t evolution had inett cotopleteil. We trust they will not be so long in determining the legality of thr present revolution, and drawing suitable inferences from it,--Marning Chronicle. Our correspondent, " 0. P. Q.," gives a spirited picture of the arts resettled to by the agents of tin old Government to diwurb tromptillity. Let us hope that the new Government will soon be abh to cope effectually with the danger from such a gnat ter. 'We yesterday gave a passege from the letter of an English gentleman of distinguished abilit 3 now in P.tris, who enjoys the confidence of some of the first men in Paris He gave by no rem.% a favourable account of the conduct of the intluentiai elastics during the Revolution, and observed, that it hit were to look only at the cowardice and imbe cility f t). the exiting generation of publie men, with scarcely u single exception, he should expect vet') little good ; but whereie considered the spirit rind intelligence of the young men, and of the people, the immense influence of the Journals, and the strength of the public voice, he was encouraged to hope, that an there had been on excellent revolutioe without leaders---leaders would not be required in order to establish it good 'Government. As en in stints? of the cowardice of the Deputies he says:-- ".c The man who is spoken of with the greatest con. leapt is about twenty people to meet at his innate for the portant of planning resistance ; and they were obliged to no et at the office of the Notional. It was only on the Thursday. when the issue of the conflict was no longer doubtful, tine the Deputies met end signed the protestation, which way published in the London Papers : and ----- would no sign it even then, but signed it the following day, whet the conflict was over, and had the meanness to make his newspaper, the ----, declare, that it had omitted his name and several other persons the preceding day." The following letter has since been received from the some Fentlerwm. We have merely omitted the names of individuals referred to as his authorities foi reasons easily understood. It will be seen that the views be takes of the prospects of the French are of the most consolatory kind; and as' he is not a per son to be led away by idle fancies, his judgment is the more valuable:— " Paris, Aug. lb, MO. " I told you in my last letter that nehody here appeared to me sufficiently imprieseed with the importance of lower ing the qualification , : for elector.. TON remark has been confirmed by evi ry thing which I have seen and beard since. But lam cot much surprised. The late revolu Lion appears to hive been altogether improvises! nobody expected it, nor was at all prepared for it ; and us thii Charter had been the rallying point in all the dieputes with the Royaliiits, the reforms which hid been discussed and pointed nut as attainable were chiefly such as t en ded to restore the Conetitution, such as the Charter originally made it. Perhaps this is rather fortunate. The people have been fur the last fifteen years in the position of defenders of ae law against at. t e mpt s to vielate or evade it; end but fur this they might not, perhaps, belle shown the extr -ordinary respect for legal order which has appeared in their late proceedings. Under the present altered circumstance., as all questimie will be dismissed with reference to general expediency, and to conformity with the provisions of a given instru ment, ideas which are only in the beads of a feW perign at present, will spread further, and will produce in a short time a very sensible effect on the general opinion. A good beginning has been made in a recent sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, towards the improvement of the electoral law. A great ninny edam in the Chamber Icing vacant by the resignation of blembers, chiefly Royalists, and the annulling of several elections; and it being neces sary to supply these vecanciee, the Minister of the Interior, Guizot came from the King with a PrOet de Loi, which he announced in this way :—The Electoral Laws which have hitherto existed, nut having been abrogated, still sub. 51st, and must hee:tiered! in filling tip the present vacancies, unless the Chamber should provide otherwise. The perms runt mtablishment of a law of elect:on requires more time and consideration than can he given to it inimediately ;but there is one pare of the existing law,e»vis the double vote —of which the universal opinionhas pronounced en &chiefl a condemnation, that it ought not to be retained even tem. /mildly. The new member«, therefore, are all of them bi be elected by the eollege* of arrondissement, by which re term nothing will he prejudged with respect to such other eleratimee as may be requisite. After the abolition of the double vote, the change to which those with whom have conversed synch meet importance seems to he the lowering, nr the entire abolition, of the pecuniary grafi- Orations for eligibility. At present this qualification' is so high, that nose but very rich men, comparatively speaking, can be elected. Mr. S. thinks, that not only the pecuniary qualification for eligibility will he alio liebed, but the practice of allowing a salary to the Deputies will be introduced, by which means it will lie rendered possible for young men of lettets, and other men of moderate incomes, to accept seats in the Chamber, appears to me to be the only person who at. taches much impottante to increasing the number of electors, But I hear both hem M. P—, and from and that the focal bodies, bah mu .nieipel and del:atmnu!, are by common CASSIA to be elected by a munch more popular suffrage than the Chamber This is of immense importance, be cause the local authorities come into more immediete contact with the people than Any others. and he. canto!, so large it pettien of the patronage of the General Government will he taken away from it, and given to three l o cal bodies, that the Chamber and its eighty. Night thousand elector% will have at its disposal a greatly diminished amount of public money. fit, thi n k. • • that when the patronage is thus reduced, the secrecy of the suffrage, and the compulsory division of property, which prevents the growth of en hereditary Aristocracy, would ensure a good Government, even without any in. rum of the number of voters. Itenveva r, he appears to desire an extension of the suffrage. The degree of ex tension which he says is aunt talked of would be, to lower the qualification from SOO fiance to 100 (ranee of direct tendon, which says would dust doubl e the unlace, but this is mere conjerture. for fomuling the qualification not twee the payment of taxes, but directly on the possession of income of a tam moderate &inmate. 1 find that M. although he has no great confidence in the men who are now at the helm, is not at all duleatinfied that they have dove so little at first.

The Newspapers are 'now criticising the Government with some freedom; though with no asperity, and in the right direction; anal there appears every probability that the )(lug and the Ministry wi:l follow the impulse given by general opinion. One is only sorry that a let of intriyans should personally reap greater Advantageo Moan anybody els from the change of affairs ; but title will continue for some time yet. Those who will take the most pains to get into ?late, have the hest chance of suteeedingy they are sufficiently pliable, awl d o runt offend the priNalent feeling. The beat loan, like Jeffer• son, are not ambitious of office, and no m a titian i s we ll known, and has been well tried, power will nit f a ll futo his hands of itself without his seeking.

We are pleased to see the importance which the people every where tetach to the ballot. In fact, in the present state of this country, it may be said to he of paramount importances. We have every re spect for Mr. 13roug1tam, but his argument against rite ballot struck us as a complete paralogism, Mr. Brougham wishes to see the people give an inde pendent vote ; and if the people were independent, they misht to be sure vote independently. But they •are not iiidependent, and therefore. cannot vote in dependently ; at least the great majority cannot SO vote. Mr Brougham might wish every man to see or to walk ; but a man without eyes and legs could not the more on that account see and walk. He wishes the effect without wishing the cause. The question is, how shall men who are in dependent circumstances be most effectually protected again-t improper influence ? The arguments of Mr. Broteilnim are not calculated to impose on any one who does not clanost' to be imposed on ; but unfor tunately his name is laid hold of by those who wish to perpetuate the system by which a confederate) of the Aristocracy are enabled to plunder the rest of the community. The people ' have ,seen what im mense benefit has resulted from the ballot in France. The French electors were generally in much more independent circumstances than the i?eiglisli electors. In France, lite law of successioir hits everywhere in troduced a greater equality of property than in Etigland, consequently greater independence ; Imo there is not that dread of offending the great, or of exclusion from fashionable or influential circles, which works such disastious effects in England. Yet even in France, without the ballot, the liberties of the country could not have been preserved. The very first measure of the Despot wits the annihilation of the bubo!. The ballot is felt by the Aristocracy to be their greatest enemy. But they cannot oppose argument to its introduction: The dread of being sneered at may have its affect for a time with the cowardice of Parliament ; for few Members of Parliament are proof against a sneer. But with the people this manoeuvre will not succeed; and the etsong conviction out of doors will soon make itself felt withire—Morning Chronicle. The municipal banquet given to General Lafayette by the city of Paris was a peculiarly grand and in teresting spectacle. The scenic display we speak not of ;—where great principles are celebrated pageantry is worthless. '1 he political virtue of u mars who has figured on the stuge of three revolu tions, without staining his fair fame with the crimes of any of them, is deserving all that admit ation with which it appears to have animated the susceptible minds of his countrymen. Next to the interest it - spired by such signal and exalted worth was the circumstance of the banquet being honoured by the presence of u number of those persons who haul re cently abed their blood in defence of the constitu tional rights of the people arid the liberties of their country—man who aovaneed on the bayonets and cannon of the infatuated Deepot, and drove him and his cohorts from the capital, which reeked with carnage of the thousands of has subjects that fell the victims of his criminal ambition! These men had not only fought the battle of France, but they haul contended for the threatened free dom of all maekind in the Therniopylw' of the civi lized world. By the devoted courage of such men the grand experiment of military and . priestly ty ranny failed, or it is impossible to say to what ex tent the argument of force might have been employed in some other countries to destroy any degree of freedom that was found inconvenient to their ata. oitions rulers. It is therefore that all to whom the principles of civil liberty, mid the virtues which spring out of them, are dear, must venerate the conduct of men who freely offered their lives as a tansom for the millions of their fellowscreutures whom a despotic Government had doomed to de grading noel perpetual bondage. Yet, among the Men who were so profuse of their blood in the im mortal 'a three days," we hear of none who had previously been 'loud and vehement teachers of revo• lutionary doctrines. We recollect that, at the ban quet which was given to the patriotic Deputies at Patio s subsequently to the sudden dissolution of the Chambers niter the memorable Addresi 'to the King, not a single sentiment or expression was uttered that was not in perfect accordance with the principles of rational freedom re• cognized by the Charter. The men %sit° overthrew the throne of Chat les X. were reedy to act us became men in the mortal struggle between liberty and despotism when the necessity arose; but they did not; like some of our violent de claimers in this country, contemplate such a neces sity until it arrived, They were content to be hound by the obligations of the Charter, as long us they enjoyed its privileges; but, us soon as the se erilegious hand of a perjured King robbed France of her constitutional existence, they were resolved to sacrifice their lives, or recover the rights which, in the face of the assembled nation, had been de clined inviolable. The family of 13eutboe are fond of appealing to the name of Henry IV. That name will, no doubt, be frequently in the mouths of those justly-banished Princes, whose perjured frauds and broken faith form so degrading a contrast to his tree arid ChiVidroll6 sense of honour. When Henry wait advised to make prisoner the Duke of Savoy, Who bud' incurred his displeasure by the artful manoeuvres which he made use of to retain the Murquisate of Saluces,but who had come to France, relying on the Royal word, what wits his answer? "God forbid I" replied the Monarch, "the ward of a Xing ofFranceit inviolable i" and added, " I have learned from my earliest infancy, from those who first nourished me, Out to keep my faith is much more beneficial than tatty thing which perfidy MS promise." Ought the name of each a King to be polluted by the lips of Charles X.? Henry held the word of u King inviolable; but Charles, has degene rate descereinet, considered the oath of is , King a fiction of Stale, dissoluble as Royal interest or ca price dictated. But Henry's conscience was not in the keeping of Priests and Jesuits, and he could not promise Irmself Paradise in the next world as the reward of perfidy in this! The immediate and ex emplary puniehment which followed the Ex-King's violation of ilia oath will boa - great mortal lesson to those who, hieested with power that places them above the reach of penal law, are apt to forget that there exists it higher tribunal than that of man,WiliCll sometimes, even in this world, visits exalted guilt with the stroke of retributive justice. What 14 COP trust does the conduct of Lafayette present to that of his late Sovereign—the hitter would rather " cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war" in the very heart of his dominions, than give up a particle of lila despotic doctrines—the former, though an avowed Republican, hesitates not to sacrifice his own setni- Meets oat tire altar of his country, and assists in the establishmeet of a Constitutions) Monarchy -thus effording an example of patriotic self-deniul that rivals the noblest instances of uticient virtue. — /Veining Ikrald. The Ex-King of From, it appears, is to be per mitted to land, if be thinks fit—such rat least is said tit have been the decision of the sort of Cabinet courted which was held yesterday. The rest of the Revd party have aheady landed at Cowes, and are said to have Wen much delighted- with the scenery Ramat and on shears Witilki their view. Part of the attendants of the Ex-King immediately set off for London, 'and had en interview yesterday with the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Aberdeen, and the Lord 'Chancellor. The object of the depu tation has not, as may be supposed, been allowed to transpire; but there can be no doubt that it hod reference to the late transactions in France, and was meant to satisfy the mind of the Ex-King as to the recognition, or non-recognition of the new Govern ment by this country. What the answer of the Government was, we have no means of knowing; but. it commit for a moment be supposed that the British Government would dream of taking any step, for the sake of one family, which would compromise or endanger the good underiitanding which has ex isted during the last fifteen yea's between. the two moat powerful and civilized countries in 'Europe, and which, so for as the people are concerned, is growing, in consequence of recent events into a strict friendship. Philip I. is King of the French, dejare„ as well as de facto, us much as William IV. is King of the English. The Crown has been de creed to him, not only by the will of the people over. whom Charles Caper has-ceased to reign, but by legislative assemblies elected and assembled uc• cording to the laws and ordinances of the country; and we are, in consequence, unaware on what other ground the British Government could refuse to re cognize him, except that which would also destroy the right of the reigning family of this country to the throne. The Revolution of 1688 and the Re volution of 1830 are precisely analagous in all im !manta • points ; and if our forefathers hod a right then► so transfer the pos•ession of the throne to another than the legitimate claimant, the people of France must have the mme now.—Morn. Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREM. Yesterday Mr. Thomas, the pollee superitatinlenr, came before Sir RICHARD DIRNIR, accompanied by a country lad, named Tier, to complain of the latter having been defrauded of 51. 9s. by u salesman in Covent-garden-market, and to know what redress he could obtain. It appeared from the lad's statement, thatle came front Potion, in Bedfordshire, a distance of about forty miles, with a load of carrots, which he was in trusted by his father to dispose of. Ile arrived at Coventsgarden-market early on yesterdsy morning, and a salesman in the market, named Edward Lee, agreed to purchase the load ofcarrots fur W. Ds., and at the same time assured the complainant that he should'have the money before ten o'clock that morn ing. The bargain was concluded on these terms, but the complainant, utter waiting until twelve o'clock for the uppearanee of Lee, began to suspect that he was cheated ; and having mentioned his sus picious to a poliee•constable, he was advised to State the circumstance to Mr. Thomas, who brought the matter before the Magistrate. Sir R. Ihmir, observed, that the fraud was one of the most scandalous' description, and Its imme diately directed an officer to bring Lee before him. The prisoner was soon after brought forward by Sergeant M'Sweeney, and in answer to the Ma gistrate he admitted that he had purchased the car rots, and said he was fully bent upon paying for them hut that he was obliged unfort unate l y to make up 71. that morning, which had deprived him of all his ready cash. Sir R. eon tell you that you must make up the lad's money, of which you have at tempted to defraud him, or make up your mind to go to Newgute. Serjeunt - M‘Sweeney bard that the poor lad bad only 6d. in his pocket to curry him a distance of 40 miles, He had never been in London before, and the loss of his money might be attributed to his inexperience. • The prisoner disclaimed any intention of com mitting a fraud, and said he had been a salesman in' Covent-garden-market for 16 years, and wits also a householder in Bart-street. lie was willing to do all in his power to raise porti o n of t h e mone y. Mr. MINSHULL told him he hail better do so, and intimated at the same time that he must remain in custody until the full amount claimed by the lad should be forthcoming. When the office closed, at three o'clock, the prisoner was still in custody. now: Allan, driver of the cabriolet No. 125, appeared to answer to a summons taken out against him fur wilfully damaging the chariot of Thomas Williams, Esq., of Norwood, Surrey. Mr. Williams said the repairs of the carriage had cost him upwards of 31. Sir R. BIRNIE lined the defendant in the suet of 10s. and costs, telling Mr. Williams at the same time to send to the defeuduat's employer fur the amount of the damage, and if ho does not take the hint and pay it, added the Magistrate, we will find some means to compel him to do so. Mr. Williams thanked the Magistrate, observing that he had been ind u c e d t o come f orwar d chiefly on public grounds. The defendant raid the fine,and the parties retired. OMON.OARDEN. Yesterday morning a man of the name of James Timmonds was brought before Mr. Serjeunt SELION,, in custody of Police Serjeant Ashton, of the G di vision, charged on suspicion with having been con cerned in the lute murder of the policeman, John Long. After hearing evidence, the Magistrate dis charged the prisoner. A respectable-looking young man, of the name of Charles Dawson Smith, was afterwards placed at the bar, charged also on suspicion with having been con cerned in the murder.—Discharged. Mr. Busain, one of the police-inspectors cf the Ci division, appeared before the Magistrates, accnin ponied by Nlary Ann Griffiths, otherwise Stevens, one of the principal witnesses against the maii, Smith, who was committed from this office on Tues.; day to the New Prison, Clerlienwell, for re-examina, tion, charged with the murder of the policeman, and, stated, that since she had given her evidence at this office, she had thrown herself entirely under the pro. tection of the police, and fearful of being seen and recognized in the streets, she continued at the police station, not daring to return to her lodging., or even to stir out either by day or by night without, some of the police constables' to rtccomp my her, lest she should be attacked and perhaps assassinated by some one of Conk's murderers or their friends. She was consequently in a state of considerable trepid at i on and ularm,and was most anxi o us that th e M ag i strates would take into their consideration h er c i rcumstances , and provide for her some place of ref uge unt i l the trial of the accused party. Mr. LAM; said that the best way to make such provision for her would be to send her to the 'nl ro limy of the House of Correction. The chief clerk, Mr. Mallet, asked if he should bind over the witness as considering the prisoner fully, committed ?—Mr. Setjeant SMON did not consider the prisoner as committed at all for trial, as no evidence hull yet been taken against him at this office. Mr. Ma!lett ahaerred that in such ease the witness could not be committed. Mr. LAING observed that if she could not find securities for her appearance at the trial, the Magis. trates bad the power of committing her. The witness was asked if she could find securities for her appearance, and she replied in the negative, but she expressed a wish to be committed to the House of Correction for her own safety, until the ensuing sessions_ commenced. Mr. LAING asked her where was her par6h set dement, and whether she had ever gained any such settlement in London.—The witness was horn in Glamorganshire, and lived about ten years ago in the parish of St. Pancras, where she occupied a house, and paid rent and taxes for it daring the space of four years and a half. She was now a widow, she said, and ever since the death of her h us b an d she had been reduced to the necessity of living a life of prostitution, of which she heattily repented, and wished for nothing more anxiously than to reform her life and habits. Mr. LAIN( told her that by being committed to the House of Correction, she would come waiter the notice of the visiting Magistrates, and it was very !nobble that something handsome would be done for her. She would, besides, have every attention paid to her, and would not be considered in the light of a criminal. Mr. Sergeant SELLON said, that it was necessary, for the sake of public justice, to commit her, and that every attention should be paid to her comforts, consistent with her safe custody. Mr. LAING ordered that Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the .House of Correction, should be stint for, and that gentleman shortly afterwards en tered the office, wlt n the Magistrates told him to take the witness into the infirmary, and to pay every attention to her consistent with the prison regulations and her own security. Mr. Chesterton engaged to do so, end adJed durt the visiting Magistrates were then sitting, and he would ley before them the cir cumstances under which the witness was placed, tenl her anxious desire that something might be eventually done for her to rescue her from the course of life she had hitherto pursued. The wi.ness wept bitterly, and, expressing her gratitude to the MagiArates, she withdrew in the custody of the inspector. Two men, accompanied by police-constable Joh►► NeWton, tippled to the Magistrates for an order to the House of Correction, to see the p►isoner Smith, alleging that if they recognized .him to .be the same person they supposed him to be, they could give such information us would lead directly to the appre hension of another of the murderers, whom the we ness Mary Anne Stevens described as having been dressed in blue at the time of the murder, and marked with a scar on the left cheek. The Magistrates granted the order, and desired Mr. John Titterton, inspector of E division, to ac company the men to the prison. Mr. Titterton did so; but when he returned he informed the Magistrates that neither of the men could recogniie the prisoner. Mrs. Stevens, who describes herself as living at No. 1, Gray's-inn-lane, we are informed, never re sided there. UNION.HALL Yesterday, a man named Dando, who has been frequently at the bar of this office, to answer com plaints made against him by tavern, eating-house, and coliee-shop-keepers, for dinners and other re freshments furnished him, which he afterwards re fused to pay for, was brought up again on a similar charge. The prisoner was convicted some time ago and committed to Brixton : while in gaol the keeper was obliged to place him in solitary confinement, in consequence of his having robbed some of his fe!. low-prismier of their allowance of bread and beef ; inlfact, so ravenous was his appetite while in prison, that nothing in the shape of food, belong to whom it might, could be left within his reach, that he did not devour, until it was at length found necessary to separate him from those whom he deprived of their vice The Magistrate, on seeing the prisoner, exclaitned, " I suppose you are brought here again for gorman dizing, and not paying for it ?" Prisoner—l bad a few oysters, it is true, your Worship. Here a man named Mason, who keeps an oyster stall, stepped forward, and said that Dando walked up to the stall thst morning and desired him to open a few oysters, and asked for a slice of bread and a pat of butter. He commenced eating, and ',ever stopped until he devoured 11 dozen of the largest sized oysters, together with half a quarters loaf and I I pats of butter, and at the conclusion of the meal he put his hand into his pocket, and pretending to examine for money, merely said, " Really, Mr. Oysterman, I have no cash about me ; I must pay you the next time I pass this way." He was walk ing off, with his hands in his breeches-pocket and whisthog a merry tune, when the oy/sternum stopped him and said, " But atop, Sir, you are not going off so easily after eating toy II dozen of oysters and half a quarter's loaf, without paying," adding, that he could not expect such a thing. " lint, my good fellow," answered the prisoner, " what am Ito do, if I have not got the money? As the saying is, you can't draw blood from a stone, and where is the use in detaining me and preventing me from going about 'my business ?" The oysterman then expressed his determination of giving , him into custody, upon which Dando made a vigorous effort to get away, and would have succeeded, had not a policemen very opportunely come up at the time, into whose charge he was given. Magistrate—lmprisonment seems to have very little effect upon this fellow, who makes a practice of going about devouring at the expense of persons who can ill afford it. " What have you to say to the charge?" inquired the Magistrate. !Ludo— Nothing, Sir, but that I was very hungry, having walked up the whole way from Guildford, and had nothing to eat on the road except a little bread and cheese and beer, which I purchased with the shil ling that was given to me on leaving the gaol. It was here stated that the prisoner had been committed to the above-mentioned gaol as a rogue and vagabond, having been taken to a police-ollice on a charge of the above nature, the Magistrate con victing him under the Act applicable to that offence. Mr. Staples said, that the last time he was brought to that office was on a charge of going into it coffee-shop, and eating and drinking at one meal as much as atnountid to Wetween aa. and Os. The oysterman said, that had the prisoner been at all moderato in his appetite, and eaten u few dozen of oysters instead of nearly two pecks, he should have been disposed to let him go away with out payment; but when a man came to his stall and punished such a quantity, the offence could not be overlooked. Dando said, that after his imprisonment his ap petite was more keen than ever, and that he could not resist the temptation of having a few oysters in passing the complainant's stall, although he had no Money , to pay for the. treat. " I must have vic tuals," said he; " its all nonsense, and if I have not got the money, why those must suffer who have. Then:, is one thing," added he, " and that is, no man can charge me with being either a robber or a house-breaker. I am here at your mercy, and prepared to undergo the punishment that awaits me, whatever it may be ; but I again say, that I must satisfy my hunger." Mr. SIYABEY said that the oysterman would have been justified in taking the coat off the prisoner' s back for not paying the amount of the oysters he had eaten. 114, however, he had not been deprived of his clothes, he might basummoned to the Court of Bequests. The oysterman said, that summoning such a fel low would be of no use, and as for depriving him of his coat, or even the whole of the garments he .wore, including shirt" , and ally tlie lot would not fetch a shilling.

SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—CARLISLE, Auu. The-Assizes commenced here yesterday before the Lnrd Chief Justice of the Common Pleat and Mr. Justice Rlley. The calendar contains the names of six prisoners only, of which the Grand Jury ignored one bill,—that of a man who had mu, liciou-ly stabbed his wife, but she could nor be in, duce(' to give such evidence before the grand inquest as to enable them to return a true bill. The other five cases were of a' petty and ordinal)/ desaiptien, and the calendar *as finished this morning by one o'clock. John Litre .was indicted for having, on the night of the lath of June last, burglariously entered the house of James Gilkerson, and stolen therefrom sundry rings and handkerchiefs. Another count charged the prisoner with having put the prosecu tor wife in such a state of bodily fear, as to Nina him within the statute expressly made against such offences,---59 Geo. 111. Ann Gilkerson, the wife, Willi called, and deposed, that on the night in question, she had sent her hug• band to bed before her, about twelve o'clock, and being undressed, was about to join him there, when she had °cession to go into an adjacent room for Something; she perceived a drawer, which at seven o'clock she had left locked, to be open mid rum lunged. This excited some suspicions, ►tnd going again into her bed-room, she saw a shadow of some thing under the bed, which struck her as unusual. Taking the candle, she looked under she lied, sAw there the prisoner, who WWI lying quie . ly on his belly. She instantaneouhly set up a continuo u s scream, which waked her husband, and sent the pt.:- seller slinking clown the stairs into the kitchen. On proceeding in force to the kitchen, he was found there as described. Her husband end she were " spirit merchants,"--anglieised a la Tenterden, " kept a gin-shop." This evident e being corroborated by the husband, and some of the pollee, who were called in to,take up the prisoner, The Jury found the pi isoner Guilty on every count, and judgment of death was recorded against him, THE KING V. WILLIAMSON. Mr. BwouGuesi, for the prosecution, stated that this was an indictment against the defendant, for having committed an assault upon the Rev. Mr. Plaskett, the clergyman of the village in which he lived, a place called Ireby, in this county. Tee parties had lived for some years in the same village On terms of intimacy ; but recently ill blood had arisen between them, and circumstances aggravated this feeling until it terminated in the assault which formed the subject of the present indictment. The origin of the dispute between the parties was the refusal of one to allow the other to sport over his grounds. The immediate history of the assault was this :—One . day they had met accidentally at the house of a mutual friend, when, the parson asked Williamson if he had not some heavy mortgages on his property, to which question Williamson replied by inflicting a heavy blow on the Rev. Gentleman's occipital process. Mr. AGLIONBY, for the defendant, urged, on his behalf, that the prosecution was altogether founded hi wanton malice and vexation. The Learned Counsel was here interrupted in his address by some noise and bustle which occurred near him. fist was perceived raised above the level of a row of heads which belonged to some attoruies, who, like the pragmatici of the Roman forum, were ranged behind their respective pleaders; and gathering ve locity in its descent, alighted with much force and equal noise on the head of one of these unlucky lawyer.: the noise was echoed back by something very like a round oath, and the unhappy *wines , retreated from before hkassailant, mul took refuge under the shelter of Mr. Brougham's wig and gown. The Learned Counsel rose immediately, and di. rected the attention of the Court to the offender ,(Williarnion), who, well satisfied with having given so severe a punishment to one of the enemy, exhi bited the marks of self-complacency in his counte nance. The Court was in a state of considerable astonishment, and at length, on Mr. Brougham's .stating the offence to his Lordship, Mr. Justice BOLE; looking to the nature of the punishment which is estailed on such offences, suggested to the Learned Coun el to prefer an affidavit of the filer. Some conversation ensued amongst the Counsel ; and as the consequence to the defendant would have been serious—the punishment for striking before the King, or before the Court, where he is supposed to be in person, being loss of the limb---the Learned Counsel (Mr. Brougham) declined taking any steps i n the matter at present, but deferred it until after the indictment was decided upon. A blOw, how ever, came just in time to afford a practical proof of the sweetness, quietness, and meekness of the de fendant's temper, which biit Counsel was at the mo ment expatiating upon in a high strain of eloquence. The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and he even then turned a deaf ear to what might have been deemed a suggestion by the Learned Judge to offer some apology for his violence. COMMISSION 01 7 7.UNAC Y. (Continued from yesterds).) Mr. Paynter, Trinity College, Cambridge, was examined at great length by Mr. Brand as to the nature of the mortgages of his property. Witness, in answer to questions from Mr. Brand, said he never recollected a pretty Servant maid at Camberwell to ►which he (Mr. Brand) alluded s neither did he know of one in Princes-street. Had never declared that Mr. Brand hail spent 45,000/. in his life. Had stated that his income was between 2,0004 and .3,0001. a year. 'Witness believed that Mr. Brand did not care for his child, because he thought it was not his. By Mr. Sergennt TADDY—Witness considered Mr. Brand had, during his life, been subject to strong mental excitement. By - the CHIEF CbstsussloNErt—Frotn witness's own observation, he should say that from May, or the latter end of April, Mr. Brand was not of sound mind. He considered the extrEvaguncies of Mr. Brand to have arisen from a disordered mind. The enuci CONHISSIONER—You have heard and seen Mr. Brand to.day ; do yon think he is now in sound mind ? Witness—Judging from his previous manners, I should think he was of unsound mind. _ _ By Ale. rejection Of me as a friend, without any cause or quarrel, ledrne to this conclusion. Mr. Marshant, solicitor, was then called in, and examined by Mr. Serjeant kIIOWILMT. Brand tea years. - -Mr. Brand - called on him some time in May, and asked him if he did not recollect some particulars of an altercation he (Mr. B.) had had with a French officer at Bordeaux. Mr. Brand hoped be would recollect the transaction as his ho nour was conc erne d. H e w i s h ed also that witness would recollect the conversation he said witness had had with the Duke of Wellington, when his 'Grace had said, calling him (witness) by hi s Ch r i st i an name, " Dennis, i t is all nonsense; Brand has be haved very well." Witne s s denied ever having had any conversation with the Duke upon the subject, or that he knew his Grace, or ever dined with him. Nit. Brand went on to compare the pictures in Suf folk -street Gallery with the women with whom he (Mr. B.) had been connected. Mr. Brand pressed witness to go and see them, and witness promised to do so, wishing to get Mr. Brand out of the house, not feeling very comfortable hr his presence. Air. Brand spoke of a conspiracy against himself, and could not account how those pictures got into the gallery; he said it was done to expose him. The instant Mr. Brand left the room he had written to a mutual friend, expressive of his feeling that Mr. B. was insane. In answer to a question, witness declared tha he had never said he knew the Duke of Wellington or that he had dined with him. ner. By the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.-qhe impresaion on witness's mind was (if he was sober at the time) that Mr. Brand was of unsound mind. It was a se dons thing to give an opinion upon the atatent„Anp, man's mind. By Mr. Brand—Witness did receive a 1301160 4 from Government. He was a son of General Le Marshanr, who was in the army, and was killed at Salamanca. His father was intimate with.the Duke of Wellington; but he had no acquaintance with hit Griee. Mr. Barnard, a member of the Marylebone Cricket Club, was examined as to some extraordi nary expressions made use of by Mr. Brand on the ground. Witness stated that Mr. B. had, without provocadon, called the lion curable Secretary of the Club u thief, alias a enward,,:or a a--; and that he wa. , ready to fight with pistols across the table with the Secretary.
