p , COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 11. t . ' Lord Chief Justice BEST eat from half-past nine this morning, at Guildhall, until near eleven, hearing several cascs of Prima, which were not of any public interest. The GUAM afteetracels sat is Banco. SNOW v. bADLIER. This was one of many actions brought in consequence of the loss of several notes which had been in possession of the plaintiff's porter. It was tried at the sittings after last Term, and a verdict was given in favour of the plaintiff. A rule for a new trial was since made. _ The Loup CHIEF JUSTICE having stated the circumstances which occurred at the trial of the loss of some notes, of which the one in question termed a part, and having adverted to the evidence give by the two principal witnesses then examined, titanilsan and Jones, Alr. Sergeant BOSANQUET rose to oppose the making of the rule absolute, and contended that, in point of fact and of law, the verdict should not be disturbed. It was a mere J ury question, and there was nothing additional which could now be brought forward, that was sufficient to alter the decision already given. It had been already determined that sufficient caution had not been used, and that was the only point now to be regarded. -The Learned Sergeant was then proceeding to include the matter, by analogy, under the Statute 1/.11 of Ann, when on a suggestion of the Court he desisted. Mr. Servant 'Writ:se, in support of the role, said that the case was one purely respecting the question, whether due and rational caution had been adopted by t h e d e f e ndant in taking the note. It should be considered that the same circumspection was not to be expected at 'face course as in a tradesman's shop, where there did I not prevail the same confusion as in the former place. A trades , man who was exact in his shop transactions, in requiring the name and address of a customer, who presented a note in payment, would be excused from an exercise of similar discretion at a race course, where it was against rsk to ask the cud 0 the persomwith whom a bet was mode. The time (a year) which had elapsed befcre the note was circulated, the amount of the note, and the place where it had been received, were circumstances to prove that no lashes at. tacked to the defendant. Besides, the Jury on the trial were pro. lushly biassed by a consideration that the intercourse in which the note was taken, though not perhaps an illegal transaction, rail still not a meritorious act.

Such are the facts relating to the existing system of Classification of shipping, elicited by the investigation entrusted to your Com mittee; ouch the beat practical remedies their inquiries and consi deration have enabled them to suggest for its amendment ; and such the reasons on which they ground the claim of their recom mendations to public approbation and support. There remains but one branch of the subject on which your Committee have been required to express an opinion,—" the best mode of raising a fund adequate to meet the expenses of the system recommended for adoption." On this most important considera tion, the nature of the suggestions they have felt it their duty to offer., may have prepared the general meeting for the conclusion to , which they have themselves unanimously arrived, that all expects , lion of obtaining funds adequate to ensure the vigorous and perma nent adminiatation of a system of classification. under which Oa meter should be impartially assigned, and rigidly maintained,' according to the intrinsic quality of - ship+, must, except wader the sanction and authority of Parliamentary provision, prove visionary and hopeless—From this declaration naturally results the inquiry, on whom the burthen of the maintenance of such a system ought in equity to he imposed. From the preceding facts and observations, your Committee con ceive it to be established, that as the existing system injures alike the merchant, the underwriter, and the shipowner, and its improve ment would consequently be productive of mutual advantage, the expense of maintaining an amended system, ought in abstract equity to be equally borne by all. To the Merchant there can be no doubt the most important be- I nefit would accrue, in the increased security for the transmission of his property ; a consideration which renders him equitably liable to contribute to the expense. By the Underwriter, the. advantages would be still more directly and sensibly telt, in the protection , that would be afforded him against the absolutely fraudulent sys tem under which, in reliance on the quality of ships, as designated by a code of registration proved to be fallacious and unjust, lie has hitherto been exposed to enormous loss, arising from the acceptance of risks at rates of premium calculated on the supposition of the ships being good, whilst in fact he has been, from the inferiority anti in many cases insufficiency of those ships, incurring a , much higher degree of hazard, for which he has received no 'adequate compensation. On this view, a contribution in some form from the Underwriters. and the Marine Assurance Companies,would appear reasonable and equitable. Nor would the justice done to the fair and respectable shipowner,be less Important: by assigning to his well -constructed, and well-repaired ship, the character her quality deserves, instead of her being subjected to indiscriminate classifica tion with those of inferior description, the comparative value of his property would be improved. By the diminution of tisk, conse quent on the elevation of quality, the burthen of insurance may be expected to be diminished ; and by the advancement in general estimation, the ultimately extended employment of British ship. ping in distant voyages may be fairly anticipated. All these re sults would point to a trifling duty on Tonnage; while the general consideration that, by the adoption of the proposed improvement, numbers of valuable lives may be annually saved, stamps it as an object of the most interesting national importance; and would abundantly justify its accomplishment at national expense, which might, if this view of defraying it should be resolved upon, be met by a small addition to the duty on marine insurance. Your Committee are, however, fully aware, that to any, or all of these modes, weighty objections may be urged. The direct in. terposition of public support would, in all probability, transfer to the Executive Government (could even such an arrangement be effected), the superintendence of a system Imperatively reqniring Cur its effective administration the aid of mercantile and professio nal knowledge and experience. The imposition of any addition to the existing duty on policies, would perhaps be viewed as aggravate ing the evils arising from the pressure of its present heavy amount ; while neither foreign commerce, nor the carrying trade, are in a situation to allow the merchant or the shipowner to contemplate any addition to their burthens, without jealousy and alarm. On all these considerations, your Committee feel that the decision of the source from which the revenue should be derived, will fall more correctly within the scope of the deliberations of the General Meeting, to whose wisdom they therefore refer it, adding only, that as the charge for surveyors will amount, according to their recom mendations, to about 7.7001. per annuli], and they consider the ex penses of secretary, printing, committee, travelling. &c. consequent to the maintenance of the system, will not exceed 6,000/. in addition, the whole burthen wal be so small, compared with the advantages to be derived by any one of the great interests for whose joint bene fit the alteration Is proposed, that it cannot be doubted that rather than suffer it to fail from want of funds, either of those interests would be ready to take on itself the charge of maintaining it, under Parliamentary provision. In conclusion, your Committee feel it right to remark, that although the general question of the propriety of classification in the abstract, did not constitute any part of the tnquiry delegated to then), they are aware that an opinion is entertained, in some quar ters, that, to assign character to shipping at all, is an interference with the rights of property, which it would be preferable altogether to omit. To objections urged against their recommendations, on this ground, it might perhaps be sufficient to call attention to the fact that the practice of classing ships is actually in force ; and to re mark that it is, at best, extremely doubtful whether any attempt to discontinue it, could, or would be successful. As long, there fore, as the system of assigning character exists, it will surely require no argument to prove that the principles on which it is conducted should be such as will impart real and correct informa tion ; and that, to continue a system of classification, proved to be fallacious in principle, and most injurious in operation, would be to countenance injustice, deception, and fraud. But your Committee cannot forbear further urging the consideration, that, even abstractedly viewed, it will be apparent that where the effects of the exercise of the rights of property are not confined to the yossessor, but extend to affect the security of others, and still more, where they involve the public safety, every principle of rea son and general security demands that individual rights should be subject to public control. So closely is this principle interwoven with the very existence of the social compact, that our Statute Book abounds in instances of limitation on the employment and disposal of property; but in none is the analogy more forcibly il lustrative of the present argument, than in that law, by which, in the erection of buildings, individuals are restricted from pursuing their own interest, or following their own opinions, where the ex ercise of this, abstractedly, unquestionable right interferes with general security, or even, in many instances, with general vwe -1 nience. And can it then be contended, In the very face of conclu sive evidence, proving that property and life are continually seen ficed to the negligence and tupitli'y of those who, from ignorance, or hope of fraudulent gain, coostruct insufficient ships, or neglect to maintain them in a sties of secure effidevicy that the public is entitled to no protection, heat control should interfere with the rights of property ? or that, that can be private right, which di rectly produces public wrong ? Your Committee are persuaded it is unnecessary to enlarge on this topic, and that, whatever may be the opinion entertained with respect to the specific propositions submitted by them, the necessity for some provision against the dangers arising from ignorance, negligence, and fraud, will be ge nerally admitted. Your Committee have now only, finally, to claim for their sug gestions a candid and dispassionate examination. The task atm. mitted to them has been difficult, laborious, and delicate. If not executed with ability, it has at least been undertaken in anxious desire to elicit the truth, and pursued with unwearied zeal, and lnlexible impartiality. To the public decision they commit the result of their lahours, satisfied with the conviction if having faith fully performed an arduous duty ; and should the suggestions they have offered have. the good fortune to excite the lively and general interest which the importance of the subject undoubtedly deserves, and to etitnttlate all concerned to an active and disinterested union of exertion, your Committee are sanguine in anticipating, that their boilable Efforts will have been instrumental in effecting an im provement, calculated to terminate an erroneous, unjust, and de structive system; to elevate the character, and by consequence, ex tend the employment of the British mercantile marine, and through iia means, to add sinews to that naval power, to which, under Pro vidence, is to be mainly ascribed the security and prosperity of this country ; and which, aided by the fostering encouragement of en lightened policy, has exalted the political and commercial import. ance of Britain, and rendered bee the admiration and the envy of the world.

The Court was early crowded with persons interested in this cause, which, the public are aware, relates to the tight of electing the Minister and Parish Officees of the parish of St. Stephen's, Coleman-street. The LORD CurargEhhon, on coming into Court this day, said it was his wish to get rid of this Cause as soon as possible, as far as he was concerned ; but as a trust interest was involved in the cause, the difficulty was to know rata; yui trust. There were three descriptions of persons interested in the elections—those who paid the church and poor, those who paid the poor, and those who contributed to the support of neither. The two latter par ties were not before the Court ; and as it appeared that. a resolu tion was passed by the parish in the year 1715, to exclude all persons from voting, except those who paid church and poor, it was thereby to be inferred that, previously to that period, the other two classes were accustomed to vote at those elections. Mr. HART suggested whether that was not carrying a legal in ference rather too tar. The LORD Citmecer.ton said he was anxious to receive every information on the subject, and would look further into the evi. dence to-morrow, to ascertain if it contained anything which could remove the difficulty, which in his mind was, to know who the per sons were who were entitled to vote; and if he could arrive at that point, he would have no difficulty to send the parties back to an election. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, THURSDAY, Jugs 8. (In Banco.) TAIL KING v. JOHN •YN!TRONG. This was ane;:oicio in formation, filed by his Majesty's At torney-General against the defendant, a labouring man, residing in Benett-street, Manchester , for a riot, and an assault committed upon the Officers of Excise at 31anchester, in the execution of their duty, while conveying to the Excise-office no less than five private stills, and a quantity of new spirit, which had been seized on the defendant's premises, and the premises of other persons in his neighbourhood, on the 17th March, 1025. The prisoner, who had absconded after the offence had been cam. milted, was apprehended in March last; and this information being tiled against him, he suffered judgment to go by detault in Easter Term last. The Attorney-General now moved for the judgment of the Court. The affidavits on the part of the prosecution were put In,, by which it appeared, that in consequence of information which the Officers of Excise had received, on the 17th of March, in DM, they went to the defendant's premises, on suspicion that he carried on an illicit distillery under ground. On going into the cellar they found several tubs, and other things, which had evidently been used in the purposes of distillation, together with about half a gal. lon of new raw spirit, and some wash ; the still, however. was re moved, though the spot where it had stood, and had been worked, was clearly manifested. The officers then went to the premises of several other persons, in consequence of the information they had obtained, and seized in all, at different places, no less than five stills, capable of holding about six gallons each, a quantity of new spirit, wash, tubs, &c. and, placiog them in a cart, were proceeding to the Excise-office with them, when they were attacked by a riotous mob, headed by the defendant. Having seized the horse's head, he exclaimed to the mob, " If there's any one among you of my name, we will have the things." Some one in the mob then asked, " What is your name?" • Death or Liberty !" exclaimed the prisoner, and immediately struck ore of the officers ; others of the mob followed his example, and the attack became general. The officers were knocked down, trampled upon, and heaten ' amid cries of " kill them ! murder the bloody —;" and at length they escaped in such a mangled state as-still to ftel the effects of their ill usage. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL declined saying any thing in aggravation of punishment, as this was a case where judgment had been suffered to go by default. The defendant put in a written paper, in mitigation of punishment, wherein, after admitting his offence, he attributed it to the effects of drunkenness, and the first aggression on the part of the Excise Officers. He urged, that he had a wife and two children dependent on him for support, and therefore hoped that their Lordships would extend mercy to him on that ground. After their Lordships had consulted together, Mr. Justice BAYLEY addressed the prisoner at some length, commenting on the enormity of his offence, and congratulating him that none of the Excise Officers had died of the wounds which he had instigated, if he had not actually inflicted; for had that been the cane, undoubtedly his life would have become forfeit to the laws of his country. Taking the whole of the circum. stances into consideration, the Court sentenced him to nine months imprisonment and hard labour in Lancaster Castle. THE IMO V. 0. RAWLINSON, ESQ. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to chew cause why a Mandamus should-not issue, directed to George Hawlinson, Esq. one of the Magistrates at Marlborough-street Office, com manding him to hear and determine a certain information exhibited against a hackney-coachman, for obstructing the King's highway in Howland.strcet. Tottenham-court road. It appeared from the affidavits on which the Learned Counsel moved, that formerly there was a hackney-coach stand in Howland-street, when that part of the town had been but half built. Latterly that coach stand had become a nuislnce, and had been ordered to be removed by the Commissioners of Hackney Coaches, who were empowered to make such order by the 12th Geo. 111, cap. 69. The order so made prohibited any hackney.coachman, under a penalty of 10a., from placing his coach for hire in Howland.street; and several hackney-coachmen having infringed this injunction, they were summoned before Mr. ltawlinson, who was of opirion that he had not jurisdiction ; but recommended that a Mandamus should be obtained, in order that It might be ascertained whether he had authority to interfere or not. Under those circumstances the pre sent application was made.—Rule granted. i • , (,110 , I I t , . 1: I 14. i li 4 l' r . . . i . I electors this morning (Tuesday).

Sint etnan.—Every thing gives note of a formidable contest ' for Shoreham, where a regular Popish Plot has been got up against Mr. Sugden. A refutation of the calumnies that have been circu lated on this subject, will be limn I elsewhere ; and we are happy to say that the scheme Is likely to recoil upon its coneocters with a force that will leave them tittle cause to exult at their ingenuity. At Brighton, with two or three exceptions only, the utmost indigna tion has been univenally expressed ; while at Horsham, Shoreham, and Worthing respectively, on Saturday and Monday last, it is a tact that seven , three, and eight additional votes (the former plumpen) were voluntarily given to 11r. Sugden. There never was a more barefaced trick devised at any election. The ground of o't;ection taken to Mr. Sugi'en was, that he is favourable to Catholic I::nancipation, although pledged to vote against it' Now putting out of sight the utter want of truth of this statement, is it not a most notable way of fighting the Catholics. to return a man who is known to be favourable to them, and reject one who must vote against them ? Truly, if there is one elector to be found blind enough to be gulled by such a'palpable trick, he must be dull in dent. bet the freeholders remember too, that If Mr. Howard is once returned, the Rape of Bramber will thenceforth be as close a borough as Steyning or Horsham, and that the Duke's nominee will be as regularly appointed as at either of those places. It be hoves them therefore to be on their guard against these Papist machinations. The Horsham election was to take place yesterday, and the former Members, :Messrs. Hurst and Fox,lwere to be again returned. That at Steyning is filed for to-day, when, we suppose, 31r. Howard and Mr. R. Phillips will be again appointed. A Mr. Ducane's name has been also mentioned, but we imagine the worthy and independent electors will not have much difficclty in deciding.—Sonee Paper.

It has been sug gested by a great number of the most respectable electors of the county. that, from the very peculiar character of the opposition with which Sir T. Lethbridge and Mr. Dickinson are threatened, the proper course for them to pursue would be, immediately after their nomination, to abstain from personal collision, with their op ponent, and to leave the fate of the representation of the county entirely to the good sense of the freeholders, as the best compliment which could be paid to them. Whether the late 31embers will adopt this course, we have not yet been informed. 31r. H. Haut arrived at Wells on Saturday last, in his barouche, accompanied by Mr. Oliver Hayward, and some other persons. On being refused admission at the Christopher Inn (the Somerset Hotel), Mr. 11. threatened legal proceedings against Mr. 31 ewle, the landlord.

TOWN AND COUNTY OF WARWICI.—(From a Correspon dent.)_We do not hear of any gentleman coming forward to te rrine these places from the inglorious appellation of Whig and Radical. Where are the Gentlemen, Clergy, and Freeholders? Asleep ! Is the county to be governed by M, hip ?—tatucly look ing on, beholding its Members supporting Catholic Emancipation and Reform ! Let the Gentlemen, Clergy, Freeholders. and Elec tors, ink themselves a simple question in the Rule of Three. If the county of Warwick return to the Commons' House of Parlia ment tour Radical %Whigs and two honest Tories, what will all the counties, by the tamer-atm, in Old England return ? And, by the sante rule, what would become of our country ? Look at this pic ture, brother freeholders; is it not a frightful one? Are ye rot ashamed of it? The native energy, and, if I mistake not, the native blond of my fellow-countrymen, are absolutely misrepre sented. If the general voice of the Warwickshire lads could be toad, lam sure the question would be reversed. Mr. Lawley, • few years back, was returned to the House of Commons by the Tory interest. What course has he took? Why, steered his own --and that opposed to the very interest that returned him ! Is this a faithful servant ? Is this gentleman to ask the Tories of War wickshire to give him a seat again ? Shame to say it, he has doge so, by calling upon the Freeholders through the medium of a pub lic newspaper. For my own part, lam sorry to own that 1 spent ten days and five pounds to serve !Ur. Lawley in his last election— supposing, as I did, that I was promoting the service of the county by returning a right loan ; but I promise that gentleman my bumble efforts, doubled, to oppose him, should a tried candidate of proper colour present himself, who, on the present occasion, would, I am sure, meet the just and strenuous support of a large majority of disgusted electors. Sir George Cbetwynde does not intend to sit in the next Parliament. _ _ WELLS.—The election for Wells takes place on Friday (this day). Of the return of 3lessrs.

The day of nomination for the county is fixed for Monday next, and the polling, if there should be any, for Wednesday the 21st. R.

Sheriff, having been re quested by serval respectable freeholders to call • meeting fur the nomination of proper persons to represent the county of Yorkshire in the next Parliament, has called a general meeting for that pur pose. to be held at the Castle of York on Monday next, at one o'clock. Various statements having been very indurtrinusly cir culated that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Duncombe are decidedly op. posed to any alteration in the Corn Laws, the Committee at Bradford thought it prudent to send a deputation to them, on Tuesday, to ascertain their sentiments on that question, when both those gentlemen explicitly declared they were friendly to such • revision of the Corn Laws as would afford fair and equal protection to the commercial and agricultural interests of the country. COURT OF RXCEIEQUER, Tamil:us, Jurs 8. SIR Y. BURDETT v. SIR GERALD NOEL. A verdict bad been obtained In this case in an undefended action against the defendant for 4891. 155., the amount of a bill of ex change, together with 341. costs, making in all 5231. 15s. ; and an application had been subsequently made to the Court, for an order to the Sheriff to pay over the money to the plaintfir. Mr. ALEXANDER now rose on behalf of the defendant, to resist that application. It appeared (torn the affidavits that transac.ions had frequently taken place between the parties, in the way of ac commodation bills, drawn in favour of a Ale. (laythorne Butt, and the bill in question was one of that description. Ste Gerard Noel had applied to the equity side of the Court for a bill of discovery relative to the transaction, which would lead, he thought, to impel. tent disclosures. The Court. were of opinion that the answer of Mr. Butt could not be allowed as evidence for the defendant, and that an injunc tion could not be granted him after Sir Francis Burdett bad sworn that he gave consideration for the bill. The opposition not allowed. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SIA ;FEET- Mr. PLATT rose to move that the verdict obtained against the defendant in this case should be set aside, on the grounds of rids. direction by the Learned Judge. The defendant had been prose cuted on three counts for the importation of foreign raw silk, of ribaud, and of lace ; on the first alone of which counts the At torney-General had taken his verdict. It appeared on the trial, that a fishing-boat was seen under suspicious circumstances, that 3lawley was undoubtedly the master of it, and that on examina tion by the officers certain contraband goods were found in • con cealed place. In order to prove that the goods were foreign, samples of them were produced, which he (Mr. Platt) submitted was not evidence. The condemnation then stated that the officers did seize certain silks. because they were such as ought to pay customs, subsidies, and other duties to the King, and were im ported by certain persons from parts beyond the seas. That state ment of the condemnation appeared to him to be evidence that the goods in question were not foreign, because it stated that customs were payable on them, whereas at that time foreign goods of that description were prohibited altogether. Officers were afterwards appointed to examine the goods and return their value, and those officers described the goods as prohibited and Illegally imported. Ile was aware that it was contended on the other side, that the condemnation was drawn up in the usual form, and that they re lied on the word prohibited, used by the examining officer ; but he would maintain that the word prohibited did 410 t furnish any evi dence of the goods being foreign. By Stat. 10 Anne, cap. 19, see. 69, a duty was laid on silk goods manufactured and dyed in this country, and a drawback WAS allowed on such goods if exported ; but by sections 94, 95, and 96, of the same Act, the re-Importation of such goods was strictly prohibited. That Act of Anne had been confirmed by Stat. 3 Geo. 1. cap 7. It was evident, there. fore, that goods might be prohibited although not foreign. He thought it his duty to state !that these Acts had not been brought under the attention of his Lordship (the Chief Baron) at the trial ; 'lhe latter part of the condemnation, therefore, could not help his Learned Friends on the other side. The Jury had felt the diffi culty of the cage, and one of the Jurors stated that Spitalfields silks were often sold on the coast as foreign goods. On those grounds he should move to set aside the verdict. The Coral. were of opinion that the motion could not be granted, as no points bad been reserved at the trial. Mr. PLATT then felt himself constrained to move for a new trial. The counts in the declaration were laid on a titatute which prohibited the importation of foreign silks into Great Britain under a penalty of 1001. per piece. Now, it was alleged in the count that a certain individual had imported, or caused to be im ported, certain goods, &c. ; the Act, however, as appeared by its words, intended to confine the penalty to the importer alone. The Learned Counsel then cited several Mel, to shew that the ahem. ti re expression, imported or caused to be imported, was insuffi cient. On those two grounds he hoped the Court would grant a rule for a new trial and arrest of judgment. The Covar granted the rule, which was subsequently confined to the arrest of Judgment, the defendant being too poor to bear the expenses of s new vial, FATAL AFFRAY AT CARLISLE. Carlisle, Tuesday, June 6, Half-put Four. p. m. I have just returned from witnessing a most melancholy occur rence. Sir Philip Musgrave, of Edenhail, the ministerial candi date for this city, was on his canvass this morning in Caldewgate, one of the suburbs. Sir P. is an extremely unpopular candidate, not on account of his personal qualities or demeanour, which I be. lieve are unexceptionable, but on account of his politics, and more especially his support of the Corn Laws. Caldewgate is principally inhabited by persons concerned in the cotton manufacture, who are now in a state bordeting on starvation, earning from 2s. 9d. to 4s. per week. and whose feelings respecting the Corn Laws are most acute. The sight of Sir P. under such circumstances caused great irritation, and he and his friends were pelted with stones by the rabble. He took refuge in a private house. The mob increased to some hundreds, principally, however, women and boys ; but their appearance was sufficiently formidable to prevent Sir P. at tempting to make his way through them. He continued a prisoner until afternoon, the Mayor all the time busying himself with swear ing in special constables. About half-past one, I was coming into the city from that quarter, where I had some business, when I met W. Hodgson, Esq. the Club of the Peace for the county, and .Mayor of the city, proceeding to the place of Sir P.'s imprisonment with two or three constables and a dozen or so of gentlemen. I turned and followed at a distance, and saw them advance to the front of the mob ; and here I may observe that I aid every body near me remarkedlthe temerity and foolishness of this attempt at a rescue, as this small party would infallibly be driven back, and a greater disturbance be raised than ever. Mr. 11. and his party ad. vanced, preceded by a resolute constable. The rabble slowly re treated, but a party of them, ensconced behind a wall which enfi laded Mr. Hodgson's little party, suddenly poured such a volley of stones among them as compelled an instantaneous retreat. Part of Mr. H.'s little party betook themselves into the neighbouring houses, which were hospitably opened to them (for only a very smelt part of the population participated in this outrage), and part betook themselves to the city ; but I do not think that any of them were taken prisoners, or otherwise ill-used than IS I have mentioned. Sir P. continued a prisoner all this time, and I and two or three acquaintances posted ourselves at a sufficient distance to be out of danger, and near enough to see the further proceedings of the mob. The rabble now began to pour from all parts of the town, and, I think about half an hour after the repulse of Mr. llodgon, an officer, sergeant, and three artillerymen, marched to the scene of action ; they were followed by a company of the 55th ; then came another company of foot, then a few magistrates and private gen tlemen,and after them a body of special constables. The whole party halted on the bridge of the Caldew, which separates the suburb from the town. They paused a few minutes, formed into marching order, and then pushed forward,theiold:ers with bayonets Bud and swords drawn. When within about a hundred yards of the rabble they paused for a few minutes, when I was told the Riot Act was read, but I was not near enough to ascertain the fact, as I kept aloof near the bridge, where I was out of danger, and could see all that was going on. They then charged. and the mob retreated, pouring on them volleys of atones, of which, indeed, they threw a good quantity during the pause above-mentioned. They cleared the area opposite the house of Sir Philip's ins. prisonment with the bayonet, and then fired three volleys up two email streets, called Shaddongate and Queen.street.in quick some sien,after the retreating mob, the hindmost ranks of which continued after the bayonet charge (as I have heard some say, but I was not near enough to ascertain the fact) to pour volleys of stones upon the soldiers. Sir P., his friends, and the special constables, then marched up the street together, and in a short time the troops re formed themselves, and returned to the Castle, meeting in the way I troop of horse, who had also been called out to quell this insfg- Stificant tumult. So far the matter seemed trifling, for every one sear me believed that the volleys were nothing but blank cartridges fired over the heads of the mob, which consisted principally of imam and children, who anticipated nothing worse than the iessken heads common in an electron squabble. But to my great 'uprise, I was overtaken on my way home by a woman iti the greatest agony of grief, who requested me to visit her son-In-law, who was shot. I went with all speed, and found him shot th roug h the chest, and bleeding profusely. After doing what was necessary, heft him, to see a young WORMS. She was shot through the tem ,gle, her brains escaping through the wound. Assistance was evi dimly of no use, and I left her, to nee a boy about fifteen, who was shot in the heel. I am afraid it will b e a bad case; probably the limb will be lost. I then hurried to a young woman, whom I found under the care of a surgeon, who happened, like myself, to be oo the spot. She was in tha house at the junction of the two streets. A ball had gone completely through the house, entering at one scindow and going out at another; in its passage it made a terrible fracture of the upper part of her skull. She was tre panned, and the depressed pieces extracted or elevated ; but it is very improbable that she will survive. I returned to the woman I mentioned before, and found her dead ; the man shot through the body seemed something recovered ; there are hopes, but feeble ones, that the ball has not touched the vital organs. I also heard of another individual being wounded, but did not see him—five in I have hastened to give you this account of the matter ; if the Coroner's inquest develop any other interesting facts, you shall have them by the next po st . Id o not w i sh to make any comment on this transaction, but to transmit you a plain and im partial account of what I myself have seen. Of the foolish attack on Sir Philip Musgrave there cannot be two opinions ; but its criminality is much diminished by its being but a stretch of the usual license of a contested election, by a starving rabble. When it was learned that the soldiers had fired with ball, every one who witnessed the transaction expressed the greatest horror at the fact ; and if the destruction occasioned was intentional, I must say that it would require streng language to express my opinion of the slaughter of the poor wretches whose dying agonies I have just witnessed. But I would fain hope that it will appear the orders given were, to fire over their heads, which certainly appeared to be the direction of the pieces I saw levelled, and that from the broken and irregular nature of the ground, and the circumstan ce of the i soldiery being principallyignorant recruits, the melancholy con sequences ensued which I have describ e d. EXTRACT Or AXOTHER LITTER.) Sir Philip Lowlifes, the ministerial candidate, has been an visaing Shaddongste; the mob locked hi m up i n a s h op, with some of his party, a n d they could not be extricated without the aid of the 55th and cavalry ; some shots were fi re d, an d two or three persons are reported to Ibe either wounded or killed. The Afayor went down, and he sou also caged, and only liberated by the mill ' too. Sir James Graham has not arrived, alibauSii 'Alleged every iameat ; Riot Act Ira wadi ROBERT SAVAGE. There has not probably, for some years past, been brough t t o justice a more daring, dangerous, and extensive violator of the law. than Robert Savage, one of the four eriminsla executed on wet • nesday at Newgate. He began hits career of crime at an early a ge for at the Old Bailey Sessions in June, 1821, at which tium h. ' was about 16, he was convicted in the name of Charles Hall, of stealing three pair of shoes, and was ordered on be tranuPrrred seven years. He did not, however, go abroad, but was s ent to th e Penitentiary, Millbank. The pris oners bring removed from that place, in consequence of the sickness which prevailed there,Savage, with others, was put on board the Osrymede convict ship, at Woolwich. There his turbulent spirit several times brought hi m into disgrace. After serving about four years he received a pardon, and was discharged. At this time he appears to have formed r em . lutions to follow an honest and industrious course of life, and se. tually worked hard as an excavator at the new Isotsdon.bridge. n ; , health becoming impaired, he found himself incapable of muck exertion, and being unable to earn as much money as before, his impatient and violent disposition discovered itself by an arerop t to poison himself, which rash act had newly proved fatal to hie. After his recovery, unknown to his family, he joined some of hi s old associates at the hulks, and other bad characters, and followed from that period, until his apprehension, no other ocrupation thus that of a midnight plunderer, during which interval the minds of crime do not, perhaps, furnish an instance of any one hosing can. mitted more numerous or more audacious acts of housebreaking and burglary. Although of course the greater number of these instances will remain unknown, some few have been particularired, in which it has been ascertained he was a principal actor, whidi were as follow: _ _ About six months back he broke into and robbed a house at Homerton, carrying away such a considerable quantity of plate, linen, and other property, that he was obliged to disencumber him self of a part by leaving it on the road. It was he who killed the dog in a caurt-yard near Peckham or Camberwell, and haying en. tered the house, stole some of the plate. He made an attempt t o break open a house near Stoke Newington, but on cutting thr oug h the door or window-shutter pannela, a spring alarum.bell was , et in motion, which disturbed the family, and Savage and his con,. pinion were closely pursued by the pa.rols, and narro w ly escaped apprehension. The risk which he encountered in prosecuting e., wicked course of life, and the dating and ferocious spirit isbich he possessed, may be judged of by the following ecm int ." : _ Having, in company with another, broken into a house about 12 miles from town, he was about to retreat with a quantity of valuable booty, which he had packed up, when he saw a person come down the stairs, who, raising a blunderbuss to his shoulder, called upon Savage to drop the bundle which was in his hand. Instead of obeying this command, he instantly drew a pistol from his breast, and pointing it to the party by whom he had been addressed, desired hint to do 1113 worst ; the person replied, that if Savage would not fire, neither would he, and lie immediately let fall the blunderbuss, which most probably was not loaded. Singe then ran out of the house, pulling the door after him, and went off with the stolen goods unpursued. Ile told a person who visaed him in Newgate, and who was desirous of ascertaining whether be had been assisted by accomplices, that - the robbery at Mr. Biggs's (the offence for which heaufkred)wu not undertaken in consequence of any information obtained from persons connected with the fa mily, for that, in fact, he never would rely upon such kind of co-operation ; but that it was, as he termed it, " a chance job." He stated that all the bank-notes which he found at Mr. Biggs's were a 51. and a 101. ; but that there were bills and checks to the amount of several hundreds ; these he destroyed, but regretted that he had not sent them back in a parcel. Ile further stated, that he actually burst open the front kitchen door, where two female servants were sleeping, without awakening them. Cron Rime doubt being expressed as to the probability of this, he declared that lie had often broken into bed-chambers where persona were asleep, and taken away property, without their being disturbed. Notmany nights before Mr. Biggs's house was entered, he made an attempt upon that of Mr. Annet, which is within a very short distance, but he was unable to accomplish his design. Savage always went armed with pistols, and has been heard to say, that whoever should venture to apprehend him must take the consequences; and there is little doubt but his threat would have been realized. Bentield, who suffered with Savage, and who was related to him by marriage, was by no means so violent and ruffian-like in his conduct ; but he for a considerable time had associated with some of the mast depraved and desperate characters of various descrip tions. He had formerly been in the possession of some property, and he had been heard to declare, that amongst those who acce lerated his destruction were the infamous Hunt and Probert, with whom be was accustomed frequently to consort.
