PERJURY.—Yesterday John Painter was indicted for wil ful and corrupt perjury, alleged to have been committed in a cause in the Court of Common Pleas, Smells and another v. Russell, tried at the Sittings after Michaelmas Term last, at Mr. IVALrortn for the prosecution, stated, that a parcel, containing 3161. in country bank-notes, was, on the Ist of Dec. 1820, puked at Sir John Perring .and Co.'s, in London, and delivered to the defendant, who was a-servant there, to be taken to ..R;lsselrs waggon-office, Friday- street, • thence to be for warded by the waggon to Plymouth. It was sealed with the -official seal of Sir John Perring and Co. and directed to L‘'essrs. Shiells and Co. Bankers, at Plymouth, to whom the notes belonged. A parcel, sealed and directed, in imitation of that, did arrive at Messrs. Shiells and Co.'s; at Plymouth; but when it was opened, it was found to contain only wastepaper. - ThOse Gentlemen brought an action against Mr. Russell, as ,proprietor of the waggon, to recover the amount of the sum-de posited-in the genuine parcel ; and, upon the trial of the cause in the Common Pleas, the perjury charged against the defen- •dant aas committed. The Jury retired for an hour and a half, and then returned with a verdict of Guilty. [PROCEEDINGS OF THIS MORNING.] A t half past 10 o'clock the Court met, pursuant to the ad. journment of Last night. The Officer having made the usual proclamation, the Cleric of Arraigns ordered that John Nighten. g'de should be called, which being done, and he not answer ing, the Court requested an officer io proceed to the several public houses, and inquiry if John Nightengale was likely to be forthcoming. The officer returned, stating that Nightengale was not to be found. Mr. HUMPIIRIES ' his Attorney, said that he saw Nighten. gale this morning at 8 o'clock, and had told him to be here al ,ten with his witnesses. Mr. ALLEY said it vould have been quite as civil if Mr. Nightengale had intimated to him his intention of not appear ing, as that would have saved him the trouble of attending. The COON SERJEANT then discharged the London Jury, and ordered the bail of John Nightengale, which are two, in 2501. each, to be estreated into his Majesty's Exchequer. John Painter, the person convicted of perjury yesterday even ing, in which transaction the before-named Nightengale took so prominent a part, was then placed at the bar to, receive sentence, - when the Co B.t MON SERJEANT ordered him to be transported for seven years. Soloman lielloway, the man convicted of obtaining goods and money under false pretences, was also sentenced to he trans ported for seven years, after which the Court was adjourned until Wednesday, the 17th day of April next. The destruction of.nlachinerY, and the diaho lical practice—a practice so horribly repugnant to every English • feeling—of setting fire to corn-stacks and farm-buildings, still -.continue, in various parts of our district. Nor are these crimes unaccompanied. by other indications of the most savage fex oeity, which we forbear, to. mention. The disease seems to spread. We deeply sympatlilie .with the distress and sufferings of the poor; but these people:thust, he told—indeed it ought to be :strongly inculcated, from the pulpit—from the bench—from the Sessions and Assize Courts throeghout the Kingdom—that it is not by such proceedings that they can hope to obtain relief. —" Indeed," exclaims one of the liebdomadary organs of the faction in our neighbourhood, the general cry is, that unless something be done, neither property nor any other tie of society -can be secure." What, we would ask, is to be done ? Can you point out any su re, and safe, an d certain mode of relief? I fyou can, (3overnncent will not only . cheerfully but gratefully adopt it. " But," continues.the writer alluded to, in the same sentence, " when an. eye is turned upon the public newspapers, the speeches • , of the Ministers almost drive the most sanguine of the land owners to despair"!" Gracious I-leaven ! what can such a re mark as this mean ? .I,ve can account for it only upon the Prig -ciple, that "all seems ydloiv to the jaundiced eye." It is, in 'deed, by remarks such as•these, and by speeches—speeches of a very different character from any of those 'which haVe been made by. Ministers—made at County Meetings, and . in other places, that the worst feelings of the mob have been inflamed, and that the sewer classes have been. erroneously .and cruelly laught to believe, that their rulers have no feeling—no pity no commiseration for their distresS. The heartsichens,at such proceedings—at such ,pernicious calumnies ; bnt, thank God! and we say . so in the ferYency of our hearts—we firmly believe , that the reign of delusion is nearly over, and that the real friends of the people will soon 'be distinguished from those wolves in sheepVclothing, which have so long been prowling ..about, seeking whom they may , devour. The contemptible jusgle—the pitiful electioneeringmanceuvres—that were played ~off at our late County Meeting, must go far to tear the mask From thelace.of e the hypocrites.—.(Bury Gazette,. March 6.) THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERS FALSU.4I AUDEAT LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1822. The Partizans and Friends (as they style themselves,) of the late unhappy QUEEN, have now, we trust, discharged the last arrow of their .quiver; they have shot the shaft in mere despe ration, and only, as we should judge, from the shame of holding it idly in their hands,—for it was launched with such a faint hand, and un steady aim, as sheaved no hope, and scarcely even a wish, that it should reach the mark.— Mr. BENNET, in opening the debate, anticipated the fate of his motion, and the House rejected it, without taking the trouble to divide. The only purpose it appears to have answered was that of consuming so much time, that Mr. HuruE and his friends bad an opportunity, at its close, of ob jecting to a Committee of Supply under pretext of the lateness of the hour ; and upon this sub ject the House divided twice. In his statement of the indignities offered to her late MAJESTY'S remains, Mr. BENNET was sin gularly unfortunate, being positively contra dicted, in almost every instance where he ven tured a specific statement, either by his own friends or by those of Ministers. For example, he relates that at Harwich the Royal coffin was lowered into a boat without the pall or Crown, or any accompanying ceremonies. With respect to the Crown and pall Dr. LUSHINGTON makes a directly opposite statement ; as does Mr. CALVERT, who declares further that the coffin was lowered into the boat with all the accustomed solemnities, in the presence of many friends of her MAJ ESTY, none of whom expressed dissatis faction. Mr. BENNET says, that at Stade, not the slightest preparation was made for the recep tion of the funeral, and that the battery fired a salute, but without orders. Mc. CALVERT states, that the church at Stade was covered with black cloth; and Sir G. COCKBURN declares that he himself ordered the firing of the guns. Mr. BENNET complains that, in the frigate which conveyed the Royal remains, a cabin had not been pre pared for their reception, and there was no ac commodation for her late MAJESTY'S friends.— On these points he is again contradicted by Sir GEORGE COCKBURN. Mr. BENNET laments the want of decent solemnity in the appearance of Brandenburgh House on this occasion ; Mr. II emr., on the other hand, is broken-hearted at the"" profligate want of economy" exhibited in adorning the apartment where her MAJESTY lay, with black cloth, when the corpse was actually removed only two days after. Now, when these discrepancies prevail be tween respectable eye-witnesses, whom are we to believe ? and what allowance are we to make for inaccuracies of recollection in reviewing the other parts of Mr. BENNET'S narrative, where, for instance, he declares, that in London the affliction exhibited at the time of the fune ral, particularly among the females, was as deep as at the interment of the lamented Princess CHARLOTTE ! and that throughout the German part of its route, the funeral procession might be said to have moved upon flowers, so prodigally were garlands strewed be fore it by the female part of the population ! Upon the investigation of her late Majesty's con duct, very severe inferences were drawu from the slightest disagreements in the evidence of those who professed to be eye-witnesses. It would perhaps be thought hard upon Mr. BENNET to judge him by the same rule which was so rigidly applied on that occasion_; and he at least must grant, after what passed last night, that a man may differ in his testimony from those who were spectators of the same event, without having any intention to pervert the truth. With respect to the indecent scene in the Church of Chelmsford, which Mr. BENNET con templates with holy " horror and indignation," Dr. LUSIIINGTON seems very properly to have felt that the burden of justification lay upon those who, by night and by stealth, indefiance of orders which they acknowledged them; selves incompetent to resist, attempted to affix a slanderous inscription on her MA JESTY'S coffin. It was the QUEEN'S dying re quest that he should do so ; and such a re quest, according to the Learned Gentleman's argu ment, was necessarily to be complied with, what ever scandal, or indecency, or outrage, might attend on the performance ! It was not enough that Dr. LIJSIIINGTON had done all that could le gitimately be done, byapplying to Lord LIVERPOOL for his sanction to this proceeding ; his con science could not rest till he had accomplished, or at least attempted, the chivalrous adventure of filching one coffin-plate, and shuffling another into its place. Whatever credit may be due to the romantic 'gallantry of this attempt must certainly be conceded to Her MAJESTY'S Ex ecutors; but they must also bear the weight of Mr. BENNET'S indignation for the paltry and ig nominious scuffle in which their adventure ter minated. It appears to have been a great difficulty with the Members of Opposition to find any person on whom blame could with any chew of justice be cast for the occurrences complained of.— The truth is, that if the management of her MA JESTY'S funeral had been left entirely in those hands to which it properly belonged,—if the Executors had not attempted to impede and to controul the operations of Government, in a matter for which Government alone was responsible, and with which no other party had a right to interfere, a great part, if not the whole, of the inconveniences in question would never have occurred. And we believe further, that the tumult which was raised for the purpose of diverting the funeral procession from its intended route would not have taken place, if the clamour, the chicanery, the ostentatious remonstrances, and the significant predic tions of her late MAJESTY'S adherents, had not revived the curiosity and rekindled the passions of the populace in a cause which they had long regarded with apathy, &not with con tempt. There were accounts this day stating, that alarming riots had taken place in Norfolk, that a mob had been breaking machines, and that a Magistrate had arrived in town to communicate these events to GovernMenti The same melancholy recitals continue to ar rive from IRELAND, and more atrocities have been committed in the county of Limerick. A Cork Paper of Saturday last says—" On Thursday, the following men were executed at Carrigan immy :—Daniel Murphy, Patrick Lehane, Thos. Goggin, and Cornelius Lucy. Yesterday morn ing the other five men who were sentenced were taken to Deshure, and there met the same fate as those on the preceding day." The Limerick Chronicle of the same day says, 44 Yesterday evening, at seven o'clock, Henry Shehan, conveying the mail from Rathkeale to Shanagolden and the Kerry line, and one escort of the Third Light Dragoons, were fired at by some ruffians from behind a ditch, who killed the post-man and his horse, wounded the dragoon, and took off the mail. The oc currence took place so near the town of Rath keale, in this county, that the shots were heard by the police and the 42d, who instantly repair ed to the scene, and found the post-man welter ing in his blood. He was conveyed to the mili tary hospital, where he languished in extreme agony, , and 'breathed his last at twelve o'clock. The dragoon (who fired four shots) is badly wounded in the thigh. A vigilant pursuit was set up for the perpetrators, and several fellows were taken up, who, if not concerned in the mur der, will be tried under the Insurrection Act." The same Paper relates other outrages, such as burning of houses, flogging persons, stealing horses, posting up bills to prevent payment of rents, country charges, and Church rates, and demanding obedience to Captain Rock's mandates. A private letter from a very intelligent corre spondent says that nothing but :MARTIAL LAW can check the Insurgents, and afford any hope of restoring peace to the country. We have received- Char!estown Papers this morning to the 9th February. (From the Charlestown Courier, Feb. 9.) Mr. WATKINS, Secretary of the Commissioners under the Spanish Treaty, in a note addressed to the Editors of the National lntelligencer, states, that the Board have settled the following propositions, and no other:—" That to enable the claimant to have his memorial received for examination, be must set forth a case, the fact of which, if granted to be true, would have- given him a just claim against Spain if this treaty had not been made. In applying this rule, it will be seen that the Board recognize no claim growing out of the French seizures in Spain."—Mr. W. states that the number of memorials already exa mined exceeds five hundred. BUNGAY MEETING.—Several Gentlemen of the County of Suffolk, who profess themselves to be Friends to Parliamentary Reform, attended a Public Dinner on Tuesday at Bungay.—JosnuA GRIGSBY, Esq., took the Chair. Sir THOMAS BEEVOR, Messrs. FELLOWS, QUAILE, POWELL, the Rev. HENRY WATSON, the Rev. CORN WALLIs, and other persons well known in the County, were present.—The Chairman, in a long speech, urged the topics usual on such oc casions. lie attacked Ministers with great vio lence, and declared his belief that they would not object to sink the Country into a new war. The Editor of the Suffolk Chronicle, one of the company, expressed his conviction that nothing but a Reform could remedy the grievances of the Country. One of the toasts was 44 The Duke of Norfolk, and a removal of all civil dis tinctions on account of religious opinions." — Such was the regard of the company for our Protestant Establishment. Government was ac cused of raising an infamous war against France when she was emerging from the darkness of Despotism—Buonaparte was styled 4 , 4 a great man-"—The mob-riots at Manchester were deno minated the "Manchester Massacre "—Mr. PITT was accused of inconsistency, because in early life he recommended measures which his im proved wisdom and experience induced him to oppose. That great patriotic Statesman was called The Apostate PITT. Lord SIDMOUTII, Lord CAL THORPE, and Lord LONDONDERRY, came in for a due share of liberal notice ; and a Mr. FowLEa, referring to the " principle of resurrection," an expression of the last Noblemiin, de clared, that 44 if it were his happiness to see him (Lord L.) in his grave, he would never pray for his resurrection." We presume that our readers,, after these proofs of the temper of the company, are fully satisfied with this brief notice of the Meeting, in which the guests, like Lord Tim- MOND'S Cocks, were " all on one side." BRIGHTON, MARCH 5.---BIS MAJESTY took an airing in au open carriage this afternoon, from two to four o'clock. In health, his Majesty never looked better—his manner wa's peculiarly cheer ful. Affectionate and loyal greetings met him in all parts of the ride. Mr. MATTHEWS, in his forthcoming At Home at the English Opera, appears to be starting upon the Irish plan, viz. concluding where he should have begun, with his Birth, Parentage, and Edu cation. We have had his various fictitious ad ventures, but the present, we are assured, is a very .comic arrangement of matters of fact. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL.—Shocking Depravity. --On Monday the 4th instant, a woman entered the boarding house of Mr. Du BRINT, in Dean's-yard, Westminster, be tween the hours of three and four, while the young Gentlemen were attending School, and contrived to pilfer from the dining room several articles of wearing apparel, together with sonic silver forks and spoons, with which she would have made off; had not an ipteresting young female, who happened to be visit ing at the house (and whoin we have since learnt to be a young foreigner), stepped forward and detained her by the arm, upon which the old hag, turning suddenly, made a plunge at the bo som of the young Lady (with a fork she had stolen) who hap pily arrested her arm time enough to frustrate _her diabolical in tentions, and calling for assistance succeeded in detaining her till some of the domestics arrived to her aid, one of whom was in stantly dispatched for a constable, who having arrived she was reconducted to the house, where, upon being searched, the fore mentioned article's were found in her possession,concealed beneath her cloak. The old wretch, on seeing the Constable, fell wisher knees,and clasping her hands, intreated him to have pity on her extreme age (being upwards of 80), declaring it was the last offence she would commit. The Constable then conveyed her to the watch-house, where, strange to say, she was dismissed with merely an admonition, - 16, LONDON'. COUNTRY. NO. 64. IRELAND. Tuesday, March 12, Coax. No. 71.

Sir Charles Flower gave an elegant dinner on Monday last, at his house in Finsbury-square. " Nothing," says a _Letter from St. Petersburgh, dated the 4th ult., " could exceed the dazzling brilliancy of the Grand Masquerade at Court on New-Year's Day, (the 12th of Jan.) Upwards of 20,000 persons perambulated the saloons of the winter Palace. The Russians, with their wives, were all gaily clad in national costume : some were in dominos, yet without masks, these not being permitted at any of the Court Masque rades. It was, indeed, an imposing moment when the Imperial family, in pairs, made their appearance as they were about to repair to the Hermitage, where supper was served up. His Ma jesty the Emperor had in his arm the Grand-Duchess Maria of %Veinier, who was habited most splendidly a-la-RitsBe, her fine person being, in fact, one shining mass of the most brilliant diamonds : then came their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael, followed by a numerous cortege of gaily-clad courtiers. The capacious theatre in the Hermitage had - been transformed into an immense saloon, where tables were laid for more than 500 persons. It was truly a fairy scene, the effect of which was heightened by an illumination that beg gars eescription. Imagine a large Rotunda,whose lofty walls all roind are inlaid with the most beautiful filagree word;, besm Med with glass t eads, over the wh of which is drawn a net of silver gauze, illumined behind by some thousands of lamps. Then there was thecoup d'ceilpresented by the serpentine tables, groan ing under the mass of gold and silver vessels that were placed upon them, partly for ornament and partly for use. The lu s t re , like the meridian sun, was almost too much for the eye to dwell upon. In the centre of this grand saloon a round table was laid out for the members of the Imperial famly ; and twenty Moors, shining in the richest Oriental costume, stood, ready to wait upon them. A profusion of the most odoriferous flowers threw out an aroma, that might well nigh be compared with the sweet scents of an Arabian grove. All the senses were delight ed, for the rich savoury dishes that soon made their appearance rave the last finish to a scene as magnificent and imposing as ever wai witnessed, even in the days of the gorgeous Po temkin."
