MAJOR CARTWRIGHT. This extr.aprdintry individual has at length paid the c ommon debt of nature, at the advanced term of nearly eighty-three years. Major Cartwright had lately much declined in bodily health, and, during the last few days, no hopes were entertained of his recovery. His decay was so gradual, that The moment of his death was scarcely marked. Tie died at half-past six o'clock yes terday evening. His family was ancient and respectable. While a boy, Major Cartwright left his paternal roof to engage in the service of Fi edet ic the Great of Prussia; whence, however, he returned in 1758, and entered that of his own country. In 176'2, he became a Lieutenant. In 1771, he quitted his ship for the recovery of his health; but sickness could not reps ess the activity of his mind. He drew up a plan for a perpetual supply of English oak to the Navy, by cultivating the Royal forests. He was afterwards invited by Lord Howe to become one of the Lieutenants of the Queen, which he accepted ; but the dispute with Spain being adjusted, he retired from the Nary, after a service of thirteen years. In 1774 he wrote his first treatise nn politics, which was rapidly followed by several others. In 1798 he was at the capture of Cherbourg and the destruction of its navallaasin ; and in 1759 was in the glorious action on the French coast, when Sir Edward Hawke defeated Conflans. When Lord Howe, who commanded the Maguanime in the above action, was selected by the Admiral to make an attack on that part of the French flees which escaped into the river Vilaine, only one Lieutenant and two Midshipmen were taken by his Lordship out of his own ship to attend him on that important service. Mr. Cartwright was one of the latter. It was while with his Lordship that he shewed his daring spirit, by leaping from a 74 gun ship into the sea, as the ship was under sail, in • order to save the life of a young gentleman who had fallen overboard. He distinguished himself under Sir Hugh Palliser and Ad miral Byron, at Newfoundland, for five years succes sively, by his able and upright administration of justice in the extensive districts committed to his jurisdiction ; and he will also be remembered in that settlement, as the discoverer of the country to the very centre of the island, to %Inch he penetrated through unexplored woods and retreats of hostile savages, with the view, amongst other generous purposes, of rendering them friends, and affording them the means of becoming Christians. In 1775, he published a pamphlet, entitled American independence, Me Interest and Glory of Great Britain. In the same year, Mr. Cartwright received his commis sion as Major of the Nottinghamshire Militia, then raised for the first time since - the passing of the Militia Act in 1757. It was in this year also that he published a letter to Edmund Burke, Esq. controverting the principles in his speech of April 19, 1774. Lord Howe, in 1776, sent an invitation to Mr. Cart wright, to accompany him on service—such an invita tion was certainly most alluring; but he Reserved his principles, and did really fotegoall those splendid advan tages which would evidently have attended his services. In 1777, the Major published his Letter to Me Earl of Abingdon, expostulating uitli his Lordship on certain constitutional points. On the fld of April, 1777, the Major presented to the' King, at his Levee, Proposals for recovering America 'and saving Great Britain. • Early in the Spring of 1778, the Major published Take your Choice, 4-c. and again in July s and edi tion, under the title of The Legislative Nets of the Commonalty vindicated ; or, Take your Choice, 10. • •In 1778, the Militia being then embodied, the Major was with his regiment at Hull, where he drew up stand ing orders and instructions, which were printed of a pocket . size, and distributed to all the commissioned and non-commissioned officers. In 1779, the regiment marched from Hull to Ports mouth, and encamped on South Sea Common, where it witnessed the retreat of the British fleet into port be fore the combined fleets of France and Spain. In the year 1780. Major Cartwright was the original mover of a general meeting in the county of Notting ham, for a redress of grievances, and a petition to Par liament and a Committee of Correspondence were voted. It was in this year also that Major Cartwright effected, with the assistance of Mr. Capel Lofft anii Dr. J .iebb, the formation of the Society for Constitutional In formation, and its first Address was of the Major's corn position.—ln the spring of the year 1780, Major Cart wright published 'I he People's Barrier against undue Influence and Corruption. At the close of this year the Major married Miss Dashwood, the eldest daughter of Samuel Da,hwood, Esq. of Well, in the county of Lin coln. Mrs. Cartwright's mother was sole heiress of James Bateman, Esq. of Well, aforesaid, The summer of the years 1780 and 1781 were spent by the Major in camp at Gosport; and about the end of the latter year he lost his father. Ia 1782, he published, Give us our Rights ; or, a Letter to the pre tent Electors of Middkscs and 11w Mdotpolis and In August of the same year, he took a leading part in promoting a County Meeting in Nottinghamshire, to Petition for a Reform in Parliament. In this year , also, appeared 'the Declaration of Rights, tvithout which no -Engliskt:on can be a free man, nor the English nation a free „people. In 1783, Major Cartwright purchased a farm at Dariton, in Not t_ipshamshire, which, in 1788, he sold, and purchased an estate in Lincolnshire, where be fixed his residence, and cultivated hia faim with great taste and judgment. In 1784, the hlajor vindicated the cause of Parliamentary Re form, in answer to a witty attack of Soame Jennings. In ITN, Major Cartwright tort the friends of Freedom at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, on the 14th of July, to celebrate the Anniversary of the Fall of the Beadle ; and for Which thempethy Major received ho many insults and provocations front the Lord lieutenant, that he was provoked to resign the office of Major of the Nottinghamshire Militia; but the Deputy Lieute trete Hesished unanimously, That the thants of this meeting be given to Jahn Cartwright, Esq. for his services in the Nottingham- Regiment of Militia: At the time of the State Trials In 1794, he commenced The Con viontredth in Dinger, which was published in 1795. IA 1796, Mr. C. publishedids thustituriaual Defeitc of England, Internal and Eternal. _ . In 1799, Mr. C. published a new edition of die Appeal. From that period the ett)trtions et Mr. C. have been incessant towardsobtaining a reform in the House of Commons; and in 1821, be was indicted, together with Sir Charles Wolseley and Mr. %miler, for illegally meeting and proposing Resolutions at Birming ham; and shortly afterwards appeared in the Court of King's Bench, where be was sentenced to pay a fine of lOW. The last. roduition of Mr. Cartwright is a voluminous Treatise on the boustitution of England. In 1822, some friends of kir. C. proposed him to represent Writ- Minster ; hut on account of a misunderstanding between his friends tad those of Sit F. Burdett, he polled but a very tew votes. • The police are much to be praised for having recently put an end to the dreadful night nuisances which infested to t so great a length of time, St: James's Park.

Joseph Harwood was put to the kar, charged witkiselng concerned whit others, composing a very daring gang of robberi, in a most bnital attack on the person of John Shehan, on the 2d Of July last, At a certain open place situate on Hounslow Heath. The circumstances which characterised Ike present outrage, as sworn to by the witnesses called in support of the prosecution, were, that the gang attacked the unfortunate prosecutor, tore everything but his trowsers from his person, and robbed him of a quantity of money, to the amount of £5. Two witnesses swore positively to the person of the prisoner, who was one of the most active of the gang. The prosecutor, in addition tb lOsing his clothes and money, was most seriously injured, and .has nut recovered from a compound fracture inflicted on one of his legs, up to the pre sent time. Three other persons had been taken into custody for the offence, but they could not be identified by the witnesses. The RIICORDIII summed up the evidence to the*Jury, who found the prisoner Guilty—Death. The RECORDER, before the ptisontr was taken from the bar, in timated that he must not entertain the slightest hope of mercy. NEW COURT. JUDGMENT. Charles Stevews, wbo was found guilty of robbing his employers, the Messrs. Richardson, linen drapers in Oxford-street, of an immense quantity of Irl.h linens and other articles, was sentenced to be transported for life ; and /Vim Bowers for receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen, was adjudged to 14 years tranportatioo. BURGLARY. George Diehards, alias James Ritchie, and John Karlin, were capi tally indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mrs. Mary Treacher, an old lady residing with her daughter, in Vale-place, Hammersmith. It appeared on the retreat of the robbers, one effected his escape by jumping out of the staircase window over an adjoining wall, but on the two prisoners coming out of the front door, Richards was instantly secured, and Martin escaped by throwing himself over a bank into a ditch ; his pursuer, however, threw stones at him and knocked off his hat, from which drop p ed a phosphorus box and matches: he was taken about two hours afterwards without a hat, and acknowledged to the one found belonging to him. On search ing the premises, a dark lanthorn, croer-bar, or Jemmy, part of a centre-bit, and o ther implements of house-breaking, were discovered. The case being distinctly made out against them, and their per sons identified, The Jury, after a few minutes consultation, pronounced them both Gadfly—Death. Thorlovs, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thomas Mennen, a gold watch, and three seals, value 201. the property of Emilie St. Ange, on the 16th July. The prisoner was acquitted in consequence of the non-appear ance of the prosecutrix ; and the Court immediately ordered Emilie St. Ange's recognizanees to be entreated. Yesterday, James Askew, was charged with stealing several money bills on the Royal Bank of France, and various articles of female dress and jewellery, the pro perty of Elizabeth Virginia Perrot. The bills amount to 9,500 francs. Elizabeth Virginia Perrot, a French lady-like woman, about twenty-five years old, was the first witness called ; she gave her evidence in very plain English.—l know Mr. Askew, the prisoner; a year will have elapsed next month since I first knew him; I saw him first at Paris; _ _ I became an assistant to him in the millinery line at 2,000 francs a year ; after seven months, he increased it to double that sum ; some time after, I saw a Gen tleman (Mr. Victor Bertrand) who came from Paris to l England by the request of Mr. Askew, on a visit to that person. This was about April. The letters now produced were written by Mr. Askew, the prisoner. Mr. Bertrand deposited some money bills of the Royal Bank of France in my possession. I was sent to Chel tenham in July, to superintend an establishment of Mr. Parkins. The prisoner and I parted then on good terms. I left my property, the bills, and a letter from a No bltman in London, in my chest of drawers. The bills and the letter were wrapped in a piece of white and brown paper. The letter now shewn . to me is the same which I left in the drawer. I know a Mr. Hubert ; I told him of the letter, but not the signature. I left or ' narnents also in the drawer—five rings. I cannot tell the value of them, as they had been given to me as presents; one bore a miniature likeness of the Emperor of Russia, in white; it was very like him; the metal was gold, set in diamonds. Mr. Puums.—What was the colour of the diamonds P—Azure. Mr. Puu.i.tra.—What! blue P—Witness—No, no; azure is not blue. Bleu, in French, is blue; azure is, in English—a —a—you _ . _ . know; k is—ah! (to Mr. Adolphus) you can speak French; you know very well what azure is : it is a transparent. Mr. Putzurs.-oh, transparent !—Yes, that is it. REcoanza.—Enumerate the property you left in the drawers.-1 bad one single diamond ring ; three rings set with rubies, worth about 200 fiancs the top of a comb set with brilliants; a plain ring; a cross set with, brilliant diamonds; a gold buckle for the waist; some silver spoons and forks, worth 30s. thirty-nine pairs of stockings, silk and cotton; twenty-nine chemises; a shawl worth £l5; a lace veil (French) worth £2. 10s. a lace handkerchief, a black silk dress, seven promissory notes of 1,000 francs each, and five for 500 francs each; these notes were those which had been entrusted to my care by M. Bertrand. A disagreement commenced be tween the prisoner and fie about August preceding, from a feeling of jealousy on his part. He sent me a gold watch at Cheltenham, as a present. He arrested me a fortnight after, on the 14th of August, for the sum of £55, which I had in my possession after the settlement of the account. He was then indebted to me in the sum of £7O. The prisoner was present when I was arrested. I paid the debt and the legal expenses, and obtained my liberty. He turned me out of his house on a Saturday night, a short time after the arrest. He signed the papers now shewn to me, one in England, the other in France. Mr. Watts, an attorney, proved that be saw the prisoner exe cute one of the deeds in England. Mademoiselle Perrot's examination continued—" This paper was executed the day before he turned me away." The paper was here read, and purported to be an acknowledg ment by the prisoner of Ma having received from Mademoiselle Perrot all the bonnets and millinery which he bad committed to her charge for sale. Mademoiselle Perrot continued—He owed me 701. salary, after he had executed that 'document ; he never paid it me; I then returned to London, and in the pre sence of a friend demanded the property which I had left locked up in a chest of drawers ; I left an inventory of the articles locked up with the property, in the chest of drawets ; the paper now shewn me is that inventory ; it had been written by Mr, Bertrand, in Paris, before I came to England ; when I applied to the prisoner E'er my property, he said he had no objection to give me my clothes, a few stockings, and a few shifts ; he subse quently said the furniture was not mine, and be would not give it to me; a Mr. Hutchins was with me the first time I applied; Mr. Hubert, my attorney, was present the second time ; the prisoner refused to give me any part of my property ; I saw some of my property about a week after; Mr. Hubert brought them to me; they were a pair of ear rings and a drop ; they had been enu merated in the inventory ; the / ear -rings produced in Court are mine ; they may be worth 51. or 61. I was not present when the drawers were opened ; before Mr. Hubert went to the prisoner to recover mr property, I told him Mir. Hubert) that there was a letter in the drawer .written by a Nobleman to me; I received this fractimi of my property late on Saturday evening, and complained to the M tgistr ate on the following Monday; legal Gentlemen attended at the osce.on both sides ; the Magistrate decided the case in the second sitting. Cross-examined by Mr. Abotrutte.—What is the name of that Nobleman who wrote to you?—l don't wish to mention it in open Court, bnt if you went it, I will tell it to his Lordship. Mr. Anotenus--.1 must have Ms name. Recommit (to the' witness)--Tell the name, Miss Perrott ; it cannot injure a Nobleman, nor any other man, to be known to have written to you. I myself should feel no shame to hear that I had written to you--so tell t : ame. Witness (bursting inc - rs) I don't wish it ;heis a General. Mr. Anot.rnos : What's his name ?—Hls name Is Schweits ; Ni cholas Schweitz ; chew you a letter with N. S. marked at the end; that's his name. Mr. ADOCIPIIIIII7What's his title?—l don't wish—he—be rs a First General of the Emperor of Russia's army. Mr. Aistn.rues: What's his title I say?—(Reluctantly.) He is an Excellence—he is a brother to an Ambassador at Rome. Mr. ADOLPHUS: What! he is an Ambassador himself! is he?— lie was an Ambassador to our country. Mr. Jimmies: Come, let me have his title T—Excellence ; I never heard him called by any other title. After some other uninteresting questions— Mr. Anotenes.—Where did Mr. Hubert live? In the City.— Where, in what part? Near a round doer.—What! a large Kite - way ; an arch? Oh, yes, that is it ; there is a great deal of arch in , yourceuntry !—(A latish.) To a subsequent question, the witness acknowledged that she did not tell Mr. Abraham, the first attorney employed by her, that she had left 9,500 francs, the amount of the bills, in the chest of drawers. She men tioned it first to Mr. Hubert. The examination of the prosecutria lute' from ten until half-put three o'clock. A great mass of correspondence was theta put In and read. letters were respectively those of the prosecutrfz and the prisoner. Victor Bertrand deposed, that be came to England in April, at which time he put into the hands of Millie. Perrot seven bills of 1,000 francs each, and five of 500 francs each. Cross examined.—The letter now handed to him is his hand writing. He does not very well know his worn hand writing.( A laugh).— Has known fdadenwittelle Perrot four years. She has seen him write more than one hundred times. Witness did not know whether or not he said to Miss Hudson, at Cheltenham, " Mr. Askew is a bad man ; I will be revenged of him and bring hint as low as the ground." Witness has always considered Mr. Askew like dirt. Mr. Hubert is attorney to-the prosecutrix. Ise ap plied, by her desire, to Mr. Askew for the goods of which she had furnished him with an inventory. He' had previously requested, verbally, that Mr. Askew would come to s settlement of accounts. Witness de manded 701. for wages due to her, and the bills and other property, which she had represented she had in her drawers at Askew's house. He said that whatever property she had there, was locked up in her drawers. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS, and said, the letter now produced was given to hint by Askew ; dated Palermo. Here a long argument took place between the Counsel, as to whether the letter should be read. The Judge ruled that it could not, but Mr. Adolphus requested the Judge to take a note that he had urged the reading of it. The witness continued—The confidential letter was of a nature to make the person to whom it was ad dressed very unwilling that it should be seen. The anonymous letter was handed to witness it was ad dressed to Mademoiselle Perrot ; it contained this pas sage Monsieur the groom—the child with light eyes requires the assistance of you and your sister.— Rue de Clichr." The RECORDER observed, that as the evidence for the prosecution had been gone through, he wished to call the Jury's attention to a point on which it• was proper they should consult before the case proceeded. There had been a disputed matter of account between the par ties, ar.d if the Jury should be of opinion that the pri soner had detained the property under 'colour of a sup pond right, and that it was not his intention originally to seal it, there was an end of the present case, and it would be unnecessary to proceed further. The prisoner desired the case might go on, but Mr. ADOLPHUS desired him to submit to the direction of the Court. The Jury here turned round to deliberate, but having continued so for some time, the RECORDIa again addressed them. They were not to Consider now whether the prisoner was guilty or not ; they were only to say whether they thought that be withheld the property without the intention of stealing it. They should take into account the jealousy that existed between these parties, and the demands which were made for the property before a felony was thought of. They should recollect their quarrels, and consider if these goods were withheld more from resentment than with a view of convert ing them to his own use, admitting e'en that he was in possession of, them. The earrings were not disposed of by him. There was no attempt to abicend 'when the charge was made on him. The ques tion now for thefts was, whether this was a withholding, however wrongfully, without a theft? it so, the injured party would' still have her remedy by an action of trover. The prosecutris herself treated this as a civil action by sending her attorney to claim the property from him. The Jury again consulted for some time, and at length the Fore man said, they were of opinion that the prisoner detained tip things under a summed right. . ls• RiscoamiThen you will return a verdict aceortlingltentle men. Foreman—We fi nd him Guilty of unlawfully detaining the property. Rumania—That amounts to a verdict of Not Guilty upon this charge; is that what you mean, Gentlemen? Foreman—No; if we must find a verdict of Not Guilty generally, we had rather the case should proceed. The RECORDER said, they must either find him Not Guilty gene rally, or proceed. The Jury, after repeated consultations, at length returned a ver dict generally—Nor Guilty. • Mr. Law, addressing the prisoner, said, Mr. Askew, your case has not been heard to-day. I, however, know what your case is, and I recommend you to prosecute these parties for a conspiracy. I Mr. PHILLIPS—That is an unfair observation, Mr. Law, and per fectly unjustifiable. It Is casting an aspersion upon the character of persons who do not deserve it, and who cannot defend them selves against it. Mr. Law—l repeat what I have said, and it shall be done. Mr. Prawn appealed to the Court to stop these unfair remarks. The Racoons% thought Mr. Law was overstepping the proper bounds of his duty, in throwing out aspersions of this kind. If Mr. Askew had been unjustly prosecuted, he undoubtedly had a right to take steps to vindicate his character; bus it was unfair to pro nounce at once upon the merits of the case. Mr. Law—My Lord, I speak from my instruction; and I say that we should have disproved, by a mass of respectable testimony, almost all that has been stated here to-day. I now apply to your Lordship to impound the documents, in order that they may be forthcoming in aid of the prosecution to be instituted. Mr. Prawn resisted this, and the RECORDER declined acceding to the application. Mr. Law (with warmth)—My Lord, I am instructed by the at torney for Mr. Askew, to make this application, in order that the patties may be indicted for conspiracy and perjury ; and I pledge myself that they shall be prosecuted. Itecoanza—l cannot grant your request. Mr. Law—Then you ought to do it. You stopped the case in the middle, and now you refuse to grant what justice requires to my client. Itecoanea—Sir, I desire you will treat the Court with proper respect—if you do not, the Court will enforce it; and it would be sorry to do so in any disagreeable manner. You must not, how ever, be permitted to forget your duty. dr. Law—l have done my duty to my client, and I will conti nue to do so, in spite of everybody. Ilscoanza.—l have not accused you of not doing your duty to your client; but you certainly have overstepped your duty to the Court, and I think you have lost sight of the respect due to it. I .hall not impound the documents, and that is your answer.—Here the coaversation ended, and the prisoner was discharged. • WEBER'S Opera of Prexiosa, it is said, is sherd) , to be produced at Covent-Garden Theatre, with all its German splen dour; and that another of Waimea Operas, 'Sul Hassan, which contains a moit beautiful rolaccs, with violoncello accompariments, will likevribe shortly be produced at Drury-Lane.

Great in terest was excited by the bill of fare for the day, 'which was very flattering, and the tact of Canteen and Brutandorf being entered to run for the Gascoigne, greatly increased the anxiety of spurting men, as it was CalCulated to afford a certain criterion of the powers of the two horses.
