Theodore Moore was indicted for high treason on Bth and 9th William 111. c. ?.,0, sec. 1, which subjects any person to the pains of that crime who shall, withs Out lawful authority, knowingly have in his posses sion any instrument used ift coining the current money of the realm, not having been employed in any other manufacture or trade. The indictment charged him with so possessing certain edged and edging tools, for the parpose of milling the edges of counterfeit shil lings and half-crowns, in the manner employed in finish inq the coins of that descriptioa issued fr o m the Mint. The prosecution was instituted by order of the Mint. It appeared in evidence, that on the 26:h of May last, a cart was observed by the constable of Stoke upon-Trent, standing in a field near the Antel , pe public-house, in that parish, without any one in sight to manage it. As the field in which it stood had no path, and it seemed to he loaded, the constable sus pected something wrong—probably smuggled spirits— and determined to search it. About three o'clock in the afternoon, he, with two others, weat to the cart, and found there the pri Amer and Jolla Lawly, who hal been admitted to give evidence far Ole Crown. The constable asked what they had got there? to which Moore replied with an oath, " what is that to you r The constable stated what office he held, and ch-cla•ed his intention to search ; and while he was beginning to examine the cart Moore slipped away, but was shortly taken. In the cart was found a cask, containing the implements which were the subjects of prosecution, called collars, being round pier:es, of iron, open in the centre, and formed to mill the edges of coin of the size Of half-crowns. Five of these were discovered ; and also a press taken to pieces, and 14,000 blank pieces of metal of the size of half-crowns, but no edge. The collars, according to the evidence of officers of the Mint, re sembled those used for milling the edges of genuine coin; but these instruments had only been used since the year 1815, as before that time the coin was milled by a different process. John Lawly, the accomplice, gave a history of his connection with the prisoner since November last, when he entered into his service on his marriage with his sis ter. According to his testimony, they had gore from place to place, coining and disposing of shillings and half-crowns to a great extent, chiefly at Bursiem and Hull. A hundred dozen shillings were made in one day at Burslem, and 4.00 halt-crowns at Hull, which were disposed of to ci•culators. in exchange for linen, stuff, gold watches, and other light articles. This evi dence was confirmed by other testimony, shewing that Moore had gone from place to place in company with Lawly; that he had taken houses under suspicious cir tumstances ; and that he had received from Jews linen and watches, and given casks in return. It Was suggested, on behalf of the prisoner, that the case was not within the statute, as the instruments found in his possession were not used in the milling of coin till after it had begun to operate. Mr. Justice Hiram= said, that in case the prisoner should be convicted, he would reserve the objection fur the opinion of the twelve Judges. An atteihpt was then male to suggest that the collars might be intended for the finishing of medals; and a number of fancy medals were produced, obviously milled by such instruments; and a sister or rawly was called to contradict him, but failed to shake the material parts of his story. blr. Justice Bustaoustr, after reading over all the evidence, left the Jury to 'say whether the collar was an instrument used for milling coin ; whether it was employed in any other manufacture ; arid whether the prisoner had it knowingly in his possession? The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. ?dr. Justice BOAROCOH respited sentence, in order that the opi nion of the Judges might be taken on the point reserved, and ordered the prisoner to be detained till the next Assizes. CHARGE OF MURDER. James Bartley, a man of middle age and respectable appearance, was indicted for the murder of William Price, his servant. The indictment charged the murder to have been effected in several ways ; by striking on the head and neck ; by compressing the neck with a cord; and by drowning in the canal. The particulars of this case were given in the STAR of the 15th inst. For the prisoner, his own son, his daughter-in•law, and his daughter, distinctly proved- that they were in his presence, except for very short intervals, during the time that elapsed from his entering his own premises that morning, and his going to bed; and duting all that time a single blow had not been girtea to this boy by the pt ironer ; but that having taken his coat soon after he came in, he left the yard, and was not heard of. There was the additional circumstance in his favour, that it required the greatest exertion of strength. and it must have been after a violent struggle that the in juries were inflicted on the deceased; whereas, by the account of the different witnesses, tie deceased was a powerful, well-formed young man, more than a match for the prisoner. The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned a verdict of Net Guilty. An expression of applause was breaking forth, but was imme diately stopped by the prohibiting gesture of the Learned Judge. The prisuner,who had remained unmoved during the trial, bowed to the Judge and Jury, and was immediately discharged. HUNTINGDON, JULY 25. WELLS, GENT. V. SIMIGETTS, GENT. This was an action brought by Mr. Wells, att attor ney, of political celebrity, against Mr. islargetts, also an attorney, to recover damages for an alleged libel upon his character, which appeared in the HuntinOon Journal, on the 21st of May, 1825. Lord JOHN kill SE:A. was on the Bench. near the LORD CHIEF BartoN, during the trial. His Lordship was subpcsimed . by the plaintiff, but be was not examined. The Jury, which was special, being sworn, Mr. J11712.11t6/1 opened the pleadings, and read the libel. The defendant pleaded— fi rst, the general issue of Nut Guilty; and, secondly,justification; on which issue was joined. • Mr. STORKS said, that the duty devolved upon him of stating the case of Mr. Wells to the Jury. It so happened that a Paper, called the Independent Press, contained a paragraph, in the month 01 May last, in which the conduct of the police of this town was at tacked ; and in the following week a letter appeared its its real Paper, which was called the Hurttingelos Jour nal, daserving upon that paragraph ; and in t is letter was the libel in question, which he would now re id to the din y. It appealed on the 21st of May last:— Ma. Itorroa-1 was rather surprised to observe, in the istiepers awr Press sf last week, a censure on the police or I luntingdon.— Yet, mistake me not.

NOTTINGHAM, JULY 21 ,lehn Aka !, aged 20, was indicted for the mariJangh ter cif lts.tadwallader,in the town of Nottingham, on The 27tli..ti s r April last. Williarn ,Buxton examined.—l am a whitesmith, and in Apul lait.l was in the employ of Messrs. Lingford, G: Parliament street, Nottingham; the prisoner worked the Same shop, and on the afternoon of the 27:h of Aprillast, was employed upon a screw; the deceased came tip to the prisoner and said that the screw was too thin, to which the prisoner replied, " you old fool, chat do you know about it?" Upon this, the deceased seized the prisoner by the arm, and a warm altercation ensued. Meeke was pushed down; upon his recover ing himself, he stepped back, and picked up a screw- Otte, which was lying close to him, and he threw it at the deceased, The screw-plate struck the deceased be -I.ind the ear, and he immediately fell down ; he never tittered a word, but died in about two minutes. A doc t-r arrived in about ten mitin'es, but tve deceased was e:tite dead ; the blow did not appear to have twee given ith any . violence. Cross.examined by Mr. DENNIAL—The prisoner is : , bout 19 years of age; be and the deceased were on good terms, and the prisoner had generally borne the character of a quiet, inoffensive lad. The deceased had hurt the prisoner's leg against a piece of iron in throw ing him down. After he had killed the deceased, he appeared much distressed ; he has been in jal ever since, on the charge of the murder. Dr. Wiliiams, a physician, ri Nottingham, examined the body of the deceased, and found a laceration behind the left ear ; the wound allowed his finger to penetrate the skull to the inn.:r membrane, which was pressed upon by the fractured bones. The injury was calcu lated to produce immediate death. (The instrument, an iron screw-plate, of about 18 inches long, was shewn to the Jury.) The prisoner was now called upon for his defence. He urged Ids extreme grief at what bad happened, and that he had never intended to do the deceased any serious injury. Several witnesses then gave the prisoner an excellent character, and the Medical Officer of the Gaol deposed, that the prisoner, in being thrown down by the deceased, had received a severe injury in his leg. The Jury found the prisoner guilty of Manslaughter, but recom. mended him to mercy, on the ground of his previous good character. 14 VltDp. 7 horns Dewey, aged 28, was charged with the wilful murder of Maria Austen, on the 2d July, inst. by stab bing her with a knife. This case had excited consider. able interest in the town, and the Court was crowded to excess. The prisoner was a married man, and had cohabited with the deceased, who was also married,with three children, but had separated from her husband for some time, and at the period the offence was committed was far advanced in pregnancy. Mary Fallowell-1 am a single woman, and boarded in the same house with Maria Austen ; the prisoner also lodged under the same roof; I went into the deceased's room, about half-past ten on the night of the 21 July, and the prisoner fullowed soon after ; lie aked me what he had said the night before to Mary Austen, the daugh ter of the deceased? I said, you threatened to set ike her. he prisoner admitted he had said so, and the deceased then said that her children should n'st be controuled by him. He then went into his own room, which was on the other side of the passage, and returned, went up to the deceased, and struck her a violeet blow below the !eft breast, saying, . 4 There, then." The prisoner then returned in:o his room, and I heard him lay som(thiag on the table. I supported the deceased in my arms; she put her band to her left side and groaned. I de sired a daughter of the deceased to go and fetch her uncle, but the prisoner replied, . 4 Don't send for any one, for she is a murdered woman." 1 then asked the pri soner to latch a light,,,but he said, " Its of no use, she is a dead woman." He fetched a light, and went up and kissed the deceased, saying, " it will be the last time." The prisoner was going down stairs, and met the bro ther of the deceased, who said, " Tom, what have you been doing ?" He replied 4 4 Nothing." A Surgeon was then sent for, but before he arrived the deceased expired. I assisted in carrying the body up stairs, and on nisch ess tog her I saw her clothes were very bloody. I did not know that there had been any quarrel between them. The next morning I went into the prisoner's room, and ,haw three knives on the table, one of which, a butcher's ktrife, i delivered to the constable. I compaied knife with the cuts in the clothes of the deceased, and thought they corresponded in size. Cross-examined by Mt. Hew..—There was no fire or candle in the room • the prisoner did not lock his dour when he well out.— The knif e I found on the table in the prisoner's room early the Lest morning; the deceased did not wish anybody to be sent fur. have known the prisoner about half a year. and 1 always thought k a very quiet man.

Samuel Spzncer.-1 am one of the police officers of this town; I received a knife from the last witness, *shich I now produce. (The production of th's instrue merit, together with the clothes taken from the body of the deceased, and which were nearly saturated with olood, excited great sensation in Court. The knife was similar to those used by butchers, and had been made very sharp at the point). I compared the knife with the cut in.the clothes. of the deceased, and thought they corresponded. Maria Austen, a child of nine years of age, after being questioned by the Lea' tied Judge as to the nature of an oath, was sworn.--I am a daughter of the deceased, and was in the room on the night my mother was hurt. The prisoner came into my mother's room, and my mo ther told him he should have nothing to do with her children. ..... By the Jroce.—l saw the prisoner strike my mother ; I was atanding opposite my mother. Ann Whiting, the mother-in-law of the deceased.—l was sent for about half-past ten on the night et the murder, and. found my daughter dying ; I sent for a surgeon, but she died before he arrived ; I assisted in undressing her, and found a wound under her left breast, and a considerable quantity of blood. Mr. White.-. 4 am a surgeon in Nottingham ;on the 'night in question I was called to the deceased; she was then dead ; I examined the body the following day be tnre the Coroner's Inquest, and found that the left lobe v)f the liver had teen pet torated by some sharp instiu ment, and a considerable effusion of blood in the *o men ; the wound was about four inches deep, and had evidently taten given by a violent blow; I compared the Irnife r.o.V produced with the wound in the liver, and it precisely corresp,nded in s ze; thedeceasel watt tar advanced in pregnancy. The examination of the prisoner, taken before the Magistrates, wa, then put in. It contained a complete confe.sion of the murdt.i.

GENTLEMANLY SPURTS. Monday morning, as early as four o'clock, a ba rouche, drawn by four blood horses, and driven by postillions, was observed coining in the direction from Edgeware, at a very rapid pace. In the baroncbo were seated three or four young eent'emen of. vay dashing appearance, who alighted near the S iuthamp ton Toll-gate, and collected a vast quantity of stones, which they took with them into the carrage, which was instantly driven off with amazing rapidity, and had not travelled many yards before the Gentlemen in the carriage commenced an attack with their mi.siles upon every lamp and window that a stone could reach. They continued this along the whole line of road, and were pursued by the watchmen and others for a considerable distance; but wLen any of their pursuers gained Ni on them, they turned and pelted them with such effect, that many persons received severe cuts and contusrons. The barouche continued its course down PAt k•l4ne, through Piccadilly, and it was stated, was aftetwards seen gcing along Westminster-bridge, into Surrey. The parish of Mary-la-Bonne have offered a larg reward for the discovery of the pers-ns concerned in this scan dalous and mischievous transaction. As a reward has been offered, these gentleman., we should think, must be soon forthcoming, for as it does not appear that the postillions took any part in this' • low-lived froliF of their betters, they can have no inte rest in skreening the offenders. The amusement which was chosen for pastime upon this occasion is some;hing between the vocation,of the pickpccket amid the assassin. They had not perhaps money enough in their pockets to pay for the damage of which they wee guilty; and it is beyond a doubt that no one of them would have the manly courage to place himself within reach of the horsewhip of any of those whose property and repose he so Wantonly invaded. Weston Hatfield, the proprietor of a Huntingdon Newspaper, said, Mr. Wells was a friend of his ; he produced certain papers containing " the Petition of the Paup"" 44 Invitations to Vauxhall," &c. paragraphs eulogising these Gardens. One of the paragraphs con tained this passage—" The entertainments at Mr. Wells's gardens form a striking contrast to the usual dulness tat a summer's evening at Huntingdon." What tunes were played? National melodies, such as I remem ber to have heard when a boy in the market-place of Huntingdon, before all the constituted authorities of that place.—(Some applause was manifested at this answer, and the Chief Baron declared he would send any person guilty f such misconduct out of Court.) Cross examined—Were the persons who attended these prome nades despot and respectable females, and Gentlemen of the town? Yes; I think so. The " Petition of the Paupers" was then read,charging that the fruits of their labour had been applied to sup port tax-eaters and sinecutists. The Address to the Electors of Eye was also read. It corn meuced by declaring, that " no place, not even the . corrupt and degraded Borough of Huntingdon, owed a larger atonement to the i üblic, than the Borough of Eye. The master of " The National School" proved that a man was employed to take care that no improper person was admitted to Mr. Wells's garden. Mischievous boys assembled outside, attracted by the music. Mr. James was recalled, and stated, that at various periods he had heard Mr. Wells declaiming in a power. ful way about the Corporation. He remembered being present at a supper of the Burgesses, where Mr. Wells spoke of a Corporation in a degrading manner, charg ing them with venality and corruption. He spoke vio lently of Lord John Russell, for having favoured the doctrine of Malthus. The Learned Counsel for the plaintiff having replied, The Lean CHIRP Justice summed up the evidence, and the Jury having deliberated for half an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Demotes 40s. The trial occupied the Court from nine o'clock until six in the evening. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANG, JULY £7. YORK. JULY ts. HUTCHINSON V. lIAWKSWOISTH AND OTIIFRS. The defendant Hawksworh had met a ith the plain tiff Hutchinson, at a public•house at Pennestone, on the evening of the 6th r f April. In the plaintiff's company were other persons, named Dukes, Bedford, and Burley. llawksworth having left the room, Dukes said ta Hut chinson that he would do for him (Ilawksworth) that night, and afterwards he said he would kill him ; his companions cautioned him to hold his tongue, seeing that there were persons present who might put Hawks worth on his guard. Shortly after Burley and Hawks worth left the house and proceeded home ; they were immediately followed by Dukes aid Bedford, and in a l few minutes the plaintiff Hutchinson rent 'after the others. In the road Dukes and Hawksworth fought, but plaintiff was not with them ; on their return home Hawksworth said to Dukes' uncle, his nephew had robbed him of above one hundred pounds, and he would hang him. The charge was not repeated, but in the evening, when the parties were together, they all quarrelled, the tab:es and chairs were used in the fray, and they got the plain , iff under them, and beat him in a very cruel manner. \Vrigglesworth, a constable, came to the scene of dction, and urn being made acquainted with the circumstances, he handcuffed the plaintiff, for the purpose of having him as a witness against the others, and notwithstanding a large sum was offered as a secu rity he refused to take the handcuffs off. After a patient investigation, in which a number of witnesses were examined on both shies, the Jury returned a verdict for the plain tiff—Damages Ten Pounds. . ENNIS, JULY 21.

Marshal MACDONALD is for all the world a High lander in the outward man. In plain black clothes of a morning, one might easily pass him off for a Hebri dean parson, or at least.for a comfortable tacksman of Clanronald, which we believe was the status of his grandfather, one of the " seven men t f Uist," as they. ' are still called, who first declared themselves fqr Prince CAARLES, and emigrated to France alter Culloden.— MACDONALD though his father was born in t is country, and though he himself held a commission in the Isisw brigade in the French service prior to the Revobition, does rot speak one word of English. MACDONALD, of an evening, with three or four stars and his cordon 6/ea, looks very much the soldier, but he ha; ever of the a:r 'Wk. In conversation he is plain and unaffected, and I was much entertained with the care. less frankness ef one or two expressions; as, for " Ah pour ea—mais c' Emit dans k tents de noire brigan dage en Espagne." We suppose this is now the a cepted tone of those who, having won their honours under NA ' POLICON, are lucky enough to retain them under the auspices of the Lilies. The Marshal went to mass at the Catholic chapel, and greatly edified the congrega tion wi.h the unaffected devotion of his I-oks, and the solemnity of his esponses. He his lost his magnificept domains in Italy and Germany, but he has Iltunately., laid hands on a snug terre in France, to the value of 12,0001. per annum; so that the Marshal must, I WI pose, be one of the wealthiest, as he certainly has well deserved to be, of the set.
