CJIARGE 1() TIIE. GRAND JURY.

The Guild Jury sere this nlonliug sworn in, for the
purpose of inquiring into charges of misdemeanor, cud
other offences alleged to have been cuniumted in the
county of Middlesex.
Mr. JUSIiCe llairtex addressed .them as follows:
" Getitlemen, you are essembled to execute the impor-
tam duties which devolve oit you as Grand Jurors for
the county of Middlesex. Pert of that duty is, to in-
(lithe carefully and attentively into all offences alleged
to have been committed vv Rhin this county. Mere I
feel it right to state to you, that your jurisdiction does
nut extend bey/pod the county of Middlesex, except in'
sonic few cases, specitically provided for by particular
Acts of Parliament. ,In muse peculiar instances a
fewer as given to the Grand Jury 01 one county to in-
quire

other. The principle is, however, by aso.meatis gene-
ral.; indeed it is applicable in very hew instances...and

will be your duty to carmine the Acts tit' Parliament,
by whim' a power is given to Grand Juries, in certain,
detitied and specified Cases, to iliteriere in matters that
have taken ldace beyond tile buditds w which their or-
dinary jurisdiction is restricted. The Court, if such a
ease should arise, will give every facility, in order to en-
able you, Gentlemen, to Mir ill a proper decision. As'
the Grand Jury which was sword 11,1 last ;refill COW-
',Wiled to the Court that they were not permitted to
stilt the Permeintary House, it is proper
for me to inform you, that Inc renitentiary differs flout

.and that, you will not find any bill unless the evidence

Tile Jury then wuhdrew.—Mes•rs.lfunt, Moorhowse
and IC Hight attended to we Hail, for toe purpose of pre-
foring bills of indictment against &ILI-cot persons, for
the part they had (Aro in the recent proceedings at
Manchester.

In a few minutes the Grand Jury returned. into Court.
The foreman said, " I hold ki my hand an itulictment,
which relates to events that occurred at tilanehester,
and I aad my fellow jurors wish to -know whether we
can take cognizance of it ?"
The Clerk of the _Grand-Juries ink:trilled their Lord.
IMO, that it was au indictment for perjury, preferred
by James Moortiouse against James Platt and

however, one of those cases."

The 'Grand Jury then withdrew. A her indict-
went was immediately laid before them. It was pre-
ferred by William Leigh against William Carlton, for
cutting and maiming, on the 16th of August last. Af-
ter a short consideration, the Jury sent for the Acts
,elating to their extra powers—but lint being satisfied
with the information contained in them, they again
applied to Inc Court.
The Clerk stated, that another indictment had been
I before the Grand Jury, connected with the Man.
.chester events It contained i charge of coiti.ig and
maiming on the 16th ot August, at 'Manchester. It
was preferred under Lord Eileni.oroligli's Act, and was
entitled, like the former indictment, `• England to
wit." The Cr Ind Jury wished to know whether they
could and ought to proceed in the examination of wit-
nesses?

Mr. Justice BAYLEY, having examined the statuteri,
have particularly looked at the 43d of Geo.
c. 58, oil which this indictment is fonnded, and 1 do
not perceive that it gives the Grand Jury any power re
recog ire the offence, which is alleged to have beta
committed in a country out of their jurisdiction. The
Jury hate no authority to act here. They cannot pro.
teed with, nor find such a bill."

The Grand Jury then withdrew, and did not .again
appear iu Cuurt.

THE KING VANE/. CARLILE.

was in Court all the moriiinit, appearing to chew cause
against the rule Niti, obtained by \lr Gunn, tor
selling blasphemous libels in the form of sviidt is cailc

called on.

It was expected that the Cnmmnn Serjeant would
have moved for a criminal information against Alder-
man Waithman, Mr. ifunt, Mr. Ttiony . and
miters, for interrupting the prneeedinga at the late
election of I,Arrd Mayor, but no such motion was
made.

:On Wednesday morning about 4 o'clock a fire W3B
discovered to have broken out on the premises of Messrs.
Severn, King, and Co. sugar-brokers, Church-lane,
Wnitechapel. It broke out an the sugar-refinery, but
from what cause, although there were two watt:lmmo
on the premises, has not been ascertained. The prenii-
les were very extensive, and nearly new, having been
erected within 18 .months. Their front is in Church-
lane. atahe extremity of the Commercial-road,
which tke One-Mile stone stands. They also extend
down Uuioe-street and Holloway-street to a considera-
ble distance, and were, we believe, the largest, or the
largest but one establishment of the kind in or near
London. The fire, which commenced at four, raged
with dreadful fury until near six, during which time it
consumed full three-fourths of those extrusive premises.
The fire-engines had, however, by this Mos gut into
full play, and the exertions of the fire-men saved the
dwelling-house and a large pile of warehouses to the
left, valued at 30,0001. The amount of injury sustained
is, we are assured from competent authority, estimated
at 80,01/01. and the amount ensured at the different fire-
offices is about 65,0001. It has been stated that there
was a want of water, but front what we could collect
the fact was otherwise. There was a ten-horse steam-
engine on the premises, but it has been clearly ascertain.
ed that the mischief was not occasioned by it, as it re-
mains in a perfect time. We have not been able to
learn that any lives ;have bun lost by the falling of a
wall, as was stated in the evening papers; indeed we
are almost certain thaA the 03118111 CM is untrue, and the
assertion that several adjoidstug houses were destroyed,
is, we believe, incorrect. A few, in the narrow stied
that surrounded those extensive premises, had some of
their windows Woken, and the sashes a little scorched.
A Noble Family, moving in the very first circles of
polite life, is throvvo into a state of great disiresss, in

moon. The potties bare hitherto eluded all lima.

SIR RALPH Au:nearness e.—A corre ndent at
Maki observes, it is a disgrace to see t e state of
s 7
the tablet over the tomb of the immortal , bercrom-
bie. 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 door 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 are covered with mud, and it
threatens to full 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, erected 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 Bast, aborts 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),

At a Court of Aldermen held on Saturday, it was
resolved that a prosecution should be instituted
against Mr. Alderman Waithman, Mr Sheriff Par-
lous, 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 pa:ceiling of an extraordinary nature is
about to take place at Brussels, in the shape of an
action by Louis Buonuparte, against the reigning
Sovereign of Belgium, lor the value of a country
scat near Haarlem, with its domains and appenda-
ges, which the ex-King had purchased from. Ms.
Hope. One of the chief questions in the cause will
be, whether Louis bought the estate with public
money, or out of his own peck ,et Mercy on us !
ho. should a cadet iii the I LAise of Ajaocio come
honesty by suca a sum as 300000 florins? Another
question, it is presuired, will be, whether, just pre-
vious to the present King's accession, the said pro-
perty wits in Louis Bonaparte. or to the French
Goverinnent, viz. that of Mb own brother Napoleon,
who had expelled him trout Holland tong enough

DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN PLYMOUTH Doc':
Tenn.—Tuere is no uuty more unpleasant to a
public journalist, the ► that of recording the. cunti
nually occurring instances of 11:1liRID calamity, par-
ticularly when they nikeilve not simply a tatal
catastrophe to one tinily alma, but toe untimely
decease.: tit more than one with disastrous accidents
to many ()Oen,. A temi,orary dam had bee., con-
structed at the stern of South dock, for the pur-
pose of pro:ecting the workmen, who were pre-
paring ter putting in raw gates; about half past
two on Weonesdu afternoon. it then being nearly
half-tide, the enormous pressure of water, estimated
at 500 tons, suthicaty broke through the dam, and,
coming in contact with the shores supporting a
bridge or brow across, ore which were telly or fifty
persons passing and repas4ing to their duty, it ut•
scantly inguilmed the w hole in the rushing flood,
which continued in a atatu of most violent termenta-
timi for several minutes.. Many. bouts being near
the basin, by dint of un timmon exertion the spec-
tators succeeded in rescuing and bringing ashore all
who were visible, some with broken limbs, and
others with severe emit usions, ante -g from the
furious precipitation of the water, and the timbers
with which the dam w:ts constructed. As some
were missing, Mr. Smith, surveyor of the works,
immediately removed the diving vessel from Ha-
unease into the basin, wl sere, notwithstanding the
tnrpid condition of the water, and the confusion of
of the scene, he promptly descended. After search-
at the bottom some little time, he brought up the
body of Joseph Crocker, a caulker, one of the mis-
sing, but too lute we regret to say, to save his lite.
Shortly afterwards it was ascertained that a seaman
belonging to the ordinary called Libby, was mis.
sing. Mr. Smith descen' d again in the bell, but
wiViout success ; on the tide receding, he was
found in a spot beyond th e reach of the diving bell.
Thus by a circumstance-, in which blame seems
imputable to no one. twt t lives have been lost, two
had their limbs tiacturt d, and live have received

TO TUB ADITOR.
Siot,—lh answer to a paragraph in yourpeper of the
.7th ult. alluding to a hand bill which you stated to have
•been circulated on the morning of the Norfolk County
meeting, I have to reply that I know nothing of suers
hand-ball, that I did not even see it, or hear of it, nor
did I (as it is asserted) join in she clamour which you
.say that handbill produced.
As yotrisave thought proper to insert the paragraph
in question, which contains a foul aspersion on my cha-
!racier and conduct, I expect you will do me the justice
'of giving a place in your next paper to this letter,' in •
which I thus positively contradict that statement, as far
In it goes terconnect me either directly or indirectly with
the hand-bill. Yours, Sr:.

We hive inserted Mr. Uning's letter because we wish.
him to have fair play. Weare not in the habit diming
facts unadvisedly, nor of throwing out aspersion on the
'characters of individuals. Truth does sometimes compel
us to record circumstances which may be disagseeablo•
to the panics concerned., but of a wanton endeavour to
malign the character or misrepresent the conduct of aoy
one, we defy this person to produee an instarser,•
Utting says that " he knew nothing of the hand-bill.
nor did he see it or hear ofit,," Wks ever said he did?
pur words were that' " a hand-bill was generally circu-
lated bra' the morning-of the County Milt-sing, which
was designed and intended to raise a clamour against
,Nlr. Coke." How it came into Mr. lining's head td
plead not guilty in so-very vehement and angry a tone
to a charge which was never made against him, can
wily be known to himself. Let him have the full ad.
vantage of his plea. Bait when he denies having joined
in the clamour against Mr. Coke, we must request.his
pardon if we prefer the evidence of our own eyes and
ears to his denial, however peremptorily giant.
