LAII INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S III:NCH, !SATURDAY, APRIL 26.

DOE, ON THE DEMISE OF H 4NDLEY, V. WOOD.

The Cornish Mine cause, which has lately excited so much
interest in the West of England, and which MOM on for trial
at the last assizes for Launceston before Mr. Justice Holroyd,
to try the right of Matthew Wood, Esq. the present Lord
Mayor, to the possession of the valuable tin and copper mine,
called Clinic, Mine, in the parish of St. Austcl, was again
agitated this day, when
Mr. Serjeant Best moved the Court, why the nonsuit en-
tered against the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a new
trial granted. It will he rec .liected, that this was an action
of ejectment, on the part of the plaintiff, fur the purpose of
term% ening possession of this mine ; and the question was,
whether :he deed under which the defendant a orked the
mine, opus o lease se mere!), d graMor licence; and BO the trial of
the cause the Attornt,-Cieneral (who a as specially retained)
contended lbst it was a mere heaver, wt winch opinion the
Coin t coinciding, an ejectment woltld not lie, and the plain-
tiff a as nonsuited.

The deed aim now submitted to the consideration of the
Con. Land apeeared to be granted by Sir T. Carlisle to Hal.ll-
- empowering 1 • to dig and search for all mines mid mi.
nerala ; to dig such pits, and erect such shafts, engines,
as should be necessary. By virtue of which works were
erected, and conduits made ; to which was added the usual
clause for re entry, in rase of default of covenant ; as in case
such grant or let had not been made.
The Learned Serjeant now ably contended, that an eject-
ment Mout:, tie iu this case, as such an interest was conveyed
to the lessor of the plaintiff as entitled him to bring an eject.
silent ; and that be should be entitled to the Rule he wes ask-
ing, inasmuch as tae term hi meant frost. That the deed con.
tabled all the cevenauts and clauses of a lease, :sod ei.stld be
construed to mean nothing else but that species Of pm (sporty

MANSION HOUSE.

robbing the house of jr.N Moss, of Brood street, of a quontity
of plate, on Friday evening, under the following extuiordinare
circumstances :—Tioe daughter of Mr. Moss. it appeared.
snout dusk in the evening, hearing a strange noisy upon the
stairs, like the tweaking of glass, rushed 0111 of the silting
room to anemia the cause, and observed a man going towards
the door with a bundie under his arm. She diately ea. e
the alarm, when the prisoner, in his hurry to eseape,Ationbled
and fell. The parcel which lie held also fed from him, the
contents of which were scattered about the postsge. and
proved to be a large quantity of plate and other article* of
value. The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

ARREST OF HONE AND IVOOLMER.

•—•••••••..
Messrs. Hone and Woolmer, the first, the publisher
of the Reformist's Register, and the latter t}.at of the
Black Dwarf, were arrested on Saturday evening
under the new law of libel. We have never been
friendly to the line of polities advocated by these
writers, and still less to the manner in which they
have endeavoured to pmpagate their peculiar views ;
we, nevertheless, regret exceedingly, that Ministers
should have thought it necessary to exercise an autho-
rity, which, if not perfectly novel in its nature, is at
least, very unusual, and should never be resorted to
but in cases of extreme danger to the state. We fear
the cause of Re/brin, as the Register people call it,
will not be checked by such harsh measures as these.

APPREHENSION OF rHISTLEWOOD.

By the exertions of the Home Department, Arthur
Thistlewood, for whose apprehension a large reward
has been offered, was apprehended on Sunday night,
attempting to leave the country for America —At the
same time we understand three other persons were taken
into custody who had concealed Thistlewood since the
Spa-fields disturbance, and who were in the act of as-
sisting him to escape. Gravesend was the spot at which
they were apprehended ; and America, the Land of
Liberty ! their intended destination. On Monday night
he was carried before Lord Sidmouth, Sir. N. Conant,
&c. at the Office far the Home Department, and, after
an examination, which lasted from nine un(11 if? o'clock,
fully committed fly trial, on a charge of high treason.
He was conveyed to Tothili.lields fur the night, but
was removed to the Tower in the course of Wednesday.
He appeared much dejected during his examination.—
With respect to his particular share or coacern in pro-
ceedings of a treasonable nature, it may be recollected
that he is the person who has been represented as hav-
ing ordered the pikes, and as otherwise being a leading
character in the outrages which disgraced the metropolis.
He is understood to be the third man who was with the
two Watsons at Highgate, when the elder Watson was
apprehended by Mid, the Horaepatrole. Notwith-
standing the most vigilant search of the Officers I,f Bow
Street for the last three months, there was no clue to
his apprehension, till the knowledge of the flight of his
associate Watson to America led to the supposition of
his taking the same route. This directed the vigilance
of the Alien Office to the most strict examination of all
the ports fly persons embarking fear America ; and on
Sunday afternom he was apprehended, together with
three of his associates, at Gravesend, as bethre stated,
on his way to America, with his wife and child. They
were first conveyed on board the Flamer, in the Alien
service at Gravesend, and brought to London on Mon-
day morning in the boats belonging to that vessel, from
which they were landed at Whitehall—stairs and sent
in custody to Tuthill—fields Prison.

and agreed to the return of one verdict, before the dis-
covery was made. The master was lined 51., and his
servant ordered to be imprisoned until the end of the

sessions.
Two countrymen, named Clayton and Batts, fought
at a place near Oxtiml on Monday last ; and after u
long exhibition of ferocious hitting, Clayton was killed
by an unlucky blow on the neck. The pugilistic re-
porter tells the story in the usual style of nonchalant
brutality, which men as brutal as himself take for hu-
mour. The deceased never spoke after he fell. There
were finir medical Gentlemen attended him the moment
the accident happened ; but all their exertions were
fruitless. Our informant could not wait for the verdict.

—Batts left the spot immediately after the combat was
over. —We hope the attention of the Legislature will
speedily be drawn to these disgraceful scenes. The lives
of men arc far too valuable to be thus wantonly sported
with.

LONDON PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.
Sir M. W. Ringetir said, in consequence of what had
passed last night on receiving the Petition of the Academical
Society, it would be unnecessary for him to bring forward
the motion of which he had given notice; but he had an-
other instance of ,a similar kind to allude to; and that was,
that of the rennet to licence another Society caked The Len-
ders PkilaseipAiml Middy. This Society applied for a licence
on the 11th of Apwil, and it was then refused, and refused be-
cause a List of tin• Names of the persons forming the Society
was not affixed; and the Howse would be more surprised to
hear, that the Learned Recorder of London was one of the
Magistrates who had thus construed the Act. He did Out
mean to blame these Magistrates ; but lie blamed the framers
of this Act for not barittg rendered it more intelligible. He
concluded by snowing fora copy of the Petition presented to
the Magistrates of London, in Sessions, by the London Aca-
demie Society, on' the 18th of April, together with any order
made thereon.
Mr. Alderman ATatas defended the conduct of the Ma-
gistrates of London. These Magistrates held a Special
Sessions for the impose of receiving the Petition of the
Academics; that Pefition prayed for a licence to hold meet-
ings to discuss Philosophical and Political subjects. This
description not satisfying the Magistrates, they desired the
Petitioners to define what was meant by Philosophical and
Political Subjects ; the Petitioners refused to do this, and
the Magistrates in consequence refused the licence.
Mr. TIERNEY wished the Hon. Alderman would define
what Philosophical and Political Subjects meant; the Hon.
Alderman would perhaps also define what lie cousidered as
being treason.
Mr. Alderman Ara ins said, the Right Hon. Gentleman
had araigned him *difficult task.—(a laugh).
The motion was then agreed to.

Banks should not be laid out in the Funds, winch were a flitc•
mating property, but that it should be paid into tbe hands of

Sir C. MONK stated, that it was his intention also to submit
some clauses, one of which would be to give the Subset ibers
to the Saving Hanks a contronl, to a certain extras', over the

EMBASSY.

The representations of the increasing difficulties
which the supercargoes at Canton experienced, from
the oppressions of the local government, in the con-
duct of the trade there, induced the Court of Directors
of the East India Company, in IS t 5, to think of
sending an Embassy .to Pekin, thr the purpose of en-
deavouring to obtain a redress of the grievances corn-
Plained et; and of forming such arrangements as 'nigh
be likely to prevent their recurrence; a reliamee to the
:Emperor of China himself was deemed the more regal-
fite from a belief that the hostile proceedings of his
'ewers at Canton, were either unknown to him, or
their cause misrepresented. There was another ols-
eet which the Directors had in view ; this was the es-
.,
rablishment, in future, of a direct intercourse with
Pekin, either by means of a resident Minister, or by
written addtesses to sonic tribunal. The Directors
having signified their wishes to his Majesty's Ministers,
the plan of the mission, after some modifications was
mail:, adopted, and Lord Amherst appointed Embus-
salor Extraordinary, and Plenipotentiary, by the Prince
Regent.
Though the subsequent failure of this embassy ex-
cited much public attention and apparent disappoint-
ment, this was by no means the case with those imme-
distely interested in it. The character of tile court of
rain was too well• known to the Directors, to allow
them to look forward to certain success ; and in addi-
tion t) national jealousies, and an aversion from ad-
thittlng strangers to a free intercourse with the inte-
rier of die empire, there were certain points of eti-
quette which presented serious difficulties in any at-
ternllt to ;fain access to the presence of' the Emperor.—
The chief of these is the act of prostration nine times,
on coming into the Imperial presence ; Lord Ilacart-
ney sceeeeded hi getting over this degrading ceremony,
but nothing favourable was anticipated from this pre-
cedent, us there was now another Sovereign on the
throee, and it was well known that a Russian Embas-
sador, in_lBos, had been sent away without an an-
for refusing to comply on this point. Having
,1.--even these preliminary explanations, we shall now en-
ueaveur to present our readers with a general view of
:e contents of the volume before us. Excepting in
that portion of it which relates immediately to the af-
fairs of embasaar, much new, or interesting mutter

INFAMOUS CORSPIRACY.—Mr. Smith, who has a wifesard
large family, who resides at No. 5, Orange-street, Nadi-
friar's-road, was brought by Birch, the constable, from Christ
church watch house, aml was charged before Thomas Evince,
Esq. by Mrs. Payne, a washerwoman, residing in Green-
street, Illackfilar'ssroad, with having violated the person oP
her daughter, Ann Payne, a girl only nine years of age.
Ann Payne stated, that on Saturday night, between six
and seven o'clock, Mr. Smith spoke to her near Mr. Rose's
wine-vaults, Blaek-triars-road, and in a passage near the
bridge lie forced her on the ground,and committed the crime
above-mentioned (the particulars were unblushingly stated to
to the Magistrate): lie left her, and she went home and
formed her mother of the circumstance.
Mrs. Payne, Ilse mother of the above witness, stated, that
her child informed her on Saturday sight of the prisoner's
conduct towards her, and upon her csaininatahrof the child,
she believed her statement was correct.
Mr. Mare, who srsides in the Borough, stated that Mr.
Smith was at his house on Saturday night from half-past five
till seven.
Mrs. Payne said, it must have been Friday night, instead
of Saturday.
Ann Payne, the child, said," 0 yes, it was Friday night,
I remember."
Several witnesses proved that Mr. Smith was at home, and
in his business on Friday night, at the time stated by the girl
to have been passed in her company.
Birch stated, that on Tuesday night the girl was in Black
ftiars.road, and Mr_ Smith was walking along towards his
home, when she desired Birch to take bin; into custody, and
charged him as above stated.
Elizabeth Avis, aged lii, stated, that she was in company
with Ann Payne, and heard her say that the first man that
came up, she would give charge fes• violating her person. Mr.
Smith came up and she gave charge of 11411 44/ Birch, and he
was taken to the watch•hyuse.
Magistrate.—" Are you not ashamed Mrs. Payne, to suffer
your girl to charge a man with a crime which affects his life,
when you know she cannot be believed? I am afraid this is
a base conspiracy. 18 she nut a girl of abandoned cha-
' ranter.?
Mrs. Payne.—" She certainly is a bad girl; she ran away
from home ; I cannot tell what to do with her."
Mr. Aldir, a surgeon, stated, that he had examined the
child, and to his great astonishment, (being intormedot her
age,l found her very much affected with the foul disease ; he
thoughts the charge false, tnr Mr. Smith was in -perfect
heal tit .
Ntattistrate.--" I Did not think it Itopsible for one so yoang
to be so depraved.; 1 am satisfied the charge is without foun-
dation ; I wish I bad the p..vra:r of intlictinga punishment
upon bee.
The prisoner was discharged.

COBBETT'S REOMER.--MOllday J. Mat fit lane was charged
with hawking for sale Cobbett's Politica! Register. In the
of the examination, the defendant's brother in-law stated,
that he called on Charles Cook, the informer, who told him if
lie gave lii in three guineas fir himself and Mr. Dmine, the
Solicitor to the Hawkers' and Pedlars' Offlee, be would dis.
charge the prisoner without bringing the case t.:fore the Ma-
gestrates ; and then he produced a letter mitten by Cock,
and which he gave him, to Ale. Donne, but Mr. Mame not
being at home. he did not see hint. Cook retaliated, and
said the last witness ()tiered him live guineas to settle it, and
that he gave him the nine to Mr. Donne to get rid of him.
The Magis►rates remarked, this was a ease which ought to
be represented to the Commissioncrs of the Hawkers' and
Pedlars' Oilier, but had nothing to do with the eharge before
them, which was folly proved. The defendant was convicted
iii the penalty of aZatinst which he appealed.--Sir Na-
thaniel Comiant and Mr. [taker sat alone with the presiding
Magi'•trate ; and a Gmtleinau fr the Illawkeis and Ped-
lars' Office attended in behalf of the prosecution.

would lose much of its infbienCV, and would descend limn
that situation in which the Constitetion had placed it. The

but from the House of Commons, a circumstance which
would vitally injure the balance established between the
King and the people.
Lord 13.mtuu5T eNpressel his surprise that any of the
Noble and Learned Lords should have advanced su^it doc-

Crown. it was sahl that the Cruwtr would lose it's na-

no act of the King fur which seine Nlinis:er was not revpon•

the Minister frost the sovereign. It was said also that the
Compensation Bill alln•wtd 110 election to the Crown. He
granted that the twi:lthur of iwmions wa.; limited, but it was
clear that fey these pensions there t‘onlil be several candi-

Mr. l'utermsN saw many objections to the Bill, as it mast
generate discontent and dissentious in parishes. He had no
objection to a Bill fur enlarging parish churches, but as fur
