Four hostlers of the Pack Horse Inn, in Hudders field, were lately fined five shillings each, for changing the coach-horses during the service time on Sunday. Last week, a young man who had been drinking excessively, coming out of the door of the White Hart, Faversham, dropped down, and instantly expired.

The Marchioness of iluckingham, from her seat, Avingt o Hants. The Countess of Asliburnkam, from her seat, Ashburnham plate, Sussex. blr. and Mrs. Haile, and the Hon. Mrs. Leeson, at the Cla tendon Hotel, Bond -street, from Worthing. At Brunet's Hotel, Leicester-square : Baron Veley, from Russia; General Benxien and Colonel Vansholton, from Paris. The following is an account of the two New Zea landers, who attracted so much attention in the House if Lords s—They came here to be introduced to his Majesty the KING. WHY RATO, son-in-law o the principal chief, RANO* HEEHOO, and brother-in law of DuA TERRA, aged 26. A great part of his tribe live at the river of Jokee Hangoo, on the west ern side of New Zealand. SHUNGEE, aged 48, a principal chief from the northern part of New Zea land, uncle to JACKET MITT, who was presented in 1806 to their late MAJESTIZo by his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, by whom they were presented with swords, fire arms, and implements of husbandry, and also with some scarlet cloth, which were the first presents received from England in New Zealand,. They were attended by the Rev. THOMAS KENDALL, Missionary from the United Church of England and Ireland, and senior Magistrate of the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Advices from Naples, of the 29th of September, give us room to suppose that Palermo had surren dered on the 25th to the Neapolitan troops, after a sanguinary battle. On the 20th the latter had taken the fort of Solanto, within twelve miles of Palermo; and on the same day the whole fleet of Sicilian gun boats was taken or destroyed by those of Naples, at which city all was going on with perfect order and tranquillity, nor was any fear entertained that Aus . tria would execute her rumoured projects of inva sion. The Neapolitan Parliament was to be opened on the Ist instant by the KING in person, when all the Members of the Royal Family were to attend, and swear allegiance to the new Constitution. A letter, addressed by an Englishman residing at Lisbon to the Editor of the Oporto Journal, says " It is notorious that some persons are very eager, during the present crisis, to persuade the nation that the English are enemies to the liberty of Portugal, and will endeavour to oppose it. I know that those sentiments do net originate in the heart of a true Por tuguese, and that they proceed from persons envious of the good character which the English have always "Alloyed, and who seek to forward their own interests. The Portuguese will not easily renounce a friendship so intimate—which has been preserved for so many ages. These interested persons pretend that the King, of Great Britain will send troops hither to restore the despotic Government." He proceeds to shew the absurdity of this supposition, and refers to the de claration of Lords Liverpool and Castlereagh on the subject of Spain. In conclusion he says, " The English nation unanimously desires that the Portu guese may recover and maintain their libertyt such at least is the wish of all the English with whom I have conversed." The Sierra Leone Gazette contains the following article, under the date of July 15 :—" One of the vessels so long expected, the Sarah, of London, last from Bathurst, arrived on Thursday. We understand the Mary had sailed for this some days before ; we may, therefore, expect her and the Ann daily : we shall then be abundantly supplied with merchandise to carry on our bartering trade with the natives around. We notice with satisfaction the'arrival of a schooner from Barbadoes, last from Demerara, for Africa, in exchange of West India produce. We feel convinced that such an intercourse must prove highly beneficial to all parties concerned, and hail it as the dawn of a new branch of commerce. We hear with pleasure, that great exertions are making by our hardy Mouataineers to obtain the agricultural prizes ; thousands of acres of ground ate now cleared. We boldly foresee that a very few years "only will elapse when the entire Peninsula will be divided into small allotments, cultivated by free men— our ports inhabited by upright and independent mer chants—our colony the cradle of Christianity—a land of loyalty and freedom, which will stand like a rock, equally unmoved by the vile clamours of disappointed avarice, the slow machinations of slave-dealers and their abettors, and the base insinuations of those whose pusillanimous souls, unable to soar above diffi ficulties, have attempted, and do now attempt, to con ceal their cowardly fears by circulating calumny." MAGISTERIAL APPOINTMENTS.—A. S.LAING, Esq. Barrister, is appcinted as Magistrate at the Hatton . garden Police-Office, in the room of Mr. RAYNSFORD who is appointed as residentiary Magistrate at the Queen-square Office, in the room of the late Mr. Firxml4G. Austrian Paperi sirrived this tiiiinsiing o one day later than those we receiied last Week; NEW YORK, SEPTEMBER , is. Among the subjeCts which will claim the serious attention of Congress at the next Session, the pro• posed Tariff will be One c►f the most interesting. Extract of a letter from St. Thonias's, dated the 28th August a " There is a brig just arrived from Margaretta, which was at a port called Campano, on the Main, in possession of the Royal troops, who revolted against their Officers, and after killing them, boarded the brig to the number of 150 men, and forced the crew to carry them to Margarettai where they have joined the Patriots." Accounts received this morning by the Leeward Island Mail, state s that after BOLIVAR had refused the offers from Spain, he immediately invested St. Martha and Carthagena, and there was no doubt, but they would soon fall into the possesion of the Patriots. The letter further adds- 4 . Now is the time for England t' exert herself, otherwise, all the Commerce of the Spanish; Main will fall into the hands of the Americans." Thursday's Parts Papers arrived yesterday. The Moniteur states, that Don Caesar, Prince of Creolani, Count de Puppi, the Marquisses Hercules, Andre, and Charles Antaldi, with equipages, couriers, and domestics, slept at Troyes on the night of the 14th, on their way from Bologna to London. The An taldis come from Pesaro, and Count de Poppi from Trieste. It was presumed they were coming as wit nesses in the Queen's defence. A courier of the Queen is stated to have arrived at Strasburgh, in search of a woman who had been her Majesty's chambermaid in that place. She, however, had died some months before. The disappointed Messenger went to a small-village on the other side the Rhine, in quest of her friends, to try if he could discover any grounds for a prevalent report, that offers bad been made to the deceased of large sums, if she would give evidence against the Queen of England, which she rejected. An important declaration is expected shortly to issue from the Russian Cabinet. Prince Ruffo, the recalled Neapolitan Ambassador, continues to exer cise diplomatic functions at Vienna, notwithstanding the order of his Sovereign, and will, it is said, attend and memorialize the Congress of Troppau respecting the affairs of Naples. The Austrian paper money had fallen very much. The last parer of Roths child, very much sought in the beginning, rose to 130 fl. but fell to 112. The discount of the bast bills rose in proportion. Public credit was, however, re covering itself. There remains no doubt of the sur render of Palermo. The recognition of the new Go vernment of Naples by Holland, is an important point gained by the former. Holland is confiden, dally connected with this country by ties of ancient policy and mutual interest, and with Russia, by the marriage of the Prince Royal to a Russian Princes.. It may be presumed, the King of the Netherlands did not take this important step without consulting with both. The total defeat of Ali Pacha near Janina, and his taking refuge in the citadel, are again mentioned in different accounts in these Jburnals, but there is no confirmation of the statement of his having blown himself up with the remnant of his force. An article from Madrid, of the Bth instant, in the Conititutionitel, has theSollowing paragraph ;—" A letter from La Guayra, of the 6th August, announces that hostilities were resumed on the 4th; and states, in the most positive manner, that the inhabitants of those territories do not wish for peace—emancipation or war is their device. It is for the mother country now to consider which is the most suitable policy." A Vienna article states, that another important declaration was expected to emanate from the Rus- sian Cabinet. The Duke k Reichstadt (son of Bonaparte) was about to have a Palace for his resi dence in one of the suburbs of Vienna. French Five per Cents.—Wednesday, 75fr. Spanish Papers arrived yesterday to the 9th inst. The following are extracts: MADRID, OCTOBER 9. We have received the following from Mahon, dated the 19th of September : 44 We have here the Dutch squadron, which is to pass the winter in this port, with that of the United States of America. The Spanish squadron sailed from Mahon on the 16th, to cruize from Barcelona to Carthagena, and then to put into Alicant to re ceive orders. Yesterday a Dutch frigate arrived here, coming from Algiers, and brought information that the Algerine squadron was ready to put to sea, but it was not known when it would sail. It added, the visit of the Spanish squadron to that bay had pro duced a very good effect, as it undeceived the Alge ,rines, and shewed them that we are not so destitute of strength as they believed. It brought also infor mation that a conspiracy against the Dey had been discovered at Algiers, and that the conspirators had been seized. The Dutch Admiral is of opinion, that the visits to Algiers ought to be frequently repeated." YELLOW FEVlR.—Cadiz, from seven A. N. 24th of September, to the same hour on the 27th.—Number of sick on he 23d, 111; since recovered 38, died 15, new cases 93, remaining sick on the 27th, 151. Xeres de la Frontera, from the 20th to the 23d in elusive.—Remained sick on the 19th, 135, since re covered 53, died 24, new cases 159, remaining sick on the 41d, 210. From this statement, it appears that the disorder is not so destructive as it was at former periods, since for about 40 cases on an average per day there were only six deaths. Her MAJESTY returned the following gracious Answer to the Address from the Female Inhabitants of St. lye's : " The Female Inhabitants of St. Iwo's, is the County of Hun ' tingdon, will accept my unfeigned thanks for this loyal and af fectionate Address. lam happy in this initiusce, and it is my hope, as it wiU be my solace in every occurrence of my life to have my actions applauded, and my principke approved. The favour of Paormancis has been clearly manifested in the striking vicissitudes of my eventful history. Those vicissitudes, when viewed in conjunction with all their associated circumstances, with their preparatory incidents, and their subsequent results, will be found, in a very impressive nunner b ..to eiensptify the mina government of the Dram" . • PARUAMJ2iT2' OF NAPLES: . . • The solemn opening Of dd. Pgiliamettt tooit . place on the 2d of October.. On that chit', at . ten o'clock in the meriting, the King entered the Hall .of the Deputies, followed by the Minikers, the Constnandei in Chief, and the Presidents of.the Ctittiti. His Ma jesty having taken his seat on the - thrtfite, the Presi dent and the Senior Secretary apprilached him, the former holding in his hand the Book of the Holy ' Evangelists, and the latter the Formula of the Oath. The King rose, and with a distinct voice swore fide lity to the Constitution. This grand national act was followed by peals of acclaingtibn, on the sub siding of which the President, S. Galdi, addressed his Majesty in an eloquent speech, containing sentiments and reflections worthy of the occasion. He dwelt with forcible observations upon the wretched state to which ambition and misgovernment had reduced nations, before the experience of the real principles of social confederacy had been well understood. He described the evil consequences which resulted from the doctrines ofthose who would attempt to remedy 'the existing evils under which declining empires la- Factored, by the wild theories of the perfectibility of human nature, as well as the mischiefs that sprung from the opposite prejudices of others who attributed all the evils of society to philosophy, and, making war upon learned men and knowledge, hastened to throw themselves for protection upon barbatism ; thus, he observed, flourishing States sunk into ruin under the hands of the powerful and ambitions, i while there remained yet the grand problem to be solved of moderating the pride of nations in their grandeur and prosperity, and of restoring those whose spirit had been broken by injustice and op pression; but the hand of PROVIDENCE, he continued. could alone point out to people in their dangerous career, the polar stir which was to guide them in this ocean of calamities ; and this star of safety was a wise Constitution, the offspring of knowledge and experience. He then proceeded to describe the events which had led to the establishment of the Con stitution, the ambition which humbled the pride and resources of Spain, till its commerce was ruined, its colonies revolted, its vessels burnt, its army destroyed, and its King a prisoner when, all of a sudden, the voice of honour and religion called the Spaniard s to arms, and, recovering their independence and their Cortes, framed a Constitution which served Naples for a model. " You," said the President to the King, " have sworn to this Constitution with tears of joy and love. The People have witnessed your emotion. The Heir Apparent has taken the same oath, and the descendant of the inheritors et the religion of St. Louis, and of the civil virtues of Charles the Third, shall not have sworn in vain r After eulogizing the King and his family „the President went on to state, that the army would recover its ancient virtue, and the nation and the monarchy would no longer com promise their glory in political transactions with fo reigners. Science and the Arts would again flourish on a soil consecrated by their former achievements, and great men and monuments of grandeur would renew the glories of the classic ages. The King, in person, replied to the President briefly, to signify his assent to the principles and the wishes which the Chamber expressed through its or gan. The acclamations redoubled, and the formal speech of his Majesty was read by his Royal High ness the Duke of Calabria. The Speech contained sentiments similar to those which the President had expressed. He gave the full concurrence of the Royal will to all that bad been dune towards the salvation- of the country, and entrusted to the hands of the Deputies the perform ance of what remained yet to be done, in the inter nal institutions, in commerce, the ecclesiastical affairs ; and all the civil regulations, for the prosperity and consolidation of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. After this discourse, his Royal Highness the Vicar- General addressed a few words of thanks and con gratulation to his father and Sovereign. At this moment the most moving spectacle of general joy Wok place—the spectators expressed, in the most touching eloquence, their gratitude to the King, and their love for the Constitution. The enthusiasm of the people was not to be described. When the emo tion had somewhat ceased, the President replied to the King. The Hall then resounded with cries of rive le Roi, afterwards the General in Chief Pepe ap proached the Throne, and in a short but emphatic speech, laid at the feet of his Sovereign the command of that army with which he had achieved the de liverance of his country. His Majesty replied, and expressed his acknow ledgments for the gallant and patriotic services of the General. This scene, so morally splendid, con cluded amid universal rejoicings. The King tra versed the streets on his return while flowers were showered on his Maje,ty and the Royal Party from the hands of the citizens of all ranks, who crowded the passages to the Palace gates, and surrounded their Sovereign with the truest of all protections, the af fectionate homage of his people. The chief subject of discussion on the Sittings of the sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth, were the law on.the Li berty of the Press, the direct contributions, a project of law for the improvement of prisons and better treatment of prisoners, and the proposerfloan of 900 millions to cover the deficit in she revenue. The articles of law on the Liberty of the Press, on these Sittings, were from ST to 76, which were all ap proved, with some slight alterations. The debates on the direct contribution were very animated, many Deputies declaring that it was justly called odious and monstrous in its present state, there being no data even approximating to the - truth upon which - to make a just distribution-of it. Tuesday morning, as Mr. Knowles, sen. of Sitting bourn, plumber and glazier, was ascending the portal of the Rose Inn, at that place, he fell of the ladder when near the tbp, and catching at a tub containini some evergreens► placed on the portal, drew it down upon himself, from which he was so much bruised that he died in a few hours. Sunday sennight, as the sloop Heart of Oak, of Ipswich, was coming through the Half-way reach, near Gravesend, on her passage from London, a young man, named Edward Taylor, was called upon deck to assist in managing the vessel, he unfoitunately got entangled by the foresail, and was thtown oveK board, uuporceited by any of the crevr, and drowned. i• •.,•4a,.•. CONSPIRACY: . .. , , .... " The strtig or the conspirnioii iiiittlin ht io car successful; A . the v* arions acts of subornation of ZAiiota. and Saccit will not gplieaf on thE Minutes of EvidenCe; but whit is the cOnclUsion which every mak of commoh tense must cliaW from the manner in which this evidence has been got rid of. ? No one can suppose for a::moment that &tem, ZANGLA, Riisirsszr o Itioansi, and Co. entered on the task of subornation without iustructions. /So one can sup pose that they were. oft.,, supplied with the money they offered by son), .Withe instruments employed by the nominal or reatiiirty in these proceedings. Every one knows the nature of their agency. They were employed to pdrthase, in the different Italian and Swiss markets, the quantity of evidence for which itsve . was then a demand at Milan. In all nefarious pfe- ceedings of this kind, the assistance of sub -agents is, We should suppose, almost indispensably necessary. Colonel BROWN OF VILSIACARTI could not conduct an extensive concern like this, without the aid of a number of understrappers. As well might it be sup posed, that a merchant could conduct an extensive business without the aid of clerks and porters, vis that these Gentlemen could, besides attending to the gene ral direction of affairs at Milan, run about the diffe rent villages of Lombardy, frequent tobacco-shops, wine -houses, and conduct the numberless negocia tions which were necessary. Men possessed of the necessary local knowledge, intimately acquainted with the habits and pursuits of the individuals to whom they addressed themselves, and moving in the same, or nearly the same rank of life, were requi site; and such men were found in Swan, ZANOLA, and Co. But you cannot prove that these men were agents of the Milan Commission, in the correct ac ceptation of the word ! You cannot shew that they had instructions from the Milan Commission to suborn these witnesses. Ti ue ; but neither can we shew that the Hanoverian Minister was employed by the Milan Commission or the State, the Prosecu tor, to pay the money to BARBARA KRESS, and to compel her to come to this country ; and yet it came out accidentally, that this sort of agency was exer cised by the Hanoverian Minister. Connect all the agents employed in this business! A modest demand truly, considering the manner in which the Secret Service Money of England has been employed. But what are we to infer, when the operative agents (to borrow a word from our Northern neighbcurs), the men'by whom the subornation could alone be prac tised, ate withdrawn from all inquiry, because a re gular Commission to them from Messrs. PowELL, BROWN, and Co. cannot be produced? How can tech nical objections in such a case be reconciled with sub stantial justice? " But the rules of evidence must be rigidly adhered to! Let us try our ingenuity against an unprotected female—let us exert ourselves in squandering away the immense funds at our disposal, in suborning evi dence against her, taking especial care ,to allow no one to appear in the dirty part of the work, whom she shall be able to connect with us—let us then stand out for the strict rules of evidence. We shall deprive her of all means of knowing what witnesses are to be adduced against her, till they appear at the Bar of the House, so that she shall be unable, by any cross questioning, to lay the foundation for future evidence as to subornation; and thus, if some antoward acci dents do not frustrate our designs, she lies prostrate at our feet, and nothing can save her from destruc tion. 0 magnanimous prosecutor! The Kato we know has no personal wishes on the subject. The State Is the prosecutor. the onty prosecutor. The State, however, has wishes. The State—Government, to which we arc all entitled to look for proteCtion, ap pears in a new character, plotting the destruction of its own subjects, and claiming that the deans of de struction it employs shall be shrouded in secrecy.— The interest of the prosecutor (precious interest!) must not be sacrificed by any disclosure which the strict rules of evidence do not warrant ! " Well might Mr. BROUGHAM abandon this part of his defence in disgust. But those who have forced hitn to do so have admitted, in the fullest extent, the base and infamous nature of the conspiracy."—(Morn lag Chronic:kJ. The intended procession of the Glass-blowers, on Wednesday nest, in going up with the Address to her MAJZSTII at Brandenburgh House, will be one of the most splendid sights eeer witnessed in the metropolis, if the day proves favourable. The dif ffirent Societies of that trade will meet in New-street square,, at ten o'clock in the morning, each member wearing white favours, and medals of her MAJUTY suspended by a white ribbon from round their necks ; 'some with glass hats, and all with long staves bear ing some beautiful variegated coloured glass orna ment on the top, appropmate to the occasion., The Committee will proceed in open landaus, drawn by four horses, the post boys in silk jackets, and. all wearing white favours; two-trumpeters in rich uni forms on horseback : A large caravan, with a band of music, on the front of which will be placed stand ing, two glass figures, - large as life L-one representing her MAJIGStY and the other her, ' daughter the late much-lamented Princess CHAULOTTE, eechcoloured so as to represent the drapery, &c. and from a wooden frame will be suspended a lafge banner, the figures and motto on which will be of coloured glass; the mottoes and figures on each flag will be also of cut and stained glass. The number who intend to form this procession will exceed 1000 persons. Bow-aTaser.—A man, who stated himself to be a fisherman, residing at Ramsgate, called at the Office on Saturday, and gave the following information : Friday se'nnight he was on the beach at Ramsgate, when a man of gentlemanly appearance offered him thirty guineas to take him immediately to France in his boat. He refused, and the man went assay, much raffled and disappointed. The informant soon after saw in posting-bills, a description of Fletcher, alias Franklin, from which he has no doubt it was him. 011 IN EICIEANGS, pen 113:—:-Our market was but moderately supplied with Whi;at this morning, and consisted of land-car rises samples from Essex and Kant, the late adverse gales hav ing permuted any arrivals from the Suffolk coast.
