BIRMINGHAM MAGISTRATES. r:oTtet. " We, the Magistrates acting for the'tOWn and neighbour hoed of Birmingham, were much concerned to find, thet on Monday evening some of the inhabitants, misled by seditious and ill-disposed persons, and especially by some recent 'pub lications, mischievously Orenlated, showed an inclination .to riot and disturbance, and pitieeeded to acts of violenee on the shop and house of Mr. dabvt, a very loyal and respectable printer, who, with the most laudable views, had published letter wtitten by a gentleman in Lancashire, the sole ten dency of which was to preserve peace and order in the Ling dom. We indeed had hoped, that we should have to boast of the peaceable and orderly conduct of all the inhabitants of this town ; and, having by prompt exertions quelled the dis turbances, still flatter ourselves that we shall not have again to lament similar outrages. We are, however, determined on all occasions to put the law strictly in force against every.tlis. *tuber of the public peace, athl intend to have a large body of special constables e!‘enpopted of the principal inhabitants, who have declared their readiness to act) always at hand to assist ns ; neither will we neglect the aid of the military, under the confront of the civil power, are strictly legal preservers of the peace. .4 W. lIICKS, " B.

" rlxc jiwasa: convenitmt is facetiously recorded of an honest ilibernien traveller,. that having, on a long and irksome journey, found a plea sant piece of road, he proposed to hitt companion to wall; it . over again. This proceeding of the worthy tourist, though somewhat calculated to delay his progress, was undoehlr;dly conducive la his itumediate.,AWayments. „It is upon this. principle, we presume, that certain droves of pitlizi,:iatts in this country (reinforced, perhaps, from the sister island) are, at this moment, pacing over the ground so thoroughly trodden at the commencement of the French heroin thin. Sickened with the uniformity of that tedious ty• runny through which their path of perfectaltility lay, the Jacobin admirers of Buonaparte have turned on (lair heel into the beaten track of the rights of matt.

Many of the amusing absurdities of those days survive only in the pungent wit, and useful raillery, of time doti-Jorobiii. Some of the most celebrated contri butors to that admirable Journal have long quitted the steeps of Pornassus for the summits of political renown; but their example will still serve to guide t h e mirthful satire of infinitely inferior bards, who may feel inclined to point a sportive lest at revived follies.

The fOltowing 3readitil particulars enticerhing the marder of late Mr. FRIZBLL (see Tua st, „t Oct. 28), of Broad Stairs, in the.cotiuty of Wexfard. has reached us from very respectable authority : Of ) the evening of the 20th Mr. Frizell Was sitting quietly at hi. lice-side. Whilst his house keeper was making tea, the room d oo r was sa d_ golly opened, and a man of very large stature, eluvered with it white sheet, and his her blacken- AI, walked odtaneing towards Mr. Fri.. tell, williont saving one u orut, fired at him, and wounded him in the arm. Mr. Frizell immediately tell upon his knees, and implored the assassin to spare :his life. •Another 111411, disguised in the same manlier, then entered the room, And fired with bet ter tifeet. Mr. Frizell being shot through the body fell upon the ground. Both the murderers then retired from the house to load their muskets ; after which, with several of their comrades, they returned, and the whole party fired a volley at the huffy—for by this time Mr. Ftizell was a corpse. Nur 'satisfieti with taking his life, those horrid Miscreants so ill-treated his - remains, that it was almost impossible to reeogniAe a human counte nance. They rook from the body a watch, which he Was ht the act of winding up when they entered, and also thirteen pounds in money, which he had a few moments before received as rent., A man and a boy, who were the only twile inhabitants in the house, fled ; the former cm:coiled himself in an out-house, from which he saw the whole of the a hove-nlcutioned procuedinp, atilt heard the conversation of the assassins, who remained drinking upwards of an hour in the house after the murder. About two hours afterwards several of Mr. Frizell's tenants came to the house, and remained there all night, drinking their land lord's liquor in the very room • where lay his mutilated remains, without any attempt to par sue the murderers.; and they never took the trouble of . even conveying the slightest infor mation of the murderous deed which had oc curred, to any of the neighbouring Gentry.— The High Constable was accidentally passing next day by. t he house, and sering many people col lected together, inquired the cause, and was the means of making it first known. Several Magi strates and Gentlenteu immediately visited the place; and although a very minute investigation into all the circumstances was instituted, we are sorry to hear that so satisfactory information WUS acquired. 'Mr. Frizell wits it•gentlemati possessed of a property of about 8001.:a-year, and had lately come to the country. He hod determined upon nistking it his future residence ; and, intending tO build, had given warning to some of the tenants to give him up their laud at Christmas, which is the supposed cruise of his inurder.

It was as follows :—" Christian Coleman gave me the stab : he ftrst came towards mewith a knife, I gave him a box on the ear tokeep him off, and to prevent him from using it, but it had not the desired effect.'' the Counsel for the prosecution called the fol lowing witnesses : Dank) Hayes was a shoemaker, and lived at No 39, Monmouth-street. Ile knew Mannix, the deceased, who resided at No. 20, in the same street, in a cellar : he sold old shoes there, but tut = lowed the business of a sawyer. The prisoner at the bar was his son-in•late. On Sunday morning, the 15th of September, witness was in Mannix's cellar when the deceased came home. Tile pri soner and the wife of the de - ceased were at that time at home. On Saturday, the 14th, Mannix, being an Irishman, •went to an Irishman's wake, and left it in liquor between three and four o'clock in the morning.

Witness remained in the cellar, and when Mannik returned ut eleven o'clock, very much in liquor, his wife was selling a pair of shoes at the door. The man said one shoe was bigger than the other, and whilst be was saying these words the deceased came. Mannix said, " I know very well how the business is going on," anti then he and his wife had some words about money. Witness supposed they were speaking about the money due to the prisoner by a last-maker in Earl'sstreet, to whom he teas apprenticed, Mrs.'Mannix said, " You are alw a ys wanting the handling of my son's wages," and went up the back stairs of the house., Mannix followed her, as if in anger ; hot witness went after hint and bronght him hack into the cellar. rwe prisoner was then standing still there, and tlie deceased said, " 1 have a mind to give it to you," and wrnt tip to him as it - to strike hint.

Coleman presently came down, with his right side covesed with blood, and tithes' asked, " llave you stuck Mannix ?" The prisoner made no answer, but gaye a groan. Ills mother then came down the back stairs, and the brother of the decea , !ed at the saute time descended the street steps. Mrs. Mannix 'auswered to witness's question in the affirmative, and told him to go for a doctor. The deceased then came down covered with blond, Anil witness went, according to his directions, for the doctor. Andrew Tassie kept the house bt Iklonmoutb• str e et, where Mauttix • lived.

Upon hearing,the noise, witness l'ent into the passage, proceeded up stairs, and found the wife of the deeel , sed standing there on the lainling-place. Ile asked why she stood there, and she said; " 1 ratne here out of the way, for lily husband has been beating me." Immediately Mannix came up, and in a mild and pleasant tone asked her to go down stairs ; she said she would not go, she would not go to be beaten. Whilit theY %ctn.' specking, the prisoner came up, with a knife itt his hand, and made a melt at the deceased. Mannix cried not, and the blood was immediately peen to rtin from him.
