IMPORTANT TO STAGE-COACHMEN.

T o —Yesterday Thomas Al urfall, proprietor of
the Kennington Stage-coach, appeared at this office before the
Presiding Alderman, J. J. Smia. it, Esq. charged with a breach
of the Act for regulating Stage-coaches.
Champney, an informer, stated that on Friday the 27th of
December, he saw driving through the Borough the stage-coach
No. 4453, of which thedefendant is proprietor, with the figures
6 passengers inside and 7 outside written on it, whereas the Act
for regulating stage-coaches imperatively requires that the num-
ber of passengers which the coach is licensed to carry shall not
be written in figures, but in words at full length.
Mr. Murford, in,his defence, said he was quite unaware that
the Act was so very strict in that particular, or he should have
certainly complied with it, as it made no difference to him whe-
ther the number were written in figures or at length ; he would,
however, bovi to the decision of the worthy Magistrate, and
should have the mistake immediately corrected,
The MAGISTRATE said he was bound to convict him in the
penalty of 60s. as the Act directed; but that all these mis-
takes might be avoided, if stage-coachmen would only take the
trouble of referring to the Act of Parliament.
Mr. Murford immediately paid the penalty, half of which
goes to the informer, and the other half to the King.

INCITING SERVANTS TO ROB.

GUILDHALL—Wm. Dalton, the person who stands charged
with having incited one of the servants of Messrs. Browning
and Co., distillers, to rob his employers, yesterday underwent
a final examination.
Some evidence was offered in coroboration of the testimony
adduced at the former examination, but no new fact was stato.l.
Mr. Ilaitsma said he had evidence to contradict, most wa.
terially, the statement for the prosecution ; and also to prove
that the prisoner had borne the best character for the last 2a
years, if it were allowed to be produced.
Alderman Cox said, it would be for the Jury to try the cre-
dibility of the testimony, which, he thought, was such as ren-
dered it imperative upon him to send the prisoner to take his
trial. The prisoner was then fully committed, and the parties
bound over to prosecute.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 7.

The honout and felicity with which the blooming progenies
of Nobility derived from the Palace entertainment of last night,
have afforded ample food for grateful animadversions in the
higher circles to-day. The carving of the twelfth cake in the
Rotunda .or Saloon, and the enlivening dance before and after
that period, are dwelt upon with peculiar interest; and the sa-
tisfaction with which the SOViIItEIGX, the Royal Duke and
Duchess, and the adults of the important assemblage, reviewed
the sportive process of the exhilirating scene, may occasion the
subject to be often adverted to for many weeks to come. The
Countess Lieven, owing to sudden 'indisposition, retired early
from the Palace entertainment last night ; but we have the
pleasure to add, that her Ladyship found 'herself quite re-
covered this morning, and has since had the honour, the only
invitee, of dining at the Palace to-day—The Duke and Duchess
of Clarence; arm-in-arm, enjoyed a Cliff and Steyne walk this
morning; in consequence, though the weather was hazy, all
the world of fashion nearly was abroad. The Earl and Coun-
tess of Harcourt took leave, and left the Pavilion for London
this morning. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, it is said,
will take leave of his Majesty, and return to London to-morrow.
The Duke of Dorset, it is also expected, will beincluded in the
list of Palace departures to-morrow.

RESURRECTION MEN.

It will be recollected that a Mr. Dickenson's
account of the disinterment and discovery of his father's corpse
appeared a short time since in this Paper ; and yesterday John
Smith, an inhabitant of Beckenham, in Kent, .lames
nold, the parish clerk, and Elizabeth, his ..wife, were in at-
tendance at Union-Uall before the sitting Magistrates, in con-
segtience of summonses that were .issued on the application of
Mr. Dickenson.

Mr. Dickenson stated, that whilst the gravedigger was re.
moving the earth from the grave, Mr. Arnold took him by the
arm, and led him a short distance from the grave. He then
addressed him in the following words Mr. Dickenson,
don't have the grave opened any further, and then no one will
know any thing about it." Witness replied, " bow can I con-
ceal it, now it has gone an far ?” anti persisted in the grave
being opened. Mrs. Arnold, his wife, called upon his mo-
ther in a day or two after, and treated the business with a deal
ofindifference, saying it was no more than neighbour's fare,
and that had her husband been well, it would not have
,hap.
pei2ed.

Mr. Arnold denied saying any thing to Mr. Dickenson to in.
duce him not to open the grave, nor did he authorize his wife
to say whit she. did.
Mr. Dickenson—l am on my oath, and I have spoken nothing
but the truth.
The Magistrate asked if any person was present that heard
Mrs. Arnold speak to' the mother of Mr. Thckenson as he had
stated. • .

Mr. Dickenson replied in the negative.
Mr. ALLEN said, in his opinion there was great suspicion at-
tached to Mr. Arnold's reluctance to have the grave opened,
and that being coupled with the observations of his wife to Mrs.
Dickenson, made suspicion still stronger.
The suspicion against Smith was, that on the Thursday pre-
vious to the robbery 'he was fighting at the George public-
house, at Beckenham, and u man that olficiate4 as his second
corresponded with one of the men seen in the cart, On apply-
big to Smith's wife, she said the man was a helper in the stables
pf the Alarquis of ‘Vinchelsea, to whom her husband's cousin
Was coachman, and that he had come down to him with a
message from hini. Smith was from home at the time, and
when he was questioned he denied all knowledge of the man.
Smith explained himself in a manner that induced the Ma-
gistrate to dismiss the sunnnons against him ; but they ex-
pressed their suspicion against the Clerk, and advised Mr.
Dickenson to indict him for a misdemeanor at the Sessions.
Mr. Dickenson signified his intention so to do, and the parties
left the office.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND ?AIRS

DUKINe TI LIST WEEK.

LITKRPOOL CORN EXCIIANOr, Dec. 16.
The import this week has been more considerable, than that
of the last. It consists generally of New Grain from Ireland;
still It is moderate compared with the receipts of former years,
at this season. Since last Tuesday there has been a good de-
mand for "Wheat and Oats,. and they have, in consequence,
progressively risen. The dmand continued at to-day's mar-
ket, and speculators eagerly bought Old Irish Wheat, of mid-
dling quality, at full fid, per bushel more than could have been
obtained for it on this day se'nnight, the finer sorts fetched more,
and New about the same. All descriptions of Oats were
ready sale, and 2d.- to 3d.

SALT. MINES TN FRANCE.

Last Monday M. Chaptal, in ,•the name of 3
committee, rnaae a report to the Academy of
Sciences, on the rock salt of the mine discorerej
in iNlay, 1820, at Vic, in the department of the
Nleurthe. There are four sorts, white, half white,
gray, and red. The whole is perfectly. Pure
and peculiarly fit for the table. The half-while
and the gray contain some extraneous substanceir
but in less quantity than sea salt, so that they
may be used without danger. Even the red.ing
be used without inconvenience,
being purer 00
common salt. Vic
A valuable quality of the mineral !Alt of
is, that it is not deliquescent, or that it does 'Doi
attract the humidity of the atmosphere, whi`tl
gives the consumer an advantage of 10 per curls
In short, the use of the salt of Vic in the The
and agriculture will be very advatitageoni•
mine occupies an extent of above 30 sq",.
leagues, and its thickness is such that it may."
worked forseveral thousand years without

BAYONNE PAPERS.

BATONNTR, DEC. 1 extraordinary courier,
who arrived here yesterday, brought very distressing.news re-
specting the spirit of discord which prevails in La Mancha and
Estremedura. Very sanguinary, scenes took place at Grenada
on the 3d and 4th of this month, in which, say these accounts,
120 of the Constitutional party were Massacred by banditti, who
call themselves Royalists. An event so deplorable seems to
prove, that the tranquillity and pacification of Spain are not
so secure as many persons flatter themselves. The Ist Regi
ment of Hussars arrived here yesterday; it is one of those
which have suffered the most, having been exposed in an
favourable position, where only the prompt arrival of the infest:.
try laved it from destruction. The Sth Regiment of Hussar.
is expected to-snorrow. General Valin is still here. Pris
vote letters from Gallicia say, that the state of that Province i-
not favourable to the Royalists; it is still without a Captains
General, no person being willing to take upon himself so diffi-
cult a task as the Government of it is likely to prove. In the
province of Santander, the Liberals are so strong, that they have
obtained from the King the re-establishment of the Munici-
pality of 1820, in spite of the opposition of, the Clergy and
the remonstrances made by General loyalists, The oyalists, it
is said, will quit the country if this resolution is carried into
effect. Don Victor Suez was not present at the grand dinner on
the Queen's Birth-day; and has refused the Bishopric of Tor-
tosa ; he has gone to Toledo much dissatisfied with the King.
The Grand Inquisitor was expected at Madridon the Bth. We
have just received letters from Madrid of the 7th and Bth.
There is no Gazette of these days, and the Restaurador con-
tains only Decrees which We have already seen, besides a vio-
lent attack on the Conteltationnel of . Paris, which it calls a
Libel, and is angry that there shoUld appear in Europe jour-
nals which propagate error, so as to trouble the public tran-
quillity; it would have silence imposed on these Jacobins .to
prevent them from making proselytes. The number of ecele-
siaatice of all descriptions who came to Madrid to ask recom,
ponces for their services fa so great, and so little can be done
for them, that it is said they will all be sent to their own houses.
The accounts received at Madrid from the Provinces are far
from being so satisfactory as might be wished. The more vio-
lent Royalists saythat things cannot long go on so, and blame
the Government for not being severe enough. What WWI re-
ported of the publication of an amnesty has not been confirm-
ed, and it even appears that there will not be any.
London, England, 1823-12-22

[MORNING I'OSTI

French Papers to the Wth. Inst. reached us

last night by Express. Their contents are not
of much importance ; unless it shoold be deemed
a matter of consequence that as a reward for the
temporary overthrow of constitutional liberty in
Spain, the Emperor of Austria has bestowed up-
on the 'Duke d'Angonletne the Cross of Maria
Theresa, which he lately took back from Sir It.
Wilson. The Hero of the Trocadero must now
mind how he nets in his own country ; for
should he be so rash as to support ~.he
French Charter whist the attacks of the
I...Titres and the encroachments of Despotism,
he may chance to incur the displeasure of his Im-
perial Patron and the double mortification of
being gaxetted as an unworthy Knight, and of
having to return the glittering badge with which
he is now invested, for the use of some new
abettor or national slavery. it is not even cer-
tain whether the French Monarch may not have
exposed himself to a mercuriale from his brethren
of theifoly Alliance. For instead of treating
the assassination of, young Honein by a sentinel
on the day of the Duke's triumphal entry into
Paris, us the King of Prussia tells his subjects
as a Cabinet Order he would do, should they
be shot by the Police when crowding to witness
the fetes which he gives thew, the Half-revolu-
tionary Louis has granted a pension of n thou•
sand francs out of the Civil List to the father of
the murdered youth. This act of commiseration
is even to be followed by one of justice—the
trial of. the assassin : and what cannot fail to
prove still more offensive to dot, Allied Tri-
bunal, this conduct is extolled by the French
Papers, as shewing 44 the delicate and elevated
soul of the Monarch." So much feeling for the
sacrifice of an innocent life will be regarded as
an undue concession to popular prejudices, and
though it may not be now quite safe or possible
to discard Louis altogether out of the Alliance,
he will probably be considered in future as a
"faux frere" in whom no confidence ought to be
placed.

TRASSLAVON of the 9th ODE of ANACREON.

TIIE DOVE.

Whither, lovely carrier say,
Whither fly so swift away ?
Tell, to whom thy,downy plumes,
.Waft so exquisiteperfumes?
Do thy chytnic wings prepare
Sweets that fill the ambient air ?
Pert inquirer tcoos the Dove),
Bearer of Anacreon's love,
I my master's am'rous lay
To Bathyllus loved convey ;--
Bathyllus, whoie unrivalled charms,
Fill each niaid with love's alarms.
Venus for the Poet's lays,
(In the beauteons Goddess' praiie)
Scarcely plumed, her willing bird,
On Anacreon conferr'd;
Happy as Anacreon's slave,
I no proffered freedom crave;
Better far for me to share,
Kind Anacreon's pleasing fare;
In secure and peaceful home,
Than abroad for food to roam :.
Sweeter to sink to soft repose,
'Midst the fragrance of the rose;
Than on homely berriel fed,
In wild woods to make my bed:
As. A nacreon's envoy, 1
Feel no want of liberty :
Oft rich Cretan wines I sip,
From my master's honied, lip;
Or while at hie board I stand,
Feed delighted from his hand,
And upon his throbbing breast,
Sink 'midst softest sounds to rest;
lint no longer let me prate,
Of my happy envied state,
Lest my friend you laughing soy
I'm become a Chatering jay.

THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—A Trip to Scarborough was
represented again last night, and Mr. Baows
confirmed the favourable impression which he
made on his first appearance in Lord Foppington,
and received great applause during the whole of
his performance. Miss S. BOOTH also, by her
very spirited representation of Miss lio,liden, was
not less successful, and fully justified her high
reputation as a comic actresS.

PRINCE II0IIENL0111: NOT IV ANTE9.---This il-
lustrious miracle-monger will derive no additional
reputation from the Axminster cases mentioned in
our last ; the fair sufferer has recovered without
him. The fact was as we stated. The young
lady, Miss Eames, was suddenly deprived of
speech, by the terror excited by the assertion
made in jest by her companion, that a spider was
crawling upon her. A. loud and instantaneous
scream ensued, which was immediately fol-
lowed by a total cessation of the faculty of
speech for four mouths. It is now about three
weeks since that Miss Eames recovered.---

C ALTA PAGOS MUTTON.—Mr. SYKES, keeper of
the New York Coffee-house, has two land tor.
toises, brought from one of the Gallipagos Islands,
in the Pacific Ocean, by a whale ship, lately ar.
rived at Stonington. Captain Porter speaks
of these animals, in his journal, as being found
in great abundance ; that they are remark•
able for their size, and highly esteemed as
furnishing an excellent food. His men ate them
with great relish, and would not abate their ex-
•ertions till they had procured several hundreds,
weighing frau, 50 to 100 pounds, which they car'
vied on their backs to the shore, from three to four
miles, through thorns and over sharp rocks. The
sailors called the meat Gallipagos mutton. Capt.
Porter mentions one which was found brull;if vsivz:
measuring 54- feet long, four feet and a
and three. feet' thick ; and he observes that
they have been known to live for a year in the
hold of a. vessel, without food or water, and when
killed, strange as it may seem, were found to be
greatly improved in fatness and flavour. If this
l:e true, we should recommend Mr. Sykes not to
abandon his design ,of sending the two in his pos..
session into the country to fatten on vegetables,
rept a tory to serving them up for the epicures. ,

" We have already spoken of the arrest of Ur.-
nien PAarto.r,. who, in the pamphlet called The
RevolutionarN Intrigues in Switzerland, is stated
to be an agent of France, sent to excite dissen-
sions in Switzerland. This was a welcome op-
portunity for the factions to accuse governments
of intrigues of which themselves alone are ca.
pahle.---Tinhappily for them, PAnnoT had been
brought to trial before the tribunal of the First
Instance, at Colmar, and condemned to five
years imprisonment as a swindler. It appears
from the proceedings, that P.lnuoT had promised,
tattler the name of MuLLEIII to make important
disclosures ; and, in hopes of obtaining money,
bad forged Proclamations, which he attributed to
well-known persons. 7le talked also of a despot
of tri-coloured cockades, of an intended insurrec-
tion, &c., but the Authorities saw through his
intrigues."

THE ARMY.

MILITARY RIFLE PRACTICE.
A detachment of the Y-agers of the Ifon. Ar-
tillery Company has received orders to proceed
on Wednesday the 15th inst., to the New Practice
Ground at Woolwich, for the purpose of she‘t ing
the effect of rifle-shooting,both as regards precision
and celerity; which 'we have been informed is in-
tended to be done in the following manner :—An
equal number of men, all experienced shots, will
be stationed at '250 and 200 yards from a target
occupying about the space of nine men in line. As
soon as the men have taken their ground, the
signal to fire will be given ; the firing will con-
tinue exactly thirty minutes. The target will
then be inspected by the Officers present, and a
fac-simile taken of it in order to its being en-
graved and presented, in the first instance,
to his Majesty, the Captain-General of the
corps, and to the Field Officers. The rifle,
as to precision, has ever since its introduction
as a weapon of warfare, been allowed by mili-
tary men to be greatly superior to all other small
arms. • To unite celerity with precision in the
use of this arm, is the desired object of all rifle
service, and nothing but constant practice in all
weathers, in different situations, and at all dis-
tances, within the power of certain execution,
and with superior arms, made upon scientific
principles, will enable any troops to attain this
object. Whether this degree of perfection has
been attained by the riflemen of the llon..Ar
tillery Company, the public trial, which is abou
to take place, will shew.

DUBLIN, OCT. 7.—The heatl.quartgrs' division of the 93d

The Sports of the field -is theless difficult part of bagging,
and pigeon shooting is the most difficult, as the partridge in ge-
neral fulls within twenty-one yards from the gun, whereas the
pigeon takes wing in uncertain flight,' at twenty-one yards
from the tun. Sparrow shooting has been touch practised this
season, which to an expert shot is the least difficult of the
three. The match we are about to record is altogether a mas-
terpiece of shooting. A friend of Mr. ArrowsMith's made a
match on Tuesday for Mr.-A, to kill lit sparrows from 24. at
sixteen yards'from the trap, for a friendly sum of money. The
match took place in Ilford meadows, and Mr. Arrowsinith
killed 18 birds in succession, winning the match without let.
ting the other six loose. To shooters WO submit a list of the
birds Mr. A. has before killed :

in Cheapside. On a subsequent day, having oc-

Holborn, while conversing in the shop .a woman
came in and offered a handkerchief for pledge ;
when on looking round he perceived it was the
identical one he bad lost. The woman, being
questioned respecting how she came by it, quickly
decamped, leaving him in possession of it.

'mence on the SOth. The occurrences of the
29th and 30th are still involved in obscurity,—

If we were to venture on any conjecture re-
specting them, we should say it was probable
That the Militia in the Ise of Leon, who were
among the most frantic of the Revolutionary
faction, hastened back into the town, and in
spite of the dissolution of the Cortes, pre.
vented the King by force from going out of
the gates.`Whether the French actually at-
tacked on
'the 30th, or merely put themselves
in motion rot that purpose, we know not : pro-
bably the latter ; for the appearance of a force
without ready to make the ussatilt, while there
was so much confusion and disorganisation within
the walls, may have been enough to dispose the
stoutest Revolutionist to yield. Be this as it
may, the obstacle, whatever it was, on the 26th,
to the King's liberation, was wholly removed on'
the Ist, and the captivity which he has endured'
ever since the 7th of July, 1822,-was at length
terminated.

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]
STOCK EXCIIANGE, Half past Twelve o'Clock.—
W e have no price of the French Funds this morn-
ing, on account of the Sunday at Paris, but it is re.
ported that private letters were in town this morn.
iris; of the above day, which state that great dis-
content prevails in the French Capital, also at
Lyous and ,Bordeaux, which has given the French
Ministry some uneasiness. It is well known that
most of the great commercial' cities in France
are decidedly against a Spanish War. Consols
opened this morning at 731 +, at which price
they are at this hour, with little or no busi.
ness doing.—ln private accounts from Madrid,
it is stated, that final operations will not be ready'
until the middle of April, when the Spaniards ex
pect to have 200,000 men in the field, with 50
Guerilla Chiefs, who are each to command a band;
and in case of an invasion by the French, which
is expected at Madrid almost to a certainty, they
will be joined by MINAIi troops, and enter the
French territory. We understand that a great
Spanish Grandee (now in this country,) has al-
ready given instructions in case of an invasion by
the Freud), not to leave a stick standing on his
Estates in Spain, as the Spaniards are determined
as the French advance, to destroy every thing
in the progress.

Fottriort ARK ET.--tn the earlier part of the
morning Spanish Bonds were on the rise, with a
brisk Market, since which they have declined,
opened at 34, fellAo 294.

Last night, in the House of Commons, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward
his Resolutions for assigning five millions annually
for the redemption of the National Debt, and
for placing the Sinking Fund under new and im-
proved arrangements. The Resolutions were all
adopted by the house.
Leave was given to bring in a Bill for amend
lug the Act against combinations for raising
wages, which we hope will lead to the repeal of
all those features of the present Combination
Laws that prevent the working classes from re-
sorting to any peaceable means of improving the
value of their labour. We have always thought
that the present Act is unjust in principle ; and
viewing industry, or labour, as the property of its
possessors, it is evident that it is placed under se-
vere penal restrictions from which all. Other pro-
perty is exempt. it is moreover the true interest of
all classes, and a wise and beneficial policy for the
State, that labour should be liberally remune-
rated. The country requires enlarged markets
for productions of all kinds, or a facility of
consumption adequate to its prodigious powers
of production ; and every advance of wages,
therefore, by directly bringing an increased
amount of wealth into circulation, would be
found equally advantageous for the labourer, the
landowner, the manufacturer, the capitalist, and
the revenue,
