GENERAL CONVENTION.

THE following ADDRESS is recommended
by the COUNCIL for ADOPTION at the GENERAL
PUBLIC MEETINGS to be held in the ensuing week, when
it is also to be recommended that the Address shall be signed
as numerously as possible, and FORWARDED WITHOUT
LOSS OF TIME TO THE COUNCIL, AT THE
ARUNDEL COFFEE HOUSE, STRAND :
We, Your Majesty's loyal subjects, had reason to hope that
the mild spirit of the age had rendered obsolete all those san-
guinary laws which, in other reigns, had subjected offenders to
ignominious death for comparatively trivial offences. We re-
gret, however, to learn that three of Your Majesty's sub-
jects have been recently convicted under an old Act of
Parliament, which appears to have escaped the eye of the Legis-
lature in, its revision and repeal of barbarous enactments ; we
canivil. avoid believing that had those crimes been found upon
calendar of a general assize, and not treated as political
offences, that they would hare been more mildly construed
and the punishment, even after conviction, would not have
amounted to a sacrifice of life. Under these circuits-
stan-es we humbly and respectfully appeal to your Ma-
ie,ty, that you will be graciously pleased to exercise your
Royal prerogative. by extending the royal pardon to Francis
Roberts, Joseph Howell, and John Jones, lately convicted and
sentenced to death. at the assizes of Warwick. We beg most
respectfully to direct :tour Majesties attention, to the unfavour-
able circumstances, under which the prisoners were tried, being
committed for a mere riot, and afterwards being capitally
indicted.

JAMES BRONTERRE O'BRIEN, Chairman.

Proposed by FEI RG US O'CONNOR, seconded by W. CARrEN•

TER, and carried unanimously.

S U N-OFFICE, 112, Strand, London.

We call attention to the draft of a petition
to her MAJESTY in another part of the paper, in
favour of mercy to the three men left for exe-
cution at Warwick. The petition is re-
spectfully worded—earnest in a cause for which
the Whig Government has acquired immortal
honour—and contains three important statements
which cannot fail to have due weight in the
quarter to which it is addressed. No doubt the
convicts were guilty of a great crime, but the law
and the spirit of the age are now satisfied with
secondary punishments for crimes as great as theirs
—only one life was lost, and that not in conse-
quence c,f the offence, for which the punishment is
still capital. The meeting at Manchester in
1819 was the primary cause of great loss of life;
HENRY HUNT was indicted as the active agent in
getting up the meeting, and was sentenced only to
imprisonment for two years and-a-half. The great
body of the people, too, participate not in the mad
and reckless spirit which instigated this destruction
of property at Birmingham. Nay, they generally
denounce the wickedness of such lawless proceed-
ings, if we except the language used by a few cow-
ardly leaders, °c'

THE WoRLE MuRDER.—The wretched per-
petrator of this horrid crime has been conveyed to Shepton
Mallet gaol. On the way he several times gave vent to
his guilty sorrow, at the same time giving the officers to
understand that nothing this side of the grave would in.
duce him to say why he committed the dreadful deed,
which he never for a moment before contemplated. On
his arrival at the gaol he underwent the usual prison
discipline of having his hair cropped, and his clothes
exchanged. His outward garment, provincially called
a kettle smock," was returned to the constable to be
produced at the trial, it being much spotted with
blood. It now appears that the prisoner was a good deal
excited by the effects of liquor at the time he committed
the murder, .he having, with other workmen, obtained
from a neighbouring beer shop some cider, which they
drank in the hayfield, in addition to their master's allow-
ance. Since his committal the ring of the umbrella which
the unfortunate deceased took with her has been picked up
a few yards before coming to the spot where the murder
was perpetrated, and which, in the opinion of many who
have viewed the place, indicate that words and blows
passed batween the prisoner and deceased, on the former
overtaking the latter on her way to Worle, which ended
in the fatal catastrophe. The funeral of the deceased
took place Sunday week, at Wyke St. Lawrence.—So-
mersetshire County Gazette.
FELONY BY A CASHlER.—lnformation was
received on Wednesday that on Monday morning last John
Gardner Bridgers, cashier to the Birmingham Canal Na-

of property, and is supposed to have made for one of the
outports. The proprietors have offered 100/. for his
apprehension. He is described as about 35 years of age,
five feet seven inches high, light complexion, rather red
nose, and prominent grey or bluish eyis usuals
dressed in a green frock coat and darkish pantaloons, is
rather gentlemanlike in appearance, and much addicted to

THAMES- OFFICE.

William Jones, the carpenter of the ship Thomas
Grenville, was charged with being in possession of
.5001bs. of smuggled cigars, on board that vessel in the
River Thames. On the officers of customs going on
board the ship at Blackwall, they found two tons and
a half of smuggled cigars and cheroots, brought from
India by the defendant and the Captain ; the ship was
consequently seized, and Jones was summoned for the
fine of lOW. The defendant denied that the cigars
were his, and was about to call evidence to prove that
tact ; but the Magistrates said, that if he could so prove,
his case could not be aided, as all the crew on board a
vessel having smuggled goods were liable to the same
penalty ; they, therefore, fined him 100/., or to be
im-
prisoned until it be paid.

been greatly benefited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when
fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more per-
ceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the
faintest whis:-er at a public assembly is heard with distinctness.
And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use c f newly-
invented SPE( TACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed
before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light,
every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle
is seen with great distinctness, by the use of which both the tight
and hearing become much improved.
'1 he Messrs. SO LOMONS disclaim all connexion with persons of
the same name, and the sale of Amber Spectacles. In doing so they
state the HISTORY OF AMBER, from the DICTIONARY
OF A ItIS AND SCIENCES" OF ANDREW URE, M.D.,
indurated vegetable juice, and not
produced by the laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which
influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found
imbedded in it. Amber is most powerfluly electrical by friction—
very hot, to such an extent as to explode into fragments; the work.
men, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ;
they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited elec-
tries ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame.
The above Dr. lire's statements are further confirmed by Sir D.
Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parkes and Hems, chemists. The de-
structive effects of such a material for spectacles to imperfect vision
are fully and most satisfactorily explained in Messrs. Curtis and Dol.
loud's Second Edition on the Preservation of Sight, and may be as.
certained at any respectable optician's in London. The Messrs. Solo-
mons' newly-invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a
material ibut which are very superior, and bring back at once dul-
ness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state.
these Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons,
are only to be had at their establishment, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, opposite the York Hotel.

" It rarely falls to the lot of a Reviewer to read a book so full of
information, and so deeply interesting, as the volume before us.
Vast labour must have been bestowed upon it. by 11r. Porter,
who has collected from variors sources the statistics of popula-

picture of the progress of our nation as must make every
Briton's heart swel_ with pride, and every philanthropist's
bosom beat with pleasure."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 22.—1 n Harbour—The Britannia,
120, flag-ship • Victory, 104, ordinary guard-ship; Excel-
lent gunnery-slip: Royal George yacht ; Pantaloon, 10 ;
Messenger steam-transport; and tenders Fanny and Gos-

samer.
In Basin—The Etna bomb, for the coast of Scotland.
In Dock—Not anything in commission.
At Spitheal—No vessel of war.
ARRIVALS, SAILINGS, &c., DURING THE
WEEK.

On Tuesday, the 19.—Sailed the Seaflower cutter for
Jersey, for the protection of the oyster fisheries ; and on
Wednesday, the 20th—The Gossamer tender returned
from Sheerness.

The above is the sum total of our proceedings at this
port during the past week. Little enough, you will say,
for the first naval port in England ; but we live in expec-
tation to see the truth of the old saying verified, " it never
rains, but it pours." In one of my communications some
time since, I ventured to give my opinion as to the pro-
priety of allowing the old working petty officers who may
have been pensioned, to retain their pensions should they be
disposed to serve again in the Navy, and I am very
glad to see that the subject has been taken up by such
able hands. I shall now venture humbly and respect-
fully to suggest another step, which, if adopted, would
render the service more acceptable to newly raised men.
That is to allow Volunteers (of course, I mean able sea-
men, ordinary and landsmen), to allot a portion of their.pay
for the support of their families or relatives. As the case
now stands, these persons may be in the flag-ship of either
of the ports for two or three months, without this privi-
lege ; and even when drafted (it may be to a ship on a
foreign station) are not entitled to make this declaration
of allotment until they actually join the ship of which they
are to make part complement. All this tune, of course,
the families are starving, if not many of the relatives, and
the greatest distress is the consequence. This certainly
might be altered, at least when any emergency, just such
as the present arises; and depend on it, would operate as
an additional inducement for men to enter her Majesty's
service.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-It gives me very great pleasure to read in your
excellent Paper the very severe, but just reprimand
Lord Hill has given to Coloael Thomas, and the other
military officers, who so basely insulted their amiable
Sovereign at the late dinners. It will have a beneficial
effect, in checking such licentious language. I could
.not help being particularly struck with the unmanly and
equivocating reply of Colonel Thomas and Captain
Ainslie, when asked if such language, as reported, were
used. They both positively deny having heard these
expressions. What, let us then ask, called forth
from them such rapturous applause ? It is a " con-
summation devoutly to be wished," that, since our
Military Chief has administered so wholesome a chas-
tisement to the officers of our army, that our Clerical
Chief would perform the same duty towards clergymen
so offending. It ought to be dono.
I am, Sir,

NEWARK ELECTION.

.
(From the Lincoln Mercury.)
Mr. Sergeant Wilde having been appointed Solici-
tor-General, has lost no time in paying his respects to
his constituents at Newark, to solicit a renewal of their
suffrages. The Learned Gentleman, accompanied by
M. D. Hill, Esq., Queen's Counsel, arrived at the
Castle and Falcon on Saturday last, and his reception
was most gratifying. On his acceptance of office being
made public, the Tory party promptly set out in search
of a candidate, and T. S. Godfrey, Esq., was first ap-
plied to, but he prudently declined ; a messenger was
then dispatched to E. V. P. Burnell, Esq., of Wink-
borne, who also refused ; and at two o'clock on Sun-
day morning a deputation started for London to
Ipply to the Carlton Club, who have sent down Mr.
Thesiger, a barrister, as their protege. He has not
the slightest chance of success : this breach by the
1 Tory party of an arrangement entered into at
the last election—that the representation of Newark,
is then determined, should not be disturbed—
having disgusted the respectable part of the Conserva-
tives. It is well understood that even the Duke of
Newcastle, whose love of " doing what he likes with his
own," has become a proverb, refuses to identify himself'
with the factious efforts of a few rash and bigotted parti-
sans, and that his Grace distinctly repudiates all oppo-
tion to the re-election of her Majesty's Solicitor-Gene-
ral. This conviction being established in the minds of
the electors of Newark, the threats of the Tory faction
have had no other effect than to elicit the heartfelt at-
tachment of the great bulk of the red party for Mr.
Solicitor-General Wilde ; offers upon offers having been
made to him by those who on former occasions had been
sacrificed to Tory dictation. Mr. Thesiger arrived in
Newark on Monday, and his first appearance was any-
thing but cheering ; all that he said fell listlessly on the
ear, and ice-cold upon the heart. He was evidently dis-
mayed, and the reception he has met with during his
canvass, has been such as to convert that dismay into
hopeless despair.
Amongst ;.he tricks resorted to, was an attempt to
excite W. F. Handley, Esq., to divide the Liberal
party. The conduct of that gentleman, however, has
been beyond all praise ; honourably abiding the deci-
sion of the friends by whom on former occasions he had
been supported
forwardted;n heart andosoonerwa handsthe in supportirdecisionkno wn
than he came of
Mr. Soilcitor-General Wilde. His appearance struck
terror into the Tory faction, who then had recourse to
the pitiful attempt of falsely asserting that Mr. Hand-
ley was canvassing for Mr. Thesiger. This falsehood
was promptly and spiritedly met by the following
handbill :
