I the ter g the enemies. 'Holland,"nnd that all the - existing Loans kill lie converted - into it. The object of this measure, on the „part of the wise Government of the Netherlands, is doubtless the - reduction of its pub lic debt. It has been . very judiciously remarked by a well informed and intelligent character, that the Governments of Europe, instead of being occu pied with destructive wars, seem to be chiefly engaged in -maturing and executing great finan cial schemes for the relief of their subjects.— By so doing, they indeed niake war upon the property of the rich fundholders in all countries; but.. we fervently hope that' they will. limit their desires to the attainment of bloodless victories of this kind, though the suffering parties are those who. assisted them iO vanquish iheir former From the correct copy which we were enabled to..give yesterday of His MAJEsTr'sSlpeech on the Prorogation of Parliament, our Readers would . see that 'when we stated on T hursday that his MAJESTY would give assurances of the pacific dis:. position's of Foreign Pinv'ers, and would advert 40-, the prosperous condition-of our own country t we in fact . . (with the exception of what his MA 'iESTE said respecting Ireland), anticipated-the purport of the gratis communication made to Parliament from the Throne. The account of the revenue during the present _ quarter is now nearly completed, and we have great pleasure in announcing, that the improve ment in every branch of the public income has - been so great, that the revenue was never in a more flourishing state. The- amount of this quarter will considerably exceed that of the cor responding quarter of last year. In the Customs, in particular, the improvement has been progres sive throughout the quarter, and within the last few weeks the growth of this branch of the revenue has been unprecedentedly rapid. As no merely temporary or fluctuating causes have contributed to swell the public revenue during the present quarter, its increase can be ascribed only to the general augmentation of our trade and manufac tures, and to the revival of agriculture. These sources of prosperity 'will continue to enlarg e themselves. We may the re f ore l o ok forwa rd when Parliament shall again assemble, to see it engaged afresh in considering what reductions shall be effected in the taxation of the country.— We heartily congratulate the British public on the prospects that are opening upon them. From Norway it is stated that all the thirteen propositions submitted to the. Norwegian Diet by the King of SWEDEN have been unanimously re jected. The tendency of these propositions was to make some alterations in the Constitution .favourable to the kingly power. Letters have been received from the Havannah, dated the 19th of May, at which time the public discontent continued to increase, for general ruin would be the inevitable consequence, should the Mexican Government persevere in inter dicting all intercourse between that island and the Mexican Republic. A letter received yes terday, after many complaints against the ex isting state of affairs in Cuba, says—" All goods therefore (not Spanish) sent from hence to Mexico, must be shipped through the United States. Therefore Thompson's Island (late West Key), the naval depot of the United States in these seas, has become a place of some import ance. It lays 77 miles N.W. from hence, and has a custom-house, collector, &c. It has also warehouses for the reception of goods, and has become a great place for the deposit of Flour for the use of this port, &c. &c." Mr. SPRING RICE, previously to the SPEAKER and the Commons going to the House of Lords, yesterday, presented the Report of the Com mons' Committee on the Local Taxation of the City of Dublin.

On Receiving a PRINT of the late CHARLES BURNEY, F.R.S. and S.A., recently presented to the Friends of the Deceased by his Son, Dr. BurtNE Y, of the Academy. at Greenwich. • BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. This filial tribute to an honour'd Sire,' The friends of LEARNING will wish zeal admire'. Lamented BURNEY'S semblance here is seen, His manly features, and his open mein ; But not deep learning was his only, claim, For worth and genius well adorn'd his name. With wit well-bred, with humour frank, but chaste, A compound rare of knowledge, spirit, taste : A Priest with dignity, aloof from pride, A faithful friend, and an enlighten'd guide. Such wert thou, BURNEY, and the world will see Few that in various pow'rs could rival thee. He who in these weak lines now mourns thine end, Long knew and honour'd thee, accomplish'd friend, Sooth'd by the truth that in thy Son we find Congenial merits, and a lineal mind. The late Dr. BUItNEY was Rector of Cliff, and of St. Paul's, Deptford, Kent, Prebendary of Lincoln, and Chaplain in Or. dinary to His MAJESTY. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. STOCKBRIDGB RACES--(CorrcLUDED.)

Lord Kennedy killed 40 birds, and Mr Osbal derston 39. The weather. was most unfavourable, very strong wind and heavy rain prevailing throughout the match. Consi derable bets were depending.

He started at two o'clock in the morning, for the nominal sum of a hundred sove reigns, to perform the task in fifteen hours, and for an extra bet of fifty sovereigns lie engagel to do the first twenty miles in two hours and forty minutes, which he performed with great ease. He passed through Maidenhead, 26 miles, at half-past five o'clock, and he reached the 35 mile stone, four miles east ward of Reading, at eight o'clock. He went from thence in a gig to Sonning, a mile oil', and halted ; he started back with eight hours to do the 35 miles. He won the match easy, after having staid an hour at Hounslow, and the time to spare was 28 minutes. The THIRD GRAND MATCH at TENNIS Was played, on Wednesday last, at the Royal Tennis Court, James-street, between Mr. Cox, Proprietor with Monsieur Louis, against Monsieur Marchuco and Barre, which, after a long and spirited contest, was decided in favour of the former. The Court was crowded by all the Noblemen and Gentlemen amateurs in town. We extract the following from the Morning Chronicle of yesterday. If the allegations of the writer are correct, the case certai►►ly seems to be one that requires investigation. The author of the letter ought, in our opinion, from a sense of duty to the public, to come boldly forward and avow himself, and to substantiate his statement, if he can, by giving the names of all the parties concerned in the affair :--- " CASE OF LUNACY. " A Jury, consisting of fourteen persons, lately sat at the Cross Keys, Great Surrey-street, when the following circum. stances took place :—The object of their deliberation was a young woman, who represented herself as the wife of A. Brouet, residing in a northern county, and whom she had been in the habit of claiming as her husband for a considerable time. On her examination she answered every-question put to her with such apparent sanity and collectedness, that strong doubts of her being deranged appeared to arise in the minds of some of the Jury, and so powerful was this impression on one of them, that when the paper was handed to him fur his signature that was to declare her insane, he respectfully declined to sign it, having very great scruples of conscience on the case. Upon his refusal to follow some of the Jurymen in signing the ver dict, one of the co mm i ss i one rs told him they could do without him, and that he had better leave the room ; upon which he took his hat and withdrew. On inquiry he found that in his absence his name had been erased from the list of Jurymen, and that he was not to be allowed the 10s. 6d. usually paid to persons officiating on these Juries, although he had performed all the duties of the office, excepting that c: ffiniing the young woman insane. P er h aps, Si r , some kind friend to public jus tice, who may be v erse d i n t h e law of such cases, will favour the world with an opinion on this transaction, and which may pro bably elicit something that may yet be favourable to this young. woman, now consigned to a mad-house. " I am, Sir, your constant Reader, " J. M." t , June 24. INTELLIGENCE. tp COURT 'OF KING'S BENCH—(THIS DAY.) _THE RING''D.. LORD . YAILIWROUGH: The LORD CHIEF ,JusTi,cE delivered judgment in this case. It was a qqestion respecting some salt-marshes at the mOuth . of the Humber,• which the Noble Defendant claimed as belonging to , his estates. It consisted of several acres ; the _place joined the sea, but the sea had receded from it. This case was tried at the Derby Assizes, when, from the evidence there adduced, the Jury re turned a verdict for the defendant. His Lord ship said, the Court was of opinion that such verdict was justly returned, and therefore it ought not to be disturbed.—Rule discharged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT--(Turs DAY.) JUDGMENT.—Janzes Nicholls came up to claim his discharge, when he was opposed by . Counsel and creditors in person. It appeared, on dealing with his creditors he represented hirns3ll a man of property, requiring no credit, as hp always possessed a Grenville, meaning a Lord Grenville Exchequer Bill, a t comm a n d. Subsequently, however, insolvent contracted several debts; and to one : of his creditors, who had' entered pro ceedings upon his demand, the insolvent' thought proper to put him to vexatious and unnecessary expences in defending an action.—The CovET, in passing judgrneitt, observed by the in,-.olNent's conduct he subjected himself to We Teniandvd, and therefore the judgment, of the Court was, that he> should be confined within the walls of the prison nine months, for putting his creditors to vexatious and unnecessary expences. MR. ROBERT GOURLAY. It is known that.the . above-named Gentleman has been in custody at Bellamy's Coffee-house, within the walls of the House of Commons, since his assault upon M r. Brougham. Yesterday, in consequence of the prorogation of Parliament, he was, as a - matter of course, discharged ; but it had been thought necessary in certain high quarters to have him still under coer cion, and a warrant for his apprehension was issued ,by the Bow-street Magistrates, and put into the hands of Ellis, one of the officers, who watched Mr. Gourlay from the House of Commons, and followed him as far as Castle -court, Strand, where he took him into custody. At half-past o'clock last evening, he was brought into the public office, and underwent a very long examination. He was accompanied by several friends, and Sir George Tuthill and Dr. Monro were in attend ance, at the desire of the Secretary of State for the Home De partment. _ _ _ Ellis produced his warrant, which he placed before Mr. HALLS, the presiding Magistrate, and deposed to. the fact of apprehending Mr. Gourlay. Thomas Gook was next called, and deposed, that oil Friday, the 11th June, he was on duty, as a constable of Westminster, in the lobby of the House of Conimons. About 10. minutes roast four in the afternoon, he saw Mr. Brougham come into the lobby on his way to the body of the House, and he had got as, far as the first pillar, when Gourlay came close after him, and struck him several bloWs on the shoulders and hat. Wit.. ness got' between them, and said to the defendant, " Sir, do you know what you are doing ?"—" Yes," was the reply, " lie has injured me." 11r. Brougham turned round and said— " Who - is the man, I don't know him—what does he want ?" Mr. Gourley said,-" You will rememb e r my petition about two years ago." He then took a card-case from his pocket and gave Mr. Brougham a card, saying at the same time, " Let the dead bury the dead, but do your duty, by me." Witness then spewed his staff, and told Mr. Brougham that the defendant was in his custody, and he would take care of him. Mr. Broughath de- - sired witness to take care of him; and to see that lie had no fire-arms or other weapons, that he might do no harm to him self or any one else, for lie (Mr. B.) believed that he.was not right in his mind. The defendant made no resistance; he said he saw witness's authority, and most willingly subtpittea to it. in a conversation atterWards, witness asked Min what he meant by the remark " Let the dead bury the dead," and he said it was in allusion to the case of the Missionary Smith, fixed that " night for discussion; adding, that the dead wanted no care, and the living certainly did. He readily gave up the whip, and witness took a penknife from Isis pocket. To questions from Mr. HALLS, the witness said, that taking all the circumstances of the defendant's conduct, his conversa tion, and manners, into consideration, his opinion was at that time that he was insane. Had since altered his mind in consequence of some affidavits he had seen in the public Papers:_ Mr. HALLS.—.Never mind what you have seen since. I only want to know what your opinion was at that time. Gook continued.—Mr. Gourlay said, he had had it some time in centemplation to commit the assault upon 11r. Brougham. The witness related some further conversation relating to facts already before the public. Mr. lIALLs told Mr. Gourlay he was at liberty to put any question he pleased to the witness. Mr. Gout lay—Witness, if you had seen me commit such an act in any other place, would you have thought me insane ? Witness.—l should not. I thought you were insane from your committing such an act in such a place. Mr. Gourlay.—No particular violence, I believe, was used ? —No. If you had seen it in the street, you would have thought it nothing more than a common horse-whipping ?—Certainly. And very mildly administered?—Yes, intended more to hurt the mind than the body. Was there any thing incoherent in what I said ?—No, but I thought it odd, your saying, " Let the dead bury the dead." What, you think quoting the Scriptures a proof of insanity, do you ?—No, I do not. Mr. Gourlay then said, he had not seen the warrant upon which he was taken into custody; and if it was not an im proper question, he would wish to know what was the ob ject in bringing him there ? At whose instance was he brought there ? Mr. HALLS gave no answer. Mr. Gourlay.—You are not my prosecutor. You are the Magistrate only; and there must be an accuser. Mr. HALLS.—You are brought here on my warrant, Sir, nod that is sufficient. An assault has been sworn to, anti -there is quite sufficient for me to call upon you - for an explanation. Have you any to give ? Mr. Gourlay said, that Mr.. Brougham had injured, ne. glected, nay, betrayed him, and lie had adopted that mode of making his. feeling upon the subject known to the public. Mr. HALLS.—And do you call that a rational mode of pro ceeding ?. - - - Mr. — Gourlay.—As rational as such things ever are.. I as sure you, I never was cooler in my life than at that moment. I had determined on the act for four or five months before: I had consulted a friend upon the matter, • Mr. lIALLs.—Who is that friend ? ..... ....-..- . Mr. Gourlay.—His name is Hamilton. He is now abroad ; but I dd not - wish by any means to bring him into any kind of responsibility for my conduct. It was not by his advice; but with his approbation, certainly. Mr. Gourlay went o n t o sa y, that he had, before he went to the .11ousi.-, written a .letter to Sir R. Fergusson, acquainting him with his motives for the step he was about to take. This letter he intended should be forwarded to Sir It. Fergusso.n after he (Mr. Gourlay) had committed the meditated act.. He was aware that such a Step might be construed into an act of insanity, and lie . therefore took that mode of convincing the world that lie was perfectly sane at the time, and that it was a cool and deliberate act. He was not able to meet Mr. Brougham immediately, and he wrote another letter to Sir R. Fergusson, and got a friend of his to put his initials upon the envelope, at the same time re questing that friend t o reco ll ect t h at h e (Mr. Gourlay) was then perfectly cool and collected; for he knew that, under all cir cumstances, the act he contemplated would be misconstrued, and he would be set down as a madman. The friend he al luded to was now here. Mr. James Barber, of 13, Clifton-street, Finsbury-topiare, surgeon, swore that he lodged in the same house with Mr. Gourlay, who had been, 20 years ago, a very intimate friend of bis father's. Witness did not know that the assault was to be committed ; but he recollected, that about ten days or a fort night before it occurred, Mr. Gourlay showed him two sealed letters, requested hint to put his initials to them, and also to recollect that he was then in the same state of coolness that he always was. He said he had some intended business of great importance, and he wished witness to be able to bear testi mony, if it should ever be necessary, that he was perfectly cool and collected. This did not appear to the witne ss at a ll singu lar. He thou g h t t h ere was nothing odd in it. His curiosity was not at all excited. - Mr. Gourlay.-..31r. Barber, you have known me a CO/13i. - - - " i derabletinie--.liave lodged in ffielititielinise, and conversed with me daily:—did it ever strike you that I was a madman ? Mr. Barber—No, I. never. thought so. In answer to questions from-Mr. Hanns, witness said, he had - pot attended particularly` to cases of insanity- he had only seen a . few cases. He never had the least suspicion that Mr. Gourlay -was of unsound mind. Mr. , GOURLAY (to Mr. HALLS.)—I suppose , you are per fectly satisfied with What Mr, Barber has said ? Mr. am 'satisfied, frordyfhat has been said, that further inquirris necessary. • - • Mr. Barber (to further questions). added, that the conduct of Mr: Gour/ay was alWays regular, correct, and proper. Mr. :John William Bannister, a student e law of the Middle Temple, was next called, rlnti examined by Mr. °our lay.—He had known Mr. Gourlay intimately for . nearly three years. He had walked with him, associated with him, and con versed upon all topics with him almost - every day, and he cer tainly never thought him in the slightest degree insane. He was of a singularly enthusiastic turn, but witness " never thought him unfit to conduct himself." He should not think him capable of committing the act imputed to him from any feeling of malevolence. He considered the act just such a one as a person of the defendmt's turn of mind would be likely to commit in a matter in which he thought his honour concerned. He never thought the act indicative of insanity. Mr. Gourlay had nothing revengeful in his disposition—quite the reverse. He was firmly of opinion that no danger whatever could accrue to society from Mr. Gourlay being permitted to go at large. He might go farther, - perhaps, than men of cooler tempera ment would do under the same circumstances, but there were many others living who would proceed to quite as great extre mities, and yet had never been suspected of insanity.- , Mr. Go ar l a y , then, protested; against the present pro cee di ng , and declared, that never from the moment of his birth had he been afflicted with the least aberratidn of intellect. He then entered into a long detail of his suffering s •iri Canada, and explained th e circumstance which led to th assault upon Mr. Brougham.. Mr. Bannister having repeated in the strongest manner his conviction that -Mt. Gourlay was not in the slightest degree insane, -Mr. IlAnns'observed, that there were other Gentlemen pre sent whose evidence Would betaken upon" the subject. Dia. - Sir George Tuthill and Munro were thin sworn, and were about to give evidence, when Mr. Bannister stepped for ward, and with much earnestness said—" I begto observe that I have known Mi: - Gourlay most intimately, - And' have had daily opportunities of witne*ing his manner; and perhaps my testimony ought to be con s id ere d of more weight Oen than that of these Learned Doctors." Sir &entge Tutnill and Dr. Munro were called upon, and the certificates which they had given when Mr. Gourlay was iii confinement at the. House of Commons, and which have already been published, were'read over to them, and the Learned Doc tors said they were still of the same opinion. They had ob served the manner of Mr. Gourlay during the present exami nation, and they were of opinion that he was of unsound mind. Sir George Tuthill added, that he was of opinion that the de fendant was a dangerous person, and not fit to be suffered to go abroad. A long conversation ensued, in which Mr. Gourlay pro tested against the proceedings, but was told by Mr. HALLS that - there was sufficient to warrant his detention. "I do net sit here," said the Magistrate, " to decide upon your sanity or insanity, Mr. Gourlay, and I beg you will understand that ; I shall only pursue the same course with you that I should with others. It is sworn before me that you have committed an assault, and that you are suspected of being an insane person. I shall therefore commit you under the Act of Parliament to the Sessions, there to be further dealt with. You may be bailed if you bring such bail as will satisfy myself and another Magi strate ; and if we should refuse to take it, you will still have an opportunity of applying to the Judges of the land. Mr. Gourlay, after putting several other questions to the Magistrate and physicians, was committed to the. house of Correction, with directions that every possible attention should be shown him. Mr. HALLS assured hint he should experience the treatment due to a gentleman. This examination occupied from half-past . eight o'clock until a quarter past eleven last night. BOW-STREET—(Trus DAY). AN INCORRIGIBLE 'l l lEF.-47nelia Hunter, alias Amelia Glover, was put to the bar, charged with stealing a gold watch, a quantity of silVer spoons, &c. th e p r op er ty of her master, Mr. Archer, of Craven-buildings, Drury-lane, with whom she had but just gon e to live. The .prisoner, who. is but fifteen years of age, seemed to. have .taken up this course of living. with the determination not to stop until she had realized considerable property, as there were several other charges against her of a like nature, particu larly one by the Hall-keeper of the Audit Office, with whom she had also gone to live, and part of whose property was found on her when taken. The other charges were not gone into, but the prisoner was committed on the before-named - two to take her trial at the Old Bailey.
