isorairy it was ascertained that they were made
the Saturday before by a Mr. Osborn, at Mr. Eveleth's
for Amos Foster, to be used by himself, as be

sad fully committed for trial at the October
Tao of the Supreme Court. David Ashby was also
arrests examined, and fully committed for trial at
'taupe time, it appearing in evidence before the
miglotsase that Ashby bad applied on Friday at Mr.

robot/ hem Foster those that Mr. Osborn had made
fiw hiao—and that the father of the prisoner had been
at Asiby's house on Friday and Saturday. Ashby,
abet eider examination, stated that he had received
from Faster the same hammer and drills found in the
prison of Clark, that he bad given Foster, to pay for

them in his barn, from which they had been stolen.
When Mr. Brown made some observations to the
lad on this attempt, he replied, " You cannot blame

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

The Funds hare had a rally this morning, aid that
withont any particular reason except a few pur-
chasers. Consols which left off yesterday at
;a have been done at 77g. They are now shoat
this price, sellers.

In the Hesse °Mord, last night the Earl of DARN-
L'T moved a series of resolutions, relative to certain
transactions connected with the Stationery Office In
Irelan I ; but on the understanding that the matter
was in a course of investigation, his Lordship declined
pressing his motion. In the House of Commons, only
thirteen or fourteen Members having assembled at
four o'clock, an adjournment of course took place till
to-morrow. Whether the Honourable Members who
the day before had extorted from the Ministers the re-
peal of the Agricultural Horse Tax, were seeking lei-
sure to consider what other hurdlerss it was expedient
for them to propose to have removed front a suffering
people, we cannot p.csume to say. This, however, we
will venture to assert, that if they happened to be so
employed, and have resolved to persevere consistently
in following up theplan of relief they have commenced,
they have never been engaged in a pursuit which can
more redound to their honour, or from which they
'can obtain more satisfaction and applause. What they
have already done, little as it is in the way of redress
compared with the load of taxation and grievances with
n►ich the country is burthened, is sufficient to indicate
bow much more they could easily do if they con•
tinue united and animated with a similar spirit. But if
they stop in their career, and inconsistently relinquish
t►e vantage ground they have gained, all that they
have dose will only serve to convince the country how
much more wonid have been done, were its representa-
tires returned in such a manner as to render them
more independent of Ministers, and identified with
the interests and feelings of the people. Lofty
as the language of Ministers may be when they
are compelled to condescension ; though they
talk of " the abandonment of this tax as a proof
of the earnest desire of Minions to do all is their
power fur the alleviation of the public burthens I" and
tl.ough they hope " that the country would receive
u itli pleasure the boon that had been conceded," still
Cary are made to feel that the p►wer of the public
purse, which they affect to open or to shut at pleasure,
i• actually In the bands of the House, and that they
are constitutionally dependent for the supplies they ad-
minister on the discretion of the Commons. The
tiss;scaLiasa of the Excttagt•xa said that " be bad
reserved Ids *seem to the Bill at first, in order
to ascertain that the majority really was in
Cron,. of the repeal of the tax." So far hie language
oAs strictly Parliamentary ; but be is said to bare
added, what, if the. report of his speech be correct, can-
not he admitted to be equally formal, "that from
what be bad heird dace the debate took place, be bad
so longer any doubt upon that subject." Even the
Cutocceuma of tilt EICHVaCift must, it seems eon-
sent to learn the seselfuents of a asajority of the House
