THE GORDONIAN VILLA.

The difficulties attending the erecting the Gor.
doaian Villa at Chi:!tea, arc not yet entirely sur.
mounted ; the sapient sworn surveyors of the
Crown, who, " as honest mem," affixed the rent
to be paid fur the premises, have at last discovered
that a magnificent Villa, without water, would
be very incomplete; and as the rent to be paid
for the premises is so awry enormous, every
saving mint be recurred to. Unfortunately, the
reservoirs by which the llospitel is supplied, are
so very insufficient, that complaints are constantly
made un the subject ; indeed, when his Ala.

Villa anti its offices with water (run► the r,•s,•rvoir

THE GiIOST OF SIR ROBERT 1V ALPOLE.

On Thursday four ships, principally laden with
wool and wine, arrived in the Downs Irons Cadiz.
They do not bring any new information. We
understand that on board the ships of oar in the
Bay of Cadiz, the subordinate Officers are not al-
lowed to absent themselves from their duty, it
being apprehended that they would interest Ow.
selves in the cnntmotions which are so seriously
apprehended on the adjacent territory.

SUSSEX AGRICULTURAL REPORT, Occ. I.

Our Downish farmers are still very busy getting
in their wheats, for which important busineo, the
weather has been as propitious as it was during the
preceding months for the farmers in the Weald,
where the sowing has been for some time generally
finished, and where the young plants show them-
selves, for the most part, of a very promising com.
The turnip and rape cups urea still
abandant ; and the meadows, both upland and
hrookland, still afford such sound pasturage, as
to render the consumption of hay bat very tri.
ding ; the docks are daily brousing on lands (near
rivers) which arc usually flooded by the first week
io November; and the sheep are remarkably
healthy and well.contlitioned. In consequence of
thole favourable circumstances, kw cattle have
lately borne high prices, which the AVelchmen
amply experienced at St. Leonard's (Horsham)
fair, on Monday last, when nearly all they
brought were disposed of, apparently much to the
satisfaction of the sellers.

EXECUTION.

Captain J. Sutherland, convicted at the last
Admiralty Sessions of murdering Richard Wilson,
his cabin-boy, was executed yesterday morning at
Execution Dock, in pursuance of his sentence.
At eight o'clock a cart, with a scat fixed in the
centre, was drawn to the felons'-door of Newgeta,
and in about a quarter of an hour the unfortunate •

man was brought forth, with his. arms pinioned
to his sides, a prayer book in one hand, and a
bouquet in the other ; and having mounted into
the cart, the rope which bound his arms was tied
to the front rail. The executioner and his assist.
ant then seated themselves on each side of him,
and the cart advanced, preceded by the Admiralty-
Marshal, 16 Sheriffs' officers on horseback, and
about fifty constables with their staffs on foot.—
The City Marshals and their men also attended to
the limits of the City. The cavalcade proceeded
through Newgate.street, Cheapside, Cornhill,
Leadenhall.street, to the end of Whitechapel,
down the Commercial-road, Cannoh.street, and
in that direction to the place of execution. Dur.
jug the passage, the wretched man appeared to
pray with great devoutness, and was observed
wrising with a pencil in his prayer book. On his
near approach to Execution Dock, his hands were
tied, and on his arrival at the spot, he was lifted
out of the cart, and walk's! down the slip which
hal to a temporary gibbet, el'ected for the purpose
a few yards from low-water mark. Here he ex.
hilted great marks of firmness ; and on the ar.
rival of Dr. Ford, the Ordinary of Newgate, he
begged to be allowed a few minutes to pray.—
!This indulgence was granted; and having mount.
ed the platform, he remained nearly 15 minutes in
the most solemn and devout nearer, Of. Find

for the awful occasion. The wretched man thee,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

SLANDF.P.
LORD LEICISTER r.' WALTER AE) °TRIM.

This wu an action brOught by Lord Leicester,
against the Proprietors of tho newspaper called
the Ilerrdd, to recover compensation in
damages fur certain slanderous paragraphs upon
his character. The damages were laid at Tts enty
Thousand Pounds.

Scrjeaut Besr, on the part of the Plaintiff,
stated the nature of the Libels. He observed,
that on the 26th and 28th of March, in the year
1808, some paragraphs had appeared in the paper
in questiou, reilectin, upon the character of Lord
Leicester, under the name of Lord Chartley,
which is the third title io the family of the Mar-
quis Townsend. These related to the separation
between the Plaintiff and his wife, and the reason
insiussated was one not fit to he mentioned. Lord
Leicester's Solicitor applied at the Herald office,
and the result was, that on the 30th of the
same month, a paragraph was insetted, apologiz-
ing for the former publications, which were stated
to be unfounded—and e :rich also were said to have
been inserted in other papers, and copied into the
Herald, an assertion which, the Learned Ser.
jcant observed, was completely false, because
they had appeared first in the Morning Herald it.
self. On the 3d of December, 1808, however,
another paragraph had appeared in the same pa.
per, purporting that articles had been exhibited
in Doctors Commons against Lord C. by his wife,
chargiug him with the offence for which Lady
Audlcy had prosecuted to capital conviction her
husband, Lord Amlley, in the reign of Charles
the First. On the btli of the same month and
year, another paragraph was published, stating
that Lord C. had absconded, and that a warrant
had been issued for his apprehension. It also
stated, that the same charge which the Countess of
Castlehaven (Lady Audle)) had preferred against
Ler busbaud, was preferred by Lady C. against
Lord C.—remarking at the same time, that the
modern case was attended with more atrocious cir-
cumstances. The Learned Serjeant then proceed.
ed to observe, that there never was a libel of a
more infamous description. The plea upon the
Tccord was, the general issue of not guilty, and
therefore, he supposed, it was not intended to
justify; but lie repeated the offer which he had
mak before tow ithdraw the action, provided they
vould give up the author.
The publication of the paper was proved in the
.nsual manner, by Mr. Harrison, who produced
the affidavit of proprietorship, filed at rte Stamp-
o6ice, and by Mr. Booth, Register of the Papers,
at the same office, who produced the papers con.
bitting the libels. '
Mr. Barlow, Seet;nslary of the Crown-office,
produced a copy of the conviction of Lord Aud-
Icy, who, atuisapt ether offences, had been pro.
eecuted fur aiding and abetting his own servant in
ceousittiag a rape upon his wi% Lady Audlcy.

TIM ICING V. WIC. MORRIS.

This is an indictment charging the Defendant
with wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. GARROW
moved to postpone the trial on account of the
absence of a material witness, Mr. Fournier, a
Magistrate of Union Hall, Southwark, her
father, who was stated, by affidavit, to be so ill,
that it would endanger his life to bring bim into
Court.

On the other side there wax an affidavit, stating,
that this indictment related to a case which had
lately been in part tried before his Lordship, and
afterwards referred to Mr. Lowten, who made his
award. That award came before the Court, on
which it was ordered, that Mr. Lowten should re-
view that award ; ho did so, and confirmed the
award in every particular ; and on neither of these
three occasions was Mr. Fournier examined as a
witness. Due it appeared that he was present at
one of the conversations between the parties to
which the Prosecutors referred.
Lord ELLSNIBOROUGII decided that the trial
should be postponed ; and it was accordingly pat
ad until next term.,

TO THE EDITOR or THE ESSEX UNION.

" Sia,--In conformity with the promise which
I have given to your correspondent A Free-
holder and an Inhabitant, I beg leave to address
you, and answer the charges he has bfought
against me and others who think we aro doing
1•our duty ; and likewise to defend myself against
1 the accusation with which he has favoured me in.
dividually and personally. The resnit of the
meeting to he holden next Saturday will throw a
considerable light on our principles and opinions,
and if me are not prevented by noise and [(insult,
as substitutes fur argument and good sense, se
shall, I believe, make it appear that we are the
hest friends to our country, and that we arc
sincerely attached to our King and the Constitu.
tion ; but if wo can prove that abuses and mal-
practices have gradually crept into the House of
our Representatives; and that the time is arrives!
when the Speaker of their House expresses his
indignation at their being avowed and justified,
we submit it to a candid public, whether those
who have a constitutional right to watch over
the conduct of their Represeatatines can be
blamed for wishing for an opportunity to deliver
their sentiments on so interesting, but melancholy
occasion ; we therefore feel twat anxious that
our countrymen will attend at the County Meet.
ing nest Saturday ; and form an opinion of our
conduct and intention.

s• As to myself, I do not blush when I tell you
that I have had three places, and a regiment, and
that I now have one place, and three troops of
yeomanry cavalry. I resigned a very lucrative si-
tuation at the Victualling-Office, above twenty
years ago. What my conduct was there, and what
my reasons for quitting it were, I bare sufficient
proofs and documents to thew. I may venture to
appeal to a Noble Lord, of which this county is
with reason proud as an inhabitant, nut only as
the castigator of our foreign foes, but as the de-
termined enemy of peculation, and corruption,
whether be did not discover when he presided over
the Addiralty departnient, that those abuses and
malpractices existed in the Victualling-office, of
which I bad in vain complained, .and which being
unredressod, though pointed put and offered to be
proved, were the cause of my voluntarily quitting
an office where I could not remain with advantage
to my country, or with credit to myself.
" The discoveries which I made in that depart.
ment strongly impressed my mind with the exist.
once oran improvident and aaaosomary espaniii.

STILES r. BUM.

The ATTORNLY.GENERAL stated, that the
Plaintiff was headborough of the parish of St.

lic.house, called the Brown Bear, in Etat.Stnith-
held, to quiet or else to take into custody the de.
fotdant, a foreigner, who had been noisy and
troublesome for some lime there, upon which he
was assaulted by the Defendant ; which CAAe was
clearly proved by a cloud of witnesses.
The defence was, that the Plaintiff had as.
saulted the Defendant.

Mr. Gannow complained That too tnany wit-
nesses had b.en brought on behilf of the Plaintiff
to prove his case, which added to the expeuce in '
the way of costs. Ile called many witnesses for
the Defendant, but some of them stated circum.
stances which were highly improbable, and there-
fore the Jury, after a charge from his Lordship,
(who said he was as ready as ally body to censure
@Accra of Police when they exceeded their autho-
rity, yet they must be protected in the due execu.
thin of their duty), found a verdict for the Plain.
tiff—Damages 501.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.

Nothing can satisfy the various agents of Ibis
Theatre. When the house was filled nightly, they
complained of noise and tumult --anti now that
the ceperiment has been made of leaving the Pit
to the undisturbed possession of the Blearnsiths,
they exclaim, 44 What, nn money ? if this be
44 peace and quietness, let's have no more of
it—Noise and tumult are preferable to empty
ss stoney boxes."
The Performers last eight had an opportunity'
,
of performing to almost empty benches. The
Bones had the usual display of Or.lertys, of vulgar
females, and ill dressed men. The Way to ga
Married and Dan Jaws, went off with eclat, with
the occasional iisterrupti of the fee who had
parted with their money fur silmissiosi—many of
whom, not entirely swaying of their Company,
quitted the Weise lief ,re the performances con.
eluded. The only marks of disconteut displayed
last night were those of 4' hissing."
As se are miablieto discover any reason to be.
lime that the temper of the to.sa is changed,
we conclude that this stillness is the calm
that precedes the tempest—fur .it is impossible
to suppose that the Public, after having ea.
pressed, during forty -nine nights, their disap.
probation in so strong a seamier, should sad.
Idaily have changed their opinions, without any
nbitious case for such an alteration. When the
Managers throw open the privileged inchsures, the
discontent of the Public will, perhaps, be allayed,
hut never, as we apprehend, till tOrit concession to
the universal real public opinion is made.---Do the

To TIE EDITOR or THE STATESMAN.

Ste—Your inserting the following statement of
facts in your impartial paper, will be esteemed a
favour, as an erroneous account appeared in The
Morning Post of this day.
On Friday night I was returning borne with a
friend, and stopping at the corner of Charles-
street, Soho, to wish him good night, two or
three persons called out 0. P.", we immediately
answered, "good night 0. P.'s"—at that moment
a tall man crossed us from Charles.street, towards
Itathbone.plaee, and said the " 0. P.'s mere all
vagrants," on. which one of those who had passed
immediately -before him, called out " there goes
long Gibbons, of Mary.le-bone Park." I step.
pcd a few paces forward in order to have a view of
his person, on which he held up his umbrella in a
threatening posture, and told me to go away, or
he would knock me down ; I laughed, and walked
quietly away towards my home, bad got nearly to
the end of Crown.street, Suho, when two watch. I
men belonging to Mary-le-bone Parish and this
tall man, selr:d me, and took ae from thence,
which was in St. Ann's Parish, to Mary.lc.bone
Watch.house, when this penal proved to be the'
well.known James Gibbons, of Mary.le.bune
Park, and charged me with an assault and strik
ins him, on which I was immediately dragged
down stairs into the black bullet although I re.
quested Howard, the constable of the night, to
permit some person to go to some friends of mine,
of the greatest respectability, who resided within
a few yards of the %Vetch-house ; I was kept in
this place fur about three hours, during which
time two persons who VIW me taken, applied to
see me, in order that they might go to my friends ;
this was refused, and they were told 1 was below
and should be kept there, as they beliered me to
be one of the 0. P. gentlemen, or Cu: ent Garden
rioters—at four o'clock I was permitted to come
op stairs, and at eleven o'clock on SaErJay, I

assertion that the." O.lice wu filled with a legion

there were several respectable friends of mine
ready to give bail to any amount that might be re.
quired; many of whom hare not bun yet to the

the truth of this statement will be verified on oath,
and supported by evidence on the trial.

CAPTAIN SILELDON.

Mr. TOPPINGMid 14.1;i1111i1111CiCti to move
the Court for an attachment against Captain
Sheldon, for not returning a writ of Habeas
Corpus, which had been directed to him, cum.
manding hint to bring up the body of a young
woman under his controul, that she might- be
delivered to her father, she being s minor, who
had eloped from him with the Captain. The
writ was issued on the 13th instant, and had been
served on Captain Sheldon, at Manchester. The
unhappy father of this unfortunate feinala, he,
Mr. Topping, had seen this morning; from him
ho lear►►ed that the Captain, and this young we.
man, hid arrived by the coach this Inornieg ; and
thii application for an attachment was for Isis nut
producing her in Court this jay.
Lord 11:t.samauttooun observed, that having
arrived only this day, it could hardly be made
the foundation of as attachment against him for
not appearing in Court with the writ to-day ; and
the arrival of lb* parties rather indicated an in
tendon to obey the writ than othe►wise. If there
should be any thing like a disposition shown to
evade the writ, the Court would grant the attach.
went iinmediately.
Mr. Toertito said, he made this motion merely
to comply with the anxiety of the parent in this
Me.

Jbseph lirbhert, and his brothers John Hibbert,
carrying on trade in wine, spirits, and bear, in
flylord's-court, Craft-hurl-friars, had to complain
of the misconduct of his brother John, wig bad,
.nn ,everal occasioss, used very vulgar epithets to.
wards him ; threatening to knock him downirte.
one instance to stab smother, givilag a
hiardgeon to one of the eleriti, sad desiring such
clerk to knock down the exhibihint. Some other
instances were stated of the turbulent disposition
of Mr. Jahn Ilihbert. The quarrel appeared to
have arisen from some counting-house concerns
of the partnership.
The Couttr allowed the articles to be filed, and
ordered Mr. John Harbert to God sureties to pre.
serve the-peaoe towards his brother.
