I understood Mr. Gurney to say, that he colitented to the Defendant beiug discharged and allowed to go free without day. Mr. IlEttna.—Mr. Gurney, do you consent, on f the part of the Appellant, that' the Defendant be die charged, and allowed to go free without day ? Mr. GuENST.-1 do, on the part of the Appellant, give such ronsent. Mr. READER.—Then 'I have only to pray the Court that he be so discharged. Mr. Justice BAYLEY.— According to the ordinary practice, he ought first to be arraigned on the writ of appeal at the'suit of the Crown, and he can then plead his former trial and acquittal in bar thereof, and be discharged. Lord ELLENBOROUGIL—That is the proper course. If the Attorney-General can be sent for, and *ill consent that the Defendant be now so arraigned, he may be immediately discharged. Ilere Mr. Gurney offered to call the Attorney- General, who was in the adjoining coffee.house ) and went out for that purpose. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.7—Mr. Reader, have . you the former verdict of acquittal in Court? Mr. HEADER (after some enquiry)-111 7 my Lnrd, we have no: ; but it shall be immediately sent for.

The Del , ndant was then arraigned accordingly by Mr. Bailors reading the indictment : at the conclu sion of which, Mr. READER, on the part of the De fendant, pleaded the former trial and acquittal. Lord ELLENBOttOUGH.—UnIess the Attorney• Ge net's! is pleased to admit that such trial and acquittal did take place, it becomes necessary that we award a rerliorr:ri to the Sheriff of Warwickshire, to have that verdict returned into Court. Mr. ATTORNEY•GENERAL.—I do admit the Ter dirt. Lord ELLENEOROUGH. The judgment of the Court then is, that the Defendant be discharged from this appeal, and do go free thereof without day. Mr. READER then desired that the tipstaves, in conducting Thornton from Court, would be pro vided with a sufficient force to protect him from in sult and injury.

LONDON: TOICSDAY, APRIL 21, ISIS Our statements yesterday regarding the course which the CHANCELLOR of the Excneousa would take in comnbanicating his Budget, were verified by the Right Honourable Gentleman's proceeding, last night. His speech, in submitting his Financial Plan for the year, and the observations made upon it in the House, are so copious and interesting, that, much as we feel -Inclined to remark further upon statements and circumstances so important, we most wait until another day for opportunity. We shall at present' merely observe, that the features of the new project for supplying the deficiencies of the Ex chequer, as thus developed under all the flattering colliers of the Financial Minister's representations, sufficiently account for the hesitation with which the proposed arrangements were received. Though the CHANCELLOR of the EICHF.QUER I in as pompous phrase es the acknowledged drawbacks at his heels would permit, congratulated the country on the wisdom and terms of his bargain for this disguised Loan, upon the mere terms of the purchase of which at the present moment it appears the Public have lost 600,0(101.; it met with but little approbation in the Reue l and the Nation will not be moss ready 1 1 :!' • t : ' . _ thi l feiititstrous hazarded opan s e a a t i e or Ith iffaire, and the expedients necessary for aver . log a more disagreeable state of things.

The additional burdens thus created to be carried to the Funded and Permanent Debt the Country by Perpetual Aehuities, granted at very ioadeq este price; and to keep op the cheat q I the misfortune the longer, the Interest of the Ni Debt to beincurred by the creation of the NI Stork and the expenditure; with ihat of the Ut•fue ed Debt which most be funded, are to be chart upon the Sinking Fond, which, if it had one go Akin in view, was instituted for the purpose of sniniviting the enormous debt already in eti once.
