The Coroners for the county would take ccre to observe this fur the tense. It war stated by Mr. GREENWOOD, that the evidence in support of the charge would be hardly sufficient to secure conviction. Eleanor Mead, wife of 101% Mead, of Sunderland, mariner, and Joseph Maw, of the same place, mariner, were arraigned on a charge of riot and assaulting a constable in the execution of his Mr. Cooesow conducted the case for the prosecution, and in ad dressing the Jury observed, he would not detail to them the cit. earnstanees or the disputes out of which it arose. He would only sate theta person of the name of Cooper had been committed fur an assault upon a man of the name of Atkinson, who appeared to be unpopular in that neighbourhood ;• and in consequence of that unpopularity • large number of persons, seamen and ethers, as. Oeinbled in Sunderland, and determined to burn him in effigy. At 'lint the mob amounted to only two or three hundred pertains, but it aeon increased to about a thousand. The rioters conducted them selves in a'riolent and turbulent manner, shouting, hurrayiiig. &c. The -Officers see:ng . mischief likely to occur, felt it their duty tieodeamour to prevent it, and with that view Watford, the prose. cutor, arid two or three other constables went into the crowd to seize the ringleaders. "In doing this, Watford was struck several times, and, amongst others, twice by the male defendant. The woman was employed in carrying the effigy, and was otherwise actively en geged in the proceedings of the day. Mr. Ancient:mu appeared for the defendant, Shaw, and con tended, if there was a riot at all, it was caused solely•by the inter ference of the constables. He said his client was certainly present, bat only as a spectator, and took so part in the proceedings until he was struck by one of the officers, who cut his head ; and it was heentase he threatened to prosecute him for so doing, that the present prmecution was Instituted. The Learned Gentleman called several seamen, members of the Loyal Standard Assncia deo, who deposed to the disturbance by the interference of the dicers. Mr. GREY (in the absence of Mr. Cookson) replied, and The Jury found both ,prisoners Guilty of the riot, but acquitted thew of the assault. John IVlieJtly, of Whitworth.

On my speaking to him in that.way again, he said, " D—n your soul to lull, I'll stab you," and he drew from his pocket a clasp-knife, opened it, and held in his right hand. He sat there at that time, and I seised hold of Pie stick, and pulled it from him. He then plop with the knife in his. hand, and I struck at him to knock the knife out of bis hand. He advanced towards me when we got up, and then I amuck at him. I seized him by the collar, and threw him down beside the fire, with the knife in his hand. In the straggle he struck Inc with the knife in the breast. I saw him strike with his hand. Ile only struck use once, and said nothing at the time. I got up by myself, and was very weak. I was bad far a week after. _ . Cross-examined by Mr. COO HON —1 had not seen him at another public-boose that day I did not intend to tea or offend him by Vining him that name. I wished to get 6t. that I wanted of hint. I will swear he was not sitting quietly dressing the stick when I went in. I did net say any thing about his wife to yea him. One Gibbon and another person were there when I went in. I took the suck from him, because he said he would stab me. When I struck Ititu I did not hear all the persons say it was a shame to •strike the old men so; but Gibbon said, if I would not be quiet they would go into another room. They did so. Gibbon did not prevent Inc striking at the prisoner several times, when I Ins attempting to get at him.

Then, ►f you had ►et him alone, he would here let you alone, I take it ? li;: :boss' was about to call Hutchinson, when ilia LORDSHIP asked whether he would go on ? Mr. boon said Hutchinson would carry the case a step further. I would show that the prisoner did advance towards the'prose. osier after he drew the knife. Mr. Justice BAYLCV-1 never in My life saw a cue so little tike lb mon gain to commit a murder. ■r. Loan—Nell, my Lord, he had threatened to do it the day before ; -but if your Lordship thinks that it should not pro ceed— Mr. Justice BAILEY—You see here's a blow given, and though he draws a knife he is not forward to use it. Mr. Lath—No. my Lord, he did rot strike till after the blow was given, and he was thrown down. Mr. Justice BarcEv—Gentlemen of the Jury, I think that in "Shit case you ought to acquit the prisoner. You cannot find him guilty on this charge, unless you think that if dea:h hadentsued would have been a ease of uturder. Now, here it would not Lave been murder, for a blow wes given, and that provocation -would have reduced the case. supposing death to have taken place, la manslaughter. The prosecutor used language likely to irritate this prisoner at the bar, and besides gavehim a blow. I think, stlotlemen, you should acquit 11:m. The Jury accordingly found the prisoner Not Guilty.

Losn stated the ease on the part of the Crown. The pri soner, it appeared front the Learned Gentleman's statement, had had a quarrel with his wife, and the prosecutor, who resided next door to the prisoner, hearing the cry of murder. rushed into the prisoner's house, who tens found in the act of holding a razor over his wife's throat. The prosecutor, on seeing this, caught hold of the prisoner, shook him, and set him down en a chair, during which time the wife made her escape. After this the prosecutor, in attempting to leave the house, was forced into a dark room, where a scuffle ensued, and where he met with no less than twenty two wounds front a sharp instrument, and one of which the DUr • aeon described to be a quarter of an inch in depth. The prisoner I was afterwards apprehended in a field with his sons. upon one of ' whom was found a small knife with some marks of blood upon it, which was handed to the Court ; the prisoner said the blood arose from his having cut his linger. Mr. ARCHBOLD conducted the prisoner's defence, and rested an acquittal on the grounds that the prosecutor had no right to interfere as he had done, and that in particular lie had no busi ness after lie had separated the man and wile to shake hint at all. Ills Lonossine said he agreed with the Learned Counsel, and that however praiseworthy it was in the prosecutor to interfere, he had certainly i.o right to proceed to violence. After suitable remarks, the jury found the prisoner guilty of the misdemeanor; which, on the Judge informing the Jury could not be received, he was found Net Guilly. iraheila (*Triggs, aged 18, pleaded guilty to haring taken from the dwelling-house of Thomas Taylor, of Nettlesworth hall, bad!. notes to the amount ornt to vain did his Lnidship advise her to plead not guilty.—Gai!ty —Death. 1 'Ann Furrier, aged T 4, for burglary in the dwelling house of John Barn, at Bishop Wearmouth, and stealing two silver spoons, one pair of pantaloons. &c. pleaded guilty.

Mr. SILTODRN Considered that there had been some wilatake about the time of going in before the Master with a plan for the management of the charity, anti therefore he hail obtained a copy of the caved, which he wished to hand up to the Court. Mr. HART did not think this weighed a leather in the ease, as the whole question in the matter depended upon the Act of Par liament. His LnansniP desired to have the caveat handed up to him. In consequence of understanding he would have had a particular en gagement this morning, lie yesterday desired notice to be sent to the solicitors on both sides that judgment would not be given till to•morrow; but as this new document had been produced, judg ment would have to stand for Friday. There were two or three ways of considering this matter ; the question of jurisdiction was certainly a very important question ; and another very serious question was, whether upon the original petition, the Court ought now to order the money into Court in whatever hands it was, that it might be taken care of, and then leave the parties to. tile an in formation, upo n which the question of jurisdiction would be en tirely set asi de. Mr. HART said he could have no objection to such a course, ex cept that the objects of the charity, who were now without breath, would be still longer kept out of their rights. Mr. SUGDYN said his clients (the defendants) had all along been most anxious that the objects of the charity should be put into pos session of the benefits they are entitled to; and any person who conveyed any other impression to his Lordship's mind, conveyed that which was unfounded. _ His Loansuir would say. without reference to the parish of Sea ington. that if the Court had the power of saying how a cha rity should be distributed. it would never leave the distribution to trustees to be annually appointed. 1100CSON V.

Mr. }louse was heard in reply to this petition, presented by the Rev. Wm. Curteis, which prayed that he might be declared to ibe the head master of this free:grammar school. The Learned Gentleman, rather amusingly, expatiated at some length on the I learned abilities of the trustees in this matter, constituted of gra ziers, grocers, and little traders, who considered that nominated trustees, though Iwithout a conveyance of the legal estate. were invested with all the necessary powers of trustees ; and could not comprehend why the Court of Clioncery chould be at liberty to take upon itself a right to interfere with them in what they thought proper to do, or not to do ; and who, on this occasion, opposed this application, and insisted upon removing the Rev. Gentleman, who. when he entered the office in 1814, bad the most satisfacrory cern ' ficates of ability, &c. upon the ground of supposing him not a fit character to be in the situation any longer. The Learned Gentle man argued at length, in order to rebut the ituputations cast upon Mr. Correll, as grounds for his dismissal by the trustees front the headmastership of the school. It appeared that a better situation in the mastership of another school had presented itself, for uhich Mr. Curteis became a candidate; on that occasion, the Rev. Mr. ACDougall, the vicar, who is one of the trustees, wrote a letter ex pressing his sentiments regarding Mr. Curteis; sod he therein stated Mr. Curteis to possess classics' attainments of the first order, the greatest equanimity of temper and urbanity of manners, and to be particularly happy in conciliating the boys placed under his tuition. Ile wither stated in that letter that Mr. Curteis's morals were unimpeachable. an d his religious. erinciples and opinions strictly erthodox. Mr. Home produced many other sinffiar testi monies. Mr. Horne then referred to the book in which the pro. ceedings of the trust were entered, and contended that the fair in. terenee to be drawn from those entries was, that Mr. Curteis was permaneut master, aed that the allegation that he was only tem porary 'master, was only as au afterthought to answer the pur. pose of those trustees. His LOP.DSIIIP was of opinion, regard being had to all the circumstances of the case, that 31r.Curteis is the heed master; that he is not removable at the pleasure of the trustees (and that even if be were, the trustees had not gone to work in a sufficiently turmal manner, legally to remove him) ; that he is entitled to have all arrears of salary paid up to him ; and that he mmt have the costs (Adds proceeding, reserving the question-whether those costs shall be permitted to be attained by the trustees ultimately out of the charity funds, and with liberty to the trustees to present any peti. tion that may he advised to the Court for Mr. Curtis's removal: giving liberty also to any person interested in the estate to present a petunia fur the removal of the trustees, if any petticn interested chooses to present such a petition.—His Lordship. in rather a low voice. proceeded to reed ono of the statutes or this Charity, from which we caught, that the master's duty was (inlet olio) to instruct the boys in (Joni. mot - ants, Wel is, scientia et vir tide.

The Chancellor declared Isis opinion of the illegality of a rule entered in the books that a person merely elected trustee, although no conveyance had been trade to him, should be entitled to vote as I trustee. His Lordship concluded a judgment replete with the ex ptession of the best principles of jurisprudence. by declaring that the dismissal of Mr. Curteis be declared a nullity—thst Mr. Cur , teas be paid his salary in &near, and that the trustees and Mr. Cur -1 ten, and all the persons interested, be permitted to apply to this 'I Court, and that Mr. Curteis do have his costs out of the funds of the trust, leavitigit open on whom these costs shall ultimately fall.

The proceedings undn this commission of lunacy were resumed this morning. Henry Clinton. Esq. examined by Mr. WARETICI.D.-1 am a student at Cambridge, of Cetus College. In die month of Febru ary, 1325, " the Bouts" brought a message or card to me to go to Mr. Frank, at the Eagle Inn. 1 had not at that time any personal acquaintance with Mr. Frank. I never corresponded with hint. I had seen him once or twice, but I had sever convened with him. I went in consequence of that message. It was about the Ist or 2d week in reifikiarv. I found him at a Mom in the Eagle. I can't re. collect whether he addressed TIM first. The waiter mentioned my name, on which Mr. Frank got up and shook hands with me. After sitting a little while, he said, " I wish Mr. Clinton I had you in London, as 4 lied several wine parties, at which we drank three or tour doyen of wine, and some bowls of punch. I then made a tweet to them, for you must understand, that I am rather given to oratory." (Laughter.) He said, that he slept without his shirt, but he had his flannel waistcdis. on. He said that he did not fancy lean women. He asked slnitan to dine with him in London, but he did not accept it. H e sa id th at h e would give 5/. to see Miss Foote. Ile raid that lie either hatiseen her or would see her, end mentioned 51. He asked me about theeromen of Cambridge. and named two or three who were eminent in his time, and asked nie where they lived. I told hint thattliey lived at a place ailed Berne well. Ile said, that he should like to go out with me, and see about them. I received his card about tino'clock at night. He appeared to be sober. Ile was drinking coffee at the time I went in. Be asked me what I was going to do with myselfnext day. I said I was engaged. I said to him that I would come in the evening and sit with him if he liked. He said he was much obliged to me, but that he would then be engaged with the 'women. (Great laughter.) Ile was slovenly in nos dress. Ills language was proper, he spoke pro ; petty, but he would not allow me to speak at all. His converse -I.:ion appeared to be coherent. Ile would not allow me to answer. ! As sour. as he ceased talking on one subject he went to another immediately. Ile spoke ot his own accord, and not from any remark of attire. Ile appeared to ntc to be conscious that he was not acting properl y because he alluded to the regularity of ' his son's conduct. 1 was with him from ten to twelve; about two hours.

James Hales--I am an attorney at Norwich ; lam attorney for ',air. Frank ; I was first employed by him in 19 or )810; the late itr. Bacon Frank died in July or August 1812 4 recollects Mr. Edward Frank being at Shelton in 1810 ; he was then very ill ; on the 24th of October in th a t year, I bad a conversation with Mr. Frank at a Magistrate's sitting arLong Stratton ; Mr. Frank went there for the purpose of making a complaint respecting the badness of the roads ; Mr. Frank knressed a speech to the Magistrate, which he had Ikeviously had printed ; it was of 'an extraordinary nature, and front this I drew the conclasion that he was not right in his mind. Air. Frank told witness that lie intended to go to Cambridge, and take his Doctor's degree, and then he should re turn abil get himself made Bishop of Norwich ; he was evidently at this time labouring under a delusion ; he directed witness to dryly to the Lord Lieutenant of the county to get him made a I Notice of fl'e peace ; he said he had lately seen a tine handsome girl in the neighbourhood (a gentleman's daughter), and that he I intended to marry her: he Also said that immediately he get made a Bishop he would make me his private secretary. In consequence of the strangeness of his manner, I sent for Dr. IViight, ot Nor wich, an eminent phy s ici an , t o atten d hi nt . O n t h e I ith of June, 1017, wham went to Shelton, where he saw Mr. Frank in a very low ' depressed, and sullen state. I to o k hint with me to Norwich in order to enliven him ; he talked in a very low desponding man ! net ; he said he must die, be was a wicked man, and his sins would never be forgiven him. I sent fur Dr. Wright again, who attended him. Mr. Frank returned home in a few days. lie came back to Norwick a fortnight afterwards, and seemed still worse than when he left. lie staid whit me all that night, the next day, anti the next night.

I thought I had died, and that I felt my soul burning in hell." I took him down stairs, and had Dr. Wright to attend him. I brought him down about eleven o'clock in the morning, and he stood in one position until seven o'clock at night. saw Alr. Frank in February last ; he called on me on a Sunday, and asked for a wine merchant, as he wanted to order some wine; his manner and dress were very peculiar • he had on a short blue jacket. I felt surprised at his calling because I had not seen him for several years before ; I told him that the wine merchant's counting-house was not open of a Sunday. I saw him at another time with a man who had every appearance of being the keeper or a lunatic asylum. Dr. Wright examined-1 reside at Norwich, and am physician to the County Asylum, to Bethlehem Hospital, and 1 have also a private establishment of my own for lunatics. I was called in to attend the Rev. Mr. Frank in the month of October, 1816. 1 found hint in good health, but decidedly insane, he was in a state of melancholy madness, lie was labouring under a complete delusion ; one of the subjects uppermost in his mind was a desire to marry a lady in the neigbourbood. I observed to hint that he was already married ; he replied that he did nut mind that, for he was deter. mined to marry her in spite of every body ; he would be made Bishop of Norwich and a Magistrate, and take a degree at Cant. bridge ; lie also proposed to give a general feast to the whole county of Norfolk ; indeed, his mind was filled with all sorts of extravagant projects and follies. I attended him front the 25th to the 31st October, 1010. Elizabeth hunt, examined by Mr. WAIETIELD—I lived In Hull in 1018, and let lodgings to Miss Fountain for about three months. Miss Fountain turned out to be Mrs. Frank. Mr. BROUGHAM took an objection to this examination, because Mrs. Frank was at this period separated from her husband. He was surprised that witnesses should be called merely to extend the inquiry, when their object was to get at the fact of insanity as 'speedily as possible. If such a course were proceeded in it would, be lin duty to throw up the case, in order to save expense. The Commissioners agreed in opinion with Mr. Brougilam, and refused to proceed with the evidence of the lan witness.

He talked of building a theatre and a Methodist chapel. (Laughter) He ordered breakfast in the morning expecting Mr. Braxton and Dr. Thorne. Ortiv Mr. Braston came, and that after breakfast. Inconsequence of Mr. F.'s conduct, Mr. Fisher was sent for. Mr. Workman also came. The second night he was equally noisy. Drank a pint of Champagne for his breakfast. He mid he was going to Church, and he took two or three bottles of Champagne with hint. Chapman, examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I am a tailor at Doncaster, I knew Mr. Frank ; I recollect his saying to mein 11123, I am going to Hall, where there are a great many improper women. Ile said there were 100,000. He spoke, to me of Mrs. Frank in a very indelicate manner. I said • for shame Mr. Frank." In December 1817, he cattle to me, and ' wanted me to spar, when I was obliged to give him a blow. He had then nothing particular in his dress. William Shale examined by Mr. W AREFIELD .-1 am wa i ter at the Dog and Luck public-house in the town of Hull. I knew Mr. Frank in June 1823 ; he then spoke to me principally about women. lie mentioned a young woman of the name of Slater, whom he-should wish to see. He went with this woman into se erahlitips and bought her what she wanted; I only heard this, and did not sec it. lie told we, however, that he had bought het a parasol and a new gown. lie wished me to send some one with him to Miss Slater's. I sent some one with him, and he remained with her. Ile was often in our house during the months of June, July, and August. Mr.. Frank was once in our house. Mr. Frank was not then in the house. She remained until he came in. Ile told Mrs. Franks that I was a trusty servant, and that he could tell me any secrets. Airs. Frank asked me befbte him how he was going 011 4 and I told her all his proceedings about *omen. He was then living with a slies Pennon. Airs. Frank said else was very glad to End he had met with such a pensan as Miss Pearson. She asked me if I knew Miss Pearson ; I said I did, and tamed her to be a nice girl of a cenein description. (The witness then detailed other circumstances end conversations to prove that Mrs. Frank was privy and consenting to his intercourse with Mims Pear son.] She then said, that as I had got into Mr. Frank's good graces he had better engage me. Mr. Frank frequently ordered a chaise from our house to like Miss Pearson to Beverley to the theatre. Miss Pearson took a friend with her sometimes. This was in August M. lie made frequent presents of wine, and once sent two dozen to Miss Pearson. On one occasion he sent two shabLsv men for wine, and I refused it. I considered at that time that lie was not right in his mind, I once spoke to Mrs. Franks of Dr. Dickenson I alluded to the Doctor and Mrs. Frank ; lie said. 'tis nil nonsense, I don't behave it. Ms. Knight said that a deed of separation was executed in 1817, settling the sum of 51101. a-year on Mrs. Frank, on condition that she did not come within filly mile* of her holland's re. silence. Mr. entwerth. examined by the .....LICITOR-OEWERAL-1 am a surgeon, at Cambridge. In February last I was called upon to attend the Met. Mr. Frank. He wanted a particular suet of lotion, but he hod lost the prescription. He asked me to taste the vial in which the former lotion had been, but I refused. He wanted to give me lid. and I said it was not sufficient. He got into a great passion, and said I was imposing upon him. 1 intro duced myself to him as a surgeon. He was below stairs in the Eagle Inn, at Cambridge. Hewitt he wanted no more of me, and I bight go about my business. The impression on my mind was, that he was either a fool or a madman—perhaps both. John Luby, examined by the SOLICITOR.GENEILAL—I air chapel clerk at Trinity Coliege,Caurbridge. I know Mr. Frank ; he gent Tor me in February Test to go to the Xagle Inn. I had known him when he was as College, and I went to him. lie hail then dined. Ile asked me for an old female friend of his, anti said he would give ten pounds to see her, as money was of no conse quence to him, for he had plenty. He then called fur a bottle of sherry. A gentleman of Emanuel College was in the room. When he had lett it Mr. Frank spoke to me of women he had Met at Grantham. [The deposition of the witness was here too iodelieate to be reported lie tel ute he had left him tareage in London, for his Itl4 sad hew friend. He swore at almost every word he uttered. He dressed mere like a huntsman than a •clergyman—in a green cost, a white waistcoat, and stripped pantaloons. I had not seen him for twenty years. lUy opiuton is that he was not in a sound state of mind when last I saw him. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—He acted my unlike clergyman. I keep lodgings for yt.ung men. There are pretty ' prints on my walls, but no indelicate ones—roc one that I should •be ashamed to let any lady sec. I have no Venus. There is one, however, in the Museum of Cambridge : but there Is no indecent picture in my museum. I have a print in which there ate some females going into the water. I Mr. BROIIOHAM—Do not talk so fast, Sir, lam the parson and you are the clerk, and you must make the responses in the proper place, and if you agree with me say amen. Witnese--I will, Sir. Joseph IVest examined—l am boats at the Eagle Inn, Cam bridge. I was beets there last February, when Mr. Frank was there. Ile asked nio to show him to a druggist's shop. He did not go in, but said be would return, and just before he arrived at the inn he asked Inc to show him another ; he did not go in to that shop. Ile asked me if there were any more druggists' shops in the town. I said there were two or three. As we weto afterwards going out, he asked me if he looked like a woman. I said lie did not. Ile said he thought he heard the boys say as he was going along he looked like a woman. His general manner was very strange. Jonathan Boast examined by the tide set ron.GE s Haw— I keep the Bear Inn, at Yannouth-bridge. I recollect the Her. Mr. Frank coming to my house in February last. Ido not recollect the day. When he first came, a man of the name of Malcolm was not with him, but he came soon after. Mr. Frank took a sitting-room and a bed-rcom, and ordered a fire in the bed-room. He dined, but did not sleep in my house. Malcolm did not see him on the day he arrived, but saw hint the next day. Ido not know why Mal colm did not wish 'o see hint. Mr. Frank came in after being out all night, about 11 o'clock in the morning. Malcolm appeared to me to be luoking after hint to attend him. There appeared to be something au wild about Mr. Frank, his very look was wild ; he talked most incessantly to me, and talked very strangely. He•said nothing about ladies. On the second day he ordered dinner for himself and Malcolm--his keeper, as I thought. Prior to dinner being served up, he rang the bell, and said Malcolm should not dine with him. 31r. Frank then appeared to be in high spirits, hut seemed to be in a state of irritation the whole time he wan in the house. tic asked me to lend him 201. and said he had been disappointed, as he expected Dr. Dickenson to bring him the money. I refined to lend it. He sent me to Gurney's bank, and ono of the clerks of the hank came. I heard some part of the con versation between them. 11r. Frank said he wanted money, and seemed much irritated when it was refused withont a letter of credit. Mr. Frank then said send for 31. r. John Gurney, and he was told that Mr. Gurney was not in towel. From what I saw of Mr. Frank while in my house, I thought he was deranged, and that Malcolm was his keeper. By Mr..lincleontam—He did not pay my bill. Bower Boast examined. I ant the eon of the keeper of the Bear inn, at Yarmouth. I remember Mr. Frank coining to our house. Ile slept out df the house. Some one brought a message tor tne to go down to the house where he slept, and I went. It was a small ow cottage. Mr. Frank was sitting by the lire. Several low meanly dressed women of the town were with him. I asked him what he wanted of me. lie said lie wanted me to remove a trunk from one roost la the Bear inn to another. I went away, and he sent a women to call me back, anti told me I need not move the trunk. When he arrived he passed over the bridge in company with two women, and came within five yards of the inn. He re peatedly rang the belt, and when I went up he had nothing for me to do. On cue occasion he gave me his watch to wind, and I took it away ; he rang the bell several tunes. and when I went up he said he had missed his watch, and did not know where he had put it. I thought Mr. Frank was in a deranged state. Cross-examined by Mr. Bnotrouass.—l have resided the last • six weeks at Yarmouth, but not in my father's house. My father did eat know where I we.s. I was not always in one place. I was absent for my pleasure. During these six weeks I never saw nor spoke to my tether. I believe it was an attorney's clerk who first found me out. Mr. BROUGHAM—Where were you ? Witness-1 was in the George the Fourtl:. Mr.Bnottnitax.—You could not be i s better company. (A laugh.) Witness--It is a public-house. The case was then postponed until nine o'clock to-morrow. POLICE. Maxstox-Hours, Auor:en " .7—ln December last a gentle man went to the Auction Mart fur the purpose of making a put, chase of an estate. As he thought it would be necessry to put in his pocket a considerable part of the purchase money, he attended the mart with 10,0001. about him. It was not necessary for him to pay down more than 60001. but in handing that sum over to the auctioneer or broker, he unguardedly exhibited the remaining 40001.. which, we believe, was in four notes of 10001. each. Those notes he put into his pocket, and soon afterwards he left the Auction Mart, having conversed with several persons previously. Before he reached home, he found that his money was gone. Immediate measures were resorted to by employing the police, &c. &c. to de tect the thieves, but all the efforts of tile officers proved ineffectual. A few days ago, however, it was ascertained that one of the WOOL notes had been stopped in its circulation. An investigation, this day, took place privately before the Lord Mayor, who believed ft to be conducive to the ends of justice to prevent the public tronn being made acquaiuted with the particulars of the case. A Mr. Patin. a Leghorn hat maker in Holborn-Hill was, we understand, examined upon the charg of having uttered the note to a person in Paris. lie was remanded until the parties shall have an opportunity of attending. On Sunday night a desperate riot and disturbance took place in 1 Gravel-lane, Southwark, in consequence of one of those disgraceful contests which are so consequently occurring in the metropolis be. twecn the men belonging to the two provinces in Irelend, Monster anal Connaught. A body of between 1500 and 1800 of them as sembled on that night in Grave Mane from all quarters of the town, armed principally with packers and bludgeons. About 11 o'clock the row commenced, and before many minutes had elapsed, the heads of several of the contending parties were broken. They soon cleared the street of the peaceable inhabitants, who were obliged to fly into their dwellings. The beaten party retrtating into Union street were closely pursued by their adversaries, who did not span: the Connaught men, between whom and the Munster men the most Axed and determined hatred always commence on their setting toot on English ground. The riot now became most alarming ; the few watchmen in the neighbourhood made an ineffectual attempt to sluell it, but were knocked down for their pains. The lighting con. tinned until a sufficient number of constables and watchmen col lected from different parts to cope with the rioters, all of whom, seeing the preparations that were going forward to take them into custody, left off the original cause of quarrel, and made a simulta taneotts attack upon the guardians of the night, who, with great difficulty, and efter having received some hard knocks, succeeded in securing six of the ring -leaders of the disturbance, whose names are Dan Desmond, Tint Ryan, Paddy IlDlicogh, Ned M'Car , thy, John Holmes, and Terence Forbid. all of whom were lodged rin the watchlionse for the night, and taken to Union-Hall the following morning. One and all of them declared upon their conscience, that they had taken neither hand, act, or part, in the bit of a row, but, tecause they had happened to have Irish tongues in their heads, and tried to put an end tic the quarrel, they were locked up.—They were held to bail. MORSE STEALING. [From the York Courant. I The number ofeonvictions for this crime, at the several 4 seizes now hording throughout the country, are unprecedented, and as • cheek upon its increasing prevalence it is judged right in many cases to enforce the extreme penalty of the law. Whether this course will have thedesired effect remains to be seen ; but there are very good reasons for doubting its efficacy, as it is a well-known I fact, that the facility afforded far the cotninission of the crime, to which peculiar circumstances hold out an uncommon temptation, will have • greater influence over the criminal, than the certainty of punishment when counterbalanced by the uncertainty of detection can possibly be supposed to have. The sanguinary character of our penal code is tinost revolting to the contemplation of a person of ; humanity, and it'll; really sickening on every occasion, like the one I we are now alluding to, to see its horrid and blood-stained finnan exhibited as site Catholicon for crime. A little reflection as to the causes of the preponderance of any particular species of wrong at certain seasons. would certainly be the course more consonant with Christian legislation, than invariably sending forth the minister of justice armed with the powers of death. A retrospect of the last seven years will demonstrate that it is not on account of the lenity shown to the horse.stealer , that he has now l au n c h e d f ort h i n all the recklessness of bold impunity. During the period alluded to, the number of persons convicted of the crime, and of those exc. cuted, were as follow : Convicted Executed In 1818 - 130 1 1819 - 14" 2 1820 . 111 1821 - . 129 Ii 3822 - 1 1823 . . 124 4 1824 - 127 1 Thus it appears, that while the extreme penalty has been en- forced in so few instances, as barely is form an exception to the disuse of it altogether, the crime itself has remained at one certain I Pitch. To what then is the present increase attributable I' There is scarcely any one conversant with the public prints, though he may be ever so ignorant of the business of horse-dealing, but must be aware of the present extraordinary demand for them both at, home and abroad, particularly the latter, the numbers exported being uncommonly great, and this demand, with the arrangements made by the organized gangs 01'1)one-stealers, In: the sate disposal' of their booty, form the chief inducements to the crime. A con. temporary has suggested a plan, which we think would he [tore efficacious than live hundred executions to diminish its prevalence, I whilst it is far more agreeable with the practice of a people, cele.l brated for their philantrophic exertiMA in behalf of the unfortunate wanderer from the paths of virtue, and even for the reformation of the more hardened and deeply initiated in crime. He recommends I " a Register for the sale of horses in every town, without going I through the forms of which, and producing the necessary proofs and certificates accompanying it, no horse should be sold ; the pos. session of a purchased horse without such certificate, being made a misdemeanor, and the forgery of such documents, carrying with it all the consequences of other forgeries." The work done by stem-engines in England is calculated to be commensurate to the Latour of two milliet3 of men.— ‘' , .:l:-J:nien Heron". LIVERPOOL, Tegsney EvExisa.
