, ,:' \t COURT CIRCULAR. Ilk MAJESTY, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived at St, James's Palace about half-past I o'cloel: ye~ter. ay afternoon, in a travelling chariot and four, from Windsor Castle. . _ . . Mons. ZE.A. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Miniver, had an audience of the KING, to which he was introduced by Viscnunt PALMERSTON 3151 Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir - ROBERT CHESTER, the Master of the Ceremonies, when his Excellency took leave of his MAJESrY. . Mr. LicriTENßußc, Hanoverian Privy Counsellor of Lvgition (recently arrived), had an audience of the Kiss. The Duke of CUMBERLAND and Prineesi SOPHIA vi,ited his Ala.rEsTv. In the course of the day the KING gave audiences to Earl GREY, Viscount MELBOURNE, Lord Hirt., Viscount GonEsactr, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Viscount ALTHORP, Lord Jolts RUSSELL, Viscount PALMERSTON, the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Sir JAMES KEMP, Sir B. STEVENSON, and Colonel LEE. Viscount ASIIDROOK lnd Admiral Sir HENRY BLACK WOOD were in attendance as Lord and Groom in waiting. About half-past 7 o'clock his ALIJESTV left town, escorred ny a party of Light Dragoons, on Ills return to Windsor Castle. Mr. IluncE, the, agent fur Jamaie I, accompanied by .Mr. BARRETT, the Speaker, and Mr. tioncsoN, a DI; tuber of the Asetnbly. forming a Committee sprciaq appointed by the Assembly of Jamaica, on a mission to the Govern ni«•nt, had a conference yesterday with Viscount CODE atcH, at the Colonial-office. Mr. JEREMIE has arrived-in town from the Mauri , ins, with despatches from Sir CHARLES COLVILLE, and had yoterday an interview at the Colonial-office with Vi , count GODERICH. The Judge Advocate-General has arrived in town from the Continent. DRURY-LANE. The admirable comedy of The Hppocrite was per formed at this theatre last evening, and the chief charac ter in it was admirably represented by car old friend DOWTON. This excellent actor, who has been absent from the theatre for the last two years, teas welcomed on • his return with the most hearty applause, and, had the audience been as numerms as the reception was warm, it would only have been a just tribute to the merits of this actor in the character of Dr. CahillAl. Perhaps it is not too much to say that no one ever acted it better. He personates the canting, hypocritical, selfish, and grovelling villain so to the life, that we every now and then forget the actor, and see only a low adventurer, who assumes the mask of religion and piety, to deceive silly women and ignorant tradesmen, for the gratification of his own ava ricious and sensual mind. The sly, cunning, insinuating, soft, and persuasive manner at the commencement—the sudden transition from this assumed tone to that of the heartless and ungrateful seducer when he is removed rob the eyes of the world—and his violence and• security at List, when he finds he is discovered, but believes he his the power of ejecting from the house his kind benefactor— were all given with an effect which justly excited the loudest applause. There is hardly, indeed, one part of his acting with which any fault car. be found. On former occasions he carried his ardour too far in the first attempt to sedure Lady Lambert, and generally displayed a rude ness and indelicacy of passion,offaisiee to modesty ; but this he avoided last night as tar as was consistent with giving due effect to a scene which must always be ntrensive to every virtuous and well-regulated mind. We cannot say so much for the rest of the actors. Mr. CoorEtt per formed his part ( colonel Lambert) respectably, as lie always does, and Mrs. NESBITT acted with great spirit as Charlotte, but HAhLEY was anything but successful as Muw.worm. It is not at all suited to his style of acting at any time, and his coming after LisToN made his inabi li,y only the more apparent. That constant tendency which he has to buffoonery, and his irregular tread on the stage—sometimes running, and sometimes walking with unmeaning solemnity —may do very well in saint p u ts, hut are totally out of place in such a character as Mart worm. His rhapsody from behind the scene was only to lerably done, and though an encore was demanded by the god., it was not assentd to by the rest of the audience without loud marks of disapprobation. COVENT-GARDEN. Last night a very excellent farce called The Clutter- Lochs; or, the Railway - of 'LOre, was produce] at this theatre. The piece is full of 'bustle and intrigue frOm is commencement to its conclusion, arid it his the great ad vantage of being very stroligly' vast.' The pietie cipens . with a distant view of the Manchester railway, wont which two trains-of carriage. are .seen to pass; and shortly after this Captain Dashall (Mr. F. Vistiqd), attended by his servant Twist (Mr. JONES), appear on the scene, arid they very soon succeed in persuading .314 Poo. - :///, the father of the heroine (Mr. F. MATHEws), that the for Mer is Mr. Alexander Clutterbitch, jun., who is affianced 'to, many Mr. Poo:ly's daughter, but who is not knoWn to: the family. However, Mr. Alexander C7utterbtich, sen. (Mr. BARTLEY), soon after this arrives, and his denial of Captain Dashull as his son is attributed to his anger at his son's having been extravagant. In the midst of this confusion the real Clutterbuth, jun. (Mr. KEEr.ty) ar rives, and he, who is the perfect model of an - exquisite, to escape his father's anger, agrees to aseert that the Captain: is really the son of Alexander ( lutterhtck, he himself is Totes Smith, a val, t. This enrages 'Clutier-1 Loch, sen., beyond all measure, and he is ultimately rest, d by two Sheriff's officers instead of his son, through; the instrumentality of the Captain's servant, Twist ever the Captain causes his release, and obtains the Tidy. The dialogue of the piece is very spirited, and the acting of it could not be better. The perf , rinance of Mr. Barr LEY, Mr. KEELEY, and Mr. JotiEs was particularly good; and the acting of Mrs. KEELEY, in the character of a waiting-maid, was also - much and deServedly applauded. The piece was completely successful, and was annotinced to be repeated every evening till further notice. CHURCH PROPERTY. The following' extraordinary letter from the Eat! of Guilford to the Secretary of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners has just appeared : " Sir,-1 have to acknowledge the receipt of a letter signed by you in the quality of Secretary to the Commis •ioners appointed to inquire into the - revenues of the Church. I have no personal objection to the puhlication of my private property in the Church (grossly exaggetated by the revolution ay pal t of the Press), but my regard for public liberty, aiarmingly invaded by an inquisition into the amount and nature of the property of individuals. If the annexation of service rendered it the properly of the Crown or of the public, alt ough freely bestowed by the original proprietars upon the sole condition of the pecu liar service, all freehold possessions would be (piny de pendent and insecure. But such has not been the consti tution of rights in this or any other country. The con dition being performed, neither the King nor the great Lord has had the power to reclaim or alter the tenni e of his grant. I also hold the maxim, that what Parliament has granted Parliament may reclaim, to be destitute of justice and moral principle. But the property of ay.: Church has not been granted by Parliament—only con firmed and pronounced inviolable by the authority of the law. " Fearinz, on this account, the sc&ght of precedent and custom in the establishment of a principle, I cannot con• sent to compromise my rights, except in obedience to au thorities legally constituted. Were such a commission to be instituted by Parliament, which I cannot contemplate as a probable event, I must submit my civil liberty to the law of the land. But voluntarily to acknowledge the pro perty of the Church to he public property, and conse quently at the disposal of the public, whether for the pur p.,se of deprivation or distribution, in principle the same, would be, in my opinion, a dereliction of duty. Assent to that untenable proposition would be implied in try Ll swers to the proposed questions. " I beg to assur e the Commissioners that lam not ac tuated by a spirit of faction and contumacy, or disinclina tion to disclose my pecuniary concerns, in withholding the infOrmation required, but by a regard fcr public liberty and a sense of duty ; being convinced that the property of the Chutch once admitted to be public, which I deny upon the authority of ancient Statutes, and universal evi dence of its endowment, would shortly cease to belong to it. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your very humble servant, " October 30. " GUILFORD." " To the Seer — :ta.ry of the Marti of Commi , isioners, ap i:linted to inquire into the Revenues of the Church." Reports state that Earl GREY and the LORD CuANcErroa have always expressed their opinions at the meetin;s of the Cabinet in favour of dissolving the Parliament early in December, and it now seems that some obstacles i❑ the way of such an arrangement have been removed. Of the present Cabinet, nine are Peers of Parliament, and six are Members of the House of Commons. The WELLINGTON. Cabinet was composed o twelve individuals—seven Peers and five Members of the House of Commons. - c • :4 1 / 4 , • kIGENCE. FA SHINNABLE INT, r<" ARRIVALS:- ".

" • • Am olive shooting coat; made single-breasted, and lined through ; to the belt is suspended a pouch for game. ADDITIONAL NOVELTIES IN GENTLEMEN'S DRESS. For morning frocks, the Brighton beaver or Harrington is the most fashionable ; they are bound round with Prussian binding, velvet lappels and fringe are absolutely necessary. The most prevailing colours are black, blue. and, mulberry. In dress coats there is no particular alteration; skirts are worn as small, and collar as short as last month. In brown and olive lappelled coats, white or gilt buttons are becoming general. Morning waistcoats are mostly of the Thibet shawl, or silk swansdown, made double-breasted, with large lappets to button over. Dress waistcoats are single-breasted, with full rolling collars ; the most fashionable materials are silk and figured velvet. For morning trousers there is a variety of new patterns in broad and narrow stripes in kerseymere. GREAT COATS.—They are trimmed for the most part with two rows of buttons. They cross very little in front; the skirts are long and lined throughout; the pockets placed bias in the front of the skirts are always fashionable; some are made with flaps upon the hips. These observations apply to morning coats only. As for those worn in out-door dress, and properly called great coats, they have always a broader lappel, and a collar that fastens in front; they fasten down the front by straps at tached on the inside. These coats have a doublepigtire at the edges, the seams of the body, sleeves, &c. &c., are piquges plat and with doublepiqfires also. We see somelikewise that have the body divided across by a piqiere similar to that of the shape, and forming a point in the centre of the back. There 'are also great coats with the skirt plaited at the side of the hip; and the sleeve also plaited at the shoulder. COATS.—They are of two kinds—dress and fancy. Fancy Coats are made in cloths of different colours : those called Robert-le-Diable, Dap de Moire, and bronze antique have an elegant effect. Skirts of a large size, and a collar either cleft, or of the shawl kind, are most in favour for those coats. BurroNs FOR FANCY COATS.—Those of the sugar loaf shape cut in a new style are very fashionable. Bjjou buttons are still more stylish, but their extravagant price makes them little worn ; they are adopted by some ezquisites for black dress coats. WAISTCOATS. —Those made to button from bottom to top are the most fashionable, there are some also which only button as high as the shoulder; the top turns over by a straight fold, which comes no further than the front of the shoulder; the s ~, hind part of the collar does not turn back. Light coloured cashmere waistcoats are always edged with black. NEW MATERIALS FOR WArsrcoars.—Cashmeres are de cidedly the most fashionable. Next comes the duvet oriental, which is just introduced; it has a very thick ground with a pat tern figured in relief. There are also a great many fancy silk articles, of which we shall probably take further notice, when we have ascertained that they are either fashionable, or likely to become so. Some cashmere waistcoats have already appeared, the ground is aventurine, thickly covered with a small pattern. These waistcoats are of the shawl kind, trimmed with two rows of buttons, and edged with narrow black ribbon. We have re marked also some light blue cashmere waistcoats of the shawl form, trimmed with small gilt cut buttons. PANTALOONS:—Those open before with small or large pants, are equally in favour. Bands on the'sides, whether they are of velvet, galoon, passepoil or cloth, 'are equally fashionable. We may cite for trimmings of that kind, a broad silk galoon with a piping at each edge, leaving a strip of cloth between the galoon and the piping. Another trimming is formed of a band of cloth cut crosswise. MONTHLY MILITARY 0131 1 VARY. LIEUT.-GENERAL—Lord Macdonald, late of Gren. Gds, MAJOR-GENERAL—Sir Alexander Bryce, K.C.H., Eng. Insp.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT for OCTOBER The past month has exhibited much of that delightful autumnal weather which frequently distinguishes it; and it has not only been pleasant and agreeable, but seasonable for the operations of husbandry. At the beginning of the month there was rain, descending steadily, without impetuosity, but copiously enough to prepare the uplands for the due reception of the seed-wheat; and, although sowing commenced some what later than usual, the business, when once entered upon, proceeded rapidly and uninterruptedly, and was finished in good time upon the light, dry, cold, and less fertile soils of the kingdom. The succeeding part of the month was dry, and afforded an opportunity for working and sowing those lands, of deeper and stronger staple, whose semination does not begin so early as the other; and at the close of the month there have been again mild and gentle rains, exceedingly favourable to the early sown wheats, yet not enough to interrupt the preparation of those soils on which November is the usual time for wheat-sowing. A finer sea. son for this important work of husbandry, as far as it has gone, never has been known. The seed.corn this year has been good, and the young wheats are coming up with a thick and good plant; in some places they cover the ground with ver dure. Providence still bountifully vouchsafes unto us a con tinuation of mi d and open weather, holding a middle course between the extremes of drought and wetness, and the labours of semination still continue to be carried on with vigour and success on suitable and appropriate soils. Turnip wheat is go ing into the ground, tir.der auspicious circumstances, on those farms whose cultivators have been skilful, or fortunate enough to secure an early crop of that valuable root, in this baffling year, and have bestowed them advantageously on ad vancing the condition of their autumnal sale sheep. It is but a repetition of what was said last month, but it would be an omission not to notice the continued growth and improvement of the turnip crop. On soils naturally kind, or full of manure, it is prodigious ; on other soils, less fortunately constituted, or less li, berally treated, the improvement is obvious, although less considerable or beneficial. Stubble turnips, on good ground, make an appearance that indicates a probability of a good portion of spring feed; in many places they have been regularly hoed out, and continue to grow abundantly ; and, with a mild November, all the backward crops will go on increasing their bulbs. Rye and winter tares have come up well, but are not very forward in general. Young clovers and grass-seeds exhibit a strong and good plant, though not over gross or luxuriant, and pastures, where laid up, have made a tolerable shoot for the time of year. There is little to be added to the account given in a former report of the yield of the dif ferent corps... Of all there is an average return, and perhaps something more; but of the degree in which this average may be exceeded, or of the productiveness of the several sorts of grain relatively to each other, it is as yet impossible to speak with any degree of correctness. Potatoes are a scan tier crop than last year. Apples are abundant. In the Corn-market a considerable depression has taken place; the last average prices are only for wheat 51s. 3d.; barley, 295. 3d. ; oats, lSs. 101 These prices are low, and apprehensions are entertained that they may sink still lower. The continental marts do not seem to display such a depression as our own ; and should this continue to be the case, we shall probably not experience the additional burden of an overwhelming importation.' The prices of cattle and sheep at some of our late fairs seem to have rallied a little; the supply has not been large, and the stock exposed for sale has, for the most part, been disposed of at an advance. Wether lambs and two_toothed wethers have been most in request, but with all descriptions the price is considerably lower than at this time last year. Useful good horses above mediocrity, whether for draught or saddle, have been selling at fair prices, although the trade is by no means particularly brisk. Hops are advancing in price, with a firm steady demand, bDth for home consumption and for exportation. Wool has been somewhat more in request, unaccompanied, how ever, with any decided advance of price for our native growths, except, perhaps, Anglo-merinos, which, in some instances, have been parted with on rather better terms. The prospects of the farmer are not very cheering ; neither, as far as prices go, is there anything to cause despon dency. If he was able to struggle over last year, he may ex. pea to weather the ensuing one. Comparing the two, it is pro bable that where he grew two quarters of wheat last year, he will grow three in the present one. Now if he can keep the averages at 50s. per quarter, which may reasonably be expected, three quarters at this price will be better than two at the ave rage price of last year. The same proportion, or something approachingt o it, will probably be found to oecur in the growth of barley, in the two years respectively, and consequently the same reasoning will apply to the price of that grain also. In oats the difference will be less considerable, as the crop of 1831 was better in proportion to other grain. It is, however, but too true that our sheep and our wool are considerably lower than last year, without anything to compensate for the dif ference of price. There is, indeed, another circumstance which, as it has formed the burden of the reporter's song for some years past, has, unfortunately, for a still longer period, been a burden on the farmer's finances. This is the amount of the rates and assessments he has to pay, And, above all, the overwhelming poor-rate. From this he can hope no relief while the present system continues; because it is of its very essence to create those paupers it professes to re. lieve. They are fighting, and murdering, and burning in Ire. land, to resist the collection of tithes, and we seem almost ready to do the same in England. From such atrocious wickedness as has been perpetrated in our unfortunate sister kingdom, every good man must shrink with horror, and better would it be to submit to almost any imposts than to purchase an indemnity from it at such a price. Yet surely, while we are clamorous, and justly so, for some adequate revision of the tithe system, it is a fatuity almost inconceivable quietly to sub mit to another burden on the land, always equal, arid some times triple, in amount ; a burden constantly increasing in intensity and mischief; a burden ruinous alike to " him who gives and him who takes," as, while it impoverishes the payer, it demoralises the receiver. The Marquis and Marchioness of ABER CORN are expected to leave Huntley Lodge, in Aberdeen shire, the seat of the Duke of GORDON, on the 12th or 14th inst., on their way to Baron-court, their magnificent residence, in the north of Ireland. The Noble Bridegroom has not visited his extensive estates in Tyrone since he at tained his majority. Lord and Lady ABERCORN are ex pected to remain a month at Baron-court, and return to Bentley Priory, for the Christmas. Shugborough, the splendid chateau of the Earl of LICHFIELD, in Staffordshire, has been the scene of gay festivity to welcome the arrival of the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, who stayed at Shug borough during Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last. The Noble Master of the Buck-hounds hospitably enter. taintd a large party of fashionables on the occasion, among whom were the Marquis and Marchioness of TAvisrocic, Lord WATERPARK, Lady WATERPARK and Miss CAVEN DISH, the Baron and Baroness De RUTZEN, Lieutenant. General Sir GaoacE and Lady ANsos, Mr. and Mrs. FREDERICK ANSON, Mr. LITTLETON, M.P., gcc. In ho. nour of their Royal Highnesses' visit, the Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry, of which Lord LICHFIELD is Lieut.- Colonel, were called out, and his Lordship gave a fete to the whole regiment on Thursday, marquees b e i ng p i tc h e d inthep of ar th k, eo inherecrp,. T a -subshte officers substantial repast wa s g i ven to t h e privates had the honour of dining with their Royal Highnesses at Shugburough. A salute of 21 cannon announced the approach of the illus. trious travellers to Shugboreugh, which' they quitted on Saturday, to honour the Earl of LIVERPJOL -with a visit at Pittsford-hall, near Shrewsbury. AN IRISH ELECTION BILL. A true copy of an account furnished Sic Marcus So. inerville by a publiean of Trim, after an election:-- To eating sixteen freeholders above stairs, for Sir Marks, at 3s. 3d. a lietvi, 2/. 12s. To eating sixteen mote below stairs, and two clergymen after supper, 15s. Tu six heels in one room and four in the other, at two ,znineas every b..d, three or four in a bed every night, and cheap enough, God knows, 22/. 15s. To twenty-three horses in the yard all night, at 13d. every one of them, and for a man watching them all night, 5/ ss. Breakfast and tea next day for every one of them, and as many as they brought with them, as near as I can guess, 41. 12s. For beer, and porter, and punch, for ti c first day and niOit, I am not very sure, but I think for the three d tys and a half of the election, as little as I can call it, and to be very exact, is in all, or thereabouts, as near as I can guess, and not to be too particu!ar, 791. 15s. 9d.

THE KING V. PINNEY, ESQ. JUDGMENT. Before Mr. Justice LITTLF.DALE, Mr. Justice J. PARSE, • and Mr. Justice TAUNTON cone into Court this morning, they held a consultation with several Judges belonging to the oth, r Common Law Courts in the king's Bench Chamber, it was supposed respecting this case. On the above named three Judges taking their seats, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE gave judgment. This was an information filed by his Majesty's Attorney-General against Charles Pinney, who was therein stated to have been Mayor of Bristol and Justice of the Peace, and the ' question the Jury would have to consider ref rred to the conduct of that pers-n as Chief Magistrate of one of the largest cities in the kingdom during a period when there occurred the most lamentable and serious riot that lard happened fir half a century. He was charged with a cri minal neg'eet of the duties of his office, and thereby occa sioning a great pat t of the loss of life and property which then took place. The question was of such vast import ante, that instead of having it tried in the ordinary way at NisiPcius, it was deemed expedient to have it tried be fore several Judges, in order that it might meet with a more solemn investigation and discussion. At the commence ment of the case, there was a full Court, but unfortu nately Lord Tcnterden, who had struggled hard during the first three days, felt himself under the painful necessity of then ab.enting himself. There could be no doubt upon the law, that if a public officer be guilty of any cri minal neglect of his duty, he was liable to either an in dictment or a criminal information ; but he was not aware of any former instance of this description, except in the case of Mr. Bennett, Lord Mayor of London in 1780, who was tried on a criminal information before Lord Mansfield, at Guildhall. He was charged with not read ing the Riot Act, and also with general neglect of duty,—so that the circumstances of that case partly differed from the present, because in this case, there was only a charge of general misconduct during the whole of the proceedings from an early hour on the Saturday morning until about the same hour on the Monday. Therefore the present charge was now vague, and contained a greater latitude for inquiry, and it re• quired more attention than if it were reduced to one specific charge. His Lordship then detailed generally the history of this case, commencing with the state of popular feeling against Sir Charles We therell in consequence of his Parliamentary conduct, the apprehension.; of a riot, and the interview between a de putation from the Corporation and Lord Mdbaurne relat ing to the postponement of the Assizes ; and proceeding in general terms to describe the riots to their terininaiion, as they bad been more minutely detailed in evidence. Having so done, the Learned Judge observed, that the result of all the inquiries into the proceed ings was the present information against the Mayor. and nine others against other Magistrates. He would next state what the law upon this subject, in his opinion, was, leaving his Learned Brothers (Mr. Justice J. Parke, and Mr. Justice Taunton) to give their opinions, if they sew fit. He first read all the charges in the information of neglect of duty in not using the awhority, vested in ti e Mayor to suppress the riots. He then observed that all persons, whether Magistrates or peace-officers, entrusted with autho rity to suppress a riot were put in a most difficult situation how to act, for if the power the law gave them be exceede.t, and if death or destruction of property he caused, they were liable to be indicted for murder, manslaughter, or misdemeanour, as the case might Ie ; and on the other band, if they neelected to use the authority of time law, and did not do enough they were liable to a criminal in formation. The Jury, therefore, would consider all the circumstances in which this defendant was placed. A Magistrate was bound in law to adopt the precise line between an excess of power and not enough ; and the Jury were to consider whether this defendant had acted upon that precise line, for if he had not come up to that point lie was liable to this information. That situation was, certainly, one of difficulty ; but it was a situation which be was placed in by the sate of society. If a man sought an office like that of Mayor, which was generally the case, or if it be the case of a peace-officer who did not seek his office, but was forced to accept it, the law was the same in both cases; because, unless a person in either case did his duty reasonably and properly, there would he an end po all security, and the country might be given up to plunder. However honourable and honest the intentions at the persons might be, yet if he did not act strictly according to law, he was li able to the present prosecution for neglect of duty. A Iran was bound to do his duty according to law, what ever his intentions might be, and the Jury were to con sider whether the defendant in this case hail done so. Then, if the defendant be charged with not doing his duty, it was a question for consideration, whether lie had done all in his power to suppress the riots that could have been ex pected " of a man of honesty and ordinary prudence, firmness, and activity under the circumstances in which he was placed." That was a question for the Jury to consider. As applicable to this case the points under the general rule were these:--Did he toe the means the law reiptired to assemble a sufficient force to endeavour to suppress the riots ? That was a most material point. Another question, also a very mate rial one, was, Did he make all the use a reasonable and honest man ought to do, and which the law required of his authority and the means at his disposal. It appeared that the Mayor acted under the advice, on many occasions, of Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, who hail been the Town Clerk for 19 or 20 years, and therefore he had the best legal advice that could be expected to be given. Major Mackworth also, a military man of great experience, and of great spirit, give the Mayor such advice as he could, and he stated that the Mayor acted most properly. Now, if a public officer, wha was neither a soldier nor a lawyer, acted by the advice of those beet calculated to give it, the July would take that into consideration in determining the Mayor's guilt or innocence. Still, in point of law, if the Mayor erred, lie could not shelter himself from the consequences by the advice he sought. The Jury, however, would say whether the advice under which he acted was not the hest, recollecting that it was given on the spur oldie moment, and by persons who had the opportunity of seeing what was going on at the time. As a general remark, his Lordship would observe, that in determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant, the Jury were not to consider what might have been done had all the calamities which did ensue been foreseen ; if it had been foreseen that the military would be withdrawn, and that such a destruction of property would be caused, it was possible that, by greater exertions, a greater civil and military force might have been collected; on the other hand, a great force might have been collected, and if no riot had taken place, the Mayor might have been laughed at. The Jury were, therefore, to consider merely what did occur, and whether Mr. Pinney on the occasion, and under all the circumstances in which lie was placed, faithfully discharged his duty. The Jury, or many of them, were probably Magistrates, and were there fore able to decide what a Magistrate was expected to do on such an occasion. There were various acts charged of a general neglect of duty, and of not protecting the gaols, the Bridewell, the Palace, and various other buildings. if it should so happen that any of the Jury were of opinion, there was neglect of duty proved on any one occasion— for instance, if four were of opinion that neglect was proved on one occasion, and eight of a different opinion, but that neglect was proved on another occasion, that would not be sufficient to establish the charge ; the whole twelve must be of opinion, before they could return a verdict of Guilty, that there was a neglect of duty proved on some one point. His Lordship then divided the various charges, and detailed the evidence with respect to each. The first ground et complaint was, that on the Saturday the Mayor did not employ a sufficient force and head them ; and that he secreted himself in the Mansion-house. It appeared, how ever, in evidence, that 300 constables had been employed, which number had been at first deemed sufficient; that the Mayor, though he did not head them, read the Riot Act and harangued the mob, and that his life was considered to be in danger. As to his heading the con stables, that was a duty which was always much better left to the chief constables, and could form no ground of complaint. It was true that the Mayor was in an upper story of the Mansion-house, but that was only because in a lower room he would have been in danger from the stones thrown at him. It was then charged that he did not organize the constables. The word organize was new both in law and in the English language, and he had certainly never seen it before either in an information or an indict ment; hut he did not know that it was the duty of the llay lo Mayor thatto n,as organize mo or ar ray the duty yof constables; sht head constables he ceiveMajor Mackworth, however, who did array the constables, and disperse the mob, acquitted the Mayor of all blame, and at 12 or 1 o'clock on that night the city was quiet. It appeared further, from the testimony of Mr. Hare, the Under Sheriff, that the mob on that Saturday was not greater than usual at elections in Bristol. The next charge against the Mayor was, a want of energy. It ap peared in evidence, that the Mayor was desirous that the troops should fire on the mob, but was dissuaded from giving the order by the advice of Major Mack worth and Colonel Brereton. If he had exerted that sort of energy, and ordered the troops to fire, many live tn'ght have been lost, and if he had been indicted fo murder it would have been difficult for him to defend himself, leaving acted contrary to the advice of two militar men. The Learned Judge said he mentioned that to shoe Vie difficult situation in which a person might be placed fn• if he went too far, he was liable to one species of pro secutfon, and if he did not go far enough, he was liable te a criminal information. The next charge was, that ht did not keep a sufficient force of constables in the Man• sion-house during the Saturday night. The answer td that Was, that the riot Veal over, and it was not ice• cessary. It did appear that after Major Alackwortl had organ'zsd the constables and dispersed the mob all was quiet, and if there really was no appearand dila :nob he could not see the necessity of keeping con. stables there all night. It ssemed th it the riot was create( by the arrival of Sir Charles Wetherell : anti when the pc ogle were informed that he had left the town it :nigh . b, supposed that there was no longer any necessity to keep up a civil force. The most material chargé Wee, tha the M.yor did not use those means which the law re. quit ed on the Senday morning to suppress the riots. There • were two Acts of Parliament, the lst:Geo. IV., chap. 37 . and the Ist Williem IV., chap 31, which authorised Ma• gistrates to call out special constable's, and provided. for the punishment of those who refused to attend. By those Ae•ta, it was reacs•ary for some person to make oath before :1 Magistrate that a riot was expected before the Dla• gistrate could call the special constables out. I❑ this case it did not appear that any person made the necessary oath, and therefore the Jury might throw those Acts of Parliament altogether out of their consideration. The question, then, was, whether the defendant had done what the general rues of the common law re quired. The general nature of the duty of a Justice of the Peace, with regard to the t ioters, was to restrain, pursue, and arrest them. They had authority to call on any of the King's, subjects, who were bound to assist them when reasonably warned. The Jury would have to consider whether- the defendant hod done so in this case. It was proved that, in the forenoon of Sunday, the Magistrates had nut employed that civil force which it was said they might ►save done. It was said there were no M , gistrates to receive those who off•red themselves, and that afterwards when the Bride well. the Gaol, the Toll-house, the Dock-gates, the Bi shop's Palace, the Custom-house, the Mansion-house, and the houses in Queen-square were attacked, there was no adequate civil firce. That was a prima facie case to call upon the Megi,trates to show what they bad dune to ex culpate themselves. The answer to that charge was, that on Sunday morning, as sewn as the Mayor went to the Mansion-house, he began to concert measures ; that he directed the vonstables who were on duty the day bee fore to be summoned ; that he personally called as many inhabitants, and desired them to come to the Guildhall, and tee bring others with them. That was Sunday morn ing, when the people were naturally expected to be con gregated in their reepec , ive places of worship. It ap pear d that the Ma) or sent summonses to the church wardens of the parishes, and notices to all the places of woe ship, calling for the assistance of his fellow-citizens. Bills were posted about the town, and distributed at the different houses, calling on the inhabitants to go the Guild hall ; and if a proper number had assembled, probably the calamities that had occurred would have been pre vented. The Jury were to consider whether Mr. Pinney had done ail lee could upon the occason. It appeared the notices were read to the congregations in the places of worship. If the Jury were of opinion. that that was a sufficient warning by the Mayor for persons to come to his aid, then, according to law, he had done all in his power. Thee, it that were a reasonable warning, was it dune in sufficient time ? It appeared that the riot of the preceding .lay had been suppressed. Major M xlsworth did not deem it necessary to remain, and was the Mayor to contemplate a riot on the Sunday, and send the notices sooner than be did ? He appeared to have sent the notices as soon on the Sunday as he expected a riot. Sending them to the various places of worship was, in his Lordship's opinion, the most expeditious mode of getting aid that could be devised, and if the Mayor did all that he was required to do, he could not fairly be charged with neglect of duty on that occasion. It appeared that on the notices being served many persons refused to attend ; one person made a joke of it, and said the Mayor had better call out the tire engine to pump on the mob. However the church wardens came to the Mayor and stated the refusal of their parishioners to attend to the summons, and from one cause or another not more than 150 attended; pos sibly the population of Bristol was an hundred thousand of whom perhaps 50,000 were male adults. It might be fatly said that there wet( 20,000 able to bear alms, and of that number only 150 attended. That certainly was not a sufficient force to suppress the. riots. But even that force would not all serve. Some would not act without the military, some not with the military, and others would nut act without they had fire-arms. Now, although the Mayor might be justified in allowing the use of arms; yet indiscriminately to distribute arms to persons not trained to the use of them, would be at least injudicious, for the mob might rush on them, and take the arms, and use them against the civil force. At the second meeting at Guildhall, the number of persons who attended was less than the first. If, however, the Jury thought that the Mayor did all he could to collect the inhabitants, it vine not his fault that they did not assemble in greater numbers. Then, with regard to the Mayor not calling out a sufficient force, it had been said by variou, witnesses, that a large holy of persons had assembled in the Commercial-rooms: who were ready, if called upon, to act. The Learned Judge thought it no part of the Mayor's duty to give notice to the persons assembled in the Commercial rooms► having already given a general notice to the whole of the citizens bafore. The persons assembled in the Cow mercial-room knew perfectly well, from the notice that bad een given, that the citizaiis were required to assemble 0 the Guildhall; and it was natural, therefore, to suppose that any other persons assembled at the Commercial-rooms, who felt an anxiety to act, would have immediately g one to the Guildhall on their own accord. It appeared from the evidence given on both sides that there was considerable apathy on the part of the inhabitants of Bristol, and no very great disposition to suppress the riots. This bad been clearly shown at the Mansion-house, and there was no reason to suppose that the persons assembled at the Commercial-rooms had a different opinion. It was im possible, therefore, in the opinion of the Learned Judge, to substantiate a charge of neglect of duty against the Mayor on that point. Another charge against the Mayor was, that he had not called out the Chelsea pensioners, of whom there were a great nurn" bee in Bristol. With regard to that it was apparent to the Learned Judge, that the Mayor was no more bound t 3 call upon them than any other of the King's subjects. Further, there was not time to call them out on the St welly, after which day there was no reason to content° plate a continuance of the riots. On the Sunday, some of the pensioners, about twenty in number, applied at the 11l to tender their services, but their numbers being So few, they were not sufficient to do any good. The question then was, had the Mayor made the best use of the force which he had got together? It appeared, in the first Mayor,np i x i place, b that irieras st t o h no e n r o e af et was choetii a rn n td i os indispositiondislike esoi rf ticehcianrolßrepsroi Wetherell,sr a t otilot Corporation. f t aa t nn h ydd e , y of the forces that had been drawn up had actua t l h ly r deseLte to their posts in consequence of that feeling. the ( 1 1. , a a 'i r Yi t inng' w oiot i n t nu h itnt g that aa" te in' t e r i yer s l oe e nosf t a t ithetaetni actually ae:nslerliyg"slpiti Sheriff appeared persons e l sfe having who r a aW e v . s n os :p the had O c r e part con stablesl ine nolday a much larger civil force had been organized that it i t t h a e m d o a u y nt l e 'e d ro t r o e' between 1,500 and 2,000 men. A different state of things had at this time arrived, the mili' Lary were in the town, and the inhabitants had been lin' pressed with a different feeling than that which existed 0 ° the Sunday. A great number of private houses had heel' destroyed, and the inhabitants began to feel that unles s they took some acti ve steps, all property in the city might he endangered, added to•this, some of the Political 111 1 '° ° , had joined theirs to th e c i v il f orce.

It must also he remembered, that the attack on Bride'
