It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Ve nereal Disease; owing to. the unskilfulness •of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con stitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the head, face, and body. thinness in the sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gieets, and nodes on the shin bones, till at length a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues. and a melancholy death nuts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ, ent fun et inns of the body, expelling the grosser hutnours, and in a manner so mild anti imperceptibte as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he well to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before the. disease has made its appearattre it acts as a certain preventative: by moving:the complaint effectually and secretly. Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free, and indis criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but weaken and destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, 'excessive drinking, or any other cause. by which the powers 'et' the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, anti - speedy resturat on tosound and vigorous health. - PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the Certain and• effectual remedy of secondary symptents. venereal eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular affections, !oval and general debility, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs,- depression of spirits, and all diseases arising from an impure state of the blood.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--FRIDAy. The house, at its rising, on motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was ordered to be adjourned till Wednesday next (to-morrow.) Lord J. Itussu.4, ,in answer to questions put by Mr. PLUMPTRE, Sir G. SINCLAIR, and Sir R. PgEL, stated that he •h 4 directed the liberation of " Courtenay" from the lunatic asylum, on the intercession of that individual's father, and, on the assurance that he should be taken care of; that his lordship did not trace any connexion between the riotous pro ceedings and the poor-law, beyond the circumstance that Courtenay availed himself of the feelings raised on that sub ject to incite followers, and that the magistrates had not made any representations to lead him to expect that there might be disturbances, or that the individual in question was engaged in agitating the public mind. Sir G. GREY, in answer to Mr. BROTHER TON'S inquiry, said that the government had not deemed it requisite to send addi tional troops to the West Indies ; that correct accounts of the proceedings iu parliament were sent out; and that the powers possessed by, the executive authorities there, it was considered, would be sufficient to maintain order. . . . . The house then resolved into committee on the municipal corporations (Ireland) bill, 'the clauses and amendments proposed by Sir R. PEar, especially the £lO qualification, with " rating, ; ' were defeated; after which he said he should reserve further amendments till the report. The proceedings on the bill were rather suddenly stopped at ten o'clock, by Lord J. RussELL slating that it would be better to have the bill, as amended, printed. Agreed to, and bill or dered to be further considered o❑ Monday se'nnight. Sir IL PEEL said he would give timely notice of the amend ments he should propose, on the bill being recommitted. The other orders of - the day being disposed of, Mr. F. BARING applied for leave to bring in a bill "for the establishment of a British colony in New Zealand." Sir R. INGLis opposed the measure, and doubted the right of England to establish a colony there. Sir G. GRRY said that the government was not pledged to Support the bill, only to introduce the measure. The house eventually adjourned till Wednesday next. THE THUNDER-STORM OF THURSDAY. (From the Standard 'f Saitirdap.) During the terrific storm which occurred on 't hursday evening, the electric fluid Struck the house, No. 8, Anthony-street, St. George's-in-the-East. The house in question is occupied by Mrs. Goodfellow, a widow lady, and her family, consisting of two daughters and a sun. A young gentleman, Mr. Henry Arundel, who had long been acquainted with Miss Eliza Good fellow, and was paying his addresses to her, was sitting with the young lady and her sister at the first-floor window, and reading the newspaper. A youth the son of the landlord of the Wheat sheaf public-houses opposite, who knew him well, was making some signals in a playfull manner, when be saw a ball of fire descend the leaden spout, and, after striking the ground flew upwards, breaking four squares of glass in the window on the ground floor, and, ascending, entered in a broken form, through a square of glass in the window at which the party were sitting. The whole neighbourhood was shaken, as if an earthquake had taken place, and an immense quantity of smoke was seen to proceed from the first-floor window of Mrs. Goodfellow's house hoarse. Upon proceeding to the apartment in which the party had been sitting one of the young ladies, who had just received an infant child only six months old from Mr. Arundel, and had proceeded to the cupboard in another part of the room, was knocked down. Mr. Arundel was found struck to the ground, and his clothes on fire. Miss Eliza Goodfellow, with great presence of mind, immediately wrapped him up in a carpet, and the fire was quickly extinguished. The unfortunate gen tleman exclaimed, "Eliza, pray for me. lam killed." It Was found that he had been severely injured by the lightning. His, coat, waistcoat, shirt, trowsers, and even his flannel shirt, were all burned to a cinder on the right side, and his flesh much scorched and injured. The lower extremities were seared and blackened. He was exposed to the whole force of the electric fluid, which struck him on the breast, and forced him from his chair. The lightning - descended to his feet, and his boots were singed and torn *0 pieces. The child was not much injured, and the two females were not hurt, but were greatly alarmed. The fluid was thrown to the farthest part of the room, the car pet torn up, arid the furniture and the wainscot partially injured. Mrs. Goodfellow, who was entering her room at the moment, saw a ball of fire dart past her, and fly out of the back window. The effect upon her was the loss of vision for some minutes. A number of medical men were prompt in their attendance, and the best assistance was given to the sufferer, who was in great danger, and very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Opon examining the premises it was found that the brickwork of - the chimney had been dislodged, and the leaden pipes were broken at the top, but not melted, which, however, hqd taken place lower down. This was thought a very curious circumstance. A small plate of iron let into the stone under the parlour-window was broken in two. The electric fluid had passed through the iron-grating into the cellar, where it broke down some brickwork, and finally buried itself in the earth. The empty butts-and woortinthevard of theWheatsheaf public-house wereoverthrown, and the pots loosened. During the storm an elderly woman was killed in Shadwell by the lightning. In Albion-street, Itother hithe, a house was unroofed during the storm. A man, who was sitting in the middle of a room, was rendered insensible by the electric fluid, and several minutes elapsed before he recovered from the fit. A house in the brick-field, Hot herhil he, was dama ged by the lightning. The windmill in Lambeth, was also struck by the lightning, but we believe has not sustained any material damage. There was another storm of thunder, lig,htnibg, and rain yesterday afternoon, but not so bad as the others. Novnt. CHALLENGE.—The, landlord of the Packet Coln= mercial Inn, Manningtree, .Mr. John Stark, offers to play a game at Cricket, himself and dog against any two gentlemen in Egsex, for any suns that may be agreed on, and at the short est notice. SERIOUS CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CASIIIER.—A case of embezzlement came to light yesterday which has excited considerable interest. The person upon whom the delinquency is charged is Mr. Peel, the cashier to the Bank of Manchester. No suspicion had been entertained towards him, by any of the Managers of the establishment, until Thursday morning, when he was called upon to balance his cash ; but, after poring over the books for some time, instead of doing so, he abruptly left the lank. It appears, that when he should have balanced his books on the previous Thursday, he remained at home, and pleaded indisposition as the cause of his absence. He went again to the bank as usual on Friday (balancing day being over), and attended regularly until Thursday, when he was again requested to straighten his books, but, as we have already stated, left the bank. One of the clerks was despatched after him, and he then said he was some money deficient, but would procure it, and snake all right. He did not, however, return , that day, and yesterday niorniag, about eight o'clock, his coat was sent for to the bank. About ten o'clock, his continued absence occasioned the manager some uneasiness and he des patched a messenger to his house, in Plymouth Grove, to make inquiries, when it was ascertained that he bad left home about one o'clock on horseback, and Mrs. Peel stated that he had gone to Bolton, to procure from her father the amount of money in Which be was deficient. Subsequently Beswick, the head beadle, and one of the clerks went to Liverpool, to ascertain whether he had attempted to escape front the country by any of the vessels bound outwards. They went on board all the vessels that were entered to sail last night or this morning, ex amined all the entries at the various offices, and saw all the passengers, but it did not appear that he had even reached Li verpool ; and in all probability lie is concealed somewhere in this town or neighbourhood. A search has been instituted i❑ Bolton, but without success. There are various reports as to the amount of money in which he has defrauded the bank, and at present it is believed to be about £900; but until the exami nation of the books is completed, of course this cannot be ac curately ascertained.—Manchester Courier. FATAL RIOT NEAR CANTERBUitY ( From the Tin-es al Friday.) Intelligence of this serious riot reached us at a late hoar. The .accounts cutting from variutys persons, of course vary tit sortie particulars; and we have thought it best, in the impossibility of judging which is the most correct, to give them all. But, though there may be a diserepancv in some of the details, of the main fact of the riot, and of the death of the military ullicer and constable, as well as that of the insane instigator of the mob, there can be no doubt. (PROSI A CORRESPONDENT,) It will be recollected that a person representing himself as Sir William Courtenay was tried at Maidstone assizes some years since fur perjury. He was found guilty, and sentenced to seven years' transportation; but some doubts having after wards arisen as to his sanity, the sentence was commuted to confinement in the Lunatic Asylum at Banning-heath, where he remained about three years. Subsequently it was thought that he might with safety be liberated, since when he has been living with Mr. Francis at Boughton, until within a week ago, when he left that gentleman's residence, and for the last few days has been living amongst the peasantry, gaining subsist ence at several houses, in return for which he made long and inflammatory speeches to the mob of the neighbourhood, and promised them that it' they would follow his advice they should have good living and large estates, as he had great influence at Court, and was to sit on her Majesty's right hand on the day of the coronation. These harangues rendered him very popu- • lar, and he summoned a large assembly to meet him on Wed nesday at Blean-wood, about four miles from Canterbury. This came to the ears of the local magistrates, and yesterday morn ing the Rev. Dr. Poore, of Sittingbourne, and Gen. Gosling, of Ospringe, sent three constables to notice the 'proceedings, and if necessary to arrest Courtenay. On their .arrival they found an assemblage of about lOU people under great excite= merit, when one of the constables, named Myers, went up with the intention of arresting Courtenay, but the latter immediately fired a pistol at him (the ball of which entered the back of the unfortunate man), and he immediately after stabbed his victim with a dagger, which caused immediate death. The two other constables, seeing that it would he madnesslfor them to interfere against so large a gang, immediately rode hack to the magis trates and mentioned the facts, when a despatch was forwarded to Mr. tlalfurd and Mr. Baldock, of Pettam, requesting them to send a detachment of the 45th Regiment (then stationed in the town) to Bleanwood. The request was immediately com plied with, and two companies were despatched in carriages and vehicles of various descriptions. On their arrival at the scene of bloodshed the magistrates entreated the people to .dis perse, and on their positive refusal the riot act was read. Lieutenant Bennett, by order of the commanding officer, went to where Courtenay was, in order to arrest him, when the latter fired a pistol, and the officer in a moment lay dead at his feet. The soldiers, on seeing their officer fall, immediately attacked Courtenay with their bayonets, and killed him on the spot. This caused a general affray with the mob, who assaulted the military with sticks, &c., and the result wap, that II of the ringleaders were killed, and many were sp4erely wounded, amongst whom we regret to say there were some Canterbury people, who were attracted to the spot by curiosity. Several of the rioters were arrested, and when our informant left Canter bury the gieatest excitement prevailed in the town. (PROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) It will be in the recollection of our readers, that in 1833 an eccentric individual paid a visit to Canterbury, and took up his abode for some time at the Rose Inn. Great interest was excited, and most persons were desirous of ascertaining who this eccen tric character might be. At length an election for member for the city took place, on which occasion the gentleman in ques tion offered himself as a candidate with extraordinary success, in the name of Sir W. H. H. Courtenay. Such were his per suasive powers that persons of all ranks felt an interest in his society; some, however, considered him insane, while others were o a contrary opinion. Eventually Sir William, through advocating the cause of a party of smugglers on the Kentish coast, was indicted for perjury, and was tried at Maidstone be fore Mr. Justice Parke, on Thursday, the 25th of July, 1833. The sentence of the Court was imprisonent and transportation, but Sir William being proved to be insane, his sentence was commuted to confinement in the lunatic asylum at Barming heath. After four years' confinement he was released on bail being given for his future good behaviour. His abode then was at the residence of Mr. Francis, of Fairbrook, in the neigh bourhood of Boughton, near Canterbury. Some recent misun derstanding between Sir William and Mr. Francis's family oc casioned him to remove to a cottage adjoining, occupied by one Wills. Subsequently he was received at a farm-house, called Bossenden-farm, occupied by a person named Culver. From this house appeals to have commenced the horrid affair we are about to narrate—au affair front which it could not be antici pated there would result such a melancholy loss of life. We now proceed to give our readers an account of the proceedings from Monday morning, the day on which several unfortunate men went in public company with and at the command of Sir William. On Monday they sallied forth from the village of Boughton, where they bought bread, and proceeded to Willis's house, near Fairbrook. A loaf was broken asunder and placed on a pole, 'with a rampant lion. Thence they proceeded to Goodnestone, near ; yersham, producing throughout the whole neighbourhood the neatest excitement, and adding to their numbers by the h• es occasionally delivered by the ill-fated madman. At this farm Courtenay stated that "he would strike the bloody blow." A match was then taken from a bean-stack, which had been introduced by one of the party. They next proceeded to a farm at Herne - 41W, where Courtenay requested the inmates to feed his friends, which request was immediately complied with. 'Their next visit wasat Dargate-common, where Sir William. taking off his shoes, said, " I now stand on my own bottom." By Sir William's request his party went to prayers, and then proceeded to Bossenden-farm, where they supped, and slept in the barn that night (Monday). At three o'clock on Tuesday they left, and proceeded to Sitting bourne to breakfast, where Sir William paid twenty-five shillings ; they then visited Newnham, receiving a similar treat at the-George. After visiting Fasting, Throwley, Seldwich Lees, and Sell ing, and occasionally addressing the populace, holding out to them such inducements as are usually made by persons desirous of creating a disturbance, they halted in a chalk pit to rest, and on Wednesday evening arrived at Culver's farwcalled Bossen den, close to the scene of action. Mr. Curling, haying had some of his men enticed from their work, applied for a warrant for their apprehension. Mears, a constable, in company with his brother, proceeded to the house of Culver, when, on appli cation being made for the men alluded to, Sir William imme diately shot the young man who accompanied his brother in the execution of his duty. Such was the excitement, and the des perate menaces of Sir William and his party, that it became necessary fur the magistrates to interfere to put a stop to the proceedings, by the capture of the ringleader of the party, from whose advice to his followers the most serious consequences were likely to ensue. At 12 o'clock they assembled at a place called the Osier-hed, where every means were resorted to to quell the disturbance, but without success, Sir William defied interruption to his men, and fired on the Rev. Mr. Handly, of Herne-hill, who, with his brother was assisting to take him into custody. They then made their way to Bossen-wood, where they lay in ambush, but as no means appeared to present them selves by which the ringleader could with safety be secured, he being evidently mad and in the possession of loaded fire-arms, threatening to shoot the first man who interfered with him, it became necessary to apply for the assistance of the 45th regi ment, stationed in Canterbury barracks. On the arrival of a detachment of this regiment they proceeded to the wood, where the party were waiting their arrival. A few minutes previous to the attack Sir William loudly hal looed to his companions, supposed for the purpose of getting them prepared for the fight. Sir William, on perceiving his opponents, advanced with the greatest sangfroid and deliberately shot before the men Lieut. Bennett of the regiment. This occasioned a return front the man covering his officer, who immediately advanced and shot Sir William, who fell and died instantly. The excitement at that period, occasioned by each patty losing their commander, caused a desperate attack, which terminated in the death of ten persons, besides the brother of the constable shot in the morn ing, and several others seriously wounded, of some of whom little hopes are entertained of their recovery. The weapons in the hands of the followers of Sir William were chiefly, if not altogether, heavy bludgeons. The following are the names of the killed :-- Sir William Percy Honywood Courtenay, Knight of Malta, Sec., supposed to be John Nicholls Tom, late of Truro, in Cornwall. Lieutenant Bennett, 45th. Edward Wraight, Herne-hill. F. Harvey, Ilerne-bill. E. Brenchett, Dunkirk. W. Burford, Boughton. W. Foster, Herne-hill. Thomas Griggs. W. Wry, Herne-hill. George Catt, constable of Faversham, killed in the execution of his duty. Lieutenant Prendergast, wounded in the head. . Names of persons take❑ prisoners, some seriously wounded, and a few not expected to recover :—Stephen Baker, IL Had low, A. Toad, G. Griggs, W. Willis, E. Wraight, E. Curling, J. Spratt, Sarah Culver. Amongst the magistrates who endeavoured to quell the dis turbance, and who exposed themselves to imminent danger, we would mention the names of Mr. W. H. Baldock, the Rev. Dr. Poore, Mr. R. Halford, Mr, Norton Knatchbull, and the Rev. C. Handley. The following is a copy of a slip of paper, which has been sent to us covered with blood, and having the appearance of being perforated by a ball. It was said to have been found in the breast coat pocket of Sir W. Courtenay. The contents, which are as follow, and the form of which we have preserved, are evidently in the handwriting of a female, whose orthography would justify the conclusion that she is not a person of educa tion. It may, however, lead to the disclosure of important facts connected with the recent proceedings of the deceased. "Isit a delusion ? No, its peace I hear " As vet welcome sweet guest " A passing spiriet softly whispers " Him safe from harm—and when " The loud clash of War's alarm atacks " Him and boasts the tyrants proudly " Round him still his manly heart " Shall know no fear— " Then sink not oh ! my soul nor Yeald to sad despair, the cause is " Great that calls thy Lord away A sinkiog, spiriet and a silint "'liar but ill becomes the child " Who from the bonds of Satann " May go free." A purse was found in the pocket of Sir W. Courtenay by the surgeon who examined the body. It contained a sovereign and three pence. A New Testament was also found o❑ the person of the deceased. (FRONI ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) A serimis disturbance took place yesterday ('Thursday, 31st) at the villa of Dunkirk, distant between four and live miles from Canterbor', which terminated in the death of eight of the rioters (including the leader Courtnay) and two others, one an officer of the 45th regiment, quartered at Canterbury, by name Bennett, anti a private individual of Faversham, who were as sisting the magistrates in suppressing the disturbance. Seven of the rioters are also wounded, as well as one other officer of the 45th regiment, by the name of Pendergrass. The particu lars are briefly these: — A man calling himself Sir William Courtenay, but whose real name is supposed to be Tom or Thom, was in the month of Oc tober last discharged from the Kent Lunatic Asylum, although it was feared that his mind was still unsound. It was repre sented to the Rev. Dr. Poore, one of the magistrates of the count Y, on Tuesday afternoon last, that this man was exciting the lower classes of the community residing at the villa of Dun kirk, Boughton, and the adjoining parishes to breaches of the peace, by assmbling in lar g e numbers, and using violent and inflammatory language; Courtenay representing to them that they were oppressed by the laws in general. but more particu larly by the New Poor Law ; calling upon them to place them selves under his command, and be would insure them not only redress, but plenty and affluence. Nearly tine hundred of the most determined charactet s joined him, amt marched about the various parishes. inviting other labourers and join them This sham Sir William Courtenay, Knight of Malta, King of Jerusalem, /dins Mr. Thom of St. Columb in Cornwall, made his appearance at SittingbouTu9 on Wednesday, May 30, about half-past 6 in the nu.rnint , , accompanied ,by about GO men, twist of them providel wink large sticks, bludgeons, &c. Sir William walked tutu Sutingbourne, but had a horse with him, which was led to advance by one of his followers; he wore a sw rd, and had on a military cloak, and was also coned with a brace of pistols at Its belt. He and his followers cause in quietly; the men had bread and cheese and beer, and he,a glass of sherry, &c., at the Wheatsheaf Inn, which they left about 9 o'clock in the morning as quietly as they came in. Sir William gave as his reason for coming " that they girt tin for a walk, and came purposely to see the Wheatsheal of Sitting bourne, of which they had heard much talk." On their return, they stopped at the gravel pits at Murston ; he asked the men then working there to join him and his company, offering them plenty . of bread and cheese and beer, and a payment on Satur day night ; they were, however, not to be led astray by his unaccountable talk. Onwards he went, and committed many most outrageous enormities. He had drilled the men to march as soldiers. Some had fire-arms, and the others clubs. One was appointed and called their General, and they carried a flag. On Wednesday warrants were issued for the apprehension of Courtenay, and two others who seemed to be leaders. This morning (Thursday), a con stable who bad the warrants, who was personally known to Courtenay, went to expostulate with him, accompanied by his brother, who was not a constable. It is undeYstood there was no intention of executing the warrants, if there were any resistance. When they came to the place where Sir William and his party were encamped, Courtenay came for ward, and asked the brother "if he was the constable ;" ho answered " Yes." (This was not true.) Courtenay immedi ately shot him, wounded him afterwards with his sword, kicked him, and then ordered his men to throw him its a ditch, which they did. Courtenay did not know that warrants were issued for his apprehension, nor were they attempted to be executed. An express was sent to the Rev. Dr. Poore of the circumstance, and the military at Canterbury sent for, it being found imprac ticable to subdue them without their aid. A major and about EX) men of the 45!h Foot arrived, when the Rev. Dr. Poore, Mr. N. Knatchbull, Mr. Halford, and Mr. Baldock, county magistrates, accompanied the military. They were divided into two parties, in consequence of the rioters having moved to a large wood. That part of the military accompanied by the Rev. Dr. Poore and Mt. N. Kuatchbull came up to the rioters, who bore down upon the military, Courtenay calling upon them to behave like men. The military having approached, Cour tenay shot Captain Bennett, who instantly expired, and the soldiers /in self-defence fired upon the band of ruffians; the consequence was, the loss of life already described. Seven rioters, who were wounded, were taken prisoners, and three not wounded were likewise committed to St. Augusttne's gaol for trial at the next sessions. Inquests will be held on the dead bodies this day. We give a short account, compiled at a very short notice, of thin wretched madman. "Sir Jourtenay first appeared at Canterbury in the Mi chaelmas of the year 1832; and the first rumour was that an eccentric character was living. at the Hose Inn, who passed under the name of Count Rothschild, but had been recently known in London by the name of Thompson. His countenance and costume denoted foreign extraction, while his fan wage and conversation showed that he was well acquainted with al most every part of the kingdom. He often decked his person with a fine suit of Italian clothing, and sometimes with the more gay and imposing costume of the eastern nations. In Decem ber of the same year he surprised the citizens of Canterbury by proposing himself as a candidate for the representation of the city in parliament, and created an entertaining contest for the honour lo9mafter the sitting candidates had composed themselves to the deliP,litfnl vision of an unexpensive and unopposed re turn. He was also a candidate for the eastern division of this county, but polled only four votes, the county voters having derived a lesson of wisdom from the sad effects of his former freaks and follies. After striving in vain to possess himself of a seat in parliament, at least a return of having been elected for one, this crafty adventurer appears to have studied with much more ardour and vigilance than before to captivate the affections of the lower orders in the city. He made it known that his condescension was as great as his rank and wealth, and that he should be willing to accept of invitations to visit the humblest families—to eat and drink at the peasant's and the labourer's table—to make one of a larger or smaller party at the lowest public-house—to enrol his name in the meanest society, and to have it published abroad that Sir William Courtenay preferred being the companion of the cottager and the friend of the poor. It is easy to conclude that such intelligence charmed a million hearts, anti obtained entreaties for his company from every quarter. So numerous were his engagements, that he was °blitzed to run or ride from house to house, taking a slight repast at each, and generally concluding the day a '7a banquet prepared by a number of his new friends in some ,%scure club room. "In the month of February an action took place between His Majesty's sloop Lively, a revenue cruiser, and a smuggling boat called the Admiral Hood, near the Goodwin Sands, which ended in the capture of the latter, which, with the crew, was taken to Rochester for adjudication. On boarding the smuggler no contraband goods were found ; but, during the chase, she had been distinctly seen by the Lively throwing tubs overboard, and some of them were marked and picked-up by the crew of the cruiser. On the examination of the smugglers before the magistrates at Rochester Sir William Courtenay made his ap pearance, attired in a grotesque costume, and having a small cimetar suspended from his neck by a massive gold chain. On one of the men being examined Sir William became his advo cate; but the man being convicted, a professional gentleman from London defended the next, and Sir William presented himself as a witness; when he swore that he saw the whole transaction between the Lively and the Admiral Hood, and was positive that the tubs, stated to have come from the Admiral Hood, had been floating about in the sea all the morning, and were not thrown overboard from that vessel. The object of this statement was evidently to prove that the Admiral Hood was not a smuggler, and consequently to procure the liberation of the men. The solicitors for the Customs, having undoubted evidence that this testimony was false, determined to proceed against an individual who had been guilty of such a public and daring act of perjury. The trial came on at Maidstone before Mr. Justice James Parke on the 25th of July, 1833, when he was found guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and sentenced to imprisonment in gaol for three calendar months, and at the expiration of that term to be transported to such place beyond the seas as His Majesty, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, should direct, for the term of seven years. Before, however, the three months' imprisonment had expired, it was found that Sir William was completely out of his senses ; the sentence appears to have been annulled, and he was sent to the Kent Lunatic Asylum at Banning, where he has been confined until a few months since. When released from the Lunatic Asylum, he took up his abode either at Herne-hill or Boughton, where by pecuniary offers he has gained many followers, and has carried on one freak or another until the above melancholy catastrophe has occurred. FURTHER PARTICULARS. FROM THE TIMES OF SATURDAY. Canterbury, Friday Evening. I send you herewith a report of the inquest held this day at the White Horse, a public-house, in Boughton, on the body of Nicholas Mears. It terminated, as you will see, in a verdict of wilful murder against sundry of the rioters. It appears from all that I have heard, that the rioters fought with the most despe rate courage, and that had their weapons been at all equal to those of their antagonists the struggle would not have been so ea y decided. Thg rushed on the bayonets of the soldiery with the rage of fats; and this will not surprise you wheni inform you that this Courtenay or Tom had represented himself to them not only as a political but also as a religious reformer. H e blasphemously styled himself the Saviour of the world, and to convince his followers that he was so, pointed to certain punc tures in his hands as those inflicted by the nails of the cross, and to a cicatrice in his side as the wound out of which issued blood and water. He also represented himself as invulnerable to steel or shot; and so completely has . he deluded numbers in this neighbourhood into the belief of his monstrous lies that they even now fancy that though he appears dead he will rise again on the third day, and lead his followers on to victory. lam re luctant to believe such pitiable ignorance; but whilst I am wri ting, 1 have received information of a fact which staggers even my incredulity. A woman of the name of Culver was told by this impostor, that if she got some water and placed it on his mouth in case he was shot, he would shortly revive. On hear ing of his death, the woman filled a vessel with water, walked half-a-mile with it, and in compliance with his instructions, placed it on his lips. She was apprehended soon afterwards by order of the magistrates, who imagine that her evidence will lead to the arrest of more of the rioters. The village of Boughton, near which these lamentable oc currences took place, and at which the inquest has been held, has been filled with visitors (luring the day. The inquest-room was crowded, and great numbers went to see the bodies, which were lying in the neighbourhood. In a shed near the Red Lion, at Boughton-under-Blean, which is two miles nearer to Canterbury, were placed the body of this Courtenay or Trom, and of the six poor wretches whom he has betrayed to so miserable an end. When I was at the place Courtenav's body had been removed to the Red Lion itself, and was undergoing medical examination. The other bodies, however, were lying cold and stark on the straw. They were evidently all common labourers in agriculture, with one exception—that of a man who was shot through the heart, and in whose breast the perforation of the bullet was distinctly visi ble. The eyes of all wet wide open, and the glare of them from being stripped of all intelligence was horribly frightful. One only was killed by the bayonet Judging from their looks, 1 should say that the men were all above 40 years of age. I have already said that Courtenay's body I did not see ; but 1 am informed that it exhibits great and even extraordinary mus cular powers. His stature was tall—his form symmetrical, and his features expressive. He wore a great mass of hair, and allowed his beard to grow to a most preposterous length. Since his death his head has been shaved, for the purpose of allowing a plaister cast to be taken of his face; and I have heard, such is the veneration in which numbers here bold him, that various sums of money have been offered to obtain a lock of his hair, and a fragment of the blood-stained shirt iu which he died. The women, with whom he was a prodigious favourite, seek these relics with the greatest avidity, and are described as receiving there with the must enthusiastic devotion. same public-house during the day.

As he fell, however, he inflicted a severe wound on one of the rioters. ree thereunders notion that tle an The village of Boughton formed this day an extraordinary contrast to the general appearance of a quiet English village, anA ceoanrilpya hourny of i th e a th4e morning, g l as t n were was armsotne (hero White H attempt t twooruseld.

The last party left the village at seven o'clock. It has already been stated that, besides Courtenay, seven rioters were killed by the fire of the soldiery; seven others were also wounded. Two of these men, I, ant informed, are now dying. The village of Dun/4irk, from which most of them came, labours un d er a worst disgraceful reputation. The men ate said to be most of them poachers, and of the women it is enough to say that they bad their reasons fur making Courtenay their favourite. At ,even o'clock, the soldiery were withdrawn from Boughton. They left it in a stage-coach and two vans, which were loaded inside and out. As soon as they reached the Red Lion, they were ordered to discharge their rous4tets one by one, and 1 jUNE 5 , 183 g. mention this merely to prevent its being supposed that this ir regular tiring was occasiuued by any recurrence of riot. I have already mentioned the desperate frenzy with which these deluded wretches fought. One of them, who was made prisoner, was asked how it was that he had the boldness to re sist the military. His reply was, " that he had no fear • that he cared not fur the numbers of the sol die r s ; t h at he felt that • he was, like his leader, invulnerable; and that he just went on to the fight like a bulldog." As a pendant to this anecdote, which 1 have introduced rather out of place, I will mention another, which shows the coolness of these desperadoes. After Courtenav had fallen, one of the rioters, the only one who bad a gun, was seen taking a cool aim at Major Arm strong, but, before he could pull the trigger, a fortunate shot laid him as dead as his redoubled leader. In souse of the journals it is stated that Capt. Montgomrnery, of the 45th, was killed in the melds. 1 am requested to state that that officer was not present at the affray, and is now alive and well in his quarters at Canterbury. The general feeling to-day was that the evidence adduced on this inquest is a complete vindication of the conduct of the magistrates in calling out the military. (eirom THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE MORNING HERALD.) On our arriving at the field of slaughter, we were shocked at beholding eight poor fellows who had been shot dead, and four other poor wretches in the greatest agony, smarting tinder wounds from musket balls. Sir W. Courtenay was bleeding fast from his wounds, and on touching his handlis fingers were still trembling, and the working of the muscles was very visible, whilst his poor unfortunate followers were the most dejected set of persons imaginable; two old men had scarcely a tooth in their h ea d s , an d were shocking to behold. Among the dead was George Gott, constable of Feversbam, keeper of a beer shop, called the "Good Intent," of that place. It appears this poor man had been sworn a special constable, and was endea vouring to gAthe party to surrender when he received the fatal wound ; a Mts passed through his head. Close to Courtenay lay a man named Thomas Forster, a labouring man of the Til lt(ahage p e soo o ol f rd iuenrsro,rat Boughton, unnda twe e: d gs pr a l r ) s e vwi whooeus stiloayoddh walked besidee heard rd totfhr from mx c l o ) r r epssse Canterbury l a r s w d i a s e h g o b ( t i r r that "her her soldier was not kill e d," came t o v i ew th e d ea d bodies,tat when she beheld her own father lying dead by the side o f C , ..urtenay; the scene was. shocking to behold. Courtenay was dressed in kerseymere breeches, with high overalls, thick shoes, and a n ee k erc hi e f l oose ly ti e d round his neck. - Lieutenant Prendergast received a severe blow on the head,- and one on the arm, and another on the side ; but we are hale to state is doing well. Lieutenant Bennett, whom Courtenay shot, is a single man' 'Phis morning a bag, containing 300 bullets, was found in the wood where Courtenay and his party were, together with his cloak. A person of the name of Grrivgs, of Boughton-street, died lest night of his wounds, after reaching home but half an hour. During the progress of the inquiry this morning, the forema ir of the jury said ►t was the wish of the jury for the men to be brought into the jury-room, when seventeen prisoners were brought in, most,of them being strong, robust agricultural le" bourers ; they were under an escort of the 45th regiment. Th e ' prisoners from Canterbury arrived at the same time. Price was recognised, Ford and Tyler were both recognised , and were dreadfully wounded, and i'n• a distressed state floe) loss of blood; two females were also in custody.. THE MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN WATERLOO-ROAD. (From the Standard of Saturday.) - . A singularly-looking middle-aged man was brought before' Messrs. Not ton and Hardwick, at Lambeth-street, yesterdays by police-constable George Leaman, under the following cir cumstances : It appeared that the prisoner, who gave his name as John' Owen, and described himself as a jobbing cooper, residing at No. 5, Cottage-place, Granby-street, Waterloo-road, entered the shop of Mr. Clayton, a tailor and draper, 11, I.Vellington" - terrace, and made a lengthened communication relative to the murder of the young woman Grimwood, and on being asked by Mr. Clayton why he did not attend before the coroner to com municate the circumstance, his reply vvi.,s that he had a strong objection to take an oath, which he would be obliged to do if he went before a coroner. Mr. Clayton (who is one of the jurors swots in the case), considering the declaration of the prisoner to be of importance in the mysterious case, gave directions to his young man, on his leaving the shop, to follow and watch his movements_ The young man did so, and the prisoner, in the midst of the heavy rain, proceeded through various streets un - " til he reached Rosemary-lane, where he purchased a sheet of paper in a stationer's shop, and then entered a coffee-shop there: The young man, who had followed him at this time, communi cated the circumstance to Leaman the policeman, and it wag arranged that the young man should enter the coffee-shop and watch the prisoner's ruanceuvrea. He did so, and finding that he had written a letter and sealed and addressed it, he returned to- the policeman, and through the window he could perceive the' letter he had written was directed "'l'o either Mr. Grimwood or Mr. Best, IA Wellington-terrace, Waterloo-road, Lam beth." Leaman instantly entered the house and demanded the letter from him.. The prisoner, after some hesitation, gave it up, and appearing much confused at the time, the officer told him he should attend before a magistrate. The letter was handed to the bench, and was as follows : "eune I, half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. "Gentletnen,—A friend of mine this morning has made to' me a disclosure, in a particular way, that will, I have no doubt, lead to the detection of the villain that committed the atrocious murder. The man he suspects is a good-looking man, with dark or large whiskers, thin made, nearly about six feet. You will excuse me from writing his rrame or address for many rea sons. He is by profession a Baptist and a member of absti nence. He is considered by many a most singular character- - a man that has been well educated; formerly, in his first wife's time, in great prosperity ; is now in great poverty and distress of mind from two wicked, rebellions children. I dare not, on any account, give you his name, but he lives not far from , Granby-street, Waterloo-road; is by trade a coo p er ; served his time to Mr. George Davis, cooper, of Limehouse; was bound ca n talk several in the al languages; ahist Copper's fatherw as hall rn nearlyth e rm year yearslsoo pder at yon Strand ; is well known to [Here follow the name s of severa l individuals, to whom the write r alle g es he is known. ) He wou ld suffer anything, I believe; y ea, die sooner than tak e an oath . o ; (Addressed " To either Mr. Grimwood or Mr. Best, 12, Wellington-terrace, Waterloo-road, Lambeth." George Grant, assistant to Mr. Clayton, detailed at some length, and with much clearness, the particulars of the conver sation of the prisoner at his master's shop, as well as his con duct afterward", and until brought to this office. He said that on his way from the Waterloo-road to Rosemary-lane the pri soner kept continually looking after him, and, as he thought. went some distance out of his direct course. He also seemed very much confused on the policeman making his appearance in the coffee-shop, and appeared to have much reluctance in giving up the letter- Mr. Norton here asked the witness if he had observed any' se b hn e el l i yl e t ey thingr e rii t gn h h a st t o in jwn h he was ip w ieslh a am s c iei n nn o udd t nuw o tel f .ael sd s : sound sw m oat ovl i ke n tir d nh : gi n a qk n u d it the h a e lte hi repliedleisurely rw e al ys li t h ho at o t otgh per fectlybe the streets whil e th e ra i n camedown in torrents, and not taking The prisoner, after receivinga caution from Mr-Norton, who told him that the charge against-him was of a very suspicious , and might turn out of a serious character, and therefore he was not bound to say anything that was likely to criminate himself, as everything he should say would be taken down, and might be used against him hereafter, replied that he would tell the whole truth of the matter as far as he knew, and added that some persons might consider him insane, but this he could assure the bench was not the case, though he would admit that, he was somewhat distressed in mind, owing to the conduct of two Of his children. He then proceeded to say that on Friday night, or rather Saturday morning, being disturbed in his mind , and unable to sleep he got out of bed, and considering that a walk would do him some good, he dressed himself, got into the street, and walked towards Waterloo-bridge. While passing along Wellington-terrace, he saw a man standing at a door with light pantaloons or drawers on, a clean shirt, with the sleeves tucked up to the elbows, and some blood on his hands. As he approached the man he saw him place his hands t o gether,' and raising them up, exclaim, " Oh, Oh! I have done the de ed, how shall I acquit myself of it?" and on his perceiving him (prisoner) he stepped inside, and shut the door softly. He (the prisoner) at the time thought it odd, and in consequence went up to the door, placed his ear close to it for some time, but find ing all perfectly still inside, he, after three or four minutes+ proceeded as far as the bridge, and on his return again listened at the same door, when not the least noise was perceptible; be then let himself in by a string which he had fastened to a latch and went to bed, and asked his children if they had heard him go out, and they replied they did not. Mr. Norton.--When did you fir s t b ear o f tbder of the lild young woman?—Prisoner : lam not s u re wh e, was SDP day or Monday morning that I read a b ou t it, I heard °" good deal of talk about it.

Prisoner then said, that though he bad not put his n a _ ip b e , or address to the letter he had stated quite sufficient to', .„ found, as there was no other Cooper in the neighbourhood Du:: himself. In reply to a question from the magistrate, thiePurri_ soner said ther e w as a respectable tradesman in the De r ig h o sen t hood w h o h a d k nown him for many years, and, on being sea he att en d e d an d corroborated the prisoner, as to his knowoo inv him in the w a y of business, and added that he always sidered hi m a steady and sober man.
