SHERIFFS COURT.--SATummv. oiLcuan. v MU° LEY AND This was an action flrr a libel inserted in the Hamp shire Teloirvh.—The libel was " among the convicts transporteA to New South Wales by the Larkins, are two, distinguished front the rest lw the stations they Once Gilchrist, formerly an Ensign in the 101st regi,nent of Foot, and who was tried ut our Assizes with others, about thur years since, for the foul murder of lieutenant 11. in a duel at Newport, and George Stepoev, tbrmerly un Assistant Commissary in the Store Keeper's tit:it:min.:tit. They have both passed through seems of great moral turpitude, and arc at Intgtit banished front their country for the crime of tbr : 4ery. Gilchrist, it will be remembertAl, above al ludel to, was seenuti to Macquire who committed the actltul murder.' Mr. Brougham WO counael for the plaintiff, and Scrj?ant Copley fur the ticienJant Th e ad e nee wa.s, that there were two prisoners on board the Larkius, who hu.lk,riven out their names as Gilchrist Era Stepney, anll that upon discovering their rnl.uake, the deeJulants hat circulated an extensive ap:ology in their paper. The Jury tliuud a verdict fur the plaintiff, damages 5001. it is understood in the best informed circles, that the financial measures for the current year are pretty nearly determined on. The Chancellor of the Exchequer does not iutcbd to fund any exchequer 'AL, much less take a Joan. The whole expenditure, it h expected, will not exzeed 58,000,09 a, and this will be effected principally by a reduction of the army to its final peace establish udti by the waving of interest which will ba made by reducing the 3 and 4 per cents. The amount of revenue (including every thing) is estimated at 32,000,000, leaving un apparent deficit between receipt and expenditure et' six ; but it mast al.vays be recol lected, that out of the expenditure nearly 16,000,000 will be paid to the Commisioners for the reduction of the debt ; anti the only doubt is, whether six of these should nut be applied to balance the account between expenditure and revenue, leaving the remaining 10,000,000, with the accumulation of interest, to the reduction of the debt.—Ei&ishman. The following is an etttract of a letter from Paris, (Wed the 12th inst :—" I formerly mentioned to you, that at the conclusion of a very remarkable speech de livered by the Abbe de Montesquieu hi the Chamber of Peers, during the discussion of the law on the journals, the Dukc de Fits James, as well as . MM. Jules de Polignae and tie Chateaubriand had renounced their right of speaking against the project then bethre the Chamber. I mentioned to you likewise, that the Duke ale Fitz James had read his speech to the coterie of the Duchess de Duras, where all the leaders of the ultra- Royalist party had assemled. Yesterday the speech of this Peer was printed. It is not sold, but distributed with a prothsion truly extraordinary. It is a productions° strange and to outrageous, that we are assured the King has justly testiiiel his indignation at it, and has forltid den its author to appear IA Court. This punishment ap pears just :n ;he eyes of most people of sense. They see with indignation a Peen& France publishing hisopinions unddistributing copies of them by thousands, while these opinions tend to excite the subject against the sovereign. I shall confine myself to the quotation of the single passage which concludes the speech of the Due de Fitz James, and from it your readers may form their judg. meat of the spirit of the whole : " I think it would not be unreasonable, after the numerous calamities which have pressed upon the peo ple during the last year, for the Chambers to demand some explanations on the means which had been taken to prevent their recurrence. The harvert of lust year was abundant, and yet nothing announces a propor tional diminution in the price of subsistence. The people do not see that their frightall misery is owing to the favour granted to the insatiable cupidity of the cultivators, and to the monopoly of avaricious men, who enrich themselves by making them die of famine. Do the people attribute the scarcity to the King,' said a Nlinister to us. They ought not, doubtless; and yet I have seen individuals a little struck at the perseverance with which certain agents, come from I know not when.., have persisted in saying, that the King, and the ilftwes, were the persons who sent our corn to England. These agents have perpetually attended the marse.s, and remain unpunishel. Again, I repeat it, all classes of society are in distress ; it is time to look out for u reaed ) to the frightful evil which devours us —we maxi not rerfron on a aecold ar ye Every where our horizon is covered with elauds which portend a storm : one might say, that from the height of his rock, the man of air misfortunes had given the frightful signal, and th.tt at hi,. voivc, ids agents had be gun to rat: in e%ectition the internal prt!iect avowed by one if them in a corn Ilich we must give credit, ' , ince we Love it rrout the Minister of Police (alluaittg to the letter t)t* NlA.ctie St. J eaki • All the world must still: r, that tt!l the world ruav finite a;ain.: IVrett.ll::S..

ItoYAL HUNT.—On Monday morning, about ten o'clock, a fine deer was turuea out near Slough, attend. ed by a numerous field of Gentlemen Sportsmen. The deer chewed great sport, takin ,, across the enclosures towards Stoke, Dritmore-hill, and lledsor, taking down the hill towards Cookhatn, where he c rossed the Thames. By this time very few sportsmen were up ; he thentook towards Maidenhead, where he crossed the Thames a second time, into Buckinghamshire. The deer was taken by Dancey Common, near Eton, after a run of near three hears. The principal amusement of Prince Leopold, since his arrival at Came, is shooting, accompanied by Baron Ilardenbroke and Sir Robert Gardiner, or riding on the neighbouring hills. A letter from Cassel states, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge had arrived in that city, and dined with the Lanagrave Frederick on the 2 14.1% ult. The account adds, that his Royal Highness's visit was likely to last until new year's day, and that the pur pose of it was no longer a secret. The Committee ihr the Relief of Distressed Seamen have given notice, that any persons who may be sent, or may come to London after this day, soliciting relief, will be returned to their respective parishes. It is but right that every town should bear the) expenses of its own distressed poor, of which the metropolis has already afForded a splendid example. A public meeting has been held at Quebec, to take into consideration the proposed duty on timber imported from North America into England. A Committee of eight gentlemen has been appointed to draw up a me morial to Government against the measure, stating that it would be the ruin of the British Colonies of North America _ • A morning paper of Saturday says—" Another small defaulter has taken his flight. Mr. W. B. Ruddick, Chief Clerk under the Trea•urer of the Ordnance, has absented himself, and he is reported to be. deficient up wards of 15,0001. exclusive of about 6,0001. for pro prty tax, which came into his hands as the collector.— He had given security, but owing to his having been suspended upon Mr. Hunt's delinquency, and afterwards restored, his bondsmen detour, alleging, that theyshould have been called upon to react , / their btnals When he was permitted to resume his duty." On inquiry we learn that the affair alto alluded to is still under in vestigation, and that it is supposed Mr. Ruddick's, de ficiency will be tbund to have arriscn from Mr. Hunt's defalcation in 1810.— hoes. A letter from ftamsgate, dated January 12, says : The wife of a Mr. Smith, a carpenter in an extensive business here, after parting with her husband this morning, his concerns calling him to town, was found by the servant, between nine and ten o'clock, extended on the kitchen floor, having, by her weight, broken the garter by which she had suspended herself, with the aid of a chair, during the short period the servant was absent, takiug the children to school. Every possible method was resorted to in vain, •to re-animate the lifeless corpse. She has left a fine family of four young children to deplore her loss. Since her last confinement, she has been observed to be subject to lowness of spirits, but not to the extent of causing any apprehensions of such a ealmuity ; otherwise the respectable tinnily to which she is related would have guarded, if possible, against so deplorable an event. A letter from Dover, of the 16th inst says—" The late strong gales having thrown up an immense bar at the mouth of this port, have rendered it impracticable finlany vessel to get out of the harbour this day ; and,. under these circumstances his Majesty's packets for both Ostend and Calais, have been unable to put to sea. By accounts from Ramsgate we learn, that the Lord Duncan packet, with the mail from Calais of the 13th inst. which sailed from this port on Thursday last at 5 a.m. experienced a very heavy gale of wind soon after being at sea, which she weathered, and arrived off Calais, but found it impossible to have any communi cation with the shore. At five p.m. signals were made from Red Fort, lk:a not to attempt the harbour, and it was not possible to have any other i communication with the shore ; it was then blowing hard, the packet was obliged to leave the coast, and knowing there was so much bar before Dover harbour, the commander jndged best to run for Itamsgate harbour, which he entered in safety early this morning. We hear of nothing what ever coming from Calais." Last night about halt' past 8 o'clock; the servant of Mr. (humane' , (navy agent), in Norfolk -street, was alarmed by a noise at the doot. He opened it, and fitund a gentleman leaning against it, who:n he sup posetl, from his reeling manner, to be intoxicated : but on stepping forward to remove him, he trod in a stream of blood, which had flowed from the stranger ; on ex amination he appeared to be mortally wounded, having shot himself through the head with a bullet from u horse-pisnd. He died immediately. 11r. Ononaney was not at home, but on looking at stone papecs in the pocket of the deceased, it was t:iscovered that he was a naval officer, who had formerly transacted business with Mr. Ommatrey. ,1 prospectus has been published of a loan on behalf oldie Prussian Goverunimt, to be openol in this coun try. The house of Rothschild appears to be eni,mged in it. The sum proros;:l to be raised is threo JAN. 19 Waterloo-place is finished, and the houses almost all let. That on the western angle, nearly destroyed by fire many months ago, is now in a habitable condition ; they talk of devoting it to a Parliamentary club. The Military club-house is complete in all its exterior ar• rangements : the great room will be sixty feet in length. The beautiful pile opposite, to be called Warren's-hotel, is nearly finished. Every house and tenement in St. James's Market will shortly disappear. Only four houses remain between Pall Mall and Picca dilly. The subterranean passages underneath the mar ket.are all removed, and the paviours are filling up and paving the great street. The foot-path to Jermya Street is finished. The only shop which stands in the whole district, is the one occupied by Leader, the butcher. Report states that the Military club-house will be ready for opening in April. The new market occupies a very confined space, with two outlets into the Haymarket. It extends from Norris Street to Jer. myn Street. In Piccadilly, the Circus is ping on ra pidly ; the columns of stone and the lonic capitals have a very pleasing effect. One of the new buildings will be a national library, a most extensive eanern.
