A few minutes afteiivardsi however, it came out on the acknowledgMent of Mr. AdOlphtiS, that Jones had been re=stirnmoned by him. Another man, Croney, likewise dish claimed any knowledge of Lieut.

After the eVidenCe called by the Jury had closed, Mr. Adolphus enumerated the several points which he p'ropOsed. 'to establish by his witnesses.

That h a d they availed themselves, to its full extent, of their utdo ubted right to resort to their weapons iri self-defence, the ktila w P--' of that day must have been dreadful, and great numbers 9111‘11?ave fallen the sacrifice to their just resentment.

It appeared that property to a considerable amount, belonging to a person in the West Indies, had been attached in the city. The defendant's wife, who is pow in France, gave authority to a Solicitor to defend the action and put in bail to the attachment, and he accordingly now brought forward the ANDREWS examined them at considerable length as to their validity, which they established fully to the satisfaction of the Lord Mayor ;. but it appeared . that they had no knowledge whatever of the plaintiff,. nor any authority from him to put in bail. They had come fOrward solely to - oblige the defendant's Solicitor; on his promising to. bear them harmless. They neither knew the defendant nor his connexions.—Mr. ANDREWS, in a long speech, contended that this bail was inad missible; and he - contended, that where the'bail came without the knowledge or authority of the . principal it could not be received.—The Solicitor put in a letter from the defendant's wife, authorising him to defend the action : and to pro cure 'bail. This he answered was a proper au thority.—The Loan MAYOR was inclined to de cide according to the generald.practice. of the Court, which was favourable to the admission of such bail.; but at the request of the professional Gentlemen on both sides, his Lordship postponed the case for a further hearing, when COunsel will attend on both sides to argue the point at length. BUONAPARTE'S BUST. ' BOW-STREET.—A most singular case came on yesterday before It. BIRNIE, Esq. " Dr.. Burton procured a warrant to search the ,douse of Count Bertrand for a bust of the late Emperor Buona parte ;• and just at the moment when the officer arrived with the warrant, Sir Robert Wilson happened to call upon the Count, and entreated the officer not to proceed until he had accom r panied the Count to Mr. BIRNIE, to have the matter investigated. The officer consented, and the whole party went to the office, when it was stated on the part of Count Bertrand, that he was one of the Executors of Napoleon's will, and had been desired not to let any one touch the body of the deceased. It had been judged _ . necessary, however, that a mask or bust of him should be taken before he was interred, and, for that purpose, Automachi, the Italian, and Dr. Burton, were. engaged. After it had been completed, Dr. Burton had applied to the Count for the bust, who replied, that it was not his to give, as it belonged to the Em peror's family ; but the Countess promised to do all she could to procure him a copy of it, meantime, the Count would write to Napoleon's relatives for leave to do so. Not satisfied with this, the • Doctor procured a warrant to search the Count's house. Dr. 13., on the other hand, stated that he got permission from the Governor of St. Helena.to take:the bust, and that he pro cure&the material and modelled it himself alone, which no one.else_could do, and left it with the Countess. When he called for it again, he was informed that it was packed zip and nailed dorm ready to•take to England, therefore he could not have U.- 7 n% BraNtE discharged the warrant, with this memorandum, that no property belong ing to Dr. B._ was found, and that the property in question.belonged. to the executors. PARIS, Auo. 29.—(Extract of a Private Let ter.)--" A ludicrous, though a painful, scene, to one of the chief actors, took place a few days ago at the Jardin des 'Plantes. A gymnotus elec tricus, or electric eel, had arrived, alive and in good - health, from Surinam. 'The savans and naturalists were all in motionand hastened to the garden of plants to see with their own eyes, and touch with their own hands, this living elec trical machine. The greater number were satis:- tied with a single touch and consequent shock; but one unfortunate Doctor, either urged by a greater zeal for science, Or governed by a more itvatiablo curiosity, resolved to try the utmost extent of the animal's powers, and seized it with both his hands, but had quickly reason to repent his temerity, for he immediately felt a rapidly repeated series of the most violent and succes sively increasing shocks,_ which forced him to caper about in the most extraordinary manner, and to utter: the - moss piercing . screams from the agony that he felt. 11 e then fell into convutsionS, in consequence of which his muscles became so contracted, Or from some strange 'property in the fish, it became. impossible to detach the animal from his grasp. In this situation he remained a . considerable time, and would in all probability have expired under the :agony of his sensations, if some one of the persotts present had not sup,- ' gestoll the plunging cif iris hands in water, when the eel. immediately dropped off. He (the Doctor) has been ever since most dangerously ill." • It will easily be conceived that the approach of George the Fourth [Mist be rega - rded as an event of no small importance to that king dom. In the King's absence from his Bri: tish possessions, a Commission of Lords his= (ices will be appointed, according to the prece= dents established informer reigns, to exercise the functions of Royalty - here: Who the individuals are that will be Comprehended in this• Commi ssion we have not yet heard, but it cannot be doubted that those will be named who are most distinguished for birth and talents, as to-them will be confided the exercise of some of the highest powers of the Crown. They will be en abled to decide in• cases of life and death, and the most valued prerogative of the Crown, that of extending Mercy to - the condemned, will be entrusted to their hands.. The seal to be used by the Commission is now preparing, and in a very few days we expect to be enabled to an nounce the completion of 'the whole of the ne cessary arrangements. {NEW TimES.l At length the tedious proceedings of the Co roner's Inquest on Honey appear to be drawing to a close. " Mr. Adolphus stated last night, that he should call only five more witnesses. We continue to abstain frOin remarking "upon the evidence. [MORNING HERALD.] We have received adVices from several of the West India Islands to the latter end of July, which state that the seas in those parts continue to be thronged with privateers, under the flai . Of `Artigas; which commit depredations on vessels of every description. Some of these cruizers mount 'as many as 22 guns, with bpWards of 200 men, and they obstruct commerce about the Islands 'to a serious extent. Some English and French ships of War are stationed in the neighbourhood 'of the Islands to protect the interests of the two nations; but notwithstanding the vigilance used by them, the pirates ffnd means to carry on their depredations. St. Batholomew's seems to be the island to which the chief part of the prizes are carried. Three vessels, laden, with coffee and sugar, were captured and sent into the Five islands about the 21st July, condemned, and sold. The Spanish brig of war Maipo, bound from Lima to Cadiz, was taken in June, to the southward of Rio Janeiro, by a privateer under the Buenos-Ayrean flag. [MORNING CHRONICLE. The manner in which the Ministerial Writers would render the military altogether indepen dent of the civil power, by allowing them to act. against the people without the authority of a Magistrate, and under the pretext of. self-de fence, to commit dreadful .carnage by way of sacrificing to what . Mr. Blades and his friends call. their just resentment, must awaken the least reflecting minds to the progress we have been making of late 'years towards a military despotism. The Riot Act, which passed on the accession of the present Hanoverian Fa mily, when a majority of the aristocracy, and a great "body of the Clergy of the Church of England were Jacobites, and when, con sequently, dangers 'and difficulties of all kinds perpetually beset the Government, was generally considered a measure incompatible with a free .Government, 'which ought to be repealed with the dangers. that it was framed to meet. To vest Magistrates with the power of calling troops to their aid instead of the posse comitatets, was justly viewed by the enlightened and independent men of former days, as having a necessary ttmdency to' produce a contempt: for public feeling and opinion, on which every free Government must rest for the execution of the laws. Thus Lord Bathurgt, in a speech delivered by him in the House . Of Lords, observed, " There is a very great difference between a Magistrate's being assisted by the posse of the country, and his having a Doily of regular' troops always at his command. In the first case, he must, in all his measures, - pursue justice and 'equity ; he must even study the humoUr and inclinations, and court the affec tions of the people, because upon them only can he depend for - the execution of his orders as a Magistrate, and even for his safety and protec tion as a private man ; but when a Civil Magis trate knows that he has a large body of regular well disciplined 'troops at command, he deS- Oise's . both the inclinations and the interest of the people." 54 14 2 0 1 1 10 10 1 1 5 5 2 2 1 0 1 0 1 1 5 5 2 2 2 0 1 1 .2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 10 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 5 0 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 0 1 1. 1 1 1 1 3 - 1 02 .0 7 [THE TIMES.] At the inquest yesterday, Lieutenant Gore preSented himself for,the purpose of giving those witnesses who had sworn to . their 'recollection of the individual by whoin Honey was shot, an op•• pOrtunity of identifying his person By three of them, King, Spratt, and Green, Lieut. Gore was expressly declared to be . the . man. A fourth wit ness,. Mr. behrraine Jones ; after stating that if here, that no intimation is given by that learned personage of-a design to rebut, or in any manner affect, the evidence of Samuel Green on the subject of Lieutenant Gore's identify. We may here 'remark, that the apparent incon sistency of the witnesses on the subject of Lieutenant Gore's identity arises no doubt from the circumstance of. the strong resemblance which exists between him and another Officer in the same regiment —a resemblance said to be‘so great, that even the friends of each are some times puzzled to discriminate between them. But is it not most inconsistent with that line of defence which Mr. Adolphus has chosen, namely, the Propriety and necessity of the Guards firing in discharge.of their duty, to suffer the time of the Jury to-be wasted by any inquiries as to the author of that particular act,of duty to which Honey felt a victim ? and is it not unmanly in the individual Officer to abstain from avowing an act which is so unequivocally described as an act of duty? Most heartily do we wish, for the sake of the honour of British Officers, that no lawyer had been called in to divert them from that plain straight forward course which their own feelings and manly habits of thinking must necessarily have dictated. [BRITISH PRESS. The state of the corn market' at , the present moment throughout England and Ireland seems to be very uncertain and precarious. The prices of corn have for the most part increased consi derably during the last fortnight, in consequence, as we are told, of the unpropitious state of the weather; and we further understand that the heavy rains of the last' week or ten days have done incalculable mischief.' If, however, we may attach credit to the representations made in several provincial papers, the corn harvest pro mises to be exceedingly abundant, fOr the ground, they say, is well covered, and the grain in the earls large, plentiful, and- heavy. These representations respecting the probable results of the harvest will keep the corn market in suspense for some time, but the corn dealers must take care how they suffer their speculations to bring into action the taw which provides for the impoi tation of foreign corn, when the average prices shall have arisen to certain specified amounts, It was at the commencement of this year that Lord Liverpool, in the House of Lords, ascribed the miseries which the industrious or labouring classes of the State had for some years endured, to the excess of our national productions. The principle, no doubt, appeared to many to be au extraordinary paradox, that abundance necessarily led to wretchedness, and that mankind was doomed by the inevitable law of nature to starve in the midst of plenty. Entertaining these opi- lions, however, Lord Liverpool must, during the course *of the summer, have frequently congratulated himself and the country upoa the unpropitious appearance of the wea ther, for, during the last four months, we have enjoyed but a very trifling pro portion of swishine, in comparison with the im mense quantities of rain that have fallen upon our fields.
