tOVRTS MARTIAL AT MANCHESTER

By directions from Major-General Sir William Warre, the
investigations into the conduct of the non-commissioned offi-
cers and soldiers of the 15th Regiment, charged with having
been concerned -in the recent military outrage at Manchester,
commenced on Saturday week, when a District Court Martial
was held at the Regent-road Barracks, before Lieutenant-
Colonel Campbell. of the 16th Regiment, and other officers.
Serjeant James Taylor was arraigned " for highly improper
conduct, on or about the 23d May, 1843, when aware that a
riot and disturbance, connected with an affray which had
taken place the previous night between some soldiers of the
]sth Regiment and the police, was intended to be renewed by
some soldiers of the 15th Regiment, and not communicating
the circumstance to his superior officers, although warned by
Mr. Walker, turnkey at the New Bailey, that he ought to do
so ; such conduct being greatly unbecoming the conduct of a
non-commissioned officer, and subversive of discipline and
good order." The prisoner pleaded Not guilty.
It appeared, from the testimony of Charles Walker, the

turnkey at the New Bailey, and of William Diggles, his as-

sistant, that, on the day following the disturbance, the ac-
cused went to Walker to pay the fines awarded by the ma-
gistrates against four privates of the 15th Regimeut. In the
course of conversation, he stated, that another row was forth-
coming that night, as the grenadiers had turned out to a man.

Walker told him that the superior officers ought to be in-
formed.

The accused denied the charge, and said the witnesses had
worn falsely. It appeared that the prisoner bore a good
character in his regiment.
The court was cleared several times while the officers of
the court deliberated. On the last occasion it was stated,
that it would be unnecessary for the reporters to return, as
it was near four o'clock, beyond which hour the court had
no power to sit ; and that the judgment of the court would
not be allowed to transpire until it had been approved by the
General.

It is known, however, that the court martial found the
prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to ten days' solitary con-
finement, and to be reduced to the ranks.

On Monday last a District Court Martial was held at the
Regent-road Barracks, to try Serjeant Lawrence Nolan, of
the 15th Regiment, on various charges of misconduct during
the recent collision between the soldiers and the police.
Th. evidence i❑ support of the charge went to show, that
the prisoner had prevaricated in the account which he gave
at the barracks of certain circumstances which occurred on
the night of the 23d ; had wilfully misstated some other cir-
cumstances; had designedly neglected to report to the Co-
lour-Serjeant some of the particulars alleged against privates
Webb and Rooney, then in custody; and had neglected to
report to the officer of the picquet that private Buson was in
confinement.

The prisoner, in his defence, called witnesses, one of whom
stated that he heard the prisoner report Webb and Rooney
to Colour-Serjeatit Abbott. The court adjourned at four
o'clock.

The case was resumed on Tuesday. The prisoner had a
good character given by the captain of his company. The
court was cleared as before, and several deliberations took
place.

Private James Rooney, of the 15th regiment, was arraigned
on the following charges :—" Ist. For having been absent
from tattoo on the night of the 23d May. and not returning
until brought back by an escort the same night. 2d. For
having, on or about half-past twelve o'clock on the morning
of the 24th of May, when a prisoner with an escort of the
regiment, struck police-inspector M'llugh with his fists.
3d. For having, when a prisoner at the time stated in the
second charge, made his escape from the escort." The pri-
soner pleaded Not guilty.
The evidence went simply to the proof of the above
charges. The prisoner had been before convicted of insu-
bordination.

Private Webb, of the same regiment, was arranged on
charges similar to the above, which were proved by a recapi-
tulation of the same testimony.

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the inquiries were
continued. Private James Pollock, of the 15th Regiment,
was tried on a charge of having used threatening language to-
wards the police ; Private William Thorp, of the 15th, on
charge of having, while under arms as one of the escort sent
to quell au affray, attempted to assault Police Constable Mo-
ran, who had claimed the protection of that escort; and Pri-
vate Dennis Tracey, of the 15th, on charge of having
threatened the police.

The decisions of the court, except in the case of Serjeant
Taylor, had not, up to Saturday, been submitted to the Gene-
ral of the district. The Manchester Guardian expresses a
belief, however, that Webb has been acquitted, he having
been previously confined on the same charge. Some charges,
it is said, have been preferred against several privates of the
16th Regiment, for using threatening language to the police
subsequently to the riot, and a second court martial has been
sitting to investigate the matter. Major-General Sir William
Warre was at the barracks on Friday, investigating in person
some circumstances connected with the liberation of soldiers
apprehended on the 23d ult. We understand that in conse-
quence of the misconduct of the soldiers of the 16th Regi-
ment to the police they have been ordered to return to the
barrack in the evening at eight instead of nine o'clock, and,
indeed, it is said that all the troops now in the Regent-road
barrack, consisting of portions or detachments of the Bth,
15th, and 16th Regiments, have been required to conform to
this regulation.

ROBBERY, CREDULITY, AND BIGAMY,

Eliz. Williams, aged 17, of prepossessing appearance, fair
complexion, and profuse flaxen hair, residing in Church-
street, Chelsea, was charged on Friday, at Kensington
Police-office, on suspicion of stealing a silver table-spoon,
the property of Mr. Hitchcock, proprietor of the Gloucester
Arms Tavern, Kensington. The case gave rise to extraordi-
nary disclosures, and the substantiation ofa charge of bigamy
against the prisoner. With regard to the latter point,
Arthur Williams, a young and well-dressed man, a draper,
at present residing at the tavern, and who had been in-
veigled into marrying the prisoner by her deceitful repre-
sentations, made the following depositions :
He knew the prisoner, to whoin he had been married by
licence on Tuesday, the 30th of May last, at Kensington
Church. lie first met her on a Sunday night in September
last at Hyde Park-corner, when, recognising her as a fre-
quent customer at a house of business he was then con-
nected with, he bowed and spoke to her. She then com-
plained of a gentleman who was annoying her behind, and
claiming his protection, he accompanied her to Sloane-
street, beyond which she would not permit him to go with
her. Ile, however, persuaded her to make an appointment
to meet him again, which she kept, and from the con-
versation which ensued he considered her a young female
of strict moral principle, and felt that she had com-
pletely won his affections. At their third interview,
she stated that her father was an Englishman, but that
she was an Italian by birth on her mother's side, and
that ber name was Elizabeth Eleanor Burrows ; that
her mother dying when she was an infant she had been
sent to this country in the care of Captain —, whose
widow had married a person named Etheridge, with whom
she was still living. When old enaugh she stated she had
been placed at a boarding-school at Footscray, Kent, from
which she had been subsequently taken away by her guar-
dian, Sir Harry Daun, Bart., of Rose House, Dartford,
Kent, who had placed her with a Mrs. Cox, residing at No.
3, Old Manor-street, Chelsea, who had an allowance of £2OO
a year with her, and which she afterwards stated she had no
doubt Sir Harry Daun would give her in marriage, as also
the proceeds of the tTnt of a house and farm at Footscray,
which her father had left her. About four months since
the' prisoner wrote to him a letter, requesting to see him
on business of importance, when, on meeting in the evening,
she told him that she been much annoyed by her
guardian, Sir Harry Daun, pressing her to leave Eng-
land with a Count Bellivante, whom she stated her guardian
said was a distant relative of her (the prisoner's) mother, and
in a moment of pretending confidence she told him that both
the count and Sir Harry Daun had made unsuccessful attempts
on her virtue. Under thecircumstances he advised her to go to
her old nurse, Mrs. Etheridge, at Greenwich, for protection,
offering to accompany her; but she declined going then, and
said, that although she could not return to Mrs. Cox's in
consequence of the importunities of the count and baronet,
she could go to her laundress, a Mrs. Gardiner, residing at

17, Manor-street. He recommended her to do so, and she
having; hinted that she had left Mrs. Cox's in haste, attired
en dishabille, and without cash, he gave her 30s. Being
taken ill at Mrs. Gardner's he stopped with her for two days
and two nights, during which time he was never for one mo-
ment alone with her. It was then stated by the laundress,
that she had a sister, wife to a farmer, named Bennett, re-
siding at Henley-upon-Thames, Oxon, to whom the prisoner
might, if he liked, let her go down for a week, and on the
prisoner pressing the same suit next day, he gave her £2 to
pay her expenses. A fortnight after the prisoner apprised
him by note that she had returned, and was again under the
care of Mrs. Cox, the count having gone off to the Conti-
nent; but added, that since incurring her uncle's displea-
sure, she was unable to pay the rent of her old nurse,
Mrs. Etheridge, which she had been accustomed to do. He
met her the same evening, and gave her £4 10s. for the for-
mer purpose, £2 to pay for the physician's attendance on her,
and £2 for her own use. He further gave her Hs. to recover
a ring, which Sir Harry Daun was very angry with her for
losing, and which Mrs. Gardner's husband had pledged with-
out her knowledge. Mr. Williams continued to meet her
daily. On one occasion, when visiting her at Mrs. Gardi,
ner s, a young man came into the room, and demanding to
know what be wanted there said his name was Cox, and the
prisoner his wife ; she afterwards persuaded him that this was
the nephew of her guardian, hut though, in compliance
with Sir Harry Daun's threats, she had been married
to him at Henley-on-Thames, the marriage was not valid,
as it had been performed in a private house. His soli-
citor, to whom he applied, certified him on this point of
law. About six weeks ago she represented that Richard-
son, a friend of her fathers, had come up from the country,
who would prove the marriage illegal, but admitted that it
had been consummated, and said tat, to relieve her from
her unpleasant situation, her friend had removed her from
Cox's to the house of Mr. Body, a clergyman, No. 31,
Church-street Chelsea. Notwithstanding, however, her
friend's positive orders, Mr. Body had admitted Cox into
the house as her husband ; and on Thursday, the 25th ult.,
she came to him in apparently great excitement, and said that
Mr. Body having admitted Cox to her room and bed, she had
fled the house, and could not return to it. Ile walked about
the street with her all that night, as he could not get her to
go to any place of shelter. They again walked about tl-e next
night; and on the third night he persuaded her to enter an inn,
where they sat up in a room all night. On Saturday (the 27th)
she, however, yeilded to his earnest entreaties that he should
take lodgings until he could procure a licence to marry her.
He had then taken the apartments at Mr. Hitchcock's tavern,
representing themselves as man and wife, Having obtained a
license at Kensington on the morning of the third day they had
been there (the 30th), he asked Mr. Hitchcock to be a wit-
ness to their marriage at Kensington Church, who refused,
being vexed at the deception he had used. On their return,
an hour afterwards, he produced the certificate of marriage,
when Mr. Hitchcock permitted them to remain. Since their
marriage she had shown him a letter she said she had re-
ceived from Sir H. Daun, appointing to meet him at a cer-
tain hour at the Green Man Inn, Blackheath, to make an
arrangement; as also another, addressed to " Lord Sea-
grave, Uiherne della Buitta, Milan, Italy," which she said
had been written by her guardian to his lordship to malign
her character, and she induced hits to write a letter in vin-
dication of their marriage. They resided at the tavern till
Tuesday, when Mr. Williams, ou returning home from busi-
ness to dinner, found his wife gone, and on her not coming
back, the rooms of the parties were examined, and the silver
table spoon which the prisoner had had to take medicine in,
with a tea-spoon from another room, had disappeared.
The certificate of the second marriage was produced, found
in prisoner's pocket, and Caroline Cox, of No. 21, Ebury-
place, Church-street, Chelsea, produced the certificate of
the prisoner's first marriage by banns, on the 2Gth of Fe-
bruary last, at St. Luke's, Chelsea, to J. R. Cox. her brother,
a porter, in Charles-street, Grosvenor-square. On one
occasion of coming, her brother found Mr. Williams there
and turned him out of the house. Witness had herself told
Mr. Williams that the prisoner was a married woman, but
he would not believe it.
Mr. Williams said that the last witness bad been always
called to him by the name of Gardiner.
The prisoner said that all she had to say was that Mr.
Williams knew well she was a married woman, as she and
her husband had always told him so. He had taken tier
away without her consent, and when she wanted to go home
again he would not let her, and therefore she ran away in his
absence.
She fainted during the evidence, and appeared in a very
weak state, and covered her face with her hands:
Mr. Clive said be had no doubt the whole parties had been
Williams,
engaged in a deep conspiracy to entrap Mr. and
had great doubt whether the whole ought not to be indicted
The prisoner was fully committed for trial

The following facts and extracts are submitted to members
of convocation, as illustrative of Dr. Pusey's moral claim to
complain of unstable and unjust treatment in the case of his
solemn condemnation by the statuable and responsible tri-
bunal provided in such cases.
February 7, 1836.—A board of heads of houses was sum-
moned, at the request of Dr. Pusey and others, to consider
about the propriety of taking some steps to prevent the ap-
pointment of Dr. Hampden to the chair of divinity.
On Friday, the 4th of March, the heads of colleges pro-
posed that nothing should be done until after Dr. Hamp-
den's inaugural lecture, appointed for March 17th.
Ott Monday, the 7th of March, a requisition was preseeted
to the board, signed by Dr. Pusey and others, giving the
board until the following day• to frame a penal statute, and
refusing to wait until Dr. Hampden had been heard in his
defence.
On March the 10th, the following was issued by Dr. Pusey
and others, in justification of the course to which they had
driven the Executive Board of the University.
Extracts from a Declaration upon the nature and tendency
of the Publications of Dr. Hampden, March 10th, 1836,
signed E. B. Posey and J. H. Newman, &c.
" We cannot allow any explanation of insulated passages
or particular words to be valid in excuse against the positive
language, the systematic reasonings, and the depreciating
tone with which, in Dr. Hampden's works, the Articles of
the Church are described as were human speculations."—
Paragraph 3.
" We hold that the frame of mind which could produce
and send forth such statements is in itself a complete dis-
qualification for the grave and responsible office of presiding
over our academical studies in divinity, and, consequently, of
guiding the religious instruction of half the country."—.
Paragraph 4.
The proctors having placed their veto on the proposed
statute, a second address was circulated after the delivery
of the inaugural lecture, of which the following is an ex-
tract :
" Painful as it is to touch upon such a subject, the commit-
tee (Dr. Pusey, Mr. Newman, Mr. Sewell, and three others)
are bound to declare, that, if reasons before existed for urg-
ing an expression of public distrust, without awaiting Dr.
Hampden's explanation, they are now, if possible, in greater
force," &c.—Paragraph 12.
And again :
" THE QUESTION WAS ALWAYS FELT TO BE ONE WHICH

COULD NOT LEGITIMATELY DE AFFECTED BY ANY EX-
PLANATION WHATEVER.' —Paragraph 13.
And now Dr. Pusey calls for "definite propositions,"
complains of condemnation without a hearing, of unstatu-
tableness and injustice! If the proceedings are unstatutable,
let them be appealed from ; if the statute is unjust, let it be
abolished; but let not the sympathy
of members of convoca-
tion and others be conceded to one who has good reason to
exclaim, taking even his own view of the case,

" Quam temere in nosmet legem sancimus iniquain."
Oxford, June 7. A BACHELOR OF DIVINITY

His Grace the Archbishop of York, who last week conse-
crated the new churches at Elsecar and Kimberworth, is in
the 17th year of his age, and has been archbishop since 1807.
His grace looks remarkably well, and reads the service in a
most effective and impressive manner.

Dr. Chalmers has resigned the professorship of divinity in
the University of Edinburgh, a step which follows up in the
ordinary course of recent events in the Church. The an-
nouncement was made in a letter to the 'l'own Council of
Edinburgh, in whom the patronage of the chair is vested.
An address has been presented to the Vice-Chancellor of
Oxford from a number of resident members of convocation,
requesting him to make known the grounds on which the
sentence on Dr. Pusey was passed. The ice-Chancellor
has declined at present to give any decisive answer.
We believe that a fac-simile of the deed of renunciation,
with the signatures of the seceders, men from the Church of
Scotland, is in course of preparation, and is meant to be
treasured as the record of the Second Solemn League and
Covenant.

SUSPENSION OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Bishop of Glou-
cester has suspended for one year the Rev. G. M. Irvine,
D.D., perpetual curate of the parish of St. Mary, Redcliffe,
Bristol, for having celebrated an illegal marriage, he knowing
at the time that the parties were neither of them resident in
the parish, and also that they were within the prohibited de-
gree of affinity. He is also condemned in the sum of five
pounds. The proceedings were taken under the church dis-
cipline act recently passed.

The Rev. T. E. Morris, whose sermon preached on Ascen-
sion-day at Oxford, was demanded by the Vice-Chancellor,
has addressed a letter to the Times, in which he says that
the passage objected to was this—" Laud, the martyred
Archbishop, who, let us trust, still intercedes for this church,
&c." When the Vice-Chancellor had perused the sermon,
he informed Mr. Morris that all the notice he had to take
officially of the sermon was to require that Mr. Morris would
ex animo express his assent to the 22nd article, which Mr.
Morris said he felt no difficulty in doing, though he did not
see that lie had said involved " invocation" at all. He then
read the article, and received back the copy of his sermon.

OXFORD FELLOWSHIP FOR PRESCOT AND PRESTBURY.
—The question of the right of the natives of the parishes of
Prescot, in Lancashire, and Macclesfield, in Cheshire, to
certain fellowships in the university of Oxford is occupying
at present a considerable share of the attention of the parties
interested in its settlement. Public meetings of the inhabi-
tants of both those parishes have been held within the last
few days, for the purpose of co-operating each with the other
and raising a fond to take such measures as appeared advi-
sable to resist the rescript lately issued by the Lord Bishop
of Lincoln, which alters the mode of examination of candi-
dates for fellowships in the College in. question. The fol-
lowing facts, derived from an authentic source, will serve to
explain the particulars of the dispute :—lt appears that
Brasenose College, Oxford, was originally founded by Bishop
Smith, of Present, and Sir Richard Sutton, of Prestbury ;
and that those two individuals instituted statutes for the Go-
vernment of the College. According to the interpretation
of these statutes. candidates for fellowships, being natives of
the parishes of Preseot and Prestbury, have always been
first examined, and, if qualified, elected ; butif not qualified,
the examination was then extended to the natives of South
Lancashire and Cheshire, and then, if no qualified persons
presented themselves from any of those places, the examina-
tion was open to the whole of the ancient diocese of Lich-
field and Coventry. The present Bishop of Lincoln, who is
the visiter at the college, Iris, on the representation of the
principal and fellows, granted a rescript, by which, under the
name of interpreting the statutes, he has entirely altered the
mode of election, causing it to begin by an examination of
all candidates from the diocese of Lichfield, and only giving
a preference to candidates, from Prescot and Prestbury, in the
rare event of a parity of merit in the view of the examiners.
It has already been stated that a recent election of a fellow,
two candidates from Prescot, both second class men, and one
from Prestbury, who had taken a degree, were passed over;
hut it is not generally known that the gentleman who ob-
tained the fellowship is not even a member of Brasenose
College. The statutes, which were finally settled in 1521,
by Sir R. Sutton, the co-founder of the college, expressly take
away any power to alter them, but, it is admitted, give the
visitor the right of interpreting them, which, as they are in
Latin, may be differently construed ; but the late rescript
destroys at once the ancient mode of election and the privi-
leges which have existed for two centuries. The question was
supposed to have been set at rest in 1815 by the then visitor,
Bishop Towline, who declared that it was the intention of
the founders that preference should be given to the two pa-
rishes named. The following is a copy of the portion of the
rescript now complained of:—" Instead, therefore, of the
rule prescribed by Bishop Towline, I direct the following to
be observed :—That al, natives of the ancient diocese of
Lichfield and Coventry shall be received as candidates, and
that out of them shall be elected the candidate who is aphis
et habilis quoad mores et scientiarn ; that in the case of a
parity of qualification, the preference shall be given, in the
first instance, to natives of Prescot and Prestbury, and in
the secood, to natives of the counties of Lancaster and Ches-
ter, and that in case no native of the ancient diocese of
Lichfield and Coventry, who is habilis moribus et scientice,
shall present himself, candidates from the diocese of Lincoln
shall be admitted." At the Prestbury meeting, the mayor of
Macclesfield presided, and at the Prescot one, the Rev. T.
Dritheld, the vicar of the parish. The resolutions passed on
the occasion were to the effect, that in consequence of the in-
justice done by the rescript, such measures by appeal or
otherwise be adopted as might lead to a reconsideration of
that rescript; and that committees be appointed to apply for
copies of the statutes and documents necessary for ascer-
taming the rights of the natives of the parishes of Prescot
and Prestbury to the fellowships, and to take the opinion of
counsel on such points as might be considered necessary.
With the view of forwarding the object, subscription lists
were opened, to which the names of Mr. Greenall, M.P.,
and several other gentlemen were attached.

John Poynder Esq , a gentleman well known for his advo!
cacy of genuine ehtistianity in this and other countries, has
addressed a letter to the Morning Herald, in which he sug-
gests that the laity of the Church should protest collectively
against the present attempt to restore the corrupt
usurpations of the clergy before the reformation, and to pre-
vent the influx of arbitrary power and the overthrew of civil
liberty, always inseparable from the prevalance of Popery.

MORALITY OF DISSENTING PETITIONERS !—A vehe-
ment opponent of the Educational Clauses of Sir James Gra-
ham's Factory Bill informed ourselves, not two days ago,
that so great is his objection to that measure, that be makes
it a point of duty (!) to sign every petition against it that he
meets with I The morality of such a course of proceeding is
exquisite ; and the acknowledgment of it ought to furnish to
Parliament an idea of the degree of weight to be accorded to
petitions thus dishonestly got up !—British Lion.

A great deal has been said about the liberal politics of his
late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, but we are not
aware, except in the instance we are about to relate, of his
ever having entered into a detailed statement of his princi-
ples. During his memorable visit to Newcastle in 1822, he
was created a free burgess, and we deem his observations, in
allusion to that compliment, of sufficient importance for re-
publication, though it will be seen they contain little beyond
mere general expressions of opinion. If they do not serve
the biographer, they may at least gratify the curious. "My
hon. friend," observed his royal highness, ".with great pro-
priety, introduced my name as connected with the House of
Brunswick, that family which had been called to the throne
of these realms, and came over to this country under a so-
lemn compact of civil and religious liberty; a principle I
have always laid down for the guidance of my public conduct
—a principle which I am sure is congenial with the feelings
of every member of the royal family. In a company like
this, I am aware it would be extremely improper to go be-
yond certain lengths, but there are sentiments which must
be congenial to the feelings of every one, and I should be
extremely sorry if anything should occur to disturb the har-
mony or shock the good sense of this company. All I say
; is, that I am proud of being a member of that royal family
denominated the House of Brunswick. I say denominated,
because it is to this country that we are indebted for the title
and rank in society of being so. I am, therefore, not un-
likely to be a friend and supporter of English royalty ; but I
do not like foreign royalty. I like the English constitution
—I like the principle that the King can do no wrong ; but I
do not wish the evasion of responsibility. I respect and love
the aristocracy of the country, as a link between the sove-
reign and the people ; but I detest an oligarchy. lam an
admirer and a supporter of the rights of the people; but it is
not my interest, and I am not paid for being a republican.
Such are briefly my principles, and I thought it but fair, as
you have done me the honour of electing me a citizen of
Newcastle, that you should know a little of my principles.

ACTIVITY.—" I have lived, said Dr. Adam Clarke, "to
know that the great secret of human happiness is this :
' Never suffer your energies to stagnate.' The old adage of
' too many irons in the tire' conveys an abominable lie. You
cannot have too many, pokers, tongs, and all ; keep them all

A "SHOPPING" SECRET FOR HUSBANDS.—Archdeacon
Paley, in one of his familiar discourses, touching upon the
expences brought upon husbands and fathers, in the way of
cambrics and satins, says,it
" I never let my women
understood he spoke of Mrs. Archdeacon Paley and isses
(be
Paley,) when they shop, take credit. I always make them
pay ready money, sir : ready money is such a check upon the
imagination."

with his usual delicacy, took this opportunity, renderedusait* .
more becoming by the visit of the King of Hanover, to &ill
pate the pecuniary claims of the royal family,
use-
ful to explain the true state of the case. George the Third,
shortly after his accession to the throne, surrendered to Parliament the immense hereditary revenues of the Crown,
the
upon consideration that an adequate civil list should b
secured to him and his successors, and that the junior meta.e
bers of the royal family should be suitably provided for.
The king, we need not say, faithfully fulfilled his part of
the bargain. The hereditary revenues have for eightthyeygeaairn
and more formed part of the public income. But has the
nation gained or lost by the bargain ? About ten years ago
Sir R. H. Inglis moved for a return of the hereditary
revenues, by which return it appears that the nation had
gained—we are afraid to say how many millions, but
is certainly enormous, and it is such as if left to the junior
branches of the royal family, as great part of it must have
been but for the bargain between the king and parliament,
would have rendered them—numerous as they were in George
the Third's reign—incomparably the richest subjects of the
crown. When, therefore, a demand is made in behalf of any
of these junior members, it is a demand not of favour, but
of right—a demand of the fulfillment of a bargain by which

Prince Albert has been elected Lord High Steward of Ply-
mouth in the room of the late lamented Duke of Sussex. His
royal highness's nomination was proposed by a consecrative,
and seconded by a whig member of the corporation.
His Majesty the King of Hanover held a levee on Satur-
day, at one o'clock, at his residence in the Ambassadors'
Court, St. James's Palace, for the reception of the Foreign

Diplomatic Corps.
Her Majesty, it is said, will give one state ball at Bucking-
ham Palace previous to the birth-day drawing-room fixed for
Thursday, 6th of July. Her Majesty's grand dinner at the
palace, on Wednesday, is in honour of the King of Hanover.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert were to visit Drury Lane
Theatre in state last night (Monday). They have not visited
either that or Covent Garden Theatre in state since their
marriage in February, 1840.

An alliance is spoken of in the higher circles as likely to
take place between the second daughter of a noble earl who
held a high office in the Melbourne Administration, and the
eldest son of a noble lord and grandson to a Scottish earl of
large possessions. The lady is travelling in Italy with ber
noble relatives, but the ceremony, it is said, will take place
in England.

The annual circular of Messrs. Clark, Keeling, and Clark
contains much statistical information relative to the present
lion of all sorts of wine into_ the United Kingdom during
1842 amounted to 7,216,113 gallons, being a decree -
d ith 1841, of 492,389 gallons* The decrease se, as
compare wseries of years, for rease has
indeed progressed for a
of 1841 exhibited a decrease of 1,602,745 gallons, ports
pared with those of 1810; while those of 1840 sheweads cciro-
crease of 597,802 gallons, as compared with 1839. a de-
total deliveries from bond, both for home consumption The
for exportation, during 1842, were 6,326,654 gailan and
shows a decrease, compared with 1841, of 1,790,/65 gallons,
the total deliveries of 1841 showing a decrease of gB74°ll:l'
gallons compared with 1840, and that year shewing decrees
of 62,571 gallons compared with 1839. Dividing the des
liveries for home consumption from that for exportation,
it is shown that the total delivery for home consum e
I) ion
for 1842 was 4,515,222, which, compared with 1841, shows a
decrease of 1,369,738 gallons. Here also the decrease has
rogressed during a similar period with that of the total im-
portsp, since the deliveries of 1841 were 368,962 gallons less
than in 1840, and in 180, 446,564 gallons les th •
s an in 1839.
Thus, the total decrease during the last three years has
tookb
een
2,185,264 gallons, of which by far the larger portion
place last year, showing the evil effects of the protracted ne-
gotiations with the wine countries. The total
delivery for
exportation comparede ear 1842 was 1,511,432 gallons which i
a decrease, witn 1811, of 420,427ga110n5.
Here
we have a decrease, compared with 1840, of 505,219 gallons,
and
but a progressive increase during 1838. 1839,
e
total stock of all wines in th United Kingdom on the sth of
January, 1843, amounted to 11,444,594,w1 • b lic , compared with
the stock in January, 1842, showed an increase of 669,213
gallons ; though it is remarked that 1842 showed a decrease,
compared with January, 1841, of 615,087 gallons.
REBECCA AGAIN•—ALARMING STATE O theE COVNTRY.
—Warrants of distress were issued against parties fined
for defrauding Water-street gate, and the constables pro-
ceeded to execute them. They reached Brynchwith about
seven o'clock this morning, where they were informed that
Samuel Bowen was only a lodger with his father, and had no
effects of his own. The constables then left towards Talog,
but when on the way there they heard tbe sound of a born
and immediately be two and three hundred persons
assembled together, with their faces blackened, some dressed
in women's caps, and others with their coats turned, so as
to be completely disguised, armed with scythes, crowbars,
and all manner of destructive weapons which they could lay
their hands on, and after cheering the constables, detied them
to do their duty. The constables then had no alternative
but to return to town without executing the warrants. The
women were seen running in all directions to alarm their
neighbours; and it is supposed that some hundreds more
were concealing themselves behind the hedges; and did not
intend to make their appearance unless their services were
required. We have just seen a person who came through
Talog this morning, and when he passed the village the whole
country seemed were aroused and waiting the arrival of the
constables, who going to levy on the premises of John
Harries, of Talog mill, for the amount of the fine and costs
imposed on him by the magistrates for non-payment of tolls.
There could not have been less than two hundred Persons
assembled to resist the execution of process, and vast num.
hers were flocking there from all quarters. Our informant •
states, that on his approaching Talog, a man passed him on
horseback, blowing a horn as a signal to the Rebeceaites to
repair thither. Various other. mounted messengers were
scouring the country and sounding the tocsin of alarm. T
