Red T 4e VV!, ti t; ;11 r OLD BAILEY, MONDAY, JAN. 20: This morning Join Cashman, Johd"gooper, frilliam Gamble, William Gunnell, and John air ' penter, were arraigned at the har,, charged with ;having, on the 2d of December last, entered the dwelling-house of William Andrew Beckwith, Snow-hill, and stealing therefroM a quantity of fire - arms, consisting of guns, pistols, and other arms, amounting in vislue t 0.2001. and upwards, his. property ; 'When the LOndon Jury being sworn, and the usual forms of the Court being, gone through,. Hooper, on behalf of himself, through the medium of his Solicitor, handed an affidavit to,his Counsel, Mr. Alley, who; with Mr. Cur wood, are for the prisoners. (Mr. Gurney, Mr. Bolland, and air. Reynolds, for the prosecution.) The affidavit stated, that from the short period which lie hAti been in confinement for the present charge, viz, since the night of Thursday last, he had not been able to procure those necessary ,evi dences he otherwise might have done, and there fore prayed the indulgence of the Court, but .this application was rejected, and he was accordingly arraigned with his fellow prisoners. BoLLAND then stated the charge against them, and Mr. GURNEY addressed thc'Jnry very distinctly as to the nature of the various charges against each prisoner. Mr. WilliaM'Andrea, Beckwith was then called and sworn; he deposed, that on the 2d of Decem• ter last he left his home between the hours of 10 and 11 in the morning, and on his return home itt.,tlie afternoon he found the shop windows totally demolished, that a great number of guns, 'fowling pieces, pistols, nod other arms were gone, amount ing to considerably more than 2001. The next witness Was Mr. Beckwith's appren tice boy, John Roberts, who swore, that on the said 2d December, about half -past twelve o'clock, a single.person came into his master's ~ shopiyand that shortly afterwards from 400 to 500 persons. came, when the shop windows were demolished; and that the mob had a colour flying with them ; that it .was supported by Hooper; and that Cash man entered' his master's shop, and took there .from a quantity of fire-arms. That he %vas posi tivp as to the persons of these two prisonets, but tis'io Gunnell, the drayman, who it has been stated broke the witul , ws with abroom-stick, he could not swear to hint. „. The next witness was George Lediard, who stated, that lie resided in, Snow-hill, and that. he saw Wolter' and Cashman acting as already de sCrlhedby the abcive iviinesi; and further, that Las .man frequently, Boring OM short time, the me!) rernainA there, brought out arms to them ; but a to Gunnell, he had not any knowledge of William Griffiths was giving Lie testimony at the time our PAper vent to press. The trial is ex t racted to last till night: 'Mr. Justice PARKE presides. irotson't Trial comes on next.

A.• F} iII.7IILICiNS., (i'llOA A CORRIIS'PoIIDRN : r.] . The late' extraordinary increase of Porter ) not in the quality, but in price, has passed quietly, by, and seems not ,to have attracted any particular attention. That this should have been the case is surprising, particularly as its pressure must be severely felt by the inferior classes of - the community, and by many of the bawlers for Par liamentary:Beform, who as eagerly swallow every bait fop exercising their talents as they do their favouritebeer: _The' , last send. preceding rises of the BreWers 'to the Publicans were each at the rate of As, per barrel, or 15s. per butt. The Pub licans, worthy souls, thought that as the price had been risen- to them .15s. per butt, they could do. MI other than increase it to the customers ISs. per butt !! ! It is notorious that a butt of Beer. contains 108 gallons,' whiclfty the Publicans in creasing in thefiret,instance from eighteen pence to twenty pence per gallon gave them 18s. per butt, and for .which they were only increased by the Brewer 15s. leaving them a clear profit of 3s. on that rise alone. The last rise has also given them the same advantage by now charging twenty-. !go onee per gallon, 50 that the two rises gives them a dear profit (exclusive of any other cause) of Six Shillings per butt. Surely this will attract the notice of some member of the House of Corn mons, who will directly on the Meeting of Par liament propose some rcniedy for this increasing evil. The avidity invariably displayed by the in dustrious Publicans in increasing the price of their Beer forms a surprising contract with their heavy movements in reducing the price. No sooner does the broad cooper, as lie is termed, visit them from the brcwhouse for the first men tioned purpose, than with a quickness only to be compared,to lightning it is carried into execntion. When his 'visit is for the latter purpose, it •is not till after' the Publican's memory Chas been fre quently refreshed by his customers that he thinks any thing of the affair. No ;pretext. has been offered far the late in crease in the price of Beer, and as the war malt duty has ceased it ought to have diminished in stead of being augmented. It would, perhaps, be advisable for the Legislature to enquire whether the increasing evil of raising the price of Beer does not. tend to injure the' health and morals, certainly, of the labouring classes, as it drives them to have recourse to spirits for cheapness. The . pernicious effects of which are so glaring as not to need any remark, together with all the attend .iint-evilittiat invariably follow an indiscriminate use of those ultimately poisoning liquors. The Magistrates have done, in many districts, all that is in their power to remove the evil, and in regu lating public houses, but much remains to do, and w hi c h ca n only be effected by the Legislature. Perhaps it would he advisable to revise the whole of , he Acts of Parliament which govern the ro,_ licans, and place them totally on a different loot ing. They certainly give,support to the revenue by the Licences they are compelled to pay fo , , and which Krems! granted ,to them until they pro. duce their receipts of 'having paid !heir tuxes, and then their privileges only extend from year to year I This should be ameliorated, as many em bark, large stuns, and have only the certainty of one year to enjoy the prospect of a return. This it flat heo:case with other tradesmen, and these.. fore dvsvrves attention, for one min has .an eqoal right ,with his neighbour its having his property protected. N. HAMPDEN CLUa.--At 12 o'clock on Saturday, a meeting of several of the Members composing the Hampden Club was 'held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great fJneen-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the form of a Bill ou the subject of Parliamentary Reform, to be sub mitted in February next, for the approbation of a .Generat. Meeting; in the event of its re ceiving which, will be presented to Parliament forthwith by Sir F. ;notate. The draft of this Bill, which has been prepared, embraces the whole of the popular topics connected with the uestion of Reform in the most detailed arrange. sent, This 'meeting being merely of .a prelimi nary nature, and for the purpose of preparing the Bill, was open only to the Members of the Club. It appears by the returns made at the London Hospital for one week, that .there are now no less titan seven children in it who have been burnt by their dothes catching tire.
