A crime has been committed in Spain, for which history scarcely gives a precedent. Freyre, the corn manding officer of the troops in Cadiz, summoned the inhabitants of that town to meet on the morning of the ttith ult., to swear to the Constitution, and to join in erecting a pillar in honour of it. They met, but the treacherous soldiery, in cold-blooded villainy, commenced a regular fire of musketry on the defenceless unoffending people, without even the excuse that was urged in a recent instance in Eng- • land, that danger was apprehended, for these Spa niards had met by the desire of the authorities, when the wretches who had invited them, for a professed purpose of amity and patriotism, availed themselves of the opportunity fur a general butchery. The day of St. Bartholomew, to the disgrace of the King of France, most nearly rivals the bloody deed of the soldiers of the beloved Ferdinand. We give to-day all the particulars we have begin able to col lect. It will be seen that the brave Patriots medi tate revenge—we hope it will be signal—we trust it will be to satiety. Their moderation was a pledge of their courage in achieving the revolution ; but if they allowed the inhabitants of Cadiz to remain without a sacrifice to their manes, they would incur a charge of pusilanimity which but ill accords with the feelings by which we believe them to be actu ated. Every arrival from Spain, bears increasing proofs of the infamy of the massacre at Cadiz. It ap pears now, that it was not the effect of momentary madness, produced by intoxication, but a preme ditated and digested plan. It is well known, that the lower classes bear about them constantly long knives as weapons of defence; these they had been desired to desist from carrying. The artillery had been taken possession of; and in short every thing connected with the affair, bears witness to the cruel ability with which the arrangements had been made. The Ministerialists have published u statement of the last quarter's revenue, which we copy, and by reference to it, it will be seen that our Custom duties which are derived from profitable foreign inter course have decreased, while the General Election has increased the Excise by adding to the consump tion of wines awl spirits ; if' however the statement be correct, which we much doubt, that an increase has taken place altogether, Ministers can have no excuse for renewing the Property Tax, an inquisi torial measure which is anticipated by all the hest informed persons in the political circles. A change of Ministers it is said will certainly take place befin'e the meeting at' Parliament ; the Opposition, we believe have rcfa.4ed to come into power without a plelge of' sup:Ritt to the measure of efficient thought moderate Itetimn.

Sir William Curfis's relara.—A dinner took place on Thursday, at the London Tavern, to ce lebrate the return of Sir William Curtis, to Parlia ment. If riches confer respectability, it was re spectable, and considering the piirpos,.! of the meet ing, it was clutracterixlically stupid, The b!ubb:2r headed 13.ironct, in returning thanks to the coat pally for drinking his health—declared, that the City had " now three respectable representatives instead of one. ! !!" His Yatch-experience has taught him, that a night-telescope inverts all the objects it slims, and his distorted political views appear to have a similar effect. ‘Ve state with regret that an attempt was recently made to burn down the College of Hereford. The fire was providentially discovered before it had ac quired much strength, and was promptly extinguish ed. Rewards are offered for the conviction of the vile incendiary. We mentioned some weeks ago the repeated exa minations and final committal for trial of a man of fashion, for forgery of three bills each, of the value of 6,0001. From motives of delicacy the name was then concealed, but as he has been allowed to escape a continuance of that delicacy would be injustice— his name is John Henry Davis—his family is most respectable—he himself was formerly a Captain in the Life Guards, and is at the present moment Lieutenant of Yeomen of the King's Guard. The laws are said to be the same for rich as poor, but we much doubt whether, if Mr. Davis had been a poor man confined tir a capital crime, wliich is rarely if ever pardoned, he would have been allowed his Cowl: de partir. Thursday, at :Marlborough Street Office, Mr. Mainwariug, late Magistrate of Woreltip Street police Mike, took his seat as Magistrate, in the room of Mr. Baker, now Chief Magistrate of Bow Street. WARWICK, APR' I. 4.-1 n conseque n ce of Mr. Justice Best's indsrlosition, the whole of Monday was employi/d it; the trial before Mr. Clarke of Clown cases possessors no general interest. foe defendants in Cartwri c till'S Case applied yesterday to the Judge, expressing their re..4l.er at the Cause of his absence, bat rerpiestine, as teey were living at a great expense, to be informed ay lien this ease would probably he beard. lii aris%ver to this Mr. Justice Best's son waited upon them, and stated that it was at that liniment impossible to mention any bate precisely, but that his fattier was very desirous that no delay should take place. Ile added, we understand, that the physicians had advised his father not to gu into Court this day. Mr. Clarke sits in the C:own Court, and Mr. Ser jeant Vaughan at SiNi Priers, this day—at least a 3 lam at this moment apprized. Dr. Purr is here, arts:lotus to be tresent at the trial ; he is a personal friend of Cartwright, but. has no Ishii ' cipation in his pots-airs. Tee 1)ocior is at present very . infirm, from a severe cold hi his hands. Mr. De 1111 l all, I understand, cannot prevail on the defendants to adopt any prescribed or regular course o; defence, and I think ...here is reason to expect a good deal of variety. kk'Attwicx..Puteaday Evening —rie trial of Messrs. Cart%vright, ‘N'ooler, ate. I a.is been positively put oil to the next Assizes for this county. This determination, was the result of repeated cominunica*ions between Mr. Best and the defendants in this ease. The defendants. finding that their case was not likely to be brought on in any convenient tante, made a communication to the Learned J tatl;e, in winch they represented the heavy expellee they were pot to by the delay, and expressed a desire that his Lirdshin would naive a day, when the trial iiii2att be proceeded with. In eonseyirlice of this "incitation, Mr Best, son of Mr. Just cc Be-t waited on the defendants on Monday, but wattling decisb c was arrang!ed at this interview. This morning Mr. Justice li..st communicated to the dei . entlatilS, by one of their Counsel, that he felt himself so indisposed as to appr C ut:lid that he could not wish safety to hillisell, or won a due attelliiiin to Lao administration of his oilier, under take, during the present Assizes, a proceeding which winch eras likely to require su -la anxious conside ration, as well as fatigue of body.

On the night of the 14th of June, 1814, Mr. W. Flower of Chew Magna, whilst upon his return home from Bristol Market, was murdered ou l)nudry Hill. It is reported that a prisoner, now iu Fisher ton gaol, charged with lik;hway rubbery, has con fessed the horrid crime. 171 Dttnnv-LAsze .-0a Saturday night Ariaserxey was performed fir the second time, and the cast was highly creditable to the talent of the company, though the Mal:done of Miss Carew is by no weans her happiest effort. 13raham in Arliaces, and lucl - don in Ariabanes, arc too well known to need con:- mina or praise; it is sufficient to say, they left us nothing to wish. Of the Artaxerxes of Madame Vestris, we can most truly say we never, in a long theatrical experience, saw it so well played, nor the songs and recitative so well given; the latter espe cially, an excellence she owes to a professional residence in Italy.—Aller this musical treat, an entertainment was produtA, tinder the title of Harlequin versus Shakcspear. It will not live, and therethre we let it pass, observing, that with all the powers of l)owton, Munden, Knight, Madame Ves tris, awl NJ iss Paves', united to the greatest profusion in the machinery and scenery, we never saw such waste of ability and, expellee. The sense of the audience was shown during the early part, but at the conclusion it was decided. Russell (as Manager) came terward, and after obtaining silence said,— " Ladies and Gentlemen—l thine. I may venture to assert, that the management of this theatre during the present season has proved its anxiety to bow to your decision; but as several parts of the entertainment of this evening were ho noured by your applause, I respectfully , entreat to be allowed to announce it for repetition, with considerable alterations, on Monday night." This appeal added to the " contents,' but anxious fin the welfare of this Theatre, we fear it will be the last of it. As a means of putting the audience out of temper before hand, they are on that evening to be bored with " Wild Outs," and reminded by Mr • Elliston what his Rover was twenty years ago.— In friendship to him we say that he is sacrificing his interest on the shrine of his vanity. On Aloni!ay scienight, live of the seven unforturille • 'nett, who were coii%ieted tor the murder of Samuel I)inican, were executed al 1).)x - Filiai rick., pursuant to their sentence, in the Inilowin 4 ordcr:—At one ticlocii, Joini lianratty, !high Join:Aim, and Ft I:x were brought mit int the platiOrm, in the front of the gaol, and, :titer addressing :1 few words iodic assembled intittitude, in which they streititonsly asserted 111.'4 tiocence of the murder, itatine, that the person who had given the fatal blow was out of the country, they were launched into eternity,. and tuct their late with great firmness. After hanging the usual time, their 1 bodies were cut down, and Hug') l'oett and Francis 1),)yle were brought out, and sitliered with sittillar los. tit ude, and made the sank declarations ol• innocence 14 the former. They were ancticled in their last moments by a CatilONC Clergytu.m, whose nave we were unable to learn. Ilashel and JOllll Allude': were respited, and it is supposed will he tranpurted Inr life.
