Tigre Allgenseine eitung of the 4th, received this
morning with the German Papers, cr•ntains some fur-
ther accounts of the successful career of the SULTAN in
'the reform of his army, and the complete annihilation
of that once formidable weapon of military despotism,
,the Janissaries. The following is the article:

IItiIDPATU 11. WILLIA/411.

This was an action by an Attorney of Bath, against
one of two elderly maiden ladies for defamation. The
scandal charged was, that the defendant h4d said the
plaintiff was guilty of forgery, and had conducted him.
self fraudulently in his practice of an attorney.

" Be to their faults a little !blind,
Be to their virtues very kind,
. And clap a padlock on their mind !"
He did not mean to say that the Proprietors of News?
papers were from this to publish what they pleased ;
but he would say, if in any Newspaper or Magazine a
paragraph appeared indicative of personal malice, upon
the publishers of such he would say let the vengeance
of the law overtake them ; if damages are sought-let
Juries give them, and heavily. Or, if criminal proceed-
ings are instituted, let the Jury find the party guilty,
and the Court award its judgment. But the present
was not one of those cases—it was one which, it even
from technicality a, verdict should be even and da-
mages obtained, the Jury would feel bound to cut them
down cos sum altogether nominal. He bad to remind
the Jury that they had not to try what were the di;
rections that had been given by the father on his
death-bed with respect to this unfortunate lunatic,
or whether it was proper he should have been sent to
the Lunatic Asylum? till that was perfectly immate-
rial ; the sole circumstance on which they were to pro-
nounce their opinion was, the state in which the un-
happy man was first discovered, for the paragraph
related to that period of time alone, and to the state
in which he was then fund ; nor, with the exception
of its stating that ten or fifteen years before this, the
lunatic was able to walk—with this exception only,
the paragraph states, on such k day, such an oc-
currence took place, and that such and such things
were discovered. His Learned Friend (Mr. Campbell),
was inacurate in stating, with respect to the publica-
tion of these paragraphs, that they were inserted with a
view to prejudice the public mind, because a prosecu-
tion bad been commenced respecting this transaction.
It was true, that such a prosecution was commenced,
and now stood for trial ; but it was not true that these
paragraphs were inserted with such a view, as the first
paragraph appeared on the 11th of February and the
second on the 25th, before this prosecution commenced.
Having stated these circumstances, he would proceed
to comment on the evidence, during which he would
not only comment, but prove, to the autireyatisfaction
of the Jury, that the teater part adduced was a tissue
of wicked, abominable, and barefaced perjury, and at
the same time of perjury the most clumsy that ever was
exhibited in a Court of Justice. The Learned Counsel
then entered into a minute examination of the evidence
which had been given, and pointed oat as he proceeded
the various contradictions and discrepancies of the wit-
nesses. He proceeded to describe the state in which the
unfortunate man was found, and the Jury would then be
able to form a just opinion on this important subject._
In consequence of various rumours, to which lie would

HATTON-GARDEN.

Joseph Andrews, the driver of a hackney.eoach, was summoned
before Mr. Hones's, for quitting his horses, and leaving them to
the gutdance of another person.
'Alr. William (Innis, shopman to Mr. Ramsay, a pawnbroker,
residing at the corner of laquorpond street, stated, that on Monday
evening a large square of glass had been broken is his employee's
window, and, on guiiey, to the door, be ascertained that it was in
consequence of some lads who were throwing stones at two boys,
who were then driving the defendants coach in a very furious and
incautious manner, to the minutest danger of the passenger.. Com-
plainant ran after the coach to take the number, and, while in the
act of doing so, defendant came up, and, in a mew abusive manner,
inquired what he was about? Complainant merely said—" Ate you
the driver of that coach ? Ifyoube,l shall hold you accomdable

fur the breaking of the window." Defendant then became more
violent than before, told complainant that he was a d—d fool, and
eventually challenged him to light, which wat however declined.

The defendant said that one of the boys who was on the coach-
box was son to the proprietor, and had often driven it before. The
window was broken by a stone, and not by the coach, and, if the
gentman was not a fool, he would bare seen that at once, and he
did not know as he had any right at all to appear to the summons.
Mr. Roacas, however, was of a contrary opinion in that particu-
lar, and, on referring to the Act of Parliament, it appeared that any
hackney coach driver who might be detected in comtuktial hie
horses to the care of auother person was liable to the penalty of ins.
its which sum, together with the costs (3s. W.), he was convicted.
The defendant said he would rather rot in prison than pay it,
vireo if he bad tile money.
Mr. Rooms said that his fonkude would be put to the test, ft 4
one month at all events, unless the money was forthcoming itt
the interval.

according to the depositions, did not appear to exist.

men engaged, there was no druht that the indictment
would be so framed as to embrace fully the charges to
be made against the prisoner. There was another crime
in the calendar—a charge of murder, with intent, it
appeared, to rob the house after the inmates were de.
stroyed. But this charge, as well as that he had just
spoken of (Ms. Wakefield's case), they would be so pod
'as to postpone for the prewnr. He could nor, as one of
his Majesty's Judges, take ova him to try * misde-
meanour, while numbers
.01 poor persons were waiting
the coming on of more serious trials. It WAS said, that

BOW-STREET. •

Xonnuter :1144, a partner in the hoar of Young, Black, and
Youtig, respectable booksellers and.publishera residingin Tavistock-
street, Covent Garden, was summoned to answer the complaint of
a poor woman named Haynes, who, charged the defen4act
assaulting her son, a puny child only ten 'ears of age,awho accom-
panied her to the office.
The mother stated, that on Tuesday evening last, the defendant;
for some imputed offence of a trifling nature, struck the child, who
was then in his employment as errand-boy, a liolent.Now on the
side of the bead, the effects of which were still visible. She also
stated, that Mr. Young, another partner, on a recent ()cession had
horsewhipped her son most severely, and that be and Mr. occasion,
were in the habit of using similar violence towards other buys Who
were is their employment. .• •
Sir Woman Starts.—What! horsewhip almor weak childlike
this ! Really, Mr. Black—
Mr. Black.—lf your Worship will allow me to explain.
Sir Merman Biaam.—Certainly, Sir, I wish you to do so.
Mr. illacl.—ln the first place, I know nothing of the horse.
whipping which the complainant mentioned. It might have hap-
petted, although I confess I doubt it very much:
Complainant.—Oh, Mr. Young himself acknowledged having
horsewhipped the child when I taxed him with it.
Mr. Black.—With respect to the present charge, I certainly admit
that I. struck the boy on the cheek, in doing which, I believe, his
head came in contact with the desk where I sat, but I had no in-
tention of hurting him; the reason why I chastised him was, br-
omic he was repeating the words of an indecent song, whichhe-
was in the act of writing out.

Sir ilicitama Biume.:--This is no justification of your conduct.
You hare no riAt to lay violent hands on boys in your employnient.
England is a land of liberty, Sir, where the meanest shall find pro.
tection, and where the infliction of the whip is not to be tolerated.
You must either find hail for the present assault, or satisfy this pour
woman for the blow you struck her son:
Mr. Black, accompanied by tbe complainant and child, then left
the office. After sonic time the mother returned, and said that she
was satiafied.

NORTHERN RAIL-ROAD COMPANY.

Yesterday a meeting of the Shareholders in this Company took
place at the London Tavera, for the purpose of contiderlng the pro-
priety of dissolving the Company, on account of difficaltks which
presented themselves.—The Report having been read,
Mr. WRIGHT (a Director) objected to the Report, and moved an
amendment, that it was not advisable to break up the concern. but
that all the Shareholders, who pleased to give notice within a ter-
nisi time, might withdraw their deposits, according to the propor-
tion mentioned in the Report.
A long conversation followed. in which it was admitted. that
though the majority of Shareholders might think proper to with-
draw from the Company, there still was a chance of the continuance
of the coacern, from the high promise of advantage. The amend-
ment was agreed to ; so that the Company is still in existence.
Mr. Wright, to spew that money was not wanting in the city. de-
clared to the meeting, that a friend of bis bad been offered, the day
before, £200,000 at St pet Cent. for any time he pleased. (A laugh).

of the 17th of May, as be was returning from Wolter.
haropt,in to Pattingham, underwent the dreadful stn•
tence of the law on the new drop, in front of the county
.gard at Stafford. Bossvorth had an interview with his
sister on Wednesday. rVilliams's mother and two sisters,
and Adams's mother and sister, took a sad last parting
or their condemned sons and brothers bq Thursday, and
a most heart•rending scene it was. Williams was more
o7erpnwered by his feelings in the presence of his mother
and sr t .rs• than Adams. Friday :right the ill•fated
malefactors slept soundly lot some hours, and passed
the early part of Saturday morning in offering up
prayers. At the usual time the Holy Sacrament was
administered to them. A few minutes before eight
o'clock, all she preparations f .r their anal exit from tt.is
world being completed, they were summoned to the
scaffold, which 1114 ms and Williams ascended with
considerable fir mness, but Bosworth was so ovens helmed
by his feelings as to require assistance. They all con.
ducted them .elves with the utmoat propriety, and made
no address to the spectators, but continued in earne?t
prayer till, on a sign..l being given, the drop fell from
beneath their feet, and they were plunged into eternity.
The sufferings of Ad.rms and Bosworth were soon over,
but Williams, being a light weight, struggled for several
minutes. After being suspended for about an hour,
their bodies were cut down and delivered to their friends.
Saturday, Hears Moss, convicted at Shrewsbury attesting two
horses from Waters Upton, oaderwent the dreadful sentence of the
law in front of the County Gaol hs that town. After taking the
Sacrament from the bands of the Chaplain, be ascended the platform

WEYMOUTII, Jurm 23.

The violent proceedings which have taken place at
this Election are beyond description. 'there being
great delac in consequence of the Counsel disputing the
legality of Freeholders' Title Deeds, the Mayor issued
his orders that the hours of polling should be extended
to such time as the law rormild allow. On Tuesday
morning he ordered it to be proclaimed in Court, by
the proper officers, that the poll would he prolonged in
future from four to six o'c!ock. When the hour of tour
arrived, Me hired mob took possession of the Hall, crying
out 4, Blues, do your duty ! do your duty I—Close the
Pall I Close the Poll I—Colonel Gordon for ever !*—
They then hustled the freeholders from the place of
polling, got on the t able of the Court, endeavoured to
pull the Mayor from his chair, and committed the most
daring outrages in defence of all law and authority.
'The Riot Act was read, and an express was dispatched
to Dorchester for the military. Previous to their arrival
the rabble committed various depredations in the Town
Hall; many respet table characters mere assaulted, and
the most aiaborical threats off.:cting the lives of indivi-
duals *ere made use of. The appearance of a party of
Enniskillen Dragoons, however, produced the desired
effect. Each succeeding day has been attended with
the same violent and illegal proceedings. The Mayor
was struck by one of the ruffians, and fell back in bis
chair ftom the blow. The Riot Act was again read.
Mr. Gould Read, the Assessor, and several Gentlemen
in the Court, have been most shamefully assaulted, and
the most horrid language used towards them. Yester-
day the Mayor and Court experienced a renewal of the
insults which we have described. Not only did the mob,
at four o'clock, again forcibly take possess;on of the
Hall, and put an end to the proceeding',, but also threw
Large stones towards the Bench, one of which fell near
Mr. Button, and, had. it struck him, the consequences
must have been serious. Thus has the Chief Magistrate
been again obliged to call in the military in aid of the
civil power during the remainder of the election.
The mak of these unprecedented operations will render it im-
possible that the freeholders in the interest of the other Candidates
will be able to exercise their franchise at this Election.

that they are only aggravating their distress by the

EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY.

Yesterday a Meetirg of the Scrip Holders in the
Equitable Loan Bank Company was held at the City of
London Tavern ; Mr. Vigars in the Chair.
At a meeting of the Shareholders, convened by the
Directors, it had been declared, that no person should
be considered as belonging to the Company, as entitled
to a share of the proceeds, or to attend and vote, except
those who signed the Deed of Settlement. The effect
of this declaration, which was founded on the legal
opinions of Mr. Shadwell and Mr. Pollock, went to ex-
clude the great majority, consisting of original Share-
holders, and Holders of Scrip Receipts.
The CHAIRMAN said, that upon application to Dr.
Lushingtnn he had been favoured with a copy of the
c ire which had been submitted to Counsel, and of their
opinions. He then read the case, and observed, that it
was grounded on the presumption, that the deed was
valid. Now, he was convinced that it was invalid,
horn the citcumstance which had not come to the know-'I
ledge of Counsel, that the majority of the Directors had
not qualified by taking up 'their qualification Shares—
(Hear.) He urged the Proprietors to distegard this
opinion. Truth and common sense. it was said, formed
the foundation of law and equity. They had both truth
and common sense in their favour, and therefore it was
to be presumed tie law was with them.
Mr. Cason then moved, that the opinion of Counsel should be
taken as to the validity of the deed, and what proceedings could be
adopted against the Directors.
The motion was carried, and a subscription was entered bite,
when the Aleeting was sdjoutaed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE:

D. Pearson, about 74 ',ran of lig., who bad lived with Mari
Ana Oarke, of well-known celebrity, was charged by his present
master, Mr.. Mirsh, a wine-merchant, with stealing wine, linen, Sic.
The master said that he believed• the old man was badly con-
nected, and that he had stolen from him'above 100 bottles of wine.
The linen, the prisonsr said, he had received from his former
Master and as to the wine, he had certainly taken half a bottle
now and then, with an old relative, of his (Mr. Marsh's),when that
old Gentleman had thought be had not had enough. He added,
that he had been. in Mrs. Clarke 's service fur fourteen months._

The LORA MAYOR—Arid what did you leave her service for?
I spoke rather favourably of his Royal Highness in her presence,
and I suddenly got my dismissal, but why I was discharged I never
learned afterwaads.

Mr. Marsh said, the prisoner had declared since he had been dis-
missed from his (Mr. Marsh's) service, that be had been Mrs.
Clarke's factotum ; that but for him she never would have got over
the business of the House of Commons; as he was obliged to manage
it for her altogether. The Members of the House thought, he said,
to have the ears of bins for perjury, but they found not a Watch
fur him after all. (A laugh.)
The LORD Maims—Pearson, I believe you are a very sad fellow.
—My Lord, I am as innocent aU through as a babe.
The Loan Movoa—Do you say you did not commit the theft
upon Mr. Marsh of which he has spoken ?—I do say that I did not
steal any linen.
The Logo MAYOR—Do you say you stole nothing else?—Nu ; 1
say nothing about that. _

The LORD MAYOR—WeII; I'll discharge you, because nothing
can be brought home to you, and I'll discharge you too without
giving you a word of advice, for I know it would be useless.
The priioner bowed very low and retired.

GUILDHALL.

Messrs. alafey and .fackson, of Bow-lane, were summoned for
refusing to pay 2s. 2d. carriage and porterage of a parcel. Mr. Jack-
son said, they invariably cut off the odd twopences, tacked on by the
London innkeepers as if they were part of the actual charge for
carriage, and the porters always submitted, till the complainant,
(from the White Horse, Fetter-lane,) summoned them.
Mr. Alderman hLtoway decided against the porter, on the ground
that as the coach books parcels in Wood-street, Mr. Jackson's par-
cels should have been kft there, as the nearest inn to his house,
whereby the porterage would have been 3d. instead of 6d.

SANK NOTES

Mr. P. GREN FELL presented a petition front an individual
named Edward Chance, who stated, that he had discovered a plan
for engraving Bank notes, by which the imitation of them was
rendered more difficult than it was at present. The petitioner
sprayed that the plan might be investigated.
Mr. PEARCE said the Bank bad done every thing in its power
to obtain a note more difficult to imitate than the one they bad at
present, but had failed.
The petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Dawson brought up a Return of Contracts for Jails in
Ireland. ISLAND OF ANTIGUA.
Mr. BARING rose to present a Memorial from the Legislature
and Council of the Island of Antigua. ft complained of the un-
just censures to which the Colonial Legislatures and the planters
bad been exposed, and state 1 the belief of the Petitioners that the
slave population,of the Island of Antigua was in a better condition
with respect to moral and religious culture than those In any other
of the West India Islands. It alledged that the Parliament and Go-
vernment of this country had formerly encouraged the slave trade
as a branch of commerce good per se, and without any reference to
our own West India Colonies, and that this commerce had been car-
ried on to an extent which the Colonial Legislatures had by repeated
and earnest applications to the Government of F.nglaod sought in
vain to abridge. (The Hon. Member here entered into several state-
ments to prove the truth of this aUegation.) The memorialists
then went on to say, that although they protested against the notion
that sugar islands could ever be cultivated by free labour, they
were not unwilling that the experiment should be made in their
island, which presented a very advantgeourbeld fur it, on account of
the superior moral and religious condition of their slaves, provided
an adequate compensation was assured to them. The Hen. Member
expressed his opinion that this suggestion ought to Ise seriously
considered. From all the information he could obtain, he enter-
tained no doubt that the assertion of the Memorial, as to the sops,
riot condition of the Slaves in Antigua, was strictly correct.
-After a few observations from Mr. MANNINO, the Memorial was
laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. W. WHITMORE fixed his Motion on the Corn Lawa for
the 4.5c1 of May.

TAX ON LEECHES.

j In the French Chamber of Demies on the 17th ult.
M. de Pu ymaurin proposed the suppression, of the duty
on the importation of Leeches—(Bursts of laughter).—
He said, that the marshes of France might be sufficient
to supply this branch of commerce. The collectors of
leeches, he remarked, have to apprehend, not only the
French Custom-house Officers, but also the jealousy
of the Spaniards who pursue the same trade. About
eight months ago these barbarians seized a Frenchman
who was seeking leeches; they stripped him naked, tied
him to a tree, and applied to him the leeches he had ob-
tained—(Expression of horror throughout the Assembly).
The unfortunate man, thus abandoned, would have
perished beneath the pangs of his own leeches, bad not
his comrades, the French, delivered him. (Renewed
sensation).--I shall, perhaps, be told that importation
of foreign leeches is injurious to the industry of those
who, atter having discovered the species of food which ,
suits them, studied their manners, and even their amours
(Prolonged bursts of laughter)—devote themselves to
the education of leeches ; I shall reply, that these leeches
so assembled, become the prey of their enemies, water-
rats, and wild ducks. (Still louder laughter.)—A farmer
of La Solonge, having gained 30,000 francs in four
years by the leech trade, had multiplied them in a little
pond to the number of 200,000 disposable ones per year.
He considered his pond as a new Pactolus (Laughter),
when lo! divers .fiocks of wild docks, driven from
the North of Europe by the rigimr of winter, pounced
upon his pond, and in four-and-twenty hoprs swallowed
up at once his leeches and his hopes. (Prolonged ex-
pressions of mirth.)
While waiting until a new system against humours
shall have succceeded the present sanguinous system
(irresistible laughter), until a martyrology of the victims
of leeches be drawn up, we must not throw impediments
in the way of an importation not deemed necessary.—
Already do the Hippocrates of Italy, recognising only
emetics, exclaim No! as to leeches, while the French
Galen, still say Yes. (Laughter).—Discord is intro-
duced into the sanctuary of Hygeia—leeches may, per-
haps, be banished from it; the tax would then become
useless, and leeches no longer be a necessary e►il, and
an object of revenue.
M. de Saint Crlcq thought the tax could not be totally suppressed•
M. de Paytnaurin proposed to reduce it to 5 outlaw, per WOO.
This amendment was rejected.

The quantity of flax imported into Great Britain in
1825, Was 1,084,336 cwt. The quantity of flux and.
linseed imported was 2,480,822 bu.neli. The rape-seed
imported was 488,637 bushels.

Last week we were favoured with a vkit tram Lard anel•.Lady
Liverpool. The preseance of this distinguised Nobleman enlivened
the place, and dispelled therms/el hails too prevalent at this period
of the year. Had his Lordship's stay been of longer duration, it
was in contemplation to present him with an address, expressing the
deep feeling entertained of the eminent sere ces he has rendered
his country, during the many years he has taken so prominent a
part in her eouncik. His Lordship's administration has been charac-
terised by this remarkable feature, that amidst the vaious corms
which have assailed it, be has never made a person. 1 enemy—all
Fades have united to admire the consistency and integrity of his
conduct. His acknowledged character has been found the main stay
and kapport of his colleagues during many periods of great public
excitation ; and it may be truly said of him, that be enjoys at ogee the
confidence of hisSovc reign and the good opinion of his fellow subjects.
