William Penny, John liurley, and Robert Grove,
alias Groves, for aiding and assisting in the said
murder. The trial lasted two days, the Court having
adjourned from eleven at night till the following
morning. The Jury, atter deliberating about two
hours, found the whole Guilty, at the same time re'.
commending all to mercy, except John Penny and
John Allen, who appeared to be the principal instil-
' gatots of the business.
The Judge (Mr. Justice HOLROYD) immediately
passed sentence of death upon the whole, and gave
J. Penny and J. Allen no hopes of mercy.
The principal witness against the prisoners was
Wm. Greenway, one of the party, who was admitted'
King's eiiderice.. 'His examination alone lasted up-
wards• of four hours.
The greater number of these young men were of
very respectable appearance, and all resided in the
.neighbourhood cif,Thornbury. Four of the offenders
'are still at large.
Colonel Berkeley very humanely and promptly
tegonded'Ahe recommendation of the Jury that mercy
might be extended to nine of the culprits, whose con-
, duct appeared the least atrocious.
William Adams Bropdribb, the attorney, charged with
aduniiii,tering an Mega; oath to the aht,ve prisoners,
had been found guilty, but had net received s4ntence.

We are sorry to announce the death of Sit' Si, ON

for some time, but his death was rather unexpected.
The report gains ground that the Minister does
not intend to have a Loan in the usual manntir, but
that arrangements are making with the Bank to ad-
vance the sum wanted (and which it is said is much
curtailed) at the latter end of the year, or at least after
the redemption of the present Omnium from,the Bank.
' The amount advanced by the B ink to be repaid at a
future period, by Stock to be taken at a given price..
and to be divided amongst the Proprietors of Bank
Stock, according to their respective proportions.
This measure, while it will be highly advanta-
geous to the Proprietors of Bank Stock, will tend to
raise the Funds considerably,by leaving the operation
of the Sinking Fund unchecked by a Loan on the
market. This report of the Minister's intention is
greatiy sanctioned by the language of the Governor
of the Bank at the last Court.

One ttf the French Deputies, in the debate of 'the
Customs, mokes a most furious attack on the quiet
and favourite English, beverage, tea.: be thinks that
its caustic qualities (as he calls them) would destroy
the charming gaiety of the French character, and,
with a m..st important face, recommends brandy as
the true French drink. No wonder that Frenc" gaiety
is so troublesome to other nations, when its settees all
so fierce and fiery.
