NAVAL EXPERIMENT.

WOOLWICH, AUGUST :AL
Lieutenant Mummy, R.N.'s spring for carronades, by which
two men can load, fire, and rein out the gun ; it also possesses the
great savant:iv of considerably diminishing the recoil.
This invention was yesterday fully tried, in the presence of Capt.
Sir WILLIAH HOWE and Captain Sir CHARLES SULLIVAN, R.N. by
older from the Loris Commi•sioners of the Admiralty. Two
fris,ates launches were manned, and fitted each with an eighteen
pounder, and the result proved, that thirteen rounds were fired by
Lieutenant 11.'s heat in seven minutes, and only eight by the other;
and it must here be observed, that all the men of the opposed boat
wore ernpl.i)ed in working the gun, when the Lieutenant could
bye kept up his fire, and hive advanced or retreated at the same
time; one great advantage of bis plan being, that only two men are
required to work the gun, and by the present mode sig.
It is therefore obvious, by this invention, that in chasing or
retreating you can keep up a constant destructive fire without re-
tarding the progress of the boat, by the necessity of reducing the
number of men at the oars, which. could not be dune under the
pr:senr method of using your gun.
Thr. fair presumption is, that it must meet with general approba-
t'an fr,m its superior utility, and be found a great improvement
r fighlir.g to our boats generally ; atul carronades so fitted may be
z•;•pled with qui a,lvantage on board frigates and smaller vessels.

COMBINATIO.V.

DUBLIN, AUG. 26.
Our readers will perceive by the calendar of the
Commission, that Patrick Hinchey, Thomas Cullen, and
James Walsh, stand over for judgment at the Commis.
sion. They are convicted of cutting and maiming Mr.
Butterworth, on the 25th of June last, under Lord
Ellenborough's Act. In their f ivour, Mr. HAMILTON
moved an arrest of judgment at the close of the last
Commission, and on their ca'e the twelve Judges pro-
nounced an opinion, confirming the finding of the Jury.
Mr. William Hall, of St. Andrew-street, the attorney
of the traversers, has been most indefatigab!c in his
exertions to save the lives of his unfortunate clients;
and, immediately on the decision of the twelve Judges
having been announced, prepared a case, and sent it to
England (or the opinion of the first law officer of that
kingdom. His opinion arrived in town last night, and
it is opposed to that of the twelve Judges of Ireland.
The Attorney-General for England, we understand, in
reply to the queries put to him in Mr. HALL 's case, i,
of opinion. that the verdict ought to be set aside as null
and void altogether, under the Ellenborough Act, in-
asmuch as the Dublin Jury not having found the pri.
Isoners guilty on the first count of the indictment, they
should have been acquitted on all the rest on which
they were arraigned. Mr. HAMILTON, and other
lawyers, are retained by Mr. HALL fur Hinchey and
the rest, and a new arrest of judgment, grounded on
the above opinion, will be immediately moved for.
CORK, Ationsit O.—With an indignation, in which
the city of Cork will participate, we notice a m"st au-
d..cioui outrage which was committed laa Monday on
the person of Mr. T. De ine. O,i that day a gang of
lawless ruffians daringly perambulated the streets, in•
solently visiting every manufactory in the city, and
violently coercing the labourers to quit their work, un-
less the employers acquiesced with an impudent dicta-
tion to pay an increased rate of wages specified by these
regulators of trade. Having visited Mr. Dean's con-
cerns, that Gentleman laudably endeavoured to pro-
tect his people from the brutal controul of these mob-
legislators; and, happening to come in personal cor.tact
with one of them, was assaulted and thrown on the
ground. That any individual connected with the ope-
rative classes of this city should have been found
offending even in the most trivial manner against so
good a man, and so generous a benefactor, is indeed
much to be regretted, because' it spews that neither
active benevolence nor munificent donations are ap-
precia•ed by the insensate rabble, for whose comfort
and improvement they are exercised and bestowed.

MR. MARTIN AT FAULT.

•
Thomas Collins, the driver of the Richmond stage,
No. 9579, appeared at Guildhall, yesterday, on the
complaint of Mr. Martin, to answer to the charge of•
cruelty to one of his horses.
Mr. Martin said—" May it please your Worship, I
saw this man for several dayt_previatts to the cLiy that
I now charge him with cruelty, beating historse in the
most wanton and barbarous manner, when there was
not the smallest occasion for his using the lash ; but
wishing to !elect one case out of many, I fixed upon
that which took place on Wednesday. I ans ready to
swear that when he applied the whip to the poor ani-
mal, it was ready to leap out of its harness. The fel-
low continued beating the horse in this way whether
there was any impediment in the street, to prevent his
going on, or not ; and I have been informed that he is
one of those wretches who take a pleasure in what is
called I making a hand of a horse.' "
The driver said, the horse was a very excellent ani.
mal, but the keeper having neglected putting on the
collar which is called the " hedgehog" (that is, a piece
of leather with spikes in it) to prevent his " hugging"
the other horse, he could not get him on without &great
deal of whipping ; indeed, if he had not flogged him, he
would have driven the other horse on the pavement,
and perhaps through the shop windows.
Mr. Martin; the proprietor of the coach, gave the
driver an excellent character for general humanity to
his cattle; and he added, that nearly all the inha-
bitants of Richmond would say the same of him. He
believed the account Mr. Martin had given was en.
tirely false.
Mr. Martin (who had been compelled to tie up his
hand from having pricked one of his fingers with the
hedgehog) said, that though he, the proprietor, was de-
4irous of screening his man from punishmen., almost
every other stable-keeper in and about London had
thanked him for his exertions to preserve their property.
Mr. Cadogan, a Gentleman who was riding on the
coach on the day in question, said the horse was ex-
tremely refractory, and kept hugging the other leader.
On Ludgate-hill, it was necessary to flog the animal to
keep him off' the pavement, and a Gentleman who saw
this came running after the coachman, to accuse him
of cruelty, but he thought the man did no more than
was necessary to keep the horse in order.
Mr. Martin—My charge is, that he used the animal
cruelly in Fleet-street, and it seems another Gentleman
complained cf his conduct on Ludgate-hill ; besides
the beating in the way this man did, would be at-
tended with the very consequences he said he wished
to prevent.
Mr. Alderman Anus said, that after hearing the evidence of
Mr.Cadogan, he hoped •Mr. Martin would not press for conviction.
A long desultory conversation then took place be-
tween the Alderman and Mr. Martin, in the course of
which the Alderman observed, that he thought Mr.
Martin was inclined to draw the line too tight ; he was
disposed to think there were times when, by using too
much lenity to the horses, the passengers lives were en-
dangered. He did not think there was anything in this
case that amounted to wanton cruelty ; and he wished
Mr. Martin to bear in mind the old proverb of "spare
the rod .and spoil the child."
The case was ultimately dismissed.

Thursday the LORD LiaVIIINANT Of IRELAND ar-
rived in Dublin from Malahide, at a quarter to three o'clock, and
performed the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new Museum
of the Royal College of Surgeons, in Ssephen's-green, in that
,thy. His Excellency was received by the Members and Linn-
dates in masonic costume, and, after the cerenupy, partook of a,
i splendid collation, which was provided on the occasion
