N BOARD OF F.XCISEDxc. 11.. Edward Car, landlord of the City of Carlisle public.house, Rose. rarair-lanc, was charged upon an Excise information, containing eight mounts, for having in ltin possession, and mixing with beer, salt, water, molasses. and vitriol. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and ik as at ter ded by his Counsel, Ms. Platt. Twoßscise officers deposed to examining the defendant's stuck on the 17th of August last. They took samples of his beer from the mild and stala butts on draught, and on applying a chemical test the beer turned giver, which denoted hat vitriol or iron was mixed with it. The 'A ura then took samnks to Messrs. Reid and Co.'s brewery, where It was at once pronounced adulterated. The samples were then taken to Mr. Faraday for chemical analysis, together with a sample of beer from the vat at Messrs. Reid and Co.'s, from whence the defendant was supplied with beer. Mr. Faraday, Director of the Laboratory of the Royal Institution, stated that he had analyzed the samples brought to him. That from the brewers* was good, and only contained a very small quantity of safe. and so little iron as not to be appreciated. In the defendant's beer he found DI ounces of salt and six drachms of iron, to every hun dred gallons. The beer was adulterated; it was lower in specific gravity. After Counsel hail been heard nn both sides, and a long discussion on points of form, the Court adjudged the defendant to pay a mitigated penalty of 1001. OLD BAILEY, Dee. 11. R. ST. JOHN LONG. In the course of the day, Mr. ALLEY stated to the Court, on the pan of Mr. Long. that from certain circumstances, over which that gentleman had no control, it was impossible for him to surrender him self to take his trial that session, but that he decidedly intended to appear before the Court next session, as he was most anxious to meet the charge. Joseph Mother, who was convicted at the July sessions of uttering a forged acceptance to a bill of exchange for 101. and in whose case a point was reserved for the opinion of the Twelve Judges, was placed at the bar, to be informed of the result of their Lordships• deliberation. The facts proved against the prisoner on the trial were these : He paid a bill of exchange to Mr. Collins, a butcher, in Homer -street, purporting to be accepted by a Mr. Francis Taylor, a customer of Collins. Before the bill became due, the prisoner called on Mr. Taylor, and informed hint that he had taken the liberty;of putting his name to a bill of ex change, and asked him to take it up when it became due, promising to give him the amount in a few days afterwards. Taylor refused to corn. ply with his request, and when the bill became due it was disho. noured, and the prisoner soon afterwards was taken iLto custody for the forzery. The jury convicted him of uttering the bill, with :intent to defraud, but acquitted him of the charge of forgery. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, yesterday, informed the prisoner that, after due deliberation, the judges of the land held the conviction to be good. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, SATURDAY, Ditc. 11. John Davis, a jew, aged 18, was indicted for obtaining goods under false pretences. it appeared that the prisoner, on the 4th of Novem ber, succeeded in getting 181 b. of candles and a quantity of pickles from Mrs. Elizabeth Hawkins, of Exeter-street, Strand, under the pre. tence of being sent from Messrs. Kimble and Co. chymists, of Wilma. place, Hyde-park-corner. He elm called on the same day at the shop of Mr. Steward, Sloane-stteet, Chelsea, and obtained some wax cam. dies, representing himself as coming from the above firm. He after wards made out a bill, and presenting the candles and pickles to the barmaid of the Royal Standard public-house, Vauxhall-road, as though they lied been ordered, received Is. for them. The Jury found him Guilty, and Mr. Coast, the Chairman, sentenced him to seven years' transportation. MARGE OF UTTERING SEDITIOUS LANGUAGE., Henry Clarke, a middle-aged man, dressed in a military frock coat, was charged with uttering seditious language. It appeared that, on the 30th ult. the prisoner went to the Green Man public-house, at Hilling don, near Uxbridge, and, after treating the company all round with beer, began " holding forth, and gave them a bit of a sarrnan," in which he said, " Down with the Ministry. Let us have equality. There is a King, but he is not crowned, and I can do without his being crowned as well as other people." He said he was a King's man, and once be longed to the 17th Lancers; upon which a labourer said, if that was the Cabe, he ought not to talk against the Government. The prisoner, how ever, continuing to " hold forth," the company became alarmed, and sent for a constable, who conveyed him before a magistrate, and ulti. stately to the Secretary of State's of The prisoner in defence, said, be entered the house intoxicated, and could not say whether or not be used the words imputed to him." When I was taken up," he continued, " they carried me before the Bench, and they took me to London in a post chaise and four, and brought me before Lord Melbourne and Sir IL Mimic, but they would have nothing to do with it, and so I had a fine jaunt of it back in the chaise to Ux. bridge, where they kept me comfortably enough at a tavern, giving me plenty to eat and drink for three days, and then they gave me another fine jaunt up here, and all for saying a few words when I was drunk."— (Great laughter.) The CHAIRMAN, after some observation to the Jury, said, that as there was something ludicrous in the manner and matter of the charge, they would probably find him not guilty. The Jury, unhesitatingly, acquitted hint. The constable, who bad paid upwards of 101. for the prisoner's fine jaunts, under th eldirection of the Magistrate, applied for his expenses, but the Court had no power under the Act to allow them. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD, Damn's 11. THE LATE COUNTY ELECTION. Joshua Hudson, the ex.pugilist, was indicted for an assault upon O. Clarke, a special constable, appointed to preserve the peace at the chairing of Col. Tyrrell and Mr. Western, as the Members for Essex. It appeared that, on the 23d of August last, the defendant was par. ticularly zealous on behalf of Mr. Wellesley, and testified his contempt for the successful parties by various expressions. This might have passed unnoticed, but he was forcing his way towards the chair in which Colonel Tyrrell was seated, at the same time exclaiming " Pull out that cursed blue !" and appeared to be anxious to commit some violence, although requested to be quiet. This he would not do, and on the constable endeavouring to prevent hint from going to the ;lair, struck him. The Jury having found the prisoner guilty of the assault, a letter from Lord (iwydyr, which spoke highly of his conduct at the cow nation, was put in. The Chairman sentenced him to three months imprisonment in the aunty gaol. THE AVLICULTUILIL RIO ISIS. James Grant, Thomas Grant, John Grant, John Ingram. George Davy, and William Jeffries, were indicted for breaking a threshing machine, the property of Mr. Samuel Wilson, of Walton-le-Soken, on Wednesday last. It appeared, from the evidence of the prosecutor, who is a fanner, that the prisoners, with several persons who were not apprehended, after going round the R avish, threatened those who hindered them, especially if the Preventive Service were called out, whom they would rend limb by limb—from whom theywould have blood for blood. Mr. Wilson met them at his premises, and begged them to go away, but they refused ; and the prisoner Dave rushed on to the premises where the threshing machine was, and called to his comrades, with an oath, to follow him. The threshing machine wat then knocked to pieces. After which the prisoners went away. The Jury found all the prisoners guilty. The trial of John Ewen, labourer, thirty-four years of age, for set. tins fire to a barn and several stacks, the property of Mr. Sach, at Rayleigh, on the sth of November, came on at these Assizes on Fri day, when the Jury, after deliberating about twenty minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. Dlr. Justice TAUNTON itnmediately passed sentence of death upon the prisoner, and told him he must expect no mercy in this world. Robert Cullender, Wm. 51ilis Samuel Sexton, George Porter, John Hart. R. Rowland, Abraham deal, Thomas Ship, and John Nevard, were indicted for feloniously breaking a machine in the parish of Ram. sty, the properly of Samuel Champion. They were also found Guilty, sod sentenced as follows: Porter and Sexton, twelve months' hard la bour"; Neal, six months' ; Mills, Rowland, and Nevard, three months'; Oullerider, Hart, and Ship, seven years' transportation. Edward Barret was Indicted for arson, in having set fire to certain premises in Isis own occupation, at Braintree, with the intent to defraud the Suffolk and General Equitable Insurance Office. This indictment failed, owing to the want of proof of the renewal of the policy. The prisoner was then indicted again for setting fire to the same pre. raises, and thereby injuring the premises of Sarah Harker. After eight hours' trial Barrett was acquitted. The defence went principally to impugn the truth of Hardy's evidence. The Jury stopped the evidence for the prisoner, declaring themselves perfectly satisfied. Tuesday, a riot took place, In consequence of some farmers' labour ers having assembled for the purpose of compelling the farmers 113 that neighbourhood to agree to a rise of wages. A number of them were taken. The trial of some of those captured came on this morningwhen Willem Hardwick, Samuel Lilly, Edward Edwards, Thos. SH W. Bugg, Edw. Fetchall, Jas. Wright, Samuel Revered, Dan. Brown, and Thomas Farrow, were charged with the miedentesnour. The facts ofthe ease are shortly as follows :—On the morning of the 6th of Dee.' a number of men assembled to the amount, in the first instance, of about Woe 40, and proceeded to the. of Dlt. Pad, a former, In the parish of St. Michael, nest ester; *hire they were mot by Mr. Ford's tae, to whose inquiry as to what they wanted, Hardwick replied, " Better times, or worse: while another said, " He should know when it was dark." They then went to Mr. Ford's stables, insisting that the men who attended the horses should accompany them. The men at first refused, but ultimately did go. From this Place, after pressing two men, they appear to have gone to a Mr. John Turner, at Mile-end, in the sigma neighbourhood. To this person Hardwick handed a paper, to the following effect t--" We wish to have Is. a day and beer. up to Lady-day ;it Is all we wish to have. We will have it by fair means or foul." Mr. Turner replied, that where there were largefamilies there was need of more wages ;" but observed further, that "my expenses are so heavy, that I can afford to give you any more." He, however, signed the paper, from fear that any thing serious should occur, as well as because his wife bad been lately confined. They then demanded Mr. Turner's men, and insisted upon their going with them, which the latter accordingly did, notwithstanding Mr. 'Turner's ranee murices. Mr. Wm. Kindel!, another farmer, was next visited, to whom the same paper was presented, and which he also signed, under fear of the consequences if he did not. Mr. H. J. Nunn. a farmer, wise signed the paper, under similar circumstances. The mob took some of his men. After this they were met by a party of horsemen, consisting of magistrates and other persons, under the direction of Sir Henry Smith, Bart. as special constables, in Mile-end; they were now in number from SO to 100; they told Sir Henry very respectfully tiiat all they wanted'was a rise of wages, and upon his promise to con sider the matter with his friends they dispersed. All die witnesses, to whose farms the prisoners went, gave every one an excellent cite:recta for being sober, steady, and hard working men till this affair. A verdict of Guilty was returned against them all. The Learned Judge, alter an impressive address, sentenced Wright and Hardwick to 12 months' imprisonment; Holland to nine months; Bugg, Edwards Fetchall, and Nevered to six months; and the re mainder to three months ; all to be kept to hard labour. TWO MELANCHOLY SHIPWRECKS. Already accounts have been received of some of the disastrous results of the storm of Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday night several yes. sels which were lying at their moorings in the harbour of Cutletowns end, in the west of this county, drifted before the wind ; two of them, with the entire of their crews, were lost—namely, the galliot Jupiter, of Hamburgh, bound from Cardiff to Hamburgh ; and the Economy, of Bristol, from Limerick to Liverpool. It is stated that eight or ten men, belonging to one of the Government cruisers, in attempting to save the lives of those crews, were lost. Several vessels were seen off the coast in the most distressing circumstances, and two of them, whose names it was impossible from the severity of the storm to ascertain, were evi dently running before the wind, without controul or management; so that we may fairly anticipate, that the storms for the past three days have been productive of extensive loss of life and property. Last night we had a very heavy gale at S.E. The vessels in the harbour drine, and the destruction among small boats was very great. Arrived in the harbour, the Wellington, Kellar, muter, from Quebec, spoke on the 2d of November last, the Rosemount, from Dublin to St. John's, lat. 44. 16. long. 86. with loss of rudder—Cork Reporter of Tuesday. DRZADIFIIL STOIII.—SUIPWRZCICe--AbOUt four o'clock on Sunday evening last, it commenced blowing fresh from the N.K. and continued increasing in violence, until it became a perfect hurricane, which abated nothing of its fury until four o'clock on Monday morning.l About that time the hurricane partly ceased, but the storm had not entirely subsided at the time of our paper going to press. As the wind blew directly on the coast, we fear we shall have to locoed numerous disasters, but, as yet, we have heard of only one wreck near Dunmore, of a vessel bound from Lisbon to Liverpool, with wine and fruit. The crew (seven in number) were saved by clinging to the rigging. Several chimnies have been blown down in this city, and old houses stripped of their covering, but, fortunately, we have not to mention that any personal injury has been sustained-- Waterford Chronicle. The Cork Reporter stater that great damage has been done in that city and county by the storm on Sunday night. CORONER'S INQUEST-SA:mum:. Daft,brut. SUICIDL-At five o'clock in the afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. Srfauxo, at the Lion and Lamb, Drummond. crescent, on the body of Mr. William Chambers, aged 41. an engraver, of No. 7, Orafton.street, Soho; who destroyed himself in one of his own houses, 40, Drummond.creseent, Somer's.town. It appeared from the evidence of Elizabeth Mason, a female, 28 years of age, that she had lived with the deceased for some time. She inhabited a house belong. lag to the deceased at No. 40, Drummond-crestxnt. Witness paid no rent, and the house was to let. On Friday week she met the deceased, who spoke to her in such a manner that she was terrified; he helloed and tore her bonnet to pieces. Witness had two children by the de ceased, and he allowed her ltht per week. He pawned his watch to give herps. On Wednesday evening she met him near Compton.street, in company with her sister. He abused her and wanted bet to send her sister away, and go home with him. She refused, and went and slept at her mother's. The following day she went to the house in Drum. mend.aescent, and found the doors locked. She got in, and discovered the deceased in bed quite dead. She ran out of the house and informed her brother of it, who went and told Mts. Chambers. Coroner—Has the deceased a wife and children ? Witness—He has a wife and nine children. Coroner—How could you think of living with a man who had nine children ? Witness (hesitating)--I have known him about seven years, and have two children by him. Coroner—How many children had he when you first knew him P Witness—He had six. I wished to go to a situation, but he would not allow me. He had me so much in his power, and used to say that he would not support my children if I went to service. Dlr. Mark Chambers, of No. 3, Young's.place, Old-street-read, the father of the deceased, stated that his son had amassed considerable pro. perty by his industry, but the witness, Elizabeth Mason, had been his ruin. He had no doubt but that his son was The Coroner remarked. in summing up, that r L IVaII a UMW ale. lancholy case, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary In. sanity." SITICIDa 01 • CLIIIGTX•W.—We have to record the melancholy death, by hie own hind, of the Am Mr. Kennett, of Kensington, bro ther to Lady Sheffield.

Several medical gentlemen were immediately on the spot, but the vital spark had lied. A coroner's inquest was held yes terday before W. STIRLING, DR. when a verdict of " Insanity " was returned. Tss WC-ROYAL FAMILY.--This authenticity of the following anecdotes may be depended on s—On a Sunday evening lately, the Due de Bourdeaux was importuned b his sister to join in some little game she wished to amuse herself w ith; on his repeated refusal, she insisted on knowing his reason forduing so, on which he said, "on dolt respecter les usages; l'oa ne jour pas id les dimanehes."—Since the arrival of the family at Holyrood House, it happened that ow day at table the King asked one of the party whether be could speak sag. lish, on which the Duc de Bourdraux said in a laughable manner, " 0 yes, he speaks the English so well, that the (Scotch people do not understand him."—Scotsman. Marmont is said to be occupied in writing a narrative of the transactions in Paris, in which he so recently played a conspicuous part.

POLICE EXPORTS. Onu.naas.L.A thick-set, reepectable-looking man, dueled in black. who gave his name Samuel Ford, bat admitted It was not his real name, was charged with stealing six silk handkerchief. from the shop of Mr. Bradley, linen draper, Newsate-strest. Francis Edwards, the shepoutn, stated that the primmer, between eight and nine o'clock on Pal evening, having selected the handker. chiefs, said " These will do very well ;" and walked deliberately to the door, without having paid the price named, 12s. Ile followed and se cured him, and brought him before the Magistrate, although Mr. Bead. ley had no desire to prosecute, conceiving that the prisoner did not get his living this way. Sir P. Latin= asked the primer who he was. Prisoner said he had been clerk to a merchant in the country. Sir Pirrita inquired when he quitted his service ?—Eight or ten weeks ago, replied the Sir Passes—Namere a l e :Chant. Prisoner—l cannot enter into more particulars. (Here the tears gushed from his eyes, and, leaning his head on the bar, he hid his face with his handkerchief.) But you must tell, said the Alderman. Prisoner—Then_you must pit t me on the rack. Sir PIETEZ—What object had you in going into this shop ? Prisoner—l cannot answer that question. Then you must answer for your conduct elsewhere,. said the Alegi.. tray. You must not expect to plunder, and escape without giving an account of yourself. In reply to some further questions, he stated that he had been living on a few pounds he had saved, and by selling his property. He MIS unmarried, but had relations in the country, where, he would not say, for they were suffering from the pressure of the times, and could not ef fectually assist him. They would be distracted if they knew his situa don, but they would not learn it. Sir Pzurn—Would it not be better to let thein know your si. tuition ? Prisoner—No, they must never know it, replied the prisoner, in a tone of anguish. Sir PETEa—Wu It your object to be sent out of the country? Prisoner—Yes. . Sir Perna—lt is lamentable that offences are committed almost daily with the same view. There never was more real distress than now; but, prisoner, you very well know how to get relief another way. I have no doubt you have been • respectable man, but sitting where I do, I cannot make distinctions on that account. I wish to treat you with all the kindness in my power, and I will remand you for tinge days, that you may reflect and write to your friends. You may consult with the O' overnor of the Compter in confidence, and disclose to him the addresses of your friends. The rigout, who seemed deeply affected, was then removed from the bar. He bad not a provincial accent. Uxiox.llazt...—A man named Thompson was charged with com mitting a brutal assault on his wife. The parties had been only mar ried two months, and during that period the defendant had beaten his wife on several occasions. On Friday night he jumped out of bed, and then dragged her out by the hair of her bead, and struck her between the eyes. She resisted his !natal violence, and he seised ber with his teeth on the fleshy part of her right arm, and bit a piece out. The poor woman declared that she was in constant danger of be: life, and although so recently married, she was anxious to leave him altogether. The defendant said that his wife was a " d—.l incarnate in temper, and that it was Impossible for even an angel to live with her. He was most willing to comply with her wish as to a separation for ever, and be would engage never to molest her or seek a reconciliation. The Magistrates said that his conduct towards the woman whom be had taken " for better or for worse" was scandalous in the extreme, and that he should not escape the punishment it so rich! deserved. Hs should therefore find bail to answer the charge at the Towx.sans..—Joks Hopkins, driver of a Camberwell stage coach, was summoned for driving his horses on the pavement in Joiner's.street. He was fined 10s. and costs. POLICZ. Gough and JIMICS Eases were charged with breaking into the Gate House, at St. 's Gate, Cannon-street Read, and stealing from the person of Charles toll-collector, a silver watch and silk handkerchief, and several other articles. They were committed for trial. .111aataononow-awassw...—Two MOD WITS I= in by a police man for standing in Pall-mall with a board and a of publications, encircled with a tricoloured border. Dir. Dyes inquired if they were creating a crowd lo and being an. swered in the negative, the worthy magistrate said, " Then why do you bring them hers any more than other individuals? let them be dia. missed." This was accordingly dope, and the man marched of with all their stock. Mmtx-xx-aoxxii.—Mr. Charles Haley, a watchmaker, residing in Wignsore.street. charged one of his workmen with Wegally pawning a gold watch for 91. which was lately purchased from Lady Sheffield for 25 guineas, it being an antique one. The defendant had been entrusted with it to show to Sir Gregory Wall, and did not return it. Mr. RAWLINIION said it was a melancholy thing to see so elderly' and respectable looking an individual brought before him, under such cir cumstances. The woethy Magistrate then fined him 40s. and 101. for the property pawned, or to be Imprisoned wee months. He was locked up in t. A gentleman, who stated that he was one of the guardians of the poor in the parish of Marylebone, accompanied by an overseer, waited upon Mr. Hewitson to demand an explanation of some words said to have been spoken by that Magistrate in allusion to the conduct of the parish oaken to a poor woman, who recently died in the parish through want of the necessaries of life. The particulars of this deplorable ease have appeared in the report of the Coroner's inquest, which was held on the body on Saturday week. The words said to be used by Mr. Rawlinson were, that, if he was Coroner on the occasion, be would commit two or three of the pariah officers to Newgate. The gentleman stated that the subject underwent a strict invest*a. don before the Hoard, when the parish officers were examined, and it was satisfactorily proved that no blame could be attached to them. Mr. RawLiwsow directed the gentleman to look at what took place on the inquest, as well as the verdict of a Jury. On an investigation before a Coroner, other witnesses are exaaolned as well as the parish ofricers. He would aster into no esplanades respecting what lass. he thought fit to use; be mat there as a Magistrate to administer to the bat of his judgment, and did not hold himself respon sible to the parish-board of Mary.la.hense, or any other parish. When an unfortunate creature perishes through want of the common necessaries of life, and the Coroner's Jury lad a verdict to that effect, if he ( Mr. Rawlinson) sat as Coroner, be would feel it his duty to direct the Jury to consider how far the parish officers (if conscious of the state of want in which the deceased was,) were accesaaries to so deplorable an event as the death of a fellow-creature from sus radon. The Overbear observed that she could not starve, having 6s. per week allowed her. Mr. RAWLINION.—Look to the verdict of the Jury. The Magistrate firmly refusing to enter luto any explanation with the Board, the pestles retired. THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOR EXECUTION, AT EXECUTION DOCK. The two convicts, George James Davis ahem Huntley, and William Watts aline Charles Williams, who at. ordered to be executed on Thursday next, at Execution Dock, near Wapping, were cast at the late Admiralty Sessions. The details of their crime must be fresh in the recollection of our modem. From the time of their conviction to the moment the fatal order arrived, they entertained a confident hope that their lives tumid be spared, but they have now become resigned to their fate, and ere prepared to die. The two unfortunate men will be removed from Newsom on Thursday morning next, at nine o'clock, in a cart, to Faecution Dock, Wapping. The sheriffs will precede them in their carriages, and the prisoners will be escorted to the place of exe cution by the whole of the city Akers and manhalmen, the headbo. toughs of the Mikan parishes through which they will peas, and a strong body of police. After leaving Newgete, the cavalcade will pro. coed, at a slow rate, through Cheaper de, Cornhill, Leadenhall.aireci, Aldgate, Whitechapel Iligh.street, Commercial-road, Cannon.street. road, across Ratelift.hlghway, and down Old Gravel.lane, to the fatal spot. The gallows will be erected in the usual place, on the causeway, about twen hithe ty Cyards hurch front the shore, on the Middles e x s id e , opposite Rother.

Last evening, between seven and eigh o ' clock, an alarming fire broke out in the extensive premises of Messrs. Ruth and Bertram (formerly in the possession of Mr. )I'Adam,) the oil and colour works, Will ow . wharf, Bankaide, which, owing to the inflammable nature of the store,, raged with such overwhelming fury, that the wharfs and war e h ouser . right and left, were considered in imminent danger. From the extreme] ; narrow situation of the place, much difficulty presented itself i n get. ring the engines to bear upon the flames ; however, bythe good tut of t h e firemen, this obstacle was removed. It being unfortunately low wat er, the Sun floating engine could not be brought close enough to play upon the lama; so that the firemen of necessity abandoned the premise, to their fate, and directed their attention more particularly to the m in i . ," of Messrs.

A Hen, tolerably tame, it may be presumed, as one near it is Wilder. A Swell:pale and Wills under Price.
