title of Vice Roy having been abolished by the C onstitution, on the same day he issued a Procla mation to the people, and on the 4th, in a public address, he congratuLlted the trbops and inhabi tants on their having annihilated the enemy's force which had appeared before their walls, the greatest part of which, he observed, paid for their temerity with the loss of life and liberty. On the 2Sth ult. a fleet of 20 merchantmen sailed from the Havana for Cadiz under convoy of 2 Sloops of War. At the Westminster Sessions, on Saturday last, 11 'illtam Grffiths was put upon his trial for being Concerned in the riot at Knightsbridge Barracks, on occasion of the funeral of IIoNEY and FrtANcts. The defendant was acquitted, it appearing that though he stood atnong — st The mob, he was at the time close by the steps of his mother's house, Where he .resides. ‘%. hen apprehended by the Constables, too, he explained that the words, " stand, cowards, stand ! " which he had been' heard to utter, were addressed, not to the rioters, but to the Constables! The organ ,of AVAITIIMA Y takes occasion from this ac quittal to contend that there , was no riot at K nightsbridge, and that Lord BATIIIniST, in aS- . serting that there was a riot, in his letter of reproof to Mr. Sheriff.WArrnmAN, was guilty of, 11 positive mis-statement ! This is a singular way of reasoning. We apprehend that the bruises sustained by the soldiers and the broken Windows of the barracks afford rather stronger evidence of the actital- occurrence of riot than the nega- Eve proof that there was none, which is at tempted to be assumed from the acquittal of one individual. Besides, Nvhy has the other defend ant, Rs, not made his appearance 'to take his trial, but has suffered 'his recognizances to be estreated ? lie had not the good fortune, .we fear, to be standing near the'steps of his mother's house. —But it is useless to dwell upon the mi serable sophistry by which the Opposition w riters would attempt to infer the .absence riot, Me re y because it has been decided by a Jury that a certain individual was not one of .the rioters. The trial itself proves that there was 11°E., The issue of th e t r i a l on ly p roves th a t t; ) , • 7 ffiths was not concerned in it. ~.......... nis MAJESTY certainly visits Paris.—A cou rier arrived on Saturday last ? from Sir CniRLES STUAjzT, With a letter for the Lady ELIZABETH. _Her Lady s hi p being now in Dublin, on a visit to the Lotto LIEUTENANT, the messenger proceeded I thither.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. — The business of this Court commenced this morning, before FRANCIS CoNsT, Esq. and a full Bench of Mag istrates.— On the Grand Jury being sworn, t he Learned Chairman, in his charge, took occasion to regret the great number of cases that would be present ed for their investigation ; that circumstance was, however, he said, materially softened by the re flection that there was no case marked with any extraordinary turpitude. On the Jury with drawing, the Court proceeded with the Traverse Paper, which contains an uncommon number of cases of assault; there are none, however, of any public importance. WESTMINSTER SESSION g. On Saturday the Court was occupied -with a nimber of petty assaults, in which some of the fair 'sex were very conspicuous ; but the deeds of these amazons were not of sufficient interest for public record. MR. TAYLOR'S ACT: IMPORTANT To MANUFACTURERS: i•••• • tins was an appeal. against a conviction of Mr. Minshull's ) the Magistrate of Bow-street, upon an information preferred against Messrs. Combe, Delafield, and Co., . the- _extensive brewers, by the dust contractor for the parish of St. Martin, to recover several penalties against them, for the removal from one part of their pre mises, which is in St. Martin's, to another, which is iniSt. George's, Bloomsbury, of a quantity .of cinder's ; within the meaning of the clause in Mr. M. A. Taylor's Act, which vests the property, in such cases, 'upon their.removal, in .the paro chial contractor.—All the facts of the case were admitted, and_ the question arose upon the legal construction of the Act, • Mr. ALLEY, in support of the'information, read the clause,. which prohibited all persons from carrying away, or going about to carry away, or remOVe dust, ashes, cinders, &c. from one parish to another, except by order or consent of the parish contractor for the same.. It was here admitted that Messrs. COmbe, Delafield, and'Co., the extensive brewers, who con sumed a greatdeal of coal, had removed a large quantity of their ashes from one part of their premises to another, situated in a different parish, and where they again used it for some pur pmes connected with their business. low, whatever might be the policy of the act, and its occasional-hardship, it was quite 1 clear that, by the - clause in this act, whenever any coals Were once consumed in a tire.or a furnace, they,' upon removal,•be.. Came the property of 'the parish contractor; who paid a . large sum for his contract—in this case 1901. a-year. . Mr..Anor.mtrs—We, on the other side, beg the Court to bear in mind that it is our own servant carrying away our own coal from one part of our manufactory to another,,and for our own purposes in the process of our trade. Mr. ALLEY admitted that fact, but still contended, upon the ?uthority of the Carlton House and Sir Joseph Bankes s cases, that the removal was contrary to Act of Parliament. The CHAIRMAN.—But here they are usingit fir their own purposes in the process of trade-1)o you admit 'that ? Mr. ALLEY.--We say that the moment the coal is used, the original owner has no right to carry it away ; that is our view of the Act. Mr. Ctrnwoon said, he had to oppose his Learned Friend. (Mr. A.'s) view of the Act, upon' the construction of which he must, however, make few preliminary observations. They all knew that that Act had been framed by Mr. Michael' An gelo Taylor—indeed since the time Of . Henry VIII. the Tay . - lors appeared to preside, like a tutelar 4'epio.s, over this - great metropolis. Sir Robert Taylor, the father, took under his sr guardianship the buildings of the metropolis ; the son, Michael Angelo Taylor, took to himself the whole of the pave ment of the 'Metropolis. The father's Act was obscure-enough, the son's still more improved upon the obscurity of his-pre de6,essor ; and it must remain until the' seniority of a future Taylor, to see whether it will be possible, in the same fa toirame an Act exceeding in obscurity that upon which the . present information was founded. here the qUestion was simply this _Could the COntractor, within the evident mezning and intention of the Legislature, step in and take the article of the.manufacture, while in process of use in his busi ness, and upon his own .prewises ? Messrs. Combe, Dclafield, and Co. were, as was stated, extensive brewers: their premises happened to he situated within the precincts of two parishes. In one part of their premises they need large quantities of coal in their process of bresvlng• in another, they tisti - the small coal and uncousumcd fuel, whicl; fell through the furnaces of their large coppers, which it Was necessary to rake and stir, for the pur pose of preserving a fire of a certain beat, for the purpose of boiling water to cleanse their casks. The.ftiel so used was not properly ashes or dust, for it contained a good deal of coal, which fell, unreduced, through the gratings of the larger fur naces. How was it possible, then, to construe this act so as to prevent their applying their coal in the one case as they did in he' other, without at once creating h principle and precedent which violated all the rights of private property, in a manner which no Act:of Parliament could have ever contemplated % The case only required to be stated to shew the absurdity of any such attempt. • Mr. A.CLEY---" We know that bricks ,maY he made of the refese dust of coals : could the. reftiae be taken away for such a purpose Without violating this Act ?" • The Ow nmas—" VeS I think it could, if a man were so using it upon his own premises. Mr. C a woop—The plain facts here were, that the cooper age happened to be in St. George's, Bloomsbury, and the ac tual brewery- in St. Martin's a in one part of the establishment coals were used in one arecess, and, , in the other, in a different way, but still for a part of the same-business; but in came the scaverger of St. Martin's and said, " True, you can burn your coals in My parish for your own brewery, but you shall not in St. George's; for the moment you attempt to remove them ac:oss the street, they became mine " As well might he c'a'm the coke which was removing from the gas manufactories. It was true, that, by Mr. 'Taylor's Act,. no man could remove his dust from his own premises to mother, to be applied to a di g'. purpose from that in which he used his fuel ; but here there was an obvious distinction in the cases. In criminal cases,. an Act of Parliament Must be construed literally ; that was neces sary for the full defence and security of the lives of his Males ty's subjects ; but in civil cases the Court were hound to. take the meaning of the law from the whole scope of the Act, as it evidently interpreted the motive of the Legislature in enacting it. The legislature evidently intended to keep the streets free from nuisance ; but they never contemplated, where they gave' a surveyor a remedy against another for removing his ashes, that he should also have a remedy against the real owner, who was creating no nuisance, removing no dust, but carrying it from one part of his premises to another for a purpose necessary fur the process of his own trade. - Mr. Apoartius followed on the same side, and said that there was an evident distinction between this andi the Carlton .house case ; for in the latter, the Court would recollect, there was a disputed claim of property, the refuse fuel being claimed by some of the household under a warrant of office as their per-. quisite. The Legislature, he contended, could never mean to authcrise the intrusion of a scavenger into any man's pre mises to carry away his unconsumed fuel ; if that were to be the constellation of the law, then the contractor might enter a gold smith's workshop . and carry off his ashes, if the goldsmith presume to move it from one part of his premises to another to carry it through the process of washing, for the purpose of se parating the gold dust from the ashes to which it attached in the process of the manufacturer's trade. He also observed that a great part of the coal was not used at all before remeval— many smaller parts of the coal fall through entire' Mr. A r.LEY ' in reuly, insisted that the clause in the Act Was imperative. As to the statement that particles of smalier 'coal might fall through and mix up with the ashes, that was nothing. They all knew that ft cook, in hurrying on her dinner, often rafted out good coal ; but was that a reason why when the dust man came she should insist upon his not removing the dust from the dust hole, until he separated the particles of. coal from the dust of the ashes. He admitted that many hardships were im posed upon- private individuals by the local acts; foe instance, the. removal steps, where they had been standing for years ; and the consevent alteration and limitation of halls and porti- . while those acts - subsisted they must be obeyed. The CHAIRMAN, in pronouncing the opinion of the Court, said,. that he could never put the construction upon .this act, which was contended for in support of the present information. It was true that the ease was one of particular importance to the parochial contractor, and also to the public at large. It must equally be admitted, that the act trencned very much upon what were previously considered the rightS of private individuals. Ile Was old enough to remember the time when dustmen were obliged to be paid large sums for removing ashes and dust ; but of late years its value and uses becoming better known, large sums were given tbr it, and the expenses of removing additionally in curred by the parties dealing in the commodity. It bad been truly said that the case of Carlton House dust was different from this ; so also was that of the late Sir Joseph Bankes ; in the fbrrner was a disputed claim of property, and in the latter thecase was this :—Sir Joaeph- consumed in his -house, in Soho-square, a large quantity of coal, and was in the habit of removing the aches, after they had passed through their full stage for domestic use, to his place at trounslow, where, in his botanical pur suits, he wished to apply them for his manure uses. Now that was the exact purpose for which the Legislature meant to pre scree theta for the dust contractor, and was clearly what the law intended to , prevent. The law did not tolerate a claim for coke, nor for Goldsmiths' ashes, in - this Act ; and when there were such distinctions,. it behoved the Court to examine each case as it came before it, and to decide exactly as the merits of each appeared to require. What was the present case 7 Was it a fraud upon the contractor, by_ the removal of dust from one man's premises to be applied to the uses of another, or to be made a profit of, by sale or application as a distinct commo dity from that which it originally was ?—No such thing ; it was not in a state of delivery as dust, but actually passing through an intermediate _process of consumption as fuel, in a znanitfaetzry where that fuel was used. Such beirg the fact, he thought the information could not be sustained, and must be therefore quashed. Mr. AI. T.E Y said that he was ready to bow to the decision and ,clear distinction which, the Chairman drew between this caste and others which had been decided under the Act. The Chairmen observed, that the laW never could' have in tended, to give the dust cOntractor the privilege of saying what was dist and what was not. When it became dust it certainly be' ine his property on removal, but not otherwise. RIOTING AT HONEY A:4D FRANCIS'S FUNERAL. en Saturday, at four o'clock, the regular busineiS of the Session having been brought to a clo•sa ? 31r. IVAnvonn addressed the Chairman, and said; that he had yesterday applied to the Court to have the recognizancesof two men, named John Fly and William Griffiths, estreated, -they not having appearet,, as they were bound to do by their recognizances entered into on the 28th August last, to answer a charge of riot at Knightsbridge on the 26th of that morfth;and for which a bill of indictment had been found againat them. He now understood that one of the parties was torthcoming, and he should therefore content himself with applying; to have the recognizances of the other (John Fly) estr.:ated. The prosecutors were ready to go to trial on the indictment against Griffiths, who was now in Court. tiRIFFITHS' was thenput to the bar, and pleaded Not Guilty to the indictment, for riotously assembling at bridge on the 261 h August last. -• ' • • . 1.701,{Dy in staling the case against him,icutreated the Jury to discharge from their minds altogether the 'Previous accounts which they had heard of Certain tumultuotis transac tions which had orcurrcd at Knightsbridge during the tuzieral of.two men named Francis and Honey, who had been killed on the day of the late Queen's funeral. Ile said it was tSeEduty alone to collect the facts from the evidence which Would teWi.i before them, and not in any degree to suffer their minds .to re ceive . any bias firm previons statements. A considerable as semblage of the lower classes of the people had Met on the eVen ing of the 26th, of the funeral in question, at Knightsbridge 4 in front of the barracks of the regiment of Life Guards, against whom a good deal of irrhation was said at that time to have been excited in the minds of the pophlaCe. The rioters kept hooting and insulting the soldiers from without, and aiso stones in a violent and dangerous manner over the I,, , ar:ack walls. At length the constables, who were stationed Withal. the blirral:s, were directed, after the Riot Act had been read, to i ;o forth.ameng the mob, and shew them that warning had been given, by placards :and whatever other .means they. - cculd,. to induce thenfto.dcsist and retire home ; while so doing, the.p:i soner was observed to be particularly active ; he was seed and heard hooting, - and the constables would prove, that while they were endeavouring to clear the road, he called out to the people, " stand, you cowards, stand ;" for so doing, they tea hint into custody, and he was now to stand his trial for his part in the riot of that day. The ;,earned Counsel then laid down the law of the case as applicable to riots, and pointed out that any man Waiting on the spc, particularly if he be found exciting rioters to prolong tumult, atter due notice of the' Itiat Act,' had incurred the penalties of the - law. He would now call his wit ness:s.—The first wits Geo. Edward Blanc—He said he was a constable stationed oh the 'day in question at the barracks, Knightibridge, Mr. Conant, the magistrate, Was there. A large mob were outside,-hooting vary much, and throwing. stones over the barrack gates. The magistrate then read the r iot Act, and witness gave notice, by holuing up a placard :to the mob. 'They still continued th;ow, ink; stones, and witness and other constables were ordered mit to disperse them. lie said that if they did not go away, the mili tary would be ordered cut. - 11 - itness believed he might have struck- the prisoner, for he did strike or push with hir., staffthese who kept - on the spot.

Ile made no resistance what ever to his caption. William Creagh, jeweller, said he was a special constable stuioned at the barracks. lie saw the people riotous and hoot ing : the prisoner was hooting.. Witness ordered him to.go on he said he Would.not, he was 'near his own home ; and he called out " stand, cowards, stand." lie went on very quietly whenL taken, nor did he make any resistance. lie said he livid dose by at his mother's, and din not mean the expressions he used to: the mob. ,Dar. WAr.tonll said that that was his case. Mr. IlAnnY said, that he was COunsel for the prisoner; but that really - he saw nothing in the case to lender it nectssary for hint to address the Jury. There-was no proof of the prisoner being riotous ; he had denied at the time the application to the mob-of the expressions, he had used :he madelio resistance ; and wa's'aettivilly carried ' away a:prisoner because he would net unit his -mother's door. where he lived., The Jury here interrupttd Mr:Barry, anasaid they were quite satisfied. A verdict of Not Guilty was immediately recorded, and th? prisoner was discharged.
