MONK, Captain CARTERET, and the litter in the Prince

mouth in a transport from Weymouth under convoy
of the /Anis-cox, Lieutenant Waciasis ; they are
going to Cork, where the regiment is expected to ar.
rive shortly from Portugal.
About two o'clock on Sattirday afternoon, a boat
belonging to a transport at Spithead, with a part of
the 13th Light Dragoons on board, proceeding to
Ireland, unfortunately upset near the platform I in it
were, the wives of two officers of that regiment, a fe•
male servant, a private, the master of the transport.
and his boat's crew • providentially the whole were
saved, although several of the party were a long while
in the water. and it was a considerable time before
animation was restored.
We are sorry to learn that Marshal Brit oosn
perienced a severe accident on the 14th tilt. *hen, ae
he was passing by the Loretto in his curricle, the bar
of the pole broke, and the horses (two of the Prince's
stallions) took fright, and threw him out t his face

nearly passed over his head. His Aide-de-Campo
Conde d'ALvs, who was in the vehicle with him.
escaped unhurt. The patty were returning to Chitral
having come to Lisbon on the lath the day before)
to dine with Don %ow PEREIRA FonjAz.

The Officers of that highly distinguished corps, the
2d battalion 24th Infantry, with their gallant Com-
manding Officer, Lieutenant-Colonel CFSAMBERLIN,
gave, on their return from the Peninsula, a splendid
ball and supper to the fashionable, of the town and
vicinity of Malden. The display of elegance ani
beauty on this occasion, could not but prove highly
gratifying to a distinguished corps which has served
in the Peninsula four years, under the immortal
WELLINGTON, during which time they eminently dis-
tinguished themselves at the metnlrable battles of
Talavera, Busacco, Fuentes de Honora, the reduc.
tion of Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, and very re-
cently at the siege of Burgos, in taking by storm, on
the evening of the 4th October last, the outer work
of that Castle, in a stile of gallantry which called
firth the approbation of the Marquis of Ng/rut/wrote
in his dispatch of the following day to the Secretary
at War.

The volunteering from the Militia regiment! in the
Garrison of Plymouth commented MS the Ist inst.—
The Guards, Sd, 22d, 23d, 46th, 48th, and 85th
regiments, have got a r.umber of fine young men
the last regiment seems the favourite. The volnn.
teering still goes on with spirit, to the no small ad-
vantage of the public-houses and the hackney-coach-
men. The Berkshire regiment turned out 30 more
than their number in less than an hour; and the 2d
Lancashire, with the Shropshire, have completed their
quotas.
The volunteering from the Militia into the Line
goes on at Portsmouth with great spirit. The Here.
ford, Worcester, and Oxford regiments, have fur•
nished their full quotas. The East Suffolk would
have supplied double the number, had it been ree
quired. The Limerick have as yet hung back; nei-
ther have the North Cork nor King's County militia:
produced the requisite number.
The Ayrshire Militia have completed their quota
of volunteers for the line, with their usual alacrity...ft
The ♦olunteering began on Thuriday.
Last week the Renfrewshire Militia marched inter
Carlisle, on their route to Haverfordwest, in Yens•
brokeshire.

regiment of Light Infantry, landed at Leith on Tens

ters, this week, among the Militia regiments quartered
in Portsmouth for the summer.
The embarkation of the Clare and Leitrim resit
ments has been delayed. in consequence of the vo•

lunteering having commenced. -

..HALL.
Yesterday the Appeal from the Island of Jersey
came on to be heard-before the Lords of the Council,
respecting the right of electing Jurats. The Island
possesses a charter, granted to them by King John,
from which time to the present, all the inhabitants
paying rates had voted for officers of all descriptions.
Some time since, a person of the name of Hanly was
elected to the office of Jurat or Judge, which not only
entitled him to sit in an Assembly there, similar to
our House of Commons, but also as a Judge in Courts
held there of Equity, &c. There were objections to
his taking his seat and possession of the offices to
which he had been elected—the following disqualifi-
cations, viz. being a butcher; not appearing in a
clean shirt; and being a disloyal man, by drinking
the health of Bonaparte. The objections were trans.
mitted to Government, who, in reply, reprobated the
mode of conducting the electrons at Jersey : this,
however, was not satisfactory to the contending par-
ties ; in consequence, Commissioners were sent there
to inquire into the business. They reported their
opinion, that the inhabitants had always mistaken the
charter granted by King John ; that it was not in-
tended that all the inhabitants should vote at elections
who paid rates, but only the higher orders of those
who did so. From this Report the inhabitants ap-
pealed.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY and Mr. ALLEN were heard
for the inhabitants at large, and Mr. WETHERALL for
the higher order of the inhabitants ; all reprobating
the Report of the Commissioners.
In answer to what had been alledged against Mr.
I;lanly, as to his business, &c. it was stated in reply,
instead of his being a butcher, he is a contractor for
beasts for Government. His mode of dress was best
left to himself. His drinking Bonaparte's health was
When we were at peace with him, &c. Sir SAMUEL
ROMILLY apologized to their Lordships for not being
so thoroughly master of the subject as he felt he
ought to be, on account of his numerous other en-
gAgements which pressed upon him ; but his defici.
ehcy would be amply made up by his learned friend,
Mr. ALLEN, who would follow him ; and confessed
that he had taken his brief to accommodate, and for
the satisfaction of the parties, they having flattered
him by saying, they did not think their cause so safe
to other hands as his.
This Appeal occupied their Lordships from eleven
till near four o'clock, when the further hearing was
postponed.
LONDON-SESSIONS, APRIL 5.
J. Jarvir was indicted for assaulting Mr. Elridge,
one of the parish officers of St. Bartholomew the
Great. It appeared in evidence, that the defendant
hiving been refused relief from the parish, went to the
prosecutor, and presented a loaded horse-pistol to him.
The Jury, without hesitation, found him Guilty, and
sentenced him to two years imprisonment, to com-
=ince from the date of his original commitment.
R. Coxe and W. Berry were indicted for assaulting
an officer belonging to Hatton Garden. The prose-
cutor stated, that he was coming down Holborn in a
hackney coach with some friends, when they were
stopped by a number of butchers, with marrow-bones
and cleavers. Berry said, that he had been cut by
the coachman with his whip, and he prevented the
prosecutor from getting out of the coach for some
time, till at last he succeeded in getting out, and
pulled Coxe off one of the fore-wheels, where he was
in the attitude of making a blow at the coachman
with his cleaver, and swearing that he would cut the
coach and him in pieces. In securing the two defen-
dants the officer was much beaten. The Jury found
both prisoners Guilty, and they were sentenced each
to six months imprisonment.
J. Hennel, a merchant in Winchester-street, was in-
dicted for assaulting Mr. J. Barker, of Old Broad-
street, on the 11th of February last. It appeared
that Mr. Hennel went to the counting-house of the
prosecutor for the purpose of adjusting some ac-
counts, when a dispute arose, which ended by the de-
fendant seizing the hand of the plaintiff, and pushing
him against an iron chest. This was the ground of
prosecution, and the defendant was found Guilty, and
sentenced to pay a fine of £5.
ASSIZES..
CORNWALL-TRURO, APRIL 3.
Robert Wainwright, belonging to bis Majesty's
schooner Mackarel, was tried for killing a sheep,
which he caused to be put into the beat for the pur-
pose of carrying it on board. The prisoner was
found Guilty, and received sentence of death, but
from his previous good character, and solemn decla-
ration that the affair originated in mere frolic, he was
recommended to mercy, and has since been reprieved.
John Gooling and Elizabeth Wilmot were found
Guilty of stealing a paper parcel containing sundry
bills, checks, and notes, belonging to the North Corn-
wall Bank, which had been entrusted to the care of
Henry Blake, the driver of the heavy coach between
the Indian Queens and Truro. Seven years trans-
portation.
Hocken was found Guilty of stealing a
quantity of wheat. Twelvemonths hard labour, and
fined 1 s.
