Tug Furgns,—lt is said there is a very strong parry in the Stock Exchange who are interested in depressing !he Funds, they having sold a quan tity of Stock at low prices. These operations this morning produced a fall of rather more than a half per cent. Cons° were marked as done at 81 for the A , rounr, although there was only about 1,0001. sold at that price. Several Brokers having 3f•erwards come in to buy, the Market rose ra pidly, and at twelve o'clock the prices were, for the August Account, Si H. A Letter from a Gentleman in Lord AMIIERST's Suite, dated Batavia, 3el March, states—" The 114r/6:cell, Providence, And Sovereign, were to sail front Cat ton about a fortnight after us (the Al cute sailed 28th January, and from Manilla 9th February). Vcsiels have been sent to the Straits of Lundy, by order of the Governor in Council, to intercept and bring them here to convey us home: Should we miss these ships by any chance, there are two more to sail from China after them, viz. the Werford and Elphiu.slone." The Marquis of Ely and Scalehy Castle East In diatnen, which arrived the 4th ult. sailed from China the 24th of January. The Rosalie, limn Cuba, arrived at Cadiz the 4th inst. after being taken and plundered on the 29.1 t ult. by the lndelieudence of the South and another insurgent I,rivateer. The Dido, lIERENTWING, from Bourdeaux, was captured the 24th ult. off Ushant, by a Tuni sian corvette an.l schooner (which were detained and sent into the Downs), and carried into Co ruuna the 4 b inst. front whence they intended to proceed to Tunis with their prize. %Ve received this morning the Paris Papers of Aloud:ly last. The last Bulletin states the Duchess de BERRY to be very well. The following are E \tracts : " l'Aatt:, JULY 21.—The Duke de Lachatre, first Goldman of the Chamber, arrived from London on Saturday evening. " After Mass yesterday, tl►e King received the Prince!, Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors, Marshal!, &c. " The Nuremberg Gazette contains the following paragrob :—" We understand that the Editors ok the Vrai Liberal, going from Brussels to Ham burgh, intended to publish in the. latter city, in stead of Veilleur, which is extinguished, a n6v periodical Journal, entitled Gardien de l'Alterlagne; hat this plan Was given up, there being no want there in these peaceable times, of either Veilleur or Gardien. These political apostles have journey inicon•- • • sequence continued their further north In search of some little corner where their liberalism n4y meet with new partisans." " 'Fite King of \Vnrtemberg is stated to have arrived at WissembOurg, to review his troops. It is added, that his Majesty preserves the strictest incognito. " Recent advices from Milan state, that 'the petechill disorder diminishes in Lombardy, but its ravages have been more considerable than is gene- . rally known.

It is thought he will fix hi, residence at }Luau." The acquittal of 11 1 1iitiLEY, accused of having administered an unlawful oath at Glasgow, of which our Readers will find a full account in Tn a SUN of this day, has naturally excited exultation in the Party Writers, who cannot conceal their joy when any persons charged with attempts to overthrow tl►e Government have the good luck to escape. The Chronicle, of course, takes the lead in thus triumphing over those who, upon strong grouudi, direct prosecutions against persons charged with such atrocious attempts. It is asto nishing with whit credulity the Chronicle listens to any accusations against the Officers employed by Government, and with what scepticism it attends to accusations against those who, upon the most rea sonable presumptions, are pot upon trial for the most daring acts of Sedition and Treason. Such is the case with the Chronicle, and because a fellow named CASIPBSW., who was called as a witness, tells a long story, which is probably a lie front beginning to end, the credulous Chronicle believes every syllable, poor innocent Paper, not conceiving that this CdimPLIELL may be an artful fellow who knew, or had reason to hope, that his narrative would render him an incompetent witness, and that as such he would be dismissed by the Court. By the testimony of tire other witnesses, it was proved that an unlawful oath, or bond, as they called it, was introduced among a set of formers, and that they assented by holding up their hands ; but the proof was not brought; home to 11`NPrwrY, and he was therefore ac-- quitted. But we find by the address of Lord Chief Justice . CLERK to the Prisoner, after his acquittal, that his Lordship considered the Pri soner as actually guilty, adn u rtris!►ed hint to pur sue a better course, and signified, that though he was acquitted he would carry a brand on his cha racter. Will the Public put the opinion of the Morning Chrohicle against that of a high Law Au thority, who presided on the Trial, and was'so well qualified by learning, abilities, and experience, as well as by a patient bearing of the case, to form a proper jodgment The comparison would be in the highest degree indecent and absurd.—But we find that the prisoner himself expresses his thanks for the kindness which he had received from the Loin) ADVoCATE, and therefore there is an additional reason for distrusting the narrative of CattraELL, who declared his repugnance to state his sufferings iu confinement 1 Why should he have such a repugnance ? It is natural for the oppressed to complain, not to suppress complaint. The probability is, that if he had been permitted to complain by the Court, lie would only have added more falsehoods to his story, Y,et this is the titan, au accomplice too, upon whose test in►ony the credulous Chronicle relies, as an irreiragable proof of the innocence of M`KINLEY. We bad nei , her time nor space to notice an article _which appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday relative to the Prisoners in Gaol at Reading. Tke. article appeared in the Times Newspaper, a Paper that once 'firmly, but with a stew of independence, gave its:Sul - olioll to - 1 0 . .: vernment, but which now seems to be decidedly and bitterly hostile to all its measures. The Paper in question begins its observatimis on this subject in the following manner A very in teresting occurrence has taken place in the County of 'Jerks, with respect to the State Prisoners, a 5 they are culled, confined in the Bridewell, Peni tentiary House, or County Gaol, at Reading." Now what are the Prisoners in question but Slate Prisoners ? The very commencement of the article therefore betrays a captious spirit which promises little candowr and justice in its pro. gross. Here it spews ignorance, or pretends :o be mistaken. It then commits a patvable mistake - in calling Lord Fout.sToNo a riszt ing' Magistrate, which is not the tact. The Noble Lord, who seems always to be wishing to fish in troubled :paters, wanted, indeed, to. render himself a visiting Magistrate, by officiously goitag to the Gaol and demanding admittance, without dud authority, stud because he Was rclusetl;t bought piltp;:r tit bring (be matteriuto Parlimerd. What was the consequence—the House of Comnrtns, by its decision on his Lordship's Motion, folly Justified the order originally given by Lord Sin- Not.mr, who, as the Public will recollect ; pro ceeded with sound discretion and regar,l for the Law, the Constitution, and the tranquillity of the Country, by consultiog the Law Officers of the Crovin, who gave their entire sanction to the of the measure. As to the visiting Magis trates, one anti all, they are certainly full as te speetable in private character as Lord FOLKS I ONC, and es little disposed to turn a deaf ear to Huy reasonable complaint, or give their sanction to any 'injustice. His Lordship's Motion in Par liament was for the production of Lord Sin eitotmes orders, denying access to all but the visiting Magistrates. But if such orders bad not been given, meddling Magistrates, of qiie Reforming description, though, we trust, iliere are - very few of such in the country, might also have thought proper to follow the exantple of his Lordship, and intrude into a Gaol, for an inspection of which most respectable Ma gistrates were specially appointed. The Paper, with a fine affectation of sensibility ; then says, these Prisoners " were entirely put out of the pale of humanity, in a Way that makes the heat t tremble that but conteniPlates their possible situa tion." The word possible was well introduced, for it has great weight and meaning in this place, though it is totally at variance with truth, for the Visiting Magistrates are full as attentive to the calls . of justice Joni humanity as Lord FOLKSTONE, or auy of his political pe elanx, though they may not be so constantly in pwrsuit of popularity. 'The next misrepresentation of the Paper in question, whether wilful or not the Writer best knows, is, that the visiting Magis trates were denied access to the Prisoners. Offi cious and Reforming Magistrates, if any,, might, indeed, be denied access, but not the Magistrates . especially - appointed to that duty.—There are other points of political cant in the Paper alluded to, which we pass over to come to what it calls " a my interesting occurrence," but which we conceive will be deemed by all rational and good, subjects a very extraordinary one: Lord FOLK remit addressed - a written co.lplaint to the Quar ter Sessiott,• alleging his having been. refused admission to the Gaol. The Magistrates, in eon sequence, threaten the Gaoler, that if he obeys the order of the SECRETARY of STATE, in prefer ence to their assumed authority, he shall be dis missed front Isis office. The Gaoler solicits time to deliberate, in 'order to make an appeal to the SECILETAKY of STATE, and is allowed ONE HOUR ! The'poor man, afraid of losing a situation, in which, by all accounts, be has conducted himself properly in every relpect, submits, and is suffered to re tain his post. The Magistrates have favoured the Paper in question with their Advertisement, containing their Resolutions on the subject. Now these Magistrates form only a very small part of the general Body of the County Magistrates, and car ried their Resolutions in a hugger mugger manner, unknown to the rest. But this is not all. These resolving Magistrates set up their own judgment against the opinions of the CROWN LAWYERS, supported by the best Law Authorities, men too respectable to give opinions contrary to a con scientious couviction of their legality, but also to the decision of the House of Commons.—lt is impossible that the matter should rest here. The great body of Magistrates must come for ward and avow their tiissent from these extraor dinary proceedings, for the honour of the Coun ty, and not suffer any body, whatever his tank, to begin a general system of modern Reform in 1 Berkshire. REFORM FESTIVAL.-- . -It is stated that the rabble Refornsers, who hare escaped from the tend to hold a festival on the occasion. The Tra velling Orator is expected to preside as Chairman on the ccc:n,ion, antLuo taian can be ht-tter qua.- lified for the office, Woo Lift, another of the political sages, %eh° kindly gives his advice for good Government, is to be thefice-President.
