as to the legality of employing the Yeomar.:y
at all on the service of the Revenue. The evi-
dence adduced on the Coroner's Inquest, it is to be
hoped, willfurnish ajustification of Capt. IluNnEn-
FOR.D'S conduct, though even then the shocking
transaction of which he is said to have been the
author must be lamented as rash in its determi-
nation, fatal in its result, and dangerous in its in-
fluence and example. The two prisoners having
been so securely hound together, that both of
them fell, when BUCKLEY received the shot, it
is not probable that they were efficiently aiding
the rioters in an attempt at a rescue ; and we
Confess that we do not see on what other gr,ounds
than those of the violent resistance of the prison-
ers themselves, or of an endeavour on their part
to escape; the Yeomanry could be justified in
Putting one of them to death. It is absolutely
indispensable that this melancholy affair should
be rigorously investigated.

The daughter of JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, men-

I'ARL LISTOWELL (late Viscount EsNismoar.)
has remitted from London his usual annual dis-
Icihution to several of the Charities of Cork, and.
„.a'aungst the rest to that valuable Charity for

tion to an Earldom has given great satisfaction in
the City of Cork.

°IIBERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.—At the late
ii
T erefordshire Sessions, the Chairman, the ReV.
in his Charge to the Grand Jury, made
the following observations :---" You have heard
tfa(l) Gentlemen, the King's Proclamation for
e punishment of vice and immorality, and
f
linr the better observance of the Lord's-day.
llocY me then to suggest to you one means
nt promoting the latter object, viz. by paying
Your workmen and labourers their weekly earn-
ings at some other period than on the Sa-
-s°d :a v evening. For if it be done at •that time,
it is too probable that the morning of the Sab-
4th will be employed in procuring the necessaries,
ior the little comforts they can obtain for the fol-
:?wing week. And this will be the real cause, or
the pretended excuse, for the neglect of those
duties which, as good subjects, and as good Chris-
tians, they ought to perform. If I may venture
tO Speak upon this subject from the expe-
tu'llce of some years, the Friday evening or some
°tiler time will be found equally convenient to
the employer, and give to the workmen the don-
"le advantage of expending at the best market
the slender earnings of the week, and of devot-
ing the Sunday to its only proper and lawful
objec

During the year 1821, the number of prisoners
Z'unnitted to the custody of Mr. BEEBY, of the
'"‘v Prison, Clerkenwell, by the various Magis-
trates in the Metropolis, amounted to 4,622,
1,268 of whom were committed from Mavlbo-
rough-street Police-office.
The following paragraph appeared in a Pro-
; u`ll,6al Paper Travellers should be careful
eliver their baggage to proper persons, as a
gentleman, a few days since, on alighting from a
ytrge coach, entrusted his wife to the charge of a
an„..er
and has not heard of her since.—(Anze-
ricatz Paper.)
1"or some time past, a variety of depredations
• phave been committed in the neighbourhood of
ulham, Kensington, &c. among them was the
esidence of the Right Hon. GEORGE CANNING,
at Gloucester Lodge, which was stripped of a
I,4rge quantity of lead ; the Patroles in those
lately have bren much on the alert
in consequence. On, Wednesday evening
oenry kVinnet and others, when on duty there,
served three men lurking in the 'neighbourhood
°f
t Earl's-court; after watching them for some
time, they determined on apprehending them,
t" succeeded in securing two, and brought them
° now-street Office yesterday morning, when
they
t underwent an examination before Sir R.
r;ltrclE, when they gave their names as William
aNton and John Price. Henry Wintiett stated.
that on his searching the prisoner Clayton, lie
.13und upon him an iron crow bar.—The pri-
soners were convicted as rogues and vagabonds,
sue iron crow being one of the implements de-
scribed in the Act of Parliament used in house-
ureaking.
Thursday se'nnight, a man in the fourth floor
of Glasgow Bridewell, having previously cut the
'pHs of the window, attempted to let himself
down by means of his blankets knotted together ;
DUt they proving too short, or the knots giving
'way, he fell nearly three stories, when he was
!ecured by the guard. The man has been care-
Tully examined by the surgeon of the Institution,
and not a broken bete was found in his body, nor
AP, perceptible detriment of any kind. •
