Mr. DAWSON did not think that the Petition which the Right Honourable Gentleman, the Secretary o f State. had quoted, ought to close the doors of inquiry io that House. Mr. TIERNEY thought that the House might go on examining witnesses ; a number of the Grand Jury had no objection to be examined. It was possible that the question which caused the difficulty before the Hoose might he never raised. Mr. N. DOUGLAS suggested that, as there could not he had a full inquiry, it would be better that 'the Com mittee should report progress, with leave to sit that day six months. Sir J. MACKIN'TOMI said that another Petition had b-en presented by the High Sheriff and the Jury, pray ing for an inqniry into their conduct. Now, as they mild contemplate no inquiry without the examination of the Jury themselves, they mast have been aware, and most have been prepared for that examination. He thmieht that, without pressing the question as to the rictus of the House—a right which appeared to him he . vond dispute—it would be better to take the sense of the House upon a It•solidion, that it was not expedient to examine the Grand Jury. After a few words from Sir G. HILL, Mr. PLUNKETT said that he agreed with those who conten led that rank inj ustice would be done unless the inquiry was to go on; ut it was not the Jury but the Sheriff who wan inculpated. Mr. R. SMITH suggested that it would be right to move that under the circumstances of the case, it would not b e e em-dient to proceed on the inquiry, with respect to any thing that had, passed before• the Grand Jury. Mr. PEEL said the Committee hrd nothing to do with the conduct of the Grand Jnry, except as it tended to impngn or exculpate the Sheriff. He thought it would be better to proceed with those parts of the inquiry with respect to which all were agreed, and to postpone the question whether it might be necessary or expedient to examine the Grand Jurors. Mr. BROUGHAM agreed with the Right Honour able Gentleman, that the only practical method of evad ing the difficulty %valid be to postpone to the last moment the consideration of the abstract question as to the necessity or expediency of examining the Grand J iron.--(Cries of "go on.") John Davies was then called in. and Examined by Coland BARRY.—He knet; person mined Addison Hone ; in was a wan of birch political teeline. Some flays before the *meeting of the Grand Jury, be heard Mr. Hone speak to Sheriff Thorpe aboat • the prosecution, and expressed a ni.h to be on the Jury; when the Sheri& said he was considered a party man in the City, and that he (Mr. Thorpe) did not think fit to pot him on the Grand dory, as there were cir cumstances of a very peculiar nature coming' before it. Witneas understood by party-mau. a hi Protestant .AsTenflancy-men--not an Orangeman. Witness is not art Oraniemin. He was one of the Grand Jury in Ja na try lest. A I.!ter was h•re pro laced from the Crown Solicitor in Ir.J. ind, requiring bath the Sheriff.; to return a panel. William Carpenter was neat called. He raid he was a buildet. Evamined by Col. BA lIRY.—He knew William Poole. lar , l a conversation be:Avert] him and Sheriff Thorpe. Mr. Pool , cone to him and exp , e4s , d a•tonisliment at rot being put on the panel. as Mr. Thorpe had promis ed lie should. Ile said if he was put on the Jury, he would rot itrerfere with any thing that related to the Theatre ; but he wished to be pat on the Jury, on account of a air. O'Meara, whose case he should be able "to explain to the Jury. Sheriff Thorpe said that that very circumstance must prevent hie bring one of the Jury. On heing cross-examined by Mr. S. RICE, the wit ness said he belonged to the Oran e Association at the time he was on the Grand Jury. • He had not said that the oil's avkitint the rioters ought to be thrown oat. Br Mr. 808. SNllTll.—Witnews was acquainted with Mr. Poole; be thinks Mr. Poole a warm man in poli tics; was opposed to his politics; believed him a Conci liation wan. Bring asked if be had ever before known of bargains of this kind made with Sheriffs, he said he had himself got a friend put on the Grand Jan% on his applying to Sheriff White for the purpose. When Mr. Poole went away, Mr. Thorpe said the circumstance which Poole - had stated, would prevent his being en the panel. Witness wan linked by Mr. Hl; ME, whether be took an oath as an Oragemen, and answered in the affirmative. What was the nature of that oatb?—To support the King and Constitution. . Could you not support the King and Constitution without Liking an oath ? will you state the words or the substance of the oath ? Mr. GOULBURN objected to this question, as it was not to beexpected be could remember the words. Lord MILTON' maintained that the question was a very proper one. Cul. BARRY said he was no Orangeman ; but the Orangeman's oath was. no secret ; it was in print. He hoped the House would not lay it down as a principle that, because a man happened to be an Orangeman, he was unworthy of being believed. He bad heard many imputations thrown out against Orangemen, all of which were unfounded and unjust. But he would say that they were men who deserved much better of their country than many who were opposed to them. Mr. HUME observed that it was extraordinary and even suspicious that a man who came there to speak to a particu lar conversation, should declare that he was an Orangeman, that as such he had taken a particular oath, and that he could not speak to the tenor of that oath. The witness was then recalled. By Mr. FlUME.—Witness did not attend an Orange lodge for four or five months before the Jury was ius panelled. Mr. PEEL—Witness does not conceive that hi has taken any oath which prevents him from telling the whole tiuth, Hy Sir J. MACKINTOSH.—Witness does not con sider any oath he has taken a secret. The oath ob lutes him to keep it a secret. There were signs which lie was to keep secret. Thinks it does not bind him to keep any thing else secret ; but is not positive. By ilr. JONES.—Witness Woks Sheriff Thorpe did not know he was an Orangeman. Hy Sir J. MACKINTOSII.—The number of witness's Judge is 1610. The oath he takes binds him to be faithful to all Orangemen, and also to Romeo Catholics. The words that binds the member to be true to Orange men, are not the same as those which bind him to be true to Roman Catholics. Doss not recollect the precise wards. The words Roman Catholic are in the oath in a friendly sense. The oath make it necessary for the Member to swear that he never was, and is not a Ro man Catholic. Su. U. HI LL complained that the Honourable an 1 Learned . Oentleman had, in the course of his ex 'wine skin of the witness, introduced too much argument and observation. Sir J:MACKINTOSH said he was quite ready to vin dicate the fitness of the course he had adopted. He dial le Need ohjeef kn. atr. DAWSON thought the Hon. Oentleinan had ra ther argned with the witness. He thought that , it was tight that the House sboultl not lose sight o f the strictest decotum ht their proceedings. dlr. scARLErr agreed with tne Honourable Meal ier, and begged to ,add. that he did not think it very Proper that. the wiUaeas should be cheered during his lamnietation. MrillkOttrniAN would remind the Hause that there was a precedent which usisht b; quated in e‘tettuation • of the indecorous practice of cheering a witness. Upon a certain celebrated occasion it was w,ell known that after a witness bad made some particular declaration, a cheer broke forth from the illustrious and reverend Judges.— (a laugh.) The MTORNEY-OENERA L thought it necessary to add, that the cheer originated with that portion of the illustrious tribunal which his Hon. and Learned Friend least wished to reflect on. The witness was then recoiled, rood stated that a per son on becoming a Member of an Orange Lodge, mast stite that he is not a Roman Catholic. . To several other questions the witness answered that of the fourteen Common Councilmen on the Jury, there were three Orangemen, ten Protestant Ascendancy-men, and one whose politics he did not know. Being asked if he thought that drinking the glorious memory was a mark of being a Protestant Ascendancy. man ?--fle said he heard it given by a Member of that House, Mr. Ellis.—(A laugh.) By Sir GEORGE HlLL—Witness believes that there was nothing in the oath of an Orangeman which was not already published. Mr. HUMI.I.-Are there any contributions or quarter ly payments at these lodges ?--None, except to defray the expenses of the night. Mr. R. SMITH.—Do yon know if any savings could be effected in that department'?—(Roars of laught-r.) By Sir J. NEWPORT. Witness was at Sheriff Thorpe's dinner. The only pl••dge that Mr. Thorpe was to drink the glorious memory, and to act in the opinion of those who made him Sheriff. He meant that part of the Common Councilmen which were called the Glorious Memory-intm. There is no oath he has taken that obliges him to .conceal any part of his evidence.— There was no subscription for the traversers in his lodge. Witness never subscribed, and was never applie I to to subscribe for the traversers. %Vitness does not really know if he is a Purple man. Dews not know what a Purple man is. Mr. Stoker was the member of the lode. The witness then withdrew. Tbediouse resumed—The Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned a few minutes before One o'clock. ATROCIOUS cAsli OF PIRACY. (Further particulars, from the Liverpool Advertiser) The Ceres, Braithwaite, which has artived here from New Orleans, was hoarded on the lath of March, off Ha venue, by a piratical schooner, and robbed of money and store+, the captain and crew were also treated with great cruelty. The following is an extract from the log book of ;he Ceres :—At two p.m. on the Eith of March, observed a schooner coming before the wind close in shore. In about an hour afterwards the schooner came alongside of the Ceres, and ordered us to send our boat on board of her, and after some hesitation the mate and two men were sent in the haat. As soo-i as the boat reached the schooner, they were ordered on deck, and six of the pirates hutnediately got into the boat, and pro ceeded on board the Ceres. When they reached the deck, Captain Braithwaite was ordered aft, where he was confined about fifteen minutes, guarded by some of the pirates. Daring this period the other freebooters were occupied in breaking opeh every place wit re money or other valuakles were likely to be found. After they had posses ed themselves of every thing of value they could discover, th-y returned to Capt. B. demanding to know if he had not more money on hoard. To their repeated inquiries, lie replied that they had taken every thing but' : his life. After a number of threats if he mill not teH them where the money was to be found, he was ordered to bring some grease fur the rope with which the villains were preparing to bang him. After continuing Some. time in this horrible suspense, be was repeatedly knocked down, and threatened with iestant death. But finding all their threats in vain, and after having given him se veral blows with their cutlasses, the marauders proceeded to three of the crew who remained on board, to whom they repeated the same questions as to where the money I was concealed ; and not being able to obtain any satisfac tory information from them, they were treated in a most cruel manner. The pirates now returned to Captain Braithwaite, and that he, the crew, and the vessel, should be burnt together before the sitting of the sun. This was about tire p. m. 'fhe villains then left the Ceres, and returned to their own vessel, with the whole of their ' I plunder, consisting of fifty-six dollars belonging to Capt. Braithwaite, his watch, all the clothing they could find, together with the whole of the cabin and the chief part of the Ceres' stores. When the pirates reached their vessel, the mate and the other m.n who had been detained on board were ordered on deck, and interrogated as to the cargo, and what money and passengers were on board the Ceres. The mate having stated that there were no passengers, and that he knew of no money on board, they were then ordered below. In a very short time the mate was again brought on deck, when the commander of these freebooters advanced towards him with a drawn sword, and the same questions were repeated, but not being able to get any other answers, a rope was placed round his neck, and when on the point of being ruts up, some hesitation was ob d in bitn,and the master of the pirate advanced towards him, when the mate offered him him his watch, which was at first refused, but protesting that he bad no money, and that he did not know where any was concealed, the rope was re moved from his neck, and he was ordered to go below, with the threat that if this statement proved false, death would be their doom in the morning. After a short consuitetien, however, among these barbarians, at six p. m., the mate and the other men were sent into their boat, with orders to Cap- tain Braithwaite, that if the Ceres was seen off the coast in the morning the whole of them should be ezecuted.Two of the crew of the brig Minerva, of Amsterdam, were at the same time put on board the Ceres, (which vessel they had taken on the 15th of February, on her voyage to the Havanna); the master, a passenger, and the rest of the crew of the Mi nerva were detained on board the pirate. The Ceres put into New Providence to procure supplies. The piratical schooner was about 50 tons, painted black, with white bot tout and moulding. An inquest was held yesterday at the Spread Engle, Milbank, before Mr. Gel!, on the body of a woman un• known. which was found by a watertnan, on Tuesday morning. in the River Thames, opposite the Spread Eagle. She was respectably dressed in black, apparently a young woman; the body appeared to hays been in the water about 10 days: * Verdict—Found dead in the river Thames. ALARMING PlM—The admirers of the Fine Art% will, 113 doubt, be extremely concerned to bear that a fire broke out yesterday. during the time the men were gone to dinner, at Messrs. Dixon and Sons, the copperplate printers, in Tottenham-street, Tottenham Court Road, which, there is reason to fear, must have made great ra rages among the productions of our bat Engravers. The'flain-s raged nub considerable fury, awl destroyed plates, printing materials, presses, hie. to a considerable imonnt . Mr. Dixon, in the endeavour to save part of the property, from the confined situation of the place was nearly suffocated, and was unable to speak for several minutes after he was got out. The plate of the interior of the House of Lords, which is just completed, it is ea _ dervaid escaped unhurt ; • and by a timely arrival of the engines, and a good supply of water, tue ilames were prevented spreading.

THE stikrassioi LLOYD*B COFFEEHOUSE. A Meeting of the Members of this Establishment was yes terday held, pursuant to notice, for the purpose of electing a second Mager, in the place of Mr. Waite, &closed. Se veral hundred Members attended. Mr. Msrryatt, the Chair man, prefaced the business of the Meeting by a detailed statement of the present situation of their funds, which, be observed,had long been gradually decreasing ; and proposed that notice be given or a Meeting to be held on the 30th of June next, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of reducing the expenses, or of increasing the amount of subscriptions; The CHAIRMAN then moved, that Mr. John flennet, the Secretary, he appointed Second Master, in the place of Mr. White, deceased, with a salary of 10001., in addition to his salary as Secretary. The motion was carried, subject to any alteration that may be made by the Subscribers at the proposed meeting iu June. The CRAIRUAN next proposed that Mr. Dobson, ono of the Clerks, be appointed Taird Master, with a salary of 600!. per annum. Hera a printed letter from Mr. W. Rossiter, ono of the waiters, was handed up, in uhicit he off:red himself a can didate. Mr. ft. DIXON then addressed the meeting, observing, that he had been a subscriber to that room during 5/ years, and in that time it had becil the practice, in conformity with the Bth rale of their regulations, to appoint waiters, of good be haviour and long services, to succeed masters as vacancies might happen. lie therefore moved that Mr. W. Rossiter, the senior waiter, be appointed to fill the office of tinier Master, vacant by the death of Mr. White, and consequent removal of Mr. Bennet. The motion was seconded by Mr. FOILTUNB, who was of opinion that the services of Mr. Rossiter, during twenty three years in that room, justly entitled him to the appoint ment. The question was then pot, when there appeared to be a large show of hatidi for Mr. Ros,iter. On the name of Mr. Dobson being proposed, the allow of hands was evi dently less. . . A &airman then demanded a ballot. which WR9 agreed to. Six days' notice will be given of the day of ballot. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BIBLE SOCIETY. Yesterday the Anniversary Meetinc of the Merchant Seamen's Bible Society was held at the City of Lond , on Tavern, where the great room was fillet! by a respectable assemblage of females. Lord Exmnurn took the Chair. The report was rea tby the Secretary. It stated at great length the prozress the Sooiety had male during the last year; and the whole was highly grati flin.'. Lord ROCKSAVAGE moved that the report should be re eche". It was agreed to with much applause. A Gentleman addressed the Meeting at great length, and contended that it was a mistake to suppose that it would make sailors mopes, and afraid of gunpowder, if they were made religious. The contrary seas proved by the fact, that the b tt lighters had often been the best Christians; and amongst the host, he instanced Colonel Gardner, Adasirsl liainhier, and their present excelent Chairman. (Loud applause.) No soldiers or sailors could be so good as those who were constantly prepared to meet death, and none could be well prepared to face the King of Terrors who were wit armed by religiou.—(Applause) —Sailors of a religious habit were also more docile, an required less rigorous restiaiut than others. There was no class of men who had such extensive claims upon the charitable or towards whom the country was undergreater obligations to provide for their spiritual welfare. Grati tude and humanity, as well as interest, were united in claiming the assistance of mercantile meta in this good work. • The Rev. Mr. Cs. %reale moved a vote of thanks to the Noble and Gallant Chairman. It was agreed now, s whi!terer notions might bare been 641 formerly, that true knowledge was a substantial i rouil. If this were true, then there could be no foundation in the objection to giving light and knowledge to seamen, by the disse mination of the Scriptures. It should also be consider ed, that in making each sailor a Christian, they made Itias as it were a Missionary, to convey the troth to the mast distaut parts of the globe, where they would do as muck good by their moral example as they formerly did harm by their bad and immoral habits. The motion of Thanks.was carried unanimously. Lord Eta:mem in returning thanks, said, that as the merchants had their packets tilled by the labour of the sailors, they ought, in gratitude, to empty theirs upon an occasion like the present, when the belle& of the sailors demanded it. The Meeting was then dissolved. The hint given by the Noble Chairman was not lost, and a large subscription NAB male. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Yesterday these arljourned Sessions were held at the Sessions House Clerkenwell- green, before F. CoxsT, 1:1‘q. and a bench of Magistrates. Louisa Healey, Sarah Haynes, Edmond Gardner, frilliam and willi am r om a., were indicted for a riot and an assault on Thomas Richard Haynes. Th prosecutor is a dry-cooper in the London Docks, and husband of one of the d4endanta, who lived separate from him. After the case had been heard, _ _ The Omits! An summed up, and the Jur) , found S irah Haynes and Louisa Healey Guilty, they were each fiord 1.. Mrs. Heynes's father entering into recognizance. to keep the peace towards her husband, and Mrs. Healey entering into her own recognizance., they were dif charred._ Jan Lawrence was indicted for entering the burial ground of St. Jame', Clerkeotrell, for the purpose of stealing the bodies of the 0-ad. There was a second connt in the indictment, charging him with digging op a body, for the purpose of disposing the same to be ana tomized. Mr. WALFORD, for as prosecution, stated that the psi. soder, some time back, took a house, the back window of which looks into the burial ground ; the window was secured Icy iron bars. Suspicion was excited against him in consequence of his being seen to enter the house late at night. On exami►►ing the bars of the window, they were found to be louse. This circumstance strengthened the suspicion, and it was determined that the house should be searched, when it eas discovered that the house was completely destitute of furniture, and in one corner of ihe.roorn lay the hotly of a dead tn.o. These suspicious circumstances bad led to this indictment. The CHAIRMAN said, ocetainly there was a deal of sus• picion attached to the case, but there was not sufficient proof against the prisoner to - go to • Jury. He was con sequently discharged. The Editor of a literary periodical doormat was tried for political libel, and sentenced to thirteen months' imprison meat.
