To the astonishment of every person, this Noble•
man made his appearance in the House of Commons
today about two o'clock, and took his seat with
great deliberation on the Treasury Bench. As
soon as his Lordship's person was known, in-
formation was sent to Mr. Awes, the Marshal of the
King's Bench, who immediately attended, and with
the assistance of several Peace Officers and Conga.
hies, succeeded in carrying off his Lordship to prison
by main force. On searching him a few pistol balls
were found on him, but no pistol or powder..
He had also a bag of snuff on his person, which he
meant, he said, to throw in the eyes of any person
who should seize him. In his coat pocket tilde woe
a bundle of papers, on which he said he intended to
address the House. His Lordship made a smut re-
s;stance, and was literally cnnverd on mens' shoul-
ders out of the House of Commons.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.

Yesterday a Special Court of Common Council
assembled at Guildhall, to take into consideration
the necessity of presenting a Petition to his Royal
Highness the .Prince Regent against the meditated
alteration in the Corn Laws.
Mr. WAITUNIAN, in a speech of considerable length,
took a review of the extraordinary manner in which
the Corn Bill bad been hurried through both Houses
of Parliament, and combated the motives and kirgii-
silents which had been tweed in its favour. He con-
cluded by moving a Petition to his Royal Highness
the Prince Regent, prayine, " That his Royal High-
ness would be gracionsly pleased, on the part of his
Majesty, to withhold his Royal Assent from the
Coin Bill, and to dissolve the present Parliament, for
having refused to listen to the voice and petitions of
the people."
Mr. Alderman Woon seconded the motion, which
was opposed by Mr. Alderman Atkins, Mr. Jacks,
and Mr. Dixon, and supported by Mr. Bumstead,
Mr. Dornford, Mr. Favell, and Alderman Goodbe.
here. Some objections having been made to certain
words in the Resolution, •it was agreed, that such as
might appeal harsh and obnoxious should be omitted.
in the Petition. The motion was agreed to by an
immense majority.— See ifelvertisement.

Yesterday, the Jury appointel to inquire into the
death of Jane Watson, who was lately shot in Bur-
lington-street, resumed the examination of witnesses.
The first witness was George Ulph, one of the sol-
diers who was stationed in the house. His evidence
was similar to that given at the Inquisition on E.
Wee, In one point, however, it varied considerably
from that given by the Butler, who, on Saturday,
stated—" that he fired a pistol down the area." Wit-
ness was stationed aethe bottom of the stairs until
near ten o'clock, and although he repeatedly heard
stones thrown, be did not hear any person fire down
the area, nor did lie believe such tiring coultil have
taken place without his hearing it. Upon looking at
the shutters after the firing, he did not perceive that
they were so much broken as he should have expec-
ted train the number of stones thrown at them.
At this period of the examination a letter was re-
ceived from Mr. Robinson, expressing a wish to be
admitted as a witness ; and he was accordingly ad-
mitted ; but as 11;s evi,ience merely amounted to
hearsay, it was deemed inadmissible by the Jury; add
he e iththew.
W. Graves and F. Uek, soldiers, deposed, that
they received 21 roue is of ball cartridges, which
they returned in the arniourer, except one, which the
tor mer had in his pocket. He also stated, that he
did not hear aey pistol fired into the area.
J. Pawley, another soldier, corroborated h!s former
evidence, but prevat icated under evident agitation.
W. Clements said, that after the report of guns,
he was called up stairs, and saw Burton the Corporal,
Herbert and Mathews, the two soldiers, and, as he be-
lieved, Ripley, the butler ; who stationed witness'
and his comrade at the street door, and the person
who was in the parlour. Upon several stones being
thrown, witness fired thump the f..n light with blank
cartridge, and at the time he heard three or four re-
ports at once from the parlour above ; and heard
66 Murder !" called immediately after the guns were
fired.
T. White walked through the street out of curio-
shy, to see the havoc done at Mr. Robinson's house.
Thete were twelve or fourteen persons near to the'
house ; they were not on the pavement ; some of
them were conversing with a soldier and another per.
son from the parlour window. One of them said,
66 You had better charge with eighty shillings." The
soldier replied, 66 You had bettcr mind what you are
*boot, or you will find to the contrary," or words
to that effect. Upon hearing this, witness imme-
diately crossed the way in an oblique direction, and,
before he had got three parts across the street, he
heard something like a small stone, or a bit of brick,
thrown against the house, and instantly the report
of three pieces, and the deceased fell near to the wit-
ness ; he supported her between his knees, and the
woman with whom she was, knocked at a door, anti
cried 44 murder," in a vehement manner. Witness
did not see the slightest disposition amongst the
people to riot. Witness considered that the deceased
was nearly 30 yards from Mr. Robinsson's house.
The Jury adjourned at half past five, and re-assem-
bled again at eight ; .when several other witnesses
were examined, and at twelve the Jury retired, and,
after deliberating about half an hour, retuned a ver-
dict of " Il i ful Mulder against James Ripley. (Mr
Robinson's butler) Richard Mathcws, Robert Herbert,
and Richard Burton, (soldiers,) by firing ball, or shot,
from the windows of Mr- Robinson's house in OW
Burlington-street."

A aecesrr AN n siNcutan PAC-C.—Some few weeks
since, a farmer of this county dreamed twice succes-
sively, in the same night, that his oxen were driven
•way from a particular field, and were stolen. When
he awoke from the second time of thus dreaming, be
resolved to visit the place immediately. He meant to
have taken with hint the head carter ; but on calling,
found the carter was not in his house. He then called
for another servant and a boy. With them he went
to th• field ; they found the oxen safe ; but on their
return homewards they observed a lantern, with a
burning candle, hanging on a tree; near it they dis-
covered a grave : and by the side of it lay digging
tools, which the farmer knew to be his own, and must
leave been taken from his own premises. Soon after
they met a young iveman going towards the spot
where the grave was made. They insisted on know-
ing whither she was going, and what coutd have led
her thither at an hour so very unseasonable. After
• some hesitation, she confessed she was going to meet
her sweetheart, who said he had something particu-
lar to tell her. That sweetheart was the farrner's
head carter. The farmer described to her what h
had seen, and conducted her home. The young w, -
man was so terrified at what she had heard, that sla
died within the course of two days. She had uti•
happily allowed the carter to take too great liberties •
and it is supposed he meant to have murdered ant.
buried her, to prevent discovery of her pregnancy

AN EX CRAI,AINNARY LONG Fox CHACE WITH TILE
PEMBROKE FOX-HOUNDS.—They found at Court Koa-
las, went through Landshipping, leaving Cresselly
two miles to the right, a mile past Jeffreston, and
two back ; across Martletwy, Herbeston, Lande-
guinney, Begelly, Turnaside, Saundersloot ; back
across Begelly, and the same ground under Jeffres-
ton, to earth, a distance not less than fifty miles.—
Tbe greatest part of the sportswn's horses were left
in diffetent parts of the country; not being able to
continue the hard day's chace, alter which they par-
took of a sumptuous dinner at Orielton, the residence
of Sir JOHN ChTE.V. Bart. and spent the even:og
mirth and harmony.

LONG AND SHORT TAD.3.—A person asked a far-
mer what he must give him to take his horses to grass ?
66 Why," said the farmer, 66 for long-tailed horses 4
shillings, and for bobtails six, per week. The person
wondered at the difference of the charge. which the
fat mer at his desire explained. The reason is this:
In the hot weather the long-tails are so busy in
switching the flies, that they have not time to eat so
much as the others; but the bob-tails have nothing
else to do I
