LANCASTER ASSIZES, Surr. 7. CROWN SIDE. Before Mr. Baron Wow!). The Court was occupied from nine o'clock in the morning till near seven in the evening in in ig,iting a burglary committed at Manchester by five Irishmen, two of whom, James Hagin and APCoy, were found Guilty. During the H!. , ence of the Jury for half aw bour the following rvoredings took place as to the 'MANCHESTER TRANSACTIONS. PTr. Hunt; and the other persons against whom hills have been found, appeared in Court, ac cnn:panicd by their bail, in order to plead and jus ity in the usual form. rl:he Clerk of the Court (addressing Mr. Hunt) ---r!ere is an indictment against you for a mis `demeanour ; do you traverse or submit to it Mr. Host-1 traverse. My Lord, I beg to oh ?:::;:e to your Lordship, that 1 am not properly otscribed in the indictment.. i\ly name is Henry Ilunt, and I cannot answer to the description therein given of me, for I am therein called Henry Hunt, late a Yeoman of Blanchester; God forbid I should be so ! Baron WOOD—You may make that a plea in ab3tement ; you may plead to it, but it is cer t,inly a very foolish objection to make on your pair• Air. Hunt—Perhaps then I livid better not make it. John Knight, Joseph Johnston * and James poorhouse, were then severally informed by the (leak of the Court that there were also indict ments against them for misdemeanors, and asked it - hey traversed, to which question they seve riliiy answered in the affirmative. \I r. Hunt—l would wish to be properly de.; sciihed in the recognizance. Ilat on Wood—How, is that of any consequence all It means nothing. Mr. Hunt —I only object to my being called a Yeoman. Biro') Wood—Yon nia7, perhaps, deem your• as f degraded by Olt designation. I don't know it that be your feeling or not. Liunt—Cert4inly, my Lord ; hot, if your 3. , irdshin think it of no consequencfc, I will waive olject ion. - - I_lr. ✓ Htunt ‘vas then hound by recognizance to feppear on the first day of the next Session of Oyer and Terminer to Brave the misdemeanour, to ,r:►ich he had traver , ed, prosecuted, himseit in 400. iand. his two sureties, Sir Chas. AVolteley, of \Volseley Paik, Si aiorcishite, and Mr. 'fliornas Ch,Tman, of Vale-street, Manchester, merchant, in '2 00/. each. John Knight and Joseph Johnston were next bound with the same sureties to tins same amount, James :poorhouse was hound for a like sum of 1001. and his sureties, Mr. Peter Tiiinet, of ---, and :11r: Peter Candalet, of Matket street, Manchester, linen-draper, in 200/. each. The tollowinl; defendants, who were still in custody, were Omit put to the Bar, and with their YAteties justified in the usual manner, themselves . 2001. 'and their respective sureties in 1001. 630) :--- Juhn Thacker Saxton. Sureties—James.Stott, (4 Pendleton, land-surveyor, and William Smith, of Parliament-street, Manchester, pike-maker. Joseph Healey. Sureties—Lie same James Stott and William Smith. Samuel Bamford. Sureties—Sir Charles Wolse ley and Mr. Thomas Chapman. Robert Jones. Sureties—John Dracup, of Georgelee-street, Manchester, linen-draper, and P ter Condoler. George Swift. Sureties 7 -Jamea Stott and Wil liam Smith. Robert Wild. Sureties—Thomas Cheetham, of Stockport, surgeon, and James Swindle, of Stockport, manufacturer. John Thacker Saxton then addressed his Lord thus :—I beg to ask your Lordship a (ties ,ion :—As bail is now put in for my fellow pri soners and myself, will your Lordship now allow' us to be discharged ? Baron Wood—To be sure; that follows of course. There is no objection to your immediate discharge at all ; you are entitled to it at present, as you have entered into recoguizances. John Thacker Saxton-1 only wished to know it for certain, toy Lord, as we have suffered prisooment for a long period. s Baron Wood—l can say nothing as to that, but you are at liberty now. Mr. Hunt—My Lord, as t.n this bail, I wish to chew the situation in which these prisoners and myself wete placed : we were told it was neces sary to proctirr bail ; each sent to their separate friends, and they came fortunately, and others ac conipanied them. Those, for instance, who were to be bail for Bamford were not allowed to be bail, hut others were taken whom he never saw nor heard of ; (or he was told unless he could say that the bail proposed by him bad never been seen by hisn, and was not connected with the charge, be not be allowed his liberty. Thii k the most fXll:tordinary sort of accommodation I Over heard )f, and yet such was the sort of accommodation offered by the Solicitor of the Treastity, when, it was said, " we won't take that bail which you brought for yourself, but we will take that bail von which was brought for another." I only mention this to spew the sort of disposition which prevails to accommodate us. The Clerk of the Court—Perhaps in justifica tion of the prosecutor, and in absence of the Soli citor of the Treasury, I should state— Baron Wood (interposing)-1 cannot help it. Mr. Hunt—The Solicitor may have made a very hauthome thing of it, as 'sonic of them offered pre miums of 51. each. It is not necessary, I suppose, to read over the Indictment. Baron Wood—Them is no occasion. - Mr. lioot—Unless your Lordship wishes it there is certainly no occasion, as it is a compound la!srbomt. Mr. Penrson—The're is a person of the name -t A‘lainsoti still in custody, against tvholn no bill •..‘ bet° tumid. I suppose he may be now dis- ckarged. licaon Wood—Let him be discharged, ilnnt— . -No bill wag found against him, n d he has now paid his fees, for the non-pay ment of which he has been detained. The Clerk of the Court—Mr. Hunt is mistalen when he sacs he has only been detained on ac count of the non-payment of fees.; not a half penny was requited of hitn. Mr. Hunt-- , -Thc man stated that his bill Was thrown out yesterday ; he has been kept in soli tary confinement ever since, and he said the rea son was the non-payment of the fees. Baron Wood—You will find that not to he the fact. It he do not apply for h's discharge he can not be discharged. The Grand Jury •are uii charged, and he too may he now iliscl►arg'ed. All these parties now left the Court, and after a short interval Sir Charles Wokeley and I\ir. Johnson returned. and became bail for .john Knight and Wm. Fitter :von other indictments, to the amount of SW. each. Before the hail for \VW. Erten was received, the Clerk observed, that it was necessary he should first traverse the indictment ; but Witten was Mr—lolinson—lf the hail be taken now, lie may afterwards come himself. Baron Wood—lle must come during the As sizes. The regular course is to plead first, and then to enter into recognizances ; but xce will take it de bene esse, upon the footing that he wilt come. The Clerk of the Court—Fie must appearper sonally, for he and all other persons in similar situations are liable to be taken on bench war rants, unless they appear persorkAlly and traverse to the next session.—The parties then withdrew. We understand that there were no less than sixteen other persons in attendance, who were all frceholde7s of the County, and willing to oiler themselves as bail for these defendants. Most of them were from Preston, Stockport, and Man chester ; and two front Liverpool.--(Morning Chronicle.) LONDON souRNALs. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF Tins. nvir. [Morning Post.] TnE PRINCESS OP WALES.—The State harness, - intended for the Princess of WALES, is not yet shipped off, the other articles not being ready. The carriage, to which these handsome append ages are to be affixed, is the one her Royal High ness took to Como : it is still in high preserva tion, and much admired. The agent states posi tively, that her Royal Highness has abandoned all intention of visiti•ne this country at present. AN ELOPEMRIIT IN HIGH LIFE.-Several Noble Families are plunged into great affliction, in con sequence of the elopement of the trite of n Officer of Rank in the Army, with the son of a Peer of a very ancient House. The fugitives ab sconded on Wednesday last. The injured party has received a clue ; and he is determined to bring the paramour of the Lady to a severe ac count.—(Bid.) ORATOR HUM. PRESTON, SECT. S.—The notorious Hint came in here this morning about eleven o'clock from our Castle : the tew despicable partisans he has here, endeavoured to make his coming as public as possible. One of their leaders, Houghman, a cooler in a white hat, with " Hunt and Liberty," and " No Corn Bill," upon it, went out of town, accompwried by about 200, including women and children, to meet !rim and the other worthies ; and when these jail-birds had got neatly opposite to the Head Inn, their stage-coach was stopped for Mister Hunt to harangue the rabble, which might now amount to three or 400 of all sorts ; at least one-half was assembled out of curiosity to see what was coming. Hunt, who was sitting upon the coachman's box, ti►ett stood up, ►and waving his hat to the rabble as a signal to shout, he told them, that if he spoLe, it perhaps would be called hi.;l► treason. The lash trf a coachman's whip, whilst driving past, happened accidentally to touch one of the fellows upon their coach, when limit bel lowed out, "He is hired to cause a riot." He then continued to harangue the snob, till he had quite tired his hearers: his language was atissue of abuse against the Magistrates, Soldiers, and Jut y, and a mere repetition of his former speeches.— He saw it because a fiat business, as many of his hearers begat, to leave the side of the coach. They then got about a dozen poor fellows to drag the coach out of town, and as they passed the Mayor's house, several attempts were made from the coach to procure a shout, but all in vain. It looked more like a mourning procession passing down Church -street, from the slowness of the motion, and not one voice was raised to dicer either Hunt or his companions. I should think he must have found himself much disappointed in meeting with not one respectable person to notice him ; yet, as no doubt it will be puffed off in some of the Jacobin London Papers, to the dis grace of our loyal town, I think it a duty I owe to you and to the public, ro give you a faithful account of the whole, having been au eye-witness to the good sense of my fellow townsmen, and the detestation iu which Hunt is held by them, N. B. He told them he expected meetine a nu merous company on Monday next at the Crown and Anchor. Thank God ! we shall get clear of his► out of this county soon. BLACKBURN, Wednesday Afternoon, 4 o'Clock. The town has been kept in a b tate ofxontinued ferment all day by a report that Hunt and his as sociates would return Irons Lancaster by this road. Great numbers of the Reformers set off about eleven. o'clock to meet these Patriots, with flags bearing the common inscriptions of the re bellious' party. Soon atter two the approach of the great man was announced, and he entered the town on the box of a stage coach, not drawn by horses, but by a host of two-legged asses... Johnson and poorhouse, along with Chapman, the orange-dealer, front Manchester, were on the roof of the coach, and Knight and some others occupied the interior. The cavalcade drew up to the Old Bull Inn, but all the front rooms being previously engaged, Hoot was obliged to put up with a seat in the bar ; but as Mr. Yearsley had very prudently taken precautions to prevent, as much as possible, the admission of Mr. Hunt's followers into his house, lie did not remain long: Hunt again mounted his seat 00 the box of the coach, from, which he uttered, not a speech, but some nonsensical, incoherent sentences, between every - oneiof which he made a halt, to allow time for the assembled multitude to greet bins with their cheers. Some of the Officers of the troop of Hussars stationed in the town appeared at the window near to the Orator, against whom, as might be expected, ,he snack some insignificant, contempfltot-13 remarks. Hont produced from his pocket some thing which he said was part of the skull of those poor innocents who had suffered on the 16th of last month. Upon the whole, Hunt must 'find, from his recejition here to-day, that his popularity is very much on the decline ; for though a great crowd were collected, at least four-fifths of them attended through col iosit y, and a very small pro portion joined in the SLUUIS which were attempted to be raised.

To them the thanks art due for thesafetY ° ' HENRY HUNT, and it might he as well to se c them from being wasted on him, who has ° 4 d shewn the way to Treason, but finds it t ° ° :homy for himself. The course which has been observed 'r id ' respect to some of the Persons who have been taken into custody for sediti ous writings, or ot bef lawless practices, by issuing warrants aga inst them for every new offence, is the only wilY to damp the spirit of those Miscreants who want to overthrow our Religion and Monarchy.

Though we have thought it our duty to coP/ the account of the proceedings of the Corone r Inquest at Oldham, yet we deem it proper to caution our Readers against a full reliance on i ri accuracy, as it appears to be written with a bias favour of Mr. HARMAN, who is obviously intend ( to be the .hero of the Piece, and who a l. ', tainly exhibits himself in a character, upon 04° occasion, which has never been assumed by 84 other of his profession, at least as far as we L av e beard. To render Mr: HARMAN'S figure 0 °r s prominent, and give a stronger effect to his Per formance, Mr. BATTY, the Coroner's Clerk , held forth in a ludicrous point of view, probsa" with equal fidelity. It is with much pleasure we finJ, that OsO r '' one of those sanctuaries of Learning and ri et Y' which have hitherto been an honour, not only E(' the British Empire, but to the civilized wo rld° has held forth an example of loyalty and attec ir. ment to our unrivalled Constitution which 00 g to be followed by every Corporation in the ed Kingdom. On this occasion, we cannot crtP better than-copy the following judicious articl° from The Oxford Journal of yesterday : tr " We are happy in the opportunity of giving public ali° : this day to an i ; lddress vottd by the Mayor and Corporate e, of the City of Oxford, to his Royal Higbnes the Prince Ile; gent. We are glad to see them taking the lead ar this O r of loyalty; and setting, with so zealous a -regard to the rO it) ; tenancy of social order, an example, which other. Muni ci P s Bodies would act rightly in imitating, during a seasua °f 6o much peril. We say a season of so murk peril; becaus e though in other days Treason and Infidelity have gone fors' to convulse the country and to curse the land, yet they existed in a separatecond ition, and waged their respective CV al . against the Church and State single-handed. The alli an4 o of two for the perpetration of evil was a singular inflicti% reserved for the present times; and it is this unhallowed gal , arost pernicious confederation, which, at the paramount both of, our religion and our country, should asv al‘e to our watchfulness and discretion, and summon to the field ° 1 most patriotic services, if we wish to preserve for ourselfo and our posterity the blessings of cultivated, societpa tid, t o protect that mild and equitable Government which gi v ! v s all protection.
