IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, Auc. 21. Yesterday (the period of Prorogation having ex pired) the Parliament re-assembled. The Duke of PORTLAND, Lord GODERICH, and Lord BExLEY, in Peers' robes, were in attendance to act as his MA JESTY'S Commissioners; but as the presence of two Peers only are required, exclusively of the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord GODERICH said he would re tire, if Lord BEXLEY would act in his stead. His Lordship having acquiesced, Lord GODERICH imme diately left the House to attend a Council. The LORD CHANCELLOR, at a quarter past twelve, entered the House, and took his seat on a form between the Throne and the Woolsack, with the Duke of PORTLAND on his right, and Lord BEXLEY on his left hand. His Lordship then desired Mr. QUARME, the Yeoman Usher of the Black Rod, to summon the attendance of the Commons to hear his MAJESTY'S Commission read. Mr. RICKMAN, the second Clerk of the Table of the Commons, to gether with several of their Clerks and Officers, then appeared at the bar. B. CURRY, Esq. the Assistant-Clerk of the Par liament, then read the Commission, which, it was remarked, named Lord HARROWBY as " President of our Council ;" the Duke of PORTLAND'S title only was mentioned ; but the Commission was dated the 17th inst. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said—My Lords and Gentlemen of the House of Commons,—By virtue of his Majesty's Commission, under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed and now read, we do, in his Majesty's 'lame, and in obedience to his Majesty's commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday, October 25 next, to be then here holden. And, my I ords and Gentlemen, this Par liament is hereby accordingly prorogued to Thurs day, Oct. 25. The LORD CHANCELLOR then bowed to the other Lords Commissioners, and the representatives of the Commons, after which all retired. There were many strangers below the bar to witness the ceremony of the Prorogation. The Throne, &c. was uncovered as if his Majesty were present. 1 --- ' ' sci‘s' 1$ 18 0 Ili ,ll :... , 1 _. 546 , 1041 PUL! Bran ,150....... ;, ~ No. 10,903. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1827. LONDON MARKETS. (From the New London Price Current of yesterday.) SLIGAR.-The Sugar Market remained in a very lan guid and depressed state all the last week; the sales were estimated at 1,500 hhds. at prices about 3s. per cwt, lower than the late highest state of the Market currency ; brown Jamaicas sold at 625. ; Grenada 61s. The stock is now 1,100 casks more than in 1826. The deliveries last week were 1,200 casks less than the corresponding one of last year : in consequence of this change there was a complete stagnation in the Sugar Market this morning.—At the close of the day the sales were 800 casks, at the lowest prices of last week, making a reduction of 4s. per cwt. from the late highest point of the market. The landing of Sugar last year from this day averages 6000 casks weekly for nine weeks ; the compara tive crop will therefore be soon put to the proof. The Refined Market gave way considerably last week; low Lumps were offered freely about 82s. ; Molasses 235. The Refined Market was very brisk this afternoon, prices 6d. to Is. higher; extensive sales of small Lumps 845., and low 83s.—Molasses brisk at 255. The only purchase of Foreign Sugars last week was a parcel of low to mid. white Bahia 41s. 6d. a 435., W hi c h was fully Is. lower than the former currency. In East India Sugars no purchases were reported last week. TEA.-Twanicayg are this week in more demand at 11d. to 2d. advance on the cost of the sale.—Low Congous are offering at a little discount, without buyers. COFFEE.—The public sales brought forward last week were considerable. The price of every description of Coffee were well supported, except the rank Jamaica, which sold 3s. a ss. lower on account of the quan tity b roug h t for ward, and the determined manner in which it was forced off at whatever prices could be obtained.—The Havannah and Brazil were expected to go off at a reduction, in con• sequence of the decline in ord. Jamaica; but the former sold (nearly 1,000 bags) at fair prices, good and line ;ordi nary at 445. a 465. ; good ord. Brazil at 435. ; goad Su matra 435. ; the good to fine mid. Jamaica 84s. a 86s. There were five Public Sales of Coffee this forenoon, 626 casks and 1901 bags, the Foreign consisted of La Guayra and Sumatra. The British Plantations chiefly J.- - iaica and Dominica. From the languid demand a fall in the prices was generally anticipated. The whole went off heavily, the mid. coloury British Plantation supported the late prices ; all other qualities were heavy and rather lower, good ord. Jamaica in parcels 435. a 465. RUM, BRANDY AND HOLLANDS.—The sales of Ruin continue very considerable. The inferior descriptions of Leewards are rather lower; proofs and two under sn9 at 2s. 2d. ; good quality two over 2s. 3d. Nearly 400 puncheons Jamaica sold fine, and a favourite mark 4s. Bd.; several parcels at 4s. 2d. ; 28 to 32 over 3s. 10d. a 4s. —Brandies are heavy on account of the quantity now laud ing ; the best marks now on the Quay offering at 3s. 4d. —ln Geneva there is no alteration. WINES.-Ports, superior, a 351. a 481. and 50/. ; ditto second and third quality, 251. and 321. per pipe. Sherries, superior, very pale and brown, 401. a 50/. ; ditto, second quality, 28/. a 36/. per butt. Lisbon, finest 341. a 40/. per pipe. Bucellas, ditto, 231. a 25/. per hogshead. Cape, very fine 221. ; second quality, 15/. a 18/. per pipe. PROVISIONS.—There is no alteration in Beef or Pork. The arrivals of Bacon are unusually large at this season, the imports last week being 3,221 bales. Of Butters, 5,362 Foreign, and 28,833 firkins Irish. Hors.—The fine rains, and favourable weather, it is stated, are bringing the burr finely into Hop ; the conse quence is, a rise in the estimated duty ; it is stated 105,0001. or 108,0001. There has been little business done in old Hops ; but the speculation is rather against the duty, on account of the picking being two weeks later than usual, which, it is stated, is always an unfavourable cir cumstance for the crop. FRUIT. --Fruit is becoming very scarce, and scarcely any left in Importers! hands.—Currants sell at 91s. and 925. ; Red Smyrna tk3s. ; and the latter now hold for higher prices. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The demand for Tallow rather increased last week, and it is now confidently stated the stocks among the country dealers and the trade are very low; 3,534 casks were last week delivered for home con sumption ; the imports are so extensive that little improve ment can be stated in the currency, yet the Market is more firm. On Friday 319 casks saved from the wreck of the Royal George from St. Petersburgh sold averaging Ste. 9d. a 355. In Hemp or Flax there is little varia tion. The letters from St. Petersburg's are dated 4th instant. Exchange 10 11-32 d money over. Tallow no minally 98, many buyers at 96 rubles. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT. —MAIL STONE, Auc. 20. THE KING V. QUIIIAMPTON, COCK, SMITH, AND °RAYNER. This was a prosecution instituted by the Admi ralty against the defendants, for obstructing some of the officers of the Prc :-. , .ntive Service in the per formance of their duty. The facts were substantially proved by Lieutc ants Hellard and Johnson, by Mr. Need, a master's mate, Mr. Glasgow, a surgeon, and a great many seamen, all belonging to the Preventive Service, and all present at the transaction in question. It did not, however, appear that any of the Officers or seamen had been injured in the affray, or that any serious impediment had been effected, except the escape of one of the smugglers. Drayner was ac quitted ; and the other defendants were found guilty; and having entered into recognizances in the sum of 1001. each to appear when called for, and to keep the peace, were, after a suitable admonition from the Learned Judge discharged.

HIS Powder, it. is believed, is not equalled, nor ever can be surpassed in utility, for completely effecting a change of RED or GREY HAIR, to a beautiful AUBURN, or PERFECT BLACK. In 99 cases out of 100, by a SINGLE APPLICATION in the space of a few HOURS, it imparts to the Hair the colour as stated, which is so permanent, that neither washing, perspiration, nor any other cause can possibly remove. It will neither dye the skin, nor produce any other disagreeable effect. The directions for its use are simple; and it is now sub mitted to Public attention on this principle—that should it fail in completely effecting the purposes specified, when used as directed, the MONEY PAID for it shall be readily RETURNED, to any purchaser. Sold in bottles, whole sale and retail, at J. BROWN'S Perfumery Warehouse, 46, CHEAPSIDE, CORNER OF BREAD STREET, price 7s. 6d. and Iss. each, where SPECIMENS of its effects are exhibited in LOCKS OF HAIR ORIGINALLY WHITE, RED, AND BROWN, as appears from the one end, while the other, by the Powder, has attained, in some cases, an Auburn, and in others, a perfect Black. , .

Corpora tion of London, 63, Upper Thames-street, and at the Works, Surry Canal Bridge, Kent road, begs particularly at this season, to recommend this valuable and economical Article, which is patronised by the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Public Bodies, as the most effectual Covering for all exterior purposes of Painting on Wood, Iron, Cop per, Lead, Stucco, Roman Cement, and Tiling, to repre sent Slates, or any other substance, being equal to Stone when dry. It resists damp, water, or marine acid, pre venting iron from rusting, not blistering with the sun, nor can it be rubbed off.

ANECDOTE OF HIS LATE MAJESTY.-- During the time that his late Majesty GEORGE 111. was indisposed, at Windsor, it was frequently his custom to play a game of cards. On one occasion, while playing with Dr. KEATEs, one of his physicians, at picquet, the Doctor was about to lay down his hand, saying, as he wanted but twelve of being out, he had won the game ; for, added he, " I have a quatorze of tens." The KING bid him keep his cards. Tens were good for nothing just then ; for, said his MAJzsry, looking significantly at Dr. KRATES, and laying down four knaves, " Here are my four physicians." DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—.About twelve o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday last, a fine girl, about fifteen years of age, was standing near what is termed the teagle-door, in the fifth story of Messrs. M'Connell's factory, Ancoats, Manchester, when an infant child that she had in her arms making a sudden spring, the poor girl was so startled and alarmed that she fell backwards through the opening, and with the infant was killed upon the spot. The infant's head was literally dashed to pieces. —Leeds Mercury.' AN EFFECTUAL OPIATE.—A few days ago, a simple lad in the employment of a respectable firm near Bradford, had been threatened by the foreman with a flogging for neglect of duty; this threat preyed so much upon his mind as to deprive him of sleep for several nights. At length, to obtain some relief, he communicated his distress to tw o of his companions, expressing an earnest wish that the flogging was over, as he could neither sleep nor eat for the thoughts of it. His companions told him that the remedy for his complaint might easily be provided, and that if he would go into the stable, and submit to be tied up, they would apply the punishment, the expectation of which caused him so much a pprehension. This the lad immediately complied with, and next morning, upon re turning to his work, told them that he was very glad it was over, as he had slept very comfortabl y• Courier. —Bradford IMPORTED.

His constitution had been much shaken by the violent attack he had undergone in the winter, the consequence of a cold caught at the Duke of York's funeral. At dinner, Mr. Canning looked care worn and enfeebled ; but, as the Session was approaching to its close, his friends fondly looked forward to a period of comparative repose, which might gradually repair his shattered constitution. But how little repose is ev( rin re serve for the Prime Minister of the King of England ! Mr. Canning had always shown the writer particular kindness, in the recollection of which I now derive a melancholy con solation ; and on that evening, as his guests departed, I re mained accidentally last in the room, and when I wished him " Good night, and farewell," he asked "When I left town?" "I n three days." "Ah !" said he, "so soon ? Thengood bye; I shall not see you again." I shook hi m tenderly by the han d, and said, " God bless ycu, Sir ;" for as I looked in his pensive, though beaming, counteunnce, I marked the impression which disease bad left, and care had fixed, upon his " faded cheek, yet under brows of daunt less courage and considerate pride," the sad thought darted across my mind, that perhaps, indeed, I should not see him again. And now, in little more than one short month afterwards, with bitterness do I lament the fulfilment of that presage.—Liverpool THE CALENTURF.---ThiS disorder, which, at sea, causes persons to imagine themselves sur rounded by groves and green fi e ld s, and often induces them to leap into the sea, where they are drowned, appears to attack the wanderers of the desert also. For those Arabs, who, lost for days in the wilderness, or on the burning pathless sands, have been mocked with the shows of palaces and gardens of the most perfect beauty, which fled or vanished as they approached, must undoubtedly have been under the influence of some disorder analogous with the calenture.

John Henshaw, aged 37, was indicted for felo niously violating the person of Caroline Smith, on the morning of the Ist of August at Birmingham. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. N. CLARKE and the defence by Mr. HILL. The trial lasted from a quarter past nine in the morning, until a quarter past nine at night, at which hour the jury retired to consider of their verdict. The following are the material facts detailed in evidence. Caroline Smith, a delicate-looking girl for one in her station of life, and, without being handsome, of rather interesting appearance, stated that she was about 18 years of age, and lived with her mother at Hales Owen, in Shropshire, about 7i miles from Birmingham. Her mother, who is a widow, got her living as a carrier. Her brother kept a fruiterer's shop in Birmingham, and the witness came to see him on Sunday the 29th of July, with the intention of going to Deritend wake, which was held just outside the bridge. She slept at her brother's that night, and on the following evening her brother, her sister-in-law, and herself, went to the shows at De ritend wake. After supper, William Jones, Mary Mayesfield, and witness, came away from the cara van within about ten minutes past 12 o'clock.— They accompanied Mary Mayesfield to her home, which was in a court off Allison-street. Witness and William Jones were then going down Allison street on their way to her brother's house, which was in Moat-lane, when they observed some per son's coming towards them, whom she supposed to be a Mr. Glover and his daughter; upon which she asked William Jones to step into an entry to let them pass. They accordingly turned into the entry a step or two, while these persons, who turned out not to be Mr. Glover and his daughter, passed. As soon as they had come out of the entry, and were proceeding down Allison-street, they were ac costed by a watchman, who said to witness—. " Halloa! what are you about, my girl ?" Witness replied that she was going home to her brother's. The watchman said he was afraid she was a bad girl, and asked her if she had any friends in Birmingham. She told him she had.; and he directed her to men tion their names. Witness told Wm. Jones to stop there for her while she went and showed the watch man the houses of the persons she knew. She then went with the latter up Allison-street, and showed him Mr. Glover's house. She asked him if she might not now go home ? He said no, he must see a man whom he called Barnes. After they went a little further up Allison-street, witness asked him where this Mr. Barnes was ? The watchman re plied, that he was up another yard. The watchman opened the domr of a building at the end of the yard, and said, the man might be in there. He pushed witness in, and shut the door. As soon as they were inside the door, he said, " What money have you got, my girl ?" she replied, ss. 4d. He said, " Well, turn out the 55." Witness hesitated a little, upon which he said, " If you don't give me the money, I'll dash your brains out. She imme diately answered, " 0 Lord, have mercy, save my life, and I'll give you the money with a true and flee conscience." She gave him the 55., and was then about going away, when he pushed her back against the stairs. She told him she thought he was to allow her to go, upon giving him the money, but he said if she at tempted to stir, he would dash her brains out. He then put his right arm round her waist, and carried her up stairs. She hooted, (cried out), but he crammed his fist in her mouth, and repeated his former threat if she made a noise. He held his lantern in that hand which he had round her waist, and put his left hand to her mouth. He carried her in that way to an empty room, up one flight, and then laid his lantern down, and " dt.abted' the light. He next put his leg round her's, and threw her down on the boards. He then lay down, and consummated the offence, remaining in that situation about ten minutes, and putting his fist in her mouth to keep her from crying out. He afterwards conducted her down stairs to another watchman, and gave her up to his care, telling him she wanted to go to Deritend. The other watchman asked her what made her tremble so, was she starving? She replied, " Not starving, but something w0r5e."...... It was nearer to go to her brother's than to Derit en d, but she preferred going to Mr. Low's, becau se i t was so late, and her brother always went to bed at ten o'clock every night. The second watchman conducted her to the bridge, from which she went to Low's caravan, and knocked at the door. Harriet Jones let her in, and asked her what was the matter. Witness told her a watchman had ill-used her, a n d taken five shillings from her. She also told William Jones the same thing, and he advised her to acquaint her mother with it. She went to bed with Harriet. When she went home her mother asked what was the matter ? Witness told her a man had taken ss. from her, and had done something worse. Her mother did not then examine her under dress, but she did when they were before the Magistrate that day week. No surgeon examined her. The witness underwent a long cross-examination, which lgsted for several hours, in the course of • which the principal points elicited we re the follow ;"g:—When she showed the watchman Glover's house, she was quite close to the door, but she did not knock at it, she said, because she thought that while she was in the custody of a watchman, she must not do any thing but as he wished. She gave the same reason for not knocking at Mary Mayes field's door. She was alarmed lest he should take her to the watchhouse. When going home with William Jones, he did not perceive her gown soiled, although, as they went along, she rubbed out the dirt where the watchman's foot had been on her stomach. She walked a little way behind him when she did this. When she had so much to re member, she was liable to make some mistakes.— While she was abused, she neither bit, kicked, nor scratched the man who was ill-treating her, because he threatened her life if she resisted him. When the witness had been under cross-examina don for some time, the Judge and the Jury retired for a few minutes to take some refreshment, upon which she was accommodated with a seat; but no sooner was she placed in it, than she fell into a fit and fainted. With some attention she recovered, and was allowed to sit in the crier's box while she gave the remainder of her evidence. When the cross-examination was at an end, the Learned Judge directed her to look round, and try if she perceived the man who had ill-treated her. She did so for some moments, but still her eye did not appear tolight upon the prisoner. At length his Lordship direct ed her attention to the man at the bar, and she was obliged to come forward a little way from her seat, to make her see his face ; but the moment she did, she exclaimed, " That is the man who ill-treated me,— that is the man, and no other." William Jones was next examined, and stated that he lived with John Low, who kept a where rope-dancing was exhibited. He then gave an account of those circumstances connected with the case which had come under his knowledge, in which he varied in some few trifling instances from Caroline Smith's statement, but in its principal features his story corroborated hers. The prosecutrix's mother was also examined, and spoke of the appearance of her daughter on going home: she told her that a man had taken ss. from her, and used her worse than a man would use his wife. further appeared from the evidence of the night constable, that the prisoner had cried the hour o: 12 o'clock, but had not been heard to cry it again until three o'clock. The Learned Judge (HoLRorD) having minutely and carefully summed up the evidence, The Jury deliberated for some time in the jury box; but there being no likehood of their speedily agreeing upon their verdict, they retired to a room in the Judge's lodgings, where they remained locked up from 10 till 12 o'clock, when they returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was also indicted for feloniously stealing the ss. above-mentioned from the person of the prosecutrix; but this indictment will not be tried. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRIDGEWATER, AUG. 20. The Assizes for the county of Somerset com menced here this morning. Lord Chief Justice BEST sat on the Crown Side ; Mr. Justice Burt- ROUGH on the Civil. The calendar is unusually heavy. There are nearly 150 prisoners, and up wards of 50 civil causes. At eleven o'clock, after the usual ceremony of reading the proclamations, and swearing the Grand Jury, the Lord Chief Justice delivered a charge to the latter of considerable length. The calendar, he was sorry to inform them, was much larger than they had been accustomed to consider; and most sorry he was to observe, that the increase of crime —always the greatest of national calamities—had visited their county in so serious a degree. Only two cases struck him at the first glance as entitled to particular selection. One was that of Samuel Frankam, and the other that of William Amesbury, •two committals upon the, coroner's inquisition, for manslaughter. The first of these arose out of the death of a man who was killed in a fight. He had ,had lately occasion, at Salisbury, to make some ob servations upon the practice of fighting, and had seen (seen, certainly, without pain) comments made elsewhere upon what was supposed to have fallen from him on that occasion. God forbid that he should have ever said one word to encourage the horrid practice of prize-fighting l and in what he now meant to say, it was not his intention to retract or qualify any thing which he had uttered at any former period. He had never intended, when he spoke of the act of boxing, to underrate its existence as an evil ; but what he always wished to enforce was, that it was an evil of a much less degree than those which society had to endure in other countries where box ing was unknown. He knew from experience, that it warded off :nore deadly means of deciding human differences; and it undoubtedly kept alive that Bri tish spirit of personal fearlessnes among the people, which inspired the nation with glorious excitement; and while it ensured its own safety, from the exer cise of its own courage, tended also to maintain civi lized order throughout the world. He had seen, particularly in the north, the base habits which pre vailed where fair boxing was not practised; he had there observed those up-and-down atrocious fights, which sent to one single Assizes no less than 20 cases of manslaughter;many of them of so vile a complexion, as to carry upon their surface much of the appearance of murder, from the cruel, malignant, and cowardly, and revengeful spirit with which they were pursued. Where fair boxing was admitted, these base deeds were not perpetrated; and while he was, therefore, far from wishing to put down that ancient mode of national defence to which a true Englishman always, when provoked, resorted, yet he should be most anxious to prevent its gross abuse. He feared it had been shamefully abused in one of the cases which would come before them, and involved the conduct of by-standers in a criminal degree. It became ne cessary, then, to tell the Grand Jury, that those who stood around to witness brutal fights without inter ference, ought, whatever was their condition in life, to be 'prosecuted as par:_icipatei in the crime. From what he had seen of the depositions in the case to which he alluded, he could not say that the crime amounted to murder, for heavy blows passed on each side by mutual determination : neverthe less, he must repeat, that not only the principals in the fight, but all who stood around and encouraged them, were in the same degree criminal in the eyes of the law, and foro conscientice more so, because their passions were not excited by the application of the same personal injury. There was another case, in which a man stood charged with killing his wife; and as there was often but a very thin line of dis tinction between the crimes of murder and man slaughter, lie should direct a bill for the capital as well as for the minor offence to be laid before them, and they could then make whatever distinction the facts, as disclosed before them, should warrant. If it should appear that the man had committed the crime of murder, the laws of God and man required the penalty of his life. The law laid down as a rule that where a deadly blow was struck with apparent premeditation, and without provocation (of course he meant the provocation of blows, not words), the crime was murder. If otherwise, and that death ensued from an unpremeditated attack not given with deadly weapons, then the crime assumed a mitigated complexion. Although under any circum stances he sho u ld h ave f e l t i t hi s d u t y , i n t h e melan choly times in which they lived, to have called their most serious attention to some general topics, yet he was more strongly induced to do so in this county, to which he was attached by so many particular ties, all uniting to make him feel more keenly the unhappy growth and alarming increase of crime so manifest among them. On a late occasion, at Salisbury, he had ventured to state that there were two great predominat ing causes of this increase of crime : first, the low rate of wages, which did not afford sufficient sustenance to the wretched labourer; and secondly, the sup plying from the poor rates of the difference between the earnings of the workmen and the minimum of food for affording him subsistence. He had uni formly found the state of wages to be an exact baro meter to the state of crime. Where the poor labourer was oppressed with want, he burst th roug h the restraints of municipal la w , t o grat if y t h e over powering cravings of nature ; where he was ade quately repaid for his work, he was contented and obedient. While upon this subject, he could not help adverting to the evils which sprung from the a rrangement of game preserves i n ver y l a r ge quan tities. When he made this allusion, he begged to assurethem;vhich o that tho o i d igh had pre g v i e v n en ted h , i b m y , the bodily infirmities . sonally partakin g in the exercise of field-sports, he ever was, and ever should be, the frie n d o f t h e principle of the game-laws, being quite persuaded that it was productive of many of the great bless ings which distinguished this country over every other but one,"which was without these enactments. , - • a..." 4 , r , 7 " • ' He kis t w ...r p ey could not have tiiit it te4 „As , ! 14 ' • kb i class of resident country'lla n , are tled to a properly regulated - 'tbrelleiglitspcnia for amusement and relaxation Wei the perfoance of arduous public duties. At the same time he entirely concurred in the justness of the allusion which he understood was lately made by a Committee of the House of Commons, (for he had only seen parts of the report in the newspapers,) upon the evil tendency of thick and extensive game preserves, where the coegre gated possession of immense quantities of birds did hold out to the grasp of the starving peasant who passed near them, the means of supplying his family with that subsistence which the labour from which he was returning home ill provided, had failed to se cure for him. He was quite persuaded that the worst evils arose from the existence of such immense preserves ; no law could prevent their operatics while such inducement to infringe its provisions ex isted. These large stocks of game must organize large gangs of poachers; and while they were per mitted, they could not hope for an adequate prevention of crime. There were some circumstances locally pe culiar to this county, to which he wished to draw their particular attention. There were two places within their district which seemed particularly pro lific of crime—he meant Bath and Frome. He had, with the assistance of the person who kept Ilehester gaol (Mr. Hardy, we believe, formerly from New gate) paid much attention to the progress of crime in these two towns, and he found that in l& ,here were at the Lent Assizes, 29 criminal cases sent from Bath, and in the Lammas, 19. In 1825, in the Lent, 50; the Lammas, 17. In 1826, in the Lent 51 ; the Lammas,l3; while in 1827,in the Lent there were 74, and in the Lammas 41, with some 5 or 6 those crimi nals coming here for trial, and ten from the town of Frome only. Thus, from these two places came more than one half of their county calendar of prisoners. Tim magistrates must exert themselves to stop such a local increase of crime. The county magistrates must call upon the civic authorities of Bath (for many of whom he had the highest respect) to re strain, by some better arrangement of pr, ;entire police, this alarming and wide-spreading evil. In Frome, probably, the state of crime was owing to the distressed condition of trade in that neighbour hood. He hoped that an improvement in the latter would mitigate the cause of the present evil; but in Bath he feared it had arisen, not from the want of attention of the magistracy, bnt of a well-re ulated police, the defect of which oug ht t o b e supplied.— This could easily bo done, if they availed, them selves of the beneficial experience of the metropolis, where the introduction of the mounted patrol put a stop to those outrages on the roads of the vicinity which were formerly of such magnitude as to render a night journey to Hounslow as dangerous as to pe netrate the woods of Barbary. This was the proper system of preventive police, instead of incumbering towns with a set of aged watchmen, as they were miscalled, who, instead of being equal to the pro tection of others, had hardly strength enough left to protect themselves. There were also, he feared, in Bath, a number of night-houses, which afforded shelter to thieves and vagabonds, and which ought to be presented, for the purpose of abating the nui sance. His Lordship then introduced the subject of the amendment of the Criminal Law effected by Mr. Peel's Bills, and warmly eulogized the merit of that Minister for their enactment. He proceeded to describe that there were two classes of men whose crimes appeared in a very different light.. First, the class of old, notorious, and incorrigible offenders; and, secondly, those who were driven into crime by the pressure of the times. He was sure that the Grand Jury would feel that these two classes of offenders deserved to be very differently dealt with. Of 1.50 prisoners for trial at these assizes, 36 had been repeatedly tried and convicted on former occa sions. If these certifications were carefully preserved, he had no doubt they would tend to mitigate the evils of which he complained, and to diminish the neces sity of resorting to the extreme terrors of capital punishments. With respect to that unhappy class' of persons who were committed for a first offence, he was most desirous to impress upon Magistrates the necessity of not breaking down the victim by a severe term of imprisonment. Experience showed that the abode of gaols, instead of reforming, cor rupted the human heart—at all events, to dwell in them tended to impair, if not destroy, that self-re spect which was the surest monitor to virtuous action, and the best security for the good behaviour of the highest as well as the humblest man. H e who once lost the safeguard of self-respect, soon launched into a host of passions. He had not much confidence in mere places of refuge for the destitute-- he rather wished to see the impelled victim of sud den necessity hastily replaced in society, with some confidence in his moral amelioration —not broken by long imprisonment, not degraded by personal suffer ing,folrvoi tt n hh d ho s ui s c t w o m u a l uy d cbh r a e cr e ke e pi i o v rot e oa c h bh i e oa mn o d n i n c tg e h ian m t th o e r rec e coo i u n ur t lsd o re-enter it witho u t th e sensat i on of indelible shame, e such as flog g i ng an d coerc i ve restra i nts—so that a t h h n i s e d i t r h c i formeru r s c s l m e with the incentives to moral conduct still sufficient to sustain his course. He was happy to find, that wherever the House of Brunswick reigned, this great principle was cherished, as he bad lately seen in a proclamation issued by the illustrious Duke, fir the state which he ruled, deprecating all severity of punishment, and prohibiting that which was cal culated to degrade a noviciate in crime. He had already enumerated the low rate of wages, and the misapplication of the poor -rates, as leading causes of the increase of crime. There were some other causes which co-operated; the first of these was, he believed, the excessive number of public-houses which deformed this land. He had long thought, and every thing which had since passed under his view had confirmed his opinion, that those were mistaken who thought to remove the prevailing e v il o by encouraging a more extensive rivalry in tf..eesta blishment of public-houses. He was pers ua d e d that the main consequence would be, the encourage ment of every species of low dissipation, --of cheap gambling,—deleterious dram-drinking. New sti mulants, all of a dangerous character, wo u ld b e brought i thin bu t t h o e n re t a he reach ocfonthtreary shouldpoor. T , h a i s s in beingoh within his opinion, he felt it to be of th e utmost i mportance that the existing numb er o f pu bli c- h ouses should not be increased, as possible, b e diminished. ILlagistrates should se e , too, that the v i ctua ll er was a substantial person, likely to b e respons ib le for the maintenance of his character; but, above all other things, while on this examination, they should do all in their power to sup press or reduce that horrid monopoly of the brewers and distillers, which had, more than any other cause, contributed to extend the number of bad public houses. He had looked over the late returns which had passed under the review of a committee of the House of Commons, and he found that in this year there were 65,733 licenced victuallers; and of this number, only one-third, or 23,197 brewed their own beer; the rest were absolutely in the hands of great public brewers. Were he a resident where these monopolising houses had fastened, h .should try, as far as vacancies permitted, to establish on e or two free houses to palliate the evil of ex; elusive trade. The next point to which h o should wish to point the attention of the Grand Jury in procee ding to reform the public mor a l s , was, the necessity of increasing the attention of the lower classes to religious instruction from their several pastors. The time was, when they had been told that the growth of education would of itself turn people's minds to religion • , but the ex perience of the last twenty years, ,when education had had its full trial, refuted that expectation • for within that space of time the o l • in creased one-third, while crime had population augmentedh adf o ur fold. Me knew from f acts which he had himself taken grea t pains to investigate, that the • proportion of literate to illiterate cul • pri e ts was as 60 to 40.
