The Tilamiffacturing districts are - in a state ofyhpi'ece- dented activity; numerous fiictoKes ara- rearing, and some thousands of cottages have, within a short period, sprung up for the accommodation of'the increasing number of arti- sans. The shipping interest also, which for some timewas in a most distressed state, is now comparatively flourishing; good vessels are in demand, and are becoming scarce; our dock quays are crowded with goods for export; and life and activity pervade all the marine departments. The tonnage of this port, for the last year, exceeded that of. the prece- ding year by 53,054 tons'; and there is every probability that this year will exhibit a considerable increase.— Liv. Pa. M. Ulrick Schenk, of Berne, has invented a new species of fire- engiue, which he calls a pump aspirant. This machine is so constructed, that, placed in any running water or basin, it readily imbibes amass oftfater so considerable, as to keep up without interruption a jet rising to the height of 120 feet, and to feed two ordinary pumps or engines at the same time. The quantity of contraband goods which have beon landed on the Sussex coast, since old Michaelmas, is incredible. An old smuggler, who has declined business, estimates their value at 2- 50,000/.!

The manner in which the eagle will sometimes attack oxen in Heligoland is very singular. It plunges itself into the waves, and after being completely drenched, rolls itself on the shore, till its wings are quite covered with sand. It then rises into the air and hovers over its. victim. When close to it, it shakes its wings and throws stones and, sand into the eyes of the ox, while it completes the terror of the animal by blows with its powerful wings. The blinded ox runs about quite raving, and at length tallsdownwhollvexhausted, or dashes itself to death by falling from some cliff. The ea- gle then mangles, undisturbed the fruits of his victory. Constables', by the late Vagrant Act, incur a penalty of 20J. if they suffer gypsies, or other vagabonds, to encamp on the waste grounds of their respective parishes. To say at any game six love, or n'vr. e love, means six to none, or nine to none. Why ?-— The following has been given asthe solution :— The expression may have come either from Scot- land or Holland. Luff, in- old Scotch, is the hand : so that six luff will mean six in hand, or more than the adversary, when he has nothing on his score. Loaf, in Dutch, whence we have our word loof, and to loaf, is the weather- gage; and, in this case, six / co/' will imply six upon the weather- gage, or to advantage, as really it is, when the antagonist is nothing. — Literary Chronicle. Thursday last, Bristol cattle- market was thrown into con- fusion, by one of those disgraceful scenes, which we have so often had occasion to notice. About eleven o'clock, a married woman was brought into the market, and offered for sale, amidst the coarse remarks of tha assembled crowd.

THE intelligence received by Express from France to- dav, of Sunday's date, is equally unimportant with " that which has arrived during thetast week. Advices from Gerona state, that Mina, instead of being blockaded in Barcelona, had contrived to steal a inarch, by night, upon Generals Donnadieu and d'Eroles, and to make an attack upon Vich, with a force of 4,000 men. The farrison of Vich is represented as having amounted to only 00 men, French and Spanish ; but they repulsed their as- sailants with a loss which seems somewhat incredible, where there was such a disparity of numerical strength. Mini, it as added, was severely wounded ill this action, which accele- rated its termination. It is now confirmed, by Gen. Guillsminot's dispatch, that Abisbal did send proposals to the Duke d'Angouleme, the object of which was to arrange ' the surrender of the capital in such a manner as might prevent any tumult or useless • conflict Unfortunately this object was defeated by the, im- prudent conduct of Bessieres, a Royalist Chief, who, though apprized of what had been agreed upon, persisted in his en- deavour to have the several gates of the city delivered up to him and his troops. A part of the latter having penetrated to the centre of Madrid, a skirmish took place between them and the cavalry of the Constitutionalists commanded by Gen. Zayas, and Bessieres lost 100 prisoners, besides about 40 of the inhabitants who had taken part with him and were killed. This act of imprudence, for such, under all the circumstances, it unquestionably was, produced the only scene of confusion, which seems to have either preceded or accompanied the en- trance of the French army into Madrid. The first act of the Duke d'Angouleme on entering Ma- drid, was to invoke the Council of Castile, by which a Junta of Regency was elected, consisting of the five following per- sons:— The Duke del Infantado, the Duke de Montemar, the Bishop of Osma, the Baron d'Eroles, and M. Calderon. Oil the 23d, the Duke d'Angnuleme issued a proclama- tion at Alcobendas. The despotic tone of this document is singularly opposed to the mild temper of that issued by him on 7th April. This variance has been not without reason, we fear, ascribed to the facility with which the French have advanced into the heart of the kingdom. We have received a Charleston Courier of the 5th ult. from which we extract the following statement respecting the brief Emperorship of the adventurer Iturbide :—" By the Cathe- rine, in five days from Havannah, we have the Gazettes of that place to the 23th ult. which contain several official ar- ticles from Mexico, confirming our former advices of the ab- dication of the Emperor Iturbide. It appears that he was desirous of settling his domestic affairs, and retiring to Ja- maica, but his request was refused; and it was reported, when the Catherine sailed, that he had been poisoned; and his fa- mily thrown into prison 1" The King of Prussia has given the 3d regiment of Hus- sars to the Duke of Cumberland.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, wi'hin the Berkeley andDursley Division of- Roads, in tiie county of of entire recovery from the late attacks, were perceived, so much so, that Col. Stephenson, within these few days, has bscn down to Windsor, to see that'every thing was ready at the Cottage, for the immediate reception of his Majesty. Unfortunately, however, in ihe course of Friday and Satur- day, there was a return of indisposition, which will probably delay the Royal departure. It is proposed to erect a colossal Equestrian Statue, op- posite Buckingham- house, in honour of his present Majesty. It appears from Parliamentary papers relating to the trade, navigation and commerce of the United Kingdom during each of the three years ending otb January , 1821,1852, and 1823, that our foreign trad? is greatly on the increase; and that our exports of domestic manufactures have increased more than 3 J millions within the last year; this is the surest test of our commercial prosperity. Our exports are neces- sarily made up of the principal manufactures of the country: our " cotton, woollens, hardware, linen, silk, & c. They be- come, therefore, an indubitable test of our internal wealth and prosperity, of the activity of our manufacturers, and the industry of the people. By thei' quarterly average prices, published in the Gazette on Saturday, the ports are now onen to the admission of bar- ley and oats from the British Colonies in North America at the high duties; and if there be any oats from thence under " bond, warehoused previous to, the lith . of May, 1822, the same are now admissible duty free, The Glasgow frigate, having on board the Marquis of Hastings, from Bengal, arrived at Genoa on the 22d tilt. The Thistle, 10 guns, Capt. Hagan, just arrived from the Coast of Africa, captured and released from slavery upwards of 4000 victims of that outrage to humanity, the Slave Trade, whom Capt. H. has had the satisfaction of bringing within reach of the blessings of British freedom and Christian ci- vilization. The other ships on the station had ( previous to the This- tle's departure) also been very successful. The Driver, Capt. T. Wolrige, captured two vessels, with 400 slaves; the Cy- rene, Capt. Grace, two, with 200; the Bann, Capt. Phillipps, six, with 800; and the Snapper, Lieut. Rothery, 120. Such is now the facility of manning the smallest class men of war at Portsmouth, that the Jasper, of 10 guns, Capt. Arbuthnot, had seventy men, out of lier complement of se- venty- five, 011 her victualling list, in ten days after she was in commission, and these are able seamen. The diving- bell, recently employed in Plymouth Sound, under the superintendence of Mr. Sidley, King's Harbour- master, has been removed to Portsmouth, after having ren- dered the most essential service to the above anchorage. During its operation in the Sound, two rocky ledges have been reduced— 0110 nearly ten feet, and the other six feet, so as to admit of line- o.'- battle ships sailing over at all times of tide, besides affording about 200 yards more room in that part, for large ships to work in and out. The quantity of stone taken off the above- mentioned shoal3 exceeds 450 tons, and the cold and cheerless winter months have not pre- vented the work from being persevered in. The Committee in London, which is now so laudably pro- moting subscriptions throughout the kingdom, in behalf of the oppressed Greeks, has published accounts from Greece, describing affairs there as highly favourable to the attain- ment of independence. The Turkish forces are greatly re- duced, aud those remaining are paralysed from want of mo- ney, of which none can be got from Constantinople. The Greeks are occupied with their elections, and in giving con- sistency to their own Government. Their fleet, after greatly benefiting tho cause on the coasts, had sailed to the Helles- pont, to encounter tiie Turkish fleet when it shall sail. On land, the citadel of Corinth is reduced to extremity. Monday a numerous Meeting of the English Catholics took place at Freemasons* Tavern, the Duke of Norfolk in the chair. Among those present were, the Earl of Shrews- bury, the Hon. Mr. Petre, Sir George Jerningham, Mr. Butler, and several of the most respectable of the Catholic Clergy Mr. Petre, after some observations upon the claims of the' Catholics, and the privations which, notwithstanding the progress of civilization, they still endured, moved that an Association he formed, for the future regulation and management of tho affairs of the body, with the view to at- tain the above- mentioned object— Mr. Loughnam seconded the motion, which, alter some conversation, was carried unanimously. By this resolution, those lay Catholics who subscribe a guinea annually become members of'the Asso- ciation, and the Catholic clergy become members without subscription. , Same day a numerous Meeting of the Society for the Im provement of Prison Discipline took place at the Freema. sons' Tavern, his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester in the chair. Saml. Hoare, jun. Esq read the Report, which stated many deplorable instances of misery in prisons which were not regulated according to the plan of the Society, whose efforts had been highly beneficial wherever they had been fairly exerted. Earl Grosvenor, Lord Calthorpe, Sir off the Phillippina Island, near Cuba, 011 which we immediately made all sail in chase, and at one P. M. being then about two miles from her, she hoisted a red flag forward, and a white one at the main, having the bust of a black man, with marrow bones ; and soon after commenced a very heavy lire 011 us from two long 18 and 12- pounders 011 pivots, and six short 9- pounders, all brought over to one side, aided by a great number of musketry. The G re- cian, as she approached the p rate, commenced action with round and grape shot, and continued it vigorously for about thirty mi- nutes, when she took the ground in two fathoms water, about half- musket shot from the pirate, and a short time after the latter blew up with a tremendous explosion. The Grecian's boats at this time being manned for the purpose of carrying tile pirate by boarding, instantly put ofT,— The crew of the piratical yesecl hav- ing left in their boats, were pushing for the shore, distant about half a cable's length, and had landed but afewminutes and formed, when our boats reached the spot. A most desperate conflict now took place, which lasted but a short time, when the pirates fled in all directions, having had thirty killed and wounded, and leav- ing live prisoners in our hands, two of whom are since dead of their wounds. The schooner was called La Gata, of about 100 tons, commanded by a notorious pirate, called Joseph Sabina, with a complement of 00 men ; sh e had in company with her a felucca, with 4 carriage guns, and 27 stand of arms, with two other boats, each mounting a swivel and 24 muskets, the whole of which force was brought to bear upon the Grecian during the action. The schooncr had on board a very valuable cargo of plunder, which was unfortunately desttoyc- d by the explosion, or thro' ne- cessity afterwards, except five bales of indigo. The vessel also was destroyed. This vessel had been employed for a considerable time in the work of death and plunder, the crew haviiig shared no less than 3000 dollars per man for the last cruise. The Grecian, commanded by Lieut. John Cawley, had hut ten six- pounders, with a crew of forty- six men and four boys ; her loss is very small, having had but two men wounded, but her rigging and spars very much cut up. It appears the pirates had an establishment and connexions on shore, as about thirty horses were found ready equipped to favour their escape." ' f'he Gloucester, Phaeton, Tync, and Thracian, arrived- at Ja- maica on the 9th of April; the two latter carried in with thern the beautiful schooner Zaiagozana, of 14 guns and 80 men, cap- tured by the boats of the Thracian and Tyne. The pirates had 10 killed, 15 wour. ded, 16 taken by the Spaniards, and 23 taken to Port Royal, for trial. The Thraci& ii had 2 men killed and 2 wounded; the Tyne 2 wounded. HORRIBLE OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.— At noon, on the 26th ult. a party of armcdiuen forcibly entered the house of John M'Keon, near Dublin, whom they knocked down with a pistol, and while on the ground several of the ruffians severely wounded him. His wife during this time lay paralyzed with terror, and when the savages had for a moment quitted the room, sue placed ' the bleeding body of her husband on the bed ; this one of'the party perceiving, he with more than even the usual brutality which marks the conduct of the fiends who at present defy all law, both human and divine, in this country, violated the. wife in ihe presence of her husband ! The monsters afterwards heaped hay and straw upon the fire, and having scattered the burning embers over the thatch, so as to make their vengeance secure, they depart- ed, one of tiie gang first stating to the family, that he had come forty miles to visit them. The only reason that can be assigned for this attack upon M- it con's family is, his having prosecuted a person :< ome time since to conviction, for killing liis cow. Three persons have been taken into custody ; and one named Kilbride has been identified by the wife, as the savage who committed the brutal outrage upon her. On the 1st ult. Mr. T. Hill, a respectable farmer, residing at Greenrnount, was assaulted in the fair of Kilteel, in Kildare, and from the ill- treatment he received, died on the evening of the fol- lowing day. Thirteen persons have since been committed on the Coroner's warrant for the murder. The cause assigned for this murder is, that the deceased was declared. tenant hy liis landlord Mr. Greene, to a farm adjoining one he had resided on, in pre- ference to the former tena . ts, who were deceased's relatives. ' This young Gentleman . was waylaid and murdered within sight of his own house, and at the door of his own relative !! BALLOON ASCENT.— Mr. Green ascended with his bal- loon from the gardens of the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, at fif- teen minutes before eight o'clock last night, and landed safely at twenty . minutes past eight, in a clover field belonging to Mr. Stains, a farmer at Nolte End, about four miles, in a northward direction, beyond Romford, Essex.— Mr. Green passed over lip- ping Forest, the Marshes, and Birkenside. The evening being very fine, the balloon was in sight of the metropolis till it descend- ed. Mr. Green, in an account of his voyage, states, that the ap- pt arance of the sun fitting was beautiful beyolid all description, and that some of the clouds underneath him resembled a vapour, the colour Vermillion, while others were variegated with all the tints of the rainbow. He ascended in height miles, and the cold was so intense that his fingers were paralysed. He arrived at the Mermaid, Hackney, with his balloon, at three this morning. EXTRAORDINARY STEUD.— A match against time was decided on Lansdown, on Friday morning. A pony, the pro- perty of Mr. Edw. Wilson, butcher, of Widccmbe, was matched to gallop five miles in 15 minutes, which he accomplished with case in 12 minutes 29 seconds !

It is administered with equal suc- cess in all attacks of Measles, St. Anthony's I-' ire, Sore Throat, Pleurisy, and Rhenmatism ; but as Colds and Catarrhs partake more or less of inflammatory symptoms, this Powocr is pecu- liarly efficacious in cutting short their duration ; which however harmless they may be thought, often terminate in Pulmonary Affections the fatal consequences of which are but too well known.

The Spanish Grandees, says a telegraphic espatch, have presented an address of adherence and ielici- ition to the Due d'Angouleme.

The celebrated Marshal Davoust, Prince of Eckmuhl, died a Paris on the 1st inst. of a pulmonary complaint. A letter from Madrid of the 30th ult. states that thelte- ency had been formally installed, and that their first act ras to appoint a new Ministry. Thus then, the . anomaly is reated ol a duplicate Government, exercising co- ordinate unetions; and we have now only to wait and see how the iiachinery will work. The late genial showers have been so beneficial to the gar ens, that green peas, which but a little month since were !. a peck, were yesterday at the reduced price of 2s. at se- • eral markets in the Metropolis. Last week, two fishermen of Polperro caught ( whilst it ras sleeping) on the water, a fine bird called the Great Nor- hern Diver, Loon Imbrim, or Embergoose, beautifully spot- ed, weighing 15 lbs. They sold the bird to a person of Lis- ; eard, in whose possession it is now alive, he having fed it on aw beef. Committed to Lancaster Castle, F. N.

( A fire broke out on Monday night, about twelve o'clock, n the King's Head public- house, White Lion- street, Seven ) ials, by which it was completely destroyed, and the two lext adjoining houses were much damaged. The inmates lad all retired to bed; the fire was first perceived by the leople passing, by whom the door was broken open; but such iras the alarm of those within, that a tailor, named Macna- oara, a lodger in the two- pair of stairs back room, rushed nto the front room, and calling out to the people in the street, hrew a bed and a sheet to them, by which they safely re- eived in succession three of his children and his wife, as iie hrew them from the window ; but, in attempting to follow hem, the. unfortunate man broke his arm and thigh. He was emoved with all speed and care to an hospital. We under- tand no part of the property was insured, and both the land- ord and his unfortunate lodger are in poor circumstances, [' he fire was got under in little more than two hours. DUEL On Tuesday, an affair of honour took place on lounslow Heath, between Capt. D. and Capt. S. both of the in- antry, and veteians who distinguished themselves in the Penin- ula. Some differences existed between them in consequence of ti alleged insult offered by Capt. S. to a member of Capt. D.' s fa- nily. Each being accompanied by a friend and a surgeon, they epV. red to Hounslow, and on the first fire Capt. S.' s ball hit his ntagonist upon the upper part of his hat, but did him no injury, [' he seconds endeavoured in vain to bring about a reconciliation, nd Capt. S. received the ball of his antagonist in the fleshy part > 1' his thigh, on the second fire. The seconds now positively re- used to remain any longer, and they all left the ground without oming to an amicable adjustment. ELOPEIIEN T— On the afternoon of the 28th ult. two sis- ers, daughters of a gentleman in Merionethshire, who were on a • isit in the neighbourhood of Wolverhampton, eloped from thence 11 a carriage and four, with two gentlemen, said to be officers in he army, who had been seen about several times during the week, ind who were on the night preceding at the New Hotel, one of hem disguised as a sailor. In a few hours, pursuit was made af- er the fugitives, who are supposed to have gone for Scotland, as ar as Newcastle- under- Lyme, when it was found to be ineffec- • ual; but on Tuesday last, a letter arrived from one of the par- ies, bearing the post mark and date of Whitehaven. WHOLESALE SHEEPSTEALING On Tuesday night, two men drove a cart to the side of an inclosurc in Mark Moor, Somerset, where there were a number of sheep and lambs. They : aught four of the latter and one wether sheep, and having placed : hem in the cart, drove off; but some men who were catching ' ol. s in the neighbourhood having watched the thieves, hailed them, ivhen they hastily left the horse and cart, together with their booty, md a knife, a steel, a pocket- book, and a pair of steel- yards. One JI the plunderers was known, the other was not known, but the ' art was marked " James Sharp, Runkerton." A few nights since a farmer of the same parish had six valuable sheep stolen, most probably by the same persons. BOW- STREET— On Tuesday, Byrnc, the person who was i0 cruelly flogged at the prosecution of a since degraded Prelate, preferred a complaint against the Ex- Sheriff, Mr. Parkins. Byrne stated that he had come to London under the patronage of Mr. Parkins, who had promised that a subscription should be raised For him ( Byrne); and that the subscription so raised, amounted to 1.; 1I. Mr. Pa rkins, however, having obtained possession of the money, was willing to retain it, and Byrne, after repeated appli- cations, had only received CO;. Sir R. Birnie, said, that this was a very hard case, but it was not one in which a Magistrate could interfere. Charge of Arson.^ Gottie had yesterday a final bearing on the charge ( if setting fire to bis house. T, Baker deposed, that he was a dealer in coals in White cross- street, and remembers the fire. He ran out at the first alarm, but there was then no fire to be seen from the street. Going through Shrewsbury- court he saw the prisoner with a trunk in his hand, and asked him where the fire was, and he replied, " Hush, hush, don't say any thing." Witness soon afterwards saw Mr. and Mrs. Gibbs escape from the window. The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE Hariet Cooper, a girl, ten years of age, committed self- destruction, at Rowley liegis, by hanging herself, a few days ago, with a pair of braces. Tile unfor- tunate ciiiid bad purloined a trifling chimney- ornament from her grandmother; and the detection of the theft, and a gentle reproof for it from her mother, is the cause assigned for the rasli act. The Jury returned a verdict— that the deceased hung herself, being un- der the years of discretion. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. Alderman Wood said, seeing the worthy Chairman of the Somerset Quarter Sessions in his place, he wished to ask him, whe- ther any steps respecting the removal of Ilchester Gaol, as recom- mended in the Report of last Session, had been taken by the Ma- gistrates— Mr. Dickenson said, he could give no satisfactory an- swer on the subject. Some steps had been taken to carry the re- commendation contained in the Report into effect; but they had been rendered nugatory by a measure adopted by that House. FOREIGN WOOL— Lord Milton presented a Petition from the Merchants and Manufacturers of Leeds, in favour of the repeal of the Duty on Foreign Wool. In presenting this Petition he was bound to acknowledge, that these individuals bad, during the last twelve months, been enjoying a considerable portion of prosperity, but this prosperity was as much the result of the repeal of Taxa- tion as any other; and he hoped, as the Right Hon. Gentleman bad commenced his career so well, he would not fail to continue in the same course. He knew it was. the opinion of some men, that this Tax on Foreign Wool was beneficial to the country; now, that opinion he denied.— Mr. T. Wilson was in favour of the re- peal ; he was convinced it had not operated to raise the price Mr. Cnrrcen supported the duty as necessary for the encourage- ment of agriculture— The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, when the duty was first laid on, there had been no opinion existing that it would prove a measure likely to aid or assist agriculture, but it was imposed rather as a revenue duty : it produced about 400,000i. a- year, and he was not willing to give that sum up.— Mr. Dick- enson supported the Petition— Sir M. W. Ridley regretted to find an opinion still existing . that taxes should be laid on the agricul- turists to relieve the manufacturer; or on the manufacturer for the relief of the agriculturist. He hoped the subject of this Peti- tion would receive further consideration ; and in the mean time lie was desirous of calling the attention of the House to the mis. chiefs arising to our wool growers by the practice of importing woollen ra — Mr. Beimet censured the Country Gentlemen for the spirit tiiey displayed in this measure, as the. y did in many others, to pvoaiotc their own interests, at whatever expence it might be to others. The Petition was then received— Loid Milton and Mr. Dickenson presented similar Petitions from Iluddersficld, and thi county of Sopierset. Mr. ' Denison presented a Petition from several parishes in the county of Surrey, praying that the House would take into consi- deration the state of the Law of Settlement, and that in future the holding required to entitle a man to a settlement should bo 201. instead of 10/. LAW OF SETTLEMENT— Col. Wood rose to bring forward his Resolutions on the subject of the existing law regarding the Settlement of the Poor. The evil of the present system was great, the existing 1 . aw of . Settlement oppressive and harassing in the ex- treme to the Poor, and expensive to the Public. He proceeded to take a review of the present system of Settlement Laws, and es- pecially reprobated that partiif them which threw difficulties in the way of a poor man in gaining a Settlement. As the law now stood, a poor man might reside for 40 years in a parish without gaining a Settlement; and if, at the end of that time, misfortune or want assailed bin, lie was liable to be torn from his family and connections, and from that spot where he had passed his life, and transplanted to a parish miles distant, and dropt in his last days amongst utter strangers. ami alieAa to his blood and affections. The evil existed principally in the absurd Btld preposterous regu- lation which at present existed, requiring a man to- have a holding or tenancy of 10/. a year to gain him a Settlement. Now lie would propose, that not payment of rent, but residence, should ob tain a Settlement, and that 15 years residence should form a bar to removal. In these propositions he was not without authority, for i. i the Hepott of the Committee of 181/, a plan of this sort was recommended. Tne first Resolution was, that the various provi- sions respecting the Settlement of the Poor had given rise to great and expensive litigation. Lord Atiltorp supported the Resolutions. Mr. Scarlett said, he should support the Resolutions with all his heart. At present the manufacturing poor, when they had no employment in the towns, were sent into the agricultural districts, though « he great mass of property resided in the towns; and the consequence was, flint almost every country parish paid more to the Poor Rates than the most populous manufacturing districts. This inequality called loudly for remedy, and nothing could be more cautious than the measure of bis Hon. Friend. Mr. Lockhart had doubts whether the plan of the Hon. Gentle- man would not increase tlie expence of litigation from the glori- CMS uncertainty both of the law and of the fact. He had also doubts, if a facility of settlement would not throw obstacles in the way of the employment of the poor. Mr. Peel thought the House should have the fu'lest informa- tion before it guve any pledge. He therefore hoped the Resolu- tions would lie withdrawn ; when a Bill might be brought in, which could circulate during the Recess; and the subject be sub- mitted to the House at an early period of the next Session. Col. Wood hoped the House would have no objection to- his bringing in a Bill which might be read a first and second time; be committed, pro forma; and be brought before the House early next Session. He should withdraw the Resolutions, and bring in a Bill to- morrow. ; COUrT OF CHANCERY Mr. Willams brought forward a motion upon the subject of the delays, expences, and risk, to which suitors in equity arc' at present exposed. He rendered a tribute of applause to the transcendent talents and unequalled learning of the Lord Chancellor, but lamented his reluctance to decide without a degree of demonstration rarely attainable in questions of mixed law, and fact, and morals ; so that to all the other qualities of that eminent person, might be added what Lord Bacon had called the science of doubting, and by which all the other great qualities were neutralized. He denied that the establishment of the Vice- Chan- cellor's Court had afforded any relief to suitors in equity ; affirm- ing, oil the other hand, that it had only served to overwhelm the Court of Chancery with a multitude of appeals. Of the Rolls Court, he said that its business had declined to a fourth or a tenth since the resignation of Sir Wm. Grant, to whom he paid a hand- some compliment for having retired from the Bench while in the vigorous possession of his faculties, and before their decay could tend to injure the public. The Equity Bench in the Exchequer, during the protracted indisposition of the Chiqf Baron, had been occupied by Mr. Baron Graham, a Magistrate eighty- one years old ; or Mr. Baron Garrow, who had never obtained any practice in a Court of Equity Mr. W. proceeded to illustrate the subject, by citing a number of instances " of the delay and expense of equity proceedings. The business of the Court of Chancery had for a long time been' in tile most admired disorder, which, lie was prepared to prove in a Committee of that House. Much of that abuse had arisen from the appointment of the new branch of the Court, in consequence of the collisitm that had taken place. In 1813, the number of cases undecided had been 141; while in 1822, the num- ber had been 101. In rehearings and demurrers, an increase had also taken place; and at present the number of rehearings and ap- peals amounted to 135, being within six of the whole number at the appointment of the Vice- Chancellor in 1813. The suitor was now driven by compulsion to an inferior Judge, and the whole of what were named term causes, were heard before the Vice- Chan- cellor. That was also the case with exceptions. For the last five years, the Lord Chancellor had only decided at the rate of five causes a year. ( Hear! hear!) For the eight'years preceding 1822, tlie Vice- Chancellor had heard 14,500 motions, while in the same space of time tile Lord Chancellor had heard 5155, little more than one- third. All his statements were authenticated by vouch- ers that he held in his hand. On this subject, Solicitors were afraid to give information ; and no wonder, as it was probable that even what he saitl in that House might not be soon forgotten. But on that subject he was wholly without fear. ( Hear ! from Mr. Brougham.) lie concluded by moving, " that a Select Commit- tee be appointed to inquire into the arrear of business in the Court of Chancery, and the appellant jurisdiction of the House of Lords, and the causes thereof." The Attorney General opposed the motion, and entered into a long detailed statement of the quantity of business disposed of by the different Courts of Equity. He said, it would undoubtedly have been fairer if the Noble and Learned Person, who hail been attacked, had been informed of the cases that were to be brought against him. He complained that his Hon. and Learned Friend had dragged the Judges before the House, as persons incapable from age of doing their duty ; but he had carefully avoided men- tioning the many Lunatic and Bankrupt Petitions which the Lord Chancellor had heard : in ten years, Lord Hardwicke heard 400 Lunatic Petitions, while the present Chancellor, in the same time, had heard 2404 ; and, since 1820, the Bankrupt Petitions heard in Chancery and Vice- Chancery amounted to 5813. He had ex- pected that his Hon. and Learned Friend would have attempted to make out some strong case of delay, but he had attempted no such thing. Indeed, how could he make such an attempt; for, on en quiry it would be found, that all the cases in the Vice- Chancellor'; Court were cases of the last and of the preceding Term, but none beyond that period would be found in the list. The Hon. Mem- ber who brought forward this motion had exhibited a charge of delay against the Lord Chancellor; but he denied that he had made out any case; and therefore, considering the motion as un called for, lie would oppose it. Mr. M. A. Taylor said, he had no wishes on this subject, ex- cept the public good and the cause of justice ; and, in pursuing that course, he would not shrink from the discharge of his duty. In 1811, he ( Mr. T.) obtained the appointment of a Committee to enquire into this subject, against the inclination of Mr. Percival; but that gentleman obtained a majority in the Committee, and that Committee were told how they must vote, and cautioned on that head ; for they were told, if they voted so and so, the Lord Chancellor would resign the Seals, and they voted accordingly. So, afterwards, on moving for a Committee, he obtained a strong support— so very strong, that the late much lamented Lord Lon- donderry said, " Taylor,, you had nearly carried your motion :" but the next year, on bringing forward that motion, he found a majority of 90 against him. On expressing his surprise to a friend on the other side, on this subject, he was told, " Oh, do not be surprised ; your motion is opposed by the Chancellor, and, if it was carried, he would resign ; and you know beholds the Admi- nistration together." The House wquld therefore see in what a si- tuation they stood when they came forward to attack this great Colossus who bestrided the Government thus. He called now up- on general grounds for inquiry. At present the suitor was rob- bed ; he cared not whether by the system, or by tile indecision of the Chancellor— still it. was a subject requiring inquiry. After some further conversation, and two or three divisions, tile farther discussion of the subject was adjourned to this night, up- on an express declaration, from Mr. Ross, that the Lord Chancel- lor was desirous that it should undergo the most complete investi- gation— Adjourned. THURSDAY.— The discussion of Mr. Williams's motion was resumed ; when Mr. Denman supported it in a speech of great length, in which he charged the Lord Chancellor with having pro- nounced a surreptitious decree in the case of Horwood and Ware"— impugned the justice of his Lordship's decision with re. spect to literary property— adverted to his refusal to grant a Com- mission of Lunacy in Lord Portsmouth's case, eight years ago— and contrasted his scrupulous hesitation in Court, with tile promptitude with which, in the Cabinet, he decided against the late Queen. Mr. Courtenay entered into a detailed examination of the cases alluded to, in Older to shew that the charges of unnecessary delay, founded upon these cases, were groundless. Mr. Abercromby admitted the great merits of the Lord Chan, cellor, but appealed to the unanimous opinion of the public as to the injurious tardiness of his decision. Mr. Wetherell defended the Court of Chancery in a long and very able speech : he complained that the facts stated had been taken from the office of a person notoriously influenced by male- volent feelings. He metioncd that, in the course of 22 years, but one of the Lord Chancellor's decrees had been reversed; and asked whether it were not better to have a Judge who decided with deli- beration and uniform justice, than one who would decide twice as many cases, and but half of them properly. Mr. Scarlett observed, that the question had hitherto been dis- cussed only by Lawyers. Some layman, he thought, who had hatl personal experience of an Equity suit, would have treated the subject more fairly. He had too much respect for the Lord Chan- cellor to praise him in that place; but this was a proposition to inquire into delays in Chancery, the existence of which was de- nied on the other side; and as they were at issue on this, the House ought to go into the inquiry, to set the matter at rest. Mr. Brougham arraigned the Court of Chancery at great length. He proposed, as the most just and irresistible evidence of the in- juries which it inflicted, an exhibition of the crowds of living spec- tres who were its victims. He cited the opinions of some of the greatest ornaments of the law, who had left their sentiments re corded in writing, that the Court of Chancery was a great public grievance. Such, lie said, were the expences, that no lawyer would advise a client to venture into it for 100/. however secure of a decree. The Solicitor- General opposed the motion, which, he said, after the speeches they had heard would be nothing less than a vote of censure upon the Lord Chancellor. Mr- Canning also opposedthe motion, asserting that the arrears in Chancery are by no means so numerous as stated. Mr. Williams replied ; and on a division the motion was re- jected by a majority of 174 to 85— Adjourned. To YEOMANRY, FARMERS, and GRAZIERS.

MONDAY'S POST." LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 7- PARIS Papers of yesterday, were received this after- noon. They contain a report from the Army of the Pyre- nees, to the Minister of War, dated Madrid, May 29. This document states, that the troops which were under L'Abisbal had retreated on Talavera towards Estremadura ; by which the road from Madrid to Seville is left unprotected. A spirit of discontent is said to prevail among the people against the Constitutional troops; and that the French are received with enthusiasm by the. Spaniards. The Moniteur announces the expected Loan of twenty- three millions of Rentes, to be bid for 10th July, aud the pay- ments to be made monthly during twenty months. Letters received this afternoon from Seville, up to 22d May, state, that the greatest tranquillity prevails there, and that the Cortes continue their important labours. Count L'Abisbal was really arrested on the ISth ult. but since that time nothing was known respecting him. We are happy in being able to announce, that his Ma- jesty's health is considerably restored, and that his appearance and manner yesterday, at the Council, were such, as to impart the highest gratification to those who witnessed them. He openly expressed his intention of leaving town to- day for his cottage at Windsor. At a Privy Council afterwards held, a Proclamation was issued, and appears in the Gazette of this evening, prohibiting British subjects from entering Foreign Service, and the equipping Vessels for warlike purposes, without his Majesty's licence. Monday, a Resurrection- man was tried in the High Court of Justiciary, Edinburgh, charged with violating the sepul- chres of the dead, and stealing a dead body from the church- yard of Larbet, Stirlingshire. He was found guilty, and ordered to be transported for seven years. In the HOUSE OF COMMONS, last night, Mr. Huskis- son moved the committal of the Reciprocity Duties Bill. Ho ex- plained that the principle of the proposed measure was, to reduce the import duties upon goods brought by vessels belonging to States • which should treat British shipping with a reciprocal indulgence ; to grant the same bounties to such vessels, and to treat them in all other respects as favourably as the ships of this country.— Mr. Sykes suggested the necessity, of some delay, in order to obtain the • opinion of the shipping interest.— Mr. Wallace, Mr. Ricardo,. Mr. Marryatt, Sir I. Coffin, and Mr. C. Grant, supported the motion; which was opposed by Mr. Robertson.— Mr. T. . Wilson approved ofthe measure, upon the understanding that Govern- ment would remove the duties upon articles of maritime consump- tion The report was ordered to be read on Monday. Mr. Goulburn moved the committal of the Irish Tithe Commu- tation Bill Messrs. Wetherell and Bankes objected to the mea- sure, as an infringement of the vested rights of the Church— The clause for estimating, the value of Church livings, by an average of the last sevej years, was carried ; and the compulsory clause, after a short conversation, was rejected by a majority of 84 to 3a— Adj. HORRIBLE BARBARITY.—' We have, this week the pain- ful duty of recording an instance of savage and indecent barbarity scarcely paralleled in the annals of crime— At the village of Wes- ton, two miles from Bath, reside Mr. and Mrs. Middleton, with a family consisting of four daughters, the youngest oi whom is ten years old, the next eleven, the third, whose name is Mary, four- teen, and the, eldest a young woman arrived at maturity, who su- perintends the domestic concerns of tile house. About six months ago Mr. M. took into his service a man of the name of T. Wheeler, 22 years of age, and in order that he should have no sort of inter- course with the house, a bed was provided for him in the coach- house. On Monday last, Mr. and Mrs. M. went out in a gig, leaving their children at home, and Wheeler working in the lower garden, which'is beyond the coach- house. About four in the af- ternoon they returned home ; on arriving at the gate Mr. M. called " Thomas !" several times, but without receiving any answer. At length he came to the gate, and on being questioned where he had been, he appeared agitated, and returned a very confused answer. He then removed the horse and gig, and Mr. M. went into the lower garden. A few minutes afterwards an alarm was spread that Miss Mary was missing, and as Mr. M. was passing a wood pile in the garden lie discovered a part of his daughter's dress. At first he imagined she was hiding from. her sisters, but finding that she answered him in a feeble and distressed manner, he took away some ofthe wood, pulled her out, and found her clothes torn and smeared with filth from the privy. She was exhausted, and fell down again. In the greatest agony the father asked what had happened ? She cried out, " Oh ! papa, Thomas has used me so ill." Mr. M. ob- tained assistance, ar. d the child was Carried in to her mother, to whom, after her dress had been changed, she related a tale of the most horrifying description. In the interim, Wheeler made his escape, but'was next day taken, and carried before the Magistrates on Wednesday, where Miss Middleton then deposed, that after her. father and mother were gone out on Monday, she and her two younger sisters were walking in the fror. t garden to learn their les- sons ; that it began to rain, when her two little sisters ran into the house, and she was turning round to go in also, when Wheeler ran up the steps ofthe lower garden, caught her in bis arms, ran into the coach- house, and pulled her u( 1 a ladder into the loft; he then pushed the ladder down, and effected his diabolical purpose 1 Just about this time he heard the gig coming up. the avenue, and in his alarm he jumped from the loft into the coach- house, a depth of nine feet, and dragged the child with him ; he then took tier un- der his arm, and threw her headlong into the privy, jumped down himself, and dragged her to the wood pile, where in it senseless state he left her, and where she was found by her father as above described. It is astonishing that the child escaped'with her life. Miss M. screamed and struggled with the wretch for upwards of half an hour, but he threatened her, and held his hand ov'er her mouth ; notwithstanding this, her cries were heard by an old wo- man in the village, who thought it was a cry cf distress, and that one of the children had slipped into a gutter and was calling out for assistance— The atrocious monster is fully committed for trial.

The extensive esteem this most worthy woman had conciliated through life, renders an allusion to her excellencies, far otherwise than a common- place tribute to tiie dead. The noble qua- lities of boundless benevolence, unaffected hospitality, and spotless integrity, were associated in her bosom, with the sympathies that sweeten friendship, and felicitate domestic eares; and the tear of af- fection that drops on her grave, must yield to the consolation that her . example inspires.

The brig London Packet, Pines, from Tobago, for Bris- tol, was stranded on Tuesday night off Bideford Bar, and filled with water. Crew saved. The whole of the sugar will be lost ; the rum will probably be saved; but very little prospect of the vessel getting off An effort is making greatly to improve the. London en- trance into Cheltenham, by changing the line of road at Dowdes- well- Hill, so as completely to avoid that disagreeable acclivity, and lead the traveller by a route of scarcely, a quarter of a mile longer, through a delightful valley to'. Frogmill. The town of Abergavenny is now being new paved, under the directions of Mr. Sims; and at a late Meeting of the Commissioners for further improving the town, it was determined to light the same, with gas; and Mr. Broadmeadow is now en- gaged laying down the pipes for that purpose. There are now nineteen counties in England into which the tread- mill has been introduced, and it has uniformly followed, that those persons who have been subject to the discipline of that machine, have, at the expiration of the terms of their imprison- ment, shown a strong disposition to forsake their former dissolute habits, and have returned into society with improved ideas of rec- titude and morality. . Gwinnell, the plasterer, cf Cheltenham, who,, about two years since, beat Wadley, of Maisemore, near this city, in a pugilistic combat at Corse Lawn, has been again challenged by the latter to fight. Gwinnell, highly to his credit, positively de- clines accepting the challenge, having totally renounced the plea- sures of the ring ! The Sale of Mr. George Price's Rams, at Mickleton Hills, near Campden, advertised for Tuesday last, was postponed till a future time, at the request of the small number of his Friends who fl „ . __. neighbourhood, a visitation at Stow, an Audit at Broadway, and several ether Public Meetings". It was, however, admitted by those Gentlemen who did attend, that the Show exceeded their most sanguine expectations, and reflected the highest credit on Mr. Price for his almost unexampled exertions. Six Shearlings girt upwards of four feet each, and were supposed to exceed 301b. per quarter. One Shearhog, hare shorn, weighed upwards of 11 score; and Mr. Moore, the Auctioneer, weighed the Fleeces of 20 Ram Tegs, which averaged 101b. each Mr. George Price will again offer his Rams fur sale early in July. Carmarthen fair, on Tuesday, displayed a greater num- ber of cattle and horses than have been seen for some years. The cattle sold low, particularly oxen and steers.

DRUIDISM, MONMOUTH Monday last, being the anni- versary of the Ancient Order of Druids in this town, the Brothers of Lodge No. 01, met at their Lodge- room, to the amount of nearly 100 persons ; and at eleven o'clock, a procession, truly grand, took place, ( being all habited in costume,) from thence to the Church, to attend divine service, where an excellent sermon was preached by Brother B. Boucher, for the benefit of the Dispensary ; in which discourse the Preacher advocated the cause of charity with the truest appeals to the feelings of the congregation; and the sum of 23Z. was collected for the Institution. It should be remarked, that many families gave up their seats for the accommodation of the Lodge. After service, the Lodge returned in procession, attended by a band of music, through the principal stieets of the town, to gratify the wishes of many of its inhabitants. After their return, tile Brothers unrobed and closed the Lodge, and afterwards. sat down to dinner, the Reverend Brother presiding on the occasion. The healths of tiie Sovereign, the Duke of York and the Army, the Duke of Clarence and the Navy, were enlivened by national and popular airs ; and the health of the President was drank with the warmest feelings of respect; when he returned thanks in an ele- gant, warm culogium on the Lodge, and the purposes for which it was assembled. Brother Holbrook's health, with thanks for his kind attention to the Dispensary, was given with the like respect, and he returned thanks, by assuring them of his continued exer- tions to promote its interests. Many cheerful songs enlivened the festive meeting, which was increased by the musical and vocal ta- lents of several Brothers ofthe Lodge No. 10, Bristol, and the Si- lurean Lodge No. 42, Hereford, who favoured the meeting with their presence, and kept up the spirit of the Brotherly Meeting, all gratified with the rational manner in which tile hours of union had been passed at Monmouth. HOPS— Lord Liverpool, iii consequence of the distressed state of the Hop Planters, communicated to Earl Somers, Sir G. Cotterell, and other Herefordshire Gentlemen, present at Fife llouse on Saturday se'nnight, that the payment of the duty on Hops, the growth of 1822, would be postponed to 5th April, 1824, and tha t one year's duty after that would be remitted altogether; then the duty to continue as usual: which is giving above a year for the payment of that one year, and one year's duty, either in 1822 or 1823, to be given up entirely. THE RANTERS— R. France and E. Vaughan, blacksmiths, and two of the sect called Ranters, or " Primitive Methodists," were on Tuesday, for want of sureties, committed to Shrewsbury gaol,' charged with " assembling in the public streets ofthe town of Shrewsbury, and thereby collecting a great concourse of people under pretence of being an assembly for religious worship, such places of assembly not having been certified to the Bishop of the Diocese, cr to the Justices of the Peace, whereby his Majesty's liege subjects have been greatly annoyed and interrupted." MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCES.—- Late on the night of Sa- turday se'nnight, Mr. Edward Toghill, and Mr. Chas. Broom, a respectable farmer, of Bathford, left the Oak Inn, Chipping Sod- bury, in this county, both much intoxicated. On their way home thro' Dodington, with their horses at full speed, they were thrown, and both found on the ground about four o'clock next morning, at Mr. Down's farm, near Dodington Park. Mr. Toghill was not hurt; but his companion was so much injured from a concussion ofthe brain, that, altho* surgical assistance was promptly rendered, Mr. Broom never spoke afterwards, but died in a few hours, ap- parently in excruciating agony. Mrs. Broom arrived to witness the last moments of her unfortunate husband : she is left with four small children, and is now pregnant. An inquest was held on view of the body, before W. Joyner Ellis, Esq. Coroner, and a verdict returned ot Accidental Death. A dreadful accident occurred at Hanham, in this county, on Monday last. A boy named James Weymouth, about six years old, whilst running by the side of his father, who was driving a waggon, loaded with coals, fell down in consequence of his foot striking against a stone; and, before his father could stop the horses, both wheels of the waggon had gone over him, and instantly de- prived him of life. On Saturday se'nnight, a most melancholy event took place at Sutton Courtney, near Abingdon, Berks. On that day the annual feast was commemorated. Mr. Hoare, a very respec- table farmer, sent for his two children, with whom was Master Drew, the son of another farmer, and a daughter of Mrs Turner, of the Swan, at Sutton. The son of a friend of Mr. Hoare's, who resides in Thames- street, London, was oil a visit for his health, and made one of the party. These five young persons, with a mu- sician, got into a boat, for the purpose of being rowed across the river. The boatman, rendered rather careless from the jollities of the day, pitched forward in the boat, which was upset, and forced against the runners of a lock by the rapidity of the stream. The musician seized the runners, and the daughter of Mr. Hoare clasped his legs, and was saved ; the other children and the boatman were drowned. A labouring man dived for and soon brought up three of tho dead bodies. Neither of the persons drowned was more than 16 years of age, the boatman excepted. SIMPLE RemedY for BLIgHT.— Save the water in which potatoes are boiled, and when cold, wash the tree with it. A brush is the best thing for the purpose; the alteration in the appearance of the tree in a few hours is astonishing. INQUESTS— Taken before Jos. Mountain, Esq. one of the Coroners for this county :— At Sherborne, on view of the body of T. Matthews, a poor man, found dead in a field ; and at Ciren- cester, on the body of Wm. Paul, an infant, found dead in bed : Verdict in each case, Found Dead— At Fairford, on the body of T. Wood, who fell from the fore part of the waggon whereon he was riding, and the wheels passed over his body ; and at the same place, on an infant child, who fell into a pool of water and was drowned: Verdicts, Accidental Death At Cirencester, on the body of Mr. Wm. Hill, who died suddenly ; and at Kempsford, on the body of John Gladwin, who also dropped down dead: Ver- dicts, Died by the visitation of God HORSE STEALING Committed to Hereford Gaol, Thos. Thomas alias Leach, for having three stolen horses in his posses- sion at Evesham Fair, and which have been since sworn to by three persons in the neighbourhood. The prisoner was appre- hended on Sunday, and placed in the custody of the constables at Fownhope, from whom, however, he contrived to make his escape, without liis shoes, early on Monday morning; and was again ap- prehended on Tuesday morning, in a pigscot, in the parish of Much Marcle. The following capital convicts, who were condemned at our last Assizes, have each had the sentence of death commuted for that of imprisonment for twelve calendar months, viz. John Vokins, for highway robbery ; Wm. Lovelock, for stealing cattle ; Henry Arnfield, for sheep- stealing ; and Ann Greening, for steal- ing in a dwelling- house.

The al- teration did not arrive in time to appear in its proper place. To the EDITOR ofthe GLOUCESTER JOURNAL. Brimscombe Port, June 5, 1823. SIR,— We take this opportunity of explaining to the Public ( through your Paper) an outrage, which, from its nature, may be misrepresented, leaving them to draw their own conclusions. Benjamin Robinson, Thos. Westbrook, Richard King, Richard Miller, and C. T. Lewis, have, for some time past, been in the ha bit of working the old- established True Briton Coach, to and from Gloucester and London, three times a week. On the alternate days, B. Robinson, Wm. Ireland, Daniel Cox, George Davis, Handy Davis, and Jessy Davis, worked another Coach, called the Safety Briton, Over The same ground. Without any notice, cause, or claim upon us, or either of us, William Ireland stopped the True Briton Coach, ( or another bear- ing its numbers, by Act of Parliament,) at Abingdon, on the 18th of May last, and put horses to it, and so continued to do to the end of the journey, i. e. over the ground Richard King, Richard Miller, and C. T. Lewis usually horsed the coach: Daniel Cox was asked the cause of such unwarrantable conduct, and he repli- ed,— because we will have both coaches. . The Guard of the Coach, whose name is Morgan Watkins, re- ceived his bill from the Office in London, as usual, at Abingdon, where this outrage was committed. Mr. King desired him to take care of our bill and the cash, which he promised to do ; instead of which, when the coach arrived at Chalford, they ( Daniel Cox and Company) persuaded him out. of the money and the bill, by giving him an indemnification in writing. To save trouble and expense in entering into a Paper War, we shall not answer any reply that may be given to this, being pre- pared to make oath to tile foregoing facts, besides giving them an op- portunity of accounting for their conduct in another way and place. In consequence of the foregoing outrage, we have established, with others, ( see Advertisement,) another Coach, ( which one of the proprietors of the Safety Briton endeavoured to prevent,*) which, we trust, however, the British public will support, who al- ways shudder at the idea of oppression ar. d monopoly. I am, Sir, your's respectfully, For RICHARD KING, T. LEWIS, and Self, . RICHARD MILLER. (" COPY,) Chalford, May 29, 1823. Mr. KINO, New Inn, Abingdon, Berks.

At HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. The Earl of Liverpool in answer to a question frora Lord Gros- venor, thought it extremely proper that a Committee should be appointed to inquire into the nature of the office of Lord Justice General of Scotland, with a view to its regulation or abolition. The Earl of Harewood presented Petitions from the Cloth Ma- nufacturers in Yorkshire, against the duty on Foreign Wool. He considered that the Woollen Cloth Manufacturers ought not to be subjected to the duty on Foreign Wool— The Earl of Liverpool said, this duty had increased- from 250,000.;. a- year to 400,000?. On this account, then, he thought they, would pause before they m- ddled with so important a branch of the revenue. The export of our woollens had also increased, so that this tax had not proved either an injurious or an unproductive tax. If the export of Bri- tish wool were prohibited, certainly it was not unfair that this should be met by a duty 011 the raw foreign material— The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table. MArRIAGE LAWS CONSOLIDATION BILL— All the preced- ing clauses having been agreed to without any serious opposition, the Committee took into consideration the clauses rendering the marriages of minors, without consent of parents or guardians, voi- dable by a suit commenced within twelve months from the date of their celebration ; when The Archbishop of York opposed the clause, as contrary to the divine law, which renders bona fide marriages indissoluble, except- ing only for adultery. The Lord Chancellor supported the clause. He contended that the divine canon quoted, could be only understood as referring to marriages contracted according to the terms of the law to which the parties owed obedience. In reply to the argument that the clause would expose females to danger, he observed, that some protection was also due to male minors, who were frequently the victims of artful women— citing, as an example, a case in which a youth of 17, of high rank and expectations, had been seduced into a marriage with a bricklayer's daughter, twenty years older than himself; who was, moreover, the mother of seven illegitimate children. The Bishop of Chester said, that there was no difficulty in dis- covering the marriages contemplated by the divine canon. All marriages not repugnant to the law of God were, in his opinion, entitled to the protection of that rule. The Earl of Liverpool opposed the clause, as oppressive or nu- gatory. Irregular marriages had, he said, been much more fre- quently celebrated by banns; and against marriages so celebrated the clause made no provision ; there were besides the opportuni- ties afforded by a journey to Scotland, or the still easier passage to Calais by a steam- boat; all of which rendered it impossible to provide absolutely against marriages without consent; and while such facilities existed tile clause could effect no good purpose, tho' it might produce much evil. Viscount Powerscourt opposed the clause.— The Archbishop of Canterbury defended the motives of those who had carried the clause in the Select Committee, but intimated his readiness to sub- mit to the sense of'the House Lord Bedesdale opposed the clause, as placing the continuance of a marriage at the pleasure of a third person - Lord Ellenborough opposed the clause at great length, as providing for the profligate an instrument of seduction.— Lord Sid- mouth and Lord Stowell defended it; and, on a division, the cluuse was rejected by a majority of 28 to 22.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY. A Petition was presented from certain manufacturers against the Silk Weavers Regulation Bill; from Hereford against the Game Bill; from Benj. Wingrove, praying the House to take into con- sideration the merits of his plan for the Improvement of the Turn- pike Roads; and various other Petitions. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS Sir T. Lethbridge said, he wished now to withdraw a notice of his, which stood for Thursday next, of his intention to move Resolutions on the subject of Agri- cultural Distress. He withdrew this notice at the suggestion of several of his friends, who took a particular interest in this ques- tion. It was their opinion that such a change of circumstances had arisen as would render it unnecessary for him now to press his motion : he was happy to say, a considerable improvement had now taken place in the state of the agriculturists of the country sines he first gave this notice ; and he now flattered himself the country might look forward to a very great alleviation of die dis- tresses of the farmer, if not to their entire removal. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM— lord Ebrington said, he held in his hand a Petition from . the Inhabitants of the County of De- von, in favour of Parliamentary Reform, adopted at a County Meeting convened, ill compliance with a requisition presented to the High Sheriff, signed by 800 respectable inhabitants of the coun- ty. He had the honour to preside at this Meeting, than which, though he had seen more numerous Meetings, he never saw one more respectably attended. The Petition was adopted unani- mously at the Meeting, and had since been signed by 5181 per- sons, upwards of 4000 of whom were Land Owners, and he be- lieved many others would have signed it, had it not been for a conviction which they felt, that to petition the House on that sub- ject would be uselass.— The Petition was brought up, read, and ordered to be printed. SCOTCH REPRESENTATION Lord Archibald Hamilton af- ter a brief, but sharp, debate upon the order of proceedings, moved a series of Resolutions upon the subject of the Scotch system of Representation. His Lordship introduced his motion by a long speech, in which he detailed minutely the proceedings at a Scotch county election, illustrating his detail by a reference to his own canvas and election. From his Lordship's statement it appears, that the county elective franchise, iu Scotland, attaches to certain degrees in the series of subinfeudation of lands ; and neither to the possession of a property in the lands, nor to a residence upon them; a penny annually arising Out of the Elector's interest, orfiar, as it is called, being a sufficient qualification; ancfresidence being wholly disregarded. He would state his own case ;— he had a vote in five different counties iu Scotland, in not one of which did he possess a single acre of land. He had no doubt there were many instances still stronger than his own. The principle of represen- tation in Scotland was, therefore, he said, diametrically opposed to the principles of the English Constitution, which regarded property and population as the only titles to representation. The whole number of'the constituents of County Representatives in Scotland, he rated, upon the authority of a return presented to Parliament, at 2289, or one in 825 of the population of counties. The county which had the highest number of voters, had 289. The lowest number in any county was nine. Tiie number of freeholders in a county, that of Haddington, were 68, who had land and superio- rity, ar. d in the same county there were 95, who had superiority, but no land. These latter, therefore, who had no land, could elect a Member for the county, against the votes of those who had land. His Lordship then went, into an examination of the system of bo- rough representations in Scotland. The elections in boroughs were, lie said, to die population in the proportion of one in 7000. He asked, whether this was a system of. representation which any one would propose to establish ; and cited several particular proceed- ings of the Scottish Parliament before the Union, to show that a reform, such as he advocated, had always been in contemplation willi the Scottish nation. He should propose that property to the amount of 100/. Scotch or 8/. sterling annually, should give a right to vote. The representation of the Scotch counties so far from be- ing a corrective of the system of Burgh Representation was a con- firmation and aggravation of the evil. The Member for Edinburgh ' had 30 supporters, ( the exclusive electors,) and above 30,000 op- " pnnents. Tlie Noble Lord concluded by moving certain Resolu- tions, pledging the House to take the subject into consideration early in the next Session of Parliament. ( llcar I) Sir George Clerk submitted, that the proposed change would render necessary a total alteration in the system of Scottish tenures. He defended the present system of representation as the best suited to the condition of' Scotland.— Mr. Kennedy supported the motion. — il/>'. Twiss opposed it— Sir J. Mackintosh, in a speech of some lergth, contrasted the Scotch with the English system of represen- tation.— Lord Winning appealed to the silence of the Scottish peo- ple, as indisputable . proof of the satisfaction given by the present system of representation.— Mr. J. P. Grant supported the motion. — The Lord Advocate treated the practical suggestions in the Re- solutions as perfectly impossible Lord Milton and Lord Glenor- chy supported the motion ; which, on a division, was rejected by a majority of 152 to 117- Mr. J. Williams, in the name of Sir F. Burdett, gave notice of a motion for certain resolutions upon the late Inquiry into the con- duct of the High Sheriff of Dublin, upon the 12th inst. TSIE GAME: LAWS— Lord Cranbourne then moved the second reading of the Sale of Game Bill. Mr. II. Sumner said, he would take the sense of the House on the second reading; which being done, the numbers were— for tbe second rending 208 ; against it 53 ; majority 170. Lord Cranbourne then urged the adoption of the Bill. The ob- ject was to legalize the sale of Game, which now existed illegally to n very great extent, as would appear from the accounts which he had received from several poulterers in London. One poulte rer sold, in one year, no less than 22,490 head of Game; another sold to one customer 224 head in one season ; another sold to one customer, in one week, 111 head of Game. This statement of it- self was sufficient to shew the extent to which poaching was at pre- sent carried— to the destruction of morals, and sometimes loss of life to the individuals engaged in it. Sir J. Shelly must oppose this Bill, which, instead of checking poaching, would, lie was convinded, greatly increase that offence, lie contended, that the passing tiiis Bill, would only have the ef- fect of depriving gentlemen of all their game, which would become as common in tiie market as chickens or rabbits; and, should the Bill pass, a shoulder of mutton would soon be as handsome a pre- sent, as a brace bf pheasants now was. At present, the farmer allowed his sporting neighbour to follow his game; but, should it be made a saleable article, he would as soon allow a man to come into his farm- yard, and take a duck or a chicken out of it. Tlie result would be, that nothing but dissention would prevail, and no one would be a gainer but the lawyer. He considered the sports of the field as a part of the Constitution of the country, which this Bill, if passed, would put an end to ; and therefore. be would move that, instead of now, the Bill should he read. a second time on the 1st of September next. ( A laugh.) LordDccrhnrst seconded the amendment. He considered that this Bill would go to increase poaching, instead of diminishing it. He contended, that the only effect of this measure would be, to set every dissolute person in pursuit of game, and, in a short time, not a bead of game would be left in the kingdom ; and gentlemen would be deprived of amusements on their own estates, and driven to seek pleasures in other countries, instead of living at home amongst their tenants. * Mr. W. Peel feared that this Bill would not put an end to poaching, though it would lead to the total annihilation of the game on every gentleman's estate, and deprive country gentlemen of the pleasures which they at present derived from the sports of the field. He believed also that it would lead to the destruction of foxes, and put an end to that noble sport and pastime, fox- hunting; and for these reasons he would oppose the Bill. Mr. Poyntz. was in favour of the Bill, lie considered the pre- sent Game Laws as a source of crime, and, therefore, lie wished t > see them put an end to. He disliked the exclusive spirit of the present Game Laws, by which respectable individuals of a certain rank, Merchants and Traders, were prevented having game at their table. For these reasons, be should support the present Bill, convinced that legalizing the sale of game would operate to increase the quantity, and to diminish crime. Mr. Whitbread strongly condemned the present system of G atce Laws, and supported the Bill now before the House. He consi- dered it due to humtmity to make a trial of this Bill; and endea- vour, by its adoption, to put aa end to the present system, of pu, nishment for poaching. Mr. Brougham also expressed his strong abhorrence of the pre- sent iniquitous system of the Game Laws, and would be glial to adopt any measure likely to mitigate the evils arising out of those laws. But lie must at the same time look to the measure proposed, and see if it was calculated to produce the effect expected from it; and he must say, when he looked at it, he could not see, the least chance that this Bill would do any thing towards putting an end to the evils of the system. Instead of putting an end to the Game Laws, it would preserve and protect the worst patf of. those laws, and go to make the landed proprietor the patent seller of game. It also went to increase the patronage and power of the Magistrates, as 110 individual could buy a head of game till he obtained a licence from Magistrates at the Petty Sessions. If a Bill was introduced to legalize the sale of game generally, and to make it private pro- perty, he should know how to deal with it, though there might be objections to it; still it would be a Bill to do away the present sys- tem of the Game Laws, whereas the present Bill only went to in- crease the monopoly of the landholder, and therefore he Should op- pose it. ., , Mr. S. Worthy thought the first step towards getting rid of the Game Laws would be to legalize the sale of game; and on that accounthe should support this measure, which he considered would increase, instead of diminish, the quantity of game in the country. Mr. Peel was in favour of legalising the sale of game. The present measure might be only apartial improvement, but he was not inclined to quariel with it on that account, provided it was ad- mitted to be an improvement at all. Mr. Tennyson was against the Bill, though at the same time he thought the sale of game should be legalized. Sir T. Acland hoped the Bill would go to a Committee, as he approved of the principle. Lord Cranbourne replied ; after which, the House divided— For the second reading 82 ; against it 60. The other Orders were then disposed of, and at two o'clock the House adjourned. TUESDAY.— The House in a Committee on tho County Courts Bill, Lord Althorp observed, that in moving to fill up the blanks in this Bill, he should fix the limits of the Courts Juris- diction at 10/. instead of 15/. as he had at first proposed ; not but he was fully persuaded all the arguments in favour of the Bill would apply as well to 15/. as 10/.; but he would not risk his Bill by taking too much at once. If the machinery of the Bill was found to answer, it would be easy to increase the sum— The Bill was then committed, the blanks tilled up, the report received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on Tuesday next. BOrTHWICK'S CASE Mr. Abercromby recalled the attention of the House to the case of Wm. Murray Borthwick, to which the decided conduct of Messrs. Hope and Menzies gave so much inte- rest towards the close of the last Session. [ Our readers will remember that Borthwick had been joined in partnership with a person ' named Alexander iu the proprietorship of tile Clydesdale Journal; that after a dissolution of partnership, ( under pretence of some unliquidated debt said to - be due by Alex^ ander) he abruptly entered Alexander's office, broke open his desk, and carried off his papers, one of which was unfortunately a ma- nuscript of Sir Alexander Boswell's, the exhibition of which by Borthwick to Mr. Stuart led to a duel hetween Sir Alexander and that, gentleman, in which the former fell .; that for this robbery Borthwick was prosecuted by the Deputy Advocate, Mr. Hope, and that prosecution being abandoned, that he was subsequently prosecuted according to a permission of the Scotch law at the suit of Alexander.] The gravamen of the charge alleged by Mr. Abercromby against the Lord Advocate was, that Borthwick was persecuted as a poli- tical opponent, and that the prosecution against him was managed so as to prejudice Mr. Stuart upon his trial for the murder of Sir Alexander Boswell. In conclusion he moved a resolution, declar- ing, that the conduct of tbe Lord Advocate in the proceedings against Borthwick, were unjust and oppressive. ' The Lord Advocate defended himself and his Deputy, asserting that there were ample grounds for the prosecution of Borthwick ; and that all the proceedings against him had been strictly legal and regular. Mr. J. P. Grant and Mr. Kennedy supported the motion, which was opposed by Lord Binning and Mr. Drummond-; and on a division it was rejected by 102 to 98 ; majority 6— Adjourned at half- past one o'clock. PENAL CODE.— Notwithstanding the miscarriage of Sir J. Mackintosh's Bill, the Ministers, with a very laudable feeling, have yielded to the public wishes, and introduced into the House of Commons several Bills for the mitigation and reform of our penal code. These Bills have been brought forward by Mr. Peel, and laid upon the table of the House of Commons. We shall give a short abstract of their contents— The object of'the first Bill is, to extend the benefit of clergy to several larcenies mentioned therein: for instance, to the stealing of cloth or woollen manu- facture from the rack or tenter in the night- time, and of stealing or embezzling any of his Majesty's sails, cordage, or any other of his Majesty's naval stores, to the value of twenty shillings. By this Bill, moreover, the benefit of clergy is also intended to be ex- tended to stealing in shops, or out of any ship, barge, lighter, & c. and transportation substituted— Tho next Bill enables Judges to abstain from pronouncing sentence of death on persons convicted of any felon'res, except murder.— The next Bill repeals the capital punishments inflicted by several Acts of Parliament on persona destroying sea banks, or cutting hop binds, or personating Chel- 3a pensioners, or destroying woollen goods ; and subjects such Senders to transportation.— The next Bill allows the benefit of clergy to persons convicted of certain offences under the Black Act, and directs such persons to be transported or imprisoned : for in- stance, persons killing or maiming cattje, or destroying trees, & c. and their accessaries The Act, which inflicts capital punishment for sending incendiary or . threatening letters, is likewise to be re- pealed, and transportation and imprisonment to be instituted in lieu of it The next Act, and the last we shall notice, is for au- thorising the employment at hard labour, of male convicts in the Colonies, under sentence of transportation. This is a most judi- cious amendment of the law. It invests, with its proper terrors, the 6nly secondary punishment known to our penal code. With- out it, . transportation, instead of being a terror to offenders, be- comes almost an encouragement to crime. A SINGULAR LAW IN FORCE IN THE ISLE OF MAN. — If a single woman prosecutes a single man for a rape, the Ec- clesiastical Judgesimpanel a Jury ; and if the Jury find him guilty, he is returned to the Spiritual Court, where, if he is found guilty, the doomster ( the Temporal Judge) delivers to the woman a rope, a sword, and a ring, and she has it in her choice to have. him hanged, beheaded, or to marry him. MURDER OF AN IDIOT BY hER OWN MOTHER.— Mon- day an enquiry took place at the Horns, opposite Shoreditch Church, touching the death of Mary Davage, an idiot, who was starved to death by her own mother!!!' Catharine Wilkinson deposed, that the deceased lived with her mother in French- alley. I have known the deceased several years, and up to the last twelvemonths was in the habit of seeing her walk- ing about the streets; from that period I never saw her till about three weeks ago, when I watched an opportunity to catch her mo- ther out, and crept up stairs into the attic, and I saw in a corner of the room the deceased, covered with filth, attired in a dirty bed gown and a flannel nightcap on, and stretched on some straw ; I scarcely knew her she was so clothed with filth, and asked her if she knew me; she replied she did not, as she could not see, having such a cold in her eyes. I remained with her about ten minutes, and afterwards mentioned it to my mother, who caused informa- tion to be given to the Parish Officers. The deceased was too child- ish'to assist herself; whenever the neighbours enquired of the mo- ther after her, she would say she is getting better. The mother was of a very irritable disposition, and much given to drinking. The deceased was about 22 years old. There were no provisions nor water, nor any things but some raw potatoc peelings, of which she was eating very voraciously. Mary Fielding— A week before the deceased was removed to the workhouse, I crept up stairs unknown to the mother, and through the crack of the door I there saw the poor creature sitting huddled together on some straw, gnawing a brick, which she had made round with her teeth ; when she saw me, she exclaimed, " For God's sake, Fielding, give me some tea, or a bit of bread." I went down stairs and brought her up some bread and butter, and she devoured it like a wolf. She was unable to feed herself. Rebecca Wingham was passing through French- alley, when a woman exclaimed, " For God's sake, some of you come up stairs, here's a ghost!'' I went up stairs, and saw in o corner of the room the object of enquiry, in such a filthy state that the dirt might have been scraped off her. She repeatedly called for food, and begged to be taken to the workhouse. The mother was below, insensible from liquor. The next morning I procured her admission into the workhouse, and the mother has since declared she will be re- venged of me, if it is a twelvemonth hence. Mr. Parkinson, a surgeon, attending the workhouse, saw the deceased when she was brought into the Infimary ; she was ill a very emaciated state, she was labouring under St. Vitus's Dance, in a very severe form. Her arms were in such a state that she could not feed herself. Her appetite was very voracious. She was in a state of fatuity, and from the time she entered the house I had no- hopes of her recovery. I think that confinement to one room and being badly fed and clothed, together with bring ex- posed to the cold, might have brought on the symptoms that have been described. The deceased died on Thursday morning. This being the whole of the evidence, the Coroner summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of— Wilful Murder against Mary Davage, the mother The wretched woman was already in cus- tody, and the Coroner committed her. DOUBLE- DEALING.— A notorious trafficker in base mo- ney was brought before the Police the other day, and acknowledg- ed his guilt. Being asked if he had ever dealt in forged notes, he said he had done a little that way ; he had lately purchased 5/. worth of bad money, and had paid for it with a 5l. forged note 1 EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENON.— Eight months ago, a youth named Oldham, in Christ's Hospital, went to bed at the usual hour, and in the morning rose totally dumb ; he preserved every other faculty ; but was obliged to write oil a slate for every tiling he wanted that he could not explain by signs. The Go- vernors of that excellent Institution obtained advice from the most eminent of the faculty, and every method was resorted to without success. Galvanism was also applied, but its immediate process was equally ineffectual. On Friday last, being exactly eight months to a day, he retired to bed as usual, and awoke suddenly about eleven o'clock, making to much noise as to awaken some of his school- fellows. Their astonishment induced so much alarm, that the nurse opened the door of her adjoining apartmentto learn the cause, when many voiccs exclaimed, " O Nurse, Oldham can speak again !'' The nurse, doubting the fact, immediately went to him, and discovered the reality of this extraordinary phenome- non. In the morning the boy had quite recovered his speech, and on being asked if he felt any. peculiar sensation, merely said, he thought he was being galvanised, as he felt the tip of his tongue affected, together with a rumbling in his inside. His school- fel- lows say, when they were first awakened by die noise that he made, his voice resembled the cry of an infant. Mr.. Abernethy re- peatedly prognosticated that his voice would return very suddenly. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 30. The King v. John Roberts and another— Mr. Russell moved, that Samuel Feathers, a prisoner in Worcester Gaol, for acting as second in a pugilistic combat at that place, in which Mathews, the other combatant, was killed; and both parties having been commit- ted to prison, on the verdict of a Coroner's Jury, charging " man- slaughter," might now be brought up by habeas corpus to be dis- charged. It appeared by the depositions taken before the Coroner, that Roberts had accepted a challenge from Mathews to fight with fists, no malice existing towards Mathews; who, however, was killed by an unfortunate blow from Roberts, after fighting six rounds. The Lord Chief Justice observed, in most cases, where parties fought and on* was killed, m consequence of a challenge, the se. conds were more to blame than their principals; therefore, before the Court granted the application, it would be necessary to refer to the depositions taken before the Coroner. The depositions were then read, in substance as follows :— The parties having been drinking at a public- house, Roberts challenged the deceased to fight him for a guinea. The deceased answered he bad not got a guinea, but he would fight him for love. The de- ceased, sitting quietly over a pint of cider, was requested by one of the witnesses to go away; but he said he would not turn his back on such a fellow, meaning Roberts. A person then said, there was some person at the other end of the town, meaning Mathews, the deceased, who wanted to meet Roberts ; to this, Roberts, not- withstanding the persuasion of the witnesses, said he must go to meet the other, but that lie had no intention to fight. Another witness afterwards met Roberts, who said he was going to fight Mathews, the deceased. They accordingly met, and commented a set- to. Some person, unknown, told, them there must not be any fighting there. They then shook hands and commenced fighting, They had six or seven rounds, when, dating the last round tile deceased fell, and expired. Lord Chief Justice— It appears by this evidence, that Roberts was unwilling to fight, but for the interference of others who per- suaded- him. The Court must, under all the circumstances of ' Feathers being his second, strongly suspect that he was the person encouraging his principal; and therefore the Court ought not to interfere, where he is convicted of being an accessary ; and as such, a principal in the mischief that ensued. Mr, Justice Bayley— At all events, although' the evidence don't say that Feathers was the party who persuaded Roberts to fight, yet you shoidd have been prepared, Mr. Russell, to have answered these suspicions entertained by the Court. I am of opinion, with the Lord Chief Justice, that your application for a habeas corpus must be discharged, until you shall be prepared with affidavits that Feathers, his second, did not persuade Roberts to fight. The King v. Whitcombe This was a rule obtained last Easter Term by Mr. Pearson, calling on Mr. Whitcombe, a surgeon, and one of the Coroners for the county of Salop, to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against him, for mis- conduct ou an inquest held before him on the body of Mrs. New- ton, who died by violence inflicted by her husband. The deceased was the wife of John Newton, a farmer, in a re- spectable condition of life, residing at Severnhall, near Bridgnorth, Salop. On 20th Jan. last she died, and a: i inquest was suminoned to sit on her body, at which Mr. Whitcombe presided. The Jury returned a verdict—" Died by bleeding, but how caused is un- known ;" and the husband consequently remained at large. Con- siderable suspicion, howcyer, existing that her death was not oc- casioned by natural causes, her brother was determined to prose- cute further inquiry ; and at length Newton was apprehended, and tried at the last Shrewsbury Assizes, for the murder of his wife ; when the Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty of the murder, and he was executed on the Monday following his trial. The charges against the Coroner, which were only partially stated when the rule was moved for, were principally the following :— First, that on arriving at the place, he had a private interview with Newton, after which his conduct changed ; second, that although repeated allusions were made at the inquest to a principal witness, he did not attempt to obtain his attendance ; thirdly, that he al- lowed the improper interference of Mr. Whitmore, a neighbour- ing Magistrate, and the landlord of Newton ; fourthly, that he prevented the Jury from inspecting the body ; fifthly, that he dis- missed half the Jury, telling them " it was a slight affair ;" and, lastly, that he induced the Jury to find a nugatory verdict, lifter having attempted to persuade them to find a Verdict of—" Died by tbe Visitation of God." Mr. Jervis now showed cause against the rule, on affidavits ap- plicable to these charges. On the first— the. interview with New- ton— the defendant had sworn that he was a perfect stranger to that person ; that his meeting with him was entirely accidental, and that the conversation, except in its beginning, when the Co- roner said, " This is a bad business," and the man replied, " he knew nothing of it," had no relation to the subject of inquiry. On the next charge, it was admitted that he had been mentioned, but was never proposed to the Coroner as a witness, nor was any sug- gestion made that he could give evidence at all material, to the re- sult of the inquiry. With respect to the third charge, it was an- swered that Mr. Whitmore was a Magistrate of great respectabi- lity and experience, whose assistance the Coroner thought highly valuable ; that he therefore requested him to put questions to the witness, with a view of elucidating the truth, aware that he pos- sessed local information of which a stranger was necessarily desti- tute. The inferences drawn from his conduct respecting the body were also entirely unwarranted by the facts. He gave special or- ders to summon an ' experienced surgeon, and when he found that Mr. Barker, who was only a surgeon's assistant, attended, lie in- sisted on having the ad vice of a person of more weight, and accord- ingly. Mr, Coley, of Bridgnorth, was sent for. With Mr. Coley he dissected the body, and though it would have beea better to wait till the Jury had Eeetf it, still this was a mere error in judg- ment into which a person unskilled in law might innocently fall. Mr. Coley then expressed his opinion, that it was impossible to determine what was the cause of the bleeding : this opinion he had repeated oil his deposition on the inquest, though he had made a contrary statement on the trial, and in his affidavit on the present charge. The Jury went' into tiie room where the body lay with the face exposed, but its other parts covered with a sheet; he merely told them they need not miuutely examine it to spare their feel- ings ; but any of them might have removed the sheet, and, so far - from attempting to influence them, he left them for some time in the room where the body lay. He undoubtedly did, as charg- ed, dismiss twelve of the Jurors; but he did not do so until Mr. Coley had pronounced that it was impossible to decide on the cause of the bleeding, when he thought that, as the day was very cold and wet, there was no occasion to detain so many from their homes. He consulted Mr. Whitmore, whom he should dismiss, and on his suggestion took the most unexceptionable course— retaining four from three distinct townships whence the Jury had been summoned. He did not attempt to influence the Jury, but left them to exercise their free judgment on the evidence before them, which, according to Mr. Coley's testimony as then given, seemed the only conclusion to which they could arrive. The suggestions of corrupt motives must point either at the man himself or Mr. Whitmore; but could it be believed, for an instant, that the former would dare offer to bribe an entire stranger at first sight, or that the latter, a gentleman of great for- tune and exemplary character, who was accompanied by his bro- ther, a. Clergyman of the Church of England, would descend to such folly und baseness ? Mr. Whilmore. himself had made an affidavit; but as it was not filed, it could not be made the ground of remark. In conclusion, the 1. earned Counsel stated, that the Coroner himself positively denied that there was the least founda- tion for the grave and serious charge made against him, and ex- pressed his confident hope that the Court would think that he had completely proved it to be groundless. Mr. Corbetton the same side was proceeding to enter minutely into the facts of the case, with a view to fill up the outline which Mr. Jervis bad given, when The Lord Chief Justice suggested that it would be desirable, for the sake of the defendant, that the Court should give no opinion on any of the particular branches of the charge. It appeared to them at present, that, looking merely to Mr. Coley's affidavit, as contrasted with that of the defendant, the case ought to undergo further inquiry. They wished that inquiry to proceed without the slightest prejudice against the Coroner, and therefore they would give no opinion pn the bearings of any part of the depositions before them, further than to say that there appeared ground for inquiry. Mr. Jervis and Mr. Corbett yielded to this intimation, and the Court ordered the rule to be madeabsolute The case will be tried at the ensuing Assises tor Shropshire. JUNE 3— The King v. Maria Glenn.— Mr. Brougham begged leave to mention the ca'- c of this young Lady to the Court, though he scarcely knew in . what form he might be allowed to move. It would be well rememl. ief. ed that she had been convicted sometime! ago of perjury, arising ttut: » f a very extraordinary case, in which a prosccutionfurconspiracy had been successfully prosecuted against persons named Bowditch and others. At the time when her case should have been brought before the Court, she was in France, and in such a state a? rendered it impossible to communicate to her What was then pending. She now wished to co/ tie and receive the judgment of the Court; and the favour she desired was, that in order to tile perfect understanding of lier case, the notes of Mr. Justice Park of the first trial of the Bowditches should be in Court when she should appear. The Court replied, ( bat at present they could say nothing on the subject. If, cn the reading of the Report of the defendant's trial, they should themselves feel desirous of making further inquiry, they might avail themselves of the means of additional informa- tion within their power ; but they could give no opinion till the party was before them. It would not be fitting or conducive to the ends of public justice, were they to allow the pulse of the Court to be felt, in order that a party might regulate his own course as he might find it. When the party was before them, if they saw reason to think that the evidence did not sustain the verdict, they ' might grant a new trial ex debito justifies, but could not throw out any intimation in an intermediate stage. of the cause. _ Mr. Brougham, therefore, declined at present making any mo- tion in the case, and the conversation dropped. RIOTS IN DUBLIN..— Some acts of outrage were perpe- trated in Dublin on Sunday night, by the dregs of an Orange mob, who sallied out at twelve o'clock, and attacked the houses of Mr. Plunkett, in Stepiien's- grcen, Mr. Millikin, in Grafton- stceet, and some other persons of high respectability, including a gentle- man m Fitzwilliarh- square, and one or two in Aungier- street. The alarm occasioned to the female inhabitants of these dwellings, ahd the demolition of some panes of glass, was the amount of the damage done.—- Dublin Freeman's Journal.

COURT OF; COMMON PLEAS, MAT T). Elizabeth Watson v. James Bayliss This was an action brought to recover damages from the defendant, for the inconvenience sus- tained' by the plaintiff from the loss of the service of her servant by the seduction of the latter. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Tile damages were laid at 200/. Mr. Sergeant Pell, for the plaintiff, said, that the unfortunate subject of the present action was a servant girl named Sarah Moss, who resided with the plaintiff, Mrs. Watson, who was a widow lady residing within a mile of the city of Gloucester. In the course of the year 1821, she left her house upon a visit, and was gone nearly eleven weeks, during which time she left her house to the care of the unhappy girl, Sarah Moss. While the plaintiff was thus absent, the defendant, who was a farmer, was in the habit of coming to the house and assisting the servant, as he had formerly done, in the domestic business, by going to Gloucester market and purchasing the articles, niejtt, & c. necessary for consumption in the house. In doing this the defendant had acted in a most praise- worthy manner, and had he gone no farther in his assiduity, he would have merited the thanks of the plaintiff for his very kind and neighbourly conduct. But lie had taken advantage bf the op- portunities thus afforded him, and availing himself of an insidi- ous course of kindness, had acted in a manner at once disgraceful and criminal. The Learned Sergeant stated, that in saying this, he did not mean to address to the Jury any of the usual devalua- tion on the crime of seduction, witii that they had nothing to do, they were not to punish the defendant for his crime, as that might be done by another course, but merely to give compensation to the plaintiff for the loss and inconvenience which she had sustained in consequence of his criminality. The Jury could not, in the pre- sent action, be called upon to give such heavy damages as were usually given to compensate the injuries and outraged feelings of parents whose daughters were seduced; it was simply an action brought by the mistress for the loss of the services of a valuable servant, but the Jury might give damages not only for the loss of those services, but for the injury done in other respects, and upon the peculiar merits of the case. He believed that the defendant was not a man of large property, but he possessed property suffi- cient to answer any damages that could be given against him un- der the declaration in the case. The Learned Sergeant said he wished to say one word onithe present action being brought by the mistress, instead of the parents of the girl. By the law, a female was not permitted to bring an action for her own seduction, but gave the right to institute such an action to the parents, or to any other person whose interests might suffer by the seduction of tl\ e girl in the loss of her services. The unhappy female in this case, had not lived with her parents for the last eleven or twelve years, and they could not therefore claim any compensation for that loss of service which for so very long a time they had ceased to enjoy. The present plaintiff was therefore the only person who could le- gally state her loss from such a cause, and sne had felt it her im- perious duty to bring the present case before a Jury. The defen- dant would doubtless Urge other points to the Jury as part of his defence, and as he ( Mr. Sergeant Pell) would, in all probability, have no opportunity of replying to them, he wished now to make some observations respecting them. It would be objected against the case being tried here instead of at Gloucester; but the defen- dant, if he had any objection to it being tried at London, might have changed the venue to Gloucester. It might be asked, what loss could be sustained to the plain tiff' by the loss of the services of such a girl ? Her former excellent character might he destroyed by the seduction, and rendered valueless to her mistress. Should the defendant attempt to impeach the prior character of the unfor- tunate girl, he would find it a dangerous course; and, the Learned Sergeant observed, that he trusted no imputation would be cast on tho character of the girl, unless that imputation could be proved. In saying this, the Learned Sergeant felt it Would be the policy of the defendant to abstain from such futile imputations, for a Jury, who saw the moral character of a girl thus destroyed, and her pro- spects in life thus blasted, would visit such an aggravation of the injury by serious and exemplary damages. The first witness called was George Worrall Counsel, who stated that he resided at Gloucester, where Mrs. Watson, the plaintiff, who was a widow,- resided.. Sarah Moss lived with her for several years befbre her husband's death, Mr. Bayliss lived near her house. In May, 1822, witness wrote to him by the direction of Mrs. Watson, to inform him that Sarah Moss was pregnant by him, and calling upon him to make a provision. He returned no answer, but witness saw him afterwards. Witness told him it was a sad business, and advised him by no means to expose her, but to make some provision for her lying- in, and afterwards to make her a weekly allowance. But this he refused to do, alleging, in the first place, that he did not know that it was his child, and se- condly, that he was not in a condition to make such an allowance. He said, let her swear it, and then 1 shall be obliged to make such a provision as the Magistrates may direct. In Sept. 1821, Mrs. Watson left home, when Sarah Moss was left in care of the house. She was the only servant of Mrs. Watson. Cross- examined by Mr. Sergeant Cross Witness had come to town from Gloucester with the girl, Sarah Moss, at much expense. The Attorney who brought the action was Widow Watson's son. He did not know that the widow wa$ averse to this action being brought. Mr. Hough took the house while the widow was absent. He was a married man. Mr. Hough's son lived in the house. Re- examined.— The unfortunate young woman lived for twelve years with Mrs. Watson, and before the action was treated always rather as a friend than as a servant. By Mr. Sergeant Cross— Did not hear of her having any other children. Judging by appearance she might be near forty years of age ; she looked about thirty- five. The defendant, who was a single man, was about twenty- eight years of age. The girl, Sarah Moss, was then called. She appeared to be about thirty- five years of age, possessing no remarkable personal attrac- tions, and of rather a staid appearance. She deposed to this ef- fect ;— I have lived with Mrs. Watson for more than eleven years. I have both a father and mother residing in the Forest of Dean, which is about 20 miles from Gloucester. I remember when Mrs. Watson left the house to my care. It was in the latter end of May, 1321. Mr. Hough came in the house a little after she left, about a week. I have known the defendant about three years. He has been living with his father and friends, but I believe he has a place of his own. He told me that he had taken a small farm in Sand- hurst. I don't know why he mentioned it to me. I knew him be- fore Mrs. Watson left the house. He used to come backwards and forwards to the house. What is your age ?— I don't know rightly what it is, but I know I am above thirty. . Mrs. Watson is above fifty; I don't know what the defendant's age is. I was very intimate with Mr. Bayliss. He used to say va- rious things to me. He was more intimate with me . than with a com- mon acquaintance. I have had a child ; it was born on the 25th of May last. James Bayliss is the father of the. child. When I perceived my pregnancy, I told him of my situation, and reminded him of his promises. Had he made promises to you ? Mr. Sergeant Cross objected to having any evidence respecting promises. It was attempted for indirect and unfair purposes. Mr. Sergeant Peel denied any intention to obtain evidence by indirect or unfair means. He was infinitely above any thing of the kind. He submitted. to his Lordship that the question as to whether promises had beer, given was perfectly admissible ? Mr. Justice Park' held that promises could not. be received as evi- dence of a contract of marriage, but might be received as evidence of the general nature of the intimacy which might have subsisted, and of the character and manner in which, tiie defendant came to the house, whether honourably or otherwise. For otherwise, if the fact before them was simply that she hi- d submitted, she would be set down unjustly as a wanton. The witness resumed— The defendant had made me promises. When I told him of them, he said he had never promised no such a thing ; he had made me 110 promises. Since my being brought to bed in this way; he has never assisted me. Mrs. Watson was obliged to engage another servant in my absence when I was. put to bed. Cross- examined by Sergeant Cross.— Mrs. Watson wished the action to be made up. Mrs. Watson won't pay all the expense. Mr. Watson the attorney will pay part. Mrs. Watson wished to prevent tbe exposure of my character. She could not get another servant. She was obliged to leave her house in consequence of my absence. She paid me my full wages during my absence. My wages was fen guineas a year. She told her son not to proceed in the action if the defendant would come forward with any offer. The fact took place while Mr. Hough's family was in the house. He could get out when he camc in to me. There was the back door and the kitchen door open, though the front door was open. He never went into the parlour when Mr. Hough was sitting there. He did " not visit Mr. Hough. I never used to meet him o'. i the way to Gloucester. Mrs. Watson wanted to settle the action, but her, son wrote down to her and said he was not to be melted by wo- men's tears; - he said he was of sterner stuff. I lost my child in about three months . after. ^ Re- examined— At the time this unhappy affair took place in the kitchen, Mr. Hough was an invalid. By the Judge— I don't know whether the doors were shut; I don't know whether if I had called out, Mr. Hough might have heard me. He made the promises I mentioned before he accom- plished my seduction. The parlour is separated from the kitchen by a passage and a brewhouse. The defendant was, at the desire of Mr. Sergeant Pell, pointed out in Court by tho witness., The defendant is a young fresh- co- loured looking man, and appeared like the son of a small farmer. Mr. Sergeant Cross rose to reply He said his Learned Bro- ther, who conducted the case for the plaintiff, had been so careful in anticipating the grounds of defence as really to leave him very little to say, and in his candour claiming only— some serious da- mages. But why had the cause been brought up to London at a ruinous expense to be tried, unless for two reasons" First, because it should not be tried by the neighbours who know tho character of the parties, and secondly, because that Mr. Watson, the Attor- ney, and widow's son, might, by bringing the action in town, greatly enhance the expenses, and try it greatly to the disadvan- tage of the defendant, who could only bring up his witnesses at a ruinous expense. But the Jury might be assured, that if they gave a shilling damages ( which would carry costs) the poor far- mer's boy whom they saw before them, must pay as an insolvent. Punishment had been called down upon his head, but he ( Ser- geant Cross) could inform the Jury that the defendant had been punished, severely punished, before the present action was brought, for the indiscretion of a night. But he objected that punishment was not due to him ; for the whole came to this, that if lie had al- lowed the intimacy to arrive at a criminal excess, she was equally criminal, she was parliceps criminis, and must bear the conse- quences. It had been urged that the defendant had gained his purposes by promises which he had never performed; but it was the invariable practice of women, when they told their own stories, to state that they had given themselves up conditionally, and there was not a girl who fathered a child before a Magistrate who did not represent that she had been " deluded" by promises. Then where was the proof that a farthing damages had been sustained ? There was no evidence that the plaintiff had been put to any ex- pense. If she paid any thing towards the expenses of child- birth it was voluntary, and she could not claim it of the defendant. There was no loss of character— the family was not stigmatised, that was clear, for the girl was taken back again into service: she had sustained no inconvenience that she ought not fairly to sustain; the child was dead, and all was now well again. Iu conclusion, ho urged that the case was not one for damages, and that if a shil- ling were given, the defendant must pay it as insolvent. Mr. Justice Park, In his charge to the Jury, suited tualyin th whole course of his experience, he had never met with so singular a declaration as that upon which the present action was brought, for the declaration did not, as was usual, claim damages for the " loss of service," but alleged that the plaintiff " was forced and ' obliged to absent herself" from home in consequence of the seduc tion of her servant, and for that she sought damages. Undoubt- edly, a master or a mistress, when a girl was unprotected, did a most righteous act in bringing a seducer to punishment, and 110 man living could have a greater horror for tlie crime of seduction than he ( Mr. Justice Park) had, but whilst they took care not to loosen the bonds of morality, it was equally their duty not to go beyond the bounds of the law. Really he did not know what da- mages the Jury ought to give in such case, arid such a declaration. They must not suffer themselves to be run away with by tlie feel- ings natural upon such occasions. The unfortunate girl had no remedy in law for the simple act of seduction ; therefore, whether she had been well or ill used was not the question upon this ac- tion. She had a remedy by an action for the breach of promise of marriage. The only question was, what damages had Mrs. Wat- son sustained. The fact of the seduction was ciear, and, assum- ing that there was legitimate cause of action, what damages could they give in such a case ? The Jury ought to take into their con- sideration the most singular fact of the action being brought in London, where the defendant must be put to an enormous expense, in bringing and keeping his witnesses, while two Assizes had been suffered to elapse, at which justice might have been obtained by the parties speedily, at their own doors, had it been required. The defendant could not easily have changed the venue. It ought also to be considered that the girl was much older than the defendant. It was a kind and generous act in the plaintiff to take back the girl, but it did not appear in evidence that, she iiad sustained any damages by the loss of her services, for no loss had been proved. The Jury could give no damages, for the supposed injury which- the girl had received, for the remedy far that must be sought iu another manner : they could give the plaintiff no damages for any expense which she might have been at with the child, for she had incurred that expense voluntarily, and could not claim it of the defendant. In short, the Learned Judge said, he did not know whether he cou'id recommend tlieui to give any damages. He had never seen such a case before, and he left it entirely in the hands of the Jury. The Foreman of the Jury said, " My Lord, cannot we divide the costs ?" Mr. Justice Park said. that, a wise opinion of the case was ex- pressed by the question, but the costs could not be divided. His Lordihip, however, recommended the intimation to the attention of tho parties. 1 After some conversation, a verdict of Vis, Damages was taken, by consent, each party paying their own costs. EXTRAORDINARY TAKE or MACKSRG L.— Monday- morning, about seven o'clock, an immense quantity of mackerel were hauled on shore at Deal, having be$ n caught in a seine net, to the number of about 7000, a circumstance unprecedented in the annals of fishery; the whole- of which were purchased in the course of an hour after, to the great satisfaction of the fishermen, at the rate of 17s. per 100. A SURPRISE.— A few evenings since, a party of young men were returning from a public- house a short distance from the outskirts of Brighton, when they observed a man walking arm in arm with a female companion, at no great distance from tnem, ap- parently engaged in saying all the sottamorous nothings that cus- tom has rendered it necessary for our sex to adopt, as the prepara- tory routine to more substantial joys. Instead of revelling in all the fine- drawn luxuries of sympathetic happiness in the consci- ousness of knowing others are pleased, our merry party felt the most resistless desire to interrupt the ante- nuptial pleasures of the loving pair; and one of them, with a rudeness that time and place alike condemned, thrust himself between the amorous twain, and disunited them, snatching with no gentle force the reluctant hand of the " fair unknown," while hisfriend kept at bay her male com- panion ; our pot- valiant hero was about to ravish a kiss— when, ye Powers ! how can the surprise of our now sobered friend be imagined, when he found the object of his buccaneering adventure was in fact a lawful prize, and in the person of the disappointed fair one traced the well- known features of his own wife I— Brigh- ton Chronicle.
