I have :mg bee n in lini the habit of re ong that journal , end I think the absence of the gen tleman who writes the City Article may easily be traced ; 1 he would not have shown so slight a knowledge of business, as reganla the e ffecting of Insurances. There is no el uht of the Colombian Minister having received accounts from Ids Grover anent of the intention of „ m i n ing specie to England to pay Dividends upon the leans contracted here. In consequence of that information, the Mi n i ste r gave orders to insure 800,000 dollars as part of the intended remittance.

One or two traits of ignorance are be trayed in the article to which I allude. It is asked why Mr. Buristio has rot himself applied directly to some of t ap ( n ot;-era? The answer is, it would have appeared ridi culous. Surprise 1•1 ales expressed, and both unfair and unwise inferences are drawn &MU the Underwriters claiming a quarter per cent. for cancelling Dr for short inb r. st. The writer of the article oug:it to have known that this is fre quently done in large time policies, and generally to the extent of a half per cent., itesterel of a foam r. It ought also to saws beau stated ti it the pie-opium on ships of war was SOL, and not tos. ; but there is no fear of the quarter per mut. being paid, as the shipments will undoubtedly be made. The Minister is accessed of lending his name to stock speculations. Those pereons who know Mr. Hurtado are convinced he is too honourable, too higli-minekal, and too itelefendent, to have iliac so: would I could say as much for the percales connected with the Tinier ! That a know ledge of a large remittance from Colombia would tend to advance the price of its securities must he ob%ious. The fact was as well known at Lloyd's on Tuesday morning ; as it is now, and it Insist have been as gratifying to the bowel-holders as it is injurious to those who oppose them. I will here take leave to obs rve, that, in the absence of the gentleman who writes the City accounts, the Editor of the Times attends at Bireliin-lane. Whit the assistance of Daniel klardesole, in all probability, lie wrote the ar ticle " from the City" himself ; and then, in a It stling paragraph, be roc emmenda our artic le from the City to at tention, as containing rather the elements of judg ment than a positive judgment or absolute decision on the Colombian Bands. This is rather a puzzling definition foe the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, and basso teased Clem, that same are induced to exclaim, with Mr. Liston, " Really this is too much." But not contented with the City article, and a leading one, the editor mites in another paragriph, " That since writing the above we have ascer tained that Mr. Hurtado has been out of town since Mon day morning." The fact is, Mr. Hurtado was in the City on that day until very near four o'clock. But how did the Time a get this information ? Why, by se 'Oleg a messenger to Portland-place, "who just peeped iii" to bring forth an untruth. Now, Sir, 1 would ask what inducement could the 7'imes have for sending to Portland-place for such in formation? It is whispered, for " stock jobbing ;" but I eon% believe it!—it must have been to put the public upon their Fund. That Mr. II email° should have given his orders es the gentleman who effected the insurance is praiseworthy ; the re are few persons better acquainted with the affairs of Ce lonbis than that gentleman, the greatest part of hie time has Len passed in acquiring an intimate knowledge of its con ceres,both pail tie al and tinancial,from the earliest days o f t h e declaration of its independence. This circumstance was not unknown to the former agents of the Government, and they became his decided enemies. Mr. Hurled° could not rtp ply to them; the one party have failed, and have forced Mr. Hurtado to seek redress at the hands of the Lord Chancellor; the tethers have broken up their establishment. Had the loan contractors kept their faith with Colombia, a dividend would not have remained unpaid since July last. Mr. Hutted() was thus left to exercise his own free will ; he did so, and, in giving his orders it appears lie has once more aroused the enemies of Mr. Hendrick; but that gentleman and his friends must be pleased to observe the letter of Mr. Bated° in the Pebliejedg..r,New Tinies,and Pres.; hut to tl.e shame of the Tdoes be it said, that they received tl e same form of letter from Mr. Hurtadds solicitor yesterday afternoon, the Editor protnising to ingot it. It was also sent to the Corrirr, but too late. Why did the Editor suppress this letter, and insert another in the Times? Mr. Hurtado's denial of the imputations are firm and manly, and his remark about the insurance is satisfactory end gentlemanly. I hope the gentlemen connected with the Times may be caught in the snare they have set for the unwary. I may probably trouble you again with some remarks respecting that Journal and the Colombian Loans; and, by giving oc cisieeal references to some of its numbers during the last two years, call your attention to what I conceive has been the motives which actuated the occasional writers of the City and other Articles for the time. VERITAS. Lsiteo.—A Liter from Algiers, dated 6th .S:•p tenilrer, says—" We have heard from Tripoli that a strong report, nay, almost an authenticated one, had arrived there of poor Major Laing, and all his party, having been mur dered by one of 113 c tribes in the desert called Twenties. What s melancholy catastrophe, if true! Ile married the Consul's (Colonel Warrington's) slaughter the day before he set off on his exist-anion." As the last accounts of Major Laing came through Tripoli, w,hich has much more frevent co.nmanications with central Africa than Algiers possesses, and as these accounts announced his arrival near Tnnbuctoo, where the dangers from the tribes of the desert would nearly cease, we arc strongly disposed to believe that this report is unfottntlerl.--Ncofsmon.

Some days since a lady of property, the aunt of a Mr. 1 S., a most respectable tradesman, residing on Holborn bridgo, advertised for a companion, as she was desirous of taking a house a few miles from town, and wished to avail herself of the society of an agreeable individual of her own sex, and in her own rank of life ; the advertisement di j meted application to be made to Mr. S. on Holborn ' bridge, and on the day following its insertion a gentleman called, and stated that he had come for the purpose of making application to an advertisement which appeared in the Timex, with the signature of A. B. Mr. S. replied . that he was surprisca that he should apply : be mist he mistaken, for it was for a respectable female ; to which the aspirer to wealth replied, it was for a young female rela tive en whose behalf he came; in consequence of this Mr. S. very readily gave the applicant al.! lady's address, and on this he departed, observing, that an answer would soon be forwarded to the principal. A few days afterwards tate lady received a letter, on opening, the contents astonished and perplexed her, as it began in the imparsionate language of a lover, and tan throughout with everlasting asseverations of love and con ' stancy ; immediately on its receipt she forwarded a letter, in which was enclosed the before-named epistle, to Mr. S., who immediately conceived that the gentleman who had called upon him, and elicited the lady s address, was the same individual who had written the letter. _ . Mr. S. proposed a plan, of a most ludicrous description, to punish the unwarrantable impudence of this fortune hunter, which on being approved of, a letter was de spatched to him, appointing an interview with the gay Lathed's, at Mr. Bull s, the King's Arms Inn, Holborn bridge, who w i re made acquainted with the bendness, and gladly joined in the scheme which hail been planned and concocted in his house, and the scene that ensued may be Ira rgineri by the following statement: — An old woman, seventy years of age, was obtained from St. Andrew's workhouse, the wife of a tailor, who was &used up in the style of a beautiful and fashionable young weman, with proper instructions how to act; for the pur pose of carrying on the farce, she was thickly veiled, which, by-the-by, was highly requisite, inasmuch as her counte nance was bcspotted with numerous carbuncles, meander ing wrinkles, and nostrils copiously supplied with an inter mixture of " Poulet's Rapee" and " Lundy Foot." At the appointed time the enraptured awl diainterestecl lover arrived, and was in due form ushered into the apart ment which contained (as he imagined) his enamorats. She was carelessly seated on a coech, and on his entering situ very courteously row and received him wilit many expres sions of pleasure. In conseqnence of the instructions which the old lady had received, she acted her part so well that a conversation ensued of a very amatory descrip tion ; in the course of which the " gay Lothario" took various freedoms with the " beloved of his -:oul." She in her turn was not backward in showing that he alone pos. seised her heart, and that she was both ready and willing to lay at his feet all her worldly wealth, would he only consent to be the " partner of her bed." On the lover re marking that the present moment wu the happiest he had ever before experienced, the lady rejoined that site thought, before she gave her final consent, that it would be neces sary that the state of both their affairs should be clearly known to each other, lest any thing unpleasant might blight their loves after marriage. " Oh, most certainly, my charming creature," said the " Sub ;" " the fact is, that I have an income of 2001. a year; but, in order that' you may not he deceived, I have two little ones, but of course they will not be a bar to our happiness." The lady made no reply to the latter part of her admirer's disclosure, and assured bun that she enjoyed an income of SOF. a year! and she thought that they might, upon the whole, live happy and comfortable. The gallant officer, on hearing that his fair one possessed such a scanty annuity, began to he sorry that he bail made' her any overtures, and how to get out of the dilemma he knew not ; at length, (after apologizing for having a very hail memory) lie said, " Madam, I am afraid that in stating how I was situated I have made a mistake, which I can assure you was entirely on account of my memory be ing very bad; but, instead of having two children depend ing on me for support, I have actually fuer ! " and he now seemed to wish to leave the room, when all of a sudden Mr. Bull and two other friends, one in the character of the lady's grandson, and the other as a solicitor, entered the room, and insisted that, as things had taken such a turn, an inereement should be immediately signeil,with a penalty, should either party decline the union. '!he gentleman who acted the part of the lady's grandson was particularly anxious that such a document should be executed, to protect the fair fame of' his dear graniltnamina ; the lover protested against such precipitation ; and Mr. S. and his friend, conceiving that they had sufficiently pitnished the contemptible crea ture, who was by this time much agitated, ordered him to quit the house, which he did with the utmost expedition, but not without being heartily laughed at by chamber maids, waiter!, coachmen, &c., as he walked, with a hur ried step, from the scene of his disgraceful exposure. is but justice to state that the poor woman engaged on this occasion went through the interview with great spi rit and ability, arid was liberally rewarded by her em ployers. HORRIBLE MURDER. On Tuesday mornirg the greatest consternation was ocessioned at beaMethead and its neighbourhood by the discovery oldie murder ci! two old people Ettiog on the borders of Fetcham Common, an old mat named Julio A tkhurtt, aged 94, and his homekeeper. Eltzabtth Hanes, aged 71. They inhabited a cottage in the midst of a small orchard, a plait ir it at mile from any other habitation. It was rumoured that the old man was witsessed of some property, the house, and some scree of land adjoining it were in his pos. 'elision. The murder was first discovered by a latl named Brown, who was employed by the deceased to gather in his crop of antes. This lad earne to the cottage on Friday morning, and called out the name of Elizabeth Haines, and not receiving no answer, he ap proached nearer the house, and observed the mow, as well as one of the windows, wide open. Ile eatedly called the inmates by their names, and received no answer. Ile hastened to inform MI parents of the eireuntrance. I is trot her re:timed with him ; era her entrance seeing no one below. the went tap stairs; at the heed of the staircase the was shocked on beholding the lifeless corpse of Eliza beth Haines. Mr. Gibbs was sent for, who, on witnessing me bodies of the two old pi opl?, despatched messengers to the different county Magistra - es resident in the neighbourhood and soon after the Rev. Mr. Rolland, the rector of Fetchain, Ilankey. Esq.. and the Rev. Mr. I-liberties, attended. Information wilt despatched to Union-hall pollee office, requesting two of the officers to he imme diately sent down. air. Hall, the chief constable. together with Wehard Pople, soon art iced at the cottage. Tire offilirs proceeded to examine the premises, and discovered that the house had been entered by the window that le.l into the ansh-lionte. None' l of the property appeared to trace been touched. On entering' the room up stairs the woman was observed lying on her back. The back part of her head was fractured. There were black marks on her neck as if an a'tenipt had been made to strangle her ; and one of her hands was bruised. To the right of the door the body of the old man lay on the bed, to which he had ben con. lined for the last few yenta. It presented u shocking sp.clacle ; bath of the hands were raised up over his head, as if defending it from the blt.ws of the murderer. Tire bed clothes were streaming wilt gore. As soon as the officers had examined each of the bodies, they pmceedett to search the room. but nothing was found to throw the slightest putotihle light on the discovery of the perpetrators. The will atom old man. beitsesthirm Iris eottatm and ground to Iris daughter, was untouched. Ntr. withstanding the vigilance of the Magistrates, nothing yet has transpired to throw any light or, this horrible afrair. We understand ;hat about three years ago, the old petit le had been robbed by a man, who wtts sulostquently tried and ,convicted for the offence. Since the murder, a rumour has gone abroad that this iodividual was seen in the ntiterbonthond of Epsom, a few days prior to the tragkal event. As yet the chief circumstances of the murder still remain involyad in mystery. he i TOE MURDER OF MR. TIIONIAR PUICF.—A discovery was made on Tuesday morning, in the warehouse occupied by this unfortunate gentleman at the tine of his decease, which may possibly be the means of lading to the detec tion of his inhuman murderer. On removing a board which was placed over a cupboard,' and enclosing the apace between it and the ceiling, in the room adjoining that in which his body was discovered, a small pistol was found, together with come powder, which had been evidently put there for concealment. The pistol was unloaded, and the hammer was down ; but, judzing from the evidence Riven at the iilquest, it is not probable that the deceased received his death from this instrument.--ifanelotster Herald.

STATE. MO! ?. Our market of Tuesday was less lively than we have noticed it for several wecks. There Was net, however, any decline in prices ; on the contrary, there seemed a deter mination on the part of some of the spinners, to obtain an advance. Upon the whole, we believe that the price of yarn nay h., quoted the same as last week. The decline in the demand for that article may undoubtedly be attri buted principally to the completion of the orders from Russia, which generally produces a stillness at this season. The demand for yarn for our own manufactures is not at all_aban d, but rather on the increase. There were fewer inquiries for goods than yarns, and the market in them was decidedly dull ; we have not however heard of any reduction in price. The wages of weaving continue the same; and if the market should continue inactive, the prospects of the poor weavers will become, as winter ap proaches, exceedingly distressing.---Mancherter Herald. THE GLOVE Tnaoc.—There Is at this moment an in creased demand for eloies, and neore hands are employed. We are also happy to find that the demand for French gloves has been more limited than was anticipated.—Wur- CCAtcr Journal. GLASGOW ) OCT. 10.—The sugat market opened yester day heavily, but before the close a very fair business was transacted at steady prices. The hoklers are, generally speaking, firm, anticipating an imptovement when the de mand becomes more extensive, which seems to be the ge neral opinion in London. The iron trade in this quarter has begun to participate in the general improvement. The stock on hand, which a few months ago was very consider able, is completely exhausted ; and, consequently, some delay is now unavoidable in the execution of orders. The price has advanced 10s. per ton ;*2•16. 1 being now 71., No. 2, 61. 10s., and No. 3, 61. per ton. The merease in the demand for castings may be considered a proof of more auspicious prospects among s thossi in the manufacturing line. GLASGOW, OCT. 11.—We have been informed, says the Glasgow Free Press, that the market remains much the ,acne as stated in our last publication. An advance has been asked in manufactured and printed goods, while what has been done, although extensive, has been at extremely low prices. It is very satisfactory to learn, that large shipments have been made by old established houses, who have come into the market, and bought freely, and that very few consignments to obtain advances have been made: this looks favourable, and indicates a more healthy state of trade. The vessels for foreign ports have, in general, re ceived full cargoes ; and those on the berths have, in many cases, theit cargoes engaged, although not to clear out be fore the middle and end of the month. The spinners com plain that they cannot obtain a rise in coarse yarns, while the wool has advanced Id. to id. per lb They are selling for immediate supply, at former prices. Fine yarns have maintained the advance, and the improvement must he gradual. We hear that the weavers are obtaining work, but at miserable prices. Such being their state, while provisions are extremely high, and no prospect of a fall, the condition of the poor labourer cannot be much im proved. A WHOLES.ILE SWINDLER. Notwithstanding the publicity lately give to the person's exploits who has passed under the name of Brock!chink, and described him self as the nephew of a gentleman of that name connected with the Steam Navigation Company, he continues to labour in his vocation with unretnisting ardour, and hitherto wish impunity. A few days past he drove up in a gig to the shop of Mr. Latter, silversmith, in the City-road, and purchased plate to the amount of upwards of thirty pounds. lie requested the bill of parcel might be made out, and sent with the piste, and offered the ehopman a seat in his gig, if he would accompany him to receive the money. lie stopped in Coventry-street, and said he wanted so show the plate to a friend, and requested the man would take the charge of the gig and horse until his return. After waiting two or three hours, he gave up all I hopes of his return, and returned with the gig and horse to his master, who caused it to be advertised. The gig was claimed by a livery-stable keeper, who refused to pay die expenses. This adroit knave succeeded in a similar manner in defrauding Mr. Massy, a silversmith, in Leadenhall-atreet. of plate to the amount of about 17/. The same person called with a similar equipage, at the shop of Messrs. Spink and Son, respectable jewellers, in aracechurch- Street, and ordered eighteen table.spoons, tor the use of the Steatn Navigation Company ; he said the Company had a large dinner a few days previous, and that some of the guests, in the exuberant° of their mirth and jollity, broke the heads of the spoons which were engraved, and walked nil with the bowls. lie requested Mr. Spink, jun. to send a little boy whom he taw in the shop, to receive the money for the spoons ; hut on 111 r. Spink'n calling the shopmarr to accompany the god/come, he said he would not trouble him, but would return in a short tine with the money. It is needle.s to say he never returned. On the same day he called at the shop of Mr. ,'&infield, a jeweller, in Chespeitle . Ads. D. had a presentiment that this was the grntlevinu teith der gig. who had been PO busy else ! where; he looked out 12 silver spoons, and 12 forks, of the value of 27 1 .; but perceiving Mr. Bantield eyed him very attentively, and was particularly on his guard, he did not ask as usual for a ' person to accompany hint in his gig; but ordered that the plate • should be ant to the Steam Navigation Company's office, and wrote on the back of the bill of parcels :he following order:— " Pay bi seer hereof the turn on the other side. " To Mr. Jones.. " J. lirocklebank, "Steam Navigation Company's Office... Mr. Bonfield went himself shortly after with the plate to the office ; and so well had lie imitated tile hand-writing of Captain Brocklebank, that the Secretary, Mr. Jones, had actually drawn a check on the bankers for the amount of the bill, before they dis covered that it was s forgery ; this document is in Mr. Bonfield's posoession. He called on horseback at the shop of Mr. Davis, in Holborn, and obtained a watch and scabs, value 81. leaving the horse in charge of the boy who was sent with him. Mr. Davis was more successful in his arrangements with the livery-noble keeper, as he secured a reward of M. advertised for the recovery of the how. ' on complaining to the owner that his horse was a party to the fraud. Mr. Beckett. jeweller, of Oxford-street, was also ho routed with a call from this wholesale swindler; he did not, how ever, succeed in designs. This swindler, who is now become notorious, is a man of about 25 years of age, of rather sallow cont. plezion, about live feet six inttte ill height ; was dressed in a suit of deep mourning; his manners and conversation are gentle manly, and well calculated to impose oa persons not strictly on their guard. RESUMED INQUEST ON THOMAS COOPER. Last evening, at half-put six o'clock. the Inquest on Thomas Cooper, who died front eating too large a quantity of rout goose, Man resumed at the 31a:quill of Granby, at Knightsbridge, before TIIO HAS HIGGS, Esq. the Deputy-Coroner for Westminster. The eitraordinary circumstances attending the death of the de ceased excited considerable curiosity in the neighbourhood, and tl e wholeof yesterday itinerant venders of street intelligence were very busy in circulating " • full, true, and particular account of the dreadful death of a cormorant, who was choked by a goose's neck sticking in his throat," and various jokes respecting it were afloat in the neighbourhood. Henry Parkins, of Adam's-mess, Grosvenor-square, who was examined on Wednesday evening, was again called, and stated, that when he took the deceased to the watelibouee he laid him on bin side, and asked him if he felt better, Lut he wan unable to speak. Ile never knew that he was a great eater before, but, in all his life, he never saw a man hare such an appetite as lie seemed to puttee+ at the ',Upper. (Many of the Jury could not refrain from laughing at thin deeliration.) llere the pieces of gout, were again produced; one of them was best part of the neck, which had been extracted from the deceased's gullet, where it hail lodged. Several other pevone who formed the supper party were present, and one or two of them were examined, but their evidence went merely to prove that after they had lett the house the deceased tip. peered unwell, and they thinking, that it arose from the effects of the liquor he had drank during the evening. conveyed hint to the watch house, Imo Lea I,toi eery carefully (town. Of course, if they had thought he hail been so near Ins giOnegesate tneyertimu tia.e toe cured him proper assistance, but they had no idea of his death, but thought t h at after he had slept a little, he would have come to his senses, and walked home. Juror—Pray dill either of you give him in charge ? Certainly not. Ile could have left the watchhouse whenever he pleased. The Coroner here addressed the fury, and said that it was pain. ful to hear that any human being should So exceed his nature by such gluttony. It would have been excusable if he had been in a state of starvation and wretchedness prior to his eating the goose, but that wan not the cue; he was a mar in good circumstances. The Jury had heard the evidence of the friends of the deceased, who he considered had acted kindly towards him ; and it would be for them to return their verdict a ccorditiglit. Verdict—" Died from suffocation." The East India Company's ship Abercrombie, Robinson, arrived at Bombay on the 3d of May, and the Orient at Quebec the 6th f:t ptetnber. The Orient left China on the 13th March, and St. Helena the Sth July. Last week an awful circurnstailes , occur red at Cave's Inn, in the parish of Churchover, Warwickshire. A drover was putting his cattle into the fichl near the inn, fur the and they were somewhat troublesome, not going as be wished. Ile swore so violently that the housekeeper re buked him, and begged he would swear no more. Ile answered her by another oath, and instantly dropped down dead before her face. CARR OP MR. BEND. [From the Sydnty SUPREME COURT, HOBART TOWN, Mow omr. MAT 15. Mr. Steph-n, the Solicitor-General, having given notice to Mr. Bent that he would be this day brought up to receive judgment upon the verdict returned agairst him, Mr. Gellibrand moved the Court in arrest of judgment, upon the ground that, as Mr. Bent hail been. found guilty of printing and publishing. and that the only evidence of publidiing was that lie had printed the article In qu alien, which Chief Justice Pedder had rut, d to include publishing, that such was a sefficient ground on which the judgment ought to be arrested. Mr. Gellibraiitl argued this point at considerable . length, and with his Igual ability, and produced a number of authorities in supprirt thereof.—. Mr. Hone and Mr. Stephen referred In the evidence of Mr. Evan Henry Thomas, and contended that his evidence went to the publishing. His Honour, the Chief Justlre, however, seemed to consider that Mr. Thomas's evidence was only general, and that it dot Ent extend to the particular newspaper produced as the trial; mai he consider rd Mr. fiellibrand'a objection to have so mush weigh , . that lie deferred delivering his judgment until next Monday, when Mr. Bent is to be again brought up to receive the same. l'osivcrim.—Friday, May 111, 3 p.m.-3Ve stop the press to announce that we have received information from a source in which we place touch confidence. that the Lieutenant Governor has re. ceived deep itches of the higliest importance, in 86 days, from Eng land. forwarded to Rio by a steam-parket, and from thence hire. per Atalanta. A 3lr. Ellison' is appointed Colonial Secretary, and may be daily expected. We have not time to make public the further information which has reached us until our next. SUPREME COURT, Moxinat, MAY 22, HUG. THE XING P. 11E2: 4 ... The point under discussion as to arrest of judgment in this ease was again argued this day, ansi Mr. Oellibrand, the Counsel for the defendant, was heard at considerable length. His Honour the Chef Justice remarked, that so far from there not being sufficient evidence of publication. It appeared to him that the case ha.; been proved three times over. lii• Honour cited the case of Elphinst one v. Baldwin, for publishing a libel in Ind, when it was ruLd that printing included publication, and the pesuf ef the former was suf. Reim' to prove the latter. Among others the case of the King against Pierce was instanced, fur a publication against the Duke of Athol, which was tried by Lord Kenyon, a strong protector or the litrevrios of the rapt, sod of the press . L ordship there sail that it was not necessary to prove the printing and publishing of the particular paper produced in Court. An affidavit of Mr. Bent was then read. The Learned Judge, in proceeding to pass sentence, nhaervNl that in the a ffi davit which had just been lead the defendant had stated that the libel was written by Mr. Thomas, and that he was ready to give up the author; his Honour cvuld not, how ever, forget that he had assisted in revising and correcting it over several hours, at.d in the defence ingeniously made by his Counsel, it was asked whether be could be considered to under stand such language; but Cie evidence showed that he perfectly underitiood every syllable of the article, and that he was aware it was to impute most improper conduct to the Lieutenant-Governer of this Colony, and that lie (the defendant) was treated in a tyran nical manner. When Mr. Thomas stated that some p tss:ges might be considered libellous, he hail wished him to produce a meliorating article, which he called " plaster for the womul." but there was no evidence that that had been done. Instead of which the very libels for which lie was then imprisoned hail been produced after the publication before the C.turt, and against the same person. Except his having a wife and family, his Honour did not scc much to entitle him to milption. The case was one of consennence in this Colony. It could not be permi•tol that any one should he charged with tyranny, where the perinea* ruling had duties to dis charge, as connected with the affairs of the people, difficult to ado give not known elsewhere. Ilia Honour did not forget that the defendant was tt.en under imprisonment, and lie took the circum stance of his having a wife and live children into consideration in fixing the amount of the fine as they might suffer. The sentence of the Court was, that he be bound to enter into recognizance to keep die peace, that he be imprisoned three cads: dar months, and that he pay a fine of 1001. to die King. His Honour added, that lie trusted the sentence would tench the defendant not to be the tool of a faction of the !Worst description. CORRESPONDENCE BET W EEN MR. KEM P AND 51 R. UELLI BRA NI).

From the native of the charges preferred a'ainst MP. as well an the letters of the Solicitor-General, which have been published, you cannot fail to have observed that the leading feature is the accusa tion of a strong poltical fe. ling on my part, hostile to the present Government, and of an admiration of writings stated to he of the same tendency. How far these charges have been supported by proof I have al ready submitted to the public, by the publication of the case on the part of the prosecutors. It is upon this ra.-parie statement (for evidence I cannot call it) that his Excellency has considered him self warranted in removing me front the dullest, and to deprive me of the salaries of my office; hut against wh i ch removal I have appealed to This Majesty in Privy t ouneil, under the terms of the Statute. 1 ant perfectly well satisfied that the mind of his Excellency Ills been prejudiced by these representations: but it is well known that I have never mixed with politics, or identified myself with any party. I have upon tvery occasion tried to preserve the honour and dignity of the Crown on the one hand, and the rights and liberties of the people on the other, note of which I hope have suffered in my hands. Linder these circumstances, and pending the appeal, I am under the painful necessity of declining the invitation which has been so kindly conveyed to me ; and, in doing so, I assure you I feel most deeply the friendship and assistance of those gentlemen alto have authorized you to make the present communic Mon, and that this obligation is increased by the selection of yourself as the organ of communication.

Thin wan an action brought by an uncle against the defendsot. Inc the seduction of his niece, who was his servant, per pod semi film antisil. 1% r C. Ltw opened the pleadinge. Mr. J. WILLIAMS stated th e cane to the Jury. They had teamed from the opening of Isis junior, Mr. Law, the nature of the present *diem. and it was unnecessary to sly one word about the nature ofd case so serious to don:retie happiness and the private peace of a family. The Learned Counsel knew, from some ex. perience in Courts of Juerice, that either eloquence or declamation upon such painful subjects operated little in favour of a case, on less it were substantiated upon clear and satiseactory evidence; and if these ingenious instrument: of the advocate were employed with. out good foundation, they proved in the result to be only empty rm: CI, and tierfectly prodtlees :rt a plelntlff. Upon the present et. cadein, the learned Counsel was Fite to allow that his client was in what are called the lower ranks of society ; but having stated that fact, lie felt bound to ed I that he possessed those renames. dation' which put him upon a level wi h the most wealthy man °fallen/dote Ile possessed Wmeety and integrity, and %mime his reputation had been spotless Ire could not have ohtained the situation *lnch he had long held of of ticket-porter in the city of ',Hendon. The unfortunate girl, whose nen was the foundation of the present action—lndeed he cught to call her child, for she was but sixt,en—was the daughter of a brother of the plaintiff, who died in MIS, leaving six children behind him. Their mother had also paid the debt of nature, and they were all orphan.. But their fattier had left them all creditably. though not amply, provided for. He had •beipiestlied to them all hit savings during at , industrious life, ainonatin.4 to shout 3,0001., which made this young flOrnan'S share equal to :Ylo/. The orphans were left in the care et tht plaids tiff and another brother, who, dying soon after, remitted the whole charge ro the pleintiff. It occurred to him, as he had been reared in habits of industry himself, that the MOH prudent course to afloat towards his nephews and nieces would be to place them in a w.ty to are.iiire their peen livelihood. It wa. a prop:lr opinion, every, one wouh: think, unless from the emit they should change theft orb he:, at:(1 think he had forrniel It most improvident and en; guarded judgment. Eliralieth Maned!, however, was placed out at service in the !melee of a most respectable manufacturer hi Groweelturch-street. Misfortunes like the present often arose front the house of the seducer beino contiguous to that of his prey, arid the hunted Coimsel thought his Lordship recollected some i*. *fences in proof of this potation, thouelt the Jury might nor. la this case the defendant's house was immediately oppnsi:e to lilt. Nicholle's, and the le:arm:II Counsel supposed the defendant would think he was paying him a co:npliment when he stated that he NMI it man of some appearance not at all unlikely to captivate the effete hone of an innocent and unguarded girl. He carried on the basi. ness of a bent and slfoe maker in a most respectable way, anise rent:) , ; and from the situation of his %louse the unfortunate lining woman Who teas the victim of his seduction *as repeatedly ono dented to his clew. The Learned Counsel was told that she had attractions. It might be so; certainly the de. fondant theught so ; ie a certain sense of the word, he bee cone " in love" with her. It Wes not, however, the pure lace Which !Lich a phrase might to convey. It was that appetite which the gourmand entertained towards a peach or Is On. tririne—a love that admired it only with a wish to consume it. However, he had his passion to gratify, and the Jury would pet. crave he punned it to satiety with the most determined resolution. Ile thought the fitted way to commence his attack was by letter writing, and accordingly he wrote an anonymous letter, which he . caned to be given to the girl. appointing a place of me. ting ; brit this she pursed unnoticed. She received a second letter from the defendant, and the did not attend to that. She received a third. appointing another assignation, and to that she unfortunately list. cited. The Leaened Counsel believed the third letter was destroyed I by the unhappy girl, but its contents were ettch as to induce her to give the defendant a meeting. which accordingly took place. dilly wet hint ; he knew her; and from that the fatal intercourse was lid on until it was coneuminned by her destruction. It was, however, worth the attention of the Jury to observe the Menner in which On insidious advances of the defendant were commenced, and that Would be beet evinced by the first letter, se follows: " Saturday morning, II o'clock, February 18, 1826. " A gentleman who has no means of learning your name offers you every analogy for addressing this note in the manner he has done ; but he can no longer refrain front requesting you would favour him with an interview. The sediments of respect with which you have inspired hint induces him to request you would for a few minutes allow him to speak to you. Pray do meet him to. morrow morning. Sunday, at It o'clock, on the Soothwark-bridge. Thames-street. He will be there at the appointed time, when lert trusts you will oblige him with a few minutes' conversation. The individual who writes this is not *holly unknown to you. Ad. dressed ' For the housemeid, Mr. Nicholls's, 61, Grunted+. street. " In this letter it week: be seen that the defendant affected the greatest respect and devotion towards the object of his feigned effet• Mins. in his interview with her subsequently, he acted with the mod con:omit:ale skill. His protestations were of eternal love, his vows were of everlasting attachment. and his ardour was of the most'etiblinie and pure quality. The Learned Counsel knew very well, and tie was sure the Jury knew equally well, the sum, sub. stit.ce, teed meaning of all this, when addressed by a man of thirty to a girl of sixteen. The COMMON SERGEANT (in a subdued tone)—You had bet. ter answer for yourself, and not include the Jury in your experience. Mr. Wliadens, in continuation—His Leaned Friend told hint to answer for himself. He could only say that two s'y old foxes. like his Learned Friend and himself, knew the value of such pro. testations to an unguarded girl as well as any one. They meart just about as much—though scarcely —as, fal, la, la, in a song but to an unguarded child of sixteen they meant all that the seducer could wish. To her, whose passions were all alive, but whose prudence was unawakenee—to her, whose hewn was warm, but whose head was unguarded—to her, believing the weild innecfnt as hereelf, while experience left her hopes elide:lied, sincerity breathed in every vow, and suspicion Iv e it fled while her rein was effected. She did believe this man--she did give confidence to his protestat,ons—she thought he loved her—she loved him, and in reliance on his honour. she surrendered rinibeiearleyweene.miSnielndeeentiotToinfs4tpehiarrlewe,itahnila k the o gu wied ile g f e ol o ti f a t t il t e er w y " a W ; neducer's tongue, were fearful odds. In this state of the case th e , defendant often saw her ; letters passed, and the poor girl had on 1 reason to doubt his sincerity. Ile was most desirous she should quit the service of Mrs. Nicholls, as he professed a disinclination :0 place anheirgofrotonthstertultn:culdees,. an o d n fi t n h a e lly .lt i ti nd o u i ced May he b r e tvoi,zuedit her. and took her out upon the pretence of going to the Exhibifon.

After a great deal of persuasion she consented to remain with him all night, and he wrote the following letter to her uncle, upon the pretence of ac. counting fer her absence. " City-road. DEAR SIR,— I trust you will excuse yonr niece getting marrir.l w Lhout your knowledge ; but I will call upon you to-morrow morn. Mg, and explain." unlAppy girl am not see what was written, but,stiprosing was a most ample excuse for her remaining from home, she re mained with the defendant in the lodging. She acted most tit - wisely. She acted—for her future happiness, on this side of t: e grove, nt least-100it fatally ; but, Gentlemen, she was only six , teen. She owned to the plaintiff's honourable protestariona, and he ought to be the last person to blame her, for she believed them to be trite. Site did believe him—she won undone. In the morn ing eorly he departed from her, giving her reason to suppose and believe that he was going to see her uncle, to prepare every thing regnisite, and to return in a short time, when they would be mar. tied. Then came a letter, which, if yon should hear read withami horror, excuse me if I say I have taken a very incorrect view au you as men, and I have formed too favourable an opinion of' your hearts and tinderstandings. The letter runs thus -- " Tuesday, 12 o'clock, May 30.
