TIE: IA TIONAL ,REGISTER MAOISTRATIS OF Tin MACCLIPTIELD DIVISION. —At a petty session held by the magistrates of this dis. nice, on Monday last, a discussion took place as to the right of solicitors to examine witnesses, or to appear before the magistrates, in any case depending berme them. Sonic mouths ago Edward Stracey, Esq. pro posed that an order should be made for excluding wliei• toss from such practice, to which proposal it is said that two magistrates acceded, and an order was made and submitted fm the concurrence and approbation of the justices. Sir John Stanley, But. and other►, however, 'haunted Irons it, and the order was never attempted to be enforced until Monday last. At that meeting a cane of weltle.striat came on to be heard, between the town ships of Bolling Fee and Mottram, when, upon the soli. eine for the (littler township p g a question to a wit ness opt a cross-exa 000000 anon, Mr. Stracey directed the winless not to answer any gumption not put by the Bench, and said that he should 1101 allow attorneys to attend and pot quest for Joy party in cases whicts cause before him as justice. Sr JOllll Stanley said, he for one would lint subscribe u, iiiat doctrine; be was convinced the practice was productive of much public ailvatita4e A conversation passed between Sir John Stanley and Mr. Stracey, in which Mr. Stracey said he had been insulted by a professional man—contended that it was not usual fur attorneys to act as advocates at the other sessions in wr county, and tie would adhere to the order he had signed : he alnwerl, however, that the order only ap plied to those inditistrites who had signed it. Sir John Stanley supported the practice upon the ground of its utility, and of its being cram usage. He did nut con ceive that Mr. Stracey's leaving been insulted by • a pro fessional optitiletuatt was a sufficient ground for making an order which went to the exclusion of the professims it a Inapt estab !shed privilege, and to the deprivation of suitors. of the advantage of legal assistance. Ile oished it to be neoletsiood and generally known, that though Mr. Stracey should foraid it as to should have his (Sir Jolitee) permission to allelld ill Cases whub came before hon. It would tic a great hardship to the public if professional men were excluded, and parties were to be denied she benefit of their assist ance, in cases of charges made °pilot individuals, or oil trials of settlements, where the justice of a decision de pends often on the cross-examination of witnesses. Some further conversation followed, but it was desultory, and the matter rests as it is for the present. Robert Bentia, who was convicted at the late Suffolk Assiut', of wilfully setting fire to the premises of Mr. Downing, of Malts, in that county, on Saturday last, was sae • toted. p I to his sentence, on Saturday last, at Ipswich.— The number of speotators was not so great as on former coca sinus. Bennet was a strong powerful unn tie feet high ; be took leave of his family the Thursday before. A mistaken notion seems to have possessed him that the wprld would regard bis dying words as evidence of his innocence. He spent some time in prayer with the clergyman ; and after be ascended the scaffold continued in prayer to himself; after which be ad dressed the people—" Gentlemen, I am as innocent of this as God in Heaven—l was no nearer to the fire when it happened than my men yard." He then said to the persons on the scaf fold—" God bless you all and pray for me." He was then launched into eternity. This dviwg assertion, when compared with his own declaration after bill ettanduaiion before the ma gistrates, when lie observed to Gaythr, •' you know we did it, sad I shall be hanged for it, and you might to he banged 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. and that to the last he was obsti uately wicked. We sincerely hope that in. 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 cut down aed delivered to his friends. The prosecutor, Downing. was recognised amongst the crowd, and was so violently as sailed by the populace, that but for the interference of the sheriff's officers, he might have sobered serious injury. • A shocking occurrence took place at the house of Mr. Cahi ll, merchant, of Lincoln, on Tuesday last, by which a highly esteemed servant lost his life, and • kind master and most worthy man is plunged into the deepest distress imaginable. About two o'clock in the morning, two female servants who bad got up to wash, heard some persons as they believed, attempt ing to get into the house; they immediately shinned Mr. Cuttill, and his servant man; the young man coming down stairs first, the women erged him to go Red call bis master again ; be accordingly went op 'salient a light, and met Mr. Cuttill, who had armed himself with a sword, coming. oat of his room ; hearing somebody ie the passage, Mr. Cuttill de weeded who was there, and whet they wanted? bat receiving so answer, and being filly impressed with * belief that thieves bad get into the house, sad that bis owe life might be at that instant be in jeopardy, he wished epos hies meal wounded him in the body. The young man died es Wednesday ironing about four O'clock ; he was 111 years of age, mad had lived with Mr. Coital from his infancy ; his father had also been a great number of years in Mr. Cattill's employment as a meter. He could out account for not being able to answer his muter when he demanded who was there; be said be tried to speak, but could nut. It &Neared be hail lost his presence of mind at the moment. It is impossible to describe the agony of mind Mr. Cuttill has been suffering under since the fatal accident. 11 ict.man, the gas-light tread , gut a ss.vere titiorrr tau his return (ruin the fight cm Tuesday.

Pinknam. who was on shore, waded out as fa as he could. and held out an oar to him. whit!) he laid hold of, and was dragged to the land. As soon as they heel landed, the Spanianls made Pinkliam exchange pantaloons with them. The seaman. who had lost his shoes. and every thing else, found a great coat that bad dinged ashore, but had a quarrel wi h one of than to get that. Towards/ evening he saw some of them sharpening their knives on a stone, and as he was alone (Pinkham having set offlor the aoip on foot, without shoes, and scarcely any clothes). it alarmed Limos very much. He made the best of his way into the country, where he concealed him All. About midnight he left his hose on his way to the ship. When begot a short distance he stopped in a sable, and spent the night. Pinkliam walked to Canon about 12 mies, where an Englishman lent him clothes. and got him a horse. He got to the ship next mornings having traveled W miles--1.2 of them on fbot. There are a gran many who narrowly escaped going on the party; they asked me. but refused. Many milers intended going. but were prevented by some trifling circumstance or other. such as the want or powder and shot.

There were two of my meanie:es in the number. and they were all uncommonly fine °Kora. cer tainly amongst the smiting on board, and were universally boa loved. As soon as the Comm inure heard of the accident, he got a whale boat, and sent a lieutenant an'l doctor down, to see what could be done, and 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 Governor ant a guard to take cue of any thing that might come on shore.
