Pub- unpisies SKIM to be rather on the decline, with regard to the stability of the price, which has been iatttrl so very stationary. Consols opened yesterday y morn ing at 6n for the account, and owing to some heart sales for money at fl7l, the price declined in proportion, and ultimately closed at 671. This mining another scene of-eonfusiun ensued t. t h e mar k e t opened pretty still' at 67e a but some im mense sa les sod the eagerness of the parties to get nut cauted Consols to fall to 6tii fur the account. There a ppears to be no other reason than t hese sales for the 614 though yesterday some idle reports were afloat, that are not worth mentioning. Ormium has been done at 3i discount, and there being a payment to day has occasioned money to be rather scarce. The price of Consols is now about 1;4 I.r the account, the market looking rot quite so heavy a, it has been. Extract of a letter (ruin Paris, dated Sept. 12 " At length the post from Bayonne is arrived, which brin;s me the continuation of the Revolution in Por tutal, similar to that of Spain and Naples. My letter from Madrid of the ath ins:., and others from Badajos, state, that it was reported, things did not go on so smo,thly at Lisbon as was expected ; much to the con trary ; a deal of blood has been shed in that Capital. The number of slain and wounded are com;teed at eighteen hundred. The English have been severely treated, and have lost a number of men, as they resisted the Authorities, and retreated into the forts, which, after some resistance, they were obliged to evacuate and get into Fort St. Julian ; at length, those who saved their lives got on board shipping, and pro r•eded to tiibraltar. Funds, 73 f. 90 c." Yesterday presented, in various parts of the metropo lis, other striking instances of the intense and general interest which is felt by its inhabitants in favour of the *wt. Sesid-e the meeting of the Ward of Parring don-without, the proceedings of which we, in the even in;.:, gave a report of the commencement, there was a meeting of the Ward of Cripplegate-witliont, and a meeting of the inhabitant householders of the opulent and populous parish of Paddington. All these meet ings were as much distinguished for their manly senti- meat and spirit, as for their respectability and numbers; and such was the animation of the parishioners of Pad dington, that the chime+ in which the meeting was ap pointed to be hell could not contain the multitude that was collected on the occasion, and an adjournment, from necessity, took place to Paddingtou-green. There, as the necessity had been anticipated, a hustings was erected fur the use of the gentlemen who regulated the meeting, and an extensive range of seats for the acco nridation of the ladies ; and upwards of eight thonzaull of the inhabitants assembled, and entered with enthu siasm into the business of the day. Consistent with the sore and envious spirit, that has laboured to detract from the weight and importance of those popular meetings which had previously assent h:ed for a similar purpose, it is highly probable the endeavour will be renewed to diminish the impression which these recent assemblages are calculated to produce. •• Destroy thr fits and sophiatry,—in vain— " 111 matt re's at its dirt) work again." It were an endless task to expose the ineffectual and absurd attempts that are daily made by the Ministerial press to decry the feeling , which has been raised throughout the nation by the proceedings against the QUIIEN. There is scarcely any they make that does not re-act upon themselves, either by betraying their dr:eptione, or invalnlng them in their confessions. The Gorier, the other night, to throw discredit upon the inhabitants of the parish of Kimptun, who had trassmitted an Address to her 3IAJFIITT, represents the popalation of that place as consisting of four princi pal farmers, the citrate and his father, (an independent gentleman,) a carpenter, a blacksmith, three little shop keepers, and the remainder, •people of the labouring class, rho, with the eaception of four or five, derive their attpport from the parish poor -Goy." What a pic ture of an English parish ! According to this classifica tion, made out for the purpose of exposing them to contenspk the great body of the Inhabitants of the place, whist exception of sixteen individuals, are dependent on thntlenussynary contributions of a small minority ! A berane, or refiecting mind would have thiaght that web a representation would have pro duced some other feeling this contempt. It sight have naturally led to ask, how each a strange and inequitable state of distribution the goods ollits hod come to happen in this miserable village of Elapsed ? It might have inquired whether the effect was re duced by local causes, or the operation of the getters! system ; and if it were found, u It Immediately would be, in case the inquiry were pursued, that the case of Kitnpton was by no means singular, and that many, If not most, of the country parishes of England were in the same condition, it would not have given ground for wonder, that the inhabitants of such a parish should have given vent to their feelings in the tone and manner which are the subjects of the Coulee's animadversion. Is it wonderful that those in adverse circumstances should feel for the distressed, that those who have constantly so much occasion to bewail their own grievances, should have an ear open to listen to the persecutions of another? The rank in which her lIAJZiTT is placed, renders her condition the more con spicuous and touching; and the circumstances by which she is affected, " come home to every man's business and bosom." On this account it is, that so much sympathy in her behalf pervades every class in the country ; and if the men of Eng land could have possibly been backward in tea• tifying their sentiments on the occasion, they would have been chanted and urged by the feelings of the women. The aggrieved of every rank, and the females universally, wherever they are unrestrained by rank, feel the cause of the QUERN to be their own. What the ladies of Edinburgh express in their Address to her Mansry is the common senttment of the sex ; and it is as right and proper in its principle as it is exten sive in its operation. " The principles and doctrines," say they, " now advanced by your accusers do not apply to your case alone, but, if made part of the law of this land, may hereafter be applied as a precedent by every careless and dissipated husband to rid him self of his wife, however good and innocent she may he : and ta render his family, however amiable, ilk. gitimate ; thereby destroying the sacred bond of ma trimony, and rendering all domestic felicity very un certain. Such being the consequences of these princi ples and doctrines, your MAJLIITT'S case becomes a common cause with all the females in this kingdom, whose utmost efforts ouOit therefore to be lawfully earnsttl, to prevent innocence front suffering under the power and influence of servile and interested persons." That peculiar pains should have been taken by the enemies of the Qt - ters, to restrain the expression of the feelings of her own sex in her 31.t.ms IT'S behalf, is not at all to be surprised at: the influence of females is usual extensive and formidable ; and mast require snore power than her MAJUTT ' S adversaries ever can attain to counteract. The procession of the gallant tars, on Wednesday, was attempted to he ridiculed. It was but " the procession of some hundred sailors!" Call you that nothing .11,. Post f *' Call you that nothing," asked the ill-advised KING Jassss, when his courtiers told him it was but the cheers of the soldiers at the liberation of the Bishops, that sounded in his ears. The number of seamen in the procession, says the .Uosiiiit i r Post, were several handset!. Instead of hunched let its readers know it should have inserted doe:said. It is accurate only in relating that " the men wore white cockades in their hats," and this intel ligence it comumnieates for the purpose of expressing its surprise " where the money came from to purchase so nsany yards of ribbon." "We wonder where the money came from !" From the QUEEN it could not. The large provision offered, of 50,000/. a year, she had indignantly refused. The 10,0001. that had been ap plied for to defray the charge of her defence, we know nut, even now, that her agents have received. Where then can be the funds out of which, this sapient prin inquires, the expense attendant on these popular move ments have been supplied ? Where ? Why in the generous bosom of every genuine Englishman, In the sympathy of every unsophisticated heart, in the gal lantry of every noble mind. To the venal and the mercenary, this again may be matter of wonder ; het ignorant as they may affect, or may really happen to be, this is actually matter of fact. It is this, that has, and it is nothing bat this that could have roused and animated the entire body of the people. It is this that met her IllsJerrir on her arrival at Dover, that has ac companied her in every stage of the proceedings against her, that attends her at the pretest awful crisis of her fate, and that will not desert her in her utmost need. To the credit of the national character this feeling has been frequently conspicuous in the English annals ; and how can it be wanting, when demanded in behalf of a defenceless, injured woman, and a persecuted WEIN ? As we consider that *very day brings her llaavivir nearer to her acquittal, we scarcely thought it neces sary to load our columns with a repetition of the dis gusting evidence which has been brought against her ; although the repetition would be merely for the purpose of refuting it, such a refutation is perfectly unnecessary ; for the respectable portion of the Public have already marked the evidence with their disbelief ; and we consider the approaching resumption of the proceedings, under the conduct of her MAJMITT . 6 able Counsel, as nothing more than a formal act, somewhat similar to the recording a verdict of Not Guilty, in the ordinary Courts of Justice. Addresses to the QUINN fro♦ all parts of the country continue to be amiss' up to her, and those Journalists who have been so injudicious ns to take part with AM. her prommutori, ate now reduced to the Mad pitiable noisy at these Addresses. 'They call until that it is shansefld & prejudge a legal inquiry, and they attempt to ridicule the Addresses. These men either have forgotten, or they are ignorant, that every one of these Addresses is perfectly consistent with the law ; that the laws of England not only suppose, but even insist on the innocence of every accused, until that accused be convicted ; that although all the mem bers of the Cabinet had been witnesses on this trial, and had sworn that they had, with their own eyes, seen all that the witnesses have deposed, still we, and all other Journalists, and every man in the king dom, would have a right, by law, to say, and write, and publish, that " the Qintex is inno cent." Such idle complaint, therefore, as that of the writers we have mentioned, is indeed scarcely worth noticing. With respect to the ridicule attempted to be cast upon the persons who have car. tied up these Addresses, we (who yield in loyalty to no one of the Ktive's subjects) can only say " would to " Clop that such Addresses had been carried up to his " MsJesrv, on his accession to the Throne!" The rause of the want of such Addresses, is the conduct of those men who have abused the name, as well as the ear of their Royal Master, and who hare thereby caused a lukewarmness towards the Sol' FRZIUN, which is contrary to the general feelings of the People. One of these pretended friends of the KING loudly vaunted in Parliament, that " his MAJESTY desired nothing " hut that justice should be administered in the course "of these proceedings." Of course his MAJE , TY has no other desire, he would betray his People if he had, and that man pays but an ill compliment to his SO• YEREIGN, who tells the Peers " that his MAJEsTY " dues not wish to betray his People." When ever a man, in an ordinary indictment, which must be preferred in the KING'S name, makes use of that name against the meanest subject of the realm, it is his Ms.:rat-v . % duty to wish justice to be done, and to promote that justice to the utmost of his power ; and how impertinent then must it be when a proceeding is in progress against the Kixo's own wife, the person who, by all the laws of Goo and man, ought to be the person most dear to him in this w. rld—when that illustrious woman is under trial on el charge of adultery, how impertinent must it be to say that " the KING wishes only fur justice !" When her NI ursTv shall be acquitted (as soon we hope she will) of these infamous charges, there can be no doubt the Kix° will dismiss from his presence the men who have so basely traduced her. It will then be the wish of all good subjects that their MsJasmes should be reconciled, and the KING (who is by edu cation and practice, a perfect gentleman) will no doubt make overtures to the QUEEN fur that purpose. He We already bees too tong a stranger to tbootrl domestic comforts which lay the foundations for every happiness on this side of the grave. He is (alas !) declining into the vale of years, and he is afflicted with those infirmities which call most peculiarly for the at tentions of an affectionate wife. When his MAJESTY shall make the overtures we have mentioned, it would be perfectly natural for every Lady, treated as the QUEEN has been, to express some resentment, and to decline a reconciliation. It will then be fur all his MAJESTY'S loving subjects, (not forgetting the Bishops), to join their KING in addressing his Borst. CoNsoar, in proving to her, that the KING has been deceived, and in imploring her to bury the past in oblivion. We will hope that in such a case her MAJESTY will yield to the overtures of her Consort. and the Addresses of her Subjects, and we shall then have little doubt of their MAJzsms passing the remainder of their lives in the enjoyment of every connubial happiness. Yesterday, we understand, arrived in town, a lady and two gentlemen, all of high respectability, from Como, as witnesses in behalf of the Queen. A preliminary Meeting of several of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Pancras, was held last night at the Southampton Arms Tavern, Camden Town, to receive the limner fr the Church-wardens, to a re quisition which had been presented to them for ap pointing a public meeting of the parishioners to Address the Queen. 'I he meeting held last night, was intended to have been private, but, the business having trans pired, the assemblage of the inhabitants became so numerous that it was necessary to adjourn from the assembly-ruom to the garden. The Churchwardens having readily concurred in the objects of the requi sition, the resolutions proposed to be moved at the general meeting were prepared and agreed to, and the public meeting was announced to be held in the garden of the Southampton Arms, on Tuesday next. In consequence of a numerously signed requisition, a meeting of the inhabitants of Stroud, tiloucestershire, was appointed by the High Constable to be held yes terday, fur the purpose of voting an Address to the Queen. At a sleeting of the inhabitants of ('hipping-Sodbury, and Its neighbourhood, holden in the Town Hall on Friday, an Address of Congratulation to her Majesty, was unanimously adopted. After the Meeting of the Parishioners of Pad dington yesterday, the following Letter was wrings by Sir O. Noel : " Ts the Sheriffs of the County of Middlesex : " We, the undersigned, Freeholders of the County of Middlesex, duly qualified, request you will be pleased to ,call a blotting of the County, on such day as shall be convenient for yourself, for the purpose of considering/GO Address to his Majesty, praying that he will be plowed to disntin his present Ministers from his presence sad ossocils for ever.

Edward Callaghan, Mary Donoran, irin'ersz rail and Daniel Muroran, were indicted for thr W:i!ol Marder of Jeremiah tartit, on the 2IP.h of Judy hest. Mr. JllllBol' addressed the Jut s• on beh4ll of the pro- secution. Sarah Williams was the first witness called. From her evidence it appeared that on the night when the issur:ler was alleged to have been committed, the deceased was sitting in the George Public-house, Whitechapel, with two Englishmen, smoking a pipe. The prisoners, who are natives of Ireland, were also present. 'l'lte whole were engaged in glancing. Some of them asked the de ceased it he would get up anc dance. The deceased ruse for that purpose, when he was immediately struck by the prisoner, Callaghan. Some persons in - est:tit k ersuistled him sit down again, and he foldout his hand to tallaglise. Whilst doing this he received another blow froth a man named Garvey, who is not yet in custody. The prisoner, • Mary Donovan then came up and made some re mark to the di:erased, intituariug that she can tittered him as the bully of the Englishmen. The whole of the prisoners then, assisted by Garvey, laid bold of the deceased and dragged him into the yard in George Court. Witness sew Williain Garvey attempt to jump upon the head of the deceased, all the prisoners standing by at the time. Witness then went into her own house, and whilst sitting by the tire-side. her dour was broken open by liarit - y. Garvey seized the poker. , Witness then observed another person of the name of Silvester Mardyn kick the deceased violentl. At the sametime Garvey struck him with the poker three times. When the deceased bail got up, Mary Donovan threw a brick at him. Witness did not observe whether the brick struck the deceased, hut the last words which he tittered were, " You have tut me with a brick bat.' During the struggle Mary Donovan procured strung sticks, which she distributed amongst the men, some of whom beat the deceased with them. The de ceased was at length rescued from his dreadful situation by some Knolislatiwil whom his cries call ed to the spot. The prisoners and the rest of their companions then went away. Witness swore po sitively, that when Garvey struck the deceased with the poker, Edward Callaglian,9)aniel Donovan, and Mary Dollol'lll were present. She was not certain whether Wm. Donovan was pr. sent. The deceased thou went to a surgeon's sh in the neighbourhood. Some conversation took place respecting the necessity of producing this surgeon. He could not be found, and Mr. Jessop could not account for his absence. It was at length agreed to call Part.riilge, the parish con stable. He stated, that he knew there was a small shop in the neighbourhood of the George, but that he Itad never been able to lind the surgeon. Wm. Sell, a Surgeon in the Hospital to which the de ceased was taken on thettStb July, stated, that it was evi dent, from the state of the wound, that it bad been in flicted sonic days before he saw it. Sarah Williams was called back, and cross-examined by Mr. Barry. iler husband is at sea; she was never prosecuted ; had never been in a Court before ; was OHL(' imprisoned, about 3 years ago; she was two days there, with this single exception, she had never been in any trouble of the kind. There might be one or two more men in the public-house besides those •he had mentioned. She knew the prisoners before the affray. The door of her house was thirty yards from the George. She saw the deceased at work a short time after the accident had happened ; he hail then a handkerrhief tied round his head. Saw the deceased three or tour times before the prisoners were appre:iended. Margaret fil`Cartity was called but did not appear. It was then engulfed if any one was present who Crst saw the wounds of th:• deceased dressed, but uu witness of that description appeared. John Fortrscue a butcher, residing in George-yard, and one of the Englishmen with whom deceased was sit ting when the outrage comtnenced,was examined, touch ing the particulars. His account differed in some respects from that given by Wiliam,. Ile described the de ceased as following him quietly into the yard, in stead of being dragged out in the manner described by the former witness. Ile accompanied the deceased to the doctor's the following morning and saw his wounds dressed. There was a large fracture on the skull, be sides some smaller bruises. lie was only present at one dressing. The large wound had the appearance of having been jammed in with a poker. The doctor who first dressed the wound has now removed to Princes street, Spitalfields. (A person was here dispatched in quest of the doctor.) In cross-examination, the witness said, that the pri soners went out of the public-house before him. and that he was followed by earthy. He believed no one dragged earthy, but lie could not see behind him. lie could not tell whether sticks or the poker were first used, but thought that the poker was. Did not recollect seeing Mrs. Williams there, Witness was desired to look at Mrs. Williams, and he then immediately recognised her as having been in the tavern. The lint assault was committed in consequence of the deceased speaking to the servant girl, when he was immediately "pitched bite by two of the prisoners. Witness and deceased drank a pot of beer together the next day, and the day following that, they drank a quantity of gin and beer. On the Sunday morning deceased was qftite deranged. Did not recollect whether they then drank together. Witness persuaded him to go to the Hospital. Witness . formerly was a buteber,but has now retired upon a suffi ciency of .12s. a week. Hail been before Magistrates fur petty assaults, but always honourably acquitted. FOOT? D RORIIERIES.—This system of robbery has recently become very frequent in the fields to the north ward of the Regent's Park. In addition to the robbery which took place, as stated on Friday, a Mr. of Pulteney-street, was attacked by some fellows iu the fields near Chalk Farm, at eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, on his return from Hampstead, and robbed of his watch and some silver, all hr had about him, and he was struck several times. The robbers looked like gypsies. Coax-Exenating, SEPT.
