'ather that the freeholder shentld vote for the town in which his freehold vise sittiate than that he should be called to rote for the county. It appeared to be the more consistent conese that the freehold tight s'hould be ex ercised in the boroughs and cities% The Hon. Member for Middlesex was himself e. VOA example of county re presentation.—(Langheet. ) He called himself a county Member, and yet made it a boast that he was completely returned by the freehold interest of the towns. He (Sir R. Peel) asserted that it was a mockery that an agti rultstral Member should be returned by the toWns. The Noble Lord was not able to deny that the amendment would simplify the operations of the Bill. His single :argument was that, by adopting the clause, the commercial and mannfactering interest would be amalgamated% Mr. RAAISDEN, we understood, objected tz the amend ment, because it tended to separate the agricultural and commercial classes. Mr. PRAED denied that the object of his motion was t effect diafranchisement. He contended that the public opinion generally was in favour of the view which he had taken. Lnrd MILTON said that the Clause as it now stood was exceedingly disliked in 'borough towns. Sir G. CLERK observed that every one who resided in a borough would be in future deprived of his vote for the county, and vote oaf! Tor the borough. If that were a good principle as to freeholders, he could not see what injury would be done by extending the same rule to fret holds under I pt. After a few words from the LORD-ADVOCATE and Sir R. Nat, the gallery was cleared for a division. The numbers were— For the amendment 9l Avtinst it Majority -90 BELGIUM. Sir RICHARD VYVYAN begged to abk whether the treaty for the constitution of Belgium as a separate king dom had been ratified, and, if so, when it would be pro duced? Lord ALTHORP sail that the treaty had been ratified by England, Prance, and Belgium, and that it would be laid on the table to-morrow (this day). Sir RICHARD VYVYAN—Then I beg leave to post pone my motion relative to the affairs of Belgium, which stands for to-morrow, until Tuesday. It would, of course, he impossible for the subject to be properly discussed, if the papers which relate to it cannot b.:. produced until a few hours before Members were called upon to to take it into consideration. DECCAN PRIZE MONEY. Sir C. FORBES begged to withdraw his motion upon this subject, understanding that there had already been a memorial with respect to it laid before the Treasury. Sir H. HARDINGE begged to ask the Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) whether the delay which had exis'ed in retarding the claimants for the Dec ran prize -money bad arisen from the conduct of the trus tees, or from that of the claimants themselves? Lord ALTHORP was glad to have the opportunity of stating that the delay was not in any degree attributable to the trustees. The motion wal then withdrawn. The other 0,1-ders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. 7-T WO MEMBERS VV ill of 501. and upwards having 'ote. Howard, P.

Why is not its religions observance, then, dispensed with altogether? Surely aliat the highest authorities in th land, including the whole bench of Bishops, abjure, cinnot he a very binding duty upon the rest of the community. REFORM PEERS.—We have looked into the list of Dormant Peerages just published, and a strange circumstance may occur in the division on the Reform Bill. We find that the ancient earldom of Salisbury was forfeited by the horrible execution and attainder of MAR 'GARET PLANTAGENET, Countess of Salisbury, in the reign of HENRY VIII., and the barony of Montague was for feited in the same reign by the execution of her son, HENRY POLE, Lord Montague, the brother of Cardinal REGINALD POLE ; the heirs of both were restored, in blood and honour, by Act of Parliament, in the reign of Prams and MARY, and their being no male issue, the earldom and barony being both in fee, continued in abey ance amongst the heir. of his two daughters, who married Lord HASTINGS and Sir FRANCIS BARRINGTON. The present .Marquis and Earl of SALISBURY, and the present Baron MoterAcuz, both modern creations, are Anti-Re formers, and should the KING terminate the abeyance in the ancient peerages in favour of Sir FITZWILLIAM BAR RINGTON, Bart., whose family have uninterruptedly pos sessed and resided on the royal manors held by the said Countess of SALISBURY, we should have the strange ano maly of an Earl of SALISBURY and Baron MONTAGUE voting for, and an Esri of SALISBURY and Baron MoN rAGulg voting against Reforra.—Dubliq Evening Post. Though there has been a great stagnation, almost amounting to a suspension of business in the money market, there is much excitement in the city generally, respecting the position of the Ministry, and rumours of other removals besides that of Sir HENRY PA RNELL have been in active circulation. They are to be traced in a great measure to the active exertions of the Tory party, who are as much elated in the city as they have shown themselves elsewhere, at any circumstance they have chosen to consider as indications of weakness in the Administra tion. They point chiefly to the government of Ireland, and to some of the minor posts in the Ministerial offices at home, not very important as regards the character of the kdministration, but of some consequence in regard to the loss of Parliamentary influence, which these removals, it ekeiceived, may occasion. We are not disposed to attach 'snuck c--edit to the se reports, but they have been urged with so rauch vehemence, and have obtained belief in quarters so revectable, that it would be a great omission, in attempting to describe what is passing in the city, not to advcrt to their eisterice. If capable of contradiction, too, which is most pro)able the case, it will greatly tend to relieve the minds of theme on whom they have made a disagreable impression. There is no want whatever in the city of the mast cordial feeling and good wishes for the Ministry, and for the speedy ti iumph of the Reform Bill: indeed, the anxiety manifested yesterday is an abundant proof of it, but that feeling makes men of course more anxious and irritable at the interruptions and difficulties that seem to be thrown in the way.— Times. Some discussion took place in the House of Commons last night on the presentation of a petition from Leeds in favour of the Bill fur limiting the hours of labour for children in manufactories. Mr. JOHN MORRISON (Banffshire) wished Scotland to be excluded en account of the kind treatment to children in mat country. Creelat .Ivderus Apella. We have received a statement from. Dundee, which tells a very different tale. The Scof& are a very good people in their way ; but they Ire as fond of becoming rich as their neighbours, and if as tliing harshet than the English. It is not easy, we addifel to protect a poor population from the exactions of rich employers; and there is much poverty in Scotland as well as in England. The law, however, ought to attempt at least to protect those whose tender age renders them unable to protect themselves. The poor laws have nothing to do with the question. In Lancashire there are few abuses in the poor laws ; but we never beard that the people of Lancashire, any mote than the Scotch, were remarkable for their milkiness of dispo , ition.-21forning chronicle. •fit NEW RULES FOR THE ASSIMILATION OF THE PRACTICE' IN THE COURTS OF COMMON LAW. niLittAir T 44, , td WILLIAM IV.

Mr. D'ARMANSPERG has been appointed Ambassador to England from Bavaria. We learn by the letters from Bogota that Choco had resolved to unite itself with New Granada, and that the other provinces of Cauca would follow this ex ample. The Constitution had pissed a second reading, and contained several important new features. The Con vention was also discussing a law relative to the public debt, and another on the restoration of several laws abro gated under the Dictatorship of BuelvAte, &c. A grant for a new road was under discussion, from the department of Jiren to San Pabloon, on the Magdalena, to avoid all the difficult part of the navigation. Steam-boats would he able to reach them at all seasons, which wou'd give an impulse to trade in the provinces of Pamplona and Socorro. A grant for a road from Chaparral to Tulua, in the valley of Cauca, was also under consideration. It is to traverse the Cordillera at the most eisy and lowest point, and offer a route for travelling thither with ease from Bogota in eight days. The separation of the centre of Colombia from Venezuela, and its formation into a new State, under the name of New Granada, was carried by thirty-one votes to thirty, and it was to be provided with a Constitution by the present Convention. BEASTLY CONDUCT OF A KING.—If the following extract, to be found in Lord Domes " Life of Frederick the Second," were not on most unquestionable authority, that of the Princess BA REITIJ, in her memoirs, one could hardly credit it. FREDERICK WILLIAM, the father of FREDERICK the Second, and herself, she says, " almost caused my brother and myself to die of hunger. He always acted as carver, and served every body but US j and when by chance there remained any thing in the dish, he spit in it, in order to prevent our eating it. We lived entirely upon coffee and milk, and dried cherries, which quite ruined my digestion. In return, I was nourished with invectives and insults; for I was abused all day long in every possible manner, and before every body. The KING'S anger went so far against my brother and my self that he drove us from him, forbidding us to appear in his presence, except at meals." And yet this " thing" was called " the father ! of his people." ANCIENT SAWS.—That the saws of the Grecian carpenters were pretty similar in form to those at present in use, is satisfactorily inferred from a painting found at Herculaneum, in which two genii are represented at the end of a bench, consisting of a long table, each end of which rests upon two four-footed stools. The in strument in this representation resembles our frame-saw : it consists of a square frame, having in the middle a blade or web, the teeth of which stand perpendicular to the plane of the frame. The arms too, in which the blade is fastened, have the same form as that which is at present given to them. The piece of wood which is to be sawn extends beyond the end of the bench, and one of the mirk men appears standing and the other sitting on t the ground. This is probably the must ancient authentic voucher for the early existence of an instrument resembling our common saw extant.—Dr. Lardner'.. Cabinet Cyclopcedia, Vol. XXIV. NOTTINGHAM SPECIAL COMMISSION. (From the Times.) PESI I ITE OP CRARLES BERKINS AND PHOMAS SHELTON. TUEStAt EirEtflN4s The meritorious exertions of the inhabitants of Notting , ham, to save the lives of the five unhappy men condemned to death at the conclusion of the late Special Commission, have not been entirely unsuccessful. Letters were received in the town this morning from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, communicating to the proper local authorities Ihe information that his Majesty 'had given directions that the sentence passed upon George Peek, George Hearson, and John Armstrong should be carried into execution on Wednesday next, but that be had been pleased to order that Charles neritins and Thomas Shelton should be respited during his pleasure. intelli gence of this change in the destiny of some of the con victs soon got into circulation, and though many were disappointed that the lives of all of them were not spared, there was a general feeling of delight throughout the town that two of them were rescued from the extreme penalty of the law. Naturally, since their condemnation, the behaviour of the convicts, upon the whole, has been well suited to their deplorable situation. They have attended regularly to their religious duties, in which they have been assisted by Dr. Wood, the chaplain of the prison, three methodist teachers, and Lady Lucy Smith, the wife of a gentleman of fortune in this county, and a daughter of the late Lord Melville. Armstrong appeared to receive the least, and Shelton the most, consolation from these religious confe rences. It was clear, however, the necessity of making their peace with God was by no means the leading object of their thoughts last week. The feverish restlessness which they displayed whenever he entered their cells, and some information which he received from some parties not in the gaol, induced Mr. Briarley to believe they were en gaged in some plan to effect their escape from his custody. He ordered them in consequence out of their cills iu order that he might more narrowly inspect their security ; and, on examining their beds, he found that Hearson and Armstrong had cut their blankets into long thin slips, and had made of them a species of ladder, by which they hoped to surmount the walls of their prison. It would have been almost impossible to have carried their project into execution without detection ; for, even supposing they had succeeded in getting out of their cells, in scaling the wall of their yard they must have attracted the notice of a military sentinel, who paces! night and day along a platform, which ran para lel with that wall and was a few feet higher than its summit. Of the post, which this soldier occupied, the convicts were perfectly aware; but they calculated on the chance of his missing them if he fired at them at all, and they argued that as die they must, it was less ignoble to perish by a bullet than by a rope. The discovery of this meditated escape compelled Mr. Briarley to put them in irons, and to deny them several minor indulgences which they had hitherto enjoyed. The men have submitted to these pre cautions with resignation, and complain of nothing but their want of power to frustrate them. It may here be as well to state, that Hearson and Shel ton are both married men. Shelton has children. Hear con has none. Armstrong has a numerous family, hut no wife. Beck is under promise of marriage to a young woman, now far advanced in pregnancy by him. He is, I understand, the nephew of Shaw, the celebrated Life Guardsman, who fell at Waterloo after slaughtering no less than seven cuirassiers of the Imperial Guard. Berkins has no wife or family. His parents, however, are still alive, and have a numerous family of daughters. Hear s ,n's mother is alive, and, I need not add, in the deepen tribulation at present. His wife, to whom he has been but an indifferent husband, had an interview with him yester day, and will see him no more. It was about eleven o'clock this morning that the letters from the Home-office, containing the respite of Berkins and Shelton, reached the High Sheriff. Berkins appeared like a man walking in a dream ; be was evidently stupi lied by the good fortune which hid befallen him. Shelton was more resigned, and was able to converse rationally. Both expressed their deepest gratitude to his Majesty for having delivered them from the grasp of a violent and un timely death. Whilst in the gaol I was also present at an interview which took place between Beck, Hearson, and Armstrong, and three of the leading members of the committee of operatives wbo subscribed their hard earnings for their de fence. These men came as a deputation from the com mittee, to know whether Beck, Hearson, and Armstrong, were satisfied with the exertions which they had made to obtain a commutation of their sentence. The convicts replied, that they were satisfied that every thing had been don e for them that could be done, and expressvd, in very grateful terms, their sense of the sympathy which their townsmen had displayed towards them. During this conversation, I had an opportunity of ob serving the prisoners very closely. Beck is much altered since his trial. He was then a fine fresh looking athletic young man ; he looks now twenty years older than he looked at that time, and is evidently much worn away by anxiety and grief. There is no visible alteration in the ap pearance of Hearson and Armstrong. This may perhaps be owing to their having buoyed themselves up with the hope of effecting their escape. Even at this moment Arm strong expresses his conviction that Government cannot be serious when it talks of hanging him, Poor wretch ! he will find himself mistaken. As I was leaving the prison I met Hearson's mother and sister descending the stairs which lead to his cell, in order to have their final interview with him. The ap pearance of the old woman was truly de.olate, and the in terview has, I understand, been of the most heart-rending description. Hearson was completely unmanned by it, and gave way to such a burst of grief, that Beck re quested his mother to leave hint, and led his companion in misfortune back to his cell, exclaiming " Caine, come, George, bear up, this agony will soon be over, and then, I trust, we shall all meet again in Heaven." Beck's sister came to see him to-day with a written list of the names of the persons whom she has asked to at-- tend his funeral. She asked him whether there were anv other persons whom he would wish to follow his remains to the grave. His reply was, "No ; he was quite con tent with the list which she had presented to him." It is a singular fact, that Armstrong owes his appre hension and his death to the revengeful feelings of a man whose jeitlousy he had excited. Armstrong is quite a provincial I)un Juan, and has been repeatedly in trluble with the parish authorities of Derby and Nottingham in consequence of his amorous propensities. On his trial, one of the witnesses for the prosecution swore that Arm strong had stated to him, that he had absconded from Nottingham on account of the prominent part which he had taken in the riots there. Armstrong ad mits that he did abscond from Nottingham, but he says that it was merely to avoid being taken into custody by the parish authorities, on account of a bastard child which had just been sworn to him. He went to Derby, where he lodged with a married woman of the name of Martin, who had been an old flame of his, but who had subsequently formed a liason with one Owen M'Gauley. M'Gauley became jealous of Amstrong, and i❑ consequence, as might be expected, a quarrel soon took place between them. M'Gauley requested another wo man to deliver a message for him to Mrs. Martin, stating that be had made up his mind to get rid of Armstrong, and that when he had done that, he would live with her in spite both of Armstrong and of her husband. He was as good as his word respecting Armstrong. lie gave the in formation that led to Armstrong's apprehension in the first instance, and that testimony subsequently on his trial which rendered his condemnation matter of certainty. Au at tempt was made to get Armstrong's sentence changed to a smaller punishment, on the ground that M'Gauley was in stigated by revenge to swear away the life of Armstrong, and that he was not in any respect the witness of truth. The greatest excitement prevails at present in the town, but it is not excitement of a dangerous character. The street before the Court-house is crowded with the friends and relatives of the unfortunate criminals, and you cannot move along the flags without bearing individuals lament that so great a sacrifice of life is to take place to-morrow- There has been an unnecessary display of military force in the town this day. About two o'clock to-day two six pounders were paraded round the market-place. In addi tion to the 15th Hussars, and the 18th Light Infant , y, who have for some time been stationed here, some troops of the Queen's Bays have marched in to form the garrison of the place. The yeomanry are also ordered out, as well as a numerous array of special constables. EXECUTION OF GEO. BECK, GEO. HEARS ON, AND JOHN ARMSTRONG. NOTTINGHAM, FEB 1. At a late hour last night the High Sheriff determined to defer the execution of these unfortunate men from eight o'clock in the morning to an hour after the arrival of the snail from London. This alteration in the time of the execu tion was made at the earnest solicitation of several humane individuals, who deluded themselves with hopes that the consideration of another day might induce the Govern ment to spare the lives of one or more of these misguided men. On entering the gaol, my first inquiry was re garding the manner in which the convicts had passed the night, and my next regarding the degree of fortitude with which they were likely to meet their approaching fate. 1 was informed that Eck and Armstrong had slept occa sionally durir4 the night; but that Flearson had been in a state of mind which required a frequent application of stimulants to keep him from fainting. As the morning ad— vanced he recovered his firmness, encouraged perhaps by 'the manly resignation exhibited by his two friends, Beck end Armstrong; and I was rejoiced to hear that their demeanour at this critical moment was such as befitted Christian then who had to undergo their terrible ordeal. At a quarter past ten the mail arrived ; hut brought with it no respire of execution. As soon as this was as certained, the men were led out of their cells to be pi nioned, Beck came first, Hearson next, and Armstrong last. They were pinioned in the same order. They bore this awful preparation for their last earthly sufferings with great fortitude. When the pinioning of Beck was con cluded, Mr. Payne stepped forward, and•requested him to lean his head against his (Mr. Payne's) side, till his cons peniens had submitted to the same ceremony. He ac cepted this offer, ejaculating occasionally prayers for mercy. After Hearson was pinioned, he reques•ed Briarley to let him have a glass of sherry. Armstrong joined in the same wish, as did afterwards Beck. The wine wag given them and they drank it. Hearson wished the executioner to banlage his eyes, that he might not be appalled by seeing the fatal beam on which he was to termi nate his existence. Armstrong dissuaded him from this, and exhorted him to meet his fate with the resignation of a Chris tian. Armstrong was pinioned without stirring a single muscle. Amid his ejaculations for mercy he kept saying, " They'll know me in Heaven as a murdered man." When the pinioning was completed they were marshalled into the lodge of the County Court, where the Rev. Dr. Wood again prayed for them. They inquired whether there was any necessity that they should be buried that day; and on being informed that there was not, they all desired that their funerals should not take place before Sunday. On Dr. Wood's concluding the affecting prayer which is always read to criminals just before their execution, and on his consigning them to God's gracious protection and mercy, the procession was formed to ascend the scaffold. B-ck ascended it first with great seriousness, but with a firm and unfaltering footstep. Hearson, who had joined with great fervour in all the devotional exercises of the morning, surprised all who had seen his previous conduit by the manner in which he behaved after mounting the scaffold. He took his cap off his bead, waved it in a sort of triumph, and began to dance like a maniac in his chains. He recognized some individual who was seated on a housetop opposite the scaffold, and immediately shouted out " Well lone, Will, lad." A person in the crowd slid to him, " Good by, Curley," addressing him by the name by which he was known in pugilistic circles, of which both he and Armstrong were great frequenters. This address set him to dancing again, arid I am inclined to attri bute his extraordinary conduct at this crisis of fate, not to any spirit of bravado, but to sudden delirium. He then turned round to the hangman, and complained that he had not an inch of rope. " Give me rope enough, that I may the sooner be out of misery." He then burst into a series of ejaculations fur mercy to his soul. Armstrong, who was brought last upon the scaffold, was much distressed on seeing, what I believe to have been, the frantic gestures of Hearson. He said to him, " None of that, George, it is not sense ; I must say that I am innocent, because I am so; but I'll have none of this." He was then tied up to the beam. About eight minutes were consumed in these necessary preparations. E'cactly at twenty minutes before twelve, the hangman dretv their caps over their faces, and that ceremony seemed to be the signal for a thousand voices to utter the fearful cry of " Murder !" and of " Blood !" This cry must have been ringing in the ears of the unfortunate men at the very moment when the withdrawal of the fatal bolt carried them from the tribunals of men, to appear at the bar of heavenly justice. They were clasping each other's hands at the moment they All, but the suddenness of their fall severed the association, and the agonies of death prevented them renewing it. They stregeled, but not violently, for five minutes. At the expiration of that time, their frames had ceased to heave, and life was evidently extinct. After the cry of murder had subsided, the multitude, which must have consisted of 8,000 or 10,000 people, be haved with great propriety and decorum. It did not, however, disperse until the hangman made his second ap pearance on the scaffold to cut down these unfortunate de linquents. This was done at twenty minutes before one o'clock. The bodies were then placed in their respective c (fins, and will be delivered to their friends in the course of to-morrow. At the time our express left Nottingham (half•past one o'clock,) every thing was quiet, and no disturbance was anticipated. The progress of civilization has given a nevr character to crime. In mountainous countries, and in ge n ral where the population is scanty, there is a greater intensity of feeling, and stubbornness of character, and the prevailing crimes are crimes of cruelty and vengeance. In cities and towns, the p issions are diluted by the multipli city of objects on which they are exercised; but the desire to enjoy is constantly stimulated, and he who is without property has great difficulty in resisting the temptation to take the property of others. In great cities and towns, murder is not committed from vindictive feelings or cruelty, but with a view to gratify the senses is some way or other. —Morning Chronicle. Lord HILL, as General Commanding-in- Chief, has given directions for the formation of two ad ditional military district., the head-quarters or stations of which are at Bristol and Dudley, in Worcestershire. Major-General Sir Ric HA RD DOWNES JACKSON, Assistant Quarter-Master-General to the Forces, has been appointed to the co:limy - id of the Severn, or Bristol district, which comprises the counties of Gloucester, Monmouth, Brecon, and Glamorgan ; and Captain DUNLOP, of the Grenadier Guards, has received the appointment of Aide-de-Camp to the Major- General. The Inland, or Dudley District, in cludes the counties of Worcester, Northampton, Warwick, Stafford, Shropshire, and Leicester; and Major-General A. CAMPBELL is appointed to the command. England and Wales are now divided into five military districts I EUROPEAN ARMIES.—The French army costs less to the Sta'e, with the exception of that of Aus tria, than any other in Europe—thus, for example :—The English army, amounting to 100,000 men, costs annually 246 millions (francs), according to the English Budget. That of Prussia, 100 milions, for 100,000 men; of Aus tria, consisting of 270,000 men, 160 millions. The whole expence of feeding, clothing, &c. each man in France is 733 f. ; in England, 2,162 f. ; in Prussia, I,ooof. ; in Austria, 6.51 f. This statement proves the advantage in favour of France (with the exception of Austria), and there the transports are paid by the localities, and the country possesses many peculiar advantages. The same difference is observable in the expences of the officers in France, where a General costs only 15,000 f., while in Austria his expences are 15,5851.; in England, 32,000 f. ; in Prussia, 24,000 f. ; and in Bavaria, 20,000 f. The " Garrick Club," established, as we have understood, for the encouragement and support of the le gitimate drama, was opened to its members yesterday for the first time. The house purchased by the Committee (a highly respectable body, including many persons of rank) is situated in King-street, Covent-Garden, late Pao- BAT'S Hotel, and because of its contiguity to the National Theatres, is most eligible for the purpose. The dining room is admirably appointed, and fitted up with good sub stantial taste, calculated to accommodate a fair average of the members who miy be expected to dine. The draw ing-room is upon a larger scale, the furniture of it excel lent, far more calculated for use thin ornament; still the ottomans fixed at the east end, are rather of a costly cha racter and exceedingly luxurious. Most of the noblemen and persons of rank who patronise the stage, dramatic writ-re, proprietors, managers of the metropolitan theatres, and distinguished actors, are members of this club, which bids fair to become one of the most popular in London. The Garrick would seem to possess a decided a dvantage ever clubs in general, inasmuch as the members a re nesrly all known to each other. By the advices from Washington we learn, that during th e l ast year the following treaties were con cluded with t h e I ndians in Ohio :—With the Senecas of Sandusky, extinguishing the Indian title to 40,000 acres of land in the counties of Seneca and Sandusky; with the Senecas and Shawnees of Lewistown, extinguishing the title to 10,000 acres, lying on the great Miami river; with the Shawnees of Wapaghkoonetta, extinguishing the title to 92,800 acres in the county of Allen ; with the Ottowas of Manmee, extinguishing the title to 19,760 acres ; with Wyandots, extinguishing the title to 162,216 acres. It will be s-en that the entire quantity of land ceded by the Indian tribes, in the state of Ohio, during the last ar, is 384,776 acres. MANCH ESTER, TUESDAY.—The individuals who were taken up on Sunday for being the leaders of a seditious meeting, were examin d before three Magistrates immediately after their apprehension, but nothing has transpired as to the result. It was rumoured that they were committed to take their trials at the ensuing Lan caster Assizes, but this is not thought to be true. We have since learnt that they are to he brought up to-morrow ; and Will then, probably, be committed to the tread-mill as vagrants. Loaded pistols were found on some,of:the men in custody, and pistol flints and gunpowder, in.:tile pockets of the " Chairman."
