TO TIIE EDITOR.

SIR —A report Las gone abroad of so singular. a
nature, that I AID induced to communit ate it to you for
the amusement of your readers.—

" It is confidently sealed, that the Austrian 6:wen!.
merit having applied to Ministers tOr aid in the ' Cru-
sade' of the ' Iloly Alliance,' against Naples, Lord
----- has consented to make a diversion in favour
of the ' High and Mighty Allies,' by landing an army
on the coast of Naples, to be composed of the Italua
witnesses against the Queen—commanded by Major-Gen.
Nlajocei, and Colonel l-lachi; that they are to be cm-
barkt (I on board certain polacres, under the command
~f Admiral Patuir), and that Ole General has al.eady
received a supply of Napoleons to defray the expenccs
of the expedition—the atooont could not be ascertained,

There has been a slight return of the discontent
manifested a few months ago among the colliers in
Shropshire, and from the same cause, viz. dissatis-
fiction w:th the rate of wages. Warrants have been
issued against a number of them for assaults; and
Robert Hodson, Allen Pickering, E. and T. l'oolcr,
and T. Jarvis, have been committed to gaol tir
riotously assembling, and for an assault upon three
overlookers belonging to the Lilleshill Company,
who were abused, abut thrown into the canal by the
rioters. The cavalry were ordered to be in readi-
ness, but the committal of the above-mentioned men
to prison has intimidated the colliers from doing fur-
ther mischief.

FUNERAL' OF. TIM COUNTESS TALBOT.

On Saturday se'nnight the remains oftthis lamen-
ted Lady were conveyed from Dublin Castle to the
water side, in solemn procession, for interment in
England. When.the procession had arrived at the
nearest .approaek ao the l'igiou House Wall, aßthe
carriages, except. those that carried the mourners,
and those persons immediately connected, retired,
and a party of the. Scotch Greys closed in the rear,
until they arrived at the barrier, where they halted
and prevented the elatrusion at' the crowd. From
the above place to the point where the Uxbridge
packet lay in readiness, was lined by the military,
and when the hearse had arrived near the vessel,
the body was carried from the hearse to the water
side.
Captain Stevens was in attendance, and had every
necessary arrangement made, which the solemn
occasion required ; an inclined plane was placed from
the side of the wall to the packet, along which the
coffin. was gently moved to the deck, than which it
was lowered into the state cabin.
.which had been
previously hung with black: all. the vessel:ou the
River and Bay had their colours flying half-mast
high. Mioute guns continued to fire during the
entire of the ceremony, until the packet got under
weigh, which was soon after two o'clock, but the
wind not being favourable, she was shortly obliged
to come to anchor.
Wednesday morning the remains of her Excel-
lency were conveyed through the town ofLiverpool,
where they had arrived on Monday, in a hearse,
drawn by six horses and adorned with escutcheons,
en their road to Ingestrie„ Staffordshire, to be
interred in the family vault at that place. They
wale preceded by a part of the 71st Regiment of
Foot, and followed by two mourning coaches.

3.4LFOTID QUARTEft SESSIONS.

The Salford Qoarter-Stesion, so pregnant, as it should j
seem, with itiyortaitt issues, began on Monday List.
Istiuw not, however, Mat there will be touch in

it is better perhaps, as the putt Uray says, that •• h+6ll

Lit too."
The Gbalentan,, in addressing the Grand Jury, stated,
they had been aware that Parliament had been called
together at an earlier period than was usual in time of
peace. This was understood to have been necessary in
cooSegtietice of the many disorderly and ciao:reruns acts
%hien nad taken place in several parts of the country,
utd the result oT the early meeting of Parliaineut was,
that ntrasines were passed to prevent such tielarluris
t:ractices. One must lament that such a necessity si1011!,1
have existed ; but that it did exist was well known to
all those who lived in the manufacturing districts of
l:u, land and Scotland. Parliatnent had passed a num-
ber Mac's, which, it was hoped, would be effectual for
their respective proposes, and prevent further inchti-
venience to the peaceable hart of his Majesty's subjects.
If they should flat I:r.ree efketttal for those purposes,
'Parliament had reserved to its. If the power of altering
them so far as might be necessary during the present
stusseots.

Dlr. Hay here enumerated the six new Acts, and
stated the nature of them.°l
13y the pieseet age, wined had been hurried along by
circunistancF, all these measures were viewed as pre.
ventatiees of future evils: to the historian they would
appear, clo.teiiig as they did the statnte•book, a memorial
of the depravity of the colunty,and of the diligence with
which Parhatuent did its duty. Parliament had indeed
dune its duly with firmness and discretion. To them
(the Bench and Juiy) it belonged to give tfiect to
the measures which Parliament had provided. If these
sets did nut prevent the erils to winch they referred, it
was then the duty of Magistrates to be ready with the
appLcation of tile laws. Grand Juries were the most
ettectual means of applying the laws properly. They
consisted of gentlemen who came front various parts of
the country, and" who must be informed whether il-
legal practices existed. Qa them therefore (the
(rand Jury), it was his duty to call to exercise the
futictiolis which belvineed to them. lie knew, from
their rank in society, via' they possessed firmness and

when it comes down to them, we are at a loss to
imagine, when this extra judicial proceeding is
avowedly on the ground of public necessity, and
when, they have already declared, by recommending
adjustment upon professed principles of mutual
respect at least, (how muchsoever we may disap-
prove the absurdity of asking the Queen to give up
the point of the Liturgy), that the affair was not of
public moment, but simply a domestic difference. We
cannot imagine with what face the House of Com-
mons can for a moment entertain a Bill violating the
ordinary principles of law so clearly, and breaking in
upon the ordinary provisions of civil or criminal
justice; yet we must own that we have serious
apprehensions on behalf of the Queen's safety, when
we see that the political influence of suck an ad-
ministration is likely to be wielded against her in
in a Parliament where Members, alas ! have ahewn
themselves in so many points utterly at variance
with public opinion. Where the influence arising
from place, from vanity of titles given or expected,
and even from the natural disposition of man to
acquiesce in the conclusions of authority, rather
than to exercise laboriously his own understanding,
must operate so sensibly, we see no adequate coun-
terpoise to this influence, except in the expression
of public opinion throughout the nation distinctly
and decidedly upon " the modes of proceeding"
adopted. This will not be prejudging innocence
or guilt, but putting the accused in a just and ba-
lanced attitude, and may at least operate consi-
derably with the House of Commons, who stand es
yet not committed, to any extraordinary mode of pro-
ceeding, and may induce them to decline taking any
part in a measure which tends to, and in fact must
actually confound the legislative, judicial, and exe-
cutive parts of the Government. We therefore ear-
nestly recommend an Address to the QUEEN from
every county, town, borough, corporate and incor-
porate body, whereby the general compassion for
the Queen's situation may be expressed, and a coun-
try's Protest, at the same time, entered against a
mode of proceeding which threatens the very sub-
version of the principles of the constitution, which,
however badly administered, arc theoretically good,
and might, under a virtuous and manly administra-
tion, be expanded into the best arranged system of
society ever contemplated in the imagination of man.

because at every ordinary Session, Courts were in the
habit of acting upon presumption—upon presumption
drawn either front the presence of evidence on the one
side, or from the absence of evidence on the other.—

The evidence as to the training and drilling (Ms Lordship
continued) appeared to him to be evidence perfectly ad.
missible. lie had thought so at the time of the trial, and
he thought so now. %% ith respect to the inscriptions on
the flags, he was of opinion that parole evidence Was
fit to be received. The production of writings was not
in all criminal cases necessary. He had entered into the
subject, the Learned Judge added, at greater length than
he lird originally intended; but he had thought it ne-
cesary to show that he still maintained the opinions
%vide!' he had expressed at the trial; and, for the rest, he
concurred entirely in what had been said by the Lord
Chief Justice: .

The Attorney-General now alluded to the length
of time which the case had occupied, and proposed
that judgment should be immediately pronounced,
unless that measure would be inconvenient to the court,
or unless the defendants had any thing to say against
the adoption of that course.
Mr. Hunt submitted that the pronouncing sentence
would occupy as much time now as at any future pe-
riod. He therefore requested that the defendants might
be allotted time to prepare.
The Lord Chief,Justice thought the request reason-
able, and said it should be complied with.
Johnson merely wished for time to send into the
country. _ _

......
Mr. Hunt.—The defendants wished to send for affi-
davits. For his own part, if the Attorney-General
would not put in any affidavit in aggravation, he did not
wish to put in any in mitigation.
The Lord Chief-Justice said, that the Court was not
the place i❑ which that gin:mini) could be answered.
The Atiorney-General thought that it was impottant
that judgment should pass iu the present Term
Mr. Hunt would take until this day week.
The Lord Chief-Justice said, that Monday next
would be the last day of Term, and that the Court
would be very fully occupied on that day. The defend-
ants might take until Saturday; and if they then stated
upon affidavit that they had been unable to accomplish
their object, the Court would consider whether it could
postpone the matter until Monday.

THI KING V. PAGI.

The defendant in this case was convicted at the last
assizes for the county of Hereford of an assault upon a
young lads, of the name of Edwards. The circum-
stances of this case have already been before the public,
they were shortly these:—Miss Edwards is a young lady
of beauty and fortune residin,, at Tewkesbury, and the
defendant is an attorney resident at the same place.—
Attracted by the charms of the lady's purse, or of her
person, Mr. Pace made addresses to Miss Edwards;
hut, after a short time his proposals were declined. Mr.
Pace, upon this, thought proper to become furious; he
loaded his pistols, swore many oaths, pursued Miss
Edwards to Aberystwith ; and meeting het there, oat
the Marine Parade, presented a pistol, and struck her
with it. A gentleman, Mr. Givens, who was escorting
the lady, interfered; Mr. Pace fired at him, was dis-
armed and taken into custody. Mr. Pace was tried at
Cardigan, under Lord Ellenborough's Act, for shooting
at Mr. Givens, and acquitted. lie was subsequently
convicted at Hereford for the assault upon Miss Ed-
wards; and Mr. Jervis now prayed the judgment of
the Court. _ _ _

Tne sentence of the Conn was, that the defendant
should be imprisone.l eighteen months in Gloucester
gaol ; and that he should at the expiration of that tithe
find security, himself in 2,0001. and four other persons
in 5901. each, for his good behaviour during a period
of three years.

a farmer, and Calvert, a yeoman also. They
fought for 20 guineas aside, and another stake of

him in his capacity as clergyman and magistrate,

of observation he may occasionally make use of; and
he would be one of the first to recommend an entire

REFUGE FOR THE JIOUSELESS POOR.

On Friday the Members of the House Committee,
appointed for the General Committee engaged for
the service of the houseless pour, waited upon the
Governors of the London Workhouse, for thc pur-
pose of making a proposition to them, from which
great advantage is to be expected to the destitute
during the winter.
Amongst the Governors who atiended at the
Workhouse to receive the proposition of the deputa-
tion from tile Committee of the Houseless Poor, were
the Lord Mayor, who took the Chair. Alderman
Wood, Mr, Wright, Mr. Dolly, Mr. Goss, and Mr.
Pearce. Amongst the Deputation were Mr. Hick
and Mr. Bodkin.
Mr. HICK stated, that he waited upon the Gover-
nor in the name of the General Committee, to
request that they would permit so much of the Lon-
don Workhouse as could be spared, to be appropri-
ated to the use of the indigent and unprotected,
with whom the streets in this severe season began
to abound. He represented that such an application
of the workhouse was compatible with the charter,
and said that tha expence arising from dilapidations
&c. would be defrayed by the Committee for the
Houseless Poor.
The LORD MAYOR wholly approved of the sug-
gestion of the Committee, and pointed out various
untenanted parts of the workhouse, in which the
unfortunate could be placed without the slightest
prejudice to the present system upon which the
establislunent was conducted. He was of opinion
that the sum of 20,00() or 25,0001. a sum easily
raised in London upon so urgent an emergency,
would be of incalculable service (if applied judici-
ously) in ameliorating the condition of the poor
generally through the country. He considered that
one of the greatest causes of vagrancy was want of
work ; for the purpose of preventing which coin-
plaint he should advise the adoption of a plan similar
to that upon which an old friend of his, Mr. Jackson,
one of the Overseers of the Parish of St. Catherine
Cree had acted. He would provide work, whether
that work proved to be a matter of pecuniary
advantage or not, and the hosts of vagrants who
hated work would soon disappear, as they had
done in she case of his friend, when they found
that without working for it they could get nothing
to eat.
Alderman WOOD strongly recommended to his
Brother Governors the propriety of acquescing in
the proposition of the Committee.
Mier which the Treasurer (Sir W. RAWLINS)
having made no decided objection, the application
was replied to in the affirmative, and leave was
given to appoint a Committee to model the work-
house, and put it on a proper plan for the reception
of between 200 and 300 poor people. The Com-
mittee arc to apply for similar accommodation for
the poor at the east and west ends of tha town.
We understand that in their arrangements for the
temporary protection of the houseless, they are de-
termined to guard against the possibility of being
burdened by those who are not in the most pressing
state of necessity. Bread and water will be
administered to all those who crave admission,
and punishment will certainly be inflicted upon all
impostors.

Perhaps the annals of Horticulture have never
exhibited a more extraordinary occurrence than that
of the Bromelia Ananas, or Pine-apple Plant, from
which Mr. Robert Buck, gardener to Lord Bagot, at
Blithfield, Staffordshire, last year produced, of the
seed of one fruit raised the preceding year, 725 pine
plants, and from another 321 plants ; the former
supposed to be the largest increase of the kind ever
known in England.
Friday, as Sir Godfrey Webster was travelling in
his curriclo from Lewes eastward, on a canvassing
expedition for Mr. Cavendish, he was, at Laughton
Pound, assailed by a boulder (an election shot, we
presume), hurled at him by a journeyman carpen-
ter, a sturdy fellow, hal thunk, but he missed his
aim. The worthy Baronet, nevertheless, jumped
from his carriage, and proceeded to give him a spe-
cimen of his skill in the fancy, which the carpen-
ter, after stripping and assuming the character and
attitude of a regular pugilist, attempted to resist;
but he soon found that he kid quite mistaken his
man, and received a very severe drubbing, inflicted
until the cowardly scoundrel loudly cried prowl,
and begged hard for mercy, which was generously
granted; but it is said that some days must elapse
bethre he can recover from the effects of his merited
chastisement.

FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 12.—Tha Duchess of Berri.conti.
nues in good health.
At a masquerade recently given by the Countess
Ingelheim, at Strasburg, one of the provincial
ladies gratified her fancy by assuming. the appear.
ance of a statue, standing in the middle of the hall.
She had scarcely taken her position when she drop-
ped down dead.—The company at first considered it
ajoke, and supposed that the lady was giving a
specimen of fine acting, but they ultimately disco-
vered she had been struck by apoplexy.
A Grand Jury was convoked at Malta, on the
26th of January, to try piracies and crimes com-
mitted on the high seas. Governor Maitland pro-
ceeded from Corfu for the express purpose of sitting
as President- The first accusation was against the
Captain and crew of a brig. The Jury found the
prisoners (eight in number) Guilty. They were
executed, with the exception of two, whom the
Governor reprieved, on the 4th of February, on
hour& Four of the bodies were,hungin chains.
The King of Saxony, and Maximilian, his bro-
ther, frewiently receive letters frotn the Queen of
Spain, who, according to report, is much beloved
by her subjects.
The report of the death of Santit is entirtly dis-
sipated. He remains in the same state, and there
I is no prospect yet of his trial being soon ended.
A dreadful calamity took place at Bordeaux wise
3d of this month. The north entrance of the ca-
thedral Church of the city is situated between two
towa-s, surmounted by lofty spires. A pyramidal
obelisk, about 150 feet high, rose immediately over
the gateway. This obelisk had been injured by fire,
and was repaired about ten years since, t►n the
3d inst., at five o'clock in the evening, at the mo-
ment that the church service was commencing, a
vlolent storm arose, accompanied by sud•len squalls.
The lightning struck the obeii,k, and da:ilied it on
the roof of the church, wiliell, being incapable of
supporting this enormous weight, sunk down as far
as lo the arch which separates it from the great
body of tlu cathedral. A mass of stones imniedi-
ateiy poured in, and killed several of the persons
who were assembled in that part of the church. A
MIN of stones of more than three metres high filled
the nave; it was evident that all who were covered

with this enormous mass must have lost their lives.
The ?danger was every instant increasing, by the
fragments of the roof, which the gusts of wind
shook, and which were constantly fulling in the
midst of the labourers. The architects signified
the danger of continuing the work. and their fears
were but too well founded, for quickly another por.
tion of 'the roof tumbled in. The works were re-
sumed the next morning at day-break, and the ruins
were all removed at twelve o'clock. The number
of the killed amounts altogether to 13, and among
the wounded is one whose situation leaves no hope
of recovery. All the bodies of the dead are dread.
fully mutilated; those which could not be recog-
nised have been transported to the Commune.

had conjured the King to convoke the Cortes, as the
only means of tranquillizing the public mind. It is
added, that in the insurrection at Centime the most
deplorable excesses were committed against the indi-
viduals who had contributed to the arrest of Gen.
Porlier. It was said, likewise, that there bud been
a tumult at Saragossa, and that three persons were
killed.
A report is spread that the King has offered a con-
stitution, but that the revolters demand the surren-
der of five fortresses as a guarantee.
The Infant Don Francis was 24 hours under ar-
rest, for having observed to the King, in the most
energetic terms, that he was lost if he did not accept
the constitution. The same journal adds, that on
the evening of the 26th ult. some seditious words
were heard amongst the troops at Madrid.
The insurrection in the maritime city of St. An-
der, in the Asturias, took place on the 27th ultimo.
The principal authorities took the oath to the con-
stitution. At the departure of the courier who
brought this intelligence, the town of St. Ander
appeared animated with the same sentiment.
The regiment of Arrugon volunteers was the
only one that attacked the revolting army in the
attar of .Marbella. The rest of the army expressed
indignation at this act of hostility.
Arragon and Catalonia are in a state of fermen-
tation. The revolters make progress in Andalusia.
The towns of Algesiras, Tarith, Xeres, and Malaga,
in their power.
The constitution was proclaimed on the 19th ult.
at Ferrol, and on the 2la at Corunna. The remains
of :Porlier were disinterred, and funereal honours
paid to them. Ilis widow, who was confined in a
convent at Corunna, was brought out and carried
in triumph through the city. An old P.resident of
tire Cortes is at the head of the revolters in Galicia.
Mina, who passed Bayonne about the Ist instant,
was accompanied by Col. licheveria, a man of talent
and a gallant soldier. He stopped two days at
Brianitz. lie is now at the head of 2,000 men.
His first operation was to take possession of the
foundry of cannon at Aizzabal, about four leagues
from St. John-Pied-de-Port. He established a cus-
tom of ten francs for every carriage.
Letters received from Madrid announce that the
King held a grand council, the majority of which
were of opinion that his Majesty ought to make no
concession. The partisans of extreme measures and
arbitrary power urged him to demand from France,
in virtue of the treaty of Holy Alliance, a subsidiary
force of 40,000 men; but a member of the minority
inveighed strongly against the deplorable system
followed for some rime past, and protested against
the interference of foreigners. The King yielded
to his reasonings.
