Their guilt was equal—their crime similar, and their punishment, as nearly as may be, coeval. The pleasure of his Majesty is announced as hav ing removed Sir Robert Wilson—the King, when assenting to an Act of Parliament, declares, " Le ltoi le vent"—" The King wills ii,"—when refusing his assent, "Le Rai s'en avisera,"—" The King, still think gl it ;" and for the credit of his Majesty and the Government, we wish that the latter had been his royal answer to the proposal of his Mi nisters to dismiss unheard, untried, and unconvicted, in our opinion, a most meritorious officer—valiant in the field, prudent in counsel—of whom the head and front of the offence is, that he censured a line of conduct that has been subsequently pronounced " Wilful Murder" by a Jury of Englishmen. Cun it be the wish of Government to render contempti ble the institution of a Jury, by placing its own acts in opposition to such a decision ? Be this as it may, we are convinced that the united efforts of Mr. Cobbett, and all the radical writers together, could not do so much towards rendering contemptible the measures of administration as these two ill-judged, petty, exhibitions of mean revenge for acts of huma nity—the dismissal of Sir Robert Baler and Sir Robert Wilson.

The farmers were pre vented sending the usual supplies to market, by their requisite attention to the harvest, and these Harpies availing themselves of this fa ?t, caused so fictitious a rise in the price, as had nearly reached the rate that would have opened the ports fur importation, and thereby have produced a lasting evil to the already oppressed and sufF•ring farmer. Their attempts have, however, been defeated, and we ardently hope that by having continued their speculations a little too long, they may be forced to disgorge their ill gotten wealth. One man is said to have cleared 40,0001. by the late advances. The Paris papers of Wednesday, which have just arrived, give some extracts from the (12rman papers papers of a warlike tendency. The following is an extract of a private letter from Pruth, Aug. 13 : " The die is cast,—we are prepared to march, — every thing indicates a comprehensive plan of ope rations ; we arc told that Emperors in di guise are to direct the movements of the Turks ; we shall in consequence have a more systematic iresistance.— Rage, and a spirit of revenge animate our troops,— they can scarcely be restrained ;—all we wish is to be in the advance ; the first attack will be terrible.— The heat of the weather decreases, the nights be come cooler. which will greatly expedite our march. PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF OF LORDS, SEPT.Qn At two o'clock the Earls of limo . vo - by. IVestmorland, and Shaftesbury took their seats as his Nlajesty'.i Commissioners for further proroguing Parliament. The Deputy Usher of the hack Rod was sent to require the attendance of the Commons.--Shortly afterwards Mt. Rickman. and sonic of the officers of the (louse, came to the bar. The Commission was then read for further proroguing Parliament, and the Earl of ilarrowby declared the Parliament to be further prorogued accordingly to Thursday the t9ils day of November. Extract of a letter from a traveller,dated Douglas, Isle of Man, Sept. 15:—" In crossing from Liver pool to this place, on Tuesday last, during a heavy gale of wind, I saw a large outward-bound vessel founder at sea, and lament to ssy that all hands r..,:- rished. Every endeavour was made on our part to afford the unfiirtunate sufferers assistance, but the sea ran mountains higit, and all proved ineffectual. Hcr name is unknown. We have hail very boisterous weather here, and fear much dannige has been felt amongst the shipping." The will of the late Marquis of Londonderry was proved in the Prerogative Court of Dublin on the 422 d ult. There being ro executor appointed, letters of administration, with the will annexed, were granted to the present Marquis, as universal legatee A similar grant issued under the seal of the Prep). gative-ollice in Doctor's-commons ; the person:ll property within the province of Canterbury being sworn under 6,0001. The will is nearly to the fol lowing effect:— ` flaying some time ago, in conjunction with my two sons, settled all my landed estates in the male considered the most idviseable, 1 have nothing but chattel interest to dispose of, tha whole of which I leave to my dear son Castlereagh, having full confidence in his head and heart that no exertion or atfectiona'c endeavour will be omitted by him that can any way contribute, in aaldition to her jointure, to the accommodation and contort of my disconsolate and unhappy widow. I also recommend t 9 hie attention and care any worthy individuals who have been in my service, and whose fidelity deserves my protection ; and that he will do such acts of liberality and charity in my name, as he may deem necessary and proper. I have nothing more to add, but that I may he privately interred' When tin: spirit has quitted its mortal abode, all worldly parade and ostentation should cease."—Dated the 26th Jan. Mb). By adviees from Montreal of the 18th of August; there had been a dreadful fire at that place: the loss is estimated at 25,0001. The following stores were burnt, :—Messrs. Allison, Turner and Co. ; Messrs. John Scott and Spittul; and Mr. Pedders: that of Messrs. Gerrard and Sons was in imminent danger, but was saved. When the death of Buonaparte was made known in France, all the Buonapartists immediately put on black silk neckerchiefs, as a signal of their regret, and a mark of respect for his memory. The Eng lish who were in Paris at the time, not knowing the cause, imagined the wearing of their sable neckerchiefs, or silk bands, was a Pari+ian which they immediately imported into this country. and as such it hus been copied, and is now become quite common. Major Roger, the steward of the Margavine of Anspach, has, taken possession of Brandenburgh house since the 24th of lust month. The servants, amounting to 12 in number, with Mr. Hieronymus, are, by the Major's permission, allowed to remain till some further mat:gement shall be made in re• spect to theta. NI SIR ROBERT WILSON. The following relation is given by the partizans of Ministers, in justification of the dismissal of the above officer: On the day of the Queen's funeral, at the time the procession was approaching Cumberland-gate, and tiller the firing by the military at the people had commenced, Sir Robert Wilson rode up to Captain Oakes, then on duty near Cumberland-gate, and remonstrated with him on the conduct of the soldiers under his command, which he said was disgraceful to the regiment, and injurious to the character of the service.' Captain Oakes replied, ' Sir Robert Wilson, I know you perfectly well, but I shall enter into nu discussion with you on this I , tnt at present. I shall do my duty, and my men will do theirs.' — Nothing further pasied on that occasion. On the following day Captain Oakes submitted the occur rence to the other officers of the regiment, in order to obtain their opinion on the mune which it became him, as a man of honour, to pursue on the subject. —lk was willing to regard the affair as one of a per.4enal nature, solely aacting himself, and only required their sanction to take immediately the pro per measures to obtain reparation. The other officers of the regiment, however, refused to allow a trails action which they considered to imply a general • reflection on the regiment to be adjusted on the • terms of a private diKrence, and would not consent that Capt. Oakes should take the atEtir upon himself in the manner proposed. A statement of what oc curred at Cumberland-gate between Sir R Wilson and Cept. Oakes was in consequence drawn up, and transmitted to the Duke of York. His Royal flightless, on receiving it, caused a private inquiry into the correctness of the facts to be instituted, and having found them established to his satisfaction, he referred the whole athir to the King, who in consequence caused his royal pleasure to be declared, that Sir Robert Wilson should be dismissed the service." We see nothing. to justify so harsh a measure if the above were true—we karlessly, however, assert that the fidlowing is a far truer statement of what really occurred:— “ The 14th of August was indeed a day fertile in topics of something more than regret ; since on account of the &IMO anxiety fiir the preservation of human life, culled forth from two honest hearts by its outrageous proceedings, the country has in curred the double loss of u benevolent magistrate, and a gallant and skilful soldier. Sir Itobert Wilson was riding with the other gentlemen who attended to pay the last tribute of respect to her late Majesty. When he heard the pistol shots he expressed a desire to go up to the spot, and ascertain the Cllll3e of them.— His friends would have detained him, from considering that his presence at such a scene might, like marry other innocent and well-meant acts, be liable to malicious construction. This, Sir Hubert Wison declared to be unworthy his regard, so long es there was a chance of saving one life, or dissuading the military from the smallest exercise of violence. lie therefore accosted the conanianding officer, simply asking him whether it was by his orders that the soldiers fired. The officer replied • No.' Sir It. then begged him • for' 4:oil's sake to interfere and prevent the elfusion of • blood."1' he firing did, as our informants have issmred us, cease almost immediately, raid by the interposition of lie officers." Those who consider the Perpetrators of the mas sacre at Manchester worthy of die thanks of the Sovereign, may well, properly and consistently, punish such officious interference as this. On Thursday u meeting was held by the Direc tors of the Bunk of England, for the purrose of declaring, a dividend, at which other matters were incidentally introduced. It eppwred from the statement of the Chairman, that the project of pro ducing an inimitable Bank Note,' after considerable expeneci had been incurred, has failed to realize the expectations of the promoters of the plan, but the Directors were determined to persevere in producing a note that would answer the public ex pectation. It was also stated, that the Bank were most anxious to give m,mallie currency, not only fur small notes, but notes of any amount, which would protect the community from the acts and frauds of iniquitous men: and it was also added, that the re sumption of cash payments had consideral4 reduced the number of forgeries. The Judges upon the present Circuits have noticed a prevailing practice of committing prisoners to gaol until the Quarter Sessions, although the Assizes may intervene before the Sessions. The Lord Chief Justice Abbott, at the recent Assizes at Shrewsbury, liberated Ilichanl HAil, with his wile and daughter, who had been so committed tor want of bail ; null at Stallbrd, Mr. Baron Garruw, in his Address to the Jury, said that he unserved there were six lessons in that Calendar reosaining to take their trials at the castling Sossiea , , accordiag to their commitments. Many Gentlemen among the Grand Jun• most know that this was irregular The Judges upon the Circuit went bound to deliver the gaols of every prisoner ; and a Learned Judge lately presiding ill another county, had found it his duty to di4eharge it number who had been similarly committed. lithe prosecu.ors did not attend terse the Court closed, the present six prisoners would be liberated. The Earl of Dublin, which we are told is adopt ed by the King for his travelling to!e Oa the Con tinent, was one of the tides of Ina lase H J y u l litalt uess the Duke of Kent. J ,
