MR. FAUNTLERO Y.

Mn. PAUNTLEn.OY was on Saturday, until the
RECounEit's Report was made known, in a state of extreme
agitation. The public feeling was so strongly excited, that
even the gates of the prision were besieged by inquirers as to
the result of clie meeting of the Council. His MAJESTY was
occupied from two till live o'clock in receiving the Report Of the
Recorder, which was extremely heavy, including the cases of
twenty-four convicts, all of which underwent the most strict
examination. We understand that the October Sessions cases
would also have been reported, had not the Lord Chancellor
interposed an objection. The consequence of this interposition
was the postponement of the deliberation upon the cases of the
latter Sessions until Wednesday next. This was not all : The
Judges have appointed to meet either at Sergeants'-inn or at
Lincoln's-inn, to-morrow, for the impose of considing the ergo-
me.nts of Mr, Fauntleroy's Counsel in arrest of judgment; and
it is expected that the Lord Chancellor, who objects to any
two to propose, being by no means:" concluded"
sudden determination affecting human life, has, a question or
(to use a fa-
vourite expression of his own)'by 'Air. Baron (Jarrow's sudden
exposition of the law. '‘Fe have it upon undeniable authority
that the " delay," forming a part of his Lordship's character,
has been productive of great erects on the score of humanity.
Three or four Sessions ago, a female was tried fur having set
fire to a house, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged. The
sentence would have' been put into execution had not the Lord
Chancellor interposed with an objection which was admitted
by the Judgas to he conclusive ; and the girl was transported
to, New South Wales ; his Lordship acknowledging that die
verdict of the Jury was perfectly correct, bet submitting that
in his view of the case the, infliction of capital punishment
should be wrived. Although postponement in such a case as
Mr. Fauntleroy's may be supposed to communicate hope, he
has expressed no opinion that the slightest chance remains for
him. He was, however, apparently much relieved at hearing
that his case was not amongst the number of those just reported.
He bad before six o'clock on Saturday evening received a slip
of paper informing him that the Council had deferred the
October Sessions report. His brother was with him at the
moment. They had been both engaged in prayer, and in ap-
prehension every nionient of beholding the Recorder's black
seal.• Mr. Fauntleroy's brother and son are constantly with
him, and Mrs. Paunderoy has visited him six or seven
tin•ri within the last fortnight. The greater part of his time
may be said to be occupied in devotion, or in hearing his son
read religious books. Ile now sees very few persons, but num-
bers call at the prison, and leave their cards. Many attempts
have been made upon the part of his partners to obtain his sig-
nature to papers, absolving them from any participation in the
transactions lately exposed, or any knowledge of the circum-
stances of the for genes, but his solicitors have directed thai no
communication shall be had with hint upon thesubject ist hispre
senteondition. There can be no doubt but that the Recorder went
to the Council- on Saturday, prepared to present the reports of
SePtembar and (MOW. Sessions anti that it was certainly in-
tended that both of them should-be discussed and decided on;
the postponement of the latter Sessions is said to have been oc-
casioned by the circumstance of its being the desire of the legal
advisers of Mr. Fauntleroy to obtain a writ of error, in order to
bring the case before the Judges, which cannot be done without
the consent of the Attorney-General • and that learned person
not.ha,iing determined whether he :hould give such consent,
It appeara to have been deemed expedient that the deliberation
of the Privy Council should be deferred for a few days. It is
"
understood that the point.on which the opinion of the Judges is
to be taken relates to the term " deed
as applying to the
powers of uttorney-4

CORRESPONDENCE
lETNITEEN MR. HALL AND MR. LONGLANDS.

(Corms.) Russell-squarei Nov. 16,1824.
Sin—My attention has this day been drawn to the following
paragraph in your pamphlet entitledA Review of the Ware-
housing System, page 29; viz.—" In a pamphlet upon the
Warehousing System and. `Navigation Laws, by John Hall,
Escj. from which the foregoing passages are extracted, and in
which the Author seems to claim the merit of the Right Hon.
Gentleman's suggestions."
Having no knowledge of any passage in that little work
which will warrant. such an inference, and disclaiming any in-
tention of the kind imputed to me, I will feel obliged by your
pointing out to me the paragraph ich is considered as justi-
fying the conclusion you have drawn.
I remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
H. Longlands, Esq. JOHN HALL.
Westminster, Nov. 17, 1824.
Sin--I am to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yes-,
terdey's date, in which you advert to a paragraph in my
pamphlet as to, your seeming to claim the merit of certain
suggestions, and disclaim any such intention. As you state
that you would feel obliged by my pointing out any paragraph
in your own pamphlet which I consider as justifying the con-
clusion I have drawn, I beg to say, that the impression was
made upon my mind by the general tenor of your book, in
which you proposed the adoption of certain regulations of
nearly the same nature as those suggested by the Right Hon.
`l'. Wallace in his previous speech. Both the pamphlets are
before the Public, with whom it must rest to determine whe-
ther my conclusions are corrector not.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
John Hall, Esq. H. LONGLANDS.
Russell-sqaure, Nov. 17, 1824.
Sin—l have just received your letter of this date, offering as
a justification for the paragraph in your pamphlet which im-
putes to me Ft seeming desire to claim the merit of Mr. Wallace's
suggestions in respect to the Warehousing Syttibm, the impres-
sion made upon your mind by the general tenour of my pamphlet
published in 11121, in which I proposed the adoption of certain
regulations which you state to be nearly of the same nature as
those suggested by the Right Hen. Gentleman.
After the avowal made in the introduction to your pamphlet,
" that your attention has necessarily been much directed to
the authorities and opinions illustrative of the principles upon
which the Warehousing System is established," and having
further intimated your familiar acquaintance with the proceed-
ings before Parliamentary Committees upon this interestiiv
subject, it is extraordinary you should have overlooked. that my
pamphlet was a mere recapitulation of the evidence delivered by
me before a Committee of the House of Commons in 1820 and
1021, previous to the speech in question, of which you ought
not to have been ignorant, you having quoted a portion of that
evidence in the 33d page of your work in proof of the advan-
tages which walled docks offer to the public, and afford to the
Revenue over open quays and wharfs for landing, &c. and
Housing of goods.
I Under these circumstances, I cannot rest satisfied to leave it

in the manner you propose, to be determined by the public
whether your conclusions are correct or not, as my pamphlet has
been a considerable time out of print ;_ and it appearing also to
me that you have most unnecessarily deviated from the avowed
purposes of your publication to introduce an unwarrantable as-
sumption. It has now for the first time been insinuated that in
the gratuitons and disinterested efforts I have made towards
promoting the commercial interests of the country, I hrive ex-
hibited a desire to claim the moit of the suggestions of others.
I ask of you a distinct disavowal 'of the offensive sense of the
paragraph alluded to, and an acknowledgment of the error into
Which I am willing to believe you have unintentionally fallen.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
H. Longlancls, Esq. JOHN HA LI..
Westminster, Nov. 18, 1024.
Srn-1 have received your letter in reply to mine of yester-
day's date, and am surprised at the light in which you view it ;
I did not use the words you quote ; the interpretation of them
is yours, not mine, and therefore it is altogether impossible that
I should have meant any thing offensive, or that I should jus-
tify that which was altogether foreign from my intention. All
I meant to express in the paragraph in my pamphlet was, that
you claimed the merit of certain suggestions, not saying whether
justly or otherwise : all that I intended to admit in my letter
(although I used the words " previous speech" which may
have mis-led you)was, that it was from the general tenour of
your book, and not from any particular paragraph I drew the
concluion.
_ _

..... .
. When I wrote the paragraph I referred to your publication,
and not to your previous evidence, with which 1 certainly was
acquainted. 1 considered, and if you had not disavowed any
such intention in your letter of the 16th, should still consider,
the very act of your having published your opinions (whether
previously given in evidence or not) as laying claim to what-
ever merit might belong to them. After this eXplanation on
my part, I must conclude with expressing my determination to
pursue the subject no further, and my request that the cor-
respondence may now terminate.
I remain, Sir
Your obedient humble servant,
John Hall, Esq. 11. LONGLANDS.
Russell-square, 10th November, 1624.
Sig—After the assurance contained in your letter of this day
that nothing offensive was intended, I have no desire to prolong
the correspondence; but 1 cannot concludowithout adding, that
the words of the paragraph quoted by me were verbatim the
same which appeared in your pamphlet, and the interpretation
put upon them by me, such as your readers in the absence of
any explanation would adopt; although you do not appear to
distinguish the difference that exists between the mere publica-
tion of opinions and the laying claim to the merit which might
belong to the suggestions of others. Considering the donative
circulation your pamphlet has received, I think it right to ap-
prise you that I may. deem it right to give publicity to what
has passed. I. remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
H. Longlands, Esq. JOHN HALL.

As the two Gentlemen whose recent correspondence we
have above inserted are well-known and highly respected in the
commercial world; however they may differ on certain points,
we deem it proper to insert their letters, particularly as the
matter has been adjusted to the credit of both parties.

CONDEMNED' SEILMON.-Yestprday morning a
sermon was preached in the Chapel .of Newgate, by the Rev.
11r. Cotton, in consequence of the approaching execution of
'Joseph Harwood on Thursday next. During the whole of
saturday, the most persevering endeavours were made to
obtain a ticket for admission to the Chapel, as it was then
expected that the fate of Mr. Henry Feuntleroy would
have been decided. A great number made application to Mr.
Wontncr, the governor, but that gentleman gave a direct re-
fated, even to his own friends, and referred them to the Sherifill,
as the only mediuth through which their wishes were likely to
be gratified. It was stated that the worthy Sheriffs had issued
more orders than would fill the gallery, 'hence, on Sunday
morning, before the commencement of service, even the turn-
keys were precluded from admitting a friend. It turned out,
however, that very few orders were presented, therefore a num-
ber of the public were admitted, so that the north gallery was
crowded ; but it was quite evident that, owing to the absence of
Mr. Faunderoy, several of them were much disappointed, as to
them he was the point of attraction rather than the commisera-
tion of the fate of the unfortunate youth before them, who
was soon to expiate his crimes by the forfeiture of his life. The
lower part, and southern gallery of the chapel, were completely
crowded with prisoners. The Reverend Ordinary delivered an
appropriate discourse from the book of Job, chap. xix. ver. 21,
" Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, 01 ye, my friends,
for the hand of the Lord bath touched me." The Reverend
Divine directed his discourse to the prisoner in the most pa-
thetic manner, and lamented to see one in the bloom of youth
then- about to be cut off in the midst of his years.. Poor
youth," said he, " I pity you from my very *soul." He then
exhorted him to look up to that Divine goodness, who had
pity in store for the truly penitent believer. In conclusion, the
Rev. Ordinary addressed himself to the respites, and exhorted
them, who so lately had the prospect of a speedy dissolution
before them, to be grateful to him who had " redeemed them
from death, and enabled • them to walk in the land of the
living." He also, in forcible language, exhorted the spectators
to take warning by the unhappy fate of the young man before
them, and remember that it was only the restraining hand of
God which made them differ. He hoped that while they ab-
horred the crime, and endeavoured to avoid sinful practice,
they would hearken to the. plaintive request contained in the
text, and pity the offender. At the conclusion of : the service
the unhappy youth appeared in a most exhausted condition,
but he soon recovered through the assistance of restoratives,
and was enabled to retire to the cells, where he was immediately
attended by both the Sheriff's, and who had been present at the
solemn service. He expressed himself as perfectly resigned to
his impending fate, and said he would prefer death to a relapse
into his former dissolute habits of life. The worthy Sheriff's
have made every inquiry relative to his case, but nothing
appeared calculated to invalidate the evidence adduced on the

ANOTIIEa MAN SUOT BY A SPRING-GUN.-011
Monday an accident happened at Gate Wood, near Cantley.
In the absence; of the game-keeper, an assistant was left to
feed the pheasants, when, unfortunately treading on the wire
attached to a spring-gun, it went off', and the poor man re.
ceived the contents in his legs. and thighs. Though severely
wounded, we understand he is in a fair way of recovery.—(Don.
