KE.NI'. PJ - DT AT CANTERPLIRT...-..THE KING V. BUSHEL AND OTHER: 2 . Mains - roue, Auo UST 18.—This was an indictment against Johtt Bushell, W. Marsh, G. Harris, Mallard lirice, Charles •Nlinott, Thomas Rye, and T. Gurney, for a riot. A second count charged them with assault ing J. WitTrii; Esri Mayor td . the City of Canterbury; and °the& counts charged them with assaulting certain constables in the execution of their ditty, on the 16th of November last, at Canterbury. Titis case excited considerable interest. The trial lasted from eight in the 'matting until past ten at night; awl during the whole day the court was crowded to intolerable excess. . The proseCution was conducted by Mr. Noes and Mr. Holland. The (ICrelldatllS s ere deldaided separately by Mr. Common Serjeaut, Common Serjeatit, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Andrews, and Mr. Chitty. The following is an outline of the case, as it appeared from the es Silence 011 both sides consequence of the example set by the metropolis in November last, of illuminating to celebrate the result of the proceedings its the House of Lords against her late Majesty Queen Caroline, a requisition signed by lour Aldermen, several Consnioli Councilmen, and a great number of other respectable inhabitants of Canterbury, was sent to tttr Mayor, requesting hints to give public notice to the inhabitants of the city, that they would be expected to imitate the conduct of the metropolis on that memorable occasion, by illuminating to celebrate the defeat of the a t lSeged conspiracy against her Majesty's life and honour, it bring suggested that the sanction of the chief magis trate of the city for that purpose. would effectually tend to preserve ,the public peace. To this requisition the !Mayer retiimed an answer, declining to comply with the wishes of she requisitionists, and declaring his opi nion to be, that if he were to accede to the request it wdasid have a different tendency from that suggested. The requisitionists, in reply to this. put forth a re ationsiraisee, stating their reasons why the City of Can terbury might o u t so shew any backwardness in demon strating their attachment and reverence for the Queen, Its celeLratitig she termination of an inquiry which had polluted the lamd with obscenity and indecency ; and acting upon these sentiments they of their own accord issued ass invitation to the inhabitants to illuminate their houses in a proper and becoming Planner, on Thursday evening, the 16th of November. This produced on the part of the Mayor, a printed pablicanon of the rerplisision which had been sent to him, and the answer thereto, accomPJllied by an extract from the Riot Act, with all intimation that any breach of the peace would be visited with the severest penal ties of the law. On the moruing of the 16th, five per- Sons, described as some of the wort respectable inha bitants of the city, waited upon the Mayor, and re quested hint to swear in a certain number of special cost stables for the preservation of the peace in the evening. The Mayor desired that this request might be reduced •into writing and signed by the parties. The magistrate's clerk was instructed for that purpose, and he accordingly framed a declaration to be deposed to on oath. It was signed by the Mayor's brother-in-law, a journeyman primer, and three other persons of humble condiubm— Upods this the Mayor, without summooing his brother niagistra•es, or consulting wish them; immediately is sued his precept for swearing in special constables, all .of whom were either of the working class or middling tradesmen. The wily magistrates who sanctioned this ,proceeding were two aldermen wisu were ',rearm. At this time there was no symptom of any thing like tumult or noise its the city. It was 11 o'clock in the morning. An order was then sent to the Colonel Com mandlant of the troops to have the soldiers under arms old ready for action, in case their services should be teamed At five in the morning the special constables, wereall stationed in the immediate vicinity of the mayor's .house, and a Captain's guard of soldiers was drawn up near the spot. No symptoms of riot or disturbance as yet appeared. 'deal About eight in the evening the streets began to be crowded by persons lowliness the illuminations Shortly after that tune a cart was drawn through site slicer before the Mayor's door, with three effigies in it, rept,st uutte Majocci, and Louisa Densont, the celebrated witnesses against her late Majesty. In the cart, %%Stich was drawn by one of the dle.endants. accompanying she effigies, was a cliiinney-sweeper dressed in his sable ca nutitcals, with a flambeaux in one hand, and a stick in the other, with which lie occasionally inflicted some cis Ligation upon the effigies, to the great delight of the crowd.—lle also appeared now and then to have a book in hi hand nom which `he administered spiritual con solation so the culprits. This exhibition was followed by a crowd of about 200 persons, composed of the tradesmen of' the town end their suits. The crowd an nounced that their attention was to burn the effigies in front of the mayor's !muse. As they passed the mayor's door a few random stones were thrown and broke some of his windows. Cries of " The Queen for ever 1" re sounded from all quarters. Previously to this there had been two or three windows broken in front of the mayor's dwelling.—The crowd then passed on with the effigies towards she Guildhall. On their return about ten o'clock, just as they got to the mayor's door, the special constables, by a signal from a watchman's rattle, rushed in a body upon the can and tore the effigies in pieces. This act of aggression roused the indignation of the mob, winch at that time had increaaed in numbers, and, after driving away the constables, they commenced a regular attack upon Ilia mayor's windows, and broke to the number of 80 panes. Stones, brickbats, marbles, bullets, penny.pieces, and evety oilier iniaginable missile, were wed Ull the occasion. They then attempted to force the shutters of theSisayor's shop (in which he car ted on the business of. a silversmith), and tried to get Imo the house. At this time the mayor himself made 11:a appearance, and was immediately recognised by the mob, who abused him svi;h opprobrious names, honed and hissed him. In making his retreat he was pelted with mud, and was struck on the back duns neck by a THE NATIONAL REGISTER brickbat, which hurt him severely. A large stone, aimed at his head, fortunately missed him, or probably the blow would have been fatal. He succeeded in getting to the Town Hall, anti, accompanied by two aldermen and the town clerk, he returned to the scene of riot. The soldiers were then called in to clear a passageto the house, and having entered, the Mayor ordered the Riot Act to be read from the window of the second floor. The town clerk proceeded to read it, and whilst in the act of doing so, several stones were thrown, which covered his book with broken glass. The mayor then warned the mob to depart in quietness, but they continued to fling stones at the house. When the mayor descended again into the street, he was reviled and abused vehemently. The mob exclaimed against using military force, and said they would not be governed by military law; upon which the soldiers were out of sight, and the noise and tumult increased. When the military were brought back, however, peace was restored, and by four in the morning the streets were completely cleared. The several defendants above meutioned, five of whom are respectable and wealthy farmers, residing in the vi - 6114 of Canterbury, were now charged witlt taking part with these riotous proceedings. A vast bomber of wit nesses were examined on both sides. The Jury, after :10 minutes consideration, returned a verdict of 'Acquittal of all the defendants, which was received by the court with reiterated cheers. Tue Judge was one hour and 35 minutes in charging the Jiffy. The business of the Assizes finished about ten o'clock. Mr. Baron Wood did not dispose of the business on the civil side, until five in the evening. On Friday night Mr. Sergeant Lawes went off to open the commission at Lewes, as there was no prospect of of the learned Judge's finishing the business time enough to arrive at Lewes on Saturday. A great number of capital convictions took place during the Assizes. Three unhappy eriminals were left for execution, namely, the two men concerned in rob- Ling the house of Dr. l'iggot, and another for stealing n a dwelling house under aggravated circumstances.

It is stated in the Paris Papers of Monday last, that letters from Barcelona, dated the Bth of this month, excite an apprehension that the yellow fever has broken out in that city, where some individuals have died suddenly of that disease: it must have been communicated by a vessel which arrived front the Havannah. The authorities of Barcelona have caused the houses of the deceased persons to be closed. The consternation in the town and environs was general, and many funilies, both French and Spanish left the city immediately.
