OLD BAILEY-(Tm9 as.T.)

Mr. Justice PARE, on the Judges taking their
seats this day, said he held in his hand a letter
relative to an unfortunate youth, Mined John
'Wilson, who was found guilty on Wednesday.—
That letter contained an offer to take the youth
Ito sea, and if the person wee now present, the
Court wished to see him. A Gentleman named
Foster ti►en appeared, and the Court intimated
that, after having undergone some punishment,
he should be delivered up to him.
ButtaLArtY.—George Field was put to, the
bar on a►t indictment, charging him with bur.
gloriously breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Andrew Kelly, in the parish of Ed.
mouton, on the 13t1► of October last, and stealing
therein a quantity of property, the goods of the
said Andrew Kelly. The facts of the case were
fully brought home to the prisoner, and the Jury
found him Guilly—Deulh.

The Grand Jury, having gone through the pre.
geutinvlali, were discharged, niter having made a
very favourable report of the state of Newgate.

great personage, we mean the Statue in front of or Ex-
change, has positively risen from his horse within these few
days. lie is bent forward like a rider using the greatest pus-
sib!e expedition, and has his face anti hand turned mere south-
west to Ireland. Such is his energy, that he has torn up
the rivets in the saddle. He is evidently after something of
importance, and it is supposed the appearance of Prince Ho•

EXTRAOavINARY OUTuAGE. 11e 0.
bourhood of Pimlico, during the last week. and
the early part of this, has been very much
alarmed in consequence of a report that a ghost
had been seen in various shapes and forms in the
fields adjoining, and also in the Five Fields,
the females in particular were so alarmed,
that they durst not venture out after
dark. On Tnesday night showers of stones,
brickbats,ind missiles,the attack was more particu-
larly directed to the windows of the bouserback
of Elizabeth-place, Queen-street ; almost every
pane at Nos. 4,5, 6, and 7, were demolished, some
of the stones weighed at least seven pounds, and
passed so close to the heads of some of the Inmates
that they were in imminent danger. Persons ven-
tured out, but could not discover from whence-
the stones came. Wednesday Might, about
the same hour, the very same outrage was com-
menced with rather increased fury. Con.
stables, watchmen, arc. were procured by the in-
habitants, every corner was searched, hut in vain.
On Thursday, at the same sloe precisely,it com-
menced again, and seme.valuable glasses and fur.
rtiture were destroyed, but the diabolical offender
could not he discovered. Yesterday Cooperota
officer from Queen-square, was sent for, but he
could not trace the concealment of the ghost,
which still strengthenett the report, and the Oak—

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

X4lriecte from the harming ropers, October 25

[TM 7
We have received the Madrid Gazette, and the
Bestaurador of the 16th inst. The addresses
which the partisans of the ancient despotism have
transmitted from every part of Spain to the Re-
gency at Madrid, are now re•priated and pro.
losely circulated, being given gratuitouly to the
tabble of th♦ Faith, to peruse them, if they can,
which we apprehend they are as little able to do,
ab to pay for them. We have translated as a
bperi men of these documents, the Represen-
tation of the Ayuntamiento of Corunna against
Legislative Chambers, and praying for the

):e.establishment of the Inquisition, to protect
Spain against heresy ; and the restoration of
the order of the Jesuits, for the instruction
of youth. The Representation forms a sup.
plement (distributed gratis) to the Restaurador
of the Mit. The Madrid Gazette contains two
of King Ferdinand's decrees and a dispatch from
Carlos O'Domsel, announcing the surrender of
Citified Rodrigo. The Restaurador has a long
:article against the purchasers of church property,
and a letter from Puerto de Santa Maria, boasting
of a sort of theatrical change of dress which was,
it seems, exhibited by the Queen of Spain and
the Princesses, on their passage from Cadiz, to
the great dismay of the poor Constitutionalists.
The writer of that letter thus describes this act of
heroism :
" I have now to inform you of a sublime deed, which, the
circumstances considered, merits to be recorded among those
which have distinguished the most celebrated heroines. Our
Lady, the Queen, and most serene Infamies, Dona Mute
de Asia and the Duchess of Burs, left Cadiz in tar-
tan dresses (trees esoceres), with white and red scarfs; but
when they were about half a gun-shot from the Cadiz batteries,
they stripped off the skilfully prepared tunic of simulation,
and appeared ;n scsrlet-celoured rebel, bestrewed with j:lfurs
de-lie Of so large a size, that they could be easily distinguished
at a considerable distance, thus proclaiming that they had been,
and continued to be, Royalists. The Garth!. Valdes anti Oyez
were thunderstruck and changed colour at the sight ! You
will doubtless be astonished that these leading clamourers for
" the Constitution or Deaths," should thus be taken by sue.
prise, and turn pale with envy at seeing so mach firmness,
coUrage, and grandeur of soul."

Letters from Seville state, that the Duke of
Angouleme arrived in that city on the 10th in
the morning, and departed in the evening of the
same day. flu did not, therefore, spend much
time either in religious exercises or affectionate
felicitations with the King of Spain. emu'

We yesterday received Letters and Papers
fiout Paris to Wednesday evening; their coil-
tents are highly important. Our Private Corre-
spondence affords n key to some circumstances
which have occasioned much anxiety both here
and at Paris—the state of the King of France's
health---the late change. in the French Cabinet—
and: the recognition or disavowal of the Spanish
Loans.---Of each of thesis topics in its turn. It
is but too true that the health of Louis XVIII.
has been for some time past declining. His age is
by no means extreme, for ho has not vat com-
pleted his (Bth year: but his corpulence and
ether. CuMititulional habits are unfavourable to
a healthy old ace; and the fatigues of Govern-
ment may well be believed to press heavily on
his frame. Our Correspondent mentions an ac-
credited report that on Wednesday morning his
Majesty • was troubled, with an indigestion which
produced a sort or lethtrgic fit. This, however,
50011 went'oir, and he, recovered entirely before
the evening. Every little circumstance is newts
rally laid hold of to augment the apprehensions
of the public in mica of this kind ; but it tines
nut appear in the present instance that there
was much ground for alarm. The time has past
by when the very existence of the legitimate Cles

Bourbon Throne in France, es well as of
restoring it in Spain; and whenever Fate shall
transfer the Sceptre from his handy to those of his
Royal Successor, the change will probably be as
little felt as in the succession of George I V. to
George 111. Any alarm on account of supposed
divisious in the French Cabinet are still more
chimerical. The cause of the Marshal Duke de

likely to cement still more closely their union.

The interference of the Holy Allies in the
internal *Mars of Spain, we were persuaded from

the first, was never meant to end where ft began;
and the events of every hour confirm our opinion
that their interposing piety looked for its reward
in
,a quarter where they wilt ere long seek to
obtain it. We knew that many- persons of dis.
tinguished lead and influence in France cons!.
dared the war with Spain as the fore.runner of
an inevitable war with England. A pamphlet

self upon our reflection ; it canvasses, with a
shrewd conciseness, the policy of Mr. Canning,
and glances with a short but severe sarcasm at the
character of the Duke of Wellington. It con-
firms in every page the opinion we have always
expressed us to the danger to be apprehended
to this coentry from the military ambition of
" eats pierre angulaire de la Sainte-
d" Nance." We fear that Mr. Canning will soon
have "to mix in warlike councils." The Northern
Wolf turns on us every d►►y a more formidable
aspect. Ought the crisis that is approaching to
have eluded the calculations of the British Ca-
binet ? Or is it that the over-ruling influence of
a great military leader made the wisdom of
better men bend before it ? By whom or for
whatever objects the character of Great
has been compromised, the time is come t7hen
she must trend back her steps, end turn egz!n
into that path of honour in which alone s. groat
nation can tread with safety. To meet the cr's's
that is fast approaching, will require all the wis-
dom and all the watchfulness that our Forr7:n
Secretary can bring to it. We trust that Mr.
Canning has more skill than to be carried away
by the current ; he has hitherto 0141111 an adroit-

nes, in tacking, so as to keep always to wind-
ward ; if he manages the foreign interests of the
country with the same address that he displays
in promoting his own, they cannot be entrusted
