Yesterday the foundation-stone of the new National Scotch Church, intended to he erected in Regent-square, north of the Foundling flovital, was laid with the most solemn ceremony. The stone was esti , ctrl to he laid by hia Royal Highness die Duke of Clarence. The sub saribers, cos eeeee itte. s, and friends of the new National I 'hurelt toil at the Caledonian Chureh, in Cross-stre:.t, Ilatton-gitoltn, nt twelve o'clock, when. a very numerous and t napctable onsenilde 4 e, of which a large portion was of the fair sex, attended. Amongst those present we noticed—the Right I lonottrable the Earl and Countess of Ilreadalbane and daughter, Earl 4 :ow4 F:3T lof Rose berry, I 'ountess Conytighatn, and Lady thetwyml, with a number of Scotch nobility and gentry. At one o'cloek a communication arrived from his Royal 1 liOitiess the Duke of 4 :lamer and St. Andrew, express ing his regret that indisposition prevented his attelidalicr. Divine service begat, at a quarter before our o'clock. The Rev. John of the Scotch 7hurch. Swallow -street, conimene.d with prayers; alter whir, the Cev. Edward Irving, NI.A. delivered a most excellent discourse : he I read what a Is Wt II seloeted for the occas:on, the 29th chapter of the Second Book of Claromi, hs, which contains the dedication of the Temple of Solomon. The Rev. Gentleman observed— We are about to erect to the Lord one of his Temples; and we are enabled to do this by year bounty. IVe are about to erect a teniple, where the orthodox principles of the Church of Setuland shall be, by the grace of Chid. promulgated from age to age. It is a peculiar principle of the Church of Sentland, that its dortrinix shall not he perverted by ail vain forms—any carrying of banners, or tinkling of music ; and , thenfore, let not any thing that may be said or slime, this day, be so constructed. We arc about to ron sumer n house of prayer to toe and to our children, wherein we may administer to the Lotd our f;ad, and look to hint in all our troubles, in all our grieving% wherein, Soblva.h atter Sabbath', we may hold communion with the clioseti and well.lieloved of nor souls. wherein too : Lies t t i h o e n , o er f u:uinn of e i n t , f aff ~.tor iz,, mb uw t we hcrc we . a „.t r o e bring the love of runnel. and strengthen each other on our MM. mities—for n is to be the 'louse of Gist—die g l ee of li rnifro , an t i must be the shrine of charity. If any have transgressed the law of the Lord, let him confess it, and he Anil be cleansed by the blond of the Lord Jesus ('heist ; anti if any nian shall haven thorn in his spirit, a trial of nature to endure--of jeopardy, of altheimn—let him canoe into the temple ethic!' the Almighty has put into your minds to sort. It shall he the wiling-place between our %infol souls and the Saviour of this sinful world. Then he yet absolved in prayer, while the first atone is laying of a temple which may lung tumid proudly. (fur doctrine is the doctrine of the Reforniers, iu its simplicity and truth. Our great Reformer, linos. was the friend of 'Aril,, and he was chosen to assist in the radii/ohm of the Rook of Prayer. The Westminster Confession of Fsith was improvise ; hot we had a I 'onfnoion of Faith a centory older, more to my taste aitt feeling; not because it contains anything fief , relent, hut bet.itise it contains less of the pragmatical and controversial. It forced the Reformation into an offensive and de. lin.ire situation. I abstain (ram seven!: our doctrine is Calvinistic. I call it the Ifeformatimi, because we arc a system within ourselves; and Again because (N)vin was not a system preacher. I take a higher.-1114Ife ancient ground. The doctrines of Calvinism, not. ithataniling its dry, heartless, metaphysical form, was the licher ranee of Europe. I her dis.•ipline is simple:—it req uires tour years of clansical education ; it reei•ires the M. A. of literature, and the voucher of Professimi. After a further ills. ciplitie of four tear, he is rigidly examined as to his fitness tor the Ministry—his ktiowledg!, and pit ty. This trial lasts half a year; idler which he is on his plohation. Ile is then ordained upon the call of the flock. Ile Is taken again upon trial, and ultimately orilaihell. The elders preside over the flock. Finally, I may may without offimcr. it is my duty to say the Church which is to he built out of your offering is to be erllal the National Church, and is Co.' the collecting of our people. To the eyes of Spiritual men it is essential, perhaps, to have regard to the mature of the edifice. We have endeavoured to unite dignity, simplicity, and convenience. I dignity in reference to the Being of our devo te tttt ; siniplieity in reference to our doctrines ; and convenience out Of Tegatil to thine who tire to worship therein. It is • shame that natimusl feeling should an long have neglected this national subject, in futtherance of the only rebgion which has never shed blood tit' conscience sake. nut what is it unless erected nowt the foundation of prayer It is anything, nothing, a toy, a s irht, a delusion ; no uentiniem of the chinch, no pillar of truth." After the serviev, offerings iii aid of the work were re ceived at the floors ; and a considerable sum was collectill. The church was crowded lu nit overflow. 31r.

The Procession moved along Ilatton-garden, Liquor Pond-street, King's-road, John -street, Doughtey-street, Uuilil rd- sleet , Laustlown•plave, Brunswick-square, Hunter-art:et, and tompton-street East. A great number of noblemen and gentlemen's carriages brought up the rear. The concourse of permit's assa•tnblel at the place was incredible. At three o'clock the proces sion reached the site of the new church. The area was inclosed, and platforms erected Oil one side of the ground, ' with scats for the aeoommodation of ladies, who were in attendance in great hers.

A• soon as the principal personages had taken their re spective positions, they all stood uncovered, and a Psalm was given out, which was sung by the children in attend ance. The stone being in readinetia to be la4l, Mr. Alarm, the Chairman of the Building t Mninittee, made a isti ad dress. and introduced Mr. TM., the arrhiteet, to the Earl of Itri adallianti, who was proxy for his Royal flightier's, with the plans fiir his inspect The Rev.

A few months before Iltigarth was seized with the mulad; which deprived society of one of it■ brighcst . ornaments, he proposed to his matchless pencil the work he has entitled the Till The first idea of this picture iv said to have bet:. skoched in company, while the convivial gloss was circulating round his own table. "My next undertaking (add Ihr,tarth) shall be , the End ‘yl . All Things." "If that is the caw• (replied one of his friends), your business will he finished, for there will be an cud to the painter." " There will be so," answered llogartli, sighing heavily ; " and therefore the sooner my work is done the better." Accordingly he began the next, day, and continua his design with a liligence that seemed to indicate an apprehension he should not live to I complete it. This, however, he did, and in the most iu genious manor r, by grouping every thing that could de note the end of all things—a broken bottle, an old broom worn to the stump, the butt-end of an old musket, a cracked hell, a bow unstrung, a crown tionhleil in pieces, towers in ruins, the sign-pest of a tavern, called the " World's End," falling, the moon in her wane, the map of the globe burning, a gibbet falling, the body gone, and the chains which held it dropping, Phn•bus and his horses lying dead in the clouds, a vess,d wrecked, Time with his hour-glass and scythe, a tobacco pipe' with the last whirfl of ke going out, a ploy-loo!. ()veiled with exeunt smilers stamped on the cover, an empty purse, and a statute of bankruptcy taken out against Nature.—" Si far sic good," said llogarth, on reviewing his performance; "nothing remains but this"—taking his pencil, end sketching the resemblance of a painter's pallet broken. " Finis"—he then exclaisned—" the deed is done; all is over." It is a very remarkable fact, not generally known, that llogarth never again took the pallet in his hand, and that he died in about a month after he had finished this Tail Piece. EMERSON THE 3IATIIENIATICIAN. ‘Villiam Emerson, the celebratA mathematician, was a man of rude and eccentric. manners, vulgar in his conversation, and slovenly in his dress. IL kept a school at Ilmworth, near Darlington, for many years, and declared that of all his scholars, there was but one boy that possessed the least genius. lie married the daughter of a Doctor Johnson, in the neighbourhod. who was displeased with the match. This to irritated Emerson, that he packed up the whole of the lady's wardrobe and sent it to the Doctor, with a letter, stating that he would not he indebted to hMI fur any thing, and that he would prove himself the beuer man of the two. This was no difficult matter to Emerson, who 'soon became the molt eminent mathematician of the day his scientific apparatus, which was constructed by himself, was of the rudest description ; his telescope was formed of three or four cask staves, tied together, and his micro scope was a small lens, set on the top of' a spring window fastener. Ile wore, as he sat by the tire in winter, two pieces of bark on his legs, to prevent their being injured by the heat. Ile was constantly in the habit of walking to Darlington on the market-day, but his return ieame was not quite so regular. lie had a great aversion to riding ; and when the Duke of Montague once offer's! him a seat in his carriage, Emerson Said Ine did not like the whim ll.:llM, and would rather walk. lie was very communica tive, but felt impatient if the remson he was instructing did not readily comprehend him. A neighbouring geome trician once called on him, to reqmst the solution of a problem of Euclid. Emerson was at the time on the roof of his bourn, repairing the thatch ; he CRIII,> down imme diately, and with a piece of chalk solved the problem on his hat. His neighbour not readily understanding it, Emerson bade him take it home with 1 , and return it when he had dicovered the solution, and immediately re turned to his labour u a thatcher. MARMONTEL When Marmontel was a school-boy, his master chas tised him for some youthful offences, which he menu(' by so severe a lampoon. that he was under the neces sity of running away. Being afraid of returning to his parents, he entered himself as a private soldier in a re giment commanded by the Prince of Conde ; and in the year that he obtained a halbert, the celebrated poet wrote his charming Hishwylisarins. Many applications were made for his discharge, which the Prince always withstood, declaring it to be the most flattering honour he could possibly receive, to have such a man as Marmontel • serjeant in his regiment. Once a year, at the general re view, this distinguished individual appeared in his station, an I whole multitudes flocked to we him. After the re view was ever, Marmontel had invarlally the honour to dine with his illustrious Colonel and the principal Officers of the army, by whom he was esteemed to admiration. PRESERUATIONS AG.IINST HUNGER AND TIIIIIST. There were sonic compositions in vogue among the an cients, for averting the direful effects of hunger and thirst, and were held by them to be extremely necessary in time of scarcity, long voyages, and warlike expeditions. Pliny says, that a small portion of some things allays the hunger and thirst, and preserves strength ; such as butter, cheese made of mare's milk, and liquorice. The American In dians us.. a composition of the juice of tobacco, with cal cined shells of snails, cockles, oysters, &c. which they make into pilis, and dry in the shade. Whenever they go open a long journe y. and are likely to be destitute of provisions by the way, they put one of these pills between the lower lip and the teeth, and by swallowing what they sus-k from it, feel neither hunger, thirst, nor fatigue, fur four or five days together. The following composition is an extract from a manu script scholium on a book of Ileron in the Vatican li , briery: and one much to the same etfet, with some others, may be seen in Philip's fitth hook of 31ilitary affairs. It was reputed an excel ding nutri t ive medicament, and also very ettetual for banishing thirst. Both the besiegers of cities, and the besieged, fed upon it, in time of extremity, and called it the Epimenislian Composition, from the reel onion, which was an ingredient in its composition. The process is thus:— The sea-onion be;ng boiled, washed with water, and afterwards dried, it was cut into very thin slices, to which a fifth part of sesame was added, and a 15th of poppy ; 111 which being mixed and worked up into a mous with honey, the whole was divided into portions shout the bigness of a walnut, whereof two in the day, taken morning and even ing, were sufficient to prevent hunger and thirst. There was another way of preparing it, by taking a pint of sesame, the same quantity of oil, and two quarts of un shelled sweet almonds ; when the sesame was dried, and the almonds ground and gilled. the se a-onions were to be peeled and sliced, the roots and leeves being cut elf: then. polluting them in a mortar, till reduced to a pap, an equal part of honey was to be added, and both worked up with the oil ; afterwards all the ingredients were to be put into a pot, en the tire, and stirred with a wooden ladle, till thoroughly mixed. Il . hen the mass acquired a solid con sistence, it was taken off the tire, and formed into lozenges, of which two only, as thews:, were very sufficient for a day's subsisteuce. Avicenna relates, that a person setting out upon a journey tlrat:k one pound or oil of violets, mixed with melted be. suet, and afterwards continued fasting for ten days together, without the least hunger. Ile rays, that the oil of almonds and beef suet will ctfect the same by their viscidity. Hence it was that this celebrated phy sician, who knew things Inure by unquestionable experi ments than by idle speeulation• and conjectures, prescribed the following composition, which, in time of famine, by sett or land, might he extremely yerxiceable. Take of sweet almonds, unshelled, one pound, the like quantity of inched beef sue; ; of oil of violets two outlets; a sultieient quantity of mucilage ; and of the roots of marsh-mallows one ounce : let all together be brayed in a mortar, and made into boluses about the bigne:ar of a osmium nut. They must hi kept so ks to prevent their melting by the heat of the sun. We are happy to inform the public, that the large sum fraudulently abstracted from one of the Hanks of this town has been movered.--Whinharcis Gazttic. A ERI.II, EXCURSION. Yesterday Mr. Itrawiter, another candidate fees aerial fame, ascended in a balloon from the Bedford Anna Gardens, Camden Town. Thf, balloon in which he mended being that in which the late Mr. !tarns and Miss Stocks met with the accident, gave additional inte rest to the exhibition, which was intended for the sole benefit of Mrs. Harris, the widow of the late unfortunate gentleman whose balloon has been exhibiting at the above Gardens during the last fortnivht, where numbers of per- SIMS have daily adended to witness it, and have contri buted various hums towards the support of the widow and ..... During the whole of the day the crowds of persons rro cee cling towards the Gardens tram every quarter were very great, and at an early hour the Gardens were cam:site:ly crowded. The price of admission was :is. per bead. The inflation of the balloon was attended by some ex perienced individuals, through whose exertions the vehicle, by half-past five o'clock, attained a degree of buoyancy, which left no doubt of its speedy ascension, and the anxious multitude were greatly relieved by seeing some individuals carrying the car to be attache) to the balloon, which being nearly accomplishes], Mr. Itossiter, with a young Gentle man of the name of St. Alibi!), who, it is said, ascended with Monsieur Gat neriti in Paris, made their appearance on the platform amid the cheers of the populace. The tops of houses, windows, and every place that could command a view of the balloon, were now tilled with spectators, and the roads and fields adjacent to the gardens were thrompsl to excess. Bands of music were stationed in various pans. The mildness of the weather facilitate,' in a great measure the filling of the balloon, which, when in a state of buoyancy, bore a majestic appearance ; it ex hibited an inscription 'of " The Royal George." l'he car 1 1 being safely affixed to the balloon, Mr. St. Aubin, with a i degree of courage that serums) to astonish every beholder, junipe i into the car, waving his hat, amid the cheers of the populace, and the re be remained, not in the least intimi dated, until Mr. liossiter had concluded an address to the public, which he spoke in so low a tone that w; could scarcely hear him ; we mielerster.l him to say, that he had been /quested by the widow of the late Mr. Harris to return thanks for the liberal benefactions she had received from the hands of the puldic, to whose generous support she should be for ever indebted. Tier unfortunate husband had lost his life in the baikint now about to ascend, of which manyfalse reports bad bevii circulated, but to con vince the public that the machine teas as perfect as any ever got up, Iw, without any interested view, but merely to serve the widow, was about to ascend in it with a full de pendance on its safety. We understissl liiin to appeal to the public in the event of any accident occurring to !ti n t in his aerial voyage to provide for his family, who were pre sent—a wife and two children, of Whom he took en affc tionate leave before a:Tending. lie then entered the cu., and some difficulty was found to release the balloon, when Mr. Wisner cut a rope which became entangled, and in consequence of the weight of the ballast, the machine de scended from the platform to the ground ; Mr. St. Auhin threw out some ballast, and it wa s pull e d over near the platform again, when the persons wholield it left their' hold; it gradually ascended, but considerable fears were enter- tallied for the safety of the aeronauts, in consequence of its striking against the top of a pointed pole, near the scaffold ing. It moved slowly through the air, and for several minutes appeared to remain stationary in a north-west di rection. I he aeronauts waved their flags for several mi nuns, and in less than ten minutes, in conscquenceof the dense atmosphere., the balloon was beyond the reach of sight. The valve of the balloon het been consideraly decreased in size since the unfortunate Mr. Harris's accident. DESCENT OF THE AERON,I7T9. Mr. !Limiter and Mr. St. Aubin descended in safety at Havering Park, near Romford. Essex, at about ten minutes after six. Mr. Roasiter desnibed the voyage as a most delightful one. The aeronauts arrived at the Bedford Anna, Camden Town, at half-past ten o'clock last night, in a post chaise, on which was fastened the balloon. The pert. ms who had collected near the Inn cheered the ad venturers very loudly on their arrival at the place of destination. BALLOON AT EDINBURGIL Eutwnrscat. Mownxr EeExtiNc, 7 p.m. As balloons are not so rare with you Londoners, perhaps you may not thank rase for the account of an a s c e nt w hi c h too k place here this day. With us, however, nut h things are very rare. Mr. ‘‘'. Sadler, who is represented as the manager of either the gaa works of Liverpool or those of Manchenter, being encouraged by Walla people here, has advertised to ascend this day at two o'clock, from the green in front of Geddes Hospital. His balloon con. tinned filling, notwithstanding a smart shower of rain about ten, which lasted for a quarter of an hour; and notwithstanding the pftiiive negative put to his going up by people who professed to know better than the committee, at the head of whom was a worthy professor of wrat science in our college, Mr. Sadler surceeded, by placanls, in assuring the people that hr really would ascend, as advertised. About one the illy brightened, though to this hour the sky has a heavy and watery appearance. A little before three, Mr. Sadler catered the ear, and all the ropes which passed over the top of di: balloon being fastened to the hoop at the point text the c tr, he tnatle his signal for ascend ing. I should here mention that the balloon was simply held down by gentlemen holding by the car, and not by ropes, which require to bend. A gentleman entered the car, but whetter it had been arranged he ghoul,' be the companion of Mr. Sadler or not, I do not know, for he had not been seated &bores minute, when he lost all nerve, —as reduced to the colour of this paper, and was glad to get his feet on teen firma. A 3lr. f'ampbell, of Saddle, then came forward, and doing seated, die balloon was several dines allowed to rise about six feet. being the height the Gentlemen who had a bold of the car could reach to, and it was as often pulled down, until at lam Mr. Sadler thought his supply of ballast was sufficient to enable hint to rise gently. The holders of the ear having let go their hold, at three minutes past three the aeronaut. ascended amidst great cheering: it was grand INyonil description. Mr. I Green's ascension in !London, at the Coronation, was like that of a rocket in rapidity compared with thin of Mr. Sadler, which was almost as slow as a volume of smoke in a calm day. The balloon ! took a westerly direction, rather bearing south, but in two minutes, , having experienced a westerly bret7e, it we. again directly over our heads. It continued to go east, and passed closely over the top of St. liiles's steeple, the new observatory on the Cal:on-hill. and ap peared as if it would fall in the Firth. What breves did exist had now subnided, and we saw the men of war boats pull off to their I assistance. The aeronauts, however, hail only for their own amuse- 1 merit thus sunk through the air an as almont to touch the ocean, fur they quiekly re.raiesinded, and I followed them with my eve going direct N.h. till half.past four. I hare no doubt they would ' descend easily on the east roam of Fife, between Kilrenny and !'rail ; by the time I It:: them, they must have been close on that coast. 3lr. Sadler was attended at bin setting mn by all the fanlike in this rity at (Lis quiet seance ; I tnyselt noticed the Earls of ruithnemi and Leven; Sir Alexander Ibm. John slariorihankn, Arm. Forbes, W.

About one o'clock Mr. Sergeant Vaughan entered the Court, and the ease was called on. 3lr. Sergeant V t• *HAN observed, that it was his intention IX move rot a new trial in this case, if his I.o..lship (the Lord Chief Justice who tried it) should find any thing in his notes to justif y such a mo:inn. The Loan Cotes JI'STICF.—If any thing can justify It, lad Court will hear you with the utmost patience. The Lord Calk Justice then proceeded to read his notes of the trial. It will be rsvolletted that Thorteles house was batmen, and that he sued the County Fire (Mee for a sum of I. While the amount of the insurance.

After the evidence had been rend over— M r. Sergeant Vaughan addressed the Court forThanstD:urtel t. and expressed a hope that he would be able to she* the Court tft.;t the verdict against his client was not justified by the evidence given on the trial. It could not he doubted but that the introduction the name of John Thurtell had excited considerable prejudice against his client. (The Lord Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Bailey here w•thdrew fur a short time, and on their return the learned Sergeant resumed.] lie feared that the sins of one brother were visited upon another All the evidence given might be true, but he denied its application to the use of his client. The charge woe made against four persons of fraud against the County Fire Office, concocted and di gested by them. But of all the evidence, "te greater per, of it applied not to acts or sayings of Thomas Thortell's, but to ?hoie of John, his brother. The hand of Thomas was net seen doing any one act, nor his voice beard saying one word ; in fart, through the whole of the indictment, whenever the name of Thomas ap. pared, they should real for it the name of John. True, the de mand was made on the Fire Offics by Thomas ; but what was there to shew that the fraud might not have been committed without im plicating Thomas ? Mr. Juatire Bar r —You are not te assume, Brother Vaughan, that there is no evidence; there is that of Margrete, stating that parcels of the goods had been taken away a fortnight and throw weeks before. Mr. tiers:eats t Vara lIIA w—The only evidence Is that which states Thomas Thartell to have made the applitation to the Fire-office, and that he was, after the flee. seen with Snowden at the Poulterers' Arms, !Snowden basing beea the agent of John ThunelL It was very unfairly pressed at the trial, that while the goods were all de stroyed, yet that the invoices were all preserved. And how stood the Met, that after the tire the persons of whom the goods were bought furnished them. It was aim, said that orders were given to have the partitions wide of light dealt but who gave the directions to fit up the premises ? Not Thomas Thurtell—he was not seen in the transartion ; although, perhaps, John Thortell might have had the guilty intention imputed to him. But if Thomas had been a patty , to it, why was he not convicted by act or deed, of wine participation In the transaction ? Thomas Thurtell did not lire near the plum when the lire tesettrred; he knew nothing of the practices of John 'Morten, though an attempt was made at the trial to show that he did. There was a total severance of connexion between John and Thomas, and a particular want of communion abotit the time of the fire. Thomas Thurtell admitte4 to Mr. Barber Beaumont that he was on the premises the day before the fire, but added that John and Ennison remained after him. 'Why, then, because of that admission, conclude the goat of Thomas? The conclusion should be entirely the other way. If Thomas had been conscious of any guilt, world be hare made any admission to criminate him self ? The LORD OPT!' JrSTICE—Btu was not this all for tit' Jury ? , Jr. Justice Rayl.ET—l de not think that whether the party had been wilfully guilty of setting the Moir on ere or not, that we have much to do with ft. There might have been a conspiracy to defraud the tire office even lithe lire were accidental. Mr. Sergeant VAtrarAN would then dismiss that part of the subject. There was nothing to chew that, with revect to the safe of John to Snowden, Thomas had any knowledge or participation in it. The fraud was intended by John and executed by him ; ttio goods were sold for ready-monev. and, in fact, there WWI nothing to affect Thomas, beyond the evidence of Mr. Beaumont , t h a t h w (Thomas) h ad deelared his being in company with Snowden at the Poulterers' Arms. The produce of the goods sold went into dm hands of John, and there was no communication between John and Thomas until sfter the tire. The Lone Cult). J csv7a—lf Metre to gn through the evi_ donee, let tut point to that which was given. Mr. Barbee Beaumont said, that Thum!' told hint be could procure the Invoices. Mr. Sergeant VAITOIIAS did not think that this point should be so strained. He doubted whether original invoices were meant, or invoices furnished by the sellers of the diffivent articles. The LORD CHIEIP JUSTICE—Why, you were called upon at the trial to produce those papers, and why did you not produce them ? Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN—Then, my Lord, I shall not further proceed on these topics. I know nay duty her it rather to speak an mitigation t but as the opportunity was affbrded me, I thought it right to take advantage of it. and eiprest any doubts I had upon the evidence. Thomas Thurtell had been already nine months in prison. The Loan (' It trr Jl•liTtet —Not on this charge. Mr. Sergeant l'a ~ •(..11 A ht-1 have certificates to shew his eat( of health, and I hop,: y .aur Lordships will not lan upon a bruised recd, but only deal by my unhappy client as the stern necessity ci the law requires.. Several effidavits were then put in from Drs. Merryman and Scott, relative to the broken state of health of Thomas Thune and his wife; and from the Rev. Won. Watson, and other clergy men, giving Thomas Thurtell an excellent character for a period of ten can; and also from the prisoner himself, entreating tl e merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. lion wry put in an affidavit from Snonden, stating that he was only an agent in the sale of the goody to John Thtutelt as.l knew nothing of any conspiracy, and could hate called friends to his character, but for his name being emaciated with Thurtell. Several affidavits were also put in from respectable tradesmen, giving Snowden an excellent character. Mr. CtnrTy then said a few words for Thurtell in mitigatkin, principally dwelling on the fact that If the Court considered him they would take into consideration that he had not acted for his own benefit, but ter that of his creditors; and that the Coart of Common Pleas hod refused to set aside the verdict had against the County Fire Office._ 3I r. 11;t: r n r EY said ;few words in mitigation for Snowden. 3lr. St:ARIA:TT was heard in aggravation, and defended 31r. Beaumont, thorn he thought worthy of the 'probation of eve:y honest man WI the conduct be pursued all through this transactio”. The 'Coy T deliberated tw a few minutes, when Mr. Justice BAIL,: v proceeded to give jodgment. It was his painful duty to bemotince the judgment of the Court ou the prisoners, who ht it ben timnil guilty of a very heinous offence, of which a doubt could not exist in the mind of any rational man. Md could not sr v whether the tire was accidental or not ; he hoped It was so % for the pri%oners would have the less to answer for. That, however, they hail been guilty of a gross frivol was not to be denied. The condaet of Snowden in the sale to 31argnive evidently sheered tiro he knew a foul transaction tau in agitation t his conduct was such as no honest man should have adopter!. One could not help lameut ing that innocent wires and children sere obliged to suffer for the crimes of parents, hut crimes should not therefore pass unpunished. The four had given this case every consideratiom and their judg. nirnt was, that the prisoners. Thomas Thunell and John Snow den, should be severally imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol of Nev. - gate for the space of two years.
