AIR. OWEN.

APUBLIC MEETING will be held on
EASTER MONDAY, 12th April, at Twelve
o'clock, in the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,
to consider the means of a permanent remedy for the dis-
tress of the working classes, and for the moral evils under
which all parties suffer ; and also for the disunion which
has ever prevailed among all religious sects, with a view
to establish a perpetually increasing prosperity, and to
destroy for ever even the germ of future religious animosity.

SPRING ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

KINGSTON, MARCH 29.

Chief Justice TINDAL came into town this afternoon, at
half-past two o'clock. The cortege of the High Sheriff
was very splendid. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Clarence joined the procession at the scat of C. N. Pallmer,
Esq. M. R for the county of Surrey.
There are 69 cases in the calendar, none of which pos-
sess any considerable degree of interest, with the excep-
tion of the charge of alleged murder against Messrs.
Lambrecht, Byrne, Cox, and Bigley, who stand committed
on the Coroner's warrant for the wilful murder of Mr.
Oliver Clayton, in a duel at Battersea, in this county.
The trial, it is expected, will come on either on Thurs-
day or Friday.

THETFORD, 111ARCII 27.

John Woods was indicted for having, with others to
the number of 30, been found in a wood belonging to Lady
Suffield, armed for the destruction of game. It appeared
that about two o'clock on the morning of the 14th of De-
cember, the gamekeepers of Lady Suffield were on the
watch, when their attention was attracted towards a large
plantation, called Hunworth-wood, by the sound of many
guns. They immediately proceeded thither, and found a
very numerous body of poachers, both within and with-
out the wood ; and on their approach one of the poachers
called out, " - their eyes! here they come, shoot
'em !" Upoa hearing these warlike sounds, the keepers
retreated in good order, under cover of the wood ; but
they were not to part with their enemy so easily, for one
of them received part of a charge of shot in his back
from the gun of one of the poachers, which was sworn to
to be levelled " point blank" at him ! A second shot was
fired at one of the keepers, but it missed its intended ob-
ject, and struck the turnips in the field close by his side.
Altogether there were from 30 to 35 poachers in the wood,
armed with guns and bludgeons, and animated with one
common purpose, the destruction of the game and resistance
to whoever might oppose them ; of these, the prisoner
was one.

He was found guilty.
Mr. Baron Vain:max adjudged him to be transported
for 14 years.
Henry Capes, James Sculfer, and William Darkins,
were indicted for a similar offence in a wood belonging to
Mr. Coke, M.P., in the parish of Lexham.
They were found guilty.—Six months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

BURY, MARCH 28.

Mr. Baron V.au 11A N opened the commission for Suffolk
yesterday afternoon, having disposed of the above cases at
Thetford in the forenoon. The calendar does net present
any cases of obvious interest. Two cases of horse and
two of sheep-stealing, with half a dozen of house-break-
ing, and some game prosecutions, seem to be the most
prominent offences. I was considerably astonished to
hear an announcement by the clerk, at church this
morning, that " on Thursday next the quarterly sermon
against Popery would be preached" there ; and not less so
to find on inquiry that the preacher is remunerated for
preaching it by a payment out of an estate belonging to a
Catholic (Sir Thomas Gage.) It seems that an ancestor
of the Gages, before the reformation, by his will, ap-
pointed a sermon to be preached quarterly in this town,
in defence of religion, which was at that time Catholic :
at the reformation, the sermon was turned against Ca-
tholicism, and so continues to this day, which accounts for
the above strange announcement.

MR. GODWIN'S NEW NOVEL.—The main
subject of this work is to be found in the fortunes of the
son of an English Earl deprived by his uncle of his birth-
right. The scenes that arise out of this ground-work are,
many of them, of a most splendid kind, embracing the
manners of numerous countries and of various ranks.
" CLOUDYSLET" will perhaps be considered superior to
all the works of the author, excepting only his " CALEn
WILLIAMS."

His MAJESTY was, as all who know his kindly
disposition will readily believe, much affected at the loss of
his old and faithful friend and servant Sir EDMUND NAGLE,
whose cheerfulness and good humour will be much missed
in the circle. An attack of erysipelas was the proximate
cause which carried off this worthy son of Erin in a green
old age. The property of which he died possessed is es-
timated at 36,000/.—Intelligence.
IVIr. STREATFIELD, who was so severely hurt
in the late steeple-chase, is, we hear, out of danger. One
of his fellow-sportsmen on that memorable day, of the
name of THORNHILL (we believe), after having met with
a fall or two then, has since been unfortunately killed
while hunting in Warwickshire; and Mr. CHARLES WIL-
LIAMS, the son of Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS, the banker,
has also fallen a victim to the sport ; he died in Dorset-
shire on Thursday week, in consequence of a fall received
two or three days before. —John Bull.
We regret to state that Earl LUDLOW was on
Monday last thrown from his horse, by which accident his
Lordship's collar-bone was seriously injured.—Bedford
Gazette.
The name of Mr. GEORGE SPENCE was
omitted in the list of the majority on Sir 11. HERON'S
motion on Friday night last.
Mr. PORTMAN paired off in favour of Mr.
POULETT THOMSON'S motion, and also in favour of Sir
ROBERT HERON'S motion.
Sir GEORGE HILL is appointed Governor of
St. Vincent's; Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD is to be his
successor in the office of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland.
A Commissionership of Bankrupts (tenth
list) and a Lunacy are vacant by the death of THOMAS
EVA NCE, Esq. Barrister-at-law and Bencher of the Middle
Temple.
SUICIDE OF SIR C. BARlNG.—lntelligence
was received in town last night that this gentleman had
suddenly terminated his existence at his estate, Foot's Cray,
Kent. The distressing event was discovered early on
Monday morning, and expresses were instantly sent off to
the members of his family residing in town. Nothing
which can be relied on has yet transpired as to the cause
of this rash act. The deceased was of advanced age, and
the father of the present Members of Parliament of the
same name.—Morning Paper.

KIRKALDY.—On Saturday last, a New-
foundland dog belonging to Mr &Arra, grocer here, was
attracted by an agitation in the water, at a short distance
from the beach, and plunging in, laid hold upon a Congor
eel, which wrapped itself round him, but the dog being
superior succeeded in bringing the eel a-shore, when being
measured it was five feet eight inches in length, one foot
eight inches in girth, and weighed 36 pounds imperial.
The eel, we believe, is still kept alive in a vessel of salt
water, and is the largest ever found in this quarter.—
Edinburgh _Evening Courant.
The leather trade of the west of Scotland
promise, whenever Government rescinds the duty, to let
the consumers feel the benefit, and although the ostensible
reduction is only IP., per lb., yet the annihilation of
Excise surveillance on the sth of July will render the re-
duction much more material. The trade is very stagnant
at present, no purchases being made except for immediate
consumption. Some of the Stirlingshire tanners have
actually discharged their workmen, and have got their
hides ready for dressing placed in "dubbing," and the
hides in the tan-pits have received a sprinkling of bark to
preserve them for some time. The Highland trade in
Lowland leather is anticipated to become almost extinct
by the operation of the present measure ; every shoe-
maker, by the aid of a barrel for steeping, being able to
produce his own leather. Tanyards will be greatly el-
tended ; Government having so wisely, as in the case of
the beer duty, completely extinguished all restrictiona..--
