Petition, the Norwich .Mercury thus announct.s the stein, whir4-I,44a.kiti t t in op position to it : I" The reeds strength of the County—the sound majority, and .a great majority it willbe found to be —are, however, taking immediate steps towards reversing this triumph of, fraud, pudence; and folly, obtained in the name of the county...... Hundred Meetings are calling, to " disclaim all participa tion in the proceedings of 'Friday, the 3,1 inst., and to protest against the unjust, fraudulent, and revolutionary doetrines," contained in . Cobbett's petition. Let not the great proprie tors, nor any others, imagine that they can escape under the evasion that they were not present. 'fatly set- of min usurp their places anti snake use of their names for infetnous ends, they assent to those ends so long a they permit' such else of their authority. In ease indeed they because accessories both before and after the fact—.accelsories they are to all intent and purposes, every man of them from the Duke of Nor folk to the occupant of half a dozen acres.--Either the ruin under' which agriculturists groan is false, or the . complaints of the sinking tenantry, not only as a matter of honour and humanity, have a title to, the most earnest attention from the proprietors of the soil, but as u. - mater of policy, these most useful of all' men ought to have been listened to and supported by the presence and assisted by th e counse l of their landhold ers . Both are' embarked in one vessel, and They sink or swim together. Gentlemen must now see what they gain by delivering their tenants over to the guid ance of such politicians as Cobbett. Indeed we have -the au thority of Noblemen and Gentlemen of the highest respecta bility for saying they regret ereceedinqly they were nut present ~ to have assisted in reversing this pro,:eeding, which covers the county with infamy so long as it remains uncontradiettd." . EXTRAORDINARY TRICK. MANstos-Housx.—lt will be recollected, tha t a fellow named Thomas Atkinson was some time ago comMit ted to Newgate from the Justice-R oom , f or trial, upon the charge of having robbed a yoitng man named Mitchell,• to whom he was indebted for support on a long journey.' The prisoner had not only stolen .Mitchellix watch on the road, but driven up to London and stolen the poo r l a d' s t r unk and clothes at the inn to which he knew they were directed. Mr. nobler, the Chief Clerk at th e Justice.room; was some what surprised- at realving through the Pot -office a " 're turned" letter to which his nine was signed. It was directed to " Mr. Robert Allen slitchell (the prosecutor in the abOve case), near Liskearcl, at Mrs. Si. Atiit, near St. Ives, Cornwall." The clerk at the Post-office' Wrote " not found". upon it; and Mr. nobler, for the best tbrie, read' 'the following words • " 20th Nov. 1822. " Siit—l am requested to itifurm yaa, that on account of the prisoner, Thomas Atkinson, nut being able tolrring his friends forward time of trial, it is consicleied unnecessary for you to attend at the present Sessions as the prisoner h as traversed his trial until the next S ess i ons . 'Proper notice will be riven you when to atten4.—l am your humble servant, Clerk at law. 411 , I , Jowls Tiattvert." It has been often matter of surprise that so many *prisoners ate sessionally discharged by Proclamation, the prosecutors not appearing against them. Perhaps -the forgery just specified will in some Itieasure explain the cause. It may be answered, that if this was an establish e d practice; the peti t i ons whiCh would undoubtedly be sent in upon the process of estreatink the _CPichiziineet of those who failed to appear, would have Tong •4ince exposed it ; but we apprehend that, except in eases of ttgrrava tion, the parties are not pursued to the extremity, and that con sequently this trick has hitherto escaped Observation. The Loan ,31,avon said he feared the Course of justice was often impeded by the practice just exposed, and he Itaped that :sill prosecutors would rega r d wit h g reat suspi c i on any applica don or direetions affecting thaw whom they were bound to appear against: The influence of such a forgery upon the lower orders would in many cases be effected in bringtug about acquitt4l B ; Luckily the prosecutor was in LOndon upon the letter'reach ing Cornwall. )fr. danot receive it until the fellOw it was intended to bent was on his way tc.

IL) Yesterday a Aleeting"Of the Subscribers to.the above Society wa... 'held in the King's Arms, Wrr.m.tat BROWN, EsT. in the. Chair. The busi ness was opened by the reading of the following Report of the proceedings of the Committee " REPORT OF THE ORIGINAL FRIENDS Or THE MARINE ittrmaar SOCIETY TO THE SUBSCRIBERS, IN GENERAL MEETING ASSEM/MED, AT THE KING'S ARDIS, IN LI VERI'OOL, ON TUESDAY; JA.N. 14, 1823. t " The Gentlemen who originally advocated the interests of this Society have great pleasure in appearing before a, General Meeting of the Subscribers, and in offering this public state ment of the progress they ,have made, of the obitacles they have eucountered, and of the expecutions which may be indulged with regard to the ultimate success of their exertions. " It is, no doubt, well known, that the peculiar merit of the fishermen who saved the crew of the brig Abbey was the first subject of consideratiON and thatee particular circumstances of humanity under which the preservation of those unfortunate men was - efrected, induced the promoters of this Society to ex press their own approbation of Such exertions in the wa y t h at appeared the most likely t o be acceptable, •that of conferring a suitable pecuniary reward, " In.the-performance of this voluntary task, it was natural that they should foresee the advantages which must resultfrom the establishment of . a permanent fund that might secure the judicious appropriatiOis. of similar rewards. " For, although, anionst _the boatmen of Liverpool, an active spirit of humanity may sometimes be found to influence their conduct, it must still be acknowledged, that the stern- nest of' their habits cannot dispose them to make those gene rouri and disinterested sacrifies which might reasonably be looked for from persons of more lenient and favoured occupations. Indeed, it may, perhaps, with truth be stated, that humanity is 'a virtue whichthey cannot, in general, afford to practise. 'l' he oxtraordinary risk they must always incur in rescuing drown ing persons ; the great danger of approaching any vessels in distress', the hazard of losing their boats, the consequent loss of the only means they have of earning their daily bread, and all the multiplied bereavements to which their families will be exposed, are considerations too serious and too dear to them to be disregarded, even when they may be stimulated by the prospect of reward. But when their best and most .successful efforts are certain to be unrequited, except by the fruitless praises of spectators, or the unprofitable commendations of a newspaper, it cannot, surely, be wondered at if they ehould attend to the - suggestions of interest, and cling to the little Property they possess, the only source and security of their do mestic comforts. " Impressed with these acts, and reflecting on the peculiar local dangers of the port ? so much frequented and so difficult of access, and remembering several recent occasions that have supplied the most melancholy and distressing illustrations of the foregoing remarks, the promoters of this society undertook to make an appeal to the merchants and inhabitants of Liver: pool, as well by means of the public press as by circular, en forcing the necessity and great value of such an ussociktion, and soliciting assistance in flirtherance of its objects. They are happy to state, thatthe subscription hooks represent a sum of 741. Gs. of. annual contributions, besides donations to the amount of 34/. 16*. fid. : and they confidently anticipate, that, when a Committee shall have been formed. and a proper con sistency given to the society, whereby t he pu bli c at l arge may be furnished with a guarantee for the proper application of the funds, ,the subscriptions will receive so material an enhance ment as to place the character of the Marine Humane Society on a footing with the best and noblest institutions of the town. " In the course of those personal exertions which are neces sary in originating such a society, it was accidentally discover ed, that, in the year 1311, and Act Of Parliament was obtained by the Conintissioners of the Docks, whereby they were em powered to enact by-laws and to impose fines, for the purpose of regulating the shipping of the port ; and it appears by the same Act, that two-thirds of the amount of such tines were i.e. dered to be invested in trustees, • to be by them implied, from time to time, in such a manner as they may think fit, in re warding any person or persons who may waist in the prteterva lion of the lives of the crew of any ship or vend wrecked in the said port, (Liverpool,) or the coasts a.ljacent thereto; or in the preservation of any ship or cargos or in the preserving, or endeavouring to preserve, the life of any person from being drowned in the said river Mersey, or any of the said docks or basins ; or in the relief of any of the ?dee, disabled, worn-out, superannuated men, in the service of the said docks ; or the widows and families of such of them as may have been killed in such service.' • pe• " The friendsof this society having, by accident, ascertained, as befory Rated, that such an Act of -Parliament .had been granted, and knowin g that, tinder the powers se given, the tines on shippin g tire still levied, were reasonably led to eon elude that a contiderable accumulation of the said fines must remain unappropriated. And it appears to them, that the ob jects they had in view would be more tit:Totally promoted by attetnptine to give publicity to this fact, and's° to render the fund available, for the purposes enumerated in the Act of Par liament. It was also natural for them to perceive, that so long as there was an impreision on the public mind that there ex isted a fund that had been virtually, if not in specific terms, appointed by the legislature for the same objects as the public were now called upon to support, it would he vain and useless t t a h r a i,i t ctoliztiboubjtjeanctss s o l f un in tl d d h r i esti tti ve s. any material aid front t hl he ex vo Pe lt c us t " They, t curare, deemed it their duty to solicit, from the Secretary of the Dock Committee, sable explanation with regard to the amount of the funds, and the probable dieposition of the Committee t o concur w i th this Society. For this pure pose they waited on Mr. Foster, the Secretary, by whom they were informed that much misapprehension had existed as to the amount of those funds, as the public was not aware of the extent of annuities with which they had been made chargeable; that there was, however, a moilerute surplus at the discretionary disposal of the trustees ; and that the claims of boatmen or others for remuneration, when sufficiently au thenticated, had always been allowed, anti would be more par_ ticularly attended to, if recommended by the Marine humane Society. " A certain extent, this statement must be very satisfac. tory. It is, in the first place, of importance that every parti culardemand Will not he required to be disbursed out of the 'immediate funs'.: of the society; said, in a practical point of view, it is of nuttrrial consequence that ever/ t , o4ttnan, who honestly deserves to be rewarded, may hive his claims fairly stated to the , DoCk Trustees, through the tnediutti of dint society. " It now only remains, that the active friends of the. society, having bud before the Meeting this imperfect sketch of their 'Firoceedings, should respectfully -entreat its approbation. A little perseverance in the same objects- fluty, perhapa, lead to -the most important public results. If, by. the vulgar inducts. meet of money, poor men are urged with alacrity into humane undertakings, they may, ultitnetely, leetti to pursue humanity for its own sake ; and, if the preservation of self is justly held to be the first principle of our nature, the desire of preserving our own epecies now surely be titteemed the first and noblest . sentiment of our hearts." 'When this document had been read, a short conversation took place between Admiral Altirrity and several other gentle men. A, series of Resolutions were then t,Rivi rt t to by the, Meeting. Admiral illurray kindly accepted the office of, President of the Society, and Williem grown, I.iq that of Treasurer. A Committee of twelve ficrulettien was 440 ap-. pointed. NWe . congratulate the town on the establishment of this So ciety. &soh an institution hos loan* been *anted in this pora-e, it cannot tua to be theiriStrUMerdof laving many of our f e ll ows creatures flOl3l an untimely grave. As, however, its obiels cannot be effected without holding out fer4/11: ey rewards to men who will r their own lives in the eraleavour to save thtle. of others, it is obvious thou tonsisierable funds will be u red for the purpose. We trust, therefore, that the Society will not be permitted to remain ineetive from the want of funds r. en the' contrary, we hope' that it will receive the pecuniary awl octivd support of tte merchants, the thip-awnere, and el the ,rth,teitanta generally. SIR WALTER RAWLEIGIL The character of this distinguished. Statesman, profound and elegant Historian, who fella, vict.ll4 to the policy of a worthless Court, stands so. de servedly high in the annals of this Country, that we feel pleasure iii extracting the following, acs count of his death, as stated by the industrious and intelligent pen of Mr. D'lsnacta " Rawleigh's cheerfulness was so remarkable, and his fear. hasness of death so marked, that the Dean of WeSteninster, who attended him, at first wondering at the hero, reprehended the lightness of his manner : but Itawleigh gave fled thanks that he had never feared death, for it was but an opinion and an imagination and as for the manner of death, he had rather die so than of a burning fever; and that ante might have . r ade shows outwardly, b ut h e f e l t t h e . joy within. Th e 'De a n says, that he trtae no more of his death than if he had been to-take ajourney:. Not,' said he, but that lam a great ,eiriner, for 1 have been a soldier, a seaman, and a courtier.' Vie writer of a manuscripl letter tells as, that the Dean declared he died not only religiously, but he found him to be a'man as ready and as able to give as to take instructjon. "On the morning of his de.atli'he smoked, as usital, his fa vourite tobacco, and when they brought him a cup of excellent sack, being asked how he liked it, Itawleigh answer d, "A s the fellow, that, drinking of St. Giles's bowl, as he went to Tyburn, said, that was good drink if a man might tarry by it.' " The day before, in passing from NVestininster.hall to the Gate-house, hie eye had caught Sir Hugh Deeston in the throng, and, calling on him, requested that' he would see him - die to-morrow. Sit Ilugh, to secure himself a seat on the scaffold, had 'providod himself with a letter to the Sheriff, which was not read at the time, and Sir Walter found his friend thrill't by, lamenting that he could not get there. Farewell I' exclainied I know not what shift you will make, but I am sure to have a place.' In going from the prison to the scaffold, among others who were pressing hard to see him, one old man, Whose head was bald, came very forward, insomuch that Rawleigh noticed him, and :asked, 'whether he would have aught of hint The old man answered, Nothing but to see him, sod to pray to God for him.' Rayleigh rePlied, ' I thank -thee, .00d friend, and lam sorry I have no better thing to return thee for thy good Observing his bald bead, he continued, but take this night-cap, (which was a very rich wrought ene that he wore,) .for thott.ha.st more need of it now than " His dress ? as was usual with him,, was elegant, if not r i c h. Qldye describes it, but mentions, that ,‘ he had. a wrought night-cant under his hat,' which we have titi:igrarise posed of; his ruff-band, a black wrought velvet night-gewn over a hair-coloured satin doublet, and a black wrought waist., coat; black cut tatTety breeches, an ash.coloured silk stock :- -- • ings. " He l ascended the scaffold with the same cheerfulness hehad passed to it; and observing the Lords seated at adietance, so ne atwindows, he requested they would approach hint, as be wished what ho bad to say they should all witness. This request was complied with by several. His' speech is well known : but some copies contain matters not in others. When he finished, he requested Lord Arundel that the King would not suffer aby libels to defame him after death- 4 And now I have a I , mg journey to go, and must take my leave. 'He oribraced all the Lords and other friends with such courtly compliments, as if he had met them at same (cut,' says s lett, , r.writer. /laving taken off his gown, he called to the headt , .man to show hint the axe. which not being instantly done, he repeated, " I pri. thee let m see it. Dost thou think that lam afraid of it',' He passed the edge lightly over his finger, and smiling, ob. served to the sheriff, • Tine is a sharp medicine, but a sot:est cure fur all diseases,' and kissing it, lain it down —Aeother writer has,' This is that, that will cure all son.ows.' . .After this lte went to the three several corners of the scaffold, end isnerling down, desired all the people to pray for him, and reeittda,long prayer to himself. , When he began to fit himself, for thr block, he' first laid himself down to try how the block fitted him ; after rising up, , theexecutioner kneeled down to ask histergiveness, which Rtswleigh with an embrace did, bat *rested him not to strike till he gave a token by lifting up his hand,-' and Mee fear not, but strike hi me 1' When' he laid his head down to receive the stroke, the executioner desired .him to lay his face towards the east. It was no great matter which way a man's head stood, so the heart lay right;' 'said Rewleigh ; but these were not MI last words. He was once more to speak in this world with the same intrepidityhe had lived in it.—for, /giving lain some minutes on the block in prayer, he gave the signal; but the executieder, either ureisindful, or in fear, failed to strike, and Rawleigh, after once or twice putting forth his bands, was compelled to ash him,' Why Most thou not strike ? Strike, Man !' In two blows he. was liehe;wded but from the drat, his body never shrunk from the spot; by any diseuniiosure of his posture, which, like his mind, WWI immoveable'. • ' In all the time he was upon the scaffold, and before,' says one of the manuscript letter-writers, ' there apPeared not the least alteration in him, either in his voice or countetiore ; but he seemed as free from all manner of apprehension if he been come thither rather as a spectator than a starer ; nay, the beholders seemed much more sensible than did he; 40 ttiattie ha* purchased here in the opinion of men such honour and re putation, as it Is thought his greatest enemies are 641 tat are most sorrowful kir hie death, which they See is like to turn so much to his advantage..' " The people were deeply affected at the sirld, and so flinch, that one said, that ' wt had not such another head to e.t.a elf ;) and another ' wished the head and brains to be upon Serrerary rslaunton's shoulders.' The observer suffered for .tarn he was a wealthy citi:reti„and great newstoonger, , and one w!eJ haunted Paul's 'Walk.. Complaint was made, rind the eitiy, n souttnoned to the Pr .
