They are this time of a Afferent nature, but In my opinion their con.equinees *jabs dlinantrous without an effmtual remedy is limbed, and I nin at a 1061 to gums of what nature the remedy can be, as the King hittiscif has sanctioned the measures of his son, through fear and weakness, while the latter has not gained his end, not being se :oritied by the troops. The hue and cry is raised without a shadow vaprobability, although it has great weight with the people. sgainm the poor Yreemuons ; and several hundreds of all ranks, principally aficers of the army, have been put in pri.on, without even knowing efbat is laid to their charge. A general consternation still prevails, and evety one isafraid of saying a word on polities, for fear of thefind person he contemn with. When you read tea Igincs's enem y clamations, his letter to his father, and the King's tleare in answer, you will understand the whole affair.

The Kinsf" and other loyal toasts were then drunk, on which the Secretary read the report of last year, which presented a moat lliattedns account of the success of the Institution.

MACa IN TO! , it said, that at considerable inconvenience to himself on the score of health, he had made a point of attending . the present company, for the purpose of joining in paying his tri bute of respect and welcome to the distinguished stranger now pre sent, and whom he hoped shortly to have the satisfaction of ad dressing as the recognised Minister of the Government of Colom bia. From the flea commencement of the struggle for liberty in South America, he had felt the warmest interest in its progress. He had viewed it as a contest against the grossest system of tyran ny ever imposed on man ; • system by which the kingdom falsely called the parent state, sought to exclude the innocent inhabitants of those extensive regions from the benefit of common intercourse with the rest of the civilized world, refusing to them the enjoyment of the common rights of humanity, and depriving them of all the most valuable attributes and advantages of social life. In such a cause he never could feel otherwise than sincerely attached, and it had always received his willing though humble support. He con sidered the establishment of the independence of South America as an event calculated to exercise • powerful influence on the interests of the world at large. 4n the praise bestowed on the great leader of the South American cause by his Honourable Friend near him (who was peculiarly qualified to characterize such persons), he en. tirely concurred, and he trusted that the day was not far distant when that great man would see, in the recognition of the indepen dence of his country by Great Britain, the reward of all his la bours. He was about to propose to the company the health of the distinguished individual on whom it had devolved, in the absence or the President from the seat of Government, to ad. minister for a considerable period the functions of the executive. His conduct had been marked by great talent and activity, a strict adherence to the principles of the Constitution, and a zeal fur the public welfare, which had shown itself in nothing more useful than in the anxious desire he bad manifested, and the means he had taken, for promoting the education of all claws throughout the Re public. Knowing how much the spread of intelligence throughout the community tended to secure the bundatione of public li be rty, the Vice-President of Colombia conceived that he could in no way so effectually perfect the esmblishment of those institutions on which they relied for the future prosperity and improvement of the country, as by giving every facility to the general extension of knowledge. The enlightened stranger who was now present, would see its this company • happy instance of the teal of our own free institutions, where individuals differing in their respective opi nions and pursuits, were always found ready to meet and te with tech other, for the general advancement of the interests of man kind. Ile concluded by proposing the health of " General Santander, Vice-President of the Republic of Colombia." Dr. LI: till I NC. T 0 N said he rose with peculiar pleasure on the present occasion, to met to the company, as a toast, the " Con greats of Colombia. That body had entitled themselves to the gra. 'nude of their own countrymen by the wisdom of their deliberations. " seal powerfully recommended themselves to the respect of th e world at large, by +hewing that in the midst of the many cares that must have linseed upon them, in the organization of an infant state, they had not forgotten the claims of sufFering humanity. The means by which the Congress of Colombia had provided for the certain ex tinctien of slivery throughout the republic, were no less creditable to their WiStlolll titan their humanity: without operating any vio lent or sudden change, or invading private rights, they had, by a gradual, but most certain meets, now in active operation, secured I the entire cessation of slavery within the present generation. The cause of independence in South America had peculiar daimon die sympathy of Englishmen ; and front the circumstances of the struggle for that independence having first been excited by English mean*. Proclsmatinne were industriously circulated throughout the Spanish Main, by the direction of the British Government, containing the most unqualified assurances, that whenever the in. habitants of those countries should he disposed to throw off the oppressive rule of Spain, they might rely on the most effectual and unlimited assistance Crow the navy of this country. They acted on this invitation ; but, unhappily for then,, when the time ar rived at which they had to call for the performance of our part of the contract, n change in our policy haul taken place. Our rela tions with Spade avec chnaged--and haring excited them to the battle, we left them to continue it single-handed. Every body must feel that this circumstance gave the inhabitants of Colombia' • powerful claim on our friendship and g oo d w i s h es . He was re- I joked that the Colombians were now in the possession of a Con. stitution thinned on that principle, by which alone rational liberty could be sustcined--the giving to the people • proper control in the election of their representatives. Ile concluded by peoposing the " Congress of Colombia." Mr. IL hattAw said, that after the powerful and eloquent manner in which the company had been addressed by the three last Hon. Gentlemen who had spoken, it would be presumptuous in him to attempt to detain them at any length. The popular feeling in this country towards South America was most ardent.. It had gone be. hare, as it frequently did, the arts of his Majesty's Government, and had pointed out the necessity of measures which he trusted were now in progress, fur estthlishing reciprocal relations between the two countnea. No countries could be more advantageously situated for mutually advantageous itllt rODUrst than Europe and America. The biter, rich beyond measure an all the natural peto. ducts of thc earth ; the Cornier, distinguished by the poseueion of the fruits of the ingenuity of men. Between countries thus circum stanced, a connexion of she most agreeable kind was to Lc looked for, and he therefore treated they should all see the toast he was about to propose fully realised— " May the relations between the Old World and the New Ix consolidated to their mutual advantage." Mr. Pow LES said, that t t those who had been is the habit of di recting their thoughts toward. the interests of Colombia. it had Leen a matter of some anxiety to see that for m long a period as a year and a half, circumstances had required theirrat man who presided over Colombia to be absent from the admtrietration of the Go. yeenment. It scented as if the father of the family was •hsent at the critical moment when his children might most need his parental care; but that Provider.ce which orders every thing for us better than we can toe ourselves, had given occasion, from this Ca/CUM stance, to show to the Colombians thesneelves, and the world at . large, that the preservation of the tranquillity of the country, the due And effective eihniniNtetp.r. ash* tioverouent, did rot depend DINNER .

IRISH EQUITADLIC LOAN COMPANY. iritoat • CORAESPONDENTA A very intereatiog petition will be presented this evening to Par liament, in favour of the Equitable Loan Hank Company of Ire land. The promoters of this measure calculate on the influx of no less a sum than tiOo,oilo/. British capital, backed by 400,11691. Irish capital, for the relief of the poor and labouring deism of Ireland. The appropriation of such a sum to such a purpose, is surely an object most desirable and necessary. The want of capital in Ireland is the great, or rather one of the very great evils of which that country has hitherto complained and if that evil can be removed by the incorporation of the present ' Company, without injustice to, or improper interference with, established interest', it deserees es be regarded as a body of as tional benefactors. It is, moreover, useful and important, as esti , Wishing • connection by which the further investment of English capital jin Ireland will be encouraged and promoted. The per sons principally engaged in the formation of this Company strongly rely for the countenance of the Legislature on a pledge given by the Irish Parliament, that the present system should continue only until relief could be afforded on more moderate and equitable tense. The present Company proposes far cheaper terms on the ground of public Loth, and therefore consider themselves entitled to the encouragement and sanction of the Legislature. It must be ad mitted that great extortion sad great oppres s ion at present prevail in matters of loan. Remove that extortion, and substitute a more satisfactory mode of loan, and doubtless a great good will be sf fected. if the mode suggested by the new Company can effect so desirable an object, it has our earnest wishes for its success. The Company propose to give relief at the rate of half the interest at which loans are now made. This is a prima fucie caw at least of great public advantage. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mrs. llregory got upon the coach-bee, s t d went inside with the deceased. He fainted two or three time a s we were going to Guy's Hospital I saw tie peisoner George as we were going away, and Mr. Gregory excla im ed, in hi poen, ~ oh ! Geor g e, I shall die ;I am dare I shall never moo hum s again." At this moment he had hie arm round my ant, m g I had mine round his waist. George made no reply that I heard. While we were in the coach the deceased said to me that be was deeply wounded in two places. I supposed he alluded to medter body wound, and asked him where the second was, lie mphsd, " I have a wound in my aide and a 'mutat In my heart; but dreaded this event, for it was only a week ago that my son Jab* took a pot of boiling coffee of the fire to throw at me. He was, however, providentially prevented. It was al/ owing to the ma. they taking the part of the children, and not suffering me t• on. net them. as John and George work for their hying, and I moot able to do so, oa account of a severe rupture." The deceased end no more till he got to the Hospital. Mrs. Gregory, whes reached the Hoepttal, came down front the coach-box, and said to the deceased, w Don't say how it Implied ; say you fell p a something, and upon a knife, and cut yourself."- Mr. shook his head at this, and said to Mrs. Gregory, " I dm's ri that story will do." The deceased was then put in the chide sad crrried to bed in the Hospital. One of the Doctors asked his hew he came by the wound, and he said, " My cruel son George his stabbed me." Ilerc lir. Allen desired the witness not to state a word of my thing that had been said by the deceased against his sou, unless die deceased, at the time, spoke under the impression that be maid certainly die.] The witness continued.---I saw his wound dressed, and called to see him in the evening. His wife came up at the sante time. He told us he felt somewhat better, bat he was very bad ; and be best out crying. I told him not to fret, as one of the surgeons bad as . cured me that if he would fret the c uences might be ray serious. He said. "My cruel eon has subbed me, and lam sure I shall die." Mrs. Gregory said, "It is your own fault; you were always haggling and quarrelling with the children, and never could be quiet—you struck i t.qe." " I declare to God !" replier: the deceased, .* I never ed with the children—l never struck George." All this time t deceased spoke under the positive im pression that he should not survive. "My dear," said he to hit wife, " you don't know the rights of it. l'ou were up stain, but I'll tell you, before my God and myself, and Mr. Marks. My son William wanted some Mead and butter. when George mine to breakfast. I told him I had cut him • thick round off a (pavan loaf, and I thought that quite sufficient. I was standing by the window, cleaning (witness bdieves) my son George's boots, which you know I did every Sunday, well as the boots of all the rest ef the children. George came towards the cupboard-door, with a case Mite in hb hand, to cut care bread and butter for William. I said to George, • You shall not cut him any.' George.esid be would. I then tools him by the arm and shored him away front the door. He then turned round from the place, and made and thought a violent blow on niy side. I did not know I was stabbed. I then reek a bog-haired broom, and ro doubt should have knocked him down, as Molt very angry ; but as I struck it caught the line, and my hip and thigh failing me, I fell down : upon putting my hand to my ilia, I found it wet and bleeding. I said, •My God ! Gorge, you have stabbed me; I shall die, and you will be hung. I then crawled to the box outside the door in the shop, where Mr. Marks found me. I neither struck George, nor gave him any other pto vocation than what 1 have stated." Mr. Marks continued—George told tue, when I came from the Hospital, how the dreadful circumstance had occurred. I said to him, " In the name of God, George , how came you to do this rash. act ?"—" I'm sure I don't know, " said he; " I don't know what I shall do; I did not do it intentionally. I made a run at my father to strike him, but I did not know that I had • knife in my hand." I advised George to go out of the way fora few days. He did not icy a word about hi, father striking him; but said, " My father shoved me, and I anted him, forgetting! had a knife in my hand." Mr. Smith, also a next-door neighbour of the deeeaied, said. that he had visited the deceased at the Hospital, but as what be had heard Mr. Gregory mention was net accompanied by an as. menials that he expected to die, Mr. Allen desired that it shall not be taken down. Witness said that the deceased had spoken well of the disposition of the prisoner, and that he mentioned, that he should not have wondered if John, who was of • more turbu lent temper, had done him the violence. •• I forgive him," said the deceased, " whether I lire or die; and I hope the law will for give bin." Here three respectable persons asked Mr. Allen whether be would hear what they had to say in favour of the character of the prisoner, whom they , had known for a length of time, and who was of an extremely mild and amiable temper. Mr. A L LE N observed that their presence at another pier:tali& be very requisite, but he had • duty to perform, to which testimonials of character had no reference. He should feel it incumbent upon Mm to commit the prisoner for wilful murder. Mr. Allen then ordered that the prisoner should be brought up on Ssturtlay, in order to be committed. The defendants were tried at the last Lancaster assizes, before Mr. Justice Holroyd, and found gu . ilty. Mr. SCARLETT lIPV prayed the judgment of the Court 1 Mr. Justice Ilos.oov n read his notes of the evidence, from which it appeared that the office had a search-warrant to execute in the house of the defendant Evans, for the discovery of smuggled ifoi'ds ' Mr. BROVGHAW addressed the Court in mitigation of punish ,' sent. The great poverty of the defendants having precluded them from employing a second Counsel, he had but a very scanty and imperfect outline of the evidence, and was, in a great measure, obliged to rely upon what lie had imperfectly caught from the I Learned Judge's notes that day in Court. But it was evident that 1 the principal wrong doers were not before the Court: they were sailors. and had avoided justice by leaving the country. It was tin evidence that eight or nine men, beakless the defendants, had joined in the violence exercised towards the revenue officers. Without such aid, it was manifest that these poor women could not have inflicted the injury stated on the trial to have been suffered by the officers. It was on his Lordship's notes that the husband of the defendant. Mary Evans, kept • lodg -1 ing.house fur sailors, the management of which was entrusted to his wife, whose absence would almost disable him from carrying on his business. It appeared that this man, Hobert Evans, had not only not obstructed the officers in their search, but actively assisted them. This good conduct on his part entitled him to ex pect that the Court would mitigate the punishment of his wife. Another ground of mitigation was, that she had been induced to oppose the search because the officers * ished to open a chest belong ing to a sailor then abroad, who had left it in her cususly, and therefore she supposed Itersell bound to protect it under all circum stances. The chest, when opened, contained nothing contraband. The defendants were all exceedingly poor, and had suffered considerably in consequence of being obliged to attend to re. ceive the judgment of the Court, after which they would have to find their way as they could back to Liverpool. Their poverty had prevented them from filing any affidavits, but he was informed that Mary Evans was the mother of ten children, and Anne Innis of two, the eldest of whom was not three years of age. Jane Matthews was the servant of Evans, and therefore in some degree excusable. The other defendant, Cunningham, ac cording to the evidence, hail not been guilty of any violence. The Learned Counsel therefore trusted the Court would take the eases of the defendants into its mriciful consideration. SC•RLETT. ---- - n aggravation of punishment, disclaimed any wish to press with seventy against the defendants; but he could not suffer the conduct of Robert Evans to be urged in favour of his wile, without one observation. It was in evidence, that, though the husband had used no violence towards the officers, he, with some others, were employed in removing something from the MOM up stairs, while his wife, the defendant, was assisting in keeping the officers below stain. 31r. Justice DAY LE T, after the Court had consuhed, proceeded to pass sentence. The defendants had been convicted of violently smoking the revenue Amts. for the purpose of obstructing them in the discharge of their duty ; and, looking at the existence, it am impassible to doubt, that, w hit the defendants wen detaining the officers below, Robert Evans and some other persons were remov ing the contraband goods which the search warrant was issued to secure. The Learned Judge earnestly admonished the defendants not to continue in a course of lin which necessarily compelled them to follow up one violation of the law by another. Considering the part each defendant had taken in the assault, the sentence of the Court was, that the defendants be imprisoned in the Castle of Lan caster, fur the following periods respectively :—Ann Innis, for six calendar months; 31ary Evans, for four • and Elisabeth 3latthews, and Jane Cunningham, for three; and ;hat Ann Innis, °tithe ex piration of her imprisonment, should enter into her own recog. nuances in .IW., and find two sureties in 201. each, for her good behaviour for live years; and that the other defendants should se verally enter into their own recognizance' for 501. each, for the same ten= The prisoners were then removed from the floor of the Cant. Matthews and Cunningham burst into tears and wept loudly. The others seemed to be not so much distressed. THE ZING V. J•NES HOPKINS AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants; eight in number, for assaulting a revenue officer in the discharge of his duty. It atipuired from the notes of evidence on the trial of the defend ant Hopkins, that the excise officer went to seise some cider, which the defendants were drinking at a wake, in Worcestershire. It was late in the evening when the seizure was attempted, and the odder was beaten by the convivial party, who did not choose to be inter rupted by his unwelcome intrusion. All the defendants but Hop kins had pleaded guilty. Mr. TAUNTOK prayed the judgment of the Court. Mr. Rcssla I addressed the Court in midget* of punishment for two of the defendants, on whose behalf an davit from the Archdeacon of Worcester, as to their character, was read. Mr. CARRINGTON reered for the other dsfezl= and t urged that the lateness the hour in some degree their misconduct. They had been merrymaking, and perhaps even his Learned Friend (Mr. Taunton) would not be disposid to suffer very philosophically, an interruption of his enjoyments at ten o'clock atnight, after the fatigue of a day on circuit. (A laugh.) The Co t: aT sentenced the defendants to different terms of Im prisonment in consideration of the different features that Charm teiised their cues. Hopkins was ordered to be confined for three months in the House of Correction at Worcester ; two others foe two months each • and the rest for one month • and afterwards to give security for th eir good behaviour in 401. each, and two Unties in 301. each.

Mr. CAMPBELL, for the defendant, suggested that it would be convenient to postpone judgment on this defendant until the other defendant, 31r.
