THE STATESMAN.

Court of Justice. Such precisely was the character of
0.. present case. He bad no beaitation in paying that
the witnesses were unworthy of credit--that &Dithers in
particular, was guilty of rank perjury. That individual
was a constable belonging to Bow-street Office, but he
(4r. A.) hoped he would he no longer perinitted to
hold that situation. It was a truly frightful exhibition
to see such a person as &Dithers swearing in a Court of
Justice. It was alarming to thick that in a very few
. days that eery Smithers might place himself on the
table at the Old Bailey, and give evidence, that might
consign unhappy individuals to transportation, nay, even
to death. He trusted that, for the sake of public justice,
in mercy to his Misplay's subjects, that inch persons
would not be permitted to 611 sitnations to which they
were a disgrace. The Learned Gentleman next proceed.
ed to state the prisoner's case at considerable length.
On the night in question be dined at Walham-green, at
the house of Mr. Stocking. On his way home he knock-
ed at the door of Mr. Keelin ; be made a mistake ' • but
Kerlin, vexed at being disturbed, issued out of the
house, and some blows passed. The matter st as adjust-
ed,
or nearly so, when the prosecutor and &Dithers
came up. They used the prisoner in the most abusive
manner; they dragged him to what they called the cage
—a wretched email room,* here he was obliged to re-
mein all night. Such was the violence done to his per-
soy, that he found it necessary to call in a surgeon.
Young Mr. Stocking and other respectable gentlemen
who> were present, offered to be answerable for his ap-
pearance but they refused to let him go at large for the
night. in the mean time the preweentor arranged his
plan, Intoning that his evidence and that of &Dithers
would be contradicted by the gentlemen who were pre-
sent, snel who had witnessed and reprobated their con-
duct. They had the audacity to prefer an indictment
'elitist the nhole party for no other purpose than to
disqualify them from giving evidence.
The Learned Counsel called Mr. Stocking, jun. ; be
was examined at very considerable length, when
The Foreman of the Jury intimated to the Court that
the minds of the Jury were sati.fied—and they instantly
returned a millet of—Not Guilty.

CORK DISTILLERIES.
Conn, Ocr. It —We have learned, with surprise
and regret, that some arrangements of a novel nattier
are contemplated by proper Authoritiea, calculated at
this moment to effect, in no inconsiderable way, the in-
teretds of this part of Ireland through the Ditilleries.
The Establishments of this description in the City of
Cork, form too prominent a part in its commercial inter-
rid% and are too intimately connected with the agricul-
tural prosperity of the South of Ireland, for us to pass
in silence say regulation which may affect their united
welfare. It is neither our duty or inclination to offer
an opinion upon the system which would, at this mo-
ment, connteract the employment of large capitals in
the consumption of the produce of the country—we
Presume the intended regulation proposed to the Distil-
lers, must have received previous and well-digested con-
sideration; but it is evident, from the result, that it eon.
tains some reetrietiows altogether inadmissible for the
Body it was intended to g , otherwise, after very
expensive: preparations for going to work, they would
not s,.idenly abandon their intention, and permit their
capitals and large establishments to remain unproduc-
tive. We and d that, already, the number of work-
ing people discharged from the I houses, is of con-
siderable amount ; whose families will have to deplore,
probably, during the winter season, the want of means
whirh they had hitherto derived from three sources of
extensive and profitable employment.—Cork Chro-
nicle.

CORK, OCT. 17.—The sensation predated Is this city
he the determination of the DietiNtoi sot ta work, has
been great, and the effect already ((open the prises of
that description of agricultural proalate which requires
to he upheld, in order to save the landholder from utter
rein) extremely injurious.
An explanation of the causes which have let' to such
consequences, will naturally be looked for.
The Board of Excise in Dublin have thought it right
to institute an inquiry here into the conduct of the De-
ver. ['lent ; and, for this purpose, have acted on a law
which empowers them to summon any persons whatever
before them, to give answers on oath to any questions
they may think proper to ask, under a penalty of 101.
for every refusal. The Distillers, on being required to
name their book keepers and confidential clerks, whose
evidence was required, considering the consequences of
suet, persons being thus compelled to divulge the secrets
cf their employers, their losses or profits, and to betray
the trust reposed in them, came to the determination of
not working their Distilleries, in order not to be ame-
nable to a law so repugnant to every principleof British
justice. Tribunals like this, iovested with the power of
citing persons before it, who shall be compelled, under
Leavy forf, Lott, s, to answer questions, which may or
rosy not involve their persons, and injore their proper-
ties. ere utterly inconsistent with, anti subversive of the
spirit of the British Constitution, and resemble the in-
stitutions of countries which, we hoped, would never
atipp!y examples to our own ; or, at least, that we would
. nut imitate what was bad in them.
The Military parties encamped at Kilbrin, Freemoont,
and hillevoulan, County Cork, are this week ordered
into hesd-quarters. Government have directed that
temporary listracks should be forthwith erected in the
most disturbed parts.
On the conduct of the Excise the Dublin Evening
Post remarks—" It only w• :rated this to drive the grow-
ers of barley to despair. We imagined that they could
not be much worse otf than the late prices had left them;
but we were, it iteeniS, in error. They cannot sell their
grain at all! The Lords of the Treasury will no doubt
/Air their case into consideration, and issue orders ac-
cordingiy."
I sten PROSPERITV.—Three distilleries in Cork, which
were to have commenced working on Monday. have
served notices that they do not intend to go on.—(Free-
Journal.)

EXETER.—in May last, the child of Mr. Pion, aged
two months, and which had been baptized in a Media
dist chapel, its parents being dissenters, died ; application
.ins 11344 e to the clergyman to bury it,—lie hesitated
ronsiderably to perform bit duty, and doubted " Mae.
tiler he had any right to bury it," stating as his reason,
" that the child had not been baptised according to the
rites of the enure,' of England.' At last he consented,
hut with the proviso that the corpse should not be taken
into church ; the child was accordingly buried. On
'll'useiolay week last, another child of Mr. Pinn, and twin
sister of the above infant, died. Application to bnry it
was made to the clergyman through the clerk of the
parish. The reply we., that the parson bad said, "be
would not bury the child as it had not been christened
in the clinrch, and that he had been laughed at fur
burying the other." The father then hastened to Exe-
ter vith an intention of waiting on the Bishop to obtain
redress from hint ; but his lordship was inaccessible.
This plan failing, lie bad resource to legal measures,
and a letter to the clergyman, from a solicitor of this
city, threatening prosecution if he did nut bury the
child without fur her delay, brought him to his souses.
lie said " it was owing to a mistake that he had refused,
a■ his clerk told him that the child had never been hap•
tired!" The child was buried on Tuesday last, after

In consetinence of the Columbian document, which
appeared in the papers of this morning, a g I panic
took place in the Colombian Bonds, and a fall of 4 per
cent. in the above, took place. Nevertheless.itis thought as
certain, by the first Brokers on 'Change, wbo have been
to examine the Columbian contract, at Messrs. Powles,
that it isa bonafide good one, and the signature is, un-
doubtedly, that of Bolivar. It is also ascertained, that
the Columbian document must have been published be-
fore the above Government knew of the Loan being
contracted for in London, sod it is still further ion-
glued, that the whole is a mantenvre, to depreciate the
Columbian Stock, of which, it is snppoted, that in a

Paris papers, which have reached as to the 20th inst.
contain little respecting Spain, but rumours, ►nd those,
as usual, contradictory. According to the Quotideensie,
" Mina has been arrested by his own officers andsoldiers,
after an affair which he bad fought with the loyalists,
and has been conducted to Pampelona, under a charge
of cowardice and incapacity." His army is also repre.
seated as having been completely "dislocated," and the
insurrection is said to have extended to Galicia, and to
have placed Coruna& in the possession of the Royalists.
On the other hand, it is reported that p 1 Mina
Lad completely routed the forces of Bacon. d'Erolles,
who bad taken refuge at Ay, to France, with •
very small comber of officers of his Staff.—The
intelligence relative to Greece in these Papers is satin
factory. The real issue of the last Turkish enterprise
against the Mores bad at last become generally known.
An article from Smile, dated the Ist instant, states that
Chourschid Pacha, was still on the 17th ultimo at Ter-
nova, with only three thousand men, and seeking for
reinforcements which be could not obtain. Odysseus
still guarded the passes of the Thermopylee, and the port
of Alamon ; anti the Pacha of Belgrade had received a
ICourier with despatches, " which left no doubt of the
fatal issue of the Ottoman expedition to the Mores."—
On the other hand, the surrender of SUli, which had
been contradicted by the pres•ious arrivals, is once more
asserted to have taken place. Famine is said to have
forced the Suliotes to capitulate on the 12th of Septem-
ber; and it is added that by the terms of the capitula-
tion, 2000 of them (warriors, not women, as it had been
originally mentioned), were to be conveyed in British
vessels to the Mores. By the possession of Soli the
Turks would gain additional means for maintaining,
their footing in Epirus, hut nothing to redeem the
lows which theyhave experienced id thePeloponnesna,
in Livadia and Tbessaly. An article of the 41st ■lt.
from Bucharest, says, that when Lord Si raugford passed
through that city on his way to Vienna, he expressed his
surprise at finding that Wallachia was still occupied by

Turkish troops, after the repeated asluiances which he
had received from the Divan of the dose fide (mama.
Goo of both Principalities. The Journal des Debate
contaios a letter from the Ecclesiastic who attended
0 1 Berton in his prison and on the scaffold, in
which be declare, that instead of repelling the conso-
lations of Religion. Berton welcomed them ; that the
the expression attributed to him (" leave me alone ")
w•as uttered, and that that unfortunate man performed
all his religious duties before he quitted his cell to go to
execution. Achilles Murat, the eldest son of the late
King of Naples, is stated to have obtained from the Ans.
tri►n Government a passport for America; he will go di-
rect from Vienna to Hamburg. The Journal des De-
bats states, in a letter from Piedmont, that a great num.
her of persons of distinction have arrived at Verona.—
The Duke and Duchess of Calabria, and the Kiog of
Bavaria, were expected to be present at the Congress.—
On the lath, the King of France, so far from being ill,

tertain at dinner the Dutchess of Berri.

Prom the notice which appeared io our paper of yes.
terday, oar readers will perceive that the Norfolk and
Norwich Ptrr Mom has been revived, after a lapse
of two years. This is a time to revive Pm. Menus!
Mr. Ptres reign hai been the ruin of England. Ha it
was, who, with a more subtile and base hand than that of
Walpole, undermined the liberties of this country; and
us, it was, with a profligacy of EXPINDITURS,
u mpled in all other nations and ages, laid
a debt on this country, with which it is tottering to
itsgrave. Mr. Wormootraz, M.P., was in the Chair.
That Gentleman, if we understood the report of his
pepeech, endeavoured to persuade the company] that Mr.
PITT would not have suffered the land-owners, and their
tenantry, to come to the distress they 'rein, if he had lived.
Mr. PITT could have done nothing to save or relieve the
landowner, and landholder, had he been living, and in
the plenitude of his power, but by a most rigid economy;
and was he the man to practice xcorrony ? We do not
wish the country, •r other gentlemen, who meet
to dime in Parr's Woe, we do not wish to see
them profane or wicked. But, if they were to
meet to curie Mr. Ptrr's memory, they would not
do so foolish a 'thing as they do now, though they
would do a thing less innocent. That the CONTRACTORS,
and LOAN J , and such like men, who were en-
riched by PITT'S system, almost to surfeiting, should
dine and praise Purr with his nremonr, is not *uprising.
—Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, and a few more turtle.
eating citizens, may aptly 'sough name Pyrr, as
their Madeira, or Champaign, pass down. But what
have the Country Gentlemen, what have the Land Own.
ern, and what their Tenantry, to do with Mr. PITT, or
his Maxon; except to execrate both the one and the
other? But, we understand the thing. The humbug
memory is kept up, le preserve the spirit which din.

has plunged this country into ruin. Bet it won't do.
Even good dinners, with plenty et good wine, can now
hardly bring. or bold together, a few dozen of PITT'S
RCMCNIImiNSerS. Mr. WODEROUSE, we dare say, look.
ed sorrowfully enough in the chair, the other day; and
it is quite plain, he did not know what to say or think.
We wish him, and all such gentlemen, to consider well,
before they go to smother PITT Dinner, whether it might
not be wiser and better for them to go to a literonn

duced them from OPULSNT LANDLORDS to Manor

STATI or lIILAND.—With the exception of the de-
plorable condition to which the Pairs have redneed the
farmers, and the want of rents the owners land, the last
papers from the country do not happily supply us with
an account of any recent outrages in the south or west.
The King's counsel are sitting as chairmen of the Special
Sessions under the Insurrection Act, at Limerick, Cork,
and Kilkenny; but there was scarcely any business
done. The military parties stationed in different pasts
of the County Cork, have been called to bead-quarters.
Temporary barracks are to be erected in the most dis-
turbed districts; and, as far as the number of the soldiers
will allow it, this and the adjoining counties will be sub-
jected to military occupation.—We are almost tired with
repesong that this is a state of things that can-
not possibly continue for another year. This
opinion appears, at length, to become general.—
But, while the thing was going on, while Taxes,
Tithes and Rents were paid, the mining mischief was
not regarded.—Every one who pointed out its workings
was considered a marked tnea—an enemy to our glo-
rious Constitution in Church and State. lint empty
pockets are wonderful Kelitemers. Them are no Rents
to be had, and the Irish Proprietors have discovered
that something must be done for Ireland. never recol-
lecting that what has been hitherto done in the manage-
mem of Irish affairs, has been done for their interest,
and in a great measure at their suggestion. It is noto-
rious, that, while they obtained their rents freely, they
regarded the Peasantry as grass, upon which they might
tread at pleasure. A crisis has come tibial they
never contemplated, but a Ida every man of sense fore-
saw. They have done nothing for the country, and
they have left themselves without the capacity of doing
any thing effectual. Too deeply engaged in cultivating
their own personal interests—in cultivating the +Wird-
nistrstien for jobs or for places, they left Ireland without
any representative of her interests or her wants in the
Imperial Parliament. Had these representatives looked
a little more to their country, and little less to their own
immediate and selfish views, the country would not have
retrograded so rapidly since the Union.—With the re.
sources and-fertility of Ireland, it is impossible. bad the
Irish Peers and Members of the Hoose of Commons la-
boured for her prosperity, that she would be in the situ-
ation in which we now behold her.—We leave the Union
out of the question; but, we should he glad to be in-
formed, in what has it benefitted Ireland ? It was to
effect wonders; has it effected any thing ? Did it give
entaacipation to the Catholics ? Did it Five death to the
Corporations, these pests of Ireland? Did it crush the
