to the
Royal Family of Naples. • The people of Naples
were better judges of their ownaffeirs than the
Gallant Officer (Sir It. Wilson),and they consi-
dered the order a protective one, and it was so
acknowledged to Sir W. A'Cou.it by every class
of persons at Naples. If the Gallant General-
considered that any thing growing out of that
order would occasion a community of council or,
interest with o'6 -Allied Powers, he was very
much mistaken. The orders in question were I
issued before the Congress at Troppau, and
issued at the same time with the' declarations
of neutrality, Sir William A'Conrt having or-
ders
to make them 'public whenever he -Shodld I
think it necessary for the furtherance of;
the object in View, viz. the safety of- the
Royal Family. Sir' A'Court did I
not conceal his instructions from the existing
Government• of Naples, and at the period the.
first communi`cation of the Allied Sovereigns'
reached Naples, they then considering it might',
be advantageous for thern.to state to the people
in Ni hat position they, stood with respect to the'
Government of Great Britain, Sir W. A'Court
did accordingly furnish to the Duke de Gallo
a note to produce, if he thought fit, lo the Nea-
politan' Parliament, which ivas afterwards done.;
This was an' instruction issueti without any 1
cdncert whatever with the Powers at Trop-
pan. When-Sir Graham Moore-sailed in Jolv
or August, the Possibility of time Royal -Family
having occasion to avail themselves of its pro
tection was considered, and instructions' were
given accordingly. Herhad no hesitation in ac-
knowledging, that early in September information
had reached his Majesty's Government of 'special
danger which might be apprehended to the Royal
Family, and special instructions were according-
ly sent to the Commander of our naval 'force,
but so strictly guarded, that they could not pOs-
sibly be perverted to purposes which were not
intended, and whatever might grow out of it, no-
thing could lead unto any identity of position with
the Allies as to the affairs of Naples. Though
Ministers were separated from the Allies at Trop-:
pan and Laybach, and though they had protested
against the gene7al peinciples laid down by them,,
yet in the particular case they had acted on a prin-
ciple of our own, and %Odell could nut involve us
an iota further than it expressed. The gallant
Officer had made the gm-eat military diseovei'y,
that the permanent possesSion of, Naples was
the sine qua non of the Austrian Government. It
was rather in a sit-nslar manner that they pro-
ceeded to attain that .object, and int had occur-
red to a countryman of-his (Lerd Castlereagh's),
would haVe been denominated a blunder, for they
were in- quiet possession of Naples by conquest,
and yet they quitted it, and not only invited
back the Sovereign .Of Naples, but allowed him
to, orgatiiie that very army which the Austrians
had before beaten 'in the field ; and now, ac-
cording to the gallant General, the summing
up of this deepelaid scheme of conquest on
the part of the Austrians
.was, that they were
treading back their steps, whilst all the great.
Powers of Europe were looking on •and ,watch-
ing her, and 'not one of them bet was strict-
ly determined not to let her attain her oh-
ject. Time Gallant General had come as an'
evidence to that House in fairour of the innocency
of the Carbobari, and as likely to purify the po
litical atmosphere of the political world ; but,
notwithstanding his. respect for the authority of:
the Gallant General, he thought himself justified
in describing them, and all secret, societies, as:
ruinous to the peace and good order of society-7
and it was no recommendation of that society to.
say- of it, that in its origin it was a conspir.acy

to overturn all the established governments of
Italy. He believed in his conscience that the
Austrians had ho intention to extend their domi-
nions iu any part of Europe.
Mr. A'CounT said, the Note which had been
so much censured was received by the Neapoli-
tan Government with the loudest applause, and
he considered it no. small praise to the Ministers
that with all the industry displayed, there was
only one point in all thealfairs of Naples on which
a motion could be foundcd in that Hou‘e.
Mr. C. lIL-rcntxsoN \visited the Noble Lord
would compare the situation of England as it was
in 1792, and the opinion which was then enter-
tained of her by all the nations of the ►►'brld,
compared with the estimation in which she was
now held, there not being a country in Europe
which did not view the policy olthe Cabinet of
this country now with detestation and horror.—
The Noble Lord bad asked what was the object
of the motion. He (Mr. C. H.) did not know
how far his• Gallant Friend's motion might have
the effect, but it undoubtedly had for its object
that which was the wish of every one—that the
liberty of the Neapolitans mi,..;ht be protected,
and on those grounds he should support the mo-
tion of his Gallant Friend.

The lion. Mr. WARD wished a neutrality to be
clear and decided ; not only physical, but moral ;
and he also wished that our opposition to the
'plans of the Poly Alliance had been more clearly
and positively expressed- from the beginning.
The most unfit position for England to have
taken, was, skulking in the rear of the Allied
Sovereigns. :Affection to oar own laws and
li-
berties should have made us take a decisive part
in favour of the Neapolitans. What business
had these Sovereigns to call upon an independent
Sovereign to give an account of the Constitution
he had given his subjects ? They might as well
have sent for George I V. to give an account of the
government of his nation ;, and then sent him back
at the head of W 9,000 Cossacks or ilandours,
to destroy the Constitution of this Country.
—What these Sovereigns considered legitimacy,
was treason by our laws. Our Sovereign reigned
by the consent of hid people'; and, therefore, the
King of England was no. fit associate for these
Monarchs. How could the Autocrat of all the
Rassias complain of military despotisms,he whose
whole government waS a military despotism ; so
much so, that when he sent for an algebraist, or
any other learned man, he would give him Mili-
tary rank, and clap two epaulets upon. his
shoulders. Was this the man to be afraid (iu
conjunction with his good brother of Austria) of
a military despotism to .be established by the
Lawyers and Lazzaroni of Naples ? The ques-
tion was not whether the new, Constitution of
Naples was good or bid ; but whether they had'
a right to tnake :a Constitution for them-
selves. The Emperor of Austria. was a task-Master
.in Milan;-and, therefore, he wished to become
the invader of Naples. He was afraid (hat the
oppression of his Government would be seen
more strongly in the Noeth of Italy, by the free-
dom of the South. He believed that the best
and wisest men of. Italy belonged to the Carbo-
nari. The Austrian iron yoke in Italy could
.never cease to. be hated throughout Italy. All
that could be said itefavour of the Emperor of
Austria was; that he disliked a Constitution esta-
blislaed by the Carbonari of Napli.s, becanse'he
was troubled by Carbonari in Milan. It *as
absurd to think otherwise than that the whole of
citlized Europe would soon obtain for" them-
selves a mitigated form of Government.

Lord...l.lll,7ssEr,L.wished to knOw if the Noble
Lord considered that there was any Tre,aty on
the table which pledged us to guarantee the pos-
session of Loinbardy.and Venice to the House
of :Austria. .•

Ldrd CASTLIMEAdI4 ,said, that posiession was
• guartuiteed by General Treaties.
Mr. CANNING defended the neutrality adopted
by this Government, to which he was a party;
aryl he declared 'that the determination of this
Government was early taken .to provide for the
speedy removal of the I; oval Family. of Naples,
had danger threatened th:ara. That was a point
of policy which men on both sides of the House
must approve or; God be thanked that the cir-
cumstance (lid not arise which would have obliged
our Ambassador, and our Admiral at-Naples, to
act up to their instructions in saving the Royal
Family of Naples. It is impossible taa consider
the. opinions of the Hon. General (Sir R. Wilson)
and not see that the tendency of the policy he had
recommended was not an unqualified recommenda-
tion for going to war. The meaning of the mationiras
not for the production of a paper ;-bu tits object was
a divit,ion for treace.orayar; 'voice was for peace,
and therefore -he hoped the House woald reject
this motion. No man .wished more than.him to
see the blessings of real freedom and -good govern-
ment extend(l over Europe. lie agreed with
• his lion. Friend (Mr. Ward) that this principle
was extending over Eurojie. Whatever opinion
he might 'come, to in his closet as to the, fate of
Charles 1., he would never utter it in that House,
or any where else in public, as a recommendation
to a People struggling for its liberty as a lawful
cririt'e"—Tfe'6767je-C-fr!d to 'av turned. , nekociati6n,
because it was only disgrace if we did not mean
to push it to the last extremity of war if it should
be necessary ; and he would put it to the
House, whether they would, at the present•
moment, consent to going into such a war as
this, to which no one could see the end. If
in his political life there was any thing he prided.
himself upon, it was, that Ilia was the hand
that higfied the Treaty with Spain, when she was,
'deprived of her Government, and was writhing
the clutch of the Conqueror. Du spite of pro-
phecies and menaces, he supported that Alliance,.
and rejected a-separate treaty of peace, unless the
Insurgents of Spain were included in the treaty.
Such was the conduct of the. present Government,
in- Whicli there were' men 'whose hearts beat as
high for liberty as those who talked loudest about
it. No sound or practical Statesman would enter.
into_the contest on the part of Naples, unless he'
saw that the•interests of his own country would be
served by it. His heart adjured the Manifeslo of
the Allies as much as the heart of any man ; but
let us not enter into an interminable warfare, in
contradiction_ to'the interests of the nation. If
they did, they- would be a* unfaithful Parlia--

atent----a disgraced natio, if Craving tlfeted tie
field, they furled their banners-before the contest
was decided, admitted that a war against
opinion must fail ; but before we went to war for
opinion, he must know whetlier that opinion be
correct. Those who called on their " merry
men all" to fight for the British Constitution in
Naples, were more than busy whispering at home
that the British Constitution was not worth hav-,
!)—ln this country,th2 British Con-
stitution had been a plant of slow
.growth, and
struggled with many obstructions ; and the at-
tempt to transplant it to other lands by the sword
or by persuasion, was wholly visionary. For
God's sake let them not be.so pedantic as to sup-
pose,- that all the political and social enjoyments
might not be found under other technical modifi-
cations of Government ! Let us, therefore, pre-
serve a most perfect neutrality, both in word and
deed.

Sir .1. MACKINTnSH rose to remove, the obstacles
which the Right lion. Gentleman had thrown in
the view of the Helm; and not to refute the
arguments he had used. He disclaimed, on the
part of his lion. Friends, the opinions attributed
to them. It appeared to him, that the Right
Honourable Gentleman now and. then retired
from Office, that he might eulogise front a com-
manding situation, his Majesty's Government.
The Right Hon. Gentleman had addressed him-
self wholly to the feelings of the house, to the
loVe of
.peace.-J-The Hon. Gentleman con-
tended, that the'Position of the Right, lion. Gen-
tleman, that remonstrance must inevitably be fol-
lowed by war on the part of this country,was un-
founded. There was not a Cabinet in Europe
which did not furnish instances of amicable re-
monstrance. Would 'any body contend that re-
monstrance on tlth part of this. country, and of,
France, six -months ago, would have liad no.
effect ? Way France and England fallen so low
in the scale of nations' that their remonstrance,
unless followed by a'declaration of 'war, would
have no effect ? Was this-the result of the high
station and title which We had assumed of deli-
verers of Europe, and of protectors of Austria ?
lie denied that the object of himself and his
friends Was war ; their object was 'peace. They
did not blame Ministers for attempting to pre-
serve neutrality ; what they,complained.of was,
that the- Noble Lord and his Right. Honour-
able Colleagues did not preserve ,an honest
neutrality.—(Hear, hear, hear !) 'With
spect- to the letter of Sir William A'Court, and
ills s'atements of, the grounds of our mel ra-
lity, he wished to call the attention of the ',.\,T,)ble
Lord to*this subject. had' not all Europe read
with indignation the conduct of` the self-consti-
tuted Tribunal of Monarchs at Laybach towards
the unfortunate King of Naples, who had not
been suffered to speak alone with his Minister,
but had been forced to communicate the senti-J
ments put into his Mouth by the Allied Sove-1
reigns? it Was to these Monarchs that. he in
fact was a prisoner. We had assisted, though
unintentionally, to place him in that situation.
The Allied, Sovereigns were the parties who had
insulted him, and we were bound to protect\hirn
from future similar insults. The lion. Gentle-
man proceeded to condemn the conduct of the
Allied Sovereigns, which, he said, was an attack.
Oil the rights of nations generally,'and resembled
that of the Allies aga.inst France in 179'2.
Mr. CaN'snao explained.
Sir Roll; RT WI Lsas begged time indulgence of
the Houss .for a few obserVations in reply. The
Right liou,Member for Liverpool had stated,that
his object in bringing forward tins motion Arac to
instiwte- an armed negociatiOn, which would ter-
minate in war. His wish was,, that Ministers
aught interpose to prevent war with Naples.—
Haying adverted to the prominent points in de-
bate, he concluded ,by observing, that as the
Nobles Lord seemed to consider the letter to Sir
N. A'Court written in time spirit' of peace, he
should not pre,3 his motion.—(Hear.)—He ac-
cordingly withdrew it.
The CHANCELLOR oT the EXCHEQUER brought.
in a Bill for 4.-naking further provisions for a gra-
dual resumption of payments in cash by the Bank
of England, which was read the first time, and
ordered to he read a second time to-morrow.

Mr: BARING intimated his intention to offer a
few observations, when the Bill came before the
Committee.

The CHANCELLOR of the E;KCILEQUER then-

COUrtAGEOUS AND SUCCESSFUL ITUMANITI%-.--
Last
.Saturday: as two men *belonging to the
Free packet-, Capt. -RonEnTs, were rowing
boat from the pier of Dunmore to the large
strand, in front of the Hotel, the boat capsized ;
one of the men fell out, the other remaine.:l with.
the boat, but could atf,,pll no assistance to his
companion, as both oars fell into the water.=
The poor fellow who was thown out, must in-
evitably have Perished, had not James
,Murphy,.
Esq.(eldest son of Luke Murphy, of Dun-
.more, instantly stripped and, swam
:a
distance of three and four hundred 'yards
to his assistance.. Mr. Murphy succeeded in, get-
ting him on one of the oars, but from the :exhaust-,
ed state the nan was in, he was very soon washed
off and sunk. After a 'considerable time he rose
to the surface, just where Mr. Murphy' eras.---
With a kind of instinct, the sailor seized his de7
liverer by the neck, and entwined his legs about,
his body, so as to preven tall rarther exertion. Both
seerie.l ready to sink, when, at this critical
moment,,spectators from the shore had just suc-

tHE SING V. GLORGZ MILLE}i,
This was an indictment against the defendant,
for feloniously killing and slaying Mr. Joseph
Hoare, at Chatham, on the 31st of October last.
The defendant had never been in custody,• but
submitted himself voluntavily to take his trial,
upon the Coroner's Inquisition.
It appeared in evidence, that on the day%timen..
iimmed in the indictment, time Defendant and the
deceased, who had-never met before,. had spent
the evening, with several other persons, ri:t the
hotel at Chatham, in the course of which, in con.:
sequence of some ditiemence of opinion upon Ecitne
ordinary topics of conversation, the defendant
called
.the deceased. (a man upwards of 70): an
old scoundrel. Upon the suggestion of some of
the party the Defendant made an apology
for this insult, shook hands with the
ceased, and they 'appeared to be good friends-
Some little time, after the deceased, in a loud and
taunting tone, bragged that he had never quarreli7
ed witlm any man without making Imimu apologite.
This occasioned a renewal of altercation with the
defendant, 1111011 which the latter flung his hat
at the deceased, but missed then un-
fortunately laid hold. of a pewter pint,. which
he hurled at his:head„ and the blow took erect ots
the left temple of the deceased, and inflicted au,
'ere wound which bled Profusely; A Surgron
sent for-, %vho_dresseil 61 wound and au-en:led
the deceased to his home. This Surgeon at-,
tended him until the 3d of November., up,tu
which time he appeared to be doing extremely
well,. but on that ddy symptoms of erysipeiame
and fever appeared, which rendered further ad-
vice necessary, and a physician was called in„
U.nder whose- care be fingered until the f)tim,4l-mmt
he expired.

White, who deposed to the transaction at th.e.
hotel; Fry, the sm.goon, and Dr. Vaughan,
the physician. Both the fatter Gentlemen were
decided in their opinion that the blow was'. not.
the proximat.6' cause of the death—the folnl«..t-'
thinking that it Was caused entirely by the
sipelag, and the latter; that it wets the'i.oultCAT''
general. health, and aggravated by int,,ti:V,
mental agitation.

The Learned Judge stopped the defendant-5-
Couniel, and put it to the Jury, whether, upon
such evideribe, they were of opinion that the'.
death was occasioned by the act el the LL

The defendant's deportment was most belittip..;

affected. Both parties were men of property,
and moving in respectable circles.
