however, to the sale. another attorney was employed, and his charge

Mr. Fauntleroy was visited in the evening by Mr. tortes
and Mr. Mayhew, who took leave of him, and then his

down in his dressing gown for a short time, but before he
did so, he requested that his friend would not stay away
from him any length of time, but that he would return and
join hint in prayer. Mr. Springett did not leave him for
more than a quarter of an hour during the night, which
was spent by both of them in prayer. Neither of them

This day, Johnson, the notorious informer, with Byers, bilter
known by the nave of " Itiblemouth," in coosequenee of his bps
having become nearly sktletonized from his fregrency of " !down*
the book," entered this *et: in a new gig and bursts, having, it 1111
presumed, got rill of the old chaise-cart and brown horse.
The object of their visit was of a twofold nature—lirst, for the
benefit of the country air i and secondly, to make others pay for u.
Informations had been previously lodged against sonic proprietors
and drivers of coaches. The lir.t case called on was one agauist
Eperson of the name of Juices Purdy, driver of files. Nelson's
merald,Buh coach.: . . . .

The defendant pleaded in atAtement, that the Christian name :❑
the informations varied materially from that by which he was chris-
tened and recognized through life. This being satisfactonly
bit:died, Johnson observed, that Mrs. Nelson's son gave hint the
name. The Magistrates, however, could afford him Lo rcl d, a:..t
the information was accordingly quashed.
The next case was that against Mr. Winter, the driver of the
31ountaiiicer coach. . . . .

In this case it appeared that the prisoner had only ten outs le
passengers, but that a child, in a bad state or health, war La, ep
on the way, for the purpose of giving it air for a few miles.

fIUILLPHALit.
Mr. William Robson, a lity.salesman in Smithfield wilellet4
appeared yesterday before Sir lic ore*, eat.- to emus W
an information charging him with having sold a laid of Nom

defiriewt in weight. An information fur Mt same draw ante me
for hefting last week, but wall then quashed, the Immingham
*4O stated to be hay, while the evidence proved it te be dower. •
I.EI, the Solicitor for the curoplainant,new termed it dove-
hay, at.d no objection was taken to that definition.
From the evidence it appeared, that Mr. Atkins, a mt.-keeper
in Rupert street, Goodman 's-fields, bought the load of doves of
Mr. Robson, in Smithfield market, on the 4th instant, and upon its
being sent biome, weighed a erase or two, sad dedieg than Besse trl
the prescribed weight, seat for the clerk of Smithfield market, to
conic and perform his duty as hay-weigher. This, however, ho
refused to do till he had dined, and Mr. Atkins, in eseetiquencr,
thought it best to avail himself of the option given him by Me
statute, by calling in the assistance of the deputy-clerk of Whitt-
chape: market, who ascertained that there war an excess of mba. in
I four trusses that three were of the proper vfeW; and drat the re-
maining twente-nine were from 110. to 'Abe. .1; and the wtokr

Mr. Robson said, it was Impossible for Wenn= to weigh all
the hay and straw sent to them for sale. If be were convicted, and
paid the penalty to-clay, he would ultimately retover every farthing
from the fanner far whom he sold the hay, and wbe war 'done
blameable. Ile however thought, that, considering the lots of
weight that might occur from change of weather and handling,
this was not a case which called for the infliction of the highest
penalty, as the average deficiency was only something better than

Omit men, in any way, always attract • anal Englishmen are good
models in most ways. Langan, one of models, did, for hie
friend Reynolds, draw a crowded court. The talent of Reynolds,
annher Irishman, who will giveaway six pounds to any man is Oir

opposition to a learned Judge's address upon a late occasion,
Dukes, Lords, some of the best of the gallant commanders at the'
memorable battle of Waterloo, were present, )I. P.'s were in
the retail line, and country get tlemen were scarcely noticed. This
assemblage was an honourable tribute to gymnastics. The great
treat was the set-to between Langan and Itcyr.olda, and it sauteed'
much amusement, and wan called for again. Reynolds was shaken
enough by his repeated (acorn 'nth a star of Willowy liko

The seta.to, previously and anbsequently to this, were mere

them ; ole or two raxtrauttrd lameness, and the others were cot-
raised lest Spring or Langan should mouut the stage. The Joha

COOKING BY STEAM AND HOT AIR.

QLATEK'S improved PATENT STEAM KITCHEN
►77 for Cooking in the most complete and economical manner,
covibines the advantages of an open fire place for roasting, &c.
affording a constant supply of boiling rater, and is capable, if re-
quired, of warning vapour or water baths, rooms, dressers, &c. at
a distance of one hundred feet or more. . _ _

The Steam Kitchen for ships' use is on the same principle, but
made portable, and so arranged, that during the process of Cook-
ing, four -imam per hour of pure freshwater is produced by distil-
lation from that of the sea, and eight quarts per hour during the
suspension of that operation, thereby securing, in case of need,
ninety-Mx gallons in the forty-eight hours, with a certain saving of
one-half the fuel necessary for the use of any other kind of ap-
paratus.
The simplicity and uniform arrangement of the whole, without
being liable to be out of repair, together with the exclusion of every
kind of inconvenience arising from badly-tinned coppers, excessive
heat, or disagreeable smell, are advantages obvious to every one.
The Patentee's former Steam Kitchen and Roaster, with recent
improvements (anal of which more than five thousand families ex-
perience the advantages), continue to meet with general approba-

BAYONNE NEWS.

Accounts from Madrid of the 25th ult. reached us decree relative
via
Bayonne. They state that the King has signed a decree relative
to the Customs, deo which is, in many respects, interesting. The
Junta charged with the task of drawing up the Tariff* created by a
Decree of the 13th April, 1816, is to meet for the following pot.
postai—To draw up a Tarif of Duties and Regulations for the
administration of the Custom-houses in Spain and the Indies to
draw up an Ordonnance for the Consulates in Spain and in foreign
ports to rectify the regulations of the Depots of Communes in the
Peninsula ; to make a report on some Commercial Conventions
with foreign Powers, particukrly since the treaty of Utrecht ; to
pm pose • law on the Corn Trade, &c.
The Corregidor of Guipusqoa has applied to know whether the
judicial proceedings terminated, and those begun befae the Tau-
nolo of the First Instance, during the three years, are vial ; and
if the //winker, who have been nominated during the pretended
Constitutional Government must have their title confirmed ? His
Majesty has decided in the affirmative, only excepting the
criminal sentences passed against those who have defended his
rights.
Bessieres has obtained only the rank of Colonel ; the Ministry
will not allow him that of General, which he had assumed. Com-
plaints are received from all quarters against tl,is General, who Is
said to have levied enormous contributions. It is said that thefts,
of the Government is, to make those officers retrograde who hire
recompenced themselves by too rapid a promotion. Thus Sear
perre would become again Captain Major Dorm of the Marquis de
Mirabelli' ; Charnbon would obtain a subaltern rank, itc. As for
Adame, surnamed Le bock), whobecamea Lieutenant-General be
knew not how, because the chances of war had put the baggage of
a General Officer of the Constitutional army in his hand., he does
not wish for military rank, but solicits • pension, which it is pro-
bable he will obtain.

Till the general law relative to the corn trade is ready for publics.
Lion, his Illajosty has decreed that, for the present, the importation
of foreign grain, flour, and pulse into the Peninsula, shall be pro.
hibited ; they may be imported into the Balearic and Canary
Islands, and under all flags, without distinction. Wheat to pay

PORTUGAL.

Lisbon journals to the 25th ult. came to hand yester•
day :

Lissofr, Fes. 23.
We have received the following by to-day's post :--
" Demure), Fen. 20.-By • letter from Valenta of the 18th, it
appears that place and province were in general tranquil, so that
the reports which were spread some time ago were unfounded.
The newsmongen endeavour every moment to spread news of their
own making, and make a mystery of the most trifling circumstances.
The same -letter says, there had arrived at Vigo a vessel from
Portuguese America, bound to llavre de Grace, having on beard
above twenty passengers of both sexes, among whom were the
Bonifaciea, who were Deputies at Rio de Janeiro; that the vessel
was under quarantine, and detained by the Governor for having
entered under the flag of Brazil, which we do not recognize; foe
which reason he had given notice to his Catholic Majesty, and ex.
petted a decision on the subject."
Ltssox, Frs. 23.
_ .

The Casette contains long extracts frets the debates in the Bri-
tish Parliament. It observes upon them that " it is particularly
flattering to the Portuguese nation, that while the Ministerial
speakers allowed that it was impossible the late order of things
could take root in Spain, from the decided aversion that nation and
the whole Peninsula felt to those odious innovations, the Opposi-
tion did not peas any censure on the happy restoration of his Most
Faithful Majesty, because it was punch y a national work. tem-
pered by the prudence of his Majesty, and followed by bis firm and
just, but moderate and merciful Goverment.
" Neither the :English Radicals iNtys tie Gazette), rot the
admirers of the revolution in Ain:Tice, can place the question of
the independence of Brazil, and that of the Spanish Colonies, on
the same footing, the two cases being widely dlfterent ; that the
British Government is much more bound to Portugal by treaties
than it is to Spain ; that the revolution in Brazil is the work de
small number of persons, and that Great Brintin has a pars-
mount interest in maintaining the rights of its ancient and faithful
a11y.,•

should any Power join with Spain fur that purpose, and afford it
assistance in it, either by actual armaments or by subsidies or pe-

has hitherto followed, and will hasten to recognise the new Govern-
ments which have established themselves in the other hemisphere
