have speculators in their markets purchasing and pur-
suing all their objects, with information derived by the
Extr.l Post, which the others could not possibly obtain.
How can it be supposed that this Post would pay for its
extension to Glasgow, when to reach that city, it would
for near YOU miles traverse a country in which an Extra
Post Letter could scarcely ever be expected. Yet a per-
son might leave Manchester after the extra post gets
there, and he in Glasgow the day bane the mail coach
letters would be delivered, to the great detriment of the
mercantile interests of that city. And if it did extend
to 311 the large commercial towns, how would the farm-
ing interest be situated? Factors and corn speculators
would possess themselves of the fluctuations at Mark-
Lute, and be able to traverse whole counties before the
ordinary post had arrived. The landed proprietors would
soon have their tenants complaining that they could
never sell except to a disadvantage, to those persons who
come from the towns which the extra post might embrace.
•I'he sante reasoning applies to every brauch of trade.
Unless the extra post be as • •ersal as the mail coaches
and cot iiiii on horse posts, it never can be freed from this
objection; and while it is most unlikely to create any new
revenue of importance, the expence will be enormous
for conveyance; for new offices, clerks, letter earners,
&c. and in this way to be sure it may be a new source
of patronage. In expence, and in its exposurf to rob-
bery, it is liable to the two great objections which the
esttblishment of mail coaches overcame. The Metro-
polis may be grievously pe-plexed by the arrival of two
daily posts, one over-running the other, and if it can be
supposed that the measure were attended with any suc-
cess, the post hours in London would be materially
shortened, for though the ordinary mails would remain,
many persons would be compelled as it were to the use
of the other, and a new taxation would ensue for what
very few appear to desire. The sale of London News-
papers hoist be greatly diminished , for when those by
the Extra Post have been read at the Subscription Room,.
which would have one at any expellee, what interest
could people take its those by the common post, which
would be one .lay old? In short, there is hardly
j any general interest which this Extra Post %mild not
tend to injure, though its benefit even to a few great
capitalists is obvious, in the advantage which it would
gke them over the mass of the coin 1111 l

NEW EXTRA POST.

The objections to the Extra Post Plan cannot Iv! too
generally known, nor too strongly insisted upon.—The
projector had proposed to include all the principal com-
merciol districts, but changed his mind on a supposiiimi
that they might not .11.1 rvpay the great expence of the new
conveyance. I lany private person were to form this post,of
course he would not extend it except where it would be
attended with a profit, nor can Government, if it makes
the measure own, be expected to act on any other
principle. It is understood, that at the Post Office they
do not calculate in a financial view that this meature can
ever succeed mi our extended scale, and its injurious
operatum oli places to winch it dots not extend, is ma-
nifest. lt, for instance, the Extra Post should ply its
expenses to Manchester and Literpool, but not further,

ST. ATHANASIUS'S CREED.
-........--

In our Parliamentary Report of last week will
be found an account of the presentation of a Petition
by Lord Holland, from the Rev. Mr. Jones. a man
of unimpeached and (as we believe from the best of
information) of unimpeachable character, complain-
ing of grossly intolerant conduct on the part of his
Diocesan, the Bishop of Exeter. The Bishop of
Exeter might act from the purest principles, but his
vision appears to have been distorted ;—he seems to
have listened to certain serpents, as we are told Eve
did to the devil (and perhaps, from the deceit we
often meet with in the form of a Tory parson, his
Satanic Majesty may, in ides, have been clothed in
black), who have stated falsehoods to his Holiness
(we beg pardon, we mean his Lordship, who appears
to have a vast antipathy to any thing that is
Catholic), as coming from the worthy divine, which
it is clear he never uttered; and if he had said all
that was imputes to him, he would have said no
more than every honest man ought to say, no more
than every man, a single remove from the two con-
ditions of rogue and fool, must own. We write as
members of the Establishment, but still we remem-
ber that our late good King held that damning
Creed in such abhorrence, that though usually
devoutly audible in all his responses, he was reso-
lutely dumb in ail attempts to make him follow in
damning three fourths of his fellow•men. In proof
of his correctness of judgment, we quote the follow.
ing authorities, accompanied by, we hope, appropri-
ate remarks:—

At four o'clock on Friday morning Sir C. Wolse.
ley was sent off in custody from the Kings Bench
prison, and lodged in the gaol of Abingdon at two
o'clock on that day. The utmost attention was paid
to his convenience and comfort by the persons ap-

pointed to conduct him to his destination.
Mr. HUNT.—The following is a copy of a letter
received in town from Mr. Hunt:—
" Ilchestcr, Thursday morning.
" I arrived at my de -finatim and entered the inner door of
my dungeon last night at ten o'clock, having been taken from
the King's Bench at four o'clock in the morning. We travelled
&distance of 130 miles in IS hours. It is needless to inform you,
who are 30 well acquainted with the innate habits of our masters,
that I only received about four hours notice of my
departure ; end even that was not communicated till after the
doors were closed, so that it was rendered impossible for me to
communicate to my distressed family, to save them the mortifi
cation of inquiring, in vain, for me in the morning. I slept
seven hours, and awoke perfectly refreshed ; and in such spirits
and health as have enabled me to commence my no& of
incarceration not only with fortitude, but with cheerfulness—a
practical proof that the inhabitant of a straw bed, rums when eat
efron: Me society of his dearest friends, and locked within M,
walls ola grated dungeon, if blessed with conscious rectitude, is
sure to obtain more substantial enjoyment than . My
that thought induced me involuntarily to exclaim to the walls of
my dungeon, 'What would the hobbling poor cripple
or the carbuncled give to enjoy such a night as I
have passed ?—To be brief, the Governor of this his Majesty's
gaol of Detester bears the =erecter of a humane man ; and 1
have as yet no reason to doubt the truth of it, as he appears dis-
posed to do every thing that the strict rules Vila prison discipline
will admit to make those who are put under his are as comfort-
able as the nature of their situations will permit. Be pleased to
inform all enquiring friends, that I am in perfect health, and
look forward to the completion of my 912 days of inarceration,
not only with dimness, but with the greatest co sure
cheerfulness.
Parson Harrison arrived in Chester on Wednesday
night last, by the mail, in the custody of Mr. Hud-
son, constable of the castle. He appeared to be
io very good spirits, and conversed some time at the
Post-office door with a stranger, who waited the ar-
rival of the coach. The whole period of impri-
sonment to which he is sentenced, is three years and
a halt:

inspecting the carcases of the Vether Sheep, at the
slaughter-house in the liaßyard, and in visiting the
farms of Mr. Blonotield, and Mr. Moore, at NVarliain.
The ploii,4liina match for the prize also took place.—
Almon three o'clock the Sallie number as on the pre-
-ciling day sat down to dinner ; after which, the coin-
piny toned with Mr. Coke, to witness the distribution
of pinks.

Extract from the late Mr. Grattan's will:—" I
have n reversion in fee, in my Queen's County estate,
and Vail my children die without issue, living at the
time of their death, I leave the said estate back to the
public—that is to say. to the following great officers
fur the ticle being :—The Provost of Dublin College,
the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Lord Chief
Justice of the King's Bench, the Lord Mayor of
Dublin, the Bishop of Dublin, and Judge Day, in
trust, to thrm a foundation for the annual support of
unprovided Gentlewomen, daughters of poor and
meritorious Citizens of Dublin, according to such
rules and regulations as they shall plan and devise."

Paling, John Robinson, and William Henry Stan-
ford, for uttering forged notes; Henry Hawkins,

laws of their country, at the usual place of execution
in the Old Bailey, in the presence of a comparatively
small number of spectators.

Bowing, of Kingston Farm, near Dorchester,
brought forth thur fu timed calves ; three of them
died in a short time the other, with the cow,
which was reduced toAtatreme weakness, is likely
to live.

HOLKHAM SHEEP SHEARING.

This splendid continuation of hospitality, of intellec-
tual enjoyment and practical utility, took place on
Nlotiday,Tuesday, and Wednesday last. The company
began to assemble on Sunday, and early on Monday
morning there %sere attracted men of all ranks, of all
counties, and almost of all climates. Every one who
has information to impart, or knowledge to gain, ap-
pears on this occasion-to be a welcome visitant at Holk-
ham. It is not at all the language of exaggeration to
say, that the world does not present a spectacle equally
gratifying. To other men are given larger possessions
and more absolute power, but at liollthain the character
of a true English gentleman in all his pride, in all his
glory and independence, rim best be seen. Among the
company present we observed his Ityyal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, the Marquis of Downshire, Lords
Albemarle, Erskine, Anson, Ebrington, Lynedoch,
Delman, Sir John Sinclair, Sir W. Nolte, General
Fitzroy, General Walpole, the High Sheriffs of Nor-
folk and Worcestershire, Prince Trabetzkay, from Rus-
sia, and front almost every county in the kingdpm,
strangers who assembled to witness the hospitisbiy of
Mr. Coke, and to benefit from a visit to Holkham
Sheep Shearing.

Lon Den Markets.

CORN EXCHANGE, WzmnesnAy, MAK=
Our market was but poorly supplied with. Wbses this morn•
ing, baring bad but very few arrivals since• Monday, and very
few samples being left over from that day's market, the de-
mand was brisk, and no advance of luper quarter for the finest
samples was readily obtained. The trade in Barley was very
dull, and prices remain as on Monday. Oats were by no means
plentiful, but there being a good demand, Monday's prices were
readily obtained.—ln Peas, Beans, Am. there is no alteration.

CORN-EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, MARCH 17.
We have had but very few arrivals of Wheat this week, and
those chiefly from our own coast, and although the finest qualities
were offered at Is. per qr. lower, very little business was done,
the consumers not seeming inclined to purchase. The trade in
Barley was very dull, but the prices remain as per last. The
supply of Oats was very short, at a trilling reduction. Beans
Peas. &c. were very dull in sale, but no alteration in prices.

CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY. NIAR1;11 go.
We had a good supply of Wheat this morning at market,
consisting of fine runs from our own coast, the supply from
abroad continuing very limited; the finest samples which ap-
peared could scarcely support our last prices, and the inferior
descriptions suffered a reduction of es. per quarter. The supply
of Barley was pretty. large, but the demand was very limited.
consequently that article suffered a reduction of from is to ts.
per qr. The trade in Oats was not very brisk, and sales went off
heavy at Is. per quarter lower. in Pea and Beans there is very
little business doing, and no alteration in prise.

a constable, as reputed thieves. On Thursday the ruf-
fians assembled in greater numbers than they had been
before accustomed to do, and after parading the different
streets in a menacing manner, took their station under
a gateway leading from New-street into Camden•street,
where they began shouting, and seeming to court an
attack. Unfortunateiy at this moment, Mr. Hawkins
reached the spot, on his way home front the police-office;
he was instantly recognised, and one of the villains,
named John Smith, advancing in front of the rest, ex..
claimed in a loud tone," Here comes the who has
been swearing against our pals—down with him—cut his
throat," and the remainder shouted with the most
dreadful imprecations that they would "do for him."
Mr. Hawkins ran as fast as he could, but was pursued,
and knocked down with a stake; the whole of them
then commenced a most cowardly attack on him.
(Jute fellow who had a tuck stick, or something of the
kind, struck him a blow across the nose, which divided
the flesh like a knife; and with the second laid kis skid
open jest above the forehead. Mr. Hawkins called
loudly fur assistance, but none came, till his cries grew
fainter and fainter, and at length ceased altogether
The villains, thinking they had accomplished their
object, were about to leave hum ; but a neighbour named
Brat, who saw the atrocious attack, collected together
the iohabitants, who at this moment arrived, armed
with weapons of various descriptions, surrounded the
ritflians, and after a smart battle, took Smith, Hoare,
and Glories Roles into custody ; the remainder fought
their way through, and escaped. They were brought
to this office on Friday, and fully committed on the
charge of attempting to murder Mr. Hawkins ; and at
the same time informations were laid, and a descrip-
tion given of thirteen others.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

Examined by the Court.—The crowd did nothing when Mr.
Hunt said "be firm." He said so several times. The persons
round the hustings exhibited no symptoms of running away.—
No stick or any other weapon was lifted up to attack the military.
The people put themselves in no posture of resistance—no posture
either of offence or defence. It was impossible for those near
the cavalry to have rushed upon them, or struck them, if they
had been so disposed. The words used by Mr. Hunt did not
appear to me to convey an exhortation to the crowd to put them-
selves in a posture of offence or defence. Mr. Hunt added
nothing to the words" be firm." Ile said nothing to the people
blaming them for not putting themselves in a posture of offence
or defence.
Examined by Mr. Hunt.—s. The witness said, you did not shake
your fin at the cavalry, but stretched out your open hand with
the palms down, to desire the people to be quiet and peaceable.
Cross examined by Mr. Scarlett.—l only saw the left hand,
and did not know what Mr. Hunt had in his right. I was induced
to examine the crowd more particularly. to see if they had
sticks, from reports in the newspapers that the Radical Retioniers
always came to their meetings armed with clubs and bludgeons.
I arrived at Manchester only one hour before the meeting.
Did you know of any address of Mr. Hunt's to the inhabitants
of Manchester.
I do not know what you mean.
Did you see this address posted on the walls ? Here the learn-
ed Counsel was handing the paper to witness, when Mr. Hnnt
objected. This paper was never yet given in evidence, or sworn

to.
Mr. Scarlett contended that it was, and that Mr. Hunt had
read it himself.
Mr. Hunt... 4 read it as part of my speech.
Mr. Scarlett—Then I shall read the part of it which you in •
traduced into your speech. Then turning to the witness, the
learned Counsel continued the examination.
Did you know of any address issued
.previously by Mr. Hunt.
in a passage of which he advised the inhabitants of Manchester
to come armed to the meeting with nothing but a self-approving
conscience ? I did not sec it.
Mr. Barrow (Counsel for Jones) here asked if wanes saw Jones
at the hustings ? I did not.
Dr. Healy asked witness if he saw him ? I saw Dr. Healy
on the hustings, and he desired the people to be quiet, previous
to the arrival of Mr. Hunt. 1 took notes of the banners, and of
the inscriptions, before Mr. hunt's arrival; but I took no notes
of what was said by any speaker previous to his arrival.
Examined by the Court—l did not know for what purpose the
cavalry were coming to the hustings.

The severest contest •ver recollected in Selkirk
took place at the nomination of the delegate. On
the day of election considerable rioting took place,
and the Chief Magistrate, while exerting himself in
his official capacity to establish tranquillity, was
knocked down, upon which an express was dispatched
for Mr. Walter Scott, the Sheriff of the county, who
happily succeeded in restoring peace.

deponent to` the materiality of the witness. We believe, too,
that in a similar case, the courts below would expect such notice
to be given of the intended application as might give the opposite
party an opportunity for inquiring into the truth of the statement;
and, at all events, we arc sure that the advrese counsel would not
in ordinary eases, have been taken by surprise by receivingthe first
intimation of such a request, at the moment of preferring it to the
court.

We believe the whole statement to be unfounded, and that the
Attomey•General was as touch deluded in making it, as with
respect to the other facts above enumerated. The application was
withdrawn on the day after it was made, on the alleged ground
that letters front Milan had arrived, conveying intelligence that
the witnesses could not arrive so soon as was expected. But no
man of common sense would believe that any one important
witness was likely to have come at all. Look at the dates; look
at the time of preparation, the means employed, the opportuni-
ties possessed. The riot at Dover was so convenient s dream..
stance, that one is tempted to suspect some persons concerned in
the prosecution of having excited it. This " tumult" made
Sacchi change his name a full twelvemonth before it occurred,
and it compels the men of Lugano to change their route, after it
is known to have subsided. But if this fear operated at first,
would it not have been counteracted (as in the case of so many
Pardus and Guiseppes) by fear of their own government; and
this, too, when there was time more than sufficient to travel
twice from Lugano to London, and back again 1 No man who
looks at the character of the evidence produced, will believe that
any thing material has been withheld. But, in the mean time,
the promoters of the prosecution have the credit of being pre.
vented by accident alone, front establishing important facts by
additional testimony. Let the thinking part of the community
sec how far they are entitled to this credit from the Attorney-
General's opening speech, by comparing his assertions in other
respects with his prooli.

MEMOIRS OF BERGAMI.

A bookseller of Paris, has just published the
" Memoirs of Bergami," which it is asserted are
written by himself—we have of course no means
of ascertaining the truth of this assertion, though
we think it likely our readers will be pleased with
the fifflowing epitome of it—
Bergami enters into no details as to his birth, but
confines himself to simply stating, that his family,
after having once been rich, became poor—a dis-
agreeable change, which, however, has nothing ex.
traordinary in it, or very instructive to the reader.
He says he was born with a strong source of en-
thusiasm, and was ardently devoted, from his earliest
youth, to sacred books, so that at one time he se-
riously entertained the thoughts of entering into
holy orders. But an unexpected occurrence dissi-
pated this intention. The reading of the Bible
had nearly made him a priest, and the music of a
French regiment, which was manning under his
window, made him a soldier. He entered the
French army, and having distinguished himself, he
was made an officer. It was in this quality that he
found himself under the orders of General Pino,
and not, as he assures us. in quality of a courier,
which has been so wickedly affirmed. He explains
afterwards, how it happened that he was mistaken
for a courier. While he was in the .service, an
apparently insignificant occurrence took ph.ce, which
powerfully influenced his future destiny. He was
present at a marriage, which was splendidly cele-
brated at the house of the Countess C
whose daughter was about to be married. A re-
nowned gipsey fbrtune•teller was called in to calcu-
late the young b.dy's nativity. A mysterious grotto
similar to that of the Sybil of the Eueid, was pre-
pared for the purpose. This contrivance, joined to
the reputation of the Sybil, inflamed the imagina-
tion of Bergumni, aad the fiutune•tellcr found him
disposed to listen to her with the most entire con-
fidence, when she came to announce to him that
he would humble himself' to be exalted, and that a
great Princess, to whom he would render great
services, would one day make his fortune. Struck
with this oracle, Bergatui, to begin to humble him-
self, quitted the service, and secluded himself in a
cottage, which was certainly not the way to me,:e
the Princess announced to hint by the gypsey pro-
phetess. This idea probably soon occurred to him,
for he left his cot to repair to Turin. He had
learned that a Princess of Napoleon% family had
just arrived there, and he was anxious to know
whethor it was bile who was to change his fate.
On pusiing in &vat of the thstatre, he saw a great
crowd assembled. The Princess had gone in. Pe

We have been most seriously attacked because we
recently stated " that the Attorney General had
disgraced himself by his opening speech," in the
business of the Queen, and " that he ought to have
opened the cane in a speech which might have been
reported in ten lines, and then have proceeded to
call his witnesses, by which course the greater part
of the indecencies would have been sparA, for we
cannot find them elsewhere than in the opening

BOXING.

503

The match between Fred. Strong, the Hampshire
Blacksmith, and the new Black from Baltimore,
(whom fame had represented as being the rival of
the celebrated Alolineux) took place early on Toes.• •
slay morning, on Burnham Spa, in the Forest, nine
miles from Farnham, and as early as six in the
morning groupcs hat assembled to witness the great
combat. Fred. Strong was a tried good ruffian,
with a hide like a bullock. Sam the black had
malleted the blocks of the block-makers on the coast
of Hants, and a purse of 25 guineas was collected
to try with a good one how he liked receiving. He
is under 13 stone, but of Ajax make, and a natural
fighter, with the left hand strait and strong, and
with which he had flattened many a Yanked, smel—
ler. 'The ring was open, and there was no shifting.
Strong was seconded by young Belhorse, and the
black was seconded by Gee, a caulker.
In the first round the black threw out his strait left hand at the
head, and followed over and awkwardly with the right, which
*hewed chat the left only was the mischievous one. Strong, the
lightest man, broke his ground, without availing himself of the
black's short blows. and the latter f.. 11 upon hw face with the
fince of his strength, which bled his nose.
2. This was a gay fighting round, which lasted sixteen mi-
nutes before either would go down. Strong received a flush hit
on the tbrehead with the black's left hand. which sounded like
a lio:low snake. and hit him away. On advancing again he
fought first, and placed a rattling hit upon the black's jaw which
loosened the railing. The black steadied himself for his left
handed blow, but it was mostly avoided, and when so, Strong's
right hand told, for his left was of as little use as the black's.
right, They rallied each other to a stand still, and Strong was
thrown heavily:
3. Strong's right eye was bunged up; and he, as well as the
black, bleed freely, and were piping aloud. when two Johnny
raws appeared with staves like hop poles, to make peace, but the
symbols of authority were used to press the people back, and the
Justices assistants seated themselves during the fight. Strong
changed his system of fighting, and that alone won him the
battle. The black hit short, and received a heavy body blow
which floored him. and put his fighting on one side.
4. Strong was thrown in a close.
I. A manly rallying round was fought, and both were hit
drunk, The black was again floored by a good right banded hit
in the throat, which dropped his head on the shoulder as if for
good.
5,6, and 7. The black's hands were down, and his left handed
punisking was done with, and lie seemed doubled up by the body
hit in the third round.
Slit and last. Both staggering from weakness, until Strong..
unmuaaled, let loose with the right hand at the body, floored
his adversary again, and won the tight. Blackee's second said
•• enough.' or Strong's soon must. It lasted 42 minutes, anti
was a good fight, but there was a want of science to assist man—
hood.
