Mr. Baron WOOD presided in the Crown Court

Nibi Prius Court.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY came to the Crown Court
about one o'clock, and the Grand Jury having found
some bills, proceeded with the criminal trials. Of the
seven Prisoners, two were admitted witnesses for the
Crown; five only, therefore, remained for trial.
James llindhaugh, a youth of 21, was charged
with the theft of more than 601. taken from his mas-
ter's desk. On his arraignment, he pleaded guilty.
hut the Judge persuaded him, as it wave capital of.
fence, to plead not guilty. The following facts
were disclosed in evidence :—On the 29th of April
the office desk of Mr. Anthony Lambert, and Mr.
John Lambert, his son, Solicitors, in Ainwick, was
L forced open, and upwards of 621. were taken out of
it. The lock was found in such a state that the key
could not be turned in it, and on examining it a
Small piece of iron, like the point of a nail, was
found in it. The Prisoner had on the preceding day,
borrowed a picklock from one Riley, which be re-
turned the nest diy ; his pretence was, that he had
lost the key of his trunk. The point was broken of
this, pirMock, and the point found in the lock fitted
it exactly. The Prisoner, after he had been coos-
milted, told the cook in the family, that the mew
might be found in a stone bottle under a broke
stone in the yard ; there it was found. The number ,
of the notes had not been taken, but Mr. Lambert
had previously given ten of those notes, whirl, were
of the Bank of Eogland, to Mr. J. Lambert. Those
notes he had taken from a sum of 200 notes, whose
numbers framed a regular wipe. Upon looking at
the remainder after the theft had been committed, a
chasm WWI found from No. 1380 to 1391. In the
bottle were found the intermediate ten numbers.—
The Prisoner had been the eldir Lambert`e footman,
and slept in a room opposite the office. The office
was part of the dwelling-house. The best character

directing that no treasures or ammunition should he

withoot an escort of twenty mete. All these posts
have been lately strengthened from hence, and mil
expect that the three. Provinces, called •the Small

the Governor to call in his scattered detachments,

CORONER'S INQUEST.

•~

An Inquisition was taken •on Vi'ednesday afternoon, before
T. STIRLING, I sq. which fated from four o'clock till midnight,
at the Hog in Armour, Great Clerkenwell, on the
body of an illegitimate child, the daughter of a woman named
Ann Londe:, alias Watts, which evidently died of neglect, After
several Wisne*A.s were examined,
The mother of the deceased was called, and the CORONER told
her that if she chose to'give es idenee, she,anight ;-bet she wits not
bound to answer nny tine-tion which would, criminate herself.
She, therefore, declined giving evidence. . • -
The Comment; summed up the evidence.ke Said there could be
no doubt in the minds of any who had heard, the evidence, that
the deceased had been treated with very gross neglect ; but they
should consider whether it was from the wilful conduct of its
mother, or whether it was inertly frotis her ignorance how a
child should be attended to. ,‘ If(said lee) you find that the de-
ceased Died from the wilful neglect of its mother, that verdict.
will amount
there has been some degree of neglect, though not With the
wicked wilful intent to destroy the child, .you will more pro..
perly return a more indefinite or qualified verdict, and no doubt
the parish will consider this case a tit • r..re t.ir a prosecution
r.hen they are in possession of the evidence, and no verdict of
your's will preclude the punish from instituting a prosecution
against the mother."
The Jury after one hour's deliberate consideration gave their
presentments severally. eight found a verdict of " Died from
the cross neglect of its Mother;" and five 'monied a verdict of
" neglect against the Mother;" after further consulta-
tion the following verdict tea.: unanimously returned The
death of the deceased was produced by the gross neglect of its
mother."

It would appear by the accounts from Madrid that
the Spanish Cabinet have not received any official de-
tails from Gen. MORILLO for a long time, whatever
itkfriends in this country pretend to have received,
and that the state of affairs in Mexico is far from
what has been represented. Letters have been re•
ceived in the Spanish Capital, of the 11th of Jane,
which admit that the Insurgents had• again appeared
in considerable numbers on the road to Mexico, from
whence an escort had just arrived with three millions
of dollars, which were to be put on board the Sibyl
frigate, one eut of many others lying at Vera Crez,
and proceeding to Jamaica.

It appears by the communications received from
Ceylon, one of which we insert, that the state ¶if
affairs in that island is more alarming, and fraught
with confusion, than at ■ny former period. Mar.
dal Law was proclaimed on the (2d of March,
throughout the whole interior of the country ; a
General Order having Men previously issued, di.
recting that neither money nor ammunition should
be removed from certain posts therein wilco.

larked, without an escort of twenty men.--
The Governor was obliged to concentrate his force
the neighbourhood of Candy, where his various
detachments had been threatened by the natives.—
The Dessawe of Ouvah occupied part of our ttoops
in Lower Ouvah ; while the Pretender, as he it
called, or some of his adherents, hung epos( our
communications between Candy and Colombo. • The
natives are represented to have got together both
aminuoition mod arms. The most melancholy pro-
spects seem to haunt the minds of our countrymen,
whose interests are involved in those of the British
settlement at Ceylon.

Some of our cotemporaries are taking up the sub-
ject of Arbuthnot and the persons who were executed
pursuant to the sentence of a Military Court-mar-
tial, on the southern frontier of America, but they
are endeavouring to discuss sh• matter totally in the
dark as to any of the facts adduced on the trials.
--A Morning Paper gives the copy of a let-
ter from Arbuthnot, " to an Officer of high
rank in this country," about three month. before
his execution, which merely prove.; that he was a
principal acting party among the Creek Indians at
that time; that several of the Chiefs of the Indians,
whom we bad drawn into the late war with America,
had written to our Commanders for ammunition, and
that they expected to have such supplies afforded
them by ass and that Arbuthnot did not be.

FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1818.

•
Both Houses of Parliament met last night. There
is seldom much discussion in the first sitting after an
adjournment in which the notices are lost; but in
the House of Lords one point of consequence to the
Public was Particularly adverted to. The Earl Of
LAUDERDALE alluded to the rumours in circulation
respecting the issue of transferable Stock Darn.
tures on the credit of property lying in 'the
Funds, and pressed the Earl of LivEnepot. to gire
Parliament and the Country some intimation of what
may be the intentions of his Majesty's Ministers
on that subject. Lord LAUDERDALE considered the
knowledge of this fact as necessary to hid own pro-
posed motion respecting the Coinage of thacoontry.
His Lordship's questions were, however, eluded,
is a way that may perhaps be considered as an as
knowledgment that some such plan is in contempla-
lion. The Treasury Lord, in his mysterious mode
of answering the. question, caotiomsd the Carl of
Layozan4pg prevte Sift 400 easy a belief to all the
dimmers that haws bow circulating respecting Mode.
'lgoe of Governasset, and assured him that
would satisfactorily explain, in their own good time,
whatever measure they might think proper to bring
forward. That a step so necessary would be taken,
we can believe; but even in this, we fear, is im-
plied the intention of iudefinitely enlarging the cur-
rency of the country—of rendering it escleeively
one of paper not convertible intocash--otodof grant-
ing an end.. beeefit to Stock.hoiders, to the utter
confusion of all oar internal commerce, and the
ruin of the agricultural and manufacturing classes.

To TXI EDITOR or rug TIMES.

Sin,—A mistake hosing gone forth in your gene. 11
rally •judged impartial and widely circulated Paper, in
its repnrt of the proceedings at the late Westminster
Meelieg, you will, I am certain, allow me to correct
'it. 1 am reported to have staled to the Meeting, that
Mr. lloblteuse had renounced his family,Rnd to have
approved such renunciation; now, Sir, I beg leave
to say, that had Mr. Hobhnuse renounced his family,
I should have been one of the first persons to IP.
nounce him ; for I am no admirer of the morality
which neglects immediate to fulfil remote duties, nor
of the philosophy which teaches men to love the
Chine'e and not their neighbours, any more than of
tie philanthropy which excludes love M our coon.
try, or of the patriotism which excludes love of our
family. It is, on the contrary, because Mr. Hob-
house is warmly attlichild to his family, because I
believe him to he a dutiful son, an affectionate
brother, a sincere and generous friend, that 1 also
believe he will prove a faithful trustee for the I'ub.
lic ; an undaunted advocate for truth and justice. •
My statement, Sir, was. that warmly ■s Mr. Doll-
house was attached to his family he would not allow
even those feelings improperly to interfere with *his
public principles and duty ; and this was a pledge of
his sincerity, &c. I might have safely added, that
the liberality of his father was never likely to put
Mtn to the painful necessity of choosing between
his public and private duties, or of disturbing the
harmony which so happily subsists in the. whole
family.
I will jest observe, I am not surprised that Re-
porters should hew:molly make mistaken; I am sur-
prised, considering the difficulty of the task, that
they are so frequently correct. I should be sorry to
be supposed to impute any blame ; but the fact and
my own sentiments jneing so opposite to the state-
ment,i thought it inapyrrtint not to remain so misun-
derstood.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient, &c.

Wen a writ of Habeas Corpus to be bailed on a

1i understood there were long affidavits ; but as be
bad a preliminary ohjectien to make, he considered
It light to apprise the Court of it, and to save thee
ihe trouble of hearing the depositiona, till that piers
litninary .objection was disposed of. Fqur names hid
been handed to bins a the proposed bail, all of them
be believed highly respectable, but all residnot in Irv.
land, and he cloaked whether, in this case, such
bail was eligible.
Tl.t. Court also expressed its doubts on the subject.
In the case of en offence being committed in either
England or Ireland, and the party fleeing to the
tither country, bail might be taken in either place, a
worihion to this effect being made by Act of Par.
lisment ; but in the present case it *as different, the
Ofl'esice was committed on the high 'Hs. The De-
rendaitt must be remanded, not finalty, but to af-
ford an opportunity for the Coen_ to consider the
point.
The Arroasulf-GENeItAL said, be had no wish to
oppose the hail offered, if the Court should consider
ban resident in Ireland as sufficient to secure the De-
. feridant's attendance to take his trial.
Mr. Justice IttYtu said, the Defendant being
-now brought op on Habeas Corpus, could not he
brought up again without a new writ ; if it should
ultimately be determined that the bail was eligible, an
serengement might be made fot taking it at the Ses-
sions in the country, sod the expence of a new writ
be thus rendered unnecessary.
The ATTORNET•GENE!tAL said, the suggestion of
the Court should be attended to.

APPREHENSION OF MR. HARVEY.

About the period of the dissolution of Pas Us.
meat, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, and
of elegant manners, travelled in the west of England
in a cordage and four, under the assumed name of
Ilariey, and stated every Where that he was going to
offer himself 'as a Candid+ for one of the Cornwall
boroughs—varying the name of the borough as it
suited his Purpose. In his progress, he introduced
himself to a number of country bankers, to whom he
elated tip object his had in view, observing, that no.
thing was to be done without plenty of money at
Borough elections, and producing at the same time
letters of credit from bankers in London with whom
they were connected. These letters were forgeries.
Many of the bankers, acting with caution, declined
crediting this impostor, but with others he was too
successful. He is reported to have netted by bis
fraudulent representatiOne upwards of 20,0001. The
numerous frauds he-hid committed being soon after.
wards discovered, he was traced to have sailed for
France, where pursuit wastuade after him, but with.
out effect. -Application being made by, the parties
most interested to Lord Castlereagh, he wrote to the
British. Envoys and Console abroad on the subject.
Information was also
,dispatched to Bankers on the
Continent. These various, measures were attended
with the desired effect. The culprit was ultimately
discovered at Turin iu the disguise of a servant; and,
according to information, which reached town oat
Friday, be was on his way to Englind. ander a
proper escort. Property to the amount of 13,0001.
is said to have been found upon him.

Sons of * oew . end improved road from the eight-
s/tile stone on Roboroogh Down to Tavistock, is
taken flit with e degree of spirit which is likely to TO.,

of road was last week milletely inspected by a most-
respectable assemblage of the neighbouring Gentle.'
shoo, sod a Committee of the Trustees of the Turn-
pike, when the survey'of Mr. Lakemen was envoi-
meetly approved-, and it wes agreed to recommend
Its adoption; provided the fund of the troll, with,
the aid of voluntary subscription, should be found.
*depots to defray the estimated espences. Feeliog
as we do% in a national pirint of view, the import,
of a safe and speedy conveyance from" one part
of the kingdom to another, we cannot but be highly
gratified et the noble Pod liberal exatiple which hat,;
been set by his Grace the bake of Bedford,' by offer..
jug a donation of one thousand pounds towards this
desirable undertaking; and it has been signified,
through Mr. Wilson, to be his Crsce's intention to
glee the ',teal& lead belongins to him, over which,
the intended road is to be made. We alp learn with
mock satisfactitin, that a few public spiyited indivi.,
deals, who met on this occasion, subscribed the sum
of $OOl. by .way of• loin, free of interest, besides
donations and liberal offers of advances upon the se-
curity of the tolls, which we are happy to find are not
likely to biiocreased by theintended improvement,
The many steep and dangerous bills between these
towns and Tavistock, are too well known to require
any particohtv'deseription from' is. If the object of
the proposed line 'of road had merely embraced the
idea of lessening the tremendous hill neer Ilorre-
bridge, we should have deemed the plan well worthy
&be atteutiVit consideration of the Trustees of that
turnpike; but when it is demonstrated that by wind-
ing round, instead of mounting over the summit of
this terrific bill, the ascent and descent may be
accomplished by an easy inclined plane of less than
one foot in thirty, and the line of road extended in
like manner to Taviatock, it is too obvious to require
further explanation; that less power will do the
same quantity of work, and that there will not
only be a considerable saving in labour horses,
but that the distance frorn place to place will be
performed in less time, it most be very de-
sirable that every
•facility should be given to
the iOtOTCOSIOO between the populous towns of Ply.
mouth Dock, and the interior of this extensive
county, the key to which is the markets of Tavis-
Sock, which by an' improved road will open a re.
elprocal trade, and by an exchange of produce for
imerchandite, prove advantageous to the inhabitants
of the neighbouring districts. We therefore ear-
nestly hope, that no private feeling, or pecuniary
consideration will stand in the way of an improve-
ment so evidently beneficial to the community.—

EXELMON.

This morning. a few Wastes before eight o'cleek, David
Evans, the murderer of his wife, was brought oat from New-
gate to undergo She sentence of the law, and as the clock was
striking, the drop fell, and the unhappy mss was lasioched Into
eternity. He bung until eight initiates after nine o'clock, when
he eras cut dawn by the executioner, placed in a curt, and taken
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital for dissection. He appeared
pettitent, and was dressed in a suit of old clothes.
In consequence of she numerous applications on Saturday
inst, by persons of different religious permeations. to be ad,
milted to Evans, in the hopes of affording him eonsalationin his
present unhappy lineation. the tinder-Sheriff went for Ike par.
we of catapulting (be wishes of the unfortunate mum on that sub-
ject. when, after a short conversation, he declared his mind
would be much disturbed by such proceedings, and that he only
wished to see the Rev. Mr. Canna. Mr. Baker. Mr. E. Evans,
and his son, a lad about IS years of age. The UndeuSherif
therefore gave positive orders. that no other person should have
acres• to him. tinerlay. at about two o'clock, the Rev. Mr.
Cotton administered the Saerammit to Evans, who was ex-
tremely penitent, and lamented that be should have suffered
himself to be [provoked to so rash and cruel an act. Moos after
this, the Under-Sheriff again visited him. and found him much
comomed. lie then informed him, that his sou bad arrived,
:aid was waiting to see him, and be requested he might be ad-
mitted. A most distressing but affectionate scene ensued. they
rashed into each other's summand were for some minutes so ab-
sorbed in grief and tears as to prevent utterance. When they
bad recovered this ern shock, Evans conversed rationally with
his son, and impressing no his mind the awful situation in which
1w hod placed himself by giving way to passion, warned him
to ,wind the dreadful consequence of similar conduct 1 but when
the time arrived for the departure of his son, Evans was mach
agonised at the separation. A great many applications were
mode by persons stating Memel. es to be relations to the man.
for leave to visit him, but as he bad expressed a desire to be
alone, they were refused.

GOOD THINGS.-It seems that among other good
I things which the Master of Rolls drives from his
office, he is emitted to one ton, or two pipes of
Gascony Wine. to be chosen for his use annually at
Easter by the King's butler, from the best that comes
into the kingdom. Was it from a knowledge'
of this circumstance that Brsu the Lottery Contraztot.
took the idea of procuring 11 pipes of Port Wine
the holders of. certain Blanks, in addition to the
three Prizes of X 30,000 and the nicety-omen other
Capitals ?

ANOTHER LETTER DATED lES. 20.

" On Thursday the Lumbers arrived at Appleby
in order to measa the town. On their arrival, a
few boys were met together near the King" Head
Inn, whom, I believe, these distinguished personages
took for another mob, for they hurried into the inn
with the utmost precipitation. They met with more
than usual success, for they obtained almost one.
!bird of the votes; which hitherto unparalleled good
fortune may be somewhat attributed to the extensive
influence of the Clergy in this part, most of w hocn (as
in duty hound) were in attendance. That august
body, the Corporation of Appleby, was also in
waiting.—l observed that no one cheered them but a
few of the rabble whom they had hired for the par.
prise.—There was a dinner at the King% (lead, whirls
was attended by some of the Committee. Their chief
orator was a Clergyman, whom I saw afterwards
platting his legs around the streets, and haranguing
eve?), one who came in Ida way. Two guineas were
giaeit to each of the Lowther houses for drink ; end
those who were made drunk in consequence filled
the streets, daring the night, with blue vociferation..

Queen's Palace, on Thursday neat.
The rztraordinary preference, which the Public
have given to Wcas's Offices, 9, Corithill, and
17, Ludgate-street, in the present Lottery, is easily
accounted for :—The Scheme contains 'num Ster-
ling Prises of e 30,000, and CAPITALS of this
description are seldom Sold anywhere else ! For
instance— he Lottery drawn in May, 1815, con-
tained Only One Prize of 1330,000, and that was
Sold by V: Ens! The nest Lottery, drawn in Ave. con.
Wised Only One Prize of f 30,000, and that also was
Sold by Wass! The Lottery drawn in May, 1816,
coil:mined Two Prizes of e 30,000, and One of these
was Sold by Wass!—Thus it appears that, sincc
May, 1816. there have been Only Four Money
Prizes of 830,000, and TURES or TUESI WERE
SOLD ST WEBB!! !—Such Plain and Sterling fads
as these, will no doubt bare more weight with the
Public than ariysTuff.

fuse as by was proverbially sparing in all other cases.
Vet it was remarkable that this notable electioneer.
lug manager was never successful when he was vi.
goroosly opposed. It was the fact, indeed, that he
was compelled to compromise in Cumberland, sad
that compromise still continued notwithstanding the
known disposition of his socceuors, who were quite
as willing as Sir James to hold the Electors of b.d, .
Cumberiaed and Westmorland in i state of sot*. •
Linn. But the defeat of their wishes and the relive.
