Ity the Paris Papers of Sunday we learn that the amend ment of M. Roy, on the Law of Indemnity, was rejected by a majority of 127 against 100. The unpopularity of ONARLES X. is admitted indirectly by the Royalist Journals, who ascribe the universal silence with which be was received in traversing the streets, on t:te anniversary of his return, to the absence of that false sistem by which the cheers of a hired multitude were bought by the Police under the Empire. Six months ago, however, no monarch Was more applauded in public than the present KING of FRANCE. Why should it be other wise now? The Laws of Indemnity and Sacrilege would perhaps furnish the most correct answer. These Papers contain some further details of the myste rious assassination of M. Conant, but the officers ofjus ti‘e have not yet succeeded in rraking any discoveries as to the criminals. An old servant of the deceased is in castody on suspicion. The news from Spain, in the Eloik, relates principally to the sentences passed upon the Ex-Regidors of Madrid, under the Constitution. The Spanish Government is about to commence at least one undertaking of unquestionable wisdom ; an establishment for naturalising the growth • cochineal has been formed under the Royal patronage. is se in chi. Thiy, from her own resources, that Spain must supply the loss of her transatlantic colonies, and she will find herself shortly richer without them than ever she was what she had them in subjection to her. 'rhe recognition of the independence of the new Ame rican States has excited some irritation, it appears, at Con stantinople. The Turkish agents, however, continue to threaten what prod;gious evants they intend to accomplish. According to them the Greeks are already half subdued with apprehension. After the presentation of a great mass of petitions, chiefly against the claims of the Catholics, the Order of the Day was yesterday moved for the second reading of the Bill for removing their disabilities. While the petitions were fartheorning, Mr. 800 cG HAM took occasion, most unjustly, as he was afterwards obliged to confess, to make a very gross attack on a petition from Grantham, presented on a tormer eVeninz.r. The lion. and Learned Gentleman de scr.bed the majority of the petitioners as belonging to the lowest and most abandoned classes of society. He pro ceeded with the greatest minuteness of detail through their supposed characters, and held them up to the mingled con empt and hatred of the House. Su brutally ignorant were laB of there individuals, according to kis statement, that their only mode of marking their abhorrence of the Catho lic religion consisted in signing their names by means of a cross. Mr. Secretary Pitt, in great measure, destroyed the impression intended to be produced by this statement, by examining the petition, in which he found only one Dross, instead of 198 ! But before many other petitions had been prevented, Lord NT:GEN r, who had volunteered a corroboration of Mr. Boot:GNAWS story, rose to acknow ledge that they had been misinformed, and accordingly that they wished to retract all they had said on the subject of petition. Mr. Boovonow himself next admitted that V. ",statement was almost in every particular incorrect." This was perhaps as well-qualified a mode of declaring the falsehood of his pretended information as we could expect under the circumstances from the Honourable and Learned Gentleman ; but we trust that the next time he may think fit to complain of the impositions that are attempted to be practised upon Parliament, be will, especially as a profes sional man, consider himself bound to examine the evi slence on which he presumes to indulge in such scandalous in:pi:halo:is on the characters of those who happen to differ from him in their political opinions. The debate on the Bill was opened by Mr. Baowictow, who was generally called upon from all parts of the House. The Hon. Geu- Cernan, who has hitherto been one of the most strenuous opponentz of the Catholic claims, avowed candidly that the .viiet:ce and arguments he hat lately heard had induced trim entirely to change his sentiments with regard to the question before the House. In his opinion, the cha racter of the Roman Catholic religion itself bad been 90 modified by the progress of knowledge, that he could scarcely recognise its identity. The condition of Ireland, besides, was such that it could not remain as it was, and as it was impossible to go backward by re-enacting the old systera of penal laws, it was necessary to go forward on •the principle of concession. The only objection he felt so the Bill was, because it did not include the provision ;sr the Catholic Clergy, and the disfranchisement of the fri.-ty shilling freeholders. These measures he considered isdispeorible to the petmaneut tranquillisation and welfare of Ireland. The lion. Gentleman was listened to with great attention throughout his speech, and cheered loudly on its cur:elusion. Mr. BA, sea decidedly opposed the Bill, and the accompanying measures, in his judgment, rendered it more objectionable still. If they were carried it would be impos sible that the church property could continue as it existed at present. He moved, therefore, as an amendment, that the Bill should be read a second time that day six months. The amendment was seconded by Mr. W. Y. PEEL. Tin other speaker:: in favour of the Bill were Colonel liaorfcr.i., Lord Mt Li us, Mr. NORTH, Col. FORDE, its ES DALI and Sir N. COLT HERS'T. The amend firsilt was supported by Mr. DAWION and Mr. Gout.- itUP H. At one o'clock this morning the debate was ad :;ourol till to-morrow. This day his MAJESTY holds a iev.e, at which, we undets:ard, it is intended by the Ca triolie Deputation to present the Address voted to his M a . :ESTI at the Aggregate Meeting on Thursday last. There iviAl therefore probably be no Hou: - ie this evening. CITY, TUESDAY EVElliwo.

The trial of the municipality, which has engaged the attention of our capital for eighteen months, has just been terminated. The final sentence was made known yesterday, and seems much less ri gorous than was expected from the speech of the Fiscal. Only one of the accused, M. Lunadrid, is sentenced to confinement. He is sent for two years to a convent (La Cabreea). The Duke of Abrasins, the Count of Allamira, and M. de Car. vajal, are to return to the place at which they were before they were brought to trial ; but the following restriction is given for the two fint:—" Unless they receive permissien horn the King to remain at Madrid ;" and for )f. de Carvajal, " Unless he obtain from his military superiors permission to remain at Madrid"—and he has this permission. The Count de Nablijas is exiled for six yam from the capital ; the Marquis de Corralbo, and the Sieur de Rubianes. are exiled for two years. Most of the other members of the municipality have received similar sentences of banishment. Those of I8!2 will also be required to point out the place which 'thee will choose to pass the time of their exile ; and they will re main there under the surveillance of the Magistrates. The members of the Municipality of 1821 are severally bound to pay sixty thousand reals for the disbursements which they ordered I to be made on the occasion of the attack on the Hotel of the Gerdes du Corps ; and those of 1822, four hundred thousand reale fur the money spent on the 7th July. M. Jandeacs and others are declared purely and simply included I in the pardon. San Martin is acquitted. All the other accused are condemned to pay the costs. The Coast de Subteen'. Ambassador from his Most Faithful Majesty, had the honour to deliver his credentials to the King on ' vie 3d of this month. The value of the cochineal gathered in the province of Osaca, in Mexico, used to amount, on an average, to two millions of piastres annually. The Government. convinced of the immense advantages which the Peninsula would derive from the cultivation of this pre- clout dye, has resolved to assist as mach as possible Don Martinez Torres, who has just formed, near Malaga. an establishment for the purpose of naturalising the cochineal in Spain. It having been proved by several examinations that contractors for the Royal armies during the war against the usurper Joseph have been paid more than what is lawfully the* due, the King has ordered that all payments exceedina the proper amount shall be charged to the chiefs of the omces of liquidation, who hart ordered them to be made. ODESSA, 61.taeu 26. Our letters from Constantinople, of the 18th instant, confirm what we before knew relative to the profound impression caused in that city by the news of the recognition of the States of South Ame rica by the British Government. It is expected they will also re cognize the independence of Greece. The Reis Effendi is highly irritated with Lord Strangford. That Ambassador will not return ; there are more reasons than one for supposing so. PARIS, APRIL 17. We have just received t letter from Constantinople of the 16th March, with the following news:— " Ibrahim Pacha In: Suds the 19th (Feb.), with 38 vessels, 4,000 infantry, and SOO cavalry, for Illodon, and after effecting a landing, was to send back the easels to Suds, to join five or six 'frigates which parted company with the fleet in bad weather, on the passage from Carstnania to Suds, and did not arrive till Ibra him Pacha had sailed. They had 7, 000 or 8,000 men, which they were to land in the direa as soon as they should be joined by the i vessels sent back by the Visir. ** There is no news of any movements that the Greeks may have Ihade at the time of this expedition of Ibrahim, or since. "All Thessaly, from Larissa to Verdes, was subdued; the Albania Captain. Diamondi, and his band, had recognised the authority of the Porte, and the Roumeli. Valenti had already his I head-quarters in Albania. " The armaments in the arsenal are proceeding with an activity which would be remarkable even in the dock-yards of Europe; but the Capitan Pacha's plan for the campaign is still uncertain. Some think Samos will be again attacked, others that the fleet of Constantinople will merely endeavour to keep the Greeks in check, without undertaking any thing serious against them to favour the operations by land." The King is expected to arrive a little after ten o'clock this morning at Carlton Palace, from Windsor. The Duke of York left town for Newmarket, to attend the races, yesterday. Yesterday the Princess Augusta took an airing in the Parks, &c. The Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and the Princess Matilda, visited the Princess Augusta yes terday. The Duke of Gordon has been chosen President of the Inverness Institution for promoting literature and science in the north of Scotland. His Grace the Duke of Athol, it is stated, has disposed of his interest in the Isle of Man, and of course his patron age. Three General Officers of distinction have applied for the highest situation in the Island. The licensing system, it is added, will be clone away with, The Earl and Countess of Harewood will give a grand dinner on Friday next, at Harewood House, Hanover square. Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Saturday:—" The laws for the indemnity of the emigrants and the conversion of the renter, that of raccrfe . ..m, and the general conduct of the Government, are struck with a popularity so increasing and so undisguised, that when the King took his prome nade through Paris on the 12th of April he was everywhere received with mournful silence. The Government shud &re a little at this universal disapprobation ; but such is its obstinacy, that it continues by intrigues, menaces, and deceit, in acc urs which must, sooner or later, bring about a r.neral commotion." THE HOLY ALLIANCE. —The Honourable Leycester Stanhope, who has distinguished himself by his exertions in favour of Greece, having passed from Genoa, where he had resided for some time, to Milan, was ordered by the Austrian Police to have the Austrian territories in 24 hours. The pretence was, that his passport was signed only by the Austrian Consul at Genoa • but that this was a futile pretence was evident from the fact that he was permitted to pass the frontiers (where the examination of passports is ordinarily the most strict) without difficulty or observation. The whole affair has probably originated in the hatred borne towards Colonel Stanhope, as the friend cf Grec t. independence. We have received files of the Jamaica Courant to the 3d of March. They contain no intelligence of public interest. The Session of the General Constituent Congress of Mexico was closed on the 24th of December, with the ac customed solemnities. Their labours were terminated by a sitting continued until three o'clock in the morning, when they invested the President with powers of a nature so comprehensive, that they can be compared only to those of an absolute monarch. Various reasons are assigned for these extraordinary proceedings. Some persons suppose that they may be attributed to the suspicious movements of General &titans, in the province of Yucatan. The last American Papers contain letters from the Sand wich Islands to the 19th of September, stating that a war had broken out in the island of Atoi, where a son of Pitt, the Prime Minister, bad assumed the office of Governor, to the exclusion of the late King Reo Rio's son. The latter, in revenge, it is said, had shot a white man, the confiden tial adviser of Pitt. A general rising is said to be the re sult, and that 1000 men had proceeded from Owhyhee, to quell the insurrection. AMERICAN PRESIDENT!. —OnIy two States of the Union have furnished Presidents, viz.—Virginia and Mas sachusets ; and of the first three Presidents, brit one had a son, who is now elected President, during the lifetime of his father.—Philadelphia Gazette. BRITISH SETTLER! IN NORTH AllEßlCA.—Friday a public meeting was held in the Trades' Hall, Glasgow, for the purpose of forming a Society in connection with the Church of Scotland, for the purpose of sending ministers, teachers, and catechists to the British settlers in North America. Earl Dalhousie was chosen Patron, and Mr. Finlay President of the Society ; and Sir M. S. Stewart, Vice-President. _ A meeting of the United Parishes of St. Gregory and St. Mary Magdalen was announced to take place yesterday, few the purpose of petitioning against the Roman Catholic 1_ I dins. When there were about 1.5 persons assembled the Rector took the Chair, but Mr. Hureombe pointed out that the meeting had not been convened according to the provisions of the Act of ISIS, regulating parochial meet ings, and no petition was proposed. A new private road is now making for the convenience of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It is to run from Stanga:e, at the back of the Mitre, to the back of the Sawyers. The road will then extend over the gardens to Lambeth Palace. It is said the tower used as a prison for the Lollard', and refractory Ecclesiastics, is to come down. This project, under judicious arrangement, might he made highly advantageous to the public. The walk on the banks of the river will become a beautiful 17noir, is ease it should border a gay public road lead -1:::ef the grounds of Lambeth Palace to the main road. It is understood that considerable improvements are in contemplation, and that a carriage -road, which has been long wanting. will be carried from the foot of Westiniu shr-bridge, through Lambeth, to Vauxhall.

The quarrel originated in the Pit at the Opera on Saturday night, respecting a lady. Mr. A. received his adversary's ball through the fleshy part of his arm, and the affair terminated. A letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer, dated April 13, says, as several workmen were yesterday engaged in pulling down au old building in the Rue tits Minimes, whilst others were occupied in excavating the ground underneath, for forming vaults, the whole mass fell.

The Company present to-day WWI chiefly confined to the sport. ing circle, but the sport was not so great es was anticipated, four of the Races being either off, or walked over for.

R. but entered in the trainer's name,) and Lord Orford's Census colt, and which was for LenOgs. tested of 200 gs. as stated in the list, we are informed that his Lordship offered 5.50g5. to be off. which was not accepted, and that his Lordship has won between 1 and 2.000 by the race. His Lordship, some time since, is said to have grown tired of rating, but we hope the event of this day's match will stimulate his Lordship to other adventures on the turf. After the race between Rufus, Teasdale, and Lionel Lincoln, great numbers of sporting characters followed Rufus from the Iv( ighing house, at the turn of the lands, and all declared him to be one of the finest horses alive. He has now done all his work till the Derby, in the greatest style, looking as well after his race to-day, and apparently as little distressed as if he had been only taking his customary gallop. The match between Cedric and Disarm made a very excellent race, and both before and during the running the betting varied very much. Bizarre took the lead, and made severe play, Cedric just waiting in his quarters, and in running by the Bushes, Bizarre finding that he could not shake off his adversary, endcavilured to improve his pace, but he was already at the top of his mark. 10 to 1 on Cedric at the Bushes, where he came up, and won by a length cleverly, amidst the reclamation. of his friends, thus giving an additional proof of his superiority. The other two races were won easy. In the course of the after. noon and evening some heavy besting took place, the odds settling as under : 2,00005.

COTTON.—The market was very quiet last week until Friday, when a very a imated demand sprung up, which continued on Sa turday, meetly on speculation, although some large parcels were taken for the country. In the beginning of the week a few hundred bales were sold at id. a id. reduction from the former highest prices, but this has been tully regained, and Surats of good quality may now be quoted rather higher, and decidedly so for low and very or. dinary. The accounts from Liverpool yesterday, stating that 15,000 bags Cotton were sold on Saturday, at an advance, produced ■ great sensation in this market; the demand became exceedingly brisk. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 16. The arrivals of Cotton have been considerable this'week, amount ing to 36,818 bat,- Our market was in consequence rather dull until Thursday, and the prices generally declined id. a id. per lb. The demand from speculators was then resumed, and has since continued in a most animated manner, the prices again advanced, and now rate id. a Id. per lb. higher than last week's quotatioos. The postscript to the Liverpool letter states, that on Saturday evening about 15.000 to 16.000 bags Cotton were disposed of at a considerable advance, making the total sales of the week in that market nearly 50,000 ugs Cotton. COFFER—Towards the close of last week the Coffee market gars way considerably, without any business of consequence being effected, either by public sale or private contract ; St. Domingo was offered freely 70s. a 725., and one parcel for money sold at 68s. but the market immediately rallied, and the quotation was 70s. a 715., and looking more firm than tor a length of time preceding. The descriptions suitable for home consumption, were much in quired after, but no sales to any extent were repo rted. This day's public sale of Coffee attracted great attention from the quantity ad vertised, and also the anticipated establishment of the market prices, which lately has been nearly nominal; it consisted of 1211 casks and 114 bags British Plantation, 2,138 bags Foreign St. Domingo, of good quality, sold at 655. and 665. ; a parcel from Dunkirk sold 633. and 64a. ; the Brazil, very good quality, out, no offers • the British Plantation consisted of middling Dealers's, sold 24. a 925. good, middling 955. and 965. ; good middling Bee. bite, out at 100 s.; a few good and fine ordinary Jamaica 655. a 965. 6d. We estimate the decline generally ss. per cwt. from the nominal prices of last Friday; the price of St. Domingo and Dente rare may be considered established at the reduction we have men tioned : all our other quotations must be considered entirely nomi. nal. The reduction generally Bs. a 10s. since this day week. SUGAR—The Sugar market was hears , during last week, and t' ough few Al tiscovades were offering, yet the sales effected were at a further 'Auction of 6d. a Is. per cwt., brown Jirnsicas were sold at 63.. The very considerable arrivals reported tends further to damp the Sugar market ; it is very heavy to-day, but without any further reduction in the prices; brown ismaicas 63*. ; St. Lucia 61s. ; the Sales of 3luscovades reported during the day are very iticonsolerable. The Reffoed market became rather heavy towards the close of last week • brown Lumps were o ff ered freely at 84a. but few buyers appeared. Molasses were 2145. The Relined market to-day continua very dull ; brown Lumps are heavy at 84a. ; mo lasses dull at rid. ; inconsiderable parcels reported at 28s. 64. In Foreign Sugars no sales by private contract were reported; and the market looked particularly heavy. RUAL BRANDY, and !JOLLA NDS.--The Rum market was in a very languid and depressed state last week, till the unexpected declaration by Government of 138,000 gallons Rum wanted mule diately ; the market became firm, and the previous prices would not Se accepted, but no sales were reported at any advance. Brandy and Geneva remain at the late nominal quotations, no sales to any extent lately reported. The houses who usually tender for the Go. vernment contracts are at a great loss how to act respecting the Rum on Friday ; the uncertainty as to the duty keeps the market in a nominal state, and renders their offers to Government a greater ayeculation than usual. sALTPETRE.--Saltpetre is rather lower; the nearest quotation 225. n 30s. . . . . SILK.—The prices or Silks arc without satiation ; there are few sales lately reported. IRISH PROVISIONS.—The demand for Beef and Pork is steady ; the prices without variation. Bacon has been in good demand. The prices of Irish Butters are maintained ; Dutch is 1141. HEMP, FLAX. and TALLOW—The Tallow market conti nues in a very depresved state; the nearest quotation for the new is 37... and for arrival Sits. Hemp is steady at W. lOs. to 421. Flea little varied. . . .......- INDIIIO.—The India We, consisting of 32'27 cheats Indigo. finished the 15th ir %taut. The fine and good shipping sorts of Indigo sold from M. a 9d. per lb., and the middling shipping from 3d. a lid. per lb. lower than last sale • and the consuming kinds from last sale's ptices to Is. per lb. lower. The fine and good filatlnis went from Is. a Is. 9d. and the middling and ordinary from Gd. a 9J. per lb. lower. The n.iddling Oude sold front last sale's prices to 6d. per lb. higher; and the low and bad about last We prices. There being, comparatively, but few orders for this sale, many of the proprietors, unwilling to submit to any decline in prices, took in their marks at last 111:C II prices. It may be calcu. lattd that nearly two-thirds have been bought in. That is no alteration since the sale. DYE WO(.itii. —11;e prices continue entirely nominal. Mt:E.—Two public sal . took place last week ; 365. and 36.4. GI. for good quality Larolitta ; ru purchases whatever of Bengal ere lately mooned. OILS.-0:la are without variation.

Tel:nowt moved for an injunction to restrain the de. fcndant from making cr manufacturing certain machines for tannin/ leather. It was stated, that on the 22d of April, 1323. his Ma jeat) 's letters patent were granted to the defendant for making or mar ufacturing the machines in question, to be used as an improve ment in the art of tanning leather. By a subsequent agreement, the defendant parted with his right in the patent to the plaintiff and the injunction now sought was, to restrain the defendant front violating the contrict. It was intended, the Learned Counsel be lieved, tn be said, that the defendant claimed, under the patent, merely the benefit of the mode of forcing the tan liquor into the hides, by which he could accomplish that in six days, which other wise wculd take six weeks. His Howourt, without bearing Counsel on the other side, said, this was by no means a case in which the Court could interfere. The plaintiff himself had undertaken to lose no time in making cerrun machines. Ile had also agreed to bring thcm to full per t', etion, and to sell them at a moderate price. It likewise appeased that the assignment of the interest in the patent was not for a con. sideration, but from motive, and that motive was br-gone services. The plaintiff had not been guilty of delay; he had brought the ma nufactory of the machines to complete perfection, and he had charged them at a moJerate price. On the whole, his Honour II ought the motion would have to be dismissed ; but as It was rot usual to give coats on refusing motions fur injunction', no costs should b.t given on this occasion. EX-TARTE DISNEY, IN THE MATTER OF MARSH, 'TRACEY, AND CO.. BANKRUPT/. Mr. Rose applied to the Court. that Mr. Disney. in this cane, might be relieved from the process of the Court, which had issued against him on account cf his wife, Mrs. Nelson Disney, not hav ing answered to a joint bill filed against her husband and her, for the recovery of certain policies of insurance and India bonds, to the amount of severe' thousands, placed in her hands by the late Mr. Plrunderor. The application was founded on an affidavit. in which Mr. Disney stated that his wife had left the kingdom, and gone beyond the seas, without his knowledge or consent. The Learned Counsel submitted that this lady, being not only beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, but out of the resch of her husband's emtrol end authority, it would be extremely hard to make him liable to this attachment ..... Mr. PEPTS opposed the motion, on the ground that the wife bul Isxn collusively sent out of the kingdom, purposely to avoid the delivering up of the instruments in question. He had an nib - davit, in which it was stated, that she we; living with her hut band up to the month of December last ; that an appearance had been entered for her in this suit, and that she had actually ap peared, and bad been examined before the Commissioners on this . subject. The VICEXHANCELLOI—The words of your affidavit, Mr. Rose, are, that she left the kingdom without her husband's know ledge or consent ;" but he does not go on to say that it was" against his will :" or that he has used his authority in order to induce her to come back. It is not pretended they were separated, and there fore I think there is great reason to believe there is collusion. 1 cannot therefore make the order upon this affidavit. You may make any other affidavit ycu please but if the husbard expects to be protected from the process of the Court, it is very obvious what he mu►t say. POLICE. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a shabbily-ireStiedyOtinii;nan was brought up by a eonstable of St. Clement's, and put to the bar, charged with steal ing a silver chronometer, value 18 guineas, from the shop of Hr. Hawkins, a pawnbroker in Drury-lane. The prisoner, when asked his name in the usual way by Ma clerk, said, " I should wish, if his Worship pleases, to withhold my name, out of delicacy to my family ;" but after some time he gave it as Henry Morgan. The prisoner, in his defence, said the chronometer was put into his hands by some man in a butcher's dress, as he was running along. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. He seemed, by the wretched state of his apparel, to be in extreme distress. WORSEIIP-STR nwr. On the 14th of April. Johnson, the informer, exhibi'el an ‘.n &rotation at the public-office, Worship -street, against Mr.Willism Newman, of Gravesend, for carrying eight outside passengers by his public stage coach, which travelled from London to Graves end on the 6th of April. The information was beard before S. Twyroan, Esq. Johnson's witness (George Martin) proved that he saw a mach et the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell, with the name of William Newman 'painted on it, that the words " Gravesend and Dartford " were painted on it. and that eight outside passengers were outside. The fact is, that Mr. William Newman, of Graves end, purchased a 4-inside coach of a stage master of Gravesend, for the purpose of conveying any gentleman whose carriage broke down, or having a family to covey .1 when he got it home lie had his name painted on it, the words Gravesend and Dartford still re maining, and that it never was employed as a public stage coach. but only on this occasion the coach worked with post-horses„ awe post•horie duty ticket. To prove this, Mr. William Laws stated, that on the 6th of April inst. he hired the coach and a pair of post-horses to bring himself and family to town. and at the first turnpike-gate , the post-boy delivered the post-horse duty ticket, which be had re ceived from Mr. Newman, anti at all the different gates deliver:d bis exchange tickets. After the post-boy had put Mr. William Laws down, he per mitted eight persons to get on the coach and ride the Deptford, without his master's knowledge, it being customary for post-boys to take persons back part of the way. At the bearing of the information before S. Twyford, Esq. at Worship-street office, several objections were taken. Mr. Beaxley attended from the Stamp-office, and proved that no reenee of plates was ever applied for or obtained by Mr. Newman for a pair -horse coach, nor could he travel without ; if he did. he was liable to a prosecution by the Commissioners of Stamps, and not subject to any information before a Magistrate. Mr. ',IWYFORD accordingly quashed the information. INQUVIT ON CAPTAIN Pircuii.—Yesterday evening, an inquisition was held at the Gun Tavern, Blackwell. before Messrs. Stirling mid Unwin, Coroners, on the body of Captain Thomas Pitcher. It appeared from the evidence, that on Thursday the 7th inst. the deceased hired a boat from the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich ; iti their way theyilicard the call for a sculler ; the de ceased said, "if you can gain a shilling, do so." The bout was dropped, until the Yorkshire steam vessel approached the hoax, which unhappily came in contact with the paddles ; the etarbo_ra side was completely torn away, and the deceased and hl father's servant fell overboard on the Greenwich side a boy, an apprentice to a man mum I Smith, who had the conducting the steam vessel, went to their assistance. and first picked up the Waterman. who Tas in his boat, using most infamous language; they tote, aucossilsdio saving the servant. After much evidence had been heard, the Jury returned a verdict of '• Accidental Death, with a deodand of Ifitit. on the stem vessel." The Jury expressed their opinion that con siderable blame attached to the persons who had the management of the vessel. BIIITIIS.
