THE THEXTR E.—The Public had a high gra-
tification on Saturday last at the Haymarket
Theatre, in the representation of The Jealous
Wife, one of the very best of modern Comedies.
Mr. and Mrs. C. K EMBLE performed the characters
of Mr. and Mrs. Oakky, and the peculiar coin-
cidence of their theatrical and actual comlexion
added not a little to the interest and apparent
reality of the scene, as well as to the entertain-
ment of the audience. Never can we expect to
see both characters better performed. Mr.
TERRY entered fully into the humour of Major
Oakley,.and the Comedy throughout was very
ably supported. The Afterpiece was ROSilla,
and Miss CORRI obtained great applause for her
musical powers in the simple heroine of th piece.

SECOND ROYAL REVIEW.—On Saturday morn-
ing, at nine o'clock,-the Ist and 2d Regiments of
Life Guards, and Royal Horse Guards Blue,
together with the 12th Lancers and lst Brigade
of Royal Horse Artillery, were reviewed by hi§
MAJESTY on Hounslow-heath. The Mikes of
YORK, CAMBRIDGE, Major-General Sir W. CON-
GREVE, and the Colonels and Officers, &c. of the
different Regiments, were on the ground, with
a numerous assemblage of the Nobility and
Gentry. After the Review the KING returned
to the Royal Cottage, which he is expected soon
to leave for Brighton.

Friday the Duchess of KENT went to Clare-
mont on a visit to her Royal Brother.
Saturday the Duchess of Gloucester, accom-
panied by the Princess AiTGUSTA, left town for
Bagshot. Their Royal Highnesses returned to
London in the evening.
The Duke of CLARENEE went fo Bushy Park
on Saturday, and returned to London in the

evening.
Saturday, the Princess SOPHIA rode out with
the Duke of Yon& in his single horse chaise.
After the Review on Saturday, the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE returned with the KING to his cot-
tage at Windsor.

Yesterday morning between nine and ten
o'clock, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, accompa-
nied by the Princess AUGUSTA, left town for Kew,
to attend Divine Service at the church. After
the service, their Royal Highnesses proceeded to
Richmond on a visit to the Countess Dowager of
CARDIGAN. Their Royal Highnesses ,lined
with the Countess, and in the eveOng returned
to London.

CONsPIitACY.

THE ICING V. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT, WOOLER, &C.
Continuation of the Second Dag's Proceedings,
and Conclusion gt the Trial.]
Tie a:-count of the Proceedings in our Paper
of aturday last, came down tjo so late a period
half-past two o'clock on Friday, and Mr.
CH tat.-n,; PEARFON was left reading the Defence_
of Major Cartwright. Mr. Hill; who was Conn-
sul for the Major, had defended that gentleman
on Thursday evening in a speech which occupied
-upwards of: two hours, and application was then
made to the Judge to allow Mr. Hill to continue
by reading a &fence which • Major Cartwright
had prepared; he being unable, from.. his infirm
F.tate. to read it himself. His Lordship at that
time remarked, that he could not, consistently
with th-z rules of the Court, hear both Counsel
and:client, that the defendant had made his efrlec-
ti9n, and must abide by it. However, on.,Friday
mottling • the Major personally renewed the ap-
plication, and his Lordship, on account of the
'Major's great anxiety to have it read, granted
him the indulgence. 'And here we cannot avoid
remarking, that during the whole progress of this
ledions trial, his Lordship has_ manifested the
greatest anxiety to render every pOssible-accom-
modation and indulgence to the whole of the de-
f:ndants. The defence was then read by Mr.
C. Pearson, and occupied no lesS a time than
four hoUrs and a half. To follow it through the
-whole of its stages would .be as tedious to our
Readers, as it appeared to be to the persons who
beerd it. -
• The defence being concluded, Mr. LEWIS rose
in defence of hiMself. It would be quite impos-
sible to convey to our Readers- the substance of
this appeal. • lie, too, quoted Jerenty Bentham,
and not satisfied with merely giving extracts from
him. as his co-defendants had done, he pertina-

ciously insisted on indulging the Court with reading
-nearly the whole of a very lon7 pamphlet written
"by this author. That part of his address which
• - could be fairly .called- his own, we mean that not
composed of extracts or quotations,'was parti-
'cularly applied towards a violent invective against
the loyal Association of Birthingham for the Sup-
pression of Blasphemy, and Sedition. •
_ The defence was herc6 closed, and no evidence
was 'called; Mr. Denman was not in, Court dur-
• ing_anf part of this day.
Mr. Serjeant VALTOIIAN rose to reply. The
proceedings hid now arrived at that stage, when
it became his duty to address the jury on the
merits of the evidence produced, and the defence
set up in opposition to it. His situation was now
:peculiarly embarrnysing from the manner in which
-that defence 'had' been considered. It seemed
to have been the industrious endeavour of the
-whole of the defendants to entirely keep out of
their view the real question upon which they
had to determine ; it would he necessary, there-
fore, for him to call back to their minds the par-
'. ticUlar charges in the indictment, and having
done that, ire thoUght the coarse to be pursued
by them, was one of the most clear, simple, and
-easy nature. But before he -did this, he would
first reply to thoge observations made in the
course of the defence, which he thought required
explanation ; for, giving every meed of praise to
IL': talent exhibited by his Learned Friend, Mr.
Denman, as also
.by_ Mr. Wooler, he could. not

Help retnarkin,,,d on their dexterity in avoiding the
true features.of the case. The substance of the
charges confined themselves to two points,viz.a con-
spiracy to excite sedition and di,,affection in the
rCrlds of his Majesty's subjects, by assembling to
elect a representative to sit in Parliament for the
town of Birmingham—and having done so, endear

vouring to effect a change in the representative sys-
tem of the Commons House of Parliament. In his
opening speech, when speaking of delay occasioned
at the outset of the cause, he had called it a do,ul-
- warfare ; -and he`was not disposed, after all
that had fallen from his learned friend, and the
warmth with which he commented on this expres-
sion, to retract one iota of NN hat he then said. Ile

-would, however, come to the speech of Mr.
. Wooler, and remark upon the particular points
_ of it ; and he strongly recommended the Jury to
entirely dismiss from their minds the unwarrant-
able attack made on them, as being packed. He
knew that it would not influence them in the
. least degree; they must be convinced of the irn-
prOpriety and total want of foundation it had,
and he therefore requested them to forget that
such an expression had even been uttered. He
had been challenged in 'a .yery open manner to
state under what Statute the act of thus- assem-
bling could .be construed to be illegal. He had
never said it was a criminal act under the Statute

Law, but in the Common Law of the land it was
decidedly and unquestionably so ; it was oppo-
site and illegal to thevery foundation and constitu-
tion of that law. Agkan, it had been alleged,
' that this was a trial of principle and not of men.
He denied that this was the case. The'defendants
had a right to entertain 'any political sentiments
they chose, but they inus;..pursue and conduct
, themselves in the propagation of those principles
with decency and propriety. The Secretary for
the Home Department would have been depart-
ing from his duty if he bad not instituted 'the pre-
;sent prosecution, and he had done. it on the mode
- Jeast likely to be objectionable : he-hid not pro-
ceeded by an ex-officio information, as he might
:have done, on account of the foolish out-cry
against that-mode 'of proceeding, and yet this
Mau still was complained • of. lie thought the
,Charge of unbecoming anxiety on the part of Go:.
:erriment to procure a verdict was in this .case
. most unfairly and unjustly applied, and still more
ri'iculous was that which attacked his Majesty's
Attorney-General: for having said that he had
„mot commenced any-prosecution in which he did
3xot obtain a verdict. The positioli -which he set
lout, )vith respect to the right of grantipg the writs
whereby individuals might bo cAlled to Parlia-
. 3Lpt, had not been in the least_sliakeu, lie. still

contended, that the King had not now the autho-
rity to alter the present representative system ; he
had not the power to issue a new writ for a new
place ; neither had he the power to withhold one
from a place which at present sent a Member to
the House of Parliament; that power or right was
alone vetted in the threetates of the legislature,.
the King, Lords, a*CommonS ; the right of the
King had never bee 5 exercised since the Act of
Union with Scotland, which provided for the send-
ing of 538 Members from. England and 45 from
Scotland. If any infringement was made on either
kingdom, 'it would be derogatory to the kingly
office, and indeed, the very spirit of the Act de=
stroyed the prerogative of the King, and the
only inference to be drawn from the non-exer-
cise of it was, the avowed understanding that it
had lip existence. However, it was not neces-
sary to discuss that point further than as an an-
swer to the objections that had been taken to his
position._ It was perfectly evident that no writ
was sent in this •case, and he 'believed it would
not, be contended that the authority to grant,the
writ was eqed in the inhabitants of Birmingham.
But it had been said that no Representative had
been actually elected here ; that an individual
had merely been deputed to carry a letter to the
Speaker of the House of Commons, and request
permission of him 'to take his seat, and that in
the event of a refusal they should have willingly
submitted to the decision of the House. Now
-what were the words of-the Resolution, "that he
be requested to demand of the Speaker adniission
to the House of Commons as a Member there-
of." Could any thing be more decisive than this?
Did the act want any thing to make it complete ?
Certainly nothing but the deniand itself; the
election was full and perfect in all its points, and
the illegal act consummated. The attempt made
by the defendants' was highly criminal, not so
much by the particular acts at the meeting, but
by the sensation that was intended to be created
in different parts of the country. He knew what
creating a sensation meant, it bordered very
closely on a spirit of actual revolution. -If their
meetings had 'been held in every, county, who
could contemplate the result ? And they would
recollect, that meetings were advertised in seve'ral
of the manufacturing and populous districts,
openly and avowedly for the same purpose, when
this indictment was prepared, • and which were
checked by it ? The Learned Serjeant then
said, he came to the particular points of the
case ; no evidence had been called on the
part of the d'efendants, and had that which
he had produced been at all shaken by any thing
that had transpired ? he, contended that it had
ndt, and wept into a review of the evidence,
connecting it with the different acts charged in
the indictment, and commenting upon it ; he ex-
pressed it as his decided conviction, that nothing
could be more clear and conclusive. He hoped
to find, that the Jury, by their verdict, would
justify such conviction. With respect to the
very voluminous and equally irrelevant address
which his Lordship had indulged Major Cart-
wright to have read, he thought he should be
only acting a charitable part in abstaining from
comment upon it. The 'whole tenor of it was
of a wild and visionary nature, and he had
no disposition to deal harshly with the ve-
nerable Gentleman by exposing its falla-
cies. The allusion which he made to the Man-
chester meeting was alike indecent and improper,
and could have nothing to do' with the case be-
fore the Court. , As to the Meeting, at Birming-
ham, he thought he had evidently established
unity and co-operation among' the defendants.
What sympathy also should have induced Major
Cartwright and Wooler to travel all that distance
and arrive at the same moment ? He thought
enough had been said upon the' subject ; and
feeling hirre,elf fatigued from the lateness of the
hour, he should , shorten his -observatiotas, and
conclude with a recommendation that they would
judge fairly and impartially upon the merits of
the case as -established in evidence.

The Loan CHIEF )3Anox then proceeded to
sum up the evidence. His Lordship represented
to 'the Jury, that they were to exclude from
_their- consideration several topics upon which
they had been addressed that day. They were
.to pay. attention, merely. to what the Record had
placed before them, and to try the question whe-
ther:or not the offence charged in the indictment
against the defendants was 'committed. His Lord-
ship stated the charge from the indictment. He
said it.was a charge-of illegal eonduct,and if the
defendants were guilty of it, they were'guilty•of
a misdemeanor of' a high nature. That such was
the character of the offence charged, he had not
the shadow of a doubt. The only question, then,
for the Jury to determine was, had the charge
been substantiated; and ni)on this question they
would,be enabled to satisfy themselves by consi-
dering the evidence before them. His Lordship
then read the - evidence at length, interspers-
ing a few comments on the tendency of several
parts Ot it, and pointed the attention of the
Jury to those circumstances, which shoWed,
in his opinion, a concert on the part of the de-
fendants. . He remarked,. that no evidence had
been brought forward by the defendants, and al-
' thoughit would be much more gratifying to him
to find that any man was innocent' than guilty,
yet he felt it to be his duty.on this occasion to
state, that he had,-from the statements,of the de.
fendants themselves, received an impression that
they were- fully. guilty of - the- charges. which the
indictment set forth against-them: It would be
in the recollection-of. the fury, that on the pre=
vious night he had refused to one of the defend-
ants' Counsel (Mr. Hill) the permission to read a
written defence, after the address of the Counsel
in his behalf,and he did
.to, because it wasitrre'-
gular, and highly incouvement. However, he had
that day, in consideration' of the circumstauco
in which the particular defendant to whom.it be-
longed was placed, permitted it to be read. He
now regretted the indulgence, for as the Jury
could not have failed to perceive, it• contained
many—many things wholly contrary to law. He
felt that it was unnecessary to add a single word
more. The Jury were in possession of-the law
and,e evideingsanti-to .them tie resigned the

determination of 'the guilt or innocence of the de-
fendants.

The Jury then-retired, and after consulting to-
gether for 18 minutes, returhed a Verdict of
()rut LT Y against all the Defendants.
Before the.verdict was handed in, three. Bills
of Exceptions on the part of the defendants to
the opinion of the Judge, respecting the objec-
tions which had been urged in their behalf before
the trial, were presented.

The judge assured the defendants, that they
should have all justice done to, them. The dig-
nity, moderation, and impartiality of the Bench
were never more conspicuous than in the deport-
ment of >the Learned Chief Baron, from the
opening to the conclusion of this trial.
