This was an indictment for perjury, and was one of those numerous cases which have arisen out of the election transac tions of the borough of St. Ives. . The perjury was assigned on the affidavits which bad been sworn by the defendent, who is an elector of St. Ives, on the bearing of a motion for a new trial in the Court of King's Bench, in the case of the " liaise." Mr. liaise had been convicted of perjury at tile late .Assizes, and moved the Court above for a new trial. As soon as the case of the " King v. Tremearne" was railed, Mr.. Aaron °miaow, who presided at Nisi Prinr, adckriwad, the Counsel on both sides, and stated that he had carefully looked over and considered the indictment in this case, and he should only refrain at that moment from stating the opinion which he had formed, for the purpose of giving the Counsel the opportunity of themselves suggesting the course which it was expedient to adopt under the circumstances. He did not wish that it should go out to the world that the Judge had discovered something erroneous in the record, which had escaped the Counsel. !:'ti WAS PUBLISHED THIS DAY. Several other witnesses proved the Seizure, made by the de fendants, and also that it was good meat.

GUILDFORD, FRIDAY, Aua. 27. Before Mr. Baron GRAHAM and a Special Jury. THE KING V. MONTAGU AND OTHERS. This was an indictment against the defendants for a nuisance. The obfect of the indictment was to determine whether the Cor partition of the City of London had, in virtue of its Conservancy of the river Thames, a right to clear a.water.way from the Thames to thelledway, through a creek called Gauntlet Creek, which separates the Isle of Grain from the main land, in the county of Kent. The alleged nuisance was in widening and deepening the creek in question, at a spot called Grain Bridge, by the removal of a considerable quantity of soil, and thereby destroying a land communication between the island and the adjacent country. The indictment had been originally found in the county of Kent; but, with a view to a disinterested and impartial trial, it was agreed that the question intended to be raised should be determined by a Jury of this county. In order that the Jury might understand the question, most of them had had a view of the /ova in quo. The trial of the case commenced yesterday afternoon. A great body of evidence was adduced on both 'Odes, but though the question involved was one of considerable importance, yet it would be quite unnecessary to enter into a minute detail of the evidence given by each witness. Mr. Baron Git ALIA at summed up the case to the Jury, and dwelt upon the circumstance that, according to the charter, the City Of London had only a right of conservancy as far as the mouth of the creek in question, and that only with respect to the preservation of the fishery of the Thames ; and also to the extraordinary fact that the Corporation had never, on any firmer occasion, attempted to exercise an authority to the extent now insisted upon. Big Lordship also observed, that there was by no means any sati , .'actory proof, within living memory, that the spot in qUestion was even a navigable water.way ; and it nut, then, coupled with the other circumstances, the defendants hod' no right to do the act charged against them as a nuisance. The Jury immediately found the defendants Guilty, thereby negativing the jurisdiction of the Corporation of London over the spot in question.—The trial ended today at one o'clock. OXFORD CIRCUIT:—GLOTICESTER, Au 0,20: (Before Mr. Justice PARK. WILLIAM PANTING (11Y HIS GUARDIAN) v. Lotrs HAN COCK, WILLIAM ,sTlrr, DANIEL' WHITE, AND NEHE MIAH This was an action of trespass, bronght against the defend ants for taking and seizing the plaintiff's meat, &c. The de fendants pleaded, first, the general issue ; and secondly, that they were justified in the seizure, as two of the defendants were duly authorized, in their character of Carnal, or Cardinals of the market (appointed by the Lord of the Manor), to seize the meat and destroy it, as it was unwholesome, offensive meat, and unfit for the use of man ;- and the other two defendants acted as the servants of the Cardinals. . _ Mr. Carus opened the pleadings, anti Mr. Lin)Low stated the case to the Jury. '1 he plaintiff was a young man under age, who sued by his g u ar di an . Il e was b y tra d e a b utc h er , and a short time before December last, he commenced business at Dursley Market. Two of the defendants are butchers ' and it would appear that they, b e i ng j ea l ous o f t h e increasing busi siness of plaintiff, conspired to injure him, by seizing his meat and burning it in the open market. It would be proved that the meat was sweet and good, by evidence that could not be questioned. The consequence of the illegal conduct of the defendants was, that the plaintiff's trade had been ruined, anti he had been compelled to leave the place, and begin business elsewhere. lie (Mr. Ludlow) called• upon the Jury to give such damages as would be a fair compensation to the plaintiff for the injury his feelings and character had sustained; and pro ceeded to call the following evidence:— • Samuel Davies and Ephraim Mainston proved that a fat pig, and in good condition, was sold to the plutntiff, and he drove it home. _ Richard Taylor.—l am a butcher; I reside at Dursley. On December 6, 1 had a stall near Panting's • and saw the joints of a pig 0i) his stall. It was a porker, an d was very . fat, fine, and good meat, I know Daniel White, he is a butcher, and keeps Dursley Market; so is Nehemiah Stiff. James Hancock and William Stiff are the two cardinal* of the market. The cardinals do not wear a particular dresi in the market. On the morning of Oth December, I saw the defendants go to the plain. tiff's stall. White took up a piece, of the plaintiff 's pork, and put it towards Hancock's nose, who smelled it, and said " that don't stink." White took up another piece, and said, " Don't that stink ?. Take it away ; if you don't I'll fins you." The four defendants then put the meat into a basket, and took it to a place called the Hull.ring, and after a long preamble they, put fire to it and horned it. Mr. Justice Panx.—Did they•make a speech ? Mr. CAMPBELL.—Thrx passed sentence befofe execution. Witness.—The people raised an outcry, and crid Shame !" at seeing such nice meat burnt. I thought they would not have done such a thing, but they did at last.- Several persons looked at the meat; a. Mr. Woodward and Mr. Dimery exa. mined it, and said it was good meat. 'Soue of the meat was afterwards produced before a Magistrate, and all present said it was good meat. The defendants said nothing. Mr. Pur nell the Magistrate said the meat would speak for itself, it was very good. Cross examined by Mr. TAUNTON.—The defendant might say before the Magistrate that they seized the ineat, because it was bad ; I don't remember ; 100 people were present at the time of the meat being burnt, and some of the people seized it and took it away. John French--I have been a butcher 21 years; I saw the pig in Mr. Panting's shop on 6th Dedember ; I knew the pig came from Davies'; It was fine meat; Panting had no other pig at that time ; I saw the defendant, Daniel White, come up to the stall, and ask if that meat was good 1 0 I said, "yes, it is." Ile said, " I think not," and went away. Soon after wardS the four defendants Came up to the 'plaintiff's 'stall, and seized the meat and carried it off. Paating was crying and making lamentation. I took a spare rib from the meat, as the defendants were carrying it away. The plaintiff said, at that time, that he, bought the pig of Mr. Davies. White said it was a pig that had met with an accident coming from Mouees.. ter market. The spare rib I took was very good indeed; Mrs. 'oodward took a bit of the belly part ; I said it is a shame to CARLISLE, WEDNESDAY, A uo. 25. . The Judges arrived in Carlisle yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, and immediately opened his Majesty's Commis sion of Oyer and Terminer for the County of Cumberland, in the different County Courts. This morning they heard Divine Service at the Cathedral, and afterwards proceeded to the Courts, and transacted the business of the Assizes. Mr. Justice BAYLEY preaided in the Criminal, and Mr. Baron H uz.Loc.K in the Civil Court. CUIMINAL SIDE. The calendar is considered heavy for this county. It Contains five charges of privately stealing from the person, two of high way robbery, one of obtaining money under false pretences, one of burglary, one of manslaughter, one of sheep-stealing, one of assault, one of bigamy, and two for uttering forged notes on the 1V hiteliaven Bank, knowing them to he fin:genes. After Mr. Justice flavx.r;s• had taken his seat in this Court, the Grand Jury was sworn in, the usual formalities having been previously gone throh. The following were the names of the Gentlemen who serve upon it : Lord Viscount Lowther, M.P. W. James, Esq. MT. Foreman T. Wyberg, Esq. The Right lion. Lord W. C. E. Basle, Esq. 'Bentinck, M.P. H.

It was their duty, as Grand Jurors, to see that the • train of evidenee was perfect; because, if it were imperfect, the t o l b4i i n n i bill ought to be thrown o ut , I n order to give the party an op portunityut presenting another when his evidence was more satisfactory. There was one case of an individual against whom's , the chief evidence appeared to be the possession or the stolen :proPerty shortly after the theft was committed. To anthorhe them finding a hill in that case, they must . consider whether the individu a l was so near the house at the tithe, as to justify a belief that he was present when the theft was committed. , There way another case, in which a ser vant, had taken a watch out of the silo in 'whichl • p was in the habit of making them. They would consider whether the evidence offered in that case tended to establish more than lesuseicion against the party accused. Before they separated, he would request them to inspect the state of the p re sent gaol, and also of that which was then building. He had had great satisfaction in observing that put of it which was begun, and he hoped that some of the unseen good that resulted from an improved state of prison difficulty would be produced by the regulations they introduced into it. They were most likely aware, that.by an Act of Parliament passed in the last Session, it was in the power of Magistrates to give orders that prisoners under sentence of transportation should be employed in prison before they were transported ; and he had no doubt but that they would take care that every thing was done by them that could meet the intentions of Parliament in that case. He was sorry to observe, by the return of the. gaoler, that. the Act of Parliament had not us yet been carried into execution in their prison. It was desirable, however, that it should be put in force, not only with regard to persons sentenced to trans portation, but also with regard to persona who :were sentenced to imprisonment for their offences. He would take an instance, in which they would immediately see the .mischief that was done tothe prisoner and the public, by keeping him in idle ness. He would put a case—and, indeed, their calendar con tained such a case—where it lad was committed to prison for a month, for deserting his master. If whil s t in prison he was permitted to remain in perfect idleness, was he likely to do good when he went out, or to be contaminated by the associa tion of a gaol? If he were properly worked during his con finement, ire might be ready to make some atonement to his master, and inighteven leave prison a better man than when he entered it. If they would turn their attention to the em ployment of prisoners, he was certain that good would arise from any suggestions they might be inclined to make. With .these remarks he should leave them: to the discharge of their functions as Grand Jurors. . There was no cases of any interest tried in either Court dur ing the remainder of the day.

Well now, Si r , i s t h a t ,tames Spargo's h an d -wr i t i ng ?. Why, to be sure it is.—(Much laughter.) The following scene excited some merriment likewise. A .ease was called on, and as the attendance of jurymen was not very numerous, the Associate was under the necessity of call. , ing a great many names. At length he arrived at a aeries of five names, the first of which being called, a voice in the Co u rt exclaimed—" He is ill." The next nam e was ca ll e d. The same voice--" III." Anoth er name. The same vo i ce— " Ill" • Another name. Same voice—" Ill"—and this was repeated. As sooh as the fifth name was called, Mr.-Itaron GAUKOW ordered the person who hid been Thus After a short discussion, during which it appeared that there could be no doubt that the indictment must be quashed, on ac count of a variety of material errors, Mr. Baron ()Miaow said, that though he was obliged to try every case which was set down for him ' yet he had anotherduty, to the obligations of whi c h h e must likewise attend, viz. he must take care not improvidently to waste the time of the county. In the present instance he had the authority of the Learned Chief Justice, with whom he had conferred on the subject., for saying that the errors in the indict me nt were so g l ar i ng t h at i t would ' be a perfectly useless occupation of the time of the Court to proceed with the inquiry, since every body was persuaded that if conviction followed, the Court above never would pro. nounce judgment. Under these circumstances, he thought it expedient to come to the determination of not trying the in. dictment, whereby he would avoid on the one hand an unne cessary waste of time, anti on the other, withhold from the party in the record. accusedlt the benefit of an acquittal by virtue of formal errors THE RING V. ROSEVEAR. This was an indictment for perjury, and the perjury was as. signed on the examination of the defendant on the trial of an action at the Spring Assizes of 1823, for the county of Cornwall. Mr. Sergeant PELG stated, that the defendant was a person of very respectable character, residing in the borough of Ca. nielford. 'rhe circumstances which gave rise to the present indictment were these :—At the Spring Assizes ftir 1823 an action was tried, " Doe, on the demise of Cock, v. Dempt." The object of the suit was to recover possession of certain lands and premises called Culloden, and situated within the pre. ducts of the borough of Camelford. The plaintiff had to make out his title, and slid so, by sliewing be held under a person named Staysley, who was represented-to have held under Rose. year, the present defendant. Rosevear was called by the de. fentlant Dempt, and stated, in his examination, that he never parted with the interest of the fields, but of the house ; and next, that lie did not know that James Harvey otisred, in June, 1822, to take the three fields from Staveley. Ile should show, first, that Rosevear made this statement on oath ; that the statement was material to the issue; and that it was false. Mr. George Cherer, examined by Mr. ADAll.—What he now produced is an examined copy of the record of nisi prius of the action of " Doe, demise Cock, r. Denipt." Witness examined the copy at the house of Mr. Edge, in Essex-street.. Witness does not know what office it was he was taken to. He could not undertake to illy what Mr. Edge was. He examined the copy with what he understood to be the Judgment 8011. • Mr. Baron (JARROW said that he could not receive this as evidence. 31r. Sergeant Wit.nr, the Counsel for the defendant, was about to cross-examine the witness. when The JUDGE said—Brother Wilde, you need not trouble yourself by asking any questions. The Counsel on the other side are at present at a most awful distance from any thing like an approach to evidence. '3lr. Wallace, en attorney, was then &led, whose evidence was not sufficient to mend the imperfection ; and, after sosiie discussion, The .1 tmor directed the Jury to acquit the defendant, as the prosecutor had failed to prove his case. The Jury acquitted the defendant. POISON BY SUPPOSED MUSHROOMS On Thursday, the 19th instant, a man and his wife, whose names were Joseph and Margaretta Wilson, ar rived in March, in the Isle of Ely, from St. Ives, and applied to the overseer of the poor for money to pay their lodgings, who gave them 6d. for that purpose. They went to a lodging house, kept by a person named Wm. Ginby, and asked for a saucepan to stew some mushrooms for their supper ; whilst in the act of preparing them, the woman of the house observed " they were not mushrooms, but what she and her neighbours called toadstools." The female, who was a Frenchwoman, said " they were champignons, and what were commonly eaten in her country ; and prepared them for supper accordingly.— After stewing for sonic time, they were put into a dish, and Wilson and his wife began to eat of them. An Irishman, who was lodging in the same house, was induced to taste them, and ate about a spoonful; a daughter of May's, aged about fourteen, took and ate a saucer-full. The woman of the house also tasted them ; she said she thought they were very sweet, and recommended' a little pepper, and some flour to . thicken them with, which she gave for that purpose. The poor creatures, hungry and unconscious of the de:4y nature of their food, ate near two quarts of the stew, and went to bed about nine o'clock ; they slept in the saute room with the Irishman . ; after being in bed about three hours, they were seized with a violent retching, which continued throughout the night, and , until seven o'clock the next morning, when they were first seen by Mrs. Ginby; they were in a truly deplorable situation, in excruciating agony, and dreadfully exhausted. A Surgeon was sent for, who, upon learning what they bad eaten the night be fore, requested to see the remainder, and then had no doubt they were suffering tinder the effects prod uce d b y t h e i r ,ea ti ng poisonous fungi. All necessary means were used for their reco very, but they languished until Saturday afternoon, when, both expired within two hours of each other, the man dying at two. and the woman at four o'clock. The same dayi inquisitions were taken on view of the bodies . by Mr. Pratt, of March, one of the Coroners for the Isle of Eli,. When the above particulars appeared in evidence and the ,f ury returned a verdict that the deceased t° Died of diokra r4Q4us, occasioned by' eating poisonous fungi, which they mistook for mushrooms." Upon the Coroner and Jury, attended by Mr. Culled e, loon, going to view the bodies of the deceased persons, their at. tention was drawn to.Rebecca Ginby, the daug hter , of the keeper of the lodging-house, who lay upon a bed man alarm ing and distressed situation ; she had, as above - observed, partaken of the stew, but did not show any dangerous symptoms of disease until Saturday, when her parents were so rota ; tuated as not to believe that chic was illin consequence of what she had eaten, that they never availed thernseivea of the as sistance of Mr. Wedge (although he was many times tinder the same roof in attendance upon `Wilson and his wife) until .it was past the power of medicine to give any relief: .The unfor tunate girl languished until Sunday morning atilo'clock, when she expired in the most dreadful agony. The same day an in quest was taken before Mr. Pratt, and a verdict returned as in the former instances. Wilson and Ids wife were complete strangers in the town of March ; they informed Mr. Grounds and Mr. Elliot, the over seers, that they were on their way from Knightsbridge to Roll, where the man was born, and had a brother living; that lie was an oil-cloth painter by trade, and had been a soldier and pri soner in France, where he married his wife. A certificate of marriage was found in their possession but so much intatilatea as to be illegible.—( Cunibridge.(.9ouniele..) The two Dissenting Ministers sentenced to a month's imprisonment and the tread-mill in Aylesbury gaol, were on Wednesday released by an order from the committing Magistrate, the Rev. Mr. Lowndes. FREE PRESS IN INDIA. !VII, EDITOR—It is with painful .sensations that I have perused the discussions on the sub ject of a Free Press in India, and I wish it were in my power to point out as clearly as I conceive the injury such discussions otay occasion to this country, to the natives•of India, , and to the tura peans residing there ; evieu Were I capable, perhaps the topic would be better omitted. • I ant proud of being an Knglislnan, andi I trust, as true a lover of freedom, a n d us s i ncere a well-wisher for the' happiness of the, Ilindoos, as any of the advocates for a free rress hrinflia 'and it is with m uc h gratniriktion.tlisA, used Sir J. MaLcoot.'s speech •in thus- India House,. and Capt. SISY'S letters, in your,yalu able and impartial Paper. I regret.exceedingly that there existed a necessity for their corning for ward to open the eyes of the. inhabitants of Great Britain to the dangerous machinations of a party, many of idiom, no doubt, act from the best of motives, but with mistaken notions.; others 1 fear act not from the same principles, and have not (as they pretend) the welfare of this country, Ilindoostan, and mankind in gene- ral, at heart. The fallacy of their reasoning, and their exaggerat:ng every circumstance tending to promote their own will :s, create a belief that their aim is to raise disturbances in ail quar tets. Few of the inhabitants on Great Britain are aware how much they are deceived by a great number of the publications on the Ilindoos and their religious ceremonies, some of which are fabrications, and many are full of exaggera tions, representing circumstances incorrectly, and in order to produce the greater effect on the minds and feelings of a sensitive people. I mean not to advocate all their customs and religious ceremonies, many of which are a ppalliug to a European of any sensibility ; I «ish only that such Measures may be pursued as arc likely to occasion their disuse ; but I am persuaded that a Free Press, coercion, or the interference of Mis. sionaries from this country, with their religion, will have a - direct contrary elect to that which Is intended. I consider that we hold our territories in India by OPINION, and the mild tenents of the Hint loo religion, which consists not merely in faith, or form of worship, but governs alt their actions through life; they, being .from childhood taught to eat, drink, sleep, and do every thing agreeably to their religion and the dictates of their Brill.

Although theyitre. sensible of the happiness they enjoy under their present government in comparison with what they enjoyed previous to it, in time it will bu forgal ten, and many of the present generation Wilt not consider what they were, but what .they are and may be. There are many traits' in the Hindoo character : we 11)11.“ morally Alitai,4 prove, yet we must all allow them to . be. Ia mild unaspiring people, and easily' governed.
