THE NATIONAL REGISTER MAGISTRATES OF THS MACCLESFIELD —At a petty session held by the magistrates of this dis ti let, nn Monday last, a discussion took place as to the right of solicitors to examilie witnesses, or to appear beiore tile magistrates, in ally case dependitig before them. Some uwutus aito Edward Stracey, E.rl, pro• pus. d that an order should be made tor exclittling SoliCi lors (rain such practice, to wttielt proposal it is said that two magistrates acceded, and aii order was made and submitted for the emleurrelice and approbation of the justices. Sir Joint Stanley, Bart. and others, however, dissented from ii, and the order was never attempted to he enforced until Monday last. At that meeting a case of settlement came oil to be heard, between the town ships of 'ldling Fee and Mottratn, when, upon the smi emir lor (tie littler lOWltillip 111111111{ a question 10 a wil lies; oil a cross exammatioo. Jlr. Stracey d•rected the witness not to auswer ally question 1101 poi by We B.:11C11, and LAO that lie should not allow atiortie)s 10 :Melt' and uul questimis for any party in cases which cattle benne hint as justice. Sur illiiiiStanky said, he lor 011 e would not suoscribe to Illat doctrine; lie Was conviliced the practice was productive of much public advantage A conversation passed between SA* Julio Stanley anti Mr. Stracey, in which Mr. Stracey said he hul 'well insulted by a professional that it WAS lint 11.111:11 for attorneys to act as advocates at the other sessions in the Comity, dill lie would ilthiefe 10 the order he had signed : he adowed, however, emit the order only ap plied to those magistrates who had SlAiled 11. Sir Joint Stanley stipporied the practice UllOll the ground Gil ltd utility, and of its being continuo usage. Be did 111)1 con ceive that Mr. Stracey's having been insulted by a pro fessional gemleinan was a suificient ground fur making an order which went to the eXClUsluii tit the profession front a long estab.ished privilege, and to the deprivation of suitors of the advantage of legal isSitlatiCe. He wished it to be understood atid generally known, that thought Mr. Stracey should fortod it as to isiniself, solicitors should have hit (Sir John's) permission to anewl to cases which came before him. It would be a great hardship to the public if piolessional men were excluded, and parties were to be denied the benefit of their assist ance, in cases of charges made against individuals, or on trials of settlements, where the justice of a decision de pends often oil the cross-examination of witnesses. Some further ColiTersatiOn followed, but it was desultory, and the matter rests as it is for the present. Robert Bennet, who was convicted at the late Suffolk Assizes, of wilfully selling fire to the premises of Mr. Downing, of Meths, iu that county, on Saturday last. was exe cuted, pursuant to bis sentence, on Saturday last, at Ipswich.— The number of spectators was not so great as on former occa sions. Rennet was • strong powerful man six feet high ; be took leave of his family the Thursday before. A mistaken notion seems to have possessed him that the world would regard bib dying words as evidence of his iniso-once. He spent some time in prayer with the clergyman ; and after he ascended the scaffold continued in prayer to tinned' ; after which he ad dressed the people —" Gentlemen, I am as innocent of this as God in Heaveu—l was no nearer to the fire when it happened than my own yard." He then said to the persons on the scaf fold—" God bless you all and pray for sue." He was then launched into eternity. This dying assertion, when compared with his own declaration after bis examination before the ina gistretes, when he observed to Cayfor, " you know we did it, sad I shall be banged for it, and you ought to be hanged as well as I : and the strong circumstantial evidence on the trial, must confirm any one that this wretched man died without a proper sense of his situation, end that to the last he was obsti nately wicked. We sincerely hope that his fate will be a warning to deluded men, not to destroy property by such wilful and wicked acts. After hanging the usual time the body was cat down and delivered to his friends. The prosecutor, Downing, was recognised amongst the crowd, end was t'o violently as sailed by the populace. that but for the interference of the sneriff's &beers, L..- might have suffered serious injury. A shocking ocenerence took place at the house of Mr. Cuttill, merchant, of Lincoln, on Tuesday last, by which a highly esteemed servant lost his life, and a kind master end most worthy man is plunged into the deepest distress imaginable. About two o'clock in the utonsing, two female servants who bad got up to wash, bead some persons as they believed, attempt ing to get into the house ; they immediately alarmed Mr. Cuttill. and his servant man ; the young nun coming down stairs first, the women urged him to go and call his master again ; lie accordingly went up without a and met Mr. Cuttill, who had armed himself with a swrrd, coining nut of his rotas ; hearing somebody in the passage, Mr. Cuttill de manded who was there, and what they wanted t hut receiving no answer, and being fully impressed with a belief that thieves had got into the house, and that Isis own life might be at that instant be in jeopardy, be rushed upon him and wouuded bins in the body. The young loan died on Wednesday morning about four o'clock ; he was 21 years of age, and had lived vith Mr. Cuttill from his infancy • his father bad also been • great number of years in Mr. Cuttill's employment as a meter. lie could not account for nut being aide to 111116 Will his master when he demanded who was there; he said he tried to speak, but could not. It appeared he had lost his presence of ruled at the moment. It is impossible to describe the agony of mind Mr. Cuttill has been suffeving under since the fatal accident.

Lieut. Perry. Dr. Du Puy (a gentle man that came out with us), Midshipmen Robert Ma.ahall. John Creamer, Robert B. Coffin. Edward Preb4e,, R. Pinkham. and three men. lett here in our first cutter on a gunning party, to Kintera, a place 20 miles from here. Next morning Mr. Pinkham returnal by land with the melancholy news of the loss of the boat and all hands, except himself and one of the men. He relates that they got down there about three o'clock, and found a most tremendous surf breaking Iran the shore, and they did not like to tick it; but a midshipman to whom I had do scriued the place (having been there before in the same boat in a calm time) insistal upon going in, saving he knew the place; so • they depended upon him. As it was blowing very fresh right on slishe, they steered direct on, under short sail; a sea struck them and carried them along some distance; a second sea struck them. and onocked tiem broadside on, and rolled her bottom upwards. As they were all good swimmers but two, they all got hold of the boat except orte of the men that could not swim : lie laid bold of alarshall's coat, and it is supposed they went down together. Cretrwr, t'reble, Du Puy. and the other seaman, whose name was Reed, after sti ugghng • long time, sunk alongside of the boat. Tile rest tried tor tae shore. Perry, Pinkham, sad Coffin went together a great way ; but as Coffin, who was very small, could not swim well in the surf, Mr. Perry Mope to assist him, and they were bout lost together. Pinkham, who swam on, finding lie could nut be of any as.istanee to them, got on shores but was twice carried off by the return of the sea.3oo yards. and then thrown up again. At length he got a foot-hold in the sand, and when the water left him, he ran and got clear of it. The name of the man saved was lit'Daniels ; he got upon the bottom of the bout, and held on to Du Puy to assist him ; but a sea struck hint, and washed him off. As he found that the boat did not drift in any more, he swain from the shore, but was carried oil tour times, and was then so weak that he could scarcely stand. Mr. Pinkham, who was on shore, waded out as far as be could, and held out an oar to him, which he laid hohl'of, and was dragged to the land. As soon as they had landed, the Spaniards maue Pinkliani exchange pantaloons with them. The seamen, who hod lost his shoes, and every thing else, four,l a great coat that had drifted ashore, but had a quarrel wi:h one of them to get that. Towards evening he saw some of them sharpening . their knives on a stone, and as he was alone (Pinkham having set oft* for the ship ottliait, without shoes, and scarcely any clothes). it alarmed him very much. He made the best of his inty into the country, where he concealed himself . About midnight be left his hole on his way to the ship. When he got a chart distance he stopped in a sable, and spent the night. Pinkbain walked to Coocon, about 12 males, where an Lnglishman lent him clothes. and got him a tna. He got to the ship next morning, having travelled 40 miles-12 of them on foot. There are a great many who narrow) , escaped going on the party; they a.ked nie. but I refusal. Many otners intended going, but were prevented by sonic trifling circumstance or other, such as the want of powder and shot. 'There are some Englishmen living near there, who say that the wile I landed we had a narrow esrape,as there never was such a thing known before. An English boat, with eight men, attempted to/land wine time ago, but were all lost. Mra. Stewart is very much affected, and the Commodore also; he stied tears. and apeeared to feel it sensibly. lle said if they had been killed in the defence of their country, it would not have been to bad ; but to be lost on so trifling an occasion he thought was dreadful. Mrs. Stewart went on shore last evening for a abort time. She was dressed in mourning, and showed great sorrow ; indeed it is sufficient to make any person feel so-I have scarcely seen a smile since. There were two of my inemmates its tae number, and they were all uncommonly fine officers, cer tainly amongst the mane s ' o n bo a rd, and were universally be lovas. As soon as the Commodore heard of the accident, he got a whale boat, and sent a lieutenant and doctor down, to see what could be none, mind if any thing could be saved, but they returned without the least article. Several of the officers volunteered to go and look tor the bodies, and the Governer sant a guard to:take care of any thing that might come on shore. Yesterday we hoisted our colours half mast, and every vessel in the harbour tint the same, melaling an English frigate and all the Chilean squadron." ---- ltesseßy ST A SERVANT.--Charles Robinson, the young lad whose case we stated sonic time azo, as h ring hero charged with robbing Mr. Laurie, the mapseller, in Fleet -street, with whom he lived as servant, and who Wig discharged for want of evidence, has been again , taken tip, and the charge brought home to him, under the lodowmg circumstances :—E irly on To sday morn- MA, two chimney sweepers, a man and a Isoy, called at Mr. Lmote' s , sayin g they cattle from Mr. B own, of Waterdarte, to sweep the kitchen chimney.
