Tug Furgns,—lt is said there is a very strong
parry in the Stock Exchange who are interested
in depressing !he Funds, they having sold a quan-
tity of Stock at low prices. These operations this
morning produced a fall of rather more than a
half per cent. Cons° were marked as done at 81
for the A,rounr, although there was only about
1,0001. sold at that price. Several Brokers having
3f•erwards come in to buy, the Market rose ra-
pidly, and at twelve o'clock the prices were, for
the August Account, Si H.

A Letter from a Gentleman in Lord AMIIERST's
Suite, dated Batavia, 3el March, states—" The
114r/6:cell, Providence, And Sovereign, were to sail
front Cat ton about a fortnight after us (the Al-
cute sailed 28th January, and from Manilla 9th
February). Vcsiels have been sent to the Straits
of Lundy, by order of the Governor in Council,
to intercept and bring them here to convey us
home: Should we miss these ships by any chance,
there are two more to sail from China after them,
viz. the Werford and Elphiu.slone."

The Marquis of Ely and Scalehy Castle East In-
diatnen, which arrived the 4th ult. sailed from
China the 24th of January.

The Rosalie, limn Cuba, arrived at Cadiz the
4th inst. after being taken and plundered on the
29.1 t ult. by the lndelieudence of the South and
another insurgent I,rivateer.
The Dido, lIERENTWING, from Bourdeaux,
was captured the 24th ult. off Ushant, by a Tuni-
sian corvette an.l schooner (which were detained
and sent into the Downs), and carried into Co-
ruuna the 4 b inst. front whence they intended to
proceed to Tunis with their prize.

The acquittal of 1111iitiLEY, accused of having
administered an unlawful oath at Glasgow, of
which our Readers will find a full account in Tna
SUN of this day, has naturally excited exultation
in the Party Writers, who cannot conceal their
joy when any persons charged with attempts
to overthrow tl►e Government have the good luck
to escape. The Chronicle, of course, takes the
lead in thus triumphing over those who, upon
strong grouudi, direct prosecutions against persons
charged with such atrocious attempts. It is asto-
nishing with whit credulity the Chronicle listens to
any accusations against the Officers employed by
Government, and with what scepticism it attends to
accusations against those who, upon the most rea-
sonable presumptions, are pot upon trial for the
most daring acts of Sedition and Treason. Such is
the case with the Chronicle, and because a fellow
named CASIPBSW., who was called as a witness, tells
a long story, which is probably a lie front beginning
to end, the credulous Chronicle believes every
syllable, poor innocent Paper, not conceiving
that this CdimPLIELL may be an artful fellow who
knew, or had reason to hope, that his narrative
would render him an incompetent witness, and
that as such he would be dismissed by the Court.
By the testimony of tire other witnesses, it was
proved that an unlawful oath, or bond, as they
called it, was introduced among a set of
formers, and that they assented by holding up
their hands ; but the proof was not brought;
home to 11`NPrwrY, and he was therefore ac--
quitted. But we find by the address of Lord
Chief Justice. CLERK to the Prisoner, after his
acquittal, that his Lordship considered the Pri-
soner as actually guilty, adnurtris!►ed hint to pur-
sue a better course, and signified, that though he
was acquitted he would carry a brand on his cha-
racter. Will the Public put the opinion of the
Morning Chrohicle against that of a high Law Au-
thority, who presided on the Trial, and was'so well
qualified by learning, abilities, and experience,
as well as by a patient bearing of the case, to form
a proper jodgment The comparison would be
in the highest degree indecent and absurd.—But
we find that the prisoner himself expresses his
thanks for the kindness which he had received
from the Loin) ADVoCATE, and therefore there
is an additional reason for distrusting the narrative
of CattraELL, who declared his repugnance to state
his sufferings iu confinement 1 Why should he
have such a repugnance ? It is natural for the
oppressed to complain, not to suppress complaint.
The probability is, that if he had been permitted
to complain by the Court, lie would only have
added more falsehoods to his story, Y,et this is
the titan, au accomplice too, upon whose test in►ony
the credulous Chronicle relies, as an irreiragable
proof of the innocence of M`KINLEY.

We bad nei,her time nor space to notice an
article
_which appeared in a Morning Paper of
yesterday relative to the Prisoners in Gaol at
Reading. Tke. article appeared in the Times
Newspaper, a Paper that once 'firmly, but with
a stew of independence, gave its:Sul-olioll to-1 0..:
vernment, but which now seems to be decidedly
and bitterly hostile to all its measures. The
Paper in question begins its observatimis on this
subject in the following manner A very in-
teresting occurrence has taken place in the County
of 'Jerks, with respect to the State Prisoners, a 5
they are culled, confined in the Bridewell, Peni-
tentiary House, or County Gaol, at Reading."
Now what are the Prisoners in question but Slate
Prisoners ? The very commencement of the
article therefore betrays a captious spirit which
promises little candowr and justice in its pro.
gross. Here it spews ignorance, or pretends
:o be mistaken. It then commits a patvable
mistake - in calling Lord Fout.sToNo a riszt-
ing' Magistrate, which is not the tact. The
Noble Lord, who seems always to be wishing to
fish in troubled :paters, wanted, indeed, to. render
himself a visiting Magistrate, by officiously goitag
to the Gaol and demanding admittance, without
dud authority, stud because he Was rclusetl;t bought

piltp;:r tit bring (be matteriuto Parlimerd. What
was the consequence—the House of Comnrtns,
by its decision on his Lordship's Motion, folly
Justified the order originally given by Lord Sin-
Not.mr, who, as the Public will recollect; pro-
ceeded with sound discretion and regar,l for
the Law, the Constitution, and the tranquillity of
the Country, by consultiog the Law Officers of
the Crovin, who gave their entire sanction to the
of the measure. As to the visiting Magis-
trates, one anti all, they are certainly full as te-
speetable in private character as Lord FOLKS I ONC,
and es little disposed to turn a deaf ear to Huy
reasonable complaint, or give their sanction to
any 'injustice. His Lordship's Motion in Par-
liament was for the production of Lord Sin-
eitotmes orders, denying access to all but
the visiting Magistrates. But if such orders
bad not been given, meddling Magistrates, of
qiie Reforming description, though, we trust,
iliere are -very few of such in the country,
might also have thought proper to follow the
exantple of his Lordship, and intrude into a Gaol,
for an inspection of which most respectable Ma-
gistrates were specially appointed. The Paper,
with a fine affectation of sensibility; then says,
these Prisoners " were entirely put out of the
pale of humanity, in a Way that makes the heat t
tremble that but conteniPlates their possible situa-
tion." The word possible was well introduced,
for it has great weight and meaning in this place,
though it is totally at variance with truth, for
the Visiting Magistrates are full as attentive
to the calls. of justice Joni humanity as Lord
FOLKSTONE, or auy of his political pe elanx,
though they may not be so constantly in pwrsuit
of popularity. 'The next misrepresentation of
the Paper in question, whether wilful or not the
Writer best knows, is, that the visiting Magis-
trates were denied access to the Prisoners. Offi-
cious and Reforming Magistrates, if any,, might,
indeed, be denied access, but not the Magistrates.
especially- appointed to that duty.—There are
other points of political cant in the Paper alluded
to, which we pass over to come to what it calls
" a my interesting occurrence," but which we
conceive will be deemed by all rational and good,
subjects a very extraordinary one: Lord FOLK-
remit addressed -a written co.lplaint to the Quar-
ter Sessiott,• alleging his having been. refused
admission to the Gaol. The Magistrates, in eon-
sequence, threaten the Gaoler, that if he obeys
the order of the SECRETARY of STATE, in prefer-
ence to their assumed authority, he shall be dis-
missed front Isis office. The Gaoler solicits time
to deliberate, in 'order to make an appeal to the
SECILETAKY of STATE, and is allowed ONE HOUR !
The'poor man, afraid of losing a situation, in which,
by all accounts, be has conducted himself properly
in every relpect, submits, and is suffered to re-
tain his post. The Magistrates have favoured
the Paper in question with their Advertisement,
containing their Resolutions on the subject. Now
these Magistrates form only a very small part of the
general Body of the County Magistrates, and car-
ried their Resolutions in a hugger mugger manner,
unknown to the rest. But this is not all. These
resolving Magistrates set up their own judgment
against the opinions of the CROWN LAWYERS,
supported by the best Law Authorities, men too
respectable to give opinions contrary to a con-
scientious couviction of their legality, but also to
the decision of the House of Commons.—lt
is impossible that the matter should rest here.
The great body of Magistrates must come for-
ward and avow their tiissent from these extraor-
dinary proceedings, for the honour of the Coun-
ty, and not suffer any body, whatever his tank,
to begin a general system of modern Reform in 1
Berkshire.

REFORM FESTIVAL.--.-It is stated that the rabble
Refornsers, who hare escaped from the

good Government, is to be thefice-President.
