The pre entation of the Sunlk Agricultural pe-
titioa, by Mr.Gooch. took place on Thursday
airarded the Marquis of Londomkrry an opportunity
l'or a coarse juke, which he embraced, and for which
he was submitted to the keen sarcastic reproof of Mr.
Msedonald—a reproof vi kid' his Lordship's habits
even did not steel him against, and he explained in
apo!ogy for his ill-timed levity.—Ministers may joke,
and do joke, and will joke, but they should remember
that while a whole nation is reduced to beggary by
their mal-administration the petitions of the people
should at least be received with the appearance
sLriousness and commisscration. The reduction
in the number of the Lords of the Admiralty mill
La carried into elllxt by the removal or one of
the three laj Lords and one gallant Admiral who
has a seat at the I3Jard—to explain this would
Le &lit:knit, if we did not kilow that the other two
Icy Lords have seats in the Ilouse of Commons,
and that the poor Admiral who goes to the right
about, has no Parliamentary influence.

The Special Sessions under the Insurrection Act

the same day: On that and the following day 17
individuals were tiled at Limerick, sonic on in 3.ict-

ADMIRALTY SESSIO2OII.

On Monday last, at nine o'clock, a Commission for the
trial of offences on the High Seas, within the jurisdiction
of the Admiralty of England, was opened at Justiceliall,
in the Old Bailey; before the Right Lion. kord Stutteli,
Mr. Justice liolroyel, Burroughs, Mc.
John Parker, a private soldier he the gth Regiment of
Foot, was then peat upon his trial, for a misdeinea aaaaaa r,
in attempting to commit a nameless crime with a boy of
she FaITIC corps, named Robert Hunter, on board of a
ship culled the Eagle, ou the voyage to Ilarbadoes, iu
June last.
The prosecution was conducted by Sir C. Robinson.
Mr. Littledale, and Mr. Rolland, on behalf of the Crown.
-the evidence was perfectly conclusive, and the Jury
found him guilty.
Robert Hunter, the boy, was neat tried for the same
offence, and also found guilty.
The two ptisoncrs were then placed at the bar; and
Lord Stout-11, alter some Impressive observations, sen-
tenced them to be imprisoned fur tit months in Newgate,
and during that lime to be twice privately whipped.
7 he Gland Jury returned a ei ne bill fora capital felony
agaie“ three men, charged with attempting to scuttle a
ship at sea ; but the trial was po•tpcued, ou the applica-
tion of Mr. Holland, in consequence of the absence of
necessary witnesses, alto lied been detained at a distant
part by contrary winds.
Their bring no other business. the Court adjourned.

FATAL Occuariesrat—AtDarlington, on Tuesday
evening last, a young woman of the name of Mary
Robson swallowed a large quantity of laudanum, winch
caused her death the foilowii.g morning. It appears she
had hero on the point of being mar 1'44 far Millie time
past, but the SINCIUITS of the new marriage act 11.1t1 pre-
vented her, and made a serious impression on her mind,
which led, it is supposed, to her untimely end.—Curo-
tier's verdict, Insanity.
N 1 YSTSIt lOUS A /TA! R.—On Thsusday last, smite gen-
tlemen f Mansfield, who were bunting, in passing
through Harlow Wood, found wrapped up in a rough
manner, in a bundle, a gown and frill, winch were much
torn and clotted with blood, appearing to have been re-
cently done; also a pair of b!ack worsted stockings,
winch had every appearance of having been hastily
pulled oft, and the whole looked as if violence had been
used. What adds to the suspicion that murder has been
co 11111 l 'tied is, that a man and Woman were sett) loge-
titer near the wood, and the man was afterwards seen
AIMIC with an hrella and a bundle. The artichs
above stated are deposited at the toll-bar, near die Ilia
cavem, and we sincerity hope they lead to the elu-
cidation of the affair.

LONDON SESSIONS.

The well-known Charles Crowder, who has appeared so often
before the public, his wife, Mary, and his ~,,, nt maid, were
indicted for keeping a most abominable and dangerous brothel,
in Union-court, Holborn Hill.
At first the defendants pleaded not guilty, but by the advice
of their Solicitor they retracted that plea, sod admitted their
guilt.
The Recorder, is passing sentence, observed, that it was
his duty to consider that this was not a commas case of keep-
ing a brothel : it had no reference to the orderly houses which
eatue ander that denomination, and therefore the severity of the
Court must be earcised upon it. He then sentenced Crowder
to imprisonment fur nix months, and his wife to imprisonmen
for two. He drew the necessary distinction in a favour of tht
servant, whom,be delivered into the hands of her mother, wit-
en admonition to mother and daughter, as to the future employ
/pent of the latter.
James Earl was indicted for an assault upon John Glover.—
This case arose out of one of those disgraceful contests for par-
avagers which are daily oecarriug amongst the stage coaskinets
of the metropolis.
The defendant was found guilty.
The Recorder said every one seemed satisfied with the ver-
dict. The public most be protected in their right to go into
alt coach they chose. He then sentenced the defendant, who
had been in prison a considerable time, to be detained there 14
days longer.

LONDON, 31ONDAY, DECEMBER 9.

The decision of the " infernal Alliance" is made
known, and the legitimate slaves of France are to
be permitted to murder the Constitutional heroes of
Spain—" while powerless England stands like a ci-
pher in the great account"—that same England that
stood forward to prevent.the interference of the great
Napoleon with the wishes of the Spanish pcople—
whose limo(' and treasure flowed co freely in defence
of Spanish Independence, now submits to look on
while those wishes arc opposed—and that independ-
ence destroyed by a power under the guidance of a

King, whu is hatcd by all those whose contempt

does nut supply a protection apinst so ranconais a
feulinfr, as hatred. The Duke of Wellington is said
by some to have been out-witted, by others to have
been out-argued, and by others to have been Out-
bullied ; we can believe ull these statements, but we
should be glad to know how it was that he arrived
at Verona without positive directions on so impor-
tant a point from which be would nut have dared
to deviate—how was it that Mr. Canning, who had
so glorious an opportunity of erecting a fair share
of popularity on the scitc of the hatred with which
be is at present viewed by all Europe—how is it
that he negle,:ted a line of conduct that might have
ensured his salvation from the execrations of all

YOVNG V. HARLING.

This action was !nought by the plaintiff, a widow and admi-
nistratrix, to ricover 501. alleged to have been Nut by her
deceased husband to (he defendant.

Wells, the plaintiff's father, an old man, proved
that the husband had made his daughter, the plaintif, pencil
down what ►ums were owing to the deceased.
On his cross-examination by Mr. Gurney, this witness ad-
mitted that his daughter, the plaintiff, was served for several
years to James Young, the deceased, who, being eitremely
ill, came to London, and was married to witness's daughter
only 24 hours before be died.
Mr.Cuiney, fur the defendant, contended that this was no-
thing hut a conspiracy between the father and daughter.
The Lord Chief Justice observed, the question for the lacy
was, the credit they would give to the evidence of t►e father
of the deceued, as opposed to the testimony of thin father of
the widow. The interest of both the fathers in the cause; his
Lordship observed, was nearly equal; and the one was as
likely to be biassed in his testimony as the other. The Jury
would say to which of the stories credit attached.
The Jury, without hesitation, found for the plaintiff.—Da-
mages 451. and costs.

GAMING HOUSES.

THttRsDAY, Dec. 3.—Tbis was an appeal hp John de Begne,
J. Jsckson, John Marc, Louis Lane, James Thomas, Edward
Roberts, and ten others, agzinst their coiiietion as rogues and
vagabonds, under the act of the 3d Geo. IV., by Thos. Halls,
Esq. one of the Magistrates of Bow•street police offi.-e.
The greater number of the appellants were present during
the heariug of this appeal, and from the general hitt test eli-
cited by the novelty of the case, the Court was crowded to
ellecas.

Mr. Andrews appeared on behalf of the respondents to aupr
port the conviction, and commenced by stating the principal
facts, which be would prove by evidence. There facts brie
already been most fully detaileti in the police reports. It will
be recollected that the appellants were all taken on the 12d of
o,tober, in a house No. 33, Pall-wall, by a stratagem of some
of the officers of Bow-street, and carried in coaches to the
public oak .e.

Mr. Alley appeared as counsel on behalf of the appellants,
and was heard at length against the conviction. The objections
were reduced to two principal heads-Ist, with respect to the
evidence, and 2,1, with regard to the form of the conviction.—
With respect to the first objet ion, the words of the conviction
were these—" and I. the said Justice, having informed inyeelt'
by lb: examination of the said James Jackson (here the names
of the other individuals are mentioned) and of James Smith
(the names of the officers are inserted), the constables who
apprehended the said James Jackson, and brought before me,
and of others, upon oath." He contended that the latter
" upon oath',' only applied to others, and not to the constables,
or the other parties examined, and therefore that there could
have been no conviction %ma oath, and the conviction must
he necessarily bad.
Mr. Andrews replie I.
The Chairman of served, the words of the conviction were
that the parties 'did play" at an unlawful game, now their
presence in the house was proved, but not that they did
play." That be conceived was not sufficient. and his opinion
therefore was that tha conviction most he quashed.
The parttes were set at liberty.

TRIESTE, Nov. 14 —Letters worthy of credit,
twin Corfu of the 25th October, and from Drago-
mestie of the end of the same month, give the fol-
lowing accounts:—" After the surrender of Suli,
respecting which there are various opinions, it was
resolved to send Captain Warnakiotes and Captain
!skies to Mount Comboli, where Omer lirione was,
is order to have a conference with him. This cir-
i:umstance gave rise to a report that Warnakiotes
had a desire to submit to the Turks, but the latest
atecounte explein the matter vety ditl'ereutly. War-
oakenes really went to Otner Ilrione under that
pretext, and had a conference with him ; bet, in
fact, he had a secret counnisson from the Chiefs to
'Amer% e the strength and eituat ion of the enemy, nod

'raving fulfilled the object of his mission, he re-

corps in Acarnattia is 5,000 men, which, favoured
by the.teatureof the ground, is sufficient to !limier
the advanee of the enemy. Omer had indeed 12,000
taco sometime ago, but the disputes between the
Albanians in Epirus have Induced many of them to
leave the Paelet and return hcme. The cause of
these disputes is, that some of the Albanians are
disposed to recognise Omer as Pacha of Jounnina,
while the others would prefer the son of the l'acha
of Beret, Ibrahim. It' the dispute is not soon set-
tled, Many edventages may accrue from it to the

Gross OUTBACK BY TOLL COLLECTORS: Two toll COl-
lectors of Vauxhall-bridge, named Menzies and Brunet.
and a Bow-street patrol, minted Turner, were charged
with having committed an outrageous assault upon Mr.
Phillips, a coal merchant, residing in Sloaue•street.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Phillips, and
three other witnesses; that cm the Sunday of the 14th of
July last, he was going at between nine and ten at night,
over Vauzliall-bridge, with his wife, two children, and
his friend Mr. Lyons.' It was proved clearly that the toll
was paid for all the party, but the defendant seised Ali.
Pliillip's son, who is a cripple, roughly, and threw biro
from the gate, saying, that he had not paid the toll.—
Mr. Phillips renionstiated asaiost the brutal conduct of
Menzies, and requested that the child might be allowed
to pass, as his toll was paid. Menzies replied, in the
most insolent matinee, 6' It's a lie, and he shan't pass."--
Mr. Phillips paid twice, but requested to know Mensies'
name, but it was out hung up on the outside of the toll-
house, as required, and the defendant insisted upon hav-
ing that of Mr. Phillips before lie gave his. Mr. P.
gave his card, hot the defendant in the mos• insulting
manner, threw it In the road. Mr. P. then endeavoured
to get into the loll•house to obtain the 113111., but the
other collector, Bennet, came out, and both seised him,
shook, and struck him against the rails. Whilst they held
him, the called out 66 Constable, constable, take this
fellow into custody;" when the defendant, 'Earner, made
his appearance iu an instant, and without making any in-
quiry Into the merits of the case, at once struck Mr. P.
a dreadful blow on the head with his staff of office,
which made him bleed profusely. Mr.•lquus interfered

amicable communication which he had with sonic of
Ili* tenants who had kept a regular account of the init.
goings and expences of their farms, and which accoimi
lits Lordship had investigued, it was clear that a reduc-
tion of rent was necessary. for he was quite satisfied in
Ins oust mind. that the ;educed price of the produce of
the land was now permanently establish.d. since our
return to payments in sovereigns and shillings. and he
did nut %visit to hold nut any delusions that corn would
kWh a bilker price; he was satisfied in hill own
that it could ton ; it 1114011 lillettlale a little according to
Sellbolls, but in no material degree; and his Lotdship

luipleSsillal that the ;Average of corn 11l tile year. 1793-

expect it iu keep.
His Lordship stated farther. that he expected each

the declaration that a male kept a greyhound for the de-
struction of game, and then the question is, how do yon
prove the destruction? I cannot allow that the mere
keeping a dog is proof of the killing of game, or that it
must he presumed such was the object et' the party.--
proof of the killing is required. if it were not so, a man
who keeps a setter or hitcher, to defend his house, or fol.
low his carriage, or fur the amusement of his children,
would be liable to the penalty—which it never mold be
the intention of the Legislature to impose In such a case.
Mr. Justice itayley.—‘ll proceedings under the blh
of Anise, which have come within my experience, have
required evidence not only to Shaw that the defendant
kept dogs and engines for the destruction of grime, but
that lie actually destroyed game.
Mr, Justice Hulroyd stated a ease tried at York, namely
an action in Troyer, against a Magistrate, for seising a
slog, and. as it was not kept for sporting pm-poses, the
Court held, that the parties hail no right to seise it.
Mr.Joistice Best said, this was an action on a penal sta-
tute, and it required a strict einistructiou. PertiollS got
their livelihood by training and bringing np dogs, and
every one of that class would he liable, if the rigid con-
struction contended for was to be allowed. He bad never
known an action in which the mere keeping of a dog was
sufficient to convict the party.

bable that both England and France will have to
Lanent the cold and neutral policy which they
ti.lopted on that memorable occasion. The Sultan,
it is observed, is placed in a most perplexingdilemma.
If he accedes to the demands of Russia, the Janis-
saries will instantly rebel, destroy the Seraglio, and
involve him and his family in destruction ; and if he
resists the demands, the Turkish territory will be in-
vaded by a numerous Russian army, and away goes,
at once, the balance of Europe, and all the grand
schemes of the Holy Alliance.

On Wednesday last this venerable nobleman assem-
bled his tenants occupying farms under Isis Lordship, at
Mihon house, where they had been previously requested
to g ve their attendance, by a circular front his Lordship's
steward, William Simpson, Esq. The noble Earl rt.
ceieed his numerous tenantry in the great hall ; alit r
each wag seated, his Lordship informed them that ha
had taunt into Isis most serious consideration their situ.
atiou as farmers in the present state of the times; by an
amicable communication which lie had with some of
his worms who had kept a regular account of the out-
goings and emir nets ol their fa , stud which account
his Lordship had investigated, it was clear that a reduc-
tion of rent was necessary, ha he was quite satisfied ill
his own mind, that the reduced price ()I' the produce of
the land was now immanently establish,al, since our
room to payments in sovereigns gild shilliogs, and he
dal not visit to kohl out any sielosiotts that corn would
fetch a better price; he was satisfied in Isis own mind
that it couhl nut ; it might fluctuate a little according to
SC2IIOIIII, hut in nu material degree; and his Lotdalsip
of opniioit, that any alteration its the Clais laws could
slot posribly base the effect of raising the price the
produce of the land—he did not mean to hold out any
such hopes—he had therefore tedeced his rents, under an
impression that the average of corn in the years 17y2-
94, and 95, was about the standard at which we noglit
expect it to keep.
His Lordship stated farther, that lie expected each

IMPORTANT CA lo"TION TO INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

\V. I)onnet, an insolvent, who had been discharged
under the act in June last, came up on Wednesday to

had be, it obtained on an affidavit wade by the insolvents
assignee, stating that since the insolvent's discharge he
(i he assignee) had ascertained that the nisolvent, who
was arrested in Dover, on his way to 'l:rauce, in the
month of January last, had a few days before his arrest
invested 301. in the public funds, its his own name, and
the name of Charles.llsltztl, a young man in his employ-
silent, which remained standing in their joint names till
the day after the infolvent's discharge, when it was
transferred. It appeared the insolvent's schedule did not
c.aitain any nient,on of his having money in the funds.
Tile insolvent, who is a Frenchman, and has beets
London for some years, as a fitter tip of gas-light ap-
paranis, stated on his examination, that the 5d.11 invest.

haulier last year they calcislated the wages due to 'Mad,
and it atimunted to 51ti. 17s. which was then paid hitn;
and when the insolent was going to Paris, out business,

but he positively denied that tie had any interest in the
money, or that he received any part of it ; nothing more
Vaau a share of a pot of beer that Diktd gave him, atter

This was an information tried at the last Summer Assizes,
before Mr. Justice Richardson, on which the defendant was
found guilty.
Mr. Justice Beat read the record of conviction, and the evi-
dence on the trial. The charge was fur cruelty, oppression,
and tyranny towards the prisoners committed to his charge.
He was recommended to mercy ou account of his good clots
racier.
The defendants affidaviCstated, thatithe act of which he was
convicted, was totally unpremeditated. That his father was a
tradesman, who failed, and that an early age he left his father.
and never called on him for a shilling. He was private and
sergeant of tenciblee, afterwards mate of a prison-ship. That
during • period of six yeari b a conduct was nes er made the
sohject of complaint. The affidavit farther set forth the defer •
tive regulations of Ilchester Gaol, which rendered it difficult
for him to act. That the prisoner Gardner war a violent and
outrageous character, end the other a female guilty of picking
pockets. That the sugsestion of the punishment of a bli.ter
originated with Mr. Dryer, a surgeon, who suggested it to de-
ponent. That ',the irons in use at this prison were reduced in
weight nearly one half. That divers ill-disposed persons bail
printed and circulated malignant libels to the prejudice of his
character.
An affidavit was put in of Sir John Ackland, chairmen of
the Quarter Sessions, in support of the defendant's good cha-
racter.
Mr. T. Smith, captain of one of the' balks at Woolwich,
• gave the defendaut a high diameter. Affidavit of Anderson,
who cauiritanded the 2il regiment of the Somerset Fencihles,
likewise spoke to his good conduct as a soldier. Affidavits rat
V. Starkey, Esq. and another, High Sheriffs of the count.,
likewise giving a high character of the defendant—of Edward
Coles, Esq. Clerk of the Peace of said county, all excellent
character—of Richard I'tke, principal turnkey at lichester
Gaol, that the said R. Bridle was a niost humane unit tender
hearted man —corroborating the defendant's affidavit to tae
violence of Thomas Gardner's conduct, ari justifying the pu-
nishment inflicted. S•indry affidavits of prisoners tinder his
charge, being employed as his Resistants, likewise spoke as to
the good conduct of the defendant, and to the outrageous and
even blasphemous conduct of Thomas Gardner.
These affidavits took upwards of an hour's reading.
Mr. Williams for the defendant stated, that he bad a great
many more affidavits to the dike sect, but whieh, to save the
time of the Court, he should not read. The learned counsel
was about to address the Court in mitigation, but the Court
thought the affidavits quite sufficient, and asked if the Attorney
General bad any thing to any in aggravation.
Mr. Williams then proceeded to observe, that the only
offence that the prisoner bad committed was ioflictiug an un-
authorised punishment. He conteudeed the punishment bad
been [revoked by the prissier, but admitted the defeidaat was
