NOTTINGHAM, DECEMBER V.

His Majesty's Government has at length thought
proper to issue out a Proclamation for the apprehen-
sion of any person concerned in the outrages in this
town and neighbourhood, with a reward of £5O to
the informant, on conviction of the offender ; as like-
wise the same reward and free pardon to any one of
um depredators whe may impeach his companions.
The Corporation of Luis town are also adopting the
most vigorous and determined measures to put an
end to the riotous scenes ; they have passed a vote of
Hall to appropriate 42000 out of their chamber-purse

approbation.
Mr. Luowuz, the Ex-Magistrate, on his health
being given, entered at considerable length into the
merits of the Catholic Question, and JosePH LA.:-
cAsreit, the Lecttuer on Education, who was pre-
sent, also delivered his sentiments at some length.
Both speakers were greeted with loud applattses.
At 10 minutes past two o'clock on Friday morn.
ing, Lord FigGALL left the Chair, when Major
BitvaNt was called to replace his Lordship, and the
last of the Company bad not retired before half past
three o'clock.

A decree has recently passed in Denmark, which
presents a most gratifying. proof of the superiority of
British Courts in the administration of justice. By
this measure, which is dated the 15th instant, his
DANISH MAJESTY decrees, that a certain proportion
of the proceeds of all prizes Is to be set apart,in order
to its being distributed, during the wars amongst such
of the Judges and other Public Officers, whose reve-
nues do not exceed one thousand or twelve hundred
crowns ai nu illy.

Notwithstanding the . loption of such cogent mea-
sures, two frames were last night broken at Arnold,
a village only four miles from hence.
Rioters, and individuals who have collected money
for their support, are daily brought to prison: one of
whom has given information against several of his de-
luded companions.

Just as this Riper was going to presi we were in-
formed, that List night, as one of the Police Officers
was on the lock-out for the person or persons
concerned in the murder of Mr. M.sattand &roily, he
followed two sutpicious-looking persons into a public
house in Rateliff-highway, and, after a conversation,
took them into custody, when one of them turned
evidence, and infermed of four more, all Portuguese,
that committed the horrid murder of Mr. MARK and
family.
We have heard that the s:x Portuguese sailors
above mentioned have since been discharged out of
custody, no sufficient proof having appeared against
them.
