Vacancy in v our Executive Body, I embrace the tint opportunity to offer Ll vielf as a Candidate for it. While I regret, in common with cher Proprietors, the loss which the Public must sustain by Cte restmation of so able and valuable a Director, allow me tc you, that should your protection and patronage place me is that situation. my time and attention shall be exclusively de voted to the faithful discharge of its important duties; and I hope that the support which I have already experienced, of 860 Votes, upon the last Ballot, and my first appeal to your suf frages, will justify my pretensions upon the present vacancy; without alhaling more particularly to my own personal qualifi c.itions. That support has been a real source of pride and sat's f.:,:tion to me; and, should I, on this occasion, succeed to the honourable distinction of a seat in the management of your ::canes to which I have long aspired; it will be my constant :Irak atisious desire, as well as try duty, to prove that I have not been undeserving of your favour..

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. I..ta:E3 AND GENTLEMEN, JL LOSE no time in announcing my determination to abstain from offering myself as a Candidate to fill the Vacancy occasioned by the Resignation of Sir amp Scorn, Bart. and I proceed to submit to you the grounds of that der et :Inination Front the earliest period of my canvass, I have uniformly tit:l:Jed, that zs I considered my Friend and Relative, Mr. Nat I.lENJamitt Enstoisvoizt, to be peculiarly qualified to fill the si:;:ation of a Director of your Aftirtt, frcm eminent talents and gentral local information, I should be the last person to Ifer any opposition to his success as a Candidate; and as the t.o::fic..'ion of his intention to come fos ward in that capacity on tic preat nt occasion' has been issued, I merely Let with con sist.ticy in submitting to you the resolution which I have above am.ounctd, and. I have the satisfaction to know, that the few Friends wbt m I have been able to consult, in the short time which has elapsed since the Vacancy has been declared, approve cf susperdirg my pretensions, and yielding to the superior soul.ncat:ons of a Candidate, in whose favour public opinion is Etrleray known to prevail. I have only further to express my hope and confidence, that this principle of action will be deemed just and honourable, and fir from impairing, will rather tend to promote my success, on a future Vacancy, by shelving that I am guided less by motives of self-interest, than of public expediency, and by affording a ground of confidence to the general body of Proprietors, that I shall, at all times, be prepared to prefer the public interest to my oven. I remain, Ladles and Gentlemen, With great respect, your very-obedient Servant, Portland-place, Aug. 4,1820. A. WELLAND. PROVIDENT LIFE -OFFICE, REGENT-STREET: - DERSONS insured for Life in this Office share the Profits septennially with the original Members, according to their respective Contributions. Thus, by the specific Sums irsared, and contingent Profits, they have the fullest value foe - their Payments, in a manner nearly similar to that until lately adopted in the Equitable Office but with this presumed Im- Frovernent, viz. that as the original Members have raised a per r,•.nent Fund, deemed amply sufficient for the purpose of indem ray, it is provided, that no personal responsibility shall attach to the Policy-holders. Hence those who seek protection are vetzed from uncertainty and risk of loss as in a Proprietary o:lice, having a large inheritable Capital, and are entitled to a participation in the Profits, as in a Union Society. These Pro- Etc have been realized to a considerable extent ; the first septen tial Dividend was £l3 85. per cent. ; the second (recently made), 41 - 26 12s.—together £4O per cent.

This case, which has 'excited so much public rest, came on this day, before the Cum BARON and a Special Jury. From an early hour, every gallery and bench in the Court House was occupied, Ind a great numbei of Ladies and families of distinction were present, About nine, the CHU+ BARON entered-the Court, accompanied, as usual, by the SHERIFF, and took his place on the bench. The defendants soon afterwards made their appearance, and the venerable Major was accommodated with a seat amongst the Banisters. Amongst those present, were noticed Mr.VVlLLustr, M.P. Mr. FYSCHR PALMER, M.P. both of whom ac companied the defendants into Court, and sat by them. Almost up to the moment when the case for the prosecution was closed, the defendants had not decided upon the precise line of defence which they should adopt. The Special Jury Pannel was then called for, but only four of the Gentlemen were found to be in at'. tendance.—The Officer asked if a Tales was prayed? • Mr. DENMAN said, that one of the defendants (Ed monds) had not yet come into town, and as it was uncertain whether he would join the others in this motion, be would take it as a favour of the Conit.to remain a little time without proceeding on the trial: . Mr. Serjeant Vauona N sa id, h e h a d no reason to throW an obstacle in the way of this accommodation, if the time .requited was not unreasonable. Mr. DENMAN said, he would not ask longer than ten o'clock.—This interval his Lordship granted. The Officer was now going again to call over the names of the absent Special Jurymen, when Mr. Dasugaw rose, and said lie had just received a communication from Mr.. Pearson, the defendants' Attorney, which, as it was his duty, he would men tion to the Court. It appeared to him to contain a very strong objection to an,important part of the Pro ceedings which had already taken place, namely, the mode of summoning the Jury. The Learned Coun sel then stated,. that, under the 3d of Geo. H. cap. 25, sec. 19, by which Special Juries were regulated. it was requiredthat every Juror on the pannel should have received a summons to attend the trial on a day named in the sum m ons , w i t h a reasonable Unite allowed' him before the day on which his presence was required. Now it appeared that Mr. Peech, of Idlecot, whose name stood N 0.12 in the list, had nit received a summons at all to attend on this day;and • though that Gentleman had had summonses isother causes as a Special Juror, not one in the present wits served before one or two o'clock this morning. Then ) indeed, a summons was served upon him, .requiring his attendance de the first day of the Assizes, which was the 29th of July; but as this was never Served until the morning of the 2d of August, of course, ke did not think himself bound to a day which was gon4 by, and consequently was not in attendance at all: To this statement of facts Mr. Denman added the les arguments, that a Jury struck before the parties in the Court above could be the only Jury to try the cause, and that it was not the power of the Sheriff' to amend his return, until an order of Court was db . - tained for bringing the parties again before the Mas ter of the Crown Office. Here was a Jury, not the same which was struck out above, for one was As sent, not from any neglect in his clients, but from attention in the Sheriff to do his duty. He Ives pre pared with an affidavit incorrobonition of the facts which he had mentioned, and lie trusted, that when the statement was made out, his Lordship would see that the pannel was imperfect. Some delay then occurred whilst the affidavit was preparing, which Mr. VVooler took' advantage of ) to call upon -the Court to p rov id e accommodation fQr him amongst the Barristers; and he alleged it was necessary for him as a defendant to be in a ca fe where he could take minute s of w h at 'misc.& • , The Cm EP BARON slid, diat.MUCII as he whiled to extend indulgence to the defendants, and much as be considered the anxiety they should feel, stilThe could not help thinking the present request for displacing - the Counsel a little unreasonable. , • 3fr. Woolei intimated that he might hitallbtted a seat without much incommoding these Gentlemen ; but did not press the matter' farther 4 for the prilent, r.nd sat down again i n the - ,sitnation witil,44.oicu- E o j,ed before, Mr. DENMAN now said, that be hadenativit • • S k to which he alluded. • -`' The affidavit being read by the Clerk stated,- that Mr. Charles Pearson,..the deponent, on coming to Warwick, learned with some surprise that Mr. Peech, a Special Juror in this cause, had never received a summons ,at'all to attend, with a vie w ,. as d e f en d ant believed, of prejudicing the defendants canoe. Mr. `Pearson immediately wrote to Mr. Peech, and went to his house, which was 15 miles from Warwick; and another deponent named Sanwa', delivered the letter: An answer was received from .14 Peech, itliting, that he had received no summons to attend as a Special Juror in this' cause at the present As- Sizes, and that, in consequence, he could nos; _give his attendance. The deponent next applied to, Kr. Lee, the Under Sheriff; at Warwick, Who was unable to ' give him information as to the service Of the Indivi dual summonses, but referred him to the Officer to whom he directed his warrant, and whose duty it - was to make out the summonses.

Mr. TRESLOVE presented a Petition, the object of which was the appointment of a guardian to the na tural daughters (three infants) of the late Mr. Curtois, an eccentric character, well known fo►r his penurious habits, and for a transaction in which he was con cerned with a Mrs. Phipoe, who was afterwards tried at the Old Bailey for attempting to extort money from him. He has left the large sum of £240,000, though he began life as a hair-dresser only, to be di vided amongst his three illegitimate children. LORD SHAFTESBURY V. THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH. :Mr. BLAKE applied •to the Court for liberty tq make a motion in this cause on the behalf of Mr. Wright, on Monday next, under the following circum stances:—An order had been made en Tuesday last, referring it to the Master to inquire Mettler any pro ceedings should be taken by the Trustees of the late Duke's will against the present Duke, and Mr. Wright, or either of them, in respect of a bill of exchange ac cepted by Mr. Wright in favour of the Duke, and indorsed by the Duke to the Trustees, and which had become payable, but of which payment had been refused. This bill had been accepted by Mr. Wright, upon the faith of an authority given to him by the Duke to receive his. Post Office pension; but a few days before the bill became payab!e, his Grace gave a power of Attorney to another person to receive the pension, in direct violation of his engagement with Mr.' Wright. Now the object of the intended mo tion would be to obtain leave for Mr. Wright to at tend the Master upon the reference in question, Mr. Wright being willing immediately to pay the money if, upon the Mas.er's Report, the Court should be of opinion. he ought to do so. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, he did not think it would be of any use to hear the motion ; as Mr. Wright had accepted the bill, and it was passed to third parties, the Court mast hold he was bound to pay it, though the consideration was not received. -Mr. BLAKE said he. had expressed the same opi nion to Mr. Wright, but that• Gentleman wished the matter mentioned to the Court, in order that the ground of-the non-payment of the bill, when it be came due, might be • understood • . • HIGH TREASON. SPECIAL COMMISSION—PAISLEY. • On Tuesday the Court met in the George-street Chuech, Paisley, for:the trial of James Speirs, wea ver; Johnston, and Robert Lang, weaver, Kilbar • than, against whom the Grand Jury had found true bills for High Treason. The Judges were Lord Jus tice Clerk, Baron Shepherd, and Lord Pitmilly. The Counsel for the Crown were the same as at the for mer trials: For the . prisoners, the Counsel were Messrs. Grant and .Sandford. James Speirs was first put to the bar , and the names of 160 Jurymen were called oven... After both the prisoner and Crown bad made a number of challenges, the following Gentlemen were chosen for a Jury : Sir M. Skew Stewart, of Greensick and Blackball, Bart. Furman, Man Ker, of Greenock, Merchant, John M'Na.ght, of Glen Park, near Greenock, Robert - Hunter, of Kirk-street, Greenock, John Coats, of Pabley, Manufacturer, Matthew •Ifoger, of Roping, Alexander Leiper, of Paisley, Merchant, Gavin Browning, of Paisley, Merchant, David Trail, of Paisley, Dyer, John Gibson, of Paisley, Cotten Yarn Merchant, Thomas Wright, of Paisley, Perfumer, James Wilson, of Paisley, Silk Merchant. Afser the Jury were sworn, the indictment was read, and, like others, it consisted of four counts : the overreacts were nineteen.—The SoLICITOR-GENS- Rm. opened the case on the part of the CrOwn, and briefly commented on the Law of Treason. Twenty two witnesses were examined. The prisoner, during the Radical Rebellion; had been chosen, and acted as a MeMber of a Committee who commanded a mob which went and stopped the cotton-works in John ston and neighbourhood, on the Sd of April. A wit ness, of the name of John Frazer, intimated to the. Court, that he had been confined for four months on a charge similar to that of the Prisoner, and wished to be infornied whether he was to be considered f still a princip al , or if he was to be a witness only ?:...... The Counr informed him that it was a rule that those who were imPlicated, ifcalled upon for evidence, were no longer considered peincipals. He then gave his Avidence and 'Was discharged. The evidence closed, on the Pin of the Crown. at half-past twelve o'clock, and the Court adjourned till Wednesday • YATAL • ACCIDZIM--.+Wedliaiday night, between ten and eleven o'clock,lthe following melancholy ac cident happened. near Battersea Bridge, on the Chel sea side of the river, to two mug persons;named Sarah Russell and William "Irby, the former 14, and the latter 27. yeirs nine, whose parents are very re spectable tradesmen, residents in Paradise-row, Chel sea :—ln the early part - of the evening the above pep sons, accompanied by a lad, • took an excursion on ;be water towards Cumberland Gardens, and on their oa ret7 h ll e a vr t dark harfa tha ss ezieav Du o ce ured to e andffect a landin coalt! sets; !Mit Chelsea.
