Tirtis,perst - in led him over the bridge, along Bridge street, tip to Ludgate-hill; and :yound St. Paul's Chinek-yard, guidingzhim•all the way, and final , ly : conducted him to a street near the Curtain road. 'He saw him knock at the door of a house infiie-street, and go in. Ilie , -.backed his, cart to, that door,:the man helped him to unload, and paid him seven shillings. It was , the same man who. .had guided him from' Blackfriars-road. The wit ness thought the prisoner Cooper very like that -man in bulk and shape, but could not 'swear to •him, as he had not seen his face. For when the arson paid the witness, he was fixing the tail-board of his cart. ' The stranger came from the house with a quick step, put the money in his hand from behind, and went in again directly. Alexander ,Gibbs, silk manufacturer, residing I`. - 10. 21,. Cuntberland-street, near the -Curtain road,'Shorediteh, knew the prisoner Cooper, .and on his proposal had bought from him at two dif ferent times 6261b5. of Valencia silk, at the rate of three and twentv shillings the pound, ready Money, which he paid him at different titne6. Sprigs, he' proved, had brought aid first parcel on the 10th of July. The silk he got from Cooper he sold to Green, No. 1., • Worship-square, for six amt twenty shillings and,sixpence per pound. • Mr. Theophilus Pereival . ,,lnoprietor of silk mills at Briton, .in . Somersetshire, had received from Mr. Green 6021b5. of silk to be thrOwni it came in different invoices. He recollected Mr. Hotch son coming down to Bruton, and produced to him, in ,consequence of his ,application, that part of the sills which had not been thrown; Witness, on examining- the silk, found that some of 'the skeins had been cut as if with a razor. In Con sequence:- Of 4,,u order from the Thames Pollee oirice,lielad sent the remainder of the unthrOwn, silk-to London in sealed bags., .'Mr. John Catty, belonging to the Thames Po lice-nilice, proved •that the silk sent by Mr. Pei.- eir-al hall remained in his- Cutody ever since. He lea apprehended Ivey and Cooper, . While in the Thames Police office,- C_ooper-bad directed him to Ilorndon . on the Hill, in Essex-, and sent his wife' with hint, when :he received about 5001hs. -of silk, - which Was delivered to him in a cart by Cooper's wife. The silk being produced, was declared by 2Nlrt Percival to be , exactly- similar - tO:-thathe had receiyel from Greets',' . altd:: to the part' fOu'nd •in -Nciirman's'stable. H ere 11.1 r.

Ilaron,Thomrso c aqswered, that he was very sorry for the trouble they were put to, hut it was a part of the duty they owed to their King and country. It was not without precedent ; and he recollected a trial in that Court which had lasted nine days.

Pursuant to a requisition signed and published by the High Sheriff of this County, a very nutar ous and most respectable Meeting was holden at the Town Hall, on Saturday last, for the purpose of taking, into .consideration the expediency of presenting a Petitiois to Parliament; upon its ap proaching Session, .against the concession of the Roman Catholic -Claims. After the business of the day had been announced, an d Opened in a con cise and elegant manner by the 'Sheila; 'COKER, Esq. rose, and addressed the' Assemblage in a very able and energetic speech; of which the following is the. substance.: " Gentlemen—The important question upon which we are this day assembled to deliberate has been so frequently and so . fully discussed befo - ee the Freeholders of this County, that I shall imot' think it necessary;;npon the present' occasion, to trepass On your time by many observations. The proceedings, however, which took place dimring the.laBt Session of Parliament relative to this sub ject, render it a matter Of indispensable necessity to everyman, 'Who wishes well to the stability of the State, and: the, security of our Prote - stant Esta blishment in -partl(-alar, to resist, so far as lies in his power, those perilous and. unconstitutionalen ctoacinnents which the Catholics :are labouring to effect with such untiring : zeal and . such indefa tigablenerSeverance. The fall emancipation which they contend for would go to ,violate and repeal' the Act of Union between'Scotla ad an d E ng l an d , and in a great measure also' the Act of Uiiion be tween Ireland and Great Britain: In the -Act of Union between-England and Scotp.'..ad i e it Was 'de dared, that the Acts of Uniformity of Elizabeth and Charles should he fundanmental. - By the Union between England and Ireland the, Same Cherch Establishment was guaranteed to both countries. iroi these Acts w(7e , repealed. what would become of the Constitution ? If these.pillars or support were.taken away, the battlements of the Cliiirch Might be shals.en down into one wide -and hopeles . s. ruin, and, theholy rest of her martyrs disquieted amigo e for ever. t:entlenien, there is a broad 'distinction tween .clainms of proteetionand el,tinms of power. The Roman',Qatholi s have <tt present all ti ,eieli . - bertieAs as epiripicte as any peoplebn earth,' ancitheY have the. same securities far their property:as the wrest of their fellow .subjeets - . They might too have a seat in Purliathent,,if they would only t,ake.those Oaths, which every . oth er p erson t o dk a,nd, uotil, they accede to this tes:„ , their claims can - never be: granted,, excepting at the expense Of the Protesi4nt :ascendancy, I ever have and . :ever shall be ready to maintain that there is a 8U :1)re/the right• in the State to . settle the qualifica jions, for d e vil power. Civil authority may, by carry its resteictions and exclusions to blamable excess.;--it may be.actuated by' an amagetierous suspicion or vindictive hostility ; but that to compass, as he can, his elevation to power is the :right of every.individual, and that it is in 7 tolerance, to impose conditions or qualifying tests on such a person—this, I must confess, appears to me to he a principle at .variance with the very de €initi©n and hypothesis of civil government. Time - es_isteaCe of this' right ,is necessary to the exist ence of the State; and the exercise of the right, in any particular case, is a question of political prudence and expediency. Gentlemen, the-most apprehensiOns force :themselves upon my mind in prospectively contemplating the danger ous _anomaly . of a Protestant. Head of our Govern went with Popish Counsellors, and a Chancellor acknowledging the domination and simprenmacy of a foreign potenttite, dispensing the preferments . of , .the Protestalmt Church, and influence by principles_ iuii►Ticat to our Protestant Vaith. If rt be desire able to IrayeaProteStant Chief, it is, unpaUbtedlY, equally desirable that his Ministers, and all those by whom his Throne is snrrOunded and protected, should be equally, and decidedly Peotestants."— After urging a variety of other considerations with his aceustomed force and ability, Mr. Coker coif 7: chided by moVing, that, .cation the meeting of time , nex(Parliar-,_ient; " a Petition be:pr esen t e d, pray:: ii that the Claiins of the - Roman Catholics be not granted:' Mr.. ASMIRST then rose and said—" Gentle men, concurring, as I dt:, with every argument so ably and so loyally addressed to you by Mr. Coker, I beg_ leave to second his motion, being well con vinced that it has for its object time stability of those principles established at the Revolution, and which subsequent events have taught us to regard as the best safeguards of our constitutional rights, , and the securest pillar of defence to tire - ,ApoStoli 7 cal Church of England " Mr. C.

TO VIE" EDITOIt `6V Srn, - A letter, dated ."" Derby, Oct. 10, 1812," signed ," .Veax," - was.: pubtished ire your journed of the purporting to give a correct state- Anent or a meeting latelyheld in this to*n, << To take into consideration the propriety of present his Royal Highness the Prince• ltegent and the two HoUsessof Parlitiitient,'Pray ingthat sortie, effbrt imv be made for the restora ition oithe •bleSsing of peace" - -You will be nsurprised to hear, Mr..'Ettitoe, that this letter, although. intemkd to cOntradiet the . staterrient given-in the boll Mercury of the proceedings at 'that meeting, -and to animadvert upon the parties and their views and Coudtict, who weir princi pally instrumental in calling the Meeting, silouid not have been inserted in the Derl,,y iile.ecnry, as, 'surely, 'the inhabitants of this town are the - best to judge which statement is most entitleci to 'credit. We, who are appointed a - Committee to .carry into effect the resolutions - of the' meeting, haVei, in 'the Derby _Mercury of this week, done . Verax the favour of pubti,:hing his. letter, anti witlit lvhat, we, trust, ir;11 be considered 'a-eery fal,;,, correct, and satisfactory answer: Br i t as paper has but a !coal ciecula'tion; and Veraxlez-, by his coremunic4tion to you, made a most un- Warrantable attempt to impose on you, and,through your widely circulated -Paper, on the public at larg - e; we hope the candour and impartiidity do e'. from a, public journalist will, utider'such circum stances, induce you to insert the folloiving state ment in one of. your early columns,: we pledge ourselves for its accuracy., Verak introduCes his letter. by referring to* a. meeting- lately held at LoughbOrough, the okfeet of which has been so' re'reaterily stated, that it is not necessary now to dwell upon it. It was,. as it professed to be-, " A Meeting 'of .Friends Of Peace, assembled frOm the Counties - of Derby', Leicester, 'iand Nottingham."' Why' Verax, calls it a mingled 'Meeting_ we know not ; there Was nothing in its intention which has not been ''re peatedly stated by public advertisement, nor of which those who promoted' it had any reason , to be ashamed. .That your: Correspondent should know nothing of that meeting previously can be' - nO matter of surprise ; he is as little a.friend to peace aSlie is a .lover of . tenth. For his better information, however, we take the liberty of Stating t o him, that the meeting was numerous and respectable that it consisted of not l ess th an SOO persons ; that of these - only .13 attended from Deity; that Major Cartwtight's presence was not expected by any of the persons who had been instrutnental in calling the meeting 5 that being on a visit in the neighbourhood, he attended Merely to suegest the propriety ,of_combining :with the petition for peace, a petition for reform; that his proposal was over-ruled as foreign to the business of the day ; and lastly, that Mr. Whit bread had not .been consulted on the subject of the meeting, nor knew any thing of its being in _con templation till after it had been called. Verax identifies the promoters of the Loughbo rough meeting and the one held atDerby,Which is subsequently the object of his misrepresentafion but he it here also in error. Of the 15, who pre sented a petition to Mayor of Derby, praying him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants, five only were present at Loughborough. The requisi? tionists did indeed hope that the meeting here Would - be convened by the sanction of - the consti tuted authority; the Mayor.; and it would have been deemed disrespectful to his Worship not to have offered to aim the honour of appoint ing it, and of presiding at it. They little ex ? pected that such a request, for such a purpose," could meet with opposition. The counter rea,u4ition referred to by Verax (if in deed such a tiring existed at all, for it was never ,made public) was certainly not presented till after the Mayor had refused to call the proposed meeting, . That the May - or acted thuS ; with the unani? Mous concurrence of , the Magistratet; of the Bo,r• rough," is a statement equally erroneous.' We have authority to say; that. the Mayor's refusal to call a naeeting was not with - the unanirnon concur rence of the other Magistrates. In justice to Ve rax, however, we ,must state-, that he bad the au thority of the r.Nfayor's reply to the requisitionists' for this assertion ; and we leave it to-this gentle :, man to Justify , his conduct w this instance - -to his • brother Magistrates. states:; that of the fifteeninhaliitants who :signed the . requisition " respectable in point of situation, "-but, as he would ungenerouly have it inferred, not so in other respects, several 'with drew their names,and afterwards, on the Mayor's' refusal to comply with their request, -declined to take part - in calling the meeting. Certainly, two of the requisitionists. did not sign the subse quent. notice, hut :no t. tram any hostility to the measure,_ "and one hag Since signed the. petition. Of the number comOosing the -Der by 'Neetits it is not easy to spe:ik With accuracy. It. Was far too great to be counted. The ground :st __:ch it mccupied was, however, measured; an , d, on- the. most moderate computation, it must have exceed ed .the number mentioned bt.= Vei:ax, six 'times told. Without insisting upon precise enumera tion, it may, perhaps,-be intire agreeable to Veras to be reminded, that it fullY justified xhe :state ment 'made in. the :Derby Mercury " tikt it will long,be reinembere&as a tint expression *of popu , : lar feeling, on one of the most important subjects , which can interest otlr fenow-citizens:" • From the insidious :Way in which this •.'con ieniptible scribbler has introduced the, name of Dr; Forester, for the mere purpose of connecting him in' relationship. and politics with the " pride of 'Westminster," and also the manes of Major Cartwright and Mr. Whithrtad As well as from his sneers at the • " Derby patriots," and the *hole tenor and tendency of his letter, it is very 'evident that he would wish this opinion to prevail; that, a friend, to peace is an enemy: to-his country Dr. ..Forester is well known here in many rela tions which render him highly and justly respect;- ed by his fellow-townsmen, and-where be 1s known he is not likely to.suffer froth the nialignity, , of Vcnix His political opinions; differ from those et: thus anonymous calumniator .nOtmOre than his ugh sense of hotiottr anti :ref:jar:l for it'll& these Verax and Pr'.
