In the Court of Chancery, on Wednesday, the Lord Chancellor gave judgment upon the application of Mr. Dices, a solicitor, to be die-'• charged from custody. He had been arrested on an attachment from the Court of Chancery, whilst attending for a client in the Court of Common Pleas. The question, said his Lordship, to be decided in i this case, involved the right of suitors to certain privileges which they ' now possessed, for it was on their account that the privilege was esta blished through the persons of attornies. His Lordship's first impres sion was, that an attorney ur solicitor, while engaged in the Courts, could never be arrested in civil process, but that he was entitled to protection of his personal liberty eundo,ntorando, el redeundo. There was no doubt as to this rule in the process in civil actions ; but, in the present case, the process being upon attachment, it had been argued that it was of a criminal, and not of a civil nature. He denied that it was so ; in ha technical form the process of attachment might be deemed criminal; but in spirit and effect it was a civil process. His Lordship regretted that the cases upon the point which had been decided in Courts of Law tad not been more particularly adverted to. It was held by the text writers, and confirmed by express decisions, that attornies i bail, wit t.e.sea, and the parties in cause s , were privileged eundo,ntorando, et re. fletnew. This privilege extended to attendance in the Insolvent Debtor's Omit ; and though there hdd been doubts as to whether it extended to the Cuur:a of Commission of Bankrupts, it was now held shat it did apply to them also. An attorney was entitled to two sorts of protection; one as an officer of the Court, in which character he could ' not be sued on mean process, but proceedings must be commenced in another form. The other protection was, when be was employed for others in his capacity of attorney or solicitor, when he could not be arrested upon that process, upon which, when not so employed, he might be taken. This privilege was not, however, to he abused, or used as a colourable excuse. He (Lord B.) had consulted the Chief Justices of the other Courts, and they entertained no doubt ea to the practice of their own Courts upon the subject • ar4 the rivileges of their Courts were us high in this respect as thole of this Court. His lordship ordered Mr. Dies* to be discharged hum custody. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Max 5. TIM CORPORATION OF LONDON v. THE cowatissioszas OP CUSTOMS. A rule was obtained , last Tem. calling upon the Commissioners of Customs to *hew cause why a issandansue should not compel them to pay over to the Corporation of London certain sums for salvage and porterage on the goods, wares, and merchandise of aliens, la nd ed at the Custotn-ht.use, or within the jurisdiction of the City of London.— The citizens claim this under a Royal Charter granted in the 16th of Charles I. Sir J. EN'ARLSTT this day appeared to sbew Mlle against the rule ; )Jr. ADAMS, Mr. Law, and the Recommit in support of it. Sir J. SCARLETT s aid the question was, whether the City had a right to savage upon the goods of resident aliens; and there was also a question upon the validity of their charter ? A great variety of do cument* would be required in the arguments, and therefore it might be advantageous to all parties to arrange the facts in a special case The proposition was rejected, and Sir James was preparing to argue the points, when The Codas. intimated that they ought to have the documents before them to understand the question, and it was finally arranged that the rule should be enlarged, upon an understanding that the matter is to be orgued on Monday, the seventh day in next term. rasLow T. THE MUNOEITORD MAZKIT COMPANY. This was a question of compensation to an inhabitant of Hunger. ford Market, who is compelled under the Act of Parliament to quit her remises. On a former day a rule was obtained, calling on the Hungerford Market Company to show cause why a mandamus should not compel, them to empannel a Jury to assess damages sustained by Mrs. Ann Farlow, by being obliged to quit her premises, to make room for the new market. Mrs. Farlow's husband and his father had been living on the premises sixty years, and having improved the property, a com pensation is called for under the Act of Parliament, which in the 19th section enacts that com nsation shall be given to all occupiers and te owls who sustain any e by being obliged to quit dick premises. Sir J. beastly? the rule far a mandamus, on the ground that Mrs. Farlow, being a tenant at will, had received due notice to quit from her landlord, Mr. Wise, who had sold the Hungerford estate to the Market Company. The notice expired at Christmas, 1830, and as Mrs. Farlow did not quit, the Company had commenced an action of ejectment. Under these circumstances, eke was coder a legal tr .......•110.•MORMIN wcrg, __.__ 9 , obligation to go, and placed in no ems *kaiaks: than any other toast at will. The AvvOiXET-OZNZIAL, in support of the rule, contended that the Legislature had contemplated the situation of the tenants and poor persons likely to be injured by the plan of this wealthy Company, and that the 19th section expressly provided that a compensation should be given for good-will, fixtures, and other interests, which tenants usually inked for in giving up trade and business. Mr. Law followed on the same aide, and argued that the party claiming compensation was clearly entitled to it, because her interests were not to be sacrificed. The tenants at will were possessed of a marketable intereat In their premises, for there was an understanding that the tenants upon the estate should not be disturbed so long as they paid their rent. If the Court should decide against the right of Mrs. Farlow to compensation, the interests of the tenants would be sacrificed to enable Mr. Wise and the Company to enrich themselves tenfold, without giving the smallest compensation to the injured parties. The Court held that the object of the clause was to give compensa tion to the tenants who had feeble interests arising out of good-will of premises, &e. and were unanimously of opinion that the mandamus should go to the directors of the company. hole for mandamus made absolute. IniBLZ v. triers. This action was brought for a breach of contract, and on the trial in the Court of Common Pleas, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 7501. damages. It was afterwards moved in error in this Court, and the case was argued on a former day. The Court this morn ing gave judgement and decided that the verdict was wrong, as the change in the management was very important to an action, and that that change according to the agreement was sufficient to relea se the De fendant from the contract. Judgment reversed. THE KING T. COOLING . The defendant was this morning brought up for judgment, having been convicted in July, 1824, of publishing a libel on H, Jolliffe, Esq. The libel was read, and the defendant addressed the Court in nritiga. tion, as it appeared he had written the libel whilst he was under great excitement from a supposed injury. The Court desired him to find two securities in 1001. each, or four in 601. each, for his good behaviour for three years. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, MAY 5. This sessions commenced this morning before F. Cower, Esq.' Chairman. After the usual preliminary forms had been gone through, Rohe Bryant wee indicted for stealing a handkerchief, the property of Col. William Edward Powell. It appeared that the prosecutor was walking along the Strand, on the 25th of April, and when he arrived near Hungerford.street, some person called out that he was robbed. He immediately felt in bis pocket, anti then found that his handkerchief had been taken away, and saw the prisoner in custody, on whose person his hand kerchief wee found. The prisoner was convicted, and the Chairman sentenced him to be transported for seven years. POLICE REPORTS. Otriumer.i..—George Bailey, formerly a solicitor's clerk, was finally committed, charged with conspiring with William Ivy and Gil bert Rotton, to obtain the release of the latter from the custody of the Warden of the Fleet, by forging and uttering a document in imitation of a writ of superseders, on the btb of April last. A second charge was preferred against Bailey, for obtaining various sums, and in particular, a sum of 11. 104 under false prsiences, from George and John Sandy.. George Sandy. deposed that he is clerk to a solicitor, and that about the beginning of Dec. last, he applied to the prisoner, telling him that a writ of Teri facia+ had been issued and levied on the goodnofi his brother John, at the suit of Papps and another, and that no writs had been served upon him, and consequently the proceedings were irregular. Prisoner said he had no doubt he could set the proceedings aside, if wit. ness would let him have some money. He gave him only 24.6 d. On the following afternoon the prisoner called on witness, and raid he bad taken out a summons to set the proceedings aside, and had served it, and the party had not appeared. Witness gave him some money to get fresh summonses. From that day till the 29d, prisoner had several sums, and repeatedly told him what he bad been doing in the business. On the 24th, he announced that he had set the proceedings aside, and ad vised that the Sheriffs should be proceeded against for an Illegal dis. tress. Prisoner said he shuuld want 11. 10s. and represented that be was going to Lord Tenterden's for some purpose, which witness had forgotten. Witness had spoken of the cue to an attorney named Lamden before he mentioned it to the prisoner. Gave prisoner the IL 10s. • John Sandys deposed that he had given the prisoner several sums of money. He had had no relief from anything the prisoner had done. On the Monday after Christmas Day prisoner gave him a paper, which be now produced, and which purported to be an order to set aside an execution, signed " Tenterden.' It was not a genuine document, for if it had been, the execution would have been set aside George Sandy. added that if the prisoner had taken the steps he bad mentioned, Mr. Hensman, the solicitor to the plaintiffs in the suit, Papps and another against Sandy., must have received notice of them. James Dalton, clerk to Mr. Hensman, proved that the only proceed ' ing to set aside the fieri faeitts was s. summons taken out by Mr. Lamden, and the proceedings had not been set' aside . The risoner declined to make any defence. Mr. Alderman Vexostas committed him en this charge also. name Or ST. BLUITI/I•IW.THICFIELDIEITILA OIII DIMIIIT Seism—Yesterday, Mr. Joseph Sawyer, one of the Overseers of the Pair of the Parish of St. Martin.in-the-Fields for the last year ending at Raster, appeared before 0. R. MINIAIIILL and Tnoreas HALLS. &qrs. at the Public Office, Bow-street, to answer to an infounadea exhibited by Mr. Fenn, the well-known Bookseller, under the Statute of the 17th of Geo. 11. for unlawfully refusing to permit certain parish oners to inspect the accounts of that year, as they were entitled to do upon demand, and upon the payment or tender of Sixpence for such inspection. Mr. Sawyer was attended by Mr. De Ville, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Raw. lint, Mr. Foulkes, and a number of other Gentlemen of the " Select party ;" and 91r. Fenn by a still greater number of the " Anti- Select," so that between the two parties the Office was crammed to suffocation, and the excitement that prevailed during the proceedings gave them more the character of a public meeting than of a Magis trates' Petty Sessions. Mr. Fenn, in stating his case to the Magistrates, said that the great body of the parishioners, notwithstanding all lls proceedings that had taken place both in the higher and lower Courts and at public meetings, were still debarred from their just rights by a select few, and the present proceeding was the result of an obstinate ani pertinacious re fusal on the part of the governors of the pariah to allow those who paid rates to inspect the accounts of the appropriation of those; rates. He should prove the refusal, and the tender of 6d. as tequired by the law ; and the magistrates, he apprehended, would have no difficulty iu in flicting the penalty of 101. awarded by the statute. Mr. Alexander Smith, of Bedfordbury, a parishioner of St. Martin's, deposed that he went with others, on the 22d April, to the office of the overseers of the poor, at the workhouse, and there saw Mr. Rawlins, who, he believed, was the clerk to the overseer*, and Mr. Fenn said they had called fur the purpose of inspecting the accounts of the past year and tendered a sixpence, as required tty the act. Mr. Rawlins said was only the servant of the parish, and could not permit the inspection without leave from the overseers and churchwardens. The defendant, Mr. saw, er, came in at that time, and, on being told the object of the visit, he said they should not see the accounts, and they might do their he at and heir worst. As they acre Fuming an.. Mr. Fenn, who had pro/musty pieced a sixpence on the table, push.... t across to Mr. Rawlins, and Mr. Rawlins said, " 0, never mind, I :t -wit it," meaning, us witness believed, he admitted the tender. Mr. Haets.—Witness, do you know, of your own knowledge, in what capacity Mr. Rawlins acts in the parish / Witness—Not certainly of my own personal knowledge, but 1 have always understood him to be clerk to the churchwardens and overseen.. Mr. HALLS—Was there any tender of &I. made to Mr. S. personally? Witness-1 cannot say there was. Mr. HAL Le—Then I think, there is no case proved, for the in. formation is against Mr. Sawyer, who avers that the sixpence wee tan.. dered to him. Mr. blinsuum.-1 am of opinion that it the tender was made br Mr. Rawlins. the clerk of the cveneers, in the presence of any one of. ' them, it Is sufficient fen this information. (lieu, hear, and bravo, from the anti-select.) Mr. Hatay—But it is nut strictly proved that Mr. Rawlins is the clerk to the overseers. Mr. Fenn—Then I will ask Mr. Rawlins himself if be is not so? Mr. Rawlins—Then, Sir, I decline to answer that question. (A Ingb from the * Select," and cries of " Shame, every body knows be Is o w from the other side.) Mr. MinsuuLe—But I know that he is, because he often acts before on in that capacity, and lam not to be hoodwinked to a fact within By own knowledge—" Bove, Mr. Illinshull," from several voices. Mr. hairs said, that if even that fact were admitted, a tender to the overseer himself had not, in his opinion, been sufficiently proved. Mr. De Ville said the Overseas stated at the time tbat they were willing the parishioners should see the accounts when they had been properly prepared. Mr. Fenn—Yes, that is to say when they were passed by two ma- Bimetal. This was precisely the case two years ago, when 1 laid a tai nder information. I was told I might see them when they RM. passed, but was afterwards refused, and when I proceeded here the Overseers, the Magistrates refused to convict, on the they could not revise the acts of other Magistrate s, the account' MAW been already attested. Mr. Thomas Bayne, another parishioner, swore that Mr. Rawlins ad mittedo In the presence of Mr. Sawyer, that Mr. Fenn had tendered lilm sixpence. Mr. Fenn then read a portion of the Act to Mr. Raw. , lips. Mr. Sawyer must have seen the &Urns when Mr. Rawlins pushed it back. Mr. Baker said that Mr. Rawlins stated that he was but a servant of the par iah , but he received the sixpence, observing • I must take it of course.. Mr. Strachan, an overseer, came In at the time, and was In. formed of the object of the visit ; a nd Mr. Sawyer came in also, and st being similarly informed, told the whatnot's very rudely that they, minoPm•NPOP.mr•mommi!" - ' .I.Twrir,www,""7"' ndslit do dsdr tat end their went. Witness acid to Mr. Sawyer-- " We have applied to your clerk, Mr. Bawling, for an Inspecdee of the parish begs, and have teethed fid. but it was refused, sad he cthat be defied them, end mated them Insultingly. The fid vas m the table, and Mr. lawyer meat have seen it. . Sawyer, during the of the last witness, repeatedly exclaimed "That's Wer, Wixom what you say, Sir, mind what you are about,' until be was premptchily desired by Mr. MI:IAA to be silent. Mr. Sawyer then submitted that no ease had bees made out spinet him. Mr. HALLS was of opinion that the case had failed In proof as re. prded the tender of Bd. to NIT. Sawyer. Mr. Faux contended he had proved that the tender had been made at the proper place, to a recognised agent of the overseers, and even within the ken of Mr. Sawyer himself, sufficiently at least for the pur pose of the Act. He was astonished that the parish officers should en deavour still to debar them of their rights by sheltering themselves un der mere technicalities ; but if they persisted in doing so, shit*: tribunal must be appealed to.—(Cries of &avo !" and stamping of feet followed this statement.) Another parishioner here tendered himself as a witness, but Mr. HALLn said the other party had a right to object to further evidence being received. Mr. Fenn having dosed his ease, Mr. Sawyer immediately put In his objection. Mr. Misrenuu..—Rafly, Mr. Halls, I think that in general pro. ceedings before Magistrates should not be governed 'Hedy by all the formalities which are observed In the higher Courts.—(Applause from the Anti-Select.) Mr. HALLS.—I differ with you there, Mr. Minshull, entirely; for I think Magistrates cannot do better than strictly to follow the course prescribed for them by the higher authorities...-( 4 Hear, hear," from the Select.) Mr. itinfintrxr..—l think we canhot be too strict in searching after the truth, and mere formalities sometimes stand in the way of it. I think the proof adduced staikient, but my Colleague does not, there. fore we cannot decide. Mr. HALLS.—There is one little point further in which the proof has failed, namely, the payment to Mr. Rawlins, for I dare say he ,neeer had the sixpence, and it is most likely in the pocket of Mr. Fenn now. Mr. Mursnut.i..—l don't know how Mr. Fenn was to force it into Mr. Rawlins's pocket, or the overseers either. (Loud laughter.) I must say I wonder that the officers of such a parish as St. Martin's' should refuse the inspection of their books, and that they should set up such a line of defence as has been adopted here to-day. Whrnot let the parishioners see the boots at once? Mr. HALLS.--I think it a very proper defence, and I will not allow the parish officers to be reflected upon, "use I think they do not de. serve it. Mr. Muumuu. s trong ly re e parlds officers to allow al th the books to be inspeeW mod would consent tea apologia altogether of the inform ation, if that were acceded to. (Several pa rhillioners cried out," Hear, hear, that is all we want.") The parish officers consulted together for some time, and it was then stated that they would permit the books to be inspected if the informa tion were disiniseed altogether. This was done with a full understanding that the books should be open to the inspection of the parishioners, together with all vouchers of accounts to which those books might refer. The anti.select parishioners appeared to regard this issue of the pro ceedings as a complete victory, and left the office in high spirits. Montsortottou-SragsT.—Gonve Mulford, the driver of the cha riot 229, was yesterday brought up on a warrant, before F. A. Ron and H. M. Dims, &qrs. charged with the following shameful assault on a riatleman. - Mr. W. B. Bourke sated, that he was coming out of the Colonnade hotel, when he observed the defendant drive the pole of his chariot in such a situation, as actually to endanger the life of a lad who was sitting in a gig. The defendant immediately began abusing the lad, and in sisted on his driving on to release the vehicle. The complainant saw that this was impossible, and dictated only by a desire to rescue the lad from his perilous situation, he desind the defendant to back, as that would be the best way to extricate the gig. The fellow turned the tor rent of his abuse on the complainant, and made use of the most disgust ing language ; and while the gentleman was standing near the fluted columns of the Colonnade, the defendant doubled his fist and struck him in the breast. He again repeated the assault, and subsequently threat ened to give him a good hiding. The defendant was fined 90s. and costs, and committed for one mouth in defkult. Harrox-Clannew.--Yesterday John Donuts was charged with stealing a portable writing.desk from the shop of Air. Parker, broker, of Judd -street, Brunswick-square. The charge was fully wed, and the prisona committed to Newgate for trial. LAMISETH-STaaaT.—Jaiaar Deering, a well-dressed middle-aged man, was yesterday brought before Messrs. Hardwick and Walker, for final examination, on two charges of extensive burglaries, the one at the house of Mr. John Bull, a watchmaker and jeweller, in the town of Bedford, where the property stolen amounted to over 7001. and the other at the mansion of Mina Lapriesage, a lady of fortune, residing at Walthamatow, in Essex, where the loss of the property was estimated at over 200 L In support of the first charge, Richard Walton, a tailor, stated that, on the night of the 26th of lat month, he saw die prisoner and two other men, all of whom were strangers to him, drinking at the Flower pot public house at Bedford. They had three pots of beer there, and left the house before witnesa. He was certain the prisoner was one of them. G. Chamberlain, a postboy at Stratford, stated that, on the 27th of last month, the prisoner and two others ordered a post chaise at the White Hart Inn, and he drove them from thence to Welling and Bar. net. They bad a large bundle with them. Wm. Luddingtoo, a postboy at Mr. Marion's, at Bernet, stated that the prisoner and two others were driven to his master's house on the morning of the 27th ult. by the last witness. They immediately or dered another chaise to take diem to town, and he (witness) drove them , to Aldersgate street, as they desired. After they had got out of the , chaise, he found on the seat the silver snuff-box, which he now produced. Air. Bull here identified the snuff-box as his property, and said that it bad been stolen from his house on the night of the 20th of last month along with a variety of property. Mrs. Harris, who keeps a beer and coffee-shop, in Aldengste-street, deposed that the prisoner, in company with two other men, came to her house on the 27th of last month. After having breakfast, they called a hackney.coach, sod desired the coachman to Jain them to Back I Church-lane, WhitechapeL The prisoner had a large bundle with him at the time. Prendergast, an officer belonging to this establishment, said that, on the 28th of April,be apprehended the prisoner in Petticoat-lane, and on searching him, he found on his person a pair of ear-rings. The ear-rings were identified by Mr. Bull, as a part of his property. SbeJewell, another officer, produced a razor, which he had taken from the prisoner, and it was identified by the cook and footman of Alias Lapriesage as being the property of that lady, and that it was placed in one of the drawers that had been ransacked on the night of the robbery, and was used by her for cutting her clans. A cutler at Strut , ford, woo had ground it once ur twice, identified it also, and the ' intponts was dully committed to take his giallo' both charges. A re.pecisbee.lookine young man was charged with robbing a fashionably-dressed little Jew, hawed Junes, of but gold watch. It appeared that the parties had been playing at cards, and the person charged had lent the Jew 31 10e. on the watch, and having lost that sum to him and other persons in the room, be insisted on the restoration the watch. This of course was refused, and be gave the person hold ing it into tt.e custody of a policeman. It was represented to the :%lagistrate that the Jew was a professed e gan.bler. az el that the present was no; the fi rst charge of the sort which be bad made. Upon which the Ma gistrate at once dismissed the COW. I plaint, and desired Drew,the Inspector, to give up the watch to the per. son from whom he bad eken i!. The Jew left the office app. rently much dissatisfied with the decision. 1 Union-Hai-L.—Yesterday, Charles Ilichardecon, a respectable looking young man was brought before Mr. Zan ea.:, charged with fraudulently obtaining the sum of 1001. from Mr. Firth, a tradesman, in Lambeth. The complainant stated that, in the month of September last, the prisoner ceded on him, and having produced five bills, draws by him self and accepted, requested that he would discount them, at the same time offering the legal interest. Complainant having bad some tran sactions of the same nature with the prisoner, in which that per son had taken up the bills when they became due, consented to discount the bills in question to the amount of 1001. At the time when they became due they were dishonoured, and, on inquiry, it was ascertained that the acceptors names on the bills were all ficti tious, and the prisoner absconded on the discovery, and had not bees heard of until within the last few days. The complainant atkled, that when the prisoner was taken into custody, a piece of paper was found in his possession, on which he had been practising to imitate the hand writing and signature of other persona. The prisoner expressed a desire to be remanded for a week, saying that, at the expiration of that time, he should be enabled to enter upon his defence. He was accordingly remanded. Edward Jones and George Martin, two of the resurrection gentry. were charged with biddies into the churchyard of St. Saviour's parish, and stealing the body ea firmale interred there a few days previously. It appeared that the Omen were discovered by a policeman, who saw them at work in the burial ground through the iron palisades and having obtained further amistanco, the fellows were apprehended in the act of pulling the body by the neck, with a rope round it, out of the grave. In their poesselsoi Wee band the implements need by men tci 5 x43 of their pursuits, that with a beg.

The sexton said that several bodies bad been Moistened from the bit. -~~- nil ground in *moduli, and that the pariah Akan were determined e s making examples of some of the effentiers. The Magistrate said be should commit the prisoners for trial, and that the parish officers were bound to prosecute them. THANES Pottcz.—Yesterday, LOMPlia LIMO, slim Sistatons. and Elisabeth his wife, who appeared with her head bandaged, and two dreadful black eyes, were charged with alarming the inhabitants of Albion.street, Commercial-road, by quarrelling and making a great du. turbance in their house. C. W. Wheeler, a police sergeant, beard the cries of murder, the smashing of aockery, and the breaking of furniture, in the house oc . c o pied by the prisoners, and on going into it, found the whole place ill confusion, the furniture broken, the windows and crockery @mulled, and Lyons and his wife fighting. He had given her two black eye s , and broken her bead. and she in return had actually bitten a piece of flesh out of his right arm, tearing away the coat and shirt. James Morgan, pollee sergeant, said the house kept by the defendants was a notorious brothel, and rows were constantly taking place there. Capt. RICIMILL and Mr. BALLANTINI held the defendants ty bail to keep the peace. ln default, they were locked up. The penny subscription in aid of the General Lying-in. Hospital has met with great success. Mrs. General Orr alone collected 31,000 pence ; and Messrs. R. and T. Gun. ter, upwards of 5,000. Yesterday gave another curious proof of the variableness of our variable climate. At nine o'clock it was a beautiful and warm May morning ; at eleven it wan bitterly cold; and the noon-day sun was accompanied by a bountiful shower of good-sized hail stones. Snow only was wanting to make it dead winter. JACK KETCH A PROFESSOR I-A Bristol paper, in its notice of the execution of Walker, the burglar, observes, that the prisoner remained in prayer for a short time with the Chaplain ; after which the executioner proceeded to the duties of his PROFESSION ! Only think of a Professor. ship of Hanging being founded and endowed in one of our Universities ! 6{ England, and may those who do not like it leave it." —This used to be a standing toast at alLconvivial meetings of loan jobbers, contractors, sinecurists, placenien,lebsion era, and the endless variety of zealous patriots who were fed by the taxes, and were, therefore, interested in sup porting the existing order of things, in crying down reform, and in resisting every change. Now is the time for these people to adopt their own counsel. " The world is all before them" where to choose their resting place (if, indeed, there tan be any rest in this life for boroughmongers), and where they may form a Utopia of their own, and establish as many Canons and Old Sarums as they please. We would stre nuously recommend to their notice Port Jackson, the coun try of 'kangaroos and convicts; or the Cape of Good Hope; in the very name there is magic for those who have no hope for their own country. There, too, is a place, called Algoa Bay, where they may all go, in perfect confidence that they will leave few behind them who will regret their departure. We repeat, let them " follow their own teaching," and abandon England for ever—" merry England," where the general joy is marred only by the despairing voices and lacrymose looks of a handful of baoughmongers and their dupes and adherents. We have to record another act of diabolical incendiarism, for which two wretches have been taken up upon their own confession, and committed to Norwich Castle. Last Tuesday afternoon, about two o'clock ,two large wheat stacks belonging to Mr. Primrose, jun. of Trunch, near North Walsham, were discovered to be on fire. The stacks stood in a field at some distance from the farming premises. An engine from North Walsham was speedily on the spot, and every exertion was made by the people assembled to save the property. This, however, was not effected in any great degree. The men who have since confessed themselves the perpetrators of this deed are inhabitants of Trunch, and their names are Neal and Dewing. MARRIED.
