SALE OF SUPERANNUATED PENSIONS. COURT OP RICHIQUIa.—DUBLIN, NOT. !6. RUDDOCII o. NORTON. Ibis seas as action for mosey, had and received. The facts were, that plaintiff, a superannuated Rev •nne Officer. hid sold his superannuated allowance to a person named Datatenville, who had been regularly in the receipt of it several rare; plaintiff,. however, sought to revoke his authority Hautenville, and enter again into the receipt of stub ailoaraece, notwithstanding the sale and deputation. 'Weedier, Pro-collector of Excise, refused to gidy plaintiff. rod continual to pay plaintiff's. es ti/see, Raetenville; is consequence of which. plain tiff braneht this action. which was tried during the after sittings of last Trinily Term, and a verdict had for l'Arniiiant, subject to points: the chief of which came on to be argeed this day, which was, whether the Revenue 'allowance in question was saleable or not. Mr. Barmy, for plaintiff was besrd at ronshierable length, and contended that inehi an allowance as the pre -sent was inalienable—that it was given for the future support of the superannuated officer ; • and as well for the safety of the individual as well as the dignity of the Crown, it should not be saleable—that in the instance before the Court. the ofh.er was reduced to the greatest state of Indigenes from having disposed of his pension, and that the purchaser had long since been paid his purchase tiosusy by the many gales be had received. Mr. VOITCII.-1 he pension in this ease was valued by Mr. Bruce, a notary chosen by plaintiff himself, for that purpose. ',mimel for plaintiff then attempted to assimilate the present with the case of half pay °dicers. but the Court 'held there was a wide distinction between them ; one al leirance being given for the past services of persons not be again called into service, and the other to those who were liable to be again employed. Mr. Paulette, on baba' fof defend ant,cited the case of Walsh and Jittlief which had been 'tried in this Court, and was to the present. Baron Seim observed, that this was a most snequitahle action, inasmuch as the plaintiff had deputed a person to teseive his allowance, and then sought to have it again paid te The COURT unanimously decided against the point, and the verdict for the defendant stands undisturbed. In reference to the observation of plaintiff's Counsel, that the dignity of the Crewe would be better consulted by not allowing such pensions to be saleable. The LORD CHIRP BARON observed," that it would notbe for the dignity of the Brown to allow these superannuated pongees to sell their pensions, and afterwards enter into the receipt of them." ARREST OF A GRAND JUROR. (IROI4 Tilt CORK CONSTITUTION.) A cireumstmce occurred on Monday last (241 Nov.). which from its novelty in this patio( the world, the delicate s.atere of the case, and the respectability of the parties .c•mcernetf, has been the chief topic of conversation in this vity. • The facts, as we have been credibly informed, are teese :—At the usual hour for attendance, Mr. .Sheriff tante *as proceeding to the Court ; when at the door he was accosted by Mr. William Dreg*, attorney, who inform :rti him that he was wanted by the Grand Jury in their roam. Mr. Lawe replied th .t he wa.s.herried at the moment, and watered the Court to ascertain if the jurymen were is nttenJance t after which he returned to the door, where he attain met Mr. Gregg, who repeated his previous declaration • "• that the Grand Jury were destrotis for his attendance, and that they wete waiting for him " Sheriff 'Uwe immediately hittied tolls, jury room, accompanied by Mr. Uregg, and Item:iced at the door . ; et Which moment that gentleman put it writ into the Akin haw', and said that it was against jttr. William Beare, who was In that room, and insisted that he shoal i he immediately arrested. On the instant VII door wds opened by one of the gentlemen inside, aid Air. Orrin; endeiiroared to force in, tat the door, with much diffiesity, was closed'against him by the gentlemen inside. * Mr. Gregg„,then, with mneh warmth, addresse the Sheriff, and said he would hold him responsible foe the • amount of the writ, and again knocked loudly at the doer. Sheriff Lawe rep!ird that he was not aware of William Beare bang insist', not having seen him. The door was again opened, on which Mr. Uregg pushed in and exclaimed thew him to you, Sir ; there is Mr. Beare, Sir ; do . . yeurAuty, Sir ; otherwise, Mr. Sheriff, 1 hold you respon. • Mr. Win. Beare then rose up, and addressing himself to the Foreman, required his permission to leave the room. to which assent was given ; the Fcremso observing that " he stiould proceed with the Sheriff." Mr. Beare then retired with the Sheriff to the office of a respectable solicitor on the Smolt Mall. and entered the required bail. We feel pretry confidettt that the above is a faithful outline of this eN raortlin ary affair, which, from the delicate nature of the eri;iin of the writ, and the sabsequent proceeding, is likely, from what we can gather, to be a subject for the gentlemen of the, long robe. Mr. Wm. Beare, who is very y oun g , is son • of Col.. Beare. • At the opening of the Court, Wm. P. White, EN., the • Inventor% "of the Grand Jury, having privately spoken with tire Recorder, his Worship addressed Mr. Gregg, attorney, on the above subject, and stated that it bad just been o•ninntlicaterl to hint, that a member of the Grand Jury had 'been arrested in their room, on an action in a cause in which lie (Nlr. Gregg) was acting as agent. This, Mr. "Neagh, must know, was illegal, and the gentleman . must 'therefore be discharged. Mr. Gregg undertook to sheet the Recorder that the arrest was net illegal ; that the protection for a Grand Juror, to w hich the Recorder Minded, did not operate in the present case, as the Grand Jury died not at the time entered upon their business. The Rewriter declared, that the Gentlemaa must be im niediately liberated. With respect to the protection for Garet J urors, thq charter and constitutional law was clear that they lied • right to perfect freedom of person, which vothing should interrupt. even on their way from their residence to the Court. On the whole view of the case, be wilted his advice, that the gentleman shonhl be immedi atrly liberated, whieh,after some further objections by Mr. 'Gregg, was doge in th winner stated.

At eleven o'clock oh Saturday morning, the High Sheriff of the County, it. Sutton, Esq., arrived at Hertford, and immediately went to the gaol, where he was received by Mr. Wilson, the gaoler. He sit in the Counting House, and sent en intimation to Tburtefl. Probed, and Hunt, of his arrival. if they desired to see him. Tbertell expressed great satisfaction on receiving the intitnatiob, tad skid be was moat anxions tone the Sheriff, as he hada cOmmuttica tion to make to him. Thu High Sheriff immediately cote plied with his request,and repaired to Thu dell's apartment. where he had a long conyenation with that prisoner. Martell said he was glad to see the Sheriff, as he bad to complain of what he deem a illegal treatment oft the previous day. having been brought out by the Magistrate's to be exhibited to strangers, who he supposed came for matters of evidence against him. He said he was informed by his solicitor that the Magistrates had no right td ekhibit him in such a manner, and that he insisted on remon strating against such treatment. When he made this remonstrance, he was so impassioned as to shed tears. The high sheriff informed him that he was no party to the transaction to which !simnell alluded, and would represent forthwith to the Magistrates the objection which he had urged. Thurtell thanked the high sheriff for his reply; and the latter went without delay to the town hall, where the Magistrates were assembled in petty sessions. and repre sented the prisoner's complaint, when after mune discussion with closed doors, as usual, it was understood that the Magistrates had resolved, that in future. none of the prisoners indicted for the murder of Mr. Weare, should be disturbed or interrupted in any way; and also that they should be permitted to see any person or persons whom they thought proper. The gaoler was authorised to notify this resolution to the mho:sem On Friday nielit Mr. Harmer, the solicitor for Hunt, arrived la Hertford, and both then and yesterday morning had inter views with his client, who continues low spirited, alhough not so dejected as when Mr. George Nicholson announced to hint that the Crown did not mean to make use df his evidence, and that it was determined he should be put epos 'his trial.— Probert is also low spirited, sod has fallen away considerably in his person since his imprisonment. He is pleased at the alteration of the rooms made, on Friday. by the Magistrates, as Thurtell's late apartment, which Probert now occupies. hes afire place in it,which that he before occupied does not possum, a want that Thurtell strongly complains of, as he has only the kitchen fire to resort . to, which is common to the ward. Thur tell feels this loss psrtieularly,as in his former apartment he was enabled to keep his fire up until six or seven o'clock, and smoke his pipe without interruption. lie was very sullen, and apparently disturbed, and uncomfortable throughout this day, and since the raiment .when he was called out by the Magis trates, on Friday, to be seen by the coachman who drove Mr. Weare from Lyon's Inn on the evening of the murder. The manner in which the business on Friday was con ducted, was this 4—Mr. Clutterbuok and Mr. Mason came over from Watford on Thursday night ; and on Friday, in furtherance of a previous arrangement with Mr. Jenkins. the Solicitor for the prosecution, they entered the gaol at 12 o'clock, and shortly after were adMitted the witnesses who were assembled to identify (if possible) Thurtell and Hunt. Nene of the witnesses were of any particular im portance in the cause, except the corichman. • The coachman was sent into the inner yard, where Pro bert's apartment Was situated before his recent removal, and told to look among the prisoners, (there are several in the ward.) and see if he could identify atiy of them. Probed had nothing to do with this part of the investiga- tion, and was therefore, pending the process of conducting it, withdrawn into the gaoler's house. When the coachman was sent In to look at the prisoners, and evidently for the object of seeing if he could identify Thurtell as being the man who was 'supposed to have met Mr. Weare in Cumberland Street when he quitted the hackney coach, Mr. Mason and Mr. Clutterbuck bed the. irons strncks from Thertell's legs, that he should enter the yard without any designating mark to eievet attention. All , this time the coachman was looking among the other pri ssners in the yard. Thurtell then walked in between Mr. eintlerbuck and Mr. lieorge Nicholson, followed by Mr. Mason, the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, the gaoler, and his son: they formed a groape together, and promenaded the yard for ten minutes. The coachman moved backwards and forwards. and twice fixed his eye attentively on Tburtell. but without pointing at him as one whom lie recognised. He then I came out, and said to the Magistrates, 1 sees nobody there that 1 knows, no *hire.' When the coachman retired. Thurtell complained of the exhibition, as he called it, and said, " I think they have lost a link in the chain in their evidence, or else what does this mean ?"—Mr. Fenton has not been with him since Thursday; and iie still talks of the advantage he would derive from having Mr. Chas. Pea rs on t o assist in pre paring the speech which, he says, lie will deliver on his trial, and which he knows will relieve him from the heavy imputations with which prejndice has loaded him. He has been told of the seal which was found at Gill's Hill Cottage, with his initials; but lie positively denies having ever had such an article in his possession ; it is made of what the jewellers call " dead gold," and he says, he never had such a seal in his life. Nothing, however, seems to turn upon this article, as connected with the approaching trial. It isfinally determined that Thurtell, Probed, and Hunt shall be tried capitally: and that the evidence of neither shall be taken in the cause. The high sheriff, before he left Hertford, inspected the court house, and expressed his approbation of the arrange ments which have been carrying on under his auspices (for the visiting Magistrates have nothing to do with this part of the business), and particularly of the arrangement made for the public press. The Highs Sheriff, as the constitutional officer of the Crown, has the sole superinten dence of the Court House, lie being in fact the only responsible authority on each an occasion; and he has determined that the Gallery shall be thrown open to the public, without reserve, early on the morning of the trial. It is right at the same time to state that the Court is very small, will not contain shove five or six hundred persons, and must be filled at the first rush. KIRTIPOI,D. SUNDAY, N0V.30, roes O'CLOCK P.M. There is very little of interest to communicate respecting the unhappy inmates of the County tiaol; indeed very little imams to be said until they shall have been put upon their trials, and much of that which has been said would have been better spared. Thurtell, Hunt, and Probert attended the performance of Divine Service in the Prison Chapel this morning—all were tranquil and decent in their demeanour; but Probert conducted himself with paiticular reverence, attention, sod decorum. He is a good deal altered, but, although grave in his appearance, is not so much depressed as the Public have been led to believe. His Solicitor, Mr. Williams. lass not been here to day. The exchange that has lately taken place between the cells of Probed and Thurtell remains yet unaccounted for—it may be a mere precaution vary step ; hut from what I have heard, it would seem to indicate some degree of suspicion that Thurtell had specu lated upon the means of his escape. Mis apartment, now occupied by Probert, is almost at the entrance within the , interior wall of the prison. Nen which, it escape were at all practicable, it would certainly he more easy than from the place in which he is at present confined. The most cautious arrangements for security are still observed ; three persons are constantly w ith each of the three prisoners, two being always on the weld. Another person, as r sentinel, is inceesantly walking round the prison ; and these, it will be remembered, are • in addition to the ordinary number of turnkeys and keepers. Hunt, who appeared to be overwhelmed by the first intimation that he woold be put epos his trial, has re covered some portion of resolution. Mr. Harmer was to see him yesterday. . •Thurtell shed t , ars on Fri-Jay when remonstrating with bedsself and bis the Sheriff upon the exhibition of prisoners to the witnesses of Friday. • The Bills of indictment will be mat bike. the firmed Jury on Thursday, and are expeited is be te heal Friday morning.

Thnttell'a bankruptcy, issetabled;at the Chambert e in Basing Hall St. to a ge the final examination of the bankrupt. The room was crowded to excess, and several additional creditors appeared to prove their claim upon the bank ritpt's estate. The messenfer signified to the Cammissionere that Thos. Thurtell ivas confined in Newgste, la consequence of a bill of indictment having been found against hint at the instance of the County Fire Office, charging him with wilfully setting his house, on fire in Watling Street and that the keeper (Mr. Woatner) would nut suffer hint to late the gaol. Mr. Wortrana appeared, and said he had taken profei sional advice, and should not produce Thomas Thurtell on the present application. Mr. Havrem the Solicitor of the assignees, after consulting with the Commissioners said, that an application would be made to the Court of Chancery for a writ of Habeas Corpus to bring up Thos. Thurtell on a future day ; and that the assignees had determined to have the affair investigated as they believed the claim oa the County Fire Office was a good one. [We understand if the County Fire Office should ulti mately be compelled to pay the demand made uptin it by Thurtell's assignees, his creditors will receive ten shillings in the pound.] . COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WISTItiNSTER,Ndr. 29. The Loan Cuts► JUSTICE sat fatiNisi Prins. and tried several common jury causes, which were entirely destitite of interest.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, this was au information against John Hatcliff, the master of a vessel called the Cottingham, trading to Hull. and it charged him with making a false entry of his cargo, which, by the statuis of Charles the Second. he had incurred a penalty of 2001.; and .bad landed improperly a quantity of tobacco sad pepper, by which be was liable to a further penalty of 11101. By . the witnesses be would be able to prove the ship's arrival at Hail on the 16th of November, 1522, from Peters-. burg, rod after she had remained some time in the port, the officers found secreted In ♦arious parts a quantity of tobacco and pepper ; there were also marks as if tobacco had been removed, and it was reasonable to suppose that it bad been landed. The witnesses having been examined, Mr. BarortHuo.oca summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict against the defendant, in the pe nalty of 2001. on she brat connt. Pfli.l CF. ANOTHER EXAMINATION OF MRS. STANTON. HATTON OARDITN.—On Saturday morning, Mrs. Stan ton was brought to this Office, for, as was g Ily thought, final examination. It however proved otherwise, as its result was her being remanded back again to the New Prison. Considerable conjecture is afloat as to the cause of these repeated exatnivations. The examination was conducted in the Public Otlie, from which, however, all reporters were excluded. The only witness examined was Mr. D'Arcy Bolton, the House Surgeon of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, who sim ply gave evidence to the fact of a patient having been introduced to their care on the 12th of October ultimo, whose condition was as before described. The wound was .dressed, and the man put to bed. In his opinion the wound was of a nature not likely to prove fatal with common surgical assistance. This witness was bound over in a recognizance of 401. to give evidence on the trial. Owing, it is presumed, to the indignities offered to the prisoner on the last exatniration, she this day came up in a coach, which was kept waiting till the close of the investigation, when she again returned to the prison by the same conveyance. Considerable numbers were collected to witness her departure. Questa SQUARE.—On Saturday there were great numbers of non•cowusiesioned officers and privet:s of the Foot Guards brought before the Magistrate', conformably to the new regulations, to be sworn in. The men for limited service, under Mr, Wyndham's Act, were re-attested for life; and those whose services entitled them to pensions, were likewise sworn to that fact, instead of their going before the Board of Commissioners at Chelsea, as Isitherto, to be examined. Thus an additional duty is imposed upon the Magistrates, but no saving to the country is effected ; because pensioners and their families, in coining to claim pensions from all parts of the United Kingdom, usually travel by p , and also in returning to their own country. In lepentlent of this, it is no saving to Chelsea and Westwin■ter—places always liable to maintain those people as casual paupers, and sometimes their children becoming chargeable to the said parishes by their birth. Amongst the group who now appeared was a veteran who had been 33* years in the service, and who during that time had been in all the principal battles in which the Guards had been engaged in active service. This man had received 43 sabre wounds at the battle of Waterloo, where he was suddenly cat off from the wing to which he was at tached by a party of Frenchcuirassiers, who surrounded him, bat be b:avely defended himself with his musket, and hellixt their horses, till the stock of his piece was nearly cat to pieces, and the chance of war pat them all to flight. AN EXCISEMAN COMMITTED POE PICKING POCKETS IN TIM COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Saturday forenoon the business in the above Court was ex ceedingly interrupted by a cry of " Pickpockets, where the of ficers;'• presently a man of very respectable deportment, at tired in a suit of black, was carried out vi ct armis by the au ditory, who charged him with picking the pocket of one of the gentlemen forming the Jury, of a silk handkerchief ; when on being placed at the bar, he gave his name Henry Gillen, hold ing a situation In the Permit,depertment, in the Excise office in Broad street, and residine in Snow's Fields, Southwark. Mr. Henry Cooper Woodhouse, residing in Oxford street, stated that on that morning about 12 o'clock, he was standing in the Court of Exchequer. There were several gentlemen behind him, amongst whom he saw the prisoner. Whilst standing there he felt his handkerchief taken out of his coat pcicket. Witness made the robbery known, and the prisoner held down his head as if to look on the ground for it. lie then appeared to wish to leave the Court, but before he did so, some gentleman detected him with the handkerchief in his posses sion, and culled out " Here's your handkerchief." Witness turned round, and saw his kercaief in the gentleman's hand, who had the prisoner in his custody. Mr. William Watts, surveyor in his Majesty's Excise• sta tioned at Eticorn, in Kent, saw the prisoner attempt to leave the Coutt. He instantly seised him, and took the handkerchief from him, anti called for an officer. (The handkerchief was here sworn to by Mr. Woodhouse). NVitness cootintied,—the handkerchief was twisted round his wrist, and he appeared to wish to conceal it up higsleeve.

The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the desideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with liar pines on earth, but disposing the soot itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed - obli gation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of sueh attention are attributable, many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the conimiseration of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.
