his intention of going into business immediately aftet
their marriage. On Tuesday he came as usual, bat
he departed rather abruptly, without taking his lease;

Sir THOMAS TVKTOS expressed his high sense of
the honour they had done him ; but submitted to the

YORK ASSIZES, JULY 22.

PEACE AND OTHER!' V. MILDOURN AND ANOTHER.
This was a Special Jury cause, but none of the
Special Jury, eirppling Sir Francis Lindley Wood,
Bart. hawing attended, the rest were taken from the
Common Jurors.

Sergeant Him!melt stated the facts as they were
afterwards proved in evidence. The Plaintiffs are
hankers in Halton, and 'have a branch of their bank
in Great MillieNl, where Mr. Thomas Hamby was
their agent till August, 1816, when lie died. Mr.
John Ilanthy, a brother of Thomas's, Wes, at the
same time, their clerk in !Walton. &liftman, one
of the Defendants, is a cotton..epinner in Great Drif-
field, and had an account with the bank on his own
credit, and that of Snowball, the other Defendant.
The action was for 6021. Of this sum 313 i. were
refused as'never advanced. in December, 1815, ac-
ceptances by Milbourn. to the amount of 3131. were
sent from Driflield to Melton. John Bamby refused
them, and returned them to his brother, with posi-
tive instructions to advance no more money on Mit.
bourn's credit. His letter to this effect. dated 13th
December, wai produced in evidence. Himself now
swore further, that nest day 111i:bourn's son came to
him with the money, in notes of Maltonalall, &c.
such as they were in the practice of paying. He was
confirmed, by the character of the notes, in his anspi.
don, that his brother had been prevailed upon to ad.
vance the money. The brother's ca,l►•hoek and ledgerq
were prodeced. The former debited Milbnarn 3131.'

Connected, ptobably, with is transaction (if it

Tbe President basing received letters from Washington,
requiring his speedy return, was under the necessity of deferring

LONDON:
TUSSDAT. NAT 19, 10118.

It is a very general opinion in the public offices
end political circles, warranted by the active en-
deavours of Ministers themselves and their sap-
porters, to insure their return, that Parliament
will be dissolved on the 3d or 4th of neat month.

The proceedings in the House of Commons last
night had some carious features of individual as well as
public interest. Notwithstanding the indignation that
his fallen so heavily up Pcnransox, the agent of
Lord Donotas, who is now in Newgate for at-
tempting to bribe a voter, and the speeches
made against the heinous sin of bribery, of which
Lord CASTLEREACIU pretends to be entirely igno-
rant, and which denunciations the incorruptible
Lord as invariably takes care not to hear, the Hen.
House seems now disposed to relei in its severity
towards Mu offender against the Constitution, A
Petition from FERGUSON, praying to be liberated,
was last night presented by (mirabile didu!) Lord
A. Muir-Tow, upon whose notice (according to the
report) it is to be taken into consideration this
evening, when, it may be eapected, Lord CASTLE..
}MAGI( O ill attend and vote in f+•our of the motion.
Flummox's liberation would be a natural couse.
%twice of the dissolution of Parliament, but his of-
/nice is now considered so venial, that be may be
restored to liberty before that time.
'lke Education of the Poor, and the abases in
Chsritahle Institutions came again under the consi-
deration of the HOOP'. Mr. BRoUGHADI made another
able and interesting speech on this subject, in which
be hinted at discoveries of even greater abuses that;
Lave yet been made public, and gave intimation to

custody.
The Prisoner was remanded, and notice sent to the
Solicitor of the Mint.

John Toulmin, a midshipman in the navy, was
yesterday charged by his mother, Mrs. Catharine
Toulmin, of Rotherhithe, .with going to her house
on Saturday night, threatening her life, and, by his
riotous conduct, causing a mob to assemble about her
door.
It was stated by the CoMplainant, that the Poi-
soner is a young man of immoral character and dis-
sipated habits ; and, in consequence of hey having re-
fused to comply with his frequent demands for mo-
ney, he had behaved towards her in the most unduti-
ful and violent manner. She bad borne his conduct
a considerable time with patience; but, unable any
longer to endure it, she felt compelled to 'pp!), to
the Magistrates for protection.
The Prisoner said, that his father when he died
left ample funds to provide handsomely for his fami-
ly ; his brothers and sisters were taken particular
care of by his mother, and he considered that he was
entitled to similar treatment.—Ordered to find sure-
ties to keep the peace.
Wortstue-static.—On Saturday evening, a man
genteelly dressed, passing by the door of Mr. Lynch,
tailor and mercer, in the Curtain-road, observing a
bill in the window for lodgings to let, went to to see
the rooms. Mrs. Lynch showed them to him ;he
approved of them, and agreed about the rent; he
then observed, as be was a stranger, it would be ne-
cessary far him to gire a reference for character, and
requested pen, ink, and paper, for that purpose.—
No ink-stand being in that room, Mrs. Lynch went
into another to procure one; she was quite satisfied
with his appearance, bat recollecting to have read in
a Newspaper that a man was going about under pre-
tence of engaging lodgings, and taking every oppor-
tunity to thieve, she thought it prudent, on her re-
turn, to examine the place, and accordingly did so
whilst he was writing, when she missed ss. 3d. from
th•; mantle-piece; she accused him of taking it, on
which he ran away, but she raised a cry of "Stop
thief," and he was taken, and given into custody of
Gorton, the officer, who, on searching him, foetid
ss. sd. upon his person, and a great number of du-
plicates. He was brought befote.a Magistrate; and
committed till Thursday next.

a merchant, residing itr Cornhill, was paiiing along

starved. M►. Gatbile paid no attention to the man,
until he became so clamorous in his demands, that
he turned round and threatened if he did not desist
following him, he would call a watchman ; upon this,
two men, whom Mr. Gailiffe had previously observ-
ed walking on the opposite side of the way, crossed
rapidly over, and joining the pretended beggar, Mr.
Gatliffe was in an instant knocked down, and before
his alarm would permit him to call for assistance, the
villains rifled his pockets of a gold watch and append-
ages, worth upwards of 70 guineas, together with a
,green silk purse, containing 131. in Batik-notes, a
cbeck for 101., and some silver. They were making
off with their booty, when Mr. Gatliffe called out,
Ind two watchmen with one of the City patrol coin-
ing up, the villains were pursued and overtaken in
Moorfields. Here a desperate battle took place, in
the course of which the two watchmen were beat
Senseless to the ground, and the patrol received a cut
MOM the face, by which he is dreadfully disfigured.
Ose of the watchmen was so severely hurt, that he
seu yesterday considered to be iu some danger. Mr.
atliffe, who is upwards of 60 years of age, has also
been very unwell io consequence of the alarm he es-
perienced. The robbery was the work of a moment,
and so silent as well as dexterous were the villains in
their operation, that the neighbouring watchmen did
not hear the slightest noioe noise until Mr. Gattiffe
called out for assistance.

LONDON:

MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1818

Parliament will meet to.morrevr for the dispatch
of business. The Speech will be delivered by Com-
mission, thoogh the Brighton intelligence intimates
that the PRINCE Kunst continues to enjoy uninter-
rupted good health. A Privy Council was held at
Brighton on Saturday, when his Roy al Highness
gave his approbation to the document styled his
Speech. The continuance of the King's malady,
and the death of the Princess Cnancorre, will be
leading topics in the Speech. The rest will be " pro.
nella." Our Foreign relations will givethe usual scope
for running over the surface of things, from Pole to
Pole, and dilating, like the rest of the unmeaning
speculators, on " the magnitude of oor relations."
But nothing will be ventured beyond generalities.—
On the interesting question of our relations, and the
relations we ought to have, with the new South
American world, we doubt much whether any thing
so explicit will be said as the AffleflCßll PRESIDENT'S
declarations on the subject of his Country's con•
tie:ions with the same quarter. The continuance
of tranquillity among the European Powers, will
afford the usual boasts of the wisdom and effects of

the pacific arrangements; but as to the degree of con-
stitutional freedom and prosperity resulting from these
to the subjects of the respective States, the Reader will
be presented with "a universal blank." The efforts
of the Holy Alliance in all countries to estinguish
the liberty and free spirit of the Press, we can assure
our Readers forms no part of the Royal Speech, and
the defeats of the Ministers in the same holy cause
may be espected to receive as little mention in this
political record. In regard to our domestic concerns
we hear a very consolatory picture is attempted to
be drawn, This is kind, far the nation really stands
in need of consolation. The progressive improve-
ments in oar trade and commerce are dwelt upon
with much satisfaction by the Ministers, but by no•
means proved to their content, or that of any body
else, by the financial statements they have to submit,
showing, in spite of all the surcharges and espedlents
to raise money, a deficiency of from 12 to 14 mil-
lions iu the revenue indispensibly demanded • by the
State. The Retrenchments during the year, or rather
the establishment of Boards for Retrenchment, and
the measures in train for still further compliances with

Cio,—Prom a conviction that your columns hive

nature, I am induced to hand you the following ac-
count of a scene which took place yesterday in St.
GoorwN.msrket, Sooth work, a scene which would
'fovea's/rued a nation of the most ferocious canibals;

Istliev apparently fiends, and the most distressing
bellowing of a poor onolending ox, which they called

treatment, and for want of water, taken from his
tranquil stall or meadows, with worn oat feet,
midst the clatter and din of the streets of the metro-
polis, the joint operation of which would naturally
produce soeb an effect. On getting up to the corner
of a lute 'spate, open to the Peblic, a scene
presented itself which no language can pourtray ;
the thdedd was made fast to a long rope, which had
got tangled round a cart ; the poor beast was at
tI t
k; me pending forth the most horrific bellowings ;
every muscle in its game agonized ; the leaders of
both its hind legs cut, the legs appeard half severed,
and the first joint turned up, leaving the body rest-
ing pertly upon the stump of the second joint. The
writhiog and' agonized struggles of the animal mo-
od the fast of despair and exhaustion; I here expected
to have seen the dodge or the knife put a finish to
this cruel tragedy, but not so : these savage breves
upon two legs applied clogs, bludgeons, and their
limited force of perhaps 50 butchers to the rope, and
partly by dragging and stumping along, for the dis.
Noce of about 150 yards to the slaughter-house, they
ffini.hed what ought to have been done in the early paw
of this disgraceful business. It is for physical iovestiga.,

guilty of such cruel outrages. There appears some.
thing a little extraordinary, that the Legislators of
the greatest civilized nation on the globe, should sit in
grave debate to decide upon the legal length of the
pointed iron with which the bludgeon should be
brined, to goad on the pour over-driven and
Unoffending animals, through the crowded streets
of the vast Metropolis of the British empire, and,
I believe, the only large city known where
