SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. Lord Nugent has published a letter to his consti. thetas of Aylesbury, on the formation of Brunswick Clubs, which is, in our mind, calculated to excite a strong interest, and to produce at this moment much . benefit to the cause of liberty, peace, and political justice: lino arguments can be found in defence of an injured people but such as have already been urged upon the attention of ignorant or ungenerous men, without that effect which has invariably flowed from them-when addressed to the understandings of the in telligent and upright, the reproach does not rest with the subject itself, or with those who reiterate their appeals upon it to the community, but ought to fall upon the ears which hear not, and the eves which will not see. At a time when the legislatiVe and executive powers of the country require to be strength ened at home, that they may not wither beneath the diversified assaults of foreigners, the Cumberland Clubs meditate,' and almost profess, no object but that of fettering the hands of Government, and depri ving it of all free action upon one great measure of fundamental and enduring policy ; and that the very measure upon which hangs the question of national tranquillity, or of civil war. At a time, also, when contemporary States—those States with which the British emrffre is brought by local or moral causes into more immediate and more anxious contact, - than with arty others on earth,—when the new world from north to south is alive with liberty, and when our assest neighbours—namely, France and Holland-- have illustrated the most sacred principles of good government by institutions the most protective of the rights of conscience, and the most subservient to those great ends in which all subjects of one Sove reign have a common and indefeasible interest—this accursed spirit of grasping monopoly, under the guise of bigotry, redoubles its foul exertions, to de grade Old England front her glorious eminence above even the noblest of enlightened and still.im proving nations, into a sympathy with the meanest, and an equality with the most barbarous and rude. If such persons as the Duke of Newcastle and Lerd Winchelsea believe their own noisy asseverations — that the Constitution in its . present state is " perfect"—that the - Parliament is "perfect," as a Representativeof the people--which term, with the owner of half a dozen boroughs, invariably means the " Aristocracy," if, we say, these Tory Noble s men tell truth,—if they are not hypocritical and de ceitful knaves, when they assure us that we have a Constitution which cannot be amended, and a Par liament which needs no reform, why can they not leave that admirable Constitution to take care of it self, and that unmendable Parliament to enact or re peal whatever laws may seem best to its consummate purity and wisdom ? Why give the .broad lie to their beautiful panegyrics, by calling for this new Club-law as a rider upon the Constitution, and bridling their own Parliament by a Cumberland police ? We trust and pray that the monstrous violence projected against the sound arid venerable Constitution of England by aset of madmen, as little conversant with its solid principles as - with its prac tical defer ts, may on Friday next receive from the men of Kent a rebuke so absolute and signal, as to discourage all future efforts to 'imitate the wild -ex ample. We do earnestly adjure, in the precious name of patriotism, every enlightened and honest inhabitant of that fine county, the classic ground of England, to canvass, and persuade, and accompany, as many of his friends as he can draw together on the appointed day. One of the most illustrious of the Peerage, Lord Camden, the generous and noble minded Lord who first gave up an enormous income and next a long-cherished prejudice for conscience sake—Lord Camden, we rejoice to hear, will en courage the friends of civil liberty by his presence on Penenden-heath next Friday ; and as we know him for more than thirty years to have aananly heart within him ; we can answer for it that Lord Camden • will not flinch from any duty which even the outrage of others, if outrage be intended, may impose upon him. There arc several noblemen besides Lord Camden, and innumerable gentlemen, with property ni Kent, Lord Darnley in the foremost rank of them, whore attendance will be demanded on that trying occasion by their country. No decision can be too early, no determination too resolute, no resistance too uncompromising whereby to mark the utter abhorrence of all thinking Englishmen for the plot against re ligious liberty, which its authors have threatened to execute on Friday the 24th of October. The Dis senters are appealed to by some of our cotemporm les, as having a peculiar obligation to fulfil by their as sembly on ,Penenden-heath. Of course, if the sewers exhibit a lukewartuness to the interests of that cause, on behalf of which they clamoured so loudly when it was their personal concern, they will show themselves equally an ungrateful and ignomini eussrace. But our call is made upon the members qf ie aural of England and her advocates. It is as eager-children of that revered and admirable parent, that we beseech our own brethren to move forward one and all for her security. It is - indeed, as devoted members of the Established - Church, that we have chiefly—we had almost said exclusively—advocated and pressed the necessity of Catholic emancipation. The Church of England never can be safe, while she is regarded by seven millions of the King's subjects as their selfish and only persecutor. The Church cannot hope for that peace, without which she can never flourish, while the whole empire is disturbed by the cries of one-third of its subjects for a redress of grievances alleged to originate with her. The Church of England established in the sister island is there endangered by the unnatural league of Catho licZtulii o laymen with t h e Ca tholiepriesthood,—a league of which the implied condition, if it-endure much longer, th breake A s s d o o t will be unquestionably this-" 13 91 Y tor will say to the hierarchy," 613 the monopoly of civil power, and we will attack, for your sakes, the monopoly of the established church." Hasten, then, —we conclude with - ploring the Protestants of En g land—hasten, by Lie talisman of emancipation, to dissolve this terribl e alliance. Invite the Catholic gentleman to his share of the constitution, and the priest will soon be sent about his business. Thus, while emancipation is withheld from Ireland, there exists a power whiCh threatens to assault the established church, and the moment .of granting that great boon will be the commencement of an union between .all classes of laymen to undermine the Romatt Catholic hierarchy. It is, it, the mean time, curious and satisfactory to observe the gradual weaning of the very fiercest Orange leaders in Ireland from - the bad cause which they have hitherto _lived only to promote. Lord Gort has half read his recantation at Limerick, an "(mincing, in language not equivocal, that he ap proves of a bill of emancipation, which be under stands the King's Ministers to have actually pre pared, as one which will be likely to satisfy both Pro testant and Catholic. We might, perhaps, look with some suspicion . at any measure of relief to Catholics which 'an old Orangeman like Lord Gort would applaud. But be that as it may, the Cum berland-Kent - m e " must now perceive that.their new Club-scheme is nothing bett er t h an to d evour t h e stale garbage which the more decent of even their Irish colleagues arc rejecting , ---Time s . We have already alluded to the extraordinary ex ertions of the Brunswickers in Kent to obtain a ma jority at the meeting at Maidstone, on Piiday text. It is understood that a rumber of Peers and distin guished Commoners, opposed to the object of the meeting, will attend ; and that an Amendment to the Resolutions will he moved by the Marquess o f Camden, and seconded by Earl Darnley. Among those who intend to be present at the meeting and to oppose the Resolutions, besides the above Noble= men, are Lords Holland, 'natter, Jersey, Cowper, Sondes, Radnor (late Lord Folkstone), Ashburn ham, Teynhavo ; and Messrs. Bating, Calcraft, and A. Smith. It is natural_ to infer, when the Brunswickers had their choice of all England for a commencement, they had their particular rea sons for beginning with Kent. In planning an invasion, the points most favourable for attack will nsturally be selected ; and 'where a ;General has the choice of his field of battle, he will naturally occupy the ground most favourable for himself, and ' least favourable forhiS . opponent. We may presume, therefore, that the Cumberland Council saw advan. tages in opening their campaign ie Kent which they did nut perceive elsewhere. This is allowing them only to possess the most ordinary foresight. Whether this anticipation of success is flattering to the County of Kent, is a problem not very difficult of solution. The circumstances which determined the Bruns wickers to begin with Kent, were probably the po sition of its towns, which are mostly situated . at its extremities, along the river and coast. It contains, too, a large proportion of the Church Militant in Canterbury and Rochester, and the two Chapters: of these cities must possess considerable influence. A very great proportion of the county is without great towns, and has little communication with the busy world. These, probably, have been the cir cumstances which determined the bigots to select Kent .0 their first attempt. Their zeal has, ac cording to all accounts, been very great ; while we are sorry. to say that of the Liberals haS been less marked, and we need not remtuk that mere speeches will not serve to counterbalance numerical force. We trust the liberal men of Kent, of whom there must be numbers, will see the necessity of making a sacrifice to rescue the county from the compliment intended for it by the selection of the Brunswickers. It is well known tha the great towns (and in every country intelligence and independence are chiefly to be fennd in the great towns) are hostile to the Bruns• wickers,. in the proportion of 6 to I. We may, therefore, say that the Brunswickers can only hope to succeed in agricultural districts, where the aristo cracy and clergy bestride an ignorant and prejudiced peasantry , When,an appeal is made to ignorance and prejudices, remote and inaccessible places are usually selected. Thus, durin g the Re volution, La Vendee and Briton) , were selected for insurrection, as being the provinces most distin guished for stupidity and ignorance. Thus, in the Rebellions of 1715 and 1745, the Highlands of Scot land were selected for a similar cause. No doubt the BrUnswickers•hope that the Wealds of Kent, having little intercourse with the rest of the country, will be to them, on this occasion, another Vendee, and enable greedy and persecuting High Churchmen and mercenary Tories, availing themselves of the slavish dependants and ignorant louts, abounding in that " prostration of the will and understanding" which his Grace of Canterbury so much extols, to trample on the rights of their unfortunate fellow-countrymen, and continue a system of persecution disgraceful to the age aud the British name. Surely the liberal in • habitants of Kent, notwithstanding their distance from the place of meeting, will not hesitate to make the sacrifice now demanded of them, but flock to the scene of action, to baffle bigotry counting on their in action. Do not let - it be hereafter said, that Kent is the most bigotted, prejudiced, and priest-ridden county of all England. Those men who have con stantly Reformation and Protestant principles in their mouths are strangers to the spirit of the Reforma tion, they are Catholics in their heart. They seek to wound Protestantism by representing it as unable to protect itself without the aid of penal laws. Their Protestantism is tithes—their Reformation principles are fat livings. It is a base and selfish juggle. They regard not at what expence of national honour and national prosperity they carry:their object.—Morn ing Chronicle. - Some of our contemporaries are expressing un- . bounded joy at the sudden fall in the price of corn. The Courier is in raptures—,even our sensible friend, the Standard, is overjoyed—the Globe is quite inebriated with delight--and all the small fry of London politicians are (lancing attitudes to the tune of declining prices. This, in our opinion, is Most melancholy mirth, not that cheap corn is an evil verse, but that the cause of its apparent cheap ness is produced by• nay thing but gratifying cir cumstances. For the last few seasons the farmers have been repaid for their toil by little else than the curse of Adam—the sweat of their own brows. This season they have had a deficient crop, and they ' were entitled to a rise in price corresponding with this deficiency. This, however, it is now plain, they 1011 not enjoy. And for what reason? - Gold is going out of the country—Mr. Peel's Bill is coming into operation—they are poor, and cannot hold their stocks—the bankers are circumspect, and cannot favour them ‘vith advances--consequently; the price of corn must fall, and a panic ensue.- - - Within the last few days the following quantitieS of coin and bullion have been shipped for the Conti ' of Magisttates, interested in all probability in the subject before them, shall shut out the - Very peti tioners themselves from hearing the discussion and decision oh their own complaint ? Even the Middle- sex Justices, those proverbial models of polity,-have ;abolished the practice of discussing the public con cerns of the county with dosed doors ; tui• example which we regret to see the Magistrates of a neigh bouring county so slow to follow. How often must we impress upon all whom it may concern that public affairs are piddle property ; and that truth, honour, and honesty, have nothing to conceal ?—/bid, A few days ago we gave some extracts from a fur ther Report of the Commissioners appointed to in quire into the state of the law in Demerara, Berbice, and our South American Colonies; and there were three or four points in them - which may be usefully brought - back to the recollection of our readers, without any very particular remarks to accompany them. First, it appears, that where the crime of for goy has been proved, it is " discretionary ?' in the Court whether or not such offence shall be pu nished " capitally ;" - and the Commissioners, with much unsophisticated simplicity, add, that the offence appears to be there punishable with "much less" Severity than in England. ; Secondly, the laws of those Colonies make a married woman responsible for the crimes she may commit, though committed in the presence and under the influence of her hus band. Thirdly, in Demerara and Berhice there are regulations respecting imprisoned debtors that might be usefully adopted nearer home. At Demerara the imprisoned debtor must be supplied with one guilder per diem fiw his maintenance, to be paid by the cre ditor at whose suit the party is imprisoned--and at Berbice the imprisoning creditor must pay. the ex pease of supplying in the prison a separate apart ' went for the debtor. Without pretending to say that our Slave Colonies have arrived at a higher de gree of moral excellence than the mother country, there may be those who think that - such regulations are somewhat salutary checks on the occasionally vindictive feelings of disappointed creditors, who, let it always be borne in mind, have had the option to give credit or not to give credit. Comment on the difference between the laws of two parts of the same kingdom, on - the same important question, may be unnecessary ; only the calamitous reflection is, that the balance of opinion in all Christian, and consequently humane and just minds, is not unlikely to be rather against the parent . country. And, fourthly, as if the humiliation resulting from the contrast between the two countries, obeying the same Sovereign, were not sufficievaly striking, then comes a little . commentary for the benefit of those sensitive per sons who are so alive to the sufferings of The blacks, but who breathe 110 censure regarding even the imaginary wrongs of the whites nearer home. — The same report tells us that - even in the slave workhouses the healthy parties are only required to work from six to nine, then to have one hour for breakfast ; then to work till one, when there is cote hour for dinner; and, having worked from two till five o'clock, he day's work is finished. Let these four points be fairly considered, and if they be duly investigated, and if the condition of our own la bourers and peasantry—saying nothing of the Cre ditor and Debtor Laws—he duly remembered, can it be said that we have not much to do at home ?

As St. Thomas's Day is not far distant, we trust that such of the citizens of London as have a voice in the election of the Common Council for the dif ferent Wards will keep their eyes steadily fixed upon the proceedings of their present representatives re lative to the proposed sale of the office of Secondary. We do not, nor; we believe, does the public, hold the Civic Parliament in any very high repute; and that principally for this reason, that they are ever the loudest bowlers for every reform unconnected with themselves, while they cling to the abuses of their own body with a zeal which furnishes the best test of their judgment, their integrity, and sincerity. —True to the principle that " Charity begins at home," they forget that reform should do so too; and that the world is not so etupid or so blind as not to see and to despise those who preach a doctrine which they have not the virtue or the courage to practise. If the Civic Body think these remarks too severe, they have an opportunity of redeeming themselves from their affect by their conduct upon the occasion in quest io n . If the y d o-not, t h e wor ld will be apt to ledge of them more severely even than we do. After what we have said upon the subject itself, we do not mean to enlarge upon it here. .

Mr. Chickely, a clergyman of the Established Church, was brought up from the round-house, at Peckham, by Lewis, the .con stable, charged with being intoxicated, and, while in that condition, using abusive language to the Rev. C. A. Richardson, the proprietor of an academy at Peckham. Lewis stated, that. on Saturday night, betwee❑ 11 and 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of Peckham were alarmed by cries of murder, proceeding from the house of the Rev. Mr. Richardson, in that village. The uproar induced him (Lewis) to go and see what was the matter, and on his arrival there he saw the complsinaiit at the front drawing-room, who en treated him to enter the house, describing that the defendant . was drunk, and, that he threatened to commit personal violence on those Nvho interfered for the purpose of ejecting him from the house into which he had intruded himself. Lewis added, that he obtained admittance into the house, and in the parlour saw the defendant, who seemed to be in a very high state of excitement. He stamped, and cursed a good deal, and appeared to be in a pas 7 sion with the complainant, who forthwith gave him into custody, on the charge above-mentioned. The Rev. Mr. Richardson stated, that he admitted the defendant to reside in his house, in consequence of his wife living with him (the complainant) in the capacity of housekeeper. The defendant had re sided in the house about-five months, and he (the complainant) had only latterly ascertained that he was in the habit of keeping late hours, and getting drunk. The circumstance of his leading such a dis sipated life-was kept a profound secret from all in the house except his wife, who was .in the habit of let ting him in at the unseasonable-hours he kept. The Rev. complainant then proceeded to describe the cir cumstances that led to the rupture between him and the Rev. defendant. Some time since he, the.com plainant, read an account of a clergyman who gave the name of Ellis being brought up to Union-hall for drunken 'and riotous behaviour in the street. Knowing the defendant to have absented himself from home on the night in question, it immediately occurred to him that he was the person alluded to in the report, and that - he had given a fictitious name in order to guard the exposure that was likely to fol low from his conduct. He (complainant), however, did not notice his suspicions until, upon a very recent occasion, he also read another report is the news papers similar in. substance to the former, stating that the defendant gave his name Ellis, and describ ing that he was a clergyman, and proprietor of a school at Peckham. When this second report appeared, he (the complainant) felt convinced the defendant was the individual who disgraced himself on these occasions, and in the course of the day on which the account appeared, his suspicions were fully con firmed by some individuals belonging to Peckham, who were present when he was taken before the Magistrates. Upon this confirmation, he (com plainant) was determined that the defendant should not remain longer on his premises, and on Friday last directed him to quit his house. The defendant left the house in the course of Friday, and on Satur day night complainant having occasion to 'go into the kitchen, he was surprised on seeing him there ; and on expressing his astonishment to the - defendant, the latter broke forth into a passion, and condncted himself with great violence ; so much so, that he (complainant) and several of the inmates, his pupils, were obliged to take refuge in the drawing-room. The complainant added, that he called aloud for as sistance, when Lewis the constable appeared, into whose custody he gave the defendant. Mr. HONE (to the defendant)—You were in cus tody at this office about a week or ten days ago, if I am not mistaken, on a cbaige Of being drunk, and with having assaulted a watchman of St. Saviour's parish, - for endeavouring to prevail on you to desist from kicking at a licensed victualler's door-between eleven and twelve o'clock. Defendant—l admit that I hare been here before. Mr. HONE—On the last occasion you were here you described your name to be and when I asked you whether you were in orders, you denied that fact. I ask you now whether you arc a clergy man Defendant—l am.a graduate of Oxford and a clergyman of the established church. . Mr. HONE—Then you have disgraced the sacred profession to which you belong. Defendant--Mr. Richardson has asserted a falsehood with regard to my having been intoxicated on Saturday night. The defendant then commenced in a strain of invective against the moral character of the complainant, al leging that that individual had made several attempts on the chastity of his (defendant's) wife, while she was in the capacity of his housekeeper. The complainant repelled the accusation, declaring that there was not one word of truth in the,astertion. The defendant repeated, that his wife would verify what he had alleged. Mr. HONE put an end to the recrimination between the parties by observing, that had nothing whatever to do with the altercation now between them. The question was, whether the defendant was drunk on the night in question, and while in that state, whether he had committed a breach of the peace. The defendant exclaimed in a loud tone, " I de clare to God 1 was not drunk on Saturday night : all I drank was three half pints of porter." Mr. nom; (to the complainant).—Can you swear that the defendant was drunk on that night Complainant--I cannot take upon myself to swear that he was drunk, but his language was gross and abominable in the extreme. . The defendant again attacked the complainant, whom he designated a drunkard, and declared that he had often assisted him to bed of a night, when he was unable to find his way to his bed-room from intoxication. Mr. HONE (to Lewis, the constable) —Can you stale whether the defendant was drunk when you took him in charge ? Lewis--I cannot, Sir :he seemed to be in a passion, but I don't think he was drunk, although the Rev. Mr. Richardson made the charge in the manner it is entered in my book. Mr. HONE—As yet there has been no case alleged against the defendant that I can deal with. Has he assaulted any person ?—Complainant replied that he had not. • . The defendant declared that he was not drunk; neither had he assaulted any person. This proceeding was adopted, he said, to persecute him. The defendant was then set at liberty.

This case came on for hearing on Friday last, The Court was occupied throughout that day, the succeeding one, acid nearly the whole of yesterday; in the arguments of Counsel. It was a petition from some creditors of the Romford Bank (the firm of Joyner and Co.), praying the removal of the pre sent assignees, and an inquiry into their conduct during the period Of their tnanagemcnt of the bank upts' estate. The petitioner; alleged—and this is one of the most material allegations—that after a verdict for 3,0001. had been obtained, by the assignees of the bankrupts, against Mr.'John Eaton Joyner, one of the partners in the banking establishment, for a debt due to the joint estate, that afterwards they com promised that debt, agreeing to take in lieu thereof the sum of one thortsand pounds, and the rever sion of eight hundred pounds;' all this was done, it was said, without the consent of the greet botl3 , of creditors. Another allegation contained in thepetition was, that the assignees had compromised in a similar manner a debt due from the estate of Messrs. Park and Howard, London.. The amount of the debt in question was 3,800/., for which, it was al leged, a smaller sum was taken. Other acts of the assignees, the petitioners - alleged, injurious to the creditors of the bankrupts, had been done by them. One was, that debts due from the separate estate of one of the bankrupts, to the joint estate of the banking concern, had not been collected. ,Another allegation stated, that a relation of one of the bank rupts, named Turner, had received a sum of 600/., the fell amount of his demand, whilst other credi tors had nut received their dividends, it was like wise alleged by the petitioners that the furniture and plate belonging to one of the bankrupts had been voted to him by a small minority of creditors, the amount 'of whose united claims being only 18,0001.; the whole amount of the debts owing by the bankrupts - being upwards of 80,0001. The peti tioners also alleged that, on the very eve of bank ruptcy, 600/. was settled on the wife of one of the bankers ; that 3691. was given the bankrupts after the issuing of the commission ; and that between 3001. and 400/. had been improperly advanced to the solicitors engaged in the proceedings. The Learned Counsel who appeared for the peti tioners contended that the assignees had acted, throughout their proceedings, in defiance of the Act of Parliament under which they possessed their au thority; and that, although they might be actuated by the most honourable conduct, nevertheless, as it was a violation of the Sratu!e, they were account able for their misconduct, and that the prayers of the petitioners must be acceded to as a matter of course. It was admitted by the leading Counsel (Mr. BICKERSTETII) for the assignees, that his clients had not been sufficiently guarded in their manage - ment, nor had they attended so strictly to the tech nicalities of the Statute as they, perhaps, ought : bnt they had been actuated by the most honourable motives, and had discharged their trust with the utmost integrity, and to the best of their judgment. for the ultimate benefit of the creditors. Mr. JACOB followed on the same side. After .which Mr. SUGDE replied. The VICE-CHANCELLOR should like to know what property remained belonging to the bankrupts' estate—seeing the dividendS already paid amount ed AO fifteen shillings in the pound, before he pronounced judgment. In the mean time he would take the papers home with him, and in a short time. would intimate on what day he should deliver judg ment. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OcT. 20. BREACH OF CONTRACT. ORCHARD V. HORNER, This was an action brought to recover compensa tion in damages for a breach of contract. Mr. GURNEY (with whom was Mr. CuttwooD) stated that the plaintiff and his wife had been in the service of a Dr. Mealtrfor two years, and had given great satisfaction. In December, last year, the de fendant, who is the proprietor of the Coliseum, in the Regent's Park, applied to Dr. Heald for the character of the plaintiff and his wife, as he wished to take them into his service. Dr. Heald gave them the good character they deserved, and the defendant engaged them immediately for a year, at the rate of 40/. wages for that period; and in the same month of December last they entered defendant's service : the husband as groom, and, the wife as keeper of the lodge. On the 9th of February following, the de fendant, without a moment's warning, ordered them to quit his s service, turdoffered them tor the time they had service. a about 161. plain tiff, ' however, insisted that as he was thus dismissed scll been his at a moment's warning, without any misconduct on his part, he was entitled to at least an additional quarter's wages. This the defendant refused to pay, and therefore it became necessary to bring this action), and he considered it as clear that the plain tiff was at least entitled to an additional month's wages, and he hoped his Lordship and the Jury would be of opinion that he was still entitled - to three months' wages, especially as no misconduct was alleged, and the dismissal appeared to be •a whim of the defendant. No direct proof of the contract was given. Plaintiff nonsuited. COAL TRADE. CAIPEL V. TIM/at:TON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a coal-merchant, against Mrs. Thornton, a lady resi ding in the vicinity of the Regent's Park, for the price of two several quantities of coals, amounting to 181. each, supplied to her by the plaintiff. Plaintiff nonsuited. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Our. '2O. THE KING V. NORTHOUSE AND ANOTHER. Mr DUNS, the Counsel for the defendant North ouse, moved the Court to postpone this case to the adjournment day, on the ground of the absence of a material and necessary witness, who was Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P. it was an indictment preferred by a Mr. Baldwin 'against the defendante for a con spiracy to obtain money Under false preteriees-- namely, by inducing the prosecutor to sub scribe to a newspaper, called the London Frce Press, on the strength of their representations that Mr. Hume and Colonel Jones, late of the Guards, were each proprietors of .5001. shares in the Free Press, and that Mr. Hume also had . an additional share of 1001. in the name of Mr. Miller, the secre tary. The Learned Counsel produced an affidavit, stating that repeated inquiries had been made at the house of Mr. Hume, and that the defendants had been unable to serve him with a subpeena, being in formed he was out of town. Mr. PHILLIPS was concerned for the prosecutor, and did not feel it would be fair to oppose the mo tion. The CHAIRMAN hoped there was no collusion.-- He did not like to see the prosecutor so ready to accommodate the defendant. Mr. PHILLIPS must go still further than to afford an accommodation; for the truth was, th at Hume was a necessary witness'fot the prosecution. Mr. ALLEY was engaged for the second de fendant, and lie resisted the motion peremptorily. Mr. DUNN was conscious that no verdict could be obtained against his chant in, the absence of Mr. Htim:.ish to escape;bu Ait r .No in rti t io h u at se, as a gentleman, did not way. His obi ee t was to obtain an honourable acquittal on fnll investi gation. After some further discussion, the Chairman con sented to postpone the case to thinpxt Sessions.

ALLEGED MURDER IN THE COUtal KILDARE. DUBLIN, ;*_svi - tittmv.—A most mysteriotn. C entrence took place on Wednesday eveningiast, !'• Newbridge, near the town of Naas, county Kildiet.' A very respectable fanner, named Coffey, npi r of 70 years of age, was found dead in his bed, Wit, apparent marks of violence on the side of his,liec. lie had been, on the preceding evening, at dinner a friend's house in the neighbourhood, and had ft' turned home about eight o'clock that night, It 1 6 remarked, that though he had indulged a little in the • pleasures of the table, he was by no means briated ; but was, on the contrary, quite eollecteu!' and in full possession of his faculties. When the report of his dean b spread abroad, some allsPiewl was excited as to its cause, in conseqnence of , cumstainces which had occurred in his family:dell the last few months. 'I he deceased, about 21 ye i r' ago, had married, the widow of a Mr. M`Loghlo who had left several children by. her. Towne these eh Idren Coffey acted tile prt of it' paret4i three of them were daughters, wlient he peritipel and married comfortably in the neighbourhOl The eldest of the children, a boy, he educate,. and by his influence procured for him a situationL . one of the Government offices in the Castle of Dor lin, which the young man filled until the cessatil, of the war. At the reduction which then tO place, he wins amongst those dismissed from office.'' and on . his return to Newbridge he found an asylo w: in his s It so happened that I ° t ' terly so t 2e -fhe differences i house.c esarse between them .arid the wife of Coffey had a marked partiality for son, she evinced considerable interest in his favor, in the disputes which occurred. A question regal ing some pecuniary matter between Coffey and son, Charles M'Loghlin, was referred to arbitratOr Major Tandy was appointed as umpire. The 1 1 mate decision was unfavourable to the claims young M'Loglilin. This is all that is known specting the differences between them, and it is just to add that the character of Mr.. Charl,: M'Loghlin, whilst a resident in Dublin, stood 14 4 and was quite at variance with the piobabill. l t, that he would be guilty of any dishonourabl; not to say atrocious deed. He had been engage , ' some five years since, in an affair of heal with a well•known gentleman of the name O'Meara, on which occasion he was severe', wounded in the groin. • His gentlemanly meanour and rectitude of principle in that agl , obtained for him the sympathy and respect every one acquainted with the transaction. Notice of the death of Coffey, and the circumstances tending it, were forthwith transmitted to one of the Ceroners for the county of Kildare; but the bl remained two entire days before an inquest was he' upon it. At length the Coroner arrived, and I I : investigation was com mence d. I n th e mean 6° 3 : every individual who h a d b een res id ent i n t h e hang s: Coffey's wife;his step-son, his relations' and servan t ' were all taken into custody, and transmitted t f Naas gaol. In accounting f o r th e d eat h o f Mr. GO': fry, the people resident in the house allege, ti l t having become sick in the course of the night, must have fallen out of the bed upon his.head, an that the injury on the neck was occasioned by contusion from the fall. A surgeon, who examined the body, : gave it 8 :4 his opinion that the wound resembles one inflict. by the blow of a hatchet, or some such sliagfo lv strument. These are the authentic particulars, so far P 6 ~„ could collect them, respecting this transaction. 1 rious rumours are afloat as to the result of the Or miler's inquest. It is stated, that last night a / er , diet of " Wilful Murder" was found by the Prf ;T•aitist the prisoner Charles M'Logblin, .and mother Mrs. Coffey.
