People of a sedentary life and occupation are equally liable thereto, as it de- stroys the strength of the muscles, and renders them, for want of use, unable to bear action ; the circulation, there- fore, deprived of this considerable assistance, soon grows lanquid; vital heat diminishes : the humours stagnate and become vitiated ; and the secretions and natural evacua- tions not being well performed, the body remains loaded with excrementitious humours, the acrimony of which preys upon the constitution, strength is dissipated, and a variety of disagreeable consequences ensue. The Cordial Balm of Gilead, by its softening, healing, and tonic qualities, as well as by its salutary effects, affords a sure prospect of returning strength, and a cer- tain hope of muscular invigoration to those who are debi- litated by premature or excessive indigencies; hence arise weakness of sight, vertigos, loss of appetite, and mental decay.

Upon the motion of Lord Sid mouth, the Alien Bill was read a second time. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12. ECCEESIAST1CAL BENEFICES. The Archbishop of Canterbury presented a Bill for the better regulation of Ecclesiastical Benefices, which, after some observations from Lord Harrow by and Lord Carnarvon, was read the first time, and ordered to be printed. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, JUNE 7. The Local Poor Bill and the Lottery Bill were read a third time. — The Coroners' Bill was read a second time. SILVER COINAGE. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Silver Coinage Bill, Lord A. Hamilton said, that no provision appeared to be made respecting the situation of the holders of base coin, which was scattered all over the country. Neither was the state of Bank tokens taken into con- sideration, whereby the Bank might gain a large profit. It was their duty to take care that the public should not suffer, and that all holders of inferior coin should be able to receive the new coinage without expence. Mr. Rose said, that no doubt there might be a con- siderable pressure on the holders of bad coin, and among the class least able to bear it; but that could not be entirely avoided. There was danger to be apprehended in adopting a different mode, by which coiners would be set to work to carry in their false coin to the Mint. He understood, however, from the Mint officers, that they could, for all ordinary purposes, ascertain the true from the false coin ; and in respect to the Bank, that establishment undertook to take tokens at their originally understood value, and they were likely to suffer great loss. Mr. F. Lewis thought it would he very convenient to coin gold pieces of twenty shillings, instead of guineas. It appeared better that the money of account should be a coin, and to issue gold as well as silver. ' Mr. Thornton said, the tokens were issued according to their value in silver. When they came into the Bank, there would be a loss of from 6d. to 8d. He saw no particular objection to the suggestion respect- ing new gold coin. Mr. W. Pole thought the question as to coining twenty shilling gold pieces deserved consideration. He should certainly recommend the Committee on coin to consider the subject. It would also be de- sirable to assimilate the Irish to the English currency. Mr. D. Giddy added his testimony to the benefits which would result from an issue of twenty shilling pieces. Mr. Croker expressed his satisfaction that there was now every probability of there being an issue of twenty shilling pieces. He took this opportunity of remarking that the whole system of our coins was in the most irregular and unsatisfactory state. We had one measure for weighing our gold by carats, another for our silver by troy weight, and a third for our copper by avoirdupois. He should regret deeply if this opportunity were neglected of establishing the coinage upon just principles. It did so happen, at the present moment, that the prices of go d, silver, and copper, bore such a relation to each other, as would easily admit of the new coinage being formed on the decimal scale. If an ounce of gold were divided into five parts, each part would be worth twenty of the new shillings proposed to be coined; and according to the price of copper, each of these shillings would be worth 10d. If the pound troy of silver were coined into eighty of the new shillings, each would be pretty nearly wortfh10d. at the present moment. Here the Hon. Member entered into other calculations, to show the facility with which the decimal system of coinage could be introduced at present. Mr. Baring agreed with the Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, that this would, in some respects, be a most convenient period for adjusting the relative propor- tions of the coins of the realm. A great deal would be gained towards this object by the issuing of 20- shilliug pieces. For his part, he did not attach mm him- portance to the introduction of the decimal calculation in regard to shillings and pence. The capacity of divi- sion by halves and quarters, which attended our shil- lings, was extremely convenient for the common pur- poses of life, which, upon the whole, was the best cri- terion of any system. He believed that, generally speaking, there was no gold in the country, excepting what was in the possession of a few singular people who hoarded it. No possible inconvenience could, there- fore, result from the issue of 20- shilling pieces. Some further observations having been made oil the subject, the Bill was read a second time. Mr. Bankes moved—" That a sum, not exceeding S5, OOOl. be granted to his Majesty for the purchase of the Elgin Marbles;" which, on a division, was car- ried in the affirmative. The sum of 23.000'. was then voted for the inciden- tal expences of the Bahamas; 13,000,. for Bermuda, and several other small sums for the Establishments in the Colonies; 4,0001. for the Alien Office; 13,0001. for the Mint; 44,800.. for the Storekeeper General's Office; 400,5001. for the Commissariat Department; 178,0001. for the Barrack Department; 10,0001. for Law charges; 3,0001. for the National Vaccine Esta- blishment; 2,900;. for the repair of Henry Vll.' sCha- pel; aud 64,4421. for Printing.— Adjourned to Monday. MONDAY, JUNE 10. The Fraudulent Devise Bill and Exchequer Bills Bill were read a third time and passed. STAGE- COACHES. The Attorney Genera! moved for leave to bring in a Bill for preventing improper driving of Stage- Coaches. The measure was necessary for the preservation of the lives of passengers; He stated a case of two coaches, the Regulator and Trafalgar, that set off' from Man- chester at half past five o'clock in the morning, and arrived at Liverpool, a distance of thirty mires, in two hours and a half, being at the rate of twelve miles an hour. Such travelling must, endanger the No. 129. Printed and Published ( for the Proprietors) by E. LANCASTER, No. 30, Head- Street, Colchester.

What lie proposed was, to give the Magistrate power to imprison, in very atrociouscase5, for not less than one month, and not more than three months.— Leave given, CONSOLIDATION . OF THE TWO EXCHEQUERS. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Consolidation of the Exchequers of Great Britain and Ireland; when the Bill went through the Com- mittee, and the Report was ordered to be taken into further consideration on Thursday. RAPE SEED. The House went into a Committee on the Acls concerning Rape Seed, Mr. Brand argued at considerable length in favour of an increased duty on the importation of rape seed. This was necessary particularly for the protection of the whale fishers, who had suffered considerably of late. There were eleven or twelve thousand persons employed in this trade, and if there were not some provision afforded to them, the trade would be soon abandoned. He then moved two Resolutions, " That the present duties on the importation of rape seed be repealed; and that there be imposed a duty of 101. per last on rape seed imported." Lord Milton opposed the Resolutions. The im- position of the proposed duties would afford no im- mediate relief, and might be productive of future bad consequences. He was persuaded that all such quackeries with regard to commerce would prove injurious, and should therefore give his vote against the Resolutions. Sir John Newport spoke in support of the Resolu- tions, and argued, that as all trades were not left to find their natural level, there ought to be a protecting duty for the produce of rape seed. The agricultural products of Ireland ought to be protected, in order to enable her to pay for the manufactures of England. The Resolutions were agreed to. In a Committee of Ways and Means, the following Resolution was agreed to :—" That the Unclaimed Dividends remaining in the hands of the Bank, after an expiration of ten years, as often as they exceeded 100,0001. should be paid into the Treasury." The Bank Capital Bill was read a second, and or- dered to be read a third time on Friday next. TUESDAY, JUNE 11. The House went into a Committee on the Acts re- lative to the Coasting Trade, and leave was given to bring in a Hill to amend the said Acts, and for the better government of Sailors employed in that Trade. Sir John Nicholl moved, that an instruction be given to the Committee on Tithes, to report, under what circumstances the Proprietors should be allowed to grant Leases of Tithes. Mr. Croker brought in a Bill to enable Soldiers and Sailors to exercise their trades. — Read a first time. Mr. Croker brought in a Bill to enable his Majesty to purchase certain Lands in the neighbourhood of Sheerness and Chatham. — Read a first time. The Fraudulent Bankrupts' Bill was read a first time, Colonel Wood, after a few words from Sir C. Bur- rell and Mr. Wrottesley, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Game Laws. Mr. Coke presented petitions from the Rectors and Freeholders of the parishes of Diss, Shelfanga, and two others, in the county of Norfolk, praying for commutation of tithes. Mr. Brougham observed, that the Clergy of those parishes were taking a just view of their own and the public interests, and hoped that their example would become general. Mr. Ponsonby hoped, as the Clergy, who were most interested on the subject of tithes, were now convinced that the present system wanted alteration, the subject would occupy the attention of Parliament early next Session, and that something effectual would be done • with regard to the system. Lord Milton did not think that any modification in the system of tithes would relieve the present distress, though some alteration might be useful. After some further observations from Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Brougham, Lord Milton, Mr. Baring, and Sir John Newport, the petitions were laid on the table. The Life Annuity Bill was read a third time and passed. The House being in a Committee on the Report of the Select Committee on the Leather Act, Mr. Lushington proposed several Resolutions as the foundation of a Bill, viz. for regulating the drawback allowed to Tanners on Leather exported ; to allow them to shave skins in the ooze; and to separate the thin from the thick part of the skill during the process of tanning; and, lastly, to allow Shoemakers the use of sumach in colouring only. — The Resolutions were agreed to, the House resumed, and leave was given to bring in a Bill founded on them. The Bill for preventing Irregularities in the Driving of Stage Coaches was brought in, read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Friday next. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12. Mr. Lambton brought in a Bill for protecting pro- perty from riotous assemblies, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on an early day. The Salt Bill and the Smuggling Bill were read a second time. LOTTERIES. Mr. Lyttleton rose to call the attention of the House to the improper and pernicious system of Lotteries at present pursued by his Majesty's Government. It was of the utmost importance, he thought, to prevent, if possible, the rising generation from being acquainted with the system of raising money by lottery, as the spirit of gambling it encouraged, as well as the general demoralization it tended to produce, were evident to the least attentive observer. As to the financial profit derived from the plan, it was plainly erroneous to assert that there was any ; and if there were, it was impossible that it could compensate for the moral de- pravity introduced by it. The system cost more than any tax that ever was levied, and not considering that, the most cruel fraud was practised upon the poor and the public at large. Illegal insurances had been in a great measure done away with; but as long us the system lasted they could not be entirely abolished. The Hon. Gentleman said, that he should take up the subject early next Session, and concluded by moving a Resolution, that Government, by upholding the system of Lotteries, had induced a spirit of gambling most pernicious to the morals of the people, and that this House would no longer sanction the system as a means of defraying the public expenditure. Mr. Barnard supported the Resolution, and depre- cated the system as disgraceful to the character of the Government, and injurious to the industry, habits, and morals of the people. The. Chancellor of the Exchequer was sure, if the system Mas such as described by the Hon. Gentleman, it would have long since dwindled away of itself. It produced 600,0001. annually to the revenue, and if the Hon. Gentleman could devise any other less in- jurious and less burdensome system of raising such a sum, he would gladly abandon it. He did not con ceive the Lottery to be a system of gambling; and if the evil of unlawful insurances could be effectually put a stop to, he did not: think it would have any injurious consequences, No person could be more anxious than he was for any measure that could tend to the morality of the people; but he really did not think that the abolition of the Lottery would have any such operation. Sir S. Romilly thought it a very bad sign of the times that there should be such a show of religion, while measures of such pernicious tendency wen up- held by those who were so loud in professions of their desire to promote morality. It was said, that the system was only raising a revenue by the consent of those who paid it; but it was luring people by false Appearances to destruction. He hoped Government would no longer uphold such a corrupting and de- moralizing system— a system of temptation and of ruin, so disgraceful to its own character, and so de- structive to the happiness and morality of the com- munity. Mr. Wilberforce could not see any system which excited a more pure spirit of gambling than this system did. It was destructive to that, spirit of sober and honest industry which was most conducive to the social happiness of the nation. It was peculiarly per- nicious to the lower orders, and it was inconsistent in the Government and Legislators of the country, who ought to be peculiarly mindful of every measure that would tend to preserve the morality of the lower lasses, first to hold out to them temptations to dis- honesty and immorality, and then to punish them. If the revenue derived from this system were ten times as much as it was, he did not think it would compensate for all its pernicious and ruinous conse- quences ; and he hoped Government would abandon a source of revenue so pregnant with disgrace to its own character, and with crime and misery to those whose interests were confided to it. Several other Gentlemen forcibly reprobated the system of having recourse to Lotteries in aid of the revenue. The House then divided— For the Resolu- tions, 21— Against them, 47— Majority, 26. The House having resolved into a Committee of Ways and Means, The Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the fol- lowing Resolution, which was agreed to :— That 3,000,0001. from the Consolidated Fund be applied to the public service. Some other Resolutions having been agreed to, the House went into a Committee of Supply, in which Lord Palmerston proposed the following Resolutions, which were agreed to:-— That 100,0001. be applied to the defraying of the charges of the disembodied militia in Ireland. That 150,0001. be applied to the defraying of the expences of the disembodied militia in England. On the Promenade of Moscow, on Palm Sunday, above 800 equipages were counted. An immense number of houses have been erected since the city was set fire to by the French, and it will soon appear in its state of former grandeur. A considerable reinforcement of Austrian troops lias been recently marched into the Neapolitan territories, and more are on their march for the same destination. The Prince of Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Minister, who is at present at Paris, has made, against, this act of hostility on the part of Austria, a strong protest; which he lias com- municated to the French' Government.— Morn. Chon. A letter of the 14th ult. from Naples, commu- nicates the following information :—" Government has laid on from this day a tax of ten per cent, on the amount of all duties; so that commerce must languish here more than ever." The accounts from Naples of the same date state, that the plague at Corfu is diminishing daily, and that at Noja very few have died within the last month. The sea cordon on account of the plague at Noja, has an extent of near 500 miles, and re- quires daily 10,500 men to occupy the posts. The town of Noja, about 1J Italian miles in circum- ference, and containing about 6,000 souls, is closely surrounded by a double cordon. All inter- course between the inhabitants and the military of the several cordons is most rigorously prohibited so that a priest from Noja, who had sold to a Nea- politan soldier a pack of cards, was shot as well as the soldier; the former after having been deprived of ecclesiastical dignity, and the soldier on the spot, The same rigorous measures are taken at Corfu.— Three English soldiers who went from one cordon to another, to see their comrades, were shot. The remainder of the Portuguese troops sent from Lisbon under a convoy, to the number of about 3,500, arrived at Rio Janeiro at the latter end of March. The Portuguese have now conveyed to the new world about 10,000 of the troops, which, under British Officers, so much distinguished them- selves in the Peninsular war. Under date of the 1st of April we learn from Rio Janeiro the unpleasant intelligence that the Captain- General of Chili had put under sequestration all the British property in that quarter. He has done the same by the Creoles at Buenos Ayres, between whom, in matters of trade, this officer makes no distinction. A letter from Hamburgh of the 4th inst. says " We expect here to- night Madame Catalani, who has been performing with great applause at Ha- nover." The Americans exult much in the capture of the Spanish pirate, Melor, by a privateer of the United States, and seem very anxious for a war with Spain, unmindful of the ruinous slate of their finances, or the outcry of the people against the insupportable weight of taxation. In fact the American nuances appear to have suffered infinitely more from their late contest with Great Britain, than ours have from a war of nearly a quarter of a century with France. By the Charleston papers of the 11th May, we regret to learn, that the condition of the British prisoners at Carthagena, in New Spain, becomes worse. About the 30th of March, eleven British and American subjects, ( chiefly Masters of vessels) broke out of prison, nine got on board of the boats of the British brig Forester, which waited to re- ceive them ; but the other two were killed. The Americans speak highly of the humane conduct of Captain Henry, of the Forester. The English subjects released by the Spanish authorities in South America, are the seamen only of vessels which were seized for having conveyed supplies to the independent forces. The merchants who were engaged in this trade, and were, upon the capture of Carthagena, treated by the Spaniards as hostile partizans, are still kept, in close confinement. The Drake, Captain Grant, which arrived recently at Portsmouth, conveyed one hundred of these seamen from Santa Martha to Jamaica; and the Forester has, we since hear, arrived there with others. Accounts from Boston mention, that private individuals of that country are fitting out an ex- pedition to aid and succour the Independent party in Chili. The exclusive system with respect to the ports of the Spanish colonies, appears to be generally and strictly carried into effect. It is particularly directed against the British trade. A letter from Cadiz, of the 17th ult. says—" It is now placed beyond doubt, that General Cienfuegos, who lately left this place for the Havannah, as Captain General of the island of Cuba, is the bearer of a peremptory order from the Spanish Government to shut ail the ports of the said island against foreign trade, and it would be possible to slate many reasons why it will be strictly complied with against British vessels." Advices from the British Consul at Barcelona were received on Monday at Lloyd's of the com- mencement of hostilities against, or rather of robberies and depredations by the Algerine pirates on the British trade. On the 16th of May an English brig loading at Oran was seized, and the Captain and crew, with the English Vice- Consul sent prisoners to Algiers. On the 17th or 18th two Gibraltar vessels arrived at or near Oran, and shared the same fate. Further advices have been received from Bar badoes to the 2d of May. A Proclamation by the Hon. J. Spooner, President and Commander in Chief, dated the 10th of April, announces the in surrection, and directs the apprehension, trial, and execution of rebellious slaves. Many were, in eon- sequence, executed on the plantations to which they belonged. Oil the 18th of April, Mr. Spooner issued another Proclamation, directing the Militia to put themselves under the King's Commander, Colonel Codd; announcing that tranquillity had been restored on many estates, and offering a free pardon to all, except such as shall be taken re- sisting in arms, or shall have been principal in- stigators or advisers of the insurrection. Five days were allowed for the submission of the negroes, and at that time the insurrection was wholly at an end. Extract of a letter from Bristol, June 10:—" A letter from a Gentleman in Barbadoes, received here, states, that in the pursuit of the negroes, a flag was found, divided into three compartments : in the first of which was painted a white man hang- ing by the neck ; in the second a black chief with a white woman kneeling at his feet, with clasped hands, imploring mercy ; in the third a black chief crowned, with a white woman at his side. It states that the insurrection was a regularly concerted plan, but that it burst forth a week before it was intended by some of the chiefs, who, having become infuriate by drink, commenced the work of deso- lation." Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales has sent from Tunis, to the care of General Pino, two young lionesses, as a present for the Emperor of Austria. They ar£' so young, that three she- goats have suckled them. Tuesday's Gazette announces the appointment of Edward Thornton, Esq. to be Ambassador to the Court of Sweden. His Excellency and family have taken their departure for that country. A Committee of Sugar- refiners have had an in- terview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer rela- tive to reducing the bounty on drawbacks, when it was arranged that, from the 5th of July next, the bounty should be 4s. per cwt. less or, single re- fined sugars, and 6s. per cwt. on double refined sugars. The election of a Member for Liverpool, in the room of Mr. Canning, who had vacated in conse- quence of his acceptation of office, commenced on Friday. Mr. Canning was put in nomination by his friends ; in opposition to this Gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Shepherd nominated Thomas Leyland, Esq. banker, of that town. This nomination was seconded by Lieutenant- Colonel Williams, and a poll was in consequence demanded. Lord Ranelagh and Stafford Canning, Esq. have been elected Honourary Members of the Board of Agriculture. The chartered ship Iris, Smith master, was last week seized, for having more passengers on board than is permitted by the Acts of the 43d and 53d of the King. By those humane laws no ship is permitted to carry more than one person for each two tons of the ship per register; and if partly laden, no more than one person for each two tons register measurement which remains unladen ; and enactments are added for providing a proper quantity of wholesome provisions for each person, and a surgeon when fifty persons are on board, and for enforcing other salutary regulations, under heavy penalties. The Iris is 342 tons burden per register; and therefore entitled to carry only 171 persons, including the crew; 131 names were given in at the Custom House, but when the seizure was made, 231 persons were found on board.— A Reverend Doctor, who lately abssonded from the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, has been found amongst the passengers on board the Iris. A young officer, who arrived at Liverpool a few days ago, from the Cape of Good Hope, on his way to England, saw Bonaparte at St. Helena, and had the opportunity of a short conversation with him. He describes the Ex- Emperor as looking rather pale and sickly, with something of the appearance of being bloated ; and understood that he was very impatient of his confinement. The Hinchinbrooke packet, which sailed from Falmouth for the Mediterranean, with mails and passengers on the 27th of April last, was lost off Cape St. Vincent's, on the 7th of May. All on board were saved, and the mail forwarded in a ves- sel hired for the occasion. Mr. Monk Lewis has returned from his voyage to the West Indies, and is preparing for a tour on the Continent. He is in good health, although looking much thinner than when he left England. On Saturday morning died, aged 87, at his house in Queen- street, May- lair, Lord Frederick Campbell, brother to the late and uncle to the present Duke of Argyll. CAUTION TO THE BENEVOLENT.— A person describing himself to be a lay- brother of the Con- vent of St. Mary, 011 Mount Simplon, in the Alps, in Switzerland, known to be a house of entertain- ment for travellers, in those snowy regions, is now soliciting assistance towards the support of this ap- parently useful institution. The applicant says that He had been travelling in this way in England and in Scotland several months, and had obtained up- wards of 5001. which, as it arose, he said, he re- mitted to Messrs. Coutts, hankers, in London. Mr. Davis, of Bath, wrote to Messrs. Coutts, re- questing to be informed whether the statement, as it related to them, was a true one ; their reply was, that the person named was unknown to them, and that he never had made any remittance to them on account of the Convent in Switzerland, as stated. It becomes necessary, therefore, to guard the public against. such systematic imposition being practised upon them. The Leicester Paper says—" It is truly distress- ing to hear of the great numbers of perons con- nected with the hosiery business, who are almost daily turned out of employment, in this town and county. We understand, that several hundreds were discharged on Saturday last, and many more are expected to share a similar fate." The Luddites in the vicinity of Nottingham have again resumed their mischievous practices of frame- breaking. About two o'clock on Sunday morning, nineteen lace frames were broken at New Radford, near Nottingham, at the lace manufactory of Mr. Waynman. The Recorder reported about twenty cases to the Prince Regent in Council on Saturday ; when Blun- der and Street, capitally convicted of a highway robbery, and the crime of cutting and maiming; under aggravated circumstances, were ordered for execution. At the conclusion of the Old Bailey Sessions on Tuesday, thirty- two convicts were sentenced to death, eighteen to transportation for life, five for fourteen years, and a great number of others to different minor punishments. As Mr. R. Lee, of North Shields, was a few days since endeavouring to save two children from being run over by a waggon, he fell under it himself, and was killed on the spot. A well- dressed young woman was on Tuesday taken out of the river Thames, near Westminster- bridge ; on her person was found a pocket- book, in which were five 11. Bank of England notes, with a banker's draft, on which was written the name of Caroline.— An inquest was held on the body, at the Blue Anchor public- house, York- street, West- minster, the same evening, when the brother of the deceased, James Finch, stated, that the deceased had been in confinement in consequence of her being in a deranged state of mind a short time ago; but, being much better, she was set at liberty, and had lately been at service in the country. It was his opinion that the deceased was deranged at the time she threw herself into the water. The Jury brought in a verdict of— Found drowned. Wednesday, a girl, only fourteen years old, who said her name was Lavinia Smith, was taken to Bow- ssreet Office for having, in company with two other girls, who made their escape, stripped herself naked in St. James's Park, and after bathing in the Canal, ran about before several persons in a most indecent manner. She would give no account of herself, except that her father was killed in the war, and that she had no mother. It appeared she had not slept in a house for a month past. She and another girl, a companion, who followed her to the Office, were committed. Lobsters were so plentiful hit week at. London, that one salesman sold a hundred; for 7s. Turbots were sold on Friday, Saturday, and Sun- day, at Gravesend, for one shitting each, sufficient for six or seven people ; at another time the like fish would have fetched a guinea, or more. A very large package, which arrived from Dieppe, at Brighton, by one of the packets, a few days ago, having been examined at the Custom- House was found to contain several models of horses' heads of a prodigious size", formed of plaster of Paris. The insignificant value of these articles, compared with the expences of their " removal, in freightage, gave rise to a suspicion in the In- spector, that occasioned them to be examined, when they were found to contain two valuable clocks, se- veral rich articles of French porcelain, silk shoes, & c. the duties upon which amount to something considerable. The invention was ingenious, and the French horses were very near passing toll- free. On Saturday last, a private and Serjeant be- longing to the 7th Veteran Battalion, having a dispute at the Red House, at Battersea, in conse- quence of the former being ordered to his quarters, he pulled out a knife, and plunged it into the body of the serjeant, who was carried on a shutter to the Duke of York's Hospital, without any hopes of recovery. The assailant is in custody. On Monday an inquest was held at the Coach and Horses public- house, Blue Anchor- alley, Bun- hill- row, on the body of Mr. G. Crew, builder, of Twiss- row, Finsbury- square, who was found hang- ing in his workshop. It appeared that the de- ceased lost his wife and three children, about six years ago, by the falling of some premises in Iron- monger- row, when five others suffered likewise; since which he had been in a desponding way, and which had been increased by the loss of two more children. Verdict— Lunacy. Tuesday, about three o'clock, a serious acci- dent had nearly occurred to the men employed in working the Regent's sewer into the Thames at Scotland yard. The tide broke in, and with great difficulty they succeeded in getting out opposite Mr. Drummond's, the banker, at Charing- Cross, being so closely pursued by the deluge that they could not wait to carry off their tools. At Hatton Garden Police Office, on Saturday, Elizabeth Price was brought up by the two John Smith's, beadles of Bloomsbury, and examined on the following charge. It appeared that the prisoner and her husband occupied a room at No. 5, Dugget's- court, Broad- street, St. Giles's, where they hud been about ten days, going out every morning and returning at night unseen by any persons in the house, the street- door being always left open for the lodgers : that the smell of carrion proceeding from this room was so offensive, that all the in- mates went to the landlady intimating their intention of quitting the house, unless the nuisance was re- moved ; the landlady accompanied them- up stairs to the prisoner's room- door, which they contrived to open, when the cause of the nuisance presented itself. The room had all the appearance of a slaughter- house. In one corner were laid over each other the carcases of fifteen dogs, all skinned, even the heads and feet, so as to prevent the bodies being identified. Four of them, which were very fat, and as big as lambs, were regularly quartered, and from the state they appeared in, it is supposed some of the flesh was used to make into cheap mutton- pies, sausages, or some such purpose. ON a dish lay some of their kidneys, and a brown pan was full of their fat. All the skins were removed. Not one was to be found in the room. In the centre of the apartment stood a post, one end made last to the floor, and the other end to the ceiling. In the side of this post was a hook, with a piece of cord fastened to it, with a noose at one end, for the purpose of hanging the dogs they brought in. There was also a large hammer, for the purpose of striking them on the head, to prevent their making a noise ; a butcher's knife, and a pair of pincers, which was used in pulling off' the skins, in this shocking stale was the apartment found. When the prisoner, Elizabeth Price, came home, and the circumstance was made known to the beadles, they took her into custody, and afterwards got a cart belonging to one Stapleton, and carried away the nuisance. The Magistrate lamented that there was not a case made out, so that he could punish the prisoner. As none of the dogs were identified, a charge could not be made out, and for the nuisance, there was no act of Parliament to au- thorise them to take cognizance of it, and the prisoner was discharged. THE LATE EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.— On Mon- day a respectable looking man, who stated his name to be Samuel Newman, was brought before the Lord Mayor, and underwent an examination, charged with being concerned in numerous for- geries which have recently been discovered in various parts of the kingdom. The following are the leading facts which have transpired : — From the evidence of Mr. Edward Pritchard, a partner in the Ross Bank, Herefordshire, it appeared, that on the 21st of May last three bills were brought to their house by a person who represented himself as belonging to the House of Burmeister and Co. London, and stated, that he wanted cash for the purpose of buying wool. These were discounted, but soon were discovered to be forgeries. A fourth bill was also discounted for the same person, but this proved to be genuine. The former amounted to 8401. and the individual received their own notes principally in payment. Mr. Pritchard was not enabled to speak to the person of the man who got the bills discovered, but the prisoner, when taken into custody, was in possession of five of the notes that had been paid in the discount.— Mr. Fry, the banker, came forward to state, that some time ago two persons had visited Swansea, where they attempted to obtain the discount lor, and otherwise circulated forged notes. In this they did not succeed, but were successful in the pur- chase of a good bill for 1611. 9s. 6d. for which they paid in lieu forged notes. These persons were afterwards traced to Exeter, where they negociated the bill. Some of the notes given in exchange fur this were also found in possession of the prisoner. The bills presented by the two persons alluded to were indorsed " John King:" and Mr. Fry had no doubt, that if time were allowed to bring the evi- dence to town, the prisoner would be identified as one of the parties, if not the actual person who had so personated King. Since the apprehension of the prisoner, his apartments had been searched, where, besides considerable property, was found a check on the House of Prescott and Co. which proved to be forged.— There was an immense quantity of bills ( forgeries) exhibited by different houses, amounting to several thousands of pounds, and the office was crowded to excess by bankers, merchants, tradesmen, & c. One banking- house, it was stated, that had been forged upon to a consi- derable extent, had consented to forego a prosecu- tion, and accepted payment for their loss. LONDON. The Duke of Wellington, who has been at Paris for several days, had an audience of the King on Friday, which lasted for two hours. An extraor- dinary degree of activity prevails in the French naval department. The Cybele frigate has sailed from Brest for Newfoundland, where she is to be stationed, with two sloops of war, for the protection of the fishery. The interior of France is represented to be in a state of perfect tranquillity. This improvement is regarded as the effect of the suppression of the late conspiracy at Grenoble, and the prorogation of the Chamber of Deputies, the debates in which tended to agitate the public mind. The Paris papers contain an announcement which is calculated to give rise to much conjecture, that the King of Bavaria has rejected the advice of his Ministers to reduce his army, and has, on the contrary, ordered it to be increased to 100,000 men, a number utterly disproportionate to the re- lative rank of his kingdom, and an amount of force apparently wholly uncalled for by any exigency.— Between Denmark and Sweden there appears a tendency to ill- will, but nothing sufficiently marked at present to indicate a rupture. An article dated Paris, June 3, says—" The most costly preparations are making for the new marriage. In the mean time, the finances are in a most sorry condition. Five- sixths of the Prefects have already informed Government, that such is the, stagnation of affairs, that, should it continue, it will be impossible six months hence for the de- partments, which they administer, to pay the or- dinary taxes, much less the contributions. There will be a great deficiency in the produce of most of the articles of revenue enumerated in the budget. Here is one instance, the Droits d' Enregistrement, rated at 140 millions, have, for the first quarter, only netted five millions. This deficiency is of course occasioned by no transference of property taking place, owing to the want of confidence in the established order of things, particularly as relating to the emigrant and ecclesiastical pro- perty." The private accounts of Talleyrand's disgrace, if not unfounded, are at least premature. He officiated at the Palace on Sunday week as Grand Chamberlain of France. Paris papers to the 7th inst. state that the Coun- cil of War appointed to try General Bonnaire and Lieutenant Meilton for the murder of Colonel Gordon, assembled on Wednesday preceding, and went, through the preliminary official docu- ments. The accused were not present. The charge is, that General Bonnaire did on the 7th of July, 1815, order or authorise the murder of Colonel Gordon, who had been sent with a flag of truce to the fortress of Conde; and that Mielton took the most active part in perpetrating the same, and in committing outrages on the person of the deceased. — The depositions of three witnesses, examined by order of the Prefect, set forth, that when the unfortunate Gordon made his appearance at Conde, he was in uniform, wearing a blue great coat. He was arrested, and brought before Gen. Bonnaire, who, after having read his papers and torn a part of them, said, " It was you who played the traitor in such and such an affair." He then tore off his epaulettes, his Cross of St. Louis, his fleur de lis, and gave orders for his being shot. One of the witnesses, on being asked whether the deceased was regularly tried by a military Com- mission, replied, that General Bonnaire, after con- versing a moment with Gordon, caused him to be shot by a battalion which had come from Paris. It was further stated in these depositions, that when Gordon was arrested, Bonnaire at first thought of releasing him, and firing upon him a gun loaded with chain- shot, when he had got a little distance. However, on second thoughts, he said, " Could he not be placed in a sale prison ?'.' upon which Miel- ton replied, " The safest way is to shoot him in- stantly." This horrible advice was taken, and Gordon received one shot in the belly, and two in the breast. His executioners divided among them 1200 francs which he had upon his person."— The public Order issued on the occasion by General Bonnaire was as follows:—" One of the traitors who deserted the French army on the 16th and 17th June made his appearance before the fortress as a crimp and a spy, the bearer of incendiary proclamations ( viz. copies of that of Cambray) : he has undergone the fate which he deserved."— The Court, having proceeded thus far in the in- vestigation of this transaction, adjourned till the ' following day. Frankfort papers to the 6th instant arrived on Wednesday. They communicate the return of the Emperor Francis to his German dominions. He is not, however, expected at Vienna until the middle of the month. The Duchess of Parma has created an order of chivalry in her new dominions, and sent a descrip- tion of it to the Chancellor of State, the Prince of Hardenberg. A Copy of the Treaty of Marriage between the Princess Charlotte of Wales and the Prince of Cobourg has just been laid before Parliament. It grants them jointly, while living, 60,0001. per an- num ; 10,0001. of which goes to her Royal High- ness as pin money, independently of her husband's control. If she becomes a widow, she will have the whole 60,0001. If he becomes a widower, he will have 50,0001. per annum. The eldest child, being presumptive heir to the Throne, must be educated as the King directs. The following Ar- ticle we copy at length:— Article V. It is understood and agreed that her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Augusta shall not, at any time, leave the United Kingdom without the permission, in writing, of his Majesty, or of the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, and without her Royal Highness's own consent. And in the event of her Royal Highness being absent from this country, in consequence of the permission of his Majesty, or of the Prince Regent, and of her own consent, such residence abroad shall, in no case, be protracted be- yond the term approved by his Majesty, or the Prince lie gent, and consented toby her Royal Highness. And it shall be competent for her Royal Highness to return to this country before the expiration of such term, either in con- sequence of directions for that purpose, in writing, from his Majesty, or from the Prince Regent, or at her own pleasure. The Treaty of Marriage is signed by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Three Secretaries of State, the President of the Council, and, on the part of the husband, by Baron de Just. In the House of Lords, on Thursday, on the order of the day for the third reading of the Civil List Bill, Lord Grosvenor repeated his former ob- jections ; declaring his conviction, that in the pre- sent state of distress and difficulty under which the country laboured, a measure calculated to increase the public burthens could neither be proper or ex- pedient. Much had been said, in the Royal speech, respecting the adoption of an economical system, but, instead of economy, a greater degree of profusion had been apparent.— The Sugar Bounty Bill, and the Rape- Seed Bill, were se- verally read a second time in the House of Com- mons.— Mr. W. Smith introduced the subject of Extents in Aid issued by the Exchequer, adduced several instances of oppressive consequences re- sulting therefrom, and moved for several documents, with a view that something might be done to prevent, as far as possible, a repetition of such grievances. The Chancellor of the Exchequer not only expressed his concurrence, but declared he had no doubt, that when this subject, came pro- perly before the Barons of the Exchequer, they would lake care that all abuses should be corrected. The Court had already interfered for that purpose, and, indeed, he should have no objection to the establishment of proper regulations on the subject. LONDON MARKETS. MARK- LANE, MONDAY, JUNE 10,1816. The market this morning was brisk, at an advance from 2s. to 3s. per quarter since last Monday, but towards the close it became dull.— Oats were a large supply, but prime samples remained full as dear as last week. — Other articles of Grain steady at Friday's prices. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12. There was but little fresh Grain of any kind to- day, the market but thinly attended, and the few sales effected were chiefly at the former prices, excepting Oats, which are brisk, and 6d. per quarter dearer. FRIDAY, JUNE 14. Our Corn Market was this day abundantly supplied with every article. Very little business has been transacted since Monday, though Grain of all descriptions was offered at a reduction of 1s. to 2s. per quarter from the quotations of that day.

Those from Paris are principally filled with the approaching marriage of the Duke de Berry; and the most eager researches have been made, that this ceremony may be conducted according to the most ancient forms of the French Court. One of the Paris papers announces that the King of Bavaria has rejected the advice of his Ministers relative to the reduction of his army, and has, on the contrary, ordered it to be increased to 100,000 men. A force so completely disproportionate to the relative extent of his kingdom, gives rise to conjectures as to the objects of such an armament, and we can only suppose that it has been occasioned by the dissatisfaction of that King at the enormous aggrandizement of Austria. The Danes and Swedes do not appear to be cor- dially friends. The Danes demand the strict exe- cution of the Treaty of Kiel, and which, it is stated, the English Government supports. These little bickerings among the minor Powers may exist, and may furnish some materials, in the absence of greater events, to interest the public mind during the present political tranquillity ; but, like the quarrels of individuals, they are of no serious mo- ment to the world at large, and will, like such, subside when the first ebullitions of their wrath Lave been expended. No official accounts have been received of the late unpleasant occurrences in the West Indies. They were noticed in the House of Commons by Lord Castlereagh ; and the details not having reached Government, induced the House to post- pone the two notices of Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Palmer on Colonial subjects for a few days.— Subsequent private letters to the first communica- tions on the subject, give us reason to hope the circumstances were exaggerated. The proof that the importation of slaves continues, notwithstand- ing the law for its abolition, is incontrovertible ; and such a disgraceful fact calls not only on the score of policy, but of humanity, that some amended regulations should be enforced, that we may stand, not theoretically, but practically the guardians of the natural rights of all, regardless of their country, their situation, or their colour. In our domestic occurrences, one demands our notice, and calls for our highest commendation : Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, has presented petitions to the House of Commons on the subject of tithes, signed not only by the persons paying, but those receiving. It is highly honourable to the Rectors of those parishes that they have joined in the prayer of their parishioners, and that they are de- sirous the subject should be investigated. We have before observed, that the rights of the Church, like the rights of any other body of individuals, cannot be by a British Parliament violated; but some provisions, alike beneficial to all, may result from inquiry. At all events, it will prove, that, while the Legislature is ready to embrace any investigation which may lend to alleviate the present distress, the Members of our venerable Church, following the tenets they profess, are friendly to any equitable commutation.

Yesterday se'nnight a County Meeting was held in the Shire- Hall, Chelmsford, pursuant to requi- sition, for the purpose of addressing the Prince Regent, the Queen, and the Princess Charlotte and Prince of Saxe Cobourg, on the recent Royal Nuptials. The High Sheriff, N. Pearse, Esq. took the chair at one o'clock, when he opened the object of the meeting in a neat address. Sir John Tyrell, Bart, then rose, and, after a short eulogium on the several branches of the House of Brunswick, to whom he should have the honour of proposing Addresses, moved three severally to the Illustrious Personages above- mentioned, which being read by the Sheriff, Mr. W. Honywood rose, and after ex- pressing his cordial concurrence in the measure proposed on this auspicious occasion, begged per- mission to second the motion of the Hon. Baronet. The High Sheriff then put the question to the assembly on each Address, when they passed unanimously by a show of hands. The Sheriff was requested to sign and present them on behalf of the county, and thanks were then voted to him for his conduct in the chair, to the mover and seconder of the Addresses, and the Meeting dissolved. On Monday last the Rev. Cuthbert Henley, A. B. was instituted to the Rectory of Rendlesham, Suf- folk, on the presentation of the King. On Monday last the Rev. James Cradocke, LL. B. was instituted to the Rectory of Hilgay, Norfolk, on the presentation of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Locke, of Farnham, Surrey. The Rev. John Short Hewett, one of the Senior Fellows of Clare- Hall, Cambridge, is presented, by the Master and Fellows of that Society, to the Rec- tory of Elmsett, near Hadleigh, Suffolk, vacant by the death of the Rev. E. Twenty man. The Lord Bishop of London, gratified, we under- stand, by the liberality and zeal with which the National Schools of the Deanery of Tending, in this county, have been established and maintained, and with the effects which these institutions, ex- tended to nearly all the parishes of the district, and comprehending upwards of 2000 children, have bad in promoting the views of the National Society in other parts of his Lordship's populous Diocese, has condescendingly expressed his inten- tion of visiting these Schools in the course of the present summer ; and of not only honouring them by bis presence, but of promoting their interests by preaching the anniversary sermon of the present year. The anniversary, it is expected, will take place about the end of the ensuing month. BEES, GARDENING, ANGLING.

French papers to the 9th inform us that the trial of General Bonnaire, and Lieutenant Mielton, his Aide- de- Camp, for the murder of Colonel Gordon at Conde, terminated at half past eight o'clock on Saturday. The Council of War then withdrew to deliberate upon the sentence, and continued shut up in their chamber until nine o'clock on Sunday morning, when they pronounced their judgment. The Aide- de- Camp, Mielton, is condemned to death, and Bonnaire to banishment. The guilt of the former was clearly established by the evidence. A difference of opinion, whether the General should share the same fate, or suffer a less severe punish- ment, caused, perhaps, the protracted deliberation. Although he might not have directly given the order to fire upon Colonel Gordon, he certainly ap- proved the deed when done, as appears by the • General Orders issued by him, announcing the fate of Colonel Gordon. After having heard his sen- tence, General Bonnaire said:—" I supplicate, and that is the only favour I ask, that they will put me to death rather than condemn me to be degraded, i have not the least reproach to make to myself."— Mielton heard his sentence read in a firm manner. It is stated that Didier was condemned at Gre- noble on the 7th, and suffered on the 8th. Several individuals at Dijon, convicted of having, before the return of the King to his capital, and since, by words spoken in public, directly provoked the citizens to arm against the Royal authority, and excited the inhabitants to arm against each other, without, however, producing any effect, have been condemned as follows :— John Ginot, the son, to ten years banishment; Pierre Sevelle, to ten years banishment; and Jerome Bonvallet, to eight years banishment. Two Ecclesiastics, for having circulated danger- ous writings, among others, a false Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, with a Commentary contain- ing dangerous doctrines hostile to the temporal authority, are now imprisoned at Rome. The Princess Charlotte has for some days been indisposed, chiefly from the effect of taking cold, which rendered confinement to her chamber ne- cessary ; but her state of health is now considerably amended. She is entirely free from fever, but suffers much from a rheumatic affection iu her head. Saturday next is said to be the day fixed for the marriage of the Duke of Gloucester with the Prin- cess Mary. Above two thousand passports have been issued to Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Manufacturers, about to proceed to the Continent, within the last month. At the close of the poll at Liverpool, on Tuesday, Mr. Canning bad a majority of 494 ; the numbers being, for Mr. Canning 1,200, and in favour of his adversary 706; the result, therefore, may be readily anticipated, though it was not precisely known on what day the poll would terminate. The Chancellor's gold medal for the best English poem, is this year adjudged to Mr. Hamilton Syd- ney Beresford, of Clare- Hall, Cambridge.— Subject, Mahomet. Thursday se'nnight, being the fourteenth anni- versary of the Braintree National Free Schools, an excellent and appropriate sermon was preached for their support by the Rev. Edmund Squire, Master of Felsted School, in this county, from Matthew, c. 18. and v. 14. Considering the extreme cold- ness of the day, and, in consequence, the thinness of the congregation, a very handsome collection was made in the church, amounting to 381. 11s. 4d. after which the children, to the number of 200, partook of a very excellent dinner provided for them en- tirely by the kindness and liberality of the principal inhabitants of the town. The evening closed with a ball at the Horn Inn, which was numerously and respectably attended. An excellent sermon, for the benefit of the Na- tional Schools in the Dunmow District, was preached at Great Dunmow Church, on Sunday last, by the Rev. W. Herringham, from the concluding words of the 15th verse of the 21st chap, of St. John, " Feed my lambs."— Although the weather was most unfavourable, and many of the neighbouring Clergy were prevented giving their attendance, by being engaged in their respective duties, yet the collection was unusually large, amounting in the whole to 271. 4s. 6d. which affords the most satis- factory proof that the severe pressure of the times has not subdued that benevolent spirit by which these useful and meritorious institutions have been hitherto supported. In the course of the day a letter was received by the Secretary, from a worthy Member of the Society of Friends, containing a do- nation of two guineas, accompanied by the follow- ing observations:—" However I may not exactly agree with every part of the system of the National Education Society, yet I always did cordially wish their undertakings success, from a full conviction, that every attempt to instruct the poor, and direct them to the paths of sobriety and industry ( and under any FORM) must tend to their advantage and comfort, both here and hereafter; I, therefore, will thank thee to hand them the inclosed donation of two guineas, with my best wishes for their pros- perity." A very handsome treat of roast beef and plum- pudding was given at Downham on the King's birth- day, by Colonel Say and Major Saffery, to the non- commissioned officers and privates of a troop of the 1st Royal Dragoons, and a company of the 69th foot, who marched into Downham for the purpose of suppressing the riots in that town and neighbour- hood ; during which time, and subsequently, their conduct has given general satisfaction to the inha- bitants. On Monday a complete new peal of eight bells, the gift of the Earl of Dysart, was opened at Hel- mingham, in Suffolk. Two barrels of ale were given by his Lordship on the occasion, which were drank in the park by a numerous assemblage of the inhabitants of that and the adjacent villages. On Thursday se'nnight the house of John Wal- ker, Ksq. of Coney, in Hertfordshire, was broken open and robbed of a large quantity of old family plate, as likewise a very ancient Bible, which had been in the family near a century. It is supposed the robbers got in through Mr. Walker's library. An inquisition was lately taken at Exiling, Suf- folk, on the body of Edward Freeman, an infant, about a year old, who was killed by his sister, a lit- tle girl about twelve years old, with whom he was in the habit of sleeping, and who accidentally lay upon the infant and smothered it. Verdict— Acci- dental Death. The following melancholy accident occurred in the afternoon of yesterday se'nnight:— As Mr. George Oldham, of Tid, near W'isbeach, was re- loading an old gun for the purpose of shooting mag- pies in a garden adjoining his house, it accidentally went off, and lodged its contents in his side, when he expired a few minutes afterwards. He was in his 61st year, and is universally regretted. MARRIED. Wednesday, Mr. Davies, surgeon, of Mile- End Road, to Miss Maria Wood fine, of Hornchurch, in this county.

FORGERY.— Thursday Mr. Robert Townsend was examined at Hatton Garden Office on a charge of forging and tittering as true, a promissory note for the sum of 7251. payable to himself, and pur- porting to be the hand- writing of Mr. Fortunatus Crisp, of Yarmouth. Mr. Crisp said he was a plumber, painter, and glazier, at Yarmouth, and was married to a sister of the prisoner. He posi- tively swore that he owed the prisoner no money, and that, he never signed the note in question.— Several witnesses, well acquainted with Mr. Crisp, swore that the signature to the note was not his hand- writing. It appeared, that in November last the prisoner went to an attorney in London, and had Crisp arrested on this very note.— He was fully committed for trial. About a fortnight ago, a fox's hole was disco- vered in one of the plantations upon the estate of Fasque, in Scotland, the property of Sir Alexander Ramsay, Bart, in which was dug out six young foxes. The young ones were all brought out to the dog- kennels at Fasque, about a mile from the place of their former abode, and fastened with chains, to prevent their escape. On the second day after they were caught, the she fox traced out their new abode; and her maternal care for her young prompted her to venture within the kennel, and suckle them ; but, on renewing her visit a second time, for the same affectionate purpose, one of the servants shot the animal dead upon the spot!

DAVISON, JUST PUBLISHED. The banded might of Europe lay; When many a shifting signal light, And many a watch- fire blazing bright, Bespoke their deep array. Then smote the dark and doubtful beam, Not on the mountain head alone, On the dull heath and cold dead stone, But, glancing far with shivering gleam, In double splendour shone; For every straggling ray that fell Was glimmer'd back more bright, From helm and crest of burnish'd brass, From blade, and car'bine, and cuirass, In flash of fitful light. No tent was spread o'er the soldier's head, The sky was his covering, the earth was his bed, And it seemed as the storms had match'd their might, Deeper to sink the gloom of the night, And make it fit herald of such a fight; For the heavens pour'd down in sheeted flood, And the earth rock'd to the thunders loud, And the lightning rode on fiery wing, On the warrior's bright mail glimmering; Yet not these signs of boding drear Could wither the soldier's heart with fear; Silent they paced round faggots that burn, . And restless they long'd for the slow- coming morn ; That morrow whose dawning to thousands shall break, Who shall sleep at its setting, ne'er more to awake. And as they moved, in darkling wise, Athwart the crested height, ' Neath the scant light they seem to rise To form of more than mortal size, A host in burning armour clad, As if in Heaven's defence array'd In arms celestial bright. No angry sound the stillness broke, Stirr'd not the breeze— no war- pipe woke Its rousing note, no trumpet spoke, And slept the heavy drum ; All bush'd beneath the sober ray, In deep and tranced silence lay; All save the distant charger's neigh, And sentinel's Minted ham. Yet scant repose were there I ween, Though all is still, and calm the scene; In such a dread appalling hour, When death in sternest mood is near, Who does not feel some secret power, That almost chills the heart with fear. Yes! there are times of dark suspense, When great events are on the eve; A thrill of agony intense, Which even daunts the brave. Yet some perchance may lightly dream, And roam in scenes of former joy; His native cot, the grove, the stream— Endear'd by memory's tendered tie. Chief, the rough soldier from thy hill, Wild Caledon! remembers still In lightsome dream, though far away. The pastimes of his earlier day ; And the dear maid he left behind, Returns all lovely to his mind, As when he bade her last adieu, When tears stood ill her eye of blue ; When maiden blush was on her cheek, And the lip shook that fain would speak, And her full heart, with every swell, Told anguish deep, unspeakable; Again it seem'd her tears he dried, And clasp'd her fondly to his side; And bush'd the tamalt of her breast, And still'd her beating heart to rest, And bade her from her sorrows turn, And bless her soldier's glad return. Anon he starts! his slumber broke, It was the deep- mouth cannon spoke; It scar'd the lovely dream away, And warn'd him for the coming fray; His heart is full— he heaves a sigh, A tear stands frozen in his eye; Yet deem not that there lay Aught in that tear of dastard fear, It was a drop to memory dear, A sigh to her that's far away! Soon from his eye the tear he dash'd, And all its fire and spirit flash'd ; And sterner feelings swell'd within, As louder rose the battle- din. COPIES OF LETTERS DESCRIBING THE UTILITY OF THOMPSON'S PATENT RUDDER. TO SHIP OWNERS, MASTERS, AND OTHERS, INTERESTED IN SHIPPING PROPERTY. JAMES THOMPSON, the Patentee of sundry Inventions and Improvements ill the roust ruction of Ships' Rudders, and for facilitating Ships' Movements, & c. begs to state that his Patent Rudder is constructed on a principle to preserve the useful area of the rud- der's action, to cause in shallow vessels the water to act on the rudder horizontally, and in all descrip- tions of vessels to remove that weight or drag which has been loo frequently mistaken for the rudder action, the removal of which considerably accele- rates the ship's steerage and sailing. He hopes, therefore, to draw the attention of the Public to a perusal of the following Reports he has received from the Masters of some of those vessels which have already been fitted with the Patent Rudder, expressing the advantages they have derived there- from. No. I. Mr. . JAMES THOMPSON, Liverpool, Map 5,1815. SIR—! arrived with the new ship yesterday, and should feel myself deficient in my duty to the Public if I were not to notice the utility of your Patent Rudder, which I find to be so fight i. i its action, and so very powerful in its erects in commanding the vessel, that, from whatever point the wind blows on her, a boy, with only one hand upon the tiller, can steer her with the greatest ease and steadiness, without moving one step beyond the midships ; nor is it necessary to give this Rudder a greater angle than two points to turn the ship with the greatest velocity imaginable, even right round, if it be required. I am sorry that I had not an opportunity, in company with other vessel's, of unshipping the dead- water relieving piece, to ascertain how much it accelerated her sailing. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, ( Signed) ROBERT BOOTH, Master of the Brig Eliza, of Yarmouth. No. II. Extract of a Letter from Captain Jan, of the Brig Two Brothers, to his Owner. Respecting Mr. J Thompson's improvement upon the Two Brother's rudder, believe me it is not in my power to do the Patentee that justice which his invention entitles him to nor shall I ever regret the cost in any vessel that I may have to do with.— Your humble Servant, SAMUEL JAY. Duncans by Head, N. E. by N. distance three leagues, May 2,1815. No III. Extract of a Tetter from Capt. H. N Hay, of the " Brig Industry, to Mr. J. Thompson, dated Lisbon, August 26. 1815. On the passage out from London to this port, I have been convinced of the great advantages of your invention; for it has given the rudder power with ease beyond con- ception. We have at different times unshipped the dead- water relieving piece; and, when unshipped, we discovered a great difference in the steerage and in the weight of the rudder, as well as in the ship's sailing; and by this proof of weight alone, we can form some idea of the advantage that the construction of the Patent Rudder has over the common rudder, even when the dead- water relieving piece is not shipped. The first time of our trying the difference we carefully hove the log, and were then going seven knots and a half: we then unshipped the dead- water relieving piece, and in a few minutes after, under the same sail, wind, and conrse, we hove the log, and went only seven knots • and we have tried it when she was going three, four, and five knots, but we have found it averaged nearly on the same proportion of distance in loss of sailing — We have, in fine weather, by way of trial, stayed the ship under the staysails and mainsail, and at other times with the main yard aback; but particularly on Friday, the 21st of July, in Start Bay, where we were laying to with se- veral sail of ships, with the wind at N. W. Waiting for the ebb tide, making to go round the Start. Yon are at liberty to use this Letter, for the information of the Public, in any way you think fit. ( Signed) H. N. HAY. No. IV. Letter from Capt. Walker, of the Ship John, of London, arrived from a Voyage to the West Indies, and bach to London. CAPT. JAMES THOMPSON, SIR, I am happy to observe that your Patent Rudder has answered far beyond my expectations, as I am con- vinced that we must have hove to in a very heavy gale of wind which we experienced from the westward, and which lasted three days, had not the alteration have been made. I have not found the difference so great in light weather, though the John at all times steers much lighter and better than she did before. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, ( Signed) T. WALKER. London, December 30, 1815. No. V. Another Letter from Capt. Hag. CAPT. JAMES THOMPSON, SIR,— I arrived on the 1st inst. with my Brig Industry from Malaga; having been, since I wrote you on the 26th August last, from Lisbon to Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga. The trials I had previously made of the advantages of your Patent Rudder, I have now the pleasure to say I have further proved at intervals, both during rough and fine weather, and I always had the pleasure to experience the utility of the invention : the more violent and boister- ous the wind and weather have been, the greater and more powerful I have found the effects of it. I am, Sir, most respectfully yours, ( Signed) H. N. HAY. London Dock Buoy, Jan. 4, 1816. No. VI. CAPT. JAMES THOMPSON, London, Jan. 5,1816. SIR,— Having heard of the utility of your Patent Rudder, I was determined, as the expence in alteration of the common rudder was trifling, to have the same applied to the vessel I now command. Both passages out and home to St. Petersburgh having been made in such boisterous weather, ( although a particular desire,) I have been pre- vented from trying those experiments to the extent that I have wished; but have still pleasure to say that it possesses great advantages, and that the vessel steers at all times with the greatest ease, answers the helm quickly, and, although a shallow vessel, I have been always able to stay her in the most cross seas, even when the greater part of the other ships in company have been obliged to wear. Wishing an opportunity to try the further extent of your Patent, I am, Sir, yours, most respectfully, ( Signed) G. P. NIGHTINGALE, Master of the Brig Betsey, of London. No. VII. CAPT. JAMES THOMPSON, London, Jan. 15,1816. SIR,— The four passages I have made with the Duke of York Cutter under my command, to and from Rotterdam, fitted with your Patent Rudder, have convinced me of its great utility, particularly in rough weather, though at all times the Cutter sails faster. I now find there is not that danger to be feared to which sharp- built vessels were ex- posed by the common rudders, when they are in the wind with stern way; for the power of the Patent Rudder is so great, that it will pay any vessel off before she can have sufficient velocity to cause her situation to become dan- gerous.— I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, JOSEPH ELLIS, Master of the Duke of York Cutter, of London. No. VIII. H. M. P. Prince of Orange, 10th June, 1816. SIR— The great advantage of your Patent Rudder in blowing weather, and the different situations the Prince of Orange packet has been placed in since it was fitted to her in September last, has been most satisfactorily proved by my own experience; and I have great pleasure in stating, that, from its peculiar construction, it prevents any dead water from collecting; consequently it feels extraor- dinarily light, and materially accelerates the ship's move- ments in steering as well as sailing. In short, its efficacy so far exceeds the idea I had of its utility, that I am confi- dent it requires but to be practically known to he generally adopted.— I am, Sir, your very obedient Servant, THOMAS BRIDGE, Capt. Thompson, Patentee, Sen. Captain. Harwich. The charge of a grant for the use of this Invention is One Guinea for every Twenty- five Tons a ship enters into in her register measurement; for which fee the Patentee will also give his personal attention to direct and superintend the fitting any vessel therewith. He expects to remain in Harwich a few days, where he will be happy to give every further requisite information to persons desirous of taking the advantages his plans possess for any description of vessels; or at any other time, by applying to him at No. 37, Crutched Friars, London; to Mr. John Draper Thompson, Ship's Agent, Liverpool; or to Mr. Simon Thompson, Yarmouth. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON SEEDS AND WOOL, & c. The Select Committee appointed to examine into the policy of imposing an increased duty on the import of Foreign Seeds, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House— Having submitted to the House the result of their inquiries upon the inexpediency, under the present circumstances, of introducing any altera- tion in the laws affecting the import and export of Wool, as well as their opinion of the necessity of raising the import duty upon Rape Seed to 101. per last, proceeded to an examination of the other subjects referred to their consideration, and have come to the following Resolutions:— Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Committee, that any legislative interference which might affect the supply of Linseed, Clover Seed, and smaller seeds, would not hold out such a prospect of relief to the agricultural interest as to induce your Committee to recommend measures which they find likely, in some degree, to affect the manufacturing and commercial relations of the country; but that your Committee are of opinion, that the removal of the duties now levied on Rape Cake and Linseed Cake imported, would have a beneficial effect upon the agriculture of the country, and tend materially to increase the quantity of grain for the supply of the home- market. Resolved, That it appears to this Committee, that neither the soil nor the climate of this country are ill- adapted to the cultivation of tobacco; but the diffi- culties which would attend the collection of a duty in tobacco grown at home, and the temptation which would be held out to defraud the revenue, so long as the present duties on Tobacco imported continue to be levied, are such as to induce your Committee to be of opinion, that no alteration, under the present cir- cumstances, should be made in the laws relating to Tobacco. THE NEW COINAGE. It appears to be the evident intention of Mi- nisters to adopt an issue of twenty- shilling pieces in lieu of guineas, so obviously adapted to simplify, by decimal calculation, the accounts and dealings of the country at large. The use of gold pieces of this value in England, may be traced back to ancient times. They were first introduced in the reign of Henry VII. and were afterwards coined in the reigns of the first James and Charles, under the successive denomination of Units and Laurels; and in the time of the Commonwealth, in 1649, not only twenty but ten and five shilling pieces were coined, and proved of the highest utility to the customary intercourse and accommodation of trade in all its branches. It would be extremely dif- ficult, if not altogther impossible, to find any scale for estimating, even in a loose way, the amount of the guineas still left in the United Kingdom. An opinion prevailed at the beginning of the French Revolution that the number was little short of thirty millions, but from the vast exportation for Continental subsidies, for the payment of our armies abroad, and for other national purposes, but more especially from the immense quantity melted down in the French Mint since the year 1800, it is now supposed, by those best conversant in this subject, that there is not at this moment, including those in the possession of the Bank, in the whole range of the British empire, an existing surplus of two millions. The amount melted down in the French Mint is stated to be little short of fifteen millions. That they were also used in the Mints of other countries there can be no doubt. A correct statement of the circumstances attend- ing the coinage in 1778 cannot be uninteresting to the Public. The quantity of gold then called into the Mint, by Proclamation, amounted to 15,563,5931. 10s. 8d. The expence incurred by the nation on this occasion was— £ . t. d. Expence to the Bank for melting 16,786 14 6 Deficiency in melting 317,314 Oil Interest of money advanced to the holders of Gold Coin 231,982 17 7 To the Master of the Mint, for the charge of re- coining ... 115,459 12 9 To persons in different counties appointed to take in and exchange the Gold Coin, and other charges 72,476 8 0 Total Expence 754,019 19 9 In the course of the same year a trial of the pyx of all the monies coined in the Tower since Midsum- mer, 1774, was made before the Lords of the Privy Council, when the gold monies were found to be perfectly agreeable to the standard plates kept in the Exchequer for that service. It was also ascer- tained that twenty millions and a half of guineas and hall guineas had been coined in his Majesty's Mint since the beginning of 1772. SINGULAR CHARACTER. On Tuesday, the 28th of May, died, at her house, No. 12, Cold- bath- square, at the very advanced age of 116 years, Mrs. Jane Lewson, commonly called Lady Lewson, from her very eccentric manner of dress. In recording this instance of unusual longe- vity, some account of her may not, perhaps, be un- interesting to our readers.— Mrs. Jane Lewson was born in the year 1700, during the reign of William and Mary, in Essex- street, in the Strand, of most respectable parents, of the name of Vaughan, and was married at an early age to a wealthy gentleman named Lewson, then living in the house in which she died. She became a widow at the age of 26, having only one daughter living at the time. Mrs. Lew- son being left by her husband in affluent circum- stances, preferred to continue single, and remained so, although she had many suitors. When her daughter married, being left alone, she became fond of retirement, and rarely went out, or permit- ted the visits of any person. For the last 30 years she had kept no servant, except one old female, who died ten years ago; she was succeeded by the old woman's grand- daughter, who got married about three years since; and she was succeeded by an old man, who attended the different houses in the square, to go on errands, clean shoes, & c.— Mrs. Lewson took this man into her house, and he acted as her steward, butler, cook, and housemaid, and ( with the exception of two old lap- dogs and a cat) he was her only companion. The house she occupied was large, and elegantly furnished, but very ancient; the beds were kept constantly made, although they had not been slept in for about 50 years. Her apartment being only occasionally swept out, but never washed, the windows were so crusted with dirt, that they hardly admitted a ray of light. A large garden in the rear of her house was the only thing she paid attention to; this was always kept in good order, and here, when the weather permitted, she enjoyed the air, or some- times sat and read, of which she was particularly fond ; or else chatted on times past with any of the few remaining acquaintances whose visits she per- mitted. She seldom visited herself, except at Mr. Jones's, a grocer, in the square, with whom she dealt. She had for many years survived every in- dividual of her relatives within many degrees of kindred. She was so partial to the fashions that prevailed in her youthful days, that she never changed the manner of her dress from that worn in the reign of George the First. She always wore powder, with a large tete, made of horse- hair, on her head, near half a foot high, over which her hair was turned up; a rap over it, which knotted under her chin, and three or four curls hanging down her neck. She generally wore silk gowns, and the train long, with a deep flounce all round, a very long waist, and very tightly laced up to her neck, round which was a kind of ruff or frill. The sleeves of her gown came below the elbow, from each of which four or five large cuff's were attached. A large straw bonnet, quite flat, high- heeled shoes, a large black silk cloak, trimmed round with lace, and a gold- headed cane, completed her every day costume for the last 80 years, and in which she walked round the square, on which account she was known by the name of Lady Lewson. Her manner of living was so methodical, that she would not drink her tea out of any other than a favourite cup. She was equally particular with respect to her knives, forks, plates, & c. At breakfast she ar- ranged, in a particular way, the paraphernalia of the tea- table ; at dinner she also observed a gene- ral rule, and always sat in her favourite chair. She always enjoyed an excellent state of health, assisted in regulating her house, and never had, until a lit- tle previous to her decease, an hour's illness. She entertained the greatest aversion to medicine, and, what is remarkable, she cut two new teeth at the age of 87, and never lost one in her life, nor was she ever troubled with the tooth- ache. Her sight latterly failed her. She lived in five reigns, and was supposed the most faithful living historian of the age, the events of the year 1715 being fresh in her recollection. A few days previous to her death, an old lady, who was her neighbour, died suddenly which had such an effect on her, that she fre- quently said her time was also come, and she should soon follow. She enjoyed all her faculties until that period, when she became weak, took to her bed, and refused medical aid. Her conduct to her few distant relations was exceedingly capri- cious ; she would never see any of them; and it was not until a few hours before her dissolution, that any alteration was observed in her temper.— She was buried in Bunhill- fields burying- ground. The funeral consisted of a hearse and four, and two mourning carriages, in which were Mr. An- thony, of Red Lion- street, Clerkenwell, her exe- cutor, and some relations. The following is an extract of a Circular, ad- dressed to the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes:— Office for Taxes, 29th Mag, 1816. Gentlemen— I am directed by the Board to transmit to you the copy of a letter from Mr. Lushington, dated the 24th inst. stating— That the Lords of the Treasury are of opinion, that warehouses employed solely tor the purpose of lodging goods, wares and merchandize, should be exempt from the house and window duties, notwithstanding the same mag hare been heretofore used as a dwelling- house, and that their Lordships have it in contemplation to recommend such exemption to Parliament; and expressing the desire of their Lordships, that until the pleasure of Parliament shall be known, the duties in question should not be enforced on warehouses so situate ; and I am di- rected by the Board to request that, in conformity to the desire of their Lordships, instructions may be given to the Collectors not to enforce the duties on warehouses de- scribed as above.— I am Gentlemen, your's. & c. ( Signed) M. WINTER, Secretary for the Affairs of Taxes. A new discovery in Aerostatics is soon likely to be exhibited to the public, by Mr. M. S. J. Pauly, civil engineer, and Dr. Egg. A balloon, which they have for some time been preparing, will be capable of being steered at pleasure, similar to vessels at sea, in a horizontal or vertical direction, without losing either gas or ballast. It is in the shape of a fish, being intended to act upon the air in the same manner as a fish acts on the water, and will carry from three to four persons with safety. APPLE TREES.— The following recipe has been used many years, with success, by an experienced farmer in Somersetshire :—" To every acre of orchard take a load of muck- straw or orts raked from the grass fields; lay it in six or eight heaps, into which divide a pound of sulphur. Endeavour to choose a clear day to burn it, with a brisk air, and it will not only destroy the insects in the bud, but kill all worms and other insects that breed under most of the trees and bark." MANGEL WURZEL.— The advantages attending the culture of this root ought to be more generally known. Its nutritious properties may be esti- mated from the following fact:— A cow that was bought in September last, for ten guineas, was put up to feed in November by Mr. Swann, of Ensham, in the county of Oxford, and was killed a few days ago, when the weight of the four quarters proved to be 1016 pounds, averaging 12 score 14 pounds per quarter. The meat was particularly fat and fine. The animal was fed on hay and Mangel Wurzel, excepting that it had in the whole one quarter of barley meal; hut it gave a decided pre- ference to the Mangel Wurzel, of which cows, sheep, colts, and pigs will eat voraciously; and as a good crop will yield 50 tons per acre of this variety of the Beet Root, its utility, as Spring food for cattle, as well as for fattening, must be very apparent. By taking- up the crop in the month of November, and stacking it secure from frost, it is proved that the roots will keep in perfection until June, at least. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— On Monday was landed at Portsmouth, from the Medical depart- ment of Albany Barracks, in the Isle of Wight, and conveyed to the Guard- house on the Parade, William Drake, a soldier of the African corps, whose singular case has excited a considerable degree of public curiosity. He has been lying under the care of medical attendants the long space of four months and twelve days, in a state ( or feign- ing to be so) of total insensibility, exhibiting only symptoms of life. When viewed at the Guard- house, he appeared as if in a natural sleep, breath- ing slowly, his skin moderately warm, pulse regular, limbs flaccid, and moveable in every direction : the pupil of the eye obeyed the stimulus of light, con- tracting and dilating as it was admitted or with drawn. He had, a short time previously, swal- lowed some bread and milk. A medical gentle- man placed his hand on one of his temples, and with the other attempted to open the mouth, by pressing down the lower jaw; but the temporal muscle was instantly thrown into action, and the jaw firmly closed. This circumstance was consi- dered by the medical gentleman as extremely in- dicative of imposture. We have heard that since his conveyance to Hilsea he has withstood pretty firmly the shower- bath and electricity; but that, on a proposal being made to apply a red- hot iron to his skin, his pulse rose fifteen or twenty beats in the minute. It is the opinion of a medical gentleman who has had some experience in the detection of simulated diseases, that had this man been in any but a feigned state of insensibility or sleep, during so long a period, there would by this time have occurred a derangement of functions, and a train of phenomena very different from what are now exhibited. He is a native of Wimbourn, in Dorsetshire; was sentenced to be transported for poaching, connected with other crimes; but which sentence was afterwards commuted to his serving in the African corps for life. Being conveyed to Guernsey, which is the depot of that regiment, he soon discovered these signs of catalepsy, or insen- sibility, and he has hitherto withstood all the efforts of medical persons to rouse him from it. A Board of Medical Officers has been directed to be held upon his case. A short time ago, Mr. Robert Scott, expectant Officer of Excise, Beith, in Scotland, when sur- veying at Lochwinnoch, received information of an illegal still in that neighbourhood, and proceeded in search of it, with the assistance of Lieutenant Arthur, and three non- commissioned officers of the 2d battalion of Renfrew Local Militia. After wandering a considerable time, they at last dis- covered the object of their pursuit, about five miles north- west of Lochwinnoch, situated in a deep glen, at the bottom of a huge rock, so ingeniously constructed, that no person could have suspected such a thing at two yards distance. There was no cart could be got within a mile of it; the opening was completely covered with burnt heath; the entry into it descended from the hill by a ladder, and from that into the cave by a sack, the open- ing being filled with heath. Notwithstanding the difficulty of access, the smugglers had carried on their trade to a great extent. Nine large ferment- ing tuns, a considerable quantity of wash, malt, and utensils, were obliged to be destroyed on the spot, from the difficulty in getting them taken away; what was possible the party carried to the Excise Office, Beith. The attention of the American Astronomers is occupied by some spots that have recently appeared on the sun's disk. Some think that they are parts of a comet passing over the sun; others are of opinion that they are fixed spots attached to the body of that luminary, and inherent in its surface. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— A poor man, with his wife and five children, were recently travelling along the great road between Dublin and London, which passes through that part of Scotland, called Galloway, and not being able to procure lodging, had, According to their custom in such eircum- stances, erected a sort of tent ( for which they car- ried about with them the materials) in a sand- pit, by the side of the road, where they meant to pass the night. A quantity of gravel and sand, loosened by the fire which they had Kindled in the evening to cook their victuals, had, in the course of the night, fallen from the bank, and suffocated the whole family ! The accident was not discovered till half past ten o'clock the next morning ( Sunday se'nnight.) PETTY SWINDLING.— For some time past a gang of petty swindlers daily parade St. Paul's Church- yard ; whose practice is, when they fall in with a rustic, to pretend old acquaintance with him, and then, under pretence of taking a glass together, to inveigle him into a public- house in the vicinity of Bow- lane. There they induce him to gamble, by making him believe that he is going to take in a stranger. The result is, that the biter is bit, and the novice is convinced, too late, that his old country acquaintance is a sharp and a cheat. Several instances have recently occurred, in which even many Yorkshiremen have been thus duped. If this should be thought strange, it may be answered, with great truth, that the swindlers are Yorkshire too, and have the advantage over their countrymen of a London education. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.— At Guildhall, on Sa- turday, C. Hawkins, alias Herbert, a youth of about twelve years of age, of most interesting ap- pearance, and of respectable parents, was brought up and underwent a final examination, charged with being concerned in robbing the house of the Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Merchant Tailors' School, of a quantity of jewellery; viz. a brilliant, and other diamond rings, two costly brooches, a necklace, a gold locket, a cross, an onyx, and various other ar- ticles of great value, the property of Miss Moore. A young lad, named Lee Singleton, and a girl, named Maddocks, servant to Mr. Wilson, were also charged as being concerned with Hawkins in this robbery. From the evidence of the several witnesses, it appeared, that a few weeks since, the toilet- drawer of Miss Moore, sister to Mr. Wilson, in whose house she lived, was broken open and rob- bed of the property enumerated. No trace what- ever could be made of the depredators, nor were any of the inmates of the house at first suspected. Con- cluding, therefore, that the house had been entered clandestinely by some stranger, a description of the stolen articles was made out, and circulated, and a reward offered for the apprehension of the offenders. In a few days after this circumstance, the prisoner Hawkins went to the house of Mr. Chater, a pawnbroker, in the city, and tendered a brilliant diamond ring for pawn, asking upon it the loan of 101. this was refused, as being too much, and the prisoner departed. Being known, however, at the house mentioned as a constant visitor in pledging goods, notwithstanding his youth ( representing at all times that he did so on the part of his father and mother) it was deemed necessary to give no- tice of the circumstance to Mr. Wilson, and in con sequence he was taken into custody, when the identical brooch belonging to Miss Moore was found in his possession. He was then questioned where he got it, but this he would not answer, nei- ther could any satisfactory information be obtained from him as to where he lived. After giving several false directions and telling various storiev, all of which proved to be untrue, it was at length discovered that he was the son of a Mrs. Hawkins, or Herbert, in the Adelphi; that he himself lodged in the house of a Mrs. Williamson, in Jury- street, Aldgate; and that he was daily employed in the counting- house of a most respectable firm in St. Mary- at- Hill. — To the. latter place, Mathews, the officer repaired, and having examined his desk, found in it a du- plicate for the most valuable article of all Miss Moore's losses, namely, a brilliant diamond ring, and that which had been refused to be taken at the house of Mr. Chater. This was now discovered to have been pledged at the house of a Mr. Barber, in the Borough. Beside this were found in his possession nearly twenty other duplicates for pro- perty of all descriptions, principally jewellery.— There was also found in his desk a pocket- book, containing letters, passports, and other documents of a foreigner of consequence, and which have since been lodged at the office of Lord Sidmouth— several new books ( claimed by his mother), a case of pistols, elegantly finished, a telescope, and nume- rous other articles ; all of which have been adver- tised, in hope of bringing the owners forward, but this resource failed. There were likewise found a phosphorus box, and instruments calculated to open the locks of drawers, & c.— With regard to the actual property of Mr. Wilson and Miss Moore, the prisoner refused to give any other account than that he received not only this but all the other things, except the books, which were found in his posses- sion, from the boy before named, Singleton. The latter person was in consequence apprehended, and he confessed his knowledge of, and acquaintance with, the prisoner. He admitted also, that he had given him many months since, one or two trifling ar- ticles, but denied mo; t solemnly ever having seen or known of the article; belonging to Miss Moore be- fore ; neither had he seen or conversed with the prisoner since the month of February. The domes- tics of Mr. Wilson were severally examined, but little was elicited from the investigation, except that, from the prevarication of the prisoner Mary Mad- docks, on being questioned, it was thought neces- sary to take her into custody. Not the slightest degree of proof, however, could be adduced to cri- minate this young female, and she was discharged. The prisoner Hawkins had nothing to say in his defence beyond a repetition of what he had before declared, that the boy Singleton had given him the property, of which, however, he could produce no proof. The mother of the former said, she was prepared to shew that a very recent connection had existed between the two boys ; and upon the Soli- citor for Singleton undertaking to produce him upon the trial, that youth was discharged, and Hawkins was fully committed.
