DARING BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED
MURDER.

Between two and three o'clock last Saturday morning,
Mr. J. P. Tudor, a geolleman who holds a situntioo is the
Bank, and resides No. 14, Bath Terrace, Newington, was
alarmed by a strange 'whir which seemed to proceed from
the passage. At first be thought it was probably caused by
the cat, but preseutly it seemed to ascend the stairs sod he
plainly beard some one trying his bedroom door; he got up
as cautiously as possible, and eeirleavouriol to opt. the
door, but his efforts were resisted by some sue outside.--•
After mock difficulty, he succeeded in forcing it, and
plainly heard a moo rooming down stairs; he railed to his
otau-serwant, who slept below, to stop him, and at that
Matsui heard what he conceived to be the report of a pistol
close to his head, and soother man rushed swiftly by him
dews the stairs. Having °Maimed a light, he proceeded to
examine the house, and discovered that the deicers entered
by cutting a panne! out of the street door; he then went up
stairs to ore where the ball had lodged, but found that the
Noise which he took to be that of a pistol, had bees. caused
by • blow which the ruffian aimed at him wish n crow. bar,
bat which took effect against, the willows., sod forced use
of the panels completely out ! This is the 'erred time
that Mr. Todur's has been hruheu open daring the last

At the Coronation of King GEORGE IL, his
MAJESTY, as a pail of the ceremony. kissed the
Archbishop and Bishops as they knelt before him,
one after another. The late Kirin omitted this
part of the ceremony. which had been practised for
centuries before on similar occasions.
An Address to her -MAJESTY bee been forwarded
to Mr. Duns. M.P. bf the iiihabitanis of Ding.
wall, in Scotland. The Address has upward* of
400 signatures.
We are informed that the Address to her MA.
JESTY, voted at the Elieliezer Chapel, Truro, last
week, has received upwa►ds of 800 signatures.
Mr. KEDIBLE, we learn, is arrived in town, after
■ too; visit to the Continent, in good health
spirits.

We have heard that King Caniria's anniversary
was celebrated at Blyth with great glee. A speech
was made, in which it was held that as CROPIN was
the sole inventor of shoes, they should hold him up
as their oracle to the last. The health of the QUERN
was drunk with entlimiasin; that of Mr. BROUGHAM
was also drank with great applenve, and a few re.
marks followed, to the effect that he had so tightly
fitted her MAJESTY'S persecutors, that they wi.uld
be crippled to the cad of their lives. The minim'',
waxed warm, and the thread of argumentation
lengthened, till at the finish they awl brushed off
to • hair.

tradesmen, of Ills town, wlur waited on Ur. Madoelte, that
worthy and patriotic Gentleman, with an Address of (on-
gnstulatiuu her Majesty the Queen's safe arrival in this
country, sad CllO.lOll.llCe under her very revere and trying
cirtumstancest, I could nut help observing some very uhvi.
cum and untrue reflections, not only cast on them in general,
but also on myself it, partieularom composing part of that De-
pilation. Before you assert any thing in print, as free, I hope,
us any future occasion, you will please to get better in-
formed. You have, without the least hesitation, expressly
Raid, that lam es Alloraeis Clerk. It is trne I was bound
or a■ Article Clerk to the late Mr. Hugh Bold, in the par
1765, and regularly served my time ; since which 1 have
been admitted an Attorney ■nd Solicitor of the Court of
Coral Sessions for the several Counties of Glamorgan.
Brecon, and Radnor, and am nowcand have he-.a fur Many
years past, one of the Chancery Clerks on that Circuit ;
and it you, worthy and Reverend Sir, had only taken the
trouble to look into the Law List publbhrd every year. you
might hare area my name inserted with the rest of the
Attormys fur several years hark. That being the raw,
must rail on you, in the fare of the public, to retract its
false, what you have so unjustly and unfairly a ted se
irsie,-se it may be very kilo illas to my character se a pro-
fessional man. And as to your asserting that it sees only
some of the lowest, and not any of the respectable Trades-
/ma of the Town who signed Ike Address, I must also flatly
otstrailirt that as false, as I can take atom myself to inure
th it many of them are men of independent props rty ;
should you ever write a public isildrem again, I
would advise yon, as a flereputon, whose character should
be ousel/led a.•d unspoiled, to get better informed berme
• oil publish your sentiments to the world. Conscience is
is carrel psinenyle, and over which you, Sir, nor any men
:soon the face of the earth, can have any control; therefore,
having acted 11p011 that principle, I must say, that in my
*pinion, you had 110 right whatever to interfere, as nothing

endanger the King Or the Constitution, ■nd which King and
Constitution 1 always did, sod ever shall, as a man sad

• CHAS. f•B. I I. D,
As much au Enemy to Anatehy and Confusion as to
Tyranity mid Oppression.

TO THE REV. RICII %RD DAVIES, AIICIIDEaCoN
OF IHRECOY.
MAR Sota—The very high respect I entertain for you
personally, makes me very anxious. that any thing studs
tomes from your pen, in which my name is natal, should be
put on right grounds. lam sure your 'therel and fair mind
would wish the same, and yen would be equally sorry wish
• anysi If that any act of mine should be misrepresented, or
misronstrued, through your means. 'As what yun hare
• said respecting me is its print, lam under the necessity of
resorting to Ilse same channel, though I have ever bad a hor.
,or of a newspaper correspondence, in which this is my first
appearance, as I hope it will lie my last.
Notwithstanding the pulite manner in which you mention
my 113111 e, the substance of your letter in the last Cowie/an
implies throughout, that I had, by presenting the Address
from Hrecou, dune something that 5553 " true servant to his
Cod ur his King" ought to do. I should very much regret
that your respectable pen should induce any portion of the
piddle to entertain such an erroneous notion of my conduct
upon this occasion, or of my principles, views, and objects,
on any other whirls may occur in my political life.
I yield to no man iu my attachment to the House of
Erutisivir k. They came the harbingers, soil were called to
the Throne to he the preservers of public liberty. My prio-
ri ssiosis, however, air not theoretical but practical ; and if
any one of those privilege of the people, which they were
calif', to assert and defend, is snore a:doable than another,
or ::::: re particularly go:oiled by the Bill of Right., it is
fr. Muni (docents 11l the ear of Parliament and of the Royal
Family. The psinciple, therefore, which governed me on
this occasion, and which, though a Member of the House of
(*.famous nearly half my life, I hive toter beard contro-
. Tr-tht, is—first, that, when a Member of the House of
tronimuns is elected by his particular Conatituents, he be-
comes s•irinally the Representative of the whole Nation, and
is lamod to obey any portion of the people when they re-
quire his cervices; and, secondly, 11155 110 31f101w1` of Par-
I Anoint can ronstitutioually refuse to present any Address,
Petition, or Remonstrance, provided it is couched in re.
•pretful language, however it may differ from his opinion;
or
the suhj. et.
heu, timers fore, the Brecon Address was brought me,
with a 'epos' to torrent it, my first duty was to observe, if •
I tie cult taut, and the language weir reapeetful—and my next
11..ty was, when "(apnoea, to present it. The &nog so did
not bind me as a party to the sentiments contained in it, fur
it happens every day, in bulb Houses of Parliament, that
Members present Petitions cootainitig opinions diemetrically
opposite to their own. If this he 511, with, reap, rt to Peti-
t !fins which con.tiintionally come from every class of the
people, usually conieioing a statement of grievances, or
stone dissatisfaction at the measures then pending, how
much snore b:anseable Amalfi I have beau ill refusing to pre.
sent an Address to the Member of the Royal Family next to
Itlaj,”fly itself,in which nothing was stated but what breathed
unint loyal, sormarehiral, and midi-republican sentiments?
You say the Address was studiously kept from your sight.
%Irby studiously, it is not fur me to divine—l had nu con.
corn in it—it did out originate with me—l neither prompted
aro:. pi imoted it, our did I behold it till it was brought to
we in its completed form; but I must beg leave to say,
Cist, instead of its bring kept studiously out of your sight,
I regret that yon did sot see- it ; for, if I recollect the first
paragraph, wherein her Majesty is condoled with on the loos
of her Illustrious Relatives, I feel confident, from your
well known benevolent character, you would at least have
subscribed to that part of it. In the second paragraph, Inv
Majesty is congratulated on her safe return to her don de
Ilium'. Any friend to the House of Brunswick might safely
sign this, which is at least no uncommon ceremony, if not
an affectionate feuding. And the third and Int paragraph,
expressing a ferveiii hope that the Queen may come out of
her trial with her innocence vindicated, must be that to
which any Christian, any Eitchshmati, any person who re.
vent the laws, soy " faithful servant to his God and his
Xing," might sign, without being stigmatised as am enemy
to his cutiotry.
He offeirds the laws frilly, anti Vil/1111a, the best principles
of British jostler, who prejudges any sue guilty before they
are convicted. To preamble every one innocent till they are
proved to Ise otherwise, the law requires, religinti dictates,
mid dimity enjoins. If then the people in addressing the
Queen, show that they du nut withdraw their food upiiiiun
till slit• la ineuutestably proved to be guilty, I for sue cannot
blame them. They are at least generous. The law says
they are just—and, with all my respect for all classes of so-
ciety, so mutually useful and necessarily dependant on each
'other, I most say, I admire a s.-usr of justice as much in
the lowest as I taped to find 11111 the highest.
- Cpon the abstract question of the guilt or the inn
of the Queen, I hare delivered so opiliont. I expressly stated
lu throe who brought me the Address, that I hound myself
10 none by preterniag it ; and Hot, as I was likely to be one
'Ober judges, it do: out become use to give publicly any
op or the !vide ree be fore it was coaclothd.
Under all these circumstances, I taniitit help remarking.
Wok it very hard that a Member of Parliament, in the
attempt to discharge his duty cousoieut Mealy, and that upon
proiciples so obvious, and so generally admitted as alert
I -have taken the liberty to state, should beheld tip as a
Jacobin or Radical, or whatever iuse vague soul undefined
trims imply. If the proceeding which you runitrino au
"much, amid the parties CUIICe/0,41 in it, are so contemptible
111 timber and character, I wonder they did tort meet with
your contempt ; and fur myself, who viewer, I bope,uhtraile
nay sentiments at any time where a &Mortice of opinion is
out totems d, I canonf conceive how so quiet and iiioffensive
a being, as I wish Jo he, can !Jejunity or catirrintewily clevat-
d to the importance which your loon attack has raised we
ru ; fur it is impossible, iu the observations you have made,
not to consider alsyse4f its touch blamed and pointed at as any
of the lamina you so completely and specificalty despise.
But it is out toy business to defend the Add sssss or those
who signed it, numerous as they are, and respectable, as I
bum, many to Ire : I have only to Wend soy reasons for
presenting it, and to skew that I was governed not by
" vanity," but political orthodoxy. 'Proud offullowing your
. letatiopir es say other occasion, I have abstalaed from doing

i
