I TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. . _ _ . *XTRACTS FROM THE D ~ MORNING fArias, September 24, 1822'. [MORNING POST] French Journals to the 2'2d instant reached us last night by Express. They contain fresh ac c' °tints of the successes of the Greeks since the irruption of the Turks into the Morea, successes which have now been confirmed from too many quarters to leave any reasonable doubt of their reality. Indeed, had other proofs been wanting, the silence preserved by the Austrian Observer on the subject would have been quite decisive : for had it been in its power to support the un founded reports which it had exultingly published 'of the conquest of the Morea, and the com plete overthrow of the Greek cause, it would not have, closed its pages, as it has lately done, to all kinds of communications from that quarter. An article in the Gazette de France, 'repeats a charge which had previously been ,made against the Austrians; that of having trans ported on board their vessels one of the Ottoman. Corps from Lepanto to the Morea, whilst the Greeks were fighting bravely and triumphantly the battles of •their country on the other side of the Thermopylx. I f such an infraction of neu trality really took place, well might the Aus trian Court hope that Greece would not be able to 'achieve her own independence. The result, however, appears to have defeated those hopes, and if Christian hand's assisted in bringing devas tation to the Morea, the spirit, strength, and heroism of the Moraite's have been placed in a still more conspicuous point of view by the man ner in which they have repelled so sudden and treacherous a blow. [IIIOIINT NG HERA - 1;D.1 The Paris' Pipers of late show scarcely any :signs of freed - om. They extract articles from the German Papers; perhaps without restraint- , for the latter are under a regime which restrains • them within the known wishes of the Continental Alliance. But'in their extracts from the English Journals,. they are obliged to betircumspeet ;- ' those of Spain are prohibited at the frontier, so -as to be regularly obtained only by the Ultra ,p!irt of the Press, and as to the state of France :they are null. It was easy to foresee, and it 'Was - foreseen, that the new law had' put an end to the freedom of the Yrench PresS. The previous `constraint was removed—but of what value is that • liberty, the exertion of which is instantly followed by a stunning knock on the head?. There was, how ever, some force and freedom of observation in the Journals until the recent attacks of the Police.- The arbitrary seizure of four Journals, merely ;because-the reporters of 'a Political trial perkiit .feA them Selves to Say, in a 'parenthesis, at parti cular stages of the ptpceeding, " here the'audi tory were much affected," " an expression of pity for the accused," &c. &c.—the subsequent 'seizure' of the same Journals for publishing the simple but. strong - Contradiction of a Deputy to ' flagrant accusations publiShed against him by an agent of the dOverninentthese are ads so arl bitrary, that they have again •reil s tieed!the Press to the same languor and nullity which marked the •pritid of the Censorship. This rigorous controul appears, at first sight, quite unaccountable. It might be asked, why this jealous and harsh surveil- - lortee, at a - momentw - hen France is perfectlytran quil ?—For such appears to be the state of the kingdom,, judging by the positive assertions of the,Ultra Papers, and the silence of the Journals called Liberal. But it is only from those who have recently been in France, that the cause of the'tetror with which the press inspires the Go vernment can be well understood. There is a ferment of political passion excited lately in the popular mind, Which had been before -compara lively dormant. The suspicious animosities of the privileged and plebeian orders are aroused by the. elevation of a purely emigrant party to power. This cannot show itself directly. The expression of popular• feeling lids no longer a vehicle in Ole Journals, and is silent in conversa tion, under the dread of a reinforced espionage. It vents itself 'openly and indirectly iri'd revived and general dislike of the English. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There are now four Noblemen in the field for the appointment to the Governor-Generalship of Tits ia; the Marquess or Anglesea, Lord Amherst, Lord Maryborough, and Lord William Bentinck. 'Hii Majesty 'is understood •to interest himself -Voirroly for she Marquess of Anglesea, but we understand. the Noble Marquess has little pros pect 'of success with the Court of Directors.— Lord William Bentinck, the relation of Mr. Canning, is spoken of as most likely to receive "the appointment. His Lordship has something more than his frank and manly character, and kind • and conciliatory manners,. to recommend him to 'the ',Court of Directors. His administration of Sicily, *hick was productive of so much benefit to the inhabitants of that country, and the high reputation he enjoyed throughout the Mediter ranean (a reputation which the faithlessness of the Government at home never impaired, how. ever embarrassing the dilemma in which he was placed by it), must naturally plead powerfully irf his favour with those to whom the destinies of the millions of India are entrusted. [NEW. TIMES;] • The Paris Papers of Saturday last reached 'Own by express yesterday morning, and private communications from that to .a late hour its-the evening. By the latter we find, that on 'the afternoon of that day, Bories and his asso 'dates, wh o were found guilty at Rochelle, were to undergo the sentence of the, law. Nothing :further had transpired in Paris respecting the attempt to rescue them beyond 'the intelligence conieyed the Park Papers of Saturday, ex tracted in another colutnn. The Rentes opened at and closed at 92. 35., with no inter 'mediate flucttiation. Bank Actions and Neapo litdu Stock maintained their for Mer prices. ti A generaropinion is entertained, that certain nations will 'obtain some advantages 'over this' country, by an earlier recog nition of the South American Governments. The subject is of such vital importance to our merchants, that Mr. Hen derson, a gentleman who has written a good deal on South America, and well acquainted with its affairs, is preparing a document for circulation 'among the South Americans, which, after taking a cursory review of the most eventful circum stances in their respective revolutions, will illus trate the inexpediency of their conceding any `privilege to other powers in prejudice of Eng- I and.—( lbid.) [THE Timm] The North American Papers contain some paragraphs expressive of high exultation and de light at the progress of the United States in various articles of manufacture. This is a natural source of pride ; and although accompanied by a rather unmannerly spirit of boasting, as if every step gained by the Republic in art or science was a victory achieved over England and her in habitants, our conclusions are so opposite from those of the newswriters wha throw down the gauntlet for the United States, that we are as ready to rejoice, and with a view to British in terests moreover, at their advances in industry and peaceful prosperity, as they are ready to do so from the consideration that their national improvements can be gained no other wise than at the expense of Great Britain: We believe if the accounts of import and export be carefully examined, it will be found that the years of greatest affluence in America are the sanie in which the largest portion of her a 1 ..: fluence seeks employment in the purchase of English manufactures and commodities. We are farther of opinion, that such a result belongs not merely to the traffic between Great Britain an& the United States, but that it is:e4ually insepa rable from the increase of general comfort and prosperity in any and every of those nations who carry on a reciprocal intercourse by commerce. — The greater the sum of domestic produce in the United States, whether it assume the form of raw material or of manufacture, the more ex tensive will be their faculty of purchasing from foreign countries those articles which are not produced at home. [BRITISH PRESS.] The slow but sure progress of well-grounded opinions on the hardships and oppressions of the tithe system is at length likely to attain a favour able result. Those with whom it is natural and becoming that any preliminary-measures for its amelioration • should originate—the gentry of Ireland, are coming forward ; and in one instance a public meeting has already been held in the county of Waterford, at which resolutions were passed expressive of the expediency of cor 'reefing a system which, both_ in and out of 'Parliament, has been reprobated as a principal cause' of that habitual' resistance to the power of the laws which leads' to such tevolting scenes of cruelty and bloodshed amongst the lower classes of the people of Ireland. 'When this - subject has been mentioned' in Parliament, some of those who are the firm supporters of the existing state of things, talked fearfully of in fringing the rights of the Church and unsettling all established and undoubted titles to property. Somerecent instances in this Metropolis prove that the clergy are not hack-ward in enforcing their claims to the utmost limit allowed by law ; and is it to be supposed - that a tithe-proc tor—an underling--whose name, from the mouth, of an Irish farmer or peasant, embodies their worst conceptions of outraged.feeling and legal extortion, will not harass and oppress where he can do so with impunity ? The tithe question has frequently engaged the attention of compre hensive and statesmanlike minds, but its great difficulties and intricacy seem to have paralyzed their exertions and it has hitherto been like some inveterate disease,. whose hurtful progress we daily experience, and of whose fatal ter mination we can have no doubt, but which' overwhelms the sufferer with such despondency that he is content to let it remain without remedy, lest the effort for its cure should prove too vio lent for :his constitution. There is now, how ever, greater probability than ever that the Gor dian knot will be unravelled. If all the counties in Ireland shall hold meetings, and 'give suitable expression to the feelings which are prevalent amongst them upon this subject, Parliament will not, cannot, refuse to listen to their representa tions ; and like another leading question, inti mately connected with the tranquillity of Ireland,- the consequence of discussion must be,- if dot immediate relief, that the neces sity of some change in the present system of -collecting tithes will be still more strongly sub stantiated. The Duke of Devonshire has set a noble example, and if the Irish landlords' par ticipated 'more fully and generally in his' spirit and sentiments, the two countries would be more nearly assimilated 'in the features which should distinguish their connexion. , COMMODORE 0 4 BRI EN.— This enterprising youth;-'a cripple and an. orphan, and who exhibited his nautical skill before his Majesty last year at Dunleary, came ;to Leith during his Majesty's visit to Scotland; bringing .with him his little vessel, with which he intended to proceed to llopetoun on the day his Majesty embarked on his return to London, in order to pay his respects to the King, but unfor tunately his vessel was capsized between Leith Roads and Newhaven, and he himself nearly drowned. By this misfor , tune he lost his vessel, and all on board of her. Admiral Sir J. Beresford, on being informed of the circumstance,.kindly' ordered a new one to be built for him, and some gentlemen in Leith have set on foot a subscription to enable him to fit out his new yacht. We understand that as soon as the vessel is fitted out, the Commodore intends to exhibit his naval tactics at Leith.—( Edinburgh - Courant, Sept. ,19.) • In the 3d section of the new Act, Geo. IV., chap. 24, it is enacted, " that in all cases where the offence of -any person receiving or buying stolen goods or chattels, or any . such stolen order, tally, bill, bond, warrant, debenture, or note, knowing the same to have been stolen, shall be deemed and construed to be felony ' • such offender shall and may be tried and convicted of such felony, as well before as after the trial of the principal felon, and whether the said principal .felon shall have been apprehended or shall be amenable to justice or not." In the year 1774 a Bill' was introduced into the 1-lbuse of Commons, for the better watching of the. Metr opolis ; in order to effect which object, one of the claUses went to piopose that watchmen should be compelled to sleep by day. Lord NuCIEIT, with admirable,humour,gpt up, and desired that " he might be personally i included, n' the pipvisions of the Bill, being frequently So tormented with the' gout as to be ,unable to sleep either by day or night," POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Mivsani-Housi.—A case of considerable importanie to the proprietors of what are termed the short stages round Lon don, came on for hearing at this Justice Room yesterday. Charles Hear? Med, the iirtilifietor of one of the Highgate stages to the Bank, appeared to iiiisfhr to an information ex hibited againtt him by Thomas Webb, of Great Queen-street, a hackney-coach proprietor, for that he the defendant, not being a person licensed by the Commissioners for licensing and regulating HatkneY Cotiches,:did, contrary to the stanite;on the day natured, stand and ply for hire with a certain coach hav ing two horses, within the city of London, *hereby he forfeited the sum of 5/. The short stages, as every one knows, • are in the habit of taking up paSsengers to all the places intermediate to their final destination ; thus a Highgate coach from the Bank will be very glad of passengers to Somers-town, Kentish-town, or Camden town, as well as to Highgate. The taking passengers these short trips, the hackney-coachmen find interferes considerably with their business and profits, and it was with a view to put an end to the practice, that this information was brought on the part of the hackneymen. Mr. Archnool, of No. 3, Hunter's Mews, Brunswick square, a respectable hackney-coach owner, was called to prove the fact, and stated that on the 9th of September he saw the defendant's coach standing opposite the Bank, and the driver of it plying for hire. •He held up his finger and plied him, by asking if he wished to go to Kentish-town. He subsequently saw him take up seven outside passengers. Mr. Clement, another hackney coach owner, said he was With Mr. Archpool at the time ; the defendant's coachman also plied him twice by asking if lie wanted to go either to Camden or Kentish town. The defendant, who had evidently mistaken the nature of the offence charged against him, conceiving it to be the having exceeded the bounds of his license as to distance, was about to show that his coach had not been near Broad-street. Being, however, set right by his Lordship's clerk, he observed that he was licensed to carry passengers to and from Highgate and the • Bank • that he paid duty 2s. 6d. every journey, 10 guineas a year wheel duty, 2/. 6s. for his driver, and 10s. annually for his license, and if he were not permitted ;to ply for passengers, he might as well cease his business altogether. On reference to the statute, it appeared that the words were —" Any person plying for hire with a coach and two horses within the cities of London . and Westminster, or five 'miles theieof, unless licensed under the statute 9th of Anne, should forfeit 5/." The LORD 31AYwt inquired if those statutes were unre pealed 7 . • • I• His Lordship's Clerk repl i ed in the affirmative, and sug gested that as the question was of considerable importance to the proprietors of stage coaches, and the defendant did not ap pear to be aware of the exact nature of the question at issue, it, might be advisable to defer the consideration of the case, that he might avail himself of legal assistance. Mr. Webb; on the part of the hackneyrnen, was Most willing to consent to - the adjournment ;' they were not, he said, coin mon informers ;• their object Was not the penalty, but to' bring the question to an issue. . The =ewes accordingly adjourned, with a recommendation' -to the defendant to make known the circumstances by a peti tion to the Commissioners by whom he was licensed, and who would probably direct their solicitor to attend on their behalf at the next hearing, fo defend the interests of so large arid re spectable a body of the stage coach ploprietors. G u respectable looking yoring woman, named Ann Freeman, Was yesterday brought before Mr. Alderman Cox on a charge of felony.- A Mr. 31., of Cheapside, came forward, and stated (from some papers which he held in. his hand) various charges against the prisoner, but the Magis- - strate decided that the matters' stated by Mr. 31. had nothing to do with the present eharge. Mrs. M. was brought forward to prove that'the prisoner had' at various times pilfered sundry small quantities of tea, sugar, coffee, starch, stone blue, &c. which articles were rroduced. ,It appeared, that during the absence of the prisoner her draWer was searched, and about an ounce and a half of coffee was found in a bag ; this her ',mis tress supposed had been pilfered out of her own stock. An officer was brought, prisoner's box was searched, nothing was found belonging to her mistress ;' but in a kitchen cupboard the small quantities of tee; sugar, starch, and stone blue were found. The articld or course could not be sworn to, nor was there any direct evidence of the girl having stolen. them. Spe cimens were, however, produced, of 14Ir. M.'s black and green tea, coffee, brown and white sugar, and even a lump of her stone blue, to shew by comparison th,at „the articles pro duced had been part of his property, and their agreement in colour and •quality Mr. M. urged as sufficient evidence against the girl to go to a Jury. The Magistrate, however, thought the evidence by no means conclusive, and submitted to .1.1.4. 31. himself whether he as a Juryman would convict upon such evidence ? Mr. M. declared he thought he should. The Magistrate was of it different opinion ; but as he believed the girl had been guilty of Pilfering, he should take some time to consider what he-shbuld do with her, and accordingly remand „ed her fOr another hearing. 7 ...11,11M80110,13GR.5T WEE T i .--Ahn Moore, Otherwise 'Mine, was brought up charged with embezzling property. to a very considerable extent, belonging to his employers, wholesale•ma nufacturers at. Manchester. A reward of 501. had been offered for the apprehension of the prisoner, and he was taken into custody by two - soldiers, who were formerly quartered at Man chester, who swore to his identity. The accused had lately re turned from France, and had changed his nape. He was re manded till Friday, and the manufacturers at Manchester are written to.—A respectable looking publican from the vicinity of Lewisham, attended foiadvice bow to get his wife restored to him, she having eloped from her home and three children, .and was now living in Hampstead-road with a mechanic who had worked at a mansion in Kent during the summer, and boarded and lodged at his house. lie had seen his faithless rib, who refused to return home, or to account for some things she had taken away. The applicant was told that his remedy was by civil process only.—Yesterday several persons applied at this office, complaining they had been defrauded of various sums (one person with a wife and family of 201., his whole pro perty), by a person calling himself Illackthorne, who keeps an Echo Office in Wyeb-street, and who proiniSed to provide the parties with situations. it appears that, the accused has houses of a similar description in Windmill-street, Golden-square, Plummer-street, City-road, and at Brighton; when he received 'the different sums he gave bills promising to refund them in twelve months time. The Magistrate considered that, they would only be warranted to proceed against him for debt, in consequence of the bills which he had given them, promising .to refund the money at a future period. They left the office, de termined to apply to the parish for relief. B ow-ST llEET.—Yesterday a person calling hiMself John krphen Ward, and stating that he belonged to the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, was brought before Sir R. RIRNIr, for an assault under aggravated circumstances. Mrs. Parker, landlady of the Orange Tree public-house, Bloomsbury-place, stated, that about nine o'clock on Sunday night, Mr. Ward, accompanied' by a friend, came into her house ; that his friend called for a glass of gin and water, and they went into the parlour; that before they had been long in 'the rdom she heard a great noise, some person talking very loud, and presently al.ady and Gentleman came out of the room, complaining that they had been alarmed by one of the Gentle- - men who'had just come in pulling out a large pistol, and threatening to shoot any person who should offend him (no one having said a word to him), and brandishing the pistol in all directions. 'While the Lady and Gentleman were relating the circumstances to' Mr.. Parker, Mr. Ward came out of the par lour with the pistol in his hand, swearing that he would shoot any one that stood in his way; he particularly directed his con versation to John Richards (coachman to Dr. Lester), who was sitting quietly in the tap room ; he preSented the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out. • John Richards said on his examination, that he felt himself :under great apprehension - from 'Mr. Ward's violent conduct ;' 1 1 that - as soon as he could get out with safety, he went to seek a watchman ; that not being able to find one, he tried to get a constable, and while inquiring for one, he met with the Bow street patrol in Southampton-row, and they accompanied him to the public-house. Thomas Amsden, one of the Bow-street patrol, stated, that being on duty with others of the patrol; and being informed by the last witness of the disturbance at the Orange Tree public house, they went there, and found Mr. 'Ward in the tap-room; he was walking about abusing every one in the house, saying they were all a pack of' cowards ; that there was' not an Eng lishman in the room. Witness desired him to be peaceable, and he directly drew from his pocket the large hotse pistol, which the witness produced, and threatened to shoot the wit ness, who, together with Godfrey, his fellow patrol. tried to take it away ; but they did not succeed until Mr. Ward had given Amsden a severe blow on the head with the butt end of the pistol. The pistol appeared to be a part.of an old gun barrel, set in . the stock of a horse pistol ; it was, however, with,a Bock. Mr. Ward, during the examination, was making all sorts of gestures,, and was evidently under the influence of liquor : he 'asked the coachman if he eras afraid of being shot with a pistol' without a cock; the coachman said that he did'not notice whether it was cocked or no--that he was in fear of being - shot, and that any one might have knocked him down with a feather. A friend of Mr. 'Ward's informed Sir Richard that for the last few days something unpleasant had disturbed Mr. Ward's mind, and he had given way to liquor. • 'Sir RICHARD • Brnr•xE remarked; Altar 'the charge was too Joutraleati to be overlooked, Annie shotad detain Mr; Ward until two housekeepers became responsible for his good be: haviour. Mr. Ward was then taken away in custody, and Sir Richard. Biirnie strictly enjoined the constable not to suffer him to have any liquor. In the evening Mr. Ward appeared pretty calm (owing to the Magistrate's injunctions), and he expressed his thanks to Sir Richard for his kind treatment, arid gave bail for his good conduct, promising on.hii3OWn part to be more circumspect in fUture. Mr. Ward's friend, who was with him drinking the gin and water at Mrs. Parker', took himself off as soon as Ward be gan his violence. QUEEN-SQUARE.—ikER - MARRIAGE ACT.—The first ap plication at this office to be sworn under the provisions of the New Marriage Act, was made yesterday by a youthful couple, of comely appearance, residing at Battersea. They had, it seemed, presented themselvei to make the affidavits required previous to the publication of bans before the Minister of their own parish', but he refused to administer the oath, and they were therefore compelled to appear before a Magistrate in a public office for that purpose. A printed form of the affidavits having been procured from the reverend pastor of St. Marr'a ret's; Westminster, Was filled up at the office and signed by the parties, who, having been sworn in the customary form, de parted with their wishes thus far gratified. THAMES PomcE.—Yesterday kr. W. Miller , Captain of the Diana brig, was charged with having unlawful possession of King's stores, viz. a light infantry musket; and Judge, a police officer, said he found the gun on board the Diana. The Captain said he gave 255. for the gun to a Mr. Cooke of Bath, and could get a certificate of that fact, The Magistrate did not doubt of .his having mace a bona fide purchase of the musket; still that did not excuse him ; the Act of Parliament was imperative, and for only having tho pro. petty in his possession., he was liable to a penalty of 101. The Solicitor to the Ordnance Department said the case was clearly proved, and called for judgment on the defendant--after calling 111 r. Ballis, Master of Arms, who identified the musket. The Magistrates said they were empowered to mitigate, and rediiced the penalty to 5/. An Excise-officer of Greenwich charged Thomas Messenger, a waterman, with acting in a most scandalous manner on Sa turday last. The officet stated that he hired a boat, 3635, with the name of " Messenger" thereon, to bring him from a vessel to the shore, and he offered the. waterman 3d., the sum of 2d. being his' fare : he refused to receive the 3d., and insisted upon more; an'd because he refused to give it him, he called him by the most vile name, rowed him into the middle of the Thames, kept him there half an hour and upWards, and refused to bring him on shore till he was paid a greater sum: he was deter mined not to subinit to imposition, and the patience of the waterman being exhausted, he thought proper to bring .him on shore, having previously threatened to duck him" in the river; and at the time he was leaving the boat, the waterman endeavoured by drawing it suddenly back to cause him to fall into the water. On the witness looking at the accused, he said he was not the man, or, however, he could not swear to him ; there' appeared four watermen of the same name, and . a trick might be played by one Messenger coming to personate another. The Magistrate said the case was a very flagitiouS one, and Ordered the whole four Messengers to be summoned, and then the right one would be got at.' PIA LL.—Yesterday a respectable tradeginan, named Porter, a window-blind-manufacturer, was charged by Thomas Anderson, a ruler of the King's Bench, with having taken from his apartments seven window-blinds. ' It appeared by the statement of the parties that the com plainant, who evidently wished to be thought a man of fashion, occupied splendid apartments in the rules of the King's Bench, and employed the defendant to make the blinds in question for his windows: When the defendant brought home the blinds, he Was requested to call' on a day that was named, when he should be certainly paid, on which assurance he consented to leave them ; but having called on the day appointed, and frequently after, without seeing any chance of being paid, on Saturday he expressed a wish to take hack the blinds, , and Was told by the complainant he might do so: Ile accoringly carried them out of the house, but had not proceeded many yards when he was followed by the complainant with cries of " Stop thief." The defendant was instantly surrounded by a crowd and given in charge' by the complainant to'a police officer who was present, for having stolen the blinds from his apartments. The Magistrate, on hearing.the case, expressed his indigna tion at the conduct of the complainant, and dismissed the charge. As the complainant was about to leave the office, he was taken into custody by an officer of the King's Bench prison, for having broken the rules by going to Union Hall to make the charge against the defendant, and was safely lodged-within the , walls of the prison. - , .„ • • • T - -DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERIES.—Mr. Hartley, of Stanhope-street, was stopped and knocked down between -EteVen and eight o'clock on Sunday. evenin in the New-road, leading from the Yorkshire Stingo to New Lord's Cricket:) Ground, by three villains armed with sticks, and robbed of two .sovereigns; some silver, and .. his watch. The. attack was and Mr. H. was picked up in a senseless state.- -- -, Mr. Thompson, of East-street, Manchester-' square, was knocked down and robbed of a valuable Old watch in Lisson- ' street, Paddington, by three fellows, who - got off. - • - - - BußGLAarts.---=-Before dark on Sunday even ing, some thieves broke into the house of a silk mercer and haberdasher, in Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell. and carried off velvets, silks, &c. to the amount of 4001. A fellow was seen to open the front door very deliberately before dark, by the oppo site neighbours; who had - no suspicion that he was doing wrong, or that the fast - lily Were out. The property was nc' doubt removed after dark.—Another burglary was committed on Saturday evening in Walcot-row, Chelsea. The house of Mrs. Pantouff was entered in the absence of the family, and a quantity of teaspoons; a watch, maker's name Hall, and other articles were stolen:. On Saturday last; the execution of Brierley - , for highway robbery, took place on the drop, in front of the House of Correction, in Chester. About half-past 12 o'clock, was communicated to the prisoner that the Sheriffs were in at tendance, in order to see the last melancholy duty of their office performed.—The executioner proceeded to pinion him, whilst Mr. Chesters, the gaoler, fastened to his legs' a heavy pair of irons, for the purpose of accelerating his death, Brierley being but a short man. This being done, the hangman expressed. to him a hope- for fotgiveness. " Aye; aye, (-replied the poor man, in a tone of voice which inferred that the re quest was unnecessary) forgive you - , aye ;- I forgive every body in this world." The Ordinary gave him Wine pious exhor, tations and advice.—" Oh, I thank GOD ! (he excraimedy I am quite comfortable ; CHRIST has made good his word with me. / forgive every one, and 1 know CiiitzsT has for .given me. In a few minutes I shall be in his presence in Heaven. Blessed be his name !" He was then conducted up the steps of the platform; the hangman having made the necessary preparations. lie mounted with a firm step When tied up, he turned round, and threw down a handker chief which he had in his - hand: The executioner then pulled the cap over his face, descended the steps, and immediately drew the bolt which supports the leaves of the drop, and the wretched convict was launched into the world of spirits. His body was much convulsed fot about a minute and a half after being turned off, when all motion ceased for at least half a minute. Convulsive struggles again ensued—the hands were closely gripped—the chest heaved several times, and the knees were bent upwards. In less than three minutes all struggling had ceased. He had spent a most abandoned life for several years past By trade he wawa dyer, and was employed in a very respectable concerti in Manchester. He was 34 years old this year. He was born in Salford, where his mother now lives ; and he has a brothel' residing at Wilinslow. MELANCHOEY AcciDENT.—Last night, at seVen . 6 1 clock, a very melancholy and distressing accident happened at the glass manufactory of Messrs. Bailey and Co.,.south back of the Canongate. When one of the workmen, of the name of Forman, was passing"the steam-engine to the cutting-shop, he slipped his foot, and the wheel of the engine caught hold of him, and drew him three times round before he could be ex tricated. When taken out, his body presented a Most shock ing spectacle, both his legs being broken, and the rest of his body most dreadfully mangled. There were some signs of life when he was taken out, but before he reached the In firmary he expired. He always maintained the character of a quiet, sober, and industrious man, and has left a dis tracted wife and large family unprovided or to lament his un timely fate.—( Edinburgh Courant, Sept. 19.) We stated some weeks ago, that it was in con templation to establish a communication between thiti town and Manchester, by means of a railway ; and, with the view of car rying this undertaking into effect, notice has been given of an application to Parliament next Session. It is also intended to have a rail-road from Newton to Bolton, thereby connecting the communication with that town and . Liverpool and Man. chester ' as the rail-road between these two places will pass through Newton.—( Liverpool Courier. ) A sm*rt shock of an earthquake was distinctly felt at Thinston near Newcastle, between one and two in the morning of Wednesday last, accompanied by a loud noise like distant thunder.
