Sts—l am anxious to call your attention, and that of your Ultmerous readers, to a subject of the highest Importance to our Church Establishment, namely, the Commutation of Tithes,which has lately been agitated in Parliament, and which I take to be another masked battery opened against that Establishment. I bad written you a very long letter on this subject, when a friend put into my hands a work, by the Reverend CHAILIAS Mourne, Rector of Quarley, Hants, on the Spirit and Constitution of the Church,' in their relation to the general welfare of the State a work which ought to be in the possession of all true supporters of our Church Establishment. And as I find this able Champion has ex pressed himself on this very subject much better than I could pos sibly do, I take the liberty of copying his sentiments. After showing how intimately the mode of provision by the system of Tithes Is connected with the efficiency of the Church, he thus sums up hie wend reasoning on the subject. LAICUS. " As far as such a measure is eeconcileable with justice, we may desire to act confOrmably with her dictates. In making such coo version, it may even be our wish to place the most liberal interpre tation on the value of their claims. We may calculate their exigen. ties and seek to provide for them, even on the widest and most extensive scale. But when we think our purpose has been thoroughly attained, bow long can we depend upon chose edges. des continuing the same ; that they shall be adequately answered by the calculations we have made ? The wealth of one age becomes the poverty of the next. Repeatedly has it happened In the past, nor can wE say how often it may again occur, that the Cottage had been adorned .by that which the Palace bad been proud to own. That which has been prized as the refined enjoyment, or even blamed as a luxurious indulgence of the rich, by the natural course' of circumstances has been converted into the simple accommoda tion of the poor. Utilels, therefore, you can set bounds to the discoveries of science ; unless you can number the combinations of art; unless you can place a limit to the fertility of nature, and ar resting by these means the genius of improvement, say, thus far, and thus far only, shalt thou go; in one period of society you ' never can define what shall be the wants, what shall be the neces saries, what fhall be the temperate enjoyments of the next ;—far less were it possible to foretell what portion of your wealth, at any given time. shall be, at another, equal to their purchase. Let the period at which we would enumerate the former, at which we give a fixed denomination to the last, be a period when society is rapidly .progressive, and inevitably do we fix a time when the provisioO of the Church, which shall he regulated by it, must become totally Inadequate to every necessary purpose."

About One o'clock on Tuesday morning last, an aged couple, named Hinds, inhibiting rather a lonely cot tage near the I , Decoy," in the pari.h of Skellingthorpe, were awakened by two persons inquiring the road.— Having received their answer, the parties apparently took their leav e, with thanks, but in a short time after wards they w ere observed by the alarmed inmates to be in the act of closing the window-shutters. Having thus shut out the moonlight, which would have discovered their features; the fellows began to force the door, and alter an inefirectuil resistance from the old people, made an entrance, demanding their money with much lough usage, and horrid threats of worse. The poor old min protested that he bad no money ; but being further pushed, he acknowledged that he always gave it to Lis wife, who was accordingly obliged to produce the hoard, containing four 51. and one It. notes of th • Lincoln bank, with some silver, and an acknewledgment of the same bank for 501. which the old people had for tunately deposited them.

HOME Arm 4: The trial of Thomas Irons. for the murder of Susan Froggatt, on the 29th of Februarg. at H rne-hill, in this county, excited an nnts.ual sensation, and long be fore the Judge arrived the Court was crowded. The prisoner, on being placed in the dock, exhibited great agitation, aad continued during the whole of the trial with his handkerchief to his face. He was accom modated with a chair. The indictment charged the prisoner with having wil fully murdered Susan Froggatt on the 29th February. Mr. THICSIGER, who conducted the prosecution, stated the charge, and called the following witnesses : Harriet Fidt—l am cook in the service of Mr. Lang- ton the prisoner was footman in my master's service. I also knew the deceased, Susan Frnggatt. On the morning of the 29th of February, my master left home, as aho did the prisoner, who return-al about five o'clock in the afternoon. He left home about half past ten or eleven in the forenoon. I saw him return from the di rection of Camberwell, and he rang the house bell, and was let in by Susan Froggatt. The prisoner and de ceased went into the kitchen ; the former appeared to have heen drinking a little. The deceased was sitting, and the prisoner was standing up, in the kitchen. They were conversing together rather angrily. I heard her say he should not make such a noise about the house— that he ough: to know better. To which he replied. " I shall not mind what you say, for you shall not be mistress over me." He added, that all she wanted was to get him out of his place; and if she wanted that, he should take her up to her master when he came home. The deceased said he might do that if he pleased, for she was ready to gn. The prisoner said, if she got him out. of his place he vor uld blow her brains out. The deceased dip not reply to that. The prisOner then left the kitchen, saying, before he went out; that if she had any thing to say, to speak then. The deceased replied, " 1 have nothing else to say." The prisoner then said', " Good hye," and lest the kitchen. He returned in a few minutes to the kitchen, but said nothing. /kite/ having washed his hands, he left the kitchen, and I heard him enter the pantry. In a few minutes after, he returned the seconJ time ; he did not speak, but walked across the kitchen, and sat down in a chair. He sat there a quarter of an hoar before Jones came in, and during that time did not speak. When Jones came, he called me into the dairy ; arid' in about two minutes after I had left, I heard the report of fire arms; upon which I went into the back kitchen, and looked through a window into the front kitchen, and saw the deceased lying on the floor. I then ran to the stable to call the .coactinan, and from thence went into the shrubbery. After a little time I went into the back kitchen. There staatmst, great number of people there at the time, and I saw ,the prisoner amongst them. I asked the prisoner hoW he caine to do such a thing ? and be made no an swer; Previous to this day, the deceased and prisoner lived on such terms as servants usually do. By. Mr. BaonniMt—When I saw the prisoner coming home, •I was up stairs with the deceased, who went down before me. When I went down, I saw the de ceased and prisoner together. The kitchen is under ground.' The conversation between the m passed very soon. The distance between the kitchen and pantry "as very short. Never saw any thing in his hand. He did not speak to me during the time. Nathaniel Jones examined—l am under gardener to Mr. Langton. Remembers the night of the 29th of Fe rum y taking some milk into the dairy. near six o'clock. I called the cook to. assist me; she came; and I after wards, in about two minutes, heard the report of fire arms. I immediately went into the front kitchen, which is about five Yards . from the Jai, y. On going into the kitchen, I saw the ptisoner and the deceased; she was lying on the floor, and the blood wan running down' the side of her head ; she was alive, but she could not speak. On the right side or her neck there was a deep wound, from which the blood was towing ; and the bone of her right cheek n as shattered to pieces. There were marks in the wall made by shot, about two feet from 'where she war lying. The prisoner said, " Put the fire out," and I then perct ivcd that the deceased's gown and collar were burning. I then went across the kitchen, and took her up, when she gave three or four heaiy sighs, and expired. The - prisoner said that h e had done the deed. adding," and I am your prisoner." , I told him I did not want any thing to do with him, and I attended to the deceased. I then asked the pri ioner if he had done it? and he replied that he had, saying that he bad put two charges of shot in the pistol and one charge of powder. The prisoner then pointed out the pistol on the dresser,' and showing his hand, said. " And this is the hand that has done the deed." His forefinger was- bleeding at the time. I then took up the pistol, the lock of which was warm, and seemed as if it had beearecently d scharged. During the time I was in the kitchen the prisoner said, " I have been waiting Poll a quarter of an hour for an opportunity to shoot her." I afterwards saw the prisoner in the back kitchen, but had no con versation with him. The prisoner appeared to have had something to drink, but not a great deal. Joseph Church, a constable, proved that he was sent for to Mr. Langton's a little after six on the night in question. He went into the back kitchen, and saw the prisoner and two or three other persons. Saw the de ceased lying in the front kitchen. The prisoner said, I have shot the woman, and I shall die for it." Cla• ridge, another constable, and I took the prisoner into custody. By Mr. BRODR/CC—The prisoner seemed in great 'agitation. a—, Claridge examined,—As soon as he entered the kitchen the prisoner held out his hand and said, " Cla ridge, come and take me, for I have murdered that poor young woman, and I won't make any resistance, for hete's the hand that fired the pistol off;" and, ex hibiting his finger, said, N and here's where it knocked the skin off and cut me." Witness added, that he then took him into custody. I afterwards saw the deceased, —she was dead. The witness here produced the pistol ancocked. J. B. Langton, Esq. examined—The prisoner was in my service nearly two years ; the deceased was also in my service seven years and a half. About eleven o'clock on the morning in question I left home, not having sleets the prisoner leave. I heard of the circumstance on my way home. The pistol produced is mine. I kept it in my sleeping-room, generally unloaded. I pave powder and shut in my house, but always kept it ander lock and key. By Mr. BRODRIOC—The prisoner always conducted himselt extremely well while with me. By Mr. THRSIORR.--I found a shot belt and powder flask the following morning in the footman's pantry ; t hey are not my property. By Mr. BRODRICK....-1 understand the prisoner went out occasionally to shoot birds. Toe witness Harriet Fisk was recalled.— She said that the prisoner, and all of them, had been good friends while at dinner, on the day in question. Fiederick Barker examined—l am coachman to Mr. Langton. OA the night of the 29th of February. ai I was going to town, I saw the prisoner a quarter brio , e four coming from Leidon in t h e direction olUersorasa , Hill. He. held up a kind of strip In bis right h.ss4s it seemed to be a shct belt. Mr. Robert Young examined--I am a surgeon, re siding at Camberwell. On the wrening, about half pad s ix, I was sent for to Mr.Longton's house, and on gdOng into the kitchen saw the body of the deceased. She was then dead. Oa examining the body, I found two wounds, one on the left angle of the jaw, and the other on the left cheek immediately under the eye ; they weer evidently inflicted by fire arms, and her deatb, I have no doubt, was occasioned by them. This being the whole of the evidence for the pro secution, The JUDOS asked the prisoner whether he wished to say any things he replied in the negatives Mary Ann Jenkins—Washed for the prisoner; on the day in question I heard the deceased say, on the steps of the kitchen, , 4 if he does not hold his tongue, I shall soon get some one to make him." . The prisoner was there,' and he seemed to be much agitate& I said. Hush. what's the matter ?" and - the prisoner said. Teat's what I want to know." He stamped his feet on the floor, and hainmered his fists together ; he also beat his fists on the dresser. After this the prisoner said, that the deceased bad used offensive expressions to him, and accused her of striking him. The deceased said that be had gone out and got drunk, and come home and kicked up a row. When the prisoner said that the deceased had used the offcnsive expressions to him, she did not deny it. I was ordered out of the kitchen by .he young woman. From what I saw; the prisoner did not appear like a man in his senses. By Mr. Mama—Harriet Fisk was there part of the time that I remained. When I went away I left her there. The psis ner appeared to - be in liquor. He was exceedingly violent. The JUDGE - here proceeded to sum up the whole of the evidence, and at the conclusion addressed theJurv, observing that not the slightest evidence had been given to prove that the prisoner was insane at the time of the commission (I "the offence. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to be hanged on Monday. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLOUCF.STER, Aram 3. ' CROWN SlDZ.—Before Mr. Baron VAUGHAN. Janes Arnold and Thomas Wails were indicted for having assaulted John Pinnock on the King's highway, and taking from him two sixpences and some halfpence. Mr. JUSTICE, in stating the case to the Jury, said that there was in this case one peculiarity which it w..s his duty to point out to them. Two other men had been apprehended and committed to gaol, charged with this offence, on the oath of the prosecutor's son; a ho was with him at the time the robbery was committed, and it was not till after they had been some time in confinement, that they were, by the discrimination' of a magistrate, discovered to be innocent, and the present prisoners apprehended. If the charge rested told)" on the testimony of the prosecutor or his son, Le shoal.' say that such evidence was not suf cient. after the mistake which had already taken place; but the Charge against the prisoners would be substantfated by other means, which he would not allude to kismet., 'as, until proved to be unobjectionable, it could not b recelied- • * in evidence. John Pinnock, a labouring man, said Chit 'on thi- • night of the 27th of Octriber - last, he passed th'soiigh .• - Cirencester about twelve o'clock ; he was accompanied *)•• by his son, who was riding with Piths on a dority: They were on the road to Crcklade. Slimily after. lard • . men, whom he had seen standing at the comer of •i" lane, came up to lt;m,:and asked hint for some mom* . ' to buy some beer. He replied he had got very little as spare, or he wouldfgive them some ; one of them tttiin • '" ' took hold of the head the don kv, and Occulter struck . him on the thigh with a stick. The witness's son laid, ' ^ ' " For Gon's sake, father, give them money and let them • go." The witness did not know how mach Money/lie had in his pocket at the time, and one of theme's put his hand in and took some. He would not venture to• sear to the prisoners at the bar being the men, as Ire teas did not think they were the men. John Cambridge said, he was cousin of the prisoner ••• •- Arnold. He remembered the day of the robbery. He saw Arnold a few days after, when he said to witress— " John, 1 did such a thing list Saturday night that . 1 will never do again; but it was want drove me to it." • The witness inquired what it was, to which the prisoner answered, 4, I was With another man, and we took two half-crowns and some halfpence from A man with 'a •, (funky, on . the Cricklade read." The witness laid . to him, "Jem, if 'you don't alter your ways, yob wi'l come to a bad end." On the Thursday after that he saw the prisoner Arnold again. He had heard that two men were in custody for the robbery, and said to Ar nold, "Jem, there is two ponr men going to suffer lor what thee did ;" to which Arnold replied, " Hold your tongue—it was not they that did it ;" and shortly after this, the prisoner enlisted in the Plymouth divisi n of Royal Marines (in whose uniform he appeased at the bat). The witness, in consequence of this, went to M. Cripps, the Magistrate, and Inlurnr.d him of the facts, when he,sent for the prisoners. Joseph Cripps, Esq. magistrate of the county, stated that from the information tie received from the last witness, he was induced to undertake th- investigation of the business, and sent for the prisoner Arnold, who, without any threat or promise, made a confession of the circumstances of the case, stating that he had born miserable in his mind, because two other men had been taken up for the offence. ' The confession was then read. Elisha Castle, a constable of Cheltenham, said he ap prehended the prisoner Watts on another charge; he gave the name of. Belcher-. the witness having heard be was implicated in the robbery of Pinnock, asked Watts how much he had taken from the man he hid robbed in the Cricklade road ? He said they had only taken two sixpences frr m him and some halfpence. He said he was glad it had come out, as he had never been easy in his mind. The prisoners, on being called on for their deft nce, said that they had certainly stopped the.prosecutor, but they only asked him for the money , telling him they were in great distress, and he gave it them. They had neither used any. threats nor violence. They then called a witness, who gave them both good characters for honesty. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN having summed up Oil evi dence, the Jury found the prisoners Nat Guilty.. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN told them they had boil . ; had a very narrow escape had they been convicted, he should have suffered the law to take its course, and he hoped this would be a warning to them.
