SIR GEORGE RALPH COLLIER, K. C. B. Mf'LANCIII)i, V ST'CIOK. — A painful sensation was exoite^ at tile t42111 of the town Friday, in consequence of rumour which obtained circu- lation, that ) naval officer of high rank had put a i,te period to his existence. H e regret to state, that on inquiry we fouiul this rumour was not without foundation, and that the unfortunate individual who had <iius fallen by his own hand was Sir ■George Ralph Collier, K. C. B. a Captain in the lloyal avy. This gallant officer, it appears, has been for some time residing at Gordon's Hotel, in Albemarle-street, and during that period was observed to be considerably depressed in -spirit. On Tuesday he called at the Admiralty, but there was nothing in his manners at that time which indicated an aberration, of intellect.—On the same day he called atthe United Service Club House, in Regent-street, of which heis a memher and here he shewed strong symptoms of irrita- tion, in consequence or some severe strictures upon his conduct,which he said were containedi:1 J anus'a Sac at ilisiorg. On his return to Gordon's in the evening, the uneasiness of his mind became more apparent, and now being visited by his bro- ther, who is a highly respectable navy agent. conducting his business in Brick-court. Temple, that gentleman prevailed upon him to accompany him to his own house in Soho-square, where he used every argument in his power to soothe his agitation. These arguments seem to have had the desired effect, and the unhappy gentleman re- tired to rest in a state of mind comparatively easy. Y esterday morning, however, his feelings were again excited to a state of momentary phrenzy, and while labouring under this paroxysm lie seized a pistol, and in a moment deprived himself of lile. His body was discovered, wel- tering in blood, aiinost immediately afterwards, but ail surgical aid proved ineffectual. It is ex- pected that ail inquest will be held on the body in the course of this (by, when, we understand, evidence will be adduced to shew most clearly that the unfortunate officer had for some time laboured under a state of nervous irritability, which rendered his conduct a subject of general remark, The deceased was the son of Admiral' Collier, and was related to the family of Gen. Gwy-nne, a favourite Equerry to his late Majesty. He has a half brother, who is now hidingan official situation in the Isle of France. He was himself raised to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy on the 30th of June, in the year 179d, and was created a Baronet in the year lSlL He distin- guished himself by his meritorious services on many important occasions, particularly by his perseverance and bravery when in command of the Victor, in lSOl, he captured the Heche; sub- sequently in the assistance which he aftbrded the British troops under the command of Sir John Moore, on the coast of Spain, duiing the war in the Peninsula. Since the peace his activity in suppressing the traifxc in slaves on the coasr of Africa, has obtainel for him the wannest com- mendations of his Majesty's Government. He was at ail times esteemed as a zealous and g llant olfic,lr -alike an honour to his country, and an ornament of society. In private life lie was un versaliy esteemed, and his prompt benevolence will long live in the memories of those, who, in the hour of need, have partaken of lii-; bounty.— Since writing the above, we have been Informed, that during the last three monthts the conduct of if George Collier has excited the alarm of his friends. The constant theme of his observations was the charge made against him in Mr. James's II work. His mind natiiiaUy sensitive, could not be diverted from this subject, and at the very mo- ment his friends were considering- on the best jiioUe of placing him antler temporary eoeicion, he tv.,i a vicVi'is io those tVeiings, which a constitu- tion. aLca i.v broken in the service of lus country, tiuiL-rod insupportable.

SHREWSBURY ASSIZES. NISI rim s. IMPORTANT TO BANKERS. LLOYD & ANOTHER V. ROWLAND & ANOTHER. THE plaintiffs, W. Lloyd, and Richard Myd- dleton Lloyd, are bankers at Wrexham, and the defendants, Edward Lloyd Rowland, and Dyvie Robertson, the latter an eminent wine-merchant residing in Bedford-square London, were for- merly partners in an extensive iron concern car- ried on near Ruabon. in the same neighbourhood. The iron trade had been carried on for some time by Mr. Rowland himself, but in 1813, Mr. Ro- ber'sen. who was connected by marriage, entered into partnership with him. The management was entirely left to the former, it appearing from the evidence of the chief clerk, Mr. J. Piggott, that though Mr. Robertson had a country seat in the neighbourhood, which he c .me to in the summer, and occasionally visited the works, he never gave any directions excepting once, when Mr. Rowland was from home, on which oceitsiori the witness applied to him for authority to work another furnace that was erected, and which au- ee thorily he gave him. Large advances were made by Mr. Robertson to the concern until they amounted to above £ '20,000, without the return of a single farthing lie then thought it time to stop his hand and put an end to so unprofitable a speculation. The partnership was accordingly dissolved from Midsummer, 1820, by a foimal deed dated August 7 in the same year. During the continuance of this partnership their banking account was kept at the plaintiff's, to whom there was a considerable balance due, and which at the of partnership amounted to up- wards for which sum and interest the present action was brought, at fi;st against the two defendants, but Mr. Rowland having iu 1823, become a bankrupt and obtained his certificate, was continued only against Mr. Robert on, and a nolle prosequi entered with respect to Mr. Row- land, who thereby was enabled to be a witness. In behalf of Mr. Robertson it was contended that he was not liable, inasmuch as the plaintiffs, subsequent to the dissolution, took Air. Rowland as their debtor, and thereby discharged him from any liability, it being, as Mr. Campbell said, a clear principle of law, that where two joint debt- ors owe a sum of money, it the creditor elects one ors owe a sum of money, it the creditor elects one of the two, and deals with him as such, he there- by exonerates the other in support of which he quoted several cases, and, among ohers, Evans v. Drumniond—Lee i'.White, both in Espinasse's reports Bad ford v. Dean, Rondo r. Dicas, Slack v. Anthony, Drake v. Eitchell, &c. from Barne- wall and Alderson, and from Maule andSelwyn; and one from Strange, p. 1027. In proof that in this case the plaintiffs had so exonerated Mr. Robertson, it was proved, that at the time of the dissolution in 1820, the debts owing by the concern, with the exception of what was due from it to Mr. Robertson himself, did not amount to cc£ IO,OOO-that the effects belong- ing to the concern were then worii upwards of £ 20,000—that Mr. Rowland was left in posses- sion of ttieiii-tliat he was to be the liquidating partner—was to receive all and pay ail—that in November, TS20, he had another partner of the name of Homfray, with whom, in January, 1821, the plaintiffs opened an account, and to whom, between that time and its being closed in July, 1S23, they had advanced £ '21,200 15s. 3d.—that on the J3th February, 1821, the plaintiffs applied by letter to Mr. Rowland respecting the balance due on the former partnership account, and some other transactions of Mr. Rowland's, stating that, they acceded to his wish of paying the same otl by instalments, he to give them his promissory notes for the amount, payable at 6, i, and 2.t. months with mtcrest, and a freehold seemly to cover the whole amount until the same were paid-that in June, 1821, Mr. Rowland gave' the plaintiffs a mortgage of Aberfair farm, with vari- ous messuages and lands, iron furnaces, and all the works and utensils used therein, to secure to them the sum », which sum, as appeared by the mortgage itself, included the balance due from Rowland and Robertson to the plaintiffs.— Having obtained the mortgage, they very kindly, as was proved, by Mr. Rowland, waived the ne- cessity of having the promissory notes. It was further contended by Mr. Campbell, for Mr. Robertson, that he was completely exone- rated on another ground,—that of usury- a ground to which his client was sorry to have re- course, and would not have recourse to, but. from the unhandsome conduct of the plaintiffs.—Tlvjy knew of the dissolution, they obtained the secu- rity they required, thereby accepting Mr. Row- land only as their debtor, when, if they had not chosen so to do, Mr. Robertson could have ob- tained a security from Mr. Rowland for the money upon some tithes, and would have done so, but that he found they had taken the mortgage, which was not only upon the freehold, but also upon all the machinery, utensils. &e. which be- longed to Mr. Rowland and Mr. Robertson, and which were afterwards used bv Mr. Rowland and his succeeding- partner, Mr. Homfiay, to whom the plaintiffs continued to make fresh advances I and it was not until March, 1,4123, that the de- fendant had any idea that he should be called upon by the plaintiff, who, he considered, had exonerated him but on the 8th of that month they applied to him by letter for the money.— The usury, which Mr. Campbell said tainted the whole transaction, he should clearly shew and from the accounts of the bank it appeared that tney charged 5 per cent. interest for money advanced, and i USs.) per cent. commission, ex- clusive of stamps, postage, and any other inci- dental expenses—-that during the partnership'of Rowland and Robertson, viz. from 1813, to Au- gust, 1820, the plaintiffs had made in their ac- counts thirteen rests or balances-the first four rests every three months, three others in the course of a year, others twice a vear, and one at the distance ol ten or eleven months—that when- ever these rests or balances were made, the in- terest, commission, stamps, and postage were added to the principal, an;) the balance so made carried forward and placed at the head of the next account, and, in addition to the interest, stamps, and postage on such next account a fresh com- mission of i per cent. was charged therein, not only on all new advances that might have been made, but also on the old or dead balance on which they had previously had a commission, thus taking more than by law they were entitled to. In one of the statements it appeared, that the balance brought forward was .cl-!Sl that between that and the next balance there was only a period of about three months, during which the new advances amounted to t733 5s. and yet, in addition to interest, stamps, postage, and com- mission on the new advances of £ 733 as. they also charged commission on the old balance of £.j.Hi.-rI'h¡s, and indeed the whole transaction, Mr. Campbell said, was gross usury, and inde- pendent of any thing else, would entitle his client to a verdict. On the part of the plaintiffs, Mr. Taunton con- tended that bankers were not bound down to the strict interest, but were entitled to a fair remuner- ation for risk and trouble; they could not be ex- pected to keep houses, clerks, Wks, &c. for the accommodation of individuals, without compen- sation for so doing and to prove that the prac- tice of charging a commission on the old balance was the usual practice of bankers, he called Mr. Sankey, of Denbigh, wI 10 stated that they ba- lanced their accounts half-yearly, and that, on so balancing them they always charged commission on the dead balance brought forward, as well as on the new advances. If a balance brought for- on the new advances. If a balance brought for- ward was £ 5000, and the new transactions only £ 5, in charging commission they should not only do so on the £ 5, but also on the £ 5000, and the commission he considered to be for the trouble of doing business and keeping accounts. Baron Garrow then put a case to Mr. Sankey, that, supposing there was a balance of £ 15,000, for which they had a mortgage security, and that, during the uaxt half-year, the new transac- tions were should they charge commission on the .£i5, or on the old balance of t 1.5,000 as well ? to which he replied, they should charge it oil tile NNilole. Baron Garrow, in summing up, after explain- ing to the Jury the nature of the action, &c. told them it involved two questions one of law only, and another mixed up of law and fact. The question upon the first was, whether after the dis- solution of partnership between Mr. Rowland and Mr. Robertson, such a state of things tool; place as that Mr. Robertson was discharged from his previous liability to the plaintiffs and this being a mere question of law, upon which, .if he gave his opinion, it could hardly be expected that the parties in an important case like this would feel themselves bound by it, hut would take the opinion of the Court above, he .should if it was found necessary, put it in the proper course for that purpose. The other question involved mat- ter of law and fact. H¡) h()ulcl exp!ai:i to them ihe law upon the subject, and it would be for them to say whether, such being the law, the cir- cumstances of the case as shpw!! in evidence proved the present to come \v¡U:LI that law, .so as to constitute an usurious contlnet ? jHis Lordship havingexplained the law, extracted from the evi- dence those parts which bore upon the point in question, told the Jury that bankers were entitled to a fair commission, not for houses, books, and clerks they kept, but for the risk, trouble, and expense they were at in trans.> cling the business for which such commission was charged; and he left it to the Jury to form their own opinion, whe- ther the present was an usurious transaction or not ? If they were of opinion it was, they would find a verdict for the defendant. The jury, which was special, after consulting a few minutes, said they considered it an usurious transaction, and fouad a Verdict for the defendant. --t0r-

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER, MARCH 2i. CROWN SIDE. Before Mr, Baron Hullock. JOHN F.YJIAN, aged :20, was indicted for having on the 26th of September last, in the Boiough of Leicester, feloniously and unlawfully uttered, knowing the same to be forged, a certain coun- terfeit note, purporting to be a note of the Bank ofEngland, of the value of Five Pounds. Mr.Sergeant Vunghan stated the case to the jury. The prisoner is an Irishman, and he and his com- panion Randall, ^exhibibited themselves as-prize fighters, or pugilists, in different parts of the coun- ty of Leicester. -.I,isoftil court- Anthohy Heutheote examined by Mr. Reader.— I keep a public-house at Earl Shilton. The pri- soner flndRandall came to my house,and had some ale and cold meat. Their reckoning was 3s. 2d. Prisoner asked me to change a £ 5. bill I did not know what to think of it. They said they had no money. 1 took the note, after having sent it by Bagington, to Mr.Prigmore's. Mr. Prigmore said it might be a good one. I put it into a drawer, which contained another £ 5. note that by itself, because I had doubts about it. I gave the five pound note to Mr. Thacker, he put'inv mnne upon it. and then crossed it out. (told mm to cross it out. I should know the note a fain This is the note I gave to Mr Thacker. ° Cross-examinedby Mr. Reader.— I.({'hi not put any mark upon the note, when I sent it by Bab ington. Randall did not give me the note. I did not mark the note when it was brought back by Babington to ask Mr. Prigmore whether it n was a good note. Joseph Babington examined.- I was ostler to Mr. Heathcote in September last. I carried the note to Mr. Prigmore and I am sure that is the same note. It was never out of my sight. S. Thacker exami)ted.-I remember receiving a £ 5 note from Mr. Heathcote. I wrote his name on it. That is the note. I crossed Mr. Heath- cote's name out, because he wished it. Ann Metcaif examined.—I lived atthe Crown and Magpie. The prisoner came to my house the Tuesday before the races. Randall was with 1 him. They slept in the same bed. Randall said he would pay me if I could change a live pound bank of England note. I did not like it. but Randall said they were clothmen, and they had no country notes. I desired them to back it Randall did so. That is the note. I gave all the change to Randall except a pound. Prisoner was present. My husband gave theiri the remain- der of the change in the morning. Randall said we are going to Melton. I left them and they went away. I gtvt,, the note to John Jones to take it to the Bank to see whether it was a good one. I did not see Fagan again till he came back on the same night. Randall was not with liiiii. Itad sent Oakley after him, and lie came to speak to Oakley. Cross-examined.—Randall put his name upon the note without hesitation. Fagan came back the same evening. He was not in custody, j put the note into a drawer which was kept locked. lie e.rllmincd.-Randall had marked his name upon the note before I put it into the drawer. John Jolics ei,timiiied.-I received a five pound note fioiti Mrs. Metcalf. The banker's clerk said it was a very bad one. William Oakley examined.—I live in Leices- ter. I went in pursuit of Fagan and Randall and found them at Hinckley. I told them they had passed a bad fi ve pound note. Randal Üd, Sure you gave it me, Fagan. Fagan said you know 1 had it from the farmer at St. Albans for reaping; his name is on the back of it. They gaye me another five pound note, which-was a good one. They said they were going 10 act upon the stage. Randal desired me to send the bad note to Walsall. I gave them a note to certify they had paid the £ 5. 1 saw Fag-aii again at Leicester the same night, and I told him he must not go till Mr Metcaif came back. He said he had no money, and I told Mrs. Metcalf to let him have what he wanted, and he seetned contented to stop. Cross-examined—I was not with them altoge- ther at Hinckly more than half an hour. Fagan did not put his name to the note. Benjamin Paine examined.—I am constable at Atherstone. One of my men apprehended the prisoner. I found on him four sovereigns and some silver. Mr. Burbridge, Town Clerk of Leicester, exa- mined—the witness. This paper contains his an- swers to my questions. Ci-oss-cxa,inined- I put a great many questions to the prisoner. He did not sign the examina- tion. Mr. Phillips objected to the examination being put in as evidence. After a few observations on the part of Mr. Sergeant Vaughan and Mr Reader, Baron Hullock said I his is a very mon°rel sort of examination, and such as ought not to be adopted. I have no notion of a man being in- terrogated as to his guilt. If accused persons Z, are to be examined at all, they ought to be ad- vised not to answer unless they think proper, and ought always to be told not to emulate them- selves. I think it is a sort of paper I ought to receive." Mr. Burbridgesaid the prisoner w.:safterwards examined before the Magistrates, but he had no copy of that examination. Mr. nai-on Ilitllocfc-l cannot receive this paper then, most certainly. 1 Mr. John Lee examined—I am inspector of Bank-notes for the Bank of England. These notes are throughout forged notes, paper and all. The signatures are not those of the signing clerks. The two notes are from the same plate. Mr. Baron liidlock summed up the evidence with great clearness and impartiality. There were three circumstances, lie said, upon which the Jury must be satisfied. First, that Ihe note was a forged r.ote. Secondly, that the prisoner uttered it. And thirdly, that he uttered it know- ing it to be forged, in a cease so highly penal, if they entertained any doubts, they ought most certainly to give the rti,z,,tiei- the benefit of those e' doubts. The fact of his returning to Leicester and staying there when he was told that the note was a bad one, was a circumstance much in fa- vour of the piisoner, It is not probable that a II. an would have acted thus under such circum- stances, had he kr.own that.he had uttered a for- ged note. He might easily have made his escape a. d by o dOing he had at least a chance Of elud- ing justice. It was for the J ury to sa y whether uisder an the circumstances, the prisoner was or was ,~ot guilty-. After the Jury had consulted fotsnme time in I ijs« box, his Lordship informed thrift that ihey had better retire, if- they could not agree upon • heir verdict. The July then left the Court, and returned in about fifteen' minutes, finding a ver- dict. of Guilt/ It is unde; stood that Fagan is not to suffer daatii. He is said to be the dape of Randall, who has made his escape. e u I' v lio

BUSINESS OF*PARLIAMENT. Mr. Peel Tuesday night moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue the Alien Act Bill.—: The Right Hon. Secretary having explained the provisions of the Bil, and staled that it was in- tended to exempt from i!s operation those who have resided seven years in this country, defend.- ed the measure by its conformity to ancient usage which he proved by a reference to the reigns of lienry thr- Fourth, Elizabeth, and all the Princes of. the House of Stuart; by the mildness of its I operation, to which he said a. fact, that in ten years only seventeen persons had been expelled by its authority, bon, sufficient testimony and, lastly, by the security which the House enjoyed in its own vigilant superintendance, that the powers conferred by the Actshouldnot be abused. Mr. llvbhouse opposed the motion in a speech -1 (,■? great length, in the course of which lie declared his wish that foreigners might be permitted to use this eounMy as the place of their conspiracies against their.owa Government; and argued that th. Rin ought to be suffered to expire, as an in- timation to the despots of the feelings excited in this country by their conduct. Mr. IJobhouse taunted 31, Wj/nn with inconsistency, in voting now for a measure which he had strenuously op- posed in and quoted ridiculous phrase as- cribed to the Right Hon. Gentleman upon that occasion, viz. That he won Id oppose the Bill with physical fosce aiui bodily resistance.. In conclusion, Mr. liobhiiuse moved a series of reso- lutions to the ell'.ii't that the A .ieu Act was a" dis- grace to tile ani" h badge, of ser- vility connecting tin; British Government with the league impiously miscalled the Holy Alliance." Mr. WI/un explained the sense in which he had- used the phrase imputed to him, as diHerein from whMtb" Men. Member had assumed. He also tried to reconcile Tiis confficting votes. I SirJotites :Uac>n>o,Ji opposed the motion in an admirable speech. He treated the act through, out as in vesting! he executive with absolute power in respect to those who were the objects of it and answered all the argimerits, drawn fioro the milduess with which this power had been exer- cised, by a reference to riie admitted truth, that despotism was ever most dangerous when it was most gentle. Mr. W. Lamb deprecated the use of the harsh epithets which had been applied to the (Joiuiuen- tal Monarchs. Lord John Russell animadverted, with some sharpness, upon the excessive delicacy of the last Speaker. His Lordship opposed the motion, as did Mr. C. Hutchinson (whose language was ex- tremely violt,i) t), L'Ill.. Warre, and Lord Allhorpe. Mr. Peel replied shortly, contenting himself with convicting Mr. liobhou.se of some Irish figures of style and the Resolutions were rejec;ed by a majority of 131 to 70. A second debate followed upon the original mo- tion in the course of which Mr. Hume, having urged Mr. Canning with whimsical peitinacity, obtained from him an expression of his hope that at a future day, the act might be suflered to expire. A second division took place on the original motion, which was carried by a majoiity of 129 to ö9. Thursday night, a long discussion upon the subject, of Irish Tithes took place in the House of Lords, without, however, leading to any material result, the debate having arisen upon thepresen- tation of a petition by the Earl of Kingston. In the House of Commons, after a consioerable quantity of miscellaneous and not very interesting business had been disposed of, Sir James Macintosh withdrew his motion upon the subject of our rela- tion with South America. Hts said the ex- planation of Ministers had been satisfactory and because he was unwilling to let it go to Europe that any one in this country distrusted these ex- planations. He added, that he had heard, from good authority, that a great pow er on the continent had declined taking any part in the proposed Con- gress on South American aflali-s. After some other business hadfoeeii disposed oi, Sir J. NeirporC moved for the appointment of the Commission to inquire into the best-mode of educat- ing the poor in Ireland. The proposition was warmly supported by Mr, Gouiburu, Mr.J. Smith, ilir.Pect, and Mr. B)-ott,n- lom, who ail agreed in the necessity, of proceeding upon a basis of the most perfect liberality, uniting the children of Catholics and Protestants promis- cuously in the same course of education. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The House then went into a Committee upon the Game Laws' Amendment bill, and two of the I clauses were adopted, with some modifications. THE TENTH HussARs.-Communications havè taken place between his Royal Highness the Duke of York and the military authorities in Ire- land, in connexion with the late published letter of Mr Battier. Last evening, despatches reach- ed the hands of Lord Combermere on the subject, and no doubt exists but that such steps are in course of adoption as will redeem the honour of the army, so far as it could have been compro- mised by the folly of a few unthinking individu- als.-Dit,bliit Star, 18th March. THE TENTH HussARs.-The Tenth leave Dub- lin garrison, we believe, immediately. They will be ordered into the interior. It is the in- tention of his Royal Highness the Duke of York to require a certain number of the officers of this regiment to sell out, or exchange into other repiments and the new appointments into the 10th are to be immediately resulting from his Royal Highness.—Dublin Star, March 19,

Two of them, indeed were strictly searched by the Grepk cruisers near Molo, but were suffered to proceed. Strict orders were given to all the Greek vessels to retrain from every kind of violence, and even unfriendly con- duct towards French and other Euro- pean vessels. This order, issued by the G. eek Admiralty, is caused by the nu- merous complaints made to it, by which it was engaged In various embarrassments which it wishes to avoid for the future.— It has been intimated to the privateers, 'hat no protection will be in any case af- forded them, but that they will be left to 'heir fate, if they are guilty of the slight- est violation of-neulrality towards Euro- pean vessels.

In Macedonia all was tranquil. In the peninsula of Cassandra, where some Greek detachments had landed against whom troops were sent, nothing of consequence had occurred, as the Greeks soon re-embarked. Some build- ings they had made on the east coast of Thessaly were of more consequence; they distributed great quantities of arms and ammunition among the inhabitants, iu whom much reliaiit-e seems to be placed in the offensive operations to be under- taken against Thessaly in the spring.— Tlle..e operations, however, willprohably he deferred till PalrltS and Lepallto have fall, n.
