Muftricit, Ocr. 18.—The official Journal of the 17th
contains the promulgation of the resolutions of the Ger-
man Diet of 28th June ; it is conceived in the following
terms :—" Louis, &c. The following articles have been
resolved upon in the twenty-fourth sitting of the German
Diet. (Here follow the six articles.) In making known
to all the authorities and public functionaries of our do-
minions the said resolutions, which are conformable to the
obligations originally contained in the Act of Confederation,
we add that our acquiescence in those resolutions makes no

SPIRE, OCT. 20.—From the official accounts published
by the journals of Hesse and others, it appears that in the
course of the present year the west and south-west coun-
tries of Germany have lost 30,000 inhabitants by emigra-
tion to America, and it is likely that in the next spring
they will lose 20,000 more, since the desire of emigrating
has spread to districts which none of the inhabitants had
before abandoned in this tnanner.—Frankfort Papers,
Oct. 23.

Aucsnuac, Ocr 21.—The Volksblatt (popular jour-
nal) of 13aden, contains a declaration of Counsellor Von
Roteck, that he is neither a partaker in, nor a promoter
or panegyrist of, the plan of emigrating to America ; but,
on the contrary, that be believes that in the present
times every emigrant may be reproached with neglect of
his duty or with cowardice, unless very peculiar circum-
stances justify his resolution. The Carlsruhe Gazette
contains a warning given by a German settled in Ame-
rica, against joining in any plan of emigration, founded
on the union of property in one common stock and joint
labour, as such a plan cannot be executed but to the de-
triment of the majority, and to the promotion of the sel-
fish views of a few, as similar attempts, for instance, that
of M. Rupp, of Wurtemburg, had proved to what a fright-.
ful despotism in the chiefs such associations lived even
in the land of freedom.

CANAL TRAVELLING.—On Saturday a
new iron boat, called the Reformer, was launched on the
Glasgow and Edinburgh canal, on which it is intended to
ply by night with goods and passengers. It has three
excellent cabins, one for ladies, one for gentlemen, and one
for inferior passengers. Sixty passengers can be accom-
modated in a superior manner. The length of the vessel
is sixty-five feet, her breadth ten feet ; besides passengers,
she carries ten tons of goods. Another similar vessel is
constructed. One is t leave Edinburgh, the other Glas-
gow, every evening, at six o'clock, and to make the pas-
sage in twelve hours.

PREACHING EXTRAORDINARY IN IRE.
ANse'nnight, Lord MANDEVILLE, son
of the D.O
Dukea Sunday
of MANCHESTER, preached at a Methodist
chapel, near Lurgan, in the county of Armagh. The
LAND.—On
announcement of his Lordship's intention collected an
immense congregation, tar beyond what the chapel could
contain. His Lordship took fur his test, " He that corneal
to me I will in no wise cast out." Before Lis Lordship
left the chipel, he announced to the congregation, that his
gold watch had been stolen during his passage through the
crowd, after descending from the pulpit. This announce-
ment caused great confusion.

THE BRISTOL RIOTS.

FIFTH DAY.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

THE ICING V. PINNEY, ESQ.

The examination of witnesses for the defence com-
menced this morning. Lord Tenterden was absent also to-
day, and it was stated that he was labouring under a
severe indisposition.

Mr. W. H. Hare, examined by Mr. CAMPBELL-Was
Under Sheriff of the city of Bristol, and had been so for
13 years, and practised as an attorney in partnership with
Mr. Little. There were two Sheriffs and one Under
Sheriff acting for both. On the 17th October, 1831, the
quarter sessions for the city were held and the Magistrates
were assembled. On that occasion there was a discus-
sion as to what should be done when Sir C. Wetherell
came as Recorder to hold a gaol delivery, a disturbance
being apprehended. It was there resolved that witness
should come to London to wait on the Recorder and on
Lord Melbourne, the Secretary of State. He was accom-
panied by Mr. Burgess, the city solicitor, and Alderman
Fripp joined them in London on the following morning.
They saw Sir Charles Wetherell and consulted with him
on the expediency and propriety of laolchig the gaol de-
livery. The Recorder said it was absolutely necessary to hold
the assizes. Alderman Fripp, Mr. Burgess, and witness saw
Lord Melbourne on the s ime day, and he expressed the same
opinion, that it was absolutely necessary to hold the assizes.
His Lordship said that a contrary course would be an itu-
proper succumbing to the public feeling, and he treated it
as a question that admitted of no doubt. Witness de-
scribed to his Lordship the state of public feeling in Bris-
tol, and the apprehension entertained by the Magistrates.
The following day they had another interview with Lord
Melbourne, when Sir Charles Wetherell attended also, at
Mr. Fripp's request. Witness then also stated the nature
of the Magistrates apprehensions. Lord Melbourne pro-
mised the assistance of troops, and when witness asked
what number, his Lordship appeared surprised at the ques-
tion. Witness assigned as his reason, that he feared the
nature of a mob in Bristol was not understood. Lord
Melbourne said the troops should be sent, but he wished
that they should not be used but in the last extremity,
and that they should not be taken into the town in order
that it should not appear that the people were under military
control; he also said that the usual mode of receiving the
Recorder should not be departed from. On returning to
Brice I, the Magistrates directed witness to report what
force was sufficient, and he reported that about 300
constables would be sufficient. On other occasions, par-
ticularly as contested elections, there had been riots and
breaking the Mansion-house, such as was done on the
Saturday night; he therefore thought 300 constables were
sufficient. It had always been found that a comparatively
few number of constables acted with greatest effect; they had
at one time 700, but they reduced the number gradually to
300. Witness applied to the chief constable of each
ward to raise that force, and he pointed out what steps
should be taken to obtain a coalition with all the forces ;
his endeavours were however ineffectual; the ward of Trinity
alone furnished the number for that ward ; the whole num-
ber raised was not more than 200. The Magistrates then
desired him to hire as many constables as would make up
the number wanted. That was done, and witness after-
wards paid for 119 constables. On the Saturday morning
the constables assembled ; every exertion was made for
their organization. They assembled about eight o'clock
in the Exchange ; saw the Mayor that morning about a
quarter before eight, and reported to him that everything
was ready. The Mayor went to the Exchange and saw
the constables, and addressed them upon the duty they
had to perform. They then proceeded to receive the Re-
corder. The distance was shortened ; they usually went
about 2-1• miles on the road to meet him, and that was
shortened. They also went at an earlier hour than
usual, to anticipate the congregating of the peo-
ple, and it certainly had that effect. They went
to meet him at 10 o'clock, and about 11 o'clock the pro-
cession returned to the Guildhall. When they started
there was but a small crowd, but on returning it increased
very much. Very violent and exciting language was used,
particularly by women. A great pressure was made on.
the constables, many of whom were much hurt, but no
actual violence took place until they got to the bridges
about 500 yards from the Guildhall. They met him et
Totterdown, which was two miles nearer than the usual
place. Between the bridge and the Guildhall, a constable
was wounded, and blood streamed from his head. Stones
were flying in all directions. The popular vengeance
seemed particularly excited against the hired constables,
and there were cries of " You have sold your coun-
try, and we will pay you for it. ' At the door
of the Guildhall the Recorder paused, as if he
wished to say something. Witness was standing by
him when a number of stones were thrown, one of
which struck witness. On holding the Assizes it was
usual to read the Charter at the Guildhall; that was done
on this occasion, but there was an universal yelling and
shouting ; that was repressed, and the reading of the
Charter proceeded. The Recorder was then conducted 10
the Mansion-house in the Mayor's coach, attended by the
Mayor and sword-bearer. The other Aldermen also
went there. On their road the mob became more violetp
as far as pressure was concerned ; the constables had strict
orders to use no violence without witness's orders, and 00
no account to break their ranks. At the 'Mansion-house
the Magistrates were assembled ; that was about 12
o'clock. Immediately Sir Charles Wetherell got I.':
r 4
stones were thrown, and the mob were partially do
persed. There was a comparative quiet until half- POB
two or three o'clock, and the Magistrates consequentir
thought that it would be proper to take Sir Charles 10
church the following morning as usual. But as fast 89
the mob were dispersed, they repeatedly returned. Abe° c
three o'clock they increased in violence, and the constables
of the M sit
up'
Lion reported to witness that their ol;
tion was perilous. Witness had previously been ordered
to prepare quarters for the troops instead of allowing
them to return to their quarters at Keynsham. Wltn,„e:e
provided a station for them at Fisher's and Lee's.
two troops of the 14th Dragoons had been concealed In
the cattle-market, and the 3d Dragoons in the gaol, so 1,
to keep them out of sight, as Lord Melbourne had wi§he's
On the Thursday preceding, witness had rode over the
ground with Colonel Brereton, Captain Warrington'
"0
and Captain Gage, for the purpose of making air);
rangements how the troops were to act. A df
had been raised as to the tight of the Sheriff l„
interfere with the troops, anti witness wished to
have that point cleared up. On the Sunday afternoon
witness requested Colonel Brereton to remove his trt)a Pa
to the quarters provided for them, and at half-past three ,
o'clock witness left Colonel Brereton, who, he understood'
was going to send for the troops. Witness returned to the
Mansion-house. The mob increased greatly in Queen..

Tie chief constable pressed very much for the erriphVie!'
of the military. Witness mentioned that to the Mar.
trates, and the town clerk also wished them to be sent 1,.r:
Sir C. Wetherell went to the window, and said ther w."
no excuse fur the employment of the military, ?Ic.
Burgess, the city solicitor, was of the same opinion
Witness admitted there was not then any ground
for calling in the military, but he knew there
would be. There was a strong feeling of public
opinion in the city respecting the Reform Bid, and
as Sir Charles Wetherell bad said there was a re-action it
seemed determined to show that there was no re.actioo,
That was indeed the answer the witness got when he ap'
plied for assistance the constables of the ward of St'
Mary Rateliff in particular, through the chief constable'

protect Sir Charles 'Wetherell, but on no account whatev'
would. they ask a single person to put himself in sueb,,3
situation to protect such a map. There was a strong low'
position, from political feeling, to assist the Magistrate.
Before the Mayor addressed the crowd there were great
violence, outcries against Sir Charles Wetherell,
and stones
had been thrown at the Mansion•house ; 9°6:Jl
persons had been taken for throwin stones and
sent down to Bridewell, but the coustables were
attacked, and the prisoners rescued • a body

party, before he finished his address. He, however, °al

to the Mansion•house. Colonel Brereton was with them.
Going up stairs witness met Aldermen Fripp, George,
and Hillhouse. Very shortly afterwards witness saw
the Mayor, and was informed that Sir C. Wetherell had
made his escape. Saw Colonel Brereton in the Mansion
house. In witness's judgment it was necessary for Sir
Charles to leave Bristol et that time, for it was utterly
impossible to have held the Assizes, such was the excited
state of the public mind. When witness had left
the Magistrates to go to Colonel Brereton he left
100 constables there whose tour ige he could rely on, and
when he returned the attack had been made on the Man-
sion-house with great violence, and many of the constables
were hurt. The attack nas with stones. Mr. Burgess
and witness was sent by the Magistrates to Sir C. We-
therell to recomtnend him to leave the city. He found
Sir Charles at Captain Gardner's, on St. Michaei's
and delivered the message ; the crowd was composed of all
classes ; the actual agents were tin- lowest persons, and the
better-dressed persons did not attempt to restrain therm
On returning to the Mansion-house he met the con-
stables coming down stairs who had been organized by
Major Mackworth. That night one of tie Dragoons was
brought in wounded ; then Captain Gage asked for leave
to fire, and the M iyor assented to it. Colonel Brereton
afterwards came and said it was unnecessary to fire, for
the mob were good humoured, and that he had not any
doubt he could walk them down. Mr. Sergt. Ludlow, paint-
ing to the wounded soldier asked if that was evidence of good
humour. At last, on the Saturday night all was quiet.
Witness went home about one o'clock, it being arranged
that he should relieve Mr. Burgess early in the morning.
Mr. Burgess was to remain with the Mayor and Magis-
trates all night. \V-tress lived on the confines of the
city, and on going home the streets were quiet. Between
six and seven in the morning, he returned to the Mansion-
house. When he got to the Mansion-house, there was a
picquet of the 14th Dragoons, sitting in front of it, and
but few people assembled. He remained at the Mansion-
house an hour and a half, or two hours; he found the
Mayor in the drawing-room, anti it appeared he had been
sitting up all night ; there were no beds there, ex-
cept the bed in the Recorder's room, which had been
taken down. While he was there, a considerable
body of people again attacked the house ; the Mayor
ordered witness to get his constables together, and
Inieg them down to him ; he wrote summonses to the
chief constables, and called himself upon several of them.
He returned to the M oasion-house in about three-qua. tees
of an hour or an hour, and he then found the Mayor had
been obliged to fly. He sent the summonses at 20 minutes
past 9 o'clock. Having found the Mayor Lad left the
Mansion-house, lie went to the Guildhall, where he found
the Mayor and several Magistrates ; not more than 60 or
70 constables assembled in consequence of the sum-
monses. The next step taken to procure the attendance of
the citizens, notices there sent out, but not by witness.
Sending notices to all the places of worship was a
judicious measure, and no measure was snore likely to
collect a civil force. The Magistrates sent witness
and others to the gunsmiths, and witness arranged
with them for the concealment and removal of the guns in
their possession, separating the locks from the guns. That
was about 12 or 1 o'clock on the Sunday. Mr. Fisher's,
Mr. Gillett's, and several other's guns were carried away.
Directions and cautions were given to all the gunsmiths.
Witness was present at the Guildhall in the afternoon.
The number of constables who then attended, he believed,
were not 200. Witness was not aware what could have
been done to assemble a greater force at that time. Theret
was some talk of the military, and a very strong protest
against leaving the citizens to be murdered, unless they
were supported by the military. The llth had then been
sent out of the city. There was no efficient civil force
that would consent to act under the Magistrates without
the assistance of the military. Did not know of any of
the citizens who would act without the military.
'Was present at the discussion between the Magistrates
and Colonel Brereton, about sending out the military. It
was at 11 o'clock, at the Guildhall. The Colon,l applied
for permission to remove the 11th ; he said they had the
misfortune to kill a man on the preceding evening, and
had again fired on the people that morning. That the
people were exasperated against them, and that the only
chance of preserving the peace of the citizens was their re-
moval. A long discussion took place ; Colonel Biereton
urged a variety of reasons for their removal, saying they
were incapable of acting. The Magistrates refused to
sanction their removal, and protested against it. Witness li
said to Colonel Brereton that all the reasons lie had stated
were military ones, and he could not expect the Magistrates
to take the highest responsibility in permitting the 'mea-
sure. Measures were then taken to divide the city
into portions, with deputations for Under Sheriff of
each, upwards of SO in number. Witness finished the
Work about 11 o'clock ; the consideration of the means of
doing it commenced immediately after the breaking up of
the meeting in the Guild-hall. Witness was assisted in
this work by Mr. Taunton the barrister and two other
legal gentlemen. The Under Sheriffs were to apply at
every house, and send the inhabinants to the churches of
the parish. Witness had never heard of such procedings
taking place before in Bristol. Nothing but mischief
Would have re-ul:ed if these measures had been put in
force that night. On Monday morning the Under Sheriffs
Were appointed, they collected the people, and a force was
organised in the different parishes about 10 o'clock
It was impossible for the force to be got together
earlier from their determination not to come- There was
a decided alteration in the disposition of the people on
Monday, who would not even attend there until witness
had assured them the military- had arrived and were in
action. About seven or eight o'clock witness had arranged
for the junction of the Political Union on the side of
the Magistrates, private property being then not only
damaged but actually destroyed. Till the Monday
mornins, in the judgment of the witness, the sla•
gistrates had no means of suppressing the riots,
and could not command any. Did not know what
rnore the Mayor could have done to preserve the peace
of tie city. Witness was at the Bridewell shortly
afer the Magistrates had beets beat b telt. Witness was
stopped by a friend, aho told him his partner had been
murdered, and he would be too if he went. further. Wit-
ness was at this time on the island, and many thousand
persons were assembled. The mob were then at wo, k
With hammers. In the judgment of witness. the Magis
traces had no means of saving the gaol from the mob.
There were 15 or 1G persons iu the gaol charged with
capital offences.
Cross-ex ,mined by the ATTORNEY GENERAL.—Under-
stood Lord Melootiene to wish there should Le as little
display of the military in Bristol as possible. The
hired constables, witness should think, were not known to
the mob, althoug,, they weiecalled bludgeon men. Bludgeon
men are hired at elections in Bristol to keep the peace. It
Was witness's misfortune to fore he became Under Sheriff

to be on the unpopular side of the question. Mr. Pinn• y
Was a popular man, anti took the chair at a meeting to
celebrant the three glorious days of Paris. Witness,
Previous to the entry of Sir Charles, had seen the new
Act of Parliament with respect to special constables.
Could not recollect whetter be saw it first at the
Home-office, but thought it probable he bad- Knew of
his own knowledge of guns having been removed as he had
klentioned. Saw Mr Fis',ers guns on the Sunday, being
removed, and also heard that tt e same had been dote with
Mr. Gillott's. The Political Union had not offered their
services to witness on the Sunday. Did not see Mr. Here-
Path till Monday, when he expressed his regret that he
had not seen witness in the night of Sunday. Had paid,
through the hands of Mr. Herepath and the Commit ee,
upwards of 751. fur the services of the members of the
Political Union for three days, at the rate of 3s. 6tl. per
day each man. Mr. Herep2,th was appointed Under Sheriff.
Re-examined by Sir JAMES SCARLETT—Paid the re-
gular constables about 4s. a day. Witness's first distinct
recollection of having seen the Constahular Act was in
the parlour of the Mansion-house ; but he thought he
had seen it some days before that time. Caine to town to
see Lord Melbourne and Sir Charles on the 19th of Oct.

Daniel Bur gess,7;amined by Mr. FOLLETT—Was one
of the city solicitors of Bristol, and also held the office of
clerk to the Mayor, in which capacity it was his duty to
attend the Mayor whenever he required his assistance.
Accompanied the last witness to London, and was present
at the interview with Lord Melbuurne, but had no recol-
lection of seeing there the Constabulary Act.
By Mr. Justice TAUNTON—Had no recollection when
the Act first came to the hands of the Magistrates of
Bristol.
By Mr. FOLLET—On witness's return to Bristol,
there were several meetings of the Magistrates to consider
of the propriety of augmenting the civil force. Witness
was present when the directions were given to Mr. Hare
to raise 300 constables, and also when he stated that be
could not procure a sufficient quantity, and was ordered
to hire men. Did not go to meet Sir Charles Wetherell,
but accompanied the Mayor to the Guildhall on that
day to meet the Recorder. Witness also went with
them to the Exchange to see the constables, where the
Mayor addressed them, and stated that he trusted
they would do their duty. Witness afterwards went
to the Mansion-house, where he remained till
the military arrived. Was there during the attack that
Was made at the Mansion-house before the arrival of the

Military. The attack was most furious. Witness bad an
excellent opportunity of viewing it, being on the stair-case.
Saw straw took into the Mansion-house. Stood near to
the Mayor when he read the Riot Act, which took place
after the Mayor addressed she mob, While the Mayer

was reading the Riot Act a stone cut a hole through wit-
ness's hat, which very much hurt his head, and a brick-
bat struck his side so severely as nearly to deprive him of
breath. The Mayor sheaved ne terror or alarm,
but acted with the greatest fortitude. After the
military arrived all bec -one quiet for some time,
Between 12 and one o'clock the neighbourhood of the
Mansion-house was perfectly quiet. An arrangement was
made for Mr. Alderman George and Mr. Alderman Gold-
ney to remain with the Mayor the whole night, at the
Mansion-house, with an understanding that all the Ma-
gistrates were to meet the next morning early at the Guild-
ball, the Mansion• house not being in a fit state to receive
them. About six o'clock in the morning witness and
idlr. Alderman Goldney left the Mansion-house and re-
turned to Clifton, all being then in perfect quiet. Had
not then taken the slightest refreshment. The Mayor was
in the drawing-room the whole night. Was at the Mansion-
house when Col. Breretnn arrived ; saw him first in the
drawing room, the Mayor being present. The next day wit-
ness was sent for by the Mayor, who stated that he re-
quired his immediate attendance at the Guildhall. The
only person witness and Mr. Alderman Goldney met on
their way to Bristol, was Mr. Alexander A. Hillhouse.
Saw the Mayor in company with other Magistrates the
next morning. The Mayor was in his Court dress still.
Measures were immediately taken for summoning the people
together, and circulars were sent round for that purpose
to alt the churches. Bristol contained 19 parishes, but
all of them had nut churches. It was also determined to
issue bills, announcing the departure of Sir Charles
Wetherell from Bristol. Another bill was also issued by the
Mayor, stating, " The Riot Act has been read three times.
All persons tumultuously assembling are guilty of a capital
felony." Witness remained at the Guildhall to see the
effect of the summonses that had been issued, but not more
than 100 or 150 persons at most assembled on that day at
any one time. Witness was present at the time some of
the citizens expressed their unwillingness to act without
the aid of the military. Letters were sent to such places
as it was thought would be able to increase the strength of
the military. Witness in the course of the dai requested
the Mayor, in consequence of his having been up the
whole night, and having taken no refreshment, to obtain a
little repose if he could. The Mayor would net admit that
he was at all exhausted, but he appeared to witness to be
so. Witness then said he hoped the Magistrates would
insist upon his returning. Mr. Alderman Daniel stated
that he thought witness's suggestion a very proper one,
and advised the Mayor to adopt it. The Mayor seemed
reluctant, when witness sail it was no use losing time
about it, as he would go to the White Lion and get
a bed for him. The Mayor at last consented to go, and
witness remained at the Guildhall. In about an hour anti
a half, a report having been circulated that it was intended
to attack Bridewell, witness went to the Vi bite Liou to
foch the Mayor, whom he found with his coat and
handkerchief off. The Mayor expressed his readiness to
go, and followed witness to the Guildhall. Another meet-
ing was then held. Two Df the 'Magistrates went towards
the gaol, and witness rernaine I with toe Mayor. Witness
afterwards went with the Mayor to Col. Brereton, in con-
sequence of Aldermen Daniel and Fripps having gone there,
a report having been circulated that the mob intended to
attack the shipping and the banks. Saw Colonel Brere-
ton, who was not there when witness arrived. Mr. Al-
derman Fripp drew up a letter to the Secretary of State,
which witness took to the post, and afterwards
returned to the Colonel's, where something occurred
which induced the Mayor to say he would return to the
Council-house. The Mayor remained at Colonel
Brereton's an hour, during which nothing was said
by him about the means of escape, nothing existing
at that time to cause any alarm. A report that
the shipping was on fire was brought in, but the
Mayor showed no fear whatever. Went with the
Mayor to the Council-house, where there was a report
brought that the mob were about to attack the Bishop's
Palace. Witness proceeded with tile Mayor, Mr. Alder-
man Savage, and about 25 persons to the Bishop's Palace.
S Lee a gentleman whom he knew, anti begged hint to ac-
company them, when be replied, " You know I have valu-
able is, operty of my own, and must stand at my:own ware-
house door." The numbers fell off very much before
they arrived at the Palace, which we could not get within
fifty yards of. Did not remember Mr. Bulwer going there,
but it was stated, " You cannot go to the Palace, the
soldiers are surrounding it." 'Witness then went to Colo-
nel Breteton'ir room, where two of tile Sergeants came in,
stating " They are caught ; they are caught, like a rat in a
trap ;" followina that up by saying, " Come in here."
They were taken into a back-room, from which they dis-
tinctly saw the troops surrounding the doors of the
Palace. Could not tell whether the Mayor was in the
room. In a short time a report came that the soldiers had
left the Palace, and the constables had dispersed, and left
the mob. Siiortly afterwards somebody came and said a large
body of the mob was coming towards the Palace. Witness
went towards the Green, and a man ran by, waving a
cudgel, and exclaiming, the Bishops, down
with the Bishops." Witness heard a violent cheering, as
from a large crowd. As the mob was coming towards Col
Brereton's office, witness felt alarmed, and went into the
office to tell the others to escape. Witness went away
with Sergeant Ludlow. How the Mayar escaped, he
could not tell ; he thought all their lives were in danger
by remaining there. There were no military or consta•
hies to 'protect them. Shortly after, the mob broke in the
Palace and set it on fire. SergeantLuillow and witness, at the
bottom of Park-street, met two or three men who were
very indignant at the conduct they bad met with as con
stables at the Palace. They said they had bet n
deserted by the military, and as it was the second
time their lives had been endangered, they would
give it up. Sergeant Ludlow said, as the pi isoners had
been libel ated, and as he had sentenced them, he thought
that the mob would direct their vengeance against his house
at Clifton, and he requested witness to ao there and arrange
fur the safety (Allis (the Sergeant's) family. He did so. On his
return from Clifton he went to Mr. Frepp's, where he found
the Mayor. The Doddington troop of yeomanry having ar-
rived, witness and Serg. Ludlow went to Col. Brereton's
office,but could not find the Colonel. A roan at the office door
refused them admittance, and appeared to be intoxicated.
The man said the Colonel was not there. 'Witness went back
to Mr. Fripp's to the Mayor, and reported his attempt
to find Colonel Brereton. Witness had heard that an
officer had called on the Mayor for orders for the
Doddington troop, and it was suggested that time Mayor
should write an order to Col. Brereton respecting the troop.
The Mayor in that letter authorized the Colonel to
take what steps he thought proper to restore the peace,
and to consider that order to apply to the troops
then in Bristol anti to any that might afterwards
at rive ; and that the Riot Act had been read three
times. On witness's proposition, the Mayor stated in the
letter that he was to be found at Mr. Tripp's, No. 30.
Berkeley-square, in case the Colonel required the
presence of a Magistrate. Mr. Brice, witness's part.-
tier, was requested to take the letter. The Mayor also
s geed ',diets for the Duddington Troop. Witness then
went home. At halt-past six in the morning, lie went
to the Council house, and saw the Mayor, who ap-
peared to have been up all night. Almost all
the Magistrates were there. He saw Major Beckwith
there, but could not recollect anything that occurred be-
tween him and the Magistrates. During the who'e of
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning, the Mayor did
not show anything like personal fear. it was impossible
for any man to conduct himsclt with more firmness and
propriety than the Mayor did.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL— Wit-
ness was per tectly collected during the wiiiile time ; was
twice in the course of the evening at Colonel Brereton's
office ; could not say that Colonel Breretnn arrived
in the office at six o'clock, while the Mayor and
Magistrates were there ; did not hear the Mayor
assure the Colonel that he did not require the pre-
sence of Colonel Brereton, or indeed to wish it to be
known that he or the Magistrates were there ; nor did
witness hear time Mayor say that he considered Col.
Brereton's office a place of safety; saw a sentinel
at the office-door, but did not hear the Mayor re-
quest a sentinel to be placed there to give timely
lletiee of the approach of the mei). When at the
office be did not hear any thing about getting an
old coat and trowers, and he stay nothing of the
sort come there. Heard Mr. Osborn's name mentioned,
but it was not said that a sergeant should go there for
the coat and trousers. A messenger was sent to Mr.
Osborn. Witness had no intimacy with Mr. Pinney
until he became Mayor, but had known his person for many
years; did not recollect whether he had ever seen Mr.
Pinney on horseback. Never saw him riding a tall horse.
By Sir JAMES SCARLE7T-,-.There were only eight or
ten persons io Colonel Brereton's office ; but they could
not have been tnarshalled to suppress such a. mob.

—Mr. Sergeant LIR was next called, but the Judge
and Jury retired to take some refreshment.

ORKNEY AND ZETLAND.—The register
in Orkney has been made up. There were of claimants
163, of whom 11 withdrew, and two were rejected, leaving
150 new constituency under the new Bill, in addition to
whom 44 were transferred from the old freeholders' Zia,
making an aggregate constituency of 194 in Orkney. It
is understood that 52 have registered in Zetland, so that
the constituency united in the return of the same Member

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 30, 1832.

A messenger was sent to the Hague on Sun-
day, with despatches for our Ambassador, and
a formal summons to the King of HOLLAND
to deliver up immediate possession of the citadel
of Antwerp, and give satisfactory guarantees for
the execution of the other conditions of the
Treaty with Belgium, recommended by the Con-
ference. It was expected that this summons
would reach the King of HoLLAND last night,
or this morning, and as he has only two days to
consider of it, his answer will arrive here at the
latest on Sunday. The statement current in
the City, yesterday, of his having already offered
to give up possession of the citadel of Antwerp,
is wholly without foundation.

A report from Oporto mentions, that imme-
diately Don PEDRO was informed of the extra-
ordinary change of politics in the Cabinet of
St. Ildcfonso, he contemplated a mission to
Madrid. By some it is conjectured that Connie
de VILLE REAL, now in London, will be
ordered by Don PEDRO to proceed shortly to
the Court of Madrid.

Although the con the treaty between
d—i----f
tions
o__
Great Britain and France, for the adoption of
coercive measures against Holland, have not
been published in this country in any official
shape, they have transpired in Paris, and the do-
cument itself will, it is supposed, be published,
in the course of a few days, in some of the Paris
papers. The treaty, after expressing regret that
the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia, have not received full powers to concur
with those of Great Britain and France, in the
measures considered necessary by the Cabinets
of the two countries, binds the Governments
who are parties to the treaty, to the adoption of
the following measures :—First, to demand from
the King of HOLLAND the evacuation of the
citadel of Antwerp, and all the portions of the
Belgian territory occupied by his troops, and
unequivocal assurances that the treaty between
Belgium and Holland, recommended by the
Conference shall he taken into consideration,
with a view to the immediate settlement of the
question, the King of HOLLAND to be allowed
up to the 2d of November for his answer to
this demand. Secondly, in the event of the
refusal of the King of HOLLAND to comply
with the summons of the two Cabinets, a fleet,
composed of British and French ships, under
the command-in-chief of a British Admiral, is
to blockade the Scheldt, and an embargo is to be
laid upon all Dutch vessels in British and French
ports. The French army is to co-operate by
land, if necessary, and the citadel of Antwerp is
to be taken possession of by the French, for the
purpose of delivering it up to the King of
BELGIUM.

There are, we understand, secret articles in

which the French bind themselves to the speedy
evacuation of Belgium, when the object of their
entry into that country shall have been attained.

Such, we are assured by a Paris correspon-
dent, who derives his information from a respect-
able source, are the chief points of the treaty,
which appears to have given great satisfaction in
Paris, and to have produced a rise in the Funds
from the impression that it conveyed of the cer-
tainty of success in any measures cordially
undertaken by the two Governments. It is not
thought in Paris that the King of HOLLAND
will resist the summons ; and we find that our
own Government professes to have equal confi-
dence in the pacific result of this demonstration.
Nous verrons.

We are informed that the United States of
America have succeeded in an object they have
been long pressing upon the Neapolitan Govern-
ment,—the actual payment by the latter of two
millions, one hundred and fifteen thousand pias-
tres, for the indemnity claimed by the subjects of
America.

At a late hour this afternoon we received
German Papers. They contain news from
Constantinople highly unfavourable to the
SULTAN, whose forces are unable to resist the
triumphant march of IBRAHIM PACHA. The
Pacha of EGYPT, who, some time ago,
offered to submit, provided the Government of
Syria were given to him, now spurns all idea of
submission, and insists on the hardest conditions
before he suspends the march of his army.
The only resource left to the SULTAN is to
ask the interposition of England or France.
Our opinion is, that Russia is the secret mover
of the Egyptian revolt, and England had, there.
fore, better look to her own interests in the East
without loss of time :

The Post of this morning contains a long
rambling article vigorously eulogistic of Lord
TENTERDEN, and as vigorously vituperative of
Sir THOMAS DENMAN. The first part is all
light, the last all shade. The one describes
the qualities of a seraph, the other those
of the opposite extreme. We offer, however,
this explanation of our contemporary's diatribe
with great caution and reserve, as men walk
about in fog and darkness, for his meaning
(supposing him to have a meaning) is not very
readily come at, being hid, like the " old Egyp-
tian wit," in " hieroglyphic dress." So far as
we can make out, his object is, by contrasting
the character of the Lord Chief Justice
with that of the Attorney-General, to show
this benighted country, how much it is likely to
lose by the retirement of the one, and how little
to gain by the elevation of the other, to the va-
cant office. This idea is worthy of our contem-
porary, and is executed in a worthy spirit. Ne-
vertheless, his article is not without its defects.
For instance, its estimate of Lord TENTERDEN
is as erroneous as its estimate of Sir T. DEN-
MAN ; moreover, it is less regardful of truth than
is consistent with established etiquette, and goes
considerably out of its way to drop a pious tear
on the grave of the defunct Constitution. But
these are motes in the sun-beam. Besides, what
human production is perfect
Our contemporary is vastly mistaken if he
suppose that Lord TENTERDEN is really the
perfect model that he would fain make him out,
His Lordship is no such thing. He is simply
a good lawyer and an upright man, with no
earthly pretensions beyond these ; and will, we
are sure, be among the first to laugh at the
clumsy idolatry of the Post.
But our contemporary is seldom more fortu-
nate in his praise than in his censure—in his
opinions, than in his mode of giving utterance
to them. He seems perpetually haunted by a
passion for singularity. For instance, " Our
House of Peers," quoth he, "is no longer an
independent estate of the Legislature"—that is to
say, it has no longer the privilege of usurping the
power of the other two estates of the realm ;
" our House of Commons is no longer a fair
representation of the different classes of the
community ; "—that is to say, it is no longer at
the beck of a faction, but has become a mirror,
in which the wants and wishes of the people
will henceforth be faithfully reflected ;—" our
Church is the object of ignorant and malignant
calumny ; "—that is to say, its abuses have grown
to so enormous a height, that from one end of
the country to the other there is a just and na-
tural desire to see them rectified ;—" the heart
of our people is turned aside by the arts of un-
unprincipled agitators;"—that is to say, the
people have at length attained the happy art of
discriminating between their friends and foes.
Such is a sample of one passage picked at
random front the Post of this morning, which,
though it consists of not less than four conse-
cutive, highly elaborated clauses, yet, from the
beginning to the end, contains not one little word
of truth, or even common sense. Ex into disce

The chief incident in the money market
yesterday has been a further rise in Exchequer bills, which
are at 30s. to 315., and in India Bonds, which are at 20s.
to 21s. premium. Money is stated not to be worth, on
the best security, more than I to 11- per cent. ; gold is
coming in rapidly from all parts of the Continent, and the
deposits at the Bank of England are said to be increasing
in a most extraordinary degree. These circumstances tend
to support the funds, in which there is generally much re-
luctance to invest, on account of the uncertain state of po-
liticalaffairs.— Times.

We are informed from a quarter on which we
place reliance, that orders were despatched from the French
Embassy on Sunday, for the immediate march of the
troops into Belgium. They are to remain before Antwerp
for eight days, and to attack at the expiration of that time
should the citadel not be surrendered.—Morrting Pont.
SEVERE FROST.—A letter from Norem-
burg, dated October 20, says :—" On the night of the
18th we had the first frost, which was very sharp. The
thermometer was at 5 deg. below Zero early in the morn-
ing ; the plums on the trees were hard like walnuts, and
even the ripe grapes like leaden bullets. The day before
yesterday all was green and flourishing—now all looks
dead and withered. We hope that the damage may not
pr"te, 80 great as a partial observation gives reason to fear."T
1 OWNSEND one day accosted a popular No-
bleman, by
whom he was much noticed, with the follow-
ink allusion to one of the parties at the Pavilion :—" The
PRINCE and I are going down to Brighton next week. We
shall have a deuced pleasant party ;---BLOOMFIELD, YA tt.
-mount, and I don't know how many more. All the best
fellows in town."
