IT is notorious, that, although London and a few large cities and towns are lighted with Gas, many populous places in the country, though anxious to enjoy the same advantage, are either unable from the want of the requi site capital or information, or unwilling from the apprehen 'lion of failure, alone to incur the trouble and expenee atten dant on the origination of new establishments. The object of the General Gas-Light Company is to remote these difficulties ; and to affbrd facilities, in the shape of c a ps. tal and co-operation, to those places 'which may be desirous of being supplied with Gas, and may wish for the assistance of a public body, in possession of whatever the combination of ca pital, AM, science, and experience can contribute towards the attainment of that object. It must be evident that the Works necessary for this pur pose can be undertaken with much greater advantage by a Company engaged in constructing many such Works, than by The Capital of the Company is 600,0001., divided into shares of 401. each. Of this sum 200,0001. only will be raised in the first instance, which has' been subscribed ; and the Directors have the power to raise 100,0001. further, in shares, which may be distributed among the inhabitants of such places as may be lighted by, or in conjunction with the Company. The re maining capital of 300,0001. to be raised hereafter, when it may be required. I t w ill appear,. from the plan of this Institution, that it is not intended to interfere with any of the Gas Companies now existing, The Directors are ready to receive proposals from any place, for the formation of a Gits Establishment, either jointly with the inhabitants, or at the Company's sole risk and expence ; and it will be their endeavour, in either case, to place the ar rangements for that purpose on such a basis of fairness and li berility, as shall make the success of the different establish ments the common interest of all parties concerned.

MONUMENT TO LORD ERSKIN E. A Meeting of the Member; of the profession of the law was held in Lincoln's Inn-hall yesterday evening, for the purpose of paying a mark of respect to the memory of Lord Erskine. The hall-doors were °pails() at seven o'clock, and in a few minutes afterwards the hall was filled by a number of the most eminent Barristers and Solicitors In the metropolis. Among the persons present, we observed Mr. Scarlett, M. P., Mr. Abercromby, ...M. P., Mr. Brougham, M. P. Mr. Denman, M. P., Mr. Bailie, M.P., Sir. W. Owen, Mr. Bell, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Dover, Mr.'ll. cooper, Mr. Wake field, Mr. Atcheson, Mr. Freshfield, Mr. Kay, &c. Mr. SCARLETT was called to the Chair: Upon taking it he observed, that he was fully ; 4e us! ble of the honour which the..Mecting had conferred;:: him calling him to the Chair; and the best return he' could make thein for .it would be to detain them as short a time as possible.— He was inclined to brevity upon this occasion because he Wes aware that they were all acquainted with the purpose for which they were Met, and because he likewise knew that they were most of them occupied by other engagements, to which it was requisite that they should return as early as they could. For the sake of form, he would read, Ott requisition on which they had been assembled. It was as follows " Understanding it to be the wish of the profession of the law that some mark of respect should be shown to the memory of the late Lord Erskine, we take the liberty of requesting your attendance at Lincoln's-inn Hall on Monday the 15th of De cember, at half-past seven o'clock in the evening. John Lens, :Limes Scarlett, • John Vaughan, John Bell. • Arthur Onslow, John Gurney, Albert Pell, George llctid," Thomas Jerv:s. Sce. &c. • That requisition had been made in conseqtience of an Inti mation having been made to several gentlemen of the bar, that there was a prevalent wish amongst the members of the profession that some token of respect should be paid to the memory of the late bord Erskine, a man whom they had all p'ved and admired whilst he was alive, and whom they had al ways acknowledped to be one of the greatest ornaments to that common profession to which they all belonged. Ile . was sure that in an assembly of gentlemen like thole v;hom he then saw before him, it was quite unnecessary to state any mesons for their °firing this proof of respect and admiration to the late Lord Erskine. The public at large were eager to pay some tribute to his memory ; but they felt that such a tri bute, whatever its nature was, ought to originate from the profession to which he had belonged. For his own part, he must say, that he felt with them ; and, provided the meetiny . entertained similar feelings, and approved of the proposition, he Would, without further address, which the well-known merits of Lord Erskine render umacessary, pro pose that a statute to the memory of his Lordship should be erected in some place to be determined by a' Committee. If any gentleman had any other proposition to melte, he should be happy to hear it, but if not, he would now take the liberty of moving in words, which he would hereafter reduce to writing, that a subscription lie opened for the purpose of erecting a statute to the late Lord .Erskine ; that the followin4 gentlemen be appointed to form the said committee; and that it be left to them to determine the proper place in which it ought to be erected. Mr. Scarlett then mentioned r the followitig names:— Mr. Serjeunt Lena, Mr. Serjeant Vaughan, Mr. Bell, 'Mr. Heald, Mr, Itaine, Mr. Jervis, Mr. Otirney, Mr. Adam, and Sir W. Owen. Mr. AnEncitostiir said 'hat the name of the Chub-roan ought also to be inserted.—(ll-1r !) • Mr. ScArtt, TT said he should also wish to add the names of Mr. Abcrcromby, 31r. Canipbell, Mr. Itrougl:.iin, and Mr. Down There were also • - .wo personal friends of Lord Erskine, whom he thought they ought to place on the Committee-1:e meant Mr. Lam and Mr. Mel/nisi Wilson. These gentlcamen he would propose to form the Committee of Management. .11e would also add a R solu/ion, that Coetts and Co. shoulcl be apprintcd bankers to receive subwiptions along etch other bankers as the Comenittee mig!it think it neces sary to appoint. A Gentlemen, with whose //erne we irciie unamuninted, tiro posed that Mr. Ilrandeth and lip n6Bl/field should be added to the Committee._ _ M. Sch.nt_ rTw heal not the slightest ohjection to tiv..!Proposeti addition ; indeed they should be glad •o receive those as colleagues into the Cnlelittoe it tn,q ,, with any itiggestion which they or ..tny 'other gendeanrn teem it txpedient to make. It the gentlemen present'acceded to Oleic , propbsitims, the whole matter mi , .;!it be considened Art sealvd. A hinn of approbation .watt heard from the meeting. Mr. SCARLLT T observed that he had on)) , one word trete to observe to theni before they dispersed. They bad ronsidere d tvhe. thee the subscription should be liMited to any, end What aunt. The great re.spectabilitY of the relent ineeting, and the 'sineero respect Which WAS felt by the Tiublie for the memory of Lord Et» skine, convinced him that the subscription would be extentie:! M and therefore he thought that it Would perhaps he expedient that no individual should set the exat.ipl of a very large subl scription. Ile should be happy to contribute his share, and that amongst the largest • yet without Meaning to discourato any person from sUbscribing largely , he hoped' that he might be permitted to say that too large a sub4utuffon at' the outset might deter many persons, who were rtaxaais to beennte sub scribers, from subscribing at ell. Suchit result was, in his opi. nion, any thing but desirable. The Committee would calcu. late the es:pence, aid when they had obtained :t tool sufficient to cover it, the Subscription might be stopped, ord'an announees ment to that diet be made to the public' The Committee Iseult; then re.ss.semble, and submit their plan to the snlv. scribers. As all the membert of it belonged to the profestion of the libw, perhaps tl:e Meeting would leave is to the dices tion of the Connnittee to choose their omit secretary, (Hear !). No objection being made to any of the propositions ii,oved by Ain Scariett. they were declared to , be retried. Mr. SCAZIGVI T then reduced them into writing. Whilst he was doing so, Broughani cane: to his side, and intimated that he Wished hi? (Mr. Brougliam'Oname to be left nut of the Committee. Mr. Searlett, in conseipience, omitted it in read. ing the names over to the meeting; eta on being asked the cause, replied that it was by . Mr. Brougham's desire. The name of Mr. Reader was substituted in Its place. A Gentleman asked if Mr. Denman's name was upim thq Committee. CARLETT replied that It was not. Mr. Denman had desired to have his name otnitzei, though he was at the saute time most anxious to forward the object of the subscription.--: (Hear, hear!) ' Another Gentleman moved, that the risme i°f Mr. Ateheson should be added, and assigned as a reason th,lt ;1;. At heron was Presitl4,t of the Metropolitan Law A tisoei Atclieson's name was added accordingly, as tv.ls Oa° tl:e naiue e Mr. - .Josetili Kay. • Mr. SCAT:LETT observed, that it had been hitimated to hint that he ought to announce, that as this plan had orginated w i t h the profession, the profession, though it would be ,oral to re . ceica the aid anti assistrnce of the ptiblic,conriciered ibernselves to be paying T.:tribute to Lord Erskine, not as a poblic, but 4 professional roan. Thry had nothing to do with his political character. Though they did not refuse the subscription of any man who gave it upon public grounds, still they wished it to I , e known that ti m y not. ctrusW.er his Lordship's political conduct, but the gre,it 01Q i;eneral urbanity, and the unrivalled eloquent which be had displayed whilst at the bar, and by witiv,ll hi ban improved, honoured, and adorned the profession to which be belonged.—(Hear, hear !) Alr.,Seantyrr then left The chair. Mr. RA v?-. 11 then called to it.--A Gentleman then moved, without any preliminary observations, that the thanks of the meeting be given to 31r. Scarlett for his excellent conduct in the chair. _ _ _ The motion was seconded, anti carried by acclamation. Mr. SCARLPITT, in returning thanks, observed, that it was a great satisfaction to him toilers been placed in the chair upon such an occasion, The meeting then dissolved ; but before its - dissolution a con: riderable sun was subscribed by the Gentlemen present.

But if all the uses (1 the trust and Rectiversrip had been fulfilled,—and there was nothing in this cause to allow to the contraty—tthe Counsel had alleged that there were other causes in which the receivership was yet actively engsged,)—then the Court would be hound to frame an order which would do ',way the Receivership, and put an end to all furlher 1.1.4.wr admitted that the notice shouhi have been I.tiVert in the oth eauseti, sc, as to bring before the Court a ll the truits tot' the Interests of which the Receiver was appointed.

JurricE began to try special. jury eathec CODLAWD b. nEDLA M. This was an action on a policy of insurance on the ship Larry, valued at 2,000!., on a voyage from Liverpool to Mu. ranham. The defendant subscribed the policy for 800/. The declaration alleged a total loss by the perils of the seas. Mr. St! Alt LET T stated the case on tt►e part of the plaintiff: It appeared in evidence, that before the ship reached Dente. rare, she was struck by n heavy sea and sprung. a leak, in con. sequence of which she was hauled up on a' bank for repair, and while in this situation sustained a still further inqu►ry. The miners then abandoned her to the underwriters, and determined to claim as for a total loss.

At all events, he was only entitled to a small per centage as for Al"raur,e lots; for it was clear that the circumstances did not jastity the abandonment of the vessel._ _ Lout) Ciu Jorrlci: told the Jury, that if they thought the ship was not seaworthy, they must fi n d a ver di ct for the defendant t if they were of a contrary opinion, then, as the ship had undoubtedly received some injury, they would giro the plaintiff n verdict for :In average loss, as he could not, on a damage comparatively slight, sell, or break up the vessel, and claim as f. r. u total loss.

II.) INNOCENCE CONDEMNED. There was published a Consultation, tending to restore the .honour of a son who was accused of parricide, and to save the life of his wife prisoned as an accomplice,, at the Court of St. Omer's. At the recital of this son's unfortunate sentence, we must be horror.struck ; and much more perhaps, at the thought of that which may happen to ourselves. It is now midnight t I reflect, I meditate again and again ; I try all I can to make myself, and those around me, better, and the next moment I retire to re pose. Yet, how do 1 know but my wife or my daughter may he carried off by a sudden death and, to add to my affliction, by some unlucky coincidence, over which I could have no control, but which presses hard against my character. I may be seized and cast into a dungeon, from whence I may be destined, not to escape, but to punishment, or, what is still worse, to disgrace for life. Whatever courage or resolution I may have by nature, most certainly I. cannot protest with more firmness and constancy my per fect innocence than this Accused. If I say, in the midst of torture, " No, I have not corn. milted the crime," 1 shell speak the same lan gunge with him. If I say, both in public and r;ieate, ' 4 l ask pardon of God and the King for all my faults, but I ask none of Justice for t!tis crime, which I have not committed," I speak but as he spoke. If, pressed by the ministeri of religion, I say, 66 You wish me to confess my. self guilty of parricide, dare then to take to your own account before God the lie which you so!icit,"—l shall only speak as he did. If, un der the hands of the executioner, I say, with my dying voice : " I confess I have been guilty of some faults ; I die with all my heart to atone for them, but the crime of which I am accused never defiled my censcienca ; I never so much as thought of such contamination ;" speak like him. If, from the midst of the Pauses into which my mangled limbs are thrown, my very features cry aloud against the crime and my un just sentence, I shall do w h at he did--but of what use will it be ? A rash uccount of a pkio'us physician, who is ever the more inclined to suspect as he is himself the snore to be sass peeled ; words that have dropped by accident, misconstrued to a serious purpose ; looks and gestures which mean nothing, if not connected with untoward incidents against ere; the very purity and Innocence of my life on all other pc'. casions, inducing the stranger suspicions upon this ; or other circumstances, its themselves trivial, yet confirmations strong in the minds of those who have one caught the alarm, will at once blast my character, as they have blasted the life and character of this Seemed. 1 shudder at the uncertainty of our destiny, and 1 feel confounded at the defects of criminal jurisprudence, in a nation who boast of their excellence above all others, if in . port of their constitution, in the administration of p er _ feet justice. It seems to me, when the life and character of a man is at stake, the law ought to leave to the wisdom of the Judge, the comparison of the evidence with the nature of the crime. Ought two witnesses to be considered in all cases sufficient? How common is it for sod) to be de ceived ; and still more to suborn others to 6. ceive. What numerous examples are there of this in our annals. There May be circumstantial evidence, when there need not be any one-wit ness, but which wild be very superior to a thou• sand witnesses whose characters are suspicious ; yet are there not other cases in which the oaths of a thousand will not counterbalance the improba bility of the fact_; and what fact can be more abominable, or more unnatural than the crime al. leged ? To believe that parricide could have been committed, Cicero thought that the culprit should be stilted upon the dead body of his father, and drugged before the tribunal with his hands reek ing with blood. In this case there is an orator who %ratters like the dust before the wind, the evidence which would convict this pretended culprit, there are physicians, &c. whose decision in the cool mo. meets of reflection is directly contrary to that of the first who were celled in. Methinks I am one of the jury who have been the menus of condemning an innocent man ; I ask myself what would become of me,und I can. not answer. lam sure that the image of the un happy accused will present itself to my ir.mgina tion as long as I live. Let Mtn hold the sword of justice who can believe firmly that he shall never strike any but the guilty ; I envy him not this terrible prerogative. Against this belief, however, there are not a few instances of this atrocious error, the conviction of innocence, re. corded in a very short space of time, not morely when fortune, which from it% eature, may change with every turn of the wind, but even life, and character, still dearer than lift, is proved to be of the same flighty meteriels. Suspicion lightb upon it ; envy and slander are ever busy at hand to confirm suspicion, till even those who were most free from prejudice and passion, run into th e general vortex; and character which has been the labour of years, and which has appeared as %troll as it was just, vanishes in a moment, and the in nocent, who were before surrounded with friends are left alone, with J o s ; an d there is no man to tell him any thing but what most distresses him to hear, the sari story of hatred, malice, and all uncharitebleness., EAST INDIA HOUSE, October 29, 1123 .
