On Thursday a most numerous meeting of the Magistrates of Middlesex took place at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell-green. Upwards of 50 of them were crowded into a small room, in which they have of late years been in the habit of transacting the county business; F. Coss; Esq. in the Chair. The greatest interest had been excited by the two questions, of which notice had been given, viz. the consideration of the expediency of erecting a i'matic asylum, and the proposition for admitting the public to the Court upon all occasions of interest to the county. It was evident, from the conduct of se veral of the Magistrates, that the publication of what took place upon the occasion of the last meet ing, caused no very pleasant sensation among them. Lord Robert Seymour's motion (that relating to the lunatic asylum) stood first on the list, but— Mr. CitAmßE ß s, of Union-hall, wh o h a d g i ven notice of t h e second motion, requested that his Lord ship would waive that which had precedence on the paper, in consideration of the importance of throw ing open the door upon the occasion. To this sug gestion Lord Robert Seymour immediately assent ed; but Sir G. Farrant and others opposed it, and the first motion was immediately proceeded with. Lord R. SEYMOUR stated, that the necessity which existed for a county lunatic asylum had al ready been sufficiently well known; the arguments in favour of an establishment of this kind were long before the public, and the weakness of those who opposed it had been, every body k new, adequate l y exposed. be inserted in Lordshipilis ai the then moved, t h at advertise ments Papers, stating that the Magistrates would, on the next Court-day, take into consideration the expediency of erecting a lunatic asylum. The Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE seconded the motion. The Very Rev. the DEAN of CARList.r. rose to present a memorial relative to the proposition just made. It was from the parish of St. George, an d in favour of the erection of a lunatic asylum. The facts it stated were of the most revolting kind. A deputation from the parish of St. George had visi ted Warburton's asylum to ascertain how the pauper lunatics were treated, and they found that some of the unfortunate inmates were manacled at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and remained in that horrid condition until lon \ • day mornin„ ir (Strong expres s i ons of horror and indi,nation.) They also learned th at the treatment of the' 'mot . c reatures in other respe cts was corresponding with the tortures thus inflicted. They were lawashed with mops. Mr. Warbu rton was questioned qt l ies i) tio ' ned upon the truth of those representations : but he decided that he was not at all aware of th e existence of such a practice in his establishment. The superintendent (Mr. Jennings), however, upon being confronted with the lunatics, admitted there was foundation for the report. It would be difficult to describe the effect of this statement upon the majority of the gentlemen in the assembly. Sir GEORGE FARRANT moved, that as a memo rial had been presented from the parish of St. Mr. JESSOP supported Sir George Farrant's pro position. Sir G. FARRANT said, that as the worthy Alder man (Sir P. Laurie) had the advantage of coming from the east, he no doubt had an extensive know ledge, a sort of intelligence possessed by the citizens of London alone, which enabled him to judge of the merits of what he had never seen—(Laughter ; in which Sir P. Laurie joined.) A Magistrate observed, that a late visit to Oxford by a worthy civic brother, proved the truth of the compliment.—(A laugh.) It was then agreed to Lhat the former memorials should not be read. Lord ROBERT SEYMouit's motion was then agreed to unanimously. PUBLICITY OF PROCEEDINGS. Mr. CHAMBERS then rose to bring forward his motion. He had received information strongly con firmatory of all he had stated upon the necessity of admitting the inhabitants to the discussions. Colonel Wood had declared that the ancient mode of trans acting businesS was in open Court ; and that it was only when it was considered necessary to sit upon private Committees the Magistrates retired to the private room ; he knew this from others, as well as from the high authority of Colonel Wood, only the oldest Magistrates of the county declared that this was the practice, and that if any part of the business remained to be transacted after dinner, the Chairman locked the door and put the key in his pocket, to prevent any person from leaving the room until the whole of the business should be at an end. If there was no other reason for wishing for the admission of the public, the observations of the Dean of Carlisle furnished a sufficient argument. Mr. CONST said that he should give no opinion upon the merits of the question, but he must say that the custom was, and he had.been for many years a magistrate, to transact the cou n ty b us i ness in the private room. Colonel WooD was most decidedly in favour of Mr. Chambers' motion. He supported it not as a new measure, but as the renewal of the old and most beneficial one. A MAGISTRATE said, that the object of the motion appeared to be to gather together the reporters of the newspapers, in order to favour some particular members, by improving their speeches, and making language classical, which betrayed a contempt for all the concords.—(Laughter.) Sir PETEIt LAURIU said, that the question was not whether what took place before the Magistrates should be reported or not, but whether those who paid 50,000/. a-year for rates should be acquainted with the manner in which their money was disposed of. A great deal might be said about the integrity of the gentlemen in the Commission, but he still really thought that the public ought not to be satis fied with a private arrangement in which their pro perty was concerned. A voice from the corner of the room—" Why, there are extracts published, which put the public in possession of all they want to know." Sir PETER LAURIE said, that it was well known to be an easy matter to give extracts which repre sented or rather coloured a statement much higher than it really was.—(Hear, hear.)—He would he glad to know in what Court in this country, public business was transacted with closed doors c' A INIAGISTRATF.-" The Court of Aldermen."— (Loud laughter.) Sir P. LAURIE was glad to have the opportunity of alluding to the practice of that Court, of which he was a member; the discussions were certainly held with closed doors, but then those discussions did not comprehend the grand point—the finances of the city.—(Hear, hear.)—The Court which had the power of disposing of the fund was an open Court, and it was his most anxious wish that the Court of Aldermen was equally improved.—(A laugh.)—One of the arguments used on a former oc casion against the proposition was, that the ambition of the members to appear in print was so great that there would be no such thing as checking the ten dency to eloquence, and that the consequence would be the delay and confusion of the public business. Now, experience proved the reverse; it was well known that in places where the public were admit ted, speakers were very cautious of the quality of their effusion, but when there was no danger of pub licity, a sort of gossiping took place, by which busi ness was altogether suspended. Mr. CoNsT declared that the press had grown to a frightful height. It, in fact, ruled every thing. This sentiment the worthy Chairman repeated seve ral times during the discussion. Sir G. FARRANT rose amidst profound silence, and when a speech was expected, merely said, " I move the previous question," and sat down. Mr. Sergeant PELL was in considerable difficulty as to the conduct he should pursue. lie admitted that immense advantages arose from the publication of what took place on occasions on which the public money was disposed of, but he often thought that discussions came forward in which ex-parte state ments were made of a prejudicia! nature, and which the parties had no opportunity of denying or re fitting. The Dean of CARLISLE was most certainly of opinion that the business ought to be conducted in open Court, and if the motion were amended in such a manner as to allude solely to the peculiar matters of the county, he should vote for the motion. There were questions, decidedly, which it would not be proper to discuss with open doors. These matters could be settled in the private room. It was decided that an amendment could not be adopted, except with the approbation of the mover of the previous question. Sir GEORGE FAIRRANT would not withdraw his amendment. Mr. BRISCOE was quite delighted to find that several converts of great importance had been made since last the question was discussed. The more the rates, and the payers of rates, were considered, the more every one was convinced of the propriety of allowing the public to be acquainted with the pro ceedings of the Court.—(Hear, hear.) The question was then put, and the amendment Was carried, there being about 26 hands held up for it, and 18 or 19 against it. The original motion was of course lost, but the question has gained ground considerably since the last Court-day. It is remarkable that most of the paid Magistrates voted against the admission of the public!, but spoke not a word. We recollect that one of the arguments used on a former occasion against the motion was, that it would be inconvenient to retire to a cold Court to which the public might be admitted. God knows, it would have been merciful to have removed to any place where pure air could be breathed. Many of the elder Magistrates were obliged to stagger out of the room half suffocated. Before the business was concluded all 'were exhausted. On Thursday morning, the area gate of No. 10, Parkysquare, was forced open, and a quantity of clothes were stolen from the house, belonging to a servant who is left in charge of it.

Sometimes it is sudden and unexpected. The patient, uttering perhaps an excla mation of some unusual or painfal feeling in the head, drops down insensible, without previous complaint. In general, however, (and probably the same would be found in all cases, if minutely examined), the approach of the disease is indicated by certain pre monitory signs, which it is desirable you should make yourselves acquainted with; because, by en deavouring to obviate and relieve them, the attack may sometimes be warded off, and the disease alto gether prevented. These signs consist, for the most part, of some imperfection or disorder in one or other of the seworial functions ; such as imperfect or ir regular vision; deafness, or noise in the ears; numb ness, or unusual sensations in the limbs ; weakness of the voluntary muscles, often observable in the muscles of speech, rendering articulation difficult ; impaired memory, or other of the mental faculties ; an nnusual disposition to slec v (lethargy) and incubus or nig,ht mare; in some cases,violent and long-continued or fre qt: en tly repeated headache precedes the attack of apo plexy. In genera], in apoplexy, the pulse is full and strong, and beats slowly. Sometimes,i t does not deviate materially from the natural state. In extreme cases, the pulse is small, feeble and irregular: and, in these, the disease in general quickly proves fatal. Respira tion corresponds for the most part, with the action of the heart : if this beats slowly, respirationia coin monly slow also, and accompanied with stertor or loud snoring. There is occasionally deep sighing. The pupils are mostly dilated, but sometimes the reverse. Sometimes they are observed to be dilated and contracted alternately, in quick succession, and without the influence of light. The face is generally flushed, and often bloated in appearance ; and the features are relaxed. The stools and urine are some times discharged involuntarily. The duration of the apoplectic state is very various. Sometimes, even though complete, it goes off in a few minutes ; or it may continue for many hours, or even days. But if there is no remission of sympt oms for twenty-four hours, the disease commonly proves fatal. Sometimes, again, the stupor takes place gradually, and increases from hour to hour, till it becomes complete. In this case, also, the patient generally dies. Apoplexy rarely occurs at an early age, nor in general till after the middle period of life. A very large proportion of old people die of appolexy ; which is induced often in such by slight and trivial causes. The form of body may predis pose to the disease ; as a large head, short neck, and great corpulency. A sedentary and luxurious mode of living ; long and intense thinking, especially when attended with anxiety of mind; and habits of intoxication; are also among the predisposing causes and serve to account for the more frequent occur rence of apoplexy in men than in women. [Ques tion—Has gas, or air, any thing to do with apoplexy? How many, after drinking freely of spirits, or eating hearty suppers, are carried off by apoplexy. Is it the want of sufficient power to expel gas that brings about, possibly, the internal bursting of blood-vessels ? Will gas cause pressure on the blood in the blood-vessels, and cause rupture of the blood-vessels ? Has the stomach-pump, in cases of apoplexy after full eating or drinking, been yet had recourse to ? Would it not be worth medi cal men's while to try the experiment, for in cases of apophxy, aftef all, what is It that brings patients round but aperients and blood-letting. A man who eats and drinks largely at night, and then lies down in his bed, may, in some respects, be compared to an overcharged gasometer. Now if too muah be taken into the stomach, and too great a brewing of gas should be the consequence, is not the living gaso meter in a fair way of being bursted in some part of it, for gas or air, however minute, the too great por tion will escape as well from the living, as from the inanimate thing containing it.J IMPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS. Our readers may recollect that Messrs. Atkinson and Barr, calenderers, of Manchester, were summoned, at the instance of Mr. Graham, the collector of Ex cise, to show 'ause why they should not forfeit nine teen pieces of printed cottons or handkerchiefs, that were found on their premises without a stamp de noting that the duty upon them had been paid, and that after hearing the facts of the case, in which it was admitted by the informant that no fraud was in tended, Mr. Foster, the sitting Magistrate, said that he would give judgment on the following Thursday. In consequence of this intimation, Mr. Alexander Kay, who appeared on the behalf of the defendants, attended at the New Bailey Court House, on Thurs day, and stated that Mr. Faultier had learnt (but he could not vouch for the fact) that the matter had been before the Board of Excise, and had excited considerable attention. The officers were extremely desirous that the question should be set at rest ; but the Board, considering that the Act related principally to goods upon which a drawback . was claimed on their exportation, and that was passed above a century ago, declined to . give any official instructions as to the seizure of goods found as were those of Mr. Faulkner. If the act, said Mr. Kay, were construed literally, the bu siness of the town would be completely paralysed.— The officers might enter the shops and seize any remnant of printed cotton that had lost the tab end. Licensed hawkers might be stopped on the highway, heir packs rummaged, and their contents seized.— He therefore begged that before the Magistrates de cided upon the question th ey wou ld take these po i nts i n to their consideration. M r . G ra h am h ad expresse d himself satisfied that the duty had been paid, and that, consequently, th ere cou ld h ave b een no fraud in the c ase . Th e only question then was, were t h e goods, un d er t h ese circumstances, l i a bl e to se i zure It was true, that the words of the act were dis tinct upon the point, but hi hoped the Magis trates, possessed as they were of the real facts of the case, would decide not upon the letter, but upon the spirit an d mean i ng of the act, which undoubtedly applied more to the shipment of printed goods, upon which there was claimed a drawback, than to practice now and so long prevalent, not only in Manchester, but in every manufacturing town in the kingdom. Th e i practice had prevailed n London to five times th e extent that it had done in Manchester; and surely, continued Mr. Kay, if that practice (continu e d as i t 'had been, in the vicinity of the Board of Excise,) had been deemed illegal, it would, ere now, have been put down. In answer to a question from Mr. Milne, Mr. Graham, the collector of excise, said that excise officers never had, nor was it their intention, ever to enter the retail shops of the town for the purpose of seizing goods that were divested of the tab ends. It was only the places of the manufac turers—the dealers by wholesale—to which their attention was principally directed ; inasmuch as the wholesale dealers being more nearly connected with the printers than shopkeepers, they had (if they were so inclined) more ample means of defrauding the revenue. The magistrates (Mr. Marriott, Mr. Foster, and Mr. Brierl v , ) consulted together for some time ; and Mr. Marriott, the chairman, said that they were very much disposed to relieve Mr. Faulk ner, but the words of the act so tied them down that they had no alternative but confirming the seizure of c,,3 Oa Monday lest John Budge, James Budge, and Tr. Ellingham, were capitally indicted for having, on Monday night the 21st, or early on Tuesday morn ing the 22d day of August, committed a rape on the body of Ann Stamford, at March; and Joseph Kitchen the younger, and W. Beck, were indicted for feloniously aiding and assisting the said John Budge, James Budge, and W. Ellingham, in com mitting the said rape. Mr. Payetz detailed the facts of the case, which were afterwards proved in evidence. [The accomplice Kitchen having an indictment against him for committing the capital offence before the before-mentioned prisoners;eiothing on this trial was gone into respecting the rape by Kitchen, he being separately tried for the offencea—See the fol lowing report.] Ann Stamford, the prosecutrix, stated e -he was the wife of James Stamford, of Wood Wal ta ,n, in the county of Huntingdon ; she was 59 years of e pee, titl had been the mother of eight children. sh e , left home on the day named in the indictment, to go to March : she arrived thereabout nine or ten o'clock in the evening; went into the White Hart Inn t o get some refreshment; on coming out she m et Kitchen ; asked him the way to a Mrs. Sturman's ; he led her the wrong way. [What took place is disclosed on his trial.] Came back into the town with him ; made an alarm ; saw a tall man (Joh n Budge) with James Budge, Ellingham, and Beck ; they whispered together. Kitchen having chere-e1 her with steatitg his watch, she ',greed to go to the field to search for it; 'when she had got ic.ede the gate, in a close called Goeiman% Close„lohnLudge got hold of her and threw her down, [Here the witness completely proved the commission of the capital offence, first by John Budge, then by James Budge, and William Effingham; some held her legs while the others perpetrated the deed.] Prosecu trix made all the resistance in her power, and cried out murder. 'When they had done she got up, put her hands together (witness here described the man ner), end preyed of Beck not to meddle with her ; he laughed, and then threw ilex down. From the fall she became insensible, and did not know what occurred for some time. When she came to herself they were standing around her--they then ran away. prosecutrix got up, but found she could not walk; she then sat down a little while, got up again, and walked to Mrs. Sturman's. Prosecutrix called them up, and told what had happened: she then went to bed—Mrs. Sturman examined her. The next day she went before the Mitieietrates.—On cross-exa mination nothing was elicited to shake her former testimony. Mrs. Sturman, of Much, remembers prosecutrix coming to her house, and calling her up, about half past three in the morning ; sha said, for God's sake get up, 1 have been ravished. Her gonn v,7,,s all torn, her hair all down, and she was crying bitterly witness examined her hrfore she went to bed, found a bruise on her thigh, a scratch ou her shoulder, cut on her loins, and a bump on her head. On cross-examination, witness slid she had never said to prosecutrix, if you don't hang these men I will never ti peak to you again. Matthew litmus and othtr witnesses corroborated various parts of the prosocutriel testimony. Mr, Belden, assistant to Mr. Culledge, surgeon, of March, examined—Found the bruises as stated by the witness Sturman; he also described further violence done to her person ; he also found the right wrist bruised, as if made by the nails in a man's shoe. For the defence, two or three persons were called to the character of Ellingham. The Learned JUDGE summed up with great clear ness, explaining the law as applicable to the case. The Jury, after retiring for some time, returned, finding all the prisoners Guilty of the capital crime charged in the indictment. TRIAL OF .10fiEPH KITCHEN.—Joseph ritehvi, the prisoner tried with Budge and others, was ar raigned on Tuesday, on the capital charge of violat ing the person of Ann Stamford. Mr. FLANNAGAN objected to the trying the pri soner on this second indictment, observinff that the law of England did not authorize the trying a man twice for the sam-! cffence. He contended that at the trial of yesterday, the indictment charged the rape on one count, and in a second count charged the aiding and abetting, on which second count the pri ,loner was found guilty. The Learned Counsel therefore contended that the offence of rape being laid in both indictments, and prisoner having been acquitted of the rape on the first, he was not called upon to plead to the second. Mr. PRTME, in reply, argued that the offence mentioned in the first indictment being for a rape and aiding others, and the second indictment being for an entirely new charge, that of rape only, xv;ien he was alone with the prosecutrix, he was rightly charged. A Jury was empannelled to try this issue, and a verdict that they were separate and distinct offences recorded. The trial then proceeded. Ann Stamford was then called. She stated, in nearly the same terms as on the former trial up to the meeting with Kitchen, in the street, and her asking him to show her the way to Sturman's, in stead of doing which he took her to Goodman's close. She stated, that he threw her down; she struggled and called out murder. When he had effected his purpose, she got up. lie then charged her with stealing his watch, and rifled her pockets. He then threw her down again and repeated the offence. Prosecutrix got up and ra-7 away. She came to Cunningham's door, and called out murder, and said he had violated her. Prisoner told him she had got his watch; he also caught hold of her and said, you, I'll do for you before you leave March," The same evidence was then gone th roug h , as to t h e meeting the Budges, her going to Stun -man's, the surgeon, &c. as on th e f ormer trial. An additio: .. :l witness was c a ll e d , Eli za b eth Threader, who was r.:• tending M rs . G ray on the night in question ; and heard " mur d er " called ten t i mes, procee di ng f rom Goodman's close. She could not go down stairs for fear of disturbing Mrs. Gray, who was very Verdict—Guilty. The prisoner; Kitchen, Eilingham, James Budge, .John Budge, and William Beck, were tiler. put to the bar. The Learned Judge entreated the culprits to have no hopes of mercy, and passed the awful sentence of the law upon them. They were then removed from the bar in an agony of grief. CH ICMESTER.-RECOVERY OF A STOLEN' CHILD.—A girl, the daughter of a chimney-sweeper named Hammond, was apprehended in Chichester this day (Saturday), on suspicion of stealing a child, named John Kemp, aged six years, front Silverhill, in this county, whose disappearance caused a considerable sensation in the neighbourhood. A subr:ription was raised at Maidstone, and an officer was sen t i n pursuit, and happily di scovered the little fellow, is a cottage on the New Broil, a per f ect sweep, witheut shoe or stocking, and in a m os t d ep U ra bl e state. He ,was, however, soon c l eane d , washed, and clothed, and a s ubscription raised by the persons who soon flocked to see him. The wretch Was obliged to be pro. tected by the constables from the fury of the populace, whet taken from the White Hart to be conveyed before the ma• gistrates. FlRE.—Yesterday morning, between three an d four o'clock, a fire broke out in the house ofMr. Hug_ 3 ir ti great f ury, and soon ma n, tallow-chandler, Shoemaker-row, Broadway, Lid ge-iil The flam es, w hi ch f i rst appeere d i n t h e cellar, s pread l with . enveloped the shop in one body of flame and smoke. An alarm was given immedi ately on the fire being discovered ; but the inmates found it impossible to escape, by proceeding down stAirs, owing to the immense Lody of fire and crnoke making its progress upwards. The family were, consequently, in the greatest distress, and were seen imploring assistance at the win. dews, almost in a state of nudity. ney were, however, ultimately rescued from their impending danger through the attic window, therwhy making their way over the ad joining houses. The prompt arri‘kal of the engines pro. vented the fire from making much progress, and the fire.. men finally succeeded in extinguishing it, but not before considerable damage was done to V's Luilding, and two
