TMIt FUNDS.

Owine to the French Rentes coming lower, 67f. 20c.,
our Funds have a little receded. Consols, which left off
yesterday at 83i 84, opened at 831 for the Account, at
which price they are at present.
AU is anxiety to know if the Dutch Ambassador will be
recalled when our Order in Council is known to the King
of Holland, which is generally looked on to be a declaration
of war.

HALF-PAST ONE.

We do not hear that the private tetters bring any news
of importance, with the exception that the Dutch will
net believe, as yer, that the combined fleets are going to
bl,,ckade their ports. The Dutch papers, we understand,
contain the English and French summons to the King of
Holland, and his answer; therefore we must wait the
effect and impression that our Order in Council will have
when received, which, of course, we shall know in a few
days. We are informed that two Dutch Indiamen are on
their way from India to Holland, which in all probability
will fall in with the combined fleet.

Up to the pre-,ent hour we have no further accounts
from Portugal.

Consols in the early part of the morning have bean done
at 83a for the Account, and went up to 83-,1 ; at present
they are 834 buyers, with little doing.

COURT. OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 7,

WILLIAMSON V. DANES.
This was an action of assumpsit against a married
woman. Siie pleaded her coverture, to which plea
the plaintiff replied that the defendant's husband
had been declared a bankrupt, and outlawed under
the commission; and that he had been abroad to
avoid surrendering. To this replication the de-
fendant demurred.

Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS, in support of the demurrer,
wa, stopt by the Court.

Mr. S. rgeant TADDY in support of the replication,
voted a number of authorities to show that a wo-
man whose husband has been transported, either fir
fe or a shorter term, is restored to her rights and
lib nits as a fence sole; consequently in the present
rase, the hu,b.itid having committed a felony under
e bankrupt laws, and left the realm, and thereby
placed himself substantially in the same situation as
a person actually transported for fel •ny, the wife
must be taken to be restored to her liabilities as a
fence sole, and therefore liable in the present action
notwithstanding her coverture.
The COURT were unanimously of opinion that
the replication was bad in form and substance.—
Judgment fur the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant BomPAs, after the question of la w
was decided, stated that, in point of fact, the hus-
band in this case had paid 20s. in the pound, and
otyained an order for suspending the commission.
The COURT observed, that it would be as well
if he paid this debt, as well as the others.

This forenoon the KING, accompanied by Sir ANDREW
BARNARD, left the Coyle in a close carriage, and proceeded

afterwards the KING returned to the Castle.

This afternoon Lord FARNBOROUGH is expected to ar-
rive at the Castle, on a visit to their MAJESTIES.
This afternoon the QUEEN'S saddle horses were ordered
at the usual time, hut, owing to the coldness of the weather,
her MAJESTY did not leave the Castle. _ _

Several of the household have already left for Brighton,
and two services of the King's plate have. been forwarded

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Q UEEN- S QUARE.

George Jarvis was finall, examined, charged with
assaulting and robbing Mr. Carr, of No. 8, New Cur,
Lambeth, between 11 and 12 o'clock at night, near
the Elephant and Castle in the Kent-road.
A fellow named James Preston was now brought
up, charged by the constable with being the person
that threw the stone at him, which caused the
escape of one of the prisoners.
Tr•e Magis'rates committed Jarvis for trial for the
robbery, and fined Preston 51. for the assault on the
constable. In default of payment he was committed
for two months to the House of Co.rection.
WORSHIP- STREET.

Yesterday two fellows, named John Adams and
Thomas Lovel, were brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with savagely assaulting and attempt-
ing to violate the person of Alice Payne, a married
woman, about 43 years of age.
The a,aault was committed on Friday evening
last, and the poor woman had since been in the
hospital, in consequence of the very serious injury
ahe had sustained, but yesterday she was brought to
the office in a coach to give her evidence.
It appeared that the complainant was standing in
the court in which she resides, and the prisoners who
occupy a room on the first floor of the next house,
having ascertained by inquiry that her husband was
not at home, invited her into their place to rake
something to drink. She accordingly went to their
room arid had a glass of gin, and they immediately
afterwards began to take liberties with her. She
resisted, and in the struggle with them was struck
upon the head by, she believed, the younger pri-
soner, Lovel, after which she became unconscious
of what took place. The whole transaction, it ap-
peared, Occupied but a short time, and some of the
neighbours, who were alarmed by the outcry, found
the poor woman covered with blood, from an exten-
sive wound at the back of the head. Heads, a
parish constable, produced a window-sash which had
been dashed from the prisoners' room into the court,
and also a woman's cap, drenched with blood, which
he had found upon their bed.
The prisoners declared that they never struck or
ill-used the prosecutrix, and said that she cut her
head herself by dashing it through the window.
They were required to find bail for their appear-
ance at the Se-,sions, and being unable to do so,
were committed.

MARLB OR 0 UGH-STREET.
Mr. David Evans appeared to answer an infor-
mation against Mr. Peter Ware, landlord of the
Nag's-head public-house, Carnaby-street, for suffer-
ing card-playing and bagatelle in his house.
Mr. DYER would take into consideration the fact
of his being a very young landlord, and only fine

ABROAD.

"" * * I avail myself of the opportunity of the
sailing of an English ship•of-war to write to you in have
twine news. Tile day berme yesterday, at eight o'clock at
night, the enemy, having received reinforcements from
Lisbon, made an attemot to surprise the Serra Convent.
H-' was received wlh a vigorous fire by the brave garri-
son of that fortress, its vigilan, Governor having, through
his spies, learned the intention of the rebels. After a
combat which lasted an hour and a half, and during
which the grape-shot from our batteries was fired with
great effect, the enemy retired in dismay to his posi-
tions. Some deserters who have come over to us, say,
that the 17th regiment alone lost one hundred men in this
action. •

" The arrival of the Infante has been announced with
great pomp, and alio a general attack to be made this
day on our lines ; but to the time at which I am writing,
which is two o'clock in the afternoon, we are not certain
whether the former boast has been realized, and the latter
certainly has not yet taken place.
" A great number of shot and shells have been di..
reeled against th, city, and also some rockets. The ene-
my, however, has gained nothing by this barbarous
conduct. He has only succeeded in killing or wounding
a few of the inhabitants, chiefly women and children, in
some of the houses; for the shot does not reach our in-
treochtnents.

" However, it appears very singular that the Powers,
who, from motives of huminity, think it their duty to en-
deavour to prevent the hotnbardtnent of Antwerp, should
regard with indifference the usekss destruction ..nd carnage
which the atrocious Government of the usurpation is
causine here.

" There have successively arrived some vet Nels, bring-
ing 220 English soldiers, and thirty of the Beljc
legion. " Alarquis de PALMELLA.

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, Nov 4.—Yesterday, at four o'clock, Sir
Robert Adair despatched a courier to London, being the
third within three days.
Several couriers have been sent during the night by the
French Ambassador, with despatches for Lille and Valen-
cientics.

Lord and Lady F. Fitzclarence and Captain Doyle set
out yesterday for London.
The Moniteur says:" We learn that for some days
past great alarm has existed at Antwerp : this alarm is
exaggerated—that is to say, the events which are prepar
ing dep -rid on various contingencies. T. e Government
has applied to the Powers, parties to that Treaty of the
15th of November, to obtain the execution of the gua-
rantee stipulated in Article 25th of data Treaty. Its appli-
cation has been duly attended to. The coercive measures
to be emp'oyed avainst H Mold are combined in a grada-
tion which is generally known ; tee feat metsures will
be directed against the Dutch commerce ; the nitra-
ti.ne blockade will precede the expedition by land, and
the latter will not take place unless the former should
prove ineffectual. In the latter case, the citadel of Ant •
werp will probably be the first object of the operations ;
but even then the attack will, if possible. b.. arranged in
such a manner as not to expose the city to hostilities. This
extremity cannot occur before the 15th of this month, and
at all events, the Goya nment will m Ace it its duty to give
the inhabitants of Antwerp the necessary warning."
The coasting pilots of Ostend have received orders to
mike known to the ships bound for Antwerp, the deciara
tion made by the French and English Consu!s in that city,
rod to conduct such ships to °vend.
The Phare, and the Journal du Commerce, ofAntwerp,
contradict the statement of the arrival of French soldiers
at Niel. Gen. Haxo, of the Engineers, has arrived from
Paris at the hea4-quarters of the army of the North, and
will, it is said, direct the operations of the siege of the ci-
tadel of Antwerp.
The P/tare says—" A mercantile house in this city
(Antwerp) received yesterday, by an extraordinary mes-
senger, the news, that the King of Holland had just laid
an embargo on the En.tli-h and French, and consequently
on the Belgian ships, in all the ports of Holland.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Court was occupied the whole morning in hear—
ing special cases, none of which were of any public im—
portance.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY.)

V. WILLIAMS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs as atsig.
nees of a lady named Mi,s Cowling, an insolvent, against
the defendant, for the recovery of a harp which they alleged
he had obtained in the way of a fraudulent preference.
Messrs. EARLE and COOKE appeared for the plaintiffs,
and Messrs. THEShIGER and WHITE for the defendant.

It appeared that Mr. Williams had been acquainted
with the insolvent a long time. In 1829 she applied to
him for a loin of soi.ne money, and offered him a 201. bi I,
drawn on a Mr. Bone, which she said would be accepted.
Ile gave her the money, but never got the bill accepted.
At other times also he advanced her several sums of
money. From this time up till 1831, Miss Cow-
ling had purchased a considerable quantity of fur-
Li ture and other goods from various tradesmen,
and seemed to he deeply involved in pi-cuwary dif-
ficulties. In 1831, the lady was arrested, and while at
the lock-up-house she sent for Mr. Williams, and gave
him a warrant of attorney, in order that he might sell bee
fainiture, in order to pay himself and settle with her
creditors. The furniture she stated to be worth 200!.,
but on the defendant getting it valued, it was found to be
worth only 401., and when he went to put the warrant of
attorney in force, he found all the goods in the p ssessiou
of other parties. Finding this to he the case, be became
alarmed about his own debt, and aeain went to the lock-
up-house, and threatened that unless he got some security
lie would prosecute Miss Cowling for the fraud, in giving
hint the bill when she knew it was worth no more than
waste paper. She said, she had no other thing to offer
him than the duplicate of a harp, which she gave,
which was pawned for 201., which be was to take as se-
curity for his debt.

Mr. EARLE contended that this was only a voluntary,
therefore a fraudulent, preference given to Mr. Willi ,m, by
the insolvent, and recoverable by the assignees, for the be-
nefit of the general body of credirois ; and further, that
the defendant ought to hwe delivered up the h irp, on
being tendered the amount he had paid for it to the pawn-
br.,ker.

On the other side, Mr. THESSIGER said, that it was not
a voluntary preference, but that the dupl cate Was given
under the tear of criminal proceedings, and called Miss
Cawliug, who proved it. He contended thst, th refol!, it
was good in law, but if his Lordship or the Jury sneuld
think not, then he must contend that there was no tender,
for no money had been shown which was necessary to
make it legal.

His Loiinsun, having summed up, the Jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 601.

DAN/EL APA LOON, rento,ailiff of M. BABINGTON, Esq.,
of Boney Glen, ne ir Donegal, left Mr. BABINGTON'S in
company with three men who had been paying rent that
day ; the three men had horses, but M'ALooN had not ;
they kept together until they came within a mile of Glen-
ties, when M'AtooN, being tired, remained a short dis-
tance in the rear; night

their escape to a neighbouring house, where they were
reinforced, and went in search of M'Atoon, but could
not find him. They then rode into Glenties, where they
informed the chief constable of the circumstance. He or-
dered out the police, and after searching for some time
they found the body of M6ALoorr lying on the road dread-
fully mangled ; his skull was laid open, it is supposed with
a hatchet. Wounds were inflicted with bay-forks, and
one by a sabre. A rope was fastened round his neck.

as Lord Chief Justice. At a few minutes after 10. Sir
Thomas, accompanied by Mr. Justice J. Parke, Mr. Joe.
rice Taunton, and Mr. Justice Paulson, arrived on the
Bench, when the usual oaths were administered to the
new Lord Chief Justice by one of the Masters of the Curt.
It was observed that Sir James Scarlett was absent during
the above ceremony, but the instant it was over, he came
into C ,urt.

The Court then proceeded to hear argumen.s upon naa
tions for new trials, hut up to the time of our reporter
leaving, nothing occurred of any publ.c interest.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Justice Ltrrt.zoa ',teat in this Court to hear motiors.
THE HUNGEEF.,ED MARKET.

Mr. KELLY moved for a rule eating on the Hunger-
ford Market Company to, show cause why a mandamus
should not issue, commanding them to summon a Jury to
assesa the value of the good-will of the business of Mr.
Gosling, the confectioner, whose house was r quired by
them to effect the Hungerford market improvers-ms.
There had been several applications to this Court
on the part of the persons who were tenants at will,
and in those cases the Court of King's Bench had held
that although the parties were tenants at will, yet they
had such an interest iu the good-will of their businesses as
ntitled them to some compensation by beineforeibly de-
prived of it. The present case, however, was stronger
than thos., for Mr. Gos'ing had held his premises, to which
was attached a very valuable good-will, for a term of y ears ;
the Company had, however, refused to allow any compensa-
tion except for the value of the fixtures.
His LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause.

A respectable looking elderly frmale was brought up
from prison, by a rule of Court, for the purpose of being
compelled, under the Lords' Act, to give in a schedule of
her estate and effects.

Oa being required to comply with the rule, she re-
fused, and entered into a long complaint of the itjus•ice
she had experienced at the bands of her judgment creditor.
His LORDSHIP reasoned with the Lady upon the inuti-
lity of such a course of proceeding, avid said. that as the
creditor had got a judgment, he was entitled to compel
her to give in a schedule of her property.
She still refused to comply with the rule.
His LORDSHIP, most feelingly, remonstrated with her
upon her obstinacy, and reminded her that, if she per-
sisted in her refusal, the Court could only grant her a de-
lay of sixty days for consideration, and if she did not then
comply, she was liable to an indictment and to be tran•ported.
The lady's obstinacy could not, however, be overcome,
and she was at list remanded for sixty days.

jurors. The Hon. and Learned Member also presented a peti-
tion from the same body against flogging in the army ; also a
petition from the joiners of Dublin, praying for a repeal of the
Legislative Union; and a petition from Ashton-under-Line in
favour of the Bill for regulating factories. .
Mr. O'CONNELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the
better examination of persons residing in Ireland, who were wit-
nesses in suits in the Court of Equity in England.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN- S Q U ARE.
On Tuesday evening a middle-aged man, of rather re
spectahle appearance, was brought up in custody by Ser-
jeaut Ryan, of the B division, No. 11, and placed at the
bar before the Rev. Mr. LENDON, a county Magistrate,
charged with entering the Secretary of State's office, and
with a pistol in his hand demanding to see Mr. Phillips,
the Under Secretary of State, and threatening to make
use of the weapon if interrupted.
Serjeant Ryan said that the prisoner refused to give
either bis name or address at the station-house.

Mr. LENDON-Will you tell us your name now? Pri-
soner—l am not compelled to give my name without I
choose, and I would rather decline it at present.
Mr. LENDON—Very well; as you please.
Thomas Hill, of No. 20, Walcot-place, Lambeth, be.
longed to the Home-office. About half-past six o'clock
that evening, the prisons came to the office, and reque-t d
to see Mr. Phillips, tl e Under Secretary of State. Wi'-
ne-s told him that Mr. Phillips was gone, and he went
a cay. In a short time he returned again and asked for
Mr. Phillips, at the same time he pulled a pistol out of his
p eket, which he presented, and said that he would com-
mit an a-sault upon some p rson, as he wantrd to be sent
to pi icon. A police constable was sent for, and the pri-
soner was s,cm.-.d.

Mr. LENDON (to the prisoner)—Why do you wish to
he sent to prison? Prisoner—l suppose there will be
another investigation; and I shall decline saying any thing
now.

Mr. LENDON—Has the pistol been examined P—S-r
jeans Ryan here produced the pieta!, which be had Wren

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 19.—An English Cabinet messenger
passed through Brussels yesterday, who left St. Pctersburgh on
Tuesday, the 7th inst., with despatches for London ; before his
departure it was generally reported that Count Orloff was the
bearer of the Emperor's ratification of the 9.4 articles. On his
road he met a great number of Russian troops, returning to the
interior, and also the Prussian Landwehr, which has been dis_
banded returning home.

Montego Bay, Dec. Za, ISfiL
Six,—Since I had the honour of addressing you by post last
evening, so many fires have taken place, that I hare deemed it
proper to withdraw the outposts, as I do not wish to expose
them to a contest which I do not consider them equal to, and
to concentrate them here, with the exception of one company,
which I have directed to move in support of Colonel Grignon,
whose situation, with that of his regiment, I fear is extremely
critical. I have also directed the Hanover company, stationed
at Round-hill, to move on for the same purpose,
I am now convinced the contest must be decided in the
streets of Montego Bay. I have, &c.

Post-office, Montego Bay, Dec, 27, 1831,
Nine o'clock, P. M.
Sia,—l consider it my duty to inform you that there Is at
this moment a serious fire raging in a south-easterly direction
from this town, apparently about eight or ten miles distant, and
it is supposed to be at Hampton estate, but, from the glare, I
fear it extends to other estates in its vicinity, lying more to the
northward.

From the late insubordination of the negroes on many
estates in this neighbourhood, which has caused the militia to
be under arms since Sunday last, it is feared that this fire is not
from accidental causes, and I beg the favour of your giving his
Excellency the Governor immediate information thereof.

I have, &c.

We have one company of the 22d regiment in this town.

IRISH SECRETARY.

Mr. O'CONNELL also gave notice, that on that day he
should move for a return of the date of the appointment of Mr.
Stanley to the office of Secretary of Ireland, the emoluments at-
tached to the office, and the number of days which the Right
Hon. Gentleman had been in Ireland since his appointment.

Peloponnesian battalions, they falsely flatter themselves
they will be able to raise. They may succeed in en-
listing some; but you may depend upon it they will
be abandoned at the very first engagement. The Consti-
tutionalists are very rapid in their motions. Guencos is
still at Napoli, and the authority of Augustin scarcely ex-
tends beyond that fortress. A body of troops which he
had concentrated at Corinth, have s almost unanimously
gone over to the Constitutionalists. Not more than 100
hiir•emen returned to Argos ; while, the garrison of Ti ipo-
Utz t marched forward, with drums beating and colours
flying, to Megan!, to augment the army of the legal Go-
vernment. Three of time ships of the Capo d'lstrians,
which were cruising in the bay of Corinth for the purpose
of intercepting the communications of the Constitu-
tionalists, and a brig of war in the Lepanto, have sub-
'flitted to the Constitutional Government. It is to the
Russians, and the Russians alone, encouraged by the so-
oineneas of the two other Powers, that we are indebted
fur all our misfortunes."
London, England, 1832-02-23

GENERAL REGISTRY BILL

On our return to the gallery, Colonel MABERLY entreated
the Hon. Member for Stafford to postpone his motion for the
second reading of the General Registry Bill, in order that they
might proceed with the Ordnance Estimates.
Mr. CAMPBELL said the Noble Lord (Althorp) had pledged
himself to give this day for the consideration of the Bill at the
time that he (Mr. Campbell) consented to postpone it; and he
confessed that he despaired of proceeding with his Bill during
this session, if he lost the present opportunity. He was anxious
that the Bill might be read a second time, in order that hemight
move that it be referred to a Select Committee, who would be
able to investigate the whole question in all its bearings.

Mr. RICE said the Government would be very unwilling to
place any obstacle in the way of a Bill which came before the
House in pursuance of the recommendation of the Committee
on the law of real property, and he therefore left it in the dis-
cretion of the House.

Sir C. WETHERELL thought the Bill should be postponed
till they got rid of the Reform question.
Mr. HODSON said many Members were absent who
intended to oppose the Bill ; and if the Hon. Member persevered
in his motion, he would divide the House on the question of
adjournment.

Mr. C. FERGUSON was in favour of the Committee, the ap-
pointment of which the Hon. Member intended to move.
Mr. It. TREVOR was resolved to oppose the Bill by every
means in his power, and in every stage.
Mr. STRICKLAND thought the Bill should be postponed,
to allow time for further consideration.

Mr. JOHN WOOD observed, that few questions had ever
come before the House of which the Members, and indeed the
country generally, were so ignorant, as the Act for a general
registration. He would mention a curious instance of this ig-
norance. In a northern county, which for obvious reasons he
would not particularise, a meeting was called lately to petition
against the Bill. This meeting was called under the authority
of the Lord Lieutenant of the county. He (Mr. Wood) hap-
pened to be in the county town on the day appointed, and
some of the principal requisitionists who were to get up the pe.
tition to be agreed on actually sent to him to know if he had a
copy of the Bill with him, as not one pf those opposed to it had
ever seen it or read its provisions ?—(Hear.) He mentioned
this as a specimen of the kind of opposition which interested
persons had got up against the measure of his Hon. Friend.
The fact was, that the majority of landed gentlemen were
under the dominion of their attorneys, and that attorneys knew
that their profits would be matertally diminished if the Bill
were passed into a law. Where a Commission had been ap-
pointed by the Crown to investigate the matter, he thought that
the House of Commons ought at least to look at the result of
the labours of that Commission.

SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN JOURNALS.

Le Tenzpsargues that it is highly improbable that Austria
will ever allow Russia, France, and England to have the
uncontrolled regulation of the affairs of Greece, and that
therefore the nomination of the young Paince Otho of
Bavaria, with a Regency consisting of the Ministers of
these three Powers', cannot be expected to take place.
La Quotidienne sums up a long article on the impolicy
of the British Cabinet in supporting Don Pedro, in the
following words ;--" Lord Grey, by fal;ouriug the expedi-
tion of Don Pedro, has acted agaiylt the interests of his
country as well as against those of fs own party. Against
the interests of his country, by compromising her ancient
alliance with Portugal, by obliging Spain to turn to the
Northern Powers; Spain who, during the empire, joined
her arms with those of England ; by encouraging the spirit
of revolution with new successes, hich in the end may lead
to the overthrow of the social order in England by exposing
her to a general war, which must be considered to be highly
injurious to her, since Lord Grey himself is ordered to main-
tain peace at any price. Against the interests of his own
party, by rendering his situation with the Tories in the House
of Lords inure complicated, by the impulse thus given to the
spii it of revolution, by giving a new cause of alarm to the
Aristocracy, already, and with so much reason, alarmed by
the Bill of Refortn, by following the system of the Propa-
ganda, when, in order to preserve peace, which is the true
basis of his system and the condition of his political exist-
'roc-, he ought to seek to strengthen the security of all go-
vernments. Add to this, that if Don Pedro obtains a
momentary success, and Spain interferes, as she is deter-
mined to do, Lord Grey must, in order not to take up
rrms, let her go on, and then the check which his pro.
tease will receive must rebound upon the protector. Thus
Lord Grey would meet with the same success that has at-
tended the revolution of July ; he will see perish all who
relied upon him for support."
Pants, STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 21.—The market to-
day has been brisk, and speculators appear to gain confi-
dence in the continuance of peace. The prices have
consequently improved steadily the whole day. At the
close, the Five per Cents, for cash had risen 50c. ; the
Three per Cents., 60c. ; Neapolitans, 35c. ; the Rentes
Perpetuelles, the Papal Loan, 1 ; and the Belgian
Loin 4. Guebhard's had fallen 4 ; and the Four per
Cents. were not quoted. For the end of the month the
Five per Cents had advanced 55e. ; the Three per Cents.,
65c. ; and the Papal and Belgian Loans, each. Neapo-
litans and the Reuter Perpetuelles not having been quoted
yesterday, no comparison can be instituted.

S►a,—ln consequence of the information contained in your
letter of 4th inst. I have to inform you, that Mr. Box has been
arrested; and although your letter does not state the charge pre-
ferred against him, his Excel!ency considers it quite suffi-
cient to c use him to be detained until he may hear further
from you ;. you will therefore lose no time in transmitting to me
such information as you may have obtained when, if the charges
preferred appear sufficient, he will be conveyed to Falmouth to
abide his trial.

. The lamentable crisis which has now arrived renders ex-
ample necessary, however abhorrent it must be to resort to it;
and if it should appear that Englishmen, men of sense and edu-
cation, have been wicked enough to excite the slays s to rebel-
lion, it cannot be supposed that they shall escape because they
are also ministers of religion. But his Excellency directs me to
it npress strongly on your.mind thegreat discretion which in such
a case should be adapted to endeavour, by every means in your
power, to divest tribunals from all feeling of prejudice, and above
all of prejudice on grounds of religion, for in civil commotion the
evil is never so great as when it
lassumeshave, -an appearance of reli.
gious war.

THE MAYOR OF BRISTOL.

The following two letters from the Mayor of Bristol, (to
which is subjoined the published letter of Mr. Daniel Fripp)
chew the great precaution the Mayor took to make known
where he was to be found from twelve o'clock on Sunday night
to Monday morning.

" The Mayor of Bristol desires Colonel Brereton to consider
himself fully authorized to take whatever steps, and give
whatever orders, he, as the military Commander of the troops
in this city, may think fit, to restore and preserve as far as pos-
sible the public peace. The Riot Act has been read three times
to-day. Colonel Brereton will have the goodness to consider
this order to apply not only to the troops at present under his
command, but to any which may subsequently arrive in the city.
" Mr. Daniel Fripp's, 30, Berkeley-square,
" Sunday night, Twelve o'clock, 30th Oct. 1831."
" The Mayor of Bristol begs to inform Colonel Brereton that,
if he should have occasion for the orders of a Magistrate, either
the Mayor or some other Magistrate will be found at No. 30,
Berkeley-square, Mr. Daniel Fripp's, the second house on the
right hand on turning into the square from Park-street.
" Berkeley-square, Twelve o'clock Sunday night".
. . .

" This communication is made to Colonel Brereton in conse-
quence of Lieutenant Macclesfield calling at the Council_
house, and requesting to see a Magistrate. Colonel Brereton
was gone out when a call was made at the Staff Station to in-
form him as above."

Bristol, Three o'clock, Monday morning, Oct. 31

" Sin,—l direct you, as Commanding Officer of his Majesty's
troops, to take the most vigorous, effective, and decisive means
in your power to quell the existink riot, and prevent further
destruction of property.
" I am, &c., " CHARLES PINNEY.
" To Col. Brereton, or the Commanding Officer of his Ma-
jesty's troops, per Mr. Goldney and Mr. W. Harris, jun."
