Long details are given on two subjects of little interest to English readers, and of which, therefore, we have inserted the shortest accounts • we could find— we mean the route chalked out for the Duke- of Augouleme, in his tour to the western departments, and the ceremonv of pray- ing for tire repose cf the soul of the hi. • Queen of France. The sham Dauphin is to be brought before the Correctional Police, at Rouen. The Municipal Councils arc, in the greater part of France, consulting - the means of providing em- ployment and subsistence tor lite poorer classes during the approaching winter. Among thear- ticlcs quoted by the French Journalists from German Papers, one insinuates, that the Pacha of Egypt not only intends to assert his indepen- dence of the Porte, but that he also meditates the conquest of the piratical States of Tripoli, Algiers and Tunis, li- e is said to have made overtures to the European Courts upon this sub- ject ; and his agents in Sweden and other conn tries have been purchasing large quantities of artillery and ammunition. The European States will certainly purchase the suppression of those nests of banditti at a cheap rate, if their simple acquiescence in the proposed enterprise is all that the Pacha requires of them. The report of the Senate of Hamburgh having offered an annual tribute fo this country, for protecting its commerce against the Barbary corsairs, is contradicted; and, it is said, that the Senate, we apprehend without knowing why or where- fore, has become a party to the Holy Alliance. The French Conventionalist, Lawrence, has been seized on the Savoy territory, and sent a prisoner to Turin. The French funds are looking up- wards. HAMBURGH MAIL. A mail arrived on Tuesday from Hamburgh. From the Papers by this conveyance, ii appears, that the Turks have purchased a temporary for- bearance of hostilities on the part of the Russi- ans, by agreeing lo the new line of demarcation in Bessarabia, proposed by Ihe latter. The pretence of rounding and squaring, aud expand- ing territorial dominion to certain assumed na- tural limits , was well known to the Russian Statesmen long before the French Revolutio- nists thought of employing il as an apology for their iniquitous aggressions ; and the former have, by no means, shewn any disposition to abandon it, notwithstanding the long train of calamities which it has brought upon Europe. The only difference between the unprincipled policy, of Russia and that of revolutionary France, is, that the Russian Autocrates have felt their way with greater precaution and cer tainty ; never losing sight of the ultimate object of their ambition, but making only such occasi- onal advances towards it as existing circum- stances admitted. This is the course which the Russians have successfully pursued with regard to Sweden, Poland, Turkey, and Persia. Their ambitious strides towards the westward may, for the present, be retarded by the formidable military attitude of Austria and Prussia; but with regard to their Mahometan neighbours as no such obstacles intervene, they may with greater confidence resume, at less distant inter- vals, their career of progressive conquest. The King of Prussia has published an invitation to the Lutherans and Calvinists in his dominions to generalise, at the ensuing secular festival of the Reformation, that union which has already been effected in particular places ; and as a mark ofhis appropation of such a measure, he announces his intention of taking the sacrament on the festival alluded to, with the Evangelical Christian congregation at Potsdam. Iiis Ma- jesty, however, evinces a due respect to the conscientious scruples of individuals in, at the same time intimating to his subjects, that he does not intend to force the recommended junction upon them, nor to make any Ordinance upon the subject. The affair of Col. Massenbach will, probaljy, soon be decided. The Commissioners appointed to investigate it, had left Berlin for Custrin, where the Colonel is imprisoned. India.— Captain all, of his Majesty's ship : Lyra, has arrived With dispatcher from the Go- vernor General of India stating that the Mah- rattahs had suddenly, commenced hostilities against us. The following are fort her parti < > i hits of this unexpected event, which, howevr when the dispatches came away, had iermiitaU i; in pacific arrangements:—- " Captain Hall had been sent from Calcutta, wilh dispatches from the Marquis of Hasting but upon touching at Madras, he was stopped by the Governor, Mr. Elliott, for the purpose of bringing dispatches, containing the unexpected and important news of war having broken out against us in the dominions of the Peishwa. — The Honourable Mr. Elphinstone, our resi- dent at Poonah, had long suspected the intenti- ons of the Peishwa to be hostille.— In conse- quence, as soon as the war had broke out, he seized the person of the Peishwa, and commit- ted him to safe custody. It was in the province of Cuttack, also, that war broke out, and the communication from Calcutta to Madras had been intercepted for 21 days. The leader of the Mahrattas in the Peishwa's dominions Trini- buk jee, a man well known to all acquainted with our affairs in that part of the world.— Scindia and Meer Khan were expected to declare them selves against us forthwith, and the war was expected to be on the most extensive scale. No accounts had yet been received relative to Hol- kar. " Sir John Malcolm had been to Calcutta, and had returned to Madras to assume a very impor- tant command. " The Marquis of Hastings aud Mr. Elliott were both engaged in putting forth all the mili- tary means at their disposal. " We find iu addition, that our troops having about the 8th of May last, surrounded Poo nah, and taken the Peishwa, compelled him to accede to the terms offered to him, and to give up three of his chief forts. " Captain Hall left Calcutta on the 19th of April ; Madras on the 1st of June ; and St. Helena on the 14th August. He brought dis- patches not only from the Marquis of Hastings and Mr. Elliott but also from Governor Far- qubar and Sir Hudson Lowe." TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON. Derby, Tuesday, Oct. 21, Five o'Clock,- p. m. The trial ot Wm. Turner, Which commenced yester- day . was continued this day : the Court met at its usual hour ot'S o'clock, and the business proceeded imme- liately ; Wm. Turner looked even more dejected than yesterdav. Mr. Cross then addressed the Jury. His speech was much more striking than the previous one: he professed, indeed, that both himself and his learned Friend had despaired of success in the former case, 011 account of the taint of murder which was upon, and the general ferocity of the prisoner's character; whereas they both trusted that, in the present instance, the sim- ple ' question of whether the facts proved amounted to - ranch, iny dread ful situation ; but I hope God will beyottr friend— and Wednesday night were received the Paris Pa- pers of Sunday last, and Thursday morning those of Monday, from which are the following ex- tracts : — " Paris Oct. 13— Yesterday, after mass, the King received the Ambassadors, Ministers, Mar- shals Peers, Deputies, Officers, & c. " The Duchess de Berry is indisposed, but not at: all dangerously. " We learn from Commercy, that in the night between the 14th and 15th inst. the vines were nearly all destroyed bv the frost. Iu the De- partment of Cher, 011 the contrary, the weather has, favoured the maturity of the grape. We learn from Bourses, that the vintage of the de- partment would be every where finished by the 20th.— The last letters from Cadiz announce the entire tranquillity of Mexico. " The powder- mill called Saint Louis, at Tou- louse, blew upon the lltli inst.; but fortunately W'iiout much damage — one workman had his arm and leg scorched. The quantity of gun- powder in it was about 200 kilogrammes, " A fire broke out yesterday in the Rue St. Germain 1' Auxerrois, occasioned by some chil-, dren, who had been imprudently left with i\ lighted candle, setting fire to a straw bed. The mother rushed into the midst of the flames to save her infants, but would have perished had ft not been for the prompt assistance of her neighbours and iu particular of a young man the son of a locksmith ; he got in at the window, and successively carried out the grand- mother, the mother, and the children. " Petersburgh, Sept. 24.— They write from Tobolsk, under date of the 1st of August ( O. S-) that the inhabitants of Beresow have had no Summer this year, the cold weather having con- tinued till ihe 2d July ( O. S.) the period at which ihe Summer ordinarily terminates. On fhe 18th July, there fell at Oddorsl such a quan- tity of Snow, that it lay two inches deep upon the ground. " Constantinople, Sept. 30.— The revolt of Tusdchi- Oglou of Dshanik has induced the Porte lo make great preparations against him ; a number of Marines lately enrolled, are to em- bark without delay to co- operate in reducing him to submission.— The new fortifications at the Dardanelles, and the repairs of I he old works are nearly finished.— Notwithstanding the heavy rains here during Ihe first half of this month, 1 lie state of health of the Capital is not ameliorated. Several persons fall every day victims lo Ihe plague, not only in the City itself, but also in the suburb^ of Pera and Galata, at Berjukdere, and along the Canal. " Valenciennes Oct. 14.— The Count de Wo- ronzow, yesterday after the review of the Rus- sian corps d'armee, gave a magnificent repast of 80 covers at Quesnoy at which the Duke and Duchess of Wellington, the Duchess of Rich- mond, and a great number of Generals and su- perior officers were present. To- morrow after the review of the English troops, the Duke of Wellington gives a superb file at the Chateau of Mont St. Martin, to the Generals, superior Officers and other persons of distinction. " Petersburgh, Sept. 24.— The Grand Duke Nicholas is on the eve of his departure with the Grand Duchess Alexandra, and Prince Wm. of Prussia, to proceed to Moscow. The two Empresses will follow shortly afterwards. The august travellers will join each other at Klies, CO wrests from Moscow. They w ill make their entry together into that ancient capital of the Russian Empire, wilh a suite which will require 500 horses from each of the last three post stations, " Stutgard, Oct. 13.— We learn from Urach, that on the evening of the 5th snow fell 011 the mountains and the next morning 2, § inches deep, l) u1 it melted in the course of the day. On ( he 7th there was another fall of snow. This early winter will be more injurious, as great part of the harvest is not yet got in. Snow has also fallen in the neighbourhood of Bayreuth." On the subject of the difference between Spain and Portugal, the following statement has been inserted, from authority, in two Ministerial Evening Papers:—" Much uneasiness has been excited in the public mind by the reports which arrived from Spain and Portugal, with respect to the march of troops on the frontiers of those kingdoms. It is well known that unfriendly discussions have for a length of time existed between the Courts, occasioned by the advance of the Portuguese forces on the left bank of the River Plate: but we are sure it will be satisfac- tory to the Public to learn, ou information on which they may entirely rely, that both of those Governments have agreed to accept the mediation of the five Powers, who are parties to the Grand Alliance: and we qiay, therefore, look with confidence to the speedy and amicable termination of all those differences which were tending to disunite the Crowns of Spain and Portugal, It is with peculiar satisfaction that we feel ourselves enabled to make this statement, which must certainly remove all uneasiness 011 the subject." A Russian Armament, consisting of seven sail of the line, with a large body of troops on board, not fewer than 10,000, is said to be confidently expected at Portsmouth. If this expectation be well founded, ( here may lie some truth in the report that Russia has actually engaged to assist Spain in the recovery of her revolted Colonies. — But as it is well known that Russia had endeavoured to obtain tbe co- operation of other Powers in ridding the Mediterranean of the vast number of Freebooters by whom it has been so disgracefully infested, the squadron may be intended for this object. It is added, that Contracts have been entered into in order lo supply the Russian licet with provisions while it remains in our Port. On the 12th inst. Prince Eugene Beauharnois laid with great pomp Hie foundation ofthe Pa- lace which he is to build at Munich and which will rival the finest palaces of Rome and Venice in beauty and grandeur. Prince Eugene still refuses to sell his fine Chateau of Malmaison, near Paris. It is said that even the Duke of Berry has made him offers for it. On Thursday morning last, an immense whale was found at sea by the fishermen of North Sunderland, which after great exertion they succeeded in towing 011 shore at the pier of that place. Crowds of people have been viewing this stranger on the coast of Northumberland. The Gazette of Tuesday night contains ab- stracts ofthe several Acts of Parliament for pre- venting artificers and manufacturers from leav- ing the kingdom, and exercising their avocations in foreign countries. The penalties on those who are in anywise concerned 01 instrumental in enticing persons of that description lo quit the realm should be well known. For the infor- mation, therefore, of those interested, we shall enumerate the penalties lo which an infringe- ment on the laws of the realm may expose well- meaning, though mistaken individuals. An ar- tificer contracting to leave the country is liable to a fine not exceeding One Hundred Pounds for the first offence, with three months'impri- sonment, and further confinement till the fine is paid. An artificer when abroad, and not re turning when legally summoned, is exposed to all the pains and penalties of outlawry, Persons seducing artificers to leave the realm, are liable to a penalty of „£ 500. for the first offence, and i' 1000. for subsequent offences, besides 2 years imprisonment in the county gaol, and further imprisonment till the fine is discharged. Any person attempting to export tools or utensils, is liable to a penally of £ 200. one- half of which is to go to the officer seizing the same. Other pe- nalties are inflicted 011 the Captains of vessels who may be privy lo such transactions, and up- on any Officer of Customs knowingly suffering such- entry of such goods to be passed. By se- veral Acts passed in the reign of his present Majesty, persons engaged itj packing or export ing any implements or utensils, ate liable to the same penalties. By the last letters from Malta it appears the Earl and Couutess of Craven and family had been at Venice, Corfu, and Zante, and that they were about to go from Malta to Syracuse, Cata- nia and Palermo, and afterwards to Rome, Flo- rence, and Leghorn ; and then to return to Na- ples, where lliey would remain until the Spring, The Noble Earl had been slightly indisposed, but was quite well again. The Couutess and family and the rest of his Lordship's party were all iu good health. The late Sultana Valide, mother of the Grand Seignior, who recently died at Constantinople, was, it is stated in a French Paper, a Creole, born at Martinique, the daughter of respectable patents. On her voyage to France, for the pur- poses of education, the merchant vessel, on board which she was a passenger, was captured by au Algerine Corsair, and she became a slave at Algiers. The French Consul offered to ransom her, but she refused her consent, in consequence of an old Negress having predicted to her that she would become one of the greatest Princesses in the world, and notwithstanding all the intrea- ties of her relations she persisted in abandoning herself to her fate. The prediction of the Negress was singularly fulfilled. The Sultana is said to have been a beautiful woman, of fascina- ting manners. Vaccination.— Persons of all descriptions will peruse with pleasure the concluding paragraph of the last Report of the Institute of France on the subject of Vaccination:— The preservative effect of the vaccine virus, where this virus has been taken in those determinate circumstances which assure us of its purity, and where the de- velopment of it has been complete, is at least as certain as that ofthe small pox itself, or as that w hich results from varioius inoculation. More- over, considered with relation to society in gene- ral, vaccination has an advantage which inocula- tion cannot possess ; ! hat of putting a slop lo variolous epidemics, circumscribing tlieni, and causing them to disappear, and of considerably diminishing the mortality which threatens the early periods of life; thus preserving to popu- lation its most advantageous proportion. In short, the results obtained up to this lime in- spire us with the probable hope of seeing the scourge of the small pox, one of the most de- plorable under w hich human nature suffers, dis appear from the bosom of society. The restored activity of our Cotton Manufac- tures is a great point in favour of the national industry - nor is it immaterial to remark ihe in- creasing supply of the raw article from our ow n settlements. The Americans had not been content wilh moderate prices for their cotton, and thus bad driven our manufactures to the Indian market, the imports from which are in- creasing in a rapid ratio. About 50,000 bales of cotton were last year imported fram the East Indies: Ibis year tiiere have been 100,000, and next year w ill probably produce 150,000. In return loo, the Mauchester goods have been sent to India, at prices so low that they must com- mand a market, some of them as lotv as from 7d to 7jd. per yard. We are glad to find that the old Duties 011 Ex- cise produced nearly Ninety Thousand Pounds more last week than in the corresponding week last year. The amount being Last week .£ 464,000 The corresponding week, 1816.... 374,216 treason or not, wonlil alone tie enteriaineu i> y me jury. He hinted that he had 110 doubt of the firmness 01 a Derbyshire Jury, though he saw some reason to fear whether men whose lives and properties had been at stake would not come with prejudiced minds to the examination of this important question, and be apt to overlook the distinction between riot and treason. He went, over his former ground ( but with more precision) of the object of the Riot Act, and contended thateven a declared design to overthiow the State, could not, ex- cept by the grossest perversion of common sense, be called treason, when there was an utter inadequacy of the means to the end. He particularly entreated the Jury to dismiss from their minds all recollection of Brandreth's peculiar case, and accused the Crown Law- yers of management in bringing forward that case first, He told the Jury not to be intimidated or overawed by the unusual array of Judges and Crown Lawyers w ho had come to wage war against a miserable pauper. He then commented with great force and ingenuity on the facts of the case; and insinuating, as before, that base means had been taken to exasperate poor and discon- tented men into acts of public violence, he concluded by desiring the Jury to adhere to the old law, as esta- blished by the Statute of Edward and the Riot Act, and not to sanction the novel doctrine of constructive treason. Three witnesses were then called for the prisoner, who had known him for different periods of 33, 12, and 8 years, and who agreed in calling hiina humane, loyal, and peaceable subject. Mr. Denman followed, and after stating the law of the case, commented with great perspicuity and force upon the evidence. He insisted 011 striking out the evidence of Martin and Ashbury as perjured, and con tended that the rest of the evidence proved not a single circumstance of treason against the prisoner. In the conclusion, he appealed to the consciences of the Jury in the most solemn and impressive terms, conjuring them to beware that 110 doubt upon the subject should hereafter agitate their minds 011 their death. bed, or overwhelm them with confusion in the day of judgment. ' the Attorney General made an animated and per- spicuous reply, in the course of which he contended that the Statute of Edward III. was itself intended to mark the distinction between riots for some private purpose, and a war against the State or the King's Royal Majesty. The latter expression was at that time al- ways used to signify the Government; and an attack upon any part of it, with numbers and force of arms, had uniformly been decided by Courts of Law to be a levying of war against the King, in the sense of the an- cient Statute. He likewise took occasion to repel the insinuation thrown out bv Mr. Cross, that somemanage- ment had been employed in order to procure a convic- tion, by putting Brandreth, who was tainted with the crime of murder, first upon his trial. He declared that he had not been at all actuated by this motive, and that the only reason for trying Brandreth first was, that lie had been selected as leader by his^ co- conspirators. The same reason had induced him to take Win. Turner, who had been second in command, the second in order. The Attorney- General having concluded about half past 12 o'clock, Mr. Justice Dallas addressed the Jury, arid summed up thee vidence, which occupied the Court till nearly half past three. He stated the law as it had been held bv the greatest law authorities, and described what kindof tumultuous assemblingqr insurrection was decided by them to be a levying of war within the meaning of the statute. He quoted on this subject Sir. Justice Foster and Chief Justice Hale, to shew that an insurrection for a public and general purpose, to change the Government or to alter the established Laws by vi- olence or force of arms, constituted a levying of war that came within the law of treason. The first question therefore to determine was the fact of the insurrection. Though he stated this to be a question to the Jury in point of form, it could not be one in point of substance., after the evidence that they had heard. The going from house to house collecting arms, the violence offer- ed to the inhabitants of the districts tliioiigh which they passed, their formidable numbers and menacing conduct, all showed the fact of the insurrection be- yond the possibility of doubt. The otherqnestion, and the only important one as to the intent of the insur- gents, was their object to accomplish a public and ge- neral or private purpose. And here he must say, that no trace appeared in evidence of any private ob- ject being in the contemplation of the people thus as- sembled in force and arms. There were two ways ' 11 which the intention of the party is known— by their do clarations, and their acts. If the Jury, therefore, looked to their declarations, tliey would see that they all tended to shew a general object— the overthrow of the establish. ments. and resistance to the authorities of the country. The evidence of the declaration all going this way, it was fortlie Jury to determine, whether this was nota rising for a general purpose, which constituted a levying of war. Another way of learning the intentions of parties was their acts; declarations might be mistaken on account oftheir obscurity, and might be misrepresented by wit- nesses who could not remember them with accuracy ; but acts of such a public nature as those connected with insurrection could neither be mistaken nor easily mis- represented. The long line of march, the numbers as- sembled, the mode in w hich they were armed, their ad- vance almost into the presence of the King's troops, to- gether with acts they committed 011 their way, . were facts which, in cennexion with their declarations, could not be controverted, and would enable the Jury to de- cide w hether the purpose of the insurrection was public or private. On the part of the defence they had been told, that if they had any doubt they must give the prisoner the benefit of that doubt, and in this he con- curred; hut they should remember that the doubt must be fair and reasonable, whatever objection had been made by the learned Counsel to the latter expression. The Learned Judge liere. wcm over some of the heads of the evidence as it affected the prisoner. Observa- tions, he said had been made to the Jury, 011 their feel- ings at the hour of death, if they . should find they bad been mistaken in their verdict. It was not for him, sitting where, he did, to weaken such impressions— he rather wished to give them force; but he would tell tlieni, that in the hour of sickness or of health, at the day of death and in the contemplation of the final judg- ment, they would find their best consolation in the con sciousness that they had done their duly and fulfilled Excess in favour of last week.... ,£ 80,784 Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when— Captain F.

Brandreth has a wife ami three childjeu, and from a letter which he has written to his wife, it appears that she is now pregnant of a fourth. All his desires now seem to be centered in the happiness and future prosperity of his family, for whose sake he has expressed a wish to raise a little sum of money. Per- sons who view, with proper sentiments, the crime of which the prisoner has been found guilty, but who, at the same time, regard the atonement which he is about to make with the feelings of humanity, have contributed in a small degree to his desires, for which the wretched man has expressed himself most grateful.— The follow, ing is a literal copy of his letter:— " Derby Gaol, Oct. 18. " My DEARLY BELOVEd WIFE At last I thought it my duty to write a few lines to you, which I am sure " will affect you very mnch, to inform you of my dread- be your if you will by prayer appeal to God, you will undoubt- edly find great consolation and relief for your distress, and as a husband and father let me entreat yon that you will act a motherly part to the poor fatherless chil- dren, and bring them up iu the fear of God, which is my most sincere desire; and likewise conduct yourself in an undeniable manner, as an example to the children to the love and fear of God, in the faith of Jesus Christ — so that you may never depart from that faith in Christ; and I wish for the convincing of all tiie sonl< iu the house, that they may be at the arrival of this, and that we may all meet in heaven, where trouble ceases and all is joy and glory ! And I pray to God may this fatal stroke be joy to all that belong to me. instead of sorrow. Oh! that I may be the cause of their holy salvation - may it penetrate each wounded heart, so as to be their sole conversion to God. My Dear, you may suppose my feelings are not easily to be described. At this time the sentence is not passed ; but I am found guilty by the Jury this day. My dear wife it would give me great consolation if I could see. you before I depart from this life; but my Dear, if you are pregnant, I would have you advise with our poor distressed mother- in- law, whether it would be pro- per or not; and if she thinks it would not be of serious consequence, I should be very glad, but let it be. well considered before you come to me; and if you do not come, let your father ( if he thinks it would not be more that he can bear), as I know he is of a very timorous turn; but if neither come, I shall write again, if God permit me.— So, my beloved wife, I hope yon will excuse my short letter at this time. You may inform all friends that God gave me great fortitude to hear up my spirits 011 trial. So I hope the blessings of God will be with you all, and most especially with yon and our poor little babes.— So I conclude— your most affectionate husband, " J. BrASdrETh. " For Ann Brandreth, Geo. Bridge's, Bedlam- court, Sutton in Ashfield." Many of the prisoners here are of the most respect- able connections, and some of them have relations even in this town. It is a melancholy circumstance to relate, that the sister of one of them, named Hunt, a most re- spectable milliner and dress- maker, residing in Queen- street here, expired last week of a broken heart, occa- sioned by the horror which occupied her mind ever since she first learned that her unfortunate brother was- one of the persons indicted for High Treason. Thi » unfortunate young man is of a most respectable family, and spent a very considerable part of his life here, pre- vious to his apprehension. His unhappy sisier was interred 011 Saturday last, and her untimely and melan- choly death is universally lamented. On Saturday a respectable boot and shoe- maker in ttie vicinity of the Exchange received an order for 1000 pair of cavalry boots, and on Tuesday, an order for 3000 pair of shoes for the Spanish American Patriots. Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated the 19tli inst.— " Yesterday being St. Luke's th& Election of Mayor for this Borough took place, and was unprecedentedly contested between the two Candidates, T.

The Boys in general evinced much talent, and shewed that they had given great attention to the prosecution of their studies. The result of this examination was highly creditable to the Rev, — Cherry, and the other Masters of the School. After the examination, the Master, Wardens, and Court of Assistants, gave a splendid dinner at their Hall, which was numerously ' attended. Death of Mr. Raymond.— October 20, iu Chester Place, Pimlico, Mr. Raymond, the Stage Manager of Drury- lane Theatre. He was seized with an apoplectic fit, early in the morning and lay in a state of insensibility ( motionless and speechless) till the moment of his death, which was gradual, and without pain. He has left a widow and nine children to lament his loss. His exertions and fatigues in the irksome, and, we might say, thankless, office of Manager of the great theatrical concern intrusted to his care, preyed upon his mind. He was indefatigable in his exertions; and in the arrangements he was preparing for the season ; his labours were duly appreciated by the Proprietors and the Public r hut he fell a victim to his zeal in their service. About 2 weeks ago lie was attacked by a severe an inflammation 011 the of those doubts, and to bring in a verdict of acquittal. If they thought otherwise, they should bring iu a cor- responding verdict, however painful, without any regard to consequences. The Jury then went out; they remained ill consul- tation about 20 minutes, and returned to the Court at half- past three exactly. It was easy to gather from tlieir countenances that they had a painful task to per- form: their names were called over, and the usual question of ' Guilty or not guilty' being put, the Fore- man answered in a faint and dejected voice— Guilty. The prisoner looked somewhat paler than before, but there was no other difference: be was immediately- taken awav. The verdict did not seem to make much impression on the numerous auditory : and, indeed, it is hardly possible to conceive a people less moved by even common curiosity than the people of Derby. The Judges, as soon as the prisouer was removed, asked the Attorney- General whether he would proceed then or to- morrow morning. The Attorney- General thought it best to adjourn, as the Jury could be merely impanelled that night* and might, without being of much use, be confined two nights.— Adjourned till 8 o'clock to- morrow, Brandreth was on Monday afternoon visited by tin Chaplain ofthe gaol, to . whose- religious admonitions he was extremely attentive. His conduct, since his con viction, as well indeed as before, has been decorous and correct. He says lie feels very comfortable in his un- happy situatiou, and exhibits great firmness in the con- but his anxiety in the discharge of iiis duty de- feated all the expostulations of his medical friends as to repose, and even aggravated the complaint by his incessant toil. Mr. Raymond, was, we believe, a native of Aberdeenshire and il is to his credit, that he wrought his way up to the professional eminence which he enjoyed by his own unassisted efforts. We remember him early in life, most eager and persevering iu the acqui- sition ofthe knowledge necessary to his art, and in the curing of his original accent. Though he did not embrace the Theatre as a profession till he had attained mature age, he distinguished himself by his talent as a sensible and encrgctic performer. In his conduct as a Manager he was truly impartial in the distribution of parts, and in his attention to the claims of performers. He w as beloved by all ;' and his dearest friends must . have, consolation in his loss, m learning that the news of his sudden death, which was brought to the two Theatres 011 Monday last, just before the curtain roSe, made an impression 011 the hearts of his companions, which proved that they most truly feel the affliction which they have on the Stage only to represent. LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER - 21, 1817. - • The Paris Papers of Tuesday last arrived on Friday morning. They contain minute details of the journey which the Due d' Angouleme is making through some of the maritime provinces, as Grand Admiral of France. At Dieppe, where he arrived on the 17th inst. he Was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations of loyalty, and in a brief speech which he addres- sed to some of the inhabitants, he communica- ted his intention of promoting the interests of that port. " The Duchess my wife," lie said, " has already informed me, that the King reck- ons at Dieppe as many, faithful subjects as it contains mariners." The Duke of Treviso and all the constituted authorities attended his Royal Highness, on the 20th he was to enter Rouen. The Duke of Wellington returned to Paris on Tuesday ensuing An article in the Gazette de France enume- rates Ihe several instances in which the King of Prussia has extended pecuniary aid to men of literature, for the purpose of promoting the dif- fusion of knowledge throughout his States. Ig- norance is no less favourable to political than to religious despotism. An enlightened, was never yet an enslaved nation. That Prussia is destined to afford an inexplicable exception to this rule, in the present or future history of the world, is more than we can believe— The Courier. Friday morning were received by the packet regular files of New York Papers, though the dates arc not more recent than those previously arrived. The following are extracts:— "' File following paragraph from the National Intelligencer, will serve to shew in what light Government views the interference of our citi- zens in the affairs of Spain and her Colonies. " From the National Intelligencer, Aug. 2( 1. " Respecting the policy of the United States taking part w ith the Spanish American Colonies against the Mother Country, the Georgia Journal remarks: ' The interference ofthc Allied Powers between Spain and Portugal, in consequence of the invasion by the latter of part of the Ameri- aan possessions of the former, shews what the United States might anticipate from espousing the cause of the Spanish American Colonies against the Mother Country. The probable re- sult would be, the hostility of all Europe against us." " It is well known that nn expectation is en- tertained in East Florida that a cession will be made by Spain to the United States of that ter- ritory, as an indemnity for spoliations. It is apparent from the anxiety manifested in the of- ficial paper at the seat of Government, to pre- vent our citizens from participating in M'Gre- gor's invasion, that our cabinet calculates on the same thing. Should this event take place, the United States coming into possession under the Spanish title would, of course, recognisc no other; and should M'Gregor have effected the conquest of the country, he would soon be ousted of his jurisdiction. Nor is it probable any regard would be paid to the grants of lands which he has so liberally promised. Certain it is that our af- fairs with Spain must in a short time be brought to an * issue of some sort,' as Mr. Jefferson told • us, though circumstances intervened to prevent it in his day. Whatever this issue may be, it will undoubtedly result in reducing Florida un- der our dominion, and w ill be equally fatal to M'Gregor's pretensions." " Important Enterprise.—- Gen. Count Clau- sel and Gen. Lefebvre Desnouettes have sailed from Philadelphia witli a ship- load of passengers, bound to the Mobile. Marshal Grouchy, the two Generals Lallemand, Generals Vandamme, Labanal, Penniers, Garnier le Saintes. Couut Real, & c. are at the head of this enterprise." Extract of a Letter received at Merchants' Hall, Boston, dated Havannah, Aug. 7. " The Spanish frigate Sabina, of 44 guns, arrived just now from Vera Cruz, with a large amount in specie. It is reported that she will be immediately sent to Florida to act against M'Gregor: others say she will proceed to Cadiz with part of her treasure. The last report I think most probable. The corvette Valency is out, and believed to be near Amelia. The ether corvette ( late Jacob Jones) is under repair. The movements of M'Gregor appears to be viewed with great indifference here. From Mexico the accounts alfcappear to be iu favour of the Royalists. None of the privateers have appeared off here for some time. The lafe or. ierofthe lfitcndant to prevent illicit trade will be rigorously enforced." trtr. ARMY. Major- General Lord Howard of Effingham's Orders lo the 18th ( Royal Irish) Regiment, on the first inspection of their Corps, since its re- turn, from twelve years foreign service. Portsmouth, Oct. 2,1817. The appearance Of the Regiment, at the Half- yearly Inspection, yesterday, was clean and soldierlike, their movements and field exercise accurate and correct, and the interior economy of the Corps, such, in every re- spect, as the regulations of the service prescribe, which evinces the attention bestowed by Col Graves, and the Officers and Non- commissioned Officers under his orders, in their respective stations, to the discipline of the Regiment. The 97th, or Enniskillen Regiment, under the command of Colonel Watson, underwent their half- yearly inspection on Thursday last, by Major General White, in the Phoenix Park. Tbe Regi- ment went through the various manoeuvres with much exactness ; Sir George Beckwith, the Com- mander of the Forces, and Lieutenant- General Lord Forbes, were present; and expressed un- qualified approbation ofthe military appearance and performance of this gallant corps, which was communicated to Colonel Warren by Major- General White. The 34th Regiment, under the command of Colonel Dubney, were inspected at Athlone on Tuesday se'nnight by Major- General Buller, who very much approved ofthe general appearance of this fine Regiment. A division of the lst, or Royal Scots Regi- ment, marched into Mullingar on Thursday last, on their route from Enniskillen to Fermoy. We understand are to join the 2d battalion in the East Indies. , The 8th, or King's Own Regiment, quartered in Mullingar, were inspected by Major- General Kemmis, on Saturday se'nnight, and went throngh a variety of evolutions and firings, & c. iu a most ready and soldierlike manner, at which the General expressed his approbation in the wannest terms. ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, " OCT. 20. Sin,— I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the information of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that Capt. Hall, of his Majesty's ship the Lyra, has ar- rived at this Office; that he informs me, that he had experienced severe easterly gales in the chops of the Channel ever since the 26th uit. and that it was with the greatest difficulty that his Majesty's ship was enabled to reach Bantry bay on the 11th inst. The Captain also reports, that a great numberof mer- chant ships were in the chops of the Channel, and he fears that many of them must be. in great distress for provisions, and lie also apprehends that many have been driven to the northward of their usual course, in their attempts to reach Ireland. My Lords, therefore, farther direct me to acquaint yon, that they have in consequence issued additional orders to the several ports, directing the Admirals to send assistance into the quarter pointed out by Captain Hall. I am, Sir, your very humble servant, To Mr. John Bennett, jun. ( Signed) J. W. CROKER. Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Genoa, dated October 11:—" We enclose you a copy of an Edict of the Emperor of Ger- many, dated Milan, the 2d instant, by which it appears, that all foreign cotton and woollen man- ufactures are prohibited in his States. This decree will seriously injure the trade of this nlace, as by every vessel which arrives from England; a third part of the cargo is for houses in Lombardy, who deal iu those articles." From the long prevalence of north- east winds, numerous ships from the southward and west- ward have been prevented from getting into port; bill notwithstanding the winds have been favourable for vessels from the northward and eastward, Lloyd's books on Tuesday present- ed, a novel appearance, the only entries of home- ward- bound ships being the arrival of one at Dartmouth from St. Andero, and another at Harwich from Archangel; such a circumstance is, we believe, without precedent. The following is a copy of a letter received on Friday morning at Lloyd, s;— " Cork, Oct. 18.— We refer to our communi- cation to you of yesterday, and have now the pleasure to inform you that Admiral Sir B. Hal- lowell, on hearing of the very distressing ac- counts published of the state of so many mer- chantmen to the south- west, sent to sea his Ma- jesty's ship Cyrus, with the Townshend and Be- resford, revenue cutters, with as much bread and spirits as they could stow, with directions to cruize off the coast as long as the easterly wind lasted, and to afford relief to any vessels they may fall ill with, requiring it, & c. " D. CALLAGHAN & SONS. Mr. J. Bennett, jun, " Agents to Lloyd's." The liberal and enlightened conduct of Gen. Maitland, in his Government: in the Mediter- ranean, will be attended with the most benefi- cial consequences to this country; and it is truly gratifying to hear that the fame and high character of England is so universally acknow- ledged throughout Italy and Greece. A rare instance of probity has occurred in Burv.— A bout 14 years ago, a professional man carrying on also the business ofa druggist, bad tbe misfortune to become a bankrupt when he paid Os. 8d, in the pound under the commis- sion. On the 1st instant he voluntarily made- good all the deficiency at the Bank of Messrs. Oakes, to the amount of nearly 400/. Brighton, Oct. 22.— Soon alter one o'clock, the Prince Regent, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Ac. took an airing ou horeback westward, returning by the Cliff road, East- street, and North- street, about four o'clock. Soon after i^ iis Royal Highness's return to the Palace, Hie Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, who were expected, arrived from Worthing. Dinner, in consequence, was served up two hours earlier than usual, at live o'clock, and invitations were issued to the Countess of Lonsdale and other Ladies, to meet the Duchess at the concei t at the Pavilion in the evening. The Duke and Duchess, it is understood, return to Worthing to- night. The rides, which had been but thinly attend- ed during the preceding part of this day, were, soon after the Regent commenced his airing- gailv visited from all quarters. Singular Incident.— One of the most extra- ordinary instances of good fortune that perhaps ever occurred to any human being, has fallen to the lot of a young gentleman, now about 18 years of age, the son of a respectable farmer in the vicinity of Newmarket: — In travelling, more than 18 months since, from his father's house, in the county of Cambridge, towards Shrewsbury ( where he went to school under the Rev. Dr. Butler) he accidentally met with an elderly gen- tleman in the stage- coach, to whom he was en- tirely unknown, but who was so much pleased with his company, that before they parted at Shrewsbury ( where the gentleman resided) be told the youth that lie bad long been looking for a person to whom he might leave his foi tune, and that he was the object of his election. The gentleman then gave him a general invitation lo his house, where he was always treated with the greatest respect, and introduced to the best so- ciety of the place for more than a year, and had a horse and servant kept for liini whilst he remained at the school, which he continued to do till very recently. The gentleman being taken extremely ill within these few weeks, sent for the youth and repeated his former intima- tion of giving him all his property. Accordingly he caused a free gift of his immense wealth lo be legally made out, only stipulating, that iu Case he survived, the youth should handsomely provide for him during the continuance of his life, lie, however, died a short time after he had signed the deed, iu which it has been dis- covered that he possessed more than £ 500,000. sterling! What is very remarkable, the youth ( as we are told) never communicated any ofthe . circumstances to bis family, until after the de- cease of t he gentleman ( who is said to have been a West Indian) fearing, probably, to raise ex- pectations that might never be realized. Since the event, however, we have great pleasure in relating,, that the youth's filial and fraternal affection has been most honourably evinced, by his having voluntarily given £ 50,000. each lo hi I father and elder brother. ACClfcrxH Ol'lTN'Ci 1 Sic. A few dayS Sittce as one of the seanien belonging to the Sybille was going up by the flagstaff halliards, to reeve the royal halliards, when he had got very near the royal must head, the flagstaff halliards broke, and became down upon the deck, alongside the mainmast, and falling backwards bounded again on his feet. — He had the royal halliards o « er his head, to carrv them up to reeve, the hitch of which got tight round ' his neck, and if he had had two feet further to have fallen, he must have been strangled: iu his descent he struck lightlv against the maintop, uud the running rigging, which broke his fall so much, that he received very little in- jury, and he is now able to walk abont the deck. Coroner's Inqueits.— On Saturday au Inquisition was taken at the Crown Inn, Croydon, before Charles Jem- mett, Esq. Coroner for Surrey, on vie w of the body of Matbew Poulter, an old man, who met his death under the followingcircuiiistances. The accident had nearly proved fatal toseveral others. One person had both his legs broken, and several were severely hurt. On the 10th instant, a cricket- match had been" played in a field adjoining the town, which attracted a great con- course of spectators; in the course ofthe day tents and marquees were erected, aud when the sport of tiie day- was over, a man with a horse and cart, came to carry home one of the marquees, and other things which had been used on the ground. Having loaded the cart, a boy got into it, and the driver seated himself on the shafts. Ashe Was driving the iiorse with reins, through the gate- way of the field into the road, the off wheel went into the gutter, when bya sudden jerk, thedriver was thrown from the shafts with gt eat force, and by his touching the horse in his fall, the animal was frightened, and set off full gallop. The off wheel of the cart pas- sed over the legs of the driver, and fractured both, and he was taken up very mnch bruised. Several others were knocked down, aud also very much hurt. The horse and cart proceeded down High- street without being stopped, aud the deceased, who lived in the Col- lege, happened to be crossing the street, when the off- wheel was forced against him, and he fell to the ground ; he was taken up speechless, and medical aid immedi- ately procured, but he lingered till Thursday, when he died. The horse continued its course till hesloppedof his own accord, aiid the boy was discovered sitting in the cart quite at ease. Verdict-^- Aeicidental Death. Thursday night an Inquest was held at the Lord So- iiiers'Arms, Grenville- street, on the body of R. Dow- land, an orphan sweep, aged 11 years, apprentice to Mr. Hall, of St. Pancras. Mrs. Bishop, a baker, ot Union- street, Somer's Town, said, that on Wednesday- morning the deceased, and two other sweeps, accompa- nied by their master, came to sweep the chimnies; the deceased's master ordered him to sweep a chimney over an oven which had been lately built. He went to the top, as she heard him beat his scraper against the chim- ney- pot. _ He came down again, and had a slight burn on his left arm; she supposed it procoeded from the bricks being hot; he cried, and said that something burnt his arm, and it pained him very much." He was then sent up the flue of tire old oven, but witness was not present. He remained above an hour in the flue, although he was only a quarter of an hour iu the new one. Witness asked his master, if lie thought there was any fear; lie answered, he was only taking a nap. The fire had been out 4 hours before the deceasedcame to sweep it. When the deceased was in the chimney, crying, his master pointed out the place to them; ano- ther boy was then sent, up after the deceased', who found him stuck in the slant of the chimney. The flue iu the shop was then opened, and the deceased was taken out, covered with soot, so that they had much difficulty in taking it off with their hands. He was then carried into the garden for the air, and a Surgeon was sent for, who rubbed him with some spirits, but he never spoke or moved after. When he first came down the funnel of the new oven, his master told him he' ought to have a good threshing for stopping so long. He was much exhausted, and one of hei men gave him some water; and witness told his niasterhe used him very hardly, on which the master replied, he knew best how to deal with him. The flue had not been swept for a considerable time, and she dreaded danger to the boy, and told his master to defer sending him to another day, as the batches were drawn so very late. His master asked her when the fire had been put out; she told him about 4 o'clock, he said the fine could not be too hot. There were some potatoes baking in the oven at the time. She sent for her husband to the Lord So- mers' Arms, and he agreed with her that the boy was dying; he was only - 1 feet from the mouth of the oven; the master said there was no danger, as he. was only stopped by a nail. Witness's husband seized the pokc'r and broke in the wall, and took the boy out; the mas- ter was present the whole time, and told Mr. Bishop that he was too hasty. In the morning, deceased's master asked witness when the oven would be ready to sweep; she told him the batch would be out abont ( i o'clock, but the fire was out at 4 ; the master said it would not be too hot;. they- eame to sweep them about 8 o'clock; tho oven would bake a joint of meat after the fire was out. She heard the cry of the boy a considerable time before he was taken out of " the chimney. She is of opinion his life might have been saved if there had been timely assistance.— T. Smith of Bridgewater- streef, Saint Pancras, who built the old flue, produced a plan of it, by which it appeared that it was built in an oblique direction, and that the hoy in going through a part of it had to lie flat on his face, and when up, he must have been stopped from re- turning, by the soot, which fell gradually as he cleared it in going up ; and the parties below neglecting to clear it away as it fell; the boy lay in that painful situation till he was smothered. If his master had reached up the flue lie might have got the boy down. The dimen- sions of the flue in tbe widest part is 14 inches by 12. The part w here the deceased lay was narrower than any other ; he had some difficulty in pulling him out, in con- sequence of his being wedged so tight in; and when he was taken out his flesh was scorched, and his skin shrivelled up. Mr. Hall did not render that assistance, nor appear so anxious to relieve the deceased, as he ought; but whether it was from ignorance or unwil- lingness he could not say. He believed the deceased was suffocated from not having that assistance which might have beenrcndefedjiim.— D. Mead, journeyman to Mr. Bishop, was present when the deceased came down the flue of the new oven. He said the oven was very hot, and that he had burned and grazed his right arm. He had water given him at his request. He saw him go up the flew afterwards. The. deceased shewed an unwillingness to go np the latter Hive. He told his master how long the fire had been out, and lie said that he had swept chininies where Ihe fire hadnot been out so long. When ihe deceased came down the new flue, his master said that he deserved a " d— d good hiding," but did not beat him, only threatened. When Ihe de- ceased had been about twenty minutes up the old flue, lie began to " cry and sob" very much, and he under- stood the deceased to say that lie w as hanging to a nail. His master said, there w as 110 danger, and sent another boy up after him, who went as far as to be able to reach his feet; the lad called out, " lie won't come down master." The master replied," Damme, let him stop." When the deceased had been about 25 minutes in the flue, he ( the witness) went to bed ; in about 20 minutes after he was in bed, his sister ( Mrs. Bishop) came and called him up again; he went down stairs, and saw Mr. Bishop and Mr. Smith pulling down theflue and taking the deceased out of it. He was quite dead.— K. Berry, isaswecp. He is not articled to Mr. Hall, and can leave him when he chooses. On Tuesday, he, his master, and the deceased, went to Mr. Bishop's to clean tbe tines; he saw Ihe deceased gouptlienew flue, and come down again; he was rather warm— he was in a sweat, his master did not scold him for being so long up the chimney; the deceased, went willingly np the old after he came down ihe new flue. Witness- was sent up to the deceased ; he got up the flue and felt his feet; he drew them up, and said thaMi § stuck in the flue and could not getdnwn. He ( old his master what the de- ceased said, and he sent him for another boy who was Ie « s than himself. When he told his master that the de- ceased said he could not get down, he did not hear him reply " that he might stay where he was aud be d— d." Juryman— This evidence is so contradictory that I think we had better not hear any thing more what he has to say. Witness — Hall treated the deceased in ge- neral very well. The Coroner, in addressing the Jury, said, that the case required 110 comment by him. It was a proof that tiie sooner machinery was used for cleaning flues and chimnies, instead of poor climbing boys, tiie- better. Hull's conduct had been shockingly unfeeling.— Verdict— Died from Suffocation, through the | culpable neglect of his master. Caution to Persons administering Medicines. — An'iri \ quisitibti was taken on Tuesday night, before Hugh Lewis, Esq. Coroner, at the Turf Tap, Grosvenor- place, near St. George's hospital, on tho body of Dennis Kenny, a well- known character, who 1' or the last fifteen years has sold fruit at a stall at Hyde- Park- corner gate, and died on Sunday morning last, in St. George's hospital, from having an excessive quantity of medicine of a de- leterious quality, Administered to him accidentally- by the nurse. William Wright Hewitt, sworn— He is resident apo- thecary at St. George's- hospilal. The deceased had been about a month in the hospital With a rheumatic complaint, which he was afflicted with yearly, and had been for Hie lasts years regularly confined in the hos- pital with that disorder. Oil Saturday morning about 11 o'clock he was sent for bv nurse Walker, who in- formed him that she had given the deceased on Ihe pre- ceding night, the whole Contents of the bottle of medi- cine, instead of the fifteenth part of it, as the label di- rected, and had discovered her error. The deceased was then labouring under very distressing symptoms; he gave him some medicine, which he thought would he most likely to relieve little The symptoms, instead of abating, increased in violence, notwithstanding all his efforts; and ou the Sunday morning he expired. The medicine which was administered had been much used in similar complaints with the greatest advantage, and if given in proper doses was a proper and beneficial re- medy. The character and conduct of the nurse lie knew to be in general deserving approbation ; she was careful, prudent, and attentive. The cause of the death of the deceased, he had 110 doubt, was in consequence of an excessive quantity of the medicine, having been given to him by accident. There were proper di- rections 011 the phial which contained the medicine. Catherine Walker, widow, day- nurse in St. George's Hospital, sworn.— The deceased was a patient under her care in the King's ward; she had a woman to assist her, but she never intrusted her to administer medi- cines to the sick. On Friday night last she gave the deceased the whole contents of a phial bottle, without looking to the wiitten directions 011 the label. She could only account, for so doing by being very much hurried in attending on a medical gentleman,' who was cupping some of the patients. During the intervals the surgeon did not want Iter, she went to the patients and helped them to their physic; and having helped the deceased 011 the preceding night to a draught, the whole contents of a bottle about the same size as that she had then to administer, she supposed it was a draught of the same kind, and gave him the whole. O11 the foi lowing morning, about 7 o'clock, the night nurse came and informed her that Kenny had been in great pain all night, she ran in her night clothes and asked liini how he did ; she look np the phial which had contained the medicine, and found that she had given him 15 times the quantity she ought to have done; she was mnch frightened. About 11 o'clock she informed Mr. Hewitt of the circumstance; flight prevented her from telling him before. The Coroner and Jury very much censured the nurse for not informing the surgeon until four hours after she discovered her error; for it was possible, if he had had an antidote sooner, his life might have been saved. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned the following verdict:— Died in consequence of having ad- ministered to him, by accident, an excessive quantity of medicine of a deleterious nature. HORRIBLE MURDER.— At Plymouth, a few days since, J. Green, attendant on the boat which conveys the Cornish Mail to Torpoint, and Rebecca Smith, wife of G. Smith, a rigger in the Dock- yard, met at the Lion and Anchor, in Cherry- garden- street. After drinking a pint of beer, Green called for another, requesting the landlady- to warm a glass of it for the female, whose mouth was sore. They sat in a back parlour, with the door open to the passage, apparently on the most ami- cable terms. Soon afterwards Smith left the room, and returned again; when Green went to the tap- room fire, lighted his pipe, and rejoined her in the same apartment. In about a quarterof an hour the landlady ( Sarah Coats) saw Smith coming to the bar, moving her lips as if en deavouring to speak, though unable so lo do, while blood flowed profusely from her throat. Mrs. C. instantly called for assistance, and, having seated Smith in a chair, under the care of another woman, hastened in search of a surgeon. In the mean time the landlord ran to the back room, the door of which was still open, where he discovered Green wiping the blood from his face and hands. The landlord exclaimed," What have you been doing?" Green replied," She attempted to cut my throat, and I have cut her's." He was then conveyed to the Town- hall Prison. The Surgeon, 011 examining Smith, found there was no chance of saving her life. A case knife, dyed with gore, was discovered secreted under some shavings in the apartment where they had been sitting.— G. Smith, husband of the de- ceased, stated, that she eloped with Green a year and a half since, leaving behind her two children; and had cohabited with him in Ireland until two months prece- ding this event, when she entreated permission to re- turn to her children, to which he consented. Soon after Green made his appearance, and being frequently seen loitering about the door, was desired lo abstain from such conduct. Mrs. Wilson, living in a room adjoining that occupied by the deceased, said, that in an inter- view she witnessed between the prisoner and deceased, the latter said to the former, " Jack Green, you mean nothing but to murder me:" to which he answered, " I value not my own life, but I don't wish to hurt yon." She then requested that he would never again come into her presence, which he promised. Tbe Coroner's Jury brought in a verdict of Wilful Murder, and he was com mitted to Exeter Gaol. Murders of Thos. Hall and Mary Grant.— To the par- ticulars of these horrid transactions already stated, we have now only'to add, that after a public and most serious and deliberate investigation, which lasted up- wards of eight hours, before W. King, Esq. one of ihe Coroners for the County of Lincoln, and the Jury re- as- sembled at this Court, held by adjournment at Withern 011 tbe 10th inst., the inquest being first solemnly charged by him upon the evidence, returned verdicts of wilful murder of both the unfortunate victims against John Raithby, late of Theddlethorpe Saint Helens, labourer, who was personally present during the whole inquiry, and was thereupon committed by the Coroner to the Castle of Lincoln, to take his trial for these offences at the next Assizes, instead of leading to the altar a re- spectable young woman whom he was to have married on the very day when a Jury of his native county pro- nounced their awful accusations, and consigned him to 11 prison; whence, " it is devoutly to be wished," he POLICE INTFELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH. STREET.-- the Dead Alive.— it WAS stated on Monday tiiat a most extraordinary affair hap- pened at Mr. Brookes's, the Theatre Of Anatomy, Blen- heim- street. O11 Sunday evening a man hiving been delivered there as a subject ( a technical term for a dead man for dissection), in a sack, who, when in the act of being rolled down the steps to the vaults, turned out to be alive, and was conveyed, in a state of nudity; to St. James's watch- house. Curiosity had led many hun-' dreds of persons to the watch- house, and itr jva^ wftk difficulty the subject could be conveyed to this Office,, ' w-' iere there was also a great ' assemblage. The's'i/ jisft at length arrived. He stated his. name to. be Robert Morgan, by trade a smith.— John Bottomley, a hackney! coachman, was also charged , with having'" delivered' Morgan, tied up in the sack.— The subject appeal eit may emancipate himself by complete proof of his inno- cence. The immense concourse of people, not only from the adjacent but from distant parts of the country, on this melancholy occasion, fully proved the terrific impressions, deep. anxiety, and active exertions, which these heart- rending scenes of barbarous bloodshed had universally created. It is not true, as has been stated, that the prisoner " had one hand stabbed through, as if by the tines of a fork." The wound which originated the suspicion is inside the right- hand, deeply across the muscles ofthe thumb. The unfortunate Hall and his housekeeper were interred at Theddlethorpe 011 Satur- day se'nnight, and their remains were attended to the grave by ••> vast concourse of sorrowingspectators from the neighbourhood and adjacent villages. After the funeral, the Rev, S. Welfit, vicar of Theddlethorpe, took the opportunity of preaching a most excellent and impressive sermon on the melancholy occasion, in the parish church, which was listened to with becoming attention by a most crowded congregation. The unfor lunate sufferer and his housekeeper had lived together for npwajds of fifty years, and were highly respected in the neighbourhood. From the number of wounds Hall had on his body, it is supposed he had a despe- rate conflict with his murderer, ere he lost his life; in- deed, he ( Hall) was a man of extraordinary muscular strength of body, and esteemed through life, one of the most courageous and intrepid men in the marsh.— Bos- ton Gazette. At the Public Office, Cheltenham, a complaint was last week exhibited by a person stating his name to be George Brown, by profession a dancing master and florist, against a female of the name of Watts. The de- fendant, when called upon, stated, that the complainant had given a wrong name; for that he was no less than the well- known Rynwick Williams, who was the Mon- ster ! several years ago, and sued at the Old Bailey, for ail assault, under, very atrocious circumstances, upon the Misses Porter, of St. James's- street. The Magi- strates, being satisfied that he was the same person, dismissed the complaint. in the sack 111 the same way in which he was taken, with this difference, that holes had been made to let his arms through. ' ' " •''• The evidence of Mr. Brookes afforded much merri- ment. He stated, that 011 Sunday evening; soon aft ci- 7 o'clock, his servant informed him, throngh the medium of a pupil, that a coachman had called to inquire if he wanted a subject, from Chapman, a notorious resurrec- tion- man. Mr. B. agreed to have it; and in about" 5 - minutes after a coach was driven up lo the. door, anil si - man, answering the description of Bottomley, brought Morgan in a sack as a dead body, laid him in the sage, at the top of the kitchen- steps-, and Walked away without taking any further notice.— On Harris, wit- ness's servant, taking hold of the subject's feet, which protruded throngh the bottom of the sack, he felt them warm, and that Ihe subject was alive! Here the prisoner, Morgan, who seemed to have en- joyed the narrative with others, burst out into a fit of laughter. Mr. Burrowes, the Magistrate.—" Is it usual, Mr, Brookes, when you receive a subject, to have any con- versation with the parties who deliver it?" Mr. Brookes.—" Sometimes; but dead bodies are frequently left, and I recompense the procurers at my leisure." Mr. Brookes resumed his evidence, and stated that he put his foot upon the sack, upon being called by his servant, and kicked it down two steps, when the " sub- ject called out, " I am alive," and forcing half his naked body out of the sack, threw the whole house into alarm ( here the subject again laughed heartily.) Conceiving that the prisoner's intent was concealment, for the pur- pose of introducing others to commit felony, witness armed himself w ith the bar of a shutter, one of his pti- pils brought a poker, and gave his weapon to another man in the house, whilst he flew up stairs for his pistols which were unloaded; but the prisoner seemed inclined to resist, and witness said to him, " resign or I'll shoot, you like a bug, and then dissect you in 5minutes." A Constable was sent for, and the subject was taken to the watch- house. He denied any knowledge of how he came there, and said he had been made very drunk. After Mr. Brookes had returned from the watch, house, to enter the charge against Morgan, he saw Bot- tomley loitering about the street, aud 011 Scrutinizing his dress, it answered that of the person who had left Morgan there. There was another hackney- coachman with Bottomley. Air Brookes's testimony was corroborated by Mr. Salmon, one of his pupils, and by Henry Harris, his servant. The latter was confronted with Bottomley. and he believed him to be the man who had left Morgan. In defence, Morgan said, that he had returned from Teddington, Middlesex, on Sunday, where he had been three days at work; that he had drank freely on the road to London, He came through Westminster and the Park; and in Oxford- street a man picked him np^ and made him so drunk that he entirely lost his senses, and had no recollection until he awoke from his stupor at Mr. Brookes's He had no wrong intention, and he had lost 3s. and some apparel. Mr. Brookes stated, that he was confirmed in it, that' the. man was not drunk when at his house, and the man. ner of his extricating himself from the sack clearly de- monstrated if. Bottomley, in his defence, denied all knowledge of Morgan. He drove the hackney- coach, No. 1082, for Mr. Warr, of Leather- lane, and he had been 4 years iu his service. He had a holiday on Sunday, and went to see his friends. He returned from Paddington with Smart, another Coachman, and they called at a watering house in Oxford- street. This public- house, Morgan had said, in the watch- h0use, he had a faint recollection of. The Magistrate said, this was a case which had ex- cited mnch public curiosity and interest. He could do no other than remand tiie prisoners for a week, to enable more evidence to be got at, and to give an op- portunity of finding the Oxford- street landlord, and to examine Bottomley's master as to the truth of his story. Felony or murder might be the object of the parties. They were remanded till next Monday. It is since understood that Mr. Brookes does not inteud following np the prosecution against the living subject left at his house, as it turns out to have been al- together a hoax. The man Morgan, it seems, is a sort of cadee to a body of resurrection men. and according to his own confession, he was prevailed upon to become the dupe of their fun. He states who took him to Mr. Brookes's, and left him at the top of Ihe steps. He felt no alarm until the Doctor and his man were talking about tumbling him down stairs, and had actually com. menced that hostility to his person. He denied having been drunk as he asserted. It turned out also, that Mr. Brookes had been apprised that a subject was com- ing at a cetain hour, and that he had advanced some money 011 account. Morgan mentioned the name of E. Chapman, a notorious resurrection man, as the principal. Seven of the persons confined in Worcester gaol, for being accessary, in some shape or other, to the late riots, were on Wednesday fully committed for trial at th » next Assizes, charged on oath " with feloniously and riotously assembling and destroying the buildings, fences, and other property of John and Abraham Ed- munds." Another man, confined on the same charge, was held to bail for his good behaviour, and a boy w as discharged. Executions at Ayr.— Friday William Robertson and Joseph Cairns, convicted of robbery and theft, aggra vated by assault and house- breaking, committed in tho county of Wigton, and Margaret Crosan, found guilty of a malicious and cruel act of wilful fire raising in tho same county, were executed at Ayr. Robertson was about twenty- seven years of age, and was a Scotchman. On the scaffold he addressed the guard, consisting of small detachments of foot ami cavalry, and cautioned them against desertion, as he attributed his o* rn timely- end to his having commenced a career of wick, edness by committing that crime. The man Cairn? was about twenty- four years old, and was an Irishman. The woman was also born in Ireland. She appeared to be thirty years of age. At Leicester fair, whilst the business in the morning was heavy and dilatory, a pickpocket varied the scene a little, by showing the cheese- factors how to be transported without delay, Having made free with a gentleman's pocket- book, tbe fellow was apprehended, taken before the Magistrates, and committed ; and as the Sessions were held that day, lie was tried before Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, convicted, and sentenced to 14 years transportation, ftnd all within au hour and an half from the time of the theft! Tuesday a foot race was run on Sunbury Com- mon, between Wansall, of Eton, and a famous man from Lancashire. They started at three o'clock, for three miles ; Wansall ran it in 1G minutes and 12 seconds; the Lancashire man- was beat by 100 yards. It was for SO guineas aside. Wansall is thought to be the best runner in tbe kingdom for 3 or 4 miles. There was a very great nunibei of spectators. On the lltli iust. a Gentleman caused the vault at Dilston- hall to be opened, and narrowly examined the remains of James, tbe late, unfor. lunate Earl of Derwentwater. Although it has now been interred more than 100 years, the body head, & c. are in a good state of preservation. POST HORSE DUTIES. Stamp- Office, London, Oct. 25, 1817.

SUTLER'S VEGETABLE TOOTH POW- DER is a requisite the most indispensable to the Toilette of every person who has a regard either for health or appearance ; for what is more essential totfc<= one, or can assist more powerfully the other, than 1 good Set of Teeth, without which tiie finest symmetry of features is incomplete in its fascinating effect? This pleasing finish to the countenance is infallibly attained by the constant use ofthe above Dentifrice which is prepared from Vegetable without the aid of any mineral or pernicious ingredients whatever. It imparts a firm- ness and vermillion redness to the Gums, and sweet- ness to the Breath ; givps a pearly whiteness and bean.

A letter of the preceding day from the Island of St. Thomas, states, that the Spanish General Morillo had been compelled to abandon Margarita, which was Immediately oc- cupied by Bolivar, at the head of the Patriotic army, without a gun being fired. Bolivar had organized his^ army, and, from the daily rein- forcements he received, Morillo was deterred from making further resistance, and the place became an easy and speedy conquest. The greatest unanimity prevailed among the officers in the Patriotic army, which had recently been joined by a great innnb'er of experienced French officers, whose military tactics had been of es- sential service in promoting the success of the Independents. The letters and papers by the Mail from Grenada are to the 24th of August, They state, that on the 8th and 9th of that month the greater part of the Spanish Royalist squadron, consisting of 17 sail, arrived there from the Oronoko, commanded by Brigadier De Torres, in the corvette Mercia. Tl| e refugees admittted that they had been compelled to eva- cuate Angustura, and that four of their vessels had been taken by the independents. They had sent advice to Morillo of their situation, and were to remain at Grenada for further orders.- - i/< e of the 11 Ih ult. states, that Admiral Brion had followed the Spanish squadron to Grenada, where it held them closely blockaded. It also states that the Spaniards had been twice beaten by him before they put MAIDSTONE, Oct. 28. HOP INTELLIGENCE. Sonthh- ark, Oct. 27.— Our Hop trade has been rather dull the last three or four days, and is particularly so to- day for Bags.— We consider our pi ices about as. per cwt. lower than our last quotation. The public in this neighbourhood have been much agitated by an infamous and malicious report, that Ihe MAIDSTONE BANK had stopped • payment; in conse- quence of w hich a considerable run upon that establish- ment ti ok place on Saturday last, but to guard the Pro- prietors against injury as well as to appease the alarm of the public, the principal inhabitants of the town im- mediately assembled and with prompt unanimity caused the following hand- bill to be printed and published in every direction, and the same being signed by the Mayor and every respectable inhabitant who could at the mo- ment he consulted upon the subject, the good elfect was soon manifested. " MAIDSTONE BANK. " We the undersigned Inhabitants Of the Town of Maidstone; having heard the False and Scandalous Re- port in circulation respecting the MAIDSTONE BANK, do hereby publicly express our full confidence in the said Bank, and our firm belief that such Report has origi- nated iu the evil minds of some Malicious slid Ill- dis- posed Persons without the least foundation whatever.— And we feel it an Act of Justice to the Gentlemen concerned in the Maidstone Bank, and to the Credit of the Town, thus publicly toexpress our opinion, and also our detes- tation of the conduct ofthe Base Fabricators or E11- eouragers of such ail injurious, malicious, and unfounded Report. A Mail arrived on Saturday from Hamburgh with papers to the 17th instant. The accounts from Sweden represent that country as in a mis- erable state, froui the stagnation of trade, and want of money. A new Treaty of Commerce between Sweden and Russia was speedily ex- pected to be published. The Emperor Alex- ander has permitted the Poles to erect a monu- ment to the memory of the late Prince Joseph Poniatowski, who was one of the bitterest enemies of the Russians. Several experienced pilots had been sent from Copenhagen to con- duct the Russian squadron from Revel into the North Sea ; it consists of five ships of the line and three frigates, which, it is no longer a secret, have been sold to Spain. The transac- tion, however, shews the- peaceable disposition of Russia in parting with so many ships, and the total inability of Spain to make war, by being obliged to purchase of another state ships for the transport of a few of her troops to South America. .

This voluntary and unsolicited tribute of confidence and respect could not but be highly gratifying to the Proprietors of the Bank, who answered the applications of the public in the most expeditions manner, and kept their office open till eleven o'clock at night; and we hear that they will continue to exceed the usual hours Of payment whilst any of the ferment excited by this evil report shall continue to exist. Altho' we cannot but regret that any respectable establishment of this nature should, by such idle and wicked reports, be put to in- convenience, yet we must congratulate the Proprietors of this Bank as w ell as the public upon this event ; the former, for the unanimous and energetic testimony of so great a number of the respectable inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood, and the latter on the security of their properly, so fully evinced by the easy manner in which every demand was instantly met, and which continue t!) be most satisfactorily discharged. Such occurrences as these, which generally originate in the depravity of a disappointed or malicious individual, appear to us to have some beneficial results. They afford a serious lesson to all establishments of this description, and must in a great measure opeiate to prevent a practice which the public has had so much reason to condemn, both from its iniquity as well as from the losses already su's tained, viz.— an improper and speculative use of public credit. The judicious discrimination and prudent con- duct exercised by the MAIDSTONE BANK now meets a high reward, iu finding its resources free and un- shackled, and consequently always applicable to their proper end, namely- THE JUST DEMANDS OF THE PUBLIC'.

A Wonderful Cure of a Scald Head. To Dr.. SMITH, UPTON MAC. A. DeAR SIR,— We think ourselves bound in r gratitude to you, for the cure of a child of our's, who was seitt to a Boarding School in this County; she had not been there six weeks before she catched a disorder in her head, ( called the Scald Head). The people belonging to the place did every thing iu their power to cure the child, with outward applica- tions; there were five children in that condition, be- fore this child; who were attended by the Shrewsbury Doctors, and no doubt they put plenty of quicksilver, and other poisonous prescriptions, to dry the outside, while the disorder continued underneath. At length ten hoies appeared upon the head, and the top of the skull displayed a spectacle of horror: this child is pletely cured, and the head entirely free from blemishes, by taking only two small bottles of Plongbman'sDrOps, and using the salve. The child is now in perfect health, and the hair in a beautiful and flourishing condition, - and may be seen at Shrewsbury any day. > N.

The French Papers of Wednesday arrived rii) Saturday, but contain 110 particular information. A conference took place011 Wednesday between the Duke of Wellington and the Ministers oi Russia, Austria, Prussia, and ti e Netherlapds, and the Duke de Richelieu. The Spanish and Portuguese Ministers were not present. The conference may, therefore, have related to the affairs of those two latter Powers. On Tuesdav the Council of State was occupied in examining the project of law respecting the liberty ofthe press. The King is to lay the foundation stone of the new statue of Henry IVthi, on the Pont Neuf, on Tuesday next. Lord Whitworth and the Duches of Dorset ar- rived safely in England 011 Wednesday evening last. They have taken the splendid house, in Grosvenor- square, lately occupied by Mr. Hart Davies. They are both in excellent health. The Hon. Algernon Percy has arrived from London at Rome, where he has presented the Cardinal Secretary of State with a valuable snuff- box, in the name of the Prince Regent of Eng- and, who has received the MSS relating to the iouse of Stuart. We feel highly gratified in being authorised to - sure the friends of Sir W. Curtis that there is no truth in the report of his being dangerously ill. He has suffered a slight attack from the >>< W from the effects of which he is rapidly recovering. The worthy Baronet possesses his usual fiovv of good spirits The colossal statue of Buonaparte, by Canova, now in the possession of the Duke of Wellington, has been erroneously said to have been presented to the Duke by the Prince Regent. It was pre- sented to his Grace by the King of France.— This grand piece of sculpture is worthy of the great artist by whom it was executed, and the marble is unique in point of purity and colour Several table services, and a considerable number of fine vasses, which the Emperor of Austria has ordered to be prepared as presents for the Queen, the Prince Regent, and the Prin- cess Charlotte of England, are now exhibited at the Imperial Porcelain Manufactory. The con- noisseurs particularly admire the apothesis of the Emperor Augustus, painted 011 one ofthe asses, . Hid the original of which is in th'e Impe- rial Gallery. These presents will be forwarded n a few days for England Soon after the return of the Ann, Captain Daniels, from France, on Thursday, it was ru- moured, and perhaps correctly, that Frederick the Prussian, had been tried for the murder of Mr. Phillips, near Abbeville, found guilty, and sentenced, first to have his right hand chopped off, and then his head. On Friday evening last, was performed at Hadlow, a peal of 5040 bob majors on eight bells in 3 hours and 9 minutes. It is several years since so many changes were produced from the same bells, aud the peal was conducted and executed in a masterly style,— The Ringers were— Fine Ditto White ... Fine ...

On Tuesday lite 21st instant, the Society of" Happy Britons," established 1805, in commemoration of the glorious victory gained over the combined fleets of France and Spain off Trafalgar, by the immortal Nelson, held their Twelfth Anniversary Festival at the Prince of Orange Inn, Gravesend, with all their wonted hi- larity and good humour- The dinner, as usual, was served up in a style of superior excellence, and did in- finite credit to Mr. Wm. Rowe. The Company was select and comprised some ofthe most respectable in- habitants of the town. A great variety of toasts and songs appropriate to the. occasion enlivened the festive board, which was conducted with all due . decorum, and aUi seasonable hour the company departed highly gra- tified with the day's entertainment. Gravesend Fair commenced last Friday, and consi- dering the dillness of the ( lav was well attended and much business done. Abeut 200 Sheep, 26 Cows, 50 Horses, and 300 Swine were proffered for sale. Nr. Taylor, of Northfleet, and Mr. Friday, of Gravesend, acted as chief salesmen • great notice'was taken of near a score of fine Pigs the property of Mr. Samuel Bayley, of Swainscomb.— O11 the second day two young pickpockets ( strangers) were detected in the act of stealing a watch from a gentleman's fob, they were taken immediately in custody, and likely, after an examination, will be escorted to the county gaol. Dartford, Oct. 25.— During this week an extra impor- tation arrived at Ihe Bridewell, in this town, from Gravesend, consisting of near a dozen male and female vagrants. The females were all well clothed prosti- tutes, long residents at Gravesend f and among tlie males one was recollected as being in custody for a felony about twelve months since. They all arrived ( apparently) in good health, but it is doubted whether they or the county will be benefited by their temporary change of a month's air. Commitments to the County Gaol, since our last:— William Shipley Creswell, charged with personating Joseph Walker, with intent to receive prize- money due to him, and to defraud the Commissioners and Gover- nors of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich-— Rebecca Murphy, charged with stealing in Gillingbam, some wearing apparel and nineteen shillings in silver, the property of Humphry Villars. Early on Thursday morning the following convicts, were removed, under a strong guard, from his Majesty's Gaol at Maidstone, and put 011 board the Hulk at Slieer ness, for transportation, viz.:— Edward Martin, Wil- liam Godden, Richard Turner, Thomas Hutchins, William Lander, Thomas Dungate, James Grant, Wil liam Hancock, and William Dorrell, PRICE OF LEATHER.
