TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The Letter of " An Officer in the Navy," as to the trial of Cap-
tain IL—, is so gross a libel upon that gentleman, that we are
surprised any Officer in his Majesty's Navy could expect its
insertion in any journal whatever.

If " blaNti" will favour us with his name and address, a satis-
factory explanation will be transmitted him on the subject to
which he alludes.

" B."we have no doubt, will meet with every satisfaction he can
require, by applying to the individual of whom he couiplains.
The Pon-office alone is to blame for the delay in the delivery
of the STATESMAN.

' -

lic mind is hourly on the increase. In my last,
I stated, that more than twenty frames had becu

broken at Lenton, on Thursday evening last,
within sight of our barracks; and I now have to
state, that two others were broken and actually car.

ried away at Bobbens-mill, about a mile from thi.

town. These things, however, were but the pre.

cursors of aggressions sttli more daring a:id extensile;

for, on Saturday night, the frame-breakers passed
over the Trent, and broke twenty frames at Clifton
(leaving but two whole in the town), and fourteen at
Ruddington. An express was inimediately dispatch-

ed to this town for a troop of the Hussars,

who proceeded to the s,:eue of action with al:

imaginable speed ; and as many of the Bunny

Troop of Yeomanry, as could be conveniently

informed of the passifig outrage, were assembled.—

The. hamlets in the vicinity were alt in alarm; all
the roads and bye-paths leading to the Trent were

occupied ; and all the passages over that river, for
four miles, were guarded, and the Luddites were
considered as good as taken ; but a boat, called
Aaron's Boat, which nobody else had thought of,

•
about four miles and a half up the Fiver, was seized
by them, and they passed over in safety, fired their

pieces, and marched in triumph away The same
night a frame as broken at Baia-ell, while under
the protection of a serjeant and sit"tlien belonginglo
the Berkshire militia : the partiesl exchalard shots

several times ; but the Luddites escaped with the loss
of a shoe and a hammer. On Sunday night forty-
five frames were broken at Selsan and the adjacent

hamlets ; and the same evening, about seven o'clock,
three frames were destroyed at 13asford, at the house
of one WiLt.tAst BARNS, under the following daring

circumstances t—As three soldiers, who had the care
of the frames that night, were sitting by the fire,
with their arms resting by them,, they were instanta-

neously seized by a body of men who rushed into ilia
house; and, while a proper guard, was placed over

. .
them, two men seized their muskets and stood sentry
at the door; and, when the frames were demolished,
thetnuskets were discharged, the soldiers were Hbc,
rated, and the depredators wished them a good night,

—On Mouthy evening three other frames were

broken at the same village; and one of them
was afterwards placed at the top of the Ruund-house;

or, as it there called, the Drunkard's Chapel, where
it was left as a spectacle, and seen by hundreds, and
the wood-work was burnt in an adjoining field.—.
The same night, twenty-six frames were broken at
Catgrave, a village six miles south of the Trent;
and the depredators escaped over the Stoke ferry.
,boat, without any controul. Can it be believed,
that these things are done in the face of three regi-
ments of soldiers, eight Bow-street Officers, who
are daily ciauming as many 'shapes as Ike god Pao-
'ruts ; and a Police as numerous as it is vigilant ?
Yet this is the fact ; and, notwithstanding the seizure
of many men, it is believed that not one real frame.
breaker has been taken. Hottever this may be, it is
understood that the Bow-street runners have not
been able to obtain any information from those in
custody, though, according to report, they have held
the halter in one hand, and abundance of tempting
gold in the other. Yesterday four prisoners were
brought in by military escorts, two of whom
were persons who have had frames broken in their
houses, on suspicion of conniving at the outrages ;
and another was a poor maniac of this town, of the
name of Joust WAPLINHTQN, and who, at the pre.
sent time, Is a pauper belonging to Sr. Mary's l'a-
rish. This unfortunate wretch was brought in by a
Bow-street Officer, and about half.a-score Hussars,
with as much fury and circumspection as if they bad
gotten Bosapatert in tow. It was truly laughable
to see one of these celebrated guardians of the great
metropolis, with a wandering maniac by his side in a
cart, and whose situation, is no doubt, amended by
being taken care of, whipping and cutting along the
streets, with ten Hussars to clear the way. It is sup,
postal that WAPLINGTON had been en one of his wan-
dering excursions, and was tak n up on suspicion of
being a runnaway frame-breaker.es • •

which the following account is given In the Dublin

This morning the trial of Mr. Kirwan corn.

ment we have been informed that the following most
unprecedented circumstance in the History of
TRIAL BY JURY--transpired
" IT APPEARED THAT SIR CHARLES SAX-
TON SELECTED A NUMBER. OF NAMI
FOR THE SHERIFF, TO BE I'LACED. ON
THE PANNEL, WHICH WERE TO TRY THE
DELEGATES.
" The circumstances that transpired, were the fol.
lowing :—The Crown Solicitor applied to Sheriff
jaucs for a Copy of the Pannel, which he refused.
But having left 1:, by accident, in his Office for
one hour, a Copy somehow found its way into the
hands of Sir CHARLES Saxton, who sent for, and had
-a conference with Mr. KEIIMIS on the arrangement
of the Jurors' names. The original list contained
116 names.—it.waa reduced to 101 ; several names

It is stated in the Patriot, of the same date, " that
the Court has decided alglnst the challenge made by
the Defendant."
The signatures to the Protestant Petition are ea.
pidly increasing throughout Ireland. The Cork Ater.
cattle Journal says, "We are extremely happy to
state, that nearly one hundred signatures of the most
respectable Merchants and other Inhabitants of
this City, have already been affixed to this liberal
Document; and we have learned that Mr. examtsw,

our Vberty, has determined to continue another
week in attendance at the club sad coffee.roems,
and also to wait on such Gentlemen as do not at.

From the Liinerick Evening Post, we also learn,
that the Protestant Petition has been forwarded to
Lord GLxxvwortrit, in that city, to receive sign*.

Many of the inhabitants of Hamilton have long
been known as celebrated ice-players, and the late
frosts have afforded them much amusement at that
auci,nt game. It is customary once a-vear for a
party of curlers from one quarter of the town to
play against another. This borupeil took place on
Thursday, the 16th instant, when 14 persons met on
the Loch belong to the town, and an excellent game
was played. Such was the interest displayed by bath
parties, that they played upwards of three hours to
the alleles in water. In the evening the party dined
together in the Hamilton Arms Inn, where the night
was spout with that jollity and mirth which always
characterise curlers.

Romroao, ESSEX.—Several attempts have been
made in this town and neighbourhood to break into
houses : the shop of a principal grocer, and the
Clergyman's house, Mere attempted ; and many ill-
looking fellows have been found lurking about in the
middle of the night, in Gentlemen's grounds.—
There was an attempt made on Friday night last, to
ro► the premises at Furze House, the residence of
111,r. Kelly, of the Barrack Office; a man was seen.
crawling under the front windows, but from the
noise of a dog, and some poultry, kept during the
frost in the green-house joining the house, the family
were alarmed, and a blunderbuss was fired from the
windows, on which the villain matte off. A few
nights ago, a man. stealing poultry, was shot through
the arm. The neighbourhood seems to be on the
alert in all quarters, and it is to be hoped the vil-
lains will be discovered. Almost every house is now
armed.

FEMALE RISOLUTION.--.-OD Monday se'nnight,
John Bunton was committed to the City Gaol, at
Norwich, by J. H. COLE, Esq. Mayor, charged
with burglarionsly entering the premises of Messrs.
Aggs and Co. in the parish of St. Clement, on
Friday se'nnight, in the night-time, and stealing
therefrom a quantity of twist cotton. The discovery
of this robber was effected under circumstances which
manifest singular resolution, where perhaps it might
least be expected, namely, in a female. The con-
ductor of the manufactory, Mr. Strike, has a daugh-
ter, who superintends that department which is per-
formed by women, and sleeps in a room adjoining the
factory. On the above evening he was awakened
by a noise, evidently proceeding from some one who
had broken into the premises, when hastily slipping
on a great coat that laid in her room, she ran to her
father's chamber, who not being dressed with suffi-
cient speed to meet her eagerness, she snatched up a
brie hammer, and went alone, in the dark, into the
esainfactory, where she perceived Bunton in the act
of taking the twist cotton from a loom. She in-
stantly struck him en the back of the head with the
hammer, and on his turning about, repeated the blow
upon his forehead, with such effect, as to bring him
to the ground covered with blood. Apprehending
that he might probably have accomplices, she shrieked
aloud, which brought her father to her assistance,
and they PPM red the robber.

BOXING.

The match betwixt Ballard and Smith; for a stake
of 20 guineas, and a subscription purse of ten gui-
neas, took place on Tuesday, at Coombe Wood, near
Kingston. Ballard has been reckoned a busy miller
,of the Westminster-school, who had fought six bat_
Iles before, and although a man of pugilistic note,
but of doubted game, since his combat with Bristol
h all on Old Oak Common. Smith, a heavier man,
who had also the advantage of length and science, as
well as having made some good stands against first-
raters of middle weight, was backed at odds, previous
to setting-to, from those superior qualifications,which
rendered winning next to a certainty, without an ac-
cident. On the ring becoming full, betting was
eleven to eight on Smith; but just previous to strip-
ping the odds suddenly turned to e\en betting, and
five and six to four on Ballard. The consternation
which prevailed here could not be described. Many
declared off their bets, and in the midst of the bustle
the combatants set to, with Culeb Baldwin second to
Ballard, and Paddington • OnCS for Smith, amidst
►murmurers and laranters.

The battle afforded much disappointment to a ring of several
thousand spectators, and it lasted but 1 S minutes. Ballard mode
rtdys,and had the best- of every round. As early as the fourth
,nitit was beat, without sustaining a-hit of any mow
, to the astonishment of the zpectators, although he ma-
to stand up 14 minutes. The ring was is coat/dos by
the janglings of betting men in every quarter, and Smith's loss
Wasattributed by the partisans of Ballard to illness. II was
data as a matter settled previous td the arrival of ala
at Coombe Wood, as there was no knocking dm
at the latter place.
A second battle, differing materially from the for-
mer, which had attracted iten thousand spectators,
was fought betwixt two other pugilists, the former of
whoa is one of the best eleven stone men in the coon-
try, and the latter a plant, from Bristol, a youth of
tremendous power and action, who was ushered into
the list by Gregson. The confusion which the dis-
appointments in the last fight had thrown the specta-
tors Into, by the disputes respecting the paymeuts of
debts, so convulsed the ring, that it was impossible to
keep the second in any order.
The stranger, whose name is Ford, appein to have cut a
lourishing figure in the nursery of Bristol. Aing was the fa-
vourite at setting-to, but thedetermined courage and knowledge
of punishing manifested by Ford, vanquished the former's best
science ; and although he fought with the courage of a t rib or a
Getty, with equal science, yet he was viable to stop his adver-
.Eary, who was always in, and remelted the blows. The battle
was coationed with thrumming during 40 =Motes. Ford

Chleiteo. Like thy Chicken, he possessed but little science,

King had, been knocked down several times by
Aits-oa the head, but the repetition of a knock down
blow oa the jaw gave victory to Ford. It was a
blow of that severity which is not witnessed often.
king wept down with it like an ox from the hammer
of a sturdy slaughterman, and although he refused
by motions to yesign the contest, yet nature had de-
serted him, and he was incapable of getting his legs.
It was altogether the best contested battle witnessed
- rewarded with
