YAWS proceedings as we had already received from

Laws, and President of the Council of Civil and
Criminal Justice of the Island of Curacoa and its De.'

of the said Council, which had gained great applause
on the Island. In speaking cif the Code of the fallen
NAPOLEON, he observed, that the said Code had
for its foundation, that all men•were villains, and that
as such the Legislature ought to watch over them."
Contrasting this code with the ancient law of the
Netherlands, he says you will there find it admitted
as a basis • that every person ought to be considered
as honest until the contrary is proved.' He congra-
tulates them that the ancient statute of the Nether-
lands and the local laWs of the country were those by
which they were to be governed. In characterising
the ancient mutt of Dutch Judicature, the President
emphatically observes, 44 We are judges with sober
salaries, or enjoying no salaries at alt ; yet, as we
Know and trust, above. all suspicion, free from cos.
misting), partiality, *trey, or hatred. And it it is
becoming to speak of myself to your honours, as your
president. I will say, that, entirely unknown, without
any relationship in this island, I have been sent hither
by the King to Nevem rather than to judge, to re.
move rather than to assist in pronouncing judgment,
and in passing sentences either in civil or criminal
cases, at all times to give an hearing to every person,
whether he be rich or poor, native or foreigner, white
or coloured, free or slave. In fine, this is a place
where the complaints of the indigent are heard, the
tears of the widows and orphans dried up, the in-
fluence of the grrat opposed, the licentiousness of the
populace checked, and the safety of the good citizens
supported and maintained."

This Was a new trial for an assessment of damages
sustained by the plaintiffs, by a diversioe of water
from the Gade and the Boulborne into the Canal, by
which their extensive paper mills, called Apsley
Mill and Nash situated below the junction of
these streams, werErenderesi less productive than they
would otherwise have been. The 'defendants had
suffered judgment to go by default, and the da•
inages had beeti assessed, at the last Milford As-
sizes, at a sum which the plaintiffs coriccivcd to be
inadequate. A new, trial was, in consequence,
moved for; and now came on to be heard. For the
plaintiffs it was contended, and several engineers and
outer witneeles were called to provc,that since the
Canal was made these mils bad been ileprived cif
from one.half to one third of their former supply 01
water. The quantity was taken by the plaintiffs at
one fourth, by which they proved that they could
have made as much more paper as would, at a clear
prutit of lid. per pound, have yielded them from May

is only about a halfpenny per pond. Several engi.;
neers and other witnesses were also examined on the
part of the defendants selpse opinion was, that as
much water goes to the mills in question now as be-
fore the Canal was *lade, After a trial, which

SWAPS PEON EXECUTION. .
Thmit and Jam Camas were tried for the wilful
murder of C. Csssidy, at Kilmainham Woed, in the
.county of Meath, on the II th of June, 1800.. A vet•
dict of guilty was found against Tho Mas Carson, the
other prisoner was acquitted. .
The Judge (Kamer) then pronounced sentence of
death on Thomas Carson, directing that the elem.
atm elsoulet take place on Friday morning, at one
o'clock.—At five o'clock on nide), morning a brie.
.ther ot the prisoner Caine to the prison to see the un-
happy culprit, and informed the polar that Mr.Weina
wright, the clergyman, would attend in a short time
to pray with, and administer the sacrament, to hie
brother. ..The Learned Judge had from humanity
directed that his relations should have access teethe
frisoner, so that his brother was permitted to go
into the condemned cell to him. In some time Weer
the gaoler came to acquaint his brother that the time
wasvery short, that his orders for the hour of execu-
tion were peremptory—and that, if the clergyman
was expected, they had better send for him, it being
neerly.six o'clock. The brother offered to go for
him, and accordingly d;d so. Shortly after Ur.
Wainwright came; and being shown into the vet,
continued a long time in prayer with the prisoner.
Eight o'cldck was approaching, when the gaoler
came in, accompanied by the prisoner's uncle. The
clergyman then told the prisoner that be had no time
to lose, that his uncle was come to see him; and
would • communicate with him in the admiuistre.
tione,f the sacrament. The prisoner entreated to be
allowed to pray a little longer, which was permitted,
and he seemed for some time gaiteebsorbed in devo-
tion ; atiength the gaoler becoming quite impatient,
he rose from the straw.on which be was kneeling. zed
welcoined his uncle. The latter started back, este-
nished, exclaiming, 44 Grel Ged! how grief has al. .
erred him.— this cannot be Ternmy I and, looking
nearer—" No," said lie, 64 this is Anthony Carson !"
The clergyman was arte.e.ei—the gaoler ran down
stairs, and disccvered that the person he had sent
for the clergyman was no othie than the convict him_
.self, who Lad not thought proper to return. Coming
back into his cell, the gaoler cried out in a rag«,
" your brother is gone off, what shell Ido ? I
ant
ruined 1" 44 Gone off!" cried Anthony, with great
surprise, "Oh ! he has taken away my big coat !"
It appeared upon further investigation, that An.
theney, who was in the same corps, and nearly of the •
sense site and appearance of the convict. had come
to the prison wrapped in a frize great coat, which he
gave to the convict, while the gaoler was unlocking
tee cell; wrapped in this coat, and attended by the
gaoler, Thomarpassed all the doors. of the erison;
and walked deliberately into she street, from thence,
in great apparent affliction, he looked up at 'the
preparation for esecutiun, and passed on as if to Mr....i.

Friday last, Is MTS. MARTHA CLARKSON, (wife of
Mr. RICHARD CLARKSON, of.Hinckley Green, near
Leigh) who has been for some time in a bad state of
health, was in the act of using a small smelling bot-
tle, it by some accident slipped into her mouth, and
stuck in her throat. Medical assistance was imme-
diattly procured, and. the bottle was with great diffi-
culty extracted, but she lingered only a tew hours,
and died in extreme agony.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral of Miss Bintaowas,
• of Red Lion-street, Clerkenwell, came to St. James's
Church, Clerkenwell.green. The grave was ordered
to be dug twenty feet deep. When the body came to
be lowered the undei taker found some fault with the
depth, and the gravedigger and his assistant went
down to throw up a few more shovels of the earth,
when unfortunately, owing to the great pressure of
the people, and the ground composed of loose earth,
the shores gave way, and the earth fell in and buried i
them under it. Several men were immediately set
about shovelling away the earth, which kept con-
stantly falling in, and in about an hour after one of
them, of the name of Butcher, was taken out, app.-
renily dead ; on being immediately carried home,
and the means prescribed for the restoration of per-
sons apparently suffocated bring applied, he was re-
stored to life, and at nine o'clock last night there
were great hopes entertained of his recovery. The
other man had not at that *hour been dug out. The
body of Miss Burrows was deposited in a !mitt
under the church.
About two o'clock on Thursday morning, as Wu.
. HAWKE% of Lower Rainham, Kent, was returning
to that place from Stroud, whither he had been in a
boat to convey, some persons on a party of pleasure.
to witness the opening of the oyster beds, he fell
overboard, and notwithstanding every exertion was
made, he was unfortunately drowned. His wife was
on board, and witnessed the Alicia" accident. The
deceased, who has left four children to lament his
lou, was brother to Mr. HAWKES, of the 'three Ma-
riners, Rainham.
An affray took, place on Thursday last, in Great
Boughton, near Chester, which terminated in the
death of a young woman of the name of Cook. The
father of the deceased, and a Mr. Bradshaw, residing
in Boughton, were drinking on the above evening at
the Wheat Sheaf public-house ; their wives and a
daughter of each met at the same. house, when some
ill language took place between the parties, which
. tended rather to irritate than allay the differences
subsisting: Blows followed -words ; and the dread-
. fill result was, that the young woman named Cook,
received a violent blow from her opponent, Bradshaw,
which occasioned delth. A Coroner's inquest was
held on the body on Saturday last. Verdict—Men-
;laughter wins: erat4Aavu an,/ Atria:hit.
At the Wool Fair, held at Lewes, on Friday last,
Lord Snza'inELD enteredinto some curious details re-
specting the growth and price of wool. He observed,
that the growth of fine wool Was abundantly in-
cteased, and in a progressive state of improvement,
until the late depression in price, occasioned by the
enormous importations of foreign wool; that the
quantity of wool grown exceeds the demand in the,
most flourishing state of the manufacture ; that it
frequently happened that three or four or more years'
growth were left in the hands of the grower, pre-
viously to these great importations ; that wool of the.
- finest quality can be growo in these kingdoms; that
the race of Spanish sheep is increased in an astonish-
ing degree in France, Germany, and Hungary
that immense quantities of foreign wool are now
stored in England, and that prodigious quantities are
at this time in France, Germany, and Spain, ready to
be consigned to this country as soon as there is a
.prospect of improved prices ; that the stock of short
fine wool is so great, that no price is offered ; that
the admission of an article from every part of the
world, comparatively untaxed and =idled, free of
ail duty, in competition with the produce of this coun-
try, cannot be supported on any principle of policy or
ipistice, aid is contrary to every principle which is so
necessarily established in respect to Avery other pro.
duce or manufacture of the country.

CONBPIitACISS.
Boy.sMillr.r.4lll'. NAME% the Magistrate, pro.
ceeded yesterday in, the. investigati.as of the conduct
of the patrols who are charged with improper con.
duct in procuring convictions, which occupied the
Magistrate's attention nearly the whole of the day.—
Bevan:in Abuse, (who wayrecrwnmended to he em-
ployed as a pairole by the /Recorder of London, that
Gentleman having been deceived by his supposed ac-
tivity rn detecting and prosecuting offenders) having i
lately been mentioned among others as being con-
cerned in planning robberies, and it being ascertained.)
that he went to Fairlop fair without orders, where he
apprehended a well-known thief, and -took two gui-
neas or a two pound note to liberate him, he Wl3 sus-
pended from his office of a horse patrole, and the
Magistrate thought .it light to order him into cus.
tody till the suspicious circumstances against him were
cleared up.—A few days since, information was re-
ceived from a respectable man of the name of Baxter,
and verified upon oath, charging Ben Johnson with
being concerned with his son in breaking open a
house, or assisting, and aiding and abetting his son
in the commission of the crime, by first associating
with his son as a thief, and going with him to break
open the house, and afterwards calling himself a con-
stable, and then taking him into custody. .For this
Baxter was tried, and capitally convicted, but was
respired on condition of his being transported, and he
has been sent to Botany Bay.—Yesterday Ben John-
son was placed ar the Bar, and all the persons Who
had the least knowledge of the transaction were sum-
moned before the Magistrate to give evidence respect-
ing it. From them it appeared that the brother of
Baxter who is transported, paid his addresses to the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Srsowshill, in Gray'sinn.
lane, patten makers, and from him it was learnt that
Mr. Snowshill had a considerable sum in cash and
other property in the house. Baxter, who is trans-
ported, being the associate of bad characters, soon
came into their practices, and on the gunday after-
noon previous to the Jubilee which took place in the
-Park to celebrate the peace, when at was known that
Mr. and Mrs. Snowshill and their family would go
out to view the preparations for the following day,'
the house of Mr. Snowshill was broken open by Bax-
ter, the prisoner, Ben Johnson, attending him.
Baxter went up stairs, where it was supposed, the
principal treasure was. After some time, Baxter re-
turned down stairs to Ben Johnson : he pretending
to be rummaging abobt below for property. Baxter
told him none of the keys which he had got would
open the bureau locks, and, therefore, he had not
stolen any thing. The prisoner, Johnson, then fur-
nished him with other keys, with which he went up
stairs again, and with the fresh supply of keys, fur-
nished by Johnson, he then opened the locks of the
bureau, and brought down guineas, half-guineas,
seven shilling pieces, and other coins, to the amount
of between ill7o and £BO, besides other property. 00
his communicating to the prisoner, Johnson, what he
had done, Johnson then threw off the mask, disowned
his being a thief, said he had been deceiving him, and
that in truth and in fact he was a constable, and he
was his prisoner ; and Bray, a man connected with
the City Police, was in waiting to aisist in securing
him. Baxter was taken by Johnson and Bray to the
watch-house, in Eagle-street; where, on account of
its being a very remarkable day, the watch house
keeper and his wife recollected what had passed.
When Baxter was brought to be lodged in the watch-
house, the prisoner, Johnston, confessed there, that he
knew the robbery was to be committed, and that he
had been laying in wait to apprehend Baxter.—Mrs.
Snowshill tecollected in a conversation she Fad with
the prisoner, Johnson, that he said, when she remon.,
strated with bins as to when Baxter came down stairs
without having stolen any thing, why he sent him up
stairs again with other keys ? Johnson replied, it
would not have answered his purpose if he had not
let him take property k and from this the conclusion
is, that he considered he should be entitled to a re-
ward on conviction for breaking open a house,in the
day time, and stealing to a certain amount, and a
Tyburn ticket.—Johnson denies the principal and
most material part of this statement against him. He
admits that he knew the robbery was going to be
committed, but that it was through the private infor-
ination of a thief, of the name of Goulding, who
acted as a non to him. He denies that he assisted
Batter in breaking open the house; and he also
denies that part of the conversation with Mrs.
Snowshill, as to his saying that it would not have
answered his purpose if he had not furnished Baxter
with other keys to open the bureau to get at the cash.
It was on this very trial of Baxter that the Recbrder
pronounced his approbation of the conduct of Ben
Johnson. _ _

George Brown, another discharged patrote, was
brought to the Office from Bridewell, to undergo
another examination, but there being no fresh accu-
sation against him, he and Johnson were both re-
manded.

MANSION-ROUSL—Tbe interest excited by this
atrocious combination, atpacted a great crowd yes-
terday, .when Brock, Pelham, and the- &Inv, were
ordered up for public examination, The Lord
MAYOR, however, from a consideration of circum-
stances, remanded the parties till Monday next, when
they are to undergo a final examination previous to
,• Committal.

GUILDHALL. Milan Ash/ia wai brought up,
charged with having obtained money under false pre.
tences.—The prisoner, it appeared, bad been in the
employment of Mr. ackler, a glass stainer in New.
• man-street, as porter, and having' left his service of
his own accord, bad called at the houses of several of
Mr. ambler's friends, in his name, to borrow small
sums. Among these the prisoner succeeded in ob-
taihing about 20 shillings from a. Miss Moore,' who
conducts the business of htn.Taylor a haberdasher
in Ludgate-street.—Mr. and Mrs. B;chter appeared
to disavow any consmicsion by which the Prisoner
could be authorised to receive the money. He was
fully committed for trial.
HiTros-Gaanas.—Yesterday, Mr. Philip aorekl,
i'suaster tailor, living in Cross-street, Wilderness-
row, Goswell-street, was examined for beating his
apprentice, James Anseomb, in so cruel a manner as
to endanger hist life. The complainant not being
'able to'aneod at the °lce, Mr. Ttutreo, the Sitting
Magistrate, went to his father's bout*, in Great

covered out of a fist ; he had examined him externally,
bin found no marks of violence ; he could not say
that the injury received from the prisoner was the
mite, it might be occasioned by his sleeping in damp
sheets.—The prisoner was ordered to find bail. '
.I.lntosi.Hau..—A French Gentleman appeared
and stated that he had been assaulted and robbed on
Friday evening last, near Vauxhall, under the fol-
lowing circumstances the evening in question
he had been at the Gardens, and quieted them about
twelve o'clock ; when at a little distance from the
gate, as be was crossing the road, be was surrounded
lby several men who pushed and hustled him, and on
Isis attempting to call watch one of them knocked
him down, and he became ifor some time insensible
of what followed. On recovering 11r found himself
at the watchhouse, and discovered that he had been
robbed of a valuable gold watch, a chain, and two
seals. A Watchman attended and stated, that the
Gentleman was brought to theWatchbonse in a state
of 'insensibility ; he was brought there in consequence
o( information given by the boy who saw him lying
in the road senseless; he continued insensible for
some time after lie was there. The boy in question
stated," that he saw a mob collected in the middle of
the road. and went up to see what was the occasion
of it ; on his approach they all ran off, and he saw a
Gentleman lying on the ground ; he endeavoured to
raise him op; but being unable to do so, he went to
the watchhouse for assistance. The Magistrate de-
sired the Officers to use every possible exertion to
discover the depredators. The Gentleman had RI 1
in Bank notes in his pocket, which fortunately escap-
ed the villains. A strong body of Officers attended
the Gardens last night, and apprehended upwards of
fifty sospicious characters, who were conveyed to
florsemongerane Gaol, previous to their examina-
tion at this Office.

QUEEK-SQVARL—Captain Jobe Dow Field, of a
regiment now lying in the East Indies, and Lieut.
• William Higgisuos, of the 57th regiment of foot,
were brought np by Pace, under warrant, at the
complaint of Mr. James Oliver, Surgeon at the York
Hospital at Chelsea, for challenging him to fight a
duel. Mr. Oliver said, that the transaction arose
out of a case which occurred at this office on Monday
last, wherein the servant of Lieutenant Higginson
charged Colonel Heely, of the 11th Dragoons, with
assaulting him. On that occasion he (Oliver) ac-
companied the Colonel to the office. On Tuesday
Mr. Higginson came to his house,No. 11, Belgrave-
terrace, Pimlico, and told him that his servant had
informed Mr. Dunn Field of his exposing him on the
preceding day at Queen.square Office, by stating to
the Magistrate, that he was a most dangerous cha-
racter, and that he was the same person who was at
that office a short period before, for throwing a bottle
and glass upon the head et a servant girl at Chelsea,
and though the statement might be true, yet he ( Mr.
Dunn Field) had sent him to demand satisfaction,
and he expected him to Panic time and place. Mr.
Oliver said, he informed Mr. Higginson that he
never spoke to the Magistrate, dlit it was nothing
more than truth had he said so, and he should con-1
suit with a friend before be sent any '
answer to his
message. The nest day he met Mr. Dunn Field at
the Orange Coffee-house, Chelsea ; he came up to
him in a most outrageous ntanner, and said he had
sent him a challenge by Mr. Higginson, and to use
his own words—" You are a d—d coward and
scoundrel .if you don't fight me, and I will tell you
so wherever I meet you ; ' and flourished his cane
over his head, threatening to chastise hilt.
Mr. Dunn Field said, the cause of his sending him
the challenge was in consequence of his having pre-
viously said that he would meet him at any place he
would appoint.
Mr. Oliver said, he never promised to meet him ;
he had advised with hisfriend, a Gentleman who
knew him well, and he informed him that ever since
the Captain had been drafted to the East Indies, he
had acted most ontrigeously, and in different hotels
his had challenged' a whole room full of Gentlemen
to fight, and that it was but a short time since he
WAS held to bail, for challenging an Officer at
Chelsea.

Mr. FIELDING spoke to the prisoners of the enor.
mity of their offence, and that they must be aware
of the exceeding impropriety of their conduct ; that
be must be under the necessity of holding them in
responsible sureties to answer Mr. Oliver's charge at
the ensuing Sessions, if he persisted in pressing the
case ; but be would be their advocate with him, and
see if an gpology would be suffiaient.
They said they would make any apology Mr.
Oliver desired.

- Mr. Oliver said, that he was determined to prose,
cute the case, not entirely upon account of the injury
he bad sustained by them, but !or others, and the
public good.
Mr. FIIILDING said, ha was sorry that young men
should so commit themselves ; that he must do a.
painful duty, which was, to send them to prison till
they produced bail—two persons in bonds of £4O
each, and themselves in £BO each.

This is the age of real and useful discovery.—ln no
branch is it more displayed than in the treAtment cf
' that destructive. disebse which is the bane of youth
and sensual enjoyment. To such success is the prac-
tice (in the worst forms of it,) now brought at that
respectable institution, the Lock and Surgical Ds.
penury. under the direction of Mr. KIERNAN, of the
Royal College of Surgeons, London, Lower Char-
lotte-street, Bedford-square, that upwards of one hun—
dred cases of Stricture, besides Debility and other
Affections of the Generative Organs were radically
cured by the last report of the Institution. An impor.
:ant mechanicalimprovement has been made by the
I experienced Surgeon of the Institution, which renders
the cure of obstinate Stricture particularly successful
and speedy.
Mr. Hurcr, who,,when .Clerk of the Ordnance, to
freely handled the public money, and ultimately
evaded justice by running away, died, it is said, not
long since in France, in circumstances very different
from his former flourishing condition.
