PRIVY COUNCIL. t The long•deprnding complaint of Mr. Sergeant Rot: on, late President (or Chief Judge) of Demerara, against General MURRAY, late Lieutenant-Governor of that Colony, was decided on Wednesday last, by a Report of the Committee to whom the complaint had been referred. Their Lordships stated their opinion to be— That, under all the circumstances of the case, Lieutenant- Governor Murray was not justified by any sufficient necessity in suspending Mr. Sergeant Rough front his office of President ; and that the conduct of the Lieutenant-Governor was like wise reprehensible in not having taken any measures fo r preventing a procession, of which previous public notice had been given, which procession wax evidently designed as a n insult to the President (whom he had suspended) and threatened, not only his personal safety, but the public peace. Their Lordships stated, that in the transactions which pre ceded the suspension, and 'which were accompanied by much irritation between the parties, they saw cause to regret the indiscreet conduct pursued by Mr. Sergeant Rough upon some occasions, and also the remissness of Lieutenant-Governor Murray, in not sufficiently maintaining the respect due from the inhabitants of the colony, to the judicial character and authority of Mr. Sergeant Rough and the Court over which be presided, and in not endeavouring to protect them from a series of libellous calumnies to which they were exposed. But their Lordships were induced to think, that the disputes which arose between the parties in question were owing, in .a considerable degree, to the undefined nature of their respec tive authorities as Governor and President, in a colony where those offices had been formerly united, and to the difficulties arising from the want of an established table or standard of fees in the Courts of Justice, concerning which there was a discordance of opinion and a clashing of authorities." The Report, we understand, received his Majesty's most gracious approval. COLLEGE OF DOUAY.—On Saturday morning, at ten .o'clock, the Lords of the Council had a meeting at the Council Office, Whitehall-place, at which the Earl of Ilarrowby pre sided. There were also present, the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Chief Justice of the Court of Common • Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, Lord Stowell, Lord Colchester, Sir John Nichol], Sir Henry Russell, and Mr. B e ckett. Th e ease which came before their Lordships was of great import ance, involving property of immense value, being a case of appeal respecting a College at Donal, in France, for educating Roman Catholic Priests, which belonged to English subjects before the Revolution. Mr. Fonblanque, Sir James 31ackin to.sh, and Mr. Carr, appeared in support of the appeal, and were opposed by Sir Christopher Robinson and Mr. Tyndall. Their Lordships were closely occupied with hearing the argu ments on the above case till four o'clock. On Saturday last a Meeting was held of Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with Ire land, acid interested in its welfare, to consider a plan proposed by Mr. Jou.i SMITH, the Chair man, for establi,hing Agricultural Schools in Connaught and Munster, with a view to intro duce into those provinces an improved system of ItusLandry. After some discussion of a scheme, the details of which were developed by Mr. - Strickland, and discussed by Lord Clarendon, M. J. Smith, Mr. Spring Rice, and others, two Schools on the above principles were agreed upon. The speech of a Mr. M'Phail, a Scotch man, will hardly create the same amusement in th l e report as by its delivery. We, however, sub join it. Lords Glengall, Clonbrock, Messrs. • Rice, M. P., J. Daly, M. P., D. Browne, M. P., and Colonel Trench, M. P., besides other persons of respectability, attended. Mr. M'Pit.t It. ad dressed the Meeting as follows :-- " Your plan is a hoombug, its doonright noonsense, why doont the greet Irish lund-propreetors take the business oop ? What good can your little bits and scraps of soseeytees do ? To be sure you may . sind some mooney to Ireland, and heaven 'loose they wont it; but that mooney won't relieve the poor, I )UX the rich, for the mooment a poor mun gets a halfpenny, the agent or the prooctor snups it not of his hunds, and sunds it over here to the lundlurds, who are loonging about when they •ot to stay at boom, and to employ some E ng li s h or S cootc h farmers, that would teach all their tenantry to till their lund Prooperly. The middlemen are the ruin of Ireland. The Irish iontlemen talk of English beneevolenec : so they may, for tliy • !7e on it:, they, themselves, h a v e noo b eneevo l ence i n t h eir nur chaeray in their hurts, or they would try to improve e il coo r Ana, of the peesantry, and not skin them alive with .14, :n iPuctors and their agents, their tithes and their rack 21tria.) JcNt B.—The road over the tnoun ,ltal of Bormio, one of the boldest undertakings 4 f our times, is now completed. The highest 'Point which it reaches is 8000 feet above the level of the sea, and it consequently surpasses in elevation all the roads of earlier times which lutVe been so long admired. Art has happily triumphed over all the obstacles which the na ture of the country opposed to the work, and a communication has been formed by this road be tween two neighbouring people, both subjects of the Austrian Government. M. Sager, inn keeper., of Laudeck, passed yesterday for the lirst time along this road, in a broad-wheeled Itaggoa to fetchitalian fruits from 13ormeo and Soudrio.

On their arriving at the hotel of the Duke of Northumberland, the Princes of the Royal Family were saluted with the airs of Five Henri IV., and of Charmanle Gabrielle. The garden was illu minated with coloured lamps, and the Arms of England sur rounded a brilliant illuminated castle, near which was a white flag. Elegance and grace enhanced this magnificence. The Duchess of Northumberland and all the Ladies of her family were adorned with four de lys. There were fire-works at eleven, in the centre of which were the arms of France and England.

Lord Bunt:in:um is now in London, to witness .the first appearance of VELUTI, at the King's Theatre, which, is expiet6d, will take place in a few days. EXECUTION of PROBERT & OTHERS This morning, the dense Mass of persons that congregated in the Old Bailey could not have been exceeded in point of numbers, assembled on a former occasion, to witness the sad and awful sentence of death passed into execution. At five o'clock, every position or point adjacent to that part of the prison where the fatal platform was erected,. was occupied by persons whose appearance denoted respectability, and many of whom, by a well applied douceur, got within • the enclosure, and consequently took up positions closely under the scaffold to catch a more ready view of the wretched Probert. The windows of the houses opposite were crowded, having been let to persons who paid from 2s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. for a view of the awful ceremony, nod before 7 o'clock the Old Bailey, nearly as far as the Sessions House, was lite rally one compact body of persons, and in the opposite direction to St. Sepulchre's Church the same dense body extended itself. A scaffold and poles built for the erection of a new building in the Old Bailey was covered in a fearfully thick manner by persons who paid Is. each for the occupation of this dangerous situation. It is a strange coincidence, that a Mr. Ware, who is building the house, is the person who prosecuted the unfor tunate man Sergeant to conviction. Having thua . given a sketch of the crowd, we must observe that from the violent pressure it was continually in violent motion, and at times swept to and fro like the motion of the waters of the sea. • Within the prison, where our Reporter was stationed, -the cries of women and others suffering from the violence of the pressure, were distinctly heard, and from the general agitation, it was feared some dreadful accidents would have occurred. The City Mar shals and Constables gave such directions as 'caused the removal of some barriers, and the - populace were thus enabled to get away, and many persons appeared glad in being enabled to ef fect their escape. At a few minutes before eight O'clock; the Sheriffs, Mr. Al derman Brown, and Mr. Alder Man Key, arriVed at the Ses sions House, accompanied by sonic young gentlemen, two of evlumi were said to be Noblemen. One of them was a son of the Marquis of Winchester, and being attended by the Under Sheriff, and Officers bearing wands, proceeded through the prison to the PresS Room. Here were ranged on one side the Reporters for the Press, who obtained ad mittance through the gentlemanly courtesy of Mr. IVontner, the Keeper of Newgate, and on the other ride the Sheriffs, Chaplain, '&c. took their station. Wm. Sargeant, alias Baker, for horse-stealing, was then introduced by Bishop, a principal turnkey; Mr. Alderman Brown advanced towards hint, and expressed the most Christian wishes for his eternal welfare, and besought the wretched man to place his trust in Heaven. Ser geant was shabbily dressed; and was a man of stout stature ; his demeanour was cool ; he expressed . his thanks,. and requested the Sheriff to look to sonic members of his family. Ile was pinioned, and set down. From the appearance of the lower part - of the man's face and manner, one 'would be led to suppose him an idiot, but the wily look of his" eyes, shaded by thick brows, shewed his character to be once of a more savage description. James Harper, a respectable. looking man, dressed in black, was then brought in. lie was received in like manner by the Sheriff', and uttered not a word, but sat down calmly by his unfortunate companion, and entered into a whispering conversation. Ile appeared very composed and decent, and but slightly joined in prayer. His offence was also horse-stealing. John Smith, for burglary, was then brought in and pinioned. This poor fellow's 'appearance bespoke the most squalid poverty ; but his demeanour was marked by the most fervent contrition : no man . could have been more peni tent, and, at the same moment, so calm and - resigned : there was an intelligence beaming on his face, which interested every person. He being pinioned, sat down, with a mind evidently absorbed in contemplating eternity. His offence was burglary. The preliminaries being adjusted relative to these three cid prits, the eyes of all present were t,:med to die door, and the Rev. Mr. Cotton and a turnkey appeared with Probert. The wretched man, on entering upon the threshold; looked heavily forward, and, on beholding the silent ceremony of preparation, and his companions pinioned, in earnest prayer, his firm ness forsook him, and for an instant- he hesitated, his counte nance assuming the most ashy paleness. • He endeavoured to bow, but seemingly was so overwhelmed with dismay, that lie I lost all consciousness for a moment of his situation. The officer led him to the centre of the room, and Mr. Sheriff Brown, ad vancing, as be had done to the other prisoners, asked him how he felt. Pmbert replied in a faultering tont," Better; Sir, thank you." The Sheriff' exhorted him to place his trust in , Heaven. Ile answered, " Oh, I have placed my hope for mercy in God ; Oh, my God, have pity on me." Ile then walked in a hesitating manner to the officers, and while being pinioned, was attended by the Reverend Mr. Cotton, who pointed out to him, that even _ then, hr a contrite and fervent penitence, the mercy of God would -be extended through the Redeemer. Probert only answered —" Oh ! I know it all ;" t j and again uttering, "Oh, God ! have mercy on my soul," re sumed his devotions, and in a low melancholy tone appeared ejaculating entreaties to the Almighty. - The word being given, and the warrant of execution placed- in the hands of Mr. %Vont ner, Sergeant, Harper, -and Smith, stood up, and were placed in a line with the door. Probert looked as before on this last preparation with horror and dismay, and his lips quivered in dreadful agony ; his knees seemed to totter, and in deed, from his wretched manner, no man could, in a similar situation, pourtray feelings of more - acute agony. At this mo ment, Mr. Sheriff Brown took him aside, and in the most so lemn manner asked him if he find any disclosures to make re specting the murder of Mr. Weare, calling on him, as he would be in a few moments in the presence of the Almighty, to tell him the truth, whether he had actually been present at the tulle. der, or whether-he knew of it before he completion ? Pro bert answered, he had nothing to do with- it ; he did not know of it until all was over, and on the ques tion being repeated in other terms, he merely said, " None, Sir, none, . I assure you."—He was then placed in order with the others, and with a feeble step marched un steadily and slowly through the ,passages. On the funeral ' bell tolling, his composure, if such it could be called, left him, and he raised his clasped and trembling hands in deep dispair, his eyes appearing to sink without his having the power to open them. In the Debtors' lobby the procession halted, and Sergeant ascended the scaffold . with a composed air. Harper and Smith sat down, the former still preserving the same taciturn air, which throughout was ob servable in his conduct. Probert also sat down, but sunk back against the wall exhausted. Mr. Baker instantly read the Service for the Dead, which was attended to with great eagerness by Smith. The unfortunate Probert was -so overcome by dismay as not to appear conscious of the reading of the solmen rite, and continued his mental ejaculation, raising his clasped hands in a tremulous manner during the alternate pauses. The ropes being adjusted on the necks of . Smith and Harper, the execu tioner advanced for the other criminal, sod on the officer entering the lobby, Probert was assisted up ; his eyes filled with tears, and the muscles of his face formed and con . tracted in a feverish and quivering manner, :hewing the agony of his mind. Ile instantly closed his eyes and seemed unable to move from the spot, and was led to the steps leading to the fatal drop. The officers here assi s t e d, an d i n d ee d almost carried hire up, and the air. blowing fresh on his face appeared to revive him. He turned his face to the wall, and stood steadily (evidently making an effbrt at composure) and submitted him self to the hands of the executioner. .At 2.5 minutes past eight o'clock all was complete,—the drop fell, and the plunge of the • wretched Probert was tremendons_tha jerk of the rope actually brought his ''oet up to the chains,- .and he swung a distance of nearly seven ket. The , shock was so vio lent that it was • thcught the rope would break ; the entire frame of the scaffold shook in a :terrific manner. After his body became more composed, and he ceased to exist almost instantaneously. The others died. almost immediately. Probert was very wretchedly dressed in the same old black coat and drab breeches he wore on being tried, with dirty white stockings. • PROBERT'S DEMEANOUR LAST NIGHT. On Sunday afternoon an answer was received to Probert's letter, sent to the Earl of Uxbridge, informing. him" that the Noble Lord could not by any means interfere, and that the law most assuredly would take its course. Probert, who had until this entertained hopes of a respite, now saw h ow futile those were, and joined with Sergeant and Harper in bitterly execrating what they • conceived the hardship of their cases. In the evening. Probert had a last and most affecting interview with his wife ; h e gave h er some letter s , an d a commun i cat i o n which he considered of some importance. Ile slept well during the night and in reply to a que s ti on on r eligious . subject s , sa id to Mr. Baker, " Oh, my dear Sir, if you were to speak for five hours, you could not tell me more t h an that, through p rayers, hope for mercy." H e eat very h ear tily at breakfast, inltinut?tetno became more composed. FATAL. EFFV.CTS OF 130XING. - 011 Saturday last an inquest was held at the Itam'S Head Inn, Dialey, before J. 1101. 1 .1w*, Esq. on the body of Nathaniel Johnson, who previous Friday morning from some injurieaspwptelaicrisi received in a p ug ili st i c con t es t with Willi am J ohnson, h a d t eie ll dhai i o stn t he ley. The fight was after the Lancashire fashion, an d the prisoner gave the de cease d a violent kick, whic'• it proved fatal to him on the day named. Mr. Wright, a sae _ geon of Pixley, stated, that he had opened the body, and that the kick inflicted was, in his opinion, the cause of the man's death. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Man :,,cjahesugtehrtercias' against a. William Joh nso n, and he was committed to Aft[tcANTILE SHIPPING.

The Company of COPPERSMITHS, BRAZ I ERS, and . ARSIOURERS, passed. through the Strand this day, and exhibited some admirable specimens of their art. Five men in copper and brass armour • on horseback, and many standards, with suitable mottos, appeared - in the procession. They were accompanied by bands of musicians, and were followed by a numerous crowd; who were much gratified by this interesting display of professional ingenuity.and skill. . The Gazette of Saturday night contain% an order in Council, dated June 14, relative to a new gold and sillier coinage. From this order it appears there will hi two new gold coins of higher value added to the currency—viz., the five-pound piece, and the double sovereign, or forty-shilling piece : all the other coins to remain at the same denomination ' and value as those at present in circulation CHICHESTER, JUNE 111.—The Bishop's Primary Visita tion was held on Tuesday, in the Cathedral. Nearly the whole of the Clergy of the Diocese were present. Mr. Turner preached on the occasion ; after which an eloquent charge was delivered by his Lordship.—His Grace the Duke of Norfolk arrived at Arundel Castle, on Tuesday, from London.—On Thursday, Lord Fitz Allen and Lord Edward, sons of the Earl of Surrey, ' arrived at Arundel Castle.—On Tuesday, James Hopkins, Esq., Mayor of Arundel, gave his third quarterly dinner, to the Corporation and Officers of the Borough.—An active canvas is going on throughout the Rape of Bramber, in favour of Mr. Howard, who will offer himself as a Candidate for New Shore . ham, at the next General Election ; Mr. Sugden is also a can didate ; and Capt. Webster and Mr. .1. Smith, are expected to come forward ; Colonel Lloyd, one of the present Members, intends to retire. COWES, JUNE 111.—( Royal Yacht Club.)—Thursday was launched from Mr. Ratsey's yard a yacht called the Nautilus, of 103 tons admea.urement, of which Lord Grantham is the owner, and we really think a more beautiful specimen of ma. rine architecture was never before exhibited. The launch afForded ample delight to an immense assemblage of spectators ; amongst whom we noticed the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Grantham Sir George Thomas, Bart., the Messrs. Welds, and several other Members of the Royal Yacht .Club. The late fineness of the weather has brought groups. of families and visitors to Cowes, and several of the yachts are observed daily to be in motion. The sailing season may be said to be already commenced. The Regatta, this year, is to be much diversified, - as all the vessels which have won first prizes are to be permitted to enter the list ; besides which, .the yachts will sail for sweep stakes, and the poblic will have to view the interesting contest between the Don Giovanni, London boat, and Capt. Edmund Lyons' boat, - R.N. for 200 sovereigns a side. The parish church of Bishop's Stoke, near Winchester, was opened for Divine Service on Sunday xe'en night, having been entirely rebuilt. The exterior presents a neat and substantial building with gothic windows, surmounted by a tower bearing four pinnacles. The whole edifice is a spe cimen of sound judgment and correct taste, and reflects much credit on the builders, Messrs. Brown and Folder, of Canon. street, by whom the designs were also made. The building was erected by subscription from the inhabitants, to which the worthy Rector (Rev. T. Garnier) munificently contributed. SUDDEN DEATII.—A 12 o'clock this day, as an elderly gentleman named Baker, a Razor-maker and Cutler, of No. 1114 Bishopsgate-street, was .proceeding into the Court of King's Bench, on reaching the entrance at the top of the steps, he suddenly fell down on his face and instantly ex pired. At, the execution, this morning, there were many thefts committed. On the drop falling the crowd began to disperse, and the thieves commenced their depredations._ One person, a farmer, named Smith, of Sussex, lost his pocket book, c ontaining a considerable sum ; a n o ther n a m e d J o h nson lost his watch ; and several complained of the loss of handker chiefs. A number of thieves were secured and taken to Guild hall. BOW.STREET—(TXIIS DAY.)—A man named William Connor was fully committed on a charge of stealing a piece of pork from the shop of Mr. Careless, of Clare-street, Clare-market. Mr. Careless is at length compelled to prose cute, in consequence of the frequent losses he sustains. Not withstanding he has . fire en outside his shop to prevent rob bery, no less than five or six attempts were made on Saturday to steal. The above, however,. was the most d ar i ng one , an d consequently, for his own secu rity, he adopted the above course as a wanting to others. THE LONIDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extractsfrom the Mormag Pape, s, Jane 20, 1326. [NEW TIMES.] The Artisans in general have taken alarm at the idea of a supposed intention, on the part of the Legislature, to re-establish the Combination Laws. We do not apprehend that any serious intention of the kind exists ; but it would un doubtedly be desirable to revive the Common Law on the subject, which was repealed by the Act of last year. Masters and workmen should he left at perfect liberty to Make such agree ments as they may mutually think proper ; but if combinations take place, that liberty is more or less restrained ; and if the combinations are supported by force and outrage, it is an nihilated. We believe that the reflecting portion of both parties, masters as well as workmen, want nothing more than justice, and are aware that this may always be attained without force or artifice. Measures for raising or lower ing the wages of labour beyond the rate fixed by the relative demand and supply must ultimately prove fruitless, for the price paid for an article has no necessary or fixed relation to the labour bestowed on it, but is always determined by the quantity of the article in the market. Workmen, therefore, who wish to make the masters pay more than they can afford for the fabrication of an article, must ultimately injure themselves by putting an end to their trade. Perhaps when these plain and simple principles become familiar to the minds of workmen, they will of themselves put an end to those combinations, which are as much useless as illegal. ['ruE TIMES.] Something like a state of suspended ani mation appears -to have prevailed irl Ireland since the last Catholic meeting. The news papers, indeed, are sufficiently agitated, bat it scents to be by domestic jealousies and quarrels : from them we learn little of the public cause, or of the means in preparation for advancing it. Yet, thlt resolutions were passed by the Catholics for drawing forth engines of po litical warfare, there is the evidence of their late proceedings. We trust that the measures about to be adopted will prove themselves of the right sort. Silence or acqiiiescence under injustice, no friend of lihert y or ofihe constitution would recom mend to British subjects. No friend to law or so cia I order could see, Ns ithout the deepest alarm, a numerous body of our fellow-subjects, conscious of being harshly treated, yet neglecting to ar ray the constitutional means of discussion, co.ope. ration, remonstrance, and petition for justice ; because, althouelt it be not generally acknow ledged, the infliction of wrong and its main's.- fiance by power are nothing less than direct ap peals to force, which, if the sufferer meets not by open complaint or argument, he is probably strii ing to counteract in secret by more pernicious, thought not more efficacious methods. We shUuld, therefore, be more afriad of a torpid than of a ruffled surface, - in looking at the proceedings of Irish Catholics, excluded as they have been from the state. For despair of success by open and laudable exertions, there is not a shadow of co lour. They must have observed, if of late the Catholics had their minds about them, that what ever might be the decision of a legislative -assem bly, detached in a great measure from the body of the nation, that branch of the legislature which represented the people of England, fled which is, in truth, identified with them, did.aCenally admit their Catholic brethern to the inmost parts of the Constitution. The moving, flourish. ing, growing power of spirit and intelligence was on their side : there was against them only the withered trunk of ignorance, prejudice,' and tradition—the zit inertice of matter in decay.--L When we ventured to dissuade Mr. O'Connell, and the other gentlemen, his colleagues and asso ciates, against injudicious modes of •prosecuting their claim to liberty, it was less from afear . of the mischiefs which they might perpetrate, than of those which they would inevitably suffer. With their display of physical strength, by the results of a parochial census of the Catholic po pulation, it would, under, the circumstances, be unfair to quarrel, because that physical power was questioned, for the sake of an argument against them. Nor is there any reason so strong for deprecating the establishment of a new ,atscr ciation—a second rent—frequent meetings of body, permanent in substance though not name—with the other materials' and princi ples of an organized power like that against which the law of the present Session. WRS directed —as the tendency of all such Movement's to alienate the frieuds•of emancipation, or to create enemies where there were none before. It is not for the sake of controversy with the Catholic • leaders that we beg them to revise their proje cts ; nor is it worth while t o w i s h th a t, i n reaso ning, in repartee, or in party inamzuvriag, they should have a momentary triumph : such things are for childish ambition : our. wish is, that they should succeed in the main object of emancipation ; that is • the only thing worth aiming at; that is Our desire as well as theirs—it is our interest as much as theirs—it is a grand interest (tithe 'em pire. Let the 'Catholics feel that they may'•be-• come responsible for its security. There would be nothing more deplorable than an impression ou the mind of the Catholics that their cause was hopeless through any constitutional efforts. If they fancy it to . be hopeless, they will realize their satin dream. If they take for granted that emanci patios is desperate but by desperate means, they will too surely plunge into their own ruin. The English are a people to be . reasoned with, not provoked. There is every 'symptom that the manner in which the intelligence of this'natiois has gradually operated upon the Catholic ques tion has been to gain proselytes for it ; not against it; and such a process is infallible, if the C4l - will wait but a little. At the same flint, there are obvious reasons why the subject has been entertained with a cordiality less warm and decisive in the sixth year of an oia Parliament, than it would be in the first ses. sion of another. . The agricultural interest is the least enlightened in the nation ; and - many, we doubt not, of the County Members ; who
