THE BISHOP AND THE SOLDIER.

---
The Morning Chronirle lies puhlished (see another
part of our paper) a very lame defence of itself in an.
swer to oer remarks of yesterday. It seems to say.
that p a Medium aed even legal pealehmeat are im-
proper in these cases : and finds fault of the proceed-
ings, in similar cases, of 1810. We believe. that the
public were well pleased with the rigour of those pro
ceedings, and particularly with that part of them that
msde the grantee the executors of the law, a task which
they performed with nncommoe alacrity and energy.

Despatches. it is stated by a Ministerial paper, were
yesterday recaived at the office of the Marquess of
Londonderry from Mr. Hervey, oar Minister at the
Court of Madrid, which were brought by Mr. Ward,
Who is attached to the Embassy in Spain.—
Mr. Ward was only seven days performing the
journey. and immediately on his arrival had a
long audience of Lord Londonderry on the state of af-
fairs in the Peninsula. The intelligence is said to be
to the 15th instant, at which time the Spanish Capital
*as tranquil, though every thing still remained in
suspense. General Morillo it is represented had gain-
ed the entire confidence of the King, in consequence
la his having refused to accede to the solicitations of
the Spanish guards, to place himself at their head,
sad oppose himself to the existing Government.
The Kiag of Prussia has issued a decree for the en-
eeturegeosea: of the shipping interest of his kingdom.
which is in a very depressed state. In order to do
t►is the more effectually, the coasting trade from one
Prussian port to another is only to be allowed to
Prussian ships in future; and an increased harbour
duty is to be levied on foreign vessels both coming
sad going.
The most recent accounts from the mining district
of Dlonmouthebire and South Wales are not so satis-
factory as we could wish, notwithstanding. from the
reduced quantity of iron made, that article has saps-
riesced a rise in price. We understand at several
colleries the workmen have given notice of leaving
their work unless their wages are raised, which it is
confidently said their masters cannot du, as the sale'
price of coal is sow eighteen pence or two dalliers
lower that it was nine months ago. Others of the
workmen are said to bare left their employ before
their notice expired t and indeed, we lea, n, that one of
them, by name Thomas Thomas, was, on Wednesday
last, committed to Usk bridewell, by J. H. Illoggridge,
Esq. for that offeace.—(Bristol Mercury.)
Tue Kisn's COURT.—Yesterday at three o'clock.

duty during the stay of the Royal Visirors, and at
day-break a royal salute was fire.l. There being too
much sea yesterday their Royal Highnesses did not
embark, but the Prince visited and bathed in the
Royal Clarence baths. In the evening the Stall de•
tacbment was paraded in front of the Inn window,
where their Highnesses were, and the band played
many delightful airs. Tile standard wee displayed
from the Castle ; and at the heights, public buildings,
and the shipping in the harbour, colours were waving
in abnndance. This morning, at eight o'clock, their
Royal Highnesses and suite embarked on board one of
the great boats, which conveyed them to the Royal
Sovereign yacht, lying in the Roads, amidst the cheers
and hearty good wi.bes of a large crowd arsetub;ed to

OUICINE.

This was a mrsqt interesting and important case. ii.. g
o besides of a mature peec ty novel in the re,-..re, ~f
Scotland.—lt was alleged that the defender had p.:,.
chased of one William Smyth certain information smirk
Ns had acquired during his confi !ential servire in :6,
employ of the pursuer's Agee; that this information
afterwards formed a principal ground uf-an action which
he defender had raised against the pursuer, and trlild
wis cart-led on as an Appeal before the llowte of Lords;
that the present pursuer, although the appeal had heal
decided in his favour, and although be had been allow.
ell professional costs in that action, had, notwithstin,:.
inf. incurred vast additional evisensek amounting t,
46001. The present action was to recover damage, :.,
that loss, and also a snlatitini for the injury to which Li
feelings and his reputation had for a lung time be,. es
posed, from the unmerited stigma *bids [bill i1:1:•Lon
had cast upon his family. flue damages were hid c
IO,OMII.

The LORD Cuter COMMISSIONIR (after hearinz et'..
deuce) charged the Jury, that if any wrong had Ikea
done to the pursuer, through the means by which the
defender bad obtained the information in question. the
defender was liable for the consequenves, even to the
fell mown of expenses computed as between conc.
pent and agent ; and also that if the Pursuer had. 13
consequence, metered any injury in mind or riaatahas.
be was over and above entitled to a counneoeurete

Mr. COCKBURN thought that this was the proper time
to take exceptions to that part of his Lordship's charge
which affected the g I question of relevancy, in cue
his client should afterwards be advised to appeal.
The Jury retired for shoot twenty initiates, and re
tnroed with a verdict for the Pursuer—Damages 3410 N.
