CLERICENIPELL SESSIONS.

Yesterday'ATr. Blone, an eminent -statuary n
stone-rmson, of -Knightsbridge, was put to blr
on an indittment tor wilful and corrupt petjtny in
his answer to a Bill in Chancery, the ,pr,seiOtion
o( a mr. Verlander, late an apothecary at Knigh!s.
bridge, who had taken". a house ,and premises of
. Mr: Blom.
*The indictment being read at fill length Mr.
GURNEY, the defendant's. Counsel, said it was,
fully the wish. of his client and of himself, that the
trial shoul.l proceed, and foll'eviderice be examine,'";
conifleht as he Was, 1101, only of the pruippt
rpiittal. of his client, but of proving bryond all ques=
tint, that this prosecution was totally unfounded, and
originateti in alnaliciong and nefarious conspiracy.
But as it had been laid,dol.vn by the late and present
Chief Jthtice,s of theg'yßench, to .be the
bounden di4ty Ot Counsel for a defendant, tiOtwith-
standing any• opinion of his.own, or any confidence
of an acquittal, to lake the advantage ev,ry de-
feel in an in&ament r.:vourable to ,his client.--so be
most do in -die present case. He then pointed out
two ilaws—the one consisting in the sub,titution of
the -.word Al, in place of the word and; and the
other of the word himself, in place of u.e mono-
s) ltable :him:

' After an argument ofsome length from Mr.
ALLEY, the Court ruled with 'Mr. GURNEY, and
the defendant was acquitted.

Alter some part of the evi,lence :had • been gone

their Counsel, acknowledged their guilt, and threw
thenisel,,,es on the mercy of the Court.

tiken its course and terminated in a convidion, to

punishment, as -a warning to deter- others iron
similar offences. However, as they had peniteotly
icknowledged their guilt, and pledged- themst4e3
to abstain train similar .miscondutt in future, he

get her to raise•the price of their wages, as Journey..
Irmo Brush-makers.

•
It appeared from the statement of the Coun el
for the .prosecution, that. the .defendants were etu7
poyet.l by Mrs. Leir„ll3i-ush-rnatier, in the Strand,
as her journeymen ; that on the. day suited in ne
indictment, the prisoners, with-"Be.edle for their
spoke•min, told Mrs. Lear, that unless they sh3uld
• be allowed an advance of wages, (at -the same time
giving in :a hat of their advaliced price:;) they would.
not Continue to work with her a iy longer ; this was
refused ; the .consequence 01 v,hich was, that they
instantly struck, and have never worked limn that
hour to this.. He observed, that they were enabled
• to continue out of employ, : by the artifice of having
contrived to establish a fund, to eh,ible. them to
without wOrk, by aggrrgaiihg .therneliees to-
gether in A society, . under- the pliusiblunatne of
•`4 The Brush-makers' Burial Society.- ••
Mr.. Lear, the aon.of the prosecutrix, underwent,
a long examination, and his testimony wont corn-
pletely.to prove the refusal to work, and the de-
toacid of an increase of wages. The evidence of
‘ilt.l..,,Lear was to the same eft: &, as was that of
another xvitneis; The evioerice of the .clerk.of. the
society was next required, to priive that the defen-
dants had attended. the 'several meetings thereof,
with a' view of 'carrying Oo this conspirai y. •
In this, however,
.he failed, and •11,11..GURNET„, the

was attempted on Monday night, by a pr:s,ner un-

the officiating Givernor, golug round to lock op.at
the usual time, he missed his prisoner, arid the ut:
most consternation prevailed throughout the, pri:on.
The Governor immediately (ailed together. the turn-
ke)s and other servants employed in the pris,.n,
td the,lo,t man was forthcoming, or some informa•

and the lost prisoner was found concealed in a drying-

IL liitehall, Sept. 18, 1810.

• .
A dispatch, of hich the following ,is an extract,
was AM Sunday• Morning received at Lord Liver-
pool's Office, addressed- to his Lordship by Lieute-
. Liam. General Lord Wellington, K. B. &c. dated
Celorico, Aug. 29, 1510.
The.enemy opened their fire upon Almeida late
. on Saturday eight 'or early on Sunday morning, the
213i11 instant, and I am concerned to add that they
• obtained possession of the place in the course of the
night. of the 27th. I have no intelligence, upon
rely,.of the cans? of :its surrender. An
• explosion had been heard at, our advanced posts, and
I ob:eiVed od .Mcnday that the steeple of the church
was dkstrOyed, arid many houses of the town un:
roork.d. had a • telegraphic communication with
the-GOVernnr, bin unfortunately the weather did
nor allow pt our using. it on Sunday, or dciiing- a
great-part of Monday, and when the weather clear-
ed on that day it was obvious that the, Governor, was
in communication with the enemy. . • -
Alter I was certain of the WI of the phice, 1
• nmved the infantry of die army again into the val-
ley of the Moodego, keeping a division upon Guarda,
and the outpoits of the cavalry at Alvered. The
. enemy. attacked our picquets twice yesterday in the
• morning but feebly, and they were repulsed in,the
aftrrtiocni, however, - they . obliged Sir Stapleton
Cotton to draw in his po,ts to this side of Fraxedas.
Captain-Lygoa, of the 16th Light Dragoons,. -was'
wounded in the morning, and two men of the
Royal Dragoons were wounded in the afternoon.
• A picquet of the regiment made a gallant and 'suc-
cessful charge upon a party of the enemy's infantry
and cavalry, and tnok'some ptisOners.
The second corps under General Regnier has made
no movement of any ithportince since i had the
honour of .addressing your r Lordship- last. A pa-
- frole, -liowe rer, belonging to this corps tell in. with
a squairon of Dragoons, consisting of one droop of
the 13th British; and one troop of the 411 Portu-
guese, belonging to Lieutenant-General Hill's corps,
under the command of Captain White of the 13ih,
and the whole of them were taken, %vitt) the ex-
ception of the Captain an, one man, who,, I since
understand, have been killed. I inclose the copy
of Biigadier-General Fatie's report to Lieut. Gen.
Hill' of this tatir, which it appears was highly ore:.
ditable • to Captain White, and the allied troops en-

gis.a(.l.
No movement has been made, and nothing of
any importance has occurred in Es'remadura since
I addressed your Lordship last.
In the North, the enemy moved a small body of
infantry and :•a‘ airy on the 20th to Aicanezas ; cut
General Silveira moved towards theta from .Brdgan-
za, and they immechwely retired.
SIR, Escallos de Cima, August zz, rBro.
I have the honour to report to you,'.that the
troop Of the 13th Light Dragoons, and one of the
4.h Portuguese Dragoons, forming the squadron
under the command of Captain White, of the 13th
at I.4doera, this 'morning tell in with a patrole, of
the enemi's.dtagoons; consisting ot one Captain,
two Subalterns, aud- about sixty men. Captain
White ibriuna:ely succeeded in coining up with
them, when he immediately charged and overturn-
ed ttirn and the result .has heen, the capture of
two Lieutenants, three Serjeants, six Corporals,_one
Trumpeter, and. fifty P6vates, and about fifty
Horses. The Captain was also a prisoner, but es-
caped cluriing the bustle oit :foot.
I, am happy to say, this has been performed with-
out the loss of a man on our sides. Six of the
enemy. are wounded., Captain White expresses his
obligation .to Major Vigoreux of the 38th Regiment,
who was a Vol'unteer with 'him, and to the' A.lferes
Pedro Raymund° di Oliviera, conimanding the Por-
tuguese Troop (whit') he states w have done its
duty extremely well, and to have shewn much gaN
lantry) .and also to Lieut. Turner, of the 13th
Light Dragoons'„ to whose activity and courage he
reports himself to be indebted for several of his pri-
soners.' I: trust the whale will be considered to
have merited the'approbation of the Commander-in

',have the honour to be, &c.
