These States had derived ' roip this country Ihat atrocious tratlic, but they had a| so ^ lerlyed from us those principles of liberty and humanity, by which they had been led to be the first in abandoning it. prom this country'these . Slates had also derived that spirit which taught, thein to jpotect innocence ^ nl rcsistopprsssioo and tyranny., Tlrcre was "" ' therefore iio ( loni> t but that the American Government woald eagerly listen . to any plan which might be proposed for coiiipletjn'" the great work of abolition by giving fuller effect to the laws c'Vi'- ted by t^ ongrws. If, therefore, such an understanding aahe . supposed practicable should take place between this country and Prance and the Unite< l States, the smaller powers would readily concur in'the same system of maritime police. From the disposition whifb Porltustil'hadmanifested, itperhipsmight be supposed jtljat . all would Pot agree to submit to a search ; but if lifter so " general an arrangement as he had supposed should be effected, if any single' power held: tint, it would then be for the . other powers the retail sli;,|> keepor. V from the mode., in w^ jeh dhas been the practice'to fix the rateable value of tlie'irtolises inasseising rhem to the duty oh inhabited bouses. IJtlder the aets now iu force for levying this duty, a dwellingbouse,. part of which is converted into a shop, or fo whlelf astiop is attached, is liable to an assessment upon the w; ho) c value of the tenement. It. will be seen, however, . front! the evidence taken before' your Committee, that the addition Jot the sh0^; 4oiv tee converting part of the dwelling- houst to that use, increases its value, in almost all situations, and in sortie more th'au doubles it; so that a house, which,' if occupied for the' purpostf of'iii-- habitaney, would be rated at a. 5/. per annum, is rated " at M . in consequence of part of it being occupied for the purpose- of carrying on the shopkeeper's trade. It is therefore ( piite clear, that the tajt upon dwelling- houses acts directly as a shop- tax In these instances, t • '• The next subject to which your Cominitt^ e directed their attention was tjte etl'ect produced by the present maimer of rating the lights in shops to the window duty. Where a ? hop is lighted by a large frame on each side of the ' door, ami a fan light above the door, or glass in the door, however large the apertures for light may be, ( hey are rated at three; where tlieie is but one large frame, and a dorif Or fan light, they are rated at two. It appears, however, to your Gomu) iJt$!, that if such part of the house as is occupied as a shop, was actually used for the purposes of inhabitancy only, the same number of apertures for the admission of light would be necessary ill the same space : so that the shopkeeper is not, generally speaking, charged more to the window duty than any other occupier of a hopse of similar dimensions; while, by the exception in his favour. contained in the act for regulating this duty, lie is enabled to obtain . much ulore light from the same number of apertures, as he is permitted lo have them of any size, provided they contain o, ne frame . only. Your. Committee having stated what they Conceive to be a, wellfonnded^ round of complaint upon the part of the shopkeepers, with regard to the inhabited house duty, thought it right to inquire into theprobable diminution of the revemie. in this particular branch,! if. houses leaving shops attached to them should be assessed attheir value as dwelling houses merely. They have not, however, been able to obtain any thing like an accurate estimate upon this point; a eulculation of the loss, in case such parts of houses, as are occupied as shops were exempted f pm duty entirely, was delivered to your Committee by the Secretary ot the Assessed Tuxes, stating that loss at about 160,0001. per ,. annum. Hut as your Committee do not contemplate the necessity of an . entire exemption from duty of those pTwarirtlss ontf' h, oiuosecs , such . a calculation does not give the necessary information.— June 30, 1U19.

Stehomas Vildey the younger, Richard , Palmer, Kichard Windtwer, Daftiel \ inee, John Carwardjne, Abel. Hrannau, Richard Alder, William Penrose, James, Lan" shaw, John Stephens, Thomas Cdx, John Moody, . Sidney Thompson, James Field, John Drake, and Robert Clarke. The indictment stated, that the defendants, being workmen in the art and mystery of making carriages, combined together to lessen the time of their labour by two hours a day, to compel their masters to give them the same wages for their curtailed as they did for their prior exertions, to prevent their masters from having above a- certain number of apprentices. antl to hinder any of them from taking iu piece- work. The indictment further stated, that to promote the purposes of this combination, the defendants bad established a society, which was called " The Benevolent Society of Coach- makers," but which was intended to diminish the freedom of trade possessed by the masters ; that they had conveyed to the coach tnasters a letter containing the stipulations which they/ wanted to obtain ;, and that they had conspired to deprive their masters of that control oyer the trade which it was proper that they should possess.. The defendants, with the exception of William Penrose, who has died since the indictment was preferred, and William Wildey the younger, w ho has not appeared, pleaded not guilty, upon which plea issue was joined. :,-- i Messrs. GOUNEY, ROMANO, and 1' i. ATr, were of Counsel fur the prosecution: Mr. DKNM. VN defended William Oouncll; Messrs. SCABI. KTI and F. POLLOCK,, for Stephenson, ' Thatcher, Wildey, the elder, and Richard Palmer: Mr. MABUVAT was for the remainder of the defendants. ;. t'-,. Mr. Guas- EY then observed, that it was his duty to lay before the Jury the facts neoessary to support this indictment. These facts, though numerous, bore so decidedly upon the case, that they would have no'difficulty in pronouncing upon its merits. The defendants, on whose guilt or innocence they were nuw called to decide, had been selected out of a large body of individuals engaged in this conspiracy, on account of the fraud with which they had conducted it, and on account of their being each members of a differ* cut branch of the trade of coachutaking. A case of greater ini,- portance to the public than tlie present could not possibly be imagined : a man could guard against those crimes which were committed by single individuals, or if he could not guard against them, could easily discover nod punish those who committed them ; but au ollbnce like the one which he was going to detail lo them, was more dangerous than any of those lo which lie had alluded, inasmuch as it was committed by a set of men who were contriving in secret, who by their very numbers could carry on their contrivance with despatch and ability; who by tbeirskill, their talent, and their knowledge of the feelings of those with whom and against whom they acted, could lead others on 16 the perpetration of siniilarcrime, and thus render them their slaves at the same time that they rendered them their victims. He had no hesitation ia saying, that the present case was oneVrf the grossest cases of conspiracy which had everbeen subiuitted. to the consideration of a Jury; but, so con* elusive was the evidence which he should produce regarding its various ramiffcations,' so'complete. was the manner In which he was enabled to unveil its secrets, that it was quite impossible for those who had joined ruit- to escape detection iu the first instance, and punishment in the second. The defendants, who were then upon their trial, wert/ erigVliged ill different branches of thecoach- trade. Perhaps it was ktKiwft to the Jury, that engaged iiv the mystery of - eo uiu- iaking wore lt, xi\ makers, harnessniakers, trimmers, springsmiths, Each of these distinct classes, as for instance the coachsuiiths, were' subdivided into two branches— master coachv- ri- ths, and journeymen coachsmiths: but of whatever condition tiles? defendants were, they all conspired to make their aiastersslaves to themselves,, and. themselves in asters of the remainder of the journeymen. Tntf (( jrl'ii Which they adopted to « M t this purpose was not hastily concalvifl or rashly executed. The combination first became public in the spring of 1818, but had been contrivetl two. yea. rs before that period,:, and bad been contrived, too, under the sanction of alii. Act of Parliament, which had inieii- pawed for a vnry difU'teut. purpose. This Act of Parliament formed: the coachmakers u< 1^, 0, friendly society, which those whocompos? t(' itj called. the " Benevolent Society of Coachmakers." Il was vtiry important for'fbnse who entertained such views as the defendants in the present indictment had entertained, to commence . Willi a society having such an object as this society professed to bale. , i t was very important, because it gave them the oppo'rtimityiof meeting undisturbed, so long as the articles which they held out to'lhe world pleased the Magistrates, and did not offend Iho eye of their' masters whenever they fell accidentally before it; They therefore called a general meeting of tile ijotirneviHen employed'in the trade, drew up certain articles by which the society was to be governed, laid them before the Magistrate* got them approved, and applied to the Duke of Sussex to become their patron.' In the book of articles which received the sanction of the- Magistrates, there was this particular article to wbicli he wished to call, their attention—" No journeymen shall combine against their . masters." Thesu rules, which they thus ostentatiously put forward, were all very good, but unfortunately they were only fratnetl for deception ; they were presented indeed to the Magistrates, but at tin; same time another set was framed, by w hich the society was to be actually governed. The prime niover in this conspiracy, whether elected to that station by the voice of his fellows; or assuming that office of Ills Own free w ill, hail instituted other laws, which were printed ami published for the use , of the . members; to Ibis printed copy no printer's name was attached,' So that it Could not be traced by thai means who this prime moverwas;-' There ras a grand committee formed out of the different trades, audit w- as punishable to disclose the names of its members.

For if ally man was turned out of this society, be became'a marked man, and, becoming a marked man, the other journeymen refused'to work with hen. He would tell them of a ease in wh'ich tlii., refusal had been absolutely notified to a master Corteiinlitker. A journeyman Coaehmaker came op from Bristol to London,' ahd'wln'ist iii London ofkuidetl tl; a pride of the mighty . Council by some disrespectful' language which he addressed to him. ' The man went ,5a'ck again to Bristol, and got a situation ; when, lo! all the other journeymen, owing to a notitication which Council hadseh- t down to them, refused to work with him. On this occasion Council, who was general secretary to the society, went down to Bristol, atjtJ told the mastereoachmaker what the consequence would l/ e if he continued to employ this obnoxious journeyman. He pulled a bundle of Bank- notes from his pocket, ami flourishing t'- elnlll the face of the coach- maker, said, '• « 1 have ti. OOO/, in my pocket; 1 will set up a business against yon, and will take all your men . fygm Voii', if you keep that fellow in your employ.*' ' The consequence was. that the coach- maker dismissed the individual whom Council had thus denounced. The- next rule to which he wished to draw the attention of the master was, that no man shall w ork for a inastor that takes in piece- work, on line of 10s, 6- 1. each day he works. No man shall serve any. but au honourable master, on fine of 10s. 6d. each day. An honourable master must employ honourable men: ami here it was necessary to observe, that none could be honourable men in the vocabulary of the society, except those who had entered into this wicked and detestable society, w hich falsely called itself a benevolent society. T his new signification of the word ' honourable' brought him to another clause, which was as follows: 44 On a man leaving a shop, be shall bring a certificate from, the secretary of his shop, stating if he left honourable ; w ithout this lie cannot have his name ( uttered on the books. Any secretary refusing- to give such certificate, shall be fined 10s. ( id. for each offence." Another clause deserved the attention of the Jury: •• Any man knowing his master to give out piece- work, shall report it to the society on the first club night, or be lined 10s. 6d." The Learned Counsel nest read from the book of articles, which had been sanctioned by the magistrates, the following sentence: 44 A member of the BcNevoieut Society of Coachmakcrs shall never combine in any way against his employers: he shall never charge for bis work either more or less than the regular standard price ot the trade ; " and contrasted it with the 11th article of tho- 3^ - section of the secret laws, 44 Any man continuing to work for a master who is ordered lo be struck to. shall be fined one guinea, and his name put on the last class among the people."— Now, it was stated in the 11th article, scctioiv first, t'uit i% it iwiy " 4ill. That the . hours of working be from 7 till T. • 4 5th.

The above circular has been sent to the em pi overs ; should thev ask aov of you about it, say you are ignorant of the business, but that they had better post their answer ' This rule, you will all observe, lest they should attempt to prove a curnbiitft tion against you; therefore, on no account thalever do you entet' : rUo conversation with thein about it " I le thought that the most experienced of the experienced could not recollect any thing equal to this. What, if the masters wished to coiifer with ihcir journeymen about their alleged grievances,' were their mouths to bd'stopi.- d Ly sueh expressions as these: 44 Ytet bad better post" your answer.:'' 44 1 had rather not talk about it,;" and so on. There uotild scarcely b^ a. stronger proof of a conspiracy than such answers as th. r'se. ' The masters ( not all of theiu, howtor some had ' weak nerves, and wen; terj ificdj opp these propositions with the utmost rigour and hoslibtv. Portunately, a Gentleman ai" Reading. got jiossessibu of the articles conspirators, aud < il ' a'iiiost important letter signed by 11 The journeymen,' l* iiig not aware that they must man was paid short of his regular wages, the master, under whom he acted, was not to be served." So that the intention of IV- se benevolent journeymen was quite evident: it was that they should be the arbiters of all the prices to be paid in the trade ; aud that if their prices were not acceded to, the master was in their own phrase to be struck to. Then came as wicked a rule as had ever been devised by tin; ingenuity of man : 44 No foreman shall be compelled to belong to the society, unless he works : any foreman belonging to the society shall pay his money to the general secretary, that if may not appear he ranks with the men. No foreman shall give any instructions to any but regular men, or line 1/. Is. each mail. Any man who shall say tliata foreman is a member of the society, ahalHW fined 10s. < 3d." In case of necessity the foreman shall niake all re] Mirts to the secretary that he may require, b'lt all this must be kept secret on fine of 20 guineas, to be paid liy the party disclosing. Was It not most horrible to find, tliat they had oiitcred into a project to seduce those men who wcrethe most in the confidence of their employers? that they should do it too in such a manner that neither the journeymen themscjves, nnor the unsuspecting master, should have the tt'i^. lc- rt suspicion of it? that they should plant a spy in every shop to report in- what . manner the'master, and in what manner the meu, transgressed against the rules of this very benevolent society? Then came the'rulos forcoachmakers. A body- maker was to cpnflno himself to body- work, - unless a member of the first class ; a carriage- maker wasto confine himself to carriage- work, unless he was a member of the firsticlass; a j'obbing- man war to contiuebimself to jobbing- workV unless he was a free member of the first class..: Then'no master was to be suffered to take an outiloor apprentice, . it being contrary to the laws of this country but. on thispoint these sapient legislators w^ re a little mistaken. Then it was ordained, that no master should'lie allowed more than one appreuUce to erery rtix men, and so on in proportion ; but that no journeyman or foreman should be suffered to take an apprentice except hisowrtSOn, and only one of them. He thought into three ranks— citizen",, subjects, and people : thus there was kind of nobility existing within it. ' I hev also degraded ibelir members from one rank to another : one of* the members of the grand Committee was to go out every month, and another to succeed to bis place, elected by the different branches of the trade in" rotation. Whoever revealed what passed in the Committee- before the proper time, was to lie lined 10 guineas— a large sum for persons in their. situation of life; or expelled the society. This committee had supreme power over every thing in the society except the finance; it had power to form fresh linanee- committees aud to transl'er stock front one committee to another, as need might require; it' had power to vote a certain sum for the relief of any of tlic society members who were m distress, and to judge of the mote proper time of the members' superannuation. The. next circumstance mentioned in these articles is the dittc- » citt districts - into which the trade of London is divided 5 and it is stipulated that when the r strike iii one county', they shall bttsupported by those 111 the ot! Then it is stated that there was a secretary in other- words a spy in each shop, and none but he was intrusted . w ith the laws.— Then there was a general secretary, whir was always to hold himself in readiness to goto any place where the society's interests nii" ht require, both day and night; and who. was tojramuutrti tin" committee, whenever he received any information of importance to the society. Then came a further description of the different ranks, citizens, subjects, aud people, into which th society was divided. •• At present," says the article, " allare ci tuciis; but lest a man should be driven to despair tluougb lit- in that the facts whicli he- had already detailed to them had rendered the object of this combination quite clear to their apprehension ; if, however, they had any doubt> of it, he - would show what it w as from a letter which - he should prove in the course of the trial to have been written by the famous- Mr. Council. Before lie nwl that letter to them, he would beg leave lo recal to the minds of the Jury; that this combination,- prepared in ltil6i" ant} advancing in progress in 1817, did not:- brpak out 1 o any overt act till the spring ot' 1818. The conspirators had intended to open the campaign at an earlier period, but'had been commanded to wait till they received fresh orders from the General Committee,• A letter of Connell's, which accidentally fell iotoethe hands Of an eminent coachtnaker at Readingy'- nnd which contained acircularto the journeymen, aaid a copv ofi their- secret laws;; would explain the reasons of this delay. The letter- stated that the book, marked No. 1, gave a sanction to their proceeding*; 1 as it made them appear conducive to a great public charity ^- whilst the book, marketl No. 2, and the circular which accompanied - it! ' showed their real intentions, as also what they were then about. 4 The circalar stated the allowances which they made to their different members, and informed tbe journeymen, that since those articles had been formed, the wheelers had joined them. It also requested the person to whom it was addressed, to communicate to the general Secretary, the names of those in that town who were willing to join the combination. If afterwards added, that all tramping must be stopped, aud the money kept to support the strikes. 14 We are now preparing for a turn- out at London," continued the writer, 44 and as the fate of the trade depends upon the lssne of our first encounter, all the force of the country must liear down in our favour ; if w* are soctes-. lul, we will support the journeymen in every town iu the country', which we will attack, one after, another, until our system I's'esiahh- lie ! all over the kingdom. No town, however, must turn out, oil it has got its orders from us : the journeymen must bear . their present burdens iu patience until we can obtain redress. Let us have your opinion of this plan, and keep it as secret as pmsihte." The' letter was signed W. Connell. Mr. Gutuey then catted upon the Jury. to mark that he had now traced the secret articles to Council; tiiat he had pointed him out to thein as the acting Secretary, and that lie now held him forth to their notice acting as ' Treasurer to this unlawful combination. Their own funds it was requisite to keep as much out of public view as possible, as by tlie acts against unlawful combinations, they were liable to be forfeited as lieing intended for illegal purposes, in order to avoid tbe operation of these acts, the Jury would find that another trade had lentils funds to the defendants. The conspiracy proceeded without being discovered by the masters: they saw, indeed, that the men vvt- re restless, that they did not work with their usual alacrity. They . know that- a combination existed, but tlrey could not discover any overt act. However, on the 23d ofs^ ehrua^ y last, a paper was left with the different co.- icbm. istrrs, though nrfbody knew by whom. The Jury would rccollect the old story of 44 Bell the Cat." The conspirators were, » K anjifciis to effect their object, but each man was afraid to fyt the- first t o , declare himself. In pursuance of their plan, they did what might be called the first overt act; they dropped nil their rnasters' premises a paper, signed 44 An Enemyto 1 Uttds- ranee," stich w'as the signature- adopted by this most intolerant. society. . They endeavuured bv that letter to draw iu the master coaen- rnalsers toliecoine accomplices in their unlawful association,* and all this was ddiie id consequence of the advice - of Council. • -, - '- ( Here Mr. Giu itey read the lcttar.) 44 TO THE MASTER COACH MAKERS. 44 Gentlemen— Earnestly desiring to better the present condi ' lion of the coacbmaking trade, and to establish that interest and prpbity without which 110 good can result to either party, 1 again solicit you to attend to tbe wants of your joHriieyineu, whose only tiesiire is, that each branch of the trade- may- have their respective privileges restored, and be enabled through tlieir industry to support that rank in life their situation so justly entitles them to. 44 I am happy to state that the requests of the jtmrneyaien are reasonable, although they have it now in their power, " to protect themselves; yet, disdaining to take any mean advantage, they offer you mure than equiv alent for whatever you may give, in securiug'to you l i e sole mastership o4' your trade, by preventing in fu ture all lntrusioiixof KteaM^ jin among you. 1;.;- 1 44 In order thatjouiuay he able to proceed with your business without interruption, I, have - thought it most prudent to . send you tliiS letter, siibjoiniil^' a'list'hf'the journeymen's requests, t< » whirl: you wilt b e pleased to post your answer on the doors of, your lofts on or before ' Tuesday, Iho third day of March next, otherwise il will be considered that you will not comply, and of two evrls the journeymen must choose the least. 1 have the honour to be votlrs & cv AN ENEMY TO I N T O L E R A N C E. 44 JOURNEYMEN'S REQUESTS! !. 441 st;" That no coachmakcr employ any but regular journeymen or use any work but what is made by such.

Upon asking how this was to be efieeted, he saitt that their men could at any time- be withdrawn, <• Witness'answered, this would be of little consequence, as most Masters were workmen themselves, and could teach other men to wrrfc also. He said, that should not avail them, as tni> y . should not have materials wherewith to work : for by this plan of his all the tradesmen were to be united too. He went on to say that carriages were a great luxury, and ought to be paid for better than they were. Witness told him that he disapproved of his plan in toto, and could not countenance any such thing whatever. Witness said that Itycon-.' "•' deled fair competition to be tbe life and soul of trade; and that while that. Competition remained, their employers would employ those whom they thought proper, and those who supplftrd them the cheapest and best. There was one particular observation which: Connell made that struck him forcibly, it was this, that those shops who ditl not comply with this system, should be interdicted. He was with witness three times on'this subject. Witness saw Connell iri Holborn 011 the 2.1tl of Pcbrnarv, which was the day when the coach- masters dined at the White Hart Tavern. He was at the head of a mob, and hat! a large roll of paper in his Itand. This mob had large placards on a pole. They stood opposite the witness's house, and gave three cheers, l i e saw no persons- among the mob whom he could distinguish. He received a letter, si; in « - j " An Enemy to Intolerance," on Feb'. 26, 1818, by the post: it was a priuted letter. Witness employed about 10 or 50 10eu i.> his premises. Several of tbe defendants were at that time in hi) service; among them Daniel Vince, Richard Alder, John Carwardi ne, ami another; all of fbenv were smiths. The shop was agitated a little; but the men were in general attentive lo their duty. He docs not keep springmakers on his premises, but « ni ploys them through a master spi ingmaker. On the 14th of March, 1818, thero was a genera] strike among the springs; IK- found their shops shut up, . though iiecasionally a man was at work within them. lie weiitsevci. il weeks to the diflerent shops, and found them in the same state of inactivity. There was no stagnation in the trade at that period. He found no difficulty in getting springs himself, as hi'ssprmgniakei had sent him in a stock sufficient for his carriages.

Puuvis, at Portsmouth, from the Isle of France, advices are received of another dreadful hurricane having occurred there on the ' 23th and 29th of March, during which, considerable damage was done to the numerous shipping in the Imrboitri We copy the following from the Neto Yuri; Evening Pud of the 14th ult. ' I'lie National Intelligencer, adverting to it, does not contradict it, but only, " hopes that it will prove false and slanderous." This hope is simply borrowed from the New York Paper, . vhich adds, however, that they " have strong foreliodings to the contrary." Would such a monstrous proceeding be credited, for a moment, in England, even by the most sensitive patriot ? Yet, in a virtuous democracy— a lancl of public felicitythe exclusive abode of freedom— as it is called by those who love any country better than their own— these acts of military despotism are at least believed to be possible. " Re.[) ort states, that an order was recently issued in Florida, by Colonel KlVt;,* to put to instant death, without the delay or form of a trial, any deserter that was taken. That, in consequence, a party under the com inand of Lieutenant , went in pursuit of a man of this description, whom they overtook ; that they informed the prisoner of the nature of their orders, and their readi. HCES to execute tiiem. He firmly expostulated with the officer, demanded a trial, claiming his rights as a man and an American citizen ; but finding his expostulations vain, he knelt down and received the fatal bullet in his breast. - In arfother instance, it is reported that, in the Alabama territory,, a soldier was condemned by his ofheer, as a punishment for intoxication, to be ducked ; which was executed on the spot, and carried to that excess, that the man was literally drowned. This order was also issued without the form of trial. " At Greenbay, on the western side of Lake Michigan, the military, as the same report states, ha3 assumed a complete control over- the civil authority. Citizens have been taken up fbr real or pretended offcnccs, been tried by Courts Martial,' and the punishment of what is called _ pickcUing inflieteil upon them ; that is, by placing the culprits on four Wooden pins, drove firmly in the ground, with the points exposed above the ground a half or quarter of at) jjfif h : . oVcr these he is suspended by cords fastened to the thumbs, i( n( l when he can no longer sustain himself in the air, he must let his weight down on the pin." ~ * This is the gentleman to whom Gen. Jackson assigned the command of Pensacoia and its dependencies. We have this morning received the Paris Journals of Wednesday last. The Budget of Ways and MeanB has at length escaped from the Chamber of Deputies: it was voted on thepreeeding day, by a majority of 170 against five. The total receipts, authorised for tlic service of the present year, amounted to 891,1.35,000 francs ( 37,143,125/. sterling). The three financial projets, namely, the Ac- The Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bifl, and the Bill for regulating Commissions of Bankrupt, were last night thrown out in the llduse of Lords, simply on the ground, that there was not sufficient time to examine till the bearings of such important Acts; The I - O R D CIIASCF. LLORT, and Lord A U C K L A N D , both expressed their hope that some attempt would be made, cany in the ensuing Session, to consolidate the Bankrupt Laws into one Act, which would be of great public utility. We trust, also, tiiatsome genfcral measure of legislation upon tliis subject will be adopted, which may simplify the gystdtti altogether, and remove from it those temptations to perjury and fraud with which it is iuiiV encumbered. The machinery, moreover, is too complex, and its working too expensive. The estate of a bankrupt is very often consumed bv the legal process requisite to make it available for the benefit of his creditors. The Marquis of LAXSOOKN m> ved ah Address, last night, precisely similar in substance, to that which was brought forward by Mr. W T L B E R F O R C I I on the subject of the Slave Trade, and which we gave yestcrdavi It was unanimously agreed to. It appears, from an account that has beeti published in one of the Morning Papers, that another Meeting was held on Thursday last, under the auspices of the Duke of KENT, to promote the! schemes of Mr. OWF. N for turning England into one vast poor- house. A Resolution was proposed, and carried, for raising 100,000/. to be bill out' under ' t- lie direction of the Committee, and thiad . Meeting is appointed for the 19th of this . month, when the " subscriptions are to be received" and tlie proposed measure carried into effect. We are not very prone to play the prophet, but we are strongly deposed to believe that not one thousand out of the hundred, will ever be subscribed. We have two reasons for this opinion : first, the capital to be employed, will, assuredly, not be productively employed, with respect to those who advance it; and in the next place, were they disposed to bestow it as a charitable donation, ( for such in effect it would be), they must be sensible that there arc many much better modes of exercising their benevo lencc. Mr. ROWCROFT, indeed, is represented as hav g said, that " when once the plan was generally known and adopted, such would be the eagerness of individuals to forward the measure, that thera would not be paper enough in London to contain the najn. es of the subscribers and promoters of it/' Certainly, if tlie plan w ere generally adopted, it would have numerous promoters: but if it be first of all generally known, meaningby this phrase generally understood, weare afraidit would proves formidable obstacle to its general adoption. And here, we think it right to advert to a somewhat disingenuous proceeding on the part of those who are fostering tills dream. The names of respectable individuals have been put down in the list of the Committee, without their previous sanction, thus giving to the scheme an authority and importance which it docs not fairly possess. Two Hon. Memliers ofthe House of Commons ( Mr. R. W A R D , and Mr. STUIUIJCS B O U R S E ) complained of this gratuitous use of their names, when Sir W. de CTLESPTC.

THE MARLBOROUGH GOLD PLATE. Sir A R T H U R P I C U O T applied to the Court to order that the gold plate, pictures, statues, the diamond sword, a chronometer, and other articles, might be directed to be deposited in the offiec of Master Cox, by the Duke of Marll> oroii « li. The present application arose out of that made to the Lord Chancellor some time since, to which the Duke of Marlborough had as yet pnt in no answer. On that occasion an injunction had issued, restraining the defendants from disposing of the property, but that under the circumstances was not deemed sufficient security, as no answer had been put in. After a discussion of some length between Sir Arthur Piggot, Mr. Hart, Mr. Bt'U, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Wakefield, and Mr. Sidebotham, The VtCK- C 11A XC E1. LO it directed that tiie Duke of Marlborough should deliver up, to the persons appointed by the trustees, the keys of the library, in order that they might compare the property now at Blenheim with the inventory.

These Papers mention the deplorable accident which befel Madame BLANCIIARD, on her ascent in a balloon, and an account of which will be found in a letter we have received this morning from Paris. They state that the effect produced upon the company who witnessed it, was distressing even to agony. Manvfemales went into violent hysterics, and a general consternation prevailed. The amusements of the evening were immediately closed. A subscription for her family was set on foot at the doors of the garden, to which all contributed as they went out, It was understood the sums received for admission would be applied to the samq benevolent purpose. It is supposed that the artificial fire- works attached te the parachute having caught the branches of the trees in ascending, they became displaced, and thus caused the balloon to take fire.

We beg leave to draw the attention of our readers to the report of the trial of the journeymen coaehmakers and others connected with that trade, for a conspiracy. The wickedness of such combinations, and the danger attending them both to the employer and employed, is so manifest, that we sincerely rejoice in this check to their i progress; and trust that the present example will operate upon the minds of other workmen, and induce them to remain satisfied with a fair remuneration of their labour, and with regular employment, rather than be led away by the designing aud profligate, to the adoption of measures wburd the guilt is apparent, and the punishment certain. Yesterday Viscount C A S T L E R E A C . H had an audience of the P R I N C E RECENT, at Carlton Hous^. Prince L E O P O L D returned to town from Windsor, on Thursday night. Yesterday his Royal Highness visited the Duke and Duchess of KENT, at Kensington Pa| alrc. In the evening his Royal Highness had a numerous patty to dinner, at Marlborough House. Lately a Privy Council was held at the Treasury- chambers, presided over by Lord HARROWBY, and consisting The following is an extract of a private letter from Florence, dated June 20, 1819 :— " You will expect me to say something of the public characters that I have seen or heard of in the course of my travels. Few of these latter are iilore likely to be objects of interest to yourself or your readers than the Princess of W A L E S and Lord B Y R O N ; and of both I have heard much, and the following particulars, you may rely on as being perfectly authentic :— " The Princess of W A L E S lias grown extremely large and corpulcnt. She has recovered from the shock of her incomparable daughter s death, but it affeeted her powerfully at the time. Apart from all political considerations, the circumstances under which she received the news were enough to produce the most painful effect on her feelings. On the arrival of the courier, there was no confidential person near her who understood the English language, gnd in the hope of finding very different information, she herself opened the letter, wluch conveved the. fatal intelligence. She fainted, and was ill for a length of time afterward. At present she resides at Pesaro, a small town, not - far from Ancona. Her suite and establishment are not on the grandest scale. Young AUSTIN, the boy whom the Princess adopted, is grown a fine handsome voting man. The Princess has now taken a fancy to another child, tliq son of a peasant, of whom she is said to be equally fond. He goes with Jier everywhere. Her chief amusement is the opera, which she almost entirely supports. The custorti of Italy, is generally to hire your box for one opqra, which, is played successively for a tHtmber of nights; and when a new one is performed, you pay again for it. The Princess has had the operas frequently changed, and they say that it. costs her from five to eight thousand pounds a year. " The residence of the Princess is not far from the sea but there is no view of it, owing to a hill or small mountain which rises between. She has been visited by several of the German and Italian Princes', and one of the Archdukes paid her a visit lately* " Lord B Y R O N still continues to reside at Venice, : plate, one should think, in some respects, not much suited to his habits, except his indolent one. A man who is so fond of equestrian exercise would hardly - fcave been exacted to choose Venice for his abode, where there is no stirring a step but iu a gondola along a narrow canal. Lord BYRON, however, not only keeps horses, but continues to ride, for there is a barren sandy spot of small extent, where he gallops backwards and forwards for three or four hours every day. Few, vctr few persons, whether Venetians or his own countrymen, arc suffered to enter his house. His usual plan of seeing coinpauv is in his box at the opera, to which he resorts every evening. He passes his time in great indolcncc, except as to riding. He rises very late, breakfasts, rides till dusk, dines, goes to the opera, returns home, and goes to bed. This plan is sel- - dom broken in upon, but when interrupted by a favoured visitor— such as the bookseller, —. , who rj p. irdent B O Y E R is arrived at Paris, and that he is bearer of d ' f * L o r d King's Bench, conciliatory proposals relative to the part of St. Domingo 1 a n d C ° , m , , ° " 1 * * the L ° r d Bar° " t,, c under his government.

THE CRIMINAL LAW Si We have already adverted to the Report laid Upon the table of the House « f Commons l> y Sir J. Mackintosh, from the Committee appointed to inquire into otir Criminal Code. Among the various important and curious documents which it contains is one by Mr. Knapp, the Deputy Clerk of Assize on the Home Circuit. This gentleman, by dint of persverin^ research, was enabled to draw up comparative tables of Crimes and Punishments on that Circuit for three separate periods of thirty years cach; v*. from 1689 to 1718, from 1755 to 1784, and from 1785 to 1814. In the very first year of the first series the convictions for murdef Were no less than 22, and the executions 18. In 1696ij there were 2 0 convictions for this crime arid 15 executions; whereas in the whole 30 ycafs ending with 1814, the convictions were ouly 54, and the executions 44 ; although the population in the meanwhile had probably been doubled ; so that the two latter numbers should lie halved in order to make a fair comparison: and then the estimate would stand thn6 s—• Confrlctitftij Exeeutions. In the 9 years 1689 and 1696 n. 42:.;.,..;;..;;;...; 33 In 30years from 1784to 18H... ... n... 27 i;;.. S « It is true, as we have observed, that some other offence ® have been comparatively more tnimel'ods in later times S vet by no means so much so, as may have been conceived; Thu3 including all the capital'convictions and executions which took place on the Horue Circuit during the thres periods respectively, the following will lie the average annual numbers:— Convicted Executed. From 1689 to 1718 .. 38 „.. 20 1755— 17* 4.. ..- Mi. „ . . „ . . ' . . - . . - . . « 1785... 181*...,,, 74... .............. 10 The capital convictions, then, have not doubled, though the population has ; and as tt> the executions they arc actually fewer now than in tile reigns of Kirig William and Queen Ann*. This last circumstance completely does away the reproach corttfnonlv urged Against our legislation, namely, that it has become more sanguinary in proportion; as'civilization has advanced. It is true that the classification of crimes has heen altered ; and that capital offences, instead of being arranged imder 20 heads as they were at tlie first period, now extend to 3 1 : but it is on the number of lives taken away that the sanguinary character of the law really depends, and that number wa* relatively more than twice as g « eat tit former times than natr*.',' The average annual number of commitments present* nearly the same results as that of the capital convictions: During thetirst period it WW - 897 second - • 881 tilled - - 521 It must lie remembered that the Ust period hag been marked by a rapid increase not only of the population but also of the riches of the country, whilst on the other hand tfifc pernicious effect of the Poor Laws has, from various circumstances in our recent history, been brought into more extensive operation. Adverting to these and many other points-. which will readily suggest themselves to a reflecting mind, it is easy to see that crimes haw not increased with that frightful progression which we had been led to apprehend.'

It rises as soon as the fixed stars, and may be observed to advantage for a considerable time before the moon has dimmed its blaze by the superior volume of Iter light. The tail seemed last night once more perpendicular, and, together with the nuelcus, flashed forth at times with very unequal brilliancy. At one moment it grew very pale and. faint, aud the next emitted vivid corruscations. These alterations are no doubt produced by the accidents of our atmosphere, and not by any peculiarities of this Comet. From ccrtain indications, connected with an apparent alteration in ifs course, it is thought that it will remain longer within otir hemisphere than had lieen originally anticipated. P R I C E OF BUT.

On Suudav last the town of Dereham was visited with thp most awfiil storm of hail, accompanied with thunder and lightning, ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant. It commenced at two o'clock, and continued with little intermission till near four, with dreadful violence. The pieces of ice which tell during that time weighed from one to two Ounces, causing devastation iu tlie fields and gardens within the circumference of their fury. There is scarcely a house in the town that escaped without the loss of several panes of glass ; and those premises in more exposed situations have individually sustained damages in broken glass, amounting from twenty to thirty pounds. At Reepham aqd the neighbouring villages the immense piece of ice which fell have done considerable damage to the hot- lionses of W » t. BIRC- HAM, Esq. Sir R. P .

Witness said, " I suppose you will bring zne sofk- ty- men; it is therefore only fair to tell you, that I have discharged all my men who are so." He said that, if he brought any, he certainly should bring society- men ; it would be impossible to get any other who were good for any thing; that the men were worse than ever, and that they had all determined not to go to work on the old terms. He observed, that it was a pity that things could not be settled, and that a shop like witncs. se s should stand still, when . Mr. Hodsou was doing so much, and going on so Well. He gave witness his address, aud wrote down where the witness might . send to hiin. When Winilover came to hirn, he liad discharged his men. On Saturday,- the ISth April, he had had a long conversation with the " four defendants whom he had named before. Anticipating that that conversation might he of consequence, he had taken memorandums of what occurred in it. It was about two o'clock when the m< Sn were waitirig for the bell to go to work. Witness went to them: Kfannau came in after the conversation had commenced. Witness, had previously had some slight conversation with his men on the subject. Witness ( ook down what occurred then, t i e had had conversation with his men about Connell before he had stated that Connell had not belonged to their society. William Hopkinson, the plaintiff's brother, began the conference by saying " How do you know the requests are granted?" " Why, replied Carwartline, because it is in the pager." Witness's brother said " Why you can't read, so how do you know that?" Brannau, the- defendant, Said,' that he had learnt it at the public- house at the corner, meaning a house close by. Some of the men acknowledged that they had absented themselves on Wednesday afternodtl to attend the journeymen's ineetingat Chalk- farm. Vince, Alder, and Langshaw were there. Witness said, " You say that you don't know that Connell has any thing to do with your society." " Not that I know of," was the reply of all of them. As they had been in a disturbed state, aud likely to quit witness's employ, witness asked them what alterations they wanted? Brennon said they must have two hours taken off their work; Vince sa'id they must have three; and Carwardine said they must have all Jhc other things they asked for. The men then said " Y'cs," seemed much elated, and held up their hands. Witness then said, '*' We flow tell you that we will not comply, and, at the same time, desire that you will not quit our employ. We do not intend to discharge you, but desire you will continue on your old terms. Go to work, and think no more of what has passed." They went to work accordingly. Witness and his brother anticipated • that all the men would leave them. -. Witness's brother turned round to Vince, and said, " Darnel, why do vou leavous?" 1 leave you," he replied, -- on circumstances,' Alder was there at this time, and also when the men said, " It's a damned shame to turn old Vince out of the shop— we, however, can discharge ourselves."

QSOROS FREDERICK STRATTOtf, ESQ. I Mr. GASEI. EE stated this case to the Jury. It was an action M recover 2,310/., which the plaintiff, an Admiral in the Navy, had S'ven in 1807 to . Hardaere, New- road, Marylebone, under e folloiyingcircumstances:— Admiral Hamilton had patronized Mr. Harda'cre, who, through his interest, from a midshipman be- 1 came a Lieutenant in. the Navy. Mr. Hardacre thought he had discovered a medicine which would prove a specific for curing the yellow fever, and had succeeded in establishing an arrangement for disposing of this medicine in the West Indies. The concern was divided into 80 shares, of which Mr. Hardacre was; to have 39. Admiral Hamilton gave the sum of 2,100/. for one share, under a deed, by which the Admiral was to have his option to retain his share, or to get back his money with interest for two years, at anv time after two years should have elapsed. The defendant, Mr. Stratton, of New- park, Oxfordshire, became joint suroty with Mr. Hardacre in thisdeed. Admiral Hamiltou did not make his opposition till 1817, when regular notices were delivered to Mr. Hardacrc and to the defendant. Mr. Hardacre having become bankrupt, tile present action was brought- to recover the original sum, and the interest for two years. 2,310/. from Mf . Stkatton. I'he deed having been admitted on the other side, he shoulil only have to put it in to be read. The deed was read accordingly; all, excapting the names of the several persons concerned, which Mr. Scarlett, Counsel for the defendant, did not wish to be divulged. Win. Stephen Young proved that he had delivered notice of Admiral Hamilton's option to the defendant on tho 28th of May, 1817, and to Mr. Hardacre, on the 30th Nov. 1817. Mr. GASELEE said, this was his ease. Mr. SCARLETT, for the defendant, stated it was by the plaintifFs recommendation that the defendant had first become acquainted with Mr. Hardacre, who had set up t h e preposterous pretension that he had discovered a specific for the yellow fever, by means fas absurd as had ever entered a visionary's head. Admiral Hamilton had only affected to give 2,100/. for a share in this concern ; he had never'given the money. It was, therefore, a fraud upon the defendant. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that this plea was inadmissible. The deed" was admitted, and no plea of fraud had been put upon the record. Mr. SCARLETT.— If fraud could not be pleaded now, payment could. The plaintiff was to have made his option after two years; lie had not taken his share, he was too cunning to do that; therefore it was to be presumed that he had received payment, or it was lo be held that by givfng further credit to the principal he had discharged the surety. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, that he had not, unless he had disaabled himself from suing. He might have made his option at the cad of two years, or afterwards. Mr. SCARLETT.—- But there was a letterfrom the plaintiff to the defendant in 1812, in which he claimed only 1,360/. He had in fact kept a running account with Mr. Hardacre up to that time, and received payment of 1,040/., in bad bills of course, but in such a way as to preclude him at least from claiming more than 1,3<> 0/ from the ( defendant. He had, besides, proved only 1,150/. unde Mr. Hardacre's commission of bankruptcy. . Here a proposal to arrange matters was made, and Mr. Scarlett's offer of 1,4501,, including interest, was accepted. Mr. GASELEE bogged to mention, in reference to what had been said of the. plaintiff s anxiety to give a sanction to this medicine, that such hail been the value attached to it by the defendant, that he had bound Mr. Hardacre not to sell a single share without leave from him. The CHIEI JUSTICE remarked, that each party was now naturally anxious to di& laim a foolish project. . IALE8 OFE& TATES.

The . price of carriages had not advanced sinco the peace, ' y S . GitawEY bore interposed, and said, that he did not see how this evidence could be made applicable to the case. Mr. MARRYAT maintained that it was applicable; and Mr. SCARLETT said, it was necessary to see which of the two conspiracies—— The. LORD CHIEF JUSTICE here indulged in a smile, which - cansSd Scarlett to sit down. Witness continued. He never made a general reduction in his wages- l i e had reduced ope man from 28s. to 26s. a week, and liidJexplained the circumstances in the Times of the 23d Feb. 18161- [ The paper was here put in and read.] A Committee of Master- Coachmakers was appointed at a meeting of sixty Master CoachtnaKers.

( fross- oSamnicd by Mr. DBSMAN— He first saw Connell in 1310. Connell called upon him " twice or thrice that year. He invited witness to. meet him and the other journeymen at the l- reemasDiisl- tavern, but witness never would consent to it. Connell mentioned, that he had waited upon several coach- inokers on - itnTsame subject. Did not recollect having written a letter to ' Copnell, refusing to meet him at that hour; but, on hearing the I letter read, he said, he had a slight recollection of having replied to iiitne no'te,' but^ ertainly he never attended any meeting. He rceoTlected' a paper signed " Wm.

( These two papers were then . put in and read. ) Re- examined by Mr, G'JRNEY.— The meeting held on the 9th of March in consequence, of the letter signed " An Enemy to lutai'jrfincc." The Cominictea was formed to prosecute those whom - yye conceived to be offenders, against whom- we wished to proceed b" y alt legal means in our power in order to counteract the mea- Aurai tfluded to folbe letter befort- mcntioncd.

Mr,. S c a r l e t t suggested, on behalf of his clients, whether it w. attfd. liot he, requisite to show that all the defendants were parties to the regulations. Mr-- GvnNEY said, that if he could not show that they were all ineicijers of that particular society, he would pledge himself to prove that they were all in connexion with Connell. "' . Mr- SCARLETT did not stand up for the propriety pf such com- : ' b'nations; he had long thought that even Friendly Societies had : '• frequently deviated from their original purpose into mischievous • associations, in this particulgrcase. if lenity were extended to his clr6nts;: they would submit to a verdict of guilty. .. ..

Mr. MARR? AT consented on behalf of his clients. Mr. DENMAN said, he had no , wish to waste the time of the Court. He felt that a verdict of guilty must be pronounced against Connell; but he hoped that lenity might be extended to him'.' T h e LORD CHIEF JUSTICE t o ld M r .

Bow - STREET.— Yesterday morning, between one and two- o'clock, as Izard, one of the patrol belonging to the office, was passing Mttswell- hill, he met a horse and cart, with two men in the cart: observing four sheep therein, and not perceiving any nan*?, number, or residence on the cart, he suspected it to be disfigured, and that the men in the cart were sheepstealors: he in consequence drew his cutlass, informed the men who he was, and ordered them to surrender. lie entered the cart, searched the men, and found in one of their pockets a till plate, with a name and address, which he seized! They insisted on having it again, and he refusing to return it, they vowed revenge, and after much resistance wrested his cutlass from him ; they proceeded to treat him in the most harbarousmanner, anil probably would have murdered him, but his cries for assistance were heard by another of his party of the patrol, who was at Hornsev- bridge at the time, and who ran with all possible speed to his assistance. On his arrival at the spot, however, he found the villains had run off, leaving the horse and cart, with the sheep in it. Izard was speechless throughout yesterday. The tin- plate has not led to the discovery of the villains. Several persons wers convicted of following their lawful callings on the Lord's day, by selling fruit in Covent Gardeu Market: Aie of the cases was of a novel nature, being that of the grower of slrawberries, for sending them to market for sale on Sunday. He pleaded that lie had neither sold nor bought; however, it Was held to be following his lawful calling by sending the strawberries for sale. He requested to know ivhat he must do with the fruit that was perishing on the ground? He was informed the Act of Parliament of King Charles the Second made no provision for such a case. The parish officers who attended said, they were determined to put an end to the practice by a more summary mode, as they intended to seize all the fruit and vegetables which were exposed to sale next Sunday, CONSOLIDATION' OF THF.
