Yesterday the Grand Jury Ibl the misty of Midditert
hood a tette bill of indietmeht against Franklin alias
Fletcher, fee a misdemeanour in corrupting the stream
of justice aid prejudicing the jury who tried Sir Fran-
cis Burdett, by addressing a letter to each of the
Jury, as if it came from Sir Francis, or some of his po-
litical partisaus, calculated, by the most violent lan-
guage, to inflame the passions of the jury against the
honourable balenet. It perhaps world assist the in-
quiry into this •1 ttipterious" transaction, were the
Courier to inform the public of the means by which
it was enabled to lay a copy of the "private" letter
before its readetu at the time : did the tinnier priatit
Rom a written or a printed copy ? if, from the forget,
who made that copy? When ? Where? and, fro* the
original, in the possession of whom? if from a printed
copy was it a foe-simile of those sent to the jury ► We
have heard that 51 copies were printed for Franklin ;
and as there were only ?4 required for the jury, per-
haps the remainder were reserved for particular friends,
and probably the Cornier among the rest. At all
events, it is to be hoped that Nit' Frames Bartlett
will make this the ground of another application for
a new trial.

DETECTOR.

The Corporation of Olocester Ims voted the freedom
of that city to Mr. Brougham.
The nine incorporated trades of Dundee, at a Meet.
lag en Thursday se'nnight, approved of an address of
congratulation to her Majesty the Queen, on the re-
sult of the late proceedings against her, and another
to the Kiug, praying him to dismiss his present
nisters.
Yesterday a Wardmote of the inhabitants of the
Ward of Cheap was helot at the King's Head Taterts,
hi the Poultry, for the purpose of tilting into eontis
deration the propriety of passing a loyal Address tel
his Majesty. Mr. James moved a resolution to that
effect, anti Mr. Reece moved an Address founded on
the resolution ; but when Mr. Wetherspoon ant Mr.
Gibson brought forward objections to the Address, it
was contended that the matters referred to were irrele-
vant to the object of the meeting, and Mr. Gibson,
Mr. Ledger, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Wetherspoon left the
room amidst much confusion, followed by a number of
other Gentlemen, who declared that discussion was at
an end. The Address, in its original form, was
then carried with only one opponent.
While the inhabitants of Clerkenwell have been en-
gaged in congratulating her Majesty, a few indivi-
duals, it appears, consisting of the junior Church-
warden, who took the chair, his relations, and six or
seven other persons, who had refused their support o
the Queen's Address—met at the Belvedere, in Pen-
tonville, on Tuesday, and resolved upon an Address to
his Majesty, stating their attachment to the constitu-
tion, and deploring the endeavours that are made to
excite disaffection and discontent against the consti-
muted authorities, in Church and State, throughout the
kingdom. This was done so secretly, as to be totally
unknown to the whole parish, until promulgated by a
bill-sticker, on Wednesday morning. A requisition is
now under signature by a great number of the most
respectable inhabitants, calling upon the 'torch-
warden to appoint a day for holding a vestry, in which
an Address may be passed boldly and openly, that the
lowish may nOt be disgraced 6-y presenting cue tillih
as been gut up in so underhanded and secret a men-

ashamed of what they were doing.
The Parochial address of St. Ann West, unanimously
adopted at the public Meeting held November 311,
1010, is, we understand, to be presented to her Ma-
jesty on Monday next, by the Church-Wartlen, H.
Williams, Esq., 'the Overseers, and a number of the
most respectable inhabitant householders. We have
not heard if the Worthy Rector, on whims A vote of
Aimee was passed, accompany's the procession.

twenty persons at the meeting, and among them the
rector, one of his curates. the clerk of the peace for
