....A4IESTER COMMISSION, M.ir 26.
Thtecharges having been read and a few preliminaries
agreed on, Mr. Hunt called J. Phillips, Esq. of !Houtz-
cete,ene of the Magistrates of the county, as his first
wittiest, who stated that be had always considered the
gaoler's occurrence book to be a diary of what takes
N
lace is the jail ; the missies therein of occurrences
the
to
entered for the purpose of esabling
visirteiVaM other Magistrates to know what bad passed
from time to time is the jail. Witness thee proceeded
1 have examined this book lately more than usual,
my attention having been called to it frequently during
a late investigation before the Magistrates, and 1 cer-
%MeV have discovered very many interlineations, or
tither ieteepolatiens, which, in my opinion, on an ex-
ansisation, speak for themselves. There was an obvious
interlineation, noting the discharge of Ann Denman on
the 24th October, the day on which her sentence ex-
piled : my attention was called to this in consequence
of the woman herself having sworn that she was hot
discharged until three days afterwards. [Here the wit-
ness pointed oat areat many inteilineations to the
_g
commissioners.] Witness proceeded, that sometimes
he bad been a visiting Magistrate, and that if the jailer's
occurrence book were banded to him, be should certainly
expect to find the entries regularly entered as the circus-
stances eteurred. He bad been a visiting Magistrate
about eight years, during which time, until within six
weeks, be bad so idea that there were any stocks in the
jail ; that it bad never come to his knowledge that as,
prisoners who had misbehaved themselves were put in
irons, handcuffed, or chained, or had blisters applied as
punishments ; but that the extent of the punishment
amounted only to solitary confinement. He disclaimed
even having given such orders himself, and was sot aware
that any bed ever been made by his brother Magistrates.
He had lately, io the former investigation, sees the stock
for the women, and also those for boys. for the first to
mes
(Here the &Medias of the witness was called by the tio-
vereor's Solicitor to the Magistrates' journal, which
contained an order signed by himself.) Witnesspro-
ceeded:—" Here is an order signed by myself, which 1
will very readily read. I find Tmade an order, May 18,
1820., to have an unruly boy confined by the leg ; but 1
bad no knowledge whatever at the time of there being
any stocks in the jail. Those which 1 bare lately seen
called the boys' stocks, I consider to be very dangerous,
and 1 certainly should not have ordered boys to be placed
therein ; and 1 should consider a boy put to stand at his
work from 8 till 1 o'clock, and from 2 till 6, would be a
rem- severe corporeal punishment."
Mrs. E. Davis was the next witness, who deposed, that
she was the matron—that she had a woman under her
care, named Sarah Hewitt, who is the mother of a child
burn in the jail; that she was present when Hewitt
sieved a Petition to the King, for a pardon, in Mr.
Heat's Ward, and who read over the same to her, and
explained the same previously to her affixing her mark,
and in which Petition she had expressly stated that Mr.
Bridle, the (Weenier of the ail, was the father.
The Court here inter and wished to have the fact
from Sarah Hewitt herself, as she was still in the jail ;
and she was immediately sent for. Mr. White, a soli-
sitar of eminence, submitted on the part of Mr. Bridle,
eh jailer, that she was not competent to be sworn, inas-
much slie was then *convict under sentence of transpor-
tette° the Commissioners stated they were sitting
of inquiry, and that they had power to ex-
Irisot.ers on oath. Sarah Hewitt was called in
ined. She deposed that she had been in the
1 years; that she became pregnant in the jail,
'wo years after she had been there she was
a femme child; that in a late investigation
lilistrates she was not on her oath, and
state the father of the child was the tiovernor,
but that inch statement was untrue; that she
_a agitated et the time she did so ; she was sorry
having made sods a mistake; and she now de-
''. tieorge Bridle, the brother of the Jailer,
t the time a turnkey, to be the father of the
being questioned whether she bad not had
,vale conferences with Mr. Bridle, the jailer, in
'is's, thp matron's, kitchen, during the late in-
In and after she bad stated her master, Mr.
I'm the father, she replied in the negative. Mrs.
matron, was then called in again, and stated
Bridle, the jailer, and Sarah Hewitt, bad bads
interview in her kitchen, where they remained
about a quarter of an hour; that since the last,
before the present inquiry, she observed a female
• (Anne Conti) of the same ward as Hewitt, de-
parcel into the hands of Mrs. Cox, the sister of the
• he women came through the passage of the jailer's
lat she, as mitron, always bad the examination
ters which might be written by the female pri-
Niels made her observe this transaction more at-
avely than she otherwise would.
Charlotte Scott, a female prisoner, sentenced to 14
transportation, was then examined, who stated
,as she passed through the jailer's ge in
morning, was humming a tune to herself, at
toe the jailer made an inquiry rho it was that
, and, on being informed it was the witness, called
towards him, he standing in the passage and she in
in, it being hard rain at the time ; that the jailer
Ner to be locked up in solitary . confinement,
asked his forgiveness and promised never to
again; that the jailer replied—" A girl who is
such ad— heavy sentence ought to have
better :" that a turnkey then took her through
► to a solitary refrac•ory cell; she was very
the time, and shortly afterwards the turnkey
t her seine bedclothes, which were damp by being
through the rain, and said—" Here is some
. fur you quite smoking hot." There was no fire
cell, and she remained there from the Saturday
• Monday, when Mr. Phillips, the Magistrate,
the cell and ordered her unt of confinement;
I was not released until the Tuesday. Mr.
told the Magistrate that witness was put
for having accommodated him with a song I
her food was not brought to her by the matron ;
- the turnkey who locked up at night and un-
in the morning ; Coat ever since she bad been so
up she has at times felt very severe rheumatic
On her cross examination she stated she was
sure that the jailer said'" d— heavy sentence;"
t the summer she is free from the rheumatism, but
in the winter. The magistrates' journal and the
s occurrence book both stated that she was released
her confinement on the Monday.
SECOND DAY, NAY 45.
Richard Pike, the turnkey, was called in and sworn,
examined by Mr. Hunt. Witness stated that be had
formerly been a turnkey at the debtor's ward, hut was
- turnkey at the lodge or entrance into the jail.

LONDON:
ATURDAT ZWZNING, JVNL 2, 1821.
Paris papers to Thursday arrived this morning
The French Chamber of Deputies was occupied on
Tuesday with the continuation of an uninteresting
debate on a projet of law relative to the claims of
persons to pensions.
The King of Prussia is expected to set out on a
visit to the baths of Tceplitz on the 15th lest.
The port of Smyrna, according to letters from that
place of the 2fith of April, is a prey to the most lively
alarms. All the Greeks have suddenly taken refuge in
the mountains. The Turks, alarmed, have, according to
their custom, set fire to the Grand Bazaar of the Jews.
This edifice has been burning these two days. The
Franks and all the Europeans, with their most valuable
effects, have sought shelter on board the vessels.
Letters from Constantinople, dated April 26, state that
a corps of 5,000 Janizaries last night commenced their
march for (Varna, in Bessarabia. They em-
barked at Tophana. In ascending the Bospho-
rus these barbarians burnt and pillaged, without dis-
tinction, houses belonging to Turks and Greeks. They
plundered the palace of the Spanish embassy, and two
Spaniards lost their lives. M. Souton, councillor of
the Russian embassy, only saved his mansion by throw-
ing handfuls of gold from the windows. The Russian
flag, which floated over the hotel of the embassy, is
pierced with balls.
In an extract of a private letter from Zante, April 25,
the writer says, by vessels from Patna' we learn that a
detachment of about 500 Toils, from Lepanto. disem-
barked in the night of the 15th in a bay, about a quar-
ter of a league from the city. This troop, marched
under the cover of night, were not perceived by the in-
surgents till they approached the suburb of Vlatero.—
The consternation then became general ; all fled; and
the result would bar been fatal to the Greeks, but for the
imprudence of some Janizaries who began setting fire to
the houses. The light of the flames having discovered
the insignificant number of the Turks, the Greeks re-
sumed courage, fell upon, and destroyed nearly half of
than. The remainder gained the castle, where the
Turks of the city still hold out."

The King of Naples returned se his capital oh the '
15th ult., and, according to the French papers, amidst
the acclamations of the people. He has issued a !Procla-
mation in which he states that " the &amities and
crimes which had taken place are numerate and grave."
and hints that they will not be overlooked; bat " that no
personal resentment has had, nor will ever have any
share in his decisions." The different branches of the
legislation and administration are to be re-elfganteelit
with which view a Council is to be nominated. The
fundamental laws which will be established in this
Council, are designed it appears to obliterate the re-
membrance of chimerical projects, and give the faithful
subjects consolation ; but it is expressly intimated that
the peaceable enjoyment and permanency of their Mess-
ings can only "he guaranteed by au inviolable attach-
ment to the rights of legitimate Sovereignty, ihsd
the rigorous maintenance of order, and the Oft 01
things legally established."
From Lisbon account-, have been received which relate
chiefly to the decrees and debates of the Cortes es sub-
jects of local interest. A decree has passed terabit-
lag the importation of grain and pulse into Portugal.—
The importation of All foreign coru,fiour, bread, awl pulse,
is entirely prohibited by land, and by sea, except in the
ports of Lisbon and Oporto. The Regency, however, in
cases of urgent necessity, may suspend this prohibition,
and the ina port atic n of foreign whist le specifically autho-
rised when the price of that of native growth is, at Lis-
bon, 800 teas, and at Oporto 1,000 rest per aliffiere.
The Cortes have before them a projet of a law relating to
the liberty of the press. In the case of exciting the peo-
ple to rebellion by inflammatory writings, it is &Added
that the penalty should be, deprivation of office Imii dig-
nity, five years' imprisonment, and 600 mitres& 1s as
the maximum.

The CHANCELLOR of the EN.LHEQUIIR last night
brought forward the Budget, and on that oecasiee
gave, as usual, a very favourable representation of the
Finances of the country. About two years ago, when
he required a loan, be took occasion to state, if we re-
member right, that, after that, no loan or tax would
be necessary. Now, however, be.finds it necessary
to raise another loan; not indeed from private monied
men, but from the Commissioners of the Sinking
Fund. To provide for the deficiency of mesas to
meet the year's expenditure. 12,500001. is to
be taken from the Sinking Fund'. of (eat
Britain, and 500,0001. from that of` Irelsad..--
Since money must at any rate be bad, we think that,
as the country has arrived at the sepias nibs of tax-
ation, it is better to be taken from that seam than
from any other. The Sinking Fund bas proved it-
self a mere delusion, and has now but few sod faint
defenders. We have on various occasions expressed
our wish that it might be made to relieve the Radon
of some of its berthas's : but it seems to bq retained
on purpose to relieve the CHANCULLOS die gums-
Quilt out of his difficulties. It may be to blit • very
convenient resource ; bat it is is the public a very ea
pensive expedient.

A fraud eetartaintneat is prepanug by the Lord
Mayor for her Majesty on Saturday next, at the Wan-
ship Houk. According to etiquette the Queen will
mad s list of the eisapaay whom eh* desires to have

One of the brother* of the Messrs. Rothschild who
is now at Naples, has riscoatly °biased the title of
Marquess from his Sicilian Majesty.--(Monitestr.)
POrtIIATION or Batowron.=-The result of the
census taken on Monday last, at Brightob, states the
number of inhabitants, exclusive of the military at
24,429. The fed ales exceed the males, in number,
2,391. In the year 1811 the population of that town
was, according to the muses then taken, 12,012 ; and
in 1801 only 7514.
Causes or TOE Tows or Lawas.—The total
number of inhabitants amounts to B,ooo,thus proving
Lewes to be the most populous town in Susie:
with the *sceptic's of Brighton ; Chichester falling a
few short of the above number.
BRIGHTON, JuNs I.—The corn-fields in general
had bone a very sickly appearance ; but the change
of weather, within these few dare, has operated much
in their favour, and the wheat in particular is fast
recovering.
The bops in the neighbourhood of Uckfield, Frain-
field, Busted, &c. have suffered much from the late
severe weather. In many instances their colour is
completely changed, exhibiting a very striking proof
of the severe frosts at this season of the year.
Trot BoltawsX ELoresIZST.--We are much pleased
to observe that a reconciliation has taken place be-
tween the young lady who eloped from Horsham, and
her highly respectable parents.—( Brightoa Herald.)
THI Quails's BIRTH DAT.—On the birth-day of her
Majesty, the Courts of Common Pleas and Exchequer
assembled in the costume of ordinary days. The big-
wigs were, however, observed to be holding consulta-
tion together as soon as they met, as if the heeds were
agitated with some moot point which it was difficult
to decide. In a short time intelligence reached them
that the Court of King's Bench bad acknowledged the
occasion with all the outward homage of dress ; and
immediately a retirement was moved, and the Courts
rootasembled, attired in their scarlet robes as on the
King's birth-lay.
Mr. Patmore, who stands charged with being con-
cerned in the murder of Mr. Scott, in a duel at Chalk
Farm, has given notice that he will surrender himself,
to take Isis trial at the next Old Bailey Sessions, which
begin on Wednesday.
Part of our impression yesterday having been
worked off before we received a Report of the Judg-
ment of the Court of King's Bench on Major Cart-
wright, Lc., we take occasion here to state the sen-
tences:—
To be imprisoned in Warwick Jail—Edmonds nine
months ; tVookr, fifteen months ; and Nladdocks,
eighteen months. At the end of that period to enter
into sureties for five years, in 4001. each, and two
others for each defendant of 1001.
Major Cartwright to pay a fine of 1001. to the King,
old be imprisoned till paid. The Major instantly
rid it and retired.
The Dalmaboy troop of yeomanry. cavalry assembled
eel Selew Moor, on Friday the 18th Instant, and after-
wards marched WANK' quarters. At • dinner given
time, and after the cloth was removed, they ;presented
Jobe Inglis, Esq. of It l
oth theirCaptaio, with a punch
bowl, having a suitable inscription. On this occasion
Sergeant Bauchop delivered an address to the Captain, in
which be observed," To you, Sir, it may occasion some sur-
-1
prise that you are presented with a bowl instead of a sword:
but the to of the country will explain it : For swords.i
it is bop , we shall have Ito employment is this
Countryalong period; but, on the contrary,
n our wish
is, that they may all become rusty as old ails,
bleat as plough-shares." The address was received in
the most handsome and grateful manlier by the Captain,
who made a full and suitable reply.
The Marsh, —, from London to Grenada, ran on
shore near Carriacon, early in April, and it was
-feared
would be totally lost. o
Nam, A eat t. 17.—The French squadron has takes
off St. Bartholomew's an armed ship, of 18 guns, fitted
out at that island, and sent her to Martinique ; and Cow
modore Jollie, in a brig under the Venezuela flag, was
near being captured by them. A sloop has arrived this
morning from St. Bartholomew's, and brings advise
that six vessels, some of them large schooners, hadag:
in there laden with wine, Havannah sugars, ice.
out ofvessels which have been carried into Saba by It
piratic%l brig, which was off St. Bartholomew's, full of
prise good. Piatical cruisers are very numerous elf
Porto Ricos: andr they board and plunder every tweed
they fall in with.
ORNaiiiki. Riot rvmon or Taxes.—The necessity sad
expediency of striking off a portion of the National
MeV is very ably argued in the Pamphleteer, No. 31161
just published—by which it is proved that the injury to
the public Creditor will be very little felt. The subject
is expected to be brought under consideration during
this Session of Parliament. In the came No. are pub
lished Bowles' Letters to Lord Byron ; B. Beßellioat on 11
the Criminal Code; Corner° on Longevity; with
Gomel other ',tire pamphlets.—(Vide Advertisement.)
CIIARG ES OF MURDER.—CORONERS' INQUEST.
Yesterday an Inquisition was taken in Chapel-street.
West:piaster. on the body of Margaret Macdonald, whose 1
death was caused by a wooed in her head, billeted by her
husband. As we had before stated, the husband had bed&
an oMeer in the Army. from which be had been discharged,
and had eight chlldree. Ile was addicted to liquor.
which caused him to be very passionate. It appeared
b the evidence. that on Saturday last he went to the
George and Dull public-house in St. Anne-street, and having
celled for a quart of ale, sent for his with to partake of
it. The deceased aecordiagly came, and some eonversation
ensued between them relative to their daughters, use a
whom is seventeen. and the other fifteen years old. There
were another men and woman In eompany, to whom the
deceased said, •• Mr. Macdonald don't mind how my daugh-
ters get money, so as they get Macdonald

band, and he instantly threw a glass of ale at her ; after which
they departed. One of the daughters had previously ar-
rived at the public-house. In her examination she stated,
that she went there for the purpose of bringing her mother
away, sad she also asked her father to some home; on
which one of the persons preseet aid that if his daughter
attempted to come after him to a public-hoes' he would • kill
her. Whims added that her father and mother had then a

MAXWELL SLAVE REMOVAL BILL.
Mr. J. P. GRANT moved the second reading of this
Bill. In allusion to what bad passed when the 'shiest
was last before the House, he begged to assure them
that he would not yield to any one who might lif
him in liis attachment to all the principles oyes
the abolition of the detestable practice of slats tmeW
had been established by the Legislature of tlikarmoy:
and he asserted, in the mostsoletwa manner Whelks^
that if the Bill tended in the meet remote degree to the
detrimerft of the slaves, with respect to whisk mite
operate, be would net be the advocate of it
ch 4d
would be be the advocate of corm measure which met*
interfere with the great principl of tbe sieve trek am
lidos. This Bill was an individual one, founde4 le a
nal
particular case not likely to recur, and if he iota slew
that there were grenade Seethe measure, amooodatiri
to necessity, be did net know what answer be
made to biro. lie could consieutionsly state that this
Bill would, in its operation, tend to better the
of the slaves *ho were to be removed sof. I*.
facts of the case wire, that this Gentleman (lb; •
well) possessed an estate called Richmond
is
the island of Antigua, which bad failed to prodigy
many years put sufficient to pay the esqlfintlis et
cultivating it. He bad paid for many yeers
past large sours of money out of his pocket for the
maintenance of the slaves on the estate, and that
cireumstasce, joined with the unproductiveness of the
estate from natural causes, was the ground of this
Gentleman's asking a dispensation from the law which
forbid him to transport a gang of slaves in a body
from an island to a continent. From the care he had
taken of his slaves their numbers had greatly increased;
and as a proof of the humanity of this Destinies,
not a negro had been imported into the island it the
last 60 years ; and it would be impossible for him to
go on supporting 329 slaves, whose work did Dot re-
duce the value of their keep. They had been is the
possession of his family and himself for a long series
of years, and it would be a most cruel end phalli
thing to separate them by selling them for the me a
other islands. His wish, therefore, was to be slimed
to remove them all as one family to Demerara, wlish
being part of the continent of South America, c
net now legally be done. if the House allowed WS
to go into a Committee on the Bill, they would tie
be able to prove satisfactorily the preamble of the
Bill, and to spew the purity of Mr. Maxwell's egotism
If these should be suspected, it would be comrage.l
to any one in the Committee to propose such Miele*
lions with respect to his treatment of his slam, at
should elkctually guard against the possibility of Ws
abusing his trust, and indeed, Mr. Maxwell was me/
to bind himself to many things having * alma le
dency to ameliorate their condition. He was seat
that exception would be taken to the masers m a
precedent ; but, lie apprehended that was a gram'
of objection which could not be maintained, as
woe
this
Bill was founded on particular grounds, which
not likely to occur in any future case. He
traded
the House would grant the wish of a bey.
voltet wan, who, when be was a Member of that
House, was the constant supporter of the abolition of
the Slave Trade.
Mr. LIOULBURN said, be felt it Isis duty to er
pose the Bill in its present staie. He confeseed• as
the same time, that he thought the gentle n o
mar
