MR. PIERCE OF BRISTOL.

A statement has appeared In Streral papas respecting the sup-
pired_ discovery of this (knifeman, which bmaterially incorrect.
Mesas. Clarke, It ichanls, stud idle eslf, Solicitors, of Chancery-lane,
give the following contradiction, in order to counteract any unau-
thorised anticipatioas which Ow friends of Mr. l'ic.ree may thence
have entertaineiL

Hares, the shoc.black's belief that he had discovered Mr.
Pierce, arose Inert the simple fart of the servant of the family re.
siding in Buckinghani-street having given him a pair of boots to
clean, in which the name of the nankin., and hia residence at
Bristol, were pasted. In consequence of this intOmiatiOn. a gentle.
man in the office tto whom the person of Mr. Pierce was known,
he being the son of his late partner,) repaired to tie lodging.
house, where he learned that the (Mint` Of the boots was a Mr.
Yams, of Bristol, and who hail taken lodgings in the house as a
temporary convenience. until he could procure cliantlicrs. Mr.
Yates, by a singular coincidence, beans a strung resemblance, in
general ap)earmice, to Mr. Pierce. Mr. Yates still resides in
fluckinghana.street.
The report that Mr. Pierce had bon seen walking with Mr.
Palnitw, loth in theapside, was a day or two since Drought to
Messrs. H. and M., who, on Inquiry of Mr. Palmer, ascer-
tained that lie hail only been in company with a gentleman of the
name of Yates, of Bristol. who hail just arrived in La:akin from
that city. We believe that Mr. Palmer. jun., and Mr. Yates,
served their clerkships in the same office, that of a must romeciable,
Solicitor at Bristol.

Yesterday morning Hare saw Mr. V., and now admits that he
hed never seen Mr. Yates bother, soil that his suspicion of his,
being Mr. Pierce arose front his hoots having been node by a
Bristol nitumfacturer. Mr. Y. was tnr some time a resident of
Clifton his family, we believe, still reside there. He had seen
Mr. Pierre at Bristol. and therefore knew lino by sight, but had no,
acquaint:ince with him. Three months since he strived in they
metropolis, to serve his Terms es a Student of the Inner Temple,
and took chambers temporarily in the Adelphi, where he still re-
sides. lle has never seen Alr. Pierce in London, and has not the,
slightest knowledge of any circumstance connected with the mys-
terious and atHieting disappearance of that m gentlesru; neither has
Mr. V. seen either of the 3lessrs. Primer since he letl '
31r. Protherue, of Park-etteet, Bristol, with whom Mr. Piller
dined on the 3d inst. has. we 'inclement!, made a deposition before
a:Magistrate of that gentleman having let his house at about mid.
night, not under the influence of liquor in the sliAtest degree.
Not the least clue, we regret to add, has yet been discovered, that
might by any possibility clear up the awful mystery with which
the disappearance of Mr. P. is enveloped. He has not receired
his dividends on the Hook stock which were due previous to his
being missed.

CITY BUSINESS.

Yesterday the Lord MayoTireraCourt of Aldermen at (Auld-
hall, for the despatch of public business.
Arr. Wm. Pane, son of the late Mr. Payne, I....ncipal clerk to
the sitting Justices at Guildhall, was unanimously elected assistant
clerk to the sitting Justices, in the room of Mr. Deresfoed, who
was at the last Court elected to the senior situation.
The Chamberlain laid before the Court a statement of the Or-
phans' Fund for the quarter ending the Sth instant, and the Court
directed the sum of 7,700/. of the debt to be paid off, and the
Chamberlain to give the necessary notices to the parties interested.
The Court heard and determined upon the appeals, of several per.
sons against serving the offices of constable acu inquest, to which
they had been elected on St. Thomas's Day last.
The IVisrdninte presentments were referred to the Aldermen of
the respective Wards, to glte such directions in respect thereof as
they should see fit. .
The 4th of March next was appointed far licensing victuallers
within the City.
The Comnittiee appointed to consider the petition of the Tackle
House Porters against the Ticket Porters, for preventing them
from participating in light catching burdens, reported that the right
of delivering such burdens was exclusively with the Ticket Porters.
The Committee appointed to consider the petition of the Ship-
owners of Newcastle, for a reduction in the wages of the coal.
heavers and coal-meters' men, presented a report against complying
with that petition; which was agreed to.
A report in respect of the arrangements to be adopted fur con.
ducting the businets of the two Courts at the Stations was present-
ed, and the Committee empowered to take the requisite measures
to carry the same into effect.
Several bills and salaries were ordered to be paid.

THE SILK WEAVERS.

The Manufactures and Committee of Journeymen En-
gine Weavers met again at the King's Head 'I avers, iu
the Poultry, on Nlonday night, for the purpose of cmleavour-
ing to ethet an amicable adjustment of prices. A letter sent
by John Thorp, Esq. to the Secretary of the C ' tee,
naturally induced an expeetation of accomplishing the de-
sired arrangement, and which, we are happy to say, bids
fair to be speedily attained. The greatest diffi rencerxisted
in the prices named by the two parties for the manu-
facture of galloons, doubles, and hands ; on these much
discussion took place, Mr. Thorp having been previously
called to the Chair. They were considered seriatim,
MO in each ease, after great but fair contention on either
side, both parties receded from their original terms, and
at length compromised at about half-way of the differences
of price asked and ofhred. The Committee, however, not
having been vested with full powers, nothing could be de-
finitely arranged until they had laid before the general
body of the trade the result of last uight's meeting. A con-
viction that it would have their unanimous and speedy as-
sent, watt hewever expressed, and a de termination come to.
to call a meeting of their constituents without has of time.
A most important suggestion was made, and elicited
the unanimous approbation of the meeting ; it related
to a generalization of prices among the trade, by an
understanding that the Alagi grates of the different
districts Avoid he applied to, at one and the same time, to
sanction a list of prices to be previously agreed upon at a
public meeting of the two parties concerned in the silk
trade. The proceedings of Monday night reflected peat
credit upon both rides, for the temperance and the forbear-
ance with which each advocated the interests of the body
they represented • and so general was this feeling, that at
the conclusion of the business, thanks were unanimously
voted to Mr. Tborp for his impartial conduct in the /hair,
and for the diapcsit ttttt he hail evinced to effect an amitable
adjustment of the differences which hare of late existed in
the trade.

TRE MURDER (PP MR. WPAIRE.

RF:SPITE OF lIUNT.

This wretched crimibal, it Will be remembered, received sentence
of e. cad' at the sane time with ha companion in guth, John
Thurtell; but nu day wu named by the Lear:Jed Judge for the
ex.-elation of time sentence, as far at ?swanks! him t and the low
t• allows to persons convicted only is accessaries to a murder, the
Imam lap.c or tutor betweetm the sentence and the execution, which
' i. allotted to all capital convicts cescept prinr!palt in alunkr), tried
at county assizes, namely, Id slays. This ( Wednesday) thereinto is
the day upon which Hunt would haveauffered death, had no order
I to the contrary been received from Government, and tip to Mon-
day morning tin such o•earr had }ruched the persons in :authority at
; Iferthard. Mr. Nicholsm, UnderSherilt, under dies/circumstances,
felt it his duty to tiller the preparations amenity ter an evecution,
and at time same time wrote to Robert Sutton, Y.sq., the Illgh Sim-
i rid, acquainting him with the steps IM had taken, and stating that
the total silence observed in the higher quarters upon the subjtcs
of the unhappy man's fate, bad kept hint (Mr. Nicholson) in a
must painful state of suspense, after the impression which had
been left upon his mind, subscapient to the execution of Thurtell,
r that pardon would be esti-naiad,. to the accessary. The High
Shertif, with his accustomed prompt humanity. determined to wait
immediately upon the Under Secretary of State, for he (Mr. Sut-
ton) had somehow or other conceived that Thursday, and not
IVednettiay, would be the day 14 execution, and he thought it
possible that a similar mistake kliglit4utve prevailed elsewhere.
Ile accordingly attended at the UMW, infice yesterday morning.
where he saw Mr. Capper (Mr. lbabhative being out of town In
consequence of the death of a near Mutton, who informed hint
that Government hail determined to grant a respite for one week to
Ilunt, and that he (Mr. Capper) hod transmitted the order to the
Gaoler of Hertford, and had remised an acknowledgment from
hint of the receipt of It. This ackhowkilipnent he showed to the
High Sheriff. Thus is would seem thahVovernment have not yet
finally determined upewebe be premed with TotPeet to
Ilunt. and the fate of the wretchai teak will remains in doubt.

Mr. Harmer had an interview with Hunt on Sunday last. He
found bim sunk in the lowest depths of despair, and entertaining,
to all appearance, no hope whatever of i favour.ble consideration
of his case by the higher authorities. Mr. Harmer told him that
ho had but very slight brim of a commutation of the sentence,
and left hint in the most pitiable state of mind that can be con.
cared.

This was an application for the purpose of having certain suits

Lunt for life, upon the condition annexed of paying certain debts

devit, that scion after the death of the testatrix, the solicitor of Lord

. tendons of testatrix into ctect, but that although there were large

IRVING V. PRITCHARD.
Mr. Ac An, in this case, itrcsented a petition on the part of a wife
azainst her -husband, complaining of bring denied see=s to her
children, and prating that this control might be removed.
His Hnatot:a inquired if the children were wards of the Court,

din ion.

and general principle that the mother should have access until the

aunt had died and bequeathed to them a considerable property,
and had also appointed a guardian inderendent or their father.

would have no objection to a di,cumion on the subject.
The VOILTRT was of opinion that it possessed no authority, as the

Two rufE ins, named Ilenry Connolly and Peary It' yntl.
hackney-coachmen, were brought up yesterday, the former eliarg.,l
with committing a most atrocious rape on a young deaf and dumb'
woman named Sarah 3laynard, and the Liter charged with niaking
a violent assault upon her. The woman wrote answers to the ques-
tions am down by the Alderman. It appeared she resided in Que.!n-
street, Limehotise, and supported herself by working for 3!r.•

in the Strantl. The prisoners wort remanded for a day or two.
The persun of a third fellow, whom she accuses of being a party, is

DONCASTER RACES.

(BY EXPRESS.)

IV)WDAY. srr7.2(l.

The coarse was crowded beyond all former prec4lent,
and the most intense anxiety existed amongst all classes ;
and the various rumours flying about as to horses which
were expected to start, made the sporting men very
cautious in their betting. The variations in betting, pre-
viously to the race, exceeded all former precedent. None
hut those who were " in and in" could possibly discover
the meaning of alternately bringing up as favourites, in one
stable, Mustachio, Altisidora and Caccia l'iatti. The most
knowing ones were at fault, and the common salutation
was, " There never was such times." On the Sunday
morning great consternation was excited, by Streatham
being sold, and delivered into the bands of —, no one

NEir SOUTH WALES.

The last arrivals from this fine colony bring Sydney
Paper: to the 15th April, and continue to furnish favour-
able intelligence of the settlements in the interior. Speak-
ing of the lately-formed establishment in IVAlmpart Val-
ley, about 170 miles north-west of Sydney, the last Gazette
Sari The most flattering prospects seem to become unfolded
in this tine part of the country. The last harvest pro-
tluced, upon new land, from twenty to 39 bushels the
acre! The cotton tree from Ko, castor oil tree, and a
variety of other productions from that country, as well as
the tobacco plant, seem to flourish in perfection. It is not
known yet whether the cotton trees will stand the winter,
though expectation is sanguine. There are the finest hills
in the world for the rearing and growth of the vine, as
well as the olive tree, and the soil cn the mountain sides
is pronounced of the same description as that in which
these productions grow throughout the Levant. The Ip? -
tincuanha has produced& great return front some seed that
was sown by way of experiment. L'pon the whole that
has transpired as yet. in reference to Wellington Valley,
it is obvious that its latitude and soil are friendly to the
growth of every article requisite fur the consumption of
man, and of most (if not all) of the delicacies which
stamp superior impottance upon other countries.
" A slate quarry was opened on the 23d ult. within a
few miles of the settlement, said to be as fine as any in
Old Wales. On the howlers of the Nlscquarrie both slate
and coal abound; and timber of all kinds, as well as cedar,
is procurable within thirty-six hours' journey of the 'Val-
ley. Through Glenfinglass a fine level road presents itself
fur a four-wheel carriage. into the N. W., where the whole
of the country for miles id pronounced superior to any ex-
plored 'tart of our continent, haying, as the travellers pro-
ceed onward, the appearance of a rich domain or park."
Within the preceding six months there have been no less
than six coaches and caravans prov.detl to run between
Sydney and ['armada, Sydney anti I.' vcrpool, l'aramatta
and Windsor, t.d from Paramatta to Bathurst. One was
also spoken of for Wellington Valley, and a Company was
forming to sail packets from Sydney to the different depen-
dencies.
