COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAT 2.

The LORD CHIRP JVITICR and Mr. Justice BEST
being both indisposed, bat two Judges sat this morning.
The Court was occupied a considerable portion of the
day in passing sentence upon defendants convicted on
the late Circuits of offences against the Excise and Cus-
tom Laws.—The cases were destitute of public interest.
Mr. SCARLETT moved for a criminal information
against a Magistrate of Hertfordshire, for giving his opi-
nion on the Bench at Sessions, in a case in which he
was personally interested, and taking an active part in
endeavouring to influence his brother Justices on a ques-
tion, ail to the costs of an appeal, to which he was in
some degree a party.
The Cootr said they did not think this a ground for
a criminal information, bat suggested that, as a matter
of delicacy, it would have been as well if the Magistrate
so situated did not interfere with the deliberations of his
brethren, unless it was to explain any part of his own
conduct.—Rule refused.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Mar 2.
Sittings in Banco.
Fitzsman v. BEST.—This was a motion to discharge
the defendant out of the custody of the Keeper of the
New Prison, Clerkenwell, as to this snit, on the
ground that the plaintiff had bees guilty of negli-
gence, in not charging him in execution within the time
limited. It appeared that the defendant had at first been
committed to the custody of the Warden of the Fleet,
from whence he was removed to the King's Bench Pri-
son, and afterwards sent to the New Prison on a criminal
charge. While remaining in custody on this charge, the
time ter charging him in execution elapsed, and the:de-
fendant now contended, that by the negligence of the
plaintiff he was entitled to his discharge. A rule had
been obtained for this purpose, and the Court had de-
ferred giving their judgment till this day.
Lord Chief Justice DALLAS now said, that no negli-
gence could be imputed to the plaintiff, who could not
indeed have proceeded one in the cause until after
the expiration of the defends:it's imprisonment. This
Court could Dot have brought up the defendant to be
charged in execution, as it possessed no criminal juris-
diction, and the plaintiff ought not DOW to be deprived
of his remedy on account of the lapse of time which had
arisen solely Wm the defendant': own conduct.—Rule
,discharged.

LONDON MARKETS.

CITY. APRIL 30, 1623.

BACON.—There has been a good deal of manceuvriag
during the past week, on the part of the speculators, wbo
have caused an advance of about 5 per cent. But, it has
been found, as we predicted, that no profit can be made by
drying and selling to the retailers. And yet there era per-
sons desperate enough to push on, in the hope of being 45. e
to cause a further advance, in spite of past experience, and
in spite of the present untoward weather, which, together
with the high price, will, assuredly, make the consumption
much smaller than usual. In the mean time the weather is
very favourable for making up; and, accordingly, we find
the manufacturers are going briskly on. There is another
cireamstance against speculation, namely, that there is not
now a general credit, the want of which keeps a great many
active men out of the market: so that the speculators are
compelled to shift their stocks from one to another; for the
aseesemongers have taken care, as they almost always dea,
to be pretty well supplied for their own natural trade.—

LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

Yesterday Jokattaa newsy was tried upon an indictment
charging her with having committed a misdemeanour in de-
serting her child in the parish of Cripplegate.
Mr. A RABIN said, the prosecution had been instituted by
the parish, which was shocked at the remarkable want of
feeling in the mother, who abandoned the Infant at night in
cold and darkness.

The ease was fully proved by Mrs. Mary Smith, the wife
of a publican at the corner of Tenter-alley, Cripplegate.—
This witness beard the child cry, ■nd on going into the
street found it lying alone on the pavement. She took it up,
put it to her breast in the place of her own child and che-
rished it, until the perish officers tendered their services.
The prisoner said in her defence that her extreme poverty
had compelled her to look about for an asylum for her child,
and that ahe never had entertained an idea of abandoning
it. She waited in the neighbourhood in which she deposit-
ed it until Mrs. Smith appeared ►nd supplied the place of a
mother.

The Jury found her Guilty.
The ReCORDER expressed the utmost abhorrence at her
cruelty. and sentenced her to be imprisoned iu the noise of
Correction for oue year.
A woman named Nathan was tried for keepirg a cost
notorious and abominab,e brotnel in Still-alley, itout.ds-
ditch.

It was proved that the neighbourhood of noun:Mite:l.
was constantly disturbed by cries of murder and rubbery.
and that many men complained of being plundered of all
their property in the prisoner's house.
The prisoner said in her defence, at her house was an
honest and proper place, and not at all a house for ••
and gentlemen."
She was found guilty, and sentenced to one year's impri-
sonment.

A woman named Price, who keeps a house of il;-fame
next door to that of Mrs. Nathan, was also found guilty ;
but Mrs. Price was not such a veteran, showed some symp-
toms of contrition, and was sentenced to confinement for a
month. Her servant was sentenced to imprisonment for i&
days.

SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1823.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY.

Last night, in the House of Commons, the inquiry re-
specting the conduct of the Sheriff of Dublin began, and
kept on till nine at night. There is to be three days of
the week for this work. The other three days for other
work.—The inquirydid not go far last night; but some-
thing very material occurred before it began. Our read-
ers will bear in mind that the charge against Mr. PLUN-
)(Err was, that, in filing his ex-officio information, in
o►der to get at people who had been acquitted by a Grand
Jury, he bad done that which had never been done before.
This was the heaviest part of the charge against him.
It has now been proved, that the very same thing was
dore twelve years ago, by Mr. PLUNKETT'S predecessor,
Mr. SSURIN !—This has operated greatly to the relief of
Mr. PLUNKETT.—The state of Ireland is quite horrible
to think or ; bat we must confess that we expect very lit-
tle good to be done by this inquiry. There is one con-
solation; a dismal one it is, to be sure; and that is,
that no inquiry; or any thing else, can make things
worse.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

LADIAS AND GBNT RRRRR
HAVING been encouraged to offer myself, on the
fit at ferourable opening, as a CANDIDATE fur
the distinguished office of a DIRECTOR. of your Affairs,
I have oniy been prevented hith. rto from publicly announce
ing my intention by the apprehension that such a step might
be considered premature while I was still connected with
Commercial Establishment in India. That connection, how-
ever, hiving now terminated, I shall take the earliest possi-
ble occasion of waiting on you individually, and soliciting
the favour of your suffrages.
I west out to Bengal as a Writer in the Honourable Con!-
' pany's Civil Service in the year 1802; and, during the early
period of my residence in India, held for some time an ap-
pointment in the Cammercial Department, in which I was
fortunate enough to obtain • very flattering testimonial of
my conduct from my superior in office. In the year 1807, 1
quitted that employment for the purpose of joining-the Louse
of Alexander and Co. of which I cmitinued an active partner
np to the period of my embarkation for England in Dessein-
bee, 1818. With the experience necessarily acquired hi
these different.situntions, dur'ng the sixteen years of my life
which I have paased.in the Honourable Company's territo-
ries abroad, 1 would fain hope that I shall not be found alto,
getber anprepared for those important fenctions which it is
my ambition to undertake. Anzi should you eventually ho-
nour me with your choice, I may at least venture to assete
you, that my time shall be faithfully devoted, and the be: t
of my humble abilities honest'y aaplied, to the promotion
of your interests, and those of the extensive regions over
which you preside.

knowledgements to those personal hie:Wolof. We.

OPENING OF THE NEW DOCKS AT SHEERNESS.

The interesting ceremony of opening the New Docks at
Sheerness took place yesterday, in the presence of an im-
mense mnltitude.of.persons collected from all parts of the
surrounding country.
During the whole of Thursday, steam-vessels and sail-
ing boats of various descriptions were seen lan•ling their
passengers at the stairs, and before night 'there was not a
house of public accommodation in Sheerness which was
:not completely thrown': a;•h visitors, many of whom
were fineable to proeurebedi for the night, although large
premiums were offered.—Among others who were thus
landed, were Sir Joseph Yorke, and about sixty fashion-
able friends, male and female, who hat corns down the
Thames in the steamer bearing the Worthy Baronet's
name.
Yesterday morning, as early as five o'clock, Lord Mel-
Ville, as First Lord of the Admiralty, hoisted his flag on
board the Lord Howe—a circumstance which was imme-
diately followed by a royal salute from the ships of war
On duty in the harbour, the whole of their yards being
madneil for the occasion. These ships were the Prince
Regent, 120 guns; the Genoa, 74; the Isis frigate, and
the Rifle gnn•brig. The morning was extremely beautiful,
and the stillness which prevailed being thus disturbed, soon
led to general hustle in the lawn.

His Royal Highness the Hulce of Clarence, who had ap-
pointed to tie present, arrived at Rochesrer on Thursday
evening at six o'clock, arid dined with Sir Benjamin Hal-
lowell, the Port Admiral. At six o'clock yesterday morn!
ing, his Royal Higtmei,s was on the alert; and at seven
embarked in the Admiral's barge, with !ten oars. His
11.4yal Highness was accompanied only by Sir Benjamin,
sin whs. dressed In a naval unifothi. The royal staalar'l
was displayed from the taw of tire barge. At the moment
of Iris It.iyal Highness's departure from Chatham, the Sir
iodeph Yorke steam Vessel, which hal come up for pas-
sengeis, had also raat off, and as tile barge passed the

CATHOLIC MIRACLES.

We regret, most tfeepff,.to be'compelled to return to this
sahjoat ;—hot another mired° has been added to the list
of the Ponder-we/king specimens of the art of Prince Ho-
heninhe ; and we really cannot guess at the extent to•which
credulity may be called upon' to go. We have no Objection..
to those believing in spiracles, who see them performed:
if the seises or the judgment min be so far imptised upon;
bat such things. ought .to be kept withio the pale of the
Church, aodtheliusies of the closet. Children may be amused
and old women, is sad out of petticoa's, may be cheated by
them:—bat men ought to *be ashamed of them. There
cea be no doubt that these stories are all knavish trickeries,
or scltdelusions. Why d'ors not Prince Holsenlohe heal
all the sick at once.? Why does he not go into the public
hospitals, and bid the lame walk, and the sick be well?
Witt does he confine himself to patients and to circum-
stances, where arrangemen•s may be made to help him at
a pinch? What the object can be its "propagating such
nonsense; we are at a loss to conceive. Do the Catholics
imagine the -age of miracles has been restored ? and that
the world can be reduced again to its nonage? The power
of snperstition is certainly amazing. Men of shrewd
intellect, in other respects, were seduced into a belief
of the' prophecies, and a faith in the pretensions of
Johanna Soutlicott ; and the ignorance of the great mass
of the Irish Catholic toMmunity, with its knotin devotion
s '4
to the priesthood, renders it more easy to impose upon
them. But is it not culpable in the extreme to lead them
astray by pretended miracles that have no other foundation
than the folly or the knavery of the parties interested ?
That the independent and able Editor, of the Irishman,
should appear to countenance such exteavagaecies, bas a
most mischievous tendency. A Miracle-mongers are the
worst politicians in the world. They ore always in expec-
tation of some miraculoips interference in their favour;
aid lose what they might obtain by not taking
the requisite means to.secure it. Is Prince Holtenlohe ex-
pected to work the miracle of Catholic emancipatioa? We
.were ins hopes the Irish Catholics would not hare been this

COTENT-GA RDEN. —nip Play of AI pat like it, was per-
t ormed, last night, to a very respectable and crowed
stollens-lb, for the first time this season. This drama is
generally conceived to be better calculated for the reader
than the auditor. And certainly, sinless every character I.
the piece be well supported, its interest is not espial to
many oth.rs of Shakespeare's comedies. The part of
Rosalind is one of peculiar difficalty ; and, since the days
of MIS. JORDAN, Seldom has an actress been found to do it
common justice. bites Joe's, the Rosalind of last night,
Is not the Rosalind which Shakespeare drew. She don
'sot conceive the part well, or she would certainly have
Mingled a little sensibility and feeling with the wit and
playfulness of the character; and have been somewhat less
of the hoyden in her representation of the daughter of a
Duke. She' possesses considerable merit, however. Her
voice is very good, her manner animated ; and her delivery
lie, at time., very superior. Throughout the piece she
gave general satisfaction to the audience, and was loudly
encored in the song, " When daisies pied," dsc. Muss
c stained the part of Celia ; and almost
e
l m romantic
mar ides of the and disio-
tee us
mend of the blnislied Princess. Mr. Young's
peraorlfiestion of the melancholy Jacques, was able and
' finished is the extreme ; we can Lordly imagine any Way
it meting, to excel his delivery of the celebrated speech on
The seven stages of life. The scene in which tbete
is a war of wit between Jacques and Orlando,
was a high dramatic treat. Mr. Kamm' was re ex-
' rellent lover of the fair Rosalind ; but . a Bate
too far advanced, to borrow the words of Billy Lack a
day:" into tht wale i.f years," to guide our fancy altogether.
We most hint to Mrs. limas tbat sbe completely misonder-
' ;fool' the character of Audrey. She is a simple _country
• wench, it is true; and more than half a- foul; but she is
not the burlesque of a baboon ; nor are her actions to be
those of a clown to a gang of Mountebanks. Mr. Rarear
' could not do justice to the part of Sifoime; we think we. 4
may quote his own words, and apply them to him.

THE IRISH PAPER MANUFACTURE.

(runt Tug DUI LAN SIORNIXO POST.)
'• We, had expected when the cite of Ireland, and our
relief from taxation Intl been under the coasirieration of
Governmeat and the Legistrtnre during the last Session of
Parliament, 01,4 the Isiah I'aper Manufacturer would have
inn relieved from a paltry tax, ir.signiticant in amoun',
tat which is well cAculated to afford employment to
inmate officers sand in./Ora/ere; and math trouble, and
awns loss to all contented in the trade. Hitherto thC Irish
smoufaeturer bail paid a duty on his engine, of Its. 6d.
British per cubic foot per montir;wlrich was estimated to
sysrage.st the rate of 3d. per lb. British on the manatee-
lon. The Commissioners of Heeiee may charge for any
exeeu produced by the engine, but such has been the kick-
ward state of the trade in this country, that no surcharge
had been hitherto made; and the trade between the con-
sumer and the manufacturer was regulated accordingly—
there might have been some trilling excess of produce, but'
it west to the advantage of the consumer wholly, as the
article could, by no possible management, be made to bring
higher prices. It is true that the paper martefactored in
Borland le charged 3d. per lb. duty ; but in England there
is ao engine duty, and the manufacturers have other, and
considerable advantages. The very fine and abundant
materials for producing the article which that opulent
country affords, and their great command of capital, enable
them to manufacture a more valuable article than can be
produced in Ireland.
Upon the late reduction of officers in the Revenue De.
Pallataat, some of them well understood the miserable
paper Widen' Ireland, and the shifts to which the Minn.
lecturers were driven to carry en their business. Theie
persons, as wa are informed, applied to the Commissioners
of Excise for warrants on the Preventive Service, which
were readily obtained; they then pounced, without a
moment's notice, on the straggling manufacturers; seised
and serried away almost the whole of their stock on bands;
and, in a few days, deprived nearly all the Traders of the
means to continua !Gager to employ their work-people,
who aireher from eight t• tea thonsand in this County

GALE OF WIND L tST NIGHT.

TIM Metropolis last night was visited with. a tremen':
ens S. S. west gale, which caused much damage among
the shipping in the Thames. The first tier of the Toner
broke adrift, which, together with a number of barge,
created great coMusion and endangered the safety of many
vessels, %%Welt were obliged to have their anchors carried
on shore to hold them Several aufferad great injury, as
(lid also much property on lend. In Lambeth the sky
lights of mane respectable houses were beat in. and Mein.
habitants put in imminent danger. Along the beach ioltat-
cliffe and Rotherhithe, many tents which hail been erected
for the accommodation of labourers were blown down, and
their fragments strewed in different directions. At No.
19, in Castle Street, Holborn. the house of Mr. 'Fehr',
schoolmaster, was materially injured. About ten o'clock
the sky lights were drove in by the gale, which, accompa-
nied with rain, made a terrible 'smock amid the tiling,
and placed the inmates in great peril. The house of Mr.
Skiffere, near Battersea Bridge, was nearly unroofed, mad
the rein poured into the interior. In St. James's Park
several of the trees were lopped of their heads and branches;
in the vicinity of town, many fences were destroyed, and
at the New flitmumnts in Covent Harden, • chimney was
blown down. Starks of chimneys were carried away ia
other plate•, and many p►rsons, in walking the streets,
were severely hurt by the falling of tiles.
•

FURTHER EFFROrti OF THE STORM.
At about eight o'clock in the eveuinir, a very henry sleek of
chimneys were blown down at the house of Mr. Bowen, bet
maker. Charles street, Black fria rs road, which did considerable
damage. The weight of the bricks. sc. eatuted the root to
fall in, and shortly alter the whole of the house gave way Ind
overwhelmed the furniture. The crash caused great *Mut,
end the ne'ghbours rushed from their houses anticipating
similar accidents, but fortunately no further damage was done
in that street. From the nature of the accident, the saddea
manner in which it took place, and the whole of the house
from the roof to the shop being a mass of mit, 5, considentele
fears were entertained that Mr. Bowen and his family
had fal:en sidles to the catastrophe, bet on enquiry
it was ascertained that they on that evening ecru, int
the lower part of the Irvise. and hid jest sufficient time
to escape being buried in the ruins. The whole of the
furniture and ether property were completely destroyed;
and Me. Blown's lois most bare'jbeen very great.—A stark
of chimneys was blown from the roof of we house of Mr.
Plank, Stationer, of Blackfria s' Road, which fell with w
mach force. that the whole of the pavement was smashed.
An elderly lady was passing by at the time, and was stria
by some of the pieces. and much liurt,aml had a r arrow ff.
