COURTS MARTIAL.

At a General Court Martial held at Pavy, on the
28th of August, 1815, and continued by adfriurn-
inents to the 4th of September following, lbevet
Lieutenant-Colonel Cox, Captain in the C9ll-: kegi.
vent, was arraigned upon the under.mentioned
:harges, viz.:
" I. For behaving in a 9:atiallout ant! Women mamitv, tin-
wowing the character of an ()flier,. at:d a Gentleman it: vto-
!ently assaulting and atrikinj I.kutenant Williata havelock, at

Useof threatening and languaJgt: to Litut,:natit
Havelock, in the presence :int! !leanng of teveral private salcitt..,
servants, and others, at the tinge and l l c above specifie,!."
Upon both which charges the Court found the pri-
soner guilty, and sentenced hi;n to be discharged from
its Mr.jesty's service ; which sentence the PRINCE
REGENT has been pleased to approve.
EAST Im:res.—Extracts from the proceedings of
of an European General Court Martial, assembled
at Meerut, in the East Indies, on Tuesday, the 13th
day of September, in pursuance of General Orders
by the Commander of the Forces, for the trial of Cap-
tain J. Gums, of the 16th Regiment of Native Wan-
try for conduct scandalous and infamous, such
as is unbecoming the character of an officer and it
gentleman, in having submitted to a threat of being
publicly stigmatised as a scoundrel by Major E. P.
WasoN, of the 16th regiment of Native Infantry ;
which threat was conveyed to him at Delhi, on or
aboat the litla of September, 1813, without having
taken any suitable steps to vindicate his honour and
character from such an opprobrious appellation.
2d. For scandalous and infamous conduct, unbe-
coming an Officer and a Gentleman, in baying en-
tleavoured at Rewarrie, on or about the 2tith of Oc:
tuber, 1813, to prevail on the v:iie of Major L. I'.
IVILson, to quit her husband's protection and to fly to
Lis, at a time when it was known that Major WiesoN
wes very dangerously ill. When the Court found the
p:soner not guilty of the flist eletelie, the same eot
being sufficiently proved ; a:id did therefore acquit
i.irn of the same. On the 2d, the Court found the
pisoncr guilty of having endeavoured, at -Rev:al.:it?,
cn or about the With of October, 1813, to prevail en
the wife of Major E. P.Wiesos to quit her husband's
protection, ar.d to fly to his, at a time when it was
known that Major WILSON was very dangerously ;II;
but the Court acquitted the pris,,ner of scandalous
ai.d ;Jo:nous conduct; and the Count sentenced him
to be sespended from rank and pay for six calendar
months.

The proceedings of the Court v.,:e stilt baek for re.
viaion on account of an inaccuracy which appeared to
1....ve escaped thc attention of the Court ; but as so
it-oich time has elapsed, and as no probability ap-
;i: s that the state of the public service will admit
1 the re-assembling the r..intibsrs, the Comman-
dc;-in•Ciliet cannot thin!: it rec,dicileable to justice
that the question sln.uld remain hanging over the
head of Captani Gres. The• Court, in declaring
the inirrioral act, proved apirst CaPl4in GIBBS,
aid not tome within the description of acanthi-
Ens, infamous, and unbecoming the character of an
Officer and a Gentleman, divested itself of all power
(in the opinion of the Coinmat.der in Chief) to award
punishalent, because the act cannot stand within mi-
litary cognizance ; but inasmuch as it may he consi-
dried to come under thc above specific definition, the
Commander in Chief must, therefore, regard the
Court as having returned a verdict of acquittal gene-
rally ; in this view of the case, his Lordship directs
that Captain GIBBS shall return to his duty.

A most scandalous boom has been attempted by
some person, who ought to the known better, by
writing a most extensive number of letters to various
tradesmen, to send articles to the Hon. Mrs. CAMP-
BELL, of Little Holland House, this day, between the
hours of twelve and two. A morning paper's hint
prevented many persons sending, although most had
prepared their orders, • and some put to most serious
inconvenience to get them together. A person going
that, way, found the road to the house so thronged
with persons bringing china, books, grocery, Ste; &c.
that a pelt was put across the ground, and two men
actually stationed with fire-arms, to prevent intru-
sion. even the undertaker did nut fail to attend ; in
short, are neighbourhood has not been so thronged
since the last Trenttord Election. It is hoped the
perpetrator, nevertheless, will be found out and made
an esarnple of.

4011.d.41 roh eNFORTMITE FEMALES.

Yesterday, pursuant to public advertisement, there
was a very numerous Meeting at the City of London
Tavern, which was attended by Ladies as well as
Gentlemen. It was expected that his Royal high.
tress the Duke of KENT would have taken the Chair ;
but he not being present, sho:tly after one o'clock,
Dr. Cota.ven read a letter frail his Royal Highness,
expressing his regret at not being able to attend : he
also read another letter from his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, to the sato! effect. Both letters,
however, expressed the utmost anxiety to promote
the object of the ?Icing. Dr. COLLYER was happy,
hoWever, that one of the Magistrates of the City of
London (Mr. Sheriff Bell) had, on the first applica-
tion, immediately consented to take the Chair. He
should therefore propose that Mr. Sheriff Bell be
called to the Chair.
Mr. Sheriff BELL was accordingly called to the
Chair. with loud applause. He then shortly opened
the business of the Meeting, and apologised for being
se entirely unprepared. He was attending his duty
at the Old Bailey, when a message came to him that
the Lord Mayor was detained by business at the
Mansion-house, and that it was wished that he could
attend. Feeling strongly the importance of the oh.
ject for which they were now assembled, and con-
ceiving it the duty of every Magistrate to do every
thing. in his power for the prevention of crimes, Le
did not hesitate for a moment to attend to the call.
lie had, indeed, witnessed, in the course of his duties
at the Old Bailey, scenes which must afflict every
heart, and which were not unconnected with the ob-
jects of the present Meeting. The Corporation of
the City of L'indon had bestowed a considerable de-
wier of attention to this subject; but he trusted, that,
trom the numerous and respectable Meeting that he
then SAW assembled, some course might be pointed
out, which would have considerable effect in dimi-
nishing, if not entirely removing, the evil which was
btu too obvious.

The Rev. Mr. WAITE 243 then read a very long
and able Report of the Provisional Committee of the
Society that had already been instituted. The Insti-
tution commenced in the year 181'2, and took every
pains in their power to impress upon the public mind
the enormity of the evil that called for redress. A
Petition, signed by 1,000 householders of Londe!),
was presented to the Corporation, who took it into
their consideration, and passed the following Rese.
lotion :—" That this Court, being deeply interested
in the preservation orpublic morals, and in the wel-
fare of the youth of this city, is much impressed with
the Report of the Committee appointed to consider
the Petition of upwards of 2,000 inhabitant lvelse-
holders, complaining of the great number of Prosti-
tutes which frequent the pubh: streets ; by which it
appears, that the evil referr2d to in the said Petition
exists, in a degree and to an extent so great, as loudly
to call upon this Court to use the utmost possible
means to remove it, and to prevent its pernicious hi-
fluence." Several other Resolutions were passed at
the same time for the furtherance of the object. At
first, there was a house taken at SLepney, for the ac-
conimedetion of such females as appenred to be
wholly destitute. The Asylum was now in Church.
lane, Whitecleipel. The Committee were convinced
from ezperience, th It a majority of the prostitutes
that walk the streets, would eever forsake that prac-
tice while it yielied them enoegli to supply their
wants; but still there were a great mitny who had
been seduced, and would be very glad to return to
the paths of virtue, if they could Eed a temporary
asylum and honest employment. Tee females who
had been admittO into the Asylum did not cost the
Institution !note than .1;. 6d. a.everk ; their own la-
bour supplying the t'...rtaininiv J. which was Re.
cessary for their
The Repot; area so voluminous, that we find it
itopossii,:e to give retire than a very short abstract of
it : it generelly recommended the clearing the streets
from prostilutea, and sending them to some tempo-
rary sisyluin, where pains should be taken to tit them
torlensployment, and to get them into service. The
Report stated numerous cases of the most aggravated
and afflicting species of seduction ; and particularly
recommended the prosecution of those procuresses,
and keepers of brothels, who take every possible means
of inveigling young women to their houses, for the
purposes of prostitution.
The Rev. JOSEPII Mom moved the first resolution,
which was suggested by the report which had been
read. He drew an animated picture of the miseries
into which unhappy females are reduced by crime ;
and appealed to the feelings of the audience of both
sexes, whether it was not absolutely necessary to take
some steps to remove, or at least to diminish, so
great an evil.
The Rev G. CLAYTON, jun. seconded the motion
in a very eloquent speech, which was received with
great applause. After dwelling in a very feeling
manner on the miseries to which unhappy females are
so liable, he confessed that, at first, he doubted whe-
ther any important benefit could result from the la-
obours of the Society. Upon mature deliberation, how-
ever, he WAS now convinced that much gocd might be
done. He was not So sanguine or Utopian in his ideas,
as to expect that any rapid reformation of public mo-
rals could be rape: tea from the adoption of the reso-
lutions which were now prvesed to them. He had
no doubt, however, that they would tend immediately
to diminish the evil, aad that it was within their
power to reclaim a number of indivichtals, who would
otherwise he irrecoverably plunged in vice arid misery.
How great must be their jerat reclaiming any from
this gtblph of ruin and perdition ? It would be a joy,
something bordering on the divine and celestial joy,
such as we read that the angels feel iii Heaven when
one sinner repetitetle—(Lud enpause.)—Such joy
the subscribeis to th. present If:unlace, would feel,
even although the !..lormation of manners migltt nut
be so general as was hoped. The company present
should recollect, that if this country stood. now high
and' ere-ernineut in Europe,—if England was the
brightest star in the constellation of !wee was
owing, not trimly to the benignity of tae throne,
the %%velum of its c,atsellorF., • the lA-every and rriag-
nanirni.y of its niiitery debeider,,, but, in a still
greater degree, to its moral character— (( ettie/arere.
As long as they chelished and cultivated these tioral
and religioes le, hogs, England would eti_l stand as
a rock ainiele the %raves, utt.iss:til.tble itsAt, and the
hula ark of min r nations. He had no doubt but that
the asenilrly he saw before him, was numerous and
respectable enough to originate propositions

Would lead to the most important
were several other speakers, principally
in support of the different resolutions.)
The Rev. Mr. Hvri. strongly recommend..l lie
encourageMent of females in ail t!,ose situatoe
which wete equally fitting, or more fitting, te womiei
than to men. He had seen in mail shoos ( f babe:.
dashers, milliners, linen•drapers, and odwrs, men
only employed. He had asked s ,-ne of Ole shop.
keepers why they did not rather employ wont_.!, who
were certainly as well qualified to ineasnre tape and
linen as the men ? The answer was, as he conceive',
a libel on the female sex. The shop-keepers told
him, thatalie ladies prererred being Lc! ved Ey mete
than by women. The conseqoerce nr this unjust
preference was, that no less titan 5010 females, who
otherwise might have obtained an honest livelihool
by the employment, were driven out into the streets.
He thought that the ladies shotild take up this impor-
tant consideration ; and, for the good of Veit- own
St•X, prefer dealing with those shops v.hcrc females
were employed.
The Rev. ROWLAND HILL hailed with much satis•
factien the enthusiasm displayed en tl:e pfes,ent
sion by the Lord Mayor, Allarnien, itnd e"...otrirrit,h
Council of the City of London. He st..ls .t
And ‘vorse then a monster, who did not respect ti:e
female character, or who would betray it to guilt ;
and he lamented that the character of the s.a:uLer w.. 3
not held in equal [terror with that of tl.esedoced. lle
then called the attention of Ole tneetino to another
consideration. We prrpetually ear.! Horn neistura
send mistresses, complaints of tie badness of servants;
we did mot, however, so often hear the a:imolai:its of
the :attar ebetit the badness of masters and n.istre:;.;.:s.
He coo.ld not conceive any thilig mere et oil, t!, so,
for a ivord which was perheps ::nproper and ;meet-
tinent, but provoked by bid usage, tf•
diatcly a soled:it girl, who was under the pieleieion
•.f her roaster and mistress. From such imr,l::,!iate
dismissal, the ruin of the unfortunate female was
usually the immediate cot:rev:clic:a ; and that ruin
often drove them to prostitution. He had hitherto
given but smell surport to the society ; but Leing now
convinced of the benefits which mi'hr cepected
from it, he was determined to put down his name as
a Life Governor. He advisrd every me present, who,
like him, was old, and whose hairs were oTey, to do
the same. It would he of much more importatice to
Cie society than a subscription of a ;vitt:Nl a year, fr
a man who had probably not m:my year, to lire!
The LORD MAYOR having entered the room, She-
riff Bell immediately resigned the Chair to him. His
Lordship then apologized for not being present
sooner, but he had been detained by his duties at the
Mansion.honse. In the discharge of his ducks there
this day, he had bLen afflicted with the sight of many
of those poor temali.s who were the object -f the con-
:ideration of the present meeting. He bad• given
this st.hic-3 much attention, having lice!' one of the
CAL:nittee of the C otrnon Council, to which
petition of the househol.:et:l was referred. Ile see.

stitu:ion.

Diamond deposed, that he is a waterman, tesidirg itt
Hungerford-market ; about theca o'clo,:k, on laic
Sunday afternoon, he was near the Pagoda Bridge,
in the Park, which was extremely crowded with spec.-
tators viewing if e numerous sbittis on t!le C.t,al ;
some of theta came near the briti,!,e to shew their deo:-
tei ity, and were repeatedly warned ol their danger In
consequence of tie ice not being sufficiently strong in
that part ; bat they persisted, until, of a sadden, it
broke, and several were instantly immersed in t; e
water, amongst whom was tLe deceased. Witness,
and two other watermen, wcre provided with lines,
by which about 7 were got out, who would otherwisl
have inevitably perished ; and others were got out
by the mob ; the deceased seas seen about twenty
minutes above the water; during that time the line
was often thrown to him, but he could not hold by it,
and at last he sunk, and was about an hour and an
half under water, when the body was taken out
lifeless, and carried to St. Martin's Workhouse ; be-
lieves he would have been saved, but for the multi-
tude who crowded to the spot on the alarm being
given, their weight having broke the ice in several
places, and endangered the lives of many. The .161-y,
being fully satisfied with this evidence, returned their
verdict—Accidental Deatli.—Another Inquest waa
held at the same house, on the body of Jantes Hide.

COURT OF KDIOI3IIIWCH, DEC. 15.
FRY V. TIMM

'This was an action by a master bargeman, to re-
toyer damages Against a pilot for in assault. The
parties were employed to navigate a ship down the
Thames from 1,1,1W00. In consequence of the plain-
tiff's want of punctuality in the time he ought to
come on board the. vessel, an altercation ensued,
which terminated in the defendant's repeatedly strik-
ing the plaintiff with his fist.
The Jury found for the plaintiff..--Damages £5O,
Costs 40s.

lIADVEY V. LYDIAN!).
This was an action by the Assignees of Matthew
Bernald Harvey and John Whittle Harvey, late
lookers at Rockford and Billericay, to recover from
the defendant 4339, which bad come to his posses-
sion subsequently to the bankruptcy of the Harveys,
nod to which it was contended the cteditors were en-
titled. The question was, whether the defendant had
n right to retain a bill of exchange, paid him by one
of the bankrupts before the bankruptcy, but which
was nut payable until alter the bankruptcy ?
Lord ELLENROROUGII held, that the property in
the money was in the bankrupts; until it actually
reached the hands of the defendant ; and as in this
case it appeared it did not reach him until subseqnent
to the act of bankruptcy, it of course became vested
in the assignees, for the benefit of all the creditors.
Verdict for the plaintiff, £339, Costs Vb.
SAME V. CRICKITT AND CO.
This was an action by the same plaintiffs against
the Chelmsford bankers, to recover the amount of a
bill for 81000, received by them from the estate of
the bankrupts, Harveys, subsequently to the flight of
John Whittle Harvey. The question for the decision
of the Court was, whether the defendauts had a right
to retain a bill of exchange, payable to the sole order
of one of the Harveys, at a time when that member
of the house had not committed an act of bank-
ruptcy ?
Lord ELLENDOROUGH said, the impression of his
mind was, that as the bill was received for a debt
due to the firm, and afterwards paid in liquidation
of a debt due from the firm, and not from one part-
ner only, the plaintiffs were entitled to recover.—
Bin his Lordship thought the question deserved fur-
ther consideration; and therefore a verdict was found
for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court
upon a case.
INSOLVENT COURT, DECEMBER Is,
A case of onpieasant interest occurred this day.
Mr. Henry Gordon, a gentleman formerly of const-
s'.erable property in Aberdeeoshire, Grenada, and
ether places, sought the benefit of the Act against
d: man Is to the amount, as appeared on his amended
sae. oil , cf £.5.5 out); he first inserted debts to the
ahltskL.l of £10,060, ai.d submitted, through his Coun-
t:l soessrs. Politick and I'. Smith, that no improper
ontiesii,n was atuibuutble to him, inasmuch as he
Is id &Wats as to his list.ility t, r the added sum.—
The Act, however, requiring that disputed, as well
as ackeuwledged debts should be returned, Mr. Gor-
d.,n appeared this day, having amended his schedule
agieeatoy to its requi:itiens. He was then further
ouposi d by his brother, Mr. James Gordon, for
%show Mr. Cowley appeared, on the ground of an
alleged fraudulent conveyance, on the 16th of Feb.
1807, of estates, to the animal amount of 4800 clear of
taxes and parochial dues, to his sistei, WS Hannah
Gordon. The conveyance, as desctibeu in 'the sche-
dule, was to Miss Gordon, in trust, to receive the
rents in licoioation of .4914.0, due to herself and ctlacr
; such was the intention of the deed, as tie.
scribed in the schedule.
Mr. COWLEY, on the part of the opposing creditor,
insisted that the deed should be produced, that it
might speak for itself.
Mr. Pt•LLOCK.—TIie deed was described in the
schedule sonic time back ; had you conceived it rie..
cessary for your client's interest, you might, on ap-
plication, have obtained a copy of it at the Register
Office in Edinburgh.
The Coott, however, (after much contention on
the stil.j ct between t•.e Leoroed Counsel) s:etned to
think the uppearaoce of :ite deed necessary, and
g an hie:math-t that the case should sot ad
over for its pi eduction, Mr. P ,ileck produced a copy
uf it. Tins (.cc.isioned no sinsil degree of surprise,
and Mr. Cowley vihruiTted t!i:it it mist b.: paved.
Mr. Pt Le, Cii..—Y(•ti have called upon toe for the
deed, or a C,,py i)f it ; 1 !:.iVt• you a ceoy.
The Court otieg i.t opinion with Mr. Cowley, Mr.
'homas Emmett, Solicitor, of Brewers' Flail, who
wos a subscribing witness (yet knew nothing of its
conteuts, as it was not prepared in his office), proved
its execution.
The Court, on inspecting the deed, expressed con-
siderable indignation ; sn far from parpotting to he
for the benefit of Miss Hannah Gordon and other
credit, TS, it appeared to be solely to Miss Gordon
herself.
Mr. FOLLOCK.—I hold in my hand a list of various
creditors, wiiose dents, originally 49000 and up-
wards, have been reduced to £3OOO.
In this stage of tue proceeuaigs Mr. H. Gordon
havirg made many attempts through his Counsel,
that he might be examined himself, in explanation of
the eppareet inconsistency between therepresentatinn
of the deed in the schedule and the deed itself, now
sted the Court.
Mr. Gordon—l have reason to think that my
oil., r, equally %% tilt myself, regrets the unhappy
family feuds which have taken place between us ; my
colargement would enabrw me to put an cud to them,
woold the Crust .illow my examination I could
ti.coeciie the apparent disc, rdances, and make it ape
pear coat 1 hove never acted otherwise than as an
honest Man and a man of honour.
The toile and mantier of this gentleman seemed to
have nill‘n etlect, which Mr. Prince Smith, wkeo
was voto Mr. Pollock, t k advantage of, and pro-
poo d that K. Gordon's affairs could be submitted
for raoge meet into the bands of some respectable
Soii‘rtnrs. This prop nution, however, Mi. Covell y
declined.

Mr. P. Smith.—•l have nothing to do with these
drurorditrnikrjrairrs ; 1 will ltnd myself, in their Al-
's Coratiosis, neither to Cain nor Abel, but 1 wish to
'sow and promote a eoncili4toi y spirit.
The Court.—rtith tigh this tired, hearing date so
ton t bark as the 16th 'it Febridry, 1607, could not
have net made iii contemplation of Any trdild uudtr
this act, )et the COUrt it IR possession of power to
