SPIRIT OF Till PUBLIC JOURNALS. We seize with 'avidity the circumstance of 51. being transmitted to us " for the relief of the lies of these wii, have fallen or suffered in the late glorious struggle for liberty in Paris," of worn mending a general subscription for the same noble purpose. We do not suppose that our gallant neighbours are deficient in gratitude to their tithe tiers; but they will permit us to say, that the cause is a common one; for if the liberty of the press,—if the free election of representatives may be suppressed in one country by royal ordinance, though we are far from entertaining any apprehensions under the open hearted and gallant Prince who now rules England, yet the precedent might be injurious at some future period. Besides, our King loves his subjects, and loves them better because they are free, and would therefore wish that freedom which is the pride of his own country to be diffused over the world : be will himself sympathize with the suffering victims in the cause of public rights. We • strongly recom mend a general and liberal subseription, and shall ourselies not be backward in contributing our humble aid. Public meetingi have also been re commended in this country, to testify the admiration which the people of England feel at the conduct of the citizens of Paris. The suggestion has our per fact approbation. And now we turn to the victims of another cause—the Charles Capets, the Po lignses, and the rest of them. The first of these wretched persons, the late King, is no doubt on his way to England—perhaps ' ere this, arrived. Let the country receive him ; there is vice and villainy enough in it already; monstrous as his offences are, he cannot add much to the general stock ; and we hope there is virtue also, and integrity, and patriotism enough, to redeem the bad, even when his• crimes, and absur dities, and follies are added to the stock. There is not a parish workhouse in England, a penitentiary, or a bridewell, that would not be disgraced by such an inmate. Let him live upon his own resources, whatever they may be : one shilling for support farther titan to protect him against the cravings of hunger will not be allowed him here, But - how noble in the French people to dismiss the wretch, even before the streets of Paris have ceased to reek with the blood of the thousands. whom he and his councili have murdered 1 Perhaps we would wish the people to abstain from any mark of disgust at the sight of him ; yet we are reminded of the Devil's return from his more successful attempt to injure our common parents : " So having said, awhile he stood expecting " Their universal shout, and high applause "'Po fill his ear, when contrary he hears " On all sides from innumerable tongues " A dismal universal hiss, the sound " Of public scorn." As to the Ministers, they ought, if it were pos sible, to be excepted from the general rule, and to be given up, if they escape hither, and are claimed by the French Government ; for certainly greater criminals never landed on the British coast. They are responsible persons by the laws and constitution of France ; and though Charles X. might view his own rights with the prejudices and infatuation of absolute Royalty, they 'were in no such situation. — They were criminal for no other purpose than the: of simply destroying their country in order to please - a stupid and wicked master, whom they should either have restrained or quitted. The ordinance of the 25th of July bears on the face of it the impress of their having counselled it to, and demanded it of, the King: arid the innocent and unoffending citizens of Paris, slaughtered by thousands in the streets, are not to be the only people who are to reap the fruits of such counsels and demands. We hope to see the Francis Ministers brought to justice. — Time% We have never believed that any British States min was a party to the designs of Charles the Tenth, or in any way countenanced him in the un dertaking. it 14 unfortunate that the idea should .baye been entertained by the French, that they not only were indebted to •the Duke of Wellington for the Polignae Cabinet, but for the policy of that Cabinet. While we admit this, we cannot help be having that very strong opinions must have been expressed by men in power in this country against the French institutions. The article in the Quarterly Review, to which our Correspondent Public°la al luded yesterday, indicated all that has been at tempted by Charles the Tenth. That article is tie derstood to be the production of the well-known Captain Basil Hall, who hadno doubt his own ends to serve by writing it. Captain Hall is a tolerably good weather-rage. His account of South America, full V as it as is o the benefits resulting from liberty and in dependence.. was calculated for one undo of things. But Mr. Owning, the great patron of South Ameri- Cllll independence, being no more, Captain Hall was thrown on another tack, and he .produced a work on North America, calculated to atone in a certain guar for the injury done by him in the South. Are we to suppose that the Captain, when recommending a crusade against the French institutions, was indif ferent to the opinions of great men at home, or Un acquainted with them ? A good deal or speculation existed some few weeks ago, with respect to the de parture of Prince listerhazy from !melon, and Count Appony front Paris, and the meeting of these great men with Prince Metternich, at johennisherg. 'There are people who will have it that the o«li 'lances which followed so soon the meeting in gees. Cott were not altogether u n connected with it. Time will, !wham throw some light on this.—Morning Chronicle. The tyrant of France has met with more mercy from the enerous' nation he insulted than he de served to and. It was observed by a eent e mp ow y that the Charter secures impunity to the King; but be who destroyes the Charter is not entitled to rising any benefit under it. The impunity secured by the Charter supposes the Charter to be respected, 'We know of no doctrine more dangerous to society 1 ;,„.7it to hold out to any set of men, no matter by w i ih e ri,lme they are known, that if they z,in only And u set of Instriiments wicked enough and reck less enough to obey them in trampling on the laws 04 , ( 1 bistitutions of their country, justice shall alone Overtake the instruments, and leave the greatest grimitial . untottehed, In every country, bold and itodipta men May always he found in abunduece by tyrant '; and Inc disposition to avail himself of t% to ouch wililet be proiigionsly stimulated by the knowledge that, happen when it will, his own life will be este.

May they never have cause to repent their generosity We'suppose by this time Charles and his retinue are in lingtoo l d. A contemporary (the Globe), alluding to the suggestion .which we threw out respecting a Public Meeting, observes— A meeting of this kind, it appears to us, would be honourable to ourselves, gratifying' to the French, anti useful to Europe, by showing the unity of spirit which will exist in the most serious emergencies between the people of the two great constitutional monarchies of tirope. We do not put the expediency of such a meeting we. rely on the ground of humanity—on the duty, regret as ih of relieving extreme misery incurred in the voluntary ante tlitintereited performence of the meet virtuous labour.

This, however, is no reason for oat holding a meet ing in London ; it is a reason for also holding meetings throughout the country. The leading people of Yorkshire must be now assembled at their election. As soon as the immediate business which calls them together is despatched, let them take means to display the sense of their country. Edinburgh, Liverpool, Glasgow, Mnsichester, Birmingham, and the other great cities of the kingdom, will need no in vitation to follow the example to be given in London. " The opportunity is favourable for all parties in Eng land to join in their abhorrence of all attacks upon liber ties established by law, and to wipe away the suspicion which a very few, anti very unworthy, members of the nation may have brought upon it, by the favour with which they have regarded the late execrable attempts which have been so speedily defeated." We may observe, that the enthusiasm of our great towns seem equal to that of the metropolis.— We yesterday received a letter from an influential individual in Birmingham, who observes— " The most intense anxiety prevails to see the Papers, Morning and Evening, It is in every body's mouth, What public demonstration can we make in favour of the heroic people of Paris, and to advance the general cause of public opinion here?' Some propose a public and immediate subscription for the sufferers in Paris, to be made simultaneously in every town, and to be placed at the disposal of the Provisional Government. Others public meetings, to address the King, as Parliament is nut sitting. Could the London Papers devise a good mode of public expression, anti immediately recommend it? A national echo of unanimous feeling would reverberate throughout the kingdom. The intelligent people here really say, that they cannot bring their minds to the usual conduct of their private business. All are busied in con gratulation, and the interchange of generous feelings of sympathy. In my life no event has instantan-ously crested such sentiments and universal joy. The cause of liberty has been admired half a century. All Europe will now shake off the manacles of the Holy Alliance—Spain, Por tugal, Italy, Germany, roust participate in the glorious consequences. . . The public feeling will burst out intosome expression. Give to it a good direction." A meeting will soon take place in the metropelia, and it is not improbable that meetings may already have been held in some of the great towns. Our readers will see, from the communications we pub lish on the subject, that the public are eager for some opportunity to give expression to their feel ings, A gentleman of consideration in the city waited on us yesterday, with the information that some of the principal merchants and bankers, sharing in the general anxiety to testify their admiration of the heroic conduct of the Parisians, but desirous et the same time of expressing that admiration in the manner most acceptable to the French themselves, had deputed one of their number to communicate with a Member of the Provisional Government on the subject, whose answer would be received on Monday next. He showed us a list of a number of the first names of the city who were ready to sub scribe, on the receipt of the communication from Park. In the mean time we would observe, that measures cannot be too soon resorted to for pro curing to the people of this country an opportunity, at public meetings, of discharing the sacred duty which the victory of Feria imposes on them. It is for the French to consider how they may receive our acknowledgments; it is for us to consider what is due to ourselves, what is due to the great cause which has triumphed, what we owe in the way of example to Europe and to the world. The French have nobly done their part; ang it would be to insult a noble and high-minded nation like them to suppose that they will not receive kindly the expression of the admiration and sympathy of the British people. Subscriptions will, no doubt. he received elsewhere; and we know that the prin cipal establishments of the city Noe consented to charge themselves with them. Till a meeting is held (which will, no doubt, be soon), subscriptions will be taken at the office of the Morning Chronicle, and at the banking-house of Messrs. Cocks, Bid dulph, and Co., to whom we shall pay over daily any sums that may reach us.-2lforning Chronicle. And so the lute King of France is about to visit this countrr--if, indeed, he has not already landed on British ground—as James I.C. took refuge in France, a century and a half ago, when he had, by his con duct, forfeited all claims to the British throne. We are sorry for it. The country is not inhospitable ; but it cannot possibly give a warm reception to a man, who has not only forfeited all claim to its esteem, but who is detested, not only by every lover of constitutional freedom, but also by every one who holds perfidy and perjury in abhorrence. What can he expect from William the Fourth ? Per sonal safety ; and what else can he expect from his Ministers ? Nothing more. The suspicions of the Duke of 'Wellington and his coadjutors having in terfered in advising the late illegal measures, are already sufficiently strong—unjustly we believe—to render it imperative on their part, not to endanger the peace of the country, by giving any countenance to a man who has forfeited every right in the country over which he reigned, but that of personal protec tiou. This right, notwithstanding his infamous conduct, the people of France have allowed, with a generosity which does them the highest credit; but it would be too much to expect that they would view with satisfaction the concession to him of any other civility than that of mere hospitality. To this muds he is entitled as a stranger and an exile; but to nothing more; and we confidently hope and trust that while the conduct of the Government will be such as not to heap misery on disgrace and mishap.. tune, it will, at the same time, exhibit a determi nation not to interfere in the internal affairs of France. The last revolution ought, at least, to teach us that it is sometimes dangerous for wise men, as well as for fools, to interfere in matters with which they have no concern.—Afryn. Advert. The cry is universal not only for a subscription in behalf of those who have suffered in consequence of the late civil butchery in Paris, but also for a public meeting to declare the sense entertained of the attempted tyranny of the late King of France, and of the unexampled . spirit anti enterp r i se o f t h e people' of Perim. The idea is worthy of all com mendation. We shall most cordially give our mite to the former, and endeavour to promote the latter by every means in our power. The people of France have set an example to the people of every country in Europe. Their cause is that of mankind; and while, on the one band, there ought to be few, if any, who would not endeavour to allay th e sufferings of those who have been wounded— who have lost relatives, or who have been made widows and orphans,—by the late struggle, we think it is almost a matter of national duty and interest to hold a public meeting, for the purpose of bearing testimony to the gallantry and moderation of the Prose)) people, and reeardiug the sense uni versally entertained of the noble motives by which they were actuated. Such a meeting would tend to dissipate the suspicions entertained in Pranee respecting the conduct of this country, and, in all hrobehility, to establish a better underetanding than as yet existed between the tertycountries..—Aforn jug dittoerti,ter. The first scene of the great drama acting in Frittitte has closed; Charles X. has contended for his throne; from that throne ho has been driven, and the enetrdes of himself, of his family, and of Monarchy, hove triumphed. Success is all in this life, and we are therefore little surprised to hear the terms " perjurer," " wretch," " tyrant," “ vaga bond," heaped upon the head of a follen Monarch. Ile is tounted with these and similar opprobrious expressions—he is accused of having violated his oath and broken faith with his people; w e are, nevertheless, firmly and conscientiously of opinion, that in the late lamentable events the Ex-Sovereign of France was the aggrieved party, and that in the contest upon which he ventured he had right upon Ida side. The origin of the rommotions which have so suidenly shaken Charles X. from his throne arc not to be looked for in the Ordinances of the 26th of July, nor in the nomination of the late Ministry, It Ilea far deeper; it is to be found in the tern- Per of the French people, and in the ill-omened eaueession of a representative system and free itibti whoa* to a nation not ripe for their enjoyment. No Person Who tout set foot within the French territory 44 4 1 4 have totted to obserse the strong feeling per- vading nearly every class of the people, against the actual Sovereign, against the Bourbon name, and even against Monarchy in the abstract. The Charter afforded the means of giving effect to this almost universal bias, and the nation, though possessing every conceivable advantage that the most perfect form of liberty and the best system of Government could confer, did not scruple to employ those means to overthrow the existing Constitution, end reek- lessly hazard a change which could not improve,. though it might, and we fear will, greatly deteriorate their moral and political situation. Are we not jus tilied, therefore, in deducing that the French people were unfit for institutions which they turned to so evil an account ? 111-omened was the day which granted them the Charter ! The struggle between the Crown and the pee* was at hand; it could not have been long delayed. Charles X. in deciding upon the course he adopted did not create, as it is asserted, the dreadful cams trophe—he hastened it only by a few months, we might perhaps more justly say a few weeks. The existence of a fixed resolve to circumscribe the pre. rogatives of the King, and finally to abolish his authority, cannot be doubted by any candid and attentive observer of events as they have occurred. The pertinacity which the Liberals displayed in opposing that most important and essential branch of the King's prerogative, the selection of his Mi nisters, without the smallest assignable cause, and before the policy of those Ministers had been in any way developed, is in itself ample evidence of the charge we have brought forward. The King was thus reduced to the necessity either of reso lute resistance or calm submission. The single error he committed was in the selection between the alternatives, His single error was one of miscalculation or of rashness in deciding upon resistance without duly estimating his own power or the state of opinion and principles of ac tion among his people. The sense of the nation, though wrongfully, being against him, he would have acted nobly, and with greater wisdom, in re ' linquishing a Crown which he could no longer wear with honour; therein adopting the magnificent example of our George 111, who, under circum stances somewhat similar, had resolved to descend from his throne, and to banish himself ,from his country, rather than, on the one hand, surrender those tights which he deemed essential to the wel fare of the State, or, on the other, expose his king dom to the horrors of civil war. Charles X. unfor tunately attempted remedial measures without as certaining his means of enforcing them. Of these he was most strangely and fatally ignorant, while atnoag his enemies the result of the trial was at once clearly and precisely foreseen; the Liberals appear, from the first, to have had no misgivings whatever; their course was at once taken, and the event has wonderfully confirmed the accuracy of their views. That they may use well the su premacy they have acquired is our ardent hope, though we regret that it cannot be our expectation. Von* PM. Though we are far from wishing to encourage a spirit of nationality, it is impossible not to be struck with the number of our northern countrymen who are finding their way into the new Parliament, and that for the most popular places in England. Middlesex, Nottingham, and Norwich, have each displaced Englishmen, to be replaced by Scotch Re presentatives. What do the beads of our English Universities and public schools, and all the other pioneers in march of intellect, say to this ? Are the higher ranks in 'England only dootned to pay a high price for education, and become none the wiser, while the cheap and more solid acquirements of the Scotch allow them to carry off the prizes which present themselves in the lottery of life ?—.2lforn ing Herald. POLICE INTELLIGUNCE. GUILDHALL. William Briton, a ie-man, resldinif in Field-lane, Holborn, was brought before Sir PETER LAURIE lyesterday, upon a charge of knowingly receiving a gold watch which was stolen from an Hungarian gentleman named Toth, by his footboy, of which offence the latter was convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessioes. The principal witness against the prisoner was a shrewd little boy, about 13 years of age, who had just been discharged from the House of Correction, and who gave his name William Edmead. He stated that on the 7th of June, Charles Wells, the footboy, came to hi m an d sa id he had stolen his master's watch, and would be glad if he would assist him to get rid of it. Witness answered, he did not mind doing so, and he went to the prisoner, who stood on Holborn.hill, and was in the habit of buying stolen goods from boys. Wells told him to ask W. for the watch, but he said he should ask al., and did so. The prisoner asked him to wait while he went to see a man who would buy it ; and wit ness watched him to the shop of Mr. Reeves, the pawnbroker, on Snow-hill. When the prisoner returned be gave witness a shilling, and Wells Bs. 6d., in part payment; and they treated him with ale et a public-house in Fleet-market. Soon after they called on him again, and he said he could not give more than 30s. for the watch. He had offered it for sale, saying be had given 15/. for it down in the country, and he was laughed at, and told it was only metal, and worth 30s. Witness replied that the story would not do for him, and he must have 31,, and the prisoner then gave him a sovereign and half more, with which he and Wells started for Deptford air. Wells was taken there, and com mitted for trial. Witness was apprehended next day, but was discharged, when he called on the prisoner and told him what had happened. Prisoner then gave him 7s. od, more, upon which witness bought ls. worth of h's pies, and treated him with ale, and took 54. worth of things into Newgate to Richard Wells, the brother of the boy who was convicted, deposed that the priiioner had admitted to him he had purchased this watch, and sold it ag a i n for may 41. The - prisoner declared be knew noi ping of the watch or the boys, but Sir P. LAlMlE,after questioning the parties at con siderable length, remanded the prisoner till Friday, MARYLEHONE. A Mrs. Susannah Hill, who described her husband to be Surveyor General In the Excise Office, com plained before Mr.llawtinsort yesterday, that she had been robbed of . her reticule in Baker-street, the pre ceding evening. She was returning from Bond -st reet , about half-put nine o'clock with anot h er lady, and she hail reason to believe the thief followed them from thence, She saw him, after h. snatched away her bag, and she ran after him, crying." stop thief," .but lost sight of him in a court. Mr. Itewurisoikt asked what the hag cont a i ne d ? —She said some new lace, she had just purchased, some lace caps, her purse, with about 161. in it, and other more trifling articles. Edward Fletcher, a serjeant in the A division of the new police, saw the robbery committed, and pursued the thief down York -court, and into a small passage that heeds out of it. The thief entered a house,and he was so close behind, that he got his body hilt in, but the thief closed the door upon him, and held him between the door and the door -post. Un fortunately, he (the eerjearit) was in plain clothes, he was not on duty, and does not belong to this district, and another policeman, who vas br oug ht to the spot by the cry of 0 s t op th i ef, " took him into costody " Took the hound instead of the to* r RAIVLINSON...-" Yei," replied Fletcher, " and be fore I could convince him that I' was au officer myself, the thief made his escape by the buck door, after stripping off his jacket e n d cep, . which I here, produce.' William Hooker, a serjeant of the division D, ap prehentled at a late hour in - the evening. a young man, named Thomas Ward ; he found him near the Place arid be suspected him to b e the thief. He was placed at the bar, and_ RANYLV4SON asked Mrs, Hill if she knew him ? She replied, "I can swear to this jacket and cap, but he is not the man." Fletcher said he was not the thief, but he was in company with him when the robbery was committed. Mr. RAwLINsON remanded him till Saturday, hoping in the mean time to find the other. On Sunday Oxford-street was thrown into a state of alarm by cries of " Murder !" uttered by a lady in a phaeton, which a gentleman was driving at a most furious rate. The police stopped the carriage, and after ascertaining that the dangerous manner in which the gentleman drove was the only cause of the lady's distress, they took his name and residence, Mr. Phillip Klift, No. 168, Strand, and suffered it to proceed. tie was brought by virtue of a sum mons before Mr. RAwuNsorr yesterday, and charged with endangering the lives of his Majesty's subjects by wilful misconduct, and the charge was fully established by the evidence of most respectable witnesses. Mr. BAWLINSON told him it was, in his opinion, a case which deserved the severest punishment pre scribed by law, and he was fined 205.; and more over, for the security of his Majesty's subjects, he must give bail to keep the peace for a twelvemonth. Mr. Klift paid the fine, and gave the security required. LA MBETILSTREET. A desperate character named William Wa ller was brought to this office in company with a man named John Shea, charged with committing a bur glary in the house of Captain Thaker, a gentleman residing in Colet-place, Commercial-road. The prisoners were remanded. In the course of the hearing of the case, Mr. Gunning, the clerk, observed that the new police gave no infoi :nation of robberies at this office, in fact they strove all th e y cou ld to w i t hh o ld it. He thought such a course very improper. If when such information was given at any of the station houses, it was immediately forwarded to this office, it would be transferred to the Hue and cry, and by such publicity pawnbrokers and others would be enabled to stop stolen 'property, and assist in the detection of the offenders. Mr. WYATT concurred in these observations. Inspector Drew was not at liberty then and there to explain the reason why all information of rob beries was kept secret by the new police. There the conversation dropped. Mr. HARDWICK has received a letter from Ikey Solomons, respecting the property which was seized at his fence in the New North-road by Lea, the officer. Mr. Hardwick yesterday gave orders that Lea should make nut a list of every thing, and in what way any portion of the property may have been d►sposed of, and lay it before him. MURDER AT AUDLEM, CHESHIRE. (From the Chester Courant.) It becomes our painful duty to record the prema ture death of a fellow-creature at Audlem, near Nantwich. The unfortunate sufferer is the wife of Mr. Joseph Cheaters, butcher and publican, residing at the Phmnix Inn, Audlem. On Monday evening Mr. Cheaters, having corn. pleted his hay-harvest, gave the mowers and assis tants, among whom was his brother, John Cheaters, a harvest supper. About half-past , twelve John Cheaters left his brother's house with the intention of going home, and was accosted in the street by a person of the name of Thomas Hassell, who was accompanied by another person of the name of Sam brook Furber, by the appellation of " Old Bacon sides," with a request to be paid a small sum of money due to him (l 1 ssal') from Chester,. Words ensued, and eventually John Cheaters collared Hassell and shook him. The consequent noise brought Mr. Joseph Cheaters and his workmen to the scene of contention ; the wordy warfare was renewed, and John Cheaters struck Hassell, and felled . him. A scuffle then took place. It appears that Joseph lleaton,one of the mowers, took an active part in the fracas, when Samuel Heaton, another mower, interfered to prevent Hassell striking his father as he suspected that was his in tention, but Hassell disclaimed any such notion; and as Samuel Heaton was turning away, he received a wound in the back of his neck from some sharp in strument, which made him very sick and faint, and which he believed was inflicted by Hassell. The continued hubbub brought Mrs. Cheaters to • the spot, who told Hassell it would look better to pay what he owed her than to make a disturbance there. He said he would, and from the contradictory reports prevalent, it appears that they exchanged blows. He was, however, afterwards seen to clasp her round the neck with his left arm, and in the struggle they both fell to the ground, Hassell under most. Joseph Heaton ran to her assistance, and on lifting her up, heard her distinctly articulate—" Oh, thou has struck mer—and she expired soon after wards. Sambrook Pother was secured directly, and Hassell was delivered up by his father the next day. The deceased was in her 29th year, and has left one child. A Coroner's inquest has been held upon the body, and the Jury returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder" against Hasball as the principal, and against Purber as aiding and abetting, and they were accordingly committed on the Coroner's warrant to Chester Castle to await their trial. The prisoners are both young men under 20 years of age. SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT..MAIDgTONE, Aua. 4. NORRINGTON V. STROUDS. This was an action for slander, arising out of a parish equable. Both the ►arties were respectable farmers in the parish of ',odium. A meeting had taken place in the vestry-room, upon parish business; this was productive of high words, and considerable warmth was displayed. On that occasion the plain tiff and defendant were on opposite aides of the question in dispute, and the latter was ultimately defeated. When the meeting was over, a number of persons who had been present adjourned into the street, where an altercation ensued, in the course of which the defendant made use of the words, which constituted the ilander complained of, " You are a sheep-stealer," repeating them again and again. The plaintiff, anxious to avoid any continuance of this unpleasant affair, directed an application to be made, through his attorney, to the defendant for an apology, hoping that words used in the heat of the moment would be retracted in cooler moment.. This application was disregarded; a second letter, however, was received, intimating that no apology would he *turtle, and that the defendant was ready to abide by any measures Mr. Norrington might think proper to adopt. All other means having failed by which the imputation could be removed, it became requisite to adopt the present proceedings. The Jury returned a verdict for th• defendant. WHIT': V. CAVE NAGU. In this case the'plaintiff, a Captain of the noyal staff Corps, brought an action against the defendant for an assault. A verdict was given for Damages, 10/: Jan'ies Anneal was charged with robbing Moses Porter or a 61. bank -note, one sovereign, and as., at Seal. The prisoner AVON found G u il ty , an d sentime d to sev en years transportation. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.--.NORWICH, Ana. S. Mr. Justice J. PARKS opened the commission f o r this county yesterday evening, after having tinizhed the Suffullc Assizes by trying Charles Cocke. re it, who was indicted for the murder of his wife. The investigation Was very long, and as the facts have already been f ully detailed, We do not think i t necessary to repeat them, The evidence was such us to leave no doubt that the prisoner was in sane, and a verdict to that effect having been re turned, he was ordered to be confined until his M►jesty's pleasure should be known. After attend. ing div►ne service to-day, the Learned Judges pro ceeded to despatch the public business. It'illinin Drank:, aged 19, was totted guilty of u highway robbery, attended by circumstances of great aggravation. At the Spring Assizes for this county, a brother of the prisoner was convicted of being one of the perpetrators of this outrage, and received sentence of death, which was commuted to transportation for life. Previously to those Assizes, the two brothers had made an attempt to escape from the Norwich gaol, and had succeeded in gain ing the parapets of the prison, from whence this prisoner was letting himself down by a rope made of the shreds of his bedding, when the rope broke, and he was precipitated down a height of 70 feet. By that fall he broke both his legs, one of his arms, and his buck, and received many other severe in juries in consequence o f w hi c h h e was nim bl e to take juries, trial in the spring. He, however, survived his injuries, and to-day appeared in Court on crutches, still a dreadful cripple. The facts of the case were, that the prosecutor, named Rayner, a baker, had been going his rounds with his bread cart, and stopped on his return home on the Gth of January at the Maid's head, at East Winch, about seven in the evening. He there saw the prisoner and his brother, the former of whom had with him a short bludgeon with an iron knob at the end, who had been some little time drinking there. Going out to look at his horse, .the prose cutor saw the brothers looking very hard at him out of the window, which rather alarmed him. They then inquired of the landlord who that old gentleman was, and were told that he was a baker at Middle ton. They next inquired whether he was well to do in the world; and were answered "that he had no doubt accumulated n goodish sum by his industry." They also asked how far Middleton was, and were told two miles. Very soon afterwards they left the public-house, and the prosecutor followed. This was about half-past seven, and the moon was clouded over, but it was light enough to distinguish the person of a man. When he bad got about half a mile along the road, the prisoner and his brother came up to him, one on each side of his cart, and the prisoner struck him a severe blow on his head with the bludgeon which he had at the Maid's Head, and at the same time his brother violently beat him with another bludgeon. He bled profusely, and the two men then got upon his cart and rifled his pockets of 70s. in silver, and a sovereign. Being unable to go onwards, the prosecutor made the be s t of his way b ac k to he Maid's Head, and gave in formation, in consequence of which he was appre hended, which was not done until after great resist ance, and a severe chase. The prisoner said no thing in his defence, and called no witnesses. The learned JUDGE should consider well the case before he passed sentence. George Polka, a private in his Majesty's regi ment of Royal Dragoons, who appeared at the bar in the uniform of his corps, was indicted for stealing ten sovereigns, a watch, and other articles, from the person of Christopher Lennard. He was convicted, and sentenced to be trans- ported for 14 years. BERVOR, A.D. V. PRESTON, CLERK. This was an action to recover 331., as a composi tion for tithes. Mr. Serjeant STORKS stated the case of the plain, tiff, who, as is the defendant, is a Magistrate of the county. The defendant is the owner of considerable property in the parishes of Ketteringham and Hethel, of which the plaintiff is respectively Vicar and Rector. In 1824, the land was thrown upon the hands of the defendant by his tenant, who had been in the habit of compounding for his tithes with the plaintiff. Being desirous of determining the composition, the defendant, in the spring of 1825, sent a notice to the plaintiff, announcing his inten tion of doing so at the end of the then current year; and the only question in the cause was, whether this notice was evidence of a previous agreement that for that year there should be a composition for the tithe.. The Jury found for the plaintiff. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—STAFFORD, Auo. S. JONES V. SIMPSON, ESQ. AND ANOTHER. This action was brought by Mr. Thomas Jones, an attorney of this town, against Mr. Simpson, a magistrate of Staffordshire, and Robt. Derbyshire, a constable, who had acted under his authority, for an as ,, ault and false imprisonment. Mr. CAMPBELL stated the plaintiff's case. The plaintiff was an attorney, residing in the county of Stafford. The defendant, Richard Simpson, Esq. was a magistrate of that county, and the defendant, Robert Derbyshire, was a constable of Burslem. It happened in March last year, that informations were laid against a Mr. Whitmore and a Mrs. Swaine, for an alleged offence under the Hawkers' and Pedlers' Act. The parties employed the plaintiff (Mr. Jones) as their attorney, to defend them. The day for hearing the informations was the 23d of March, at Burslem, before the defendant (Mr. Simpson) and another magistrate (Trafford Trafford, Esq.) who then sat in Petty Sessions at the Town hall. The plaintiff attended there on the part of his clients (Mr. Whitmore and Mrs. Swaine); but on approaching the door of the room where the magistrates were assembled, he was informed, by Derbyshire, the constable, that he could not be per mitted to enter, orders having been given by the ma gistrates to that eff ec t. Th e plaintiff insiating on his right to admittance, was pushed back by Derbyshire and others, who were acting as door-keepers. After some time he succeeded in obtaining admittance, but Mr. Simpson told him he should not be heard on the part of those for whom he appeared. The plain. tiff still insisted on his right to be present and to act for his clients ; and having been assaulted by Derby. shire, the constable, at the door, he applied to the Magistrates for a warrant against Derbyshire; but on consideration he determined to forego that pro ceeding, thinking that as Derbyshire was merely the tool of the Magistrates, he should not hare justice done by them. Some altercation afterwards took place, and in the result the plaintiff was told that he stood committed for a contempt, and he was re quired to give securities for his good behaviour for twelve months, himself in 1001., and two sureties in .501. each. The plaintiff had incurred the displea. sure of Mr. Simpson in some former transaction, and on that account it was that the order for his ex clusion had been given. It was clear, however, that he had a right to be present, not only as an English subject, but as the legal adviser of the parties against whom the informations had been laid; and the de fendants, in acting as they did, had been guilty of illegal conduct, for which they were amenable in this action. Witnesses were then called, after which the Jury found for the plaintilf-,Damages 11. There is another action at the suit of the same plaintiff, who was in Court to-day. Mr. CAMPBELL (at the suggestion of Mr. Justice Park) . proposed to take a verdict with a shilling da mages In this case also, but the defendant's counsel would not consent. The case, therefore, stands for trial to-morrow. NORTFIEFtN CIRCUIT.--..YORK, Action S. ThOmas Farraday, a decently-dressed old man, was arraigned this day, upon a charge of * having in his possession a bank bill, value 1001., which formed part of the notes stolen in September last from the betting-rooms at. Doncaster. Two clerks were called► whose testimony was not found sufficient to bear out the suspicion, and the prisoner was conse quently acquitted. The North and East Riding cause-list has been disposed of, and the West Riding cases have come on, to the number of 116, four only of which are Special Jury causer,. Those which have been dis posed of to-day are of the most paltry and uninte resting nature. The Temps says, "An Englishman, who lodges at the Hotel Meurice, Mr. K--44, fought esn stantly on the aide of the people during the 28th aid 29th. His enthusiasm and courage an greatly excited the citizens, that they unanimously elected him their Captain. This brave foreigner led them on to the Eire with unparalleled order, and did not resign the command he so well merited until he saw tranquillity perfectly restored. Such deeds are equally honourable to both nations, end show what a sense of security the conduct of the French people has Ins. pressed upou foreigners." THE MARKETS.
