DUCHY OF LANCASTER COURT, WESTMINSTER,
Before Lord BEXLEY, Mr. Justice BAY LEY and Mr.
Justice HOLROYD, as Assessors.

This was an appeal made by Mr. Clement, the
proprietor of The Observer, against a fine of 5001.
imposed on him, for having published in that
Paper the proceedings against Thistlewood, Ings,
and the rest of the Cato-street conspirators,
while the trials were yet pending, contrary to an
express order made by the Lord Chief Justice
Abbott.

Mr. DEN MAN, on behalf of the appellant, me-
morialized the Court for a postponement of the
cause, on an affidavit, stating Mr. Clement's
anxiety to have retained Mr. Scarlett as one of
his Counsel, but which he did not know that he
could do till within 24 hours past, it being ex-
pected that Mr. Scarlett, being the Attorney-
General for the Duchy, would be retained on
the other side.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that on the
part of the Crown he wished the fullest investi-

gation, and therefore should not oppose the
motion.

The Court, after a short consultation, agreed
to postpone the case till the 13th of February.
Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. DENMAN, and Mr. PLATT,
were retained for the appellant.

FItAN'XFORT, JAN. 20.—The Antic Counsel-
lor, F. Murhardt, known as one of the liberal
German writers, and the correspondent in this
city of several French and German Journals, has
for a considerable time attracted the attention of
the Diet. The publication of some of the acts of
that Assembly in French Journals, which none of
the Deputies can publish without a violation of
his duty, caused iu the beginning the late Minis-
ter for Wurtemburg to be suspected. The latter
demanded a strict investigation, and on this Mr.
Murhardt appealed to the deceased Hessian Mi-
nister, Von Hornier, with whom he never had
any connection. This and other things have in-
duced the Diet to resolve on the proposal of
Austria, to prohibit Mr. Murhardt from residing
at Frankfort. After various negociatious during
the period of six months, last Saturday, the ut-
most time allowed to M. Murhardt, expired, and
he was obliged to leave the city on Sunday. his
intention was to go through the Bavarian domi-

"ions. Though he is a subject of the Elector of
Hesse, and well known as a distinguished partisan
of the late French Westphalian Government, and
though he has had a great share in the very vio-
lent writings of the purchasers of Westphalian
domains, he ventured to appear publicly at
Hanau, where he was, however, immediately ar-
rested. In the following night his papers were
seized. The reason assigned by the Hessian
Government is the suspicion under which he lies
of a secret connection with one Ketch, who is
also an object of suspicion to the Hessian Govern-
ment. This Ketch has lived a long time in Ame-
rica, and sometime ago being at Mentz, expressed
himself very freely on political subjects, in the
presence of two Members of the Central Com-
mittee, on which account he received a very
serious reprimand.

COUNT STAGPOOLE.--A near relation of this
gentleman, accompanied by his brother-in-law,
and a French Advocate are now in London, as
supposed, for the purpose of obtaining evidence
on the suit pending against the Count in the
Court of Appeal at Paris.
! The great Protestant Union of Southwark, con-
!
' sisting of the most distinguished Divines and
learned men in England, have unanimously elect-
ed Sir HARcoURT LEES, Bart., an Honorary Mem-
ber of that Constitutional Body, and have di-
rected their Secretary to write to this eminent
Protestant Advocate, requesting him to corre-
spond with the Society, in order to enable them,
in the most effectual manner, to succeed in
their ultimate views.—( Dublin Corre4pondent,
Jan. 27.)

SUDDEN DEATIL-Mr. SAMONDA, of Finshnry-
square, Merchant, a gentleman of the greatest
respectability, died this morning at six o'clock,
in consequence of a fit, at his own house, after
having given a Ball to his numerous and respect-
able friends.

Some People remark " it never rains but it
pours," which may not inappropriately be ap-
plied to the late Rise in the Funds, for ever since
Mr. SIVEWKIGHT contracted for this Lottery (a
Moiety of the Prizes in which are STOCK, the
other MoNEy), the Price has rapidly and pro-
gressively risen upwards of Nine per Gent., and
many think Stock will, ere long, fetch more in
the market than the same Nominal Sum of Money,
but even at the present Value there has accu-
mulated about 1110,000, which will be gained
by the Holders of Tickets and Shares, in addition
to the SEVEN R 20,000, &c. originally allotted
for the Scheme,—no wonder, therefore the sale
of this Lottery is uncommonly brisk, especially
as the Drawing is so near, and the Two First
Prizes will each have £20,000 Sterling extra.
