Mr. Mathews afterwards gives a sketch of an American Court of Justice, in a hich the Learned Judge is delivering his directions to the Jury, and informing then, that forgery mean when one man swears one thing. and another man sweats another ; that bigamy is when a man metrics more than once, and polygamy when a woman does the same ; that swindling is a crime unknown in America, and is of English growth, like the American aloe tree ; that adultery is a sin which every one knows when he comes to yam of discretion ; and that the greatest crime, of all others, is to soil wooden nutmeg, instead of real ones, because nutmegs make nangalee punch, and Sangalee punch e.rtiagitisics human beings Mm the brutes. This is, of course, a carricature of the broadest desaiption, and must have been purely the invention of Mr. Mschars's brain. His " Trip" then draws to • close ; and after having given s dinner to Jack Topham, his cousin Bray, Mr. *Reventop, Major Orimetone, Mr. Pennington, and a few others, he takes his departure from the land, determined to follow the advice of the latter gentlemen-.-to laugh at the Americans at his convenience, but to mingle good-humour with his laughter ; and to encourage a feeling of frimip between Jonathan and John Bull.

INQUEST ON SIR CEO. RALPH COLLIER, BART. Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, Mr. Stirling, the Coroner,l, and a Jury of the most respectable inhabitants of Fitzroy-square, assembled at the Yorkshire Grey public-house, at the comer of . Clipstone and Fitzroy streets, Fitzroy-square. to inquire into the lamentable death of the above unfortunate gentleman. The house where the Jury was impanneled is almost opposite, that of the deceased's brother, where the sad catastrophe took plea The blinds of the whole of the window. were drawn down, and the knocker was muffled. The Jury having been sworn, the following evidence was brought forward : Henry Berridge sworn.—l am servant to Thomas Collier, Esq. of Na 4, Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square. A day or two ago a gals tleman, a friend of my muter's, called and said he was afraid Sir George was not well in health, and ha thought that he was not in a sound state of mind. The deceased did not usually live with his brother. After the gentleman had gone away, my master went to the deceased at itidlodgings in Fludyer-street. I followed him, and when we arrived there I thought Sir George was deranged. He had previously lodged at Gordon's Hotel, In Albemarle.street but had latterly removed to Fludyer.street. The deceased being in an apparent state of insanity, my master prevailed on him to emu pany him home to his house In Fitsroy-nreet, where he diesel; an other person dined with them. The demised appeared very deal and desponding, and talked very little. After dinner be tarok same coffee, and retired to bed about eleven o'clock. During the night he Ithe deemed) awoke and spoke sevael times ; his an. sot altogether unusual end extraordinary, and he desired me, is a peremptory tone, to destroy all his papers, and asked me twice to procure him some water. I took him some, but he did not drink it. The deceased asked me if I was . gewie is bed ? I told him I was cot, but that I was there waiting ups. him. About two o'clock the deceased stirred a little, and I went to him, and discovered he had cat his throat. I immediately ran up stairs, and called another person who was sleeping above, for the purpose of attending Sir George, sod I instantly ran fee mo. dial assistance, and a surgeon promptly attended ; Sir George survived only a few minutes after he had arrived. Every thing that could bedtime to save him was resorted to, but proved Apulia. Mr. Thomas Collier, my master, slept in the adjoining TOM to that of the deceased, and came the natant the sad intelligence was communicated to him. The deceased was never before deranged ; but it had been remarked by several naval and militaryoScers, th at he was strangely altered of late, and many declared it to be their opinion that he was labouring under mental derangement. His conduct had been much noticed at the United Service Club-house. l am of opinion, that in consequence of the great agitation of mind caused by the publication of a work, tolled Jessa a 11'e et History, • passage of which went to throw a slur upon the eh*. meter of Sir George, be became deranged, and I have no doubt that ciraimsiance alone was the cause of the commission of the dreadful act. The deceased's brother had a few days before ordered his razors to be taken from that hotel where he resided, and I con sider he must have had one concealed about his penion, as the razor with which he committed the horrid deed was found afterwards in a bloody condition in the bed. Corona—What was the reason you had for sitting up with Sir George ? Witnees—My master, not thinking it safe that he should be left by himself, ordered me to sit up with him. Cormier—Were you to sit up with him, or merely to sleep In the same room ? Witneaa—Merely to sleep in the room, and to administer certain draughts prescribed by Dr. Sutherland. Foreman of the Jury—Was there any precaution taken to pre velt the deceased destroying himself Was his clothes searched ? Witness--His clothes were taken from him when he went to bed, so that he must have concealed the razor. soy medical gentleman attend him in Fludyer. Witness—Yes ; Blr. Sutherland attended him there, and wrote a prescription, part of which the deceased had taken, and the te easioder was to have been taken, had he survived, at two o'clock. Foreman—Did the deceased :edentate after he had inflicted the wound ? Witness—No; he could not speak. Vice-Admiral Sir Richard King, of Greet Cumberland-street, sworn—l knew the deceased Sir George Ralph Collier and have hoen acquainted with him for ten years. The last time I saw him INS en Sunday last; he came to my house. There was • great dif ference in his behaviour; he evidently was labouring nsder great agitation of mind. He appeared altogether different to what I had hitherto seen him. I endeavoured to soothe him, and he told me his mind was greatly injured by some aspersions that had been published against his oaval character in James's History of Use tale Naval War. as a certain ocession. I saw he was greatly agitated, and froth than memeat 1 predicted some fatal consequences, if measure, were not taken to guard against them. We left the Admiralty to ! gether ; he said he was unable to walk, and seemed desirous of taking a coach. I persuaded him to walk to Piccadilly, and there to take a coach. In walking up Hegent-street, he observed, that some enemy had given Mr. Jams wrong information, and asked. my opinion. as he suspected he knew the person, and w hether it would not be right to call him out and shoot him through the head. I said that would not ghee the statement in the book, and pointed out a particular course. He said he disliked paper war. I tried to change the conversation, but found him absent and silent. On the following Tuesday, from what passed between him and Mr. Dyer, I left the Admiralty to go to his lodgings, and on my way I met Viscount Exmouth, to whom I intimated my belief that bir Geo. Collier was actually insane. His Lordship said that Sir George had made an extraordinary sod uncalled-for apology to him that morning for his commenta on the preceding evening. I arrived at his lodgings, and there informed them of my opinion, and begged them to be on their guard, and to take cereal bun. I have known the deceased thirty-live years as a moat exemplary officer on all occasions. Such a charge as that may as well be placed against the Immortal Nelson, or any other exalted character in the navy. (A sensation of alt_planse in the room, which was crowded with newel °Seen.) The Gallant Admiral said, if such attacks were made on naval officers'.characerre, no man was safe, however great he might be. The deceased was a man of undoubted bravery. Colonel John Drialweler, sworn.—l have known Sir Geo. Col lier 23 years; six or eig ht years intimately ; but lam more inti mate with his brother, - Mr. Thos. Colier. On Saturday afternoon I saw him at the United Service Club House, and he told me that some scandalous and abominable publication, in which his cha racter was imp jested, had brought him to Landon; he was more animated and spoke bolder than usual. I inquired after Lady Coll yet, and be said he left her very indifferent and much distressed, in consequence of her having accidentally seen the letter which had communicated to him the particulars contained in the publication ; and upon a gentleman of his acquaintance commenting thereon. Sir George was much agitated, so touch ao as to use strong and viol "‘t expressions. His manners appeared so very extraorde se • that I determined to follow him, to have some conversatior wit a him, in which I flatter myself, I succeeded in bringing him to more sober view of what he had to do. Lady Collier's knowledge of the ben:lnes% appeared to me greatly to affect him. He told me of his friendly and satisfactory interview with Sir G. Cockburn , and of his intended interview with Lord Melville. After he hail sera his Lordship he said be should then knew what course to pur sue. We then separsted, al l :cl b lave not seen him since. Colonel Drinkwater begged to state uy, that Mr. Collier, the brother to the dece sed, was extremely desirous that the world should un dertaod that every means were resorted to, that prudence or can. Lion could dictate ; and as the %mama occurrences of our nature shew that we are subject to mental aberrations, which per. baps might daily occur, and shortly subside,. be therefore found it necessary to proceed cautiously, as he did not wish his brother for a moment to suppose that he was placed under the least re straint, or even that it was supposed such steps were necessary. To shew the state of mind of the deceased, the gallant Colonel then handed in the following document ; it was In the shape of a letter written by Sir George Collier to Admiral Lake:— "My dear Lake,—lf you are the same friend you once were, and if friendship is not but a name, you may save my life, and what's dearer to me—my honour—by giving me advice. " Humbled, " GEORGE COLLIER. " I shall heat home all the evening ; I dine at 4. litmoy.atreet. I bust Gordon's." Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Gordon Higgins, Aid-de-Camp to his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, sworn..—l have known the deceased for 20 years intimately. On Friday evening I met him at Gloucester House. His manner was as described by the' preceding witnesses. He wished to have his Royal Highness a ad. vice (respecting the attack by Mr. James,upon his character) whom 1:e always considered his warm and zealous friend, and was well assured of the readiness the Duke always expressed to serve him, at a ll times. His Royal Highness saw him in his library, a nd advised him what course to take, which armed to appease him for the moment. I saw him again oo the Saturday, when he appeared more composed, and, pointing to a carpet hag, he said, " There they are, and I thought I should have occasion to have made use of them." On Monday forenoon he aunt again to Gloucester House, at which time he appeared to be quite deranged. By his Royal Highness's desire I conducted him to the library, and the Duke endavoured to soothe him, and the deceased made three attempts to leave hit presence. bat his Highness restrained him. On coming out of the he'l he struck me on the shoulder, and said, " Sir, the Duke of Gloucester has saved my life." The gallant Cabinet then said, evidendy much affected, even to tears, that it was the opinion of the navy that the country had lost the services of a meat gallant and meritoriousoffiest ; and his opinion was that a braver man never existed, and be was confident that Mr. Thos. Collier had done every thing • fend bendier could do to secure the future peace and happiness of the tlaussed. Alexander Urquhart, Esq. of Suttee, Surrey, deposed to the same effect. Juror-I believe the pamage Sir George alluded to was pub lished to-day in the dady papers. Admiral King-I really don't know; I Neste saw the book. A gentleman said, the passage that bad been published was that to which he alluded. Juror-The moment I saw it, it occurred to me it was sufficient so eases derangement in the mind of Sir George. Ariesind King said he considered him quits insane; he never saw Me brother, Mr. T. Collier, till this morning.

Sir Edward Hamilton and the demo' soon after left the room, and on Saturday Sir G eorg e ems again, about ten o'clock in die morning. He a pp e ar ed maims to see same of the Members of the Board, to ascertain if the publication bed =deed any unpleasant feelings in them about him ; I endea voured to reason with him, but he was very desirous to see Sir Omega Cockburn, who had not then arrived, and did not come for as hoar. I advised Sir George to go with an officer to Mr. James, and endeavour to have some conversation with him about it. The deceased went to Sir George Cockburn's mom, and returned some time after, saying that he had been received in a most kind manner by Sir George Cockburn, who said that nothing any person could say or write, would alter the high opinion be entertained of his character and conduct as an officer. The deceased then a pp en d anxious about my Lord Melville, and consulted with me, and I ad vised him to write to his Lordship, and to state in the letter what his feelings were with respect to the publication. The letter was a request that he would state his opinion of him, that he miekt la it before his brother officers for their satisfaction, as his e l had done in the case of Lord William Fituoy t he then retuns me thanks for my kindness and attention to him, which be said be never would never forget, and hoped would have an consortia nity of displaying his gratitude, alluding to a son I have in the navy. He tbim promisW to at tend to my vice, and seemed soothed and ealui. I did not me him again until Meaday, who then was indeed a decided change, both in his manner and appearance. He dame op to my chair, sad said, " Mr. Dyer, 1 eyes I friendship, but that is passed." / tried to ddilitiC, lll" be walked over the room hastily, and turning round, stamping on the ground, he said, " I must see my wife, Lady Collier is in town." I again tried to divert his attention, but could sot. 1 Conox e a -Did his conduct induce you to think he was insane? Witness-Yea, Sir; so convinced was I oft, that I went out of my room, and going up stairs, met Sir William Hors, and said I have just seen Sir George Collier, who is evidentlderanged from the attack of M r . J ames upon him; Sir Wil liam Hope expressed its regret. I then saw Sir George Cockburn, and he also expressed his regret, end asked where be was? I informed him he had just left my office, and he directed that he should be shown to him on his again calling. I also informed Sir Edward Hamilton, who went away, saying he would call at Gordon's Hotel. I was so uneasy, from knowing his high sense of honour, tioo o' the rim-wing morning, Tuesraiy, I came through Albs marle-strost, with the view of calling at the Hotel, but missed it. a nso sem nun of Tuesday, and was shocked when I heard of the dreadful catastrophe. I believe that almost every pert of his body has been perforated. lie was an extremely gallant officer. Juror-You consider the effect of the statement, or mis-states anent, properly speaking, was the cause of bb insanity ?-Mast undoubtedly I do. The Conowen here said that evidently it must have dose so. as Sir George had left Devonshire for the sole purpose of mutin • the attack.

Juror-1 may as well rake a naval o ffi cer's life m his honour.

Er. Alderman WOOD suggested the Propriety of petitioning the House of Commons, that I?itiore a Bill should pass for building an iron bridge from St. Catherine's parish to the Surrey side. a tund should be provided for the purpose of indemnity against any losses which might be sustained in consequence of such bridge. The bridge might be left unfinished, and cause obstruction in that way; It might occasion loss to the watermen, which was a consideration well worthy of the attention of site Court. He concluded by mov ing, that the Committee on Thames Navigation be instructed to watch over the progress of the Bill, and report from time to time to the ( ourt. After some conversation the motion was agreed to. A similar motion was agreed to on the subject of the Hammer smith Bridge.

The parties all pleaded poverty, but Mr. Alderman Magnay told them if they were too poor to pay the rates, they ought no: to keep houses, but make room for others who could lie had not the power to remit or excuse, but was bound to issue a warrant of distress against defaulters, if the parish pressed it. . . . . . _ some of the parties obtained a month's grace. and against others Mr. Jogroo, the vestry clerk, said he should require diorites. warrants. A Mr. Spencer, a professional man, who had been summoned for one quarter's rate, which he had already paid, produced the collector's receipt to prove that fact, and declared he should expect a guinea for his loss of time in attending this office, and if it were not paid, he should summon Mr. Jolson to the Court of Requests , for it.

MURDERS IN IREL•ND.--JOhN Nam" and Patrick llPAa kre, two Irishmen. dad in the most wretched garments, were brought up, charged with having been eoncerned in the murder of four men at Churchlands, in the county of Limerick. One night, in the month of January, 1822 ' a large mob of per sons made an attack upon the police barrack s at Churchlands, and having first shot the sentinel upon duty at the entrance, they got to the interior of the barracks, and out of 17 policemen who were there, they killed three, and eight others were left dangerously wounded. The prisoner, 31•Auliffe, was known at the time to have been one of the principal leaders in the attack, and Neenan was also known as an active participator., but they both escaped. A shoe time ago, however, information was received at Dublin that they were to be found in London, and Farrell sod Alaeartney, two of the chief officers of police, were sent over in quest of them. These officers, with the assistance of Ruthven and Bishop, of this establishment apprehended the prisoners. M'Aulife was found in a miserable hole in Oraftoo.oourt, llary-la-bonne, sleeping on the floor, with nine whet. men. Neenan was taken at a house in Cato-street. The men unicrwent a short exeminadon, an I were wined into confinement until they can be removed to Ireland.

The prisoner, who appeared in perfect health, ea being asked if heltad obtained any professional asusuince, answered •• Yes,• and was accordingly committed for trial at the Old Balky Sessions. MARY.LA.BONNE OFFICE. ........ ROBBERY OP THE BANK OF MESSRS. JONES, LLOYD, AND Co. or lorrunuar—Yesterday • very long examination took place at this office, respecting the daring and extensive robbery committed about a year and a half ago. It will be remembered, that a parcel, containing Birmingham notes to the amount of 5,0001., was booked at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, to be forw arded by the melt to the Bank at Birmicguam, but the parcel was stolen, by whom it has never been discovered ; but subsequently as gawp( was made to nego. elate between the robbers and the lino, but we believe the terms proposed (1,5001.) were not acceded to, and the negociation drop ped. The stolen notes have since geedwally got into circulation, and a man who gave his name &gibes Kerman, and residence No. 1, Pentee-grove Peritatoille, wee brought up and charged, before Messrs . Rawls:mon and tirilfith, with attempting to pass one of the stolen notes. From the statement of Mr. Conder, linen-draper, Upper Caven dish-street, Cavendish-square, it appeared Mist the prisoner came into his shop as he was going out to the City ; and on his return, which way in about two hour, he found him sitting in the ware house in custody, and was informed he had attempted to pass one of the stolen fil. Birmingham notes; he in otneeptasee gave him into the custody of an officer. Mr. Conde, from motives of opinion, refining to he sworn, the following evidence of his clerks was entered into : Mr. Thomas Neale stated, that, about five o'clock en Wednesday evening, the prisoner came into his master's shop, and selecting goods to the amount of M. las., tendered the nate. weft, " I must isseltie you far change of a eoentry aster#oll pie handio 4 tarmingham 5L note.

Witness Meted be knew where it was, to which the ' made no mower. On Mr. Conder's retuning, he beg to be let go home, se he was a poor man, and offered to leave his coat. He was subseqsantly given to an officer. Mr. Banbury, of the firm of Jones, Lloyd, and Co., who was on the Bench, said, the parcel was stolen ham the Swan with Two Necks, about a year and a half ago. The panel contained about 5,000 L in Birmingham notes, which have since been gradually get , tire into circulation. Mr. RAWLINSON, the Magistrate, observed that it was a very important case, and required much attention, and asked Mr. Ban bury if he bad any objection to stating on oath all he knew of the matter. Mr. Hanbury said he would rather decline taking any oath, but would take care that by the next examination the fullest evidence should be produced. Mr. Raw (ANSON expressed himself satisfied with this assurance. Mr. Hanbury then asked Robert Wiliam, the °dicer, into whose charge the prisoner was given, If he had discovered anything to impeach the prisoner in the robbery. Winans replied that he had minutely examined the abode of the prisoner in Penton-glove, but found nothing to assist the ease against him. It was a house of three rooms, each of which was devoid of furniture. He failed in learning anything likely to bear upon the ease. He learned from the , eiboon that the pn sooss • had lived in White Lion street, and had a witeand two children. The prisoner here said, " Yea, Gentlemen, and they are in great distress." Mr. RAMLISION addressed him, and said he Id remand .bl9 l f9r Wilber examination, and wouid ototainlF Algol, Ma to my nothing likely to criminate himself, bat ite meld de ea be thought proper. The prtsoner reiterated his story of having found the note in the New-niad. Mf. RAWLIXSOX asked him what trade or profession he fol- lowed ? The prisoner said he had been in business as a silversmith, but now worked as a silver spoon-maker. He was then r_nianderl for a week. The . privoner is a man of very shabby appearance, about five feet seven inches, and about forty years of age. He was attired in a dark coat, and green great-coat, top-boots, and cord-trowsera. UNION HALL. ROBBERY OF A COUNTBI '''''''''' girls, the eldest not more than seventeen, and a boy, rot nineteen, were placed in the dock, for robbing a counterman of 17s. It appeared that the prisoners were inmates at Driseol's lodg iag-house, Kent -street, in the Borough, which is one of those haunts of Infamy and vice with which this street abounds. On Wednesday night the prosecutor was decoyed into this house by one of the female prisoners, when he was in a state of intoxication. lle went to bed and fell asleep, and when he awoke yesterday morning his money was gone. The cittieer who took the prisoners, stated that the boy had been twice in custody Lefore on charges of street robbery, and two of the girls had made their appearance in that office not three weeks since, charged with a similar crime. Ile said the scenes those brothels exhibited nightly were of the most disgusting description, eight or nine men and women, or rather boys and girls, sleeping together in one room. The Magistrate intimated his intention of directing the parish of of Newington to indict these houses; and sentenced the male prisoner to two months' hard labour at Brixton tread-mill, and the females to one month—notwithstanding their entreaties to be forgiven this time. . _ _ _ SanTsel Jacobs, $ Jew boy, was yesterday fully committed for trial at the Surrey Assirns, now boldang at Kingston, for robbing the cart of Henry Bickerstaft; a fanner, of Woolwich, of a great coat, value seven shillings. The prosecutor stated, that he came to the Borough hay•market yesterday morning, with his cart, to purchase hay. He laid the coat in the cart, and when he got to Newington.canseway lut saw the prisoner jump into the cart and run away with the . great coat. Bickerataffraised the cry of " Stop thief," and the rower was secured by a man accidentally passing; but he had given the coat to a trompankm, who escaped before he was taken. The prisoner told the prosecutor, that if he would not take him to the police. other be would get him his coat again. TO rim EDITOR OF THE BRITISII PR, Cheapaide. March 24.

Mr. Justice HOLIOYD observed, that the prisoners at the bet had been indicted at the last Summer Assizes for burglary, sad for stealing in a dwelling-house to the amount of 40,. Joshua &inn. I worth and Thanes MOON the two prisoners first named, had, up on arraignment, pleaded Guilty to the charge ; but th e ot h er pA iaaa, Edward Braithwaite, had pleaded Not Guilty; and upon mild had been acquitted of the charge of burglary, but found Guilty of steal. ing in a dwelling-house to the value of 40s.

His doubts had been occasioned by a =Lein East's Crows Law, v o l. 2, page 519 , in which i t an w!), that " if leveret are indicted together for a burglary And felonious stealing of goods, it seams that one shall net be found guilty of the burglary, and another guilty of larceny only, on precisely the sa m e evidenft.
