having vacated their seats, renders it impossible to
enter on serious discussion, such as the late chan-
ges may be naturally expected to provoke, for some
time. That considerable difficulties should present
themselves, even to the talents of the Duke of Wel-
lington, is not surprising, when it is considered how
many interests he has to conciliate in his endeavours
to form a Ministry. A -Morning Paper describes his
Grace as having plenary powers to cull from any
party and all parties, with the exception of two indi-
viduals a Lord and a Commoner. It does not favour
us with the names of the excepted individuals, nor
shall we spend our time in attempting to guess them.
That the Duke has plenary powers we are fully
aware, but he has not, we believe, communicated
their precise tenour to our contemporary. A Cabi-
net Council was held yesterday at Windsor, but
nothing has transpired of its deliberations. The
present leaning, so far as the rumours most eagerly
caught up may be supposed to indicate it, seems to
be towards that Cabinet which we described as the
third possible combination, namely, the Old Tories.
If such be finally resolved on, we shall probably
have an immediate appeal to the country, where the
party is doubtless very strong, by a dissolution of
Parliament. It will be impossible to obtain a
working majority without having recourse to that
measure.—lbid.

OLD BAILEY, JAN. 15.

John Louie' Darney, who pleaded " not guilty,"
on Saturdtiy last to a charge of forging an accept-
ance for 49/. with intent to defraud Messrs. Tow-
good and Co., bankers, was placed at the bar, and
withdrew that pll,a,and pleaded "guilty," which plea
was recorded against him.

fle was charged, in another indictment, with forg-
ing an order for 61. with intent to defraud a Mr.
Boycutt and others. To this charge he also
pleaded " guilty."
Eliza Phillips, aged 19, was capitally indicted for
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Maria
Fitzgibbons, and stealing therein six gowns, and a
variety of other articles, her property, and two
sheets, the property of Thomas Parker.
The prisoner, in her defence, said that the house
in which the prosecutrix lived was one of a bad
character, and that she was a street-walker.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up the evidence,
and the Jury acquitted the prisoner.
The prisoners having been all tried, the several
Juries were discharged with the thanks of the
Judges, for the patient attention which they had
bestowed in the discharge of their important duties.
The RECORDER will pass sentence upon the pri-
soners convicted during the Sessions to-morrow
(this) morning at ten o'clock.

MILLING ON BANSTEAI) DOWNS,

The Fancy had their first grand field-day for the
new year, yesterday, upon Banstead Downs, where
the fights between Bill Savage and Paddy Flynn for
251. a-side, and Ned Savage and Spring the Con-
juror for .51. a-side, took place. The morning was
rather favourable for the sports, but the night turned
out a soaker ; and all these who trusted to open
vehicles, or to the ten-toed machine, so much in
vogue with the outsiders, had ample room to
grumble at the want of courtesy in the elements.
The Cock, at Sutton, so celebrated in the an-
nals of pugilism, was head-quarters; and here, at an
early hour, a few of the respectable patrons of the
Ring—and there were not many in attendance—put
up their grads. As the day advanced, the crowd
thickened; and, by eleven o'clock, the muster be-
came more numerous. Commissary Fishwick, soon
after twelve, formed an excellent ring on the Downs,
nearly on the same spot which had been :levoted to
a similar purpose after the last Epsom Races.
Shortly before one the combatants, attended by
their friends, reached the ground in their respective
drags, and in a few minutes the milling arena was
graced by the presence of

GAME KILLING.

(From the News.)
There art great numbers who think more of this
than they do of any thing else. This passion of the
sport has reached such a height that it has become
quite di-gusting; for now it is neither comparatively
skill nor exercise. A few pet characters, or practised
hands, are invited in a spirit of political servility, or
as a great honour ; the preserves driven, as it is
called ; when the game being thus forced into a
corner, as it were, these clever men go in, and
slaughter, rather than shoot, all before them ;—re-
minding us (instead of calling up old remembrances
of the sports of the field) of the Dog Billy, at the
Westminster pit, whose game is brought in a box,
and turned down into a place where they cannot get
away. Billy goes into the slaughter-house, and
through his job like a workman, having nothing to
do but destroy ; and accordingly the papers of
next day, rendering the same kind of merit to the
dog in the pit, and the Peer in the preserve, tell us
that they killed so many head in a given period,—
working against time ! It would require about the
same portion of skill to drive so many hares and
rabbits into a room, and charge them with fixed
bayonets !

value of other descriptions. The arrivals of Barley have
been small this week, and flue qualities sell readily at is.
per qr. advance. The farmers' supply of Oats was large
this morning, and the sale was very dull at last week's

APPROACHING EXECUTION.

On Wednesday next, as will be seen by the,AV
corder's Report, three wretched men are doorne<l.ll;
, expiate their . crimes on the scaffold. They were all
convicted at the last Old Bailey Sessions,
Ephraim Jonathan Shorter, aged .50, for uttering,
forged 5/. notes, purporting to be of the Bank 01
England. There were seven indictments against this
prisoner,
besides the one on which he was convicted,
all of which were clear eases, and in most of which
the sufferers were licensed victuallers, to whom the
prisoner was personally known. He was tried for
passing a forged 51. note at the Britannia, in Gray's
Inn-lane, and found guilty on most conclusive evi-
dence. When taken into custody three forged notes
of 5/. each were found in his possession, which
were proved to be from the same plate as those .he
had previously. At his own request his trial was
once postponed, on the ground that he had witnesses
on the road to London who would prove his having
received the notes from 'a gentleman in payment for
slates. No such witnesses, however, appeared .on
the trial, or subsequently. In his defence he isitl
that he had received them of Captain .Pittet, of
Walworth, and Mr. Shotty, of Woolwich, in pay-
ment of a bill of 17.5/. When first under examina-
tion at the police-office in Hatton-garden,he appeared
to treat the business with great levity, but as the
charges against,him accumulated, his confidence for-
sook him, and he became sensible of his awful situatiot:
Samuel Weedon, a labouring man, residing at
Finchley, and rather over 30 years of age, was con-
victed of a daring burglary, in the house of Mr.
Frederick Tootle a grocer, at Edgeware, from which
gdods to a considerable amount, and a sum of money
was stolen. A part of tl:e property was found it'
Weedon's residence, and another part in the lodg-
ings of a man named Godfrey, who was convicted
with him, but who has been reprieved, Weeder
being proved to he the planner and instigator of the
robbery. The principal witness in this case was an
accomplice named Waters, who confessed that his
only motive in turning King's evidence, was to save
his own neck.
George Wyeth, the third wretched being doomed,
to suffer, is only 25 years of age; but has been long
known to the police as a most desperate character;
having twice before narrowly escaped .tcapital con,
victions. The crime of which he was .found guilty
was a desperate highway robbery on a person named
Barton ; and although the value of the property
stolen (two hats) was only 205., yet the circum-
stances were- of such a nature as to cause him to be
considered unfit to receive the Royal clemency.

CHINESE DOCTRINE OF RETRIBUTION.

The prevailing opinion in China is that virtue
will be prosperous, and vice miserable ; bat facts
do not always support this theory ; therefore, they
suppose that when the virtuous are afflicted, their
virtues are incomplete; and when the vicious are
prosperous, their iniquities arc not yet full. Like
money out at compound interest, when the payment
comes soon it is small, when it comes late it is great.
--Retribution long delayed on the wicked will fall
heavily,
The Chinese mind, often sceptical, does not
readily fall into the idea that a future state of retri-
bution will make all equitable. It admits this occa-
sionally, but does not revert to it as the most easy
solution for the prosperity of the wicked.
There is a work in two volumes, the, title of
which promises " Proofs of Providence from the
Twenty-two Historians." The preface professes to
quote only from the most sober grave history, in
contradistinction to low legendary tales; but it fails.
—Many extravagant stories are introduced, which
throw discredit on the whole. In the work there is
no recognition of the great Creator and Governor of
the universe, infinitely wise, just, and good; but a
confused assumption of some mysterious connection
between virtue and happiness, vice and misery, in
the order of nature. Among the examples taken
from history, great warriors who have been cruel
are marked with peculiar reprobation. The follow-
ing is a specimen :

Pik-ke, a General under the first universal eastern
Monarch, 'lain (whence Chin-a), who in his mas-
ter's service had sacrificed nearly a million of human
beings, afterwards refused to enter on new'conquests.
In consequence of which the King of Tsin was en-
raged, and presented a sword to the General that
he might put an end to his own life in a manner be-
coming his rank. Pik-ke hesitated, and asked him-
self why heaven had doomed him to this. Re-
flecting a long time, he at last burst out and mid,' I
deserve, indeed, to die ; in the battle of Chan; ping,
when 7 or 800,000 men submitted, I, by stratagem,
engulfed and slew them all. This is a sufficient
cause of any untimely death.' He forthwith cut his
throat and killed himself." In a subsequent period,
a girl of Nankin, aged 17, who had never learned to
read, became ill, and when at the point of death she
thus expre,sed herself: "I am The General Chang-
pib, who, a firmer life, murdered 800,000 men.
I am downed to eternal misery in hell; but have of
late received permission to appear in this world, pro-
vided I be restricted to the female sex, and always
die under 20 years of age. This, the day of my
death, is decreed by Fate." Having said this, she
died. The author of this compilation wishes readers
to believe in Providence; but how ill are his pious
brands calculated to produce the effect I How de-
sirable to give more light to the Heathen !

THE CONFESSION OF A MURDERER.

About ten years age), Brockway, a waggoner,
whi'e passing on the Wilton road, was attacked
by five persons, named Foyle, Jennings, Cable,
Evres, and Hunt. The three first and the last
were identified by a boy as the parties who
dragged him out of the waggon and robbed him.
Eyers absconded, but was subsequently appre-
hended, and after a short confinement liberated.
The others were sentenced to transportation, and
hnr since returned. Brockway was found it:
e
the morning with hip head dreadfully bruised. It

MOTION OF ANINIALS.

Animal motion is wonderful, though from its per-
petually meeting the eye, we take little account of
it. The Pholas (a shell-fish) has the power of per-
forating the hardest marble by means of a fleshy
substance, apparently no way suited to so laborious
an employment. It increases its eel! as it increases
in size ; and constitutes a perfect example of the
first rudiments of animal motion. The only impulse
an oyster possesses, arises out of its power of open-
ing and shutting its shell. The muscle moves by
means of a muscular substance, resembling a tongue.
The crab moves sideways, and the water-gy swims
upon its back. The serpent undulates, and the
lion-ant moves backwards; it has no power to make
the smallest indication forwards. Marine birds can
walk, run, fly, and swim. Lorne animals can only'
walk, others only run, and others only gallop; the
horse performs all these motions. The tiger and the
crocodile dart; the rein-deer runs, but never gallops;
the armadillo walks swiftly, but can neither run nor
leap ; wl.iie the great am-eater climbs much better
than it can walk. The sloth is a large animal, and
yet can travel only fifty paces iu a day ; an elk will
run a mile and a half in seven minutes ; an antelope
a mile in a minute ; the wild mule of Tartary has a
speed even greater than that. An eagle can fly 18
leagues in an hour; and a Canary falcon can even
reach 250 leagues in the short space of 16 hours.
\ fan has the power of imitating almost every motion
hut that of flight. To effect these, he has in ma-
turity and health 60 bones in his legs and thighs, 62
in his arms and hands, 60 in his head, and 67 in his
trunk. lie has also 434 muscles in the structure of
his body, and his heal t has 3,840 pulsations in the
'Pace of an hour !—Bucke's Harmonics of Nature.

A calculated
that
months there have entered into this port
and that of Rouen 200 cargoes of foreign corn, which at
the rate of 70 tons, the average burden of each cargo,
give, a supply of 14,000,000 kilogrammes, or 17,500
withinler from
hectolitres. It is probable that the quantity of corn im-
ported :at other ports is also very considerable. Aa ac-
quaintance with theselfacts is calculated to remove the ap-
prehensions that may have arisen in the interior of the
country relative to the deficiency in the late harvest, and
the consequences thereof. It is a singular fact, that whilst
Englishmen are buying up corn at Rouen and the environs,
Frenchmen are making heavy purchases of corn ',in Lin-
colnabites"

DINNER TO MR. SHIEL.

• Yesterday evening a Meeting was held in pursu-
ance of adjournment, at the London Tavern, further
to consider the necessary arrangements to be made
preparatory to the dinner to be given to Mr. Shiel.
SeVeral persons who had not received letters of
invitation attended for the purpose of being present,
but were informed that the meeting was private,
when Mr. Hunt reached the Tavern, and it was also
intimated to him that the meeting was private.
Mr. HUNT said he had received a letter of invita-
tion, but at the same time thought that holding
private meetings would not redound much to the
honour either of Mr. Shiel, or to those giving the
dinner.

After some delay it was intimated to those in
waiting that the Meeting were considering whether
they should allow any individuals to be present. It
was decided in the affirmative, and admission was
granted.
Mr. PEACOCK was in the Chair, and
Mr. bIuNT asked whether, having received a
letter of invitation, he was intruding?
The CHAIRMAN—We are happy to see you, Mr.
Hunt.

Mr. HUNT—Orders for excluding persons must
have been given.
The CHAIRMAN.—Say no more on the subject--
it was a mistake. He (the Chairman) then said,
that it had been decided that a dinner should be
given to Mr. Shiel, and the principal object that
evening was the appointment of the Stewards. The
dinner was to be held en Monday.
Mr. GALLOWAY said, it was highly proper that
Mr. Shiel should not be allowed to leave London
without being invited by the friends of civil and re-
ligious liberty to a dinner. He was anxious that the
company should consist of the middle classes of
society. He had lived long enough to know the
value of conciliation, and he hoped all parties would
unite in the great cause.
Mr. HUNT asked in what character Mr. Shiel was
to be asked to the dinner ? _ .

The CHAIRMAN.—As a friend to civil and re-
ligious liberty.
Stewards were then appointed to manage the
dinner, and a long discussion arose on the subject of
the cost of tickets, the Chairman having intimated
that they would he U. each.
Mr. GALLOWAY thought the sum too much, as it
would tend to keep many persons away.
Mr. Huvr concurred in this remark.

Mr. BLACt►ETT said it was not the mere giving of
a dinner that was considered. Mr. Sheil would, no
doubt, speak on the occasion, and the topics he
might embrace would, in all probability, be im-
portant to the cause of civil and religious liberty.
It was decided by show of hands that the tickets
should be 20s.—Mr. Favell is expected to preside.
London, England, 1828-10-30

however, what happened at Alexandria. there the
most humiliating and most extraordinary conventioss
that was ever signed was agreed to. Ibrahim
quits as a conqueror the country he has devaatat-
. ed, carrying away his arms and baggage, and pro-
visioning the garrisons of the fortresses. They
hFve flattered themselves that the troops under Gen.
Maison would not suffice to capture these places;
in this, perhaps, they are deceived, though our troops
may be too few to preserve these places if the Greeks
are to be saved. There is Machiavelism on the part
of the foreigners and the diplomatists, who have
constantly bowed down before Mahmoud, placing
him above Frederick, Napoleon, and Peter the Great.
It is also remarked, that persons high in military
and diplomatic situations do not agree. .They seem
to be guided by opposite
.motives ; one wished to
negociate, by which the Porte (rains time; the other,
apposing the expedition, wished that the cannon of
Navarin had been the last heard in the waters of
the Pelopot►essus. It is now the fashion to say, that
the 60,000 martyrs of Chios were legitimately
butchered—that the Greeks are wretches fit only tobe
slaughtered,and that the Turkish Government is a mo-
del of excellence. All wish that Gen. Maison should
remain inactive, that he may not obtain the high re-
ward which is to be bestowed on his exertions and
valour. Discontent in the mean time is propagating
among the Greeks. Every one knows what to think
on the subj( et of the Panhellenion and the Plague of
Hydra—two means of being absolute. Trickery is
now more convenient than to act constitutionally, and
the Pacha of Egypt, could he have entertained the
idea, might have done as well as another, General
Maison has, however, already triumphed over the
most serious obstacles, and will soon make himself
master of Coron, Motion, &c., and liberate the Pelo-
ponnesus. Perhaps, however, the expedition will
return at the end of a few months, for the winds of
intrigue blow from all quarters.
If we may believe the reports in circulation, the
disasters of the Russians have not been solely caused
by the activity of the Turks, though that has been
great, but serious dissensions have broken out :among
the Russian Generals, and old resentments have been
revived. The severity of Nicholas, on his accession,
to some of the military, has not been forgotten by
their comrades; and a want of unanimity and concord
was displayed when the enemy's presence made every
exertion necessary to triumph. The discovery made
the leaders doubtful; and hesitation and delay oc-
curred in their operations. 'Some notion was en-
tertained of recalling the suspected corps, particularly
as the suspicions were confirmed by some officers of
artillery disappearing, when despatched on service,
without their disappearance being accounted for.

Edward' knatchbulll.—Sir .tdward Knatchbuti,"....z.
" Men of Kent,won't you hear rur Member ?" &c.
Sir Edward pacified the "gentle though bold,"
by telling them that Cobbett would be the next
speaker, and, to use his own words, "I wish Cob-
bett to go before me :" hence it was that Mr. Lar-
kin gained a hearing.
The worthies in the head-quarter-waggon insisted
that the question hal been carried, although no
amendment had been put; but Sir Edward Knatch-
bull, acting on the advice of a barrister immediately
below him, would have the amendment and question
put again, saying, " It won't do; if we insist, they
will deny it, and we are not in a condition to prove
the contrary."
The Commander-in-Chief (Lord Winchelsea)
promised the little influence he might possess to ob-
tain a hearing for any other gentleman, if they would
only allow him to proceed. But after he had had
his say, he refused to exert that little influence, al-
though repeatedly called upon to do so, especially
by Mr. Shell.
So much for the fair play which took place at a
meeting where the BrURSA% ickers wish it to be un-
derstood that they had gained a victory.
But how stands the fact ? The meeting, I take
it, did not amount to more than between 20,000
and 25,000 persons. And who were they, pray ?
for it does so happen that there are not many more
than half that number of freeholders in the whole
county; and that there was not mere than a third
of the ,freeholders present is a well-known fact.
The Brunswickers, finding themselves foiled in
making it appear that they-had the votes of the
freeholders, wish to put it off as the sense of the
county at large; but I should like to know how they
can, with all their ingenuity, persuade the people of
England that from 20,000 to 25,000 persons (and
they all been Brunswickers, instead of a very small
majority) could by possibility, on such an occasion,
be supposed to express the opinions of a population
of 400,000.
Where were the Representatives ? There are 18
returned for the various places in the county, and
only a solitary expression of opinion was delivered
out of the lot, which does not say much in favour of
that triumph which the Commander-in-Chief, Caleb
Baldwin, and their " knee-deep" companions,elairn.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday a fine-looking young girl, between six-
teen and seventeen years of age, named Jane Prior,
in the most abject state of misery and destitutie;.,
was brought before Mr. WHITE.
Richard Chevell, a police-officer, stated that he
saw the poor girl sitting on the step of a gentleman's
door, in Parliament-street, and watched her for nearly
two hours ; she did not attempt to beg, but appeared
to him almost in a dying state, which he at first
imagined was an imposition to excite compassion.
He at last went up to her, and found her in extreme
suffering from cold and hunger, and scarcely able to
support herself; he imrnediareiy got her some food,
and brought her to the office.
The unfortunate gill stated that she was the only
daughter of Mr. James Prior, a f:,w years ago an
eminent wipe-merchant in Bath ; she had been
educated at several schools in that city, and the last
she was at was the Albany Academy for young
ladies. About two years ago her father failed in
business, and in a few months after died of a paraly-
tic stroke, brought on by anxiety of mind. She re-
tired with her mother to an obscure lodging in Wil-
liam-street, Bath, but her mother only survived her
father a few weeks, the shock at her reverse of for-
tune being too much for her to hear. What Was
left of their property was not more than paid the ex-
penses of her mother's funeral, anti after remaining
a few weeks 114 Bath, to endeavour to get some em-
ployment, she found she had no friends, and all her
mother's relations lived in Wales. She therefore
came to London, and advertised in the .news-
papers for a situation as a servant, which she

at last obtained. The last place she left Ivas
at Mr. Loscomb's, No. 28, Great Marlborough-
street, and she then went to an obscure lodg-
ing, where .she was robbed of all her clothes and
money by some of the lodgers; and being destitute
of money to pay for her bed, she was at length
turned out of doors, without a shilling or a home to
go to. This was about six weeks ago, and to sup-
port nature, being totally destitute, she was com-
pelled to throw herself upon the town for support.
The dreadful life was to her insupportable; she had
endeavoured to get into the Magdalen, and also into
another asylum, but was given to understand they
were quite full. She had wandered about the streets
for the last three nights, having no bed to go to, and
in a fainting state from cold and want of food, she
had sat down on the steps of the door, as described
by the officer, but she could not beg.
Chevell said, he believed her story to be correct;
she was different in her manner from the numerous
impostors about town, and he was quite sure she
was almost starving when he first spoke to her. The
poor girl's eyes were in a dreadful state of inflam-
mation from her exposure to the cold.
Mr. WHITE ordered her to be taken care of in
St. Margaret's workhouse until something could be
done for her.
