The German Rtfotmers are chiefly into of great
knowledge and learning, with a spirit determined
to procure, if possible, a Representative Govern-
ment through the whole of the German Domi-
nions. It is certain, however, that they are very
different from the Revolutionary Miscreants who
ruined the French Monarchy, and se moderate in
in their political views, that if they possessed
a sixth part of that freedom which English-
men enjoy, they would be contented, and
nut attempt to distill!) the Government. Their
views are • chiefly opposed by the Nobility,
but many of that order are so much enlightened,
and so convinced of the danger of attempting to

thwart the progress of political knowledge, and to
perpetuate the restraint now suffered by the Peo•
ple, that they have enib.►rked in the cause of those
who are supposed to have determined to obtain a
Representative Government.

The conviction of a man at the Warwick As-
sizes, for publishing a Parody on the Litany,
seems to have excited much surprise in The Bri-
tis4 Press, because HONE was acquitted for the
same offence by a London Jury. With every
feeling of respect for the conscientious motives of
that Jury, we cannot but think that fIoNE had a
very lucky escape, and that the Warwick Jury,
though the verdict was different, viewed the case
with the same conscientious purity. But Irreli-
gion has taken a greater and more alarMing stride,
even since the acquittal of HONE ; and it be-
comes still more the duty of our countrymen
to guard our Establishment in Church and State,
lest the Empire should sink into the pipits of
Atheism and Anarchy.—While we mention the
name of lioNa, %se feel it to be our duty to state,
that, from what we bear, he has renounced all his
political errors, attends to his business, and con-
ducts himself as a respectable tradesman should
do, with a due regard io the welfare of his tamily,
and a full s,nse of the excellence of that Consti-
tution which knows no distinction of persons, but
administeri impartial justice to the community at

If we may credit the following statement re-
ceived yesterday, the South American Patriots
have. obtained a decisive victory over the
Royalists :

" On the 12th of June, General Marino, with 1300 men,
fought a corps of 1500 Spaniards, at Cantauta, near San
Diego (about five days' journey from Angostura). The Pa-
triots gave way at first, when the General seized a standard
and led them on again to the important, the awful contest—
a contest which ended in the Destruction of the Royalists
One thousand bodies, dead and wounded, remained upon the
field of battle. Arms, standards, ta umpets, drums, medicine
chests, papers—all fell into the hands of the victorious Inde-
pendents?'

CORN-EXCUANGE, AUG. 18.—We had but little
English Wheat at Market to-day, for which Mon•
day's prices were obtained, but the trade was heavy
in consequence of the continuance of fine weather,
and an expected increase of supply of new Wheat ;
Oats fully support Monday's prices ; fine Barley
is more inquired after, hut there is no dematid for
the inferior qualities.—lu Beans and Peas there is
no alteration.

IMPORTANT TO MAGISTRATRS —By en Act re-
ren! ly passed for amending the Laws respecting
the Settlement o[. the Poor, no Pelson can acquire
a Settlement unless by renting an house or land
of the annual value of 101 , and bona fide hired
by such Person. We refer our Readers to the Act
i!self (passe() on the 24 nit.) which is very con-
cise, for further particulars. It is calculated to
obviate a great proportion of the Litigation
hitherto attendant nit Settlement Cases.
WINDSOR, AUG. 17.—Lord St. HELBN's, as R

THE DUCHESS or• KENT'S BlitTH-DAY...—Yes•
terday being the Duchess of KENT'S Birth..day,
the Doke made arrangements for rejoicings on
the occasion. In the morning, at half,.pa-t six.
O'clock, the Princess Feoclor, attended by her
music-master and the nhole of the domestics,
was in the room adjoining the Duke and Duchess's
bed-room, to serenade her Royal Wither with
" God save the King." In the course of the day
several distinguished characters called at the Pa-
lace, 'to leave their names and dutiful respects on
the happy return of the day. Their Royal High-
nesses had a dinner party in honour of the day.
Among the company were,,the Duke of Sussex,
the Princess Augusta, the Duchess of Gloucester,
the Duchess of Yo►k, and the Princess Sophia
Matilda. After dinner, the company adjourned
to the apartments of the Duke of Sussex its the
Palace, where his Royal [lightness entertained
them with tea, coffee, &c. and a select concert,
under the direction of Sir George Smart, who pre-
sided at the grand pianoforte.

HAYMARKET.--We have alreadV noticed the
representation of The Heir at Law at this Theatre.
It was represented again last night with not less
suceess and we ought to notice, in addition to
what we said in favour of the rest of the perfor-
mers, that CONNOR gave alt excellent portrait of
the faithful old servant Kenrick. The play was
followed by the'whimsieal comedy-of Exit by Mis-
take, the performers of which, TERRY, JONES,
RUSSELL, WILKINsoN, antl Mrs. GIBS, gave
strong support to their respective characters. The
only novel performance was J. Russaid. in
Crockery, and, excellent as ToKELEY was, his
successor rendered the character very prominent,
and was much applauded. The character is
wholly extravagant, but there is something enter-
taining in his ludicrous misery. Miss BEAUMONT,
who is a very improving young Actress, was suf-
ficiently spirited in Harriet.—The Theatre was
again crowded at an early hour.

WAttnE, it seems, is so great a favourite at
Bath, and has so many respectable connexions
in that City, that though he has had overtures
trot» London Managers, he has determined to re-
tain his station in tl►,e ancient realm of Kin;
BLADUD.
Miss O'l RILL, it is said, cleared not less than
two thousand five hundred pounds by her Dublin
engagement, from which city she and Mr. C.
KEMBLI3 proceeded to Belfast, and from thence
cross over to Scotland, to fulfil their engage-
ments at Glasgow and Edinburgh.

UN I 0 A LL.—Murder Confessed. —Yes terdav
morning, about 3 o'clock, a man, who stated lets
name to be Thomas Wood, called at the watch-
house of the Surrey-road Trust, where he informed
Haskett, one of the patrol, that he had been guilty
of murder, and requested he might be taken before
a Magistrate, for the purpose of making con-
tession, and stating particulars. Haskett ac-
cordingly brought him to the office, where he with
great composure informed Mr. Allen, that on the
6th of Jime last, while at Leicester, he called on
David Evans, a cobbler in Bank-street, in that
town, and requested he would scud hint one of
his long knives, which he did ; he then called on
a young woman named Mary Stain, wbo lied
with her friends in Bank-street, and asked her to
take a walk with hint. they went into the Ab-
bey-meadow, where, near a stone-wear, and whet e
there was a considerable depth of water, be stab-
bed her under the left breast, when she dropped
down and died. He was remanded.
SHOCKING BIWTALITY.-0o Saturday se'n-
night, Edward Best, lately a baker in North-lane,
near Canterbury, was committed to Westgate
gaol, by the Mayor, charged on the oath of Sarah
Best, his daughter, aged 13 years, with having, on
Thursday evening, committed a violent assault on
her, by hanging her with a rope to a beam in the
garret of his house, in the parish of St. Mary.
Northgate. The evidence adduced against the
prisoner was of the must heart-rending descrip-
tion we ever heard of, detailing such acts of cruel-
ty and brutality to his -unhappy children, that no
one could possibly believe a human being could
' have been guilty of. Added to other acts of in-
, famous bat barit y, it appears titis wretch ha.s been
in the habit of stripping his four children naked,
three of whom are younger than the complainant,
and unmercifully flogging them in that state with
a leather thong whip, for the most trifling of-
fences ; and in one instance, previous to Thurs-
day, he absolutely ht, rg up two of his poor
children by the neck, and lett them in that state
till the little innocents were in a state of stran-
gulation. The constables had great nifficulty in
keeping the enraged populace from theiretson of
the prisoner, in conveying him for ex,ithination.
We sitcerely hope he will meet his due punish-
ment, and not again be stiff:red to be at Jorge to
eNtrcise the sant: bruta:ity,----(3./(ti&•Nr:e,,,Tcureu/2;

MANCHESTER MEETING.

SECOND EDITION orwini NEW TIMES.'

Manchester, Monday Night, Eleven a' Clock.
The town is now in peace and quietness for
the moment, but !threats of vengeance are predo-
minant in a very great degree. Since my for-
mer communication I have visited the Infirmity
of this town, and ascertained, precisely, the
number of tictims who have fallen in this
cause. The number of wounded ,men ay be
stated, at a moderate calculation, at Iffhty.--
One unfortunate victim is a Gentleman of the
name of HULMK, who is a resident of the town
of Manchester, and an individual of great pro-
perty, as well as respectability, and has only
been a few months- married. He was in the
charge that surrounded the hustings, and some
miscreant aimed a blow at him with a brick,
which had effect, and levelled him with the
grottod., and in the fall he fractured his skull,
which will ultimately be his death : be lingers at
present in great agony. Three persons are el-
ready dead.
After the Meeting, the populace assembled in
great mobs at New Cross, a place which is in-
habited by the Irish, and of desperate character ;
their conduct was such as to require the inter-
ference again of the military, whose presence
proving ineffectual, they were compelled- to
,luhave recourse to coercive measures, and fired ass
-the deluded multitude, the consequence was, that
one person was shot' through the hack part of the
skull, the wound of which is mortal ; another is
this moment undergoing amputation in the leg;
and several other persons are carried to the In-
firmary dreadfully wounded. It is really distress-
ing to be witness of this awful necessity ; but the
only circumstance that can reconcile our feelings
to it is, that it will ultimately be attended with
beneficial effect.

The mob in New Cross proceeded to great
lengths, and actually broke open a shop in the
neighbourhood, and every respectable person who
happened to be passing was stoned.
Had it not been' for the interference of Mr.
NaulN, the Deputy Constable, whom these
men have particularly calutnniated, it is certain
that HUNT would not now have been ailve,
for the military were determined to cut him to
pieces. The loyal inhabitants of Manchester,
and loyal they certainly are, felt themselves
imperEtively called upon to rescue the town
from the odium east on it by the toleration of
these meetings. It is solely from such feeling
that they have acted ; and, in so doing, they have
certainly set an admirable example to the com-
munity at large; for tliough irritated to a very
Ligh degree, they have conducted themselves on
this unhappy oecasion with the greatest temper.
once and moderation.

Half past Eleven o' Clock .—I have this mo-
ment tvalked round the Town, and find it at pre-
sent perfectly quiet ; the military are parading the
streets, and will not .snfifer three persons to as-
semble together ; they expect the return of these
Reformers to-morrow-, which, if it takes place,
%kill he attended with serious consequences, for
the Police and Military arc resolute and deter.
mined.

The Magistrates found it necessary at New
Cross to read the Riot -Act, and it was subsequent
to that that the above proceedings took place.—
The Military and Police were greaily insulted and
stoned, ere they attempted tO tire, and even after
that, they continued throwing stones at them,
suppo,ing the cartridges were blank.
A riot of the same description took place at
Deansgate, which, howcver, has been quelled, and
the town may be said to be at,rresent quiet.

FURTHER PARTICULARS RELATIVE TO THE SEI-
ZURE GF THE RIOTERS.
Soon after 12 o'clock, the Mir4islrates and a
body of constables repaired to the ground, to
which the brigaded Reformers had marched, and
In consequence of depositions made before sevetal
of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace, by many
of the most respectable inhabitans of the towns of
Manchester and Salford, in which they stated
their apprehension of riot and tumult, as the pro-
bable consequence of such an assemblage of per-
sbus twin distant townships, marched thither un-
der banners so explicit of rebellious intentions,
the Riot Act was read, but it did not appear to
be much attended to by the infatuated crowd,
who continued to scowl and laugh at the consta-
bles, &c. in attendance.
An hour having expired after the reading of
the Riot Act, the warrants iif the Magistrates
were carried into effect. The Yeomanry Cavalry,
in support of the Police Officers, armed with
‘vatranis from -the Magistrates, dashed through
the crowd, surrounded the hustings, and arrest-
ed Henry Quilt, Joseph Johnson, John Tyas,
George Swift, John Thacker Saxton, Robert
Thowas Taykr, Mary Waterworn), Sarah
liargleaves, and Lria tees it, who were car-
ried the held, and sent immediately under

hands tendered his testimony too hyperbolical to
.obtain credence in the minds of a Jury.
Mr. COMYN followed.otrbelralf of-the third de-
fendant.
A host of vitnesses were called to prove that
the first defendant' was the 'assatilted, not the•as-
Ilalilter and that the other defendants only inter-
fered ar far as motives of humanity dictated their
assistance. _ _ _

Mr. Serjeant ONst.ow (who yeas- assisted by
Marryat, Mr. Gurney, Mr.• Nolan, and Mr.
Bolland), replied.
The Jirry, after retiring a considerable length
of time, found all the defendants—Not Guilty.
This trial lasted from 10 in the morning until 3
in the afternoon.

DURHAM ASSIZES, Auuusr 14.

CROWN SIDE.-MURDER.

John King, alias Dacid Henley, aged 19,- and
Wm. Charlton, alias, Thomas Wilson, aged 20, were
charged .with the wilful murder of James Hamil-
ton, at Bishop Wearmouth„ on the night of the
16th of May last.
King, a tall thin youth, exhibited a desperate,
careless, laughing countenance. Charlton, a
squat., short person, had considerable cunning and
glaring in his looks.
lir. 1-Intr opened the case to the Jury. This
part of the, country had 'not its character oft,!l,
stained with murder, and when murder occurred
it was always the deed of vagrants, and
persons-who bad no natural connection with dm
re.o.ple ; that was the ease.here. That a mart was
murdered, murdered in circumstances of nu-
t xamplcd barbarity, would be fully prayed. M
ho 'eye witnessed the act, it would, however, be
impossible to offer direct proof that the prisoners
were the perpetrators. The evidence was of a cir-
cumstantial character, but it was such as claimed
tl.c.t &thous attention. The Learned Counsel

here &tailed tbe ivlilioe to &e *given ag.ktins't
King ; -and in course'of doing so, Wal repeatedly
interrupted 'by King, who said,." That is false,
Sir ; you should not speak of it." The evidence
against Charlton-Was different ~.but it''consisted of
circumstance-s vo'pregnarit 'with snspici6n, tai 'd so
cogent -ih'establishing'hia'gitilt, that they 'Would
probably satisfy their Wilds 'that he, 160, was
concerned in the Murder. ',(The circumstances
against Charlton were here-detafted; and.Chaelton
in his turn 'said, That is false.") The Jury
would do their duty with humanity, bur certainly
with firmness.
Mr. 'GROY was Counsel for the prosecution,
with Mr. 1-10,...r.—The prisoners hail no Counsel.
The unfortunate old man who was murdered
had been watchman to the Trustees of the Nen--
bottle 'colliery, 'and regularly took
.his station, by
six in the evening, at a cabin placed 'for his ac-
commodation at Staid], by the Side of the wag-
gon-,way.
The evidence was chiefly cirenmstan'ial, but
there could be no doubt of the guilt ot both. lo
th'e course of the trial, they both denied that they
were act-painted with each other, but it was
satisfactorily proved that they were upon intimate
terms.

During the WhOle 'of this ilial the pti:oners.
kept calling out to the WitnesSes, " Tha,t is a fat-
sity ;" " It is talse;•Sir";" " roci rascal, how
dare you speak_ such` fahities ;" " I may forgive
yon,', but God will not," &c.
John King, in his defence, told a very long
story, to the effect that he bad come front London
in a brig, and having bv misconduct exposed him-
self to the danger of flogging, took an opportu-
nity of making his escape oft Sunderland ; that
he bad spent all the money he had, 2/. Bs.„ wan-
dered in vain along the coast in quest of a situa-
tion, and renewed acquaintance with Thomas
Wilson (Charlton), whom he had known► before
at sea.; that he had been asnatned to beg,.young
fellow as he was, anti that he could procure no
means of getting hack to London ; that on the
night of the 16th of May he left the cabin soon
after ten, and went to sleep for the- night with
Wilson, near th►s glass-house, and awaking and
missing Wilson, he got up anti traced him, and
saw him going into the cabin; he stood at some
distance, and heard a noise within the cabin ;
Wilson came out soon afterwards and gave him,
the coat, the watch, the pistol, and dagger-stick,
and said at ihe same time that be might take
these, as he himself had plenty of money. lie con-
eluded his narrative with declaring his innocence,
and rising on his tip:toes, and striking hii hand
with great vehemence on the
.bar,
" May God knock me dead this instant if am
not innocent."

Being asked if he had any witnesses, he replied,
" That is one thing against me; 1 have no wit-
nesses, for I am a stranger in the country."
Wm. Charlton, *h-o looked with a fearftilly
torvid countenance at his fellow prisbner, during
the time he was aceusing him Of the actual-Mur-
der, said he Irol only to say. he was innocent.-.---
" Is it. likely, my Lord, that I shOuld confinit
murder fur the property, and then give it all to
him ? If I had plenty of Money, why
kill a man fur the sake of his little prdperty
What Will a than say-=;-Oli, -my Lind, what Will
not a man say to waver his own life
" It is truth, thiugli.")----But if l'a'm now to stif-
fer under this charge, I IWO& I shill meet the
man in heaven." He too said he had no wit-
nesses, and grasping his hands behind his -bead,
added, " I have no friends or ,-actinainfances
here."
Mr. Baron Woo° snmhsed up the evidence.—
The case was much stronger against -King- than
against Charlton. 'Against Charlton, at the same
time, ,there were circionitances full of suspieion.
If they could not divest the case of all doubt, it
was safer to acquit. This, be said; not a"s giv-
ing an opinion, but in order to call forth the most
serious attention and deliberation on their part.
The Jury retired at'half-paSt two, and in half
an bout returned •a verdict .of Guilty against both
the prisoners.
Chat ltott now -turned,dinictly to King, and said,
" Are you not rashained to have got an innocent
man-condemned I I declare I am happy that I die
innocent-of what I suffer for."
King •suid, " I sin innocent.'"

Mr. Baron %Vona pronounced sentence.—You
havebeen convicted of wilful murder, the most,
atrocious crime that can 'be' committed. Your
crime was accompanied with circuniiiiinees. of
great aggravation. With respect to one of yoU,
'King, it appears that 'you Wet C permitted, and at
lotir,own 'request, by the poor man to pass the
night in his cabin. He had compassion on you
'as a distressed and Wearied traveller : his humanity
afforded you shelter and protection ; in return
`you murderedhim. With repect to the other, there
is very. little doubt that you were both. together
tyhen this'crinne 'wasvommitted. One would have
thought that you would have beers 'satisfied with
taking 'the little property the poor man had ; but
your hardened and 'unfeeling hearts prompted you
to take away his life also : one of you had the im-
pudence to offer his property to sale soon after-
wards, and it is lucky for the purposes of justice
'that you showed so much impudence and audacity :
the other was soon found along with you : the
Jury had had no doubt of your being bUth guilty,
and it is lucky for the purposes of justice that you
have been brought to that place to receive your
punishment. I recommend to you the most sin-
cere repentance for your great and enormous crime,
and to address your supplications' to God that he
may forgive you: Having thus admonished you,
it becomes my painful duty to pronounce 'the
sentence of the law ; which is, that on Monday
-next 'you be severally hanged .by the neck till you
are dead, and may God have mercy on your-souls.
' Charlton, looking up towards his Lordship
with a terrible smile, said, " I shall lace my
God with a clear conscience." _ _

• Mr. Ilium) Woon,—The Jury have had no
doubt of your guilt ; lake them away.

King ealkd in an angry and imperious tone for
things which they-had taken 'from him ; then
Struck his fist with violetise on the bar, and said,
" Give them up here; 1 must have their," Lie
then turned towards the Jury, and tepeatinw his

It is impossible to give any idea of the hotror
excited by this exhibition.
Aft'Cr heating ilre„'aSove proCeeilingi, we have
learnt sane Very extradtdinary facts respecting
Chariton. Ir will he readily recollected,, that in
the orinter'Sf 181.1-12,'a most atrocious plan was
organited Sn Edinbili'gh, "for knocking down and
plundering 'every respectable person that might be
found 'passing along the more public streets on
new year's night, a time of unreserved confidence
and kindness in the gebech Metropolis. Num-
bers were severely hurt and robbed; one,watchman
was murdered. Three very young men were after-
wards
.executed as active agents in this outrage.
ft appeared io the course of their trial that the
whole hid been arranged and conducted by a Thos.
Johnson, who had escaped to America. When
Charlton came to Newcastle last spring, he was
at once recognized by a prostitute, whp had been
in Edinburgh in 1812, and addressed as Johnson.
He contrived to impose silence upon her at that
ti oe, and would never see her again. In conse-
quence of this circumstance reaching the ears of
the police-t,fficers, they made application to the
officers in Ediiihnrgb tor a description Pt John-
SOWS person. The description sent suited Charl-
ton exaAly. Some parts of' it were striking, and
almost decisive. Johnson had a scar over his left
eye ; thPrltoh has the same. Johnson had a
partieular mat k on his leg ; Charrton has that
mark. The age is no inconsistency. Charlton
represented himself as 20 ; it is quite consistent
With Itii appearance that he shiatild be 23. John-
sOti Was very young iii 1812. Stich, then; is the
tatuitovs and ruinous career of guilt. Johnson
escaped to America, and left his associates to ex-
piate with their blood the mimes lie had planned.
Ile returns "again to Britain, commits another
most ferocious murder near Sunderland, is taken
prisoner in the low brothels of Newcastle, and
dooMed to be executed at Durham, while he and
his associate in guilt and condemnation mutually
exchange the bitter accusations anti recriminations
of fiends.
