CORN EXCH,III7GE, Ju Is.

To-6Atir there are not many fresh samples of
Wheat, and having but few buyers of Grain in
general, this trade is noted rather less in price;
Barley is rather cheaper, expelling larger supply ;
in Beans and Pease but little stirring ; Oats are ar-
rived in good supply, with some Foreign Cargoes
not in good condition, and sales are chiefly made
at a declension of zs. per quarter, and very few
samples reach the top price ; in Flour no alteration.

By an account laid on the Table of the House of
Commons, it appears that the total number of men
raised in England and Wales for the Royal Army
of Reserve, to the Ist of May last, was 31,758 ;
of these only 2531 were persons on whom the bal-
lot had fallen, the remainder being substitutes.
Out of these 9236 had volunteered for general
service.

Laing Church was opened yesterday morning for
the trial of a new Organ, presenrel by Mrs. FISHER.
A grand Seledion of Sacred Music was performed
On this occasion. ASHLEY led the Band. The
WALSHS, DIGNUM, Miss MUNDAY; Miss PARKE,
and INCLEDON, were the vocal Performers engaged
on the occasion. Though the weather was unfa-
vourable, several hundred persons attended, and many
of high fashion. The whole neighlurhood was
afterwards a scene of festivity, but particularly the
hospitable mansion of Lord MOUNT-NORR is. The
Duke of KENT'S Band attended. The Misses
GLASsE assisted in Duets and Trios, and the day
passed off with elegant gaiety.

MISS DE CAMP is gone to perform, during the
race week, at the Newcastle Theatre.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is at Bath, suffer-
ing under what Dr. JOHNSON terms " arthritic
tyranny," vulgarly denominated the gout.
Letters from the Cape of Good Hope confirm the
intelligence already announced, that a very severe
Proclamation against the English in that Colony has
been issued by the Governor, for an imputed breach
of public faith in the seizure of the Mary, a prize.
All the English are ordered to leave the Cape within
two months, as well as they can, in Neutral Ships ;
and if those are not to be found, they must address
themselves to the Governor-General, who is to pro-
vide them Cartel Ships at their own expence, to be
sent to the Batavian Republic, and then to be left
at its disposition : so that, after paying freight home,
they are not sure of getting to England. Security
must also be given that the Cartels do arrive in Hol-
land. Those who dare to repass beyond two months,
will be seized, and their property sequestrated.—
The Dutch Colonists are recommended to break off
all intercourse with their English customers and
friends, and to settle their accounts without delay.
A letter from Savannah (America), dated April
17, says: " This city, for several days past, has
been in as great a consternation and uproar as 'is
possible to conceive ; the circumstance that gave
rise to %has been the miscondua of Judge BowaN.
In his charge to the Grand Jury, he recommended
the emancipation of the Blacks, and went so far as
to say, that' if the Legislature did not do it, he
would head them himself, and assist in cutting the
throats of the white inhabitants. The Grand Jury
protested against such alarming conduit, on which
the Judge committed them to gaol. This circum-
stance roused the citizens, a meeting was immedi-
ately called, and measures were adopted to relieve
the Grand Jury. The uniform companies were or-
dered out, and in the evening the Judge was seized
and sent to prison. Had it not been for the mili.
Lary he would have been torn to pieces, for every
one, without an exception, was against him."
By accounts from Boston, dated the zl.th ult. we
learn that a Vessel from Batavia had arrived there,
afer a passage of 126 days ; she left at Batavia a
number of French and Dutch Ships of War, and an
English Frigate, which had been taken by the
French, and carried in there. An English Ship,
from London, laden with 300,000 dollars, was cap-
tured by a French Frigate, and carried into the Isle
of France, on the asth offebruary,

LAW REPORT;

COURT OF BENCH, IuNE

THE KING <v. JOHN LOCKYER, JOHN LOCKY77,.
WAINWRIGHT, AND ISABELLA WAINNRIGHT.
In our Report of the Proceedings in this Court,
on the 2,23 February, we gave an accdOnt of the
Conspiracy for carrying off Miss Pierce, a young*
Lady, under age, of beauty and fortune. In the same
Report, on May 3d, and May the srh, we stated ths
applications made to defer the presence ire Court of
the Defendant, Isabella WainiVrighr, on the
davit off' a Physician, who deposed to the severe
and dangerous indisposition of this Lady.—Thri
morning she appeared with the other Defendants, to
receive judgment. She came in a sedan chair,
and, on her arrival at the door of the Court, Mto
Lockyer Wainwright, her husband, entered. He
immediately addressed their Lordships, and inform-
ed them, Mrs. Wainwright was wholly unable,
from great agitation, to quit the sedan.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" If her situation be
such that she cannot enter the Court, she may al;.
pear some future-day."
While his Lordship was speaking, she was borne
in by two officers of the Cotirt, in a chair, procured
from the private roora of the Judges. Several wo-
men in attendance followed, by whom she was sup;
ported during her continuance in Court. She resem-
bled more a corpse than an animated being. All the
doors were thrown open for the access of air, by di.
reaion of the Noble Judge, that she might suffer the
least possible injury from her present situation. Sf'le
seemed, at intervals, under convulsive symptoms.
Mr. Boit sotrosts, on behalf of Mr. John Loctie-
yer, opened the pleadings in mitigation cf punish..
ment. He said, that none of those mercenary too_
rives which were attributed to his client could be
correBly applied, as the strong arm of the law
protected the property of the unfortunate fugitive
whom he had married. She was not imposed upon
by artifice ; she was a young woman of good
understanding, and if not of age, at years of discre-
tion and maturity, when she could form a correct
judgment of her immediate intentions and future
prospects. The objet of all punishment was not
to accumulate misery- on the offender, but to pre..
vent the commission of crime. In the whole course
of his experience, the Learned Counsel said, he
had known but one instance in that Court of a
coovidion for the same offence ; and therefore
he trusted the Court would not be induced to
inflia the severity of the law, since there was so
little reason to apprehend the frequent repetition of
this crime. Mr. BUR aouGHS then adverted to the
term of imprisonment under which his client hac!
already suffered, and, conscious -that justice would
be administered in mercy, he committed him with
hope, but not .without anxiety, to the sentence of
the Court.
Mr. ER-KINE spoke ma behalf of the two other
Defendants. He telt extreme pain for the present
melancholy situation of this unf,rtunate Lady, who
appeared now before the Court a mere shadow of ex..
is:dice, happily, perhaps, at this moment wholly in-
sensible to the awful situation in which she was
placed. Whatever might be the crime of the othet
Defendants, she must be supposed to have remained
under the coercion of her husband ; from him she
must receive command, and to him she must render
not only affedion, but obedience; She was the.reliet
of the parent of the young viaim, and her suffer-
ings must be more acute from the near relation-she
sustained', than from any ir.fliCtion from the justice
of the Cotirt. This was a most distressing, it not a
most indecent spa-lade, and he had at least a right
to declare, that such an object was not fir to return
to the gloom of a prison. This striking exhibition
taught us to .refied on the infirmities of our species,
and to render that compassion which we ourselves,
on such trying occasions, necessarily required. It
is frequently observed in Courts of Justic.e, that,
by the, lower classes,. expedients are employed to
impose upon the generous and manly feelings of a
British Judge. Nothing of this kind could be
for a rneinent suspected in the present case : the
affidavit of a Physician had been read in Court,
stating her fever, her delirium,.and her total imbe-
cility, if, indeed, her present appearance would out
have rendered all testimony on this subjea stiper-
fluous. The source of her corporeal infirmity is het
mental affiirtion ; even in men, with their gross
habits, anxiety is often the pale messenger of death;
how then could this exquisitely delicate form sustain
the confiki ? Their Lordships would consider, that
the design of British Law was not to inflict death
for such a crime, and they would pronounce the so..
lemn sentence in the contemplation of those prin.
ciples which would direa the determination on the
sins and infirmities of mankind at the Tribunal of
Heaven, where redress would be granted to supply
the defects of all human institutions, by the inter-
position of the Divine Mercy.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired, how long Isa..
bells Wainwright had been confined ?
The Officer replied, since the 24th of Februarys
The ATTORNEY,GENERAL addressed the Court
on the part of the prosecution, under strong impres-
sions, evidently from the pathetic appeal to the teel-
ings of humanity, by Mr. Easis r NE. He said, how-
ever painful a duty it might be to repel the obser..
vations of the Learned Counsel who had pleaded the
cause of the guilty and the unfortunate, it was incum-
bent on him to discharge the funaions of his situa.
tion. He then entered into the more minute parts
of the evidence, and replied to the observations
now direded to the passions, as well as to the wis-
dom of the Court.

Mr. GARROw, on the same side, declined making
a single remark.
Mr. EttstorrE signified, that from the accident of
the Attorney being changed, and from the circum-
stance of the instructions not being received by him,
bef?re he entered the Court, some affidavits were
not provided, which he was confident their Lord_
ships would wish to receive before they pronounced
judgment : he therefore begged the sentence might
not be delivered until that testimony sicts produced.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" Let the Defendants
be remanded, and the Court will mike an order re_
spelling their being brought up some future day."
Soon after the Defendants had withdrawn, the
Chief Justice held the third Sittings in Term, when
several causes were tried, of no public interest or im.
port ance,

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,

ONE of the best sentiments ever uttered was,
" Carus mihi Plato, sed earior veritfts," which
may be rendered liberally-Honouted as the im-
provers of human science ought to be, yet man is
not infallible ; and no reputation, however great,
• r. ho, ever approved, should prevail over
the force of opposing fads, and,the fair deduCtions
of reasoo. Never did the principle of this.senti-
anent operate more strongly, or more urgently de-
mand free course and exercise than in the case now
before you. Many faits were discovered in
the mechanism of nature, and in the phenomena of
tf— !,ravens, disagreeing with the Newtonian laws,
of matter, and of the heavenly bodies. They led
to an experimental trial of those laws, and to a more
extended application of them to the planetary sys.
• tern : which done, tl.ey turned out to be very dif-
ferent in their' measures and modes of adion to the
Newtonian definitions and assumptions of them;
with this farther decisive consequence, that the
Newtonian quantities and modes of those laws, iiz.
of attradi.4l and projeaion, if traced through all
the consequences in the system that would properly
flow from them, would defeat the effeas they are
presumed to produce. So far the :great Newton
erred. In what followed he was defeaive; he stopped
short of the discovery his optics, duly used); would
have- opened to lion, viz. that the Solar System is
the only one of its species, the meanest work of
creation, and carries strong marks of being a sub,
sequent and degraded system. It is well known
what influence the idea of a multiplicity of sys.
teMs, like the Mundane, or our own, have upon the
. reasonings of mankind : those in authors such as
Durham, Hervey, Young, and others, are not al-
luded to, but those in the mouths and conversation
of many of a large portion of society. If any one
affirms them good, they certainly differ greatly in
opinion from your present Correspondent, who cer-
tainly thinks them, bad, and that they will not be
otherwise till the cause' is removed ; therefore he
thinks the sooner the truth is evinced, or the nearer
it is approached to, the better; for he feels no re-
, ludance to declare his perfea conviaion, that every
genuine discovery in Nature will advance men's
mints to grander and sublimer views of the .great
system of things, and more strongly make it appear
to be the produftion of Omnipotence, guided by
infinite wisdom and goodness. The above is a
sketCh of the subject of the book called Eversion,
in which the errors and truths of the Newtonian
System are stated, on a plan conceived the best
adapted to popular use and reading. The silence of
the Reviewers and some learned persons, into
whose hands books have been delivered four months
past, is, Mr. Editor, the occasion of this address
to you. However, many other capable and judici-
ous persons acknowledge their convidion in, and
give their private and personal suffrages to, the
work. Bat did they not, as Nature through all her
works cries loudly out against the laws and consti-
tution ascribed to her, I could not, nor cannot
cease from repeating and proclaiming the truths she
utters. If the Reviewets or any learned person
can find any radical error that affeets the conclusions
of the work in question, they will be thanked for
pointing it out (ertbrs of the press and trifling errors
many are acknowledged), those are not in question.
But if nothing fundamental be wrong, I appeal to
you, Mr. Editor, and to the liberal part of At world,
whether they will not art as utility and equity di-
red, by giving the Eversion immediate credit for
the truths it displays.
Your very obedient Servant,
THOS. CORMOULS.
