The Judges present were the Loan JUSTICE CLERK and LORD CHIEF BARON. The list of. the Grand Jury was called over, and the • follow ing prisoners were 'placed at the.bar : Froth the parish of - Mauchline, John Blade and ; Hugh - Wallace; and from -.the parish of Stewarton, Andrew Wyllie and .Thomas . Mackay. These prisoners respectively pleaded Not Guiltg, and' demanded' tO• - be' tried - "by God and their country. Mr. J. P: GE-ANT And Mr. SANDFORD were,. at the. request of the prisoners, assigned as their Counsel, in place of the - G'entlernen formerly sug gested. It was intimated from the bench, that the trials in this place will commence on Wednesday the 9th of August. - . _ There appeared for the prosecution the Crown Counsel; and Mr. ARXOTT as agent. Mr. Serjeant HULLOCK set out from Dumbar ton on his return to England. The Court sitsfor trials on Tuesday at Pais ley, and on Friday at Stirling. The LORD ADVOCATE, with that distinguished forbearance and humanity which he has exhibited in the conduct of the late prosecutions, has libe rated, without bringing to trial, the seven persons from Greenock, who were confined in Dumbar ton Castle on a charge of aiding in the breaking open of the jail of Greenock, on the Bth April last. When. Messrs. GRANT and SANDFORD were returning to the Elephant Inn, Dumbarton, after the trials there on Thursday, they were cheered the whole way by the crowd in the street, and -an Irish woman stepped forward in high spirits, curtsied to them, and exclaimed, " God bless and prosper your Honours for what you have done for these poor boys to-day." .

DARING ROBBERIES.-011 Tuesday, while the Procession for opening the Regent's Canal was proCeeding towards •Limehouse, where the great basin'is situated, The pickpockets, as. usual on -such occasions, abounded in-such great numbers that the constables were afraid :to take them. An old infirm Gentleman was knocked down, and robbed of every thing he had about him ; one of the lock-keepers,' oh jumping from a barge, was robbed of his watch and money. -One of the: robbers was taken. A young man re turning from. the city,-.stopping to look-at the 'barges entering the locks, had his pocket picked of a pocket-bOok containing notes to a consider able amount The ruffians went about in..gangs • - of 20 or 30 2. and sornetime§,morg.4 M.AsQUERAbt ALMAdkA. . - This Pete took Place ou Tuesday night pur triant to its .athiouneetilent, under the patronage of the PrinceSs PAUL ESTERHAVe i the Duchess Of WELLINGTON S the Countess BESS BO RO UGH, Viscountess lIAMPOEN, Lady CARO Wit LAmu, and several other distinguished Ladies ; and it ,was, upon the whole, a very splendid affair: The company exceeded four hundred persons, and included Most of the Nobility, and other leading fashionables still remaining in town. The saloons, the staircase, &c, were brilliantly ill& minated, and the orchestra was filkd by the French Quadrille Band, in full strength. There is scarcely a character in life but what had its representative , : The Schoolboy With satchell on his back, the Lover with a woftil bal •lad to his mistress's eyebrOW, the Soldier bearded like the pard, the Justice with fair round belly, 'and the lean and slippered Pantaloon, Were all personified in infinite varieties. - There were Friars, }ldlers, and Fops ;' Nuns and Harle quins ; Bravoes and Foxhunters ; Country Bumpkins' and their Sweethearts ; Pilgrims and Punchinello ; Roman Senators in all the majestic amplitude . of the toga, arm in arm with the En glish Ballad Singers, or High German Doctors:; Highland Chieftains and antiquated old maids ; Peasants from every country in Europe ; Turks and BarberS ; Dorninoes . both male and female of every colour in the ethereal bow,. and" Bevies of dainty dames of high'degree" surrounded by. personiticiitions of all the canaille in St. Giles!s, done to the very life. Lady CAROLINE LAMB, ho ever, was the grin- ciPal, leader of the revels—lthe undoubted he= roine, or rather hero of :the night.' Her Lady= ship tippeared, for the first time, in the character of Do,/ -Giovanni; and, it must be confessed, she displayed the desperate libertinism of that 'worthy in such a style as, even. Madame VtsTars' herself might envy ; but unfortunately' there were too many Devils provided kir the climax, There -seemed to be a whole legion of them, principal and subordinate ; and so little inclined were they " to do their spiriting' gently," that (notwith standing they had been \.epeatedly drilled by the Don in private),' they appeared determined to carry the whole crowd 'off to Tartarus by, a coup - - de main. They pursued the devoted Giovanni with such infinite vivour- through the. moving labyrinth; that Senators; And Sol diers, and Matrons, were indiscriminately, thrown down ; and when at last they caught the poor Don himself, they laid paws on him with such an extra-infernal furor, that he fairly relinquished the Don altogether, and' told them plainly, in propria periona, , as Lady Caro line Lamb, that she would play no longer. The' obstreperous Devils then retired to the tea-room, and troubled the Company no more that night. The piece was evidently ill 7 cast. The Earl of Glenffall - we think, was the able representative of the French Coachman, and cratk'ed.his whip with an air exclusively French. There Was one fair incognito, who represented at once a Widozo mid a Bride, her costume being perpendicularly divided half black and half white. There was also a very piquant. Dog-merchant, with a poodle puppy, in each hand, who had the knack of exciting loud peals of laughter in every quarter of the saloon. Dr. , too, was everr„ where .in search of. the picturesque whether or not -he discovered much is very doubtful. - M. C_EsAn MonEAu and M. Awromo J. S. LOUREIRO, as French Poets, distributed verses among the splendid throng, receiving in return a world of verse-inspiring. smiles. Russian figure dances, Spanish boleros, fandangos, burlesque strathspeys, minuets, and waltzes, and quadrilles, were danced at intervals throughout the night; and the sun had. been risen nearly an hour yester day morning, before the company separ,i.ted.— Among them were observed— His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and Mademoi selle D'Est, the Dowager Marchioness of I ansdowne, the Marchioness of Winchester and the Ladies Paulet, Earl and Countess Euston, Countess of Harrowhy, and Lady Mary Ryder, Earl of Ancratn, Duchess of Wellington, Duke of Wellington.

Take the opinion of a man as much attached to freedom and to toleration as ever lived :*of 111.ksoN, the POet. Speaking of the disabilities still attached to the Roman Catholics, (and, they were more _then, for the passage was written in the first year of GEORGE HI.) he says— " " Surelythis exclusion is perfectly consistent with the most extensive freedom of religious' seri- , tirnent, nay perhaps it may appear even necessary to its tery etistenee for, as in the case . of Civil Liberty, her preservation demands thatl civil restraint shall be placed on the . efforts•Of ranny"; so in the case of R4tGrous LIBERTY it is essential to the extent'Of toleration, ;bigilamt4y and vigorouslN to restrain a Religion, whose prin ciple Is universal intolerance. It is only the will to enslave, that is, in either case deprived of power; or, according to the inspired prediction of our Gospel-Freedom, it is only Captivity that is led eaptive.'.' The sentiment is borrowed from LOCKE, as acknowledged in a note, but it is'clearly and forcibly expressed. It will he found in the third Of MASON'S Sermons, in CADELL'S Edition of his works, printed in 1811. The parallel is perfect. As to preserve Civil Liberty We must place Strong guards against the incroachments of tyranny ; so to preserve Reli gious freedom, we keep powerful checks against the advances of intolerance ! WICKLIFS. HOUSE OF LORDS. The works are rapidly proceeding, and it is expected that,. they will be ready for the raising of the galleries by Friday or Saturday next, when an extra number of workmen will be introduced to complete the works with rapidity. The gradual ly raised flooring on which the Pecrs'Bench'es are Placed, on each side of the [rouse, in an ob long direction, is being restored on au improved plan ; but the seats will be adjusted according to the previous mode. The frame-work and floor ing of the. galleries are being prepared in a"yard near the House. They will be so constructed and supported, as to be wholly independent of the walls ; the breaking of the sides of the. Inuse, or the removal or damage of any portion of the tapestry, will thus be rendered unnecessary. To guard the tapestry from risk of injury, there,will. be backboards or temporary wainscoting reaching above the height that might be. affected by the passing and repassing of the Peers to their seats. The fronts of the galleries will be 'open; with light cross-barred iron work, surmounted by a hand-rail, covered with scarlet cloth, to accord with the other decorations of the House. At each end of the galleries, there will be a light staircase, to enable the Lords to proceed to thei.t seats. It has already been stated, that no instructions have been given to make any peculiar arrange ments for the accommodation of any parties to the Bill, except an enclosed space below the Bar, for the Counsel, 1% itnesses, &c.; but, that the Queen and her advisers may have every, possible accommodation, rapid and private interviews with each other, facilities for the ingress, egress, and comfort of her Majesty's witnesses and agelits of every description, and suitable apartments for the Queen herself, it has been mentioned that the house of Sir T. Tyrwhitt, in Cotton-garden, an open space behind the House of Lords,'.Will be set apart for 'the exclusive use of her Majesty. There is a carriage entrance to this house ilong Parliament-place, and just above the Itoval . en trance to the House of Lords ; and while it is close to their Lordships' House, it has the addi tional advantage of being completely separated from the general thoroughfare of Old Palace yard. The Bank of Ireland now - actually refuss to receive guineas hi lodgments, and lament they cannot refuse to receive them in payment of bills. The cause of this is the low rate of exchange at present between England and Ireland, by which the money offices are 'enabled to provide them s'elves with gold at 54, which they lodged in the Bank in great abundance,.and drew c=ut the . next day at par; thus securing to themselves: an ex orbitant' profit. To check this, the Bank came to the resolution of not receiving gold in lodg ment§...
