that a dory would or could fed the agents of the
Society guilty of • conspiracy? Mr. SCAULETT
ought. we think, to have began his speech is a very
different sort of way ; namely, by showing that those
laws and that Constitution which could be bronght
lain contempt by what are called libels on them, can-
not be very well worth defending. It was not a very
likely way to succeed in a prosecution of this sort by
Whiles forth these pers ms called libellers, as merit-
ing, not only ismiehtnest but execration also. Is
short. serer Ira there a speech better calculated to
convince its hearers that the thing complained of by
the Speaker was • most useful, necessary and aserito-
riots thing. The result was what we have seen. As
to the evidence it went to show that the Society bad
prosecuted several persons, but had let them off upon
their agreeing to betrays well for the future, and at
the same time, to pay costs. The most curious part of
the evidence is that of Dolby, who says thatbelsed agreed
to give tip the editor aed proprietor of the pablication.
This, however, does not appear to have been enough;
and the prosecution went on. We do not know who
it was that commenced this prosecution of the So-
qety ; bat we know this, that it was declared by Mr.
§CARLETT, that the persons who had instituted the
promocotien 'galas% the Society, were not persons in-
:screed in the thing; now here is a complete answer
to those who pretend that the Society is illegal ; for,
if so, the prosecutors of the Society hare acted ille-
gally ; and they may be indicted for this proseentioe.
We detest this Society ; this informing, accusing, pro-
secetieg association, and all associations of the same
description, or for the same purpose. But, if there
be any thing more ridiculous, more directly tendiag
to destroy its own purpose, than this indictment fur
conspiracy. it is the late action fur damages at Lan-
caster. These two measures have, we insagiee. shalt
origin in the same quarter. If they he not intended
to assist in upholding the system a little longer. we
really imagine what they hare been intended
~for.
That systim, however, is not to be upheld by tricks
of this sort. Tie New Times of yesterday, talks oft
preparing the minds of its readers " for the great
" questions now pendiog before the Legislature. and
' the momentous cerweequences that may follow the
"adoption of the met:ores La agitation." Yes. this
is the mark. This is a little more interesting than
the hacknied invective. of Mr. SCllll.l7l' ageism
those whom he calls libellers. We have this moment'
received a letter from a landowner is Kent, who boil
made such a reduction of re!ots, as be thought would
enable his tenants to lire ; but in a little while after-
ward., a further and very great reduction was de-
manded by his tenants in consequence of the tythe
having been raised by the Par:•o4 ! So! This pretty
gentleman finding that the landlord had enabled the
tesauts to live by throwing oil rent, whips on upon
them fur an addition to his tythe ! This will, doubt-
less be done, in every case where it is p.ssible to do
it. Large as is the portion of the Pergola, he will be the
last to give up ; and, indeed, it is manifest that the
rent trill go first after the capital of the farmer is
gone; and that the tythe will cling on, till the Go-
vernment abso!utely interfere. Mr. W 's
mo-
(ion will pretty nearly decide the title!. It will do
this ; it will decide the question of prices, for if PEWS
Bill be nut repealed, prices must come down lower
than they now are ; and then, nniess taxes be repeal-
ed, about eighteen months will see the thing pretty
nearly brought to a close. 'rbe measures proposed by
the Agricultural Committee will produce no effect
worthy of attention.

mention that the officers and eon-commissioned offi-
cers alone were coecereed is the exposure tied casti-

vernor that he would institute an immediate inquiry
into the affair.

The disturbances in the mining districts in the county
of Monmouth, to which we alluded in our last, have by
no means ceased. The iron-masters bare in many in-
stances consented to restore the men to their forma
wages; bnt even title has not proved effectual. A veto
extensive combination seems to eels*, which threatens
the most serious consequences, and sets at defiance all
magisterial interference, from the difficulty of procuring
information; such is the terror their threats of ven-
geance have inspired. The pitmen hare, within these
few days, in many instances, given notice in bodies to
their employers to leave them, and in she mean time
they will not work; where this will end it is impossible
to say; but we place every confitltnce in the activity
and humanity of the intelligent magistrates of the
county.—(Bristol Mercury.)
We regret to find that an attempt was made to set
fire to a house belonging to Mr. H. Smith, in Thomas.
street, Chepstow, late on Sunday evening last. A

for the discovery of the inzendiary.—(/bid.)._

morning are far front being satisfactory. Two men
were banged at Norwich on Saturday, for firing a
stack-yard at Dias, a few weeks ago. One of them died
very penitent, but the other was in good spirits and
attempted to justify his conduct. On Friday there
was a great riot at Wrentham, close to the property
of Sir T. Hooch. An express was sent to Norwich
for the Lancets, and their interference dispersed the
assemblage. Mr. Hooch, the Member fur th♦ County,
and the Chairman of the late nest useful Committee
of the Muse of Commons, fur inquiring into the re-
medies for Agricultural Distress, was most fortnnately
present, read the Riot Act himself, and will, on the
Meeting of Parliament, consequently be fully aide to
give a faithful dvscripticre of what be saw and did io
Suffolk. Some Reverend Magistrate* have refused
to grout permission to sums of the Hundreds to meet
together and to discuss the best remedies for their
distress. It is generally thought that the Clergy
would rake themselves more useful by attending to
their spiritual duties, fighting the gond fight, as Mi-
nisters used to do in former times, and leaving bete-
ficial affairs to the guidance of Heatlenten better

The b its at Arundel, and the martello tower at
Bexhill, are ordered to be pulled down without delay.
A range of new houses is about to he erected on the
site of the minor hill adjoining that of Primrose-hill,
facing the Regent's Caual, the foundations of which
are already dug out.
The new barracks in the Regent's Park, have be-
come so defective h.: the pavement giving way. that
the whole of the space between the stables is now un-
dergoing an improvement, by removing the former
pavement. and the earth underneath to the depth of
eighteen inches, which is to be tilled up with broken
stone of hard substance, and strong gravel. After
which the surface will be paved with new Scotch
stone. The stabling, which has also proved alike de-
fective, will undergo a similar alteration.
Change of quarters of the Royal' Horse Guards will
take place on the 25th of next month, when the first
regiment of Life Guards will remove from Knights.
bridge Barracks, to relieve the second regiment at
Windsor Barracks. The Royal Blues will remove
from the Regent's B kite that of Knightsbridge;'
and the second regiment will, on their arrival, take
possasion of the Regent's Barracks, which was first
intended for them.
The French Papers mention an instance of a fe- I
male at Bits le Due, aged 55, who recently fell a vic-
tim to spontaneous combustion of the human body,
wiling, it is said, from au imprudent use of spiritousi
I re.
On Thursday night, about eight o'clock, an alarming
fire suddenly broke out in the range of stabling, the
property of Mr. Knight, near the Infantry Barracks,
Sheet-street, Windsor. In less than half an hour the
whole building was in flames, consisting of eleven sta-
bles, held by different occupiers. The whole of the
horses and carriages were safely removed, except a valu-
able horse and two carts. The poor animal was forgotten
by the neighbours, and, the groom having left an hour
before, perished in the flames. The fire was not effectu-
ally subdued until all the stabling was destroyed, and
sight tenements burned, either completely or in part.
The misery of the inmates of these cottages may be bet
ter conceived than described. A subscription has been
considerately opened for their relief.
On Wednesday last, about half past one o'clock in the
therorsoo, the house of Capt. Hicks, at Trevorneck,
pear St. Columb, Cornwall, was discovered to be on fire;
—but though the inhabitants of that place and neigh.
bonrhood gave the most prompt assistance on the alarm
being given, and the engine kept in the town was quick-
ly brought to the spot., the want of water, and the conti-
ngence of a gale of wind rendered the p of
the house impossible ;—in about two hours the whole
promises wawa heap of ruins. The bowie was the pro.
perty of Richard Vyvyan, Esq. on whose estates this is
the third fire that bas taken place within the last 3 years

We experienced a very severe gale of wind oa Satnr-

that the shipping along our extended coast did not sag.
tain any material injury. During the continuance of
this gale, or rather, storm, a large brig foundered in
Bideford Bay, off elovellv; she was so near the shore,
that the crew could be seen on the deck, but the violveve
of the sea prevented any assistance being given. Two
beds, the staddini tail boom, oars, amt a hinder with
sixteen steps of iron, have been washed on shore, b-it

BOIOHTUY, Aram 13.—0 n Wednesday night, a
smuggling boat, while in the act of running her cargo
between this town and Shoreham, was interrupted in,
her occupation by the officers of the Pteseet:v.• Ser-
vice. who succeeded in seizing the boat and 150
tubs—the crew escaped on shore with about 100 tubs.
The Revenge Officers on this coast are particularly
active. The trade of smogg!ing is sadly cut up, and
so many severe losses have been sustained by i.dren-
tnrera, that this vicious spirit of enterprise is severely
checked, and, in a great measure. destroyed.

PSDESTRIANISII.—Ou Monday last. Mr. George ivy.
sou, the well-known pedestrian. undertoolc the arduous
task of seining 90 miles in 24 successive hours, on half
a mile of ground at the lower end of the race course,
near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Several tents hs4 previ-
ously been erected near the spot, fur the accoinmoilation
' and entertainment of visitors. He commenced his waik
at twelve o'clock on Monday, amidst a large concourse
of spectators, and continued with the greatest persever-
ance through the remainder of that day and night, al-
though the weather was extremely unfavourable, bring
boisterousand tempestuous, with 'showers of rain, de: t,
and hailstones.—Ahout seven in the morning, linvinte
then accomplished about 72 miles, he felt quite conti tent
of 113 final success, and seemed to ca'n fresh vigour as
the morning advanced. During his walking the last
mile, but more particularly the last half mile, when r--
turning to the place of starting, the pressure of an
mense crowd occasioned the loss of several minutes ; Iva
it was not of importance, as he completed the 90th wise
ten minutes within the time limited, to the great gr iti-
fication of an assemblage of perhaps not less than 311,t.101
persons. What makes the present undertaking mare
remarkable is, that the pedestrian is now fifty six years
of age. He accomplished the first sidle in 12 min. 2‘i
sec. and the remaining ones in intervals of time iricreas-
ing from that to 16 and 17 minutes. During the 21
hours lie took eery little refreshment, and the whole of
his rests amounted to only 101 minutes.
On Tuesday last, a pedestrian from the ncielihour-
hood of Andover undertook to run eighteen miles in
two successive hours on Tivyford Down, near Winches-
ter, round a circle of 110 yard. ; he performed his task
in five minutes within the stipul deo time. this only re-
ward was a voluntary subscription from the lookers-on.
Sucerssua, A Path 11,-Nlr. Wright will have com-
pleted this evening 700 miles; he is still labourinw, with
a seven cold, and the weather being so severe for the
last three or four days, has been much against him. Ite
yesterday was trod upon by a person that was wa;k-
ing behind him, which took the skin off his allele, and
caused his leg to swell a little this morning ; he, howls% er,
feels confident of being able to complete his task ; ha
has lost about 14 pounds in weight since his commence-
ment. Betting, 6 and 7to 4 against him.

INFANT /01IND IN TIIC TIIAMES.—The account which
appeared in different papers, last week, of the body of
aninfant having been thrown over Suuthwark•bridge,
was incorrect in many particulars. Tbeoecurrenee took
place not on Tuesday, baton the Sunday afternoon befare,
between 5 and 6 o'ilock. No person was either taken into
custody, nor seen on the occasion ; and the parcel i
which the body of the child was found, fell not into
boat, but into the water. It was perceived by two oa-
tenurn, at Horse-sloe-alley-stairs, to fall from the wes-
tern side of the heir's:P, and being observed to float, t!i-.y
were prompted by curiosity to put off in their wit, icy,
and examine it. It was a brown paper parcel, tied wit't
packthread, and o t being opened, presented, at first, the
sleeve of a woman's gown, turned inside ont. The sheer
being stuffed, the Waterman proceeded to torn out its
contents, and w. re shocked to find the deal body of a
new bore infant, b .tody, wrapt carefully in a Inver of
new flannel. Along with the burly, was a piece or broken
hearth-stone, an empty soda water or blacking bott!.,
piece of iron, about six inches Mug, and a brass cock.
rids strange collection of materials, the first that r•i
to have come to hand, were, most probably, put into the
parcel for the impose of sinking it ; though they failed
of that effect. Notice was immediately given to the Pa-
risk Officers, and, on Tuesday last, an inquest was hell
un the body, at the Dolphin Public-house, Itedcross-
street, Southwark, and the Jury, after hearing evidence,
brought in a verdict—Found Drowl.M.
CIIIIONCIO4 INQUIIIIT.—On Thursday last an inflect
