JURY COURT' ElinaußGß.

In our paper of the 15t4 mber last, a cue, which
excited a considerable degree of interest was, say* the
Edinburgh Star, reported. It was an :salon of da-
mages at the instance of John Campbell, Esq. of Blair-
hall, late mentlwr of Parliament for the Stirling t
of burghs, against Thomas Murray Allan, Esq. of
SeotstoWn Park, for slandering and defaming his.tha-
racier by calling him a liar—an infamous impostor—
and a blackguard. Damages laid at 10,000/.
The Jury found the issues proved, and awarded one
shilling of damares.
Mr. Campbell afterwards moved the Court to award
the costs of suit to him. This motion was followed by
a counter one, on the part of Mr. Allan also claiming
costa.

Both motion% were ably argued on Tuesday and yet-
terday. and the Court decided, that each party
ought to brar ►is own costs, and dismissed the mutio.it
on Wilt sides.

ECONOME IN TUE ORDNANCE. DREARTMENT.--in:the
reports of the debateson Friday last, Mr. Hume, in
order to prove the present extravagant rate of pa and
allowances to the offivers in the ordnance generally, is
reported to have stated one example of tbe Store-keeper
at Dover, who now receives to the amount of MMI. a
rear, pay and allowances, although that other, prior to
the late war, had only a salary of 1201. a ear. Mr.
Ward, the iclerk of the Ordnance, contradicted. Mr.
Mole, and declared that the allowances to the store-
keeper at Dover were not 6001. a year and that no store.
keeper bad retired on a pension. Byilae exchasion of
strangers from the gallery, we were amble to state Mr.
liume's reply:to Sir.f.Warti's assertion, which was by the
production of the Ordnance estimates, dated the 19th
flay, ISt% and signed by Mr. Ward himself, under
whose signature it appeared that the allowance of Ro-
bert Ilasstiapien, storekeeper at Parer, were reported
to the Howse at 5001. a year, end that he had aetsally
attires{ on a pension of 3331. as stated by Mr. Hume. Su
Marti for Mr. Ward's correctness. It le too much the
ceslice, in the House of l'osomons, for official men. by
assertipose. to contrediet statements in the manner
letealliela Mr. Ward ',tad towards Mr. House,- lad it is
at important* on all emeasions to niche a piosopkexpo•
NMI ar seek tramming emereimm. It appears extraor-
that lir. Ward who had himself signed the re-
dsi aid before the House of Commons, respecting the
&Enter of Meer, should' venture to coiltradldt, ill
thr manner in which be did, such public documents.
Prom every information we have obtaibed, we believe
that the estahßshments in the whole Ordnance doper'.
went continue at an excessive and rxtraragant rate, tad
that it would be productive of great economy whave
the whole df that Jepar.tineht carefully examined.
By the description we 'gave of the man who was
drowned in the Avon at the New Bridge id Warwick,
*a the preceding Sunday night, his unfortunate end has
been communicated to his friends, and there cannot be
soy doubt of his identity. It appears, by a letter Lately
received by the Overiters of St. 'Nicholas, that the name
of the deceased was James Seourlield ; he was a saddler
by trade, but had lately been employed .in tile India
lionise. Having served hiw time at St. Albans s, he
left London to rote at the late election at that place.
When be got there, however, -he did not ppll, and as
soon as the election woes over he suddenly leriSt.Albareg,
without any of his relations knewing whit had became
him, till they heard of his death iu the'Newspapets.
The deceased was an unmarried man, end had- lately
been in a low desponding state of mind. •
ROYAL SIMI aTv.—A t the sitting of the itorti.•co•
ciety, on Thursday evening, Captain Hotter read Al
interesting paper on the subject of a volcano which
lie his discovered in the noon.—On examining the
dark part of the moon through a telescope, lie per-
ceived a bright spot resembling a star; 'and Raise-
;pent observations convinced him it was a volcano.
As that part of the moon- in which it is situated has
now become illuminated, the volcano is no longer vi-
sible, and before the period fur observing it returns,
it will probably have ceased to be in a state of eruption.
Coos-Exciiascr.—The arrivals of all grain last week
were very large, and a considerable q uantity of Wheat,
Barley, and Oat, remained over from this morning's
market, when we had a great additional supply of
Wheat from Essex, bent, and Suffolk, which met' ee.

consumers to take it off.---Oats are Is. per quarter lower,
