TIM KING V. THZ MAYOR AND JURATS OW RYF.

M. ADAM moved for a tule nial, to set aside the
verdict in this case, which came on f r trial at the
Middlesex Sittings after last term, on an issue founded
on a return to a writbf mandamus. The question was,
ts heftier all the sons of freemen of the burough of
Rye, on the eldest sobs only. were entieled to the f ce-
sium of the borough ? At the trial the verdict, which
wa, given fur the defendant% confitmed the right to the
eldest sons only ; and the Learned C unsel now moved
to set that verdict aside, eb the ground that the SC.
c,nds of the borough tutu' bed many instances in which
the sons of freemen had bean admitted to tie
borough, and there was, he cont!ndedy no kifficitnt evi.
d nce to rtbut the plesum; t'on that the invariable cus-
tom was to admit all the sons to the freedom of the
borough. The Learned C.bosel stated that the ease
was nut fully gone into at tie trial) Lord T, am den '
having expressed a strong opinion on the facts given
in evidence. against the right contended lot on the part
of the prosecbtion.
The COURT, after hearing the Learned Counstl at
some length in support of his motion, were of opinion
that the verdict ought not to be disturbed, and conse-
quently refused the rule.

CORONERS INQUEST.

Tilt LATt ACCIDINT AT OOVgNT-GARD&N TNIATiII.

Lau night an inquityytai•made at Middlesex Hos-
pital, before Mr. &laws% Coroner, and a respectable
Jury, concerning the death of Mr. James Cooke, one of
the sufferers in that unfot inmate occurrence. _ _

•
The evidence given as to the cause of the accident
has, in a great measure, before appeared.—The Theatre
was closed for the purpose of having the gasworks to
moved, and while the workmen were employed,, the
deceased imprudently approached one of the gasometers
with a common back lamp; the essential oil which vies
flowing from it took fire, suffocated Mr. Douglas and
Mr. Fennell before they could escape, and enveloped
the deceased and two others in flame, and atter they
were extinguished, the three last were conveyed to
Middlesex Hospital.
Mr. Charles Waite, jun. House Surgeon, stated that
on Tuesday week Mr. Cooke aas brought there in a
coach, with two more; he was very severely burned
about the face, back, breast, arms, and hands, but not
so much so as one of the others named Skinner, who
still lives. He attended him until half past three o'clock
nit Monday morning, and then he died in consequence
of the burns. _ _

The Jury were desirous of knowing whether Mr.
Cooke was connected in any way with the Therire ;
and Mr. Corder, the Vestry-clerk of St. Paul, Covent-
garden, who was present to give evidence if required,
said be believed he was not ; but he was an ampt,tur in
theatricals, a kind of scientific man, and the conductors
permitted him to be there for his amusement.
The Foreman asked Mr. Waite if vie deceased was
sensible alter he was brought to the Hospital, and whe
Cher he himself ever said how the accident occurred?
Mr. Waite said he was perfectly sen.ible, but it was
not thought prudent to di,tract hl4 mind with inquiries.
It was alerwards suppoied that Berry, the labourer,
who was the third person taken to the Hospital, and
who has suffered least, might be able to give juror ma
Lion; and the Foreman, accompanierk.by one of the
surgeon;, went to'lris bed-side to obtain it; but all the
poor Mks', knew was, that he saw the flame coming,
and he ran away, if possible, to save himself.
TheJary viewed the body, which presented a dreadfpl
spectacle, and returned a verdict, " Accidental Death.'

GLASGOW, JULY 31.

The annual influx of labourers from Ireland has how
commenced. The boats from Belfast are landing great numbers of
stout men and women at the Broomielaw every time they arrive—
almost all of whom are in search of out-door employment.
DREA DPUL Flax—Yesterday morning bet viten twelve
and one o'clock, a fire broke out in one of the workshops of Mr.
Joust GALLOWAY, joiner and cabinet-maker in George.creet. It
spread rapidly over the long range of buildings, and also communi-
cated with the cut wood in the wood yard. After the fire engines
arrived, some time elapsed before the necessary supply of water
could be procured, and when procured, any attempt to save the
premises on fire was rendered altogether fruitless, the fire then
raging with an awful and a defying fury. The whole buildings,
connected with the establishment, except the furniture warehouse,
were burnt to the ground, and only a few logs of wood in the wood
yard xvere saved. Although the firemen could not save the pre-
mises on fire, they were however actively and effectually employed
in preserving the adjoining property, which was only slightly da-
nuged. It is not known how the fire originated. It lasted till
about four o'clock in the morning. Much wood, however, below
the ruins, continued to burn after that hour. The property con-
sumed and destroyed was worth about four thousand pounds. It
was insured to the amount of between two and three thousand
pounds. We have not heard of any perscnal accident on this dis-
tressing occasion.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

....,••

These Gardens last night added to their usual atttac•
Lions a new and very agreeable feature—that of presenting their
•isittirs with a ticket, by which they obtained a chance of gaining
WilltS, suppers, admissions, &c. and the numbers attracted by the
-announcement were extreme. The satisfaction of the gainers, the
good humour with which others heard the announcement' " nil,"
and the general hilarity of the visitors, presented a vety pleasing
spectacle, and made last night one of the most agreeable of :he
season. Some of the fortunati had the pleasure of receiving each
six dozen of wine, and many more admissions for three, including
supper and wines, of two qualities, for the same number. Lottery
%Sheds were stationed in different parts of the Gardens, where the
gainers received their tickets, which, upon being presented to a
place called the "Bureau." in the middle of the Gardens they were
exchanged for very acceptable prizes.
The Cosmoramic and other Views appeared to attract unusual
attention, and are certainly worthy of approval. The Fireworks
were remarkably splendid, and were exhibited to admiration. The
conclusion, the Ilydrupyric Exhibition especially, attracted much
approbation. On the whole it Was one of the most pleasant even-
nip of the season, and afforded much gratification to a crowd of
respectable visitors.

formances on .the Covent Garden stage, the company
have engaged the taglish Opera House, where every
exertion will be used for the entertainment and accom-
modation of their friends and patrons. We rejoice to
hear of this arrangement, as the loss of a week's en-
gagement would be severely felt by many deserving
actors, who are burthened with large families ; and as
such, we heartily. wish them success.
The performances list night were, the Play of
Richard the bud, and the petite Comedy of King,
Charles the Second. KEA N played the tyrant Gldster.'
and in this small theatre, his excellencies in .the cha-
racter were displayed to the greatest advantage; all the,
prominent and established points were given with a:
tome, which reminded us of his performances of the,
past, in his happiest days, and the applause which he
received was proportionate to his exertions. In the-After-
piece, CHARLES KEMBLE'S Mery Monarch was, as•
usual, excellent, and he was well supported byWhaticri,
as &whaler. FAWCETT'S Captain Copp displayed all
that richness of humour which invariably maks the
efforts of this sterling actor; whilst Miss COWARD %
Nary gave proof that she is rapidly advancing to the
first rank of her profession in this line of characters.—
The House was well attended.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL

A smart your man, named William Hendry, was brought before
Mr. Alderman F.taxattovuea yesterday, charged with assaulting
Mr. Cannon, a Gentleman residing in Adam•street, AdelphL
Mr. Cannon stated that he was picking his way through the mud
at the top of Newgate-street, where the pavement is under repair,
between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday evening, when he
heard the prisoner and another person conversing behind him. and
one of them said, " here's a pretty daieey cutter, we'll see If we
cannot make him move faster,' and witness immediately felt his
hat struck down over his nose. This blow was given by the pri-
soner, who carried an umbrella. Complainant asked fur some ex-
planation of this conduct? in reply to which they jeered sad defied
hint. He therefore followed them about till he met with a watch-
man, and gave the one into custody by whom he had been assaul•ed.
He had ample opportunity to apolozise if he thought fit.
The defendant said he bad been drinking rather more than be
should have done, r.t.t he was sorry that be had so efeeded the
Gentleman.

Mr. Cannon expressing himself quite satisfied with this apology,
Mr. Alderman FAIIiekUTUMS dismissed the caw, observing, it
was honourable to Mr. Cannon to forgive him on such terms, and
it was not dishonourable to the defendant to apologise if he had
acted wrong.

lITRACT OE A PRIVATE LETTS,.
By the Palinure, a French brig of war, arririlid here
this morning, in ten days from Navarin, we are in•
formed that the possession of the fortresses of the Morea
was followed by an immediate movement of the
greatest put of General Maison's army towart's the
Isthmus of Corinth, with Ole ulterior intention of estab-
lishing his head quarters at Athens. It, is said that
Como and Mochas have been given up to the Greeks ;
but this is a mere report. There is no doubt that the
French Geveral has decided on occupying the Aerci-
corinthus as a pllrced'asiner; this being necessary as. a
measure of precaution it% case the Sultan should declare
agtirst France.
There are some flying reports relative to certain din.
contents said to exist among the leading members of
the English party in Greece. They are surprised and
dissatisfied at tie fate of their country bring confided
exclusively to one of the parties to the Treaty of Lon-.
don ; nor has it been possible to persuade some of the
most sagacious that the arrival of a Russian army at
Constantinople would. consign Greece, bound hand and
toot, to new masters. Thine wh a are best acquainted'
*it's the state of the war in Turkey no longer entertain
a shadow of a doubt that the next campaign will see
the great object of R issian ambition fully accomplished.

P110)1 THE THE GAZETTE DR FRANCE, DATED NOV. 16.
PARIS, Nov. IS.
_

Letters from the More.,, dated Oct. 20, have been
received at Paris. General Nielson was ring to sail
for Rivas, on board the Conqiiet ant, with Vice Admi.
ral de ltigny, to put an end to the difficulties raised by
the Albanians relative to the occupation of the castle of
the Morea by our troops. It had been reported among
the troops, and the jou; mils here have repeated it, that
it was the intention of General Maison to go beyood
the Morea.

The object of the expedition intrusted to that General
was to rause the Mot ea to be evacuated, and this object
is accomplished. All that can remain to do lot the
emancipation of Greece can only be accomplished in
concert by the time Powers, parties to the Treaty of
London, and France has already shown that it sill not
lemain behind in the execution of such an engagement.
Meantime no difficulty has arisen, as some perm's
have seemed inclined to suppose, between a diphiniatic
agent and the General-in Chief. The instiuctions given
by the three-Powers are the same, and General 11 aison,
who was always a man to p-n tom his duty, follows his
instruction', which are necemoily in perfect harmony
ith those given to the thiee Ambassadors.—Monitear.

TRADE WITH HAYTI.

A letter from Port-an-PrincoOtail tria of Seß-
tember, agates, that the import Any noin tie Ist of
January neit will be 17k per cent. instead of 16. The
law of patents was expected tube promulgated in few
days; sodas merchants would have to pay 300 dollars
instead Of '2.000, such a reduction of charge is expected
on the shipment of returns, as Will meet the additional
duty of 1. per cent. The new law was looked upon
kg. the repectahle establishment at Port-au-Prince as
pointedly levelled at them, with the view of injuring
foreign commerce. The following copy of the new re-
ouiatinns, respecting the qualifications of aliens to be.
curve commission merchants in St. Domingo, and their
liability to the payment of certain duties in that capacity,
is annextd to the letter above mentioned :
" DUTIES ON CONSIGNMENTS.
" Art. 1. No alien can become a consignee if be has not ob-
tained the necessary license from' the President of Hayti, con-
formably to the patent law.
" 2. The patent of the commission merchants shall be registered
at the of of the CommerciatTribunal of the place of residence,
or 0 the Civil Tribunal,where no commercial one exists.
"'3. Every commission merchant shall pay a consignment duty,
which shall be proportioned to the value of consignments. It shall
be of per cent. for natives, and l per cent. for aliens.
" 4. These alone who receive consignments of whole cargoes or
part of them, to sell and make returns, shall be considered as com-
mission merchants.
" S. Minor adventures cannot be consigned to any but commis-
sion merchants.
" 6. The levy of the consignment duties shall be made in the
same manner as the levy of import dirties.
" 7. The consignment duties shall be paid to the Treasury pre•
vious to the sailing of the vessel, together with the other duties,
for the goods received.
" 8. The goods consigned shall be considered as security for the
payment of the consignment duties.
" 9. The levy of the consignment duties shall only commence

Enished by Louts XVIII. as appears from several foimal inscrip-

finished in the twenty-eighth year of his reign, in the year 1822.
The apartment which excites the greatest interest is that wherein
the late Emperor Name()); signed his abdication, in the presence
of his Marshals. The identical table on which it was signed is
preserved as a curious relic, and bears an inscription on a brass

FRENCH PAPERS.

FROM THZ GAZITTS Da FAANCI4 •AUG •3.
BUCHAREST, Jrnv 13.
Private letters from Gallact, which require confirma-
tion, say that, there has been a battle near Bazardjik,
between the Russian vanguard And a Turkish corps of
the army of Hussein Pacha, in which the first were de-
feated. It is added, that in this battle, in which the
Russians attempted to force the position of Bazardjik,
the Turks displayed extraordinary courage and perse-
verance, and baffled the efforts of the Russian coluans,l
which were superior to them; and that having received
reinforcements from Schumla, they were enabled to act
offensively, and killed and wounded great numbers of
the Russians. It is singular that the Russian bulletins,
which are drawn up with so much correctness and re-
gard to truth, have not said any thing that can confirm
the least part of this news; and we know by the latest
and direct accounts from Karasu, dated the 6th, that
the centre of the army was going to march against
Schumla. We must, therefore, wait for official comma-
nications before we give credit to the numerous reports
which are circulated.

The Plague, which sweated to be abating• has is.
creased again with the extreme beat, and the authorities
have been obliged to adopt the most rigorous measures.

(After quoting a few lines froßtAbe Times, relative to
his Majesty's Speech, the Nesse:Ber adds)_" We are
able, as far at least as France is concerned, to satisfy the
Editor of the lines. It is not independently of its
allies, but in concert with them, that .France has con-
ceived its generous expedition to the Morea ; it is the
consequence and the execution of the Treaty of the 6th
July. The conquest of Athens is no pact of the upright
intentions of the French Cabinet. The object of the
expedition is no mysterj to the allies of his Most Chris-
tian Majesty. As for the occupation of Constantinople
by the Russians, we think that if it takes place it will
be to the Emperor no more than a mails of again ma-
nifesting the sentiments of moderation and magnani-
mity which he has shown under all circumstances."

DIEPPE. JULY 29.

The Frene', here say there are nearly two thousand
British in and about Dieppe. As a re.itience it is rather cheaper
than Boulogne, where house-rent is particularly extravagant. It.
the town, is nut indeed so clean ; but the smell from the harbour
at low water, as well as from the ungrateful deposits in the street*
emanating from the interior of the houses, renders the two towns
pretty much on a par in that resprct. As a waterintplace, Dieppe
has in some respects the advantage of Boulogne ; naturally an ad-
vantage, however, of which the inhabitants have nut availed them-
selves so much as they might have done. A -magnificent and ex-
tensive bathing establishment has been erected near the sea, under
the direction of a Company, on a scale far exceeding any other
thing of the kind, and proves a source of attraction to this part of
the coast; but their is tits such thing as a bathing machine em.
ployed as at other places; the bathers wing a sort of swap canvass
tent, or box, fur their sicommodation,placed at some distance from
the sea—a most unsightly and uncomfortable kind of contrivance,
especially on a hard pebbly beach. To the disgrace of the national
character, I bear with concern that some British swindlers have
been recently practising upon the unwary French at this place, and
bate left the odium of their iniquitous proceedings behind them
for the bessin of their fellow-countrymen.
