That the same observa tion applies in regard to the Carlisle mail. That the speed of the mail is inferior to that of the heavy coaches.

Ambler, of Ilunslet, and George Bilborough,. of Leeds, was fought in a field near the Cross-roads, Brarnham-moor, for 10 guineas a-side. On several former occasions these violations of the public peace have taken place with impunity, and considerable damage has been done to the property of the inha bitants by the multitudes assembled. To put an end to these outrages, Wm. Markham, Esq., of Beeca lodge, one of the Magistrates of the West Riding:, determined, if possible, to disperse the lawless as sembly, and, relying upon the authority of his office, he entered the ring, attended only by his bailiff, George King, ‘rith a degree of intrepidity which reflects the highest honour upon his personal - cou rage, though the discretion of venturing into such an assembly, unsupported by a strong body of police-officers, may be doubted. When. Mr. Mark ham arrived on the ground the ring was formed, and from 1,500 to 2,000 persons were assem bled to witness the fight. The battle had then made some progress, and the combatants were sits Ling on the knees of their secon.ls, who were nurs ing their darlings for the renewal of the fight. Mr. Markham ordered King to remain on the outside, and observe if any violence was offered to him, while he entered the ring. At that instant the pa- - gilists stood upon their legs, aHd recommenced their set-to, on which Mr. Markham stepped between them, and spread out his hands to prevent their coming to each other, at the same . time exclaiming, " My lads, this fight shall not go oil—l am a Magistrate of the West Riding, and am come to stop it." This was said loud enough to be heard by those to whom it was addressed, but they slid not desist. He - then held up a stick which he had in his haul, and raid, " In the King's name I command you to diTerse, and return every one peaceably to your own home." The shouts from the crowd of " Down. Knock hisn down," here became loud and general, and on-the instant a number of men who were active in the ring, seconds, bottle-holders, &e. began to use abu sive language, and to threaten what would be the consequences if he did not go away. He said, " My lads, I am a Magistrate, and these unlawful proceedings cannot be permitted." Immediately he was struck violently by a tall man, and then com menced a • general attack on him on all sides. He fought, for he was compelled to do so for his own safety, at the same time backing out of the ring as fast as he could. Most of the men had bludgeons, and Mr. Markham was struck a violent blow on the head; the force of which cut through his hat, and in flicted a severe wound, from which the blood flowed copiously. He received a wound on the hand, which disabled him from using his stick. One man ran at him with a besom shaft, and in short he was much hurt, though not dangerously. He received two other blows on the -head : and his arms, back, and shoulders were much beaten. When he got out of the ring, several men from Aberford came round him, and requested he would go in no more, as they believed he would be murdered if he did. The whole was only the work of a moment or two. -. On Wednesday the parties underwent an exami nation before Christopher Beckett, Esq., George Banks, Esq., W. H. Crompton, Esq., and the Mayor of Leeds, at the West-Riding Magistrates office, in Leeds, when the following persons were placed at the bar : Joseph Anzbler, one of the principals; Edward Hampson, seconder ; John Scatchard, hackney coachman; Wm. Dixon, ring-keeper; Benjamin Brown, a labourer, and backer of Ambler; HTm. Langthorn, John Carter, Joseph Dinsdale, and Sa muel Winn. All the prisoners acknowledged that they were present at the fight; but they denied that they were in any way concerned in the brutal assault upon Mr. Markham. The defeadants, were iden tified by John Robinson, Thomas Gray, and James Timford, all of Aberford, and Thomas Dewhirst, Chistopher Breckett, -Esq., who presided at the examination, told the prisoners that bail would be accepted for the appearance of each of them, themselves in 20/., and a surety for each in 20/, on which they procured bail to appear at the ses sions for the West Riding, appointed to be held next week at Wakefield. George Brook, George Bilhorough, Join Hales, and John Watkins were examined before the same magistrates, charged with being concerned in this violent outrage. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday. The trials will .probably take place at the assizes at York, and not at the Quarter Sessions fer the West The following is imcribed upon a stone erected over the remains of poor old Glover, Who was murdered at Ashfurdby, near Melton Mewhray, three years ago : " Sacred to the memory of William Glover, who was murdered in his own house, on the night of the 16th of March, 1825, 'in the 67tu year of his age s.lortals, rejoice not in your strength, • Nor boast life's pleasure in its length; • •• At noon securely earth I trod, At night vas hurried to My God !" The misunderstanding between the Emperor fd . Morocco and this cou.try, or rather between the forme , and the Governor of Gibraltar, has, we le trn, been ter minated arnicAly. It is believed that upon inquiry, it will be'finind that the blockade of the port of Tangier wa: too hastily resolved upon. Our complaint originated in the capture of a vessel unprovided with a Mediterranean pass by one of the Emperor's cruisers; a step which the latter, according to the existing treaties with the Bar bary States, was justified in. Upon a representation that British interests were concerned in the captured vessel, she was given up ; kit this concession alone not having been considered a sufficient restitution, demur rage for her detention was demanded, which was of course refused. At the moment this demand was made, the Em peror was about to proceed on his annual visit into the in terior of his kingdom ; and when subsequently a block ade of Tangier was threatened, if it was not acquiesced in, a delay consequent upon his distance from the capital, in communicating his resolve, necessarily ensued. This delay wag not, however, brooked ; umbrage was immediately taken, and in spite of the entreaties of , the Governor of Tangier against such a step, we blockaded his coast, — Hampshire Telegraph. We insert an able memorial from all the Public Bodies in Edinburgh, unto the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury, regarding the acceleration of their London Mail. We rejoice to see Edinburgh so hearty in this important cause, which, so gone about,. must succeed. The line from London to Edinburgh, however, is by Huntingdon, Borough- • bridge, Carlisle, and Beatock, at least until the new line of road from Carlisle to Edinburgh is com pleted, if it shortens, as it is said it will do the dis tance, about 12 miles, they will then receive their London Mail in Edinburgh by noon. By this route also, one mail-coach could bring both the Edinburgh and the Glasgow bags to Beatock or to Carlisle, as may be required. Unto the Right • Honourable the Lords Commis sioners of his Majesty's Treasury. • The Petition of the Conveners.of Public Bodies, and of the Bankers of the City of EdinbUrgb, Humbly sheweth, • That. we, the Conveners of Public Bodies, the Bankers of the City of Edinburgh, humbly beg leave to brine. under your Lordships' consltleration, the varioeis7Memorials•that have been presented. to his Majesty's Post-Master General, particularly that of the t bartered Banks and Private Bankers, dated 29th April last, praying for an acceleration of the Mail between London and this City, and other im, provements connected therewith. That it is with the deepest regret the petitioners feel themselves constrained to state to your Lord ships, that his Grace has come to the resolution of declining to make any alteration on the present ar rangement, principally upon the ground, that it would be attended with additional- expence—a considera tion, which they earnestly hope will not be enter tained by your Lordships, the more especially as . it has been generally found, that in proportion to an increased expedition in the interchange of correspon dence, the•revenue has. been augmented. In the detail which the petitioners shall have she honour of - laying before your - Lordships, they htith. bly hope to be enabled to skew in the most satisfac tory manner, that what is asked is not only reason able and practiCable, but of vital importance to the prosperity and farther advancement of the Agricul tural, Commercial, and Manufacturing Interests of this part of the Empire; and that the Legislature, in framing the different Acts of Parliament in re gard to the post-office department, have invariably considered the forwarding of the mails with " speed and expedition " throughout the Itingdom,,to be es sential " for the convenience and improvement of trade and commerce.—[9 Anne, c. 10, s. 2; 27 Geo. 111. cap. 9 ) The perfection at which the contractorsfor coaches have arrived in their management—the improve ments made in the despatch of post-office business —and the excellent state of the roads, from the Mac adamized system, all entitle the public to indulge the hope, that a corresponding : ; improvement in the acceleration of communication by mail coaches will follow, not merely by a reasonable increase of velo city, but by greater expedition in the changing of horses, by cutting' off all time wasted on the road, oe by unnecessary stoppages ; .and by making such changes in the line of .road, to shorten the.distance between the two capitals, as may be done consist ently with .due regard to an equal dispensation of the benefits attending on expeditious conveyance. From May 1825 to May 1827, there was a double mail run between London and this city ; the one by York and Wooler, the other by Weatherby and Berwick. But from this arrangement no . benefit was derived, as the York Mail was made to take such a circuitous route, that it did not reach Edin burgh till four hours and a half after the arrival of the mail by Weatherby and Berwick; consequently the letters by the York Mail remained in the post office all night, and were not delivered till next morning. The petitioners would humbly suggest, that this double mail should be re-established, but upon dif ferent prinCiples, which they - hope to be able to sa tisfy your Lordships would be fraught with a two fold advantage, namely,• not only by arriving in Edinburgh upwards of three hours earlier, but by saving an entire day in the continental correspond ence of the whole of Scotland, and of that part 'of England which is on that line of road. This being a matter in which the prosperity of the country is deeply interested, they are satisfied it will obtain your Lordships' very serious, and they trust favour able conSideration. The, petitioners shall now briefly lay before your Lordships, the plan submitted by . , them to the Post-Master GCnertil, commencing with the route by York. YORK RoAD. 7 .--In place of going round by, Tad caSter, they would propose taking the direct line by Selby, &c. to York, by which a considerable distance, and consequently some time may be saved. A delay seems to exist in the rate of travelling between London, by Huntingdon, to Alconbury Hill, of nearly 30 minutes, for the sole purpose of waitirg the arrival of the Norwich Mail at that point, which, being a cross post, they with deference sub-' rift, ought to be made subservient to the great north' road.. lit point of fact, the Glasgow.mail travelling. by Barnet, which is a longer road, arrives at Alcon bury Hill 'at the same time with the Edinburgh mail. These two points being conceded, would produce ,a saving .of one hour. . . The - petitiorgerS are aivare that in all mail coach contracts, the contractors ;are allowed a . ..specified time, within which.they oblige themselves to convey the mail a given distance, and out of which time all stoppages are to be taken ; but they humbly sub mit, that if the time at present allowed be such as to admit of unnecessary -. delay on the part of the con tractors, because they can with perfect ease make up the time so lost by increased speed, then it naturally follows; that were the Postmaster-General to reduce the now allowed for'conveying the mail, so as to admit of PlO unnecessary stoppages on the road, velocity would not be increased, whlie - on the other hand much time would be gained. The-petitioners have not any doubt that, by this means, a gain of one hour and 30 minutes .might be made. There are various stoppages on the road at diffe rent stages; by a new arrangement of which a saving of thirty minutes at least might be gained.. These four items would produce a saving of con siderable rime, and the petitioners respectfully sai mit, that the farther ,avieg necessary for..brineing in the mail at, one o'clock p.m. may be easily Recoil). plfshed by a ve'r : , - srriall acceleration is speed. • The total result would be, that the aver4ge rate of travelling need scarcely exceed 9f Miles an hour, which the petitioners understand is far within the speed at which other mails travel. With such arrangements made, the despatch from Edinburgh would not require to be earlier than 11 o'clock a.m., by the mail from thence to London tra velling at the same rate. In short, it is matter of equal importance to have the delivery of letters in bdinburgh as soon after the arrival of the mails, and the closing of the bags within as short a time before their despatch as possible, in order that the utmost time during the proper business hours may be al lowed for answering correspondence in direct course of post. Under the present arrangement, the London Mail arrives at half-past 4 p.m.; letters cannot be given out, even to those who have boxes, till 5 p.m.; a ge neral delivery cannot be completed by the runne,S till?--at each and all of these hourS the Banks and On the other hand, all letters intended to go by the London Mail must be in the . post-office before 7 a.m. By the proposed change, the letters would be delivered before the Banks shut, and the mail bags would not require to be cIoF.A till half past ten or a quarter to 11 o'clock a.m. next day; tints affording very great increased facility to the despatch of busi ness. And when it is considered that Edinburgh com prises a population ofupwardSof 150,000 souls,that is the seat of the Chartered B iuks for Scotland— le source through which the whole money trarisae- tions of that kart of the United Kingdom pass; and also the duties on imports and exports ;. that it is the scat of the Courts - of Law and of Justice, of the Boards of Excise and Customs, and that Edinburgh and Leith pay upwards of 55,0001. a year of post office revenue, besides the very•large sums paid of excise and custom-house duties, not, only from its foreign trade, but from its connection with the most extensive distillers in Scotland, and in particular those entered for the English market and conse quently deeply interested in the acceleration of wrn munication with London, the petitioners huMbly, but confidently hope, that this appeal to your.,LLord ships will not be in vain. WEATHERBY ROAD.—The road by Weatherby and Wooler,. being 161 miles shorter than the road by Ferrybridge and York, reduces the distance be tween the two capitals of this kingdom to 391+ miles, which, by a direct mail coach, travelling by that line, upon the principles that have been sug gested for the York road, would bring the London mail into Edinburgh by 50 minutes past •11 a.m., and by returning at - the same speed, would, by leav 7 ing Edinburgh at 4 a.m. reach -London by 10 p.m. on the evening of the second day—being two hours before the dispatch of the Continental mail, and thereby save one complete day in all correspondence with the continent (which at present lie in the Lon don post-office 18f hours) and one entire night to travellers by that conveyance. CARLISLE MAlL.—Another branch of correspon dence, in which Scotland is deeply interested, is that which; is conveyed by the Carlisle Mail. It com prehends all letters by the Falmouth Packets, and also from the great manufacturing and commercial towns of Birmingham, Manchester, and Liverpool. By a recent alteration, the Manchester and Liver pool Mails are made to arrive at Carlisle 50 minutes earlier than formerly. Yet no- corresponding im provement has been made on tke distance between Carlisle and Edinburgh. To satisfy your Lordships that there does exist just cause of complaint, the petitioners humbly sub mit what follows, in evidence of the state of the roads : Ist. The distance from London to Glasgow, by Leeds, is 406 miles, and that mail arrives in Glas gow 25 minutes before 4 o'clock P.M. The distance from London to Edinburgh, as at present run, is 3981 miles, and that mail arrives in Edinburgh at 30 minutes past 4 o'clock P.M. • Thus, while the distance between. London and. Edinburgh is eight miles less than between London . and Glasgow, besides avoiding the• hilly country by Leeds (which hills ought to.make a difference of at least 30 minutes) the Edinburgh Mail takes 55 mi nutes more than the Glasgow Mail. • 2d. The distance between Carlisle and Glasgow is 95 miles, and between Carlisle and Edinburgh 92 miles. Under the recent change, both mails leave Carlisle at the same time, yet the one arrives in Glasgow 25 minutes before 4 P.M., and the other in Edinburgh at 25 minutes before —5 P.M., being--pre cisely one hour later than the Glasgow Mail, while that of Edinburgh has three miles less to travel. 3d. It is notorious that the heavy coaches, in many quarters of the country, exceed in speed the rate of travelling by which the London Mail to Edinburgh is regulated. With the alterations and improvements suggested on the Dumfries and Glasgow day-mails, which are very fully stated in the Memorial from the Chartered Banks and Private Bankers in this city, which has been referred to, three deliveries per day would be secured to Edinburgh, each of which would include 'penny-post letters, which would be of the greatest public benefit, viz., one in the morning as at present, comprehending the west, north, Dumfries, and Irish letters; another for the London letters at half-past 12 noon, or 1 P.M. ; and the last in the evening, for the letters by the Carlisle Mail. By these arrangements, while the north of Scot land would not be injured, they could not be bene fited, unless a double mail through Fife was estab- lished, for forwarding, the letters to that quarter that arrive by the London Mail, and to proceed. from Dundee by the coast road. .In that event, the even• ing mail from Edinburgh by Perth would go the inland road by Strathmore. But it is respectfully submitted, that the mail from the north cannot be brought up at a later hour, nor the general mail to the north be despatched from Edinburgh at an earlier hour than at present, without manifest injury both to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the.whole of the north of Scotland. • Keeping in view that the correspondence brought by the Carlisle mail, and the intercourse with Edin• burgh and Ghisgow, are of much.greater importance. to. -the north of Scotland than their correspondence' with London, and that the GlasgOW north mail branches off at Perth, then it naturally follows, that. if there -were .to be either an earlier arrival of.the mail from Edinburgh at Path, or a later despatch for Glasgow from Perth, the time corresponding with.these alterations must be taken from Glasgow, which has already too little time for answering its north country correspondence. The Postmaster-General has in so far met the wishes of the petitioners, that by a recent alteration, the north mail has been brought up three quarters of an hour earlier to Glasgow, from which they humbly hope, that, actuated by the same motive, it is not the intention of his Grace that there should be an earlier despatch of that mail from Edinburgh. They shall only therefore respectfully suggest, that it .may be made to arrive in Edinburgh from . the north in sufficient time to be forwarded at 6 a.m. by the direct London mail by Wooler, and afford to the north of Scotland the benefit' of one day's ac celeration in their continental correspondence. In effecting these great and important improve ments, there may. be an increase of eXpendittire, but this must be very unimportant, rid, judging from past experience, would be much more than corn. peustued by the iiitTe6se of revenue aris,ng from the increase of. facility in the interchange of cor- respondence. By comparing the . post-office revenue now, with what it was prior to Mr. Palmer's system being adopted, and making every allowance for the dise re►ze in the rate of postage, it may be easily seen what proportion has been acquired b.:, faciitiy in the interchange of correspondence, and every progres sive improvement in that respect that has taken place since the original institution of mail-coaches, has been attended with a similar effect. Besides, when a constitutional view of the post office establishment is taken, it appears, that while from the sip plus remaining after defraying the ex pence of conveyance, a source of revenue is on the one hand afforded to the Crown, Parliament has pro vided that the utmost " speed, expedition, and safety," on the other hand, shall be secured, and guaranteed to the subject. The petitioners shall conclude by. observing, that Liverpool has lately got an increased acceleration on The Petitioners therefore humbly pray your Lordships is take the premises into your early, serious,- and; they earnestly hope, favourable consideration, and to issue such orders as.may accomplish an object of such vital importance to Scotland. ~ Lllcre follow the signatures of all the Publiq Bodies.] • WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, J. 10. Louis Marie Lambert and Augusta :Eli Prince, the . first :'nparentirabout 40 ,years•Of - age, and the second to.;..;it 25, were this _morning put ,to the -bars upon an i;.,"ictmenr, charging them with having as.. salted a i.•olnig man, .iamcd Charles Morris; • From the evidence ofelhe• prosecutor; a young. fel , low - of 'apparently about4 - B..years of age, it appeared that lie was accosted by the prisoners in Hyde-park, at seven o'clock on the evening of the 2d January.: He was at that time between Grosvenor-gate and Hyde-park-corner, within a short distance of the statue of Achilles. • They-commenced by asking if he spoke French; and, upon kis replying in the ne gative, they interchanged a - few words in .the same language, and immediately after the younger man, Prince, seized him by the arm, and dragged him a few yards from the footpath, .when they both, pyo ceaded-to the commission of some acts which cannot be described. In a short time, however, he heard persons approaching, and having repeated his cries of" Murder !" the prisoners ran away. They were pursued, and Prince escaped; but Lambert, upon being taken, drew out a knife, and cut. a large wound in his breast. , . . The prosecutor, upon being cross-examined by Mr. EATON, the Counsel for the prisoners, denied that he was sitting upon a bench at the time the prisoners accosted him, or that he had been in the company of women of the town, or any other women; he never kept company with women at ary time; he admitted, however, that although had been bred to the business of shoemaking, -he never worked at it ; and that he lived with his father, doing nothing. He had once lived in a place at Covent-garden market, as an errand boy, aad there was a gentleman on the Jury who must recollect his having been in the service of a Mrs. Walker, but he had certainly not done any thing for the last three weeks. During the whole of this cross-examination, and for some time before it, the prisoners had been de claiming very fluently to their Counsel, and to WA interpreter, in their native language. From what we gathered in detached sentences, and from the statements afterwards made to the jury by their Counsel, they denied in foto the accusation of assault, and declared, that having ,been only six Weeks in London, they lately changed their lodgings for the vicinity of Hammersmith•bridge to Titch field-street. . Finding it necessary; however, to return to their old lodgings for a pair of trousers which they had forgotten, they, on their way through the Park, inquired front the prosecutor, who was sitting on a bench, the nearest way to Titchfleld-street, offering him at the same time, a sixpence to conduct them. , Lambert having pulled out his purse, which contained two sovereigns., to ' find. out the sixpence, the. prosecutor, according io his account, snatched at it; and upon Lambert resisting, and calling thief, the prosecutor drew a knife and plunged it into his breast. Prince had, during the progress of the inquiry, walked on; and Lambert, on being thus attacked, ran towards the crowded part of the Park for safety. The prosecu tor, hover, pursued him with en intention to eotn 7 plete his crimes, by preferring the present accusa'- tion, and raised a cry of " stop thief;" in conse quence of which he was seized and taken to the police-office. • In corroboration of this statement, a witness said that Lambert did cry out,' Not me, stop thief, not me," at the time lie was taken; and a person in court observed Lambert bleeding at the moment ke was seized, and before the nature of the accusation was kno4n. Mr. EATON having addressed the Court on behalf of the prisoners, called two witnesses to character, who spoke of them as having at all times conducted themselves with decency and propriety. The CHAIRDIAN having summed up, the Jury, without much deliberation, declared the . prisoners Guilty. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner's to be con fined for six months in the House of Correction, ob serving that they escaped a severer sentence for this mott aggravated asault, because, as they were natives Of a country in which the crime to which it referred was not visited with the punishment which it would deserve, they might be supposed, frdm their ignorance of the language of England and its customs, to labour under some disadvantage. Lambert, who is a tall and manly-looking fellow, burst into tears when the verdict was announced, and declared loudly against the perjury of the prosecutor. Prince, who is much more youthful in appearance, bore his fate with fortitirde; It is a remarkable cir cumstance that the prosecntor declared Primed was the person who dragged him from the foot-path, and that he was above a quarter .of an hour in rt e i r under fear, although be actually seeur, , ,ql to be not- infc:ior to Prince in bodily power, and. the path near the affair happened must have been crowdet:. with paSsengers during tin; whole of the time. The ri.:Loipts of the chief Theatres of Paris kir. the two lust months of the year are stated. in one of the journals to have been 1,001,371 fralks, or about 40,0001. sterling. The following is the proportion of this sum collected at each Theatre : Francs. .Porte-Saint-Martia The Circus.... Varietcs The Theatre of Madame 110,42t Ishmtveautes 92,42 Opera Feydsau 83,786 Gaite 70,433 Theatre Francais 64,413 Vaudeville Ambigu Odeon 25,487 1,001,371 According to this theatrical :budget_ tt,e two ,Liou,es in which the reaular' 'tlr.ma is actedeamely, the Theatre Fr,4nc.iis and Odeon—only yielded together the BUM of 89;000 - frxnes, or about 3,6001. sterling, in two months, whilethr Porte St. Martin, where melo.deame and farce are ,rformed, produced 124,426 francs, or about 5,0001. xithin the same period. So touch for the popularity of the regular drama in the French capital—so much for the respect paid to the walks of Corneille and Racine, in con tradistinction to pieces in which the broadest farce is set off by the most grotesque and extravagant feats of agility. The revenue accruing from stage exhibitions may be di vided among the various classes of works, the perform ance of which attract the spectators, who pay it in the following manner:—The four establishments in which short pieces of comedy or farce, intermixed with songs, are performed, producedyin. the last two months 371,966 franes, or 15,0001. AleVo-dritme and vaudevilles acted in four others brought 369,408 francs.; music at the two lyrical theatres produced a receipt of 170,097 francs ; and the two theatres for the yegttlar drama, for Corneille and tloliere, only brought 69 ; 000, as above-mentionkid..
