accomplice, but done,ad been spoken to on the busi-
ness before it was and who, from that conger-
cation, was able to say on the day that he heard such
a robbery was committed, that he was sure he knew
the persons who had done it. This Sayers, who wads
no accomplice, most materially confirmed the story
which the accomplices had told. He must also direct-
their attention to the circumstance of a trunk being
found with the same marks which were described in
the invoice of the goods shipped from Gibraltar, in
the Velocity. Aster dwelling for a considerable time
on the evidence in support tithe prosecution, he then
came to the defence. All the defendants, except
Cooper and Harris, had contented themselves with
spea :ing generally of the extreme badness of the
characters of the witnesses against them, who were
accomplices. Cooper, however, wished the jury to
believe that he bought those geods, conceiving them
to be smuggled ; and represented, that from the si-
tuation in life which he described himself to hold

(turning in his three shops 3617,000 per annum), it
could not be supposed that he• would be guilty of the
action imputed to him. Harris also stated himself
as entirely innocent with respect to this transaction,
and to conceiving those to have been smuggledgoods.
He had, as almost all of them had, many witnesses
to his character. Cooper's witnesses were of rather
an extraordinary description. Tatlock, indeed, spoke
to the impossibility of swearing particularly to the
silk which had been found. Other men, however,
equally conversant with him in the silk trade, had
thought otherwise. The extraordinary part of his
defence, however, was,• that he appeared to think,
that if he proved that he had been in the habit of
smuggling or violating the laws in other respects,
an inference should be formed in his favour that he
did not buy those goods knowing them to be stolen.
It was an extraordinary principle, indeed, to expec-
that a Jury would infer that a man was incapable of
committing a particular crime, by his bringing proof
that he had committed others. It had been proved,
that he had been prosecuted for obstructing Revenue
Officers in the discharge of their duty, and for de-
frauding the revenue in the duties on spirits ;—and
upon this proof he relied, that the Jury would infer
that he did not know those goods to be stolen. It,
however, by no means followed, that because a man
was a smuggler, he was not also a receiver of stolen
goods. The Jury would weigh all the circumstances
which had come out in the evidence, and consider
whether they did not sufficiently confirm the testi-
mony of the accomplices, in Ise charge as it applied
to him. The same observations would apply to the
defence set up by Harris. If it,were true that he
had been often an agent in selling smuggled silk, did
it follow from that, that he might not also have been
employed in the sale of silk which he knew to be
stolen ? It was for the Jury to say, upon all the evi-
dence which had been produced,• whether they be-
lieved Cooper and Harris to have known that the
silk was stolen or not. After many more observa-
tions, and pointing out the bearings of the evidence
as affecting the case of each of the prisoners sepa-
rately, he left the case to the determination of the
Jury.
One of the Jurymen then rose, and after expressing
the gratitude of himself and his brother jurors for
the kind manner in which they had been treated,
said, that as in this important cause they felt they
were under the eye of the public, they wished to
know whether they might not have a copy or abstract
of the indictment.

This was accordingly granted without any objec-
tion, and the Jury then withdrew.
The Jury remained several hours out of Court,
and on their return, which took place exactly at 12
o'clock at night, they delivered the following verdict:
Winter, Allen, and Taylor, GUILTY—Death. Ivey
and Cooper, GUILTY— Transportation. Knox and
Harris, NOT GUILTY.

Judge THOMPSON then ob;erved, that the Public
were much indebted to the Prosecutors for their ex-
ertions in this business ; aid that their expences
should be allowed them.

The Foreman of the Jury requested the Court,
that in consideration of the fatigue which they had
Undergone, their farther attendance might be dis-
pensed with during the rest of the Session. With
this request the Court immediately complied.

HATTON-GARDEN.—Yesterday several shopkeepers
and publicans were summoned by the Agents of the
Society for suppressing of Vice, for serving on the
Sabbath-day, and were convicted in the penalty of
10s. and costs. •

. MARLBOROUGII-STREET: -- DISTURBING A METHO-
DIST MELTING.-G. Kitchener and --- Dimond, ap-
prentices, were charged with disturbing Mr. Wildey,
a licensed preacher, at his room in Howland Mews,
Tottenham-court-road. It appeared that Kitchener
in particular bad disturbed the congregation for the
last six months. On Wednesday se'nnight he re-
paired again to the meeting-house, and disturbed the
place by unnatural coughing, &c. when the Preacher
left his desk, and turned him down stairs. The de-
fendant, by his conduct at the door, in challenging
Mr. W. to fight, swearing, &c. prevented the congre-
gation's quiet, and he made a promise to send some
rowing lads on the next Sunday. On the day ap-
pointed, a gang of hackney-coachmen, after forcing
the door-keeper from his station, proceeded up stairs,
upset the stools, struck at the preacher, and threw
the place into the utmost confusion, by singing flash
songs, swearing, &c.—Kitchener was ordered to find
bail, but the prosecutor consented to his release, on
condition that the constable should hold the warrant
to apprehend him again, if required. There was no
case against Dimond.
RESURRECTION MAN.—T. Spencer was charged with
having been found in St. Andrew's Church-yard,
Holborn, on Sunday night, and with being there for
the purpose of stealing dead bodies. An officer stated
that two dead bodies were removed from graves in
that church-yard on Friday and Saturday night ; in
consequence of which, on Sunday night, he took his
station in a concealed corner of the church-yard, and
about twelve o'clock the prisoner came with a large
basket, which contained a sack, a chissel, and other
implements- The officer immediately seized him,
and conducted him to the watch-house. The priso-
ner, in his defence, said he was a carpenter, andthat
the basket and tools found in his possession were things
necessary for his business. On Sunday night he had
been out drinking with some friends, and got into the
church-yard he knew not how.—l-je was remanded.

THE PARSERriffIOROF GAM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
SIR—As Partridges have been so much destroyed
•by the wet summers, that one or two more such
breeding seasons as this and the last would render
the game extremely scarce ; and guns, as well as
shooting, are brought to such perfection, that in a
very few years the game will be nearly, if not com-
pletely, annihilated. I beg to suggest to you a hint
which, if taken and adopted, would give infinite satis-
faction to every one who sports like a gentleman.—
What I have to propose is, that Partridge thootiag
should be deferred till thefra of October in every succeed-.
ing year ; whereby the great quantity of scarcely
Hedged birds, which are caught and destroyed by
dogs, and often dispersed in hedges and destroyed by
those who wish to make up their favourite number ;
and the immensity of young pheasants satchelled by
whole nides, in the standing corn, would all escape the
clutches of and be saved for the
- amusement of the fair sportsman! From this regulation
there would accrue another advantage—namely, that it
would preclude the possibility of trampling down the
standing corn and breaking the fences, which protect it,
and thereby prevent many unpleasant disputes between
the sportsman and the fanner. In a word, r main-
tain that any man, who will start an objection to this
proposition, under the present circumstances, must be
in his heart a destroyer, and not a fair shooter of
Game ; and should this hint be the meets of adopt-
ing some plan for retrieving, before it is too late, the
lamentable and daily-increasing scarcity of Partridges
the circumstance will give infinite satisfaction to, Sir,
your obedient humble Servant,
A FAIR SPORTSMAN.

EXTRAORDINARY SHOT.--A few days ago JAMES
WESTWICK, SIT HENRY VANE TEMPEST'S keeper,
being in the gun-room at Wynyard, Durham, saw.a
hare from the window at some distance ;—at Sir
HENRY'S express wish he shot the hare, at the sue.
prising distance 'of 155 yards.
Saturday last three men were convicted before the
Magistrates in the full penalty of £5 each, for fishing
in the River Severn, near Gloucester, with the intent
to destroy the salmon, during the fence months. . •
Friday morning about half past four o'clock, the
Liverpool mail-coach overturned while entering into
Kendal, in consequence of the fore-wheels coming
off. There were four inside passengers, of whom one
had his right hand severely lacerated, and another an
arm hurt ;
..fortunately there were no outside passen-
gers, and the guard and driver were unhurt. -
Pilgrimage through the Westphalian States was
forbidden in June.; • notwithstanding which 400 indi-
viduals persisted in going in procession to Kevelser,
in September, and being opposed by the gend4rmerie,
a skirmish ensued, which terminated in 22 of them
being killed, and 30 wounded.

Saturday morning eight persons, attended by a
strong military escort, passed through Leeds on their
way to York Castle. They were committed by Mr.'
RADCLIFFS, from Huddersfield, charged with offences
connected with the unhappy disturbances which have
been so prevalent in the manufacturing districts.
We briefly noticed in our Paper of Friday, that
during the late gales a number of persons employed
in building a lighthouse on the Tuscar Rock, near
Wexford, had been lost. The following are some
further particulars relative to the melancholy catas-
trophe :—Government having ordered a light-house
to be erected on.Tuscar Rock, near Wexford, Mr.
Needham, an architect, was sent thither in the course
of the summer, with about 25 persons experienced in
such works. For their accommodation they con-
structed near the place three small wooden houses :
theie habitations were at high water 40 feet above
, the level of the sea : on the morning of the 19:h it
blew a perfect hurricane, the waves broke over them,
and the unhappy inhabitants were obliged to leave
their huts, of which, in two minutes, not a vestige re. ,
mained, and fasten themselves by ropes to large stones
preparing for the building, and weighing a ton, or a
ton and a half each ; which ponderous stones were,
nevertheless, dashed about by the waves like so many
pebbles. Some of the persons, who had fastened
themselves to the stones, were killed, and others forced
from their hold into the ocean. The survivors, after
continuing in this perilous situation during two tides,
were at length discovered (the weather having be-
come more mild) by the boat employed to attend the
rock. They had remained from Sunday noon till
Wednesday morning, without any sustenance. .In
the evening ten of the unfortunate men were con-
veyed to Wexford ; three were brought to the hospi-
tal, one of whom had his leg broken, and the others
were much hurt. In short all suffered in some manner.
Sufferers, inhabitants of Dublin--Mr. John Needham, inspec-
tor; Pat. Byrne, Samuel Cooke, Philip Brady, John salmon,_
John Keoghoe, Miles Ryan, sad John Keogh.—Survivors—Wil--
Bum Moore, Andrew Kinikela, Edward Breen, Walter Walsh,
James Fitzpatrick, Michael Ryan, Bryan Carrot, and John Ka-
vanagh.

Suiferers, inhabitants of Wexford—Richard Meyler, John Ed-
ward, 'William Bishop, Wm.Devereux, Jasper Corish, an .1 James
Nowlan.—Survivors—T. Barrington, Pat. Dillun, and Nisholas
Cahill.

A young woman of Knottingley, aged 21, lately',
fell into the fire, by whicb she was so much bunted
as to occasion her death. At the same place a fine
boy, 7 years old, playing in a boat, fell into the river
and was drowned; and on Saturday last, a young
woman, 19 years of age, servant in a family, while
engaged in her usual employ, taddenly expired.
DUBLIN, Ocr. 29.—1 n the warmth of electioneer-
ing, a Mr. ROBINSON, of Clunmell, a friend of Mr.,
BAGWELL, publicly asserted in the coffee-room, on.
Friday night, that Mr. PRITTIE had no command of
money. This was contradicted by Lieutenant WARE,
of Tipperary. A wager of 200 guineas was instantly
laid between these Gentlemen, upon Mr. Parrriz'a
being able to lodge a sum of £lO,OOO in good bank
notes in the Clonmell Bank, before twelve o'ciJck at
noon on the ensuing day (Saturday).—lt wax de-
duced to writing. Lieutenant Waste instantly *P.
plied to Mr. SCULLY, who was actually going to ten-
der a large sum to Mr. Pamir.. Mr. SCULLY lodged
the required sum of 4e10,000, in the Bank, at Mr.
Plumes disposal, and in his name, one whole hour
before the time appointed. The gall Ant Lieutenant
triumphantly bore the Accountable Receipt to Mr.
ilrosiNsoN ; and, upon a reference,-he was decreed
entitled to the wager, and has actually onched the
200 guineas.
