LETTER 111.

FROM LORD SIDMOUTIL TO MR. ALDERMAN WOMD.
Whiteha I, May 3, 1820.
SIR—I have received your letter of this date, in which you
request me to prevent George Edwards from leaving this ectiki-
try ; and in reply, I have to acquaint you, that I know of no
ground which would justify me in issuing a warrant against
Edwards, that being the only mode by which I could c.imply
with your request.---I have the honour to be. Sir, your most
obedient humble servant, 51D31012/111.

LETTER IV.
TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT SIDNIOUTH.

7.1 v Loan—l am honoured with your Lordship's answer to
my letter of yesterday, respecting George rstlwards, wherein you
stile, that you " know of no ground which would justify you in
issuing a warrant against him.- I consider that those depositioni
which I lath at ycur Lordship's Office contain such charges as
would fully justify your Lordship in apprehending G. Edwards.
—Perhaps your Lordship's objections are, that they are net
sworn : if so, I beg to inform you, that the parties were in at-
tendance at your Lordship's Office, to give evidence, and were
ready to be sworn to their statements, and are now ready, at en
hour's notice, to attend your Lordship. I have also their evi-
dence to produce.—l remain your Lordship's most obedient
humble servant, N. WOOD.

LETTER V.

FROM LORD SIDMOUTH TO MR. ALDERMAN WOOD.
Whitehall, May 4, 1820.
SIR—I have to acknowledge the receipt of yriur letter of this
day's date, in which I see no ground for altering the opinion com-
municated to you in my former letters. I have the honour to be,
Sir, your most obedient humble servant, SIDNIOUTH.
Mr. Aldsrman Wood, 77. South Audley-street.

Some persons, ill-informed on such points, have
expressed wonder that the Qizakers should have ad-
dressed his MAJESTY on his Accession. That re-
spectable sect has always paid this 'respect to their
Sovereign. A very early and remarkable instance
of it is the laconic, but pithy Address which They pre-
sented to JAMES 11. and which is a model of delicate
irony, and respectful reproach. "We come," said
they, " to condole on the death of our friend
CHARLES ; and we are glad that thou art come tot e
our Ruler. We hear that thou art a Dissenter from
the Church of England ; and so are we. We beg
that thou wouldst grant us the same liberty which
thou takest thyself; and so we bid thee farewell Y'
Letters from Petersburgh, of the 28th of April,
state, that the Government has issued a new Ukase,
extremely beneficial to the temporary interests of the
calico-printers of Russia, but calculated materially to
injure the interests of the foreign merchants trading
with that country. All printed goods, when printed
and brought to market by a Russian printer, will be
entitled to a drawback of 37} copecs silver the pound,
which is the amount of duty on the white goods when
imported. These 37i copecs, in addition to the duty
of one rouble forty copecs, laid on foreign prints,
give to the Russian printer an advantage of one rouble
71 copecs silver, or ss. 4d. the pound, Russian
weight (about 14. oz.), over those printed goods im-
ported from abroad. This Ukase expressly adds,
however, that the said drawback will he granted to
those printers only who have actually ordered the
white goods from abroad, and entered them in their
own names at the Custom-house : the drawback can-
not be claimed when the goods in the unprinted state
have been- purchased of merchants in the market,
who must, consequently, be driven out of commercial
transactions, of which they have hitherto formed the
1 chief medium.

• SPARRING.
The Fives Court was yesterday extremely crowded, to witness
an Exhibition for the Benefit of Ned Turncr. After Lennox
had commenced the play with Masan, the following were the
sets-to :—Martin and Scimpuie turned-to spiritedly, and although
the formet had best from practice, Brwrimigent was not to be
shook off easily; be returned some good hits with judgment,
and he Mewed that he had trained on. Harry Holt and Poriels
seemed at first to 'be for shewing elegance of attitude, and to
adopt the tapping system ; after a bit, howeeer, Holt turned to,
and Parish, necessarily obliged to bear up against it, got the
worst of it. There were some manly rallii s, but Parish was
too slow for Holt's action. Spring and Crib next set-to, hut they
were too friendly to afford amusement. ,Larkin and a Birming-
ham man : the latter was desirous of a taste of Lordon fighting,
and he got it. He was altogether awkward, and could not reach
Larkin, who kept giving him smeller, on the head, until he wag
tired and wild. He was twice floored withal, and Larkin, ty
gestures, wished to strip off the gloves, but the countryman
would not until he had more. The G,uppey, who heat Wass
Country Dick on the 16th, got the best of the elder .eflitiot, and
'hewed some good milling qualities. F,,a:es and Harmer made
a scientific set-to. .Randal and Tu.-no. closed the sports is s
most scientific and manly set-to, in which, with the exceptiouef
Pales, all the sparrers could have !earned something. It drew
down great applause, znd it *as a good day'‘ play.
Cottn-Exemasiair, Maat-talat, )TAY g4.—Our market was
abundantly supplied.. with all (;rain this morning, for which
the demand was very limited, yet a few samples nt prime white
obtained Monday's prices, but all other descriptions could have
been bought on lower terms. Barley is nearly unsaleable, and
full Is. per quarter lower than on Monday, and only a few fresh
samples were sold at that reduction. The arrivals of oats have
.been considerable since :llomlay, and they arc is. lower, but few
aalesi were affected. In other articles no alteration.
