GUILDTTALL.—The Janice-room was on Saturday
surrounded by an immense crowd, in expectation of
witnessing the re-examination of H. &eat, the unfor-
mate man whose unhappy situation has excited such
general commiseration. Mrs. Stein, the wife, it was
understood, would be well enough to attend and
give her deposition, which is all that is now warning
to render the chain of evidence against the prisoner
complete. Abaft 11 o'clock a messenger dispatched
to the Hos;ital returned with the following certificate
" Ills is to certify, that Mrs. Stent is a groat &al better, but
not sidnciently recovered to be able to appear at Guildhall to
_undergo any examination wLich may be thought proper.
" 11. litswau., House Surgeon.

" St. Bonk°!mew's Hospital, Augan 14,"
• In cinsequence of this certificate the attendance of
,the prisoner was rendered unnecessary, and orders
were sent off to the Compter to prevent his being
brought up. The postponement of the examination'
was communicated to the different officers, for the
purpose of making it known ; but as they had,
through mistake, communicated similar intelligence
to the c: owd un Wednesday, which afterwards proved
to be incorrect, at Stent was examined on that day,
their information was thought to be a trick to dis-
perse the filet) ; consequently it was disbelieved, and
the Office remained thronged, both within and with-
out, t:11 Alderman ltoTrissett. took his seat, and as-
sured the persons assembled that neither Mrs. Stent
nor her husband would attend that day. Mrs. Stent
is nearly recovered of her wounds, and, in point of
general health, able to have attended on Saturday,
%; Lich she was desirous of doing, under the impres-
:ion that her appearance, in a recovered state, would
procure the liberation of her husband ; but the sur-
geon thought it improper to risk any accession of fe-
ver, which might probably accrue through the agi-
tation likely to occur in her present weak state.

111.301tOUGU-STREET.—Saturday a preacher, of
the name of WeddcrLurn, who has the care of a small
Chapel, known by the name of Hopkins' Chapel, in
llopkins-street, was brought to this Office by an offi-
cer, and underwent a private examination, which
last:.d nearly two hours, on a charge of blasphemy
and sedition. The Solicitor to the Secretary of State
for the Home department was present, and a large
box filled with papers of a blasphemous tendency,
'were produced and carefully investigated. It ap-
peared that the prisoner has latterly been holding
dissertations at his Chapel, in which he has evinced
the greatest contempt both for religion and the law,
and has endeavoured to instil into the miads of his
iseawrs, that the Prince Regent, and all Potentates,
shonld be destroyed, for not administering justice as
they ought to do. The prisoner was ordered to find
bail, bienself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each,
to appear at the next General Quarter Sessions for
Middlesex. He seemed quite indifferent to his con-
dition, and in default of bail was committed.

Orders have been received at Sheerness for the em-
barkation cf Rennet, the stealer of Mr. Ifoesin.E‘'s
child, on board the Dromedary store ship, about to
sail for New South Wales.

The following kind epistle was handed to the LORD
MAYOR on Saturday. It runs in the same strain with
many his L9rdslaip has received lately :
