e pule mums tip the evidence, he again, without a blush, without turning hie bead aside, without stammering more than usual, remarked,that,"it was the infamous conduct of "the public press which bas led to many ouch instances, for this is not a solitary one; and such practices cannot "be too much reprehended." Now it is not for us to say that this is infamous slander of the Press, by the sagacious Recorder; but we may, perhaps, be allowed to ask whether any man, possessed of eyes, ears, on understand in.T, believe: that there is any particle of truth in this abuse! We put it to Dr. Slop himself,—and no one wo uld believe a falsehood, or profess to do so, to screen an authority, sooner than the worthy Doctor,—whether he believes a ward of this learned censure of the press? 'nat.-sent() Judge, thus coming with his lance ready to .I.inrl at the press, so immediately after the endeavours of Lis snperiors to manacle it, reminds us strongly of Falstaff's Biting the dead Hotspur another stab, and then claiming Vie honor of conquering him. But then Falstaff was wiser than the Recorder ; for he made sure that the Hero was dead, before he struck him. The Press yet lives ; and having lived in defiance of a Jefferies, with a King and an army at his back, we do not think it is destined to perish the hands of air. Knowlys, though he be Recorder of Lcndon l in the nineteenth century. One important piece of rolla/ news from Spain is, the t Ferdinand had issiied a decree, authorising his Minister of war, A. D. Joseph San Juan, " to sign his name only San I s' Juan, for the dispatch of business." What the War Minister can have to th, in what is called a period of peace, slay surprise some people : hut it is certain that he will save employment eupagh shortly; and it may be prudent . 16 anticipate the nec. unity. To meet the wants of the IC burr, ail the public functionaries who can be dispensed *Stir, are to be dismissed. This will spread the discontent and A new movement will be forced upon the constitutional Indy, by the trevere measures which are resorted to against them i , The recent " reeberiliou" at Demerara is now under- stood to have been nert.hiag more than an ordinary riot, and bad proper inrortnlifion been given to the authoritlesi in the first instance, it wanlii have been very trifling in its nature. It is alio a qoestion whether the whole affair Iral not got np by the colodiets, to colour their professed fears of en insurrection, and to alarm the mother country from any further interference with the treatment of the slave popn'aion. When we find *else Let the slaves suffer on such occasions, his not easy to believe they meditated a vengeance which they did not inflitt when they Lad the power to do so. Smith, the Missionary, has been put on his trial ; and this, too, we think a parallel of the proceedings under the Sidmouth systems at home, when the best men were acensed, that the worst might escape accusation. At Barbadoes, the " reticle** colonists have pulled down themeeting•honse of a M r. Shrewsbuty ; aol.be bas been compelled to fly the island, because be was onspected of the borriWe offence of sending accounts to the Missionary Society, of the wretched mental coalition of the slaves." The invitation to the outrage was given by written placards, after an unavailing attempt to prevent Mr. Shrewsbury from preaching, by a serenade of all sorts of discordant instruments. A proclamation has been issued by the lover nor, offering 1001 reward for the apprehension of the offenders; but they reply that the " good people" of Barbadoes will know bow to punish those may dare to give any 'information. Such is the state of society among those who talk of the " sacred right" of "property is the flesh and blood" of their fellow creatures. An enquiry is to he made at the Escurial. by the King of Spaio, and his Ministers, " whether a full amnesty shall "be accorded to all who have taken part in the late politi• cal disputes." Surely this should have been done before the murder of Riego eh accomplished. A Morning Paper of this day, pats several questions of importance to Sir William A'Court, relative to bis conduct is Spain, as the Plenipotentiary of England; and which it l requisite should be answered , unless our Ministers wish it to be believed, that they have suffered Spain to become a province of France, because the Cortes would not consent to modify the Constitution, and proclaim a duplicate of our "eery and admiration of the world." with two chambers, end a precise copy of oar election mummery ! The Courier has been guilty of .tlie measureless folly of declaring that Thistlewood and his comrades merit a sessment as wekas Riego. Now this cannot be the case unless they opposed a Government as corrupt as that of Stahl ; and rulers as despotic and unfeeling. Will the Quoier admit this was the rase, or give op the argument ?I Private letters from Barhadoes contain accounts that a litissioury, of the Dame of Shrewsbury{ baring been sus. .pecled of having sent home to the Society by which he was ipiployed,statements injurious to the moral character of the lower classes of the inhabitants of the lased, the people Affected by them, first annoyed him tumultuously in the ebaeelin which he officiated, and the next evening pro. leveled to demolish the building. Though a proclamation lad been issued by Sir Henry Warde, offering a reward of •ia. for the discovery of any of the actors in the attack on 16 Meeting house, 111 r. Shrewsbury bad thought it pro deet to remove from the island. Yesterday s placard was posted in this city for the par- Pirm of procuring 200 seamen for a man of war.

StATESMA COURT OF CONI MON COUNCIL. (Tuts Dar.) PROPOSAL FOR THE UR iNT OF A SCITE FOR A 1110NUNIEN'l"f0 RIEOO. • In pursuance to the appointment of the Lord Mayor, to whom a requisition had been presented, for calling a meet ing of the Court of Cotnmon Council to take into consi deration a propasal for granting permission to erect a statue or monument to the centre of the amphi theatre in hloorfields, to the memory of the late lipanish General, Don Rafael del Riego, a meeting of she Court was held this day. It being the fiat Court in the Mayoralty, his Lordships proceeded from the Mansion House, accompanied by the Sheriff's, in state;iind it being usual for the new Lord Mayor, on taking his seat its the chair for the first time, to address a speech to the Court,Bc the ohje. t for which the Court was called being interes'ing and novel, a full attendance of the members took plree, and the space allotted for stranglers WAS crowd ed to excess. - - His Lordship entered the Council Chamber exactly at 12 o'clock, when the Members immediately rose, and his Lordship addressed the Coon to the following purport : He said lie had been called by the unanimous voice of his fellow citizens to fill the important place of Chief Alagis Irate of the greatest city in the world. In tile performance of his important duties he should have frecriently to pre. side in the assembly he now had the honor of addressing, and as long as he enjoyed that honor, be could, upon ever y orcasion,endeavour to promote regularity in the proceedings sepia, might be under their consideration. /le was desirous thatlmahoeld ieceive the support and counsel of hi s f e ll ow citi • zensin the discharge of the duties which inigtit devolve upon him ; withmit which, all his efforts would be perfectly unavailing. if he should at any time have the unpleasant part of his duty of calling members to order, he hoped and he pledged himself to do it at all times with out reference to political feeling. It was in vain his Lordship said for him to attempt to express his feelings on the present occasion, for the high honour that bad been conferred upon him, but it would he remembered that he took the Chair under circumstances different io some respect• from others who had preceded bindle did not take the office from fortuitous circumstances; nor did he push himself forward with a seeming anxiety to snatch at civic honours. He arrived at the situation he now filled, after performing other long and . laborious duties, and the Common Council would not fill to remember the exertions he had used in their Councils. There might have existed a difference of opinion, but as to the extent of labour, there could he no difference of opinion, for the:records and documents deposited in Hit archives of the Court were more numerous, as it respeeted his exertions than any other individnal in the same space of time. (Hear, Hear.) Placed in the situation he now stood, and having been a Common Councilman so long he would do all iu his power to promote regularity and harmony, and lie hoped to sustain the character and conse quence of the Common Council of the City. After some further remarks his Lordship sat down amid universal applause. A vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor was then moved by Mr. Deputy West, and seconded by Mr. Walker, which was carried without a dissentient voice, and ordered to be inserted in all the Morning and Evening Papers. After some discussion on the subject of the BridgeHouseEs tates, the Coal Meters. &c. the business for which the Meeting was called, was about to commence wbeu we left the Court.

Mr. listcur moved for anction to restrain the defendant (ruin disposing of, . 1 r parting with, the sixteenth. of a certain lottery ticket,or from receiving the money dne thereon from a prize in the last Lavery. The plaintiff, Mr. Kerrefl, lie stated was a hatter in the Strand, and the defendant, a Wine Merchant, in SriringGardens. Some days since the wife of the plaintiff being in company with the defendant, she proposed to him, or rather plaintiff proposed to her that they should become sharers of w sixteenth in the lottery. She consented, and and paid I Is. as her share. The ticket was purchased, and no further notice taken of it. Defendant kept the ticket, and registered it at the office. On the 14th of February the defendant called upon plaintiff, while in bed, very arms• ous to see him ; and when she saw him, proposed to share in another ticket, to which lie consented ; and lie then proposed to toss up, who should bold both the tickets. The plaintiff consented, and Lawless won the wager. In the course of the same day, plaintiff learnt the Lottery had been drawn the day before. and that the first ticket had come up a 20,01X1/. prise.— The plaintiff therefore swore, that defendant knew the ticket was drawn as he had registered it. This application, was therefore, made to prevent his receiving the amount from the Receiver General's Office, and to prevent him avail• iog himself of the possession. The COURT immediately granted the injunction. 14wasetated that Lawless would have received the cur ney to morrow, if the injunction had not been granted. OLD fAII.EY. —TiIs MORNING. Frederick Daley, Chas. Sambours, and Charles Ready, three decent looking lads, were placed at the bar on an indict • went. eharging them with stealing a quantity of flannel from the shop of Mr. Fawkes, of Glass !rouse street, Golden square. The property was subsequently found at a receiver's of stolen goods, named Phillips, in Crowe street, Soho, who has since absconded. The RECORDER desired the officers to keep a sharp look oat for him. The Jury, after a few minutes deliberation, found all the prisoners Uuilty. They were then called up for judgment. The RECORDER observed there could he no daunt whatever in the minds of those persons who heard the evidence against them, that they Rot their living by theft, and it would be necessary fur the safety of his Ntsjesty's subjects. that they be sent out of the country. They were then sentenced to be transported fur 7 years. Richard Long was indicted for stealing oo the 2Stb Oct. last, from the premises of Julio Summers, smantity of lead, his property. John Summers, a butcher in Skinner Street, Somers' Town, stated, that the lead in question lay in the yard adjoining the stable—it was water pipe lead. The prisoner bad done work for him. William Forty, an officer, took the prisoner in Crown Street, Westminster, at a Marine Store shop, kept by a man oamrd Carey. Prisoner was offering some lead for sale, and on witness attempting to search him, he endeavoured to get out of the shop. Witness threw him on his hack, and several small pieces of had fell out of his hat, which be said lie found in Russell Street, Bloomsbury Square. The ItSCORDER observed, that the only question for the Jury to determine was, whether the lead produced, was that stolen from the premises •of the prosecutor. There appeared if deficiency in the evidence as to its identity, and therefore the Jury, (however satisfied they might be of the prisoner being the thief) must acquit him. The RECoRDIUt then cautioned him as to his future con duct and told him that if he should make his appearance •Rain on a similar charge, be might depend upon being transported. ROYAL.

Bonrchier, Deputy Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper, gave notice in the Dnlslin Ga selte of Saturday last, 6th instant. " that the Right Hon. Charles Viscount Gort has been chosen to be the Peer to sit and vote on the part of Ireland, io the House of Lords of the United Kingdom, in the room of Richard Viscount Powerscourt, deceased." _ _ Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East In dia House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships, via. Captain John Barnet Sotheby, of the London, for St. Helena, Bombay, and Chins ; Captain Thomas Larkins, Mattress of Cam den, for Bombay and China ; Captain James Head, Can. ning, and Captain Peter Cameron, Earl of Balcarras, for Bengal and China. There was a sharp frost yesterday morning. The in dex in a night thermometer, in the Strand, stood at 29 degrees. The basin in the Green Park was frozen over, and the ice in some parts, am double the thickness of a crown-piece, but in others it was not thicker than hell a crown. About noon, the wind having chanted to the westward, a thaw took place, and by two o'clock three fourths of the sheet of ice had disappeared. This morning the float in the night thermometer stood at 37 degrees. The paragraph, to another part of this paper, regarding another voyage Intended by Captain Parry, is copied from the London papers. We do not think that there can be any hope new of accomplishing • North West Passage by Davis' Straits; and if Captain Parry is to go again, it will be for the purpose merely of exploring Prince Regent In let, and then he will be able to fill up a chart between the scene of his former and his latter voyage. We think that exploring the east coast of Spitzbergen would he an object worthy of this country. If there were a correct chart of that coast, the whalers might go there, which they dare not do at present, and perhaps discover as good a fishing station as at ISAffia'a Bey—( badcen Chronicle.) QUEEN SQUARE—(roils DAY) ELIZA ANTIIONV.—I% ai Britten Dyson. who was under sentence at the Old liailey fur the murder of Eliza Anthon7, having been liberated, iu consequence of the King s pardon,: cause to this office, and was received in almost friendlymanntr byithe Officers who had i had him in custody.

He was dresssd in,aJtandsome suit of blark,andflooked extrem r lywelLexcept that a sort of melancholy and dulness pervaded his coun- tenance. He claimed some pawnbrokers' duplicates, and other things detained from him at the time he was appre hended, and thanked the Officers for the care they had taken of him, olocerving„rthat; he had little :bought, of his ever having occasion for them again. After partaking of some refreshment at the public house, he took his leave of the officers, and departed in good spirits. WEATAIINSTEIt:TIIIEVICS AND WATCII3IIIN. A group of common thrives, ail very well kno.sn to the officers, wasjibrought up from the watch hone , charged with having made another grand attack upon the watch men and constables on the preceding night, in different ports of Westminster. During their examination it was elicited, that these fel lows about dusk sally out of their haunts in parties of five or six. Leaving a parcel of boys with their favourite girls, they begin to fight one another, and by this means attract the watchmen and constables to one spot, giving those thenhave left behind an opportunity of pltindering shops, old people, unproteCted females, and shrunken men ia the streets. In this manner alvast number of street robbe ries has been committed in Westminster during the last fortnight. But their plan having been at last discovered, the watchmen have roam to a determination to seize all of them found out at night under any circumstances, and the others dared the watchmen by rescuing their companions. The prisoners were all committed fur want of bail. RISE IN IRISH LIVE STOCK. CLONMIL, December 6.—On Wednesday last our monthly fair took place ; there was a large show of cattle, and many buyers; prices were good, particularly for fat cattle and pigs. Cows weighing about 41 cwt. brought from five gineas to six pounds; sheep rather low ; pigs Ma. per cwt. The late con tract has had a most beneficial effect upon the country. The fair of Dromcolleher, on Wednesday, was well stocked with cattle of all descriptions, and pigs, ■nd the buyers were also numerous. They were principally from the County IVaterford, and paid at the rate of from 335. to 355. per cwt. The Cork buyers did not offer so high, and' scarcely exceeded 325. The number of bacon pigs purchased • ded 400. Horned cattle maintained the late advance, and, in some instances, exceeded the price by 11. a head. Good demand for in calf heifers. The wetness of the day nitwit impeded the business of the fair. The fair of Six mile bridge, county Clare, on Friday, was cheering. to the farmers. Store bullocks brought Bge. a head ; and the few fat cattle which appeared brought prices even over the Bruit' rates. The purchasers were chiefly from Cork. The fair of Clonroail, on Weilsesdly was equally successful. Tbe seeking for pigs is still in creasing in each fair, and those that have been pnrchased were at the rate of 355. per cwt. and still looking up. The fair of Ballingarry, held on Friday, was at tended with buyers from all parts. Iteef and Pork' went off briskly. and at much higher prices than at any of the for. am fairs. That place in the Strand, long known, as a sink of filth and iniquity, by the appellation of Sloan Yard, bas lately been somewhat purified, and had its name changed to 11 eta Church Court. The change of its name has, doubtless, been effected for the purpose of redeeming its character; but the old proverb is against It—" the nearer the Church, thy Ratter from God r _,.,.~.

The andience at the Liverpool Theatre were amused last Monday by the performance of two gentlemen—being, as :t is presumed, the " first appearance" of rather " on any wage." In the ploy bill of that evening, it was announced that after the performance of Damon mid Pythias, " • frentleinari of Liverpool" would be found " At Houle" in m of Mr. MATIJIMS." When Dr.Johnion was told of Foote's intention to rite a personification of his figure, dress, anal manner, on ti ,e stage, " What (said be. turning to Tom Davies, tie informant,) is the price of a gool stick ?"

Salter's Ellen, and Mr.Humtut.'s Pedigree, made after the Hunters' Sweepstake at Bagshyt Heath on Tuesday, for 43 soy. took place yesterday, from the Bri xton mill, where the race seas run, to Maidenkead thicket. The hunters is the former race stood thus:— Rambler I 4 1 Elen 4 I 3 Pedigree ....3 I 2 The distance of the race is about ten miles, and much money was pending upon it. The view across the heath, over the eh ceropioent ground, on Windsor Forest, was grand, from the number of horsemen on full stretch. At Winkfield the compe titor► were lost on the narrow defiles, where they all separated, end encountered some daring leaps, in a straight direction.— Mr. Hanson got too much to the right, and was thrown out. — Mr. Hodson entered the thicket in the south west corner, t,,t lowed closely by Captain Salter. The race was to a selected half mile on the Beth road, crossing the thicket, and Pedigree won it by three minutes, followed by Capt. Salter. The ground was done in 42 minutes. TROTTING OVER SUNE/CRli COMMON.—A bay horse, the pro perty of a Gentleman in the Borough, was started yestereny for VO3 sovereigns, to trot in harness twelve miles in fifty nine minutes. Tne match was won cleverly by a m mite and a had within time. The American roan started on the same ground to do one mile in three min ges and six seconds, upon the trot, for St) soy.

The captain and crew are still under quarantine in the island; the captain is the only person sick. There were about 2000 skins and three tons of bees' wax saved from the wreck, which has beat sent to Kilrnsh, and lodged in the King's Store. We have to record a most frightful and melancholy cir cumstance that occurred on the evening of Wednesday last, as the people were returning from the fair—when a man of the name of William Grady and his wife Were passing the road at Glenary, in the County Waterford, and abont two miles from this town, they were carried away by the mountain flood which pours along the glen with such destructive impetuosity. Yesterday the bodies were found at Russelstown ; that of the woman was dreadfully mangled, and the cloths a were torn fr on the body by the stones with which it came in contar, and with many of which it was precipitated along. The death of this unfortunate couple was owing to the humanity of the man ; for before the Iluo3 hail acquired its overaheloi ing body and velocity, he assisted eighteen persons in. crossing this dangerous place ; when these were in safety, lie took his wife under his arm, and had not proceeded far when a sudden gust of wind sit an increased body of water swept them --- other persons--the Wi low Wail, of fib Dungarvair, and Edmond Tirreen, her serf drowned the same craning, as they were at Noir, near to, and as they were returning ft From the circumstance of finding a di piece where lirady's wife was found, it young woman, who is miss'ng, was drowi tnen►ng.—Brady was a strong, active, and .--(Clomnel &raid.) 111 t'''...:: i I •of wind and n awat•.
