FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1822 A Meeting of the 'County, convened by the Sheriffs, in pursuance of a Requisition, was as sembled at the Mermaid Tavern, Hackney, yes terday, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, Excessive Taxation, and the distressed:itate of the Country. MeSsrs. GARRATT and VENABI.Es, as Sheriffs for the County, presided. After the Senior She lia- had opened the immediate business of the day, and the Under Sheriff had read the requisition for calling the Meeting, he trusted that every Gentleman who addressed the Company would be heard with impartiality. The Rev. Mr. DRAPER then addressed the Meeting at considerable length, and concluded by moving two Resolutions, on which the Peti tion was founded, in favour of Parliamentary Reform, as the only means of effecting a reduc tion of the present -excessive taxation, which were seconded by Major CARTWRIGHT. Sir Jolts GIBBONS opposed the Resolutions, and maintained that Ministers were exerting every 'nerve to retrench as much as possible, without compromising the honour of the Country or the true dignity of the Crown ; but the inter ruptions he experienced were so frequent, that, notwithstanding the repeated interference of the Sheriffs, he was obliged to desist. Alderman WArrnmaisr then addressed the Meeting, and was followed by Mr. Shaw Lefevre. Mr. Bvng, Mr. S. Whitbread, Sir Francis Bur dett, Mr. Hobhouse, and Mr. Peter Moore, se verally addressed the Meeting; after which the Petition was agreed to. Thanks were then voted to the Sheriffs for their impartiality, and the Meeting dispersed.—A gentleman had his pocket . picked of his watch in the room. MINORITY AND MAJORITY.

Mr. SHADWF.I.I. moved for an injunction to restrain the Defendant from publishing the above song in a monthly pub lication called the " Gazette of Pas Mon," with the music as arranged and composed by the Plaintiff, and as it is sung by Miss Stephens at Covent-Garden Theatre-, from whose adini rable singing of it, it had become a great favourite of the public, which caused a demmand for the song as published by the Plaintiff,—the music in the song of the Defendant was precisely the same as that of the Plaintiff's. The Loon CHANceu.ott—" Have you satisfied yourself. of that fact ?" Mr. SUADWELL said he bad not, but be had an affidavit Of its being so : and it was also sworn, that the copyright of the Plaintiff was likely to be greatly injured. by the publication of the Defendant. He (lid not ask for an injunction to re strain the Dei,ndant from publishing his work without the sing ; he had no doubt hot his Lordship would be of opi nion that it was a case which called for the interference of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR—" I have got the Gentleman's Magazine front its commencement up to the present time, and there is not a number of mt that does not contain a song. I do not like to eta rip time boo', because there is the song of We're a' noildin' in it; besides it may be involved in that case which is gone to the Court of King's Bench, that of Mr. Elliston's, where a person went from the Coburg Theatre to Drury lane Theatre, and tools short-hand notes of a piece called Therese, and it wasafterwards performed at the former theatre. Any person singing as well as MisS Stephens, hear ing her sing it, might catch the air and afterwards sing it, and I might be called on for an injunction to restrain them from singing it on the same principle that this injunction is asked for. I cannot grant the motion on an ex-parte appli cation. You must give notice to the defendant."—Motion refused. --------- - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MURDER OF MRS: DONAVTY. ITArrox-GARDEN.—Yesterday morning, at I t o'clock, Mr. Laing, the Magistrate, who has greatly exerted himself in the inquiry, resumed the investigation with as much privacy as was before observed• The whole of the witnesses summoned for this day were in attendance; also the girl, Mary Ann Young, and her father in-law, James Harrison. A man, named James Edwards, about 24 years of age, was brought up from Giltspur-street ; be bad been apprehended at the Coach and Horses public-house, on Holborn-hill, on a charge of felony. He was called on to prove where be was at the time the murder was perpetrated. This be did to the sa tisfaction of the Magistrate, and was sent back to the Comp ter. A man, named Davis, a reputed horse-dealer, wln- fre quented a public-house in Brook's-market, was searched for ; but it was ascertained that he had left London on Sunday morning. Mrs. French, residing in Doughty-mews, near Robert street, was called in and examined.—She stated, that a little before nine o'clock she was passing Robert-street, when she observed a short stout man, dres.ed in a dark surtout coat and gaiters, standing on the step of the door of the deceased's house with a book in his hand, as if taking a sketch of the premises. On her coming up to him he walked up the street; she passed him, and he turned back and took his former si tuation at the door of the deceased. She at this time had not the least idea of any thing that was going on, and therefore took no not ice of the man. In a few moments afterwards she heard or the murder. fienry Brooks was not examined yesterday, the Magistrates being satisfied that he had cleared himself from all suspicion respecting the murder. Summonses were granted for several witnesses to attend the investigation this day. CONFFASION OF MURDER. Bow-STuErr.--Wednesday moaning John Gale underwent a second examination before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, charged on suspicion of having murdered Mary Beagle, in the month of May, 1815; by violently assaulting her, and forcing her into the basin of the Regent's Canal, which horrid crime he voluntarily confessed himself guilty of before a Magistrate of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. After his confession had been read over by the clerk, he was asked by Sir Richard Birnie, whether it was a true state ment, and correctly given ? The prisoner replied, " No, cer tainlynote' that he bad been driven about from pillar to post to various prisons on charges of desertion ; and that he trumped up this tale of a.confession to enable him to get away from the Isle of Wight to London. Sir RICIIARD 1311iNIE said he should sause the most strict and particular inquiries to be made respecting the death of Mary Beagle, and ordered the Prisoner to be committed fur further examination. Smith, the officer, recognised the Prisoner to have acted in a similar way some time since in the town of Dorchester, for which he received a severe flogging. Last week, a man of the name of Nairne, re siding in a remote and wild part of the parish of Edinkillie, nearly equidistant from Grantown and Dulcie, after violently beating and bruising his wife, stabbed her in six different places with a large knife.—A surgeon is attending the wretched woman, but her life is despaired of.— He is now lodged in Elgin gaol.—(lnverness Paper.) SUN. THE LONDON JOURNALS. EXTRACTS FROM THE Dll LY MORNING PAPERS March 15, 189-2. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] It was gratifying to hear Mr. Frederick Ro binson, hi the ever to be remembered Debate on the motion for reducing a useless Postmaster- General, bearing testimony" to the extent of in formation which prevailed amongst all ranks of the people," as it was .to hear Mr. Huskisson a week or two ago bearing testimony to the im proved moral habits of the lower orders. While the zealots of Bridge-street, aided by the sub scriptions of empty-headed Nobles, and proh pudor ! by nearly the whole of the Bench of Bishops, employ Catos and similar writers, to prove that the mass of the people labour under a constant incapacity of distinguishing good from evil, and truth from falsehood ; that they will always prefer foolish to sensible writings, as they prefer vicious indulgences to virtue ; that the communication of knowledge to them has only called forth their evil propensities, and produced an almost universal demoralization ; it is consolatory, we say, to hear one Minister not merely admitting the increase of knowledge amongst all ranks, but that it tended " to im prove the conduct of public men," mid another Minister acknowledging, that the increase of knowledge had not merely improved the [ponds of public men, but the morals of all. Emtrusti rntss.] The stealing of cattle is now become the fa vourite pursuit of th e Whiteboys in the south of Ireland. In the space of three nights more than 100 head of cattle were taken last week from different persons residing within three or four miles of Newmarket. The cattle were carried off to the neighbourhood of Abbeyfay le and New castle. The number of houses in the vicinity of Kanturk attacked on Friday night amounted to seventy, the inmates of which were severely abused. In the mean time the Special Sessions in the Counties of Limerick and Cork proceed with promptness and decision. The persons convicted a-re immediately sent off under a military escort for transportation ; but the spirit of outrage has not yet began to yield to the force of the law. [NEW TIMES.] The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations, it is said., have, for some time past, had under consideration the ex pediency of relaxing the system by which the in tercourse with the British Colonies is governed, not only with a view to the relief of- the planter from the existing pressure by which he is borne down, but also with reference to the change of circumstances produced by the continuance of the Foreign Slave Trade, and the present freedom of intercourse with the Spanish and Portuguese Settlements in south America, which has effected an important change in the situation of our own Colonies. The 'West India interest strongly urge the necessity of opening the ports to American shipping ; whilst the Ship-Owners as strongly object, on the ground of the injury to• British shipping which will be occasioned thereby ; and are joined by the North American Colonists.— Many persons incline to think that the best course to be pursued would be to allow the British planters to send their surplus produce, in British shipping, to any market in Europe, or elsewhere, in which they may find a sale; and to allow them to re ceive in return any articles necessary for their plantations, the importation of which from foreign countries would not injure the produce or manu factures of the mother country. It is also argued, that there cannot be a more effectual way to check the Slave Trade, than the allowing our Planters to pour their surplus into those markets on the Continent of Europe which are now sup plied by the Powers who continue that nefarious traffic. For our own part, we do not presume to offer a decisive opinion on a question demanding such extensive investigation, and involving such important interests. We shall, however, keep our columns impartially open to the statements of all parties in this discussion, if made with due moderation and candour. Our only wish is that the public good, and the interests of humanity and justice may be promoted by the regulations which may be ultimately adopted ; but whether this is best to be done on either of the principles above mentioned, we at present think it prema ture to determine. [THE TIMES.] The businesg of the two Postmasters-General, we are happy to see, is not terminated. The affair, indeed, assumes a serious aspect, when useless offices are justified on the score that they give the Crown influence in Parliament. It is a new era in our history when such things are avowed. From the notice of a motion given last night by Mr. Calcraft in the, House of Commons, it was learned that Lord Clanoarty was absent for two years out of the Kingdom, and engaged in totally different business, whilst he was re ceiving pay as one of the Joint Postmasters-Ge neral ; and if he had been absent two hundred years, his services at the office would never have been wanted. Lord Londonderry attempted to compare this absence of the noble Postmaster on other business to his own absence at Vienna and Paris on the business of his own office. This si militude, of course, could not stand long. But it is lamentable to see men in eminent station's driven to such shifts. One of the Postmasters, we have no doubt, will go at last. How foolish,, then, in Ministers, to subject their obsequious ad herents (that interest which it is said the Go- PRICE SEVENPENCE vernment must have in the House) to the after reproach of having defended places of which the abolition will have proved the inutility. [MORNING HERALD.' The continental mails arrived in the course of yesterday contain scarcely any thing novel orim portant. From the Paris Papers it would appear that though the publicmind was not . quite tranquil, no disturbances -had taken place. The number of persons arrested on the day of the tumult in the Garden of Plants, is stated to be 230. One of the Journals mentions a curious fact relative to the arrest of some of the rioters. During the tumult, and whilst the gees (Parmes were charging the students, a small body of the latter retreated into the anatomy-room, and seized, for their de fence, some long pikes, which they found sus pended upon the walls. , They were in the act of using these pikes against their pursuers, when the • keepers told them that they were envenomed, having been arms used by savages— upon which they were instantly thrown away by these young men, who surrendered themselves. The Missionaries continue their labours with perfect security, under the protection of a mili tary force. We perceive by one of the papers that they practise not only upon heathens and heretics, but. upon Jews also. There is rather a characteristic statement in one of the Journals, by a Jew father, who complains that one of these zealous Propagandists had touched him nearly both in his worldly and spiritual interesis— having declined to refund a loan of eight thou sand francs, and induced the son of thesom plainant to abjure the Mosaic faith, at the ten der age of thirteen, without letting the father know for several months after the event. It ap pears, however, that his morals had not equally improved with his religious tenets. The father declares that he found the young catechumen such a reprobate, that he found it necessary to turn him out of doors. The only article from the Departments is an extract of a private letter from Angers, dated the 7th, which states that tranquillity was undisturbed—that the public authorities redoubled their precautions—that the drawbridge of the castle was up every night— that ball cartridges were distributed to the Na tional Guard, and that military duty was per formed' as in time of war. There was a conti- - nual passing and re-passing of local couriers. [M 0 lINING POST. Let Mr. Hume beware—A rival has started up, who contends with him for the palm of wit, activity, and patriotism. This is no less an indi vidual than Mr. Creevey, Ex-Secretary to the Board of Controul. This Gentleman having, by his own account, been useless to that Board when in office, now wisely turns round and maintains that the Board itself is useless to the country. The argument is indeed unanswerable, or at least requires no answer. It is a fair and hopeful way of reasoning, and one well calculated to produce conviction in those who are acquainted with the talents and ingenuousness of the Hon. Member. The motion appended to this declaration, was for a Select Committee to inquire into the duties annexed to the office of Commissioners of the Board of Controul, and by whom they were per formed ; but the real object was to endeavottr to prove the inutility of that Board, in its present state. In this, however, Mr. Creevey completely failed. Both the Ministerial and Opposition sides stood up against him. Mr. Courtenay shewed that the duties gone through in that de partment were most abstruse and laborious; and •Mr. Tierney had the candour to declare, that be found, when he was President of the Board of Controul, that there was no office within the range of Government, " for which more la` boar, more application, and more study were required." This would- have satisfied the House, even without the solid arguments and brilliant eloquence of Mr. Canning, that the mo tion rested on no solid grounds; but, after hear ing the splendid flow of oratory, and the sportive wit which alternately overwhelmed the unfortu nate Mover, or made him writhe beneath the' lash, it was impossible for the House not to come to a vote which would express its real sense on the subject. Hence when a division took place, the motion was rejected by an immense majority of 273 to 88. (From the Ennis Chronicle.)—On Wednesday night, an armed party of ruffians attacked the house of James Sheehan, of Oatfiold, within three miles of Tulla, where, having forced their way into the house, they beat him so inhumanly that his arm has been broken in two places, his nose and cheek cut off with a sword, and his body dreadfully bruised in several places. They then robbed him of 71. in notes, 1/. in silver, and a promissory note. Only three of the villains entered the house; the number-outside has not been ascertained. We understand Sheehan has been removed to the Limerick Infirmary. CARLTTO, an Italian, and an able engineer, who has been a considerable time in the service of Au PACHA, (and on whom depended the de fence of the fortress of Janina), has succeeded in making his escape. He had been long watch ing for an opportunity to effect it, and always carried a rope concealed about him, which he took an opportunity of swinging round a cannon, and lowering himself down. The rope being too short, he was much hurt by his fall ; but, how ever, by swimming the river in the midst of mus ketry, he escaped to the Turkish camp. He has offered to point out the vulnerable part of the walls to the besiegers. F. S. I an, TOUS- [s 9d' 3s Od wady ,on. arah !ole- I. D. ring r the gory the rend )een en t,
