CONDUCT OF SHERIFF PARKINS. Mr. S Dixon blamed up the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the validity of the charges made against Mr. Sheriff Par kins by the late Lord Mayor. The epittioas of the Law Officers were, that the sole power of re- Mos ing the Sheriff existed in the Court of Common Council, who could accomplish it by vote. It was, however e all the same time the impression, that considering the increase of import ant duties which had take■ place in the Shrilling since that law was passed, the Court should not be recommended to adopt that extreme coulee except is eases agent emergency. The Committee were of opinion, that the charges brought against Sheriff Pirkitss by the late Lord Mayor were esta blished, and that as to the question of precedency between the two S►erilTs, the Seniority was vested iu the event of an Alderman being appointed to the office, in that Alderman. The Report concluded with stating, that Sheriff Parkins had Nut acted wit► the dignity becoming Isis situation, and recommending the Court to suspend all allow/metes to him in consequence of his neglect of the respect due to his high office, and to require a proper discharge of thorough duties inure. The several rommunieatio•s made by Sheri, Porkies to the public through the isediuss of the press, on this sub. jeer, were then read. Mr. Dixon said, the Chief Magistrate was *flowed the yoga goo. or 10,0001. for the soppurt of the dignity of the Chair; and it would sorely be • great disgrace to the City, 10 Are persons of this kind endeavouring to make a trade of so honourable a station.—(Hear, heat.)—He thee moved, that the Court should agree slab the Committee io the Re. port. - Mr. GRir►lrUs seconded the nation. Mr. Put.i.rrstated, that be as UsilerAherifr to Mr. Psalms, c‘redd bear lestimusty to that Gentleman's coastal,* and ■axious attention to the deities of his Haire. The worthy Shelia' had declared to him frequently, that he never woukl, directly or indirectly, receive tine sixpence of the fees of oilier, or any other advautage attached to the situ ation. Mr. JAMES thonght it necessary to take the most prompt course in the ease of a man by whom the office of Sheriff wet; as had been said before, most Irefully degraded. His coed municetions upon the subject of the now-perfuensairee of his duties wire mere :sophistry and inept rlineece. Mr. N. Wtat.tosts said, the cueduct of Sheriff Parkins should be the more anxiously werutioisecl, as the Lord Mayer and the other Sheriff were subjected to great expenses in consequence of the refusal of that Gentleman to cu-tape. rate in suppurtilig the dignity of the City. Mr. Perkins had acted towards the Judges at the Old Bailey. as if he thuught it necessary that their heads should he kept cool. Per. haps it arose from a feeling of justice towards the pistons-re, Prone whatever feeling it arose, the Worthy Gentians° cer tainly had nut afforded so much as would supply their Lord ships with bread and water. From all this it would appear, that Mr. Parkins came hue office upon mere speetdation, and it was to be hoped that not one Gritting would he per mitted to enter that Worthy Sheriff's heeds, instil he con. touted to remunerate those who had ■l►eady been put to such expense WI his account.—(Neer. Sear) Mr. TovLon. was of opinion that Mr. Parkins was merely chargeable with some siagularilies of conduct, which were nut very agreeable. Mr. Taylor moved an amendment, that the Report should lie on the table. Sir. Poicriega thought the conduct of Mr. Parkins a direct insult to the Court. He hoped this general reproach i would operate as a warning to all Sheriff-hunters to look for ' noire iu future who were not respectable and creditable cha. racier,. Ile trusted the Court would send the Report back to She Committer, in order that it might come forth in Weimer terms. Mr. Huston'', said he was foe the adoption of the amendment. Mr. Pathos had evideutly acted %mu the feeling, that he was unjustly deprived of his seniority, which seniority was established by a period of six weeks, and under peculiar circumstances, for the other Sheriff hail eudes- Vollfrd to earner himself, while Mr. Parkins at once ac cepted the offire. Mr. PEACOCK conceived the imputation as to Sheriff healers applied to him. The reason he had repined Mr. Parkins to be Sheriff was, that he was a man of property and respectability. If he had foreseen the extravagaucies that since exhibited themselves, he should oat have proposed that Gentleman. Mr. Alderman RovnivaLt. said, It was painful to him to speak upon the subject. He felt it, however, a duly to him. self to say, that no ci►eamstersee under heaven could have iedeced him to accept the office of Sheriff, if he bad nut been Restored that there was an Act upon which he could be proved entitled to the precedesey. He had dome all he could to support the dignity of the office; ►e should continue to du so, but he should *ever open his lips upon the subject of his Colleague's conduct. Mr. N. Wltaisists then sawed, that its estesideration of the importance of the subject, the Court should ailjusorm. This question was pat and carried, and the Court diately adjourned. Sadler's %Vella Theatre continues to attract. not. withstanding the frequent adverse weather during lie past fortnight. The performances are greatly diversiiird, and go off with increased spirit. A g the fash►onablea present hart evening we remarked Lord HARRINGTON, Lord PETSUHAII, &c. &c. A reduction of 4/. isrr ton on iron has taken pl4ce in Staffordshire within the last few days, in consequence of an *lancing diminution of demand for that important and flourishing manufacture.

It censured, in rums* language, the conduct of the Court, and of the Lair Officers of the Crown in the proceedings nil trial. conveyed very violent imputations on the character of Adams, Edwards, and another wit ileas, and indirectly pored the object of the conspirators to that of Bririna mid Curies. whoa: history had "cited up to the stars." The Cuter JUSTICE here observed, that the Court could not suffer persons, even in their situss tiori, to justify assassinatimi. The Prisoner resumed, and was interripted by the Bench a second lime s but he said he should be done in four lines, and continued. In the conclu. elms of the paper, he protested against the Court's refu-ing to examin,? witnesses oil his behalf at e certain period of the trial, and contended that judg mesa ought not to be ; 000000 ounced against hint. !Valiant Davison was theii called, and addrerked by the officer in the same form of words. This Piiiioner had no written speech, but addressed the Court with great earnestly's of voice and manner, occasional violence of gesture aud action. for several Minutes. The generel character of his declamation was ;mug similar to that of Thistle wood's. Ile asserted that no proof had been offered that he hid been acquainted with the design of assaaoinating the Ninsisters—repeated the charges against some of the witnesses, and declared he hail been entrapped into the plot. He could die but once. and should meet death fearlessly. The • thought of leaving a large family of small chil ' &en was the wily thing which unmanned him. • This Prisoner manifested the utmost degree of firmness, or rather reckless intrepidity. begs was the next person placed at the bar. He appeared greatly inferior its 'lien and language to the two former Prisoners. His address was extent. porary and brief. He imputed to his associating with Edwards, and the insidious arts of that wino, that lie stood in the situation in 'flitch be was ; but acknowledged that the horrid design at assassinating the Ministry was oue disgracleful to Englishmen. Brunt complained of having been denied the use of pen, ink, and paper, in order td co.pwe wines thing in his justification: He decl t Adams had deceived and entrapped him, and wished to do so before; slid was proceeding in loading him with abusive epithets and heinous charges, when The Cuter JUSTICE pronounced that he could not suffer the character of a person 'testified as a witness to be taken sway in that manner without any object; if there was any impeuchinent of his cha racter, it should have been mentioned on the trial. The Prisoner afterwards threw out aspersions on Lord Castlereagh and Lord Sidmouth. and asked if conspiracy to take away the lives of such men could be high treason. He asserted, that on a question having been put by one of his Jury to the Judge who tried him, the Judge had misstated the law. He then endeavoured to justify the design of the conspirators; but initialed that the only high treason of which he had beets guilty was resisting some police officers. Tad asserted that none of the witnesses had sworn the truth except Captain Fimclareuce (who was sitting in the Sheriff's box). Wilson said he was not gifted with the tongue, and that he had been draws, in by other.. Harrison said that all the witnesses were false. Bradbarn exclaimed against the testimony given by Adams. Strange avowed. that as he stood before God and his country Brunt's apprentice and Adams were perjured villains. Gilchrist (a wretched-looking mail). who seemed to sink under the horrors of his situation, de. dared that he had met Adams, for the first time, ■t four o'clock of the day when the conspirators were apprehended—that on going ioto the loft he was wholly ignorant of the purpose for which they had assembled—that he wished 'o retire, but wens prevented on pain of his life, and that on the first appearance of an officer he surrendered himself. " 1 have served my King •ud my country." creed the Prisoner, " twelve years, and, Oh, God 1 this is my reconspence." Cooper said there was no evidence to convict him of high treason, but that he yielded himself up • voluntary exile. The LORD CHM „lumen then proceeded to address, by their mimes, first the five Pawners who hail been tried, meting, that they had been seve rally treed and convicted on •m indictment which charged them, with others, of conspiring to levy war against less Majesty. to compel him to change leis measures by force ; and afterwards John Harri son, Richard Brad burn, John Shaw Strew, Jews Gilchrist. and Charles Cooper, observing. that each of them having been charged in the same meat with the same offence of which the firmer Pressmen' hail been convicted, had origissally plead. ed hot Guilty; but after the trial seed conviction of the five first. they had desired to withdraw their plea, and at their request had been permitted su to du. James Wilson had originally pleaded a nip take in his tame; but that was a plea which could out be lung available, fur 'outlier isidictmest was preferred against him, to which be had pleaded hot Gaiity; but had •fterwatde, like the when, on terve uotained, retracted it, slid pleaded Guilty. These Us meow, therefore, had ebsugM value. tarily to acknowledge their gitilt, and throw thefts helve. on the mercy of their ineereigii. If 'any Of them s h ould ultimately have their lives spared, Which he trusted would be the cow, he hoped they Would always beer in mind that they owed that life to the benignity and merciful dispoviiimi of their Sovereign, ailed and seconded also by the merciful dispositions of those very persons upon whom they had contemplated the foul crime of astinoinetion.— Oise of them. Arthur Thistlewood, hail ups.' hie trial proposed to call certain sutures**, whom the Court hod refused to hear. This was according to the due course of justice. as it was administered in this country. The witnesses whom he proposed to Cell.: were for the purpusie of impair g the testi snowy of • man of the swine of Dwyer, and no other. His Learned Comorel had previously called oitsiewes to the seine effect. It could not be al lowed to hint; according to the ordinary course of proceeding. to d. more. Indeed, even if be had hero allowed lo to do, it could have been produc iive of no arrvaistage. because his case did eat de. prod upon the evidence of that witness slow. This observation was confirmed by th. foci. that ifs alb. iieire so emcee where the evidence of Dwyer was silo together omitthd. a (limiter verdict of guilty was rya turned. Sortie of them had thought fit to soy much of the 'character of a person who had ant sp. peered as a witness upon this occasion. The Coact could proceed only upon the evidence which was brought before it; of the person, therefore to whom they alluded, or of the poictices of which be had been guilty, they could hare no knowledge. Coors the testimony, however. which hail beets adduced against them. there was abundantly sufficient .tu induce • Jury of their country to come to a conclusion. that the whole or them had taken an active part in the crimes imputed its the indictment. From all that had appeared in the course of these trials. as well as from much of that which they had then heard, it was plain to see that they did not embark is. their wicked designs until they hail Bet suffered their minds to be corrupted and iullaissed by those sediti 000 solid irreligious publicatiours with which, unhappily for this country. the press had but too long teemed. He did not make these re marks to aggravate their guilt, or to atheism tht sufferings of persons in their ; he made them as a warning to all who might hear of their unfortunate fate. that they might benefit by their example, and avoid those dangerous instrument* of sedition, by which their hearts and minds were itifianied, and by which they were drawn (runt erell feeling of morality. from every sense of obligation towards their Creator, and of justice towards society. The treason of which they were charged and found guilty Was that of compassing and imagining to levy war against his Majesty. fur the purpose of inducing him to change his isseasured and Minutiae, ; the first step towards effecting which was to have been the assassination of Ministers. They had endeavoured now to complain of the testi. mouy of these persona who had been examined as witnesses on the part of the prosecution. Some of. them were accomplices in their guilt. It had here happened, as it had upon other occasions, that the principal instruments in the hands of justice were partners of their wickedness; lie trusted that cir cumstance would hove its due weight and con• sideration with all thaw who became acquainted with their situation, end with the circulastauces of their trial. He hoped, that Ihr the sake of-their own personal safety. if they could not be restrained by any other cosseideration, that they woold ab stain from evil cousessmicatioas and from evil coo nexious, such as had brought them to the unhappy position in which they stood. Some of them had avowed their intention to have taken away the and to have steeped their hassds in the blood of 14 person.. to many of them unknown—a crime, of • character so block. that it was hitherto without parallel in the history of this country, and he hoped it would remain unparalleled hereafter.—(His Lordship here seemed considerably agitated).—lt now, he said. only remained for him to pass upon them the awful sentence of the law ; but before he dud so, he exhorted them, he implored them, to employ the shoe yet left to them in this , life. in en• deavouring, by prayer, to obtain mercy from that Almighty Power before whom they would shortly appear. The mercy of heaven might be obtained by all chow who would utifeignedly, and with hu mility, express contrition for their offences, and seek that mercy through the merits of their Blessed Redeemer. His Lordship hewing once more solemnly exhort. ed the Prisoners to repentance, pronounced the sentence of the law in the following words : " That you, and each of you, be taken from hence to the gaol from whence you came, and from thence that you be drawn upon a hurdle to a place of execution, and be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, soil that afterwards your heads shall be severed from your bodies, and your bodies be divided into four quarters, to be disposed of as his Majesty rhea think fit ; and may God of his infinite goodness hare mercy upon your souls !" The Crier said aloud, u Amen 1" in which he was joined by many in the Court, who were deeply affected by his Lordship's impressive address. The Prisoners were then withdrawn from the bar. During the address of the Judge they did not seem to be much affected by their awful situation. WEI, before being removed, complained that his legs, which were very tender, were pained by the pressure or the irons. The LORD CHIEF JODI'ICS said, that if he ap. plied in the proper chrome,. he had no doubt that the inconvenience be complained or would be re• moved or lessened. CONTEMPT OF THR ORDER OF THE COURT.
