• .., • • •. fzetthat'llere, it-Awe guilt he toncoiveS as c.fa, a till duper d . )4 than Lis own, should have escaped the vengetinCe of the law; but by the exertions of 13 spiritual monitors, who have been indefatigable in their efforts to impress him with a strong sense of the dreadful enormity of his own guilt, as well as to bring him to a right frame and temper of mind, he no longer gives expression to such feelings, and tiOw only breathes a wish to die at peace with all man kind. As often as the subject of the late trial is mentioned, however, he never fails to assert that Hare perjured himself in the account he gave of the murder of the woman; repeating the statement we have already given, that, so far from setting by, a cool and unconcerned spectator of the crime, Hare actively assisted in the commission of it, and was upon the body of the woman co-operating with him self in his efforts to strangle her. We may mention as a singular instance of the ob liquity of the human understanding, or at least of the effect produced upon some by the Dean of Fa ettlty's powerful speech for Burke, that two of the Jury by whom he was tried were of opinion that the prosecutor had not made out his case against that un happy man, and consequently were for returning a verdict of Not Proven in his case as well as that of M'Dougal. No one who attended to the evidence, as it %yes led, or who has examined it since, has been able to discover upon what grounds ouch a verdict was returned even in the case of the female pannel ; but, had the opinion of these two gentlemen pre vailed, aid the eharges against Burke been found not proven, Justice might have thrown away her ba lance, and broken her sword, and the prosecutor might well have despaired of ever again obtaining a verdict upon a charge of murder. Happily nothing so utterly monstrous as this occurred. Justice has received one victim, but she will not be satisfied with this solitary sacrifice. Others yet remain to be claimed, whose hands are dyed in blood, and whose criminality is not either in law or in morality, inferior to that of the unhappy man whose days are num bered, and who is doomed to expiate his manifold crimes on the scaffold. Hare was engaged in this horrid traffic before he formed an alliance with Burke; and although the tsnperior appearance, address, and physical strength of the latter led him to act as the decoy, and to take a conspicuous share in the perpetration of the rour• data, Hare we are satisfied was his master and his tempter, ns he is known to have been his con stant associate in all the teurders he committed, ex cept, perhaps, one, which Burke admits having done by himself in the country. It is really melancholy tike hear," therefore " that no farther trials will place," and that, as far as the Prosecutor is concerned, Hare and his wife are now free from all challenge. Happily, however, there is one n:ethod by which they may still be brought to justice. The mother of Daft Jamie is alive; and it is competent for her to prosecute for the murder of her son, upon obtaining the concourse of the Public Prosecutor, which his Lordship cannot withhold. This, we underst an d, is a settled p o i n t, an d we know f a case in which a private party similarly circumstanced came for ward. It was in consequence of several per sons being shot, in Aberdeen, on the late ring's birthday, Captain M'Donach was that day the officer on duty, and gave the orders to the military to fire upon the mob, in consequence of which several persons were killed. Politics then ran high, and his Majesty's Advocate refused to bring the Captain to trial. But a private party came for- Ward; his Lordship was obliged to grant his con course; and Captain M‘D onac h was put upon hi s trial. The Hon. Henry Erskine conducted the case for the prosecution, but in spite of all his efforts the Jury acquitted the prisoner. We de not remember how the instance was laid, and we have not time at present to consult the authorities. We are quite certain, however, as to the main fact, that the prose csition was brought by a private party, with the concourse of his Majesty's Advocate, after that rtmetionary had refused to prosecute in his own mama. Now the inference to be drawn from this is, that the mother of Daft Jamie ought to have come forward upon this occasion; and in order to enable her to do so, a subscription should be immediately opened for raising the necessary funds to defray the expense of the trial. Were this done, hundreds, nay thou dada would subscribe to enable her to pro secute; and we are satisfied that the Lord Advo cate would not only not refuse his concourse, but would be pleased and gratified with a proceeding calculated to relieve him from the embarrassments With which he is at present surreunded. lknitTlNG (Atha AN SCHOOLS, Matters are now coming to the bearing for which Which we have so anxiously, and, we may add, ar dently contended. The teachers of anatomy in this are to meet the Lord Advocate to-day, at three o'clock, at hie chambers, with a view to an investi lotion being set on foot respecting the sources whence and the mode in which subjects have been recently supplied to our different anatomical schools, and the Royal College of Physicians, to their im mortal honour, have called an extraordinary meeting for to-morrow, "for the purpose of taking into Con sideration any measures which ;t may be expedient for the College to adopt, with a view to tranquillize the public mind on the subject of the late atrocities c , onunitted by Burke and his associates, to prevent their repetition, and to relieve the medical profes -0/2 generally f r o m t h e o di um j ust ly e xcit e d b y them," This is really gratifying. It verifies all we bare tto earnestly stated of ibis honourable pro fession, anti it sets an example which must be fol lowed. The College of Surgeons will come next; and what with the inquiries instituted by these 6 °llies, and the light which the lecturers of anatomy eao throw upon the many points in regard to which Ilia Lord Advocate must previously have been but imperfettly informed, we are confident that the whole truth will come out, and that the profession, u 's a body, will be most completely and trium libantly vindicated.—Caledonian Mercury. ------- -- - At the dinner given by the Dissenters to Mr. , 1161 "Pinetys Mr. Charl e s B u tl er , o n hi s h ea lth b e i ng Qrtush, rose to return thanks. He felt that the whole body ‘ l. Catholic" t o w hi c h be belonged, and that he himself, were highly honoured and obliged by the manner in which they kid been mentioned, and the expressions in favour of Catholic Emancipation which had been used by several of the gentlemen Present, and by the manner in which these had been received. He mentioned that he was in his 79th year ; that in his 20th year he had attended the trial of a e r r * i n ah °nYs a Roman Catholic clergyman, who was eon mned t° PerPetnal imprisonment for baptizing a child der the Catholic rite ; and that, about the same time, he 11d attended the trial at the Old Bailey of the Hon. James alSot. a brother of the then Earl of Shrewsbury, for say -1"F mass; and wh o , it t h e case h ad not failed for want of "'deneas would have been sentenced to the same punish lileut. He had advocated the cause of Catholic Emend ifation during half a century, and had always advocated it on the brcad4t prineiplea of civil and religious liberty, on Principles equally applicable to every denomination of Chriatians-:-to Lutherans, Calvinists, Armenians, Preisby terians, and last, but not least in love, Unitarians. Mr. Charles Fox had once Rent to him, and asked him what was the best ground upon which he could place the cause of Catholic Emancipation : he told Mr. Fox that it was that the state had no right to deprive any persons of any of their civil rights on account of their religions principles, if these were not contrary to allegiance, gond order, or mo rality. (i No , 14.ir,? Mr. Fax replied, -" this is not the hest ground : the only true and real ground, and such as is i v‘pregnable in every part, is, that action, not principl e , is the object of penal infliction ;" that principle, till it ie t•arried into action, is no more than thought ;" that" Goil ' , ward, good thouOits, and the devil punishes bad ones, 4 nd thesis should be left to him." He had mentioned the trial s which be had witnessed in the 20th year of his age. hie 78th year, he had witnessed the noble legislative et taetruent for the repeal of the Test and Corporation ' j et --^.n event at which none of Ids Majesty's subjects, eat even the persons beneutted by it, mere sincerely re j", iced than the Roman Catholics. He declared that what ' a d Passed at that meeting would never escape his er their Dory or gratitude. FASHIONABLE INTBLLICIBNCE. .A.lll - i.l .k 1 ..•;:•. Counteea Mingden, at V* , Ran Et.

The Monthly Meeting of the Friends of Civil and Religious Liberty took place on Monday night, at the Theatre of the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton buildings, Holborn. The Rev. Mr. Spooner was in the Chair. In the cruise of the evening a Petition, drawn np by Mr. Grady, the Secretary, in favour of Civil and Religious Liberty, was read to the Meeting, and ordered to be reported on at the next Monthly Meeting. Such- was the attachment of the celebrated Madame Grasaini to the Emperor Napoleon, that, oa one oceasion, when travelling to Naples, and being stopped ley brigands, who, among ether things, took from her a me dallion of the Emperor, lurrounded with brilliants, she begged, as a particular favour, that they would remove the brilliants, as she would willingly part with them ; hat en. treated that they would return her the portrait of her " Dear Emperor "—with which request the robbers gal lantly complied.— Tipperary Free Press. Sir Joseph Banks used to tell a story of , his being at Otaheite with Captain Cook when it was acciden tally discovered to be the King's birth-day, on which it was suddenly agreed to have a jollification ; every sou! on board got fuddled, except three men, who were on duty.— The next day they came on deck, and begged to speak to the Captain. " Well," said the Captain, " what have you got to say ?" " Please your honour, ycu were all drunk yesterday, all except we three ; will your honour be pleased to allow us to get drunk to-day?" Sir Joseph, who was standing by, was so tickled with the oddity of the request, that he begged they might be indulged, and that he would subscribe two bottles of rum and two bottles of brandy. The boon was granted, and in less than three ,hours these inessmates balanced accounts, being as drank as their hearts could wish. DOMESTIC ECONONIY.—Amongst the most useful and nutritious substitutes for wheat, and which ham the advantage of correcting the unwholesome properties of bad flour, is rice. During the scarcity of wheat in July, 1795, one of the measures adopted at the Foundling Hos pital, with a view of lessening the consumption of flour, was the substitution of rice puddings for that of flour; which tiy the table of diet, vrere used for the children's dinner twice a week. The flour puddings, far each day, have taken about 1681 b. weight of flour ; the ries puddings, substituted in their place, required only 211 b. of rice to make the same quantity of pudding ; the result of the ex periment being that, in a baked pudding made with milk, on e pound of rice would go very nearly as far se eight pounds of flour. Rice contains a great deal of nutriment its a small compass, and does not pass so quickly off the stomach, as some other substitutes for wheat flour do. It is a good ingredient in bread. Boil a quarter of a pound of rice till it is quite soft ; then put it on the back part of a sieve to drain it; and when it is cold mix it with three quarters of a pound of flour, a tea-cupful of yeast, a tea cupful of milk, and a small table-spoonful of salt. Let it stand for three hours; then knead it up, and roll it in about a handful of flour, so as to make the outside dry enough to put into the oven. About an hour and a quarter will bake it ; and it will produce one pound fourteen.ounces of very good white bread. It shuul not be eaten till it is two days old.— Companion to the British Almanach. On the 11th ult., at ten o'clock at night, a female enthusiast at Herisan, in Switzerland, set tire to her house, tinder the idea of driving out from it evil spi rits. She then awoke her husband and warned him of his danger ; she next took a Bible and Prayer-book, and after throwing into a rivulet a bag containing a gold chain and ring, traversed the village awl went to St. Gall, where she was apprehended and taken back to Herisan. The house was entirely consumed, and it was not without difficulty that the contiguous buildings were saved. Some years age, this woman was eoinpelled to quit the village of Sonderegg, which she threatened to set ou Are. So far from repenting of her crime, she regards it as a meritori ous act, well pleasing to . God. In her Bible there are a great .number of erasures.—French Paper. A SWEET TooTn.—Some time since a gen tleman who resides in an opulent town on the confines of Gloucestershire, platted a humane man-trap in his garden, for the purpose of preserving the crop of a finepeach tree, waich he had every mama to suspect had excited the cupidity of a neighbour, who, although in respectable circumstances, was distinguished by an unfortunate pro pensity for thieving. About five o'clock one morning he heard signals of distress from the garden, and on looking out of the window, he discovered his neighbour Lit the trap near the forbidden fruit, where he resolved the in truder should remain. As soon as the inhabitants of the town were stirring, he sent the crier through the street., inviting them to repair to his garden, if they wished to M. a thief in a trap. As it will be supposed, hundreds flocked to. view the novel and interesting spectacle, which, while it cured the party principally interested of his unfortunate propensity, will remain as a standing jest for ever. —De comport Telegraph. ROWLAND STEPHRN&ON. The reports circulated through the - town yeas-str• day evening of the.c..ipture of this individual ere to tally without foundation. The hat information re., specting him that may be depended upon appeared in the 7'-i./ned of yesterday, and. we have only to repeat, that yerriain iLl . relligerici. of his being in e hired vessel, bet Ween •Bideford and the Isle of Lundy, in the expectation of meeting with an out ward-bound ship, arrived in London on Snnday at mid-day. A communication having been forwarded to Bow-street, Sir R. Birnie immediately sent for Ellis and Ruthven, who were directed to proceed with all despatch for Bristol. They left town ac cordingly on Sunday afternoon, having received orders to scour the coast from Bristol to Bideford, and to examine all the intermediate ports. On Monday afternoon Bishop - was despatched to Fal mouth, his instructions being to proceed onwards until he met his colleagues. Fast-sailing vessels were in the mean time despatched by •the. Admiralty to iatercept and seareh every ship coming down the Channel. It is calculated that no certain intelli gence can arrive in town before Thursday. (From the Essex Herald.) We have copied pretty freely from the London ; Papers the particulars which have transpired respect ing the flight of this extraordinary, and we presume to think, insane gentleman, and of the amount of frauds he-is charged with having committed in the metropolis. We have thought it our duty, residing in the same county in which Mr. Stephenson lived, ' and in which he had property, to obtain the best account of his affairs in the country, which we have Igiven ourselves some trouble to collect ; and as our materials are derived from a source upon which we can place the greatest reliance, they will serve to correct many exaggerated statements which, from so singular a case, might be expected to get abroad. Marshalls, near Romford (the country residence of Mr. Stephenson), consists of about 130 acres of land, a good house • and offices, upon which he has expended a large sum of money since lie made it his own. It is splendidly furnished, and the pictures , ialone are repotted to be worth 20,0001. Mr. Ste phenson had not been at Marshalls for more than a week previous to his absconding; and such was the impression as to his immense riches, that the greatest confidence was placed in his integrity. He was the last person upon whom suspicion would have arisen of becoming insolvent, or being guilty of embezzlement. Mr. Stephenson did not asso ciate with the neighbouring gentry : be had, however, frequent visitors from London; among whom were Mr. Mathews, the comedian, and Sir George Smart, Professor of,Mnsic. The latter was frequently seen in Mr. Stephenson's pew at church. There must be some exaggeration as to the charge of bad habits, as Mr. Stephenson had been noticed for his regularity. In the midst of winter he has been seen passing to his business, sometimes on horseback, so early as eight o'clock in the morning, and returning about six in the evening. Mr. Ste phenson did not employ the tradesmen in Romford generally : there are, however, it is feared, a few long scores, as he was backward in settling accounts —one or two names have reached us to whom the , loss, should it so happen, will prove of serious in , jury. Mr. Stephenson had the misfortune to bury l his Wife, leaving eight children, about seven years back. The loss to the poor of Romford was great indeed, as she was to the neighbourhood a liberal and general benefactress ; indeed it would be an act of injustice not to state that Mr. Stephenson in many instance§ contributed freely to the charitable institutions in the place. Mr. Stephenson, how ever, was not much esteemed by his parishioners, in consequence of his haring, much against their con sent, stopped up a favourite footpath that led through a part of his estate. To effect that object he spared neither trouble nor money, and has accom plished his wishes only within the last three months; but as the magistrates' order to close the right of way contained certain conditions, which under the present circumstances are not likely to be fulfilled, the path will very probably be restored to the public.. Mr. Stephenson has made many purchases in Romford and its vicinity; of these, How Hatch, at South Weald, bought of Mr. Willan, :s thought a great bargain; he also possesses Hare Lodge, late the psi).- perry of Mr. Jack Son. Besides these, the houses he owns in the town of Romford, with the mill at its entrance, are supposed to be worth nearly 20,0001.; ,'ail latter ha bought very high. The ac count of mina of money in Mr. Stephenson's hands, belonging to individuals in Romford, has been erro neously mated. The retired miller, said to have 6,0001. in jeopardy, never lodged but 4,000/. and of which, about a week before Mr. Stephceson disap peared, at the suggestion of his friends, he drew 1,1001. There are Others also in Romford and its vicinity who have considerable balances in his hands, one for 2,9001., another •2,8001., another 6001.; and it hasbeen reported that Z. Cox, Esq., of Harwood House, Lipminster, has in Mr. Stephenson's k e epi n g as much as 8,0001. In 1523, Mr. Stephenson purchased the manor house and property of a Mr. Phillips, at Saint Stephen's, near Launceston, which estate is con tiguous to W'errington, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Accompanied by two ladies, with Mr. Yates, of the Adelphi, Mr. Ste phenson took possession of the property, on which occasion the independent electors, headed by Mr. Pearce, solicitor, of Launceston, met their new patron eight miles from the latter place, and con. , ducted him to his new property, where they were plentifully regaled with wine and other refreshments. The following day a sumptuous dinner was given by Mr. S. at the King's Arms inn, in Launceston, where he stated his intention of standing ass candi date for the borough of St. Stephen at the next election, and there was every reason to suppose he would have succeeded; but in the intermediate time, the property at Stephen's was purchased by his Grace the Duke of. Northumberland, affording a profit of some thousands to the speculation of Ste phenson. A curious circumstance transpired yesterday, showing that Mr. Stepherfron did not hesitate to appropriate the smallest sums to his own purposes. A Member of Parliament, who for some time past has taken a lively interest in the welfare of Queen borough, wishing to send a large quantity of pota toes to relieve the distressed inhabitants of that place, purchased a quantity of . that vegetable from Mr. Stephenson, understanding that they were his own growth. The Member of Parliament paid for the potatoes by a draft for about 38/. Yesterday a person called on the Member alluded to for payment for the potatoes, and on an inspection of the books at Remington's, it appeared that Mr. Stephenson had carried the cheque to his own account, and left the party from whom he obtained the potatoes to get the money how lie could. It was stated in the city last evening, that the Achfiiralty had received a telegraphic despatch, to the effect that a vessel is in pursuit of a ship, which is known to hove on board Mr. Stephenson. The ship alluded to MS in sight of her pursuers, and no doubt was entertained of the capture of the fugitive. We have just seen another (which makes the eleventh) number of Mr. Prank Howard's " Spirit of the Plays of Shakapeare." The illustrations are restricted to 1 " Measure for Measure' and the "Merry Wives of ; Windsor," and are replete with the usual defects and ex ! L*lieneies of Mr. Howard, sneh as his neat, quiet, unas suming touches ofsylvan landscape, his admirable grouping, I , and defective proportions of the human form. We have al ready, on differen' of:colons, entered so fully into the charne -1 teristics of theseShakspeare illustrations, that little remains to be said on the subject. We may however remark gene rally that the " Measure for Measure" .is ably arc appro priately illustrated by Mr. Howard, but that in his draw ings from the " Merry 'Wives of Wiudsor" he has thrown too little of the vie comica into the appearance of Sir John Falstaff; whose very look, our artist should remem ber, was a good joke. Ann Page makes a pretty figure in the Illustrations, and Slender has much charac ter about him. The remaining characters are defective for the reason lust above stated, SPORTING' INTEL LMENCE, TATTERSALL'S.

SPITITT OF THE .LOND(VS We believe that up to text night .a Lard Lie-u -tenant of Nand had not - been appoin ed. ft delays unlooked for by Ministere have occurred, it is more a proof of gepd sense on the part of those who shrink from an office which has been rendered unnaturally formidable, than of tiloaz by whom this new and repulsive character has been affixed to it. There is no denying the.: the successor of Lord Analesea will have an un enviable place. • The spirit which has dictated that nobleman's dismissal is in itself a ground of prejudice against any who may come after Viceroy him. If Lord Anglesea h e exlted for libera lity, it announces that the next Viceroy must be some degrees leas liberal ; and can the alarmed fancy of the Irish Catholics be condemned, if it anticipates in this retreat from kindness a recur rence to coercion at no distant day ? c on j ev . tures, of course, are busy with regard to th e unknown individual. A determined anti-Ca tholic the Government will hardly choose for its representative in Ireland at such a crisis; and yet there are persons who pretend that the Duke of Northumberland has been applied to on the occasion. His Grace has always voted, we believe, against the Catholics : we are ready, however, to allow that in other points, front his respectable and moderate character, as well as from his great fortune and magnificent expen diture, he might not be, personally, an injudici ous choice.—Times. It would seem to be pretty certain, that it is not intended to appoint a successor to the Marquis of Anglesea immediatelll upon the surrender of the important trust, which he has exercised with such high-minded independence. In the first instance, his place will be supplied by Lords Justices, and the routine usual in such cases will not be departed from. Lord John Beresford, the Primate of Ireland ; Sir Anthony Hart, Lord Chancellor ; and Sir John Byng, Commander of the Forces, will be the temporary depositories of the Executive autho rity. The subject of the abolition of the Vice- Regal office certainly has been much and seriously canvassed. It is pretty well known that the Leader of one of the platoons into which our motley Cabinet is broken, has ex pressed himself strongly in favour of the abo lition. Recent events unhappily prove the prea ponderance of the influence of the Right lie nourable Gentleman alluded to ; and he further claims on the subject in question, the weight due to conviction, the result of a personal experience of the inconvenience and embarrassment that are inseparable from the collisions to which such a state of things must inevitably give rise. We ?prebend that the advantage accruing to the Irish capital from the semblance of i resident Court (the only plausible argument in favour of this Imperium in Imperio) have been most pre posterously overrated, and we are quite sure that a most corrupt and iniquitous source of political influence and p ros tit u t e patronage would receive a mortal wound by the contemplated abolition ; to say nothing of the advantage that must result to the empire at large, from the removal of an obstruction which impeded the course of public measures in their legal and constitutional Awl., nets.---Morning Chronicle. Though a declaration of hostility to the claim of the Catholics be not a test of qualification for office, and the Catholic question has ahvays been left open, yet we do not exactly see that the Marquis of Anglesea could with propriety have written the letter to Dr. Curtis, had his recall or reelanation not been fixed. That the Duke of Wellington revealed to Dr. Curtis, an old friend, his intention of not attempting tO settle the Catholic Question this year, could hardly justify the Irish- Viceroy in censuring the head of the Ministry in a subsequent communication to the same Prelate, because the liberty to retain and declare his opinon allowed to every man in office, cannot be extended to a liberty to censure the acts of the Premier. The cue of Mr. Dawson is not in point. Mr. Dawson is no doubt in office., and he delivered at Londonderry, on a memorable occasion, a very different opinion on the Catlin-. lie Question, from that which he was accustom.. ed to deliver ; but what gave importance to Air. Dawson's speech was, the inferences drawn front it, with respect to the policy of the Administra tion, and nut any arraignment of the policy of Ole Ministry. We do not say that the letter of Lord. Anglesea led to his recall ; belt we say that a re call, or a determination to resign, could alone justify the letter. It is now alleged that the mo tive for recalling the, Noble Marquis was the im partiality shown by him in the discharge of the vice-regal functions. He made no distinction between Catholic and Protestant, and this was, it seems, accounted in him a henry crime. The Catholics must not be tempted to forget,, that though they are tolerated, they are still looked on with disfavour. The Protestants must be hacked, to use the expressive word of the Archbishop of j Dublin. The Duke of Wellington, it is said, intends to combat his Parliamentary opponents with the tactics from which he has already de rived his reputation as a politician. Words, he says, break no bones, and when Opposition Members are not answered, they will tire at last.. It is the answering which supplies constantly matter for fresh speechifying. He cannot of course restrain the independent part of his force, the Lethbridges, Knatchbulls, Goodies, &c., but as far as Treasury authority extends, his man dates will be obeyed. The business of Govern ment, he says, is to take money and to spend it, and so long as enough is taken, and enough ie spent, things must go on well. No speeches will persuade men to vote contrary to their interests, and their interests are found in the expenditure of Government, and not in eontrouling it. Vice must say that we feel inexpressible gratitude to his Grace for consenting to hold the reins of Government. We have h un d re d s o f treat i es on the English Constitution, some of them, no doubt, very ingenious ; but the Duke has fur• nished a more intelligible readiiag than is to be found in any of these treatises. He has divested. the business of Government of all complexity', and simplicity in machinery is always a pre sumption in favour of its excellence. No -Jar nish ; no mystification ; no long speeches of common places; no attempts to daggle by flashe:4 of imagination, or to fill them with admiration of the wisdom of that of which the merit is its am biguity or incomprehensibleness ! The raising money and spending it, is the sum and substance of governing ; those who receive the money re quire no arguments to persuade them to take it, and to see that it continues to be raised.—lbid. The world has seldom witnessed a more re markable instance of political indiscretion than is furnished by the Marquis of Anglesea's letter to Dr. Curtis. It is in vain to say that the Duke of Wellington's letter to the same person led the way. What induced the Duke to write is not yet preciSely known. His writing at all was no: the wisest act of his Grace's life, and so, by this time, we suspect, he thinks it, But the Liu.ke'4
