CORN LAWS.

Mr. PaotLL thought no apolrgy was necessary for bringing
under the consideration of the Court a subject so important as the
state of the existing laws and regulations with respect to the impor-
tation and ()Timor grain in this country. If. on the contrary, he
were to continue a silent witness of the operation of the present per-
nicious and unnecessary Corn Laws, be did not think he should be
acting In the discharge of his duty, satisfied as he was that those
regulations were of an imutie,us tendency, and that the present ears
the time moat favourable for their alteration and revision. Ten
years ago the Worthy Alderman near the Chair had taken an active
part in the opposition which the Bill, to regulate the price of corn,
then introduced into the House of Commons, had received . and he
(Alderman Waithman) brought the matter before the Council, it
the shape of a petition to Parliament, against the proposed mea-
sures. The result of their exertions on that occasion was known,
but ought not to influence their conduct at the present time, when
so much greater opportunities existed for carrying titeir old prin.
ciple into effect than formerly. True it was, that some interested
parties might be still found who were disposed to cling to the old
system, but their opposition should not be regarded. Looking at
the relative situations of the agriculturist of England, the mer-
chant
of England, the manufacturer of England, and the artisan
of England—he thought them all equally entitled to encourage. !
ment and support ; and it was on the ground of forwarding the vital
interests of the latter, without (as he thought) inflicting injury
upon the first class, that he wished for a revision of the Corn
Laws We were certainly bound to take no rep. that would de.
price the landed interests of a fair remunerating price for their pro..
duce ; but it was no less right to enable our manufacturers to compete
with foreigners on something like equal terms, which could only
be done by the repeal of the existing Corn Laws. It was the wise
disposition of Providence that, while a great diversity existed In
the climate and circumstances of different countries, what one na-
tion stood in need of could be supplied by the superfluities of
another. Notwithstanding this apparently self-evident principle, ,
it had been difficult, or. more properly speaking, impossible, to
convince our ancestors of its truth. By the .ith and 6th of Edward
the Sixth, persons purchasing corn or grain, for the purpose of
selling it again, were rendered liable to three months' imprison.
merit and r. tine to the amount of the merchandire so purchases!, for
the first offenee; and for the second they were sentenced to sic
months' imprisonment, and to pay double the amount; and tor'
the third breach of the statute they were to be placed in the pillory,
imprisoned during the King's pleasure, and all their property was
' forfeited to the Crown. Such were the provisions seggested by the
wisdom of uur ancestors against forestalling corn. Ploy years ago,
the opinion of * very enlightened economist, Adam Smith, was ;
that the rota trade was restricted and encumbered by many absurd
regulations. The author whose authority he had cited thought
that if all countries were to consent to the removal of commercial
restrictions, and establish a ptrrecey free and fair trade.
peeled by. any duties whatsoever, then would the whole world de-
rive infinite advantage, inasmuch as every country in it would be
placed in the situation of provinces of one great empire. These
were the literal and enlightened sentiments of the author of T.'tc
or Natbirs tiny years ago; and wet such prejudices had
continued to exist up to a eery late peretti, that the present Chan-
cellor of the Es:cheerier had been m danger of having his home
destroyed over his head, hit indulging in the expression of what
were considered too liberal str.timents stn tins subject, a few years
ago. A beut the same period that this attack had been made upon
Mr. Rouinson, Sir Francis Burdett himself, a country rentlernan,
and of course interested in the soccese of' agriculture, dtd,rered en
enlightened and manly speech in I'm-ha:ion: up, a the same sub.
ject. The arguments which had been ueeil against the then anti
present state of the Corn Laws, could net fail to carry coneicsion
siting with then. Hewers, that there night he no doubt or tii,-
egrcealevt upon so iniperant a subject, he would confine himself
to tact.. and briefly Advert to rite practical evils which had restdod
train the sy.'em he complained of. lie was quite ready to admit
that, in tile year Ill• 22, the prices of grain were much lower
than they ought to be„ to :need a t.rir remunerating price to
the agriculturist. But he would ask, did Lot various measures
connected with commerce and manufactures (such a. the Na.
legation Act) tenth directly to assist the landed interests F—
lit coneerpietice of the adoption of such measure., prices rose, and
the agriculturist wax relieved. In the present period the removal
of commercial restrictiore, winch firmed a part of the policy of
his Majesty's Government, and the opening of the poets, could
not tail to be highly beneficial to the best interests of the State, by
doing natty with the commercial and national jealousies nt other
',mimeo, and creating in their stead a liberal and fraternal feel.
lag among the nation, of Europe. Such a state of things would
fat farther promoted by permitting the importation of foreign grids.
and he trusted the consideration of those advantages would convince
the upholders of the Corn Lairs of their mistake, and that the
dictates of sound policy were in accordance with the revision pro.
posed. Another striking evil of the Corn Laws was the fluctuation
of price and fallacious averages which were observable in spite of
thew. By means of the speculations of a few individuals who had
togensed the whole trade into their own hands, ports which ought

(N
adopt such regulations as would enable the importer to hew the
price of the article with more certainty, and on what tame he
could advantageously bring foreign corn into this country. At

on foreign corn, which duty would go into the pockets of the fio-
vernment, to the increase of the revenue. That would be as **ex-

every article of Britieh manufacture *cull become mare is de-
mand, and all interests would be proportionately bandied and
advanced. He did not pretend to any great familiarity with the
details of the subject, but he had made it his tnielatmmo converse
with gentlemen well acquainted with the state of market,
and we.: convinced, from the information he cell ' , that such
a revision of the Corn Laws as he had out was absolutely
necessary.. The Honourable Member by. moving a Re-
solution (For which see Advertisement), and proposing diat apeu.
tior. founded thereon be prepared and presented to the two Houses
coiai
of Peril intent.

Mr. ROUT., recorded the Resolution. lie thought the adovs
tion.of Ilse alteration in the Corn Laws would do an important
fiery::: to the manufacteling interest, and not peon injunims to
the agriculturist. It was unnecessary to go at length Mee the
reasons which induced him to support the Resolutions of his
Honourable Friend, am; the more so from the very able speech of
that4ientleman in prorniring them. However, he would advert to
one or two points which be thought worthy of nttention. It sp.
peered that the price of corn in many parts of Europe was bat half
the price of corn in this country. It might be inferred from that
tact, that were our ports to be opened to foeelgo grei a;„ it would de-
stroy the agricultural interests. This seemed s plausiblenbjection,
but was net to be relied on, when the fact was considered, that the
granaries in all the ports of Europe never contained a greater
quantity of coin then would be sufficient to supply this Country for
a month. That being the ase, the effect of throwing open our ports
to foreign corn would be to raise the price of that atticleebroad to
proport.on to the demand. That was the very object which it was
desirable to effect, because we did not want cheap bread, but only
as cheap as it could be procured in other countries. If the price of
provisions were to be forced up abroad, the English manufacturer
and agriculturist would both be protected, and the flamer enabled
i to compete on equal terms with foreign productions. Another
point to which he eras desirous of referring was, the practice ol
making false returns, which rendered the Act of Parhament in-
operative. There could be no doubt of the existence of the nil, for
the st.bject was now under the consideration of Government. with •
a view to the prosecution of the parties who had been detected an
those practices. He was not much in the habit of supporting the
measures of his Majesty's Government. but be felt sattsfactioo in
going (ar..he believed) hand in hand with them in the prawn ill-
stance, when they were decidedly right.
Itlr. Alderman THOMPSON_ The court had found it its duty to
oppose the Corn Hill introduced into Parliament in Hill They
had row the satisfaction to see that the occurrences of the last ten
years bore them out in the course then adopted. He was sure they
could have ho wish to injure the agriculturist ; they must be aware
that all the interests of the country were intimately cameeted,
prosperity attended one, it would be experienced by all t and In ad.
verity they must suffer together. The time had attired when an
alteration upon this subject was called for. It was evident that
food was the basis by which the rate of wages was to be regulated.
The machinery and industry of our manufacturers would be vain
without a corresponding. advantage in the rate of wages. The
position of duty on grain was no better than a novel Innovation.
Up to the year 1773 its importation had been permitted free of duty ;
and from that period to 101 S it was allowed, subject to a specific
duty. Ile wished every fair protection to be tuTeeded to the agri-
culturist. Ilia object was, to render the price of corn regular, and
not subject to its present fluctuations. The alteration of the Na-
vigation Laws and the lVarek.use System had not only assisted
the commercial but also the agricultural interests. He could not
understand the principle of permitting corn to rot in warehouses, as
was at present the ease, while the market price was 675. and the
owners of the corn in granaries were satisfied to sell theirs at half
that price, at a loss of 66 per cent. Ile concurred ix the spirit and
tenor of the resolution.

Mr. Alderman Woos/ supposed he would be instructed to give
his support to the petition to be pm...elated to the Home of Conte
mons. lie fully concurred in the resolution on which the peskiest
was founded sod he was happy to my he believed it would not
have to contend with the strong opposition that might be mar.
plated in Parliament. Ile thought h would be reduced to a matter
' of pounds. shillings, and penes, am! that the gelatin' weashi
principally whet should be the amount of duty to be laid on loteign
corn when imported into this country.
alr. OLDHAM did not pretend to be as competent as ether
gentlemen to enter into all the details of the subject; but ties
wished to bring to the recollection of the Court a few general
principles applicable to the subject. Mr. Malthus had laid down
the position, that ail nations had • right to procure the articles of
life as cheap as possible. T::e alteration of the Coro Lars, as pre.
posed, would go to erect this, sad thereby enable our manufac-
turers to compete with threign merchants. If food were dearer in
this country than abroad, manufacturers would be compelled to pay
higher wages than foreigners, and in that manner be presentee!
from coming into the market on equal terms. He could not tee any
injury likely to be inflicted upon the agricultural Mutest'. The
ebject of the Legislature should be, to lower the prices of all tom.
!noddies. If this were effected, landholders could afford to lowee
their rents without any loss to themselves or real diminution of their
income. Ile wished to strengthen the hands of the Government,
and he thought it could not be done more effectually than by as
alteration in the existing Corn Laws.
Mr. Alderman WainstataS bad not changed his opinion on
this subject. Ilis mind had undergone no alteration with respect
to the impolicy of the Corn Laws. Ten years ago he had taken an
attire pant in the opposition then given to the measure. He had
on that occasion drawn up a petition to Parliament on the subject.
which received 10,000 signatures in a few hours, and 60,000 in a
very f,w days. The question bad agitated the public mind, and the
City of London had petitioned Parliament against the adoption of
the law. They had said, that if the landed interest was at tUt me.
went under the pressure of difficulties, it arose from •
causes, and they were not entitled to remuneration. Mr. Has-
kisson admitted the principle ; but, as he conceived slits
country was in an artificial situation, be did not see the
impropriety of legislating on the subject. He was glad to
observe that administration was proceeding on jest petheipiss
I respecting the trade and commerce of the country, bet the
part of their course which they had already run would be un-
met in its operation if it were not followed by • modification of'
the Corn Laws. Such a modification ought, in justice and sound
policy, to tollow what has gone before, and he could not doubt due
such was in contemplation. That being the case, he was persuaded
the Court would agree with him that it was right and proper that
they should, in the manner now proposed, strengthen the hands
of Government, second their wishes, and shoe that the whole cone-
! try was with them.
; /qr. DixoN thought that any one rising to oppose the present
measure ought not to do so unless he differed materially from those
who gore it their support. For his part, though many years in
trade, he felt no private interests in the matter before them t at the
same tine he must confess tint he did feels strong bias, whien
urged him to go with the mercantile and manufacturing inmost%
as far as he could. The present Athitinisuatioa bad made mans
and considerable alterations in matters regarding commerce; ano
he was happy to bear testimony to the uprightness of their an.
tensions, and the sincerity of their gond wishes for the prosperity
and happiness of the country; but with regard to the sapient then
before the Court, he felt bound to say, that he differed entirely from
the lion. Mover; and though he might stand alone, be neverthelem
thought it but right to ex press his opinion. He certainly sokutelediso
the wisdom anti expediency of the alterations already made, but we
should be cautious haw we ran into extremes, and vo involve ear.
celves in difficulties unforeseen. As to himself. he was • perfectly
uninterested party, at least when he spoke in favour of the lande.i
proprietors, for he did not possess a pennyworth of land in tt
world ; and in making the observations which he did, be looked to
nothing but the true interests of the State. Notwithstanding a i
that the country had to contend against, he would ethnic that we
enjoyed a state of unexampled prosperity—but prosperity, gee/Tali.
i speaking, should rot be estimated by the quantity of beam«,
done, but by the amount of individual happiness and ooeofort. L
might be it ith nations as with individuals, that those who we:
content with moderate gnins in the regular course of businem, wt:e
more likely to realise a fortune than those bolder speculatoess wl
wore impatient to grow rich suddenly. Excessive wealth, so Li-
from licimz a test of rational happiness, was otlea the forertianet

Considerable delay took pine yesterday morning, owing to the

be generally known that the Court would, on a recurrence of this
culpable neglect, make an osier that such persons as were absent

do so they must submit to the aresequenees.
A 4 ten o'clock the Judges entered the Court, when the following
primer was put to the bar :

unable to employ Counsel. Within the last few days he had got
era )l. Ss. Pd., and he requested to know whether the Court would
esgest to any Gentleman of the Bar to take his brief.
The LORD CRIEY JUST! ov said they conk, give no direction.
At length Mr. BARRY said be would take the brief, and conduct
she yrrisonee's defence.
Me. BotLAND stated the case for the prosecution. The circum-
stances which he had to detail would be very short. The prosecu-
tor Occupied a small farm at Reardon, in Gloucestershire. (At
the request of the prisoner the witnesses were here ordered out of
Coen.) The Learned Counsel proceeded. On Tuesday the Bth of
February the prisoner was at the house of the prosecutor, at which
time the mare in question was in the yard of the letter. On the '
llth of the seine month the mare was mimed by young Meredith,
who informed his father of the circumstance, the result of which '
was inquiries and a pursuit, is consequence of which the mare was
traced to the prisoner's possession. The Learned Gentleman then
detailed the route taken be thermometer, es it has already appeared
in the public prints. He then proceeded to remark upon the note
midge the prieoner wrote and sent with the mare when she was of-
fered for sale. This was an importnnt feature, provided, as he had
no doubt would be the case, that that letter was proved to be in the
handwriting of the prisoner. He would not make a single corn.
inert further on the case, but rely on the testimony of the witnesses
he should call to establish the guilt of the
.prisoner.

told him he considered the price required by the note was too much.
She was eold on the Friday for 20 guineas.
Ale James Eames, the brother of the coach proprietor of that
name, deposed, that the mare he saw at Bow-street was the same
that was sold in the manner described. The note now in Court was
delivered by ',knout° the officer.
Mr. ihunes deposed, that he resides at the Angel Inn'
behind St. Clement s. lie bought the mere in question for the
price already stated, and she was delivered on the same day. The
nay following she was taken possession of by the officer.
%Vm. Cousios depueen that he is a linen-draper, and lives at
Kensington. Has known the prisoner for some dears. Inewin
brought a note directed to him. %Fitness said, he did not know
any person of the name of Thompson—the name subscribed to
the note. Knows the prisonet's hand-writing. The note ad-
deemed to Dixon is in the hand-writing Of the prisoner, with the
character of which witness is well acquainted- The other note pro-
duced is also in the writing of the prisoner.
Cronnexamined by Me. Beang—Frewin gave no reason for
coming with a note; said he brought it from Mr. Thompson.
Did not immediately know the writing then, but can speak with
certainty of it now. Ile destroyed the note.
The witness explained to the Court that he was referring to the
not which was addressed to him.
David Ellis, a Dow-street officer, stated, that on the 18th of
February he appreherded the prisoner, searched his Isereon, and
found some pars and a pair of ocissors in his pocket. Thine now
produced are the same. One of the notes bore the following in-
scription—" Cotter's Arms Inn, Swindon. Wilts ;" below which
there were charges for grog and the feed of a horse. On the back
of this paper was written, " Dixon's Remisitory, Datbicsin,
Feb. 17." In consequence of this direction witness was induced to
go to Dixon's, and he eventually traced the mare which has been
identified by the prosecutor and his son.
Other pa s, Sound on the prisoner, were also put in and read
by the Clerk of the Arraigns, which went to show the route which
the prisoner had taken; they were, however, defective, as but few
of them contained a date. The prisoner's note to Mr. Dixon was
also read. It was signed "M. Cousins."
The prieoner's Counsel now desired that Mrs. Meredith might be
again placed in the witness-box, to which his Lordship seceded.
Mr. BARRY to the witness—Alrs. Meredith, the question which
I am about to put to you is one of the most serious importance to
the penmen and I therefore do hope that you will consiner well
before you answer it, for on it depends, perhaps, the prisoner's life.
Now, upon the solemn oath you have taken, did you at any time
lend or offer to lend the horse in question to the prisoner ?
Witnees—Never, nor did he ever, even in conversation, allude to
such a thing.
Mr. Banns—Did you never say to any body that you had lent
the mare to the prisoner ?
Witness—Never.
Mr. BARAY—Do you know, or did you ever hear your husband
or your son, say that they, or either of them, had lent the mare to
the prisoner?
Witness—Never.
Alr. Bettaer—The prisoner is, I believe, AL distant relation of
yours?
Witness—He is.
nlr. BAIRT—Now I ask you spin, whether, during the two
months the prisoner was residing in your neighbourhood, some.
thing did not pass between you, or your husband, and son, and the
prisoner, regarding the loan of the mare?
Witness--Nothing of the sort.
In answer to a question fronethe Judge, the witness said, that
the last time she saw the prisoner was on the Thursday night.
This was the ease for the prosecution.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—WiIIiam Probert, the case for
the prosecution being now closed, if you have anything to say in
your defence, this is the proper time for you to do so,
The prisoner then rose from his seat, and said, that he would
claim the indulgence of the Court for a short time, in order to ex.
plain the motives which hail induced him to plead not guilty to the
present charge ; he had not so pleaded for the purpose of endea.
vouritg to screen himself from the punishment which was attached
to the crime the which he was then on his triul, but in order to have
an opportunity of saying something in extenuation of his conduct.
He was unfortunately placed beyond the reach of mortal aid—he
was placed without the pale of charity—and it was only to his Clod
he could now look for support in his hour of trial, for all men were
prejudiced against him. He was beset by public animosity, and
that animosity was daily inflamed by the unceasing exertions of the
press, which had not slackened in its endeavours to make him the
victim of prejudice. He could not move from place to place with-
out his route being mnrket and pointed out by the daily papers;
every person turned his beck upon him—every door was shut
against him. The prisoner then alluded to his former trial. True
ft was, he said, that on that occasion his life was spared ; but that
!ife was now rendered useless to him, for ever since his discharge he
had been hunted down like the wild beast of the forest. His situ.
ation was the most forlorn that could be imagined, and he appealed
' to the Gentlemen of the Jury, what. under similar circumstances,
any of them would have done. All he, therefore, asked of the Jury
was, that if-they should perceive any one favourable circum-
stance in his case, they world point it out to his Lordship, by
way of recommendation to mercy; and that if his Lordship
should be able to concur in such recommendation, he
would be pleesed to give him the benefit of it in the proper
quarter. The prisoner then alluded to the manner in which
he was treated by the mob when he returred from the pollee
office, which he attributed entirely to the public preen. He then
again referred to his discharge from Hertford gaol, and said
that ever since that time he had been en the point of starva-
tion; his wife also was similarly situated, and that too at a time
when a female needed the greatest of comfort'. She had only re-
cently been put to bed, and was destitute of a home and of food.
Upon her account he wherefore implored the merciful consider-
ation of the Court. Since his discharge at Hertford, he had used
all his endeavours to get abroad, but they had proved ineffectual.
He could assure the Court that he felt most poignantly his preteens,
situation, particularly when ha compared it with the happiness and
comforts he once enjoyed. When he was in prosperity be was ever
ready to alleviate the misfortunes and distresses of others, but now
no kind hand was held forth to relieve him. Looking at all the
circumstances of his unfortunate case, he trusted that the Court
would consider him Tether as an object of commiseratiotithan of
severe sentenix, and be therefore again implored the Jury, that if
they saw any 'favourable trait in his case they would recommend
him to the mercy of the Court. He thanked them for the patient
manner in which he had been heard.
[During the di livery of this address., the prisoner appeared to be
somewhat affected. Ile spoke in a very low tone of voice, and was
at dines innudible.l
The Lome CHIEF JUSTICE asked the prisoner's Counsel if he
intended to call any witnesses ?
Alr. Beane( replied M the negative.
The LOYD Come JUSTICE proceeded to charge the Jury. lie
stated the nature of the indictment, and then implored the Jury to
dismiss from their minds all prejudices that they might have
imbibed from any reports of transaction!' in which the prisoner
might have been formerly engaged. The Jury were to try him to-
day upon the evidence they themselves had just heard, and upon
that only. His Lordship then went through the whole of the evi-
dence, with his accustomed perspicuity, and left the question of the
prieoner'e guilt or innocence entirely to the Jury.
The Jury very shortly returned with a verdict of Guilty—
Decfh.
A tier the prisoner was taken from the bar, we understand that he
was visited by his aged and &Meted mother. The interview lasted
for a considerable time.
CUTTING AND MAIMING.
William Darby, weaver, and Meek, his wife, were indicted for
cutting and stabbing Vnilliam Wine, with intent to kill.
The prosecutor, a gold and silver wiredrawer, stated, that about
three weeks ago the prisoner called upon him at his lodgings, for
the purpose, as he stated, of making up an old quarrel. After
drinking a pot cf porter and name gin, the prisoner's wife, who had
in the mean time been taking tea with his wife, turned suddenly
upon the prosecutor, saying "if lie owed her Bill any Oilman,
lie was to take it out of her," and struck him a blow ; and upon Ins
saying he would send her to the watchhouse, called him and his
wile many foul names. A man named Green, who happened to be
present, interfered between the contending
.parties, and the pri.
SObera than left hie room, hut upon his going into the street, he met
them again, and the female prisoner attempted to claw his face.
He knocked her down, and upon tier advancing again for the same
purpose, he repeated the blow. The husband then attacked him, and
upon their closing, he felt a sharp pain as if from the wound of
some sharp instrument. They were finally separated, and meant%
returning home he found he had received a cut which was not yet
healed.
Upon his cross-examination by Mr. LAY:, he admitted that the
feuiale prisoner was his own wife's sister ; that the mole prisoner,
he had heard, was ruptured ; that he had knocked the female pri-
soner down twice before the husband interfered ; and that be. had
knocked him down every time he approached him.
Mr. Justice PULL here interposed, and informed the Jury, that
by a clause in that Act comiuonly caned Lord Ellenboroughhi, un-
der which the prisoners were indicted, should it appear upon the
trial, if death ensued, that the crime would nut amount to murder,
but manneughter, then the Judge was to direct the acquittal of the
priconer : in this MC it was manifest that the prisoner had been
I much irritated by seele.g his wife knocked down so many times,
and as, from the provocation, it could not be maintained that if the
prisoner had inflicted a mortal wound he would have been guilty of
murder, lie (the Learned Judge) felt it to be his duty to direct that
the prisoners should be =pitted.
The Jury thaw pre their verdict accordingly.

BIBLE MEETING.

Yesterday a general meeting of the Southwark Auxiliary Bible
Society was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington.
C. BARCLAY, Esq. on being called to the Chair, said, he would
not detain the meeting, as other Gentlemee, better able to speak oa
the subject, would address them. He would merely express a
hope, that every Gentleman would confine himself as much as pos-
sible to the object which called them together, and not touch on any
of these controversial topics, which produced so much bad feel-
ing elsewhere.
The Rev. Mr. CLAYTON then read the report for the last year;
it was very voluminous. It appeared from it that since the formation
of the Society, 25,235 Bibles had been distributed by it ; of these
12,105 in the immediate district. The report also set forth, that
the sum raised during the same period was 25.7691- of which
17,168 f. was raised by general subscription. The report, farther
stated, that the sum paid within the last year to the treasurer of the
Parent Society, was 1,0001. Iss. Cti.
Sir. JOHN Po Y NTER moved that the Report be adopted by the
Meeting. He expressed his admiration of the candour and Christian
feeling that .ervaded it, and to the Almighty God he offered up the
tribute of his thanks for the signal success that attended the progress
of that cause which be and his fellow-Christians around him were
labouring to forward. It had been said by a favourite autism of his
(Flavel) that every individual was either working his salvation or
eternal damnation—that he beloagesi either to God or to the devil.
' Taking that for Ilia text, hewould divide his observations into two
parts—lit, he would advert t 4 those who belonged to Clod, and
then turn to the votaries of Satan. With regard to the first class,
the question presented itself, How have they become so ? by what
means have they received the graze of the Almighty ? for man was
" born unto sin ;" naturally he was Lot righteous—from his birth
he was doomed to a state of affliction and guttering, from which low
state how could he have been raised but by t he divine truths of the word
of God ? Well had the inspired writer exclaimed, " Lord, what is
man ?" What was he but a poor degraded being ? So too he would
hare continued, had no' the benign condescension of the Almighty
interposed to rescue him from his fallen state—to exalt him to hap-
piness—to bless him with all the endearments of life—and finally to
lift him from that misery in which, but for him, he was Irretrievably
fixed, to an equality with swells. There were now many young
Timone present ;to them he particularly addressed himself—to them
he would speak as to his own young children—" Cultivate," lie
would say to them, " an acquaintance with the sacred truths of the
word of God, nor be wanting In your exertions to communicate to
others those blessings which yourselves enjoy. Those sacred truths
will eunmue to you your greatest comfort and blessing. To me
hare they ever through life been an invaluable source of enjoyment
—through the little atones of this world they have been. as
it were, the wine und oil of sty disturbed and agi:ated spirit."
The Honourable Gentleman, alter some further observations,
said, that if any dtmbt existed in the mind as to the advan.
tages of a reliance on the Scriptures, or as to the consolation
afforded by then to us in our last moments, that doubt would bare
been removed by a scene lie witnessed a few days hack. Ile was
attending at the sick couch of a dying friend. His friend, almost
in the agony of death, exclaimed to him. " For God's sake let me
base ooe grasp of my Bible before I die." Could such a scene fail
in moving any person not insensible to the blessings of divine
grace ? There was that dying titan—all around him—this world,
and all his dearest tier., lading fast from his view--before him all
chaos and uncortainty—yet, resting his band on the ?leered gift of
God, lie knew no danger. He with confidence meets his fate.
Mr. Poyr.der went on to say, that he would now advert to the
second class of persons of whom he before talked; namely, those
who were puma:lig a ccrase which must inevitably lead to hell ;

I and he would ask, did not they call for our immediate assistance ?
I Ought not we to help them, poor dying creatures like ourselves ?
Should we not adopt some means to arrest their fatal progress—to
call them back to God, and to a participation of the ince:linable
blessing of salvation ?No time should be lost—a day, nay a second,
and it might be too late. They had all seen a melancholy proof of the
uncertainty of human life, in the melancholy fate of a Reverend
Clergyman who was stru:k in the midst of his duty and usefulness.
True it was he perhaps was •• ripe for his rest;" but how many of
those to whom he before alluded would be prepared to meet their
God on so short a notice?—how many of us all were at this
moment in a state to meet a sudden death? Mr. Poyntier, after
some cbservations as to the necessity of attending closely to the
precepts laid down in the common charter of salvation, declared
that it was almost impos.ible to calculete the great mass of Mil-
ddity anti atheism then abroad. it was but a few days back that a
married lady told him she found it impossible to live with her
daughters in Brighton, from the gross disregard to religion pre-
vailing there; that the demoralized state of society in that town
was such as to make her leave it. Foe his own part, it was his
heart's desire that he receive the word of God as his sole rule and
guidance during life; and that when about to depart to his eternal
resting place—when quitting his family and dearest friends—when
the enjoyments, the pleasures, and social endearments of this
transitory life were fading fast away. and the vista of eternity open-
ing on Ins view, lie prayed to God that then, at that awful moment,
the consolations of religion may be afforded him, to cheer him on
his way.
The Rev. Mr. Bnattonox, one of the Secretar:es to the British
and Foreign Bible Society, seconded the motion. He begged to
thank the Meeting for the contributions made to the fund-of the
parent society. The Rev. Gentleman then detailed at some length
the exertions of the British and Foreign Bible Society. Among
the many grants made by it was one of one hundred Bibles to the
Sandwielt Islands ; it was made at the instance of Lord Bexley.
The Bibles were taken out by the present Lord Byron, and it must
be matter of congratulation to every ore that that Nobleman
should lend his aid to the great cause. lie did not mention the
conduct-:f that Nobleman to contrast with the principles of his
predecessor; but he could not refrain from mentioning the circum-
stance of the difference.

The Report was then agreed to.
The Rev. Row tarn HILL said, that no one could for a MO-
ment doubt the benefits derived from the light of grace ;_who but
contracted the conduct of its recipients utth that of the persons
who have not enjoyed such a blessing? lie had already. that
morning, preached one sermon—that was quite enough for a day.
(A laugh.) He would not, therefore, trouble them with a second.
He had in his hand a copy of the Acts of the Apostles, and of the
Gospel of at. John, translated into the Otabeitan language ; the
translation was very creditable to the persons engaged in it, and
altogether it was most exceedingly well put out of hands. The
Rev. Gentleman went on to say that he always made blunders
when he made speeches ; he would therefore content himself with a
short one then. (A laugh.) He concluded with -moving a vote of
thanks to Earl Spencer, President of the Society.
The Rev. Doctor Svmxtover seconded the motion, and it
was agreed to.
Resolutions of Thanks were next voted to Benjamin Shaw, Esq.
the Treasurer, and calm. Officers of the Society • to the Officers of
the several District Societies ; and to those Ladies who exerted
themselves in behalf of the Society.
A vote of Thanks was next passed to the Chairman, and the
Meeting separated.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE ASSIZES.—G Lora:yrs', Aran. 6.

CROWN SIDE.
[ Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.]
F,ermort was indicted for stealing his owa cloth from the
cart of Joseph Roach, with intent to charge the said Joseph Roach
with the value of the same.
Mr. Twiss stated the case to the Jury, and then called the fol-
lowing witnesses.
James Eiliott said—l work for Mr. Roach, and did so in the
month of December last. I know the prisoner ; I went to his house
on the 17th of December, and received four pieces of black cloth ;
I was to carry them to my master, for him to " mose" them ;
" :nosing" is a process by which the cloth receives a smooth face
after dyeing. I put them into my master's cart with the assistance
of the prisoner and Mr. Richard Partridge. When I got home,
two of the pieces of cloth were missing ; they were the two which
lay uppermost in the cart. I went back to the prisoner's house and
told him that two of the pieces of cloth were lost out of the cart, but
by what means I did not know, it was so dark.
Cross-examioed by Mr. Luni.ow.—l did not miss the cloths
till I got home ; that was at about six o'clock ; they were put on
the cart at four. The distance I had to go was only two miles. 1
had taken up a great many other cloths. I stopped at Mr. Fry's
and at Mr. Bowles s, and I left my cart standing in the street at
both these places, while I went in to get the cloths they had to
send. At that time the prisoner had one of his arms its sling.
Harriet Bateman said, I was formerly in the prisoner's employ
but lam not so now. I remember the time when these cloths
were sent to 31r. Roach's. On the day after I went into my mas-
ter's (the prisoner) back kitchen, at about eight o'clock in the
' Morning. 1 saw some cloths there ; he is a maker of cloths ;
pad he employ e.l me •to •'burr them. The cloths are all num.
kvair-liettlferenlllolool...---Ofte of rite pieces 1 caw is the

kitchen was awn •• IA I am sure l'burled that cloth :
one side of it ass dirty. saw try master soon after, and said, the
two"cloths which were lost from Mr. Roach's tart last night are now
in the brewhouse. The prisoner said, those ATCJICH mine, but some
one els4's; go you in and mind your work. Aly mistress sent me up
stabs; and when 1 was on the top of the stairs, I brud my master

I saw my master in the garret, and he said, " Don't say any thing

and did not sleep there. Two or three other girls worked on the
cloth as I did. The prisoner is a manufacturer of cloth. I did not
, stop to listen on the top of the stairs. My master spoke loud. I
never asked for the two pounds. I know Mr. Dash the is my bro-
ther.tn-law. I know also a person named Earl—be never kept
eonipany with me ; I know that be and Dash were charged with
stealing the prisoner's cloth. Earl turned King's evidence—that
was in January. I ulleeil about the cloth in the back kitchen, and
forgot my promise to say nothing. I never gave information of it
till after January. I should not have given information about it
when I did, but it reached Mr. Roach's ears. Partridge sleeps in
a room over the bark-kitchen. I saw the cloths lyingon a barrel;
I looked at the number chalked up at house when I went home to
dinner. The cloths were wetted before they were sent to Mr.
Roach's, and were heavy ; a ruin having one arm in a sling
could not carry, them. I know the shop kept by Air. Jen..
Dings. I have been there, but I don't riainember one of
the shopmen coming out after me. I do 't remember
dropping a pair of stays after I came out of that shop. The
people of the shop charged me with taking a parcel away. A
young man stopped me in the street, and charged we with stealing
a pair of stays. At the time he so charged me there was nobody
near,

before a :Magistrate. I gave a correct account then, and told all
I recollected. I told the Meglterate all I told to.day. I did not
tell him about the offer of the two pounds. I did tell him of what
my master said to my mistress, that I pet as deep es the Devil.
I now remember that I did tell the *gist:ate about the offer of
the two pounds.
Mr. JUStICe LITTLEDALE asked the prgsreutor's Counsel,
whether he thought it neetaaary to press the eau on the evidence of
such a witness as this'? It was quite that r.o reliance could
be placed on her testimony. Ilia Lordship directed the Jury to
acquit the prisoner.
The Jury turned round in die box, and after a few minutes the
Judge wished to know whet difficulty they fel:
The Foreman of the Jury said, that lie thought they ought not
to trust the girl's evidence, but some of the other jurors the:iglu

The was an infortnatTonie&natureola quo warrant°, exhi-
bited against Mr. Hawthorn, to try his right to be a Burgess of
the Borough of Staffiird.
The case occupied the whole of the day, but the question turn.
in g on the construction of a charter of King Jamec the First, and
of a by-law of the corporation made in the year 1793, the details
did not possess the slightest public interest.

A curious question has arisen between the Authorities
of the Island of Antigua and Admiral Jacob, the Governor
of Guadeloupe. Nine Negroes, wh.l had made their
escape from Guadeloupe, and landed on Barbuda, a small
island near to Antigua, and who appeared to be recently
imported Africans, had been brought from that place to
Antigua, by the Superintendent of Barbuda, and delivered
over to the Collector of the Customs at Antigua. A few
days afterwards there arrived at Antigua a vessel with
despatches from Admiral Jacob, at Guadeloupe, claiming
the Negroes above-mentioned ; but the claim was resisted,
and the Negroes were detained to await the decision of
the Court of Vice-Admiralty on the subject. What added
very much to the interest felt on behalf of these slaves,
was the circumstance of their having, to all appearance,
been forcibly taken away, at no distant period, from their
original homes.
Weare sorry to state, the latest intelligence from Demerara
gives a rumour of a great public defaulter in that colony.
We have received his name, and the public situation he
held at Georgetown, but we forbear giving the particulars
until they arc confirmed by further arrivals.—Globe and

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

lit.

THIRD DAT-WEDNESDAY.
The weather doting the day has been very fine, the beat
of the sun being relieved by a gentle breeze on the Heath
the company, however, was not so numerous as on the
preceding days, nor was the sport so good, as most of the
stakes were won easy.
Great expectations are entertained of to-morrow's Races,
there being six of them, in one of which Rufus, who has
begu to cut out some Derby horses, runs against the Duk,_,
of York's colt, by Phantom, out of a sister to Parisot, one
of the favourites fur the Derby, and who, it is supposed.
will be a teaser.
Tho race to-day between Tontine and the Duke of
York's Whalebone colt was productive of great interest
amongst the betting men, the former having arrived at the
same odds as Aline for the Oaks ; her defeat has thrown
her back to 9 to 1, and Pipylina seems to be approaching
Aline very fast, the odds against her being only 6 to 1.
while last week it was 14 to 1.
His Royal Highness, as usual, attended the Cours::
during the Races on his grey cob ; after which he reterrtd
to the Palace.
There have been several fresh arrivals, and a few de-

partures. There were present—
The Dukes of Portland, Rutland, and Grafton.
Alarquisses—Graliam and Thohfield.
Lords--Stradbrooke, Vert'kiln, Sefton. Jersey, Lowther, Or- ^ 4

The Duke of Portland, during the Races, was in his
moveable stand, which presented a very gay appearance.
The following Noblemen dined at the rooms:—
The Dukes of Portland and Grafton, Marquis of Titclifiell.
Earls Lowther and Verulam, Lords G. Bentinck, F. Ilentinck. and

Ariel, and the Sens colt, came away together, and made all the
running head and head, until within the ropes, when the race was
won with great difficulty by Ariel. Macduff was beat before he got
to the T Y C, and in running down the Abingdon little Bottom, he
was beat off five or six lengths ; in consequence of which many of
the knowing ones were let in fur it, as he was a very great favourite
before starting.
The winner was rode by Robinson, :Seim by F. Boyce, and
Macduff by Arnull.
Sweepstakes of 100 p. each, h. ft. for the produce of Mares covered

Duke of Grafton's filly Tontine, by Election out of Pope Joan
In the early part of the race there was but very little running
made, but about half way they let loose, and it was soon seen by
the spectators that the Whalebone colt was winning easy, which
greedy runonished and mortified the backers of Tontine who must
have smarted for their high opinion of her, for just before starting
there were many take= at heavy figures that she won this race and
the Oaks. Goodison rode the winner, and Buckle Tontine.
Sweepstakes of 209 sovereigns each, h. ft., for colts, Oat. 71b.

TWTLVE AT WIGAT.—The Duke of York, accompanied by
the Duke of Rutland, Lord C. Manners, and J. Douglas, Esq.
visited the Rooms about ten o'clock this evening, there being a
card party.
The following match was made, to run on Saturday.
Mr. Oterille's logic, ast. 101 b. against Lord Orford's Orion,
Last. 21b. T. Y. C. 6t04 on Logic.
We never knew so great a fluctuation in betting as there has
been to-day, from morning to evening. Rufus. at the Rooms this
morning, began and left off as yesterday. After his ram to-day
he was 3e to I ; and to-night he went back to 4to 1. For the
Oaks the alteration is material. Tontine has receded 5 points.
while Pipylina and Pastime are advancing. The betting through-
out the day has been very strong, and on those of the day partial-
July so. The knowing ones were on the wrong side of the post es
to Macduff and Tontine, both of whom were backed at large odds
by them. The odds were as follows

6 to 1 sgst Rufus
