EVENING EDITION. ANOTHER ATTEMT PTO GAIN ACCESS TO HER MAJESTY AT WINDSOR CASTLE. " WIND6OIit, SATCIIDAY EVENING, NOY. 30.—Con siderable alarm and excitement was created in this town last evening in consequence of a report that a maniac had gained access to the private apartments at the Castle ; but upon making inquiries, we have been enabled to gather the following particulars : •It appears that about half-past ten yesterday even ing a respectably-dressed man got over the high iron gates leading to the Castle, opposite to the Long Walk, where no sentries have hitherto been placed. He then walked across the Park to the grand entrance to the Castle, where Smith, the porter, a trusty old servant of the establishment, was stationed. Upon seeing Smith he thus accosted him : ' I demand admittance into the Castle as the King of England.' Smith, seeing the sort of character he had to deal with, replied,' Very well, your Majesty ; but be pleased to wait till I get my hat.' The porter then retired within the lodge, and putting on his hat very quietly introduced him within the Castle, and as 1 promptly to the professional care of Mr. Russell, one of the 1 inspectors of police on duty at the Castle. He was imme diately searched, and there was found upon him various papers, 17/. 10s. in gold and silver, and a very valu able gold watch. He was then taken down to the sta tion-house, in Church-street, where he was placed un der the tare of Mr. Gillman, the superintendent during the night. "This morning he was taken to the Castle, when the Hon. C. A. Murray, the Master of the Household, requested the attendance of William Berridge, Esq. , ' the Mapes of Windsor, who promptly obeyed the sum mons, and the examination of the prisoner was pro ceeded with. The following facts were e licited :—lt appeared that the prisoner's name is John Stockledge, 1 and that he resides at Withev-green, Manchester, i n which town he is a partner in an extensive wholesale tea establishment. He has been confined in two lunatic asylums, one at Liverpool and the other at Lancaster, from the latter of which he has been but recently libe rated. He was on a journey of business, which was the cause of his leaving Manchester for London. He arrived at Windsor yesterday afternoon about throe o'clock, and, as we understood, took up his temporary abode at the New Inn- He said, in reply to a question from the Mayor, that ' he was like all other men who wanted wives ; he was looking after one'—evidently al luding to her Majesty. When asked how he managed to get into the Park at that late hour, he replied that ' he bribed the sentinel with a sovereign to let him get over.' This could not be, as no sentinel is stationed at this point. He further stated, that 'he once before got as far from Manchester towards Windsor, as Leicester, but the elements were against him, and so he returned home. " He left London by an omnibus yesterday, and thus proceeded to Hounslow, and from thence came on here in a hired gig. When he was again asked what brought him to Windsor, he replied, rather incoherently, that • he was the King of England, and was impelled by the Spirit.' He afterwards said, 'An unknown power had done it,' and that it was the Spirit which helped him over the gates.' " The examination being concluded he was sent off to London in the custody of Mr. Russell, Inspector of Po lice, who proceeded with his prisoner forthwith to the Home Office, where he will undergo a further exami nation, on Monday, before the head of the Metropolitan Police. The Hon. C. A. Murray intends to communi cate with the man's friends, in Lancashire, by to-night's post. He appears to be between 40 and 50 years of age, and of mild and unassuming manners. He answered all the questions put to him without the least hesitation or reserve, and has no appearance of viciousness about him •• We understand that he has a wife and two chil dren, who are now residing at Manchester." [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] The only error in the preceding account is the hour at which Stockledge arrived at Windsor. He did not reach the New Inn until nine o'clock on Friday night. When he alighted from the gig he paid the man who drove him from Hounslow (and who, it is supposed, somewhat imposed upon him) 135., and gave him 2s. or 3s. extra for himself. When he entered the coffee room at the New Inn, he ordered tea and cold meat, whieh were served him. He cut off a slice of meat, and a large slice of bread from the loaf, but ate not a morsel o: either. He drank several cups of tea. Having paid for his refreshment, he told the waiter that he should most probably require a bed ; that he was then going to the Castle on business ; and that if he did not sleep there, he should sleep at the New Inn. The man who drove him told Mr. Clode, the landlady, that he thought the gentleman was not in his right senses, from-his extraordinary conduct on the road, When he was taken from the Castle to the station house, which was shout eleven o'clock the same even ing, he was placed in a cell by himself ; Dobson, a ser geant of the Windsor (police, sitting up all night in an adjoining apartment, and visiting him in his cell twice every hour. Until the time that Dobson went off duty the next morning, he remained from the period he was taken to the station house, standing. About eight o'clock in the morning he laid down on the bench. His conversation during the night was on the subject of the Palace. He frequently expressed a desire to go out, saying, " I want to go to the Palace, as I want a wife. I've left my money at the Palace, and I must go for it." He further remarked, that he was " directed" to go to the Queen, and that he clambered over the iron rails and went direct to George I V.'s gateway to get into the Palace. While he was at the station-house he was supplied with coffee between eight and nine o'clock, and again at eleven ; but he refused to cat anything, although it was frequently offered him. In his pocket-hook were found several letters on business, and tea invoices of goods supplied by the firm of Tickle, Stockledge, and Co. (in which he is a partner), to their customers. It appeared that he only left Manchester on Thursday last. He was taken in the custody of Russell, the policeman, from Slough to London by the twelve o'clock train yes terday. He will be further examined at the Home-office to-day (Monday). The office of Comptroller of the Legacy Duty Department at the Stamp-office, Somerset-house, having become vacant by the retirement of the gentleman holding that situation, the Lords of the Treasury have taken advantage of the opportunity to make an Arrange ment, by which a considerable annual saving is effected, and the legal departments of the Stamps, Taxes, and Legacy Duties are consolidated and placed under one office. The following statement will more clearly explain the :abject :—The Legacy Duty Department has hitherto been conducted by a Comptroller at a salary of 1,0001. a-year, and a Solicitor, who was also styled Assistant Comptroller, with 8001. per annum. To each of these situations the Treasury might appoint any person, even though unconnected with the establishment, whom they 'night have pleased to select. But, in accordance with those principles of economy in the administration of the public expenditure by which the present Government have always been guided, they have appointed to the office of Comptroller the gentleman who held the sub ordinate situation, and whose political principles and connexions are well known to be hostile to the present Ministry ; and they have abolished the office of Solicitor and Assistant-Comptroller of the Legacy Duty Depart ment. The law business has been transferred to the Solicitor of the Stamps and Taxes, and an addition of 1001. each has been made to the salaries of that officer and of the first clerks in his department, and in the office of the Comptroller of Legacy Duties, to compen sate them for the additional labour which must devolve upon them in consequence of this arrangement, by which an actual saving has been made of 5001. per annum.— Observer. TRADE AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, FaiDAY.—We have no change of moment to note this week, either as regards goods or yarns. The markets have been without animation, and prices:much the same as stated in our last report. Perhaps, however, the or dinary numbers and qualities of mule for the Indian markets, have been in rather better request ; and prices a turn in favour of the spinner. "Short-time" is oertainly on the advance, and this may in somewise counteract the effect of the want of speculation, which is generally found to obtain (i. e. not the want of, but spe culation itself), at this period of the year.—Manchester Courier. We have seen the dice and roulette table seized by the police at the gaming-house in the Regent's Qua drant. One case of dice contains eight pair, of which six pair are falsely numbered, and so contrived as to ex clude altogether particular chances or results. The re- T loaded" two pair, though rightly numbered , are The roulette table is also constructed for robbery. These are facts which we feel it our duty to state thus openly to the public, in order that every man entering a gaming -house may be assured that he is not mere]; indulgin g in the ruinous excitement of play, but th a t he is wilfully handing himself over to a gang of professional rob bers. - --Observer.

EWSPI PER i 'l7,C,L,';.‘"'-. • / 4 ' 4 , ) NT '• L.:N. ,. ... 3 S SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAt. (From the Chronicle.) The Times returns again and again to the departure 1 from precedent in the Royal declaration, announcing her Majesty's intended marriage. " The terms of Queen Victoria's declaration," we are told, " afford just cause for public alarm. They violate precedent, and under circumstances calculated to excite a general suspicion that purposes not entertained before by any British Go vernment for at least 140 years are connected with the peculiar form of this recent declaration in the minds of those who have officially framed it." And we are again favoured with the declaration made by George 111. to his Council :- 1‘ Having nothing so much at heart as to procure the - welfare end happiness of my people, and to render the 'same stable and permanent to posterity, I have ever since my accession to the Throne, turned my thoughts towards the choke of a Princesscciu fora consort hsotrta, after ; t andl now, with great satisfaction, acquaint the fullest information and mature deliberation, I am come to a resolution to demand in marriage the Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburgh Strelitz--a Princess distin guished by every eminent virtme and amiable endowment, whose illustrious line has constantly shown the firmest zeal for the Protestant religion, and a particular attachment to my family. I have judged proper to communicate to you these my intentions, in order that you may be fully ap prised of a matter so highly important to me and to my ki n gdom, and which, I persuade myself, will be most ac ceptable to all my loving subjects." It would seem, from the care with which this declara tion is placed before the public, that the terms of it, mutatis mulandit, must be inflexibly adhered to in all cases. "No departure" is to be as much the watch word as the "No surrender" was in the sister island. The Times marks with italics the words, " whose il lustrious line has constantly shown the firmest zeal for the Protestant religion," as if to mark that no Protestantism will go down which is not inhe rited in an unbroken descent from the very com mencement of the Reformation. German nobility would be satisfied with nothing short of six teen quarters ; but for the Protestantism of an English royal marriage, sixteen quarters will not do. It must be shown that the illustrious line has constantly shown the firmest zeal for the Protestant religion. Another passage is not marked by the Times with italics ; but that we suppose is an oversight. George the Third says, " I have ever since my accession to the throne turned my thoughts towards the choice of a Princess for a consort ;" and, of course,lour Contemporary would have Queen Victoria declare, that " ever since my ac cession to the throne, I have turned my thoughts to wards the choice of a Prince for my consort." Such an avowal, it is true, might seem not very recon cileable with the modesty becoming the sex and age of our Sovereign. But what is the violation of mo desty, compared with the violation of precedent ? No. thing will satisfy the Tories but a declaration from the Queen that her thoughts have been running constantly on a husband—that this consummation has been the subject of her daily med . tations, and of her nightly dreams. Such aro the absurdities in which we should be involved by an adherence to precedent. The people of England and Scotland are strongly attached to the Pro testant religion, and firmly impressed with the belief that that religion would be in danger were a Roman Catholic on the throne, or a Roman Catholic the Con sort of the Sovereign. Were they to see the slightest ground for doubting the sincerity of the Protestantism of her Majesty's Consort, they would be justified in giving expression to their apprehensions, that the danger might be averted while it was yet time. But they are fully aware that, in this case, ground for doubt or sus picion there can be none. The Protestantism of Prince Albert, and his illustrious line, is as much a matter of notoriety as the sun at noon-day. Prince Albert is not only a Protestant, but directly descended from the first Protestant Prince. His ancestor, John Frede rick the Great, Elector of Saxony, secured to Europe the blessing of the Reformation. The family fought for the Protestant religion, and, having lost their dominions in that great cause, the constant spectacle of a Catholic Prince ruling over Saxony was not calculated to moderate their zeal for Protestant or their repugnance to Catholicism. In fact, even when the fortunes of the Cobourg branch were at the lowest, and necessity com pelled members of the family to seek employment under Catholic Austria, there is not an instance of a change of religion ; though conversions from Protestantism to Catholicism have been by no means unfrequent with the German Princes. But we are told to " look at the qnestions of mixed marriages, and the education of chil dren the issue of mixed marriages, throughout the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and Russia. Do not the discussions of these questions threaten with danger the Protestant interests in Europe ?" But what have we to do with the question of mixed marriages ? Mixed marriages have taken place in Germany, ever since the peace of Westphalia. under various arrangements. Till the late mis understanding between the King of Prussia and the Archbishop of Cologne, princes and subjects ap peared to have laid aside all jealousy on account of re ligion. The Protestant people of Saxony have, for nearly three hundred years, been under a Catholic Prince ; and the Catholics of Silesia have always been among the most faithful subjects of Prussia. But, in England, the intended marriage is not mixed ; and, whether the people of the Continent do well or il ie tolerating mixed marriages in Royal houses, the case does not affect us. The Protestantism of both parties is beyond even the breath of suspicion. Are we to frame our Roy al declarations, net with reference to our own affairs, but the affairs of other countries ? What ground can there possibly be for suspicion that any purposes were contemplated by the declaration to which an ex ception may be taken by the most rigid Protestant 's But it is not enough that Prince Albert is a Pro testant, and that the line of descent from the Re formation downwards has been uninterruptedly Protes tant ; it is necessary that none of his relations should ever have changed their religion, or suffered their children to be educated in another. "Oa the part of the family. it would be desirable to have their assur ante that they were one and all attached to the Pro testant interest ; that in case any mixed marriagesibad been made by them, there has beon no surrender of conscientious Protestant scruples either to convenience or ambition respecting the education of the issue of such marriages." This is carrying jealousy a great way. We fear there are few princely families of Europe who could comply with this new Tory test. The en forcing such a test would literally debar Queen Victoria from marriage altogether. It used to he said of the Ger man Princes, that, in order that religion might be no bar to disposing of their daughters, they taught them no re ligion whatever, so that they might adopt the reli gion of any husband, whether Catholic or Protestant. There has, at all events, been a great interchange be tween the Catholic and Protestant Princes in the way of marriage. so that there is hardly a Prince who could show that every branch of his family has either pro fessed the same religion, or entered into no marriage in which the children were brought up in a religion diffe rent from his own. But really this is sad cavilling. The intended husband of our Queen is a Protestant, and the nation knows that he is a Protestant ; and the most determined Protestant can have no ground for appre hension from the marriage. Of what earthly consequence can it be to the people of Britain, as far as the security of Protestantism is concerned, whether the religion of the intended consort is alluded to or not ? The Royal declaration would neither have added to nor strengthened the security which depends exclusively on the religion of Prince Albert, and not on the declaration itself. That declaration leaves the religion of the Prince where it was. (From the Times.) Ever since the publication of Adjutant-General Sir John Macdonald's letter of the 20th of November, conveying from Lord Hill, as Commander-in-Chief, a sharp reproof to Colonel Thomas and the other officers of the army who attended the dinner of the Conserva tive Association at Ashton-under-Line, we have been waiting, not without curiosity, to see what correspond ing manifesto would be issued by Lord Minto for the guidance of the navy. Observe the tenor of Sir John Macdonald's missive. He addresses it to Sir Charles Napier, the Major-Gen. commanding the district in which Ashton is situate, and desires him to convey to Col. Thomas and the other officers present at that meeting the expression of Lord Hill's "most pointed and de cided displeasure, reminding them, that as military servants, they are bound to confine themselves to their military duties, and that when they thus ven ture to connect themselves with any party associa tion, under any circumstances or upon any pretence whatsoover, they incur a heavy responsibility, and ex pose themselves to the heaviest blame." Lord Hill thinks it scarcely necessary to add, that the prohibition to attend party meetings, in their military capacity (except when on duty and in aid of the civil authorities of the country), applies to the officers of the army at large." We entertain no manner of doubt that the at tendance of officers of the army, of a oranybody else, at any Conservative meeting, is very disagreeable to the Ministers, and very unsatisfactory to the Court But, if the practice be a dangerous and unconstitu tional one, how is it that Government themselves had thought proper to take the benefit of it not one fort night before the Ashton meeting! Ay, the Ashton meeting, at 3 wh t i h e h of Colonel oeetbe r ;Tahnodm onlyas attend ed,before took place on the 30th imt,eounththdn einl7etrh, price ofthe 3. very s6 d ~ same he l d m ,o,nftohr, the at wPeofretis,-.1 purpose of celebrating the return of the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the late election fo r Portsmouth, and of enabling the Reformers of the town to demon strate their attachment to the cause of progressive re form," there were present, aiding and abetting the pro ceedings, as a Baring partisan, and a .` progressive re former" that distinguished naval champion o f old Eng land's l w an h d a ' t s ev w e o r o o d t e h n e W higgery, Admiral Fleming.

The wife said—" They want to catch you because you made those things ; but never mind, nobody saw you make them. We had enough of trouble about the Chartists without this." The prisoner said he was not guilty of being with the Chartists. passages of his career. But perhaps he wa s there in a private capacity, as a personal con nexion of Mr. Baring, or as a gentleman of pro perty in Portsmouth. By no means. He was there as an Admiral, and as the Admiral commanding on the spot. He gave thanks on behalf of the naval service, " to which," said he, " I have the honour to belong, and which I have the honour to command at this port." Now, there is some use to a party in such a friend as this. He does not come to a general meeting, ' like Colonel Thomas, with the mere influence belonging to the expenditure of a private gentlemen; but he comes to a party of the Whig Member's constituents, with the importance attaching to the Government expenditure at its disposal. It is not a mere expression of feeling—it is an indication of something a * (Treat deal more substan tial and valuable to a seeker of household suffrages in a town of little tradesmen. What a floe thing it is to be a Whig and to help the Whigs ! Had Admiral Fle ming been a Conservative soldier, attending an assembly of gentlemen of the like opinions, he would have been visited from the Horse Guards with a reprimand for the past and a prohibition for the future. But, being a Whig sailor, under an Admiralty regulated by Lord Minto, he is not only unreproved for his political convi vialities, but placed and pensioned in the comfortable berth of Greenwich Hospital. (From the Morning Post.) The extravagance of rancour and violence on the part of the advocates of the present Government is proportionate to their weakness as a political body. They are obliged to content themselves with railing, faute d'autre chose ; and, because so very few persons of common sense and honesty can afford them a good word, they resolve to compensate themselves by ut tering as many bad words as they can against their opponents. But this is, after all, but very poor work ; for, at the very best, it is no better than the party , writing described by Swift, which was put forth, he said, " not with a view of convincing their adversaries, but to raise the spirsts of their friends, recal their strag glers, and unite their numbers by sound and impu dence, as bees assemble and cling together by the noise of brass." Now, suppose it should have that effect, what would it be after all ? Suppose the Ministerial party, by their " noise of brass," should bring to gether ail their friends and even all their stragglers ; there they are with a bare numerical majo rity—just a turning of the scale in one of the Houses of Parliament—while they know right well, and the public are becoming day by day more alive to the fact—that the very dross, refuse, sweepings of the senatorial body—the meanest, most abject, most disre putable of the characterless crowd who get into the House of Commons, must be counted in by Ministers, in order to obtain this bare numerical majority. This is the very utmost which her Majesty's Ministers can hope for ; do they think it consistent with the honour of their sovereign or with the safety of the empire to attempt to go on under such circumstances? We are very sure they Cannot think any such thing. No one of even moderate sense and information can think so. But we are not left to conjecture. Ministers themselves declared last May that it was no longer safe or honourable for them to proceed with such Parliamentary support as they were reduced to. It is true that notwithstanding that confession they have still struggled on upon the strength of an additional demonstration of personal favour at Court ; but no such favour can supply the place of Parliamentary confidence, unless the whole scheme of British Government is to be changed. It is not pos sible to make such a change without either an alteration of the fundamental laws which constitute the theory of Government, or a process of impudent trick and delu sion, by which these fundamental laws may be virtually set at naught, while they are still not only suffered to exist upon the statute-book, but still live in the minds of the British people—the objects of their familiar re cognition—the understood securities of their religious and political rights and privileges. How, then, can the Ministers be ignorant that, in standing upon Royal pre ference instead of upon the support of Parliament and the public, they are acting with the blackest ingra titude towards the very person who favours them ? How can they fail to perceive that they are repaying the kind ness of personal preference with an indulgence of them selves more dangerous to the Monarchy than any oppo sition could possibly be ? How can they suppose that they do their duty to the Crown when they set it in opposition to Parliamentary and public feeling, and run the hazard of the conflict? Were it not better to counsel the Sovereign to agree with Parliament and the public, even at the sacrifice of their own places, and her Majesty's personal predilections, than to continue to make the influence and station of the Crown their own shelter when Parliament distrusts and the public scorns them ? If the Sovereign were a King, of mature years and of large experience, the re sposibility of Ministers in such a case wou,d neither be so deep nor so delicate. But as it is, the Sovereign, aowever well-intentioned, and however amiable, cannot know the danger which the Monarchy incurs by the preference . of political advisers whom Parliament and the public do not. prefer. It is, indeed, very possible end most probable, from the way in which the Minis ters and their connections block up every avenue to her Majesty's presence, that her Majesty is not al ' lowed the means of knowing how much the public ' differ from her Majesty as to the merits of those The prisoner, in his defence, made the following state ment :—" I am perfectly free from the charge, for which I thank God. I had drank a great deal of beer on that day, and one and the other kept questioning me, and I might have said some thing to put them on their guard as well as myself. It was on Saturday that I first heard the Chartists intended to rise. On the Sunday I went to my brother's house to learn whether it was true or not, and I asked him if he and my other brothers would go with me to Llang)inthan to prevent the Chartists from forcing us along with them. I and my brothers, and three other men, went off at three o'clock on the Sunday evening, and I knew nothing at all about it till last night. I never have been in any lodge, and was never asked to make arms for them. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial on the capital charge. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow. FURTHER EXAMINATION OF PRISONERS. SATURDAY.—The Magistrates commenced their sit tings at half-past one o'clock. The prosecutions were conducted by Mr. Phelps. Griffith Evans, John Williams, and John Fisher, were placed at the bar on the charge of high treason. Some immaterial evidence having been brought for ward, Mr. Phelps said he did not think the evidence suffi ciently strong against the prisoner John Williams ; he should therefore withdraw the charge against him, but before he did so he would state that he was Secretary of one of the Chartist lodges. The Magistrates, after advising him to withdraw him self from the s ecretaryship, discharged him. Mr. Phelps stated that the charge of treason could not be sustained against the prisoner John Fisher, there being but one witness who could prove his being with the mob armed. He should therefore make a fresh charge against him for conspiracy. The prisoner was then bound over in the sum of 501. to answer any charge that may be brought against him at the next gaol delivery. The prisoner Griffith Evans was then remanded for two hours for further examination. John Batton was charged with being armed for an illegal purpose, being with persons armed for an illegal purpose, and creating a riot. The evidence was uninteresting. Being unprovided with bail he was committed to prison for trial. The following prisoners were then severally brought up, and there being no evidence against them they were discharged :—Edward Davies, John Hemming, Abra ham Lewis, William Smith, David Edwards, George Cooper, Samu el Beecher, James Williams, William \Williams, John Williams. Griffith Evans, who was this day remanded, was again remanded in consequence of the absence of wit nesses until Wednesday next. The Court then adjourned until Wednesday next. THE ARMY. STATIONS.

We very much question th:it her Majesty knows at this moment how her Prime Minister was assailed with the unequivocal expression of public detestation and scorn, when he ventured to rise in the Guildhall of London on a late occasion. Thus the Ministers undertake to brave everything on the part of the Monarchy, They are the Sovereign, and they venture to go on with such support as, even at the best, can be no better than that which they have themselves declared to be such as Ministers ought not to deem sufficient upon which to conduct the Government. May it not be considered at least probable that some " strag glers" will see enough of this state of things to resolve upon keeping away from the Ministerial group, notwith standing the " sound of brass" by which they are now invited to assemble and cling together ? RIOTS AT NEWPORT. NEWPORT, SATURDAY NIGIIT.—I send you the ex aminations of yesterday up to the close of to-night. There were several prisoners discharged to-day, and w'• may begin to hope that this long investigation is drawing to a close. The Magistrates were, however, this more ing engaged before the Court opened in taking deposi tions against persons not now in custody, so that sonve fresh arrests may be expected. In some of the papers yesterday there is a statement that. fresh outbreaks are expected in the country. I have it from the very best authority that there is not the least appearance of anything of the kind. The only thing that keeps up the least excitement amor.gst the men is the fear of being apprehended. The following bill has just been issued : NEWPORT RIOTS.

" By order of the Magistrates. " Newport, Monmouthshire, Nov. 29, 1839." THE EXAMINATIONS. FIIDAT.—The Court sat at eleven o'clock this morn ing, when the following Magistrates were present : The Mayor (J. Hawkins, Esq.), the Rev. James Coles, G. Hall, 0. Morgan, W. Brewer, and T. Fothergill, Esqrs._ _ _ Professional gentlemen present :—Messrs. Phelps, T. J. Phillips, and W. F. Geach. Mr. Phelps conducted the prosecutions, and Mr. Geach defended the prisoners. The first prisoner charged was Edward Tippins, but as there was only one witness present to prove his treason, and the law requires the evidence of two wit nesses to the same : ;. overt act, the ,Magistrates dis charged him. Henry Harris was then placed at the bar, charged with high treason and sedition, but the evidence not being sufficiently strong, he was discharged with an ad monition from the bench. John Owen was next placed at the bar, charged with high treason and sedition. John Thomas, sworn—l am a miner at the Beaufort works. I remember the Sunday before the riots. I know the prisoner. I know David Jones, the shoe maker. I went with him to Llanfynder. We were in formed the Chartists were going to rise, and we ran away from them on that night. We went to chapel before we went to Llanfynder. We went to a beer house called the Lion. I saw the prisoner there. He is a blacksmith. He had before him a table, on which were drawn three formsrof Chartist pikes. David Jones asked him what that was. The prisoner said it was the form of the Chartist pikes, and that he had made three of them, which he had taken up to the Rasal_lodge, and had a shilling each for them. David Jones asked him how he could have the conscience to make such things. The prisoner said he was forced to do it, and h e s h ou ld d o very well if the Chartists gained the victory at Brecon, as he could run his pike into a sheep, and get some blood on it, and show that he had been with them. I did not get home till the Monday morning. - David Jones,-a shoemaker, having been sworn, con firmed the statements of the last witness.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1839. 60th—The draft of the first battalion, consisting of one I captain, two second lieutenants, two sergeants, and 125 rank and file, now on route rrom the head-quarters of the depot at Birr for Fermoy, is ordered not to be embarked for some time. As the first battalion has been ordered home, the detachment which was directed to be held in readiness for the service companies is not to be sent out. 61st—The service companies, according to the last ad vices, were at Colombo, and had sold their regimental library to the 18th. 69th—A company is ordered to march from head quarters (Youghal) to Dung arvan, and occupy barracks. The depot will shortly proceed from Youghal to Cork. A recruiting party is ordered to march from the head quarters of the depot at Youghal to the recruiting depot at Cork, to be provided with a passage, per steamer, to Glasgow on route to Aberdeen. 70th—A draft, consisting of one captain, four lieute nants, three ensigns, three sergeants, and 100 rank and file, marched from the head-quarters of the depot, under the command of Major Reed, at Templemore, on Wed nesday, to arrive this day, until required at Cork, to await conveyance to join the service companies in the West Indies. 73d—Accounts from the regiment at London, Upper Canada, have been received to the 25th of October. Col. Love, C. 8., who commands a long extent of the fron tier, had gone on a tour of inspection, attended by Lieut. Baker, as acting aid-de-camp. 82d—A detachment embarked from Portsmouth dockyard in the Messenger steamer on Sunday last, and were then put on board the Barretto Junior, transport, for passage to the Mediterranean. 90th—The latest letters left this corps at Kandy, to which place the Governor had changed his residence from Colombo, 97th—In consequence of ophthalmia prevailing in this corps at Newbridge it is in a non-effective state, and can not be removed, as intended, to Athlone. 99th—A company at Longford, and another at Mullin gar, are ordered to be withdrawn, and join head-quarters at Athlone, Nov. 29 and 30. Royal Artillery—The barrack sergeants have been or dered to provide themselves with an uniform at their own expense, to be worn after the Ist of January, 1840. The dress is to be the same as that worn by the sergeants of the Royal Artillery, with the exception of the shoulder straps and the stripes down the side of the trousers. Royal Marines—The detachment lately belonging to the Medea have marched for head-quarters, the vessel having been paid off. The detachments of Marines from the ships of the squadron had been twice landed at Vourla previous to the 10th instant, for the purpose of drill, consisting of 1,280 rank and file, and, includ ing officers, non-commissioned officers, drummers, Sce., amounted in all to upwards of 1,400 men, divided into two battalions of 10 companies, 32 files in each company, and formed into a brigade under the command of the senior officer of Marines, Captain Marler, the two next Captains in seniority commanding the two battalions. On this sub ject the Mediterraneo says :—" Will it he believed, when wa state that there is not a single field-officer embarked to conduct this large body of men when landed, and that only six companies out the 20 had Captains, the remaining 14 having subalterns in lieu attached to them ? Now the same brigade of troops of the line would in all probability have been attended by a Brigadier-General, two Lieute nant-Colonels, four Majors, twenty Captains, and a pro portionate number of Subalterns. We have no hesitation in affirming that it is not only neglectful, but meat unjust to so valuable a corps as the Marines in keeping there so deplorably short of officers, particularly field-officers ; and as we are not entirely ignorant of military affairs, we are decidedly of opinion that the most effective way to remedy this glaring evil is to form them into battalions, as is the case with the Royal Artillery."

(From the Haniphire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 30.—The Revenge, 78, Captain the Hon. W. Waldegrave, destined for Lisbon, is at Spithead, only waiting for a favourable wind to proceed thither. The Revenge takes out a draft of second-class boys for the Lisbon station. The Rolla, 10, sailed on Saturday from Plymouth, for the Cape of Good Hope ; and the Pantaloon, 10, on Monday, for the north coast of Spain. The Pique, 36, Captain Boxer, returned from Sheer ness on Tuesday, and came into harbour on Thursday to be docked. She is to remain in commission, but those officers and seamen who have served in her three years are to be discharged if they desire to leave ; she will be taken into the dock at this moment occupied by the Madagascar, which, being nearly re-coppered, will vacate it in a day or two. The Blenheim, 72, left Lisbon on the 16th, on a short cruise ; report says she is to return to England. The Winchester, 52, and Cleopatra, 28, left Halifax for Bermuda on the 20th October. Tile Menai yacht schooner, Lord Francis Egerton, left Marseilles on a cruise on the 18th inst. The Swift packet arrived at Falmouth on Saturday -54 days from Vera Cruz and 34 from Havannah, with a freight of 690,000 dollars. The Commander and ship's company had all more or less suffered from fever ; one of the crew died. The Blonde, 42, Captain Bourchier, is manning fast in this harbour. It is understood she is to proceed to the East Indies. The Pembroke, 72, may be soon expected at this port to pay off. The Talavera, 72, has been ordered to Plymouth for paying off. __ - The Excellent, in this harbour, is now fitting with a moveable platform for gunnery practice, for the purpose of training seamen to hit a mark from a ship in motion. A Correspondent inquires whether, dispensing with this platform, the object desired might not be much better attained by stationing the Excellent at Spithead ? Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., arrived here on Wednesday evening, and on the following morning hoisted his flag on board the Britannia, 120 (which was saluted by the Victory,) as Commander-in Chief at this port, in the room of Admiral the Hon. Charles Elphinstone Fleeming, appointed to the Go vernorship of Greenwich Hospital. The Barretto Junior, transport, Lieutenant Lugg, Agent, sailed on Wednesday, with recruits, for the West Indies. The Mangles convict ship sailed the same day for Sydney. The Dutch transport Batavia, from Rotterdam, with troops for the Dutch settlements on the African coast, and for Batavia, put in here on Sunday. The fine packet-ship Philadelphia, Captain Morgan, arrived on Monday, fiom New York, and landed Joseph Bonaparte and suite, being the third time he has crossed the Atlantic in the same packet, with Captain Morgan, giving him the decided preference from his knowledge of his excellent seamanship and general good management of his ship ; and, as a last ing remembrance of his friendship and regard for Cap rain Morgan, has presented him with a most splendid gold dessert service. In Harbour—Britannia, Victoria, Excellent, Royal George, Blonde, Pique, and Messenger (steamer). At Spithead—Revenge. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.—Captains—J. W. Montague, to the Britannia ; Horatio Thomas Austin, to the Cyclops. Seoretary—Benjamin Chirac:lo, Esq., Purser, R.N., to be Secretary to Admiral Sir E. Codrington. Lieutenants—H. J. W. S. P. Galwey, to the Pique, vice Boyle, superseded ; Sidney Grenfell, to the Cyclops ; Augustus H. Ingram, to the Blonde ; Charles Foreman Brown (son of the late Admiral Brown, who died in command on the Jamaica station), to be Flag Lieutenant to Admiral Sir E. Godrington. Purser—James Pinhorn, to the Cyclops. GIBRALTAR, Nov. 15.—1 t is a matter of much con versation and surprise that the fortifications here are suffered to go into decay. The wall between the new Mole and Ragged Staff is literally tumbling down in large pieces, no steps being taken to repair it, for the want, it is said, of hands here for that purpose. If a few hundred convicts were here, they might be advan tageously employed in thiswork, which must be regarded as one of much importance. The garrison at present is very weak ; two hundred mount guard every day ; the men, therefore, never get two nights in bed. The Tala vera, 72, arrived here yesterday from Malta, on her way to England ; the Am er i can li ne - o f-b a ttl e ship Ohio sailed yesterday for Port Mahon ; and the Wasp, 16, sails to-day for Tangiers. The Xarifa yacht (with Earl and Countess of Wilton, &c. on board) is here, and on the point of proceeding to Naples. The Merlin schooner yacht (Captain Lyon), on her arrival here, is to sail to the West Indies. MALTA, Nov. 16.—The Weazle, which, after un dergoing a thorough refit, and taking in four months' provisions, was on the point of proceeding to the coast of Spaiu, received orders on Thursday evening, and sailed at daylight on the following morning for Cortu. The Hydra arrived on Sunday, from Vourla Bay, whence she sailed on the 7th instant, at which date the fleet under Sir Robert Stoplord was still at that an chorage in two columns, leaving out the Hastings and the Daphne refitting ; the latter preparatory to going to Smyrna, where she will be stationed. The Edin burgh joined from Malta on the 3d, bringing four months' provisions for the fleet. The Confiance steamer arrived here yesterday, with despatches from Admiral Stopford, having left Vourla Bay on the 10th instant. She brings the intelligence that the Turkish fleet was on its way from Alexandria to Constantinople. The Minden and Pembroke arrived to-day from Vourla Bay and are to proceed to England. The Acorn left this place on the 14th instant, for Gibraltar, with mails for England. The Blazer, it is expected, will convey to Alexan dria the London mails of the 4th December for India and Egypt. She will have to repair the damage she sustained by being run foul of, at the same moment, by two French steam-ships of war shortly after leaving Marseilles. This unaccountable collision might have been attended with the most fatal consequences. Her foreyard was carried away and starboard paddle-box stove in. The Volcano arrived here on the 14th instant, from Gibraltar, with the London mails of the 30th of Oc tober. . The following changes have been effected ; Lieute nant Lilburn of the Daphne, with Lieutenant Grey, of the Vanguard ; Lieut. St uar t, o f the Pembroke, with Lieut. Russell, of the Vanguard. Lieut Fitzjames has not effected an exchange from the Ganges, as was re ported. Both Captain Moresby, of the Pembroke, and Captain Austen, of the Bellerophon, are endea vouring to effect an exchange with Captain Harvey, of EVENING EDITION, SCOTTISH HOSPITAL• On Saturday, St. Andrew's Day, the 174th anniver-. sary festival of this meritorious charity was celebrated at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street. Mr. Robert Stewart, M.P., presided, and on his right the Hon. Gentleman was supported by Colonel Aitchison, and on his left by Mr. Chisholm of Chisimlin. About I'2o gentlemen sat down to dinner. Early in the afternoon a General Court of the Cor poration was holden for the purposes ,of appointing the officers for the ensuing year, and filling uo the vacancie s which had occurred in the committees of relief and the Kinloch bequest. The Kinloch bequest was given in trust to the Hospital for the purpose of granting annui ties to 500 soldiers and sailors who had been wounded in the service of their country, and it amounted orginaliy to 72,000/. Of this munificent donation it was stated that a sum of about 60,0001. still remained in hand. From the financial report, read• by the Secretary of the institution, it appeared that relief to the amours: of nearly 18,0001. had been distributed amongst the Scot tish poor in the metropolis during the past year, and. a sum of 1,7541., was voted for the same purpose for the ensuing twelve months. Thanks were then voted to the Duke of Sutherland , the President of the Society, for his late munfficenc3 to the charity, and regret was expressed that indisposition should have been the cause of the absence of his Grace on that occasion. Due acknowledgment was also made to the Rev. Dr. Crombie, the Chaplain of the institution, fcr his constant and unremitting exertions on behalf oi the Society, and the other formal business having been uisposed of, the Court separated until the time of dialer.

This chest, as the story goes, is constantly watched by a crow, who hovers over it, and the said chest can never be dis covered till a clergyman preaches a sermon so long en. the mountain that the crow becomes exhausted , and then fall on the precise spot where the chest is hid. It so happened that a reverend gentleman, with strong and sound lungs, preached on the top of the mountain one summer's day, so long that the crow descended gradually but just as the bird was within a few inches of th e h earth the parson was seized with a fit of sneezing, whic h the thread of his discourse, and the crow ...I stan tly as cended, and the treasure has never since been d iscovered. INCENDIARISM.—We are sorry to have occa sion to advert to a diabolical act of this description, which took place in the parish of Wins combe, last roke Monday evening. A wheat rick, the property o f Far mer Young, who also keeps Woodburrow Inn, in the above parish, standing in an open field some distance from the house, was discovered to be on fire about seven .. o'clock, and soon afterwards the whole was destr o y ed.
