Meinberi who felt as Frenchmen ought. to feel upon a question involving the dearest rights of their country—the freedom of public opinion, and the safeguard of public liberty. They saw the insidious character of the measure, and de nounced the principle with an unanimity worthy of enlightened minds. The Government taking this temper of a part as indicative of the general fe eling of the Chamber so truly corroborative of t he public voice, and dreading that the triumph of 4r. CANNING in England might accelerate th eir total discomfiture, they hastily withdrew t he measure in order to preserve the appearance ( ‘ ', f having performed an act o f grace t h roug h de lerenee t o public opinion. But they are mistaken 111 t his suppositi on — t h e peop l e v i ew their con duet i n its proper light—and give them credit 11only for consultin g their own safety by the sacri ce o f a plan wh ose success t h reatene d pu bli c b erty. The withd rawa l o f t h e measure was not y a °Fficial l nnounced on Tuesday evening, but the People got a hint of the circumstance, and several streets were instantly illuminated. ..Joy pervaded ev ery bosom and a general illumination w as expected to take place on Wednesday eveni ng . 1 his will read the apostolicals a very useful lesson -- it will also inform his MAJESTY that his Mini sters have deceived him in their slavish estimate °l e the national f ee li ng .

The accounts from Spain say that Catalonia is r eturning to tranquillity, but we disbelieve them.

With regard to the other new American States, some material concessions have, it is said, been made by France, among which may be men tioned the right of granting passports, which has been for mally given to the Representative Agent% whether as Con suls, or in whatever character resident in Paris; such pass ports to be equally ♦alid with those issued by the Ambas sadors of any recognised Power. This concession has been made to the whole of the new States, including Chile and Peru, which have not yet been formally recognised in England. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Clock. The business transacted this morning in the English Funds has been of a very limited character, to which the present uncertainty, as to the non-completion of the new Ministerial arrangements, materially contributes. Consols opened at 83i 4, at which rate they closed yesterday, and scarcely any variation has since taken place, until within this few minutes, when they went to 83 ;in the heavy Stocks no alteration has occurred ; 4 per Cents., 98/ 9 ; Ditto, 1824, 971 ; Bank Stock, 203 I ; and India Stock 246 7 ; Exchequer Bills are rather lower, being 45 6 ; and India Bonds, 67 9 pm. In the Foreign Funds some business has been done in Mexican Bonds at 701 1. The Bears in Colombian Bonds having oversold themselves have been obliged to come into the market at an increased price, which has kept this security at its present apparent high rate compared with their future prospects; they are now at 37 ; Russian Bonds are also a shade higher, being 89 ; Greek are quoted at rather lower prices, being 15/ 164. In Shares nothing can be added to our former reports, at least of a favourable nature, and as the time is enlarged, when the sanguine proprietors expect returns, to between one and two years, hence the public seem deter mined to have nothing to do with these speculations, and they are quite neglected. Three per Cent. Consols, 83 ; Ditto for account, 83 ; India Bonds, 68 9 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 45 7 pm. FOREIGN FUNDS.-Brazilian, 63 4 ; Buenos Ayres, 57 9 ; Chilian, 36 7 ; Colombian, 1824, 37 ; Danish, 614 1; Greek, 151 164 ; Mexican, 5 per Cent., 58 9 ; Ditto 6 per Cent., 701- ; Peruvian, 32i 34 ; Portuguese, 784 1 ; Russian, 89:k ; Spanish, lq MINES.—AngIo Mexican, 40 35 dis. ; Brazilian, par Bolivar, par ; Colombian, 14 16 per Share ; Pasco Peru vian, 17 16 die.; Potosi, 28 30 per Share; Real del Monte, 85 95 pm. ; Tlalpuxabua, 20 26 pm. ; United Mexican, 13i 12i dis. Two o' Clock. The Consol market has not had the most trivial alters teration ; they continue at 83 it, with scarcely a bargain doing. The Foreign market remains in a perfect calm, with little or no variation in prices. THREE 0' CLOCK. Consols, 83, buyers. FOUR o'CLOCK—CLOSING PRICES.

The George, Burn, got so much damaged by the ice that she must discharge to repair. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR arrived at Lincoln's Inn at a few minutes before ten o'clock, and saw persons who had business before him till half past 12. His Lordship appeared in excellen't health and spirits, alluding occasionally to his retirement with smiling cheerfulness. . I I went out 'of Office. Now, ,it be a very great satisfaction for -me to know in what cases the parties would now consent to do that, and in what cases they would not. It would be A great in convenience for me to get through them all before 'I quitted office ; and if it would be a convenience to the parties to have my judgments afterwards, I shall do lay best to satisfy them. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S RETIRENIXNT. At an early period of the morning, his Loin:ism? said, if I depart hence before I get through all myjudgments, which I fancy may probably be the case, I should very much wish to know, ivliether the parties in the cases that stand for judgment, will have any objection to my doing what I did when I went out of office in the year 1806, namely, to give the judgments as soon after I go out as I possibly can, those judgments being to be considered as if they had been given when I was in office. If parties would have the goodness to let me know their feelings on this subject, I should be very happy. Mr. Kwiasur could only speak for those for whom he himself was concerned, and, with the utmost confidence, he could take upon himself to state, that nothing could pos sibly be proposed so satisfactory to all parties interested in the cases in which he was that stood fur judgment than such a plan. TURNIVAL v. IIoCLE. Mr. KNIGHT had a special injunction to move for ex parte in this case, which he hoped he might be at liberty to move. His Loansmr—Why, Mr. Knight, I had made up my mind to do no more business in the way of hearing any thing. I certainly had ntade up my mi n d t o t h at ; and. the reason of it was, that I thought I could do better for the suitors at large, by confining myself entirely to dis posing of the cases that have been argued b e f ore me . Mr. KNIGHT said his injunction pressed excessively. His Loansmr—Though I had made up my mind as I have stated, yet my respect for you, Mr. Knight, has always been so great, that I don't know how I can refuse you any thing, and therefore let me hear what your mo tion is? The motion was for an injunction to restrain proceedings in the Lord Mayor's Court, upon an attachment that had been made upon 12,0001. in a banker's hands, upon the plaintiff's bringing that sum into Court, to abide the result of the cause. The question was, upon the construction of an agreement respecting some se curities to a large amount. The defendants are in Scotland, but by a process in the City have been laying hold of the plaintiff's money in question. The Injunction was granted until the futher order of the Court, upon the plaintiff 's bringing the sum into Court before 12 o'clock on Wednesday, otherwise it was to be ipso facto dissolved. HILL V. REARDON. His LORDSHIP said, that he had finally made up his mind on this case, which had been as difficult a ens to deal with "as had ever come before him. His opinion was, that the bill must be dismissed. He continued to think that this Court had the jurisdiction to attach equities on the award of the commissioners for the two countries, England and France, in some cases, but this was not a case, upon the state of the present record, in which the plaintiff had an equity to be attached, and therefore the order now to be made, dismissed the bill, but without costs. Whether the Crown had any right further to interfere, his Lordship would not deal with, as that question was not before him. He thought application ought to be made for the money to be taken out of Court upon notice being given. ARRANGEMENT FOR GIVING JUDGMENTS. His LORI/SHIP stated, with respect to the bankrupt peti tions, I think there will be no difficulty in giving the judg ments upon those which have been heard. Any bankrupt petitions that have not been heard I shall not enter upon at all. Those that are part heard, if there be an incon venience, as t h ere may be, to those interested, to have them fully hea r d b y any other person, I think it but a duty on my part, to go on with the hearing of those petitions, if the parties wish it ; because I should be sorry that any additional expense should be incurred by having them gone over again. With respect to the. Lunatic Petitions, I sent them all back, and on a great proportion I endorsed what I thought the orders should be. As to the others, I have carefully read them over; if Mr. Law, or Counsel, could attend me on Monday, I could then get through them, so as not to leave my successor any old ones whatever to begin With. H i s L or 6hip again observed,—when I went out of office in 1806;"such of the' judgments as could not be given before I was obliged to deliver up`the Great Seal, the Counsel and parties at that time were pleased to repose so mueh "confidence in me as to -.3.y they would afterwards take the judgments as if they had been given before HAY MARKETS.—(At per Load of 36 Trusses.)

We have enquired into the report, and have reason. to believe it is altogether destitute of foundation.—Nottinyhain Review.' RATTRAY V. GEORGE. Mr. WRAY wished to know whether his Lordslatp would finally hear this (in part heard) cause. His LORDSHIP said, that that would just depend upon the length of time Mr. Rattray might be disposed to speak. Last time be addressed the Court, he seemed to bid fair to speak for a much longer time than others seemed dis posed to allow him (the Lord Chancellor) to hold the Great Seal.—(A laugh.) His Lordship will sit on Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, to dispose of the matters in lunacy and bankruptcy before him, to the extent to which he can go. The Secretary wished to know whether his Lordship would take the Bankruptcies or Lunacies first. His Lord ship said it was quite a matter of indifference to him ; they were both unpleasant jobs (a laugh) so he did not care a farthing which he tackled to first. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. SOLARTE V. PAtMER AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the assignees of a Spanish merchant, named Alzedo, living in London, for the recovery of 6851., the amount of a Bill of Exchange, drawn by John Pearse upon I); Jones, and Co., and indorsed by the defendants. The action was defended on the grounds that the transaction was usurious and illegal on the part of the bankrupt, and that the defendant had not received due no tice of the dishonour of the bill. Mr. SCARLSTT (with whom was Mr. PoLLocx) stated the pltintiff's case. J. Mitchell, clerk to Barclay, Tritton, and Co., bankers, proved the signature of the defendants to the Bill of Exchange. F. Goatenhy, clerk to a notary public, presented the Bill of Exchange at the bankers where it was made payable, on the 15th of December, and was referred to the acceptor. Charles Robertson proved the 'handwriting of Jones and Co., the acceptors of the Bill. John Pearce, the plaintiff's attorney, was solicitor to the bankrupt. When he failed, there was, about 30,0001. worth of kills running. Those bills were handed to witness by the assignees. It was a period of great financial embarrassment, and nine or ten of the bills were returned every day. The uniform practice of the office, was for witness to write to the indorsers, and acquaint them that their bill had been disho noured. These letters he handed to the clerk to copy, with orders to deliver them, or put them in the post. Witness had no doubt that he had written to the defendant, but had no recollection of the particular fact. Rosson, clerk to the last witness, produced a copy which he bad taken of a letter, addressed to the defendants by Mr. Pearce, acquainting them with the dishonour of the bill. Witness had no doubt that he put the letter from which the copy was made into the post, but had no posi tive recollection of the fact. Cross-examined—There were other clerks in the office, and witness could not swear positively that one of them had not taken the letter in question to the post-office, or delivered it. There were nine clerks in the office, and two of those were in the habit of delivering letters as well as witness. The names of those clerks were Brown and Phillips. The letters were placed on a desk near the door, and were taken to the post sometimes by one, and some times by another. If the other clerks did not take the letters witness must have taken them. It was not the cus tom for the copying clerk to mark the letters with his initials. There were four persons who might have taken the letters. The LORD Cntzr JUSTICE said, that unfortunately it did not appear to be the practice in the office to mark the initials on the letters, and even if it were, he feared that the clerk who copied the letter would not be the one who marked it. Mr. Scaammr said, that three of the persons wbo were mentioned by the witness, as being likely to deliver the let ters were in attendance, but unfortunately the fourth was not in town. Under these circumstances he wished to know, whether the Court conceived he could go on. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, he would not direct the Jury to nonsuit, because of the deficiency of evidence, but it was a most suspicious circumstance to go to the Jury. He confessed he felt very sorry for it, as the Solicitor appeared to have acted with great care, but all his care was frustrated by the negligence of his clerks. (Turning to the witness his Lordship said, that it ought to be a warning to him, and others in similar situations, to attend to the orders of em ployers.) _ _ - Mr. SCA 11,LETT said, that under the circumstances, he felt he ought not to go on, and would therefore consent to a nonsuit. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—Let the plaintiff be called. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). MANSION-HOUSE. Two gentlemen, named Jordan and Geskin, were brought before the LORD MAYOR, under the Game Laws, on a charge of purchasing a hare each, and having confessed their guilt they were each fined fire pounds. Richard Southey, an apothecary, was charged by a Mr. Benningfield with spitting in his face. The complainant stated, that as he was playing at a game of whist with the defendant, Mr. Burridge and Mr. Anderson, at the Commercial Sale Coffee Room, last night, a dispute arose between Mr. Anderson and the defendant, regarding the call at eight, the former contending that lie was entitled to make the call, and the latter denying it, they at last became warm upon the subject, and Mr. Anderson said to the defendant that he had played with many gentlemen in his life, but that he never played with one that acted like the defend ant. Upon which the defendant rose and collared Mr. Anderson, at the same time using violent language. Wit ness then interposed, and the defendant abused him and spit in his face. Wit ne ss then went for a watchman, and gave him in charge. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Burridge corroborated the above statement. _ _ Southey, in defence, said that Anderson had called him a swindler, which highly provoked him, and that Ben ningfield had struck him in the mouth ; and if he had not like a coward gone for a constable, he (Southey) would have given him a good drubbing. Another witness stated, that Southey had, on former oc casions, made very free with the prosecutor's character. The Loan Mavoa ordered Southey to enter into his own recognizances for 50/. to appear at the next Sessions. BOW-STREET. A genteel looking lad, named William Hopkinson, was charged with embezzling various sums of money from Mr. Richards, a linen-draper, in Oxford-street, in whose em ployment he had been engaged. He had been discharged for some misconduct, and it was afterwards discovered that he had received several sums of money that he had not ac counted for.—Committed. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN MARKET. There was a moderately good supply at this morning's mar ket, and the trade 'was brisk. Most kinds of Vegetables, with Sweet Oranges and Lemons, were considerably dearer than on this day se'nnight, Asparagus, in particular, was exceedingly scarce and dear, and a few bundles of remarkably fine White Brocoli were said to have produced ss. each.

Shakspeare's Play of C . ymbeline has been some time in preparation at Covent-garden. It is intended to be brought out with unusual splendour. The scenery and dresses are to be entirely new, and the whole is getting up at great expense. The new Melo-drama at Covent-Garden is de cidedly the best Easter Entertainment brought out for many years. It does Mr. Farley infinite credit. The treasury report, which is a good test of public approbation, has it that the receipts exceed those of Cherry and Fair Star. In defence of angling it may be justly said, that of all sports it is the most respectable, for every angler is a gentle-man.—Mirror.

A CONCEITED STAG.—There was also in the forest small fallow deer ; the buck has two small sharp horns without any branches, pointing outwards from their base. His Excellency the vice-president, knowing my par tiality to animals, had the kindness to send me a tame stag. He was a noble animal, and so tame that he would feed out of any person's hand. I was obliged at last to part with him. He had a trick of going up stairs and walking deli berately into tke drawing-room, and admiring himself in a large mirror ; and on these occasions my servants found it difficult to make him leave the room without injuring the furniture. He was particularly fond of barley.— Travels through Colombia. A man in the province of Bengal had been a long time very successful in hunting the tiger ; his skill gained him great eclat, and had insured him much diver sion ; at length he narrowly escaped with his life. He then relinquished the sport with this observation : " Tiger-hunting is a very fine amusement, so long as we hunt the tiger ; but it is rather awkward when the tiger takes into his head to hunt us."—Mirror. MOORE'S PROPHECIES.--Since the year 1817, when Francis Moore adopted the Hieroglyphic of Britannia TVeeping, and in which year we had to notice the painful and universally-lamented circumstance of the Death of the Princess Charlotte of Wales, the produc tions of the Almanack maker have been quite uninteresting. The present year, however, is likely to restore this annual nostrum of the prophet, in the minds of the credulous, to its former celebrity, as regards the knowledge it conveys of future events. The months of March and April divide a paragraph, which will be construed by some as exclusive information respecting the late change in the British Mi nistry. The following is the passage to which we allude : —One of the Long Robe about this time meets with the frowns of his Prince ; whilst, on the other hand, another finds himself elevated to a station of great importance and trust." The time of this prophecy is much better defined than other prognostics which relate to changes in the wea ther. It is fixed to occur between the 30th of March and the 13th of April ! Chelmsford Chronicle. A o, bbery P was nvi effectedlleunder the e i fo lk il l o o w n in d g aylast, in Chapel-street , circumstan ces :—A fashionably dressed young man, of most i m p os i ng appearance, called at the house, No. 21, in th e a b ove street, between twelve and one o'cl oc k i n t h e afternoon, robbery and requested to know if Mr. Willan' (a person wh o ac tually resided there) was at home. -He was informed that he had gone out of town to visit his sister. The stranger, who had been previously shown into the parlour, then asked for a sheet of paper to write him a note. Mr. Hughes, another lodger, and the person who spoke to the stranger, went up stairs to get the paper, and was absent about two minutes. The stranger then wrote the follow ing epistle, in a wretched hand : " April 1.5. " Dear Bill,--.I cam From the country thus morning and tryed to find you at deffirent places but Did not succad i suppose you will be in town in a few days and I will call gain A mus be son. " DICK POTS." Mr. Willan returned in the evening, and having occasion to use his writing-desk, which was in the parlour, he found it had been forced open, and robbed of 30 sovereigns and about 25 shillings in silver. ANOTHER INFORMER DEFEATED. --O R Thursday a notorious informer, named James Benwell, de scribing himself a gentleman, residing at Edmonton, preferred an information against Mr. Mawbey, a stage-coach pro prietor, for not having his name placed in full on the pannel of the coach-door, which, if proved, subjects the defendant in a penalty of 101. The parties having appeared before the Magistrate at Queen-square Office, the information was read over, when the defendant pleaded not guilty. The informer's witness was a smart genteel lad, about 17 years of age, named Stapleton, living at No. 26, Cirencester place, New-road, Marylebone, and was a labourer; he de posed, that on the afternoon of the 11th inst. he saw the defendant's stage, which runs from Fulham to London, pass the Duke of Wellington's house in Piccadilly, and noticed the name " Samuel Mawbey" over the coach-door, and at bottom the words " London, Fulham ;" the former, was not on the pannel as directed. The worthy Magistrate said, then there is nothing in the information whatever, and instantly dismissed it with costs against the informer. Benwell, on hearing the decision, was sorely chagrined, and speedily crept out of the office, accompanied by his young pupil, amid the laughter or the spectators. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. The Rev.

The fourteenth anniversary Meeting of this Society was held yesterday evening at the London Tavern, Bishop's gate-street, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR in the Chair. The assemblage on this occasion was extremely numerous, consisting principally of ladies. A long report was read by the Rev. Mr. Watkins (Secretary) showing the important advantages effected by this Society, the ob ject of which is to promote the moral and religious im provement of domestic servants, and to encourage them to be correct and trust-worthy in their conduct, and to continue as long as possible in their respective services. After the report was read, the Right Hon. Chairman, and several clergymen present, successively addressed the Meeting in support of the views and interests of the so ciety. Amongst the speakers was the Rev. E. Irving, who came forward, he said, out of gratitude for the blessing he enjoyed in the services of two pious and modest servant maids. The Rev. Gentleman in the course of a speech of an hour's length, and which was described by his reverend successor, as treating de omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis, introduced an anecdote in illustration of the blessed con sequences resulting from infusing piety and scriptural knowledge into the minds of servants. He told the story with great originality of manner. The Rev. Gentleman concluded by seconding one.of the resolutions. Thanks having been voted to the Loan Maxon, his Lordship expressed his acknowledgments, and the Meeting adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The Constable, 4 years, MYSTERIOUS MURDER. On Thursday night, - between 11 and 12 o'clock, a merrier was discovered to have taken place in the house of Robert Seale, a rule-maker, in No. 46, Wentworth-street, Spitalfields, which, in atrocity, has scarcely a parallel, and its perpetratio n , as well as the parties themselves, are yet involved in the darkest mystery. The facts, as they can at present be collected, are these :—On last Saturday, about twelve o'clock, a man apparently ber iering on sixty years of age, swarthy complexion, full face, and in excellent good health, about five feet six inches in height, dressed in a grey frock coat and dark panta loons, called at the house of Mrs. Stafford, in Wentworth-street, who keeps a lodgiug-house, (it appears the custom is to let the lodgings by the night), and asked her for lodgings. She had none unoccupied, but seeing him a respectable settled man, she recom mended him to her opposite neighbour, a shoemaker. He had a wife, but no woman was then with him. He agreed for the lodging at Bd. per night for a week at Seale's, and gave Is. earnest, but neither gave his name nor any reference. He and his wife, who is described as a decently-attired middle-sized woman, about 40 years of age, slept there that night. On Sunday he was seen by one of the lodgers in the same house in the yard, and on Monday he was also seen to bring a pot of porter from the Seven Stars public-house opposite. On Tuesday morning the woman went out early, and a person named Whateley, who lodges in the next room, being up, she gave him a shilling, and requested he would give it to the landlord, as she supposed he was not then up, and to tell him she would pay him the balance of the week's rent on Saturday. On her going out, the landlord (who sleeps in the front parlour) heard her, and asked who it was ? She answered, and told him what had passed between her and Whate ley. She slept there that night, and went out the following morning, without interfering or speaking to any person in the house • on Wednesday sh e brought a pot of porter from the Seven Stars, and went out on Thursday morning with the same reserv edness she had hitherto observed, but did not sincere turn. After the manbrought the porter from the publie house on Monday, he= was not afterwards seen. On Thursday night, a little after 11 o'clock, the land lord not hearing her come in, and apprehending that she might be stripping the room, went out into the hall, and finding a key in a cupboard, which he sus pected was the key of their room, he went up stairs, and applied it to the lock, but he found the proper key was inside; he then forced the door, and horrid to relate, he found the man lying on the bed, laid out, with a cloth pinned under his chin, and covered over with a sheet much marked with blood; the body appeared in a state of complete putrefaction, Ind the face nearly black ; the blood and matter remain or any time the in circumstance um room, stan ee the to smell Al. which had oozed f rom th e mout h, nose, an d ears, made his appeara nce t ru l y h orr ifi c , nor was it pos sible , t who h re o m communicated a n ,nond, an officer, of Spitalfields, wh ) yesterday re lated the facts to Mr. Nenett, at Vi 7 orship-street Police-office, and he despatched Garton, the chief of ticer, with Eagles, to inquire into this mysterious ,flair. In the mean time, Locke, one of the beadles, Drought Dr. Byles, of Crispin-street, to examine the I ody, after which it was locked up in the same room, to await the inquest. Garton proceeded to the house of the landlord, who told him the deceased came there on Saturday, and he had never seen him but once • the wife he had seen twice or thrice, and thought he should know her again. When he entered the room, he round the deceased as described, and the room gripped of a counterpane, quilt, three blankets, a new tea-kettle, with all the deceased's clothes. When the deceased took the lodgings he gave no name or reference, nor was it usual to ask lodgers such ques tions, paying as they do by the night. Mr. Garton.—Then, if they were to pay Bd. by he night, and had been with you since Saturday, and: that you only received 25., is it not singular that 'you lid not sooner look after your money ? Seale.—The woman going Vilt on Thursday morning, assured me she would pay the balance on Saturday, and my uneasiness was more for fear of stripping the room than the risk of the trifle they owed. Mr. Vithately said he lodged in the next room to .he deceased, and understood he was a shoemaker; but did not hear him at work. Indeed, he often re marked to several persons that they were a very 'Met couple, as he never heard them even talking tii" each other. He alsn thought he should know the woman. Halligreen, a lodger in the same howae, said she went to him early on last Tuesday• morning, and rot a light in his room, whey, she gave him a Shilling for the landlord, and requested he would apo logize for her until Saturday for the balance. He also :ieard her go out early on Thursday morning, nor had to the curiosity to ask her name, but was satisfied he should know her again. Dr. Bytes said, that on entering the room the first ,king he looked for was a cup that might contain •ome poison, or any instrument that would take away life; but he saw no appearance of either. The de eased bore all the appearance of having been poi ;oned, as the body was in that state of rapid putre raction as to denote its effect; and he thought the woman remained in the room until the smell became •;o offensive as to drive her away, in the expectation that from the state of putrefaction the cause could not be ascertained. He also promised Mr. Garton that he would in the course .of the evening dissect ` - he head and body. Thomas Allen, a private on furlough, belong ing to one of the East India Company's regiments, on his return from Liverpool to Chatham, was, on Thursday corning, stopped by three men on the road crossing that part of Cannock Chase which lies immediately beyond the village of Milford, near Stafford. The ruffians robbed him. ,f his watch, fifteen shillings in money, and a gold rinpi, to obtain which they had the brutality actually to cut oft; with i knife the poor fellow's finger ! They were warmed by two gentl emen com i ng up, or t h ere i s no kno,;.:in,; to what length th e i r b ar b ar i ty m i g h t h ave gone. •ft,t the tim e th ey attacked and him c thheee cheess oldiere by the was rod side. paartaking %f a temper a t e mea l of bread W LEEDS STUFF vv EA The committee of the operative Stuff-weavera now standing out to oppose t reduction in their wages, in this town, hare published an advertisement in the Leeds Mercury of Saturday, declaring that "direct falsehoods" were promulgated in our last week's paper, respecting the disturbances which took place the week previous. They there state "that the men re turned the webs on their own accord," and that, if a mob took place, as described by us, "it was their opinion the Magistrates would interpose their authority, to bring those to justice who were identified in that mob." In answer to this we have only to say, that a number of those who were " identified," were in custody at the period the Mercury was published, and during the day, they underwent au ex mination before the Mayor, charged with committing the utrage which we mentioned, and which has been denied y the committee in the advertisement above alluded to. After several witnesses had been examined, the result ruts, that Thomas Wheelan, Jeremiah Chokely, John Fitz patrick, James Rudd, Nicholas Burke, Mark Conway, Edward Fitzpatrick, Fenton _Duff, and Charles Wood, (Who is brother to Thomas Wood, the person who signed the advertisement in the Saturday's paper, as president of the committee,) were ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. It appeared, that a great number of the men had proceeded to the houses of the unfortunate objects of their vengeance, immediately after having held a meeting on the Tab Hill. All the prisoners acknowledged to being present when the alleged offence was committed, but denied having had any participation in it. In furtlur proof of the correctness of our paragraph, we may mention, That in another part of the Mercury, was a statement of the occurrence, to the same purport as the one published by us. Notwithstanding this, we are concerned to state that, on the evening of the same day, another violent attack was made upon some of Mr. Green's workmen, whose persons were violently assaulted, and the windows of their houses shamefully broken by the fury of the " turn-outs." These men perhaps are not aware that the expense of repairing the mischief they commit, does not fall upon the industri ous individuals whose property they destroy.—Leeds tilligencir.
