The annual exhibition of stock at Horsham, of the Members of the Bramber Agricultural Asso ciation, was most respeczably attended on Friday, the 17th instant. We were gratified to witness the competition, particularly us to heifers and cows, shewing that the spirit of this useful institution 1:35 not declined under the general depression of ogr;culture, which has occasioned other associations of a similar description to suspend their meetings. At three o'clock the company moved from the field to the King's Head Inn, where a party of H eade fifty sat down to an excellent dinner; the lenison was a present from Walter Burrell, E.g. M.P. The Chair was filled by Sir Charles Mtrrik rmurrell, Bart. M.P. the President, supported by J. , :m Wood, Esq. our High Sheriff, and James M:irtiti Lloyd, Esq. M.P. There were also pre sent—.

Robert Tredcruft, Rev. J. A.hridge, James Brnadwood, Esq., W. Knowlys, E'4l , John Martin Cripps, Es' q , Robert Aldridge, Esq. and a uuniber of other gentle men of the first respectability. Amongst other appropriate toasts, the Chairman proposed the health of the Vice-Lord Lieutenant of the county, accompanied with an eulogium on his Lordship's meritorious exertions and unremitted attentions in promoting the interests of agriculture. The Chairman read the award of the Judges of the animals, and delivered the prizes to the success ful candidates.

Whatever may have been the objects of those who called, or those who composed the meeting at Manchester, which was attended with such disastrous coesequences, the laws of the land ought, unquestionably, oa that melancholy oc casion, to have been respected; whether they were so or not is the question now eagerly asked by all impartial persons. A nyetterapt to stifle a fall isiveetiption of the circumstances connected with this question, should it for a moment If contemplated by those is power, would not only be highly injurious to the cause of truth, and the best interests of the country, but extremely piling to the friends and relatives of those who have fallen, or who have been sufferers in these iinfortimate transactions; and also to the feelings of an anxious, loyal, open-bearted, but now, alas! much distressed and deeply-agitated (not to say irritated) nation. The Ministers, with breathleu haste, prejudge this im. portant question, while they are anthoritatively calling on others not to do so.

Neither tears nor entreaties could prevail on I to restore the barrow; she told him her distressed situation, and stated that it contained all her earthly substance, and was the only support of herself and five children, besides a sick husband; he was inexorable; he wheeled the barrow along, she following, crying and entreating him to restore it : but nu! As he was crossing the sheet with it, the pave ment sank ender his feet, in cuasequence of the sewer fall ing iu, and he was engulfed, and on attempting to ex triode lonsioeW, the earth WI each side kept pouring in, until he was Marled is it above bis waist, and looked like Gulliver in the eierrow-bone.

The Lord Mayor asked, was there any chance of their agreeing as to the Under-SherifiS to be sworn in ? Ort which Alderman Bothwell, in a firm and emphatic manner, replied, there certainly was nut. Some conversatiou ensued, during which the Lord Mayor declared, that he had neither the power nor the inclination to settle the private differ. ences of these Gentlemen—that they roust go to another tribunal, and no Under-Sheriff fur the pre sent could be sworn in. " But," added his Lord ship, " if you do not agree, an Under-Sheriff must be sworn for each of iließheriffs." His Lordship then rose, and adjourned the Court, and with the Recorder, the Shei IX, Alder men, &c. retired. On his way through the Ball lie was assailed with increased ardour by the people. His Lordship remained inside fur a very considerable time, in hopes perhaps that the people might di►- perse, but the crowd seemed rather to increase every moment, and on his Lordship's departure front Guildhall a scene commenced which would beggar all description—which, therefore, we shall not attempt to paint.

Peace and Gifting, and Miss Edwards, all of Tewkesbury, appearing iu your lout-nal of Monday last, and having been from thence copied into sonic of the London and Provincial Papers, I am induced to Ore the following statement of the transaction alluded to, and of the circumstances preceding it, which the public may rely upon are founded in troth. Mr. James Peace. an attorney residing in the town of Tewkesbury, bad formed an acquaintance with :Oka Edwards, who Is a young lady possessed of vary superior persoual accomplishments, and who will, on the decease of her mother. become entitled to at ample fortune. This ac quaintance bad continued for a conviderahle length of time. and was • few mouths ago broken off, in consequence. at I have been informed, of some improper conduct on the part of Mr. P. towards Miss E. After Mr. P. had been in due form discarded as a lover, he still persisted in annoying the lady, and mule every possible effort to renew the acquaiut ance, which Miss E. would not permit. Mr. P. conceiving that the mother of Miss E. was the canoe of the daughter's conduct towards him, actually threat coed to shoot the former with a pistol. Fur this offence he was apprehended and taken before the County Magistrates I at Tewkesbury, who committed him to the prison at Glou cester for want of hail : a few days after he had been coo ltimed, two gentlemen of Tewkesbury became bound in re cognisauces for his appearance at the then uext General Quarter Sessions for the county of Gloucester, and in the mean time to keep the peace, &c. At those Sessions, held in the mouth of July last, Mrs. and Miss E. appeared, and prayed that the sureties of the peace might be continued till I the Michaelmas Sessions, which was ordered by the Magi strates. ^ F For a considerable time after this, Mr. P. behaved ex tremely well, and his friends hoped that his pas. • for Miss E. hail completely subsided ; but in this, as will appear by the sequel, they were deceived. About a month ago Mrs. and Miss E. went to Aberystwith for the purpose of sea bathing ; Mr. P. by some means obtained information of their going there, and immediately set out in pursuit of them. Mr. Richard Gittins. of Tewkesbury (between wlwm and Mrs. E. some degree of intimacy subsisted, in consequence of his being a tenant of her's of a malthouse ant premises in Tewkesbury, but who 1 am confident was not a suitor of Miss E.'s) had about the same lime gone to Shrewsbury. on a visit to some friends of his, resident at that place. Mr. G cer tainly knew that Mrs. and Miss E. were at Aherystwith, but he had not made any previous engagement to meet them there. Some of the friends of Mr. G. at Shrewsbury, having signi fied their intention of paying a visit to Aherystwith, Mr. G. engaged to accompany them to that place; and on his ar. rival at the Talbot Inn there, the first person he saw was Mr. James Peace. On calling at the lodgings of Mrs. and Miss E. for the purpose of paying his respects to them, Mr. G. learnt that Mr. P. had arrived there the preceding day ; and both Mrs. and Miss E. were apprehensive that he was come there for the purpose of annoying them, as he had previously done at Tewkesbury. Mr. G. then determined on continuing for a few days at Aherystwith, that be might have an opportunity of affording Mrs. and Miss E. that pro tection which he consderell them entitled to. In the morning of Friday the 10th iwilant, Mr. G. was walking on the Terrace at Aberystwith, in company with Miss E. and a Lady of her acquaintance, of the name of Hatch; Mr. P. (who had before made several attempts to join Miss E. in the course of her walks, awl to hold conver sation with her, and also to obtain an interview with her mo ther), made his appearance, and attempted to join the party, which Mr. G. endeavoured to prevent. Mr. P. at length came near to Miss E. and after looking her in the face, he said, " She laughs! she laughs!" Ile then dropped behind the party; and, in a few moments afterwards, Mr. G. saw Mr. P. in the act of pointing a pistol at Miss E. the muzzle of which touched her back. At this instant, Miss E turned her head and elm Mr. P. with a pistol in his hauil,wherenpon she ran away, accompanied by Miss 11. and took refuge in an adjoining house. Mr. G. when be saw Mr. P. present the pistol at Miss E. endeavoured to wrest it from him; but Mr. P. prevented this by stepping back a few pacer, ' and discharging the pistol at Mr. G. the ball from which passed very near his head. Mr. P. instantly took from his pocket anuther loaded pistol, cud pointed it at Mr. G.; but two gentlemen of Mr. G.'s acquaintance, who had heard the report of the first pistol, ran up and secured Mr. P. who up peered frantic with rage, and cried out, " Shoot me ! shout me !" As rightly stated in your last Journal, Mr. P. was tried at the Cardigan Assizes, fur the otfeuce of shooting at Mr. G. with an intent to kill, and acquitted, on the ground, as I am informed, that the Judge who presided on the occasion was of opinion, that, under the circumstances of the case, if Mr. P. had actually killed Mr. G. the offence would have been only manslaughter. Ou this opinion of the Judge 1 shall make no comments whatever. At the same Assize; a bill of indictment was preferred against Mr. P. fur assaulting Miss E. by presenting the pistol at her, as before stated, which bill was found true, and Mr. P. entered into the usual recognizance for trying his tra verse thereto at the next Assizes. He is also, as I said before, under a recognizance to appear at the sleet Sessions at Glou cester, where I have tin doubt evidence will be produced before the Magistrates of his recent conduct towards Miss E. at Aberystwith, and that they will on that occasion act according to law. I am, Sir, 'oar., &c. JOHN STEPH ENS. Tewkesbury, Sept. 25, 1819. SWEARING IN of the NEW SHERIFFS. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a Court of Common Hall, for the purpose of solinintstering the usual oaths to Mr. Alderman Bothwell nod Mr. Parkins, previous to their taking upon them The important office of Sheriffs of the City of Lon don and of the County of Middlesex. The Lord Mayo: arrived at Guildhall in his state coach, attended by the usual officers. H.s Lordship. since his notable discovery of tieit horrid conspiracy to burg this ancient city and ill murder its peaceable suit loyal inhabitants—ii discovery which he considered so valuable as to keep to him self and the Ministers—has unfortunately field appeured in public without encomiterinz certain marks of public opinion by no menus flattering to his feelings. The moment his Lordship appeared. he was received by the people with every expres aim' of ridicule and contempt : eterutil looses. cries of " Murder ! Murder ! Eire ! Fire ! Fire !" followed by loud and scornful Mogi:ter, served, in *rime degree, to express their liiglc opinion of the First Magistrate of the City. Mr. Parkins arrived shortly after, unattended by any of the Members of the Corporati 111 l , and in '4 very private mariner. Alt. Aldermen [lodisedl did nut arrive until considerably after two o'clock. A band of music and the display of niaiiy flags, an nounced his approach. The gay and gaudy procession of the worthy Al derman consisted of a number of carriages, many of the Fishmonger's' Company, and other peroo•, sloe friends anal adherents of the new Sheriff. Alder man Rothwell, with so.ue of the Board, and many Members of the Common Coaticil, Liverymen. &c. having entered the Hall, the Lord Mayor shortly niter appeared, together with th e Record e r. Aldermen, &c. As lie approached the upper cod of the Hall he was greeted with the same litrruar— the same shouts of "fire.!" and " murder!" of drowned in the loud hisses or hoarse laugh ter of the people. His Lordship having taken his seat, the Town Clerk summoned, iu a loud voice, the new Sheritia to appear and take the usual oaths. Alderman Bothwell and Mr. Parkins then stood forward. 'the latter Gentleman iteiti a written pa per, cootaitting a Protest against Mr: Alderman llothwell'is being sworn in as Senor Sheriff. Mr. Parkins, in a low time of voice, teudered this Protest to the Lord Mayor. The Recorder said, that the law of the land did not bear Mr. Parkins out in his objection, aud that no Protest should he received. Mr. Parkins ohjected to the Recorder's inter ference. li e said he Was not adviveb,iieg him, but the Lord Mayor. The Recorder replied, that lie was addressing the Lord Mayor, it was true, but that lie (the Re corder) was the legal adviser of his Lordship, awl in that character he would say, that the objection of Mr. Parkins to the seniority of Alderman Roth well was not founded on the law, aud that no Pro test from hint could be received. The Lord Mayor said, the Racorder was his ad •iser, and he would he guided by hint; lie would decline receiving any Protest. Mr. Parkins—" 1 felt that I woniil not discharge sty duty to the Liven• of Lendon if I :lid hot ten der this Protest to your Lord-hi l t. I cannot berm you to take it, but I ant doing my duty in laying it on this table. There is me Protest."—plr. Par kins then laid the Protest on the table before his Lordship.] The Sheriffs were next sworn into office. The chain was first put round the peek of Mr. Alderson,' Rothwell. It was rich and beautiful in the extreme, very heavy, and of the finest gold. Mr. Parkins's chain was next put round him. It was far inferior to the chain of the other Sheriff, and displayed neither taste nor elegance in the work manship. When both Gentlemen were invested with the symbols of office, they stepped forward to pay the usual marks of respect to the Livery, and were received with applause, mixed, however, with some disapprobation. The Under-Sheriffs were next to be sworn. Alderman Rothwell named Mr. Turner. Mr. Parkins named Mr. Jackson (ate publisher, we understand, of Cobbeirs Itegirter). Objections were taken by each of the Sheriffs to the finder-Slieriffit respectively nominated by Isis colleague, and they retired for a short tittie, to conic, if possible, to some arraii.mment.

Mrs. Browne, one of the stewardeesea, said, she was not in office when the Complainant declared on the box, or else it should be attended to, as the Complainant had wit,. d the Clerk of the Society with a proper declaration. She ender stood the reason for not complying with the demand was, there were not funds; but that was all . fedqe, all they had 1501. in the Four per Cents, and half a year's dividend due, besides there were :Of. in the box.
