The following has been issued by Lord Palinerston to

" I have to acquaint you, with reference to the charges
which have been hitherto made in the regimental accounts
for marching allowance, fur men employed in aid of the
Civil Power in Ireland, that marching allowances can in
no case be given, unless the men for whom the charge is
made are marching by route."
It is stated that the Militia Staff are to recruit for the

LINCOLN, AUG. 19.—The neighbourhood
of this city has, during the last fey,- days, been visited with
very heavy showers, which have caused a temporary sus-
pension in the getting in of the harvest. However since
more than half of the corn is got in, it is questioned
whether the rain has not done snore good to the turnips
than narm to the corn by the slight discolouration it may
have sustained ; and, we hope that, as two days of fine
weather have intervened, harvest work shortly be re-
sumed.—Boston Gazette.

door and windows were speedily demolished, and blood-
shed was only prevented by the prompt 4.rrival of the po-
lice. The officers found the child in the bed, quite dead,
with its face much discoloured. The parents stated that
they went to bed on the previous night, with the child
between them, and when they awoke in the morning found
it in the situation already described. The indifference ex-
hibited by the parents excited strong suspicion, and they
were taken into custody. Their neighbours stated that
they were in the habit of neglecting their children, and
that they had gone to bed in a state of drunkenness.

ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE, Auc. 21.
COINING.
•

Shadrach Walker was indicted for high treason in bar-
ing possession of a certain cutting machine for the felonious
purpose of cutting blanks, for coining, from flatted bars of
metal, at East Greenwich on the 2310 f Dec. 1826.
Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW, Mr. GURNEY, Mr. Noracx, and
Mr. BonLANn attended for the Crown ; and Mr. ADOL-
rims defended the prisoner.
Mr. Sergeant ONSLeW stated the case to the Jury, and
observed that the prisoner bad been connected with Buck-
ley and Andrews, who bad since suffered the punishment
of their crimes. He did not mention that fact to prejudice
the prisoner ; but it would come out in evidence, and he
trusted they would pay attention to evidence alone. The
Learned Sergeant stated the facts of the case, to prove
which he called the following witnesses :
Mr. Powell, son of the Solicitor for the Mint, stated,
that having received some information, he went to No. 6,
Skelton-lane, Greenwich, on Saturday the 23d of De-
cember, in company with his father, John Limbrick, and
other Officers. Having knocked at the door, it
was opened by the prisoner, who was in his shirt
sleeves. They secured him, and found up stairs a
cutting machine, and a great number of cut blanks.
of the sizes of sovereigns, half-crowns, shillings, and six-
pences ; also an edging tool, for the purpose of raising the
edges of the blanks, and a forge and bellows in the fire-
place ; together with some crucibles and flasks for melting
and casting.
This evidence was corroborated by other witnesses, who
produced the engine, crucibles, &c. with 3,400 blanks, the
size of a shilling.
Thomas Walters, a smith and dealer in marine stores,
deposed, that the engine produced was brought to him to
alter by Buckley and the prisoner; that they each gave orders,
and that Buckley paid for the orders given by both. They
both assisted him in working on it. He did not know for
what purpose it was intended.

The defence set up was, that the prisoner was a working
jeweller, and that every thing found in the house was a
part of his working tools; the blanks being cut to make
buttons; to prove which the prisoner called Mr. Samuel
Delves, a goldsmith and jeweller, of No. 17, Broad-street,
Gelden-square, who stated that he had an engine of the
same description as the one produced, in daily use for years
in his business, and that all the other tools could be used
in working jewellery. The prisoner had worked for him
up to within a few months of his apprehension, and a snore
industrious, honest young man had never been employed by
him. He would willingly take him again into his service
if liberated, and the witness gave the prisoner a good cha-
racter.

The Jury after two hours' deliberation, returned a ver-
dict of Not Guilty.
George Nightingale was indicted for robbing the Dover
Mail of the Italian letter bag, on the 27th of January last.
Mr. AnoLruus and Mr. BRODERICK, for the defence,
proved, however, so clear an alibi, that the Jury acquitted
the prisoner. About forty English and Foreign witnesses
attended upon this trial. After the prisoner was acquit-
ted, however, he was again taken by some of the town
officers on a charge of being concerned in a robbery, at a
fight, some time since in Oxfordshire, and again consigned
to durance vile.
