SURREY LENT ASSIZES—KnrosTow, APRIL 2.
CIVIL SIDE.

(Before Mr. Baron GRAHAM.)

THE KING Y. PALMER AND ANOTHER.
This was an indictment against the defendants, Henry
Palmer and Thomas Joshua Park, for a conspiracy to obtain
by fraud Bills of Exchange to the amount of 2,0001., and War-
rants of Attorney to the same amount, from Sir Thomas
Swymi-ner Champneys, Bart.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. WALFORD and Mr.
ADOLPHUS ; the defence of Park by Mr. GURNEY and the,
nnoN SERJEANT, and Palmer conducted his own defence.
The trial of this case lasted the whole of yesterday, and
finished this day at three o'clock.
The leading circumstances proved in evidence were the same
AS those detailed some time since in our Reports from Union-
hall.

On his ere-Ss-examination, Sir Tlpmas S. Champrieys ad-
mitted that for the last thirty years he had been greatly embar-
rassed and had endeavoured to raise money by the usual means
of discounting bills at most enormous sacrifices, buying timber,
velvets, silks 2 &c., and reselling the property at great loss. He
said that during this time he had been the victim of all the
swindling money-lenders in town, upwards of forty of whom he
had in a list as scoundrels who had been pecking at him, and
endeavouring to obtain his securities tending to his utter ruin.
He admitted that during this period he had been raising money
by these means to the amount of 200,0001.
His, evidence was corroborated by several witnesses, whose
names he had mentioned as being present at, or connected with
the transaction which he described.

The defendant, PALMER, addressed the Jury on his own
part, and Mr. GURNEY on behalf of Park. The topics ad-
dressed were that there was nothing like a conspiracy in the
case, inasmuch as the prosecutor was a man hackneyed in the
ways of the world, who could not complain of having been de-
ceived; that no fraud had been committed upon him, for that
his bills were complete waste paper; that he and his servant
Higgins were themselves conspirators in drawing anti accepting
bills to deceive the world; and, in short, that the defendants
were the sufferers, who had been deluded out of their money
by the designing ingenuity of the prosecutor.
Mr. Baron GRAHAM summed up the case with strict impar-
tiality, and the Jury, after a short deliberation, found both the
defendants Guilty.

STORIES FOR GROWN OENTLESIEN•

Mn. Enrroa-,—Some years ago, in the Island
of Antigua, there was a Society of Odd Fellows,
, called the QUIZMENOGS, who not only assumed
nicknames for themselves, but also bestowed
them upon every body else. An American
Timber Merchant, residing in St. John's, was
very much dissatisfied with his sobriquet, and
came to the wise resolution of riding out, one
day, to the house of a Planter in the vicinity,
who was a very active member of this Quizzical
Society, in hopes of getting rid of it. He
was received on the plantation with much kind-
ness ; and, whilst walking over the grounds,
made some observations on a large building,
newly erected, but only roofed in part. " Why
do not you complete this ?" said the Timber-
man. " Because," replied the Planter, " I can-
not find any good SIIINGLES in the Market."—
" Oh ! my dear friend, you shall not wait for
that. I have just imported a cargo of the best
New England Pitch-pine, and to-morrow I shall
send you enough to finish it."—" Much obliged ;
but the price?"—" Oh! nothing to a friend."—
" Indeed ! how then can I repay you ?"—" My
dear fellow, you have great influence with the
Quizmenogs! Can't I have my name changed ?"
—" Undoubtedly ! we meet in a week. Consi-
der it done !"

Ten days after, the planter having rode into
St. John's, the friends met. " Well ! my dear
fellow," said the Timber man, 44 is my name
changed ?" It is—and the Shingles were excel-
lent !"—" Ten thousand thanks ! Well ! and
what is my name now ?"—" :JACKY PITCHPINE !"

London, England, 1822-04-04

DIED.

On Sunday, 31st ult., of aPPPlexy, Mr. Wm. Sutton, of Pa-
ternoster-row, youngest son of the late Rev. Wm. Button, whcr
also died by a similar visitation of God in August last.
. On the 2d instant, suddenly, while returning on horseback to
his house at Homerton, Mr. John Barton, of Tower-street.
On the 31st ult. at his house, Newington-place, Kennington,
in his 74th year, Mr. John Haddock, of the late banking-house'
of Whitehead, Howard, and Hadd9ck,'Cateaton-street.
On the 2d instant, at Dorking, in the 84th year of her age,
Catherine, relict of the Rev. Owen Manning, of Godalmingon
the-county of Surrey.
We are sorry to learn, by a private letter, the- sudden death
of the Rev. John -Williams Vicar. of East Testead, Hants.
On Saturday morning, Mr, W. called at Mr. Ady's, a grocer
at Turnham Green, to wait for the stage to Testead, when he
entered into conversation with Mr. A. on a variety of philan-
thropic topics, in which he, felt much interested—as the Abori-
tion of the Slave Trade, the Peace Society, the new system of
the Education of the Poor, &c. and expressed his hope, that,
by these means, knowledge would universally. prevail, When
he had uttered this, his last wish, he fell back and instantly
expired. Mr. Williams was afternoon Lecturer at Chiswick
church for nearly-twenty years, and was universally respected
for his piety, evangelical principles, and benevolent conduct.
But though an impressive and faithful preacher, he was never
popular, owing to an asthmatic complaint under which he la-
boured. He was attentive to visiting the sick, and enforced a
strict observation of the Sabbath!--(Mornilfg Pop"..)

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The English Funds are uncommonly heavy this day. Consols •
for the settlement at the end of this month opened at 808, but
they could not maintain this value, falling to bohl, and closing at '
80,1 i. The late disgraceful scenes in the Parisian Anglo•Theatrd
are rather calculated to strengthen the doubts of Fundholders in
the permdnency of the present EurOpean syStem and however
trivial this affair may seem at first sight, it is very importimt as'
an indication of the national feeling. ' The French have not for.-
gotten their recent humiliation, however much we may• be d 6.
serous they should.. Under these circumstances, the British
Government, as the head of the civilized world, ought to assist
rather than oppose the nations who endeavour to render them.
selves free. Spain, South America, and Greece, are natura'
Allies of the British Empire, and so also is Italy. In place
of gratitude for mighty services performed -by England, the ,
breasts of the Members of the Holy Alliance are filled with
envy at her greatness, and hatred at her prosperity and
power. , To maintain the present elevation of the British
Empire amongst the nations of • the earth, the mercantile
interest can conceive no means so proper and likely to
6e availing, as by fostering the liberties of mankind in
whatever quarter they may arise, and by leading them to
believe that England is their guardian and friend. In Europe, '
there is.. at present a conspiracy against the expansion of the
human mind, and against the liberties of the hunian-Aace..
—By opposing this spirit, England will render her-own free-
dom
more secure, and her character illustrious.' The Foreign
Funds still continue in demand, and generally maintain the
prices paid for them yesterday. The French Rentes continue at
92. 50. Prussian Fives are a shade lower, having. been done'di
88k; and Mr. ROTH s new Prussian Loan is 881. Spanish
old Bonds are 638, and the new 62 -4 ; Danish, 871; eapo-
litan, 738; Russian Metallic Fives are 79k; and Mr. Ito Tits-
CHILD'S new Russian Loan, 83i; Austrian Metallic_ Fives
are 79; American Bank shares, 22; Sevens, 94; Sixes, 1815, ,
98; Threes, 688; Fives, 1820, 95; and Fives of 1821, 98. The
Chili Loan has advanced to . 821 S and Colombian Sixes are noted'
at 86i. The arrivals of gram are uncommonly large fo!,thk
season of the year. Since last Monday there have appearid
for the sale in Mark-lane, 4,800 sacks of flour, 10,800 quarters
of wheat, 300 quarters of barley, and 5,800 quarters of oats:—
The weather continues very favourable for gathering the abun-
dant gifts of the fields, and another over production of nature
is likely once more to curse the British people.—(Mording

NEW TIMES.

Our readers are; awarelhat one of the inferior
Theatres at Paris, having engaged an itinerant.
company of English Comedians to perform Eng-
lish plays,. the poor actors and: actresses were
treated by the audience with the most savage
brutality. The Morning Chronicle may well
term ,this " .a.. disgraceful. affair ; " but we can-
not allow that tlredisgfaee ought to fall .on•the
French natibti--Wa: nation," as Burke eloquently
said, 46 of gallantsmen, of men of honour, and of
Cavaliers !",-7.N0 ; it belongs wholly and exclu-
sively to that barbarous and-Anti-French faction,
which usurps the tiaxne of "the nation," as unjustly
as it does the epithets of liberal .and constitutional.
The Chronicle, honestly ashamed of its friends,
the Liberals, endeavours nevertheless to-excuse
them, by intimating that they were on this occa-
sion no worse than the Royalists. But this apo-
logy, ,miserable as it is, will not serve its turn.
Whatever other faults the Royalists may possess,
they halt never been accused of not being Gen-
tlemen they have always retained "that
generous loyalty to funk, and sex" by which
they are characterised in the works of our great
Statesman. Would a Royalist have thrown a
two sous piece at a pretty young actress, wounded
her in the eye, and made her faint away with
pain and terror ? Such an unmanly piece of
cruelty Could only proCeed from a mind brutalised
by the ferocious principles of the, Revolution.

PIRACIES.

[Extract of a Letter front llavannah, dated June 24.]

" Never were British vessels of war more needed than at the
present moment. Commerce is completely exposed to the
attacks of the-Pirates, who increase daily both in numbers and
audacity. The only check upon theth is the force of the United
States, which is, however, totally inadequate to the protection
of trade, equipt ligfit schooners, and even boats, who cruise
just out of sight. The Authorities here are entirely unable
to check the depredations almost hourly committed in the very
sight of land. The practice of vessels waiting •in this port
for convoy, prevents at*/ chance of those bound to Europe or
elsewhere being captured. But this has only changed the evil
instead of removing iF, for the Pirates, in the place of having
spies here to watch the, departure of the different ships, as was
formerly their practice, for the purpose of plundering out-
ward-bound vessels, have altered their plan, and know of
this port, and the moment any ship 'is discerned, notice is given
to those on sliore, when a force sufficient is dispatched, and it is
a great chance if their intended prey escapes. Under these cir-
cumstances all vessels from Europe, or any other part of 'the•
world, must unavoidably fall into their hands, mit having the
advantages possessed by those which are 'bound from the-part,
and which now never depart without protection.. The Spanish
corvettes Isabel arid:4l;les, whicksailed on the2sth ult. had no
fewer than 30 sail of spanish vessels, besides a large number of
British, French, and Dutch vessels under their prOtectton. Some
of these had been waiting here for convoy for *sortie weeks, which
alone is a great drawback to commerce. The cargo of one of
these (the Sybele ) will net, it is imagined, 20 per cent. by this
delay. The American schooner Grampus arrived here a few
day& back, from an unsuccessful cruize against the pirates. The
American Captain (Perry) has, however, captured two piratical
schooners; one of them had on board the cargo of an English
brig she had captured on the preceding day. Our letters froth
Jamaica, Providence, and other parts' of the West Indies, are
also mere repetitions of the piratical enormities ; and from the
former place the complaints are particularly numerous. ' Many
individuals here are suspected of having acquired immense
sums by these nefarious proceedings."
London, England, 1822-08-08

EUROPE.

All goods of the growth, produce, or manufacture of Europe,
except such manufactured articles as are specially prohibited,
and the following may be .imported in a,ny ships.

growth produce or manufacture, or in ships of the built of and
belonging to the country, port, or place in Europe, into which
suelfgoods shall have been' brought, or imported, and landed;
all such foreign ships to: be navigated by a master and three-
fourths at least of the mariners thereof, upon 'forfeiture. of the
goods and of a sum not exceeding 1001. by the master of the ship.
All British-built ships which shall have been registered, ana
which shall belong to any person not being a subject of his

THE THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.—Mr. KEAN returned to this
Theatre last night, in the character of Richard
the Third, and received from a crowded au-
dience such a warm reception as might be ex-
pected, considering the popularity which attends
him. He performed the part With unabated
spirit, and experienced throughout the most fa-
vourable testimonies of general approbation. Mr.
COOPER gave an animated portrait of Richmond,
and, with Mrs. GLOVER'S Queen, and Mrs.
W. WEST'S Lady Anne, had a liberal share of
applause.
COVENT.-G-ARDEN.—The'affecting tragedy of
Jane Shore drew a numerous audience to this
Theatre last night. On this occasion a young.
Lady, whose name we understand is JONES,
made her first appearance in the very difficult
part of Alicia. Her person is altogether pleasing,
and her manner easy and graceful. She appeared
to have studied the character, which she supported
with feeling and effect. We hear that this fair
candidate possesses very promising comic abili-
ties, but that it was thought proper to introduce
her first in tragedy, as the transition to comic
parts would be less abrupt, and tend more to
strew the variety of her talents. If her merit in
comedy should indeed be equal to what site dis-
played last night, she will be no slight acquisition
to the London Stage. Miss LACY again mani-
fested her high claims to public favour in the part
of Jane Shore. Nothing could be more affecting
than her representation of this unfortunate and
mournful heroine, and the warmth with which
she supported the_ cause of the 44 Royal little
ones" formed an animated and impressive contrast
to the general dejection and penitence of the cha-
racter. Both of these fair candidates received
great applause, and Miss LACY has now fully
confirmed her pretensions to a commanding sta-
tion on the winter boards. Mr. C. KEMBLE sup-
ported the character of Hastings with an air of
dignity and an expression of feeling highly
creditable to his ttlenls, and Mr. PATES, in the
part of Gloucester, considering that his abilities
chiefly belong to'broad characters in common life,
acquitted himself very successfully.
WEST LONDON THEATRE.—T w o new pieces

were introduced last night at this Theatre, the
first a whimsical and enlpertaining piece, entitled
The Sketch Book, in which Mr. and Miss'BausToN
highly gratified a numerous audience, and which
was generally well supported ; and the second anew
translation of the melo-drames of The Two Galley

Slaves; which is now representing with much
success at the two Patent Theatres. The latter

piece was, we understand, prepared with haste,
and the performance of last flight may therefore
be considered as a public rehearsal of what will
doubtless, on repetition, be brought forward with
more advantageous success.

TO MESSRS. BROWE'LL AND CO.
• London, Nov. 7, 1822.
GENTLEMEN,—On my Passage. from
Shields to Jamaica,' the latter end of last year, in
the Brig Temple, I bent a new Foresail, principally made of
Canvas prepared by your Anti-Mildew Process, and a new
Main-topsail and Jib, of the same maker, but nnprePared.—
Our voyage was severe, and the Sails hare suffered much in
consequence.—The Foresail has worn free of Mildew, except
in two parts, where the Canvas was unprepared, bat the
•Main-topsail and Jib are mach injured by the Mildew. The
Foresail is more pliable, furls easier, and appareutt,chier.
much quicker than the other Sails wade at the same titue,-so,
that I ant fully satisfied your Process is a complete preserva-
tive wherever it is used, and possesses other useful proper-
ties ; and I should wish it always to be used in any Vessel
where I may have the command.

[NEW , TIMES.]

The Funds continue to fall ; and the impres-
sion that hostilities are on the eve of breaking
out prevails generally on the Exchanges of Lon-
don and of Paris. To persuade the public in
either country that there is'no cause for appre-
hension would certainly be difficult : to catch up
and aggravate the alarm is extremely easy. The
former of these tasks we shall not attempt : the
latter we leave to those Journals which acknow-
ledge no ruling principal but the passions of the
multitude: It is believed that the French Army of
Observation is about to enter Spain. For our part,
we do not think that events are yet ripe for such a
measure : we trust that it may be averted ; but
if it should-take place, we consider that its con-
sequences-would be far less prejudicial than is
generally apprehended. We are well aware
how extremely desirable Peace is to Europe in
general, arid to England in particular : but be
it observed, a general peace does not now exist.
A civil war of a Most sanguinary kind is car-
rying o❑ in Spain : "and the ifiterference of a
Foreign Power may put an end to that contest
"at once : it may be the means, of tranquillising
Europe, instead of extending the sphere of deso-
lation. That any Power has a right to interfere
in a Civil War, and to support the party whose
cause it considers just, we have repeatedly shown
to be consistent with the most indisputable prin-
ciples of the Law of Nations ; but that- this in-
terference shoiild be avoided as long as is pos-
sible, consistently with the common good, is a
point on which, we trust and believe, all the
Great Powers'of Europe are fully agreed.

...Intigialp.m..r.

FROM PENSACOtiA.-By the way of New-York
we learn that the United States' schooner Amelia,
BAKE«,•arrived at New-Orleans on the 15th ult.
from St. Marks, East Florida.2—She lay off Pen-
sacola five hours, and took on board four
passengers. Deaths and desertion had nearly
depopulated Pensacola. Lieutenant CHAMBERS,
of the United States' army, came in the
Amelia from Barancas. lie furnished a list
of•deaths at Pensacola and Barancas, from the
15th August to the 11th September, containing
eighty-four names and it was supposed there
had been about forty others, whose names could
not be ascertained.—(Charleston Paper.)

IRELAND.—We have received the following
communication from a Magistrate in the county
of Kildare :—" Those parts of the county of
Kildare in the neighbourhood of Rathaugan,
Kildare, and Robertstown, have for the last two
months been much alarmed, in consequence of large
armed parties on foot and on horseback patroling
the country at night, and forcing their oaths of
' association on every person they can possibly
influence to take them. Several have been
severely flogged with thorn bushes for re-
fusing, or uttering a word against the Ribbon
system: One man, near Dunmurry, was, with-
in these few days, wounded through the neck
with a musket ball—he is likely to. recover. We
understand a considerable armed party was met
a few nights since near Ruthbridge by a patrole
of dismounted dragoons, attended by a Magi-
strate. The party fired on two constables who
were in advance, and on the constables returning
the fire they all dispersed into an adjoining bog.
The night being dark, the troops could not
I pursue them."--(Freeman's Journal.)

BRIGHTON, Nov. 13.—His MAJESTY has con-
siderably recovered. S;nce Sunday his health
has been hourly improving. The Duke of
CAMBRIDGE returned to the Palace very barly
this afternoon.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—We have heard
that the painful affection of the head, to which
the Duke of WELLINGTON has lately been sub-
ject, was caused by the improper application of
lunar caustic to a sore ear. It touched the tym-
panum of the ear, which became irritated, and
affected the nerves of the brain to a violent de-
gree. This we have from authority.—(Herald.)
Colonel REYNETT, Military Secretary to his
Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, left
town yesterday for Hanover, accompanied by,
Mr. A. WATHENI Bth Hussars.

ILLEGAL DISTILLATION.—A few days ago
Mr. Lauder, officer of Excise, with the assistance of a party
from. Peebles, seized a copper still of 66 gallons contents, four
fermenting tuns, and other casks, a quantity of malt, and
destroyed a great deal of wash. Thewhole was in full operation
in a very romantic glen near the source of the Tweeddale Burn,
which is there full of rocky precipices. The _distillery was so
ingeniously contrived, as to resemble one of the crags with the
sheep pasturing over it.—( Edinburgh Courant.)
