MONDAY, JANUARY 7•

Those miserable Puppets of superior villany,
Messrs. Shackle, Arrowsmith, and Weaver, (the
'winters and proprietors of the Ma Bull) had a mu-
row escnpe on Wednesday last, under an indict-
ment for libel on the character of the Countess of
Jersey.—lt appears that they had sworn, in the affi-
davit at the stamp-office, that the paper was pub-
lished in Dyer's-court, whereas the fact was, that it
was published in Johnson's-court, Fleet-street—it is
usually an axiom that a man shall not plead his
guilt in one way to save himself from another crime,
but somehow or other this laudable rule was here
overlooked, and the Jury declared by their verdict,
that the defendants were " Not Guilty"—thus they
had an opportunity fin- temporary triumph—as the
man who is acquitted of the worst crimes to which
human nature is incident, may exult that his prose-
cutor has mistaken the parish in which the offence
WiLS committed, by which the delinquent escapes the
well-merited gallows—but they were not so fortu-
nate on Friday last, when their trial came on for
libels on her late lamented Majesty—the indictment
set out only five out of five hundred, for which they
might have been prosecuted, and the Jury instantly
found a verdict of " Guilty" against all three of the
defendants. Of the censurable and unjustifiable
nature of these libels it is impossible to speak ton
strougly, and we devoutly believe, that to the

After the Patent had been read. the oath of Chief

by the Clerk of the Privy Council.
The Marquis %Veliesley now produced to the Lord

which being read by the Privy Councillor, the Lord
Lieuteuant then delivered the Sword of State to the

with the Collar of the Most Illustrious Order of St.

retired. Another royal salute was now fired from the

Thus did the good Earl Talbot resign into the hands of
his successor toe high and important trust which he had
discharged with such honour to I self, such benefit to

DREADF(7. G. ILE.

MARGATE, OCT.l4.—Between one and two
o'clock this morning, a rematk,.bly sudden gale of
wind came on from the north-east, which in a few
minutes increased to a perfect hurricane, and conti-
nued unabated till daylight. The most alarming
apprehensions were entertained, which were, us the
day approached, unhappily verified. The first ob-
ject of distress that presented itself was a vessel on
shore upon the Nayland Rock the crew were for-
tunately saved, but the title flawing at the time
she drif ed higher and higher, and now lies close,
under the cliff near the Sea Bathing Infirmary,
with sonic scores of patrons with carts and horses
removing the cargo; her name is the Good Intent,
regular trader between Cowes and London. Would
to God, fir the sake of humanity, that this disas-
trous storm had been confined to the loss of property
only; but a brig that was seen at anchor in the
evening. about a mile from the Lon, Nose, or
Fairness Dock, was, alas! seen fin. the last time.—
The morning presented nothing but pieces of wreck
floating ashore, seamen's chests, spars, deck planks,
&e. She must, as the wind blew directly upon the
rock, have gone to pieces in the night, and every
soul on board have perished. The officer on the
preventive swim with great promptitude seized
the chests; and with equal fe,ling, declined open-
ing them kr the ptesent The naive of the vessel
is pretty well known ; but as sonic doubts may
exist, it would be cruelty to the relatives of the
ship's company to mention it, before all doubt is
removed. Nor does this end the catalogue—for the
topmasts and yards are distinctly seen floating, with
other parcels of wreck, of um.ther ship, about halt'
roads across. She must have foundered at her an-
chorage; particulars of course unknown. At five
o'clock, p. m. a fine f.!:2-inch cable is just going ofd'
to the Honourable Company's ship Vansillarl, Capt.
Dalrymple, which has rode out the gale in fine
style.

THE NATIONAL HLGISTER

Government is desirous that the Cortes should make
addition of 37,9.-.6 infantry, and 7,637 cavalry,
to include the replaciab of the sold.ers retiring after
the completion of th.ir period of service which had
ken decreed by the preceding Cortes. This mea-
sure w.cs stated to be necessary, not only from the
important services the army has to perform, but also
fOr the public advantage, anti the con.olidation of
the constitutional system.
After some conversation, this application was re-
ferred to the consideration of the tsar committee.

The Madrid papers contain very little intelligence
front the armies. The following paragraph, from
the Universal of the Bth, gives the latest accounts
of NI irkis operations:—
" We have seen letters from the head-quarters at
Caluf, dated the 30th ult., wh:ch state, that on the
27th, the factious to the number of 3,000 had ven-
tured to approach that town. Gen. Mina having
immediately advanced ut the head of only 1,000 in-
fantry and 200 horse, soon chasti:•ed their insolence,
and compelled them shamefully to take refuge in the
fortified position of Castelfillit. These letters fur-
ther atute, that Gen. Mina had proceeded no father
in consequence of the heavy artillery, for which he
was waiting, not having arrived. But we are as-
sured that advices of a later date announce the tak-
ing possession of the position of Custelfollit by the
constitutional troops."

CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.

We know not when we have met with observa-
tions which have pleased us so much as some on the
sabject of our sanguinary Criminal Code, which
appeared in the list number of The Lo.idola Museum
—they arc as follows:
The will of society has set up and armed it remorseless power,
which may Ire said to be drunk with the blood of miserable and
mist tken criminals. That rower is Law ; red-robed, sangui-
nary. fierce-eyed, unreleming law. En4lanil colts hers.:ll a
Christian country ; and the first title of her King is ' Defender
of the raith.' But does the Christian lAD: that sanction those
terrible decrees by which the penaity of blood is naked to so
tnaoy so I so different otfences, in which the (121;rees of evil to
iiiiiikin I are of such urines proportions? No we boldly
slirm it does not : those delectable laws that take life fur light
Mfences .re contrary to the mild spirit of Christianity, and are
ao olfe:we against its divine founder. It tiny perhaps be urged,
thst the poser of life and death is deleg ited by the ninny to
fiat law which is referred by some theorists to the voice of the
M:134 of society. Hit we won'd ask if society—that is, any
on.nlier, definite or indefinite, tit matters nit wiii.:4l) of indivi-
du ils —can delegate that;which not one of them possessed—the
right to take his own life !—Either our laws are murderers, or
that sent: ee is an absurdity which pronounces the than who puts
an end to his own life, Felu de se. The ti:ue will crone, we are
p,rsuatithl, Dion?: long years lutist first elapse, when the opinions
entertained on this subject by the friends will prevail over the

ferocious spirit bre idled at present by our criminal code, so
disgraceful to a civilia,l nation, the enactments of which are
so mottatrous, that we may even be justified in averring that the
Judges cannot fulfil them to the letter. So touch indeed does
human nature revolt from their horrible tyranny, that we daily
see compassionate juries tampering with their oath, if not ith-
solutely ennunittinz perjury, in order to save the miserable
creatures whoa a few shillings more in the value of a stolen
commodity gifts over to the executioner !"

PRI V A 112 CORRESPONDENCE.

Patna, Ocr. English Goveniment
mes-
senger arrived in Paris on Sunday, with despatches
from the Duke of Wellington at Vienna, which he
left on Sattirdal the sth mat. His Grace had jast
been present at a review of the troops in garrison in
the Austrian capital in the morniog, and was about
to set out for Verona when the messenor came
away. His carriage was at the door, and all his
servants were in reuditiffs to start. The same mes-
senvr, who did not proceed further than Paris, set
out Last night at eight o'clock titan the hotel of the
English Embassy, with despatches tar his Grace at
Verona, As a report prevailed that the road by the
Simplon had been blocked tip by snow, the wes,en-
ger was to proceed by Lyons, Chambery, Mont
Collis, end fority which is the usual po4.road from
Italy, and is 0 all the year.
'foe Marquis of Londonderry had left Vienna for
Verana, and did not mean to return after Congress
to the discharge of his diplomatic duties at the
Court of Austria, He had broken up his establish-
ment, sold his horses, discharged his servants, alai
disposed of every thing which was not necessary fur
his journey, or whieh he did not mean to take home
will* him- Here, therefore, hi a little patronage to
the •new Foreign Minister—probably the first wind- I
fall of (Ace since his aprietnie,.t.

Greece and Spain continue to be talked of as likely
to give the Congress much troub:e. especially if, ►s
is said, the two Emperors are divided as to the
course to be pursued regarding the latter. It is
generally understood that the Duke of Welling-tutt
bears a representation of the British Cabinet against
any interference by foreign three, and this nt,.y turn
the scale. Conversatio., is also employed on the
subject of the states of Italy, as it is said that some
changes will be etlected in them. This, however,
is all matter of conjecture.
It appears, from 1144h1y credible accounts, that
the Turks have been forced to retreat Irma the
Mores by want of provisions, and that they suffered
severely in their retreat by the attacks of the Gfteks.

ROYAL AND BRITISH INSTITUTION FOR THE
EDUCATION OF THE POOR.

On Friday last the annual meeting of the friends and
supporters of this excellent institution W 39 held at the
school-house, in North-sweet, City-road, where a nume-
rous and respectable atttlidance took place.
Mr. Alderman Wood was requested to take the chair,
which lie did, and regretted the absence of the Duke of
Sussex. whose indisposition could be the ouly cause of
his nun-attendance as the meeting.

Mr. Wilkes, the secretary, now read the report, from
which it appeared that ihe institution was in a very
flourishing state, and had met with the most liberal
support of the public. Since the year 1813, the society
had received under is care 4,433 boys, and the numbs r
had been increased to 4,808—0 f these 2,501 were taught
to read and write, anti 2,307 had been completed its the
rules of arithmetic. Within the last eight bears 580 girls
had been admitted into the schools, and taught n title-
work and the rudiments of education, and 217 now re-
mained in the school, the dimensions of wh cit were so
very extensive, that assure could be received.—lt also
stated, that 30001. have been expended in the erection
of two commodious schools, and there only remained a
debt of 3001. which it Was anticipated would be liqui-
dated by that day's subscriptions, anti others nt hand.—
The children were clothed according to their good con-
duct and punctuality, and in the course of the year hand-
some benefits had been received through the medium of
amateur concerts-
Olt the report being read, several of the children, ob-
jects of the institution, were conducted 111L0 the room.-
-They were neatly clad, and had the appearance
of being well treated. Being placed in rotation, each
of them produced some specimen of their forward.
nets in education in its various branches, and the tatedle
work and writing extracted the highest eulogies of the
company. Several read passages out of the Bible, and,
what was very interesting, sonic of the girls were so en-
thusiact.e in their thirst atter Scriptural knowledge, as to
purchase bibles out of their own private pocket money.
'rne boys and girls did not Exceed ten and twelve

years of age, and 'heir examination elicited the warmest
approba ' . The most meritorious were rewardril
with silver medals, with the impression of his Majesty's
coronation.

- -
Several speeches were delivered, and a handsome col-
lection was made at the doors. The male part of the
company afterwards adjourned to the Loudon Tavern,
whore a sumptuous dinner was provided.
Wm% Esq. M.P. in the chair. A numerous company
vat down to dinner, and the festival was supported with
the highest cordiality.

Mr. WESTERN replied to the noble lord, and blamed

and contended that the proposed plan wort ,1 not afford

Mr. RICARDO said, lie differed from the noble mat (-pis
on totally important points, and, as all amendment uu his
tesol whin, he proposed Ihr following :
" That it is expedient to provide that the foreign corn
now under lentil in the United Kingdom may lie taken
out for home consiimpe.ott, whenever the average mice of
wheat, ascertained in the usual mode, shall exceed tiss. a

eater the value of a portmanteau lost is the journey fro. Low,
don to Hastings. The plaintiff being desirous of passiag • few
days at Hastings, applied at the Belle Sausage Inn to go by

mised to pay the plaintiff's loss, but failing to make compensa-
tion, the pi client action was brought.

We mention this story to say that it is false from begin.

between the two Courts arises, we rather think, from the
non-payment of a subsidy, agreed open when is was con-
sidered necessary to detach Persia from the interest of
France. then under the dominion of Bitonaparte.' and
which the British resident refused to pay, become, as it
is reported, the Persian troops were engaged in a MIN

disagreement between the two couu.ries sail speedily be

THE NATIONAL REGISTER

FIKE.-011 Friday morning, between six and seven
o'clock, the neighbourhood of Bermondsey was thrown
into the greatest confusion by a volume of flame and
smoke issuing from the extensive premises of Messrs.
Christie's, hat manufacturers—the wind being strong,
for some time the fire threatened desuuction to the whole
44 the neighbottriug houses. Fortunately there was a
good supply of Water, by which, seconded by the prompt
exertions of the firemen, the devastating element was
subdued without vxtendin4 beyond the premises, to
which, and the poperty thereto, considerable damage
is done.
On Monday night, the house of Capt. Sanders, Kent-
road, was horglariously entered, and robbed of money,
plate, and linen, to the amount of about 1501. The
thieves gaioctl admission at the hack first floor window,
by means of a ladder, and are supposed to have been a
considerable time on the premises, as they made a very
nice selection of the property. _

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.
Ministers were laughed at when they urged the
necessity of having a nursery kept up, at the public
cxpence, for the cultivation of political talent—that
necessity, however, is now apparent, and the misfor-
tune is, that the expence has been incurred without
the efficient advantage which ought to have been
derived from it, for although the late Foreign Secre-
tary has been dead nearly three weeks no successor
has as yet been found for him—had he been a Pitt
or a Fox, as those were men of a share of mind
seldom bestowed on human nature, the existing
difficulty might not be so wonderful, but with
abilities by no means splendid—with a mind
so wanting of elastic capacity as to have fallen
under the weight laid upon it, that a diffi-
culty should arise to supply the place of so mediocre
a character, is a fact at once surprising to us, and
humiliating to our National Character—such is
nevertheless the fact.—His Majesty returned to
Carlton House shortly after five o'clock—and for
this day a Cabinet Council is summoned, which
will be occupied by the very dilicult consideration
of how to fill up the chasm created by thellihith
the Marquis of Londonderry !!

We understand that Sir Lowry Cole is appointed
to the government of the Mauritius, in the room of
Governor Farquhar, who returns to England forth-
with. It is said that a distinguished officer who
some time back filled an important situation imme-
diately under his Royal Highness the Commander
in Chief, would have obtained this appointment,
had his health permitted its acceptance. Sir Lowry
Cole will, probably, find a suffident compensation
for the insalubrity of an eastern climate in the hand-
some emoluments of an eastern governorship.

pool, and bought 20 barrels of rosin at 7s. Bd. per barrel. They
took the bill isi payment and gave me the balance in cash.
John Hayes, a blockstnitb, was at Mrs. Minshell's ou the 3d
of April. He confirmed Dutton's testimony, Dutton said to
Pendlebury, " I wish you would go with us and pay this bill ;
it will look more resperrable." Pendlebury said, •' No," I'll
have nothing to do with the bill ; I am a better judge than that."
James Hogarth, foreman to Mr. Leatherliarrow, proved re-
fusing the till.
A• clerk to Messrs. Davies proved receiving the bill from
Dutton. Tt was never paid.
