HARRISON V. HORN.
This was as action for assault between two carpet-
manufacturers at KidJeriniihter, corer iited in the
liroul-street of that town. Mr. Harriton had been
tenant to Mr. Horn, of a mill, of which he fropesed
to give up possession, but refused to pay his rent be-
fore an agreement for the holding had burn cancelled.
The•agrcement was at the attorney's office, but he in-
shted,on returning the keys. Mr. Horn declined to
receive them; and replacing them in the side-pocket
of the plaintiff's cost, dragged him a few yards, which
was the assault complained of.
Mr. Jams, for the defendant, represented the assault as wholly
frivolous, and pressed the Jury to discourage such actions, by dis-
missing the plaintiff with a farthing.
The Jury retuned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One
Fastbing.

LORD_CoCIIRANE.—THE !-ERANGA.

RTDt, OTIT.;'/ULY Tie.
VirkVl
I have just returned froat a visit on board Lord
Cochrane's fi,:e frigre the Peranga, which is now lying
off Spit' c id. Since her arrival, she has been the ob-
ject of general attention, and her decks have beentAlaily.
and !lowly crowded with visitors. This attraction has
certainly beencreated more by her distinguished Com-
wander, their brany striking curiosity about the ship
itself. She is a frigate of the largest size, her guns,
rigging, stores. &c. are arranged precisely, in the same
manner as in our English ships of war. Everything
on beard; however, is at present in great disorder and
disrepair, and she more resembles one of our vessels put
into harbour to refit in war time, than the neat aad
trim appe .rance which an English man of war.presents
in time of peace. Her crew, of which not more than
a third are at present on board, consists of young men,
from the age of seventeen to twenty-one. They are a
fine set of men, 1 ,oking; most truly. as though " their
home was on the deep." They are all of Lord Coch.
rane's own. selectioa, who unlormly evinces a desire to
take boys in preference to experienced se amen on board
his ship, and seems to wish, as it ware, himself to have
the training of them. The most Tema: kable difference
that struck me to exist between this Brazilian frigate
aad one in our service is, that. she had no marines on
board. In the place of them, at the head of the gang-
s% av, on each side of the vessel, and in different parts.
of the deck, are stationed young Portuguese &tilt rs cf
very dark colour, dressed in a white summer dress, and
each armed with a cutlass. 'though less lormide le
than our marines, the appearance of these lads is striking
and warlike. The only oth.,r difference worthy or,
noticeis, that the Lieutenants• in the Brazilian service
wear two epaulettes, and the uniform of the Midshipmen
is slmewhat more ornamental than those in our's. The
whole crew speak with a respect bordering on enthu-
siasm of their Admiral, Lord Cochrane, of their
admiration of his talents, and confidence in his valour.
I have been anxious to ascertain the object of the ar-
rival of the Peranga at this moment on our shores, and
the result of my inquiries is, that this visit is certainly
not an accidental one. A pretext was assigned that
she put in to refit, but this is quite unsatisfactory and
unfounded, from an assurance I received on board, that
Lnrd Cochrane left his own ship the Don Pedro, a 74,
at Maranham, and drafted the greater portion of her
crew intosthe Peranga, for the purpose of coming to
England. As to aay repairs that were necessary for
thePeranga, I was further assured that they could as
easily have been done at Maranham: as at Portsmouth.
Indeed, it was frankly declared on board, that it was
the Admiral's business that brought them to England,
but whether that business be of a private or public na-
ture, they either did not knose, or were naturally un-
willing, to disclose. If a person might be permitted to
conjecture on such a subject, I. should say that mired
motives of a public and private nature induced Lord
C chrane to the present visit to his native country.—
The residence of Lady Cochrane in England will sa-
tisfactorily account for his Lordship's visit on private
grounds, and the close intercourse that has subsisted
between Lord Cochrane and our vessels abroad, will
in some degree lead one to believe that in his induce-
ments to revisit England, political considerations have
had no small share. Indeed, I am enabled to state,
from a source, on which reliance may be placed, that
the Commissioners sent out from this country to South
America, have interchanged frequent civilities, such as
dinner parties, fetes, &c. with Lord Cochrane, and that
they have made acknowledgments in their communi-
cations to England, that they were greatly aided, and
that the fulfilment of the objects of their commission,
were in many instances materially facilitated by the
advice and assistance of Lord Cochrane.

We hear that the bodies of several persons are now
lying in the crypt of lidington Church, mho owned, who have fallen
victims to the alarming beat of the weather. Several horses dropped
dead in the cours•of yeetarday, in diihreint parts of the metropolis.
A letter from Pailadelphia, dated Jane 15, says,
"On the last birth-day of Waangscsiton, the Liberator
BOLIVAR paid a visit to the United States squadron, at
Chorillos• and was saluted from the frigate United
States and the sloop of war Peacock. The British ship
CAMIPRIDOZ, 74, and the Chilian squadron, also sa-
luted the Liberator,—the three squadrons thus com-
bined in evincing their respect for the character and
• talents of one of the first men of the age."
Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Duna, of Bexhill, attained
his ninetieth year, and according to custom, celebrated
his birth-day, by giving an excellent dinner at his house
'to about fifty of his friends and neighbours. Mr. Dux!
I also ordered 150 stone of good beef to be distributed
amongst the neighbouring poor.
The principal part of the master clothiers in Clerk-
heaton have agreed to the advance of wages, and the
spinners and weavers have resumed their work on terms
from 2s. to 4s. in their favour.

DEATH BY DRowNlNO.—Friday afternoon, at six
o'clock, as a party of boys were bathing in the River,
at Chiswick, uff one of his Grace the Duke of Devetz-
stun E'S fields, called Cerney Mead, a lad, sixteen years
of age, named Henry Butts, got out of his depth, and
'being entangled in the weeds, sunk almost instantly.
The Duke was walking on the law's at the time, and
on witnessing the catastrophe, hastened to the spot, and
evinced the most intense anxiety to recover the body.,
The drags belonging to the Humane Society, kept at
the Red Lion, Chiswick, were immediately sent for;
but, we regret to add, were not in order, and, conse-
quently, could not be used. The Duke begged, among
'.the many Gentlemen who assembled-in their boats, that
-one would row over to Barnett, for the nets kept there,
which was done, and in the meantime the nets of some
fishermen were sent for from Hammersmith, but the
tide being against them, a considerable delay arose.
The net arrived, and was drawn over the reeds, bat un-
successfully; and after about three quartersot an hour,
the body was fished up by a water man's oar, and taken
to Mr. Mash's, a tenant of the Duke's, close by (by the
Duke's desire), where every exertion recommended by
L the Society was used. After two hours, however, it
was found that every effort was useless. The Duke,
wh -n he found all their labours in vain to resuscitate
the body, assured the brother of the poor lad that he
would relieve the distressed parents (the father is a
'bricklayer at Hammersmith) in every way he could.

Monday, Sir IL 13:10111 was occuplid the greater part of the •
afternoon in the examination of Mr. Wm. Christmas, late a elerkin
the banking house of Messrs. lloares, whose name has so efteo
appeared in the public prints, in connection with that of a well
known actress of Covent-Garden Establishment, he being charted
with having embezzle d an Exchequer Bill for sel,ooo,thepropehy of
his late employers, and applied the proceeds to his own use. The exa.
mtnation took place in a private room, but we learned that the leading
facts of the case are these s—The prisoner had been about fifteen
years in the employment of Messrs.Hoares,and a considerable degree
of respect was entertained for him by the Firm, but since his connec-
tion with the Lady alluded to there had been so many statements,
and such frequent exposures in the Public Papers, respecting that
connection, that the partners felt themselves called upon to dismiss
Mist. They had, moreover, discovered, that he had lately taken a
splendid house near East Acton, at which he and the Lady resided,
and that they had set up their carriage. The partners, in conse-
quence, of this discovery were the more confirmed in their determi-
nation not to keep him any longer in their service, and about a fort-
night ago he was dismissed. In the course of his employment he
was entrusted with the negotiation of Exchequer Bills to a large
amount, and after his discharge from the firm it was discovered that
he had embezzled and applied to his own use one bill for sel,ooo
and that there was ton much reason to suppose that his di4toneit7
was not confined to that single transaction. One of the partners in
oessequenoe applied at this Office on Monday morning, and Salmon

going on, the prisoner professed the same willingness to disclose
everything, and after some conversation on that subject, he was in-
formed that be might make any communication he pleased by letter
to his late employers after he had reached the prison to which he
would be sent.
He was committed to the House. of Correction, Cold Bath-
fields, for further examination, and was informed that his Solicitor

for the admission of friends indiscriminately. He will bore examined
