Cotamerree on AGRICULTUR E.—On Monday last this committee assembled at one u'elock, Mr. Gooch taking the chair. There were then ten members present; several other members afterwards arrived. Lord Castlereagh was seated next to the chairman. '1 hey immediately treiceeded to determine the course that should be pursued • en promoting those iuquities committed to their charge by the House of Commons. After various snggestions and some discussion, it was resolved that they should hear evidence, that the pat ties might be prepared to adduce in support of the allegations of the petitions. This inquiry is to constitute the first branch of the committee's labours. When it was determined how the committee should direct the investigations,lhey inquired whether any persons were in attendance to support the kading prayer of the several petitions. Several of the owners and occupiers of laud, who had been insouniental in tot warding petitions to Parliament, were again in attendance. Mr. H. C. Harvey, of Norfolk, was called in. He underwent an extend. d examination, occupying the committee dining the whole of the remainder of their silting. His evidence went to illustrate the extent of 'eduction that had taken place in the farmer's profits, he alleging that it was front 20 to SO per cent.; and in support of his declarations, Le brought with him and laid beim e the committee his accounts amid books fur the last fourteen years. Several of the docu ments were handed in, and ordered to constitute part of this witness's evidence.—Adjourned. On Tueeday the committee continued Its sitting from •ne till four o'clock. It was more fully attended than MI the preceding day, all the members being present, with the exception of Lord Castlereagh and another. The committee resumed the first branch of the inquiry—to ascei lain the evidence in support of the alleged exteusive distress that affects agriculture. In furthetance of such object, William Halting, Esq. of Dillington, Somersetshit e (at present high sherd} fur that eunnq), and John Ellmati, jun. of Fide, near Lewes, Sussex, were examined. The delivery of their testimony, also implicit te d by returns of the expenditure and income of their farming concet its fot several years, occupied the committee during the whole of their sitting. The allegaiimi of the petitionels, which is now being examined by the committee, is thus set fat th tberuselves—'"lbat the contraction of the circulating mettfuni, sevetely as it may operate, does not arise, as many petholll who have lateen only a ►uperficial view of the subject suppose, from any de termination oil the part of government to take off the bank ri ict ions ; Litt flout an teems', positive, and bone fic'e dedv halm' in the gross colons of agrieult ut al produce, (dupes:lids of 70 millions of pounds per antenna t tut (they continue in the sunimaty ut ca►e handed to the niembets) whether the circulating medium consists of metal or paper, coin and cattle, or in other words, agricultural product —must first purchase the greatest pot tiou of such medium, before it can be put scirculatiust ; and if the above 2111111141 depreciation in the value of our agricultural productions has taken place, Ora has 70,01.0,00 ed. less of circulating medium, of what ever it may consist, metal or paper, been annually pur chased amid circulated in this kingdom, for the lust seven years, than was created, purchased, or circulated, before such depression took plate." The question is—Has such diminution taken place i—Many of the genii( men who have bee n utost active in fuming agricultural associations, and iu presenting petitions to both houses of parliament, were again in atletidatice.

John Harris was indicted for assaulting John Minton, on the King's highway, putting him in fear, and taking from his petsun 10s, in silver, at Hamm. on the 46th February last. It appeared in eviilenre, that the prosecutor, a poor journeyman tailors stopped at Barnet on his way to London, and went to a public-house to ask fora lodging far the night, it being then tell WOO( k. The prisoner, who was present, offered his services to take him to a place *bete he (mild be comfortably lodged. Ile immedintely accepted the pro posal and accompanied the prisoner, as he sinipused, to look fur a lodging. The prisoner was joined by another man, and both conducted the prosecutor into aGs Id, and vi it bout any previous intimation of their design, knocked him dun and I died his pockets: of all his nomey, In this deplorable condition the prosecutor MIMIC(' to the public house and gave the alarm, describing the ',einem. of the iirismar and his companion. /Vest day the prisoner *us apprehended, and the prosecutor swore positively to his identity. The prisoner denied having ever seen the prisoner heftier. How ever another witness confirmed the statement of the latter, and deposed, that he had seen him accompuoy the prisoner ludo the field. The case bent to the Jury under the Learned Judge's directions, and they found the prisoner Guilty—lleath.— The prosecutor, however, commended him to mere). None of the above•mentioned capital couvicts were left for execution. . _ Thomas Allen was indicted for a rape on the body of Arm Joyce, at Ittckmerswmth, on the 23d of September last.

The Chief 881011, limier these circumstances, charged the Jury to acquit the prisoner for want of evidence; aid the Jury accordingly found him Not Guilty ; however, his Lordship informed than, with great satisfaction, that had the case gone through, they would probably hose coni c to the same result. Ile had read the depositions taken before the magsst rate, and in his opinion. there was hardly sufficient if made out, to a arrant a capital conviction. He hoped, hoiiever, that the prisoner would do the girl that justice which her unhappy situation required..—Verdict, Not j Guiltyr CI% IL Slue.—The only case worth mentioning tins DEAN, qui tani,t).

Fouricesi received sentence of death, four of whom were left for execution, viz. two for murder, one for forgery, and one for a rape. The trial of Philip Haynes and Mary Chalk, for murder, exciti il a considerable degree of interest, and the court was crowded to excess a• early as eight o'clock iu the mor g. . . . The prisoner, Haynes, was indicted for the murder of Mr. J. Clark, a farmer of Charweltun, with whom he had formerly lived, by shooting him in his bard, whilst cutting some hay at a rick ; and the female prisoner was wile to the deceased, and inch led for hying accessary to the mur der.

Justice Best) had de livered his charge, which contained nothing of interest, 'llionnts Faro intone!, aged 57, late of Barnsley, weaver, was placed at the bar, charged with high treason, for having, (along with others, who were lately transported for the offence, amongst whom was his son) traitorously assembled together, iti arms, fur the purpose of levybig war, and with basing levied war against our Sovereign Lord, the now King, within this realm, and of compassing and imagining to depose the King, in order to compel him to change his measures, indictment was of great length, and consequently occupied the court a long time iii reading it. Upon being asked whether lie was guilty or not guilty, the prisoner, very much affected, and in a fatale , ing tone, replied," I conk is myself Ettilty, front my own feelings." He was asked if lie wished the plea of guilty to be re corded ? when lie said, he certainly did. Farrimond them iu teals, declined, that though lie had pleaded guiltyalyet lie never cor..dilted or conspired against the lifellihis Majesty, or the life of any other man in his life; that lie never wished or intended to rob any prison. It had been his misfortune, he said, to be secre tary to the Union Society; and it was well known that lie was connected with the Grange-moor meeting; but lie had the happiness to say lie never entered into any secret consultation, and could call God to witness that lie never conspired against the life of any man—against the laws of his country, or to rob his neighbour of the smallest thing; but lie being secretary to the society, they did many things in his name, which he was totally ignorant of. He then, in the most affecting terms, beseeched this learned judge to rich Himself in his behalf as much as was in his power, for the sake of his a de and poor family. His wife (added ie), according to what lie had heard on 'Thursday last, wall in a dying state—he had a son who was deprived of his reason, and also two poor children unbrought up.

The prisoner was 'hen asked if lie had any thing to say why judgment should not be passed upon biut to die, according to law, to which lie replied," No; I ant willing to submit to the law." . . After the co ier of the court bad commanded all persons to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while sentence of death was passing upon the prisoner at the bar, Mr. Justice Best addressed him at great length, and concluded by passing sentence upon him in the usual manner. The prisoner was then taken from the bar. ESSEX _ CHELMSFORD, M•RCHii.—ibe assizes for this county commenced here to-day, before the Lord Chief Huron Richards, who an iced yesterday.
