OF all Diseases incident to Mankind, those of the Nervous Kind are the most ' complicated and difficult to cure. A volume would not be sufficient to point out their various appearances. They imitate almost every disease; and are seldom alike iu two different per- sons, or even in the same person at different times — Proteus like, tbey are continually changing shape-, and upon every fresh attack, the patient thinks he feels symp- toms which henever experienced before. N'nrdo they only affect the body, the mind likewise suffers, and is often thereby reudered extremely weak and peevish.— The low spirits, tiiuoroustiess, melancholy, and fickleness of temper, which generally attend nervous disorders, induce many to believe that they are entirely diseases of the mind; but this change of temper is rather a conse- quence than a cause of nervous diseases. The CORDIAL BALM of GILEALD is decidedly tha most elegant and efficacious Medicine ever yet disco- vered for Nervous Diseases, and shattered Constitutions, Consumptions, Weakness of Sight or Memory, Hypo- chrondria, Tremblings of the Mind, Sexual Debility, Stomach and Bowel Complaints, and all other Diseases arising from a relaxed state of the Nervous system; which are too often brout lit ou by dissipation iu youth, aud the gross violation of those rules which prudcuce dictates for the preservation of health, and the laying a foundation for a long aud happy life, with a firm aud strong constitution.

Hawkstone Inn, Hawkstone Park, Shropshire, July 4,1816. AT a MEETING of GENTLEMEN, assembled at this Place, for the purpose of taking into consi- deration and of giving greater publicity to the Doctrines contained in the Theological Writings of the Honourable EMANUEL SWEDENBORG, which are intended for the Instruction and Benefit of all Sects and Parties of professing Christians: M r. JAMES MEREDITH, of Birmingham, in the Chair; it was unanimously resolved. That from a conviction of the great importance of those Doctrines, and of their tendency to promote the best interests of mankind, they be earnestly recommended to the devout perusal of all orders and degrees of Christians, on the following grounds 1st. As leading to Ihe true knowledge of God. Who and what he is, together with the mode ef his operation aud thus conducting the pious reader lo that pure and im- perplexed worship of his Creator, which is at once most profitable to himself, and most acceptable to its Divine Object. 2Jly.

Dispatches, dated ' the 3d ihst. we're on Monday received from Lord Exmouth, announcing that a Treaty of Peace had, on the preceding day, been concluded and signed with the Barbary Powers. Some short delay, i| seems, had been occasioned by ' « n atferap't to detain in slavery two Spaniards, who had been for gome time imprisoned on some cri- minal charge alleged against them; but they Were finally given Up at the requisition of Lord Exmouth, and had lieen received' ' on board the Queen Charlotte when the dispatches came away . The official details of Admiral Capellen, who commanded the Dutch squadron iu < he glorious j action at Algiers, describe in the highest terms of j panegyric the judgment, coolness,, and intrepidity dKp'ayed by Lord Exmouth, and the heroic spirit < vhi- oh - animated the officers and crews of the two nation. One part of these dispatches is important, as it shews that no further operations- are to be car- tied on against the Barbary States. Admiral Ca- pellen observes, that the Regencies of Tripoli and Tunis had already bound themselves to respect the rights of humanity, and in future wars to treat all prisoners of war according to the usages of Euro- pean natrons. The " Queen Charlotte, in the late battle, is repre- sented to have fired on both sides, without inter- mission, five hours and a half; the starboard side on the Mole- head, the larboard on the city and ship- ping, till she had scarcely a broadside of powder left. It was remarked that few of the enemy's pilots si rack our stops so low- as the lower deck ; so that the fire of our heaviest guns was uninterrupt- edly kept tip, and did three- fold more than usual execution. The Prometheus, which ship, during the principal part of the action, lay under the stern of the Queen Charlotte, and not more than forty yards from the shore, was only damaged in her rigging. The King of France is said to have written a let- I ter to Lord Exmouth, congratulating hi- ni upon the success of his i xpedition. An article i'aied Genoa, Sept. B, says—" We Jearo by the last accounts from Algiers, that the Dey cut olf, with his own hand, the heads of several of his subjects whom he accused of treason. Some of the Dry's principal officers abandoned their p ists and fled to the sea shore, but could not be taken on board by the English ships. They after- wards took refuge in the mountains. Two corps - of the Algerines are mentioned who did not do their ditty. Although the Dey experienced a severe check, he lost nothing of his spirit and pride, and his tit testation of the English is more deeply rooted. He still continues the idol of his people-." The intelligence circulated for some time rela- tive to the Insurgents in South America has either been wholly incorrect or grossly exaggerated. It has for the most part come in letters from the United States, which are anxious to represent the spirit of insurrection as decided and general through- out the whole of the Spanish Provinces. It is now A Morning Paper says—" We understand that 4 the Princess Charlotte isina wjry to fulfil the hopes df the nation." The marble statue of Bonaparte made by Canova, has been' sold by the French Government to the Priuce Regent, for the sum of 66,000 livres. A great number « f stallions and brood mares ' have been purchased here to be se- nt to Hanover, " which was stripped of nearly all its horses, during the occupation of that country by the French. A letter from Dover, dated last Sunday, says :— " Detachments of troops to join their regiments jn France, about 1,000 men, are expected in a few days bo embark from feence. The number of pas- sengers arriving from Prance, is hOw> considerably greater than the number g'oiftg from'hence. ™ 1 On Saturday, at two o'clock, was launched from the. Royal Dock- yard at Deptford, the Hero, rated at 74 guns. Viscount Melville, and the other Members of the Board of Admiralty, Admiral Sir Thomas Martin, the Comptroller of the Navy, and the " other Commissioners of that Board, attended in their respective ' barges, as did several persons of rank, and some thousands of spectators. This ship was built to supply the place in the navy of the former one of the same name, which was unfortunately wrecked in a dreadful Storm on the morning of Christmas- day, 1811, when returning from the Baltic, on the Haak Sand, off the Texel. Of up- wards of 500 persons then on board, only eight were washed oti shore alive from the wreck, and those instantly made prisoners of war. She was com- manded by Captain James Newman, who, with all his officers, perished The present ship is finished in a very excellent manner, and allowed by all con- noisseurs in naval architecture to be complete in every part. IMPROVEMENT.— East of London an iron bridge is to be made, forming a communication between the Essex and Kent Road. It is to be thrown from the end of New Gravel- lane to Rotherhithe, and to bC'of sufficient altitude to admit vessels to go under it. At - the Old Bailey, on Wednesday, Thomas Brock, James Pelham, and Michael Power, ( con- spirators) were indicted for th'e ci* itne ' of high treason, in feloniously and traitorously colouring base coin, in imitation of the current coin of the realm ; and also in another count, with procuring, aiding, and abetting Dennis Reardon, James Quin, and James Connelly, in counterfeiting the said coin. The Attorney General said, before the Court proceeded to the trial of the prisoners, it would be necessary that D. Reardon, J. Quin, and T. Con- nelly, should be called to the bar to receive his. Majesty's pardon for the crime of which they had been convicted, in order that they might be en abled to give evidence against the prisoners.— The prisonm- s were accordingly withdrawn, and' Reardon," Quin, aud Connelly brought forward; the Royal pardon was then read to them, and they withdrew.— The prisoners, Brock, Pelham, and Power, were then again placed at the Bar. The Attorney General stated the case for the prosecution, and entered, at great length, and with much eloquence as well as candour aud perspicuity^ into all theleadiug facts and circumstances relating to it; ( the particulars of which have already been repeatedly laid before the public;) and the whole of the evidence having been gone through, clearly bringing Ihe crime home to the prisoners, aud proving the act of entrapping Reardon and his companions into a participation therein, for the purpose of procuring a reward on their conviction, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty against the whole of them. The Lord Mayor, with a humane regard to the poor Irishmen, Reardon, Quin, aud Connelly, desired that for the present they should be taken care of in the gaol, until proper means should be devised for turning to their best advantage the money that had been subscribed for them. To the EDITOR of THE COLCHESTER GAZETTE. SIR— 1Through the medium of your Paper, I beg to expose a most outrageous breach of the protective regulations of the Police, in order that some neigh- bouring Magistrate may mark the offence, and if not punish the shameful neglect, prevent a recurrence of. the mischief. As I was passing through Nayland late on Monday nigh*. during a rain storm, which rendered it parti- cularly dark, the gig in which [ travelled was suddenly stopped, and myself precipitated with the greatest violence to thq ground. A person near to Ihe Spot, hearing vhe noise, rose from hii bed, turn! humanely came to my assistance. On examination, it proved that a w;^ water- course, which had passed through the streeti. of considerable breadth, and which had Jbceu guarded by posts, had been filled up, making the whole width of the street level, but that the posts were regaining, and literally stood in nearly the centre, of the hiyhwny. The horse had passed on the level road, over the late water- course, and the post had struck, tut the near, but the outer wheel, and had passct the axletree, where it stopped the carriage. ImrneiFTely opposite, a part of the old ro& dwas in- closed by boards, in consequence of repairing a. house, which narrowed the distance to the posts, and, in truth, proved a snare to throw travellers, unacquainted with the alteration, into that part of the road which had been levelled. I remointrated with the person who assisted me, aud he joined in the cruelty of such a neglect", and added, the pasts were to be taken up when the re- pairs were finished. That I am iilive 1o write this, I have no obligations to the Police of Nayland; and although no base or ma4ignant motives could actuate the offenders, the lives of men, however useless, are not to be the sport of either folly, ignorance, or inattention. Sir William Rowley, as holding a distinguished rank in that neighbourhood, is requested to inquire into aud punish by fine, or otherwise, this violation of the public security. Sept. 24, 1816. AN INHABITANT OF SUFFOLK. Very great inconvenience and temporary distress having been occasioned by the refusal of numbers in the retail trade to take the plain shillings and sixpences in common circulation, a great stagna- tion in all retail trades suddenly ensued, and the lower orders were disposed to commit disturbances in almost every market. This embarrassing and dangerous state of things being made known to the Lord Mayor, his Lordship took immediate mea- sures to preserve the peace of the City, by promptly communicating to the public, from the Mansion- House, a notice, of which the following is a copy : SILVER COIN. Take Notice, the Bank of England do not refuse any Shilling's or Sixpences, on account of their being plain, provided they are English. By order of the Lord Mayor, Saturday Morning. FRANCIS HOBLER. In consequence of the above notice, people as- sembled in crowds to take their silver to the Bank, for which they received Bank of England notes and tokens. The Bank took every thing not ascertained to be foreign currency. The day passed over in the City without the least tendency to tumult, al- stated, that it is only the Banks of the Rio de Plata I lhou8' h the Ballk wns beset by crowds' wllich ma7 thai are in insurrection.— Peru, Chili, Quito, Guy- be chiefly ascribtc' to lhe facility with which the - - 1 business was transacted, and which must have the effect of replacing matters on their former footing. In the afternoon the following fresh notice, was ana, New Mexico, and a part of Old Mexico, in- cluding the chief town, have remained obedient to the Spanish Viceroys. The Chiefs of the Insur- gents are in general Mulattoes, who get together a force composed of different nations, who were strong only till an army was led against them. Mu rillo deprived them of their principal fortress and sea- port, Carthagena. There and in Cumana, La Guayra, Santa Martha, and Guayaquil, tranquillity is established. Morillo had advanced to Santa Fe, Antioquia, and Moxias, possessing nearly the whole of Terra Firma, and able to detach a part of his army to act against Buenos Ayres. General Pezuela has obliged the Insurgents to retreat back to Rio de la Plata, where the Portuguese and Spa- nish troops united, were to attack them. In passing through Strasburg last week, after the revi. w of the Austrian contingent, the Duke of Wellington dined with the French General Du Bre ton, who defended Burgos in 1812 so resolutely, and prevented the British army from penetrating into the North of Spain. A statement has been received of the capture of a British vessel by a Spanish privateer, in a letter from the British Consulate Office, dated Cadiz, September 2d, received at Lloyd's, September 24; of which the following is an extract:—" I regret to have to acquaint you, for the information of the Committee, that on Saturday, the 1st instant, the British brig, Lady Warren, William Williams, Waster, in sixty- four days from Buenos Ayres, with a cargo of hides, wool, & c. was sent into this port by the Spanish Mistico privateer Feroz, Cap- tain Baeza, and detained without communication until yesterday afternoon, when they took from on board the passengers, Messrs. Lezica and Mr. John Facund Salas, owners of the cargo, and threw them into prison ; exacting from the Captain and the crew ( of which one has been severely wounded by the prize- master) their declarations, without our cognizance or intervention, taking from the Cap- tain his Register and Mediterranean pass, as well as other papers. Being still encharged with the • affairs of this Consulate, I have omitted no pains to liberate the vessel, cargo, and passengers, and to obtain adequate satisfaction, but 1 doubt much the complete success of my exertion^," A letter from Marseilles, dated the 11th instant, slates that business had taken, within the last fifteen days, a very favourable turn, particularly for Colonial produce; manufactured goods were also in brisk demand. The United States seem determirfed to become a great naval Power. Recent letters state, that they are building seventeen ships of the line and twenty- three frigates, besides twenty Steam- frigates, to serve as a kind of floating batteries to defend their harbours. It is said that 3,000 emigrants at New York have applied to the Consul there for a passage back again to Great Britain and Ireland, as they cannot find the means of, living in that country. ' i he, Archbishop of Naples has issued a mandate to his Clergy, containing a list of sins for which they are not to grant absolution, and which are specially reserved for his own recognizance.— Among these sins one is with regard to females, the~ exposure of their bosoms, or arms above the elbow, and with regard to males, the wearing, making, or vending of tight breeches. These sin- ners are not be absolved under two months' penance. The population of the Netherlands is estimated at 5,451,000 inhabitants. Among these are reckoned the 70,001) inhabitants in the countries united to the kingdom by virtue of the last Treaty of Paris. posted at the Bank and Mansion- House SILVER COIN. Bank of England, Sept. 21, IMS Take Notice, all Shillings and Sixpences, of the Coin of the Realm, whether plain or not, will continue to be exchanged al the Bank of England, as heretofore, till the issue of the New Silver Coinage, which will not take place before the mouth of February next. On Saturday night Ihe Lord Mayor visited all the markets in the metropolis, and represented to the different tradesmen the impropriety and injury at- tending the refusing the current silver, liis Lord- ship's activity, no doubt, prevented many dis- turbances, as many of the lower orders, in the course of the day, declared they would have provi- sion at night; if not by fair means, they would by foul. 1 he present pressure of the times, which occur from unavoidable circumstances, bear suffici- ently hard upon the mechanic, without having the additional inconvenience of his hard- earned pittance being refused in payment. The conduct of those who first created the alarm is highly reprehensible. The alarm raised on Saturday, by the refusal in several quarters to take plain shillings and six pences, has totally ceased. Shillings and sixpences are taken every where, indeed with more readiness than they were before the alarm prevailed. Con- siderable numbers of retail shopkeepers, from the remote parishes, attended at the Bank of England on Monday, to exchange their plain silver for Bank tokens and notes. From the great facility afforded by the Bank, they were immediately dismissed. At a meeting of the Magistrates for licensing ale- houses at Christchurch, Hants, on Monday se'n- night, they animadverted very strongly on the exorbitant price and improper quality of the beer sold at ale- housfes, under the controul of public brewers, and expressed their decided determination to enforce the. duty of ale- tasters in their district, and the penalties to which persons are liable on sale of bad liquors of any kind; apprising the inn- keepers that they would, at the day appointed for licensing their houses in the next year, provided any complaints were made, and sufficiently sub- stantiated, of the brewers of whom they rented their houses having sold them beer of bad or improper quality, grant to such innkeepers licences for houses of their own, so as to free them from the controul of such brewers, and emancipate them from their influence or interference; at the same time referring them to the case of the King versus Day bill, in which Lord Ellenborough held, that innkeepers weie not bound, though renting of a brewer, to vend his beer, if it was of a bad quality, or held in such cases to the covenants of any lease or agreement. Monday afternoon, the remains of Philip D'Au- vergne, Prince de Bouillon, Vice- Admiral of the Red, many years Commander in Chief on the Guernsey and Jersey station, ^ rg removed from Holmes's Hotel, Parliament- street, for interment in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster. He died after a short illness, on Wednesday se'nnight, in the eighty- first year of his age. Tuesday morning ontj of the Exeter and Ply- mouth coaches, heavily laden, in passing through Hammersmith, on its way out of town, came down with a tremendous crash, in consequence of the fore axle- tree breaking, A sailor, who was on the outside, had his arm broken, and was otherwise much lacerated ; one female was taken up in a senseless state, dreadfully bruised, if not actually killed. None of the other passengers were hurt. The coach bad previously ran foul of the Ham- mersmith turnpike. Considerable bustle and stir were excited last week in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, by up wards of 150 different families hating received cards of invitation to a splendid ball and supper, for lhe 26th, to have been given there by a gentleman well known in the commercial world, which after- wards proved to be a hoax. The Royal Artillery band at Woolwich was engaged for the occasion. Pastrycooks in that vicinity and town received orders; as did also tailors to make new liveries; tallow- chandlers, to furnish wax lights and co- loured lamps; tent- makers, to erect marquees and booths ; halters, to furuish dress hats; glovers, fruiterers, poulterers, with a variety of other trades- men. Some very scarce animals, little known in this country, have been brought over by the Baring East Indiaman, from New South Wales. A serpent, seven feet long, and 22 inches round the body, was killed a few days ago by a servant of Mr. Jones, at Trehan, in the Isle of Anglesea. When discovered by the man, it was basking in the sun. At Carlisle, such is the want of employment, that day labourers have been hired at the Cross al 4d. a day, without victuals. CORONER'S INQUEST.— Monday, an inquisition was taken at the Bedford Arms public- house, Cambden Town, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex, upon the body of Richard Ayton, a boy ouly nine weeks old, who died in con- sequence of being suffocated unintentionally by its mother. — Elizabeth Brown, Grove- Place, Camden Town, deposed that Mrs. Ayton aud her- self went to town on Saturday, ami took the de- ceased along with them; wheu they were returning home Mrs. Ayton suckled the child. They culled at a shop in Tottenham- court- road, and the child then appeared quite cheerful. When they arrived at home, Mrs. Ayton, suspecting that the child was asleep, gave it to her to hold while she took off her clothes, that it might not be awaked. As she had it in her arms she looked at, it, and told the mother that she thought it was dead. She was very much distressed, and immediately sent for a surgeon. Mrs. Ayton and her husband had lived four years in her house, and always appeared very fond of the child.— Nathaniel Poynter, Surgeon, of Warren- Place, Camden Town, said he was sent for to the deceased on Saturday evening; he found him quite dead, but there was a warmth in the body. He used different methods to try if he could not re- store animation; he inflated the lungs and used other means, but all proved ineffectual, and he was clearly of opinion that the child died in consequence of being pressed too close to its mother's breast, which produced suffocation.— The Jury, after examining the body of the deceased, returned the following verdict— Died by Suffocation, from the anxious care of the mother, by pressing it too close to her breast. Tuesday an inquest was held at the Queen's Head, Islington, on the body of a well- dressed woman, apparently about thirty years old, whose name is supposed to be Bucket, who was found drowned in the New River. No account trans- pired as to the motives of her death. In her pockets were found a pocket- book, containing five duplicates, pawned in the name of Bucket; four at Mr. Lane's, pawnbroker, 135, Drury- lane, and one at Mr. Turner's, 29, Bridges- street, together with four pair of ear- rings, and a gold ring. She had also a pair of cornelian ear- rings in her ears, and a ring upon her finger. There were no marks of violence upon the deceased. Verdict— Found drowned. At the Assizes holden at Maidstone, in March last, a man, named Thomas Thomas, was tried and convicted, under a special verdict, for the murder of a waterman, named Thomas Moore, on the 9th of August, 1815. The prisoner was a marine on board the Achille, which was lying near Chatham, and was paying off on the day mentioned. Being also sentinel, and a number of boats hovering about, for the purpose, it is apprehended, of receiving plunder from the ship, the deceased, among others, was desired frequently to keep his boat off; but persevering, the prisoner was provoked to discharge his musket, which instantly killed the waterman Thomas was immediately apprehended by the Ma- gistrates of Rochester. The trial of the prisoner took place on the 21st of March last. Mr. Justice Bayley, in his address to the Jury, desired, that if they found the fact of homicide clearly brought home against the prisoner, they would accompany their verdict by an opinion, whether, in their mind, the act was that of deliberate malice, or one " committed under a mistaken sense of duty." The Jury having returned a verdict to the latter effect, Mr. Justice Bayley reserved the case for the opinion of the Judges. Their Lordships, having since fully considered the question, were of opinion, that there was no proof of malice prepense, nor of wilful homicide; and concurred with the Jury, that it was an act done " under a mistaken sense of duty."— The prisoner, Thomas, therefore, was ordered to be set at liberty. To the EDITOR of the COLCHESTER GAZETTE. SIR-*-" Audi aIfc- ram partem" is a monition as trite as it is won hy the regard ot tne public journalist. An article appeared in your Gazette of the 7th inst. introduced by the attractive title—" Disgraceful and iudeceut Outrage," which was said to have Ipeen exhibited at Woodbridge.— On th? first p rusal, 1 conceived it bore internal marks of inveterate hostility to a certain class of individuals who dissent from lhe Established Church of England, aud that misrepresentation which is the natural fruit of indiscrimi- nation and bigotry. it appears, that, in order to carry into effect a verdict obtflipsd ill a Court of law, against lhe Churchwardens of the parish, the time had arrived for taking down bii ob- noxious wall, when the scrutinizing eye of- malevolence was employed in starching out, bringing into view, and grossly exaggerating some isolated particulars, in which, by the wjjy, the party accused had no more concern than the party accusing. Thus furnished, the writer proceeds, and, by an affected sympathy for" the mansions of the dead" and " the vestiges of tlieir memory," together with some unwarrantable falsehood*, a horrihle climax is wrought up, which was, no doubt, intended to " make each particular hair to stand on end," and procure the malediction of the public agai„ st a large and respectable body of men, who are represented As excitine the " pro- fauum vulgus" to acts of violence and tumuli — On lhe 14th inst. a Ictler was published in the Suffolk Chronicle, which, by a plain narrative of the whfte transaction, forms a most complete refutation of the statement made out l> y your Correspondent, who, nevertheless, I observe, pledges himself for its authenticity. That such an infamous calumny should have found its way into the columns of your Journal, aud several other provincial newspapers, is greatly to be lamented ; and I take leave to submit to your consideration whether it be not due < o candour and justice towards the Dissenters as a hoWy, aud fspeeially the individuals more immediately roncernedj that such an aspersion should meet the con- tradiction which truth alone will afford— I would just remark,! that iu bringing his paper to a close, the writer indulges himself in some sneers which prove him to be taiallv nenorant of the principles of religions di. eont — Your insertion of this letter, iu your next publication, will plflige, yours, Ac. is sufficient to ensure us safety, without the minute examination of the different expedients which are submitted , in order to give, that principle effect. It is clear that the calamity is an insufficiency of price for the produce raised, as compared with the expences which the growth requires; and that tlih; deficiency is augmented by the means used to overcome it) viz. by lessening the labour, thereby throwing the la- bourer on the poor- rates j by abstaining from the use of all articles of trade, thereby ruining t[ ie manufac- turers and artificers; and thus rendering necessary a general system of forbearance, which . lias destroyed* that reciprocation of interest which formed the se- curity of better days.— It is to repeat that winch we have so often ventured to declare, that nothing can. restore us to the blessings of individual competency but one of two thlngs-^- reduction of taxation, so as to enable the landholder to require less for his laud, the farmer, therefore, less for what he sells; or if, which every honest man must desire, that the public creditor is to- be faithfully paid, a price for the produce of the soil, which will-; throughout all the gradations of society, enable ns to defray the charges which are imposed. That' this is more simple th in it at first appeared, the experience oft he last months has proved; and that the people generally are awakened from the absurd dream of having bread for less than it can be procured, the now unanimous sentiments of all classes declare; and nothing is wanting to arrest the rapid extention of pauperism which overwhelms us, but the wise use of our own— the public purse, to give energy to sales when the private wants of individuals compel thorn to make . sacrifices, which not , only ruin them-' selves, but heighten the dangers of the State. The hand of Providence has again liberally bestowed its annual blessing; its value is immense, and will, if duly and fairly used, disperse the gloom which per- vades us; but if by pressure one- fourth of the present price be lost, ( a sum equal to the whole national ex- penditure), the farmar must be ruined, the labourer starved, and manufacturers, tradesmen, and artificers left without the possibility of employ. It is on the Government we press these considera- tions, and when time shall have lessened the charges on land, and a more wise and equitable regulation of the poor laws has taken place, by making the wealthy, not exclusively the farmer iu agricultural districts, although nearly a pauper himself, support the dis- tressed, the price of bread may retrograde iu propor- tion to such relief, and ultimately leave the market, as we wish to see it— open to every competitor. \ Sept. 24, J 816.

The capture of the Lady Warren, belonging to Liverpool, and bound from Buenos Ayres to Gib- raltar, by the Spanish armed vessel La I'eroz ( the Ferocious}, tilted out by the Cadiz Bo- rd of l rade to cruize against the South American privateers, mentioned in the preceding column, may be con- sideied as important, owing to the question it in- volves, viz. whether the denomination of Colonics, which Spain attempts to enforce on countries, which, for the last eight years, have legislated for themselves, can affect British trade; and whether a blockade can be carried on against Spanish Ame- rica on this side of the Atlantic ? The Ex- King of Sweden resides at present at Hanau, under the name of Gustafson. He lives in great privacy, and has only two persons in his bouse— a Turk who acts as his servant, and a female.

THE COLCHESTER GAZETTE. Much as we regret resuming the subject of our national distresses, and anxiously as wc hope the con- tinuance of fine weather, combined with an established rate for the home produce, sufficient, to remunerate the farmer for his expences and toil, will extend to all classes the blessings which under such circumstances it promises, we should neglect that which appears to us most important to our very existence as a State, if we did not press on the attention of the Government and public a work lately published by the Board of Agriculture, containing the returns made to the < iueri « s dispatched to all their correspondents at the commencement of the present year. A mass of such evidence of our domestic difficulties can never have existed at any previous period of our history. It presents the horrid picture of not only individual and certain future public insolvency, and clouds the mind with an increasing species of agricultural neglect, which must, if not resisted, iu a few succeeding years, leave us dependent for food, in unfavourable seasons, at least, on the will and caprice of foreign Powers.— It is impossible, in this unhappy detail, to select the particular features which constitute the evil;— ail agree as to the facts; and although a variety of spe- culations are submitted as to the mode of relief, one genera! principle can be established, which in itself COLCHESTER, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1816. The frequent shameful and dangerous practice of the drivers of unloaded waggons was never more exemplified than in an instance which occurred near the second mill in the London road, within the jurisdiction of this borough, on Monday afternoon last, about three o'clock; when four empty wag- gons, which had conveyed the baggage of a regi- ment from Witham to this town, on their return, apparently endeavouring to outstrip each other, were driving most furiously, one of which came in contact with a gig which was passing by, and struck the near wheel with such violence as to bend Ihe iron axletree, partly force off the wheel, and very nearly overturn the gig, thereby threatening the most dreadful consequences to the persons therein—- that of being thrown under the w heels of the wag- gon ; but providentially that danger was averted.— Such conduct deserves the severest reprehension, fraught as it is with the most imminent peril to the public at large. A plan has been lately adopted by the Magis- trates who regulate the Norfolk County Gaol, which appears likely to produce most beneficial effects. It is intended, that on the discharge of any person accused or convicted of felony, who shall have conducted himself properly whilst in prison, there be delivered to such person a letter, signed by the Chaplain and Gaoler, and addressed to the Minister and Overseers of the parish in which such person rs usually resident, certifying his or her good behaviour. And that there be given to such person a sum of money to enable him or her to return home ; aud if, after the expiration of one month from the time of such discharge, it shall appear by the certificate of the Minister and Overseers of the parish, that the conduct of such person has been satisfactory, that a further sum, at the discretion of the Committee, be remitted to him or her. The object of the Committee is to prevent persons discharged from confinement from returning to their former practices, by inciting tbtui to habit? of industry.

The lambs sold from 17s: to 22s. ewes 29s. to- J2s. 6d. The sale being ended, the company adjourned to the King's Head Inn, to partake of an excellent dinner, provided upon the occasion. After a few toasts had passed, the chair- man, Mr. Baker, read the award of the gentlemen who had been appointed to determine the success- ful candidates for the prize cups, and which were adjudged as follows :— To Mr. Causton, of Goldhanger, the cup, value ten guineas, given by Mr. Western, for the best pen of Shearling Ewes To Mr. Causton, the cup, value five guineas, given by Mr. Berry, of Nazing, for the best Shearling Ram,- i-' Fct Mr. Honywood, the cup, value ten guineas, given by Mr. C T. Tower, for the Ram possessing the best fleece To Mr. Causton, the cup, value five guineas, given by Mr. Baker," for the best Ram of any age To Mr. Baker, the cup, value five guineas, given by Mr. Hollywood, for the best pen of Two shear Written. The judges, Mr. C. T. Tower and Mr. Barton, declared, that the stock exhibited at this show was equal to any shewn upon a similar occasion, where they had been present. The late favourable weather has attracted an unusual number of visitors to Harwich ; and from the known salubrity of the air, and the excellent and convenient sea bathing, it is expected that the influx of visitors will be greater than was ever re- membered at this season, should the present wea- ther continue. On Monday the Hawk Revenue cutter, Captain William Deane, brought a smuggling vessel into the port of Harwich, laden with 221 tubs of spirits. BREAKING into GAOL.— A girl, belonging to the parish of baling, Kent, having been sent to Augustine's gaol, for misconduct, her suitor, a journeyman tailor, of the same parish, actually con- trived, on the 21st of August, to make his way into th - prison, after his fair inamorata. Love, as well as lunger, we find, will break through stone walls. On Tuesday, John Bocking, labourer, and Thomas Wright, miller, both of Ballingdon, were convicted in the penally of five pounds each, being taken in the art of ' poaching onthe groundsof Charles Green- wood, Esq. ol Auberies, Bulmer, in this county. On Wednesday night a melancholy occurrence happened at Mr. Norden's, at Bartholomew's Farm, rear Sudbury : - One of the labourers, of the name of John Betts, after having partaken of the harvest feast, at the above place, on returning home, fell into a swill cistern on thepremises, and was suffo- cated. On Saturday last, as some men in the employ of Mrs. Redgrave, of Melton, Norfolk, were returning to the corn- field in a waggon, one of them jumped out to open the tale, but his loot slipping off the shafts, he unfortunately fell, and the waggon going over him, the poor man survived but a few hours. On Sunday last, an inquisition was taken at the sign of the King's Arms, in the parish of St. Mary at the Walls, in this town, by Alderman William Argent and Mr. W. R Rolle, Coroners for the borough, on view of the body of Charles Jefferies, who was found dead in his bed the preceding morn ing. Verdict— Visitation of Hod.— And on Mon- day, by the same Coroners, an inquisition was taken at the sign of the Crown and punch- Bowl, in the parish of St. James, on view of the body of James Dewell, late of the C9lh regiment of foot, wlrn the preceding afternoon, hung himself in the parish of All Saints, in the borough aforesaid.

AHAND- BILL having been printed and circu- lated, falsely imputing to the Trustees ofthe Meet- ing- House, in St. Helen's- lane, Colchester, most gross and improper conduct, it is considered necessary that it should not pass wholly unnoticed.— The Printer has not flared to put his name to it; the Author cowardly sculks in ob- scurity— stabs in the dark. Their security is not so great as they imagine; and may each prepare for the conse- quence. To give effect to the calumny, and to impose on the Public, the Author has imprudently affixed the following highly respectable Names, as having signed the said Hand- bill. REV. JOHN SAVILL, COLCHESTER. REV. W. B. CRATHERN, DEDHAM REV. WILLIAM HORDLE, HARWICH. REV SAMUEL DOUGLAS, CHELMSFORD. REV JOHN THORNTON, BILLERICAY. REV DAVID SMITH, BRENTWOOD. These Gentlemen have been appealed to by the Trus tees, and have individually returned the following answers, which too unequivocally establish the delusion which has been practised upon the Public, to render necessary any further observations at present. Ilia short time all the particulars and facts relative to this perturbed Congre- gation will be faithfully laid before the Public, who are entreated to suspend their judgment, till they shall have an opportunity to form a correct estimate of the conduct of the parties who have been implicated in these dis- turbances.

Kelvedon, Sept. 10,1816. OLD BAILEY INTELLIGENCE. J. A. TRIALOF TUCK FORTHE MURDEROF DRAPER AT ENFIEILD CHACE. This trial came on the first on Friday morning. The Court was crowded at all parts, and the case appeared to excite the most lively interest. The Duke of Sussex, and Lords Yarmouth and Mountfort, were upon the Bench. Tuck is a tall athletic man, wilh nothing remark- able in his features, which are rather good than otherwise. His hair is cut in the pugilistic fashion, and his whole appearance is that of a prize- fighter. He was dressed in a drab- coloured frock coat, buff waistcoat, white cord small- clothes, and drab gaiters. Being extremely lame, he was indulged with a chair during his trial. The prisoner was arraigned on two indictments. The first, which charged him with the wilful murder of John Draper, contained two counts. One set forth, that the prisoner had beaten tiie deceased about the bead and neck with his hands, thereby indicting wounds and bruises, which had occasioned death. The other stated, that the prisoner had thrown the deceased into a certain well, and caused his death by suffocation and drowning. The second indictment charged the prisoner with feloniously taking from the person of John Draper two II. Bank of England notes, bis property. To both indictments the prisoner, in an audible voice, pleaded " Not Guilty." The pleadings were opened by Mr. Walford, and the case stated bv Mr. Andrews To prove the case, the first witness was— R. Thomas, who stated he was a school- master at Barnet; he knew the deceased, Draper, who was an Officer of the County Court; he used to serve sum- monses and levy executions of the Court, in the course of which employ he was in the habit of receiving large sums of money. The witness occasionally was employed in assisting, him in his collections. On the 8th of August tie accompanied him on this business to Putter's Bar. The deceased there received of a Mr. Reynolds, an attorney, at Chesbunt, three II. notes, ill discharge of an execution of 21. 18s. 9d. which be had against a client of Mr. Reynolds. He saw the deceased put the notes into a large roll of Bank- notes, which he carried in a little pocket- book of red leather. The witness left the prisoner at a public- house at Potter's Bar, near Barnet, about seven in the evening; be was then neither drunk nor sober. John Smith said he was a hair- dresser, and in the evening of the 8th of August he met the deceased at a public- house in Barnet; they went from thence to the Bald- faced Stag on Enfield Chace; they drank two glasses of gin and water. He saw nothing particular about the deceased, until about ten o'clock he got qu ii relsome and rather insulting; he wanted to fight Robin., oil, a black man, iu tlie house, and pulled out his po< ket- book, offering to fight for 101. or 201. but the black man said lie would not fight.— The witness wa. ited him to come away, but finding lie would not, be left the house a little after ten o'clock, to pursue bis rotd to Hoddesden, whither he was going. He had not proceeded a great way when he was over- take by the deceased's horse and cart empty. He got into the cart, and drove back to the Bald- faced Stag, where he found the deceased in the same com- pany in which lie left him : there were several persons and some boxers who lived there iu training. The deceased WPS then very drunk. He went out ofdoors, and missed his horse and cart, upon which he collared the ostler. He next seized a hay- maker, and would wrestle v ith him. Mrs. Tuck and the witness got liim back into the parlour, and the witness there left liim. As the witness was pursuing his way, he again overlook the horse ami cart empty, lie got into tiie cart, and gave the horse his head, who took liim to the door of the deceased's house, where he delivered up the carl, and told where be left him. He saw him next day dead.— On cross- examination, he said, the deceased had a boll- dog with him, which dog, as it afterwards appeared, was in the close, near the bodv, in t he well. William Roberts, the ostler, and Webb, the hay- maker, stated the same fact as to the deceased at- tacking tlieni; hut as they saw he was drunk, they neither of them attempted any force against him. John Walpole,' one of the party at the Bald- faced Stag, gave the same account of Draper's behaviour— that he wanted to fight Robinson. The witness en- deavoured to persuade him to go home. He thought tin' deceased was gone home. Some time after the deceased was gone, Robinson and others left the room, and, as witness believed, they went to bed. John Holmes, another of the company, stated tothe same effect. When he missed the deceased, he went out lolnok after him, and supposing that he was gonl home, he came in and observed that Draper tiad given him tiie double, for, that he, the witness, meant to haveN gone home with him. Tuck, the landlord, was about o; i the evening, except for near twenty minutes at a! out eleven o'clock. James Peat is a blacksmith, at the village of Cock, Forster's End. He said the deceased went out alone ii' 1 long after Smith left the house. When he was tiicre Mrs. Tuck applied to him to borrow 101. hesaw tlrnt she had n parcel of notes, there might be twelve or fourteen. He lent her 61, w hich she said would cp the sum she wanted, to make a payment.— Robinson, he believed, went to bed between ten and eleven. Robert Conch lived in the house with the prisoner. As lk< v were sitting at breakfast, on the morning of tiie 8th, they saw Draper pass. The prisoner said,— " Here comes old Draper, as good an old fellow a » ever was." They had some conversation about him, in which the prisoner told the witness that Draper had formerly been in good circumstances, but was now- reduced to serve summonses for the Court of Requests. : He then stated the same circumstances as to the con- duct of the deceased in the evening; that he wanted his dog to fight, & c- and that he left the house about half past ten o'clock. Charles Johnson, a carter to Mr. Paris, stated, that having returned from London on the evening of the 8th of August, with a load, about ten o'clock, after littering and dressing his horses, which took him until neartwelve, he went towards the prisoner's house to get some beer. Two men of the name of Austin and Brickett went with him, but they went ft> j\>; ard, and had entered the house before him. Just as he came, to the corner he saw four men run out of the house, of which he knew the landlord to be one ; and he heard the prisoner say, " D— n his old eyes, lie is gone this way, I know— round this corner." Another said, " We will give him a good hiding, and kick his ." They went in the direction of the well. Brickett and Austin had got into the house before these men had come out. Oil cross- examination, he admitted that he had been impertinent in the house a few nights be- fore, and one of the boxers had given him a beating. Brickett was called, but his evidence was unim- portant ; lie knew nothing of the statement of the hist witness. Mary Holborne had lived as servant with the pri- soner between three and four months. She knew Mr. Draper, and saw him at the Stag on the night of the 8th of August; he came in a cart. She did not see him expose his purse, money, or bank- notes. The witness went to bed about half past ten or eleven o'clock ; Draper was then in the house, in the parlour, with Mr. Walpole, Mr. Flowers, Mr. Peat, and Mr. Holmes ; she did not go into the room afterwards. Her mistress was usually the last up in the house. Whether Church or Saunders, the lodgers, were in bed she could not tell; she gave Church the candle. Her master was in the parlour where the company sat when she went to bed; Draper was there also. She was not disturbed during the night; her matter's bed- room was next to her's, but did not hear him go to bed that night; she did not hear Draper wrangle with any person. The house was shut up at ten o'clock, and frequently at eleven at night. She did not know that Draper had received any bruises or injury. The next morning she got up at half past five ; her master was the first up in the house, and he called her twice ; lie always had been in the habit of calling her ; he said nothing to her when she came down. About seven o'clock she went to the well to draw water; she found it in the same state it was before, only there wertl'pieces of wood which went round it broken inft/ lwo or three pieces; it appeared to her that it had been done since the last time she was at the well, on the morning of the day before; the top of the well was covered, and when she went the last time, the top was iu the same state; the top was large enough for a man to fall in. She saw the water look very thick, and dipped the pail down ; she then saw the hat on the deceased, and part of his face. She wentimmedialely to her master, without knowing who it was, and said, " Good gra- cious ! master, there's a man in the well!" He was letting fowls, at the time, out of the hen- house. He went to look, and said, " Good gracious ! 1 suppose it is the poor old ostler." He seemed much alarmed. She did not return to the well. The next head of evidence to affect the prisoner was to shew that two notes in the possession of the deceased were paid by the prisoner to his brewer, on the morning of the 9th. Charles Smith, in the service of Mr. Brailsford, brewer, at Enfield, proved that on the morning of the 9th the prisoner's boy brought eighteen one- pound notes, and two pounds in silver. He marked all the notes, and gave them to Philip Eldridge, the Clerk. Philip Eldridge confirmed this statement, and said, he had called on the morning of the 8th for money, when Mrs. Tuck observed that lie had come before his time. On looking at the book it appeared that he was a day or two before his usual day. He called again in the afternoon, and told Mrs. T. he wanted to make up a sum, upon which she promised to send him some money early the next morning, as she knew where to get it.— Read, the Police Officer then pro- duced two notes given him by the last witness, who said they were part of what he received from Tuck's boy on the morning of the 9th, and Mr. Reynolds said one of them wasa note he paid to Draper on the morn- ing of the 8th. He knew it by " 191." in writing ou the corner, which he had himself written. In this he was confirmed by his son. A Mrs. Kesiah Street was called, who stated she paid the other to Draper on the 10th of July ; but on cross- examination it was agreed thatthis evidence was not sufficiently supported, so that it remained on Rey- nolds's note only Messrs. Clark and Holt, two surgeons, who exa- mined the body said, there were several bruises on the head which might have occasioned death David Draper, brother to the deceased, was sent for by the prisoner about eight in the morning; found the body in a place called the brewhouse, with its clothes on; saw Tuck first, and asked him if he had taken care of his property? the answer he gave was, that what property he had on him was on him still, and that he did not know what property he had. He added, that witness might search him, and with the assistance of the son of the deceased, witness took from his pocket two pocket- books. They contained no- thing but orders of court, summonses, & c. A purse was also found, with 9s. and a halfpenny in it, that was all. When the prisoner came into the brewhouse with witness to see the body, he turned very sick, ap- peared very much agitated, retched, and went out at the door. Nothing passed betweeu the prisoner and witness about the deceased. The case for the prosecution was here closed.— The prisoner, on being asked by the Court what he had to say in his defence, replied that he was perfectly innocent of the heinous crime laid to his charge, and that as such he left himself entirely to the mercy of the Court and the Jury.— A considerable number of witnesses were then called to the character of the prisoner, who spoke of him as an honest, harmless man, and a very meek and humane one. They all concurred in stating that he was a well tempered man. Some of them knew him from his childhood, and said he always possessed a good and kind dispo- sition. Baron Graham then charged the Jury, and summed up the evidence at considerable length. His Lordship particularly adverted to the evidence of the surgeons, who were clearly of opinion that the deceased had met his death by violence. There was no reason to suppose be could have fallen accidentally into the well, for if he had so fallen into it he must have been found there with the money which he had on entering the house. The Learned Judge particularly dwelt upon the circumstance of the four persons sceu by Johnson rushing out of Tuck's bouse, and the pjisoiifer being one of them. He also adverted/ with a great deal of force to the circumstance of two of the notes which had been in the possession of the deceased, being directly traced to tiie prisoner, on the morning when the body was discovered. On Reynolds's note there could be no doubt, though there was as to the second note. The Learned judge then referred to the high character given to the prisoner, up to the moment of this charge. Character, however, could only weigh in cases of doubt. » f the Jury, on mature consideration, did not feel that doubt, they should not suffer themselves to be deluded by the influence of character, in a case of this kind. If, however, they had any doubt as to the guilt of the prisoner, they would, of course, take the weight of character into the scale. The Jury retired to consider their verdict, at twenty minutes before ten at night, and after thirty- five minutes consultation, returned n verdict of not guilty. Upon the verdict being pronounced, the prisoner bowing, thanked the Jury, and there arose some ex- pressions of applause, which, however, were checked by the interposition of flic Recorder.— Mr. Andrews, who acted as leading Counsel for the prosecution, then announced the intention of preferring a bill of indict- ment against the prisoner, for the robbery of the de- ceased, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded to prison.— The trial lasted from half past nine o'clock in the morning until half past ten at night. Joseph Gray, aged thirteen, and Thomas Wiggins, aged nineteen, were indicted, the first for stealing several Bank- notes, to the amount of SOl. and upwards, a silver watch, and pocket- book, from the person of Thomas Overall; and Thomas Wiggins, for receiving the same, knowing them to be stolen The prosecutor isa fisherman, living at West Mersea, near Colchester. On the 5th of August he was in town on business, but having got intoxicated, he wandered from his right course, and fell, asleep iu the street. On awaking he enquired his way to the Buil, in LeadenhalJ street, ana ou his arriving Ihere he missed his property. The prisoner Gray was employed by Mr. Douglas, a silk- spinner, who discovered that he was possessed of a large quantity of notes on the morning of the 6th of August; Qn being interrogated, be said his brother had given him them, and afterwards slated tl. at he had found them ; on being further pressed, he con- fessed that he had taken them from a drunken sailor, whom he met in Bishopsgete- slreet, and conducted to Crown- street, Finsbury- square, and added, that he subsequently met the. prisoner Wiggins, with whom he divided the booty. The pocket- book and part of the property was afterwards found iu the possession of Wiggins; he said he found thetu, but afterwards ad- mitted that Gray had given them to him. He denied that Gray had told him he had stolen them, nor did he know that they had been stoen.— Gray, iu his defence, said he had siolen the notes from the prose- cutor, and told Wiggins so, and Wiggins demanded half.— Gray was found guilty; Wiggins, not guilty. CHARGE OF MURDER.— Hannah Mahoney and Elizabeth Kilivar were indicted for the wilful nitlfder of Maurice Welsh, by strangling him with a cord. W. Crowley, a patrole, proved that Welsh ap- peared in good health about six o'clock in the even- ing of the 5th of August. Mary Atkins, who lives iu Dyott- street, proved, that about eleven o'clock, Kilivar called in and told her, that on their going home to dinner they found Welsh dead. John Smith, beadle of St. Giles's, saw the body of the deceased on the 6th of August. It had a mark, as of a cord round the neck, and a black mark, and I lie skin rubbed up under the right ear. Mahonev said lie had died of the cramp in his stomach. Elizabeth Day proved, that between six and seven a fighting commenced in Mahoney's, which lasted an hour or two. She heard Welsh repeatedly exclaim, " Oh mv God! my Christ!" She did not hear of his death till ne\ t morning. Robert M'Lellan, an upholsterer, iu Great Russcl street, was passing through Dyott- street, about f quarter before ten o'clock on the 5th of August. He heard a great noise in Mahoney's, and soon after two or three men and women leaped down the steps of the door, and then ran down the street. Joseph Burgess, apothecary to St. Giles's parish, was sent for to Mahoney's house on the 6th of August, where he saw a dead body. Mrs. Mahonev was there. I.... K was laid out iu the usual form for an Irisili wake. It had a white ucekelolh, with a pad in it, about its neck. No'one attempted to prevent him from examining the body; and, after taking off the neckcloth, lie found a very extensive bruise ou the leftside of the j uv, extending to the ur, and several scratches on the face. On the neck he discovered a very plain and decided mark, extending all round the neck, which, in his opinion indicated the mode of his death. He asked Mrs. M. why she had not sent for some medical man, and she said she was so agi- tated that she did not know what she did. The mark might have been made by a cord. There were marks on the wrists as of a ligature. His opinion was, that the thing which caused the mark ou the neck would produce strangulation, and he believed the death was caused by that; but he thought, that if a man had a tight silk handkerchief about his neck, without a pad, at the time of his death from cramp in the stomach, it might have produced the ring mark which he saw on the deceased. In their defence, both prisoners denied having any knowledge whatever of the cause of Welsh's death.— Several witnesses were then called to character, who spoke favourably of the prisoners. Mr. Justice Holroyd summed up the evidence; and the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of not guilty, with respect to both the prisoners. former for a burglary, in breaking into the house of James Poole, and stealing therefrom twenty yards of woollen cloth, on the lotli of December, 1814, the property of said Poole, and the latter for aiding, and abetting in those acts. The Attorney- General, on opening. the case to the Jury, stated that the prisoner Vaughan held an office of great trust and ' confidence under tlic Cro^' n, and had already, iu another place, becu couvictbd of a conspiracy, and was brought up that day to receive judgment of the Court for aiding and abetting in a burglary. A number of witnesses were examined in support of the prosecution; but the Attorney- General having consented to give up the capital part of the charge, and to proceed only on the miuor crime of stealing, a verdict was given against Dannelly ac- cordingly, and Vaughan was found guilty of being an accessary; but iu his case judgment was deferred on a point of law, to be determined oil a future day. B. Johnson, a City Police Officer, was put to the bar, charged with having instigated a person named Baxter to commit a burglary in the dwelling- house of Mr. Snowsill, iu Gray's- inn- lane, himself being an ac- cessary therein. For this offence Baxter bad been capitally couvicted at a former Sessions, principally ou the evidence of Johnson, who, it since appeared, had not only excited him to commit the burglary, but also planned it, for the purpose of apprehending him and receiving a reward on his convictiou. It was also proved that he had given his assistance therein by watching Mr. Snowsill and his family out prepara- tory tothe house being broken open, an old woman only being left in the upper part, and that he had stationed himself in front of the house while it was perpetrated, encouraging Baxter in the act. These facts being clearly proved, he was capitally couvicted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Tuck was again brought to the baron Monday, on an indictment preferred against him for the robbery of Mr. Draper; but no evidence appearing in support of the charge, he was of course acquitted. William Tiffing was indicted for the wilful murder of William Read, by shooting him with a pistol. Mr. Franklow, a partner of the prisoner's, was a melting- pot- maker, in Spitalfields; on the night of 27th of July, about eleven o'clock, he heard the dis- charge of a pistol, and soon after Tiffing told him that he had been going round the yard, as usual, wherethe carts were kept, when hesaw a man near the wall; that Tiffing told the man to go out, or else he should fire at him, but instead of going the man ran up to him, when Tiffing warned him to keep off, as bis pistol was loaded. Tiffing retreated a few paces, but the man still advanced, until he came within about two yard.*, when Tiffing fired, and he fell. Tiffing desired witness to get a watchman, which he did, and when he came back with the watchman, they found the man lying dead on his back. The premises and the counting- house had been robbed about a year and a half ago, and considerable property taken away; and since that, several smaller robberies had taken place there. It was the custom of witness's partner every night to inspect the premises, with a loaded pistol in his hand. Mr. Justice Graham felt it hardly necessary to state tothe Jury, that to support the charge of wilful mur- der set forth in the indictment, it was necessary to shew that the prisoner had been actuated by malice, that he had proceeded according to some principle of ancient grudge, or present malignity; but iu this case it waskinanifest that the prisoner had acted not only with a natural regard to the protection of his property, but with a caution and circumspection which, so far from being criminal, would have the sanction of law to support it— The Jury, after about a minute's consultation, acquitted the prisoner. The Learned Judge then addressed Mr. Tiffing, and said, that he might depart with the satisfaction of having no imputation upon hiin on account of what had passed.— The prisoner withdrew accordingly. Tuesday, George Dannelly and George Vaughan were brought to the bar, and capitally indicted ; the THE CONSPIRATORS. On Saturday George Vaughan, Robert Mackay, and George Brown, were put to the bar, charged with a conspiracy to induce William Hurley, Michael Hurley, William Sanderson, William Wood, and Dennis Hurley, to commit a burglary in the house of Mrs. M'Donald, at Hoxton There was also a count iu the indictments, charging the prisoners generally with conspiring to induce certain persons to commit burglaries, that they might afterwards obtain the rew ard for their apprehension. Mr. Gurney addressed the Jury on the part of the prosecution, and observed, that in a country like this, where it was impossible that popular discussion and popular feeling should not exist, he had to call ou the Jury to divest their minds of every impression which they might previously have received, and to enter into the present investigation coolly and dispassionate- ly, and to decide on the guilt or innocence of the prisoners an the evidence which should be laid before them. The Learned Counsel, then, at considerable length, detailed to the Jury all the circumstances of the case, which have already been repeatedly before the public, as they came out on the different exami nations of the prisoners. William Drake was the first witness examined, who deposed that he was formerly a midshipman, and an acting lieutenant in the Navy. He knew all the prisoners, and Mackay in particular. They both held situations in the Custom- house. He could not say in what situation Brown was, but he knew that Vauglian was one of the Bow- street patroie. The witness stated, that bein? in a public- house near Shore- ditch church, his attention was drawn to the cou versation of some persons in the place, which induced liim to suppose they Were thieves. The circumstance he afterwards communicated to Mackay and Brown. The former immediately proposed to introduce the witness to Vaughan, and this was accordingly done next morning. Mackay only was present, and they bad some conversation respecting the characters of the men w hom witness had heard conversing at the publtc- liouse mentioned, and Vaughan immediately proposed that they should commit a burglary at the house of a friend of his iu Gray's- inn- lane, and where an attempt had been previously made by a man named Hubbard, but which was defeated by tlie barking of a dog. Witness, in the course of the same afternoon, saw the Hurleys at a public- house in Shoreditch. He was accompanied lo the neighbourhood by Mac- kay, who waited for him at some distance. Witness communicated to the persons mentioned the intention of breaking open the house in Gray's- iun- lane, where he represented there \ yas considerable property, and asked their assistance. They immediately consented, and Dennis Hurley said he knew a man who was accomplished in business of the kind, and on whom they might depend. This person he said he would bring with them. They then parted, and witness afterw ards communicated theconversation he had had with the persons mentioned to Mackayand Vaughan, and his appointment to meet them again at eight o'clock that evening. This the witness did at a public- house in Shoreditch, and I hey all went to the house of John Brown, to talk the matter over. The latter was the person who principally planned the business; and he, Mackay, and the witness, went to Sadler's Wells, where they met Vaughan, who ac- companied them to a tavern. Witness told Vaughan all was ready, whenever he wished the business to be done ; when the latter said it could not be done that night, on account of some lodgers, but lie wished it to be effected the following night, as all would then be ready. It was then fixed that they should meet at Vaughan's house next day, and the witness was pre- viously to see the Hurleys and others, and acquaint them that the burglary was to be committed the fol lowing night. Witness accordingly met them, and said all would be ready, and in the words of Vaughan, informed them that there would be " considerable property," and that it would be " a perfect, gift Witnesssubsequently went withMackay and Vaughan, who gave him some keys, a crow- bar, and some money, in order to defray the expence of keeping the men at the public- house, who were to commit the burglary Vaughan tlieH left them to go upon his duty at Sadler's Wells. Mackay went to a public- house, and witness went to Shoreditch, and met two of the men together, with the bov Wood and D. Hurley. They were after- wards found by Sanderson and Vaughan, and Mackay came down about eleven o'clock : witness went with them, and Vaughan pointed out the house, and desired witness to be circumspect, and mark the right door, and that every thing should be ready in fifteen minutes. Witness then returned to the men, and at the same time took them towards the house, when Mackay came running up in haste, and said it could not be done on account of the watchman. Vaughan after- wards told witness that he could not get the watch- man to quit his beat, but that he would report him the next morning, and get him discharged. Some time after, Mackay, Brown, and the witness, proposed the burglary at Mrs. Macdonald's, at Hoxton, and it was communicated to Vaughan, who highly approved of it; and similar meetings and arrangements took place, as in . the former case. The men to he em- ployed were Dennis, John , and Michael Hurley, Sanderson, and Wood. Witness had part of the money to treat them with from Vaughan, and part he furnished himself. Brown undertook to keep Mrs. Macdonald out of the way, and she was kept three nights. One night it was not done because only three men were present, and he wanted to have all five, as the reward would be greater. On the 2d of July it was done, and on that night Mrs. Macdonald was taken to a house in Tabernacle- square, by Brown, where she was to be kept till witness should ' go fiiertii witness went with, the five men; he told fhetn thHr would find some property, and he mentioned a riti;> to them. He had Mrs. Macdonald's ring in hn po£ session. several days, pud returned it ou tlie day of the robbery to Mackay. On the night the robbery was effected; Edwards, the consiabiff, was with vaughan and Mackav,. but witness did not believe he had auv knowledge o* the transaction. ' James Hurley wasuext'ejrtiniitied.— Firstsaw Drake about six or seven weeks before tlie burglary was committed at Mrs. Macdonald's. ' Flic witnessIheii proceeded by his testimony to corroborate fiie state* nieut of the last witness, as to what passed at their different meetings previous to Ihe- rright 6n which the burglary was committed.— Dennis Harley corrobw. i rated his brother's statement, mid said further, that not any thing was taken by them from Mrs. Macdo- nald's house— Michael Hurley's testimony was tothe same effect.— Sanderson also deposed to the saius effect and facts. The case being closed on the part of the Crown, Mr. Arabin then rose, and on belmlfof Vanghan, entered into an ingenious defence, in which here- viewed the. whole of the evidence, and contended that in no part was the fact of a guilty participation made out against him, except in the unconfirmed testimony and imputation of Drake, and that the conduct purT sued by him was that of a sense of public duty as an officer. The other two prisoners l. ad 110 Counsel, hut they each shortly addressed the Court. Edward Christian, Esq. Chief Justice of the Isle of Ely, was called on the part of Vaughan, and gave him a good character, during the time he had known him as his servant a few years since. Mr. Gurney having shortly replied to Mr. Aral in, the Jury, after about a minute's consultation, found all the prisoners guilty.— The Court immediately pro- ceeded to pass sentence. The Chairman commented, iu impressive terms, on the enormity of the crime of which the defendants had been found guiily, and sen- tenced them to be imprisoned for five years iu the House of Correction, and at the expiration o,' thai time to find security for three years, tliemse. ves in 801. and two sureties iu 40!. each. The case occupied the whole of the day, from ten in tlie morning lilt seven in the evening. The Court was crowded throughout the. day, and a full bench of Magistrates attended. A work, which has but lately been published oa the Continent, affirms that by an accurate calcu- lation there are 13,000,000 of Jews in Europe. SPOTS ON TIIE SUN.— Some spots on the sun's disc have re- appeared. Theyare more considerable, and iu greater numbers, than were remarked during the munth of July. They form two irregular chaplets, of which the first is very apparent, and covers, longitudinally, the 7th part of the sun's diameter. Referring to the disc, considered in its apparent extent of three feet in circumference, the two principal spots of the first chapiet are equal in size to two large cherries, which they also re- semble in shape. The space which separates their* is covered with twelve or fifteen other spots, more or less visible. The second chaplet is composed of Seven or eight small spots, of which the two most apparent approach iu size those which tp pen red previously. So says the Gazette de France-, and to illustrate the subject, it gives a print. of the sun, with its cheeks all covered with spots, like the patches on a fashionable English lady one hundred years ago. In the kitchen garden at Windsor Lodge, there has been an extraordinary produce of one grain of bailey. The number of ears that were cut from this single root was 207, which, at an average of twenty corns to each ear, produced the wonderful increase of 4,140 corns from a single root. About one o'clock on Friday morning, the neigh- bourhood of Hoi born was thrown into the gie- fest confusion, in consequence of lire being discovered in a nearly finished house, belonging to Mr. Norris, upholsterer, coruer of Hand- court, Holborn. It is rather singular that the house that stood upon this scite, together with four others, were destroyed by fire about eighteen months since, ' i hey were new fitted up in an elegant style, and one of the proprie- tors had only entered about a week previous to this accident; happily, however, no person was living iu the house that took fire, which, about two o'chx k was nearly gutted, as no engines catne for a consi- derable time. At last the Westminster arrived, and about half an hour alter, upwards of thirteen others came, but too late to save the premises, in consequence of which they directed their attention to the preservation of the surrounding houses, which, with the exception of some small damage, Were all saved with great difficulty. The cellars of Mr. Goodman, proprietor ofthe Feathers Tavern, in Hand- court, which extends considerably into Holborn, were much damaged. On Saturday night last, about half past eleven o'clock, as Mr. Chambers, one of the box- k< epers of Drury- lane Theatre, was crossing I iule Russell- street to the Harp public- house, he fell against tlie curb- stone, and instantly expired. Mr. Lee, of East Harding- street, Gough- square, was on Saturday morning found dead in his bed about breakfast time. Mr. Lee kept the medi- cal herb shop iu Fleet- market, and went to rest the preceding night in apparent good health. A NEW WAY TO BREAK YOUNG HORSES.— A re- spectable farmer in the county of Middlesex had a young horse, which it was thought impossible for him to break to the carriage. After trying all the means which could be devised without effect, he thought of the following singular method:— He loaded a sledge with rails, sufficient for two oxen to draw ; he placed it in a ploughed field about 200 yards from a rich grass land, and put his horse to it, pulled off the bridle and told him to " draw it to the grass or starve." The horse resolutely re- fused to draw it for three days ; but on the fourth day he started, looked back, and then stal led again, until he reached' the grass, where he began to feed ; this he continued to do for several days, when he was taken from the sledge, and has ever since proved a most excellent horse.— East Jersey Rep. EXECUTION.— On Monday John Atwood Egler- ton, for an unnatural crime, was executed before the Debtor's- door, Old Bailey. The unfortunate man met his fate with becoming fortitude, and his body, after hanging the usual time, was given to his friends for interment. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.— Friday morning Mr. Dyer, who has been cleik for upwards of 20 years to Messrs. Argand and Elger, oilmen, in Bruton- street, put a period to his existence, by blowing out his brains with a leaded pistol. lie has leff a widow and four children to lament his loss. It is supposed embarrassed circumstances was the cause of this act. BRAINTREE . ... BALLINGDON ... BRENTWOOD....
