BRIGHTON, AUGUST 25.

To-day the arnnfcments of the morning commenced
with a grand public breakfaa given.by Lord BIRRELEY
in the Camp of his Regiment near the town, to a nu-
merous and elegant afTemblage. His Royal Highnefs
was prefent, with Mrs. FITZKERBERT and Lady
Elena sesros e, and a confiderable number of perfons
of (Arian. Breakfaft was ferved in Lord BERKS.
Ley's Rate marquee, at twelve ; the band playing
military and popular airs. About one, the company
were fummoned to join in the feltive dance, in a
pavillion prepared for the purpofe adjacent to Lord
BtRitSLET'S tent. It was boarded and covered by
an awning of canvas ;at the centre waved aloft
in air," the Britifh Union Flag ; at the angles, the
Camp Colours of the Royal Glouceßer Regiment.
Captain FISHER. of the Gloucefier, with the Conn
ref. of BERafLtY, commenced the lrvely amufement.
The Panics did not dance, but enjoyed the fits. with
all that cheerfulnefs and polite affability which fo
eminently mark his enaraaer. Several Officers of
the Pettres's fuite, as well as fame of the Officers of
his own regiment, and fome of the Suffer, horn the
adjoining camp, were prefent. The amufements of
the meriting (fsdbionably (peaking) continued till near
four °Wool, when the company retired to prepare for
meeting again this evening, when Lord Betteaxsy,
on the tame ground, gives a grand Ball and Supper.
It was impollible to contemplate this elegant and
truly feßive fcene, without feelings of exultation and
delight I nor could any thing be more happily con-
nefted than the group of objeas which formed the
coup On the rehi, a band of Suffer Reapers
plied their f-iles.. On the WI) a windmill in full
play, was a pinurefque objea. In front, that ocean
which begirds fur happy We, glittering with the
noon-day, and enlivened with the fails that appeared
on its bofom. In the back ground the Downs were
covered with Rocks and golden harvefts. In the
centre. verging towards the Cliff, was a Camp of
Britifh tierces the guardians of their native land ;
in the mitift Of which, their gallant leaders crown
the interval of duty with elegant pleafure, and court
the [miles of beauty. Such an union of heroifm and
beauty has feldom been beheld. Our illußrious
Pities him(elf appeared to feel its force; and the
venerable Lord CIA' moat, who was on the ground,
Teemed to forget his years, in a cheerful and de-
lighted contemplation of the fcene. Perhaps I flull
bet conclude this imperial defcription, by repeating
the twit after this day's dinner at the Caflle--41 The
LAIC, ore low; I the Lead eve bee es; mid the Havre
sap hsoefenorro to defend them."
Lord B aaaaa v kept up the feflivities of the morn-
ing, by giving a fumptuous dinner to the Palace and
all the Company who had participated in the earlier
pleafures of the day. Shortly after dinner, the La-
dies retired to an adjacent tent, for tea and coffee;
and Lord Br ;maxi v, with the PRINCS and the male
part of the company, hips it up pretty brifkly till (even
o'clock. The Ref, God was Chef de Brigade during
this period, and Lord Bea LLLLL Second re command.
There was a grand difcharge of feveral rounds to the
ring and the ; the Army and Navy of Eng-
land; the Volunteers of the United Empire; the Lutes
of Britain ; the Land of Liberty, and the Heroes
(worn to protea them or perifk in their defence. At
half paR liven the bugle founded, and Lady Brake-
LILT appeared in the Pavillion, at the head of a Easy
parts of Britifb beauties, ready to engage in " the
merry dance." Stich a challenge was not to be de-
clined, Captain Ca LCa APT pa/lastly accepted the gaunt-
kg. The Band Rruck up, and in a minute a warns
engagement commenced fees to foot. '4 that was the
humour of it," as PO*/ lays. Nest Mowed the
Irilb Jigg of Cuss e' ClOl4 which was fneceeded by
another lively trills air called, " The Ihinosirre of Ne-
agh," all played in excellent Rile, and kept op by
the Dancers with admirable vivacity. Lord Dues-
tar maintained hi. part with much fpirit and agi-
lity. The party lip it up, until. in the phrate of a

In the mean time all was merry in the camp, all the
men not on guard turned out at eight o'clock, and
marching in quick time to the lively air of -71 m

were infpeßed by Lord .11 ttttt ay.
Notwithftanding the fcliivities of the camp, the

TO THL EDITOR OF Tilt STAR.

SIR-If the Tin(lre had not been fitting, I ear; 1.. r
you would haverpared a reporter of more abii;ty
faithfult,efs for the Niidiand Circuit, than ynosppe.tr
to have done, judging by the report of the 1‘77,1, Trio"
at Leirffler, given in your paper of the tf?th infant.
As I was in Court the whole of the :0 hours or
that trial, I beg leave to put it in your power to do
juflice to the public, by correcting your &cement,
where too much, or tco little tea; (aid in it, or where
fomething elk was (hid than what did really ()ems.
It was not (hewn, as your Reporter elms, that the
articles which the defendants refufed to pay for, had.
been purchafed by meg of the nei,.,alcbonring potters;
for it appeared, by the evidence a the plaintiff, that
they had been fold only to nine other rnanufaaureta
in Staffordthire at that time. Thee nine perfotts.
were (laced to he the culiomers of the plaintiff's Mill,:
to whom the fame quality of Hint pote'der was deli-
vered as to the defendants : great ftrefs being at &ft
laid upon this eircumflance, it there had been more
cuftorners, no doubt, the plaintiff's agents would hare
brought thsm forward. All thefe manufadurers, by
the manner of giving their evidence, appeared to be
men of probity: and I am informed, that moll of
them are perfons of fortune and high refpedability.
They pronounced without hefitation, that the flint
in nueflion, and that only, had produced a diforder
in their works, fitnilar to the one felt by the defen-
dants; that this diforder was new in its kind, and had
brought exceflive loffes upon them ; and that they
had got rid of it firrirly by fubititotinggint Ist:seder
from other mills than thole of the plaintiffs, with.
out farther change of procefs or ingredient. I am
told that the number of potteries in Staffordfltire ex.
ceeds greatly one hundred, yet it was not (hewn that
the fame diforder has at any time been manifeft in
other manufaeories than thole of the defendants, and
the niae manufatflurers aforefaid. The agents of the
plaintiffs, who appear to have had confides-able ad-
drefs in managing this eaufe, would certainly have •
fearched out all Welt inflicters as could be lotond;
and as they produced none, your reporter wa not
warranted in laying gencraTly, that a a very dettruc-
tive diforder prevailed in the Staffordshire potteries."
The defendants, it appeared, did not content them.
raves with the expel iments made at their ovel works
to afceriain the quality of the flint complained
but fent likewife portions of it for trial to three neigh-
bouring manufatiurers, who were not in the praCtice
of Ming the plaintiff's flints, keeping fecret, howe-
ver, the motive for doing fn, and even the name of
the flint powder. The trials were made upon no
(mall leak under there eireurtlances, and the Melts
were the fame.

I heard nothing upon this trial of " a erofs aftion
for a compenfation in damages for the loffes in their
ware," or of " other manufacturers coantrrirT with 1
the defendants," and I think your Reporter, in thefe -
refpefic, clearly travels out of the record. Could I
raped that the Agents of plaintiffs, fo wily iefpee
abl e in themklves, were the fiorthbkil erritfai of
your report, 1 might believe the intention of the
foregoing deviation was to indeed an idea ache tea.
eurreace Ipoten of, not favourable to the credit of thei
defendants. Infinuations, indeed, were freely thrown 1
out by the plaintiffs' Coonfel,* of a cottiNamioa. bu;
there did not appear the fmalleft founda:ion far !
them, and the learned Judge was of that opinion.
I have no defire to detraft from the merit of the
chemical Gentlemen upon this trial, but your Re.
porter ought in mere fairnefs to have noticed the ad.
mirable Argee, whofe analyfes contravened thofe of 1
the three Gentlemen mentioned ; and whofe reafon•
ing contained full as much ef fcience and ingeniity. :
From this part of the evidence! conceived, what I
fence find cannot be couteaett, namely, that the
ICience of the analytis of Runes and earths is yet in ;
an imperfea (tare ; and there feemed, therefnee, al '
irtefiftable preponderance in the tetlimony of the •
nufafturerv, who had made their experiments on `a :
very extenfive kale, and at an infinitely greater ea- i
pence. In this fentiment too, I had the fattsfaftinn to'
find a coincidence With that of the venerable.ludge 4
and who alfo, in his charge to the jury; Paid, that a
verdia for the Plaintiffs werald amount' to a declare.
tion that the manufatturers were all pevjuted men,
which it was impoffible to believe them to be.
With refpelt to the purity of the flint, as ellablifh- •
ed by the Analyfes, there was in my mind a Kill i
greater difficulty arifing from the following dream-
' fiances : The Agents of the plaintiffs admitted the
adulteration with Chart tone, to a certain degree.
&Hedging a necelfity for it, which was however de-
nied -by the witnefies for the defendants, and who
declared it to be a fraudulent prallice. Again, a
" critnefit proved that about four tons of a acme tulle
4
Chert, which had been burnt in a limekiln, antg
lured into vitreous stalks, were groan, up with the'
flint, and that the defendants wer• (creed with the
article complained of, out of the mats of flirt ti-at
had-been fo aduheratedi!! This lafl circumaance
was itrougly marked in the charge to the fury, but
as it was unavailing then, no ether ufe, perhaps, can
now be made of it, than to ground an abet lion, that a
true antlytis of fuch mixtures could not give pwreliat.'
If your Reporter ttad attended the String At.zes.
he could not have raid that the Jory gave a serdtet
in the firtt trial witlxist heetation. They went out
of Court, and that implies tome deliberation. At
the fecund trial, it is true, they did not, go out cf
Court, but they were twenty minutes or more is
making up their minds.
I cannot difmifs this fobjgl without expreffing
my regret, that fo few of the gentlemen appointed of
1 the Special jury could make it convenient to arena'
on this intereflingoccaficm: 00 the firti trig} that • ere
only three or four, and at the lag, bat one; :he num.

finement in Giltfpur-Ilreet Compter, and had inti-
mated they would each make a full difclofure. They
were accordingly again indulged with a private
hearing. and each feparately admitted to explain
himfelf, and anfwer all Inch queßions as his Lorellbip
fhould think neceffary to alit them.
Hutchinfon was examined fiat. He foliated his
Lorelfhip's indulgence, and raid he would explain
every thing. He accordingly gave a long account
to criminate Shovel, faying he would prove him
guilty of forgery; and that it was Shovel who had
petfuaded him to take the houfe at No. 4, Suffolk-
lane, Caption-greet; that by his defire he fitted up a
counting-houfe.and told him to pals under the name
of a BMWs, merchant, and he would aft as his
agent, and only wanted him to'fign and accept bills,
by which they would accumulate great wealth, with-
on: having a property in hand. He laid the twelve
bills, for the 5,0001. figned by him at Norwood, were
brought by Shovel and Corock ; that he did not
know the amount of them, and had not examined
them, nor was it explained to him that they were
accepted before he figned them, they being clokly
folded tip. His Lnrdfhip being in poffeffion of
many fads he did not teem to explain. diced him
fevera: leading queftions he did not expel. He
confeifed he had drawn bills on the Southampton
Bank ; that his mother lived in Sackville.ftreet,
Piccadilly ; his father lives in Bruffels ; that he
firft became acquainted. with Shovel, when they
were both prifoners in a fpunging-houfe ; that he
had not lived above four or five months in Suf-
folk lane ; that he knew feveral names mentioned,
better known upon bills, than in the payment of
them; that Shovel palled for his agent, and Corock
for his clerk.
Robert Corock was next called in. He raid he
sifted under Shovel and Hutchinfon as a clerk, and '
that Shovel had defired him to write to a young gen-
tleman of large fortune, who he beard was in
want of a temporary fum of money. He accord.
ingly wrote to the gentleman, faying he might
be fupplied with any fum upon the fhorteft notice.
upon certain conditions. This gentleman having
defired an interview with the writer of the letter,
Shovel and he waited upon him, and were informed
that he wanted to,000l.; that Shovel agreed with
this young gentleman to procure him immediately
soool. upon his acceptance of bills for that fum, at
fix month. date, and for which he was to allow five
per cent. difeount. and half a crown for commiffion ;
that Shovel gave him 31. 4s. to purchafe twelve
Ramps for thrift notes, which were filled up, but not
figned. when this young gentleman accepted them.
--[Here the young, gentleman being prefent, (aid
the prifoner defired him to write the' acceptance in
the middle of the notes with red ink,j—Corock
continued, that when Shovel and he had got there
notes, they went to Mr. Hutchinfon, at Norwood,
and he figned them. He was defired by Shovel to
go and demand the wool as his property, and to
take Mr. Fuller with him, as a witnefs t'and that
Shovel wanted hint to (wear before a magiftrate,
to its being his property, which he declined. He
sonfeffed the wool was direfted to him Robert
• Corock, Efq. Walworth ; that he advifed Shovel to
give up the sool. worth of wool to Me. Jarman,
the proprietor, upon paying the expence, but not
the other wool, unlefs he got 501 befides the expellee. ,
Shovel being called in, pretended to be very deaf,

guilders. He teemed much more cart down than
the others, and eould fcarcely hold up his head.
