Mr. WHATULEY (Counsel) addressed the Court, re questing that if Mr. St. John Long should surrender himself in the course of this day, that they would allow his t ial to take place on Monday next. As the King's Attorney-General would conduct the case for the prose.. anion; it was very desirable that a day should be fixed, as he (Mr. Whateley) had been informed it was the in tention of Mr. Si. John Long to surrender himself today. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS begged to observe that he thought it was doubtful whether Mr. St. John Long would surrender so early as the Learned Counsel seemed to think, for there were circumstances which he could not explain in public over which Mr. St., John Long had no controul, which he (Mr. Phillips) thought would render it impossible for him to surrender to-day. Mr. WriATEr.sx said he had received a letter, stating that mi. St. John Long was prePired to surrender. • The r eounT informed 'Mr . . Whateley thit as Mr. Si. John Long was not in custody they had no power to inter ; but if the party should surrender, Concise' were si liberty to renew the application, and the Court would then take it into their consideration. The conversation then dropped. John Woodfield, aged 40, was indicted , for stealing from the dwelling house of Benjamin Barns Williams, Esq., a,clock, value Si., the property of Charles: Michael Sole, Esq.; a cloak, value 71., the property of Richard Spumy, Esq., and a hat, Clue Se., the property tit:Joseph Hemet.

Thomas Davis, a person who on a previous occasion made his appearance in this Court to answer a charge of petty larceny, was convicted of stealing two valuable brushes from the shop of Mr. Tyler, of Tyler's.court, Marlborough-street. The Learned Junax observed, that from the habits of life lately pursued by the priioner, if would be a mercy to hieriltetratisport him from bia 'native country. James While, aged t 3 years, an expert " prig," was convicted of stealing a snuff-box:from the person of Mr. J. Henry. When. apprehended, no Icas thsn ten silk and cotton pocket-hantiltellvhiels were finind upon the prisoner. 'flie COURT sentepeed the prisoner to be transported for the term of his natural life. RYE, The military force which has been stationed in this place for the last month, under the command of Lieutenant Thules, left this morning fur Battle, and we had another detachment of the same regiment, '7lll Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captaiti Curteis, which arrived on the same day, and was billeted in the usual manner by, the High Constable ; but Captain Curteis appeared to have some degree of uneasiness about this, consequently !resew the Mayor, who, by tbtby, is a private friend of his, and a mandate was isswil that they shoild only be quartered on. four iedividuals.- The four individuals selected by this wOrthy Mayor were those who; were: opposed in politics to his hrother, the Reverend Boroughinongering Patron, and such innkeepers as were the supporters of him , in his oppression to the inhabitants of the town were exempted front having soldiers quartered upon them. The four inn keepers that had the whole of the troop quartered upon them, waited upon Captain 'Corte* and remonstrated with him, stating the injustice as well as the hardness of their case. The landlords stated, that' unless they had a regular billet from the constable, who was then with them, that they would not take the men into their houses ; but this bold .and fearless Captain said, that if any landlord mo lested, or at all interrupted any of his men, he would im mediately order the men to load, charge, and fire upon them. Surely a Government that stands pledged to Reform in all its branches, would never suffer such abuses as these to continue, were they represented to the proper autho rities. _ _ The military being stationed here is altogether unneces sary, as there bag not been any riot or even disturbance of the slightest nature ; but it appears that those whose duty it is to keep others from breaking the peace, are the first to hold out threats and abuse the inhabitants, and that in a town that is perfectly tranquil. During the time that the soldiers were at, Rye, there has been more of them in the gaol than there has beep pl. together othetpepple for upward,' of three years. Yours, &c. &c. A CONSTANT READER.

In proportion es a nation is int moPti its Government must find will be despotic." HOME OFFICE. The following very proper and well-timed notification has just been issued from the Route Secretary's Office (CIRCULAR. Whitehall, Dec"l', SIR,—I am commanded by his Majesty wit* .no time in t. acquainting you that it has been observed:Witls_great re qret that the 'Justices of Peace and others have in many instances, under the influence of threat. and intimidation, .tad the apprehension of. violence and outrage, advised the establishment of an uniform rate of wages to be paid for ibour in their respective neighbourhoods, and have also, from the same motives, in many instances recomuteeded the discontinuance of the employment of machines used for threshing out corn and fur other purposes. Reason and experience concur in proving that a cotnpli_ ance with deinands so unreasonable in themselves, and urged in such a manner, can only lead, and probably within a very short period of time, to the most disastrous results; and that the tranquillity whickis obtained by concessions grounded upon principles so erroneous is likely to be , of very transient duration. The Justices of Peace must be aware that they are invested with no general legal authority to settle the amount of the wages of labour; and any interference in such a matter can only have the effect of exciting expec tations which must be disappointed, and of ultimately pro ducing, in an aggravated degree, a renewed spirit of dis. content and insubordination. Upon the second point 'it is only necessary to observe that these machines are as much entitled to the protection of the law as any other description of property, and, that the course which has been taken of prescribing or recom mending the discontinuance of them is, in fact, to connive at, or rather to assist in the establishment of a tyranny of the most oppressive character. His Majesty's Government are fully sensible that allow ance is to be made for the new and difficult circumstances in which Magistrates have been placed, by the recent dis- Mrbauces which have occurred in various parts of the kingdom; but under ne difficulty, nor in any extremity, ought principles so contrary to the general interests of the community, And en Injurious more especially to the welfare of those who have been deluded into the commission of these offences, to be recognized, still less to he sanctioned by persons in authority, whose duty it is at all hazards to maintain the authority of the law, and to secure the liberty of the subject. Ilis Majesty's Government feel deeply for the sufferings and privations which have of late years pressed, and still continue to press severely, upon the labouring classes of the community. They are anxious to adopt, as speedily as possible, every practicable and reasonable measure for their alleviation ; but they are also entirely convinced that these sufferings will only be, increased and protracted by a course of concession to violence and tumult. It is my duty, therefore, to recommend in the strongest manner, that, for the future, all Justices of Peace and other Magistrates will oppose a • firm resistance to all de-' Mande of the nature above described, more especially when accompanied with violence and menace; and that they will deem it their duty to maintai n an d up h o ld t h e right s of property of every description against violence and aggres sion. I have the honour to be, sir, • Your obedient servant, MELBOURNE. TIIE DUKE OF WELLINGTON BURNT AT SHEFFIELD. . , (FROM OUR SIIEFFIEDD COREESPOIIDEND.) SHEFFIELD, DEC, 7. , • A angular and rather unexpected ebullition of feeling was shown here toLday, at one o'clock, against - his Grace the Duke of Wellington by the burning of a beautiful silk flag, with his Grace on horseback emblazoned On it, which originally cost twenty-one guineas ! The exhibition took 'dime on a large manure heap, in the middle of a vacant piece of ground at the bottom of Artindeloitreet, amidst the shouts, yells, (mil execrations of an immense crowd of men, women, and children ; although many were evidently ignorant of the cause, by their crying " What a shame to burn such a fine flag !" while others shouted " We would burn him too, if we had him here !" The party imine diately after the conflagration retired. We made inquiry on the spot, 'from whence they came and their object. Soon after the ever-memorable battle of Waterloo a Society, bearing the designation of the .Wellington Friendly Society, was established in honour of the Hero of that great ,event, many of the members of which were his Grace's companions on that slay. Since the Duke, how• ever, declared against " Reform," there bee been consi derable excitement amongst his former admirers, and, after a lengthened distiession at their last meeting, it was resolved to burn the flag, and re-baptise the club—which we believe is henceforth to he known by the Grey 1 Friendly Society, in acknowledgement of the lib e ral prin. 1 ciples on which the Noble Premier promises to conduct the affairs of this country. REk'ORAI PETITIONS. • The signing of,the petitions in favosof Reform are going on most prosperously, there beingrir evening already three thousand names attached, amongst whom we were glad to observe three of our worthy Magistrates-.. Hugh Parker, .141111.1 i Rinsington, and NV. Dagshawe, Esquires, beiitles the princip d merchants, manufactnrers, and shop keepers. indeed all admit the paramount necessity of Reform—all other projects are " shadowi vain," and Reform is the only measure by which the horrors of despotism can be averted, and the condition of the people ameliorated. ANNUALS FOR 1831. THE AMULET. This little graceful publication deservedly ranks high among the, fraternity of Annuals; So fur as number, variety, and elegance of embellishments can make a work impalar, it peed fear no competition.

With regard to the literary .dePart ment, Which is more immediately, we understand, .under Mr. Hall's superintendence, it is worthy of his acknowledgeds,thet,as a diligent and pains-taking editor. The prose, however, for the moat part is better than the poet'y, which, with the exception of some . stanzas by Mr. Kennedy, is father below par than otherwise. ~ LITERATURE. A HISTORY OF THE. FRENCH RENrOLUTION. .I..osvort, 1830. We have here a history of the first French re» volution, commencing with its out-break in 1787, and concluding with the year 1802, when Buono parte had obtained the Consulate for life. A work of this nature is much wanted at the present time when revolutions are so much in fashion, more par ticularly as we know of no authentic history which details the reign, progress, and termination of one of the most memorable events the world ever wit nessed. The present narrative is simply and natu rally written; the details respecting Mirabeau, an extraordinary, though an tmprincipled Statesman, whose whole life was one protracted fever, are cot.. rest, though brief ; and the anecdotes respecting Lafayette, then in the full vigour of manhood, will be perused with deep interest.

"And we humbly be to assure your Majesty, that, notwithstand ing they have long endured, and still labour under, the greatest privations and distress, yet they have never deViated in their loyalty and attachment to your'Majesty's Illuatrious House, and are bold to declare they are loyal to a man and as children look up with confident* to their father for protection, so do we look up with confidence to your Most Gracious Majesty, who is the father of his people; and we are sure that your Majesty will di rect inquiry to be made into the causes of the distress, in order to an amelioration. • . " And we humbly pray that your Majesty will not long delay your most gracious visit to your good, loyal, and faithful citizens of London, and give them the proud opportunity of testifying their loyalty and attachment, and of evincing to your Majesty and the whole world that you indeed live la the hearts of your people. "And now, may the God °four fathers bless your Majesty; and may you and your illustrious Consort be long, very long spared to reign over a truly loyal and free peopl e ,.

We believe, among seven of Lord Grey's relations and connections, himself included, that, in truth, a yearly sum of between 10,0001. and 19,0001. is to be distributed; but it appears that between the relations of the ,aost economical Mini ster of present times ► there has been divided annually no less a punt than 55,047/.

It will be instructive, And must at the same time. be gra. tifying to our readers, if .we place in brief juxtaposition the acts of the late arid present Ministry. Never perhaps, did a Government rush forward to its own destruction so blindly as the. Wellington Administra tion. Without going beck to the last Session, when the financial measurer of their accomplished Chief of the Ex chequer covered it with confusion and contempt as inc. deemable as the hatred which ensued upon its previous apostasy and persecution of the Press, let us see what they did in the short space of time that intervened between the opening of the present Session and their own expulsion from power. . First, we have the Bpeeeh which they ventured to pot into the King's mouth, taking part with the despotic Rulers of the continent against their subjects struggling for freedfim ; and in its pledges for Retrenchment so in. geniously worded as to deceive the country into an expec'- talon of that which, as the Minister& subsequently de elated, they never intended to perform. Fiecondly, we hsve the notable mare's-neat of a city plot, involving the King in the unpopularity of his 'Go. vernmenty and spreading through the remote provinces of the empire, as well as among foreign nations, an idea of general disaffection towards the King, which it is well for England that a change of her Ministers, quickly following, has effitetuelly dispelled. Thirdly, came the notable developerarnt of the Civil List, and consequent thereon, the tacit avowal that ell protnises of Ministerial economy were to ht► kept only to the car, but to be really falsified to the hopes of the people.. These three things are mightiest Far the present. Is it to he wondered that the Ministry should have crumbled into dtist Wore the breath of public opinion ? But let us now see what the present .Ministry have dopes in the brief time that has passed since their seen. *ion to Once.

" The Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the Borough of Reading, in the County of Iter • anotvOit,,-. mil 4 Alt your petitioners have observed with sincere pleasure the introduction, of, a Bill in the Upper douse of Parliament to establish local courts, for the. het. ter and more speedy administration of justice throughout he country. 4 The law's delays' have hing been verhisl ; but the dilliculty and vexation nod expence of procuring justice haie at last become so intolerable, that what was intended to be a remedy' and a be is in very many instances considered an evil end a nuktnee ; for a large proportion of the community would rather sub mit to, be wronged and defrauded than seek redress in the tedious, tortuous, and, in many instances, ruinous pro cesses of low. Of alt existing abuses, none call more loudly for speedy and effectual refOrm thin those which have grown up with, or crept into, our legal system, or law practice, which ought not to shelter dishonesty, or ilerat the ends of justice, but ,to he a terror to evil-doers, and the praise and protection of them that do well. " Your petitioners therefore bail a meaSure,of law re form, emanating from the luminous and Cennirensive mind of a member of the legal profession, itieldy distingitish e d both in the Senate and in the Forum, a n d to the British Legislature by the Lied High Chancellor of Roe: - land, and in a strain of powerful, eloquence, convincing reasoning, and impressive wisdom, , which reminded your petitioners of his illustrious predecessor, who eliforeell needful alteration by pronouncing Time the greatest of all innovators.' There are many things in the proceedings, of the judicature of the country, which require to be cow, sidered with the view of removing them, and Of establish ing in their stead a cheaper, a shorter, au easier, a more convenient, and a less vexatious mode of acquiring it re medy for wrongs, and of prosecuting rights. What your petitioner* want and love it cheap jus , ire. What the.. hate and deprecate is expensive, and tardy, and tthe erta i n litigation. Your petitioners conclude by humbly entreating that the Bill for establishing Courts of Local Jurisdiction may receive the sanction of your Bon. !louse, and that it he as speedily as possible passed into a law. " Reading, Ike. 7." The petition has been signed by Mr. Monrk and several other gentlemen in the neighborhood. STATE OF TUE CO6 - 14 - TRY. (From a Correspondent of the liforiiing . Cl aro a c k DRC. 7.—On my journey through Hants, 'whence I re turned this morning, I heard several statements which I communicate to you. A hay-stack, the property of Mr. Lyllywhite, of Exton, which waS iontredi wee last week set on tiri—the incen diary suprpoeed a stranger. No account of this has ap peared in any paper- Exton is on th e Gospisrt-road, 14 ruil c i brio* Altutt. iHr. L. is very much revel:Nil by his - neighbours. In a palish between Winchester and Andover, s mob of labourers, from No to *OO its number, went to the parieh chtirch during morning service, made the Minister desist in the middle of service and accompany them into - the church-yard, when they insisted on his lowering his tithes. On his presenting them with V/. and promisiog to take their application into consideration, they departed quietly to their homes. This occurred on Sunday week. At Bishop's Waltham, the Itlegittratos of that part of Hants, were engaged hearing wore of machine breaking. A gentlemen of that place told use some of the mew eons misted were of the hest sort of farmers' labourers, and bore the best of characters, but they had been pressed by others and forced to join in the work of destruction, l'wo very respectable farmers are out on bail, for having been among those who persuaded the working men to a rta of violence.. A meeting was Axed fur Saturday, id Andover, of owners and occupiers of land, about the farmers conti nuing to pay the advanced price; which the latter mean to decline , unless land and tithe-holders lower rents and tithes. A meeting took place et Da 4 44o* OA Faith% of the influential gentlemen of that neighbourhood, farmers, tiaders, &c., for the purpose of taking into cuasideration the assembling the yeomanry. Tilt whole of the ferule; at and others declined, observing that the only Means of af fording protection to property mid person was to lower rent., tithes, and Way and refdrin the Itepresentetlon: At a plue vary. neer Audovin, a mob of labourer,. r , few days einee,-went to the house of a farmer, Malty the whole family quit the house and go to a dietent that to remain during the pleasure of the mob. They team belied, in the iuterim, the whole of the furniture, draok the beer, &c., and committed other improprieties. People throughout the country are thing in great and one and all agree that the laboureis have been used, and unquestituisibly they are much pitied. In many in stencil, the very best sort of labouring men have been pressed to accumpeny others, and join in acts of violence. against their inclination. The Provincial Preto, through dread. 1 summons, of the Vnpaid, or'to gratify them, pmerve silence on moat of these trensactiens. The labourers are, in troth, much to b e pitied—they are a poor, deluded, ill-used' set ofmen, whose patience and long-continued privations have only Added to the disposition to trample on them. Men in Bower ought to reflect on these things. On Friday evening the 3d of December, about seven o'clock, tctiro broke cut at Olney, Bucks, which destroyed a cow house and two cottages, adjoining the Hack -street in that place. One of the cottage.. was inhabited by Thomas Bays, a respectable old men, 81 years of age. His wife, about 70, and needy blind, was Saved, with some difficulty, through the exertions of one or two gets. denten who were present sous after the alarm ad tire,wea given. The row of buildings stood at right angles, against the back part of the street. The house in the street, against which the last cottage stood, happened to be tiled.; otherwise the tire would probably have extended further. The fire commenced at the cow-house, and h generally supposed to have been effected by an incendiary. Oxronn, Dee: fl.----Last night, on inquiry, It appoitrit that a fire broke out in the barn of a man residing at Cannier, about four miles from Oxford, which destroyed about eight quarter* of barley end as many beaus, together with the barn and an adjoining stable. It is thought that this is an act of private and individual malignity io re. wage for some void or fancied wrong. At a meeting of the joint 'Vestry of St. Giles and St. George, Itooinshury, held last week, a reatilutito wail moved and seconded, that it petition he, presented to the Hume of Commons ter the repeal of the Hau l s Mid Window Tax t • but the Mathis was Ultimately withdriwn from a conviction that Ma Majesty's present Ministers will certainly relieve the country kern a tai which bears so heavily on trade and the middle classes in society.
