.NOV. 2,3 laws called so loudly for punishment us might have fatly justified a sentence twice as heavy ; yet as Earthly pa.ver cloth then veal When mercy tempt:is justice," we do not regret the lenity that has been shewn to Mr. Carlile ; we hope it may have a proper effect ►:pon him, and that on his enlargement he will be determined to amend his life, to subsist by honest exertions. and nut attempt to acquire wealth by un dermining those hopes which in our heaviest. i.► our severest distress can alone afford us " that peace which the world cannot give." rule was granted to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against a Lancashire Magistrate for refusing a warrant against one of th e Manchester Yeomanry, who was identified as a par ticipator in the butcheries of the i('h August, so that we may now hope far a legal investigation into that horrid affldr. On Tuesday, immediately after the sentence %as pronounced on Mr. Carlile, a writ of !marl "arias was issued, to take possession of such of the defendant's property as could be found upon his premises in Fleet Street. In an hour afterwards property to the a.aount, us is sdpposed, of 6001. was taken in part sltistlictimi of the fines imposed on the defendant ; 4u1.1 on Wednesday morning the " Tem ple of Deism" was completely closed. Crowiti, how ever, at times collected round the door. Somebody Lod placarded a printed paper, with an obnoxious inscription, in tearing down which placard the Beadles were much interrupted and hooted by the populace. %Wednesday morning ut an early Lair Mr. Carlile was sent to Dorchester gaol to undergo the sentence of the Court of King's lknch. Sir Manasseh Lopes set off last Wednesday night, per mail, accompanied by a tipstaff, ti Exeter gaol, in pur•tiance of his sentence. .1 few hours before helot off, he received a letter from the Solicitor to the Treasury to infirm him, that unless the fine of 10,0001. was paid Lim the Crown-office within ten days, proceedings would be taken to levy the - Same. It seems the Solicitor to the Treasury had intimated to Mr. Franco, the nephew of Sir Malloisell, that such steps would be taken, in consequence of Sit noexp,rettd claim dieing made by the High Bailiff of W'estmi .sterot this fine. This was stated to Mr. Franco, b. way of apoiog% or excuse fir the eager ness thus inanitestetl to get this heavy line. The sentence was, that :•ir Manasseh should pay a fine of 10,000 i., be imprisoned 2 years, and be further imprisoneu until such tine was paid. Sir Manasseh therefore thtig!it, chat, according to all filmier practice. the tine need not be pail till the expiration of the two years. But itseems that a new practice commenced in the case of Mr. Wolti!, Who was fined for swin Sting transactions, that a motion was made. fur a !nun iwias, to prevent the removal or dispo sal of the ,turds &c ft the city, the only property that the at:fella:Mt possessed which could be made available tin the line. The same has been done in the ease of Carlile: and on :hese new precedents they attach Sir iimassela so early. By an iname• (Bate payment of 10,0001, it makes at least 1,0001. difference by the interest of 10,0001. for two years. Judgment was pronounced in the Court of King s Bench, tat Wethifsday, upon a bookseller named Joseph Russel, of Biriniogliam, who was convicted at the Lit Warwick Assizes of having sold copies of hone'., l'aroaics. The unfortunate man was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment in the gaol of Warwick. It undoubtedly is severe that Russell, should be ruined in property, deprived of his perso nal liberty, Irad subjected to a heavy punishment, for a•t act which, on three successive trials, was so leanly pruntruaced in a Court of Justice, by three highly-respectable Juries, not to be an offence vglinst the well being of the State. Counsellor Phillips's speech at the :Missionary Society at Gloucester has spread through this coun try, as also on the Continent. A singular occur rence happened to Mr Phillips, a few days before heattentled that meeting. While he was at Chel tenham, he was invited to (line ut a gentleman's a friend of his—at the table was a young lady, he tyr.s struck with her beauty, and paid his addresses to her, a gentleman presert had fir some time done the same ; the party all went to Gloucester the day of the meeting, and Mr. Phillips on the road offered the lady his hand. On their return, the Gentleman sent him a challenge, and the duty after the parties met (as has been laid before the public in the papers). The young Lady on Saturday last gave Mr. Phillips her hand, preferring his pleadings to a handsome settlement. A parochial meeting of the parish of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, was held on Friday last, to take the opinion of the parishioners on the late ea- Litnittnis proceedings at Manchester, when un ad ress to the Prince Reient to institute au inluiry was umaniwously agreed to. 'VIE NATIONAL REGISTER. A very singular oceimence took place at Ponte fract a short time ago, Mr. Pin-Move, of that town, ha virg suddenly disappeared. an advertisement was issued on the 30th ult. stating that he had then been mis-ing, 2O days, and offering a coasiderable reward to any one who would commumcate to his friends any intiamation respecting the fate of the unfortu nate individual; but in vain, till Thursday week, when three boys who were goiir; to Poatefract fair, accidently discovered his lill..dess body in a ditch near liadsworth, nearly covered w:th lea'ves, sticks, &v. A Coroner's Inquest was immediately summoned, and some suspicious circumstances having been fully and satisflietorilv investigated the verdict of the Jury tests—Died by the visitation of Go.l. The hotly was the same evening interred at Pontefract, by torch light, an awful instance of the uncertainty of human life. A dUring robbery was committed at Huddersfield on Satutday se'nnight. About three o'clock a per urn• decently dressed walked into the shop of Mr. pat ten maker, in that place, while a person was reading at the desk, and ranching over the counter opened the mom: drawer, from which he took out a poeket-ls 4,4; containing upwards of Ad. in notes, with which he walked off The shop keeper, who:e attention was more fixed upon ios book than upon his charge, had his slumbering sus picion awakened by the huaied steps wits which the offender. whom be took to he the owner of the shop, arts:tea his retreat, but not in sufficient time to prevcot his ese:,p:•. On the return ot• Mr. ll lingworth he found he had beat robbed, and from the description and dress of the person who had visited the slurp in his absence', suspicion fell upon James Wav://, shoemaker, of Upper Westwood Weavill was accordingly apprehended, and at first denied any koowledge of the robbery, but 4)11 being closely pressed he made full confession of his guilt, stating that he had hidden the stolen property in the roof of a barn, where it was found. The delinquent was on Tuesday se nnight brought before B. II Allen, Esq. and fully committed fur trial Elopemcql.—About twelve o'clock on Monday night, a young lady, heiress to a very considerable flirtune, and only daughter of an officer of high rank in the army, and also a Nlember of Parliament, e 105241 with a young gentleman. The latter is the third son of a clergyman who resides in Surrey, and is the father of a very large family The tn gitives set oft' from the west tint of the town, in which the young lady's fattier resides, in a chaise and four. Tires are both under .21 years of age The young gentleman had only jus returned from college 'file Continent is supposed to be their im mediate destination. A pursuit was commenced ua stain as the elopement w discovered. The Gazette of last night contains an offer of a reward of 5001. for the discovery of the person or persons who tired a loaded pistol at Me. Nadin, Deputy.. Constable of Maneaester, on Thursday night, the 11th instant. It is stated in the Paris Papers, that by a new regulation, which commenced on Sunday sennight at Calais, the r.nglioli Journals are charged postage as letters, by which the expence of them is tripled, the annual expellee of a Daily London Paper to Paris now amounting to 100 louis, at Tours to :100, and .t Marseilles to SOO. A serious uffiay took place last Tuesday night, between a party of the 4th Dragorm Guards now quartered in Huddersfield, and a -umber of the in habitants.-1; seems that a soldier went with his wife into the market-place, and stopping behind for some purpose, the woman proceeded alone towards a stall, when she was insulted with the most oppro brious epithets by several fellows who Etood near, and, we believe, was jostled by one of them.. Tile man going to her assistance was iminediately knock ed down. The alarm being given to several of his comrades .who were at hand, they ran to his assis tance, and pulling a stall in pieces, furnished them selves with weapons from thence, with which they laid about them so effectually as to clear the ground in a short time.—We regret to say, that two of the soldiers were severely hurt. A reward ot . 101. is offered for the discovery of the persons who cum. menced the affray. A truly singular occurrence look place at Burnham Market oil Monday laNt, which nearly cost the life of a person of the name of Townly, who was washing at the houseof a Mr. Folker, tailor and draper At the time of the accident, Mrs. 1 ., liter u.as m the wash-house with Nlrs.
