BRYAN' V. WOODWARi). Seijearit SHEPH ERD chewed cause 'against a Rule obtained by Mr. Serjeant LENS in thi3 ease. • The - Rule ivas obtained upon an affidavit'. by' 'Which it appeared that the defendant was a shoe , maker at Oxford, and was likewise a Setjeant in the Local Militia. Previous to MiChaelmas:f ern' last, he was arrested for a debt of 101. to which he gave bail, and the bail having been called upon to pay the debt and costs; refused. so to do, upon the ground that the defendant was exempt from arrest by the:Local Militia Act, ,of the 48th of the King, which enacted that all men serving in the said should not be liable to arrest, while on actual service. On the part of the plaintiff ) Mr. Smjeant SHEP HERD opposed the gule, upon the ground that the defendant had not taken advantage of the plea, which was now made at the proper time, having suffered judgment to be entered up against him, and having also filed a Writ of Error in the Court of King's Bench. He also stated that it Was ne cessary, in order to come under the protection of the clause in the Act, which had been alh to, to have it stated on the affidavit that he was actually receiving pay at the time when the ar rest took place, which bad not been done. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD observed, that there was no public object to gain by this rule. The defendant Was now actually serving as a soldier, and consequently .the'public service could not be injured. Had he, indeed, been in custody, the Court would have interfered ; but as the case now stood, it was a mere effort of the bail to re lieve themselves of a burthen, which they had volnntarily taken upon themselves, and which they had rendered heavier, by omitting to make the proper 'plea in due season. The rule must, therefore, be discharged. CHESTER, JUNE 5. The-Special Coinn - tission for this County finish ed its first,:and we trust its last, sitting on Satur day. Fifteen . have received the awful entence of death ; and it is distressing to add, five -of these unfortunate and deluded men, Temple, Crossland, Gfeenough, llaywoml, and Thompson are ordered, for execution on Monday, the 15th instant. The following is a copy of the oath • adminis tered by Thomas Whitaker to those deluded men, and for which he has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to sZ:ven years transportation :'— " 1, .A.l. of my own free will, do solemnly swear, that I will not reveal to any person or persons, in any place or places under the canopy of Heaven, the names of the persons who 'com pose the Secret Committee, either by word, deed, or sign, their proceedings, meeting places, abode, dress, features, marks, complexions, or connec tions, nor by any thing else that may lead to the discovery of the same, under the penalty of being put out of the world by the first brother who shill meet me—my nusne and character blotted out of existe ire atm 7! ever to be remembered but with contempt and :1.; liorrence. I.farther swear, that I will , use my best endeavours to punish with death, any traitor or traitors, should any rise up•amongst us, he or they ;- and though he should fly to the verge of nature, I will .pursue him with unceasing vengeance. - So help me God to keep this oath inviolate." , , 'lt appears, on reference to the. dates, that the late .disturbances in this connty.vp'ere systematized. and arranged ; at least our - conclusions lead us to. believe so. On the 14th-of April, the plans of the, incendiaries were .first carried into execution, and their outrages extended over • a •great extent of country. On the' 21st, a second inroad on civil order was made, attended with similar acts pf violence-; but after this day we see no riotous, proceedings f. - )f a general .11a - flue, the spirit of op position owing to the decisive conduct of the Ma gistrates and Military, having'declined.• and what ,sobsequently • took piace, were partial transac tions of a few individuals.—On and previous to the 6th of April, the two delegates, Whitaker and his companion, were busily employed in conso lidating rebellion by the administration of oaths of individual secrecy and general concordance.— Chester Chronicle. Voorn the Tiger.—A new Stage Spectacle, un der this title, was produced on. Monday evening, for the first - time, at SSTLEY'S Theatre:—VoOrn the Tiger is Chief of a Horse Banditti, who had domiciled in Sa,baudia, and who assumes the sa cred habit of a Monk, the better to conceal his depredatory designs on innocent travellers. The plot is good, the scenery beautiful, and the music at once scientific and highly pleasing ; consider ing a first night's representation, this interesting piece went off remarkably well ; indeed such pro ductions are well calculated for ASII.EY'S, where they appear in their proper element ; and not withstanding the horses were rode by a banditti, they must be seen to be credited. The house was full to the very corners. MARA, who once made so distinguished a figure in the musical circle* of this country, is - now at Moscow. Her vocal- powers are said to be in, a good state, notwithstanding her advanced time of life, and she derives considerable advantage as a teacher of singing, • for which no body can be bettqr qualified. On the 26th lilt: the foundation-stone of the bridge•over the river Dee, at Potarch, in Aber deenshire, was laid, in due form, by 'JAMES YOUNG, Esq.

M. by a violimt shtick of an earth:- quake. Balls had been given on the preceding evening, .and probably ' not. less than three hun dred people' witnessed it. In ,the 'grand bail= room, the first shock was noticed 'by the light. frOni the' ceiling, being put in motion ; they . are about five feit from the roof, suspended by a chain, . and farmed an angle of at leas't twenty degrees by the hhpulse given by the shock: 'file motion ap peared to be from W. ..N.

The chandeliers, when ,at the greatest extremity of- the impulse,. appeared to_ linger about two seconds p rev i ous t o returning.; this lasted two minutes. As you, may suppose, it broke up the dancing asseniblies. Thank God, no injury was don e , w hi c h a pp ears astonishing ; nor Are any of the. houses injured. The saute evening, at ten o'clock, another shock was felt,, but not so severe as the one in the morning. We have not felt it since. "We had, three weeks ago, some slight shocks; and thought it was all over.. " 'lnc Indians, and s o m e hu n t e r s fr om th e vast regions south of the higher waters of. the Mis souri, report th:4 several large mountains are. on fire there ; and it is universally allowed, i that the shocks were more felt as the western country was approached. A friend of .mine, Who descended. the Missisippi about a month ago*, when about two hundred miles below the month of the Ohio, saw the dreadful effects of one, by its 6lling se veral large trees, and by the falli of several acres of the banks -of the r i ver . • heaven only knows what May: be our fate; , should the shocks be stronger,. for the river is already three feet above the level attic city; and rising fast,,and it will, ere a month elapse, be at least fronrfilte.m to twenty feet higher„ and, should the-embank -If3ClaS be destroyed, the Missisippi will certainly overwhelin the country, and, should this be ac companied by a demolition of houseS, we shall be . in a dreadful situation."

The following Letter has . lately been received front Paris : The principal novelty here of late has hen the arrival of Henry, His friend, 'the soi disant Count de cril lon, is no other than a ci-decant French Priest, who was an .Officer in the Staff of Marshal Ney,.in Spain, when he contrived to rib the; military chest, and escape . to .England. Then .he succeeded in passing himself aas an Emigrant Nobleman, and as such, sold to Henry, an Estate in France, Shares in the Bank of France, and Bilis oil differ ent Senators who never existed. The Estate is in the' moon, and the shares all, counterfeits. Thus Henry has lost nearly the whole of the mo ney which the American Government was silly • enough to give him." s UNION HALL. - Seditious Expressions.A. re spectable tradesnkan, residing in the Borough, was charged before R. BIltr•IIE, Esq. with uttering certain disloyal and seditious expressions. A Gen tleivan, named Plumridge, stated , , that he was sitting with severaL other persons, amongst whom was the defenthint, a few evenings since, in the parlour of the Horns Tavern, Bermondsey, when the conversation turned on the recent news - from, America, and the defendant expressed himself in strong and pointed terms of censure en the pre sent system of search. From this lie adverted to the soldiery, and to the conduct of the Horse Guards, which, he said, had been over-bearing, arbitrary, unconstitutional, and tyrannical in the extreme. Hu said, we.were now in such a state, that we must not presume to cough, as we passed them, unless we had a certificate for that purpose in ' our• pocket. -To: change the conversation, Mr. Plwnridge, and .some others, sung " God save the King ;" when the defendant said, cr You have a person whom you call George 111. but you will never have a George IV. -; he is not the right heir.", Upon which Mr. Plumridge asked " Who was the right .heir ?.! to which . he replied, 5' Lord Moira is the right heir ; he is . a descendant of the-House of Stuart, and the Bill which Mr. Whitbread is about. to . bring into Parliament will prove as much, and skew that I am right." TLis he repeated several times ; but on being told a constable was sent for, he quitted the room, though he did not leave the house.— When the constable came, he discovered that the defendant was well known to him, and a respect able housekeeper ; he therefore. took his word for his appearance before the Magistrate the next morning. The defendant did accordingly apPear, and expressed himself extremely.sorry for having used such expressions. which, he said, could only be imputed to his having been drinking freely the early part of the evening. Several respect able persons appearing, and giving the defendant the character of a dutiful and loyal subject, the worthy Magistrate, after a suitable admonition, and a caution to he more guarded in. his expres sions in future, dismissed him. Curious I{ace.-- 7 A few days since a Gentleman of the name of Dill undertook, for a.. wager of 50 guineas, to go seven miles in one hour on the Uxbridge road, and to .carry twenty pounds weight the first and last mile. He was twelve minutes performing the first and" last miles, and he did the other five miles in thirty-seven minutes. He had eleven minutes to do the last mile with the weight, and he won it in fifteen seconds less than the given time.

INI)Li lIOLTAJE, A General Court of Proprietors was yesterday holden, being specially convened for the imrpose of taking into. Consideration the expetitency of applying to Parliament - for pecuniary In conformity to a bye-law, of the pa pers presented to' the House of Commons was then. .read. The CHAIRMAM having stated the- object of,th e Meeting; moved, that a Petition be p! . .,:ented to the House of Commons, setting forto, that lare . debts having. been contracted in the East in carrying into execution measures of- great . :i:-l tional importance, bills d rawn y in India npou the Company would become due in Januniy next, to the amount of 2,500,0001. beyond what the fundS disposable itithin that period would enable tbem to discharge. The Petition therefore wer.r on to pray, that the House wo•Ald exercise Li: it authority to enable the• Company to raise such pecuniary aid as might be necessary to the regu lar fulfilment of their financial engagements. In - answer to a question, whether it was pro posed tti raise this ,sunt by 16an or by bonds, the Clrairman replied, that he. was not able, under the present circumstances,..to explain what the views of the Government might be i n re l a ti on to that point. 'lt certainly bad been the inLention of flit; late Chancellor of the„Exchequer that the larger part should be received in the shape of a loan, and that no increase should take place of the bonded debt. The proposition was then put and carried in the affirmative. . . As it appears that the East India Company are obliged to apply to Goverinfient for pecueiary notwithstanding all the onpposed profits of their monopoly, which so many -of our Merchants an I Manufactureis are so anxious to have terminated, they may be induced to reflect whether an open trade would be attended with the advantages which they they s” sangiiinely expect. By the printed statements of the Company, how:wer, it appears, that the various commodities, which have beeti sent to our Miatic settlements for many 'years have much txceeded .the demand. If such be the fact, and the Company contend that it can be satisfactorily demonstrated, surely those who wish to embark in the trade, and who c a nno t pos sess the local knowledge and experience of the Company and their servants, would have little chance of finding their hopes realised, if Govern ment were to give its full assent to all their se.- quisitions for a free trade. • Oh ThurSday the young Gentlemen of Eton (ac cording to annual custom) foceeded from Wind . - sor to.the (most elegantly dressed), where they' partook of a sumptuous 'supper ; the tables overflowed with syllat'abs, the gift of the liberal and beneficent Mr. BRUCE.

When the late East India fleet were 'ready to sail froth Blackwall; several Revalue went on board to examine them ; in one there ryas a very handsome chariot, which excited the suvicion of the .Officers, • who, on cutting the-lining, found, betwten the stuffing, and pannels, 'a. quantity of guineas, which, on inquiry, appeared to have been destined for. Madeira, and not for the East Indies. Thocarriage and guineas were lodged in the Cus tom House.
