sort to in this inclement season, arc exposed to
all the miseries of want and disease, and entreat-
ing the Court, as acting under the Act of Parlia-

Mr. GRIFFITHS presented a petition complaining
of tolls exacted in Allhallows, Bakking, by Thomas
'Wood, and praying. the interposition of the Court
to prevent the citizens of London being made
subject to tolls. He spoke at some length in sup-
port of the petition, and entreated the Common
Council f‘ to stand fast in their liberty, lest they

should be cut Angled in the yoke of hondage."—it
was rei.erreil to a Committee of 9 Members.

MUTILATION OF DEAD BODIES.

Yesterday a Court .of Common Council was
held at Guildhall, for the dispatch of general 'busi-

Mr. S. Dixon adverted to an examination which
recently took place at the 'Mansion House, rc-
,specting the cutting Off the head of a woman who
died in St. Thomas's HospitaL He observed,
that as the 'appointment of the Governors of that

"the circumstance,, which was rather a novel one,
should by inquired into.
was of the same opinion. The
transaction was of that nature which called fur
'some investigation.
The Loan MAYOR said, that.the case had come
:before him for examination, but some accounts
of it which appeared in the Newspapers were
considerably .exaggerated.--41ere the matter rest-

Our Readers will recollect that this Paper, and
this Paper only, stated some time ago that mat-
ters seemed ripe for an active display of differences
between Spain and Portugal, and .that the troops
of the former Power, had advanced to the Portu-
guese frontiers. This fact we stated on two oc-
casions. By letters from Lisbon, of the 2d inst.,
in'another column, it appears that there was an
apprehension of an' invasion by the Spaniards.

TILE FUNDS.

In consequence of the reports on 'Change this
morning, that a rupture between Spain and Por-
tugal had taken place, a great sensation was
created ; Consols began fur the account rat 83,
and then fell to-821, they afterwards rose to 824,
Which was the 'nice at twelve o'clock. In addl..
.tion-to the above report, a rumour was circulated
that • orders bad been issued by the Admiralty to
fit out six sail of the line and seven frigates, for a
forergn expedition, which, though 'wholly un-
founded, had an effect upon the Funds.

Lord FOLKSTONE, who seems to be alwayv
anxious to fish in troubled waters, has again
been visiting the County Gaol at Reading ; a►aJ
having ma►fe a complaint against the Keeper,
has procured his dismission. IVe clee►n it impro-

per to say more on the subject,' as the Keeper is

conduct ; in the mean time, however, we may be
allowed to compliment the Noble Lord on his hu-

PORTUGAL.

" OCT. 2.--The packet originally appointed to
take the mail on Friday night, unexpectedly, a few hours
since, announced her intention of having it closed to-night.
Without vouching for its authenticity, -we have to mention
that some post letters of yesterday spoke of an irruption, or
rather entry, of the Spaniards into Portugal at two different
points of our frontiers : as we have had many reports of a
similar nature during the last it months, much attention was
not paid to it, until the extraordinary measure of sending off
the packet so shortly after her arrival, and 24 hours sootier
than was first appointed for her sailing, caused it to he sup-
posed as decided on in consequence of the movements of the
Spaniards. How far this may be the case we cannot take upon
ourselves to say. All that we could find out with certainty is,
that the packet is thus hurried off, inconsequence of Don M.
P. Forjaz's request to our Envoy here, Mr. Ward; but whe-
ther (as many will have it) in consequence of the Spaniards
having actually entered Portugal with an hostile intent, on
the arrival of a vessel after a very short passage, from Rio
(the dispatches by which received for England, Don
Miguel may wish to send forward as quick as possible),
we will not nor can we determine: though we are in-
clined, from many reasons, to think -the latter is the.
most probable, and that the origin of the reports re-
lative to the Spaniards rest in the :strong measures
which the latter observe in preventing the introduc-
tion of contraband goods into their kingdom from the Portu-
guese frontier. It is difficult to suppose that the Spaniards
would undertake a war at this moment; and a war would in-
evitably be the consequence of their eodeavouring to take
possession of Portugal, though it should be sanctioned by
Treaty, which, notwithstanding the various reports that
, have been spread on the subject, hardly appears poll-
.6;hle. Depeesstal as the natives are, and dissatisfied with
the absence of the Royal Family, they -do not stem in-
clined-to put up with any government that would be forced

upon th.em.7
" 2.—This packet goes off express; the
Cause is unknown to us. Some say it is believed a Spanish
force IS approaching the frontiers of this kingdom it is not
certain- Others think it may be to advise the death of Sousa,
a Nieni.berl of the Regency.
.The Baron Quiutilla also died
yestertlay.”

ANOTHEit LETTch•—" I trust I shall not mislead.you when
I tell you that the S;ianiards have invaded us iu three divi-
sions, and art rapidly advancing. They have wirb some po-
licy waited until our troops have been reduced in numbers,
and our people out of humour. The Regency, we learn, is
in a bestir ; but the public, of course, are ignorant of what
is going on. That the three divisions of the Spaniards con-
sot of 15,000 meµ each, and Out 9,000 of the troops were

till some time after the various manufactory din-
ner bells had ruttg,:, in order to wait for the coin-
patty which that event might leave at liberty to
attend for about an hour. At length the sun
shone out -.and 'reformed the weather, and a few
additional persons dropped in t. the opportunity
was not to be lost, And the managers again
ed. A reasonable time was allowed for medita-
tion, and
Mr. M'Aostarose —lle advanced to the rail in
front, with suitable solemnity, where having
placed his hands, and shit his eyes, he cleared up
and spoke. Ile said, with pleasure he rose to ad-
dress such a respectable assembly as that which
he then saw before him. If he judged right, the
whole who was then assembled around him, was
met for one purpose. &c. &c. &c.; fur we cannot
follow this Orator upon whose Address the Car-
lisle Patriot, front which excellent Paper we select
this report. observes—
" The worthy gentleman delivered his senti-
ments %sit(' a gravity and solemnity not to be
described ; he turned his head from side to side,
in the manlier of a Chinese image, but his bends
rein tined immoveable and his eyes were closed,
or nearly so, the whole, time. In the course of
his speech, independently of murdering the King's
English, he made several unfortunate slips, which
moved every muiele but his own. His whole ap-
peurance indicated a st we of abstraction, and thrice,
instead of saying Fellow-men (the favourite
phras,.) or Fellow-countrymen,'• he celled them
My Dear Fellow Starters !' However true it
might be, it certainly wAs rather seal-appropas."
Air. STUART ELLIOT. Ml'. GREGSON, and Mr.
JItRCMIAH 'kW aforesaid, made sundry Speeches
in introducing the cnstont'at y documents from the
Cartwright aml Co. Loudon Factory, and now so
well known in the shape of Resnlntions and Veti-
tions, all which., were ratified by the Meeting.
Thus ended (says the Jourmil we have quoted)
the Carlisle Reform Meeting, which was to make
an impression from Otte end' of the kingdom to
another ! 'lf we say that 550 persons, including
men, women, and children, were in attendance,
we are sure we shall over-rate the number. More
than one-third of those in attendance were lads
mirkr the age of 'eighteen, and, of course, "the
greatest portion of them apprentices. Their con-
duct .throughout the. Meeting was orderly and
peaceable, and they separated almost immediately
after the business concluded: very few signed the
petitions on the ground, though three tables with
pens and ink were prepared for the purpose. The

" tie best can paint them, who can feel them most."-
'Tis not the loud, obstreperous grief,n
That rudely clamours for relief—
ens not the ilueraious Isment,
In which Impatience seeks a vent—
'Tis not the soft, pathetic style,
Which aims oar pity to beguile;
That can to truth's keen vye impart
The real sorrows" of the heart!

No the tear, in secret shed
, Upon the starving infant's head;
The sigh, that will not he repress'il,
Breathed on the faithful- part ner's breast;
The hurSting heart, the imploring eye, -.
To Itefte'n upraised in agony,
'With starts of desultory prayer, ,„ . •
While hope is quenching in despair;
The throbbing temple's burning pain.
While Phrenzy's send usurps the brain;
These are the traits, an art can borrow,
Of genuine suffering and sorrow !

;A:6;1) !n ill,: i -'pt' of t'a,ia.iitg the .tt-,
te'lttioa .vesels near -; but it Was nut until
after daylight on the 20th that several vessels were
seen approaching, many of which were after-
wards directed to stay by the Meander, in the
event of its 'being necessary to quit her. The
wind and tide being fair for Sheerness,t he ettble was
cut, and sad made by the OilleCt'S, it tint being pos-
sible to remove a matt front the pumps at this
moment the leaks had increased, bat two sails,
which had been fitted with thrums, were then
dropped over the bows, and had a wonderful
effect in checking the leaks. At noon, 011 the
ship's arrival within signal distance of Sheerness,
her distressed state was Made known, and the
greatest and must prompt assistance wits imme-
diately afforded by the Captains of the different
ships, tht Hon. Commissioner Boyle, with the
officers and men under their respective commands ;
but it was not until the 22d, with all the skill
and exertions employed, that the ship was safely
secured in dock. On examination it was
ascertained, she had carried away the whole of her
fore-foot, about ten foot of her larboard garbed
streak, and a great part of her false and main
keels ; and While these alarming and serious tic-
kets evidently ditty what must have been the ex-
ertions at the pumps, for npwards of 20 hours be-
fore any personal assistance could be afforded,
they also. most satisfactorily prove what gracious
goodness and mercy must have been vouchsafed
to them by that Almighty Being whose arm alone
Can save the wanderers of the trackless deep."---
The Meander is °I tiered by the Admiralty, to be
fitted with all possible dispatch, and the people of
Sheerness Dock-yard are directed to earn as much
money as they can in repairing her. •

NAVIGATION AND nifiERY ON THE RIVER LEA.
—Yeterday Charles Miller was brought before
the Sitting Liagistrate, charged with illegally hav-
ine fished on the River Lea. This river abounds
.with all kinds of fresh water fish, and which was
prdteeted by the statute of Geo. 11.1 7. s. 54,
sod the U)th, cap. 58, which proVides, that any
person found fishing, or destroying fish, in the
waters of certain parts of this river, will forfeit a
fine of 51. unless he is .anthodzed by the proper
and right proprietors of the fisheries so to do.—
The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 51.

hfrORTANT TO MAGISTRATES. -Power to commit
Peryous for want of Sureties to give Evidence against
Offenders.—At the last -Assizes for the County of
Cornwall, Mr. Baron Graham strongly reprobated
the practice7of committing- persons to gaol who
were unable to find sureties for their appearance
to give evidence in, prosecutions. In such cases,
Magistrates (his Lordship observed) had no doubt
been misled by custom, and he had not the most
distant idea of imputing blame to them ; but he
felt it his duty to state, that the Law of Eng-
laud, •which was always jealous of the liberty of
the subject, did not allow any person's liberty to
be. restrained in that manner. He comld find no
authorised precedent for the practice. Magistrates
must be content with the evidence they can obtain
in a legal manner ; and if a poor man is unable
to find. sureties, he most be discharged tsu his own
recognizance.
PARISH ACCOUNTS.—A very excellent plan has
been adopted by the township of Northallerton,
viz. to publish an abstract of the annual accounts
of the Overseers of the Poor ; by which the pa-
rishioners may see, at one view, a statement of
the receipts and disbursements of each year. The
abstract also contains the names of objects re-
lieved, from which aireidea may be fOrmed. of the
worthiness of each person so assisted ; and an op-
portunity is,thereby afforded for-the detection of
',lle most highly beneficial effects
are expected to arise to the township from this
system, which is worthy general adoption,'

Alit. EDITOX;—Your Corresirmident Mr. Nes-
BtTT admits, 'elf the circulating medium Of the
country %vas increased, things, would be at once
placed on a ground the most beneficial. to .the
general inrerests ;" yet be appeals to deny the
possibility of an increase, except by the creation
Of bank-limes, or the introduction of the precious
metals.

Is not this contrary to the known fact, that a
prodigious amount of private paper has been
withdrawn, and thereby the circulating meditim is
greatly lessened ? and may not this be again i•ntro-
(limed, by the deposits which may be made' at the
Provincial Banks, of Stock debentures ?, It is a
question whether fifty millions of country notes
may not have been cancelled since the present
distress has prevailed.
'ln the words of Mr. Nesbitt, "1 confess my-
self at a loss to conceive " how a person can be
so in love with the "interior " of the Consol
Office as not to perceive, that the transfer of a
security of the nature of an Exchequer-Bill
more easy than waiting the issue of comparing
balances.among the Bank Clerks, and the parade
attending the attestation of Stock transfer.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, AUG. 29.—Our plantation has n ot•
improved, and though there is a, probability that
the plant may partially revive, yet the prospect l.
at present so unpromising, that almost unprece
dented prices are given ; good. 1815's average
271. per cwt. ; and on Saturday a very curious
sample was sold in our market at' the enormous
rate of 30 guineas! but this of course is a soluary
instance. A letter from Herefordshire received
yesterday, states that the frosty rights have been
very injurious, and that very little blossom is to be
seen. The accounts from Kent and Sussex are not
better ; some planters on badlands have even
pulled and stacked their poles atid sown turnips
it is, however, acknowledged that on rich lands an
improvement has taken
.place. The planter has,
sold the whole of his growth to the dealer at 231.
Per cwt.—The duty on the kingdom now varies-
between 70 and 73,0001.

George, the tith son of Mr. Samuel Philbrick, of Great Dun,
mow, Essex. The cause of his premature death originated
at school, from a dangerous practice; to prevent which the
strictest orders • should be given, 'and most rigorously en-
forced ; we allude to little boys endeavouring to carry on their
backs those larger than themselves; in doing se this youth
received an injury in the hip, which brought on a wound, with
which he suffered for many months, and notwithstanding
every medical assistance was resorted to, in the end it proved
mortal. This may be received as an useful caution by school-
masters and parents, and syq Lippe it wilt be properly attended
to.
