SUMMER ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE, AUGUST 14. This RPX V.

No sooner was the case called on than it was an "%lced that the parties had entered into an arrange , -..• upon tnese terms the prosecutors agreed to qfir no evidence for the prosecution, and a verdict - /P 4 accordingly taken by consent for the defendant.

In our pap er o f Th urs day, we gave an account of the trial and conviction of John Burgess, for receiv 41'g a stolen hore in 1826. As the circumstances * hich led to his apprehension are rather curious, arid as hey are calculated to effect some moral good, ‘ h 4 Rive them insertion. It appears that a notorious 01 e -dealer, named Cutts, has recently been con victed and sentenced to transportation for three se i;!tal terms of 14 years, for receiving stolen horses. ir l,tling his own case hopeless, he hit upon the ex. p 1 1 : 14 , 1 ent of writing circulars to various persons whom clad been instrumental in robbing, offering them :,, t ry information, on payment of a certain sum '4ortioned to the value of the horse to be reco red. Numbers gladly availed themselves of the u s t '/Iv, and the result has been, besides the recovery 4 veral horses, the apprehension and conviction of urgess. WELLS, AUG. 13. Richard Blackmore, a labourer, aged 33, was in 'eted for having, on the 2d of June last, at Bath, C-at nally known and abused Mary Williams, an infant e tWeen four and five years old. It was proved hgat the poor infant had suffered the most shocking Jury. The Jury found the prisoner " Guilty," and i :qr. Justi c e PARK sentenced him to two years' rn Prison men t, and hard labour. „ ,The prisoner had not been indicted capitally, but for the assault, with intent, which had been ii °4l Y a misdemeanour before the Act of Lord Lans r4vne, which came into effect on the Ist of July o t. By this Act, the attempt to commit is placed the same footing as the actual perpetration of the offenc e I' both acts being capital crimes. His Lord- P, n passing sentence on the prisoner, said that " should have undoubtedly left him for execution if t he Offence had been committed 30 days later. George Edwards and Charles liellier were toge ther indicted for having, on the 19th of May last, assaulted Joseph Weeks the younger, put him in n oddy fear, and extorted from him 6/., by a threat of accusing him with having committed an unnatu ral offence. Mr. Rouelts, for the prosecution, stated that the prosecutor was a young man of rather a simple Judgtnent, the son of a farmer residing at Bisport. On the 10th of May, a man named Bellamy called en the prosecutor's father, and told him that a per son named Charles Hellier had stated that he (Hel lier)had caught the prosecutor in the act of commit ting an offence against nature. The father commu nicated this to his son on the following day, and the latter immediately went in search of the person who had given currency to the charge. It was after this that the offence was committed which was the ground of the present indictment, and which was detailed in the evidence of the following witness. Bellamy, the person alluded to then came into the box. It is impossible to conceive a more dis- Osting or a more horrible appearance than his coun tenance presented. In addition to a terrible distor tion of features, he showed the most reckless fero 6tY, and was moreover deeply intoxicated. On en tering the box, he nodded at the prisoners with a 'a ri vage jollity which excited a feeling of horror in the "mt. As soon as he had been sworn, he proceed ed to run on into a confusion of most disgusting de tails and conversations between him and the pri soners, of which the object was to make up a charge N'ainst the prosecutor of having committed a most horrible offence, in order that they might extort from ( 4 11 20/, which they might divide between them. T he witness avowed, that he was himself the prin. v iPal dire c t or o f th e p rocee di ngs , an d th a t he had ar ranged what was necessary to be sworn, Charles Hellier undertaking to swear againt the prosecutor any thing which the witness ' might dictate. The itne ss deposed to most of the facts already 4t 4ted by the prosecutor and his father, and 414 4 other facts which showed (if truly s tated) that the transaction was of a deeper (I Ye than it had ever been represented by the other W itnesses. He said that the two prisoners, when th e t i prosecutor called on them, told him that if he not give them 6/., his life was not worth a penny; that he cried bitterly, and protested his in ;?eence, and that the prisoners cried out upon him, :at his innocence would not save him : that they o uld swear against him is such a manner as would th 'l him beyond all chance of escaping, and that , 4 e L Y would state such a variety of minute and parti- L 4 r facts as would hang the prosecutor, "as sure t v "od hung apples." When the Cl. had been given ,Weeks to Edwards and Bellamy, Charles Hellier - lated on having 2/. 10s. for his share, as he had gertaken "to swear blank that he caught Joe ti t ."ks in the natural fact." The rest of the mo spent by the witness and the other prisoner.

George Hayward and „Tames Kimber were in dicted, charged with }caving stolen and carried away divers articles of clothing, the property of their master,Anthony Brown.—Guilty.—Death recorded. WARWICK, AUCUST 14. - - Antes Wood Wilson, who was charged with forging a bill of exchange for 200/., and who was said to have voluntarily surrendered to take his trial on that and other charges, was called upon his re cognizances, but did not appear. We understood that lie was in the immediate vicinity of the court, and that it was with great difficulty his friends could restrain him from encountering the risk of a trial. Thomas Winkless, who had been admitted a wit ness against Wilson at the last assizes, on a charge of embezzling several large sums from his employers, Messrs. Wilmot, Goodall, and Co., was now put to the bar, charged with the like offence himself. The affidavits on both sides having been read by the otlicer of the Court, Mr. DRNMAN applied to the Court for the pri soner's discharfe, on the ground that he had been admitted King s evidence. Mr. READER was instructed by Mr. Wilmot to say, that so far from that gentleman's being actuated by any vindictive feeling towards the prisoner, or by any other motive than a sense of justice to himself, his partners, and the public, he was now perfectly willing, not only that the trial should be postponed until next assizes, but also that the prisoner should be discharged upon his own recognizances in the mean time. The prisoner accordingly entered into his own re cognizances, and was discharged. John Stanton and John Parker were indicted for conspiring together to sue out a fraudulent commis sion of bankruptcy against one Richard Claridge, with intent to defeat an execution issued against the goods of the said Claridge, by Mr. Alderman Phil lips, of Coventry. Claridge kept a public-house at Coventry, and having become indebted to Mr. Alderman Phillips, a maltster and brewer, in the sum of 1704, the latter issued a fi. fa. and seized his goods in execution. The defendant, Stanton, who is an accountant, and was in the habit of acting as a messenger under commissions of bankruptcy, upon hearing of the cir cumstance, waited upon Mr. Wright, Claridge's father-in-law, and proposed to him, as a mode of relieving his son-in-law from his difficulties, that he should procure a friend to sue out a commission of bankruptcy against him. After discussing the sub ject some time ,with Mr. Wright to no purpose, Stanton next called on Claridge, and repeated his proposition to him. The latter told him the higheSt sum he owed to any one man, except Alderman Phil lips, was 201. Stanton asked him if he could not find a friend in Coventry who would draw a bill upon him and date it back, to answer the purpose. Claridge said he could not ; upon which the other told him that he would find one in Birmingham. Still, however, Claridge declined to act upon the suggestion; and Stanton next sent the defendant Parker, a maltster and farmer, residing about six miles off, to him to try to induce him to consent. Parker not succeeding, Stanton again waited upon him, and represented the great advantages which he would derive from issu ing a commission. Parker, he said, to whom he owed the 201. could be the petitioning creditor, a friendly thicket could be struck, it would be only necessary to put a man in possession for few days as a mere matter of form, who could live as one of the family; it would make a gentleman of Claridge, as he might still continue the tap--(great laughter)— and the Alderman would be thrown over the bridge. (Renewed laughter.)—The defendant's eloquence at length prevailed. Claridge yielded, and Parker and he immediately concerted the mode of preparing the feigned debt of 1001. Acting upon Stanton's suggestions, they agreed that Claridge should tear the receipts he had formerly received from Parker for payment of money in former dealings between them, while the latter was to tear out the leaves of his book in which they were entered, and insert fresh ones. This matter having been arranged, Stanton proposed that he and Parker should set off that same evening for London to strike the docket, as no time was to be lost ; and for this purpose he applied to Claridge for Si. to pay their expellees.= Claridge procured the Si. from his wife, but putting 51. of it in his breeches pocket, he represented to Stanton that his wife would only give him 3/.—(A laugh, one of the Learned Counsel observing that that was a lucid interval.)—Stanton accepted this sum, started for London with Parker, who made the necessary affidavit of a petitioning creditor's debt, and, Claridge having previously, in obedience to Stanton's directions, gone from home to avoid his creditors and thereby committed an act of bank ruptcy, obtained a commission.• Claridge and his family, however, having considered the matter more maturely, wisely resolved to proceed no farther with the commission ; and he therefore wrote to the soli citor employed on the occasion, who knew nothing of the real circumstances of the case, informing . him of them, and directing him to stay all further pro ceedings. The facts were also communicated. to Alderman Phillips, and the present prosecution was instituted in consequence. Mr. HILL, for the defendant Parker, urged that his poor ignorant client, even if the facts sworn to were true, was evidently only the dupe of Stanton. The Jury found both prisoners Guilty, but recom mended Parker to mercy, on account of his apparent ignorance. The Learned JUDGE sentened Stanton to twelve months', and Parker to six months' imprisonment. Isaac Parkes, who pleaded guilty yesterday to an indictment for forging the Birmingham plate mark, was sentenced to be transported for seven years. The assizes terminated here to-day: they were the dullest that have been for many years. The door of one of the stage-coaches which runs to and from London and Bath having been neglected to be fastened at Hungerford, a few days since, a child, who bad been previously amusing itself by looking out at the window, soon afterwards fell head foremost to the ground, and one of the wheels going over it, caused almost instantaneous death. The feelings of the mother, who was travelling with it, may be conceived, but we will not attempt to describe them. What adds to the calamity is, that considerable property depended on the life of the ckild.—Devizes Gazette. 'MISTRESS PALMER.—CHARLES 11. sold Dunkirk to the French for 500,000/. which, according to Bishop BURN ET, " was all immediately squandered away among the Mistress' s creatures." This was -" Mrs. PA E MT R," whom the KING " advanced to the Duchess of CertvELaNn," and whose husband was content to derive from such a "fountain of honour" as the Royal Adulterer his titular dignity of Earl of CASTLEMA INN. It was at Mistress Paemee's lodging s that the cabal met in 1661, by whom the KING was determined in the disposal of offices, with little regard to men's merits or services.

IRELAND. Lord Anglesey would be more unpopular with the Orangemen than even his predecessor, but they appear to be awed by the decision of his character. Lord Leveson Gower, as far as we have seen of bins yet, appears to be liked, but the faction cannot brook his intimacy with Mr. Blake, the Chief Remem brancer ; and if you east your eyes on any of their journals, you will find him sneered at in a day or two, for an intimacy with a gentleman who knows more of the real state of the country than half the official persons belonging to the Government.— But Mr. Blake is a Roman Catholic. The Secre• tary was at the Lord Mayor's dinner yesterday, but went away early, long before the " glorious memory" was toasted. I believe there is little doubt of a circumstance I hinted to you in a previous letter,—namely, that the Duke of Wellington is endavouring to make progress in a high quarter on the subject of the Catholic question. Such is the impression hero in circles likely to be informed on such matters ; and you are to observe that the tone of official men, even of those opposed to the Catholic claims, is much altered. Mr. George Dawson, who only two or three years ago made a violent speech on proposing Mr. Moore for the representation of the city of Dublin, it is un derstood 'has declined to assist at the festival getting up to celebrate his return. The Lord Lieutenant is openly favourable to emancipation. The Secretary is a zealous and decided advocate. The Orange Press, on the contrary, is growing more furious every day, and a few Orange Lords and Com moners are making themselves ridiculous. I shall give you an instance. There is, or was, a little theatre at Castleblayney, cennty of Monaghan,' the seat of • Lord Blayney, -whose tra vels, no doubt, you have read or read about. Sir Harcourt Lees was on a visit to his Lordship, and attended the theatre. The Noble Lord addressed the audience, proposing "cheers for the event." A n d Sic Marcourt returned thanks in his usual and energetic strain. Lord Blayney then made a second speech of some length to the audience, in which ,there was the usual compliment of Protestantism i N r Y r a c s or a roboration of wh a t I part of hi s s p eec h a il r ,o u r i th loy q u u l o ty tn ; ig b , u i t f t o h n e l r y e have endeavoured to impress upon your readers in these letters. H ere ," said Lord 13layney," is Mr. Wallace, who has figured on the private theatres of Madras, Calcutta, and many in Europe. Although a stranger in Ireland, he read in the London papers of general disturbances here. How indignant must he feel at such language when he looks around him. On which Mr. Wallace sung the " Days of good Queen Bess." In justice to Lord Blayney, who is an eccentric like his friend Sir Harcourt, it must be allowed that he is a resident, and a good landlord.— Correspondent of the Times. We hear that a New Cricket Club is about to h etitablitauld thie Nercurty. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE. It has been mentioned, that no allusion was made by the Counsel on either side, in Corder's case, to the dream of Maria Martin's mother, importing that her unhappy daughter's corpse would be found buried in Corder's barn, and the motive attributed to the Counsel for their silence was the fear of encouraging " superstitious" feelings in the lower class of the people. This is somewhat absurd. If the Coun sel for the prosecution supposed that the state ment or proof of such a circumstance as• Mrs. Martin's dream would have helped to esta blish the prisoner's guilt, he neglected his busi ness by failing to adduce it; if, on the other hand, the , dream had been such as would have raised for Corder one particle of scepticism, or gleam of compassion, in the minds of those who tried him for his life, the prisoner's Counsel would have been equally culpable to suppress it. They cared little about the superstitions of the people; nor do we imagine that a belief in the pre ternatural origin of dreams would in this country gain a single convert from the most active use that the most ingenious advocate could have made of the • above poor woman's prepossession, when it was so naturally and palpably ascribable to the course of her waking suspicions. The statement, however, that such a dream had occurred to the step-mother of Maria Martin has led to our receiving from a correspondent of unques tionable veracity another history of a sleeping vision, which we cannot refrain from subjoining. The acting party in this instance (if a dream can be called an ac tion) is now alive—the witnesses to whom he made known the particulars of it at the time are living,— the subject matter of the visitation was connected with, or rather it corresponded with, that of a catas trophe at once so memorable and so shocking as to be still imprinted on the mind of every adult in the kingdom,— -and the dream itself was no less striking for the singular conformity of its details to those of a contemporaneous tragedy which was performed nearly 300 miles from the person of the dreamer, than unaccountable to those who fancy they can theorize upon dreams, by assuming an insight into the ways of Providence, for its want of every cha racteristic of a warning, a remedy, or any other vi sible usefulness, so often alleged in explanation of that faculty : " In the night of the 11th of May, 1812, Mr. Williams, of Scorrier-house, near Retinal!, in Corn wall, awoke his wife, and, exceedingly agitated, told her that he had dreamt that he was in the lobby of the House of Commons, and saw a man shoot, with a pistol, a gentleman who hed just entered the lobby who. was said to be the Chancellor; to which Mrs. Williams naturally replied, that it was only a dream, and recommended him to be composed and go to sleep as soon as he could. He did so, but shortly after he again awoke her, and said that he had a second time bad the same dream; whereupon she observed that he had been so much agitated with his former dream, that she supposed it had dwelt upon his mind, and begged of him to try to compose himself and go to sleep, which he did. A third time the same vision was repeated ; on which, notwith standing her entreaties that he would lie quiet and endeavour to forget it, he arose, then between one and two o'clock, and dressed himself. At breakfast, the dreams were the sole subject of conversation, and in the forenoon Mr. Williams went to Falmouth, where he related the particulars of them to all of his acquaintance that he met. On the following day Mr. Tucker, of Trematon Castle, accompanied by his wife, a daughter of Mr. Williams, went to Scor rier-house, on a visit, and arrived about dusk. Im mediately after the first salutations on their entering the parlour, where were Mr., Mrs., and Miss Wil liams, Mr. Williams began to relate to Mr. Tucker the circumstances of his dreams, anti Mrs. Wil liams observed to her daughter, Mrs. Tucker, laughingly, that her father could not even suffer Mr. Tucker to be seated before he told him of his noc turnal visitation ; on the statement of which Mr. Tucker observed that it would do very well for a dream to have the Chancellor in the lobby of the House of Commons, but that he would not be found there in reality; and Mr. Tucker then asked what sort of a man he appeared to be, when Mr. Williams described him minutely : to which Mr. Tucker replied, " your description is not at all that of the Chancellor, but is certainly very exactly that of Mr. Perceval, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and although he has been to me the greatest enemy I have ever met with through life, for a supposed cause which had no foundation in truth (or words to that effect), I should be exceedingly sorry indeed to hear of his being assassinated, or of any injury of the kind hap pening to him." Mr. Tucker then inquired of Mr. Williamsrif he had ever seen Mm. Perceval, and was told that he had never seen, nor had ever even written to him, either on public or private business ; in short, that he had never land any thing to do with him, nor had lie ever been in the lobby of the House of Commons in his life. At this moment Mr. Wil liams and Mr. Tucker still standing, they heard a horse gallop to the door of the house, and imme diately after Mr. Michael Williams, of Trevince (son of Mr. Williams, of Scorrier) entered the room, and said that he had gallopped out from Truro (from which Scorrier is distant seven miles), having seen a gentleman there, who had come by that evening's mail from town, who said that he was in the lobby of the House of Commons on the evening of the 11th, when a man, called Bellingham, had shot Mr. Perceval; and that as it might occasion some great Ministerial changes, and might affect Mr. Tucker's political friends, he had come out as fast as he could to make him acquainted with it, having heard at Truro that he had passed through that place in the afternoon in his way to Scorrier. After the asto nishment which this intelligence created had a little subsided, Mr. Williams described most particularly the appearance and dress of the man that he saw, in his dream, fire the pistol, as he had before done of Mr. Perceval. About six weeks after, Mr. Williams having business in town, went, accompanied by a friend, to the House of Commons, where, as has been already observed, he had never before been. Immediately that he came to the steps at the en trance of the lobby, he said, ' This place is as dis tinctly within my recollection, in my dream, as any room in my house :' and he made the same observa tion when he entered the lobby. He then pointed out the exact spot where Bellingham stood when he fired, and which Mr. Perceval had reached when he was struck by the ball, where, arid how he fell. The dress, both of Mr. Perceval and Bellingham, agreed with the descriptions given by Mr. Williams, even to the most minute particular." It is said the establishment of the Treasury at the India House will be broken up, and the business will be transacted at the Bank of England. Mr. HORNE, the celebrated coach-proprietor, w hose death we mentioned a few days since, may well be considered to have been the greatest capitalist in his line, if it be true, as is said, that he possessed upwards ofl,ooo horses, and more than 100 coaches. Of servants of one description ur other he must have had nearly as many as he had horses.

C. BULLOCK. Whitehall Treasury Chambers, July 18. TIIE CORN TRADE. (From the Scotsman.) We received a Parliamentary Paper lately, containing various details respecting the Home Corn Trade, some of which we think may be found not uninteresting. The subject is one as to which men indulge the more freely in random statements, since they know that very little correct knowledge respecting it is in circulation. Is Scotland, for instance, an importing or exporting country at present? In what species of grain is she deficient; in what has she an excess; anti whence are her supplies drawn? Many persons have formed conjectures respecting these matters, though few, we imagine, could give a precise answer to the question. We shall begin with a short notice respecting the Corn Trade of Ireland, which may be considered as exclusively an exporting country. IRELAND. The quantity of grain which Ireland exports to England and Scotland has been nearly trebled within the last 20 years. For the four years ending 1 Oth Oct. 1527, it was, on an average— Grain. 1,500,000 qrs. Meal and Flour. 470,000 cwte. Of the grain fully three-fourths consist of oats, about one-sixth of wheat, one-fifteenth of barley, and a small quantity of malt, pease, and beans. The south and the west of Ireland send out the largest quantity, and the north least. The exporting places stand in the following order, placing those first which furnish the largest quantity : I. Limerick-2. Cork-3. Waterford-4. Sligo 5. Dublin—C. Dundalk-7. Wexford-8. Drogheda 9. Newry-10. Westport-11. Belfast-12. London derry-13. Galway-11. Baltimore--15. Coleraine. Of the grain sent out 1,116,000 quarters, on an average of the four years, go to England, -and 384,000 quarters to Scotland. Of the 470,000 cwts. of meal and flour, only a very small quantity (about 15,000) go to Scotland— England receives the rest. CORN TRADE OF SCOTLAND AND IRELAND. Scotland, as we have just stated, receives annually from Ireland 354,000 quarters of grain, and 15,000 mks. of meal and flour. Nearly the whole, as might be expected, comes to places or the wsst coast ; but the following is the quantity of Irish grain received annually at each Fort, on an average of the last four years : Glasgow 206,000 Qrs. Greenock Irvine 35,000 Port Glasgow 6,500 • Campbeltown 4,500 Leith (in 1827) 2,200 Dumfries l,BOO Dundee (1827) 1,700 Borrowstouness (1825) 512 Grangemouth (1826) 363 Inverness l2O The quantity of barley whirls comes to liicotland from Ireland since the new Excise Law was introduced, has been much exaggerated. It fmns scarcely more than one-tenth part of the whole imports, as will be seen below. Of the 500,000 quarters of barley consumed by the Scottish dhi tillers, not one-twelfth part comes from Ireland ; but what is imported is probably all employed in distillation. The imports at Campbeltown consist almost wholly of this species of grain. Grain imported annually from Ireland, on an average of the last four years : Barley Oats 309,000 Wheat 9,500 The malt imported is quite trifling (690 qrs.); the rest consists of pease and beans. It may be inferred that neatly half the grain consumed in Glasgow is Irish. The corn sent from Scotland to Ireland in the four years was only 8,000 qrs., a quantity so insignificant that it may be altogether disregarded. Of the Irish grain sent to England, 622,000 qrs. per annum, or more than one half, go to Liverpool. GENERAL CORN TRADE OF SCOTLAND. The quantity of corn shipped at all the ports of Scotland (including Berwick), in the four years ending October last, was 2 ; 353,000 qrs. or 558,000 qrs. per annum on the average. The quantity landed at all the ports was 3,446,000, or 862,000 qrs. per annum, including what comes from Ire land. Scotland is therefore an importing country at pre sent, to the extent of about 270,000 qrs. per annum, ex clusive of foreign grain ; and this is probably algtv.t one fifteenth part of the whole consumption. The meal and flour expotted and imported nearly balance each other, and being comparatively trifling in amount, we pass them over. We may now make a kind of debtor and creditgw ac count for the 'three principal species of grain ; and we shall thus learn in what species the annual deac:eiicy Imported and exported annually coastwise at all the Ports in Scotland:— Imported : Barley, 305,000 quarters ; Oats, 369,000 quarters ; Wheat, 102,000 quarters.—Exported : Bar ley, 185,000 quarters ; Oats, 199,000 quarters ; Wheat, 159,000 quarters. The result seems to us curio!„9„ tiootland, it appears, is indebted to the Sister Kincloins every year for 120,000 quarters of barley, and 160,000 of oats--the two species n.; grain for which her own climate is best adapted ; whi)e, on the other hand, she sends annually to Englund about 60,000 quarters of wheat—a species, o groin which many Englishmen believe will searc , ..',y grow in this country. About fonr-fifths of the cats imported come from Ireland, and three-fouths of the barley from England. It may be proper again to explain, that this statement gives the average result for the four years, ending in October, 1827, and that Berwick, which is the capital of a Scottish county, is considered as a Scottis,lt port. The discrepancy between the aggregate balance of ex ports and illipoOs, as exhibited in this statement, and the other above, arises from pease, beans, malt, and rye being included M the former, and not in the latter, - The following were the imports and exports coastwise at Leith, for each of the four years, in barley, oats, and wheat LEITH.

From the Irish Papers we collect that there is no lack of circumstances favourable to a repe tition of those election contests, on the frequency and wise management of which the Catholic body may expect to build in all the forms of' constitutional punctilio, a perfect representative organization. Mr. Cuffe, an Orange member for the Borough of Tralee, is dead, and a Ca tholic canvass is already on foot, to provide, or, if the plan fails, to worry his successor.

To this exemplary instrument, more over, a former : Judge of the Court of King's Bench in Ireland is actually one of the trustees. The end avowed was, a provision for youngel. children. The constitutional existence of pos terity was mortgaged, that successive generations of well-born .vultures should be fattened on this mass of perennial corruption, while the countr% will be told that marriage settlements and " char tered rights" being equally h o ly i n t h e eye o f t h e law, are immovable obstacles to the free repie sentation of the people. We do not know how this struggle for a just and honest return to Par liament of a member fitted for the duties of le gislation will terminate. It is at least desirable that the effort should - be made. But we are sure that every prudent man will agree with us that nothing can be so impolitic, or full of peril, as a system which eternally exhibits its own practice in direct opposition to acknowledged principles, and impresses on those who honestly seek reform, that no reform will ever he attain, able but through a revolution which begins by sweeping away all the subject matter of gradual and tranquil amendment.

It is quite amusing to bear those Journak that used to inveigh so bitterly against the re tention, by the late Duke of York, of the high office of Commander-in-Chief, on the pretext of such an appointment being unconstnutionat„ from his Royal Highness's near relationship to the Crown—it is quite amusing, we say, to heat these same constitutional and consistent politi cians lament the dismissal, or rather resignation, of the Duke of Clarence. If it were unconsti tutional to intrust the one situation to the Duke of York, it was much more to intrust the other to the Duke of Clarence. When the former was appointed to the head of the army, the King was comparatively • a y oung man , and the la mented Princess Charlotte stood between the Royal Duke and even the hope of his being the Heir Presumptive. Not so was it when th,- Duke of Clarence was made Lord High Admi ral. He stood next in degree to the throne. It was possible that one day he might have been inspecting hulks, or deciding the superiority of sailing cutters, and the next, King of England. He might have been to-day impeached by the (. o : nd om t i o n ons of morrow, in Englandthe capacity of Monar c h, b een for high misd emeanours , called upon to sign his own condem na ti on . A n d will any man of moderate inf orma ti on , muc h l ess one desirous to be deemed a p a t r i ot , say t h at this was a dilemma in which th e Ki ng ' s servants, and the Heir Presumptive, ought to have beet , . placed ? But the appointment emanated from the wisdom of the late Mr. Canning, awl, there fore, say the liberals, it was a commrndable and constitutional appointment. We wish these gen tlemen would, for their own sakes, be a little more consistent. No one, we should think, who is not blinded by prejudice or faction, will be so rash as to affirm that the Minister of Ma rine should not be a Cabinet Minister. The Duke of Clarence had no seat in the Cabinet ; and not having a seat it was impossible he could know what was desirable to be done, without being at once made acquainted with its most secret designs. At the present moment, when we are su imperatively called upon to watch closely the movements of Foreign Powers, to make preparations and yet be silent, to have a Beet in every sea , a p il ot at t h e mouth o f ever y harbou r o f E urope , an equ i pped force , lik e a masked battery, the guns of which, the lighted - First t the Lord be o i '. matches of which, cannot be seen—at ualy it is absolutely necessary that the . . when tale balance of Europe trembles F o i 'net Minister.
