We regret to leant' that the wife of General Ritmo,
as also a sister and brother of the General, are now
residing in humble lodgings in the vicinity of the City
Road, in circumstances far from comfortable. What
are the Spanish Committee doing with their money,
when such near connections of the unfortunate Hero of
the Constitutional cause are thus neglected? And at
such a moment as the present, when the mental an-
guish they must feel, in consequence of the uncertain
fate of their relative, stands so much in need of alle-
viation?
The increase in the Revenue of the Customs, at Li-
verpool, for the Quarter ending the 10th of October

The Carlisle Patriot, received this morning, devotes
two columns to a report of some proceedings at the
Town Hall, in that city, as well as at the Penrith Ses-
sions, between one of the Proprietors of the Times news-
paper, and Mr. DOWLING, of the Morning Chronicle. It
appears that the Editor of the Glasgow Chronicle had
promised to send to the I Imes Office a report of the
Whig Dinner at Glasgow, which did not come to hand,
and suspicion fell on Mr. DOWLING, who.had been to
Glasgow, that he had inttrcepted the parcel. A war-
tant was taken out against Mr. DOWLING, who was ar-
rested while attending the Birmingham Festival, and
conveyed to Carlisle. • A long examination took place
at the Public Office, when the Magistrates sent the bu-
slness to the Sessions at Penrith. There Mr. pious,
on the part of the Times, presented a Bill, charging Mr.
DOWLING with intercepting the parcel at the Carlisle
coach office; and Mr. DOWLING presented a Bill, charg-
ing certain parties with a conspiracy. The Grand
Jury, however, no doubt thinking it
Strange that such disputes should be,
'Tsviit Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dec,
threw ot*both Bills; and here the matter rests at present.

LATE CONVICTIONS usasa ras VAGRANT ACT.
KINGSTON SESSIONS.
The several cases of convittion under this Act byl
NIA Unica SWANEY, Esq. were appealed against before'
a Bench of Magistrates. The greatest interest was ex-{
cited. Neither Mr. SWASEY himself nor any of the wit-1
nesses whom he was called upon by law to bind over
to appear against the parties convicted was to be seen
in the Court or its vicinity.—The first case called was

TM! KING V. DOOR.
This was an appeal against the conviction of Maurice
Swabey, Esq. one of the Magistrates of Union Hall Of-
fice. The appellant is a respectable man, a resident of
Walworth, who, on the night of the 10th of August,
upon returning from the City, and walking along the
Borough-road, met one Mrs. Merrit, with whom and
with whose husband he was intimately acquainted. He
prevailed upon her to go-into a public-house in the Bo-
rough road and drink something; after Ythich theywalked
on together, the appellant being a little affected with the
I liquor he had taken in the course of the evening.—
Having some occasion to be private for a short time,
he desired his companion to walk on a little, and she had
I separated from him a few yards, when a watchman ap-
proached, seized them, swore they had indecently ex-
posed themselves, and dragged them off to the watch-
house. Next morning they were brought before Mau-
rice Swabey, Esq. who gave implicit credence to the
watchman, and committed the appellant and Mrs. Mer.-
:it to the House of Correction as rogues and vagabonds,
there to work _with all descriptions of malefactors at
the mill. The appellant, however, immediately entered
into recognizances to appeal against the conviction, and
accordingly appeared in Court with his Solicitor, Mr.
Lee, of Union-street, and supported in his appeal by
Mr. Thessiger, the barrister.
Mr. LEE proved that he had served notice of the ap-
peal upon Maurice Swabey, Esq.
The Baxcu having waited for some time, that the
witnesses for the conviction might make their appearance,
asked whether any one appeared to suppoi t theconviction?
Mr. THISSIGIR.—No : there is no penalty to be shared..—There is
nothing to be got by coming here."
The &soh What! are not the witnesses here?"—No answer.
Mr. Los.—l fear the Bench will have to decide without the
presence of the watchmen.
The BINCH (without an observation on the merits of the case.).—
" The conviction is quashed."
