ELECTION OF AN ALDERMAN.

Wednesday a very nutiterous Meetin,; of the inha-
bitants of the Ward of Cheap took place in St. Law.
rence's Church, for the purpose of electing an Alder-
man in the room of S. Goodbehere, Esq. deceased.
_ _ _

_ .
'f lie Lord Mayor tool the Chair at two o'clock.
Mr. James, after a warm eulogium ou the deceased
Mmzistrate, prsposed It. Rothwell, Esq Citizen and
Fishmonger, as his inccestor. The grounds on which
be recommended hint were, that he had been long
known in the Ward for his steady attachment to the
King and Constitution ; and at the same time a sup-
porter of the Rights of the People.
Mr. Gibbous, in u short speech, proposed Sir T. Bell
Rat. •

Sir Tl►nmas sutured the Meeting that had he known
Mr. Rothwell would have become a Candidate, he
would nut have offered. himself; and that, being now
a,surcd of that Gentleman's concurrence with the views
of those who proposed him, he should, without hesita-
tion, withdraw his pretensions. Sir Thomas then re-
tired amidst the approbation of the meeting.
The Lord Mayor then put the question, when al-
most every hand was held up fig Mr. Itothwell, on
which his Lordship declared that Gentleman duly
erected.

Mr. Bothwell, who had just' arrived from Yorkshire,
then said, that fceline• it was the prevailing sentiment
of the Ward that he should be put in nomination, and
having made up his mind to attend to the duties that
would necessarily devolve to him, with a real that
would supply an excuse for.deficiencies in other respects,
he now presented himself.—W knew that his etforts
would fall short of those which rendered the -character
of Alderman Coodbehere so estimable ; bat he knew,
at the same time, that all possible assistance would be
rendered to him by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen,
upon occasions which his espericnce might not reach,.
and he most heartily thanked those who now supported
him, tbr the manner in which they received hiui, and
still more for tl:eir conduct during his absence. This
awed' was received with great applause.
Mr. Gibbous named u Resolution, that the Ward had
sus:ained a severe. loss by the death of Alderman Good-
bel are, whose judgment, liberality, industry, and ur-
banity of manners, endeared him to the inhabitants of
the Ward ; and that his death was not only a loss to
the Ward, but to the Nation. The last observation
was, however, objected to ; on which Mr. a limited
the extent of the loss to the City of London ; when the
Resolution was put and unanimously agreed to.
Thursday the Lord Mayor held his first Court of
Common Council, which was numerously attended.
-Auer the proceedings of the last meeting bad been
read, _ _ _

Mr. Deputy Hanman moved a vote of thanks to the
late Lord Mayor, which was seconded by Mr. Dixon,
and unanimously agreed to. Ordered to be fairly
transcribed, signed by the Town Clerk, properly em
blazoned, and presented to his Lordship.
't he customary presLnt of a purse of fifty guineas was
unanimously voted to the Rev. I. J. Cory. Chaplain to
the late Lord Mayor, in testimony of the approbation
of the Court.

hIARIAGROUGIi STREET.

On \Wednesday a ease of the most outrageous description -
was heard at this office. Mr. WIII. 1110WII, who is said to be
part owner and iiiiver of the Beading and Newbory -stage- '
roach, was brought before the Magistrate, by virtue of a
warrant that had been issued against him. lir. Life, a gen.
Britian of great respectability, stated, that a few days
lie was proceeding to Reading by the stage ; before he meant.
oil the coach, he had inquired of the person who 11441 the
charge of the horses, whether the seat by the coachman oil the
bow Sas engaged ; being unit wered in the negative, lie took
his seat thereon. Shortly after the prisoner Caine, and rudely .
aildresiang Mr. Le', desired hiin to gait his seat, it being •
eng4q;ed by d Baronet (Sir George Dyer). Mr. Lee answered,
ll' any gentleman appeared to claim the seat, he would relic-.
quisli it, bat not on the inandoe of the coachman. The pri-
soner. waisuat ceremony, collared Mr. Lee, and eirleas unrest
to fusee him from J.:at ; Mr. Lee resisted. The coach.
111411 being unable to ascomplisb his object, left, fs4r the pair. -
pose, as be said. of calling a constable, but retail nett with
there or four ceded', and with violence Mr. Lee was dislodged. .
Sir George Dyer expressed himself disgusted at the infamous
proceeding, and 'assured Mr. Lee his conduct had been
gentlemanly, and the coachman merited p • lucent. Under
these circumstances Mr. Lee preferred his charge of assault
against biol. The Magi•trate immediately demanded good
nors.lies 1•ro.s1 the prisoner to answer the complaint at the en
suing sessions.

4•Nlatt•?; ; best lie v:islied to put the goestiott to his Lord •
ship, whether the profits atid emoluments of the office of
clerk of tie• peace could be imssigneil. His Lordship was aware
that by the statute of Edward VI., certain ()dices were de.
Glared incapable of being sold, and the W 01•153 of the act were,
that no offices cold,' be sold which " anywise touch or con-
certi the administration and execution of justice." He hum-
bly submitted the this was an office winch came under that
desetiptitm. It was upon the same principle that the half
pay of au officer iii the arms was trot assignab!e, and he consi-
dered that the office of clerk of the peace stood precisely iu
the same sit/Est:on. He thought at least that the Court ought .
to pause before it ,came to a filial determination. There
was also another consideratiou, that the profits of this office
were so extremely small, not exceeding in the whole above
1601. a year, and consisting of a vast variety of small sums of
money, of which one Chilling was the smallest, and twenty-five
shillings the largest amount received at one time. He appre- •
heuiled that the appointment ofir receiver under these circum-
stances would be almost itugetory, as the expense of the ap-
pointment 'night be greater than the sum received.
Mr. Hart did not Olio!: that the case of a lialf.pay ofiicer '
applied in this instance, because the clerk of the peace was
capable of filling the office by deputy, and an officer in the
army had no such power. He was very ready to admit that
it was a question for the consideratiou of the Court whether
this office was assignable, hit he conceived that his Lordship
would have no difficulty in ordering that the fluid be impound-
ed until au opportunity WM given to (litmuss the question. In
the case of Sir li atkin Lewes and Smith, it would be recol•
lected the Court granted what lie now required. With re-
spect to the observation that the unolnuteuts of this office
were of a very trilling amount, he was disposed to give the
defendant every possible accommodation, and he agreed that
there would be no occasion for any receiver if the amount of
the prutits were paid to some responsible person.
Mr. Shadwelf said, that if his Lordship thought the profits
of the office were assignable, be had no objection •to the pro-
position.
The Lord Chancellor granted the 'order for the appoint-
ment of a, receiver, reserving that question fur future consi-
deration.

TRIAL OF HUSSEY,

FOR THE MURDER OF MR. BIRO AND MARY
SINIMONS, AT GREENWICH.

MAIDSTONE, FRIDAY, JULY 31.

The Court was this morning crowded at an early
hour by people attracted by the interest of Hussey's
trial, against whom a true bill was found on Wednesday
for the murder of Mr. Bird and his housekeeper, at
Greenwich, on the 7th of February last. Hussey was
brought to the bar and .arraigned on two indictments,
for the murder of Mr. Bird and his maid-servant.
The prisoner was well dressed Ls a black coat and
waistcoat, and mixed pantaloons, and appeared com-
posed, both in his manner of entering the Court, and
in his mode of answering the questions put to him on
his arraignment.. He is rather a tall man, with a mild
looking countenance, and possessing much the appear-
ance of a person above his rank in life.
When the Clerk of the Arraigns put to him the
usual questions, " guilty or not guilty," and how would
he be tried, he answered with a firm tone, and with
somethinglife a practised manner, " Not Guilty," and
he would be tried by Gotland his country.

He was accused, as is stated in his arraignment, of
the murder of Mr. Bird, of Greenwich, by giving him
several mort►l blows on the head. on Saturday the 7th
of February last. A model of the premises was exhi-
bited in Court, representing the situation of Mr. Bird's
house with respect to the academy where Hussey de-
posited his box with Litton, and the other buildings
mentioned in tlieevidence. The plan was on a have
scale, but the Court remarked, that if not necessary it
would rather tend to perplex and distract the miads of.
the Jury than to enlighten them
Mr. Sergeant Onslow, in a luminous statemest, de-
tailed the circumstances of the .ease, gave a connected
view of the evidence which he was to bring forward,
showed how it bore against the prisoner, examined the
weight of even• part of it, and laid it before the Jury
in a very methodical and distinct manner. Re deielt
particularly on the late discovery of the hammer, and
the evidence which contradicted the t.atements
made by Hussey in his own defence, both in his ex-
amination before the Magistrates, and in two letters
found .on his person when apprehended, the one ad-
dressed to Mrs. Walmsley, the mistress of the Tiger's
:lead Public House at Greenwich, and the other to his
brother. These letters stated, that he had embarked for
America. though l►e was then in Oxfordshire—in the
heart of England ; and that he had been all the Sa-
turday night,from 7 o'clock downwards,when themur-
fier wa.• committed, ut the Tiger's Head. among the
society that met there, called the lodge of Odd Fellows.
This last statement he would disprove by the evidence
of persons who were there.
The whole evidence, he reminded the Jury, was
circumstantial ; but according to a trite observation,
circumstantial evidence was sometimes stronger than
direct testimony, as circumstances could net be so easily
falsified. .1 he learned Sergeant proceeded to call wit
ncsses.

CRIMINAL SIDE.

Thomas Farrier was indicted upon the Coronet's invisitiml. (the
bill fur murder having been thrown out by the Grand Jury) for inS3l*
to kiaing llenry Richard Motels, a child of three years
and a half ed. at Alingelh:n., in this county.
The witnes,es tit: the prosecution stated, that the prisoner bad mar.
tied the mother t.i the child, who tea., her sun by a former husband ;
that on the „tit Lot, the child. having given some cause of
°lichee to the pri.x.ner, he shook it by the two anus. asking the child
at the same time if he was nut ashamed of himself? The child an-
swered, " almost immtaliattly alter fill down, when it
aas übse:ved that its eyes fixed us if in convids:ons. A surgeon was
sear tor, why arrived about two hours after, when he found the child
dv mg sh.te, having symptotm of concussion of the brain, and it
(hid in seciout V) hours after. A physician also attended. and, coincid-
ing in opinion with the surgeon, directed the head to be openethwhen
ui extr:...eatien on the brain was discovered. which he considered
.attiss.d t.t. death. Both concurred that the shaking only could hut

BOW STREET.

Lady Bruce wss on :Tuesday, after a third examination, .
cuinpletely discharged, none of the transactions winch were
imputed to her-us felonies amomiting to more than simple
debts. A clerk of Messrs. Harding and Cu., of Pall-mull,
received intimation that he would Ite prosecuted ; lie having.
it was alledged, taken most extraordinary pains to
the .different tradesmen of Lady Bruce to prefer against her
charges of, swindling. One Jiipp, a hatter, of Bond_street,
who bad preferred a charge of felony against her oil -Ft iday,
did not attend all Monday, and the wine-merchant now with-
drew his accusation. *eying, that he had been provoked to
make Pis charge of feiony against Lady Bruce. because lady
Bruce's female servant had insulted him. The proceriliugs
['live had the effect of producing offers of immediate payment .
to all the trndesineu. tier Ladyship left the office amidst
the !limas of the crowd, who, probably, would have evinced
equal tlthosiasiu, had the event been difkrent.
It did not dead, appear whether Lady Bruce is the peasen
she assumes to he. One person said that lie knew Sir Stewart
Brace, and that she was his wife; but the evidence not being
the best on ,nth a 'mint, was not taken. Tile vehement deft .
of Messrs. !larding swore that a Colonel Hollis had claimed
her as ltis wife, but this hear—say declaration avas not con- -
sidered admissible. Iter Ladyship had claimed acquaintance •
with the Earl of Harrington and family, who, however, • .
deuied alkktiowledee of such a person.

(UII.T)Ii;ILL.

Monday Miss Elizabeth Walker was brought before Mr.
Alderman Gooditehere, on the charge of Mr Hill, a tailor,
who described 1111115dr:is residing in Fig-tree-court, Barbican.
The complamant, it appeared, had been dining at the west
end of the town on Tuesday the 13th inst. On his return
homewards, he was accosted by Miss Walker on Ludgate-hill.
The prosecutor offered his services to the lady, and retired
with her to the ldolphin 'tavern to procure some refreshment. .
A slipper was ordered to be prepared, and sent with the tweet.- -
sary accompaniments of wine and ale, to the lady's apart-
ments in Dolphin-court, whither the prosecutor and the lady
proceeded. The slipper passed off very pleasantly ; but a quar-
rel afterw.aals ensued; and the lady accused him of being w
dressed up Dandy, anti desired him to leave the house. The
watch was called, but the Constable of the night dismissed the
lady's charge, and she left thewatch-house with great celerity,
seemingly touch pleased at getting rid or her companion. As
soon as the prosecutor had recovered trout his surprise aud ,
disappointment, he missed his purse, containing six or seven .
11. notes, anal which he remembered having in his possession .
when lie paid fur the sipper. Search was immediately made
fot the lady, hut she was no where to be found. Resolved to •
have revenge, not only for the loss of his money, but also the in.
stilt aud disappointment he had received, he had watched for
her every evening since, and on Sunday night had the gratifica. -
tion to lodge her in the watch-house. The lady, ou her part, at...
knowledged the meeting and the supper. She said, from his
appeal ance and Coneeriation, she thought be was a f<ue
gentleman, and was much disappointed ; she denied taking
his money. As no part of the property was found upun the
lady., and complainant could, not swear to the notes it' traced,
she was, dismicsed.

THE LEVEE

Thursday the Prince Regent hada Levee at Carlton-
house; being the first since the lamented death of the
Princess Charlotte, and the only one that has been held
1;)r more than six months, it was extremely crowded.
The usual preliminary ceremonies were complied with ;
the military band, and a due proportion of toot guards,
lifeguards, and constables, were ix attendance.
The company began to enter about one o'clock, and
continued to set down till half past three. At.a quar-
ter past two Ole Prince of Hesse llomberg arrived, in
one of the Prince Regent's carriages; he was in fill:
military uniform, and attended by state-servants ; he
was presented to the 'Prince Regent by Lord Stewart-,
at the entree levee, previous to the general one.
At this previous levee was also introduced Mr. Rush,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
from the United States of America : he was presented
by Lord Castlereagh, as Foreign Secretory, and was
most graciously received. The Secretary and Under
Secretary, Mr. Adams Smith, and Mr. Taylor, were
likewise presented. The Duke of San Carlos, the
Spanish Ambassador, next underwent the same ceremo-
nies, and was similarly received, as also was ►he Baron
(iucldt and Count ',wird: The Dukes of York, Cla-
rence, Cumberland, and Gloucester, the Areh/,ishop of
Canterbury, the Cabinet Ministers, the Household Of-
fie, rs of the Queen ana Regent's Establishment, the

some other official persons attended is their_approxriat:

It appears by a German Riper, that many of the
Hanoverian Nobility will go to Cassel, to be present at
the approaching marriage of the Mae of Cambridge,
and that the Baronntss Kielmanscgge is appointed one
of the Ladies of Honour to his intended bride. This is
a name not unknown in England. A Baron Kielman-
segge was Muster of the borne to George I. as Elector
of Hanover., and the Baron's Lady was invested with
several English titles. A daughter of this lady was
mother of the late Earl I love, so that the present Ba-

THE DRyl Md.

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

The noTelty of the week at this pleasing and well
condocted summer theatre, is the serious ballet called
the Ikath If Captain Gook. This well known subject
is exceedingly well depicted and the interest rises until
the conclusion of the piece, which is got up under the
direction of Mr. T. P. Cooke, whose, abilities are fully
proved not only as a regulator of pantomimic action,
but as a superior actor. The grouping, of the Islanders
is most picturesque and the crumbuts and occasional
BLit-wishes with the marines, sailors, Ike. naturally
managed. T. P. Cooke personated the dying mornews
of the heroic but unfortunate Navigator with expressive
eflivt. Mrs. Pincott as a Native of Owyee proved her.
self an active and graocful pantomimist. The Indians
were introduced and performed throughout with a
spirit and precision which surprised us.
Lionel and Clarissa has been repeated, and we pro-
nounce that it has seldom or ever bcon so well acted as
upon these boards. The-entertainments of Friday night
attracted a fashionable and full audience. We have
frequently before borne testimony to the merits of the
performers, In the Opera of Free and Eav ; they are
so well known and appreciated, that it would be super-
fluous to partjcularise them. In the new Operetta of
the Belts llead, which followed, Mr. Wrench was fully
us Aicient and happy as in theformer piece. The vulgar
seli:apldauding,•impertincurt, retired Cit, was most ably
portrayed by Mr. Wilkinson.

HATTON GARDSN.

Thursday Pesci:tier llosher was brought 13 tus office by one of the
officers of the Society for 0.. c Suppression of l'vlendicity, upon a charge
of va;,,araney and gross imposturo. It appeared upon, exammation,
that tile prisoner was a foreigner, who had frequently relieved
by the tnendicity society, but refused to ;Gail himself of the
means adopted for his .future support. Ile was this day found
standing la Holborn, with a paper pinned on his breast, stating
that he was a de,:ayed tradesman, avid that he was blind. The
latter circumstance was evidently
.au imposition, and the worthy
Alagistrae, concurring. wi,li the views of the society in punishing
gr..is imposture, committed him fo: eat: month to the liousc of Cor-
rection, Coldbittli• fields.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

Lord A. HAMILTON rose to hi lug his subject before the
House. The matter complained of was contained in a iettPr
from a Mr. Thomas Ferguson of Lancashire, stating that Lord
Douglas would procure a situation under Government fur a
person named therein, provided he voted against Lord A.
Hamilton at the next Election. This was alleged to be by
authority from Lord Douglas. The Noble Lord then moved
teat Ferguson should attend at the Bar on the )Ist inst.
Mr. W. Dcx mks was desired by Lord Douglas to state that
he had given no authority to such a proceeding. lie opposed
the Motion.

Mr. C. WYNNE aupported it, ou the ground that enquiry
should.be made.

The Lord ADVOCATE opposed it, as be said no case bad
been made out.

Mr. Buoy° HAM contended that there were ample grounds
for enquiry. The defenders oflmrd Douglas should not oppose
the Motion, as by so doing, they created suspicions that
416 Lordship was not quite clear.
Mr. B. BAI‘HURST moved au Amendment, that the affair
should be referred to a Committee of Privileges.
Lord A. HAMILTON had uo objection, and after making
some observations-in replyrthe amended motion
.wee then
agreed to.
conversation took place between the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and Mr. Tierney, respecting the Banking Bill,
when it was agreed what it should be read a 2d time on Friday,
a motion of Mr. Tierney's fur a Committee of Enquiry having
the precedence.

COPYRIGHT .ICT.

At n meeting of the Syndics for the Public LP/Vary. held at the
11.Tuiversiv of Cambridge, on Aptil the titli inst.. it was ordered. that
various extract: should- be printed from rrofrasta Christian's publi.

Great ltritain to a Copy of ^very nett Publication." and that.
with certain oh,eruations thereurto annexed. they should be circo.
LAO amongst the Slumbers of the Housed Lords and of the llouse
of Commons. . . .

From facts which have lately transpired in Pa.liament, It is certain
that the obligation imposed upon an author to deliver to- the different
t • niveriities, gratuitously, a certain number of copies of his work ,may
amount, in some cases. to a tax so enormous as to deter him from
attempting to publish it. The utost expensive and consequently
the most elaborate works, will therefote be the most likely of all
others to perish or lie dormant in the brain of him who conceives
them ;,rod the chance of publication will be inversely as the value
of the book. The question, then, is briefly this—:Whether would
ttte 1,--reatest mischief result from the slow, imperfect, and precsrious
publication ; in other words, from the partial suppression of the
higher class of literary pertimmuices, or from the possibility that cer-
tain learned con orations might not think proper to buy them ? It
seems as if a choice must Le made between the voluntary ignorance
of burin very richly endowed bodies, anti the nerevsury ignorance of
the public at large. from the oppression and discouragement of men
of genius. We arc not blind to the unquestionable merits of our na-
tional establishments for the promotion of learning; we are anxious
only that they should not be instrumental in deleatig the ends of
their creation.
