A foil narrative of the affair was given in the Sean at the dies of the former trial. The evidence having been gone through, *e l Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner's Counsel then submitted, that the iting's /be the felony included the minor offence laid in the present hadieal mem, the whole being one transaction. The Jonas said be did net believe there was my weight in the objection; but be should for other reams, desire to postpone giving judgment until Saturday. The prisoner was subsequently sentenced to two years' imprison- 1 meat and hard iebesr. LANCASTER, Avocet 11. William Williams Perkins, aged 25, was put to the bar, charged with having, on the 10th of June, forged and uttered as true, an order fog the payment of 1751. purporting to be drawn by John Wakefield and Son, of Kendal, upon Messrs. Masterman and Co. of London, with intent to defraud the said Messrs. Masterman... The prisoner was a clerk in the commercial 11 , vse of Dugdale and Co. of Manchester. He was a respectable Booking young man. Daniel Mildred, a partner in the house of Master. man and Co. bankers, London, agents for Wakefield and Co. of Kendal, received on the 23d of June last, a letter mataining a bill and an enclosure; he gave the letter in t .thair corresponding clerk. Mr. Peel, and told him to attend to it. Mr. Peel. discovered the letter and enclo sure to be forgeries. The letter andcbeek were put in and read. " Messrs. Masten:man and Co.

WILLIAMS submitted, that as an unstamped check, drawn twenty miles from London, was inadmis sible as evidence in a civil case under the statute, it is not such an instrument as would render a forgery of it a capital felony. The Learned Gentleman cued the 44 King v. Moffatt," and some other eases. Mr. Sergeant Caws contended, that the point was discussed and sledded regularly, by the twelve Judges, in the case of the "ling *. Hawk wood." Mr. Justice ['AIM overruled the objection. Evidence was then given of the steps taken to detect the forger. A letter was written v.:Birmingham ac :cording to the address given ; but in the mean time the Birmingham Pon-master received a letter, signed Francis Evesham, requesting him to forward the letter to the Post-office, Manchester. This request was corn plied with, and Robert Gardiner, a London Police officer, was stationed at Manchester Post-office to ap: prehend the person who might call for the letter. The clerk of the Post-office gave the letter to a person, who called himself Francis Evesham, who called for it at five or siz minutes before ten at night on the 18th of June. He stood at the window of the office, and the clerk could not see the face of the person who called, but kept him in conversation until he saw Gardiner get -round to the window be,ide the man, as he supposed, who had called fur the letter. Gardiner deposed that, on going round to the win dow, he saw the prisoner pay fora - letter, which he put in his pocket. He told him he must take him into cus tody. The prisoner exclaimed " Good Goal" and asked for what? Witness told him .he could not then explain what for, but that he would soon explain all. After walking a little way, they got into a hackney coach. Witness set on the front of the coach, and the prisoner in the back part. Before they got in, the prisoner at tempted to escape, but witness prevented bim. When .they got in, prisoner put his hand on the window, and witness told him to sit still and keep his hand in. He looked into prisoner's hand, but there was nothing in it. When they got to the police-office, witness asked him fie the letter he had got at the post-office ? He asked 44 what letter? I have received no letter." The prisoner shortly after said, he had gone to the post-office to in quire for a letter, which he expected from his father. Witness went to the prisoner's lodgings in Oxford-road. (Manchester.) Crchs.ezamined.—The prisoner gave his address, which•Livender put down upon paper; they did not know his lodgings until he told them ; the evening on which be apprehended the prisoner he sent the bellman round, offering a reward for the discovery of the letter he supposed had been thrown away 1- he also caused an - -eisenient to be published to the same effect; in --dint he described the pl4ce where he sup posed the letter had been lost, bui it was never pro duced; in the prisoner's pocket he found a half sove reign and Bs. ed. in silver. Witness had been frequently employed by London Banks; he was not usually paid by them by the job, but he drew money when he wanted it. ' By the Cons:—He would not receive more pay it the prisoner were convicted. Mr. Justice az said, be should, indeed. be inept Iscd if London banters paid only upon conviction. The prisoner read a long defence, which was afterwards proved in evidence. Several witnesses were called. who gave the prisoner a good cha racter. and the Jury acquitted him. the Judge being of opinion that the officer had mistaken the prisoner. GLOUCESTER, AUGUST 11. THE KING V. SMITH AND OTHERS. A Sptcial Jury was summoned for this cause, nine only appeared: Mr. TAUNTON prayed a tales, which was agreed to. Mr. Russar.r. opened the indictment, and stated, it was brought against William, Thomas, and Sarah Smith, ch-rging them with contriving to hurt and injure Geo. Smith, their brother, (a lunatic), who was under their care and cuitody ; for having confined the said George Smith in a certain dark hole, or dungeon, in a house, situate at Muckleston Wood, in the county of Stafford, and there cruelly and unnaturally refusing to administer to him food, clothes, or any of the necessaries of life, and then and there keeping him, without proper warmth, air, or exercise, by means of which the said lunatic be came weak and distorted in his body. There were se •erat Other counts in the indictment, to which the general issue was pleaded. Mr. TAtrrirou, in stating the case, said, as the inquiry was one et the most important nature, he was sure the When the osee Mr. Justice Buses:rums said he did not see how any obligation was imposed on the defendants, that was not equally binding upon the other parts of the family,who did not live in the house with the others. After considerable discussion sped this tetot between Messrs Taunton, Campbell, Wakely,Talfoard, and Mr. Justice Boanovon held that there was no legal obligation proved, that it did not appear the brother William had the slightest controul over the lunatic, except that he was master of the house; the only proof was, that, there were several acts of omission, certainly strong proofs of negligence; but omission of a duty, not legal, will not do. Whatever mode may be taken to bring these parties to punishment, the present is cer.l tainly not the shape for it. He regretted extremely the case could not goon, and should be happy to postpone it, if he had any doubt pn the subject; but this being all matter of fact, he could not be justified in telling the Jury to find the defendants guilty. The Jury, under the directions of his Lordship, returned a ver dict isf Not Guilty. The trial continued for nearly nine hours and the result was re ceived with much dissatisfaction by the Pelle. • • 4 1 ' i . t u o di a c docialo te li w a nn e ld ar d is i e va n s i t n a t et- d taken the - shilling, though the prosecutrix ttwei re lt;asfain, and as there might be some Mina's, Irian thitvaiiotis cirennlstaSces lila - had already reason to believe, that just indignation at the prisoner's blers . spadt public WO respect" tss these defendants ; conduct had diverted the attention of the Jury fruit this and vr .

The following are extracts: No. I. Report addressed to his Majesty the Emperor by the High Court of Justice. The Report states that having first examined the labours of the Committee of Inquiry, the Court pro ceeded to consider what punishment was decreed by the laws for the crimes declared in the Report of the Committee of Inquiry, and that the Court found and unanimously agreed, that all, without exception, were liable to capital punishment. The severity of the Penal Code admits no exception in these cases, and the salutary rigour of our legislation can be modified by the cle mency of the Sovereign alone. His Majeity having been plessei to order that the Court should determine what particular circumstances, in the case of each of the accused, tended to aggravate or to extenuate their participation in the common crime, and to clue them accordingly ; the Court in consequence distinguished their species of crimes, ♦ie. I. Conspiracy to commit regkide, voluntary offers to commit, &c. This class is divided into ten subdivisions. 11.

Weisave receiysil the 4enreine Zeiteng of the 7th, and Brussels Papers to the 12th inst. Their contents are uninteresting, with the exception of an article from the former, dated Trieste, July 29, announcing the im portant intelligence of Lord COCHRANZ having at length reached the waters of the Archipelago, accompanied with a considerable force; what this force consists of, l whether in steam Teasels, or in the usual description of ships of war, is not mentioned. Commodore HAMM. Tow, who commands the English squiidron in these seas, is said to have had an interview with his Lordship, and exacted a promise from him, not to commence hostili ties against the Turco Egyptian fleet; this would appear strange, after his Lordship, and his brave men in arms, havinuarrived for the express purpose of chastising the aggressi3as committed by these barbarous invaders of the Mores. The following is an extract : TRIESTE, Jusir 99. 'The packet from Corfu. of the 14th of July, has at length brought us news of the arrival of Lord Cochrane in the Archipelago, with a considerable force. The English Consul has received this news officially; and privateletters from Corfu affirm that the Egyptians in Patras are in great alarm. Meantime, according to a I report in circulation here, Commodore Hamilton is said to have exacted a promise from his Lordship, to commit no hostilities against the Ottoman fleet ; this is, how ever, doubted by other persons, who look for int ' portant results. The Frankfoit Papers of the 6th instant quote, from the Austrian Mum, of the Ist, a notice from Constantinople, dated 10th July, stating that a division of CS ships of the Captain Pacna's feet bad sailed from the Dardanelles on the 4th. His first point of attack, it is supposed, will be Samos. That is/and Is possessed of no force to withstand the Turks, and will, it is said, surrender im mediately, if tolerable conditions be offered. The Austrian squa dron arrived at Smyrna on the 50th June. There are now in the Archipelago four squadrons besides the Austrian, viz. the Englilki the French, the Sardinian, and lastly, the American, under Coal-1 =odors Raises. By the Canada, arrived at Liverpool, New York Papers to the 15th, Boston to the 13th, Philadelphia to the 11th, and Baltimore to the 13th ult. have been received.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Stn---The attention of your readers having already, in a recent number of your Journal, been directed to one of the unhappy effects accruing from the residence of so large a portion of our countrymen abroad, I hav e now to request it again to another of the lamentable evils resulting from the same cause—viz. a ruinous and increasing spirit °fp:tabling a which, if it has not alto gether originated with them, has at least been widely aggravated by their encouragements. That the constant intercourse of the English with Foreigners, and their participations in the amusements prevalent on the Continent, has given a most accelerated impetus to this fearful species of vicious dissipation, of late years, which it did not formerly possess at home, no rea sonable man can for a moment question. Those who know any thing of the places abroad to which British residents are attracted by various inducements, must be well aware that there is not a town on the Continent to which the English most resort, where constant facilities are not presented to them, through the artifices of pro fligate aJventurers,f.ir opening gambling-houses; which, however limited they may be in provincial towns, coin. paled with those in the Metropolis, produce the most ruinous effects. If Paris, as the central focus, has its salon, and its chambres, every secondary and still more subordinate place (especially where there are English purses to be fleeced, and English victims to be duped) has its petits cabinets—and, to complimeat British fed ing, even its "Societies Asiglaises." What must be the enormous gains of the proprietors of the latter may easily be calculated, from a compa rative estimate of them, with the produce of the central establishments, a conspectus of which, given from a source of unquestionable authority, will be read, if not with some profitable interest, with at least fearful foreboding. " The following striking details are furnished by an ex.farmer of the Parisian gaming-houses. Into what a vortex they plunge who stake their property in these establishments, rightly termed' Hells,' will appear from the immense gains, which enable them to meet the following expenditure : The farmers of the public gaming -h o us es , who are ex.. Flan% elusively privileged, pay the city of Parts, annually 6,500,000 The Pots de sin and presents that they take upon them selves, or that are put upon them, amount annually to 1,500,000 The farmers are allowed ont of the profits, for expenses of administration and service . . . 1,800,000 The profits of the farmers, per month, are estimated at 200,000, which give for the year . . . 2,400,030 The City of Paris, besides the above farming rent, takes 3-4ths of the profits, which yield annually • 7,200,000 18,400,000 1 . From this sketch it is evident that the gaming -houses of Paris cost annually, to those who pay them--tbat is, gamesters the enormous sum of above 18,000,000 francs (or 936,0004 sterling), which is a larger amount than is received by all the collectors of direct taxes in the,capital." Now, after reading this statement—after finding that there is not a town of any considerable size (in France at least) where this demoralising system has not its ra mifications and its emissaries to fleece the wretched dupes whom they can inveigle—and where there are not even haunts provided, of a corresponding level, for our very servants themselves,* shall it be asked, it the influence of a continental residence has not become a fearful and tremendous engine of evil to our country? - Your's, truly, PHILO-PATRIS. • The employments and seductions held out abroad to British servants, and their demoralising influence over this class of Britain's sonsovill form the subject of a future number of these Sketches of the" Evils of Residence Abroad." Ti EAST INDIA SHIPPING. The Hu searen it; Worins, from the Cape of Good Hope—ailed the 13th of May. By accounts posted at Lloyd's, we learn that the James Scott, from Singapore to London, had put into Batavia the 4th of April, dismasted, and with other damage.

Both these vessels bad been heavily insured at Lloyd's. A letter from Lisbon, dated the 99th rout. state-that the Gsamow, Hon.

The latter implore assistance, and excite sympathy--tiscle. patience and their sufferings render them objects of great u commiseratioo.— Meetings have been held for their relief, bet it can be only tem porary, as the public benevolence cannot keep pace With the tails on humanity. There is some consolation to And that the interior of the country enjoys tranquillity ; there are no noeteroal liseedbga of Wbiteboys, or factious incendiaries, nor does k appear that there are any political agitators at work to create confusion. By private letters received on Saturday from Bir mingham we learn, that a considerable number of the colliers have returned to work, some at the old and others at the reduced wages. It is expected that the remainder must soon submit. The prompt and judici ous measures adopted by the Magistrates have had the effect of preventing any further outrages. At six o'clock this morning the last remaining con victs under sentence of transportation in Narrate, nineteen la number, were removed by a caravan, under a strong guard, is order to be put on board a transport bound to Van Dientan's Land. A most impudent attempt at robbery was made the other day at the house of a Gentleman named Duos, residing in Portland-place. A gentlemanly-looking person, accompanied by two men carrying a bier, presented a letter to the servant maid, stating that it was her master's desire (who was then at Bedford, and from whence the letter was dated) that two valuable pictures, which had cost Mr. DIXON 1800 guineas, should he delivered to the !teethe!} 'Oct the serirstit hesitating, the " Gentleidan" itoeseted most outragebutli, andithreatened the girl with her mute's displeasure ; but she was not to be duped, and kept the pictures in their old tuners, to the great dittolohturc of the chief undertaker and his JCiiTtair.
