P. } a.~ • TO THE EDITOR OP THE BRITISH PRESS. 274, Strand, December 9, 1820. tivat-11 beg you will be pleased to contradict a report Ilk hie?. appeared in your Paper of December 2, respecting • charge made at Row.street against use by Mr. Hugh Camp bell, of Arondel-street. Any person on readiug the report contained in your Paper wn,i!4 be induced to believe that the bread was adulterated. lA. fin is, that Sir Robert Baker postponed the decision at the Cade 10 • future day, and since the parties first cams bi fore him the loaf pimehased by Mr. Campbell was ana. lyted by Mr. Amuse, the celebrated chemist, who sent a very polite letter to Sir Robert Baker, informing him, that he had analysed the loaf, but could not discover the least ingredient therein whatever. The second exami mina of the tass took place on Tuesday last, when the Magistrate OR reading this letter dismissed the complaint, n.i.l Mr. Campbell paid costs of warrant, &e. Sir ' your very obeiliini Servant, W. WILI.SHER. THE lUNDS. 4 revulsion, which N set the 'solstitial sequel to a very cosine of speculation, has taken place at the stuck Exchange, and has been sue of t►e chief causes of an adesoce in the priers, which have materially improved since our last. The speculators for a fall, seized with a panic at the late total failure of their operation*, seem to have ehmiged sides, ■m) nearly all to have become tturelmiers. •Tin, step, too, they have indiscreetly taken it moment when the opposite party hive rimmed increased confidence, firising ow of some peculiar iodications, deemed by them liessitrahle to their views. The recent purchases of money ati.ck by riot of the deeding bankers has isertainly imparted is. w vigour to the market, especially since it is acertained ISA the investment is net likely to be, as was originally he 'erred, of a temporary attire, or for the rummest of &peen ion. Many reports have been circulated IV explain them, of which the best authenticated appear to be, that the money no isiveated is the produce of psize.monry aid daring the I.sie war in like East forties, mid thus disposed of until the silimiale division, in the way of which stone difficulties are ini.h.rstuod to ►xist, es, be made. We are unable to voneh for its correctness. The Nilotic., placed i.y the speculators for x rise, on the assiatauce Oars unexpectedly tendered them, we consider to be greater than it deserves, since the roomiest of the stuck invest' d is small, when compared with the mass it is supposed to peons' the power of moving, and is not scc,mded by the iischuatiou, or, perhaps, the power to make purchases ansong the public at largo. 'the other sources on which the speculators for a rise rely lisire still less wield, and they show the weakness rather t hso the strength of their cause, when they refer to the de cimation of the Minister, that nu Loan will he required fur the • ervice of the year. TIN &tiara t i 0000 has hero frequeisily made before, hut seldom kept, and is of such a nature, in itee.l, that contingencies, far from improbable, may resider it. fulfilment impossible. The era of finaiseial operutious, may add, is too remote to act upon the transactions of exiationg period, which are seldom governed by distant cnn.idrratiuns. The thirst and last hope of improvement •s ire, from the assurance, given nn good authority, that the a esssurees of Government are so ample, that they are euribled to devote nearly all that has is►en paid of the instalments to Co. last Loan to the liquidation of their debt to the lisuk. This fact if., however, in itself ; no proof of extrus.ive re sources, but simply that the money has been applied to the impose for which it was orieinally raised. Then• considerations induce us to refer the rise which has t-kesi place in the past week to a species of &holism, less in degree, but similar in kind, to that objets occurred during Or October account. Wheu purchasers are numerous the seasket rises ; but as they are, in this instance, nearly all time bargains, which most be re.suld hefote the uprising, re-actiou is iiievitahle, though its extent will be pro. )W411014111 to the snddrunrawith, ',bids the discovery is made, I i,ll a retreat i. necessary. The transactions of the market of I•rulayaud yesterday strongly corroborate the view we have taken of the present state of the Fundy, and almost lead to the rotsclociou, that the most active among the speculators for a rise Lave already begot' to seism' a retreat. Withio that time s;.: price Consols fur the opening has hero &chain( ao ra irony, that from 71 1 „ *loch Stilt& as the highest imitation, salt sloe k has subsided to 7flt-, the clusiog price of the week. 1 . —ollndsly Paper.) r COLONEL MONTGOMERY.

A SERMON, INTEXDSD TO (MATS BUN PRZACIMS BETOILE fill WAJASTY 7111 quism, AT ST. roues cArracvaiir.. By H.BATHURST, D.D. AirbJeacuo of Norwich. TO TIM LORD MINOT OF Lixturr. &c. London, Thursday, November 30. MT LORD-It haring appeared in the newspapers that 1 came to London expressly to preach taw sri soon at St. Paul's yesterday, I think it right to arqiisilit you and the public why and with what intentions I came. I certainly did come to town with a view to preach a ser mon on the 29th Institut, ■nd I came at the Queries wish, communicated to sue privately, but by authority; whet' I found that, as late as Saturday, as order had been issued from your Lordship, as Dean of St. Paul's, that no sernsou should be readied. 1 did sot know this till Monday, when I suited to London; and listing no time to receive as so. seer, and conceiving that as explanation with Dr. Hughes would be umbras, soles, I could cunduitaicete • ith you, I thought any further steps from me might be, at the maniere, oaly initsttug and unwise. But I thir' it righo, iu my own justilication, to say, that wlierem, in nay capacity of a parish-priest, I have, without any scruple, preached, or had • friend ID preach fur toe, upon the futairrai of • respectable parishittuer, and al the yearly meeting of a bent fit club, sin St. John the Baptist's day, I could not think that any objection would striae to adding a straws' to the service on the day upon which her Majesty weal to St. Paul's, upon the kiss of a Bill which, had it passed, would have hero, I fear, the loss of the coun try, and certainly the latter end of a goverunseot of fixed and knows law. That say iateation, however, notwithstanding this convic tion, In wailitrisking the task cat preaching the sermon, was to heal, and sot lo intuits., I trust the coippositions, though necessarily hasty, which I publish, will initlieiently indicate. I never will make the ('hutch the vehicle of insult, though I newer will shrink there from a manly and temperate expo adios of my free opinion.; and surely soy thing like feeling of personal ammosity cannot be suspected in me towards • Miuistry which Numbers anniug its prominent members one to whom I um both nearly related by blood, and con nected by the ties of platitude and fricadship.

It is a practice sanctioned by the highest religious ■utho. ►hies, and peculiarly consonant to the liturgy of the Church eat obi:died is this country, to retort', in the presence of the et/ogre-K.oi )))) of our fellow-Christman, piddle tlutuks for, and arkuowledameota of, any signal deliverance from dais. ger, pain, or calamity; and it would appear natural, ac cording to the magnitude of that deliverance, and the im portance of the person and cietionataners connected there with, to mark the same with a proportiouste degree of re. gard and honour. Must unquestionably " the heart knoweth its own bitter ness, and a stranger (huh not internirddle with its joy :" but, in r °oxides ing the seco n dary means employed by lie.. veo for the purposes of grace and mercy, we are naturally led to show, iu the manner of our gratitude., some recollec tion of the human instruments thereof, amid iu the actions of the creature to remember the Creator. And if it were these considerations alone which have led to the assembly ■t this days wordop, a moderately attentive survey of circumstances might seem not only to justify, but to demand, the present solemnity A few of these circumstanced it is my intention here to touch, as tenderly as I can, consistently with what is due to the subject: but I will end to avoid every expression which can any where he offensive, and every feeling which am irritate ; while from the religious propriety itself of maintaining., in its purest action, that form and principle of government under which we were born, I shall hint at what appear to ha the peculiar connexious of individual with public interest and safety in the occasion which assem bles us. The general law of moral and social order, whereby men are bound to bear patiently even the ills they have, rather than Hy to others which they know not of, and the expe diency as well as duty awaiting the course of events, tooter the direction of Hata who causes all things to work together for good with them that fear bon—this general law wean to be clearly derived from natural and from revealed religion; but the peculiar form of government under which inert live, is, or ought to be, traced to no original compact, either ex pre►aed or implied, with that society Or which our bl is east, and in conformity with the progress of intelleet, and mural and social improvement, resoltiug from ex perience and natural combinations of event.. And herein lies the right merit peculiar to the British Cost stitntion : not that it may not he in some parts practi cally inconsivent wills its proh ssed ends; not that it is free from infirmity anal imperfection inseparable from all human things, sod especially where sufficient disposition toward re pair has nut been constantly evinced ; but that, if suffered to operate without undue restriction, and even with coo Wearier at some excesses, it establialies a enertetive for any inistakeu principle or diseased action iu the conduct of power, which ought ever be directed with a regard to the general good, and Die sound and holiest feelings of mankind. And this cur reetive consists in the legitimate influence of public opinion, righting the teasel of state, as it were, is the very moment of imminent dang‘ r , and, under the favouring aid of Divine Pros trireme, ptomains bulb passeugers and vessel from vac !amity. And thankful iudeed, not only ought the high individual to be, bet all who hear me, and all too who cannot bear me, if, under the agency of Providence, this influence of public 1.1141i4111 i► enusidered out only to hare afforded a pause for further consideration, but to bare saved that exalted prom from ruin ounierthil iu the opinion of so many millicios; and with her safety also to have preserved the original Coln. pact of a free government from ■t least an apparent viola. tiara, and svelte(' a precedent which certainly, if drawn into rule, might Imve changed* government of hithertoknowu law auto a complex despotism, wherein the Suvereigu himself would have torn old) one amidst a host of masters; iu name indeed paramount, but av ictim ever after to the intrigues of bodies of men.o puss whom sliame,as ill an i idu. I despot, could out operate; Mail who would necessarily have hero led to make perpetual sacrifices of pullie interest+ to the collision of t►e passions and interests of each other. A mul titude without rule and order, although in itself more drier lists, yet may he ruled by awe, generally, of one sound and sage adviser; but fictions alternately secesilant, consuli (lmmo all the power of human government, both legoilatiee, judicial, and executive, in themselves, and which, where they could su COSlSOlitialt power, must be frill of uncoutrollable Circe and unlimited violence, would be the greatest calamity iu which a free government could ever fermi wale. . H. out of acknowledged respect fur public opinion, we have bre% preserved from such a smolt, this is ample cause for tatting on the public to unite au thankfiskoess *owned, Hes. ee • for iii.CA who guides the hearts of the people, as well as the conduct of rulers, though scone, hues for his own graci ous purposes in app iretaly dale:scut directions, not to make the people think themselves superior to the goverianeut, but to link the government, in the issue of extraordinary masters, Maar and then, more closely with the Mt . ..

Co smorama itself teams to bend discreetly to the probity mid the feelings of • alrilfaila community; and it is Prelb,lhat whatever lets or hisdrasees may fur • moment lower like clouds, and cross the moorhineof our path; though mnuarchs, like ourselves, may be deceived; yet "that the people are no evil- Mars" (hi use the language of the book of Esther), but they be the children of the must high and must mighty k ~. liv;ng God, silo bath Ordered lite kingdotn both unto us and our progenitors is the most excellent manner." Heaven grant the same may be the ultimate result—however for a "aeon deferred—of the matters now agitating this lanA ; that the spirit of order be softened by conviction into mild ness; and that soother Esther may alike be comforted ! Think not that in this allusion I would break in upon the sanctuary, and especially in this sacred place, of that which, if order is to be maintained, and respect to established authority be preserved, must remain inviolable. Nu ! if we deem the institutions of our culinary to have hems shaken, it iv another and most just reason for thankfulness Ibis day that the moment es guns by when the veil wa■ neeirrearily torn from that which, by the agreement of mankind, has been su long held sacred. We, my boribreir„ in general, protested against this rude violence from the Aral ; and, in common with our comitrymen, im plored a pause, before it was suffered to expoie all that is dear to imagination and sacred in reason's eye to that rude assault which we saw must be the conseei 0, my brethren! let us not lay bare the carcass of human greatness ; let us wrap it up is reverence, even as Poly:ten' is said to have gathered sip her nays in &sib, when sacrific ed to the phantumi of Achilles! bay what ere will, and think what we will, in • monocle' of spleen, the decent and tem perate splendour of monarchy takes from the rough edge of republican virtue, palieki s integrity, and gives a stability and fitness to human things, which, on an extensive scale of society, cannot from any utter funn of guirernnwet be deriv ed. It is mild in its true stature ; it is liberal in its princi ples, when no stoppage of its ear to the voice of the column oily is contrived ; it is suitable to our relations above, when adaniesistered in purity; anti though liable to imperfections, is •Ihed to the nobler and more amiable feelings of mor tality. And shall net we thank He 4111.11, 1111 t, by thin re cent deliverante, this image of an honor-eta and virtuous idolatry, thong', rudely assaslieel, Ines nut been wholly dr. faced ? A feeling of respect is esseatial la the existence of unman by. Monarchy, under ,time decent euntrol of popular rights, is far too estimable, in the good which it produces, to be bartered fur an uncertainty; and fur the preservation of its dignity by the mild influence of public opinion we ought to be grateful, as for the preservation of ■ parent from a state of dangerous indisposition : and do von think, If that parent had wept, as he once did weep, at the decease of Site must amiable of statesmen, though by power little reentered; an 11.flitliie indeed in wl there was no guile; the friend too of these, who in a trying hoar have trodden in his poise, and proved the wimod friends of monarchy, of jostice, and their country—a parent, who I knew tom even refused to rat his bread, at leant fur a short lessens, hum excessive, though manly, affliction;—du you think, that when a known courtesy and urbanity of manners, which can only spring Guru a soul poss►ssed of inward principles of gr.at benevolence, distinguishes that parent, whatever storms avd tempests may interpose, whatever tides of opinion end circumstances may have ebbed and floweel—du you 'husk it tint fit to rejoice that this parent is restored Si. that %tali 111 l and dignity wherein he can slime fully Viterfile the fame tiobs which are the pairposes of his political existence ! Many either topics mizlit he touched upon, which, though introduced gem-rally, yet might revive painful mut ; shall, therefore, leave them. lint it is not met ely the tender of grateful feelings to the Almighty by which I conceive, and by which every well thotkiug •nd candid mind must he convinred, that this day is intended to be made rnetwirable. Even in the expression of thanks I would allow there might be bleudeil a spirit of triumph inconsiatent with that tweeknesa and ream/amble. nes% and deep humility, with which luau ought to approach the throne of grace. No! not fur that worldly majesty it. self, which is intapable of such a wish, would I utter any thing, and especially here, which could degrade the authority I am bound to support, by every means cunsisteitt wills the principles upon which it is founded; and which, like our. selves, has a right, in all our reflecting moments lickuow ledged, to a construction the moat charitable we can put ni the exercise thereof: No! hut I wilt declare, in this marred place, that, in the atiewlatice here of that which I be lieve to be • brunch of maj. sty insulted and iojured by re cent workings of mischief, I du not use any wish to prolong those feeling% which, iu their duration, can only had to the breach of public peace and private charity. I see, in the presence of that high perwmage here, not only a justifiable and reasonably to be expected gratitude, evinced lu a generous notion for • discreet (itemise of their lawful and constitutional influence in her behalf; hut I see a die. position, the most earnest, to conciliate those who have lis tened to her deadliest maligners : and this, which I will now speak fur her, is the language I seem to bear from that per sonage to the assembly of this day:— "" 1 have afforded proof %efficient to convince of my wrongs tile reasons of a vast portion of those who were most impartially disposed to hear evil as well as good of and.

" Ask your awe hearts, is there any thing in rank or power so fascinating, and at the evening of ■ trowbloa• and a stormy life, that I should go to my grave, where 1 hope Si. find repose, and to be joined again by the saint in heaven which so untimely left me, with theidragscbain rif deliberate perjury: Is any thing ita the applause of a muliituldr which can recompeuse me fur the loss of the applause of angels in heaven? Am I such a fool as to set time against immeastsi-able circuity, and at the moment too when the human life wanes? I not believe teem it, Christ as the rock of any salvation, yet is there not a something after death, a something adowa that stream which caritas us all towards eternity, enough to appal the imagination, and ar. rest the boldness of one who would defy Malikellly Ilse terrors of the ignitible world ? " Du you think that I would wake a nation a mockery for taught which on this aide of the grave is left me ?

On the morning of the 9th of Jae leak, rhordy before one o'clock, while he was 00 his beet in Spassish-place, Alaischester-square, by the skis of the Marquis of Hertford's house, he saw a mots of about two or three hundred persons, who were coming along in a very riotous manlier. He spoke to some of them, and told them to be peaceable, when they said to bin, " if he would let them alone they would let Into alone." Ile immediately thought it prudent to retire, and withdrew from them. They then went into the east gate of the court-yard in boost of the Marquis of Hertford's house, and with loud shouts commenced a buttering upon the windows with brick bats and atones which they brought with them.

The Act of Parliament under which tl►is action hail been brought, was a most wholesome our, and waft introduced for the purpose of checking inalicioua attacks of this description. by stewing to the parties intliteoced to commit such outrage*, that in '►mint of fact they were doing no real mischief to the party against whom their violence was directed. The J.ary fisund • verdict for the Plaintiff—Da mages, 1.20/. 19•.511.—Cubis 40s. SLANDER. MARTINERE •. MACKAY •ND WIFE. Mr. ADOLPHUS stated. that this action was brought by the Plaintiff. u young autumn. 25 years of age, against the Defendant., General Mackay and Iris Lady, to recover • compensation id damages for injurious words spoken by Mrs. Mackay, for which the Geneva' wall answerable. The experience the Jury must have had in Courts of Justice, had sits doubt taught them that actions fur shinier varied more or lea*, according to the effact and tendency of the words spoken. There was one class of words, which went to destroy the estimation of character, and prevented per. sous obtaiuiag confidence and employment. In surd) cases lie had never found a Jury back ward iu redressing injuries by giving damages. The rase he had to lay before them was of the latter class. It was one in which the cha racter of • poor but hottest young woman haul been destroyed by the rich and powerful. The Plaintiff was sereatit to the person who uttered the slander, and it was almost weessary to tell the Jury that • young woman so treated by her master and mistress would almost find it impossible to got her bread in the world. The Plaintiff had been in the sister kingdom in the service of a Baronet. She there married the butler, but, um. happily, discovered soon after that her husband was married to another woman. She came to England with her mother. and lied a child. She then went to the service of Mrs. Mackay, and remained there until the 19th of June, when she considered it ad visable to give a month's notice to quit. At that time there had been some talk in the family about property stolen, but nothing was said to the Plain tiff; she wile told her wages would net then be paid ; she insist call again. On the Sunday fol. lotting, when she went to get her wages and her trunk, the was told she was accsesed as a thirf. The family lied been rubbed at divers timer., and she was the thief. Whets her truck was delivered up Mrs. Mackay examined it, and said. " I have 110 doubt you have stolen a vast deal of property, and here is a handkerchief I can almost swear lie lunge to to lady who visits me." She del/titled the handkerchief. but sonic time after it wee delivered up to the Attorney is. the cause, there being no pretence for withholding it. The Plaintiff was hired as servant by another lady, Mrs. Levis. who having occurion to make some communication to her, went a sit to Mrs. Mackay to inquire where she was to he found.
