livered a charge to the following effect:—
Pe was sorry to observe that a large proportion of the charger
contained in the calendar were for capital offences; and also that
the examples it had been lately thought necessary to make. had
not tended more effectually to repress the commission of an efface
with which lie observeel six or seven persons stood charged on the
present occasion—be ailtided to horse stealing. There was one case
of a peculiar nature, to which he felt it his duty to call their par-
fielder attention. It was that of two persona named Pullen and
Young, who had been conintitted on a charge cf having
murdered a man in the course of an affray which took
place between the Coast Preventive Service., and a raffY
of men, supposed to be smugglers. Revenue Officers were
empowered by Act of Parliament to take smugglers and carry
them before a Magistrate, and in case of resistance, they were
justified in making use of such a degree of force as was necossuf
fur the accomplishment of that purpose; but they must not hare
recourse to extreme violence, without an absolute necessity. The
Grand Jury would par proper attention to the power requisite
to be exercised by those engaged in the protection of the !even or;
and on the other hand, they would not permit the life or liberty
of the subject to be needlessly violated. Supposing the peaces
charged to have exceeded the hounds of their duty, there existed
still, in point of law, a great difference between the acts of an as-
sembly for lawful and for unlawful purposes. In the latter In-
stance, all were equally liable to the legal consequences of a altre
rommilted by any individual of their number; but in the fennel
case, where some person or persons in a legal assembly exceeded

THE REr. ALEXANDER FLETCHER.

This Gentleman struggles hard against the decision of
the Scottish Synod. Yesterday, a sort of Masonic proces-
sion took place through the open streets in the eastern
part of the town, for the purpose of laying the foundation
atone of a new Chapel to be raised for Lis use in Finsbury-
circus, Moorfields. There were City marshalmen, children
of both sexes, portions of his congregation, gentlemen
bearing gold and silver trowels, and the Rev. Gentleman
himself carrying the Bible.
The following is the meek and Christiantke inscription
on the foundation stone. The object of putting so much
bitterness into the earth, was, perhaps, to bury all hosality
between the parties:—
" This stone
Was laid., July 13, 11125, by the
Rev. Alcxx,der Fletcher,
For .
The accommodation. of his loving and
Steadfast Congregation,
Who were deprived of Albion Chapel,
sloorgwe.
By the Tyranny, Injustice, and •
Oppression of the Scottish Secession
Synod.
' The Lord of Hosts is with us. the
God of Jacob is our refuge.'"
Prayers were put up, and loud hosannas ascended to the
sky as the stone was lowered.

TRADE OP JAYA.

By letters from Batavia to the 10th of Aril, we learn
that the very depressed state of our markets for Bataviaa
produce had induc,:d-the traders there to suseiend ship-.
ments to England, and to prefer remitting their funds to
Bengal. The crop of coffee this season is represented as
rather abundant, and the weather has heel) favourable for
maturing the bean. This, together with the diminished
demand, may naturally be expected to reduce prices. The
Batavians complain that many of their customers, the
nese, have become insolvent, or are in such a state as to
render transactions exceedingly precarious. To the east-
ward of Java matters are a little better, the transactions
being principally with natives, who were obliged to pay
cash or give good security. Yet the demand for all kinds
of cloth manufacture has decreased, and prices fallen ac-
cordingly. The natives arc now pcor, hardly capable of
paying the ground rent, from the great decline in coffee,
and the increased taxation of Government. When coffee
was selling at twenty to twenty-five dollars the ground rent
was not more than one-third of what it is at present, and
thus the cultivators were enabled to purchase something in
addition to their real necessaries, but now they are entirely
ruined. If this ♦iew of things be correct, we cannct con-
ceive how the Colonial Government can hold out, with a
general decline of trade, and the heavy expense they have
been subjected to from insurrection.
The receipts at the Customs in February were only
40,000 rupees, and it was calculated that the month of
March would be little better. In former times the receipts
were always from to 3 Lacs of rupees per mrnsem. At
the (late of these letters there was not a vessel in Batavia
loading for Europe, a thing which has never before liar-
pened. When we see all the other settlements, Singapore
and Penang, daily advancing, and so fine an islaud as Ba-
tavia declining in commercial importance, it is plain there
there must be something amiss in the conduct of the Ge•
vernmeut.

INJUNCTION.

MANTON V. MARSHALL.
Mr. TnrsLovE moved for an injunction to reitrain the de-
fendant from putting a certain inscription upon gun locks and
barrels. The plaintiff stated in his affidavit, that defendant placed
the name of Manton upon twelve gun barrels and locks which he
intended fur exporiation to Bombay. The putting of such an in-
scription was a fraud upon the plaintiff; the articles of *hose
manufacture were much supnior to those fabricated by the de-
fendant. The defendant had also placed in a mahogany box.
containing the guns intended for India, a paper, atatilt his re-
sidence, and ayling himself gun-maker to his 3lajesty, the Duke
of York, and Boyal Family. He (Mr, Trealove) therefore prayed
that the injunction be granted, for the purpose of restraining the
application of such inscription ; and, also, that the defendant be
prevented from exporting the twelve gun barrels and locks to Born-
bay.—lnjunction granted.

On Saturday afternoon a shocking suicide was committal'
in the iVest Port. An elderly man, a pensioner, who
keeps a shop there, and who has been for some in the prac-
tice of going to excess on receiving his pension, took Lave
in rather a curious way, of several of his relations, among
others, of his wife; but it being supposed that he was in-
tending one of his ordinary rambles, little notice was taken
at:the moment of his behaviour. On leaving his wife.
however, he retired to another room of his house, and
blew his brains out with a pistol. The horror and thanes,
occasioned by this desperate act can hardly be conceived.—

A Cabinet Order, relative to the Censorship of the Press, cat.
tarns the following regulations :
•• The 11th article of the Ordinance of the 13th October, 1619,
shall he considered as expressly including and prescribing the fur-
ther observance of the paragraph in the Itescript of 26th April,
1794, which prohibits the printing of all writings which filth:at-
tack the foundation of all religions in general, and seek to make It
principal truths dubious, contemptible, or ridiculous, or preaumel
to make the Christian eligion, the holy Scriptures, and the his.
torical and positive truths of our faith, which are there Inculcated,
a subject of doubt or of mockery to the people, and thereby to
shake, at the same time, the foundation of all religious sentiments.
" it is further my will, that in respect of writings intended for
a more can tired circle of readers, or only fur the learned, all 'PIC•
corous and bitter attacks on other religious parties unnecessary to
defend the opinions of the author, or calmly to ref Ute those of ahem
shall be entirely avoided, and by no means permitted.
" Writings, tending to hurt the personal honour and good awe
of others, shall rot receive the imprimatur.
" After the Ist of January, 1323, the payment of the expenses
attending the Censorship from the Treasury shall cease ; but is
was previously dote, they shall be paid by the publisher or the
printer, at the rate of three silver groschea for every printed sheet.
" From the same time every publisher shall deliver, gra:is. two

of Berlin, the other to the library of the University of the province
in which the publisher resides. The obligation to deiiver a °spy

has obtained a distinction, which its tfficacy alone can support.
fly pervading the lymphatic vessels, and removing impedimenta to
their functions ; by expelling humours conveyed into the system.
either by infection, impure contact. intemperance, or a delicate
and peculiar construction of the secretory organs—it removes the

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Yesterday, being St. Matth.rtv's Day, the two anior
scholars of this ancient and most excellent Institution de-
livered, according to custom, one a Latin, and the Other an
English oration. After hearing (Heine service in the
neighbouring churth, the Loud Mayors Sheriffs, Geyver-
nors of the Institution, &c. entered the Hall at half-p.ast
one o'clock, and took their scats. Benches were ranged
round the Hall for the acc,:mmodation of the audience,
which principally consisted of the friends and relations oI
the scholars—many of them ladies, evidently mothers and
sisters, anticipating the time when their'sons, or brothers,
should rise and gratify their affection by a similar public
,testimony of their advancement in learning. A platform I
was raised at the lower end of the Hall, exactly facing the
Lord Mayor, Sheriff:, &c, who occupied the upper part ;
the lower end behind the platform was occupied by the scho-
lars. It would be needless to mention the healthy appearance
of these boys, as it has become nearly proverbial. As
soon as the Lord Mayor had taken his seat, the two
vouths who were the chief objects of interest on this, to
'them, eventful day, mounted the platform. Both had
intelligent countenances, and both indented themselves
to the public with a sufficient degree of confidence, and
yet not without that modesty (we do not mean shamefaced-
ness) which generally is, and we Dope always will be cha-
racteristic of the British youth. Their names were H.
Leighton and T. Blown. Mr. Leighton began with the
Latin oration, and was followed. by Mr. Brown with the
English. The subjects of both were the Hospital, educa-
tion, &c. The Latin was a fair specimen of this class of
classical productiobs; there was s little stiffness in the
style in one or two instances, but not more than is met
with in the general run of mocisen Latin compositions.
The English hal the-seoompireakiloiva nai beillg too
long, but had no snore than its peaks...or munch claim to
novelty on the score of subject. Ms elution was made to
the new edifice that was building, and as was said by Mr.
Brown, in so many words, it was not begun bdore it
was wanted. Both the orations were remarkably well de-
livered, and deservedly drew down time most hearty ap-
plause, which must have been as gratifying to the masters
who have thus brought them forward as encouraging to
the youths who have done their instructors so much
credit.

A handsome collection was afterwards made, for the
benefit of the young men. Refreshments were handed
round to the ladies, after which the auditory departed,
highly gratified.
