CITY. WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Letters have been received from New York, dated on the
16th ult. communicating information from Callao, dated in
August, and from Guiaquil, to the Bth of September, re-
ceived by the way of Panama. The advices from Callao state,
that four thousand men who had been dispatched. by General
BotavAti. from Guiaquil, at the request of General SAN MAR-
TIN, had arrived at Callao as a reinforcement to the expedition
about to sail from that place against the Royalist Spaniards in
Upper Peru. It is probable, therefore, that the next accounts
will announce the entire liberation of that fine and valuable
empire, and that in a short period of peace and exertion, it will
be able to transmit such returns for its consumption of British
products, as must render an intimate intercourse with it ex-
tremely valuable to the best interests of the British nation.
Advices have been received from Odessa, dated on the 20th
of November. The Russian fleet was fully equipped at Nico-
leaf, on the war establishment, under Admiral Greg, and a
contract had been made for victualling it.
On the Corn Exchange, the arrivals of grain since last Mon-
day are not numerous, the additional supply consisting of 3,500
quarters of Wheat, 3,200 luarters of Barley, 2,200 quarters of
Oats, and 2,400 sacks of flour. The best samples of new
Wheat are purchased at Monday's prices, with the view pro-
bably of supporting the value of Flour ; but otherwise the trade
is extremely heavy.- For Barley there is very little demand,—
the Maltsters giving nearly Monday's prices for the best
samples ; but the Distillers expecting lower prices, purchase
very sparingly, and consequently inferior descriptions are
cheaper, anti nearly unsaleable. Oats are not much in de-
mand, for the arrivals of this article have latterly been large.
An Express arrived this day from Paris, dated on Monday
evening. The Rentes that day were a shade lower ; on Satur-
day they closed at 90; on Monday they were down one time
at 89. 50. ; and the last price was 89. 75. The rumours in the
French capital were pacific. •
The busines done this day in the British Funds was not con-
siderable. Consols for the .January account opened at 814, and
closed at 80i 4. The public do little in them, being like Baron
GRAHAM better employed in the anticipation of Christmas fes-
tivities. The uncertainty also which hangs over European poli-
tics renders great caution extremely necessary.
In the Foreign Market the principal business has, as usual,
been done in Spanish Bonds, bht their prices continued to droop
during the day. Those of 1821 opened at 59, and were done at
57g. In Mr. ItoTriscHiLD's Neapolitan Loan, a good many
trensactions took place, and the value of the Scrip is rather im-
proved.—( Morning Chronicle.)

KENT WINTER CIRCUIT.

MAIDSTONE, DEC. 17.
Before the lion. Mr. Baron GRAnAM.
CUTTING AND MAIMING.

Robert Hartley was indicted under the 43d Geo. 111. c. 58,
s. 1. commonly called Lord Ellenborough's Act, for assaulting
Samuel Owen, at the vine of Sheerness, on the 29th August,
with a certain sharp instrument, and feloniously and malicious-
ly stabbing, with intent to kill and murder him. Second count
alleging the intent to disable ; and third, to do the prosecutor
some grievous bodily harm. The case has been already de-
tailed two or three times.

According to the testimony of the ship's surgeon, the wound
was in a most vital part, and during the first stages of the cure
the captain's life was in great jeopardy.
The prisoner asked no questions of the witnesses for the pro-
secution ; and being called upon for his defmce, said that he
committed the dreadful act imputed to him in a fit. of insanity,
without any malice towards the prosecutor. Goaded by the
consciousness of former crimes, and wound up to a state of
frenzy from the apprehension of being transported'for lite, he
became delirious, and in a moment of furious passion he did
an act which, under other circumstances, he would have
shuddered at with hOrror. He had been dismissed the naval
service in consequen6 of insanity; but, deserted and aban-
doned hy.all who knew him, he was unable to prove the fact.
He trusted, howevCr,• 'dint the Jury would take his case into
consideration. - " ,

Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the case; and. -
The Jury immediately found the prisoner.—Guilty—Dcath.
When called upon to say why sentence of death should not
pass against him, the prisoner said he wished for no mercy.
Harrassed as he was in mind, by a series of crimes, he had no
prospect of peace in this world. To save his life would to him
be no mercy. Supposing his sentence should be commuted to
transportation for hfe, he should look upon it Its a prolongation
of his misery. Life had no charms for him. Rather than be
transported for life, he would prefer instant removal to the place
of death. Deprecating the preservation of his miserable life,
he earnestly prayed that the Learned Judge would leave him
for execution.

The wretched prisoner spoke in a strain of language far above
what might be expected in a man of his humble condition.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM proceeded to pass the awful sentence of
the law, and conjured the prisoner to make the best use,of the
short time allotted him on this side of the grave, to prepare for
an eternal scene; and told him he must expect to undergo the
merited punishment which awaited his crimes.
Before Mr—ltistice BAYLEY,
Stephen Lawrence was indicted under the 52d George 111.
chap. 143, for assembling with other persons, to the number
of three and more, at the parish of St. John, in the Isle of
Thanet, on the Ist of September, 1821, armed for the purpose
of aiding and assisting in the illegal running and:landing of
certain uncustorned goods. The indictment Contained several
other counts, charging the prisoner with feloniously shooting
at one Washington Carr and others, being officers of the
customs; with aiding- others in ,the last-mentioned felony,
&c. This indietrnent was found by the Grand Jury at the
last Lent AssiieS for this County, whenno less than twenty-one
persons implicathd in this- transaction were tried, 19 of whom
were convicted, apd four executed. The prisoner had not been
apprehended at' 'that time, but had been since, and was now
brought to trial. fcfhe trial commenced at nine o'clock,•and did
not end until half-past 7 this evening. At the time of the for-
mer trial the particulars of the case were fully detailed, and it
is now unnecessary to enter into them minutely.—The prisoner
was acquitted.
