account given. by Coleman of himself. and Were.the
too principal points upon which it was material his
account should have been confirmed and corroborated
beyond all -stisricion.
The centre-bit found upon Mr. Smith's premises;
nu the night tithe murder, and with which the holed
in the shutter had been borci, was also produced,
which was clean, and had the appearance of being
almost new. Upon its'being examined by the Ma-
gi 'mates, it had the appearance of the bit having been
hied, in order to make it fit the stock; and this ap-;
pearance was so a,:counted for by one of the witnesses.
A man, residing at Itushy-gresn, deposed, that the
said stock and hit (which together formed the car.
pentei's too! called a centre-hit) resembled very mucH
a stock and bit offered to him for sale by John Col's.
man, 4)n Saturday, the 21st of December; and the
witness at the time partictilarty. remarked, that the
bit did not fit the stock.

• A quantity of files and plough toots were produced
by the constable, Larkins, which had been detained
by ("human,. the landlord of the house occupied by
Colernan.it Rush;-green. for rent due from Coleman
to hire; and those tools he (the landlord) had -detained
on flie COleman left 'his hou4 there.
A part of these tools had been offered by Coleman
to•one of the witnesses (lliwlett) for sale, a very short
time before the murder of Mr. Smith. •
Another witness swore, that abort five or six weeks
ago, his shop at Deptford was broken open, and a
great quantity of files, centre-bits, and ploughs, were
stolen therefrom, ':id amongst the rest was the stock
of a centre-bit without any bit to it; add this witness
now identified the stock of the centre-bit left by the
assassins upon Mr. Smith's premises, And the•files
offered for sale by Coleman, anti the ploughs dis-
trained upon Coleman's premises by Ouzman, as a
part of the instruments stolen from his shop when the
same was broken into about five or six weeks ago. Such
was the principal, but not all the evidence given.
Upon this evidence, which forms a strong ground of
suspicion against Coleman, the Magistrates have
committed him to Maidstone Jail to take his trial ;
and it is only astonishing that, in a case of murder,
where no property was taken away to assist the dis-
covery, and no living witness has been found who
saw the assassins at the time, or after the murder
was perpetrated, so much circumstantial evidence
has in so short a time been got together.

PENKRIDGE WAKES.

_ ......--
This ancient festival was this year more than usually brilliant ; in
addition to the customary amusements of cock-fighting,
and other gentlemanly sports, there was horse and ass racing,
The first contest was between Mr. Cotton's Black and all Black,
Mr. Boothby's Challenger, and Mr. Bowker's Bother'etn, which
was won in high style by the former. On Tuesday, a ruatch be-
tween Mr. lioothby's Arabian, and Mr. J. Taylor's Crey Long
Ears, was won by Mr. Buothby ; but a dispute arising atter the
second heat the stakes were withdrawn. A match between' Mr.
Harper's Bay, and a mare from Stourbridge, on Wednesday, was
severely contested; the Bay had evidently the advantage, but this
was in a great degree compensated by the agility of the rider, who
contrived to have five falls during his ride round the Court,.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.

This morning, at half-past eleven o'clock, a Lady of
the most respectable appearance, who came in her cha.
not from Regent-street, bearing the initials of M.M.
drove to the Temple, where she was set down. Sheim-
mediately repaired to N 0.12, Paper-buildings, and pro-
ceeded to the Chambers of William Gaussen, Esq. when,
in a few minutes after, an alarming cry of " Murder!'
was heard emanating from that quarter. A great number
of persons instantly rushed up stairs, when it was found
the Lady had pulled out a pistol from her reticule and
presented it to his breast. Mr. Gaussen instantly acted
on self-defence, and endeavoured to rescue the deadly
weapon horn her grasp ; during the struggle the pistol
went off, and the contents were lo.lged in his hand. The
Lady was immediately conveyed to the Porter's Lodge,
King's Bench-walk, and sakly delivered into custody.

HUNTING.

The Brighton Subscription Pack of Harriers, in their three days
of action last week, were desirably successful in producing good di-
versi nn . About seventy horsemen were with them on Monday,
one hunched and thirty on Wednesday, and eighty on Friday.- On
the two former days, a leads of hares was the spoil of each, and a
btaceon the latter. One hare, on the first day, held them in a run
of ten miles, without check, ere she tell a victim to her well-
trained pursuers.
On the I q of November, Colonel Wyndham will again appear
in the neighbourhood of Brighton, and continue in it for about a
month or six weeks, with his staunch pack at Fox Dogs, the fleetest
and best conditioned fur hunting over the Downs, we doubt not, in
the kingdom. The resident sportsmen are in high spirits, and an-
ticipate some hi Mien exploits.
The Earl of Darlington's Fox Hounds will meet to-morrow, at
Vk'ittou Castle Plantations; and on Friday, at Summer-house Vil-
lage; each day at ball-past ten o'clock.

The Lainhtwan kow Hounds will meet on Thursday at Brance.

PEDESTRI A ISM.N

Monday last, a foot-race of four miles, for twenty pounds, wale
decided on the new road from Bury to Bolton, between Berry, the
noted Lancashire pedestrian, and a weaver of the same neighbour-
hood, also a famous runner, and won by the former. He completed
the distance in twenty-two minutts and a half.
Saturday the 517th ult. a wager was made, that a son of Joseph
Mirehouse,-of the Wheatsbeaf, Egrernont, only four years of age,
would' run a mile in twenty minutes. The youthful pedestrian
started, and to the astonishment of every one, accomplibhed the
task in twelve minutes. The boy weighs o: ly two stone.

SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.
Monday last a hare was discovered by Mr. Thomas, of the Nel-
son Inn, near Southampton, on the mud near low-water mark. It
was likewise observed by several, Gentit men in the same pc&tion
for three bouts. Mr. J. Hostler, having fit-St provided himself wiih
a pair of mud-rattens, proceeded to the spot with a Newfoundiand
aiog, when both hare and dog immediately plunged. into the water,
and scvpt.il times totally disappeared from the astonished gaze ut (be
spectators. • Ai length, after a chace of about !.20 mintr:e4, dining
which the poor animal made no less than 30 turns to escape the vi-
gilance of its pursuers, tar hare was taken and killed under the wails
of the Spa Gardens.

Mr. Montgomery, whom the prisoner bad mentioned as the per.
son who Smith told him had reconuncnded him, was also in attend,.

prisoner to anybody In any instance, and that he had no knowledge
nor reek heard of either Smith or the transaction till he saw his
name in the Papers. The rimier was then told that the parties
were not prepared to proceed further on his case at present, and lie
was accordingly remanded, .

(Colliery), near Wititehaven, occasioned by an explosion
of lire-damp; inconsequence of which thirty-two per-
sons were unfortunately killed, viz. fourteen men,
teen boys, and-two girls. Seventeen horses were also
killed. It is impossible to ascertain the particulars of
this terrible catastrophe. That the explosion was occa-
sioned by an accumulation of fire damp, is almost all
that. is certainly known. The sufferers were employed

were strictly enjoined tuuse the Davy safety lamp; but
alas! familiarity with; danger commonly .engenders

and in less than half an hour would have left the pit.—

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.

" PA BIS, JULY 3, P. M.
•
" Official intelligence has reached. Paris this morn-
ing of the destruction of the corps of Lopez Banos, by
Bourmont, at St. Juan del Puerto, with the loss of all
his artillery. Part of it was already embarked for Cadiz,
when the officers of a troop of 300 French dragoons
dismounted,- charged one of the enemy's guns and a
howitzer, fired upon the hoats and brought them to.
Banos escaped in a boat, attended by only two or
three of his officers. By this affair the Constitutional
Army in Estremadura is completely broken up and
destroyed."

Madrid Gazettes to the 26th of June have been re-
ceived. The Deputation of the Grandees of Spain,,
as soon as they knew of the force exercised towards
the KING at Seville, convoked a General Assembly
of the Grandees, when the Duke de SAN FERNANDO,
the President of the Deputation, proposed an Ad-
dress to the Regency. He observed, in doing so,
that the former Declaration of the Spanish Nobles had
been received •, with universal approbation from the
Pyrennees to the Pillars of Hercules!" and had been
circulated in foreign countries ; that they were now
bound by the most sacred obligations to avenge the
wrong done to their Sovereign, to whose aid, ac-
cording to the old laws of Spain, " all his vassals
should hasten, without distinction of rank or even of
sex, if he should be held in captivity by rebels;" and
that they, therefore, could not hesitate to offer their
lives and fortunes.in so just a cause. The following
Address was agreed to :

THE ARMY.

This morning the Duke of Yoax, attended by a numerous train
of Field-Officers, reviewed, in Hyde-Park, the first and second
Battalions of the Ist Regiment of Foot Guards, of which Regi-
ment his Royal Highness is Colonel. On his arrival, his Royal
Highness was received with military honours : after which he
passed along the whole line. The Battalions afterwards passed
his Royal Highness in slow and quick time. The usual ma-
noeuvres followed ; and, at the conclusion, his Royal Highness
expressed himself much pleased at the high state of discipline,
and steady conduct of the men under arms. The fineness of the
morning attracted a great number of potions ; and, amongst the
numerous groups, there were several Ladies of rank.
' The Ist Veteran Battalion was on Thursday week reviewed
at Galway.
Monday the Members of the Third Troop of Ipswich Yeo-
manry Cavalry, under the command of Captain Car, had a strong

wards partook of a collation at the house of that Gentleman.
Monday, Lieutenant-General Lord Comusmafts, Sir Cot:-
4171101 M G WM?, and several other Officers of distinction, reviewed
the Queen's Royal Regiment in the Phcenix•Park, Dublin. The
corps was commanded by its Colonel in person, •Major-General
Sir H. TOMLIN!, K.C. B. &c. Adjutant-General to the Forces,
and the new system of manauvre introduced by Sir Hexer, and
to be adopted by the Army, was displayed by a *rapidity of move-
ment and precision which drew forth Vae commendation of every
one present on the occasion.
The 14th Light Dragoons, lately quartered in Birmingham, left
on Thursday, for Kingston, and are to be relieved by the 2d Re-
giment of Dragoon Guards, or Queen's Bays, from York.
The Cavalry Barracks at Newbridge, in Ireland, sustained
considerable damage by an accidental fire, on Friday night.
The entire of the near wing has fallen a prey to the devouring

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived last night.
ne Journal des Dads contains the following inte-
resting intelligence of the proceedings at Cadiz since
the arrival there of the KING and Cortes:—

" MADRID, JUNE 26.

We have received letters from Cadiz to the 20th inst.
a The Cortes re-assembled on the 18th. The nominal appeal
prowl that one hundred and ten Members were present, and that
cipher being sufficient to deliberate, the Sitting was opened.
1, The Cortes commenced by declaring that the Regency had
deserved well of the country. They received the congratulations
of the municipality of Cadiz, and referred to a special commis-
sion the proposition made by several Members to invite the Go.
vernment to indicate the means of rescuing the country from the
real crisis in which it is placed.
44 The Cortes afterwards occupied themselves with unitary
measures and with regulations relating to the laying up of pro-
visions. They also declared, that considering the imminent
Jager which threatened the country, it was expedient to ap-
ply the 808th Article of the Constitution, and they directed the
Connuittee of Legislation to present without delay a project of
law to suspend forms in all prosecutions for crimes of high trea-
son and conspiracy.
The Royal Family was transferred, on the 18th inst. to the
Palace of the Custom- House, which it is to occupy.
4. Sancho Salvador, Minister of War, cut his throat with a
Mgt on the morning of the 18th, after having spent the night
burning his papers. Ile left a writing, in which he declared that
be could sot survive the disasters Which he had witnessed, and
that he terminated his life with the consolation of never having
committed any crime.
" The city of Cadiz refused to admit the Madrid Volunteers,
w!:o r_mained in the Isle of Leon. The defences of that island
are net far advanced, and the garrison is not sufficiently numerous
to defend all the works. There are scarcely five thousand men
to guard both the Isle of Leon and Cadiz. General Vigodet
has taken the command of all the troops ; Zayas is not trusted.
The two divisions of Bourdesoult and Bourmont must have et.
fcced their junction on the 25th, before Cadiz. Our squadron
had also arrived in the Bay, and must have established its com-
munications with the land."

FRENCII PAPERS.

Aftfr mir Paper was at press yesterday, we re-
:ored the Pat is Papers of Saturday evening by ex-
resr, as Weil as a Telegraphic Dispatch, which an-
'Tinted The entry of General Molitor into Saragossa,
rhere he found forty-eight pieces of cannon, and a
lumber of bombs. The blockade of Mecprinenza
as been raised, in consequence of the movements of
fr..nral Molitor, who marched on Lerida. Ballas-
tros has fallen back upon Valencia.
The re-t of the news in the Paris Papers of Satur-
lay and Sanday rests on the authority of the Ultra
Jounlalists, who represent the French army as every
:eceived with enthusiasm in Spain; and yet
the DoJ d'Angouleme's head-quarters. are still at
Vittoria ; and it is said that he requires a reinforce-
ment of thirty thousand men, which is to be sent to.
Spain immediately.

total numb* diabetes in Reinburgit was 21,000; of
these many were doubtless in the possession alternates:
.Mr. lIUME said, that although there were2l,ooo
houses in Edinburgh, the number of those worth £5
per annum and' upwards was only 10,168, and of
these 6,800 had signed the Petition. In number and
value, the Petition bore the signatures of three•fou ;
if not four4fths, of the respectable householders.-
After a few words from Mr. DRUMMOND, the Pe-a,
titian was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. ABERCROMBY rose to more that the Peti-
tion be printed; and took that opportunity to reply
to some of the remarks which had been made upon
the manner in which the Petition was signed. The
fact was. that at every place where the Petition had
lain for signatures, one of the Committee appointed
to conduct the Petition had remained there also, and
used every possible exertion to prevent any persons
from signing it whose houses were in value under £5
per annum. He reAoiced in the opposition to the Pe-
tition, being convinced from experience that opposi-
tion only stimulated the people in the pursuit of their
rights. He thought, too, that the sneers and sar
casms bestowed upon the Petitioners might have
been spared—(Hear, hear).
Mr. KENNEDY said, the value of the houses of
the unrepresented inhabitants of Edinburgh was
upwards of £300,000 per annum, while that- of the
represented portion was only £2,788.
The Petition was then ordered to he printed. •
Mr. GOULBURN rose to request the Noble Lord
opposite (Lord A. Hamilton) would consent to post-
pone his motion respecting the state of the County
Representation in Scotland, which stood fixed for to-
morrow, in order to enable him (Mr. Goulb'nrn) to
introduce a measure of the utmost importance to the
Public: he meant the Irish Insurrection Act.

Lord A. HAMILTON regretted it was not in his
power to accede to the request of the Honourable
Gentleman. In consequence of having consented to
part from the same measure last year, he had lost
the opportunity of bringing it forward during that
Session. He begged the Right Honourable Gentle-
man would believe that his refusal' was gro_snded
upon the very same motives which had influinced
the Right Honourable Gentleman in making the re-
quest—a sense of" public duty.

IRISH TITHES.

Mr. VESRY FITZGERALD put a question to Mr. Gouts
burn, whether he intended that night to propose the Committee
on the Tithe Composition Bill? He was of opinion that the
better way would he to give sufficient time for the deliberate
eun.ideration of the Rill to those moat concerned.-he in. ant the
Representatives of Ireland, as there were certain difficulties that
could only be got over by such previous deliberation, and the
discussion of the details would be thereby greatly facilitated.
Mr. GOU LIM R N objected to postpone the meant,. While
the House should be engaged in the inquiry which had been just
commenced, it would he impossible for him to give the subject
of Tithes the full consideration it dentin led ; but he should cer-
tainly et.deavour to make some progress in it.

ants of the Borough of Shaftestniry, praying for the 'radii:dab°.

THE GREEKS.

Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated July 17 :
" Several of our late letters from England have
-handed us an'account of the formation •of a Greek
Committee in England, for the purpose of raising a
subscription to aid the Gieeks in their insurrection
against the Turkish Government. This intelligence
has inspired very great alarm among the Euro-
peans here; and we cannot help thinking that the
English people have shewn but little concern for
the safety of their countrymen here, in taking a step
which is calculated to irritate this barbarous peo-•
ple, and bring about a general massacre, not only
of the Greeks, but of all the Franks (Europeans)
in this place, and.also in other parts of Turkey.—
To make the probability of this event the more ap-
parent to you, it is only necessary to mention the im-
possibility of persuading the Turks that the act of the
subscribers to the subscription is not the act of the
Government; as they have no idea that a few indi-
viduals can dare to disobey the will, or act in oppo-
sition to their Government. In this despotic country,
the will of the ruler is the law of the people ; and any
body of the Ottomans, who presume to act in the
slightest deg; ee in opposition to the orders of the
Grand Seignior, would soon have their heads .ex-
posed on the walls of the Seraglio. Thii naturally
tenders them sceptical as to the possibility of any-
body of subjects combining together to raise and
further an object adverse to the system and policy
of their Sovereign, and induces them to imagine
that our Government secretly acquiesces in the
design, although openly professing neutrality.—
In speaking of the ignorance of our Constitution, of
course I allude to the Turkish populace, or rather
rabble, who are always the active executioners of the
sanguinary scenes so often known in this country,
and who hi these massacres alone disobey their rulers.
We understand from advices from Constantinople,
that the Grand Seignior has received full accounts of
all the proceedings of the Greek Committee, trans-
lated into the Tut kish language, not even excepting
the accounts of the ratious speeches at the meet•
ings on the subject. AC present this knowledge
is confined to the Authorities of Turkey, and is
not possessed by the populace; but we much fear
it cannot long be concealed from them, as England
has enemies in Tut key willing to inflame and create
any breach between her and the Ottoman Go-
vernment. • Should it reach the ears of the people,
that a subscription is raising in England to assist the
Greek:, we have everything to fear from their exas-
peration, and it would be a chance if any European
would escape; for, under their general denomina-
tion of us, as Franks, an indiscriminate slaughter
would ensue.

MARY-LA-BONNE OFFICE.

~~.

Yesterday Mrs. Lee appeared to prefer a charge of assault
against the Duke de St. Lorenzo, whom she accused of having
kicked her, and turned her out of the hall, when she went to
claim a small debt due for miliiuery furnishes' to the Duchess.
The Duke was present, and solemnly denied the charge ;sand it
was proved by the servants that his Grace merely turned her
out, in consequence of the violent noise she made in the halt
while the family were at dinner. It was also stated that she
had several times annoyed the Duchess, insisting on her Grace
paying for millinery for which she was not respod.ible, it having
been furnished to a woman who was formerly one of her larly'v
maids, whose present address at Paris, tke servants had gives
her. The Magistrate censured the conduct of Mrs. Lee, and
dismissed the warrant.
