THE COURT JOURNAL EN LARGED, WITHOUT INCREASE of PRICE. The great and increasing success of the COURT JOURNAL has induced the Proprietor to spare no expense in meeting the many new claims which the existence of -the New Court has put forth, on the space and attention of the Journal. Accordingly, new arrangements have been made, by which, in the first place, the reader will gain two entire pages of additional original matter in each *mber ; and in the second place, new and exclusive sources of information have been opened and secured in connection with Court and Fashionable Life, and new Bpd sure means have been adopted for obtaining early po litical information of a kind and character inaccessible to any other weekly Journal. The Proprietor solicits public attention to the early Numbers of the new year, in which the results of these new accessions will be amply and un eqtrivocally apparent. N.R. The first Number for 1831 will contain among other articles of peculiar interest, a Second Part of The Garland of Hearty,—a paper which in the publication of the First Part excited so much attention as to call for the reprinting three several times of the Number in which it appeared. The Court Journal is published every Saturday morning, and sent by the Newsmen free of postage to all arts of the Kingdom. Office, 19, Catherine-street, Strandp. TH UNITED Sl4 aVICE JOURNAL The distinguished favour with which this Periodical has bees received since its commencement, not only by the two Services to which it is more immediately ad dressed, but by the public in general, is not a little grati fying to the Proprietors, inasmuch as they consider it a Proof that the execution of the work has met with general approbation.

The Washington National Intelligenter has published a list of the different countries with which the United States of America are, under treaty, on a commercial foot ing of perfect reciprocity. According. to this list, Ame rican vessels and their cargoes are admitted on the same terms as national vessels into the ports of Great Britain, by treaty of the 3d July, 1815, continued in 1818 and 1827 ; of Central America, sth of December, 1815 ; of Denmark, 26th of April, 1826 ; of Sweden and Norway, 4th of July, 1827; of the Hanseatic Towns, 26th of De cember, 1827; of Prussia, Ist of May, 1828 ; of Brazil, 12th of December, 1828. By an act of Congress of the 7th of January, 1824, discriminating duties of tonnage and imports are suspended in the ports of the United States, as respect the vessels of Russia, the Netherlands, and Sardinia. This suspension is to continue as long as a similar exemption shall he al lowed to vessels of the United States in the ports of those nations. The vessels of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, of Austria, Hanover, and the Papal States, are admitted into the ports of the United States upon the same footing with national vessels, by virtue of proclamations issued by the. President in 1830, 1829, 1828, and 1827, under the authority vested in him by the act of Congress, upon his receiving satisfactory evidence that the same exemption is allowed to the vessels of the United States in the ports of those nations. It does not, however, follow, from the above statement, that American vessels have a perfect freedom of trade with the countries named. With a part of them there is a full and entire reciprocity and equality, the coasting trade always excepted; with the others, there is a limited equality. In these are included Great Britain, Ilanover. Russia, Sardinia, the Netherlands, and the do►ninions of the Pope. American vessels must proceed direct from the ports of the United States to the territories of those nations i►t Europe, and be laden with the produce and manufacture of the United States only, to be admitted at the same rates of impost duties as the vessels of those countries, which vessels are under the same restrictions when entering the ports of the United States. American ;easels, from whatever country they may pro. met!, and with whatever cargo they may be ' laden, are admitted into the porta of Denmark, Prussia, Sweden, Norway, Hamburg, Bremen, Lubec, Oldenburg, Austria, Central America, and Brazil, on the payment of the same tonnage-money and import duties as are paid on the vessels of those countries respectively, which vessels enjoy a like privilege in the porta 9f the United States. SPECIAL COMMISSION. READING, WEDNESDAY', DEC. t 29. Thomas Hicks, Edward Harris, William Hawkins, Daniel Hancock, John Naylor ' George Arlett, J o h n Nash, George Williams, Thomas Brown, Luke Brown, John Cook, Charles Vince, James Hutchins, Stephen Williams,James Fuller, Joseph Qua, terman, and James Burgess, were put to the bar, being in- dicted for having, on the 19th of November, at the parish of Wasing, unlawfully, maliciously, and felo niously broken a thrashing-machine, the property of William Mount, Esq. Mr.;GuttNEY stated the case. There were no less • then 2 . 2 persons included in this indictment; but five of them were not yet in custody. These persons formed part of a mob, which, during the night of Thursday, the 18th, and during Friday, the 19th of November, had kept the neighbourhood of Alder maston in a state of the most alarming excitement. They committed many outrages; but this case of destroying Mr. Mount's thrashing machine had been selected as being one of the least serious, and corm. quently presenting the mildest course of proceeding with regard to the prisoners. The Learned_ Counsel then called the following evidence : Adnams, examined by Mr. CAMPBELL-4 am a farmer. 1 was at Mr. W. Mount's farm on the 19th of November. It is at Wasing, in this county. A great assemblag►e of people came to the farm that day. In round numbers they were 150 or 200 I should bay. They had hammers and sticks. They entered the yard, and asked me where the thrashing machine was. I said, " Here." They went into the barn and commenced breaking the machine. It was a complete machine before. They destroyed it entirely. They were about half an hour doing it. They conducted themselves riotously. Of the pri soners I can recognize four or five. Thomas Hicks, Edward Harris, William Handkina, Daniel Hancock. These four I saw in the burn. Thomas Lever, examined by Mr. SIIEPHERD—i am a farmer at dermaston. 1 was at Mr. Mount's farm on the 19th of November. I saw the mob break the machine. George Williams, John Nash, George Arlett, John Naylor, Luke Browne, Ed ward Harris, Thomas Hicks, Thomas Brown were among the mob. Hicks had a sledge-hammer. John Naylor had a weapon. Hicks was particularly busy. John Paice—l was at Mr. Mount's farm when the machine was broken. I saw one of the prisoners in the barn. I saw Hicks breaking the machine. I saw Harris among the mob. I did not see him in the barn or breaking the machine. I saw Hawkins there, among the mob. I saw George Arlett, among the mob; also John Nash; and the man standing next Nash, whose name I do not know, but he called himself " Staffordshire Jack."----( Witness pointed out the man among the prisoners, and he turned out to be George Williams.)—Hicks was armed with a sledge-hammer. All those I have named had weapons; I cannot recollect what weapons. James Joplin, examined by M. TALFOURD—I am a plumber at Aldermaston. I was in the barn, and saw , ,the machine broken. I know Thomas Hicks, and I saw him that day. I saw him at Al dermaston, and in Mr. Mount's barn. He had a sledge-hammer. I saw him breaking the machine, and working very hard. I know Edward Harris, I saw him with the mob all the morning. He had a sledge-hammer when he passed through Aldermas ton. I saw him at the barn. I know Daniel Han. cock. I do not know Charles Vince. I know James Hutchins. I saw him at Aldermastoo, and afterwards at the barn with the mob. I know Ste phen Williams; I saw him at Aldermaston, and in the burn with the mob. I do not know James Fuller, nor Joseph Quarterman, nor James Burgess. Mr. IttGnv here observed that he had perused - he bill, and had observed that no true bill was foand against John Huichins. This was found to be correct, and the prisoner was removed from the bar. Mr. Adnam recalled and examined by Mr. RICKY —I bad conversation individually with Hicks, and collectively with himand the mob. I c Wed Hicks aside and said—"'llieks do not you go to Mr. Nlotint's house, for he is not at home, and it would he a shame to frighten Mrs. Mount and the chil- ' keen." • Hicks• ansivered very heartily, " Well, we won't ;" but he added, " If they will go, you know I can't help it." I said, " I know you can if you have a mind to it, so do your best." Some other person'elose to Hicks said, " lie can't help it; he if we don't go and have a sovereign and plenty of bread and cheese and beer.'' I do no' know that Hicks stopped them, but I believe he did. I afterwards gave Hicks .59. This was when Hicks was in prison; and I gave him this money because I thought he had acted honourably in pre venting the mob going to Mr. Mount's house. Luke Middleton (this was the accomplice) exa mined by Mr. GURNEY-4 am living at Midgharn nosy. lam a labourer. On Friday, the 19th of November, I was with the mob ut Mr. Mount's farm when the thrashing machine was broken. I joined that mob on the Thursday afternoon. I con• tinued with the mob all that night, and all Friday till we came to Mr. Mount's. We did not go to bed all night. We were on font all night. On the morning of Friday we went to Mr. Hickman's, at Aldermaston. From thence we went to 'Squire Congreve's. We were counted in the park, in Al dermaston Park. William Hawkins counted us. Hawkins joined us at two o'clock on Friday. About 113 were counted, but there were a great many more with us who were notcounted. Several joined us on the Friday who had not joined us before. Arlett, Nash, Fuller, and Hicks joined us at Aldermaston on the Friday morning. We had some victual,. and drink at the Hind's Head, at Aldermaston, after we came out of the park. One person paid for the whole. Edward Harris was the person. He paid for eighteen gallons of beer, 245., and about 17s. for bread and cheese. This mob was on foot all the night of Thursday. After having thk victuals we went to Mr. Mount's. I sow at Mr. Mount's, Thomas Hicks, Edward Harris, William Hawkins, Daniel Hancock, John Naylor, George Arlett, John Nash, George Williams (or Stafford shire Jack, as he was called), Thomas Brown, Luke Brown, John Cook, Charles Vince, Stephen Wil liams, James Fuller, Joseph Quarterman, James Burgess. These were part of our mob. These • were with us at more places than one—at several places. I saw Thomas Hicks help to break the threshing-machine. I saw also Edward Harris help to break the machine with a sledge hammer, weigh. ing 141 b. Luke Brown and James Fuller also helped to break the machine. After the machine was broken, the mob went away. We went to other places after. We at last got to Brimpton. Nearly all our mob kept together till we got there. We were met there by magistrates and gentlemen, and farmers assisting. them. Several of the mob were taken prisoners. I escaped. The magistrate, the Rev. Mr. Cove, read the riot act, and culled upon us to halt.. There was a regular fight. I was taken into custody last Thursday night. I was examined by the magistrate, and admitted as a witness. Henrick Hickman, examined by Mr. CA3IIIPELL I saw the mob at Mr. Mount's farm, on the 191 h of November, at Waling. I saw the machine broken. I saw Thomas Hicks and John Cook take a part in breaking the machine. Hicks took a very active part with a sledge hammer. I saw Charles Vince and Joseph Quarterman near the barn door. Joseph Quarterman was blowing a horn. It seemed us if by blowing the horn he was calling them together after the machine was broken. The mob was in number nearer '2OO than 100. Mr. Edward Cove, junior, examined by Mr. CAMPIJIMIL—I was present at Brimpt(m. Luke Brown, Thomas Brown, Stephen Williams, John Naylor, Charles Vince, and Daniel Hancock, were' among the mob. 1 can speak to them all. Some that were taken on that occasion were rescued. Cross-examined by Mr. saw some one with a pistol; hot I did not see a pistol presented :0 Hicks. I saw Mr. Toll and Mr. Goddard at ilrimpten. Ido not know if either had pistols. I saw Mr. Goddard's servant there. I did not hear him beg his master not to shoot. Re-examined by Mr. CAMPALL.—The mob were armed. There were not above 20 or 30 of the ma) who fought; the rest ran away. The prisoners made great resistance. Here the case for the prosecution closed. The prisoners were called upon for their defence, but declined saying anything. Witnesses spoke to the previous good character of E. Harris, J. Cooke, L. Brown, W. Hawkins, and Naylor. The Jury having retired for a few minutes, re• turned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners with the exception of J. Burgess, whom they ac quitted. Edward Harris, George Arial, John Nash, John Coventry, George Williams, Joseph Quarterman, Hawkins, IVionias Brown, Charles Vince, Luke Brown, Alexander Barrett, James Hutchins, .Stephen IVi julin Cook, James Burgess, Charles Williams, and dances Fuller, were indicted for having destroyed a threshing-machine, the pro perty of Mr. Kendrick Hickman, at Aldermaston, on the 19th of Novetnber. 7 ---The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners* Charles Gi Liamhlin, Stephen Den ton,James IVait, and William Beckett, were put to the bar, being indicted for destroying►, on the 18At of November, a thrashing-machine, the property of jet bra Lailey. The prisoners being called upon for their defence, they merely denied the charge. The Jury, alter some hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. The Foreman of the jury said that the Jury were not anxious about recommending to mercy, because for that they relied on the feeling of the Court. Mr. Justice PARK—I can assure you, gentlemen, that you have not made an improper estimate of the feeling of the Court. In the course of the proceedings to-day, Mr. Justice PARK sa►d he had to entreat those gentlemen who were retained for prisoners, to listen to what he hail now to say to them,—he holm.; once for all. Those gentlemen had more than °nee put questions which they either did know, or ought to know, to be quite irregular. The Court had been obliged to interfere and prevent such questions be ing answered. Now see the consequence of this : Ignorant people, and indeed all people who were not acquainted with the rules of evi deuce, might, and h► had no doubt would, go away with the impressim, that the Judges were hostile to the unhappy met who were placed upon their trial. Nay, it was -na tural that such people should imbibe this notion when they heard the Judges constantly disallowing questions which were evidently intended to slier something wh eh might produce an impression fa vourable to the prisoners.: By this means en error of the most serious and of the most dangerous kind was contracted; and who were to blame for this ?

Now he did hope,—and his Learned Brothers concurred with him in the expression of that hope,—that he should not have to mention this subject again, nnJ that the Court would not again he distressed by the recurrence of a practice which could not benefit a prisoner, and which he had shown to he productive of very serious consequences. During the trial of the first indictment to-day, the Counsel for one of the prisoners asked a question which was apparently intended to screen his own client at the expence of another of the prisoners ; but Mr. Justice PARK interfered, and said that the question should not be answered. The learned Judge, addressing the Counsel who had put the question, said, " I.beg you to understand, Sir, that every prisoner who cannot afford to employ Counsel is my client, and he assured that I shall not be so negligent of their interests as to - allow you or any one else. to hung one of 'my clients, idf order to saveyoUr own.' GRAND JURY. As art additional proof of the anxiety of the Court to have it generally toulerstood that the law is im partially administered in these trials, we may state, that the Judges abstained from inviting the Grand Jury and Magistrates to dine with them upon the tiro day of the proceedings, Mr. Justice Park as signing as a reason for this departure from an -esta blished practice, the great desire entertained by the Commissioners, in common with the Government itself, to free the administration of justice not only from the reality, but from the slightest appearance of partiality in the eyes of the lower classes. The learned Judge stated that he had consulted the Lord Chancellor and Lord Melbourne upon the subject, and that they were both of opinion it would be bet ter to omit the customary hospitality upon this oc casion, lest it might be imagined by ignorant per sons that, in talking over late events at the Judges' table, those whose duty it was to bear a part in ad ministering the law should be swayed from the course of even and impartial justice. WINCHESTER, TUESDAY, D&c. 29. Arthur Fielder, 43, John Tongs, John Collins, 33, George Palmer, 37, and Henry 'Roger:, 26, were indicted for feloniously destroying a threshing. machine, the property nf James Fulcher, of the pa• rid' of Mitchelmersh, on the 22d of November. James .Fulcher—On the 22d of November I at. tended a meeting of the farmers, and heard aelyOf " Now for Horn Farm !" There were nearly 100 by the vestry, where the meeting was held. I went arid saw so►ne of them running towards my farm. I followed, and when I got up to them they told me they were going to have a smack at my machine. I saw Fielder, Tongs, and Rogers with the mob. They must have heard what was said. The mob had not all arrived at my house then. Fielder said, " - your eyes, pay me the half-crown you owe tne." He had a hammer in his hand. There was a dispute about the money, and I told him it should be settled by a Magi,►trate. Tongs was there, with a hammer in his hand. lie is a blacksmith. Collins, Palmer, and Rogers, were also there, with sticks. All the prisoners went to the barn, where part of the machine was—some part was in the rick-house. 1 had taken the machine down, by the advice of my landlord, It could have been put up again, but they broke it to pieces. When 1 objected to give Fielder the half-Crown, I stated that I should not give them any thing after the handsome manner in which we had behaved to them in the morning. He held up the hammer to my head, and said if I did not give him the half crown I should not sleep again. The meeting of the tumors was relative to the labourers' wages. By the COURT—I saw only Tongs and Fielder taking un active part in destroying the machinery. I was not there all the time. I saw Rogers by the rick-house door, breaking the machine. I did not see Palmer and Collins take an active part ; they were standing there and calling out with the rest. Henry 'Wilkins—l was at Mr. Fitlcher's when the mob were destroying the machinery. Fielder, Collins, and Palmer were there. I saw Collins with one putt of the machine in his hand,breitking another port, by the rick-house. Arthur. Druce—l saw all the prisoners at Mr. Fulcher's; and saw Fielder, Collins, Palmer, and Tongs, breaking the machine. Several witnesses gave all the prisoners a very good character. Mr. Justice PARKE having summed up, The Jury found Fielder, Tongs, Palmer, and Collins Guilty, and acquitted Rogers. Several of the Jury then spoke strongly in favour of the good character of Tongs, and begged to re commend him, and also the other prisoners, to mercy. Mr. Justice J. PARKE then ordered that the pri loners who had pleaded guilty to a charge of riot that morning should be brought up, to receive the sentence of the Court. The prisoners having been placed in the dock, Mr. Justice PARKE addressed them in a most feeling manner, and pointed out to them, that al though they had not committed an act of consider ahl a enormity, yet it was necessary for the safety of the country, and the preservation of property, that the law should be put in force in their case. Riotous assemblages were illegal, and, in almost every in stance, led to the commission of acts► for which the offenders were liable to suitor capital punishment. Fortunately for them, however, in consequence of the prompt and spirited conduct of the Rev. Magis trate, they hail been prevented from carrying into effect those designs which, in all probability, would have rendered them gu'ilty of a capital offence. The conduct of the Vicar could not be too highly ap plauded, and it was to be regretted that other Ma gistrates had not been equally prompt. Thu Learned Judge then sentenced the prisoners to imprisonment for one month (beginning from the date of the " Special Commission," so that they have but about to fortnight's confinement longer), in the Bridewell prison of Winchester, and then to enter into their own recognitances for .50t. to keep the peace for two years. John Tongs, Arthur Fielder, John Collins, George Palmer, and Henry Rogers, were again indicted, with George Collins, for having feloniously destroyed the threshing machine of Gale. The prisoners eompt”ed part of the mob which had gone to Hull Farm, from which place they proceeded to Mr. Gale's, where they broke a threshing machine. Several witnesses swore to having seen all the prisoners in the harn when the machine was being broken. Some of them were engagel, in the work of destruction, and took a very active putt. The others wore looking on. Tongs admitted having been with the mob, but ,aid he was persuaded to join them. tie had staid :it home later that morning than he otherwise would ttave done, as he had a job to do, because he was :druid that he might be laid hold of by the mob, The other prisoners said they had been induced to go with their own parish, rather than that they would be pressed and made to go by the Trimsley inob. They should not otherwise have thought of going. ,John Collins had been sitting up several eights watching ricks, lest they should be set on NI, but had been induced to go by others on the :44 : ::. n rk , A , l / - - (7, 7 , ---- ''•': , ..„.„, :t i :,:,* . morning of the day 06 ',,041. .. ~ - ..,ti Inli A t ir d ..Justic ' ti - PARK ' f!Y g - 4 1 6 - t P( 1 1 ' it# 4‘-. 4 .,' f-.

He told them that he had given money before, and he could not,,therefore, afford to give any more. Upon this they said they would pull the house down, and one of them called out " fire !" He ultimately borrowed the money, locause some of them began to knock violently at the shutters, and gave it to them. All the prisoners were there. They pulled down the gate before they came up to the house, and called out for " bread, beer, and money." Ely the Courer—l do not .remember that Brown made any demand of mow._ or, ota,. . .

The deposition made by the prosecutor :before the Magistrate was here raid; it dif f ered' in many points with his statement on :this occasion. - The prisoners made no defence. Mr. Justice PARK; in summing up, called she, at tention of the Jury to the discrepancies in the stetr. menta of Canning ; and said it would be for them to say what degree of credit they could g re his evidence. The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoners. 1 John Webb, Samuel Bundy, Josiah AN, Henry Cavell,. Robot Cott, Stisiuel.

They had pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged th e n, with the commission of a most serious offence—Atilt of having riotously assembled together on the 26th of*No ember, and having made an assault upon two Magistrates while engaged in the execution of their duty. It was necessary to protect the Magistracy when so engaged ; and they had committed this offence under circumstances of considerable aggravation, and it was therefore incumbent on him to pass such a sentence upon them as would be en example to others. His Lordship then passed the follow ing sentences :—Richard Lane and Samuel Bundy, one year's imprisonment, and to be kept to hard leheur ; John Webb, Josiah Cull, Hobert Cull, Samuel Saunders, Char les Bratcher, William Liar, John Bratetter, and James Dixon, six months' imprisonment and hard Labour ; and Henry Cavell, on account of his previous good character, and Henry Bundy, on account of ill health, to be imprisoned three months, and to be kept to herd labour.

Dr. Jones---I an a Magistrate of the county. On the 231 of November a mob came to my house about ten o'clock in the morning (Tuesday); they came in' a large body, about 00 people; they were twined with bltidgeons, ledia 7 hammer, axe;, and elube. I demanded the tilasot; of their being assembled in that riotous manner, against the peace of the King and the terror of the neighbourhood. Childe said, " For our lawful rights, to break machinery, and get higher wages." lie said, " HaVe you got - any machine ?" I said, " You rebel ruffian, how dare you question me ?" 1 told the mob they were in a most Unlawful course; if they had any grievances to complain of, OW was not the way to get them redressed : op , the contrary,. 'they would bring greater distress upon themselves by the confusion 2nd violence. 1 said, I had no doubt, if they were really distresaed, the thing would be taken into consideration. A voice exclaimed, f‘ We have Waited long enough, we'll wait no longer," I begged them for their own sakes, to diverse; that if they Aid not 'I ex pected themilitery, and then, if theytnade any reeletence, they would be fired upon. I then said " I connusrul you, in his Majesty's name, to disperse, end to keep silence while I make proalametion to that et eet." Child that mad, a sign and said, " On, buys, nn." Upon whit they set up a yell, blew a horn, and moved on. I called silence three times, and then read the proclamation.
