THE CROWN, AT GREAT CHESTERFORD,
Within Sixteen Mites of Newmarket, a first-rate Hotel and
Posting Establishment.
'VER. W. W. SIMPSON has received in-
structions front the Proprietor, (who is retiring froin
business on account of ill health) to SELL by AUCTION, at
the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, October 26, 1841, unless an
acceptable offer be previously made by private Contract.
An excedingly valuable and desirable FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY, distinguished as the Crown Hotel, and Posting.
house, eligibly situated at Great Chesterfurd, in the county of
Essex, on the high road to Newmarket, 43 miles from Lon-
don, four miles from Saffron Walden, and. eleven miles from
Cambridge. The celebrity of this Hofise which, for the last
half century, has been resorted to by the nobility and higher
classes of society, renders it almost superfluous to state that the
internal arrangements are adapted to the entertainment of the
most distinguished guests. The Posting department is of a
most profitable description, and nothing can exceed the com-
pleteness of the Stabling, and Coach-houses. There are
four daily coaches, horsed by the proprietor of this
house, and the coaching business might be advantageously
increased. Attached to the house is a large and productive
walled kitchen garden, farm, and stable yards, &c., &c., and
on the opposite side of the road is a beautiful lawn and plan-
tation. There is a well-frequented tap, and a compact brew-
house attached to the concern, from which several houses are
supplied, and there is a great facility for extending the sale of
beer in the neighbourhood. Half. of the purchase money may

FAOII THE MOILNINA RAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TINES.—From the -firsts day of M`Leod'e apprehene
sion . his country's interposition on his behalf has peo-
e-eeded on an entire disregard-either of hi& guilt or
innocence. 7 The whole. responsibility of his condues,
ehether he took pertain destroying the Caroline or in
slaying any of her crew, has been aeStimed unreservedly
*).y Britain, without acknowledging or denying his
tgestcy in any shape whatever. Even if he haJ actually
tailed Durfee, the demand fur his release was rightfully
-insisted on,, just the same as HIM could prove an alibi.
Neither must his certain acquittal be attributed to any
exculpatory protestation which the prisoner's natural
:ears may have laid before his counsel, or to any extra-
erdinary exertions of that counsel in rebutting the evi-
dence against. him. Of course every excuse is to be made
foreM-Leod in having done his utmost to save his endan-
gered life. But on purely public grounds, it is much to be
regretted that his- moral courage did not embolden him to
refuse to plead to the. indictmentat all. But since he has
consented to accept the legal assistance provided for
him by his sham prosecutors, the counsel so appointed,
we must.recollect, is American counsel, who maybe ex-
pected to effect his extrication with the least possible
odium to the nation which employs him. An eloborate
defence is, therefore, got up, where no defence at ail was
necessary : hosts of witnesses are summoned for the pri-
soner, who Might properly, and we will acs safely, have
refused to call them ; and the American management of
11.Leesd'el*reetseta..w144 he hat:submitted, is. thus a•
.party to the great Peepnblican.intrigno, whiel,;.Wldl6-prees
tending to cloak itself under the ferms of law, has really
determined,hY all sorts of pitiful connivances, to prevent
a condemnatory verdict, whose consequences are notori-
ously dreaded by those who affect to.brave them. .in a•
word, the humiliating position which the chivalrous Re-
publicans, havo assumed in reference to APLeod's case,
involves the twofold necessitye-that he must ba .
tried as a nominal solace to American vanity, and
that he must be acquitted as an indispensable de-
precation of British vengeance. Accordingly, the
grand ferensic farce announced for performance at Utica
on the 4th inst. has been got up, with fully as much
care as is usually bestowed in bringing out a Christmas
pantomime ' • and at the rehearsals which had been prac-
tised beforehand, every precaution was taken to insure
its perfect success. Thus, Mr.. Wells, the owner of the
Caroline, who was Volleyed to be completely cognizant
of M`Leoil's guilt, is so conscientious as to be unable to
swear that he ever saw him. Not a single American,
strange to tell, can be found to prove that he ever
boarded the Caroline's deck, or had been seen in col-
lision
with a single individual •of her crew. Not a
plausible presiimption of his alleged delinquency can
now be produced. TMs, indeed, is at length acknow-
ledged by the AMerican papers ; yet the farce was to be
proceeded with, nevertheless ; nay, it .is actually to
have a run of twelve or fourteen days, and will then be
terminated amidst the 'scoffings of
.universal. Europe.
No man can read the New York papers without seeing
that such is its predetermined issue.
ADVERTISEIL—The news from the United States
is of the deepest and most alarming character. Not only
is 'public suspense still Unalleviated on the score of
AP-Leod's trial, but a fresh cause of apprehension has
arisen in the capturing of an American citizen by a party
of armed British soldiers. Here is an outrage of the
nature of that of which we are (*selves demanding
apology and reparation from America. Here is a position
assumed the very parallel of. that at which England has
so justly taken umbrage. It is a case in which the Go-
vernment must act speedily, and with a spirit proper to
the crisis ; not with a low and vulgar animus, as of one
incapable. of truthful avowal, but with a .hold aad gene-
rous purpose to stay the course of increasing animosity
between this country and America, if ardent endea-
vour cant, and with a melee to prevent, if timely
acknowledgment of regret, and application of means as
guarantee for non-repetition of events of so direful a
signification can prevent-sin the first place, -an evil of
such inherent affliction as a border war, and in the second
place, calamity of such overwhelming consequences as
that in which a border war would necessarily terminate.
Than the fact in itself of the Grogan affair, we know of
nothing so completely derogatory to British dignity;-and
even if there were little of mean and malicious.demen-
stration of motives in reference to the conduct of our
colonists, yet the step confined to apolitical sense is as
impolitic and oppose& to a just appreciation of England's
interests and self-respect as any which could have sul-
lied the British name upwards of fifty years since. In
fact the whole picture carries the mind back to periods of
the darkest barbarism and bloodshed. •
- CHRONICLE—Lord Stanley is allowed to be the
-best debater of the piesent Tory: Ministry ; he is classed.
.next after Sir Robert Peel in importance as a Minister,
..and bee a 'large-section- of the Tories'wee openly pre•
(erred to. the Premier, and the wilf:U4 of'the mkt. cold
nial empire of this-country is -conaniitted to' his care. 'ls
it possible that-Lord Stanley could be so ignorant as .to
believe that a single Government. 4-Rues:a of no great
extent, could produce thirty-.eight. millions of quiieters ?
But those who do not believe that hemade the statement
in sheer ignorance; pay a wretched compliment to his
honesty. We give -his
,admirers the option :of prononnc,
jug him either egregiously ignoranti or egregiously men-
dacious ; one or the' other must' be. We had. inia-
-iined that a -love.of truth -Was charactefistic of en -Ewe-
lisli nobleman..: Arrogant we have' sometimes heard
them termed ; selfish . they .thuet be, •as all men cor-
rupted by indulgence necessarily are ; „ but the meats
-
ness which can seek 'to compass a petty object by'
Mendacity, we never supposed theni to- possess. And
vet, if Lord Stanley did not state 'what he- knew to be
false, for the purpose of deceiving, the electors of North
Lancashire, that Noble Lord deseries to be held- up- to
England and to Europe as a man so ignorant, that.the
loWest hedge schoolmaster' of Ireland would blush to be
placedOn a level with.. him.- _And are the English, then,
one of the most intelligent, if not the most
of the nations of Europe, and yet can find no other man
to place at the head of their colonial administration,
:than 'a nobleman who could, in a speech which he knew
would circulate over all the empire, utter. the absurd
• statement, for popular effect, that one of the numerous
Governments of ltusiia—it- GoVernmente too, of limited.
extent-_--actually produced. in one year thirty-eight mil-
elions of quarters of grain ! Wherever. Lord Stanley
shows his face he ought to be met with this Tamboof
statement. To repeat such a statement ought to cover
any British nobleman with disgrace -.but more than dis-
:grace ought to bo the. portion of the man vt ho_ has as-
pired to a leading place in the councils of his Sovereign.
HERALI).—It will be seen that the trial of M'Leod
etood at the date of our last lettera(the 2d October)- for
--Ale 4th. But it Was far froth improbable -that it might
ant come on for hearing even then, on the grounds anti-'
mated by his counsel in founding his application fOr
delay on the hearing, at the Circuit Court of .Utica e of
tlie 27th inst. We can also state upon the authority of.
a highly respectable informant, whose letter is dated from
New. York, that in that city the belief is gaining- ground
daily that M'Leod was not likely 'to be tried at this as-
sizes at all : but that it would be found' necessary to. al-
low his important case to stand over to the ensuingTerme
The expectation of his final acquittal, all our letters
agree in representing as extremely general among all
parties ; and it is gratifying to us, to add that we are
disposed to concur in that 'expectation. That atrocious
design •of the " Patriots" to which we. havo just
alluded seems to confirm the reasonableness 'of -this
general belief. The same impression derives further
importance from another incident, (fearful .though it
be) connected.with the Yankee practice of supplement-
ing -the truth—eliciting forms of regular courts of
justice, and the tardy decisions of the solemnly con-
stituted tribunals of a State, by those -summary visita-
tions of popsilar or powerful factions, which,. identical
in principle, have yet obtained three distinctive
epithets in as many countries. In Britain we call them
" mob. law ;" in Ireland, they term them " club-
law ;" iu the United States they comprise the
" Lynch-law." In our House of Commons, among
that Whig-Radical section known as the " Tail " and
the "Repeaters," the same sort of .thing passes under the
much more poetical and figurative designation Of " the
wild justice of revenge." A formidable secret society--a species of Canadian repealers--or ribandinen—or in-
cendiaries (no matter under what nickname, or whether
disciplined and commanded by Captain Rock or Daniel
O'Connell) ;—a secret society, powerful, extensively dif.
fused, completely organised, and termed " The Hunters'
Lodges," we are calmly told, " mean to have a conviction
if possible." In these simple words, in this little for-
mula, in this accidental blunder into, ingenuousness,
what a key do we pick up wherewith to unlock the mys-
terious notions of our brother Jonathan touching the
majestyof the law !

POSY.—We confess we do not attach so much im-
portance to the • issue of Mr. APLeod's trial as many of
tar contemporariez. The late Governinent of Great
Britain, which- abstained for a year or two from adopt-
.ng theact.of
.tha seizure of the Caroline,_and‘v:lich,

afi-er this forbearance.. very consistently with the mean
and anti-national spirit which dictated it, permitted the
American Government to keep Mr. IPLeod a prisoner,
and to put him on his trial,. must be "presumed
to have made seine arrangement, in virtue of
which peace will be preserved between the two
countries, let the issue of this trial be what it may.
It is not for a single moment to be imagined that
any Foreign Secretary •of Great Britain, although it
happened to be Lord Palmerston, could have consented
to leave the question of peace or war between this coun-
try and the United States of America contingot upon
the precarious verdict of twelve Utica jurymen. The
alternative is unavoidable. There is some arrangement
for the preservation at once of the honour:of Great Bri-
tain, and of peace between Great Britain and the United
States, let the issue of the pending trial be what it mar,
or all the members. of her Majesty's late Government,
and especially the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
are in the position of traitors to their Sti'vereign and
country.

EXT ENSI V E ROBBERY.—Yesterday informa-
tion was received at the various metropolitan police
stations that a box, containing 3,000. dollars, which had
been forwarded from a celebrated mercantile house at
Riga, and consigned to Messrs. Sharpies, the
merchants, of Winchester-street, London, had been ab-
stracted from the captain's cabin of the • barque Potter,
now lying in King-road; near Bristol. The guilty par-
ties are the mate and tivo seamen, who have absconded,
and contrived to get clear off with their booty.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM TRII MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
• TIMES.—A -mysterious.state..of things exists in the
Exchequer Bill Market,- to which it may not be im-
proper to direct pilblic attention. we allude to the re-
markable fact that some party appears to be placing
those securities to a very large amount, and which bear
an interest of about 31 per cent. only, in temporary de-
posit for loans of money, for which as interest of 6 and
even 7 per cent. has bean offered. It is_even said that in
instanees which are.of- very - recent-'ecciirrence, an offer
to pay 7 per cent. interest, has been refused. In general
these transactions wouhi appear to have the same origin,
nest-ofas them seem to have been proposed by the same
party, Ns:holies employed different agents, and hence it.
has been a Matter of great wonder what the notives:of
theie parties could be in paying such an exorbitant price
for a,ccomModation, when the same object might have
been ansriered at a much cheaper
.rate by the sale of the
ExchequefßillS. The whole- thing' is so remarkable,
that any at'tempt to account for it is useless, until some
further infoimation can be obtained on the subject ; and
it, may be remarked, that it has exercised not only our
own ingenuitit', but that of several of the more 'distin-
guished menAers'of the Money Market.
The public Stocks generally improved to-day upon the
news.froni Aultrita, which is here considered to be of a
pacific nature,, disproving those exaggerated accounts
whith had before been put forward to harass and deceive'
those on- this.sidt},of. the Atlantic. The feeling that had
been diSplyed-as. 3i'Leed's trial will, it is . generally
beliosAsd; die away before 'that judicial investigation Is
Concluded is .43.nd aleJuld-this. not be the case, private let-
ters dP -not apprehetid any, such violent outbreak
would henneontrallable by the authorities, although it is
hinted that there may be parties who Would endeavour to
incite the pepulace to excess, should not precaution - be
taken to guard against it: The-value of the English
-Funds, influenced by these accounts, may be said to hate
increased one-quarter per cent., and at the close of the
market, there being mere business than usual transacted,
quotations left Off firm.
CHRONICLE.—Knowing the past favour and affec-
tion displayed by the Tories towards the bloody author
of the Durango decrees, and that the cause of Madame
Munoz in Spain is now also stained with the blued of
those who died in defending her own daughter from the
murderous midnight attack of paid assassins in her employ,
the Committee of Spanish bondholders are fully entitled
to be admitted to an interview with Lord Aberdeen, and
to receive a direct assurance from him that the cause of
constitutional government in Spain, as now existing
under the Regency of Espartero, will receive every pro-
per support and sympathy from the British'Government.
Espartero is by solemn acts and decrees to meet
the claims of the bondholders in good faith and steps
had been taken- towards the fulfilment of his promise,
when his attention was called away to the suppression of
internd disorder and revolt. The bondholders have,
therefore, a deep stake in maintaining his Government,
and they have an undeniable right to receive the clearest
assurance from her hlajesty's Government that no effort
will be wanting on their part to ccnsolidate the power of
the Duke of Victory as Regent of Spain.
ADVERTISER.—In the Canada markets flour was
falling. The decline since the Caledonia arrived out
was ls. 3d. per barrel, Canada fine being at 335. 9d.
to 345. Potashes, 295. 6d. to 30s. Exchanges on Lon-
don,
-101 per cent. The following 'is the' latest com-
parative statement of arrivals, tonnage, and passengers,

The weather had been all that could be desired for
a season of the year when the farmers were busily occu-
pied gathering in the fruits of the earth. The nights
and mornings had become cold, and throughout the day
there. was bright sunshine with a clear and unclouded
sky. No positive informatien had been received respect-
ing the crops, but from all that could be learnt they are
about an average with former years, with the exception
of pOtatoes, which are stated to be deficient.
- . Some time back we allnded to the suspicious circum-
stances tinder which certain vessels were fitted out with
goods at Hamburgh, by a Portuguese firm there, and, as
was suspected, with the view of engaging in the slave
trade. Private letters, received by the Hainburgli mail
to-day, notice the - sudden flight of the head of the firm,
leaving liabilities bellied him to a large amount. The
losses will fall partly here, as one particular house, we
hear, loses. 10,0001. by the affair.
SUN.—A better feeling was produced in the Stock
Exchange by the tenor Of the adviceS from America, and
although we cannot announce a return to perfect con-
fidence, we may notice a greater disposition to purchase
Stock. The business done was not of magnitude. Con
cols for. immediate transfer' adVanced from 874 f to 81
83.; and for Account, from 874 and 884 to 88i. i ; Ex
chequer Bills were heavy at 195, to 12.4. prem., and India
_Bonds at Is. prom, to is. discount ;India Steel: was at an
improvement from 241 to 243. The Nee Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. got up 'to 974 and 971 ; and the lie.
duced Annuities .to 861 and ,-I.; South: Sea 'Old Annui,
ties were at 97i. -. .T-
he opinion .is gaining.ground. that E.spartero will
ere long be enabled to restore peace. to his distracted
country, for the example of his energy at Madrid has-
prevented any greater-extension of the resolution in the
provinces.. Generally the Forei,gn Market was depressed
again to-day,' Spanish • Stock being the only exception,
as it improved to 191-- and 21k ; Chilian Bonds were at
655 to 661,Colombian at 181 ; Brazilian at 494 to 504 ;
and Mexican at 24. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per cents.
were Worth 51i to il.
In shares the bargains were limited. Brighton were
,19.1 to 12"; and Biackwall 16 discount. Great Western
10, and South Western 124 premium.
The following is a statement of exports for a period
of less than three months from the flourishing port of

an indication of the amount of export trade from one of
the Canada harbours.

WOOL W ICH—WEDNESDAY.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Siren, 16 gun brig, launched this season at the
Woolwich dockyard, and commissioned by Captain
'William Smith (b), was taken out of the basin yesterday,
and, it is said, will leave in a few days for China. A
number of other vessels preparing with all expedition at
Portsmouth are expected to be ordered to China im-
mediately.
The Geyser steam vessel, fitted with her machinery
by Messrs. 'Seaward and Co., is ready for trial, and will
leave Limehouse in a few days for Sheerness.
In order to encourage seamen to enter the service, a
great number being required to man the vessels recently
commissioned, several very excellent measures have
been introduced by the present Lords of the Admi-
ralty, which cannot fail to be highly appreciated
by our brave sailors. Were the same or other just
measures adopted in the army, such as the.rescinaing
of the late pension warrant, granting only Gd. a day
after 25 years' service, and returning to the old system, her
Majesty would have better men, and be better served,
than with only the miserable prospect held out at pre-
sent to that branch of her forces. It is to be hoped the
following example shown by the heads of the naval de-
partment will soon be followed by equally encouraging
measures to the army :
The Lords Coinnnssioners of the Admiralty have been
pleased to rescind the regulations which prevented pen-
sioners from receiving their pensions when servingin the
loyal Bevy, and all pensioners will in future, if fit for,
service. ba allowed to receive their pensions in addition
to their pay.
