Prii WE have received the Paris Papers of Monday, j,'^ and the Etoile of yesterday. In tho latter we cr", find a speech delivered by the Russian ,;. li- Cap nister, Pozzo di Borgo, to Ferdinand, ( who the' has conferred upon him the Order of the Golden Fleece), in star which there are some important indications of the probable not! policy of his Imperial Master. The allusions which are s;> iroi pointedly made to the " vast dominions" of the King of ™ e Spain, and his " numerous kingdoms" shew that the Allies ™ * of Ferdinand have not yet, abandoned the notion of their j, in forming part of the territories subject to the Spanish Crown. The Secretary ofthe Ship- owners' Society had, onBatur- tc'(., day, an interview with Government, at the instance of sc- cm veral of the merchants and ship- owners engaged in the trade jn i with Spanish America, f'or the purpose of ascertaining whe- beo ther there was any real foundation for the rumours which ing have been circulated in some of the newspapers, of its being sui the intention of the French Goverment to assist Spain in c, u attempting the reconquest of her late Colonies. The most satisfactory and unqualified assurances were given by Go- j'? vernment'that there was not the slightest pretence for im- ^ puting any such design to the French Government, that the of French frigate " Jean Bart," winch had sailed some time eas since from France to the West Indies, was on her return to t], i France, and that no force was going out from France to the l West Indies, excepting 500 men for relieving the garrisons wi nf Martinique and Guadaloupe. It was stated to Govern- wi inent, that fourteen ships were now loading in London and ( le, Liverpool for the Spanish American ports, and that, of l » h course, if the rumour alluded to had been well founded, it ml would not be prudent for the merchants to continue sending T?.' their property in that direction. The answer given to this ^ was, that Go'veminent saw no reason why flic commercial an intercourse which individuals might think proper to carry ^ on with those countries, should ho suspended. There are w] only three French ships of war in the West Indies, viz. su Vesta, 60 guns; and Thetis and Concorde frigates. : an There is no truth in the statement that our Army is to be tli increased to the amount of 10,000 men. There is to be an th addition made to our military force, hut nothing like the a- hi: mount mentioned. The increase will he merely sufficient b) to replace the troops which are destined for our West India J; 1 Colonies. This measure is rendered necessary, in conse- a'r quence of the very low scale to which our military establish- j- 0 ments have been reduced; so that any extra demand for . se troops, though it be only two or three regiments, leaves a ( i; positive deficiency in some other branch of the service. ta Advices from Demarara, of 26th Sept. were received on tli Saturday. Since the previous arrivals, tlie trunquillitv of uj the colony had experienced no interruption. The trial of ' is Smith, the missionary, was to take place on the following j w day. The Negro, Jack, the son of Quamina, tho ringleader 01 in the insurrection, had given testimony considered so ini- c} portant that it was expected he would be pardoned, in or- " r der to be admitted an evidence. It i3 remarkable that at the time Quamina was shot, in consequence of the failure of ! j, all attempts to take him alive, there was found on his per- i - j son a Bible, with the leaf doubled down, which contains the j tl 8th chapter of the book of Joshua.— Courier. ' a COLOMBIA.— A Report has been presented to the Con- 0 gress by the Minister of the Interior; similar Reports from the 1 Cl other Departments of Government have been made, but they pos- a sess fewer topics of general interest than the one in question, which \ } makes us acquainted with the condition of the people under some > 11 of their most important relations. The Governments of Colombia ! i and Buenos Ayres arc, at present, the most settled and formed, of ! v any of the South American Republics, and England has a deep ' 1 interest in their progressive prosperity. The permanency of their : ® independence must arise from the wisdom of their institutions, j 1 and it is therefore gratifying to have before us, such evidence of | t sound principle and prudent management, as is contained in this i 1 Report. Whoever is acquainted with the wretched system pursued j f by Spain during the long period of her dominion over these fine , 1 regions, must experience sensations of wonder and delight to see , N what has already been done under the happy auspices of freedom. ; 4 The manumission of slaves, the equality of rights granted to tile 1 ' native Indians, the establishment of charitable institutions, the < 5 foundation of public schools, the encouragement of industry, the | privilege of a free press— these are among the great and admirable . 1 efforts now making, by the Government of Colombia, for the wcl- j 1 rare_ or ii, e xmyerned. It is not to be supposed that these measures ; can immediately work all the good they arc calculated to produce; 1 but it is impossible they can continue in operation without ulti- uiately doing so. ' CAPT. PARRY'S PROJECTED VOYAGE.— Reports have ' been in circulation for some time, of another voyage to be under- 1 taken by that intrepid navigator, who has now passed three win- j ters frozen up at the North Pole. At length these reports have : • assumed a more authentic shape, and we are able to inform our 1 readers, that Capt. Parry is certainly to proceed on another voyage, and to point out the course he is to pursue. It will probably be recollected, that the Captain, in his first voyage, discovered, after entering Lancaster Sound, but did not explore, an opening, which • ' he called Prince Regent's Inlet— leaving that, which seemed to turn to the South West, on his left hand, he proceeded, beset with iee and dangers, strait forward, as it were, in a North Wcsterley direction. This inlet promised well at the time, but the body of Lancaster Sound was not then explored, ar. t! therefore the inlet wife necessarily passed by. We understand, that the Admiralty i have resolved that this inlet shall also he examined, in order that > 10 opening which promises success may be neglected. Capt. Parry is, therefore, to proceed the ensuing summer, in his old and good ship the Hecla, to Prince Regent's Inlet. From the situation where Ilearn discovered the sea, and the apparent direction of this Inlet, we should be led to anticipate a favourable result; and we are given to understand, that Capt. Parry expects to succeed, if I anywhere, in this direction. If the wished- for discovery should | not be made in this direction, at least so enterprising an offi- j ccr cannot be employed there without adding more even than ' • lie has hitherto done to our knowledge of regions, which, before I modern improvements had taught, us to master the elements, were I inaccessildc to the inhabitants of temperate climatcs. From his 1 perseverance, however, we hope much, and look forward with some confidence U> this third and last voyage accomplishing its oh- 1 ject, or demonstrating for ever its utter impossibility. Mr. Irving on Sunday preached his first sermon since his return from Scotland : the concourse at the Caledonian Cha- pel was very great. The text was taken from the 1st Epistle to the Thessalonians, chap. iii. from the 8th verse to the end : " For now we live, if ye stand fast ill the Lord. For what thanks can we render to God again for you ; for all the joy wherewith we joyed for your sakes belore our God; night and day praying ex- ceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which was lacking in your faith ?" & c. & c. The sermon was in great part applicable to Mr. Irving's recent absence, during which he said lie had not been un- mindful of the flock that he hail left behind, but 011 the con- trary had occupied himself amidst the scenes of his youth in preparing a series of discourses, to which the present was introductory, on their Christian duties, particularly that of Divine Worship. He exhorted them to Spiritual union, and st rongly reprobated the conduct both of those strangers who came from mere motives of curiosity, and of those members < if the congregation who brought persons for the gratifica- tion of such motives. In the church at Prague is a charter, said to be the ori- ginal one, of Alexander tho Great, which, if genuine, is un- doubtedly the most ancient record in Europe. The follow- ing is a translation of its tenor—" We, Alexander the Great, son of King Philip, founder of the Grecian Empire, Governor of the Persians, Medes, Syrians, Indians, & c. and of the whole world, from east to west, and from north to south ; son of great Jupiter, by, & c— so called— to you, the noble stock of Sclavomans and your lineage, because ye have been unto us a help, true in faith and valiant in war, we confirm all that tract of earth, from the north to the soulli of Italy, from us to our successors, to you and your poste- rity, for ever; and, if any other nation be found there, let them be your slaves^— Dated at Alexandria, the 12th of the Goddess Minerva— Witness Ethra and 11 Princes, whom wo appoint our successor." Mrs. Bankes, the wife of the Hon. Member f'or Corfe Castle, died 011 Monday, somewhat suddenly, at Mr. Bankes's town residence, in New Palace Yard, Westminster. Mr. Bankes, his wife and family having been at their beautiful country residence, Corfe Castle, became so seriously indis- posed; that a few days ago it was requisite f'or him to come to town to have some operation performed upon him. He was accompanied by Mrs. Bankes, who was then in good health ; but she soon afterwards became indisposed, and in the course of two or three days was a corpse. There were consultations of four or five physicians; but the hand of death was 011 their patient, and their skill could not arrest it. The Hull Packet says, " Capt. W. Little, of the Maida, of this port, arrived from Miramichie, was examined on Sa- : urday ( 22( 1 instant) before the Magistrates here, charged / ith shooting one of the crew, a young man named Mason, belonging to Dartmouth. The shocking occurrence took place a few days after the vessel Sailed from Miramichie, in consequence of a dispute between Capt. Little and . his men. The particulars are variously stated ; hut which it would be nproper, in the present state of the business, even if eor- ; ct, to lay before our readers; as Capt. Little will, we un- ji'stand; be brolight up for further examination The bo- i of'the young man was brought home in the ship, and in- rred in the church- yard at Drypool on Saturday." SHIPWRECK ON A DESERT ISLAND.— On the .0th of May, 1820, the smack Princess of Wale sailed from London for Prince Edward's Island, in the Indian sea, for the purpose of / ' catching seals, which sea they reached 17th March, 1821. At mid- 1 night she struck on the rocks of the Island of Crozette, and the ce( crew got out the long boat, notwithstanding the proposal of the NI Captain, who, acquainted with the desolation that prevailed 011 10 the island, thought it would be better to go down than to b » ave br; starvation and other miseries. They reached shore, having saved els nothing from the wreck but a tinder- box, a frying- pan, a grid- mi iron, a lance, and a few knives. Before this occurrence, eignt of the crew had left the smack in a boat with the intent to fish close to another island, on which they were obliged to go ashore, and an next morning each party thought the other lost. Those who had tit landed in the island of Crozette were seven in number. The night '"> was as dark as pitch, and the sufferers had no other means of pro- wi tection- ihan the boat, which they turned over themselves as a se- m curity against the sea- elephants, which were in great abundance Li in the neighbourhood. In the morning they saw the vessel oil her Co beam- ends, with a large hole in the bottom, and a heavy sea wash- over her. With difficulty, on account of the heavy sea, they ar succeeded after several attempts, in getting possession of a few chests of spoiled bread, a part of one of the sails, some rigging, 1- and at last they got hold of the mast, which was soon separated at by the storm from the vessel. For three weeks they lay under the boat, being prevented from building a hut by the inclemency of '' the weather. They lived upon birds and the tongues and hearts of the sea- elephants. The former they were enabled to catch with T ease; the latter they killed with the lance which they saved from the wreck. In the course of a month from this period they raised -- a hut with the materials saved from the wreck, covered the roof 1 with the skins of the sea elephants, and made beds of grass. Their - j winter, in consequence of the island being in about forty- seven degrees south latitude, and fortv- seven degrees east longitude, took n' place at the period ,. f our summer season ; but, indeed, so ipclc- 81 mcnt was the weather during their abode these, that the summer may be said to be limited to one month. Their clothes lasted un- tc til December, when they were obliged to'use seal skins, which they n sewed together with the sinews of the sea elephant, by means of an old nail. Their whole time was occupied between eating and P' lying in wait for the sea elephants and birds, in reading a Bible, P which had been saved from the wreck, and co- operated, with the 8 sufferings they had undergone, in reforming the most dissolute j amongst them. The month of December had not ended, when B they were astonished and delighted at seeing a boat rowd up to sl the beach, and their eight shipmates, who they feared had been lost, s' land upon the island. It happened that the very plans adopted P by the one party had been acted upon by the other. They were dressed in the same manner, and had lived in the same way; but j v those who had left their island had not been able to raise a but, : P and had ventured again upon the water, in search of a more com- 1 " [ fortable abode, which they found amongst their friends, after a j v search to the distance of about 40 miles. The two islands wero a distant from each other upwards o. f 10 leagues; and the inhabi- tants being thus collected, and having lived together three weeks, the means of living began to become more slack, and it was agreed t' upon that five ofthe number should go back to the neighbouring [' ' island to live upon the produce there, while those who remained r | where they were should build a vessel of the materials of the hut j and the planks of some houses which the Americans had formerly j . , erected, and were buried in the sand. After the most dreadful fa- tigue, they succeeded in building a stone house, and were at the ^ same time proceeding with the ship in which, wretched as it must necessarily be, they were determined to attempt to return home. J | In about five months a lugger of about 12 tons was completed. . They launched her, and intended to depart the day after, but to | ; : their dismay, 011 the very night of the launch, she was blown '< j j amongst the rocks, and her stern was beaten in. Scarccly, how- 1 . ' ever, liad this calamity occurred, when an old fellow, who was : . e ! constantly employed 011 the look out, cried out, " A sail." Tliey ! ( . ! all looked in the same direction, but the general opinion was, that j i, i the sail was no other than a large bird which had often led them | e. ; into error of the same sort. They, however, lighted a fire with 1 a 1 the blubber of the sea elephant, their only fuel, on the most ele- j , f | vated part of the island, to attract the attention of the vessel if p ! there should be one in sight. They soon saw a schooner, which ; r sent a boat ashore. The shipwrecked seamen ran towards this dc- , ligiitful object, but as their seal skin trowsers retarded their pro- j , f ! gress they threw them off, and the crew of the schooner actually 1 is 1 took them for a new race of inhabitants. So great was the desire ' j j of the unfortunate fellows to get on board, that they actually ran j e | into the water, and swam towards the vessel, where thev were pro- , c ' vided with every thing they were in want of. The schooner was u j the Philo, of Boston, Capt. Percival. By him they were kindly ie j taken 011 board in the month of January, 1823, after having been ,' e j confined for 22 months, to this wild, savage, and desolate spot. le With the schooner they, went, first to the other island and picked le up five of their companions, who had been obliged to go over there ]_ t on account of the scarcity of provisions. They were taken to the ES I Isle of F'rance, and two of them, named Valeand Peterbridge, camc 1 home in the Lord Exmouth, Capt. Evans. These poor men arc quite destitute, and remain under the pro- tection of tho Rev. C. Smith, of the Friends of Seamen's Society, Tg the Secretary to wliich has inquired into the truth of the circum- stances detailed, A few days ago the two sailors were brought be- fore the Lord Mayor by the Society, but his Lordship could ren- " ) der them no permanent assistance, but approved of a plan of rais- • ing a fund for the benefit of shipwrecked mariners, e, WRECK OF THE BRIG MONARCH.— On Sunday morn- , e ing, 14t. h Sept. at three, A. M. the Monarch, of Aberdeen, bound er from Newry to Quebec, in a thick fog and wind S. W. struck on ; h a sunken rock on the S. E. side of the Island of St. Paul; but for- to tunately for the crew and passengers, she beat over it, and came th ill contact with the cliff's ot the Island. There were 30 persons on jy board when the vessel struck, 12 of them seamen, the others pas- of sengcrs, five of whom were drowned, and many of the survivors et dreadfully wounded. The Captain and crew, who were particu- ty \ larly active in their endeavours to save the lives of the passengers, iat i fortunately sustained but trifling injury. The method they adopted ry to " et on shore, was by cutting av. av the masts which fell on the od rocks, and by the greatest exertions twenty- five of their number on succeeded in getting to land. The vessel held together but ten lis minutes after they Were landed, and the whole of the passengers » rc anil part of the crew being at rest when she struck, they were con sequently cast naked on shore. In this deplorable state they re- iM I m," lined three days 011 the Island without any thing to subsist on fi_ but a few pieces of pork, which fortunately floated 011 shore from an the wreck, and which they were obliged to cat raw ; some cloth- ire ing, which a'lso came on shore, assisted, in part, to cover their na- • re j kedness. Luckily, on themorning of the 17th. the slifp Generous liPlanter, of London, from this port, hove in sight of the Island, ith and on perceiving their signals, succeeded in rescuing them from ib- 1 their perilous situation. The Captain ( Woodford) afforded them every assistance which their distress required, and is deserving of ( j3 the greatest praise for his humane alia gentlemanly conduct to- ui- wa" ls t^ lem* The Captain, mate, and one passenger, went home ," in the Generous Planter ; the remainder have arrived here in the " Sir James Kempt, to which vessel they were transferred by Capt. ''! Woodford. Captain Stewart, of the Sir James Kempt, rendered lks them every assistance which his means would allow, and is equally wc; entitled to their gratitude. Two of the passengers were preachers, • x" one of the Presbyterian, and the other of the Methodist connec- lat tion— Quebec Paper. SATURDAY'S POST. LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20. WE lwve received the Madrid Gazette ofthe 20th inst. which contains a very important Decree, signed hy the King on the preceding day. By this Decree, a Council of Ministers is created, similar in their functions to the Cabinet Council that was established bv Philip V. in 1714, and the Supreme . Tunta of States, in- stituted hy Charles III. in 1787 We should judge, from the tenor of this Decree, that it is Ferdinand's intention to rule by and with the advice of this Council, without esta- blishing any form of representative Government, and pro- bably without bestowing upon his subjects even the name of a constitutional Charter. This Decree addressed to Don Victor Saez, concludes in the following words: " In this Council all questions of general utility will be consi- dered ; each Minister will give an account of the affairs belong- ing to the Secretaryship of his Department; the Council will re- ceive all my Resolutions, and will atteud to their execution. The results of the deliberations of the Council will be recotded in a book, together with the reasons which may have led to such re- sults. When I am not present, you, as my first Minister of State, will preside, and the Secretary for the Office of Grace and Justice will take his seat at the deliberations, and keep under his care the books drained to record them." M. de Erro, who negotiated the liayal Loan with M. Guebhard, is confirmed in liis appointment as Minister of Finance, and nominated one of the new Council. The Corregidor of Madrid has been admitted to the ho- nour of congratulating the King upon his deliverance and happy return to that capital. This Magistrate, in his Ad- dress to the Throne, did not forget to render homage to the valour of the French army, and to the virtues of its august Generalissimo. By Paris Papers, it appears probable that another unfor- tunate member of the Cortes, Don Manuel Sainz de Burn- ago, Ex- Vicar of the parish of Cazeras, in the Archbishop- ric of Toledo, has fallen into the hands of the Royalists, and there appears little doubt but that, like Riego, he will be sa- crificed, as he voted for the removal of the King to Cadiz, and the appointment of a Regency. He was conveyed to < Jrnpesa, where he was closely guarded, until orders should be received from the Government to direct in what manner he should be disposed ot It seems that there is to be a Congress of Ministers at Petersburgh, for the affairs of the Fast, and a Congress at Paris, for the affairs of the South American Colonies. New York Papers to the 2tl inst. and Boston and Charles- ton to the 30th ult. were received yesterday. They con- tain interesting details respecting Mexico, and more parti- cularly as relating to a quarrel between the Governors of Vera Cruz, and of the castle of San Juan de Ulloa, which threatened serious consequences to the former place. In- deed, if the intelligence received at the New England Cof- fee House should prove correct, the town of Vera Cruz had been razed to the ground, by the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa. On Wednesday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of a Director, in the room of Chas. Grant, Esq. deceased. At six o'clock the glasses were delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to have fallen on . John Masterman, Esq. The number of votes for Mr. Mas- terman was 1121; for Mr. Muspratt, 45!). We have great pleasure in stating that by the last letters received from IllC lia, some hope was entertained that Mr. Spankie might still survive, he was about to he removed to another part of the country, for a change of air, which, it was hoped, might produce some good. We learn by Calcutta Papers that Mr. Ravenscroft, lately collector at Cawnpore, who owing to embarrassments had quitted the Company's territories, and lived in a secluded spot in the vicinity of Secrore, was murdered on the night of 7th May by a party of Decoit robbers, who broke into his dwelling for purposes of plunder. Mrs. Ravenscroft and her infant were not molested.- The Court Martial on Captain Harris has assembled' at Portsmouth. Admiral Sir James Hawkins Whitshed is Pre- sident ; and Mr. Croker attends the Court. The Duke of Clarence, the Duke of Wellington, and Gen. Grosvenor, are on a visit at Beaudesert, near Lichfield, the seat of the Marquis of Anglesea. The Duke of York was expected yesterday. The New Post- Office will be finished and quite ready for occupation in three years from the present time. Mr. Ro- bert Smirke, jun. is the Architect, imder the inspection of the Board of' Works. The City pay one- third of the ex- pence. The offices and all the interior departments of the new building will be arranged under the direction of that • excellent servant ofthe public, Mr. Freeling. Wednesday, the Gentlemen who usually bid for the Lot- tery attended at the Treasury, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer accepted the offer made by Mr. Sivewright for 20,090 Tickets, to be drawn on or before the 22d of May next, of 137. 8s. per Ticket. The nomination of a gentleman to represent the county of Lincoln, in the room of the late Member, Mr. Pelham, now Lord Yarborough, took place at Lincoln on Tuesday last. There were two candidates for the vacancy, viz. Sir Wm. Ingilby, who was proposed by the Rev. Sir Charles Anderson, Hart, and seconded by Major Cracroft; and Sir John Hayford Thorold, proposed by Colonel Johnson, and seconded hy Mr. Bourne. Upon the shew of hands, the High Sheriff declared the choice of the county to have fallen oil the latter. A poll was then demanded by Sir W. Ingilby; and at the close on Wednesday, the numbers were— For Sir William Ingilby 3C5, Sir John Thorold 280; Majority: for Sir William 105. A tale of severe suffering at sea is related in a letter from Falmouth, dated 18th inst. An American brig named the Ardent, of Boston, was wrecked on 26th Sept. on her return from a whaling voyage. The vessel remained aground till the 25th ult. at which period it On Thursday morning last died, in the Fleet Prison, Mr. George Pickett, who has been confined there since the year 1800, for contempt of Court. Whilst tbe unfortunate men were undergoing the awful sentence of the law, in tbe Old Bailey, oil Wednesday, a gentleman, named Bartleman, residing in Shoreditch High- street, was hustled by two fellows, who with the greatest impudence tore open his coat, and stole from his side pocket a note- case, which contained a bill of exchange, ut three months date, on a respectable house in the City, for 80?. and some other memorandums. Mr. B. struggled" with the fel- lows whilst they were robbing him, but he was by the crowd prevented from" securing them. On Monday night, or early on Tuesday morning, the house of J. R. Bridges, Esq. 36, Mecklenburgh- square, was bro- ken into, antl robbed of property to the amount of 1500/. and upwards, consisting of jewellery, silver table, tea, dessert, and salt spoons, tea- pot, sauce- boats, ladles, goblets, fun- nels, wine- labels, Salts, five 107. Bank notes, and a few arti- cles of wearing apparel; one necklace that was taken was worth GOOl. The robbers effected the robbery and their es- cape without disturbing any of the family. MURDER OF Mr. WeARE.— Yesterday morning, Mr. Geo. Nicholson, who is one of the solicitors for the prosecution of its situation was discovered, and succour afforded, by the Lord Sidmouth packet, then on her voyage from New York to Falmouth. During the whole of that time, the unfortunate crew of the Ardent had little food or water, and 110 shelter whatever from the inclemency of the weather. They were originally 14 in number, but when taken up by the Lord Sidmouth, nine had died from their sufferings; and of th- r> remaining five, the mate died soon after being taken on board the packet. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.— Within a few miles of Ath- lone, on Friday night, two small parties of Major Wills' police, fell in with nearly 100 Ribbonmen ; when firing commenced on both sides, two of the Ribbonmen were killed, and one armed with a pike was taken prisoner. On Sunday night a large stack of oats, the property of a person named Nunan, was set fire to at Ballyan- drew, within a quarter of a mile of Doneraile. The house of one Green, near Buttevant, was also attacked by a large armed party, and he was dreadfully beaten, his thigh broken, and one of his eyes knocked out. Two men named Lyons and Vallons, keepers on the lands of Tully, co. Limerick, were murdered on Wednesday night. In consequence of a writ of Mandamus from the Court of King's Bench, the Mayor and Corporation of Bodmin as- sembled at the Guildhall on 17th inst. for the purpose of electing a mayor; when W. R. Gilbert, Esq. was chosen by a majority of 18 to 17- The Marshal of the King's Bench prison, on the night of 17th inst. detected eleven of the prisoners confined for debt playing at hazard, in the room of a Mr. Stevens, also an in- mate of the prison. Mr. Jones, the Marshal, moved the Court of King's Bench against them for the offence; when the Court ordered Stevens to the strong room f'or one month, and nine others to be restricted from the rules for the same period. Portable ga3 is getting into general use. At a meeting of the Cambridge Bible Society, the Theatre in which it was held, was lighted by this material; and it was observed, that il had a most pleasing and brilliant effect. A Cotton Mill, thirty yards long by ten yards wide, si- tuated at Goit- Stock, near Binglcy, Yorkshire, tbe property of Mr. J. G. Horsfall, has within : t fortnight, been raised a story, by the application of the Hydraulic Press, without disturbing the roof or displacing any of the machinery. This operation is performed by placing the pump under the raf- ters in succession, and working the piston, when the roof is seen to rise about eight inches at a time, and stones of the re- quisite- dimensions are introduced in succession, till a course of stone is placed all round the mill; the pump is then again applied in the same manner as before, and other stones plac- ed, till at length the story is completed, and the additional room gained without affecting the stability of the edifice. On' Tuesday afternoon an afflicting circumstance took place at the brewery of Messrs. Hudson and Gibson, Cros- by- row, King- street, Southwark - Mr. Gibson, one of the partners, who has unhappily been for some time suffering under severe nervous irritation, was missing for about an hour, but which excited no particular alarm until one of the men observed a red fluid trickling on the floor from the loft above him ; on investigation lie discovered it to be warm blood, and an immediate examination of tbe loft taking place, the unhappy gentleman was found writhing on the ensan- guined floor, with his throat cut from ear to ear, and ihe in- strument of destruction, a razor, lying near him. Surgical aid was promptly obtained, when it was deemed necessary to have him directly conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where lie continues without the slightest hope of recovery. Disap- pointment lately experienced, acting upon an already dis- eased mind, is supposed to have led lo the dreadful act. Veaterday morning, the neighbourhood of Tiverton Row, Stone's End, Borough, was a scene of the greatest confusion, in consequence of the dwelling- house of a lady, named Roy, residing at No. 8, in the Row, having, during the night, been forcibly entered by thieves, who had carried off the dead bo- dy of an old gentleman, named Dickenson, that was lying in a coffin in the dining- room. It was the intention of his friends to have buried him yesterday; and when the robbery was discovered by his two daughters, who went to take the last look at their parent, they went into violent fits. A young man who lodged in the house, named Turton, has been apprehended oii suspicion of the robbery. Search has been made for the body at all the hospitals, & c. without effect. the prisoners indicted for the murder of Mr. Weare, repaired ti the prison at Hertford, anil officially intimated to Hunt, that hi: confession will not be received, and that he will be put upon hi; trial for the capital offence. He also informed him, that a com- munication to that effect had been transmitted to his solicitor, Mr. Harmer; nevertheless, be felt it to be his duty to repeat it per- sonally to himself. On Wednesday night, pursuant to a previ- ous arrangement, Mr. Geo. Nicholson visited Probert, in company with Mr. Williams, who is solicitor for the latter.- Probert bad previously sent by his solicitor a communication to Mr. Nicholson, the purport of which was, that lie was desirous of making a full disclosure of every thing he knew of the dreadful transaction in which he was involved, provided any chance were held out to him of benefit from his disclosures. Mr. Nicholson then declined com- mitting himself or the prisoner by entering into stipulations, but merely stated, that whenever Mr. Williams had prepared Probert for his ( Mr. Nicholson's) visit, he would attend him, hear what he might have to say, and represent it in the proper quarter; but he also expressly stated that lie could not, and would not, enter into tile slightest stipulation; that he would merely obey Probert's de- sire that he should he present when he made his disclosure to bis solicitor; but that he ( Mr. Nicholson) would not even put a single question to the prisoner. Upon this understanding, Mr. Nichol- son visited Probert, in company with Mr. Williams, on Wednes- day night; they remained a considerable time with the prisoner, who freely, and expressly of his own accord, gave; a circumstantial narrative of bis whole lite, and particularly of his connexion with John and Thomas Thurtell. He described the origin of bis ac- quaintance with ( he Thurtells, and liis- prcsent statement of bis knowledge of Mr. Weare's murder does not differ from that which he has already made. The indictments are now preparing agninstftbe three prisoners. Mr. Gurney, Mr. Holland, and Mr. Broderick, are retained for the prosecution. Mr. Chitty, Mr. Andrews, and one or two others, are retained for the prisoners. Thurtell was yesterday informed that Hunt would be capitally tried with him, and for the first time, and in contradiction to his usual feeling towards that prisoner, he expressed something like concern for his situation. It appears that the confession made by Hunt was conditionally accepted, upon the understanding that lie was not a party directly implicated in the principal transaction, or not giving at the time, or soon after, that concert which was of es- sential service to the principal actor. There being reasons for im- pugning the veracity of his statement, he will be put upon his trial as is already mentioned. Up to the latest moment, Hunt indulged in the hope that he would he received as an approver, and it is needless to state that the intelligence came upon him like a shock. He was deprived of all utterance, and appeared overwhelmed with terror. Thurtell maintains his usual composure : lie was yesterday get- ting rid of his stock of eggs, which he said had accumulated in his room, by making pancakes, and lighting the lire with whatever loose papers were within his reach, without reference to their in- trinsic value. He says he will give the fullest disclosure of the later events of his life, and the society in which be has sacrificed his character. COURT or KING'S BENCH, NOV. 20.— The KING v. Edward Bevan, Esq Mr. Bevan, a Magistrate of Herefordshire, who was convicted at the last assizes for that county on a criminal information, charging him with illegally imprisoning two labourers, named Probert and Bolton, now appeared to receive judgment. Mr. Justice Best read the evidence at the trial. It may be re membered that it was then proved that Mr. Austin, a miller at Kington, employed workmen to cleanse the watercourse turning his mill, which passed by Mr. Bevan's house; that Mr. Bevan, after requiring them t « desist, sent Probert, one of the men, to the round- house, where be was confined till the evening ; that on the following day he insisted on proceeding against him under the Trespass Act, contrary to the opinion of his brother Magistrates; and that he arrested another workman, named Bolton, who was engaged in the work, but who was only taken to the house of the constable. Affidavits were now put in on the part of the defendant, alleging that Mr. Austin was much exceeding his rights in deepening the water- course; that Mr. Bevan's house was endangered by the proceedings; that a mob was collected ; and that he acted bona fide, and without malice or corruption. There were also affidavits from the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, from the Members for the County, and from several Magistrates, speaking highly of the general deportment and conduct of the defendant. The affidavits of Mr. Austin and others, negatived the allega- tion of riot, and represented the conduct of Mr. Bevan as without adequate cause. The Court observed, that it was manifest that a gentleman who had so little self- command as Mr. Bevan ought not to continue to act in the commission of the peace. They thought, under all the circumstances, the ends of justice would be best attained, both to the individual and the public, if the defendant would withdraw from his office as a Magistrate ; would make compensation to the labourers aggrieved; and would pay the expense of the prosecu- tion ; the parties undertaking that no action for false imprison- ment should be brought against him. Mr. Bevan, after some hesitation, acceded to these terms, and no judgment was prayed. The King v. Edgerly, Sherwood, and Jones — Mr. Chitty moved for a rule calling on Mr. Edgerley, as the printer, and Mr. Sher- wood and Mr. Jones, of Paternoster- row, as the publishers, of a pamphlet relating to the charge of murder against John Thurtell, to show cause why a criminal information should not be exhibited against them— This pamphlet not only asserted, in positive terms, that Thurtell was guilty of the murder of Mr. Weare, but also charged him with attempting to assassinate Mr. Barber Beaumont, and a person named Woods Rule granted. Nov. 19 The King v. Anthony Collins— This was an appeal against the accounts of the overseers of a parish in Suffolk. The case stated that the parishioners were charged with various sums paid to labourers who were able and willing to work, but who could not earn sufficient to support themselves and their families, and who were relieved 111 proportion to the smallness of their earn- ings and the number of their children. No work was provided for them by the parish officers, and sometimes no less a sum than 7s. or Qs. a week was allowed an individual family. Mr. Cooper, on behalf of the officers, argued, that the Magistrates wsrc not bound to relieve the able- bodied poor by finding work for them, but might afford relief at once in money. The wo. ds of the Act clearly empowered overseers to dispense relief without the sanc- tion of a Magistrate's order, and that a contrary interpretation would lead to the most disastrous conclusions— Mr. Andrews fol- lowed on the same side, and observed, that the question was really one of frightful interest; for if the Court should hold that the overseers were bound to set the poor to work before they relieved them, all who now were assisted by parochial charity must desert the employments in which they were engaged, to entitle them in future to receive it. Mr. Scarlett, on the other side, said that some persons obtained a hollow popularity by asserting the right of the poor, under all circumstances, to compulsory assistance from the rich; but he would at all times, and in all places, assert that there was nothing more prejudicial to their true interests than the attempt to separate labour ami profit, which were connected in nature. What could be more absurd in principle, more degrading in practice, than the system,- which was now so common, of paying to the labourer lower wager- than he was justly entitled to receive as t! le price of his industry, and giving him tile difference in the form of parish pay I It was said, a farmer could not afford to lay Out 40/. in la- bour ; then surely he could not better afford to give 40i in poor- rates; and it must be more for his benefit to pay men who tlid something, than men who did nothing. He should contend that, under the statute of Elizabeth, 110 overseer was empowered to af- ford an able- bodied man relief in ' money, but could only relieve him legally by providing' work. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to argue this point, but the Lord Chief Justice postponed the further hearing to Saturday, when Mr. Scarlett resumed his arguments; be took a view of the statutes which had passed subsequently to the Act of Elizabeth, and contended they all shewed the design of the legislature to be, that the only relief to be dispensed to the poor who are able to work should be by the provision of labour.— Mr. Eagle followed on the same side. Mr. Cooper, in reply, observed that the case did not state that the overseers had not attempted to obtain work for the paupers previously to affording them relief; and that if any doubts existed as to the fact, the case should be sent back to the Sessions. 11 could not be insisted that the overseers were bound to find produc- tive labour. After some further discussion it was agreed that the case should be sent back to be re- stated, so as to contain an account of the endea- vours, if any, made by the overseers to provide work for the poor. Mr. Justice Bayley expressed his hope that this discussion would rouse overseers to exert themselves in this important part of their duty, and meet at least once a month for the purpose, according to the wholesome provision of the statute of Elizabeth, which, he feared, was too much neglected. The Lord Chief Justice said, " I wish it to be most distinctly understood that this Court has given no opinion that able- bodied men, willing to work, but not able to procure it, are not entitled to relief. All the Court says is this— that it is the imperative duty of overseers and churchwardens to use. all their endeavours to pro- cure employment for the poor ; and this, principally, for the sake of the poor themselves, to whom it is of the highest importance that they should receive money for labour, and not for idleness." Mr. Justice Best: " I beg to add, out of the parish as well as in it." The Lord Chief Justice: " What attempts have they made in any place? It may be that they have done nothing, but, like too many others, have sat down in despair, instead of putting their shoulders to the wheel, and trying what might be effected," Mr. Justice Bayley : " There are many ways in which the poor may be profitably employed, as levelling hills and improvin; roads." INTENDED AUDACIOUS FRAUD. Few occurrences of late years have created such sensations, and caused so much inquiry and surprise at Plymouth, as the base and deliberate attempt to cast a stain on the character, and injure the property, of the late Capt. Adam Mackenzie, ofthe Itoyal Navy, whose death we recorded last week, the following particulars Of which we believe to be generally correct:— Within a short time after Capt. Mackenzie's decease, a woman, calling herself Mrs. Mackenzie, made application to the lion. Sir A. I. . Cochrane, and stated herself to be the lawful wife of Capt. Adam Mackenzie, to whom she had been married at the parish church of Maker, on the 27th of August, 1822; of which marriage she produced a. regular certificate, and also a correspondence, pur- porting to have paused between Captain Mackenzie and herself. This statement excited great surprise, as no one conceived that Capt Mackenzie would have so much demeaned himself by mar- rying one in so low a rank of life as this woman's manners and appearance seemed to indicate, and yet such evidence as she brought forward was not to be easily controverted; for we understand a highly- respectable solicitor of Plymouth, employed by the pre- tended Mrs. Mackenzie, had waited on the Rev. Mr. Ley, the clergyman of Maker, and ascertained that the certificate produced was an exact copy from the marriage register- book. Some naval officers, friends of* Capt. Mackenzie, had also visited Maker for the same purpose, and felt convinced, however mysterious it ap- peared, that such a marriage had been solemnized, although the signature to the book was at variance with Capt. Mackenzie's ha- bit of Writing his name, being there written " Adam M'Kenzie," and Captain M. always signing " A. Mackenzie." This circum- stance, coupled with Capt. Mackenzie's known upright character and regular habits, prompted further enquiries ; and we hear, that on tile Rev. Mr. Ley being asl; ed as to the age and appearance of the person calling himself Adam M'Kenzie, he replied that as tar as his recollection served, he appeared to him very much junior to the late Capt. Mackenzie, who was advanced in age. In order to get at the bottom of this complex affair, Sir A. I. Cochrane, on Wednesday last, earnestly requested the attendance of the Rev. Mr. Ley, in order that he might view the corpse, and ascertain, if possible, the identity of the person he had married. On exa- mination, Mr. Ley was fully convinced that there existed no simi- litude; and now the intended fraud was evident. As the woman lived in Saint Aubyn- street, the Rev. Mr. Ley, accompanied by Capt. Thos. White, R. N. of Stoke, adjourned to her house, where they found the shutters closed, and ull bearing the appearance of mourning for a near relative! We understand that on entering, the woman was not in the room; but on her coming in shortly af- terwards, she exhibited great trepidation, and to the questions put to her, answered in a very contradictory manner. At last, being reminded of the heinous nature of her conduct, and the severe pu- nishment consequent on detection, which was unavoidable, as the fraud had been discovered, she requested that all but Mr. Ley would leave the room; which request being complied with, she dis- covered many circumstances relative to the transaction, with which, of course, we are totally unacquainted; but, from what followed the next day ( Thursday), must have implicated the partner in her guilt. In the evening she absconded from her house, and has not been heard of since! In the morning of Thursday, in order to clear up this extraor- dinary affair, Capt. Dundas, accompanied by the two Executors under the will of Capt. Mackenzie, waited upon Commissioner Shield, in the Dock- yard, and in consequence of what passed be- tween them, two men of the name of Condy were directed to appear at the Commissioner's Office ; one of them attended immediately, and, being examined, was soon afterwards dismissed; but the other, being at work afloat, was ordered to come to the Office on his land- ing. The latter, named George Condy, a shipwright, when in- formed of his being summoned, seemed much agitated, and im- mediately went to a shed to change his working dress: lk- re he ascended by a ladder into the upper pat t, where it appears he took a large clasp- knife from his pocket, and drew it across his throat with such violence as to divide the wind- pipe, but not with suffi- cient force to cut the carotid artery : his groans shortly afterwards attracted the attention of some of his brother workmen underneath, who on going above found him fainting from the loss of blood. Being removed to the Surgeon's Office, his wound was examined, and lie was afterwards taken to the house of liis father in Dock- wall- street, and is still alive. Towards tile evening, the Rev. Mr. Ley went to the house of the unfortunate man, in order to ascertain if he were the same whom he had married by the name of Capt. M'Kenzie, and was fully satisfied ofthe identity : but further to be convinced, certain questions were proposed to him, and in his answers he fully con- fessed himself as the person who had been married to Rebecca Reynolds; under the assumed name of Adam MKenzie, &(.-. Had the examination of the corpse been delayed for a few weeks only, the projectors of this most abominable scheme would, most likely, have exulted in the success of their plans, as all means of identifying the person of Capt. Mackezie would have failed ; and thus Government, at least, would have been defrauded of the pension of a Post Captain's widow, which would have been most unworthily bestowed. In addition to the above, a letter from the Rev. Mr. Ley, dated Maker Vicarage, Nov. 21, says— " A report highly prejudicial to the character of Captain Adam Mackenzie, R. N. having been circulatcd, it has been considered imperative on his friends to enquire into the truth of it. For this purpose they have applied to me for information relative to a mar- riage, said to have been solemnized at Maker, between him and a Rebecca Reynolds, with whom the report originated. On seaccli- ing the Parish Register, such an entry appears; but I am able to assure Capt. Mackenzie's friends that he was not the person mar- ried; that liis name and rank were assumed by one who, since the discovery of the facts, has attempted to destroy himself. I need not not trouble you with the detail of circumstances by which this ini- quitous affair has boen brought to light. A well- contrived scheme of fraud had nearly succeeded, and would probably have been re- warded with an annuity of 907. My only object in addressing you, is to clear the character of Capt. Mackenzie, which I do by this declaration — that ihe pat ties have confessed to me the imposition.' 1 Oil Saturday last, the remains of Capt. Mackenzie, who died in the fi lth year of bis age, were interred at Stoke Church, Plymouth, with military honours. The procession moved from his late resi- dence in George- street, at half- past eleven o'clock, followed hy a long train of mourning coaches, private carriages, with the Exe- cutors of the deceased ( two Gentlemen from London,) a number of Naval Officers, and attended by a detachment of 300 Royal M a- rines, by whom a volley was fired over the grave. The remains of no Officer were ever more honoured, or the memory of any man more revered, than on tiiis solemn occa^ on. MARKET CHRONICLE. GLOUCESTER, Satin day, Nov. 29 Wheat, ( old) 7s- 0d. to 7s.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV UMBER 29. THIS forenoon we received the Moniteur of Thurs- day, with letters from our Correspondent, by express. A Telegraphic Dispatch from Bayonne announces that the Due d'Angoulme arrived in that city on the 23d inst. Our Cor- respondent very confidently denies, that there is any intention on the part of the French Government to assist Spain in reconquer- ing South America. Accounts from Madrid, via Bayonne, reached us this morning. It is stated, that proceedings have already been insti- tuted against 0009 Constitutionalists, who are in prison. The Spanish still indulge in the dream of reconquering South Ame- rica ; but the Spaniards of 1823 are not the men for such an en- terprise. " TheSpanish Ministry," say these accounts, " is aware of the appointment of English Consuls to South America ; but the public are taught to believe that the British Government lias sent their agents only to obtain correct information of the state of those Colonies, and not to recognize their independence: the Eng- lish, it is added, will take care how they adopt such a measure without the concurrence of the Holy Alliance, to which the Spa- nish Royalists think that Great Britain must yield. In short, people's minds are much engaged with these Colonies." Letters from Madrid received at Paris state, that the Foreign Ambassadors, together with the principal of the Spanish Hoyafist Nobles, had resolved most strongly to recommend to the King of Spain, the adoption of conciliatory measures. We have received this morning Jamaica Papers to the J2th ult. Their contents are of considerable importance, consi- dered in connexion with the alarm and agitation which have been produced, it seems, throughout the whole of our West India Colo- nies, by the discussions which took place last Session in Parliament, and the consequent apprehension tliit they were intended to lead to some final measures for the gradual emancipation of the negroe population. These Papers contain a mass of matter upon the sub- ject, which cannot but excite the anxious consideration of those in ' whose will it lies to calm or aggravate the fears thus inspired. Meetings have been called in almost every parish of the island of Jamaica, and the language employed in many of the requisitions, breathe a temper, which should make us pause before we proceed further. It may be prejudice which operates upon the minds of these people, but if such be the case, it will behove us to enlighten tiicm, and make than understand the good we intend, before we impart it— Courier. Naval preparations continue in our arsenals, and more • especially of our largest ships. The St. Vincent, of 120 guns, is fitting at Plymouth with extraordinary haste ; a great. many ship- wrights arc employed, and it is expected she will carry a flag. The gallant General Mina is arrived at Plymouth, ac- companied by several Spanish Constitutional Officers. Last night, at a quarter before eight o'clock, the King arrived at his Palace in Pall- mall, from Windsor. His Majesty s health, we rejoue to say, is quite confirmed, amid that, quiet and retirement which, for a time, is essential to its continuance. His Majesty enjoys the true English comfort, with old English feeling, • mA with that full relish of social festivity which the urbanity of liis own manners is so much calculated to promote. The Marquis of Buckingham and Chandos has been unanimously elected High Steward of Winchester, in the room of the late Jas. Henry Leigh, Esq. of Stonclcigh Abbey. The trial of Thurtell, Hunt, and Probert, will take place, it is generally expected, on Friday next, nt Hertford. ^ Mr. Gurney conducts the prosecution ; Mr. Andrews and Mr. Cliitty are Counsel for Thurtell. Mr. C. Phillips has been specially re- tained for the defence of Probert. We have not heard to whom Hunt's defence has been entrusted. Thurtell has nearly finished the leading points of a de- fence'which he intends to deliver when called upon during his trial. It is extremely long, and will, he says, occupy him two hours in the delivery. He is a man not deficient in declamatory energy. COLOMBIAN LOAN.— The following notice which was posted 011 the Foreign Stock Exchange, seems decisive as to the honourable character of the Colombian Government in ratifying the Loan - " The Contractors of this Loan have received, by the Jamaica Packet, a letter from their Agent at Bogota, dated 29th August, of which the following is an extract: ' In my last interview with Mr. Castello ( the Minister of Finance), he informed me of his in- tention to assure you of the desire of tlie Government to arrange every thing on the subject of Mr. Zea's Loan in a most satisfac- tory and amicable manner.'" LINCOLN COUNTY ELECTION— At the close of the poll on the second day, ( Thursday,) the gross numbers were— for Sir Wm. Ingilby 851, Sir John Thorold 517 ; majority for Sir Wil- liam 331. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 28. The Lord Chief Justice, on coming into Court, said, that it was proposed that when tho Judges should meet in January, accord- ing to the Royal warrant, they should take the special paper for three days, and then proceed to the new trials, placing the Nor- folk and Midland counties last in the order of new trials. It was hoped that this arrangement would give satisfaction. CORPORATION OF MONMOUTH— In the Matter of Yates claiming to be a Burgess of Monmouth— Mr. Scarlett showed cause against a rule of quo warranto in this case. The Court would take care on all occasions that such writs should not be issued or, light and frivolous grounds, for otherwise Corporations might be dis- solved by means of a long purse. The grounds in this case were first, that Mr. Yates had not been previously chosen by the Com- mon Council, who claimed a previous nomination. The election was in the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses. The second ground was, that due notice had not been given. The learned Gentleman gave a history of the Corporation from the reign of James I. when it had been part of the Duchy of Lancaster, and contended that there was no pretence of law or usage for a previous nomination by the Council. The Court of Rccord at winch the election took place was in July, 1820, when the Quarter Sessions were held, l'iie notice was by ringing of the bell, which was the usual notice for meetings of the Corporation. There were two hundred per- sons present, and not more than three or four burgesses were be- yond the hearing of the bell. This was sworn not to be the usual notice for the election of a burgess, but it was not sworn what was the usual notice. For a month before, the intention to elect was talked of and we'll known. There was no clandestinity about it, if he might use a new word to express what was well known in that Court. If their Lordships issued a quo warranto in this case, then any noble Lord who chose to spend 10,000/. in order to command the election of Members for a Borough, could do so by applying for one hundred quo warrantos. Mr. Common Sergeant followed on the same side. There were nine other applications for quo warrantos depending upon this ca6C. This case came on too late and was stated too loosely. The Court would see that Mr. Lucas should set himself right with respect to his acquiescence for three years in the election of three- score and one persons against, whom he applied for quo warrantos. The elec- tion took place in duly, 1820, and yet the parties did not come to that Court to complain of it til! Michaelmas Term, 1823 ; they might have moved in Michaelmas, 1820, yet nothing was done. Mr. Campbell followed on the same side. There were no - sum- monses, true— but they did not say that there ever had been sum- monses. There was no fraud, no surprise, no secrecy, no contri- vance ; there was no motive for surprise, for by far tfie larger por- tion of the burgesses was friendly to the party to whom the per- sons belonged, against whom the quo warranto was asked. Mr. Lucas was the disappointed candidate for the mayoralty when Mr. Heath was elected Mayor, and protested upon the ground that there had been no previous nomination, and not upon the ground of notice. Mr. Brougham followed on the same side. The Lord Chief Justice— It appears to be thought that a fourth argument must satisfy the Court. Mr. Brougham said he meant to trouble the Court but shortly. The Lord Chief Justice— It is evident that doubt must have been felt as to the right, when four Counsel arc employed to argue it. Mr. Brougham— It is upon that very point of a doubt, that, I propose lo address your Lordships. The conduct of the other side proved that they had no doubt, for in one year, 206 burgesses bad been elected precisely as those now questioned. The Sergeant at Mace, who was also common crier, swore distinctly, tiiat the elec- tions during the last three years were conducted with much more publicity than had been usual before that period. The Solicitor General rose on the other side, but the Court hav- ing deliberated for a short time, The Lord Chief Justice said, they were all clearly of opinion that the rule must be absolute. They were not to say now whe- ther tin' election was or was not valid ; it was sufficient that there should be any thing doubtful or questionable in the proceed- ings, and they Were of opinion, that both points were doubtful; therefore the rule for a quo warranto must be made absolute, Mr. Justice Bayley asked if one case would decide all ? The Solicitor General answered in the affirmative; but after- wards requested, that it might be allowed to be mentioned again in Chambers. The Lord Chief Justice— Certainly— it is matter for private ar- rangement at present.

Society of Friends, and the oldest house- keeper, if not the oldest inhabitant, of that town. He was once in a very extensive trade as a woolstapler and seedsman, from which ho retired about twenty years ago; with the respect and esteem of his contemporaries. He retained his bodily strength almost to tho last, and died without a struggle, but a very little removed from the spot where he was born.

Mrs. Burley, wife of Lieu- tenant and Paymaster George Hurley, of the Brecon Militia: she was an excellent woman, and out of the best of wives. The Rev. J. T. Casberd, LL. D. Prebendarv of Llan- daff and Wells, has been collated by the Bishop of Llandaff, to the living of Lanover, Monmouthshire; and he has obtained a dispensation to hold it, with the vicarage of Penmark, Glamorgan. The Rev. J. R. Casberd has been instituted to the Rectory of Porth- kerry, Glamorgan, 011 the resignation of the Rev. J. T. Casberd. Yesterday se'nnight, an excellent Sermon was preached in the Parish Church of Tetbury, by the Rev. T. A. Methuen, Rector of All Cannings and of Gursdon, Wilts, from 2 Cor. viii. 3 4, 5, after which 18/. 8*. 10d. Was collcctcd for the benefit of the Tetbury Dispensary. Preparations on a scale commensurate with the rank of the guest, and in accordance with the wonted hospitality of its no- ble owner, are now in progress at Croorae, the seat of Earl Coven- try, against the arrival of the Duke of Gloucester, who is expected there on Thursday next. His Royal Highness, we understand, will remain at Croome until the 13th, when lie will proceed to Se- vern Bank for a sojurn of a few days with Lord Deerhurst. The Duke usually devotes much of his time, upon these visits, to the diversion of shooting, and, upon this occasion, the preserves of his noble hosts are likely to afford him plenty of sport, as we are told that, both upon the Croome and Severn Rank demesnes, they have never been more abundant in game, winged and quadruped, than at the present season. The high auspices under which Mr. Watson's benefit is announced to take place at onr Theatre this evening, added to the recollection of the zeal and activity witii which he catered for the public during tile period of his management, and of the alac- rity With which he ever elevoted the services of his establishment to the cause of benevolence and charity, give sanguine grounds for anticipating a full house ; and we sincerely trust that the event may prove to him that his former exertions are not overlooked by the lovers of the drama. It is with regret we state, that the account inserted in our last, of the safety of the Richard, of Llanelly, Angove, master, has proved erroneous. A gentleman just returned from the Land's End, states, that he saw on Cape Cornwall and at Sennen Cove, pieces of the Retford, of Padstow, T. Parnell, and of the Richard, Angove, which could not possibly have come on shore unless these vessels had gone to pieces. The Retford, Richard, and Providence, Owens, sailed from Portreath on the fatal and ever- to- be- remem- bered 30th of October. Two of the vessels that sailed from Hayle on that disastrous day— the George and Ann, Jenkins, and the John Adams, King— are yet unaccounted for ; as are also the Ma- riner, Roberts, from Charlestown, and the Plover, Gordon, from Portreath— all for Swansea. A boat belonging to the Ann, of Gweck, Williams, master, was recently washed ashore at a place, called Newlyn, on the coast of Cornwall, and some spars she had 011 board, at Cove- rack ; these circumstance^ connected with her having been seen off St. Ives Head on the evening of the 30tli Oct. are fatal evidence of her having foundered at sea. The sloop Susanna, Davies, bound from Newport to Alderney, struck 011 the Rundlestone, on Saturday last, antl soon after sunk. Providentially a pilot boat was near at the time, and succeeded in saving the crew. The late G. Bulstrode, Esq. of Foregate- street, Wor- cester, bequeathed by his will 10U0Z. each to tile Worcester Infir- mary and to the British and Foreign Bible Society, payable upon the death of his sister, Mrs. Bulstrode, whose demise has just taken place. Great rejoicings have taken place at Ellesmere, Shrop- shire, upon the birth of an heir to the house of Halston. O11 the morning of the birth, the bells and discharges of cannon an- nounced the happy tidings, and a subscription was immediately set on foot to celebrate the event in the most joyous manner. Upon Mr. Mytton, accompanied by very numerous friends, returning to the town after hunting, 25 sheep, with a proportionate quan- tity of bread and a copious supply of ale, were distributed ( accord- ing to the number of children and other circumstances) amongst upwards of 300 poor families, who were thus enabled tn have a plentiful repast 011 the following day. From the beginning to the end of these festivities, not the slightest accident or ill- will occur- red. Oil Wednesday, a large party of the tradesmen and town . folks, dined together, and on Thursday there was a splendid Lall and supper, hi the adjoining villages, and at Oswestry and Shrewsbury, similar rejoicings have taken place in celebration of the happy event; A report of an Appeal, highly important to Parish officers, and to payers and receivers of Poor s Rates, is given in our preceding page. It will be seen what are the opinions of three Judges of the Land as to the practice of giving money, instead of labour, to applicants for parish relief. In the present case, the parishioners refuse to allow the Overseers the money they had al- lowed to able- bodied paupers, instead of giving them work; and the Judges appear ( 0 sanction the parishioners in their refusal • Mr. Justice Bayley, whose humanity no man will question, ob- served— In the parish where I live, an Overseer found a hun- CHELTENHAM, NOV. 29 List uf Arrivals to this date. 1 Hon, and Rev.

ITALIAN OPERAS AT BATH.— The first representation of these novel performances at Bath, took place 011 Tuesday even- ing last, and was attended by one of the most numerous and ele- gant. audiences, that ever assembled in that Theatre; nothing could exceed the beauty and fashion which graced the boxes and parterre. The scenery, dresses, and decorations were appropriate antl splendid; and the tout ensemble presented a complete minia- ture of the King's Theatre in London. The principal characters were performed by Madame. ROnzi De Begnis, a delightful singer and charming actress, and Signers De BegniS, BegreZ, and Placci, who sustained their parts in a manner worthy of their high me- tropolitan reputation. Miss George and Messrs. Phillips and Latham, astonished by their correct pronunciation, and the pro- ficiency of their singing. The chorusses were numerous anel com- plete ; and the instrumental department, under the able direction of Sir G. Smart and Mr. Loder, displayed the utmost excellence. The Opera was succeeded by the Ballet of Cinderella, which was delightfully performed by the juvenile pupils of M. Hullin. On the whole, more general satisfaction was never expressed by a de lighted audience. BOROUGH OF MONMOUTH It will be seen, by the Law Intelligence in our postscript, that the struggle between the Bur- gesses of Monmouth and the Patron of the Borough, is about to he renewed— The Burgesses, thinking they have nothing else to fear than the overwhelming purse of their opponent, have pub- lished a spirited Appeal to the Friends of Independence for pro- curing pecuniary assistance, from which the following is an extract: " On the election of Corporate Officers on the last Charter- day, the candidates in the Beaufort interest succeeded in obtaining a small majority of old Burgesses; but the return of the Magistrates in the independent interest was secured by polling a few of those created since the decision of the late contest; and though there can be no doubt of the legality of these, they having been made precisely in the form handed down by the earliest records of the Borough, they are to be marked out as victims for destruction, and so harassed by persecution and expence, that they may be in- duced to give up the contest in despair." Prosecutions have already commenced against every individual among the new Burgesses op- posed to the interests of the Duke of Beaufort, whether they Voted 011 the late occasion or otherwise; and, in consequence ot a mo- tion made by the Solicitor General in the Court of King's Bench, for rules to show cause why informations in the nature of a " quo warranto" should not be filed against them, sixty- one notices have been already served. The object of this vindictive proceed- ing is too apparent, from the declaration of the Solicitor General, that 110 Burgess shall appear in the Court to reply, who had not pre. viously taken out an office copy of the proceedings ; thus refusing to consolidate the question, in order that the expences may be car- ried to an extravagant and ruinous extent " The ruinous expence of the former contest is still felt, by many; but it is not the loss of the thousands drawn out of their pockets that they experience, so much as the systematic efforts to deprive them of the means of continuing the contest by persecution in their business; it is well known that not even the lowest mechanic dare express a wish for their success, but he is discarded at a moment's notice; nor the highest tradesman lend them his assistance with- out experiencing the revenge of these satellites of corruption. The Burgesses of Monmouth have already sacrificed their private in- terests for the public good, and devoted their services for the pur- pose of protecting the rights and liberties of tlie people; and surely those men who so boldly came forward to support a foreign nation, struggling in the same cause, will not withhold that support from their own countrymen— they will not look calmly 011, uhile a set of " Holy Alliance despots," are uniting to subdue them." ORTHOGRAPHY— Tho risible faculties of the inhabitants of the borough of Tewkesbury have been called into full exercise during the past week, by an advertisement, of which the following is a literal copy, having been publicly exhibited in the shop- win- dow of a baker who had just commenced business in the centre of the town :— " Bakin Dishes Dun Hear Every Day fordiner an Sundy an pastre dun with the shortist Notis carfuly tenshun paydtoit & &" COMMITMENTS TO OUR CITY GAOl On Friday, Rd.

Our Fair on Friday last, notwithstanding the unfa- vourableness of the weather; was very well attended. Fat beasts were scarce, but the few which were brought went off readily at improved prices. There was a very large shew of store cattle, with but little demand. Beef averaged id. to 5d. ^ lb. Sheep were not remarkably numerous and sold from M. to 5. W. lb— There was nothing worth notice in the horse fair, but superior animals for the field were in great request. In our fourth page we have inserted tin account of the execution of fourunfortiinate criminals, who expiated their offences against the laws of their country by an ignominious end, upon the scaffold at the Old Bailey, on Wednesday last. The young man there described as John Smith, but whose real name is Rd. Ellis, was once an inmate of our City Prison, and was tried at the Lent Assizes, in April 1821, for stealing several silver spoons and other articles of plate from Mr. Tyers, of the Ram Inn, in this city. Of this Crime lie was convicted, and received sentence of death, but his punishment was subsequently commuted for one year's im- prisonment. It was hoped, that the deplorable situation in which lie then appeared, had had its proper effect upon bis mind, and would deter him from the pursuit of his evil practices; but the period of his discharge was marked by bis immediate return to liis wonted companions; and his subsequent career of infamy, with its fatal issue, have only served to shew how utterly unworthy he was of the mercy which was then extended to him, and of the su- peradded favours which he received during his imprisonment here. It Will be in the recollection of our readers, that the case of Samuel Voke, who was capitally convicted at tlie last As- sizes for the county oi' Somerset, for maliciously shooting at Lord Glastonbury's gamekeeper, was reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges— They have met accordingly, and are unanimously of opinion that the conviction is right— the unhappy culprit was made acquainted with their decision, by the keeper of the prison, and the execution of this unfortunate young man took place on Wednesday. HORTICULTURE A single potatoe, of a new variety of t'ne American Red, planted in the nursery of Mr. Thos. Hegnill, of Tewkesbury, in April last, produced roots of the extraordinary weight of ninety- six pounds. CAUTION We understand a most notorious informer, who has reaped a golden harvest in Liverpool, by laying informa- tions against persons for giving unstamped receipts, has just ar- rived in Birmingham.

Cook's- Court, Carey- Street, London, Nov. 1823. Memoir of Lord Erskine. In presenting a brief sketch of Lord Erskine's life, we shall con- fine ourselves to his professional career, to which indeed he is in- debted for all his well- earned fame. Mr. Thomas Erskine went to sea with the late Sir John Lind- say, nephew of the great Earl of Mansfield. He never, it is be- lieved, had the commission of Lieutenant, but acted for some time in that capacity by the appointment of his Captain. His reason tenant in consequence ot tiie friendship unwilling, after having been honoured with such a distinction, to return to sea in the inferior capacity of Midshipman. On quitting the naval service he entered into the army as an En- sign in the ltoyals, or First Regiment of Foot. This was in the year 1788, and happened not so much from inclination, it is said, as because his father, with a small and strictly entailed estate, had not the weans of assisting him, with convenience, to pursue one of the learned Professions. He went with his regiment to Mi- norca, in which island he spent three years, and continued in the service about six. . During the period Mr. Erskine served in thc Army, he acquired Considerable reputation for the acuteness and versatility of his ta- lents in conversation. Mr. Boswell, who met him about this time in a mixed company in London, mentions, in his Memoirs of Dr. Johnson, the delight which the Doctor had himself felt from the ability of a gentleman, who was no other than the subject of this memoir, while discoursing on some temporary topic which, at that time, happened to be an interesting question of dispute in the cir- cles of the metropolis. Whether the consciousness of these powers, or the suggestions of his friends, or the embarrassments of a scanty income, first in- vited him. to make preparations for the study of the law, it is of no importance to inquire. It has, however, been said, that Mr. Er- skine had no merit whatever in embarking in so new and arduous a pursuit; but that it was literally and most unwillingly forced upon him by the importunities of his mother, the Countess of Bu- chan, after the death of his father : and that the hopes of succeed- ing in it were fortified and kept alive, against his own preposses- sions, by her counsel and persuasions. Mr. Erskine was about twenty- six when he commenced his course of legal study. He entered as a Fellow- Commoner of Tri- nity College, Cambridge, in the year 1777 ; and, at the same time, inserted his name as a student on the books cf Lincoln's Inn. One of his College declamations is still extant, as it was delivered in Trinity College Chapel. The thesis was the Revolution of 1688. It gained the first prize, which he refused to accept, not attending Cambridge as a student, and only declaiming in conformity to the rules of the College. An Ode written by Mr. Erskine about this time, in imitation of Gray's Bard, is worthy of notice as a sportive production of his fancy ; it was published in the Monthly Magazine. It originated in an occasion, truly humourous. The author had been disap- pointed by his barber, who neglccted his usu;. l attendance upon him, and prevented him from dining ill the College- hall. In the moment of disappointment, hunger, and impatience, he is sup- posed to have poured forth a malediction against tlie whole race of hair- dressers, with a denunciation, prophetic of a future taste for cropping and unpowdered hair. Mr. Erskine did not enter the University for any academical purpose, but merely to obtain a degree to which he was entitled as the son of a Nobleman, and by which he saved two years in his passage to the Bar. His education had been previously completed in Scotland. His father, one of the most accomplished men of his time, had uniformly felt an extraordinary solicitude as to the edu- cation of his children, and actually removed from bis family es- tate in Scotland for the purpose of residing at St. Andrew's, where he continued for many years. During tliis time he procured for them a private tutor, one of the most elegant scholars of that part of the Island, to assist their studies at the school and University. Mr. Erskine always pursued the study of the Belles Lettres with unremitting ardour, and had the advantage of imbibing from the most eminent persons of the day that various and extended know- ledge which can never be derived from books or solitary applica- tion. In order to acquire a necessary idea of the mechanical parts of liis future profession, he was persuaded, by the judicious coun- sels of his friends, to enter as a pupil into the Office 01 Judge Bul- ler, then an eminent special pleader at the Bar. During this period of his life, Mr. Erskine experienced all the difficulties arising out of a very limited income, lie had heen al- ready married about four years, and was obliged to adhere to a most rigid frugality of expenditure. The part sustained by the late Mrs. Erskine, before the cloud that overhung their first en- trance into life was dissipated, is highly honourable to her feel- ings ; she accompanied her husband to Minorca, followed his for- tunes with the most cheerful constancy, and while he was engaged in the pursuits of a most laborious profession, never suffered any pleasure or amusement to interrupt her in the assiduous discharge of her domestic duties. While he remained in the office of Mr. Buller, he pursued the business of the desk with unremitting activity and ardour; and, on that gentleman's promotion, he went , into the office of Mr. Wood, where he continued a year after he had been in consider- able business at the liar. In what manner our advocate cultivated popular declamation, does not clearly appear. It has been said, that he was an assidu- ous attendant at Coachmakers' Hall, where a debating club of Some estimation was at that time held. But the style of Mr. Er- skine's oratory bears internal testimony against this assertion. Mr. Erskine had now completed the probationary period allot- to the tardy advancement of professional merit aT the English bar. It is not worth inquiring hew long he continued a mute auditor ill the back benches of tile Court, among thc crowd of young men, who may be, not unaptly, compared to the ghosts that lin- ger on the banks of the '. Styx for a passage over the lake; but, by a singular partiality of fortune, he was not tortured by the ' hope deferred,' and the sickening expectation of a brief, which so many men of promising talents are doomed to undergo: an opportunity was almost immediately afforded him of distinguish- ing himself in Westminster Hall. Can't. Baillie, who had been removed from the superintendence of Greenwich Hospital by the 2ate Earl of Sandwich, then First Lord of the Admiralty, and one of the Governors of the Hospital, was charged with having pub- lished a libel on that Nobleman, and the Attorney General was instructed to move for leave to file a criminal information against h. im; this was the occasion of Mr. Erskine's first speech in Court. In opposing the motion of Mr. Attorney General, an op- portunity presented itself of entering into the merits of the case in . behalf of Captain Baillie. He accordingly expatiated upon the services which had been rendered by his client, - and on the firm- ness with which he resisted the intrigue and artifice to which he attributed the prosecution set on foot against ' him. In the course of this speech, he also attacked the Noble Earl in a tone of sarcastic and indignant invective. Lord Mansfield in- terrupted him more than once: but the Advocate did not abate of the severity of his animadversions. It was at that time no com- mon spectacle to observe a man, so little known to the Court and the Bar, commenting with asperity of remark on the conduct of a powerful Statesman, who held an elevated post in the Adminis- tration, and distinguishing himself by a- species of confidence not usually felt in early efforts of public speaking, under circumstances . that rendered it prudent to abstain from personal severity, and conciliate thc Bench he was addressing. This was the first trial of his talents at the Bar, having been called only in Trinity Term, and having been employed for Capt. Baillie in tho Michaelmas Term following. He is said to have been indebted for this opportunity to no interference, recommen- dation, or connection. His acquaintance with Capt. Baillie ori- ginated in his having accidentally met him at the table of a com- mon friend. Almost immediately after, Mr. Erskine appeared at the Bar of the House of Commons as Counsel for Mr. Carnan, the bookseller, against a Bill introduced by Lord North, then Prime Minister, to re- vest in the Universities the monopoly in Almanacks, which Mr. Carnan had succeeded in abolishing by legal judgments, and he had the good fortune to place the Noble Lord in a considerable minority upon a division. To the reputation which these speeches conferred upon him, it has been said that he attributed the subsequent success he expe- rienced ill his profession ; and that, as he left the Court upon one of these occasions, nearly thirty briefs were offered to him by the attornies who happened to be present. He was now surrounded by clients, and occupied by business. Of the various cases in which he was employed it would be absurd to expect any men- tion, as they consisted only of the ordinary and daily transactions of the Terms and the Sittings, The public feelings were now altogether occupied by the inte- resting trial of Admiral Keppel. Mr. Erskine was retained as Counsel for the Admiral— a circumstance owing to the ignorance the Counsel ( Mr. Dunning and Mr. Lee, who were originally engaged) displayed relative to the sea phrases, without some know- ledge of which the case was in a great measure unintelligible. The former, afterwards created Lord Ashburton, recommended Mr. Erskine as completely qualified for the task, in consequence of having been made acquainted with the manner in which he had passed the former part of his life. Having drawn up his defence, he personally examined all the Admirals and Captains of the Fleet, and satisfied himself that he could substantiate the innocence of his client, before the speech which he had written for him was read. For his exertions oil this memorable occasion, Mr. Erskine received a thousand guineas. He was now in possession of the best second business in the King's Bench. By the phrase second business is meant that sort of business in which the lead is not given to the Counsel who arc not yet arrived at the dignity of a silk gown, and of a seat within the bar of the Court; but an event took place which called his ta- lents into activity on a most memorable occasion; we allude to thc riots which disgraced the City of London in the year 1780. Every one knows the universal consternation which at that time agitated the kingdom; when tile security of the nation was threatened in the destruction of the capital. After the suppression of these tu- mults, the vigilance of tiie Magistrates was exercised in directing tbe insulted justice of the country against the actors in that dread- ful conflagration. The part attributed to Lord George Gordon in these outrages is well known. Mr. Erskine was retained Counsel for his Lordship, in conjunc- tion with Mr. Kenyon, afterwards Chief Justice of the King's Bench. The duty which more immediately devolved 011 the for- mer was that of replying to the evidence; a duty which lie sus- tained with infinite judgement and spirit. His speech 0n this trial abounds with many of the most finished graces of rhetoric. It is rapid and impetuous; and altogether in that style and character which are most impressive in judicial assemblies. The exordium is after the artificial method of thc ancients, who never begin an oration without an appeal to the tribunal they are addressing, upon the embarrassments and peril of the function they have undertaken. " I stand," said Mr. Erskine, " much more in need of compassion than the noble prisoner. He rests secure in conscious innocence, and in the assurance that his innocence will suffer no danger in your hands. But. I appear before you a young and inexperienced Advocate little conversant with Courts of Criminal Justice, and sinking under the dreadful consciousness of that inexperience." There is no department of his profession in which our Advocate has reached higher excellence than in his observation 011 evidence. The defence of Lord George Gordon required the exercise of these powers to their amplest extent; as the case on fee part ot the Crown was supported bv a variety of witnesses. Having delivered to the Jury the doctrine of high treason, as it, had been established' by the celebrated Act of Edward the Third, and as it was expounded by means of the best authorities, he made a most dexterous ap- plication of those rules to the evidence which had been ad- duced. They who study this speech will observe, with emotions of admiration, thc subtleties with which he abates the force of the testimony he is encountering, and the artful eloquence with which he exposes its defects, and its contradictions. " I say, hy God, that man is a ruffian, who on such evidence as this, seeks to establish a conclusion of guilt 1" was his exclamation, as he was finishing this topic of his defence. An impassioned mode of ad- dress, which, although it may find some apology in the perpetual example of Cicero, is not altogether suited to the soberness of En- glish eloquence. Of this speech, tbe concluding sentence is truly pathetic. We scarcely hesitate to pronounce it to be the best ef- fort of Mr. Erskine's talents ; it does not, indeed, display the minute beauties of cultivated diction, nor those grave remarks of moral wisdom with which his latter speeches, 111 imitatton of Mr. Burke, are pregnant; but, considered in reference to the occasion on which it was delivered, it is a most astonishing effort of vigor- ous and polished intellect. In the month of May, 1783, Mr. Erskine received the of a silk gown ; His Majesty's Letters of Precedency being con- ferred upon him, as has been said, on the suggestion of the vene- rable Lord Mansfield. His professional labours were now consi- derably augmented, and he succeeded to that place winch had been so long occupied by Mr. Dunning, afterwards Lord Ashburton. It would be impossible, within the space allotted to this article, to give an account of the causes pleaded by Mr. Erskine; his ex- ertions being, for the most part, absorbed in the transactions of daily occurrences which are discussed in our Courts of Justice. From the infinite variety of these causes, it is not extraordinary that he should have acquired too artificial and common- place a method of putting his topics ; but it is no just cause of reproach that Mr. Erskine should, in a great measure, have expended his store of expression and of thinking on these subjects : this is not poverty, but exhausted wealth— the indigence arising from too lavish a prodigality of liis mental opulence. He who looks for a perfect model of the style of Lord Erskine, must examine his speech on the trial of Stockdale. When the charges against Mr. Hastings were published by the House of Commons, a Mr. Logie, a Clergyman of thc Church of Scotland, and a friend of the Go- vernor- General, wrote a tract, in which those charges were inves- tigated with some e. crimony, but with considerable warmth and vigour; so that the pamphlet beisg considered as libellous by a reso- lution of the House, a criminal information was filed by the At- torney- General against Mr, Stockdale, the publisher. In the course of his defence, Mr. Erskine urged many collateral topics in favour of Mr. Hastings, in a style of fervid and orna- mented eloquence. Mr. Erskine was elected one of the Members for Portsmouth in the year 1783 ; an honour which he probably derived from the re- putation he had acquired at the Court Martial which sat there on the trial of Admiral Keppel. His political character may be ex- tracted from his speeches in Courts of Justice, as well as from his uniform conduct in Parliament; but from no transaction in his life did he derive a more permanent reputation than in his noble struggles in defence of the Trial by Jury. In his celebrated, ar- gument in support of a Rule for a new trial in the Dean of St. Asaph's case, he made an admirable effort to concentrate all the doctrines, and to combine all the reasonings which lay scattered throughout so many volumes of legal learning. Upon the prin- ciples laid down in this speech Mr. Fox framed his Bill. The independence exhibited by our Advocate on every occasion, threw upon him the defence of a multitude of persons prosecuted for sedition or libel by Government. His defence of Paine, how- ever, occasioned his sudden dismission from the office he held as Attorney General to the Prince of Wales; but he was subsequently appointed to the dignity of Chancellor to liis Royal Highness, an office which had lain dormant for many years. One of the most brilliant events in all Mr. Erskine's professional life was the part cast upon him, in conjunction with Mr. ( afterwards Sir V.) Gibbs, in the State Trials, in the year 1794. The accused persons looked up to Mr. Erskine as their instrument of safety. He undertook their several defences with an enthusiasm which rendered him insensible to the fatigues of a long and continued exertion; nothing was omitted that could elucidate their innocence; nothing overlooked that could tend to weaken the force of the case stated against them by the Crown Lawyers. One of Mr. Erskine's latest speeches as a Counsel was on the prosecution of the publisher of Paine's Age of Reason. Subsequently to this period, a great change in the Political he misphere converted the eloquent Advocate into a Judge, and a Peer of the Realm. Soon after the death of Mr. Pitt, the subject of this memoir was sworn a Member of the Privy Council, created a Baron ( Feb. 7,1806,) by the title of Lord Erskine, of Restormail Castle in Cornwall, and entrusted with the Great Seal as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. That he did not long hold llis high judicial office is sufficiently known to the public, nor is it regretted by the profession that his Chancellorship was of short duration. His pursuits and habits had but ill qualified him for his new station, and his decisions are never appealed to as authority. Lord Erskine has since occasionally taken part in public discus- sions, and written some pamphlets, but without adding any thing to his former reputation. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.— Yesterday morning a meeting took place near Clapham, betwixt Edward Mitford, Esq. and Lloyd, Esq. the former gentleman attended by Captain Osborne, late of the 00th regiment, the latter by a Mr. Jeffries. On the first fire m TOas very slightly wounded in the thigh, and his second being about to interfere in preventing furthor hostilities, Mr. M. assured him that he was not at all hurt, and begged for a second pistol; Captain Osborne still pressed for an accommoda- tion, when Mr. Jeffries remarked that they had come to fight, and not to talk. Captain Osborne replied, that they came with a simi- lar intention, but that he felt it his duty not to endanger the valu- able life of his friend, when his honour was no longer at stake. The principals, who had not left the ground during this conver- sation' called to their seconds for pistols, and at the second dis- charge, Mr. Lloyd received his antagonist's ball in the right shoul- der, and the affair terminated, so far as the principals are con- cerned ; but from the angry conversation which passed, on the ground, and further words that took place when Mr. L. was wounded, it is conjectured that a second meeting in all probability must take place between the seconds. HORSE.- DEALING.— A butcher, residing in a village in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis, had an amazingly fast trotting galloway, which Mr. M , a gentleman of fortune in the neighbourhood, who prided himself on possessing a superior stud, and finding himself often outdone by the butcher's boy, was most anxious to purchase. The bargain was eventually struck, the purchase money paid, and the horse warranted sound, wind and limb. The head groom had him under his immediate care, he was trimmed, trained, anil got up in the highest. style for ac- tion— gay in all his points. No sooner, however, was the saddle put on for his new master, than it was found he would not budge an inch— unless in a retrograde position ; neither whip nor spur had any effect; and on representing the circumstance to the butcher, he said he was aware the horse would not go— without the tray.— « Not go without the tray ?" exclaimed the purchaser with astonishment; " how am I to manage?"—" That's not my business," replied the butcher; " he is a sound horse, and as such I warranted liim ; but I knew he would never trot unless he had the tray on his back ; indeed that's the only good trait in his cha- racter." " Deuce take the tray ( trois)' said Mr. M——. " No, Sir, no ; I don't know at what game that occurs ; for even at PUT the trois is the best card in tbe pack." " Well, that's very well," replied Mr. M ; " but since you have tra dnced the horse you may have him back at two- thirds my purchase." " Be it so," saitl the butcher, laughing ill liis sleeve. The proposal was acced- ed to; and the butcher's horse now " trots along the road," as gaily as ever, with the tray 011 his back, thc butcher chuckling over the joke, and adding that the tray ( trois) had, as usual, won the trick. HATTON GARDEN.— Examination of Mrs. Stanton.— Saturday Mr. Stanton, being so far convalescent as to be able to attend and give his evidence at this Office, life wife, Margaret Stan- ton was brought up for re- examination, under a charge of having Shockingly mutilated her husband. She appeared to be in good health, was habited very genteelly in a pelisse, and wore 11 veil. Apparently she is not more than 24 years old, and has, during her confinement, expressed the greatest contrition for the irreparable injury which, in a fit of jealousy, she inflicted on her husband— Mr. Stanton is a young man, perhaps 26, rather below the middle stature, very pale in the face, probably the result of the calamity which he has so recently suffered from. The examination was before Mr. Laing, and was conducted in the private room up stairs. No Reporters were admitted, by the express order of that Magistrate. It commenced about two o'- clock, and lasted till past five, during which period the only wit- nesses examined were Stanton himself and Mr. Whitmore, the surgeon, who was called up on the fatal occasion, and to whom the prisoner then confessed her guilt, and stated, that no sooner was the deed committed, than the jealousy which prompted it gave way to remorse. Other witnesses were in attendance, who were given to understand that the woman was remanded, and that they must attend again next Tuesday. We understand that Stanton admitted in his evidence, that on the evening preceding the event, he told lier that in consequence of something which she said, and which he could never forgive, he was determined to leave her the next morning; and that it was his intention to go and reside with another woman, to whom he was attached ; and that he meant to dispose of all her goods, and in future would allow her so much per week to live on. When Mr. Whitmore, the surgeon, produced tbe fatal razor, which he had received from the hand of the fair delinquent herself at the time, Stanton nearly fainted, when his wife involuntarily and in- stantly sprang across the room to his assistance, but this was not permitted; others in the room gave their aid, and she was replaced in her chair. The husband of the prisoner was a journeyman brass worker. His wife's friends were very respectable, and from them consider- able assistance was continually being rendered. For some time past he had been in the habit of leaving her every Sunday morn- ing early, mostly after breakfast, and seldom returned to his home again till the latter part of the week. On these occasions she would follow him to the door, let him out, and has been frequently heard, immediately after closing the door, to burst into a fit of hysterical crying. This attracted the attention of her landlord and land- lady, who observing also that while in their company, she was frequently very absent, and almost always desponding, began to fear that she might at some time attempt self- destruction, and their belief even now is, that the razor was secreted for that purpose. She loved her husband most fervently, and has frequently been heard to say, that if he would but return her affection, she would be content to live on bread and water. In the company of others, she was fond of expressing her admiration of him. She was a highly- educated young woman, having not only been at a boarding- school during the entire period of her youth, but she also had, subsequently, the advantages of masters in different branches of female education. It was intended, we believe, to qualify her for Governess to a private family. MURDER OF MR. WEARE. On Friday evening, Mr. Harmer, the solicitor, arrived at Hert- ford, for the purpose of having an interview with Jos. Hunt, pre- paratory to undertaking his defence, should he be placed 011 his trial. Mr. Harmer, we Understand, went down at the solicitation of Hunt's mother. On Saturday morning, Hunt was brought down to the governor's office, and left with Mr. Harmer for nearly three hours, during which time Mr. Harmer of course informed him correctly of tho situation in which he stood. At the end of this interview, Hunt was again conducted to his cell, and appear- ed a good deal depressed. He was dressed in a shabby suit of black, with a lamb's wool shawl round his neck, and was doubly ironed. In pursuance of the direction of the Magistrates, his whiskers are now permitted to grow, so that his appearance may be as much as, possible conformable with his ordinary habits. A Gentleman of the Bar was introduced by the High Sheriff to see the prisoners, Probert was then in communication with his solicitor, Mr. Williams, and of course lie was not disturbed; but Hunt and Thurtell were disengaged. On the latter being asked if he had any complaint to make, he said, that the gaoler had treated him with great kindness, and he had no complaint to make of him. He was asked, if lie. was satisfied now with the arrange- ments for his defence. He observed, that he was in all but one respect, that of not having been allowed to see Mr. Pearson ; lie said that that gentleman's advice he had very much desired, and the want of it nad put him to great expence and trouble. He was asked if he had recently heard from his friends; he stated that he bad, and lately had a communication from his own family. On withdrawing, he expressed his acknowledgments to the Sheriff for the manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office in regard to him. Mr. Noel has published a long statement, partly in vindication of himself, and partly as a matter of complaint, that he is not continued as Solicitor for the prosecution. We extract the follow- ing particulars relating to Hunt's confession :— " It is now incumbent on me to state the reasons for the offer of mercy held out to Hunt, and the hour at which it was done. It must be in the recollection of the public, that this horrid, preme- ditated, murder took place on Friday evening, the 24th of October, and that, notwithstanding the most diligent ( searches for the body, no discovery had been made of it as late as four o'clock, past mid- night, of Thursday morning, the 30th, the sixth day after the murder. Our informations and investigations had at that hour terminated, with no clue whatever to the real person murdered, antl Hunt was about to retire, when I thus addressed him :— 1 Mr. Hunt, a most foul and crucl murder has been committed. The Magistrates and myself, from the depositions taken before us, are at this moment of opinion, that altho' you RTP implicated in the murder, your hand . dkl not commit the act. With snch afeeling, it will be for you to judge how far it will be advisable for you to make a voluntary, full, and candid confession of all you know of the murder, with the promise that such confession, and the cir- cumsts. nccs attending it, shall be submitted to the proper autho- rities, that you may derive every benefit that the laws of your country hold cut to an approver in a case of murder— such an ap- prover, altho' an accessary, not being actually present, and assist- ing in the commission of the deed.' Hunt was here about to in- terrupt me, when I stopped him, and thus proceeded:— " 4 Do not reply to me without giving the matter due conside- ration; retire, and that by yourself; the Magistrates and I will sit here for hal^ an hour longer, if you require it, and wait yonr decision.' Hunt retired without uttering a syllable. 1 then ad- dressed the Magistrates:—' Gentlemen, if you do not approve of the offer of meTcy now held out to Hunt, say so, and I will go to him. Recollect, without the body is found, notwithstanding the strong evidence against one of the parties, we shall do nothing ;" and Mr. Clutterback and Mr. Mason both gave unqualified ap, probation to my mode cf examination, and of the offer of mercy held out to Hunt. In about ten minutes after, Ruthven entered, and said, that Hunt wished to see me. I declined doing so, un- less accompanied in the room by a third person. Ruthven, the officer, went in with me to Hunt, when the first assertion of Hunt's was, " Sir, your suspicions are true; the person murdered is Mr. Weare, and I am ready to Confess all I know; the only favour I have to ask is, that during my confession I may not be in any way interrupted by question or otherwise.' " Without making any reply to Hunt, I returned to the Ma- gistrates, reported the wards of Hunt to them, and Hunt was then brought before us by Ruthven. " Hunt requested permission to be seated, called for a glass of water, and, horrid to relate, he gave his confession of the transac- tion as if he was relating circumstances of the, most trivial nature, avoiding, upon all occasions, implicating himself, and when he suspected lie was doing so, he stopped, sipped the water, or took a pinch of snuff, and requested the Magistrates' Clerk to read over the last two lines. When Hunt had completed his confession, as far as reported in the public prints, ending, ' now, gentlemen, I believe you have it as clear as if you had been present yourselves,' he retired, without having signed such confession, as it was thought proper to obtain the body first. In about ten minutes Hunt again sent for me, and stated that he had omitted in his confession sun- dry facts which he wished to add, on his return from pointing out where the body was secreted. These facts were his having pur- chased ill Hind- street, Bloomsbury, the sack and the cord which were placed by him in John Thurtell's chaise, before he and Weare left London. I observed to Hunt, ' I suppose the sack was purchased for the purpose for which it was used ?' He coolly replied, without change of countenance, ' Of course, to put the game in.' He then went on to state, that after the murder and " the removal of the body from the lane into Probert's pond, John Thurtell, after supper, produced Mr. Weare's watch and chain, a purse containing four sovereigns, and a note case, from which he ( John Thurtell) took three five pound notes, and gave a five pound note and a sovereign to him ( Hunt), and a five pound note and a sovereign to Probert, reserving the same sum for himself; saying to them, ' that is your share of the money found;' and then threw tlie purse, note- ease, and a betting book into the fire. As this was a most material fact, I did not allow a moment to pass, but got Hunt to reduce to writing thc circumstance of the division of the money, which lie did, and this document was placed by me before Hunt at tile Inquest, when he was prevaricating about the division of the money, and stating that he received his six pounds for 1 professional services as a singer.'" Every day some curious incident, although involved in an air of mystery, from the mariner in which the statements are insinu- ated, is hinted respecting the approaching trial. It is an undoubted fact, . altho' the near approach of tbe trial renders premature dis- closure improper, that statements have been made which will on tlie trial remove all doubt respecting the particulars of the murder of Mr. Weare, antl the identity of the perpetrators of that crime. A new feature in the evidence was discovered in an examination of a witness last Sunday at Watford, before Mr. Clutterbuck and Mr. Mason. It will be recollected that at the supposed hour of the murder, near eight o'clock in the evening, a Mr. Smith, who was in an adjoining road to Gill's- hill cottage, proceeding at that hour to meet his wife, heard the report of a gun or pistol, and at the same moment some indistinct groans ; and also that llis wife, and nurse who was attending her, and who were approaching from the contrary direction, and much nearer the supposed spot of the murder, confirmed her husband's evidence, but with a better op- portunity of hearing the groans, which for two or three minutes followed the sound of the gun or pistol. On Sunday, we are ill- formed, that on a closer examination of the nurse, ( she was in a policy or donkey chaise at the time with Mrs. Smith) she declares shin, the integument was turned aside, and an instrument which was at that, time contained in the surgeon's case, called a l'ougee, was employed to scrape the shin- bone. When the doctor was tired of rasping, the father took a spell, and the patient, in his turn, re- lieved his father. At last the shell of the bone became so thin, that the doctor said they must proceed no farther with that leg. The other leg was then rasped in a similar manner, and thus large wounds were produced in both of thc shin- bones. The surfaces granulated very kindly, and very little exfoliation of the bones took place; but unluckily the granulations wotipl form a bone, so that up jumped the bones of the shin again. ( Much laughter.) The doctor, however, was resolved not to be defeated, and accor- dingly put a layer of arsenic over the whole surface ! It was in consequence of the effects of this application, that I saw the pa- tient. The arsenic was absorbed into the system, and he became paralytic in his arms and lower extremities. A great number of exfoliations took place in his legs; and he showed me a large box, in which the exfoliated portions of bones were contained. I re- commended him to go into the country, and lie went to Bath, where he stayed for some time and got rid of his paralysis. This case made a good deal of noise ill town ; and there were some surgeons who expressed a strong wish to prosecute the doctor. I recommended them however not to take any steps until I had seen the patient himself; and when he next came to me, 1 asked him whether he thought his legs improved, and whether he would again undergo the same operation, at a similar hazard of liis life, to have liis legs made a little straight'er ? He replied that he would ( a laugh ); and under these circumstances I was of opinion, that as the young man was content, it was folly to think of prosecuting the doctor. The patient, in this cause, appeared to be as great a fool as the doctor whom he consulted, and deserved to be punished for his folly. I have no wish to injure individuals, and I shall not, therefore, mention the name of the operator. Some time has elapsed since the case occurred, and the transaction is now almost buried in oblivion. One of the parties is since dead ; not the per- son, however, who underwent the operation, for lie still lives, and is proud of his improved legs." TALIACOTIAN OPERATION FOR A NEW NOSE.— On the 7th inst. a mall came into thc theatre at St. Thomas's Hospital, to undergo ail operation, which, tho' not entirely new iti the annals of surgery, had never been performed ( we believe) at the Borough. / The operation was that for an artificial nose; and the person on whom it was performed was about 34 years of age, stout, of short stature, with a broad face, and the nose completely destroyed. The man was placed 011 the table, flat 011 his back, with the head a lit- tle depressed ; the first step of the operation was to remove the diseased parts, and pare the edges from the old nose ; after this, a portion of integument, previously marked with ink on the left side of the forehead, of an irregular shape, was detached from the sur- rounding skin, with the exception of a small piece between the eyebrows. The integument was then brought down over the face, in the situation of his former nose, the point by which it was joined to the forehead being twisted, in order that the part which was internal before its detachment might be so, also, in its new si- tuation ; the skin was modelled to the shape of a nose, and con- fined in its proper situation by five sutures; strips of adhesive plaster were placed longitudinally on each side of the nose, then a compress of lint over each, and a strip of adhesive plaster over them again ; two dosils of lint were introduced into the newly- formed cavity for the nostrils; and lastly, pressure, by means of adhesive straps, was made 0: 1 . the upper part of the nose, where the integument was twisted. The spot from which the skin was removed, was dressed with simple dressing and sticking plaster. During the operation, the patient was often obliged to raise him- self from the table for the purpose of spitting out the blood which got into his mouth, a circumstance which retarded it a little. The operator was Mr. Travers, and the whole was completed ia less than half an hour. THE PENITENTIARY.— The whole of tbe prisoners which have been confined in the Penitentiary, are to be disposed of in the following manner:— 100 females have been sent on board the Narcissus, at Woolwich; and 200 males have been removed, to the Ethalian, also stationed at Woolwich— the remaining 300 male prisoners are to be removed, in the course of next week, 011 board the convict ship Dromedary, lying off Woolwich. The Pe- nitentiary will then be thoroughly cleansed, and fumigated dur- ing the winter, so U3 to be ready for the reception of prisoners the ensuing spring. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH, NOV. 17. — The first case was that of Wm. Campbell, certified from the Cir- cuit on an objection in arrest of judgment, upon a conviction of assault and robbery. The objection, which was founded on the terms of the verdict, was over- ruled. The case being restricted to an arbitrary punishment, the Court sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 14 years. The prisoner seemed very much afflicted ot the idea of parting with his wife and family, and applied for permission that they should accompany him. lie was informed by the Lord Justice Clerk that Government had recently permitted the wives of 20 convicts to be sent out to them, and if lie conducted himself well in the colony to which he was going, there was a hope of the same privilege being extended to him, on his applying to the proper quarter. WM. Laing pleaded guilty of being armed for the purpose of unlawfully killing game by night. This was the third conviction under thc new statute of Scotland. Lord Hermand observed that there was no charge against the pannel of his having discharged a gun or killed a single bird ; and he therefore thought four months imprisonment with hard labour at the tread- mill, would be punish- ment commensurate with his offence. The rest of their Lordships were of the same opinion, and the Lord Justice Clerk, in passing sentence, said the object of the statute was not to preserve game, but to put ail end to a notorious and dangerous practice. Alexander Macgillivray, Henry Macgirr, and Jas. Hill, were charged, actors, or art ana part, with stealing silver spoons from the house of Robert Baird, Esq. of Newbyth, and the two latter prisoners with also resetting the same. The evidence of Mr. Band's servants was perfect in identifying Macgillivray as the person who was at Kilsyth- house on the night of the robbery, and Macgirr as one who was about the premises, in company with another, who resembled the prisoner Hill. They also identified the stolen pro- perty, which was traced to the possession of Macgirr and Hill, by the constables who apprehended thc prisoners. The Jury then re- turned an unanimous verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. The Court sentenced Macgillivray and Macgirr to be transported for 14 years. Hill, owing to his confession of guilt, and the ex- pectation inferred from it that lie would be reformed by a milder punishment, was sentenced to be imprisoned 12 months, and em- ployed during that period at the tread- mill—- Macgillivray, whose conduct had previously bordered 011 contumacy, now put on his hat, and openly reviled the Court in indecent language. When the Clerk read that part of the legal denunciation of being hanged as felons if they, Macgillivray or Macgirr, should return before the expiration of their sentence, without cause, Macgillivray put his hand to his neck, and mimicked the last convulsions of nature. On going out he said to the Judges, " We shall be better off than you - Jetting there— you would have sent us to if you could you that when this groaning ceased, she audibly and distinctly heard from the same spot the voices of. two persons in earnest conversation 1 On Sunday last Mr. Williams repaired to St. Alban's gaol, to see Mrs. Probert, and to inform lier of the situation of ner hus- band— She was in bed at the time, anil indisposed. Her answer is said to have been, that, under present circumstances, and, un- til after the trial, she preferred holding no correspondence with her husband. RELIEF OF THE STOMACH FROM POISON.— The Lan- cet., a medical weekly publication, gives an account of the follow- ing experiment, made by Sir Astley Cooper, on Friday last. It is important, as the instrument employed in it may afford the means of instantaneously emptying the stomach in case of poison:—- " On Friday, the operating theatre was crowded to excess, in consequence of its having been previously stated that some expe- riments were to be tried on a dog this day, for the purpose of as- certaining whether liquids could not be put into the stomach, and removed from it by means of an instrument, which had been lately invented by Mr. Reed, of' Horsemonden, Kent. " A dog was placed on the table. Its legs and body being se- cured by two or three of the pupils, an iron pestle was put into its mouth, to keep the jaws separated ; and then a drachm of opium, dissolved in four ounces of water, was poured into the Stomach. After this, the pestle was removed, and the dog left free on thc ta- ble. In the space of 20 minutes the dog manifested a disposition to vomit, which was immediately checked by pressing the finger against the cesophagus. The opium, however, had no very sen- sible effect on the dog till the expiration of 30 minutes, when: the dog was unable to stand upright. When the opium was adminis- tered, the dog's pulse was 120. I11 seven minutes after it became 110, and gradually sunk to 90, which was the lowest point. At the expiration of 33 minutes from the time the opium was given, the stomach was evacuated of its contents by means of the instru- ment, and appeared to be little worse for the experiment. Mr. Reed was in the theatre during the whole of the time, and super- intended the use of the instrument. On quitting he received the • unanimous applause of those present. Sir Astley Cooper, just af- ter the experiment had been tried, looking at what had been re- moved from the stomach, smiled, and said the instrument would do well for an Alderman after a city feast." Judging from the description, Sir. Heed's instrument is sim- ply a pump which by means of two legs in which the proper valves are placed, operates at once as a forcing and as a lifting pump. By means of it, liquids may be either drawn from a basin and forced into the stomach, when there is any object in washing out the stomach, or vice versa. The advantage of this over emetics in many cases of poisoning is obvious. The instrument is so sim- ple, that even from our brief indication of its nature, any person possessed of the slightest mechanical knowledge would be able to make a similar one, as there is no more mystery in pumping out the stomach than in pumping out a well. Elastic gum is the best substance for the tubes. EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION.— The fol- lowing account of a method for straightening bow- legs was given by Sir Astley Cooper, in his Lecture of Wednesday last :— " A person in this metropolis happened to have bow- shins. A part of llis duties was to teach ladies to draw and paint; and in the prosecution of this branch of his profession, lie found liis bow- shirts, as he himself declared to me, a very great evil. ( A laugh.) He felt that his merits were less fairly appreciated, and his instruc- tions less kindly received, by reason of the convexity ot his shins; he was persuaded, in short, that his bow- shins stood between him and his preferment. Under this impression, he went to a very notec^ yejson in this metropolis, and showing him his bone( alaugh) said tohim, ' Pray, Sir, do you think you can make my legs straight ?' ' Sir,' said the Doctor, ' I think I call: if you will take a lodging in my neighbourhood, I think 1 can scrape down your shins, and make them as straight as any man's.' A lodging was taken ; the father of the patient assisted in tbe operation ; and all three of them, the father, the son, and the doctor, took a turn in scraping down the convex shins ! A great deal of rasping was required ; an incision of very considerable extent was made in the Macgillivray is from Glasgow, which the Lord Justice Clerk described as '• tile great source of vice in this country." COURT OF SESSION, EDINBURGH.— A decision in a case of cessio ( insolvency) lately took place in the First Division of the Court of Session, which may be of some importance to half- pay officers. A Captain on half- pay, who had obtained his commis- sion by raising an independent company at the commencement of tbe war, had become insolvent in consequence of some farming spe- culations. He had lost a small estate left him by his father, and had incurred debts to the amount of about 6800/. to meet which he possessed nearly 4000/. thus affording to his creditors about I ' 2, t. or 13s. in the pound. Two of the creditors, whose claims amount ed to about 130/. objected to the pursuer obtaining the benefit of the cessio, until lie had made over some part of his pay. A varie- ty of cases were stated by their Counsel, iu which officers in simi- lar circumstances were called upon to give up a half or a third of tile Government allowance. The Court, however, found that it had 110 power ty compel an officer to enter into any arrangement of that kind, though a contrary belief had for a considerable num- ber of years prevailed. No imputation of fraud had been made 011 the present occasion, and it was observed that the sum craved for would scarcely amount to a farthing in the pound to the object- ing creditors, or pay the Counsel then at the bar for llis appearance. EXECUTION.— This morning, pursuant to their sen- tences, four unhappy men who had violated the laws of their coun- try, were executed at the front of Newgate, viz John Smith, aged 24, for uttering forged 51. Bank of England notes; John Crisp, aged 29, for committing a daring burglary ill Hackney- road ; Edward Hogan, aged 18, for attempting to assassinate his fellow- workman ; and Jas. Scott, aged 48, for cutting and maim- ing his wife.— Smith, it will be recollected, pleaded guilty in de- fiance of the urgent recommendation and entreaties of Mr. Baron Graham. He was dressed very respectably on his trial, and ap- peared to be a man whose behaviour and elegant demeanour de- served a better fate. He admitted that he had been deeply impli- cated in putting. off fabricated Bank paper, lie has left a wife and one child.— Crisp was connected with a lawless gang at the east- end of the town ; there were six or seven capital indictments against him— Hogan was quite a youth. He was a journeyman baker; he stabbed and cut the throat of a follow journeyman, named Weeton, who was also in the employ of Mr. J. Barnett, a master baker, in Upper Thames street— Scott, it will be remem- bered, met his wife in the Regent's Park, and stabbed her in se- veral places with a pair of scissors. He wrote to her to visit him before he suffered, but she declined seeing him, and he has ex- pressed himself much surprised that she would not let liis daugh- ter come to take leave of him. The, culprits were for some time engaged in fervent prayer with several clergymen ; and 011 this occasion the ceremony of knocking of|' the irons was rendered un- necessary, the culprits never having since their conviction, ( pursu- ant to a recent Act of Parliament,) been in irons. The wretched men walked in procession to the scaffold, and on Scott ascending the steps, he took leave of all and ejaculated " In the valley of the shadow of death thou hast been my support, into thy hands I commit myself." After a short time spent in prayer, the fatal signal was given, and in a few minutes they ceased to exist.— They struggled very little. The case of John Smith, ( one of the above culprits,) has. excited a great degree ot sympathy as well as interest. His candour in pleading guilty notwithstanding the humane and earnest advice of the Judge to the contrary, his genteel demeanour, his youth, and elegant deportment, were all calculated to excite feelings in his favour, added to which liis having left a wife, child, antl re- spectable parents, made his case one of an affecting nature. Smith had an early desire for the sea, and went into the King's service at 15, and served on board a seventy- four gun- ship for several years, with great credit to himself and satisfaction to his superi- ors : an accident happened to him at this time which caused his discharge, or he might have died in his country's defence, or have continued in the service to this time; but he retired with a good character, as evidence of which he received a small customary pension. Great interest was made to save him from an ignomi- nious death, if interest it may be called, for the simple statement of those facts which were communicated to the Secretary of State f or the Home Department, tinder the form of a Petition to his Ma- jesty, would doubtless have been attended' with success had not the sense of duty to the public, which influence the Council, over- come those feelings of humanity which the Members in . their pri- vate situations must have felt in common with the rest of the com- munity— Smith was not his family name. MYSTERIOUS CASE.— The Rev. C. C. Colton, who was the author of " Lacon," and other literary works, was Gazetted as a bankrupt a few weeks ago. Though brought up to the Church, he filled no sacred office, but was of most eccentric habits, and had engaged in the wine trade and several other branches of business; and in consequence of his not being to be found to answer to va- rious bills he had given, lie was made a bankrupt. The second meeting of the Commissioners took place on Saturday, but no Mr. Colton appeared; anil in consequence of various enquiries made, it is ascertained that he has not been seen or heard of for some months.— The fact that Mr. Colton had always a large sum of mo- ney about him, and other circumstances, have led to the most ap- palling conjectures as to his mysterious disappearance. ANECDOTE.— When Lieut. Nugent commanded the Greyhound revenue cutter, of Weymouth, one Thos. Russel, of Portland, was prosecuted by him on account of some smuggling transaction, and was sentenced to twenty months imprisonment, but was shortly after set at liberty. A small vessel was afterwards driven on shore in the night on Portland Beach, when all the crew were drowned except a boy, who found his way into Portland, and alarmed the inhabitants, several of whom went to the spot; and among them were Lieut. Nugent and Russel, who, with difficulty, got 011 board her, to see if any person was still alive: after being there a few minutes, the people on shore called 011 them to jump, as there was a sea coming which would dash the vessel to pieces. Before they had time to do so, the sea broke half the mast up, and swept them all on shore except Lieut. Nugent, who was lost sight of for some time. Russel was the first who saw him, the current then carrying him out, when he immediately plunged in, to the great hazard of his own life, and caught the Lieutenant by his hair : the current, however, was so strong that Russel was likewise thrown from his feet, but he still kept his hold until those on shore linked hands together, and extended the chain to Russel, by which means both were saved. On their recovering themselves, Russel thus ad- dressed Lieut. Nugent:—" There, Sir, I have saved your life, al- though you put me in jail." The Lieutenant made Russel a hand- some present 0n the occasion, and both he and Mrs. Nugent were always after remarkably kind to Russel's family. DEATH BY FIGHTING*— On Monday. about 1000 ruffi- ' ans assembled in a field near the Three Colts, Old Ford, to wit- ness a pitched battle between two journeymen bakers, Charles Gibson, aged 20, and Thomas George, aged 19 ; the battle was for one guinea, and a leg of mutton and trimmings. Gibson ex- pressed a desire to relinquish the combat at the third round, but his seconds urging him to continue the fight, he stood up to his opponent for one hour and ten minutes, when, not being able ti> come to time, George was declared the victor. Gibson was dread- fully beaten, and unable to stand ; he was immediately conveyed* into the Three Colts public- house, but expired in three quarters of an hour from the bruises he had received. George was also in, a shocking state, and put to bed in the same house ; but at night was conveyed to Worship- street, and, after examination, commit- ted to Clerkenwell Prison. he was instantly removed into thc In- firmary, and it was currently reported that he died on Tuesday morning; but, on enqniry, we find he is still living, though un- able to be brought up for examination. Gibson worked for Mr. Clement, a baker, in Bethnal- green- road. His master heard of the intended fight, and entreated him not to go; but the youth persisted, and actually was discharged from his place the same morning, for persevering in his obstinate resolution. When he quitted liis master's house, he declared he would fight until lie died ; for he never would have another master or mistress. George worked for a Mr. Fawcett, of Tyson- street, who attended him to the field, and was present during tbe conflict. Mr. Lloyd, a hat- ter, in Bethnal- green- road, and a Special Constable, attended, and used his utmost endeavours to prevent the fight; but several of the ruffians surrounded him, and threatened to destroy him if he again interfered. It is said that the seconds, and several others, are in custody, chargcd with being accessaries to the death of the unfortunate man.
