AIAIDSTOCIF, imam 2.
John Pede, alias George Watson, a man of most re.,
spectable appearance and gentlemanly deportment,
'desciih:d is the calendar as a.merchant„was arraigned.
on lour several indictments for forging bills of exchange
on houses in the metropolis, purporting tobe drawn by•
foreign houses, to the amount, in the- whole, of abOut
1501. and uttering the same at Penshumt, knowing them
to be forged, with intent to defraud persons in this
county.—The prisoner, though humanely warned oft
his peril by the Learned Judge, persisted in pleading
Gui/ty to all the indiermentsSentente postponed.
The prisoner's self-possession did not desert him
throughout this appalling situation. It was rumoured
throughout the Court that he word 3 stand his trial,though
he had, since his apprehension, determined on the line
of conduct which he this day pursued. and the post-
ponement which he requested in the earlier pan of the
day, gave a kind of confirmation to the report.--
That, however, did not proceed from any thing like
hesitation; as it was solely asked to enable him to execute
a conveyance, which had been in preparation, of some
property, the fruits of his plunder, in favour of an tra-
fortunwe female whom he had seduced from her friends,
and who was for the last two years his associate in the
daring schemes by which he levied contributions upon
the public ; and thus, by a strange anomaly in our cri-
minal code, whilst the personal chattels of the criminal
are pronounced forfeited, he is still allowed to execute
deeds by Which landed property to any extent may be
conveyed, if executed previous to arraignment and con.
♦fiction. We understand that the prisoner is from the
neighbourhood of Cockermouth, and is most respectably
connected there. He was employed as a commercial
traveller for many years by a first-ratehou se, and having
become a defaulter to them about seven years ago, he
absconded, and has ever since pursued the course which
has led him to his fate. He is stated in the calendar to
be only 38 years of age, and appeared at the bar plainly
dressed in a blue sailor-like jacket, and drab terseymere
pantaloons.

part of the house was occupied by a -person natotd

consequence of articles of lace being frequently missed
out of the shop, the prisoner was tared with stealing

Richard Bailey, John Thompson, and Mary Cool,
were indicted for a highway robbery, committed by them
upon the person of itihn bl,Master, at- three o'clock oet
the morning of the 18dt of March last. From the•avi-
dence of M,Master, it appeared he had been drinking at
a house some distance from his own home, with amass
named Stuart, and another person, and that when Le-weei
about to return, Stuart's friends begged him scr stoke
Stuart. who was very drunk, under his peoteetiort;
he did so ; but just before they got to the worts. in.
which the two courts are situated, Stuart burst wrap.
from him, and ran up to a bad house. from whence,
however, he speedily retreated, having had someetrater,
thrown at him. The two men -and the woman Shea

swore that Stuart was very drunk, but that he himself
was perfectly sober.
Stuart, on ben! examinedoraried a little from M' Master's ater.

prosecutor could hate been quite sober.

GALWAY, JULY 20.

Thomas Dillon Lambert, John IV. Browne, Esq. the
Eon. Dennis Arthur Bingham, Pat O'Connor, loderick
OTcrstnor, David Wilson, and John Blake, Esqrs. were
this day placed at the bar. to stand their trial for the
murder Jeremiah Sullivan, on the 28th of June last.
The iniiciment, upon which a true bill had been
found the preceding day, charged that Thomas Dillon
Lambert did, on the 28:h day of June, in the seventh
}ear of his present Maj.-sty's reign, wilfully and mall-
.c.ously discharge a pistol, loaded with a leaden ball, at
the person of Jeremiah Sullivan, thereby inflicting on
him a mortal wound, of which he languished and died;
and that the said Denis Arthur Bingham, and the se-
veral .other prisoners arraigned, were then and there aid-
ing and assisting the said Thomas Dillon Lambert.
Theprisoners pleaded " Nut Guilty."
A considerable time was occupied before the Jury were sworn,
and the panel of which only forty answered to their names, was
called over on fines of £5O.
Eleven challenges were made on the part of the Crown, and se-
venteen on the part of the prisoners.
The Jury having been sworn,
Igr. Nos.= stated the case briefly on the part oldie prosecution,
and detailed with great clearness ilaa facts connected with it.
• • The first witness examined was Francis O'Shaugh-
nessy, an apothecary—Lives in Merrick.square, next
door but one to Kilroy's hotel. Remembers the 28th
June last. Was standing at his own door on the evening
of that day. Knows the prisoners at the bar. Identifies
them. Saw the prisoners, with several others, on the
evening inquestion. Saw them running out of Kilroy's
hotel. They were all armed. Mr. Browne had a case of
pistols, Mr. Lambert had another case. Mr. R. O'Con.
nor h.d one pistol, Mr. Wilson a swords which was in
the scabbard at the time he lert the hotel. Cannot re-
collect whether Mr. Bingham was armed or not. Other
futons besides those already named accompanied the
prisoners, but they were not armed. Did not see Mr.
Make. one of the prisoners, with them on that evening.
—l.be prisoners went out in a great hurry. 'there
*ere six or eight persons of the same tank as the
prisoners in company wi h them. No persod of
inferior tank accompanied them. The Gentlemen,
cm quitting the hotel, first went into Kilroy's-yard, and
remained there about a minute. Witness was looking
st them, and saw Mr. P. O'Connor arm himself with a
Inas pitchfork. and Mr. R. O'Connor had a rack stave.
7i'ise other Gentlemen who are not now at the bar, -were
arn.ed, some with scrapers, others with handles of
brooms end shovels. When they came out they stopped
ppposite Kilroy's gateway. The whole party stopped
for a moment. Witness saw Mr. R. O'Connor raise
the rack stave over his, head, and heard him call out,
i• Come, boys, fellow me," or words to that effect. Be.
side. these there were ten or twelve of the lower class,
Kilroy's hotel was occupied during the election by Mr.
La nlert's friends. Tie prisoners,with the other persons,
on leaving the gateway, ran on in the direction of
William-street. The party at this time amounted to
• between twenty-five and thirty. They proceeded at a
- quick pace, and witness soon lost sight of them. Re-
:stained standing at his own door during their absence.
lit about five minutes the whole of the prisoners re-
turned. Does not include Mr. Blake. They passed
witness's door to the hotel, armed as they went out
With the exception of Mr. Browne, who brought back
but one pistol. Heard no shots fired, nor any thing
said by them on their return.
Gross-ex •mined by Mr. PENNETATHEZ—His house
adjoins Kilroy's hotel. Witness was at home on Sun-
slay, the '2sth of June. Remembers the house in the
square being attacked and burned by the mob. The
house was opposite witness's. Mr. Lambert's freeholders
were in the house when at was set on fire. Saw the mob
pelting stones at it while the house was burning. This
burning was not the only outrage that was committed
during the omi-in. Witness soon lost sight of the party
who came out of Kilroy's. They turned down William-

street at about 100 yardsfiom where witness was stand-
ing. Heard of no uproar on that evening in the rear of
Inn's. The party wet e not five Mill3Hei away from
Kilroy': till their return.
William Kennedy examined through the medium of
an interpreter.—Was at the door of a man named Ste-
4,hens, opposite the meat marker, in William-street;'
knew but three.of the prisoners, Mr. Lambert and the
two Mr. O'Connors. Did not see what arms the petty
had. Saw two pistols with Mr. Lambert ; saw the party
tiring down the street; there was a great crowd there
rit she time ; some of the people were not ten yards from
where the pistols were fired—others were 100 yards off.
Saw Mr. Lambert tire two shots; can't say whether
they took effect or not. Knew the deceased ; saw him
standing at the opposite side from where the witness
was, near the meat mat ket ; saw him atter that running
into the meat market, and Mr. Lambert running after
him; did not see anything in the Messrs. O'Connor's
hands ; did not see them doing anything ; saw no stones
thrown; did not see any people coming out of Prender-
gast.% garden ; there was a large mob assembled at the
shambles; Mr. Lambert and Mr. O'Connor ran back,
:vier the shots were filed.
After she ease for the Crowe had closed,
Mr. Nal NUATIIKIt addressed the Bench, and stated,
that Alt.. John Blake was entitled to an acquittal, inas-
much as no evidence had been offered sufficient to in-
culpate him in the transaction.
The Counsel for the Crown agreed with Mr. Penne-
father, and the Jury accordingly, under the direction of
the Learned Judge, found Mr. Blake Not• Guilty, and he
was discharged before the defence of the other prisoners
was gone into.
FOR THE Davanco.—William Shepherd a private in
the Bth Hussars, was examined. He was quartered in

We have, on former occasions, very frequently re-
marked, that if the period be redacted for conceding
to our fellow subjects of the RA:lan Catholic persua-
sion an entire par ticipation in the political pilvileges of
the British Constitution, they have to thank their own
infatuated Priesthood for the delay ; inasmuch as those
men daily and hourly demonstrate, by their own eon•
duct, that such a concession at the prisent moment
would be utterly hicampatible with the civil and-reli-
gious liberties of the rest of the community; which, in
this country at least, compose nearly ninety-nine in a
hundred of the population. And it really would seem
chat the Potent which watches over those liberties,
brings about events which open our eyes to the whole
danger. Thus, at a recent meeting of the County of
Tipperary, held at Clonmell, on the 27th'of July, for
the ostensible purpose of petitioning Parliament in
favour of Emancipation, but in reality to celebrate the
triumph of the Popish Priesthood in the late Election,
the important fact is boldly, and with exultation,
avowed, that the Clergy of the Roman Catholic Church,
one and all, interfered most actively in political affairs,
and compelled the blinded multitude who are now
under their yoke, by the terror of spiritual censures, to
vote, contrary to their own worldly views of expe-
diency, in favour of those candidates whom the Priest-
hood set up as their champions in the next Parliament.
That the private inclinations of the people flowed in a
different channel is evident, from the recorded proof
that it became necessary to work upon their conscien-
tious scruples, by the anathema of their Church, in
order to induce them to obey its mandate. At this)
meeting, one Ssomati, a Popish Priest, is reported to

have lifted the veil 'Which has shrouded hitherto their
ulterior purposes, in the following paragraph :
"I'ltrthe age of !imbue is deer—and'rtrutt no man will be sup-
/tap e 4 (that is, as a can4ldato for a 'that in Parliament), unless
one who not only votes foe Catholic fretdom, but obi refeses to
" give a shilfins to the Minister who Will not coalcol to EmanciPars"."
If, then, political power t Papists is to be extorted
from the Minister who conscientiously thinks the con-
cession dangerous vs the liberties of his country, by a
threat of stopping the machine of Government by
withholding the supplies, then we can only say that no
one can any longer pretend ignorance of the quarter
under whose domination the Roman Catholic party,
when once admitted to power, will be therafter placed.
It is clearly admitted that a faction, under the guid-
ance of Popish Priests, and blindly subservient to their
will, is contemplated hereafter in our National Councils,
and we well know at what point the modesty of that
hierarchy would stop in their ulterior demands. The
Roman Catholic Church is notoriously and essentially
intolerant: It demands concessions which it never yet
granted to those of other persuasions. Is there in Eng-
land a single individual conversant in history, who
believes that the Priesthood of Rome would stop at
anything short of the supremacy of their own Church
ih all its ancient dominion? But we are warned in
time. The Dimas AUTHOR of our Religion has said,
14 My kingdom is not of this world." Bat those, his
professed Ministers, plainly thew the kingdom to which
they aspire. They have filed their yoke on the con
sciences of an ignorant and darkened people, and they
avowedly apply their power to political purposes, and
urge on their votaries to obtain, even by compulsory
means, that kingdom which is of this world.

The German Papers race d lis morning are wholly
destitute of interest. An article from Mayence, in the
Aligenteine Zeitung of the 28th nit. draws some com-
parisons unfavourable to the prospects and manage-
ment of the Netherlands Cimpany.

Mexican Papers have been received to the 18E11 May,
but they contain no information worth quoting.

The letters received at Bourdeaus from Calcutta are
to the I6'h March. They do not bring any news from
our armies, but state, according to accounts from
the interior, that the hsrvest of 1826 mill not be so
productive by half, as that of 1826 ; also, that a great
number of the landholders are greatly embarrassed.

A series of the St. Petersbure Journal, to the 19th
ult. has reached u'. Several of the Papers are taken
up with descriptions of the public festivities which took
place in celebration of the Empress ALEXANDRA'S
birth-day, on the 18th of July. The Journal of the 17th
done contains something of a political nature, in
the shape of a Reicript of the Emperor to the Mi-
nister of War, thanking him for his zeal and services
at the head of the late Commission of Inquiry. Of the
results of the Report of that Commission, nothing is
further. said. The Coronation of the EMPEROR was to
take place in the course of the present month, and an
invitation to attend at Moscow by the Ist of August had
been issued by the Senate to the Civil Governors of pro-
vinces, the Marshals of the Nobility and the Mayors of
the chief towns.

Brussels Papers to the Sd inst. state that the sentence
passed upon the Members of the Society of Youths had
been communicated to them, and that instead of ap-
pealing from it, all had preferred submitting to the
clemency of the KING. JOSEPH BONAPARTE was daily
expected at Brussels, where a house has been prepared
for his reception. The POPE had written a letter to the
King of the NITHERLANDS, thanking him for his
splendid gift of 2'0,000 florMs, towards rebuilding the
Church of St. Paul, at Rome, and expressing a wish
that the Roman Catholics may be equally liberal if
Protestant Churches had to be rebuilt. This is a senti-
ment which does honour to the religious liberality of
the SArereign Pontiff.

The Erode of Wednesday, together with the other
Journals of the previous day, have come to hand. The
Debars asserts, on the authority of letters from Bucha-
rest, that Constantinople was once more the seat of con-
flagration and slaughter, the Janissaties, who were con-
sidered compldely conquered, having taken up arms
again ; and supported by a portion of the people who
had obtained no share of Maftatoup's largesses,
having set on fire the buildings where the new troops
were quartered, and laid siege to the Seraglio. At
' Adrianople, Widdin, Sophia, Silistria, and even Bel-
grade, the Janissaries were also said to be in arms, and
to have prevailed upon the people to join them. The
Erode, on the other hand, declares. that letters had been
received from Constantinople to the 4th of July, which
made no mention of those events.

Advices from Spain in these Papers announce that an epidemic
disorder bad just broken out at Seville, the symptoms of which
much resembled those of the yellow fever.
The letters from Holland
.this morning state, that the
Dutch Banks have not only given notiee,to discount at n per cent.
but will advance on Public Securities at fowler cent.

The accounts frdm the country are favourable.
There is a great demand for fine cloth in Yorkshire; and from
Manchester they state that Wednesday was a very busy day there.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. .

The Cortsoi Market is all alive, and greatly itn:
proVed. Consols, which were in the earlier part of the.morning at
78i to 511 for the Account, have since been dons at 79k, and for
money at 79. This improvement is owing to all heavy Stocks
having considerably adv.meed, as well as the abundsock* lqoory,
and the Public beginning to purchase.
The Bca►e are now become exceedingly alarmed, and conformal
turning their accounts, fearing to be caught with too heavy a loss.
A good deal of business has been transacted. The foreign Market
has also rather improved since the earlier part of the
