And that is all am not able to read letters or keep accounts. The Noble Earl then ordered that part of the witnebs's for mer examination to be read over to him, in which he stated that he could not recollect how long he had been in Mt. Hyatt', ser vice, at Gloucester. because he had not the book with hint on which he marked these things. Asked what he meant by that book ?—Witness---I said, I had not the book to shirk upon. I did not say the book in which I had marked, but . the book to mark upon. rllere a colloquy took place between the witness and the In terpreters, as to the meaning of this answer.] King's Interpreter.—The witness says bis words were, that `• he had not the book in which he used to mark." Queen's Interpreter (Mr. Cohen).—" The book in which I rs..ke my marks." Lord GREY.—Does he mean to say that he had not the book in which he put this down, or that he kept no book ? Interpreter holding up his bands, and in a tone of amusing a,tonishment—“ Gon bless me !—He's quite off. 1k says now, I had no book of any sort to mark upon !"—((:reat laughing). Mr. Arroatar-GriatitAL.—As there is some obscurity in an zt.swer of the witness, that he came here in a sack, and went Loinc in a trunk, I would wish him to'explain what he means. Flom several of their Lordships.—No, ne--a common Ita -1:;n proverb. The cvi• stion was not put. Lord LAUDERDALE wished' that the witness should be krd what he meant by the memorable words, " NIA nu ri -47(rd0." Their Lordships had been told that the expression bad several meanings, and it was important ao know what.it was the vitnessundentood by it. Lord HOLLAND said that the Noble Lord was striving at an impracticable object. Supposing the-nor sui ricards bad a l variety of meanins, it was impossible the House could know how to apply these different meanings to the numberless in st:inces where that Expression was used:in the evidence of the v. fitness. Lord LAUDERDALE withdrew his question, The witness Majocchi was now taken froth the bar, and the titar.sel were ordered to withdraw. After a pause of some minutes. tie Marquis of. LANSDOWN rose.—Defore Connote! were gulled in again, he wished to draw the attention of their Lord ships to a manor of considerable importance. A letter had been r.entiuned in the course of an incidental discussion, which took ice yesterday, as having been teceivcd from M. Marled, the •uker in Milan, stating that, in consequence of some comfy:uni ts-Z.ln made to M. Maricti by a Colonel Brown, an agent there 'of the English Goverstnent, le (M. Markttl) entertalgrl Op prehensions that his soil, a resident in this country, would besot out of it coder the Allen Aet, far hilt interference in the a&its cf :lie (user, Left speiking. The French Papers of Monday arrived this day. All the letters from Brest agreein stating, that the most perfect tranquillity prevails in that town. The proceedings were going on there against several young men charged with being active in the late dis turbances. Amongst those arrested, it is added, were some persons who were strangers to the town, and who could give no valid reason for being there. An article from Trieste of the 19th ult. mentions a report in circulation there, that the Austrian flag would no longer be admitted into the ports of the two Sicilies. The intelligence from Spain contains an account of the total demolition of the Ecclesiastical conspiracy' of Burgos against the Constitutional Authority. It has been torn up by the very roots. A Curate named BARRIO was the leading instigator. An attempt was made to work upon the superstition of the peasants by displaying banners inscribed with religious hiero glyphics, similar to those which were borne before the Crusaders ; but the Curate BARRIO was not as successful as PETER the Hermit in making the sacred name of Religion the cause of a desolating excitement. He, and men like him, mistake the age in which they live, and look backward while the world is going on. The very peasants, on whose supposed aptitude for becoming the dupes of priestly imposition the hopes of the malcontents were built, assisted in deliver ing them up to justice. The Apostolic Junta, as it absurdly called itself, of Burgo d'Osina, is in safe custody. The papers which have been seized prove that it carried on a correspondence with some priests in Burgos, Valladolid, Corinna, and St. Jaques de Compostella. The banners were furnished by the Monastery of Balbaneda. A Dominican of Burgos, and a Curate of Quintinar de los Pinares, have also been arrested. The Madrid accounts of the 22d ult. say, it ap pears certain that the Marquess de las AMARILLAS IS to be succeeded by General RAMON as VALL, as War Minister. When the nomination of RIEGO, as Captain-General of Gallicia, was known in the pro vince, the Patriotic Society of Corunna, and a great number of other persons, sent an Address to Go vernment requesting that Rzieo 'night continue in command of the army of Andalusia, and ESPINOSA sent to Galicia as Governor. It is confirmed that the Constitution had been proclaimed in the most enthusiastic manner at the end of May, at Vera Cruz, and the other provinces in the vicinity. The Guer rero, ship of the line, and Diana, frigate, had left Cadiz _to cruize in the Mediterranean ; and the brig Aguila for Rio Janeiro on an important mission. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

It was called by a number of Householders, who signified their intentign .to the Mayor, and received from him, though not his assent, an assurance that the Meeting should be in no way disturbed. it was held, therefore, in the open air, at the outskirts of the town. The Resolutions were worded with great zeal in the cause of the QUEEN; arid the Addresses, one of which was from the male and the other from the female inhabitants of the town, were of an extremely affectionate and loyal cast. They were carried with the utmost unanimity on the part of the Meeting, and ordered to be signed by the Chairman, and transmitted to London for presentation, by Alderman Woos) and Major CART. WRIGHT, to her MAJESTY. _ _ C. J. MIDDLETON, Esq. of the Bengal Civil Ser vice, arrived in town late on Friday evening, with dispatches for the Foreign Office, from HENRY Wit- LOCH, Esq. his Majesty's Charge d'Affairs at the Court of Persia, and Sir G.

Mr. BERNARD HOLT, of Clapton, was robbed of his pocket-book containing more than £lOO in notes and cash, on Saturday, in Parliament-street. He was surrounded by a gang of several ruffians, who got his arms up, and the book was cut out of his side pocket, and his watch was stolen also, but he had no power to help himself. Vt'edne,day evening, Mr. BENTLEY, of Brownlow street, Drury-lane, whilst standing with one of his children in front of the QUEEN'S residence in St. James's-square, found himself surrounded by a gang of eight men, who pinioned his arms so that he could not stir, till a villain, with a pair of scissors, cut his small clothes, and took his watch from his fob.

Yesterday his WILTRITT rode on horseback, at. , tended by Sir lIFIAJAsi KEPPEL, for several hours. The Kinn returned to dinner at five o'clock. After dinner Isis MAJESTY gave audiences to the Loaw CHANCELLOR, Earl of LIVERPOOL, Earl BATHURST, and Viscount Mstytt.t.n, who arrived from Loudon. The following is her MAJESTY'S most gm-km Answer to the Address from the Convener, Deacons, and Members of the Seven Incorporated Trades of. St. Andrew, presented by JOSEPH Hums, Esq. M.P. " This loyal and affectionate Address from the Convener, Deacons, and Members of the Seven Incorporated Trades of the ancient City of St. Andrew's, has afforded me the most un feigned satisfaction. I bail the generous spirit which has dictated this expression of congratulation and condolence in the seat of genuine loyalty, useful literature, and rational freedom, as an indication of the attachment which is felt for a persecuted Queen in the liberal bosoms on the North of the Tweed. " Thts free voice and the unbiassed suffrages of the enlight ened native.; of Caledonia, whenever they could be heard, have always been on the side of what is just, equitable, and humane; and I never can forget, that it was the country beyond the Tweed which nurtured such glorious vindicators of the freedom and independence of their country as a Wallace and a Bruce, and which gave birth to a Knox, who rescued his country from the tyranny of the Court of Rome, and spread the light of the Reformation amongst the people. In a country in which the inhabitants are characterised by s iperior o.vledge, and ani mated with the most generous sentiments, such sufferings as I have experienced, and such indignities as I have undergone, would naturally excite the most vivid sympathy and resentment. " Had I been either the highest or the lowest subject of Scotland, its laws would have afforded me, in bcith situations, the sacred shield which has been withdrawn in England. " By the law and the practice in Scotland, a fist of witnesses is given in every criminal case, and also in every civil case tried in its Jury Courts. No action for divorce, or even damages, is allowed to go to proof in Scotland, without a minute specifi cation of times, places, and other circumstances. By the law of England, also, a list of witnesses is given in all cases of High Treason. And although the prosecution against me is alleged to be separated by the nicest shade from High Treason, and of so anomalous a nature as not to be regulated by any precedent, yet none of my requests for list of witnesses, specification of charges, of times and places, have been granted. '• On the principles of English and of Scottish laws, there fore, which I hold to be those of justice, I was entitled to all I asked from the House of Peers; and if it was realty believed that the charges brought against me were true, and that they could be substantiated by credible and untainted evidence, why should the proceedings against me be c.aiductecl in violation of national laws and of justice? " I know enough of Scottish history to recognize the City of St. Andrew's as the early cradle of loyalty, of national inde pendence, with civil and religious liberty ; and I cannot but view the declaration of so many of its valuable and industiiors inhabitants in my favour, as a strong proof that the existing generation inherit the noble minds and virtues of their renowned ancestors. . N Minds cast in nature's mould, as the sons and daughters of Scotia undoubtedly arc, must ever be as favourable to the victims and martyrs of power, as they arc indignant at, and hos tile to, the assassin blow aimed under the semblance, or rather the mockery ofjustice, through me, at the rights and liberties of every British subject." _ _ Her MAJESTY returned the following most gra cious Answer to the Address from Camberwell: “ I am much obliged by this affectionate Address from the inhabitants of the Parish of Camberwell. " The despotic Authorities of the Continent, acting in con cert with my adversaries in this country, would, probably, have detained me a prisoner, if the promptitude of my decision, and the celerity of my movements, had not defeated their machi nations. " Those who prohibited the insertion of my name upcin the coffin of my child, appear to have rejoiced at her premature death, because they thought that it would not only deprive my bosom of its last remaining solace, but weaken the hold which I bad on the affections of the people. " My enemies cannot give even a colour of probability to their charges against me, without having recourse to such testi mony as would not, for a moment, be admitted in any of the inferior Courts. Thus my accusers are daily establishing my innocence by the very Means by which it is attempted to he destroyed. The depravity of the witnesses is alone sufficient to discredit aU the allegations. " I am gratified at perceiving that, in the opinion of the in habitants of Camberwell, as much as in my own, the enemies of the Queen are equally the enemies of the people. In all my arduous trials the sympathies of the people have been my strongest support ; and I rejoice to think that there is a reciprocity in our friendships and our enmities. " It is only the most generous minds that attach themselves to the suffering individual in the exigencies of adversity. When my adversity has been greatest, the people of England have cheered me with the most affectionate testimonies of regard. Their support has been more strenuous in proportion as I have been more oppressed; and they have evinced a more profound respect, and a more enthusiastic affection for a persecuted Queen, than are usually experienced by any Sovereign, who is sur rounded with all the pomp of power, and aU the insignia of Royalty." At the Chester Sessions, Ralph Jackson, aged 41, a labourer, from Minshull, was indicted for an as sault and rape upon the body of Sarah Pollitt, of Stockport, aged 11 years. Ralph Jackson was a lodger with the father and mother of the child.] They had but one bed-room, in which there were two' beds, in one of which the prisoner slept, and in the other Pollitt and his wife. Pollitt was frequently from home for several days together, and then the children slept with their mother; when he was at home, they used to sleep with the prisoner. It came out upon the evidence, that when Pollitt and his wile were both out, Jackson went to bed to the children, and awakened Sarah Pollitt. The child got up, and went into her mother's bed ; upon which Jackson went down stairs and brought up a knife, and threat ened, if the child shrieked, or told any person, he would kill her. Thus terrified, the poor child had to submit to whatever Jackson required, and he made her go back with him to his bed, and com mitted the horrid deed. The child told no one of the circumstance, till her mother perceived the fol lowing Thursday that she was very lame, when she told her, on condition that she would not beat her. She again, by her mother's persuasion, told her of it in the presence of Jackson, who denied it. " Yes, Ralph," said the child, 46 it was you and nobody else."—The prisoner said, in his defence, that he had slept with the child two nights afterwards.—The Jury turned round in their box for a few minutes, to consider the case, and returned a verdict of Guilty. In passing sentence, Mr. Justice WARREN did it with great feeling. The Jury, he said, had returned a verdict of Guilty, and, indeed, be thought they could not return any other. The prisoner had now but a few hours left, and he exhorted him to use the short time allotted to him in prayer to Gon, with whom there was mercy, for there was no forgiveness for him in this world. Sunday night, the wife of Altrich, keeper of the Bear-pit, in Tufton-street, Westminster, went to give water to a bear which happened to be left loose, when the animal lacerated her body so dreadfully, before assistance arrived, that no hopes are entertained of her recovery.

His Majesty's sloop Sappho, at sea, c.ff Down patrick Head, August 13, 1820. Sift—l beg permission to express my satisfaction in having the honour to report, that his Majesty's sloop under my command, this morning captured the Clinton pilot-boat sctvoi)er, No. V, of New York, eighty-one tons burden, Oliver Ilicks master, and eight men, very deeply laden with a cargo, consisting of 557 bales of tobacco, some few crapes and snits, and a small quan tity of teas. 114.ing close in with - Downp trick Head, at six o'clock, A. It. ' the wind S. W. squally, and exceedingly thick hazy weather, the chace commenced and continued with considerable interest (at times going at the rate of ten knots) until eight o'clock, by which time we had chased her round Killala Bay under our are, and completely succeeded in hemming her in between Kinnisharrock Point and PuttcoeLeney Rocks—the latter only distant one or two cables' length, when we were obliged to tack,. at the same time (in stays) lowering the larboard quarter and stern boats, and took pos.ession of the prize.—l have the honour to be. &c. (Signed) I. El. PLUMRIDGE, Commander. N.B.—The Clinton is well found, coppeted, and copper fastened, her late master avers, the " fastest sailing boat out of America ;" and may I add, the most beautiful and perCect tare of what the Americans denominate " a clipper." To Rear-Admiral Sir J. Rowley, Bart. K.C. B. Commander-in-Chlef, &c. &c. His Majesty's sloop Sappho, at Sea, off the Stagg' of Bruadhaven, 14th August, 1820. Srs--Obtaining information by a loose memorandum amongst the papers taken about the person of the late Master of the Clin ton, that a sloop, named the Liberty, sailed on the 11th of July from New Yotk, with a cargo of tobacco, and finding this cor roborated by the oral communication of her inebriated crew, I deemed it expedient not only to avail myself of tht information so obtained, but to turn the superior fast sailing of the Clinton to the greatest advantage tea his Majesty's service; finding she was very much overloaded, I lightened her of nirety bales to bacco, which made a material difference in her t..te of sailing: Thus improved, armed, and furnished with a c.pit.tl creve and code of signals, I decided in my own min 4 lac -; g s of Broadhaven to be the most probaNe place to intercept the sloop in question, and so managed (with the l how . t . ues• .rd), as to be alma eight miles N.W. from those r ,cks b.ar o'clock A.m. of tilts day. Between four and five about Broadhaven, bearing S.S.W. a cutter was de:•cried standing in for the land, to which chace was immectiat.ly given, and the necessary signals, as per log, made to the Ctint. u; for, at the first view, I felt perfectly satisfied, from her very p:xticular appearance and wavering marceuvring, that she was tht T anticipated. At 6. 30. had her within reach of our gun.. warn a few well-directed larboard broadsides added to the Clint,,n's musketry to windward, made her desist from any further at tempt to escape, and I had the gratification of bo-rdivg and making prize of the liberty of New York, 7 tons hurthen, laden with 430 bales of tolrteco, Geosca NATVIG, Nlaiter ; SIIIISTRO/40, Supercargo; five seamen, and five calling them selves passengers; in all twelve persons.—l have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) I. IL PLUMRIDG I, Commander. To Sir J. Rowley, Bart. K.C.B. Rear-Admiral of the Red, Commander-in-Chief, &c. &c. Captains FLINN and HOWNAW, of the Royal Navy' who were itl her Majesty's suite during the period to which the present charges refer, and are now in at tendance as witnesses on her behalf, were on Tuesday summoned to appear before the Admiralty, at - four o'clock in the afternoon. The person who delivered the summonses was most particular in getting re ceipts for the letters containing them. When Cap tains FLINN and HowsrAta called at the Admiralty,- they were most politely requested to be seated.— After having undergone an ocular examination of some minutes, they were informed that the Lords of the Admiralty were asked by the Law Officers of the Crown to ascertain whether or not there was an English seaman on board the polacca, while it was occupied by her MAJESTY? The ATTORNEY-GENE RAL' had heard such was the case, and that•the per son alluded to was at present a pensioner in Green wich Hospital. When Captains FLINN and Hownnst had replied that there was an English seaman on board the polacca, they were permitted to withdraw. Sunday, Lord ERSKINE, the Earl of FORTE:CUE, the Earl of DERBY, the Earl of DARNLEY, the Ear, of ALBEMARLE, and a large party of the Peers, dined with Lord HOLLAND, at Holland House.
