SURREY SESSIONS, OCT. 22.

These sessions commenced at Newington, before
R. HEDGER, Esq., Chairman, and a fell bench of
Magistrates.
Samuel Simpson, a builder at Kennington, was
charged with assaulting Ann Simpson, on the 17th
of August last.
Anne Simpson, the prosecutrix, on the day above-
mentioned, occupying a house of the defendant, re-
ceived a notice to quit. She went to his house to
learn the meaning of such conduct, when the de-
fendant commenced a volley of the grossest abuse,
and ultimately took up a hand-saw and struck her
several times with it, knocked her down, and while
on the ground kicked her repeatedly, until the
whole of the neighbourhood cried shame against the
defendant.

Two witnesses fully confirmed the above evidence.
Mr. TRESIGER, for the defendant, called three
witnesses, all of whom positively swore that the
prosecutrix struck the defendant first, and her
language was of the foulest description.
The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, observed, that
the contradictory evidence adduced in this case was
truly disgraceful. The Jury would, by their verdict,
show to whom they gave credit.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the
defendant was fined 201., which being unable to
pay, he was taken into custody by the Governor of
the prison.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, DEC. 10.

WATTS V. EBDEN AND OTHERS.
The bill filed in this cause prayed an account for certain
goods shipped for the Cape of Good Hope, and sold there
by one of the defendants. The principal defence relied on
in the answer was, that the subject matter of the suit had
already been arranged, inasmuch as it had, with all other
matters and things in difference between the parties, been
submitted to arbitration by them. On the part of the
plaintiff it was now insisted that the arbitrators had not
taken the accounts in question into their consideration, and
the evidence of the arbitrators was offered, for the purpose
of showing that they refrained from including the accounts
in their award.
Mr. HEALD objected to the reception of suck evidence,
upon the authority of a decision in the Court of Common
Pleas, which expressly declared, that where the terms of
the award were clear and intelligible, the evidence of an
arbitrator ought not to be admitted, fur the purpose of
explaining them. If this salutary rule were not strictly
adhered to, the Learned Gentleman contended that the
most pernicious results must follow. No man could say
to himself that he had arranged his disputes by submitting
them to arbitrators, and by procuring their award, if the
whole question could afterwards be opened in the manner
now sought to be resorted to.
Mr. BICEERSTETH referred to the award itself in the
present case, from which it cloarly appeared, that the ar-
bitrators specially excepted the amounts for which the bill
prayed. The authority cited by Mr. Heald could there-
fore not apply here.
His HONOUR was of the same opinion.
Mr. HEALD could not under these circumstances carry
the case any farther.
Another and a serious difficulty now presented itself,
as to the manner in which the amount could be
taken, the goods had been sold at the Cape of Good
Hope, for rix dollars, stivers, and other Dutch monies;
and it was urged on the part of the defendants, that
there was no way of converting this coin into English
money, there being no regular stated rate of exchange be-
':wean -England and the Cape of Good Hope , and that,
theref:re, it would be impossible to take the account prayed
for by the bill.
The plaintiff's Counsel hoped to be able to get over this
difficulty in the Master's office, when the account was be-
ing taken.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR thought the best way would be
to charge the parties with having sold the goods at the
Cape of Good Hope, and then it would be incumbent on
hem to discharge themselves of the produce of sale.

ROLLS' COURT, DEC. 10.

His HoNoun has frequently had occasion to complain of
the conduct of Solicitors in not delivering to his Secretary
the necessary papers in the causes set down for hearing before
his Honour. In the second cause called on, it was discovered
that his Honour had not been furnished with a copy of the
prayer of the bill. Counsel were proceeding to open the
case, but his Honour refused to hear it, saying he was de-
termined to have every cause struck out in which the Soli-
citors (lid not deliver the papers.
Mr. SUGDEN said, his Honour was perhaps not aware
that the doing so was very often a punishment to nobody
but the Counsel, who, in consequence of it, had to read
their briefs twice over. _ _

The MASTER of the Rou-s—l know of no other mole
of making parties attend to their duty. Will you tell me
what I can do? .

Mr. SUDDEN suggested that his Honour might make the 1
solicitors pay the costs.
The MASTER of the ROLLS—I can't do that, Mr. Sug-
den : I can only order the plaintiff to pay the defendant the
costs of the day, and that I shall do in this case.
The Solicitor in the cause at this moment entered the
Court, and, in great haste, handed to his Honour a paper.
The MASTER of the Rom.s—What is that, Sir ?
Solicitor—A copy of the bill.
The MASTER of the Rou,s—You ought not to have to
learn at this time of day that a copy of the bill is not the
proper document to furnish the Court with.
Mr. PRUE MORE (junior Counsel with Mr. Sugden)
proposed to tear off from his brief a copy of the prayer of
the bill, and to hand it up to his Honour; but
The MASTER of the ROLLS objected, saying, he would
not countenance such irregular proceedings.
After some further conversatioa, his Honor directed the
cause to be placed at the bottom of the papei.'
The next cause was then called on.
The MASTER of the ROLLS (after being spoken to by
his secretary) said, no papers have been delivered in this
either.
The counsel and solicitor said there must be some mis-
take
papers were then banded up to his Honour, and the
ysencfrlerrayer of the bill, &c. had been deli-
led.

THE DUKE of YORX.—The most interesting
and powerful LIKENESS of the DUKE of YORK will
be found in His Royal Highness's memorable Speech on the Ca-
tholic Claims, ornamentally written and engraved on a plate 11
by 16 inches, by Mr. WALTER PATON, Writing-Master,
2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, London ; to be had of the
Printsellers generally, and of Mr. Paton. Price 7s. 6d. India,
and ss. plain : the Portrait, without the Writing, 3s.
From the Literary Gazette, Sept. 23, 1826 :—" Mr. Paton
could not have devised surer mesas of attracting attention to his
great abilities as a penman than by adorning this specimen of
them with so admirable a likeness of the Commander-in-Chief.
It is from Jackson's flue portrait, a most powerful and striking
resemblance, and beautifully engraved by Thomson, in an oral
about the size of half a crown piece. At this moment, when His
Royal Highness's health causes so much anxiety, it is peculiarly
interesting. The example of writing does great credit to Mr.
Pa:ton's genius as a master in that profession."
2, Devonshire-street, Portland-place, Dec. 30, 1826.

THE LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.=
Patuu's grand.display of Ornamental Penmanship, in Me-
mory of her Royal Highness the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE,
containing an extremely fine MINIATURE PORTRAIT in the
centre, and dedicated by permission to the King. Size of the
plate 15 by 214 inches. Price one guinea India, and 15s. plain.
From the "Imperial Magazine, Nov. 1825 :—" The difficulties
attending the contrivance and execution of fine ornamental pen-
manship are well known to its professors, and commonly lead the
performer into ,ameness of composition and poverty of execution,
but in Mr. Patun's specimen there is no repetition : the hands are
so admirably chosen and arranged, the flourishes so varied and
natural, and the whole performance so exquisitely fine, that it may
unquestionably be considered the moat magnificent production in
the art of ornamental penmanship that has ever appeared in this
country," &e.

MR. WALTER PATON's PUBLIC EVEN-
ING CLASS for WRITING, 2, Devonshire.etreet,
Portland-place.—ln consequence of numerous applications for IN-
STRUCTION in WRITING by persons whose immediate liveli-
hood or future advancement depends on their proficiency in that
art, and who find private lessons expensive, Mr. W. PATON has
formed a CLASS at his own house, (on an economical, interest-
ing, and highly advantageous plan), where the various hands will
be taught suitable to the man of business or the finished penman.
Mr. Paton feels anxious that this class may be viewed as a com-
plete nursery for penmanship on undisputed principles, and as a
harrier against the vague and improper encroachments of dep!aved
taste and assumed talent so frequently pressed upon the notice of
the public, whose attention being necessarily directed to other ob-
jects, have not always time to investigate the merits of every pro-
posed system. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, from 6toB in
the evening. Terms may be known by applying to Mr. Paton.

commencement of hostilities between the federal prtv and
General Bermudez, in which the latter it appears was defeated.
This, together with the fact that no remittances have either ar-

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVE.VI,V6:, ANUARY 5, 1827.

His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK remains
nearly in the same state, but gradually becomes
weaker. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLA-
RENcE and SussEx are um-emitting in their atten-
tions to their Brother. The former was twice with
him yesterday, and the latter remained with him till a
late hour at night. On inquiring this afternoon at
Rutland House, we were informed 'that his Royal
Highness was no better.

THE DUKE OF YORK.

Another day has passed without any Material alteration in the
state of the Royal Sufferer.
The Duke of Clarence returned to Bushy Park, after leevitg his
afflicted brother on Wednesday night.
The Gentlemen of the Faculty assembled yesterday morning at
eight o'clock, to hold a consultation upon the state of the Royal
Duke, after which their report was—" His Royal Highness has
passed the night quieter than he has done for a week past. There
is no material change in the state of his Royal Highness, but he is
rather weaker."

The Duke of Clarence left Bushy Park at an early hour yester-
day morning, and arrived at the residence of the Duke of Sussex,
in the King's Palace, Kensington, about eleven o'clock. Shortly
after, the Royal Brothers proceeded to the Duke of Rutland's
house in Arlington-street, where they remained till five o'clock,
in a state of great anxiety.
The Princess Sophia, the Duchess of Kent, and others of the
Royal Family, sent repeatedly in the course of the day to make
inquiries. Several communicationswere made to the King. Among
the inquirers were, Prince Esterhway, the Austriau Ambassador,
Prince Polignac, the French Ambassador, the Saxon Minister,
and the Mexican Minister, Earl Bathurst, Viscount Sidmouth,
and the Bishop of Exeter.
The Medical Gentlemen assembled again at twelve o'clock,
when they found the Duke's legs were somewhat better. His
Royal Highness was cheerful, and conversed with Sir Herbert
Taylor and others. The Royal Sufferer partook of some brandy
and water, and some strengthening broths during the course of
the day.
Sir Astley Cooper was in close attendance upon the Royal Pa-
tient during the day, with but little intermission. The Doctors
had another consultation at four o'clock—about five the Dukes of
Clarence and Sussex left for, Kensington.

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.

Harry Holt and Bob Baldwin took their first joint benefit, at
the, Tennis Court, yesterday, and from the expected appearance of
Crawley and Ward, they had, to all intents and purposes, an
" overflowing house."
The sparring was spirited, and afforded general satisfaction. The
following men set-to :—Lennox and Jon Latham, Murphy and
John Belasco, Ike Dodd and Jack the Painter, Jem Stockman and
the Bristol Baker, Oliver and Whiteheaded Bob, Torn Belcher
and Harry Harmer, Castles and Fisher, Pick and 11PCarthy, Harry
Holt and Bill Abbott.

NEW CIIALLENGES.—Previous to the last set-to, Whiteheaded
Bob mounted the stage, and declared his readiness to make a
match with Crawley, for two or three hundred pounds aside; or if
Crawley would not fight, with Jem Burns, for one hundred aside ;
to tight in a month.
One of Jem Ward's backers immediately stood beside Bob, and
offered to back Ward against him for one or two hundred, but to
this Bob made no reply.
Tom Belcher offered to make a match with Bob, to fight Jem
Burns in April, for one hundred a-side. This, hoverer, did not
suit Bob's views, who said he wanted to fight Jem in a month,
and would not enter into any other engagement.
Jem Burns then came on the stage himself, and said be was
perfectly willing to meet Bob in a month, but hewas necessarily
under the dictation of those by whom he was to be backed, and
they thought it would require more time to get him in condition.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, JAN. s.—The Hulsean prize for the lass
year has been adjudged to William Michael Mayers, of
Catherine Hall, for his dissertation on the following sub.
ject :—" A critical Examination of our Saviour's Dis.
courses with regard to the Evidence which they afford oi
his Divine Nature."

The following is the subject of the Hulsean prize essa
for the present year:—" The Contention between Pau
and Barnabas."

AMERICAN ARMY.

It is a striking feature in the American Republican institutions,
that it is the policy of the Government to impress upon the minds
of the soldiery, that, although they are soldiers, they ought never
to forget that they still continua to be citizens. The policy of less
popular Governments usually is to keep the soldiers as much
separated from the people as possible, for the obvious purpose of
making the soldiery more readily disposed to assist in checking
any popular commotions that may arise, in consequence of any
mischievous or unpopular measures to which they may be inclined
to resort. The policy of the American Government is quite the
reverse ; and entirely comports with the words of the President,
in his late Message to Congress—" That, from the Commanding
General, through all the gradations of superintendence, the Officers
feel themselves to have been citizens before they were soldiers, and
that the glory of a Republican Army must consist in the spirit of
freedom with which it is animated, and of patriotism by which it
is impelled." This kind of policy is the surest indication of good
government, and the strongest security for it.

THE PUBLIC REVENUE

(From the New Times.)
An account of the finances of the kingdom, divested of
the forms of expression and official classifications, which
Parliamentary appropriations render unavoidable, may
possibly serve to correct the erroneous and imperfect view
in which this subject is not unfrequently regarded. The
following statement is drawn from official sources. Its
gen oral accuracy will not, it is presumed, be questioned ;
nor the information it conveys be deemed wholly uninte-
esting or useless :

BUTLER'S ACIDULATED CAYENNE
LOZENGES; ate particularly recommended for habitual
Sore Throats, relaxation of the Uvula, enlargement of the Ton-
sils, and that description of hoarseness which arises from relaxa-
tion of the membranes of the Throat, and the parts contiguous.
The Cayenne Lozenge has been found of great utility to such
persons as axe frequently iu the habit of speaking in public; they
may, therefore, advantageously he used in the Senate, at the Bar,
and in the Pulpit, and the highest testimony in the Musical
World has been advanced in their favour, especially in those cares
where, from the constant use of the voice, or the influence of a
humid atmosphere, the membranes have become relaxed, and di-
minished in their tone.

These I.ozesiges are also recommended as a stimulus during
Field Sports ; they are refreshing, and prevent Sore Throats,
Hoarseness, iv.c. to those who are unaccustomed to exposure in the
morning, before the dew has passed off, and in moist and foggy

evenings.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT—(Tfus Day.).

Richard Townsend, Esq. being brought up on his petition,
was opposed by Mr. Heath on behalf of the Archdeacon of Tra
lee. The Earl of Shannon gave notice also of an opposition but
did not appear. Messrs. Cook and Donovan appeared as Counsel
for the petitioner.
The insolvent stated, that some years of age he had a leasehold
landed property in Ireland of the yearly value of 2201. In 1810
his eldest son married, and he settled a portion of the property on
him. In a few years after he made the other moiety over on his
younger eon 2 - neither of his eons was bound to allow him a rental
for life, but his younger son allowed him a gratuity of 801. a-
year since 1822 ; he had a cottage and a plot of ground on a lease
from the Earl of Shannon ; as also another farm let to a tenant,
which brought him an annuity of 501. The debt for which he
was now opposed, was incurred by his having rented the Archdea-
con's tithes.

Mr. HEATH said, that he saw no cause why the petitioner
should be remanded, but as all his property was in Ireland he
prayed that the Archdeacon should be appointed assignee.
The Cot= acceded to the application, and the petitioner was
discharged.
London, England, 1827-12-18

when the JOurnal of Tarragona arrived there, and
announced in its official part that executions on
the gallows had taken place there amidst the firing
of cannon, and that the black Rag had been displayed,
then the curious inhabitants of the neighbourhood
retreated as soot► as they found it out, and every
one went home to escape, as if Count d'Espana and
the hangman were at their heels, and only the inha-
bitants of Valencia remained in that town ; even
the greater number of these were struck by a panic
terror, and shut themselves in their houses and bar-
ricadoed their doors; and what is a thing unheard
of, the Royalist Volunteers themselves trembled.
When they were called upon to parade, or to per-
form duty, scarce one hundred could be collected
out of upwards of 2,000, who were there on the spot.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

At a late hour, this afternoon, we received, by
express, the Gazette de France, dated yesterday.
The following paragraph, if true, is important,
as tending to confirm the accounts received yes,
terday:—

" They write from Constantinople of the '2lth Nov.,
that the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers who signed
the Treaty of the 6th of July, have had a conference
with the Reis Effendi which lasted five hours, but the re-
sult is not known. Since these eight days past the em-
bargo has been taken off from ships of all nations, and it is
believed that the intentions of the Porte are pacific."
" Our news from Smyrna are of the 15th, when every
thing remained quiet in that place."
Private letters from Paris confirm the news re-
ceived yesterday, and say there is every hope
that affairs will be amicably settled.
We give the above on the authority of the
Gazette cle.Franee, and if its news be correct,
how comes it that our Government are yet in
ignorance of such important intelligence ?: The
thing is passing strange, and only serves to raise
our special wonder.

The Paris Morning Papers of Saturday were
received last night, but their contents had been
in a great degree anticipated by the Gazette de
France of Sunday, which reached us yesterday
morning, by express. The Constitutionnel con-
tains an article from Bucharest, dated the 17th
Nov., which is certainly some days prior to the
latest communications, but at that time every
movement bespoke approaching hostilities.
It appears by letters in these Papers, from Sa-
lonica, that the French residents in the ports of
the Levant, had been ordered by the Turkish
authorities to quit the country, in consequence
of which many of them had embarked, but had
not actually sailed at the date of the letters.
Intelligence from Madrid announces that ne-
gotiations are going on for the total evacuation
of the Spanish territory by the French troops.
A French brig-of-war has had a severe action
with two Algerine vessels, one of which was
sunk, and the other beat off: Three bomb-
vessels are fitting out at Toulon, with all possi-
ble expedition.
Some extracts from these Papers are given in
a preceding column.

New York Papers to the 24th ult. inclusive
reached us last night. They are destitute of
political news, and their contents are excessively
uninteresting. Congress was to recommence its
labours on the 3d inst. We are sorry to observe
that some disputes still continue between the

inhabitants of New Brunswick and the inha-
bitants of the State of Maine. We subjoin a

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Mr. Cooper—the celebrated American actor, ap-
peared last night for the first—and probably the
last—time at this theatre as " Macbeth." He is a
round, coarse, dumpy •man, not unlike Farley in
appearance, with a voice smacks strongly of the
conventicle. His utterance 'is drawling in the ex-
treme, and so ridiculously monotonous, that the au-
dience last night would most infallibly have fallen
asleep if laughter had not kept them awake. Indeed
during the whole course of our theatrical experience,
we never witnessed such an instantaneous &nine-

tion. It was neither the envy—nor the jealousy of
private or public feeling; but the strong natural
ebullition of insulted taste that sealed Mr. Cooper's
destiny, and warned him without reserve or cere-
mony, that as an English tragedian he had nothing
left to hope. But enough' of this " 'tis a cruelty
to load a falling man,"—so we forbear further com-
ment.
