OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 16.

William Everett, aged 20, was indicted for re-
ceiving a Bank of England note for 501. knowing it
to be stolen, the property of Thomas Jamieson.
Mr. C. Phillips stated the case' for the prosecu-
tion. The prosecutor, he said, was a merchant in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. On the sth of July last he
was at Manchester; and getting into a crowd, felt as
if an attempt had been made to steal his watch. He
found, however, that his watch was safe, but that
his pocket had been picked of 8001. in bills and
Bank notes, among which was the Batik note
stated in the indictment.

Mr. Henry Lavender, a tailor, residing at No. 78,
Fleet-street, stated that on the 7th of July the pri-
soner called at his shop, and said he wished to pur-
chase a suit of clothes. He purchased the clothes
for (31., and ordered them to be sent to Mr. Lewis's
in Wych-street, and offered a 501. Bank note of a
branch Bank of England in payment. Witness said
lie had not sufficient cash in the house to give change,
and he would send his brother to the Bank of Eng-
land for cash. The prisoner remained but went out
of the shop twice, and on his return the second
time, about an tour after he first came, he
was taken into custody. The prisoner being
then asked where be got the note, said he had taken
it at Pershore fair. He gave his name William
Everett, which witness had endorsed on the note.
Other evidence was adduced; after which
'l he RECORDER charged the Jury, who without
hesitation found the prisoner Guilty.
The RECORDER immediately sentenced him to be
transported for fourteen years.

feelings ; it affords me sufficient confidence to
acknowledge in the terms I should wish, their aus-
picious patronage, as combining the good wishes of
those elegant and accomplished ladies. You stand
firm as the rock of liberty, and not as the shifting
‘veatherceelt on the top of the edifice.—(lmmense
applause.)--IsHouses may be bought and sold; but I
w►ll tell you what cannot be bought and sold :
namely, the undaunted spirit in a British bosom ;
and why can it not be bought or sold, because it is
above all price; this, I affirm, is sound logic, and
good morals. The gallant spirit of an Englishman
is unchangeable. I shall ever be most anxious that
the indepetidence and freedom of your Borough be
preserved inviolate. God forbid it should ever be-
come what it is now threatened to become, a Close
Borough.--(Loud and continued cheers.)—On the
banner on my left I behold" Peachy and Fair Play,"
so say I, give me fair play and a clear stage,and I will
do my dutiyi' I have witnessed your exertions, I have
beep unprAtetf*lth your unflinching and manly con-
duct in ttinWortlifficulty. I see on my right "Peachy
and Consistency," so say I, and I esteem it, Gen-
tlemen, as a testimony of your regard for me. .On
another banner is, " Peachy and True Blue," better
and better. Can those who shift their colours from
day to day call themselves Blues ? I trust, Gentle.
men, that we shall make those changelings look
more blue than they wish.—(Laughter and applause.)
The true Buffs have not changed their colours :
True Blue never can; for rather than strike or
change, he will nail his proud emblem to the mast
head, and sink with it flying.—(Cheers.)—Did
Nelson ever change or shift his colours ? No !he
died consecrating those colours with his expiring
breath, for pointing to them, he exhorted EVERY
MAN TO DO HIS DUTY.—(Cheers.)—Gentlemen, I
am proud in knowing that those colours are neither
piebald, black, nor green, but stedfastly the same
pure unstained blue as when you first displayed
them, and as they afterwards waved triumphant upon
your walls. I like to see something intellig►ble
brought into, and taken out of, the field untarnished.
I give you my word, that if my Hon. Counsel, before
whom the numerous depositions will be submitted (and
we have no want of legal talent,) sanction the petition,
then will I join you in pursuing it to the utmost extent.
I shall wait for no other incentive, at once most
strenuously to unite with you heart and hand, and I
trust eventually to show the world that a very con-
siderable number of votes have been surreptitiously
obtained by the nondescript party. Truth will
prevail and right must be right in the end; and
now feel, Gentlemen, in a snore honourable situa-
tion in a defeat, than by obtaining a victory at such
a price and on such terms.—(Loud cheers.)—We
are not cast down by defeat, we do not appear like a
beaten party. When this magnificent present meets
my eye, and I will take care that it shall often do
so, it will be asseciated with the recollection of the
manly, the generous, the unconquerable spirit that
animates my friends. It shall grace the most
honourable company I can assemble, and connect-
ing its display with this happy day, a fresh bottle
shall flow to drink prosperity and happiness to ray
valued friends at Tauntott."—( Great applause.)
An appropriate song was then sung with great effect by
an amateur, which was loudly encored.
" The Queen and Royal Family," (by the President).
Air, " Adelaide's Waltz."

Toast, " The Army and Navy," (by the President).
Thanks were 'returned by Lieutenant-General SLADE
and Lieut. PYNC, R.N., who concluded an energetic
speech by the following toast, " The Blue Plnmpera, and
may their indignant repulse of every tempting artifice to
violate their promise, prove a lesson to the Blacks, and an
example to the Blues."—Air, " Rule Britannia."
The PRESIDENT next proposed, with a neat preface,
" The Health of General Peachy, the unflinching and
spirited supporter of our endeavours to preserve the real
Freedom and Independence of this Borough. "—(Three
times three.)
General PEACHY rose and spoke as follows :—" Mr.
President, Gentlemen, and Friends, I should ke wanting
in the feelings of a man, were I not most highly to appre-
ciate your kindness ; believe me Ido prize it most sensibly,
and will endeavour, however imperfectly, to convey to
you my estimation of your good opinion ; I can honestly
affirm that it has been my earnest wish to merit your ap-
probation by a faithful and assiduous discharge of the
duties, which by your partiality devolved upon me. Had
not before possessed a real independence of spirit, your
bright example would have inspired me with that pre-
eminent feeling in which I yield to no man.—(Applause.)
The most important subject that has occupied the atten-
tion of the Legislature for more than a century past, has
indisputably been the C allelic question ; that question
having been determined, is now the law of the land, as
good subjects we must obey, and 1 am far from wishing to
re-agitate it. It was with considerable regret that I dif-
fered from many valued friends in the House of Commons.
From Sir Robert Peel 1 received every attentions that
his elevated station, politeness, and kind manners are to
competent to bestow; but, Gentlemen, my duty to you,
and which I considered combined with my duty to my
country, interposed ; and I did not hesitate a moment to
adopt the latter course, at the risk of forfeiting the grati-
fying attentions of that able and distinguished Statesman.
Early and lute has been my constant attendance on the bu-
siness of the House, and if such a course had satisfied my
constituents, 1 should have been proud and lmppy. Much
miserable invective has beers resorted to, to induce a belief
that the interference of a few of my estimable friends, the
Country Gentlemen, has endangered the freedom of elec-
tion. There, Gentlemen, you behold the most gross inter-
ference of borough-mougering, and every other expedient
is unblushingly adopted as so many virtues ; whilst here
the attentions of some private friends to me, are secorded
by the all-immaculate, all•independent Greens as vices;
the interference by the sale of an immense mass of property,
is deemed by them perfectly right, quite constitutional,
and not productive of the slightest inconvenience to the
freedom mei independence of the borough.—.(lmmense ap-
planse.)-oentlemen, I again most cordially thaiik you,
with the aeeurance that the welfare and prosperity of the
town of Taunton, will always remain nearest my heart.
Petmit me to propose as a bumper toast, " the truly In-
dependent Electors of Taunton."—Air, " Britons strike
home."

Mr. Ilicuann 'Arum returned thanks, saying ho had
voted as a True Blue for 40 years ;he was burp and
he hoped to die Blue.
Mr. Est.r.s 'Mimi, in a short and appropriate address,
gave " The Ladies of Taunton, and many thanks to them
for their very active and powerful exertions in the cause of
constancy and justice."—Song, " My own Blue Bell," i;1
delightful style by Master F. Kingsbury,
Mr. CHARTEI4 then rose and said—" Mr. Presidentl---
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity of
proposing the health of some gentlemen, to whom I con-
sider the friends of Gen. Peachy are particularly indebted,
for their indefatigableexertions, and for theskill and ability
which were so eminently conspicuous in the managetnel;
of the late contest ; I think I need not sal, sir, that I allude
to the Professional Agents of the gallant General,
and every person who had an opportunity of witness-
ing the progress of that contest, I am quite sure
will hear me testimony that the ill success of it did
not proceed from any neglect of their's. I will tell yfin,
Sir, from whence it proceeded—it procee4d from she came-
leans—lmmense cheering)— Croui the treacherous and din-
graceful conduct of some perfidious friends, one of whom
is not living a hundred miles from the Parade, whose po-
litical principles, I consider, are composed of a heteroge-
neous mass of Blue, Green, Buff, and Meek. B fit, !die,
let me ask, are either party satisfied or pleased with the
manner in which hl; has shifted his colours ? I say no, Sir,
end in the end he will be despised by all. lam confident
that every exertion has been used; but treachery, in conjunc-
tion with desertion, has always confounded the ablest General,
as well as the strongest army, I tun diverging frirm my
intended toast, and our anxious to retnrn to it, and there-
fore beg to propose " The Professional Agents of General

Mr. Jesse next rose and spoke as fatllowst;..--"

agents of General Peachy, I feel particularly obliged to
