ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.

Yesterday, a Charity Sermon was preached at
St. Margaret's Church, Lothbury, by the Rev. John
Owen, M.A. and a colleaion made in behalf of this
beneticent, and national institution. The test was
taken from the 103 d Psalm, ver. 4. Who sareth thy
life from destrraion. On this he argued, that none
had a right to throw away that life, which none but
God himself could give; that nature herself pro-
claimed the truth of this, as many, from having lived
dissolute and infamous lives, being hurried away by
the recollection of their crimes, and being about to
precipitate themselves into that eternity. Ross which
there is no redemption, just as the precious jewel is
about to fall from the casket. the soul itself, recoiling
at the dread abyss, has enabled them to dedicate
themselves to that God, whose laws they were im-
piously about to break through, and to become good
sub e, in that society they were about to quit, and,
still sore, to diffuse happiness through that family
to which they more immediately belonged. In
another part of his discourse, he observed, that the
adva,itage to be derived from this Society had
spread itself from pole to pole ; that even now the
tawny Indian beyond the Atlantic, and the swarthy
African, were feeling its influence through the advice
and apparatus transmitted to them by the Humane
Society; that on Tuesday last no less than thirteen
persons had been restored to their friends and to the
nation ; that in the course of thirty years, since the
e..tablisiiinent of this institution, and in the limits)
extent of population. in which it had existence,
near 3,000 persons had been recalled to a second
life ; that he could point out a Gentleman of the
Faculty, who was present in church, and who
had received distingui,hed marks of favour from
the Society for having brought to life two still-
born infants, who may one day be an orna-
ment to the natiln, and who now are a living
comfort to the otherwise wretched mother. He
closed his discourse with a pathetic address to his
fellow citizens, to contribute their aid to the support
of such a laudable institution.

We gave on Saturday, an account of the open-
ing of the Wapping Docks. Our reporter left the
place at the time the workmen were proceeding to
lift the sluices, and the effeets which he described
were ouch as must have followed; but, on trial, it
was found that tic iron-works were corroded, and
consequently could not be raised so as to admit the
water to the eztent expelled.
The Earl of KAI LIE was on Wednesday last
elated one of the Representatives of the Scotch
Peerage, in the roam of the late Marquis of Twits-
DALE.
On Saturday we received a Private Letter from
Rotterdam of the 14th. It ,tats, that all commu-
nication between England and the Continent,
by the way of A msterdam, Rotterdam, and Cat-
wyck, will cease on 'he 28th, as the French
have given notice, that they will not respell
German certificates :titer that date. The French
had begun, on the 11th, to pay domiciliary vi-
sits at Rotterdam in search of British manufadures,
and the French Consul at that city had been arrested
by order of his Government, and sent to Paris un-
der an escort, upon a charge of facilitating their in-
troduElion into that port. Two houses had circu-
lated letters, stating, that British goods would be
admitted upon payment of a very large bounty.
These letters were communicated to the French Go-
vernment, and are supposed to have been the only
cause of the above measures, and the domiciliary
visits had, in consequence, ceased. The notice for
the 211th, it is generally suppoia!d, WAS given to extort
money from the Dutch, and therefore, it is proba.
ble,the communication may colair.ue openafter that
period.

LAW.

COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, WgiTICNSTEII, Nov. 17.

Mr. ERSKINE applied to the Court for leave to
file a criminal information against the Rev. John
Buckworth Hearne, a Clergyman, residing at Blunts-
coutt, Oxfordshire, who, unless ha could give some
account of his conduit, appeared to have been guilty
of a most shameful and diabolical proceeding.
About tour years ago, Mr. Thomas Smith, the
gentleman on whose behalf the application was
made, became acquainted with Mr. H. ; they were
both married men; their wives constantly visited

each other, and they were altogether in great habits
of intimacy. Upon one occa,ion, while Mr. S. was
absem trcim home, Dr. H. called upon Mrs. S. and
asked her to go home with Lim to Bluntscourt,
and on the way asked her whether she was quite
settled at her residence, and some other questions
relative to her pecuniary affairs: he then advised her
to get a settlement irom her husband, as an affair
of consequence would soon be disclosed. He after-
wards requested she would join him in the book-
room, and there he again pressed her to get a settle-
ment from her husband as soon as she could ; and

intimated to her, that he had been spoken to by
Lady Price, wife of Sir Charles Price, to decline
all future intimacy with Mr. S. who was not proper
company for him, either as a clergyman or as a
man; he kept low company, and when in town
slept at improper places; he further added, he had
received two anonymous letter, upon this subjea,
one purporting to have been set itten by a man, and
the other by a female. Mrs. S. then asked, who the
person was who had told Lady P. ? He then, having
enjoined her to secrecy, told her, that Mr. Arnold,
Lady l'.'s Law Agent, was the person. Being a
young woman of delicate and refined ideas, she was
much surprised, and asked, if there was a lady in
question ? to which he replied, he wished to God
there was. She then asked, if it was a child ?to
which he made the same reply. She was then
greatly alarmed and distressed, and could not think
what he alluded to. Some time after, notwithstand-
ing the caution, which, he said, he had received from
Lady P., Mr. H. came to pay a visit in his usual
friendly way ; a conversation ensued, relative to the
pedigree of one of Mr. S.'s blood horses, and while
he went to his study for the Racing Calendar, Mr.
H. took the opportunity of slipping a letter across
the table secretly, into Mrs. S.'s hand ; she left the
room to peruse its contents, and found it was signed
Simon Pyre, addressed to her by the appellation of
" My dear little Friend," cautioning her against
making use of any unguarded expressions which
might discover their former conveisation, assui ing
her, it was horn his regard to her mother's dying
request, who enjoined him to take care of her, that
he thus interfered ; again urging her to procure a
settlement from her husband, and concluded in re-
questing she would commit the letter to the flames.
On her return to the room, she took an opportunity
of speaking_to him, and told him, he ought, as a
friend to Mr. S. to communicate the information he
had received, and if he did nut, she would ; at which
Mr. H. appeared much alarmed and greatly agi-
tated. The next time she saw her brother, Mr.
Eccles, she told him What had transpired, and he
communicated it to Mr. S. who felt it his duty to
bring the matter before the Court, and seek that re-
dress and exculpation of his chars/bee which he con-
ceived himself entitled to.
In Mrs. S.'s affidavit, she stated, that she had
been seven years married to Mr. S., during the
whole of which time, they had lived in the most
perfeCt harmony and affeCtion, nor had she ever the
least reason to doubt her husband's regard, or to
suppose lie was of the disposition Mr. H. wi,lrcd to
infer, as she believed his intention was to insinuate,
that her husband was guilty of unnatural propen-
sities, for the purpose of alienating her affeilions
from him. Mr. Arnold, who was a most honour-
able and respeCtable man in his profession, when
applied to, expressed his utter astonishment, and de-
clared his ignorance of any such transaction. It was
also sworn, as to Mr. S.'s sleeping at improper
places, that one time he and Mrs. S. came to town,
on a visit to a friend, Mr. Rodman ; there happened
not to be a bed prepared, and his wife slept with
Miss R. while he went to Hatchett's Hotel. This
was the only reason for that part of the insinuation,
Lord ELLEMBOROUGH asked Mr. Essitins in what
way he meant to frame his information ? he replied,
as a libel and misdemeanour.
Lord ELLLNIOIOOOI4..—" It may have been a
very proper and dutiful communication on his part.
and his outward appearance to the husband, to
prevent suspicion, was very natural. It is too equi-
vocal, and by no means sufficiently stated in the affi-
davits, that he thus aifted for the purpose of alienat-
ing the lady's affections from her husband, by a
statement he knew to be false. I am therefore of
opinion, that the Court cannot grant a criminal in-
formation—but the party injured may still have
his remedy by indiament. '—Motion refused.
On toe motion of Mr. GA IIIOW, in the absence
of the ATTORNLYZENItit•L, Thomas Philp and
Join !lone, two smugglers, were brought up to
receive the Judgment of the Court. They were
conviCted, at the-last assizes for Suffolk, before Mr.
Baron liotritAbl, of assaulting Benjamin Barns, an
Excise Officer, and obstructing him and another
Officer in the discharge of their duty .—lt appeared
that the Defendants, in company with 13 or 14 other
persons, were carrying of 30 casks of gin, when they
were overtaken by the Officers, and, after some op-
position, eight casks were seized.—They were sen-
tenced to six months imprisonment in Horsham gaol.
Loosest V. mms.

Lord F.t.ttzsioaoyon informed the Counsel, who
had argued the question in this cause, relative to the
legality of an inquisition to ascertain the value of
13;.ds of the Plaintiff (which we reportedon Saturday),
that all the preliminary points were not before the
Court. Before judgment was pronounced, it was
necessary that it should be stated, that Government
had authorised its Officers to take possession of the
land ; that the Sheriff had been called upon to issue
his warrant; and, in short, that every necessary
step had been taken ; for, should it appear that there
was the least irregularity in the proceedings, the in-
quisition would be illegal. Mr. Easemsa said, he
was sure every thing was regular ; but, should it be
otherwise, the Plaintiff would be better pleased to
have his land again, in the state it had been taken
' from him, than the 14,000 L which had been award-
ed to him as a compensation for it.

Friday the Coroner's !srest sat on the body
of an eminent Solicitor, who had shot himself at
his house, near the General Post-Office. About
six o'clock on Thursday evening, this unfortunate
Gentleman suddenly left the office, and went to a
water-closet up stairs, when he discharged a pistol
in his mouth, and the two balls with which it was
loaded, passed through the are.prt; the consequence
was instant death.
He was discovered in a sitting posture, with his
head reclined against the wall, without any signs
of life ; and, on a further inve ligation, the wound
was observed, and the haul instrument which
igave it. It appeared from the evidence, that
%shout a year ago, he had a very violent fit of
the gout, since which tune he frequently appeared
:Dot perfe.tly colleined in the exercise of his facul-
ties ; his habits of industry induced him frequently
Vs sontioue at business, till the stupefaaion under
which he laboured, rendered him incompetent to

DUBLIN, NOV. 13.
Exchequer has just taken
- very efficient measure
_ revenue in Dublin.
Yesterday morning almost all the Excise Officers of
the Dublin Distriet, in number nearly 200, were
put out of charge, and their places immediately
supplied by other Excise Officers previously ordered
up from the Country DistriCts of Ireland. So sud-
denly was this change effeCted, that, excepting the
Board of Commissioners, and one highly confidential
Officer under them, no one had the least idea of such
A thing being intended. It is supposed that the close
intimacy of the Dublin Officers with distillers, malt.
sters, and other manufaCturers of excisable goods,
prevented them from looking too strialy to the in-
terests of the revenue, was the cause of this great
change of situation.
Under the auspices of Lady Hardwicke, the silk
manufaeure is carrying oil with increasing briskness
and spirit in this city.
Yesterday the second brigade of Dublin Yeoman.
ry, consisting of the Divisional Corps, went on duty
for four days.
The Earl of CLON m rt. has given a liberal dona-
tion towards the ereCtion of a Roman Catholic

position in this young Nobleman to serve a large
portion of his countrymen.
Lord HENRY FITZGER A LD, formerly Member in
the Parliament for this city, and uncle to the Duke
of LEiNsrea, arrived from England on Saturday
evening, and immediately set off for Carton.
Mrs LITCHE I ELD, who lately performed at one of

The Cork Mercantile Chronicle, of the 7th inst.
after noticing the gross misrepresentations, respeaing
the alleged conspiracy at Leighlin Bridge, makes
the following observations: " Misrepresentations of
this country have been ever attended with injurious
consequences, as well to her interest an to her cha-
rafter ; the misfortune is not of novel origin, it
commenced long ago ; but it may be at this day,
this singular and emergent moment ! of more
consequence to make erroneous impressions abroad,
relative to the disposition of the inhabitants of this
country, than it could have been at any pre-
ceding time. Every relation of the sort whets
the enterprise of a restless, a wily, and a power-
ful foe, whose hopes are direted, in almost every
London Journal, to the prevailing disaffe,tion
in Ireland. That the imperfea struaure of our so-
CIA condition exposes us to internal derangements,
unfrequent in better ordered communities, we have
been always disposed to allow. Bnt we cannot hut
think that it would be more wise to set about cor-
reaing the impolicy of past ages, than in a vulgar
and petulant humour to scold at their consequences,
where they are inconveniently manifested. Of fa-
bricated relations of disorders and tumults, we shall
say nothing; when detefted they speak for them-
selves ; they must be engendered by persons who are
equally foes to the people and to their government ;
hut of that flippancy to recount our local inquie-
tudes when they occur, and to convert them into a
procurer to rebellion (a prevailing habit with
some of our British contemporaries), we have fre-

quently complained, and we are not upon better
terms with it because it is familiar to us. It would
not, perhaps, suit the trade of a London Editor, to
look, if he be able to contemplate such a subjed
with suitable intelligence and wisdom, at the train
of causes which have retained this country in snch
a state of comparative impunity with its neigh-
hone ; but if he were really to investigate the sub.
kit like a philosopher, and to discuss it as a candid
man, he would find in our community the ele-
ments of disquiet, if political incentives were an-
nihilated, sufficient to account for more intenup-
tions to local repose, than take place in our most
sequestered and insubordinate distrids. And if
he were justly to examine such causes of retard-
ment, as he may meet he would, in calculat-
ing the extent of their consequences, be surprised to
find, that the only restraint they had met from en-
larging to a more unfortunate extension, than
any thing we now see, was in the natural softness of
the people of the country ; in the kind affections
and warm hearts of a people whom every lying
little Gazette is constantly representing as the most
barbarous people upon the earth. In a country
where misgovernment and insubordination have been
at variance for ages, and where the Chiet Governor
of this day has to eacininter the errors of preceding
centuries, it is no impeachment of the vigour and
ability of hi► government, if some parochial disor-
ders should here and there interrupt the general
acpc of tranquillity and loyal obedience, so ob-
servable in this country ; and, on the other hand,
it is no argument of the disaffeCtion of the nation,
because ignorance and turbulence will some-
times plunge into disorder without any consistency
of objeft, or distiminess in design. We are
well satisfied that the Government are acquainted
with many fundamental truths respdting this coun-
try, upon which they are disposed to act liberally
and honestly ; and that while they rebuke the genius
of discord from Ireland, that worst of foes to the
real power of the British Empire, and while they
discountenance the few remaining partisans of dis-
union and animosity among the people, and have
resolved to pursue a mild and conciliatisy course,
they want no vigilance to defeat, nor no energy
to crush any miscreant, who, lost to every prin-
ciple belonging to an Irishman, may have sold
himself to Bonaparte, and who durst attempt to
excite, in his native country, tumults prepara-
tory to the expelled attempts of an enemy. If
there be any of this stamp, they are not nume-
rous ; for no feeling is more general among the
gross mass of the country, than a detestation of Bo-
naparte and his slaves; and a sentiment of grateful
attachment for the principles which influence the
conduit of governmeu ; and if, under the inspiration
of Providence, this spirit be aided by the cultivation
of good will among the inhabitants, and the sup-
pression of any effort to re-kindle those animosities,
over which self-love and interest, to say nothing of
the more exalted motives, should heap the ashes of
oblivion, we have no doubt but that the enemy, who
would oppress in Ireland as well as in Holland and
Switierland, will be driven from our shores by the
concentrated efforts of a brave and united nation."
