Mr. Cotcnincc rose, and riveted the attention of the' wlinle Court, by his very forcible appeal in behalf of the 'unfortunate man at the liar. He contended the charge had rut been borne out by the evidence, and that he was enti tled to an acqui•tal. 'the Rccon nen, in a most impartial manner, summed up by the evidence, and, addressing the Jury, desired them to put out of sight the condition in life of the prisoner; end, dismissing all former things from their bosoms, cleeide by the evidence, and that alone, which bad this day some before them. At abo.it four o'clock, the Jnry not appearing likely to svree, were loeked up; the Coort continued sitting till rear six o'clo• - lc, when, finding they still disagreed, it was nrljoirned. The front of the Guildhall, and the avenues of it, were crowded with persons to a very late hour, and many lingered round it through the night, anxiously ex pecting the determination of the Jury. The Court reas• sembled this morning at eight o'clock; the Jury were sent for by the Recorder, also asked if there was any point which caused doubts on their minds, in which he could assist them, and, upon being answered in the nega tive, intrinned them they must again retire till they were unanimous; upon sr! ich, after a few minutes' consalta lion, wishout leaving the box, they returned a verdictof Yid Guilty. INSOLVENT DEBTORS ACT-LANDLORD AND TENANT. What follows may not he new or extraordinary for law yers, or practitioners in the Insolvent Debtors Court, but we are sure there is a class of readers to whom it will be novel. Some short time since, two persons io this county, of respectable rank in life, held two farms in joint tenancy from one Landlord, one of which, rfrom the fall of price', and the consequent deterioration of landed property, not only had ceased to he an interest, but was a source of con tinual lose to the tenants ; the other, either from its being lied lat a lower rate, or from the locality of its situation, vie:fled them a profit of about NI. per annum. This profit, liowever, did not cover the loss which they sustained by the first farm, and the parties, upon deliberation, resolved to render a surrender of Loth to the Landlord. They ac cordingly came to Cork, where the gentleman resides, stated to him, and their wishes. These, however, would nit be complied with—a surrender of the good farm would accepted, but nth the losing one the landlord would Lace nothing to do. The offer was subsequently repeated, tile hardships of the case represented, and every reasonable r-muestranee made use of, in order to obtain an acquies cence in what was considered, under all the circumstances, ‘e-y reagonal.le request. All was fruitless : the Land lord was inexorable; lie would not release the tenants.— In this •itoation, and finding that they would be eventually declined by being kept to the farms, they resolved to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act, and went to Dublin in or der to go through tint ordeal. Their petition was accord ingly filed, and being c tiled on to be heard before the Commissioners, the Calmatl for the Landlord then offered to accept a surrender of both farms; to which the Counsel for the Petitioners objected, saying, that his clients bad, in a spirit of fairness and equity, tendered a surrender of the good as well as the bad; but as it had been rejected , let the Landlord now seek his remedy. The ease was then gone into, and the result was, that the Petitioners were diseharg-' ed upon surrendering the bad farm only. The good one they retain, arc still in possession of, and likely . to remain so. —Talk of the Legislature refusing to entertain a project for the revision of Contracts, indeed!—Why here is a revs. sinn as working and practical as could ba effected by twen ty Acts of Parliament.—(Cork Southern Reporter.) ----- A singnlar imposition was practised on one of the Ministers of Ayr lately. A collier of the name of Clark, after being proclaimed regularly on Sunday preceding, on a girl of the name of Brant, procured a certificate of the 14.4t:lamation. and with it went to the minister, attended 144 by the expectant maid to whom be bad been thus pro. claimed, but by another, more favoured or more importunate, of the nameof bic.Culloch,and succeeding in passing the one for the other on the unsuspecting clergyman they were actual. ly married with all the accustomed forms. This breath of all Cut is sacred and faithful is not to pass with impunity, for the deceiver has been very properly taken up, and bell to hail, to answer for the imposition thus practised.—(Cele donjon Mercury.) Jew versus Ogxruc—A question, rather singular in its nature, and of some importance to the clergy of the establishment, is, we understand, likely to famish em• ployntent for the gentlemen of the long robe. It is well known that a severe contest was a few weeks since carried cn in the parish, but confined to resilient householders. Ultimately a reverend gentleman nas found to have a tasjority of four over his next competitor, and declared to hr duly elected. From this decision, however, an appeal Las b et) made by means of a bill in Chancery, it being alleged that certain gentlemen of the Jewish persuasion, whose votes were reject , d at the elt.ction on account of their religious opinions, were perfectly qualified to exercise their elective franchise. Hail their suffrages been received, it is c o ntended that the unsuccessful 'candidate would have unquestionably carried the day. It is also contended that Homan Catholics, in similar cases, by the common law, most enjoy the privilege. It is said that an eminent of the Croup, to whom the case I , as been sub mitted, has given Isis opinion decidedly in favour of t•e Hebrews; should the Chancellor's &mists eventually settle it.to the same opinion, the result, should the con wilding parties be alive at the time, will of course be a fresh ciection.—N.

CORONER'S 'NO:EST.-1r consequence of the very sodden death of Mrs. Eleanor Jane Maittaiid,the wife of Captain Maitland, and daughter-in-law of General Maitland, on Wed ne•doy last. an inquest was yesterday held, on view of the body, by Mr. Stirling, at the Pitt's !lead, Cumberland-stree', Poranaii-square. From the evidence it appeared that this lady was only ti years of age. and had been safely delivered of a son about three weeks air, but had silica her accouchrotent been doing remarkably well. On the nunniog In question a aete was xis en her from Gen. Maitland, the contents of which ♦ so tar from being al..rming, were of the must soothing and satisfactory nature. It was addressed to the deceased by the 0.-nerai, expiessing his anxiety for their welfare. and earnestly oishitig to see the nee-tined sad tt!ti infant, since her aecoucue. meat ; he however said, he roust that pleasure until his evturn to town in a fortnight, as, should he wait until she came down into the drawing room. he would be obliged to travel annoy hours in the dark; he hoped teat God would preserve therti both to comfort each other.

RIGHTS OF THE PRESS. -•m-- (PROM THE TYNE MERCURY.) NEWCASTLE POLICE.—Seven weeks have now elapsed, since the writer of this Mr. 11. A. Mitchell, attended the. Mayor's Chamber, for the purpose of reporting the pro- ceedings. For that attendance he had the full sanction of Robert BELL, El., our late excellent Chief Magistrate,) and he continued to take notes without interruption till the present Mayor, Wm. WRIGHT, Esq. came into office. The very day after his election, on Tuesday the 7th of October, Mr. H. Mitchell was called upon by Mr. John Brown, clerk to the Magistrates, who stated, that the Mayor had seat his compliments, and requested Mr. H. A. M. would desist, for the present, from attending at the Mayor's Chamber to report the proceedings, as his brother Magis. trates were net agreed to approve of it.—Mr. H. A. Mitchell immediately afterwards waited on the Mayor at the Mansion House. His Worship repeated the observation of Mr. Brown, and courteously declined sanctioning his attendance on his own authority, in consequence of what had occurred at a previous meeting of his Brother Magis trates. Mr. Mitchell expressed regret that his sense of duty to the public would not allow him to absent himself, and that he was therefore determined to appear as usual in the Mayor's Chamber, whatever might be the result. The day following, Wednesday, the Sth Oct. being then the first Court day, Mr. H. A. Mitchell,_ as heretofore, entered the Mayor's Chamber at 10 o'clock in the forenoon. About a quarter of an hour after. Mr. Alderman Sr:ousts came in and took his seat as Sitting Magistrate, in the absence of Mr. %Yam ur, when the following conversation took place . Mr. Ald. SORSBIE-1S your name Mitchell, Sir? Mr. H. A. Mitchell—lt is, Sir. Mr. Ald. SORSDIE—I understand, Sir, you had yesterday some conversation with the Mayor relative to your attend ing here for the purpose of reporting the proceedings. Mr. H. A. Mitchell—l had, Sir. Mr. Ald. Souffle-1 regret, Sir, that when he intimated to you that his brother Magistrates were not agreed to approve of it, delicacy did not induce you to absent yoarself. Mr. H. A. Mitchell—l regret, Sir, that my sense of duty would not permit me to accede to his request. Mr. Ald. SORSEIS—Then you claim to attend here as a matter of right? Mr. H. A. Mitchell—l do, Sir. Mr. Ald. Soesatx—eThen 1 order you to quit the room, Sir. Mr. 11. A. Mitchell—l must decline complying with that request, Sir, till it is supported by the application of force. Mr. Alderman SORSBlL.—Forsytb, take Mr. Mitchell out. Thomas Forsyth, the police officer, then laid hold of Mr. H. A. Mitchell by the arm, and conducted him out. Mr. M. considers this expulsion from the Mayor's Cham ber as ae outrageous infringement of one of the most im portant rights a subject of (treat Britain can enjoy, the right to attend a Court of Justice. He might urge the expediency of reporters having the sanction of magistrates to attend to taksnotes of the proceedings—he might dilate on the advantages the public derive from such a measere— he might remark on the imputation the magistrates cast on themselves by attempting to minds thee, but be for bears. He considers it the right of every anus in this country to attend in a Court of Justice, as long u he conducts himself with decorum, and be conceives the only limitation to be, the want of room. Mr. H. A. Mitchell, is determined, therefore, conditionally to try the question, and for this purpose no opportunity could have occurred more favourable. He will being an action for assault against Mr. SoRSBIII, provided he receives from the public that support he is entitled to expect; and the only defence that can be set op will be, that the magistrates have an exclusive privilege to attend in the Mayor's Chamber. Towards Mr. Aldermen SORSEIS. be thinks it his duty to observe that lie entertains no feeling of hostility ; that la. dividual's character,as a gentleman o f distinguished worth, integrity and honour, deservedly stands too high fir him to throw out any aspersions against him if he bad the in clination, which he has not. It is not his private conduct, but his behaviour as u magistrate to which he objects : it Is not against the person, but against the principle he contends. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday a Mr. (Hover, a publican at the corner of Lisle Street, Soho, appealed against a conviction of the Magis trates for keeping his house open at improper times, and on the convicti being read it turned out that Mr. Glower's house was uescribed as situated in the wrong parish. The conviction was therefore quashed on this, ground ; but singular enough, the parisk of St. Anne's, mentioned in the document, actually reaches to within two yards and a hay' of the appellant's house. REFUTED THIEF. John Tennis was indicted for stealing, on the 17th of September last, a handkerchief, the property of Robert Scandler, from his person. The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 17:h Sept. he caught the prisoner with his hand in his pocket, and taking out the handkerchief, which lie handed to one of his . companions, who made off. A constable who was near the spot (Covent Garden Theatre) saw the robbery committed by the prisoner. The Prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery : he was the chief support of his mother. The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of— Guilty. The COURT said, that owing to the prevalence of this species of crime, it must be prevented as much as possible, and ordered the Prisoner to he transported for seven years. The Prisoner was a well-known character, and has been repeatedly in custody. LICENSING OF SAVILLE HOUSE. This case having been specially set down for hearing at two o'clock, there was an extremely full bench of Al sgis trates.—Mr. ALLEY was engaged for the Petitioner, Mr. George Harris, of Saville House, Leicester-field:, and stated that the present application was made for a license ti have concerts and musical parties in the upper rooms of thaL tx tensive establishment. It would be recollected, he observed, that various exhibitions had been allowed in them, and the present Petition was founded under the 25th of George 11., allowing such assemblies. CHAIRMAN—That is an Act for granting a license for musical parties, dancing, and such like amusements and entertainments. It is not for a debating society that you apply for a license ? Mr. A Luty answered in the negative; and after some further observations, Mr. Harris said, the desk ail. object he hail in view has to open the Grand Room f.ir Concert:. i t was but right that he should sta'e, that the Rooms in qiie•timi had been unoccupied for wee years ((string u ILO time lie hail paid the rates and Low), outwitlis , andinz lie would willingly, and, in to t. bad endeavoured to IA them fur the purposes of trade, but nes unsafe t.I do so. The reason for the present application was, that it.bad been intimated to hint (tir. Harris), that if be Isere to have a piano -forte, or any piece of music, his weal& without a license. be infring jug on the law, aaa this be could Dot for a moment entertain an idea ot•. IC II A 1131 A N r yOU Mesa only to open it for a concert,. ;win I do not see &nye:ls:lsle to granting the timer, hut 'rs must be understood that the license is nut to be granted in tetinitely. Sir IticiiAßD BIBS'S spoke in high terms of the diaries ter of Mr. Harris. The license, which granted to Mr. Harris the poweP of opening the rooms in question fur twelve tai mills for public dancing. music, and stoma lik adtaseine.,:s, •vas n rut n and tits!. *. Harris having renewed his license, begged to thank the Court, and retired. Another application was made by a foreigner, to open a mem, in Marquis•court. Drury Lane, as a " Conversing ROOM" The subjects to be discussed were Theology, the Sciences. Appullonins, Lavater, &c. The Court refused the application on the ground that the documents pre• tented were not so specific as to authorise the Court in granting the petition, particularly es it came unauthorised by the signatures of the clergymen of the parish, or any of the inhabitants. The CHAIRMAN at the fame time in- formed the applicant that he had the power of applying to two Magistrates, who could call a Special Session, when the merits of the case would be investigated. POLICE. -.e.-- Masstox House.—Three men, the first of whom was James Thompson, who staled himself to be a coachman, the second a young man of respectable appearance, was a millwright, and the third a weaver, all Scotchinen, applied to Alderman GARRATT, for relief, as they said they were in a starving condition, and certainly their appearance, which presented a picture of the last degree of misery, corrobo rated their statement. They said they were part of a num ber who had been landed recently by some ship, trading to Honduras, from whence they had come, the remnant of about 200 persons, who bad been induced be the most atrocious representations to emigrate to a place called Poyais. Such of them as bad escaped the mortality, and were now in this country, were in the most destitute con dition. They wished to return home, and the three appli cants for themselves, new prayed present relief, and pas sage back, to their homes in Scotland. Alderman ARRATT said, he had read the case of the unfortunate people as it appeared in the pnblic prints, and it was really one of a very deplorable nature , hut the ' Chief Magistrate, for wham be sat, had no power to give them relief, or a passage home. The course they must take, would be to apply to the parish officers of the parish where they had slept. Some small pecuniary relief was then given to the• mita firers, and au officer was directed to accompany them Is lthe parish officers. The applicants, however, appeared to feel a strong objection to being passed home to their friends as vagrants, and would almost prefer begging tbeir way were they strong enough to undertake the journey. Theta is hardly one who is not labouring under some disorder contracted in consequence of the hardships they endured. The last ship, the Ocean, Captain Whittle, arrived in the elver on Monday, with the last of the emigrants. Some few, we understaail, from those who have arrived, were left Is a hopeless condition in the hospitals of Honduras and Belize ; but of the whole number that went out-200 men, women, and children, but 45 were embarked in the several traders, and of the latter nurubera a great many have died on the passage. The greater number have been landed io London, some have been put on shore at Bristol, and not wore than 30 have been as yet heard of. 6ti LIMA LL.—Noebe Allen o as charged with wounding, with intent to murder, her husband. She was brought up on the morning she committed the act, hot her husband was too ill to attend, being confined in St. Bartholomew's Hospital ' • and it was not anti' yesterday that he was de eared so far out of danger as to be able to give evidence. John Allen stated that Le was a waiter at the Horse Shoe sad Star -public-house,i - ten and Chicken court, Fleet-street. The prisoner is his wife. She had been charing at tile public-house (where she had been fa: merle a servant, but was discharged for bad behaviour) for a feu days. On the morning of the 20th September last, witness web cleaning the windows of the bar, when the prisoner threw a large knife at his head, which lie avoided by turning it aside. The knife passed through the window and went to the hot. tom of the house. The prisoner picked up the knife again. Witness went on cleaning the windows, an I when he had finished them he went into the tap to get his breakfast. The prisoner was then cutting bread and butter; and be bad not been many minutes in the room, when she seized ' the knife and made a plunge at witness's breast, but forte. stately his fellow-servant prevented her. She seemed to grow more composed, and the young man hit her go ; but she presently snatched up the knife, and declared, with a horrible expression, 44 1 shall do for von," making at wit. nese in a desperate manner. He held up his arm, and 4- ceived the blow upon it. Feeling himself wounded, be has tened out of the house, and was taken by his fellow-servant to a surgeon, from whose shop he was taken to the hospital. The prisoner has been witness's wife for six years. She is an habitual drunkard. William Smith, porter at the Horse Shoe and Star, at the time, confirmed this testimony. Robert Tanner, dresser at St. Bartholomew's hospital, said he saw Allen when he was brought to the hospital on the 20th Sept. Mr. Vincent attended upon him ; he bas left the hospital. Witness saw the wound :it began above the elbow in the back part of the arm, passing forwards and deeply wounding several arteries below the elbow. The principal artery in the upper part of the arm was wounded. io the opinion of witness, the wopod would have caused death, bad it not been spe edily dressed. Ana, tber wound was made in the arm before the arteries could lie taken up and secured. . The prisoner, in her defence, put in simper, from which It appeared jealousy was the cause of her violence. The Alderman said be must commit her for trial under Lord Ellenborough's Act, which was accordingly done. Bow STazaT.—Yesterday, Louisa Evans and Mary Smith, two prcstitutes of the lowest description, were brought before 0. B. birreseuaL, Bsq., on a charge of stealing a 101. bank-note from the person of Mr. Charles Trufort, a respectable shoemaker, residing in the City ' Road, whom they had inveigled into their lodgings while In a state of intoxication, and when nearly senseless from the effect of the potent libations lie had swallowed, they contrived to possess themselves of the note in question, and also of a bench of keys. On coming to himself, he discovered his loss, and immediately applied to the watch, who after much difficulty succeeded in taking the prisoners; but on searching them, neither the note nor keys were found.—They were remanded. chiltgff Sonaitt.--Aasterday, Jolt* Hollowell, a baker. of Sutton (sound, Westminster, was sammoned "for sell ing bread to his castomers, without weighing it previous to its leaving his shop. The complainant stated, that on last Monday evening, lie went into the defendant's shop, and asked for three quer tern loaves; a young woman in the shop served him.—He asked her if it was net usual to weigh the bread in the presence of - the buyer; she answered that they sometimes did, hut oe the present occasion, it was quite onolcessary, as she seas sure the loaves weighed four pounds each. Complainant, on his way home, went into a grocer's shop in Regent Street, and had the loaves weighed, one was half a pound deficient, the other two, 2 oz. Hollowell, in his defence, said that he did not make all his loaves of au exact weight, he usually said it by the pound, some loaves weighing 4 and I less than others. The defendant was convicted in the penalty of ten shil lings sad costs. LtAIHETII•S rREET.—INDZCENT EXPOSURB, AND Tea Ana OP Remo:v.—Yesterday William Brown, an elderly man, living near the Globe in 5111 e-end-road, was brought to this Office, char i .ed with very indecent language, and exposing his person in an indecent manner to Mrs. Hannah Pim., a very pretty decent-looking young woman, who brought into Lourt with her a smiling cheerful infant. I Her evidence nn oath was quite distinct as to the most scandalous abuse and ealutuay on the part of the defendant, aid as to the exposing of his person ; it was, lawever. of a nature unlit to appear in our Journal. Mr. Prior, the fins - band of the complainant, stated, that the defendant had caluusdated ilia wife, who he had every reason to believe was a most faithful, virtuous woman ; that she had cow munitated to him, iunu:diately or his return, the indeccu• conduct of the defendant, and that it was by his advice slto had applied for a warrant against the prisoner. A rung woman, servant in the Globe public-house, and a noting man conSrmeil Mr. Prior's statement as t the bad langnage ; and Mr. WYATT, the Magistrate, expressed hi s determination to have sent the offender to the tread mill for two or three months, had there been any other witness of the indecent exposure besides the complainant herself.— On being called on•fee his defence, the accused said, it was a conapiricv against him, because he was an Otlit,er, and endea►oured to keep the peace ; that the prosecutors would swear any thing against him, they believing in neither God nor devil. He further stated that they spent their whole time studying Tom Paine's Axe of Beason, and other blasphemous book.. Mrs. Bros n continued her husband's statement as to the reading bad hooks. and ssi I that Mr. Prior had once asked her for the loan of a honk, she believed it was on a Sunday, and she offered to lend bim a Bible ; but, with a look which betrayed an utter contempt for the holy work, he rejected it, observing that it was all a " bundle of lies," and that be would saisner read a novel, or any other book. Mr. Wvarr sail to Mr. Prior, what are you, Sir ?—Mr. Prior : I am an excise officer.—Mr. WYAET : So was Tom Paine, and, I think, if the Board of Excise were to know that you are a disciple of his, von would not lonz Is , t an excise officer ; ou may play with your own soul as you like, but you are not to poison the minds of your wife or children.-The defendant was ultimately ordered to ticil bail to take histrial at the Sessions. _ - UNION HALL.— Yesterday a charge was preferred in behalf of Julia Lament, a little girl between 11 atol 12 veers of age, against the conductors of a most respectable Boarding School, at Clapham Rise, kept by three young Ladies. The parents of the little girl are supposed to tie in France, and have not, for some time, remitted any money for the maintenance of the chill, in consequence of which she bad been ordered to work in the carder). perform menial offices in the house, and was not allowed to also. date with the other scholars. On Sunday*, when the boarders were taken to church sbe was generally locked up in the water closet, an I kept there for hours without food. The defendant's solicitor here asked the girl if she' bad sot been confined there for being a thief. The reply was, only for stealing victuals. In defence it was alleged, that the girl was perverse and disobedient, but the charge of ill-treatment was denied. The parties were held to bail to answer the charge at the Session*. Seams ACCIDENT.—Ibout half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon a dreadful accident occurred in the Vets-road leading front the Obelisk at the Elephant and Castle to the lron Bridge. The comer house of Melton Terrace, Borouga-rosd, fell down wllb a dreadful crash, and six of the workmen em ployed about the premises were buried beneath the ruins. One of ,them, a carpenter, of the name of Parker. (a single man), although every means to restore animation by the exertions of 4r. Coulthred, a surgeon, were immediately adopted. the spark of life was extinct. Another mail, who was dragged 1 1 out insensible, after being blooded, was taken home is a most dangerous state.

ItiCON.—T -e market has bees very heavy siemens last, nod pel^es are a little lower. But the nianu:acturers have nib coverjd, as usual, that the potatoe crops are short ; and this, in tbp a&oacer.of • better, will, by and by, be a ground for a new speculation. Oa board, 325. Lauded, New, 41s. to 435.;- o.d. finis. BUTTBIL—About fide time last year, an individual par ehallall more than 100,0001. worth of Sutter. on speculation; and a great many others purchased smaller quantities. induced by his example. it was found, however. that the stock was too heavy and prices too high, to admit of auy advance : and the speculation failed. And yet, wish prices gallons high, and the stock greatly surpassing that of last year. there have BOW been persons desperate enough to enter into extensive engage ments. If the consequences fell upoa themselves alone, they might be left to bear them: but it Is not so : a numerous class of indestrions men are Injured by their proceedings. In other brioches of trade the merchants employ the brokers ; but in this trade the brokers employ the merchants : nay, In some in stances, they set them going, aad keep them going, as long as they find them eseful, and then suffer them to fall back into their original insignificance. These brokers are meter fellows, and are every way qualified for making use of such instraments.— It is not an newsmen thing to hear them boast of their own gains, and at the same time laugh at the losses of the merchants. Under such circumstances. it is no wonder that prices else one day and fall the next without any apparent cause: and we shall not be surprised, even now, though every thing seems against it, if an advance take place before the end of the pre sent month. At the present prices every thing loses money to the importers; and upon all that is not fresh (and there is great deal that is not), there is a loss of full 7 per cent. On L heard.
