TIIE LONDON YOURNAIS. bAILY grtracts from the Morning Papers, July 31. tuntlysit enstss.l Arkices from Hanover state, that the Ministers of the Kingdom have recently had several porlant consultations, the subject of which was generally understood tin be, the sending troops to Portugal; the result of these deliberations, it is added, has been forwarded to this country.-- The' German Journals contain , numerous details of the late storm. In the Duchy of Luxem• bet* it web severely felt, the roofs of the houses aad public buildings were blown off; trees torn up by the roots, and even• the ground deeply furrowed, so that, in minty places, the country, for tett leagues in length and one In breadth, is a complete scone of desolation. In Saxony and Bohemia great damage was done to the marsh landthy the continued rains. Between the 30th of June and the Ist of this month the Elbe rose upwards of 14 feet, and destroyed the crops on tl,OOO acres of land. Such an inundation has not been known in Germany for the last 40 years. i ctIEW TIMES,] Oen and utch Papers to recent dates reached us last night. The article dated Frank. fort will afford considerable amusement to Lord Holland, and will probably induce his Lordship to set to work immediately to prepare another harangue against the Holy Alliance. It is very strange that Monarchs on the Continent should be offended at the abuse lavished on them, since it has long been considered as the undoubted privilege of an Englishman to abuse all and sundry Governments, his own not excepted. That be may long be able to dcr so with the same per• feet security , as Lord Holland may do so now, is to be desired, as well for the good of liberty in general as of our own freedom in particular. It would not be altogether unbecoming, however, in our Senators, seeing that their dignity is unus. sailed, if they exercised their power with mode. ration, and with some regard to decorum and to -the neutral policy of their own country. [MORNING HERALD.] Wednesday's Paris Papers arrived last night. There appears room to suppose that the King of France is in a worse state of health. Ile did not take, his accustomed airing, and the review by Mai of the troops at Versailles was postponed. Ile appears, however, to have transacted busi ness with the Minister of Finance in his cabinet. There is no news in these papers, but abundant matter of speculation for those who follow close ly the party politics and cabals at Paris, in and out of the Court. The Ministry is literally pelted by the Royalist Opposition, and for that reason rather finds grace with the Liberals. It is Intimated that it must resort to two measures of an obnoxious character to support Itself— marching a whole squadron of its own adherents into the Chamber of Peers, in order to obtain a majority there—and re-establiehing a Censorship of tho Journals. There appears a groat probabi lity that France will acknowledge the Indepen dence of St. Domingo--no great boon, established as its independence is do facto —but which is to be compensated by commercial advantages pro vided in the treaty. [MORNING POST.] iiifench Paper; to the 29th inyl., and the Eloile or Thursday, - reached us last night, by Express. Their contents are not highly important. The gives extracts of letters from Constatt tinople of "118 late a date as the 4th inst., accord it qf 'to which Lord Strangford bud declared to theaeis-Effentli, in a conference holden on the 23d of June, that the King his master had re. celled all the English Officers who had engaged 1414110:service of the Greeks, and that the British Qabinet would abstain from taking any direct or indireet part in the existing war, citing as a proof otthisolle events in Ithaca, "in which the Eng -1410001 Showed that they were far from bring disposed to aid the Christian Insurgents." Now whatever , truth there may be in the statements at. Winged to his Lordship, we are convinced that be could never have so far. forgotten his own character IlMe'Christiiin and the , representative of a Chris -o“l'MOillfreil and people, as to make it a merit in. the eyes of a Mussulman Minister that the cense orChristianity has been deserted, end that hit Sovereign and countrymen " were fur from , being disposed to aid Christian insurgents." For what would be more false or calumnious than to say, that, however 'checked by prudential and political motives, such a disposition did not exist ? The assertion that be used such language is,a libel on the Noble Lord himself, and no doubt proceeds from the zealous hostility of those who Beige every opportunity abroad of attempt ing 1 0 degrade the British character. How ever this•nmy be, the communicatious made, are said to hare 'so completely satisfied the Reiss Effendi, that he eagerly delivered to Lord Strangford a written promise to evacuate Walla. chic forthwith, owl ,Moklaviain a very short time, and to replace ever y thing in these two Princi polities on Use. same footing as it existed in - 1821, before the explosion of the insurrection. Lord titrangford, added, then announced timet ar rival of Itaissian Ambassador ; and on he 3d of JUirdlspatched a courier to London. , trux TimE4.l „ 4%4 pea or the public who are not fam iliar with dinette's-I:condition of affairs in Portugal— "" d"ivitttUes, personal as well as politi cal, which have been played for there—or with the very important 'station which Marshal Beres ford 11" been "ant to occupy at the Court and In the Palace of JCilitt Vi,, will h ea r, perhaps, ar iot, .surprise, and even with concern, that he ma y lie hourly expected home, as the 18th instant wasp we understand, the day appoint ad for his L° lllBl4 o "nhilrkation. Various rutnoura., of courseove e i rcuhtted here and at Lisbon respecting the motive s •whi c h have In fluted 'pie "Noble Lord's return,' it I t he vo. ecessity, Watery—or as to the camas of its n ti', Ferchance, it should tura out to be compuislye.i —lt is possible, say his Lordship's friends, that ids manly mind may have taken some disgust at :the compile* and profligate intrigues which have been developing themselves for so long a time Ot Lisbon. It is eke barely possible, as has been affirmed by those who are not Lord Beresford's friends, that the interest with which his Lordship regarded the scene was not quite that of an indignant spectator, and that his temper was irritated less by the unseeming ly violence, or selfish baseness, which charac terised the proceedings of the factious, than by the consequences in which they have resulted. It was from the Constitutional Government that Lord Beresford's grandeur and ascendancy in Portugal received their mortal blow. We are not certain whether the name he bears be signal ized itt its native country for any indiscreet at tachment to the cause of freedom. His profession of a soldier, undoubtedly, would not bias him against that course of political machinations whose object was to substitute a sharp and over bearing despotism for a state of imperfect liberty, but whether a direct bias in favour of the female tyrant and her graceless offspring was really com municated to his Lordship's affections from any less avowed or less pardonable source than that of natural resentment, or professional habit, it belongs not to us to decide. The statements which we copy out of a Cornish paper, although commu nicated in letters from Lisbon, dated so far back as the 20th of June, must be looked upon as re markable at least. What truth may appertain to them will appear hereafter : if false or ex aggerated, the person whose reputation they most deeply affect, must feel some desire to strip them of all undue authority. Certain weak nesses to which men of even a very rugged and masculine frame of character are prone, have led them ere now into embarrasments of a critical na ture. It would be odd and lamentable, though not incredible, far less do we assort it to be true, that an English Ambassador should have been induced by the representations of any Bri tish subject, himself infatuated by the in fluence of a Portuguese woman, to sign, joint ly with a French Minister, for instance, an order sanctioning the entrance of French troops into Portugal ! We say, that if such a case should in future be brought home to any British subjects—no matter how high in rank, how grave in function, or how little worthy of consideration in any other point of view—the novelty of such a fact is not the only character istic by which it would excite the wonder of the people of England. In the mean time it has been mentioned to us, that Sir Edward Thornton is about to be recalled, and Sir Wm. A'Court will succeed him ut Lisbon. The vacancy at Madrid may be filled from Paris, or by a Minister now on his return from a more distant Court. And in the general move, we take it for granted that Lord Francis Conyngham will not be altogether forgotten. [muumuu/ cu[t/1./lox.] Among the extracts from German and Dutch Papers, in another column, will be found au ac count of two Edicts which have been just. issued at Vienna ; one "oti them prohibiting Lady Ox ford, Mrs. Hutchinson, Lord Holland, Lady Morgan, and a Danish Lady, from entering any part of the Austrian domiuions, and ordering their instant removal, should they have already entered ; the second commanding the proper au thorities not to suffer any persons who appear suspicious to enter these same dominions. The pre text for prohibiting Lady Oxford, Mrs. Hutchin son, and the Danish Lady, is the order issued by the French Government some time ago. Lady Morgan has drawn down on herself the ven geance of the Austrian Government by the man ner in which she speaks of it in her well-known work on Italy. The ground assigned for &limy ing to Lord Holland the pleasure of a view of any part of the Austrian Dominions is to be sure curi ous enough : 44 Lord Holland, who is well known us an enthusiastic adherent of Itadicalism,and even l in the English Parliament openly utters the most insolent abuse of the Allied Monarchs !" This is p re tty well for a beginning. So because Lord H o lland abuses the Allied Monarchs in the Eng lish Parliament, he is to be prohibited from en tering the Austrian Dominions! Of course, the other Allied Monarchs will follow this example in good timer—though, we suppose, there is not much danger of his Lordship's choosing to make the tour of Russia. This is a pretty expressive hint to the English Parliament, 46 Good Lords and Gentlemen, keep a civil tongue in your head. If you will speak of the Allied Monarchs, let your language be courteous end respectful, or the fair fields of Italy you shall never behold.— An Austrian Corporal, when he receives the or ders, will pay no more attention to the Proprietor of a dozen of Boroughs than to the servant who wears his livery ; and however comfortably you may be settled for the season at Pisa or Florence, you must shift your quarters at a moment's warn ing, when Prince Metternich gives the word." We again and again told our Aristocracy that they were cutting up their own consequence by the roots, when they ranged themselves on the of the Holy Alliance, and triumphed with side them, when one people after another were stript of their liberties. When the Consti tutional Governments of Naples and Piedmont were destroyed by Austria, their joy was un speakable,— When King Ferdinand was restored to the Church, a smile of satisfaction played on the countenance of every anti-jacobin. If they had but reflected a moment, they would have seen that the victories, at which they rejoiced, were really victories over themselves. We told them that the moment the hands of the Allied Monarchs should be at full liberty, they would be raised against them. The Hardware, Captain EnOISAL, arrived on Monday from Lisbon, sailed on the 10th instant. We u nderstand that, when the Hardware left, considerable apprehensions were entertained of another insurrection In that city, as some com m otion had already taken place among the party attached to the interests of the Queen.---(Liver pool Courier.) Bridge-street, Blackfrlars, is undergoing the process of macadamization. Tlig . 'LEV. THOMAS MAUItICg. The foll Owing is abridged From a long and 'in!. teresting Memoir of this distinguished Scholar, in the Gentleman's Magasine. • Died, on the 30th of March, at his apartments In the British Museum, after a long and painful illness ? in his 70th year, the Rev. THOMAS MAunica, M.A. Assistant Keeper of the MSS. in that Institution, and Vicar of Cudham, Kent, and Wormleighton, Warwi ckshire.—Mr. Maurice finished his school-education at the establishment of the justly-celebrated Dr. Parr at Stanmore ; and at 19 Mr. Maurice was entered at St. John's College, Oxford ; and in about a year afterwards re. moved to University College, under the tuition of the present Lord Stowell.—Whilst at the University he cultivated his poetic talents.—Among the ems published about this time, besides his translation of the tEdipus Tyrannus were, " The School Boy, a Poem, written in imitetion of the Splendid Shilling," 4to. 1775; " The Oxonian," a poem, which accurately -de scribed the scenes then too prevalent in that now reformed Uni versity ; " Netherby," a Poem, 4to. 1778 ; " Ilagley," a Poem, 4to. 1777; " Monody to the Memory of the Duchess of Nor thumberland ' ." " Warley," a Satire, 4to.l77o.—After taking his degree of B. A. he was ordained by the great and good Bishop Lowth ; and became Curate, at the recommendation of Dr. Wetherell, Master of trniversity College, to the Rev. John Shepherd, rector of_Woodford in Essex.—ln 1778 he preached a Fast Sermon at W`otlford, which was the only sermon he ever printed; and dedicated it to Lord North.—ln 1770 he also preached an Assize Sermon et Chelmsford before Lord Chief Justice Mansfield and Justice Ashhurtit. This was not {minted; but copious extracts from it are given in Mr. Alaurice's Memoirs, Part 111. pp. 75-131.—1 n 1779 he published, by subscription, a volume of hi s Po e ms and Mis cellaneous Pieces ; with his Translation of the (Edipus Tyrannus of Sophocles.—ln 1782 his Muse. seized a popular subject, and composed " lerne Retliviva," an Ode addressed to the Volunteers of Ireland; and in 1704, first appeared his Elegiac Poem, "Westminster Abbey." A second edition of this Work appeared In 1013 in a more splendid form ; accom panied with other occasional Poems, and his Translation of the (Edipus 'l'yrannus of Sophocles.—About 1783 he first began to meditate a history of India, drawn up in a popular way, from the era of the invasion of that country by Alexander down to the time that Mr. Orme's work commences. To detail the his. tory of 2000 years was no trifling concern; but Mr. M. ap plied himself resolutely to the task, devoting at least three or four hours a day for five years to perusing, translating, revis. ing, and arranging his materials.—His intimacy with the God frey family, who resided at Woodford, was attended with one circumstance peculiarly fortunate, as through it he gained ac cess to the Indian books and papers of that family, who had long resided in the East. Mr. Godfre was the guardian of the lady whom Mr. Maurice married in I'/06. She was the daugh ter of Thomas Pearce, Esq. a Captain in the service of the East India Company. This amiable lady lived only four years subsequent to this union. Her death was to Mr. Mau rice of very serious and lasting consequence, for it deprived him of the comforts of domestic life, and compelled him to seek society abroad, to the indiscriminate enjoyment of which he was too much devoted. He bewailed his loss in an elegant poetical Epitaph, which possesses very considerable merit, and is printed in his Poems. In 1709 our author's Muse assumed a bolder flight, in " Pantiles, or the Captive Bride," a tragedy founded on a story in Xenophon. To which he added, " An Elegy on the Memory of the Duke of Northumberland."... To revert to his great work on Indian Antiquities. Mr. Mau. rice had nearly completed his arduous task, when the French Revolution broke out; and neither his conviction, the result of education and reflection, nor his profession, would permit him to publish any thing respecting India, without an effort at least to refute the argument and subvert the hypothesis of the. .theists of the day, who had taken their stand to endeavour to root out Christianity and demoralize the world. His nearly. finished work was therefore laid aside, and an ample field was to be traversed. New books were to be procured, and toil some vigils endured. Three more years were therefore con. sumed in this investigation ; and at leng th , Indian Antiquities, in 1791, his two first volumes appeared under the title of or Dissertations relative to the ancient Geographical Divisions, the pure System of primeval Theology, the grand Code of Civil Laws, the original Form of Government, and the various and profound Literature of Hindman, compared throughout with the Religion, Laws, Government, and Literature of Per sia, Egypt, and Greece; the whole intended as introductory to the History of Hindman, upon a comprehensive scale," Ovo. with plates.—This work was written with great labour, perspi cuity, and talent, and it embraced a multitude of important objects. The various and complicated subjects in the Maser union on the Indian Theology, may be judged of by the Sum mary of their Contents prefixed to these volumes.--A third vo. lume wen produced in the following year,_ in which not only the rites precasted within the pagodas, but the singular style of architecture of Indian pagodas themselves;, was slitenoilrelY discussed.—A fourth Ippeared in 1794, in which at great length he enforced and illustrated the doctrine of the Trinity from the universal prevalence in Asitiof the doctrine of divine 'triads.---A fifth volume followed shortly after, in which that important subject was resumed ; while the concluding portion of it contained strictures relative to the almost incredible excruciat. ing penances of the Hindoos, and the Indian Metempsy?hozi3. A considerable pause in the publication here ensued, occa. sioned by impaired health and exhausted funds; but in 1790, chiefly through the princely liberality of the late lion. and Rev. Robert, fourth Earl of Harborough, a sixth volume was published, divided into two parts, of which Part I. contained A Dissertation on the peculier Superstitions of the Sect of Buddha, compared with those' f the Druids of Europe, whose reverence for rocks and stones of enormous dimensions seems to have been congenial ; and Part 11. a Dissertation on the Commerce carried on by the Plicenleians and ancient Greeks with the British Islands for Tin. The seventh and final vo lume contained discourses on the immense treasures in gems and bullion* possessed by the antient Indian Monarchs, and the arts and manufactures of India, which were in a great de gree the sources of those treasures. An analysis of the insti tutions of Menu, their celebrated law-giver ; and extensive strictures on the ancient form of government established among that celebrated people, concluded the work. The demise of Sir W. Jones, in 1794, threw a gloom over the literary and philoso phical world. Allem. obtaining an inimense reputation in Eu rope, he recurred to Asia, and reaped new laurels by investi gating the mythology and antiquities of that distant quarter of ' the world. Mr. Maurice was known to Sir William at Oxford, had been honoured with his friendship at an early period of life, and had received the must flattering encouragement of his', work on India, by a letter from Sir AVilliani, transmitted from Calcutta. No sooner was the loss of this extrardinary man received, than Mr. Maurice's lyre was strung to his praise, in " An Elegiac Poem sacred to the memory and virtues of the Honourable Sir William Jones, one of the Judges et' the Supreme Court of Judicature in Bengal ; con taining an historical Retrospect of the Progress of Science and Foreign Conquest in Asia, " 1795. This poetical tribute met with no common share of deserved applause. In June 1795 lie engaged with his worthy friend Thos. Ilammersley, Esq. of I'all Mall, in carrzing on a series of Biographical Es says, entitled " Records of Merit," which were inserted in the Morning Herald. The first number by Mr. Maurice, was a detail of the private virtues of Sir W. Jones ,• the second, by Mr. Ilammersley, contained anecdote, of his friend Mr. Part. ington the lawyer' and the thi r d art i c l e was ent i t l e d " A nna, or exalted Virtue in inferior Station." Under this veil Mr. Maurice describes the melancholy history of his own mother, to whom he was ardently attached. In time same year (1795) ap. peered the first volume of' his " History of Ilindostan ;" its Arts and its Sciences, as conn ecte d w i t h t h e hi story of the other with numerous ill ustrat i ve Engravings, " 4to. In this great empires of Asia, during th e m o st ancient periods of the world ; volume Mr. Maurice discusses the curious and important topics of Cosmogon y; the four \lupe or gra nd as tronomical primitive race , &c. The second volume of this work followed in 1 p eriods ; Indian the longevity of the 798 ; and third and final Part in 1799. About 1 796 he first became acquainted with that truly benevolent character, the late Dr. John Coakley Lett. sem. Under his hospitable roof at Grove Hill, a great par. tion of his Indian Antiquities was written and some of his hap pvours manr PA's, Air. M. composed his descriptive poem est hours were pas se d . As a return orf time accumulated of" Grove ' which h e published In 17 99 t accompanied 'a with an " Ode to Mithra." in 17911 he published " Sanscrit bi Fragments , or Extracts f r om the several Books or th e Brahmins on s uects im p —lns p oem ent " , '" l " The Crisis," the only political one wa he ever published, ortant to the British Isles," five. s cormiosed at the period of the me naced invasion in Imo, and was inscribed to that distin guish corps the Light Horse Volunteers. In the same year Mr. Maurice was presented by that Mecenas of literature, Spencer, to the vicarage of Wormleighton, in Warwickshire; and the year following received the appointment of Assistant Librarian to the British Museum. In MO appeared a new edition of his " Poems, Epistolary, Lyric, and Elegiacal, in three Parts." In the same year, in consequence of a demand for particular portions of his " Indian Antiquities," increased by the warm commendation of the work by Bishop Tomline, he published those portions in a separate form, under the title of " A Dissertation on the Oriental Trinities," Ovo. About the s T it o u n le ili t n i e m w e a p i t e t d , , t h b e y p t en h e s i p o e n rs e (we v er i le e e n v t e e r e3sot l 01. a l i y s e h a o r p ) that hail been before bestowed upon the poet Cowper. In 1002 lie published the first volume of hie " Modern History of' Ilin dostan," arid in 1004 the second volume. In 1004, on the death of the Rev. Samuel Ayscough, he was presented by the Lord Chancellor to the vicane(e of Cudham, in Kent. In 1805 Mr. Mauriuce printed , a " Vindication of his Indian History, from the whirepresealtatlorta of the Edinburgh Revieweri."... • , . . fig he published " The Fall of the gogui, a Tragedy;" end in 1807, " Richmond Hill, a descriptive and historical Poem ; illustratiie of the principal objects viewed from that beautiful Eminence." In 1810 appeared " A Supplement to the History of India," 4to. In 1812 he published " Brahmini cal Fraud Detected, in a series of Letters to the Episcopal Bench," &c. In 1816 he published "Observations connected with Astronomy and Ancient History, sacred and profane, on the Ruins of Babylon, as recently visited and described by Chiridius James Rich, Esq." 4to; and in 1818, "Observations on the Remains of Ancient Egyptian Grandeur and Supersti sion, as connected with those of Assyria : forming the Apyendix to Observations on the Ruins of Babylon, with illustrative En. gravings. " 4to. In 1821 he reprinted his " History of gncient " a fterlndia,fter it had been many years out ofprint, with all the ori ginal plates, the Avatars, Zodiacs, &c. Many corrections and improvements distinguish this new edition. This republication gave unfeigned pleasure to the worthy author, as being so appo. priate, in his opinion, to that period, when Anarchy and In. fidelity were again endeavouring to rear their blood-stained standards in this country. One of the last literary occupations of Mr. Maurice, was the writing of his own "Memoirs; com prehending the History of the Progess of Indian Literature, and Anecdotes of Literary Characters, in Britian, during a period of 30 years." Part I. was printed in 1819, and a second edition in 1821. The second part of the " Memoirs" followed in 1820; including, a Tour in 1775 to Derbyshire, Westmor land, and Cumberland ; and the third part was published in 1822. This brings down Mr. Maurice's History to about the year 1796 ; but the fourth, or what was to be the final part, we regret to say, was never published. This is a most amusing piece of autobiography. The author does not conceal his own indiscretions, but the pleasant way he narrates them, and the evident goodness of his heart, induce the reader to pity and to forgive. But what renders the work truly delightful, are the numerous interesting anecdotes of the eminent contemporaries with whose acquaintance and friendship Mr. Maurice was ho noured. The death of this learned and esteemed man may be considered as a most desirable release from helplessness and hopeless misery. He was a man of great genius, lively, instruc tive, and good-humoured. His talents, attainments, and vir tues, amply expiated his singularities and his infirmities. He was buried on the 6th of April, in the churchyard of Wood. ford ( where the remains of his beloved wife had been many years before deposited) ; attended to the grave by his only nephew. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.-HERTFORD, JULY 30. ROBBERY AT EARL COWPER'S James Harris James Davis, and James Green, were ar raigned upon an indictment for a burglary in the dwelling-house of John Haines, steward of Earl Cowper, at Hertingfordbury, and stealing bank-notes and other valuables to a large amount, the property of his Lordship. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty; but in consequence of the expected length of time which the case was likely to take up, the trial was postponed until to-morrow morning, at 8 o'clock. The Co tr nT then proceeded to the following case of burglary, which has excited considerable interest in the county : William Marshall the elder, William Marshall the younger, and John Cartwright, were indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Charles Gordon, Esq., at Berkharnstead, in the night of the 17th of March last, and stealing therein various articles of gold and silver plate, and bank-notes and gold coin to a considerable amount. Serjeant PADDY and Mr. Bncmitsce conducted the 'prose cution. The prisoners were not defended by Counsel. It was stated that the two Marshalls were relations, but what degree of relationship they bore to each other was not mentioned. One was described in the calendar as of the age of 37, and the other 39 years. Both were men of decent appearance. In the calendar the younger man was described as a'waiter of Vine street, IVestminster, and the other as a gentleman's servant, of Bloomsbury. The latter had been servant in the family of Mr. Gordon, the prosecutor of the present indictment. The other prisoner, aged 19, was described in the calendar as a carpenter of Lambeth. In support of the indictment, it was proposed to call John Ingram, an accomplice. The Learned erjeant gave to the Jury an outline of the case. In the evening o f the 17th of March, wh en t h e prose cutor and his family retired to rest the house was fastened. At an early hour of the following morning when the gardener came to his work on the premises, lie discovered that the house had been entered at the pantry window and robbed. He im mediately aroused the indoor servant, when It was dis covered that various articles of plate were stolen from the butler's pantry, and that the prosecutor's library had been entered and his desk, containing thirty-two guin eas, _ nine half-guineas, four seven-shilling pieces , and fourteen _ five -pound Bank of England notes was missing. Upon the law nua_ valuable con tentsbut- ler's box fi ad also been broken open. and a pair of his gone and the papers scattered on the ground. The small clothes were missing, but they were afterwards found upon a fence near the house. Suspicion falling upon the prisoners they were apprehended on suspicion of this and other robberies. The accomplice, Ingram, was now to be admitted as an ap prover; but the Learned Serjeant warned the Jury that they ought to receive his evidence with great caution ; for although a competent witness in point of law, yet as he was deeply inte rested himself in avoiding the consequences of his own crimes, it behoved them to watch his evidence with jealousy, and not give him full credence, unless he was corroborated by other circumstances, which would be proved in evidence, by un suspected testimony. Ingram would state that the prisoners and himself had planned the robbery in London, at the sugges tion of Marshall, the elder, who having been a servant of the prosecutor, was well acquainted with his late master's premises, and had basely used that knowledge to effect the hellions crime with which he now stood charged. Having planned the rob bery, they met together at Watford on the 17th day of March, and thence proceeded to the prosecutor's house at Berk hamstead, and after the family had retired to rest, they pro ceeded to effect the robbery under the direction of Marshall the elder. An entrance was ofFected at the pantry window, and after plundering the house of the property mentioned in the indictment, they returned to London by the St. Alban's coach. In their way they shared the gold coin which had been stolen ; the rest of the property they disposed of to a Jew, named Bar nett, in Catherine Wheel.alley, Bi s h opsgat e-street, and di vided the proceeds amongst them. These were the leading cir cumstances of the accomplice's story, and if he should be con firmed, as no doubt be would in many of die facts he would state, the duty of the Jury would be to pronounce their ver dict according to the evidence. James Grant, the prosecutor's butler, John East, the gar dener, and Charles Gordon, Esq. the prosecutor, having evi dence as to the property which had been stolen. John Ingram, the accomplice, was examined. Ile was a young man of decent appearance, and from the style of his language was by no means illiterate. He seemed quick and intelligent. In the commencement of his evidence he was ma nifestly trying to hang back, and appeared disinclined to say any thing affecting the prisoners. He was warned by the Learn ed Judge, that lie must speak the truth, and tell the whole story; for if, as hi s L or d s hip told hi m , if there was any shuffling or attempt at evasion, lie would not receive that protection which the law held out to him as an approver. He should still be tried for this offence, and therefore he gave his testimony with a rope about his neck. The witness said he wished to tell the truth to the best of his recollection. He said he remembered going with the three prisoners to a house at Berkhamstead, but lie had not the least recollection of the day, nor even of the nionth. He had met them several times before at the Cock pub lick house, in a street at the back of the Haymarket, the name of which he did not recollect- He accompanied the prisoner Cartwright from London. They started together from Oxford. road, in the morning by the Watford coach. They met the two Marshals at W at f or d, w h ere t h ey stopped by appointment.— They went to a public-house at Watford, and had some re freshment. As the evening approached they went to another public-house, and drank a good deal of gin and beer. Witness as well as tile others were almost intoxicated. Did not know how long they remained at the last public-house ; did not know the ' sign of it ; lie was almost intoxicated. Having quitted the house ' they went down a lane, and came to a hovel n ear a G ent l eman ' s house. They s a t down a considerable time under the hoveband from thence they proceeded to the house, which they entered. They got over the garden wall first. There was some kind of glass frame and a net in the garden ; and he thought they tossed it into the pond, but was not sure. He thought lie might venture to say that they tossed them into the pond. So many things had occurred since that he could not recollect. lie thought he tossed them himself into the pond ; indeed he could venture to say that he did; he could not carry the circumstance exactly in his memory. They proceeded then to the house. The prisoner, William Marshall the elder, chewed hi m t h e pantry window, and all rou n d t h e h ouse . They were all in a state of Intoxication at this time. The reluctance of the witness to say any thing against his accomplices again became manifest, and die Judge warned him of the consequences if he did not speak the whole truth. Ile then burst into tears, and addressing the Judge, said, " In the unfortunate situation in which I am placed, I find it difficult to bring myself to say any thing against my fellow men at the bar; it goes against my heart; it is my duty to do so, and I mean to speak the truth. I hope your Lordship will have mercy upon them. I am truly sorry for the men, for they are not persons of the worst character." The JUDGE told him he, as a witness, could make no bar gain with a Court of Justice ; he must tell the truth, or forfeit his own claim to mercy. The witness then proceeded with morqreedom to state, that they went together on the night in question, by previous con. cert, to tot the house of the Nosecu . tor, in whose service Mg. shall the elder told the others he had lived. They had provided themselves with all the necessary implements of house-break ing ; a stock and centre-bit, pick-lock keys, a dark lantern, tits. The prisoner Cartwright and himself first entered the house; they went in at the pantry window, which Cartwright pulled down. The latter handed out to the Marshalls the articles of plate found in the pantry. They were small articles, such as silver milk jugs, and spoons, and forks. Cartwright then opened the back front door, and let in Marshall, who had lived in the prosecutor's service. The other Marshall remained outside in the lane. The prisoner, Marshall the elder, then pointed out the door of his old master's library, where he kept his cash. A. pick-lock was applied to the door. Marshall the elder said-- " I'll shew you where the old man keeps his money." Upon entering the room they found a desk, which was handed out by the latter prisoner to the other Marshall. A pair of small- . clothes was also handed out, which *ere afterwards hung upon a hedge adjoining a wall. Marshall the elder then said he knew a secret cupboard where the family plate was gene rally kept. The pnsoner Cartwright was proceeding up the stairs, when seeing a figure standing at the top of the stairs, he said he thought he saw somebody, and he did not go up. The figure was only an image holding out a lamp in its hand. was then agreed that before they proceeded farther they should search the desk, and see what it contained. They returned to the lawn, broke open the desk, and found it to contain fourteen 61; notes, 451. in gold, and five gold buckles. This property they secured, but left the papers and the desk upon the lawn. They returned to the house, and after a short stay they quitted and proceeded in the direction towards London, by Heinelhemstead , and on arrival at St. Alban's, they got upon a coach which had just come up at the moment. They divided the gold coin berm, they got to Ilemelhempstead. The prisoner Cartwright had tke, bank notes. When they arrived in London they got off the coup in John-street, Clerkenwell, and then proceeded to a court, called Catherine-wheel-alley, in Ilishopsgate-street, 111 a• house of a man named Barnett. There they disposed of the ; bank notes anti the plate. Witness had seen Barnett two or, three times before, and received money of him in exchange: for stolen goods. Barnett weighed the silver, and he gave theta 4s. fid. an ounce for it. Witness received as his share of the plunder about 401. altogether ; they then parted for their al spective homes. Till the latter end of July, last year, Wit; ness lived with Mr. Bainbridge, a Gentleman residing at 401' Harley-street. Before then he had lived as servant with a Lady in Devonshire-street, to whom he attributed all his mil*, fortunes. He lived with her till the death of her husband, and, then she turned him adrift without money, and refused toile* him a good character. Thus bereft of the means of honest lir.- lihood, he was driven to the courses which he had since put' sued. He had been once in the House of Correction for Wog found in the area of a Gentleman's house, in Bedford -place. This was since he had left Mr. Bainbridge's ; lie had also been in trouble for stealing a man's hat at Charing-cross, being do' termined not to want money ; he would have got his money Di honest industry if he had not lost his character. witness Cresg- i e t x d am k i n n n e w d n b h y int the ak p o ri n s t on te e n r y b ea la rs re , h t a h ll e p th ri e sn e n ld er er.-- hav r o . ng stood godfather for him on one occasion, when it was necesssrf for him to have a certificate of baptism, with a view to 5010 1 property which he expected to inherit, but he had not been 113 the habit of seeing the prisoner until the last 4 months; he be' lieved that the prisoner had never been concerned in any other robbery but this; never said that he was a thief from his in fancy, but he did once say that his father, and he and sang farmers, had killed a deer which had got upon his father 'S farm. His father had lived near Salisbury. Witness after that time went to Bath, where he lived seven years with a gar' named Pierpoint. He admitted his having said to several pri soners in the gaol that if lie only got clear out of the present business, he knew where to get 1001. as his share of some property which was plundered or hid. In saying this he si* luded to the robbery which had been committed at the house of Mr. Pym, at Rod well, in April last; but the property having been since discovered, his expectations in this respect were disappointed. The witness negatived a g r e at number o f questions put to him by the prisoner, tending to show that he had planned various other robberies, and had endeavoured to' seduce Gentlemen's servants to rob their masters. The case for the prosecution being closed, the prisoners vitro severally called upon for their defence. The elder Marshall, who had been servant to the prosecutori t sq l e e ur n ev i si e te d ieo. t n h , at he had, in point of fact, any share in the robbery; but he admitted that Ingram h a d m e t hi m a t a h ouse of call for servants out of place, and asked him s e ver al questions respect' ing the family and th e h ouse o f t h e p rosecutor , conce i v ing that his object in so doi ng was to get emp l oye d i n t h e prose cutor a' accompaniedrankwithihdimmaitnatoevle-Ireraltfpourdhslilici-rhenounsetahaet wa day in He dand ford, but in consequence of their having some dispute they parted in the evening, and he never had any participation what• ever in the robbery with which he was charged. He called a person named Clark, a shopkeeper in Market. street, Haymarket, who gave the prisoner an excellent charat• ter for many years. The younger Marshal said nothing but that he had been servant for a great many years in several respectable families ! and he put it to the Jury whether it w a s p ro b a bl e t h at he shou ld have participated in the robbery in question. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with strict kn• partiality, and left it to them to consider the guilt or innocence of the prisoners.
