A juror said this was a case in which no man of honour, scribe, or reputation, ought to waist ; the complainant ought to withdraw the prosecution ; there was not a rain on the jury who was a father but felt his (complainant's) conduct was very improper. After some further discussion, another juror said it was a most painful thing to the jury ; indeed they were quite disgusted. Witnesses were called, who corroborated the fact of the assault. Mr. PHILLIPS said he did not feel it necessary to ad-. drehs the jury, as he admitted the assault, and the provo cation would be taken into consideration in the sentence. The RECORDER, at great length, pointed out to the de‘• fendant the gross impropriety of his conduct, arid said a father was doing no more than his duty in preventing his daughter from marrying such a man. The complainant had ' invoked the punishment he had received; the defendants, however, ought not to have taken the law into their own hands. The sentence of the Court was, that they should individually enter into their own recognizances in 1001. each, and two sureties in 201., to keep the peace, and to receive judgment when called upon ; and as the complain ant manifested a disposition to repeat his conduct, he must also enter into his own recognizances for 100/. The complainant said he certainly would persist, and ho would rot in jail rather than give up his object. The RECORDER said if he did. imperative measures would be taken against him.

PELLow COUNTRyIIIN, Long ere you receive this Address, the doleful tidings will lave reached you that FROST, WILLIAMS , and JONES live been transported : that they have been transported con. tary to the Law of England is manifest and undeniable ; but that tie Law, backed by the voice of millions, will in the end triumph ever tyranny, persecution, andprejudice, no true Englishman can doubt; and we are fully persuaded, by evidences innumerable, teat you hive already determined to adopt every constitutional neans to promote and accomplish this object. We fully estimate the immense value of Trial by Jury ; it is one of the most important of our birthrights ; but in proportion h its importance should the purity of its operation be main tained, and fear and prejudice be removed from the sacred box. It was net so in the case of the Welsh Martyrs, nay, it would Rem as though every engine had studiously been put in motion that Ras calculated to produce a strong bias in the public mnd TO the NOBLITY, GENTRY, and CLERGY. —DINING-ROOM FURNITURE, a Great Bargain.—A superior Axminster carpet and rug, cur tains for three windows, of crimson silk, lined throughout; sixteen Spanish chairs in morocco leather, an 8-feet Spanish mahogany sideboard, richly carved ; an extending telescope dining-table, 14 feet by 5 feet.

You are well acquainted with the early efforts of the public press to misrepresent their conduct, to calumniate their charac ters, and to excite fear and prejudice in the minds of that por tion of the community from which jurors are usually chosen. You are also aware that under sanction of the local authori ties, and before the Trials had taken place, the shops of New port were closed, and thanksgivings were offered up in the therei's that eeetain allei f ed_dasig,u4 hadlipen fruetraiedis64-- were thus takenJorygranted, but - eshich were never Picrieirto Save been enteitaisfe& This step, however well intended, or untsbjectionale in other respects. was inevitably calculated to produce strong feelings in the locality, and to increase the ge neral prejudice against the prisoners. As if these things were not enough, a minister of God, who ought to have been the messenger of pease and charity, seems to have thought it consistent with his sacred duty to make his pulpit the vehicle for alarming the fears of that class from which the Jury was about to be selected, and fur confirming the ex isting prejudice already so deeply rooted and injurious, and shame ! oh, shame to say ! the time chosen for this display was immediately before the Trial ; the spot was that where the Trial ^as about to take place, and the audience were those who were about to try the Prisoners. Had not a Special Commission been harshly appointed to in terfere with the usual course of law, and had the prisoners been ”rmitteul to remain until the regular Assizes, there is reason to believe that the alarm would have subsided—that reason would have assumed its power, and that much of the undue prejudice would have passed away ; for already has a Petition been pre sented, signed by a large portion of the inhabitants of Newport, avowing the false impressions under which they at that time laboured, and praying for the pardon of the Prisoners. Add to these circumstances that the Lord Chiel Justice, whose mind was above the local prejudice, delivered h is charge (which was in strict conformity with the evidence) decidedly and indisputably in favour of an acquittal. Have we not then ample reason to question the justice of those verdicts which the Juries returned in the ease of the Welsh Martyrs, notwith standine.' our devotedness to that palladiu m of our ri g hts? But, Fellow- countrymen, we have other and even stronger ground of appeal against the transportation of these men . We are authorised, by the solemn decision of six of the Judges of England, including a majority of the Special Comm scion, which, in this case, ought to be decisive—we have their irre sistible and positive authority, after mature deliberatioin, for declaring that the trials were contrary to the law of the land — that the convictions were illegal, and that the whole of the proceedin7s were essentially null and void from the beginning. Three other Judges, who, with the six, form a majority of the whole Bench, also decided that the Crown had not complied with the law ; •but the three alleged that t he p risoners had not objected at the right time. Now we respectfully ask, is it fair and just that the prisoners should suffer punishment under a conviction essentially bad, for not knowing the precise moment at which their objection should be urged, when the Judges themselves are at issue with each other, and even up to the present time have allowed the question to remain unsettled and in doubt If we turn to the records of ;the trial, we find that when th e Counsel for the defence first attempted to urge the objec tion, he was stopped by the Attorney-General, on the ground not that he was too late, but that he was too soon—that the proper time for urging it had not then arrived, which dictum of the Attorney-General was assented to and ruled by the pre siding Judges. These, Fellow -countrymen, we submit are reasons wich im peratively call for the pardon of these men; it is for you to determine whether, with persevering and effective energy, you will con ti nu e your exertions until the authority of the law be established, end the prisoners, as an act of justice, be restored to their families. We are well aware that you have done much—we know that petitions to the Queen, the Lords, and the Commons, signed by at h ast six hundred thousand p ersons, have already been presented, and we had h o p es that during the joyful ceremony of the marriage of our Queen, she would have been advised to listen to the prayers of her people; she would doubtless have been pleased,had such advice been given, to have dried up the tears of the wives and children of the un happy prisoners —to have established the sovereignty of the laws of the realm, and to have made her wedding-day the day of liberty to those whom the law had not condemned. Alas, it has not been so; our hopes are blighted, the law has not been vindicated, the prayers of the people have not been re spected, and justice and mercy have not prevailed. What, then, Fellow-countrymen, can we suggest, or what can you do? The cause of these Martyrs demands your atten tion, and we solemnly appeal to you on their behalf. We are assured that Lord John Russell has declared, " they were sent away to get rid of the excitement in their favour.' Shall the " excitement" cease whilst they are suffering in defiance of the law ? Shall it cease before the law is vindicated ? We are sure that your ready and decided answer will be, No ! Justice must be established ; the law must be vindicated, and Frost, Williams, and Jones must be recalled ! If, then, Fellow -countrymen, it be your determination to secure these objects, it is necessary that unanimity should pre vail, and that system and arrangement should mark every future proceeding. We, therefore, resp ectfull y su g gest the following recommendations for your calm and deliberate consi deration, and if you approve of them, we feel assured that you will instantly and universally adopt them : and 1.

I• Let the Association make arrangements successfully to demand of every candidate at the next general election, that he will, if returned to Parliament, unceasingly en. . . deavour to effect the liberation of the Welsh Martyrs. 8. Let the people of every city, borough , and cou nt y , be uni versally informed that en the next nominat ion-da y , a show of hands will be taken in reference to the Welsh martyrs ; and, that no mistake may be made during the hurry of the proceedings, take care to have large boards in readiness with the following words written in legible characters, " Hold up your hands for the release and return of the Welsh martyrs." Thus the Government will understand the wishes of the people upon this question. 9. Conclude the business of every public meeting held for what ever purpose with a resolution in favour of the law and the Welsh Martyrs. And now, Fellow-countrymen, to your work. Let no man lay he is too insignificant for the labour of mercy and justice ; the cause will sanctify the instruments, and the object to be attained will speedily produce assistance.

As they supply nothing but the . pure Cumberland Lead, those objections so frequently complained of are entirely removed.

NORWICH AGAINST ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS TO A CROWN. SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PUMPS. The most powerful in the world, with which a man of ten stone weight can raise an imperial barrel of water forty three feet high in a minute, but with no other Pump yet tried in a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor dinary, seldom below 70, and more frequently above 100 per cent., taking the average of the results of every altitude from 1 foot to 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of raising water was effected in the simplest manner possible, being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin ciple for Pumps, by which their friction and leakage was abo lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre dicting that it would prove limited and frail, who are now snivellicg about that their trade would be ruined, because Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are so economical and invariable in their action, that they coin minty perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with out the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re markably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car penters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain Pumps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from a well in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's camels. Sinee then appeared the four principles, namely, two limited, and two unlimited principles—two of them sliding principles, one a spiral principle, and one a rolling principle. I,t. The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by friction and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain, and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a limited sliding principle. 2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral principle. 3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder Pumps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed must they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the last 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle. 4th, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stocks of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor less than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis coverable defect or imperfection, it possesses every essential property for the purpose intended in the highest degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect Hydraulic Machine. The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq., F.L. S., published a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash, false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited, and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages in some cases, it cannot be used for great elevations. Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability. The rigid teeth of mamn - a and her four sisters were mostly gone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost indestructable. CASES SUFFICIENT. Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,0001., have not cost 21 per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them, from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the public roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth. A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse power), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet. N.B. It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up the water in the New Pump that wears out. Mark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same work. A Single-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Horton's, dyers, Norwich (manual power). Here the connectors of the New Pump last four times as long as did the packing of the old Pump it superseded. A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers, Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six teen months. This noble machine has not cost Bs. a year for connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE. The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in 1835, be tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor varied in effect. The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty. EFFECT. At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and sea, certify similar results. But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pomp in pre ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense, pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with out friction, Therefore, let us at once come to deeds to try the"ques tion, and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough. CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST TIME. Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a man of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument. The number of seconds required with one pump less than with the other, will be its gain in time and labour. The competitors should find the pumps and the public the pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew as much about raising water as sucking monkeys. Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo sition (Neranarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute. And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc cess of an invention of boundless and undying utility, which nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifying To the World's Obedient Servant and Instructor, W. SHALDERS. See Mechanics' Magazine, March 19, 1836 ; Sun Paper, Sept. 21, 1838; and Norwich Mercury, June 28, 1839. Bank Place Norwich, March 26, 1840. P.S.—No work is worse done than that of raising water. Respecting force and resistance both town and country Pump-makers seem most gloriously ignorant. I inquired of two men pumping, between London-bridge and the Tunnel, how long it took them to fill their six -b arre l water cart, lift thirteen feet ?—Answer : About seven minutes, quick working. With a No. Six New Plan they could have dons the like work in seventy seconds. One Fountain Pump would about equal all the three Cockney built Friction Pump s at the Queen's Barracks, Nor wich. W. S.

PATENT OMNIBUSES. —The present omnibuses have been long considered to require much improvement, and it seems that a new form is about to be introduced, which may be expected to obviate several existing i nconven i ences. The patent omnibuses will be divided into two different compart ments by a partition along the centre, and having a row of gers to tak e th e i r seats on each side ag ainst the partition, assenand facing the p win dows, ample room being given for seats, the sides to be entered by distinct doors, and rails to be fixed, so that invalids may guide themselves to and from the vacant places. As the windows will be in front of the passen gers when seated, ventilation may certainly then be obtained without the fear of taking cold ; but whether robberie s will be checked or the reverse is doubtful. There is to be a bell on each side, with strings within the reach of every passenger, to indicate when they wish to get out, and on which side of the way they desire to be put down ; also, which will be a great advantage if obtained, such an extent of the steps behind that passengers will not be compelled to tread on the carriage-road at all. EFFECT OF REDUCTION OF TAXES.—lmme diatoly after the reduction of the newspaper stamp duties, in September, 1836, there was an increase of full 50 per cent. in the stamps used in London, and the amount for each of the three years since has bee n as nearl y as possible the same; while the increased consumption of stamps for provincial papers was 75 per cent. for the first year ; and it has not stood still, like the London demand, but in the third year had risen up to 125 per cent. increase. This is another example of the reduc tion of taxation causing a great increase of consumption, with the prolsability that ultimately very little will be lost to the revenue. There is a set of very uncomfortable, discontented, grumbling politicians, who are for ever snarling and biting at every one around them, and at those who ap proach them nearest more than any body else. With microscopic eyes in detecting evils, however minute, they employ magnifying glasses of the highest power in exposing them to the public, so that they are for ever in a nervous state of irritability themselves, and delight in scaring all who venture to look through their poli tical telescope. They are eternally crying " Breakers a-head," frightening the passengers and distracting the crew. If two or three little clouds show themselves above the horizon, a mighty storm is about to burst. They have always an inexhaustible stock of dangers, and no sooner do you flatter yourself that one is passed, than another and " more terrible" is grimly announced to you. These gloomy politicians belong to no party--they hate all alike, and love no thing more than to set them by the ears. If the Whigs are in office they clap the Tories on tha back, and incite them by every possible means to get back " their own again." If the Whigs are out, they make cause with them, and never rest one moment till suc cess, which the gloomy politician abhors in every shape, comes to separate them. They advocate every mea sure till it is passed, and then abuse it. They detest majorities. How, they ask, could so many agree if there weren't roguery ? But the small minority—the half-a-dozen who persist in dividing upon an impracti cability—these are their men—these be your patriots! They are never in such good humour as when a Mi nistry is defeated, or when some real calamity has hap pened. Then they chuckle and crow and crack their jokes. Their prophecies are coming true ! There are men of talent among these gloomy politi cians, or the public would not tolerate them or their writings for a moment. But they are men full of crotchets and strange fancies. They never think like other people. They are always putting matters in new positions and dicovering new lights. It is quite sufficient for them to be discontented with a thing, if all the world beside is pleased ; and what is worse, they never rest till they have made the world as discontented as themselves. They work with great zeal and talent in attaining an object, and then exert equal industry and ability to prove that it is of no value. They write for men with empty stomachs or diseased liver ; these only can stomach the food they prepare. A man of sound constitution and good condition would turn from it in disgust ; for he would never believe the world is to be benefitted by such an intolerable deal of grumbling, or that people will grow better under constant flagellation.—Brighton Herald.

The population as enumerated in 1831 was 1,494,890. The weekly average for 1838 was obtained by dividing the deaths re tristered in that year by 52. In comparing it with the weekly deaths in 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis increases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the deaths would have been one 27th part more numerous. General Register-office, April 9, 1840. IMPROVEMENTS IN STEAM NAVIGATION. We have examined an invention of Messrs. Ruthven, for propelling vessels without paddle-wheels, on the principle of hydrostatics, which appears of very great importance, and will certainly form a new era in steam power. We believe patents have been obtained for it. Although the arrangements are simple, it may be difficult to describe them without having been seen ; but it may be observed, that the vessel, being relieved of the necessary great increase of breadth by the pad dle-boxes, must be much better adapted for sailing, for entering harbours, docks, navigable canals, rivers, &c. It is also rendered less hazardous in stormy weather— the rolling and pitching of the vessel make the paddle wheels convey a reaction on the engine and machinery, which is moat destructive to its parts, and requires all' to be made with a great increase of strength to sustain it as far as possible. The paddle-wheels, indeed, may be considered as the principal cause of i expense in steam-vessels, besides their im mense waste of the power given by the engine. There are many other disadvantages; attending the paddle-wheels, such as their irregular force producing a vibration and shaking over all the vessel ; the power being equally applied to both wheels, prevents the vessel steering in certain cases ; in backing the ves sel, the engine requires to be brought nearly to a state of rest before it can be reversed ; and the damage or loss of a paddle-wheel may render the vessel unman ageable. By propelling on the principles and ar rangements for which the patents have been obtained, the vessel is again restored to her form of bull and sailing properties, and admitted into any dock or harbour as any other vessel. In stormy weather it is not only more safe, but possesses advantages which may be stated a little in detail. There is no machinery outside the vessel, and no reaction can be conveyed to the engine inside ; the power of the en gine is rendered more effective, and calculated to ex ceed the speed of the paddle-wheel to a great extent ; there is no vibration of the vessel, being propelled by a uniform constant force ; it can be steered in any direc tion, retained in any position, turned or Lacked, with out any alteration of the engine—in fact., the vessel may be going forward, backward, or round, without those in attendance at the engine knowing it ; any power, more or less, may be given to either side of the vessel, without any connection with the engine —an object that has probably never before been obtained. The vessel is also to a certain extent independent of the helm ; that is, although the rudder was unshipped, she could be navigated without it. The sailing of sae vessel is thus left to the entire control of the com mander and seamen, while the engine only' has to be attended to by the engineer. We may add, that we are informed all the steam-vessels at present constructed can be altered without changing their engines, or in curring an objectionable expense.—Edinburgl; Cour rant. WINDSOR.—The day for her Majesty leaving Buckingham Palace for Windsor, for the Easter holidays, is not definitively fixed ; but from the circumstance of the private apartments at the Castle having been ordered to be in readiness for the reception of her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort by Wednesday next, the arrival of the Court at the Castle may be expected either on that or the following day. The festivities at the Castle are expected to be on a scale of great , splendour. Several evening parties, to conclude with quadrilles, are spoken of ; and during the Easter week, a grand review of the two regiments stationed at Windsor, to which will be added some other troops stationed in Hounslow, and in the neighbourhood of London, will take place in the Park. It is expected that some of the artillery from Woolwich will likewise be present. THE QUEEN 07 SPAIN AND THE ROYAL MARINES.—At a divisional parade of the Royal Marines, at their barracks at Woolwich, the commanding officer having ordered Sergeant Gain and Sergeant Swadlin, and Private Baker and Private Gough, to stand forward, said it was his , agreeable "duty to inform them that her Ma j est y the Queen Regent of Spain had been pleased to forward them the Spanish order of knighthood of San Fernando as a reward for their bravery and good conduct before St. Sebastian. The home government had also granted permission for them to wear this distinguished mark of royal favour, and he sincerely hoped that it would not be lost upon the corps, but have the effect of stimulating them to deeds of valour and of inducing them on all occasions to conduct themselves as brave soldiers and good men. The new made knights of San Fernando were then in vested with the insignia of this ancient military order, with which they seemed highly delighted, and fell back into the line to receive the congratulations of their comrades. POLICE IN THE DOCKS.—The metropolitan police, on the application of the London Dock Co d nipanT i , arc dray, st b ab o tlhes daya ain.lighntigwatt'chir! o b c e k stationed instead uponof the eo lit n i- L en n (L' eof°l rdlhithertoLondon Dock, employed and paid by the Company under their own immediate control. The following evidence was adduced for the prosecution. Mr. R. Berryman, senior clerk in the Prize-money Office, Chelsea Hospital, stated that Geo. Langley, a sergeant in the St. Helena artillery corps, was entitled to the sums of 160/., 43/., and 25/., for his share in the capture of Buenos- Ayres in 1806 ; these sums remained unpaid until 1835. It the claimants did not apply within six months the money became forfeited ; but it was customary for the Commissioners to give up the money to those entitled to it, upon petition, showing grounds for the delay in the claim. In 1833, a petition, dated Nantes, and signed "Geo. Lang ley, late of the St. Helena Artillery," praying for his share of the prize -money, was presented, when after some correspondence, another petition having been sent in, de tailing circumstances satisfactorily explaining the reason of the length of time the money had remained unclaimed, an order was transmitted to Langley, on the 24th of August, which was filled up and presented for payment by Mr. E. A. Phelear, to, whom 177/. was paid. The pri soner had been a prize agent before the date of this tran saction ; he was a lieutenant in the navy, and had been examined on the trial of Queen Caroline before the House of Lords; he was generally called Sir John Flynn. Mr. H. Daller proved the receipt and payment of the order, bearing the name of Langley, in August, 1835. Mr. George R. Holgate was also a clerk in the Prize Office in Chelsea College in 1835. The prisoner had been introduced to him by Mr. Beresford Heaton, for merly a navy agent, between whom, the witness, and the prisoner, an agreement was entered into that witness should furnish the names of soldiers who were entitled to un claimed prize-money, for which he was to receive two and a half per cent. on such sums as were recovered ; amongst other names that of George Langley was given to the prisoner, and if the money was paid he was to have five per cent. The prisoner told him to look out for Ser geant Langley's application ; when the money was paid the prisoner denied all knowlege of the circumstance. Witness had been sixteen years in the office, and the first offer of remuneration for information was from Mr. Hea ton ; he had received 500/. or 600/. as per centage ; it was contrary to the rules of the office, and his fellow clerks were ignorant of what he had done. He did not know that Langley was dead at the time he give the in formation ; be had acted in violation of duty and the Act of Parliament. His house had been searched in May last, and he afterwards gave information to the attorney for the prosecution. He had no idea that forgeries had been con templated. Mr. Beresford Heaton confirmed the evidence of the last-named witness as to his transactions with him. Mr. E. A. Theleur, a dancing-master, residing 'at St. Germains, in France, stated that he became acquainted with the prisoner in 1832, in France ; in 1835, be had lodgings in Great Marlborough-street, and the prisoner re quested him to permit his letters to be directed to him there, to which he acceded. On Aug. 20 in that year he received a letter from Nantes, containing an order in witness's name to receive money at Chelsea Hospital ; prisoner asked him to receive the money, which he did, but refused to pay it unless he received prisoner's receipt for the money. The prisoner went away, and in two or three days returned with a receipt, in the name of " George Langley," but witness would not then pay the money to him unless he put his name across the document, which he reluctantly complied with. At the time of this transaction the pri soner lived at No. 14, Great Charlotte-street, Blackfriars road, but was in the habit of going frequently to France, and had a house at St. Melo. Witness had continued fur four years at St. Germains, and came over on the re ceipt of the letter from the officers of Chelsea College ; he knew no person named Langley. John Loggis, an out pensioner of Chelsea College, stated that he had been in the St. Helena Artillery, and knew Sergeant Langley well ; he was at Buenos Ayres with him in August, 1806, and was present at the death of Langley, in the month of November following, and as sisted at his funeral ; it took place on board his Majesty's ship, Woolwich, on the return to St. Helena. Other witnesses proved the receipt of the money by Theleur, and that the same notes were in a few days paid into the Bank of England by the prisoner. Sir Matthew Wood, Dr. Lushington, and Mr. Vizard, Solicitor to the late Queen Caroline, bore testimony to the prisoner's high character at the time of the trial and for years afterwards. Baron ALIARSON summed up, when the Jury consulted together for about a quarter of an hour, and. then returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied by a strong recommen dation to mercy. Mr. Baron ALDERSON proceeded to pass sentence upon him. He said that he felt deep regret in seeing a man of his station in life in such a situation. He had hitherto borne a good reputation, but the crime of which he stood convicted was one of deep guilt; it was one that might have robbed the soldier of the hard-earned fruits of his valour—of his long and meritorious sacrifices for the safety of his country ; the crime for which ho stood con demned would, a few years since, have called for its expia tion by an ignominious death ; he certainly should not stand in the way of the mercy of the Crown, and would forward the recommendation of the Jury to the proper quarter. The Learned Judge concluded by stating that mercy must proceed from other quarters, and that tho painful duty devolved upon him of condemning the pri soner to transportation to such place as her Majesty might direct or appoint for the term of his natural life. LONDON SESSIONS, APRIL 11. Peter Hackett and Henry While, two young gentleraen, of highly respectable connections, were indicted for asszult ing and imprisoning John Newman, Esq., a barrister, ulder the following circumstances. The complainant has save al times appeared before the public courts, in consequence of his wilfully annoying the sister and family of Mr. Waite. Mr. Phillips appeared on behalf of the defendants. The complainant claimed a right, as a barrister, to state his own case previously to giving his evidence. The RECORDER said that the law did not admit of a nan becoming his own advocate, and then putting himself far ward as a witness. Mr. Newman then stated that he was a barrister, De longing to the Court of the Middle Temple. On the 3th of November he was sitting in his chambers in the Temple, and hearing a knock at the door, he answered it, and saw the defendants. Mr. White, whom be had known for six or seven years, stepped forward and said, " Here's a letter you left for my sister ; " and Hackett said, " Now, if any more are sent, I shall give you personal chastisement. as I shall have a right." Prosecutor said "So do," and shut the door. The next day he left the same letter, by drop ping it down the area, unsealed, as he had many previous letters. The REIPORDER—Who did ? Witness—l did, at the house of the defendant, and I also sent a note b! post to Miss White. On the Bth I was at chambers, and + I heard a single knock; my boy opened the door, and the defend ants walked into the room where I was sitting, and White said, " Here are your letters ; will you promise not to send any more ?" I declined answering, and they put them selves in a menacing attitude, and repeated the question. Seeing their intention, I called the boy and told him to get assistance. I was sitting down, and they repeated the question several times, and I at last said I would make no such promise, if they murdered me for refusing, I said I did not know what weapons they had ; and they replied that they had no murderous weapons, and White imme diately struck me a blow on the face with the back of his hnnd. I said "It is cowardly for two to attack one," and Hackett replied he would stand back and see fair play. White again struck me, and I put myself on my defence, but said I would not strike him, but, only ward off the blows. Hackett said, " Now at him again—kick him—pull him out of the corner," which they did, and White struck me over the eye, which was cut, as I suppose, Ity the stone in a finger-ring, and it bled for seven or eight hours. White said, " I don't like to hit him, because he said, Don't strike me.'" Hackett said, " Oh, give it him , " a nd he appeared to be running at me when I ran to the window and cried out " Murder !" Hackett shut down the window, and then ran to the door and said no one should come in. I then ran to the window a second time, and called out" Murder I" and Hackett again shut it, and ran again to the door. I then ran to get the poker to knock him down, but White prevented me, and whilst we were struggling some persons broke open the door and came to my aid. The complainant's eye appeared to be much injured. Mr. C. PHILLIPS cross-examined the complainant, and he admitted that he bad been bound over to keenthe pea ce to Mr. White and his fam ily three timer, and had only been out of Clerkenwell prison a week, having been con fined for three months. He had also be en fined j r ol se . and imprisoned a month for horsewhipping hlr Juror—Do you mean the father o f the White, n. young lady ? Complainant—Yes. (He went into a long detail of pri vate transactions and presumed injustice from Mr. White, which the Court said were irrelevant to the case, and ought not to have been mentioned). Mr. PHILLIPS—Was it not for printing a certain docu ment, a libel against the family, that you were found guilty ? Complainant—Yes ; but I was very much sur prised at it, I assure you. Mr. PHILLIPS—Did you write this letter to one of the servants, after the prohibition of Mr. White ? Com plainant—Yes, I have written that, and many others. Mr. PHILLIPS—How many letters and packets have yea sent to Miss White, and thrown down the area ? Com plainant—They say 500 ; probably I sent 400. Mr. Pilluirs—Yes, here they are (producing several bundles). Complainant—Yes, and many arc very violent ones. Mr, PHILLIPS—How many times did you convey letters to her in church in prayer-books? Complainant—l naver did but once. Mr. PHILLIPS—That was after the prohibition of the father against your seeing or speaking to her ? Com plainant—Yes; I have since Nov. 1836 always acted in defiance of him. Mr. PHILLIPS—Was this the packet of letters the young gentleman took back ?—ComPlainant —Yes. The RECORDER—Arc they reflecting on the family ? Mr. Piroms —They do not know ; they have made up their minds not to open any letters from him. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Independent.)
