LONDON JOUANALS. tXTBACTS FROM TUX DAILY MORNING rAFEItS, Apra 8, 1823. tMOR.NING POST.] lhat,the attempt of the French Government to 'overthrow the new born freedom of Spain, should excite the political jealousy and alarm of the French nation for the safety of whatever de- , gree of liberty and security it at present. enjoys. under the Charter, was the natural and necessary consequence of that iniquity. It must be con 7. stonily borne in mind, that the party in France which has most zealously urged the. Government into this unholy war, is composed, principally of. men' who, although they may not have the. bold ness to clothe their wishes . in Words, or even as yet to give them the'form of a distinct project, van, , scarcely be without very ardent wishes to re-enter as quitkly as,..possible upon .the enjoyment of those extensive domains,. and' those . feudal privileges, of which the revo6 lotion and their adherence to. the - banished family deprived them. The ancient Nobility and' the Chunk of France were stripped by the course of the Revolution of immense pos. , sessions, whiCh were successively sold to support the expences of the Revolutionary Government and by the original, as well as by subsequent sales anti divisions, these possessions,. being iu truth a very large proportion nithe whole lantitd property of France, are now owned by persons generally. of the middle class of society, and by su great a number as may, be said, without ex. aggeration, toleave not a single fondly in. the country . .belonging to this important and power fel class without a direct interest in the inviOlit bility of. the present tenure. [Tux Ttmesa The news from Paris is rather curious : some part out may provoke a smile—preceding intel ligence has been more calculated to call forth a groan. The first thing worthy of notice is a 4 pro. position presented by the Minister of War to the Chamber of Deputies / for forty thousand men of the class of 1823. A new loan, it is thought, will be as necessary as a new levy of moll- but here an inquiry springs up—who is the Minister of War ? and the solution of that question will bring with it the disclosure or a most ludicrous intrigue. Victor is, we believe, actually out of office; and l)ijeon, who was thought to be only a temporary substitute, is bona fide War Minister. It is a pity that the occurrence to which this change is ascribed did not take place on the Ist of April, it is so like ono of the pretty little fraudu lent incidents- of that day of foolery. It is said that Victor's colleagues had been for some time dreadfully tired of hips : he was thought to be more iotent on providing places for his fa mily and depsdepts, than zealous to accelerate the preparations for the war. When, therefore, the plot broke out in the army, the present danger and probable consequences were map • nified to him : he was induced , to believe that he• was the only man capable of arresting the mis chief, off he flies, at two o'clock in the morn ing (the Countil in which this movement of his was. determined on having separate( only at midnight),—his place in the Ministry is filled up immediately, being announced in the Moniteur six hours after his departure / ,and thus his re turn blocked up.' When arrived at the head quarters of the Duke of Angoulerne, his High ntss refuses 'to receive him : there is no place for him there. Like the dog in the river, he has 'matched at the shadow, and lost the substance.— Men have been removed from office before, ban gre, mat ; but no one was ever thus made to run away from what he, possessed, in order to snatch at that eget' he could not gain. Such, at least, is the story now current in the political circles of Paris:—The proclamation on entering Spain is expeeta to appear vary soon, but a frosts delay in the act is said , to have occurred from the in- adequacy of Victor's operations, and the neces sity of sup Plying his deficiencies. The French troops, however, it is still said, will move between the 10th and the 15th inst. Lord Fitzroy Somer set had arrived at Paris, anti would set forth im mediately fora rngland. Prince Hilt's order of the day on his arrival at the army has been published. It is somewhat in the Buonaparte style, and, it will be observed, countersigned by Guilleminot, not Victor. [IIIOItNING CHRONIc Notwithstanding the wretched condition of the French army, it has been determined, we be lieve, that it shail immediately entur Spain. It is difficult to form a conception of the extent of the rapacity of The different individuals employed in providing: supplies for it. It was deemed that the presence of the Duke rle. Belluno, uniting as he does in himself the power of Minister and 4onernl, could alone stop the progress of the evil., The. Ultras, arc greatly disappointed at finding the Spanish army in a much better state than they nitre led to suppose, and at The spirit which pervades all parties in . Spain. Mina's army, has greatly embarrassed them, and has necessitated the subtraction of, almost one-half of their force to watch the frontiers. Bow they are to reach Madrid with their remaining force, and keep Their communications open, puzzles all military men in this country. The price of forage is already enormous. If the war last any time, the good people of France will have cause to remember the cost of it. There is one cqnsola. tion for us amidst all our mottifications at this time, that we shall have to pay no -sub-, 'tidies ; for Ministers having determined to re. main neutral, while France, aided by Russian and Austrian and Prussian troops, is to at tempt the subjugation of the Peninsula, they cannot afterwards propose fresh taxes to lighten their Allies of part of the burden, If the should be hard pressed, and the Monarchical principle endangered, it would go hard, no doubt, with Ministers, if they did not then mato an effort in behalf of their old cooneciions—the great Despots. Lri TIMES.) We)ament to see that The Mornirtg uhivniele lkin beefs so, advised as to give up its columns to the rash and unprincipled Writer of the article signed G. The production of yesterday outdid all the former extravagancies of that person : it was a most gross and shameful libel on the Duke of Orleans, to' whom it ascribes intentions and Motives which if lie did not disclaim with in dignation, he would be for ever disgraced in 'the eyes of. Europe. The' Duke of, Orleans 'is net only a French subject # and a Priem of that Royal House of which Louis XVIII. is the head, but he owes to his Relative and So. vereign unbounded gratitude for personal favours of the most indulgent and liberal kind, Yet it is held out to public credulity by the writer in question, that this Bourbon Prince is ready to become a traitor, an usurper, and to bathe his hands in the blood of his benefactor and King ! There is something so monstrous in this, that it makes the blood run cold. It brings before us, whether we will or no, the horrid vision of Philip Egalite rising in 'the Convention, and shocking even his brother Regicides, by voting for the death of the amiable and virtuous Louis XVI. Aud who can' this G. be ? What writer can have so' thoroughly divested himself of every feeling of integrity and manly honour, as to suppose it possible that the unfortunate son should tread in tlie steps of the detested father?' We know nothing of Mr. Bowring, except by , name, as a iarson of literary habits ; but he hits been pretty ntelligibly hinted at by The Courier' at the writer of these odious articles, and lie does not disavow them!: This is passing strange! Mr. Bowring was represented as a harmfess traveller, a , total stranger to politics, who was most ufl reasonably suspected by the French Govern ment of meddling with plots against their safety. The detention of this innocent Gentleman was magnified into a national insult it was brought forward in Parliament f the Secretary for Foreign, Affairs was called upon to interfere ; and it was made matter of negociation by his Majesty's Am bassador at the Court of France: But if we could suppose it possible that Mr.. low ring and G. were iderttical, what would become of all the protestations of innocence so loudly made by the former? It Would be manifest that he was an agent and go-between hi the blackest treasons of a foreign State ; and that the French Go vernment, in suffering him to escape, had spared a life most justly forfeited to their violated laws. [fittrrisn pRE99.j Yesterday evening the French Papers of Sa turday, with our private letters, reached us from Paris by ex press. Our letters from Madrid state, that the Cortes and Council of State quitted that capital for Seville on the 24th, and that all was then perfectly tranquil. It is said that Am bassadors from the three coalesced powers of the Holy Alll - are to proceed to the head-quarters of the Duke of An goultMe forthwith, for the purpose of recognizing, on be half of this league of tyrants, any regency or constitution the Ultras of France may attempt to force on the Spanish people at the point of the bayonet. Lord Fitzroy Somer set had arrived in Paris from Madrid, and may be hourly expected in London ; he states, we understand, that all negocia. don has closed, and that war is inesquible. The Duke of An, gouleme arrived at Bayonne on the 31st. The Journal des Debate, the organ of V tillele and his party, states that the French army will make its first movement about the 7th of April, and that Oudinot's corps will. cross the Bidassoa on the 10 h. Or drrs have been given for the construction of a line of telegraphs from Bayonne to Paris, which are expected to be In full motion by the,lsth. The feeling throughout France is certainly most 'strong against the war, and among the better orders a petition has been presented in the Chamber of DepUties, signed by a great number of merchants, manufacturers, and principal 'artists from Lyons, praying that peace may be preserved with Spain. y The inhabitants of Grenoble resident in Paris, called on Messrs. Savoye-liollin and Telssierc, Members of the Cot 6 Gauche In the Chamber of Deputies, to congratulate them, in, the names of a number of their fellow-citizens, on their conduct during the present Session, and particularly during the remark able sittings in the beginning of March. The letter of congratu.' lation was tilled with more than three hundred signatures, among whom were those of the most distingnished advocates, mer chants, notaries', and bankers in Grdhoble. The Prefect of the Gironde has announced, by a proclamation addressed to the Inhabitants of Bourdeaux, that the Duchess of An gouleme -would arrive in that city on the 6th. The Duke of Belluno arrived on the 29th of March at Bayonne ; and at Boordeaux the report was general that the French army would make a forward movement by. the 7th. The Jour. nal des Debuts states, that a courier arrived on Friday from. Petersburgh to the Russian Ambassador, Pozzo di Bow, — Gen. Guilleminot has certainly been superseded by the War Minister, Victor, and is, recalled to. Pans. Some of somaviolent clis turbancea wok place at,Brest, owing to the conduct the Swiss soldiers. A 'proclamation was issued by the Mayor on the occasion, strongly reprobating the conduct of these mer cenaries, and promtaing that justice should be exercised agttinst those who were guilty. . [MORNING Paris Journals of Saturday arri'ed yesterday. Their contents are not without interest. Lord Fitzroy Somer set had arrived at Paris from Madrid, and upon his arrival all hopes of peace, if any can be said to have been still in exist ence, vanished. He is said to have announced that negocia tlon had been wholly abandoned. A new day is now named in the, Paris Papers for the i paisage of the Ilidassoa--the 7th inst. It appears doubtful, however, whether the .frontier will be crossed even then. Some accounts is the Paris Journals, from the head-quarters, and a Bayonne paper also, state that though the troops might be ready to march, yet there was not arrived a sufficient train of waggons to convey the baggage, and other aPPurtenancee to an invading army, on so early, a day. Th e delay is scarcely of importance, considering that the invasion seems irrevocably decided. The Duke of Belluno (Minister of War) arrived on the With, and the Duke o f Angouletne on the 30th ult., The hater inunediately issued from his Head quarters at Bayonne un Order of the Day to the troops of which he had just assumed the command. This document, insignificant enough in itself, derives interest from the pe culler circumstances under which it has been put forth.—li is the first occasion, on which the French troops have been ed.; dressed on ,the eve. of battle, by a Meinber of the House of Bourbon, aloeathe Restoration. The Duke of Angouleme (or his.military penman) has Fad the bad taste to out4lerod the peculiar style of which Btionaparte was the,inveri tor in his bulle tins, distinguished by a cot tam bold ness i hrevit v, and seritentiditS pomp. Theo bohemia, thii`they som etllll.o rem; e d the darbi g vation and stirring energy of Martial eloquence might yet be cha racterised generally as bombastic; bat that which was only bom bast in the bulletins of Italy and Egypt, becomes downright bur lesque in the tinier ofthe Day addressed In the Anny Of the Py renees, It begins , " Soldiers! I arrive among you I ' The event announced is sadlydisproportioned to the pompous brevity of this period. It is singular enongh that though Marshal Victor (Duke of -Helium)) must have superseded Gen. Guilleminnt, as Major-General of the Army, on the 29th, yet the .Order of the Day, dated time 30th, is signed in that capacity by the latter.— The al!pointtristit , of Victor. as Major.Generel was officially no titled in the ;11foniteur.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. ( From the Dublin Correspondent.) The London Journals of Saturday have ar , *rived, and they bring the important intelligence that hortilities have actually commenced between France and Spain. So the Ow** Evening Paper announces; but we observe no indi cation of it on any of the Paris Papers which we have received up to Friday morning. One of these merely states that a slight, affair of posts between the Royalist and Constitutional Spa. nerds took place on the night of the 17th, on the Eastern Py renees, near Perpignan. This is what often occurred befOre. The principal part of the French army is stationed on the Western Pyrenees, about Bayonne. It is in this quarter it means to penetrate into Spain, while it appears the Spanish Royalist Corps, or the Army of the Faith, under Baron , d'Eroles' is entrusted with the duty of either guarding the 'Eastern Pyrenees, or penetrating into Catalonia. It was here that the Spanish Constitutional troops,, under Mina, made the irruption above alluded to. It is said he crossed the frontier, 'and defeated d'Eroles on the night mentioned. All this may true,be _ or it may not. But what is to be inferred from it p I.lt is this—that the French army cannot successfully de fend itself even. on the contracted line of the Pyrenees; and therefore how shall it be placed, when every step it takes in advance will enlarge the circle by which it can be . assailed ?'—There is, we apprehend, a perverse fatality hang big over the Bourbons, and driving them on to this enterprise/ We are now informed by the e * * *, which seems to be the legitimate organ of this Family, that the disaffection Which was said to prevail among the . French troops on the frontiers has ; not occurred, but the conspiracy alludedto only referred to a number of persons who were preparing to proceed from Paris to the army, , armed with the tri-coloured insignia, in or der to induce it to swerve from the duty imposed upon it of irt. , vading Spain.—lt is really amusing to observe the shifts and expedients the two London Journals, the C • * ' and N * * T • • *—(and, for the himour of the British Nation, we find only two which have supported this' iniquitous project)-..are obliged to resort to,- for the purpose of colouring their shameful advocacy. At one time the character and , conduct . of Louis XVIII. are compared with those of William 1n. 3 of glorious memory. What an infatuation—what a prostitution of charac• ter—what a pervision of history l• We are next gravely told by one of these Papers, that a dreadful conspiracy is in existence against all Thinned which embraces the' discontented of all countries—the ramifications• extend to' the new and the old world—and all have agreed and sworn to ohe unity of object—. that of creating. revolution in every nation. Abbi Barnel was at one time admired for the ingenuity with' which he advanced a proposition of this. kind;: but he charged the Freemasont as the authors of thit crime.—The Abbt and his work have, how./ ever, sunk into oblivion ;- and it remained only for' such a sage politician as the Editor of the C****** to discover a new set of employer in the great work of retolution. That mankind will always . furnish a number of persons alive to its best hue/ rests—ardent in their pursuit, and willing to' ,brave 4anger in their advancement—is matter of glorious triumph. V7e should indeed lament when , such would not be the case It might bring to our recollection that period of the history of the world, from the third to the thirteenth century, when it had been en- , velOped in political and religious darkness/ That period— thanks' to the Press—shall" never arrive again. The above Journals, and their supporters, may lament over the circum stancefbut that is all they' can do. The spirit of the age—the expanded information of matkintf—and . the . grand itnprove meats in arts and sciences, have' all contributed to remove from ur any apprehension that Europe' again will be sunk into mental obscuration. The sing of Spain had taken his depar• tore from Madrid' on the' 20th ult., agreeable to the ahnot4neethent before promulgated. Be was accompanied by an escort of five , or six thousand men. Upwards of twenty thousand militia were to occupy the road' leading to Seville, where his future domicile is fixed. As it is evident that the safety of this incomparable personage ; And true specimen of Bourbon undemanding, is an object of great solicitude to the Holy Alliance, we are gratified toperceive that it is also one of equal interest to the Spanish people. Nothing can raise the character of this nation more than the deference it, has shewn to the illo 'narchical principle, , in its indulgence to the faults and frailties of this individual He had committed errors, that at other times, and under' other circumstances , would h ave drawn on him the utmost rigour of public inination ; but this brave and sensible,people have drawn an at mirable lesson from the extravagance and cruelties of the French Revolution, and they have respected the office, at the same time making allowance for the aberrations of perverted' education, In this we cannot but admire their wisdom and moderation. And yet, notwith standing. all this clemency, and all the prudence they have dis played in effecting a reformation in their institutions—not shedding scarcely one drop of blood in accomplishing so great a good for their country—they have been unable to secure the respect of the other Governments of Europe.— Whatl an awful lesson does this view of the Spanish Re volution afford to the other Monarchs of Europe. They . should surely pause before they would consent to visit with the same penalties the moderation of the Spanish people, and the cruel 'and sanguinary proceedings of die French Jaco bins. We are aware that the C*"**" and its copyists endea vour to represent the French and Spanish Revolutions of simi lar character, and to recognise in 'both a • tendency to destroy that respect for the Monarch so necessary in all well-regulated States. But the effect of the sophistry of this Journal would be, to break down all the distinctions between justice and crime, between praise and blame, between moderation and cruelty, and in fact between virtue and vice. If the people of Spain are to be visited with invasion because they effected a bloodless regeneration of their institutions, and secured the Monarch his throne, will it Dot induce the people of other na tions, under similar circumstances, not to regard in what light their conduct may be considered, but to follow the dictates of a severe and awful justice ? The distinction ought to sink deep in the minds of those who now wield the power of king dom*. Their conduct is in fact on trial—anti .we trust they will she* that they know how to distinguish between what is .commendable and what is to be reprobated, and that they will not pursue the impulse of a blind zeal when they imagine they ate performing a sacred duty. DUTY ON STONES.—At the Meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday the Lord Provost and Magistrates resolved to present a petition to Parliament, praying that th e duty might be taken off stones:and slates carried coastwise. The duty levied on stones amounts to about 27 per cent., —to such a sum as had hitherto almost pre vented the builders of Edinburgh from using the Forfarshire stones, except as cisterns ; although they are peculiarly suited for inside stairs, and for paving the under flats of houses where there are any appearance of damp.—( Edinburgh Cou rant, April 5.) EXECUTION or JOHN 'BOLT.—Tilifi unfortunate young man, since his trial (a report of which appeared in THE Sum), at our assizes, for attempting the life of Jane Jusland, at Lifton-park, has conducted himself in a very penitent and pro per manner. In Conversation on Thursday (the 3d inst.), with the Rev. Mr. Chave„ Chaplain to the prison,she expressed the deepest sorrow for having committed the dreadful act„ but was at aloss to account for the impulse whielt prompted him to it; his mind, he said, was in such a state of frenzy that he knew not what he did, hut he had often meditated self-destruction. —lle affirmed, that she had given him encouragement for 12 Months, during which time he had never parted from her at night without saluting her; and that. he first heard Prom his master of her being engaged to another man. To the turnkey , he said, " I love her ;Bearer than any woman upon earth, and I would suffer my body this moment to be cut into pound pieces to do her any, service." Ile had kill within a few days enter tained tes. ofa reprieve ; but this could not be granted With. out mani f est hijtistice to others who have forfeited their lives for less offences.' Hilt sleep on Thursday was sound anti unin terrupted t and yesterd a y morning (Friday the 4th inst.) he re. ceived the sacrament according to his desire. At 12 o'clock he was led out of his cell, and walked with it firm step through the, ave nues to the Court-yard. The other prisoners were assembled there, with whom lie shook hands, repeating several times, while tears streamed over his face, " Gixl bless you, my dear fellows—God bless you 1" In his way to the place of , execution, he said, " The deed is done, anti cannot be un-, done—but I. bope God will receive my soul." On the scaf fold he appeared to stiffer much inward feeling, and trembled ' exceedingly; btit his manner, as well as his expressions, were per f ect l y resigned. When the Chaplain had finished the usual prayers,. in which he devoutly Joined, he said to those' around, " Tell her 1 forgive her,' and I ,hopesho forgive. me. 7 7-- If you see my deur parents, tell them I died happy, and at peace with all mankind." Just before he gave' the fatal signal, an acquaintance ascended , tbe:platforin to shake' hands with him, to whom his parting viortis were, ". God bleast you ; when we meet again, I hope it will be in a better . place."; About 2b. minutes, past 12 o'clock,, this unhappy v i ctim of powerful passion yielded his life in expiation of his outrage on the laws of his country.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE. s3ow-STREET.--Yesterday Lord Prudhoe waited upon Sir IL Brawsu, accompanied by a man named William Martin, wlio, his Lordship said, was desirous of communicating some adventures of rather an extraordinary nature, which he stated to Neve befallen him while at sea on a voyage from Shields to LOndon. - Martin was desired to tell his own story, and he began with stating that he had been more than 20 years in the service of Si D. W. Smith, Bart. in Northumberland. About a fort ni ht ago, in consequence of some disagr eement between him i an his master," they separated, and being anxious to get to London as cheaply as possible, he hastened to Shields,,where he'engaged a passage on boar d a trader, but she sailed without him iii consequence of his being a little too long in leave4aking, and he would ha - ve lost his trunks had not a bout belonging to the Customs brought them ashore fore him. Wh il e stan ding on'the beach ruminating upon his misfortune, and the best mode of remedying it, the Hope, a fine north country brig, bopnd to London, hove to off the harbour. He put off to her, engaged with Captain Rutherford, who commanded her, for his passage, and got his trunks on board. Captain Rutherford requested him to go below when they were about to put to sea, but he objected, observing that the want of air, added to the motion of the, vessel, would disorder his stomach. The Captain, however, insisted upon it, and said he would explain the rea son another time. He went below, and shortly after they. had put to sea, he heard the sound of female voices in the next birth. He heard them at intervals that day and the next,- and on the second night, at a very late hour, he was dreadfully alarmed at healing the same female voices (he judged there were three or four) supplicating for mercy, and imploring, that whatever else might be done to them, their lives might be spared. • To these supplications a man's voice replied. ' It's of no use, you must submit to your fate t" Shrieks followed this awful declaration—a emit& was heard, and' all again was silent for a tune ; but he afterwards heard heavy steps ascend the " stairs" to the deck. He lay all this time sweating with horror at every pore, but fearing to make any stir, lie remained in his birth until morning. When he went upon . deek, he looked fearfully at the Captain and crew, but said nothing, because lie thought they would have littlak hesitation in getting rid of him if they should discover the ex. tent of his knowledge. At breakfast he obterved that they looked " queerly" at him, and sundry obscure hints were thrown out ;. the Captain, for instance, remarking " that the old lady had walked farther that night than she had - done since they had • left Shields"--an observation which he had no doubt applied , to one of the unfortunate women he had heard. At length, overcome with terror, he - threw himself on his knees and.begged them only to spare his life and he would give them all he had in the world : upon which they seized him by the arms andlegs, dragged him into the hold, and fastened him with his back to the mast, in which position they kept him until they arrived ' in London, when they set him on shore. He went to Northum. berlancl-house, where lie was known to all the servants, and Lord Prudhoe ' who also knew him in Northumberland, and who happened to be at his Noble Brother's, kindly advised an application at Bow-street. The applicant told this story without hesitation or wander ing, but with childish minuteness, and there was a singularity about his manner which gave rise to a strong suspicion that the strange tale was but the offspring of a disordered ima gination. Sir R. Bream ? after questioning Martin very closely, sent Bishop with him into a private room, and that Officer, after a feW minutes' conversation , expressed his opinion that he was deranged. Bishop and lipston, another Of fi cer, were, how. ever, sent to the brig at Wapping, and returned in the after. noon with Captain Rutherford, a blunt Scottish seaman, with a countenance full of good-nature, who, when told of the charge, could not refrain from laughing heartily. Ile assured the Ma gistrate that Mr. Martin was the oddest customer he had ever met with, either at sea or ashore. He had not been on board the brig many hours before he began to walk the deck at a fu rious pace, an exercise which he continued for four days and nights, in spite of fogs and heavy rains. He (Captain Ruther ford) thought every moment he would throw _himself everboard, and hdoinfir,syalaip o tie.i t ia i tde e noviu n irsi i s o est rn octonha i aee n txn g beetdthat h i e suddenly threw himself on his knees spread out some bank-notes and silver upon the capstan, and g eoh e t i : gent ei t i l tpb i b e bile y ntoultowfit w wha o ltsl u ialu l ehy d s iieingo ofatogitaireskedehtie;fluilasiilisietnsto}::?aelautnoinpdlnedose w a s l money an d he a naesa ko n sdtdl d .neiwfndee tthaae nic e rarr aee: broad piece of leave to liberty. This was done entirely, with a view to preserve him from-harm; awl in order that lie might be as comfortable as possible, he supplied him with a bottle of liquor and a pipe of tobacco, for both of *hick he had manifested a s t rong liking. His foo d was sent regularly to him with plenty of good ale, and at night he'suitbred him to sleep In his (Captain Rutherford's) own birth. Sir It. BITUTIZ.—But where are the women, Captain ? Captain Rutherford.—l suppose they are stowed away some where about the ship, Sir, for I have never seen them. Sir R. Biftstre asked what old lady it was he was talking about one morning, and the Captain gave an explanation which created no small merriment. He said, he called his brig " The Old Lady," and sometimes he was so rude as to designate her " The Old B—h !" On the night in question, they had made better way than before. Sir R. BzniezE dismissed the matter altogether, and advised Martin to keep himself quiet, or he Might get into trouble. WORM IP-STREET.—..HOL YWELL-MOTINT BURIAL- Gaon); D.—The same anxiety prevailed yesterday for the open ing and application for that purpose was made to W m. BENNETT, Esq., the presiding Magistrate, who, in con. sideration of their distressed feelings, permitted the relatives to enter the ground and satisfy their dreadful anxiety. In conse quence, the crowd, consisting of many thousands, kept thfbng. ing through the gateway, and as many graves were opened as on any preceding day. The remains of those who had been consigned to the earth eighteen months ago were dug up for the satisfaction of their friends, and it was a great comfort to their minds ; for, we believe, there was only one instance yesterday of the sought-for body being taken away. • Before Mr. BEvgri• left the office, he desired it might be understood by the applicants for admission to open the graves, that they would be - allowed to do so till four o'clock , that after noon, and no longer. He thought sufficient time had been granted to satisfy all persons, and it was highly necessary there should be a limit to this . extended indulgence, otherwise there would be no end to the opening of graves. It was also observed by the officers, that one coffin had been opened three times and they believed there was not a spot left in the whole burial. ' ground which had not been disturbed for the examination of bodies beneath. They also stated, that so many of the coffins had been opened, &putrid effluvia arose from the ground, which was not only offensive in the highest degree, but dangerous to the Mafitudeinyho . visited the place. NastsioN-Hotrat.—Two well-dressed men, named Thal. ker, who al.e well known asjitislt coveys, as the thieves desig nate the upper order, or more, desperate of their trade, were charged' upon suspicion of having broken into and robbed the premises of Mr. Grace, a respectable hatter in the neighbour, hood of OxfOrd4oad, of nine dozen of hats some ladies' bonnets, and two looking glasses,. on the'9th of March. Mr. Cope, the Marshal, stated, that in consequence of in formation which) he had received on the subject of the reb bery, he Went to the lodgings of the prisoners, and upon searching, found two new hats, which were produced in the Justice-room. . - Mr. grace said, that on the 9th of March his house had been opened with picklock keys, and robbed to the extent specified. lie identified one of the hats as his workmanship, but said that the lining of it had been changed. The other hat was not'his. The prisoner very confidently asserted' that they were honest Men, and had purchased the hats. They expressed much in dip;nation at being suspected of such mean'pursuits as that of robbing a hatter, but upon a subsequent examination they drop ped the lofty tone. Mr. Cope requested that the Lord Mayor would postpone the Case on account of some serious charges against the prisoners, of which he had been apprised. Upon searching the privy at the lodgings of the prisoners, he . found a plated coffee-pot - , with the Goldsmiths'-hall mark • upon it, and he expected to make further discoveries in the same place. The .prisoners Were remanded. SUDDEN CUALLENGE.—As M r. Ito lIERT BAKER, of Heyden, Essex, was on his way to Hert ford market, on -Saturday last, he was sud. denly surprised by' Mr. N. V. STEELE, of Bark. way, alerts, surgeon (who, it is supposed, 'Was in wait for him) ; the latter presented the former with a pistol, at the same time having another in Weiland. So theatrically was this done, that the former gentleman (both having been on friendly terms) thought it a joke, and began to laugh most heartily. He, however, was soon undeceived, for the latter began belabouring the former with his horsewhip suns coehNnic, and both separated, taking opposite directions. This subject is refelred already to the gentlemen of the long robe.—(Doichister Gatettc.) LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD The price of the elb. Loaf is stated at Sid. by the foll r price bakers.
