James §-4144t0n, efNu 35, Mitro-street, let the prisoner 1 1 '4 al Awo :o'clock in,the morning of New Year's Day. He 4{704-light and anw,it,wais two o'clock when he came in. 3 th,le ; 'The Prisoner . and Charlotte wished him a happy new year, o n Ou A r he returned the compliment and they went into their room. l • n living garY Parker, the.young wom an who had bee n f ro m the • the prisoner, was then ,called. . Every onelooked for a ' Lei. with anxiety. She was a young woman, dressed in a ring a 4 ' ' . shabby straw-bo n net, - net, a green at..rr.... gown, and cotton shawl. „ m i t t, hitt - ,She was of small stature, and of mild appearance. O n a bl e to oil ,coming in she went.inte. strong hysterics, and cried reaseda / 0 1 • , ,piteously. The prisoner gazed on her agitation with th e ge, under: • '- apathy with 'which he had heard all the evidence. She Lordsh was taken into the air and shortly recovered, but sobbed the ale - violently when brought in again. She was accommodated with a seat. She stated that her name was Mary Parker, she had lately gone by the name of Charlotte Barry; she said that she should speak the truth as far as she knew it,' and was again so violently agitated as nearly to faint. She said that she lodged with the prisoner at Mrs. Wil- Earwig, who knew that they were not man and wife.— Lodged at the corner of Windmill-court about a week; then went to live at 35, Mitre-street. It was on a Saturday night, when' she first went there ; the last Saturday before New, 'Year's Day. Paid a shilling to Mrs., Stapleton in advance of the rent. The witness was here again violently agitated, and hung her head over the back of the chair, as if she were in the greatest mental agony, sobbing again most distractedly ; she then conti nued--she was alone at the time she took the lodgings, on the Thursday before she went there. It was a first floor front-room. Was to give six shillings a week for it. Jones went there with her on the Saturday night, and con tinued living with her. Got up on the next day at four o'clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Williams and her daughter, Mary Anne, called in the morning before they were up. Mrs. Williams came to see how they were, and to borrow a little basket ; she lent it, and Mss. Williams took it away. Witness desired Mary Anne to call in the afternoon towards dusk, which she did, and got a light for her. Jones was then there, and was dressing. Mary Anne stopped, and witness got her to point out where her mother lived, as witness did not know. She brought back the same basket, when she came in the afternoon ; there was one razor in the basket. Mary Anne said to Jones, " William, here is the razor which my mother has sent." Saw the razor the next morn ing ; thinks that she herself put it into the table drawer, but wail sure that she saw it in the room. It had a spot ted tortoise-shell handle. Could not positively say whe ther or not it was in a sheath. Witness went out on the Sunday night with Mrs. Williams, her daughter, and Jones; went to Mrs. W.'s house in Grey-street; before going out had not had any thing to eat, on that day they had no money to get any thing; sat down at Mrs. W.'s for about an hour, as she asked them to wait for her while she went out. Witness went into the city and met Mrs Williams there : went with Jones over 131ackfriars-bridge and parted from hint in Bridge-street; met Jones again that night in Fleet-street at about 11 o'clock, and went Lorne with him. On Monday morning, witness and Jones got up at ten o'clock. Witness got up first. Mrs. Williams called on that morning while they were at breakfast, she generally called every morning, and also Mary Anne, the latter came first on that morning, and Mrs. Williams afterwards. Wit ness did not go out till the evening : Jones did not go out either. He went out with her at night, at about eight o'clock. It was certainly after seven. (It will be recollected that this was the night of the mur der.) He went with her to Bridge-street. She parted with him somewhere near Bride-lane. Did not recollect which way he went. Saw him again near the end of Shoe-lane. Thinks that he was going, when he met her, in a direction towards St. Paul's; could not say exactly what time it was, but believed it was about half-past 12 o'clock. Knew that it was past 12, be cause she had not seen him in the interim, from the time like left him. He did not speak to her when he first met her, but erossAl the road before her, to let her see him, and went down a turning where she followed him. Both St. Bride's church and St. Dunstan's church bells were ringing before Jones had joined her. When witness met Jones, they went with a female to drink 1' at a public-house in Poppin's-court. Jones and witness then went home together, leaving the female, who had ' gone to the public-house with them. Thinks that she was let in at her lodgings by a young woman who lodged up , ntairs. Thought it was ,her let them in, because she had it :tonally done so, but she was not positive as to that night. :it they were a-bed where witness lodged, when she came Lome at night the landlord generally got up and let them in. Jones told her in Fleet-street that he was going out at ten o'cloek the next morning to meet a young man, of whom he expected to borrow some money, at St. Paul's Church-yard. When she met Jones, she told him that she had no money. He said, " Never mind, I have met a friend who has lent me two or three shill ings, and that 'will do for to-morrow," they then went home; asked him where he had been, but he did not tell her. On the next morning (Tuesday) Jones got up first, at about nine o'clock; he lit the fire, because he wanted to go out soon ; he washed his hands, but did not clean him self, or any part of his dress before breakfast ; they break fasted together ; while at breakfast, he was cutting the bread and butter, and told witness that he had cut Lis finger. It was on his thumb, but she did not notice which hand. Saw the cut; it seemed deep; each aide of the flesh seemed bleeding.—(The prisoner here took a note, and sent it to Mr. Butler, his attorney.)—He Wiped it on a handkerchief. It seemed to witness to have been fresh cut. He asked for some rag, and she said that ale had none. He then wrapped the handkerchief round his thumb. It was a handkerchief which 311 ". Williams bad lent him previously. It was of a very dingy yellow colour. He had had it in his hat sni the night before; was sure it was not on his head then ; neither• was his imod tied up. It was after ten o'clock that he went 'out. Gave her two shillings before breakfast. Pie came in again at about three o'clock in the afternoon. Witness did not go out while he was gone. It was a very wet day. He brought home an umbrella and some money (the witness here pointed out the um brella produced by Furzeman as the same). He gave wit ' lieu a crown piece; saw some money, but did not know whether that was all he had ; saw two or three half crowns and some shillings • he als o gave h er three shillings to give to the landlady. When he came home he shifted himself, and dried his clothes. Witness got a shawl and gown of her's out of pledge, and also s ome eatables, with the crown which he gave her. The, gown was pledged with Mr. Smith, of the New -cut and the shawl with Mr. Tarrant or Turner, of Ch arlotte -street, Blackfriars-road. She left Jones at home, and when she returned, she found him still there. In tliesgserooon, be asked her to go to the play ; she paid the landlady 3 5., and as she owed Mrs. Williams half-a-crown, Jones took her in the evening, as they were going to the play, two Shillin g s . Al m Willi ams was not at home, and witness waited at' t h e door while Jones left i t with her landlord. After that:theY called on Mrs. Mills, in Wootton street. That was about six o'clock. When they were in the parlour they sat down, and witness or Jones asked Mrs. Mills if she Would take any thing to drink, which she did eventual! Some gi n was fetched by Mrs. Mills' little girl. Jones gave the money to her. Believed that he gave her a ; some half- Pence were brought back in chang e , of which Jonesgave the gi r l a h a lf penn y. Mr. Mills came i n , and some. more en was sent for.' Jones also gave th e money at that time. Mr. Mills and Jones got i nto conversation about having been at sea, which lasted nearly an hour. • They left Mr. Mills, and went over Waterloo Brid g ev In order t o go t o t h e Ad e lphi. When they got there how :,:,, ever, the house w a s so full that they went to the Oly mp i ,c of which they w ent i nto th e gallery. Jones paid for both ; one piece p er f orme d was , " Casco Bay," another R , a J iece in which a bailiff was coming after a man for debt , who was tak en a t a supper -t a ble, lie had diguised himself 44 a footman, but was discovered and taken. They stayed till the perfermancee were over, arid then went into (lid Ship-yard, and had sqme a-la-made beef for supper, I Ley th en met t h e f ema l e w h om t h ey h a d see n on the Mon °'l4Y night, and went down Fleet-street to the same house iu POppin's-court together. They had something to dri nk It-the public-house. Jones paid for it. This house was also shut on that night, as it was past twelve o'clock. however, knocked, and it was opened to them. It 11 kept by Mr. Dale. The female left them, and they then went home together. [The witness here took a hearty '_ l lranght . of the water, which was provided for her, and ...47 1 werned again ready to swoon.] Ur.•11.0.a.s asked if she would wish to retire, she did and cried terribly in going out. The prisoner tremu ' • 41, 1 Y waved the paper in his hand, and a transient gleam • „feeling play ed round his sullen features, but it was mentary ; he requested a chair which was granted • 1131 ,-• and he -resumed the same apathetic corn- P u stWe , as before. -In a few minutes, however, the air recovered her, and she was again brought in though al- Most convulsively agitated.

The winds having continued easterly during the chief part •f the past week, the Imports of Grain were very trivial, but in the expectation of liberal supplies on a change of wind, purchases were made very sparingly of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, at last noted prices ;—the recent arrivals of fine Malt and Malting Barley from Norfolk and Suffolk have found a ready sale at our last quotations ;—in other articles there has not been much done, and no decided alteration can be noticed in the value thereof. Some further sales have been made of Flour in bond, for export to South America, at prices quoted, and there is now very little, if any, perfectly sweet remaining here for sale ; the value of Bonded Wheat continues as last noted. A change of wind has occurred since Saturday, admitting partial arrivals from Ireland, by which our supplies (of Oats particularly) have been considerably increased to this day's market, at which sales have been very limited. The Millers and Dealers, although bare of Stocks, deferred purchasing, waiting further arrivals, although a small decline was submitted to on Wheat, and fully ld. per 451 b. on Oats, excepting for the very finest qualities, which are still scarce ;—of all other articles in the Trade few sales were made, and we can make but very little alteration in the prices generally quoted this day week.

However, you must allow me to be thus explicit and candid, that it must in a great measure depend upon the extent of what will b e necessary to be done for your service, and how far my funds may be adequate, as well as my powers equal to allow that object.

In addition to those of the new Ministers whose names we gave yesterday, as having had audiences of the KING on Tuesday, the Earl of ABERDEEN and Lord ELLENBOROUGH were also in attendance at the Royal Lodge, to receive their new appointments. Their Lord ships travelled together, and were the first that arrived at the Royal ,Lodge.• The Duke of WELLINGTON followed soon after. Lord BEXLEY and Mr. BERRIES arrived to gether. The new Ministers remained at the Royal Lodge till near eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, expecting a Clerk of the Council to arrive, to enable them to hold a _ . Privy Council, but the orders for summoning a Council had .through some omission not been issued. The Minis .,tars did not arrive in London till ten o'clock at night, when the dinner given by the Duke of WELLINGTON had been kept waiting for three hours. , Mr. PEEL, Earl BA THURST, Viscount MEL VILLE, and Mr. GOULEURN, returned to town in the same carriage. None of the new Ministers took possession of their offices yesterday, not being yet authorized to act as such, in consequence of the neglect of summoning a Privy Council to assemble at the Royal Lodge on Tuesday, to swear them into office before the Kiwc in Council: the omission to summon a Council rests, it is understood, with the Home-office.

MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF CHATHAM AND ROCHESTER, ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRESSED INHABITANTS OF QUEENBOROUGH. On Monday evening a meeting of the inhabitants of.Chatham and Rochester and their vicinity, con vened by 'advertisements in the local papers and posting billsy was held in the large room of the Surr Tavern, at Chatham, for the purpose of taking into consideration the statements respecting the sufferings of the inhabitants Of Queenborough, and the mea sures which should be adopted on their behalf. Messrs. Breeze and Skey attended with several other inhabitants 'of Queenborough, having been sent for to give testimony as to the present condition of their brother freemen and inhabitants, and to make such explanations as might be deemed requisite by the meeting. JACOB GEORGE BRYANT, Esq., was called to the Chair. It was barely necessary to state, that in con sequence of the accounts which had appeared in the public journals of the distressed state of the inhabi tants of Queenborough, they had assembled in the character of neighbours and friends to examine how far these accounts were well-founded, and if, upon examination, they were satisfied of their truth, to make such exertions in favour of the sufferers as neighbours and friends ought to make for each other in every community where good and social feelings plevailed.—(Applause.)—Some of the inhabitants of Queenborough had been sent for, and he now in vited them as honest men to give full and explicit statements of the condition of their town.--(Hear.) —He called upon Mr. Breeze. Mr. BREEZE then rose. He assured them, that however the cases which had gone forth through the medium of the publie press might excite surprise, yet that they were understated. He then proceeded to describe the condition -of the borough. Much surprise had been expressed that the select body were tnabled to exercise so pernicious a degree of controul over their trade, and that the inhabitants were not able to sustain themselves against them. —This impression could only exist under the igno rance of the local situation of the town. The ma jority of the gentlemen present must be aware that it was insulated, and but little adapted for internal trade. It could only subsist by means of its fisheries. —(Hear.)—He then detailed the sufferings of the inhabitants as they had gradually, from 1820 to the present time, been cut off from their local resources, reduced from the situation of proprietors of their fisheries to the condition of mere labourers, and at length expelled from the enjoyment of their pro perty. Their character for loyalty stood high, and they had generally, from free choice, re turned to Parliament Representatives favour able to the principles of his Majesty's Government. —The aggressions made on their rights determin ed them, at the last election, to pro ve th a t th ey were yet unsubdued by the select body, and they accord ingly returned an independent candidate (Mr. Ca pel), too well known for his honest support of Lord Liverpool's Administration, to render any exposition of his political character necessary. The manner in which the independent exercise by the inhabitants of the right of free choice had been treated by their select body of corporate officers, was such as it was to be hoped would find no parallel in the worst of times or countries. He had a number of cases be fore him, written from the statements of the parties themselves, who were ready to prove them upon oath, and who desired that they should be made public. One was of Stephen Wood, a burgess.— When he went to ask permission to exercise his right of dredging for a livelihood, he was sworn at by the Mayor, who told him to go to his friend Ca pel, for whom he voted_ at the election, and let him help him. The Mayor further said, " that he would let them (meaning the unfortunate .dredger men) know who was master; he would humble them by poverty." When James Gaskin (who had a wife and four children) had pawned every thing, he went and strenuously solicited the Mayor for employment. The latter rejected him in these terms—" you, none of you who cannot relish my bye-law shall ever go to dredging as long as I live."—(Hear, hear.) — Another, named Wm. Boyce, who was reduced to the extremity of suffering common to them, solicited the Mayor to allow him to exercise his privilege.— The latter swore at him, and told him that he, as a burgess, had neither interest nor privilege. Boyce, however, once obtained permission to dredge from Mr. Marshall, another of the select body, who was then Mayor. But the Mayor's master, interfered, and was successful in excluding him. Mr. Breeze then mentioned another case, and said it was only ne cessary to offend against one of the select body, for the individual so offending to have all the municipal interest and power, whether legal or usurped, directed against him in his trade. Of this an instance was afiorded by the case of Charles Hall, a freeman of unimpeachable character, who laid out much money on a public-house, with the cognizance of the Mayor, and entered it upon the unexpired licence of his (Hall's) grandfather. When, however, the young man applied to the Mayor, upon the authority of a legal testimonial as to his good conduct and com petency from the clergyman, overseers, and church wardens, Mr. Greet absolutely refused it, though he acknowledged that he had nothing to say against his character. Mr. Breeze concluded by appealing to the meeting, whether prosperity could exist in a town so situated and under such control. He besought, as a favour to the inhabitants, that every case might be investigated.—(Applause.) Mr. MORSON observed, that it had been stated that the Mayor had advanced large sums of money to the town. Now the Meeting would be glad to know from Mr. Breeze whether the money so ad vanced was advanced in the shape of a charitable loan, or whether it was in reality an investment of capital advantageous to the Mayor ? Mr. BREEZE stated that the Mayor took .5/. per cent, for the use of his money, besides a poundage, which, in the character of Chamberlain, he received on all his disbursements out of the same fund.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. MORSON wished to know whether 10,0001. might not be employed to advantage in stocking the fisheries of the town with brood oysters, and whe ther when taken care of, they were adequate to the support of the town. Mr. BREEZE had no doubt of it. ' CHARLES HALL, the freeman, whose case was al luded to by Mr. Breeze, came forward and con firmed the statement respecting it. EDWARD SKEY, the fishermu, was then called upon by the Chairman, in hehalf of the meeting, to state his case to them. He addressed them to the following effect :—" Gentlemen, I can bear witness to you, that the misery of the inhabitants of Queen borough has arisen to such a pitch, that the like, I trust to God, cannot be found on the shores of England. What a contrast the town formerly presented to the present scene ! Then all was plenty, harmony, and comfort. Poverty was never known among us. We had enough for our families, and over and above; we had enough to stretch out with a helping hand to relieve our suffering fellow-:reatures, which we often did. Now, our fisheries are almost ruined, our little trade is cut up, and we starve, or we must beg. How could a town stand against such management ? I speak here where the nature of oyster fisheries is well known, and the advantage of their management for the common good is felt. I ask you how your fishery could go on if you had any one over you who had th e power or i nc li nat i on to s a y to y ou , " Yott shall on l y put your nets over i n suc h a m anner, and at such t i mes as I p l ease ?" How could y our com merce go on if any man was over you who wo u ld say to th e Captains whose ships frequent your waters, " You shall not anchor here, • unless you employ the men I please to point out to you. You shall not be freighted here unless I permit you ; only such vessels as I please shall carry your goods to hear.) —Not only on board we hear this, but on shore. What can be done in a town where a man can say, " Your house is an eye-sore to me; I will not give it a license," and shut it up ? Which of you would advance your capital there ? (Hear.)—There are individuals who would advance their principal there, but they are afraid. What we seek is not charity, but work. Idleness cannot be charged against us- by those who have driven us to beg. Gentlemen, I assure you we have not made known Half our suffering; we have not been willing to expose our misery to the public gaze, until it be came too great for endurance. But, great as it has been, more, I fear, is in reserve for us. Nothing but misery and beggary is before us, unless the Legis lature interfere. When I look at the condition of the fishery, which was more than sufficient for our subsistence, my heart aches at the scene. I was the individual that maintained the chartered right of the inhabitants to partake equally as proprietors of the fisheries about our town. No sooner did the select body begin to fear, from the verdict of a jury, that their usurped power would be taken away from them than they took up the young oysters and sold them off as fast as they could. I have heard shame cried upon them in the market, for taking up such brood, which we cannot replace . for money. Who, then, were the persons who cut up the goose to get at the golden eggs?—(( h eers.)—Notwithstanding our verdict, we are still kept out of our rights. No sooner does a man attempt to go to dredging, than a bye-law, of which some never before heard, is pulled out to the light against him. You have good bye-laws for your fisheries at Rochester, printed and hung up, that he who runs may read, and he wh o reads may understand, cannot conceive what it is to be sub jected to such a state of things as we are. The de cision of a court of law is by the select body treated with contempt. I did not bear it from one of them, but I heard it from their tools—" We don't care a 1820, in spit e o f y ou; an d l et no b o d y go t o dredg ing without his (the Mayor's) permission."' But a little while, and there will be nothing for which we can obtain permission to dredge. The oyster grounds are unattended to—the watch-boat is gone —valuable property is left unguarded, to go to ruin—and it is declared that the fisheries shall no more be stocked. What awaits us, then, but a scene of lengthened misery and desolation " Un less we sow, we cannot reap." From what we now endure, you may see what we have to look for. I could tell you many cases of the suffering now existing in our town, but one will suffice. While I was engaged in dispensing the charity which was subscribed for us by the good people in London, I called on Richard Rake, a seaman, whose bravery on behalf of his country was displayed in the cut tingeut service. H e con t racte d a di sease f rom t h e hardships he endured while in the service, and af terwards he was taken prisoner, fighting bravely to the last. When I entered his room, I was struck by his lofty countenance and his features, which were noble, though they were faded. He ex tended his scarred limbs and his large skele ton hands, that at once bespoke his heroism and his deep poverty, which made my heart to feel and my eyes to weep for him.—(Here Skey gave way to his feelings, and several other mariners pre sent wept.)—He said to me, showing me some of his wounds, " That was a better battle where I got these, but I never fought such a battle as this ?" And what was the battle he now fought ? Why, with poverty, with oppression, with cruelty, for his independence, for his honesty, which would not yield or injure the rights of his brother freemen.— (Loud cheers.)-1 took clown his and his wife's statement from their own mouths. Here it is, and I will read it to you in their own words:—." I was taken bad on the 22d of October, 1827. All the money I then had was 2s. 6d. to maintain myself with a wife very ailing, and three children. At the end of three days, I was drove to so much distress, that forced my wife to apply to the overseers for relief, which they refused without a Magistrate's order."—(Skey here observed, I hope the overseers will not be blamed, however, because I know they are so situated that they cannot act as they would.) —The wife then relates, " I then applied to the Chief Magistrate ; he answered me roughly,—he knew nothing about it; I again applied to the over seer without effect. Next day I went again, when he bid me attend the Town-house on Monday, for he could not give me an order. As they were so strict with him up aloft, he must be so, he said, with the people here." Could any thing be more cruel—more wilfully cruel—than such delay at such a time ?—(Hear, hear, hear.)—Her children and her husband were starving, and she was told to wait ! But she goes on to say, " Not know ing what to do on Sunday for a loaf, my children all crying around me with hunger, I was obliged to part with my wedding-ring to get one." What man is there here who does not know that the last thing a woman will part with is her wedding-ring ? (Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Speaking of the next man in power, she goes on to say, " I attended the Town house on Monday, when he roughly asked me, What is your business ?' I told him my husband was not able to work; at the same time saying, you know, Sir, he is bad. He immediately swore he'd be —if I should have relief, saying, You may go to your friends up aloft.' He further said, You must work to maintain your family.' I replied I was not able, as I had been ill ever since June. He said, you, you brought your poverty on your self. Why don't you have the doctor ?' I said, I had asked the overseers for one, and they de nied me. He then said that was not right, and the overseer present said I should have one; I was then so weak I fainted." Yes, Gentlemen, she fainted away in the open Court. What do you think of those who would use any woman thus, and unmoved witness her sufferings ?—(Hear, hear.)--- " When I returned home,.my children came crying around me for food, till a friend came in and saw our distress, and brought me a loaf and a quarter of a pound of butter, and sixpence, with which I bought a peck of coals. We had nothing more till the next day, when my poor aged Vner came in and brought me a loaf—the I:tst he had." The husband said, " The saint distress continued, so I was obliged to put away my clothes for a trifle, or starve. I was then advised to send for the doctor myself, as he had not been who wrote a note to the overseers stating my distress, which I carried, and was relieved with Bs., which is my weekly stipend; I have fought many battles for my King and coun try, but this was the hardest I ever fought. To starve in England, when I had so often bled in her cause, I thought hard. The second time my wife went to the Magistrates, Mrs. Greet came to the door, and said, " You foolish woman, go home and tell your husband to be a friend to himself, for it is not too late yet; for Mr. Greet will forgive him all he has done amiss, if he will bring two more to sign a paper, and then the oysters shall be laid for all hands.lt must be done this month, or it will be too late." How, gentlemen, did this poor man sustain himself against poverty, hunger, and disease, with death be fore him ? His wife will tell you—" When I came home I told my husband. He smiled, and said he would starve before he would sign his neigh bours' rights away, Signed, Richard and Mary Rake.' " " Here," exclaimed Skey, "is an Eng glishman! Here is heroism ! and I call upon you as true men to support it. This gives you a specimen of what we have endured. We can bring to light hidden things that would make a man stand or fall, Yet we have borne all; we have been patient; we love our country ; we love our King; we obey the laws ; we rely that they will protect our fisheries?' the property we received from our forefathersc— property confirmed to us by a munificent charter,--- property that we want to transmit to our as securing to th em th e b est rewar d we co uld pray full it boandunte coounstans Provt return for their free an idence to bestow upo d n t hein f -- a honest la. boar."—(Enthusi a sti c a ppl ause .) children Several of th e mee ti ng h ere ca ll ed upon Sk ey to state what was the nature of the paper Which the poor matt had been urged to sign, SKEY.—Here it is. I have got a copy We, the undersigned free burgesses of Qteenborough, do hereby acknowledge that we are conscious our con duct, for the last seven years, has been improper.-- (Laughter.) And now, to be reconciled to the select body of the corporation, we hereby engage to con form to the bye-law, dated the 24th of June, 1820, and also to conform to all such rules and regulations . as the select body shall deem it necessary to make." The reading of this paper created a considerable son sation in the meeting. Mr. NEWSON.—For the sake of truth, I wish to know of you, Skey, whether any one had the har dihood, the cruelty,—l will even say the rascality, —to avow themselves the author of that paper ? Mr. BREEZE said he could best answer that question. He heard that such a paper had been exhibited in the Town-house for the people to sign. He went there, and said to the sergeant at mace, " I understand you have a paper here which the people are to sign." " Yes," said the officer, " there it is." It was placed where official notices were always suspended. They had also seen a per son come with it in his hand from the house of the Mayor. Several of the meeting here declared they were quite satisfied. A number of questions were put by several other individuals to Skey, which he answered in a manner satisfactory to the meeting. The Mayor had threatened that he would sell the fisheries:, and stated that he knew one gentleman, a Mr. Austin, who would give 30,0001. or 40,0001. for them. Mr. E. WICKIIAIt then moved a resolution, de claring that from the statements presented to this meeting, it appeared that the inhabitants of Queens borough were in a state of great distress, which called for the exertions of the public in their behalf. Mr. G. ESSEL seconded the motion. A. ROBERTSON, Esq., an eminent surgeon, said his friend, Mr. Esse), had anticipated him in se conding the resolution. He (Mr. Robertson) had recently paid a visit to Queenborough to collect some bills, and he co u ld s p ea k as an eye - w i tness to the extreme distress which prevailed there. Per sons on whom he called, who were formerly in pro sperous circumstances, now said to him, " Instead of bills, you ought to give us bread and water." He went into the house of one poor mariner, whom he found reading Paley's Theologyover afire supported by the main-yard of his boat. This poor man, now re duced to the most severe suffering, was formerly in a situation to support himself in comfort. (Hear.) Mr. Robertson concluded by assuring the meeting that the eases and statements they had heard re specting the sufferings of the inhabitants of the bo rough were by no means exaggerated. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. H. PRENTIS, one of the corporation of Ro chester, moved that a subscription should be opened for the inhabitants of Queenborongh, and continue open till the 7th of February. Dr. W. A. DAVIES seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. JOYNES, a Magistrate of the county, in moving that a Committee should be formed, observed, that it had been suggested to him that such distress must come under the consideration of the overseers of the district, and that the overseers would grant relief. This, he could state, was by no means necessarily the case. He heartily wished that these poor men might be relieved by. some more powerful interference. 'Wm. BAKER, Esq., seconded the motion. Mr. WILKINS had recently gone to Queenbo rough professionally, and he could declare that the inhabitants would not long be i n a con di t i on to pay poor rates.—(Hear.) Upwards of 70/., chiefly in sovereigns and silver, were subscribed in the room. Mr. Best, the brewer, subscribed 10/. ; Mr. Cummin, the Recorder of Rochester, 21. The most unanimous feeling seemed to pervade the meeting. : SMITHFIELD s. s. Lowland Mead.

There are houses in this iaeigh; bourhood where papers are let out by the hour.— He said that'he must have something to read, and if she could not get a paper, she must get a b..ok. Went to a library at the corner of Webber-street ; did not know the name of the person who kept it; got 'a book from them, which she returned on the Saturday following. Said, when • she returned, that she could not get a Paper. Mrs. Williams opened the door, and let her in. It was the seoond time of going out that she got the book. When she returned the first time, some words passed be tween witness and Jones, and witness would not have any breakfast. Mrs. Williams was then present. Witne* asked Mrs. Williams to come to the fire. Jones said to witness, " if the woman is not well, why do you not let her sit where you do ?" Mni. Williams had told witness that she was not cold. The words arose about that, and not about any thing else. Mr. HALLS.--Did any thing pass about a paper before that. Witness said that he had complained about her not getting the paper. Mrs. Williams said that he could see one when be went out; but he did not go out till night, as witness got him a book. While he was at breakfast, witness took his coat from the floor to put it away, but did not recollect how it came on the floor. She took it up when it fell, and threw it on the bed, which was turned up. Saw the coat fall, and heard somethieg sound like halfpence in the pocket. Did not know what was in the pocket. Mrs. Williams went out and got some gin. Jones gave her some halfpence and a sixpence, and she got a quartern and a half. Jones and Mrs. W. drank it be.. tween them. Jones asked witness to take some, but she would not. Mrs. Williams had one glass full. Jones drank out of the first glass, and then drank the rest out of the mug. Went out several times in the course of the day for some necessary things, but did not go out at night She bad to wash on that day, and began before she took a pie to the baker's. Washed some of Jones's things, they were a shirt, a collar, a waistcoat, a pair of braces, and the yellow handkerchief before-men tioned. Washed nothing more of Jones's, but washed some of her own. In the evening Jones went out at about seven o'clock, and left witness, at home. He came back at a little past ten. This was on the Wednesday. This witness, who invariably called the prisoner Mr. Jones in her evidence, was continuing when we went to press. THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKEi'S.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.) ST.

Lord Normanby's domestic tragedy of THE SEar was produced last night at this theatre. The plot is simple— almost meagre ; but possesses the singular merit of dearness and conciseness. The following is a slight sketch o► it : Vladimir, a Russian Prince (Mr. Young) has been reared from childhood with Isidore (Mr. C. Kemble), who is his half brother by a female serf, and is, consequently, himself a serf or slave. The two youths, just preVious to the death of their father, travel together in Italy, where Isidore forms. an acquaintance with, and pledges his vows to, a Countess- Olga (Miss Jarman.) The play opens with his rettam home to Vladimir (who had arrived some time previously),, by whom he is cordially received, and who promises to give him his charter or acknowledgement of freedom, which his father had somewhat unaccountably forgotten. Unfor tunately, just at this crisis., the Countess Olga is invited to the Castle, when Vladimir learns, for the first time, that Isidore has been long and successfully at tached to her. Himself desperately in love with the same individual he of course resents his brother's presumption,. di he terms it, and instigated by Ossip, one of his most favourite serfs, is induced to degrade him to his original in significance, and even to clothe him in the livery of one of his own menials. Finding this unavailing, he resolves finally on banishing him for life to the mines, but the Countess Olga consenting (on condition that he should liberate Isidore) to become his wife, he reluctantly gives him his charter of freedom, after whie,b the brothers meet, and in a mutual paroxysm of shame—rage —remorse— an d hate,—fall by each other's swords.

There is not (a singular defi ciency in these "evil days" of the drama) a monster through .• out the piece. Ossip makes the nearest approach to one, bet even he—as we observed above—has redeeming points about him, and resolves to save the man who (though the object bi his deadliest rancour) had " wept beside his poor wife'. grave." This is a tou c h o f na t ure f e li c it ous l y thrown in by a man of taste and of the world. It is nearly as good is Lady Macbeth's " had he not resembled my father when he slept, I could have done the deed." But the whole tragedy is full of character. The proml, passionate, vet still loftytminded Vladimir„ is impressively contrasted: with the more sensitive, elegant, and chivalrous Isidore.
