KtSO'S THFATRK. Oil lat the I taliun i iirr.it Fl.ii: a sJucPWsfttl, and met wkh every" apposition from the Paddington coachmen. Turner was paid by thesn, and, of course, in their interest. He was singled out, for at the time he was plying the common coaches were suffered to remain without opposition. The Lord Mayor asked what advantages the vehicle gave to the public Mr.

Shillibeer said the Omnibus carried no outside passengers, but the most effectual accommodation was given inside. It had six window it travelled with great safety; reached Paddington, from the Bank, in 40 minutes, for one shilling, and half way for sixpence never entered into dangerous competition, and the greatest civility was observed. The conductor was a perfect gentleman, and the public showed what they thought of the Omnibus, for 14 or 15 ladies and gentlemen were frequently to be seen running after it when it was completely full. The Lord Mayor said that these were certainly strong recommendations. The civility, in particular, was a charm with which those who travelled the Pad-dingten-road were not accustomed to meet from the coachmen.

He thought the Omnibus might tend to reform the manners of these well-known gentlemen of the whip. Turner said, that the civility was certainly remarkable but ha denied that he had selected the Omnibus from the other coaches. The fact was, he apprehended that if he did not act as he had done the most Berious complaints would be made against him. Mr. Shillibeer.

Aye, by the Paddington coachmen. The Lord Mayor said he certainly considered that Turner was by no means a disinterested witness. The Omnibus should enjoy the same advantages the stagecoaches bad. The Paddington coachmen were acting injudiciously in this opposition for, if men of business were annoyed by these squabbles, all stage vehicles should be sent out of the City, and approach no nearer than Finsbnry-square. Mr.

Shillibeer would not have the slightest objection to the prohibition provided it were a general one. He wanted no more indulgence than the stHge-coaches had. The Lord Mayor declared that there could be no greater nuisance than the Paddington coaches. Mr. Shillibeer stated that their opposition ivas of the most violent kind, and the street-keeper joined them, and called all sorts of names to the Omnibus but he did not care about noise.

He would willingly make vehicles of the kind for the proprietors. He made all the carriages of -Monsieur Lafitte, the banker, at Paris. The Lord Mayor Well, we certainly sanction a moderate time to the stage coaches, and I don't see why you should not have a similar indulgence. It appears to me no greater nuisance than a Paddington coach, and it certainly has advantages of a very high order. The officer must place you under those regulations, and do not violate them.

Mr. Shillibeer said that his lordship should never hear a complaint Uttered against his servants. All his passengers should be treated with the utmost respect and, as for the Paddington coaches, he cared nothing about their hostility, except when exercised as it was that day. The defendant then departed, no penalty having been exacted. Bow-sTBEKT.

On Saturday Captain Richards, of n. uimmiwMi lipffire Mr. Ilallti. the PORTSMOUTH, Jrrt.v It. On Tuesday last arrived the Lord Wellington transport, from Rio de Janeiro, from which she sailed on the 5th of May.

This ship was commissioned by Captain Sir J. Gordon Sinclair, pursuant to orders, to bring home the officers and crew of the late ship Doris, whose very defective state would have rendered extremely hazardous a voyage in her round Cape Horn. A considerable onantity of her stores wore brought away, and her hull had been hauled on the beach at Valparaiso, where it would be sold. The Wellington has brought home about 150,0001. sterling in silver and platina.

She brings but little political intelligence, and that only conveys the unsatisfactory fact of the king-dams and states of South America being not only injudiciously governed, but of those in power being influenced by the worst of principles. The Clulians Were in a condition which thrived the most. They had prudently curtailed the power of the priesthood by suppressing their ecclesiastical establishments (which had been much abused), the possessions of which had been appropriated to the service of the state. A large tract, formerly the projertv of the convent of San Domingo, had realised 000,000 dollars, a large portion of which was on the point of being embarked In the Wellington, for the payment of the interest on the Chilian Bonds in this country, when an excuse was made that a remittance in bills should be sent in lieu of it. The President and Senate of Chili were about to hold a congress at Valparaiso, principally in order to be near the island of Chiloe, at which place the French had made earnest supplication to form a settlement, having in the first instance requested to land 2,000 armed men.

This request had leen refused, but the Chilians were still anxious on the subject. No information had of late lieen received from Dr. Francia, iifhis kingdom in Paraguay, where he still detained the celebrated French naturalist, Bompland, whose wife hud vainly endeavoured to reach him she was obliged to return to Valparaiso, where she is keeping a school. The Menai, 20, Captain Bmirchier, was to leave Coquimbo on the 25th of May, with specie, for England and the Heron, 18, Captain Duntee, was to follow in August, with what treasure she could collect. The Alert, 18, Captain Burgess, had gone to San Bias, to collect silver the Sapphire, 28.

Captain Dundas, was at the intermediate ports; the Forte, 44, Captain Coghlan, was at Valparaiso she was about to proceed to Callao, and would subsequently go to Guyaquil, and break the blockade which the Peruvian squadron was vexatiously endeavouring to effect to annoy the Colombians, but which in realitv, a pretext for exactions on the English commerce The Adventure and Beagle, surveying ships, had finished their survey of Magellan's Straits, and in another season would complete the chart of the islands off Cape Horn and Staten Land, and would then proceed to England- The Hudson, a first class American frigate, had relieved the Brandywine, which ship is now on her return to New York. The Thetis, 40, Captain Bingham, was lying in the river Plate. Nothing had been heard of the French expedition which left Rio some months since, for the purpose of effecting a settlement on the west coast of New Holland, either at Swan River, ar a few degrees to the northward of it. The zealoos conduct of the squadron on the coast of Africa has been successful in intercepting the slave trade iu an unprecedented degree. letters from the Sybille, Commodore Collier, dated thellth of April, at sea, communicate the fact of the vessels under this gallant officer's command having captured, since December, 1804 slaves.

The squadron, within 22 months, has retrieved from this state of misery 3679. The Sybille was very healthy, and sailed from Accra a day or two previously. The commodore was in active search of the Spanish slave ship, mounting 2G guns, and fitted for carrying 1000 slaves. The Sybille had fitted out a tender, called the Dallas, formerly the Black Nymph. The Primrose arrived at Accra on the 7th of April, all well.

AN8TRUTHER AND AN3TRUTHEK. tn this case a petition was filed on the part of certain Individuals, native inhabitants of Incline who are managers "or executors of tho estate of the late Sir John Anstruther, praying tho court to admit their own evidence with respecWto a debt of 2001 which they alleged to be due to them by the deceased at the time of his death. In the event of the application heiug refused, the petitioners asked time to produce further evidence of the justice of their claim. Sir.

Knight, who appeared for the petitioners, stated that there had been a reference to the Master so long as in the year 1815 on the subject of this claim. Tho debt was not then disallowed, nor had it been distinctly allowed, although the petitioners thought it was. Master Campbell, before whom the inquiry took place, treated the matter not as a debt of which there was satisfactory proof, but in the light of a claim which it required additional evidence to establish. The testimony of the petitioners was uot considered by the Master as sufficient for that purpose, on the ground of their being managers," or executors of the estate. Now he (Mr.

Knight) contended that their character of executors or managers" the Hindostanee word of which these were a translation he should not venture to pro-nounce (a laugh) ought net to deprive the petitioners of the common privilege of creditors. There was no pretence for saying that this was not a perfectly just and equitable claim, and had it not happened to his clients to be managers," their own testimony as to the debt wonld have been perfectly valid. He thought it hard because we excluded the evidence of executors in this country under similar circumstances, that the rule should be extended to Gentoos, who, although invested with an office slightly resembling that of our executor, possessed no interest in the estate. The facts of the case as stated by the claimants were briefly these: They had made advances to Sir John Anstruther when in India, to the amount of 27001., in acknowledgment of which they accepted his notes of hand. The papers having been deposited in a room which remained shut up for a considerable length of time, it was discovered, on search being made for them, that they had been destroyed by white ants.

(Laughter.) Under these circumstances, the petitioners had nothing to offer in proof of the debt, except their own testimony. No attempt was made by the parties interested in this country to impeach it: on the contrary, their conduct had been extremely liberal. Under all the circumstances of the ease, he trusted the court would allow the petitioners' evidence. His clients were not aware it would he objected to, till the matter came before refused to admit it- It was then discovered that the debt had not been distinctly allowed by Master Campbell, as the petitioners supposed and they were obliged to come before the court with the present application. The Master of the Rolls Those executors have a much greater interest in au estate than is possessed by executors amongst us.

Here an executor has no interest, he is simply a trustee but in India all executors, more especially the Gentoos, have a large commission on the amount of the estate. I cannot allow the petitioners' evidence. Mr. Knight. Perhaps your Honour will allow us time to send to India in order to procure further evidence, and set apart a fuad out of the estate for the satisfaction of the claim, in case it shall be established.

The Master of the Rolls What do you say to that, Mr. Cockewll Mr. Cockerell (who appeared for the estate). If your Honour thinks it just, 1 can have no objection. The Master of the Rolls The principal objection to granting further time is, that the petitioners have already taken from 181o in establishing their claim.

Mr. Knight repeated that the claimants thought Master Campbell had allowed it. His Honour having inquired whether there would he any residue And being informed by Mr. Cockerell, that so far from that being the case, it was not expected that the estate would pay 30s. in the pound to the The Master of the Rolls said be was afraid he could not allow further time he should be suspending the payment of the debts of all the other creditors by acceding to the application.

If there had been any residue, he should have felt inclined to do it but he could not make the creditors wait two or three years longer, which would be the effect of postponing his decision with respect to so large a sum as that in question. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jclv 11. THX KIKfi V. SUSAXWAH SCOTT. Mr.

'bitty, at the sitting of the coart, applied ta have an early day fixed for the trial of this indictment, which had been preferred by Mr. Long Welles-ley for perjury. The defendant was confided in prison under "the warrant on which she had been committed, and as her health was suffering from the confinement, she was desirous of having an early day appointed for the trial. The prosecutor had made the case a special jury. Tha associate (Mr.

Abbott) said the cause might be get down Jbr the 24 th. STREEK V. SILL AVD AKOTHER. This was an action against a landlord and his broker for an excessive distress. By the evidence of the plaintiff's witnesses, it appeared that the plaintiff, a coach-spring-maker, in John-street, Tottcnham-oourt-road, was the tenant of the defendant Gill and there twing an arrearof rent due at Christmas last, Gill, on the 19th of January, distrained for 211- 6s- Under this distress furniture and futures, including hells, were taken to the value, as estimated by one witness, of and besides the articles mentioned in the inventory various other goods were taken and sold under the distress.

The expenses of tha distress and sale included a charge of 11. 10s. as paid to two appraisers, and 11. 16s. for auction duty, and the total amount of expenses being deducted from the proceeds of the sale, a balance was left due to the hv dlord (Gill) af 41.

About two years ago, the prisoner and another of the gang to which he belongs, were brought to thiB office, both dressed as respectable females, having been detected in a house in Torringtou-souare, where they obtained admittance on a Sunday during divine service, by inquiring for the lady of the house, whom thev knew tube at church, and under the pretence of waiting her return, they took au opportunity of seizing on the only servant, a female, in the house at the time and were eiideavouriinr to secure her, with a view, no doubt, to robbing the place, when her cries of murder alarmed some persons who were passing by, who came to her assistance, upon which the prisoner and his companion suddeuly opened the street-door, and darted off as fast as their female apparel would permit of, but after a short chace, in which all passing joined, thev were overtaken and secured in St. Giles's watch-house, and then it was that Mrs.

Furzman saw the prisoner. For that offence the prisoner and his companion were tried, convicted, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment each in the House of Correction, from which they were only discharged a few days ago, when the term of their imprisonment expired. Mabyi.eboke-oefice. Thomas Sillitor, proprietor and driver of the Paddington stagecoach, No. 4013.

was charged on Saturday, before Mr. Hoskins, and Mr. Rawlinson, with using abusive and insnlting language towards his passengers. Captain Grover, of No. 1, York-gate, Regent's Park, stated, that he came from the City npon the box of the defendant's coach on Wednesday night.

The defendant waited 15 minutes at the Angel-inn, Islington he (the Captain) complained, and in consequence of it the defendant used the most insulting language to him. The defendant disputed the length of time he hail waited, and when the captain appealed to other passengers, and they joined in his complaint, the defendant said, they were a set of liars," and offered to bet Captain Grover a bottle of wine that he did not dare to summon him before a magistrate. The captaiu's statement was supported by the evidence of several respectable inhabitants of Marylebone, who were on the coach at the time, and it appeared that Sillitor continued to abuse him all the way from Islington to the Regent's Park. Sillitor brought forward the constable who is stationed at the Angel, and another, to give evidence in his favour, but they appeared to know nothing about it, and he endeavoured to throw discredit upon the complainant by declaring he was drunk. The captain requested the magistrates to examine a brother officer with whom he spent the evening, on that point, and it appearing thut the imputation was groundless, Mr.

Hoskins told Sillitor he had greatly aggravated his offence by making an assertion so base, and he fined him 40s. with costs. Another charge of a similar kind was immediately made against the same defendant. Mr. Wilford Bulkley and his mother took inside places to the city, on Tuesday, in Sillitor's coach.

He drove them as far as the public-house at the corner of the Hampstead-road, Tottenham-court-i oad, and there he got into a dispute with two other coachmen, aud remained 25 minutes. His language was so disgusting that it would not bear to be repeated, and his conduct was so violent, that Mr. Bulkley aud his mother did not think it prudent to remain in his coach, and they left it. The cad, under Sillitor's direction, instantly seized M.r. Bulkley by his collar, and insisted upon having the fare Mr.

Bulkley paid it, and two gentlemen advised him to prosecute Sillitor, and gave their cards in case lie required their evidence. One of these gentlemen was au outside passenger, seated upon the box, and when Sillitor he took part against him, he said he'd bed if he should ride," and he made him get down. This gentleman was not required by Mr. Bulkley to attend the hearing of the case before the magistrate? but the other who witnessed the whole transaction said, that after Sillitor had caused the complainant to be so ill treated, he said to the bystanders, Now, my lads, I'll show you the way to tho City, me if I don't," and drove away. The defendant's answer amounted to nothing, and he was again fined 40s.

and costB, and Mr. Rawlinson told him, that seeing he was a man who set all decency at defiance, and cared nothing for the welfare of the public, he would not let him go until he gave security to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, himself in 501. and two sureties in 251. each, and he was detained till that was accomplished. Queen-square.

On Saturday a fellow named Henry llarrond, who has been several times within the last fortnight at the office, charged with cruelty ta his wife, was again brought before Messrs. Marriott and Gregorie, by a watchman, chstrged with beating her in a most shocking manner, sn that she was compelled to escape from his fury by jumping out of a two-pair of stairs' window into the street. The poor woman, who is enceinte, and could scarcely stand from the effects of the brutal usage she had experienced, was so bruised and swollen, that scarcely a feature was discernible, and her arms were covered with the marks of bites, which the inhuman wretch had inflicted upon her. The complainant stated that her husband tant for her to prison, where he was confined, for beating her on a former occasion, and promised never to strike her again, if she consented to his liberation. To this she agreed, but no sooner had be got her home to hig lodgings in Mer-maid-court, Chelsea, than lie fastened the door, and beat and bniwhervu Jill his force, and seized her mercy, but in vain, and had no other way to escape being murdered, but to jump out the window, which was on the second floor, into the street.

Fortunately some persons who were passing at the time, caught her ami they all fell together, or she might have been killed on the spot. Mr. Marriott. The poor woman is in a most shocking state. What can you say to such brutal conduct fellow you ore a disgrace to the name of man.

Prisoner I am sorry for it, that's all no man can say more and as we cannot agree, why, wo had better part. The prisoner was then ordered to be committed to prison, for want of sureties, and as he has a pension of 201. per annum, the wife was informed that means would be adopted by the parish to make him allow her half of it, towards her maintenance. Oxfobd, JuEY 10 Last Fridav afternoon, a party of five bargemen went into Purtmeadow and amused themselves with worrying the ducks and geese belonging to some of the inhabitants of Wolvercote, and also riding some of the horses which were grazing on the meadow. Two men from Woh ercOte, of the names of Robinson and Eeley, went down and remonstrated with them upon the impropriety of their conduct, when oue of the bargemen, Beesley, commenced a furious attack upon Robinson, and beat him in such a manner that he could scarcely reach home.

Thev afterwards went up to Cpper Wolvercote, and near the Crown public-hoilse, three of them, Beesley, Newman, and Medden, with lare sticks, fell upon the villagers who were by this time brought together. In the scuffle, Newman was knocked down bv one of the Wolvercote men, who knelt upon iiim in order to secure him, which Keesley perceiving, he immediately struck at the man and he fell qui'e senseless. This blow was followed by another, which was received by a young man who was looking on, of the name of Jabn Barrett, aged about 10 the blow levelled him with the ground, and he was taken up in almost a lifeless state, the blood gushing from his mouth. He was taken home; but by the advice of the medical person who was called to his aid, he was removed with Robinson to the Radcliffe Infirmary at Oxford, where he lingered till one o'clock on Sunday, morning, when he breathed his last. The three bargemen were taken Into custody, but upon arriving in Oxford, Beesley and Newman made their escape.

Med. den was lodged'in the county gaol, and on the following day, Saturday, fully committed for trial the approaching assizes. An inquest was hulden at the in. Crmary on Monday, upon Barrett, by Mr. Cecil, one of the county coroners, which commenced at eleven o'clock, aud continued with a short adjournment, till eleven at night, when a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against Thomas Beesley, William Newman, and Thomas Medden.

On Saturday evening, Beesley and Newman were at Kennington, about two miles from Oxford, in company with a brother of Newman's. While at the public house, Bossom and Keats, the two constables who had been dispatched in search of them, arrived at the house, and Beesley and Newman concealed themselves in an arbour, upon the constables walking into the yard, thev perceived the two making their way to the river, where a person waited with a punt. This man immediately rowed them over, and, although the constables were dose at their heels, the man refused to come back to fetch them over, and they consequently escaped. A reward of 50L has since been offered for their apprehension. Beesley has a wife and two children, and is about SO Newman is a single man about 2Q.

The distance being more than two miles, witness demanded but the captain refused to pay him more than 2s. and turned him out of doors. The captain replied that the complainant was exceedingly impertinent, and he therefore took him by the shoulders, and turned him out.

1 The coachman denied that he made use of any improper language. 1 Capt. Richards Am I to be interrupted by a vagabond like this Mr. Halls. Persons in his station, Capt.

Richards, are not expected to use the language of polite society, but I own I am somewhat surprised to hear yon, who profess to be a gentleman, apply the term vagabond to this man, merely for demanding what he claims to be his due. Such language is very unbecoming in the presence of a magistrate. Captain Richards Sir, I am a magistrate myself, and have been so for years. If you want to know who I am, read my biography, sir, and that will tell you. It is not for the paltry consideration of sixpence that I attend here.

I can lay my hand, sir, upon 10,0001. if I wish it. Come, tell roe what I have to pay, for I have no time to waste in such a place as this. Mr. Halls.

The coachman, I daresay, considers his time equallv as valuable as yours, and the sixpence which he claims may be of as much consequence to liim as the sum you have mentioned is to you. The complainant must be paid his full fare with costs. Well, what is the amount asked the captain. Eight shillings altogether," said the clerk. Eight shillings repeated the captain, "but no matter, here's half a sovereign, I Biippose that will do and may II be my portion if ever I am caught in these regions again.

The defendant was educated for the medical profession, and while attending the daughter of a person in humble life, fell in love with, and married her. His friends, indignant at his imprudent marriage, persuaded him to go to the East Indies, as surgeon in an ludiaman.

We are aware that Captain Dickenson was included in the public thank to the fleet that the Order of a Compauiou of the Bath was bestowed on him, -that he received honorary distinctions from the Emperor of Russia, and the King of France, with permission to wear them, and that no question was at that time raised touching the behaviour of the Genoa. Upon Captain Dickenson's return, in the Wasp sloop of war, to the Mediterranean, after having brought to England the Genoa, Sir Edward Codringtori sent him a second Russian order, that of St. Wladimlr, and which on his return to England he asked permission of the Admiralty to wear, to obtain the approval of which a certificate was required from Sir Edward.

This the admiral has declined, alleging as a reason for it that be was not satisfied with the conduct of Captain Dickenson. The Admiralty, on this intimation, instructed Sir Edward to shape his accusation against Captain Dickenson, and called upon the latter officer to prepare for a defence of himself in a court-martial, for which hois here waiting, and for which an order is now iu the hands of the Commander in Chief, Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stop, ford, who is to preside at it. We are not well versed in naval law, but we were under the impression that the peri'd elapsed since the transaction for which this officer ts to be arraigned, would exceed the limits, within which, by the articles of war, any complaints would be cognizable, and we now hear that Sir Edward Cod ring-ton refuses to prosecute.

lAternry Gazette. )n Saturday evening a numerous assemblage of watermen, both from below and above bridge, congregated at Guildhall, to draw for lots to entitle them to row for the prize wherry, and other prizes to be given, on Wednesday, by the Thames Navigation Committee at Richmond. The drawing took place in oue of the com. mittee's large rooms, in presence of many of tho gentlemen, when the following men were announced as bavins gained lots, and they will, on the day of the match, take their station as follows First heat. John Veal, white George dledknap, blue Edward Brown, scarlet aud William Bell, green.

Second heat, William Sprat, pink; Charles Campbell, yellow; William Prizeman, orange and John Wyld, purple. A man who had won a boat, or part tbtreof, was not entitled to draw and many who had come a great way to take their chance with the rest, were greatly disappointed. The distance to be rowed is from buoys moored off the Duke of Buccleiijfk'8, round a boat in Horse Reach, down through the centre arch of Richmond Bridge, and back to the Thames Navigation barge. There will le three heats, and the first man in the last heat will have a new boat, valued at 241., the second to 31., the third to 21., and the fourth to 11. The others will receive half a sovereign each.

Campbell is a great fa-Yourive, F7 1HUIIJ. iold, but that the defendants refused to take it. For the defence, evidence was given fan admission by the plaintiff of the rent due being 211. 5s. (the amount distrained for), and it was stated that, on the distress being put in, the plaintiff and bis wife, who were intoxicated, conducted themselves in a very violent manner, and that the wife threatened to destroy the whole of the property rather than allow it to be taken awav under the distress; that, after the inventory had been taken, the defendants were told that goo were being removed off the premises; and that it was subsequently ascertained that several bundles of clothes were removed.

One of the witnesses (the von of the broker, Davy) estimated the value of the goods at 27L or 201., but in a valuation made by an appraiser, those taken for sale by aurtion were put down at only 171. 5s. and it was stated by two witnesses, that before the sale, the goods were offered to the plaintiff at that sum, but that he declined taking them- This fact was, however, contradicted by one witness, whom the plaintiff's counsel called in reply. Lord Tenterden left it to the jury say whether the goods fkan were of a greater value than ought reasonably to nave Deen hen for the purpose of satisfying the distress. One of the complaints made by the plaintiff was, that other articles had been taken besides those specified in the inventory.

It was certainly the duty of brokers to specify in the inventory the whole of the articles distrained, and it was also their duty to take care not to make unreasonable or improper chances. In this case it appeared that there were several objectionable items in the account of expenses among them was the charge of 30s. to the two appraisers, and II. 16's. as paid for auction duty, though it was known that no duty was payable upon auctions made under a distress.

Tha jury ought therefore, in considering the question of value, to look at the conduct of the parties and if upon the whole they should be satisfied that the moveable articles were alone sufficient to answer the distress, and that there was no necessity for removing the fixtures, the plaintiff would be entitled to their verdict.
