In the course of the debate Mr. Feci proposed that, in lieu of tiie sacramental test, a declaration should be made and mibscrilxd by all persons accepting certain ofiiets, to the effort that they would not exert the power and influence ot their office to* injure or subvert the Established Church ; that no penalty should attach to the neglert of this declara- tion, but simply the avoidance or loss of office, and the nul- lity of all acts in it. Mr. Peel distinctly intimated' that were this declaration accepted by l. oid Johu Russell; he would give his aid to effect the pacing of the bill. Lord John flussell wished that in the first instance the Cowimittee s'nonld'adopt the proposition of the lUght Hon. Secretary wholly and entirely ; and when the bill was printed it might be considered as a " perfectly open question, HOUSE OK LORDS— THURSDAY. The Duke of Wellington gave notice that he should on Friday the 28th inst. move tor. certain Corn Returns, and would then take the opportunity of stating to the house the nature of the measure respecting the Corn- Laws, which tt was the intention of the government to propose. The Marquis of Lunsdowne, in presenting a number of petitions against the Test and Corporation Acts, stated his willingness to agree to the declaration proposed in the House of Commons by the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department, in order that others might be induced to advo- cate ihe measure. Viscount Dudley, in reply to Lord Strangford, said, the latest intelligence received afforded better prospects of a speedy pence between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, than he had entertained before, though for the fuifilmnnt of such hopes he could mt positively answer; and secondly, that orders had been sent to the Admiral on that station to punish privateers bearing the flag of any of the belligerents which were not actually vessels of Buenos Ayres or Brazil; and that whenever the legal authorities of this country shoufU pronounce the blockade of Buenos Ayres to be a paper WocYiatte, it wouUV be immediately broken up. The answers appeared to be satisfactory to the Noble inquirer. HOUSE OF COMMONS— THURSDAY. Mr. WOLRYCHB WaiTMOuF, moved that the Salmon Fisheries Biil be re- committed - - Sir G HiLU was opposed to th « Bill, and moved, as an amendment,. thaL the Bill be le- commltted that day six months.- - The House divided on the motion- For it 2.3, against it 32; majority against the Bill 9. -.- The Bill is therefore lost, for the piesent Session. HOUSL OK COMMONS - FRIDAY. A long debate took place on the motion for transferring the elective franchise from the borough of East Jiettord to the town of Birmingham.— Mr. Secretary Peel proposed extend- ing the franchise to- the neighbouring hundred ot the borough, and made a very able. speech on the occasion. He was willing to divide the franchises of East Retford and Fenryu between the agricultural and manufacturing interests; and proposed in the first instance that the franchise of the former should be extended to the neighbouring hundred; while it remained for future consideration whether that of Penrvn should be transferred to Birmingham or to Manchester.— On a division, the amendment for extending the right of voting to the Hundreds of Retford, instead ot transferring it to Birming. ham, was carried by a majority of 30; the numbers being 157 to 121.

SHROPSHIRE LENT ASSIZE. COXCLDDED FROM 4TII PAGE. NISFPRIUS. - SAUNDERS t;. GREEN. The plaintiff, in this case had been employed to get and burn lime- stone for the defendant, in the parish of Alveiey : and the- Only question at issue was, whether the defendant had contracted to pay the plaintiff' 7s. or 8s. per load for his labour.— The" Jury returned' 1, a verdict for plaintiff, thereby deciding- that the contract was at 8s. per load. Shooting a Bog. ROBINSON u. MULLINER. The plaintiff, Mr. John Robinson, is proprietor of a farm at Coole Lane, on the borders of Cheshire, and the defendant Mr. Peter Mulliner is the tenant of an adjoining farm.— Mr. Robinson's teiiant, Mr. Parker, was in the habit of keeping a greyhound for him ; and the present action was brought against the defendant for wantonly shooting- a greyhound, narn^ d Brandy, the . property of the plaintiff, in September last. It appeared from the evidence of John and Richard Parker, the sons of Mr. Robinson's tenaut, that Brandy had been reared at their father's house from a puppy; that, although but 15 mouths old when shot, he had several mouths preceding distinguished himself by his 44 very grand" performances at the coursing meetings in the lordship of Combermere, and had actually in one run beaten two noted old grey- hounds of that celebrated sportsman, Dr. Bellyse. It also appeared that Hector and Fly, the sire and dam of Brandy, were dogs most famous in their generation, of a celebrated stock ( Mr. Embrey's), aud unrivalled in their performances: Brandy was, therefore, thoroughly well- bred. And it was clearly proved by Richard Parker, that defendant had shot the unoffend- ing- animal when gambolling over a piece of land that was not even in the defendant's occupation. Robert Nicolls, Esq. a gentleman of fortune, who keeps a pack of harriers near Oswestry, was then examined as to the value of . the dog; and he stated, that, from the evidence he had heard, he should think the dog- was worth £ 10. — The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff for that sum. THE KING v. JOHN RICHARDS AND OTHERS 111 is was an indictment against four inhabitants of the town of Wem, for a riot, assault, and nuisance, in making a bonfire in the public street of Wem, opposite the dwelling house of Mr. Thomas Ireland, draper, contrary to the orders of the Magistrates, in defiance1 of the remonstrances of Mr. Ireland, to the great danger of the adjacent premises, and to the obstruction . of the public thoroughfare, and by their other disorderly proceedings on that occasion. The case had been removed by certiorari out of the jurisdiction of the Quarter Sessions : and from the evidence of Mr, Ireland ( the prosecutor) and others, it appeared that a great concourse of people had assembled tumultuously on the occasion, firing guns, throwing lighted torches and fire- works about, assaulting- Mr. Ireland and several other persons, and breaking Mr. Ireland's windows, because he had been active in his endeavours to prevent the bonfire being- made.— A few witnesses only were examined, when the Learned Judge said, he conceived it would be impossible for the defendants to justify their conduct. there could be no harm in people making" a bonfire on such occasions in sonie place where no danger could accrue ; but liimserfaim the other Judges were determined to put down the nuisances created by making: bonfires in the public streets. The counsel for the defendants admitted that they could not justify their clients, who were willing- to plead Guilty, to express their contrition, and to enter into their recognizances to abide jndgment if they offended in future. The counsel for tlie prosecution thought the defendants ought to pay all the expenses of the prosecution also: but the defendants' counsel nrgfd the total inability of their clients, and the fact of the prosecutor having- removed the case by certiorari. The defendants then pleaded guilty, and entered into recog- nizauces : the Judge intimating- that he did not expect thev would be called up for judg- tiient. " BOROUGH t>. GAUNT. This action was tried before a Special Jury of the following gentlemen. Robert Burton, jun. Esq. John Marston, Esq. Thomas Dicken, Esq. George Oldburv, Esq. John Ravenshaw, Esq. Henry Diggory Warter, Esq. John Groome Smythe, Esq. Richard Abbeifey, Esq. William Bradburne 1 Charles Cross f ~ , William Falkener VTi' 1<, s'" f" John Menlove j The plaintiff, Thomas Borough, Esq. is a gentleman of extensive lauded property, residing at Chetwynd Park, in this county; the defendant, Mr. Samuel Gaunt, is a farmer, who, from February, 1822, down to l'ebruary last, rented a farm of the plaintiff, called Deep Dale, iu the parish of Chetwynd, at au annual rent of £ 174. 8s. ( id.; and the present action was brought against the defendant for alleged breach of covenant.— The facts of the case are as follow. Mr. Samuel Bell, land- agent of the plaintiff, deposed that in 1820, there had been a negotiation about the letting of Deep Dale farm to the defendant, but it had been staved in consequence of the then tenant not having had suffie'reient notice and refusing to quit. In the neXi^ ear the uegociation was revived, and in July or August,- kljei witness with the defendant and a Mr. Done went ovt^ ihe farm : witness then told him that the farm was worth 25s. per acre ; that, although they had not seen much game that day there was a great deal on the farm; and that the rent would therefore be put at 20s. per acre, but that no further allowance would be made on account of the injury done by the game. Witness told defendant that the mode of. farming would be the usual four- crop course ; but that the defendant must engage to preserve the game for the use of Mr. Borough, who was most particular on this point ; that he must not destroy it himself nor permit others to do so ; that be must warn off all trespassers, and prosecute offenders, if neces- sary, at Mr. Borough's expense; that, iu short, the game must be strictly preserved bv him, for the use of Mr. Borough, and that none but that gentleman his servants, aud friends were to sport on the farm. This verbal agreement, Mr. Bell said, was the final agree- ment for the letting of ihe farm, but it was not reduced to writing : the defendant acceded to it, and his friend Mr. Done said be was afraid of nothing about the farm, excepting the g^ aine. It appeared further, from the plaintiff's witnesses, that down to the commencement of the year 1827, the defendant had strictly preserved the game for Mr. Borough's use; but at that period, notwithstanding three allowances of 25 per cent, on his rent, on account of the badness of the times, he had become more than £ 300 in arrear to his landlord, having paid but two whole half- year's rents during the period of his having occupied the farm. He was inconsequence distrained upon in the early part of the year for the arrears, and his effects were sold ; and after this, lie gave Mr. Borough and his gamekeepers notice not to come upon the farm in his occupation either to sport or under any other pretence: Mr. Bell, to avoid a law- suit, and to prevent the game being destroyed, offered the plaintiff £ 80 to preserve the game as usual for Mr. Borough during the remainder of his tenancy, but this offer to be without prejudice : the defendant, however, persisted iu the course pointed out in the notice he had addressed to his landlord : he permitted persons w ho were staying at his house to go and shoot the game on various occasions, and accompanied them in their sporting excursions: aud on one occasion, meeting with the plaintiff's gamekeeper on the land, he put him off the farm. TO COVER, THIS SEASON, YOUNG The Property of Mr. EDWARD BAYLEY, of Edgerley, at £ 2. 2*. and 2s. ( id. the Groom, ( the Groom's Fee to be paid at the Time of Covering.) \ TOUNG SIR OLIVER will Travel the same Route as the last Season, lie is allow, d by the best Judges to get as valuable a Stock as any Horse iu the Kingdom, It appeared from the evidence of William Maegregor and Samuel Griffiths;, the plaintiff's gamekeepers, that, some of the best of Mr. Borough's preserves were upon and adjoining the Deep Dale farm ; and that, on" various occasions,; fi'om the commencement of the last shoojing season up to* the. middle of December, Mr. A. ITiut- andforher persons had been permitted by the ^ fet^ dan't to . shoot the game of all descriptions on the rfarm, and that the plaintiff was at various times seen by theln in'company with the persons sporting. From the testimony of Mr. Bell, it appeared that all Mir, Borough's tenants held their farms from him upon condition of strictly preserving the game for their landlord. On the part of the defendant, eight letters addressed by Mr. Bell to the defendant on the subject of taking Deep Dale farm were put in evidence : of these ( 5 were written prior to the July or August, 1821 : but the other two were written respectively on the 2d of December, 1821, and on the 8th of January, 1822. Mr. James. Allen was then called, and he slated, that, about the middle of December, 1821, he and Mr. Done accompanied the defendant to the house of Mr. Bell, for the purpose of taking Deep Dale farm : that Mr. Bell proposed that the rent should be 20s. per acre, to which the. defendant objected, as being too much ; but on Mr. Bell saying, that if the farm would not answer at. 20s. per acre, he would lower it even down, to 10s. if necessary, the defendant then agreed to take the farm. Witness said, that not a word was mentioned on tliis occasion about the game. Mr. Done was then called.— His deposition as to what occurred at Mr. Bell's, w hen he and Mr. Alien accompanied, the defendant to that gentleman's house in December, 1821, corresponded precisely with the testimony of Mr.. Bell .— He also stated that when he walked over Deep Dale farm with Mr. Bell and the defendant about August, 1821, he was with them durii/ g-' t; he w h() le period, and not one word was said about the game. The Learned Judge, in summing up the case to the Jury, said, the only question was, whether there had or had not been a veibal contract entered into by the defendant to preserve the game for Mr. Borough, as stated by Mr. Bell. — Mr. Bell had stated that the final agreement for letting the farm to defendant had taken pjnee iu July or August, 1821 ; but he thought, when he saw Mr. Bell's letters dated December 1821, and January 1822, there might be some misappre- hension in this j and then again there was the testimony of Mr, Allen and Mr. Done. Gentlemen residing in the country were usually in the habit of reserviijj^ the . game on their estates to themselves ; but he must leave it to the Jury to reconcile, if thev could, the conflicting testimony of ' his case. The. Jury, after consulting a short time, returned a verdict for ihe defendant. Counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Taunton, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Richards: for- defendant, Mr. Sergeant RusseTl and 1) 1 r.

Richard Abberley, Esq. George Oldburv, Esq, Farmer Taylor, Esq. George Arkinstall William HeighVvay J Thomas Bradney v Talesmen William hidings f James Mack night j This cause, although ( from the great mass of docu- mentary evidence produced iu support of the plaintiff's cause) it necessarily occupied the attention of the Court and Jury for many hours oil Monday, is one which may be very concisely stated ; the excellent manner in which it was conducted on the part of the plaintiffs, and the irrefragible nature of the evidence produced in their behalf, being such as to leave but one opinion oil the case submitted to the Court. Thomas Wolley, Esq at that period the proprietor of Wo. odhall, and who died in the y ear 17' 25, had, by his wife Elizabeth Howells, 12 children, of whom 6 sons and 2 daughters were shewn to have been living in the year 1679.— The sons then living were Thomas, George, Witfiam, Richard, John, and Edward, the youngest erf whom was then 18, and by a deed of settlement then made, the estates of their father were settled upon them and their heirs male, iu strict entail, according to the priority of their birth, with remainders over to their heirs female iu like manner, and with ultimate remainder to the right heir of the said Thomas Wolley, the father. Mr. Wolley dying in 1725, was succeeded by his eldest sou Thomas, who was succeeded by his only surviving child Richard, who dying in 17G3 was suc- ceeded by his eldest son Thomas, and leaving also a younger son, Mr. Philip Wolley. The latter gentleman died a " bachelor in 1782, in the lifetime. of his elder brother, Thomas Wolley, Esq. who married Miss Judith Clive, of Stycbe ( aunt to the pre- sent Earl ofPowis) ; aiuHie having no issue, it appeared from tiie testimony given by a most respectable lady, aged 80. ( Mrs. Elizabeth Davies, of Drayton), thai, after bis brother Philip's death, he expressed much concern as to who was to become heir to his estates, aud much wished for one in the male line. He in- formed Mrs. Da vies that he had adveitised in the London Papers, in order to give any personan oppor- tunity of coming forward to shew that he was a Wolley of tlie same stork ; that he had many applications, hot the parties were all spurious; and he also mentioned foJu- r that one Thomas Wolley, formerly a baker and brewer at the Shrewsbury Hoii* e of Industry, the father of * he frvese- nt defendant Richard WoMey, had been iiafi/ dit^ d trV him upon the subject ; but he was not of the same Stock, but of quite a different family. Mrs. Dnvies saiit' she perfectly well knew from Mr. and Mrs. Wolley's conversations, Ithat Mr. Wolley had some female relations, named Wolley, at Worcester, and that, as Mr. Wolley speut his winters in London and his summers at Drayton, be always came through Worcester and called upon them when he came down into Shropshire: that there was a constant interchange of civilities between Mr. and Mrs. Wolley and the ladies in Worcester; and that, as the hisses Wolley, of Worcester, were not iu affluent ciicumstances, lie occasionally made thein presents of sums of money. In - 1799, Thomas Wolley, Esq. di<: d, having by his will left a specific legacy of £ 500 to Miss Fruaces Wolley; of Worcester. And, with the exception of Mrs. Judith Wolley, his wiVe, there is no other person of the name of Wolley mentioned in that will. By this will also Mr. Woiley devised all the family estates to his wife for her life, with remainder to his right heir. We must now return to Thomas Wolley, Esq. who did in 1725. — His third sou William, above- mentioned, was a grocer in Shrewsbury ; his sixth son, Edward, was a bookseller in Worcester ; Edward died at Worcester in 1742, leaving a son Tboniss, aud three daughters. Mr. William Wolley had married early in lire, but, his wife and his two daughters dying, he remained a widower till his death iu 1745, when, having: no issue, he left ail the property he pos- sessed, ( with the exception of trifling remembrances for the family of his eldest and wealthy brother Thomas j to the widow and children of his brother the line of his eldest brother Thomas and his yountrest hio. iher Edward ; nor in any of the wills " or oilier documents produced subsequent lo the year i697, is there the slightest allusion to the existence or death of eillier of tlie other brotheis, George, Richard,, and vJohn, or to any descendant of either of them ( if such there ever were). Thomas Wolley, son of Edward, followed his father's trade Of a bookseller, in - Worcester ; lie died, however, at the age ot 27, leaving by his wife Fanny . Perfect, an only child named Frances. Miss Frances Wolley was born in 1746, and from her childhood was much afflicted, being almost deaf, and nearly blind ; but as far as intellect was. concerned, it was proved she was to the period of her death, fuHy competent' to do any testamentary or other act to which she might he disposed.— After her father's death, her two surviving aunts, Elinor and Margaret carried on the bookselling business on their own account, and Frances lived" wilh them. Margaret Wolley died in ] 79(>, and her sister Elinor in 1794; down to which period, it was proved, by the production of a, series of letters in his hand- writing, there had been a continued interchange of affectionate correspondence between Thomas Wolley, Esq. the last, possessor of Woodhall, and the Misses Wolley, of Worcester, and Mr. Wolley in his letters transmitted the compliments of himself. and Mrs. Wolley to his " cousin Francis."— A most humourous lei ? er was also read, addressed by the. lute Mr. Philip Wolley to his cousin in Worcester* After the death of Miss Elinor Wolley, in 1794, Miss Frances Wolley lived- for some period with a Mrs. Per- i- ins, and from thence she went to reside with Mr. and M rs. Oldnall, the present plaintiffs, to whom she was related on the moi herVside; Mr. Wolley having died; and left her £ 500 as above- mentioned in 1799, there can be no doubt she knew the estate was aiso left in reversion to the right heir. And in 1800, she duly executed her last will and testament, bequeathing every thing she possessed, real and personal, lo M is. Oldnall, for the at- tention and kindiiess she had receded during her resi- dence in their house. Under this Will the plaintiffs claimed, and having proved iu detail the facts above staled, they left their case to the decision of the Jury. Mr. Campbell addressed the Jury for the defend- ants, principally insisting, t hat before Frances Wolley could be said to be the heir- at- law of the late Thomas Wolley, Esq the plaintiff must distinct I jr. * liew that there were no issue in. existence of George, Kichard, and John, the elder brothers of Edward Wolley, of Worcester.— lie called no evidence, as it. lav on the plaintiffs to make out a case against all the'wo. ld," The Learned Judge summed up with great precision, and in noticing Mr. Campbell's principal objection, intimated that it might he presumed George, Richard, and John had died without issue, from there being no mention of them, subsequent to the year 1697, iu any of the wills or documents produced. The Jury instantly returned a verdict for plaintiffs. Counsel, for plaintiffs, Mr. Taunton, Mr. Sergeant Russell, and Mr. Curwood ; attorney, Mr. Hyde, of Worcester. Counsel for defendant, Messrs. Campbell, Richards, and Wha'eley ; attorney, Mr. Comberbach. [ Mr. Deakin, one of the- defendants, is ihe tenant of ihe Woodludl farm ; and that is the only reason why he appears in the case, he having very wisely refused to pay any rent since the death of the late Thomas Wolley, Esq. being determined, before he did do so, to have a previous knowledge of the title of the party claiming to be his landlord. Mr. Oldnall, the fortunate plaintiff, is a most respect- able w holesale and retail ironmonger aud general mer- chant in Worcester ] The EAR L of SHREWSBURY, & c. » . PICKERING. This was a case, the detail of w hich would commence with the reign of Richard II at which early period the noble family of Talbot first became connected with the manor of W rock ward ine, in this county.— The question at issue was shortly this, whether the noble plaintiff was or was not the proprietor of one undivided third part of a tract of land called Wrockwnrditie Wood$ iu this county ; another third part being the property of the Right Hon. Lord Berwick, and the remaining third the property of such persons as had lands in the manor.-- The defendant, Mr. Pickering, aud his ancestors for about 140 years past, had possessed an . undivided third part of about 80 acres on Wrockwardine Wood, pay ing an annual rent for one- third of it to the Earls of Shrewsbury, and for the ptber third to Lord Berwick and his predecessors; the defendant himself having paid this annual rent to both parlies; but having recently declined to do so, and set up a claim to the entirety of the premises, subject to a quit- rent merely, the present action was brought.—• The cause came on immediately after the termination of that « > f Olduall i;. Deakin and Wolley, oil Monday after- noon.— The plaintiff's case occupied the Court until 12 o'clock that night ; and the defendant's case occupied the. Court. for several hours yesterday.— The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. The other cases in which the same Noble Earl is plaintiff, were made feinanets, CROWN BAR. WILLIAM JONES was next tried for breaking the house of Samuel Hollow ay, at Snedshill, with intent to steal.— On the night of the Kith Sept. the prosecutor retired to bed about 12 o'clock, having first secured his doors and windows ; in a short time a lodger in the house was awoke by a noise, and got up j upon which the thieves ( there being another man with the prisoner at the time) made off. He discovered that thev had broken open the window ; and a hat and a pair of shoes were found about the premises, which belonged to the prisoner. Upon his examination before the magistrates, he confessed that he had been enticed to rob Mr. tlol low ay's house, aud that he re- mained about the premises whilst his companion broke open the window. Guilty— Judgment of Death re- corded. ANN JONES was convicted of uttering counterfeit money at Wellington.- It was proved that the prisoner went to a shop *, u Wellington, to purchase a cheese, for which she gave a good half sovereign ; she after- wards ma^ ie some excuses about the quantity of cheese she vyp. uted, and asked to have the half sovereign retiivned, which was refused. She then went to the shop of Mr. Beeston, a grocer, aud purchased some trifling articles, for which she also gave a good half sovereign, and received some silver in exchange. She then said she could do very well without chang- ing, and had the half sovereign returned. After making some frivolous excuses, she tendered another half sovereign, which was given by the shopman to Mr. Beeston, who discovered that it was counterfeit, and immediately defaced it, and gave the prisoner into the custody of tiie constable.— This transaction of first tendering good money, and afterwards bad, is what is technically termed " ringing the changes."— She was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and afterwards to enter into her ow n recognizance in the sum of £ 20, to be of good behaviour for six months longer. SARAH BARNES 6c ANN BA RN ES were charged with stealing various articles of wearing apparel, cot. ton prints, kc. at Whitchurch, and MARY BARNES ( their mother)• was charged with procuring and com mandiug them to commit the. said felonies — The Bill against the elder prisoner was thrown out by the Grand Jury and the two children weie put upon their trial, Sarah for stealing the goods mentioned in; the indict! ment, and Ann for receiving the same.— Mrs. Ann Murtaugh, who attends the different markets in the county with mercery, & c. deposed to having lost several handkerchiefs, shawls, some muslin, & c. on Whitchurch market- day, w hich articles were produced in Court by the constable who apprehended Sarah Barnes, and were identified by Mrs. Murtaugh as her property.

Of the guilt of Sarah Barnes there was not the least doubt,. as she had confessed the thefts on her examination before the Mti- j- istlate. Ann Barnes was acquitted, aud Sarah Barnes wits convicted on two indictments ; there was i) third charge nauiiisi her for a like offence at the shop of Messrs, Moile aud Roscoe, which was not gone into. I lie learned Judge, considering Ihe prisoner to be old tn iniquity though young in years, said lie thought by inflicting a severe punishment lie should he the nieaiin of rescuing her from au untimely death, aud therefore sentenced her lo lie transported for 14 tears. THOMAS FOSTER, for manslaughter. — The pri. souer was banksman at a coal- pit at Hales Owen, and the grossest negligenc e on his part, was the undoubted cause of the death of two unfortunate men employed ; n tile mine, named Samuel Trnwntan and Thouia/ r lomlinsoa. These two men were ascending the shaff of the pit ( 250 yards . deep) iu u skip, and it was the custom, whenever men were coming near the summit, locause a hummer to strike six times, aud when coal* were ascending it struck three times. This noise ( Witnesses having. stated thai it could he beard 100 yards off) must have been heard by the prisoner, who was islanding wiihin 2(> yardsof the shaft, and instead of him being iu readiness to land Ihe men in safelv, he wantonly impefled a trolly ( weighing 4 cwt ) io the mouth of the pi), and, he being unable to slop it, this immense weight fell into the shafl, and coming in contact willl the skip in which I lie deceased . were ascending, broke the rope and precipitated the uieii to the bottom, by which fall ihey were literally dashed to pieces. Several witnesses deposed lo having seen the trolly enter the shaft, anil lo the prisoner endea- vouring to stay its progress; and it was in conse- quence of lliis endeavour to prevent the accident, that the jury ( alter finding him guilty; rec. nniiieilded hilt/ the merciful consideration of' the Court. lie was adjudged to 9 months* imprisonment, CHARLES SWIFT, was indicted for the man- slaughter of George Woof, at the parish of Wrock. wardine. The parlies were employed la n stone- pit, and as ihe deceased with olhers were ascending the I'll, the prisoner threw a log of timber down it, which striking the bead of the deceased, caused a violent concussion of ihe brain, and death immediately ensued. — Guilty ; to he imprisoned ti mouths. JOHN JONES was found sruilty of stealing a pig, tlie property of Mr. Payne, of Penlre I'elin, and SMI- lenced to 7 I ears' transportation — The prosecutor had lost 4 pigs, which, no doubt with a view lo increase bin store, were taken by the prisoner, boi the prosecutor being able only lo swear to one pigr, the prisoner was tried for that offence. This pig was positively sworu to by a servant of the prosecutor, it being a remarkable one—" it was dark spotted behind, white before, and a black patch on the left side of the face, and » a » altogether what might he considered a pratti/ pig " JOHN OI. Dfi EI. D nod WIl. U AM SOUTH WF. 1X, , charged Willi stealing two pigs, belonging lo John Fox, of Claverley.— John Wbilehtirst slale'd that he was servant to Ihe prosecutor; on the evening of ihf 7lh Nov. lie put Ihe pigs in the fold- fard, fastened the gale, and placed a hurdle before it ; next morning, about 5 o'clock, he went to the fold- yard, and the pigs were missing. Witness then described the pigs as being very remarkable.— Richard Stamford said lie lived about three miles from Kidderminster, near Ihe turnpike road leading to that place ; aboul 5 o'clonk in the morning of Ihe Sill Nov. be saw Oldfield coming hy- with two pigs, driving them towards Kidderminster; witness's cottage is about 7 miles from Claverley, and lav on the direct road from that place to Kidderminster ; lie asked Oldfield the price of the pigs, and prisoner said he could not tell ; witness then asked where he brought iheni from, nnd he replied from Oldney ; in it short time after he suw Southwell going in the same direction. Witness bad occasion to go to Kiddermin- ster market that morning, and set out soon after he savy the prisoners ; about half a mile from that place he saw Oldfield sitting on the road side with the two pigs, and witness, having some suspicion, remained a short lime in the road ; in a quarter of an hour after, Solllli- well enme for the pigs, saving he had procured a pe'u ill the market to put them io for salev Oldfield followed hiiii nnd the pigs to the market ; witness their gave information to the constable.— Satwnel Horny farmer, saw the two prisoners driving the pigs on Ihe road for Kiddermi. n. ster, and afterwards saw then* offering the pigs for sale there.— Richard Law, con- stable, received information and apprehended the1 prisoners, who were silting on the side of the pen; Oldfield went by ihe name, of Thomas Jones, and saiii that they were his father's pigs, who was ill at home, — John Fox swore to the pigs, from the particular marks on them ; and that he knew the prisoners well, but neither of them- bad a father living, nor was Jones the name of either of them.— The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to 7 year* 1 transportation ; upoir which Oldfield said, Thank ye, my Lord." Then addressing the constable, he laid," You'll have to suffer worse than me, Law. 1' Trial of Andrew Sliakeshaft $ IVm. Poole. ANDREW SMAKSHAFT and WILLIAM POO LB, charged with assaulting Dmiel Phillips, and robbing him of a hare; but there being no bill for tbe robbery they were tried for the assault only.— Daniel PliiHipa deposed that in September last he was in the employ of Mr. Evans, of Macclesfield, painter; on the 12th of Sept. he was sent wiih an apprentice of the name of Ashley to Mr. Sherratt's, of Child's Ercall, to work. On the 15ih Sept. after they had completed their work, Mr. Sherratt gave Phillips a hare, which was directed for Mr. Evans, Macclesfield ; they then set out home ; about a mile from Child's Ercall, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they were met by the prisoners in a lane; Poole had a double- barrelled gnu with him and a small dog; alter they had passed by, Shakeshaft, perceiving ihe hare which was slung on a stick across his shoulder, turned back and offered him balf- a- crowu for the hare; witness refused, say ing it was his mauler's ; Shakeshaft then took, the hare off his stick, and in attempting to yet it from him they both fell ; Shakeshaft then gave the bar*- to Poole, and said, kk Here, Keeper, see if all's right;" Poole gave him the hare back, saying, AH's right. Sir Andrew Corbet, all's right;" Shake- shaft then laid the hare about his hack, knocked him down with his fist, ami kick* d him between his legs in a dreadful manner ; Poole said, u Master, don't kick him so;" witness then got up, and said if he was Sir Corbet lie ought to go to school again to learn man. nets; a man of the name of Joseph Evans at that time came up;, the prisoners were gone a little way up the lane, where Shakeshaft gave Poole the bare again; witness then said," D— n such a Sir Corbet, if he is Sir Corbet on that they came back, and Poole threw down the hare ; Shakeshafl then made a put to strike witness, who stood prepared to defend himself; Shake- shaft then struck him right and left and knocked him down; Evans parted them ; Shakeshnft was kicking him at the time; Witness shortly after picked up the hare and his bundle, and asked Evans to write his name with a pencil on the back of tbe direction which was fastened to the hare, and he did so. Witness then went to Eaton, near Child's E- call.— George Ashley and Joseph Evans corroborated the prosecutor's state- ment.— John Walmsley, surgeon, Hodnet, was called in to attend Phillips on the loth Sept.; he examined him, and found, hitii labouring under a retention of urine from a. disorder in the peritoneum; he said the kicks be had received were sufficient to cause tne above. Witness bled him, and had him put in a warm bath; he then called in further advice ( Dr. Paliu, Newport), conceiving it was an extreme case, who ordered leeches to be applied, or more if it could be done ; on the ' 2' 2d Sept, he performed an operation oil him. The prosecutor was dangerously ill for many u'(.(> k « — The Jury relumed a- verdict oi'* Ouil « T Andrew Shakeshaft; William Poole not guilly.— Mr. Justicc Park then addressed Shakeshaft, in the conr » e of which he said, that, during the whole of his judicial life, a u assart it. of a more brutal and atrocious nature never came under bis observation \ and that if the man who had been the victim of his unbounded wrath had not recovered from the wounds he had received, he certainly would have forfeited his life to the laws of his co'nuti v : Us, how ever, by the interposition of Provi dence, the death of the prosecutor had not ensued, he hoped it would operate as a warning to him, and tend to alter his conduct for the future.— His Lordship then sentenced him to 12 months'imprisonment. J A M ES T V B ER H A M * J O UN ARCHER, charged with breaking open the dwelling hous6 of Thomas Adams, of Cherringlon, and stealing various articles thereout.— Mary Wilde, servant to the prosecutor, locked the doors of the house on the night of the 16lh October; in the morning she found the door unlocked and unbolted ; she then went into the brewhouse and found that her shoes had been taken away. — Ann Gosnell also was a servant of prosecutor's; on the morning of the 17th Oct. she missed her shoes, and on further search a cheese had been taken from under the press, and a cloth.— John Shaw lived w ith Mr. Adams in October last ; saw the 2 prisoners near his master's house the day before the robbery, between 3 aud 4 o'clock in the evening; they were barefoot, but had rags tied round their heels ; they were sweeps ; on the morning of the r » bbery he went to High Ercall, and the road he tracked the footmarks of two persons ; the one footmark was smaller than the other ; witness then came up with a man named Sales, who asked him where he was going, aud he said in search of the men who had robbed his master's house the night before; Sales then went with him, and shortly after-- they came up with the prisoners ; one was a boy and the other a tall man ; they were both fast asleep ; Sales remained by them while witness went f-. r the constable; in a short time he returned with the constable; they then roused the sweeps and took them into custody, and the property stolen was found upon them.— The pri- soners were" found Guilty, aud Jud- meut of Deulb wa » recorded ugaiust them. SALOPIAN JOURNAL* AMP COURIEE OF WAJLESd litnX ftegf}**- The Commission of Assize for ibis county was opened on Thursday afternoon, a; 3 o'clock, before Mr. Justice Paik and Mr. Baron Vaughaii — The High Sheriff, William Lncon Childe, Esq. had previously nu t their Lordships at Eurstrey, and, accompanied by a very numerous and highly respectable rava.' cade of gentle- men aud liadesinen, and attended l> v his javelin men, h> escorted their Lordships into the tow n.

On Friday morning, at nine o'clock, Mr. Baron Vanghan took his seat in the Nisi Prius Court ; and at len o'clock Mr. Justice Park took his s. at in the f rown Court; wheie the following Gentlemen were sworn of the GRAND JURY. The Honourable Thomas Kenyon, of Prado, FORF. MA* Sir Edwnrd Joseph Smyihe, of Aeion Burnell, Baronet Sir Rowland Hill, of liawkstonc, Baronet Sir Andrew Corbet, of Adder ley. Baronet Sir Robert diamine Hill,, of Prees, Knight Baldwin Francis Leightou, of Lotoii, Esquire Thomas Whitmore, of Apley Paik, Esquire John Cotes., Of Woodeote, Esquire William Charlton, of Apley Castle, Esquire Edward William Smytl. e Owen, of Comlover, Esquire John Arthur LLoyd,." of Leaton Knolls, Esquire William Ortnsby Gore, of PorkingtoU, Esquire William IJoyd, of Aston, Esquire Andiew WiYlituit Cor'oet, of Soudorne, Esquire Thomas Charlton Whitmore, of Apley P-. » k, Esquire Saint John Chiverton Charlton, of Apley Castle, Esquire John Winofield, of Onslow, Esqnire Thomas Beale, of Ilealli House, Esquhe Thomas Netherton Parker, of Sweeney, Esquire Francis Blithe Harries, of Beuthall, Esquire Thomas Botfield, of Hopioiv Court, Esquire William Sparling, of Petton, Esqnire Charles K\ uaslon Mainwaring, of O^ eleyPark, Esquire His Majesty's Proclamation against Vice, Profane- mss, and Imniorali'v having been lead, Mr. Justice Park delivered his" Charge to the Grand Jury. There were, he said, three or four cases in the Calendar to which he thought it his duly to draw their particular attention. The first was that of Andrew Shakeshalt and William Poide, which charged them with assault and robbery upon the king's highway. Whether this crime was conuuiHed in the course of what might he termed a drunkeiV frolic was a matter of little consideration, as they were in that situation equally amenable to the laws; but the fact of one of them having- personated the character of a highly respectable magistrate of this county, in order to intimidate the prosecutor, and the peculiar manner in which the robbery was staled to have been eoni- in it ted, deserved their especial notice His Lordship then observed, that to constitute a capital offence of assault and highway robbery, it did not matier how small a sum the amount of property stolen might be, provided the violently assaulting and putting a person in bodily fear preceded the robbery. In the une above alluded to it was quite different, as the robbery was alleged to have taken place before the assault, and under peculiar circumstances, whereby they would probably be led to find a true bill for the assault only. The next case which came under his observation was that of Thomas James, charged with obtaining property by means of forged letters. There was a doubt in his mind as to the nature of the charge in the depositions in this case; but Mr. Peel's admirable Bill ( passed last Session of Parliament), for consolidating the several species of larceny, would assist them in solving the difficulties in this case. His Lord- ship then noticed the charge against John Smith for a rape upon an infant only 5 years old, as requiring great attention, lie then adverted to the two cuses of man- slaughter,. v\ herehv the lives o. f three men were sacri- ficed in a most brutal and atrocious manner, nearly amounting to murder,, by means of timber thrown down the coal- pits whilst they were in the act of ascending. His Lordship then said, he could not help alluding to the increase of crime in the kingdom generally, especially tin the Oxford Circuit. In 1827, there had been a very considerable increase bribe number of prisoners in the county of Stafford as compared with the preceding year; and in this county there had been an increase of 48 prisoners during the same period. How to account for this alarming increase of crime he could not at present determine. It has been stated by some that education is the chief cause; but such statement, he would venture to assert, and lie had no donbt the gentlemen he was addressing would brar him out in the assertion, was a direct falsehood. He knew, from his peisonal knowledge, that where the lower orders had been educated upon the National principles of the Established Church, such education had been uni- versally beneficial ; but to give education without religion would he bestowing a curse instead of a blessing. His Lordship then said he should not detain tlifin any longer; and, in conclusion, hoped they would each of them endeavour, in their individual capacities to inculcate in the miirds of all those who may come under their attention the necessity of a religious education, as the increase of population and crime demanded from ihern more than ordinary exer- tions. Mr. Justice Park then complimented them for their prompt and numerous attendance. JOHN JONES, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Edward Dyke, of Clun, and stealing various articles therefrom, was the first piisoner tried. — The rubbery was committed on the night of the 9th or early on the morning of the 10th of May last, by means of a ladder placed against one of the windows, which was found forced open. It appeared, the prisoner ( in company with one John Pratt,. w ho was convicted last Assizes), bad been a servant with , Ylr. D\ ke, and knew the situation of the premises well. They contrived to get into the housekeeper's room while she was asleep, and stole a large box therefrom, which the prisoner Jones knew contained Mr. D\ ke's money. The box was discovered nil the morning of the 10th of May about ' 200 yards from the house broken open by means of an axe belonging to the prosecutor, and rifled of its contents. There were 11 ( en pound bank notes, 7 sovereigns, a shilling with a letter Q on it, a half- penny with two heads, and several other articles in the box at the time it was taken out of the room. The prisoner and his accomplice made their way to Bishop's Castle, where they purchased a suit of clothes each and each of them a silver watch, and gave two of the £ 10 notes in payment for tliein. They then proceeded to Pulverbatch, w here the constable ( Weaver) of Bishop's Castle, in consequence of information received, detected the prisoners at the public- house there, and had them searched, when most of the stolen property was found upon Jones. The propeity was sworn to by Mr. Dyke, when Jones was found guilty, and Judgment of Death was recorded against him. THOMAS DUCE, chaiged with stealing four heifers, the property of Mr. Wainwriglit, of Huugerford. — Thomas Trefford, bailiff to the prosecutor, stated that IIP locked the gate of the field where the cattle were on thp 10th of November last ; but on the morning of the llth ( Sunday) the cattle were missing, and the gate was found open. Witness then went lo Shrewsbury" iji search of the heifers, where he received information respecting them, and immediately set off for Moiitford Bridge, where he met with a man named Gidwell who told him the direction the cattle were driven in ; and on further inquiry learnt thai the prisoner bad disposed 9s. 6d. in silveV'. The property was produced in Court, and identified by the Rev. Mr. Leicester. The piisoner was found guilty, and JtldgU. ent of Death was recorded agarnst him.— Mr. Leicester gave the boy an excellent character Up lo the time of committing the robbery, and likewise recommended him to the mercy of the Court on account of hr* extreme youth, which Mr. Justice Pnrk said should be attended to. JOHN EVANS, charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, the property of John and Edward Williams, of Tjnycelin, in the parish of St. Martins, was acquitted.

HP. NRY RHODEN, charged with assaulting John Dunn, on the king's highway in the parish of Hinstock, tiiMf stealing from his person a one. pound note, lfis. in silver,. some halfpence, and a silver watch.— The prose- cuior staled that he was a Chelsea pensioner, and re- sided at Child's Ercall. On the 31st of October, 1827, he went to receive his pension at Drayton; at the Phoenix Inn, in that place, as he was getting a little refreshmeiH, tbe prisoner came in ( in company with James Vaughan and Robert Pugh, who were tried at the last Lent Assizes for the robbery above alluded to); they stopped a short time, and then went ont, httt returned almost immediately; shortly after their re- turn, prosecutor heard ft hod'en ask another pensioner who was getting a pint of ale at the time, whether he had received his pension, and on being answered in the affirmative, lie then asked whether Dunn had received his pension, when he was told he had better ask tlte . uian himself; the primmer and the other two again went out ; witness remained about feu minutes afWr, and then started lo go home; this was about five o'clock in the evening ; he had not got far on the road before the three men who were drinking at the Phoenix Inn overtook him ; they immediately knocked him down', and Rhoden stopped his month with his hand while t. he others robbed him, at the same time sayinjr he would knock his brains out the next time he saw him if he* said any thing about the robbery. — Ann Jones said she was going along the Newport road to Drayton ; she met John Dunn soon after five o'clock in the evening; he wished her a good night, and she re- lumed the compliment; in a quarter of an hour affer, she met the three men above stated, who were going in the same direction as the prosecutor; she knew the three well; it was a wet night, and the prisoner and the other two were very wet.— Henry Holt, constable, Drayton, having received informalion:, went to Brighton in December last in search of the prisoner, and found him in the barracks at thai place; prisoner went by the'name of Webster at that time; when witness first saw him he said he should only have twenty- one years' drill for the robbery.

This was an action for alleged assault and false im prisohiwent : the ground of action arose out of a disput between Mr. Walton and Mr. Darlington, as to which of them had become the tenant of a piece of meadww gras* near Wem ; but it appearing in the course of the ciise that tbe parlies bore no malice to each other, and that in fact the whole affair had been grounded on u/ iscoiiception, it was agreed that as between Mr, Walton and Darlington a juior should be w ithdraw n, as also in a cross action brought by Mr. Dailingfon against Sir. Walton — As related to Mr. Walmsley, the learned Judge several times repeated, that " there was not the slightest pretence for including him in the action." SEDUCTION". HUNTER t>. REYNOLDS. This was an action, brought by Mr. Thomas Hunter, a carver and gilder, of Bridgnorth, against the tie. fendant Mr. Reynolds, w ho is an examiner in the excisi at Richmond, in Yorkshire, but w ho from the year up to tbe end of had been an officer of excise at Bridgnorth, for the seductioirol the plaintiff's daughter, and his consequent lot< i of tier sei vices.—- The defendant was stated to be about 50 yearn of age. Mr. Phillips, with his usual eloquence, stated the case of the plaintiff. Ann Huntei was then called. She said she was not now 21 years old, and was one of six children of her father and mother, there being two brothers and three oifiir sisters; one of the brothers had been an idiot from his birth. She had known the defendant from the year Vfc- 24, « t which time Charlotte, one of tier elder sisters, lodged in the same house with Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, whom she then understood to be married: w itness on one occasion drank tea with her sister and Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds; and she had on one other occasion been in Mr. Reynolds's house. Witness was a dress maker, and in the habit of going out to work at ladies' houses; and soon after she fust knew the de- fendant, he commenced a series of assiduous attentions, by watching where she went to work, and then con- triving to place himself so that he might get into her company as she went home : at firsl he professed a re- spect for her and offered to lend Her £ 50 to set her up in business, but this she declined : he then told her lie was not married lo the female who passed as Mrs. Reynolds, and if witness would yield to his wishes lie fendant was out surveying when his wife arrived at Richmond, hut witness gave up the defendant's keys to Mrs. Reynolds, there being then about £ 150 in money in a bureau of the defendant's. On Reynolds arriving at Richmond, the occurrence of course became known lo him : witness told him she thought she was in the family way, and he gave her £ 5 to carry her to Birming- ham where she had a sister married, and promised to write to her in a fortnight ; he wrote t » her once some weeks after, but never sent her any money, and she bad never again heard from him. Her sister obtained a situation for her in Birmingham ; but she could not continue in il, on account of her pregnancy. On the 21st of September, 18£ 27, she returned to her father's, and on the 18th of November she was delivered of a child, of which child the defendant is the father, and to him she said she solely owed her ruin. The witness underwent a long cross- examination by Mr. Campbell: but she adhered to the facts above stated. John Hunter, a son of the plaintiff, proved that he had searched the shops in Birmingham for his sister, soon after she left, her father supposing she might have gone there » o work. Edward Goodall, police- officer, proved that at the request of ( be plaintiff and his wife, he made enquiries as to Ann Hunter leaving Bridgnorth, w hich he found she had done by the coach : he spoke to the distressed state of the parents on the occasion: he said he knew defendant well, and always considered him a married ma n. Mr. Hall, the proprietor and driver of the coach, proved that Ann Hunter went with him fronr Bridg- north to Wolverhampton, where defendulit met her and took core of her luggage. Mr. John Collins, supervisor of excise, said the defendant's salary as an officer of excise, when in ' Bridgnorth, was about £ U0 per annum; as an ex- aminer, it was now about £" 200 per annum ; and he had heard defendant say he had built a few houses in Dudley when stationed there.—- He always considered ( tie defendant a married man, and so did every one who knew hi HI. Mr. Campbell addressed the Jury for the defendant, in u style of great ingenuity, urging ihat Ann Hunter must have been guilty of great levity— the great dis- parity of her age and that of the defendunt — the cer- tainty that she must have known fie wasH married man, and the general improbability of her statement. Mr. Baron Vaughkn summed up the case with great perspicuity ; and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with £ 70 damages. DANSEYO. PARKES. This was an action brought for alleged w ilful trespass by defendant in sporting on tbe farm of the plaintiff, in tfie parish of Shrawardine, which he occupies as tenant to tiie Earl of Powis. It appearing, however, that although a former tenant had given the defendant notice not to sport on the farm, Mr. Dansey hail not given him such notice until after the alleged acts of trespass had been committed, the Learned Judge said he could not certify that tbe defendant had in this instance committed a wilful trespass according to the meaning of the law, so as to lay the cosn* of ihe action on the defendant. The Jury therefore returned a verdict for plaintiff, wiih Is. damages. DOE on the DEMISE of Rev. GEORGE MORGAN » >. AMISS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the Rev. George Morgan, Vicar of Stoke Si. ilborough, to recover possession of certain premises which he bad, as kind of trustee for a charitable donation, iei lo defendant for the purpose of keeping a school to teach the poor children of the parish. A \ » r: tie » memo- randum of an agreement by the defendant to pay 2s. 6d. a year to plaintiff, and lo quit the premises ( said to be of the value of about £ 4 a year) on receiving notice from plaintiff, was put in; but Mr. Campbell, for defendant, said the agreement, to make it valid, should be stamped.— Mr. Taunton for plaintiff urged that there was no real interest of defendaut in the premises worth £ 20, ami therefore it did not require a stamp Service of notice to quit, having been proved, a verdict was returned for plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court above on Mr. Campbell's objection. DAYUS V. EDWARDS. This was an action on an account The plaintiff is a farrier at or nearLongnor; the defendant is a farmer at Plu> h Park. Defendant had paid £ 5 into Court; but there was a further sum of about £ II alleged to be due from defendant to plaintiff for medicine and attendance on defendant's horses from 1825 to when they had the mange. ; The defendant said the plaintiff had engaged, with regard to this part of the account, if llit- ie was no cure there was to be no pay ; and this was distinctly sworn to by several witnesses, one of whoui said, the plaintiff declared on one occasion the horses would be cured in two dressings of his mixture, and that a third dressing would cure the devil himself, much less a horse. On the part of the plaintiff it was urged that the horses liatl been cured 2 or 3 times, excepting one old blind mare, and that he had said to dofcoduol h « > ouiKt uiuke that n » t » re siw uy, or she would always infect the others ; hut it was alleged by defend- ant that he had engaged to cure them all, but that he had not cured them. Much laughter was exc. ited by the reading of tbe plaintiff's hill for 44 strong charges." " strong mixtures,'— u double strong- mixtures," & c. as also t » v the general drift of the evidence produced. Tbe Learned Judge, in putting tbe case lo the Jury, said, if they were persuaded tbe plaintiff had under- taken lo cure all the defendant's horses on tbe condi- tion of " no c* » re, no pay," as the witnesses for the defence bud sworn, they would of course return a verdict for defendant. The Jury found for tlie defendant. At the Court at Windsor, the 19th day of February, Present, the King's most excellent Majesty in Council. This day the Right Hon. Rowland Lord Hill was, bv his Majesty's command, sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy- Council, and took his seat at the Board accordingly. — Gazeftc. The King held a Court on Wednesday at St. James's Palace, the uumber of carriages setting down, and of spectators, were very limited. At about five o'clock the Right Rev. Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Attorney- General Sir William Freemantle, Mr. Greville, and one or two other attendants at Court, not being Privy Councillors, withdrew. His Majesty then held a Council, it was supposed, to consider the affairs of Turkey and Portugal, which continued sitting for a considerable time. At a quarter past six o'clock, the Court broke up, and the Marquis of Winchilsea, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr Secretary Huskisson, Lord Dudley, Lord Palmerston, Earl Bathurst, Lord Mel- ville, Mr. Goulbnrn, the Duke of Montrose, Lord Ellenborough, the Earl of Aberdeen, & c. retired. His Grace the Duke of Wellington looked in good health and spirits, wearing a Field Marshal's uni- form, and his appearance excited much, though uo clamorous, interest. Mr Secretary Huskisson was wrapped up in a large blue cloak, and seemed to be in a very bad state of health. SHROPSHIRE Forty Pounds Reward.

A circular has been sent from the Lord3 of the Treasury, to the different towns from which memo- rials have been presented praying for a repeal of the stamp duty on receipts, stating, " that the request cannot be complied with." It is rumoured that a considerable change is about to take place this year in the House List for the Bank Direction, the political economists having', it is said, succeeded in driving-, or rather talking', the plain, old- fashioned, common- sense people out of the field.

N, Paiker, Esq at Sweeney, was found guilty upon the clearest evidence, and sentenced to 7 years' transportation.— The prisoner had offend the snuff- box for sale to Mr. Lowe, » old- smith, of Chester, who refused to purchase it. He then went to Mr. S. Huntingdon, jeweller, of the same ' place, and sold it for 25 shillings — The box was pro- duced in Court, and sworn to by Mr. Parker. THOMAS PARKER ( a boj only 13 years of age), charged with stealing money the property of the Uev. Oswald Leicester, of Stoke- upon- Tern.—- The prose- cutor stated that he had occasion to g* o to Shrewsbury on the 11 ih of February last, when he left in the drawer of a small table in his study, in a tin case, a bank- post bill for £ 10, four Shrewsbury notes, three Drayton notes, from 10 to 15 sovereigns, and about three or four pounds in silver. The. bank- post bill was drawn in his favour, but not indorsed. He returned home on the I6jb of February, and examined the drawer, w hen he found the hills were missing, and liie whole of the sovereigns except four, and all the silver hut four or five shillings. He sent for ihe constable on the 18th of February, and vihen he arrived witness ordered the whole of his ser- vants before him, and told them w hat money had been stolen from his draw ei'y at the same time charging one or other w ith committing the robbery, lie then ordered the constable to search the servants' boxes, but none of the stolen property was found in either of them. The constable then examined their peisotis, ami found the £ 10 hill, four Shrewsbury notes, three Diayton notes, one sovereign, 14s. 6d. in silver, and 8d in copper, in the prisoner's pocket, and also a key which fitted the lock of the drawers. The hoy then confessed where the remainder of the money was, and shewed them two small boxes oil the floor of the butler's pantry, one of which contained fourteen sovereigns and the other £ j. would settle £ 30a. year upon the female who passed i his wife, and devote himself to the witness: as their acquaintance went on, he wroie to the Board of Excise making application for a situation as examiner, so that lie may be removed from Bridgnorth : having succeeded iu Ins application, he then told witness unless she would consent to go with him, he would put au end to his life, by shooting or hanging himself, or by jumping into the Severn : he had frequently during their acquaintance made oaths and protestations that he was not married, and that if she did not yield to his wishes to accompany him fioiii IJridgnortli, lie would destroy himself: lie made these protestations so often, that she believed his assertions: he never took any improper liberty will) her in Bridgnorth, nor until they arrived ai Richmond, nor did. she ever meet him at any house nor walk with him iu the fields, but be continually, from 1824 to 18' 20 contrived to meet her in the streets of Bridgnorth as she went home from her work : neither her father nor her mother, nor aiiy member of her family, ever knew of the acquaintance between herself and the defendant Just before Christmas, 182G, the defendant prevailed upon her, by his threats of destroying himself if she did not yield to bis wishes, to accompany him from Bridg- north : it was settled that he should leave on Wednes- day, and that she should follow by ihe coach to Wolver- hampton on the- Thursday morning, where he would meet her : on the Tuesday evening, the defendant went to the plaintiff's house to wish good " bye to the idiot son, he having twice employed plaintiff lo mark a measuring tape for him to use in his business; and it appeared that these were the only occasions on which he had ever been iu the plaintiff's house. When he went under pretence of wishing good bye to the idiot he sent fui a bottle of wine to drink, although it was objected to by witness's mother. Defendant left Bridg- north on the Wednesday, and on the Thursday witness got up early and went to Wolverhampton hy the coach : she there was met hy the plaintiff, with whom she travelled, on tbe footing of brother and sister to Rich- mond, in Yorkshire, where they arrived on the Satur- day. On arriving there, he left her at the inn while he went Intake lodoings: be returned to the inn, told her he had taken lodgings, and she must say as lie had said or he should be ruined hy losing his place in the ex- cise : he said she must say they had been married two > ears, that she was ' 24 years old, and that she had had • me miscarriage: she assented in his proposals* and from that time they lived as man and wile, nntil about two yr three months after, when Mrs. Reynolds arrived It is rather curious that there are many predica- tions of the fall of Mahometan ism, which, if gene- rally known, would have a paralysing etiect on the efforts of the Faithful, and at the present time will not fail of being interesting to our readers. Bibliander affirms— " That there is a famous prophecy among the Ma- hometans which strikes a great terror both into men and women, and which * ays, 4 thnf the empire shall he destroyed by the sword of the Christians.' The pro- phecy is expiessed in the following* words, which are translated out of Persian into Latin by GeorgTevifi; olir emperor shall come, thall take the kingdom of the < » enti! e*, shall take the red apple, shall subdue it even unto seven y ears ; if Ihe svVord of the Gentiles shall not rine a^ aiu, he shall reign over them twelve years, shall build a house, shall plant a vineyard, shall enclose gardens with a hedge, * h'all have a son and a daughter • alter twelve years, the sword of lb* Christians shall rise up, which » hall heat back the Turk." Sansovin published a book in 1570, wherein he affirms, 44 that there is a prediction, 4 that the laws of Mahomet shall last no longer than a thousand years, and that the empire of the Turks shall fall under the fifteenth Sultan " He adds, " that Leo the philosopher, emperor of Constantinople-, has said, iu one of his books, ' that a light- haired family, with its competitois, shall put all Mahoiiietanism to Hight, and sha'l seize him who is postered of the seven mountains." The same emperor makes mention of a column which was at Constanti- nople, whose iui » ciipiions the patriarch of the place explained, and said that they signified, " that the Venetian* and Muscovites shall take the city of Con- stantinople • and, after some disputes, they shall Chuse with one consent and crown a Chiistian emperor." This light- haired family, so ' fatal to the Mussulmen, puts me in mind of a passage of Dr. Spon, which I shall set down. 44 Of all the Christian princes there is none the Turk fears so much as the great Czar of Mus- covy ;— and 1 have heard some Greeks say, and among the rent, the Sieur Manuo- Maimea, a merchant of the city of Aria, a man of wit and learning for that country, that there WJ » * a prophecy among them which imported, 4 that the empiie of the Turks was to be destroyed by a nation chr/ js^ e/ ios, that is, light- hairedwhich can- not be attributed lo any but the Muscovites, who are almost all light- haired." There is mention made of this in the 44 Miscellaneous Thoughts upon Comets," on occasion of 1 know not what tradition which is cur- rent, 4 that the fates have promised the French the glory of destroying the Tuiks." The prophecy of the A- hyssiuians mentions only a Christian king, who shall be born in the north. 41 Mecca, Medina, and the other cities of Arabia Felix, shall hereafter be destroyed, and tbe ashes of Mahomet and his priests be dissipated^ and that some Christian prince, born in tbe northern regions, shall perform all this, who shall also seize on Egypt and Palestine. it is pretended that a book was written in Arabic concerning this prophecy, before the taking of Da- uiietta, and that this book was found by the Christians. Williehius relates, " that the Turks find in their annals that the reign of Mahomet shall continue until the arrival of the light- haired boys; 4 donee veniant figliuoli biondi, fiavi ct albi filii, vel filii ex Sepenfrione fiavis et albis capillis.'" Some think that this denotes the Swedes; but Antony Torqualo, a famous astrologer, applies it lo the King of Hungary. New York papers to the 171 h ultimo, contain an account of the death of Mr. de Witt Clinton, Governor of the state of New York. His death was sudden, being occasioned by tbe rupture of a blood- vessel in the heart. This statesman was distinguished not merely for the active part which be took in the general poliiics of the United Stales, but for his endeavours to beuefil ihe slate over which he presided, by promoting education and every kind of internal improvement. The great canal which is lo join the Wester n waters with Hudson's river, was undertaken and prosecuted chiefly through his influence. The Committee of the Dublin Guild of Merchants appointed to prepare a petition 4< against the de- mand called ' Catholic Emancipation,'" hare pub- lished a Report, for the purpose of removing the impressions which the Catholic Association and their adherents have contrived to fix very generally cn the minds of the people of England, as to the numbers aud circumstances of the Irish Catholic population. This Committee state, that in the principal squares of the city of Dublin, in which the Irish nobility and gentry who inhabit that city usually reside, there are 410 houses, of which twenty- two only are the houses of Roman Catholics,, being little more than one twentieth of the whole.— They also state that in the greatest trading street of that metropolis, where the shops are richest and most magnificent, the total number of houses is 411, of which only ninety- two, or much less than one- fourth of the whole, are occupied by Roman Catho- lics.— The Report asserts that the Lying- in Hospital of Dublin, during the three quarters of a century that it has existed, in which period 17,000 Catholic mothers have shared its benefits, has, although it depends chiefly upon voluntary contributions, been aided by Catholic contributions amounting in the aggregate to uo more than the insignificant sum of £ 157. 10s. It will be discreet on the part of the Popish leaders, after the promulgation of this very important and extraordinary fact, to abstain from those boasts in which they have recently so much delighted to indulge, of the wealth and social im- portance of their party. The Committee likewise solicit the attention of the Public to a fact which proves incontestibly either that all the property or all the loyalty of Ireland is Protestant. It was determined, as our readers know, to commemorate the visit of George the Fourth to Ireland, by a monument to be erected by voluntary contributions. The sum actually subscribed is £ 13,000, the amount of Catholic subscriptions being no more than £ 800, or less than one- sixteenth of the whole; and it will be recollected that this subscription was set on foot at a moment when the loyal attachment of the Catholics of Ireland to his Majesty appeared to be the most enthusiastic. LEGISLATION.-— Col. Davies's Bill for altering avid amending the mode of taking the Poll at City and Borough Elections.— The principal enactments of the Bill are, that the returning officer shall provide a separate booth or polling place for each parish, with accommodation for the poll clerk, and for an agent and check- clerk, and also separate booths or polling places for non- resident voters. If the number of voters in any one parish exceed , then two or more polling places are to be allotted to it; on the other hand, if the number of votes should be less than , then it. may be united to any other parish. That the expense of erecting such booths, of paying poll- clerks, fees to the under- sheriff, the assessor, if required, aud also of all constables and others employed to keep the peace, shall be rlef ayed by a general rate ujyon the inhabitants of the city, borough, or port for which such election is held So much of the Act 51 Geo. 3d, as enacts that such expenses shall be borne by the candidates, to be repealed. The returning' officer or assessor to attend after the poll is closed on each day to decide upon disputed votes, and all objections to such votes to be made in writing. That the Act of 25 Geo. 3d, allowing the poll at elections for cities and boroughs to continue for fifteen days be repealed; and that after the passing of this Act no poll at such elections be kept open for a longer period than days; the poll to be closed in case a certain number of votes shall not have been polled or tendered within a certain period, unless it shall be made to appear to the returuing- officer on oath that the voters have been unable to come to the poll by reason of any force or violent obstruction, then it shall be lawful for the retuming- offieer to keep the poll open for another day, and so on from day to day for any term not exceeding days.
