CLARE ELE'CTION. The precedent that mosi nearly applies to the ease of Mt. O'Connell. seems to be that of Mr. Archdale, a Quaker, who .va , returned ' or the Borough of Chipping Wycomb. in the year 1698, as appears by the following extracts from the Journals, vol. xii. p. 386: " Merril, S die Jantiarii. " The House was, according to order, called over, and t►e names of such members as made default were noted down, and :! , eir names being called over a second time, several of them were accused upon account of their being sick, and others upon the toad coming up, and others upon account of extraordinary occasions in the country. • • - " And the name of John Archdale, Esq. a burgess for the bo rough of Chipping Wycomb, in the county of Bucks, being called over a second time, Mr. Speaker acquainted the House that Mr. Archdale hadlseen with him this morning, and delivered to him a letter sealed, which :dr. Speaker presented to the House, and the same was opened and read, and is u followeth, viz. " ' London, the Sd of 11th month, Jan. 1698-9. Sin—Upon the call of the House it will appear that I am duly chosen and returned to serve in Parliament for the svrough of Chipping 't`iycomb, in the county of Bucks ; and therefore I request of thee to acquaint the Honourable House of Commons the reason I have not as yet appeared; which 1., that the burgesses being voluntarily inclined to sleet me, I did not oppose their inclinations, believing that my declarations of bdelity, &c. might in this case, as in others where the law requires an oath, be accepted; I am therefore ready temente my trust, if the House think fit to admit of me thereupon; which I du humbly submit to their wisdom and justice ; and shall acquiesce wits what they wia be pleased to determine therein, " ' This being all at present, I remain, '" Thy real and obliged friend, " ' JOHN ARCHDALE.' " Ordered, That the contents of the said letter be takes into eorlitieration upon Friday morning next. Ordered, That the said Mr. Archdale do attend this House . upon Friday. morning neat. reseris, 6 ‘e .Taitierii. 44 The House being informed that Mr. Archdale attended. ac cetding to order, his letter to Mr. Speaker was again read ; and the i I Statutes qualifying persons to come into and Wt and vote In this House. were read, viz. of the 30 Carl. 11. 1 Will. et tlsriz, and 7 and 8 Will. et Maris ; and then the said Mr. Arch dale was called in ; and he came into the middle of the Hanse l al. most to the table. 0‘ And Mr. Speaker, by direction of the House, asked him wise. tiler he had taken the oaths, or would take the oaths, appointed to qualify himself to be a member of this House; to which be replied, that in regard to a principle of his -religion, be had not 'taken the oaths, nor could tale them. And then be withdrew. • ' " Ordered, that Mr. Speaker do issue Me warrant to the Cletki of the Crown, to make, out a new writ for electing a bargees to serve In this present Parliament, for the borough of Chipping Wy. comb. in the county of Bucks. in the room of the said Mr. Arch. dale, who haat refitsed to qualify himself to be a Menace of ibis HAM, by taking the oaths by law appointed for that purpose:. La't week Mr. Thomas Leslie, of North Shields. butchered& cow which he bought or a person at Holly. well, who informed him that the animal had eaten ow half of his waistcoat in the year 1816, in the pocket of which was some money. This caused him to examine the bag, in which he found two sixpences and some butons, which were nearly decayed. The silver is grestly defaced, butahe date still visible. Two brothers, of the names of Peter and Joseph Anys; have been recently tried at Brussels, for robbing and murdering a young woman of the, tame of Peeters, to whom t':e latter prisoner was about to be married. 'Their vittim had been seen going into the cottage e the prisoners, with 43 crowns in her possesion, and ha aftet wards ran nut, pursued by the prisoners. and in is few days her body was found in the river Denda. The brothers were suspected and arrested, and a strong ch• cumstaa al evidence was adduced against both of them. Another brother of the prisoners had confessed to the robbery. Thejury found the prisoners guilty of robbery attended witis,violence, but acquitted them .of the murder. A singular but fatal accident occurred to an infant ahem nine months old, at Mead-row, near Godalming, ch the 16th inst. From the evidence before a Coronet's Inquest. it appeated that the mother of the child (the wile of a labouring man, named Duke), who lived i a cottage by the roadside. had, during the absence of her husband at work, dressed her babe, and left it in bed in an enclosed apartment (without any attendant). o a stump bedstead, by the side of whichwas a bucket o water she had neglected to 'remove; that about half an hour afterward", one of the neighbouring eottager's cbildtersaihaving accidentally gone into Duke's cottage; discovered the infant in the bucket, with its head•corn. pletely immersed in the water, having, as it was eel. • dent, rolled off the bed into it, and although assistance was at hand, and every effort eised to restore suspended animation, it was unavailing. Verdict,Accidental Death. An Inquest was held at the King's Arms. James., street, Buckingham-gates on the body of T. Darman, • aged 77. H. Walker stated that, on Saturday week he was alarmed by the screams of the deceased, who kept • a donkey aad tart; and on going to him found both him and the duakey on the ground, the latter having deceased's leg in his mouth, which it was biting most • tensely, and it was not till he had stunned the animal by repeated blows on the head that he could extricate 'it. The leg %S as moat dreadfully lacerated. and deceased was taken to the Hospital, where be died.—A Juryman asked what had become of the animal ? and was told •it had been sold through two or three different hands, each of whom had been apprised ri the circumstance.' The widow said her husband had had it five years, and it was only within three monthilt had become vicious. •The Jury said it ought to have been killed, and returned a verdict •of killed by the bite of a donkey, with a deo dand of 1.1. 1 Is:6d. its full value ; and directed a con stable to search fur it in order that it might be destroyed. The late Lord Hermand, when presiding on a trial Where life or death was at stake, was proceeding with that solemnity which distinguishes our Justiciary C ourts ttrer those of our neighbours, when a wag entered the Court, and set a musical snuff box a playing " Jack's Alive" upon one of the benches. The venerable Judge, who was to the last most admirably acute, stared for an instant at a sound so unusual in a Court of Justice, and nev i a frantic demeanour exclaimed—" Macer, what, is the rt +me of GOD, is that ? The officer looked around bid e in vain ta answer the inquiry, when the wag ex claimed—" It's Jack's • Alive, my Lord."--in Dead or alive, put him out this moment." "We canna grup him, my Lord.". 4, If he has the att of Hell, let every man assist to arraign him before me. that I may com mit him for this outrage and contempt." Every one ep-. dearoured to discover the author of this annoyance, but h e had pet the check upon the box, when the sound for a time ceased, and the Macer informed his Lordship that the person had escaped. The trial proceeded, when, in about half an hour, sounds of music again caught the ear of the Court. "Is he there again?" exclaimed his Lordship. "By all that sacred, if he shall escape me this tinse—fence bolt, bar the doors of the Court. and, at your peril, let a man, living or dead, escape." All Was now bustle, uproar, and conkion; but the ,search was equally vain as before. His Lordship be gan to imagine that the sound was something more Than earthly, and exclaimed—" This is a deceptio auris ; it is absolute delusion, necromancy, phantasmagoria," and to the hour of his death never understood what occasioned the annoyance that day to the Conit.— Edinburg/I Paper. PUBLIC MEETING AT BIRNINGIIAM. --~ . ABRIDGED !Inn( ZlRMlNbnelt 'JoMAU A Public Witting, to form an auxiliary branch of the Society for Promoting the Religious Principles of the licformation, has been held at the Royal Hotel.- The High Bailiff took the Chair. Captain GORDON, one of the Deputation from the Poem Society, stated the objects of this Society to be, to promote the religious principles of the Reformation, to assist the local Clergymen of Ireland. by the publi cation of tracts in furtherance of those principles and to circulate intelligence of the moral condition of Ire• land, and the state of the Reformation in that country. He wished it to be distinctly understood that the So ciety disclaimed all connection with politics, and held ent no temporal indatements to proselytism. The Rev. E. BURN moved the first Resolution. • R. SPoonen, Esq. seconded the Resolution. The Rev. Mr. 111 4 DouNELL complained of the con duct shown by the party opposed to him. He said the Roman Catholics in this town had endeavoured to live in peace with their Protestant brethren, in which en deavour they had succeeded ; but now, when the bonds of peace were scarcely cemented between the Catholics and Protestants, these were a number of emissaries sent among them froM a distant Society, for the purpose of exciting and ex9perating hostile feelings between. them. If they were so zealous for reformation, why need they look to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, when the Pro testants in their own country were sunk to the lOwest degree of crime; and it would 'be much better to try to reform them, than to cause disunion by trying to spread the Protestant religion in Ireland. The Rev. Gentleman then alluded to the crimes which he said existed among the Clergymen of the Church of Eng land, and asserted that the Protestant population of this country was becoming rapidly more &moral. He alluded to Luther, the first teformer, and commented on the immorality of his life after be had changed his faith; and he asked if this state of immorality which followed the first reformation was that to which the society now invited the people of Ireland? He concluded by moving as an amendment to the Resolution, that the meeting be forthwith adjourned. Captain GORDON, in reply to the Reverend Gentle man, after alluding to his attack upon the morality of the Protestants, said he should be willing to reduce the principles of the Reformation to that test.and he thought it would be found that the balance cf morality was ,much on the side of Protestants; besides, it should be remembered that most Prctestaots who were guilty of Crime were found to be totally ignorant of Protes trot principles, whilst the Catholics would be found to possess so ardent a belief in the principles of their re ligion that they would be willing to carry them to the stake. He quoted extracts from tbe Rev. J. Doyle's worts, to show what was the state of the morality ( f the Catholics of Ireland, from which it appeared, by that Reverend Gentleman's account, that the Irish po pulation in his district were living in the lowest state of 'vice, whilst there were not ten out of a hundred who would refuse, nevertheless, to shed their blood for the• preservation of their faith. What, he asked, could they expect from such a religion ? Could they .expeet it could ever beCome a fit instrument for the inculcation. of morality? With regard to what they were to give the Roman Catholics instead of their own faith, he would read to the Reverend Gentle Men the Roman Catholic articles of faith. He would Present them with the first twelve of those articles, *filch were formed pt the Council at Trent, and would throw the rest into the fire l as superibductions of the Church of Rome. • He• would also put into the hands of the Catholics the Gospel of St. John, and then they would be in possession of *full directory for their.faith. He then reverted to the at• tacks of Mr. M'Donnell on the character of Luther. That great man, he observed, was not the model of the Protestants, but the Scriptures alone afforded the model they,followed in the character of Jesus CHRIST. He read some extracts from Erasmus, however, to prove that Luther was a strictly mural instead of an immoral chatacter; and he said the chief fault of that great re former was, that he touched the Monk's belly end the Pope's crown—(The rallantCaptaio was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address). Mfr. M'Donnell's amendment having been seconded by Mr. Hurne, was put to the vote, and lost by a large majority. Two cheers were given on the Chaim:se announcing it to have been negatived. The Reverend Mr. Emutot., a,Catholic Prie t, next addressed the Meeting, previous to the putting the on gine' resolution. He principally directed the attention of the Meeting to those teats of Scripture in which the unity and unchanging nature of the Church of CHRIST are mentioned, which he considered to be iutended to apply to the Church of Rome. Mr. hl.Donnell and his friends complained loudly of unfair play during the discussion, principally because they were not altowed to speak for more than the pi-u -p:reed time, and to the expressions of disapprobation which, from time to time, hoist forth. 'rime Meeting was very well attended, and, though aufficiently noisy, there was not so much tumult as might have been an ticipated. Oti the 13th instant, a dead whale, measuring 51 feet in length. and 11 across the tail. was cast on ►hore on the-Duchess of Roxourgh's psi/petty, near Dunbar. Her Grace's agent sold it for 211. The expense of public buildings seems to be almost as great in France as in this country. The new prison for females, which is to be erected in Paris, will cost three millions of francs; whereas, at Geneva, the peni tentiary prison, which. though small, is reckoned the finest in Europe, cost only 285,000 francs; and at Berne, a new prison, which is now building, to contain 400 prisoners, will cost only 750,000 francs. It is with feelings of deep indignation we state, that during the last few days, some dastardly-minded fellows broke, disfigured, and cart iei away a considerable pot.- Lion of the Bore Stone, celebrated as that in which Banos erected his standard, on the memorable day when Scotland's freedom was achieved on the field of Bannockburn. This solid whir, which has stood so many storms unmoved, is now rapidly yielding. to the chisel and the hammer of the idly curious, or envious and invidious visitors; and it is a notorious fact, that a very considerable portion of the stone has been carried (iff within these few days, so that the bore or hole where the Scottish standard stood, is totally defaced and gone. There can be little doubt that the object of the barbarous spoliators has been to turn their theft to good account, by getting it fashioned into fanciful articles to be dis posed of as relics. We trust, ho% ever, that the contempt which the act must universally excite. will prove the means of destroying their hopes.—Stirling Advertiser.

M. this case, whi c h was on e o f div or ce, promoted by Mr. Tyrrell against his wife, by reason of adultay by her committed with the Rev. Mr. St. Aubyn. • Dr. Dolma, on behalf ref Mrs. Tyrrell, said he should best consult the interest of his client by offering no op• position, as he must admit the case was cle*ly proved on the part of Mr. Tyrrell. His MAIISTTI ADTOCATI very briefly commented on the circumstances of the elopement of Mrs. Tyrrell from her home with Mr. St. Aubyn, and Dr. Lusartrravos pronounced the case to be clesrly proved, and decreed the parties to be divorced from bed, board, and mutuAl cohabitation. /LINTON V. This was a suit instituted by Mrs. Flinten for a di vorce against her husband, on the alleged ground of cruelty and adultery, said to be committed by him.— The parties, who are in humble circumstances, were married in the year 1814, and continued to live toge ther as man and wife until November, 1826, when a separation took place, and the present suit was insti tuted by the wife. The fact of the husband's adulterr was clearly established, and by way of defence he in tern charged Mrs. Flinton with having been guilty of adulterous practices from the year 1821 to 1826, with no less than five different persons. The proofs to esta blish these several charges failed in part ; but sufficient evidence was adduced ;o infer that a guilty intercourse had existed between Mrs. Flinton and a person named Beven.—The COURT, under these circumstances, dis missed both parties with costs. waifs V. ways. This was a suit for a divorce, instituted by a solicitor named Webb, who resides at Bath, against his wife, op the ground of her adultery. Mr. Webb having leturneti suddenly to his house, discovered two strangers with his wife in the library, and it was pleaded that she had committed the crime r f adultery with those persons. The usual proofs of identity hiving been exhibited, the Court admitted the libel f and pronounced for the divorce. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. • OXFORD CIRCLET. —WORCESTER, JULY O. Me. Justice Gaza Lee opened the Commission fir holding the Assizes of the Shire and of the City of Worcester on Saturday, apd this morning deliveied his charge to the Grand Jury. His Lordship took occasion to congratulate this county, as well as the others he had hitherto visited, upon the decrease of the number and magnitude of the crimes in the Calen dar. After explaining at some length the alterations lately introduced into, the Criminal Law by the Bills of Lord Lansdown and Mr. Peel, his Lordship cularly adverted to the onlytwo crimesof any magnitude which they bad then to take into their consideration. , — One of them was stated to be an attempt to violate the person of a child under the age of ten years, and the other was a charge of rape upon an adult. To the bills which would be laid before them, in reference to these charges, his Lordship directed the attention of the Jury, and at the same time hunfanely reminded them of the oft repeated maxim, " that there were no charges so easily preferred as those of violation, and none. winch it was so difficult to, disprove." He relied, however, with the utmost confidence upon the judgment and discretion of those Gentlemen who on the present Occasion formed the Grand Inquest of the coanty. The Jury then retired, and in the amuse of the day found a true Bill against John Cheese, fora rape ; and a true Bin for a misdemeanour against John spund, for an assault upon Ann Downes, a child nine years of age. / —Both the prisoners are to be tried to-morrow (twining. The other prisoners, about ten in number, were ar raigned and bland guilty upon various charges of petty thefts, and insignificant burglaries. They were ,see. tenced to various terms of imprisonment and transpor tation.—Upon the Civil .Side there were thirteen causes entered, but several of them were undefended, and'others compromised or submitted to arbitration. Worcester seems in truth to have been, since the last visit of the Judges, as free from subjects of civil conten tion, as from any very extraordinary crimes. NORFOLK CIRCUIT-BEDFORD, JULY 19. The Judges—the Lord Chief Baron Alexander and Mr. Justice Hob oyd—arrived yesterday and opened the Commission. This day, after attending Divine Service, Mr. Justice Holroyd proceeded to the Crown Court, and the Grand and Petit Juries were sworn. The Met qui, of Tavistock was appointed Foreman chile Grand Jury. Mr. Justice Houton), in his address to the Grand Jury, said it was a great consolation vs him that there were so few prisoners for- trial at the present Assize; and.that amongst them only two cases required any observation from him. The cases he refuted to were those of James East, for the murder of his wife; and Charlotte Lovell, for irson. These were circumstances in the first case of a very extraordinary description..-a The murder was said to have been committed so lung ago as the year 1821, and had been brought aq light by circumstances as singular as those under which the mur der was said to have been:perpetrattd. It would appear, that when the prisoner was committed for trial by the Magistrates, they were not satisfied that the female who was discovered to have been murdered was the wife of .thaprisoner, and he was committed for the murder of a female whose name was unknown. It would be material fur the Jury to atcettain if the deceas:d was actually the wife of the prisoner ; and if the evidence brought before them should not be of that description as to satisfy their minds that a Jury would convict thereon, it would be advisable that they should ignore the bill; for if the prisoner should be put on his trial and acquitted. be cas' not be again tried for the offence, though the most complete evidence or his guilt should be after wards obtained. The case of Lovell was extraordiaary ; she had, according to the depositions, set fire to her master's house, and, after'destroying the building, she set fire to the out-house of a neighbour. He was sure the Jury in a caie of so penal a nature, would take every circum stance into consideration consistent with humanity and justice. His Lordship directed the Jury to proceed. to the discharge of their important and soletom duties, and requested that bills might be brooght into Court as speedily as possible, so that the Courtmight proceed to the dispatch of business. Willians Gilbert, who had been capitally convicted at the last Assizes, of stealing four oxen, the peoptittof the Marquis of Tavistock, was placed at the bat.--The ' prisoner was tried before Mr. Baron Garrow, who re set ved a point in his favour, for the opinion of the Judges. Mr. Justice HOLROTD said, that on the trial it sp. pearedthat Mr. Baker, a servant of the Marquis of Teri stock, had tour oxen to sell at Ampthill fair, and the pri soner agreed , to purchase them f0r:461. 10s. and to. pay ready money for them. Baker proposed to . mark the oxen, but the prisoner oppoted it, and saidhe would,pay for them by-and-bje at the King's Arms. Baker went to the King's Arms at the time appointed, bat the primmer WAS not there. and on gain back to the Mullet t he found that. the prisoner bad driven away the oxen and sold sham, and he °mild notheiound till some time after, when be was apprehended. Biker MOM 'ou the trial that he did not consider the oxen to be sold and delivered to the prisoner till the money was paid.' The Learned Judge who tried the case left it to the Jury to say by their verdict, if they believed the prisoner origi nally intended to convert the oxen to his own use with out paying for them? and they decided, that they believed he newer bad any intention of paying for them ; and the Judges were unanimously of opinion, that under those circumstances the prisoner was proper'', convicted of the felony, and sentence of death would be recorded against him. IXICUTIOL Thomas Walker, the late Clerk of the Parish' of Oving, in the County of Bucks, was, on Monday, pur suant to his sentence, executed on the sop of Aylesbury Gaol. He was convicted of poisoning his wife, and'his trial was reported in Tin STAR of Monday. The cul prit took leave of his sons on Sunday, and . did not at tempt to deny his guilt. He was unable to walk to the gallows without the assistance of two of the Sheriff's men.—. The concourse of spectators that witnessed the execution was considerable, though but little sympathy was manifested in favour of the culprit. His body was cut down at nine o'clock, after banging an hoar,' and was given for dissection. HOME CIRCUIT.—CHELMSFORD, JULY ra. Yesterday the Judges arrived in the town, and pro ceeded to open the Commission, after which the Court adjourned to this day. The number of prisoners for this county is not very great, not exceeding thirty-fuur ; and Ow Cause . List contains seventeen causes. , Caowa Sioa.-13c1Ore Lord ThemaDan. His Lonnsnir commenced his Sittings at ten o'clock this morning, and having charged the Grand Jory, of whom Sir R. Henry Smith was the Foreman, he pro. ceeded to try prisoners'. • John Williams was indicted for ,stealing, on the 25th February, a bay mare, the property of Richard Stokes, residing at Epping. It appeared from the evidence, that on the day men tioried in the indictment the mare was seen in Mr. Stokes's field, and that on the following morning she was gene.. It was not until the following month 'that the prosecutor saw any thing of the prisoner, when finding him codceakd in one of his sheds, he took him into custody on suspicion. One of the witnesses proved that on the night the mare was stolen, he saw Williams. in the neighbourhood with a small saddle, tied up in handkerchief; and the prisoner's landl .dy swore, that on the day after the robbery besasne.home to Toole). street on a brown horse, with a small saddle; and six weeks afterwards the prisoner sold the mare to r peron 'living at Eden, near Seven Oaks, where it was fouVil. The CHIII Juana' summed up, and alter n few minutes deliberation, the Jury returned. a verdict of Guilty. • Mary Bass and Ana Wriest were indic4edfor hiejng stolen a piece of seyn ribbon out 0f the shop of Totin gobert Clarence. • .• . •• .From theovidence it appeared that the prosecutor missed the ribbon, and that it was like some ribbon found on the bonneb of the prisoners; but Clarence was unable .to identify it as his. The prisoners, in their defence, said that therhad found the ribbon; and the Cuter JUSTICX, aftereom• usentlng on the slightness of st;ir evidence, la ft the case to the Jury, who immediately acquitted the prisoners. Mary Beu was arraigned a second time, 101 'leafing three silk handkerchief' oalt of the shop of Th'eMall Hallam. The shopman or Mr. Hallam stated.that the prironer came into their shop under the pretence of buying something, and that when she quitted, a person of •the name et Roll* told him that he saw her 'snitch the three handkerchiefs out of a box, while his back was turned. A constable was accordingly sent to search.te pisonet, and through the information of her sister, de handkerchiefs were found in a cellar' near the rolecis• • tor's house. The Jury having found the prisoner Guilty, .she was sentenced to be tramsported for seven years. Joseph Mote yfd William r,laphain wereindicted for stealing a bull and three heifers, theproperty cfgOlosiel Carmichael. From the evidence it appeared, that the cattle in question were stolen off Staines Moor, and traced as far as Chigwell, in this county, after having been loft for 13 months. • . From the testidsony of the constable of Chigivell, it appeared that they had been in the possession of How, and two or three other persons, who seemed to take pis ' session of them by turns, till at length they were sold pby How, in company with the other prisoner. to a farmer of the name of Richardson, who gave 131. for them. The cattle were of a particular breed, having ' been imported from Ireland by Colonel Carmichael. In their defence, the prisoners stated that they had purchased the cattle of a person of the name of Mans field, who was subsequently transported, bet fdt* what offence did not transpire. The Jury f und a verdict of Not Guilty. • • William Clapham was again indicted ior stealing a Chesnut gelding from Staines.
