The KING was detained by contrary winds at
Milford Haven up to ten o'clock oil, Monday
night. It appeared to be his MAJESTY'S wish to
cont his voyage round the bind's Had, and up
the Chrome' to Porrsotooth or Brighton, but it is
rely probable that the melevourable state of the
weather has oblige el hem to abandon that intention.

returned a verdict of M A NSLAUGIITER against all
the officers well pravates of the life guards who
we re on duty at Combeeland.gate on the day of
float Y's death. We are glad that this inquiry
has at terminated, even though the king-
meot pronoun( eel by the Coroner's Jury be 515(15
as will probably raise the ereces-ity of having
the evidence retreated before another Jury and
a higher tribunal. It will be observed that the
opinion of thr Jury differed very consonantly from
that which was exprr.s-e.l ant the day before by the
Coroner upon the manner of I loNFli'!I death. The
. Coroner, after revirolog all the circumstances of
the case, as they were detvilrid by the various sail-
.iiesses exuaseued upon the Inquest, concluded by
emphatically decheving that the Jury ought to re-
turn a verdict of JUSTIFI A ELF. HOMICIDE. Tin.
opittion the Coroner formed from the belief that rite
troops were assailed violently by the populace at
Cumberland-gate, before they tiled any finer
to disperse the croon, and consequently long
before the fatal slant was fired ley wheels HONEY
lost Ibis life. In this belief the Jury sense
not to lease concurred with the Cormier, and
undoubtedly the evidence upon this important
point wits surprisingly contradictory, and leaves
-ample scope for entertuirtiog doubts respecting it.

anwise cOmmands, or to attribute to them the
moral guilt of whatever accidents might arise from
their being placed in colli,iou with the people.
We are firmly persuaded. that no troops in the
.•.. .
millsktould, under the painful circumstances that
loaded the day of the Quavers funeral, have dis-
played greater forbearance, temper, or humanity,
thus was evinced by the life guards. It is quite
evident to common sense, that bed they used the
means of attack which they had in their power
with all the effect that necessarily belongs to the
use of them, the consequences to the people must
have been tremendously destructive. There were
however, in fact, but few casualties among the
crowd, while on the part of the soldiers the acci-
dents were very numerous. A soldier is often
placed in very painful and difficult circumstances,
in which he is entitled to a large portion of indul-
gence. The soldier must be considered merely as
the instrument of another's will, and if when acting
under the commands of his officer, or iu a supposed
obedience to the civil power of the Government, he
should not nicely calculate the precise operation of
u penal law, his involuntary crime ought not to be
visited with a disproportionate severity.
Not upon the soldier, therefore, ought the cen-
sure of the public or the penalty of the offended
laws to fall, but upon the real criminals, by whose
authority his actions have been governed. The ver-
diets delivered by the two Julies, inquiring sever-
ally into the circumstances of the deaths of HON Ey
and Faaucts, give very different colourings to the
same transaction. By the one, the troops are de-
clared guilty of wilful sod deliberate Alumna ; by
the other, their offence is represented in a leas bein.
ous light, being stripped of the " malice afore-
thought," the malignity of mind which distin-
guishes murder from MANSLAUGHTER. The pu-
nishment, on conviction, in the one cave is an igno-
minious death ; the puishilimelit in the other ease is
.
fine and imprisonmeirt, at the discretion of thci
Judge, the latter trot exceeding a term of 12 maths.
We kuow not whether any officer or soldier in ihe.4
life guards will be placed -at the bar of the Old'
Bailey in consequence of the verdict in FRANCIS'S
case, hut we would ask any one of those who speak
or write most warmly upon this subject, whetherhe
would he pleased to see any individual of that re-
giment hanged fur the murder of the unfor-
tunate deceased ? IVe should certainly he glad that
some proper means were solopted by Parliament
to titter persons in power from persevering in the
practice which has grown up among us in modern
days, of employing military force on every occa-
sion, however trifling or improper, for overawing
the people; but we should abhor the thoughts of
seeking to obtain this object by the unworthy sa-
crifice of a brave man.

We have received Paris Payers of Sunday last.
It is affirmed in an article of intelligence from
Frankfort, that the Emperor ALEXANDER. true
to the principle which forms the basis of the " Holy
Alliance," has resolved not to adopt any decisive
measure with respect to Turkey, without the pre-
vious consent of his High Allies. His MAJESTY
has, it is said, dispatched special Ambassadors to
the several Powers of Europe, for the purpose of
ascertaining their sentiments respectively, upon the
differences subsiatin between the Cabinets of
Petersburgband Constantinople, and that he means
to await the return of their Ambassadors before he
shall finally determine what course he is to pursue.

The Constitutionnel contains a long article, pur-
porting to be a letter from Calastata, in the Pelo-
ponesus, dated the 3,1 of August. The writer a•-
sures us, that Tripoliza, the chief town of the Pe-
ninsula, has been taken by a Grecian itrany nothr
the command of Prince DENZTRIUS YPSILANTI,
assisted by Prince CANTACUZ6NO ; that the victo-
don, army marched soon after this achievement
against Patrasso, which it has besieged ; and that the
immediate surrender of the town is expected with
confidence. We must own that we have but little
faith in these •Pelopoitesian letters, mod that we
doubt not only the capitate of Tripoliza, but even
the eatietetice of an army under any Chief of the
lion* of YeanhaNTl.

The A soil-ally of Ilydra has transmitted to the
Semite aittaug at Calomel.' an official account of
tour victory, which was certainly obtained by
the Hydrate flotilla over the Turkish squadron
on the fil4th of July last. The Turkish force
is said in this commuoiration to have consist-
ed of four shit's of the litre, five frigates, four
corvettes, and thirty vessels of different sizes,
There was slw ou board the fleet a force of 13,000
lain troops, destined for the reduction of Samos.
The Grecian fleet was formed into three divisions,
tacit consisting of 30 resets, and was judiciously
!rowed in a narrow strait, where were many small
anti rocks. The Turkish Admiral, anxious
to punish the presumption or the rebels, rashly all.
sauced against them, sod soon found himself ember.

fur the defeat sustained by the Turkish fleet.

There was a else yesterday in the Corn market,
and the price if the quotient loaf will be advanced
this day to twelve pence halfpenny. Lord
Ltvata-
PooL, in attributing the agricultural and other di►.
tress.of the country to a superabundant !production,
was considered as speaking somewhat paradoxically,
and the Agricultural Committee, on handing over
the people to time and patience for the core which
was foolishly expected from their extraordinary
skill and ingenuity, have now arrived at the tor-
ment when the truth of their doctrines will be
put to the test. If we can, of proper with
abundance or scarcity, with good harvests or
bad harvests, with low prices nr high prices,
s>•r ills, according to their view of the subject, are
tincurable. However, as the country once enjoyed
prosperity, we may presume it may be acquired
:agsiu if sought in the right way, and Ministers and
.Commissioneis will find that retrenchment sad
'economy, and the reduction of rents and taxes, are
'the only sure road to the attainment of this object.

According to the most recent letters from Madrid,
the proceedings for the liquidation of the debt are
conducting on an extensive scale. Four hundred
and twenty sales of national domains, consisting of
convents, monasteries, estates, and ecclesiastical re-
venues, have been made from Ist January to 22d
June, 1821.
Price of valuation, grand total, real. vellon 31,067,444 15ras.
Sold fur reels vellon 63,945,672, being about £640,000.
At that period many sales were going on, but not
quite finished. Many more sales were closed; but
as 15 days are allowed for liquidation, they are not
included in this statement, but will appear in that
of the following month.

Thr following case, which is both novel and im-

In the 23d year of the reign of King George If. a Statute
was passed, which prohibits the sending of artificers out
of the kingdom, and also the exportation of utensils used
in any of the manufactures of Great Britain or Ireland.
This Statute declares " that any person who shall be
convicted of having persuaded any wurkinan or artificer
of or iu any of the manufacturers of Great Britain or
Ireland to leave the kingdom, and go into any foretell
country, nut with... the dominions of the Crown, shall
forfeit the sum of 500/., mid be imprisoned in the common
gaol fur the spare of twelve calendar months, without hail or
mainprixe, and until such forfeiture be paid." Sense
since Messrs. Robert Thomson and Sou, manufactures,
Hutchison Tom', Guam's, invented and established a ma.
nufacture of a particular kind of carpet., composed of cut-
ton warp and woollen weft. These carpets formerly had
• great sale in the United States of America. Robert
Lee, residing at Soutiscroft, parish of Ruthergien, is charg-

and engaged James Mitchell, carpet.weaver, to leave the
employment of Robert Thomson and Sun, and to go to the

could be plociered in reaping Wheat. By the cud of the week,
therefore, a considerable breadth was upon the shock, but as

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

IRISH BVTTER TRADE.

-

By an account which has been published it will
be Peen. that there has been • deficiency this sea-
son, compa►ed with the list, of no less than 5,346
firkins of butter. in the export or that article to the
Londun market.

The first question we should be disposed to ask
on learning this circumstance-1s London consum-
ing lea butter now than formerly ? If, on inquiry,
it shall be found, sod we believe it will, that the
consumption, if not greater, is at lent equal so the
most flourishing years of the trade, another ques-
tion immediately offers, namely, Why is the Irish
butter excluded from the London market ?

Why, indeed ! The duty on foreign butter, in
foreign bottoms, is twenty-five shillings a firkin—
in British bottoms one pound sterling. Now, this
duty is quite sufficient to secure protection to the
Irish article. It was imposed by the Legislature
with this view—and, until this year, it appears to
have accomplished the object.
But there is another species of butter, called
grease, and is fit for nothing but making sheep
ointment, or for such coarse purposes. On this
foreign grease there is a duty imposed of Is. 6J.

The sagacious reader will see from this statement
how the thing is managed. The importer is hound
to make an affidavit, in which he sears that he
will sell the butter as grease. The butter may be,
and inderd generally is, or a much higher quality.
He takes the oath—a custom-house one, it is true,
and complying absolutely with its letter, he vio-
lates its spirit, and thus cheating the devil in the
dark, lie flatters himself that lie has not committed
perjury. Most certainly he could not he trans-
ported fur the crime, though its fora ecnescientia he
is clearly guilty. Ile sells it as grease to the retail
vender, but as the aforesaid vender is not under
the obligation of an oath, lie buys it as batter.
This is neat.

If the thing happened any where else, and if our
own interest were nut deeply involved. we might he
di-posed to smile at the cleverness of the trick.
But since the Dutchman 1111 V. not pay any of our
taxes, we cannot silently subunit to see our interests
postponed to his. We have lost by the scheme the
sale of fire thousand three hundred and tteenty-six
firkins of butter during the present season, al-
though the price of butler is low almost beyond
precedent. Indeed it is only wonderful how the
farmer can afford to make it up at such u price as
that which it now bears.
It is unnecessary. we know. to say another word
to the Chamber of Commerce on this occasion.—
They know too well what is due to the landed and
mercantile interests of the country. not to take im-
mediate steps to protect them from this piratical
and dishonest species of stnoggling.—(Dablin
Mercantile Advertiser.)

Norwich market was bet thinly attended on
Sourdisy, ou account of harve.t ■nd the fickleness
of the wvadwr. CollPetilletstly very little business
was done, at a trifling advance in prices from last
week.—The show of cattle was small, and few
were disposed of.—The pens were only partially
occ u pied.

At Kipton Ash fair, on Turaday se'nnight, very
little blisiness was done, though the prices of sheep
and lambs were lower than at any fair this season.—
Lambs which were worth 164. three months since,
will nit now fetch that price by a shilling or two
a head.

The Prosecutor stated that on the 9th of August

DEPRAVITY IN A CHILD.
In our Paper of Tuesday last, we mentioned a circum-
stance under the head of " Another stolen Child," which
*mired at this office, respecting s lad about eight years of
age, who had been decoyed away from Mr. Perry's hoarding-
school, at Rumford, by • showman, and by whom be was
afterwards deserted is Maiden-lane, Baltic bridge. The in.
ferreting appearance of the little fellow, and the manner its
which he narrated his adventures, excited the commiseration
of the Magistrates, and Hancock, the constable, who had the
child in his custody, was dispatched on Monday last to Mr.
Perry's school, at Rumford, to make the affair known to him.
Oa the officer arriving at Rumford, be found to his as-
tonishment, there was so such person or school in the
town, but be learned that a Mr. Perry kept an academy
at ■ place called Sheofield, about eight miles further.
Thither Hancock went, and fussed Mr. Perry's boarding..
„school, and or stating the nature of his visit, he learned there
bad been none of his scholars taken away, but there bad
been a youth named Brown, corresponding in description
with the boy now in lineation, io his school about nine months
since. Mr. Perry then advised him to inquire at Ilse Rev.
Mr. Baroskill's school ■t Mouatoesing, two miles and a half
further. Thither he proceeded, and arrived there at dusk.
Mr. B. told him he knew nothing sir the Isoy, but be had a
scholar of that name who was then in Ise& Hancock pro-
cured a certificate front each of those Gentlemen as to their
answers, mod he returned to Rumford late at night, and his
horse being knocked up he slept there, mid started for hew
next inoraitig, where he arrived at eight o'clock. Ou his
going home he questioned the boy, and threatened to have
him confined in the House of Correction, where he would
not be permitted to see any one, and have only bread and
water to live on, and be well whipped if be did not con-
fess the troth, sad to be aware of deceiving him again.
He then began to cry, and said he bad run away from Mr.
Brown's school at Ilford. Hancock warmed him of again de.
ceiving him, and the boy assured him must earnestly be was
telling truth. Hancock accordingly set off on Tuesday
morniag to Ilford, but returned without lading such a school
there, but was advised to go to Woodford and make inquiry,
hut here he suet with no better *twee's. On hie return
home, to his surprise be found that the young villain bad
opened the back door and made his escape. He west in
every direction in quest of hint, but to no purpose, and about
one o'clock yesterday morning he was taken to him by a
watchman, who found him strolling about Gray's lan•leue.
Ou hearing this the Magistrates read the little truant a
severe lecture oft the baseness of his conduct, and threatened
to have him locked up in the black hole, and hare him well
Rugged with a cat-u'•nitie-taih, if he did out instantly tell the
truth, and concluded by telling the officers to take him away
and lock him up.
This threat was instantly put in execution, and whilst the
officer was locking him up in one of the dark cells, and ap.
peering to prepare to have him stripped, in order to have
him flogged, the yesoug delusysient cried out to spare him,
and he would tell the truth. He said his father's name was
Sheppard, • master carpenter, and kept • shoe•warehouse,
which iris mother massaged, at No. 15, Prince's-place, Dog.
row, Rethual-grreu, sued that he ran away from home we
Saturday, because his mother threatened to heat bins. This
story the officer told to the Magistrates, bat from the own-
bar of falsehoods he had told, little faith could be placed ie
it however, a messenger was dispatched to make the neces-
sary inquiries. In the interval of the absence of the mes-
senger, a =au brought a posting-bill which be found stuck
