Litical odour has . always- been offensive to the tuition. To the desiderata for a perfect Go vernment m IMAM, we must add a liberal dis pensation of patronage among respectable mem bers of the Catholic community. If they are excluded as a sect from the looked-for con sequences of emancipation, they will still band themselves together as a discontented sect, and we shall all in that case feel that the policy of the Executive has not supported that of the Legislature. So far, indeed, as de pends on the local administration, there is little to fear on this head ; hut such a thing as an over strict controul has, ere now, been exerted from head-quarters. In the mean time, it will be seen that the third Cork trial has ended in an acquittal of two prisoners who were the subjects of it. Some heat appears to have arisen be tween the Counsel on both sides, a conse quence almost inevitable in prosecutions affect ing the political state of the country, where the lives of men are in peril. The character of the witnesses has here told for more titan their testi mony, and it is probable, that unless further cor roborations can be found in the remaining cases than those which have hitherto propped up the narratives of Sheehan, Daly, Nowlan, &c., the accused will have little to fear.—Times. The trials at Cork have taken a turn which few could have anticipated. Our readers will see two men tried on Thursday, Burke and Shine, have been found not guilty, the evidence having been the same as on the former trials. We have now, therefore, on the same evidence, Ist, four men found guilty ; 2d, one man ac quitted, and three men left on account of the disagreement of the Jury for trial at the Assizes; and, 3d, two men found not guilty. It appears that some of the witnesses have, in their evi dence, varied materially from the statements in the sworn informations. One of them, Daly, is distinctly charged with having sworn at the Castle, that lie saw a large quantity of pikes forging ; that 1001. were to be given for the job and that all the priests in the neighbourhood of Doneraile were mixed up with the conspiracy. The Solicitor-General was, of course, too good a tactician to ask questions, the answers to which would shake the credibility of his own witness ; and not a word was said about the pikes or the priest at the trial. But this is not the only im peachment of Daly's testimony. It is stated by the Cork Southern Reporter, that, during the examination of Daly, Baron Pennefather called Mr. O'Connell to him, and conversed with him for a few minutes, and then gave him the in formation sworn by the witness the day after the alleged occurrences in the tent at Kildor rery fair, and they did not contain a syllable re lative to the paper, which, he said, in his evi dence on the trials, was handed about by Leary, of of the men convicted on Friday. The account of the cross-examination of Mr. O'Con nell, touching these cross-examinations, is curious :—" He said he swore them the day after the meeting in the tent, and that he told the Magistrate th e truth ; he did not know, lie next said, whether he told lies or truth, but he told what he said and who signed the paper. He gave the informations before Col. Hill and Mr. Creagh, immediately after the transactions in the tent." The information was identified by Mr. Creagh, who swore to the signature being that of Daly. There is no doubt that attacks of a murderous 'nature were made against several individuals. The difficulty is to discover the real nature of their acts. They might originate in a great con spiracy, or they might be unconnected. Where witnesses to whom suspicion naturally attaches are not borne out by other evidence, and are, besides, found to give different statements at different times, the separation of what is true from what is false is a task involving no slight responsibi lity. If we could suppose the statement of the Solicitor-General to be true, that the class of gentry and the rest of the population have no sympathy with each other, and that intimidation is carried so far, that the lower orders may be described as in one great conspiracy against the higher, it would be vain to look for any other evidence than such as is produced on these trials. But then we have no other evidence for this conspiracy than the very men who are naturally looked on with suspicion. How ever this may be, it must be allowed that in a country like Ireland, in which . the law has little efficacy, to procure witnesses to hazard their lives by giving evidence, from any less powerful motive than saving their own lives, must in most cases be next to an im possibility. Where witnesses of a bad descrip tion can only be obtained, it would be dangerous to say that no credit shall be given to them. A number of them may agree in such a manner as to certain particulars as to place them beyond doubt, while one or two of the witnesses may state other particulars which rest on their sepa rate credit, and are therefore not so much en titled to be believed. In India, according to the accounts of the most experienced Magis trates, there is hardly a witness sworn who does not mix up falsehood with truth. Were a wit ness, because lie is discovered in falsehood, to be utterly discredited, it would be impossible to administer justice at all. The first impres sion of a Magistrate from Europe is to dis credit the testimony altogether; but he soon finds that he must exercise hisingenuity in endea vowing to disentangle the truth from the falsehood. If there be any foundation for the alleged conspiracy the operation of these trials must be exceedingly mischievous. It will serve to encourage the guilty minded, and to intimidate those from whom evidence can alone be expected. Even as it is, the witnesses in these trials must all be removed from the country, because, to expose men who have given evidence to destruction, would give hereafter impunity to outrage. As it is, the charge to the county for the witnesses, including their future safety, must be enormous. Sup posing some of the witnesses had not been dis covered to be unworthy of credit, there would always have been a chance of an acquittal out of a number of trials. In what a light does an ac quittal of one party, even out of several, where the evidence and the transactions are the same, exhibit justice ?—Morning Chronicle. We should look upon Mr. Huskisson's re turn to office at this particular juncture as one of the greatest additional calamities which could befall the country. 11Ir. Huskisson must now return to office either with his principles or `without his character : if with his principles, he can only, by persisting in them, accomplish the ruin they have already well-nigh produced ; while, if he abandons his principles for the sake of place, the history of every politician who has done so will tell him, in characters of awful warning, that in such a return to office he will be able neither effectually to serve his country nor, in the end, himself. We do not deny Mr. Huskisson's talents, though we think they have been more misapplied than those of any public man within our recollection ; and we .hall thinit more highly of them if we see that he has the honesty and the courage man fully to acknowledge his errors, now that they are proved to be such by melancholy and instructive experience. The country requires no humiliating retraction from Mr. Huskisson ; but, to carry with it the air of sincerity and self-conviction, it must be without that imputation of motive which common minds, at least, will assign to it, if a return to place be the consideration of his re pentance. No ; if Mr. Huskisson's object be to serve his country, and, at the same time, to vindicate his own character for political sincerity, both those objects may be more effectually ob tained at this time out of office than in. Let Mr. Huskisson, in his place in Parliament, can didly avow his errors; let him give every assist ance in his power towards repairing the vast mischief which he has caused. Then, hav ing done so, if the country wants Mr. Huskis son's services, it will be time enough to have them ; though we confess that we have our doubts whether the time will ever come when the country in general will be cordially reconciled to one whose mistaken policy, though renounced, must leave behind it the sting of a pai , •ful recol lection. And what, we would next ask, can the Duke of Wellington hope to gain by a reunion with Mr. Huskisson ? To the latter it may af ford a triumph, while in the Duke it will be a tacit acknowledgment that Mr. Huskisson ought never to have been dismissed. But a leader of the House of Commons is wanted, Mr. Peel having confessedly failed in that capacity— and no man, it would seem, is fit to take that station but Mr. Huskisson ! If such were really the case, the country, indeed, must be in a sad condition, and had much better deplore the retrograde of intelle,t, than boast, as it does, of its march. But the truth is, there are persons enough quite as well qualified to take the lead of the House of Com mons as Mr. Huskisson. It is a trick of trade (for politics are, after all, we fear, but a trade) to have the world believe that no tact for office is to be found out of its existing pale. On the contrary, the country, we believe, is tired of the hacks of office, especially since so many of them have shown a much greater disposition to gib than to improve their straightforward pace. Be sides, the Duke of Wellington, we should think, must be anxious that his representative in the House of Commons should be a person every way identified with the Government, and in full possession of its views and confidence ; but what real cordiality, or what, indeed, beyond a hollow truce, can be supposed on a sudden to exist between his Grace and a gentleman whom he only the other day dismissed from office with as little ceremony as he would have discharged his footman ?—Morning Herald. ' Notwithstanding the feelers which were put forth about a month ago, and the vauntings in which some of our cotemporaries have since in dulged, respecting a revival of trade, it does not appear, either from actual observation, or from the accounts which reach us from the city or the country, that any improvement has taken place either in our external, or internal, trade, beyond what might have been expected from the season of the year, and the demands which it invariably brings along with it. Now is the time when the manufacturer is always busy in preparing the fabrics which are in demand during the winter, and the merchant in laying in a stock of them for his customers during the same period ; and as both these 'classes, since the panic of 1825, have cautiously avoided every thing in the shape of speculation, and limited, the one the amount of his produce, and the other the amount of his purchases, as nearly as each could guess to the amount of consumption—and farther, as the stocks held by both have thus been extremely small, and only unavoidable purchases made while any of the former remained on hand—it was naturally to be expected, under such a state of things, that in every instance when the season of demand came, it would be as brisk as it would be temporary and unprofitable. And such ap parently has been the case now, with this un favourable exception, however, that the demand far autumn and winter goods has by no means been so brisk as, from the reduced state of the stocks on hand, might have been anticipated. Morning Advertiser. Woodcocks have already made their appear ance in this county. In Worcestershire, Cheshire, and Monmouthshire, several have been shot.—Staffordshire Mercury. A woodcock—the first this season that has been seen in the neighbourhood—was shot on Monday last by Mr. R. C. EnstoNos, of Ilagsend, South Petherton. —Hants Advertiser. The thought has often struck us, in consider ing the many difficulties in the way of fixing a minimum of wages, to preserve to those persons whose labour has created the whole wealth of the community a fair portion of the produce of their toil, that the reduction of wages, below the rate which is necessary for the comfortable sub sistence of the labourer, might be prevented, by the for mation of a fund, out of the taxes, the county rates, or the poor rates, for the carrying on of some great work of public utility, at which employment might be found when - ever the general rate of wages fell below a certain point. If, for instance, :a great read from the metropolis to the northern extremity of Scotland were commenced, and the rate of wages to those employed in making it was such that an unskilled labourer might earn eight shillings a week, it would, in periods of distress, not only offer the means of present relief to all who were unable to earn that amount in their ordinary occupations, but it would remove that competition of the working manufacturers, which is always greatest at the periods when it is most injurious, and would prevent accumulations of stocks of manufac tured goods, at periods when accumulation only adds to the existing evil. In our speculations upon this subject we have thought, that as present advantage would be com bined with ultimate utility, ordinary obstacles to the for mation of a direct course of road, ought not to he re garded, and that mountains should be levelled, and val lies filled up, so that the great public way should pre sent one grand undeviating line. We were far from thinking with CASTLEREAGH, that it was useful to employ men to dig boles one day and to fill them up the next; but our objection to the seeming waste of labour in over coming the obstacles to the preservation of an almost straight line, was removed by the consideration, that the work would proceed only when expenditure upon it would absolutely be charity to the suffering people. Our views of the practicability, as well as of the great present and ultimate advantages of such an undeitaking, have been materially strengthened, by observing the extraordinary power of the locomotive engines on the railway in remov ing materials from excavations to form embankments. The engine employed to convey the earth from the excavation between Eccles and the River Irwell, to the embankment forming over Chat Mess, propels waggons, containing forty tons of clay, at the rate of seven miles an hour ; and Mr. STEVENSON'S Rocket bas recently propelled twenty tons at the rate of twenty miles an hour. An engine, of power like this, removing earth to the distance of a mile at the rate of two hundred tons an hour, would level hills and fill up vallies with almost inconceivable rapidity ; and ob stacles insurmountable in the olden time would now be as an ant-hill in the course of an elephant. Such being the facilities - with which ,the great national work we have mentioned might he carried into effect, we trust that the public mind will be directed to it, not only in the light of profitable investment of capital, if undertaken by a com pany, and with the view to its immense ultimate utility, but as the means of providing present subsistence to our distressed countrymen, without bringing their labour into injurious competition with existing employments.—Mast eh/NW Times. - _ rOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazettede France, dated Saturday.) LIES OF THE DAY. PARIS, OCT. 30.—Le Temps—M. de Chabrol is ti !►e Minister of the Interior ; M. Roi, of Finance ; M. de ta Ferronays, Foreign Affairs ; General Ambrugeac, Minis ter of War; M. de la Polignac, President of the Council. Le Constitutionnel-1 he seizure of the contraband goods addressed to Lord Stuart, confirmed by M. Roi, has been taken off by order of his successor, and the goods have been restored to the Ambassador, upon condition of their being re exported. As the Journal des Debats has joined the liberal jour nals to deny the Comae Directeur, we think it useful to call to mind what M. de Chateaubriand, or the Conserva tear, said in 1819 on these committees. " Frenchmen,—The honest men whom you ought to choose to represent you are those Royalists who have already merited your suffrages. These men du not intrigue ; the) are not designated by Comae Directeurs." The Gazette quotes other passages, in which the exist ence of the Comae Directeur is strongly asserted. The Gazette quotes at full length the Act of the British Parliament of the 39th George 111., chap. '79, against " Various dangerous societies, such as the Correspondinv Society of London. and others," in order to show that in England, in one of the greatest dangers to which the Bri tish Constitution ever was exposed, the public liberties and the royal prerogative were saved by parliamentary measures. (Neither the Gazette nor the Messager and 3foniteur of Friday contain any news relative to the affairs of the East.) (From the Messager des Chambres of Saturday.) (SECOND EDITION.) FRONTIERS OF WALLACHIA, OCT. s.—No military movement has yet taken place, but it is affirmed that the corps of Count Pahlen will occupy Wallachia, and that of General Kisselew, Moldavia. The Commissariat at Bu charest is already taking the necessary steps to provide for its subsistence. According to information communicated to the Divan, a corps of reserve of 4,000 men will arrive here from Russia by way of Reinnick by the 13th of October. The conti nual passage of military stores proves that Russia is using all its efforts to secure for a long time the po'ilession of the Principalities. The Russian engineers have been em ployed for some days in collecting statistical information respecting the inhabitants and their property. We are still uncertain with regard to all future relations with the Porte, but it is affirmed that the Divan of Wal lachia has bad a secret corresposulence on the subject with Gen. Diebitsch. According to accounts from Krajowa, a handful of Turks had committed all kinds of excesses, and pillaged between Widdin and Orsowa, notwithstanding the publication of the treaty of peace. '1 he cases of plague become less and less frequent in our part of the country; but it is said that the disorder still rages at Krajowa. LEGHORN, OCT. 6.—(From the Florence Gazette.) — According to letters from Egina ol the 20th, and from Navarin of the 26th of September, it seems that Count Capo d'lstria intends to convoke a new National Assem bly, in consequence of the treaty of peace. Meantime he causes the operations to be continued agains' the fortresses and the continent of Greece, which are still in the hands of the Turks. Admiral Miattlis is now blockading Pre• vesa with the Elas frigate, while Admiral Sacchiny, with six men of war, blockades the Gulf of Salonichi. Count Augustin Capo &Istria has left Missolonghi, with a body of troops, intending to march against Athens. Prince Dem. Arius, with another corps, is going to Eubea, and a third is marching to Epirus. According to letters from Corfu, Epirus is in a most melancholy situation. The greatest anarchy every where prevail.. Eight thousand Albanians support the Pacha against the Sultan ; and as they have not received any pay for several months, the in habitants, both Christians and Mahometans, are subject to all kinds of extortion. (From the Gazette de France.) PARIS, OCT. 30.—Their Sicilian Majesties arrived at Turin on the 22,1 of October. The King of Sardinia went a stage to meet them, and brought them directly to his country seat at Aglie. The Grand Duchess of Hesse Darmstadt died on the 24th Mat, at the Castle of Anerbach. The health of this Princess had long been in a precarious state, but it was not supposed that she was so near her end. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung of Oct. 27.) VIENNA, Ocr. 22.—Metalliques, 1021 ; Bank Shares, 1234. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, OCT. 1 6.—The frequent exchange of couriers between St. Petersburgh, Paris, and London, gives reason to suppose that important negotiations are on foot between the three Courts, and that the affairs of the East still oc cupy all their attention. It seems that the Russian Ca binet is apprehensive of many difficulties in the execution of various points respecting Greece, agreed upon at Lon don and Adrianople, and thinks its interest will he affected unless the greatest precaution is used in the foundation of the Greek State. But it also appears that Russia takes the interest of the Greek nation much to heart,- and will have it placed in a situation which shall give no reason to fear its falling again under the yoke now thrown off, but shall promise a rapid advance of civilization. The French Court is thereby placed in a difficult situation ; it partici pates in the wishes of Russia for the future prosperity of Greece, but would not willingly oppose the English Ca binet, and therefore proceeds with much caution. The negociations at LOndon will therefore soon claim undi vided attention. CRACOW, (►CT. 13.—According to several letters from the interior of Russia, the military preparations are con tinued with as much activity as if peace hail net been con cluded. Hence it is inferred that many difficult points will have to he arranged before a firm and durable peace can be said to he attained ; and that the Russian Govern ment is resolved to be prepared against every contingency. We also learn that the equipment of ships is continued with great activity in the ports of the Baltic and the Euxine. Whether these accounts indicate any great po litical plan of the Russian Cabinet, or are the result of former orders not yet revoked, or merely measures of precaution rendered advisable by circumstances, time will show. By remitting the amount of twelve millions of rubles in Bank notes of the military con tribution imposed on Persia, and by extending the time agreed upon for the payment, the Russian Emperor has given another proof of the moderation with which he takes advantage of .tlie success of his arms and treats a conquered enemy ;—it is known too that in victory he al ways offered peace, which he sincerely desires for the good of humanity. But, with the sincerest love of peace, the constant maintenance of a formidable military force must secure the advantages of the peace which have been gained. In Warsaw it is still hoped that the Emperor will come and open the D;et in person, though the season is so far advanced that it may be reasonably doubted. VIENNA, OCT. 19.—A Russian Courier has passed through here, on his way from St. Petersburgh to Naples. A Prussian Courier has lately been dispatched to Berlin, and an Austrian to Constantinople. It is said that the loan of 25 millions has been contracted for at t 35 per cent. with houses in the city. TRIESTE, OCT. 18.—The damage done by the late inundations is not so great as was at first thought. The magazines of colonial produce have chiefly suffered. The commerce with the Levant and Egypt revives, and many' consignments are made to Smyrna and Alexandria. A ship with cotton arrived from the latter port two days ago, by which we learn that Boghos Jussuf, the Pacha's Minister, whose brother has established a great house here, is by no means removed from public business, but still enjoys the whole confidence of the Pacha. It is also confirmed that the armaments by land and sea are actively prosecuted in Egypt, and th it every body believed Mehemet Ali would soon declare himself independent. VIENNA, OCT. 20.—iletall.ques 1031; Bank Shares, 1243.—Allyemeine Zeitung, Oct. 25. The Austrian Observer of the 20th contains the Ma nifesto of the Emperor of Russia, and that of the 21 st the Treaty of Peace, already published in other journal., but no additional information. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 13.—A journal says, under the head St. Peteisburgh, that Prince ChoMrew's mission has pro cured for his grandfather, the Scholl, a reduction in the mili tary contribution. A fifth part of the whole still remained to be paid, of which the Emperor is said to have transmitted one half, and to have granted five years delay for the pay ment of the other half. On enquiry the Count Bjorn stierna did not state that treaties of commerce with Mexico and Colombia bad been actually concluded in London, but that he had commenced negociations for that purpose with the Ministers of these Powers, which were interrupted by his deputure from London. Whatever trade may be declining, that of li tigation is not. The number of writs taken out this va cation, preparatory to the ensuing Term, is 11,000 more than were issued previously to the preceding Term, and 6,000 more than were taken out during the corresponding period of last year. , LAW tiquaLiatxtt. COURT OF CHANCERY.—Nov. 2. IN RE COTTON.-MALICIOUS CONDUCT. Mr. Kwicwr held in his hand a petition in this matter, which was one of bankruptcy, notice of which had been served, but which had not been answered ; therefore he was enable regularly to ask hr an order upon it. It re ferred to the trial of an action, which stool for Wednes day next, for maliciously issuing the commissinn that had since been superseded, and was for an order directing the delivering up to the Secretary, in his Lordship's Bankrupt office, the Commission, and proceedings thereon, on affi davit, that they might be produced at the trial. There were precedents which would show this application to be quite of course, and consequently the extent of the pre sent application was, that the petition might be imme diately answered, so that the petition might be heard to morrow.—Granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 2. FROND AND ANOTHER V. STILLARD. This was an action for an attorney's bill. It was suggested that the plaintiffs could not recover, be cause the bill delivered was not written in words at length. The Statute of 2 Geo. 11., c. 23, required that attornies bills should be written in words at length, except times and sums. A subsequent Sta tute allowed " such abbreviations as were commonly used in the English language." The abbreviations objected in the present case, were " Instrons" (in structions) ; " attg" (attending) ; " afft" (affida vit) ; " confce" (conference) ; " adoion" (adminis- tration); " declon" (declaration); " Ffo" (folio) ; " co" (copy.) Ihe ATTORNEY.GENERAL thought it was suffi cient if the items were written in such words as were intelligible to professional men. Lord TENTERDEN was of the same opinion. Verdict for the plaintiff for 99/. 141. 4d., the amount of the bill. WILSON V. COPELAND, ESQ. AND ANOTHER. This was an action against the late Sheriffs of Middlesex, to recover the value of certain house hold furniture, seized by them under two several executions against the effects of Lord Montford. The plaintiff, an upholsterer, residing in Wig more-street, in 1827, supplied a Mrs. Ana Bromley with household furniture, &c., at a house occupied by her at No. 42, York-street, Portman-square. She continued to reside there until February last, when she employed the plaintiff to dispose of the house, and made a transfer of the furniture to him, for the purpose of selling it, and paying the balance of his bill, and the bills of two other persons to whom she was indebted. Soon afterwards two exe cutions against Lord Montford, at the suit of cre ditors of his, were put in, and the goods were seized and sold by the sheriffs. The defence was, that the goods belonged to Lord Montford, and not to Mrs. Bromley. To sustain this the following witnesses were called. Thomas Chester—l am a waiter at Hatchett's hotel, Piccadilly. In 1818 and 1819, a young woman named Ann Howell was there in the capacity of chambermaid. Soon after she left she took the name of Blake, and afterwards that of Bromley. I met her and Lord Montford arm in arm once in Piccadilly, and once in Manchester-street. Lord Montford invited me to come and see her. She was under•chambermaid at Hatchett's. Her wages were 8/. a year. She did not remain long at the hotel. She left in December, 1819. She went away one morning at six o'clock. Lord Montford sent her an invitation by letter. His Lordship had been living several months in the house. He slept there the night before she left. Cross-examined—She was a very pretty little woman. A person from a china-warehouse in Bond-street stated, that in 1823 and 1824 Lord Montford pur chased a breakfast, dinner, and desert service. They were sent to Manchester-street, Manchester-square, where his Lordship then resided.. They had not been paid for. Henry Lamb—l am clerk of Mr. Jones, a house agent, in Wignsore-street. Last !year Lord Mont ford applied to Mr. Jones to let the house No. 42, York -street, for a year, or a shorter period. He told me that the house belonged to Mrs. Bromley, and I was to enter that name in the books. This was in February, 1828. I went to look at the fur niture. Mrs. Bromley was there. Cross examined—l considered that the goods were Lord Montford's, although he said they be. longed to Mrs. Bromley. John Morris, a collector of the parochial rates, at Midsummer, 1827, called at No. 42, York-street, for the rates then due. Lord Montfort), who was there, told witness that he•had just taken the huuse of Mr. Groves, and that he must first see him on the subject. Witness called several times after wards. Tl.e answer of the servant was, that his Lordship was out. Lord Montford was present when witness received the second half year's rates. The Jury found found for the defendants. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 2. FAG V. NORMAN. This action, the trial of which occupied the Court for nearly five hours, was brought by a female ser• vant against her former master, who is a baker, to recover an alleged balance of wages.—The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 101. GRIFFIN AND ANOTHER V. LLOYD. This was an action to recover the sum of 1001. 10s. for wines supplied by the plaintiffs to the defendant. The defence was, that the defendant, who is a tailor, had fur nished clothes to one of the plaintiffs to more than the amount ; this defence however failed in proof, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages 1001. 10s. OLD BAILEY, Nov. 2. Stephen Sandford and William Leslie were capi tally indicted, the former for a burglary with in tent to steal, in the house of Messrs. S'ultz and Co., tailors, and the latter for counselling the said Sandford to commit the same. John Rossiter examined—The prisoner Leslie is a tailor, and. had worked at Messrs. Stultz's during the last summer. Witness slept in the establish ment with Metzer on the night of the robbery. Be tween two and three o'clock in the morning they were aroused by a knocking at the door, resembling the noise of a hammer struck upon a chisel. Wit ness saw the body of a man intruding through the door, and called out, '" Who are you ?" When the person answered, " Silence, or shoot you." Witness replied, " I'll shoot you," and felt about for a blunderbuss. The man whom witness ad dressed' *is like the prisoner Sandford in height and size. Bannister, a watchman, hearing an alarm, came to the premises between two and three o'clock on the morning in question, and saw the prisoner Sand ford coming from the Mews, at the rear of Messrs. Stultz's. He was running at the time, and witness stopped him, saying he would not-let him go, upon which he (Sandford) snapped a pistol at him (wit ness.) It missed fire, and Sandford then knocked him down and ran away. He was subsequently taken into custotr in Great Marlborough-street.— The witness then proceeded to state, that at half past I I o'clock on the same night he was accosted by the prisoner Leslie, who said he was a tailor, in the employ of Messrs. Stultz. He offered to treat him, but witness observed that it was too late to procure drink. The prisoner then went away, and returned again a little before two o'clock. James Barrow, a waiter at Stevens's Hotel, saw Sandford running away, pursued by the last wit ness. When taken to the watch-house, the prisoner swore at witness, and said, that if it had not been for him he should riot have been taken. John Rossiter examined—l was locked up in a call opposite to that in which the prisoners were confined, and beard Leslie call out to Sandford, who replied " Hallo !" Leslie said, " What a fool you were to send me that letter." Sandford then called out, " Leslie, I have just seen my wire, and s he tells me that we are to b e reman d e d f o r a week," to which Leslie replied, " with a bad expression, tr but how is' that P' 4 Sandford replied, " Because there has been another robbery in Clif ford-street." Leslie replied, " What, has there been another robbery ?" and Sandford replied, " Welcome, I wish there had been a dozen." The same voice added, " I understand that old Edge has sworn to the pistol," to which Leslie answered, " Has he ? I thought it was not his but Dicky's." The conversation then stopped suddenly, and Leslie called out " A plant ! a plant I" Sandford then said, " Have you said any thing." Leslie replied, " No, not here." Cross-examined—Witness wrote down the con versation as soon as lie came out of the cell, and gave it to the solicitor for the prosecution. The Jury found Sandford guilty of the burglary, and Leslie with being an accessory before tke fact. Sandford was then put upon his trial, upon an in dictment framed under Lord Ellenborough s act, for shooting at Bannister, the watchman, with intent to murder or do him some grievous bodily harm. The Jury found the prisoner guilty upon this in dictment also, and Mr. Baron GAItROW made a most solemn and im pressive address to the prisoner, telling him that, having been found guilty of two such heinous of fences, there was no ground whatever fur supposing that mercy would be extended to him. John Allen was capitally indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Ann Andrews, the sum Af 6251., the property of Vincent Stuckey and Co., bankers of Taunton. Mr. Wm. Newton examined—l remember hav ing taken charge of two parcels of bank -notes, one directed to Roberts and Co., London, and the other to Bristol, on Saturday evening, the 10th of Oct. I went by coach to Bristol, arid went to Stuckey's house there. I saw the porter, who ripped open my coat and took out the parcel directed to Bristol. I felt that the London parcel was safely sewed up in my coat, and started for London soon after. I arrired in town at nine o'clock in the evening, and took my luggage to Mrs. Andrews's, Ironmonger lane, at whose house I had been used to lodge when I had occasion to stop in town. I took some re freshment in Mrs. Andrews's kitchen, and desired my luggage to be brought to my bed-room. The parcel at that time was safe. I know the prisoner at the bar, he came into the room and asked me how I was. I went to bed about ten, or soon after. There was no key in the door, but a slight fastening which I found broken in the morning. When I awoke at balf-past six in the morning, I found my coat lying near the foot of the bed. Upon examin ing it, I found that the pocket had been ripped open. The parcel was reduced in size, and it ap peared to me that part of it was gone. I also missed three sovereigns from my trousers. Ann Andrews examined—l am a married woman, and have kept a lodging-house for seventeen years in Ironmonger-lane. Mr. Newton has been in the habit of lodging with me for these seven years past. Allen has lodged with me on arid off also. I re member Mr. Newton's coming to my house on the evening of the 10th of October. The prisoner Allen slept in the room next to Mr. Newton. He went to bed after him. No other person slept upon the same floor that night. Allen came down stairs at a little after seven o'clock the next morning. The robbery was talked of, and he requested to leave the house for five minutes. I requested that no person might leave the house until a proper search was made. He did leave the house, and was away for an hour. Charles Thorogood—l am a city police-officer. By directions of Mr. Cope, I was ordered to watch the prisoner, and saw him coming out of Mrs. An drews's house in Ironmonger-lane, with a portman teau in his hand. He took a boat, and went on board a steam-vessel bound to Gravesend. I went on board the same steamer, and we both landed at Gravesend. The prisoner got upon the Chatham coach, and I got upon it also. The prisoner went into the Sun Tavern, and stayed there from Thurs day to the following Tuesday. He went to Graves end on the Monday. He left Chatham for London on Tuesday, and 1 went by the same coach, I saw his portmanteau put into the boot of the coach. I was watching him all the time. When we stopped at Rochester to change horses I got off the coach, and called for a small glass of brandy, Allen remain ed on the coach. He dropped a paper which I picked up, and the prisoner said " Bless me, is that paper mine?" He then pulled out a roll of notes aid said, " Oh, its all right." I saw that the notes were country notes. The prisoner got out at the Kent-road, and carried his portmanteau to the house of Mrs. Morton. I kept watch there the whole of the night. The next morning, about eight o'clock, I saw him come out of the house with a young man. I followed them to Cornhill, and For rester, the officer, came to me, and we took the pri soner into custody. Brown, eltrk to Stuckey's bank, was asked whe ther the notes found in the prisoner's portmanteau were the same that were entered in the book at the banking-house at Taunton as having been forwaided to the bank of Messrs. Robatts and Co. ? The witness replied, that the numbers of some of the notes (those found in the pocket of the prisoner) did not agree, but he believed that the remainder were the same notes that had been packed up and forwarded to London by Mr. Newton. The witness added, that he had no doubt but that the notes now produced were the same so forwarded. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was immediately called up for judgment, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. The trial lasted from five in the evening until past ten o'clock. On Monday last was instituted, by the Bishop of EXETER, the Rev.' GEORGE Tottsisorr, M.A. to the Rectory of Ashreigny, in Devon, on his own petition as true patron, void by the dt•ath of Joi( Tossam.

The founderies for making fire-grates are at present very brisk; and this demand originates more from the orders for families, who are to reside in town, than for any export orders. The fitting up of the new patent gas tin pipes has also been favourable to the founder. The English plan is improved upon, and they are beat hollow in the invention, three times the quantity being made by this Scottish patentee in the same time; and besides the superior and more datable construction of the article, it is furnished to the shopkeeper at a much cheaper rate.— Glasgow Chronicle, Friday. The leather trade, which was considerably de pressed in summer, is now much revived, and a great quantity of business is doing by the curriers. The Rus sian Kip hides fell in April, from excessive importation, 2d. a lb. ; but, owing to the increased demand for upper and sole leather, prices this week of Russian hides have advanced one halfpenny a lb. We are happy to learn that the tanners of Leith (so famous for the making of fine Bend) are fully employed with orders which are to be executed in rotation from different parts of the coun try; and the extensive tan-yards in Edinburgh are also evincing more activity.— Glasgow Chronicle of Friday. HAPPY MEETING. —A respectable woman who resides in this city, has a family of four sons, who were parted Fo far back as 1812, and never since assembled together until a few days ago, when chance brought them all once again under the family roof. The first enlisted in 1812, the second in 1816, the third in 1819, and the fourth in 1822: and mast of them have since visited the four quarters of the globe. Only one now remains in the army, and happening to visit his mother on furlow, at the very moment when another son had just arrived from London, the whole family, after being long scattered abroad on the face of the whole earth, sat down once more, as it were, under the shadow of their mother's wing. —Scotsman.
