" SIR-.4n reading the STae, dated Friday, July 16,-under the
head of the Army, I round the following statement, viz.—' T. e
guns left at Tarragona, by Sir JONI'S MURRAY compost(' the
identical train with which Lord WELLINGTON reduced Badajaz.
They were seat back to the Tagus embarked there tor Ahearn,
and taken from thence with the expedition under the direction of
a distinguished Officer of Artillery, who had been promoted
hl3 merit at Badajoz,' &c. Sce. `.—As this may have conveyed
an idea to your Readers that the Artillery Officer alluded to as
having been at Badajoz, was really at Tarragona, I ant happy to
inform you that neither 1 or any of the guns that were thFre,
were with Sir JOHN MURRAY at farragona. The fact is, some
gun carriages alone were sect to Alicant from Portugal, the heavy
ordnance, ammunition, and stoves, arrived from England ;-t-and
I gave up the command of the Artillery, and left Sir lo MN MO Se.
RAY'S army for Portugal, almost immediately after the action at
Camila, on the ISth of April. " H. Hotcostai

PRICE OF BREAD.
The Loan MAYOR having issued several hundred
sUmmonses for Bakers, &c. kc. to attend at the Man-
sion House yesterday, his Lordship took the Chair at
an early hour. He stated that, ending the returns to
the Mansion House of Flour had of late been at-
tended with great irregularities, and that more than
three hundred in number of the returns were this
week made wholly at ninety shillings per sack;
whilst many of their neighbours, most respectable
Bakers, had made their respective returns at eighty
and eighty-five per sack; his Lordship, whose uty
it was to set the Assize of Bread from the average
price of Flour, felt himself consequently called upon
to summon the parties before him, in order to give
them an opportunity to correct such returns, or to
enter into such explanation as they themselves must
know was conformable to the Act of Parliament.
His Lordship observed, that the liberal way of esti-
mating the average value of Flour, was to take it at
fifteen shillings per sack below %bat was the average
of wheat : and as Wheat at present was not Gnl7 gr.
nerally good, but averaged at eighty-nine shillings
per sack, he should certainly feel it his province to
institute weekly every legal enquiry, until the price
of Flour had got down to its proper level.
Several were fined 40s. each, with a suitable a&
minition, and told by his Lordship that the way to
avoid the like for the future, would be to adhere
strictly to the Oath they were obligated by an express
Act of Parliament to subscribe to on entering into
this particular line of business.

MR. SALE'S GUINEAS.

UNION-Hatt.—Tuesday this important case came
on for further consideration before Mr. BIRNIZ.

The Solicitor for the Mint attended, and requested
a week's further delay, he having got further infor-
mation, and wishing for an opportunity to take the
opinion of the Attorney-Gener.d, who was at pre-
sent out of tot., n.

When requested by Mr. ALLEY to state What his
newly-acquired information was, he declined, on the
grounds that it would nut be prudent to do so. Mr.
Alley then protested in strong terms against any farther
delay ; he knew nu right the Attorney-General could
have to give any opinion on the subject of his client's
property, which had already been detained from hint
one week, aad occasion was now sought to keep it
out of his possession another seven days.
Mr. Blame thought it would be desirable to have
the opinion of the High LawlAuthorities on this case,
it it could be obtained without much delay. He had,
however, g.ven no opinion on the subject, either of
the retention of the gold, or delivering it up to the
officers, and prohibly if he were to give his advice
they tvould not follow it.
Goff and*Clark, the officers who seized the money,
were then called in, and the Worthy Magistrate, after
cautioning them, that however they acted, they
would do it at tht!ir own peril, asked them If they
were willing to give the money-up ? Both replied,
they would father not give it up till they had heard
the opinion of the Attorney-General.
Mr. A Lute then demanded of the officers where the
money was deposited ? They, however, contented
themselves with merely replying, it was safe.
Mr. Sale then, under the direction of his Counsel,
made a formal demand of his property of the officers;
.who, without hesitating, refused to give it up. He
then demanded where it was, but received no iafor-
Imation on that pint.
Mr. ALLliii then, after again protesting against
the farther detention of the property, gave the officers
notice, that proceedings would immediately be insti-
tuted, both against those who detained and those who
advised the detention of the property of his client.—
' He also wished the officers to understand, that it was
not his ;amnion to proceed against them by arrest,
as for It simple debt, and thereby affording. them an
opportunity of tendering_the amottnt in Bank notes,
and retaining possession of the guineas, but lie should
proceed in a different and more summary manner.
And one •which he cautioned them might not turn out
so protitablY as they expected.
Mr. Bowl.: then stated to Mr. Sale, that he had
'fixed Tuesday next for the final, hearing of this ques.
lion, unless he should, previous to that time, have
adopted some more summary way of recoveridg his
property.

life, by stabbing her with a knife, and also with le-
velling a loaded pistol at his sister, swearing that he
would blow her brains out The charge was folly
proved; but, from the prisoner's behaviour whilst at
the bar, he evinced all the marks of an insane person.
He was committed to the House of Cdrrection, and
the parties were advised by the Magistrates to apply,
at the Quarter Sessions, ill order to have him detained
as a lun,tic.
