staliment of his committal to Lancaster Gaol; and

6' Swan inn, Bolton,Lai.dshire—Sunday Evening.
" MY DEAR SIR— 1 am this moment arrived
tete on my way back to Manehesttr. Thr last
lastardly"trick ot the judicial murdereis, in send-
ng us off to Lancaster Castle, under the tuliow-
Ing will complete their character
for any thing but justice.
" We were brought up for a hearing on Fri-
day about one o'clock, and after having heti) told
that the charge of High Treason was given up for

the present, but not abandoned, that they should
go into the charge for a Conspiracy and Seditioo.
Well, four or five fellows were examined sepa-
rat.ly, after bearing their former depositions read
over to them. When, on their exatnination, they
every one contradicted not only each other, but
their own depositions, in the most material parts,
if there were any material points. However, the
worthy Magistrates, although vasly calmed down

since I sAwtlittn lasi, after consulting in a private
room with Mr Bouciiigß, Solicitor for the Crown,

the Prosecutor, determined to bold us to bail. tor_
a conspiracy and sedition ; and really if these
sante Magistrates are to be the CrAnd Jury at Lan-
caster, I should not be at all surprised if tht-y find
a true bill aitainst us for sheep-stealing upon the
very sante evidence, for really it wilt be quite as
applicable to the one offence as the other. How-
ever, Jobnsou and 'Moorbonse were bailed out
itnnieutafily, and good bail was offered for me;
ba as 1 w‘s very hot with the exertion of toot

no as in the mu,,t crowded Court, 1 retired to
chaug, nay limn to ducat: for that purpose, but
before I had done this. I
,was informed by the
turnkey that hts was very sorry, but that there
was an orthr come that I must lie ready to go:to
Lancaster iu three minutes. I had not time t vett

to take a cup of tea, or get clean linen, before
I was hurried down into. the yard, where I met
my fellow-prisiincrs, who had not been yet 'nailed,
and who had been hand-cuffed and booed, and we
were catnmed, some, in, and others ott a coach,
and off we went, escorted by about thirty of the
15th Hussars, to Bolton, wnere theme was a re-
lay' of tile cavalry, who conducted us to Black-
burn, from thence to Preston, and on to Lancas-
ter by some more hussars, all with drawn swords,
i&c. We enteted the prison at half-past tour in
the morning; at seven at night 1 was crammed
into a felon's dungeon, awl wa, just got into my
first sleep, on my iron bedstead and straw bed,
when a Gentleman who ban followed me' came
in a chaise and four, to say that my bail had been
justtfied at Manchester. I left the horrid hastile,
mad strpt at the Inn in Lancaster.
" Uu arriviag at Preston this slay, about two
o'clock, the Authorities have witnessed such a
scene of enthusiasm, which was continued at
every place we passed.; not less than 20,000 per-
sons have conducted us here, hating taken the
horses out of the coach. the accounts of the
immense nambers collected on the road to Man-
chester are such, [flat I hem it prudent, to avoid
accident, to delay nay return into that town till
to-moriow. There are 10,000 people round the
Inn, who say they will protect cup all night. It'
haste. Your's, Stc.

" H. HUNT."

The first person tried on account of the late
proceedings in , the manufacturing districts, will
be John Adanzso►z, at the Lancaster Assizes, which
commence ilia day. He stands committed for
" having assumed the character of a delegate or
representative at a public meeting, unlawfully
convened and held neat Burnley ; and with having,
in the character aforesaid, at the said meeting,
used certain seditious expressions with intent to
excite contempt and disrespect to the Laws and
Constitution of the realm, and with having in his
possession, with intent publish, certain seditious
and libellous papers and writings, tending to vilify
the Constitution in Church and State."—(nmes)

Advices have been received from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 20th of May, which state,
that the Caffres, detested in all their efforts,
would probably not find themselves able or wil-
ling to renew their aggressions for a considerable
thne.—The scarcity of provisions at the Cape was
so great, the Governor had thought it prudent to
limit the consumption nut only among the troops
but the inhabitants, until the arrival of supplies
from England. In consequence of this intelli-
gence, Government have dispatched 1000 barrels
of flour to St. Helena, which has hitherto de-
rived its provisions almost exclusively from the
Care of Good Hope.
The Earl GOWER passed through Itiv ern ess on
Thursday week, on his way to Dunrobin. Ac-
cording to rumour the other branches of the
Noble Family
of STAFFORD are to follow, tomeet
the .illuvrions visitors expected at the Castle
during the autumn.
11.131NBURGEI, AUGUST 2S.—Yesterday morning
Ralph \Voodness, who was convicted before the
High Court of Justiciary on the 19th ult. of
house•brcaking at Linlithgow, was conveyed in a
coach to that place tor execution, pursuant to his
sentence. He was accompanied thither by the
Revereod Mr. PORTROUS and a Sheriff's offi-
cer, and, leached that place about nine o'clock.
--The necessary preparations had been made
in the morning to carry' the sentence into exe-
cution, and a scaffold was erected at the Cross.
It being market-day, a great crowd were, of
course, assembled, and witnessed the melan-
choly scene, which is of rare occurrence in that
town. About two, the unfortunate young man,
attended by the Reverend Mr. Poa-reous and
the Magistrates, proceeded to the fatal spot,
where, atter spending a short time in prayer, he
was launched into eternity.
