BRIGHTON, SEPT. 17. It has been rumoured that the Prince Regent will honour us with Ins presence during the winter season. We shall he most happy to find it con firmed. Our arrivals have been extremely numerous this week. Manly persons were inclined to hold a de sponding tour, under the idea that Brighton was overbuilt. and never would again be fillet'. We hope tneir spirits are revived at seeing the lodging bills disappear in almost every part of the town. The spirit and vivacity which characterize our places of entertainment, have suffered no diminu tion during the present week. The Libraries con tinue to exhibit the same display of rank and beau ty, and the promenade Concerts to receive, as they deserve, a distinguished share of public favour. Madame BeNor's concert, on Monday, was at tended. by about eighty fashionables.—The per formances were of the first order. Madame B. was assisted by Madame and Miss Cianchettiiii, and she fine band of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. _ • 11 orating, we hear, is full. The season was never known lu be so late in that town. Bognor ~ever had to boast of so grand a season as the present. In Bitistead's subtcription book ate die following wanes : Miss Filleiarellef.

On Monday evening, the 6th instant, being the 50th year front Garrick's Jubilee, • lecture up• on the peculiar and ultstacteristic merits of Shalt. *peaty was read at the Town Hall, its Strat ford, by John lirittoo, Esq. F.A.S. whose archi tectural taste awl skill are at, well known in this country. Whilst the enthusiasm of MG Brit ton in the cause of Shakwerre, and las exer tions to keep alive the meniory of the " Bard of Avon" in his native town, do honour .o his head, his benevolence in approptiatiog the whose profits of his lecture to a charitable institution in Striae ford. is equally creditable to his herd. The lecture, which is stated to have liven the composition of H. Nee le, Esq. • friend of NIG Brit. ton, is written in a style elegant and perspicuous. Mr. Neele's correct discrimination of what consti tutes the difference betwixt wit and humour in dm moue wraing. is highly creditable to hie taste and judgment. To select from this admirable lecture every separate part which is entitled to praise, would take up too much space ; we shall therefore only observe generally, that Mr. Neele has contrived to give an air of perfect originality to this long-liack- Med subject. Mr. Britton finished hie lecture with the follow ing beautiful and well-chosen passage from au Ode I of Dr. Wslron's (P. rindar) : This whilst I woutl'riug pause o'er Shakspeare's page, I mark, in visions of delight, the sage High o'er the wrecks of matt, who stands sublime, A column in the melancholy waste, (Its cities humbled, and its glories past) 111.9jestic 'midst the solitude of Tillie Hayti Gazettes to the 20th of July have arrives]. The particulars of Sir Hosts POPIIAIes visit to CHRISTOPHE are Minutely detailed its that of the 25th Muy. No Sovereign could hate been received with greater state and ceremony than the arrival of the British Admiral called forth. The intended visit was announced on the 4th of May, by Captain Cox. of the Shearteater, deputed for that purpose, and on the 16th Sir H. Poritast lauded at Cape Henry. He remained there six days. A division of the cultivated lands was proposed to be Made among the soldiers of Cititisrornes army. A Com mittee, consisting of the principal members of the State Council, had been appointed by the King, to consider the measure and to superintend the appro priations. IVe understand, by letters received in the City by the last mail from Valencia, that au jusinetise slum ber of persons (indeed, so many as 140 a►e men tioned) have been put to the torture, its the castles and dungeons of Nlurviedro, with a view to extract from them confessions respecting any popular com motions that might be dreaded its the country. — (Sunday Paper.) Letters from Madrid state, that the mortal re. mains of their late Majesties, King CHARLES IV. and his Queen MARIA LOCISA, have arrived from Gaeta, in a Spanish port in the Med►terranean. The King has given orders that the bodies should he conveyed with the utmost pomp to the Palace of the Escurial. The hope of aid in Ireland, with which The Courier lately flattered the Radical* of this coun try, has completely vanished. The Dublin Papers treat the alarm which it lately discovered in that city as a mere Masion. The iireeutaft's Journal of Wednesday last, adverting to the subject, says '4 We confess that, notwithataniling the repeated proofs which that Print ( The Courier) bra given fur some time past, of his anxiety to catch at tad rang every thing that could he tortured into the ►emblance of dis affection, we trete surprised to find it the dupe of so clumsy a fabrication as this we are noticing. What men desire, however, they cats easily !ielieve, and The cos rive could nut resist so precious a aorceaa as a story of • Sedition in Ireland.' But its gratification is destined to be short lived., fur we, its common with every resin enable Journal its this country, can assure it, that Ireland was never more tranquil than she is at this moment, and that Rebel lion is the last ems of employment her people will think of resorting to. Their distresses are not less revere or less ge arra' than those of their neighbours in England, but they have no expectation of finding relief in disloyalty, nor do they idyl any desire to aggravate their sufferings by offending spinal the law, and bringing down its certain vengeance upon their heads." A variety of idle rumours are circulated in the stock market to account for the decline of prices. The true causes are, perhaps, to be found in the scarcity of money, and in the quantity of stock sold in the latter end of last week. These tales are aid to have been principally made on recount of foreigners, •Ing, taking alarm at the late tumul wary meetings, have transmitted extensive orders for that purpose. It is with concern that we announce the failure of another country batik, viz. that of Dorking. carried on fur the last hew mouths under the firm a JOSEPH PETER' and Co. ; an eveut which has, of course, produced considerable distress (particularly among the lower orders) in that neighbourhood.—(Ports month Puper.)

On fif 1111 l lay last commenced the annual Fair, on St. Giles' Hill, near Whichester. The day proving remarkably fine, much company from the country attended. Cheese experienced a dull sale, iu prices at 60s. to 70s , g(1041 old at 80s., and a few prime samples at loOs. per cwt. There were not so many horses as usual—prime ours sold well. Wilton great Sheep Fair was held on Monday last. There were about 65,000 penned, ■nd owing to the great and ge neral abundance of sheep-food at the present mason, the prices demanded fur all sorts were very high. There was a great briskness cf sale of ewes and lambs at the early part of the day, but slackness prevailed soon afterwards, and continued so until the conclusion of the fair, and many were driven away unsold, particularly of the Merino sort. Prime Southdown ewes fur 46r. a head, and inferior at about 32..; wetbers about 46..; good lambs at 345. a Arad, and inferior at about 225. There were a great many fatted horn cattle and young lean stuck, bat there was little demand fur them. There was also a large number of horses, mostly of the cart kind, and they sold at declining prices. Mr. S.

A society of German dramatic amateurs. formed at Per., thought proper a short time since to per form KOTZEBUE'S burlexque piece entitled Schuh Wonspome. Unfortunately, however, during the representation, some Turks entered the Theatre, and not feeling sati.fied at seeing their laws, reli gion, and usages turned into ridicule by strangers, and in their own capital, they began to lay about them to the discomfiture of both audience and actors. This was a species of practical criticism, for which probably the facetious Germans were nut prepared, and will probably teach them, in future, not to ridicule the laws of a people ender which they way chance at the time to enjoy protection. It is said to be the intention of the Earl of Lows- DALE to dispose of his celebrated hounds and hunt ing establishment at Cottestuore. The Stanybrd Mercury says, several expresses passed that town on Wednesday night from Don- caster; for Loudon, to announce the breaking down of Mr. CROCK FORD'S ,Yakon, the favourite for the Great St. Leger Stakes. The seventh annual meeting of the Surrey Auxi liary Bible Society, was held at Guildford, on Tuesday last, when his Royal Highness the Doke of GLOUCESTER (being Patron of the Society) offi ciated as Chairmair.

Among the gentlemen who delivered their sentiments on the occasion, and proposed and seconded the several resolutions, were, Earl ONsLOW, ill 7. Serjeant ONSLOW, S. THORNTON, Esq. the Rev.

The collection, we understand, was large, cud the company departed highly gra tified. At Wynnstay Agricultural Meeting, on Friday se'imight, several of the principal agriculturiots of the kingdom were present, as well as the practical farmers of the adjacent districts.

A new road is proposed by the gentlemen in Cum berland, which will shorten the distance between London and Edinburgh upwards of thirty miler, by bending the road to Carlisle, at Gretna Bridge, by Alston Moor, New Costition, and Hetrick, and which will also produce a saving of tea miles to Glasgow and Portpetrick.

Captain Mills, who this morning appear. rd in Court with hi. bail, and surrendered, was dieted for Will; a rape upon Hannah White. horn, a gill fifteen rears of age last Christmas, on tier 4yah July, at The Canton', who ii a middle-aged man, was faahionalilv rhelaced in black. . _ . Hannah N'hitehon► said, that, on the 28th July last she went to live as servant to the Prtsoner. Chi the night alter, about twelve o'clock, he came mud pulled her into the parlour and gave her some Noyeau, which made her sick and obliged her to go into the garden. Alter she came in, lie lipids called her auto the parlour, save her the cansr.e, and pushed her up stairs, notwithstundn►g all the resist ance she could make. He prevented her irons Ito ing into her own room, and pulled her into his. She then described the nature of the outrage which she charged the Prisoner with having committed, but frou► her description of it, it appeared she had transmitted uo communication to her mother of the treatment she received until the 13th August. She underwent a long cross-esamination from Mr. BARRY, la the course of which she said she was iii the habit of sitting in the parlour with her master during the time she remained in the house, sometimes until so late as twelve or one o'clock, and in conversation Kith him. Fier statements in reply to Mr. BARRY'S questions were so full of improba bilities as to the manner in which the alleged the outrage to have been committed, that Mr. Baron GRAHAM ►uterpused, and asked the Jury whether they could think of going further into such a cate ? It was however proceeded upon, at the earned desire of the Prisoner's Counsel, and in justice to his character, and at length the replies of the Prosecutrix became glaringly inconsistent, that the Court said it was impossible to give any credit to her evidence, and the Jury instautly re turned as verdict of Plot Guilty. Mr. Baron GRAHAM said, the whole statement of the Prosecutrix appeared to be a foul imputation on the Prisoner's character. _ . _ An extraordinary scene then took place in Court. A gentleman, whose name is Mr. Hector Canipbell, stood on in the witness box, and said he came to do justice to the character of the Prosecutrix. The poor girl had, he said, carried a good character with her to the Prisoner's; she was a virgin when she went into his service, and she came out polluted. Mr. ADOLPHUS complained strongly of this gen. tleman's intrusion alter a verdict was recorded. Mr. Baron GmARAN then asked the gentleman who he was ? He wild he was a witness, and that not a word had been s4id about the pistols that were lying on the Prisoner's table, and other matters.. He was proceeding with great assignation to address the Court relative to the conduct of the Prisoner, against whom he said he was actuated by no per sonal feeling. when Mr. Baron GRAHAM said. what is all this about ? do you mean to speak as a witness? if so you must be sworn. Mr. Campbell—" I am sworn." Mr. ApoLenus- 4 ' But the trial is now over." Mr. Campbell—" I moat request a hearing; the girl has been cruelly treated." Mr. Baron GILIIIIAM-- 41 If yon had had any thing to say, why did you not go before the Magistrate ? I don't see your lime in the depositions. What is it you want to talk about ? When you say the girl suffered the cruel treatment you describe, do you speak of your own knowledge? W Ivo are you, or what are you ? Are you a professional man ?" Mr. Campbell- 4 ' 1 have been in the service of my country ; 1 have studied and 1 understand sur gery and medicine, though I don't practise 1110 a professional inaii."—He was proceeding, in a very warm and empas►ioned strain, to advert to the treat ment which he alleged the girl had received, when Mr. ADOLPHIRI and M►. BARRY again interfered, and protested against the irregularity of this pro ceeding. Mr. Campbell still persevered in his a t. tempt. to address the Court relative to the trial, whets— Mr. Baron GRAHAM called out for the tipstaff, and said, " if you don't ■top your speech and go down out of that. I'll put you in a place where you will be obliged to keep quiet." The officers of the Court immediately removed Mr. Campbell from the witness hos, and he reluc tautly yielded to their efforts ►o expel him from Court ; as he retired near the door, he still kept exclaiming against the result of the triad. THE POOR WOMAN FOR STEALING THE BANE KEYS. Elisabeth Dunham was then put to the bar, and arraigned for stealing two keys belonging to the Bank of England. She seemed about 40 years of age, and was dressed in ■ plain end neat manner ; she wore a coloured cotton dress, covered with a black crape shawl. After the indictment was read in the usual man ner, and on being asked whether she was guilty or not guilty ? She replied with great calmness, , 1 If you ask me whether I am guilty or not guilty, my answer is, I leave that to you to say ; but let me ask you where is the guilt of taking away my own property? Ff that is guilt, theu I ant guilty of taking away the keys." The Clerk of Arraigns_" Are you guilty of steel ing them as you are charred in tile indichrient ?" The Prisoner—" Yes, I hove told you I took them away," Mr. Justice RICHARDSOIC-4 1 But did you steal Breen ?" TINS Prisoner—" I took them as I have told you, because I could not get my own property."

TRIAL OF KERRY RUNT. At half-past elevesi o'clock, limy Steal was put to the bar. He wee getneelly dressed in r new brown coat. slide winstcoai, sod Krey pantaloon.. He looked pale, but his cohiluct and if. in.. r was firm and respectable. 11/Isrii placed .t the bar he bowed to the Court, soil looked oohs ;war. , so stn. prise at the number of lathes alio filled tne gall. tits.

As the indictment was read over to him, hr fix.si las eyes upon the g►ound with ►ather a nielanzindy ex pression of couniewince, but did nut display the slightest want of firmness,. lie occasionally .u•- veyed the Court with an air of more iu:htlere .ca than was, we believe, felt by any indistttual Court who returned his glance. The indictment charged him with wilfully and feloniously 'tabbing 31116*, his wife, in dive►. of her body with a knife, on the sth of August last, in the parish of 5•. Sepulchre. He pleaded Isol No Counsel attended ell the part of the p!,:le. cation. The first witness cal:eil was Maria Stew, ti.e w Ir.

She then took the book in her Instal, skull trembled exceeiloozly while she Iwld it to be swot!, Mr. Justice BEST then aililiessed her At, u the wife of the prisoner at the bar, usury Steut Before the witness could return an answer— Mr. ALLEY, as of Counsel for the Prisoner, rose and said, that he did not think it was to call the unfortunate WUMZU as the first witness ; however, that course was taken, he ruse to ',tannic that her evidence was inadmissible. No wife couat. he apprehended, in such a case as this he an evidence against her husband. The principle was that such a course would dr , troy the harmony of the mar riage state, and that nu wife could be called upon as this woman now was, to give evidence to atl• ct her husband; for that, according to law, would tie to affect herself. He was aware that there ware ex• ceptions to the general rule—for instance, lie knew that in treason such evidence hail been received ; the supreme wifely of the State required u ; but in no case of felony, except that of Lord Audle-y. which happened a century ago, had lie ever heaid of a wilt's evidence against tier husband. There was no case of the kind in the books except Lurd Audley's, and he believed that case was tot considered as having any very great intiuttice. lie perfectly remembered that I.lr. Justice Buller. on the Home Circuit, declined receiving that de scription of evidence which was now about to toe offered; and he was rqdally certain, that tine Learned Judge also adverted lightly to what had been done in Lord Audley's case. Mr. Justice LlEstt—. , Are not you aware that the evidence of the wile. in Lord Audley's ease, was admitted by the House of Lords, the highest Judi. cial tribunal in the land ?" Mr. ALLEY replied be was ; but he still contend. ed, that there was no other case iu the books to justify it, and that Mr. Justice Buller did not think that Lord Audley's case had been well considered. Mr. Baron GaAnA3l—" 1 recollect that 1 ruled the declaration of a wife given in a:lava() wails, to be good evidence against her hushatio. I thattk it was in a case of murder." Mr. ALLEY—" But there, my Lord, the wife was is al-lieu/0 North—she %cis ou the eve of fur ever sepatatitig from the. tot:jogai wive— she could tiever rejoin her husband, rod therefore what she said could never affect herself standing in the situation if a wife, which was what the pno elide of the law provided for. Here the case war different—Mrs. Steat way resume her situation, and in such a state, he never knew that toe evi dence of the wife had been admitted in a case of felony. Mr. ADOLPHUS followed at the saute side, and with similar arguments. Mr. Justice BE4 said, that it was the identity of interest which subsisted betwreis the trialions mail and wife, that as a general principle rendered the evidence of the latter inadmissible as agsiost the former. The one Could out &rimy %lie iii terest of the other, for both their iuterrata were con sidered to be mutually embarked. But the rule of law could slot iu this nor in any other case he carried further than was warranted by c sense. It was like all general rules, °pc!' to the deviation of some exceptions, for instance, where a violent and immediate injury (just like in the present case) had taken place, sad obese the wife WISP alone present Pt it, or in such a situation as to be the best evidence of the facts that hail occurred. Here the ends of public justice require.' ihe ad. missibility of her evidence, or Low could the inquiry be adequately prosecuted ? He was clearly of opinion that. u n der such circuiLotaloces, the evidence of the wife was itilinisssible. It was so held in Lord Aridity's care. and ht titter wit:l this moment had heard that case called in qui filUlle It Was a case in which the high tribunal of the I Irii-e of Lords had admitted the evidence—they milted it with the aid and presence of the to &ire Judges, and against so high a sanction of the rib., ciple, he could not be much intlueliced by the opt. won. however respectable, of an nolivaluol Judge. Mr. Baron GRAHAM ealirely Coneiniell iu Inc opinion of his brother Judge, arid said, he never until now had heard the principle of evidence tit Lord Audley's case disputed. The admissibility of the wife's evidence was actually necessary to pro mote the real legal ends of inquiry invertatu situa. lions, and to protect wives from injuries and trio hence. Though they were not generally admitoilde evidence against a husband, yet tbere were Cases iii which they may be the only and the best. Mr. Justice RICH•RD8011 fully concurred iii opinion with his bietliten, and said, the aittuissibia lity of • wile's evidence s in certant ems.. had beets ruled so fur back as time time of /wises I. The Objection was overruf. 4 l. Mr. Justice Best then addressed Mrs. Stent, and begged her attention to his questions.
