The intelligence they > hiding is of comparatively little interest. They sue • priiicipally occupied with , the account of the Duke d\ Augo'uleihe> s triumphant entry into the capital on Tuesday. This morning, we received iutellig. enee from Bayonue to the 28th, with accounts from Madrid of the 22d ult. Ail these accounts concur in re- presenting Spain io a most alarming situation. An empty Treasury— the finances completely disor- ganised— the credit pfi the Government ruined—> the Priesthood resurtiing their former tyranny',— the soldiers dismissed jv- rn service, forming tskeuistiyes into banditti ami sc^ uriug. fhi' country./ Lisbon Papers bring: the account of an audience which tlie Russian £ harg< e d'Affaires had with the Infant Don Miguel, Jot the purpose of congratulat- ing him, in the name of his Imperial xMajesty upon his recent •. conduet in bringing about the Counler- Revolution. These complimentary mis- sions have something; of novel fcy in them : they are an innovation upon what has hitherto been the ordinary practice. Pt is not irnwoi thy of observa- tion, too, that Russia,, which, scarcely half a century ago, was considered rather as an Asiatic, than an European. Power, or, at all events, the traces of whose policy were not- discernible beyond the Northern Courts, now takes the lead, and with apparent ostentation^ iu all these emphatic' ap- provals of what is done by the Sovereigns of Italy, Spain, aud Portugal. This disposition to become identified with every political transaction of moment, from the Enxine to the Tagus, and from the Tagus to the Vistula, meets us at every turn. We will not say that the real influence of Russia is equal to its apparent influence, or to the activity of its diplomacy ; but she certainly contrives to till a large space in the affairs of Europe.— Courier. By the arrival of the Agnes in the Clyde, from Demerara, papers have been received of the 201 h, and letters of 24th October. The colony was tranquil, but martial law still continued in force, and the Courts Martial were still proceeding in trying the Slaves implicated iti the late rebellion. Ten of the principal ringleaders are yet absent and unaccounted for. Elliot, the Missionary, has, il appears, been liberated, but charges of a different, and scarcdy less serious nature, it appears, hang over him. The trial of Smith commenced on the 13th, and was expected to last three weeks. Only military men are allowed to form the Court Martial There is but one opinion amongst all classes in the Colony, that the Missionaries from Ihe London Society should leave the Colony, and their places be immediately supplied by Clergymen of the Established Church of England or of Scotlaud. The Official Report which had just been made to the Governor of the Island, by the Registrar for the triennial registration of the Slave Population, decidedly charges the Missionaries as the cause of the rebellion.— Glasgow Chronicle. MR. WALLACE. Weymouth, November 27.— The Right Hon Thomas Wallace and Mastertoa Cre, Esq. M. P. arrived here on Wednesday, and were welcomed hy the gratulations of the Mayor, Joseph Horsford, Esq. and many of the principal visitors and in- habitants. By a previous resolution of the Corpo- ration it was unanimously agreed to request Mr. Wallace to accept the office of Principal Burgess, as a mark of their highest esteem. Accordingly oil Monday last the Corporation, waited on the Right Hon. Gentleman, in full costume, at bis House in York Buildings. The Mayor havingstated the object of the visit, said that the Coporation had resol ved upon this measure as a token of respect for the important and invaluable services which the llight Hon. Gentleman had rendered to' his Country, by tbe introduction of the liberal and enlightened policy under which its commerce is now carried ou, and for his zeal and attention to the interest of Wey- mouth.— Mr. Wallace, iu expressing his acknow- ledgments for the kindness of the Corporation, said, that he should be indeed vain if lie did not feel that tiny services he could suppose himself ca- pable of rendering lo his Country were far over- paid by the appreciation that had heen made of them. In his situation of President of the Parliamentary Commission, aided hy most valuable colleagues, he had endeavoured to remedy the abuses and de- fects prevailing iu the revenue departments of Ireland, to improve the intercourse between the two Countries ; and to introduce changes that he trusted would eventually have the effect of con- tributing to ameliorate the condition of the Sister Kingdom. In the station he had lield iu the Com- mittee of Trade, he had particular opportunities of observing the operation of the restrictions on our commerce, both as they bore upon our internal interests and as they affected the disposition of foreign nations tnwards us. He had become con- vinced that a system more enlarged and more liberal, more suited tothe spirit of the age, was not onl y essential to extend and improve the sources, of our greatness and prosperity, our trade and navi- gation, hut even to preserve to us the station we possessed. With this impression he had become a zeal ous advocate for such a modification of the com- mercial law of the Country as was best directed to that end ; and witli the support of many of the greatest commercial authorities, he bad been so successfully.— The Legislature had recognised the principle, and most important changes in our com. mercial law had been the consequence. Whatever doubts might have existed at the time, and what- ever alarms might have been felt, he believed tliey were now in a great measure dissipated, and the Commercial Interests anticipated nil the advantages he had ventured to hold out when he recommended those changes to the House of Commons. Much, be said, remained to be done. The interests which had grown up under the old system claimed con- sideration from the justice and good faith of Parlia- ment ; but he was confident iu stating that what re- mained must gradually lie accomplished by the feel- ings of the Commercial World, and the wisdom of the Legislature. — He was happy to believe, that Already some benefit had been derived from the new system, and that it had contributed something to that flourishing state of our Commerce aiid Manu- factures which all of them must contemplate with delight, and which could not hut be felt by every other interest. For so constituted was this Country, so blended were the interests of every class, that none could either decline or be prosperous without ihe effect lining extended throughout every part of the common body. These benefits, he doubted not, would rapidly increase, if the blessings of Pence were continued to them. Peace was now their greatest interest, and he trusted that it would be preserved, as long as it could be pre- served with honour, notwithstanding any efforts that might he made to urge tbeui into hostilities. The Country was too powerful, our resources were too well known, to allow the principle of the policy pursued hy us to be mistaken, lie hoped, therefore, peace would be continued to en- able us to husband and improve our resources, not only for our internal happiness and prosperity, but to be the instrument, if circumstances should eall for it, of protecting our best interests, and again vin- dicating ( as they had more than once been) the liberties and independence of Europe, Captain Parry is stated to he iu Sequent com- I muniealiou w ith Government on the subject of a new expedition, which has been, determined upon. The route, it is said, has not yet heen decided, hough it is thought that Lancaster Sound afibrds the bast prospect of success, and lhat Captain Parry will proceed there in the first instance.— This gallant Officer, the public will be gratified to learn, bar. been appointed. Hydro& raphei: to the Board of Admiralty. Tbe daughter of a Barnner residing < m the banks of Ihe Thames, lately left her home under the following circumstances:— An affection existed between her and an officer in the army, but the lady's friends ware averse to the match, and two years ago tbe officer departed for the East Indies. Recently,, the. young lady, who is 28 years: of age, received a letter from the object of bet affections abroad, soon afjir which, feigning a. visit io a friend for a short time, she left her father's house, embarked on hoard a vessel ready to sail, and is now on her voyage to join her lover in the East Indies. It was not till inquiry was made at the place of her supposed visit, that Ihe elopement was discovered— too late to arrest her flight.— The family of the young gentleman wer. e ever averse lo the match, which they discovered bad been agreed Oil when he was little more than seventeen, and the father, we understand, obtained a commission in a regiment of dragoons going to India soon after, wards, seuding bis son lo the greatest possible distance, on purpose to break off the attachment. Lieutenant Davy, K N. proposes a method of conveying a line to the shore from a stranded vessel hy a sort of buoy with a reel upon it capable of holding 500 yards of deep- sea line, aud a sail of strong canvass, made and fixed to a diagonal staff precisely like a parachute. This, be says,, may be kept constantly hanging over the stern or quarter of tbe vessel, nnd when wanted, needs only to be dropped into the water, and it will be propelled by the wind to the shore. He has no hesitation in saying it would also lake a man ou shore, ami were he placed in such a situation, be would not for a moment scruple to try Ihe experiment. He adds Ihat a reel attached to any thing that would swim, of whatever shape, would go directly on shore in a gale of wind without any sail. CAUTION TO BANKRUPTS— Robert Davis, of London, ironmonger, dealer aud chapman, a bankrupt, upon his examination before the Com- missioners, on Tuesday last, the 2d instant, at the Albion Hotel, Birmingham, was committed to Warwick Gaol for not satisfactorily answering the questions proposed to him respecting the discovery of his estate and effects.

Sir John Copley succeeds to the vacant office of Attorney- General; but, up to the present moment, no person has been named as his successor in the office, of Solicitor- General. We can stale upon the best authority, that allho' Mr. Wetnereli is talked of as the person upon whom this honour is likely to fall, he has not yet received it.— Courier.

LINCOLNSHIRE ELKCTION.— On Wednesday last, Sir John Thorold came forward, and after voting for Sir W. Iogilby, addressed Ihe freeholders declaring that the whole of Ihe proceedings were against his consent, as be was decidedly unwilling to stand for the county. He would never promote Ihe coolest, nor give one shilling to its support.— Notwithstanding these statements made personally by Sir John Thorold, tiie parlies who put him in nomination persevered in continuing the poll until Saturday last ( the lOih day), when the numbers were — for Sir W. Ingilliy 3810 ; for Sir J. Thorold 1575 — The parties who had put Sir J. Thorold's name forward then declined any further contest ; Sir W, IngUby was declared duly elected ; thanks were returned to the High Sheriff; and the successful candidate was chaired through the city.

The Birth of a Son and Heir to the Rev. Charles Leicester, Rector of Westhury, was celebrated on the 6th inst. at the I- ion Inn, by a number of friends of that gentleman. The day was spent in harmony and conviviality, with roasling'of sheep, tinging o£ bells* — Al night there was an illumination. The Duke of Gloucester passed Tuesday last at Drakelow, the scat of Sir Roger Gi: esley, Bart, and thence proceeded to Sir Charles Oakeley's, • Earl. at the Palace, Lichfield, where he arrived on Wednes- day. In the afternoon, accompanied by Sir Charles, his Lady and family, His Royal Highness visitetl the Cathedral, where he was met by the Dean, who accompanied the party over the venerable edifice. On Thursday, at one o'clock, Ihe Royal Duke left the city on bis way lo Croome in Worcestershire, the seat of tbe Earl of Coventry, where he arrived early the same evening. We understand that, in consequence of several robberies, and attempts at robbery, lately commit- ted in this town, an additional number of watchmen are to Ue appointed. Committed io our County Gaol; James Phillips, charged with stealing a quantity of sheep- miting; the property of Mr. W. Turner, of Dothill Park ; Alexander Green, charged with stealing a piece of brown stuff, the propcily of Mr James Sayer, mercer, Shrewsbury; Ann Capper ami William Jones, charged w ith stealing, out of the shop of Mr. Samuel Tart, of Wenlock, a drawer, con. tabling about £ 8 iu money and bills. Many depredations having been recently commit- ted, iu the night- lime, in thin county and vicinity, housekeepers are particularly cautioned to be upon Ihe alert during the present season, and are recom- mended to be strict in examining the fastenings of their doors and windows at night, aivd especially of cellar windows and grates for the admission of coals, as attempts have been made ( o effect entrance into dwelling- houses by such means. The applica- tions of itinerant dealers in hare- skins, broken glass, sand, & c. should not be encooraged by servants, as their principal object, under the osten sible cloak of dealing, is often to examine tbe entrances and fastenings of houses, & c.' THE LATE STORMS — The storms of last week have, we'are Sorry to say, been productive nf serious injuries in various inland parts of ihekingdoin ; and accounts from the const also . record much damage sustained by ihe shipping interests.— la neither ca. se however, does the injury auiniint to any comparison with the calamities sustained by the dreadful Muttm. which look place iu December last year.— Part of two garden walls at Beaucbamps, near this town, Ihe residence . if Miss Sinitheman, were blown down on Wednesday night; and many buildings'and stacks in this vicinity were partially injured. At Gloucester, ™ ! Wednesday morning, the thunder was loud and frequent, and. Hie lightning very vivid, accompanied by a remarkably heavy - storm of rain. The occurrence of such a visitation at this advanced seas, in of the year, is rather an extraordinary instance of the uncertainty of our climate. Tiie sioriu ap- pears to have been very general, as it raged wiih considerable fury the same morning, at Bristol, Carmarthen, Cheltenham, and in almost every other d.- ection around. Ou Wednesday night, during the violent storm of ruin and wind, a number of trees were torn up by the roots in the neighbourhood of Dunchlirch, and iu consequence of one of them being blown partly across the road near that town, the horses of the Loudon and Holyhead. mail downward took fright, and running up ilie hank on the opposite side, the coach was upset, by which ils progress was delayed near au hour, lint we are happy to state, Ibat no injury was sustained by eilher passengers or emu'hman. In Liverpool, we find, great alarm pervaded the minds of the inhabitants on Wednesday night, the fnry uf the wind was so terrific. Great numbers of persons rose fronMheir beds, and went to the ground- floors till day- break. Stacks of ehiiipiies were blown down in many places, and the roofs of bouses were forced in by tiietn. The daughter of the Rev. Mr. Wiiislanley, in St. Vinceut- slreet, was crushed to death in tied : her sister's life was saved, though she was milch hurt. Many vessels were driven onshore, and the banks of the Mersey exhibited on Thursday the dreadful effects of widely . extended wreck. Several factories and other buildings in Manchester and the vicinity were much damaged by the storms of Tuesday and Wednesday night.— vU Barnsley, the public gas works were greatly injured, with many liuiiditigsaud cottages in the town and vicinity. REPRESENTATION OF HEREFORD.— A very active canvass has been commenced, both by Mr. Clive and Mr. Blakemoyc, amongst the freemen of Hereford, lo secure their suffrages against the next vacancy which may occur 111 1' ie representation of that city; and both parties express themselves confident of success, A vacancy is now rendered certain, by Mr. R. Scudamore's declared intention lo retire, from tll- lieyllh, on the next dissolution of Parliament. These proceedings have elicited an address from Lord Eastnor to his constituents, in which he expresses bis reliance upon their support whenever he shall haye occasion again to solicit it. On Monday afternoon, the 1st inst. about five o'clock, a fire broke out in a barn belonging lo Mr. Joseph Baldwin, of Hall Green, near Bir- mingham. For sometime Mr. Baldwin, with the assistance of his neighbours, endeavoured to ex- tinguish the flames, but without effect^ sud at half past seven, information was dispatched to Bir mingbam, during which time the destructive element was rapidly gaining ground, and had coinmunicaled lo 1 be adjoining buildings. fly tbe timely arrival of the engines, however, the dwelling bouse and ricks io the adjoining yard were pre- served, but it was after one o'clock before tbe flames were entirely subdued. The damage is estimated at about £ 100 — The fire vyas occasioned by the indiscretion of a boy about ten - years of ; ige, who was amusing himself by lighting straws from a lantern, some of which fell upon the ground and communicated to similar combustible juatter. Another explosion of hydrogen gas tool; place ill a coal pit at I'Vutml Park, near Laue- Delpli, 011 Tuesday last. Twenty persons, men aud boys, were at work iu Ibe pit at the time, t. bey perceived that a large quautily of foul air- had collected, but before they . could be removed from their dangerous situation, i. t ignited, and each of them received more or less injury; the lives of several are. in danger, but at present nunc dead.— Staffordshire A Aver User. To tlte Editor of the Salopian Journal. I have to acknowledge your obliging civility, in inserting in your Paper niy letter some weeks siuce relative to the insurrection ou the island of Denie- raral The design of that letter was the exculpation of the Methodist Missionaries from the heavy and sweeping charges then in circulation against them, as the Chief instigators of this much to be lamented insurrection. I was certainly surprised to find in voin Paper of the 3d inst. a letter on this subject, " which, from the signature and the personalities it contains, merits the full application to tbe author of bis Latin quotation. Mr'. " Bystander" takes for granted that which ought to have been proved, or not stated at all. He insinuates that, by studied ignorance of the parties silence and pretended „ ... , . concerned, 1 was, like the midnight assassin, thrusting a blow in the dark at the reputation of' the Missionaries of the London Mi^ sionarjr Society. Such insinuations are, to apply his Roman nia\ ii) i in its mildest sense, ILL NATIJREP, and sijvour qof, of that charity which hopetli all things, The fact is, I was only concerned to refute the charges brought against METHODIST Missionaries! There were 110 charges brought against any otljer Missionaries that Iliad at that time heard of; nor had I the most distant knowledge that the person bearing tbe name of Smith belonged to, any other Society. Is it not strange, even admitting, my most perfeet knowledge of the two persons in ques- tion, that the onus should be supposed to lie upon me to exculpate them from blame? I have uni- formly expressed my hope and trust, that NO Missionaries could so far depart from their instruc- tions, and from their proper work, as either directly or indirectly to foster spirit of insubordination to the powers'that be, and have invariably recom- mended a suspension of judgment till the whole is known. I can assure Mi'- Bystander'-' that none will more sincerely rejoice in their complete exone- ration from blame than, the writer of these lines. Aud though I believe, with, him, that liberty is the birthright of every human b^ ing, I also, believe the work of Missionaries is to preach the Gospel of Peace. Your insertion of this will further oblige a friend of all Missionary Societies. J. CHETTLE. Shrewsbury, December 8,1823. - - 1 1 IL- '. i, 1 W AI. ES. BIRTH.

CSES.-~ On the subject of the similarity between the Celtic aud language <? f Northern Africa, it has been stated that Captain, afterwards Sir Alex Ball, was once stationed off Qoree, on the coast, of Africa, and had on board his ship a detachment of the ?£ th regiment, coinpp. sed chiefly of Welshmen A party of them- had permission to land on the con- tinent, and commenced a little barter trade for articles of provision, & c. with some of the natives \ vho had come frorp the iyterior. To, the surprise of the Cambrians th. ey found that some Welsh words; used among themselves, appeared to be understood by the. negroes. They- then ad ressed them in Welsh and received replies in a language something simi- lar to Welsh, and thereby maintained an intercourse with the nat- iyes. in a broken but intelligible manner, So extraordinary a circumstance could not fail to become kno\ Vu to the Captain, and he, with his usual sagacityy was determined to ascertain the fact. He accordingly invited some of the natives on board,, and deputed a few of the most steady and intelligent men in the regiinent, and who find wot been. on. share, to converse with them. A conference was accordingly held before him and the whole ; crew, of course occasionally interrupted by words which were strange to each party : but a conver sation was held in a language understood by both The astonishment of the Cambrians is not easily conceived, at finding negroes speaking a language • in which they could make themsel ves understood to Europeans of so peculiar a dialect! Captain Ball asked a sergeant what he thought of it? and the reply was, that the language was certainly not ex- actly Welsh, but it was so very much like it, that he understood the natives much better than he did a man in the regiment who spoke Irish.

The Judges of Assize, Mr. Justice Park and Mr. Justice- Hotroyd, after attending Divine Service this morning, proceeded to the County Hall, arid the usual forms having been gone through, the Grand Jury ( the Hon. W. Lamb, foreman)' were sworn.' Mr. Justice PARK then addressed thfm fq t| ie following effect: CHARGE. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury.— We are assem- bled at this unusual season of the year, under the Special Commission of his Majesty, for the purpose of: trying' stich prisoners as may have 1 » ee^ com- lhitted to the'gaol since the last summer assizes." In that service it is of the greatest importance that the functionaries of the law, in the • administration of, criminal jurispfudence, ' should' be: supported by gentlemen of I'espectabflity, such as those whom I : iave now the pleasure of seeirig aro'un'd me. Aided hy the support of such gentlemen, the administration of the laws cannot but be satisfactory, as it ought to be 5 and gentlemen, surely nothing is of more im- portance than that the great body of his Majesty's subjects should see the institutions of their country properly sustained and duly enforced. Gentlemen, n looking over the calendar you will perceive there s a consM^ Mble number of prisoners, and I am sorry also to'see that- several are foremost serious offences. Whatever may be the result of the trials, is impossible for me to judge ; but, notwithstand- ng the number of prisoners, br the lieavy nature of the charges exhibited against them, there ^ re few in the li^ to whose cases I shall1feel it necessary especially to call your attention—- mast of them are ucih as all of; you- are in the habit of adjudicating pon weekly if not daily.— It is scarcely necessary, however^ to state, that qn each of. theiti myself and my ^ earned Brother'wfll n » . 6st readily give you very informaiioh. ^ ut the- fe' is one ease on which must of necessity make s'ouje remarks, because it has uia^ e considerable noise In the world : for my- self I can say, with1 truth, that although have read the depdsitio'ns which have been handed tome, I personally know nothing of what has been' pub- lished in the newspapers, 1 ilot having read a line of all that has gone forth tothe world through that chah'nel. I1, for one, therefore, may say, that, as far as any previous opinion ofthe cdse is concerned, a more1 impartial person than myself never enteied a Court ot Justice. I feel it necessary to make a few preiiiiiinary observations on this case, with a view, tb future circumstances. The language of re- proaches never pleasant to me ; it is hostile to my ' eelings; but in administering the justice of the cou'ntry' I have a duty to discharge which is para- mount to all personal considerations. These deposi- tions1 have, somehow or other, as I have been informed', been copiously dispersed by n| eans of the public' press. The fault certainly origi'natecj— though 1 have no doubt most unintentionally,: a'nd I beg not to be understood' as throwing out any personal reflection' on: the conduct of any gentleman t » ut the fault certainly originated in the Magis- trates allowing a< » y person W- liatever to enter the^ r private room during'the investigation of the matter^, and to'take not^ s ot^ the case.< I hold— and I believe I shall he borne Out in what I say by my Learned Brother^- t. hat there is a vast, difference between the inquisitorial and the'judicial power of a magistrate Where a Magistrate is acting judicially^ he is liable, like all other' Judges, to- be heard and judged of himself. Eorihv own part, I may truly say/ ltbat I wish my judicial opinions to be examined with all possible freedom. , t trust that I always meat) to do what is right, but lam aware thaf I . am continually in error, for' no- human being can doubt that he errs continually, because ' he is a human being.' When a Magistrate, however, is inquiii: n into a crime, to say that all the depositions In sue a case should be published generally to the'world is a propdsition vyh'ich cannot he listenedfor i single moment. It is his- duty to investigate,- to inquire ;; and the ^ Statute law prescribes a rule for his conduct in the' discharge <> f that duty. The statute of Philip and Mary^ which Was passed up wards of two hundred and fifty years ago, requires that all examinations before Magistrates, in cases of murder atfd : felotiyy shall b^ taken in writing and' transmitted tothe Judges* bf Oyer ahd Ternji ner. The •' constant practice^ with' respect to the'se depositions, has beenHo transmit tjiem directly to the Judges, an'd the party accused, or his advisers, have never been permitted to see them. The depositions have been subject to the inspection of the Courisel for the prosecution, and' to the; officer of the Cbui- t, as well as to'the Judge. 4, but they have always bpeu religiously kept from the observation of the accused . The consequence of the publication of this evidence is, that the accused party knows all that will be produced against him at his trial, and the objpet of sending the depositions to the Judges in this manner entirely defeated. It Occurred to speetfuMy A , issued for the Election of a Coroner) to solicit your Votes and Interest for the Appointment. It must be admitted by every Person conversant with the Local Interests of the County, that the present Limit's of the Districts to which the Co- ronerS are confined iequire miiclv Alferation'; arid if that can be effected through the Interference of the Magistrates in Sessions, a considerable Saving in the County Kates will thereby ensue, and the Public will be benefitted by a more sp edy Ad ministration bf Justice. 1 ' ! ltis Af the highest Importance to a County that loroner should be filled by a Pei VALUABLE TIMBER. the Office of Coroner bv Person who, from his Experience and Situation in I< ife, j to shew the same, may be relied upon to discharge its Duties legally and conscientiously. From tht? flattefiiig Success and strong Assurances of Support I have hitherto met with in my Canvass through'different Parts of the County, 1 feel confi- dent of being the Object of your Choice tjri the D; iy of Election. Should' I not be able to wait individually on every Freeholder of this County, I trust that the same may not he attributed t'o Disrespect.

This never can he right under any circum- stances. I have said thus much, because I am most anxious to preserve the purity of justice ; and because, liighly as 1 esteem the liberty of the press, " hold the trial by Jury, as a palladium of British berty, in still higher veneration j and I am con- nerd that that palladium can only be maintained u its purity, as long as the administration of justice • ontinnes pure and uncorrupled. I mean not to say that the administration of justice has been affected by this proceeding ; but it may he put in danger.. It is a proceeding which is not only dangerous to the - accusers, but it may be so to the accused. Of this I am unite sure, that it is a proceeding m. ist injurious to the administration of . j nsfice, and calcu- lated most materially to impede its course. It im- poses upon Judges the necessity of addressing, even Gentlemen of your high character in the country with unusual energy, in order to prevent any- Im- proper bias either on the one side or the other. The publication of evidence is, upon the whole, however, more favourable to the accused than- to the prosecutor; because it gives the accused a benefit which the law of England ne- ver conteui- ilated, namely, an opportunity of knowing before- land the points which may he brought' in, evidence against him on his trial. - Whether this may he beneficial to one of the parties, or disadvantageous to either or Ijoth of tliem, I will'not pretend to decide, but I am quite satisfied that such a proceed- ing is highly hlaineable. In conclusion, I- have no difficulty in stating my opinion to you, iu the hear- ing of my Learned Brother— and 1 believe my opinion is sanctioned by the authority of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench, and by that of all the judges who have sat on- the bench during the last century'— that to print evidence- a priori on a' criminal ca'se, which is to form the snbjeet of inquiry in a Court of Justice before- a Jury, accompanied with notes'and'comments, is a high crime and; misdemeanour, punishable, on conviction, by fine, and imprisonment: Such, according to my firm belief, ii » ' the lawi of the land W'ith reference to this point. There was one- piece of evidence in this case, which, as I have ' been informed,' was published, and ' of wbjtfb I canmit but consider the publication as most unadvised. ' l-; do not w- isji to make any harsh observation's, but I-' caniict Help remirking, that th'e- public theniseWes luvv'e in some , measure occasioned this mischief-. ' There - seems to be a pruriency, ( Hid an- flppetite Ifef news om'otlg the people of this cn'initrv,- shell lis characterised the Athenians of old: iwijo, as the Grecian historians inform us-, were alv/ a'ys desirous'of reading souie- thitiginew. i In fact they^ se'em to lie never satisfied unless flioy are absolutely ' glutted with things of this sorf:'" The" pieee of • evidence'to whi'cli I liave just ftlliided is, as I understaiid, ft confession of one ofthfe prisoners; aud a \! e: rv little o* flection will enable people to se* the mischief which must arise from the" publication of sneh a dopuuient. A con- fession is,- of all other' things, tliat of , which it is impossible fo Say,' until the'period of t rial , whether it be or Ke not admissible jn evidence ; and nothing, therefore', could be more unadvised, independently of its illegality, than'its preinature publicatjoii. I shall say no more on this subject at present ; but I trust that what I have said will induce Gentlemen to reflect on the consequences of a practice, which they have permitted, I have no doubt with the best intentions, but from the continuance of- which much mischief would arise tothe administration of justice " Gentlemen, the case which has drawn from me these observations is a charge against a person named John Tlmrtell, and agailist " two other persons named Joseph Hunt and William Probert, as accomplices for th'e crime of murder; a most awful crime, under whatever circumstances it may, have been committed, but which appears to have been committed in this ease under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. What the'intention of those who three of them as principals ip th, e first degree, or to indict some of thelit as principals in the second de- gree, or as accessaries before or after the fact-- I can- not tell. With regard to the three first descriptions of crime, as committed by principals in the first aud second degree, and by accessaries before the fact, although the fqrm of stating the crime is somewhat different, the legal result to the individuals, if con- vfcted, is- the same. ' A principal in the first degree is'the person who actually commits the murder ; a principal'iq . the second degree is a person who is said in law to be aiding, present, assisting, and comforting the principal i u the first degree. If a man* by keeping watch and ward so as to* pre vent i^ trtsiotV^ Ofin any othe. r manner aid and assist; in, the fimrigrj though he. be not the persob Avhc£ struek the blow; h^ iieqjiaU'y guilty with the principal in the first degree.' ', An accessary before tlje fact is be \ Vho,- though hot on - the spot- where the mlirder is committed, yet by his advice, counsel, or command beforehand, assists in - the crime.' An accessary after the fact is die who,- after the fact has been committed, knowingly ' receives, harbours, ' fend entertains the principal felon or felons. Under whidi of these descriptions the parlies may be indictcd jn this unfortunate case, I am unable to tell you,^ br itis not my province to know. The niurder. appears to have been one of a very dreadfuTkind, - and to have'been committed under circumstances; of horrible atrocity l> y; some person or other. The evidence in this case, as in most cases of. innrder, consists of a chain of pirciniistances ; the murder is not proved by positive facts, fqi'Vinen do not commit these- crimes iii the face of day ; they commit^ theht in secret., or at least imagine that they commit them : n secret 3 forgetting that. His eye sees them from horn no secret is hidden. It is only therefore by a chain of cfreuinstances that yoti « can y get at ' the evidence of. sueli crimes ; and I need not observe to men^ whose minds are habituated to reasoning, that circumstantial evidence is much more satistactony than what is called the ' positive, testimony of one or two witnesses, jC. ircum'stantial e vidence establishes similar resuhs by a Variety of facts, trifling; per- haps, when separately considered, but1 important^ as they conduce to the same end, and it is scarcely possible1 that the evidence of thirty or forty persons on apparently unimportant particulars, could chime in so as n'qt to produce a chain. of proof consistent in all its parts,, a) id Establishing the main' question of guilt— if guilt did not really exist in the case. In this respect circumstantial evidence is much less liable error or suspicion than the direct testi- mony of one of two iindividuals. T He re is- one circumstaiMie which I observed on reading the depositions, to which I beg leave to dir'ect your particular attention.-' I understand that a pe'rson ias either jjefft removed hither, or is i^ bqut to be remoyed hi| her, to, give evidence on this subject, before you • and the Petty Jury . I have read the deposition of this person, who is a female of the na? fie Of'Probert, and, as I understand, the wife of one of the'persons ace use dr. 1 have no difficulty- in stating, that if all these three persons are indicted for one andljie same offence,: - his woiflan^ if she be. the wife < of; one of theinv cannot be. called as a witness, either to convict. her husband oui th'e One hand, or to exculpate him On the other ; because the law of < J? n § : land, on ^ principle of policy, will not allow a woman 4o'he a! witness either for; or against he^ hdsband. I am afraid, Gentlemen, you will think I have detained you too long, but I was anxious to make y bur mi nils easy by explaining every circumstance w. hich might possibly create a difficulty in your ilivesffgatid'n of ^ his case! I will merely add^ that yon,- as . the Grand Jury, are not called upon to try theUrinh or falsehood of the charge ; y « u are merely to try ' Whether it be a fit and probable case to put these, persons on their tcittl. f' If ' yoiti'," tis the Grand Jury, were to hear the evidence prb- ahd oon. vou woijld be talcing upon yoin- selves avMiCtiou which the Constitution does not empower you toHqM - yoirwould be usurping the functfoHs of the Petty Jury, who fire to be empanelled before me, and who are to receive the benefit of my directions,- if any : benefit can be derived from my directions. Having addressed these few observations to you, Gpntlemeu, I have now only to request that yqu will retire to expedite the busines^ isf the! cbtihtry.'' 1 ' The Grand Jury then retired. As Mrs. Prohert's testiniony wqs deemed most essential by the prosecutors,' tlie observations ofthe Learned Judge induced them to consult their legal advisers upon that point.— A general consultation took place in consequence, and aftpr a long and arduous consideration it was determiped to indict JOHN rtr'lhp coinmisi sion of tjie murder, arid JOSEPH 11U;'; T AS • AN ACCESSARY BEFORE THE PACT, and to h< imit- Wit* LI A 3I PFTPBERT. as an EVIDENCE FOR THE CROWN. Probert was almost overpowered with joy on receiving intelligence of this fact, and he" was immediately taken before the Grand, JurV to give evidence.- rRunt was struck with astoriishnient on hearing that? tie would certainly be tried as an accessary in the murder, and that he Would not be admitted evidence. « i The Grand Jury fqtind " a true bill1' against the prisoners. ' ,- On Friday mo rising, the prisoners Thurtell, Hunt, qud Rroberf, were brought into Court, heavil v ironed, at half past seve. n> o- clock, and shortly after- wards Mr. Justice Park took his seat on the Bench. • The prisoners having been arraigned, the indict- ment against ThurteM as the principal, and against Hunt as the accessary, was read;; Thurtell and Hunt distinctly pleaded " Not' Guilty.""— The Counsel tor Thurtell * were Messrs.

' J. ' When the Clerk of the Arraigns was proceeding to r « ' a< l that part of tiie affidavit which related to the statements of the Newspapers, * Mr. Justice IV, B'K ttiterrupteili.. him, and said, I know iwithiitg, irtVcrinese, of what ' you are going to do ; hut 1 h. Ope that all this is done with the best considerations— 1 shaM: tell> yon why \ make this observation; I can answer for ojie person in the Court, that | ie has not seeqtiiny part of the statemehts to which you- allude5. i- But supposing those calumnies to have been spread, it may he that oil the persons who are ou the Jury may- not have seen tliose state- ments but whether they have or not, the question for you to*' Comider is, whether 0'' riot, the recital of those matters, may ; n<> t. injure ' your'own cause? I mention it in kindness to the prisoners. Mr* ANDREWS soldi, . that he, in conjunction with his^ jearned. Fi reads, had given the matter the best consideration, aud that the feSult was iu favour of proceeding with the affidavit.' The affidavit was then read without further interruption:— The reading lasted for about two hours, i-: During the reading of the affidavit, the JCDOE ordered | 4ie prisoners to be accommodated -' with seats A form was handed in, and the three prisoners sat down. •• The matter contained in the affidavits was, of course, new to the prisoners. They listened? \ vith deep j| ttention and curiosity to Ihe historjr of the affair, as it - iVas thus read to them. Some- of the anecdotes relating to Thurtell, that prisoner received with much surprise; and as many ofhem were to his disadvantage, he seemed chagrined, and occa- sionally made an observation to the gaoler, who sat beside him. Mr. ANDREWS theii rose. Justice had, he said, been most powerfully assailed in all those publica- tions whicn had been made- iri; a country where the pure administration of justice was the constant and invariable boast, and where the maxim was in ever. y man's mouth, that ewery man was innocent until proved guilty. In the course of nature* impressions must have been made upon the mass. o}' - nl^ nkind- r impressions, against- which, the talents, Experi- ence, and education of the Learned Judge protected him, but which the. great body of the public mt( st, more or less, be permanently affected by. The murder alleged to have been committed, happened so short a it, i use- ago as the- iponth of October, and ever since that time the press had been sending forth to the world the most; positive assurances that the prisoners at the bar had been guilty of it. The supposed merits ofa question? were entered into by the press, which had asserted what the- Magistrates dared not to speak of, and the most cruel prejudices \ Vere the inevitable teSult. How, Under. such cir- cumstances, was justice to be obtained ?., lie could shew that a Jury must come now to the decision with poisoned and disordered minds. How; impos- sible was it for them to come in any- other condition. The affidavit presented sUuh grounds for a post- ponement as were, in his opinion,- insurmountable, and' upon those grounds he , now made the applica- tion. The Learned Counsel then ; urged the argn- inents of the impediment^ thrown iit1 the,, way of Thiirtell by the restrictions ; at the gaol., He de- mande4' that it should bo borne in m] rid that the parties^ had been deprived of that unrestrained intercourse • with .- their legal . advUifirs which was necessary to their defence. He must also be suf- fered to add, that not . only had the public mind bqen prejudiced against them by the publications which had taken place j bit the subject Iiad been dramatised, s The infamous placard, announcing his exhibition, had been printed in a letter culcu ated to catch; every eye, and Had- been displayed at the corner of every street, . couched in terms which could: not but have the.' effect of holding up these unfortunate persons to the world as objects of norrpr. In that very: town. of Hertford, where justice was to be admiriistered- at the very doors of the sanctuary of justice itself, placards had been circulated by hundreds, inviting the Jurors,- and others who were to take " part in the proceedings of that Court.,' to publications, containing a distorted represe- ntatiori of the facts of the ease, ^ f the impressions whielv this might produce on the minds ofcJurors, there could be but one opinion. On these grouuds he contended for delay.; and appealed tq his, Lordship, in conclusiori, if, in the discharge of the first duty of a Judge,, that of administering justic^ xvith an equal hand, the accused ought, to be tried now, when theil' lites might be ^ improperly placpd in jeopardy, by circumstances which would not con- tinue to operate in the same degree, after the lapse of. a'- few'- months-. That great prejudice had been excited, was clear from the fact that it had been sworn that the tinder Sheriff of that place, a gen- tleman of high character- and high in his profession, had said, " with respect to Thurtell and others, if the evidence published^ were correct, he would be on tent to hang* them without trial by a Jriry-, if the ! forms of the, country did not require it.? 1 If. a gentleman in the situation of the Under Sheriff could not shut the" doors of his mind against such impressions, what must be the effect or others, : whose iriinds, it must be presumed, were less disci- plined by reading and reflection, than that of, the gentleman he had named. , MtV PEATT and Mr. CHITTV follovyed on the same side. The letter gentleman; trnsted; that his Lordship would think,* that sufficient grounds had heen urged for postponing the tritil : was it not; horrible, to thjnk of the stories that had heen circulated rjbout, the prisoner John Tb. ijrtell<, about his seducingiwomen, going about- with?' a sword stick, art air - gun, & c.; could these things be . thought of, wi'ih patience^ when it - known; tliat ' the lives of dndividtml? were affected-? [ Mr- C-' s feelings were sor overcome, that he could With difficulty . proceed] He,, con Id not contemplate them without, the oid. st painful feelings. He made some further observations,; ynd trusted, that fi> r the sa'keof justfee,. as well- as humanity, the trial might be postponed. ; • >-. • The Cqunsel for the prisoners, in support of their ar^ uments^ cited several cageM in/ which postpone- ment of trial had ta- ken place. Mr.' GURNEY rose to- reply. He appeared there for no " party-*- he* appeared there for the CrovyUi He contended tha- tr ground - for delay had not been • adduced." Mr. Jay,/ when it w'as kiiown. that he really was the attarifey of « fohn Thiirtell, experienced : no obstnnriions. The ends of justice d'uf not require t'he'postponement of the trial.- He agreed iii . the ' opinion that justice should not merely be admin*, iater^ d, but' satisfactorily:' administered, fn allusion " 10 the' repres'eut/. ition at the Surrey Thent're, rhe said I he blushed for- an English audience, ihnt> they did not? drVve the; performers off tlve stage',' He thoright it- most fitting for bun to leave the decision of justice to his Lordship.-. - Jf he thoughnha^ t tiie prejudices still • existed, he worild postpone the: trial, hut, if not, of cooi^ e justice; would be adininistered with as great ; speed as- poRsjhle. . Mr. ATJDH'BWS replied, and expressed his satis-; facfion tit having the concurrence of liis Learned Friend to the measure of postponement. He asked fir a i fetv ' months, or anv, other period w'hich his. Lordship, is his lrtiinanity might think proper lo . av^ wvirit. s . Mr. Justice PARK, in delivering his opinion, spo'ke as follows This is a motion foniH] ed upon a . very dong affidavit,-. stating two groi'inds for the p'.^ tponement of this trial. . Upon the first— namely, that sufficient time has not bee n given the prisoner The prisoner has had more time is allowed i « g'erieijtl Jt to such cases; as we all know ( hat in the foulest murder that ever was committed [ that of Mr. PercevafJ- the death happened on Monday, and the execution of the culprit took place the Monday afterwards. . This affidavit also fails upon this ground j « another particular, inasmuch as it does iM> t stale that, there are any material witnesses whose attendance cannot be procured, or that there is any thing wanted which prevents the prisoner from, putting himself upon his trial. Unless there is something specific thus- stated, 1 cannot agree to the, application. Ais to the arguments addressed to me by the Learned Gentlemen, who appear for the prisoners, and soi very ablystated by them, I must say, that whatever the result of my present decision ntay be, the case, s refenij. il to do not apply. The law in the King and Fleet was- so obvious that no one who had read the most common law hook could mistake it. It was au application for ail informa- tion ajjaiust Ihe printer of a paper for publishing depositions with comments taken before a Coroner, and the Court felt itself bound to make the rule absolute against Iiim for so doing. But in. the King r » JolliS'e, the, K. ing J-. Briiv, arid the case wliich happened before, uiy Blo tier IJfjIi- oyd at Yot- k, weighty . as that decision is, in all, these cases I should say that the question mooted was iVerv un- like the present, for the. oti'ence of . publishing, so tar from being called into doubt, was brought home to some, of. the. parlies in th « cause., in the case of the King- c. JolJifle, the ctkiirge. was brought home to tlie„ prosecuior, and in the Kiiug.,;. Bray, to the defendant,. for an attempt to iiuiuence tlie public mind against the prosecutor. The case of the King and Mead was a ease still different from these ; for horrible as the publications were in that Case, yet. they were brought home to the prosecutors ; for it appears they had been distributing pnpers- agilinst the defendant, threatening Government as w jclsed — the Attorney- General as leagued with the de- fendant- and'the Judges as combined with both, in doing injustice by saving, the defendant, la fact, a more infamous easel never lend. All the publi- cations in that ease were traced to the prosecutors, for the defendant was. a party who had given evi- dence against H man in the Court of Exchequer, and was supported.. iu his defence by the . Govern- ment. The eineuiltstaiioes, therefore, of all theso cases di fie red from the presentfor in them a t one party knowingly published the evidence to ex- cite prejudice, nu- ainst the. other,;, As fo the very long affidavit . which has. been read in this, C, o. urt, I should say jnost undoubtedly, that i. n pne point of view ( I. mean it. not ott'eiisiyely to the Gentlemen concerned} it did not appear* to me a very wise measure to bring before- the Jury all the statements which had been miide upon the subject; for if * heir minds had been tainted a month ago, in- if tliev had never seen these statements bftfore ( for how ever widoly they circulate in Loudon and. Surrey, thev may not have come into this county), this* would have revived all those impressions' which, it was the, interest of all parties tp efface., - This is the first, time . that 1 have_ seenor1ieard. tlie. se ^ tatenients, but • I ' confess, th'at they are very much calculat- ed to produce impressions up'on a man's mind, which \ Vt present are not very desirable. I said yesterday— I'said to- day, and I repeat, it now; that nothing can be more disgraceful th'au these publi- cations. The Trial bv Jury is the great palladium of English liberty, and the wish touphold nud main- tain it iII its original purity Ought to Supersede every other consideration in the breasts of Englishmen. But if there is this pruriency in the public uiiyd — this appetite after something new, — if we are to lie here ^ ut. off andinte'rriipted in the discharge of our duty,, wbe- iiever the- Pr.- s » thinks proper to publish the depositions in a, ca'se, the ends of public justice will.. be, defeated. The expenses to this. county of adjourning a Commission, aud of these public prose- cutions, are enormous, and this is a consideration not to be overlooked. I see on the back of this in dictment no less tliu'n fifty- five witnesses'; hut God forbid that any expense or additional labour on im- part should operate, with nie. to treat the prisoners with jind, ne severity. I say- tor myself, that I have no appetite to try this Cause;, but nt the same time it is not from a wi.-. h lo throw the biii'den- upoiitother sholilders. After what has fallen from the Counsel for the prosecution, I shall feel . myself bound to adjourn the cause, - yet I shall not put it oil'to others from jiiyself. The difficulties, it is said, will not be thftiswne al the next Assizes as at, present, for the, piiUications will cease, and a new Jury will come in, . whose utiiwU will be free frdni preiudice. All 1 can do, and s-. vy is, that I hspe and, trust ( that those whose duty has placed them to Watch over the administration of justice of the country,, will use their strenuous exertions. 1 do not mean the parties themselves, but the higher authorities, to prevent in future this horrible delay of justice from taking;,, plttee. I - liafe snid Helay, because if. this objection had not been now made, I should not have put off this ( trial. to the next Assizes; for if ( he prisoners a're innocent, aud God grant they may, they ought'to be speedily delivered. For let lis consider what the objects were of issiiing those, ex- traordi nary Cohlinissi.- oiis- One of ihe Learned Counsel foj-' the prisoners has said, that if the ease had happened li months jigo, he would not'have had to niaku this application for postponing the trial, as the Assizes, would not! come on till March. BuJ this was not true, for Government at all times bine been in the habit of issuing ' Special, Commissions whenever circumstances happened ,, to render, them necessarv. I only hope a. nd trust that . something will lie done, and that the three evil Consequences of publication will be guarded against— name! y as injurious to the accused,, in a Way which 1 shall not mention— to the, accusers, as it makes the prisoners and their advisers acquainted with the evidence be- fore trial- rand to those concerned in the adminis- tration of justice, which I lament most, as it Jia » obliged me to pursue this course to- day, and which my Brother Holrovd took at York ; hut that justice should thus be retarded arid impeded, is not lo be tolerated. And I hope that tlios.- persons who have erred in this way, will bethink themselves of such conduct, by seeing the very serious injury they may do society, by persjst. ing'in"; thnt which pollutes the sources of public justice. I flow ( adjourn this case'to Tuesday, the fith of Janijary next, a* eight o'clock in lbs morning , and I wi'sh. the prisoners to understand, that I will listen to . tjo : further ap+ plications, unless some new matter arises which will make it imperative on me. j '.-. .... , Mr. AHl> suite now made an application to his Lordship, respecting the publication ofa part of tils dencc til . the ciise, . which drew, from him this adjditinnal observation : - , Mr. Justice PARK— I wish to say further. It has been said, that whatever passes in a Court b. f Justice is fit flatter for publication in a newspaper- but when an affidavit of such a nature as lias been read here to! day is produced in Court, ihe Counsel are, of opinion that It would be improper- to publish it, fill- it repeats all that had bee, n said before, a us!, is therefore cal ciliated, to do that mischief of Hrij. vious statements,. Wliicb we would avoid. I desj, re therefore that whatever, else is published, tbat'nffi. davit'may not get, into the newspapers ;, and 1 ritn sure tljaf I heed say no more, for humanity, kind- ness, and ' tenderness, for, the prisoners, I'take for granted, will induce all tliose- within the- sound of uiy voice, toflhstain froni giving- it publie'tv.*! The result of the application lo postpone the trial, did not produce , any visible effect upon the prisoners. Mr. GunMKY put in a short affidavit from Mr. Nie1iolsou,, the under- sheriff, denying ttie expres- sions attributed to him in ihe;'| d, ng affidavit of M « v » r » .

LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4. TIIE KING.— As announced in our last, His Majesty, on Monday, visited Drury Lane Theatre, where the performances were The Hypocrite, with Lore, Law, and Physic.—* On Wednesday, he went to Covent Garden Theatre, where the pieces enacted were The Cabinet and Timouv the Tar- far,— His Majesty's reception by the crowded audiences at each Theatre, as also by tbe populace in going and returning each night from and to his Pajaee, was of the most gratifying and loyal description. THE A'IMY.— Two regiments are to be imme- diately added to the line, and to be called the 94th and 95th. The object of raising them is to replace the force which it has been deemed expedient to send out as reinforcements to the West Indies. The recent augmentation of the three Veteran Battalions, aud these two regiments, will be sufli cieut to supply the amount of force thus withdrawn from the military establishments of the United Kingdom. COURT MAIITIAL.— A Court- Martial was held last week on board the Queen Charlotte, at Ports- mouth, to investigate charges made against Captain George Hanis, C. B. of the Hussar frigate, in which it was alleged that he had been guilty of disobedience of orders iu unnecessarily delaying the embarkation, aud sailing ou board his vessel, of Sir Edward Thornton, appointed to the Em- bassy at the Court of Lisbon.—- The result of this MEXICO-.— We some days ago noticed the arrival of Dr. Mack ay from Mexico, to which State it was asserted he bad been sent upon a special mission by our Government, and which the same report stated had been at tended with complete success. We have reason to believe, from information obtained through channels on. which we can rely, that these reports aie perfectly correct.; The Doctor, wc hear, has done his business, negotiating a commercial treaty with Mexico, in a most, complete and satisfactory manner, and upon a, basis that will prove, most satisfactory : and beneficial to our merchants.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, DEC. % THE KING: V. ROBERT JEFFRIES. This was an inquiry of very considerable import- ance to British manufacturers. The Solicitor- General stated, that this was an inforuiation under an Act of the late King, against the defendant, who occupied premises at No. 79, Lower Thames street, which rendered liable to seizuie achinery manufactured in this realm, which was unlawfully put on hoard a vessel, ship, or boat, or intended to be. put on board a vessel, ship, or boat, hich shall not be bound to souie port or place in Great Britain or Ireland." The charge again, st the defendant was, that he caused certain machinery, used. for the manufacture of cotton twist, to he made in. this country, and that; he liad shipped a. con^ ider- thle quantity of it to prance, and intended ip export other machinery ( which had been seized and con- demned, and of which lie should give evidence), to the same kingdom. The defendant had put in a plea of Not Guilty, and they ( the 4ury) had to try the, affirmative of the question. Ihey would see the necessity that existed for the protection of our trade, that British machinery should not be permitted to be exported to our rivals in manufactures and com- merce. He should be able, beyond all dispute, to prove that the machinery which had been seized was intended by the defendant to he ex ported to Frattce, and also that he had exported a considerable quantity of the same kind of machinery to that kingdom. He then proceeded to call his witnesses, who proved tbe case. The Jury gave a verdict for the Crown, and the machinery of several thousand pounds' value is for- feited. One of the machines was fixed up iu the' lower part of the Court, a most extensive piece of mechanism ; and was an object of considerable curi- osity throughout the day. GOD AN D MY COUNTRY.— The common ques- tion asked a criminal, viz. How he will, be tried? is improperly answered, says Barringion,; in his work, on the statutes, By God and my Country. It?, originally must have been By God or my Country— rlhat is, either by ordeal or by jury : for the question asked supposes an option in the prisoner, and the answer is meant to assert his iu- nycence?., by declining, neither sort of trial. & grimltur&.

OGY.— A^ n interesting paper, in the Ame ricap Philosophical Journal, by L. Bringier, Esq. of Louisiana, contains observations on the region of ( he Mississippi, and shews clearly how thousands of clear milCiS have been formed by the deposits of that river. The whole state of Louisiana is a country but just emerging froni the water ; and as the Mississippi is ascended, tfie hanks of the river gradually rise and again descend towards the sWamps. The Mississippi in all its alluvial region may he considered as a river running on the top of a hill 24 feet in its highest position, the base is 3 miles in its average diameter, and reposes on the swan\ ps, which are more than 9 feet, above the marshes, on the sea shore, for. a distance of 215 miles up the river. From all that has been explored of the Mississippi river, it is evident that what- has escaped over its banks in its overflowing never returns to it again. Hence some idea might, perhaps, be formed of the enormous beds of timber, leaves, and other substances spread over the plains by its waters, if it was but known, how longrthe Mississippi had heen floating them over the lower country. This inference might be grounded upon, the quantity constantly seen going into the AehafaSaya river, where several hundreds of miles are converted into solid rafts of wood, apd these disap- pear, every two or three years under beds of;. sand and : leaves, by which the bed of the Achafalaya is alter- nately removed four or five miles to the East, or two or three to the West, but mostly to the East, where itxhas gained more than ten- miles since it became an outlet of the Mississippi. Lest any should bear with incredulity of tbe enormous quantity, of wood spread over the country, inundated by the rjv. er, Achafalaya, which receives it from the Mississippi, Mr. B'rutg'ier observes, that he landed at the month of that river iu 1812,( the river itself is bjit a m. o nth- branch of the Mississippi), when it. was at its fullest, and he counted the large trees which were perpetually carried into its current in a given lime, and found them to amount to 8000 cubic feet a minute. To ihese may be added the leaves, hark, reeds, and muddy sediment, making on a moderate calculation 38 cubic miles of deposit annually.. The beds of drift wood at the bends' of the islands in the Mississippi will give some idea of tbe quantity of wood brought down the stream of that river. The lar » e raft at Red River is 60 miles in length, and in many places 15 in breadth, in some places composed of pines heaped together with their leaves into compact rafts. Hence mineral coal and bituminous bodies are, no doubt, formed. Under this raft numerous small streams disappear, aud shew themselves again several miles off. A vast portion of land is no doubt formed in this vyay, and that part of America is gradually rising to a higher level. These are curious'facts for Geologists, and the whole paper on this subject is well worth their perusal.

NEW YORK..— There were last year upwards of 500 deaths from -' consumption alone, and the greater number of victims were young females. The dress of tin: ladies is one obvious cause. In a bleak December day, if there is a slight glimpse of sunshine, you may see them walking Broadway in gossamer dresses of silks and gauze, with their .---'. . throats perfectly bare, in strong contrast with enquiry was the unqualified acquittal of Captain these fair daughters of the spring, the city sparks Harris, aud a declaration that the charges against | | oniljre along, enveloped in thick box coats, with bim were wholly void of foundation. His It appears by the latest accounts which Majesty's Government have received, that one French frigate, bearing an Admiral's . flag, two other frigates, and a brig of war, constitute the whole French naval force in the West Indies. On the 26th nit. a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of a Director, in the room of Charles 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. IVJasteruian was 1121; for Mr. Mnspratt 459. We learn by Calcutta Papers lhat Mr. Ravens- croft, lately collector at Cawnpore, who owing to embarrassments had quitted the Company's tcr- eight or ten capes, and roll after roll of cravats and silk handkerchiefs swathed under their chins. • Another custom prevails among the ladies no less pernicious. On Sabbath they may be seen picking their steps to church through drifting snow, in silk or cotton stockings, and shoes scarcely thicker than a cobweb; so far as I car> observe, a worsted stocking is to American ladies an unknown comfort.

DO MM ITT,' The Solicitor- General said this was an information against the defendant, a soap and tallow manufacturer at Deptford, and it charged him with having illegally manufactured soap aud candles iu various instances, bv which be had incurred penalties to tbe amount of £ 500. The Leartied Counsel called several witnesses, by whose evidence it appeared, that the defendant occu- pied premises for the manufacture of soap and candles iu Copperas- lane, Deptford. In December last, the officers of excise searched the premises, and after some time discovered that the ground in the cellar was soft, and appeared to have been newly dug; a spade was procured, and, after digging' about a spade deep, they came to some boards; ope of these they took on, and then descended iijto a; Caviiy of about nine feet square, containing two soap frames with about three hundred weight of yellow soap in each ; a pipe and funnel were also found - in'"-' a soapy state, and they were so formed that a communication could be made from the boiler to those frames^ so that the soap ii) its liquid state could run into the frames through the pipe and funnel. A piece of new brick- work was discovered in the side of the Cavity, which, when taken away, would admit a person to reach out the soap- frame-!. This bole communicated level with the stoke- hole of the sQap- boiler. The Jury foipnj a verdict for the Crown. REX pf THOMAS BEDFORD PYMM.

In the first count he stood charged, k4 that he, being a paper manu- facturer, did unlawfully use a label, or stamp, on a certain ream of paper, other than that on which it was originally placed ;" the second count, " that he used a Wrapper on certain paper, other, than'that in which it was originally w rapped ;" . and in the third count, ^ that he sent out certain reams of paper, without paying the duty for the same. 7'-— The penal- ties sought to be recovered from the defendaut, amounted to between one and two hundred thousand pounds! r- Verdict fur the Crown. Discoveries aloiuj the Red Sea, $ c. James Burton, jun. Esq. who has been for some time past employed by the Pacha of Egypt in a geological examination of that Prince's dominions, has made s^ ome interesting discoveries in the Eastern Desert of the Nile, and along the Coast of the Red Sea— a tract of country hitherto unexplored hy Europeans. In the Eastern Desert, and in the parallel of Essiout, is Gebel Dokkam, a mountain, fhe name of which in Arabic signifies Smoke Mountain. As ihe nam. es of natural objects are every where apt to be derived from some distinctive character, it occurred tof Mr. Burton that forges or smelting works might have beenbuee established there. With a view to determine this question, he pro- ceeded to the place, and, though he did not find a mineral lode, soon saw enough to convince him that there had been amine in the neighbourhood At Belet Keby. e, a ruinous village, situated in a valley on the Siou. th" side of the mountain, he found a circu- lar shaft, 20 feet in diameter, the walls having fallen in, its original depth is uncertain— its present depth is 60 feet. At the edge of this shaft are long inclined troughs, stuccoed on both sides, and constructed too nicely and expensively to have been intended as driukingip'aees for cattle : they have apertures at one end for the escape of water, and agree with troughs which Dioscorides describes as having been used in washing and soi ting the. ores, except in being made not of- wood-, but of stone. These troughs are not llie only symptoms of a mine having formerly been worked ' bere. The . same village contains a beautiful little loi^ ic temple, on the pedintent of Which is the following inscription : For the safety aiid eternal victory of our Lord Cs^ sar, absolute, august, and of all his house, to the sun, great Serapis, aud the co4enshriued Deities, this Temple, and all its appurtenances, Epaphroditus ......... of Csesar , Governor of Egypt. Marcus Ulpius Chresimbs, superintendant of the mines under Pro col nanus." The most interesting feature of tl\ is mountain still remains to be described. Gebel Dokkam is zig- zagged to the tqp hy expensively constructed roads and pathways, which branch off to large quarries of tbe antique red porphyry, large blocks of which are lying about roughly chissfled, squared, and on supports marked with enchorial characters, and numbered. When there was a natural crack in the stone, the holes drilled. by the workmen generally follow; its. direction, and in one instance small stones have been rammed into a fissure of this kind by way of a wedge. There are also to be seen here un finished sarcophagi aud vases, columns of large; diameter, a vast number qf ruinous huts, and r^ nains of forges. ' Ou the only road which leqds into this vallpv, and at the distance of about four miles to the North of Belet Kebye, is a large dilapidated structure, called Derr Amiesser. The prefix Derr implies that, it was a monastery'; hut though this building mav at one period have heen inhabited by Monks, Mr. Burton is of opinion that it was originally intended either as a barrack for troops, or as the residence of the snper- in. tendapt of the adjacent mines arid quarries, parti- cularly as there is no natural supply of water iu the neighbourhood, and Government, only would go to . the expense of Constructing an artificial one. He also remarks, that ipost of the Convents about Wadi Haifa are on the site of Roman towns or stations. Considersjbly to the South of this, about the parallel of Ejfmim, and about half way between the Nile and tlie Sea, Mr. Burton has found another Roman station hitherto unnoticed, which is now called Fitteiry : from the inscriptions thpre it would appear that its antient name was Mons Glaudiapus, Among other ruirjs are found the columns of a large temple of grey granite. The quarries in the neigh bourhood furnished a peculiar kind of Gneiss, not unfrequent at Rome. The Words UNDREUMA EUTU- GHESTATON TRAIANON DAKIKON excite a hope in the mind of a traveller that there is a spring at no great distance ; but the nearest place from which water can now be obtained there, is five miles oft' towards the sea, away from the great " track called Amuri a Massa. Mr. Burton has collected a great number of inscriptions at Fitteiry, among which is the followin fragment: * K ANN. XII. IMP. NERVAE TRAIANO CAESAR1 AUG. GERMANICO DACICO JP. I. R. S0LPICIUM SIMIIJM PRAEF. AEG." The quarries of verd antique, between Qhene and Cosseir, have also stipplied him with a vast number of inscriptions, which are rendered interesting, aud may probably become very useful, from the inter- mixture of Greek with hieroglyphies. llroMnm! am JWteceUan^ oiie^ At the present moment the seats of the cotton manufacture are in a state of the greatest activity, and the manufacturers and other capitalists, con- cerned in this important branch of the national . industry are progressively advancing in prosperity The population in Lancashire, Lanarkshire, Ren. frewshir^ & c. has also increased, and is increasing, with surprising rapidity,, whilst the progress of machinery and science is daily enlarging the prodigious, productive power,— 141 addition to the numerous mills recently erected.,, new works con taming 750,000 spindles, are contracted for be finished next September.

OUTRAGES IN 1REI, AND.— Within a few miles of Athlone, on Friday night, two small parties of Major Wills'police fell in with nearly 100 Ribbon- men ; when firing commenced on both sides, two ofthe Ribbon men were killed, and one armed, with a pike was taken prisoner. On Sunday night, large stack of oats, the property of a person named Narian, was set fire to at Ballyandrew, within a quarter of a mile of Doneraile. The house of one Green, near Butt. evani, was also attacked by large armed party, and he was dreadfully beaten his thigh, broken, and one of his eyes knocked out Two men named Lyons and Vallens, keepers ou the lands of Tully, county of Limerick, were mur dered on Wednesday night. ATTACK ON THE CORK AND DUBLIN' MAIL.— On Friday night ( 21st ult.), about eight o'clock, desperate attack was made on the coach from Dub. Jin to this city, VIA Cashel, which, we are ! » apu; to say, has not been attended with fhe loss of uie though the passengers, guard, " and coachman, were in imminent dang- er, and narrowly escaped. The coach was going at its usual rate, with tbe Hon. Captain Browne, and a female, who appeared to be a servant, inside, and that gentleman's body- servant, with the coachman and guard, outside: the night was very dark, and the coach lamps were burning clear, when they approached within five miles of Cashel, in a part of the road cut through a bog • four shots were fired together at them from behind the ditch at one side of the road, which was immediately returned by the guard with one of his pistols, and the coachman, who was only a short time on the road, put- the horses at full speed, but this proved of no effect, for the road was impeded with cars, large stones, & c and the coachman, & c. to save themselves, were obliged to turn the horses to the side of the ditch, where the coach goi fast, and another volley was fired by the guard- with his second pistol. TheCaptain's servant jumped down and opened the door for his master, who made off, as did the guard with the mail; the coachman and the female in like manner: the former to, obtain assistance. During- this time the fire from, the attacking party was not repeated, but, on the contrary, they made off, which it is conjectured was occasioned by a supposition on their part, that when the. coach drew up, it was with the intention, of offering resistance. Capt. Browne made through the bog- to Grange turnpike, where he detailed the occurrence, and left directions should the coach reach there, that he was safe, and repaired to the: house of a Mr. Mills, a short distance off. The coachman hastened to some houses into which he got with difficulty, and about 12 men were pro- cijrpd, who went back, where the coach was found as they left it. The guard, who hid himself with the mail in a bog, and the servant, who was also concealed in another part, came up, and, by their combined efforts, removed all the impediments, and proceeded on to Cashel, where they arrived four hours later than usual, and where, on exa- mination, they found two shots had struck near the boot; but the coach, being shot- proof, they did not filter.— Cork Constitution. ROBEERIE? IN AND NEAR BIRMINGHAM. On Tuesday night the dwelling . house of M Brooke, in Monument- lane, was entered, and some articles of wearing apparel, a piece of plate, and some wine were carried off,— On the night of Thursday Mr. I£ el! and? s house, at Lady Wood, was also - entered* and several pieces of plate and other articles were stolen ; and on the following night the dwelling bouse of Mr. David Moore, watch- maker, in CarrVJane, was broken into, and the depredators succeeded in obtaining several watches and time- pieces. It is a little singular that the villains in this case first procured a ladder from tbe yard of the public- oflicc, with which they introduced themselves into the back part of the premises. In orie of the instances we mention, the house was full of visitors, who had retired to rest, and so skilful were the robbers that they accom- plished their. object without disturbing the inmates. — On the night of Sunday, the 16th, the dwelling house of Henry Hunt, Esq. at West Bromwich, was broken open, and a large quantity of plate and other articles carried off. DUBLIN, NOV. 27.—- Yesterday, the 101 h Hus- sars were reviewed in the Phoenix Park, by the Marquis of Londonderry, the Colonel- in- Cbief of1 that fine regiment. The Marchioness of London- derry, clad in a superb blue riding habit, wearing ' the military pelisse, the same as worn by the Officers, richly embroidered with gold lace, and a hussar fur cap, rode at the bead of the regiment,, between the Noble Marquis, her husband, and.

The review took place iu the Fifteen Acres. Sir Colquhoun Grant was- present. The Marchioness excited Ihe greatest admiration as she passed and re passed through the City — Tin re were a great number of equipages on the ground, and the day proved particularly favour- able. fJhree young, men, whose appearance would have led us to expect them incapable, of such disgraceful conduct, were, a. few days since, convicted before the city Magistrates of wilfully breaking one of the street lamps, and tor which they were jointly adjudged to pay two guineas, ( the mitigated penally for the ofl'ence), treble the value of Ihe lamp, and the expenses of the conviction, amount- ing in Ihe whole to £- 3. 19s. 6d.

Shaks pea re's Macbeth, Ihe Register Cffice, anil Ihe grand pantomime of William Tell, got up at great expense, with a respectable and respected company, were advertised; for Ihe benefit of a lady, and gentleman who have sustained a leading line throughout the season.

Lock wood, near Hud- dcrsfield, on the body of a man who lost his life under the following most extraordinary circum- stances. In order to ascertain whether there was. any charge in an old gun, he requested liis friend- to hold a lighted candle to tbe touch- hole, while he placed his mouth to tbe piece and blew down .. the muzzle! The consequence w^ as,. that- the gun, being charged, went off, and killed the experi- menter, on the spot.— Leeds Mercury. On the 22d- instant, several boys, from twelve to. sixteen years' old, assembled together iu the town- ship of Newihorpf, in the parish Of Greasley, and made a collection for the purpose of purchasing gunpowder, lo fire off from an old pistol barrel- ( or pop gun), without either stock or lock. After loading the piece at random from the paper of powder, and ramming down paper, they put \\\ several slugs of lead, and more paper, when Esdi as Meakin, a, youth in his sixteenth year, held the piece in his left hand, and with his right hand pplied a fire stick to the powder on the touch hole; the piece exploded,. when the foice of the powder caused it to recoil upon the youth, and the, muzzle of the piece entering bis mouth, knocked out several of his teeth, fractured his jaw- bone^ and otherwise lacerated and injured him to such a degree, as to occasion his death on the day but one following. On the 25th, an inquest was held on, view of the body, before Thomas Wright, Gent, one of the Coroners for the county of Nottingham,, when a verdict of " casual death" was returned by the Jury.— Nottingham Journal. Dempster, the unfortunate man who swallowed the knife, continues in a desponding state of mind, and is rattier worse in bodily health, . though he has hitherto fell no acute pain. Some medical men think he may live several years; but it ir. probable that mental anxiety will alone terminate his existence in a much shorter period — Carlisle Patriot„ On Tuesday last, as a young, woman of the name of Marv j^ eckett was on her way from her home at Wraghy, to Halifax., where she was. engaged as a. ^ servant, being fatigued, she called for refresh ment at I he George and Dragon Inn, in Dewshury. A short time afterwards, a young butcher of the name of George Birch came in, clapped her upon the shoulder, and said, " this young woman will make me a good housekeeper.' 7 The damsel,, nothing loath, assented to the observation. A serious conversation ensued, which ended in Ihe. procuring of a license, and the enamoured pair Were married the next morning, to the grea^ entertainment of a very numerous pavrly of, at- tendants. BANK ROBBERIES —( From, ihe Liverpool Mercury. J— It has been ascertained, that, the villains who attempted the. robbery of Messrs. Samuel Hope, and Co. hankers, of this town, bad been on the, premises for several nights prior to . their last effort lhat they had, hy impressions, or otherwise, procured; keys to open the outer locks, and, having closed these*, doors, had proceeded to the inner securities, always, taking care to leave the drawers and locks closed, without any appearance of violence. Two of the doors' had each two locks on, and soine of them paten % ones, and particularly strong and good of their kind. It was only on occasion of their hist visit, when they found themselves baffled by the unusual precautions, taken for the security of the property, that the strong; lock of the iron book- tfase, within the large iron safe, was left spoiled, and that two drawers, in one of the desks were forced. A number of papers had been carefully examined, and, amongst others, all Jhe Checks which had heen honoured for she. four pre- ceding days, aud cancelled, were taken,— The whole procedure shews a systematic mode of iwvadtng^ property, which behoves those who rely only dt » locks and bolts to look well to themselves. attempt was recently made on a bank iu tlie ne^ iy- bourhood of London, which. proceeded so far, that the parties had obtained access to tbe more valuable books and papers, and even extracted the particulars pf the cash on hand for several preceding days.. These particulars were regularly communicated to Vickerv, the Bow- street officer, by one of the gang, an approver ; and the officer, immediately wrote to put the hankers on ' their guard . The, bankers at first treated the matter, very- lightly, and said they would defy, with their locks and, fastnesses, any attempt that might be made; but on the officer informing' them the amounts of the cash they had on hand on certain days, they saw their danger, and took proper steps to secure themselves. The late lamented Dr. Baillie was allowed to be the most attentive man to his patients in the pro- fession; but nothing annoyed him so much as to be sent for to attend tri£ U, s or fancied illness. He was called very late one evening to attend Lady H ~—- : he immediately ; repaired lo the house, and found Ihe lady in apparently good health. The Doctor, however, prescribed a gentle opiate, evidently endeavouring to conceal his chagrin, and then made his retreat; but had scarcely reached the bottom of the stairs, when Miss H called from above, " Dr. Baillie, pray may mamma eat oysters for supper?" " Oh dear, yes, miss," was the reply, " shells and al), if she pieases."
