• The PrenCh Papers contain some extracts from the
Address resented by the Diet of Hungary to the Em-
peror NANO'S Oa bis birth-day, and the answer of his'
hIPARIAL MAJPATI., in both of which the external
ebullitions of that spirit of Mutual dissatisfaction which
burns inwardly may be traced.

A Supplement to Saturday's London Gazette was
published yesterday, at so late an hour that we could
only notice it in a part of our impression. It consists of
•arious dispatChes from India, none of which are of
recent date. They relate to gallant and successful
operations against the Burmese, between the beginning
of May and the middle ofJnne:

' The first is a letter, dated May 9,1825, from Lieut.
NEUIVILLE, commanding at Now Dheeing Mokh, in
Assam, announcing some successes over the Burmese
Chiefs in t' at ditec.ion. Three of their Chiefs had
t►•ritten to L;eut. N. in their usual style of vet biage,
desiring him to evacuate the country, to which he re-
plied a• follows:

"To THE CHIEFS LA DAUNGII, MINOAN PAH, AND DOILOANG PAH.
(After compliments)—" I have recPived your communication.—
If, my friends, you wish us to quit the country of Assam, you had
better come and turn us out."

The second is dated the ICth of May, 1825, from
Lieutenant DEVER, commanding at Mergui. It relate,
a check which Lieutenant Daveft gave to the Siamese
pirates. The third is dated 15th June, 1825, from
L entenant NEtrvviLLe, relating his „progress up the
Dheeing River to Wokystet. An official account of
the armistice between Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL and
the Burmese is added, but nothing is communicated
upon the subject which was not known before.

Letters from Port an Prince, dated linuary 14, say,
" A great sensation bas been produced by the accounts
of English Consuls being appointed. The inhabitants
appear not in general to be favourable to commercial
intercourse with France." •
SILX Taans.—That the silk •rcialinf:cturers and
weavers are slow severely suffering there can be no
doubt, and that part of the distress has been occasi ,ned
by the anticipated competition of foreign silks, cannot
be denied ; yet the principal cans: of the evil is to be
found in the system or over-tiading, which occasioned
the late convulsion in the commercial world. The cot-
ton manufactures are at present experiencing as great,
if not a greater, degree of stagnation than those of silk,
though the cotton trade has been, 'till later, rapidly
increasing in prosperity, and the check it has received
cannot in any manner be attributed to legislative inter-
ference. The alarms of the silk manufacturers, and not
the measures of Government,. are the causes of that
extra portion of distress which affects their trade. The
duty on the imported raw' material has been reduced to
comparative nothingness, and a protecting duty of SO
per cent. is to be laid upon every manufactured article
of France ; yet the silk manufacturers exclaim their
trade will be destroyed if they have not further pro-
tection. The difference in the price of labour between
the two cootries has been estimated to make a differ-
ence in the manufacture of silk ankles of frotri 14 to
20 per cent in favour 'of France;— ur Government -
tave laid upon those articles a duty of SO pet cent. and
the English manufacturers dread the competition! A
duty, sech as they require, would entirely do away with
the principle of the measure, and amount to tprohibition.
—lf it were much higher than SO per cent. the induce-
ment for smuggling would still exist, and a very essential benefit
to be derived from the present regulations—the abolition of that '
Iperniciou- trallic—would thus be aunulled.—BiritantiOutro rarer.

AYLESBURY, MA RCN 4.
Berjamin Hollis. aged 24, was indicted for burglary.
The prisoner was the son of Samuel Hollis, in whose
house the burglary was committed. and brother to Wm.
Hollis, the prosecutor. The family carry on the bu-
siness of tliteavers.
Mr. DOVER stated the case for the prosecution, and
said he should be under the painful necessity of calling
the prosecut,r in a case affecting his brother's life.
William Hollis deposed that he lived at Amersham,
in the house of his fater. Ile went to bed on the night
of the Eth of Deciinher last, leaving the doors and
windoes all fast. He slept in the front room up stairs;
all his clothes were in the room. When he awoke in the
morning, all hi, clothes were gone, and he had nothing
to put on. The window had been taken off its hinges
and put on again ; the nail with which it had been I
fastened Wci.S gone. Among the articles taken out of
his room were a handkerchief with a pad in it, and a
counterpane. His room door was locked on the inside
as tom he went to bed, but when he got up it was open.
John Georie kept the sign of the Sun, at Uxbridge.
Prisoner came to his house in the morning of the 6th
of December ; he had a large bundle with him, tied up
in a woman's whittle, which he untied, and offered
witness a leg of pork out of it. It was not then light.
Thomas Salter, a constable, went to Braintree, on the
19th of December, and there apprehended the prisoner
—searched him, end found a pad on his neck.
Henry James, of Braintree ; on the 13th of December,
bought of the prisoner for 7s. some pawnbroker's tickets
for a great coat. a pair of trousers, four waistcoats,
and' a hat.
Charles James Scott, pawnbroker, deposed, that the prisoner at
the bar pledged the articles.
Hollis identified them.
Prisoner said he was driven to the offence by distress and want
of clothes.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Guilty. .
The prosecutor begged that the prisoner's life might be spared.
Mr. Justice HOLROTD said, it was a most extraordi-
nary and lamentable charge, that a man should delibe-
rately proceed to rob his own father and brother. The
prisoner's life would he spared, and he should see what
could be done with him hereafter.
Judgment of death recorded.
William Ilatinson, a labouring man, aged 54, was
indicted for stealing a sheep of the value of sBs.
Mr. DOVER, for the prosecution, called Wm. Franklin,
a remit kably likely and acute little boy, twelve years
old, who, being asked by Mr. Justke HOLROYD if be
could say his prayers, said No, he could not.
Do you know the Loses's Prayer'—Some of it, not all.
Dlr. Justice Hoxstorn—Learn the rest of it, my boy, as aeon as
you can. Do you know what you will be dune to if you take a
false oath? Yes, Goo will punish me.
His examination was then permitted.
He said he looked atter twenty-eight sheep belonging
to the prosecutors, Henry Smith and Richard Honour,
and counted them on Sunday night, the 26th of Feb.
At halt past six o'clock the next morning he went into
the field where he left them, and could not make them
right ; there were only twenty-seven ; so he called a
man to•count them for him, and went and looked about
the field for the lost sheep. He found the skin of the
sheep among the turnips, with theeatrails under k.
Henry Smith, the prosecutor, deposed to his tracing
tbefootsteps of two men to the lane that led to Leigh=
ton, where the prisoner lived. He searched the priso-
ner's house the same afternoon, and found a fore and a
. hind quarter of mutton up stairs there, lying on an old
bedstead. Witness compared the meat with the ski%
and it fitted itexactly—theparts temaining on the skit
corresponded with those cut away from the meat.
Prisoner being asked what he had to say in his do.,
fence, said he never killed nor stole a sheep in his lifei
a man left the meat at his house, and was to have called
for it next morning. He would rather die beforehe left
this place than live, if they would but send a Gentle-
man to pray with him, for he kpew that he was ruined,
now that his character was taken away.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. Judgment of death recorded.
NEWCASTLE, MARCH 4.
Lionel Walby, a very respectable looking man, was
put to the bar, charged on five several counts, with ut-
tering two promissory notes of the value of 1581. 9s.
knowing the same to be forged, with an intent to defraud
Michael Ainsley and others.
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. Cass-swam., on the part of the Crown, stated,
that the prisoner at the bar stood indicted for a
capital felony, in the uttering of two promissory
notes, bearing date the 241 and 18th days- of May,
1824, which notes were drawn, payable to the
order of Michael Ainsley. It further appeared, that the
prosecutor being about to quit his farm-in May, 1821,,
had occasion to sell his stock by auction, at which sale the
prisoner attended, and bid for several lots, when it was
agreed the prisoner should give security, and named his
brother John Walby, James Scott, and Edward Tate. On
the 13th or 14th of May, the prisoner brought the bills,
and delivered them to a Mr. R. Spearman, which bills
purported to be signed by. the above parties, payable to
the. prosecutor's order, but no such person as Tate was,
to be found, and it was for the Jury to say, after they
had heard the evidence for the prosecutor, whether the
prisoner, at the time he uttered thew hills, knew them
to be forged?
ARCHIIOLD took an objection as to Scott being a
competent witness, an'action having been brought on
the bills- The record was not produced, and ti.e ob-
jection was over-ruled by his Lordship.
Mr. Coliseum. called witnesses in support of his case.
Mr. Spearman examined—Witness is clerk to Mr. Percival
Fenwick of Bury ; he produces the deed of release.
Dlr. A eensol-o—lt has no seal, and is consequently r.o deed in
ism
Mr. Justice Psrrirc—The objection is fatal. Gentlemen of the
Jury you must acquit the ptiso::er. In case of life and death, justice
me* be administered to the strict letter of the law.

' WITS= PARWLARS.,
A -dreadful cossfisigratiooqeok place yesterday sehs.
night, at Kempton, near Bedford, which completely
reduced to ashes a great part of that populous and
extensive village. The devouring elemenfcomrtienced
its distressing havoc about one o'clock, upon the farm-
yard and premises in the occupation of Mr. Saunders,
farmer, of that place, in consequence of a. man in his
employ imprudently and carelessly discharging ,a gun
at some pigeons a hich had settled on one of the boos.'
and the contents of the gun lodging in the thatch. The
wind blowing very strong at the time, and which it
continued to do the whole of the day, immediately set-
fire to the barn, and thence it communicated to the
yard. and consumed all the other buildings adjoining t.
the whole of the dead farming stock, consisting of four
carts, and numerous other implements; the whole
of the hay and corn, comprising two wheat-hovels,
a bean rick, a !Urge rick of hay, and a rick of straw.
The fire flying in large flakes from these premises, set
fire to, and burnt to the ground, two cottages, a
&Welling-house and a bake-house, the property of Mr.
White, of Cardington Mills; four cottages belnirging
to Mr. Dudley ; and thence to Mrs. Douglass's farm-
yard, where the house and all the buildings, with- the
greatest part of the houtehold furniture, were totally
destroyed. The fire next reached the bake-house,
dwelling-honse, and several other outbuildings in the,
occupation of Mr. Dudley, baker ; thence to a cottage
standing near; and then to a rarm-yard occupied by
Mr. Allen, the whole of which, in a very short time,
were consumed to ashes. Several other small cottages,
occupied by labourers And other poor families, were
also destroyed by the fl smes in the come of the afternoon
.11nd evening, leaving many of their former inhabitants
destitute of house and home; for whom, and the
sufferers at large, a subscription is about to be entered
into. To describe the distress and confusion this awful
event caused at the moment, or at present to attaisi any
estimate of the damages or number of buildings con-
sumed, is impossible. Indefatigable assistance was
afforded by the engines, gentry, And inhabitants of
Bedford and the surrounding villages, to check the
progress of the devouring element, which was not ac-
complished until the evening, and, indeed, the whole of
the fire was not extinguished until late the following day.

The extensive cotton mills of Mr. Grimshaw, at
Whitehouse,' near Belfast, were burned down on Wed-
nesday morning. The loss is estimated at 14,0001. of
which 10,0001. is insured.

The Deputies from Glasgow have completed their
arrangements as to theproportion of the three millions of
money (to be lent on persbnal security) which has been
assigned for relief to that great commercial city ; they',
state the whole is arranged perfectly to their satisfaction,
arid that it will be productive of much good.
We yesterday gave a statement of the number of
bankers who had been' made bankrupts lrom 1816 to
1826,4tid it appeared that there had been 158 bankers
bankruits;_bot that the number of partners amounted
,to only 380. Therefore, on the average, there had been
only two partners in each case of bankruptcy.
The Deploy-Lieutenants of Lancashire have voted

not to contribute more than 201. •
The plate and furniture of Mr. RAYNE, are selling -by,

A Gentleman lost his snuff-box at Mr. HAYNIei sale,

Sunday, curiosity led four persons down one of the
coal-pits, near Hanley, and being unacquainted with
the situation of the surrounding mines, they entered
one which had been unworked for some time, and on
bringing the light which they carried in contact with
the fire damp, an explosion took place, and they were
co severely burnt, that one of the party is since dead.
Wild ducks were seen yesterday above London Bridge.
Sumburgh Head Lighthouse, although 500 feet,
above the sea, had the sprays dashing upon the win-
dows during the gales in the early part ofJanuarf; and,
on the 4th of that month, the lightkeepers found 29-
100th parts of salt water in their rain-gm:le.
An elopement took place about four o'clock in the
morning of Wednesday from the neighbourhood of
Wingham, Kent. The parties were a respectable young
female and a soldier belonging to the Ist for King's)
Dragoons. It would seem that every preparation, as
tar as circumstances would allow, had been tnade in a
parish not far distant from Canterbury, in order that the
completion of the marriage ceremony might be effected
with safety. By some means " Old Dad" missed his
daughter shortly after she had taken her departure,
owing to the creaking of her shoes in going down
stairs; and, suspecting her intention, he instantly
trudged on towards the London road ; and at the Coach
and Horses, at Harbledown, succeeded in recovering
his child, a fee/ mis• Ates before she was about taking

her departure on the summit of ,a stage coach. Hit..
surprise at beholding tier aged father was so grey, that
her feelings were overpowered, and she fainted when
he talked about her returning with him ; but her gal-
lant, not to be ii.timidated, ran to a hedge close by,
and, drawing a huge slake, swore he would fell him to
the ground, if he persisted in taking her away. The
old man was inexerahle, the lady revived, and giving
her consent to be conducted once more to the abode of
her parents, rather than render them unhappy, left the
poor dragoon either to a right about face," or ruminate
upon his unlucky stars.

VACOSTE AND BROWN'S 8.-71.10MPSVIAT 'YOUNG"'
• Mr. CAMPBELL opened the proceedings in this case,
and the Avroarazy-Gerartt,sx stated that the plaintiffs
were stock-brokers, and the defendant a silk-min, in!
partnership with his father, and carrying on business at
No. 96, -Watling-stteet, under the firm of -William
Thompson and SIR; that the defendant inahe month of
January, 1825, employed the plaintiffs to purchase for
him twenty Brazilian Mine shares, and ten Buenos
Ayres Mine shares; that the plaintiffs made the -pur-
chases, and had themselves, at the request of the defen-
dant, advanced money thereon, to the amount of
1,880/. which they sought to recover of the defendant.
The first witness called wai Joseph Patten, who
proved that the plaintiffs had handed over to the de-
fendant the contracts of the purchase; and the tender of
ten of the Braziliau shares; that the defendant took
away the contracts without ohjecting_to them.
: Mr. Lewis, Secretary of the Brazilian Mining Asso-
elation, produced the shares sold to the defendant, and
was examined by Mr. &Auxin., on behalf of the de-
fendant, as to the nature of the documents, or what he
called the shares. He detailed in his evidence the for-,
mation of the company, and that although there was
no deed in existence relating to them, the documents
produced were the shares passing cutrent under the,
sanction of the directors.
Mr. SCABLETV took an objection to these documents
-being received in evidence, as a banker's accountable
receipt attached thereto for the deposit paid not being
stamped, therefore such a document could not be
transferred. • •
The Lose Cam Sinner toot a note of the objection.
Mr. Horatio Montefiore was called to prove that he I
had sold ten shares to the plaintiffs, on the 10th January,
1825, but his memory was very imperfect upon it. 1
Mr. Robert Johnson proved that he sold ten Buenos
Ayres Mine shares to the plaintiffs, on t:)e 11th of
January, 1825, at 68 premium per share, and for which
the plaintiffs paid him MI.
Mr. Wm. Richards, brother-in law of the defendant,
was called, and proved the introductiori of the defen-
dant to the plaintiffs, and that he (the defendant) had en-
gaged the plaintiffs to make purcdases in shares to the
extent of between 2,0001. and 3,U001. Witness also
proved the payment of 4001. but stated that the de-
fendant had informed him it was paid to the plaintiffs
as a satisfaction for their claim upon the defendant. He
denied that anything whatever had been subsequently
said as to the manner in which the money the plaintiffs
had advanced should be paid by-the defendant.

The plaintiffs, &lois customary, paid the purchase-money for the
shares, and offered to produce evidence of the custom.
The Loss Cater JuniOs said, that no custom could justify a
broker's paying money for his principal without his authority. The
truth was, that these things were done upon honourr—The
tiffs wdre accordingly nonsuited.

RIOTS AT MACCLESFIELD.

MACCLESFIELD, SUNDAY MORNING...4IM WAS a
disposition manifested on -Friday evening to renew the
riot at a remote part of the town called the Common. A
number of fellows assembled, and threw large brick.
bats and stones into several houses, to the great alarni
of the inmates. The landlord of a public-house applied
yesterday to the Magistrates, to be sworn in as a special
constable, and was assured also. that every precaution
*mild be taken to prevent a recurrence of the outrage.
Thomas Brunts, who was prsved to have been •ery
active on Monday at Johnson's (the baker), throwing
out the loaves, &c. was examined on Saturday, at
Guildhall, and fully committed to Chester.—l cannvt
describe the sensation produced when the failure of the
Congleton Bank was known:

' SUNDAY NIGHT.—The principal alleged ringleader,
or rather one of the principal operative in the crowd,
on Monday night, is taken. His name is Thomas Brunt.
He was apprehended in bed, at midnight, and brought
up yesterday to be examined. The case, as in the
charges against u'Brian and Wilkinson, was a very
clear one, aparte, and he was fully committed to Ches-
ter Castle, to take his trial for the felony.
The town, during the latter part of the week, has
been very quiet, thanks to the presence of the military ;
but I am sorry the week terminated•by no means in an
auspicious way for the eventualpesice and well-being of
the town. Last night, or early this morning, a gun-
smith's shop, in Jordatn-gate, was broken open, and
robbed of a quantity of fire-arms and some gunpowder.
Hithei to the thieves are not detected.
I noticed in a former letter the commitment of the
two other rioters to Chester Castle. When near that
City, O'Brian was quite facetious. He was asked what
brought him to England? "To England!" said
Paddy, gl why :hurt and because Lord Castlereagh sold
Ireland and pawned England ; and I've come over to
look for the ticket, honey !" Alluding to the event of
his trial, he observed, he should soon get amongst the
&soar (tobacco) plants ; but by J---s he would'nt stop
long there, for he'd come back and have another row. '
