JD A I Y 'fli E 1,0 N 1)0N J OULLN ALS. EXTRACTS FROM TILE MORNING PAPEES, January 15, 18'2'2. [MORNING POST.] At a late hour last night we received French Papers to the 12th instant. They inform us of the sudden death of the Duchess of Bourbon, Princess of Conde, and mother to the unfortu 'pate Duke d'Enghien. She had gone last Thurs day to the newly consecrated church of St. Ge kievieve to attend divine service, and was follow i.ng a procession, when she suddenly tottered, And after vain efforts to recover herself, sunk - 16-.vn in a swoon. She was immediately carried to an apartment in the Ecole (le Droit, almost Opposite the church, and Mr. Pelletun and several ZTher distinguished physicians attended ; but death had anticipated their arrival, and the Prin tess was no more. Another account adds, that the affection which terminated so fatally, and in so short a time, was the effect of sudden cold in an immense church paved with marble, and like all other Roman Catholic temples unprovided with pews. The Duchess de Bourbon was in her 72d year, having been born on the 9th of July, 1750. These Papers contain but little intelligence of a political nature. Au article of the 11th ult. from :Constantinople states that tranquillity was " a little restored" in that capital, though its streets were still encumbered with armed Mussulmen. The Porte had caused it to be published that the Schah of Persia had disavowed the declaration of war issued by his son, and the invasion of Kurdistan, but this intelligence was not believed, as it was known that the Persians were still en camped in the environs of Kast and Erzerurn on the 26th Not. According to advices of the 22d ult. from llermanstadt, the number of Ottoman troops continued rapidly to increase in Wallachia and Moldavia. The Asiatic soldiers committed the greatest excesses; robbed the peasantry of their Clothes, and forced them to take refuge nak ed, with their families, in the forests, where most of them died of cold and hunger. A troop - which lately arrived at Bucharest, set fire to a convent, when several of the pious Fathers perished in the flames. An article of the 31st ult. from Madrid asserts that a numerous and powerful party had formed itself in the bosom of the Cortes ; the object of which was to amend the present Constitution, to obtain the establishment of two Chambers, an absolute Veto for the King, with the initiative of all laws, and the suppres on of the permanent Deputation of the Cortes. if these objects could he attained, says the writer of the article in question, civil war would be prevented. [MORNING lIERALD.I Friday's Paris Papers arrived late last night. The Duchess of Bourbon died on the preceding day. She was seized with a fit from the ex treme cold of the new Church of St. Genevieve, - - where she had been to prayers. The Illoniteur contains an article of the 30th ult. from Vienna, which states, in substance, that the Austrian circulation was improving—that the negociations between the Porte andFLUssia were resumed, with some prospect of success, but that the ru moured acceptance of the Ultimatum was " an illusion sent abroad by English merchants— and Jews. The Journal des Debats, quoting an article' of the 11th ultimo, from Constan tinople, in the Gazette of Augsburgh, states that the Porte had issued a Proclamation, stating the fact that the Schah of Persia had disavowed the declaration of war and invasion of his son ; but that the Proclamation was not believed, be cause the Persians were still at Erzerum on the }6th of November. The accounts from Spain are of the 3d inst. The state of the provinces appears unchanged since the last accounts. But in Madrid there has been an important sitting of the Council of State, presided by the King, to conslder the Message of the Cortes. There are several versions: the most specific is that of the Journal des Debuts, which states that the ma jority of the Council headed by Castanos was for supporting the Ministry, and treating the Message of the Cortes as an invasion of the prerogative. Nothing, however, was done in chnsequence. It is mentioned as a singular fact, that the King of Spain is appointing to places of honour and profit some of the partisans of the Ex-King Buonaparte. His conduct altogether seems unaccountable. The Quotidienne states, that the Greeks have suffered a severe defeat from the Turks at Cassandra, but its authority is the worst on any subject. Mr. Loveday has efritered into an idle controversy with this Journal respecting the proselytism of his daughters. [THE TIMES.] Letters dated the 6th of November were re ceived yesterday from Bahia. There occurred on the 3d an insurrection among the native Bra tiran troops, with the design of removing from power three members of the Provisional Junta, who were suspected of selling commissions in the Militia. The Portuguese soldiery, however, among whom were the Lusitanian Legion, took tart with the Government, which so overawed the malcontents, that without any resistance they suffered three or four of their leaders to be ap prAended and sent on board the Don Pedro POrtuguese frigate, then in the harbour, in order to be conveyed to Lisbon, to be placed at the aiVosal of the Cortes. '1 he insurgent troops afterwards succeeded, by stratagem, in gaining passession of two of the fortresses at Bahia, Which they occupied, and again held out de 'fiance to the Junta. Their position was a strong iJne, but as they were only provisioned for a few days, and had no supply of ammunition, they were expected in a very short time to sur render at discretion. This state of things, Though no consequences immediately disas trous were apprehended, had spread very general alarm among the inhabitants of Bahia, and much impeded commercial operations. Instructions were daily expected from Portugal, to proceed to the CleCtion of members for the new Junta, agreeably CO the decree 'of the Cortes—a proceeding on Which much reliance was placed for tranquilliz ing the - public mind, as some of the members of the existing - Junta were very unpopular. It was noticed, however, during the commotion of the 3d of November, that the inhabitants of Bahia in general took so little interest in the transaction that after the ringleaders ►►ere arrested, and about to be conveyed on board the frigate, they applied to the Commanding Officer for a guard to pro tect them against the fury of that populace whose rights they professed to advocate, but who, so far from supporting them, tumultuously demanded that they should be put to death. His Majesty's ships Doris and Morgiana had arrived at Bahia. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] There seems to be but one opinion among all but the veriest Ministerial Hacks, and the most incurable Webb-llallites, on the subject Of the Norfolk Meeting. It is a truly gratifying spec tacle to see the Yeomanry and Landholders of a County, in which the agricultural distress has been greater, perhaps, than in any other, dis playing such coolness and serenity of intellect, such manly- self-command, amidst all their trials and difficulties. This enlightened body have re pelled with contempt the delusive remedies of quack projectors, and embraced the only course which will not in the end involve them in greater distress than that under which they are now suffer ing. The speeches of Gentlemen who used to be among the most zealous of the supporters of Minis ters sufficiently prove the change which has taken place lately in the sentiments of the people of Eng land. Mr. Ald.Thurtell, who opened the business of the Meeting, honestly owned that he had changed his opinions, as far as regarded the conduct of the Administration in the expenditure of the. country ; and charged Ministers with having failed to act upon theirpromises. No one volun teered one word in their defence. Even Mr. Wodehouse abandoned them to their fate.—Now that distress has taught all ranks and conditions to appreciate the system of the Heaven-born Mi nister, the force of the admirable lines of Mr. Coleridge, in his ' Fire, Famine, and . Slaughter,' must be pretty generally felt Letiersfour do form his name, He let me loose. and cried halloo ! To him alone the praise is due. Wisdom comes with lack of food, I'll gnaw, I'll gnaw the multitude, Till the cup of rage o'erbrim : They shall seize lum and his brood, &c. It does not require the spirit of prophecy to foretell that no man of any respectability will hereafter attend a Pitt Club,—that Pitt birth days, if they be celebrated at all, will only be so by that remnant of his followers who compose the Bridge-street and Beacon Gangs, and the contributors to such productions as John Bull.— Now that the Pitt System is spoken of with uni versal reprobation, the public will soon cease to be insulted with disgusting incense to his me mory, and the having enjoyed his friendship will no longer be a subject of boast. [BRITISH PRESS.] We are not a little surprised to find it seriously proposed by a gentleman of liberal education to repeal the law which has so happily achieved the restoration of the old metallic currency of the country. Mr. Thurtell would throw us back again to a variable paper currency, and subject the property of the kingdom to the changes and chances which may arise from eternal fluctuations in the amount of the circulating medium. We trust that there are very few gentlemen in the empire who would desire to see a renewal of the Bauk Restriction Act; for although it cannot be doubted that much of the sufferings which have oppressed the industry of the country in all its branches have flowed from the operation of reduc ing the currency to its ancient standard, yet as the country has now laboured through the difficulty, who would desire that all this labour should have been endured in vain, and compel the country at some future day to work again through the same sea of distress and peril? The ominous presence of so wild a scheme in Mr. Thurtell's series of Resolutions induced Lord Albermarle to substitute another series, complaining of the grievous burden of taxation, and proposing a Pe tition to Parliament for the repeal or reduction of certain taxes therein specified. This series of Resolutions was finally adopted, and a Pe tition to Parliament founded upon them was submitted to the meeting, and ordered to be presented. We hope that the example of the county of Norfolk will be very generally followed .throughout the country. The notion that Parliament has the power of granting any relief to the farmers but by the reduction of taxes is dangerously fallacious. Much more has been done under the pretence of protecting the pro duce of our own soil than ought to have been done, but it has shewn that the utmost power of Parliament is unequal to the task of adding one shilling to the present prices. Parliament, how ever, can effect a great deal for the general wel fare, by compelling the Ministers to reduce their present enormous establishment, by simplify ing the general system of our finances, and by repealing taxes to a considerable amount. No expenditure ought to be endured by Parliament that exceeded 12,000,q00/. beyond the charges upon the Consolidated Fund. We .night then have an operative Sinking Fund of about eight millions annually, and an immediate , relief might be extended to the country by a remission of the taxes upon ailicles of primary necessity. [NEW TIMES. The Paris Papers contain no more details of the conspiracies of Saumur and Belfort ; and indeed they appear in themselves to have been of very trivial import. They may, however, be taken as an evidence of the existence of a cen tral point of unio❑ connecting the movements of the disaffected in the various parts of France. The people of France are weary of Revolu tions; but there are a few evil-disposed indi viduals who are never weary of ill-doing, and whose rage must be particularly excited by see ing the Throne at length surrounded with Royalists. The correct remark of M. Fievee, in January 1815, should never be forgotten—" In whatever way the Revolution may have been modified, there has been for the last six and twenty years, only one conspiracy, going always to the same mark, with a perseverance that no thing can fatigue, and an address that nothing can disconcert. " It is more skilful and stronger now than it was in 1789—more skil ful, because it has had more experience—and stronger on account of the extreme weakness of those who should destroy it, but who do not even know what destroying it means." The 20th of March soon came to confirm this remark in 1815, and no one could doubt the weakness of so disunited a Ministry as that which thew existed ; but the case is widely different now. At least, we trust, that if a new 20th of March should be attempted, the Royalist Ministry would be found as vigilant as they are firm and united. They have abundant force at their disposal; for in addition to a fine, and, we believe, with few exceptions, a loyal army, Vendee alone would, at a stamp of the foot, send forth 80,000 melt in arms. Those brave men most wisely resisted the treacherous pro posal for disarming them, which was made two or three years ago, although those who laid the scheme had the further art to persuade a Bour bon Prince to make the demand—" No, my Prince," was in substance the answer ; " we took up our arms for you, and we will retain them for ourselves." LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, J. 14. This was the first seal before term, and the Court a-at oc cupied in hening motions. DAVIS AND OTHERS V. FISH AND OTHERS. Mr. Slut - I - mm.l. moved for an injunction to restrain the de fendants, members of the society called the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Company, from continuing to carry on the bu siness of that society. The motion was made under the follow ing circumstances :—A society called the Norwich Union So ciety had been established for a considerable time, upon prin ciples specified in certain articles agreed to by the founders of the society, by one of which the parties bound themselves not to enter into connexion with any society which might have the ef fect of injuring or prejudicing the 'Norwich Union Society. Some time ago, a large number of the members of the Nor wich Union formed themselves into a society, called the Nor wich Union Fire Insurance Society, which differed in many re spects from the original society. The persons on whose behalf the present motion was made were members of the old society, and they complained that the new society was fraudulently - to be imposed upon the public as a continuation of the old society. Mr. HART and Mr. WETHERELL, on behalf of the de fendants, contended that the new was merely a modification of the old society, and that the power to remodel the society was vested in the majority of the proprietors. The LORD CHANCELLOR. said, there was a difficulty which had always pressed upon his mind with respect to societies not possessing a corporate ct.aracter—namely, how the members could sue one another. In the case before the Court, four per sons sued in behalf of themselves and all the other members of the old society : hut that declaration was evidently false, because among the « others" the defendants themselves were includ ed. There were many other difficulties connected with the case of too important a nature to be determined upon an in terlocutory motion, and he therefore thought it most advisable to refuse it. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J. 14. HANSON AND ANOTHER V. ARMITAGE, This was an action for goods sold and delivered, tried at London at the Sittings after last Trinity Term, before the Lord Chief Justice, when a verdict was found for the plaintifF. The plaintiffs were wholesale dealers in tea, and the defend ant was a retail dealer in the country. They had received through their traveller an order on the defendant's account, for two chests of tea, on the 3d of Jtine, which were sent to Staun ton's Wharf, and were put on board a vessePfor their destina tion on the 10th of Jime. The vessel was lost, and the ques tion on motion for a new trial was, whether the defendant was liable, he not having received any invoice, although he had re ceived notice of the loss. The case was argued by Mr. SCARLETT for the plaintiff, and Mr. GURNEY for the defendant. The Co CRT took time to consider of its judgment. SELF AND OTHERS V. FAGG AND OTHERS. This was an action against the defendants as common car riers, to recover the amount of a parcel of bank notes, valued at 10,501. At the trial before the Lord Chief Justice at the Sittings in London, after last Trinity Term, the plaintiffs had a verdict. The plaintiffs are bankers, at Christchurch, in Hampshire, and the defendants are owners of several stage-coaches. The plaintiffs banked with Messrs. Rogers and Co. London, and the latter being in the habit of monthly remitting to the plaintiff the notes paid for the plaintiff at their house, sent them a parcel of their paid notes, to the amount of 13051., on the Ist December, 1819, which parcel was booked at the de fendant's office, to be sent by the Poole Mail. The parcel was, in fact, sent by the Southampton light coach, addressed "R. Anger, Esq., Christchurch, Hants.' Before it had gone many miles out of town, it was stolen out of the seat of the coach, and the next day its contents, to the amount of 10501. were presented for payment at ,Messrs. Rogers and Co., and paid. On motion for a new trial, the question was, whether the defendants were liable for the loss ? Mr. SCARLETT was heard for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pam: for the defendants. _ The COURT were clearly of opinion that there was no ground for disturbing the verdict, and therefore the rule for a new trial was discharged. OLD BAELEY. THE CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. Yesterday, at 28 minutes past five the London Jury entered their box. The two shopmen of Carlile who pleaded not Guilty on Sa turday night, were then placed at the bar, and said they wished to retract their " traverse" made on Saturday night, and t 3 take their trials that evening. C031310N SERGEANT—YOU have traversed already ; the Court will not be played with, you must be taken to jail.— What is the case ? _ _ _ Mr. AD OLP HU S—lt is for selling a blasphemous and sedi tious libel. Defendants—May we be permitted to bail. The COMMON SERGEAxT —Yes; yourselves in 1001. and two sureties of 501. each ; and it will be requisite for you to give forty-eight hours' notice of bail to M r . M urray , o f S o h n -street, Bedford-row. The two persons were then removed from the bar. 'William Holmes and the unknown Man were then put to tl7e bar to plead ; when the unknown Man said, he wished to have the indictment read. Mr. Clark, the Deputy Officer of Arraigns, then prckeeded to read the indictment, which was of great length, and contain ed a number of parts extracted from the libelous work.—Upon the reading being concluded, The Clerk of Arraigns said, Are you Guilty or Not Guilty ? Man unknown —ll ow does it apply to m• , • there is no name ? COMMON SERGEANT—Are yOtiGuiltior Not Guilty? If you think the concealing your name will be of service to you, you are much deceived. The charge applies to you. Are you Guilty or Not Guilty ? The man made no reply. The COMMON SERGEANT then consulted with Mr. Shelton for a few minutes; and addressing the prisoner said, the Court will give you till after the next trial to consider your plea.—lf you do not then, you must take the consequences, of which I shall not tell you now. COMMON SERJEANT—Hohnes, have you chosen to take your trial now, or traverse it till next Session, which you have a right to do ? The prisoner wished to sec Mr. Harmer ; when that geritle. man's clerk consulted with the prisoner some minutes, and Holmes, addressing the Court, said, I wish to traverse till next Session. Both the prisoners were then removed from the bar. The unknown not having pleaded wlien called upon to do so at a later period, was remanded till t:ie next Secsion. Elizabeth Clements was convicted un an indictment charging her with feloniously intermarrying with James Townsend, her former husband being then alive. Sentenced to six months imprisonment in the House of Correction. Good oysters were last week hawked about Reading in considerable quantity, at eightpence per gallon : they come from the Sussex coast. Shoals of herrings still continue on tl►e coast ; and 13illings!:, , ate market is so amply stocked with those fish, that they are retailed in the streets at twenty-four for a shilling. :MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. SALE OF PLACES. This Court was crowded at an early hour this day, in cOnse• quence of the expected trial of MTS. BALDWIN, which was put off from Saturday, to enable the Duke of WELLINGTo:z and the Marquis of LONDO.NDEIIRY to attend on the part of the prosecution. The Court did not sit until past eleven o'clock. Mr. CON ST (the Chairman) took his seat at that time, aecompani,:d by two or three other Magistrates ; his Grace the Duke of ‘') , :t.T.ING- ToN sat on his right. Before the trial was called on, Thomas Barrett and Mary Eaton were arraigned for an assault upon Thomas Thayer; but on the part of the prosecution, there being some fears still en!.ertained for Thayer's life, and as the case might become one of murder, the trial was put off until next Sessions. Christian ' the wife of John Charles Baldwin, v:as then put to the bar, and indicted for unlawfully and wilfully bargaining with one John Campion, to sell the office of store-keeper in the island of Guernsey, and taking from the said Campion, 501. upon the said bargain, as part payment of 12001. for which she agreed to sell him the said office, contrary to the statute made and pro vided, &c. The prisoner, who was elegantly dressed, pleaded Not Guilty. Nir. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution. He said, that it was one of greater importance than any to which the tendon of the Jury had hitherto been called, for to-day they had to decide whether such practices, as were set forth in the indict ment, should or should not be carried on, with impunity in open defiance of the law.—After a long argument, the Learned Gen tleman proceeded to call his witnesses in support of the charge. Nlr. John Campion, the prosecutor, stated, that he was formerly in business as a leather seller in Bridgewater-square, Barbican.—ln June, 1820, he put an advertisement in THE TIMES newspaper, offering one thousand pounds for a perma nent mercantile situation. In answer to that advertisement he received the letter produced. - The letter alluded to was then proved to be the hand-writing of the defendant by her attorney, Mr. Curzon, and was put in as evidence ; it was as follows :—" If A. B. will,call upon C. B. at No. 9, .illaicohn.place, King's road, Chelsea, on Sunday next, at three o'clock, she will talk to him on the subject of his advertisement." The witness then proceeded to state, that in consequence of this letter he went to the place described, and at the hour ap pointed.—The door was opened by a boy, and he was shewn into a room on the ground floor, where he saw the defendant.— She asked him the nature of the situation which he desired, and he said he could not exactly define the precise description of place that he wished, but was only anxious that it should be permanent. He wrote to her on a subsequent day, promising to call upon her again with his friend Mr. Wilkinson, a respecta ble gun-maker, of Ludgate-hill. They called accordingly, and were introduced as before. She pulled a letter from her pocket, from which she either read, or pretended to read, observed how fortunate it was that, by a vacancy that had just occurred, she imagined she could exactly accommodate his views, for she could obtain the situation of Storekeeper in the Island of Guern sey. It was worth, she added 7001. a year, with a house, coals, candles, and other perquisites; there was also at the same place a clerkship of 2001. a year; but besides the smallness of the income, the duties were rather menial, and would not perhaps_ suit him. Upon being asked the terms upon which her in terest was to be procured, she replied, that she always ex pected and received two years purchase for whatever office she procured, and upon further conversation 1,2001. was talked of as the purchase-money. The parties, after this verbal un derstanding, were about to take their leave, when the lady ob served, that it was usual for her to receive a deposit, before she used her interest in behalf of any applicant ; and on being asked what amount of deposit she required, her reply was 100 L Mr. Campion withdrew, and promised to apprize her of his de termination, after consulting his friends. Mr. Wilkinson wrote a note to the lady, offering his responsibility for• the payment of fifty pounds of the deposit as soon as she commenced the exer cise of her interest. Mr. Canipion called with the letter, and also offered to write a similar guarantee in his own beh a lf, so as to assure Mrs. Baldwin that the deposit would be immediately forthcoming, when they saw the course which her interest would take. On receiving this intimation, the lady instantly said, with an assumed tone of offence, that the matter had better drop ; her terms were as she.had mentioned. A cheque was then given her for 501. ln cross-examination by Mr. ADol.Pwirs, he said that he thought at the time he inserted the advertisement in The Times newspaper to have settled his property and obtained a perma nent situation. Ile never said he wanted a place- under Go. vernmenti nor were his views 'particularly directed to such a situation. The day he gave the defendant his cheque for 501. he had made up his mind to take the storekeepership at Guern sey. He galie the defendant the 501. because she said if there was any want of confidence in her, there must be an end of all transactions between them. Tu re-examination by ALLEY, the witness sai;stliat the defendant had taken the 501. as a security that he should not, fly from Ins engagement Mr. 'Wilkinson, gunmaker, of Ludgate-hill, was next called, and corroborated the statement of his friend, Mr. Campion. In cross-examination, he said he could not swear that the defendant had mentioned the name of his Grace the Dul.;.e of Wellington. He might have heard his Grace's nrme from the prosecutor. The Duke of Wellington was then examined. He deposed that he is Master General of the Ordnance. The office of store keeper at Guernsey was vacant in 1820. That office was in his gift. He never had any communication with the defendant on the subject of that office. The office was given to a gentleman who had served as paymaster under him in the Peninsula. Mr. William Johnstone, head clerk under the Master- General of the Ordnance, proved that the office in question was vacant in the summer of 1820, and had since been filled up. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. ADOLPHUS then addressed the Court for the defendant. He commenced by observing, that all the counts in the indict ment, with the exception of one, stated the place of store keeper at Guernsey to be in the gift of the Crown—whereas the evidence proved it to be in the gift of the Master General of the Ordnance. This being the case, all these counts necessarily fell to the ground. Mr. A Li.Es; submitted, that his Learned Friend was in error, and, on reference to the indictment, proved that ou three several counts the office had been properly described. Mr. ADOLPH us admitted his mistake, and said he was only desirous of meeting the charge precisely as it had been support ed, and stripped of all extraneous observation. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to examine the evidence, and to con tend that the offence imputed to his client had not been sup ported. He also observed on the conduct of the prosecutor, who was himself guilty of an offence under the same A et upon which the present indictment was founded, coming forward to seek vengeance on an unfortunate woman, to whose guilt he was himself instrumental by the inducement which he had held out in his advertisement. The CliAlltMAl! summed up the critlence, and having ex plained the law on the subject, left the Jury to form their own conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of— Guilty. The Court sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned melee months in the House of Correction. Immediately after her conviction, the defendant was put on her trial for having obtained 1001. from another person on lar pretences. 31r. ALLEY stated the cane for the prosecution in a very forcible manner. He said he felt as much as he ought to feel at being obliged again to press a charge against the defendant.— But, when he saw persons in the low situations of life, Session after Session, sentenced to transportation for fraudulently obtain ing a few shillings, he could not think lie did his duty to his country were he to advise his much injured client to be satisfied with the punishment which could he inflicted on the defendant for the offence of which she had been found guilty, which could be iio more than fine and imprisonment ; but for the fraud charged in the second indictment, she would, if found guilty, become subject to transportation. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to state the facts of the case. As soon as Mr. Alley had stated the case, Mr. ADOLPHUS addressed the Court for the defendant. He Raid, he had forborne to interrupt his friend's energetic speech, but he had a legal objection to the indictment which must be fatal. The Learned Gentleman then read the clause of the Act of Parliament, the fifty-second of George the Thiid, under which the defendant was indicted, which re ferred to the Act of the twenty-seventh of George the Second, for the punishment to be inflicted for the offence ; and ho also read the concluding words of the indictment, which were, " contrary to the statute ;" and he submitted to the Court that it was as plain as A B C, that the concluding words of the in. dictment should be " contrary to the statutes ;" using the plural instead of the singular number. The CHAIRMAN concurred in the objection and directed a verdict of acquittal, which was accordingly pronounced by the Jury. Mr. ALLEY said, he had not drawn the indictment, but the defendant should be again indicted next Sessions. On Tuesday last, Mr. W. Jacob, Printer and Stationer, was sworn in a Member of the Corporation of Winchester. Sir Heru'y Wright Wilson, Bart. M.P. has accepted the Office of Vice-President of the Hampshire Agricultural Society for the year. On Thursday last, Richard Littlehales, Esq.,.
