Despatches were this morning received at ( lie Admiralty, annonncing a brilliant victory oh. lained on ( lie 20tlt Oct. iu the port of Nava- rino, by the English, French, and Russian squadron, over the combined Turkish and Egyptian fleels. The battle was fought at anchor, and was necessarily bloody and destructive. The nu- merical superiority of the force was immense, hut the result has been, we are proud to say' the destruction of the whole Turkish force. *' The following is a synopsis of the forces: Line. Frigates. Corvettes, Sloops, Stc.

The following is a statement of llie fale of Ihe enemy's fleet: One Turkish liiie- of- batlle- ship burned; two driven 011 shore, wrecks— one double frigate sunk ; one mt shore, a wreck ; two burned fifteen frigates burnt and sunk ; three < 111 shore, wrecks; one 011 shore, mast* standing— fifteen corvettes burned and sunk ; four 011 shore wrecked- - nine brigs burned and sunk ; one 011 shore, masts standing— sx fife- ships destroyed, and three transports. Of the sixty- six vessels of war, only eight are left afloat; the most perfect victory ever achieved.

" " " LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY OP SATURDAY, NOV. 10. Admiralty• Office, November 10. Dispatches, of which lite following are co- pies or extracts, have been this day received at this office, addressed lo John Wilson Crn- ker, Esq. by Vice- Admiral Sir Edward Cod- rington, K. C. B. Commander- in- Chief ofhis Majesty's ships in Ihe Mediterranean :— His Majesty's ship Asia, in the port of SIR, Navarin, Oct. 21. 1 have the honour of informing bis Royal High- ness the Lord High Admiral, ( bat my colleagues, Count Heyden and the Chevalier de Rigoy, having agreed with me thai we should come into this port, ia order to induce Ibrahim Pacha lo disconlioue the brutal war of extermiontion, which be has been carryiog on since bis reluro here from his failure ia Ihe Gulpb of Palras, the combiaed squadrons passed Ibe batteries, ia order to take up Ibeir anchorage, at about two o'clock yesterday afternooo. The Turkish ships were moored in Ibe form of a cre « cent, with springs on their cables, Ihe larger ones preseating their broadsides towards the centre, Ibe smaller one ia succession within them, filling up Ihe intervals. The combined fleet was formed ia the order of tailing in two columns, the British and French forming Ihe wealber or starboard line, nod Ihe Rus- iau the lee line. The Asia led in, followed by Ihe Genon and Albion, and nncbored close alongside a ship of Ihe line, bearing Ihe Hug of the Capitana Bey, another ship of Ibe line, and n large double banked frignte, each thus having their proper op- ponent in the front line of the Turkish fleet. The four ships to windward, part of the Egyptian squadron, were allotted to Ihe squadron of Renr- Admiral de Rigoy ; and ( hose lo leeward in the bight of Ibe crescent, were lo mark Ihe stations of the whole Russinu squadron; Ihe ships of their line closing those of Ihe English line, and being followed up by llieir own frigates. The Freoch frigate Armide was directed to place herself alongside Ihe outermost frigate, on Ihe left hnnd entering Ihe harbour; and Ihe Cambrian, Glas- gow, and Talbot, next to her, aod abreast of Ihe Asia, Genon, and Albion ; Ibe Dartmouth and Ibe Musqnilo, Ibe Kuse, the Brisk, and Ihe Philomel, were lo look after six fire vessels at the entrance of the harbour. I gave orders that uo gnu sbould he fired, gnless gnus were first fired by Ihe Turks aod those order9 were slriclly observed. Tbe three English ships were accordiogly permitted to pass tbe batteries and lo moor, as tbey did with great rapidity, without any acl of opeo hostility, " although there was evident preparation for il in Ibe '. urkisb ships, tint upon the Dartmouth genii- ing a boat to ooe of Ihe fire- vessels, Lieut. G. W. H Fitzroy and several of ber crew were shot with musketry. Tbis produced a defensive fire of mus- ketry from Ihe Dartmouth, and La Syreoe, beariog Ihe Hog of Rear- Admiral de Rigny: that was succeeded by a cannon shot at Ihe Rear- Admiral from one of Ibe Egyptian ships, which of coarse brought on a return, and thus very shortly afler wards Ibe battle became general. Tbe Asia, al though placed alongside Ihe ship of tbe Capitana Bey, was even nearer lo that of Moliarem Bey, tbe commnnder of tbe Egyptian ships; and since bis ship did not fire ot Ihe Asia, although the actiou WHS begun to windward, oeither did Ibe Asia fire at her. Tbe latler, indeed, sent a message " that he would not fire at all," and therefore 00 hostility took place betwixt onr two ships, for some lime after the Asia had returned llie lire of Ihe Capitana Bey. In Ihe mean time, however, our excellent pilot, Mr. Peter Mitchell, who went lo interpret lo Mobarem my desire to avoid bloodshed, was killed by bis people in onr boat alongside. Whe- ther witlf- or without liis orders I know not; but his sbip sooo afterwards fired into the Asia, and was consequently effectually destroyed by Ihe Asia's fire, sharing the same fale ns bis brother Admiral on tbe starboard tide, and falling to leewurd a mere wreck. These ship* bring ool of Ihe way, Ihe Asia bernme txpn » ed lo n rnkiog fire from vessels in ( tie second and third line, which carried away her mizeDwast by Ibe board, dis ableil some of ber gun « , and kilted iind wounded several of her crew. Tbis narration of Hie pro. codings of ihe Asia, would probably he equally applicable lo inost of Hie other ships of Ihe fleet. The milliner in which Ihe Genoa and Albion look their stations was beautiful: and Ibe conduct of my brother Admirals, Count Hejden and Ibe Chevalier de ftigny, throughput, was admirable and highly exemplary. Captain Petlowes executed Ihe part allotted to him perfectly, and with Ihe able assistance of his little bat brave detachment saved Ibe Syrene from beiug burnt by Ihe fire- vessels. And Ihe Cam brinn, Glasgow, and Talbot, following Ibe fine example of Captnio Hngon, of the Armide, who wn » opposed lo the lending frigate of tbiit line, effectually destroyed tlieir opponents aud aho silenred tbe batteries Tbisbloody and destructive battle was continued wilb un'ro^ ted fary for ./ onr bones, ai: d tbe scene of wreck and devastation which presented itself at its termination was such as ha* been seldom before witnessed. As each ship of our opponents became effectually disabled, such of ber crew as coold escape from ber endeavoured lo set her on fire, and il is wonderful bow we avoided the effects of their successive and awful explosions. It is impossible for me to say too mucb for tbe able and zealous assistance wbicb I derived from Captain Cnrzon, throughout Ibis loug and arduous contest; nor can I say more llinn it deserves for the conduct of Commander Bayoes and Ibe officers aod crew of Ihe Asia, for the perfection with which Ihe fire of Ibeir gnns was directed, each vessel in lorn, to which her brondside was pre- sented, hwnme a complete wreck. His Royal Highness will be aware thai so complete a victory by a few, however perfect, against an excessive number, however individually inferior, cannot be acquired but at a considerable sacrifice of life; accflVdingly I hare to lament the loss of Captain Biilhurst, of Ihe Genoa, who « e example on this occn. ion is well worthy Ihe imitation of his sur- vivors. Captain Bell, commanding ( be royal marines of tbe Asia, an excellent officer, wns killed early in the action, in Ibe steady per- formance of bis duly; and I .- have lo oionui Ihe death of Mr. William Smith, the master, admired for the zeal nnd nbilitv wi/ b which he executed liis duly, nud beloved by nil for his private qua- lities as a num. Mr, Henry S. Dyer, my secre- tary, having received a severe contusion frcm a splinter, I am deprived temporarily of bis va- luable assistance in collecting and keeping up 1 fie general returns and communications" f ( be squad rons; I shall therefore retain in my office Mr. E. J. T. While, bis firs! clerk, whom I have nomi- nated to succeed the Purser of the Brisk. I feel mncli personal obligation to Ibe Hon Lieut.- Col. Crnddock, for his rendiues « during tbe heat of lh « bntile, iu carrying my ordeis and messages lo Ihe different quarters afler my Aiiles- de- Cnmii were di- 1tilled ; lint I w ill beg permission to refer his Royal Highness for farther particulars of this ' on lo the deinils of Ihe killed aud wounded, 11 subject wbicli it painful for me to dwell upon, when 1 contemplate, as I do wilb extreme sorrow, ibe extent of our loss. I console myself witb ilie re flection that Ihe measure which produced Ihe battle was absolutely necessary for obtaining the results cim^ au HlrrtWy <> J" uuf up;.'.'' * » • " l"" 1! found that tbe boasted Ottoman word • f honour was made a sacrifice lo wanlou, savage devastation, and that a base advantage was taken of oor reliance upon Ibrahim's good failh, I own I felt a desire lo punish tbe offenders. But it wns my dnty to refrnin, and refrain I did ; and I can assure bis Royal Highness, that I would still have avoided ( his disastrous extremity, if other means had been open to me. Tbe Asia, Genoa, and Albinn, have eacb suffered so mucb, thai it is my intention to send Ibem lo England so soon as they shall have received at Malta Ihe necessary repairs for their voyage. The Talbot, beiog closely en- gaged with a doable banked frigate, bus also suffered considerably, ns well as ntbers of tbe smaller vessels; but I hope their defects are not more than can be made gnod at Malta. Tbe loss of men in tbe Turko- Egyptian ships must bave been immense, as his Royal Highness will see by Ihe accompanying list, obtained from Ihe Secretary of Ihe Capitana Bey, which includes thai of Iwo out of the three ships lo which tbe English division was opposed, Caplaio Curzon having preferred contioning to assist me in tbe Asia, I bave given the charge of my despatches lo Commander Lord Viscount Iugestrje, who, besides having had n brilliant share in tbe action, i* well competent to give bis Royal Highness Ibe Lord High Admiral any further par( icnlars he may require. I inclose, for bis Royal Higbness's further infor. mation, a letter from Captain Hamilton, descrip- tive of tbe proceedings of Ibrahim Pacini, nod the misery of lite country wbicb he has devastated ; a protocol of the conference which I had with my colleagues, nnd the plan and order for entering tbe poll, which I gave on! in consequence.

The Russian fleet passed Znnte on ( lie lltli, aud was to join tbe English and French squadrons before Navarin by Ihe 15th, wlieu the provisional armistice was In expire. Official intelligence reached ( own ( his ilajv llial the squadron under Admiral Codling ton, together with ( be French ships of war under Admiral De Rigny, attacked and destroyed ( he Turkish fleet, which consisted of about 70 ships of various descriptions. Au Extraor- dinary Gazelle was published at a late hour, giving tbe full account of this splendid achieve- ment. H includes 11 list of ( he officers and men. bolh English and French, who were killed and wounded in this dremlfiil conflict. We cannot but lament file loss of so many va- luable lives, but our own opinion always has been, fhjjt untiling could be sellletl with' Tur- key but by downright force— such is the in- flexible anil higolted nature of that Power. Great agitation prevails al this moment ru France, occasioned by the dissolution ,, f the Chamber of Deputies. The Royal Ordinance dissolving this body was issued on Monday last, anil the Electoral Colleges are to lie convoked throughout all France, from the 15lhtirt! ie 30tb of llie present month. It is not difficult to explain litis hold determination of M. De Villele. During the last two years the French Government has been so unpopular, that the Ministers have failed in every iinisecnii.. . censorship of the Journals, ami to withiirav Ihe consideration of libels altogether from Ju- ries. The precipitancy with which tbe Court of the Tuilleries urges on the elections Is an indication that every thing is to be carried by influence and management. Little more than ten days are allowed for the elections through out Ibe whole, of that targe empire. The list of Presidents of the Electoral Colleges is chiefly made out from persons professing ultra opinions. But notwithstanding this open attempt lo corrupt the freedom of choice, it is said that M. De Villele will not be able to pre- vent 140 opposition members from entering the Chamber of Deputies. While such are the proceedings for the reno- vation of the Lower Chamber, an equal atten- tion has been paid to the Chamber of Peers, with a view to make it the supple instrument of the Monarchy. Seventy- six new Peers ate already named. Tlieir patents alone, will give the Minister a majority in Ibe Higher Cham- ber; lie will thus have nothing to fear fioirf that body which has so ofien and so boldly withstood his continual practices against the liberal construction of tbe Charter. It is indeed, evident, as some of the liberal prints do not now hesitate to declare ( for at this short interval, namely, between the 15fb and 30lb of Ihe present month, Ibe Censorship is suspended) that the object of Ihe Miuistei is to re- construct, for seven years more, u ma- jority which sball destroy the few free and popular Institutions which are left in France, and lo substitute in ibeir place the absolute dominion of tbe Jesuitical faction. Hitherto, ( he Ministers h » ve failed in all their principal Legislative projects for the last three years, and the resistance has mostly proceeded froi. i the Chamber of Peers. They bave preveiil- d the conversion of the Rentes,— the law of pr; mogeniliitesbip,— the full rigour of the law t . sacrilege, and those establishments, el the ( iimal expense, for tbe education of French youths, which would have thrown all France again into the power of the Ecclesiastics. Rv ( lie infusion of new and arbitrary blood info Ihe Higher Chamber, M. de Villele doubtless expects ( o model it in perfect conformity with his views. Steps, indeed, seem lo be taken to make the Chamber of Peers precisely such a. t institution as it became during the reigns of Louis XIV. and XV.— a mere Court to tUitat the Minister of Ibe day, and to register tlu decrees of ( he King. There is no intelligence from any other part of Europe of Ihe . smallest interest. But whilst France, under the guidance of ber Minister, is rushing fast into servitude, the dawn of a belter day appears rising iu the Netherlands. The reply of the Slates General to the h og's Speech on the opening of the Legislative Scs- si.> 11, breathes a lone of public spirit and feel- ing worthy of the best times of the Belgium Republic. We bave received," say they, with pleasure your Majesty's assurance, that , the several branches of the public Revenue have, on tbe whole, equalled the estimates; and that the. nation will not be called upon for fresh sacrifices. These circumstances induce us to hope for a reduction tit the expenditure." 1 This is language becoming tlw representatives of a free people ; and we doubt very ranch, whether, on the next meeting of the British Parliament in February, the answer < 0 the Royal Speech will be in terms so frank, so constitutional and decisive.—'- Again,' ay ti e States General, we rejoice at every thing that may restrain the fatal influence of the lottery on public morality ; and shall always be ready to concur in equitable measures fur the relief of the provinces, which are evidently too highly rated to tbe laud- tnx." • H THE LANCASTER ' GAZETTE.

OXDOX, U'RIINKSDAY, Nov. 14. The private letters frnin Paris state, that the Minister of Marine had issued orders for the feting out of several ships of the line with all possible dispatch, to reinforce their squadron in the Mediterranean. This, with the prepara- tions making in our own ports, would lead to the inference that the temple of Janus will not be speedily closed. It is said that the French government has de- termined on attacking Algiers by land ; and that troops will he embarked forthwith for this purpose. Private letters received yesterday from Paris state that the latest news received there from Constantinople, is of the date of the 21st of October, when it was reported that the Divan had advised the Sultan to come to an arrange- ment ; but which advice his Highness rejected in a most positive manner. It was understood on Saturday that two line- of- battle ships ( the Ocean and another) were to proceed from Portsmouth to reinforce Sir Ed- ward Codrington. It appears, however, that such is not to be the case : Ministers probably consider, that after the decisive conduct of the gallant officer, he does not stand in need of assistance, more especially as he must ere this have been joined by Sir Thos. Staines, in the Isis. ' . • • nuu. It is by no means improbable that this signal, which was demanded by the Allies after the battle, under pain of destruction to the forts and remaining vessels, was actually made; but itiof GWirse signifies nothing more than a locnl suspension of hostilities.— Globe. IVo, bear that accounts have been received from Vienna, which state that the Austrian Government had received intelligence that the Sultan had signified his intention to yield to the demands of the Allies. The expression of his intention took place before any intelligence had been received of the destruction of the fleet at Navarino, but after the intelligence of the force applied by Sir E. Codrington' to drive the Turks back to the port. As this intention was expressed after the announcement of one hostile act, it is to be hoped that the subsequent affair would not produce anv unfavourable change.— Ibid The value of a gift is greatly enhanced by the mode in which it is conferred"; and this re- mark is in no case more applicable than with respect to the bestowal of honours by a Sove- reign, in reward for distinguished services. Our renders will therefore learn with satisfac- tion, and our officers and men will duly ap- preciate the additional value of the distinction conferred upon them, that his Majesty has been most graciously pleased to express his high approbation of' the conduct of Vice- Ad- miral Sir Edward Codrington, and of the officers, seamen, and marines, who served under his orders at the battle of Navarino, and as a mark of his high approval, to confer upon the Vice- Admiral a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, nominating ; it the same time all the captains and commanders who shared in the honour of the day, to be Knights Com- manders of that most honourable Order. IV* arc happy to add, that his Royal High- ness the Lord High Admiral, with his charac- teristic promptitude, has promoted to the rank of Post Captain, all the Commanders who were serving- in the ships engaged with the Turkish fleet— the senior Lieutenant of each ship to the rank of Commander, and the senior Mate serving oil board to the rank of Lieu- tenant. We also understand that such of the mates and midshipmen, wounded in the action, as had served their time, have been likewise promoted.— Sun. A letter, we understand, has been addressed by his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence to Mrs. Hathuist, condoling with her on the loss of her late husband, Captain Bathurst, who, after distinguishing himself in the battle of the 20r! i of October, against the combined Turkish ami Egyptian fleet, fell iu the moment of vic- tor)", very much regretted by the Duke himself, and the whole country. A communication of this unfortunate event has been made to his Majesty, who, no doubt, itis Royal Highness added, would do every thing in his power to mitigate her loss — Evening Paper. By the intelligence received this morning from South America, it would appear that the prospect of a Colombian dividend is still a very remote one. A mail has arrived from the Lee- ward Islands, bringing letters from Laguira of the feu of Sept. It will be recollected, that by an order of'Congress, one- fourth part of cer- tain branches of revenue was set apart for the payment of the interest on the foreign debt of Colombia ; but such were the necessities of the province, that this fund eonld not be permitted t.) accumulate, being regularly broken in upon for the public service ; and the treasury, conse- quently, at the date of these letters, contained, as was supposed, a very small amount indeed in hard cash Aftmrs were quite tranquil, and in business there were some symptoms of improve- ment ; but a want of enterprise among the com- mercial men was likely to prevail till the result of the proceedings of Bolivar in the capital was known. Lord Ingesfrie arrived at the Admiralty last night, at ten o'clock, with despatches from Sir E. Codringtou, and had an immediate inter- view with Sir G. Cockbiirn. The despatches from Admiral Codringlon were landed at Aneona, from whence Contiui. Ihe messenger who brought them to London, made the journey in seven days and a half, although he was detained some hours in Paris! We are happy ill being able to state on au- thority, that Ihe French Admiral not only be- haved IHOSI gallantly in the engagement with Ihe Turkish fleet, but also with the greatesl deference and respect lo the authority of Sir E. Codrington. A misunderstanding had pre- viously existed between the French and Eng- lish Admirals; but on this occasion all was forgotten, anil the most cordial co- operation took place.— Atlas. His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral has promoted to Ibe rank of Post Captain all ibe Commanders who were serving iu Ibe ships engaged with the Turkish fleet ; the senior lieutenant of er. cli ship to the rank of com- mander; am) the senior mate serving on hoard to the rack of lieutenant. It is said, also, that such of lha mates and midshipmen wounded in the action, as had served their time, have been likewise promoted. Admiral Codriugton, it is said, among other rumours, is to have a peerage; ami that his title will be Baron Navarin. This in general is rather a foreign than an English practice; but we have the precedent of St. Vincent, and one or two others. The Lord High Admiral, in Ibe course of awarding honours and promotions to the Offi- cers of the different branches of tlie service engaged in the glorious action of Navarino, lias been pleased lo order that Captain Moore, Ibe surviving Captain of Royal Marines, shall be promoted to the rank of Brevet Major; and that the two Senior Lieutenants shall be promoted to the rank of Captains, iu Ihe room of Captains Bell and Stevens; and I lie two senior Second Lieutenants to he First Lieu- tenants, in the room of those so promoted.

Butcher, to,, be sold by auction, who, A LA ROBINS, performed his'part so cleverly, and with so much humour, that some things brought ten times their value.-— A Band attended during the time of sale, and performed se- veral favourite pieces. Refreshments were also provided for those who chose to partake of them ; indeed every thing was conducted in a manner highly honourable to the managing Committee Amongst the company present, we observed, the High Sheriff of the county and " his Lady ; Lady George Cavendish; Lady Charles Fitzroy; John Bolton, Esq Colonel Marton ; James Starkie, Esq. W. Tovvnley, Esq E. R. G. Braddyll, Esq Mr. Braddyll, and the Misses Braddylls ; J. P. Machell, Esq. and Mr. Machell; the Rer. John Stofiard, D. D. and Miss Stonard: the Rev, J.

VISIT OP THE DUKE OF SUSSEX TO RICHMOND, During the late excursion of the Duke of Sussex to the North, he was received with the " reatest enthusiasm, particularly at Richmond, where he entered on Fiiday the 26th instant, escorted by the Richmond Forest Yeomanry Cavalry; and at the end of the town was met by Timothy Hntton, Esq. the Master, and the other Members of the Richmond or Lennox Lodge of Free Masons, by the staff and hand of the North York Militia, and by an immense number of the inhabitants. On the arrival of the cortege at the King's- Head Inn, where the Lennox Lodge is held, his Royal Highness, as Grand Master of England, and Lord Dundas, as Provincial Grand Master, alighted from their carriage, and entered the Lodge with the Free Masons: when the Master acknowledged the honour conferred upon the Lodge by his Royal Highness's visit; and the Chaplain, the Rev. C. J. Lockwood, read the following address:— Most Worshipful and Royal Sir,— We the Master and Brethren of the Lennox Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, beg to otfer our warmest and most dutiful acknowledgments of your giacious condescension in honouring our Lodge by your Royal presence. We, in common with our whole fraternity, cannot but reflect. with heartfelt gratitude, that when in other countries, whether by anarchy or despotism, the bonds of Masonic Union have at various time been broken, and the dearest privileges of our order violently torn away, we, ill this favoured land, have so long enjoyed uninterrupted freedom in our Lodges, under the patronage and protection of your illus- trious family. We cannot but feel it a distin- guished blessing that the Sovereign on the throne s the Patron of our order, and that in the person of your Royal Highness we have so exalted an ornament to our community, and so zealous an assistant in preservation of our liberties. 1 To honour the King' is not the least conspicuous amongst the prevailing principles of the craft. As Masons, therefore, no less than as subjects, we tender our homage of loyalty and attachment to the person and government of his most gracious Majesty, and of sincere affection to every member of his Royal House. To yourself, Royal Sir, we cannot adequately express our happiness in having thus an opportunity of de- claring to your Royal Highness in person, as our Most Worshipful Grand Master, our unfeigned devotion. Permit us to assure your Royal High- ness. that we shall long cherish in our hearts a lively sense of the proud distinction which you haye this day conferred upon our Lodge." To which his Royal Highness gave the following answer:— Worshipful Master and Brethren of the Lennox Lodge, The profession pf your attachment and loyalty to the person of his Majesty, the Patron of our order, is a most welcome sound to my ear. In our Masonic character, we have an additional cause for being devoted to our Most gracious Sovereign, as previous to the King's attaining that exalted situation, for which Provi- dence had destined liirn, his Majesty did preside over the craft for nearly a quarter of a century, and by his royal influence and exertions in the hour of danger, preserved us from that persecu- tion and ultimate destruction to which our most ancient and honourable Institution has been and is exposed in most parts of the Continent. Had not the Prince of Wales been G rand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons of Great Britain during the year 1796, it is almost certain that we should have been prevented from assembling as we now do ; and King George the Fourth, since his accession to the throne of these realms, has continued to us, by graciously condescending to become our patron, that protection and favour which has increased our importance in this coun- try, and commanded for us respect in other climes ever hostile to our existence. We, therefore owe an additional debt of gratitude to his sacred person, independent of our duty to him as a So vereign. This we cannnot better discharge, than by a strict adherence to the recognized statutes of our society, and by a steady obedience to the laws of our country— thus proving to the world, by the moral and civil regulations of our conduct both in public and private, that a good Mason is not only an upright man, but a most loyal and faithful subject. " As for the assurances of your attachment to the Grand Master; I receive them with the same pleasure as you have tendered them, being fondly persuaded of the sincerity with which they have been proferred me. When circumstances allow of my visiting a Lodge holden under the constitution of the Grand Lodge of England, I always avail myself of the opportunity with eagerness, as my earnest and constant desire is to encourage and maintain harmony and good- will amongst all the members of our excellent body, of which every Lodge is to be considered an integral part. May you ever act up to those professions which I have so gladly heard this day, and it will always be my pride, as well as my glory, under the protec- tion of the Great Architect of the Universe, to watch over and promote your interests, which never can be separated from my own, as they are founded on principles having for their object the happiness of mankind. '• Give honour to whom honour is due— pay especial obedience to the laws of your own land — respect those of other countries, where you may chance to reside, live and be in charity with all the world. Then will the excellence of our principles be acknowledged universally, as tending to diffuse happiness over the whole surface of the globe, to give credit to our hody, and to confer honour on your Grand Master." His Royal Highness afterwards proceeded to the Town- Hail, where the freedom of the bo rough Was presented to him, for which he, in a suitable . manner; returned thanks.—- A sump- tuous repast tvas provided on the occasion, and after a number of appropriate toasts and speeches, the company separated, highly gra- tified with the attention paid to them by his Royal Highness. A prospectus of a new National Bank has appeared in some of the'principal London papers. " Frnin its anonymous character," says the New Times. it is impossible to say what por- tion of the capitalists in town or country mean to give the plan their support." The pros- pectus is rather nf a diffusive nature, nnd the topics enlarged upon are of a novel description. The scheme professes to- give a solid provincial currency to the country, nnd holds up the present race of country bunkers as ill- used by the Bank of England branch banks. The business it intends to carry on is not exactly defined, but we can gather from the materials before us, that it is to issue no notes, but in lieu of others withdrawn from circulation— that it is not to receive deposits— not lo prac- tice agency nor discount— lo unite all Ihe private hankers into one great joint stock company, of which tliey are lo be ( if not in reality) the . branches, and to accommodate the country bankers wilh National instead of Bank of England paper, in the ivay proposed in the circular published by one of ihe hank directors some time ago. At present, any thing like an elaborate review of this projected concern would he a work of supererogation. Sufficient data have not been afforded, and time can only develope the feasibility of its plant, aud the honesty of Us intentions. " FORGET ME NdT."— 1828. I Robbery and Attempt to Murder.- On ( he We shortly Noticed in our last the receipt of j evening Wednesday^ week^ a young gentle a copy of Mr. Ackerniawn's new annual volume, "'' '*""" ' under the above title:— We have now to add, that it is a specimen of the most beautiful typography, with several exquisite embellish- ments, and containing literary articles of great merit. The engravings are thirteen In number, and are elegant productions of Messrs. E. Finden, S. Davenport, J. Itomnev, H. Le Keux, A. W. Warren, Goodyar and Shenton, and R. Wallis. Some of them are from pic- tures and drawings of Celebrity, as the Seventh Plague of Egypt, by Martin, and the Biridal Morning, by StephanOfT. There is one from an excellent drawing of the Rialto of Venice, by Prout; and Thomson's Booroom Slave is haracterized by beautiful simplicity and grace- fulness. Richter's Logicians is rich in Cha- racter, and his humorously explained by one of Mr. Hood's punning pieces of rhyme. Amongst the numerous contributors to the poe- tical department, are the names of Mont- gomery, Hogg, Mrs. Hemans, Miss Landon, Bernard Barton, the Rev. W. L. Bowles, Hood, & c. & c. We copied two poetical pieces into our last, and we this week present our readers with the following lines by Mont- gomery, intending to continue our selections. TIME EMPLOYED, TIME ENJOYED. Addressed to a Young Lady from whom the Au- thor had received an elegantly- wrought Watch- poclcet^ WITHOJ thjs curious case Time> sentinel I place, Who, while calm unconscious slumber Shuts creation from mine eyes, Through the silent gloom shall number Every moment as it flies, And record, at dawn of day, Thrice ten thousand past away. On each of these my breath May pause ' twixt life and death ; By a subtler line depending Than the ray of twinkling light. Which the smallest star is sending Every moment through the night ; For, on films more finely spun, All things hang beneath the sun. Rapt through a wildering dream, Awake in sleep I seem ; Sorrow wrings my soul with anguish, Joy expands my throbbing breast; Now o'erwhelm'd with care I languish, Now serene and tranquil rest: Morning comes ; and all between Is as though it ne'er bad been. But Time has day- light hours. And man immortal powers ; Waking joy and sleepless sorrow. Worldly care, celestial peace ; Life, renewing every morrow. Not with death itself shall cease ; Man, through all eternity. What he here hath been shall be 1 May she. whose skilful hand This fairy net- work plann'd, Still in innocent employment.

Sheffield. J. M. Caution.— We understand that several forged £ 5 Bank of England notes are now in circu- lation in Liverpool. Daring Robbery.— On Thursday evening week, between seven and eight o'clock, a daring robbery was committed in the house of Margaret and Ann Sefton, two elderly maiden females, residing at Beard wood fold, near Blackburn, under the following circum- stances :— The two females had gone to a cow- house, at a short distance, to milk, leaving the door at the back part of the premises unfastened ; but taking the sneck with them, which unlatched the front door, and hap- pened lo be loose. After they bad been gone a short time, two neighbours perceived a light in the house, fried the door, and found it fastened inside ; when one of them went to the cow- house, to inform Miss Seflons of the circumstance, one of whom returned to the premises immediately. On arriving there, the house was iu darkness. The front door being still fastened, she hastened to ( he hack part of the premises; the candle, wliicll had been left in the kitchen, was found to have been re- moved. On obtaining a light, a scene of the greatest disorder presented itself. The drawers were misplaced and ransacked: and the contents strewn about the floor. Nor was Ihe confusion less above stairs; boxes had been removed, parcels opened, and various articles were missing. It was discovered that money had been taken from various drawers in the house and chamber, consisting of ten country £ 1 inites, a considerable sum iu silver, aud three old spade guineas, amounting to nearly £ 30; a quantity of ancient silver, of various reigns, a gold ring, a silver thimble, some bed linen, and other articles. On a search being instituted, three drawees, which had been taken away, and iu which the silver was contained, were found broken open, and thrown into a field, half a mile distant, the same night ; and next morning, an old oak chest, which had also been conveyed away, was discovered. No circumstance has yet transpired likely to lead to a detection of the offenders. The Cotton Crop.— The Not- Ill Carolina Star, of the 28th Sept. states, that the cotton crops, in that slate, Virginia, South Carolina, aud Georgia, will this year fall short of iheir usual quantity. The Southern Advocate, printed at Hunlsville, Alabama, states, that in uoilli aud south Alabama and Tennessee, and in Mississippi and Louisiana, the season has been so dry the crops will also be short. Enormous Cabbages.— A cabling'), of the ex- traordinary weight of 541b. and measuring 19 feel in circumference, was lately cut in Ihe garden belonging to Mr. Butler of Pilling, in this county. It wiisgrown in the open ground, without any additional care bestowed upon it. — Another cabbage, weighing 601b. was lately cut. by James Elliot, of Sultosli. There were not iess than 56 cart- loads of onions iu Kendal market, on Thursday week, a great portion of which sold at from 5d. to 9d. per stone. The average prise for the best onions was about 8d. man, on Ills way over Blackston- edge towards Rochdale, was attacked by three men, who, after firing at him, knocked him down, mid dragged him into a hole near the road side,' where- ( lie excavators have lately been em- ployed in lowering the road. There ( lift vil- lains most shamefully maltreated him, and lobbed Ii im ( it £ 60. A chaise coming up at the time, fortunately disturbed ( hem. and they ran off across ( lie moor. The gentleman made the best of liis way to Mrs. Fan I liner's, the Coach and Horses Inn, to whom lie related ( lie circumstance. Soon after Mis. Faulkner's son apprehended a person near Sowrrhy, Willi some stings in Iris pocket, similar In those fired al ( lie traveller,- and which were lodged ill bis hat. The oilier two men charged wilh this offence have been apprehended in Rochdale.— Leeds Mercury. Caution to Travellers.— On Friday evening as one of the Bradford conches WHS leaving Leeds, when a little way out of the ( own, a villain jumped up behind and seized the liat of a gentleman vvlfo was oil ( lie hind most Seat, with which he gut clear off, in consequence of the darkness of tl'e nigh', although imme- diately pursued. Horse- Stealing.— Monday morning week, a valuable carriage Innst1, belonging lo Mr. James Hibbert Wanklyn, was missed trom a meadow in Cnimpsall, near Manchester. On the following ( lay, Mr. Lavender received a letter from Mr. Ankers, a publican In Taf- porley, stating that he had reason lb suppose that a horse, then in his possession, had been stolen from or about Manchester. Mr. Laven- der sent over Mr. Wanklyn's coachman,* M'Ho found that the horse in question was his mus- ter's. It appeared that Mr. Ankers was stand- ing at his door on Monday morning, when n man passed him on ( he horse, which he rode with a sack and a halter, instead of a saddle and bridle. Mr. Ankers called out fo him, aud asked if the horse was on sale ? The man replied dial it was, and named £ 20 as Ihe price. This being infinitely below the value of the animal, Mr. Ankers immediately sus- pected that the horse bail been stolen, aud with a view to detection, bargained wilh ( he man for it. and ultimately brought him down to £ 12. He ilieu proceeded to question him as ( o the way in which he became possessed of Ihe horse, hut his replies were so unsatisfactory, that Mr. Ankers had him taken iiilo custody, and wrote the letter above mentioned to Mr. Lavender. The man, whose name is John Pugh, was brought to Manchester, aud these fuels being proved against him, before Mr. Foster, ou Thursday, at tlie New Bailey, he was committed lo Lancaster, lo tnke his Irial al the next assizes. The horse had been so hard ridden, that it Was obliged to he left at Tar po r ley. Committed to our Castle.— Christopher Grant and John Ryan, charged wilh having stolen, at Liverpool, a lain I), the property of John Pocey ; John Pngli. charged with having sto- len, at Crumpsull. a gelding, the properly of James llihheii Wanklyn ; George Booth, charged with killing and slaying John Wild, at Middleton. near Manchester; and Thomas Rnshtou. wilh having assaulted Samuel ' I horn- Ion, at Haslingdeii, anil robbed him of a quantity of copper coin, a saddle, and a ( op coat. On Monday, Henry Smith was committed to the House of Correction, at Wakefield, for one month, by ( lie Rev. L. Hird, for having en- listed Into his Majesty's 33d Regiment of Foot, he being at the same li'me a private in the 3d Lancashire Militia. Coach Accident.— On Thursday week, the North Star coach was oh ila way from Man- chester, ( o Preston, when a short distance on the Northern side of Blackbnrn, one of the axletrees broke, and the coach upset. The principal iujury received was by a genlieinan, an outside passenger, who had his thigh broken. He was taken in a chair to the Red Lion Inn, in Preston, aud Ihe fracture was reduced by Mr. Lodge, surgeon. We understand Ihe up- setting of Ihe coach was purely accidental. A Dear Ride.— A country fellow was on Monday summoned to the New Bailey, Sal- ford, by Sliawcross, the informer, for riding in his cart; which being proved against him, he was fined in a miligated penalty and costs, amounting to 17s. 6d. He paid the money, muttering '' This is dear riding, gentlemen; aw cud ha' ridden to Lunuon for less money than Ibis." LAW INTELLIGENCE. Tuesday, Nov. 13. ( IITTIKSS IN BANCO.) EJECTMENT. Do P. AND PLUNKETT V. LORD GEOHGE CAVENDISH. Tliin was nn ejectment tried at Ibe Lancaster Assizes, for Ibe recovery of certnin estates in that county, now in the occupation or possesfion of Ibe defendant. Tbe lessor of the plaiutiff claimed tbe eslaten as heir al- law of Sir William Lowther, who died about sixty years ago, having made a will, by which, after creating a lerm of 200 years for Ihe payment of cerlain annuities, be limited an estate for life in ( he premise* lo one of Ihe Cavendishes for life, . to another of Ihein for life, and lo a third a remainder in lail. The first who had an estate for life and ( be re- mainder- man iu tail joined in suffering o recovery, which turned llie remainder into a fee. The lessor of Ihe plaintiff proved thai she was tbe heir- at- law of Sir Wm. Lowlber; but llie recovery wa « sel up in bar of lie/ clainw. Verdict for Ibe defendant. Mr. Pollock nln(* d ( bat as Ihe deeds were very long, and would occupy about four hours ill reading, they bad not iieen read at Ihe trial; hot on looking at them afterwards, it was obseived tlint a considerable portion of the est. ites were de- scribed as customary eslates, which showed that ( hey were not all freehold, and led ( o Ihe supposition that they were copyhold. They bad now an affidavit, in which the deponent swore to his belief thai this was tbe case, and Unit they were held of the Manor of Utverston, ill the county of Lancaster; and an attempt bad beeu made to procure all inspection of the Court Rolls, lo n » certain the fuel, but th* inspec ( ion bad been refused by the steward of ( he manor, without Ihe authority of a certain person, who was 1101 tbi- n at hand. Bat taking a greal portion of these estates ( o be copyhold, as Ihey would pro bnbly ( urn out lo be, then Ibe recovery, to be woitb any tbing, must, as to these lands, have been suffered in Ihe Lord's Court, if any recovery at all could be suffered of copyhold lands. The point hnd not been explicitly decided, but the ge- neral impression among Ihe protessiOB certainly was, that copyhold eMail's were not within the fdaluie de donis On these two groands he moved for a new trial. Mr. Brouyhuui - This would be Very expensive, and it should have been staled ( hat Ihe lessor oftbe plaintiff proved herself lo be Ibe heir at law of Sir Wm. Lowtber only, ex parte paterna, while the estates came ex parte mnterna. Mr. Pollock was aware of Ibut, bill still con- tended for his rule. Lord Tenttrden. — Take n role ( o shew cause why judgment ami execution should not he en- tered for the plaintiff, a « fnr an respects the* cus- tomary lands. That in Ihe utmost we can fo » yoo. Rule grant'd accordingly. Oil Thursday lasl, as Mrs. T. Leeke,- ac- companied by her mother, the Hon. Mr I'lnnkell,- and two brother*, was driving her liltle phaeton on the fliilyllead- ioad. near Aston, the breaking of a trace alarmed one of Ihe horses and made Iliein kick most furiously, da » h lo pieces ( lie splash board, and kick so far as to bruise Ihe legs of the driver in several places; she, however, held the reins firmly, and,' finding the horses resolved on running away, with great presence of mind drove lliein with ilieir heads' against a bank, ill doing which the wheels passed over a fieap of earth,' which nearly over! tinted ( lie carriage, mid the shock threw ( he whole, parly Willi violence on ( hat road. Mrs. T. Leeke fell ou her head, and her mother upon her. with two cloaks over ( Im face, and ( lie legs of ( he loiter entangled in' the reins. Still, however, Mrs. L. held last the reins, and she and her mother were dragiteif in this entangled state some yitrdS along the road, ( he lioise kicking over their hem's ioci- i- sautly. Al length Mrs. by a great effort' disentangled herself, gained her legs, seized ( lie hoises' heads, stopped them for a few seconds, while her brother cut ( lie reins, and thus saved her mother's life, who, but fm llii* ciriiuiiisiance, and die intrepid conduct of ber • blighter,' would have been dragged along to certain destruction, as lite horses went off at full speed for ( wo mite* inul a half, aud Here slopped ti'illioHt ever having orerfui'fied Ihe Carriage.

LITERARY SOUVENIR FOR 1828. Edited by ALARIC A. WATTS. THE Literary Souvenir for 1828 contains, independently of its external ornaments, no fewer than fourteen embellishments ; twelve of which are splendid line engravings, executed in tiie most finished style of the art, by the most eminent engravers of the day, from paintings of well- known beatify and celebrity, by the fol- lowing distinguished artists, viz. Henry Thom- son, R. A.— C. R. Leslie, R. A — A. E. Chalon, it. A. — H. W. Pickersgill, R. A. — T. Sto- tliard, R. A.— P. Danby, A.— W. Allan, A.— VV. Linton ( a native of Lancaster)— R. Farrier — and John Wood. Of the historical en- gravings, the two executed by Charles Rolls, namely, Juliet after the Masquerade, after Thomson, and the Duke and Duchess reading Don Quixote, alter Leslie; the Medora, bv Henry Rolls, after Pickersgill; Psyche borne by the Zephyrs, by Englelieart, after Wood ; tiie Thief Discovered, by Humphreys, after Chalon; and the Stolen Kiss, by Romney, after Allan, are amongst the most beautiful. There arc four other historical engravings, viz. the Declaration, bv Romney, after Farrier; the Ruby of the Philippine Isles, by Great- hatch, after Chalon ; the Conversation, by En- sum, after Stothard ; and Love Tormenting the Soul, by John Lewis and William Greatbatch, after Wood. One of the most splendid subjects and highly finished engravings in the volume, is the Return of a Victorious Armament to a Greek City, by Edward Goodall, after Linton. There is also a Fete Champetre, bv Robert Wallis, after Danby. It is impossible, in the brief space tp which we are constrained to re- strict ourselves, to do more than briefly enume- rate the embellishments. It may be sufficient to observe, that several of them are among the most successful specimens of art which modern times have produced, and that as a whole, they a e far more splendid and interesting ( they are also more numerous) than on any former occa- sion. The literary contents of the volume ( consist- ing of one hundred original articles, in prose and verse) will also be found to present a con- siderable improvement upon its predecessors. Agreeably with the intention expressed in the preface to the last year's Souvenir, there is nothing like an attempt to parade a long list of names; several of the most distinguished con- tributors to the work having chosen to remain anonymous. In the list of contents, however, we notice the names of Southey— Coleridge— Mrs. Hemans— Montgomery— Barry Cornwall L. E. L.— Bernard Barton— Miss Mitford— Delta— Dr. Maginn— Alaric A. Watts— Hood — Allan Cunning ham— Bowles Dale— Double- day— Clare— Lord John Russell— Elton— The Author of Selvvyq— The Author of the Lettie de Cachet— William and Mary Howitt— The Author of Solitary Hours— Malcolm— The Author of Holland Tide, & c. The book is most tastefully bound in satin paper, and the covers are ornamented with a Greek design of great beauty ; the figures of Poetry and Painting occupy the centre squares. The follow iug are specimens of the poetry:— WINDERMERE. LAUNCH, and row northward to yon gulf profound Of mountain piled on mountain : evening grey Is glooming on the majesty around.

Mersey and Irwell Cause— Vreat Preparations — Counsel— Legal Tournaments— Sir James Scarlett— Mr- Brougham— Trial of two Days. There is generally at an Assizes some one cause of great and commanding interest, either from the Hinounl of the property involved, or from Ihe im- portance of the parties contending, or from the extraordinary professional strength engaged, or from the peculiarity or noveliy of the question, nnd sometimes Irom a combination of till these circumstances iu ( he same cause. At the late Luo- casler Assize*",- the grand- object of curiosity was the indictment preferred by the Corporation of Liverpool, against the ' Henry nud Irwell Nnvign- tion Company, in which all these eourcesnf interest were united. There were indeed two indictments, though oniy one wa » tried ; both being of the same nature, that is, prosecutions for nuisances in Ihe erection of extensive works, connected wilh the canals of the Mersey nod Irwell Company, which were calculated. Recording to tbe allega- tion of I tie prosecutor*, to injure the navigation of the river Mersey. The prodigious extent of • raffle curried on, both by Ihe inland navigation which these works were erected to improve, and through the port of Liverpool, which Ibey were alleged to injure,— Ihe evil consequences which would nrisp, on Ihe one band, from deteriorating I he navigation of the second commercial port iu the world - and, on the other, the enormous diffi- culty and expense, not to say tbe impossibility, of maintaining, by nuy other means Ihun Ihe works complained of, tlie good Mule of on inland water communication, unrivalled in importance these considerations, combined with the wealth nnd power of Ihe disputing purlieu, caused Ihe trial to be anticipated wiiti tinnsn. il interest. The preparations made were answerable lo tbe greatness of the object* in dispute. The attorneys on each side had devoted mouths of assidou* labour to what is called ilie " getting up" of their respec- tive CUSPS. Crowds of witnesses were brought for both parties, and bad been in attendance many day*. Bill what tended most of nil lo stimulate cariosity, wits the eminence of the counsel engaged. The Mersey and Irwell Company bad brought down by special retainers the Attorney- General, Sir James Scarlett, whose skill as an advocate is known to be altogether unrivalled, nod whose energies were expected lo be put forili, not merely from ihe agreeable stimulus of a seven hundred guinea* fee, but from Ihe pride of conquering in a great cause, and on a theatre where he hud for so many years held undisputed sway. Tile Cor- poration of Liverpool, on the otber hand, had re- tniupd Mr. Brougham, tbe most powerful orator of bis country, who though deficient in coolness and lact, is from the grasp of bis intellect as com- peiput lo seize and present the great principles of such a ease, as from his scientific knowledge he is able to, master iis details,— and whose powers would bestimulated, not only by the greatness of tbe cause and the eminence of bis aulagonist, but by Ihe obligations under which be feels himself to lbs town of Liverpool. Bat if tbe leaders in Ihis cause may be regarded as pretty equally matched, there was no manner of proportion between Ibe juniors engaged on the ( wo sides. In hebalf . f HIP Mersey and Irwelt Company there were arraypd, miifpr Sir James ScarleU, thp stubborn strength of Mr. Sergt. Cross, HIP shrewdness and caution of Mr. Williams, thp pxppripaep of Mr. Rnlucock, Ibe deep law of Mr. Pn kp. Hie scipnce of Mr. Alderson, tbp sound in. tpllpel of Mr. (' oilman, and IIIP special pleading lalpnl'uf Mr, Tomliu* oii. tn opposition lo this phalanx, Mr. Brougham had only llirpe counsel under him, who, pitlier from jouih or some other cause, have none of llipm as yel nltniiipd lo emi- nencp. I am ready lo ad mil, Ibal the force on Ibe one sidp was much / if it superfluous, and rather en- cumbered the cause llinn helped it; becnuse it is not in legal contest* n » in military, ilial all are fighting at once, and that two UIPO may attack one al the samp moment. Tip lenders spldorn en- trust any post. of grpat imporlnncp to thp subal- tern* ; IIIP latter are allowed lo skirmish a littlp Willi pfteb oilier, and whpn ft junior on tbe one side comes out lo flourish his point*, a junior on the olbpr * ide is detached to mept him; but I lie moment that serious danger appears, the captain^ • pring forth into the mid- field, and contest il s; iear to spea', and blade to blade. The modprn system of warfare, in which generals keep in Ibe rpar of their armies, anil scud fojward their troops lo Ibe hnltle without engaging themselves in Ibe actua, fight, ban iiel yel been introduced into tbe Coarts, and scarcely can be; tbe old and chivalric me- thod of champions marching ut the head of their parlies, and often deciding Ihe fray by their single prowess, still holds amongst tbe heroic brethren of the long robe. Nevertheless juniors nre useful, like squires, in furnishing freBh weapons when llie old ones are broken or battered : many a Innce i* shivered, many n blade worn out, and it is thp duty of the squire lo replace them: when the knight is dismounted, or bis horse killed, his at- leudaols help him ofr to another charger, though sometimes tbe balllp is so desperate that a cham- pion will continue Ibe fight on foot, nay, even whpn he is thrown to the ground, and has " not a Ipg to * land upon." A lilt between Sir James Scarlptl and Mr Brougham, on such an occasion as this, is a flue spectacle. Sir James in accoutred from top lo lop in scale- armour, of the highest polish, and proved in a thousand combats. He is rather below Ibe heroic stature, but his frame is well knit und formed for Ibp nimosl activity, ns well as capable of enduring great fatigue. His weapons are of Ihe finest temper, his lunce always well poinlpd( and his blade keen and bright. From uuder his close and shining casque beams a piercing blue eye, expressive at ouce of pride, caution, and ceaseless vigilance. He rides a steed of elegant shape, though uot strong, nor swift and free in the course.* Tbi* redoubtable knigbt has epenl hi* life in the lists, aud Ibe use of arms is as familiar to him a* the use of her tongue lo a woman. Yel Sir James nfler all is not a perfect cavalier, for out of the Held he is nothing extraordinary; be neither shines in the court, nor thunders in the senate, nor distinguishes himself in the walks of literature. Mr. Brougham is in every respect different to his adversary. He is of much higher stature and of herculean strength, but less nimble, uot so finely proportioned, aud inferior in dexterity. He wears black armour, less neatly kept Iban tliat of his antagonist. Not careful about appearance*, be lounge* ungracefully round the field before Ihe buttle commences, and when the trumpet is sounded he dashes heedlessly to the encounter. Bnl when he has an enemy nnd a cause worthy of him, he draws up bis powers into martini order J bis small grey eye becomes keen and strong like the eagle's; he couches a spear like Goliath's, or swings a mace like that of Ceeur de Lion ; and, mounted on a line and powerful charger, hisonsel is irresistibly impetuous. . Seldom does hi* accom- plished antagonist venture to withstand Ibe first shock, but, eluding Ihe charge, he instantly wheel* round upon him, and dealshis blows with Ihe nlmost velocity and skill. Often has Ibe noir faineant dashed his rival lo ( be ground ; but slilt more fre- quently ha* Ihe lailer gained advantages by hi* quickness and cunning, nod penetrated Ibe rusly mail of ihe ginut. It is the contest of Ajax and Uly** es. Mr. Brougham, however, is more dis. tioguished in the fields of scipncp nnd legislation than in thai of law, and will leave a name a* Ihp benefactor of bis country mid of mankind when Ihe squabble* of courts arp forgotten. So much for Ibe poetry of the thing, i>* Matilda would say ; now for a liltle prose. At tlip beginning of Ibe trial, Air. Bioughnm amased himself by making joke* on Ihp uuinbpr of counspl arrayed agniust him. Mr. Baron Hullock had anuouueed that his " brother Bayley" would take some causes in tbe other court, if be could gel counsel lo go over; on which Mr. Broagliain • aid sueeringly—" My Lord, we can spare len or a dozen of my learned friend* on Ihe other side: we've a brace of Attorney- Generals, aud some twelve or fourteen counsel: ten or a dozen, my Lord, might go very well."— He also made some sneering by- ohservalions on bringing down the Attorney General by special retainer. Sir Jauie* made no reply, but looked haughty, and seemed resolved lo pay back Mr. Brougham's wil by beat- ing him. A slight contraction of Sir James's brow, and a correspondent drawing up of tbo mouth, gave lo his handsome features an expres- sion of xqnisite arrogance. His long supermncy has rendered him impatient of contradiction or rivalry, and, as be bus no wit himself, lie cannot bear the taunts and jokes of Mr. Brougham, who seems to take a pleasure in chnling the sensitive potentate. The opening speech of Mr. Brougham occupied I wo hour* in the delivery. Il was a clear and forcible statemeut. The imporiaoce of Ibe great commercial seaport of Liverpool,— the natural difficulties of the- navigation of Ihe Mersey,— Ibe ucces* i! y of guarding ngniusl any thing which could iucrense those difficulties,— the tendency of all encroachments upon Ihe tide- way, and of every abstraction either of ( he fresh or lidal water, to diminish that " scouring force" which is Ibe principal agent for keeping Ihe clianuel clear uud deep,— were powerfully and scientifically, per- haps even loo elaborately, explained. He was much less happy in describing the particular nuisance complained of, which was the feeder of a canal near Ruucorn, more than 20 miles above Liverpool, by which a large quantity of water was taken from the river, and Ibe scouring force of the ebb tide by so mneb diminished. The topography of Ihe place, aod Ihe exacl nature and dales of Ihe different parts of this nuisance, were not very intelligibly explaioed to a person who had not a map before him. Sir James Scarlett would have made all these points « » clear as day- light. Having laid down Ihe general principle thai ibe abstraction of water tended to diminish the force of Ihe current aud of Ibe return- tide, and thus to allow Ihe mud brought down by Ihe stream loaccnmolaleiu sbonlsnud banks, he slated the evidence by which he should prove that Ihis ef- fect hud actually been produced Hesuaimed up all in a peroration somewhat loo line for the plniu mailers of fact which lie had been stating imme- diately before. But Mr. Brougham is famous for hi* studied and eloquent perorations; nnd, having heard several of hi* great speeches, I can now always tell when he i* on Ihe point of concluding, by the occurrence of one or two loug sentences in a lofty style, and delivered wilh peculiar em- phnsis I have seen the closing passage tolerably reported, as follows:—" He fell lliat he hnd not gone loo far in describing Ihe importance of these encroachments, when he saw llint alllhe busy ( own or Liverpool, its commerce, il* opulence, nnd tbe constant strife of its mercanlilemen,— forming nsit did the key- stone by which remote parts of the earth were hound, npt only with each other, Irut, benefi- cially for u « , with the inland Irade of England, — so lhat Ihe very felling of the forests of the new world wight be said, by means of the navigation of Liverpool, by means of Ihis important channel of the Mersey, ( o be so connected wilb Ibe traffic of our country, that the sound of the axe which had for ( he first time perhaps broken Ihe solilorfe of Ibose wildernesses, was echoed in the livelier • 1 once saw this champion fairly ridden down, lo the astonishment of all the world, by a clown on a cart- horse ; the name of his brawny assailant * al Hunt, and tli# tourna- ment was at York. sounds of ihe shuttle in Lancashire and Yorkshire, and again reverberated ( so infinite were tbe con- nexions nnd links of commerce) in Ihe more guilty sonads by which the Antilles were culti- vated ;— all this would be terminated, all this strife of men— their bn « y hum and Iheir great eoutests— by those little sand- banks which the present nuisance was calculated lo throw up. Ill motus animorum atque hiec certaminatanta, Pulveris exigui jactu compressa quiescunt." The Evidence for the prosecution, as lo Ihe ten- dency of ao abstraction of water to injure the navigable channel, was very strong; but Ihe weakness of Ihe case lay in Ibe deficiency of proof thai injurious effect* had actually been produced. The witnesses brought to prove this were persons of Iillle intelligence, many of them flat- men plying upon the river; and some of Ibem were confessedly acting under Ihe influence of hostile feelings toward* Ihe Mersey, and Irwell Company. The engineers were clo- ely cross- examined by Sir James Scarlett, who took nearly Ihe whole business upon himself, nnd seldom nllowed his jnuiors to interfere: he appeared, however, to listen with respect to the suggestiuus of Mr. Alderson, and framed upon them several of his questions lo Ihe witnesses. The juniors, in Iheir turn, neglected Ihe cause, and allowed the Attorney General lo have it all his own way ; and, as Mr. Brougham on his side was obliged to take the same promiueut part as his opponent, tbe cause became little more than a single combat. An.# rijournment having taken place at the close of the prosecutor's case, Sir James Scarlett replied oil the following morning. His speech occupied three hours, during which lime he lore tbe evi dence for Ihe prosecution lotatters. He displayed greHt skill in exposing the fallacies in the calcu- lations of Ihe engineers, and disposed of Ibe evidence of the flat- mfii by a few contemptuous but effective remarks. He showed many extraordinary deficiencies in Ihe case, aod conteoded ( bat Ibe jury could not possibly convict on tpstimony so sus- picious Bud defective. The speech contained no eloquence, mid the flow of words was neither free nor equable ; but Ihe language was elegant, Ihe reasoning powerful and persuasive, the state- ments luminous, Ihe illustrations happy, and Ihe whole a piece of consummate pleading. Il lef| upon me the impression thai I had never heard a man of clearer head, of stronger sagacity in detecting Ibe weakness of an adversary, or more perfect dexterity in the management of his ow n case. The evidence for Ihe defence quite demolished the case for Hie ^ roseciiiioa, and Ibe jury inter- rupted the examination of witnesses by declaring Ihat they were satisfied. The Attorney General had had ( he boldness to ask them, before Ihe con- clusion of his speech, if they were not prepared lo give a vprdict for the defendants without hear- ing any evidence, The jury very properly re- plied iu the negative, but Sir James's question no doubt paved the way for Iheir subsequent deciara- lion Hint llipy wpre satisfied, and was a stroke ol policy intended to impress them wilh hi* convic- tion of ihe litter hnllowue** of the pro « Pcution. flc wa* also very rpluctant lo afford Mr. Brougham an opportunity of reply, to which the calling of witnesses won id give bim « right. The latter could not hope, afler tbe jury bad declared Iheir opinion so decidedly, lo ohtnju Iheir verdict; but be availed himself of bis right of addressing them, for Ihe purpose of repelling the severe im- putation made by Ihe Attorney General on tbe professional manager of tbe prosecution, and of correcting some of his other misrepresentations. He nlso took Ihe occasion to lash Sir James, and vented upon him some bitter sarcasms. I scarcely need say, that the verdict of the jury was an ncqnitlal of the defendants. The cause afforded a remarkably fine display of the talents of two eminent men; and if I have at all suc- ceeded in giving an idea of Ihe manngemeul on each side, neither Ihe lime of my readers nor my own will have been lost. A RAMBLER. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Cambridge, JVov. 9. The Rev. Martin Davy, D. D. Master of Caius College, was on Sunday last elected Vice- Chancellor of this Univerity for the year ensuing. The subject of the Norrisian prize essay for the ensuing year is " The nature and use of Parables as employed by CHRIST." The Master and Fellows of Catharine Hall have presented the Rev. Samuel Stones Rushby, M. A. Fellow of that society, to the rectory of Coton, in this county, void by the death of the Rev. Joshua Waterhouse. At a congregation on Wednesday last, a grace passed the Senate to confer the degree of Doctor in Divinity, by Royal Mandate, oil Professor Turton, of Catharine Hall. At the same congregation, Joseph Sturges, of Trinity College, was admitted Master of Arts; aud Richard Fleming Hartley, B. A. of Trinity College, Dublin, was admitted ad eundem of this University. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— NOVEMBER 8. MAJOR V. IIOLDSWORTH. Mr. John Williams moved, in this case, for a rule to show cause why the verdict returned for the plaintiff should not be set aside, on the ground of excessive damages : the action was tried at the last York Assizes. The plaintiff, it appeared, was thp widow of a butcher and grazier, residing at Leeds, who had brought her action against the defendant for the seduction of her daughter. The daughter had a fortune of ,£ 300 iu her own right, and was the eldest' but two of seven children. For the plaintiff, no evidence was adduced of the circumstances, but that the defendant kept two hunters. Mr. Justice Bayley, who tried the cause, stated that the witness, who was seduced, proved that at various times he left sums of money from £ 2M) lo £ 3000 with her to keep for him ; and another witness declared the defendant to be an independent man. The Lord Chief Justice, having consulted with Ihe other Judges, observed, that the question of damages ill an action of sedu tion was entirely a question for the Jury's consideration, and that the Court could aol interfere, unless it clearly ap- peared before them they had acted under a wrong impression. Sufficient reason had not been laid before them to alter the verdict.— Rule refused. THE SILK TRADE. This important branch of our trade has within the last fortnight been gradually becoming less brisk, and from a state of activity has relapsed iuto a degree of langour, which, it is feared, will last for some time. Those opposed to the new measures of government respecting the trade, are again loud in their complaints, against the import of French manufactures ou the present low duties, and anticipate a recur- rence of the distress experienced by the trade, twelve months since. The most influential individuals however think differently, and feel assured that the present inactivity will be only temporary. It is certainly true, that since the late improvement in the trade, French manu- factures have poured in, but it is likewise true, that the preference for English manufactures by our country- ivomen is on the increase, the novelty of procuring French silks having been lost by their ready introduction. The weavers in Spitalfields are not at present nearly so much employed t\ s they were a month ago, and many of the manufactures have reduced considerably their hands. Those weavers employed have been reduced from one penny to twopence per yard, in several ins'ances. This, however, is always a dull season of the year, and tbe shop- keepers diminishing already in stock, it is not expected, by the most sanguine, that the re- vival will not occur before Christmas PEERAGE OF IRELAND.

The affair of the Lord Bishop of Peter- borough and the Rev. Incumbent of Ham hleton, in Rutland, which has twice been alluded to in the pnMic papers, has of course excited much interest, and a strong desire to know the particulars of the disagreement. W can stale, from good authority., that they are as follow:— The Bishop was holding a visita tion and confirmation at Oakham, when some children of the Rev. Cll.. s. Collier's parish of Hainhleton, were presented for confirmation nil lit i nt their having obtained the Minister'! certificate. Mr. Collier represented, that lie had refused the certificate, » s deeming til children, on examination, not fit fo come to Ihe ordinance. The Bishop requested that the Rev. Dr. Wilkius, of Nottingham, who happened to he present at this visitation in Rutland, wsulil examine ( he children from Hninblelon. The Rev. Doctor did examine them, and granted the usual certificates. The children, and a large number of others, were already at Ihe altar, when the Bishop addressed some strong observations to Mr. Collier, repeatedly called him " a tyrant in his parish," and declared that he was unfit lo examine children, and should not do so for the future. This led to some language iu a loud tone, and a declaration by the Vicar of Ham. hleton to his Loidship, that he would '- drag him before the House of Lords." Besides holding Hie vicarage of Hainhlelon, tbe Rev. Charles Collier is also Vicar of Riby, Lincoln- shire, and both livings are in the gift of the Lord Bishop of Winchester.— Stamford Mer- cury. Virtue is certainly the most noble and secure possession a man can have. Beauty is worn out by time or impaired by sickness— riches lead youth rather to destruction than welfare, and without prudence are soon lavished away — while virtue alone, the only good that is ever durable, always remains with the person who has once entertained her. She is pre- ferable both to wealth and a noble extraction. Minuteness of Atoms.— Goldbeaters, by ham- mering, Ban reduce gold to leaves so thin, that 282.000 must be laid upon each other lo produce the thickness of an inch; yet those iearps are perfect, or without holes, so that one of litem laid upon any surface, as in gild- ing, ( jives Ihe appearance of solid gold.

In ihe milt of a cod- fish, or in water in which certain vegetables have been infused, the microscope discovers nni- tnalcula. of which many thousands together do uot equal in hulk a grain of sand ; anil yet nature, with a singular prodigality, has sup- plied many of these with organs as complex as those of the whale orelephaut; anil llieir bodies consist of Ihe same suhs( i » n<' e, or ultimate atoms, as that of man himself. In a single pound of such matter, there are more living creatures than of human beings on the face of this globe. What a scene has Ihe microscope opened to the admiration of the philosophic inqiiitrr! Water, mercury, sulphur, or, in general, nuy substance, when sufficiently healed, rises as invisible vapour or gas; that is, it is reduced to the aeriform stale. Great Ileal, therefore, would cause ( lie whole of the material universe to disappear, and the most solid bodies to become as invisible and impal- pable as Ihe air we breathe. Few have con- templated an annihilation of the world more complete than this.— Arnotf's Elementi. A countryman was present « t 4 j- ecenl musical festival in a countiv town, when a young lady was executing, rather indifferently, —" Ohad I Juhal's lyre !" '• O ! rabbit it," suddenly exclaimed tlie astonished rusltc, wiili great simplicity, " 1 lllow't summtil wur wrong, — if ye' 11 just let un knaw whour it is, I'll gi'e it ye, Miss."

CORN- ESCSANGS, Nov. II. Oursnpplies, fresh up this morning, were rather moderate, ' Wlth the quantity remaining unsold from last week, the appearance of the different stands was resectable, and fully adequate to the demand, as the best samples of wheat barely supported Monday s prices, while the middling sorts could find no purchasers. The best maltiint barley sold at 36s. per quarter, altbougu we had hut little of this kind at market Beans and pease, of both kinds, were brisk sale at an ad. vance of Is. per quarter. The oat trade i> filrem ly dull, and Irish oats are Is. per quarter cheaper, and the sa'en are very heavily made at that abatement. In other articles of grain there is no variation. 32 « : « .
