MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—akin DAT

TRIAL OF THE KING'S POSTILLION.

Thomas Jag, who, our Readers will remem-
ber, was tried at the Old Bailey, and acquitted, on an indict.
ment charging him with picking the pocket of a gentleman
unknown, on the 15th day of May last, when attending his
Majesty to Drury Lane Theatre, was now placed at the bar,
and again tried for the misdemeanour in attempting to pick the
pocket of Mr. Henry Bullin, of Perwick-street, Soho, on
that evening. On the acquittal of the prisoner a bill was
found against Gook, Connell, and Harrison, the persons who took
him into custody and charged him, for a conspiracy, they
were this Sessions tried and acquitted of that charge, and they
then filed another Bill against Jay, which was found, and he
on this was tried anew.

Mr. Pullin was called and sworn. Being at Drury-lane Thea-
tre, he felt some person attempt to snatch his watch, but it
having a guard, the thief could not accomplish his wish.—
In his cross-examination by Mr. ALLEY, he told a very incon_
sistent story, and could not account for not coming forward
before, although he lived within two doors of Gook, who, with
his two witnesses, Connell and Harrison, were called and exa-
mined, but they prevaricated very much in-their testimony.
Mr. ALLEY made a very powerful address to the Jury, con-
tending that the witnesses were totally unworthy of credit. In
this the Jury unanimously acquiesced, and would not allow the
Chairman to suns up, but instantly acquitted the prisoner, who
was instantly discharged.

The 'Verdict was received by' a crowded Court with mu,

applause.

OLD BAILEY-o'ms DAY.)

Thomas Walter, aged, 40, was indicted for
stealing two 25/. Bank-notes, and other monies, the property of
Mr. Samuel Peowrie. It appeared from the evidence of the
prosecutor that he was in great trouble, and having disposed
of his business, he received a cheque on a banker's in part of
the purchase-money ; the prisoner got the change, atu: never
returned with it. The robbery took place about two years
since, and_ the prisoner was not taken into custody until very
lately, baying been met accidentally by the prosecutor's wife,
who caused his apprehension.'
The prisoner did not deny the charge. The Jury instantly
pronounced him Guilt?), and the Recorder sentenced him to be
transported for seven years.
John Brizlgman and Ann Evans were indicted for a robbery
in the house. of Captain Duncan M'Leod, No. 40, Gloucester_
place, Bryanstone-square, on the 23d hist. and stealing a gold_
watch, chain, five seals, a key, the property of Mrs. Spitta,
a lady residing in the house of Capt. ill‘Leod : The former was
indicted for stealing, and the latter for receiving the same, well
knowing them to have been stolen.—The facts of the case were
clearly made out against the prisoners, and the property identi-
fied by the husband of Mrs. Spitta.
The RECORDER summed up, when the Jury found both
the prisoners Guilty.
Evans was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment and hard
labour,—the judgment on Bridgman was deferred.

be protrarV for many months more ;,.ancl
within that period the Greeks could not make
the conquest of a state' of independence,
even de facto. But even should their cause lose
ground before their condition becomes matter of
arrangement in the Congress, there are two
motives, from which those Powers which may be
considered hostile to the pretension of Russia,
should labour to procure the best terms of pacifi-
cation and security for the Greeks—policy and
humanity. The latter motive is obvious—and
supposing, for a moment, that the Greeks were
left exposed to the vengeance and fury of their
barbarian rulers, would not this be the very
surest means of leaving Russia a pretext for
interference and intrigue ?

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The interval since the appointment of Mr
Canning to the office of Secretary • of State for
Foreign Affairs, has proved a perfect chasm in
political speculation. Lord William Bentinck,
and several others, have been mentioned as can-
didates for the Government of India : but of do-
mestic politics or parties nothing has transpired.
The present season of the year, when the princi-
pal actors on the political stage are dispersed in
search of recreation on the Continent, or adjust-
ing their fretted plumage in rural retirement
at home, is not the precise moment which might
he expected to prove fruitful of political intrigue;
but the very ceremony of filling up that which
was lately the most important place in the Ca-
binet, might be expected to produce some little
noise and bustle—some little boasting among fol-
lowers of the new plans and extraordinary ex-
ertions for the good of the country, to console it
for what it has lost, and raise its drooping
spirits with promises pf the future. Nothing
of the kind has attended the accession of Mr.
Canning to office. He has taken posses-
son of his house in Downing-street with as
little ectat as any one of his porters, and all we
are told of him is, that he has had a bed fitted
up for him—we suppose 6‘ a bed of roses"—on
which he is to repose on nights of heavy debate in
the ensuing Session of Parliament, his residence
at Gloucester Lodge being at a rather inconve-
nient distance. But it may be asked, what sort
of political speculation might we expect to hear
consequent upon the appointment of the new
Secretary for Foreign Affairs ? We answer, the
cause of Greece. f any one subject could be
conceived more likely than another to interest
the feelings of Mr. Canning, it is the. cause
of this oppressed people. But we have re-
marked in the Ministerial Press a more de-
cided opposition to their cause than that which
distinguished it in the time of his predecessor.—
According to the Treasury Journals, it would
be extreme weakness—a partiality totally un-
worthy of a Statesman—to feel any interest for
the Greeks, or to be influenced in his conduct
towards them by a childish regard for the me-
mory of their ancestors, or their relation to us as
Christians persecuted by Infidels.

POETRY.

HYMN AFTER HARVEST.
0 God! the God of praise,

How merciful art thou!
To thee we would our voices raise,
For they're demanded now.

All we possess below
Directs our thoughts above ;
The blades that shoot, the plants that grow,
Point to the source of love.

Thou gav'st the glowing ray._
The gentle, genial shower ;
And made WI thousand causes play
With all their wonted power.

Thou braced the brawny arm,
To till the yielding soil ;
Gave happiness and ev'ry charm
To lighten mortal toil.

Thus is fulfill'd again
Thy promise ever sure :
" See4-time and harvest shall remain
While sun and moon endure."

And all our fears surpass'd,
Our wishes and our care,
Behold we plenty round us cast,
Forman and beast to share.

O God ! the God of praise,
How merciful art thou !
To thee we would our voices raise,
For they're demanded noze.

The line of procession reached from the Town Hall nearly to
the bottom of Thames-street ; and his Royal Highness and the
whole of the Grand Lodge and Craft being in their full cos-
tutoe;and decorated with all the honours of Freemasonry, had a
most peculiar and grand effect. On their arrival at the place where
the stone was to be laid, the Brethren and others who walked
in procession formed themselves -on a platform, which was
erected immediately above the• spot intended for the cere-
mony.; and the Mayor and Corporation, Committee, and.the
-Attendants on his Royal Highness were ohly allowed to descend
into the foundation. The pressure that now took place was
excessive, so anxious were the populace to view the ceremony.
On his Royal Highness, &c. descending;, the stone which'
had been lowered by the workmen had some cement placed
underneath it, and a lower stone had a hole worked in it, in-
tended for the coins and medals which were to be deposited
therein. His Royal Highness then ordered the !stone to be
lowered, and the Chaplain recited an appropriate prayer ; on
which the stone was placed, and his Royal Highness performed
the ceremonies by placing under the stone a sovereign, a half-
sovereign, a dollar, a half-crown, a shilling, a six-pence; a
four-penny piece, a two-penny and penny-piece--current
coins of the realm. His Royal Highness then delivered
to the architect a plan of the building,. and some of the
.instruments of masonry, wishing him success in his un-
tlertaking. His Royal Highness then re-ascended the .plat-
form and: the 'Grafi& Officer delivered an. oration whiai con-
cluded the ceremony,. when the loud acclamatinns of the pee-.
ple ensued. The procession. then ..returned by the east, side!:

SPAIN.

MADRID, MAY 9.—The town of Lorca is re-
presented as having been the seat of a very
-serious affray between the military and the peo-
ple. Several individuals, charged "with a con-
spiracy against the Constitutional System, had
'for some time been confined in the prisons of that
place. On the 30th of April multitudes assem-
bled, forced the guard and set the prisoners free.
The soldiers attempted to disperse the people,but
in vain ; and the house of the Judge was then
-entered by main force, and all the papers sup-
,posed to relate to the proceedings against the
,prisoners were burnt. Fresh detachments of
.troops arrived, and the order was given to tire on
the people, and after a desperate struggle, in
which many were killed4on both sides, the troops
,ultimately remained masters of the field.
There has been also a serious disturbance at
.:-Carthagena, occasioned by numerous armed

bodies of the inhabitants insisting on some troops,
which arrived in that city on the 16th April,
shouting live .Riego! which was answered on the
part of the soldiers by cries of Live the-Consti-
tutional King biit-the militaiye were withdrawn
and order was restored without the loss of any

ives.

Private Cor.respondence.—On the 7th, in an
Extraordinary Sitting, the Deputy Meca read to
the Cortes several Petitions, relating- to he
alarming tumults which took place on the 30th
April, in the town of Lorca, in the province of
Murcia. Upon the Report of a Special Commis.
sion, relative to this unfortunate affair, the Cortes,
after a very animated discussion; decreed on the
following day, by a majority of 86 to 53, that
the Political Chief, General Abadia, should be
brought to trial ; by a majority of 128 to 7, that
the Alcaldes, and by a majority of 77 to 57, that
the Members of the Municipality of Lorca, should
be also brought to trial.
Colonel Feliciano del Rio, known for his pa-
triotism, is appointed Political Chief of Murcia,
in place of General Abadia.

OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS

LAID BEFORE CONGRESS ON THE 16TH OF APRIL, RELA-
TIVE TO THE CLAIM OF RUSSIA TO CERTAIN TERRI-
TORIAL AND MARITIME RIGHTS ON THE NORTH-WEST
COAST OF AMERICA.
Department of State, Washington,
April 13, 1822.
, The Secretary of State, to whom has been referred the reso-
lution of the House of Representatives of the 16th of February
last, requesting the President of the United States " to com-
municate to that House whether any foren Government has
made claim to any part of the territory of the United States
upon the coast of the Pacific Ocean, north of the 42d degree of
latitude, and to what extent ; whether any regulations have been
made by foreign Powers affecting the trade on that coast, and
how far it affects the interests of this Republic; and whether.
any communications have been made to this Government by
foreign Powers, touching the contemplated occupation of the
ColuMbia river ;" has the honour of submitting to the Presi-
dent sundry papers containing the inforMation embraced by
the resolution.
At the time when the subject of the proposed occupation of
the Columbia river was presented to the consideration of Con-
gress, at their last session, the Minister of Great Britain, at two
several interviews withsthe Secretary of State, suggesting that
h Great Britain had claims on the north west coast of America
with which he conceived that such occupation on the part of the
United States woald conflict, had requested to be informed
what were ,the intentions of the Government of the United
States in this respect. The Secretary of State declined answer-
Mg those inquiries, or discussing those claims, otherwise than
in ,writing. But no written communication upon the subject
has been received. " JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

ROYAL NAY-Y.

LAUNCH OF THE RuSSELL.—Yesterday morn•
ing, owing to the fineness of the day, the roads leading to
Deptford were thronged with persons to witness the launch of
the Russell, a fine 74 gun ship, from the King's Dock-yard.
Several stages covered with canvas were erected round the slip
where the ship lay, for the accommodation of Ladies and Gen.
tlemen, and were crowded several hoprs before the ship went
off the stocks. There was a strong military guard at the great
entrance gates, besides a numerous body of parish and special
constables stationed in various parts of the Dock-yard to pre-
serve order. Previous to the ship going off the stocks, several
of the Nobility and persons of the highest respectability went
on board to view her, and many remained till after the launch.
She is a very fine built ship ; her head is adorned with a full
length figine of the brave Admiral RUSSELL, who commanded
at La Hogue, finely carved and painted, and it is impossiHe
for any figure of the kind to sit better on the cut-water ; the
rake is perfectly suitable to that of the stern. She is con-
structed between the ports on Sir R. SEPPING'S plan, the
decks are laid diagonally, the stern, gallery, and windows, are
remarkably neat and plain, and the quarter-gallerks are formed
in a style of workmanship that adds considerably to her gran-
deur. All the ships on the River displayed their colours, and
the seamen vied with each other in ornamenting their yards,
and in the neatness of their vessels ; the whole of that part of
the River presented a spectacle truly picturesque, and the
music of the different bands on the water rendered the scene
most delightful. As soon as the tide began to approach the
slip, the dock-yard men commenced removing the shores which
supported the ship on the stocks, and when the water had.
flowed nearly high enough, the usual signal was given, &e
remaining shores were taken away, and she went off the slips
in the most majestic manner, amidst the loud acclamations of
several thousand spectators. The bands pf music at the time
struck up " Rule Britannia," and the grandeur of the scene
cannot be expressed. The company on board of her then came
on shore, sails were hoisted on the jury mast, nil she dropped
down to Woolwich with a fine breeze.

[MORNING POST.I

From every thing which transpires, it appears more andmore
e'etient that the-attempt of the Spanish Guards was not an in-
s bated enterprise, but that it was connected with a general
!Ann, prepared by foreign intrigue, and intended to break out
once on so great a variety of points, as to compel the Con-
stitutionalists to divide their forces, and leave them no main
"tetly to resist the approach of a regular army. In its eager-
atss to give the most favourable colouring to the affairs of
the Royalists, the Cbcotidienne betrays the existence of compli-
city. It chews that if insurrections have manifested themselves
►r. numerous places, they all did so at one and the period,
.:„erresponcling with the rebellion of the Guards, and before itr.
issue could possibly be knovm. Such regularity could not be
:he effect of chance ; it was the Work of design, and as the
ing was instantaneous, so will have been their downfall on
learning that the Guards had been defeated, the authors of the
-plot exposed, and that the King himself had become the active
prosecutor of those, who, if they did not act under his positive
eiders, were proceeding in the execution of their dark Inachina
it.ons with his privacy and approbation.

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 29. •
Our Wheat market this worming may be considered from
one to two shillings per quarter dearer for prime samples,
but very little doing at that advance, and should the present ap-
pearance of showery weather not continue, it is notlikely Wheats
will maintain the above advance. Our Barley trade yery dull
to-day not being much in demand, and Beans not much in re-
quest, and last week's prices very dull. No alteration in the
price of Flour.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning,
as Mrs. Knight, an aged woman, residing in Garden-row,,
Londen-road, wife of one of the Vergers of the Philanthropic
Chapel, was endeavouring to turn off the water, the' iiricks on
which the water-butt was placed suddenly gave way, and the
'full butt jammed her against the wall with such violence as to
force the bones of the chest through her heart, which occasioned
her instant death. A Coroner's inquest will be held on the
body this day.
On Saturday the remains of Mr. Munn, Mercer, of Great
Russell-street, Covent:garden, whose case we have already
stated, after the inspection of the Jury, (who returned a verdict'
of Accidental Death), were removed to his ow‘h-house, and
from thence to St. Paul's, Covent-garden, whiltehe was in-
terred. The deceased was a young tradesmairsd much re-
spected by his neighbours, many of whom follbwtd the corpse'
to the grave.
_

On Saturday morning, between two arid three
o'clock; the house of Mr. R. H. LAU par, No. 53, Fleet-street,
was entered by thieves, who contrived to break open his desk
in his countinghouse, and his drawer in the iron safe, and stole
therefrom 251. in bank-notes and about 401. in sovereigns, also,
a snuff-box (of French make), with the portrait of the Duke of
Wellington—the Wis formed of two VV's. They had alsu•
packed up a basket of pocket maps and two coats, but the watch-,
man giving the alarm these were not taken away. The bark
notes are two for 101. each, Nos. 11,386 and 11,387, dated 15t1i.
June, 1822. The 5/. note was taken of the Duchess of Wel-
lington on the 25th inst. and has her Grace's name written'
across on the back, with J. L. and Mr. Laurie's signature ua_
der it.

In a dreadful thunder storm at Waterford ou
Saturday afternoon, Wm. Sullivan was struck instantaneously,
dead; ayeaping hook which he held in his hand is suppossd(e
have been the cause of the attraction.--(Limerick ChroAicec,
June 24.)

[BRITISH PRESS.]

ire last night received Spanish Papers, containing intelli-
gence front Madrid to the 16th instant. The account of our
pivate Correspondent, stating the total destruction of the Royal
guards concerned in the mutiny of the 7th at Madrid, was nearly
correct. It is stated in the present papers-that only fifty of that'
tcdy have escaped. The machinations of the disaffected in
the 'provinces against the new Constitution, as we anticipated,
have been rendered abortive in some instances, and dis-
ouraged in all the provinces- by the signal and decided failure
a the late attempt in the capital. The King has ordered the
individuals of the rebel guards who have been taken to be tried
by court martial. This circumstance affords some evidence of
his innocence of the charge of having favoured theLfdesperate
enterprize.

MORNING CIIRONICLF.]
The Daily Press has been virulently assailed because
it did not in the very first instance emblazon in all its
most disgusting colours the late horrible occurrence. Jour-
nalists owe a duty to society paramount to their obligation
to supply the incidents of the passing time, which is, to keep
carefully from their columns all those gross subjects, which
not only wound delicacy, but tend to the corruption of inno-
cence. There is reason to believe, in a multitude of instances,
that the very knowledge even of the existence of such a prac-
tice, as the abomination in question is derived from judicial
investigations ; and it has been the opinion of many excellent
?ersons—lawyers as well as moralists—that the interests of
purity and virtue would be better consulted by abstaining alto-.
gether from prosecution, which cannot fail to give publicity to
these detestable pollutions, than by the effects of any punish-
ment that can be inflicted upon the wretched offenders.

[THE TIMES.]
The brave inhabitants of Greece are now supporting a war
against the Turks, more necessary, more hallowed than that of
any Colonies against their parent State. The Spanish Colo-
nies had not at least to fear the violation of their women, the
•leadirl of their children into slavery, or the utter exter-
mination of all their whole male race ; they could not
dread that the Spaniards would massacre the Ministers of
their Church, overthrow their altars, or extirpate Chris-
tianity from amongst them. Spain had created her coin-
.7,ies, and though an unsound, it is not an unnatural
sentiment for the mother country, that what she had created
;he had a right to keep. The cause of the Spanish and of the
English Colonists, therefore wants something of that obvious
and overpowering justice, which (without predicting how it may
terminate) inspires the quarrel of the Greek nation. Their lives
are in jeopardy, and their Christian religion is at stake.

[rccw TIMES.)
The Paris Journals of Thursday are filled with the proceed- ,
ings of the Chamber of Deputies, which is still engaged in the '
discussion of the financial arrangements. The debate of Wed-
nesday was of some interest. The subject immediately under
zonsideration being the grant proposed for the expenses of
:the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an opportunity was affordo
for general observations- on the foreign policy of the French
Government. M. de Montmorency
,and de Bonald were heard
with great attention,, and, produced a powerful effect; but
the most remarkable exhibition of . the day was a speech
th' General F oy, 'full of absurdity and violence, calling for
a crusade against the. Turks, and attributing the conflict
at Madrid to the operation of the cordon sanitaire. If no-
thing else, it is at least entertaining, and must be received with
some merciful indulgence here, since we cannot be quite suie
that General Foy has not taken a hint from certain orators of
cur own country, and that he has not in some instances even
been at the pains of snaking a free translation of their language.

German Papers to the 21st instant have ar-
rived, and contain an account of a bold, but unsuccessfhl,
attempt made by the Greeks to burn the Turkish Fleet on the
31st of May, in which the valour of the Greeks is said to bare
been as conspicuous as the cowardice of their opponents was
disgraceful. It appears, however, by our extracts on Satur-
day, that the attempt was renewed with better success on the
22d.0f June, and proved fatal to the Capitan Pacha.

Private letters from Paris this morning states
iat a courier had arrived from Spain ; but the dispatches were

not suffered to transpire.

[Extract of a Letter from Cirragoo, June 101
" By accounts from the Main, it is asserted that the Spanish
General MoitAiEs, who made his escape with about 900 men
after his defeat, and, by his own assertion, is cooped up in a
langoom with his handful of troops, writes as follows :—ln four
or five days I shall march for the capital, in order to punish
these vagabonds, meaning the army of the Patriots, which has
atchieved so complete a victory over hint."

Samuel Butcher, residing at Mile-end, who
kept a large dog, having taken into his head to divert hims.lf
and others a few days ago by the cruel sport of cat baiting, and
the dog not exerting itself to the satisfaction of its master, was
beaten by him in a most brutal manner. The animal at length,
in retaliation, flew at his unmerciful keeper' and inflicted very
severe wounds about his face, _limbs, and body, in some in-
stances tearing out large mouthfuls of his flesh, and at last
clung so fast to the unfortunate man, that before he could be
disengaged the animal's throat was obliged to be tut. The
man was promptly conveyed to the London Hospital, and
there died of the injuries he 'had received, oft Saturday morning.
