Her youngest and favourite son, who has always been a sad scape grace, has involved himself so deeply in the late riots as to have incurred the sentence of transporta tion for life.

This morning she is rather better, but obstinately refuses all consolation.

Sir GEORGE STEWAR 1' MACKENZIE, of Coul, Baronet, Praises. Upon the M ot i on of JAMES ALEXANDER STEWART MACLENZIE, of Seaforth; seconded by Corms Mac- R "zirs Esq., of Kilcoy, the Convener, it was Resolved, 1. That the Representation of the Counties aid Burghs of Scotland in the Commons House of Parlia ment is extremely defective; that it is ill-suited to the 'ants and wishes of the people : that it is particularly inadequate and objectionable, from the limited number of Electors, who are too little in union with the feelings of the Nation, and in general constitute but a small proportion of those who possess the property, the intelligence, and the wealth of that part of the United Kingdom. Such a system is repugnant to the principles of the Constitution, and to the altered circumstances of society. 2. That a Petition he presented to both Houses of Par liament, praying fur an extension of the Elective Franchise throughout Scotland, which shall secure in future a due r epresentation of the interests of the Nation at large. 3. That the Petition to the Lords be transmitted to the Lord High Chancellor, and that to the Commons to Sir James Wemysa Mackenzie, Bart., the Member of Parliament for this County, with a request that they will present and support the same. 4. That a Committee be appointed to carry these Reso lutions into effect, and in general to take charge of the whole matter. Upon the motion of Sir George Mackenzie, the follow ing Gentlemen were named the Committee .1. A. S. Mackenzie, of Seaforth. 111,1 s ere Macleod, younger, of Cadboll. Hugh Munro, of Teanwich.

Thomas Mackenzie, of Applecross. Three to be a quorum ; and the said J. A. S. Mackenzie, of Seaford), to be Convener. The Meeting directed that the Resolutions be published in the Inverness Papers, the Scotsman, and North British Advertiser ; and also in The Sun ; and that the Petitions, after being subscribed by the Members of the Meeting, be circulated to receive the subscriptions of the Freeholders, Heritors, Commissioners of Supply, and Justices of the Peace, who may have been unable to attend the Meeting. Thereafter npon the motion of Mr. STEWART MAC a:txzte, seconded by Mr. MACKENZIE, of Kilcoy, the thanks of the Meeting were unanimously voted to Sir George Stewart, Mackenzie, for his very able conduct in the Chair.

SPECIAL COMMISSION. CLOSE OF THE HANTS SPECIAL COMMISSION. WINCHESTER, THUR S DAY NIGHT. Conclusion of the trial of Mr. Boyes, a farmer, and Mr. Fussell, for heading a riotous mob, for ob taining the reduction of rent and tithes. The prisoners made no defence. Several witnesses were called, who had known Boyes for 30 years, and gave him an excellent character. Mr. Justice PARKE, with consent of the Attor ney-General, read his points of yesterday, wherein Fussell's character was given, He then went through the evidence with great minuteness, and the Jury found both prisoners Guilty. His Lordship then sentenced both the prisoners to seven years' transportation. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN—Gentlemen of the Jury— In consideration of your having been so long at this time, and the very arduous and distressing duties you have had to perforM, we have thought it right and our duty to represent to the proper authorities that you should not be called upon to serve again as jurymen for some time to come. We understand that your turn comes round once in three years. YoA will not, therefore, have to attend again for six years. The Foreman—My Lord, the Jury had signed a paper, which we intended to have presented to your Lordships, praying you to take into your most serious consideration the great expellee we have been at, and the time we have lost, with the hope that your Lordships would order some compensa tion to be made to us. Mr. Baron VAUGUAN—I am exceedingly sorry that we have it not in our power to grant your request. I mentioned to you that you would not be called upon to serve on a jury fora long time to come, as I thought that circumstance might, Der har, make you recollect a special commission. Foreman —My Lord, I am certain we shall all re collect a special commission. Thus has concluded the business of this special commission, which has lasted within one day of a fort night,during which 101 prisoners have been capitally convicted (six of whom have been left for execution), 36 have been sentenced to transportation, 63 to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour, and 67 have been acquitted. There were several who had no bills preferred against them. FRIDAY MORNING. Before I left this place I determined to call at the gaol and inquire how the criminal, who were yester day sentenced to death, bore their doom. I was informed that all but Cooper appeared as yet little affected by it. They seem to think that, in spite of the reiterated assurances of Mr. Baron Vaughan that no mercy would be extended to them, their fate is not yet finally sealed. Cooper, who is a man of stronger intellect than his fellows, has made up his mind to the worst. and th ere f ore f ee l s more alliicted than the rest by his sentence. It is expected, how ever, that when they find that no respite is sent down for them after the departure of the Judges, their de jection will be great in proportion to their present con :idence. Eldridge, who nearly fainted in the dock, has spirits w on d er f u ll y. Gil more, w h o regained his has been a soldier, and served in several campaigns, perhaps deems it unmanly to give expression to his feelings, arid looks upon death with a calmer eye than any of his partners in misery. Holdaway's fate is very lamentable. He is a widower with e i g ht children, and has hitherto been a respectable charactea. Of Annals—hitherto spelt Aunals in our paper—l have heard little, arid therefore have little to communicate. The fate of Henry Cooke excites no cornrrfiseration. F rom ever y t hi ng I h ave h ear d of him, justice has seldom met with a more appro priate sacrifice. He shed some tears shortly after hearing his doom, b u t h as s i nce re l a p se d i n t o a brutal insensibility to his fate, which I should not be sur prised to see exchanged for extreme terror on its nearer approach. He is known to be of a cruel dis position, and cruelty is generally nearly allied to cowardice. The convicts who are sentenced to transportation for life are bitterly distressed at their f ate . Many of them would not complain if they were sent to New South \Vales or Van Diemen's Land, but a notion prevails among them that t h e y may be sent to the Bermudas, and there em ployed . on the p u bli c works, instead of being em ployed m the agricultural labours to which so many of them have been accustomed. In the course of conversation last night, I heard of a singul ar me l anc h o l y case, ar i s i ng out of these convictions. As I have no means of proving the correctness of the facts which I now communicate, though I believe them to be perfectly indisputable, I decline mentioning names, lest 1 should unneces sarily wound the feelings of those who are already involved in deep affliction. There is a lady in this neighbourhood who, during the lifetime of a late nobleman, was the partner of his bed, without having any legal claim upon his fortune or his title. At the tim e of his death she had borne him three sons, and in his dying moments he provided most liberally both for them and their mother. Since the death of her protector she has lived a retired life, and has regained the estimation of society, so far as it is possible for arty woman who has so far trans. gressed against chastity as she did, to regain it. Her two eldest sons both have Captain's commis sions in his Majesty's service : one is serving in the The Court, which stood adjourned to yesterday, was farther adjourned to this morning. The calendar here is very heavy. There are up wards of 300 prisoners for trial ; of these, nearly 9 out of 12 are charged with the destruction of machinery, chiefly thrashing and other machines used in agriculture. There are several for riotously as sembling and obtaining money by threats and me nace. A considerable number for riotously and un lawfully assembling, without any other offence being charged ; but in most of the cases of robbery and destruction of machinery they are charged with having been done riotously and tumultuously. There are some charged with resistance to Magistrates in the execution of their duty; some with rescue; some with attacking the Hindon troop of Yeomanry Cavalry.—(ln this attack some of the mob were severely wounded, and one was killed on the spot.) —There were several charged with pulling down a house. One with setting fire to a thrashing-machine; one with sending letters, threatening to set fire to houses, in case the party written to should give evidence at the late trials at Winchester. The per son charged with this offence is, we understand, a farmer. There is this distinction between many of the cases of the destruction of machinery in this county and those which were tried at Winchester —that in the last-named cases there were very few instances of attempts at personal violence, while in many of those to be tried here the conduct of the mobs was marked with violent personal outrage. From the serious nature of some of the charges, it is not likely that the business of the Commission will terminate before this day week, if so soon. A little before ten o'clock this morning the Judges entered the Court. They were accompanied by the High Sheriff (E. W. L. Popham, Esq.), the Mar quis of Lansdowne (the Lord Lieutenant of the county), the Earl of Radnor, and T. G. B. Est court, Esq., who arc joined in the Commission on this occasion. The Earl of Radnor was dressed in his state robe as Recorder of this city. Colonel Mair, who has been so actively and efficiently en gaged in arranging the constabulary force of this and the adjoining counties, was also in attendance. In the course of the day Lord Arundel was on the bench• The attendance of Magistrates, consider ing the number on the roll in this county, was not very numerous. We believe only thirty-six an swered t, their names when called over. Mr. Justice PARKE proceeded to charge the Grand Jury who, after being absent for three quarters of an hour, returned a true bill against 23 individuals for destroying a threshing-machine be longing to John &nett, Esq., the Member for the county. Only seventeen of them are in custody. ATTACK ON JOIIN BENETT, ESQ. The following seventeen individuals were then placed at the bur :—James Blandford, aged 28; Samuel Barrett, 30; B. Pitman, 29 ; James Mould, of Tisbury, 23; Samuel Banstone, 41; Thomas Vining, 19; James 2116zild, of Hatch, 39 ; Thomas Topp, 20; Samuel Eyres, 30; Thomas Rixen, 45; Edmund While, 20; John Barrett, 24; Charles Jerrard, 20; William Snook, 22; Thomas Birt, John Targett, and Andrew illoxam, 23. They were charged with having riotously and tumultuously as sembled, and bloke and destroyed the threshing machine of John Benett, Esq., at Pythouse-farm, in the parish of Tisbury, on the 25th of November last. There were counts in the indictment charging them with having begun to destroy the said machine, and others charging them with having damaged it, with intent to render it useless. The prisoners all pleaded Not Guilty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to observe, that the seventeen prisoners then at the bar formed but a small part of a numerous crowd which assem bled near Hindon, on the 25th of last November, and which, after its assembly, proceeded to acts of outrage and cruelty. The jury were aware that Mr. John Benett, their respected and respectable repre sentative, was a gentleman who cultivated his land with great care. Mr. Benett having received information in London of events which were going to take place in this county, thought it right to leave London, and to return to Pyt-house, in this county, where he conceived his influence might be more suc cessfully exerted for the maintenance of the public peace. He arrived at his seat, at Pyt-house, at four o'clock of the morning of Wednesday, the 24th of November. At eight o'clock he was called up by the information that a riotous and tumultuous mob was assembling in his neigbourhood. He went out in consequence, and found large numbers of la bourers assembling. He addressed them on the sub ject of their alleged grievances, and in reply they told him without reserve, that they were going to destroy all the threshing-machines in that neighbourhood. Mr. Benett, with great kindness and consideration, warned them of the consequences of the offences which they were going to commit ; but in despite of his warning, they proceeded first to Fonthill-Giffard, and afterwards returned to Pyt-house-farm to exe cute their blind vengeance on machinery. On their return to accomplish that object, he again remon strated with them on the impolicy and wickedness of their conduct. He told them that he would have resisted them to the teeth had he had sufficient force to render the chance of successful resistance pro bable; but, he added, that as he had no force ca pable of withstanding their violence at that moment, armed as they were with sticks, and bludgeons, and iron fragments of machinery, he should not make a vain attempt at resistance, but should leave them at their own peril to enter upon his premises and de stroy his machinery. Undeterred by this notice, they proceeded to break in pieces all the threshing ma chinery which they found upon Mr. Benett's pre mises. Whilst they were busily engaged in this work of destruction, Mr. Benett, wha had ridden into the midst of the rioters, suddenly received a volley of stones in his face, which covered him instantly with blood, and were likely to have produced his death. It was not for the more serious part of the offence then committed, that the prisoners of the bar would now be called upon to answer, yet it was probable that the riot, in which all these prisoners had joined, would be made the subject of further investigation, if not with regard to the prisoners then before the Jury, at least with regard to such members of th; mob, as had been more riotously and criminahy en gaged. The Attorney-General then proceeded to call his witnesses to supwirt the indictment. John Benett, Esq. M.P., examined by Mr. Ser. jeant NVILDE—I reside at Pyt-house, in the parish of Tisbury. I was in Wilts on the 24504 of No vember. In consequence of information which I received, I left my house about nine or ten o'clock in the morning of that day. I rode out and met ' upwards of 400 persons . coming _froth the town. of Hindon at a limekiln in Foothill Gifford. I had then ridden about three miles from my own house. They carried hatchets, hammers, very large sticks, and weapons of different descriptions. The sticks were general, the axes were confined to forty or fifty persons. I met Charles .Terrard the elder, who is not in custody ; he wore a party-coloured sash across his body, and carried a very large stick. Charles Jerrard the younger was similarly equipped. spoke to them both. I inquired of the mob their object. I spoke first to the elder Jerrard. H e had often been before me as a magistrate. I spoke to him with firmness and good temper, and as loudly as I could speak. I told him that I was very sorry to see him at the head of such a riotous assembly, and warned him that he was placing himself in greater danger than any that he had ever been in before. I spoke then to the younger Gerrard. I said to hini, "I am sorry to see you with that sash on. I entreat you to get into the rear, for an example will be made of some of you, and I should be sorry to see so young a man as you in a sad scrape." I said to him, " Young man, that sash will hang you.' He came tip with a large stick to my horse, and said to me, " I don't care about hanging—l don't care." I then asked them what they complained of ? They told me that they were going to break all the thresh ing-machines in the county, and that they would have two shillings a day as wages. That was the general cry of the whole party ; it was said by more than one hundred persons. I told them that I had just come from London—that a proclamation from the King had come out only a day before. I offered , to read it to them, but they would not let me. I explained its nature. I told them that it offered it reward of fifty pounds for every man detected in breaking a machine, and of five hundred pounds for the discovery of any person who should set fire to property. They said, "We don't burn--we have nothing to do with the fires." I replied that I was quite convinced that they did not, and I really feel that conviction. I then pointed out to them that they could not trust each other, " for any man," I said, " by informing against ten of you, will obtain at once five hundred pounds." I told them that if they would go home, and preserve their own lives and the peace of the district, I would take care, as far as depended upon me, that they should procure by their good conduct all that others might obtain by their misconduct. The first body then left me, and went to their work of destruction. The mob passed me in three divisions. I spike to each of i hem. In consequence of something that occurred there, I went to my own premises at Pyt-house-farm. The mob, consisting of 500 persons, afterwards came to me there. I can only identify Blandford as being present with the mob at Pyt-house-farm. I had observed him breaking machines before, at Mr. Lam pert's farm. I had a thre , hing-machine at Pyt house-farm ; it is worked by six horses. Part of it is in the barn, part of it out. I rode out of the farm yard to meet the mob. 1 told them that my force was not sufficient to resist them ; but that I would punish them if they broke into my premises. I told them, " You break open these barns at your peril; they are locked. I would resist you if I could; I cannot; but mind, you break the machines without my consent, and at your peril." All who were near my premises must have heard what I then said. They then forced their way into the barn. They broke the machine, which was both inside and out side of it, and began to pull off part of the roof. I . remained about ten minutes with them, sitting quietly on my horse. On a sudden:the whole party at work stopped : that surprised me, and immediately afterwards I received a blow on my head, which de prived me of sense for a short time. How it was given me, whether by a stick or stone, I cannot say of my own knowledge. When I recovered I found myself about fifty yards off my yard in the lane, en tangled in a team of my own cart-horses. My horse had carried me out of the yard into that lane, and would have carried me home, if he had not been stopped. I then found stones coming in every di rection at me from the mob. I was with that mob for three hours. During that time I saw them break machines at three places be ore they came to my barn. Cross-examined by Mr. SMITH-1 believe that at my farm three out of every four men present were actually engaged in destroying the machinery and barn. I think that when I was ut the lime•kil„ I could have got SO men away, but for two men, who compelled others to go on by violence. This was in the rear of the mob, near Hindon. Any man could have got away that liked. The two men put sticks at the back of those who were reluctant, and pu , hed them on. They insulted me most grossly, fi r they saw that I was making an impression on the mob, and they wished to get them away from me. At one time the mob cheered me. I asked them whether they had any objection to me personally.— They said that they had not. They told me that they would not hurt a hair of my head; but they would break all the threshing machines, and mine among the rest. John Brickell identified Blatulfotd, John Barrett, C. Jerrard, W. Snook, Samuel Eyres„ James Mould, a grocer at Hatch, Thomas Topp, Thomas Vining, and Andrew Moxam, as being with the mob at Lawn-quarry, which is about three quarters of a mile from Mr. Benett's machine. On his cross-examination,he admitted that he saw sereral persona forced to join the mob as they went along the road._ Thomas Ball, coachman to Mr. Benett--I saw Thomas Topp with a road-hammer in his hand. I SAW Topp fling the first stone that was flung at Mr. Benett. [Here the witness produced it. It was a flint stone, with a yellow coating, and weighed, we should conceive from the size, about two pounds.) It hit Mr. Benett between the eye and the nose on his face. As soon as it hit him Mr. rienett's head fell upon his neck, his hat fell off his head, and his face was covered with the blood which gushed from his nose. I saw the hat and the stone full together. I endeavoured to get the hat - , but the mob pre vented me. I then pointed with my finger to Topp, as much as to say, it was you that did it ; on which Topp made a dart at me, and struck at me with a sledge hammer. Fortunately, he only hit ►nc with the handle of it on my ear. John Uphill identified Birt, Blandford, Bunstone, J. Barrett, and Vining, as active agents in the ch: struction of the machine. William Woods identified the prisoners Byres, Rixen, and Blandfort;, as breakers of the machine. After further evidence had been adduced, the Jury returned their verdict, finding White and Moxam Not Guilty, and all the other prisoners Guilty. On inquiry it war: ascertained that they were all agricultur►►l leJlourers, except White, who is a blacksmith, Rixen, who is a carter, and Birt, who is a sawyer. (Prisoner denied this in very strong terms. The trial occupied the Court till a quarter-past nine o'cleck at night. The Court then adjourned to nine o'clock on Monday, BERKSIIIR.---READING, SATURDAY, JAN. 1. Thonigs Goodfellow and Robert Gibbs were charged with destroying a threshing-machine, the property of Thomas Ward, on the 22d November, at West Woodhay. Goodfellow is a well-looking young man, and better dressed than the majority of prisoners tried at this commission ; it would also appear that ho has been better educated. his age is fixed by the calendar at 23, and he is stated to be by trade a blacksmith. The Jury, ty4tliA the direction of Mr. Justice PARK, fou,:-.6 both prisoners Guilty. Coodiellow was immediately tried upon another indictment for breaking a threshing machine, the property of Mr. Thomas Hayward, at Inkpen, on the 21st of November.—Guilty. Goodieltlow and Cornelius Bennett were acquitted on a chiirge of robbery, no evidence being offered on the part of the Crown. Bennett and Henry Honey were in like manner acquitted of a charge of robbery, Mr. Gurney de clining to press the case. John Aldridge and George Whiting were in-
