• DOVER, Nuv. SO.

It is much feared that a very respectable pilot of this
place, aimed Henry Barren Thornton, one of the W.f.
dens of the Fellowship, has met with a watery grave.—
He was shipped on Wednesday nght last, about trite
o'clock, on beard a brig from Charente, bound W
London ; the night was exceedingly dark, and blovrist
hard. It is supposed. as he well knew, with the wild
in the quarter, that there must be a great many ship
in the Downs.' and wishing to avoid running fool
of them, that he attempted to pass through the Gull
Stream, and anchor In Margate Roads ; but Mit I
squall of coo(iary wind suddenly overtook them. ad
ran the brig on the Goodwin. near the Bunt Head
as a fishing smack in passing heard the llappiPl
of a vessels sails, but it being so excessively dark,
and the people in the smack being afraid of being drive
ow the sand themselves, could render no assistance
Fourishing smacks have pkked up and brought
here 32 pieces of brandy and a case of wine, which it
conjectured was part of the cargo • f the untortu
vessel; and we hear that a quantity of brandy and
has been carried into Ramsgate, together with the
of a vessel. which leaves no doubt, from the name
painted en it, that it was the Providence Increase,
board which there is too much reason to believe
Thornton was shipped. Mr. Thornton was very mod
respected by his fellow pilots and the inhabitants, of
the regret for his loss is very general.

• •THE MESSAGE TO THE DEAD.

01 messages from the Living to the Dead are no! uncommon i•
the Distil:A:6ls. The Gad have such a ceaseless cenovinsomie-, nt
immortality, that their departed friends are considered as merely
absent ler a time ; and permitted to relieve the hours of separati.o.
by occasional intercourse with the objects of their coliest affection."
See the Notes to 3irs. Brunton's
Thou'rt ;mains hence, my brother!
Oh! my earliest friend farewell!
Thou'rt leaving me without thy voice,
In a lonely home to dwell;
And from the hills, and from the hearth,
And from the household tree,
With thee departs the lingering mirth,
The brightness goes with thee.
But thou, my friend. my brother !
Thou'rt speeding to the shore
Where the dirge.like tone of parting words,
Shall smite the soul no more !
And thou wilt see our holy dead,
The lost on earth and main ;
Into the sheaf of kindred hearts,
Thou wilt be bound again !
Tell thou our friend of boyhood,
That yet his name is heard
On the blue mountains, whence his youth
Pass'd like a swift bright bird.
The light of his exulting brow,
The vision of his glee,
Are on me still—oh still I trust
That smile again to see.
And tell our fair young sister,
The rose cut down in spring,
That yet my gushing soul is filled
With lays she loved to sing.
Her soft deep eyes look through my dream,
Tender and sadly sweet ;
her my heart within me burns
Once more that g to meet !
And tell our whire•haired father,
'Drat in the paths he trode,
The child he loved the last on earth,
Yet walks, and worships Goo.
Say. that his last loud blessing yet
Rests on his soul like dew,
And by it► hallowing I trust
Once more that race to view.
And tell our gentle mother,
That o'er her grave I puur
The sorrows of my spirit forth,
As nn her breast of yore!
Dopy thou art, that soon, bow soon!
Our good and bright will see ;
Oh! brother, broth, r, may 1 dwell
Ere Wog with them anti thee !

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sm. 13.

Elizabeth Richards was indicted for passing a base
Shillitip,on the 29th of July, and a counterfeit sixpence
on the folloaing day.
Sleigh, a police officer, said he saw the prisoner go
into several shops; he followed her into one, and asce►-
taii,ed that die had passed a bad shilling. She then went
nit:, another, where she endeavoured to pass a shilling ;
but the wour‘n to whom she offered it ridiculed the
attempt to deceive her, observing, that if it were dark
she would know the quality of a coin by its feel. Whilst
be was inquiring into her success at tiros last shop, she
made her esca; e, Fut Was taken into custody the next
day by another officer, in the attempt to pass a bad
sixpence.
The CHAIRMAN asked Sleigh'wby he did not arrest
the prisoner when he ascertained that she had passed one
counteifeit shilling, instead of giving her the oppor-
tunity of committing another crime? Sleigh—Why I
thought to make out a case against her.
The CHAIRMAN—You knew that she had passed a
bad shilling ; it was ycur duty to take her into custody.
I don't understand this system of allowing persons to
go at large for the purpose of e: tieing them to be guilty
of another offence. This is nor the way to prevent crime.
Let nie nut hear of such a thing again.
The prisoner was tound Guilty, and sentenced to 12
onths imprisonment.
Seven. hackney-coachmen, named Stone, Phillips,
Hayden, licadshell, Brickley, Wilson, and l readwell,
weir indicted for a riot and assault. It appeared that
there had been a fight (bet oeen two of their fraternity)
in the neighbourhood of Gray's Inn-lane, from which
the prisoners returned in the evening, in two hackney-
coa, hes, which mere driven with great fairy down Hol-
born; hot on entering a street leading iLto Drury-lane,
their progress was stopped by a cart, which gave them
such offence, that they knocked down not only the carter,
but a poor man, whose only fault was his exclaiming
again,t their assaulting the carter. In a short while, the
whole neighbourhood was in an uproar, and on same
officers being sent for, Phillips exclaimed, " D—n my
ekes, let's have a row." Accordingly, with the aid of
another party of hackney-men, who subsequently ar-
rived in two coaches, a general row took place; in the
course of which the officers were assaulted in a most
brutal manner. Every effort was made to apprehend
the ringleader, but only the parties before the Court
ere taken. It appeared, however, that Wilson and
Treadwell were not engaged in the riot, but that they
swod all the time at their horses' beads.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Stone,
Phillips, Hayden, Headshell, and Brickley; and Not
Gully for Wilson and Treadwell.
Stone and Phillips were sentenced to six months im-
prisonment. Hayden, Headsh.ll, and Bi ickley, tf, three
Months each, and all to be kept to hard labour.

Judge having listened to his argument, de:egrni lett to
admit the evidence, at the same time giving him leave
to move the Court upon the print.
Mr. Sergeant Witme now moved for a rule to shew
cause why the verdict should not be set aside upon the
point reserved, citing several cases to shew that parole
testimony in actions of this kind was inadmissible.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that this objec•
tion WAS most iniquitous. It was purely technical, and
was only taken by the defendant to avoid the justice of
the case. His Lordship was at first afraid that in spite
Of the real justice of the case the objection must have'
been held to be good; but on reading the declaration,
he was of opinion that the defendant would be bound
upon the money count. There appeared to be a moral
obligation and a part promise, which was sufficient to
support this count, and parole evidence of that fact was
admissible.
Mr. Justice GAsittac hoped •that the decision of the
Court in this case might be spread• into the mostlemote
corners of the tingdom. The difficulty which they had
found to decide in favour of justice might serve to
teach poor widows, that when they agreed to take a
lease upon certain conditions they should be careful not
to sign it until all the conditions stipulated were fulfilled.
The other Judges being of the same opinion, the
rule was refused.

AIARY-LA-BONNE.

Edward Clarke, a footboy, was Charged on suspicion with having
disturbed the peace of his mistress, at Nottingham Terrace, in the
New Road. Early on Sunday morning the family were alarmed
by a not.e and the boy declared be hid seen two men in the back
area. The watchmen were charged with neglect of duty. The
house door appeared to have been attempted, two loaves parted in
halves were, found its the water closet, and the door, of the water
closet and some washing tuba were marked with pipe clay.
The case watk first brought before Air. Rawi.isson as a matter of
inforrnation,but Mr. Washerley, the keeper of the Regent's.park
watchbouse, haying scorched the garden, and found no footstep but
what corresponded.mith ,the tomboy's shoes, requested that he
might be ordered to write the word rogue. lie wrote" Rouge"
in the clerk's book; and tt was a facsimile of what appeared on the
door and tubs.

Mr. Hewett, the chief officer, examined the premises, and was
decidedly of opinion that no thieves had attempted the house. He
asked the footbuy to give him some chalk ; he said, he had nothing'
but pipe-clay, which mitclied the colour of the writing upon the
door and tubs, and that writing, as before-mentioned, corresponded
with that in the clerk's book.
The footboy was committed for want of bail, to ensure his at-
tendance to answer any charge that may be brought against him.

Yistetday an Inquest was held at St. Bertholomew's
Hospiral, on the body of Sarah Davis, aged 63, who
was unfortunately burnt' at the fire, which took place

PHILLIPS V. CROTCHLEY.

This was atraction of breach of promise of marriage.
It was tried at Westminster before Mr. Justice Bur-
roogb, when evidence having been given of a parole
promise to marry, a verdict was returned for the plain-
tiff—Damages 2001.
Mr. Sergeant Wttok now moved for a rule to show
cause why that verdict should riot be set aside and a
new trial granted, on the ground that the promise of
marriage was not so stated in the declaration as to raise
a breach of contract. The declaration cotsta;ned four
counts; the first of which alleged that the defendant
undertook and faithfully piomised to marry the plain-
tiff; the second, that he promised to marry her upon
request; the -third, to marry within reasonable time;l
and the fourth, to marry generally. The Learned Ser-
geant contended that the only proof of a promise on
the part of the defendant was, that be had said he
would marry the plaintiff when he had provi'ded for his
sister, which, by the terms under which he retained
possession of his property, he was bound to do; and
this the Learned Sergeant submitted was not sufficient
to support the allegations in the declaration, and that
therefore be was entitled to a new trial.
Mr. Justice GASELEZ is quired whether the defendant
had since married ? and was answered in the affirmative.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thought that there was
sufficient evidence of a general promise to support the
allegation contained in the decimation, and he was
therefore of opinion that there was no ground for the
present motion.
Mr. Justice BURROUGH said, that he certainly thought
at the trial that the evidence was amply sufficieat to
support the case.
Mr. Justice PARE agreed with his learned brothers.
Mr. Justice GABEL= having expressed his concur-
rence with the opinion of the rest of the Court, said,
that according to the old cases, it was necessary for a
plaintiff to prove a tender of =triage, and a refusal on
the part of the plaintiff; and although those cases were
not now acted upon, yet the subsequent marriage of a
defendant was.stiong evidence of a breach of promise.
—Rule refused.

OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.

the first Sessions during the present Maynrality, his
Lordship came to the Old Bailey accompanied by Mr.
Sheriff BOOTU in full state.

The presidiag Judges are Mr. Baron nULLOCKI and
MG Justice LITTLEDALK.

Before Mr. Baron Hor.coer..

John M'Canslund was indicted for stealing a port•
manteau containing a quantity of-wearing apparel and
some spoons, the property of John Lawrence, in his
dwelling house, on the 9th of November last. The
property was found at the prisoner's lodgings, in Clare
Market, and a witness proved that he had offered some
of the clothes to him for sale. As there was no evi!ence
to prove that the prisones ever had thv spoons, the
capital part of the charge was abandoned.
Mr. Baron HULLOCK, in summing up the evidence,
VALI the Jury that though the property was taken from
chambers, yet in point of law, if any individual was in
the habit of sleeping in them, they were considered the'
same as his dwelling house.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing, but
not in a dwelling house.
Robert Oades, aged 3:), was charged with stealing a
horse, the property of Mr. Jenkin Jones; there are three
other indictments against him for similar offences, and
one for stealing a bull and three heifers; but as the
robberies had been committed in the county of Essex,
Mr. Baron HULLOCK ordered him to be immediately
removed by Habeas Corpus to Chelmsford gaol, to take
his trial at the ensuing Assizes.

The Vn.4ersal Gazette #* Greece of the 4th of October contains
official accounts, dated Zisife (in Candi:l)4sd Sept. which confirm
the justice of the apprehensions expressed by the Courtier de Sasjoise
There had been, it seems, some skirmishes, which were succeeded
on the 25th of August by a dreadful massacre of the Christians in
the town of Candia : 75U dead bodies were counted in the streets,
besides those which had beets thrown into the sea, the wells, Sic.
Neither age nor sex was spared. Twenty men were left alive to
bury their fellow countrymen, and afterwards thrown by the Turks
in the graves they had dug for their brethren. The Bishop alone
escaped, by seeking refuge in the palace of the Pacha. The Turks
afterwards sallied from the fortress, and massacred all the Chris-
tians they could find in the vicinity. The Turks in liettimn acted
in the same manner, and murdered above sixty Christians—even
the Priest, while performing Mass at the altar.

THE LATE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.

The recovery of the Earl of LIVERPOOL from the
melancholy malady into which he fell by a stroke of
apoplexy on the 17th of Fehr uary,lB27, being from the
6,st hopeless, its termination in death was an object
rather to be desired then deprecated; and now that the
event has actually taken place, we should consider it as
a relic', and net as a new affliction, to his surviving
friends. The event took place yesterday morning, at
an early hour, at Coombe Wood. His death was sud-
den and unexpected, as his Lordship had for some time
pre,irrusly been in better health than usual. Since his
severe attack in the spring of 1827. his Lordship's pub-
lic hie had ceased, and he had been the subject of inte-
rest only to his personal friends. These were, indeed,
numerous and warm, but the nature of his malady de-
Died Access to his presence to all but his immediate at-
tendants and the members of his own family. The
enoevence has been, as it always is in such cases, no
longer living to the world—the world ha I ceased to
live es him. The account of that death, which would,
two years ago, have created a great sensation, will be
reed with less attention than that of many meaner, and
less able, and less amiable m .n. His Lordship was
very early introduced into Parlianseat, and, after pass-
in?, through several inferior offices, was made Home
Secretary in 1807; he became Colonial Secretary in
isio, on the retirement of Lord CASTLEREAGH; and
Freign S c.etary in ISIO. In 1812, he was made
F:rst Lord of the Treasury, on the death of Mr. PER-
cEyAL, which office he held for the long period of
tom leCTI years. His Lordship was tv ice married.
The present Countess is a sister of Sir Roar. CHESTER.
The honours of the deceased Earl will descend to his
Lordship's brother, the Honourable CECIL Jetaxtrasos.
For the purity of his moral conduct, the rectitude of his
mind, and the uniformity of hii political principles, his
Lordship was much and deservedly respected. indeed
be was never tempted to swerve from the course which
was prescribed to him by his excellent. father.

WILSON N. JONES.

The plaintiff in this case was a plumber and glazier,
and the defendant WA$ a butcher. By the plaintiff's
evidence it appealed that the defendant had engaged
with the plaintiff to line a cistern with lead for 81. 10s
the latter to take out part of the account in meat. The
plaintiff performed the work he had undertaken, with
some other work, which raised his bill to 15/. odd. A
set off of 101. 17s. was aJmi ted, for meat furnished by
the defendant, which reduced the plaintiff's demand
to 41.165.

Fir the defence witnesses were called, by whom it
w4s attempted to be shown, that the defendant had
made the contract with a person named Evans, a
penter, who was to employ the plaintiff; but thi. was
contraticted by Evans. That the plaintiff
had performed the work was not denied.
The Jury, srithot.t he,itation, found a verdict for the
plaintiff—Damages, 41. 16s.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Wisrmuteras, DEC. 4.
MACIDONALD.V. DALE.
'the defendant in this action is a cart.owner, and
engaged with the plainttff carry twelve puncheons
of turpentine from B.ittersea to the latter's warehouse
in the Borough, on a cetta;n day. The de'endaut did
not do so, and the plaintiff now brought his action for
breach of contract. The witnesses for the plaintiff
proved that part only of the puncheons arrived; and
that if they had all come on the dsy the defendant
promised, they could have been sold for ready money.
A clerk of the plaintiff proved also that when he coin•
plained to the defendant of the non-peif rmance of his
engagement, the latter excused himself by saying that
a cart that was to have brought the other puncheon's had
been sent out in the moining, and had, contrary to his
expectations, been detained and loaded back from the
place he had sent it to.
On behalf of the defendant, three witnesses proved
that a waggon belonging to the defendant did arrive
at the wharf where the plaintiff had directed him to
fetch the turpentine from, time enough to have carried
it to the plaintiff's warehouse on the day app inted ;
but that the waggoner was obliged to he turned away,

While nearly every department or modification of Art and
Scieece, of Ethics and Politica, possesses its periodical represen:
wive of more or less frequent recorrehm, it appears a singular
deficiency that the Mitteaav and NAVAL Seamen, so irlportant
in their extent, duties,* and attainments, should command no dis.
text Work of professional intelligence and communication of
noble frequency and convenient form.
The publication of the Periodical Work here announced, Ins
ken prnjected, not only u a means of eOIOIIINICIITION on ranee,-
iIOAL loriep between Gentlemen engaged in the respective Ser-
vices, but as a Donk wherein the grander Military and Naval
eyries of the age, individual Narratives by Officers now living, and
Biographical Memoirs of those who are deceased, may be per-
=fleetly embodied. To Professional Gentlemen, the record of
thew events, and these personal Histories, cannot but be of the
rarest eilue ; while to the Public at large they will afford.sub-
jtcts of the most exciting interest.
Bat deeply interesting, and even instructive, as these narratives
rust be, they will form but a portion of the intended Work. We
►ave already spoken of its being a medium for the Correspondence
of Officers; to which we may add, that it will form a permanent
Chronicle of the proceedings of Coewrs Maynat, and of the La-
smarm, as regards Naval and Military Affairs; that it will
contain invetigations, discussions, and new Plans relative to the
inert scientific ports of the Professions, such as FORTIFICATION,
NAVIGATION, and TACTIC/ in gential ; and that one
•f the main departments of the Journal will consist of a Review
"of NM:ratios, connected with the Army and Navy.
It is custom'ary, with the advent of a newt Periodical, to ad_
teethe the principles on which it wil! be conducted; and we may
here state briefly, that the objects which we shall keep steadily
and anxiously in view, will be the inculcation and support of rewa-
rded Discipline, the bond and charter of all Armed Bodies ;
the Interchange and Extension of Military and Naval Informa-
tion; the promotion of high minded Loyalty and Love of Country ;
&encouragement of lofty Feeling and honourable Ambition, and
the eicitcmene of Professional and Literary emulation.
The Work will be conducted by an Officer, of his Majesty's
!mice, who has already insured the effective co-operation of Gen-
drake of high rank, not only in the United Services, but lo So•
My and literary fame.

FROM THE DANUBE, Nov. 23.

, A ;Foote may now be rapeered in the affairs of the East which
aridt.t br favourable to the effecting of an accommodation between
the belligerent Powers. The neutrals will certainly neglect nothing
to hinder the contest front beginning anew. The Russian army
now directs all its e Mat ts ag Mork the taking of which will
probably close the campaign. The 'forks seem to confine them
selves to the deface of that place, without intending to undertake
any farther operations. Field Mar-hal Wittgenstein has already
remove) his head quarters to the left hack of the !Danube, sod we
may, perhaps. soon hear that the Capitan Paclia,now made Grand
Vizier, who has had opportunities enough of learning the generous
sentiments of the Russian Emperor, bas taken up bits/inter quer.
tees at Adrianople. However Abe Sultan may be diypossid to war, he
must now be convinced that even if it were in the power of Russia
to overthiow the Turkish Empire, the Emperor Nicholas never
entertaturd any such a plan, acid that on the contrary his wish is to
restore peace as soon as possii,le. Though the Grand Viziet
been deposed, the persons under bins all remained in °dice. The
Deputies who signed the Treaty of Ackermann are in the camp of
the Grand Visiet they are better acquainted with jAaropran
politics than any of the Turkish diplomatists, and their counsels can
only tend to peace. The grant of firlll3llB for the 'Aline of ships
with cargoes for the Black Sea, though only in return for a bignilir
permission from Russia fur ships to Qtypstantinopine seems to indi-
cate that the animosity of the Porte has abated and given way to
cool Mb:oleo, though the Divan still dors every thing in harmer

COVENT.GAR DV!.

Last night the comedy of the BeWs Stratagem was
performed at this theatre, in which Mr. Gaunt enacted
the part of Flatter. We have already given our opinion
of this Gentleman in Figaro ; his capabilities as an actor
in the lighter walks of the drama are undoubted; them
is an easy gaiety in his deportment, a gentlemanly de-
meanour, and a playfulness in his acting, particularly in
the character of last night, which at once makes hilts an'
acquisition to the stage, and a great favourite with the
pialic. Letitia Hardy leas re formed by MissiAallAlt,
who reminds us much of MISsFOOTIL She played it with
much naivete and archne.s. The song, N Where are you
going, my pretty maid F' she 4airo in a very pleasing
manner, and tamed into the spirit of thecharacternoith
all that vivacity which is inessential to a correct penoni-
fication of it. In the masquerade scene ihe lens equally
animated and &wing. and sang 00 Robe_ d'Ansour
with considerable effect, waltzing to the attains.. with
much elegance. It is paying no ill compliment to Mr. C.
gamut to say, that so this character he is unrivalled.
In comedy Mr. Kum.' is peculiat)y gteat. He enters
into the i sqyanr of genteel comedy, makes the character,
be it what it gam his own, and glees a finished portrait
of what-the author has sketched. Mrs...Gana, as Lady
Racket, was full of life; 'and the reiumetabio oldlatber,
Hardy, was, in the hands of Mr. FA wear:, personified
with the fidelity of truth. Indeed, thee e-is a dominos
in this Gentleman's pteformaucei which are worthy of
imitation by some of our comedians, who. in exacting
old Gentlemen. ur9 often piee the taus to their fancy,
and overstep the G. modesty" of Nature.

This hoose was welt titled last night by Ups and

the last. A Comedy has rarely been rr saluted which
has improved more in its performance ,itiee its first re
presentation than Ups and !:owns. It is A piece i,t satita
upon human nature, lather than 'ea part cut room the ac-
tion of lite,' and the satire is pointed. Mr. Mudkerry is,
of course, an esagoration ; but as that exaggetattos
is in proportion w and in harmony with the other cha-
racter., it does nut strike us as a defor mitt. Lb/011
was never m .te at ease; at first he played the part
tinder some apparent restraint, but he has now ova COMO
it,and gives Lull effect to the dialogue put into his mouth.
All the situa.ious are laughable. but in the third ict,
they rise to a climes of ridiculousness which, wiib
Lwow's absurdities of action and vulgarisms 4
speech, is almost painful. Jonas, as Jack Pointer.
is the clew of union running through the three de.
grees of socie.y. iR which Mr. Mudlrerry by turns
endeavours to figure; and .his part is made up of
a STA, t brown suit of clothes,- a, red silk neckcloth,
short steer and quick, and the eternally repeated words
as delsco its motors." It is sometimes surprosing.how
this actor, by mere hieOnsotion, can give effect us the
very little of sit-or point placed on m.er for hisnlitiew-

without approbation; HAKIM'S " proceed" occasioned
almost as many fits of laughter as there were varieties
in the tone in which it was uttered,; Listosicarries what
may be called the proprieties of his part to a singular

as he himself says, when he fancies he has been thrown
