i= HOUSE OF LORDS. ZARie OF ROB5l F. STIRLINGII4 In this cause, which was at hearing sereeal ddys, Judgment has been postponed until the next Session of Parliament. SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS. Friday night a general illumination took place among the weavers sad their neighbours in Spite Melds and Bethnal . green, in eonsequence of the Bill being thrown out by the Coinmoos. Church-street, Bethnal-green, was completely *shocked op by the assembled multitude, so as to prevent carriages having a thoroughfare. Blue ribbends were worn by numbers, and most of the weavers had fines of menu '. teetered silk displayed from their windows. Toe bonfires, fire-works, and ringing of bells, were as general as if some great national victory lied been obtained, and many houses were decorated with variegated lamp.. Au immense num . her of the following bill was given away, and posted at the shop-windows of tradesmen :—" Success and prosperity to • the Journeymen Weavers and their Families; likewise to the House of Lords and Commons, and may they always do as much justice to every tradesman, as they have done to the Journeymen_ Weavers." The joy that was depicted In the couutenacces of men and women may be more easily con ceived than described; but amidst all the satisfaction they evinced, and the general expression of gratitude in eons.- quince of the result of their exertions. they maintained the. same good order, decdrum, and propriety of conduct that they observed throughout the arduous struggle for their rights and privileges; and of er perambulating the streets for a few hours, retired peaceably to their respective homes. Saturday morning the bells commenced ringing, and . large slags were suspended across the streets. At the win dows of nearly all the weavers were smaller flags of va riegated colours, wove into different shapes, which had a most exeetlent effect. The following bill was posted rotted • the neighbourhood:- -' The .I,urnes then Silk Weavers of Spitalfielde and its vicinity, return their sincere thanks to the Right lion, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Honourable the Members of the House of Commons, for their justice and humanity towable them, on the &dolts IStli of July, 1623. —God save the 'Clog." bigued by the Trade Committee end the two Secretaries. EXECUTION THIS MORNING. Yesterday the Chapel of Netegate was crowded to ex era, at an early hour, to witness the last public act of de eution of the three unfortunate men who were ordered for execUtiou this morning. Such was the anxiety to he resent at this solemn service, that orders were issned to numbers who could 'not be admitted. Mr. Sheriff Lucas and Mr. Sheriff Thompson entered the Chapel a little after 10. ti: hen the service was read by the Rever end Mr. Cotton in an impressive manner, who afterwards peer.. lied an appropriate Sermon from Numbers, chap. V, verse 23. Miles, convicted of passing forged notes, fell into a swoon, from which, ho 'ever, he was soon re covered by the attention of his companions in.misfortune, assisted by Mr. Deicer, aid one of the terakeys.— llurieg the communion service bin .feelings were again overpowered, and he fell u bile on his knees at the altar. At an early hour to-day, before the scaffold had been erected, a greet number or persons hail assembled in the space in front of the gaol, and before the fatal hour of eight arrived, the crowds of p-rsons that blocked up every avenue leading to the prison was greater than Ystittalupon such occasiorts. The windows and tops of the Louses commanding a view of the scall .1.1 were also thronged by p-rsona who ha , ' !slid a shilling each for their stations, in order to obtain an undisturbed view of the expiring struggles of their unfortunate fellow-crea tnres.—Great interest was felt for the fate of the unfor. tousle Miles, Cu...whom every exertion had been made to obtain a mitigation of his *rodent*, bat without effect. His father and toothier took their farewell of him last night, and a more heart-rending separation was never be fore witnessed a ithin the walls of Newgate. The offi cers of the prison to whom custom has rendered such scene. familiar, were moved upon this occasion, and the 'tars rapidly trickled down their cheeks. The wife of Roe also took her last farewell of her unfortunate bus hand, the separation was appalling in the extreme—her vervains, on being retnovol from him, pierced the inmost recesses of the goo'. 'About a quarter before eight o'clock, Mr. Sheriff 'Thompson arrived at the Prison, and shortly after proceeded to the Press !tom, where the wretched men were engaged in prayer with the Rev. Ordinary; Me. Raker, and the Rev Mr. Coombe, of Os wald, near Guildford, who, as a friend to the afflicted fa mily of Miles; attended to administer to the unfortunate youth the consolation of religion. The scene here was truly affecting. After having . hero disencumbered of thee' irons, and their arms pinioned, the unfortuna'e Miles. with his fellow culprits, John Welford, who was convicted of a burglary in Stafford Place, Pimlico. and Robert Roe, for stealing In tl.e dwelling-house of Dono van, a fishmonger, in Oxford -street, monies to the amount of 6001. seated theitiselves.un a form, while the Rev. Mr. Cotton, by desire of Hoe, read a Psalm from the New VI rsion, in a most impressive manner, to which they paid the utmost attention ; Miles and Roe frequent. ly lifting their eyes to Heaven, as the passages recited seemed to apply to their preaions course of. life. The eyes of all present were suffused with tears. At the con clusion of the Psalm, they arose from the seat, and said they were ready. Weliford seized the hands of his felluw prisoners, and exclaimed" God bless you 'They expressed themselves grateful for the attention that bad been paid to them by the ker. Or.linary and Mr. Baker, also to Mr. Sheriff 'Thompson and the Governor of the prison, fur the kindness shewn to them during ' their cutiffitenient. The ae fill preparation being com pleted, they moved towassts the platform. Ott reaching shethird ststern of the prison, the Bev. Ordinary com menced reauing that portion of the burial service, com mencing with, " I am the resurrection and the life," tee. The solemn toiling of the hell announced to the multitude without, the approach of the mournful procession. Welforel first ascended the scaffold : he conducted himself with great firmness and composure, arid said he sheuld die, imploring his Creattir,in the words of the Lord's Prayer---" To forgive us our trespasses." Roe next followed. Ile bowed to the persons about hitn a' d said, " trod bless you all." 11:s firmness never for - rook hies fur a moment. The unfortunate youth Miles now appeared weak, and agitated. Mr. Baker and the Rev. Mr. Coombe continued to pray will, him till the summons of the officer called him to his fate. He then shook hands with Mr. Raker and the Rev. Mr. Coombe. the latter gentlemen exelainsitig with much fervour— . eel e y christ in his infinite mercy pardon and bless you." Miles was greatly affected, and was obliged to be sup . ported to the platform; where, alter a few minutes had been spent in prayer, the signal was given, the drop fell, and the world cluse.l upon the wretched wen for ever. The Sabscription at Edinburgh in behalf of the Spa niards amounted, according to the last account, to more than b6O!. The treachery of Abisbal and Morino have no doubt greatly facilitate d the progress of the French, aral added to the embarrassment of the Spaniards in the provinces where they commanded ; hot Murillo has acted with more circumspection than Abishal, having taken the pre caution of gaining over a number of his Officers before declaring himself, who seconded him in a Junta or Coun-. ell of War. No one step was taken by Morillo,to oppose the advance of the French General Qoiroga goes farther than this, he stys that Morillo actually disposed his forties Wad; a way as-tu lay Asturias and Galicia open to then. Sir Robert Wilson remains ,in Corunna to audit the besieged. He is to have the rank of Lieute pant-General, as soon as the fourth part of the somber of the Legion (which is proposed to contain 10,001) men).

Estratt of a letter front Mr. Edw. litimphrevs, master of the New Harmony, from London, dated Cadiz, June 2.—" About half•past ten last night, a gang of robbers' or pirates, about 15 in number, well armed, carte on board, and immediately forced the watch on deck down the forecastle, and secured the hatch. About 6 or 7 of them malted down into the cabin, called for a light, when 3 or 4 of them presented daggers, and other weapons, to my hreast,—t hen detnanded my money, and said they would kill me. I gave them about II or 124 chiefly so vereigns, when they made me a prisoner in my state room, and placed an armed centinel in the cabin; some of them then went into the hold, and plundered near ly the whole contenla of 5 large cases of cotton yarn, and 2diags of Spanish wodl, and took away a hsrometer; they also plundered a quantity of the vessel's stores; took my watch, likewise the mate's, and most of my clothes and linen." MICRIORANDL:3I—The Nest Harmony arrived in the ri ver Isth inst. front Cadiz. The Gen. Kier, Manes, from Havanna to Cadiz, was driven onshore the 27th ult. to the Eastward of C..pe St. Nary's. and it was based the vessel and most of the cargo woald be lost. At the Norwich Sessions on Tuesday, Joseph Nichols Collins and Thomas Crowe were indicted for stealioj the body of Thomas Braudell, from Lahenhaul church yard. Charles Cooper, Esq. for - the prosecntion, addressed the Jury in a very feeling manner on the offence with which the pr:soners stood charged. Mr. William Blogg, the first witness called, stated that he was book-keeper to the Telegraph Day Coach ; at the office of that coach, boxes packed * up in canvas had from time to time, between Dec. INN, and Feb. 1e23, been booked f.r Lim Ion; they were of different weights, from 150 to 2001 b.; In consequence of some informa tion received from London, Mr. IJlogg gave directions to the porter, John Tee, that on another box being brought similar to the former ones, he should stop the person who brought it; on the 15th of Feb. another box was brought, and the person bringing it nas stopped ; he was questioned as to whom it came from, and his answ:rs not being *satisfactory lie was taken before J. Browne, Esq. the. Magistrate, who directed the box to be opened. The direction on the box was J. Roberts, Esq. London, to he left at the Flower Pot, Ilishopsgate Street, till called for. The box was opened in the coach office, and contained a fresh human body ; it was folded up in a very short comps-s, not more than a yerd bug ; and fitted very dolle into the box ; the body was nsked-4 it was afterwards removed with the box to the gaol. The body baying been proved to be stolen from tte grave, and evidence adduced to implicate the prisoner in tile offence. Mr. Preston, afterwards, in a long and labour,' ad-, dress to the Jury on behalf of the prison-rs showed the advantage and immense importance it was to science that subjects should be had for anatomizine, by which the structure of the human frame might be better under stood, and he commented at great length on the evi dence, endeavouring to prove it warn contradictory ; after which, the Learned Steward addressed the Jury, who, after a short deliheratbn, declared the prisoners both guilty, and each of them was sentenced by the Court to pay a fine of 501. to the King, and he imprisoned in the gaol of this city for 3 calendar months. CONSIDERABLE ROBBERY, AND CURIOUS Deems Privet Orrice.—On Tuesday last, a gentle. nisi) of the name of Swanzy, who holds a situation in the Civil Department on the lield Coast of Africa, and who was on leave of absence, and had come to this coun try.for the recovery of his health, arrived at Kingstown, liunleary, by the St. George rteam packet froa Liver lool. On his landing, his luggage was put into the uggage cart for Dublin, but between Dunleary and 'Upsilon's hotel, some prgfersos contrived to extract frow the cart, a brews mounted rose-wood writing-desk of exquisite menufieture. In the desk was a private drawer, containing a Bank of England note of the value - of 3001., aWI Bank note, three gold sovereigns, and ionic African silver coins, also two gold chains, a gold seal, two Bills of Exchange on the Treasury, for the amount of 921. each, two 'flora for ,301. each, another for 201. &c. &rt. Information of the shove robbiry hay ing breu given at the Head Office of Police, Mr. Farrell, Chief Peace Officer, directed a prompt , earch in quest of the property mid the thief; in the interim, a mot wht) gave his name as Thomas Murphy, offered a rose-wood writing-desk in pawn, at the office of Mr. Smith, is Capel-street, and obtained fourteen shillings on it ; the fellow came back in about half an hour, and asked Mr. Smith to let him have five shillings more on it. and offered, at the same time, to sell it to him.—This awakened Mr. Smith's suspicion, and he told him to call hack to him, and he would give him an answer. On the fellow going away, Mr. Smith examined the writing desk Minutely, and having ascertained, by shaking. it, that it contained something, discovered the private drawer in which the grea er part of the property, which hal escaped the search of the thief, Still was. The fel low returned at the appointed time, and was taken into custody by Mr. Farrell, of the Head Office of Police, who had been apprised of the circumstance. He has been folly cotmnittcd to Newgate to stand his trial at the next Commission. This lad sae tried at . the late amissleic and acquitted, - for horse-stealing, .He us pleaded bi 'the same of 11• Donnell, ' TH EATR I CA LS. ENGLiSII OPeRA Housit.—Mr. Raven appeared on Saturday in the character of Giles, in the Miller's Maid. The character is a difficnlt one. The situations are of strong dramatic interest ; and the feelings to be pour trayed require great powers. We bad some fears, tha t in a character, written expressly for the powers of HID?: ry, in what may be called domestic tragedy, Mr. Rayner might not he peculiarly happy ; but we are glad to say, that he disappointed ns most agreeably, and displayed a degree of talent that delighted the House. He was fully competent to the delineation of the character ; and his exertions were rewarded with the greatest applause.— The struggle with his feelings in the last sco.ie, where he surrenders his mistress to his rival, was pour trayed is a masterly manner. Miss K ar.Lv's Miller's Maid was all that it could be. A Mr. BRowN made his first appearance in Mail, Marvellous. lie has evidently comic powers; but he was not at home in the part, and did not make much of it. We must see him in some thing else, before we can make up our minds to the ex tent of his abilities. Mr. W. CHAPMAN played Nipper• .kin, in the Alva! ,Soldicrs, on Saturday. His comic singing is excellent, but there is hardly mellowness enough in his acting for Aripperkin. The excellence of Murmur in the character throws every other attempt into the shade. HAYMARKET TRCATRE.--On Saturday evening, after the comic sketch of Seeidg is Believing, in which Mr. W. Wes' displayed great address in the part of Simon, the rustic footman, who deceives his master by person ating a Scotch physician, we again witnessed the per formance of Sweethearts and If roes, and with Undimi nished pleasure. This is certainly the best of any of the novelties that bare been produced on the London stage for some time; although Simpson and Co. was a very gond thing of the sane kind. It is, besides, greatly in debted to the several performers for the very spirited way iii which the parts written fur them are supported. Miss Cantata WAS captivating throughout; but in the last scene she brought tears from every eye, except those of the critics, and we cannot vouclr for the firmness of the younger part even of that fr..ternity.Mr.Teititv's per formance was exquisite, and capahl • of sustaining a cum• '. parison with the most approved in Niels. Miss Lovii,as Laura, sung charmingly; but " Why are you wander. ing here, I pray," was given with an archness and a sweetness that were most rapturously received and loudly encored. Mr. Wttadtns seems to be rather out of his line in this piece, and to want more room to display his talents. Of LISTON'S would-be-sentimental waiter, we n eed say nothing, hut that he perforated it ; our dramatic readers will conceive the rest. The evening's 7 inueetnents terminated with N Killing no Murder," in Which LISTON and MEAT supplied the anal futid.of merriment. • ...I • 's THE VICE cHANcELLows coca D.. 11.) D.qe Josiv.%:—The Vice Chancellor, upon coining- into Court this morning, Observed that when an injunction had op a fornierday beta moved for, respecting' the 6th, 7th and Bth Cantos of Don Juan, by a learned Counsel, who was now absent, he had distinctly asked him whether any injunction referring to former parts of the same work bad been moved for and refused. He had been assured that no melt motion had been made. IL, had,howeveron impri scion r n Lis mind, th.t an applica tion for an injunction had been made to the Lord Chan cellor, and refused. If that wis the case, he should de sire the present motion to be repeated before his Lordship, nit appeared to him the last numbers Wete not ent.ticd to the protection of the Court, if that protection had been refused as to the original work—his Honor desired rbst the order he bad pronounced for au injd coon might b rescinded. Mr. WAREPIELD entered the. Court, and aesured Isis Honor that no application had been Made to the 1.nr41 Chancellor on the subject of Don Joan. The nantion before bit CO•Chip, and on which as injnrctiqn tv.o rt. fused, referred to the Poem, or Mystery, called Cain. The VICK-CHANCELLOR was satisfied. FAIRS AND MARKETS. ARUNDEL CORN MARRIT.—Wheat, 141. to 14/, IN, per load ; barley, Ur. to Sts.; oats, 29e. to 23e. per quarter ; t , 6s. ; pease, be. 3d, ; and beans, bs. Od. per bushel. CHICHUSTIR CORN MARRET.--The Inspector's returns this week were—Wheat, 595: 5d.; barley, 375. and pease, 425. per quarter. NORWICH, J ULY I9.—There was a good show of Sco'ch cattle at market on Saturday, but the buyers wero irry thin; what few were sold were at a little reduction in the prices. The sheep and lambs were also very plentiful. hut sold slowly on much the same terms as last week.—Cho pig pegs were thinly attended, but little demand for them. YARMOUTH, JULY 17.—We had a good supply of Wheat at' our Market'on Saturday, which met evreule dull sales at a reduction of full 2s. per quarter, and little or no business done even at that abatement. Scarcely any Barley at Market. In Oats, Pease, and Beans, no alteration. t y ". J ULY 17.—Our raarket continues well suppli • I with Wheat; and the finest qualities meet ready title et ■bout Is. pet• quarter lower. ln, Barley nothing doing. Oats and (leans rather lower, and in little demand. Flour is reduced 3s. per sack. The incessant rain which has fallen for the last three thy, and still continues, has raised the hopes of the holders of old stock, and in the same proportion depressed those of several of the-farmers. That the harvest will be much re tarded there can be no doubt, and the impression is very general that much injury has been already done. Priers here at present are merely nominal.. The state of ove weather bas not contributed, as it might be expected, to im prove the sales of Flour, which continues extremely dull. (Dublin Evenieg Pest of Tuesday.) SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE BUSHIC.—The following is an extract of *letter, dated Wexford, Jo!y -15 :—" On Monday, the Chief Justice left his carriage and mounted his horse, near Arklow; and on his way down the by-road leading to High Park, the seat of Mr. Beanman, where be was going to pay a visit. big hors. , stumbled, fell, and threw the Chief Justice on his head— a frightful accident for so heavy a man. He was prod?. dentially not hurt, but only stunned by the fall. from which he quickly recovered, and was enabled to proceed to High Park, where medical advice was huts , tly pro cured, and every attention paid. It was at first sug gested that he should be blooded, but the tnediaal gen tleman was of opinion, that it was unneceis.ry, and the ChiefJ notice W4S shortly enable.; to proceed to Wexford." —(Dublin Even. Mail.) The Pcl,4. it ai:pe Ira from the French ra?ers, has met with a serious accident. On the evening of the 6ili he fell, in rising from his chair, and fractured the neck of the femoral bone. He was alone at the time, but Ilia cries brought his attendants, and he was removed to h-. 1. The surgeons had not informed him of the fracture. 0.1 the evening of the 7th he WAS seized with a fever, and the follossing day it was reported in Rome that his Holi ness was in great danger. Tue Ness CoNricy.—The letter signed " Butler," extracted from the Fiveinan's Journal into our paper of Friday, has prompted a correspondent of the former jour nal to add to the.case the gratifying stalement that fol lows : " In the night of the 2:11 of June, Butler was talon prisoner at the bridge of Rathangan, in • proclaimed district of Kildare ; and the only account he could give of himself was, that he was a stranger, having no fixed place of abode, bat spendiog his life in travelling about ; that he had lately been in the Counties of Clare and Limerick, and bail passed from Garrylienden to Strad belly ; from thence to Monastereven, and from theace through Kildare and Miltown to Rathangan. " This was the whole case ; and the Conrt convicted the prisoner. Bet from his appearance and demeanour, doubts arose whether he was a subject such as the Instil.- rection Act was intended to operate against. Immediate and active ingniry was made, and the result snbitsittel, without delay, by Mr. Bennett, K. C., to the Lord Lieu tenant, who granted the prisoner a free pardon." We numb regret to learn, that at nne o'clock this morn ing, a large party of ruffians attacked the Dripsey Paper Mills, belonging to James and John Magney, Twelve armed men entered the premises, tied two persons who were in charge of the place, smashed to fritters a Patent Paper Machine, valued at i,200/., broke two large doors, and having demolished oth-r articl.s, rejoined their outside accomplices, with whom they retreated.— (cork Chronicle) Flag - --One day last week an warming tire broke out on the premiss of Mrs. Burford, at Willingham, in Cambridgeshire, which quickly commu nicated to Mr. Wright Few's and Mr. Holbert borne's, and threatened destruction to a considerahle part of that town, the neighbouring houses being ail thatched, and the wind blowing very strong, though somewhat kept oil by the church on the opposite side of the iv: O.—However, by the meritorious exertions of the inhabitants and the neighbouring villagers with four en gines, belonging to that and surrounding parishes, its *furrha sgreading was prevented. The three houses mentioned, with the out-buildings, were entirely cow sinned, and ve:y little of the furniture could be saved : indeed the inmates of Mr. Few's house had,scsrcely time to escape before the roof fell in, sod Mr. Ambrose, a butcher, who occupied part of Mrs. Barfurd's premises, was much barn in getting his children out. The whole dariage is estimated at nut less than 12!10/. SMITHFIELD MARKET, JULY 21.—There was a f 4:: market this morning of all descriptions of Cattle, para.; culariy of oxen, of which there were 501.1 more th .n this day se 'might. and the prices may be quoted rather lower except of motion, which is as last week. CORN EXCRANOI, Jut!, 21..—Tate as rival, of Grain la•t week were derate. There is a tolerable good supply of %V he.at fresh up this morning from Ess.x and Kent, but only limited arrivals of otk..z.kinds of Grain. The weather at present appears unsettled.
