indulgence on the part of the Cour', and of the Counsel f°l
the prosecution. lie had at first traversed the indictment,
and the witnesses fur the Crown were in consequence
dismissed from their attendance ; he then changed bie
mind, and insisted upon his right of going at once t°
trial, when, to accommodate him, the %xitnesses were
agaiu required toatteul ; but on Sat urday,last, he state('
in Court that he was surprised by the eighth count Of
the indictoscut, which charged him with endeavouring
to incite his Majesty's subjects to take op arms against
the Goverrneent, and requested permission to tracers!,
until the ne:st Assizes. This indulgence he could not in
strictness hope to receive, but all technical formalities were)
superseded, his request was {_Tinted, and he was liberated Ott

"hale of thuse events are certainly to become the
Oiieets of Legislative inquiry, and are at present
lo,) much involved in, wisrepreseniation and pre-
shdice. Mr. TAYLOR condemns without scruple
the conduct of the Magistrates at Manchester, be-
taii,e, as he alleges, they are appointed by the
qovernment. Even admitting this to be the case,
van he deny that the Magistrates are selected from
the most respectable Inhabitants of Manchester
aild its vieitjty, or does heisnpnose that the freest
exercise of the rpular voice would have made a
less except itind hie nomination? lie also igtn At izes

tl►e conduct of the Yeomanry Chivalry of that place
with all tl►e violent epithets which could be applied
to them by the most furious of the HUNTITES.-
We 'honour the feelings of humanity, and we
tlt►ubt not that those feelings betrayed Mr. TAYLOR
illto an unguarded zeal, which ought certainly
trot to have been shewn on such an occasion,

because it tends to give a party colouring to his
Character, and seems to presage a leaning towards
the cause of men who, considering his talents, his
respectability, as manifested in the choice of so

many of his fellow-citizens, he should view with
indignation on account of ►he danger of their de-
Signs, and the incorrigible wickedness of their
Proceedings.

THE ARTS.—We have several times noticed the
series of National Medals brought forward by Mr.
Ilutim, illustrating the Triumphs of this Country
"tough the late war, anti representing the Heroes
'who aistinguished themselves during its progress,
lind who eminently contributed to its glorious ter
hiination. These Medals drew forth the talents
of British Artists, and proved that in this pro-
vince they are not excelled by any foreigners.—
The series of National Medals we find is cooclud•

Ueda), intended as a model for a Crown-piece.
(-)1) one side is a profile of our venerable Spvereign,
representing him as he, appeared about the m eri-
tlttn of lite, and it is certainly a correct and dig-
liitied similitude. The reverse displays the Royal
Arms, which are quarterly in the form of a cross,
In the manner of former coins. The woik is
'finished with exquisite skill, and is arranged with
admirable taste. Some of the parts. are necessa-
;4 minute, but they are most distinctly visible.
It is much to be regretted that this fine specimen
of British talents was not produced before the
Present Master of the Mint had fixed his choice
Butt that model which has been adopted in the cur-
rent coin of the same value. We are sure that he
would have shewn his patriotism as well as taste
by a preference of native genius. However, he
will now have an opportunity of knowing what
tri!ish talents can accomplish, and on futore oc-
casions he will doubtless feel gratified in the
°PPortunity of giving them due encouragement.
