THE KING V. WEYMOUTH.

Mr. ADAM moved to file a criminal information
against Mr. George Weymouth, a merchant at Exeter,
for the publication of several libels on Lord It lle.
This was moved on the affidavit of Lord Rolle, who
stated, that he had been attacked by the defendant with
no less than • six libellous letters, during the present
month. The defendant had res ttted to a singular mode
of annoyance. He had delivered unsealed letters totlse
Post•office. They were written in a remarkable hand.
and on that account were likely to attract the attention
of the Pust Office-keeper, and others through whose
hands they must pass. These letters were addressed to
different persons. One was directed to the Bishop of
Exeter ; another to a Magistrate of the County of
Derma ; one to L idy Rolle ; and one to Lord Rolle's
housekeeper. The annoyance had been so great that Lord
Rolle could no longer abst ,in from seeking legal redress.
The Learned Counsel read several of the letters. which contained
the most gross epithets, applied to the Nobleman in whose behalf
the motion was made.
The Court granted a rule to thew cause.

HIGH COURT OF DELEGATES, N0v.24.
SIR WASTILL IRMO)It V. LADY BRISCOR.

Upon the sitting of the Court, the RROISTRR stated,
that he had received a letter from Sir W. Biircoe, in
reference to what had passed on the last Court-day,
which he desired permission w read.
The Coons. having granted its permission, the Re•
gisler read a letter to the following effect :
" Sta-1 beg you will state, that I have no intention of offering
the slightest insult to the High Court of De!egates what escaped
from me on the last Court-day. I now beg to apologise for those
expressions, and, in obedience to the commands of that Honour-
able Court, retract those expressions in the most unequivocal manner.
0 I consider the above submission to the high Court of Delegates
most full and complete on my part, and t appeal to the justice of
this Honourable Court to deal nut a measure of equal justice
towards one of its own officers, who had beeii knowingly and wilfully
guilty of the same offence against the dignity of the Court under
more aggravated circumstances; and I pray the Court that he may
be pronounced in contempt, unless he retracts the expressions he
then used, and makes a satisfactory apology. " W. BRISCOE.
" To the Register of the High Court of Delegates."
Dr. ST•DA RT said, that he and his Learned Col-
leagues considered this a matter of great importance,
requiring deliberation. The Court would, therefore,
retire for a short time.
The Cover then retired to an adjoining apartment, and remained
in deliberation for a few minutes. When they returned,
•
Dr. STODART said, that the Court thought this
matter one which ought to have every possible publicity.
As to the apology of Sir W. Briscoe, the Court was of
opinion that be had done himself credit by that apology,
and that it was satisfactory in its terms. Under this
impression they could not, in courtesy, refuse to accept
the submission ; and on this point he had authority to
declare, that the Court was perfectly satisfied. As to
the matter of what may be called S:r W. Briscoe's se-
cond letter. the Court was of opinion that the offieer
alluded to should make an apology for the expressions
he bad used, and retract unequivocally what had fallen
from him. Unless that officer did apologise for his ex-
pressions, by retracting them, and stating that he had
no intention to insult the Court, he must be considered
in contempt. As this matter, however, may have come
suddenly on the officer alluded to, the Court did not
desire him on the moment to advance anything, unless
he was prepared to make the apology which the Court
demanded. The Court was willing to allow him full
time for consideration.
Mr. Townsend (the Proctor alluded to) said he would
rather the Court would do him the favour to bear him
at once. Sir W. Briscoe having retracted the expres-
sions he addressed to Dr. Jenner, and having satis-
factorily apologized to the Court, he (Mr. Townsend)
was prepared unequivocally to retract the words I.e had
used; and whilst he disclaimed all intention of offering
the slightest offence to the dignity of the Court, he
hoped the Court would accept his apology fur the ex-
pressions then used.
Dr. STODART said, the Court considered the apology
made by its officer sufficient, and that they were bound
to absolve him, as they had all eady done Sir W. Bris-
'coe, from the contempt of tl e Court. The matter
having terminated in this manner, it was the desire of
the Court that no atusion shad be made to it in
future, and that the particular intividual to whom the
off•nsive expressions were at first addressed should con-
sider that the mater had been taken out of his hands,
and was altogether a question for the Court.
Dr. Jsassc (to whom the offensive epithets were addressed) was
about to speak, when be was interrupted by
• Dr. 8701 M RT, who observed that it did Lot appear to the Court
that Dr. Jenner had any claim to be heard on the point before it.

.•. . . •
JEANE-11 said h thought, in jtistice to himself,
he ought to sat, that finless the apology offered 14 Sir
W. Briscoe could be Considered to tontwin an utiquaii-
, fled apology for the opprobrious epithets used towards
him, independent of the apology tb the Court, he 'could
no, nor would not, be sAtkfled with it.
dr. STOW, O.T.Sir W. Briscoe says be unquanztlly retracts the
expressions be then used.
Dr. Junes—Ant I to consider that as addressed personally to
me, as well as to the Calm?

Dr. Stormiftv-- That iiiitiuestion which the Court should not be
asked, and ought not to answer.
The Court then inquired whether S'r W. Briscoe was
prepared to proceed o ith his petition? And Mi. Glennie,
his Proctor, saying that he had no directit•ns to proceed,
Dr. STODART observed, that the Court had decided
to reconsider Sir W. Briscoe's case, as a matter of fa-
vour. He should, therefore, have been prepared to
proceed with it.
Mr. Gummi said he bad only to pray the Court to allow the
matter to stand over until the nest Court-day.
Dr. STOW& ar—This would only produce the effect of delay, which
has already been so much reprobated in this case. Uttlesi Sir W.
Briscoe s petition shall be given in three days before the next Court-
day, he must be considered in contempt.
The business of the Court terminated here.

Dr. Lae was proceedinitoaddiess it, upon some
proceeding which he considered " contrary to the prin-
ciples of Magna Charta;" but before the Learned Dr.
had distinctly explained the object he had in vi w$ the
Court became empty, he was left without auditors,
and Dr. STOD Anr observing that there was no question
before them, his Learned Colleagues rose, and the
Court adjourned.

THE JUBILEE OF GOETHE.

WEIMAR. Nomsara S.

It was on the 7th of November, 1775, that our pre.
sent Minister of State, Von Goe_lie, arrived at Weimar,
in consequence tf an invitation to enter into the service
of the Grand Doke. Yesterday morning, being the
fiftieth anniversary of the day of his arrival, his
Royal Ilightirss the Grand Duke sent an autograph
tert..r to M. Von Goethe, with a medal, executed by
M. Brandt, at Berlin, according to the directions of the
Grand Duke. The letter was in the following terms:
44 MOST ESTEEIDD PRIVY COUNSELLOR AND MI-
NISTER STATE.—It is certainly with entire justice
that I consider the day on which, complying with my
invitation, you arrived at Weimar, as the day of your
actual entrance into my service, since, from that time,
you have never ceased to give me the most satisfactory
proofs of the most faithful attachment and friendship,
by the dedication to my service of your rate talents.—
The fiftieth anniversary of this day, I accordingly cm-
sider, with the most lively pleasure, as the Jubilee of
my First Officer of State, who with fidelity, constancy,
and attachment, has hitherto accompanied me in all
the vicissitudes of life; to whose pruJent counsel, and
ever ready and cheerful service, I owe the happy issue
of the must important undertakings; and whom, to
have permanently attached to me, I consider as one of
the most distinguished ornaments of my reign. Joy-
fully taking advantage of the happy occasion of the
Jubilee of to-day, to express these sentiments to you.
I beg.you to be assured that they will never change."
The medal has on the face the busts of their Royal
Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess: on the re-
verse, the bust of Goethe, with two branches of laurel
round it, and the following inscription continued from
the face to the reverse:
64 CHARLES AUGUSTUS AND LOUISA,
TO GOILTNIC:.

If Goethe's Works b long to all Germany and the
civilized world, we have, besides, the pleasure of his
direct and personal exertions for the last fifty years.
A faithful performer of the commands of his Prince, his
first efforts were directed to forming the taste of his new
fellow citizens, in conjunction with noble and highly
gifted men. all of whom we have now lost; he entered
into the ideas of the Duke and the amiable Pr inees►es;
a lively interest for art and science was soon manifested
in the city and countiy, and a sincere enchavour to
promote them to the utmost; and this little acquited
an intellectual importance, more pure, mote solid, than
could have been acquired by more worldly means. lf,
wherever the German tongue is understood, the inge-
nious poet, the luminous thinker, naturally, and con-
noisseur, is admired, we have the pleasure of loving the
amiable qualities of the man.
The day was kept it, a very suitable manner. For some
time past, all the fair hands in %Veimar had been busy in
preparing for him a number of elegant presents, which
were sent to him early in the morning. At half-past
eight o'clock, all those who thought they had any tight,
assembled in his house. Eberwein had composed a
very pretty cantata, which was sung by M. Eberwein
and several Ladies, when he came out of his chamber to
welcome the company. The Grai d Duke's letter and
the medal were presented to him. Then came Deputie,
from the Municipality, who presented to him, for his
grandchildren and all his descendants for ever. the free-
dom of all the cities and towns in the Gland Dikel of
Weimar. This being done, the company retired to
make way for the Gland Duke and family, who came
in person to congratulate him. Meantime, his bust,
marble, executed by Rouch, was placed in the 1 bratty;
a select company of Lithe: and Gentlemen attended as
witnesses; a fine piece of vocal and instrument al music,
composed for the occasion, was perfor med; the Chancellor
and the Librarian delivered appropriate discourses; and
lastly a description of the proceedings of the day. An im•
pression of the medal, and a splendid copy of Iphigenia
were deposited in the pedestal under the bust. There
was a grand dinner in the Town Hall, at which var
songs were sung in Goethe's honour, but he himself was
aot present. Then the company repaired to the theatre:
Goethe sat quite concealed in an obscure box, but was
discovered and welcomed with acclamations. After a
prologue, in which his bust, crowned with laurel, was
introduced, his Iphigenia, which we had not seen for
many years, was admirably performed before a very
numerous and attentive autlience,di essed with the grea.est
elegance in honour of the occasions. After the per-
formance, the inhabitants of the square in which he
lives illuminated their houses, and the- Grand Duke's
band performed, under his window, a very fine serenade
composed by Hummel.

M. CONTINZ, the lonian Messenger, arrived on Wed-
nesday night at the Colonial Office' with dispatches from Lieut.-
General Sir F. storkm, K.C.B. at Ancona.
ANOTHER BODY I'OUND..—S sturday morning, the
body of John Gallagher. an Irish pedlar, who WAS one
of the sufferers in the Comet, WAS found on the shop
near Whiteforeland Point. He was in a very decay -d
state. and was interred in Gouroek Church-yard. The
only money found on him amounted to five shi iiitg,,
a few pence, and a silver watch, in one of his bide
pockets.—Greenock Advertiser, A ov. 22.

CLERGT ORPHAN 3OCIET~c

t• • e
The quarterly.risee. ting of the members cie dris
ttitiori took place yesterday; it die Freeinaione tivern:
Archdeacon Porr, who was called to the
stated that the ible object of the meeting was to.teiceivi
.and confirm the minutes of the last meeting. the
notes were then read, which contained an account Of
the number of orphans who had been receiied into thi
Satiety since the last quarterly meeting. The Society
was incorporated in the year 1809, for Clothing;
taining, and edutating poor orphans of Cleigyrnen of
the Eltahlidted Church. The Act of Incorporation had
been obtain6d at the sole eipense of the Bidrop of bur;.
ham, who had added to this and othet instances of
liberality towards the Society a donation Of 500!. It
was to be wondered at, that among the many charities
in this country, no prevision had been hitherto made lor
the superannuated Clergy. He was happy, however;
to observe that such an undertaking had been corn.
menced, and that too under such favourable auspices
as those of his friend, Dr. Wollaston.

An account of the Incorporated Clergy Orphan So-
ciety was laid on the table. It commenced by stating;
that "at the period-of the Reformation, the Church of
England wa, rescued from the errors of Popery ; and
its Nlinister.,,Whom one of those errors had condemned to
celibacy, were restored to the charities of domestic life."

A Gentleman stated, that in very frequent instances
the applications to the Society were made from families
consisting of ten persons—the children of Clergymen,
who, by the death of their parents, were left tqtally
unprovided for. It was the merit of the Society to afford
relief to persons in this helpless and pitiable situation.
The Report, which is a highly interesting one, con-
cludes with an account of the number of orphans now
on the Institution, and the respective districts to which
they belong, viz.
From London and Middlesex 2

Berks, Bucks, Herta, Essex, Kent, and Surrey 10

The betting today was principally nu the Derby, and was set
very extensive ; but it is evident from the turn which it took, that
several of the outaide horses are going back, viz. Cedric, the Ge-

Rot long remain second favourite. The St. Leger betting is very

lUJRAL FELICITY.

FROM " FRIENDSHIPS OFFERING."-41T H. SMITH) ESQ.

Horrid in country shades to dwell—
One positively might as sell
Be buried in the quarries.
No earthly object to be seen,
Lut cows and geese upon a green,
As sung by Captain Morris !
One's moped to death by cawing crows,
Cr silent fields • and as 'for beaux,
One's optics it surprises
To see a decent animal,
Unless at some half-yearly b:411,
That graces the Assizes:
Oh ! the unutterable bliss
Of changing such a wilderness
For London's endless frolic!
Where concerts, operas, dances, plays,
Chase from the cheerful nights and days

All vapours melancholic !
There every hour Its tribute brings—
The future comes on golden wings,
Some new delight to tender ;
And life, depriv'd of all alloy,
Is ore unceasing round of joy.
Festivity, and splendour !
So cries the rural nymph; while they,
The wearied, disappointed prey
Of London's heartless riot,
Sick of the hollow joys it yields,
Gladly withdraw to groves and fields,
In search of peace and quiet!
Oh. happiness ! in vain we cbace
Thy shadow, and attempt to trace
it's ever-changing dances;
Like the horizon's line, thou art
Seen on all sides, but seem to start
From every one's advances!

WAXING WARM.

At Bow-street Office, a Mr. P. Bicknell was charged
with having taken divers unwarrantable liberties with.
the nose and character of one Mr. Tobias Mansell.
„.
Mr. Peter Bicknell is a sort of juvenile Benedict+.i
stripling married man; and he came before the Bench
attended by his bride. Mr. Tobias Mansell is an elderly
shoemaker, of rather portly person, with the snows of
sixty winters on his head, and the fire of summer in his
eye. .6 May it please your Worship,* said he: "I am
a shoemaker—what the world vulgarly calls a cobbler;
and I endeavour to get my living cheerfully and ho-
srestly—but, however, that's neither here nor there.—
' Yesterday, please your Worship, as I was standing in
*tr. ~Jones's 'shop, cheapening a bunch of greens for din-
t-64,400g previously bought a very nice little bit cd
picklifilto44 thWyoung chap here, Mr. Bicknell, whom
I never alapittiopy eyes upon before, comes up to me,
and tapping'int.en the shoulder, says, " you d—d old
cuckold, didn't you mend a pair of shoes for any wife
today, and charge her a shilling ?" " My good man,"
says I, " this is a queer way of putting a civil question:
That 1 am doniaii, is more than you can tell ; that I am
la, is what .1 can't help; that I am a cuckold, terrains
to be proved ; but that I did charge a shilling for
mending a pair of sh-es to-day is very true." 4, Veiy
ell," says he," then take th,t I" and w ith that he gives
me a thump on the nose, which has completely saplin-
, iercd it, please your Worship! Of course I returned the
compliment as well as I could, but he fought away at
me right and left like a tiger, but at last tire constable
came an and took him away, and I came here to get
redress at the hands of your Worship; for it's rather
too bad to be called a cuckold, and have one's nose
splinteted into the bargain, without knowing why
or wherefore."
The Magistrate said he was of the same opinion; and asked
Peter Bicknell what he bad to say in explanation of such un-
seemly outrageous conduct?
" Why, please your Worship," replied Mr. Peter BlcknelL
" he's a nasty old man. and be insulted my wife, and that's why I
whopp'd him."
This pithy explanation did not exactly satisfy his
Worship ; but nothing more could be got from the in-
dignant Mr. Peter Bicknell, and his taciturnity was just
about bringing him in jeopardy of being held to bail,
when his bride—a pretty little Irish girl—requested to
be heard in explanaticn. "An please yet Honour,"
said she, " when I went to ax him if my shoes was done
he says to me, says I.e, "So you've got a husband
lately r says he. Yes, says I, I have. 66 Is he a comfort.
able husband ?" says he. Yes, says I, he is. "How d'ye
like matrimony ?" says he. Pretty well, thank ye, Sir,
says I. ""Does your husband do his duty by ye r says
he. Never you mind that, says I. " Well, come
in, ((WI want to talk to you a bit, says he. Are my
shoes done?" says I. " Come in," says he. " I Shan't
come in ; I only want my shoes," says 1.. And then
he made a great jump at me, saving your Worship's
presence; but I got away from him, and held the door
by the brass, with only my face inside, an I aid him
for my shoes again, but he only made a laugh at me,
an ax'd me to come in an let him see my leg to know
which shoes was mine; but I wouldn't, an I went away
about my business; and in the afterno.,n I went again,
an he talked to me in the same impu,!eat way again
for a long time alibre he would let me have my shoes.
but at last I got 'em from him.; and when I met him
in the market after he wink'd his eye an jeer'd at nre,
an my husband was with me an saw it, an aid are
what it meant, an 1 told him—for I didn't like that my
husband should think I had winking-acquaintances un-
beknown to him. So my husband went up to him, an
aid him what he meant by it? an he pusli'd my hus-
band away, an said,. " What! you be the new-married
man, be you r says lie; and then my husband sttuck
him, plea's )Cr Honour."
Mr. Toby Mansell, in reply, admitted that he bar! joked the new-
married Lady a little; but there was something in the eta of his
countenance and the &ince of his eye *Welt strongly corrohora:ed
Mrs. Bicknell's story-4 idi baring joked bee over mud.; and
therefore the Magistrate distniskidisiseiiatedint.
