IMPORTANT TO SWORD; OR NOTTLZ-HOLDIRS
At the Berkshire Assizes on Monday, *William Franklin was
tried on the charge of manslaughter. The case arose out of a
pugilistic contest, which lasted for an hour and a ball. The sur-
geon, who examined the body of the deceased, was of opinion
that ie died of apoplexy, brought on by the exertion of the con-
test, as there were no external marks of violence, but a cond.
derable effusion of blood upon the brain. The prisoner was con-
sequently acquitted.—The origin of the above fight arose from a
contest between two boys, in which Franklin and the deceased
were particularly active.
The Junin remarked, that though he had no very great ob.
jection to men trying their strength in a battle when they had
quarrelled, yet there was something exceedingly-brutal ha allow.
ing them to fight so long after'they were exhausted, and when
the worst consequences might be apprehended. He therefore
warned the witness who was second to-the *decease% and all par-
ties concerned, that, by a recent Act of Parliament; they Were
liable to the punishment of Imaspergationfor life; and he would
have them beware how they permitted or engaged in a conflict
of this aggravated character again, for there were persons who
would take care that the law should be enforced against them.
They ought especially to abstain from setting boys on to fight;
he had no objection to men taking a few rounds to try which
was the better man ; but it was shameful to allow them to fight
for an hour and a half.

RIOT AT AST L SY Css A 10 EL.— A dispute has for some
time subsisted between the inhabitants of Astley, its
Lancashire, and the Vicar of Leigh, respecting the
tight of presentation to the perpetual Curacy of the
Chapel. The Vicar nominated Mr. BIREZTT, and on
Sunday week last that Gentleman, accompanied by
a Sheriff's officer and the High Constable of the di-
vision, proceded to take possession of the Chaper..:.....
The party were opposed by a large body of the inhae
bitants who were collected, and Mr. BIRICITT was
very roughly treated ; nor were they able to enter
the Chapel until they had obtained the assistance of
a party of the 7th Dragoon Guards. On Thursday,
three persons, Joseph Rawson, James 'I horpe, and •Jo-
seph Beaumont, were taken into custody, and con-
veyed to Leigh fur examination before sir. Bortaow,
when Joseph Beaumont tor an assault, and Joseph
Rawson and James Thorpe for a riot, and obstructing
the Sheriff's officer in the execution of the writ, were
committed for trial at the West Derby Sessions. Bail,
however, was instantly offered for their appearance,
and they were set at liberty. On the other side, writs
of quart impedit against the Bishop of CH VITEN, the
Vicar of Leigh, and the defacto Curate have been-sent
for, and will probably he served tc-day.
Horduata Occuasaricx.—" It is our painful and disgusting task
this day to notice a charge which has been made against a Right
Reverend Bishop, at Marlborough-street Police Office, at which
human nature revolts. The circumstances are of such public
notoriety at the West End of the Town, that it would be in vain,
if any delicacy were due to the party accused, to attempt to
keep them from general observation. The individual to whom
we allude was recently promoted to an Irish Bishopric, and is
nearly related to a Peer of Parliament. lie is an old, rly man,
and we understand was much respected in that class of society
to which he belonged. On Friday night it appears that he
was detected in a back room of the White Lion
public-
house, in Saint Alban's-place, Saint James's, in a situation
with a private in the Foot Guards, to which we will not
more minutely allude, but which led to his instant appro.
hension and removal -with his companion to the watch-house.
There were not fewer than seven witnesses to the fact; and it
would seem that the Reverend Prelate with difficulty escaped
the vengeance of the populace, who, if not preve:ited by the
peace-officers, would have sacrificed him to their indignation on
the spot; as it was, hr was severely beaten. On being secured
in the watch-house, he offered bail to any amount fur his libera..
don ; but this was very properly refused, and he remained lucked
up in a cell during the night, in a state of mind %Illicit nay be
more easily imagined than described. Saturday wording, he
was conveyed In a hackney-coach to Marlborough Street, and
was soon afterwards followed by the soldier. They were both
pursued by the esecrations and reviling* of the crowd which
had been collected on so extraordinary an occasion.
" Mr. Ores, the presiding Magistrate, determined on a private
examination, at which Mr. ALkav, who attended for the Bishop,
was present. The witnesses were called in Separately, but their
testimony was in all respects consistent. and the case established
was, to a certain extent, of the clearest nature.
" Pilr.ALtier, however, submitted that as the capitaltharge had
nut been'borne out, his lient was entitled to bail ; a proposition
to which we understand Mr. Dem was obliged to accede; and
the wretched-offender was permitted, in the course of the day, to
go at large, upon finding sureties to the aniountof one thouaand
pounds. The soldier, not so fortunate, was committed to take
his_ trial."—Observer.
Cahn Rienar.tas, MAILIC-LANE, JULY 22.—We had a very
large supply of Wheat this morning, but scarcely any denunl,
except for prime samples, which obtained last Menday's priers;
but all other descriptions were ineffectually offered at an abate.
mein of 21. per 9uarter : the quantity remaining on band Is very
considerable, for which no offers could be got. Barley is very
heavy sale, and cheaper, except for prime fresh-threshed sam-
ples, which support last week's prices. Beans and Peas are aL
per quarter lower, the supply of each far exceeding the demand.
Oats are Is: per quarter cheaper, and the trade was very slack
at that abatement. Rape Seed Is 'XI per last lower.--Currency
