THE KING r. IPASiINC:HAM AND EcwAßni.

The Defendants in this case, who wet', convined
of a conspiracy against William If. F irrever, Esq.
the sittings after last Hilary Term, of which we
have given a report in a farmer Paper, were or-
dered, early in last Term, to come up fur judgment
this day. The Defendant Edwards accordingly at-
tended in custody; but, in consequence of the non-
attendance of the other Defendant, the cause was
not called on ; but, we under.tand, stands over for
a future day.

—,eers, amounting to eaei, log,
marched to the East India Company's ground to
receive their colours. At three o'clock the Lord
Mayor, who was to present them, arrived on the
ground in his carriage, with the eolouri. Prepara-
tions had been made upon a liberal scale, to give
eclat to ti:e ceremony; but a continued and heavy
rain prevented the consecration, and other striking
parts cf the speaacle, from being executed out of
doors. An elegant tent had been eretclod, with ta-
bles laid out with refreshments for his Lordship and
company. From the wetness of the day, the cere-
mony was performed in it. His Lordship deliver.
ed the colours to Col. Wilson, with a spirited and
patriotic address, to which the Colonel made 212
appropriate answer; then, turning to the En•
signs, he made a short speech, and delivering the
Colours, they received them from him kneeling.
The Corps then drew up in front of the tent,
the band playing, " God ssvc she Kist," and the
officers and men gave his Lordship three cheers
They afterwards went through a variety of evolu-
tions with great correctness. At half-past four, his
Lordship left the ground ; and the corps proceeded
to Canonbury House, where an elegant dinner was
provided for them, and they spent a pleasant even-
ing. The colours are very beautiful ; one is red
and white. with the crown and G. N• in gold. The
other Is blue, with tho crown in gold and Lturisl
leaves,. with the initials C. 11. V.
