A fact has come to our knowledge which
speaks'vOlumes, bath as to former error and re-
cent improvement. A few months ago, when
the mania of idle Processions to Brandenburg!)
House Was at its height, the weekly payments
into the Bank of England on account of the

Saving Banks sunk Co not more than 90001.
They have since gradually advanced to, 18, 20,
and 22,0001. per week, and even more. Thus
with a revival of loyalty the honest and indus-
trious classes have found their own circumstances

improved, and their means of economy augment-
ed : they have advantaged themselves in restor-
ing tranquillity to the State.

[Morning Post.]
The Royal Assent was last night. given by
Commission to the „Queen's Annuity Bill. ller
Majesty is stow provided with an. ample _and
magnificent income. All her allowable claims
have been concedeth Let her recollect, that
what made them allowable, was the mercy shewn
her after conviction. If she really possess any
of those generous sentiments which her partizans
have attributed to her, she. will then fed that
gratitude beeotues a person in her situation. her
understanding will tell her-that acquiescence with
the liberality of Parliament and future silence re-
specang pretended• rights,. are the only marks of
gratitude she can give to that country, which, un-
der all the' circumstances .of her disgusting case;
has thus so generously acted towards her, and to
that Monarch,who„ notwithstanding her abuse of
his person and his GoVernruent, has -Magnani-
mously setfhis seal to the splendid grant of Par-
liament. Tranquillity is become a national want ;
• without it the industry of the people cannot
revive, and the Legislature cannot devise tnea-
, sures to protect that industry. To distrtib the
attention of 'Parliament froM general objects, by
attempts to engross it by individual claims, would
therefore be to shut the people out of all relief,
and to perpetuate the distresses of the country.
We leave it to her •MajestY to decide whether
that ought to be the •conduct of a Queen who
professes to.feel for the interests of the nation.

[British Press.]

It is, we much to be -lamented as an
event of evil :augury to the liberties of the people
that the House of Commons should, on, a review
of the military outrage recently perpetri,ted
at Kilmainhatn by the command of the 1. i
sheriff of the County of Dublin, determine
that it was not a case to justify Parliamen-
tary interference. • The decision too is the
•more to be lamented, as the matter was brought
before Parliament upon a • Petition couched
in the most -moderate .terms, and by a Noble-
man whose speech was not less distinguished
by a sound and temperate judgment, than by its
spirit and eloquence. No pretence, therefore,
was offered, that the House of Commons, in tak-
ing the-matter into their more immediate consider-
ation, would be ministering- to political or personal
violence, or gratifying the indulgence of ;private
rancour. The petitioners,andthe Noble Lord who
brought them before the House, could have been
influenced by no other feelings than a desire
,to
check a system that is but too common in Ireland,
which unfortunately, in one memorable case, has
been too successfully introduced in practice ,in
England, and which, if not reprobated and dis-
countenanced, inay spread its balefil influence
over every part of the Empire. Mr. Grant's
:answer to Lord .i.ohn- Russell's speech, although
it offered, as we freely admit, a very sufficient
excuse for_ the Irish Government in the conduCt
pursued on the occasion by !cord Talbot and
the Right lion. secretary, yet it strengthened,
in point of fact, the arguments urged by the
Noble Mover in favour, of Parliamentary inquiry.
Mt: Grant observed, there. were contradic-
tory and conflicting: statements. This circum-
staqice was undoubtedly sufficient excuse for the
(;oeernmeo not to interfere by the removal,
putilsbm.eut, or approbation. of the Sheriff, but
it furuishod a more urgent cause for inquiry.

We are-rejoiced to state th:lt advices from most
of the manufacturing towns reprt.sent the happy
revival of trade, and the consequent emplayirne:;t
of the working classes.

This kVitS 7a. ,traverse to an found

ibbFrti Esq. WasWWWasj since the 11 th of Augi:.7

Mr. SCARLETT, Mr. GURNEY, Mr. fionyr,
and Mr. Moonc, were for the Crown ; and Mr.
Somcrroa. GENERAL, Mr. JERVIS, Mr.. MAR-
RYAT Mr. BaotoiLim, and Mr. MAN SUNG, were
for the defendant. •

'I he ttial of this case tiectipied the 'syltoleof
yesterday, from half-past nine in 'the ►uorningg un-
Cl twelve at night, when it was adjourned, and
was not concluded until eight O'Clock in die even-
ing of this day. A- great mass of evidet►"
adduced on Loth sides, into which it is impossibl.,l
to•t titer into any thing like detail. The substan-
tial question at issue was, not whether Mr;

Bert was a lunatic, but whether he did not labour
under snit a degree of mental. imb.c:cility, arlsi
from some latent organic defect, as to render it

_ .
improper for him. to have the uncontrouled
government of ithnself and the mandgernetlt of; th
estate. He was the eldest son of Thomas llihbt-i'r;
EFq., who died, in I 506,, pOssessed
_of

. . _ .
\Vest India estates, and conSidertNe .
property, leaving issue . the young ti,entletntan
in question, two other sons and a danglitir,
by Mrs. l 4 ihbert, now living, 'formerly a. Miss
ManS•tield. By the will of" the. Teitatoi., iii
which ample provision was made fiir all the
children, he declared that they shO6lll‘not becotie"
possessed of the *property bequeathed -until titer
had respectively attained the Age of twetity4iv9
years. When the eldest san arrived at that
age, he would have "been entitled to an estate' of
upwards of 20,000/. per annum. In his earlieq
infancy he evinced unusual proficiency in
dimental know ledg•e, and A-ave great promise•ne
a vigorous and enlarg-ed understanding. 'Pos.sei.,.--
ing a memory of extraordinary retention,
he made astonishing progress- in the know led2;k,
of classical literature ; but as he advanced'

in years, though he had acquired :the stature-
of maohood, he retained the mental
of infautine and, as was stated
by the gentlemen who
.had successiyelv had tbvf.
care of his education,. he was totally devoi4
of the powers of abstractioni. and ratiociautiont,
was utterly incapable of coMprehending the first
Problem of Euclid's Elements,
,and, was even
.dull of understanding to the co:.oin;in rul,:s of
arithmetic.. The great body
,of evidencl. was (1-
rected to the deVeloptnent hiS life from the
age of 17 to 25, Which last he attained in Augtst,
last, ant a succeEsion of faefs w.ts adduced to
support the allegaAott of that childish imbecility
on which the Commission as foiinded. Ignorance
of the value of money, heedless exiravagtlnce; and
anu ngovetnab'y Pas.s'onate temper.,'Were.' amoogst
other features of h'S conduct, advanced '.s ea-
raCteristic of his m .n al incapacity ; hut, on all
hands, he was admitted to be. free f: mu the u:sal,
vices of yonth. 'Several medical gentkinew cf
the first eilinence were examined, the result or
whose opinion was, that' th nigh the' experiments
they had n ade to asc Ttain 'the sanity of his
Mind would not justly them in signing a certifi-
cate of, lunacy, yet hat they could not be war-
ranted in pronouncing h nvto he'a person. of Sane
intellect, .o whom the management of his affair;
might be Ea e'y entrusted. On the other hand,.
a great number of w.tuesses (principally col 7
lateral branches of his fa. it' ftmily) was
duced, who, though they 'admitted, that he was a
young man of extremely yi'ealcmind, arising froru
an infirmity of physical constitution, yet that, he
was as capable, in the ordinary: affairs of life, of
managing his coicerns as nine. ypueg men in tett
who were brought up under the expectation of
inheriting large fortune ..:.:The medical gentle-
men examined were also of opinion,,that though
he was a young man of in fnm intellea,yet the ii!-
lirrnity was not starch as would .justify them in de
daring that he was unlit to be entrusted with the
management of his own affairs.
The CliiEr JUSTICE had in part S'ITTIITIf.d nn
the case, when the jUt•Y- :iiiteCliosed, anti
expressed themselves satisfied ; but his Lord
ship aid it would, pet hap be more
factory if they were to hear the case throug-,b,
more particularly. as , the result of the :i►t'
quiry., would be certified into Charicery;--
and, accordingly, his Lordship proceeded to re-
capitulate "the prominent features of the oti.ge,
leaving the question for their consideration ill
the terms of the issue on the record.

The Jury retired fOr about a quarter of :I'l
hour, and returned "It verdict for the- Cro,ol*
