AN INFLEXIBLE JURYMAN!-At the Lincoln W - tixe.4 an indictment was preferred against William IVilliams, for a riot at Stamthrd on the 11th of Nov. last (on the occasion of the o ithdrawal of the bill of pains anti penalties), and breaking the windows in house of Mr. Hunt. Mr. Denman made a powerful address to the Jury, and insisted that there was no riot. The Judge, in summing up, said, that no man could upon his oath say it was not a riot ; titter which, the Jury withdrew, and were absent for about two hours, when the Foreman came into court, and said he was desired to ask whether, if eleven were agreed in the verdict, and only one held out, those 1 t might be discharged ? The Judge said it was impossible. At the expiration of five hours the independent and inflexible Juryman came into Court, and said that the other 11 had agreed to find the defendant guilty, but be could not reconcile it to his conscience t say that %Vahan's had riotously demolished Mr. HunL's windows, the Jury, there fore wished to know whether the .I%.ilge would withdraw him and appoint another in his place.— The Judge s: id he could not. The business of the Court ended at five o'clock. At half past 8, when the Jut v sworn on this indictment had been for ten hours locked up, and the conscientious gentleman declared that he would sooner eat the mortar of the c !iling than give 9, the eleven others, rather than be cartel on the circuit to Nottingham (as the law naluires in case the twelve cannot agree to retina a ver.lict), resigned their judgment and gave in at the Julge's lodgings a verdict liar the dfli.adant. A day and Sunday School has been established at Liverpool, for the instruction of the children of seamen and others connected with the shipping of the port : for which purpose a large room has been fated up which will accommodate 490 children, who are to pay one penny per week each for their instruction. Letters received from Edinburgh Ray, that Sir W. Forbes and Co., the bankers there, havegiven nog ;e that in consequence of money being so plentiful, Nay can only al!ow 3 and a half per cent. for deposits ; and where the sums are small, only 3 per cent. The Bank of England has refused to take all silver coins which have holes punched through them, or which arc otherwise mutilated, the Government are determined to keep up the intr:nsie value of the Majesty, it is understood, will certainly visit Scotland next year, and hold his Court at Holyrood House for three or four weeks. Thursday morning the grand and interesting spec tacle of the Masonic Meeting for the Installation of Sir William de Crespigny, Bart. M.P. as Provincial Grand Master for Hampshire, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex (in person), the Most Worship ful Grand Master of England, took place at the Audit-house, Southampton. His Royal Highness having graciously condescended to accept the offer of making him a burgess of the town and county, the Corporation met in their robes. After this ce remony the Royal Duke was attired in the splendid Insignia of his Masonic Office, and proceeded to the Installation of Sir William. The procession was attended by the Southampton Lodge, and the Lodges from Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, Winchester. On the intelligence of the death of the Queen reaching Nottingham, a meeting of the bar took place, at which an unanimous resolution was passed, requesting Mr. Denman to retain on the circuit the precedency he enjoyed as Solicitor General to her Majesty. On Monday last a number of persons were assem bled at an auction in an upper room of a house at Launceston, Cornwall, and being busily engaged either in examining the articles offered fire sale, or ! in attending to the eloquent effusions of the auc tioneer, they were wholly inattentive to the state of the floor, which, being unequal to the weight upon it, suddenly gave way with a tremendous crash, and precipitated the whole assemblage to the floor be neath. The consternation and outcry may be easily imagined: happily, however, no very serious injury was sustained. The company chiefly consisted of females, several of whom received contusions, and some have been since confined to their rooms in con sequence of the fright they sustained. The auc tioneer, a grave personage, escaped with the loss of Lis spectacles. A respectable body of landed proprietors, as a means of assisting their tenants, have agreed by subscription to support an establishment of light caravans, principally to supply the London markets with fresh butter, &e. from the dairy tin ms situated near the roads leading from Exeter and Taunton to London. The plan is at ranged to convey such goods into market as quickly as those from Buckingham and Cambridgeshire; which, from their freshness, command a superior price to those sent salted from Devon, Dorset, and Somerset, where the value is greatly reduced by the competition of Dutch and other salt butter. The establishment, it is evident, must miterially benefit the daily Ening, now sadly distrt , scd, and become generally useful to trade by a quicker and cheap tranakr of gun& THE NATIONAL REGISTER DREADFUL Actin:intr.—About three o'clock, on Tuesday afternoon, Captain Gardiner, smack-owner, of the a port of Harwich, with a party of friends, set sail in a boat to drink tea on board his vessel, lying at ancbor in the harbour. When about a quarter of a mile from the shore one of the women's bonnets was blown off, and in gibing the boat in order to get it (the wind blowing fresh, and the main sheet fast on the contrary side), the boat upset. by which dreadful accident the wife of Captain Gardiner, his daughter, aged 13, an apprentice of the age of 17. and Mrs. Miles (who had a child in her arms about two years old), were unfortu nately drowned. The captain, his son a youth of seven years of age, and an apprentice. together with another p rson, and Mrs. Mile's child were preserved from a watery grave by bo.us from the shore, which went in every direction to render assistance. This shocking event was witnessed by a number of persons tin the beach who had seen the party embark. Tne bodies only of Mrs. Gardiner and Mrs. Miles have been picked up. Mr Heber, who is this year high-sheriff for the county of Salop, on meeting the Judges of Assize, at Shrews bury, on Tuesday. a numerous buy of his tenantry and friends attended hint into the town with favours in their hats, in conserptenco of his being elected one of the Re• presentatives in Parliament for die University of Oxford. As Mr. Ashton, of Spalding, Mr. Collier, of the theatre, and a child, were returning from Fossdike, m a gig a few days ago, accompanied by Mr. Peacock on horseback, the horse in the gig took fright, and ran down a declivity of fourteen feet into a deep pond, where it overturned the gig. The child was ill the water, un derneath the body of the gig; but, from that most peril ous situation, it was happily extricated by Mr. Peacock, who dived and Nought up the infant unhurt. Mr. (oilier was very severely bruised, but the child and Mr. Ashton providentially escaped unbprt. About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon last, a portmanteau, cow:lining wearing apparel and valuables was cot off and stolen from behind the carriage of W. Burton. Esq. of Holton ll:ckering. It appears that shortly alter passing over the brdgo at Gainshorough, towards Bswtry, two men were observed by the driver to cross over the road, as it f, r the purpose of tiding behind, but he pulling up a the lieu sons stopped on the road : so short a time had elapsed, that nothing was apprehended, until in walking up Grinelcy-hill, it was discovered that the straps had been cut, and the portmanteau carried toff. Notwithstanding every exer tion, the perpetrators have not been discovered. brQuesrs.—An important enquiry affecting the life of the mother of John Baldwin, an intact child aged about ten weeks, took place before one of the coroners for Bucks, at Wendover, in that county, on Monday last, by which the ill ellScts of administering drugs of a poi -1:111011$ nature by persons unskilled in the medical pro fessioil, were again manifest. The mother of the child, it appeared clearly in evidence, had, at certain periods, lalamred under ath:ctions of insanity, and only the day previously to the fatal occurrence, she had exhibited symptoms of a return of her disorder. About eight o'clock on Friday morning the 24th ill% she purchased at general shopkeeper's at Wendover, two pennyworth of laudanum, and although cautioned that it must be taken in small 4;11,1'166e5, she, in a few minutes after wards, gate her child, who was indisposed, a tea spoon full of it ; she seemed fearful that she had given it what was wrong, and went into the houses of several oilier neighbours to ascertain whether the remainder of the liquid in the bottle were Godfrey's, and on being informed that it was laudanum, she evinced great feeling and dis tress of mind, fearful of the consequences to her child ; and, indeed, it appeared, that she became so bad almost to distraction, as to he unable to nurse her infant longer. Medical assistance was procured for the child ; but in vain, as it expired about ten o'clock in the evening of the same day it swallowed the laudanum. The verdict was —That she gave the lau lan to the child whilst in au unsound state of mind. On Sunday the 26th ulti a boat belonging to Buck haven, Fifeshire, on her return from the Herring Fishery, was suddenly upset, at 4 p. m. when about 1 miles oil' the Ottolen coast. The crew, consisting of four men, succeeded in righting her, and by lashing the masts across the gunwales, prevented her, although hill of water, trout again turning keel uppermost, and in this state they were fortunately descried by the sea men of Botlilum, and rescued from their perilous situa tion, after bring for more than 12 hours exposed to it. With the exception of one mink, found at sea next morning by a F1101101(1 boat, along with a kw Istils, they have lost every thing, including 251. worth of nets. Mr. Mrs. and the two elder Misses Ashe, on their way to Cheltenham on Sunday fr Manchester, were overturned in a stage coach between Worcester and Tewkesbury, in consequence of the linchpin of one of the front wheels not being properly secured. Fortu nately at the time the coach was ()swotted it was close to a full-grown hedge, on which fourteen outside pas sengers were thrown, and they all escaped without any broken buttes, though with some slight bruises and scratches from the hedge. Mrs. Ashe and her daughters escaped ortihurt, but Mr. Ashe received a violent contu sion on his left shoulder.

It blew haul, with a heavy sea going, when the Hew carried away her utast head, which, falling to leeward, stove in the deck, and through the aperture tints wade the water washed in so fast that the pumps could not keep her file. The crew and two passengers then took to a small boat, and had scarcely quitted the vessel when she went down. They were snortly afterwards nicked up by the Hope, of Pw and lauded at Nlil ord Haven.
