Usually employed in courting the favour of the people, con- Sider that, at this rate, your representatives have six years for offence, and but one for atoncwent.—A death-bed re- Peutanee seldom reaches to restitution." To the people of England, then, we say, ill the language of the same great writer, "tile inattention or indifference of the nation has con tinued too long. You are roused at length to a sense of your danger. The remedy is in your Power,"—and the crime and the consequences will rest with you, if you fail to employ it. " When you leave the unimpaired hereditary freehold to your children, you do but half your duty. Both liberty and property are precarious, unless the posseasors have sense and spirit enough to defend them." We are extremely happy to find that the ad mirable letter which appeared in this Journal on Monday last, with the signature of " Tx LT. LENSis," has been printed in a separate form, and has attracted much attention among the 1 Members of the House of Commons. The author has made considerable additions to it, which we look upon as great improvements, particularly the notes, which are very curious. One of the grounds on which he objects to the union of Orkney and Zetland is, that their in terests are in many points at variance. This he illustrates in the following manner : " If it should by any accident happen that a Reformed Parliament should take it into its head to look into the corn question, the Member for Orkney and Zetland will find himself in a very awkward predicament. M Orkney is a grower, and Zetland a consumer, of corn : it is the interest of the one to sell clear, of the other to buy cheap. Whit will the Him. Member do? One half of him is bound to vote for the producer, the other for the con. sumer. The only way that the two halves can extricate themselves front this dilemma is, to pair off and neutralize each other." Having proved by arguments which we con fess appear to us unanswerable, that Zetland has a far stronger claim to a separate representative than either Peebles or Selkirk, whose united po pulation when doubled scarcely exceeds that of Zetland, and having shown that the population of the latter county is superior to twelve out of the fourteen districts of boroughs, and four times as large as some of them, he thus proceeds " Is not Zetland then entitled to some consideration ? But these boroughs have representatives through whom, like the clamorous daughters of the horse-leech, they are continually crying, 'give, give,' and your Lordship very good-naturedly give..—all get something in the general scramble except Zetland ; it it is no representative, and therefore it is to get none—it is left to fulfil the Scripture, Tu bins that bath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken even that which he bath.' " The author winds up the whole with the fol lowing 'powerfully affecting appeal:— " My Lord, there is a long arrear of justice due from the British Government to these unfortunate islands, and now is the time to pay it up. When they were originally F led to th e S co tti s h Crown, it was humanely stipulated their former Sovereign, that they should continue to enjoy their own free and simple institutions ; and these institutions stand to this day guaranteed to them by unre pealed Acts of the Scottish Parliament. But Scotland, in stead of taking them to her maternal bosom, treated them like a cruel stepmother. She surrendered them into the hands of a succession of needy and rapacious tyrants, who, far removed from all control, exercised over the miserable inhabitants a despotism more cruel, more barbarous, more unrelentingly savage, than ever was realized on earth— except in Ireland. The last of these tyrants was Patrick Stuart, Earl of Orkney, and Lord of Zetland, who seems to have concentrated in himself the essence of all the vices of all the Stuarts. Could I describe to your Lord chip, as they ought to be described, the deeds of this man, or rather this fiend in human form, it would make you shudder with horror. Your Lordship may imagine to what extent he carried his atrocities, from the fact, that though a near relative of the reigning Sovereign, and that Sovereign not proverbially rigorous in punishing provincial tyranny, he expiated on the scaffold the crimes which he had committed in Zetland ; and the only defence he made was, that he bad done no more than his father bad done be fore him ! This execrable wretch has long gone to his own place, and the place of his father. But oppression does not always die with the oppressor. The Zetland islands are still suffering from the effects of his de linquency; and they will continue to suffer, unless your Lordship gives them a separate representative. The Zetlanders have hitherto been excluded from all share in the representation; but, considering the footing on which the elective franchise has been hitherto placed, th ey have no cause, in my opinion, to regret their exclusion. If their country is not so liberally provided with roads and bridges as other parts of Scotland are, they cannot be accused of having participated in the public plunder. If they have received no patronage for their sons, they cannot be charged with the degradation of having sacrificed on the altar of self•interest those rights Which are given, and which ought to be exercised only for the public good. Now, however, when a new era is commencing, and they are for the first time to be admit. ted within the pale of the British Constitution, they had reason to hope that that admission would have conferred upon them something more than the 'shadow of repre sentation. If, however, your Lordship and your illus trious colleagues will not grant them this boon, in mercy leave them as they are. They cannot brook to be yoked in mockery to the triumphal car of Ork ney. This, nay Lord, this is to them the bitterest drop in that bitter cup which has been their portion ever since they became the subjects of the Scottish Crown. With Orkney they have no sympathy, and they never can have any cordiality ; and although the words of an Act of Parliament may chain the two pro vinces together, yet in every thing that constitutes union, civil, social, or political, they must ever be, as they have ever been, utter and entire strangers." We have no hesitation in saying we think this as clever a brochure as has issued from the press for a long time. Independently of the importance of the question which it discusses, its literary merits will amply repay perusal. The Scotch Reformers are very naturally in dignant with an obnoxious clause, that appears to have been slily smuggled into the Reform Bill for that country, to the effect, that no per son, except the eldest son or heir presumptive of any Peer of Parliament, shall be eligible to re present any county or burgh, or district of burgh s in Scotland, who shall not be the pro prietor of a landed or heritable estate, in some part of Great Britain or Ireland, of the value of six hundred pounds a year for the represen tative of a county, and three hundred pounds a year for the representative of a burgh or district of burghs. A meeting has already been held on this subject in Edinburgh, in which some strong resolutions were pro posed and agreed to, and the example will, we trust, be promptly followed by the whole of Scotland. Alluding to the clause in question, th e New North Briton observes with much sense and spirit, th e" There never was a more compl e t e p i ece of trickery in dark annals of state trickery. The effect of this clause would be to confine the choice of the electors of Scotland to a privileged grade of individuls for their re presentatives--the land-owners of the empire —a most important class of the community, no doubt, but by no means the sole depositaries of all of the wealth, and worth, and talent, and intelligence of the country. The pro ject in itself is vicious and intolerable ; but the time of its proposed introduction, and the certain effects of its adoption, all tend to give it a character of infamy sur passing any thing in the vil e practices of the enemies of Reform during the wh o l e of the painful discussions Which have taken place on the Bills. It came upon us here like a thunder clap. The gist draught of the Scotch bill contained a qualification for county Members, that t hey should be possessed of 500/. of yearly income arising from land ; but not one word did it contain as to the re presentatives of burghs. Even this clause was dropped from all the subsequent editions of the Bill ; and such a limitation of the rights of the electors of Scotland as that which is now threatened, has never been once whis pered, or hinted at, or alluded to, in all the Parlia mentary discussions which have taken place since the last elections. We do not know whom we have to thank for this precious proposal, but up to this hour we have no thanks assuredly to offer to our Scotch members for• not giving timely warning to the country ; and the day is not far distant when every man among them must give an ex planation for himself on the subject. For the present, we will not blame any individuals, although we bear Sir George Clerk is the chosen organ of this disgraceful manoluvre—and the Lord Advocate, we are told by his friends, has done everything in his power to prevent it, but despairs ul he:ng able to resist the coa lesced powers of Scotch conservatists, and English preju dices, and Ministerial influence, all combined, it is ru• moured, for the purpose of cirrying through this most ob noxiousclause by a coup d'etat." It is with sincere pleasure we learn that the electors of Lambeth have proposed Mr. TEN NYSON as a representative for that borough, and that, in the event of the Right Hon. Gentleman acceding to the nomination, there is not the slightest doubt of his success. Mr. TENNYSON is a tried and veteran reformer, and the choice of such a man does credit to the patriotism and sa gacity of the Lambeth electors. Had not Stam ford been allowed to continue in the power of the Marquess of EXETER, Mr. TENNYSON would again have been returned for that borough. The public cannot forget that Mr. TENNYSON was among the foremost to propose the extension of the franchise to all the great manufacturing towns. It was generally expected that the ordinance for the siege of Paris would be rescinded to-day . The Moniteur contradicts the rumours of war, and the French Funds have improved. For other particulars we refer to the French Papers. We have news from Lisbon to the 17th inst., at which time nothing had been seen of DON PEDRO'S expedition. We may infer, however, from the terror of the usurper that an immediate descent on the coast was apprehended. Indeed the only wonder is that DON PEDRO has not already landed : but a day or two may bring news of the expedition having reached either Lisbon or Oporto. We know that despatches have been forwarded from Ply mouth three days ago, for Don PEDRO—on the coast of Portugal. OFFICIAL.-DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTI- CAL AFFAIRS AND JUSTICE. " LISBON, JUNE 11.—Most Illustrious and Excellent Sir,—Having received information that the rebels who are in the islands of the Azores, really intend shortly to attempt the insane awl rash enterprise of attacking Por tugal, and though the very great superiority of our forces and of our resources in all respects, and justice and sacredness of the cause which the defend, which is that of religion, of the throne, and of the independence of Portu gal, as well as the especial favour with which Divine Providence has constantly supported our august, legiti mate, and adored sovereign Don Miguel 1., however, as an indubitable triumph over the iniquity of our enemies, yet, as it is proper not to neglect any means of perverting and repulsing the revolu tionary attempts which the wicked think to pro mote, his Majesty is pleased to direct that your Excel lency, in observance of the orders which you have already received, shall again recommend to the local magistrates subordinate to you to employ all the means and precau tions in their power which may conduce to the attainment of the above objec, and your Excellency will enjoin them to take care to refute and to prevent the spreading of false and alarming reports, which the wicked, knowing that falsehood is the arm of the weak, endeavour to circulate ; for though such accounts are but little credited, because they have always been found to be false, they yet trouble the minds of some who are more credulous and less on their guard. God preserve your Excellency. " Palace of Cachias, 10th June, 1832. - " LUIZ DE PAULA, " Furtado de Castro de Rio de Mendoca. " To Senor Joaquiin Gomez da Silva Belfort."

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATUR DAY.—The inquiry for cotton during the week has been very considerable from the trade, and some business has also been transacted on speculation. The advance in price consequent upon the improved demand is d. per lb. upon all qualities of American cotton, but the alteration is most observable in the middling and common kinds of Uplands and Mobiles, which have been very generally in request. In Brazils there is no change as to price, but more facility in making sales at last week's quotations. 3,000 Ameri cans and 3,000 Pernams have been taken on speculation during the week, and 500 Americans for exports. The sales of the week amount to 25,600 bag!, and the imports to 17,917. To•day's cotton transactions are estimated at 1,500 bales, and comprise 200 Braat, Pernams at 9d., Maranbama lid. to Bid., 40 Egyptians Bd. to 88d., 20 Demerarasld., 20 Sur its bid., and 1,200 American descriptions from 61(1. to 7d. The conservative clique on Carlton -terrace, notwithstanding their activity and the weight of their purses, chiefly wrung from the hard earnings of the people, in their attempt to overpo - ver and corrupt the honest voters, at the ensuing election, are sadly afraid lest they should not be able to provide seats for their subs.— One loud and blustering hen', .‘ a person of all- work," who has been returned " without money and without price," to two or three of the last Parliaments, by a great borough proprietor, is indignant at a seeming neg lect—an arrangement having hitherto been made for Lis reelection. BA NB I: RY.—This borough, the seat of a close and rotten corporation, under the " patronage" of the Marquess of BUTT, is about to be emancipated, and the Augean stable of political corruption cleared out. The new electors have invited Mr. TANCRED, the King's Counsel, to the honour of their first real representation. Mr. TANCRED is a decided Liberal, and author of one of the best Reform pamphlets before the introduction of the English Bill. There is no doubt of his triumphant suc cess. Mr. PYE, the sln of the late Poet Laureate, bad canvassed the borough under false colours of " Reform," and " Lord GREY." But the burgesses discovering that he was a political "privateer," an oppon en t o f L or d AL THORP in Northamptonshire, and a frequent Anti-Reform remonstrant, have scuttled him and sent him adrift. Mr. TANCRED'S address is one of the best yet issued by the Reformers. A correspondent has furnished us with an important document bearing on the present question.

The only arrival this morning of consequence is a Lisbon mail, brought by his Majesty's ship Columbia, sailed on the 17th June. We are informed that Government has accounts of the sailing of Don Pedro's expedition ; there fore, every day we may expect important information from that quarter. The Lisbon Gazettes do not contain any information on the subject. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off on Saturday, 8443 for the account, but soon after im proved to 85* ; at present they are 83 to *, with a stiff market. The improvement may be attributed to the esta fet from Paris contradicting the reports of warlike move ments on the continent, as well as the rise of the French funds. We have a current report that Don Pedro's expe dition has sailed. In the Foreign market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. We have received the following private letter from Lis bon, June 16:— " We have no news of importance as yet to communi cate, but arrests have taken place amongst the troops. It seems that the Government is very doubtful of their being true. The approach of Don Pedro is daily looked for, which keeps the capital in great excitement. Consols, which were in the ear:y part of the morning 85i for tie Account, owing to a purchase of 100,0001., are not quite so good at present, and may be quoted at 85 to with little doing. Great anxiety is expressed for some official information in regard to the expedition of Don Pedro, owing to a ge neral report of his having sailed on the 10th inst. If this be correct, there has been sufficient time for the arrival of a cutter or a steamer with the above information. In the Foreign Market nothing cloning. THREE 0' CL U CIC.

We have always thought highly of Mr. JAMES'S talents, and we consider ' Henry Masterton' as his most finished production." We mention with deep regret the intelligence communicated to us yesterday (Wednesday) by very re spectable authority, that the country people between Tul latnore and Ballinasloe assembled in great numbers on Mon slay night last, and proceeded to cut down the banks of the Grand Canal running to the latter town. They accom.. plished this object in five or six places, in such a manner as to interrupt all communication by the canal. We un derstand that they were impelled to this rash and indefen sible act of outrage by the impression, now very prevalent among them, that it was owing to the communication by water that cholera was carried throughout the interior of the country with such rapidity; and, of course, they hoped to prevent further dissemination of the fatal malady among them by this means.—Dublin Morning Register. A deputation, consisting of Mr. TAYLOR, Mr. HEILRING, Mr. HonGKINsoN, Mr. ASHMORE, and sixteen other gentlemen, interested in the drug trade, on Saturday waited upon Lord AUCKLAND, and Mr. P. THOMSON, to express their satisfaction at the proposed alteration in the duties upon drugs, which the felt would be of great benefit to the trade, as well as a great preven • tive to adulterations and illicit importations, to both of which the present high duties afford great encouragement. Although most of the gentlemen forming the deputation will lose many hundreds of pounds by the reductions, they were all unanimous in recommending that the new duties should take effect immediately, as any postponement would subject them to very great inconvenience, without, at the same time, materially diminishing the loss. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—A sail ing match between yachts, the property of members of this Club, took place on Saturday, from Greenwich to Gravesend and back, for a silver cup and cover, valued at 50 guineas. The Royal Sovereign steamer was engaged for the accommodation of members and their friends, who were thus enabled to witness the progress of the match. A little fleet of boats of various desriptions, filled with com pany, also attended. At twelve o'clock six yachts, the Victorine, Alert, Matchless, Figaro, Lady Louisa, and Sabrina, started from Greenwich. The Lady Louisa, led at starting, but was almost immediately passed by Figaro ; they were followed by the Matchless, Victorine, Alert, and Sabrina, the yachts maintaining the same order in going round Blackwall-point. Many changes occurred in the rel itive position of the boats pre viously to their arrival at Gravesend, and the contest was conducted with great spirit. Within two hours from the time of starting, the Sabrina rounded the flag-boat at Gravesend, closely followed by the Trictoe ine, Lady Louisa, Matchless, Alert, and Figaro, only six minutes and a half having elapsed between the arrival of the first and last boat. The rate of sailing from Greenwich was extremely good, wind and tide being favourable. In beat ing back, the struggle became extremely interesting. At six o'clock the match was decided by the arrival of the Lady Louisa at Greenwich. The Victorine came in second, at two minutes past six, and the remaining boats arrived at various intervals within half a hour ; the Albert, aboard of which was Lord WHARNCILFFE, being last. The weather was extremely favourable,and we have witnessed few sailing matches that excited greater interest or afforded more amusement. Two or three accidents occurred in the day, but none of them were of a serious character. In beating up the Figaro ran a-ground, but was soon got off by the exertions of her crew ; she came in fifth. The Matchless ran down a wherry in coming into Greenwich, and the persons aboard (two in number) were exposed to considerable danger; more particularly one of them, over whom the keel of the yacht passed, and who probably escaped drowning by seizing the bob-stay, a chain that de pends from the bowsprit. He was dragged through the water a considerable distance, but fortunately sue ceeded in retaining his hold till he was rescued from his perilous situation. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) LIBEL• --.•R A MADGE V. `VAKLEY. This was au action brought by Dr. Ramadge, the phy. skim], against Mr. Wakley, the editor of the Lancet.— Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing. KING'S BENCH,-(THIS DAY.) CRAY V. NIEUWENHUYS. This was an action to recover 6001., being the value of a picture, called La Sable, an original by Philip Wouver mans. The cause had proceeded to a considerable length, when it was agreed on the part of the defendant that a verdict should pass for the full amount, with the understanding 4 that if the defendant, who had sold the picture abroad, should be able to return it between now and Michaelmas term, the verdict should be only for nominal damages. This proposition being acceded to, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. THE KING V. MARY QUINLAN. Sir J. SCARLETT (with whom was Mr. Anor.ruus) stated the case for the prosecution. The case arose out of the unhappy disputes between Sir Wastel Briscoe and his lady, both of whom were old . acquaintances of his (Sir J. Scarlett), but whose disputes had arrived at such a pitch that it was impossible for private friends to attempt a re conciliation. Some time ago a Mr. Davis, having sup plied Lady Briscoe with some necessaries, brought his action against Sir W. Briscoe, and upon the trial of that cause the defence was adultery, to prove which the pre sent defendant and her husband swore to such circum stances at various periods, and at different houses where her Ladyship had lodged, as led the Jury to infer that adul tery had been committed, and Sir W. Briscoe obtained a verdict. It was for the evidence given upon that trial by the present defendant that this indictment was preferred. It would be proved not only that Lady Briscoe had never lived in the houses named by the witness, and that she had never gone by the names of parties with whom it was alleged she had committed adultery, but that the defendant hail been induced by bribes to support the defence of adul tery by her own evidence, and her endeavours to get others to do the same. The record of the cause " Thomas Davies v. Sir Waste] Briscoe," was put in and read. It was an action for oats and hay supplied to Lady Briscoe for the keep of horses. Mr. Sawyer, a short-hand-writer, read his notes of that trial, in which the defendant was a witness for Sir W. Briscoe, and in which she proved the adultery between Mr. Wiley and Lady Briscoe. It was tried December 11, 1820, before Sir N. Tyndal, and a verdict was found for the defendant. The defendant detailed visits to Lady Briscoe by two persons named Richmond and Miles Winnington, as well as Wiley ; Richmond was a clerk in Bow-street Office, and she went at one time by the name of Wiley, and at another by that of Richmond. Lady Briscoe received those visits at various residences, among which were those in Lisson•grove, Tonbridge-street, and Albany -street. In cross-examination she swore that she had not seen Sir W. Briscoe for the last four or five years. Lady Sarah Briscoe examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS...— I am the wife of Sir Wastel Briscoe, Bart. ; in April, 1827, I lived at No. 2, Tonbridge-street, New-road; defendant washed for me two weeks at Tonbridge-street ; she used to take away the things to wash and bring them home again. I left Tonbridge-street on the 16th of April, 1827, and then went to Upton, in Worcester shire. I went to see my mother, who was very ill, and staid there until the beginning of May, 1827, and then went to Cheltenham (eighteen miles from Upton) and staid there until the 10th or 12th of June, when 1 came to Albany -street, London. I was first at an inn in Piccadilly for a night or two, and then went to Albany street; 1 had there a house furnished of Mr. W. Wiley ; I endeavoured to let a part of it but could not, and I lived there alone as Lady Briscoe. I lived there at first but ten days, and on the 10th or 12th of July I left it to go to Paris, where I staid until the end of August, and then re turned to see my two sons, who were coining from school at Midhuret ; I then went to Albany-street and staid, until the end of October and then came back to Albany-street, where I remained until July, 1828, without leaving it ; then I went into Cumberland until the Ist of November, and then went again to Albany-street, and never left it until the end of July, 1830. 1 always went by the name of Lady Briscoe, and never assumed any other ; I had a card engraved with my name on it, m. rely altered from 64, Wimpole-street, to 164, Albany-street ; not one of my tradesmen ever sent in any hill to me by any other name than that of Lady Briscoe. (She produced a great number of such bills, dated from 1827 to 1830.) I never went by the name of Mrs. Wiley; Mr. Wiley never lived with me as my husband, or even in the same house ; I never slept in the same bed with Mr. Wiley ; I never took a lodging, or lived in or near Lissong rove, or in any way frequented a house in that neighbourhood. The defendant ceased to work for me a few weeks after I went to Ton bridge-street ; she washed for me two or three weeks in Tonbridge-street, and a few times in Albany-street. The defendant lived in my house in Albany-streer, from June, 1827, until March, 1828, when I discharged her. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant ADAMS-Had been separated from Sir W. Briscoe many years ; I bad a suit in Doctors' Commons ; I brought a suit against my husband ; alimony was ordered during the pendency, and the suit was dismissed. I first saw Mr. Wiley in 1820 ; be is a gentleman of property. I list saw him some months ago ; perhaps four or five months ; I then met him, and understand he is now in Edinburgh ; have not inquired for bim ; I heard of his being in Edinburgh, and wrote to him ten or twelve days ago to be here. He was not in town to go before the Grand Jury. As a family man be did not wish his name brought up as Sir Wastel had chosen to bring it up. Do not know whether Mr. Craik is the landlord of the house i❑ Albany-street ; when I had it Mr. Wiley was landlord. I did not pay the rent, because Mr. Wiley expected my son, who was nearly of age, to pay it ; it was not in my power to pay it. I cannot say exactly what rent I was to pay, but I believe about 2501. a year. If I could have let a part of the house, I should have been able to pay it. While I was abroad the defendant and her husband had charge of it. Mr. Wiley has visited me and dined with me ; I kept a horse and a four-wheeled phxton. Mr. Wiley has applied for rent, and I said when it was in my power I would pay him ; I have never yet paid him. The house was never taken by Mr. Wiley for me ; it was taken for himself and family. I cannot say if his family or himself ever resided there. I had written from Worcestershire to take the house of Mr. Wiley : the reason I took a house was that while I was in lodgings my husband sent a woman to annoy me. There was a written agreement between Mr. Wiley and me, but I have not got it. Do not know Mr. Robertson ; (lie was pointed out) ; I never saw him before a fortnight ago. Sergeant ADAMS—He is the landlord of the house in Lisson Grove; on your oath, did you not lodge in that house in Lisson Grove? Witness—l never did ; I never saw Mr. Wells ; Wells never supplied me with meat in Lisson-grove under the name of Mrs. Wiley. Never saw Mrs. Wells (who was pointed out) before. I had at one time a parrot, but never in Lisson-grove, for I never lived there. I had a dog in 1827.--(A written paper produced.) That is not my writing ; I cannot say whose it is, but will swear it is not mine. I never left a quantity of goods (enumerated in the paper) with Mrs. 'Wells. Mr. Wiley has visited me occasionally in Toubridge-street ; he resided in Hen rietta-street, Brunswick-square, but I don't know whether his family were with him. I was first introduced to Mr. Wiley at a party of friends in Paris. When I came from Pais after that introduction, I resided in Euston-grove ; the introduction was renewed, I believe at Fulham, but I cannot say at what house there. We had not agreed to meet together ; we did not come from Paris together. Could not tell where I met bins again. I never lived by the name of Richmond ; I knew a person of that name. Mr. and Mrs. Graham kept the lodging -house in Tonbridge-street. Never saw Dl!*. John King (who was pointed out) my next door neighbour before. Will swear Mr. Wiley was not living with me in Tunbridge-sheet. Did not know Mr. and Mrs. Buckton (also pointed out.) Never ordered blinds or a bed of them. Never saw them to my knowledge. Never ordered any ironmongery of Mr. Wiley in my presence, and therefore Mr. Wright (pointed out in Court) could not be present when any was ordered. I kept two horses, but Mr. Wiley never rode either of them. Ile rode his own horse once by my side, but was not in the co nstant h a bi t o f r idi ng w ith me . I discharged Mrs. Quinan, because she was corresponding with a woman who was kept by my husband, and also because she had robbed me. I was taken in execution for a debt of 11. 55., but I paid it. Wiley paid it, and I paid him again. When I Mr. was tak en I cannot say w h e ther Wiley and I were in the chai se , or w h et h er I was on foot. Would not swear one way or ot h er, f or I h ave no reco llection of it. I swear 1 never lod ge d i n Li sson.grove a t all, n or ever went by the name of Wil ey or Ri c h mon d, an d that I never lived with te Wiley and his wife.

(From the IVindwr Express.) SATURDAY EVENING. There has beets little company at the Castle during the present race-week, in comparison with former years, it, consequence of the hopeless state in which the yourg Princess of SALE-WeratAK still continues. The Quits N's attention is so unremittingly occupied in the sick chamber of the Princess, that she now seldom appears even at the royal dinner table; for this reason there have not been the usual gayeties at the Castle, and but very few ladies hay. been invited. The visitors comprised the Duke of Don SET, the Duke and Duchess of RICHMOND, Lord and Lady BaowNLow, and Colonel and Mrs. CLITHERO t! e greater part of whom have left Windsor for London to day. Lady BaowNr.ow remains as Lady in Waiting. The KING and QUEEN left the Castle at seven o'clock this evening, attended by a few members of the Roya suite, for Fern Hill, the seat of the Earl and Countess 01 LICHFIELD, whom their MA.lxsTirs honour with their company to dinner. The band of the Fusileer Guards proceeded to his Lordship's residence in the course of the afternoon, to play during the evening. On Monday their Mairsurs leave Windsor for London. In the morning, on his way to town, the KING partakes of a splendid dijeuner at Lord SPENCER'S late seat at Wim bledon. The QUEEN, it is expected, will arrive at St. James's to dinner. On Tuesday morning there will be a grand review, and presentation of colours, by the KING, to the Ist regiment of Grenadier Guards ; in the evenin g, his MAJESTY will entertain a large party to dinner at Sr. James's, and afterwards go to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S ball, at Apsley House. On Wednesday, the KING receives at his levee the two Houses of Parliament, to present their address on the late treasonable attack on the Royal person. On Thursday, the KING is expected to be present at Sir WILLOUGHBY GORDON'S dejeuner at Chelsea, after which, his MAJESTY will inspect the two regiments, the veterans and the youths; and in the evening of Thursday, the Court will again return to the Castle. We are happy to state that their MAJESTIES are both in the enjoyment of Rood health, and that the KING has not felt the slightest inconvenience from the brutal assault which was made upon him at Ascot, although, from the violence of the blow, his MAJESTY was stunned for the moment, and but for his hat being thickly padded in front, must have been seriously injured. As it is, there remain. a black mark on the forehead, without, however, th, slightest abrasion of the akin. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE MURDER OF A MAGISTRATE NEAR SOU H SHIELDS. ) une 23 . E s s r a t o u N r i d 7r J . (Faon OUR. OWN New c coot Nicholas Fairies, Esq. the magistrate of South Shields, who was so barbarously attacked by two pitmen on Mon day the 11th inst. is dead. He expired in consequence of the severe fracture in his skull, at a late hour on Thurs day night. Nothing but his excellent constitution could have enabled him to survive so lung the wounds he re ceived. An.inquest was held this afternoon, at °piton's, the Golden Inn, by Michael Hall, Esq. Soon alter the jury ha•l viewed the body, the inquest was adjourned till Monday morning. The murder of a magistrate in Eng land, in open day light, is an event of rare occurrence; but when it is known to have proceeded from the unhappy differences which exist betwen the coal owners and the pitmen, does it not call for the interference of a Special Commission, or for the speedy holding of the assices ? Something must be done by the Government or the Le gislature, or further outrages—more murders trill be corn. 'flitted. It is true that one of the ruffians who attacked Mr. Fairless is yet at large, but his capture is daily expected. Four hundred pounds reward have been off•red for his ap prehension and conviction , and it is not probable be will long escape detection. I❑ the mean time, the trade of ihe whole district imperatively demands that a❑ end should be put to the proceedings of the pitmen, for they are producing a general stagnation in business, independent of the alarm they excite. ELECTIONEERING IN NORTH UMBER- LAND. Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Ord have both issued addresses to the freeholders of the southern division of Northumber land, asking their suffrages on the ground of having con tributed to obtain the Reform I3iIL Mr. Ikauniont's election is considered quite safe ; so also should Mr. Ord's, but Mr. Matthew Bell, the tory candidate, opposed to them, is thought by some to have sufficient influence to render his return doubtful. Sir Charles Monck, who is a very moderate whig, has little or no chance of success. For the southern division, the only declared candidate, as yet, is Lord Ossuliton, son of Earl Tankerville. His ad dress is— " A fine sample, on the whole, Of what the leaned call rigmarole." He appears to be anxious to please both whips and tories, and so balances between their opposite principles. He will probably please no party. The 11011. H. T. a tory, has been mentioned as likely to offer, but the free holders are determined, if possible, to bring in Lord Howick and Mr. C. W. Bigge, men whose minds are known to be of the right calibre. Mr. 13igge has not yet consented to stand, but it is hoped he will. There is no doubt of Lord Howick coming forward. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. Last week there was a tolerably good arrival of most descrip tions of Grain, and a fair return of Flour. This morning the tresh supplies are inconsiderable. Such parcels of Wheat as are superfine sold readily at a small advance on the terms of this day se'imight, but all other qualities were dull, at former quotations. Barley remains as last reported. Beans and Pease meet a slack sale, at the terms of last week. In the Oat t ade considerable dulness still prevails, and last week's prices were maintained, but not readily. Flour continues as last stated. PRICES ON BOARD OF Sill?. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. Beans, Small (new).., —White (old) —s. —s. Red (1831) 525. 58s. Tick (new)..., --- Fine 6os. 645. .
