RASTER MONDAY.—Holiday at the Szchequer,llaak, South Sea, and East India Houses. Podtdcript- LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 8. Three o'clock, yin. The Paris Journals of Thursday are chiefly occu pied with the report of the discussion of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, when the debate on the Estimates fur the Colonial Expenditure was re sumed. In alluding to the motion for reduction, M. Constant, that able and enlightened senator, re yroachtd Ministers for not. taking effectual measures to suppress the slave trade. He broadly asserted that the negroes were purchased for Senegal, who were branded in the shoulder with marks, shelving that they belonged to his Majesty. M. de Vaublanc endeavoured to show that all practicable means were adopted ; be, however, blinked the question, and supported the policy of giving encouragement to the colonies of Martinique and Guadaloupe. These papers contain no additional intelligence on the subject of Turkish dills, but the expectation of an iintnediate wur has occasioned as till further depression of the French Funds. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. .SUR It EY. KINGSTON, APRIL business on the Crown Side for this county finished on Saitirdiy. The only capital convicts left for execution were Philip Caton alias John Smith, fur robbiog DJs. Ndasou, of Newington, and John l)alton for an atrocious attester mum an infant. ..--011 the Civil Side Mr. Baron Graham sat till seven o'clock in the evening, and had not then tioished the causes, consequently the court was adjourned ono! Monday, and it is probable that the business will not be concluded before Tuesday esetting CROWN 11101.—THE KING V. MARCUS CROSBY. l'his was an indictment against the defendant for a • misdemeanor, in escaping from the rules of the King's Witch prison. The prosecution was conducted at the itestance of Mr. Jones, the marshal. -It appeared iu evidence that, about five years since, the deleittlant was a:relacd a::d went into the King's Bench prison. Detaioets to a cor.siderable amount were afterwards lodged against him. In order to obtain the rules lie gave the marshal the usual securities. It Was proved ,lit about two stars sitic,. he escaped and wea, to the Continent, anti was not retaken until a few months back, when he was found residing at No. 9, NVestinorlatitbstreet, Mary-le-home. The marshal iii the mean time, had been obliged to pay ramie of his debts, and was compelled to sue Gen. ‘Vetherall, who had become one of his sureties. The defendant, in his address to the Jury, contended, that by the law of the land this prosecution could not be sustained. Having given security bur the rules, liecould only lie considered as the prisoner of bus ; and not the prisoner of the marshal, who had taken the security 11l guard against a certain contingeticy. The immediate cause of his breaking the rules, was for the purpose of viaiting a dying wile, who expired in his arms. under the must afflicting circ 1111 l stances. As a proof of the siticenty of his ititention not so injure the Marshal, lie uttered to indorse to Idol a Bill of Exchange for 5001. accepted by General Wetherali, which would amply cover ally to,s which he bad sustained in consequetice of the es. care. H 2 represented that he had had the honour of seating in the army, and had claims upon the liritistl GLACllllnelll to a very cousiderable amount, which he could not have realiaeu without the production of certaiti documents. which could wily be procured by his personal absence abroad. Mr. Batton %l'ood charged the Jury that the derentlant •,•at mistaken in suppo , ing that it was nu offence to be k the rules of the King's Witch or Fleet Prisons, the 411 security hail been riven for the rules. Ile left it t the Jury upon lite evidence to say, whether, iu t of fact the defeu4 nt had broken ate rules. The Jury foutid the deicodain Guilty, and lie was sets. tented to six mouths iniprisonment its the couituon gaol of the county. RIOT.-7116 LATR THE KIND V.

'lwo officers, named Barrett and POIFFe, arreortOoktly sent JUMP si to Camberwell for the pur. p.se of rre,eft mg the peace. It appeared that the pro tteeuttir,, Mx.

AccurJingly, eight o'clock in the evening, an effigy of Mr. Lilly was paraded about the village, with great triumph. Mr. L. being a native of Wales, the figure was adorned with the insignia worn on St. David . . day by the votaries of that ancient saint. The effigy was apparelled in a black coat, to designate the gravity of Mr. Lilly's profession, a roll of parchment was placed under his arm,atiel a full-grown leek crested a most capaciouscocked hat, with which the head was covered. The figure was placed in a cart, drawn by a donkey, and thus drawn to Peckhain.rye, where Mr. L- resides, to the great entettainment of a large concourse Of people, drawn together to witness the fun. It stopped opposite the door of the prosecutor, and the air resounded with the shouts and Itnizas of the po pulace. The officers, Barrett and hearse, now thought it their duty to interlere, and put a stop to thew puttered togs. The delta:clod, Wm. pastes, seemed to base the conducting of the ceremonies, resisted an attempt to seize the effigy, and said it was his properly, and added, that he thought there was no harm in burning a Welsh Lawyer. The body guard of the effigy being too soling for attack, the Cart Colllllllltd to be paraded about the sillage. At length the effigy was taken out, affixed to a wilt., and again carried in front of Mr. Lilly's house. — The officers there interposed again ; a malt ensued — the officer Pearce was wounded in the cheek. Bataan w es :also struck, and a young inan named Devati, a a clerk of the prosecutor, who was employed in taking the names of the ringleadeis, by the directions of his master, experienced similar treatment. At length peace was restored. All the defendants were swore to as principal actors in the alleged riot. '1 lie indictment contained no counts either for the assaults upon the per sons above-inetitioned, or fur the libel upon Mr. Lilly in the exhibition of the effigy. The defence set tip was, that there•had been no riot, hen what was occasioned by the vio'ence of the officers, who were sta.eil to have been in a beastly state of illiOXI- ClOOll. It was tint denied that the delendauts bad acted unlawfully in ridiculing Mr. Lilhey, and alma Ili assault. ing the other persons named, but said that the prose cutor had mistaken his cottise of proceeding by indict ing the defendants for a riot, which had never been committed. Several witnesses were then called to prove the de fence opened. Two of the persons called were parish constables. and the rest respectable inhabitants of the village. They deposed, that the defendants, and all the persons assembled on the occasion, believed with the most perfect good humour, and in the most peaceable manner, until the Uition hall officers itilerfered. Nei disturbance would have taken place lint for such inter position. They stated that both the officers svere drunk, and behaved in a very improper manner. No act of violence had previously been committed—no disturbance of tlie public peace. and nnihing to excite terror and alarm ill the neighbourhood. The greater part of the assembled crowd consisted of old women and children, and, in the judginedt of the witnesses, the police officers were the only persons 40 blame. Mr. Baron Wood charged the Jury, that the mere as semblage of g or 31X) people would not constitute a riot, for if so, persons assembled at a horse-race or a bull-bait, might be liable to punishment as rioters. If an assem blage of people, however numerous, conducted itself peaceably and orderly, it is not a riot. It most be sliewit that the people assemble for the purpose of breaking the Kirg's peace, and that their conduct was such as to entlatiaer the hilltdiC peace, and to carry terror, disin..y, and atirightment (as the indictment expressed it), Sitio the surrounding neighbourhood. li the Jury should he of opinion that the defendants hail assembled ler the purpose of breaking the public peace, by carrying about the effigy, and had conducted tliClTlackcS so as to OCCa •• great danger, terror, and dismay in Me neignbour hood, that they would be guilty of a not; but otherwise the indictment must fall. The Jury immediately found the prisoners not guilty. CIVIL. Si DE. BODY.LINATCHI)I O . — THE KIND V. CUNDICK.

There weie various counts in the indictment, charging the offence in dffieretit ways. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared in evidence that a capital convict, 'tamed Edward Lee. who bad been tried and found guilty lit the last Croydon assizes of a highway robbery, was puff.. licly executed at HUrSelliOng..l-I.ltie gaol on Monday the Ira:hi of Sineisiber. Al er he was cut down he was ' delivered user to the defenda to, the appointed carpenter and undertaker of the gaol, hir interment at the county earner, for which he was allowed three maineas. lie ' ccetiveti particular directions that the afflicted mother .14 ;diet frietals of the deceased were to be permitted to see the hotly brace wtcnuem, and hollow it to the gl a re, if they thought proper. The friends of the tie ceased called on the delendatit, who lives in Itedcross street, to know whet the funeral would take place— Ile appointed the ffillowitig day, Tuesday, the l 1111 of September.

Application being made to the defendant for this purpose, !la said lie bad alteatly buried the body, because lie could not keep such people any longer in his house. The friend demanded a ceitt flea ke of the wneral, which he promised to pro cure on .t subsequent day, upon paying a tee.

The Iriends then became clamorous, and complaint being made to Mr. a% after, the gaoler, lie sent ter eatedly fur the delendatit to come to the gaol and explain his conduct, hut he declined coming.— The dewittlatit appeared agitated, and went alas hard as he could towaids the Southwark Iron Bridge. A pertain numed Crisp, who was with aw went cue *my after the defendant, and the turnkey another. The latter went to Crawford s burial ground, where he saw the sante suspicious looking man whom he had observed about the defendant's house. in the act of interring a coffin. lie immediately interposed, and said the coffin should not he buried until he examined its contents. He did open it, and found that it cont..ined nothing but earth. Seam h was then made for the body, and at length it was traced to Mr. Brooks's dissecting-rooms in Blenheim street. Marlbormigh-street, where it had undergone a partial dissection. The upper part of the scull had been re moved, but replaced. Several persons identilied the hotly as that of Edward Lee. It was proved that about ten o'clock in the evening of Tuesday, 1 Ith September, a hackney coach had stopped at the defendant s house, and the defendant was seen assisting tyi 0 men in hitiog a large hamper into the carriage, which then dune off. This was the subs slice oh the case for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defendant, but sett.. ral persoy gave him a good character for honesty and ind ustrY.
