The plaintiff recovered 301. damages at' tlr
tints last Tenn, for a sea-battery, called by the ,
witnesses a starting, or an inflittioa of stripes with
the end of a rope. The defeadatit was Captain of
the ship, and it appeared in evidence, that. at the
time the panishment, was ordered, the plaintiff was'
drunk, and had behaved in a riotous, not to say
ow/loons, toi-toner. Loid ELLENBOROUGI-1 seemed .
to be of opinion at the trial, that the defendant
rni.tht have justified, or at least that it might be
a q•:estion, whether the castigation was not, de-
set ved and tequired, to preserve subordination in
the ship.
NIT.::::'CAIMFTT now MOVCII for a new trial, on

Mr. Comyx moved for a rule to stew cause
why the vet diet of this case should nut he set aside;
ind a new , grAntett. This infotina!ion was
tried b'elote the Chief Baron at the Sittings aittr
last term, and the deletithillt was .I.OlMd guilty of
sinoggling. It appeHrea that some Custom-house
Oilieers suspected the defendant, and seeing hint
one day with soine'pareels at Dov;.r, thcc chal-
lenged him, on whick he threw down one parcel
which did not contain any thing questionable,
and tried to 'make h s escape vitii two other
parcel's, but teas' prevented, on which ha snuck

French gloves. tie had offered the goods to a
carrier to bring to Lontlnni but the address he
gave was fictitious, for the purpose of .cieceiving
the Revenue ()racers.. The Jury,found a 'verdict
for the CoC oevn, and the defendant was convicted
in the IA penalties.. The Learned Counsel said,
he madeq the preheat application on the ground
that the information was not defended, in conse•
quenee of the defendant. not being aware of the
time of trial.

Mr. Baron dArtaow.—" I am astonished at
that. flow it it possible, when he had employed
Attotneyi: Sureiy. it. 'cannot be so."

Mr. CoMYN said-, his client' had applied to the
Attorney, who said the, trial ,was not
.to roan on
fur a considerable tine after the real period. It
kiras certainly caused by the negligence of the
Attorney.

The Loin etnc.r' BAkbx —" I remetnherithe
case, and I never' heart'. moyekcle.ar connection
of evidence than thatproduc,.(l ; indeed it was so
clear; that no man could po,ibly doubt the
validity of the charge.. I must say, Corny?),
I don't think a new trial.would be of ser,vice to
your client. 'like .arnount of the costs I don't
know—but bt! assured, if anew trial were grant-
ed, the defetfdant, would feel the eireers of thr
penalties and costs very heavily. Recollecting
the facts of .tire case as I do), I -.cannot grant this
motion."'

Yesterday Mr. MASH, the Loan ettaxaERLAIN'S
Secretary,, left town for Windsor, to make the
necessary arrangements for the Funeral of our ever-
; to-be-lamented PRLNCESS, and to receive the
tatmEN'S commands as to the Ceremonial.
The outer coffins are its a state of great for
wardness s—that for tite PRINCESS was nearly
: finished last night, as was also that for the In-
_ faut, and both will be completed in the course
of this day. They are'each covered with su-
perb crimson Genoa velvet, enriched with
beautiful nails, formed into pannels ; those on the
Parscss's coffin are silver gilt—the others are of
plain silver. The handles were not finished by
the artists employed ; they are said to be very
•-•-ttsagniticent. The inscription plates had not made
their appearance 'from the Herald's College. The
costs of the PRINCESS is of very large dimen-
sions ; it_is upwards of six feet in • length, and
'broad in proportion. The materials of both are
of the fittest Spanish malsokany. •
The Funeral of her Royal Highness will take
place at night tersevday next). The Bodies will
lie in state at Windsor in the same spot where the
elate Princess AMELIA. lay in state—Augusta Lodge.
His Serene Highness Prince Lsoroso is to at-
tcad the funeral as Chief Mourner. The presence
of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT is
compatible with his situation in the exercise of
the functions of Sovereignty. Those of the Royal
Dukes-who are in the kingdom .at this sad time
will, it is understood, attend the ceremony. All
the Cabinet Ministers will also assist, at the

mournful occasion.
The scene wilt be most agonizing—that agony,

the most dreadful of all, which is voluntarily en-
dured for the melancholy satisfaction of paying
the last duties to tits Remains of those most dear
to tu--of those from whom we are for ever parted
in this world--tbe last farewell on the threshold
of the grave before it finally closes upon all pros-
pect of happiness upon earth.

The ROYAL FAMILY have been most anxious
and attentive in their efforts to console the
afflicted Prince LEOPOLD. The PRINCE RE-
GENT would have gone to him immediately
Aker the event, bet Prince LEoroLD wished for
a few days to be spared the additional sorrow
that would be experienced bysering the Father of
the Princess. Yesterday, however, in the after-

noon, his Royai Highness went to Claremont,
and saw his disconsolate Son-in-Law. The par-
ticularsof this afflicting interview have not tran-
spired. The PRINCE REGENT returned in the
evening to Carlton-house.

The health of the QUEEN has visibly impaired
by the fatal event. Her MAJES:Y yesterday re-

ceived a visit from the Duke and Duchess of
GLOUCESTER, who had been since Sunday morn-

ng residing at Carlton-house, for the purpose of

soothing the melancholy of the PEuNc RE'GF.NT.
A portrait of the Princess, which was under the

bands of Sir TilomAs LAWRENCE, has been ordered

bottle in its unfinished state : it is placed in the

room tvhicti his Royal Highness constantly occu-
pies, and he sits before it) contemplating the well-

known lineament :
