There was next—" unprincipled and wicked design," but that was general still, though approaching to the libel. "As if the conviction may be set aside by any evidence which the prisoner and his coadjutor, the editor, may have the impudence to fabricate." Again, "My opinion is, that the affidavits have been fabricated by the editor of the Durham Chronicle himself." " The depositions originated in a foul conspiracy to rescue this delinquent from the sentence of the law, which, in terms of radical cant, is styled to award to innocence its due, and to crime its right punishment.' " The plaintiff caused a letter to bevritten by his attornies, Messrs.nrkitt and Phillips, of Newcastle, to give the defendant an opportunity of explanation. The answer of the defendant was, "that he had sent the letter to the author, and his reply would determine which of them defend the action ; but I never will condescend (Lord bless us, gentlemen 1) I never will conde scend to make the apology required. Francis Humble.' " For this ,charge of an act of deliberate baseness this action was brought. One circumstance more he had to mention : the cla nriages were laid at 10L purposely, advisedly, and with a strict attention-lo the object of the action. The plaintiff wanted none of the-defendant's money. He Wanted - only to wipe off, by the verdict of a jury, the foul stain falsely, and wickedly attempted to be fixed upon him. George Walker. formerly printer of the Du ill anz ChroOcle, proven that Mr,„Willian4a was editor andproprietor. In his crosg . -eiatnination by Mr. Sergeant Hu tr. oca, he - stated that he lmew of no other person connected with the paper. He was paid by Mr. Williams. The: only guarantee he had, was a verbal assurance by Mr. Kirton; an attorney,, that he should be paid, whatever happened. Mr. Hayes, Clerk of the Crown, produced the indictment and judgment against Spencer. • Mr. - Wolfe stated that Spencer had been under his charge. In cross-examination, he said that the amount of the robbery was 4001. which the prisoner's father returned to witness. David Tindall, clerk and servant to C harles Spierman, Esq., _ the Magistrate who took the affidavits, proved the swearing of the affidavits and the signature of the Magistrate. Cross-examined.:---Mr. Spierman was infirm for many years. There were many other Justices in Durham. Witness knew none of those who made the affidavits before. Mr. Spierman was not in bed. The affidavits came ready prepared. They were all sent up together to his master, who read them for a considerable time. He did not know whose hand-writing they were. Mr. Walker was re-called by Mr. Sergeant Hum.ocic. He should have been inclined to think the writing was Mr. Vetch's, who occasionally was employed by Mr. Williams. Mr. Walters, the Chief Justice's clerk, produced' the affi davits, -which he had from Mr. Broad, Mr. Justice Bayley's clerk. • . _ . , They were read. They consisted of statements to establish an alibi for Spencer. The clerk of the attornies for the plaintiff 'proved the corre spondence with the defendant, which was read.- • He also prov ed that the defendant avowed himself amenable alone for all that appeared in the paper. The plaintiff's letter to Mr. Justice Bayley was then read, and the letter in the 'Advertizer , signed " Veritas," containing the alleged libel.• • Mr. Wolfe was -re-called by Mr. Sergeant HunLocx, and stated, that Spencer was sent to the hulks, and transported for life. Mr. Sergeant Huumcx addressed - the Jury, tor the defend- ant. They would judge how highly the. plaintiff valued his loss of profits and of character, when he estimated the damages at 10/. The plaintiff had not submitted the affidavits privately, but published them in his newspaper. Was . that the way to act in such a case? He did impute blindness and cre dulity on this subject to Mr. Williams. Was there any thing to prove that the affidavits were not a tissue of perjury_? Who was the Magistrate selected ? Who wrote them ? Who con gregated the persons ? One of them swore it was moonlight, when the moon was not five, - days old.• Was there not rash ness, impropriety, indelicacy, 'chargeable upon the plaintiff?— He was the grossest and most Talpable dupe of silly perjured individuals. Was there any printer in England who was not a hireling :?•• • There Was no" printer or speaker but was a hire ling. The affidavits were false—they were a fabrication. The plaintiff lent himself to the fabrication, and that was' all that the defendant had charged. He confidently called upon them, therefore, to give their verdict for the defendant. Mr. Baron Woon said the plaintiff had set himself very officiously to collect affidavits, and wrote a letter to Mr. Justice Bayley. If he had confined himself to writing, there would be no blame attached to his conduct. But what bad he done ?. He went a ()Teat deal farther. He published not only his own let ter, but all the affidavits. This he conceived was very improper conduct, because it could be with no other view than to bring_ into contempt the administration of justice and the verdicts cf juries. This conduct deserved to be reprehended, and he did not blame the defendant for reprehending it. Whether in doing so he had gone too far, was for them to say. It had been said that the verdicts of juries were open to discussion. If that was consistent with the law of the land, it was a most mischievous practice. It certainly deserved in the present case proper animadversion. If they thought that it was fair arid proper animadversion, they would find their verdict , -for the defendant; if otherwise, they would find for the plaintiff; with such damages as they thought proper. • . • The Jury retired for some time, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages Is. HOME CIRCUIT.-LEWES, AuG. 6. CROWN SIDE-MURDER. James Wiggens was indicted for the wilful murder Of Henry Lilliott,: at Brighton, on the 20th of April last. Mr. ANDRWS conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence, that on the day mentioned in the indictrmir, the pri soner and the deceased had set two boys to fight on the beach at Brighton. Some altercation. took place as to the merits of each combatant; mutual reproaches followed, and as soon as the boys had ceased fighting, the pii , ;oner attacked the deceased and offered to fight him. The latter being the lighter man of the twO, after a round, in which the deceased got the worst, declined the combat, but still continued to jeer the prisoner upon the subject of a defeat in which he. was beaten by some other man in three rounds, and sad, that if he, the deceased, had more weight he would be a matc'i for him. After provokin g - him for some time in this manner, the prisoner fell upon the deceased..knocked him down, and whilst he was on the ground kicked him two or three times be tween the hip and the back. The deceased being released, lie walked home, apparently not much hurt. • This was on Satuzday. On the Monday following he complained of a pain in. his back, but continued to work for six or seven days afterwards at his business as bricklayer, when he, was obliged to lie in bed, from which he never rose again, and expired on the 2d of May.._ He was examined after death by two surgeons, who stated, that there appeared to be no marks of violence upon the body, either externally or internally, which could produce death. They attributed mortality to a fever produced by ex citement of the constitution, in consequence of the blows he hal received.. Between the hips and the region of the kidneys there was the mark of a slight contusion, but not such as would have produCed death: The deceased had been previously in good health. The prisoner called two or three witnesses to give an account of the transaction, but their evidence did not differ materially from that of the witnesses for the Croirn. _ _ The LORD CHIEF BARON charged the Jury, that they must acquit the prisoner of wilful Murder, there being no evidence of any malice aforethought to sustain that, part of the charge. If, however, they were of opinion that the prisoner had occa sioned the death of the deceased, they would be justified in finding him guilty of manslaughter. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaucler only, and the Learned Judge, afteranimadverting upon the cowardly brutality of the prisoner in kicking the deceased whilst on the ground, the latter being no match for him in self-defence, sen tenced him to six months imprisonment in the County Gaol. James Tiltey and David Barnett were indicted for burgla riously breaking and entering the dwelling house of Elizabeth "Watson at Petworth, on the night of the 18th of April, and stealing therein three Chichester and two Arundel Bank notes for the payment of 1/. each, two cannisters, containing a quan tity of tea, and a gun her property . ; and Henry Leggatt was indicted for receiving the gun, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. CußwooD conducted the Prosecution, and Mr. NOR TON the Defence. The,Jury found all the prisoners Guinn—Death. On Tuesday week, a true bill was found the LiverPool:Grand Jury against Mr. T. B. Johnson, for a libel on M.S.* M‘Gibbon. The libel charged that lady and several other performers at the Theatre with having e itered into a conspiracy to compel Mr. Vandenhoff to quit the stage ' by unfair and harrassing behaviour towards him.

The advanced period of the Session, and the great pressure of business before Parliament, rendering it impossible that a mea sure of such impOrtance to the Commercial, Manufacturing, and Snipping Interests should receive due 'consideration, the Bill has been withdrawn, under a distinct pledge that it will be again submitted to Parliament early in the next Session. The Bill having been reprinted; it is recommended"to the earnest at. tention of. all Persons interested in the commerce of the country. LOCAL CHARGES UPON SHIPPING. • A Report has been presented to the /i ouse of Commons from the Committee on Foreign'Trade, embracing a variety of sub jects of deep importance. . Amongst other things, it recommends an immediate reduc tionin the dues c4illected by the Trinity Corporation, by which Commerce and Navigation will be relieved to an extent of about 50,000/. per annum. It provides. for rfurther progres sive reduction, and the establishment of a surplus fund w be applied to the F .:chase of the interests in private lights and leased lights, with a view to a similar diminution of rates and general rate of charge. Light Dues on Flambro', Foulness, Needles, Portland, Cas ketts, Eddystone, Lizard, Scilly, Milford, Ltindy,' Bardsey, Southstack, Spurn, Well, llaisbro', Lowestoft; Sunk, Galloper, Goodwin. Owers, and the Nero, on all over-sea traders to be a farthing per ton ; and on all floating lights, on account of the additional expellee of maintenance, one farthing per ton more. Trinity Dues, consisting of buoyage, beaconage, loads manage, and primage, to be consolidated and charged at one penny per ton on all over-sea-qaders. Pilotage Surplus Rates to be discontinued. Ballastage Rates to be equalized. Ramsgate Harbour Dues to be dikcontintied on all ships above 300 tons, unless they shall ente/ the harbour, and the rates to be reduced to three hajf-pence per ton. • , Dover Harbour Dues, three-pence per ton, to be taken on such ships only as may enter the harbour, and one penny per ton on all laden ships under 300 tons that may pass the same. By the repeal of the Tonnage Duty, and the reductions al luded to, shipping will be relieved to the extent of about 240,0001. per annum. N. B. Foreign veesels, belonging to countries in.which.Bri tish ships shall be placed upon the like footing in respect of PRICE SEVENPENCE. charges at the ships of such countries, to be subject to the likki rates as British ships. *.* We flatter ourselves that these inquiries will not be F con s fined to Ramsgate and Dover Harbours, but extended to all the Ports and Harbours throughout the Kingdom where duties and tolls are levied on shipping and goods for local purposes. The result of such an inquiry would shew the amount of the INDIRECT taxation on trade and commerce, and probably lead. to a review of the whole system, and put it on a bettar'footing ; for, in many places, dues and tolls"are continued to be collected, though the original objects for which they NVere imposed have been effected, or cease to exist. MEXICO. OATH OF THE EMPEROIL AUGUSTIN (ITURIIDE)' TIIt FIRST, BEFORE THE SUFHEDIE CONGRESS. " I, Augustin, by Divine Providence, and by nomination of': , the Congress of .the Representatives of the nation, Emperor of :swear by Gor and the Holy Evangelists, that I will defend and preserve the Roman Catholic and Apostolic religion without permitting any other in the Empire that I will main - taro, and cause to be maintained, the Constitution which the said Congress will form, and meanwhile the Spanish constitution., in such matters as may be expedient; and also the laws, orders, and decrees already issued, or which may hereafter proceed from the said Congress, having in view at all times the welfare of the nation : that I will not exact Foduce money, or aught else, without a Decree of the Congress; that I will not take from any one his property ; and especially that I will respect the political liberty of the nation, and personal liberty of each individual ; and if to what I have sworn or any part thereof, I may act con trary, obedience shall not be due to me, and in such case my acts shall be null and void. Thus may tiod be my aid and fr.y defence, and if not, may he demand of me. (Signed) " JOSE IGNACIA GUTIERREZ, Dep. Sec. Mexico, May 21,, 1822." (Copy.) PIRACIES. [Extract of a Letter front llavannah, dated June 24.] " Never were British vessels of war more needed than at the present moment. Commerce is completely exposed to the attacks of the-Pirates, who increase daily both in numbers and audacity. The only check upon theth is the force of the United States, which is, however, totally inadequate to the protection of trade, equipt ligfit schooners, and even boats, who cruise just out of sight. The Authorities here are entirely unable to check the depredations almost hourly committed in the very sight of land. The practice of vessels waiting •in this port for convoy, prevents at*/ chance of those bound to Europe or elsewhere being captured. But this has only changed the evil instead of removing iF, for the Pirates, in the place of having spies here to watch the, departure of the different ships, as was formerly their practice, for the purpose of plundering out ward-bound vessels, have altered their plan, and know of this port, and the moment any ship 'is discerned, notice is given to those on sliore, when a force sufficient is dispatched, and it is a great chance if their intended prey escapes. Under these cir cumstances all vessels from Europe, or any other part of 'the• world, must unavoidably fall into their hands, mit having the advantages possessed by those which are 'bound from the - part, and which now never depart without protection.. The Spanish corvettes Isabel arid:4l;les, whicksailed on the2sth ult. had no fewer than 30 sail of spanish vessels, besides a large number of British, French, and Dutch vessels under their prOtectton. Some of these had been waiting here for convoy for *sortie weeks, which alone is a great drawback to commerce. The cargo of one of these (the Sybele ) will net, it is imagined, 20 per cent. by this delay. The American schooner Grampus arrived here a few day& back, from an unsuccessful cruize against the pirates. The American Captain (Perry) has, however, captured two piratical schooners; one of them had on board the cargo of an English brig she had captured on the preceding day. Our letters froth Jamaica, Providence, and other parts' of the West Indies, are also mere repetitions of the piratical enormities ; and from the former place the complaints are particularly numerous. ' Many individuals here are suspected of having acquired immense sums by these nefarious proceedings." CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The English Funds are uncommonly heavy this day. Consols • for the settlement at the end of this month opened at 808, but they could not maintain this value, falling to bohl, and closing at ' 80,1 i. The late disgraceful scenes in the Parisian Anglo•Theatrd are rather calculated to strengthen the doubts of Fundholders in the permdnency of the present EurOpean syStem and however trivial this affair may seem at first sight, it is very importimt as' an indication of the national feeling. ' The French have not for . - gotten their recent humiliation, however much we may• be d 6. serous they should.. Under these circumstances, the British Government, as the head of the civilized world, ought to assist rather than oppose the nations who endeavour to render them. selves free. Spain, South America, and Greece, are natura' Allies of the British Empire, and so also is Italy. In place of gratitude for mighty services performed -by England, the , breasts of the Members of the Holy Alliance are filled with envy at her greatness, and hatred at her prosperity and power. , To maintain the present elevation of the British Empire amongst the nations of • the earth, the mercantile interest can conceive no means so proper and likely to 6e availing, as by fostering the liberties of mankind in whatever quarter they may arise, and by leading them to believe that England is their guardian and friend. In Europe, ' there is.. at present a conspiracy against the expansion of the human mind, and against the liberties of the hunian - Aace.. —By opposing this spirit, England will render her-own free dom more secure, and her character illustrious.' The Foreign Funds still continue in demand, and generally maintain the prices paid for them yesterday. The French Rentes continue at 92. 50. Prussian Fives are a shade lower, having. been done'di 88k; and Mr. ROTH s new Prussian Loan is 881. Spanish old Bonds are 638, and the new 62 -4 ; Danish, 871; eapo litan, 738; Russian Metallic Fives are 79k; and Mr. Ito Tits- CHILD'S new Russian Loan, 83i; Austrian Metallic_ Fives are 79; American Bank shares, 22; Sevens, 94; Sixes, 1815, , 98; Threes, 688; Fives, 1820, 95; and Fives of 1821, 98. The Chili Loan has advanced to . 82 1 S and Colombian Sixes are noted' at 86i. The arrivals of gram are uncommonly large fo! , thk season of the year. Since last Monday there have appearid for the sale in Mark-lane, 4,800 sacks of flour, 10,800 quarters of wheat, 300 quarters of barley, and 5,800 quarters of oats:— The weather continues very favourable for gathering the abun dant gifts of the fields, and another over production of nature is likely once more to curse the British people.—(Mording Chronicle.) • • POOR EMERY.
