THURSDAY, Nuvair•tit LI.
CHARGE JO i'llE LiRAND JURY.

The Grand Jury were this morning sworn ut, for the
purpose of inquiring into charges of misdemeanor, anti
other offences alleged to have 1.14:C11 committed in the
county ot Nliddlesex. . . _

Mr. Justice BAY Ley addressed them as follows:
" Gentlemen, you are assembled to execute the impor-
tant duties which devolve on you as Grand Jurors for
the comity of Middlesex. Part of that duty is, to in-
quire carefully and atictitit ely into all ratchets alleged
to hare been embalmed salmi this county. Hera 1
feel at right to state to you, that your jurisdiction does
nut extend beyond the county of Middlesex, except in
some few cases, specifically provided tor by particular
Acts of Parliament. In those peculiar instaimes
power is given to the Grand Jury of one county to in-
quire into offences committed whhin the limit* of an-
other. The principle is, however, by no means gene-
ral j indeed it is applicahle in very tew instances—and
1 am uut aware tll4l ally complaint, relative to circuits-
malacca that have taken place in any other county, is
likely to be submitted to your consideraitoo. It any
thing connected with events that may hare occn-red in
anotiter county anall be brouguvutider yoor 11011 CC, it
will be your duty to examine the Acts of Parliament,
by which a power is given to Grand Juries, in certain
defined mad specified cases, to iiiterkere in *natters that
have taken place beyond the bounds to which their or-
dinary jurisdiction is restricted. The Gaon, if such a
case stiould arise, will give tarry facility, in order to ru-
bble you, Gentlemen, to come ill a proper decision. As

In a few minutes the Grand Jury returned into Court.
The foreman said. I hold in lily hand an indictment,
which relates to events that occurred at Manchester.
and I and uty fellow jurors wish in know whethe► we
cantakecognizince of it?" _

'cite Clerk of the Grand Juries informed their Lord-
ships, that It was au indictment for perjury, preferred
by James Aloor.iouse against James Platt and

was entitled " England lu wit"—and no part of the al-

.N 1 r. J BAYLET—" In this ease, the Jury hare
no jurist' :illott whatsoever. Their jurisdiction extends
old), to o esters committed within the limits of the
county of Middlesex."
A Juryman inquired whether his Lordship had not
matte some observations respecting the right of the Grand
Jury to inquire • offences that had vectored out of
the limits of the county.
Mr. Juance BAYLEY—" I stated that there are certain
Acts itt existence whets give extraordinar; powers to
Grand Juries, in cases specifically pointed out. Perjury
is not, however, one of those vases."
Tile Grand Jury then. withdrew. Another indict-
ment was
ened by %Valiant 1... n ign against William Carlton, for
cuiona and iitatinitig, on the 16tii of August last. Al'.
lel • snort considttation, the Jury sent fig the Acts
tlataig to their extra powers—but not being satisfied
with the information contained in them, they again
applied to toe Court.

entitled, like the former indictment, England to

could and might to proceed in the examination of wit-
nesses

Alr. Justice BATLEY, having examined the statutea,
I have particularly looked at the -13 d ril Gut.
c. 68, on which this indictment is (monied, and I co
not perceive that it gives the Grand Jury only power to
recog ize the niiinicr, which is alleged in have been
co 11111 l Med in :a country out of 'their jurisdiction. The
Jury hate no authority to act here. They cannot pro-
ceed with, nor find such a bill."

hr Grand J.iry then withdrew, and did not again
appear in Court.

THE KING V. MRS. CARLII.R.

Mrs. Cathie, accompanied by a number or friends,
was in Court all the morning, appedt;tig to %hew cause
agaibst the rule obtained by Mr Gurney, fur
Illasplie.bous libels in the form of what is called
a " Muck Trial." The cause was nut, howocr.

with dreadful fury until near six, during which time it
consumed full three-fourths of those extensive premises.
The fire-engines had, however, by this time got into
full play, and the exertions of she fire-men saved the
dwelliug-house and a large pile of waiei ousea to the

at 80,0001. and the amount ensured at .the different fire-
offices is about 65,0001. it has been stated that there

Sta It ALP II A BEHCROMBIE.A correspondent at
Malta observes, it is a disgrace to sec the state of
the tablet over the tomb of the immortal .‘bercrom-
tie. Our readers may remember that this hero was
laid under the pavement of one of the bastions, or
watch towers, at Fort St. Elmo, the dour of which
was built up, and a marble tablet or slab sunk in it,
with an inscription explanatory of the gallantry and
worth of this illustrious man. At present the tablet
is broken, the letters arc covered with mud, and it
threatens to fall from its socket no sentinel is
near the spot, though a couple are on guard at the
elegant monument, after the model of the Temple of
Theseus at Athens, elected to the memory of the
late Governor Ball

The Lord Chancellor has appointed John Camp-
bell, Esq• one of the Masters in the Court of
Chancery, to be Accountant-General of that Court,
in the room of Nicholas Smith deceased. This ap-
pointment is the best refutation of the report that
his Lordship had conferred the Accountant-General-
ship on his son.
A bank of oysters, seven leagues in extent, has
been discovered near Bust, above Antwerp: they are
of very good quality, and if they had a little more
salt they would be equal to the English. They are
brought to Brussels in such quantities, that they are
sold for half a franc per hundred.
Lady Carr, (the widow of the late Spenser Per-
ceval) accompanied by Miss Perceval (her daughter),
was upset in her carriage on Wednesday,at Brighton.
At a Court of Aldermen held on Saturday, it was
resolved that a prosecution should be instituted
against Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr. Sheriff Par
kins, together with Messrs. Thompson, Bumstead,
Hunt, and others, for a conspiracy to obstruct the
regular proceedings in the election of a Lord Mayor,
at the Common Hall held at Guildhall on Michael-
mas-day last.
A legal proceeding of an extraordinary nature is
about to take place at Brussels, in the shape of an
action by Louis Buonaperte, against the reigning
Sovereign of Belgium, tor the value of a country
seat near Haarlem, with its domains and appenda-
ges, which the ex-King had purchased front Mr.
Hope. One of the chief questions in the cause will
be, whether Louis bought the estate with public
money, or out of his own pocket Mercy on us !
how should a cadet of the liaise 4jaccio come
honestly by such a sum as 300,000 florins? Another
question, it is presutred, will be, whether, just pre-
vious to the present King's accession, the said pro-
perty was in Louis Bonaparte. or in the French
Government, viz. that of his own brother Napoleon,
who had expelled him from Holland lung enough
before.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN PL's MOUTH DOCK
YARD.—Tliere is no duty more unpleasant to a
public journalist, the ► that of reconling the, coati
nually occurring instances of human calamity, par-
ticularly when they involve not simply a tatal
catastrophe to one individual, but the untimely
decease., of more than one. with disastrous accidents
to ma-y others. A temporary dam bad begs con-
structed at the stern of the South duck, for the pur-
pose of protecting the workmen, who were pre-
paring tor putting in new gates; about half past
two on Wednesday afternoon. it then being nearly
half-tide, the enormous pressure of water, estimated
at 500 tons, suddenly broke through the dam, and,
coming in contact with the shores supporting a
bridge or brow across, on which were forty or fifty
persons passing and repassing to their duty, it in-
stantly ingulphed the whole in the rushing flood,
which continued in a state of most violent fermenta-
tion for several minutes. Many bouts being near
the basin, by dint of uncommon exertion the spec-
tators succeeded in rescuing and bringing ashore all
who were visible, sonic with broken limbs, and
others with severe contusions, arisi ig front the
furious precipitation of the water, and the timbers
with which the data was constructed. As some
were missing, Mr. Smith, surveyor of the works,
immediately removed the diving vessel from Ha-
moan into the basin, where, notwithstanding the
tnrpid condition of the water, and the confusion of
of the scene, lie promptly descended. After search-
at the bottom stone little time, he brought up the
body of Joseph Crocker, a caulker, one of the mis-
sing, but too late we rivet to say, to save his life.
Shortly afterwards it was ascertained that a seaman
belonging to the ordinary called Libby, was mis-
sing. Mr. Smith descended again in the Lell, but
wit'tout success ; on the tide receding, he was
found in a spot beyond the reach of the diving bell.
Thus by a circumstance, in which blame seems
Imputaide to no one. two lives have been lust, two
had their limbs fractured, and live have received
contusions. A Cormier's Inquest has been held on
the bodies vr the unfortunate deceased, vvidch re-
turned u verdict of—Accidental Death. Crocker,
