The Coart opened this monk* at nine o'clock, and
Ow ease of " Res v. Russell" was resumed.
„ Sit J.Scataurrr addressed the jury for the defendints.
Handled the attention of the Jury to the fact,that upon
alts brae of this trial depended the most important in.
%pests of the town and port of Newcastle, and of the
whoie ,county of Nerthauthetliad; for the trade in
told was the principal trade of that port—it drew after
it all others, and upon it the aiuence of the town and
county was dependent. It was important, before they
sane to the question in issue, to recollect certaia points
of the evidence. It was already in evidence, Ott fifty
years ago the business of loading the coal vessels
laid been effected by means of keels. The quantity
at keels thus employed bad been considerable, and
of course had employed a considerable number of
men. Indeed, it had been stated that five hundred
deb, each 'giving eMployment to three men. bad
*sin existed on the river ; but about fifty years- ago
maths of a larger magnitude than had before been
used. bad been erected for loading the coal sesreh.—
Iberians-4 that erection bad been to diminish the
itanalser of. keels, and in consequence the number of
lineleato; bat, so at rattail Cal been the change, that
rfltialbsyttas 1821, no complaint on the pan of ennet
Itasitalior say other person. bad been heard against
tilsritaitie; bit in the year len steal boats had been
imatelated ea the rivet, and their assistance ships of
wpm* greater size than had before been used had been
bemsgbt up the river immediately to the smiths; and
the rank bad bees that the employment of keels and
keelenea bad been in a great degree suddenly abandoned.
Aninservection of the Waleson had taken place in 1822,
wckit had been necessary topit down by a naval and
miry force; bet not a word of complaint had then
byte made against the smiths en nenount of their as-
sent* the navigation gibe river—the objection bed
bugs. that they diatiaished the use of keels, and no
dqpbt that objection was well founded. The pri-
mp prosecution,. thevefere, was only an animist to
bs ag. the port of. Newcastle once more- ender the

and not t uesliojerris, and that a Jury should -like the
whole into their consideration, and decide whether that
which was per as undoubtedly an obstruction, was bat-
e nuisance, but an advantage? But it was net only on
the law of Lord Hale that be (Sir J. Scarlett) relied
He was fotfified •tiy.Ahe opinion of another Learned.
Judge, whom be `might well quote on that circuit,:
co( which' he had so long been One of the ()tightest•
ornaments—not more beloved for the eXcelienee of
his heart, than reverenced for the extent otatid sound
-
mess of his law —he meant Mr. Jestiee litOutOro,.
who had, in an argument before the Court of
King's Bench' on this very case, distinctly recognized
the doctrine of Lord Hale. (Here Sir J. Scariett read
an extract from the judgment of Mr. Justice Holktycl,
in " Rex v. Russell.* 6 B. and C.) It would be import-
ant for the Jury to keep in view, that the Tyne was not
only a navigable river, but a port. The distinction was,
that a mere navigable river, which led to a port, was in
the nature of a highway, and any obstruction in it was
a nuisance; but the moment they entered a port, the
whole ambit of Which was devoted to the loading of
vessels, then an intertuption, which was in concurrence
with the Object for which the port was destined,
was not a nuisance. What was the use of a `port? It
was t) afford facility to the loading of vessels. To use
small craft fot that purpose was not the object but the
disadvantage of a* port, where there were no means of
doing without them. Is was clear too, that staiths of
sonic extent must always exist in tbe river; for if the
ships were loaded by keels, then there must be staiths
to get the coals on board the keels; avid us keels, it had
been proved, drew, when loaded, between five and six
feet water, the staiths must extend at leMt to far beyond
high Water mark. Would not that be an obstruction on the
same principle which made the present staiths one? And
might not the wherries, which only drew eighteen inches,
complain of the obstruction, and insist that all the busi-
ness of the port ought to be performed by wherries? They
were therefore brought back to the question, whether the
obstruction occasioned by the staiths was in a greater
ratio than the advantages which they occasioned ? it
was asto.-ishing, in examining the evidence, to find how
few cases of accident in the space, of SO years had been
proved. Indeed, only one instantf had been given where
the accident resulted from the staiths, the 414 in all
the others having been occasioned by the vessels striking
against the moorings of Other ships. gut even if all
had been the consequence of the staiths, he would
maple to Sir, that the accidents had been fewer, and
of less magnitude, that had happened in any caber port
by ships running against each other whilst lying at
anchor. Ifoben, the accident's from the staiths wets
fewer than the accidents which came from ships lying at
anchor, had he not a right to contend that an advan-
tage, was Reined by smiths, which, by diminishing the
number of ships at anchor, diminished the chance of
accident? . But when they heard that 5:0 ships Doi en-
tered the port where only one entered before, would they
not believe, that if the vessels were now supplied by
keels, the river would not be navigable at all? They
had heard,that a Jury of Conservancy was in the habit
of perambulating the boundaries of the port. Now.
every member of that Jury had a direct interest ip the
navigation of the river; yet tad they head a. single
complaint from them that these staiths wrists, pitisance?
No inch thing ; and the silence of the Jury a amble
arguthent in favour of the staiths. Who wire deeper-
:on: most interested in the river ? The ship-pwners.
And had the ship-owners joined in the.compleint? On'
far from it, that they chose to pay a taX lq order
to have their coals from the smiths, and Itad themselirei
procured an Act of Parliament directljr recotitheing
and encouraging the staiths. The preference therefore
given by the ship-owners was an irrefragible proof that
in their opinion the staiths were not a nuisance% but
an advantage. Wins this view of the case, considering
thelongacquiescence which torsi° years had beep shown
by all parties-s-taking into View the concurrence of the
shipowners, who, by encouraging the itaiths, gave their
opinion of their necessity—regarding the countenance
of the Jury of ConserCancy, who, with these staiths daily
before their qes,,bad never made a complaint—apd
attending to the vast.increase of trade which they had
brought to the port, he felt that he might safely terrain
from calling. witnesses, and trust to their verdict for, the
conclusion that these staiths were not a nuisance, but a
public advantage.
Mr. Baron Hut.t.ocx briefly summed up theistic:
The Jury then retired, and after some. deliberation
returned into Court, and requested the Learned Judge
to read to them the evidence of Mr. Gilt* the en-
gineer. His Lordship did so, and the Jury again re-
tired. After an hour's further deliberation, the Jury
again returned into Court, and delivered the following
verdiett—.4 We find that pate of the navigable chen-
nel of the river Tyne opposite Wall'pencl has been oar.'
rowed, straitened, and obstructed, bat that the trade of
Newcastle has notwithstanding increaied."
A long and animated discussion ensued in Court be-
tween the Counsel on.both sides, as to the operation of
this verdict, Mr. J. WILLIAMS protesting against its
being entered as a special verdict. It was at' length'
agreed xhat it should be left to the Court of king's
Bench to determine how judgment should be entered
up upon the verdict.

Such was her situation when I entered the Ministry.
She had, no doubt, been told that the Emperor had, of

by no means the case. I know in what manner the cir 4
cumstanee originated, and can safely assert, that, whet
he forced her from her attachment to the world, sad
ordered her•tO retire into the country, he only yielded
mate repeated-entreaties and the unfavourable reports
made to him; for it must be acknowledged that he paid
far too much deference to her notions of self-consequence
and to her work upon Germane. Attempts were at
, first made to render her more circumspect, bat all in
' vain. She could neither be silenced nor prevented
from meddling in, and finding fault with, every thing.
She assumed the right to advise, foresee, and controal,

lified to act upon his own judgment. He grew tired
of receiving letters direct from Madame de Smug and
of finding the same subjects discussed in those which

A horrible event has stained with blood the ArtiHer,
School at. Vincennes. At the moment in which the (sir
of siege batteries bad ended, and at the fourth shot of the
first volley of field pieces, a frightful noise was heardat
a few pacesbehind the pieces, and immediately a shower
of projectiles and flaming splinters falling upon the spec-
taton whonsshis exercise attracted to th • spot, struck ter-
ror into the midst of this peaceable crowd. This disorder
was caused by the explosion of a a aggon which was
loaded with all the ammunition that was intended to be
censored that day in thensbool. • In the midst of the
fragments and of the smoke, a soldier, whose dory tt
was to conduct the waggon. was the first object that
met the eye,. nnd he was seen struggling between hit
two horses, which had been overthrown with him. This
unfortunate man was taken up horribly wounded; is
could not be ascertained at the time whether his life wat
in-danger. The two artillery men, whose business is
was to distribute the cartridges, had disappeared, and
it ,was.not.austil .a few moments had elapsed th +t they
,were perceived at more than fifty paces from the, place
of theexplosioo, two smoking masses. These were all
thatAemained of them. .There was one, of which the
upper:part of the body, from the loins, had totally dis•

that the remainder of the body was found torn into

bruised andihalt burnt. Among the assistants several
Pere wounded, more or less seriously, by splinters
of wood and iron ; a
.peasant received in the throat
and in the right cheek two splinters, which 441 cted
upon him deep and dangerous wounds. As to the cause
of this disaster, it is to be supposed that at the moment
In which they opened the waggon a piece of lighted
wadding from one of the guns which had just beet
discharged was.carried to it by the wind, which blew
