AND OSUMI&

This was an application for a criminal information
ainst three persons, the Proprietors of a Sunday
against three persons, the Proprietors of a Sunday
Newspaper, for the publication of a libel on Mr.
Rothschild. The libel imputed to that Gentleman an
endeavour to increase the difficulties found in the Money
Market during the panic. The bill was made absolute
against one of the defendants. The others were also
liable, but in consequence of an affidavit that the tutor-
raeys for the prosecution had consented to drop proceed-
ings against the defendants, provided the author of the
libel was given up, the min as against them was 'not
made absolute.

Mr. BROUGHAM was prepared this day to spew cause
against the ride, and to contend that it ought to be dis-
charged on the ground that the author of the libel had
been sent to the attorneys for the prosecution,,according
to their propo%al.

. .
Mr. Scsat.trr said, he was not disposed to make the rule absolute.
'Alts BROUGHAM thou submitted that it ought -to be discharged
with costs.

The Court were, however, of opinion, that Mr. Brougham's
clients were not entitled to costs.

The ruk was therefore discharged without costs.

extremely well. C. troops on the Liolin, Num on the piano-
forte, acquitted themselves with great credit. Miss G/ANT, in an
air from La Cksisenso di Tito, and in a serenati of Pates displayed
a mingled strength and melody of voice, guided by a pure taste, and
combined with a degree of ease and spirit, whicil hold forth more
than a promise of first-rate excellence. Miss Mutsu, in a song by
CAIA7A, also evinced great powers of voice and considerable exe-
cution. An apology was made for Miss Wassiox, who was to
sing airs out of I: Allegro, but who was too ill to attend. Miss
Ltorn, Messrs. Semsuotierri, Seam, &c. in thavecal department,
performed in a manner, that bespoke great improvement, and gave
very fair promise. Miss Balaciastaaas gave a song of her own
composition, which she executed beautifully, and which would not
discredit an experienced writer. Miss Comma, added accompani-
ments to a song of Ciiaarils, wbieh were very effective. A MS.
Sinfonia, by W. H. Homes (pupil of Dr. Caorcu), was well ima-

A Court Martial assembled this morning, on board
his Majesty's ship Victory, for the purpose of trying Mr.
Robert Marshall, Assistant Surgeon of his' Majesty's
brig Plumper, on charges exhibited against him by Mr.
Barnard, Master of the said brig, for frequent
inebriety, unofficerlike conduct, and associating with the
foremast-men in the galley." After the moat contradic-
tory testimonies were given, the Court came to the fol-
lowing decision, that the charges were not proved
against the said Mr. Robeit Marshall, and therefore ac-
quitted him.
Captain Collier, who commanded the Liverpool when Mr. Mar-
shall was Assistant Surgeon with him, came forward, and gave him
a most flattering character, and stated to the Court, that he did not
know a man in his situation he would so soon have with him again.
There were several other Officers ready to speak in his favour, but
were not required.

. The Members were as follow—Sir M. Seymour, Bart. Captain
Hill, Captain Warren, Captain Inslis, Sir S. Peehell, Bart. Lord
Napier, Lord Byron, Sir Chula* Sullivan, Bart. Captain Curzon,

DUBLIN, Nov. 4.

•
The Evening Mail of last night publishes an article,
expressing regret for the insertion in that Journal on the
7th of August, of a statement reflecting on Lord Ross-
more; which article, the Mail alleges, was caused in
the irritation of the moment by some treatment of Lord
Rot:more towards the Proprietors dl' Editor of that
Journal, which was considered an intentional offence ;1
an impression, it appears, erroneously entertained.
We learn by a letter from Klileshandra, dated the
2d instant, (received yesterday,) that an unfortunate
and fatal rray took place on the day preceding at the
fair of Arvagh. The particulars, as stated by our in-
formant, are as follow : A person of the name of Mul-
ligan had been arrested at the fair by a party of the
police; Mulligan succeeded in rescuing himself from
the.party : this produced a tumult; the country people
took part against the police, and the litter were forced
to retreat for shelter to their barracks: They soon re-
appeared, however, well armed and provided with
ammunition, but unaccompanied by any magistrate or
chief constable. They drew up in the street ; and, as
our informant states, fired on she crowd assembled in
the Fair Green, who had committed no new act of hos-
tility. The result is, that four have been' killed and a
great number wounded, some of them dangerously.

The quantity of tallow shipped this year from Peters-
burgh to all parts, is 89,000 casks ; 1,200 tons of hemp
shipped, price 90 to 93 roubles.
Westminster Hall was extremely crowded yesterday
with the-Gentlemen of the Law and their friends, in

consequence of its being the first day of Term, and it
being generally expected- that the Loan CHANCILLOR
and the Judges would walk in procession through the
Hall to their respective Courts, as was the case before
the old Courts in the. Hall were pulled clOwn, for the
purposes of the Coronation. This old custom was,
however, not observed; their Lordships, as they arrived
in their carriages from Lincoln's Inn Hall, being set
down at the private entrances to the different Courts
opposite St. Margaret's Church.
ViNTav WARD.—The Lord Mayor yesterday. morn.
ing held an adjourned Wardmote, at Cutlers' Hall, for
the purpose of declaring the numbers polled at the
election for a successor to the late Alderman Magnay.
The numbers, his Lordship declared to he—Mr. Sheriff
Winchester, 30; Mr. Wilde, 27. After Unusual form.
alities bad been gone through, Mr. Wilde demanded a
scrutiny. Three scrutineers were then appointed on
each side, and exchange lists given. The Wardmote
was then adjourned. The friends of Mr. Wilde seem
to rely that the election of Mr. Winchester will be set
aside, upon the ground, that on being sworn in as an
, Alderman, he would, according to the City charter,
become at once a magistrate, an office incompatible
with that of Sheriff, as he might be called upon to act
in some cases as both judge and officer. By an Act Ist
Mary, 2d session, cap 8, it is declared that no sheriff
shall exercise the office of a justice of the peace during
the time that he acts as sherifE When an Alderman is
elected sheriff, he is excused from taking his turn in the
justice room and at the sessions, and being chosen for
life,. does not vacate his gown. But Mr. Sheriff Win-
chester is, in the outset, incapacitated by his office from
undertaking the principal duty that would devolve
upon him as an Aldtrman.
An alarming system of robbery, with which the shop
of J. Y. Hatton, watchmaker and silversmith, London.'
bridge.foot, City, bas been visited no less than six times,
'was again put in practice on Saturday 'evening last.,
about a quarter past six o'clock, when a large pane of
thick plate glass in the lower -part of the window, was
beat in with a tremendous blow, as if with a mallet,
and a silver basin, containing four ounces of miscella-
neous broken gold, stolen thereout, with which the
thieves got clear off; who in this instance were ex.
tremely daring, as
.Mrs. Hatton was at the time sitting
in the shop, and Mr. Hatton in an adjoining room.—
They appear,- however, to have watched for a favour.
able opportunity regarding the outside, as on Mr. Hat.
ton going to the door, within a very few seconds of the
crash, there was not only no trace of suspected persons,
but strange to say, scarcely an individual passing at the
time, though generally one of the most continually
thronged thoroughlaiei in London. How, far (if at all)
the energies of the police may have become weakened
by the abolishment of rewards, it may be difficult to
determine; but as regards the robberies at this shopfl
,dirte might as well have been no police at all.
